Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a HeadGum Podcast. Well, I'm not blaming you, Mitra. For? I have a very bad headache. It started, I suppose, before we started talking. But it's definitely worse. So I don't know if it was in anticipation of seeing you that my body tried to protect itself and activated this feeling. Because you were so happy. I don't want to put a name to any of the emotions around it.
Starting point is 00:00:50 Why? What I want to do is just let you know that I'm not blaming you. Yeah. But that's going to impact the recording. And I may take some breaks. Well, it's good that you're not blaming me because you shouldn't blame victims. I think if we've learned anything. And I think he also has a statement that he wanted to make which you know he has his black hooded
Starting point is 00:01:08 sweatshirt on he is wearing the hood up yeah he sort of doesn't make a statement and say that he is not goth uh no he just has a headache i've elected to go ghost protocol for the episode i have talked about i've threatened to do it for a while, but I will need some breaks, and it will be easier for y'alls to enjoy your conversation if I am Ghost Protocol and not interrupting the frequency with my very visible presence. And I do want to announce that i am got off
Starting point is 00:01:45 what could be more dark and sinister than just looking normal like the status quo you know what i mean yeah to me that's the most goth of all is wearing normal i'll say about us. Like a shirt. Wearing normal. No, that's the most goth thing because the actual goth attitude, it's about defying cultural expectations. And so for a goth person to dress all in black.
Starting point is 00:02:17 That's normal to me, by the way. Well, that's, you're being normal. You're meeting the expectations of society. Right. But to wear a normal shirt. To wear a normal shirt, that's very dark and's very dark wedding ring yeah boots right green slacks yes these are not things that i expect of a goth and so i go this guy's really gone that's goth he's really uh breaking the mold of what i thought a goth could be i I want to say, as we talk about our appearance, and Mitra, I'm sorry that you have to be here for this,
Starting point is 00:02:52 but we got a comment on the most recent episode that was maybe my favorite compliment I've ever received, which is someone wrote, these guys look like their podcast should be terrible. Yes. That was really nice. That was really meaningful to me. Thank you. That's good should be terrible. Yes. That was really nice. That was really meaningful to me. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:03:07 That's good. Thank you. Yeah. That was really nice for me to read, too. Yeah. They look like two guys whose podcast would be so bad. It's nice in every direction, I think. I don't want to look like someone who would be good at it.
Starting point is 00:03:19 They have a good podcast? Oh, my God. No, no, no, no. That's not good. No, doctor. Think about the people who look like they have a good podcast. Stinky Ugo. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Yes. To be fair. Yucky. Okay. And a little bit of the character came out and you said that you'd be cycling through some of these in preparation for. Well, I just want to be ready for when SNL comes a knocking. Yes.
Starting point is 00:03:45 And yes. And so this, I didn't know if I was allowed to say it because this, obviously the sag strike still. Yeah. Happening for now. For now. It's ending tomorrow. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:55 Um, uh, but I think that we should talk about SNL and certainly your involvement with it and your. Future. Certainly your involvement with it and your replacement of not only all the British characters that they do, but David S. Pumpkins is now going to be Davina S. Pumpkins. Davina S. Pumpkinetta. Yes, which is such. And S stands for sexy. So beautiful. Yes.
Starting point is 00:04:21 And I thought I didn't know that at first but when you told me i said that makes sense and i go any christinos yeah that is so powerful and funny big big person it should be it should be as person so that's what it should be. But unfortunately, they'd already begun working on the merch when I got involved. Is there a spooky version of a name brand designer you would have a nice purse from?
Starting point is 00:04:52 Bowie Vuitton. Perfect. I can probably do that. Yeah, you could be. I think I can too. I can probably do that. I think I can too. But guys know less about that kind of thing. I just want to point out I'm doing this
Starting point is 00:05:08 because of your behavior on past episodes I feel like I have to have this pillow in front of me because every time I'm on the show you say something I cannot think of this while you're talking I can't think of a I can't even think of something
Starting point is 00:05:24 that I can do a name about i know oh i don't know what ow haze hit me i don't know if anyone saw because it happened behind the pillow okay but yeah well that's the downside of the pillow i know well believe women i yeah i i do in terms of goth like where do i fall on the spectrum that's your choice i mean that's what's so beautiful about goth culture is like as haze has proven you can kind of just say that you are or you can be black hoodie up and say no i'm not i'm i'm merely ghost protocol speaking of ghost protocol speaking of it. Halloween. Halloween. Halloween.
Starting point is 00:06:06 Speaking of spooky bags, designer bags maybe would be better. Let's talk about the- And David Pumpkins. Let's talk about- Does that feel closer than Ghost Protocol? To what? Halloween. Oh, and goth stuff is also Halloween too.
Starting point is 00:06:18 But unfortunately, Ghost Protocol was the thing that was most recently said. Burr scary. You can always say speaking of- Is this one? Burr said. Burrscary. You can always say speaking of. Is this one? Burrscary. About the newest thing. Burrscary. Booberry.
