1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: A time travelers. This has head the Iine Horn, co

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: creator of Nicki Fixes Time nix up. Next, be kind

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: and rewind to the nineties for a most epic episode

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: of Nicki Fix. But first, a quick word from our sponsor,

5
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: Iron Horn's Epic Productions and I Heart Radio present Nikki

6
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: Fixes Time Mix. What happened? You will saw that right

7
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: to guitar? Just man, it's lit up? And then everything

8
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:44,919
Speaker 1: when wobbly. And now we're in the storage room somehow,

9
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: maybe we were electrocuted. You don't look electrocuted. No smoke.

10
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: Your hair looks great. By the way, Well we're not dead.

11
00:00:54,880 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: I feel a pulse. Where's been there? I'm going to

12
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: get my key. You better be gone by the time

13
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: I get back. Who the heck was that? I thought

14
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: we were here alone this morning? Already? That could be

15
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: the foreman from the demolition crew, Bobby Liam. Look around.

16
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: Something's not right here in point of focus already, Nikki, No,

17
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: I need look at this. It's Ben's carving of the

18
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: seventies skaters that's usually hanging on the wall between the restrooms.

19
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: But it's not finished. Then must have taken it down.

20
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: Maybe he's taking it with him after all. But wasn't

21
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: it still hanging there literally five seconds ago? Or was

22
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: it last night? I can't actually tell how long we've

23
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: been out. It looks brand new, like it's lost decades

24
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: of grime. No way, no, no, no, no, no no

25
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: no no, not in away, not possible. We're all waiting

26
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: for the follow up here, Liam, what's not possible? I

27
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: think I know what happened. We've time traveled. Okay, well

28
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: this was fun, but the sun is up. Liam's lost

29
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 1: his mind and I have to get home for brunch later.

30
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: You've had your warning. I'm coming in. Who the heck

31
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 1: are you people? What are you doing in here? Are we?

32
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: Who are you? I'm Leonard, the assistant manager, assistant manager

33
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: of what of? What are you serious? Wow? You are okay?

34
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: This is the Millennium Rink in Old Bridge, New Jersey,

35
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: ring any bells and your trespassing now is when you

36
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: get up and leave. Here's no assistant manager here. We

37
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't know. You would know. I would know. And it's

38
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: Saturday morning. I have eight year olds here for our

39
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: birthday party, and now I have to get you all

40
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: out of here before the board and irritable parents start

41
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: freaking out. About the apparent hobo camp. We're running in

42
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: the storeroom, so let's go. It's Saturday, yeah, and the

43
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: year is okay ha ha ha ha. Okay, you've had

44
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 1: your fun. This area is off limits. Who let you

45
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: in here? To begin with? Ben did okay figures? I

46
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: keep telling him to draw a harder line with the

47
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: local youth. Aren't you a local youth? I'm a sophomore

48
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: in college. Come on, grab your gear and vacate the premises,

49
00:03:47,960 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: I said, move its breadth breast, want to activate? Let's

50
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: go this way? Hey, you try to wear this HIGs

51
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: into the bathroom sign? Do we know this guy who

52
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: you practically live at the rink? And that guy definitely

53
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: doesn't work here, but he could have worked here in

54
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: the past. I feel fine, but I'm pretty sure Lio

55
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: here hit his head. Check for lumps man. There's a

56
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: backup over at concessions. See yourselves out, and I better

57
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: not find you here when I get back places or whatever.

58
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. Rink people are here, hitch me

59
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: ow hard. Sorry, Look how new that floor looks. It's

60
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: so shiny. At an arcane corner and Mortal Kombat three

61
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: and Original Cabinetlium question if we have actually traveled back

62
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: in time? Not you too, we said, if then, what

63
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: are we doing here? I'm guessing that it's some kind

64
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: of quest. The guitar is the key that ignited the

65
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: thin membrane between timelines, and we likely have to fix

66
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: something to get back time travel. One oh one. Nonsense

67
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: one oh one from the Nonsense Committee. We just inhaled

68
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: some toxic fumes overnight, or we're all currently having the

69
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: same weird dream we have most definitely not time travel.

70
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: Nothing about that is logical. Bobby, are you seeing that

71
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: kid rolling by his hair? Is that lot iCal? Oh?

72
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: This is crazy. We just have to check our phones

73
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: to tell us the date, and of course my phone

74
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: is dark. Check yours? Dead mine too. See, my dad's

75
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: talked about growing up without phones all the time. I

76
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: mean like there were phones, but not cell phones. There

77
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: were definitely cell phones like Zach Morris, giant brick cell phones,

78
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: but no modern cell towers, so our phones can't connect. No,

79
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: this is ridiculous. They just got pried. It must have

80
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: been some electrical surge that knocked us out and messed

81
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: up our phones. This is really real. We're in the nineties, right,

82
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: But we need to figure out why we were brought

83
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: to this particular point in time and what point that

84
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: actually is. What's the year the date? And why is

85
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: this a nexus? And what cosmic purpose brought us here?

