Speaker 1:
[00:06] Hey, everybody, this is a classic episode of Sleep With Me, and it covers a couple of episodes of The Good Place. And I just want to give you a heads up, there's mentions of CLOW, like WNSs, the ones that, you know, with the red nose. So if any of that stuff might bother you, you might want to skip this classic episode of Sleep With Me. You know, this is an extra episode we have started putting out a few years ago to better serve our audience, give you more selection, more content, to bring you sleepy joy and delight and help you fall asleep. So there's plenty of stuff out there if you want to skip this one. If you love The Good Place though, you'll know the, you know what I'm talking about anyway. And don't worry, it'll be extremely sleepy. So here you go. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls and friends beyond the binary, it's time for the podcaster who not only wonders if he's made this joke before, but he also wonders if he should call Carly Rae Jepsen, maybe. And wonders maybe more than likely he pronounced her name wrong. But maybe he should move on. And when did this podcast intro start making sense as soon as it started? Because I'm here to help because this is Sleep With Me, the podcast that puts you to sleep. Well, welcome to Sleep With Me, the podcast that puts you to sleep. We do it with a bedtime story. All you need to do is get in bed, turn out the lights, and press play. I'm going to do the rest. What I'm going to attempt to do is create a safe place where you could set aside whatever's giving you awake, whether it's thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, you know, things you're thinking about, things you're feeling, things you're experiencing. If you're on the road or someone you care about is on the road, maybe you're missing your bae or your bow or your boo. Or maybe you said boo-boo-hoo-hoo recently and you say, well, I'm having trouble getting to sleep. Whatever it is, shift work, whatever it is I'd like to help. Usually I do that, but those are all true things that could be keeping you up at night. I'd like to keep you company. I'd like to distract you. I'd like to make best bedtime or best time. Maybe we'll talk about best time. I'm not sure what it is. I'll have to make it up in the next few minutes. But I'd like to make bedtime less of a chore, less of a rigmarole. In something you either say, well, it's not that bad when I got Scoots, bedtime's not so bad. Or it's something you can actually look forward to and say, well, Scoots will goof around for a few minutes while I fall asleep. Whatever it is that's keeping me awake, I like the podcast because I know it's there for me. Now, if you're new, I'll just tell you right up front, give this podcast a few tries. It doesn't work for everybody. But for 99.9 percent of the people it's worked for, they say it takes two or three times before, they say the first two or three times, you're like, what is this noise? And they say, what's Creekydell-Sitones? Because Scooter is trying to create a safe place, he's going to send his voice across the deep dark night. He's going to use a lulling soothing, an acquired lulling and soothing. Creekydell-Sitones, Pointless Meanders, those are also an acquired taste. Here's Sleep With Me, the only taste you acquire while you're falling asleep. You say, well, I don't really acquire it. But I guess I do. You're not required to acquire Sleep With Me, where stuff doesn't make any sense, but it still has taglines. I guess we kind of decoy... Is there something called dequiring? Maybe that could be something we work on. What was that first thing I was going to talk about? Best time and dequiring. Maybe we'll talk about those. But if you're new, give it a few tries. See if it works. Also, if you're new structurally, here's what to expect. Show starts off with a little bit of business. That's how we keep the podcast free and try to keep all our archives free. You can find all of that stuff. Go right to our website. You wonder who sponsored the show? sleepwithmepodcast.com. It'll be right there. You can check out the sponsors there. Then there's an intro. The intro is around 12 to 13 to 15 minutes of me trying to explain what the show is to new listeners. But in a way that makes regular listeners feel comfy and snuggle in or give them something to listen to while they're brushing their teeth, while they're getting ready for bed, while they're cozying in, while they're pulling, maybe some people have two pairs of socks on, other people have zero socks on, whatever it is. The intro gives you time to do that or just to get in bed, turn out the lights and press play, and get comfy, get to puff those pillows, pull up those covers. There's also like the mystery thing with my, there's the mystery bar that does those lullabies. But sometimes my comforter