00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:19.920
the stairs, or things that go
bump in the night, the name of

11
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:23.680
this place, you would committed your
action defentially out of the rank. Just

12
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:29.680
the night got all right? Welcome
back, our lovers to Midnight Viewing The

with me here in the gallery are from

Dreams for Sale, The Twilight Zone
eighty five podcast, Mister Mike White,

15
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:44.159
Have we met them before? Missure? And from Chronicles from the crypt the

16
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:49.359
former casualty mister Chris statue. But
what if we don't know? If the

17
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:55.319
deeutsy could give, we could be
good and bad. Oh, we're gonna

18
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:59.439
get to that. Here we are
discussing season two, episode seven. This

19
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.680
one aired November the third, nineteen
seventy one, broken into two segments,

20
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:10.639
Midnight Never Ends and Brenda's first selection, a painting suggesting solitude or at least

21
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:16.080
solemnity as viewed during the midnight holler. It tells a tale of two young

22
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:22.800
people caught inexorably in a recurring nightmare, with a finale on the jewelting side.

23
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:29.120
Our painting with the somewhat familiar face
is called Midnight Number Ends and this

24
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.800
is the Night Gallery Now. Midnight
Never Ends was written by Rod Serling,

25
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:38.919
based on a half dozen or so
earlier teleplays by Rod Serling, like five

26
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:42.039
Characters in Search of an Exit and
a world of his own, and it

27
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:46.360
was directed by Janau Schwarz and stars
Robert F. Lyons Chris. He was

28
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:50.560
in Transylvania six five thousand. You
know, Mike hats that movie too,

29
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.360
right, It's not just me this
time around that you get to get to

30
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:59.560
waggle your Transilvania six five thousand,
weener as you realized I'm out numbered.

31
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:02.719
You are outnumbered this time. Heather
Drain ain't here to help you, pal,

32
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:09.520
and Trevor isn't I. It also
starts Stute Susan Strasburg, daughter of

33
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:15.560
Lee Strasburg, who starred in my
favorite TV movie of all time, Mazes

34
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:19.759
and Monsters with Tom Hanks, and
also starts Joseph Perry. It is the

35
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:23.639
story of a motorist and a hitchhiker
with a strange feeling that they've done all

36
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:28.680
this before. And what is that
strange clacking in the heavens? Michael,

37
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:32.680
you think of this one? Oh
man? I I could see that twist

38
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:37.599
coming a mile away, and boy, oh boy, did I really want

39
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:43.000
it to not be that twist.
But it was, and I sat through

40
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:46.120
it and I'm mat How about you, Chris? You know Father Malone.

41
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.159
God, he's winding up. Yeah, I'm winding up, all right,

42
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:54.280
I'm gonna it's I've been doing this
for eight years now, going on nine.

43
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:58.759
It'll be nine at the end of
twenty twenty three. This may be

44
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:03.080
one of the worst hours of anything
I have ever had to watch. For

45
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:09.240
anything I've ever podcasted about, and
you have been privy to a lot of

46
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:13.360
bad stuff that we've talked about together, fatherm alone, and we've been privy

47
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:16.680
to bad stuff that we've all talked
about together on the aforementioned Dreams for Sale.

48
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:21.959
This is, without a doubt,
one half of the worst episode of

49
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:26.879
TV I may have ever seen,
at least up until this point. This

50
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:33.319
episode's twist is so foreshadowed, it's
literally the painting. It's so fucking infantile

51
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:40.240
in what the expectations are from you
as an audience that they can't even be

52
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:45.079
bothered with giving it an interesting twist. It is exactly what they say it's

53
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:47.040
going to be. They don't even
they don't even care about you as an

54
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:53.120
audience enough to do something different other
than exactly what you're expecting as an audience

55
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:56.800
member. And the fact that it's
Rod Serling, yeah makes sense because at

56
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:00.800
this point, Rod, I wish
you would just go away. That's mean.

57
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:06.360
Yeah, Well, this episode segment
is fucking awful. It's minimalist in

58
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:11.759
a way that marmalade Wine was,
but it is as unsuccessful as the worst

59
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.480
segment on this show, which is
the you know, the next episode segment,

60
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:20.319
we're gonna be talking about just the
central premise. Well, okay,

61
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:25.759
Rod Serling's writing a script and we're
watching it in real time. Cool,

62
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:30.360
But you wouldn't have your character say, oh, he's going to open that

63
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:34.800
door now, or like try to
predict the future. It just is that.