86
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: Now I have two lunatics to deal with. Do you

87
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: even hear yourselves? Oh, Bobby chill, disbelief is perfectly natural.

88
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: But trust me, will be fine if we follow a

89
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: few simple rules. Rules. Yeah, like number one, don't meet yourself,

90
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: easy enough. None of us are born yet, Okay, okay,

91
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: see things already aren't so bad. Oh, and don't mess

92
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: with the spacetime continuum. That could be dangerous. Dangerous how

93
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: well like step out a butterfly, Chaine history, causing apocalypse,

94
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: not get born, start a war, create lobster flavored oreos.

95
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. None of those things are going to happen.

96
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: We just have to figure out why we're here, which

97
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: is probably connected to whatever was happening right before we left. Nope, nope, nope,

98
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: I got one big bag of note for this whole theory.

99
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to find then who's going to explain this

100
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: whole thing, and then put the both of you into

101
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: concussion protocol Bobby, it's super important that we all stay together. Bobby.

102
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: Wait up, time Denier, typical Bobby, Bobby, are you okay?

103
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: Talk to me? It's impossible. This is all some sort

104
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: of set up, a set up. Someone came out to

105
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: Old Bridge overnight, replaced all the cars and the storefronts

106
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: and everybody's wardrobes. Are we in the Truman Show? Hello?

107
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: Is this some insane reality prank thing? Where are the cameras?

108
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: Are you an actor? Why? Yes? See, we're doing phantom

109
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: in the basement over at St. Catherine's. You should come, Bobby,

110
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: take a deep breath and two chill. Okay, now look

111
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: right over there. What do you see? Newspapers? Right? Newspapers.

112
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: We're going to go look at the newspapers and we're

113
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: going to check the date. Okay, okay, fine here, now

114
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: do you see read it out loud? September? So what's

115
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: it say? When are we? You are right? Liamb We've

116
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: traveled back in time. We're in m hey, Nicky stands.

117
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: Want to uncover more epic time travel secrets, head to

118
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: ep universe on Instagram and TikTok for more totally twisty details.

119
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: More Nicki fixes up next, but First, a quick word

120
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:16,719
Speaker 1: from our sponsor. Hey, time travelers, welcome back. I want

121
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 1: to uncover more totally twisty time travel Secrets. Had to

122
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: e ep universe dot com to learn more. Okay, so

123
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: how did this happen? We were doing a vigil for

124
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: the rank. The candles were all lit. Then Liam showed up.

125
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 1: Don't you remember we were making wishes. It was the

126
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: wishes bingo, the perfect catalyst. But that can't be the

127
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: only element. What do you mean People make wishes all

128
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: the time, day in and day out. Without something to

129
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: make the wishes come true, like a shooting star or whatever,

130
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 1: They're just empty words. So what made the wishes come true?

131
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: Oh the guitar, of course, Ben said. The guitar was

132
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: made out of the rinks floorboards, and right before he left,

133
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 1: Ben was saying about how he could have bought the

134
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: building back in the nineties. He wished too. That's it.

135
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 1: That's the reason we're here. Not buying the rink was

136
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: Ben's big once in a lifetime regret. Okay, so we

137
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: get Ben to buy the building, rink saved, portal opens,

138
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: We go home exactly. My friends. The magical time beings, lords, gods,

139
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 1: whatever have clearly given us a life altering opportunity to

140
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: save the rink. So we have to find Ben and

141
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: the guitar. Wait, where'd you leave it? Oh? My god,

142
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: we left it at the rink. Holy cannoli. What we

143
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: have to go back and lost? Magical artifact is the

144
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: number one obstacle in time travel narratives. That Mark Leonard

145
00:11:53,280 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: is gonna get it. Now, where did we leave the

146
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: guitar when I was playing it? We were in the

147
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: middle of the rink, but we woke up in the storeroom.

148
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: But I bet he knows where the guitar is already

149
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 1: told you I better not need to come back and

150
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: throw you out? Is he brandishing a bob at us?

151
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: Right away? Running? But lave let's go. Were we clear?

152
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,599
Speaker 1: I think he stopped at the doorway. We'll have to

153
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: come back later. That guy will never let us back in. Okay.

154
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,719
Speaker 1: Now we have to navigate a time where we don't know,

155
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: so we need to stick together. Deal Step one, Adjust

156
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: to your surroundings. Taking it in and no one's still

157
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: our town. It's so weird. Hey, check out those kids

158
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: over there. Look at their clothes, their hair. We look

159
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: totally out of place. We're wearing jeans and a T shirt.