Starting point is 00:06:31 Burrscary. Boo Percy. Burrscary. Oh, that's very similar to Booey Viton. Booey Viton, yeah. Yeah. Jimmy Boo. But it's no less valid.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Does it just. It's no less valid. Jimmy Choo just shoes. It'd be Jimmy Boo. Yes. Is that a purse? That. But it is probably just shoes. Does it just... It's no less valid. Jimmy Choo just shoes, it'd be Jimmy Boo. Yes. Is that a first? That, I'm... But it is probably just shoes.
Starting point is 00:06:48 Full body spray. They probably do one first. Speaking of scary predators, like, there is... Halloween. Halloween. The pipeline to SNL these days, for a while,
Starting point is 00:06:56 it was, like, whatever, Chicago, improv and stuff, then there was, like, a bunch of stand-ups and things. Yeah. The pathway now that we all know is haunted hayrides. Well, and yours, can I just say,
Starting point is 00:07:14 and I know that we all bust chops on the show, and that's part of how comedians relate. Yes. Ravs. Your haunted hayride is something that the entire industry looks forward to every year. Yes. Thank you. Beatrice fucked up haunted hayride is something that the entire industry looks forward to every year yes thank you and it's it's so fucked up and it's so dark and twisted and i think that um this year the previews that you were kind enough to share with me are industry access are chilling and freaky and mind-bending and yet i think since we have a little time we could push it even further well so here's something that i wasn't
Starting point is 00:07:57 allowed to do because of walt disney corporation i wanted everyone to enter through mini mouse open throat uh-huh covered in teeth uh-huh sort of what is that the one with like the one the teeth has the pussy has teeth what is that it's just called teeth yeah sure oh yeah sure yeah so kind of that but with mini yeah i want you to enter through that and that's just where it starts you kind of get cut up a little bit because it's all shark okay so that's something that i've kind of been developing that did not read for me well because of what you changed it to when i experienced when i experienced it i think the changes have taken it so far from the original that it's like well because the shark also has like ears and a bow yeah and um the teeth are not sharp no well because of people walking
Starting point is 00:08:48 over them like if somebody walked over your teeth all day they would also not be that but you said well okay i guess they just don't seem like teeth and the idea so they're blue i guess like this pillow and it seems like you think that the sharks are eating water all day. Ew. Ew. Ew. And I did clock that. And Hayes, I want to say, like, let's just take it easy with the.
Starting point is 00:09:17 This just happens every time. Looking in the comments on the physical appearance. I'm sorry. I just forget. I'm trying to adapt to this stuff. Yeah. But you got to look. You got to understand. I'm trying to adapt to this stuff. Yeah. But you gotta look. You gotta understand, when we grew up, you know, like the culture we grew up in. I was born to look.
Starting point is 00:09:31 It was actually considered a compliment to tell a dame what color pillow she had on over this lap. Like that, you know, and I understand that that's not the case anymore. And I certainly am doing the work. Yeah, what work are you doing to improve on the kind of way that you are? I'm reading so many books. Thank you, soldier. Yes, I am reading.
Starting point is 00:09:57 I am doing the research. And I'm listening to different voices that I maybe in the past was not exposed to or or i'll admit it ignored oh oh yeah yeah i felt that yeah and i and i now can say i some of those voices here's haze again you know i know. He has to get his little. I think it's okay. Like the way you were like deliberately ignoring books. Yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:10:34 I think it's like in this day and age, it's okay to like to not be for a certain amount of your life to not have been able to read a book. Well, that. well, yes. Uh, I don't want to lose any accountability. There was a big chunk where even if I had tried to read the books, you know, it, it wouldn't have happened because I couldn't, uh, the symbols on the page would have been pretty meaningless yeah the swoopy one the line just a line there's two that are a line yeah and so uh telling that apart you know uh that would have been really challenging so i i can say that I wasn't ill-intentioned, but I can also say maybe I should have put the work in to really learn to read when I was in my early 30s. Thank you. And so the teeth are blue, which is explained effectively, I think, by the speakers that are saying sharks eat water. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:53 And I read that to me. Because of the theme song from Degrassi. Sharks are. Baby, there's a shark in the water. Remember that? There was a promo for Degrassi where they sing that song. That's what Degrassi's about? Yeah, it's about so much, but there is Shark in the Water for like six to 17 seasons of Degrassi, which is of Canada, and there's so much water because of Canada.
Starting point is 00:12:14 So they really try to address that. Much of it's frozen, though. But that can be water at any given point. It's sort of the constant threat of when it can become water. And there's still more books to read for me because I hear point it's sort of the constant threat of when it can become water and this is what and there's still more books to read for me because i hear that it's frozen and i think that's not really water you need to be reading that's so so childish of me you gotta open water's blue like the other stuff is white so like that's not water and what's so cool about my haunted house i
Starting point is 00:12:42 think is like all the lights on you don't want to see oh i assume that was because of the preview nature oh yeah i thought that they would be at least dim so that so so it is going to be on yeah because i think scariest thing are the monsters among us and it's kind of like my goth like yeah that's sort of a cool idea. That should be explained maybe. By what? Like by who? By a doctor or some kind? Because sharks eat water.
