Starting point is 00:00:00 Skypains, out of here. Hey, Daddies. Welcome to a Friday episode of Dumb People Town. Population you. Population miles. Yes. Youulation you. Population Miles. Yes. You got it. Yes. You got it.
Starting point is 00:00:49 A.D. Miles, how are you, buddy? Welcome. I'm doing very well. I'm happy to be back in Dumb People Town. How about in the studio hanging with friends? I'm still not over this yet, the ability to make eye contact. It's an excuse to hang out. It's an excuse to be in the same room exchanging breaths.
Starting point is 00:01:04 It's an excuse for me to pull up on you on your Honda Odyssey and feel so power. It's the Honda Odyssey Elite. Elite. Elite. I sprang for the top notch. It is an elite vehicle. For people who, you have a fantastic Twitter, and you write very, very funny things on your Twitter and some people probably know you through that. I was saying that I just heard your voice on Hoops,
Starting point is 00:01:28 the Netflix show, and you were fantastic as a seven-foot-tall kid who they were trying to encourage to play on the basketball team. The only way I'll ever get on the basketball court is through an animated avatar. But I just love that it was seven-foot-tall kid, long hair, trench coat, not the guy you think.
Starting point is 00:01:43 But I was listening to you, and as I said before, before the show, I was listening, I'm like, God, this guy's doing coat, not the guy you think. But I was listening to him, and as I said before, before the show, I was listening, I'm like, God, this guy's doing so, I love this voice. I love it so much. Who is it? It's so familiar. And then I went on IMDb, and I was like,
Starting point is 00:01:53 oh, shit, it's 80 Miles. That's my friend. I love this so much. So from that, and you're just a phenomenal writer, wrote for many years on The Tonight Show. And did you run that show? You ran that show. I was the head writer, so I ran the writing department on that show.
Starting point is 00:02:09 Ran the writer's room for years. 1,500 eps. Wow. You understand this show and what this show is kind of what we really have learned now that we've been in a writer's room. We call it the writer's room before you have to get down to work. Did you hear about the...
Starting point is 00:02:24 Eventually you in this scenario would go, okay guys you have to get down to work. Somebody's like, did you hear about the... Did you see the... Eventually, you, in this scenario, would go, okay, guys, we got to get back to work. You sit down, you spitball a little bit, you talk about this, that, and the other, and then you get... Okay. We got to get back. So that we say at the end of every episode of this show, we say, oh shit, we got to get back to work.
Starting point is 00:02:38 So this is the room before the room becomes the room. I love it. And we get dumb stories sent to us, as you've done before. We're on the show. We've got a doozy of one today. Daniel, let's jump into it. Yeah, we're ready to do this. Can I also point out the fact we're all little variants of Jay Leno in our clothing today?
Starting point is 00:02:54 We're the blues crew. We've got a little bit of a denim thing going on. Why do you think we're a little bit like Jay Leno? Mine's technically chambray. That's very true. You don't think I drove in here on a recumbent car? Is that what it was? I drove the steam-powered Duesenberg.
Starting point is 00:03:09 I remember when I saw his Duesenberg on some TV show. I've also seen him drive it twice. He showed you. Is it steam-powered? He does have a steam power. He's got every magic on the car. I will say one thing about Jake. The Duesenberg is insane.
Starting point is 00:03:18 My dad's a car fanatic. Sure. I knew him from he would come on The Tonight Show. Sure. So my dad came out to LA, and I emailed him. I said, listen, I'm sure you get this a lot. Say no if you don't want to, but I'd love to bring my dad out to check out your cars. Within 10 minutes. No problem.
