  Speaker 1: You can use car you can use pockets, you can
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: use straps, you can use whatever you need to use.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: But you have to hold it.
• 7:13
  Speaker 8: And I've heard and I've been hitting the gym more
• 7:16
  Speaker 8: than you could ever know, and I've been filling myself
• 7:19
  Speaker 8: up with more devil's juice than you can imagine.
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: Yay, the good kind, only the good guy soup.
• 7:26

  Speaker 6: I am a rocket. This is my third year as
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: a Rocket. I'm actually sticking.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Around longer, unbelievable because usually only rockets make it, what
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: two years or something.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: The shelf life rumor is.
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: I've hit my head so many times that they're scared
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: to fire me and that.
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: I'll go and uh okay.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Just a quick follow up on that, is it. They're
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: scared to fire you because you'll do something crazy or
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: because you'll soup either or that's the rumor.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I also wanted to I wanted to congratulate you, Soup.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I know that they reserve a specific role in the
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Nutcracker production that you guys do for these senior rock Cats.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: You're playing air drossal Meyer this year, so I think
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: that's really cool. That's really the old man with the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: eye patch that gives the girl the Nutcracker.
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: It's it's a huge, huge moment in my career. I think,
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: similar to Stiz, I am going into my veteran years.
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: And though the Rockets exist a little outside of the parade,
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: but also within the parade. It's beautiful to like celebrate
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: my third year playing that role.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: What's his name.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Again, Air Drossomeyer, the old grizzled growth a drawer.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Ken, you don't remember because you hit your head.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: So no, I hit my head to my time.
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: But because I kick if people don't remember, because I
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: sometimes don't. Sometimes they kick so high I hit my
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: head and then I flip back around. So I am
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: playing Air Drafsmeyer. They're putting me in a heavy prosthetics,
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: they said this year for Air Drawsmeyer, they're going to
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: go with disgusting.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: And I'm really excited about that.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: I'm really excited to see those prosthetics. Disgusting sounds so
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: fun and so Thanksgiving for me.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Thanksgiving. Speaking of Thanksgiving, we are very excited about
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade coming out very soon on
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Thanksaving November twenty third this year. And Viv, I don't
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: know if you wanted to announce this year's theme.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Well, this year's theme is, of course, drum roll please
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: so excited, factory farming. It is sort of a celebration
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: of factory farming. It is an uplift of factory farming.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: We thought the turkey's on the table why not see
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: the process before the turkey hits the table, right, Let's
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: see the farms that do the great work, and not
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: just farms, the companies that hold the farms as well.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: We want to hold them up in celebrations. So we're
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: doing lots. We're doing a we're doing a cage balloon
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: that is a representative of cages that birds go into.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: And we are doing a cattle ranch coalinga balloon today
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: and it's going to be very exciting. We're still working
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: out how we're doing it. We're going to put one
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: thousand tiny cows a bunch together in the air, So
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: we're very excited. Lots of developments happening, and we're just
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: very stoked.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: We really wanted to reclaim the term factory farming because
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: it's begun to be used in a negative context. And
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the people that work in factory farms are hardworking people
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: and they get a lot of stuff done in a
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: little amount of time, and a lot of stuff done
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: that we're actually enjoying on Thanksgiving Day, and so we
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: wanted to show how fun it is and how exciting
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: it is, and how it is such a modern marvel
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: that the factory farming exists and something that only us
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: as a modern society could be really proud of.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Exactly, And can we just give it up for corn
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: syrup for a minute, for corn syrus. You celebrate corn syrup.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Corn syrup.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: It's done so much for us, and it's in so
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: many things, and it's gotten a bad wrap.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: But just for a minute, let's give it up for
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: a minute.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Let's just give them, let's just pay their dues. And
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: I do want to give a quick shout out as
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: well to mon Santo. They have been a wonderful cost
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: sponsor this year.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Well, and I don't want to correct you, Viv, but
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: it is not It is not co sponsor, it is
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: title partner. So it is the thing, the abazy things,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: giving the paid by Monsanta you do.
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: It's like Talma Jerry.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Constantly popping each other over the head. We give it up.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: But I do think we're both the cat. I do
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: think we're both the cat.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: I think we're both the cat. If we were the mouse,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: we wouldn't be able to handle this. We would crack
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: after a day exactly exactly. Only cats can handle something
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: like this, So it's really exciting.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Sorry to jump in here. I just feel like I'm sorry,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry. It just feels like maybe this is gonna
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: be another controversial year. Like I know, we've had some
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: controversial years in the past with the themes that you
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: guys end up choosing, and I'm just as the filler
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: who's been around for a while, I'm just wondering, I'm
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: just wondering if this isn't one of those years again.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Do you guys remember feet Picks year when the theme
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: was feet picks?
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I certainly remember feet Picks a year that was my
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: first year. It wasn't my call, but I did execute
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: it to the best of my ability, and it was challenging.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, this was the nineties, this was even before
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: the Internet, and so it was Kodak. Kodak was sponsoring it,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: and it was really challenging. What I would say is
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: we don't have so much as controversial years. We have
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: years that reflect the environment we're in. So I would
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: like to reframe that idea exactly.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: The macys Thing Giving Day Periade is a mirror to society.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: It reflects our values and what we hold deer and
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: what is the conversations that are already happening.
• 13:10
  Speaker 8: I I hate to jump in here also because again
• 13:13
  Speaker 8: I'm just a holder, and again I think I didn't
• 13:15
  Speaker 8: go to college. But I do want to say that
• 13:19
  Speaker 8: if we are reflecting what's going on now, I in
• 13:23
  Speaker 8: my personal life have gone away from eating animal products
• 13:27
  Speaker 8: because I do think that it is making the planet deteriorate.
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: So the fact that we.
• 13:32
  Speaker 8: Are now supporting in our I guess partnered with these
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: chemical companies and also talking about the way in which
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: we capture slaughter and put turkeys into the supermarts on
• 13:47
  Speaker 8: the bike A. Yes, I'm just trying to point out
• 13:51
  Speaker 8: that perhaps John Carlo has a point and we we
• 13:54
  Speaker 8: we should, we should change the.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: Just feelish really quickly, really quickly.
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: I just want to say I agree with everything that's
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: been said because I'm a follower.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, listen, and I want to thank you guys for
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: being brave and speaking to this because it's so inspiring
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: to me that we have a workplace where you can
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: voice your thoughts. I think that is incredible. What I
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: might remind.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Every holder has a thought, we value that, yes.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Exactly, we really value that. What I might remind you,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: guys is that we have a Google form for this,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: so if you want it to really be taking.
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: I don't have a computer.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: I don't have a computer, and that's notorious doesn't have
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: a computer.
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: Notoriously I know.