does this mystery thing in my sheets. I mean, I guess it's when I don't make it in my bed in the morning. So maybe it's not a mystery, I guess mystery solved. Spoiler alert, I accidentally solved my own mystery. Yeah, but if I don't do that, and even if I get in bed and I say, apparently my bed looks fine, and then I go to pull up my sheet, and either my sheet is like, it doesn't come all the way up, or I get my sheet up there, then I start reading. It's the last stage of my bedtime routine, by the way. That's when you could press play, but I'll be reading and I'll say, well, I got my fan blasting, maybe time to pull up the old comforter. Then suddenly I said, well, it's only half length. How did my comforter slip into half length? Easy to talk about. What was I talking about other than luxury problems? But it is a mystery. I say, what the heck happened? Hey, comforter, can you pull all the way up already? Then I'm testing a weighted blanket. So they got the weighted blanket down there. But this is some of the things I talk about in the intro if you're new. You see, well, this is kind of pointless. I say, yeah, pointless meanders. You got it. Check, check and check, forgetfulness, because I already forgot. I think I was going to talk about best time. What do we call that? De-fueling? No, it was something, not decoupling. I'm an expert at that, though. I'm a desperate expert at non-coupling. But deflating doesn't sound very appealing. There's a lot of Ds that are good, but there's one I said, why isn't there a D of that? I forgot, but let me finish with structure of the show. Then there's a bedtime story. After the intro is a bedtime story. Tonight, we'll be talking about season one, episode three and four of The Good Place. More about the details in the show and stuff that came up that I noticed versus the plot or the jokes, which are the things you would want to watch the show for. This would be the stuff that you don't need to watch. The Good Place that's happening in the background, and you say, well, I would sleep through that if you're talking about it, Scoots. And I'd say, job done. Check, check, it's best time. It's time for you to get in bed, turn out the lights and press play. And for me to make bedtime less of a rigmarole, I was trying to remember. That's what best time is, where I try to do my best. Instead of my best, I take the T off, because it's a little bit, you know, you say best, it's less harsh. I always do your best. No, what are the ones when you're trying to remember? What are those chords or scales or something? No, all good boys do best, do their best, best. But I just do my best to keep you company, to take your mind off stuff. So you don't, this is weird. It's a podcast that you don't really need to listen to, which I think I already made reference to that. It's here to be your friend, your boar friend, your boar bae, your boar cuz, your boar sib, your boar bestie. I'm here as Paul Bae says. If I had a bae, it might be Paul Bae, but he says Creaky Meanders. Also check out Paul's podcast, Big Loop on Apple Podcasts or wherever you consume your podcasts. Where was I? I was trying to remember stuff I forgot. I forgot what we're going to de-do, but in some sense, the intro is me deconstructing the podcast. I'm the only person I tried to deconstruct it and reconstruct it, both unsuccessfully. But it doesn't matter because you don't need to listen, no pressure to fall asleep. I'm going to be here for about an hour. I'm going to be here to keep you company. I'm going to be here to take your mind off stuff. I'm going to be here to be goofy, but barely funny. Relatable, but forgettable. And to be your friend because I've been there. That's the thing. I've been there tossing. I've done it all even in the past week. Woke up a couple of hours before my alarm. Check. Woke up 10 minutes before my alarm and thought it was a couple of hours. But then I said, Oh boy, I'm going to go. I can't wait to get right back to sleep. Let me just double check what time it is. This is, Oh, your alarm is going off in five minutes. I said, Oh, Mac, man. I said, I don't know if I said, Oh, Mac. But maybe I will start saying that. Oh, Mac. And whatever other ones. Like I said, I can't even manage my own bedding. You see, what kind of what kind of battles do you fight in your regular day to day life scooter? You know, we're here with the bedding report. I said, well, good thing you picked the right person to interview. It's too bad you didn't interview me yesterday because it had a big mystery on my hands. Why my sheet and my comforter were different lengths, apparently. And I thought it was some sort of mystery. I probably conducted maybe an experiment, but it turns out it just didn't make my bed. Even shaking it out. The old person like me, like even if I shake it out, my sheet and my comforter, my