Starting point is 00:03:33 I'll set it up. Bring your dad out. We'll have a guy show him every single car. And he's got like 300 cars. The only thing that a car guy loves more than cars is to show people about his cars. Another guy who loves cars. But he didn't show the cars he had a guy who she had a guy he was on tour but he arranged for his garage manager that's
Starting point is 00:03:51 nice who by the way was not like yeah yeah come on take out here's this this and this he was like every single car now this one we got in 1978 he hasn't been talked to in years yeah they had to break glass on that guy. Break the glass on the garage guy and get him out of it. Get him out of the tube. Tell me, I'm ready. But for real, have either of you ever seen a Duesenberg? I mean, if you get past
Starting point is 00:04:15 the whole Nazi vibe of it, they're huge. I mean, they're enormous. Is that where Doozy came from? That's a real doozy. That's what I said about this show wait a second maybe it is
Starting point is 00:04:29 it has to be because a Duesenberg is a giant car that's a doozy wait I won't I feel like you're right don't ever look it up Dan I'm looking it up
Starting point is 00:04:37 let it stay in our hearts why it's dumb people down I'm gonna say he's right no matter what I find because I'm the only one looking at my phone I want the guy who showed the cars around to be the voiceover for the very first film that you did which made it into our um
Starting point is 00:04:51 our apartment to that show yeah which was like the the i want the person ray has sex yeah the ray has sex but i want it to be that guy hey this is ray this Ray. This is a 1927 Duesenberg. That is the type of voice you want showing you a car. And don't touch that. Are you guys ready? Yeah, let's jump in. Yeah, let's hear the story. Let's do this wonderful mini story today. The story is not mini, though.
Starting point is 00:05:14 It's sent in by VaxxedBetman at MaxBetman. M-A-X-B-E-T-M-A-N. Is MaxBetman, is he the guy on ESPN? Webster's, by the way, before I get into it, suggests that that's a doozy is derivative of daisy and began. Okay. A doozy is something extraordinary and one of a kind. The Duesenberg automobile. Yes.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Gave the word a boost. These musicals weren't. Oh, so it was a thing before that and then the doozy was like, here's a doozy. I don't know. A little vocabulary boost. Okay. Okay. Okay. Headline.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Sent in by Max Bettman, at Max Bettman. Hashtag dumb people town, at Daniel Van Kirk. That's how it works. Lobster diver swallowed by humpback whale. Oh, my God. I remember seeing this. You saw this story? This blew up big time.
Starting point is 00:06:03 I mean, why wouldn't it? You've got a whole like Geppetto, Pinocchio. Yes. Jonah and the whale. Was it Pinocchio? Pinocchio. Remember? Maestro?
Starting point is 00:06:12 What's the whale's name at the end that swallows them whole and they have to start a story? Jonah's the story from the Bebop. Jonah is the Bible. Yes. Bible. Sorry. Pinocchio. Did you call it the Bebop?
Starting point is 00:06:20 I said the Bebop. The Bebop. You don't remember in Pinocchio that they get swallowed by a whale? Are you guys crazy? I don't remember that. They start a fire and it makes the whale start to sneeze and then it shoots Geppetto and Pinocchio out. Remember he ties a weight to his tail?
Starting point is 00:06:36 Lazy writing if you ask me. Dan, I can't tell if you're making this up. Plagiarizing from the Bible? He's walking around on the bottom of the ocean yelling Geppetto, Geppetto bottom of the ocean doing Transistor Radio. He's listening to Transistor Radio. You are nuts. You're going to tell me you don't remember where they all go to that island for Misfit Boys and then they turn into donkeys?
Starting point is 00:06:54 Dan, stop. Dan, you're making shit up. Dan, you're making everything. Now I feel like you guys are doing it. Look that up while you're at it. Pinocchio. It's a real daisy, Dan. That's Lord of the Flies, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:07:06 Yeah. And Peter Pan. You remember the fox who runs everything and invites all these boys and they can do whatever they want, but then they get so excited and they're so bad they turn into donkeys? What? In Pinocchio. Are you talking about Danny? None of you guys seem to put the Disney in Pinocchio.
Starting point is 00:07:21 I don't know what you're... When does he start talking to the volleyball? That's a totally different movie. That's Forrest Gump. Okay. That's Philadelphia. I want to hear this story. Because I saw a headline of this, and I didn't want to look at it because I was like...
Starting point is 00:07:37 I saw a little video of the guy being interviewed afterwards, but I don't know the story. Covered in mucus. Yeah. Michael Packard. Oh, God. Michael Packard has a whale of a tale to tell.
Starting point is 00:07:48 He survived being in a humpback whale's mouth early Friday morning. Could you imagine? Should happen on a Wednesday. A humpback day. Humpback day. Unbelievable. They missed it. They could have eaten. The lobster diver jumped from his boat
Starting point is 00:08:03 off the coast of Provincetown, Massachusetts, to check one of his traps. Packard was 45 feet below the ocean's surface. What are you doing down there? You're going to get eaten by a whale. 45 feet. Even with, what is the average? Yes, it's scuba gear.
