Shawn (00:45):

All right. And as that little boy says, it is time for English All Over the Place. Your favorite - I hope - uh, podcast for English learning and, uh, just around about fun with, uh, two guys in Japan. As always. I am your host, Shawn De Haven with the venerable.

Barney (01:08):

Yes, you guys can keep calling me. Barney. Just don't call me late for dinner.

Shawn (01:15):

Oh, geeze! Okay. Uh, I'm going to stop the podcast and start over now. I'm late for dinner? Geez. How old are you? You're younger than me. Aren't you?

Barney (01:27):

Okay. Um, yes.

Shawn (01:31):

Yes. Um, so I hope you guys can't hear it, but I'm in the middle of a rainstorm right now. Um, uh, you know, whether it's been a little bit unstable here in Tokyo lately. Uh, how's the weather in 92 right now? Uh, Barney.

Barney (01:47):

Yeah, we actually never read has been fine. Um, but I was at work today and yet you and, um, like 70% of the sky was very rainy and stormy, but for some reason 30% was still setting, but, um, it speaks to the instability all around us, but every time it's this safe Haven, I guess, for the time being. And

Shawn (02:11):

Have you ever had that situation where it's raining and it's sunny at the same time? It's pretty rare.

Barney (02:15):

Yeah, actually, yeah, even two or three days ago we had it and um, I took the kids around, we looked and we saw the rainbow and then, uh, Silas kept pointing to the same general area after the rainbow had gone and asked me, "Rainbow? Rainbow?"

Shawn (02:32):

And then you said, you said you made it go away. It's your fault.

Barney (02:38):

Why do you hate rainbows, Silas? Thankfully, he, he doesn't understand that part. Oh,

Shawn (02:43):

Good, good, good. He doesn't understand the, the emotional abuse that you're trying to put him through. Um, so Barney. Um, what have what's been going on with you lately?

Barney (02:55):

Yeah, thankfully, yeah. Um, life as usual. Um, for, for those of you, uh, premium subscribers who can see the video. Yeah. My closet, (There are no premium subscribers, thankfully) everything is open and, uh, everything is out, uh, this weekend. Uh, I echo, my wife keeps saying, let's pretend that we're moving. Let's pretend that we're moving because we have to get this place cleaned up.

Shawn (03:21):

Oh. And then she moves and then you're like, wait a minute. And she's like, yeah, well I'm, I'm a method actor. So yeah. She's really into that.

Barney (03:34):

Yeah. Yeah. So, so yeah, so really life is usual as things are steady and, and, um, you know, only when things are steady, can you pretend that you're moving to motivate yourself to clean up the house?

Shawn (03:47):

Yeah. You know, there is something about that, you know, pretending that you're moving and clean up and, uh, you know, you never really clean it up until you're really moving, you know, until you have to see if you can get that deposit back. Yeah. You know, clean those areas you never bothered to clean. Um, so, uh, and at the recording of this, uh, the time of the recording of this it's, it's, uh, it's uh, late July and, uh, um, we are in the middle of the Olympics. Have you been watching the Olympics?

Barney (04:20):

Yeah. Um, I do. Thankfully I'm not teaching any classes at the moment. So, um, while I pretend to work, I have the Olympics going and, uh, always checking that phone. It is nice

Shawn (04:35):

Being in the same time zone as the Olympics, even though we're not allowed to go to the Olympics. I know, uh, the listeners probably don't know this. And if you did, I'd, I'd wonder how you knew. Um, but both Barney and I, through a, um, determination through the ticket lottery and things like that. I, I got it three times. I took three times to get my tickets yet. You got it in the first time?

Barney (04:59):

Yeah. Because, um, well I thought, I thought, what is jokingly? I thought, what is the least popular sport for Japanese people must be field hockey. And I got the gold medal ticket.

Shawn (05:13):

So, uh, are you a big India fan or Pakistan? Which one do you think is going to take it?

Barney (05:21):

Yeah. Wait, I saw India tripped up the other day, but there they are recovered since then.

