Frankly, I don't think you have it in you. Prove me wrong and sit back and enjoy the show. Hello from the Magic Tavern! A weekly podcast from the magical land of Foon. I'm your host Arnie Niekamp, the greatest warrior in all of Foon. If you've never listened to podcasts before, hello stranger.
Starting point is 00:02:19 Don't worry, I'll keep you safe. Here's everything you need to know. Nine years ago, or almost nine years ago, here. Here's everything you need to know. Nine years ago, or almost nine years ago, here's the only thing you need to know is I'm bad at math. A little over eight and a half years ago, I fell through a dimensional portal behind a Burger King in Chicago into the magical, fantastical land of food.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Luckily, I'm still getting a wifi signal from the Burger King. Well, wait, wait no actually that's not true either because apparently we've been notified recently that the Burger King is closed and I've been notified via Twitter within the last week that an actual demolition order has been approved. So what I'm saying is, if at some point the podcast just stops coming, we know why. But for whatever reason, right now, we are still getting some kind of Wi-Fi signal
Starting point is 00:03:15 through the dimensional Rift that I used to upload a podcast recorded here in the Tavern, the strange familiar, where we all are now in the magical land of Foon and I am joined as always by my co-host Chunt the Talking Badger! Oh yeah baby! Oh, yeah, baby. How you doing, buddy? Good.
Starting point is 00:03:51 How's my work wife? Do you consider me your work wife? I think so. And we're at work. This is work, right? It feels like work. That's just the kind of thing a wife likes to hear. No, honey! No, sweetie, please!
Starting point is 00:04:10 I'm sorry dinner's cold. You know last night when I came home late and you were sitting on the steps swirling a glass of wine and dinner was cold? Yes. Swirling a glass of wine. It's pretty impressive. Arnie, did you notice things seem a little weird. The tavern seems bigger than usual. It feels like we have a food moon. Oh, a food moon. Is that when the moon is slightly out of focus? Yes, exactly. It's very, you can almost touch
Starting point is 00:04:42 it. Do you think I could grab that? Or do you think I could grab the moon? Yeah. How much do you want to bet? Five coins. Whatever currency we use. Okay, let's see here. All right. All right.
Starting point is 00:04:58 Let's get, can you get the Tavern Locals hyped? Okay. Sean, before you run, I need to, there may be something wrong. When you jump, the top half of your head leaps up higher than the rest of your head. Yeah. No, I'm shifting to make me more aerodynamic. Okay. Also, how much do you think the night sky costs? Cause I don't want to break the sky. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:33 I don't want to break the night sky. Yeah, I won't touch it. Okay, good, good work. Yeah, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna fucking touch that. That's too high. But it is a moon, Arnie. Yeah. And moon moons can cause some pretty weird shit to go down.
Starting point is 00:05:46 OK, like? Oh, boy. Well, I have your phone here. And if people were to email me at chuntwith6t's at gmail.com with questions, some of those emails may not go through. Because of the food moon. Because of the food moon, Arnie. The food moon. So what you're moon, Ernie. The food moon.
Starting point is 00:06:06 What you're saying is if at any point tonight, if something doesn't pay off, it's probably the food moon. It's the food moon. Ernie, listen to me. I'm out of breath. That's probably because it's a food moon and no other reason. Chunt, we got up off of our stools and walked over there. That's the most action we've had in months. Well, I've had sex. Oh. Well, are you open to follow up questions?
Starting point is 00:06:37 Yeah, absolutely. Ask away. You said it was an oyster. It was an oyster. Okay. Yeah. I don't even know what questions to ask. So do you like, just, I feel like any question I ask is going to reflect poorly on me. Do you, do you, do you, just kind of lay it on top? Arnie, food moon. Food moon. Food moon's affecting you. Yeah. Did you say what?
Starting point is 00:07:04 Does the oyster lay on top? No, do you just like dip, I don't know what. Food moon. Food moon. Food moon's affecting you. Yeah. Did you say what? Does the oyster lay on top? No, do you just like dip? I don't know what. Uh, dip the tip? Yeah, Arnie. Okay. If you go to an oyster's bed, you dip the tip.
Starting point is 00:07:17 Okay. Yeah. A little lemon. A little lemon. Mm-hmm. Yeah. It stings at first, but you get used to it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's just a little different. Yeah. Yeah, and then you You just get a little mmm, that's briny. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
Starting point is 00:07:39 Okay But you know what, speaking of, you know there is someone who we could ask about their sex life. Oh, yeah. Our other co-host, do you know, sometimes it's easy to forget, it's not just the two of us.
Starting point is 00:07:55 What? I know. Who, Mundle the Grundle? Well, okay, here's the thing, it's not just the three of us. So let's bring out here, okay, here's the thing, it's not just the three of us. So let's bring out here our other good buddy who we love, even though we sometimes forget he exists. I want to say Titanic Tony. Titanic Tony!
