1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: The Laundronauts is a production of I Heart Radio. This

2
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: is what we remember and remember, this is what it

3
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:18,319
Speaker 1: sounded like. What we couldn't hear, we made up. The

4
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: rest of it is untrue. Dois? Yeah? Oh please you do?

5
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: I'm given such headache. Guiana the Guiana cutting Sir man children,

6
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: We're back, not a stitch wiser. It's been the entire

7
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: weekful into my puddles and purposer. I kept dropping pizza

8
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 1: in my land. Yes, we all have our causes to

9
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: bear and our bears to cross. No, no, nevertheless, time gallops. Indeed,

10
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: Now what follows next, my citchlings, are the seven Londron Articles.

11
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: The words you are able to hear come directly from

12
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: each of our first person written accounts. These are the

13
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: sacred texts, whence all knowledge of the London Arts is derived.

14
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: So what was that first story? Then? The one with

15
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: Nick and Nona, That, my dear, was what we called

16
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: the beginning of the beginning, called the beatim from our

17
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: group general. Our goal with the London Articles was never

18
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: to confuse or confound with more kid do Hunsel and

19
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: gotels read clubs a tail if you will back so tired,

20
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: So the next generation could correctly the stakes we would

21
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: inevitable they make or carry on if we never returned,

22
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: never returned, well, mistakes, sir, all will be made down

23
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: in its own time and proper order. Shishlings now listen

24
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: as I unspooled the Londronautical Pariakayama Hennigan code named the

25
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: rabbitma that his middle name, Sir is Perry Japanese. I

26
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 1: thought I didn't submitted into the londron Out annuals. On Thursday,

27
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: November second, nineteen, we reconvene next at Nick Gorski's family

28
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: mansion and Northy, Are you sure we're supposed to be Unick?

29
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: I mean, has anyone ever been here? It's so cool.

30
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: We haven't made, Jonica, you sure do haven't made? And yes,

31
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: we're supposed to be here. My parents suggested it strongly.

32
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: You don't have a lot of friends, do Unich. Funny?

33
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: Since their return, Nick and Mona's relationship has grown increasingly complicated.

34
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: Is this what happens when you grow two sizes? Yes? No,

35
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: I've got pink lemon for the king, my queen. My

36
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: lush could stand to lose. The po though has bruised

37
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: my flesh and my pride to be to Chase and

38
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: new woman. Sorry next parents were filthy, rich and completely

39
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: not but they were just so darned giddy and generous

40
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: all the time. It was hard not to like them.

41
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: But why would you ever? I don't hear you. Hear you?

42
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,839
Speaker 1: Our next mission shall be one of reconnaissance and reconnaissance

43
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: alone if you knew with that word manly agreed. The

44
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: big question is who goes well? I think that's obvious Me, Benny, valuable,

45
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: And I know what valuable means. Okay, I'm coming back.

46
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: I'm a soda pup. I meant me. I'm the only

47
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: one who knows what raisin sauce means, what scout gang,

48
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: I'm clearly the best burglar, not in like Billbill Baggins

49
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: in my favorite book, The Hobbit. And I'm the one

50
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: who's folks just bought the least to the washingtarium from

51
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: Nick's pop What when? Why do you think I was

52
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: there Nick when it happened. Once the paperwork's done, i'll

53
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: have easiest access to the joint. Think you can handle it, Perry, Yeah,

54
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: you've got a little frazzled. Last time you crawled in there,

55
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: I had to take a little net didn't. I am

56
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: clearly the best choice, and I agree that the next

57
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: mission should be one of Project Raisin Sauce and Project

58
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: Raisin Sauce alone. What It's not raisins Auset's Raisin Sauces,

59
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: Raisin Sauce, Recon sas and Sauce Sauce. We ultimately succumbed

60
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: to Perry's tsunami of stupidity. Perry would go next into Absentia.