blanket. No, I don't have a blankie. I don't have anything against blankies. I just don't have a blankie. That's a good question. I don't know if I've ever had a blankie, but I was actually talking about a mystery. And it was solved by me just saying, maybe if I make my bed, it'll be less of a mystery. Anyway, excuse me, I hate to cut this interview short, but that's what happened. My sheet or my cover was short and mystery solved. I could get back to this podcast intro. So I'm here to take the pressure off of bedtime to keep you company. This podcast is definitely more than a little bit different. It's more than a little bit strange. It does grow on you. No, it grows near you. I don't even grow anywhere near you. I'm in a speaker or a headphone. You could adjust the volume. You can set an all night playlist. You could set a sleep timer for 30 minutes or an hour. But if you need me, I'll be here till the end. That's the mission of this podcast. Take your mind off of stuff. Be silly, but you don't need to listen. But you know I'll be here. I don't know if that makes any sense. And if you wake up, you can't get back to sleep. I'm here. I'm here to help. Give it a few tries. I really work hard. And I yearn and I strive to help you fall asleep. I want to thank you so much for coming by. And if you could listen for a few minutes, this is a couple of ways we keep the show going before we get to the story. All right, everybody, tonight we're talking episodes 3 and 4, season 1 of The Good Place. And they're both named after people. The first one is named after Tahani, Tahani Al-Jamil. Al-Jamil. And both episodes are named after characters, but not after Chidi, who opens the episode at the board. He's at the big board. He's teaching Eleanor, Ethics 101, Professor Chidi Onagonye. And on the board is Socrates, 470 BCE to 399 BCE. Pallado, a student of Socrates or Socrats. I wonder if Bill and Ted and their excellent adventure. I don't really remember it, but they brought Socrats back, I think. Plato, 428 BCE to 347 BCE. And then Aristotle, who's a student of Plato, 384 BCE to 322. Let's see if I can figure out some of these ages. 70 minus 399 is 71, so that's an easy one. 428 minus 347, what is that? 53. Wow, they lived a lot of ripe ages. 53 plus 28 is like high in the 80s, I think. 70, 72 or something. In Aristotle, 384 minus 322, so not quite 40 would be 62. 60 would be 80, so 60, still not too bad. 62, Aristotle. Holy mackerel, I guess that was an age of enlightenment. But really, I hope you're watching these episodes because there's really some good humor in here, in a lot of details. There's other things on the board, but Chidi is standing my way right now. But Eleanor has her notes and she's drawing, I really didn't notice this for two or three times, there's a drawing of Chidi on her legal pad, but she's reading the note that she was left, that you don't belong here. And not even, I don't have time to do screencaps, but I'm pretty sure he's saying blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, like in a word bubble. Let's see, founder of Western Philosophical Dialogue, I don't know what that says, probably not luster virtue, probably virtue though. A few other things to notice is there's a wooden driftwood sculpture in the house, the home. Tahani comes in with a big plant tree. It looks like actually it's two plants, technically. It's a tree with a flower. It could be a gardenia. I don't know if that's a tree or bush. And then below it, it has some sort of a fern or moss. So probably a really good air scrubber. And she gives that to Eleanor as a gift. Also, you can see when she leaves that she is very tall. And I said even as this is some sort of purposeful thing, the way they shot it. I don't know what this means. 1202, 202, notice there's something we needed to pause. 1202 or something. Let me see if I can go back. Yeah, there we go. One around one minute, 22 seconds. You get a really good picture of this sketch clown, is him calling it. It's definitely something based on another famous artist who I can't think of right now. And again, really creative. And I'm just noticing also now that I have it paused. So you have the sketch clown to the left of the front door, over Eleanor's left shoulder. It kind of like an impressionist caricature. I can't say that word, caricature. You know, caricature without the middle thing that I'm flumbling. But there's also some sort of on her entryway table or shelf. There's some sort of thing. It could be a lamp. It has a lot of fuzzy material on it, though, and it's gray. So it could be a sculpture. It could be some sort of high tech doorbell. And it could be a lamp that's not on currently. It could be a wooden driftwood sculpture where a sketch clown. Oh, Cheaty's got one. I couldn't think of what these things are called. They did afterwards. I called