Speaker 1: It's eleven PM in the Ozarks and you're listening to Nightcolm.
Speaker 1: Hello everybody, and welcome back to Night Call. I am
Speaker 1: test Lynch in the studio in l A with Molly
Speaker 1: Lambert and joining us as always in New York. Emily Orshda. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I was really worried. I was not going to swallow
Speaker 1: a puzzle before I had to say my name. So sorry,
Speaker 1: that's part of the Now I'm announced. You just brought them, Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: and if you'd like to see us all a ton
Speaker 1: of pretzels the driest much. Man, Guys, there's some breaking uh.
Speaker 1: I feel like Night Called Relevant news just yesterday as
Speaker 1: of this recording. True Detective three, m get that Truda
Speaker 1: who's ready for the critical reevaluation of season two? This guy, really,
Speaker 1: I've already seen it out there. I know you're not
Speaker 1: on Twitter anymore, but it's out there and I'm out
Speaker 1: of the TV take economy. But two Detective Season two
Speaker 1: not as bad as everybody thought. It was pretty bad
Speaker 1: in one not as good as everybody thought. Disagree finale,
Speaker 1: I would have to. I think if I think, if
Speaker 1: you went, oh yeah, the finale is terrible. On I've
Speaker 1: remained but it kind of doesn't matter because it took
Speaker 1: us on such a journey, like I've never seen my
Speaker 1: husband get into the Reddit conspiracy that whole thing. He
Speaker 1: was up for like three days. A different time that
Speaker 1: one I know. And it looks like the new season
Speaker 1: of True Detective will also take us to a different time.
Speaker 1: Looks like the either the late seventies or eighties. I
Speaker 1: think so. Um. I think Rolling Stone said that there's
Speaker 1: an eighties timeline for sure, but that it jumps around
Speaker 1: and the premiers is the third season at premieres in January. Um,
Speaker 1: and Nick Pizza Lotto is coming, which is probably he
Speaker 1: was back in the second one to just saying was
Speaker 1: he wait really yeah? Was out? And that led me
Speaker 1: to believe, I'm sorry, Molly, that he was the secret Sie.
Speaker 1: He definitely was, I mean he the direction was what
Speaker 1: made the first season seem better than maybe it actually
Speaker 1: would have been with some some other direction. But again,
Speaker 1: the second season not so bad. Well, I mean what
Speaker 1: I kind of thought that, like, when you're riding that
Speaker 1: high on the first season, you have so much momentum,
Speaker 1: and then you have to reinvent a universe for a
Speaker 1: second season. Is a sophomore slump. But go with me here,
Speaker 1: Like co Can Farrell was so funny in that show.
Speaker 1: Everything he did was like very hilarious. Rachel McAdams was great.
Speaker 1: I am personally very interested in the infrastructure of Vernon, California.
Speaker 1: To me, it was kind of like a lettuce sandwich
Speaker 1: where you're like, it's good, but there's nothing, there's just
Speaker 1: let us. Yeah, let us sandwich is such a perfect
Speaker 1: way to describe that show. The second season, why thank you?
Speaker 1: And not even open face meat. Yeah, it was just
Speaker 1: like it was one of those double decker KFC. It
Speaker 1: could have been that. I would have called it like
Speaker 1: a ruben because it was funky. It had fun. It
Speaker 1: was funky. Matthew McConaughey's mustache is exactly you were like,
Speaker 1: what's different about Yeah. They did not grill the second
Speaker 1: season at all. They didn't even toast a second. As
Speaker 1: I was reading about the third season of True Detective, Um,
Speaker 1: I found the fact that I did not invent a
Speaker 1: lobster farm. And I'm only saying this because I was like,
Speaker 1: was the first season a lobster So? I did not
Speaker 1: invent my childhood lobster farm. There was an article on
Speaker 1: buzz feed about a woman who has a child had
Speaker 1: ordered the exact same thing from the Feo Shorts catalog,
Speaker 1: and uh it was. It was a crazy story. I
Speaker 1: highly recommend you read it if you're interested in lobsters. Yes,
Speaker 1: it was about the lobster. What the lobster did. Okay,
Speaker 1: so she got the lobsters. I think you got nine.
Speaker 1: It was like a three by three grid of like
Speaker 1: these tiny little cubicles. And some of her lobsters died
Speaker 1: pretty early, some of them hung on. And then there's
Speaker 1: one lobster named Big Joe who lived a really long time,
Speaker 1: like more than five years. I mean, imagine having twelve years.
Speaker 1: You said twelve years, No, she said more than She
Speaker 1: said five more years, and I was like, I don't
Speaker 1: know how many years have passed. But so you picture
Speaker 1: a kid, right who's like nine years old, and they're
Speaker 1: like lobsters in my bedroom. So now they're dating, and
Speaker 1: there's a lot there's a huge ass lobster in their room.
Speaker 1: And the lobster was over his life. He was like
Speaker 1: in a small thing, and so he tried to commit
Speaker 1: suicide by climbing out of his cubicle and into her
Speaker 1: dad's shoe closet to die. I know worth reading the
Speaker 1: thing big r I p Big Joe the lobster. I
Speaker 1: mean they lived to be super long, like he still
Speaker 1: would have been kind of a young in at that age.
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I just found out that chickens
Speaker 1: live to be ten and I was like, what can you?
Speaker 1: I mean, it just seems unfair that a dragonfly lives
Speaker 1: for like, you know, in the blink of an eye
Speaker 1: they're gone, and meanwhile the chicken is and they stopped
Speaker 1: laying eggs after a certain point, and then there are
Speaker 1: you against them having a long lifespan. I'm confused. Are you?
Speaker 1: Are you saying that chickens aren't useful as after their past?
Speaker 1: Never say that. I would never say that the hand
Speaker 1: chicken sale, I'm just hand chickens and under his cluck. Um.
Speaker 1: I just feel as though it's not fair how long animals.