• 15:27
  Speaker 1: a little bit to circling back. I'm circling back to
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: factory farming, just to circle back on that. If you noticed,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: we said factory farming. We didn't talk about animals slaughtering, right,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: We're celebrating the farmers, and I want to highlight that
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: we're celebrating the people that work hard, and for you
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: guys to discredit the work they're doing is a little
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: bit going against the American people. There's millions of people
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: that are factory farmers. There's millions of people that work hard.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: So I would remind you, guys, we're celebrating people out
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: there totally.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: I just I just I guess what I want to
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: admit now is I don't want to be a filler
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: for one of the hundred men you have naked and
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: cage for this one. Okay, I don't want to be
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: a filler for that one.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: Okay okay.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: And again those reassignments can be submitted through the Google
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: form so we can make sure that all of this
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: because ultimately we want everyone to be happy because today
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: is going to be such today. Today, every day, every
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: day leading up to the parade is a gift, and
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: the parade itself is a gift.
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: That's funny you said that, because I do believe Viv that, like,
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: once we're in November, this feels like one really really
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: long day that won't end. And I feel like all
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: of us every year we're here, right, and we should
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: speak to the endurance that we all go through.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, let's talk about it. Sup. What you said
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: was high key fire just now. I think that's exactly
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: what is happening. It's endurance. It's hard. I will say
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: my local Pizez coffee shop, I check in and I
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: grab myself my favorite brew, pize Coffee. When I grab
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: myself a pizza, I.
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: You grab yourself coffee, got it?
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: When I grab myself a pizza coffee, I go in.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing, I've never heard anyone else talk about
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: going to a pizza coffee and I just want to
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: let people know that I go to pizza coffee.
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: Well, I haven't heard people talking about going to subway sandwiches.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm not talking about sandwiches, talking about cofee. A
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: lot of people talk about going to Starbucks and Duncan
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: and they don't talk about pizza. And it hurts.
• 17:29
  Speaker 8: I think because it's pizza is like not as good.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, and that's an opinion and you can submit that
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: to the Google form. But when I go in November.
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: Five, I don't have a computer.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: When I go in November. First I go in and
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: they say, oh, no, you again, Let's just give you
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: a VAT And it's always a big joke and we
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: all laugh about it and that's but that's how we reconact.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Because I'm drinking so much. What I meant to say
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: is I'm drinking a lot of coffee.
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: We got that, Yeah, yeah, we got it.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: We can tell. I think we can tell.
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: I really love we got Didn't we get a sponsor
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: this year from Celsius Official?
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: We did?
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: We CU's official is very exciting.
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: The rockets have been on Celsius for this whole past
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: year now and it is absolutely wild back there.
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: What's the Celsius Float's gonna be?
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: What's the Celsia float gonna be?
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: I'm actually so excited to announce the Celsiest float is.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: It is a tubes themed float, like those tubes at
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: the bank that shoot the money up. So it's a
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: bunch of those, but they're Celsius in them and they're
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: flying around and under all of the tubes. I can't
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: wait to tell everybody the person under all of the tubes,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: it's of course Vinnie Hacker singing his signature song Don't
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: fuck with Me like my homeboys used to.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Oh you know what, I love. How creative that was.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: You guys thought of Celsius in the theme of banking.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well they like they more like the idea of
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: the Celsius is shooting around in tubes, and so we
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: connected it to banking a little bit.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: And on the balloon side, I am so excited to
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: announce that the balloon that is trailing this float is
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: none other than mister Beast in the sky Helius, and
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: he is bundling money into those tubes.
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: That's wonderful.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Mister Beast also is doing a challenge, and I can't
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: speak a lot to it. I know that Stiz is
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: involved in the challenge. It is confidential right now, but
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Stiz is uh one of the contestants it is.
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: Talk a little about it Thanksgiving.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: I hate to be a big announcement, but I also
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: have had to fill in for a couple of people
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: in the tournament, so I am also in that video.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about it, STIs, Can you drop a couple
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: of deets about the challenge, the tournament that mister Beast
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: is doing.
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah, in partnership with the Celsius for Thanksgiving.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: Okay, yes, great corporations.
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: So what has happened is a mister Beast.
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: Sorry, I'm going to ruin the NBA now because I'm
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: gonna tell you a whole thing.
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so don't tell on.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: Me to be fairstist. They didn't give you an NDA
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: because you don't have a computer.
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: Well no, they mail me papers and then I mail
• 20:08
  Speaker 8: them back. I have mail on the houseboat. So what
• 20:11
  Speaker 8: happens is that mister Beast has gathered around fifteen turkeys
• 20:16
  Speaker 8: and has injected celsius into all of them and then
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: sets them free into a meadow, and then myself and
• 20:26
  Speaker 8: fourteen other contestants have to chase our turkey and the
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: person to collect the most celsius hopped up turkeys is
• 20:34
  Speaker 8: the winner of the Mister Beast Challenge.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: And can I just.
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: Say, because I've also been invited to this, I'm not
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: a contestant, but just as a viewer, you haven't lived