Starting point is 00:13:11 So it's turned the teeth blue. Then I think other things feel like they have to be explained. Well, we were actually hoping to have a component of it that is words all over everything. Sort of like a hot topic like dressed up like sort of in the goth vein um like banksy like a little bit like banks yeah like a chase bank of some kind like you know there's so much literature there banksy there's words all over chase banksy yeah yeah okay um i fucks with that but you know i i'm not certain that that intention is coming across so i understand you from the tone you don't want to have a doctor explain it although
Starting point is 00:13:55 there's an official sort of element to a doctor being there and if you know a doctor says these are teeth which i also didn't yeah you can tell it was a tooth? Didn't read. Did not, to me, seem like a tooth. I'm so embarrassed. We're not here to pick on you. We're here to help out. I want this thing to really scare people. Can I say this? I miss the hay.
Starting point is 00:14:24 I really do miss the hay. I was feeling the absence of the hay as well more than i thought i would i didn't think it was as much of a can i tell you yeah i eat it you ate it yeah i could feel that you did not have to say does does what you presented there, right? Yeah. It was just pretty obvious. It's not like it was sticking out of your teeth or anything, but it was just painfully clear that you had eaten a bale. Well, and there were all these snack stops, and you would just go, like, there's, like, past apps and stuff, and you would go, oh, I couldn't possibly.
Starting point is 00:15:02 I'm so full of pain. Yeah. Oh, so I said it. You had a big cubish belly. Fuck you, pervert. Always looking. I gotta look. There's nothing sacred.
Starting point is 00:15:14 There's nothing safe. I would say if you're gonna look, don't talk about what you see. Belly looking like a damn hay bale. That's what I said. I gotta look. You're a sick, messed up dude. i don't know why i come back here because i know that i'm gonna leave here feeling so always be looking yeah and uh you know obviously i'm i saw it too uh was not know, was not going to bring it up,
Starting point is 00:15:45 but as we discuss it, you were looking like a damn hay bale. And I, I think that that created an expectation for, Hey, you know, even subconsciously to a lot of people that like, okay,
Starting point is 00:15:59 she looks like a damn hay bale. There must be more around the corner. And that fact that you had eaten all of it and that the ponies were so hungry, you know, we have to assume you ate it right in front of them. Yes, of course. But they, to my credit, they could go get their own stuff at any point in time because I think it's what I would like out of my hayride is a bjah experience, a bring your own hail experience. Hey, hail. Hello? I think it might be my dad calling.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Put him on. He listens, yeah. My dad's a huge fan, yeah. Well, I'm not going to let that ruin the show for me, the phone call. You said hail. Yeah, bring your own hail experience. I had some ideas if we do bring back the hay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:57 What if the hay itself is haunted? So hear me out. Haunted hay. We changed the punctuation. Haunted hay. Colon. Right. Yes. So hear me out. We changed the punctuation. Haunted hay ride. Colon ride. Yes. So the hay.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Haunted hay colon ride. Is there any rule that says the hay can't be blood? A little spooky. Yes. Yeah. Spooky blood. Teeth. Blood with teeth.
Starting point is 00:17:19 Please come on. It can be teeth, but I think if it's teeth, it should be. Fang. Fang. And you find teeth, but I think if it's teeth, it should be... Fang. Fang. And you find teeth and fang in a haystack. Sorry, what?
Starting point is 00:17:32 You find the fang in the haystack. Find the fang in the haystack. And then what do you say? You say... Fang you. Fang you very much. Fang you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very mulch.
Starting point is 00:17:49 Thank you very much. Thank you very much. I would actually, and I would 86 the mulch. The mulch is not a replacement for hay. It's not a hay replacement. I agree. But don't you think the stink is just a little bit scary? It is.
Starting point is 00:18:07 It makes it unpleasant, which I get as part of like a... You want to be laying in bathtub soap the whole time you're at the haunted hail ride? Can't you just be a little scary with the stink? I didn't say I wanted to lay in bathtub soap. That's not fair to characterize my noise. Oh, you want to be in the pile of roses with the lights off in the bathtub, having a time of your life, feeling so safe and in a comfort of your own home. The lights should be off.
Starting point is 00:18:30 The lights were on. The lights should be off. Stinky mulch. The lights were on. Find the tooth and you walk through the blue tooth to get into the building. The lights are on. Stinky mulch. And my belly's full of hay.
Starting point is 00:18:41 What could be scarier than that? Well, I have an idea of something scarier. Hmm. I don't know if they make this, but they have to. A mirror that look like Sunderman's behind you. Ah! And you look in the mirror. How do I look tonight?
Starting point is 00:19:01 And it should say, like, see how you look. Yes. Mirror here. Yes. And as you get up. And it should say like, see how you look. Yes. Mirror here. Yes. And as you get up. And it costs $2. Maybe a, yes, maybe a, yes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Yes. And it costs, but then once you look, it costs another $200 or maybe even more than that. Well, Slenderman actually can hold a gun to your head and make you. Yes, to go away. Yes. He can hold a gun to your head and yes to go away yes he can hold a gun to your head and make you pay for him to leave you know what i mean yeah put the more money in the slot oh my god so you got more in there wouldn't be modern day slenderman have to venmo him oh modern day here's my cash app yes i'm at
Starting point is 00:19:45 slendermank1 and it's like oh somebody had you know there's an underscore in there and then you like someone else Venmo transaction it's public slendermanks is public
Starting point is 00:20:01 it's not even private 1% what's it for to live yes to live through the hayride and my head's killing me i'm gonna take a break and it might be maybe because of what what is sean's headache the skull shaped wheel what now it doesn't What now? It doesn't roll in a normal way. That's the point.
