1:39 Speaker 04 Welcome back to Artists on Artists on Artists on Artists. This week, pack that fanny pack, put on some sunscreen, and get ready to smile the whole day. We're talking to actors from theme parks.
1:52 Speaker 05 Theme parks are all over this great nation with not just Disneyland, but water parks and lots of other things as well. And the people who make up these theme parks are the lifeblood of it. They're actors. We talked to them today.
2:08 Speaker 04 So, sit down and enjoy this exclusive conversation with the actors from Ohio's premier theme park, Gumption Point. Let's listen in.
2:22 Speaker 06 Can you even believe it?
2:26 Speaker 04 I didn't shower today. I didn't shower today.
2:28 Speaker 05 No, this is, this is fun. This is absolutely fun.
2:33 Speaker 07 Real breasts.
2:34 Speaker 05 This is good. This is good.
2:36 Speaker 06 So great, guys.
2:38 Speaker 04 I'm so excited we're all on camera together.
2:40 Speaker 07 I can't believe-
2:41 Speaker 04 Showing our real faces.
2:42 Speaker 05 It made it out of the group chat. It made us out of the group chat. Exactly. I love the gumption chat.
2:48 Speaker 07 I love it.
2:49 Speaker 05 Send an employee uniform ideas and pictures and all this kind of stuff. It's fun as heck.
2:55 Speaker 07 I can't believe people want to know about Little Gumption Point.
2:59 Speaker 05 We're making our way up, though.
3:00 Speaker 07 I can't believe it. It's blown up on TikTok. We are all, we all work at, should I just talk directly to camera? I don't know. There's no kids here.
3:07 Speaker 04 Who do we look at?
3:08 Speaker 07 There's no kids here, so I don't know.
3:09 Speaker 04 Who do we look at?
3:11 Speaker 06 Who do we look at?
3:12 Speaker 05 Who do we look at? Well, I think you can always look at me. My eyes are safe. That's what I always say. If you're ever freaking out, you can make eye contact with me and I'll breathe you through it.
3:21 Speaker 04 You're so amazing in that. You should, you should be in the park when a kid's having a meltdown. And you will be if you're at the park, but you're really good walking in and you see him and you, you'll freeze him.
3:31 Speaker 05 And I say, listen, hey, hey, hey. And I see him spiraling, you know, they go, they go in circles and they're like, I want water. Our theme park mama.
3:40 Speaker 05 Well, we'll go ahead and introduce ourselves. I am a theme park mama, of course. My name is Barbara Dupree and I am, I play the big gumption ghost.
3:55 Speaker 05 The big gumption ghost that is of course the friendly ghost who wanders around saying hi to kids, saying hi to adults, making sure everybody's okay. And I am so happy to be here with these fabulous people.
4:11 Speaker 04 The literal mayor of Gumption Point.
4:13 Speaker 06 Our mayor's a ghost.
4:15 Speaker 04 Our mayor's a ghost.
4:16 Speaker 07 Our mayor's a ghost and she's a mama.
4:19 Speaker 05 She's a mama bear and she was democratically elected. Right. Yes, of course.
4:23 Speaker 06 Just so you guys understand at home, like, like, you know, Disney has all those characters, Six Lass have all those characters, but like Gumption Point, like we kind of like have our own characters.
4:31 Speaker 04 We have our own lore. It's a very complicated, interesting lore that I would say if the inventor of Gumption Point, Ronald Gumption, was alive today, he would be diagnosed with what we call bipolar disorder.
4:44 Speaker 05 Yeah. But back then, they just said up and down.
4:46 Speaker 04 Exactly.
4:47 Speaker 05 He's up and down.
4:48 Speaker 04 He had his good days and his bad days.
4:49 Speaker 07 That's what they said back then.
4:51 Speaker 00 And just to preface a little bit, so if I can, so I play the AAA battery. And so my name, my name is Talladega Night.
