• 0:02
  Speaker 2: You're listening to a podcast, attending a presentation, or watching
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: a live stream, and after a whole bunch of chatter,
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: the hosts finally get around to the reason for the
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: whole shebang, saying, without further Ado, it happens all the
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: time at almost every event going back to the beginning
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: of recorded history.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: But what happens at the host never.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Actually get to the main attraction. What if the whole
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: thing were just the ado?

  Speaker 1: This is that show? All right, Patrick, we're here, and
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: we've officially reached October, October month of pumpkins, pumpkins and

  Speaker 1: spice and all the things that are nice, bats and
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: cats and cats and rats and all that stuff. October.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: What that means is things are getting a little spooky,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: as if they weren't spooky enough already. Yeah, which they were.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: But some would say there's a prophecy in the air,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: which leads to a few trivia questions I have for you.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Oh a few, Yeah, I got a few, all right,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: what some would call a Baker's dozen minus ten. Okay,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: all right, nobody would call it that. All right, These
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: are about the movies. The prophecy, oh, the Prophecy, The Prophecy. Okay,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: it's just hinting at that. Now I'm gonna just straight
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: up tell you, so number one, how many movies are
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: there in the Prophecy movie series? Let me give your choices.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: You probably want the choices.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, definitely I want the choices on.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: That one because angels are efficient. Three because trilogies are trendy,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: five because Heaven clearly has no editor. Or seven because
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: why not rival Fast and Furious? So one, three, five
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: or seven? How many Prophecy movies?
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't I really don't know, because you know,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: it's one of those things that like remember the old
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: DVD movies where you are like straight to DVD.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Direct to video. Yeah, you see him at Blockbuster and
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: be like where did where did this come from? Yeah?
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: So I want to say that it's a lot, because
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: there's probably so many that I just don't know exist.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: But I I'm going to go out on a limon
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: just say it's a trilogy.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: It's a little more than a trilogy. Okay, so it's
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: like seven, it's a little less than six. Okay, so
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: it's five, it's five.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: This is me all the time. I always go like
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: right way over jump the chart.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well you're just under and you're just over five
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Prophecy movies. That's a lot of prophecying. Yeah. In the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: first Prophecy film, what unsettling truth is revealed about certain angels?
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Is it A? They resent humans for getting a front
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: row seat in Heaven's VIP section. Is it B? They
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: moonlight as morally flexible exorcists for hire? Is it C
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: they're on Earth doing penance by working in customer service,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: or D they've been secretly running organized religion poorly.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: I can't remember this movie. To be honest with you,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna say it's B.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Though they moonlight as morally flexible exorcist for hire. Yeah,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: they're not beetlejuice. No, No, that's not B. Then I
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: would say A. It is A. They resent humans, Yeah,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: for you know, getting to go to Heaven or getting
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: a front row seat in Heaven's VIP section. They don't
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: like that we've been given souls. Angels in the Prophecy
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: kind of jerks with wings.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: I remember that part of what the movie was about,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: but not really what it was about. Do you know
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: what I mean by that? You ever get Yeah?
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, It's one of those movies. I'm like, did I
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: actually see it? Did I see parts of it? Have
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: ever actually like seen a whole Prophecy movie? I don't know. Yeah.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Last question, who leads the rogue angels trying to kickstart
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Heaven's second civil war in the Prophecy? Is it Uriel
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Heaven's angriest hr Rep Gabriel former Messenger, current celestial malcontent,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Raphael Angel of Healing now dealing in soul snatching, or
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Remiel has a clipboard and a grudge.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna say it's Gabriel. It is Gabriel. Yeah, is Gabriel.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: He's super mad.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: He does not like what's going on on Earth. And
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: you might even remember another detail about Gabriel.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Gabriel was Christopher Walkin, correct, he was.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: He was famed actor and one of our favorites. Mister
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Christopher Walking whispering Walkin reading readit you my mouth through? Ye,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I will whisper on Yeah, okay, whispering Walking reading Reddit.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: This is a brand new segment on the show, something
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: we've never really done before. I think the name says
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: a lot about it. Basically, what happens here is we
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: read Reddit posts in our terrible strike that are amazing
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: walk in voices. And though it's called whispering walking, you
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: don't actually need to whisper if you don't want to,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: though you know whispering is sometimes appropriate for a walk
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: in impression. It's true.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: I do want to say, though, up front, that every
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: time I now read this segment title, I always think
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: of walking reading the reading Rainbow Lyrics instead of read it,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: you know, reading Reddit.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Which is essentially what this segment is, right, Yeah, I
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: mean it is.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: And the readings can be pretty terrible because we like
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: to think there's times where we have good walking. We
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: channel walking in a pretty decent way. But I would
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: think that really great impressionists would be like, that's awful,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: you're not doing it justice.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing. I think we have moments of
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: good walking. I don't think we have control over our
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: walk like enough to do paragraphs or sentences. So we'll
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: kind of see what happens here. Maybe it'll make us better,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: maybe it'll make us worse.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: It's practice, if nothing else is just practice, and I
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: think that that's all you can ever ask for in life,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: like we treated it like most things, you know, to
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: become a master.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: What do they say, like ten thousand hours?
