WEBVTT - Balloon Farm 0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:19.239 Hi, Sabrina. Hey, will have you ever taken really powerful 0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:30.720 hallucinogenic drugs? Okay? I was just checking today. This was nuts. 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:37.080 I mean I don't even know, I can't even this 0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:38.760 was nuts. 0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:42.440 Like I was in it for like a good while. 0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:44.040 Were you yes? 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:44.839 I was. 0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:47.360 I was like, all right, we got magic, Okay, we've 0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:51.520 got imagination. The hardest part for me, I will say, 0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:55.120 I guess kind of early thoughts was like if this 0:00:55.360 --> 0:01:00.400 was a cast of just children, it wouldn't be easy 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:05.160 to easy to grasp this idea of these adults. This 0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:10.520 was into this absolute garbage. 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:13.840 And like, yeah, it's the Ana Na. Yes, well you 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:15.440 know what, I'm not even gonna hold off anymore. Welcome 0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:17.320 back to Magical Rewind, the show that makes you want 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:19.440 to grab your friends, your PJS and your popcorn and 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:21.240 go back to a time one all the houses are smart, 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:24.960 the waves, tsunamis, and the LSD only lasted six hours. 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:28.119 I will have Sabrina, Brian. 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:33.360 Okay, everybody buckle up, because we go. We have hit 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:34.360 the balloon movie. 0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:34.640 Mark. 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:38.839 That's right. The tunnel of the Disney Original movies is long, 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:41.120 but eventually we were always going to hit the balloon 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:43.080 movie there's no way around it. So yes, the time 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.720 has come. Today we recapped the nineteen ninety nine Fever 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:51.720 Dream Fever, Dream LSD, Trip, meth induced coma, whatever you 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:55.320 want to call it. Balloon Farm. It premiered on March 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:57.480 twenty ninth, nineteen ninety nine, on ABC as part of 0:01:57.480 --> 0:01:59.560 the Wonderful World of Disney series and was based on 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:02.960 the Night ninety four kids book titled Harvey Potter's Balloon 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:09.320 Farm Harvey Potter's Balloon Farm by I think it's Jaredan Nolan. 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:11.480 I hope I'm saying that right or Jaredan Nolan. Nolan 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:13.840 has written a ton of kid in young adult books, 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.520 one about the life of Tony Morrison, another about the 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.600 Underground Railroad, and most recently, she co wrote a children's 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:24.440 book called Layla, The Last Black Unicorn with comedian Tiffany Adish. Now, 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:26.760 the book that this movie was based on was much 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.519 simpler and a very basic kid story, So the film 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.880 added a bunch of magical elements and just added to 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:37.000 the whole plot the talking balloons. I'm gonna say that again, 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:40.519 so everybody's with me. The talking balloons and the evil 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:43.320 corporation trying you buy land for a toxic dump. Those 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:46.280 are added for the movie, and like most Wonderful Old 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:49.359 Disney installments, had originally aired with an introduction from CEO 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.520 Michael Eisner, who in this case talked about the history 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:55.200 of hot air balloons. And that must have been a 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:57.640 real barnburner of a segment, especially because there are no 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:02.160 hot air balloons in the movie, all right. 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.040 And I thought that was gonna be such a huge 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:06.280 aspect of this. 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:07.400 Nothing I didn't. 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:10.800 My thing on YouTube didn't show any of that part, 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:14.000 but just with the name being a balloon, like, I 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.920 was thinking, like, this was gonna be a hot air balloon, going, wow, 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:18.359 that's kind of been really hard. 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:22.440 To Yeah, shoot that I figured the same thing, But nope, 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:25.680 it wasn't. It was just a bunch of okay, well, 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:27.200 we'll get into it, and it would eventually get the 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:30.760 DVD Walt Disney Home Video treatment in two thousand and four. 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:33.519 And of course, elephant in the Room here is that. Yes, 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:37.400 the main character's name is Harvey Potter, early close to 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:39.640 that famous wizard student. Now some trivia here, the main 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:42.720 character in the movie Troll, a nineteen eighty six horror movie, 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:44.840 is actually named Harry Potter, and that was well before 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:46.920 the books existed. I'm not sure what you're gonna do 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:48.720 with that trivia, but you have it, so do with 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:51.880 it what you will. I'm gonna beat the bloom Farm 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:53.800 on this one. I don't think I even have to 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.120 ask had you heard of this movie before it came out? 