5:02 Speaker 05 Hi, Talladega.
5:03 Speaker 07 Tally. Tally.
5:04 Speaker 05 Talladega Night. AAA battery.
5:07 Speaker 06 I love Tally. She's awesome.
5:08 Speaker 00 They mess around with me sometimes, but I play the, did I say double or triple? Sometimes AAA battery.
5:14 Speaker 07 Sometimes double during the holiday.
5:14 Speaker 00 Yeah, nine volt during Christmas. So we like to walk around and sometimes, I don't know, just mess around with the kids a little bit in a very, you know, appropriate kind of way. So that's, um.
5:24 Speaker 04 And you're also bouncing over the nine volts of Christmas, the show you do.
5:27 Speaker 00 Yes, yes, exactly. And so we all get together.
5:30 Speaker 06 I love nine volts of Christmas. It's like my favorite time of the year.
5:33 Speaker 00 Well, he plays the flathead, so.
5:34 Speaker 06 So I play flathead.
5:36 Speaker 04 Just for nine volts, just for nine volts.
5:38 Speaker 00 Just for nine volts, no, he's usually the, yeah, Phillips head, so. But yeah, so that's me, Talladega.
5:43 Speaker 04 And you're so wise beyond your years. I can't believe what you've accomplished.
5:48 Speaker 06 How old are you again?
5:49 Speaker 00 I'm 15 years old.
5:50 Speaker 06 15, like that's crazy.
5:52 Speaker 05 And I love what you do with your batteries where you will give the kids a tiny little volt shock.
5:58 Speaker 00 Yeah, we have a taser and so, and it's not.
6:01 Speaker 05 But it's fun.
6:02 Speaker 00 Right. It's not, you know, it's not like police grade, but it's like.
6:04 Speaker 07 You can get through TSA.
6:05 Speaker 00 Yeah, yeah, it's not, it's not anything too crazy, but you know, give them a little poke and a little jolt and they, they love it. They really do.
6:11 Speaker 06 It's so fun. It's like so silly to watch.
6:13 Speaker 00 It's so funny. It's great. Yeah.
6:16 Speaker 04 I mean, I, I'm so happy, you know, this country has become lawsuit crazy. They get so scared.
6:22 Speaker 05 And talk about this country, please.
6:24 Speaker 04 I mean, and you know, I love to, you know, I love to. And, and the thing is, I was so nervous when everything, you know, lawsuit, lawsuit, hot coffee, hot coffee, tort reform, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I said, they're gonna get rid of the station where we shock children.
6:38 Speaker 00 Right.
6:38 Speaker 04 I said, they're gonna get rid of it.
6:40 Speaker 06 It still, it still stands. It still stands.
6:43 Speaker 04 Endemption's vision stands.
6:44 Speaker 05 So if you believe in our vision, if you believe in the shock station, you have to show support for us on social media and participate in the TikTok trend that's going viral right now, which is a sugar rush shock volt double header.
6:58 Speaker 07 Say it again. Say it again.
7:00 Speaker 05 A sugar rush shock volt double header. I said it worse this time.
7:06 Speaker 07 That was good, mama. That was good, mama.
7:07 Speaker 05 A sugar rush shock volt double header. Say that five times fast.
7:13 Speaker 00 Right.
7:13 Speaker 07 Good.
7:15 Speaker 06 We're kind of making you when you're saying it's slow.
7:18 Speaker 07 But I love, I love what you do because you always have a little line, a line of freaky little boys that want to get shocked.
7:24 Speaker 00 Interesting. So, and so what made you say that?
7:27 Speaker 07 I wanted to tell you, because I like looking at our demographics.
7:31 Speaker 00 Careful.
7:32 Speaker 07 I like seeing, I like seeing who gets in line for what, because I have most of the mamas and, and the babysitters come up to me because I'm the food court monster.
7:44 Speaker 06 Food court monster.
7:46 Speaker 04 We got a ghost in a monster.
