00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: Theme party the podcast Episode four light Bulbs by Tyler Hurchuk.

2
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: Welcome to Litzburg, the home for all of us light bulbs,

3
00:00:15,039 --> 00:00:17,839
from the Incandescence to the LEDs. We all live together

4
00:00:17,879 --> 00:00:21,960
here in harmony, well sort of. A light bulb's life

5
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,320
is based on their type. If you're lucky enough to

6
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,719
be born in led you've got a long live span,

7
00:00:26,879 --> 00:00:29,879
which means you can do more with your life or less.

8
00:00:30,519 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 3: Leonard, I told you to look for a job this weekend,

9
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,439
but you've been practically plugged into that couch all day.

10
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 4: I've got my whole life ahead.

11
00:00:40,119 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 5: Of me to be productive. Mummy, Relax.

12
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,399
Speaker 2: What's a lazy Sunday when you're shining bright for fifty

13
00:00:48,439 --> 00:00:51,840
thousand hours by s. Incandescence don't really have that luxury.

14
00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:56,679
Halogens shine longer, fluorescence longer still, but none come close

15
00:00:56,719 --> 00:01:01,039
to LEDs. Speaking of which, Incandescence go through life fast.

16
00:01:01,359 --> 00:01:03,759
Think of it like a dog's life compared to humans.

17
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,200
Dogs fly through their development. And speaking of flying, you.

18
00:01:07,239 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 6: A dear, I hope you've been practicing for our warm

19
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,159
up show tomorrow night tomorrow the Fuse Box and then

20
00:01:13,239 --> 00:01:15,079
our big showcase at the Power plant.

21
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 2: That's my mom Philamina. Her and my dad were two

22
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,400
of the most famous daredevil stunt bulbs in Litzberg, the

23
00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:24,959
city that never sleeps. Literally, we can't turn off. My

24
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,040
parents used to sell out stadiums doing death deifying routines

25
00:01:28,159 --> 00:01:30,719
and flying through the air. They loved living in the

26
00:01:30,719 --> 00:01:35,519
public eye. But last week my dad burnt out mid

27
00:01:35,519 --> 00:01:40,359
show a routine flying triple axle corkscrew that didn't work.

28
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,200
The cable snapped and that was that. My dad's light

29
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,640
was extinguished in a flash. My mom was gutted at first,

30
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,280
as anyone would be, but she's bounced back stronger than

31
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,680
ever since then. Remember that dog thing I said, Yeah,

32
00:01:55,799 --> 00:01:59,359
we process stuff quick. She's not heartless, but she knows

33
00:01:59,359 --> 00:02:02,359
that life is sure. And now she's expecting me to

34
00:02:02,359 --> 00:02:05,920
take my dad's stunt place by her side. But yeah, Mom,

35
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,200
I've been practicing.

36
00:02:07,239 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 6: But I uh, what's our first sitting? And we don't sit,

37
00:02:12,719 --> 00:02:20,719
we we shine, we shine. I'm heading out for an

38
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,520
errand I'll be home late.

39
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 2: Love you, Love you too, mom.

40
00:02:24,719 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 6: Oh, and you're responsible for the big finale for the show.

41
00:02:27,719 --> 00:02:29,759
I think you've earned it. It doesn't have to be

42
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,319
perfect for a warm up show at the Fuse Box tomorrow,

43
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,080
which by the way, got pushed up from seven pm

44
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,120
to six pm. But I'm sure it will be and

45
00:02:37,159 --> 00:02:40,120
then at the power Plant show will knock everyone's sockets off.

46
00:02:40,599 --> 00:02:41,199
See you later.

47
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 2: Wait what, Mom, I can't Mom. That's usually how conversations

48
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,960
with my mom go these days. And wait, now I'm

49
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,039
doing the Big Finale. I've got to talk to my

50
00:02:54,039 --> 00:02:54,639
best bulb.

51
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 4: Why the frosted face, Hugh.

52
00:03:03,319 --> 00:03:06,319
Speaker 2: Hallie's awesome. She understands that I just want my mom

53
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,479
to be happy with who I am and who I

54
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,800
am not, and I am not a stunt bulb Mom.

55
00:03:11,879 --> 00:03:14,719
Speaker 7: Stuff Ah, filled the pill.

56
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 4: She must be pumped for your show at the power

57
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:17,560
Plant though.