64
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:39.240
Why he's confused in the painting is
because the characters in the thing are

65
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:43.040
getting autonomy of their own. Father
Malone, tell us, tell us what

66
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.680
you think, because you you haven't
weighed in on this night, Mary yet

67
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:50.279
I liked it. No, you
did not. You didn't you your fucking

68
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:54.839
joke? Yeah, I kind of
did it. I'll tell you why You're

69
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:59.319
gonna have to because I wouldn't believe
you otherwise. Okay, I mentioned too

70
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.519
Sterling scripts he wrote before that are
basically the same thing. It's five characters

71
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:05.160
search connection, which is great.
It's a great episode. There's There's No

72
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:12.879
Question, which is kind of based
on an earlier play five actors in search

73
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.920
of an author or something, Yes, exactly. And the other one was

74
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:20.959
a world of his own where an
author can create anything he wants, you

75
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:24.399
know, and he records it on
the thing a piece of tape. Remember

76
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:27.600
that, And At the end,
they had a little bit where Rod Serling

77
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:29.279
comes in. He's like, this
is all just a joke, and he's

78
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:30.120
like, Rod, you shouldn't say
that, and he burns it up.

79
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:33.839
The Keenan Wyn burns up the piece
of tape that and Rod Serling disappears.

80
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:36.560
I knew where it was going and
what it was going, but I just

81
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:41.439
liked watching these people, and I
liked those minimalist sets, Like I thought

82
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:46.680
it made more sense because these are
it's a fragmentary world that these characters are

83
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.879
living in because the writer sucks and
like just keeps rewriting them, and he's

84
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:54.920
only ever rewriting them based on previous
stories he had already included them in,

85
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:58.279
so they their confusion is like I
think I was a spy, but then

86
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:02.120
she was just in an earlier story
that he also discarded. In that aspect,

87
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:06.279
I really liked it because I understood
why the characters. Look. It

88
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:12.000
doesn't make sense why they're suddenly conscious, because clearly somebody's writing them to say

89
00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:15.040
these things. So that's a conflict
that doesn't make any sense at all.

90
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:20.399
But the idea of characters kind of
becoming sentient to the point where they know

91
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:25.399
how poor they are because of how
poor their author is. I like that

92
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:28.959
idea a lot. I don't think
it works overall. I think there are

93
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:30.800
some shots that are kind of cool. I don't know. It didn't bother

94
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:33.639
me as much as to bother you
guys. I certainly would not put I

95
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:39.279
wouldn't say anything in the last season, the season seven of Talis from the

96
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:43.160
Crypt is better than this thing.
This, like, you know, twenty

97
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.759
minutes of whatever you got, give
me that, Chris, No, I

98
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:48.959
will. I mean, I'm not
even going to pretend like what you said

99
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:56.439
is wrong, Like you're completely right. It's just this what in anyone's mind,

100
00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:01.439
you know, specifically Rod Serling,
would lead you to believe that this

101
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:03.519
is a story worth telling. Though, That's what I don't understand. What

102
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:09.560
is the point of this story for
us to go? So when a writer

103
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.360
is writing things, the characters have
autonomy and remember no, because that's just

104
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.040
in this story. That's the case. This is not making some sort of

105
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:22.240
grand ruling on fictional characters written large. It's just this story. So it's

106
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:26.959
just it seemed kind of like the
twist was what they were trying to get

107
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:30.560
to, and they worked backwards from
the twist, which is not a great

108
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.919
way to write a script, right, You got to the twist maybe is

109
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:35.799
organic If there is one at all, there doesn't have to be one.

110
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:41.000
I mean, I love time loop
stories. And at first I was hoping

111
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.639
that this was a time loop story. I was like, oh cool,

112
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.279
you know, like, oh,
something different is happening this time, okay,

113
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:50.080
and so what's the trick? What's
going on with this? And then

114
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.519
when it was the character thing.
One of my favorite movies of all time

115
00:08:54.759 --> 00:09:00.440
is John Payss nineteen eighty five Crime
Wave, which was released on video as

116
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:05.080
The Big Crime Wave, and it's
very much an author writing scripts. You

117
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.399
get to see what's inside of like
little snippets of scripts. He can write

118
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:13.720
beginnings and he can write endings,
but he can never come up with the

119
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:18.159
middle. So he's very frustrated.
And he comes up with like three or

120
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:24.799
four different sets of characters, and
they are recast into different things, and

121
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:28.120
you get to see, like Ronnie
Boyle the Elvis impersonator, and this story

122
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:33.279
is this other character and this other
story really well done. Like I said,

123
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:35.759
one of my favorite things in the
world. And then I see this

124
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:41.120
and I'm just like I've seen this
done so many times of these characters kind

125
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:45.440
of becoming self aware and all these
things that I'm just like, it's not

126
00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:48.639
handled well here, Like I've seen
it handled really well, and I've seen

127
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:54.000
it handled and like I mean even
like a like a Carol Burnett's skit where

128
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.679
I'm just like, Okay, yeah, they are in control of the narrative

129
00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:01.120
type of thing. Interesting but not
good. And then I mean, usually

