SPEAKER 08 : <time>0:00 </time>

Joe, you got it ready to go? Uh, yes, I do. Do you know what that is that I'm referring to? Um, 100% the topic bucket, which is definitely ready to go. Okay.

SPEAKER 1 : <time>0:14 </time>

100%.

SPEAKER 08 : <time>0:14 </time>

Top of the bucket. Okay. What hobby did you have as a kid that you want to start up again as an adult?

SPEAKER 07 : <time>0:20 </time>

All right. I was just testing him. It felt like he didn't have one ready. That page looks awfully blank, though. Yeah.

SPEAKER 08 : <time>0:25 </time>

Alan, why don't you just answer the question? Take my time. Answer the question.

SPEAKER 04 : <time>0:28 </time>

Yes, take your time. You know what? I really enjoyed model trains when I was a kid. Yeah.

SPEAKER 06 : <time>0:37 </time>

I have relationships with women. And sex with men.

SPEAKER 04 : <time>0:42 </time>

I don't have the space for it now, but I would love to set up a model train set again. When I was a kid...

SPEAKER 01 : <time>0:50 </time>

My family and I visited some friends that they had just made, my parents had just made, and so we had just met their teenage son, and I was younger, I was probably eight, and he wanted to show me his model train set up in the basement.

SPEAKER 05 : <time>1:09 </time>

Yeah.

SPEAKER 01 : <time>1:09 </time>

And my mother whispered to me, no, don't go. What? He seems weird. And later she told me she was afraid he would molest me.

SPEAKER 06 : <time>1:21 </time>

Jesus. That's when I went downstairs and there was no model train. He showed me his O-gauge. Turn it down. I was the train. I was the train. I remember it. Choo-choo. Choo-choo. Conductor and engineer. It was a different kind of train. It was a different kind of train. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER 07 : <time>1:49 </time>

What was the question again? I don't even remember. Hold on. What's the thing you wrote down in the moment?

SPEAKER 08 : <time>1:54 </time>

Dude, I totally... What's the thing that you gave us a schedule that was going to be on it and was not on it? Totally prepared. God, the fact that you riffed that is impressive. I'm not even mad. What hobby did you have?

SPEAKER 07 : <time>2:11 </time>

What's the most likely soup that you would throw at someone in a fight in Arkansas? God, I love it. How many TVs do you think you could carry at once if you had a gun trained on you? What's the most bricks you've ever seen? Jesus. You just tried to come up with it?

SPEAKER 02 : <time>2:35 </time>

If you had to walk up a set of stairs, how many stairs could you walk up?

SPEAKER 07 : <time>2:39 </time>

Which president's most likely to have been in favor of trans rights? If you had to eat insulation, what would be your side dish? God damn, dude.

SPEAKER 08 : <time>2:52 </time>

Those are really good. None of those were good.

SPEAKER 07 : <time>2:56 </time>

Do you think you could turn a clock into a frisbee with enough inspiration from Maya Angelou?

SPEAKER 08 : <time>3:02 </time>

Have you ever seen a man eat his own head?

SPEAKER 07 : <time>3:03 </time>

How long do you think it'd take you to turn yourself inside out? Oh, my God.

SPEAKER 04 : <time>3:10 </time>

Speaking of inside out, you just reminded me of a horror movie that I still remember as a kid. Inside out, there was a monster, and my parents took us to this drive-in, and I don't remember what the first... I remember the first movie had nuns in it, and they were being boiled in oil. It was just really weird. What the... Exactly. The one that stuck out in my head was this creature called Slithus. Slithus? Slithus was the creature. The creature killed people by turning them inside out. Oh, really? Slithis. Slithis. It was this horrible drive-in. Is it called The Spawn of the Slithis?

SPEAKER 05 : <time>3:50 </time>

It could have been.

SPEAKER 1 : <time>3:51 </time>

1978?

SPEAKER 05 : <time>3:51 </time>

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. A nuclear leak creates a mutant slithis monster. Yes, that's it. Which terrorizes pets, winos, and hippies. That's exactly it.

SPEAKER 04 : <time>4:03 </time>

Being in the back of the old country Squire station wagon, hiding under the blanket because my parents didn't want to pay for me and my brother to get in.

SPEAKER 07 : <time>4:09 </time>

Meanwhile, Josh is getting molested in a basement hoping to see an N scale train set. There's the service. Yeah, my dad. Dude, my dad would also put us in a trunk. for the Bell Alton drive-in movie theater we would pull over a mile up the road sometimes way too far and he would put my brother and I in the trunk he'd put a blanket over us and he'd pay for two and then you could take the back seat and fold it down and sneak in through so you didn't have to pop the trunk because they look for like trunk poppers out there and no he would just like hey get down I got snacks for you guys on the floor I brought some ham I brought some ham for you that was us Well, we vamped long enough.