58
00:03:17,479 --> 00:03:20,159
Speaker 2: Right, Oh yeah, so pumped that she wants me to

59
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,960
coreo the Big Finale all by myself.

60
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 4: That's huge, Hugh.

61
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 8: I mean, oh right, So that means you haven't told

62
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,319
her you don't want to stunt like.

63
00:03:31,319 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 2: Your dad didn't get a chance. She's been go, go

64
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,439
go since my dad burnt out, and I just feel

65
00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:38,159
like she needs to take a second to see that

66
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,400
I'm not him. I'm never gonna be him, and I

67
00:03:41,439 --> 00:03:42,599
don't want to be him.

68
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,879
Speaker 6: Oh that's harsh.

69
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,199
Speaker 2: No, No, not like that. He was this larger than

70
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,439
life personality and an amazing entertainer, and he lit up

71
00:03:51,479 --> 00:03:57,520
stadiums with his tricks and stunts. But but what other

72
00:03:57,599 --> 00:04:00,800
Bulbs just saw him as entertainment.

73
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,599
Speaker 4: And you don't want to be entertainment.

74
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,159
Speaker 2: I want to be illuminary, a guiding light for all bolts.

75
00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 4: Well, I think you're pretty luminous, Hugh.

76
00:04:11,879 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 2: Thanks, Al, And I have to say you always brighten

77
00:04:14,919 --> 00:04:15,319
my day.

78
00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 7: Gross, it's so bad.

79
00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 6: Oh, this place is beautiful, Electric Avenue, the swankiest lounge

80
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:34,439
in town.

81
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,639
Speaker 2: Only the best for you, my dear.

82
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,639
Speaker 6: I always wanted to see Bulbar's choice, and her music

83
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,920
has this effect on me. I'm so excited.

84
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 3: Where's Hugh tonight?

85
00:04:47,399 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 9: Oh?

86
00:04:47,639 --> 00:04:50,639
Speaker 6: Probably with Hallie. Those two are inseparable.

87
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 10: Speaking of inseparable, have you told Hugh that we're seeing

88
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:57,399
each other?

89
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: No, Phil, you.

90
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,439
Speaker 3: Gotta tell him sooner or later.

91
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,439
Speaker 6: I will, I will, I just I don't want him

92
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,639
to think I'm moving on too fast.

93
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 3: Life is short, Phil.

94
00:05:12,399 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 11: Hugh knows that we're not LEDs.

95
00:05:16,079 --> 00:05:17,759
Speaker 3: We've got to make the most of our time. Alt.

96
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 4: You're right, you know what.

97
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 6: I'll tell him tomorrow after our warm up show.

98
00:05:22,519 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 10: Okay, that's exciting. I'm excited. Are you excited?

99
00:05:26,879 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 3: Oh, Tomorrow's gonna be so exciting?

100
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,399
Speaker 6: Okay, timn't a bit there, spark plug.

101
00:05:32,879 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 3: What a guy can't be excited?

102
00:05:35,639 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 10: No, and Hugh must be humped to be performing with

103
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,279
you in the show tomorrow night.

104
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I think so. If he's taking over for

105
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,680
his father, it's only fair that he gets a chance

106
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,600
to prove himself. Plus, if he's stunting, he's not running

107
00:05:51,639 --> 00:05:57,600
around getting into trouble. Trouble is incandescent activism.

108
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 10: What's wrong with that? He wants a better world for

109
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:01,560
his fellow wolves.

110
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 6: Walt, Please, there's no way you can make a difference

111
00:06:05,959 --> 00:06:09,240
on that big of a scale. I just I don't

112
00:06:09,319 --> 00:06:10,519
want him to get hurt.

113
00:06:11,319 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 10: So you want him to take over for his father

114
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,800
who literally burnt out mid stunt?

115
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 3: Walt, Yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah, that was Oh that was

116
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:21,040
too far.

117
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,759
Speaker 2: I just look, I.

118
00:06:22,759 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 6: Know you care about Hugh and I know you care

119
00:06:25,959 --> 00:06:29,560
about me, but please, Calvin's burnout is still a little

120
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,360
too fresh for comments like that.

121
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,079
Speaker 10: Of course, yes, of course it was thoughtless of me.

122
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,399
I'm just looking out for Hugh and you. I want

123
00:06:39,439 --> 00:06:42,160
what's best for both of you, and.