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you just every day doing the same voice. By
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: the end of the year a couple of years will
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: be masters at it.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: So how do you want to do this? Do you
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: want to read your own? Do you want to read
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: what the other person has? How do we want to
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: go about this?
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: We could do this time around. We could read our own,
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: and then maybe next time we could read each other's.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I'm going to try that. It's good idea. We'll start
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: off easy, we'll read our own, and then next time, yeah,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: we'll swap, so then you get something unexpected.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: And just as an fyi to the listeners out there,
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: I think we're already saying we want to do this again,
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: so there will be a next time. I think we've
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: just spoiled it that even if it goes horrible, we
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: might still want to do it. The first Reddit thread
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: that I picked was what's your go to never failed joke?
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's a good one.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: One of the comments was the joke that this person
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: had and it's I'm gonna tell you right up front,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: it's not that funny. But I was like, this is worthy.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: I think of.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Walking voice, worthy of walking Maybe Yeah.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: You've heard of Muffy's law, right, I don't know how
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: he would say that. It says that anything can go
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: wrong will go wrong. But have you heard of Cole's law?
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: It's deadly sliced cabbage so bad, I'm I'm not gonna lie,
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: it's I've I'm out of practice.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that might have been one of your worst walkings.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: It was pretty bad, surprising surprise, not that I expected good,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: because again, you know, long strings.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: As we like to say, and if you've listened to
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: any of the other podcasts that we've ever done outside
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: of with further Ado, we've said this a million times.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Walkin says certain words and it's really good.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: If you hit the right one.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but there are words that are just almost impossible
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: to understand how he would say them, because they're just
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: too ordinary, is the way I would put it. So,
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: like it's like a contraction is hard because you don't
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: know would he say that or would he be like,
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: you know something else?
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: But you know, good, good, first try.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: If I practiced that, I could probably do a little
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: bit better.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. I think so it's hard to
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: just go off the cuff and like you don't know
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: what's going to come out? Yeah, let me take a
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: shot here. So this one comes from the subreddits are cats,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: as posted by time for stew How do I clean
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: his past? The sauce pause. He got into this, I think,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: and dip died his paws in the pot. I was
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: soaking because he is a very bad kitty. Now he
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: is orange. Help me.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: View second photo for some insight on his dastardly ways.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: I like the whispering at the end.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: That's nice. It's nice time it brought in the whispering
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: a little bit. It's dastardly ways ways. That's the hardest part.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: I think the whispering walking is the most complex of
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: his intonation and cadence.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: You know, it's a challenge to bring it in.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: It's a good subreddit too, so I thought for my
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: second I pulled from subreddit opinions. The subreddit was opinions
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: on walking commas.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Hmmm.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: I was kind of doing some like searching on like
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: walking right, because I thought, how appropriate would Ebbie see
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: what's out there? And so this person wrote they were
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: asking the opinions on walking commas and they wrote the
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: comment with the commas. So it was really good. Okay,
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: So I was just thinking about grammatical use of these
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: commas and ellipses, and I've come to the conclusion that
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: a lot of pros and novels that I read are
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: almost like this, as if the author watched too many
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Mafia movies or can't understand a long sentence this is
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: it goes on Personally, I.
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: Feel like these commas adepth to the prows and personality
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: of the narrative.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: And a difflicical sentence can't.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: That's really bad.
