Speaker 5: the effect and this isn't verbatim, but it was something
Speaker 5: to the effect of and this isn't like you know,
Speaker 5: I'm not it's not word for word, but just it's
Speaker 5: not verbatim, but it's something to the effect of there

Speaker 4: that now, is it? Was it word for word?
Speaker 6: What I'm just saying? Yeah, No, that that not not.
Speaker 4: Okay because I got I got confused because I've heard it,
Speaker 4: but it wasn't work.
Speaker 5: It wasn't word for it because it sounded pretty. I
Speaker 5: took a little bread of liberty there. But I think
Speaker 5: something can sound similar but not the word for words.
Speaker 6: Right in rhyming is so for interpretation.
Speaker 4: Is notoriously upper interpretation is.
Speaker 2: Well, I remember your big rhyme, the rhym front fest
Speaker 2: who got into.

Speaker 4: a lot of gumshy Point is based on the kind
Speaker 4: of this area of Ohio, and like the land and
Speaker 4: so like the blackberries are ripe, and so we have

Speaker 1: you're living in fairy tale. Sounds like all of us
Speaker 1: are living in an absolute dream life, And in many
Speaker 1: ways we are but there are some not so glamorous
Speaker 1: sides of the theme park world. And you know, I
Speaker 1: always walking on I got this could be a sitcom.
Speaker 3: Could you've been trying to get that sitcom off the ground.
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got that funding though from that guy I did.
Speaker 3: That was for my knee surgery.
Speaker 7: Oh he got funding from from a guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So this guy gave me fifty thousand dollars to
Speaker 3: fix my knee.
Speaker 4: Who is he just pissing? I mean he was so
Speaker 4: upset at you for I mean he was intrusive.
Speaker 1: He just like, you gotta fix that knee. I don't
Speaker 1: have an issue with my knee, and I still don't.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's fine, it's weird.
Speaker 7: Was weird, but I say, yeah, our our park has
Speaker 7: a lot of weird stuff. It's got some hidden mickeys.
Speaker 7: It does have the hidden trampolines.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're weird.
Speaker 7: Right when you're walking, if you don't know where, they're.
Speaker 2: Greeted with a surprise trampoline. It's a crazy experience.
Speaker 3: Everyone always asks how many hidden trampolines are there?
Speaker 7: Four hundred and fifty And also to the people that
Speaker 7: are trying to spread their families. If you have a
Speaker 7: loved one and you're spreading their ashes. People come to
Speaker 7: Gumption Point, Yeah, we want to do that, and they're
Speaker 7: trying to find the trampolines to do that at.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so stop it. Sorry, we need to address this.
Speaker 1: There's only twenty five trampolines you can do that on
Speaker 1: at Gumption Point.
Speaker 3: Don't do it on the other ones. You're not elected.
Speaker 4: Because what happens is somebody will step bounce bunch of
Speaker 4: somebody's ashes in their face.
Speaker 2: Right, you need to specifically hit and the trampolines that
Speaker 2: have a vacuum underneath. Yes, that suck up the ashes
Speaker 2: and make them go where the streak there's.
Speaker 7: A yellow line, there's mark they are ash safe zone.
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, yes, yes.
Speaker 4: A lot of people you know, always messages you guys
Speaker 4: like must like go crazy when the park closest. Like,
Speaker 4: so I thought it would be fun to kind of
Speaker 4: talk about, you know.
Speaker 5: Like after hour.
Speaker 7: After I'll say it, we have stickers on our lockers.
Speaker 1: I bet you don't look at us the same way
Speaker 1: now because you know we got stickers on our locker.
Speaker 5: And one day, one day when I if I ever
Speaker 5: leave the park, I think that maybe I'll get a
Speaker 5: place of my own.
Speaker 3: It's crazy.
Speaker 2: That's an after dark thought. Okay, hashtag gumption after dark.
Speaker 1: After details are doing a gumption after dark one K,
Speaker 1: so you guys gotta come out.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: One, it's like a five K, but it's a lot
Speaker 1: shorter the park case six hundred feet.
Speaker 7: I'll say it's a sprint.
Speaker 3: It's a sprint.
Speaker 7: I'll say a gumption after dark thought. I need water,
Speaker 7: and which I had some during the day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good.