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: till you've seen a turkey run around injected with celsius.
• 20:45
  Speaker 8: They are fast, and I'm fast, but there are somehow
• 20:48
  Speaker 8: they are faster.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just to jump on the So mister Beast usually
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: doesn't have viewers, but there's another contest going on for
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: the viewers. Whoever the viewer laughs the most and feels
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: like most don Celsius wins a car, a Tesla car,
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: but they can choose to give up that car and
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: spend the night in the woods with the rest of
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: the turkeys to win five hundred thousand dollars.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: It's insane, and we should say what the winner of
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: the Turkey Challenge wins. It's Delaware. They win Delaware.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: Miss Beast has been in a deal with Delaware to
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: buy and sell Delaware.
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: Give it to one of the contestants.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: Listen, if we're breaking NDAs, let's go.
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: I heard a little rumor that there's an entire episode
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: of the Voice on our paray this year.
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: Is that true?
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, I guess there is maybe a leak in
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: the higher ups, and it certainly wouldn't come from the floats.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: It sounds like a leak would come from the balloon.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: I would say that the Slack channels have been divided
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: to prevent this sort of thing from happening, because the
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Rockets are on a very different channel. They should not
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: be all those hashtags that are confidentially.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and to be honest a group. We are a
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: group me only dance corporation.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Well we can, yeah, I mean corporately. We exiled you
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: guys to Microsoft teams, so I don't understand how you
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: got over to Slack, but we can tell you honestly.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: As platforms are actually giving me quite a headache.
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: Certainly, and you know why it's giving you a headache.
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: It's five G anyway, yes.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Well so, so I guess I can announce that all
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: four posts or judges guest judges from the Voice are
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: going to be on the very special Medmen Float and
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: they're going to be sitting on giant spinning beanbagsa Ariva.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: It's going to be Riva, Niall Horn, Gwen Stefani, and
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: John Legend, and they're going to spin around on a
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: giant bean bag shaped like their Voice chair and they
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: are going to land on somebody in the audience. The
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: thing about this is we've actually decided in one section
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: we put some of our favorite singers and we're having
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: the entire crowd sing at the same time. They're going
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: to be singing a classic Santa Baby, and they're going
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: to sing Santa Baby, and then the people, the judges
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: from the we're gonna get out of their Medmen beedbacks
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: and they're gonna pick somebody and that person's going to
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: join them for the rest of the float, which is
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: five or six blocks. It's gonna be fun.
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: Wow, that's not how the show the voice works.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Right, It certainly isn't, But it's how the float.
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: Works that loves the voice.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: I think the only thing for the voice that that
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: is is the hosts and some sort of spinning up Pete.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: What I will say is that Medmen got a lot
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: of say in this one. The rep for the float
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: at Medmen is so loud and he's so strong, and
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: it's really interesting to be around with him because I
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: think I could learn a lot from them, But he's
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: not interested. It's great. I mean, I can't wait for
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: you guys, can't wait for you guys to check it out.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: I wanted to bring out the real fact about the
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: parade this year. It's starting thirty minutes earlier at eight
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: thirty am as opposed to nine am. And I don't
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: know about you guys, Yeah, yeah, yeah, what do you
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: think about that? Viv, Because it has caused a lot
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: of problems for.
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: Me, it has.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: It has really set the whole equilibrium off. And I
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: will say that the reason we did that, because I
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: know there's it's been hairy for everybody. But the reason
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: we did that is to celebrate the life of a farmer. Right,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: he gets up at four am and he cleans out
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: the eggs from the chickens, and he tends to the
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: pigs and hogs, and that's what happens every morning, and
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: so we wanted to pay tribute to that, right. We
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: wanted to pay tribute to that. Unfortunately, it has knocked
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: everybody sort of into a craze. Everyone is not good
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: before six am. We've started everybody on a four am
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: mandatory wake up schedule. So just for regular work zooms,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: we're scheduling them at five five thirty am. We don't
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: want anyone to risk sleeping in on the big day,
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: so we do have to keep up that regimen of
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: waking up at that time.
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: Because aren't the roosters going out into New York City
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: and cock.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: A doodling an hour before we start.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, we have trained some roosters via Elon Musk's uh neurallink.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Has He's been so generous We have trained a bunch
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: of roosters to wake up earlier than they.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: Should delicately, so there was didn't I read that article
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: that they will be dead two hours after the fair ends,
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: the parade ends, they will be dead.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: God willing they last that long. God willing they get
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: that long. God willing that neuralink actually works, because that
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: is all Elon has guaranteed us. He said, we'll get
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: you through the float.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: He said.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: A bunch of pictures that would didn't make any sense to.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Us, A lot of pictures.
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: That's great. How's everybody's year?
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Been?
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: My question? I just like to catch up with old friends.
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: I love that should I want to say we should
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: talk because people don't know that since we have such
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: a busy Christmas and Thanksgiving, our office Christmas party or