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: It's like the difference between cheese and Swiss cheese. Those
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: extra holes add something to the flavor and texture, but
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: most importantly it shows thoughts and lifelike narration.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: That's that's all I got. That's it. Oh, that was tough.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: That was tough to get through. Yeah, there was a lot,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: and it started off really good. Yeah, like when you're
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: like commas.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Of these commas, you get little nuggets and those give
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: you false sense of hope that you're going to do
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: better as you go, and then it's suddenly you just
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: drop off the cliff.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's challenging when you got to do a lot
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: mm hmm. The more you have to do, the worse,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: you know, because You're just pulled in all sorts of directions.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: Could you imagine having like a long dial like a
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: monologue or a dialogue in a movie, and do that
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: like to try to hold it for that long?
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: It's just unless you're him. Yeah, it seems impossible. Let
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: me try a more challenging one, both because it's longer
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: and because of how it's written. This is from the subreddit.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Am I overreacting? Here we go? Am I overreacting? If
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I stopped talking to my friend because she bought me
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: a chocolate cake for my birthday? Me eighteen female, stopped
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: talking to my friend twenty female when she bought me
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: a chocolate cake for my birthday that had strawberry on top.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: Mind you, she is a very close friend and she
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: knows I don't like either of those things. And when
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: I couldn't eat the cake because I don't like it,
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: she ate the rest. I came from a different city
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: to celebrate her b day and even wrote her twenty
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: letters for her twentieth B day. Am not saying she
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: should have done that, but at.
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: Least some type of personal gifts at least one letter,
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: but none of that nature.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: Anyways, let me know if I'm overreacting.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: I really lost it in there. I don't even know
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: what kind of voices I was doing. It was like
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: twelve different voices came out there.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: You made my neck tight as you were saying it.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: I was like, I was, I was laughing, but I
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: was also like a little nervous for you, like because
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: I know that feeling like you're like, I think I'm
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: doing something there.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: It felt good. Yeah, I gotta pull it back. I'm
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: really off the rails. I don't know what to do.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: There were words in there that I felt some missed opportunities.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: This is how I feel when I go through I'm like, oh,
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: that was a missed opportunity, like straw battery, right, like
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: he breaks it and when you're reading it together with
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: the sentence, you're just.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Trying to like figure out what the next thing is. Yeah,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: it's a good point.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: It's hard to hold on to the cadence and also
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: pay attention to those individual words that you know he
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: would be like just really soaking up, take a good bite. Yeah,
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: I like those. I like those.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: This is the thing.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: It's an uncomfortable exercise.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: It is, especially the longer it gets, the worse even
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: when you're in the middle of it, you're like, ah, god,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: I am so far off the rails. How do I
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: bring this back in?
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: I hope listeners are feeling like, oh they really, they
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: really opened up.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: They made themselves vulnerable to us. Yeah, you know, vulnerable.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Vulnerable.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: It's not good.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: And that's what you're thinking about that segment, and or
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: at least our impressions.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: But next time it's gonna be so good. Next time. Yeah,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: we're gonna work really hard to master it. Maybe we won't.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: We'll just get too busy and we'll forget, and then
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: next time we'll come around we'll be like, did you
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: practice like now now I didn't, and it'll be.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Like, wow, Amazon price check all.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Right this I love the price check concept for this segment.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Are you sure I do?
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: Ever, since you brought it up, this is a good one.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: You want to tell the listeners what this segment entails.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Since you it was your could this be a segment?
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I will, even though I stole you know, whispering
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: walking from you last time. I explained that one too,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: but I'll do this one as well. Oh yeah, you know,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: either way, it's fine. Yeah, So each person brings just kidding.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I won't do that to you. So each of us
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: brought with us today an Amazon product, a mysterious Amazon
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: product that the other person doesn't know about. It can
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: be something big, can be something small, can be anything.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: We're gonna take turns. The presenter will describe their item
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: in detail, what it is, what it does, any notable features.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: They're gonna share some reviews of the product. But what
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: they're not gonna do is say the price of the product.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: The other person will call them the guesser, will, based
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: on the description, the reviews, all the information they're giving,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: make their best guess of the price of the product.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I should say, you know, the guesser is also not
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: gonna get to see the product. They're just relying solely
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: on what the other person is telling them. Right. The
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: person who comes closer to guessing the price of their
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: product without going over wins the game. There is an
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: actual prize involved. The winner will receive a random prize
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: delivered from Amazon, not a show sponsor, I should say,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: from the other person. The other person is gonna send
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: them something, not the thing described here today, but something else,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: a mystery gift in the mail. At the inclusion of
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: this game.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it should be said that. I guess it could
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: be the thing. I suppose it could be the thing. Yeah,
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: but yeah, it could be the thing. So do you
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: want to go first? Do you want to give the uh?