it a neck sweater with a jacket over it. Kind of a beige neck sweater. But I think they're really called turtlenecks. There's a great shot of brilliant physical humor when he's rendered speechless in this scene. And you really see the level of acting when you're watching it, on mute, making a sleep podcast, even his posture. Then we have a scene with Janet Morecasual, Michael Spars. It's a more casual Janet with some of the joking, which is funny. Michael Spars, he has understated blue tie and pocket square. And the pocket square has some highlights that match his lighter blue tie, maybe a periwinkle on the tie. I'm not ready to say that though, more of like a gray blue. And he does have the black buttons on his shirt. Again, it just adds to the look. Like if you have French cuffs, do you have French buttons too? And do you buy a shirt that way? You say, well, that would be confusing to me. Well, buying a French cuff shirt, does it need a French chest? Like, do you call it a French chest? I mean, I don't know what a French chest is. That probably sounds like something like a French chested duck prepared two ways. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind having a French chest. I guess a chest you got in France would be a French chest. Subtle, though, like my humor. There's roses on the table. Chidi also in this scene, you see, he's qualified to do Sleep With Me. He goes on a few tangents and they're talking about getting Chidi some new hobbies, which will be one of the through points of this episode. Janet uses the term hump day. This was unintentional, but Tahani's got a big globe, which she does in her house. I said, is it leather or some sort of, I couldn't tell. Eleanor rolls in with a bushel of pears with a green present bow on it. You know, the kind with the sticky where you pull it off and you stick it on the top of a present. I guess it's not, is that a bow? It's not a, it's made from ribbons, but it's a bow, but it's not a tied bow. Though somebody had to tie it, but it's really stapled together. And that was green, but the pears go in the garbage. They get a couple of nice views of the globe. But actually, this is interesting. Tahani actually lounges, like a, kind of like a painting. I'm not sure who's painting it would be. I want to say Vermeer, but I'm not positive who was doing a lot of lounging. Yeah, it closed or unclosed. I'd have to bust out my Berger and see what he has to say about this. But she actually lounges instead of sitting or lying. She has it like what I would, I don't know what a chase lounge is, but her thing, she is more of a sofa or some sort of chair, and she actually lounges in it. And you probably know if you're a classical, if you're from the, I guess this would say, well, people in the Gilded Age should lounge, but I'm thinking of the Age of Enlightenment. Or maybe I'm getting the Renaissance mixed up in there somewhere. But she lounges, which looks very both classy and relaxing. And I say, well, that's a look, that's a guess from the intentional side of the show. Brilliant. And they're going to have a little bit of bounding time. Then we're back at Eleanor's. We see her coffee table with Tahani's tree on it. She's either having tea or coffee out of a very modern teapot. And one thing about The Good Place you should know, you better like tea or like teapots, because there's a lot of them that I've been noticing. And this one is all glass or plastic. It's like a teapot within a teapot, like blown glass within blown glass or something. There's also like a long bowl, bowl thing. I don't think it's actually a bowl, but it's the kind of thing you put your wallet and your keys and your paper in when you come in, or it holds wicker balls. It couldn't hold anything, couldn't hold chips because it's kind of shaped like a skiff would be, like long and shallow. I think the only thing it could really hold is wicker balls, those decorative wicker balls we talked about last week. I also put C-R-A-P like that. What does this say? Scene ends on Eleanor's plan. She has a plan which you're going to watch the show. Oh, to bust a hanny. There's her plan. Spoiler. Okay, then post, there's a willow tree. I didn't know if it was a weeping willow. And again, they're in a botanical garden. This seems like the Chinese garden, part of the botanical garden. And then I said, is this a Portland botanical garden? And I was trying to think if I, like, again, I'll have to look up the LA area botanical gardens. And some nice work by the extras here. There's a couple on a date in the background, and the guy is hiding the flowers behind his back. Well, Tahani and Eleanor walk. And like to that, Tahani also has a big hat. It didn't seem protective, though. Like that it would cover, like block the sun from her ears and everything. It was more of a decoratively big hat. She also