It's a uh warm summer Wednesday evening, and everybody in the Midwest knows what that means. It's time for Bible study. So, uh Tanner and uh uh Cody, and why can't I remember Mandy's character's name?

SPEAKER_02

I forgot to.

SPEAKER_01

Nadia are um at the church with Zeke. Um unfortunately, or maybe luckily, for Kalo. He has to work tonight, so he's uh posted up uh at the dam. Uh the hot only eatery in town. Um the hot only eatery in town, uh, washing dishes, um doing doing his thing. Um the damn.

SPEAKER_07

The damn. Hey yo, I I'll be out worshiping God and money.

SPEAKER_01

Right. What whatever you just said.

SPEAKER_07

Scratching and the cheese.

SPEAKER_01

Ah, yes, the scratch and the cheese. Um, I get it. I've been there. All right, so uh I don't scratch too much when I eat cheese.

SPEAKER_07

Just a heads up, too. I at some point I was gonna like refresh myself on 90s patois, yeah, but I didn't. Yeah. So like I may be falling into late 2000s here.

SPEAKER_01

Bro, we're if you recall our session zero, it doesn't matter. We're really don't give it a yeah, we are unstuck in time.

SPEAKER_07

I get that, but like you're just gonna be like, oh, okay, so this is just you know.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, no. It's it's a conglomeration of every shitty white guy who wanted to be a black guy that there's ever been. I get it. I've known a lot of them. I've I've been the been been one at times.

SPEAKER_08

Um I can't say I've ever like been like actually wanted to be a different race. Yeah, but I wanted to be like them because they were cool.

SPEAKER_13

The guys definitely I never wanted to be black, but like I wanted to be like the.

SPEAKER_07

I don't I the guys that I was a the guys that I was around, it wasn't a case where they wanted to be black. It was more just like they were it just kind of like how in in our town we had like one black girl and all the whites. So she kind of ended up being a white girl by default. Like some of these guys just they just ended up being black by default just based on the fact they were like grew up with all black. They were like a handful of white people in a black community, it's like they weren't trying to be black as they're gonna be.

SPEAKER_10

The same phenomenon happens with conquered peoples whenever like a new language gets adopted in a civilization. I I understand the process, but like just I don't know, man.

SPEAKER_08

Like I never I never was looked at a different race and been like, man, it would be so cool to be them. I just wanted to be rich, kind of. You know what I mean? Like yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, I liked their culture when I was a teenager. We're getting off subject. We're a Bible study. No, like this is what happened at the Bible study out there. Oh, I get it. So we're talking about racism?

SPEAKER_08

No, we just talked about random stuff, not about Jesus. I really want Caleb to say that Jesus is black.

SPEAKER_01

Maybe he will later. He's not here right now. All right. So with you uh is Zeke, of course, and then also Billy Johnson, who is uh the annoying church kid that we all know well.

SPEAKER_07

Um does he sniff a lot?

SPEAKER_01

Like uh, you know, well actually guys, um uh Jesus said that you have to love everybody, um, except for those gay kids. Uh he said don't do that. And the what? Poor. And the poor, yeah. We don't we don't wait, what? No, that's pretty Republican. Yes, we don't we don't like them.

SPEAKER_07

Say gay kids or skate kids, because I can see 90s like equally. Uh, them little skateboarding queers. The skateboarding queers. All they do is alleys and butt fucking. That's it. That's all they do. Yeah, but it's like at the same time, it's pretty fucking sick. So uh like mid-aerial.

SPEAKER_01

That's yeah, I'm trying to think of like the super cool middle-aged, uh not middle-aged, but like young youth leader guy. What's his name? We gotta come up with a name. Dylan. Dylan. Oh, that sounds all right. That sounds both 90s and like youth pants.

SPEAKER_08

Hey guys, so today, when he talks to you, he always takes a chair and spins it backwards and like arm over the top. His poor costume.

SPEAKER_07

If he's if he's not, though, he's like the one arm. Yeah, he's in on the knee. Heck, hey kid.

SPEAKER_01

Dylan. Dylan Dylan. Dylan, you signed it. Oh, it's spelled with a Y. No, just Dylan. Dylan. Oh, D-Y-L-A-N. Yes. Alright, so Dylan, uh, he's we'll say he's about 25. Uh ancient. Uh, as as he is an adult, that makes he's useless, uh, probably dangerous, which in a church setting is kind of scary. So it's like 50s movie rules.

SPEAKER_07

Like, you can't trust the adults to do anything except cool Mr. Whipples. Mr. Whipples, like, indeed. Children, use this flamethrower. Who wants popsicles? Who wants popsicles? Like a giant spider movie. You guys know the rules. Get in the basement. Pluffy teens and a barely interested scientist with an electrocutor.

SPEAKER_01

All right. So uh you have your church discussion. Uh, Billy is lame as always. At the end of church, you watch a video about how the peace symbol, this this one, uh-huh, and the actual drawn one are symbols of the devil. I know that this happened in the 90s because I watched it. It's an upside down broken cross. It's an upside down broken cross. Dilla's broke the cross. Villains just like, guys, they broke the cross and they put it upside down because these hippies hate Jesus.

SPEAKER_07

This cracks.

SPEAKER_01

I got panic ended later in the Midwest. I'm on the internet a lot. Yeah. Um you said earlier we probably stay off of that. That's probably a devil thing.

SPEAKER_08

Well, I'm doing it for research for Wednesday nights. Yeah, Tanner.

SPEAKER_10

I know the answer. Uh yes, it is the devil.

SPEAKER_08

I wasn't going with the peace sign, but I appreciate you. Um I'm going more with you said we're supposed to hate the skate kids because they're queers.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, they listen, in Leviticus uh book, Leviticus, uh number something, it says Leviticus your cousin Kalo. It doesn't, it says, don't bang uh dudes. But I got a question.

SPEAKER_07

Kalo's just represented by like a hat on the table.

SPEAKER_08

There's a there's a skate. Oh yeah, a skate maneuver, if you will, a skate trick.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08

Um that's referred to as Christ heir. Well, that's to trick you. Huh? What are they trying to get you to think they're like Christ? Well, they jump in the air, they got a skateboard in one hand, and they go out in T-pose like Jesus.

SPEAKER_01

That seems pretty blasphemous if you're looking at it from my perspective as a guy who doesn't. Bro, if you're looking at it from my perspective as a guy who doesn't want you to enjoy that thing, you really gotta understand how it's bad for you. You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't want you to enjoy it, so it's bad. So I want you to think about this, Dylan.

SPEAKER_08

You want to connect with us? Skateboarding's a thing. Skateboarding is the way if you want to be the cool way to connect. If you want how about this? Why don't you find a way to make skateboarding this? Whoa, you're good idea. I'll be on the forefront. Do it. Uh, I got a skateboard outside. You want to kick flip it?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Hell yeah. What's up, Jesus? Yes, Tanner.

SPEAKER_10

I don't think you should talk about air Jesus like that anymore. Yeah. He's my favorite Jesus.

SPEAKER_01

He's your favorite Jesus. Alright, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Thank you.

SPEAKER_08

I just had to ask you.

SPEAKER_10

They let me hang out, and I don't even have legs.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, the skateboarders let you hang out?

SPEAKER_08

You don't have to skate. You just can't be a dick.

SPEAKER_01

Oh. Well, that's Jesus wasn't a dick. He was and he was specifically anti-being a dick.

SPEAKER_08

And I mean, technically you can't be a poor kid and be a skateboarder. Oh, that's true. It is expensive. Um so really, if that if that group isn't the most Christ-like, uh I don't know who is.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Yep. Alright, so uh we're gonna cut from the uh cut from the church where uh we're discussing the joys of skateboarding, and Billy is just standing there. It's so unsafe, boys. It's so unsafe. It's not safe that skateboarding. You could fall and break your cock cocks. Dylan, he said cock. Dylan, he said cock. Billy, we really need to not use those kind of words. I can't talk to myself. I'm not gonna have a conversation with myself. I got him in trouble. Alright.

SPEAKER_03

We're not getting nobody in trouble today.

SPEAKER_01

We're not getting nobody in trouble today. Alright, uh so uh pan over to the dam. And you and uh you're elbow deep in the sink. Fucking texting each other, motherfucker. Elbow deep in the sink, and uh you hear your pager go off. It makes a ding noise. Like a weird modern ding noise.

SPEAKER_07

SPEAKER_07

Yeah. So uh even though it is a phone call, just instinctively Kalo straightens his shit up, gets the shit all looking good. Goes over the pay phone is like, hey Marty, uh yeah, I got a call and put my 10 cents in. Fuck in the good old days.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, we gotta do that at some point. Someone's gotta make a collect call.