Speaker 5: Wish, that water.
Speaker 2: I have ab gumption after dark thought. And it's that
Speaker 2: I have started smelling weed.
Speaker 4: Where where my star smoking it?
Speaker 2: I am? You can't smoke weed, I am.
Speaker 6: You can know we put the pesticides down.
Speaker 5: They shouldn't be growing.
Speaker 4: Oh so fifteen or a brain thing, it's one of
Speaker 4: the other.
Speaker 2: Be talking to her like brain damage, or should I.
Speaker 8: Be talking to her like kids, you're twenty seven, you're
Speaker 8: changing her.
Speaker 5: So I love you all the same.
Speaker 2: So this is no peer pressure to help or know
Speaker 2: that felt great?
Speaker 3: She likes it.
Speaker 2: So if you like that weed is sort of a
Speaker 2: medicinal plant.
Speaker 5: I've done. I've done pesticides before, you've done pesticide, done them.
Speaker 4: God, pesticide. Larry's given her the pesticide.
Speaker 7: Supposed to be a Halloween thing for a week, and
Speaker 7: he can't get.
Speaker 4: Out eradication, World, eradication, eradication.
Speaker 5: There. I can't believe you smoke weed?
Speaker 3: Well, she smells weed? Can I ask you? Do you?
Speaker 3: Do you light the joint and sit it down? Or
Speaker 3: do you let other people smoke? And are you walking
Speaker 3: by a kind of locker?
Speaker 4: Now that's funky, right?
Speaker 2: I did well, I said, and I said what I meant,
Speaker 2: I smell weed. I am smelling it currently. I am
Speaker 2: addicted to the smell of weed.
Speaker 4: I think that means you're getting high if you are smelling.
Speaker 2: Weed smoking it. I'm smelling. I'm smelling it and I
Speaker 2: feel good after.
Speaker 4: So how close is it when you when you?
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sitting next to a little diffuser situation.
Speaker 2: My cousin knows more about this than I.
Speaker 3: There is your cousin. That's all good. Clear it up
Speaker 3: with her.
Speaker 2: She'll come to pick me up. She'll explain all about it.
Speaker 2: It's this really fun thing shaped like a tube, and
Speaker 2: then there's stuff coming out.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 7: I never want to be high at gumption point because
Speaker 7: because of the the FBI looking out for you is
Speaker 7: very scary, scari off the shocking. There's so many scary things.
Speaker 7: That's what makes our it makes our park so popular.
Speaker 7: Morell of week, Yes, we absolutely as.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 1: I think what's hard is so much of the park
Speaker 1: is hard if you're high. Blurry World is awesome, So.
Speaker 4: Blurry World gets really really actually distinct.
Speaker 7: Is ever you're walking in Blurry Worlds, you accidentally land
Speaker 7: on a trampoline with actions on it in your face,
Speaker 7: then you fall down, run into a fifteen year old
Speaker 7: with brain damage.
Speaker 3: And then you're a food courtland.
Speaker 6: It's a great day and it's great for the family.
Speaker 2: I smelled weed before going into Blurry World.
Speaker 3: On top.
Speaker 4: The worst, the worst place to be high is the FBI.
Speaker 3: It's a bad one. Yes, I will say.
Speaker 4: Those paranoias come through, and half of your job is
Speaker 4: to go are you high?
Speaker 1: I do that, you're high. I know you're high. We
Speaker 1: all know you're high. We all see what you're doing.
Speaker 5: Nightmare, nightmare, nightmare. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's like kind of like a wild West town where
Speaker 1: we have one of those showdown shows, but it's me
Speaker 1: the FBI, and then there's somebody that is fully fully
Speaker 1: in a mirror outfit so that it looks like you
Speaker 1: are being.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's part.
Speaker 7: We should talk about the changes that happened during all
Speaker 7: the week. Because if the island is all the same
Speaker 7: except they're on stilts, yes, are high.
Speaker 2: You're high, and I can see you. You're being weird
Speaker 2: right now. You're being weird.
Speaker 1: Yes, when the fishery we pump in stinky smells rotten fish.
Speaker 4: Again, it's just it's it's all oral factory. Yeah, fish
Speaker 4: in your mouth up smelly every day.