Shawn (05:26):

They'll they'll, you know, I've got my money on them. Yeah. So you had tickets to the gold medal game of field hockey. I know it sounds like a joke, but it's true. Um, and I scored tickets to the semi-finals of the women's soccer. Yeah. And, um, as of today, it was, that's either the game between the U S and Canada. Uh, that would have been fantastic to see in person or, um, I believe the other teams that went through our Australia and, um, (Sweden.) Sweden, oh boy, Sweden super-strong too. They might win the whole thing. Um, but either way it would have been a fantastic game, but as you know, if you're following the news, um, uh, because of this, uh, pandemic, uh, um, no fans allowed in the stands, um, except for maybe elementary school kids in Ibaraki, but, uh, yeah, I don't know. So after all that trouble of trying to get a ticket to bring my son to the Olympics, like my father brought me to the Olympics in 84 in LA, like so many people that dream disparate and they really yanked us around too. Didn't they?

Barney (06:41):

Yeah. Oh boy. Um, yeah, they, they just, well, I mean, just like it was a year ago, they couldn't commit to anything. We're going to have them. We're going to have them, we're going to have them.

Shawn (06:52):

But even, even like, even like at the very end, they're like, okay, we're gonna have a lottery for the 10,000 people that are allowed to see the game. Oh, wait. Now it's gonna be 5,000. So we'll delay it. Oh, wait. Now we're going to delay more. Oh, sorry. Nobody goes.

Barney (07:05):

Yeah, I know. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Shawn (07:08):

But, uh, anyway, um, yeah, well at least we can watch it on the air and on TV and the websites allow us to watch the games that don't have team Japan in it,

Barney (07:20):

Honestly. Yes. Yes.

Shawn (07:23):

Well, you know, I don't expect Japanese people do watching the Netherlands versus the US in, in female, uh, women's soccer on prime time anyway.

Barney (07:31):

Yeah.

Shawn (07:34):

So what I thought we'd talked about today is, you know, we're in the middle of the summer. And, uh, I thought we'd talk about our memories of summer vacation in the past. Uh, what did we do? Um, I bet your summer vacations were a lot different than my summer vacation.

Barney (07:52):

I wonder. Yeah, I bet. So

Shawn (07:56):

How many people are in your family? How many siblings did you have?

Barney (07:59):

Yeah. Um, thankfully, thankfully still three, always three (Always three? That you know of.) I know, six of us in the family. And, um, and also we, um, you know, growing up in Ohio, rural area, um, yeah, boy, my average summer day was, um, you know, sleeping in a bit and, you know, eating, you know, having fun playing outside and helping my dad, you know, with the garden and whatnot. Um, and, um, yeah. And in Ohio with the sun, doesn't go down until nine 30. Yeah. June, July. So you eat and you go back outside and you play a lot more.

Shawn (08:46):

Huh. That's a little strange. I wouldn't have thought that, uh, they do have daylight saving time right there. Yeah. (Yeah. That's why.) Okay. Well maybe they have too much daylight saving. Yeah. Um, yeah. Huh. But did you go on family trips?

Barney (09:01):

Oh yeah. Yeah. Um, so we, uh, my, my dad was, um, uh, since he, he was, uh, what, uh, a horticulturalist, an agronomist.

Shawn (09:15):

Agronomist? That's a word you hear every day.

Barney (09:17):

Yeah. I know You won't hear it again. Um, especially with soybeans and, and they always, um, are needing to be harvested in the fall, so he could never, ever take time off then, um, you know, and like break us out of school for a vacation so

Shawn (09:36):

Well who did that? I never got to go out. I never got to get out of school to go on vacation. Well, but my parents were teachers. That's impossible. Yeah.

Barney (09:43):

Yeah. That's true. So, yeah, but, uh, um, we also, we, you know, we, we, with six people, we, uh, we're, we're always basically driving somewhere and usually camping. Um, and, and I think that for the most part, we would do the Great Lakes area, um, even even to Superior, you know, the west from us. Um, and we would do the New England states a bunch.

Shawn (10:13):

You've been to a lot of places in the United States that I've never even been close to.

Barney (10:17):

Oh yeah. Yeah. We even went to Calvin Coolidge's home in Vermont or was it Maine?

Shawn (10:25):

You're making me jealous, man. You know, you know, I'm a big Coolidge head

Barney (10:31):

And we thought, wow, what a really great guy. Wow. He must've been-- his home is beautiful. He must have been such a great president, but no, he was really a terrible president.

Shawn (10:41):

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not as terrible as some, but, you know.

Barney (10:45):

Yeah. Um, and, and, uh, boy, Lake Superior is so cold and that area is cold. And we even one time, just by the, the way things worked out with the atmosphere, we could see the Northern lights a few times. (What?!) Yeah. I know when we're camping in, uh, June or July or whenever it was, so it was one of those fluke things

Shawn (11:10):

You didn't like have peyote or something like that. Did you have a vision, your spirit animal or something?