SPEAKER_07

You can do that, you can do that when you're getting picked up from school, but it's hard to do that when you're trying to carry a conversation. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_06

Sorry, that just sounded like I'm going down. I'm bringing you fuckers with us. We're going to dinner together. God damn it.

SPEAKER_01

Before we take you home, so threatening like before we take you home from this church excursion, we're gonna take you out for dinner. Cause we like to show off our money. McDonald's? Uh no, bro. We're gonna take you all to the damn sit-down restaurant.

SPEAKER_10

That is the only restaurant in town.

SPEAKER_01

It is the best only restaurant in town. Oh. Remember my little sister sometimes. Like, now I want to make a t-shirt. The damn the best only restaurant.

SPEAKER_07

We were we were coming back from someplace and she's like, we stopping to eat. She's like, getting hamburgers. She's like, oh, we're going to a restaurant. She's like, sit-down hamburgers.

SPEAKER_01

Sit down hamburgers. No.

SPEAKER_07

Nothing, nothing intelligent.

SPEAKER_01

Just sit down hamburgers. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

SPEAKER_01

Oh, you guys are going out to dinner at the dam.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

It's at the restaurant. The dam. Ha! After church. Well, it's the beaver dam, not the gut damn, it's okay.

SPEAKER_07

I imagine there's a contingent of people in that stupid fucking town that laugh at that same joke.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, I'm sure they drive past it. Hey, you guys want to go to the dam? Sure.

SPEAKER_03

Strawberry shortcake.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. Very random.

SPEAKER_03

It's the 80s.

SPEAKER_01

It's the 90s. Oh, 90s. Still okay. Reruns. Reruns. I was gonna say, as a kid born in the 80s, as a kid from 1990, who was a teen in 1996. I knew girls who liked strawberry shortcakes still, so it's fine. I like I liked bitch pudding.

SPEAKER_03

Um I'm pretty sure I wore strawberry shortcake perfume until ninth grade. Yeah. Then I went to Sierra, then I went to Sunflowers.

SPEAKER_01

I wore uh Cool Water by David Off or smells like cool water because I couldn't afford cool water. And the reason I did that is because that's what Snoop Dogg wore in the song Lottie Dottie. Um so for all the bitches I might take home, I put on the Johnson's baby powder in a cool water cologne because I'm press pressed like a million bucks, you know. You gotta baby powder yourself.

SPEAKER_10

I had a bouquet, a rainbow rainbow body spray.

SPEAKER_08

It's fucking amazing. I don't know if you guys ever been in a like a high school locker room in the 90s. That's what it smelled like police football game. Like an apartment full of immigrants all cooking something at the same fucking time.

SPEAKER_10

They're from different places too. It's not all Oaxian people. You got fucking Afghanistan.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, when you when you can actually sample like 20 at a time, and you can really it's just like, oh wow, everybody does have their own distinct odor.

SPEAKER_13

Jesus, I'm getting a buzz. Alright. That's how thick that fit in hanging on. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

So we're at the dam. Yeah. Uh you guys uh you guys are ordering dinner.

SPEAKER_10

Um percent.

SPEAKER_01

It's been charging for 20 minutes. Um 18 minutes and 43 seconds.

SPEAKER_08

You got me. Based on what my father wants me to do, right? Yeah. I take a look around, I'm scoping out the restaurant. Like does it look like everybody's ordering the same thing? Like, is there one of the things that you're doing?

SPEAKER_01

Well, so the dam is not attached to the um fraternal order. Okay. It's just cleverly named because the school mascot is the beavers, the fraternal order of the beavers on the like you can see from like their like outside dining area, you can see the fraternal order of the beaver. You can see the like the dam that like created the little lake in town, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_10

So like it's just a is there anything to do with the ominous cryptid legend?

SPEAKER_01

And a little bit to do with the ominous cryptid legend. No, not really, but do the millers order for us?

SPEAKER_07

I bet they have a really big steak that like you have to like call ahead of time in order to get it's a big fever. It's just a fucking 72-ounce steak. Yeah, they have a beef squatch of bison steak. Yeah, bison steak. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. 64 ounces of bison pork.

SPEAKER_08

Or are they trying to like want their money and they tell us we can order what we want on the menu?

SPEAKER_01

Uh you can order whatever you want.

SPEAKER_08

I want to order exactly what the millers order.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. 72 ounce.

SPEAKER_10

I guess uh I guess I'll be nice and not order too much then. Paul says we need to grease the wheels.

SPEAKER_07

That means because my wheels run just fine, but I'm picturing Kayla works back in a kitchen with a crew of just Like-minded little uh cobald creatures. So I um every kitchen I've ever known is populated by like these man roaches.

SPEAKER_01

Uh so yeah, basically just uh so like I'm gonna tell I'm gonna give you an exp an explanation of the people uh that are in the kitchen with you, and they may or may not be based on real people.

SPEAKER_07

Okay, uh because I was just gonna say if it's a if there's at least a group of us back there, just while somebody's ordering, just you here from the kitchen. That kitchen's closed. Yeah, something like that. Yeah, six or seven little giggling.

SPEAKER_01

So there's you, who's the you know, 17-year-old teen kid who does the bang of a loud spatula. Yeah. And then uh on the um, so you do the dishes and run a fry station, and then on the flat top grill, you have Alan. Now Alan's 35, but he's got a drinking problem.

SPEAKER_10

Just hammered off the 3.5 beer every single day.

SPEAKER_01

So, like, you know, it's a it's it's a restaurant in the Midwest, so it's got a bar attached, so he's just drinking all night.

SPEAKER_08

This is what I'm picturing. Do you guys remember Pizza Hut in the 90s? Yes, you could buy 3.5 beer, it was a restaurant, they served you.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah. So my brother worked there, uh, and he was Kalo-esque as a motherfucker, and that dude would just pound back.

SPEAKER_13

He'd have the Pizza Hut cup loaded to the brim with 3.5 beer. Yes, and that motherfucker got empty and filled all day long.

SPEAKER_01

All day long, yes. That's Alan. Uh, only Alan's older. Now I didn't mean to hijack. No, you're fine. And then you have uh Jesse, who is basically exactly the same as Alan, but he's about 23. They're just but yes, very much very Kalo-like people. Okay, they may or may not be based off of real people, and then occasionally in the kitchen, but only whenever necessary and when you're really busy, is Buck. Now, Buck is the owner and he doesn't take no bullshit, so the kitchen runs very smoothly when Buck is there. Once again, these people may or may not be based off of real people.

SPEAKER_03

Buck.

SPEAKER_10

Okay. Buck puts on lipstick in the bathroom and nobody's listening.

SPEAKER_03

You are not what is it, Mike? The micro machine guy that would go.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, did I uh say that too fast?

SPEAKER_03

The world's fastest talker guy? Yeah, yeah, but he did the micro anyway.

SPEAKER_07

Oh, I know exactly what you're talking about. I own many micro machines.

SPEAKER_01

Alan is a 35-year-old alcoholic. Jesse is a 23-year-old soon-to-be alcoholic. Uh, Buck is a no-nonsense, I don't know how old he was. He's middle-aged.

SPEAKER_07

Well, yeah, yeah, like I said, I was I wasn't trying to jump in there. I was just trying to say, like, yeah, from the kidneys here. But yeah.

SPEAKER_01

No, you said that as soon as you said it, I pictured the guys that I used to work with. Um Alan. Yes, dear.

SPEAKER_03

Did we forget about Eli?

SPEAKER_01

He's still in the sewers.

SPEAKER_03

He's still in the sewers where we found him. We left him there.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, Alex has been sneaking him food. It's been a couple days. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

I was just I was just I was filling in the gap.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, yeah, yeah. He's I mean, he's Alex said that something. Yeah, house policy is like all the food scraps.

SPEAKER_07

Like they just pull them out to the duck.

SPEAKER_01

I figured we'd we're gonna get the group together as a group here shortly. Sorry. It's all right. We're good. Uh all right, so um dinner's wrapping up. Uh Alex, you catch Zeke on his way to the uh bathroom. And you think maybe if you could convince some of these people that you were friendly with to help you with your task, it might be easier. So, you know.

SPEAKER_07

Hey, yo, um, yeah. Gonna pull out my wallet and take a look at it. And yeah. Klo has Yeah, that's absolutely enough. Right, but at least two people.

SPEAKER_09

Hey. Hey, Z. Hey, what's up, bro? You and a buddy want to make some money? I mean. Or do you want to make a bunch of money?