Starting point is 00:08:19 Now, ladies and gentlemen, Yusador the Blue! Yusador! Wizard of the Telflale, Moabitius! Master of light and shadow! Manipulator of magical delights! Devourer of chaos! Champion of the great halls of Tarrakis! Known to the elves as Fianyalech! Known to the dwarves as Zonan and Hoogstanges! Shut up! Yaluk, known to the dwarves as Zodan and Hoogstanges, shut up, and known throughout the northeast as Gasmanius Maestah, and lo, though I have many secret names, there is only one I can utter aloud that will cause me to freeze time, appear on the moon, and then reappear here and unfreeze time and that name is...
Starting point is 00:09:08 Why did you think you knew it? That person was so confident. Well now I'm not going to do it. Oh. Lunar Cheesius! And I'm back. Yeah? Yeah?
Starting point is 00:09:32 You know how it's a moon and everything? Yeah, I've heard. Don't make it obvious you're looking, but what the fuck is that? I know. Usador, Usador, Usador, Usador. Don't, don't make it obvious you're looking, but what the fuck is that? What the fuck is that?
Starting point is 00:09:54 I think it's just the food moon, personally. Yeah, yeah. Looks like fish head, human body. It's giving me a thumbs up. Oh. It's giving me two thumbs up. How often can you say a fish has given you a thumbs up. Oh. It's giving me two thumbs up. How often can you say a fish has given you a thumbs up? And to be clear, you just had sex with an oyster.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Yeah, yeah, not often. I'll say that. Congratulations. Yusudora, how's your sex life? Oh, delicious. Very good, very good. Doing all the things that you do. Oh. Now famously you and Jen Levia turn yourselves into food and then feast upon one another?
Starting point is 00:10:31 Well, I'd say there's more to it than that. There's mutual respect, there's admiration, there's a commitment. And then we transform ourselves into a giant rack of ribs, and each of those racks of ribs sits there stoically, waiting for something to happen because ribs cannot move. And then I transform mine self into a giant bat, and the bat eats the ribs, and then the ribs are defecated from me, and we turn back into ourselves and are satiated.
Starting point is 00:11:05 Did you put a Z in satiated? Satiated? Arnie! Moon moon! Also, I sometimes forget, I don't think wizards really understand what sex is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's that now? Huh?
Starting point is 00:11:22 Nothing! Just, uh, I was just saying you're probably really good at sex and it always makes sense. Very good, very good at it. Yes, all of the things that get bigger and all the things that get smaller. Yeah, I also don't think he knows what sex is because he says he's always got blue balls. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:43 Okay. Yeah, yeah, okay, checks out. He was right. He was telling the truth. He was telling the truth. If you doubt my wizardly prowess, then let me do this. Eroth, tron, karoth, eroth, troth, aaaah, a bird! What you use or was there a dead bird in your robe a dead bird in your wizard's sleeve not a euphemism it wasn't always dead did it did it go in dead? I'm going to say no.
Starting point is 00:12:27 I won't. Arnie? I wasn't going to say anything. I'm going to say no. It was probably alive when it was in there, but I'm sure I can conjure a live bird. Okay. Here. Just give me a little bit.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Yep. They could be sleeping. They could be sleeping. Looks pretty dead. Ah! Just give me a little bit. Yep. They could be sleeping, they could be sleeping. Looks pretty dead. It's, I sort of, it's like a refractory period, you know, you need, I need some time to bounce back here. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Say, hit me up later, I'll get a live bird before the end of the show. Hey, hey, it happens to every wizard. Thank you. Yeah, absolutely. Oh, actually, Arnie, I feel like we should probably clean up the dead birds, because I feel like there's someone special here tonight.
Starting point is 00:13:10 I saw a lot of guards out front. It's true. I saw a sort of a rolled red carpet up to the tavern door. I feel like we should probably clean up a little bit, right? Oh wait, guys, are you saying it's award season? In better, it's royal season. Royal season? Yes.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Oh, I was so fortunate as to graze past the entrance. He's drunk, he's so drunk. No, the procession as it entered. You grazed past? I grazed past and I looked inside the main carriage and I saw there none other than King Alpha Doronius Exetian III. Alpha Doronius Exetian III, also known as King Ron.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Wow. Alpha Doronius Exetian III. Sure, we're all gonna remember that. Alpha Doronius Exetian III. Sure, we're all gonna remember that. Alpha Doronius Xtian III. Yeah, and also as I walked by I saw King Calliope. I don't know who's the guest, one's a little easier to say. I already shortened it. Why are we making this a hard thing? Uh, Eucidor. That's our job. Fair enough. To make it harder.
Starting point is 00:14:24 It's probably, it's probably, it's our job. Fair enough. Make it harder. It's probably King Ron. Let me grab these dead birds. Yeah, yeah, let me grab this dead bird. Okay, yeah. Here, here. No, put them back in there. No, no.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Okay. Okay, guys, okay, let's be... It's been a while since we've had, I don't know if we've ever had a king on. Is there, like, do we have to do a special, like, revelry to bring them out? I don't think we have that queued up, so no. Oh.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Oh, right, well, I'd be very excited to welcome, please, everyone, a huge royal welcome for this king. Your Majesty. Thank you your majesty. We are honored by your presence. But speak a command and it shall be done. Please, please rise. You are our friend. Thank by your presence. But speak a command and it shall be done.