7:48 Speaker 06 Well, we've got a named ghost. What was your name again? You were the ghost.
7:51 Speaker 05 I'm the gumption ghost. The mayor gumption ghost.
7:55 Speaker 06 Mayor gumption ghost. And then we have food court monster.
7:57 Speaker 00 Right.
7:58 Speaker 06 Which, and we've been trying to pitch a name for, and of course, AAA battery.
8:02 Speaker 05 But Talladega Nights, the AAA battery.
8:05 Speaker 06 We're really trying to, well, like, we haven't been telling our character names, right? Like, the actual names that they call you.
8:10 Speaker 05 Mine is nine volt battery.
8:12 Speaker 06 Nine volt battery.
8:12 Speaker 04 That is nine volt battery.
8:13 Speaker 06 Yeah.
8:15 Speaker 07 Um, and yeah, no, my name is, um, please come to the food court and buy food.
8:19 Speaker 06 Yes, that's your full name. I love it.
8:20 Speaker 07 My name is, please come to the food court and buy food. And then I do a flip.
8:23 Speaker 05 She/her.
8:24 Speaker 07 Um, she/her, thank you.
8:26 Speaker 04 A staunchly she/her. Very feminine, very femme.
8:29 Speaker 07 Mister, s- s- s- very femme, um, senior, senior gumption, uh, he, he created me last, believe it or not, because they wanted more people to go to the food court.
8:43 Speaker 06 Yeah.
8:44 Speaker 05 But you don't feel like an add-on. There's, there's lore attached to you, you know? There's, there's, um, you know, the food court trading cards, where you can collect the trading cards from each little booth in the food court. It's fun.
8:58 Speaker 00 The kids love it. I love watching them eat. I love watching them just, you know, have some fun times, like with the family and stuff. And I don't get a lunch break, but it's fun to see them eat and enjoy.
9:07 Speaker 05 No, well, you can't. You're the star.
9:08 Speaker 00 I can't have a lunch break, um, but leave, yeah.
9:10 Speaker 07 Yeah, you don't have a mouth hole.
9:12 Speaker 00 No, I don't.
9:12 Speaker 04 We can't leave that unattended either.
9:14 Speaker 00 Yes, no, no, of course not.
9:15 Speaker 04 The shocks.
9:15 Speaker 00 No, I'm, I'm. Live, so that's my drink is I'm live.
9:19 Speaker 04 You know what I love about the monster of the food court, you know, Dan Gumption on his deathbed said, even when they're eating, they need to be smiling. So.
9:28 Speaker 00 Yes.
9:28 Speaker 07 Oh, God, that's gonna make me emotional.
9:30 Speaker 04 He wanted people to be happy every single place because it was, you know, hard for him to be happy. Sometimes he was really happy.
9:35 Speaker 06 Sometimes he was too happy. And that's when we got all the crazy ideas.
9:41 Speaker 00 My mom says I get that from them.
9:43 Speaker 05 Oh, roller coaster upside down.
9:45 Speaker 04 You get to sing every food court.
9:47 Speaker 07 I sing, I flip. I'm doing kind of a whole show over there, y'all. So y'all could come over there anytime. And my, my actor name, my name is Bubbles.

10:16 Speaker 06 Yeah. So, okay. So, yeah, my parents made a mistake on my birthday.
10:20 Speaker 05 We've seen your, don't be humble. We've seen your SSN.
10:26 Speaker 07 To work at Gumption, we've seen your.
10:28 Speaker 04 Don't be humble. We all know your social security number.
10:30 Speaker 06 You guys know, they pass around social security numbers. It's pretty fun.
10:34 Speaker 04 We have to memorize them in case there's an accident. That was a Dan Gumption thing.