Starting point is 00:08:19 Well, the deepest diving tank in the world is 60 meters. That's 185. Okay. Yeah, but still, there's a moment where I'm like, you're down there and it's like, from like eight feet, I'd be like, yeah, they look good. I have an idea. I gotta get right up in there.
Starting point is 00:08:33 Is it attached to anything? Why don't you pull it up to the surface, bro? Do any of you have any idea of the deepest you've ever... I'm gonna go check my fishing hooks. I'm gonna dive down there and see if there's one of these fishing hooks. I'm gonna reel it in like some lazy person. I'm gonna to fish in hooks. I'm going to dive down there and see if he's biting on one of these fish in hooks. I'm going to reel it in like some lazy person. I'm going to dive down there and put my eyeball on it.
Starting point is 00:08:50 I'm going to put it in the fish's mouth. I'm going to taunt him with it. Yeah. What's the deepest? Jiggle it. What's the deepest I've ever been? I think when I- Just free dove.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Free dove. So when I was off the coast of Australia on the Great Barrier Reef, I wouldn't scuba dive, but I had a snorkel and I went down probably about 15 feet and then I had to come back. I went about 15 feet up at the cabin a couple weekends ago and it was hard. And I remember being a child at Spring Lake Pool. I was trying to say the pool at the Y is fluffy. So it's 13 feet at Spring Lake and Rochelle and I remember being a kid swimming down to the bottom and like just sitting there and like having like I could
Starting point is 00:09:29 hold my breath and sit down at the bottom and the pressure didn't get to me at all and then you over time I was like there's no bullies or girls down there it's just me and my time me and Draney just talking to each other I would go down at the bottom At the JCC pool 13 feet down at the bottom of JCCA And I would check my fishing hooks And I would just try You don't want to catch anything in there No I'm going to look up Pinocchio
Starting point is 00:09:54 Do it I don't believe Nobody remembers this No At Disneyland when you finish the ride You come out through a whale's mouth You just thought that was weird? I never went to Disneyland
Starting point is 00:10:04 I never even went on the Pinocchio I never went to Disneyland I never even went on the Pinocchio I only went to Disneyland once and I was 13 this is great because I have a much younger sister and there happened to be
Starting point is 00:10:12 this is horrible for a 13 year old who looks like he's 9 there was a cheerleading convention so it was packed with wall to wall cheerleading squads
Starting point is 00:10:22 beautiful girls in cheerleading outfits and I was like this is the worst make it miserable i'm telling you why is miles so moody today why is miles bending over yeah why why is he holding a stuffed animal in front of his i just like it okay i just love it screaming at their phones right now that you guys don't know the pinocchio and you know what those tony's i see you and i feel you i want you to be screaming at their phones right now that you guys don't know the Pinocchio. And you know what? Toast Toneys, I see you and I feel you.
Starting point is 00:10:46 I want you to be screaming at your phones. Just all you type in is Pinocchio turns into donkeys. You'll see the scene. You'll see. Okay. Packard, 45 feet below the ocean's surface, when he suddenly felt a huge bump and everything went dark, he told Boston-based CBS affiliate Wbub from behind wbzz uh wbz sorry at first packard said he feared he was the victim of a shark attack but after noticing a lack of sharp teeth that's
Starting point is 00:11:14 taking inventory dude that is like okay i'm in something are there teeth here yeah and he did not feel any you gotta do an oral inspection You do. To figure out what has eaten you. But the mouth closed on him. Yes. So he's now in the mouth of the beast. Literally. Wow. I got some bones to pick.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Yeah, please. I got some teeth. After noticing the lack of sharp teeth, he realized he was in the mouth of a whale that he believes was trying to swallow him. Oh, yeah. All of a sudden, I felt this huge shove, and the next thing I knew, it was completely black. I thought to myself, there's no way I'm getting out of here.