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let me present my item to you. The name
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: of it is Death Valley Jake the Jackalope Statue. Okay,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: so this is a statue of a jackalope which looks
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: like a kangaroo mixed with a rabbit, kind of mixed
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: with a deer. It's got some antlers also with a
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: leaf covering its dick. Okay, I don't know why, it's
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: just that's what it has. It's hand cast using real
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: crush stone, bonded with high quality designer resin. It's individually
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: hand painted by artisans. Wow, it's perfect for your homer garden.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Let me give you some measurements there. You're probably like,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: how big is this thing? Right? Seven and a half
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: inches wide, twenty two and a half inches high, so
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: not quite two feet high, but almost two feet high,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: and it weighs in at six pounds. Okay, so it's
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: perfect in a lush garden or on a porch or patio,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: which we were just talking about. Your office patio.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a jackalope, though it's Deef Valley.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Jay. Don't listen to just what I say. Let me
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: read you some reviews. Here's what Michael Hunt says, five
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: out of five stars. What a majestic jackalobe. Look at
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: this majestic fellow. My kids asked, what the hell is that?
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: My mother in law hates it. My wife just rolled
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: her eyes. You will love it. Definitely solidly made and packaged.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: I was expecting to be underwhelmed, but this is definitely
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: one magnificent piece of garden art. I still haven't decided
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: where he's going to live, but for right now, he's
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: watching my driveway. Give you another one. Chrissy less enthusiastic,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: three out of five stars. Oh, antlers are smaller than
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: they appear. The antlers are way smaller than all the
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: pictures and reviews show. I'm really disappointed they aren't bigger.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: He's cute. Otherwise, I had plans for his antlers for Christmas,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: and now I'm not going to be able to decorate
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: them like I wanted. Kind of a bummer there for
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: those who like to decorate the antlers. All right, Patrick,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: you have all the information you need. What do you
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: think the price is on Death Valley Jake? The Jacalobe statue?
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: So seventeen by or seven by twenty two?
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, six pounds.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: Six pounds and it's crushed stone, hand painted. It's got
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: a leaf on its wiener.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, don't forget the wiener leaf, you know, stuff like this.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: I'm always a little I'm not exactly sure, but I'm
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: gonna say twenty four ninety five because I want to
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: say it's not going to break twenty so hopefully I'm
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: not going over. But I'm gonna say twenty four ninety
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: five because I think it might warrant that.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know reasonable thinking. Should I tell you the
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: actual retail price now? Or should we do mine, wait
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: till the end and do them together. What are your thoughts?
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Why don't we wait? Why don't I do like a showcase? Showdown? Yeah?
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: All right? So my item is called the Nickoge Custom
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Nicholas Cage pillow Case. It's a standard size twenty x
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: thirty design pillow case. It's fifty percent cotton, fifty percent polyester,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: nice blend, easy cleaning and maintenance. Customize your own style
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: and personality with the nick cooge Nicholas Cage Custom Nicholas
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Cage pillowcase. The pillowcase can make you have comfortable feelings.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: This is actually in the product description. Yeah, but don't
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: take the.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: Product descriptions word for it. Review number one. These are anonymous,
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: but they're five stars. This has to be the best
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: American dollars I've ever spent. Knowing that Nicky Cage was
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: watching over me while I slumbered gave me the feeling
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: of protection, just like a baby cradled in its father's arms.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: I used to suffer from nightmares, but not anymore. Anytime
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: I get frightened in the night, I cling to my
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: Nikki and we sing our little song that makes the
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: terrors go away. But yeah, in the end, it's just
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: a great pillowcase. One hundred out of ten would bite
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: again and recommend to a friend. Wow overwhelmingly positive reviews
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: on this pillowcase, so the review number two five out
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: of five. I feel so protected knowing that Nicholas is
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: in bed with me. This pillowcase is the first thing
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: when I see when I've waken, and the last thing
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: I see before I close my eyes for my deep
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: slumber is your great by the way the purest sexiness
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: of this man's picture on your pillow will inspire you.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Are you having relationship issues, family fights, or a crippling
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: mental illness, Nicholas can ease the pain. Before I got
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: my custom Nicholas Cage pillowcase, I had trouble sleeping. My
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: insomnia took control of my life. I can tell you
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: that when this product was shipped to me, put on
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: my little pillow and used for sleep, that it was
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: the best slumber in my entire life. He cradles my