61
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: That was voted as our name for the world beyond

62
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: the Jumble trump. Other choices were presented, the Land of

63
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,559
Speaker 1: Lost Objects or LOLA for short, the Land of Lost

64
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: and Living Objects or La la Leaf for shorts, or

65
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: Absentia it meant in his absence, Mona made his vote

66
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: on every including our code name, all in favor of

67
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: the rabbit. Nay, how about the Burmese Python voted Cobra slinky.

68
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: Perry ultimately relented his code name. While annoying was not

69
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: his top priority getting big watch. He kept this secret

70
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: motivation hidden the other but in private, you're going in next, Perry,

71
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: and you're going to get big No more getting stuffed

72
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: into trash cans and jim lockers and washing machinets never again,

73
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: not in my watch, and Perry will go in alone.

74
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: What didn't we agree that traveling in pears might be safer,

75
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: but Perry project Raisin Sauce calls for the best billboat

76
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: back and Spurgler and the barn. What other choice could

77
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: there be? But the Project Raisin Sauce was quickly defined.

78
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: Get into absentia unnoticed, gather info unnoticed, get out of

79
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 1: absentia unnoticed, sess the lay of the land, a feel

80
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: for the natives, and most importantly, the whereabouts of Sludge himself.

81
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: We thought it would to focus to have an enemy

82
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: with a more villainous sounding name than j D. It

83
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: help us defeat him, even though we were trying to

84
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 1: save him. Other suggestions included the Great Lord of the

85
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: oily Army of Darkness, or Glad for short, howbulous the

86
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: gap in month or sludge Benny immediately because there's only six?

87
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: Could you shriek that again into my other ear? Dear,

88
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: I think you've blown the cockley out of this one.

89
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: There are only six laundronots. That's true, sir, There's you, Jonica, Benny, Perry, Mona,

90
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: and nic At six. You said there were seven, L Yes,

91
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: I did. Is there another to join, sir? Perhaps is

92
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: j D the seven? Perhaps? Or maybe Kelly Evans? Perhaps?

93
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: Why do you keep saying? Perhaps? Perhaps because I haven't

94
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: finished my story? Pre cance If you continued, sir, well bridged, commador,

95
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: Why are you used between sides? You're a benedic donald.

96
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: I am not a bent in norld. I'm a large logical,

97
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: logical beyond your lotitude, sir, never mind, proceed proceeding all

98
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: wordsla of Saint Xavier's Elementary Then the immediately began preparing

99
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: what he called Harry's incursion plan. In the Absentia by

100
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: Benjamin Franklin King Gold gain information that will help us

101
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: extract j D from absential obstacles. One j D himself

102
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: a k a sludge. Two sludge is army of oily darkness,

103
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: and three unknown steps prepare enter hid, explore map, exit report,

104
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: or hammer for sure? What if I have to urinate?

105
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: Put urinate between explore in map that would make it

106
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: put humor? Your innate is part of prepare the hammer.

107
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: A good incursion plan on seven steps got six missing,

108
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: you got eight. Benny had a special way of breaking

109
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: things down like a carpenter or a mechanic. His father, Mr. Kinglin,

110
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: was trained to be part of the fifty four Coast

111
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 1: Artillery Regiment, the first all black unit of its kind.

112
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: Then he whishped his father, soaking up everything he did,

113
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: and said, Benny's brand was a machine. He could see

114
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: how things fit this, then this, then this, until you

115
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: had a whole. He came up with the sock suit.

116
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 1: Nick and Mona were attacked because they were not by

117
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: sluds the keys to get an absentially unnoticed in the

118
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: way to do that used to go and camouflaged as

119
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: a suck. But it's foot layer. Would you rather be

120
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: a jock struck? Perry had to appreciate the practicality of

121
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: the plat. He also had to appreciate the extra alone

122
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: time he got with Jonica, the seamstress, haberdasher Taylor and

123
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: all around master craftswoman of the group. She was tasked

124
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: with darning Perry into his new skins. I never knew

125
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: there could be so many pockets in a sock. Perry

126
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: was able to carry his canteen, compass, flashlight, petzels, Swiss

127
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: army pen knife, yo yo catch bad pencils. Lucky Walden

128
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: with picture of Grandpa Hockey inside petzels, and most importantly

129
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: the carrots and plum. These were voted the code names

130
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: for the first pen and pucket watch pluffed in absential.