mentioned that she's Baz Lerman's muse. And this is where she says the proper pronunciation of her last name, Ah Jamil. Ah Jamil. So Tahani Al Jamil, which I'm probably messing up, even though I tried to write it out and re-listen to it a bunch of times. And she says, Ironically, my name means, Congratulation, Beautiful. Then we have a flashback about Andy Scoffey, which I didn't want my childhood name associated with. Then at eight minutes, we get a scene with Janet Michael, and in about eight minutes, we get a scene with Janet Michael and Chidi, a view from above, a guess of The Good Place. And you can kind of see mountains in the distance. There's a big lake. The Good Place seems a little bit too Hamlet-esque, like a French countryside. It's on the bottom right. And I said, I don't know if I got that French countryside. I mean, there's a European. If you go on a Hollywood tour, you'll learn this. It's like a very European town center. It does look like it probably has decent swimming. And we do see one of the beaches later, but there's lots of beaches. And I said, it looks like it may have good swimming. I'm not 100 percent sure. I mean, if it's a good place, it should have good swimming. But she's just great. Like incredibly funny joke writing with GD and talking about some of the things he deals with. And Janet, this is probably when this is one of my favorite, is when she's doing her fun facts. So that's that aren't very fun. Those are all at eight minutes. And she says, a fun fact, a wheelhouse is part of a boat. Fun fact, Janet is me. Tahani's rolling with maple butter scones in an old school picnic basket. And I guess they're delicious. Then we go to a new hobby for Chidi. Michael says, extra, extra. Chidi Onagonye, to assume position of editor-in-chief. And there's just a lot. Here's the article you'd write about you. Really funny, like different things. It's the Picayune Gazette. Good Place Neighborhood 1259 or 12345678. The cost is $3. Sport Team Wins Medals. Clocks look mixed up on all the times. Also, there's some humor. It was tough to watch with a 10-year-old, but it was funny. Tea and lots of cakes. I like the kind of, this is like evening at Tahani's house. There's actually cucumber or finger sandwiches or something. Like a piano. I think some of the cakes or the cookies were what we would have at our piano recital, or what you'd imagine at least. In Tahani's, I go take a work at bath, I think. Two, oh, the diary of Tahani al-Jamil. It has gold foil leather cover. Then there's arc welding. There's a notice on the walls that says, have fun! Exclamation point. What is this? It's a mess, dude. To me. There's also a sign that says, make something cool. Two weeks. I don't know what any of that means, but more, just really funny. He's like, this isn't for me. These hobbies aren't for me. I'm an intellectual or I don't know what. He's like an ethicist, I guess. Then he gets back to Eleanor's. He's feeling down. This is another great scene. He's feeling down. And he says, Eleanor, am I a good teacher? She says, yeah, I'm super ethical now. Meanwhile, she says she has the diary under her shirt. And the plant hits the road to Tahani's plant. Chidi and Cactuses, Priad? I don't think that's cactus. Oh yeah, it is. To his left, there's a cactus. A couple of small cactuses on a wooden, I guess that's your Norwegian Icelandic style or whatever, Icelandic primitive. Even though Tahani's plant didn't make it, the moss did fine or the fern or whatever. And then he says, to be good, you need to do good things, not something to throw sand, don't throw sand. And The Good Place, Me-Fasting, Infallible Formula. I don't know what Me-Fasting means. M-E-E-F-S-U-Ting is what my handwriting says. But it's probably something they're talking about, Me-Fasting, Infallible Formula. Then there's a flashback to Eleanor Troll and her boyfriend at the time. She does have a bowl in her apartment for her keys and her mail, which she puts in. This is a really actually heartwarming scene and important, I think, for the story. Eleanor and Chidi are sitting side by side. Eleanor admits that good people make her feel insecure. Chidi says, Well, don't listen to me. My life's work makes no sense. Eleanor says, Michael does not know everything. She says, Chidi, you're a good person. You're good at teaching ethics. It had a big revelation at 1640 from last week's episode 2. The plastic deconstructed clown sculpture I was talking about that's in the Pyrex container, whatever that thing is called, the plastic. I'm not sure it is a sculpture. It's even better. So if you tune in at 1640, it's kind of like a shadow clown sculpture. So there's a light projecting on it. Then there's a shadow of a deconstructed clown on the wall. Then she is in Michael's office. I'm not sure if Michael's pond sculptures have been moved to the other