Speaker 1: It's just like luck of the draw doesn't there's no
Speaker 1: rhyme or reason how long an animal lives, like a
Speaker 1: big dog leading a shorter life than a chicken. You know,
Speaker 1: it just doesn't seem right. It's all over they it's
Speaker 1: a mess. That's our review of me. Sure it's all
Speaker 1: over the place. Get it together, guys. The fab Fit

Speaker 1: following up on the last episode, we put a poll
Speaker 1: out because um, as those of you who have listened
Speaker 1: to last week's episode, No, we had a really scintillating
Speaker 1: call from a woodworker who wanted to know whether or
Speaker 1: not he should make an awgia board out of a
Speaker 1: possibly haunted and or party to a bloody crime piece
Speaker 1: of wood that some girls wanted him to. We're going
Speaker 1: to pay him to make a newich board out of
Speaker 1: and we pulled our listeners on Twitter, we pulled our
Speaker 1: listeners and then the listeners pulled themselves on Facebook, listeners,
Speaker 1: thank you for the Facebook page. We love that you've
Speaker 1: become a sentient organism. And they were really good options too,
Speaker 1: so froma wait, wait, so go over them. Yeah, they're
Speaker 1: better than the Twitter ones because you can have the
Speaker 1: answers be as long as you want on Facebook. On
Speaker 1: Twitter they have to be super short. So the options
Speaker 1: were returned. Would to its ominous origins, then build a
Speaker 1: Weigia board out of non murder. Would don't tell them
Speaker 1: what you did, charge them double voted for that, build
Speaker 1: the Wigia board, and except that you might be cursed,
Speaker 1: don't build the Wigia board, or just build the Wegia board. Um,
Speaker 1: there's currently return would to its ominous origins. Uh is
Speaker 1: tied with build the Weigia board and except you might
Speaker 1: be cursed, still beating, don't build it, which was my
Speaker 1: against it, against it from the beginning. I mean, honestly,
Speaker 1: I've been thinking about this question last week a strangers
Speaker 1: asking strangers, Um, you know, the jury is really out.
Speaker 1: Some people have very very strong opinions on not building
Speaker 1: the board. Well, also when you brought in, oh, build
Speaker 1: it and then use it to solve the murder, which
Speaker 1: some people are really swayed by that into like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: you have to build it. It's a moral responsibility. And
Speaker 1: I think I also realized that in prior night called canon,
Speaker 1: we've said that like, ghosts won't actually harm you, they
Speaker 1: just want you to solve the mystery or whatever. So
Speaker 1: maybe that preclude it's a curse. Yeah, I mean, I
Speaker 1: think I think listening back to that episode, I was
Speaker 1: very much compelled by your argument about the tackiness of it.
Speaker 1: You're haunted by your own tacky and everyone is like, well,
Speaker 1: I guess it's like you don't have the luigia board
Speaker 1: in your house, but come on, there's going to be
Speaker 1: like an ill heart situation. I'd have to see the
Speaker 1: wood honestly to know how tacky. Because it had a
Speaker 1: dark stain and had discoloration on it. It depends on
Speaker 1: what that means. If it looks obviously like a blood
Speaker 1: stain on it, then that's really fucked up. And they
Speaker 1: know I wouldn't know if it if it's like god
Speaker 1: blood on it. He said it had a had discoloration
Speaker 1: on it. What else could it be? Dr Pepper, It's
Speaker 1: blood somebody damage? Yeah, somebody spilt some milk on the
Speaker 1: floor was like before. And I also say that I
Speaker 1: think for some maybe this is not correct to think this,
Speaker 1: But for some reason, it's also like the fact that
Speaker 1: the murder was so recent that this was like they
Speaker 1: read about a murder in the newspaper, presumably, and then
Speaker 1: went to the house where it happened. It sounds though,
Speaker 1: like enough time has passed that it's like nobody's ever
Speaker 1: going to be able to sell this house. But it's people.
Speaker 1: I imagine a house it's like fallen into disrepair, this
Speaker 1: boarded up that has long grass in the front yard,
Speaker 1: like it's a lot. It's it was recently enough the
Speaker 1: people remember it, but like it's not like it happened
Speaker 1: last summer or something. I think it's been a few years.
Speaker 1: Do you guys know about that murder house? Yes, I
Speaker 1: was just thinking about that. I think Emily may have
Speaker 1: been on her honeymoon if we talked about this. But
Speaker 1: there are several murder houses in Los Filas, but I
Speaker 1: think the one you're talking about, Molly is um the
Speaker 1: one that is north of Los Sphilas Boulevard. The Manson,
Speaker 1: not the law Bianca House, not the law Bianca house,
Speaker 1: and also not the Frank Lloyd right Black Dahlia house,
Speaker 1: but the other house where I believe it was a
Speaker 1: doctor who had fallen into financial straits and he ended
Speaker 1: up um attacking his family, and then the house I
Speaker 1: think was sold to someone else. And I might be
Speaker 1: wrong in the details because I didn't gray smith my
Speaker 1: way through this topic, but the house was abandoned with
Speaker 1: like all of the stuff in it, including I believe
Speaker 1: a Christmas tree and unopened Christmas presents, and so people
Speaker 1: would come by and poke around and kind of trespass
Speaker 1: and look at it, and then they most of them
Speaker 1: would get so scared that they would like flee. And
Speaker 1: there are a lot of accounts online of people who
Speaker 1: have tried to poke around that house. And then I
Speaker 1: think it was sold, and I think it was sold
Speaker 1: to someone of note, but I'm having trouble remembering who.