Starting point is 00:20:27 It's supposed to be twisted. It's like more vertical, I think, than even a normal skull. So it's like very ovular. Yeah, because there was a big tall brain in there. The brain was tall? Uh-huh. And that person died? Of that, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:47 Of tall brain? Uh-huh and that person died of that yeah of tall brain uh-huh okay lincoln okay so in a way i think it's very cool that it's modeled after well if lincoln if it's lincoln skull lincoln can't be alive if it's lincoln skull lincoln can't be alive in every other room. Like, I just think that is too... Yes. That really confused me. Is there anything scarier than life before Lincoln? Wow. Some of the stuff we were coming up with, I think, was pretty scary. What?
Starting point is 00:21:20 I felt like some of the stuff we were coming up with was pretty scary. Pretty scary. I felt like some of the stuff we were coming up with was pretty scary. Pretty scary. But I guess I'm just not even really comfortable engaging with the idea of, like, yeah, what's scarier, the life before Lincoln? But, like, that's, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:42 And I don't know if having Lincoln alive in a lot of the rooms also gives that message. That's right. I guess that didn't read that didn't read that didn't read to me. Like it's similar to like the lights being on because there's nothing scarier than like the madness around us or whatever.
Starting point is 00:21:53 Yeah. I don't it didn't translate and so maybe if you had a I don't want to pitch a doctor but if a doctor came and explained how scary life was
Starting point is 00:22:01 before Lincoln Right. Or even if lincoln himself could say like i'm very young you know i haven't made a lot of the changes right that i want that yeah that i'm you know that i intend to i guess he doesn't know people people did hate that that the just the changes maybe it was just the tall wheels. People were having a really bad time. Mine?
Starting point is 00:22:29 At the preview? It was thumping. We were getting stuck. It's long. The preview? What is wrong with a haunted hayride being long? How long do you want a haunted hayride to last? 25? 45 days uh i yeah i i think less you know i think less
Starting point is 00:22:52 i think that's just like a culture thing like where i'm from it's like you're just doing that for like a while in the months leading up okay tis the squeezing for the breeze and down the haunted hill ride where are you from island yes i was picking up a little i haven't noticed from island wow i have a friend that's from northern island island i haven't been up there wow so you're from there and and the hay rides are really long yeah so it's a whole season pretty much count on like i don't want to be disrespectful about that at all so and so i actually think that's awesome thanks no it's so cool to learn about fuck yeah aspect of the you know island culture that i was unaware of like that's really cool so that's what they mean when they say they're on island time they mean island dublin okay yeah that's what they mean i thought it meant that they were
Starting point is 00:23:59 just on a like a long ass hayride i have family over there and i'm like realizing like i can never get yes in touch with them during the season yes yeah and it's because they're experiencing just such a long haunted hail ride yeah i feel like a perfect ass well you should just ask more questions to the people that you love in your life. Well, I'm doing that now. Why were there so many shelves? Yes. Nothing on the shelves. They looked pretty new. They looked pretty new.
Starting point is 00:24:45 They didn't. I assume there's some kind of message, again, that I am possibly too dense for. But it was just a lot of empty, like, industrial shelving units. That's a symbol. Very clean. That's a symbol. That's a symbol of the auto industry being gone in the midwest because the shelves are empty that stuff would have been full of car parts tools people's lunches when they walk into the motor store factory okay that's interesting because
Starting point is 00:25:19 we were all trying to interpret it so that was one where i knew i was missing something okay like the lights being on i thought was an error or just part of previews yeah the lincoln thing felt like maybe you just thought he was creepy which maybe would be personal but of course no it is the time before him that's so scary someone in my car my flint i didn't get why they were all flintstones cars i don't think the flintstones are that scary don't associate them necessarily with maybe you think like the flintstones are like scary how we there's nothing scarier than an ugly family you think the flintstones are ugly fucked up faces nasty pervert ugly family kind of scary I guess yeah I guess to you if that actually happened to you that would be that would be insanely scary
Starting point is 00:26:13 fuck me up that's what it feels like happened to me just like basically getting killed by yeah all you try to do is shake his hand and he just like slammed you back and forth over again he's a good slam back and forth over again for the crimes against humanity that you commit me yeah what do you mean look at what just look at a garage just for taking a look the so the people in my car were trying to figure out what the shelves were about that part was really slow I mean there's so many shelves and this thing took 25-45 days yeah there's nothing else to think about
Starting point is 00:26:52 for that like it is a whole so eventually what we all settled on I think out of just like maybe now in retrospect going insane isn't that a little crazy was Marshall Now, in retrospect, going insane. Isn't that a little crazy? Was Marcel the shelf with booze on? Whoa.