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: head so softly. I used to be afraid of the dark.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: Not anymore. Don't fall for scams like Sleep Number or
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: temper Pedic. Get a Nicholas Cage pillow cover. Go on,
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: you deserve it. The seduction is calling to you. This
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: is still the review, by the way.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the seduction is calling to you.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: This is now my most prized possession. And although I
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: do not like to admit it, I tend to brag
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: about it. I just want to show it off to
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: the world. I am RESTful, I am relaxed, I am reborn.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Hopefully we'll be able to find me a girlfriend or
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: job someday. I have faith that Nicholas will make it happen.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: So that was a longer review, but gives you a
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: sense of how good this pillowcase is.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, seductive.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: So if you could guess what the price of this
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: pillowcase is.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty confident the retail price of this pillowcase is
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine. Okay, seems like a nineteen ninety nine product. Okay,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: you know that's what I'm paying for that.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's Yeah, it's definitely worth nineteen ninety nine.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: So all right, how did I do you? You were actually
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: a little low, oh, a little low, A little low, okay,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: I mean Death Valley Jake is six pounds made from crush,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: real crushed stone.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: They say that all the time though, and you know,
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: you comes in and you're like, that's not crushed stone.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like, why is it so light? Actual retail
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: price six it's eight seventy seven. Wow, that's way more. Yeah,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: a difference of forty three dollars and eighty two cents.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: That's crazy.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: You don't think it's worth that.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: I I mean, I don't know, I haven't seen it,
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: but I'm going to tell you I didn't think it
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: was going.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: To be worth that.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: I thought twenty five would be a little low maybe
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: at first, and then I was like, well, maybe that's
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: a little too high, because I know some of these
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: things they say it's going to be really expensive or
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: it seems really expensive, but it's not. It must be
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: worth it, all right, So I'm going to give you two.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Numbers, okay.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: And the reason why I'm going to give you two
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: numbers is normally, you know, like normally on Amazon, you know,
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: it's prime, shipping's free. But this product, the shipping is
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: not included in the price of the product. So I
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: pulled the price plus the shipping so that just in case,
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: you know, if you got it right on one side
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: or the other, would you know, we wouldn't include the shipping,
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: for example, if you are over or something like that.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: So either way, the price of the pillow case is
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: four dollars and fifty five cents.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty shocking. I thought so too. I think
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: nineteen ninety nine would be pretty close. The shipping is
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: for sixty four, so the shipping is actually more than
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: the actual pillowcase. So together it's nine dollars and nineteen cents.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: So I am way over on this product. I can't
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: believe it is that cheap.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: I know, it was surprising to me when I found it.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: I was like, well, this is this is clearly the
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: item I'm gonna pick for the show, because how could
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: you not pick the Nicholas Cage pillowcase.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Are you sure it's not made from old garbage? How
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: does it only cost four dollars and fifty cents?
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know, I really don't, And I mean, let
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: me tell you something. It's got four and a half
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: stars out of eight hundred and ten reviews, so it's
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: not like it's junk. You saw how the glowing reviews
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: from these two. It's also a very seductive image of
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: Nicholas Cage with his shirt off.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, that's that is charged.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, So do I immediately win because I didn't go.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Over or yeah, oh yeah, okay, I went over, So
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: I'm like disqualified. So you get it. Even though you're
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: off by forty three dollars and eighty two cents, you
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: are the closest one dollar. That's my that's my jam.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: So you will be receiving a mystery Amazon item. All right,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: watch your mailbox.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: Watch I'm excited. I'm excited to see what comes in
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: the mail from Amazon.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: As you should be as you should be good, A
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: good new game, a new edition fairy price is right.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: My favorite part is I always like the price is right.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: But my favorite part of this has been the reviews
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: so far. Now, yeah, because the remas are kind of funny.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: If you get the right product anyway.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: You might have to do more with the Amazon reviews.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, you never know if we have a segment.
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: Could this be a segment?