• 26:09
  Speaker 2: And thank you once again to the good people at
• 26:11

• 26:52
  Speaker 6: you know what I mean, it's our wrap party basically.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: But there was some drama, some goss.
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: I meanzz.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Night at night, you heart breaker.
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: It's like it's like you're the hairy styles of the company,

  Speaker 8: this last year, so our first public forum, people really
• 27:18

  Speaker 7: Now.
• 27:34
  Speaker 8: Everyone really was into how full of muscles I am

• 27:52
  Speaker 7: I am. Toy Is still still works with us. It

  Speaker 8: No matter how many pieces of mail I sent you
• 27:59
  Speaker 8: guys about requesting that you fire this woman.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: I really wish you would use the Google form because
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: if you use the Google form, we would have been
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: able to maybe deal with this.
• 28:08
  Speaker 7: But I don't have no computer. I don't know.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: You have to understand how many children send us letters
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: because they know we're connected to Santa. We have so
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: much mail all the time. It's so hard to get
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: through the physical mail.
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: I actually had a.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: Question for you, Stace, what is your address if you

  Speaker 6: Have you ever met a sailor before, John Carlow, I
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: just like find it really weird that sailors.

  Speaker 5: What a sailor? Tailors don't own houseboats, they work on
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: a boat.
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: I just feel like you're like deadweight in this interview,
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: right now.
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: We keep trying to move on, and you keep going
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: back to how sis gets mail.

  Speaker 8: I Am not going to say my address publicly, but
• 29:05
  Speaker 8: I will let you know I do have an address
• 29:08

  Speaker 8: it is a boat, it is a house, and it
• 29:12
  Speaker 8: doesn't that address stas Just.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: So we can bury this hatchet, could you maybe describe
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: it and and create a fake address, but using the
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: same types of things that you would use in your
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: normal address.
• 29:24
  Speaker 8: Okay, sure you mean just random numbers and then it's
• 29:29
  Speaker 8: weird stream ideally.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Sure what's what it would be like and you can
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: make up the zip code and all that stuff.
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: Okay, So my fake address, much like a regular address,
• 29:39
  Speaker 8: starts with three to five numbers, Okay, then a name that's.
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: A street name. This is where I get confused.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Is it a doc?
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: What if you move your house do you just does
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: the mail.

  Speaker 5: What is how do people mail you?
• 29:56
  Speaker 8: I don't use the the houseboat as a boat. It
• 29:59
  Speaker 8: is just a house. It just happens to be on water.
• 30:03
  Speaker 8: I have fine, I have it parked in the pool
• 30:06
  Speaker 8: of a mansion.
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: That's it.
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: There's a giant pool in the backyard of a mansion,
• 30:16
  Speaker 8: and I have parked my house boat there.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Do you know the person who lives in the mansion?
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Nice?
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: It is my ex toy, your toil. That happened at
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: the end of that Fourth of July party, you.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: Are quite literally drowning in tune.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: I am drowning in it, Amen, trying to swift yellas
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: boat and actually drowning.
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: Is that what's happening.
• 30:44
  Speaker 8: Yes, that happens sometimes, but also I am getting it, okay.
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: Irons at the July fourth mass, the same mass, uh
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: grade you looked up with like five members of the
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: Mulan Rouge Broadway cast uh on Tomble.
• 30:58
  Speaker 8: I did uh, I did we And it was in
• 31:02
  Speaker 8: fact and orgy. It was in fact in orgy.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: And I would like to kind of take some responsibility
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: for this and in a more of a somber way,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: more serious way, because you know, I am and and
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: VIVI and I are two of the only salaried positions
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: at the Thanksgiving a parade and everyone else is hourly.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: So you guys are not held accountable for anything, and
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: we can't have any sort of relations. There's no we're
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: just contract chart. Yeah, I can't. We can't do hr
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: between somebody in a Broadway musical and a high school
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: marching band. You know what I mean. That's not that,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: that's kind of it's it's it's it's on its own.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: But what we did do we thought it would be
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: fun to have guess people's weight at the party, and
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: she picks people up and she would she would pick
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: people up and guess their weight by the pound because
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: she's really good at it.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Truly, it could have gone so south, but the whole
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: thing felt so body positive.
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: It was amazing.
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: It was very schoolers there. You had Broadway dancers there.
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: It was a recipe per disaster.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Yes, you had a lot of people there. And the
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: thing is when you pick them up, you would say, oh,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: you're only blank. So everyone felt so good. And you
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: also would pick them up around their hips, and so
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: everybody felt an immediate connection with you.
• 32:11
  Speaker 8: My love language is touch and and so I was
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: just touching everyone at the party. Again, you guys decided
• 32:18
  Speaker 8: that it's not like I came up to you and
• 32:20
  Speaker 8: said hey, is there a way that I may touch
• 32:22
  Speaker 8: everyone in this company? You guys were like, hey, here's
• 32:25
  Speaker 8: a way that you may touch everyone in this company.
• 32:28
  Speaker 7: And so we.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Really needed that, and thank you for stepping in, and
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: thank you so much for stepping in, because Corporid Blue
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: bailed last minute. He was gonna shoot some hoops and
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: sing and we had booked him to do that, and