10:38 Speaker 06 The medic is only asking for SSNs. So, yeah, so I'm Tyder, Tyder, but I go by Tyler Doughton. And I am in fishery world and I play Sam the sardine a lot of the year, besides Christmas and sometimes fall. Sam the sardine is kind of like this kooky sardine that kind of like, it like goes like, whoa, welcome to the fishery. It's like super fun and, and I have a lot of fun and.
11:03 Speaker 00 I love when you pop out of the can in the beginning of the day to start the whole thing.
11:07 Speaker 06 So that's hard. They put me in the can like four hours before.
11:10 Speaker 00 And they oil you up.
11:11 Speaker 06 They oil me up. Yeah. I'm an oiled canned fish.
11:14 Speaker 07 Like trash and shit.
11:16 Speaker 04 I smell worse than I do right now.
11:17 Speaker 06 I'm oily. I'm oily a lot of days. They use fish smell.
11:20 Speaker 00 They vacuum seal you in there too, huh?
11:22 Speaker 06 Vacuum seal me in. I have a little breathing too.
11:24 Speaker 05 Folks don't know this. It's a real can.
11:25 Speaker 06 It's a real can.
11:26 Speaker 07 Kids at home, it's a real can.
11:27 Speaker 06 That's what people are showing up for. The first person at Gumption Point gets to open the can.
11:32 Speaker 00 Right.
11:32 Speaker 06 And get Sam, the sardine out in the world.
11:35 Speaker 00 And there was one day where I think, and I don't know if this is sensitive, but where we forgot. We didn't have the proper opener and you were stuck for five hours.
11:42 Speaker 06 So that is sensitive. That's sensitive. Yeah, that's really sensitive. But yeah, no, it's fine. It's sensitive. I was stuck here for five hours. The cops had to bring the jaws of life to get me out of there.
11:52 Speaker 07 And the jaws of life.
11:53 Speaker 04 And not the silly cops.
11:54 Speaker 06 No, not the silly cops.
11:55 Speaker 04 The jaws, the jawbreakers of life. Those gigantic balls you roll around on.
11:59 Speaker 07 I love the jawbreakers of life.
12:01 Speaker 06 Well, that's in cop world that we have.
12:02 Speaker 04 That's in cop world.
12:03 Speaker 07 Which closes at 5pm because they do the fireworks from there.
12:08 Speaker 04 Yeah, we got, yeah, yeah, exactly.
12:10 Speaker 06 But I, I just love gumption point and I'm loving the love that we're getting on TikTok and all our cookie characters.
12:16 Speaker 00 And after the lawsuit and everything, this is just really nice to have some like positive press. Cause I know that when I, well, when I incapacitated the child and he went into a medically induced coma, a lot of things were not looking too great for us, but then obviously.
12:29 Speaker 07 Say his name.
12:30 Speaker 00 Well, his name was Charlie. Charlie.
12:32 Speaker 06 Charlie.
12:33 Speaker 04 Charlie. I was gonna say Charo. Charo?
12:36 Speaker 06 Charla.
12:36 Speaker 00 It was something to that effect. I didn't really store it in my memory.
12:39 Speaker 06 You're never wrong.
12:40 Speaker 00 And I'm never wrong. And I say that.
12:42 Speaker 04 You shouldn't feel so bad about that because you told him you wanted to do it and you told him you were going to do it.
12:48 Speaker 07 You warned him.
12:49 Speaker 00 Yes. And at the end of the day, he asked for it.
12:51 Speaker 06 Yeah.
12:51 Speaker 07 So then that's, and you said that in court and you said that in press? And I believe it.
12:55 Speaker 04 He said, I mean, I remember they were reading in court the transcript. He said, put me in a coma, mama.
13:01 Speaker 00 Yes. And I was indicted, but then I was released on bail. Thank you so much, Tider.
13:04 Speaker 06 No problem. Yeah, I, I bailed, I bailed her out.
13:07 Speaker 00 And then at the end of the day.
13:09 Speaker 04 Are you like that? You got money like?
13:10 Speaker 06 I don't have money like that, but my dad does own part of Ohio.