Starting point is 00:15:50 I'm really feeling the fealty. You may rise. Oh, yes. Thank you, your majesty. They know not, they are simpletons. Not well-versed in the ways of treating royals as I am, accustomed to the court such as I am. An arnie here in the pink shirt, you see? He comes from another world. I'm from another world.
Starting point is 00:16:16 Another world, you say? Yeah, I'm a little bit interesting. Hmm, normally I wouldn't believe such a tale, but my dear friend here, who I've known for quite a while, helped me through some things. You know, there's certain sexual acts that can only happen with shape-shifting. Sure. It's true. Sure. That's what I've been saying.
Starting point is 00:16:37 That's what I've been saying. Chunt knows. Chunt knows. He's a shape-shifter. Oh, okay. Yes, your honor. Oh, great. Your majesty. Your majesty. I'm the only one that's not going to get a fucker king. Chunt knows he's a shape-shifter. Oh, okay. Yes. Yes, your honor. Oh, your majesty

Starting point is 00:17:24 Sounds like a band. He was a wonderful king. He was a wonderful king, but not as wonderful as you, Ron. Not that Ron the third, an accessible king, a king beloved by your subjects. All do praise and honor thee and all the great feats you have accomplished. Here now the praise from within the tavern. Oh, in the fish, even the fish love thee. Yes. Oh yeah, King Rung, King Rung, what the fuck is that?

Starting point is 00:18:27 Now, King Ron, you are beloved by your people, but like you said, you've had many challenges that I've had to help you overcome. Tell Arnie. You see, Arnie does a podcast, which is a boring thing that we send back to Earth. And people listen to it and are entertained, I guess. One woo.
Starting point is 00:18:53 You have just proven my point. Mildly entertaining. King Ron, do you mind if I interview you? What can I tell you? Of course. Yeah, if I interview you? What can I tell you? Do you mind? Yeah, if I interview you, so... Then I will be known in many lands. Yes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:19:10 What is the name of your kingdom, if you don't mind me asking? Oh, of course. Rondonia. Rondonia. Oh. A wonderful kingdom. Yes, beautiful with milk and honey and the fish women run free. Wow.

Starting point is 00:19:40 After nine, after nine, yeah. That's on the back of the flag. The back of the flag. The back of the flag. It's one of you flags you have to flip over. Yeah. Yeah. If you're coming from the south, do you just see the after 9 first?
Starting point is 00:19:58 Yeah, that's how flags work on me. Oh yeah, I'm sorry. That was the part that was the part that doesn't make sense. I mean also Arnie if you're coming from the south congratulations buddy it must be your birthday. Nice nice nice nice. So Ron just in general I'm sorry. We all are. Yeah, but here, okay, I have another question. Tell me, so what is your philosophy as a ruler? It's got to be a lot of pressure being a king.
Starting point is 00:20:33 It can be, you know? A lot of people to look after, a lot of people like, oh, eat the rich, and you're like, oh, I'm rich. You know? So that makes it difficult. A lot of internal strife. Big, real, a lot of family sleeping with each other. Oh.
Starting point is 00:20:52 And that can get messy. Yeah. Family reunions are weird. Yeah. So, and then wars, famines, and then just general lack of food. Why is this funny to you? I'm so sorry to laugh. Hammons and just general lack of food. Why is this funny to you?
Starting point is 00:21:06 Foodies. I'm so sorry to laugh. These are my people. I know, I am so sorry. So just to review. These are the challenges in your kingdom in order. From most important to least. Yeah, from most important to least.
Starting point is 00:21:23 First is worrying that they're going to eat you. Yes. You're subject to it. Every day I worry. Second, families fucking each other. Two. And then third, war and famine. Three.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Four. That's tough. That is tough. It's allowed to do it. Yeah. And King Rung, I got to say, King Rung, how are you handling all this strife? Are you doing okay? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:50 You know, I've had better days. Yeah. Things can be rough when you're a king. Sometimes you just want to get away from it all. Yeah. Meet some new friends. Oh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:02 Do you ever dress up as like, you know, a pauper, a peasant, and go into town and have fun just as a normal person? No, no. No, no. I mean, they recognize you right away, I think. That and also that sounds horrible. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:17 I mean, he's beloved, but if you show up on their level, they're going to tear you up. Yeah. Yeah. You got a little bit of distance. It's part of being a king. You don't want them... You want them to like being near you but not touch you. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. What kind of king was your father?
Starting point is 00:22:36 Oh, what type of king? He was a wonderful king. He was a wise king. Shitty dad. Oh. Yeah. Too committed to his work. Shitty dad. Oh. Yeah. Too committed to his work. Yeah, loved his work.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Always liked the kingdom, the kingdom, and never about me. You know, my full name? Alpha Doronius, XP in the third. He shouldn't have to say it. I never say it. You're so powerful, you can farm out the saying of your full name. Yes. Whenever I want to, that's what I do.
Starting point is 00:23:10 I go, hi, it's nice to meet you. I am my father. Alpha Del Ronius XT in the third. Wow. Someone will say it. Yeah. Now, it's very rude when you think about it that your father insisted that you take his name.