131
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: The other two were now known as Karrot too and

132
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: plum too. Hump to to receive signal fifteen minutes to

133
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: get to gumber, try too to complete extraction, plumb to

134
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: send signal fifteen minutes to get to the keyhole, carrot

135
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: to complete extraction. Jonica also offered Perry techniques to help

136
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: cool when under dress decompress. You just have to breathe

137
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: and stay open to what everything. Like this morning, I'm

138
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: pushing my mom along in her wheelchair, right coming back

139
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: from our daily visit to the war, just whistling and

140
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: skipping along, and I see this old guy across the

141
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: street with these blankets hanging off him like he's some

142
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: Roman emperor or something. He's staring into the window of

143
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: Harry's Hardware, but it's not even open. Then he starts

144
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: crying sobbing, he crumples. Next thing I know, I'm across

145
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: the street tugging on his shirt and telling him to

146
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 1: buck up. Then mother yelled at me. Anyway, I wouldn't

147
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: have noticed him and been able to help if I

148
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: wasn't open to the moment. Wait, why blankets or just

149
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: make up a silly rhyme? Really do you have one? Sure?

150
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: Most people do? Can I hear it you first? Fine?

151
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: A teeny we be so gleefully free sees thee and

152
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: me sneeze and flees to these trees. Brother, Now, when

153
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: you feel anxious, just say it over and over and

154
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: it'll put a butterfly in your heart and a puppy

155
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: dog in your head. What about a kitten up my nose, Harry,

156
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: let's hear yours maybe when you get back. Unfair? How

157
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: easy with the needle? Well stop moving. A date was

158
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: set for Perry's and kursh His parents, hold her son

159
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: and Ocasan were visiting relations in Okinawa. Perry would stay

160
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: with the course keys while they were gone. Mom Poborsky

161
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: had no knowledge of this arrangement. Of course they very did,

162
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: but we're always happy to help. Jonica was voted Perry's

163
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: liason between the worlds you mostly to your homes foximity

164
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: to the washing Tior, and was given charge of plump

165
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: to and care of but Perry. This made Jonica is

166
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: guardian angel, but John Nica. This made Perry her daily burden.

167
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: Once Perry overcame his initial fear of the JumboTron, using

168
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: Jonica's new comic technique, be so gleefully free, He's beaten

169
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: me feed. His experience of entering Absentia was bubble, bubble, flash, slash,

170
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: and falling in the sky pillows. He could have bounced

171
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: around in that marshallow loveliness flowers, but he was on

172
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: a mission, so he let the current carry him down

173
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: through the bowels of the mountain, spit him out of

174
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: crevice down a flowing succulent for he was finally sprayed

175
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,479
Speaker 1: out onto the foothills. With the rest of the footwear

176
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: he made like suck. Absentia was just as Nick and

177
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: Mona had described. At the foot of the slope, the

178
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: ground leveled off and ran across a rainbow striped plane.

179
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: That meant an ominous looking forest. That was where sludge

180
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: had come from with his army of oil. That was

181
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: where Perry would need to go. Perry spun to the sound.

182
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: There was no one our swords, even years of hide

183
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: and seek with his siblings, and it tuned Perry to

184
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: something beyond sight beyond sound. It was more like smell

185
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: or taste. Perry called it smaced once activated, never wrong.

186
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: Perry was being watched. He slowly reached into his socks

187
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: and spun back, brandishing his Swiss army tweezers. Damn it,

188
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: I can never make Perry could neither complete the sentence

189
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: nor the thought for. Standing in front of him was

190
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: a fifteen foot living, breathing, or as it's known in

191
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: the English for nack suck. This was the first time

192
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: Perry had spoken Japanese and three years such was his

193
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: suck shock. The giant creature was plaid patterned, thatched, and tweety.