Starting point is 00:27:12 That's what we came to. That was like the character behind the shelves. I don't like that because Marcel's not a purse at all. And if you're going to put boo into a name, don't you think it should be a designer? It's only for a purse. Yeah. Okay. Well, we did it with Jimmy Boo.
Starting point is 00:27:27 That's shoes. They have a purse, probably. They probably do have one purse. I think they do, yeah. Hollywood Handbook. Eating better is easy with factors. Delicious, ready-to-eat meals. Every fresh, never-frozen meal is chef-craft crafted, dietitian approved, ready to go

Don't pay hundreds of dollars for private tutors or waste hours on apps that don't really help you speak the language. And the question that I always get, people stop me and they say, like, hey, I trust you. I know when you endorse a product, it's something that you really use and care about.
Starting point is 00:30:24 But there's one language that I'm trying to learn, and that's body language. Can Babbel teach me body language? Yes. Babbel now has visual, in-person lessons. Part of their quick 10-minute lessons that they do for other languages, handcrafted by over 200 language experts to help you start speaking a new language in as little as three weeks babbles designed by real people for real conversations and that includes body-based conversations what does it mean when you drop someone off after a nice date and they turn around
Starting point is 00:31:01 at the door and they take their little index finger, and they kind of draw it towards them. They're pulling it. What does that mean? Does their finger hurt? I wonder if they spotted a spider web or something. They're trying to pull down the spider web. But I've seen this too after a lot of dates, and I need and have needed something like babble to figure out what the
Starting point is 00:31:29 heck is this person doing with their finger because it looks like a it looks like an emergency i know i was supposed to do something or how about those people that stand in the street they're kind of like they've got like almost like police clothes on. It may be police. Almost, yeah. And they're standing in the middle, and as I'm driving and I'm cruising, they're holding their hand up for like a high five almost, and they're really aggressively pushing it out. I'm like, am I supposed to pull over and get out of the car?
Starting point is 00:32:00 Yes, or just do it out the window as I'm going? That's what I've been doing. That seems dangerous. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:34:06 how much it was costing yes that they intended to send me by the way you'll this will shock you 54 dresses if i did not cancel and i you know oh that one's got an end point by like dress 14 15 i think it starts to become clear like these aren't the dresses oh no they were not from the movie they didn't resemble anything from the movie. They were not. They were either way too big or way too small for a human to wear. Yeah. And one of them was a dressing. Yeah. One of them was a vinaigrette.

Thank you.
Starting point is 00:35:46 Finally, one nice thing. Fuck. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of them were good. You had, you know, at least some like Halloween. Like, I would have picked maybe one of the Gremlins rather than just Gremlins era Phoebe Cates. Why? Like.
Starting point is 00:36:05 Why? Why? Like, Why? Why? To me, her behavior, especially in the first film. And which one is Phoebe? Phoebe's the. Okay.
Starting point is 00:36:21 So you did get PB Cates. Same thing with Minnie Mouse. You can't just use that name. So, yes, the character was called PB Cates. PB Cakes. PB Cakes. Yeah. No, that, which was clever.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Thank you. Which one was PB in the film? Which one could that be of all the people? She's the one who's not a gremlin. She's not a gremlin. But don't you think in a little way that we could all become gremlins if we were in the right conditions?
Starting point is 00:36:53 And that could be so scary. Not formally. Okay. That's not at least the story of the movie itself. To me, if that kind of stuff that happens to... So you didn't know who that was?
Starting point is 00:37:03 You just said... I just thought she had a great look character named pb cakes who looks like pb cakes and is standing under a marquee that says gremlins to me it's just a bunch of coincidences it is also a christmas movie i mean it is a christmas movie yeah like die hard that i did i like the die hard installment i i mean i thought it was really cool again focusing so much on bonnie bedelia um well that's actually who is the most scared i think she is the most scared throughout the film that's so funny because we were actually trying to get Amelia Bedelia. Oh, you, okay.
Starting point is 00:37:47 We were trying to get Amelia Bedelia from where Amelia Bedelia is just dropping stuff. That's pretty scary too. If that actually happened to you, you'd be like. Quaking. Pretty fucking scared of like what, just everything she's doing. But it was actually really scary. Everything she's doing is so crazy. Just that somebody is so crazy just
Starting point is 00:38:05 that somebody's so fucking stupid i'm sorry but that's terrifying delia kept having sex with all the abraham lincoln so unfortunately okay i can't imagine what the mistress of the house had requested that would compel her to go i I can't even reverse engineer that into a command. Have sex with all the Abraham Lincolns. There's no way to misinterpret a normal command, which is what Amelia Bedelia does. Well, there's a lot of tripping and falling onto.
Starting point is 00:38:36 Yeah. Okay. I don't think of that as being her thing at all. Are you thinking of Mr. Bean? Mr. Bean Bedelia? Mr. Bean Bedelia? Amelia Bedelia is married to Mr. Bean. at all like trippy are you thinking of mr bean mr bean deal yeah mr bean deal what if it was like can you like yeah no i thought you go wash the lincoln or something and then she starts giving him a bath yeah and then one thing leads to well i mean frankly you know it's a little like the looking conversation we've had where there's uh there's an element of receiving a bath right only really
Starting point is 00:39:08 ends one way yes um smelly kelly skelly did that worked for me i i worked pretty well for me too i didn't think she smelled that bad no uh i i was interested in the smell. I would say I enjoyed the smell, but it was a pungent smell. It was a strong smell. So you like her stink, but not manure. You like her stink, but not manure. I don't know that I would call it a stink. Manure we've never spoken about at all.