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:57.880 Not at all before we have to put it out 0:03:57.920 --> 0:03:59.000 for our homework meeting either. 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.360 And this would really have been like Mara Wilson like, 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.640 this would have been in my wheelhouse for sure, and 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:06.200 I just happened to miss it. 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:11.960 Dango, Well, that might not be the worst thing. You 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.240 can get equated with Balloon Farm right now for free 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:16.520 on YouTube, because like almost all the Wonderful World of 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.240 Disney movies, it is not available on any streaming service. 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:21.640 But just search for a Balloon Farm and click on 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.200 the full movie option. Don't pick the half movie or 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:27.280 the quarter movie option. Those won't help. But if they 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:30.080 do offer the one tenth version, it's not an awful option. 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:33.640 Just avoid the five tenths version because that's just another 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:35.599 way of saying half. I learned that the hard way. 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:37.640 So you can watch it now, watch it later, but again, 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:40.760 watch it in full or maybe just don't watch it. 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:45.680 So let's turn lemons into lemonade and listen closely to 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:50.039 our corn. This is the synopsis. When Harvey s Potter 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:53.320 descends upon a drought stricken farmland, he begins to grow 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:58.040 a mysterious, beautiful crop of balloons. That's it, That's what 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:00.760 we got, Sabrina, What did you think, girly thoughts? What 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:01.559 do you think of the film? 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:05.480 I mean, this movie was that crazy, yep, and I 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.760 had high hopes for it. The cast where you know 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:11.080 we're about to get into guys, you're gonna even gonna 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:12.360 believe who's in this movie. 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:13.040 It's great. 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:16.960 The cast is insane, The movie is wild. 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:20.400 Yeah. I love how you avoided whether you actually liked 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:22.320 it or not, I'm the same exact way. This was 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:24.200 not a good movie. I will say it right out. 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:26.440 It is no being negative. 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:27.159 That's somebody. 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:30.480 There's nothing there, there's nothing to be It's not about 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:39.440 being negative. I mean, it's just it's it's this movie 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:43.920 is so weird. Scenes that just end like this, they 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:46.880 just stop scenes where it's hey, oh okay, we're doing 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:51.400 something else now, and it's just the strangest Oh okay, 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.279 we'll get into it. Yes, the cast is incredible, and 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:54.000 we'll get into all that. 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:55.520 It's just like it's great. 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:56.479 Is wow. 0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:59.000 I mean, I'm going to the point where I'm like, wow, 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.760 wonderful world. It like, look at you booking these like 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:04.680 big names, right, huge, huge, so awesome. 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:05.320 I mean okay. 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:09.480 I felt like almost the entire cast was recognizable, whether. 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:11.960 You have the time, I feel like, did they read 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:15.360 it and go, yeah, oh I'm in right because A right? 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:19.800 That made it so strange? Or was the first script? 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:22.560 Was it was? It brought some of the actors seemed 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:24.599 like they were acting in a different movie than the 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:28.599 other actors were, Like like the guy playing the sheriff 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:31.440 was doing his whole thing all by himself, and the. 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.160 Sheriff was a main was the main character that the 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:36.520 movie was actually about. 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.640 So weird anyway, okay. It was directed by William Deer, 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:41.960 who began his career in TV and music videos, working 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:44.240 with artists like Cheap Trick and Michael McDonald, and on 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:46.120 the movie side, he directed the hit film Harry and 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.880 the Henderson's then went on to helm the Richard Rico 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:54.040 Great Awesome Richard Greco movie of Looks Could Kill, as 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:56.880 well as two family favorites Disney's Angels in the Outfield 0:06:56.920 --> 0:07:00.440 and the JTT Vehicle Wild America. He also wrote a 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:03.040 classic that really has withstood the test of time, The Rocketeer. 