Speaker 6: It's end up very smelly.
Speaker 4: No matter how much I scrub, I still smell like fish,
Speaker 4: that kind of fish.
Speaker 6: She just kind of wears a tie.
Speaker 2: I wear a tie for Halloween because it's formal. It's
Speaker 2: my day, you know what I mean. I turn into
Speaker 2: Bridezilla on Halloween.
Speaker 3: You're a different person.
Speaker 2: I have to apologize for Halloween Mama Bear because she
Speaker 2: is nasty.
Speaker 7: I love when the batteries become pumpkin pie and you
Speaker 7: get fine.
Speaker 6: Well one one day and this is not you know,
Speaker 6: your fault.
Speaker 5: But I did get in a little bit of trouble
Speaker 5: and you did unplug me for two weeks.
Speaker 3: Yes, you did that.
Speaker 2: Yeah much, I want to apologize to you.
Speaker 5: Right, No, and it's completely my fault. And you made
Speaker 5: it very obvious that it was such because I was
Speaker 5: talking out of place and I should not have done that.
Speaker 2: Look that is Halloween Bradzilla talking. I as your friend
Speaker 2: right now. I would never unplug you, honey, And that you.
Speaker 5: Like hid the charging doc. I was kind of like
Speaker 5: a room that at home.
Speaker 2: And I mailed it to someone else and then I
Speaker 2: made a series of riddles. Saw that it wasn't nice,
Speaker 2: and I wasn't being a girl's girl at that time.
Speaker 2: So I just want to say I'm sorry.
Speaker 5: Yes, because girls on Girl Sorry, girls support girls.
Speaker 4: Girls became a pervert girls on people know this.
Speaker 1: Dan gumption actually is weirdly, I's so facto responsible for
Speaker 1: the invention lube, and people didn't know that. I just
Speaker 1: don't know how he did that, because it's one of
Speaker 1: those things where he was he said, there's got to
Speaker 1: be a way to make this better, and everyone said,
Speaker 1: don't put that in me.
Speaker 2: God, there's gotta be like that. I mean, to be honest,
Speaker 2: it's sort of he was listening to women, right.
Speaker 5: I think he somewhat from your show because you had
Speaker 5: a hard time slipping out of the tin can and
Speaker 5: he was saying, oh, you know, what could we do
Speaker 5: to help you? And he went through different types of
Speaker 5: oils and then and he just a moment, yeah right,
Speaker 5: and then.
Speaker 2: You came from sardines first.
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, it's what we say in the fishery. I
Speaker 4: kind of have to say, well, lube came from sardines first,
Speaker 4: and every kind of gets grossed out. And a lot
Speaker 4: of people coming to the fishery.
Speaker 3: You, I would say, you're the least populated land.
Speaker 4: Very smelly. Yeah, left with these animatronic things that I
Speaker 4: believe are coming alive.
Speaker 1: You're kind of the tom Town of the gumption world.
Speaker 1: What's that about the animatonics?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 4: Nothing, just sometimes sometimes I'm left there smelling my own
Speaker 4: smell for hours and hours and hours all alone. And
Speaker 4: sometimes the animatronics, I do believe, move on their own.
Speaker 4: The the trout one time said something to me that
Speaker 4: I will never forget and I cannot repeat. I cannot.
Speaker 3: As your cousin is too political.
Speaker 4: My cousin, I didn't tell her cousin a good guy before.
Speaker 1: Literally, I do have a gumption. After dark thought, I
Speaker 1: was thinking about that myself. I well, this is kind
Speaker 1: of scary, but I haven't said it yet.
Speaker 3: I'm just getting right. I'm nervous about park closures.
Speaker 1: And I saw some stuff about maybe some layoffs and
Speaker 1: they might be closing a land.
Speaker 3: What land would they close? It couldn't be the fisher
Speaker 3: I couldn't been. I don't know.
Speaker 2: It couldn't be. It couldn't be hold On, that couldn't be.
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you the land. And I think you
Speaker 1: guys are going to be okay. It's Old Korea land Old.
Speaker 5: I don't think I can be okay with that, right, guys,
Speaker 5: we can't be okay with them closing it. No, I
Speaker 5: just think we should stand up for that park.
Speaker 3: I think Korea.