Speaker 1: Probably Nicholas, cause all the murder hose. Does he seem
Speaker 1: cursed them? Yes, yes, so there we go, but I
Speaker 1: don't know it's it's a chicken eggs. He's already a vampire. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just want to say that I have gone to
Speaker 1: lots of murder house sites as like a tourist, which
Speaker 1: is probably I could do. Yeah, I would like to
Speaker 1: read a night email if I may. Sure. Okay, So
Speaker 1: this comes from Dan. I'm writing to a thank you
Speaker 1: for your contributions to the neglected deep sea content sector
Speaker 1: and be share the origin story of my fascination with
Speaker 1: our creepy abyssle neighbors. I was twenty four years old
Speaker 1: and living in a small brick walk up in a
Speaker 1: part of a storia near a bunch of auto shops
Speaker 1: and the ravens would power plant. I spent most nights
Speaker 1: watching Netflix, eating Jamaican food from a neighboring takeout place,
Speaker 1: or working late shifts at my job in Midtown. But
Speaker 1: one night I went out and got ripping drunk with
Speaker 1: a friend I knew from high school. I woke the
Speaker 1: next morning with a hangover and my laptop open on
Speaker 1: my bed on the screen with the Wikipedia page for
Speaker 1: goblin sharks, which I had no memory of looking at,
Speaker 1: but apparently had decided to read after getting back to
Speaker 1: my apartment in the early morning. Goblin sharks have a
Speaker 1: mouth inside their mouth, and we're an inspiration for the
Speaker 1: monster and Alien Covenant. I have since developed a deep
Speaker 1: interest in deep sea creatures and now completely understand why
Speaker 1: James Cameron views his movie career as a way to
Speaker 1: fund his Captain Nemo fantasies. We will try to include
Speaker 1: content pointing everyone to the goblin shark with a mouth
Speaker 1: inside a really good sound. I've definitely seen this guy before, though,
Speaker 1: so he looks like a goblin because like his first
Speaker 1: his beak is like a nose sort of. It looks
Speaker 1: it's got like a he has a beak. A beak?
Speaker 1: Why what you call it? It's like the protrusion that
Speaker 1: would normally be the top of the shark's mouth is
Speaker 1: like a like a proboscis. Yeah, okay, a shark. Oh god,
Speaker 1: oh my god. It's so weird looking. I love. Also,
Speaker 1: I love that this guy, whoever he is, when he
Speaker 1: gets ripped and drunk, as he says, he googles goblins.
Speaker 1: I call listeners very that's very charming. What do you
Speaker 1: guys go when you're drunk? Um? I mean sharks probably.
Speaker 1: I think I tried to talk about this a little
Speaker 1: bit last week, but I was reading about the Bobbit worm.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think I sent it to you. It
Speaker 1: is a worm that lives at the bottom of the
Speaker 1: ocean and has an tanna and teeth. Emily, look up
Speaker 1: the bobbit worm, please, Bob, I have my computer day.
Speaker 1: Oh it's a second. If you put in bomb, it's
Speaker 1: the second that makes sense. Oh oh yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 1: It's like that, um, that kind of shrimp, Yeah, rainbow shrimp.
Speaker 1: And it like jumps out of the bottom of a
Speaker 1: tank and like eats things. It jumps out of the water.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, no, it's like in the sand. It's like
Speaker 1: a sand worm. It looks like a sand worm under
Speaker 1: color sand worm. It's beautiful. And then it just like
Speaker 1: kind of like jumps out with its crazy teeth mouth
Speaker 1: and eats fish like much bigger than itself. Um. But
Speaker 1: it's called the bobbit worm because it has all these
Speaker 1: sharp teeth. And then in the Wikipedia it says the
Speaker 1: name bobbit worm was coined in nine in reference to
Speaker 1: la Bobbitt, who was then very much in the public consciousness.
Speaker 1: That's a polite way to put it. The name is
Speaker 1: inspired but only by the scissor like jaws of the worm.
Speaker 1: The common supposition from the name that female uniseids cut
Speaker 1: off the male's penises is baseless. In fact, the worms
Speaker 1: lack penises entirely. I'm glad that our listeners are so
Speaker 1: into our sea creature material already gotten such a strong response.
Speaker 1: It says they are they are broadcast spawners, which means
Speaker 1: they release all their gam meets sperm and eggs into
Speaker 1: open water for external fertilization. There is no subsequent parental care.
Speaker 1: That sounds crazy air orgy. How does that work? I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just like the ocean is so big, like how
Speaker 1: do you odds? It just seems like bad family planning,
Speaker 1: Like you should go to a tidle pool at least
Speaker 1: where there are walls, well about nature, you like, try everything,
Speaker 1: see every possible different method of parenting and see what works.
Speaker 1: And I guess it's a very retro way to parent
Speaker 1: well or future that's true, that could be. It's a
Speaker 1: very it's a very um commune way of parenting. Like
Speaker 1: the idea of just like throwing a bunch of sperm
Speaker 1: and eggs out there and just being like, whatever happens happens,
Speaker 1: it's all you can do. What you could do a
Speaker 1: little frasier riff on that sand woman? What is it?
Speaker 1: Let's visit the duke. Let's visit the Duke. We just
Speaker 1: found out Jonesy always says let's visit the Duke to
Speaker 1: end a segment, and I just found out it's because
Speaker 1: it's Cockney rhyming slang for the Duke of Kent. Visit
Speaker 1: the Duke of Kent means pay the rent. Wow, that's British,
Speaker 1: Super British, Super British show. Today's episode is brought to
Speaker 1: you by Simple Contacts, the most convenient way to renew
Speaker 1: your contact lens prescription and reorder your brand of contacts
Speaker 1: from anywhere in minutes. So earlier this year, I messed
Speaker 1: up my eye and I apologize for that very tm
Speaker 1: I podcast that needed a trigger warning, but I didn't
Speaker 1: give one um. Periodic eye health exams are really important
Speaker 1: and you should never skip them. But as I learned,
Speaker 1: if you've been going to the eye doctor a bunch
Speaker 1: and you think you're on top of stuff, guaranteed your
Speaker 1: prescription for your contacts is going to run out right
Speaker 1: before you need new ones, and you're not going to
Speaker 1: want to go back to the doctors. I wish that
Speaker 1: there were an easier way to get my contacts done
Speaker 1: in minutes, and then I found it, sim Bullet Contacts
Speaker 1: is amazing. Basically, with simple Contacts, you take five minutes.
Speaker 1: You can get a vision test from your phone or computer,
Speaker 1: and you don't have to leave your house. I took
Speaker 1: mine from bed, which I highly recommend, but you can
Speaker 1: do it wherever. Within twenty four hours, a real doctor
Speaker 1: reviews your tests and writes you a new prescription, and
Speaker 1: then boom, a new batch of lenses is on its
Speaker 1: way to you. There are no appointments, no waiting rooms,
Speaker 1: and you don't have to pay for an office visit.