130
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.480
I love Carol Burnett. I just
want to put that out there. But

131
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.200
then you get something like this,
I'm just like, you're not doing it

132
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.519
right. You're not doing it the
right way, you know, like make

133
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:15.080
it one or the other. He
is he controlling them? Are they controlling

134
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:20.720
him? Are they sent him?
Just it was I wasn't happy with this

135
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:22.759
one. You know, even that
Will Ferrell movie is better than this and

136
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.639
it has its stranger than fiction.
Yeah, it's the same premise, like

137
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:33.279
you, this character exists separate from
stories or in tandem with stories, or

138
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:37.759
he's trying to figure that out and
how he exist. That's again and there's

139
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.600
something to be mined there. And
it's not like this is like a blackout

140
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:45.039
segment and it's all we they didn't
give him enough time. Half of the

141
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.639
god damned episode it's twenty minutes,
so they had plenty of time. I

142
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:54.240
just they paired the time looping thing
with something else, and I think it's

143
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:58.320
one high concept thing or the other, and together they just don't work very

144
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.919
well. I don't disagree with any
of that. If you're taking this on

145
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:05.759
face value as the segment that it
is, then you know it is kind

146
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:09.039
of it is a failure. Okay, I enjoyed it, but that doesn't

147
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.440
mean it's it is good and I
would recommend it. I'm just saying I

148
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:16.519
enjoyed it. But if you view
it through the prism of where Ron Sterling

149
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:22.320
is right now, it's it's kind
of great because it seems like he's almost

150
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:26.279
commenting on the fact that he keeps
doing this. He doesn't even know where

151
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:30.200
these characters are from anymore. He's
just rewriting the same shit, and none

152
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:33.240
of it's good. And where is
his place in any of this, like

153
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:37.600
where he is in his career and
in this series, And if this is

154
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:45.279
him working out his demons about where
he has found himself in the Night Gallery,

155
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:46.879
that makes me like it a lot. It doesn't work as a segment,

156
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:50.679
but a sort of a socio political
examination of road seting. I like

157
00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:56.279
it. Hey, Like, I
appreciate writing things as Catharsis, but like,

158
00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:58.360
what Catharsis is there? Here?
What are you getting at here?

159
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:03.840
You write a coherent episode of your
own show anymore? Yeah, we know

160
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:07.120
we're watching your show, dude,
Like we're watching your show, Like we

161
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:11.320
know it's not coherent. I just
I like you said, like, what

162
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:15.759
is he commenting on other than himself? Right? Look? Yeah, it's

163
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:22.600
indefensible as as drama or as you
entertainment, right as a meta textural comment

164
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:26.919
on his own state of confusion,
though, I think it's sores. But

165
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:31.879
then we'll probably get an episode from
him next time we talk about episode eight

166
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:35.759
that may or may not be good. So what is he commenting on other

167
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:37.480
than he can't do it and he
keeps not being able to do it?

168
00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:41.080
So what are you really commenting on? Rod Serling? I don't understand.

169
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:45.120
I can't do it, but I'm
gonna keep not doing it and wasting your

170
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:46.559
time. Yeah, if this one, this last episode, though, it

171
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:50.200
would be great, right, Oh
for sure. You know we kind of

172
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:54.240
ran into a similar thing on Barney
Miller where they had Jack Sue kind of

173
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:58.120
they had an opportunity for him to
be done with the show and they didn't

174
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:01.240
take it. And this would be
if this were Rod Stirling's final moment on

175
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:05.960
the show, like then that would
be a masters stroke, but it's not.

176
00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:09.279
So it's a prout as far from
it it being his last thing with

177
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:11.960
the show as possible. Yeah,
this is chift that shuffled this down to

178
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:16.840
the end of season three and then
right could question could this have worked as

179
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:20.240
a Twilight Zone episode. It did. It worked a couple of times.

180
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:24.799
So there you go. There's I
think it's just I think it's also maybe

181
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:28.240
the third or fourth retread of it
is just old news. Now, dude,

182
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:33.120
Like, come on, hold the
horses statue. They're held, okay,

183
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:37.240
because you know, in each of
the episodes, I'm trying to shine

184
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:41.360
a spotlight on some of our lesser
known members of the Night Gallery family in

185
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:45.080
this one. Don't hold it.
Don't hold the next segment against him because

186
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:46.600
his writing is not bad here,
But I want to talk about Douglas Hayes

187
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:52.399
because this is his last contribution to
Night Gallery. He wrote and directed The

188
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:58.519
dead Man in season one and wrote
the Housekeeper under his um The Housekeepers one

189
00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:01.320
with Larry Hagman, which was really
kind of fun and weird. Oh yeah,

190
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:03.879
yeah, now this guy, Doug
hay is. One of his first