124
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 6: I appreciate that very much. Walt, You've been so supportive

125
00:06:47,519 --> 00:06:50,480
through all this. I mean, who would have thought that

126
00:06:50,519 --> 00:06:54,240
one of my biggest fans would grow to be my boyfriend?

127
00:06:54,680 --> 00:07:00,319
Speaker 10: M Mmm, one over the Philo Maniacs, Walt shot, where's

128
00:07:00,399 --> 00:07:02,000
that million watt smile?

129
00:07:02,519 --> 00:07:04,959
Speaker 6: Oh? You're lucky. You're so cute.

130
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,639
Speaker 10: I can do a mean backflip too. Want to see

131
00:07:07,639 --> 00:07:08,920
a sure, honey?

132
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 6: Whatever you say?

133
00:07:10,839 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 12: Hello, Hello, LEDs and gentle Bowls, Welcome to the Electric

134
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,839
Avenue Lounge for tonight's very special performance.

135
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 4: Oh film, we're home.

136
00:07:42,879 --> 00:07:47,319
Speaker 2: She's not here, Ugh boo, Hot date Errands.

137
00:07:47,879 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 4: That's a weird name for a hot date. Is that

138
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:51,800
a fluorescent name?

139
00:07:52,199 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 2: Oh haha, you're hungry?

140
00:07:55,879 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 4: Huh No not really. Would you be cool if she was?

141
00:08:01,439 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 2: Depends on the bulb. I think the real question is

142
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,920
would she be cool with me knowing she was dating?

143
00:08:08,079 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 13: Good evening? Letburg. I'm Walter Cronklife and this is your

144
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:12,839
evening news.

145
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,759
Speaker 8: We are so cool, Hugh staying in watching the news

146
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:17,759
on a Friday night.

147
00:08:18,639 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 2: You love it.

148
00:08:19,879 --> 00:08:23,439
Speaker 13: President Lincoln Edison Diode will be attending a city planning

149
00:08:23,439 --> 00:08:27,519
meeting at the Sargent Electric Pavilion tomorrow, discussing the future

150
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,439
of his cabinet and what policies he intends to commut

151
00:08:30,519 --> 00:08:33,320
to for the remainder of his time and office.

152
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 2: What's the point, He's just gonna pick a bunch of

153
00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:40,759
out of touch LEDs, maybe a couple Haligen diversity hires,

154
00:08:40,879 --> 00:08:44,080
and nothing's gonna change. Why do you say that, because

155
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,759
that's what they always do, Hallie, That's how it's been

156
00:08:46,799 --> 00:08:51,200
for generations. Didn't you pay attention to mister Centennial's history class.

157
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 4: So make them change?

158
00:08:53,519 --> 00:08:57,039
Speaker 8: What how you know where he's going to be tomorrow

159
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:58,039
at the pavilion?

160
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,039
Speaker 7: Go down there and be illuminary.

161
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,919
Speaker 2: No, I couldn't. I wouldn't know what to say. Besides,

162
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,480
I've got that show with my mom tomorrow that you.

163
00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:08,639
Speaker 4: Don't even want to do.

164
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,919
Speaker 2: I don't know.

165
00:09:11,399 --> 00:09:12,759
Speaker 4: Could you do both?

166
00:09:14,639 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 2: Maybe?

167
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:26,159
Speaker 5: Okay?

168
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 2: Used together Marker's paper.

169
00:09:30,399 --> 00:09:34,399
Speaker 6: Kuie, Hey Mom, sorry, I got home so late. My

170
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:36,600
errands ran long.

171
00:09:36,759 --> 00:09:39,279
Speaker 2: You're a grown light bulb. You don't have to justify

172
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:40,120
why you come home late.

173
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 6: Oh I excited for the warm up show tonight?

174
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 2: What? Oh uh? Yeah, it's it's gonna be great.

175
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 6: I thought we could practice a bit before the show.

176
00:09:51,879 --> 00:09:54,080
I'm really looking forward to what you've got in store

177
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:54,840
for the finale.

178
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,279
Speaker 2: Oh do uh do you actually mind if I just

179
00:09:58,399 --> 00:10:00,600
meet you at the Fuse Box? Ally and I are

180
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,399
going to check out this Incandescent Art installation down by

181
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,159
the pavilion. They're gonna have live music too, and a

182
00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:09,240
farmer's market.

183
00:10:09,759 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 6: Really that sounds awesome. Maybe I should come too.