Speaker 1: Of course, you're going to run out of contacts before
Speaker 1: the night call party on September five, because that's how
Speaker 1: life works. So make sure you go to simple contacts
Speaker 1: dot com. You complete a redness check and an eye
Speaker 1: chart test, and then you're all set. If your existing
Speaker 1: prescription hasn't expired yet, you can just take a photo
Speaker 1: of it and send along your doctor's contact info and
Speaker 1: then you order your lenses super fast. They carry every
Speaker 1: brand prescriptions or just twenty bucks, and the prices on
Speaker 1: lenses are great. I think the whole process took me
Speaker 1: less than ten minutes, which is less time than it
Speaker 1: would have taken for me to just schedule an appointment,
Speaker 1: with my doctor. Today's Simple Contacts is offering nightcall listeners

Speaker 1: we have a mystery. Another one in another mystery. Um
Speaker 1: who is Redfinn Nightmares the Instagram account that looks through
Speaker 1: Redfin and finds the most amazingly horrible real estate that
Speaker 1: is all super expensive. Also it's it's a lot of
Speaker 1: shot of walk in closets with like one there was
Speaker 1: a picture of a walking closet with like a Gucci
Speaker 1: box on an ottoman and it was totally empty other
Speaker 1: than this one Gucci box. And then another one that
Speaker 1: looked like an attic with a pitch ceiling and two
Speaker 1: giant stuffed bears at a table. Otherwise completely empty. It's
Speaker 1: a great account, very evocative. I first thought it was
Speaker 1: our friend Brooke Baker, who came on the pod before.
Speaker 1: Then I thought it was tests. Totally not it's never test.
Speaker 1: You could you could compete with this? No, I never could.
Speaker 1: It's so good. I've not seen any of these. I
Speaker 1: I read Finn obsessively. Any look at red Fins. So
Speaker 1: I just thought it was you. And also they were
Speaker 1: talking to me, and sometimes I just assumed people are
Speaker 1: my friends, which is not. What were they saying to you? Nothing?
Speaker 1: They just tag nights nothing, nothing. They tag night call
Speaker 1: in a house that was really insane. And then I
Speaker 1: posted it on our account. It was like, this should
Speaker 1: be the night Call house, because I'm now end up
Speaker 1: posting haunted houses that other people post as potential nightcall
Speaker 1: communes um and this one had like a lot of
Speaker 1: like black light art all over the walls. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: and like an Egyptian ancient Egyptian like bedroom and like
Speaker 1: kind of a jungle room, uh, kind of a Graceland vibe.
Speaker 1: I was into it. It It costs like million dollars. Maybe maybe, Molly,
Speaker 1: you have carbon monoxide poisoning and you've started Redfinn nightmares
Speaker 1: and you don't remember, well, somebody else. Okay, So there's
Speaker 1: another really great account called Valley Haunts that is a
Speaker 1: person who goes around the valley and takes pictures of
Speaker 1: great buildings and weird parking lots, um much like I
Speaker 1: also do in my free time. And so other people
Speaker 1: were like, I thought it was me, and we're like
Speaker 1: your Valley Haunts, right, And I was like, no, I'm
Speaker 1: not somebody else. And then I messaged that person to
Speaker 1: be like, who are you and they said they're just Yeah.
Speaker 1: They said they were like a guy from the valley
Speaker 1: who also likes to drive around and take pictures of
Speaker 1: weird buildings. Do they follow you? Yeah? Yeah. And there's
Speaker 1: like a small there's like a community of including value
Speaker 1: friend Kali Parton. Yeah, there's a community of people who like,
Speaker 1: we all haunt the valley. We all haunt the valley.
Speaker 1: Posted photos of Hodyesty video when it was closing. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, is the Iliad bookstorest um Iliad and The
Speaker 1: Odyssey used to be next to each other. Oh that's
Speaker 1: so cute. The Honesty video just closed. It was sad
Speaker 1: their landlord just up their rent. They actually still had
Speaker 1: like a customer base and people who rent there. I
Speaker 1: met a woman who had been working there for like
Speaker 1: eight years. She was bummed. A million books. Go to
Speaker 1: Alien Books and support it. It's the best. It's a
Speaker 1: good valley haunt bookstore with cats bookstore cats. Um. Can
Speaker 1: I tell you what are some more valley haunts that
Speaker 1: you guys like? Because I was kind of thinking about
Speaker 1: this last night, as I tend to do when it's
Speaker 1: like not a thousand degrees, And I'm like, when I
Speaker 1: missed the valley. That's the mini golf course that shaped
Speaker 1: like a castle and has an arcade. It's like on
Speaker 1: sepulvida um. Teenagers love to go there still. It has
Speaker 1: like a real weird, wholesome kind of like group date vibe.
Speaker 1: Always nice. And I think I saw Justin Bieber went
Speaker 1: there and I was like, the kids still mini golf, Emily,
Speaker 1: what's your favorite place to go to in the valley.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm trying to think of my sentimental faves.
Speaker 1: I mean, like fries, But isn't Friesn't fries like like this,
Speaker 1: isn't there something crazy or dark? Probably that has got
Speaker 1: that you're talking about? The alien themed one like and
Speaker 1: that I remember going there so early and um in
Speaker 1: my time in Los Angeles because I had to get UM,
Speaker 1: I had to get a hard drive for and our
Speaker 1: and our hard drives. The only place to go is
Speaker 1: Fries in the Valley. So me and my boyfriend like
Speaker 1: did the trip out there from like we were down
Speaker 1: by Nearer like uh god, mar Vista, and so we
Speaker 1: were kind of on a on a trek to go
Speaker 1: get this hard drive at the Alien. That's really funny
Speaker 1: because Stare are definitely Fries closer to Marfa. You got
Speaker 1: and I think Manhattan Beach that is maybe themed. There's
Speaker 1: like that's what's so great about them. They all have
Speaker 1: different themes. I had no idea about Alice in Wonderland
Speaker 1: themed one. Like the value one that we're talking about
Speaker 1: that's Alien Invasion themed is amazing and probably it's a
Speaker 1: pretty favorite. Dude, Fries. If you're not a bad company
Speaker 1: and you're listening, you should totally sponsor Nightcall. Sponsor Nightcall.