191
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:09.159
gigs writing and directing on television was
First Circus Boy, which is a deep,

192
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:13.720
deep cut for monkeys fans. Gelins
is a little Boy. He spent

193
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:18.000
the majority of the fifties writing Rin
Tin Tin, which is forty six episodes

194
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:22.200
of that. He was actually nominated
for WGA Award for that. He was

195
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.360
also nominated for a WGA Award for
his work on Maverick, the original Maverick

196
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:31.039
television series. But his relationship with
round Sterling began in the sixties on twilight

197
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:35.960
Zone. He directed The After Hours, he directed I of the Beholder,

198
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:41.799
he directed The Invaders, and he
directed my absolute favorite episode of the Twilight

199
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:46.759
Zone, The Howling Man. When
Twilight Zone went away, he started writing

200
00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:50.279
features and directing them. He wrote
and directed Kitten with a Whip, the

201
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:52.919
sixty six version of bo Jest,
and then wrote the screenplay for Ice Station

202
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:56.759
Zebra, which is a great fucking
movie. Later on in his life in

203
00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:01.840
the in the eighties that remember that
North and Mouth mini series that was Douglas

204
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:05.720
Hayes. He was a sculptor and
a painter and a novelist, and he

205
00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:09.279
also produced Douglas Hayes Junior, who
is an actor and writer, and he

206
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:13.080
wrote a bunch of episodes of Far
Escape, Rockney O'Bannon's TV show, which

207
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:15.960
is to me the gold standard in
science fiction. Anyway, just wanted to

208
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:18.759
shout out to Douglas Hayes, and
I'm sorry, mister Hayes, because we're

209
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:24.200
now going to talk about Brenda.
There was something rather remarkable in the scope

210
00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:30.279
of imagination, peculiar to children.
They project and dream and fantasize with duty

211
00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:33.799
and simplicity and faith and amount of
it somehow eludes this as we grow older.

212
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:39.840
This is Brenda, and Brenda has
a playmate. It comes to her

213
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.279
in part because of loneliness. And
what I wish for you is that you'll

214
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:50.200
never get that lonely. This was
written by Matthew Howard, Douglas Hayes's pen

215
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:54.519
name, based in the short story
by Margaret Saint Clair, who also provided

216
00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:56.759
the story for the boy who predicted
earthquakes at the beginning of the season,

217
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:00.799
and it was directed by Alan Rye, who was also a Twilight Zune directory

218
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:07.519
did mister Denton on Doomsday. It
stars Laurie Prang, she's nineteen here,

219
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:14.639
Glenn Corbett, he was Zephy from
Cochrane once first the Ogs that from Cochrane.

220
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.480
Also Robert Hogan and Pamela Ferdan,
who I think we're going to talk

221
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:22.720
about a little because she is I
think the best thing in the episode,

222
00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:26.840
and it's a real goddamn shame she's
not the lead. It also stars a

223
00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:30.080
gilly suited trash heap, and it
tells the story of a lonely young girl

224
00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:36.519
who's befriended by a creature who is
just as missus misunderstood as her possibly or

225
00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:41.320
perhaps she's a fucking asshole, and
like calls to like, what'd you think

226
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:44.559
about this one? Chris? You
know, there haven't been a lot of

227
00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:49.320
things that we've watched that I would
consider an affront to my ability to enjoy

228
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:59.879
things. But Laurie Prang's performance in
this is some of the most obnoxious act

229
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:07.960
acting choices I think I've ever seen
in anything. The voice that she's doing,

230
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:14.720
coupled with the dialogue that she's being
asked to deliver, right when the

231
00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:23.640
tide was so low you can walk
across along with a beyond meandering story that

232
00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:30.680
it serves no purpose other than two
I don't know, frankly, uh show

233
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:33.240
us that. Yeah, like you
said, assholes attract assholes? No shit?

234
00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:41.039
Uh? Like I wonder why or
how anyone could have watched the dailies

235
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:44.039
and said, yeah, this is
okay. People aren't going to find this

236
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:48.559
to be a complete nightmare to watch. But it is. And you know,

237
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:52.839
I have seen nothing else with Lori
praying in it. I don't know

238
00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:56.039
if this is her this is her
thing. I don't know if this is

239
00:17:56.079 --> 00:18:00.960
what her acting stylings are, but
this I think is for me, the

240
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:03.880
worst segment of this show up until
this point. This is just some of

241
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:11.359
the most horrific child acting that I've
ever seen, and her dialogue just made

242
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:17.359
me want to turn it off and
save Bottomlane. I tried, but I

243
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:19.279
just couldn't do it. Oh,
you missed your chance. You got one

244
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:23.519
pass. No, I didn't even
want to take it. I suffered through

245
00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:27.039
this for you. Okay, Well
you let me know when you get to