side of his desk or not. There's some sort of white floral candle or jar sculpture. Honestly, man, new beginnings, Dre returned, Tahani's sad. I don't know. So honestly, honesty, man, new beginnings, the diary gets returned. And she's talking about Giannu. And then Eleanor and Tahani have a relatable moment. And Eleanor makes Tahani giggle cry. And she says, even your hugs are amazing. Then Eleanor just goes home. She gets another hug from Chidi. The tree has regrown. And she says, you're a good teacher. He says, you're a good learner. Okay, this entering is pretty bad. Eleanor is gathering. Oh, she's at the conservatory eating at the Garden Conservatory eating what's this stuff called frozen yogurt. The conservatory is behind her. Janet is living her truth and creating her bliss. And Eleanor and Michael, something, Nave, Bowrand dots. Oh, bow tie red dots. Dark Navy bow tie with red dots. Maybe if I go to The Good Place, my handwriting will be legible. Then a Margarita Square. I know that's not what that is. Magenta, oh, it's Magenta's Pocket Square. Then Eleanor is home. She gets a note, Meet Me at Town. She goes to Downtown, The Good Place. There's cobblestones. They notice the train station. There's some mist. Gianni is there. He's confident and calm. These are early episodes, so don't read too much into it. Eleanor says, Please don't sell. She says, Don't worry. I am fraction at home, why? And I'm a fraction at home, why? And but actually what happens? I don't like that. Yeah, that's what he says. This is exactly what he says to her. He says, I'm a fraction at home, why? And so a bit of a mystery. Hang out cobblestones. I think maybe that's a song. Then 0002. So this basically is the start of the next episode. The fountain is lit from below by blue lights. I liked that a lot. Playing on my screen is when Chidi hugs Eleanor. He's really good at giving a hug too. And the tree looks great. And let's see, blue lights. Jamie and Michael, he has a peacock tie. Oh, that must be Giannou, it was in Michael's office. Then he's telling Eleanor his theories about Space Zoo's prank shows. He talks about a boy, a DJ, named Jason Mendoza. And times Jet Skis and Manatees is a song he was famous for in Jacksonville, Florida. He is an amateur body spray inventor with powers of deduction. Also, I'm looking, this is still Episode 1. Tahani has three different necklaces on and it still looks good. I can't see it now because I just see on the side of her. Yeah, she has like an amber one, but I'm not sure if it's a change scenes. Welcome to the bottom of the barrel. That's what Eleanor says to Janyu, Jason, and then the episode opens. Then Tahani is gathering fresh orchids for her bath. Tie is a pastel plaid. At first, I changed this later. The Spockett Square maybe has some sort of impressionist flowers on it. They talk about the successful fundraiser Tahani did in Barcelona. She corrects Janet and says, is she Barcelona? No, Bartholoma. She got five Gwenties, I think, or something. It's so packed with jokes this show, you can't even keep up. But Michael loves the idea of suspenders. He loves the idea of wearing suspenders. He's got a bean bag, a chair, I think it was brown, and a big, there's like a big remote control on one shelf. I said, is that for a car, a remote control car, a plane? And we learn a lot about John Yoo and this, or Jason, because he talks about what he, he says he misses being himself. And we see the kind of conflict between him being himself and the results he gets. And when he meets Acid Cat, a DJ, a super cool DJ, at a concert, and he's Jason, he's a DJ music, and he has a hat, and the guy says, hey, you're my same size, you can fill in as Acid Cat. Acid Cat's eyes have lights in them, the costume, he dresses up as a cat DJing. The Good Place, that's the restaurant Tahani's getting ready for. And to be refracted, Frank, to be perfectly Frank, someone uses Chef Patricia. And Michael still has the same blood tie as earlier, but I said it's less pastel, more spring colors. A couple of things from Chidi's Big Board, Of The Self, Lao Tzu, Knowing Equals Wisdom, David Hume, 1738. A book on a table called Good People, Tough Choices. David Hume, A Treatise on Human Nature, and Buddha, Syria, The Self. Those are all things Chidi was hoping to cover today. Then here are some EDM and we see a Barefoot Jacksonville Jaguars fan and a Number 5 outfit dancing. Tahani comes in to get her afternoon gloves. She drops off her morning gloves, which are white. No, those are her afternoon gloves. She picks up her early evening gloves, which are navy, dark blue. She also uses the phrase a whisper in your snicker box, which I would love to know if that's in Parlayence anywhere, but it means keeping a secret, a whisper in your snicker box. So start using that. So is anybody keeping a whisper in their snicker