Speaker 1: We love hard drives. I actually am in the market
Speaker 1: for a hard drive. Ye with a hard drives and Aliens,
Speaker 1: that's pretty much hard. Have you guys ever been to game?
Speaker 1: Dude on Sherman way. That's a good that's a good game, dude.
Speaker 1: That is like if you want to go to a
Speaker 1: place that's like a nineties video store, but for video games,
Speaker 1: it's like being in an alternate high fidelity or something
Speaker 1: where everyone works there is super cranky, but it's great.
Speaker 1: They're cranky because they know so much about video games. Yeah. Oh, also,
Speaker 1: so occasionally I find myself in a market for an
Speaker 1: old door knob. So I live in super old house
Speaker 1: and all our door knobs are falling off all the time.
Speaker 1: And apparently like there's anyone you ask where You're like,
Speaker 1: where do it? Like if you're handyman's like, I don't
Speaker 1: know what to do with these doorknobs. They're always like,
Speaker 1: you've got to go to Ricks. And there's this place
Speaker 1: called Ricks and I think it's on Lankershim and they
Speaker 1: specialize in like super old hardware, and I guess they
Speaker 1: supply a lot of production companies with all their like
Speaker 1: antique hardware. But it is a really strange store and
Speaker 1: it's really good. It's a good weird valley hunt. Oh
Speaker 1: that's great. Um. I went to the Disneyland auction, which
Speaker 1: was in the valley at a giant former sports store,
Speaker 1: sports authority, sports authority. Um, and that was a really
Speaker 1: weird good Valley scene. What's the what was the deal
Speaker 1: with that? Emily? Did you hear about this too? I
Speaker 1: posted some photos from it. There was like a Disneyland
Speaker 1: auction of a collector's personal collection of Disneyland memorabilia. So
Speaker 1: it wasn't a it wasn't a Disney It wasn't sponsored
Speaker 1: by Disney, although I think they were like Disney managed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. It was funny because it was a thing
Speaker 1: for people who are like fans of being fans of something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, it's like a meta meta yeah. And we
Speaker 1: and you waited in a line, um, and then we
Speaker 1: waited in a line with all these other like Disneyland heads, um.
Speaker 1: And then you get in and you just kind of
Speaker 1: walk around. And they put the best thing at the front,
Speaker 1: which is that they had the Sea Serpent from the
Speaker 1: twenty Leagues under the Sea God, which scared the hell
Speaker 1: out of all of us as kids. I think, well,
Speaker 1: now it's even worse. Well no, now it's a Finding
Speaker 1: Nemo ride and it's scary, though it's also scary. That
Speaker 1: ride is inherently scary. This is the submarine boy, I
Speaker 1: tried at Disney End, and I presume this one in
Speaker 1: Disney World, but uh yeah, the Disneyland submarine, right, they
Speaker 1: were built by like the same people who built Soviet
Speaker 1: era submarines for the US, so they feel like Soviet
Speaker 1: era submarines. It's like you're packed in there, real tight,
Speaker 1: and then there's like the weird smelling water dripping in.
Speaker 1: I remember as a kid being like, this is the
Speaker 1: most claustrophobic situation ever, But it's worth it because I'm
Speaker 1: going to see underwater animatronics. Um And it used to
Speaker 1: be Weeks under the Sea themed and it was like
Speaker 1: sort of nature based. Some of the animals were real,
Speaker 1: but then there were also like mermaids and then a
Speaker 1: giant sea serpent at the end that just comes out.
Speaker 1: And I remember, even as a child, scene like and
Speaker 1: I went to Disneyland when I was five and the
Speaker 1: mermaid feeling like I just thought it looked like it
Speaker 1: was molding. That's part of it, too, yeah, is that
Speaker 1: the tronics do not do well underwater obviously, and that's
Speaker 1: super chlorinated. I'm sure water. I mean, now they've kind
Speaker 1: of done away with like a portion of the experience
Speaker 1: is not animatronic. It's almost like a projectile productions now
Speaker 1: for it's a fine much worse. It's got like a
Speaker 1: couple of moments. There's a part with like some underwater
Speaker 1: volcanoes that are there's like a couple of practical effects.
Speaker 1: But they mostly replaced the practical effects with projections. But
Speaker 1: this was like just a warehouse full of like stuff.
Speaker 1: I heard Slash was there. He's a big fan of
Speaker 1: Disneyland and he waited in line for many hours. I
Speaker 1: think Slash, Yeah, you know, everybody from l A loves Disneyland.
Speaker 1: We're very basic. I mean there are some detractors I
Speaker 1: know if I will not take their children to Disneyland
Speaker 1: and they only go to Legoland. Oh, Legoland is actually amazing.
Speaker 1: Also it's better for baby. Different things. They're different things,
Speaker 1: they're different both. I was like, it's very far uh,
Speaker 1: but Disneyland as the best drives. This auction didn't have
Speaker 1: as many animatronics as one may have hoped. You know,
Speaker 1: they don't have any pirates or anything. They mostly had
Speaker 1: didn't take out like the racist Pirates or whatever I mean,
Speaker 1: or whatever whatever they were, the Rapi Pirates, the Rapi
Speaker 1: pirates are finally being uh they just did it finally.
Speaker 1: I think they changed the scene the famous Pirates of
Speaker 1: the Caribbean ride scene, that is the the horror auction.
Speaker 1: Where else are the kids going to learn about this stuff? Right?
Speaker 1: It was my favorite because they have the red heat
Speaker 1: and everybody's going, we want the red head, and there's
Speaker 1: like all the like other chicks for sale, and then
Speaker 1: there's like the one hot chick who's the redhead and everything.
Speaker 1: Now you guys are Emily crossed over into red hat redhead.
Speaker 1: Now Emily welcome. Hi. Well, when it was first died,
Speaker 1: it was very it was a little run, a little run.