194
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: Loose threads jangled from it like tufts of hair. Hi,

195
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: I'm a lad. The suck archdown loading. Perry stayed still

196
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: as I twisted around him like a corkscreote python, examining

197
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: him from every possible angle. It reached out a tendroom

198
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: and touched his arm. A tiny bolt of lightning leaped

199
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: between them. Perry jumped, the sock recoiled like a tape picture. WHOA,

200
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: that was utterly intercontinental. Hey you know I do that

201
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: lightning thing in my bed sometimes put the sheet over

202
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: my head, rub it with my fingers. It's a little

203
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: electrical story, you know. It was at that moment that

204
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: Perry realized he'd barely been in absentia for five minutes

205
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: and he had already failed in his primary directive, no

206
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: engagement attainey, we be so gleefully free sees the This

207
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: thing thinks from a sock. It hasn't even seen my face.

208
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: It's only heard my voice. And maybe socks don't speak

209
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: in absension. That puts me in a position of power, right, right, right.

210
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: Mostly satisfied with the results of his internal debate, Perry

211
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: took a residute step towards the creature name and rank soldier.

212
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: Sucks sprang to attention, tremor ran through its scenes. Are

213
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: you mute? I wish I had a mute button. Sometimes

214
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: it's like I have to say every little thing that

215
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: comes into my head, even when I have no idea

216
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: what it is. I'm actually like the Christian began to quiver.

217
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: Are you laughing at me? Sucks stopped and shrub as

218
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: much as a sock shrub happens all the time. I'm

219
00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: a friend of your leader. J D. Sludge swir old

220
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,199
Speaker 1: buddies actually sock began quivering again. This time it was

221
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: not from lefter, but not good buddies, What's what's wrong?

222
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: Verry activated the snake. Something was approaching. The sock collapsed

223
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: the little pile of laundry. There's a cold shadow crept over.

224
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 1: Perry released a nicey breath and slowly turned. Nick and

225
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: Mona were right. J D was much older. His hair

226
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: was long and gray, draped over his shoulders. His thick

227
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: silver whiskers moved as if they had a will of

228
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: their own, but he was still wearing those stupid glasses

229
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: with tape on the frames. Perry brandished the Swiss Army tweezers. Hey, JD,

230
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 1: it's me, remember Perry, pack me in a true one

231
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: ship to Kalamazoo. Perry, Hey, easy, buddy. Verry did not

232
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: even realized he was walking backwards until he slammed into

233
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: something solid behind him. He looked up. It was the sock.

234
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: It had again stretched to its full height and was trembling. Sludge.

235
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: Pointed his oily finger at the creature. You're already in

236
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 1: deep trouble, suckling, don't mind it, he worse. The suckling

237
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: looked don at Perry. Perry looked up. He could have

238
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: sworn it, smiled as much as a sock and smile.

239
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: Then the suckling punched you. Perry been used as a

240
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: substitute for many inanimate objects in his life second vase,

241
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: door stop, toilet puncher, but never before had he been

242
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: used as a football. For a moment, Perry was one

243
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: with the air. Then he hit the canopy of the

244
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: forest and smashed through it. He landed, and landed and

245
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: landed some more. Fortunately Jonica had some own sock absorbers

246
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: into his suit. Perry activated the space no one. The

247
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: gloom was thick around him except for muted globe beneath

248
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: his feet. A faint hum in the air. Perry placed

249
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: his ear against the ground, a vibration like an approaching

250
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: trolley on a train track. You're gonna find the source

251
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: of that sound, Perry, You're gonna blaze this true for

252
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: the laundronauts like Sharascio Boom, you rascally rabbit. You so

253
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: I think he's written down? Or what excuse me? These

254
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: laundron articles? Are they actually written down somewhere? Are you

255
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: just making them up as you go along? Because it

256
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: sounds like the unabashed audacity to challenge the voracity of

257
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: my where are the pages? I certainly can't be tripishing

258
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: about with them on my person, can I? There is

259
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: I thereabout? And whereabouts? Is thereabouts? Thereabouts? Is whereabouts they

260
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 1: per happenstand? Might be that doesn't make any sense. Neither

261
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: does your lack of faith. She's like a honey badger.