box? I guess it makes me think of knickerbockers or those kind of things, but a whisper in your snicker box. She also says my heart is soaring, which I found very melodious. Is the main, the name, the memory, Janet in background up to 104 percent perfect. Oh, bud. So let's see, the more the merrier, the more the memory. I don't know, she's talking to Michael and Janet's in the background doing something. But Michael says things can always be up to 104 percent perfect here in The Good Place. Some, I think we're back. Oh, so back at the butthole, we see Jason has this sun globe. Then we have a flashback of acid cat Jason and his best friend Pill Boy, where he again says, I got to be myself man. Then he introduces himself as Mr. Music, the DJ to the crowd. And personally, I enjoyed the music in his dancing, but I guess I already liked Jason. So the crowd does not like it. Then we're at the restaurant opening. That's what Tahani's been working on, The Good Place. Michael's sporting a Navy bow tie with some sort of stitching or imprint or something in either a black, gray or something pocket square. I put bucket square. There's a fireplace. There's a tea kettle above the fireplace. And they're having everyone's favorite meal or whatever, something they call it. And it's one dude. It's a 1210. One dude has a fried chicken with gold foil on it. And there's a couple other good. There's a roast chicken. Let's see what else do we have? This is at one table. There's a roast chicken. Somebody has like two cheeses and some sort of vegetables. Somebody else has some sort of like either another small roast. I guess it could have been cooked in liquid too. Somebody else either has giant peanut M&M, a bowl of giant peanut M&M's or gum balls. Chidi has his grandmother's mafe, which is a fresh perch, slow roasted in peanut sauce. Also looks like it has like a bit of carrot in there. And even maybe that the like with crispy skin maybe even. Then there's tofu. That's what Jason has. So the tofu doesn't go over well. Michael has his suspenders. He shows them off. He's very happy about those. They have like some sort of print, like the paramecium print. I can't remember what that's called. I know it's a thing. It's called something else, but I almost remembered it. But I used to always call it the paramecium print anyway. That's when I saw the carrots in the mafe. Three tiered orchid cake with gold print and pink ribbon on it. Then this dude starts to tell podcast level chicken soup story. But they fade out of that and they cut into GD and Eleanor talking about using chocolate cake as a distraction. Then they fade back to the chicken soup story. The dude telling the story, of course, has a better ending, that is exciting. Like how chicken soup saved the world. Where I was inspired by chicken soup to do something great. GD tells Eleanor she broke everything. Also, Eleanor has a really sweet leather jacket on. Not at dinner, but after dinner. Then we are back at Jacksonville at the harbor with Pillboy and Jason. And again, he is talking about being himself. I should be myself. Jason Mendoza. A beautiful, unique soul. And then they deal with the Acid Cat 3. I guess one of Acid Cat's 3 boats or the third version of Acid Cat's Speed Boats. So that was fun. And Michael is dealing with a sinkhole VR map on his desk or above his desk, to the left of his desk maybe. And notice he has a black leather patent. I don't know what patent means, but like a black leather post-it holder or a sticky note holder. A fanciful wordplay. They were in Jason's bud room and I said, is that a vacuum cleaner there? And there's a purple tapestry on a frame. And he says, I didn't get into heaven to go to school, dudes. And if you pan, when you walk into Eleanor's house, though, just to the right is, what is this, a final dove when you first come in, a fishtail dove. There's a raised cabinet with three plants in it. It's a planter and it has rocks. It's waist-high, like right to the wall, like almost like a wall, but it's only about four feet long. And it looks really good, but I was wondering if it had any utility. Like maybe there's a cabinet in the bottom, but I guess if you're watering the plants, you wouldn't want to put anything in the cabinet. You feel like me because I would over or under water. Then they talk about ethics and different ways of saying that word. And let's get cracking. And Jason says, when do the football tryouts start? And does the school have a prom? Which was very endearing. And Eleanor says, thank goodness. It's good to have, when you're not doing well at school, I can tell you this, it's good to have partners. And so Eleanor is finally like, well, if I'm at school, it's pretty good to be at school with someone like Jason, who's a little bit distractible and not as focused on, he's not results oriented, he's about being himself. There's also like, I forgot if Jason's jokes about being a DJ in Jacksonville, Daytona, Tallahassee, Tampa even, even Miami, cuz he believes in himself. And I guess it was funny, I thought it was also like, he sometimes says these transcendent things, like a beautiful, unique soul. So that scene comes to a close. And then there's a scene in downtown or whatever, at the town center on the notice board, which is like a notice pole. It's a kind of an octagon. What is it got? Six sides. Maybe it's a septagon or something. And Tahani's posting a poster for The Good Place. But there's also a Train Your Cat Tricks advertisement. There's a coupon for GDPY, The Good Place is Best Yogurt. 