Barney (11:19):

Misremembering maybe...

Shawn (11:22):

Trapped in the forest for three days, you know? (Yeah.) What's that Sasquatch doing there? Did you have, I mean, do you use your camping the whole time basically?

Barney (11:39):

Oh yeah. Um, yeah, it really, um, uh, my parents are, are diehard members of, uh, AAA and my dad would always get the camp book and, uh, you know, kind of plan and it was always some state forests, which, um, are more rustic, um, than state parks.

Shawn (12:02):

Oh, you don't want, you don't want those, you know, snobby state parks.

Barney (12:08):

Yeah right. Who wants to camp anywhere near someone in an RV, you know, we have our tent, but, but yeah, but that made for great memories too. Um, you know, uh, um, using the Coleman stove, you know, the propane tiny stove to cook food and having, uh, you know, simple breakfasts and, um, you know, (Acorns, right?) Whatever, if you can't catch it, you can't eat it. (Pinecone again?) And, you know, playing card games at night and waking up with the sunrise.

Shawn (12:48):

I just can't imagine it. I mean, the, I mean, I did not go camping aside from a few trips with the Boy Scouts when I was young and our family trips... Um, mainly, my parents, both my parents taught. Yeah. And then they also taught summer school. So usually I would go to the same summer school. And one, a couple of years, I even had my dad as a teacher. It was a little weird, you know, I didn't know to call him Mr. De Haven or dad in class, it's awkward. He taught oceanography. It was cool because we got to go on a field trip out on a boat on the bay and stuff like that. So that was fun. Um, and I, otherwise I would have been just at home watching Gilligan's island, I don't know, all day or whatever, Mr. Ed. Um, uh, but when we did go traveling, um, usually it was also by car, uh, you know, a big American car and we would go to Texas, um, where we had relatives, my dad's sister and her family, uh, in the Dallas area. And we would drive. And have you ever driven through Arizona or New Mexico? (No.) There's well, maybe you can experience this in a different place, but there's not much there and you could go hours without seeing anything. And you know, it's interesting, but you know, looking for that one radio station, you know, and this was, this was back, you know, you damn kids, you, you have it so easy now with your iPad and everything like that. (Yeah.) My best friend later in the years of doing this was my discman.

Barney (14:41):

Oh yeah.

Shawn (14:42):

Yes, with all my CDs. When we were younger, um, we had, um, the kind of highway bingo. (Okay.) Did you have those? (Yeah.) They had like a little, like a bingo cardboard thing with the little windows that you would put down if you saw something. (Yeah.) You know, and this was the game we played to keep us busy. (Yeah.) Um, uh, my mom was cool. Uh, she would have like, uh, like a few cheap toys and she would give us like once a day if we were good. (Oh, okay.) So that was, I think that was kind of smart of her. (Yeah.) Cause it's a long trip. It takes about two days to get where we're going, two, three days, maybe.

Barney (15:30):

I, I wanted to ask how long it took.

Shawn (15:32):

I loved Denny's breakfasts.

Barney (15:36):

Ah, yeah.

Shawn (15:37):

As, as Ron Swanson on Parks and Recreation says, breakfast is the best meal in the world, you know?

Barney (15:45):

Yes, it is.

Shawn (15:45):

Oh my god. Everything about it is great. (Yeah) Healthy too. Um, but what did we, what did we do here? Oh yeah. We used to, I used to love to stop at a place called Stuckey's. (Oh yeah. Yeah.) And it's like in the middle of nowhere, they'd have this little touristy shop and I think they sold, I don't know some like fruit bar or something or, or nut log or some, something like that. (Very appealing.)You know, but you know, when you've spent my three or four hours of looking, four, five hours of looking at nothing, it's like, oh, there's a, Stuckey's in 60 miles. (Yeah.) Oh, there's a, Stuckey's in 40 miles. Oh, there's a Stuckey's in 20 miles. The anticipation is killing me. We got to stop at Stuckey's.

Barney (16:38):

I think that probably, I was just thinking about that the other day, too. How, um, you know, remember it was always those billboards for this and this restaurant is at exactly, you know, 20 miles, 50 miles away on exit, you know, this and that. And, and that's how you chose where you were gonna eat cause you're still in the car for a long time and everyone is, you know, in our case, you know, "I want to go to Burger King", you know, "No way, McDonald's." "No, we're going to friendlies.", You know, or whatever.