SPEAKER_07

I mean. And I'm not gonna flight, like, I'm holding.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, no, I get it. You doing the like, I got a 20 on the outside and a bundle of ones on the inside trail.

SPEAKER_07

Russell style, but like not even cleverly.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Um, he's like, I mean, sure, I like money.

SPEAKER_09

I yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I need somebody to like just go down to the dump and like act a fool. Okay. We could probably do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just like, uh, hey, hey, yo, fuck yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_07

I got these fireworks. You want to go down to the dump, shoot off some fireworks? You and a buddy? Sure. Hell yeah. That sounds like a hell of a good time. I'll steal you a fucking beer. You guys go and you you and a buddy go down and party at the dump, but like where I tell you to and when to do it, okay?

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_01

My job is to wash dishes, motherfucker. You can't tell me how to live my life. Alright, so um he's gonna come back to the table and he's gonna look at you and he's gonna be like, yo, Cody. Oh, you wanna go down to the to the dump and shoot all some fireworks? And while he's mentioning that to you, you recall that while you were on your message boards researching the sewer, that inside, like on the edge of the dump is like uh older entrance to the sewer that um people don't use anymore, and it's pretty close to that uh uh on the map where the uh like uh SOS coordinates were coming from.

SPEAKER_12

SPEAKER_01

As once again, as someone who experienced being a Midwest kid at this time frame.

SPEAKER_01

Banquet bottle. Yeah, yeah. Absolutely. Yeah, banquet bottle. Had like the ionic element to the neck in your head.

SPEAKER_03

I used to drink Miller. Blame me.

SPEAKER_10

Specifically because it had the vortex bottle. Yeah, oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01

They told you it was cool. Yeah. I used to drink Rolling Rocks because they were in a green bottle for the same reasons.

SPEAKER_10

The only reason Cam brought Rolling Rock to my house was because he was an underage kid.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08

What? He's like he's like two years younger than that. I was gonna say, yeah. It's not that big.

SPEAKER_07

At this point, statute of limitations is well expired. All right, so all right, so so yeah, plan B.

SPEAKER_09

Plan B.

SPEAKER_07

You uh I'm gonna give you these fireworks. You go down by the uh entrance down this way, right? Nice, nice level patch here, being open, and you shoot off some fireworks. I gotta go run, do some errands, but I'll be back. Uh, I got this last one we like this thing, the the the what they call it, the coot de grace, the big bang, you know, the end. Okay. So I'll be back, I'll be back with the finale, but like I gotta go get it.

SPEAKER_01

So before we go to the uh let's let's play this out story-wise. Um uh we'll go flashback. This is uh him explaining the plan when you guys get to the gate, but before we get to that, um so them you guys are still at dinner with the Millers. Uh so Zeke uh is going to try to convince them that uh to let let him hang out with his buddies tonight, you know. Like um, you know, just let us hang out for a little bit. It'll be cool, you know. I want to get to know him. He's you know, uh, you know, I'm kinda now his his stepparents, they inherently trust Tanner because uh his dad is part of the lodge, so obviously he's a good guy, right? Like they wouldn't let nobody go in the lodge. They know your dad's history, so they're a little leery of you. So they're gonna let him go, but they say that you gotta take Billy with you because they definitely trust Billy because he is the most goody two shoes kid ever.

SPEAKER_08

So uh here's a question. What did Billy eat for dinner?

SPEAKER_01

He let him hold them dinner with a glass of milk, he had uh he had yeah, he had a glass of milk. Andy and cereal. His dinner was he ordered off of the kids' menu. He ordered the chicken tenders with French fries. Poor bastard. Ketchup or no ketchup? Uh no ketchup. It's almost like you feel this bowl, he has no soul.

SPEAKER_07

I respect that he didn't do ketchup, though. Like dipping chicken and ketchup is just if Caucasian wasn't a flavor, Billy is it.

SPEAKER_08

White boy. You just turned those nuggets into beaver-shaped dino punches. Uh yeah, actually, that's kind of what it and instead of ketchup, it's mayonnaise now.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah. I'm picturing like little fish-shaped nuggies. It's it's the welcome to the damn, get the fish nuggies from the nursery.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that the hatchet. I mean, they could be dino-shaped chicken nuggies or uh beaver-shaped chicken nuggies. Yeah. I'm fine with that. So I'm gonna make a menu for the dam. None of this is relevant to anything. I'm gonna find subscribers. I'm gonna make a t-shirt. Instantly.

SPEAKER_08

I am going to start thinking of a way to ditch Billy. Okay.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, John Winchester. T-shirt. Tell you later.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. Cool story. Mark this time frame for stoner moment. Sorry. Alright. That's gonna be a big time.

SPEAKER_03

I did not raise my hand that time. I just started talking like you guys do.

SPEAKER_08

It was wonderful. Um yeah.

SPEAKER_12

I'm gonna lean over to Billy. I'm gonna be like, hey. Um, I heard there's a group of goth kids that don't believe in Jesus. Over in the park. I think you're the only one that can talk to us.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, geez, goth kids. I'm kind of scared of goth kids. They they worship the devil and listen to trying to think of the most benign goth music out there.

SPEAKER_07

They live in that corn stuff. No, it's 90s, right?

SPEAKER_03

It would have been 90s show, like uh they were listening to Aphrodite's Child album 666 on vinyl. Because that's what I was doing in the 90s.

SPEAKER_08

That's awesome. You were a classy goth, though. These these were the No, no, no, you gotta listen to this. Yeah. Out of all the kids. Out of all the kids in Youth Group, Billy, you are the one.

SPEAKER_03

You know, that album is gonna like go if people watch when it's uploaded.

SPEAKER_01

They should watch our show and they should buy that album. I'm gonna look it up.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, so my old best friend is the one who actually still has my actual album and gave it to him when he graduated.

SPEAKER_08

You remember that moment in Youth Group tonight where I paused for a second and it looked like somebody was talking to me, but not really.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08

God spoke to me, Billy, and he said, You need to tell Billy to go convert the goth kids. Whoa.

SPEAKER_01

Um, I'm gonna need you to roll me a charm. Well, hold on.

SPEAKER_08

He goes, he quoted the Bible. Okay, and just like David in the Lion's Den, oh yeah, Billy into the goth kids layer.

SPEAKER_01

Into the goth den. You're right.

SPEAKER_03

His eyes roll back in his head. He's gonna speak in tongues and he's raising his arms up walking with the golf.

SPEAKER_01

I'm gonna have you roll charge, but I I'm gonna let you roll two of your dice. I guess that's the closest thing to advantage. I guess I can get it.

SPEAKER_08

Could I use this fucking bullet? An adversity token? Does that make sense?

SPEAKER_01

Uh you can use it, yeah. You could that would add another dice, so that would total make it three. Three?

SPEAKER_12

Alright, I need three D4s. You might hit me up with one. Alright. Here's that. Oh totaling them up?

SPEAKER_01

Yep. Six. Six? Uh I need my book back real quick, Alex. Sorry.

SPEAKER_07

I'm just trying to figure out what the hell intuitive is. Like, there isn't a listing for what anything. Apparently there is somewhere because I have one thing written down, but my mark not where I thought I had it. There's way more like how to tastefully approach the scene like talking to each other than there is about the actual fucking stats. Like I get it. Like it's it's trying to be fucking whatever, but it's not helpful.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Let me try to figure out Pause. Alright, sorry. We had to stop and take a rules lookup break because I, as with every game, sometimes you gotta do that. Uh it's impossible to uh remember all the rules uh all the time. Alright. So where was I? You were convincing um Billy Billy that he needs to go convert the goth kids. Um, so uh I set your check at a 10. Um, because it's not that hard to convince him to do Jesus things. He really loves it, but you did fail um by one, so he doesn't believe you. But it he knows you're trying to get rid of him. Um, so uh game says you should suffer minor consequences, so uh he's gonna look at you and go, you know what? I know you're trying to get rid of me. And the next time I see your dad, he's gonna find out about it, and he just like takes off on his bike because you have your bikes because you always have your bikes, they're magical, I guess. I'm gonna be all like um okay. But you've you've made an enemy.

SPEAKER_07

You sniffly Brian.

SPEAKER_01

I'm not gonna put up with this shit. I I well he wouldn't say that because he looks like this. I'm not gonna put up with this, okay? I'm you guys are I'm very, very important. Hey, I'm very important.

SPEAKER_08

I understand, but you also look like a peanut would kill you.

SPEAKER_01

And he's gonna, you know, take off on his bike.