246
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:36.839
that point. Mikel I really wanted
to like this. I was so excited

247
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:42.599
to see the prequel to the Pierre
malfay story in Cold Check that I was

248
00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:45.680
just like, oh wow, this
is fantastic. We get to see where

249
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:49.599
he started from before he went to
Chicago. This is great. And I

250
00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:53.960
was really hoping that he was gonna
eat this braddy little girl after she's teasing

251
00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:59.519
him and gets him in this like
pit and everything, and then it just

252
00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:02.279
goes off the rails. I mean
it was already off the rails to begin

253
00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:06.559
with. I mean it's such a
bizarre story, this whole thing of like,

254
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:08.799
you know, the way that she's
kind of a dick to Pamela ferdin

255
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:14.839
using that bizarro voice and all this
stuff, and then suddenly this monster shows

256
00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:17.960
up and I'm like, Okay,
what am I watching now? I know

257
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:22.119
I'm watching The Night Gallery, but
this just this weird left turn. I

258
00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:26.480
almost got whiplash and the creatures caught
in the pit. I'm like, Okay,

259
00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:32.279
is she gonna feel guilty or something? Is she going to do something

260
00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:37.279
to this creature? The moment when
she comes downstairs and her dad, who

261
00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:42.000
doesn't do anything other than yell at
her, when her dad and the other

262
00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:47.200
guy are there with like torches in
the living room, and I'm just like,

263
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:53.680
what am I watching Oh this is
not good at all, and then

264
00:19:53.759 --> 00:20:00.319
the whole her with the doors and
what's good what's evil? I'm just like,

265
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:04.359
she needs to be put away.
She is a complete sociopath. She

266
00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:08.559
doesn't know what's good and what's evil. This was actually a prequel to the

267
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:14.440
fourth episode of the fourth season of
Sherlock Mike. This is actually just Sherlock's

268
00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:18.000
long lost sister, and this is
the highland that you're stranded on with the

269
00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:23.519
giant trash goblin monster the entire time. This is the actual mind palace.

270
00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:30.799
This is what I'll let you goes
off the rails for me. But yeah,

271
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:34.519
the father yells at her specifically about
good and evil at one point,

272
00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:38.640
like, oh, yeah, one
good, one evil. You can't make

273
00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:41.599
up for good with evil or evil
for good. You gotta pick one than

274
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:48.000
the other good. How do we
know if it does a close? You

275
00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:52.480
know, they've had this conversation so
many times. There should have been a

276
00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:56.720
moment where they go out to look
at the rabbits and they start talking about

277
00:20:56.759 --> 00:21:00.319
feeding the rabbits and her dad just
puts a fucking it's one in the back

278
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:07.319
of her head because it's just like, what in God's name was anyone thinking

279
00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:14.160
when this character was concocted from the
muck of the you know, the amniotic

280
00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:17.519
fluid of creation, Like who was
saying to themselves, I want to create

281
00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:22.559
the most obnoxious child character known to
man like that. If that's not what

282
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:26.480
their intent was, I can't imagine
what they were thinking. Either of you

283
00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:32.480
happen to read the short story by
Margaret Saint Clair. Now, most synopsies

284
00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:36.480
you'll read will tell you it's exactly
like what happens in Ni Gallery, which

285
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:40.480
leads to me to believe nobody's read
the goddamn short story. Because she's a

286
00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:45.559
rambunctious young girl not on vacation.
She lives in like a six family community,

287
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:51.359
and she kind of marches to her
own beat up and nobody likes her,

288
00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:56.799
and she's very, very lonely,
and then this creature emerges, who

289
00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:00.640
is probably a manifestation of either her
loneliness or the fact that she's a child

290
00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:06.119
transitioning to an adult. So this
monster is kind of menaces everyone but her,

291
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:08.079
and then they capture it and they
put rocks in it, and then

292
00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:11.359
she sits by it like a year
doesn't go by, but she sits by

293
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:14.839
it, telling it that she still
loves it, and like wait, it

294
00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:18.279
will wait for it. That seems
kind of like a nice story. It's

295
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:21.519
not spoon fed to you, you
know, you just get the idea.

296
00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:26.160
And she's really really straightforward about what
is happening here. What they in the

297
00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:30.480
scene that Mike that you're describing when
she's let the thing into the house and

298
00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:34.799
it's menacing by just standing there and
doing nothing, and they're all freaking out

299
00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:38.000
and yelling at each other, the
parents. My note was, what the

300
00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:42.480
fuck is going on in this house
right now? Just what? He's got

301
00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:45.880
a flashlight on the thing, so
it's immobilized, I guess. And then

302
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:49.160
he has the wife go call the
neighbor, who then takes his time to

303
00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:52.799
come up. This all happens in
real time, by the way, Yes,

304
00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:56.440
the gun will do nothing. The
gun will not stop it, but

305
00:22:56.599 --> 00:23:00.359
like, okay, they're going to
burn your house down on the island for

306
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:03.480
a while. We don't know.
Apparently it has like these guys are the

307
00:23:04.039 --> 00:23:08.680
neighbor with the rifle like knows this
thing like, which makes it not part

308
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:11.839
of the girl at all, just
this monster that kind of comes so our

309
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:15.799
only clue as to what it is
is what the girl has told us it

310
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:19.319
is and every word out of her
mouth makes me want to kill myself.