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: he bailed last minute because he decided he didn't want to,
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: and so we really needed entertainment and we needed it
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: fast because everyone was counting on us. Everyone counts on
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: the Macy's Day Parade to provide joy and to provide entertainment,
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: even if it's amongst our staff, and so we need
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: to uphold it to that standard.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: They asked me if I wanted to fill in for
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: Corby and Blue, but I was busy filming the event
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: with a DSLR because of the digital team.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: I'm on now and then, and I do think next
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: year you will take the lens cap off, and I'm
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: excited for that.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: I can't I cannot figure it out. I don't get it.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: How do you know if the lens camp is on
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: or off?
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: You know it's dark or you know I don't know
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: even I know that, But John Carlo, I have a
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: question for you, what are are what are you filling
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: in this year? Like do you have a heads up
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: or you will lap last minute?
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: Usually they give me no heads up and it's kind
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: of a last minute thing. But last night I did
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: get a very ominous text from you guys.
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: If you guys want to go over that, it's you did.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: I kind of said, beware, be wary all caps, and
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: it was a little bit of a riddle almost.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so we heard a harbinger this year. We brought
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: a harbinger on staff and it's just somebody that gives
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: warnings and we've noticed that a lot of his warnings
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: has been correct and they predicted the right times live you'
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: found the Harbinger, I believe.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, yes, this is well. This actually relates
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: to what I have been doing all year, which is
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: I have gotten into scientology and one of the amazing
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: people that I've met in my dianetics class is a harbinger.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: He is a cloaked man who is able to see
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: the future and talks to ravens as well. And so
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: I got with Trevor and I said, I know what
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: this team needs. I know because we cannot anticipate every
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: ball that's being thrown at us. Right, We're just getting
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: tons of things thrown at us constantly, constantly, constantly. We
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: need someone to be ahead of the game, to have
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: that foresight, to have that intuition to know what's coming next.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: And boy does orpheus know what's coming next.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: He certainly does. And if I could take a second,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: I just want to congratulate you on how you joined scientology.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: But she didn't make it your whole thing, and I
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: wanted to say that I really appreciate it. It's just
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: a part of you, and I think that's really awesome.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: It's just a part of me. I only break it out.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: I haven't agree with with myself because I want to
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: maintain career.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: First.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: I'm a scientologist. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Thursday.
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: All other days.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Tuesday, right, those are my party days. Those are my
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: viv days where I remember to be myself. Now here's
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: the tricky part. Uh, Thursday is the day of the parade,
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: and that is one of the days that I am
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: a scientologist. So one of the balloons that I have
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: been pushing for is the l Ron Hubbard balloon sponsored
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: by Hubba Bubba Gum and so.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, I had no idea they were a scientologist company.
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: Are they just related by? They don't know.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: What the balloon is yet. They are not aware yet,
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: but we're going to tell them and it's going to
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: be very exciting. And so we're almost locking that in.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: But I I agree, it is not my whole thing.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: I would never try and pressure any one of you.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: It is just something I believe in.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: I did sneak into the dropbox and I saw some
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: of the prototypes for Elron bah Bah and it is
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: so funny and it's it's l Ron blowing a big
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: bubble and Elron is little, but the bubble is big
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: and the bubble is the float and then Elron is
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: kind of this little toy at the end.
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you think.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Elron would be big because it's larger than life, sort
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: of god like figure you, but he's very small. I
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: think if you read the literature it would be to
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: you as well, but that is neither here nor there. Anyway,
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: We're very excited.
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So back to the Harbinger, the thing I got.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: He's been weird creeping me out with some of the
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: texts I keep getting from Orpheus.
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: He's a little forward, he's a little full.
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: But do you even know what department you're filling in for?
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 36:50
  Speaker 7: And did you solve any of the riddles?
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: I think, well if you like, yeah, yeah, okay, I'll
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: read a couple. One said, it's it's far.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: It rolls like a car, but it's not a car
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: but a part of a car. You are gonna be
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: rolling on the ground, little boy, Oh.