SPEAKER_07

So it was before peanut allergies. Yeah. This is like when a peanut flicked at you could kill you. Could kill you, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Alright, so um my spine. My spine. Why is it weird now? Alright, so um, right, let's uh approach. I guess you're gonna go to the uh now we're at the junkyard. Yeah, even though I'm some arms, Tanner. Alright, so uh you guys are at the junkyard. This is what stands before you. You see um, you know, the main gate, like Alex is saying, you see, so through the main gate, you see off to the side the uh the uh the dump part, right? Where the uh the city dump is. Um and then off to the other side is where like the scrapping operations and the impound lot would be. Um you see towards the back of the bo of the dump part the ever-present glow of the trash fire or the dumpster fire or the uh fire fire. Jesus Christ words, all of it, all of it. Um so yeah, this is what you see before you.

SPEAKER_07

Um just the the local culture has to have the food super spicy everywhere, just strong in their mic and just like silver mining in the 1800s, yeah. Just to get the taste of tire fire out of your fucking mouth.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Alright, so um lot of cumin. Alex is telling you guys his plan, which is to light some firecrackers up here while he goes down over there. How do you guys wish to proceed?

SPEAKER_12

Do we know any local lore about this dump other than tire fire?

SPEAKER_01

So you know that the gentleman who uh runs the dump is named Mr. Walker. Um he's he seems like he's been in town forever. The man has to be like he was old, he's been old for as long as anyone can remember. Um, so he's probably like 152 by now. Who really knows? Um, but he's also like a like very large, um, I'd almost call him square-shaped man. Um he's like like six foot tall, just broad shoulders, broad shoulders. Broad shoulders, broad body, not fat. Okay.

SPEAKER_08

Just like you were gonna say beard, and I was gonna be like, hmm. What are we doing here?

SPEAKER_06

He'd be wearing a hat.

SPEAKER_01

He's wearing uh he's wearing a flat hat and he calls himself Bob for some reason instead of Mr. Wolf, no. Bo Bob Boabe? Jumping?

SPEAKER_08

I'm picturing like LA for Bob brands. He calls himself Bobra.

SPEAKER_01

Babra. Um no. Uh just a he's just a large solid dude. You guys, you know, even though he's old, like he still like picks up fucking giant metal shit all day.

SPEAKER_07

When you look at these bibballs, because he is wearing bib overalls. Yeah, I mean, I one one one connected, one knot.

SPEAKER_01

And in the summertime, no shirt under no shirt, no underwear.

SPEAKER_03

There's no and the side buttons are just laying open. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Better ventilation.

SPEAKER_07

Like when you look at the silhouette top of his ass cheek. But when you look at the silhouette of this guy, it's not way more than you want. There's no curve in of the waist, there's no bulge out. Yeah, yeah. It is just like a solid trunk of a rectangle of a man.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Yeah, it's he's a rectangle-shaped man, yes, exactly. Um God, I got good microphones now. I can hear all your shit. Uh so you hear me. Don't make me mute you. I will do it, Bob. You won't do it, pussy. I did. Can you guys still hear me? I mean, I'm back on, so yes I can. But I did mute you for that second when you said you won't do it, pussy. Anyway. Uh so what's the plan? We're gonna just do do as Kalow prescribed, or are we going to look uh Caleb has always been real nice to me and I I don't think it's because he wants to fuck my sister at all.

SPEAKER_07

So it's not all about your sister.

SPEAKER_08

I mean for me it is she's missing.

SPEAKER_07

No, like I'm saying like I'm he doesn't hang out just because he's trying to fucking Aw, thanks Caleb Klo or Caleb K Lo.

SPEAKER_10

His main his name is probably Caleb, but his name is Kenny. His name is Kenny.

SPEAKER_01

We discovered earlier today. His name is his name is Kenny. Oh Lowell. L-O-W. So K L K Lo. So you know K Low.

SPEAKER_08

Very, very good, tasty character building. I like him.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

There's a poor, sad little fuck underneath all this.

SPEAKER_01

Dude, I saw it whenever whenever you were talking to fucking uh Ricardo XL. You're like, oh fuck, this dude could actually kill me if he wanted to. I gotta show him respect. I can't be Kalo.

SPEAKER_07

Kalo's perspective is just like the darkness with those like hairy knuckles holding a phone. Right. Far too small for this giant fucking paw.

SPEAKER_01

Right. All right. All right.

SPEAKER_06

So uh for the last time, Kalo.

SPEAKER_01

So Zeke's Zeke's got a firework. Everybody got a firework, right? Yeah. There's uh four of us. There were six fireworks. Seven. Yeah. No, he kept I handed out six. He handed out six. All right. So Zeke's gonna keep an extra one. Always say one for yourself. Just in case I don't use it, M80.

SPEAKER_07

Suicide capsule, yeah. Uh Jesus, what a weird thing.

SPEAKER_01

So Zeke's gonna be like, all right, so I think the best thing, the best way to do this is if we still have teeth. Set them at different areas and have them explode at different areas, right? So like he looks around. Yeah, what's up to him?

SPEAKER_10

So when I blow up bullfrogs typically, if I want a bigger explosion, I gotta use all of it at once.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, you think we should blow them all up at once?

SPEAKER_10

Yeah, we gotta find a weak point and then just shove it all there.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_10

Like what like a bullfrog's weak point is its butthole. And if you shove two, it is a much larger boom.

SPEAKER_07

If Kalo is present, he is going to like raise a display raise his hand to speak, and then he's gonna like think about it and go, No, I want to watch them stuff six M80s into a bullfrog.

SPEAKER_08

If you just put it around the frog, yeah, like it doesn't have the same explosive. I think at this point we need something uh larger than a blow up against each other.

SPEAKER_09

Got it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

I think we need an oil drum, like one of them barn barrels. Oh, that's a good idea. That would make a big noise.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, so fucking my grandma's barn barrel.

SPEAKER_03

Those you remember those grand firecrackers? All right, uh, so in there, some M80s and light it.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, I don't you guys remember so you get the regular, I mean, I guess you could use M80s too, but you get a uh cast iron skillet, you put like half an inch of water in it, and you get a tin can, and you light the firecracker, you put it underneath the tin can, and when it pops, it'll shoot right up in the fucking air. That's what we used to do.

SPEAKER_10

So uh my dad had a muzzle loader because uh he got he won some raffling at the Charles Arboretum. That sounds like that. So basically they put a deer in front of him and they said you can only kill it with a muzzle loader because it's an arboretum. But anyway, he wound up with a bunch of gunpowder, and me and found it, and it was 4th of July.

SPEAKER_08

And we found a bullfrog, so we found out how much blood black powder we could shove in it. A gallon of black powder and put it in a jug, an uh an old milk jug, and you put fucking artillery shells in that, yeah, and then M80s, and then fucking sparklers coming out the top like a bouquet.

SPEAKER_01

So you used to have four brothers, right?

SPEAKER_13

I no, I still have bits of it. We go to the party, we go to the party party.

SPEAKER_08

And this this is the grand finale. I was wondering what happened to Charlie. This is the grand finale. So we got a bunch of black cats, a bunch of other shit we're gonna light off first.

SPEAKER_13

We get to the fucking slide and put some gravel up there, and we're gonna light off one fucking black cat. One black cat. Put a pile of pig gravel in the slide, put a black black cat over here.

SPEAKER_08

I take the gallon of fucking gunpowder and other explosive shit, and I stick it way the fuck over here, away from this one fucking black cat. I like the black cat. The fuse goes, goes out. I'm like, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_13

And then it goes in mid-air laugh. And fucking lands and run in that gallon chug of gunpowder and other explosive shit.

SPEAKER_08

And there's a fucking crater, and shit is flying at the back of our heads.

SPEAKER_07

What you didn't hear was that firework going Alu Akbar. Yeah. And then doing the sickest backflip. Fucking like the Olympics. So he landed.

SPEAKER_08

Jason, Jason was looking backwards while he's running, hit a park bench, and snapped his fucking leg in half. Oh damn. His leg stayed there, and the rest of them went over the fucking bench. I'm like, ooh. And then a fucking artillery shell hit me in the head. Knocked me the fuck down.

SPEAKER_01

All right. I love the firework days. Yes, they were great. All right, back to uh this firework. So uh you look around and you see, yeah. Um yeah, go ahead.

SPEAKER_08

So we talked about earlier. Do I know from my chat rooms, right? Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_12

I know where the entrance of this sewer is on this end of town, right?

SPEAKER_08

Yes. I'm gonna look around. Okay. And is anything stacked on top of it? It's like a scrapyard, right? So they got cars stacked on top of cars. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Um so you see kind of like, you know, so say it's it's a rectangle shape, right? I mean, I guess we have a map.