Starting point is 00:23:22 If you could pick any name for yourself, would you pick a different one? Yeah. Please, tell us Elvadoranius XT and what name would you pick? No one's ever asked before. Oh. Wow. Well, you're in the right place because this show is 75% names.
Starting point is 00:23:38 And the other 25% is questions. Yeah. And the other 25% is questions. Yeah. I just want to be like maybe Tony or Samantha. Tony! Tony! Tony. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:58 Tony seems like a nice guy. Yeah. Like Tony, do you want it just Tony? Just Tony. Just Tony. Yeah. You want to be like Tony Maselli? No.
Starting point is 00:24:11 No, I mean, that's too much pressure. That's back to being responsibility. You don't, a guy just Tony, you're like, no responsibility. Yeah. Yeah. Nobody wants to eat a Tony, right? People want to eat King Ron. Yes. Tony, right? People want to eat King Ron. Yes.
Starting point is 00:24:25 Tony, right? Well, Tony, now that you just knew so pretty yet is Tony, as you have said, let me now honor you with a new friend. And I'll turn off. Oh, no, no, no. Can I turn off? Ha-la!
Starting point is 00:24:42 Just as good as always, old friend. Oh, just as good as always, old friend. Business can mean a lot of things.

Starting point is 00:30:08 Oh wonderful. Arnie, I don't know if we should give him scritches. Your honor, does the king require scritches? Sure. Oh boy, where do you scritch a king? Wherever he wants. Maybe we'll just give a little shoulder scritch here. Yeah, that's a good king. Oh yeah, give him a little bit, man. Ani, this is why I'll never give up on royalty.
Starting point is 00:30:37 Sure. Because it makes sense. It's a good system of government. Everyone's doing the things they need to be doing, and nothing is weird. Yeah. Oh, and look at that. He ruined the furniture. He scratched up the chair. He scratched it up. Yeah. And do not... You know that box back there?
Starting point is 00:30:56 There's a giant king turd in that thing. Somehow I thought that was gonna kill. Food moon, Arnie! Food moon! Food moon! Why did we get a big sandbox and just leave it unopened here in the back of the tavern? I don't know! Oh shit, oh shit! Stand in front of the king! Stand in front of the king!
Starting point is 00:31:19 Momo's coming! Momo's coming! Momo's coming! Momo's coming! Momo's coming, Momo's coming! MMMMMMMMM big mouse. There's a cat energy in here. Oh. Is it the king? There's a kiss in here. Him and I have a real Tom and Jerry thing happening. Hello. Oh, hello, Momo.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Hello, Ron. Good to see you. How do you do? Royalty, don't eat me. Don't be shy, come closer. My friends! Maureen, Toby, you're the, ah!
Starting point is 00:32:08 Whoa, whoa. Chunch! Pfft. Okay, this is a bad day so far. Um, Momo was a late add to this. Momo got asked on Thursday. No! Oh wow.
Starting point is 00:32:22 That's not, that's not true. Thursday afternoon, and I had thrown away my mouse costume in 2019, thank you very much. What? And I'll... Now Momo, why would you as a... I can't hear me what? Why would you as a mouse need a mouse costume?
Starting point is 00:32:40 Yeah. This is the thing I've always wondered, why you wear that mouse costume around? Momo, you need to have better self-esteem. Yeah. This is the thing I've always wondered, why you wear that mouse costume around? Momo, you need to have better self-esteem. Yeah. Stop drawing yourself a woman. Since when? You know Carol Burnett when she was on that talk show and then she had a wig of her hair
Starting point is 00:32:57 on top of her hair for the laugh? No. Who on who? Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. See? Aerodynamic. So how are you celebrating the food moon, gentlemen?
Starting point is 00:33:10 Well we were throwing dead birds for a minute. I can see this. Yeah. Then we have royalty on. And what the fuck is this? And that's about it. Great. Momo is going to chime in once every seven minutes
Starting point is 00:33:26 with a little Momo flavor, as you were. Well, I guess I wasn't familiar that you celebrate a food moon. We were just using it as an excuse, frankly. How do you like to celebrate the food moon? Purge. Just go nuts and commit all the crimes you ever wanted. Uh-huh. Okay. What did you do any today? A couple. Any good ones?
Starting point is 00:33:53 Wait till you get back to your apartment. Oh You live in an apartment, Isidor? He rents. Yes, I'm sorry. I didn't want to tell you. I didn't want to talk about it, but I got kicked out of my most recent hovel, and now I'm living in an apartment. There's a band living upstairs. I can't get a moment's sleep. All they do is play that damn lute day and night.
Starting point is 00:34:17 Do you have a bed frame? Tell me it's not a mattress on the floor, buddy. I don't have a mattress on the floor. I float in the middle of the room. With no top sheet Also for anyone here that lives in an apartment keep in mind he got kicked out of his hovel And has to live in an apartment Tony tell us about your palace. I assume? Yeah. Oh, wonderful palace.