• 37:14
  Speaker 2: that's gonna be a ground job.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: That's gonna be a ground job.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: I thought I was gonna be the wheel of a car.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: That's what I thought I was. So what's happening there?
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: So for the first year ever, the Goodyear blimp is
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: gonna land and it's gonna have wheels and it's going
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: to turn into and so so it's like.
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: Another I see that blimp on the ground, my little
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: girl self will will just die and go to heaven.
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: I know, since I was a little kid too as well.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: So I used to look and said, where are they
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: gonna get that thing on the ground? And we're finally doing.
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: A childhood dream.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: A child has actually cost me so much anxiety all
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: my life to know that it's up there and I
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: don't know when it's ever coming down. So this is fantastic.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: And you know who's going to be catching it and
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: and situating it to get on the ground. It's Black Pig,

• 39:07
  Speaker 2: a connection with you and she was really bummed when
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: she didn't see you there. Uh.
• 39:11
  Speaker 8: Yeah, guys, sometimes it's good to be off the grid.
• 39:16
  Speaker 7: You can't really keep answering messages.
• 39:19
  Speaker 6: Oh he off the grid in a parked in a
• 39:23

• 39:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, so.
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess my year has been getting weird, cryptid
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: messages from Orpheus. He kind of gets a little creepy sometimes.
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: The other thing, Yeah, go ahead this.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: House real quick. Has has Orpheus mentioned anything about a
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: black rose?
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah? He keeps on men. He keeps on calling me
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: his black rose.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Oh gosh, viv Oh no, that's not very good.
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: What does that mean?
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: We're hoping this wouldn't happen.
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: Well, he keeps on saying, my little boy, my little
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: black rose.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: Yes, so he has so. So his agreement was that
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: he could claim one.
• 40:01
  Speaker 7: What Yes, So we sort.
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: Of told him in exchange.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: He didn't want money in exchange for his services, right,
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: and so legally, you know, to appease the powers that
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: we had to find another way to pay him. So
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: we said he could have one.
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: You might speak frankly speak Frank. I'm just gonna say something.
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: And you know what, all I am is a quirky
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: little girl who kicks too high with too much force.
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: But I'm gonna say it.
• 40:26
  Speaker 7: You more than that.
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: Thank you charge of you, Trevor and Viv because sometimes
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: I feel as if you are never checked.
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: On by a hire.
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: It's crazy, It's crazy.
• 40:38
  Speaker 7: I agree.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: A boss.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: What did you say, have a boss? We have a
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: bus saying we have.
• 40:45
  Speaker 8: A boss, a boss boss.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: We and our boss rides on the bus to work.
• 40:53
  Speaker 6: And we have If you say it's Santa, and I'm
• 40:57
  Speaker 6: gonna get mad, it's not Santa.
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: He can't be a boss.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: He gets Christmas to think about it. Joking nov is
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: being pernicious. I'll joking aside. To be very clear, I
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: find Santa, and I wanted to be clear us moving
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: this up thirty minutes has been very hard to lock
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: into Santa because these men do not want to get up.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: Most of them are on union contracts with truck driving
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: companies and they have to get twelve hours of sleep.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: A lot of them finish at ten pm?
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: Do they are they Santa's on the trucks?
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Is that how we technically we have begun to hire
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: truck drivers and so and they technically is a big truck.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: So technically that floats specifically is in the truck drivers union.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: And unfortunately it's been really hard to bow so that. No,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: Santa Claus is not our boss. I would say, our
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: boss is somebody that you hopefully will never meet. And
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: I say that with all passionate and compassion towards you, guys.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: Uh. We act as the sort of imagine, if you will,
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: a funnel and you're trying to pour wine into a funnel,
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: to fit it into a tiny little flask, and we
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: sort of catch all the gug all the pieces of cork,
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: all the all the coffee grinds, all the stuff you
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: don't want.
• 42:13
  Speaker 7: Well, funnels don't really not what.
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: A funnel does at all, just make it.
• 42:17
  Speaker 7: Easier to pour something.
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: I feel like you never cooked the day in your
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: life with so so.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: Imagine so so what I'm what you'd just trying to say.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Imagine you had to filter things, but you were only
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: given a funnel. Does that make sense?
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: That's really that is our job.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: That is our job. We are as to filter shit
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: out and we are only given a funnel. So that
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: is where the comparison is coming from, because we are
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: asked to do quite a lot with not the tools
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: that we have.
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: I guess I'm curious, is it Macy's or is this
• 42:48
  Speaker 6: funnel Macy's?
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: Who owns this?
• 42:50
  Speaker 7: Break?
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: Who makes you? Guys take these awful deals with all
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: of these companies.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: These are wonderful deals with exciting companies.
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: Celsia has paid us five hundred dollars.
• 43:01
  Speaker 7: They waited, you got the.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: Rockheads five hundred dollars?
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: Yes, you got much more.
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: How are you doing?
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: By the way, I.
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: Heard that there was I love your Instagram. I heard
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: you got a boyfriend?
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: Y yeah, I do the hardest launch of a boyfriend
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: I've ever seen on Instagram.
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah.
• 43:27
  Speaker 6: I laid it out for six months, a little bit
• 43:31
  Speaker 6: of his finger every and.
• 43:34
  Speaker 8: That is the hardest launch we have ever heard of
• 43:36
  Speaker 8: just a little bit of a finger daily.
• 43:39
  Speaker 5: And paragraph log.
• 43:42
  Speaker 6: Oh when it was that it was his thumb and
• 43:45
  Speaker 6: not his index finger, that was sexy, sexy.
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: No, I've been doing well. I've been losing the ability
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: to be super flexible.

  Speaker 6: So that's why I've hard pivoted to just making my
• 43:55
  Speaker 6: uh Instagram like more of a personality. But I am
• 43:59
  Speaker 6: still a wrong and I'm still doing the things, but
• 44:02

• 44:05
  Speaker 6: cry for help that like, I have nothing else to
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: post about.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm sorry to hear that this thing we congratulated
• 44:11