SPEAKER_11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Alright, so this is the dump, right? Alright, so uh we'll say the main gate's right here. Okay. The dump kind of runs into the woods here, the tire fire's back over here, the lot's over here. I'm gonna say that we'll put it right here. And it's like a um I don't know what you would call it, like a uh an a you know, like a maintenance entrance. So it's like one of those just like brick buildings with just a door.

SPEAKER_12

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

You know, and then like it'll have a ladder down. Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_08

Nothing stacked on top.

SPEAKER_01

So, but like, I would say there's probably like a board over the door. So, like, you know, you would have to contend with that. So you maybe, you know. You would have to pry, you'll have to pry the door open. You can tell from where you're at that the door will have to be pried open. And I know Kalo's brawn is shit.

SPEAKER_07

I'm rebellious, so I have a plus one to my brawn. Okay. So I can roll a four plus one.

SPEAKER_08

You want to make a big boom, right? I think it's the best approach. And you said if we get a drum, or is it Nadia that said we get a drum? Nadia said we get a drum.

SPEAKER_02

He said we get a drum.

SPEAKER_08

Okay. Or maybe it was Kalo. So we all get a drum.

SPEAKER_07

As he was pebbling off to the distance, like, we gotta get a drum.

SPEAKER_08

Okay. And we're gonna put our distraction at the other end. We need to hide in that shed over there. Okay. That way they go this way. It draws them away from the impound lot, and we hide over there. Okay.

SPEAKER_03

Oh no, and as we enter the shed, we find it's actually just an entrance.

SPEAKER_08

It's a mouth.

SPEAKER_13

It's a shed. Dun dun dungeon.

SPEAKER_07

It's a shed that has a shed inside of it. It's all right.

SPEAKER_03

No, it's an entrance into a roof cellar.

SPEAKER_01

All the underground caves that well, it's literally an entrance to the sewer.

SPEAKER_03

Yep.

SPEAKER_01

That's what it is.

SPEAKER_03

Ha ha ha.

SPEAKER_01

He wasn't paying attention to me at all. I literally said it before you said that, Dork.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I know. Well.

SPEAKER_01

Well.

SPEAKER_03

You have him over here eating a sandwich when you were saying.

SPEAKER_06

I wasn't.

SPEAKER_03

Yes, you absolutely were.

SPEAKER_06

Well.

SPEAKER_03

I bet you it's on video.

SPEAKER_07

Like a cat.

unknown

What the fuck?

SPEAKER_07

I imagine you wonder why you're here, Mr. Bond.

SPEAKER_08

What the fuck? I am absolutely curious. He was over there trying to hit a lighter.

SPEAKER_03

No, he would like.

SPEAKER_13

I did not. I wasn't trying to distract you. You absolutely distracting me now.

SPEAKER_10

I didn't take the sandwich caressingly like this. You absolutely.

SPEAKER_01

He wasn't on camera if he did that because it's behind the thing. Anyway, now. No. Well, even more. Set the boom to go boom.

SPEAKER_10

Boom. Let's figure out our plan here. I'm gonna turn this sandwich into a piece of fruit.

SPEAKER_01

Alright.

unknown

God damn it.

SPEAKER_07

Sorry, I just just I just did the fucking for the guys that worked the other day. It's like I didn't do the first part of the joke. I did the second part. I just walk into them, nothing hyperbolic, nothing. I was like, I'm gonna take this glass and turn it into a dick. Turn it into a dick.

SPEAKER_06

They're like, what?

SPEAKER_01

Okay. Neither here nor there. Yeah. We are trying to figure out how to create explosions inside this trash yard slash scrapyard slash uh entrance to a sewer. Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_07

I'm waiting on them too.

SPEAKER_01

Teamwork makes the dream work. Alex is ridden off uh to where he needs to go. Uh where just rough idea.

SPEAKER_07

So they're down here, right?

SPEAKER_01

That's where they're gonna head. Main gate's here is where the inpound cars are. So I'm gonna say the car is right here.

SPEAKER_07

All right.

SPEAKER_01

That you gotta get to.

SPEAKER_07

Alright, so I'm gonna be trying to like trying to find a spot that like people have scurried under the fence.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, you'll try to find a good Yeah, and I'm waiting on them to start. Okay to move. What are you doing?

SPEAKER_07

Wait a minute. What year was this car?

SPEAKER_01

Well I don't remember what year it was. It was my cousin's car. I want to say a 96. 96. I said the 96 was the year. It was a couple years old, so maybe like a 92, 93. I'm gonna depend.

SPEAKER_03

It had to be well, my sister got hers in 90.

SPEAKER_01

This also might have been later in the 90s, so it could have been a ninety-six and still been a couple years old.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, right, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

While these guys are planning how to make that big booty. My cousin had a that's that's how I know that there's a drug stash spot in it. My cousin had a hopefully my Aunt Annabelle doesn't watch this podcast and my sister's Ryan. I'm ratting you out. I know you ain't watching. She might actually watch. I'm gonna head towards that shed and pry the try to open it up. Okay. I'm gonna work on it. Okay. Willie's trying to pry the shed open.

SPEAKER_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Use your brawn. Give me a brawn roll. Brawn. That's a D6. Mandy, what are you gonna be doing?

SPEAKER_03

While he's breaking and entering. Um I'm just gonna be like walking around the building seeing if there's anything back there. Do I see anything?

SPEAKER_01

Like behind this little building? I mean, it's a scrapyard, so I mean there's nothing behind it. It's just uh I want you to think of this this building, if you will, as literally just like it's literally just a four by four brick building with a door on it. Open that door.

SPEAKER_03

It's a pump house.

SPEAKER_01

Right. There's a it's got the pump in it and then a ladder down into the sewers, yes.

SPEAKER_03

Um you're brilliant. You said it already, and my brain is just on lag.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that's why I have a stoner moment icon.

SPEAKER_07

It's all good.

SPEAKER_01

Six? Six. And that's your best roll, right? That's the max of my so I'm gonna I'm making this um like a kind of using the index card RPG. I'm not gonna you're not gonna fail. You rolled a six, right? So you've pried it, you started prying it, so you're just gonna have to do it again. Yeah, before you get it open.

SPEAKER_08

Um I'm gonna look around and see if there's anything I can use to help me.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. Do you have uh use your uh uh uh brains or ask other smart people? I don't know.

unknown

Oh shit.

SPEAKER_12

That's a 20. Or that's a seven on a D20.

SPEAKER_01

On a D20? Yeah. Um I'm gonna split that. So that's a 20 on a D7. You find a pipe from the right. So I'm gonna give you an adversity because you are gonna fail to find anything. Or you're gonna find something, but you're gonna partially fail. So um you find something that's gonna give you the leverage. Um we're not gonna I'm not gonna give you the failure yet because I want to see what everybody else is doing because it's gonna cause things to proceed. So Mandy, what are you doing while he's trying to get into the pump house?

SPEAKER_03

I well, I say I find him um a section uh, you know, the tubing from chainling fence out of the out of the yard, and he's gonna try and pry with that.

SPEAKER_06

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

So you're looking for something specific. I'm gonna have you run roll your brains as well, because uh you gotta figure out a good good one you can grab, I guess. This one.

SPEAKER_06

Boop boop six.

SPEAKER_01

Six? On an eight. On an eight. Alright, so with a six, I'm gonna say that you find one that you can kind of pull out. Uh, but he has already started prodding with the other thing, so.

SPEAKER_02

Sorry.

SPEAKER_01

Bob, what's Tanner doing? Tanner's gonna help open that bitch. Oh, you're gonna help use his strength to open it. Correct, he uses brawn.

SPEAKER_08

Okay. I need a D20.

SPEAKER_10

What did you it's on the floor somewhere?

unknown

Here we go.

SPEAKER_01

16. 16. Alright. So, uh Willie grabs a uh an old like shovel handle with just like the shovel was no good anymore, so it's just like the shovel with like a little bit of the metal bit left on it, and crams it in. Because he thinks this is gonna be a good thing to use, which I guess it is, it'll work. Because uh Tanner comes over, you know, with his fucking strength and goes to wrench, but when he does, the metal on metal of the door and the shovel makes this horrendous like screaking noise. Um and uh so like in the scrapyard, like scrapyard portion of the dump is like a like a small, like y'all have seen them like uh like you know construction office trailers, you know.

SPEAKER_02

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01

It's one of those, and the lights come on the outside of it, and um silhouetted from the outside, you see this huge square shape of a man uh step out and he goes, Who's in my scrap yard? Uh Kalo, let's do your action while that's our well, you're waiting for the booms. I need to read it. So you guys hear that. Uh what are you guys gonna do? He can't see you yet.