Starting point is 00:11:52 Of course not. I'm done. I'm dead. Yeah. All I could think of was my boys, 12 and 15 years old. So I would say don't. Weird names. Pull up.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Also, like, is that how old they are now or the last time you spoke to them? My boy's 12 and my boy's 15. How old are they? 18 and 20. They're 64. But I told you guys about two of the craziest names I've ever known. They'll go into their names. Ada Mae.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Ada Mae. Ada Mae, because she was born on the 8th of May. Ada Mae. And 9 of June. 9 of June. Yes. I love it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:22 9 of June and 8 of May. Way to remember. Yeah, right? Okay, so he's in. It works. He's in. Yes. I love it. Yeah. Nine of June and eight of May. Way to remember. Yeah, right? Okay, so he's in. It works. All he thinks about is his kids. Honest to God. I would have been snuggling up to that time. If you're in a whale, are you thinking about your kids? No. If I'm in a whale. I mean, how would you know?
Starting point is 00:12:38 I mean, at the point when you're like, I'm dead, once you go down into his colon, I guess, then you're... No, that's the thing. He's not in his... He's just in the mouth. No, he's not getting- And he's trying to swallow him. It's trying to swallow him down. Packard.
Starting point is 00:12:50 Did he yell for kelp? Who is still breathing through his regulator. Stop, stop, stop. Don't you dare. Sklar Brothers, thumbs down. Seriously, stop. He struggled to get free. That apparently caused the whale to shake its head.
Starting point is 00:13:00 So he's still- Isn't there a Jaws where somebody's in the mouth and still alive? Oh. I think it was Pinocchio that was in Jaws. You're wrong. I'm looking it up. You haven't found it yet? No, no, because I'm engaged in this conversation.
Starting point is 00:13:15 It's fine. Look it up. We're going to take a break in a second. You can look it up there. Okay. All right. Okay. I'm going to ask you guys.
Starting point is 00:13:21 How long? By his estimation. Okay. How many seconds was Packard in the whale's mouth so what did it feel like to him so i'm already out because if it's seconds already i'm just like who cares man okay yeah you switched around in a whale by the way there is i looked it up pinocchio and lampwick what's that i don't even know who Lampwick is. That's Beauty and the Beast. Transformed into donkeys. Yes.
Starting point is 00:13:47 Dan, you're right. Of course I'm right. It exists. All right. If I could have made that up, I would have kept it to myself. Dan, I'll give it to you. All right. The next one is Lampwick and Pinocchio blow each other.
Starting point is 00:13:58 What? What? So I don't remember any of this. Yeah. Those are very bad costumes. I want to be a boy. There's only one way. He lit the wick tonight.
Starting point is 00:14:08 All right, so that's not the only thing growing on Pinocchio. Okay. How many seconds would you say he says he was in a whale's mouth? I'm going to say a disappointing four seconds. Four seconds? I say 20. 20 seconds, Jason Sklar? I'm going to say like 60 seconds.
Starting point is 00:14:24 60 seconds. Then you'd say a minute. No, Jason Sklar? I'm going to say like 60 seconds. 60 seconds. Didn't you say a minute? No, because he wants it to sound like more. One minute is nothing but 60 seconds. I was in there for at least 50 or 60. It's like when people were like, it was worth half a million. And you're like, still half. It's just halfway to a million.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Right. Big difference. It's worth a quarter of a million dollars. Just over half a million. Yeah, right? That's a hundredth of a million dollars. We're going to take a quick break. When we come back, we'll find out how long he says he was in it.
Starting point is 00:14:51 And everybody can use this time to write a tweet to the Sklars saying, how do you not remember? And 80 miles. The break will be exactly as long as he was in the mouth. Start your timers now. Okay. We'll be right back. Stick around.
Starting point is 00:15:06 Make a sound. There's more Don't People Town. Hey, guys. Welcome back to the show. A couple things to mention. Jay and I have a Patreon where we're doing

If you know anything about us, we put 80 miles in everything we do. And I'm back again. What were you doing for the outdoor challenge? Manny Trillo, he was like this guy who was trying to make our show more radical.
Starting point is 00:15:56 More radical. Yes. Dope guys don't be sadical. Time to get radical. A dad joke before I was a dad. If I remember, Seacrest was selling that hard. Seacrest was the guy. Manny Trillo, which Manny Trio was a second shortstop
Starting point is 00:16:15 or second baseman for the Phillies in the late 70s. Oh, God, of course he was. So Manny Trillo, it just was so. The person with the least sports knowledge of anyone on the planet. But we made it a character that you could play. Anyway, at any rate, we have a...