184
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 2: Oh no, you'd hate it.

185
00:10:16,799 --> 00:10:21,799
Speaker 6: Incandescent art, live music, and Chotchkey's. You basically just described

186
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:22,919
my perfect afternoon.

187
00:10:23,399 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 2: No I heard, it's not going to be all that great. Actually,

188
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,639
we're just going because one of my friends has a

189
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,159
booth and we want to show some support for him.

190
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,080
But other than that, it'll probably be really just bad

191
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:36,120
all around.

192
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 6: Oh well, okay, if you insist. Did you see that

193
00:10:43,399 --> 00:10:47,200
President Diode is speaking at the pavilion today. I thought

194
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,639
you'd be more interested in that than all those arts events.

195
00:10:51,879 --> 00:10:56,879
Speaker 2: What I didn't hear about President Diode at the pavilion?

196
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,799
What a crazy coincidence. Yeah, maybe maybe i'll check that

197
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:07,000
out or something, you know, after the art stuff. Okay, anyways,

198
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,480
I gotta run. Hallie's waiting for me. Love you, see

199
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,240
you later. At the fusebox. Bye, don't forget the show.

200
00:11:12,039 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 6: Gun push up to six pm.

201
00:11:28,639 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 11: With my new cabinet's appointments, we will be guaranteeing a

202
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:37,799
bright future for all of Liitsburg. My ministers want to

203
00:11:37,879 --> 00:11:42,200
hear from you. What ails you? What changes do you

204
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,240
want to see in this beautiful city? What can President

205
00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:48,080
Diode do for you?

206
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,799
Speaker 2: Excuse me, sorry about.

207
00:11:52,279 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 11: The LEDs.

208
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: Oh yep, that's right, my family.

209
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 11: Sorry that my office.

210
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,759
Speaker 2: Sorry, oh excuse me, sorry, right down.

211
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:03,399
Speaker 6: Tower.

212
00:12:03,519 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 2: I wouldn't choose to be this why I was made this?

213
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 6: Right?

214
00:12:05,799 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 11: Okay, I will twist at bit to my PR team

215
00:12:10,799 --> 00:12:11,639
on that one.

216
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 2: Hey, how what did I miss?

217
00:12:14,279 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 4: Shit show? Honestly?

218
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,919
Speaker 6: Yeah, run back to your piartyam Bye.

219
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,799
Speaker 11: We'll be taking no further questions. Thank you for your time,

220
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:26,279
Shine Bright.

221
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,919
Speaker 14: Thank you everyone for your wonderful questions for President Diode,

222
00:12:32,159 --> 00:12:34,240
his team, and I will be sure to take everything

223
00:12:34,279 --> 00:12:36,200
into account with finalized.

224
00:12:35,799 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 2: Terrible did he announce his cabinet?

225
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 7: He actually thought it would be a great idea to

226
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:41,519
start with questions.

227
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 2: It's too bad. I would have liked to hear what

228
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,159
he had to say. Okay, yeah, I know we just

229
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,360
did this all right, Probably would have just been the

230
00:12:51,399 --> 00:12:53,039
same old cabinet full of LEDs.

231
00:12:53,799 --> 00:12:57,519
Speaker 8: Don't forget their token halogen in charge of transportation.

232
00:12:57,159 --> 00:12:58,919
Speaker 2: And not an incandescent insight.

233
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 8: Speaking of insight, is that the president hiding behind that lightmobile?

234
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:04,759
Speaker 2: Yeah?

235
00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 6: What the come on, let's go talk to him?

236
00:13:07,519 --> 00:13:10,799
Speaker 2: What? No, we should definitely not go talk to him.

237
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 14: Oh, yes, this is exactly what you've been talking about

238
00:13:13,399 --> 00:13:16,559
for ages. You want to make the world a better place,

239
00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:19,039
here's the bulb that'll give you that chance.

240
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 2: His security is gonna pulverize us.

241
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 4: His security is nowhere in sight. Actually, hm, weird with.

242
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,399
Speaker 11: Your security at home? They said, Little Paulville make you

243
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,559
look like a man of the people. Well, now I'm

244
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,159
a sitting duck who can't get into his damn light veil.

245
00:13:39,759 --> 00:13:42,200
It's only a matter of time before a gang of

246
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:49,919
those protesters sneak up behind me. What have you all complained?