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:06.080 So these wide world films really brought in some directing talent. 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:09.160 And speaking of talent, here we go the movie stars. 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:12.040 Rip Torn a comedy legend. He's probably best known to 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.840 our audience as the supervisor Z in the Men in 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:16.560 Black Movies. By the way, we have to put him 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:21.520 in the Coleman Reynolds chair because he's just phenomenal. Yes, yeah, 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.200 but he also played Arthur and The Larry Sanders Show 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.720 and Jim Brody in The Insane Movie with Just a 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:30.960 Horrible title Freddie got fingered. But his credits go on 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.480 and on, from Defending Your Life, which is arguably the 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:36.080 greatest movie ever made, to Thirty Rock, to Wonder Boys, 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.480 to the Voice of Zeus and Hercules to Summer Rental. 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:40.840 He was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor in nineteen 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:43.560 eighty four for the movie Cross Creek. Rip Torn was 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:46.080 the best. I mean, his career is amazing, and he 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:48.560 passed away in twenty nineteen at the age of eighty eight. 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:51.880 And then Mara Wilson is Willow Johnson. Mara will forever 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:54.800 be known as Matilda in the nineteen ninety six film 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:58.320 adaptation of the role dull children's book, but she also 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.440 starred in Missus, Doubtfire, and Miracle thirty fourth Street, the 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:04.400 remake of that film. Of course, she was a very 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:07.800 very recognizable child star in the nineteen nineties and the 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:10.720 very talented in other words, talent after talent after talent. 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:13.440 Laurie metcalf is Casey Johnson. She is a multi time 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:17.120 award winning stage and screen actress, best known as Jackie 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:19.840 on one of the most celebrated sitcoms of all time, Roseanne. 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:22.200 She would reprise the role on the Connors reboot and 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.320 is also the voice of Andy's mom in the Toy 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:27.240 Story movies. She appeared in Scream two and returned for 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:31.160 the recently released Scream seven. All she wasn't killed in 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:32.000 any of those movies. 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:39.320 She's also in one of my favorite shows and I'm like, planking. 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:42.000 Nice, so good, that's how good it is. 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:45.960 No Big Bang Theory. She plays Sheldon's mom and she's 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:47.400 amazing in that. 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.520 Okay, again, never seen Big Bang Theory, but I hear 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:51.000 it's great. 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:53.480 She's incredible, She's so funny. 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:57.320 We've got Frederick Lane, a veteran character actor with a 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:00.840 four decade career in Hollywood. He plays Jake Johnson. He's 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:04.200 best known as the yellow eyed demon Azel in Supernatural, 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.800 but was also in Ordinary People, Zero, Dark Thirty, Doctor Death, 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:12.920 and Mancuzo FBI and beloved cult character actor Robert Blossom 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.760 plays Weasel Mayfield. Blossom is best known to just about 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:18.800 everyone in the world as the misunderstood, cranky neighbor Old 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:22.559 Man Marley in Home Alone. Then we've got Neil McDonald, 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.520 who plays the Sheriff. McDonald would go on to become 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:27.959 a highly esteemed actor, most notably in HBO's Band of 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.680 Brothers mini series, but he also appeared in Captain America, 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:34.439 Arrow and Minority Report. And then we've got Ernie Lively 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:37.120 as Tom Williams. And I love this decom connection because 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:39.840 Ernie is the dad of Blake Lively and Robin Lively, 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:42.760 a former Magical rewind guest who appeared in a wide 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:46.040 world of movie just as weird as this one, Fuzzbucket. 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:50.040 I don't know which one. 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:53.040 It should should have. That is just too much's amazing 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:54.800 it I Cannot Take It. 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.280 I Love It. Lively appeared alongside his daughter Blake in 0:09:57.320 --> 0:09:59.200 the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and was seen on 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.959 Hill Street Blues, The X Files, and Seinfeld. He passed 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:04.400 away in twenty twenty one at the age of seventy four. 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:08.200 And another familiar name to Magical rewind listeners, Adam Wiley, 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:10.320 is Charles Adam was a guest here on the pod 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.440 for his work in the first dcom ever, nineteen ninety 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:15.800 seven's Under Wraps, and appeared in the recent Modern Day remake. 