13:14 Speaker 00 Looser.
13:14 Speaker 06 Yeah, Looser.
13:15 Speaker 04 Looser, Ohio.
13:16 Speaker 06 Looser, Ohio. He owns the city of Looser, Ohio. Yeah, Looser, Ohio.
13:20 Speaker 07 I would kill to have a daddy who owns the city.
13:22 Speaker 04 So hold on a minute. Tider owns Looser?
13:24 Speaker 06 Tider owns Looser.
13:25 Speaker 05 Tider owns Looser. Oh!
13:28 Speaker 06 I don't own a Tider. Tider's daddy, Looser owns Looser. He named after him.
13:31 Speaker 07 Tider owns Looser and Looser owns Looser and come on down to the food court. Huh?
13:35 Speaker 06 That's fun. Is that just improv? What is that?
13:38 Speaker 00 That was interesting.
13:39 Speaker 04 No, that's a song.
13:41 Speaker 06 That's a song they use? I've never heard that one.
13:43 Speaker 04 I've heard it a hundred times.
13:47 Speaker 07 I think so.
13:48 Speaker 05 It's crazy. Sometimes there's songs about all of us and you don't know when they're coming. But then you walk by the food court, you hear your own name and it is haunting.
13:56 Speaker 07 Well, there she goes walking by. She's hungover.
13:58 Speaker 04 That was another, that was another Dan Gumption thing.
14:00 Speaker 06 Dan Gumption, yeah.
14:01 Speaker 04 They write songs about the employees so they can hear them while they're walking around.
14:04 Speaker 07 Keep them awake.
14:05 Speaker 05 It's the best part about our community. I, I heard one the other day that was something to the effect, and this isn't verbatim, but it was something to the effect of, and this isn't like, you know, I'm not, it's not word for word, but just, it's not verbatim, but it's something to the effect of, there she, there she goes again, shocking, kids away. And then they love it too, and they say, hooray, hooray. So I just think that's really fun because at the end of the day. That wasn't word for word. That was paraphrasing and you know, it was really there.
14:32 Speaker 07 You paraphrase.
14:33 Speaker 04 Can I ask, was that word for word or?
14:35 Speaker 07 No, it was not.
14:37 Speaker 06 I would like to ask that now. Is it, was it word for word?
14:40 Speaker 05 What I just sang?
14:41 Speaker 06 Yeah.
14:41 Speaker 05 No, that, that not, not, not that.
14:42 Speaker 06 Okay. Cause I, I got confused because I've heard it, but it wasn't word for word.
14:45 Speaker 05 It wasn't word for word that time. Cause I sounded, it sounded pretty, pretty sure. I took a little creative liberty there, but I'm just.
14:51 Speaker 07 I think something can sound similar, but not be word for word.
14:53 Speaker 05 Right. And, and rhyming is so, so up for interpretation at the end of the day.
14:58 Speaker 06 Well, rhyming is notoriously up for interpretation.
15:01 Speaker 05 Rhyming is, well, I remember your big rhyme, the rhyme fight you two got into.
15:07 Speaker 06 Rhyme Fest, Rhyme Fight. Okay. So like April 15th is Rhyme Fest at Gumption Point.
15:14 Speaker 06 It's when all the blackberries are ripe. Um, and so we decide that like part of the Gumption Point history, you know, a lot of Gumption Point is based on like,
15:21 Speaker 05 This berry.
15:22 Speaker 06 Like kind of this area of Ohio and like the land. Um, and so like the blackberries are ripe and so we have Rhyme Fest. You pick the blackberries and whoever rhymes the best gets the best fest.
15:32 Speaker 05 Yes. Whoever, yeah. And then there's, there's, it's whoever rhymes the best. There are awards for who can rhyme the longest. The longest. Uh, uh, awards for most creative. Creative. And I remember you two were getting into a screaming match because one of you thought that fish rhymed with rest. Yeah.