100% off, ends never. There's a massage. Massage is, I can't read the rest of the ad though, a thing up. Food's So Good, It Ripped a Hole in the Earth is what it says for The Good Place, which is pretty funny. And her poster, of course, looks the best too. Let me see, I'm trying to see if I can see any of the other ones. Also, number five on the Jacksonville Jaguars is Blake Bortles, which I think Jason says his name at another point in the episode or one of these episodes. There's a couple other ads, but the scene moves so fast. So again, there's always hidden cookies in this. And then Tahani goes back and looks into the sinkhole. And she says, wait, it's getting a little bit bigger here. We better get like what's happening. And with that, the episode comes to a close. I also looked up Whisper in Your Snicker Box, which it doesn't really have any, it just has discussions about The Good Place on there. But I think it's pretty like your snicker box will be what your mouth that you eat snickers with. Or if you're snickering, I don't know if that's a word snickering. And whisper means you're whispering with your mouth. You've got to whisper in your mouth that you're whispering when I'm not paying attention. A few other things to think about would be, what are you going to make mafe? Yeah, because that sounds pretty good. Purchase it. It sounds like it's tasty. I would like, I guess if I had a choice between a bowl of gumballs or peanut M&Ms, I would choose peanut M&Ms every day of the week. Here's something I haven't tried. Maybe I'll try this soon is to get Reese's Pieces and peanut M&Ms. I don't know if they're still separate companies, but I definitely prefer Reese's Pieces, but I prefer peanut M&Ms. No offense to any of the other products out there, but that's just where my loyalty falls when I'm loyal to buying stuff. I did have some Reese's Pieces within the last two or three months. I said, holy cow, I can't believe I haven't had these in a while. They're so delicious. I guess if you're still with me here, start to think about putting a day of wearing gloves if you were Tahani, or some other classy character. You'd wake up with the gloves you put on for bed, which would probably be some sort of moisturizing glove, but part of the purpose. Then you put on your morning breakfast gloves, I guess. Or would you eat breakfast and then put on your morning gloves? You could need morning gloves too, if you're depending on what the activity is. Then your lunching gloves. I'm sure if you're doing any lunching or brunching, those would, I think brunching gloves would probably be, those would say decorate the heck out of those. Lunching gloves, your lunch might have a purpose, so you probably don't want those to be distracting. How about, like at snack time, I have some munch, these are my munching gloves. Those are actually, hey, Cheetos or Doritos, think about inventing those, munching gloves. Then you don't got to worry about that orange stuff. And maybe they could be made out of a snack, like some material they see. We could still snack on it. You just don't have to snack on it. You just snack on it on the glove. So those would be lunch and not lunching gloves. How about this, was there ever munchy cheese gloves? Did munchy cheese ever wear gloves? You could clip one to your glove. Then there's afternoon gloves. There's so many silky gloves too to be thinking about in bed. A pillow made of gloves. If you're a bespoke pillow maker, I guess you could have a pillow stuffed with gloves. That's right. Or a pillowcase made of gloves, but neither of what I said. But you could still say that, a pillow made of gloves, and I guess that could be like a gift for Father's Day, like one of the ones that never gets used. You'd say, well, yeah, what's your father's career? We'll make a pillow made of gloves based on their career. That could be something you'd think about. But yeah, so slide on those gloves, those sleeping gloves, and slide your hands under your pillow or around your snuggle pillow, or your body pillow, or your pillow pad, or your stuffed animal, or your blanket. Dig in there, get comfy, get cozy, and good night.