Starting point is 00:39:45 Yes, we did. We talked about mulch. We talked about mulch. We talked about mulch. Her feet have skin. That was kind of odd to me. I didn't know what to think about that at all. You don't want feet to have that?
Starting point is 00:40:02 But I had to look. Ew! Ew! think about that at all. You don't want Pete to have that? But I had to look. Ew! Ew! I wish that I could get one good hit.
Starting point is 00:40:13 Just one. That's the wrong way to respond to when I hit you before. Just one hit. That would be wrong for you to do. Alexander the Grape is a candy which i do associate with yeah i think he's one of the otters from the otter pops like that's just what he that's what he
Starting point is 00:40:33 is he's a candy as well you know yeah sure i couldn't tell you what that is okay i don't understand how you don't know how what any of your own characters are. Yeah, it was really... I'm supposed to know what everything is. So you do know what the Flintstones are. Yes, ugly people. Can I ask you this? How often do you think about the Roman Empire? It's like...
Starting point is 00:40:58 That could be good and we could clip it. Let's take that and grab it and we'll make it part of the clips are absolutely promotion for the show please don't use anything from this it's gonna be really bad for my head and hell right if any of this gets out the kind of stuff that i'm saying and doing but it's gonna change ideally we have time for you it's ideally for it's not. Because I am out of money. Ideally, but deal-y. Who was that? Wait, you should be in the haunted hell ride.
Starting point is 00:41:33 That wouldn't cost you anything. That effect, that was really scary. That was, yeah, I don't think it was by design, but Kevin was in my car and he was behind me kind of making little jokes or whatever that did make me jump out of my skin. Because of the content or the volume? Yeah, it was how close he would get to my ear.
Starting point is 00:41:55 It was the way his voice sounded. It was what he thought was worth saying. It worked on multiple levels for me. What would be the scariest thing ever that you could imagine? I want to go back to, sorry, I want to go back to Ideally Babili. Unfortunately, we have to. Okay, now we can move on. What would be the scariest kind of thing you could ever imagine being inside of that experience of the ride of hail that I've created together with so many collaborators?
Starting point is 00:42:32 Okay, well, I've said the status quo already. I established that. That's terrifying. Okay, but that's kind of like your thing outside of the conversation. Haze without makeup? Would love to see that. For once. You know,
Starting point is 00:42:51 and it's again, part of the show is chop busting. Like part of it is that we do give it to each other and I dish it out, but I also have taken a lot of shit today. Yeah. And I've gotten dragged through the fucking mud. Sorry. I've been punished uh
Starting point is 00:43:07 and i think it's funny as hell like it's part of what i love about this it's like it's like how your haunted hill ride sucks well well whatever you know at the end of the, I think you guys are pretty messed up people. Well, it's not the end of the day. We have 10 minutes left. That's at least, what, like 45 hours left of this? We have like 10 minutes left. It might feel that way to you.
Starting point is 00:43:33 It might feel that way to me. It does. Because we're telling the truth to you, which obviously not many people do. I don't want you to tell me the truth. That's very clear. You know what? That's very clear.
Starting point is 00:43:42 And you can go through your whole life that way. I'd love to go through my whole life that way. And I've been go through your whole life that way and i'd love to go through my whole life that way and i've been going through my whole life that way if you think that then i have another truth to tell you which is no no what no that's not what you corny your shit your shit is creepy and it is well established and for you to chime in while we're having a genuine heart to heart. Good, then we're the right person to talk to you about how to make a haunted house freak people out. That's not even a haunted house.
Starting point is 00:44:13 It's somebody who is doing That's not a character. Well, it is a house. They drive the car into different rooms of the house. It drives upstairs. It's a hell ride. It's, huh? It's a hell ride. It's a hill right through a house but that's not a haunted house it's a hell right fine okay okay well if you're gonna tell me at least to have accuracy i'll take that back but if our shit's creepy we should help you with the
Starting point is 00:44:37 haunted hail ride no which is entirely creepy your shit's mean yeah that's true that's true yeah yeah and your shit is actually corny and maybe you're so sensitive about the flintstone because you look just like all of them okay he doesn't look like all of them he does not look like all of them he does not it was played out he looks like dino shit's so fucking played out yeah your shit's so old it's not old it's actually really young what fucks me up is i used to love your shit's so old. It's not old. It's actually really young. What fucks me up is I used to love your shit. And I'm embarrassed when I look at some of the stuff that I used to be laughing at and screaming at. Okay, well, first of all, thank you.
Starting point is 00:45:16 Second of all, I'm sick of your guys' shit. Well, a lot of people are. You can't be sick of my shit. This is the end of 8 Mile, sweetie. I've been sick of my shit on the show, on record, for a long time. Yes, I know. You can't come in here.