SPEAKER_07

I'm waiting for a distraction.

SPEAKER_01

So if can I hear you hear the screechy noise happen too, yeah.

SPEAKER_07

If I can hear him yelling at him.

SPEAKER_01

And then he, yeah, you hear him start yelling.

SPEAKER_07

Then that's as good as a boom. I'm gonna make my move on the car.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_07

So I'm going to assume that at this point in the 90s, enough safety regulations were being observed that if a car was in the dump, the trunk is open.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_07

97 or Chrysler C bringer, whatever, you can get into a car through the trunk, through the back seats. So I am going to gopher through the car.

SPEAKER_02

Lots of cars you got in back then.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, damn it. I shouldn't have looked at my text, sorry. I have no legs. I have no legs.

SPEAKER_02

I haven't heard that in the morning.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that was a bad time for that guy. He did not like hanging out with those skaters.

SPEAKER_06

I have no legs. It's a miracle.

SPEAKER_01

My friend Chad played that fucking shit for me. Was like, this movie, we should not be watching this movie. This movie is bad for us.

SPEAKER_13

Movie is bad for everybody. He's like, and then Jamie Lake is comedy.

SPEAKER_01

I'm like, you're not getting the right message from this movie, Chad.

SPEAKER_08

Um, I didn't realize why they called him Catherine the whole movie until I was like, oh, oh, oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Oh. Yeah, he's a fucking friendly ghost. Yeah. Anyway.

SPEAKER_07

Whoop, whoop, wah, wah, wah. So yeah, I am going to gopher through the car and uh get at this fake panel. I have got uh your basic uh screwdriver kit that any child carries with them a dime, a nickel, and a quarter. Okay, they fit most standard screen slots.

SPEAKER_01

Let me tell you something about this particular panel. You don't need tools, it pops right off.

SPEAKER_07

Fantastic.

SPEAKER_01

That's what makes it great. That's why we used it. And I'm gonna poppy pop. You you could hide your drugs in there as you were getting pulled over if you were quick enough. Oh, wait, wait, wait. This is a stealth mission. Yeah. You're using stealth mode.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah. And uh uh it is uh absolute t-shirt ninja time. Like he's taking the t-shirt off underneath the shirt and he's and doing the little shamag on his head.

SPEAKER_01

Bro, the so when I was looking for and then put the hat back on this shirt for the 90s factor. I was like, I just wish I could find like a uh coed naked shirt somewhere. Do you remember them fucking that's the most 90s thing? I was gonna say a big Johnson shirt. Or a big Johnson shirt.

SPEAKER_03

Technicolor. The ones that you touch it.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, yeah. That was early on. Oh, yeah, the color change once, yeah. That was yeah, that was we never had that shit at my house because we were poor. All right. Dirt 90s.

SPEAKER_03

I had one, I just remembered them.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Uh anyway, where were we? Uh old man Walker has stepped out of his fucking management office trailer. Get out of. Who's in my scrapyard after Doc? I'm gonna take care of this problem. Kalos diving through the back of this trunk, ninja style. I'm gonna make you roll me uh uh a flight to like uh get through this gate without uh I don't know, repercussions, if you will. Fuck yeah. Flight.

SPEAKER_07

And I can spin an adversity token to add another dice to that. Is that how this works?

SPEAKER_01

If yeah, if you want to.

SPEAKER_07

Okay. Can I decide? Do I have to decide before I roll? No. Okay. That is a seven out of an eight.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. Uh I'll say with that, you can do it. You're fine. I mean, you're gonna make some noise, but like they've already they're already making.

SPEAKER_07

Is it gonna be as much noise as they are making?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, what's your brawn?

SPEAKER_07

My brawn is four.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, never mind. I was gonna say if you could hop fences like we used to.

SPEAKER_01

Well, I was it was more, I'm just was thinking more like uh him trying to do it stealthily. Yeah, how far away?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, we we did. We absolutely did stealthily. You we would run and then we would like and start.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, doing the quick climb, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

The boys would go shh and hurdle, and then they would throw their legs over.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, yeah. I remember doing it. How many, how far away? I don't know how we didn't break our bones from the from the pump house shit. Um, I'd say you're probably a good fifty feet away or so.

SPEAKER_07

Fucking microphone. Plus, there for about 30 seconds.

SPEAKER_01

You're not that bad. I can't hear you.

SPEAKER_03

That's not a bad one Bob does it.

SPEAKER_01

And you're jumping up. No, Bob does get this close.

SPEAKER_03

No, I'm actually screwed up and rubs his mustache on it.

SPEAKER_07

So last dump I saw, like, rats are always a problem at these fucking dumps, right? So like the neighborhood dogs dig underneath the fences. So there was a lot like five or six spots along some of these panels were just like new dog dig outs.

SPEAKER_01

That's kind of what I was thinking too, but like, yeah, you're trying to find the right one and like scurry underneath it. Yeah, yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_07

He's not a strong guy.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that's not his that's not his bag. He's a wee. And he's looking for us.

SPEAKER_08

I'm going to pull the lighter out of my backpack.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_08

Light my M80.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_08

And chuck it. Okay. Lord Humongous? Lord Humongous.

SPEAKER_07

At him or at him? Okay. Um Willy is initiating combat.

SPEAKER_08

I am. Um, what do you want me to roll? Is that a fight? Um, yeah, I guess. Technically.

SPEAKER_03

I'm buzzing.

SPEAKER_01

Alright. It happens. Are you okay?

SPEAKER_03

Rodents have a use unusual size, you know, from principle. That's what we find. You should totally put a picture of that when you guys are talking about red.

SPEAKER_07

Here's the gamble like that would be going into my head.

SPEAKER_01

No, I can make that happen.

SPEAKER_03

That's rock salt principal. Or is it buckshot? Is iconic.

SPEAKER_01

That's very my favorites.

SPEAKER_08

But knowing this guy, bad shit buckshot. Rob, I was gonna say probably rock salt. But buckshot is a very real fucking possibility, too. I got I've just got to this guy have a reputation in town of being a dickhead.

unknown

Huh?

SPEAKER_08

I mean, he's an asshole.

SPEAKER_03

Like, is there some rumor floating around that he's like with rock salt a murderer or anything like that?

SPEAKER_08

I mean, no, he's so you get a little fucking rock salt in your fucking bag.

SPEAKER_01

He's basically known for being scary as fuck. Um like he's not like yes, it's probably like he's never shot anybody, but he's shot his gun into the air many times. That's what I'm trying to add. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08

Now on that work trailer, I'm assuming it's not skirted around the bottom, right?

SPEAKER_01

Uh no. Uh no, his would be skirted. It's like more of a permanent one. Okay. So I mean, I it's summer.

SPEAKER_08

I'm picturing there's an like an AC unit on the one side of the Yeah, it's got one hanging off a window. On that point in time, I'm going to chuck the M80 towards the side of the trailer that has the has the air conditioner on it.

SPEAKER_01

Gotcha. Okay. I like that better than chucking it at him. Chucking a quarter stick of dynamite at a random guy. I'm honestly, I'm not even going to make you roll for that because uh I can't think of a good thing to make you roll because you're not throwing it at him, so it's not fight. I mean, maybe flight to help you run away, but uh so you're gonna throw it. Uh it's gonna fucking pop, boom. Uh I'm gonna boom.

SPEAKER_07

Is that better? No, I'm sorry, I was picturing something radically different. Oh. It just basically is gonna hit. Halo's working, he's fantasizing about blowing up his fucking boss's car.

SPEAKER_01

Right. He's he's expecting a huge explosion, so like he hears this like just regular M80 pop, and he's just like, uh, but it does. It clinks off of the air conditioner, it and that's metal. So as it pops, it does make a louder noise. So he's gonna be like, I'll get you, and he goes walking around the edge. So I'm gonna give you guys time to yes, jump down into the sewer and I don't know, kind of make your okay. Ascapace, if you will.

SPEAKER_03

It's a boom.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, okay. All right.

SPEAKER_03

I don't think it's what you want.

SPEAKER_08

So you're in the you're making your way to towards your car that we know nothing about.

SPEAKER_07

Correct. You guys less you guys know the better.

SPEAKER_01

Zeke is following us, right? Oh yeah, I forgot about Zeke. Yeah, Zeke is with you guys.

SPEAKER_07

The unfortunate part of that means that like he has not planned for a a uh a uh a second thing to happen.

SPEAKER_08

So Tanner, how are we gonna get him down the ladder? Are you just gonna upper body your way down this ladder?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I'm fine. Uh so just for purposes of game and uh my own personal feelings about it and not wanting to put situations like that into the game, Tanner can always get wherever he needs to get. With either his strength or his bike or whatever. We're not we're not gonna get away.