Starting point is 00:17:40 I was like, I feel like I lost track. Oh, you got to keep watching. TikTok, I'm way into it. I found a new thing on TikTok that I love more than anything in the world. What is it? And we're gonna try to get this guy on our podcast.
Starting point is 00:17:50 It's called Wolf... What I... Wolf on Golf or something? Wolf on Golf. This dude... Wolf of Golf. Wolf of Golf. We said he should be
Starting point is 00:18:00 Wolf of Golf Street. He missed an opportunity. Yeah. But he said Wolf of Golf and you send missed an opportunity. But he said Wolf of Golf and you send your swing into him and he breaks it down but then he'll also just talk for a while over these people's shitty swings
Starting point is 00:18:12 and he'll just talk about philosophies on golf and life. And the guy's actually, for a regular human being, super funny. Super funny and helpful. Helpful. I'm watching all these people's mistakes
Starting point is 00:18:23 and I'm like, what do I do? Then I'm like, I want to send my swing into this cat. What a great account. It's a brilliant account. It's so simple. It's so funny. So specific. It's so specific.
Starting point is 00:18:31 I love it. 80 miles on Instagram and on Twitter. A great follow. You are so funny. Go back and watch him in Wet Hot American Summer. He's freaking brilliant in that. He has to hold it together while those guys are- Chris Maloney is yelling in my ear.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Dude, how you didn't break how there is a single take where you just held it together that made it to the miraculous. Alright, so when we left, Dan, we had a guy swallowed by a whale. We were embarrassed to not know that Pinocchio was actually swallowed
Starting point is 00:19:01 by a whale and then turned into a donkey. So this guy did not turn into a donkey and we tried tried to figure out how long he said he was in. You said four seconds because you were unimpressed. I said 60. I said 20. Okay. Within up to 40 seconds, he said the animal surfaced and ejected Packard from its mouth. Ejaculated.
Starting point is 00:19:24 Ejaculated at me. So the whale was like, I want you inside of me, and then he ejaculated. I think 40 seconds is a long time. Dude, 40 seconds is so long. 40 seconds is a long time. You've got time to process your mortality. Definitely, you're going to get to the kids eventually. That's how you get to the kids.
Starting point is 00:19:43 You've got enough time. You might even start to get a little hungry. But people always think like anytime anything like wild or insane or exhilarating is happening, it feels like, yes, like you even get kids do this. Like go down a slide. It's like two seconds. But that was so much fun. I was up there for a minute.
Starting point is 00:19:58 We're not up there for a minute. Right. It's time slicing. 40 seconds inside a whale's mouth is a long time. So speaking of- 40 more seconds than I've ever been inside a whale's mouth is a long time. 40 more seconds than I've ever been inside a whale's mouth. That's right. Same here. Speaking of time around water,
Starting point is 00:20:11 have you ever jumped off a very high platform or a cliff? I jumped off a 30, 35-foot cliff into a river when we went river rafting. How long ago was this? This was like four years ago. That's impressive. I had on a a life jacket so I didn't go down all the way, which was very helpful. I'd be worried I'd dislocate my shoulder. No, no, no. You just kind of hold on to it and you're good. Keep those legs
Starting point is 00:20:34 together. I jumped off that thing and I'm telling you it felt like I was in the air for so long. You had time to think about it. I probably was in the air for like three seconds. Four seconds. Five maybe at the most. But I felt like I about it. Right. I probably was in the air for like three seconds. Right. Four seconds. Right. Five maybe at the most. But I felt like I was up there forever.
Starting point is 00:20:47 So 40, if you multiply that times eight or nine. Right. Or ten. That is crazy. That's enough time to be like, is this my new life? Am I a whale mouth guy? I live here now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Yes. Should I get my mail delivered here? God, I'd be so scared. Oh my God. Dude, 40 seconds in a whale's mouth i know now you know it's gotta be pitch black you might imagine yes it has to be right where there's the lighting's not good in there no i mean it never is and if there were a light in there you'd be like what the hell have you have you seen the commercials for the new garage like three-pronged light that
Starting point is 00:21:20 they're like it's like it's like a new infomercial of like uh it opens like a flower or like the light does or like a woman's sexuality it opens up or a man and it opens up and then it and then it just yeah or demogorgon's face and then it just shines the brightest light ever on every like everywhere it's like and your garage in your garage or in your basement it's sensor based it's not sensor you turn and it just comes down. But it is like, I'm like, do we need all this? It's like the military grade flashlight that your car can drive over. You definitely don't need that.