Starting point is 00:34:45 What kind of treasure do you have? Oh, why? Oh shit, he's on to me. Wink. Don't ever ask a king about their treasure. Okay. That's the first thing you want to know? What kind of furniture do you have?
Starting point is 00:35:01 Well, you know, entertaining bed, sleeping beds, eating beds. Oh. I'm way too upright for normal right now. Sure. Big sandbox, balls of yarn, just a lot of normal things that kings would have. An eating bed. I've never wanted to be something more in my life. I want to be a king now. Yeah, balls of yarn, are you sure?
Starting point is 00:35:28 Gonna be hard to sit down. Well, maybe if you have so many beds, maybe if you have so many beds, maybe there's one you just want to leave outside for a friend to take. Usadour, what happened? Are you not in the apartment anymore? Did you get kicked out of that too? No, I just said I'm floating in the middle of a room You think that's a wizard thing. I just don't have a bed What is it like to sleep floating like there's no support do you float on your side it's like you a side floater
Starting point is 00:36:01 Yeah, I tend to float on my side it's sort of like if you were imagine you were floating the ocean sure and at any moment you could fall in the ocean yeah and it would hurt when you hit the ground because notions only about six inches high so are you saying you can float while you're awake? Uh-huh. Then you float in the middle of the room. Right. I fall asleep, I'm floating, I start to fall asleep, and as soon as I fall asleep, I fall
Starting point is 00:36:33 to the ground and wake up. Over and over again, all night for eight straight hours. I mean, it sounds like a pretty good metaphor for sleep apnea. Yeah, yes. Yeah. Oh, yes, yeah. Oh, do we have a new sponsor? Yes, we do. Today's episode is brought to you by Sleep Apnea.
Starting point is 00:36:56 No catchphrase? What was it? They have no catchphrase or slogan? Hashtag snore? Glad I asked, thank you. Yeah. Yeah. And that was the must read part,
Starting point is 00:37:10 so you called it action, if you will. Yeah, good work. Yeah, thank you, thank you. Now, King Ron, you were telling us about your beautiful palace and all the accoutrements there. I'm sorry I distract us with all this talk of not having a bed and being a poor wizard, just working,
Starting point is 00:37:25 working day and night tirelessly to defend food from all the forces of evil. Yea, I have no time to amass wealth. I must set aside all, donate all to the weak and the poor to ensure that goodness and righteousness do reign for all time. But you have a nice set of beds, it sounds like. Yeah, it sounds, I mean, that sounds like a lot, but... I've been told that, that I sound like a lot? A lot.
Starting point is 00:37:55 But for me, yeah, it's mostly a lot of sleeping, so I need a lot of beds, because it's part of the job of being a king. You have to be well rested to live for a long time so that you can be there. Well, it's important that you're there. You provide a consistency to the people. They know that the king is there, even though they toil and their lives are meaningless,
Starting point is 00:38:17 and they'll never accomplish a goddamn thing. I hear that. Yes. Oh, okay. you could be royalty. All right. Sorry to make this about Momo, but I just noticed that my ex is in the audience tonight. Oh. Hello, Mayor Banana.
Starting point is 00:38:37 Oh, boy. Wow. Unbelievable. It's good to see you. You're looking well. Oh, he's with another mouse. Oh, my's with another mouse Oh my god, okay. No, that's good
Starting point is 00:39:01 Fuck you that's insane That's insane. We broke up like three years ago. Four? Oh my god. You see, Tony, Momo here, the mouse, used to date a banana man named Manana who ran for mayor of our old town and became the mayor. And that's the most normal lore of this show. It's true. A tale as old as time.
Starting point is 00:39:26 Sure. Do you have a paramour, someone that you love, someone who's churned your eye, a future queen perhaps? Oh, of course, there's many that catch a king's eye. Of course, those with regular heads, with fish heads. Did you say regular heads with the fish heads? He said with regular heads with fish heads? Did you say regular heads with the fish heads? He said with regular heads or fish heads. Flash fish heads.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Which I'm sorry is not diminutive to you. Your head is regular for a person with a fish head. But for here it's very freaky. Honestly, yes. I honestly yes but I'm open to you know winches and women of all nature know how to treat a king okay a romantic yes what is there any pressure as the king to have a sire like to have a child to eventually take your place and all your treasure? No, that's, you, that seems more like competition, you know?
Starting point is 00:40:32 I know how I was with my dad. Every day I'd wake up just waiting for him to die. Sure. Oh, cause you mentioned wise king, shitty father. Yes. Yes. And also I was slightly evil. True. I didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:40:50 What constitutes slightly evil? Well, you know, you grow up wealth, no consequences, no issues. I just kind of like murder, no big deal. Sure. He's tried to kill Momo like 80 times. Yes. He tried to kill me today.
Starting point is 00:41:04 What do you mean he's evil? You guys are like, what? Evil? Yeah. He tried to kill Momo like 80 times. Yes. He tried to kill me today. What do you mean he's evil? You guys are like, what, evil? Yeah. He tried to kill your friend. Also in retrospect, when he tried to murder you, we did like nothing. Momo remembers. Momo never forgets.