• 44:18
  Speaker 6: I'm getting a boyfriend.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: That's huge.
• 44:20
  Speaker 6: My lack of anything to talk about, post or share
• 44:24
  Speaker 6: with the world is a cry.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: Oh great, well, and as your boss, we just want
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: to again congratulate you on getting a boyfriend. Thank you,
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: I know as your boss, as your boss, we're really
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: excited to see that happen.
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: No, it's really exciting. And this is my first parade
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: with a boyfriend.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: So Mark seems like a fantastic guy. The snakes he
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: has are like snakes I've never seen.
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: I know he has. He has at least nine snakes
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: and we have been doing long distance because he lives
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: in Burbank. Meanwhile I'm in Manhattan.
• 44:59
  Speaker 6: So it's it's been hard, hence me hard watching him
• 45:04
  Speaker 6: with one picture of his hand.
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: But I see him when I can. And he's really excited.
• 45:09
  Speaker 6: This year to be like a parade trophy husband because
• 45:13
  Speaker 6: he gets to watch me do the parade. And I've never,
• 45:16
  Speaker 6: like I've only had family watched the parade. This year
• 45:19
  Speaker 6: a love of mine does.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: Is he gonna be in the boyfriend's section during the parade?
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: Fingers crossed, fingers crossed.
• 45:26
  Speaker 5: It's a pretty it's a hard thing to get into.
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I heard this year. It's like we can. It's
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: only like a couple passes there always.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: Well, there's so many high school marching bands, and all
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: of them have such serious boyfriends. Everybody in those bands,
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: and so I will say it's kind of a stinky
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: section to be in. None of them where be O
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: or never know them where the oder and they all
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: have bio. So I would be careful as to put
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: Mark in there. But if he wants to be there,
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: let me know, and I'm absolutely happy to coordinate that.
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: Thank you. I'm so exciting.
• 45:54
  Speaker 6: There's nothing there's nothing quite like having your family and
• 45:58
  Speaker 6: loved ones watch you want break?
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 46:02
  Speaker 8: Absolutely, did you guys get all my male requesting a
• 46:05
  Speaker 8: couple more passes for the girlfriends?
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: We did not.
• 46:09
  Speaker 7: I'm going to need a couple more passes. I've sent
• 46:11
  Speaker 7: you so much mail about this.
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: Well, I do love the girlfriend section is all of
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: dizzy lovers.
• 46:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so we didn't have a girlfriend's section. Women usually
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: weren't interested in supporting their men in these floats and parades,
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: and queer women are brand new to the parade.
• 46:32
  Speaker 7: US general.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: General, aren't we learning so much? We? You know what's funny,
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: Vivi and I started something to promote l g B
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: t Q. We started to our own slack channel.
• 46:48
  Speaker 7: I want to hear this, I want to hear this.
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: We we we channel.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: We have our own slec channels, just me and viv
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: and we It's called hashtag fry Sleigh and we send
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: each other a gay person every each Friday.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: Yes and yes, yes, it's very exciting. The other day
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: I got sent a picture of Tan France, and I
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: responded with a picture of Nathan Lane, and it's been
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: a really exciting way. Every morning I wake up and
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: I Google five gay people and I put them middle listed.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: Little by little, I learned how many there are, you know,
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: being on salary.
• 47:26
  Speaker 7: That's crazy.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, I'm at.
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: The advice of our DEI team and we are following
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: it to a t. But we are very excited and
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: we are trying to implement anything everything into the parade.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: I could say on the balloon side of the michelin
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: Man balloon. We have consulted with RuPaul. His waist will
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: be snatched this year, so we're very excited.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: Yes, and we have also spoken to people. The giant
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: turkey is going to be just like you for real
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: this year, so we're really really hoped about that.
• 48:07
  Speaker 7: Wow, that's gonna look good.
• 48:09
  Speaker 5: That's gonna be really good.
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: It is all for Eustace. We do this all for Eustace.
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: You are our inspiration.
• 48:15
  Speaker 8: Wow, that is so kind, because as you know I
• 48:18
  Speaker 8: have I am turning fifty and I started working for
• 48:21
  Speaker 8: you guys when I was sixteen, so that is I.
• 48:24
  Speaker 7: Don't know, you do the math.
• 48:25
  Speaker 8: So many years of nobody acknowledging me and my sexuality.
• 48:31
  Speaker 8: It certainly is, yes, exactly, and I had them and
• 48:37
  Speaker 8: look look at you guys. All it took was many
• 48:40
  Speaker 8: scandals with my ex partner, who is a woman who
• 48:43
  Speaker 8: does also work for you.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: Yes, and now you have.
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: Your two bosses have their own slack channel that they
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: message each other gay people on and they're.
• 48:53
  Speaker 7: Learning so much.
• 48:54
  Speaker 8: That is teaching them so many things, right, Oh, it
• 48:58
  Speaker 8: certainly is.
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: One of you guys learned names. We've learned names.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: Oh good, I've learned mostly names. Mostly names we've learned,
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: and some names of real housewives we've also learned. Oh
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: my god, yeah, Lisa Barlow. Yeah.
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: It's either it's either of the culture or for the culture. Right,
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: So sometimes we send things that people.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: We alternate fridays. One is off the culture, one is
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: for the culture.
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: That is certainly something we do. It's really good, So
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: should we talk, says. We haven't really unveiled your predominant float.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: We know you're gonna have a hand in all fifty
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: flows this year, but I'm excited to announce what float
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: or what what balloon you're going to be carrying this year.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: It's very thrilling.
• 49:49
  Speaker 8: Yes, yes, you guys did send me all the mock
• 49:52
  Speaker 8: ups of every balloon and this is a new, a
• 49:54
  Speaker 8: new special balloon.
• 49:56
  Speaker 7: For the year. Yes, yes, it is a very special
• 50:00
  Speaker 7: on my birthday.
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: It's a character that was very popular this Yearheim. Yeah. Yeah.
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: The balloon is like it is shaped like a bomb,
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: and we are so excited for it to pop in
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: your hands when we do the confetti.
• 50:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 50:25
  Speaker 8: I did read that in the mach up and it
• 50:26
  Speaker 8: says it may or may not pop in my hands
• 50:29
  Speaker 8: because part of it is that you are going to
• 50:31
  Speaker 8: turn on like a five minute timer and then I
• 50:33
  Speaker 8: am supposed to try to hold down and defuse this
• 50:37
  Speaker 8: large helium balloon.
• 50:39
  Speaker 6: And get ready, guess what's also going on while you're
• 50:41
  Speaker 6: trying to diffuse it.
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: Rockets are coming out. And this year we are not