262
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: So I've ascertained, Yes, they are written down, that they

263
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: are currently beyond our reach, which is why I have

264
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: committed them to the most trusted vault in all the land.

265
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: My brain, I need to see them. I'm sorry. I'm

266
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: a very literal little girl. According to the entire planet

267
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 1: that would be our mother. Sure, quiet, literally, you are

268
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 1: a scientist, my dear, You're a beacon of hypothesis, evidence, conclusion.

269
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: Let us pledge to retrieve the nauticles together. I can

270
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: think of no better protective for them. Yes, I guess

271
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: you guess. There's no time for the washing of a wishy.

272
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: If you had the text in your hands, you would

273
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 1: protect them with life and limb if necessary, Yes or no? Yes?

274
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: Why I would? They were real and once knowing, there's

275
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: no not knowing. Indeed, it's not always like that, though,

276
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: What do you mean, dude, what do you do when

277
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: what you thought you knew is no longer true? Did

278
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: you be more specific? No? I can't swer, Mom and Dad.

279
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: I think I understand myself. Not only are you are

280
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: stitchling of the highest order, you're a guardian of the

281
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: gate and a knight of the broken table. Yeah, I

282
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: guess I am trying to tell your shoe because I'm happy.

283
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: I'm attempting to bow me warriors sister's meticulous magnificence. It'll

284
00:21:52,920 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: have to wait. Perry was equally the tickets with his mapping.

285
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: He had so failed in his non engagement and hide

286
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: orders that he's more determined than ever to make a difference.

287
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: Using his flashlight encompass, he began tying purple twine to

288
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 1: a tree every minute, noting down the direction, counting off

289
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: the seconds, checking his accuracy against the plum, which continued

290
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: to take off real world seconds and minutes and two

291
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: hours it feels like two months. Perry went socks still,

292
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: clicked off his flashlight. The sound came again, followed by

293
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: a rumbling, followed by a clanging. Perry dumped behind a rock.

294
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: Sounds surrounded him. A basket weaver the ground beneath his

295
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: feet was rising. Something smooth, huge, rounded the rocks and

296
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: trees rolled off its surface. Perry started to slide with

297
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: the breath. It looked down glass. He was sliding down

298
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: a dome of glass, like the face of a giant

299
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: pocket watch. He could see the city below, a city

300
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: shaped like the inner workings of a Perry hit solid

301
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: ground and everything went swirly stars. The dome was hinged.

302
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: It was now opening towards Perry. He curled up into

303
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: a sock ball, closed his eyes and prayed, continuing, be

304
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: so bleefully freezes these and free. Perry opened his eyes.

305
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: The dome was standing at an I degree angle, rising

306
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: up through the tree tops, a huge hole and opening

307
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: the ground. On the other side of the dome, something

308
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: was approaching the whole, rumbling through the trees. As Perry

309
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: described him upon his return, watches the size of tanks.

310
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: A caravan of watches cooking together as they rumbled forward

311
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 1: like years playing meat frock to mean looking clock guards appeared,

312
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 1: and the caravan came to a halt. One of the

313
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 1: watches rolled forward and clicked open its body. Inside was

314
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: a cycling bound and stretched on its inerts like on

315
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: a medieval torture rack. The watch snapped shut, swallowing suckling again.