Starting point is 00:41:19 Banana. Unbelievable. I'm serious this time, guys. I'm never dating a banana again. And I'm actually serious this time. So how many bananas have you dated? Right. Like a lot. What? Green bananas, yellow bananas, banana bread.
Starting point is 00:41:46 Why? Oh, mama! Wow. Banana bread is famously when a banana goes bad. I know, and I know that! I know that now! So you don't discriminate by age? No, do you? Well, green banana, never mind. Yeah. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:42:03 It's fine, I'll date other fruit. I'll be happy, I'll be fine. Oh. So King, she's probably gonna cry for a while. You're a little bit evil. And this is too personal of a question. No, I'm open with it. Did you kill your dad?
Starting point is 00:42:23 Yes. Oh. Yeah. Okay. Now I know I'm famously on record as being anti-evil, but I like where this is going. There is an exception that I will make, and that's for royalty that are slightly evil, because I respect the royal lineage.
Starting point is 00:42:45 I respect that you murdered your father, the beloved Alpha Doranius XT in the second, to become Alpha Doranius XT in the third. Tony. Because that is, that is how royalty works. And it's a good system, and we should keep it forever. Not a waste of money at all.
Starting point is 00:43:10 You're so wise. Oh, thank you. So it's like, hi, I'm King. I come from a long line of dad killers. Yeah, I mean, not always. Sometimes, you know, your father, if you're a prince, sometimes your father gets if you're a prince, sometimes your father gets slain in battle, and other times,
Starting point is 00:43:28 your father dies of old age while you're off in a foreign land trying to woo a prince or a princess to be your co-king or queen, and- Accidental poisonings. Accidental poisonings happen all the time in the castle. Accidental poisonings. Oh yeah, a lot of stuff is poison. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:43:47 How did you kill your dad? I didn't think you were gonna ask that. Oh. I'm so sorry. That just felt like a natural follow-up question. You seemed so happy to tell me that you had killed him. I didn't realize that there were aspects of that story that might be off balance.
Starting point is 00:44:04 I'll tell you. Okay, thank you. It was on purpose poisoning. Ah! Arnie, the only other type of poisoning. I know. What are the odds? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:15 Wow. In the ear? Yes. Yeah. Why do people keep poisoning people in the ear? It's funny. In the mouth is like, meh. But in the ear? It's funny. In the mouth it's like, meh. But in the ear it's so fucking funny.
Starting point is 00:44:29 And in the belly button it's just too humiliating. It takes a while. It takes a while. Yeah. Huh. Did he, did he, did he have any last words? Did he scream? Did he notice it was you?
Starting point is 00:44:42 That's an intimate question. Is this a date? Thank you Momo. Oh. Did he scream? Did he notice it was you? That's an intimate question. Is this a date? Thank you. Oh, Momo. Oh. There we go. Oh, wait. It's a date. All right. Did your father scream when you killed him?
Starting point is 00:44:56 And what's your favorite color? I'm so sorry to interrupt. I'm going to stir you off with some waters. Is there anything else I can get for you? Can we get a plate of sardines? Oh, you're just ordering for me? Um, can we get a plate of sardines? Oh, you're just ordering for me? Well, actually, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:45:10 Oh, okay, now, okay, thank you. Well, gentlemen, just sparkling water for me to start. Great, for you? Just tap water. Great. He comes in here all the time with different animals. He had sex with an oyster like two days ago. Be right back.
Starting point is 00:45:29 Sorry about that. That's the manager, the general manager. I hate this guy. I hope that everything's going well over here so far. I was hoping I could interest you in a bird. Oh! Oh, I'll grab that. Momo, Momo, what did they order? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:45:50 I didn't write it down. This is playful. This is a good date so far. Oh, he's bored. What else? Arnie, what else? On Earth, what? I don't know, I'm sitting here trying to think
Starting point is 00:46:04 what my role is in this restaurant. Chunt, Chunt, keep asking questions. Take an interest in the King. You may have a chance to become a Queen. Oh yes, so Captain Ron, King Ron, King Ron, King Ron. Careful. King Ron, when your dad died, scale of one to ten.
Starting point is 00:46:30 That's a classic date question. It's like how many siblings do you have? Quite frankly, I'm sick of answering this question. Of course, of course, of course. Arnie, on Earth, what do you do to woo? You're always talking about Earth girls are easy. How do you woo a woman? Yeah, Arnie is always Earth, what do you do to woo? You're always talking about Earth girls are easy. How do you woo a woman? Yeah, Arnie is always talking about that.
Starting point is 00:46:48 Yes. Yes. You know, ask him. Just compliment him. Try complimenting him as a king. I love your dead dad. I don't think Sean has ever really had sex. I don't think Sean has ever really had sex. I don't think Sean has ever really had sex.
Starting point is 00:47:09 I don't think Sean has ever really had sex. I don't think Sean has ever really had sex. I don't think Sean has ever really had sex. I don't think Sean has ever really had sex. I don't think Sean has ever really had sex. I don't think Sean has ever really had sex. What didn't surprise me? Is the duck the symbol of your kingdom?