160
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: They're wearing jeans and a T shirt. Camus A dresses

161
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 1: their flannel shirts. They're so many scrunches. I did read

162
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: somewhere that the safest thing to do if your time

163
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 1: travel is to get naked, so no one will know

164
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: about your clothes, what time you're fend We should not

165
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: get naked. Look at that cute little thrift store the

166
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 1: cats me out. Why would they close something like that?

167
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: Probably because it's too fabulous, Nikki, Bobby, we should really

168
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: minimize all encounters with temporal natives. Sure, whatever that means,

169
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: it'll just be safe for him. We look like now unbelievable.

170
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:54,599
Speaker 1: Come on, people, not cool? O? Wait? Is that a

171
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: radio shock? I mean no harm? In the endow shopping

172
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: up it? Oh? I bet I could get needles from

173
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: my record player in there. They're impossible to find me out,

174
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Cat's Meow sales rack? Is me in

175
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: the dressing room? NICKI? Do you see the prices so cheap?

176
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: We should take a bunch of stuff home and sell

177
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: it on that seat. We'd make bang. This sweater would

178
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: look great on you, Bobby? What about this baby doll dress?

179
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try it on. And this camuscle and here

180
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: you should try this crab top. Wow, srike a poles.

181
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah beautiful, Yeah scare let me help you. Hi,

182
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: your store is amazing. Thanks. This store is my baby.

183
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: I'm taking over the empty storefront next door to it

184
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: used to be the Stationary store, but they moved to

185
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: the mall. Okay, so that's a total of thirty h

186
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: Is that a credit card? Yes, it's got a chip

187
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: or touchless. Can you just slide it into your card

188
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: reader or tap it? Tap it? The numbers on the

189
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: card aren't raised. It won't show up on the carbon copies.

190
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: I'll have to call it into the bank. Oh wait, no,

191
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: I don't call it in. We'll play with cash. Bobby

192
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: helped me out. They only have a twenty. I'm sure

193
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: I could take a check. I definitely don't have a check.

194
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: Is this monopoly money? What it's real money? Time travel?

195
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: Are you trying to pass counterfeits? No? No, no, nothing

196
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: to be here. We're going Hi. Sorry, we're not feeling

197
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: we can't leave the money here. The long story ever,

198
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: beat us never saw us that was so close. I

199
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: didn't realize money looked so different. I thought money was

200
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: just money. Maybe Liam was right, keeping her actions to

201
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: a minimum. Wait where is Liam? We lost him? Maybe

202
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: the portal came and scooped him up and we got

203
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: left behind because we didn't stick together. I think that's

204
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: him coming out of that store. Liam, What what happened to?

205
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: Don't go and do anything, or the future world will end?

206
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: Just window shopping at the radio shack And then I

207
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: had to go in. I didn't talk to anyone. I

208
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 1: observed there are literally cable connections for I don't even

209
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: know what. Also, look at this street, bookstore, record store,

210
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 1: video rental place, a freaking candy store. Yeah, but our

211
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: money doesn't work here. Of course it doesn't, which is

212
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: why I borrowed these totally don't exist anymore candy bars

213
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: to sample for science. Oh that's good, you should totally

214
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: bring these back now. I was thinking it's his guitar

215
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: and his ring still, so next up has to be

216
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: finding Ben. But how where does he go besides the

217
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: rank um? I think I know remember how much he

218
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: hates Starbucks. I do seem to remember for him to

219
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: crying corporate coffee imperialists like one to two times, and

220
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: then he inevitably starts reminiscing about what was there before Starbucks,

221
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: the Silver Fork, his favorite diner. Let's go. Huh, Bear,

222
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: I can see the sign the Silver Fork Diner. Look

223
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: at this place, families, old people, high school kids, and

224
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 1: everyone is actually talking to each other. Yeah. I couldn't

225
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: figure out what was different until I realized they're not

226
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: on their phones. I guess here no one worries about

227
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 1: how many likes they're getting, or about performatively posting their

228
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: perfect life. We're really all in our own echo chambers

229
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: back home, aren't we. Okay, so we know Ben's in here,

230
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: but he's twenty something years younger. It's kind of hard

231
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: to imagine Ben as a young guy. I don't even

232
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: know how old he is in our time. I mean,

233
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: like fifty sixty seventy. There he is. Wow, he looks

234
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: exactly the same. Was he born? Looking that old? Ben Brown? Right?

235
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: My name is NICKI fix uh. Congrats. You don't know

236
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: us yet, but we're here from the future with a

237
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: message from your future self. Okay, I get it. I

238
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: know you kids think it's funny to hear me go

239
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: off on one of my what do you call them,

240
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories, But I'm not going to do it. Swear

241
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: we're not trying to make fun of you. We're really

242
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,479
Speaker 1: here from the future. Yeah, okay, why don't you make

243
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: fun of Ben who reads scientific American thinks about quantum physics,

244
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: and believes in global warming in UFOs, I get it.