311
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:25.599
Laurie prank is nineteen years old.
Okay, I mentioned the other actress,

312
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:30.440
Pamela Forerd and who's in it,
Pamela Ferd and was Lucy Winters on Brady

313
00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:33.839
Bunch Jan's Friend. She was the
voice of Lucy van Pelton basically any Charlie

314
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:38.640
Brown, especially you've ever seen she
was in and the Child Children Shall lead

315
00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:42.400
in Star Trek and guess what,
she's actually eleven years old here, which

316
00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:45.920
is the age of these characters.
And then they went, you know what,

317
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:48.079
No, let's cast a nineteen year
old and have her do a young

318
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:56.200
voice and make all the weirdest sort
of methody choices instead. That'll that'll endear

319
00:23:56.279 --> 00:24:00.599
it her to the audience. Like
they didn't stack the deck against the character

320
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:04.960
enough just by making her a total
fucking asshole. Then they cast the most

321
00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:10.000
unpleasant actress they could ever think of. This is Alan Reisner's fault. I

322
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:12.519
guess the director of it, but
like, I don't know, let's lay

323
00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:18.400
the blame on everybody at night Gallery
unwatchable. Man. I had to watch

324
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:22.880
it twice because I want to be
thorough for this goddamn podcast, but like

325
00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:27.640
the seconds at his wits end here, I had to pass. You guys

326
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:32.759
have it, I don't. And
at one point my girl Amber walked in.

327
00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:34.319
She hadn't seen any of it,
and like she walked in watched it

328
00:24:34.359 --> 00:24:37.680
for thirty seconds. It turned to
me, when who is this horrible person?

329
00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:41.519
It just walked out of the room, and I was like so envious,

330
00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:45.400
as if that real time battle with
the monster. That is not a

331
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:49.079
battle at all. It's just them
yelling at each other and then they shake

332
00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:52.119
some torches at it. I do
want to make one of those newspaper torches

333
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:56.440
though. That seems like a really
irresponsible idea that I like it, but

334
00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:00.519
nice and dangerous, especially indoors.
Yeah, you're bound to burn your own

335
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:06.440
damn house down before you burn any
fucking giant turd with arms. Oh my

336
00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:08.599
god? And what was like?
I know the budget was bad, and

337
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:12.279
I know it's just a Gillie suit
on a giant frame or something, but

338
00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:15.920
hey, what you are being You're
being generous to call it a Gillie suit.

339
00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:22.000
It looks like a bunch of trash
bags. I don't know, what

340
00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:26.200
do you call this creature design swamp
thing adjacent. If swamp Thing was viewed

341
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:30.359
by someone who didn't have glasses on, yeah, and if swamp Thing were

342
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:37.079
played like they just skinned job of
the hunt and put the trash bags on

343
00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:40.640
job and shove it out there,
like that's what it was. And so

344
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:44.440
anyway, my point earlier was like, you know, we spend real time

345
00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:48.039
with them, pausing casts and everything, but we also get how many chase

346
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:52.960
scenes between worldis catch me, I
bet you can't catch me. Why would

347
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:56.240
it want to catch her? Even
if its intent was to kill her?

348
00:25:56.319 --> 00:26:00.839
Just being in the presence of her
until you got to kill her wouldn't be

349
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:04.160
worth it. This is the first
character in the history of cinema, jenn'or

350
00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:08.799
I have inclined to agree with you. I like I was saying, I

351
00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:15.200
can't believe that anybody saw the dailies
and was like this is perfectly okay,

352
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:18.319
Like somebody either somebody was asleep at
the wheel or somebody thought that this was

353
00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:22.640
going to be really funny if it
made it to air, was that it

354
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:26.079
was it irony but just enjoying,
Like I can't wait till this airs.

355
00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:33.799
I can't wait to annoy all of
America. I I that's the question I'm

356
00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:38.319
asking because I whoever was making the
decisions, they their opportunity to make decisions

357
00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:41.920
should be revoked. Somebody's asleep at
the wheel. That's what it feels like.