Speaker 1: It was actually more like um archese hair in Riverdale,
Speaker 1: like that kind of unnatural head. Um. But it's sort
Speaker 1: of teams itself. Since it looks great, were like Leulu
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, yeah, Actually honestly, the blonde York
Speaker 1: is my actually so m well, they change the redhead. Um,
Speaker 1: the redhead who is on the auction block is now
Speaker 1: a pirate apparently, Um if any one wants to buy
Speaker 1: a pirate consumer as feminism in action, they were like, no,
Speaker 1: she's a lady pirate and she's one of the pirates instead,
Speaker 1: and now we can sell merchandise. That's like we've got
Speaker 1: a new pirate who's a lady. Right, We'll always remember, um,
Speaker 1: the original Pirates of the Caribbean Red Oh, and they
Speaker 1: had a coyote for sale that was four to five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars and animatronic coyote from thunder Mountain. No, it
Speaker 1: was from the lake Loop around the river. It was
Speaker 1: from the former twa yeah, the Mark Twain. So if
Speaker 1: anybody wants to nightcall five thousand dollars for an animatronic coyote,
Speaker 1: please do. As soon as you said that, I was like,
Speaker 1: damn it, Molly, the first things first, we need to
Speaker 1: get our our Redfitt nightmare. First. At the night Call
Speaker 1: Haunted Mansion. Well, I also posted it was at Starbucks
Speaker 1: and there was this ad for a open house for
Speaker 1: a house that was so haunted looking. I put no,
Speaker 1: I posted it on the night Call Instagram. Uh spoiler,
Speaker 1: I'm the night calls him. Um. But it's like this
Speaker 1: terrifying looking shambling like colonial mansion wave set way back
Speaker 1: and it's like built by the person who built like
Speaker 1: Griffith Observatory or something's seper historic. But it just looks
Speaker 1: so haunted and it's only a million. It's what I'm
Speaker 1: sure it's Yeah, it does literally look like everything. Somebody
Speaker 1: was like, it literally looks just like the Disneyland Haunted mansion.
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, you're right, That's why I was
Speaker 1: drawn to it immediately. Oh my god, can we please
Speaker 1: live there? Um, it's only one million, I knew it.
Speaker 1: It's totally affordable. Four million. Um. I was just reading
Speaker 1: about a house that was for sale because it was
Speaker 1: the house of this woman who put out a cookbook
Speaker 1: about foraging where all the recipes were poisonous. Wait, what
Speaker 1: feels very nicall, please tell us more. I believe she
Speaker 1: lived in the Minneapolis St. Paul area. She put out
Speaker 1: a book she had Instagram lifestyle thing about foraging that
Speaker 1: was like, I live in the woods and like, I
Speaker 1: forage all the food and then I make weird like
Speaker 1: natur e food that's things like charcoal biscuits or stuff
Speaker 1: charcoal cinnamon rolls. I believe it's cool recipes. Um. And
Speaker 1: then apparently nobody like checked out her book or something,
Speaker 1: and it got published and it had a bunch of
Speaker 1: recipes in it that had poisonous things in the like
Speaker 1: mushrooms or herbs or just a variety. It was like
Speaker 1: a variety of things. Uh. Some of the things were
Speaker 1: like things you shouldn't eat raw, you know. Um. I
Speaker 1: learned sort of not that long ago because I was like,
Speaker 1: why don't people chop up like the pits of fruit
Speaker 1: and the reason it's because they're poisonous. Really, yeah, like
Speaker 1: peach pits. If you ate a peach pit, it's like
Speaker 1: arsenic because there's there's cyanide and apple seeds. Right, there's
Speaker 1: cyanide and a lot of fruit pits. I was. I
Speaker 1: used to have like a I wouldn't say party trick,
Speaker 1: but a thing that I thought was cool that I did,
Speaker 1: which was just to eat an entire apple, including the
Speaker 1: stem and core because I got so sick of eating
Speaker 1: apples when I was a kid in the vack seat
Speaker 1: of my parents car and then having to hold the
Speaker 1: apple core and then I was like, I can't throw
Speaker 1: it out the window. My mom I was always like
Speaker 1: take this, She's like no, obviously not. So I was like,
Speaker 1: I'll just eat the whole thing, and then nobody told
Speaker 1: me not to, and like eventually I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: they have cyanide. Didn't make you sick. I mean horses,
Speaker 1: eat the whole thing. Hey, night call listeners. If you're

Speaker 1: been to a restaurant? Hold on, So I saw a
Speaker 1: movie this weekend that I had somehow eluded me at
Speaker 1: a couple of festivals I've been at that it was at.
Speaker 1: And then I didn't I miss the screening that it
Speaker 1: was at, and I was I was destined to watch
Speaker 1: it at the Alamo Drafthouse with a glass of wine
Speaker 1: and a salad, because that's how I roll at the
Speaker 1: at the Alamo Drafthouse. Um, but absolutely, you want to
Speaker 1: know what worst movie food to eat, like the most
Speaker 1: awkward movie salad, what kind of salad? Just so let's
Speaker 1: set the scene it's a it's an Asian salmon salad,
Speaker 1: Salmon sal expensive, the most expensive salad on the menu.
Speaker 1: Not to break. The album was very convenient where I live,
Speaker 1: so I end up going there a lot. But Um,
Speaker 1: I saw Support the Girls, which is a new movie
Speaker 1: by or Swile Mumblecore Ohtour slash founder uh Andrew Boelski,
Speaker 1: and it stars Regina hall and Hayley Lou Richardson and
Speaker 1: a bunch of like cool actresses also that I had
Speaker 1: not seen before. And it is about the staff of
Speaker 1: a restaurant, not a Hooters, independent neighborhood restaurant on like
Speaker 1: a frontage road somewhere in Texas called Double Whammy's Um
Speaker 1: And it's kind of just like a day in the
Speaker 1: life of this restaurant and kind of following the manager
Speaker 1: played by Regina hall Um. And it's really good. It
Speaker 1: was I've been hearing really good things about it and
Speaker 1: I kept meaning to see it, and I was glad.