Shawn (17:10):

Uh, yeah. I mean, nowadays it's a lot easier. I think they have those, like these all the fast food places like a hub, you know, they're all in the same parking lot basically. Yeah. But you know, in the desert, uh, you know, and oh boy, one year, um, my father and I were going to Texas, um, my mom flew ahead and we were driving cause were faster and I think the air conditioner broke or something. (Oh, wow.) So you had to like, um, have the windows open and just, you know, open the vents. And it's really nice to listen to music when you're on the highway and the windows are open. You really hear a lot.

Barney (17:51):

Oh wow.

Shawn (17:54):

And we used to play a game called, I guess, I don't know what it's called the ABC. And basically you look around for different letters of the alphabet. You know A, B, there's a C D E. And the person who gets the Z at the end wins. Yeah. Yeah. Now in a city that's easy. Oh yeah. But in the middle of Arizona or New Mexico or Texas. (Yeah.) You're like, "God dammit. Why can't I find a Q,?" , you know? Or you know, or some obscure letter, you know? And then you're like looking for a certain car make, I'm like, oh, I, I, that one, I think that's going to be the one. Yes.

Barney (18:39):

Yeah, it's a Mazda. There's my Z. Yeah. I wonder if maybe, um, the game that, we also played that game, that I wonder if maybe one game that we played is very unique either to my family or to the area we played the, um, the animal game. So, you know, if you're on the left side of the car and you see animals, you count all the animals, you can count and try to get up to a hundred, you know, or in your, you're playing against the team on the right side of the car. And of course, if you pass the cemetery, then you have to bury all of your animals and go back to zero.

Shawn (19:12):

Oh, that's, that's grim. That's dark. (Yeah.) It's so it's, it's a pet cemetery?

Barney (19:20):

Any cemetery at all. Right. It becomes, you know, sorry. You're back down to zero.

Shawn (19:24):

Your father was Stephen King, right? (Yeah.) My gosh. No, I have not heard of that game. How many cemeteries did you pass though? I didn't see that. I see any cemeteries.

Barney (19:37):

But I think that's it, especially in, um, New England and yeah, it's, it's an older, but more rural, you know, you can go through rural stretches and they've got the cemeteries there and you just, you just get clobbered.

Shawn (19:50):

I would never see any cemeteries in the desert. Maybe a couple of abandoned houses or something, you know, reclaimed by the sand or something. But, uh, yeah. Yeah. And sometimes, um, my mom and dad would take time, turns driving. And when you're driving on a long stretch of freeway or highway like that, you kind of lose track of how fast you're going.

Barney (20:16):

Oh yeah. Yeah.

Shawn (20:18):

So one time my mom got pulled over, I think in Texas, maybe cause she was going like 80 or 90, but didn't realize it. You know and...

Barney (20:28):

It was 55?

Shawn (20:30):

And you can't, maybe be higher, but you can't contest that ticket later because it's in the middle of nowhere. You're not gonna--

Barney (20:37):

How are you going to get there?

Shawn (20:38):

You're not going to come back in two months. And, and um, in America guys, um, sometimes you can contest a speeding ticket or something like that, when you go to the court, when there's a court date. If you don't want to contest it, you just pay it, you know, but sometimes if you fight it, uh, maybe the policemen doesn't show up to the court date and then you automatically win, but nobody's coming back to that. (No. Yeah.) What was your worst experience in summer vacations like that? Do you have any bad experiences? (Um.) Any accidents or something?

Barney (21:18):

No, but, um, (Mr. Positivity.) Yeah, I think that I never really looked forward to, um, visiting my dad's side of the family. (Oh) Yeah. (Why's that?) Well, he had cousins in Virginia that we visited them a few times and they were so cool.

Shawn (21:40):

Well, Virginia is for lovers.

Barney (21:41):

Yeah, I know and that's just, it, they were so kind, but his family in Indiana were so stern (Stern?) and just, uh, yeah. And I mean like, and they're the kind of people that like, if you visit for Christmas, like they, they, they give you, your, your present is something that like, they received free when they were at some conference or something. They're like, I like here, I know that you really liked drawing. Here's a pen and notepad and...

Shawn (22:13):

Here's a squeezy ball that's says Microsoft 98.

Barney (22:17):

I know, yeah. And so,

Shawn (22:19):

Wow. So they're not stern,, they're cheap. That's cheap, by the way.