Starting point is 00:45:32 I know, because they played your podcast for me when I was in Guantanamo, sweetie. Yeah, well, no. Give her a hat! Yeah. Oh, almost knocked the drink over. Bad pack. Huh?
Starting point is 00:45:48 What's your number? That's what, you remember that movie, What's Your Number? You changed the purse name to a number. I don't know any movies or TV except the Flintstones. You think they're so ugly. Well, that's why. Nothing else is stuck. There was a movie called What's your number uh and it's real kind
Starting point is 00:46:08 of one of your famous lies and i think it was about like the number of what's your body count your haunted hail body and you're bringing a body count to me on a podcast nasty woman and so what what we said we want to get going with the hat pack because we have these hats it's called the hat pack is people can say to each other what's your number it's a number of holes how many holes are in the hat pack hat you know what i mean what's your number i i swear to god before i leave this earth I'm putting you in the ground. All I care about, just leave my eyes above ground. He's got to look.
Starting point is 00:46:58 So I can look up at everybody walking back and forth. Upskirt emergency. Don't wear his skirt to Hayes' grave. And he would be like, okay, one, two, three, and then they both
Starting point is 00:47:14 say their number. And whoever has, I guess, the higher number, which would mean the hat is, has to give their hat. They have to trade hats.
Starting point is 00:47:23 They have to give their hat and they stack them all up on top you get the lower numbers hat yes it's big big little big yes
Starting point is 00:47:30 and they and whoever has the most hats like damn you see that guy walking around with all those hats Bartholomew
Starting point is 00:47:36 in accumbance mode I think it could be so fun to have all the Lincolns doing that am I alright passing around the hats maybe Jillian Michaels is there they got a stack on hat pack fuck bro oh my god have all the lincolns doing that am i all right passing around the hats maybe jillian michaels
Starting point is 00:47:46 fuck bro oh my god i don't want to pack fedora coming along it's too short okay okay i just got the lid the lip don't call it wait can I pitch Mitra a spooky thing in the house? It's better than he was calling it the lips before. Master. Cell phone go off on a hayride. Look at my phone. Are you talking about from before when that happened to her? Well, my dad called me.
Starting point is 00:48:18 Well, it may have given him the idea, but I think he's got another idea for who's calling. Oh, okay. Truth and calm. This is the way Kevin tells stories. I always forget this. And it's always the exact same number of seconds between sentences. That's scary. It's always like that.
Starting point is 00:48:37 Yeah. Cell phone go off on a hayride. Oh, we're starting over. Oh, that's my phone. Okay. So we still haven't seen who's calling yet. Everyone kind of look over. Okay, so you still. I really thought they were going to immediately, yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:58 Laundry's done. I get the notification when my laundry's done. Everyone kind of nod, look back, forward. I go, wait a tick. That's not my laundry. The phone has a picture of your laundry? Yeah, it's someone else's machine. I thought you were going to say.
Starting point is 00:49:22 You got a notification on your phone? No, somebody call it's an app notification smart app the area is not bad it's a smart app well i was it was chilling for most of it not bad i think and there is a little bit of an amelia bedelia element for me too of knowing that someone's fucking stupid with just a hint of rl stein is working on my shit yes but i think like one two two ideas i have one without you realizing it throughout the ride someone changes all your clothes so when you get to the slender man mirror you know like it's like oh yeah i guess i will look in the mirror and first you're dealing with your clothes and you like look down like these
Starting point is 00:50:01 aren't my shoes all my clothes and you look up and he's behind you and he's wearing maybe your shirt and then the other idea was that when you look at who's calling you it's like i don't want to get you in trouble with any licensed characters i know oh so i'll use your version even though i do have notes on it which is friendly kruger is calling you nice guy yeah well nothing scar don't think he should be a guy who seems nice oh boy this is why i am the way i am right kind of take no prisoners no games i don't play games they say they want a nice guy and meanwhile it's like oh yeah well he's too nice he's like friendly kruger or whatever and it's like i'm very straight up like very up front just say hey man i love to look all i want to do is come on
Starting point is 00:50:52 what if you go to get your laundry and you come back and it is just all thongs okay yeah and then what's different about it And what's different about it? It's called Tuesday. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It must be a day that ends in Y for me. It's all thongs in my laundry.
Starting point is 00:51:16 Yeah. Wow. Halloween doesn't. If it is Halloween, people will be like, Halloween ends in N. Yeah. But you don't go on Halloween, do you, to something like this? No. It's usually like the week before.
Starting point is 00:51:27 Yeah. You can. Is it open on Halloween? Of course. It's beyond open on Halloween. Oh, wow. It's actually, you can pay even more. Because it's open for, yeah, 45, 25, 45 days.
Starting point is 00:51:40 Yeah, depending on how long it takes them to get through it. Yeah, if you start one on Halloween. There's just one little wagon, and it's just as long as it takes you to get halloween and you miss thanksgiving oh well hopefully not but we'll see rl stein writer to the very idea of frankenstein's brother being compelled to write such scary stories. Mm-hmm. Yeah. That's the kind of shit that Frankenstein's brother would write. R.L. Stine was the monster.