Speaker 5: It would just feel weird if we were all excited
Speaker 5: about Old Korea closing, right, guys.
Speaker 3: It's to me, I'm a little It's a little tricky.
Speaker 1: Do you I support old the idea of Old Korea, which
Speaker 1: is obviously an outdated and offensive version of Korea.
Speaker 3: The pre war Yeah, pre war pre Korean War celebration
Speaker 3: of support culture appropriation in the theme.
Speaker 1: Park's idea of Korea based on a book he read.
Speaker 3: The book was Gone with the Wind.
Speaker 1: Don't know how that made so it's tricky antebellum Korea.
Speaker 2: It's really actually what tricky for as actors to navigate.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you see, both of it is fraud.
Speaker 3: I don't understand what. But we're gonna end up firing
Speaker 3: so many of our Korean actors. Yeah, that's the hard
Speaker 3: that's the.
Speaker 6: Hard part is what I have.
Speaker 5: That's what I was going to say before you, is
Speaker 5: that I think politically I'm not okay with furlowing people
Speaker 5: who deserve.
Speaker 4: A job going to they it could be that they
Speaker 4: get hired again.
Speaker 1: It's they're gonna be using a classic furlough this part.
Speaker 2: We've all been furloughed at Toms.
Speaker 7: Yes, loves to flu the clam chowder bowls too much.
Speaker 7: They just said we're gonna furlough. Yeah, so much.
Speaker 6: So I'm back here on a volunteer basis.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's your.
Speaker 2: Guys's favorite furlough activity. I memorized all the world's capitals.
Speaker 1: Oh that's fun, that's fun. I tried every snickerdodle in
Speaker 1: town a lot. No, it didn't in a day, you know,
Speaker 1: I was on the furloughed for a day.
Speaker 5: I made leather. You that's quite hard to do that do.
Speaker 7: You already have to hide a lot of the things
Speaker 7: you don't know about bubbles.
Speaker 6: Bubbles is interesting.
Speaker 3: What how did you come up with?
Speaker 4: Did you come up with?
Speaker 5: No one comes?
Speaker 3: Yeah, no one comes up with their life.
Speaker 4: I will say, I do feel like some people come
Speaker 4: up with their laugh.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I feel like maybe sorry, did you say bikers.
Speaker 7: Said Bikersers come up with bikers?
Speaker 6: Bikers do come up with their last Yeah?
Speaker 7: Would you open some weeds somewhere? Because I feel like
Speaker 7: I'm smelling it?
Speaker 3: Are you smelling? Smelling a little? Not how we works,
Speaker 3: especially if you're merely the scent. What's your favorite furlough activity?
Speaker 5: I memorized the to be or not to be monologue
Speaker 5: from Shakespeare? What did you do?
Speaker 4: I got into windsurfing?
Speaker 3: Awesome?
Speaker 5: Yes, it is really interesting.
Speaker 3: Did you go to that indoor center?
Speaker 4: Here in the middle of an indoor windsurfing center, It's awesome.
Speaker 3: It's behind the color of my mind.
Speaker 4: The fail compilations that that place is producing is insane.
Speaker 4: Wind in the air. It is both skydiving and surfing, blowing.
Speaker 3: Wind at these people with a windsurf who've never done it.
Speaker 1: I feel like I do feel like I'm in some
Speaker 1: sort of surrenst inception like thing when I go there,
Speaker 1: because they're doing at the same time.
Speaker 3: There's somebody windsurfing next to somebody mid air and I'm like,
Speaker 3: where are we.
Speaker 4: Figure? It's so fun. I love it so much. It's amazing,
Speaker 4: And yeah, it was one of my favorite for low activities.
Speaker 5: All right, we talked about whole week.
Speaker 7: Now let's talk about Christmas time at bolt Christmas.
Speaker 3: Christmas we don't do a lot. Actually, it's kind of
Speaker 3: the same.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it is non Bolts time to shattering time.
Speaker 4: Batter Stand's most fearful time was Christmas. It was Chris
Speaker 4: so scared, it was. It was very down, I would
Speaker 4: say in this.
Speaker 5: And so I think it's sort of stemmed from will
Speaker 5: a variety of things, of course, but not to waste
Speaker 5: time here. It was.