15:51 Speaker 04 Yeah.
15:51 Speaker 07 And I will say.
15:53 Speaker 05 Here we go.
15:53 Speaker 06 Here we go.
15:54 Speaker 07 I will say.
15:55 Speaker 04 There we go.
15:57 Speaker 07 Fish wrist. That sounds like it rhymes.
16:00 Speaker 05 You have a speech impediment.
16:01 Speaker 04 Well, and I'm up the camp that you can make something sound like anything, right?
16:04 Speaker 06 Yeah.
16:05 Speaker 04 You can make words into words.
16:08 Speaker 04 That's what? I'm trying to help you out. You know what?
16:10 Speaker 07 He's trying to help you out.
16:12 Speaker 06 Introduce your camp.
16:14 Speaker 07 Introduce yourself.
16:15 Speaker 04 Hi, guys. Yeah, well, we talked about a lot of the lands here, right? We have Fishland.
16:20 Speaker 06 Fishery.
16:20 Speaker 04 Fishery. We got Batteryland. We got the food court. We got Ghostland. Boo! Yeah. We'll get into it. We'll get into it. I, of course, run a great, the great FBI conspiracy land. Yes. Where everyone is out to get you there.
16:46 Speaker 05 This is a fun land.
16:49 Speaker 06 It's filled with fun and dread.
16:50 Speaker 04 I am.
16:50 Speaker 05 It's filled with fun, filled with dread. There are numbers mysteriously everywhere. It's just kind of seemed to work together.
16:58 Speaker 07 This was his favorite land.
16:59 Speaker 06 He spent a lot of time developing this land.
17:01 Speaker 04 I'm the Dreadnought Inspector, and it's really fun. And I know everything about you, and I know what I'm gonna do to you, and I'm gonna take you away.
17:11 Speaker 07 But those staff members are working hard, y'all. They get your names, even the churro guy. They get your names before you come in, so then when you come up and he IDs your face and he goes, "Hello, Miranda, would you like a churro?" And then Miranda gets shaken in her boot.
17:25 Speaker 05 Have you ever seen Pluribus? It's very Pluribus.
17:28 Speaker 07 Very Pluribus.
17:29 Speaker 05 Very hello, Carol.
17:30 Speaker 04 Just to shout out the churro guys, because I love those guys. I love Vicente. I love Luis. I love Luisa. They're so fun. What's so interesting about those guys, they know the last time you ate a churro.
17:42 Speaker 06 Yeah.
17:42 Speaker 04 They've looked it up.
17:43 Speaker 07 And that's in the bonder, too. Yes.
17:46 Speaker 04 So they'll go, "Oh, it's the first churro in nine years. Are you excited?" And so what they want you to feel like, what Dan Gomshin wanted you to feel like was, "Everyone's out to get you. You are not safe. Everyone knows something about you. You're in trouble."
17:58 Speaker 07 But then how fun to go from that to Ghostland or to Batteryland.
18:03 Speaker 04 The Batteryland, the Fishery. He really understood the contrasts of life, right? It's like, you hit yourself.
18:08 Speaker 05 With a hammer because it feels so good when you stop.
18:10 Speaker 04 Exactly.
18:11 Speaker 05 It's so salty and the sweet. You are so right. I think this land is where you go for that contrast of life. And then so when you're, when you're done, you know, being frisked.
18:20 Speaker 04 Yeah.
18:21 Speaker 05 You know.
18:21 Speaker 07 Is that a saying? You hit yourself so hard with a hammer, it feels good when you stop?
18:26 Speaker 05 Yes, so I'm, it's not verbatim. It's not for word for word.
18:28 Speaker 07 It's not word for word?
18:29 Speaker 05 No, not, not what I just said, but it's something to the effect.
18:31 Speaker 07 Okay, if it's not word for word, what is it?
18:32 Speaker 05 It's something to the effect of, it's something to the effect of.