Speaker 1: I was kind of glad I actually got to give
Speaker 1: my money to it because man went about a chess
Speaker 1: competition that was like computer chess. Yeah, and the last
Speaker 1: movie he did I didn't see. But now I want
Speaker 1: to go back and watch it um about personal trainers
Speaker 1: called Results. Um. It's like the best kind of aspects
Speaker 1: of the mumblecore ethos, which is just sort of like
Speaker 1: there's a there's a sense, especially like near the end
Speaker 1: of the film that you genuinely don't know what's going
Speaker 1: to happen, because it feels like you're literally just like
Speaker 1: sitting in this restaurant as everything goes haywire. Um, and
Speaker 1: none of it feels like composed in a very movie
Speaker 1: ish way. Um. But yeah, I feel like I kind
Speaker 1: of wonder if this was viral viral marketing for the
Speaker 1: film that UM Complex had this post that kind of
Speaker 1: went viral about how um, Hooters is closing locations and
Speaker 1: restrategizing because millennial don't like breasts anymore. Uh, they don't
Speaker 1: like big breasts anymore. Sure, Yeah, it's true, like butts
Speaker 1: have surpassed they just like it was a porn Hub pole,
Speaker 1: which porn hub is becoming one of the more useful
Speaker 1: institutes for cultural study. Uh yeah, seriously, Yes, the post was.
Speaker 1: The post was based off of the porn hub study
Speaker 1: and not recent New Years about anything happening with Hooters.
Speaker 1: Although it is true that in the last few years,
Speaker 1: they have been closing a lot of locations. They're kind
Speaker 1: of like trying to like restaurants, like chain restaurants are clothed. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's a widespread problem that I for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: is hitting Hooters particularly. I mean for a very obvious reason.
Speaker 1: I think mostly that it's embarrassing to go to a Hooters. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but there's one. Are the other ones there's Yeah, have
Speaker 1: you guys ever been to a Hooters or Yeah? I
Speaker 1: went to the one and I was I was telling
Speaker 1: my husband about this because I don't think he had
Speaker 1: ever gone to one. It's funny how like I know
Speaker 1: more girls who have gone to them than guys. I
Speaker 1: feel like it's just like, what's like, what's going on there?
Speaker 1: It seems safer than a shady strip club or something
Speaker 1: like that. It's like it's just like a chain restaurant
Speaker 1: with like girls who wear short shorts, a waitresses are
Speaker 1: forced to dress sexy. Yes, yeah, that's just their brand.
Speaker 1: It's like we forced the waitresses to be sexy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I mean all the other restaurants, Like when I
Speaker 1: remember going out for restaurant jobs for a while when
Speaker 1: I was in college and afterwards and and half of
Speaker 1: the restaurants in l A. And I'm sure it's the
Speaker 1: same in New York too. You have to submit a
Speaker 1: headshot with it, Like it's not it's not like it's
Speaker 1: an industry for of hot people to work at Friday's.
Speaker 1: You guys test worked at Friday's. Tests had problems. We
Speaker 1: talked about this, but like that is like I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: that's a very unsexy, like if you are looking to
Speaker 1: the stripe, like I want to say, it was just
Speaker 1: like a solid color polo. But then we had Hawaiian
Speaker 1: a Hawaiian period where we had to wear Hawaiian shirts
Speaker 1: and I couldn't spend money on a Hawaiian shirt, so
Speaker 1: I borrowed a frat boyfriend's Hawaiian shirt and wore that
Speaker 1: one shirt every day. Literally, Jennifer Anderson an office space
Speaker 1: I try. But yeah, I remember going to the Hooters
Speaker 1: and just being like, it feels like it's a Porky's
Speaker 1: themed restaurant, Like that's the level of sexiness here. It
Speaker 1: feels like you're at summer camp. It feels like you're
Speaker 1: like a brightly lit summer camp, and it's like a
Speaker 1: very perky, upbeat atmosphere because it's like a family restaurant. Sex. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like families go there. Well, they actually did
Speaker 1: do a spinoff, I guess in an attempt to diversify,
Speaker 1: Hooters did and they have an actually explicitly family oriented
Speaker 1: restaurant where I think the girls maybe just don't have
Speaker 1: their midrift spirit or and then the uniform was somewhat different,
Speaker 1: but it's just called it's called which is incredible. Did
Speaker 1: you guys see the threat on Twitter? Oh? No, Molly,
Speaker 1: you didn't, but there was a thread who there was
Speaker 1: a thread on Twitter where there was this guy who
Speaker 1: swooped in after the news that Hooters was closing a
Speaker 1: bunch of stores, and he was like, I can save Hooters,
Speaker 1: he suggested. He said the girls should go for a
Speaker 1: more natural look, not so Barbie, and then he said
Speaker 1: they should host debate nights where you'd bebate b waitress.
Speaker 1: And then he was like, I'm looking for a modern
Speaker 1: day Gaish yes, literally with no iron at all. And
Speaker 1: then he sul, you can have problem solving hostesses who
Speaker 1: like you bring. I mean this if they were your therapist,
Speaker 1: and you can kind of get therapy at Hooters. I
Speaker 1: mean these all sound like hostess clubs. But yeah, but
Speaker 1: that exists. Yeah, that exist. It's just like you want,
Speaker 1: but you want it under the auspices of going to
Speaker 1: like a mainstream restaurant. Well, also, he kept saying it
Speaker 1: has to be super cheap, which you like, I don't
Speaker 1: want to pay anything, but I want a girl to
Speaker 1: take care of me and solve all my prom and
Speaker 1: have an intellectual discussion with me. Barf on that guy's head, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think the issue is um breasts being unpopular.
Speaker 1: I really think it's that Hooters is like so eighties.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like but but right now the eighties
Speaker 1: are back. No, but like you know what, You're right. Actually,
Speaker 1: if people are, you think they'd be flocking to a right.
Speaker 1: The uniform is like bike shorts. Now that you mentioned it,
Speaker 1: I think they should play up the retro aspect more though.
Speaker 1: I think that they should make it explicitly like a
Speaker 1: late seventies themed restaurant. So you want them on roller skates? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Want that? I mean that guy should have just done
Speaker 1: his whole Twitter. I think you should have been like,
Speaker 1: well they're not on roller skates. That would save it,
Speaker 1: and he'd be right. What about waitresses riding Bird scooters. Guys,
Speaker 1: the Bird scooters know the scoot the Bird and the
Speaker 1: Lime scooters. I have no idea? What here? What can
Speaker 1: we please talk about this? Okay? Can I just say so? Uh?
Speaker 1: There are these two scooter brands, Bird and Lime, and
Speaker 1: they're everywhere in Los Angeles, Emily, it's nuts. It's Limes.