247
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,960
I'm sure it can be solved without violence, young bulbs.

248
00:13:53,639 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 8: We're not really the violent type, President Diode. But Hugh's

249
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,519
dad used to do a mean triple axle corkscrew.

250
00:13:59,759 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 11: Oh, it's just two of you show time. The best

251
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,039
way to reach my office is to contact my PR

252
00:14:11,159 --> 00:14:16,559
director a pluggy, mister President, Sir, I assure you Pluggy

253
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,720
can help you. You want.

254
00:14:18,919 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 4: He wants to work for you, be in your cabinet.

255
00:14:22,679 --> 00:14:24,639
Speaker 2: I don't know about being in his cabinet.

256
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 11: The cabinet is full of no vacancies.

257
00:14:28,559 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 2: Let me guess all LEDs and one, maybe two halogens.

258
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 11: Actually this term is our most diverse term yet.

259
00:14:37,159 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 7: Wow, three whole halogens.

260
00:14:40,159 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 11: Listen, young lady. You don't know anything about politics, which

261
00:14:44,039 --> 00:14:46,799
is why there are so few halogens like you in

262
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:47,559
my cabinet.

263
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 8: I know a little bit about angry mobs, and it

264
00:14:51,159 --> 00:14:51,720
looks like.

265
00:14:51,759 --> 00:14:55,279
Speaker 7: That one by the stage would love to move You would.

266
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 11: Be a shame if so, keep your voice town. They'll

267
00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,480
cure me if they see me.

268
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,639
Speaker 2: Which is why I want to help you, mister President.

269
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:03,759
Speaker 11: And you are.

270
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 2: My name's Hugh, and yes I'm an incandescent, but so

271
00:15:08,519 --> 00:15:11,240
is most of that angry mob over there, and they

272
00:15:11,279 --> 00:15:14,879
want to be appreciated and seen as equals, not just

273
00:15:15,159 --> 00:15:18,480
side shows or entertainers dancing around for your amusement.

274
00:15:19,639 --> 00:15:22,679
Speaker 11: Well, incandescen so not equal to LEDs.

275
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 8: Wow, look at who's over by this light mobile trying

276
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,000
desperately to drive off.

277
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,159
Speaker 11: Oh fine, fine, Maybe incandescence have more in common with

278
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:34,879
LEDs than I originally thought.

279
00:15:34,919 --> 00:15:37,759
Speaker 7: Don't forget the halogens and all the other bulbs.

280
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:38,919
Speaker 3: You're lucky.

281
00:15:39,039 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 11: I don't know how to get under the term bitemobile

282
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,320
unless I would be long gone.

283
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 2: Now where would you be?

284
00:15:45,279 --> 00:15:45,759
Speaker 4: Right now?

285
00:15:46,039 --> 00:15:50,559
Speaker 14: President diode Shy isn't left yet.

286
00:15:51,879 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 11: Yeah, he's over like mobile.

287
00:15:56,039 --> 00:15:57,639
Speaker 5: That's yeah.

288
00:15:57,799 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 2: What my good friend Hally is trying to show you,

289
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,639
mister president, is that you don't have much choice not

290
00:16:02,759 --> 00:16:04,120
to hear what we have to say.

291
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 7: Watch you try to start that thing is afl Give

292
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:08,120

293
00:16:09,679 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 8: I'll drive you where you need to go while you

294
00:16:11,559 --> 00:16:13,639
here talks about how can you save your ass?

295
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:15,159
Speaker 11: Deal?

296
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:15,559
Speaker 5: Deal?

297
00:16:16,279 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 11: Here's the address?

298
00:16:17,679 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 5: No, no drive, young lady.

299
00:16:30,679 --> 00:16:33,399
Speaker 6: Oh where is that chiky little ball? But I'm gonna

300
00:16:33,519 --> 00:16:34,000
kill him?

301
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:38,519
Speaker 10: Phil, Phil, take a deep breath, Relax. He's got a

302
00:16:38,559 --> 00:16:40,440
lot on his plate, but he'll be here.

303
00:16:40,559 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 6: Curtains are up in two minutes and he's not here,

304
00:16:44,399 --> 00:16:48,639
but I'm here. But you can't exactly fit into hughes leotard,

305
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:49,080
can you?

306
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:51,639
Speaker 4: And you don't know where choreo?