18:35 Speaker 07 So this is just a paraphrase of it?
18:36 Speaker 05 Right.
18:37 Speaker 07 Okay.
18:37 Speaker 05 Um, but at, but at the end.
18:38 Speaker 06 So what's the actual quote?
18:39 Speaker 05 Right. And so what, what, what I was saying is, well, I just don't know.

20:20 Speaker 05 What I was saying, though, before that was that it's, you know, you're being frisked down. You're maybe even naked. Sometimes maybe you have to cough twice.
20:27 Speaker 06 Yeah.
20:27 Speaker 05 And I know that happened to you.
20:28 Speaker 06 Oh, yeah.
20:28 Speaker 05 And but so but so when you leave, you're like, wow, this is really great because now I'm not being frisked and pat down and maybe even shocked.
20:36 Speaker 06 All the other lands seem a lot brighter.
20:38 Speaker 04 Yeah, and we had a lot of fun other lands, too. We got caught Candyland in Blurry World as well.
20:43 Speaker 06 I love Blurry World.
20:44 Speaker 07 Blurry World, Blurry World.
20:46 Speaker 04 The effects of Blurry World are amazing.
20:48 Speaker 05 They wanted to mimic the effect of a DMT dosage. Yes. Where it goes fast. And then as soon as you're out of Blurry World, you're like, whoa. Again, the contrast. Did Blurry World even happen?
21:00 Speaker 07 I always go, I take a shit in the bathrooms at Blurry World because no one uses those bathrooms.
21:04 Speaker 05 So what are you talking about now? It's scary to shit in Blurry World.
21:06 Speaker 07 They're the cleanest, the bathrooms at Blurry World.
21:08 Speaker 05 Oh, I've never been. I'm not allowed.
21:09 Speaker 06 Well, this is such an interesting thing about Gumption Point.
21:11 Speaker 05 You can't go in there. It's too disoriented for you to be there.
21:14 Speaker 07 Disoriented battery is scary.
21:16 Speaker 06 Oh, we don't want to.
21:17 Speaker 04 Well, we gotta know where the shock is at all times.
21:19 Speaker 05 Yes.
21:19 Speaker 04 You have to know.
21:20 Speaker 05 No, that's and then that's the amputee of 87.
21:23 Speaker 04 Right.
21:24 Speaker 06 Oh, no.
21:25 Speaker 04 And he named himself that.
21:27 Speaker 05 He named himself that. He named himself that.
21:30 Speaker 07 And he said it in court. You said it in the press?
21:33 Speaker 04 He sold shirts. I mean, look, he was proud of it. He owned it.
21:36 Speaker 05 He profited. It's his. It's his.
21:38 Speaker 04 He said, nothing is ever a mistake in his life. He was one of those guys with that great attitude.
21:42 Speaker 05 Yeah.
21:42 Speaker 04 And he owned it. He sued, but he owned it.
21:46 Speaker 06 He sued, but he owned it. He sued to own it.
21:49 Speaker 05 He sued to own it more.
21:50 Speaker 07 He sued to own it.
21:51 Speaker 04 To own it.
21:52 Speaker 05 Exactly.
21:53 Speaker 06 One of my favorite lands that like, not a lot of people talk about, where we end up spending a lot of time in is, I'm in my 60s. Let's get into gardening land. Like, that's like one of my favorite.
22:01 Speaker 05 I love that land.
22:02 Speaker 06 You can kind of see.
22:03 Speaker 07 They got breakfast tacos.
22:05 Speaker 06 They got breakfast talk. That's the only place in the park to get breakfast.
22:08 Speaker 00 Blue plate.
22:09 Speaker 06 Blue plate.
22:09 Speaker 00 Right.
22:10 Speaker 06 Yeah.
22:10 Speaker 05 And there's a part in that, in that land where you can shout to your off-screen husband in the house, Herb. So it, and you, you can shout Herb and you almost hear someone coming out going, what?