Speaker 1: Sounds like what I would like at that brand name.
Speaker 1: They started in San Francisco, and then they took over
Speaker 1: a Lime. They came here. They don't even have an
Speaker 1: amber sand or a plus sign. It's a n D.
Speaker 1: Do they know what they're doing? You know, they don't.
Speaker 1: The Birds and the Limes are competing brands, and people
Speaker 1: either love them or hate them. But the people who
Speaker 1: hate them will do things like cut their brakes. And
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, and so Katie and Annopolis said,
Speaker 1: BuzzFeed just went through a whole thing about how people
Speaker 1: are getting injured on these scooters, but they're not like
Speaker 1: quantifying it, and people who are like, you know, but
Speaker 1: cars are super dangerous. Guys like but the scooter and
Speaker 1: it's like, but the scooters aren't regulated and nobody's wearing helmets. No,
Speaker 1: it's very funny. Okay, So, like I have have this
Speaker 1: argument on a hundred times now, including with people who
Speaker 1: play Devil's Advocate, where they're like, don't don't put the
Speaker 1: old person, Who's like, that's the kids, the damned kids
Speaker 1: and their scooters. What my issue with it is that
Speaker 1: they regulate what's allowed to be on the street so
Speaker 1: intensely and don't let homeless people live on the street
Speaker 1: even though they already do. You know, um that the
Speaker 1: fact that they just let the scooters be everywhere is shitty.
Speaker 1: Are they on this sidewalk? Put them out? What are
Speaker 1: they doing? It's that tech thing of like break the
Speaker 1: law and then regulate it later, you know, move fast,
Speaker 1: break things. That's mean. The sad thing is that they
Speaker 1: can't do a bike share like they having literally every
Speaker 1: other city in America because they don't have enough sharrows
Speaker 1: and bike lanes in Los Angeles and stuff, just like
Speaker 1: down and Santa Monica, maybe in Koreatown. Uh, these are
Speaker 1: everywhere my like, and especially they're like right outside where
Speaker 1: we record this podcast in Los Angeles now, which is
Speaker 1: really funny because like we've seen them like up here
Speaker 1: and then like you see like morph sort of on
Speaker 1: the fly. I've seen now like a lot of like
Speaker 1: couples riding them together, which is really cute, and a
Speaker 1: lot of people doing tricks on them, which is great
Speaker 1: because it both fucks them up and show off and
Speaker 1: you show them. I saw somebody last week on Melrose.
Speaker 1: But it's also like it's funny because it's like it's
Speaker 1: making Melrose specifically sort of like more and more crazy,
Speaker 1: which is funny. I saw a kid last week. I
Speaker 1: saw like this dude with like a Fannie Pack shoulder
Speaker 1: Fannie pack, totally like driving away from somebody on one
Speaker 1: and he went like, I'm gonna get you, you pussy.
Speaker 1: He was like, it's not cool to just tase people.
Speaker 1: What You also just see people who don't have a
Speaker 1: clue as to how to ride these scooters and they
Speaker 1: just hop on and then you see the learning curve
Speaker 1: in real time and they go really fast, so they
Speaker 1: are like super dangerous and they kind of have made
Speaker 1: navigating the dangerous. It's such a clueless It's like these
Speaker 1: people are not from l A. And the argument people
Speaker 1: make is like their transportation for like you know, like
Speaker 1: people will use them as as transportation. Well, because people
Speaker 1: don't really need a car to drive two miles, you know,
Speaker 1: so this is like a good alternative to that. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're just if they were regulated, that would be fine.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you if there was things I'm like
Speaker 1: or just like, don't hurt you know, the streets belonged everyone,
Speaker 1: you know, make them right on the road. They're supposed
Speaker 1: to ride on the road. I don't think it's since
Speaker 1: they've been out for like about a month, you know,
Speaker 1: people complained it's become a big thing. And so they've
Speaker 1: added some labels to a lot of them that say
Speaker 1: like you need a helmet or you're supposed to get
Speaker 1: some permit it or something, and that you can only
Speaker 1: ride them in the street. And they started ticketing people
Speaker 1: who ride them on the sidewalks in certain places. So
Speaker 1: I saw people riding them the other day in Santa
Speaker 1: Monica on the street and it was also hilarious because
Speaker 1: I was like, luxury cars are going to hit people
Speaker 1: on that's a good business. I made some money off
Speaker 1: of that. And then I saw a lot of them,
Speaker 1: like on in Venice on the boardwalk, and I was
Speaker 1: kind of not that I came back around, but I
Speaker 1: was like, nice, is the makes sense? They're like any
Speaker 1: place that's wide open enough, it has the tiny little streets, right,
Speaker 1: this is this is infuriated. Wait until you're in town,
Speaker 1: so you're going to freak out. But they're in certain
Speaker 1: Did we talk about what the guy said that we
Speaker 1: met on mel Road? Please you should tell the story. Okay,
Speaker 1: Well we there's a lot of scooters on Melrose, and
Speaker 1: like three weeks ago, Molly and I were lamenting the
Speaker 1: scooters as we passed by a store and we saw
Speaker 1: the store owner come out, like, pick up a scooter
Speaker 1: that it just been discarded in front of his door,
Speaker 1: throw it into the street. And then he heard us
Speaker 1: talking about scooters and he looked at us and I
Speaker 1: was like, no, no, no, we're on your team. We're
Speaker 1: on your team. We don't like scooters. And he was like,
Speaker 1: I'm from New York. That's how we do it in
Speaker 1: New York. You leave trash outside my place. I shipped
Speaker 1: on your head and we were like, right, that's right.
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm from New York. I saw that.
Speaker 1: Now I'm glad that I have the content. Now you
Speaker 1: know people are destroying them in all kinds of funny ways.
Speaker 1: That makes me happy. Let's go and destroy some while
Speaker 1: I'm just sure. I mean, people learned how to cut
Speaker 1: the brakes, which is funny because that's also bad though,
Speaker 1: because it just turns them into a regular scooter, Like
Speaker 1: somebody would be pumping those brakes freaking out. And like
Speaker 1: I've seen like kids on these things, which by the way,
Speaker 1: very illegal. Don't do it, kid, And it's like that's