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: Could this be a segment? Each episode we come up
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: with new segment topics for future episodes. It could be
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: on the next episode. It could be you know, five
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: from now. We don't know, but we'll talk about it.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: We'll see if it's viable.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Segment yea topic workshop at a little Amazon price check
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: born here, mm hmm, just last episode.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: I think, yeah, whispering walking reading Reddit, I mean that
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: was born here. Yeah? All right, So my pitch is
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: called creative crime scene.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, like the title, So this is.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Where in this segment we would each put a recent
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: marketing camp under the lights, you know, like when you're like,
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: what will you the night of right, like a Detective show.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: The bit though is it's you know, we're like half
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: talking about marketing but half like mocking you know, like
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: this idea of forensics. Right, So this is what I'm
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: possibly thinking where we turned the whole thing into like
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: a fake police blotder, you know, that kind of thing.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: But it would focus on two main things. We would
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: focus on the victim, which is the audience of the
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: marketing campaign and.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: What did the behavior?
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: What did the brand tried to do and like if
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: it was successful, did they murder the victims? Right? And
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: then the motive what kind of behaviors did it take?
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: Was it personal? Was it economical, was it psychological? Was
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: it cultural? You know, like was it a social thing?
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: Like what what did it feed on? So what was
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: their motive? You know for the audience.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Do we get to do like one of us is
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: the good cop, one of us is the bad cop. Oh?
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: We could we could do it could be like listen,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: you can tell me, well you can deal with my partner,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: but trust me, you don't want to deal with them.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: And then I come in just fling the door open.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Like shh, you like you're like, what are you doing?
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Nike?
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: We know you did it?
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Just tell us you did it.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: Nike starts crying.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: That's a good one. I like. I like the bit
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: as you say, yeah, just having fun with it. The
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: police blo.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: You know, you could do that, or we could do
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: like you know, we could do the interview style like
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: we're like good cop, bad cop, like you mentioned. I
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: think it could just be fun.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: There's a probably another version of this too, that's like
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: a trial and somebody's defending and somebody's going after something.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: But I like the idea of doing it for campaign
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: or like you know, ads or campaigns or something like that.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: There's probably you could do it for other things too.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: I think the key to this segment is I think
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: it'd be better if like we just chose one and
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: if you like, to your point, we take sides something
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: like that. That would be fun.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's another another sort of way to do it.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: So I think this one.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: Can move on creative crime scene.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Good title, which, as we know by now, you gotta
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: have a good title to move on.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: When we're laughing at the titles later on, that's usually
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: how it makes it into the the episode, into the show. Yeah,
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: so what do you what do you got on your.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: So mine this time is It's pretty simple. It's called
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: top three or die. I like the title. So the
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: concept here is we share a random top three list.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: So examples would include songs to listen to while picking
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: your nose, top three office items to kill people with.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: These could be determined ahead of time by randomly, you know,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: by AI. They could give us the what the top
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: three is going to be, and then we can each
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: come up with a list, and then we would share
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: our lists, our top threes on this, you know, whatever
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: the topic is. Then here's the kicker. We would each
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: submit our list to chat GPT, to our friend Avery
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: and say whose list is best and who will die?
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: Oh so it just picks randomly who's gonna.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's random. They'd have to say which
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: one of these is better? Okay, and the person who's
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: is not better is the loser and they die.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: So our fate is in the hands of chat GPT.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's determining who's top three is better on whatever topic.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: You know, movies about.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: Monkeys, movies about monkeys.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just giving you you know. They have to
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: be like a challenging, an odd and challenging top three.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: Okay, so top three. So the examples you gave Okay,
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: movies about with monkeys are about monkeys.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: What were the other ones? Songs to listen to while
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: picking your nose? Okay, office items to kill people with?
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: And then those questions are being chosen by chat GPT two.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: I mean we could we could come up with them
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: ourselves if we wanted to, or we could you know,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: contract that out.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but then we're coming up with the list, right, so.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: We're coming up. We have to come with the up
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: with the list ourselves.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I like that. I think that could be fun.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: And then be judged face judgment.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: It's always three things though, or is the list have
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: to be ten?
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: It's always three things? Okay, hence the title top three
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: or Die. I like it.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: And are we just out of curiosity, like the list
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: we're picking or we're making our list from the same thing?
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, we're competing against each other for the
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: same like who has the better list?
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: I like it. I think it's just say that's a
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: good one. So that is segment Top three or Die.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: It sounds so serious what you say, hop three or die?
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: They're so serious all the time, these guys are intense.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Why did they want to die? Why did they play