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:19.080 He also starred in another dcom that was also that 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:25.920 Crazy Can of Worms, just Nutsy movie after Nutsy. So 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:29.080 we know this movie sounds weird, but does it run weird? 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:31.160 And by that, I mean how long is it? We 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:33.480 love the target number here on the podcast, and that 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:37.560 number is ninety minutes, no more, no less. So Balloon 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:42.240 Farm rings in at eighty nine minutes, one off the mark, 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:44.320 but in the right direction, So we salute the film. 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:46.520 It almost hit the target. Well we'll salute it for 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:51.480 that anyway, because it almost knows the target. And on 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:54.480 the writing side, author Gerdin Nolan got her story credit, 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:57.600 but writer Stephen Karzinski I believe is how you say 0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:00.240 his name was the screenwriter. This was Stephen's own only 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.280 writing credit. But I did find an article from twenty 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:04.400 twenty two about how he wrote a movie called Vent 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:07.040 that was going to be made by acclaimed director Florian 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:09.720 Henkle Von Doner's Mark from the Live of Others. But 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:11.839 maybe that never came to fruition. I don't know because 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:25.320 we haven't seen it. And now, oh, I'm sorry, I'm 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:29.120 speaking balloon but trust me, I said, let's get into 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:33.480 Balloon Farm. We open with our title on the screen, 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:35.560 and that's already kind of funny with our credits. We 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:37.439 open on a truck driving by a sign that reads 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.880 this is Waterston Grow with us population two fifty six, 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:43.640 Where with the Johnson family in the fields outside their home. 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:45.480 A young girl named Willow is sitting on a fence 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:47.400 with her mom and her dad and they're fixing their tractor. 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:51.120 Willow's mom, Casey, asked Willow, if the trees are pleasing purple, 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:53.760 what color would the fields be. Willow responds, the fields 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:56.200 are bloom and blue and the sky is yelling yellow. 0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:59.440 And yes, it's possible that they are also on acid. 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:01.440 And this is when my tabs started to kick in. 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:06.040 Casey now asks, and the people Willow's bond's grassy green, 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:08.080 and they share a laugh. For dad, Jake steps in, 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:11.160 I think you're talking about Weasel Mayfield there. Willow clarifies 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:13.640 the green people aren't farmers, Daddy. They're different than us. 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:16.920 Jake jokes they're rich. Then with that, Willow jumps off 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:19.840 the fence to find mercy and Charles now alone. Casey 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:21.600 asks her husband, so what do you think a concern? 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:24.360 Jake answers, two maybe three weeks. If it don't rain 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:26.400 by then, the seeds are not going to grow. And yes, 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:29.760 we see the fields are very, very dry. Now with 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:32.960 that in mind, we're at the city water reserve. Tom 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.000 and Weasel noticed that the water level is just about 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.880 to hit low. It's worse than they all thought. We're 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.079 now at the local cafe. Maggie, the waitress is pouring 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:43.160 coffee for customers, and the mayor, Gus Boyd, takes his cup. 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.079 The sheriff is sitting in his booth eating pie when 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:47.240 he sees a truck from earlier driving into town. He 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:50.000 opens the blinds and closes them angrily. Miss Maggie, that'll 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:52.080 be an iou on the pie, and then he rushes 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:55.160 out to his car. And he's playing such a weird character. 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:58.800 The truck it's so big again, it's like he's in 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:01.319 a different movie. The truck passing the city water Reserve 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:03.480 when the sheriff turns on his sirens. We're now on 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:05.280 the side of the road. The over zealous sheriff gets 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:08.120 out of his car just a few feet away. Willow 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.640 finds Marcy and Charles hiding behind the rock watching everything 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:13.520 go down. The sheriff caught a crook. The cop approaches 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:16.559 the driver's side window. Willow goes further up the hill 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:18.680 to get a closer look, and the driver IDs himself 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:21.520 as Harvey H. Potter. It's either S Potter or H. Potter, 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:23.920 but it's Harvey Potter. We see that he also spots 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:26.160 Willow in the process. The sheriff explains that he's in 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:29.040 an unregistered vehicle and will need to impound it. Willow 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.199 is now standing right outside the other side of the car, 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:34.680 and Harvey starts talking about his incredible Peacan pie while 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:38.120 looking directly at Willow and with a little I guess 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:43.120 magic which we never explain in any of this, which 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:47.120 is fine he turns one pecan into a piping hot pie. 