316
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: Caravan rumbled forward and vanished into the city below. The

317
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: clock guards followed, and the whole process reversed itself. The

318
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 1: dome closed, sunk back into the ground. The earthen trees

319
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: rolled back over the top utterly intercontinental Perry the n

320
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: mapping like a crhotographer on cracker jacks. The encircled the

321
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: area with purple twine and sketched down all the landmarks,

322
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 1: noted every detail. Hours later, exhausted, Perry stopped to admire

323
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: his work. Hot bad. He slipped out his lucky wallet

324
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: and took out the weathered photo of his grandfather, his

325
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: father's father, a Kiakira Akiyama, as a boy. This is

326
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: as good a final resting spot as any Grandpa. You

327
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: put the photo back in the wallet, bowed to it,

328
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: knelt and buried the wallet in the ground. I pronounce

329
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: you a state of cataclysmia. Flowering bush of crimson wallets

330
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: sprouted from the ground. The wallets took flight, fluttering like butterflies,

331
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: swirling around Perry. They won't be able to miss that.

332
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: Then Perry gathered up his things, fought every instinct to

333
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: explore the city further, and resumed his mapping of the

334
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 1: forest projects. Raisin sauce was not yet complete. Onwards. Hours later,

335
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: hours that felt like days, Perry reached the edge of

336
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: the ominous forest and poked his nose out of the

337
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 1: trees to discover nothing. Everything was gone, suck mountain, the

338
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: invisible keyhole, the rainbow striped playing gone. He'd emerged into

339
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: a tundra of utter absence. He turned back, but the

340
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: forest had also vanished. His heart began thumping like a

341
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: bunny caught in a bear trap. You are a laund

342
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: or not. You are a great explorer like Sharassi Nobu.

343
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: You are Perry Akiyama Hanagan. Perry turned defiantly and held

344
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: out the carrot. He closed his eyes, took a deep

345
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: breath and spoke a teeny wee be so gleefully free

346
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: sees thee and he sneeze and flees to these trees.

347
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:52,360
Speaker 1: And answer that came with a voice, melody songs Basco

348
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: and the gamma. Then again hand again, everybody Halla, sir Francis,

349
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: and again begin again to quivering quick rasty you knew

350
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,040

351
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: or for you. Rass No give you what to do.

352
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: That Darctic was not too far for him for you.

353
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: JOSSI are Actiamna. Make you want to shake your little

354
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 1: body atiam a preemdonna. I am i be JAROSSI had

355
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: a hankering for polar exploration of a ninety ten, settled

356
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: on a plus for himsel nation, and I did wellthy

357
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: raised just like okay, Edward laugh noways away for all

358
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: the people of Japan. Noble place to wait for all

359
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: the people of Japan. You know what to do. Etarctica

360
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: was anti far for him, all for you. She from

361
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: him for you. Perry opened his eyes. The carrot glowed

362
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: in his hand like an orange sun about to go supernova,

363
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: Utterly intercontinental. He stabbed the pen into the nothingness and

364
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:29,199
Speaker 1: squeezed a delta of orange rivulates shut out. Bonsai trees

365
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: sprouted from the rivulets. Roots snaked out from below the

366
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: Bontaie trees, filling the ground with dimension and depth. The

367
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: cobalt blue exploded from out of the bonsaide branches, filling

368
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: the sky with hue and hype. Just strange feeling is

369
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: a Jane Barry. Perry searched for the source of the

370
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: thunderclap that had just rattled his molars. Noah, he engaged

371
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: the space. I felt the same when I first arrived

372
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: at Absent Shan. Nice name, by the way, Absana. Funny

373
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: How I never thought your name this place. I just

374
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: didn't see The boy very heldly carried out of the sword,

375
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: his hand trimming. Is that you hello? Sludge? Please? I

Speaker 1: he know? Around you? Pary p? He did and swooned

381
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: his bonds. I forest, it stopped growing, The trees barely

382
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: reached his waist. He could see suck Martain in the distance,

383
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: the sucks falling from the indivisible keyhole. In the sky.

384
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: He could see the ominous forest, the rainbow striped plane,

385
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: and beyond. Did you see everything? I'm I'm big, Yes,

Speaker 1: I've never told in you in my middle name. I've

389
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: never even told anyone I had a middle name, and

390
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: answered J. D. Belzel. The one time punching bag of

391
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: Saint Xavier's Elementary rose out of the ground like a

392
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: mountain of coal until he and Perry were standing eye die,