358
00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:45.400
Yeah, you know, I'm playing
all the blame at Rod here because

359
00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:49.799
this is obviously an author he chose
because he chose one of the other stories

360
00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:53.160
and Doug Hayes is one of his
pounds from Twilight Zone. So I'm gonna

361
00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:57.359
lay all the blame on them.
And why what is this? What was

362
00:26:57.440 --> 00:27:00.720
this? I don't know. I
don't even understand. I don't even understand

363
00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:04.680
the ending, Like I don't I
don't understand what the point? What story

364
00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:08.680
were they trying to tell here?
Because the short story makes sense, got

365
00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:12.079
it? But this like what?
What? What? What did we even

366
00:27:12.200 --> 00:27:17.200
learn by the end that if you're
an asshole, an asshole will also be

367
00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:19.880
found. You will find assholes in
your life and they'll stone it to death

368
00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:23.599
and you'll learn for it. Like
and is there like is there like a

369
00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:27.119
time jump in between? It's the
air, you know, because they they

370
00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:32.640
give us the trees with the leaves
and then no leaves, and then snow

371
00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:36.799
and then leaves again, and now
she's back and she's supposed to like,

372
00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:41.640
like we to what end? Yes, nothing, nothing at all, because

373
00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:45.599
why does it matter? That's why
question if it's if it's a person who's

374
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:48.880
feels disconnected, even if it's somebody
who's an asshole, and that's their rage,

375
00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:52.880
and now they've put their rage under
this rock. And then they're like,

376
00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:56.000
but I still love you, like
I'm waiting for the time, like

377
00:27:56.079 --> 00:27:59.279
I know you're there, and like
if I need you, you'll be there.

378
00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:02.400
Like that could have been a story
too, but that's not that's not

379
00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:06.519
what we got here. We just
we just got a fucking asshole. I

380
00:28:06.599 --> 00:28:08.480
just hate her. Brenda, Brenda, Brenda, what are we gonna do

381
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:14.920
with you? There's two doors,
Brenda, there's two doors. There's two

382
00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:17.759
doors in life. Come on.
Yeah. He does yell at her a

383
00:28:17.799 --> 00:28:19.200
lot, doesn't it, Like,
oh my god, the dad is like

384
00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:23.440
the dad is just that, that's
the crazy thing. Everybody in that family

385
00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:27.880
is just a fucking miserable shit.
Yeah, the dad is just like,

386
00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:33.319
you know what, I can understand
why she's mentally unhinged. Her dad is

387
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:37.920
pretty unhinged too. He has he's
just screaming the entire time. Listen,

388
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:44.240
are you dumb little bitch like Jesus
Christ too? Chill out? I don't

389
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:47.519
know though, if he's always been
like that or if she just broke him

390
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:52.240
because she's awful. I got that. That that the conversation on the beach,

391
00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:56.920
Like how many times have I had
to? Yeah? I like,

392
00:28:56.920 --> 00:29:00.200
where did I go wrong? Like
I don't even want to deal with this?

393
00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:04.240
And alright, like even when he
comes home but they they've fended off

394
00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:08.079
the monster and buried it under stones, and they're walking home and he sees

395
00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:11.559
her in the window, What are
you doing? I want to know.

396
00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:17.400
If I think you need to know, I'll tell you. It's Yeah,

397
00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:19.799
he I guess he must just be
at like WIT's end. Yeah, pushed

398
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:25.680
to the limit by Brandon. We
all were, and we well. And

399
00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:27.720
what I don't understand is like,
how are we jumping a year forward in

400
00:29:27.759 --> 00:29:33.359
time and the dad hasn't just murdered
her? That's it turns out it's her

401
00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:37.680
graves down right, right, or
it's the way it should have been a

402
00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:41.279
year later and it's her grave next
to the creature's grave, right, and

403
00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:44.720
the dad just being hauled off to
jail. Even that would not justify the

404
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:49.400
previous whatever that we had to walk. Ultimately, they needed another segment to

405
00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:55.480
go with the Midnight Never Ends segment. But why did they even film this?

406
00:29:55.839 --> 00:29:59.400
I genuine like the fact that we
can't even suss out what the point

407
00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:03.519
of this was, I think is
just shocking to me. If they had

408
00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:07.359
put this as the first segment and
then followed it with The Devil Is Not

409
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:12.400
Mocked, I would love The Devil
Is Not Mocked. Yeah that's fair,

410
00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:15.480
Yes, yes, that's fair.
Yeah, it would have been like the

411
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:19.079
best reprieve known demand. Right.
Oh, I get to spend time with

412
00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:25.160
Dragula, thank god. Yeah,
as opposed to the walking trash bag.