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: in Santa Claus.
• 50:46
  Speaker 6: We are half Barbie, half Oppenheimer, directly on our bodies
• 50:52
  Speaker 6: and we're doing that.
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: For you stas.
• 50:53
  Speaker 7: That's great.
• 50:54
  Speaker 8: I'm checking the fine print here also, and it says
• 50:56
  Speaker 8: that if I do not disarm and it does in
• 50:58
  Speaker 8: fact explode.
• 50:59
  Speaker 7: It will take out all of the roquettes.
• 51:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yes, I heard that.
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: You guys are trying to bring back hydrogen, right, you
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: guys are trying to bring back hydrogen, kind of like
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: a hydrogen bomb type of thing.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: Yes, we're kind of doing a couple of good things
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: for hydrogen because we're eyeing them for a sponsor next year,
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: so we're trying to let them know that we're here.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: We're down to play ball.
• 51:18
  Speaker 5: Who's your boss?
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: If I told you you wouldn't want to know?
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: Well, since nobody asked, I guess I'll just come out
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: with it. I finally was able to invent that hover
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: car motorcycle that I've been working on all year.
• 51:36
  Speaker 6: Nobody asked, not what this is about, sir.
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: Again, ruining the interview.
• 51:45
  Speaker 5: How is nobody else confused? It's a house boat, a
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: house that can move. I want to know how that
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: address works.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: Okay, you invented a hover car, but you're confused by
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: the houseboat.
• 51:58
  Speaker 5: The logistics of addresses. I didn't invent ah a car.
• 52:01
  Speaker 5: It's a hovercar motorcycle.
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: The address of the hover car.
• 52:04
  Speaker 5: My factory for it, my workshop, A car, car, a motorcycle.
• 52:09
  Speaker 5: Is that where you live?
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: It's not a house of a motorcycle. The address where
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: you park a car is your house.
• 52:14
  Speaker 8: Okay, okay, I have a question for you since you've
• 52:17
  Speaker 8: been asking me some questions. As we know you are
• 52:21
  Speaker 8: a big inventor in the motorcycle space. Sounds lucrative. Why
• 52:25
  Speaker 8: do you take these really weird, bad jobs as a
• 52:28
  Speaker 8: filler here at a Thanksgiving day?
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: Peride?
• 52:30
  Speaker 5: I love Thanksgiving.
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: I think we talked about this last year, but I
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: can't remember what I said, so I'll give it with
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: this answer. I love Thanksgiving. My dad was a soldier
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: and my mom was a mom.
• 52:42
  Speaker 7: This sounds made up.
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: And every time a soldier for who again.
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: Soldier for the the Croatian army, and my mom neutral.
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: I was wondering where that accident.
• 52:59
  Speaker 5: My mom was a mom.
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: Every every Thanksgiving we'd sit down and watch the floats
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: go by, and she would look at me and go,
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: there's your dad, there's your dad. And it didn't make
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: sense and it wasn't my dad, but it reminded me.
• 53:14
  Speaker 5: Every every year I.
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: Watched the floats go by and go, you know what,
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: I just want to be included. I just want to
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: be invited. So that's yeah, that's why I come every year.
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: You know, it reminds me of my family, reminds me
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: of my home.
• 53:26
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 53:28
  Speaker 8: Yeah, wow, I wonder what you said last year, and
• 53:30
  Speaker 8: if it made more sense, it probably made.
• 53:32
  Speaker 5: A lot more sense. Honestly.
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: Well, I can't believe we haven't spoken of this. There
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: is a confirmed job for you. Oh yeah, yeah, so
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: you are filling in as Freddy Fazbearer on the five
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: Nights at freddy Flow.
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, so the last actor was killed by the
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: actual automaton.
• 53:50
  Speaker 5: It like the movie. If you haven't seen it, rush.
• 53:55
  Speaker 6: Boiler spoiler, stop listening.
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: If anybody is listening, don't, don't go see that movie anyway.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: Well, well, no, we love that movie and we love
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: that sponsored Yeah, I know.
• 54:06
  Speaker 5: Sorry, Yes, I'll be playing Freddy Five's bear. Very fun.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: You're gonna be on the five Nights at Freddy's float.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: Jess Hutcherson is going to be playing Hot Cross Buns
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: on steel Pan. So it's gonna be.
• 54:17
  Speaker 4: Really that's absolutely incredible.
• 54:19
  Speaker 5: Nothing to do with the movie.
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: It's a Hot Cross Buns song and five Nights of
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: Freddy's crossover.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: I believe that there was a Sarah Lee uh Post
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: sponsor on that float, was there not?
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: There was for a little bit of the bread, Yeah,
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: of the Sara Lee of the Bread, Yes, totally Sarah,
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: Sarah Lee was involved, but then Saraly actually she moved
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: on over to our bakery themed float, which was actually
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: being sponsored by Sarla Tabla, so that was supposed to
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: be featuring the actual baking gear. And then she was, well,
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: I want to be involved with the bread and they said,
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: we don't really want to be supposed to because Sarily
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: doesn't use our equipment. So Cyrila Tabla left that and
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: we actually moved Sarla Tabla over to the jungle theme quote,
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: which was.
• 55:01
  Speaker 4: Of course just the theme of the jungle.
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just the jungle. The Amazon Jungle is trying to
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: get some people to come check it out again. So
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: so now there's let's hope that goes well.
• 55:10
  Speaker 6: Can I ask I know that I know fingers crossed
• 55:13
  Speaker 6: for them.
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: That I just to say, yeah, that float does not
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: sound like it's going to be culturally sensitive at all.
• 55:19
  Speaker 5: That's gonna be a very interesting float.
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: But very sensitive. It's Michael Bubla on a children's xylophone
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: playing have you have yourself a merry Little Christmas?
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: Is it not? Yes? And he's not singing, he's only
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: playing on a children to.
• 55:34
  Speaker 5: See how that ties into the Amazon Jungle.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, what do you imagine this Michael bubl xylophone jungles
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: in the background, fake animals, and then large pizza sheets
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: and equipment like thermometers, kitchen candy thermometers, and of course
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: those gloves and those little handles that you put on on.
• 55:54
  Speaker 4: You guys think like this, how do you do it?
• 55:57
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: You distraction?
• 55:59
  Speaker 8: Right?
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: You know the Amazon people have very opinions. People have
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: opinions about it. We should be deforesting, we should not
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: be deforesting, both very valid points of view, right, So
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: we want to go right down the middle with Michael
• 56:12

  Speaker 8: everyone when we start the orgy, we can all shape
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 8: our bodies into the shape of a float because there
• 1:02:03