307
00:16:52,039 --> 00:16:56,799
Speaker 10: Who needs huge leotard when I've got my own ha ha,

308
00:16:57,759 --> 00:17:00,440
and who says I don't know your choreo wouldn't be

309
00:17:00,559 --> 00:17:02,200
much of a fan if I didn't.

310
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:08,559
Speaker 6: Walt, Please wait when did you make that?

311
00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 2: That's not important.

312
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 10: What's important is that I'm here for you now, and

313
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,680
I'm sure Hugh would be thrilled to see the two

314
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:15,920
of us dazzle.

315
00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:16,559
Speaker 3: That crowd out there.

316
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 6: Okay, Walter, you're in, you be, I'll go tell the

317
00:17:20,799 --> 00:17:24,000
MC you're filling in. I assume you'll be going by

318
00:17:25,079 --> 00:17:27,519
Walt the wonderful.

319
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 2: You know it?

320
00:17:27,759 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 11: Baby?

321
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,279
Speaker 3: Okay, I gotta get my stretches in real quick.

322
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 7: Ah.

323
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 3: Oh, touch the toes. Oh I work on that. Oh

324
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,000
tight hip flexers.

325
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:46,799
Speaker 2: My goodness, Look, President Diode, what was the last president's

326
00:17:46,839 --> 00:17:50,119
legacy and the one before that? You have a chance

327
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,759
to make real change here. You have a chance to

328
00:17:52,799 --> 00:17:55,839
be accepted by all bulbs, not just the LEDs.

329
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 11: Well you you make some surprisingly good points.

330
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 2: Thank you, sir.

331
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 11: I am prepared to offer you a position in my

332
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,720
cabinet on one condition.

333
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 2: Wow, I that would be amazing. What's the condition?

334
00:18:13,799 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 11: You keep her away from me?

335
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 10: Deal?

336
00:18:17,519 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 2: I think we can make that happen, sir.

337
00:18:19,279 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 11: Oh great Pluggy will be in touch Now you two

338
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,279
make yourself scarce while I get to my next speaking engagement.

339
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:31,799
Speaker 2: Wait where are we? Oh the fuse box. That's actually

340
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:32,640
weirdly perfect.

341
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 11: Oh? Did you have another protest planned for this town

342
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:36,400
hall too?

343
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 2: No, I'm actually stunting with my mom. The show should

344
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,079
be starting soon. I have to get inside.

345
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,319
Speaker 11: I don't think it is Hugh. My town hall starts

346
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:44,839
at seven.

347
00:18:45,039 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 7: That's when Hughes mom's show starts.

348
00:18:47,079 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 11: That's when it was supposed to start, but I pulled

349
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,920
some strings and moved it up. We figured I could

350
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,160
take advantage of the event crowd after they've been wowed

351
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:57,519
by the flying Philomena.

352
00:18:57,839 --> 00:19:02,319
Speaker 2: Shit, she told me about the time time changed yesterday too. Oh,

353
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,160
I totally forgot. She's gonna kill me. Eh.

354
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:13,279
Speaker 10: And now for their thrilling finale with a tourist.

355
00:19:13,799 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 2: They're thrilling finale.

356
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,039
Speaker 4: Who's that guy with your mom?

357
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 10: You?

358
00:19:19,039 --> 00:19:20,839
Speaker 4: Oh? Is that Aaron?

359
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 2: That's what one of her fans or what they're wonderful like?

360
00:19:27,039 --> 00:19:28,279
As Leozard says.

361
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 11: That was electric? Did you see that your mom is

362
00:19:32,279 --> 00:19:33,039
something else?

363
00:19:34,279 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 5: Who?

364
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 14: Well, the wonderful just kissed your mom.

365
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,559
Speaker 2: I guess that is Aaron's Hey.

366
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 3: It's President diode.

367
00:19:45,559 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 11: Hello, my fellow litz Fergers, get in here you too.

368
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,319
This will look great online rubbing shoulders with a halogen

369
00:19:54,559 --> 00:19:57,519
and an incandescent O. My truth of rating with the

370
00:19:57,559 --> 00:19:59,680
people who is going to saw.

371
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 2: And my approval rating with my mom is dropping rapidly.

372
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, she looks pissed at you, Hugh, Thank.

373
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 2: You for that. Helly, Hey, hey, can you talk to me? Look, Mom,

374
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,559
I'm sorry I forgot about the show time change.

375
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:39,079
Speaker 6: That's only half of it you. The other half is

376
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,200
that you blew me off for that out of touch politician.