SPEAKER_07

I was gonna say we don't fucking talk about it.

SPEAKER_01

The magical power of the kid is parap is is has got a handicap, but he's still fucking one of the crew. Yeah, yeah. Alright, so we're down. If nobody's gonna argue how Scooby can fucking talk right, like I mean he's we have established that he is scaled a water tower many times. Oh, it's very crazy.

SPEAKER_03

He made it all the way up carrying everyone. Sure.

SPEAKER_01

He sure did. I completely forgot. Yeah, he climbed the damn water. And with his gigantism, he had a disability. So his heritage, his body was still fucked up at that point.

SPEAKER_10

His French racial uh heritage was also handicapped.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, crickets. Crickets. I mean, I don't know if I I I listen, I only got 31 subscribers, Bob. I'm not trying to chase away the entire French audience. We could get some French Canadians, okay? It's a potential thing. So we're down.

SPEAKER_10

Sorry, France.

SPEAKER_01

Sorry, Frank.

SPEAKER_10

Take it all back. I take it all back.

SPEAKER_07

All right, it's Belgium we gotta watch out for. Yeah, right? They sent us JCVD. You can't trust them. That's true. I am in Vensayer. Look at me. Anyway.

SPEAKER_08

So we're down.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, you're able you're able to escape. You're able to get into the thing. Bob's able to get down, Tanner's able to climb down. Um uh Kalo, you see them like I I mean I was part of the whole action as they were you saw them open that. You saw him come out.

SPEAKER_07

I picture him looking up as he's like putting the panel back on through the windshield, watching them down the hill.

SPEAKER_01

Kind of, so like, yeah, you're looking over as you're peeking over the windshield, you see kind of the like you are see that like the that like bright flash of uh of an M80 going off. Yeah. So and then you see where they're at. So like, you know, do your thing.

SPEAKER_07

Okay. Uh well, my thing is not getting capped by a drug dealer. So yeah, no, I get that. Um, as far as Kalo is concerned, currently they are doing their part of the plan, which is running running interference.

SPEAKER_01

So he is going to get on his bike and pedal his ass as fast as he can to his fucking like dead drop for fucking um let's say for story's sakes, the only way to get out of the junkyard at this point is to run down that sewer and okay. All right. I need you to go there. I got you. I got you. I get that Kalow is somewhat of a selfish prick. Yeah. But uh so we'll say that uh for purposes of story and to not make it sound like a then I'm going to try and uh he he goes he's going towards the front entrance to check it out. He's kind of scoping things out now. Yeah. And so, like by the gate is no longer.

SPEAKER_07

Okay. The back edge of the dump and get to the pump out.

SPEAKER_01

Um, I guess give me a flight and see if you can do it without without sneaking or without breaking sneak? Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

Do I have it twice? That is a two out of an eight.

SPEAKER_01

Oof.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah. How about that?

SPEAKER_01

Um, so knew the vanilla ice wanna be.

SPEAKER_07

It doesn't sneak well. You're definitely gonna have to use the MA. I do have a fistful of boom. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

You you tend to get it two steps, and as you drag your right foot up, it catches a rock and down.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, there's like a bit of wire hanging on that so you can't.

SPEAKER_01

Shut the fuck up, great little fucking Okay, so failure is bad, but not a disaster. Alright, so he spots you. Yeah. He says, fantastic.

SPEAKER_07

Uh hey, you that lol boy? Uh I got a question for you. Um, and I like the M80 and just say, eat shit. Okay. And I'm gonna throw it over. I got a question for you. Eat shit. All right, and I'm just gonna throw it into a random pile of trash. Okay.

SPEAKER_01

So the M80 hits and pops. Uh I got a question for you. Fuck you. All right, you're able to run away. Uh you jump down. Uh uh. I'm gonna say you have to like rather than climb down the ladder, you're gonna have to do like the uh like kind of slide down it.

SPEAKER_06

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01

So you're gonna have a slightly tweaked uh ankle as well. All right. You're gonna hear uh from the top, you damn kids.

SPEAKER_07

You say slide, I'm picturing fell like the last one. Yeah, well, I was trying to be nice.

SPEAKER_01

Eating shit off the ladder. Yeah, you're trying to climb down it so fast you miss like the last three, and it's kind of like you don't miss them. I don't I'm I'm sure you've done it before.

SPEAKER_07

You like your foot hits them last week, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Your foot hits them, but like you're not doing it on purpose. You're going down them.

SPEAKER_07

Ladder at fucking work. I was coming down it and missed a rung, and it just went down way faster than I wanted to get.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah, that's it's not a good time. Alright, so you guys have now dropped down into the sewer.

SPEAKER_09

Oh hey guys.

SPEAKER_01

Um cool. Did you just try to what?

SPEAKER_09

No, I was uh I thought this guy had more beer. I was like uh trying to find a beer, and uh uh he found me.

SPEAKER_11

So but he he I thought it was us, it was you. What? Never mind, yeah. Yeah. Now I I understand why my mom, my dad doesn't talk to your mom anymore.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that's what I thought. Yeah. Wow.

SPEAKER_09

All right, I don't know. Like, I my mom's scary. My mom's scary as fuck. Like, I get why a person wouldn't want to fucking talk to. I don't want to fucking talk to him.

SPEAKER_11

Like, I get him. Like, I am forced to love him by Midwestern standards, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_11

But it's the cousins that don't really understand that they're more alike than they think at this point in time.

SPEAKER_07

I get it. Each one has the perspective of it's like trying to talk to something that's almost human. Yeah. Like something between chimpanzee and man. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08

When really he is the yang to Cody's yang.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I get it. All right. So you guys are now down in the sewer. Um, or not in the sewer, but in those kind of drainage tunnels that we've that you explored last time. Um you said I'm close to the You know that the that was close to the coordinates where the SOS was coming from, yes.

SPEAKER_08

And I've got, ooh, I have I picked up that walkie-talkie.

SPEAKER_01

Yes, you have the walkie yeah.

SPEAKER_08

Has it started like I'm gonna turn it on. Okay. I've turned it off. I don't have the charger, I don't have D batteries to put it.

SPEAKER_01

Alright, so you turn the walkie-talkie on, and it crackles, and you hear the that rhythm rhythmic SOS. Um yeah, I just think it's gonna be an SOS. Uh danger SOS. Um, you know, something like that.

SPEAKER_08

And it's like the the the Morse code for ants are eating. Is it like tapping on the pipes coming through the ray like the walkie-talkie, or is it like the I'm pressing the button and creating the static?

SPEAKER_01

I would say it's more of the I'm pressing the button. Okay.

SPEAKER_09

Um the intermittent pausing. Yeah, well, the walkie's sorry.

SPEAKER_07

I don't think that time had like a feature you could keep just like beep at the line.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it's that that's what it is. Okay that instead of yeah.

SPEAKER_08

So I notice it. I'm gonna be all like, um anybody remember that map in the room from when we found Eli.

SPEAKER_12

Like there was that big map on the wall. Did anybody else see that? I know I did.

SPEAKER_01

Mandy's like, let me check my notes. I was I mean, I saw pretty baked last week. There's a lot of uh footage of you showing Bob a picture of you being high. It's pretty funny. I'm pretty sure it's I'm pretty sure at one point she holds up a picture to you and she goes, Do you know what this means? And we're all like, What? And she like shows it around, and her it's just like a picture of eyes. It looks like Towly from South Park, and they're just blood red.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, oh, oh, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You know what that was?

SPEAKER_01

Oh well, you had eight too many gummies.

SPEAKER_03

Oh no, no, no, no, no. Well conversation having at the time. Yeah, if you looked, I just threw it away, but at the bottom, I was about to lose my fucking mind and my eyes were crossing, and I was they weren't talking. Go back and look at the subject matter. So I wrote at the bottom of it, this is too much. So it wasn't stoner eyes, it's I am about to lose my shit eyes. Because I was I was I was kind of done listening to a certain topic. Um yeah, that was the topic.

SPEAKER_01

I see.

SPEAKER_03

Oh I was tired of listening to you talk about fisting. I was really fed up. It wasn't stoner eyes.

SPEAKER_01

You gotta be vocal about that shit.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, fed up. I'm gonna say you're gonna have to verbally pull the handbrake on that one. I was fun to stop talking that one. Part of that map.

SPEAKER_03

The map that we yeah, things the map of a ball that stated danger don't go.

SPEAKER_08

Danger don't go.

SPEAKER_01

So no, it's not it's not the danger don't go area. It's the uh the stinky stinky area.