Speaker 6: It's stemmed from wanting to bring light to the world.
Speaker 5: And I think that is word for word, that's what,
Speaker 5: that's what. Thank you so much for saying that. And
Speaker 5: I also think that when right and so right, and
Speaker 5: so thank you. And so what I was going to
Speaker 5: say is that we were going to go with just
Speaker 5: a light show, you know, where we all dance around
Speaker 5: and do lights and such, but we said, well, why
Speaker 5: don't we get to the root of the light, and
Speaker 5: why why don't we get to the root of the
Speaker 5: source of the light. And I know you know this
Speaker 5: well as my partner in crime, stopadd and crime. And
Speaker 5: so instead of just instead of the excuse me, instead.
Speaker 3: Of my partner is talking, excuse me, my partner in
Speaker 3: crime is talking.
Speaker 2: Instead of just the excuse me, she's coming up with
Speaker 2: a new lights.
Speaker 5: Instead of just the instead of just the housing of
Speaker 5: the light, be the light.
Speaker 3: That's awesome.
Speaker 1: So essentially what it looks like is you plug in
Speaker 1: exposed blue oil, you bluetooth and exposed tesla coil on
Speaker 1: top of an inverted Christmas tree that is not decorated.
Speaker 5: And that's how the Germans do it. Yeah, yeah, and
Speaker 5: I try to take inspiration from them anytime I can't.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, because old German world.
Speaker 6: And that has since been old.
Speaker 4: Yeah we lost that.
Speaker 5: They lost, to be honest, they lost.
Speaker 3: It's pre pre World War One Germany. It's it's Preussia vibes. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's pressure. Yeah, pressure lives, you know.
Speaker 1: I would also say one of my favorite things is
Speaker 1: to celebrate you know, Dan Gumpshin's Christmas. They replace all
Speaker 1: the food vendors in the park with day old leftovers. Yes,
Speaker 1: and you can get them anywhere and you.
Speaker 7: Could drop them off you want your mama's cooking, Yes.
Speaker 5: You could drop like a salvation army.
Speaker 1: Of Yeah, we will take your day old food and
Speaker 1: we will sell it for forty dollars.
Speaker 6: Yes, we love enough charge.
Speaker 7: We all get in line in the microwave and I'm
Speaker 7: I'm standing on the microwave.
Speaker 5: And there's one microwave to there's only one.
Speaker 3: I mean, so microwave Hooters. Yeah, you guys know the
Speaker 3: way Hooters dance.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm the microwave back.
Speaker 4: The food court monster comes alive that day.
Speaker 2: It's really fun.

Speaker 1: these people the world of social media. We love you guys,
Speaker 1: Thank you for coming to support Gumption Point.

Speaker 3: So they're trying to grill. They're trying.
Speaker 1: They've gotten so comfortable with us as characters and they
Speaker 1: come up filming tiktoks, Yeah, and they start asking us things.
Speaker 3: They start trying to force that they have a relationship with.
Speaker 6: Yes, it's parasocial.
Speaker 3: It's parasocial. It's a little weird.
Speaker 5: I have people that that actually make their own cost plays.
Speaker 5: It's almost like a gumption bound where they dress as
Speaker 5: a watch battery. And to me that's that's a sight
Speaker 5: and it's not the same. And to me it's like
Speaker 5: who you trying to be?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really weird. And again we are very pro
Speaker 1: gumption bounding. We've said this before. Just not blurry world.

Speaker 7: to do. But please do not come blurry.
Speaker 3: It's amazing you've done that. We wish we could do that.
Speaker 5: At our part to say I was even just don't

Speaker 7: to talk about the Georgia outback houses, which is the
Speaker 7: lady bathroom.
Speaker 4: So the one car Dan Gumps dedicated to his wife
Speaker 4: was the outback bathrooms.

Speaker 3: And they wear them all around their neck like that
Speaker 3: weird scary story.
Speaker 5: Well, I've seen some pins, but it's more they don't
Speaker 5: have the backings. So right, it's just right to the skin,
Speaker 5: which is good. And I wear mine with honor and pride.
Speaker 5: But at some point, right and so and then the
Speaker 5: scar tissue so you can't necessarily take them out tally,
Speaker 5: so you can't trade them. Do you have parents, No,