245
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 1: We wouldn't make fun of you. You're like the adult

246
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: that I we respect most in the world. Kid, I

247
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: don't even know you. That's because we haven't met. I

248
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 1: haven't even been born yet, and we'd all like to

249
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: be born. So can you please help us get back

250
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: to the future. Please listen to our message and help

251
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: us get our guitar back. Your guitar if you kids

252
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: stole my stuff? Hey wait, Ben, he left just like that.

253
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: He doesn't believe us, would you believe you? It's typical

254
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: in a time travel story, convincing the past that they

255
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: are talking with the future is difficult to achieve in

256
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: first encounters. But maybe we did something wrong. Of course,

257
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: we forgot to tell him the most important thing that

258
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: he has to buy the rink. I bet that's where

259
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: he's headed. Let's go. How are we going to get

260
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: into the rank past that Leonard Kid and his assault

261
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: mob through the basement cross Base. That's how I always

262
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: sneak in mm hmmm, Last Skate. I can't believe it's

263
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: that late already. I can't believe Ben is still playing

264
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 1: that same song for last Skate in our time. Kind

265
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: of sweet reminds me of home. We're gonna be stuck

266
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: here forever her, aren't we. This isn't so fun anymore.

267
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: We don't have any money that we can use. We

268
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: have no one we can turn to. We don't even

269
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: have anywhere to stay. Someone's coming. What what is this?

270
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: You better come out of hiding. I'm counting the three,

271
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: one two. If you don't come out, I'll I'll hit

272
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: you with this guitar. Okay, no no, no, no no no,

273
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: don't come guitar. Don't give me don't the guitar three again?

274
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: What are you doing here? We told you we're from

275
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: the future, and you brought this guitar with you. It

276
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: kind of brought us. You gave it to me, Ben,

277
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: you made it. You have to believe us. You said

278
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,719
Speaker 1: that already us. Your name again, My name is Nicky Fix.

279
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: I'm a regular here. I play a show every week

280
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: that pretty much and no one comes to hi I'm Bobby.

281
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: I'm sort of in the band too, and I'm Liam.

282
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: It does kind of look like this guitar that I've

283
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: been working on in here, but it can't be the

284
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: same guitar. First off, yours is red. It's the same guitar.

285
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 1: Can't be. They look similar. But I know my guitars,

286
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: and that would be some trick. Not if we're really

287
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: time travelers, we're looking at a classic time displaced object.

288
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: Look at the knot on the front of the guitars

289
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 1: near the knops. It's the same. You can feel it. Well,

290
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: I'll be darned. I also just finished etching my name

291
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: into it, like a signature where on the back there

292
00:23:54,880 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: look under the pain Let me pull the desk light over. Well,

293
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: I'll be there. It is my name carved in the

294
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: exact spot, the exact same way. It is the same guitar,

295
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: but finished in everything. You know. I got the idea

296
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: when Leonard was helping me pull up some old flooring

297
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: and I thought I could do something with it, kind

298
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: of give the rink a voice. You know. It's the

299
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: rink itself that called us here. I just got goose bumps.

300
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: All right, future kids, get on with it and tell

301
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 1: me the message from the future. Today is the day

302
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: the landlord made you the offer to buy this building. Right,

303
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: that's right. How did you know he said he was

304
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: open to selling and he was giving me a week

305
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: to make the first offer. You have to buy it.

306
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: You didn't do it in the past or I guess

307
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,959
Speaker 1: you're present, I mean our present, and you wind up

308
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 1: regretting it big time. It means that in the future

309
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: the rink is going to be destroyed, demolished, could put

310
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: as of tomorrow, well tomorrow in our time, you know

311
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 1: what I mean? Huh? Well, message delivered. But I'll tell

312
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: you even if my future self insists I'm not buying

313
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: the building. It's too much dealing with banks in the

314
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: city and the state taxes and all that stuff. I'll

315
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 1: just make a handshake deal with the new building owner

316
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: like I did before. Now you can all get into

317
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: your little time machine and go home. Thank you. It

318
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: doesn't work like that. You have to consider the offer. Okay,

319
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: did future me give you any clues on Hi, I'm

320
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: supposed to get the money for a down payment. You

321
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 1: don't have the money. I have not even close. Oh

322
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: well that's that. Now you can go home with all

323
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: due respects, sir, we can't go home until we convince you.

324
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: That's how time loops work. You have to buy the rink,

325
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: then we can go. Well, okay, if that's so, you've

326
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,719
Speaker 1: got one week to convince me and figure out how

327
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: to pay for it. One week that's when the owner

328
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,879