Starting point is 00:52:13 You're thinking of R.L. Stine's doctor. R.L. Stine's hide. Yeah. Yeah. How's that hat treating you? Stop looking, fucker pervert. Anything with Bob Radley? Like boo my god boo boo bob radley i mean he could definitely take tickets that seems like a guy who's at the front radley bob radley
Starting point is 00:52:40 yeah bob radley was not my favorite part of the hayride I thought it was a reference I guess to presidential candidate Bill Bradley I'm not worried that's where my mind went he was kind of tall Bob Dole was in there like there were a lot of no Bob Dole Bob Dole Bob Dole yeah Bob Dole is all yeah talk about story to tell in the dog so i kept saying doled you so like why wouldn't it just be doled is all why why is it why is it why is it doled is all yeah i don't like it bob doled is all doled is all doled you so like yeah he changed to that at one point and that he's also kind of everyone is kind of like a slender man like Bill Bradley that's normal
Starting point is 00:53:28 no we have all shapes and sizes not everyone is a slender man that's not true even the skulls are like tall and like you only went to the American neck top model early season wing okay okay
Starting point is 00:53:43 okay well let me stop you right there that long thank you no you're not no you're not but i'm i'm doing it in my snl okay okay they might go for that i'll go okay get over here little girl And they'll go, that's his. He doesn't say get over here. He's just looking. He's just looking. And he likes what he sees. People say, you know, when people say I feel seen. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:17 That's because I'm a roach. 2020. Yeah, because I just walked in. 2020 Predator, but also 2020 Vision. They named, yeah, 2020 the show. Yeah, because I just walked in. 2020 Predator, but also 2020 Vision. They named 2020 the show that's about crimes and stuff. That you do. They named it after me. Who else is going to be part of the SNL?
Starting point is 00:54:42 Upcomers? Showcase. No. Oh, I don't care who's on the show i only care about you but you're on there it's me dualipa from pop okay that's the part i said i don't care about the what i said she's showcasing i just said i don't care she's showcasing you have to showcasing it's me and dualipa showcasing Yeah. Because that's what you said. Blue Showcasing. I wanted to know who else you're going to be in the...
Starting point is 00:55:09 I see. Well, Dua Lipa. Dua Lipa, you do a Lipa. Dua Lipa. As part of one of your impressions. I'm going to do a Dua Lipa impression. And then probably a little Albert Einstein in there. A little Oppenheimer. Funny, Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer talking little Albert Einstein in there. A little Oppenheimer.
Starting point is 00:55:25 Funny Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer talking to Albert Einstein. We did a famous episode about that. Oh, can't wait to check it out. Sonic. Now that's scary. Yeah. The guy's driving the car.
Starting point is 00:55:45 Sonic is driving the car. No, no, the guy's driving the car. Sonic is driving the car. No, no, the guy's driving the car at Sonic. That's what I'm going to do. Those guys aren't driving. You think the car's moving? They're eating in the car. I thought they were hurtling down the highway at 600 miles per hour. Their car is stationary.
Starting point is 00:56:00 No, they're not driving. Well, now I have to start over with my conceptual concept that I'm going to be doing. Well, it might be a fun twist on it that they are driving. Like, imagine, we all know they're not driving. But what if? But what if they were? Let's take a look at that. It might be something.
Starting point is 00:56:17 Let's take a look at that. Like what I'm going to do. And laugh at that. And let's all have a laugh at this comedic take on the Sonic men driving. And you would go into your routine. And they maybe eat the burger while they're doing that. And there's even somebody on roller skates involved. And then other than that, I'm thinking about doing like Dave Chappelle.
Starting point is 00:56:43 I'll do the whole special. Wow. Entire special, yeah. Wow. Yeah. They said I could go as long as I want. Okay. doing like Dave Chappelle I'll do the whole special wow entire special wow yeah they said I could go as long as I want the showcase
Starting point is 00:56:49 because it's just me and Dua Lipa showcasing and then I'll probably do an impression of like a towel piece of cloth do you want to do
Starting point is 00:57:00 I mean like this is this is kind of a showcase yeah I mean anything you want me to do like I mean any of those I guess I don't want to like i mean like this is this is kind of a showcase like yeah i mean anything you want me to do like i mean any of those i guess i don't want to like force you into it here's tell okay get over here with one get over here with one this feels a lot like haze like no no no no no
Starting point is 00:57:19 but it was like what her impression was earlier which which I said. Okay, what about this? I'll be Dave Chappelle. Get over here, microphone. Get over here, laughter. Okay, so they're all summoning something. Come, come. Okay. Do a leap up.
Starting point is 00:57:37 Kind of scary. More of the character should have been saying that in the Haunted Hail Ride. This is all scarier than what I saw at the Haunted Hail Ride. Okay. I take the note. Let's do a leap. One kiss is all it takes. Get over here.
Starting point is 00:57:55 Sing that song. Adios. Bye. Bye-bye. Bye. Goodbye. Hollywood Hamburg. Bye-bye. Bye. Goodbye. Hollywood Handbook. That was a HeadGum Podcast.