SPEAKER_12

Okay, alright.

SPEAKER_01

The danger don't go now that you've studied the map and uh the sewer system or is really close to underneath the uh uh fraternal order.

SPEAKER_08

Okay, so I'm gonna look around and go, wait a minute.

SPEAKER_11

No, take that back. We're in the stinky area.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it's stinky.

SPEAKER_07

And I'm gonna like kind of look up at the the dump and the tire fire and look back at him. Back up at the dump and like you don't say.

SPEAKER_08

SPEAKER_11

And I want you to realize does this smell like our everyday town to you?

SPEAKER_03

So it's like decay.

SPEAKER_08

Okay. Um yeah, I am living every X-File nightmare Cody has ever had at this point in time. Like dun dun dun. Like, he is replaying the new episode of the Edge Files where the the flank guy, the fluke man, is like living in the sewers. You fluke man. Oh yeah. Uh so I triggered something here.

SPEAKER_10

At this point, yeah, I I had dreams about about X-Files 2, mostly about Sully, but there was one about Mulder that was just not great.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, so you guys just made me think about Supernatural and the living in the police sewers.

SPEAKER_01

And I'm like, all right, so Oh no, it wasn't for pretty good. Uh you guys kind of I mean David Yukami's cute guy. You notice that Zeke is kind of like uh holding his stomach like he don't feel good, like he's kind of queasy.

SPEAKER_09

Oh you good, bro? Hey, I don't I didn't cook it, I just washed the dish with me.

SPEAKER_01

He's like, uh, listen, uh I think there's something that you guys need to know about me, and uh I this might be the right time to show you. Uh it's gonna be kind of scary, and I need you guys not to freak out.

SPEAKER_07

Um exactly the comforting words you want to hear in a sewer. I know, right? Down there by a man with a shotgun. Are your pants gonna stay on for this conversation?

SPEAKER_08

He's not gonna powder is he gonna pull a powder on us? He's trying to rape us right now. What the Tanner? What's happening? We just left church group and we gotta worry about it there. Now we gotta worry about you.

SPEAKER_10

No, we gotta worry about him. Zneek just can't stand.

SPEAKER_01

Listen, I I just need you guys to promise me that you can be cool because this is a huge secret that if it gets out, like there's a lot of danger.

SPEAKER_08

He's one of them gays. You're gonna tell us he's gay.

SPEAKER_01

It's okay. I mean we like you. Yeah, but that's not what I was gonna tell you. Uh I'm cool with it, but just don't gay it up my way.

SPEAKER_07

I mean, I'm not I'm not trying to offense a waistband of like mushrooms and like ammunition or whatever. We're talking this guy's stash, so like he's got no no offense.

SPEAKER_01

Like, I'm not trying to uh you guys are all cool dudes, but neither none of you are my type. Good, good to know. Good to know.

SPEAKER_08

Why not?

SPEAKER_03

Well Yeah, no, he's got his feelings hurt because you don't like him.

SPEAKER_01

Jesus.

SPEAKER_03

Listen, you put him in the fields, bro.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know how to tell you this, but I'm not into the country boys. And he's listen, I just want to be friends, okay? There's nothing. Are you attracted to me? I mean, I'm No. Alright. Tell me the cool thing now.

SPEAKER_08

Your dick.

SPEAKER_01

No, the cool thing is not my dick, I promise you. I just need you to promise me you'll keep a secret. Yeah. Don't tell nobody I'm gay either in this town, because that'll probably be bad for me.

SPEAKER_07

But you know yeah, they'd throw you in the tire fire.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. I feel like this is the 90s and it's still not cool. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

Alright. We don't talk about Kevin no more.

SPEAKER_08

Poor Kevin. Like you have triggered now. Kevin, who? Yeah. The the switch is flipped in Cody's brain. Like, he is now like the conspiracy theorist paranoid has like clicked on. What what do you gotta show us?

SPEAKER_01

Alright, listen. Just follow me. So, uh, and then he leads you down tunnel a little bit. Um and then uh he takes you and you get to this place of the sewer where it's kind of like opens up a little bit. Uh and that that kind of smell of decay is coming from that's this area. Um and as you guys step in, you know, like he's got his light and he goes, uh he's got like a flashlight because it's darker in this area, and he he hands it to Kalo and he goes, Listen, don't freak out no matter what happens. And he closes his eyes, and then when he opens them, his eyes are glowing. And you see a shape come from the far side of the uh come lumbering, kind of like a large, huge, like probably seven, seven, eight foot tall shaped, uh vaguely man-shaped. And as it approaches and it steps into the flashlight, you see that it's not man-shaped.

SPEAKER_07

It's a Solomon Grundy.

SPEAKER_01

It's beaver-shaped. Upright, standing with the body of a man, and the body of a beaver. You guys see standing in front of you the all-powerful beef squatch. So like Yeah, it kind of starts making those noises.

SPEAKER_07

So like you hang out with No. No, the the beef? Yeah. You hang out with the beef squatch.

SPEAKER_01

Well yeah.

SPEAKER_07

Um That's cool as fuck.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

Hey, you wanna get high?

SPEAKER_01

Uh he says yes.

SPEAKER_07

Alright, well, Kalo is gonna start making preparations.

SPEAKER_08

Alright, Kalo's rolling a joint to be drugs with a beaver. Alright.

SPEAKER_10

A man sized a man sized fucking what would like uh I guess the safety same is sentient? Like it's like it's self aware?

SPEAKER_01

Yes. Uh well, let's see how everybody reacts and then we'll get into the I've got

SPEAKER_07

Kalo is instantly charmed. Yeah. God. This is magical. I accept this.

SPEAKER_12

Got so many questions. Um, first off, that's supposed to be a myth.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, he's he's real. Two. Well, kind of kinda real.

SPEAKER_08

You just added another question. Two. What is the shit window with your eyes? Um.

SPEAKER_01

Well, alright. Now it's time for the exposition portion of our day. No, go ahead. Ask your last question so I can answer them all. Three.

SPEAKER_08

Are you him and him you, or you control him, or does he control you? Uh yes. Ultraman. Like I like squatch.

SPEAKER_01

Alright, so he's like, alright, sit down. This is gonna take a while. Um, I heard Stand. My my my birth parents were scientists. And they uh well, quite frankly, they did a lot of experiments, as one would do for a 90s movie and or TV show to create a child with superpowers.

SPEAKER_06

We combined the finest ones. Einstein, Oppenheimer, beef squatch.

SPEAKER_01

So they um they basically genetically created the beef squatch. Didn't do what?

SPEAKER_06

Um, you're good. I watched that upgrade.

SPEAKER_01

Uh they genetically created the beef squatch. So it was kind of like a so I got promoted. You ever seen the movie Twins? Uh huh. Right? Yeah. All right. So it's like a twin situation. Yeah. When they created the beef squatch, there was some human DNA left over, and that was me.

SPEAKER_07

Okay, so my question is which one were they wanting to keep? Which one is the Danny DeVito?

SPEAKER_01

Uh I'm the Danny DeVito.

SPEAKER_07

Depending on what they were going for, yeah. Like, are you I mean no Zeke the is Zeke the Danny DeVito? And like they were basically watches the oh, look at this.

SPEAKER_01

They were basically uh so the mother, my mother couldn't have children, so they were using different DNA combinations trying to create make it work, and they you know, the strong genetic uh birthing strength of the beaver. Sure. And uh children, you know, and um beavers have been known to give it away. Basically, what happened was is it was like it was like a twin thing, you know, like it was one egg and then it split, and I came out human, and he came out Squatchy Beaver Squatchy. Uh so this is my half-brother, Squatch. He can't talk because of the teeth. Yeah. Yeah. Um he's a really cool dude, I promise you.

SPEAKER_07

SPEAKER_01

They think that my brother is some kind of actual like beef squatch that like some kind of like long forgotten legend or some stupid shit like that, and they like plan on doing some kind of like sacrifice or some shit from what he had just told me. With our brain connection that we have.

SPEAKER_07

There's uh there's an obvious correlation that is not click clicking in uh Stoney's head here. Okay. Eventually he's gonna get around to asking, and he's like so there's a real beef squatch. No, they're just like science beef squatch.

SPEAKER_01

No, he's not real.

SPEAKER_07

They're real but he's a real one.

SPEAKER_01

No, there's not a real one.

SPEAKER_07

There was a character that never really took off, but that was they did vignettes for named Beaver Cleavage. Okay. As you can imagine, the vignettes were uh like the old TV show, uh, except for Beaves mom had giant fucking tits. That was the joke. And he was always this was mid-90s wrestling, and McMahon was like, put titties on it.