Starting point is 00:47:34 No, it is milk and honey, and then let the women with fish heads run free after 9. After 9. Yes. After 9's on the back. After 9's on the back. AM or PM? and that the women with fish heads run free after nine. After nine, yes. After nine's on the back. After nine's on the back. AM or PM?

Starting point is 00:48:10 No. What? I've had a chick pee in my mouth. I've had a chick pee in my mouth. I've had a chick. I've had a chick pee in my mouth. We get it a chick, I've had a chick pee in my mouth. We get it! Sure, sure.
Starting point is 00:48:27 You know, Momo, I have a new realization. What's up? About this whole show. It's hard to sit there, but in its own way, it's hard to sit here watching what's happening there. Yeah. Momo, Momo, Momo, come here. Sure.
Starting point is 00:48:42 You know what, I just remembered I'm sick, so you got this, you got this. I've what, I just remembered I'm sick, so. You got this, you got this. I've had a garbanzo bean in my mouth, I don't get it. Oh, they're laughing. Momo must have said something funny. So has a banana ever broken your heart before? Who hasn't been there, Momo?
Starting point is 00:49:09 Oh, that's really sweet. So you make me nervous. Momo's never hasn't been on a date in four years. You said four? Four years? And I guess we weren't really dating there at the end, were we? Okay, okay, okay.

Also, where are the waiters around here? My God, terrible service. Hi, I've been upgraded to waiter. Hi, I've been shadowing here. Okay. You took too long. Hi, I've been shadowing here. Okay. You took too long.
Starting point is 00:49:46 No, come back. Come here. Okay, hi. Would you like to hear about our specials? Yes. Oh, fuck. Fuck shit. Fuck shit.
Starting point is 00:49:55 Fuck. Oh. What do you want the special to do? Just say something with truffle on it. Well, we have something with truffle on it. Ooh. Ooh. We also have truffle and we have stuff without truffle. Yes. So those are your options. We have
Starting point is 00:50:12 accidental poison and intentional poison. My favorite. And we have a prefixed menu. Whatever that is. Yeah. Well I don't want to order for you because that would be rude. So please, what would you like? I'll go with truffle. With truffle. With truffle. Very good choice. Very good choice.

Starting point is 00:51:00 All right. I'm gonna... I realize what's going wrong with all of our dates. Nobody's playing the table. Oh, this is suddenly much nicer. So, what else? You know one thing? I like how you slapped those commoners around. Thank you, I thought.
Starting point is 00:51:21 You might like that. You're making this so hard for yourself. I hurt my feet. Oh, no. We will both get hurt if you fall. We will both get hurt. For those listening at home. Bring the food, bring the food, bring the food. I'll get you food.
Starting point is 00:51:43 Oh, wow, excellent. Oh, I should put a matchstick under this, one of these legs that wobbles. Yeah, thanks. I'm sorry, this table is exhausted. Oh, it's walking away. What a sad looking skunk. Here is your with truffle. Thank you. And here is your tamales.
Starting point is 00:52:08 My favorite. And I've got to say, I'm impressed that I remembered both of those things. No, not you. Usador, I'm getting nervous. I'm getting flustered. Can you tap in for me? Sure, sure. No problem. I'm getting flustered. Can you tap in for me? Sure, sure. No problem. Happy to do it. Your Majesty, thank you for allowing me to spend part of the evening with you. I think your eyes are so beautiful, so deep and brown and lovely,
Starting point is 00:52:40 but it's such a beautiful twinkle to them that I can't help but be enraptured by your smiling face. Fuck, he's crushing it all! Yusador is the king. Good to see you, Nat Coven. Holy shit, I'm rude. Wow. Your Majesty, tell me in depth exactly how your tax plan works? Well basically I kind of collect a lot of money from people it's never really a percentage it's kind of like what do you got? What do you got? We'll take whatever you got that's us. Yeah. Yeah. For me. Okay. And then we keep it. Okay. And then... Perfect. I mean do you see why this is the perfect system of government?
Starting point is 00:53:27 I will say I appreciate that there's no math involved in that process. Math muddles things up. It's true. It's very true. Math does muddle things up. That's why I believe in the power of magic. Because while there are some potions, and yes, I shall do some calculations, I find it more important to feel in my heart and to feel in my soul that I can create life out of nothing and ensure that there is a living bird.
Starting point is 00:53:59 Sheila, no! All these birds were my friends. We were in a book club together and now they're all dead. Momo, what was the last book that you read with all these birds? The Da Vinci Code. Well, we know what killed them. Wait, there's one, there's one, okay. King, please be seated. You sir, get up, get up.
Starting point is 00:54:24 There's one final, oh, there's one final chance. Why did I move if he's leaving send the king? Just send the king Do you mind? John ran into the part of the tavern? That's not our table We have one actually a king would you come here? And you can just just kind, just kinda hang, just kinda hang. King, this is my friend. Is fish head rude? No?
Starting point is 00:54:54 Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! This is not a real fish head! What the fuck? What the fuck? You trying to set me up?