Barney (22:23):

It's both. It's both. Yeah. They're cheap because they're stern. And even though they're stern and even though...

Shawn (22:28):

Maybe their stern because they're cheap.

Barney (22:28):

...even though my, my, uh, for, for the first few years, um, you know, my grandparents were still living on a farm. That was just nothing to do. (Oh my gosh.) It was agony.

Shawn (22:43):

Could you like find a dead body somewhere or something or a little Stand By Me action?

Barney (22:49):

Yeah. It was, uh, that was bad. And um, my mom's sister, their family are super fun, but that, and that was inside Ohio but the drive...

Shawn (22:59):

They're super what, sorry?

Barney (23:00):

Super fun. Super fun. Super great, kind people. Um, but the drive was so agonizing, even though it wasn't very far, there was just something about that drive. All of these different roads that you have to change to get there. And you're like, "Are we there yet?"

Shawn (23:20):

Uh, the old question, "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" I started getting good at math because I would like look at the, uh, how many miles left until our destination. And I looked at the speedometer. (Oh yeah?) Ok, we're going 60 miles per hour. (Yeah.) If we maintain that. Okay. We'll get there in three hours.

Barney (23:39):

Yeah, I know. Yeah. I did the same.

Shawn (23:43):

But the worst vacation I had was, we were coming back from Texas and we had stopped to visit, uh, family, friends in Flagstaff, Arizona. And uh, uh, actually, actually that was the first place I saw snow in Flagstaff, Arizona, you know, go figure. But, um, we stayed at their house and it was very cool. They had like a large basement. Like one of the sons stayed in the basement. He wasn't chained up or anything. It was a nice place. You know, he wasn't the son that nobody talked about. Um, but, um, he was feeling a little bit sick and, but I, I slept in the same room with him. We had fun, you know, and the next day and everybody got up, we had breakfast and then we left and we went on our way. We'd gone to the next hotel and everybody in the family got sick except for me. (Oh, wow.) Yes. I'm patient zero. Apparently. Um, I'm like Typhoid Mary. I carry the virus, but never got sick. Now it's one thing, it's bad to be sick, but it's extremely bad to be in a car with three other people... (Oh boy.) ...with your brother throwing up in a cooler next to you. Yes. Making, making every pitstop possible. You know, and my mom wanted to spend another day in a hotel or something like that, but my dad was determined to go home. You know, we can't pay that extra $50 at the Motel Six, you know. It was horrible hearing other people throw up. So that was a very fast trip back from Flagstaff. You know, it, it sounds like something from National Lampoon's Vacation...

Barney (25:48):

It really does.

Shawn (25:48):

...but it was so funny that I was the only one that didn't get sick. And I was the one in the room with the boy, you know? Yes. But, uh, and that's how I gave my family Corona virus. No, I'm sorry. That's too...

Barney (26:09):

I didn't know that was a symptom.

Shawn (26:10):

Too current, too current, thankfully it's not as symptom. Yeah. Yeah. So that was probably the worst experience. Oh man. I remember stopping at a rest stop there at that time. And you have these like the drinking fountains and it was so windy that when I, you know, press the water to the water to shoot out the wind was blowing it away before I could drink it. You know, it's like, it was, it was a weird science experiment or something. But, uh, it's interesting though, because, um, we've had, this is our second summer with Corona our first summer of course basically wiped out everybody's vacation plans unless your vacation was to stay inside. (Yeah, really.) Um, staycation. (Yeah.) Um, but, um, yeah, it's interesting now. And boy, I wonder if, I wonder if I drove my parents as crazy as my kids drive me on like a week of vacation cause I can't imagine driving, you know, three days with my kids.

Barney (27:27):

Yeah.

Shawn (27:27):

Yeah. Although we were older, I think when we did that, but still. Yes.

Barney (27:33):

Yeah, yeah. We actually, we just got back from a short trip, um, up Tochigi and (Bastard!) I know, we, um, we went to Utsunomiya first, uh, cause we thought it's about hour and a half to get there and it breaks it up. And I was really surprised because Yuma doesn't like to be in the car for very long, but he and Silas were both great. Both times, going and coming, it was a huge surprise, how good they were.

Shawn (28:08):

Yeah. But you can't really bet on that.

Barney (28:10):

No, no. You can't, I mean just wait another day and we'll see how that changes.