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:48.880 Do you say pecan or pecan, Sabrina? 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:50.720 Pecan? 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:52.880 Yeah, me too, I think, but I said p can. 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:57.880 I don't know. I hate pie anyway, so I don't care. Yeah. 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:00.280 The sheriff, oblivious the whole time, hands over this. It 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:02.920 smells the fresh peacan dessert. Harvey gives the pie to 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:05.160 the sheriff, and in turn, since Harvey is new in town, 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:07.440 the officer won't pound his car after all. He tells 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:10.360 Harvey to have a nice pie. Huh, and the mystery 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:12.840 man speeds off, with the sheriff realizing he's still holding 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:15.959 the citation. We're now back in the fields. It impressed Willow, 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.640 Charles and Marcy chase after Harvey's car. They don't believe 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.520 Willow about the magical pie. Charles thinks that maybe he 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:24.840 is inhuman, and Marcy wonders if he's an alien neighbor. 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:27.480 Weasel greets Harvey and warns him there's nothing growing on 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:30.160 their lands. Harvey still tries to introduce himself, but Weasel 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:32.240 doesn't care. He has been in the mad mood ever 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.960 since the drought, and this guy just always plays cranky 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:38.080 old man Charles fills up a water balloon and dares 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.560 Willow to throw it at Weasel. Willow accepts the challenge 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:43.200 and throws it but misses horribly, like doesn't even come 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:46.080 close and just hits Harvey dead center of the chest. Instead. 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:48.240 Weasel yells at the kids and they run off. Weasel 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:50.240 tells Harvey he doesn't know what he's doing in town, 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:54.000 but it better not involve water. Harvey chuckles and examines 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:58.160 the broken water balloon, And so did that give him 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:01.360 the idea? Did he already know what he was going 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:03.240 to do? What? 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:06.640 I don't know? I mean at this point, what's so 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:08.840 early on? You're kind of like, okay, we're going to 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:12.320 find that out, just but we don't joke. 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:16.640 Okay, sometimes it's like magic for magic's sake, but it's 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.920 like at least explain it a bit anyway, right. 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:22.960 And it's also like like the pecan pie kind of 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:26.200 is irrelevant, Like he's not he does that with everything 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:26.440 he does. 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:29.120 Lemons he does it with the coffee thing. 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:30.520 It's all kind of just. 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.000 So why can't if he can take a lemon and 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:35.400 make lemonade without water, and he can take a coffee 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:37.160 bean and make coffee without water. And if he can 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:40.480 make balloons without anything, why can't he just take a 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:42.120 drop of water and make a lot of water? 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:46.440 I don't know. Okay, why did it have to be 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:48.440 this whole big shindig about balloons? 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:51.920 Right? Yeah? Right, okay, Well, thank you so much for 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:54.440 joining us in this episode of Magical rewind You can 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:55.840 follow us on because. 0:15:57.960 --> 0:15:58.680 No joke. 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:02.120 Serious doesn't Yeah it doesn't. I mean there's yeah. Okay, 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:05.200 we're back at Willow's house, Willow's Willow finds her mom 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:07.440 making a centennial banner for their farm. It's going to 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:09.720 be one hundred years old in September. She tries to 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:11.240 explain to her mom about Harvey and the pie, but 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:13.880 her mom obviously doesn't believe her. Meanwhile, Willow's dad is 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:15.800 on the phone with Weasel, hearing all about the water 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:18.440 balloon incident. Willow tries to explain that Weasel was being 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:20.040 a jerk to the new farmer, but her dad says 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:22.400 it's no excuse. Next time he puts something other than 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:24.280 water in those balloons, and don't miss and it's a 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:27.480 nice little moment. Then we're at the gardening store. Harvey 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:30.520 buys the best named tool you can