Starting point is 00:55:08 That fish took its head off. Yeah, Arnie. Food moon. Oh, right. It's a food moon. A were fish. Oh, if we had no no. I wouldn't have been scared. I see, I see, I see. Well, now we had known. Oh, where? I would have been scared. I see, I see, I see.
Starting point is 00:55:25 Well, now we're aware. Oh, Chunt, are you getting an email? I was looking at porn, but I can look at emails. What? Huh? Anything good? Oh, oh yeah. Someone shucking an oyster.
Starting point is 00:55:41 Let's see here. That's not how you spell shucking. Where are... I liked that joke. That was good. Thank you! Thank you! I really loved it. Here's an email from Ruby. Ruby says, who are Tom and Jerry in Foo? Now, Momo, earlier you said you and the King had a Tom and Jerry type relationship.
Starting point is 00:56:02 Oh, yes. They are a cat and mouse who chase each other. I got asked on Thursday. I don't have anything prepared. Why is there more explanation needed? Momo is, you are one of our favorite friends in this whole world. That cannot be true. And yes, we invited you here on Thursday, and yes, we had a conversation that was,
Starting point is 00:56:29 should we have Momo? And then the response was, eh. To be fair, I said, should we have Momo? Arnie said, meh. And I didn't, hold on. I didn't say meh. I said, yeah, question mark. If it makes't say meh, I said, yeah, question mark. If it makes you feel any better, I said, yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:50 Yeah. When I got asked. That's, if you ask me, that's a wonderful level of friendship, a kind of like, yeah, yeah. I'm gonna be there anyway, why not? I believe after Arnie said, yeah, what I said was, Momo is a valuable asset to the show. And of course we would be blessed to have a presence there.
Starting point is 00:57:09 But at that point they had walked away. Yes, and that makes sense. That's true. And King Ron, I don't know why you're here. You're way too talented for the show. Um, here we have an email from Daniel. Daniel says, help, advice. Hello everyone.
Starting point is 00:57:24 I'm a dog groomer. Ew. I'm a dog groomer and have recently been singing Hey Sexy Dog at Work. Some of my coworkers overheard me and instead of asking why I'm singing this to dogs, I had to go. You are fired.
Starting point is 00:57:39 Well, they go on to say I had to go to HR. I have a meeting with them Monday, what should I say? Play the episode where Hey hey sexy dog comes from. Yeah, yeah, play them the episode. Just say it, I'm singing a song. Yeah. If you're about to get fired, don't play Hello from the Magic Tavern at work.
Starting point is 00:57:55 Yeah. Why not? I'd say better not play it at work ever. How many people who listen to this podcast Got fired. Are willing to go to the HR where they were and share hello from the magic tavern just to see what happened okay all the self-employed people clapping if you're gonna lose your job just yell blood farts King you
Starting point is 00:58:21 you like fish heads you like like non-fish heads. Did the citizens of your kingdom ever get upset that you're laying with animals? Yes. Is there, does royalty have an HR? Is there some sort of? No, I mean they find most things I do morally corrupt. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:42 So kind of me laying with different, that's kind of the least of their worries. Yeah, of course. And as a reminder, he taxes them all of their money so they have no legal recourse. They can't hire a lawyer. Yeah. And the lawyers are all people with fish heads in his kingdom anyway. Yeah. But he's up front about it so it's cool. He doesn't lie about it. Thank you, Mama. You're welcome. This is the point in the show
Starting point is 00:59:09 where I ask my patented question, what's next? What? Famous. What do you, you know, you've come to this tavern and you've given us some of your time, which I appreciate. What does the rest of an evening look like for a king? Oh, just ruling and relaxing. Oh.
Starting point is 00:59:31 Probably a little debauchery thrown in there. Debauchery? I wasn't gonna say it, it's always a little bit of debauchery. Yeah. Yeah. You know, yeah, just get it, mix it up, get messy in there.
Starting point is 00:59:42 Mm-hmm. Sure, yeah, absolutely. Pillaging. Oh, you like to pillage college. Mm-hmm you do your own pillaging I still get my hands dirty A king do you mind I just want to have a quick a quick convo with my co-host here use it or giant Okay, Momo's not a part of this. Momo's the each other's. This isn't a CONFAP for Thursdays. This is not my station.
Starting point is 01:00:13 Look, I'm loving this gang, even though he's evil. Uh-huh. But he says that he does his own pillaging. Right. He was really nervous when I brought up treasure. Is it possible we are mid-pillage right now? Oh no. He's gonna take our treasure.
Starting point is 01:00:34 No, he's gonna take our treasure. Or at least all our dead birds. Shit. Well, in just a moment. Hold on. One, two, No, I think there's four. At least, just as long as he doesn't get the one that's... And Momo, too. Oh, wait.
Starting point is 01:00:52 Momo is equal part of this. Uh, we were just, um, about to sing, right, guys? Why set yourself up for that? What? I don't know. I don't know why he does it. It looks- Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum. Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum.
Starting point is 01:01:10 All right, Momo's gonna go back to her chair. Nevermind. It worked, it worked. Okay, let's... No, I like where this is going. Will you sing me a song? Oh shit. Now he's gonna demand it.