377
00:20:42,759 --> 00:20:45,440
I can't believe you missed our show to dance and

378
00:20:45,519 --> 00:20:48,079
flip and bend over backwards for him.

379
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 2: WHOA, I didn't bend over backwards or flip for anything. Okay.

380
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,920
I talked to him, Bulb to bulb, and he gave

381
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:55,599
me a job.

382
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:57,759
Speaker 4: You have a job.

383
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,079
Speaker 6: You're a stunt bulb and you're my son.

384
00:21:01,319 --> 00:21:07,759
Speaker 2: I'm not a stunt bulb, Mom, I'll always be your son.

385
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:13,359
But stunting isn't something I want to do. I think

386
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:14,240
you already knew that.

387
00:21:14,799 --> 00:21:19,039
Speaker 6: Maybe I did, but why didn't you talk to me

388
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:19,799
about it?

389
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,039
Speaker 2: I was going to talk to you about it, but

390
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,559
then dad, And I didn't want you to be disappointed

391
00:21:26,599 --> 00:21:30,079
in me. And hey, wait, why didn't you talk to

392
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:31,680
me about Walt the wonderful?

393
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,519
Speaker 6: He's just a fan.

394
00:21:35,759 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 2: Do you let all your fans kiss you?

395
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:38,559
Speaker 6: You saw that?

396
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,599
Speaker 2: Yeah? Do you want to talk to me about it?

397
00:21:43,039 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 6: Walt has been really supportive since your dad.

398
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 2: Okay, can I take it? He's errand's what? Never mind?

399
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,880
Why didn't you tell me you were seeing someone?

400
00:21:58,319 --> 00:22:01,799
Speaker 6: I was worried you think I was rushing into things

401
00:22:01,839 --> 00:22:06,759
too quickly. Me being with Wald now doesn't mean I

402
00:22:06,839 --> 00:22:08,720
love your father any less.

403
00:22:09,039 --> 00:22:12,079
Speaker 2: I get it, Mom. Life is too short to be unhappy.

404
00:22:12,799 --> 00:22:15,960
And if Walt makes you happy, I'm happy.

405
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 6: Thank you, Hugh.

406
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,079
Speaker 2: And, at risk of ending this Kumbaya moment, I formally

407
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,400
resigned from my role as a stuntball, but I'd like

408
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,799
to stay on as your son, if you'll have me.

409
00:22:29,839 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 6: I would love that. So what's this job for the president?

410
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,519
Are you his lightmobile driver.

411
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 2: His PA, Minister of community outreach? Actually a Hugh, that's amazing. Yeah, uh,

412
00:22:48,599 --> 00:22:49,920
I'm really looking forward to it.

413
00:22:50,079 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 6: Are you sure that you're gonna be okay? Roaming around

414
00:22:54,039 --> 00:22:56,640
in a building with all those LEDs.

415
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 2: I'll be fine, and don't worry. They'll take me seriously.

416
00:23:00,319 --> 00:23:05,480
Incandescence have always been shopkeepers, entertainers and athletes, and now

417
00:23:05,519 --> 00:23:06,759
they can be politicians too.

418
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 6: Politics is a messy game, Hughie, I also have a

419
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,200
secret weapon, Hallie. Hallie.

420
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 2: Diode is terrified of her.

421
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 9: Oh we're gonna be okay, Mom.

422
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 8: Wow, I've never seen the Powerhouse so packed before.

423
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,039
Speaker 6: Way to go, Phil, It wasn't just me.

424
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,559
Speaker 3: Oh shucks, thanks Phil, I.

425
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 6: Meant Huie Dear. He got President Diode to make a

426
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,119
personal donation to the Power Planned, and he even invited

427
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,279
a few of his friends. Apparently he's a bit of

428
00:23:52,279 --> 00:23:54,119
a philomoniac himself.

429
00:23:54,319 --> 00:24:00,279
Speaker 3: Whoa hands off, Diode. Fifteen second warning, folks.

430
00:24:00,319 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 6: Okay, gang, huddle up. I love you all. Thank you

431
00:24:05,839 --> 00:24:10,119
for being at my support system, and thank you for

432
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,880
being honest with me even when I don't want to

433
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:14,240
hear it.

434
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 3: We love you too, Phil.

435
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 2: We love you, Phil, love you Mom.

436
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,000