Starting point is 00:21:53 You don't need this. We do not need this. So there was no light. I wish he had one of those. Oh my God. Imagine what that would look like. So you should always have, so okay. A little mag light.
Starting point is 00:22:03 Right. He should have had like an underwater mag light so he could underwater mag lights we could look especially going 45 feet under the surface packard's gotta be dark down there anyway you're right he has to have a flashlight he's looking at his trap he's doing packard packard shipmates rather josiah mayo says he saw says he saw packard being expelled from the whale and fished him out of the water. My first thought was, I can't believe I got out of that situation. My second thought was for how injured I was, Packard told the Cape Cod Times. Packard?
Starting point is 00:22:36 Dude, you're not going to believe how injured I was. Dude, you're fucking injured. Do you think the Cape Cod Times are written phonetically? Yeah. Dude, get a load of this shit. You're not going to believe it. This guy in a whale's mouth. Packard dude. Get a load of this shit. You're not gonna believe it. This guy in a fucking whale's mouth. And there's just-
Starting point is 00:22:47 Packer didn't get himself out of that situation. No, he was too- The whale got him. That's like saying I got myself out of a traffic accident. That's right. Wait, but I do think
Starting point is 00:22:56 that newspapers in the Northeast should be allowed to swear. Yeah. And they should be written in the most colloquial way ever. Dude, dude, let me tell you about this. This fucking guy who died. Shot out of a fucking whale's way ever. Dude, dude, let me tell you about this fucking guy who died. Dude, you know, let me tell you, that's the obituaries.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Let me tell you about this fucking guy who died. You're not going to believe this fucking guy's life. He now walks around thinking he's better than everybody. Okay, Packard. And his wife's wicked hot, so go over there and check her out. Packard was taken to the local hospital, but his injuries turned out to be less severe than he first thought, just a lot of soft tissue damage.
Starting point is 00:23:28 Does that mean bruising? Oh, my God. Who says that? Just say he got some bumps and bruises. It's like when a kid learns the word. Soft tissue damage. I had mildly infarcted tissue. It's like when a kid learns the word contusion.
Starting point is 00:23:42 I think I have a contusion. I've got a tracheal occlusion. Sorry, I'm choking. Yeah, exactly. It always sounds worse with the real talk. Marine mammal expert Peter Corcoran. Yeah, he was like, I got a quote for you. Of the Wingland Aquarium told the Boston Herald that whales, like the one that Packard says he encountered, don't actually eat people.
Starting point is 00:24:02 They are gulp feeders that slurp as much as they can and then swallow it down. Right. Corcoran suspects that the whale was just trying to get fish and had no intention of turning Packard into breakfast. Right. I would agree. Right. Yeah. He also said they don't eat meat. Well, they do. They eat fish. They plant it. They don't
Starting point is 00:24:19 bite. They don't swallow it and then it breaks it down. Yeah. It's like the equivalent of us choking on a chicken bone. Yes. You didn't mean to get it in there. Although Jay Lorette, Rochelle Illinois would eat the chicken bones. That's a fucking baby wheel, Jay.
Starting point is 00:24:36 Look at that wheel, Jay. He got eaten by a wheel, Jay. There's evidence suggesting that humpbacks can be altruistic towards humans which may be why the creature swam to the surface before spitting Packard out. Wow. I got to get this guy to the surface. It's perfectly believable.
Starting point is 00:24:52 I can spit him out down here. Dude, I got you. He might have some soft tissue. I got you, dude. The humpback whale has a boss. Dude, I got you. Dude, I got to get this guy to the surface. He's all bruised.
Starting point is 00:25:01 The soft tissue damage. I can't leave him down here. Bro, let me get to the fucking surface And I'll throw you out I'll spit him out When I get to the top Hold on to my tongue I'm gonna get you to the surface

Table for two and one person who got eaten by a whale. That's three. You guys talking about the plot lines in Pinocchio? Guess what?