a hand hoe 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:34.320 from the cashier. He asks if Harvey is digging up 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:36.160 a few weeds, but Harvey explains no, He's got a 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:39.160 lot of plowing to do. The cashier suggests a bigger tool, 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:41.680 but Harvey has already walked out. We're now back at 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:43.680 that same cafe. Some of the customers note that Harvey, 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.160 the new farmer, must be stupid. He sure picked the 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:48.840 wrong town to move into. The gardening store clerk enters 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:50.920 and tells him about the new guy's hand ho and 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:54.160 basically calls him insane. One customer, Crystal, asks Maggie for 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:56.280 another slice of pie, and Maggie wonders if she's still 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:58.640 on a diet, which is hands down the meanest thing 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:00.640 I've ever heard of waitress ever say to a cotomer. Ever, 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:03.760 Maggie then offers only one last cup of coffee to 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:06.560 the customers because of the drought, Tom coming from the reservoir, 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:08.360 reveals the town doesn't have more than two or three 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:11.359 months of drinking water left. The mayor steps in and 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:14.160 tells everybody to tighten their belts more. They have to conserve, 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:17.879 and everyone timidly says sure. Then we go to Earl's 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:19.880 house and Earl stands in a bathroom debating on whether 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:22.560 or not to take a bath, especially because his arthritis hurts. 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:24.800 We're at Crystal's house. She wants to make iced tea, 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:26.560 so she turns on her hose to fill up with 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:28.359 the jar without a care in the world. And then 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:31.320 at Tom's he looks around and maybe the most egregious 0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:34.639 of all of them, starts to wash his truck. It's like, 0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:37.960 oh my god. But we're back at Earl's and he's 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:40.320 soaking the tub, rubbing his hands. At least he has arthritis. 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:41.840 The other girl wants to make something to drink. This 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:45.600 guy just wants to wash his truck. It's like, wow, yikes, 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:49.320 Do you are you a water waster? No? 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:54.240 I think I'm pretty good about not wasting water. I 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:57.560 take like, you know, like unless i'm like really like 0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:00.320 washing my hair. I take pretty quick showers and off 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:02.200 my water every time, Like when I'm brushing my teeth, 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:05.280 I don't keep it running. And I'm not convinced. I 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:09.000 do hand wash dishes, and I've been told that it's 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:13.800 better to just run your often. I don't believe it. 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:17.120 My dishwasher runs for like three hours. Yeah, but it's 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:18.720 the shortest time I can do. 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:20.680 It always, does you get it uses like a certain 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:22.160 amount of water? I think you do. I think it's 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:23.440 true you save water by using this. 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:27.959 It seems wild. I go back and forth because I'm like, 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:30.800 it's still going like this. It irritates me that it 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:33.800 takes that long, right, Like, yeah, the hand washing is 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:36.560 just super quick, and I do I do like a 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:39.040 certain amount of water, Like I feel like I do it. 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:41.679 I kind of convince myself that I'm more, you're doing 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:42.520 it better, gotcha? 0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:45.119 Gotcha. I used to be a horrible water waster. I 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:47.520 used to take really two or three forty five minute 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:51.040 shours a day a day, Yeah, a day. And that 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:54.000 was years ago. And then when the drought got really bad, Like, I. 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:56.680 Can't do this swimming in mud baths? Why would you need? 0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:58.639 No? I would. I would sit at the bottom and 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:01.280 read a book. Have we never talked about my weird 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:03.280 shower habits? Do we only talk about this on pod 0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:05.560 mets World? Yeah? So I would literally sit at the 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:06.960 bottom of the shower and let it rain down on 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:08.320 me and hang out the side and read a book. 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:11.400 And I do that a couple times a day. Yeah, 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:13.199 I haven't done that in years because I felt I 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:15.200 just got felt guilty wasting the water. So yeah, I 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:18.160 just don't do it anymore. Thank you, yeah, thank you for. 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:20.879 I felt like you take a shower every once in 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:21.240 a while. 0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:22.840