Shawn (28:15):

I mean, Yeah. Well, I mean, I'll actually, I actually, I should be in grieving today. I forgot to bring up the news today. We had a loss in the family today. Um, Gabuko, uh, um, our female beetle passed away this morning and uh, um, uh, it was Kabuko. That's her name. Sorry, I, we weren't very close. Um, but, um, so she passed away maybe this morning. I don't know. Um, and her, her husband, uh, Kabuto is not a suspect at this time, but my younger son took it a little bit hard and he was crying in the morning, you know, and we only had them for about two or three weeks. Uh, in Japan, by the way, it is kind of a thing where, uh, boys and girls will keep beetles in like a glass case and stuff during the summer. And you know, I don't really like it. I think they should stay outside and they're happier there, but oh, I'm sorry. Excuse the thunder here. I'm having I'm in the middle of a thunderstorm now if the mic picks it up, I don't know. But um, uh, if the hurricane starts, I'm going to have to cut the podcast short. "See you next weeeeeek! Maybe!" But, so I buried, uh, uh, cobbler Cole, um, in, in an unmarked grave in the garden today. Um, I didn't put a little cross on there. I didn't want to presume her religion. I don't know. I didn't know. Maybe she was agnostic or Buddhist. I don't know. Yeah. But, uh, yeah, that was my little bit of news that has nothing to do with vacation, but summer it's, it's a summer memory for Japanese people, especially.

Barney (30:13):

Yeah. I bet. Yeah. That's, that's one thing, um, you know, like about tracking kids, driving their parents crazy. It's in, in my case we could just go outside and run around and go to the creek, you know, and do that kind of thing. Yeah. Not here, not in Japan. That's a rare thing to be able to send...

Shawn (30:39):

Unsupervised?

Barney (30:39):

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Shawn (30:42):

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh, even more so in the United States now, but uh, well, uh, I hope that you guys have enjoyed our little, uh, summer memories episode here. Um, I know I enjoyed learning about, uh, Barney's, uh, weird forays into the Midwest. And was it Northeast I guess?

Barney (31:05):

Yeah, really. Yeah.

Shawn (31:09):

And uh, um, and I, it was fun for me to relive the long rides between California and Texas. It was fun though. It was fun.

Barney (31:18):

Yeah. I mean, Texas itself is huge. (Yes.) I was going to ask how many days that took you but I can imagine two or three days for sure.

Shawn (31:28):

But it was still exciting because I mean, there was always the hours of boredom in the car. Um, but like when you're a little kid staying in a hotel is exciting.

Barney (31:39):

Oh yeah it is. Oh yeah it really is.

Shawn (31:40):

You know, even if it's like a Motel Six or something like that, you don't know the difference.

Barney (31:44):

No. Yeah.

Shawn (31:46):

Well, I hope you guys enjoyed the episode. Um, we, uh, stay tuned. Uh, we'll be back soon with a new episode as soon as we get done with this one. And, uh, and uh, transcribing this one and getting the learning materials up on the website. Um, sorry guys. It takes us a while to do that, but, uh, lighting. Yes, yes. Yeah. Um, I've got lightning strikes here. Um, but only the video subscribers can see that!

Barney (32:12):

I know, hey! You know you want to now.

Shawn (32:16):

Frau Blucher! Yes. That's a Young Frankenstein reference there.

Barney (32:22):

Ovaltine?

Shawn (32:22):

Yes. Okay. Well Barney, uh, anything else to add?

Barney (32:27):

Yeah. Um, keep, uh, well, I want it to say, keep sending in those surveys, but why don't you start sending in a survey, be the first one.

Shawn (32:37):

You sound like the radio DJs I would hear in the middle of nowhere because you know, in, in LA they would say like, "If you're caller number 24, you'll get tickets to this!" In the middle of nowhere in Arizona or New Mexico, it's like, "If you call in, you will receive tickets to the, uh, new production of Hello Dolly, you know, the town production." And I'm looking around thinking, where is this town? Where are these people? Yeah. But, uh, some lucky person who called in eventually...

Barney (33:14):

Hopefully they actually did. Yeah.

Shawn (33:15):

...got those Hello Dolly tickets. (Yeah.) Okay guys. Well, I hope you had fun. I know we did until next time. Uh, see you later guys. Ooh, Frau Blucher!

Barney (33:27):

Okay. Stay safe.

Shawn (33:29):

I better go before the lightning strikes me here.

Barney (33:32):

Turns off the electricity.

Shawn (33:35):

Bye for now guys.

Barney (33:37):

Yep.