413
00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:27.640
Yeah. And again like even with
the how terrible she is, Like the

414
00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:36.400
creature design is an affront in and
of itself, it's not. It's just

415
00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:38.759
like what like we you know,
Mike, like you mentioned with the Pierre

416
00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:42.160
Malfe from coal Check, Like we
dragged that in cole check. Yeah,

417
00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:47.759
like and then you know what,
it was well lit here it's like out

418
00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:52.200
in the open, walking around showing
every defect. At least, don't light

419
00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:56.680
it very well. For fuck's sake, keep it in the dark. Yeah,

420
00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:00.480
over and over, like it's a
conversation between her and the thing,

421
00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:04.880
like we need to see give it
some eyes, give it some facial features

422
00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:11.960
of some sort. Yeah yeah.
I mean when I first saw it,

423
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:15.880
other than Pierre Malfey, the first
thing I said was, it's a shambling

424
00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:18.480
mound. I mean, that's what
it looks like. Is the old D

425
00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:22.759
and D shambling mound in the short
story she comes upon it and it is.

426
00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:30.279
It's completely like humanoid. It's just
a mossy thing with eyes and us.

427
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:33.720
It has a dead bird in its
hand, it has digits, and

428
00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:38.240
it's just a weird creature. So
I don't know why that it takes some

429
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:41.039
skinny guy and slap a bunch of
mud on him and go there there it

430
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:45.799
is. There's the muck. Mons
could have been the guy from Twin Peaks

431
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:48.720
season three. We could have been
like, want to light for God a

432
00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:52.920
light? Sorry whichever. Yeah,
I just I want to thank you Father

433
00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:57.200
Malone for sharing this with us.
One of the worst things I've ever seen.

434
00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:00.839
Like nuinely, by the time this
was over, I was like,

435
00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:05.160
I can't believe it, but this
may be the bottom of the barrel.

436
00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:08.160
Remember season seven of tennis from the
crypt or right back at you. Maybe

437
00:32:08.480 --> 00:32:14.319
I think this, I think this
might be worse. No, no,

438
00:32:14.920 --> 00:32:19.440
just just for sheer volume, that's
fair. This is only twenty just week

439
00:32:19.559 --> 00:32:22.480
after week this. You guys watched
it once and you were happy that it

440
00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:27.359
was over. Yeah, this was
like what the happiness came from, the

441
00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:30.759
lack of like, oh, I
don't have to do that again, whereas

442
00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:36.119
I was like, fuck, if
hell exists, Hell is just having to

443
00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:40.680
watch this episode on loop. Yeah, it's just playing scenes, just her

444
00:32:40.799 --> 00:32:45.759
voice over and over again. If
this is this seems like the bottom.

445
00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:49.200
We can only go up from here. Now kill it with fire, God

446
00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:52.519
burn it. Just make sure it
never comes back. All Right, We're

447
00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:54.839
gonna play a preview for the next
episode and we'll be right back to wrap

448
00:32:54.960 --> 00:33:01.839
up. Subject a common enough item
utilized by teenagers and tycoons, the daily

449
00:33:01.960 --> 00:33:06.279
journal, in which we notate the
happenings of our day to day existence,

450
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:10.440
but in this instance, a unique
periodical that doesn't record what was, but

451
00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:16.200
rather predicts what will be. Its
title, the Diary. It's our initial

452
00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:23.079
offering in the night gallery. Our
painting reminds us that there's a strange fascination

453
00:33:23.119 --> 00:33:28.880
of digging holes alongside ancient oaks.
You give the average man a shovel and

454
00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:32.880
an excento map, and the fantasy
has come thick and fast. Pirate gold,

455
00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:38.240
hidden, Confederate treasure, and sometimes
the unexpected and sometimes the unwelcome.

456
00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:47.880
Hence the title Big Surprise, our
final offering, a study in depth of

457
00:33:47.920 --> 00:33:52.920
a gentleman from the acade, seeing
here at the lectern, delivering a most

458
00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:59.759
scholarly treatise this particular class. I
don't think you want to cut the paintings

459
00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:05.599
title. Professor Peabody's Last Lecture.
That's right on the next midnight viewing,

460
00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:08.280
we'll be taking a look at season
two, episode eight that's broken into four

461
00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:13.840
segments. Thank god. Those are
the Diary, A Matter of Semantics,

462
00:34:13.960 --> 00:34:17.360
Big Surprise, and Professor Peabody's Last
Lecture. This is my favorite episode of

463
00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:22.920
night Gallery. We're going to be
watching and it contains my single favorite segment

464
00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:29.039
of the entire series. Wow,
no pressure, gentlemen. Until then,

465
00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:32.039
Where can people find you? Chris
Stashu Weirdingwaymedia dot com. That's where you

466
00:34:32.039 --> 00:34:36.880

467
00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:38.920

468
00:34:38.920 --> 00:34:43.519

shouldn't be listening to them. Do I

469
00:34:43.559 --> 00:34:45.760
have to ask you, Mike?
No, right on. Thank you all