22:26 Speaker 06 Almost.
22:27 Speaker 05 Almost.
22:28 Speaker 04 You can almost hear it.
22:29 Speaker 05 You can feel the feeling of almost hearing something. You can't get that anywhere else.
22:34 Speaker 04 And guys, I know I've seen a lot of hacks online. There is no Herb. That's a sound effect and it's almost a sound effect. So, so there's nobody behind the scenes. There's nothing going on over there.
22:44 Speaker 06 We don't cast a Herb.
22:46 Speaker 04 We don't cast a Herb because historically Herb didn't exist.
22:48 Speaker 06 Yes.
22:49 Speaker 04 Dan Gumption got into a relationship with a man that left him and he would garden every day hoping he may come back. Yeah.
22:58 Speaker 05 But he was a man.
22:59 Speaker 04 Yeah.
23:01 Speaker 05 It's curious.
23:02 Speaker 04 You know.
23:03 Speaker 00 A tally, Talladega.
23:05 Speaker 06 Tally.
23:06 Speaker 04 So, so men can love men sometimes.
23:08 Speaker 06 I've been trying to explain this to her like a lot, like.
23:11 Speaker 05 I don't get it.
23:12 Speaker 04 She does, does she not understand?
23:14 Speaker 06 It's not, it's not filled with hate. It's filled with confusion.
23:17 Speaker 00 I'm just confused.
23:18 Speaker 04 She's confused. No, I don't feel like there's any hatred.
23:21 Speaker 00 They were friends though, huh?
23:22 Speaker 06 Well, they were, but they were.
23:23 Speaker 04 They cast and they made love and stuff.
23:24 Speaker 05 So sometimes there are two men can be more than friends, right?
23:28 Speaker 06 Well, I think guys.
23:29 Speaker 05 I'm saying I'm confused.
23:30 Speaker 06 You guys know Tally's, Tally's homeschool.
23:32 Speaker 00 Dung out like that.
23:33 Speaker 05 We, we know Tally's homeschool. Okay. Okay, she's kind of interesting.
23:39 Speaker 04 I'm gonna do a hail Mary. Tally, have you seen?
23:41 Speaker 00 Does it have a name if you like another man?
23:43 Speaker 04 Tally, have you seen?
23:44 Speaker 00 I like men.
23:45 Speaker 04 Have you seen Modern Family?
23:48 Speaker 00 I'm not allowed to watch television.
23:49 Speaker 05 Oh, shoot.
23:50 Speaker 06 Her parents are strict in a.
23:52 Speaker 04 What's the most well-known gay thing?
23:54 Speaker 05 Who, shoot. Have you seen The Producers? No, that's, that's scary.
23:59 Speaker 04 I don't know about that.
24:01 Speaker 05 Fifteen, can't watch Modern Family.
24:03 Speaker 07 Oh, Timon and Pumba.
24:05 Speaker 00 Yes, like Sesame Street, Bert and Ernie, they were special friends.
24:07 Speaker 06 Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:09 Speaker 05 Yes, exactly.
24:10 Speaker 00 They never kissed, so I don't remember.
24:12 Speaker 05 It was sort of implied that they might.
24:14 Speaker 04 But imagine if they did, and then these, so two men can if they want to.
24:19 Speaker 00 So if they wanted to, they could, huh?
24:20 Speaker 04 Yeah.
24:21 Speaker 07 There you go, confusion gone.
24:23 Speaker 00 But if so, I wanted to kiss a man, I could too, huh?
24:25 Speaker 04 Yeah, that would be the same, it would be straight, but.
24:28 Speaker 00 So I'm get, so.
24:29 Speaker 07 No, so tally, tally, here's confusion and knows no bounds.
24:34 Speaker 04 I'm wondering if the shocks are going in.
24:37 Speaker 06 Do you receive a little shock back?
24:38 Speaker 04 I can't believe it's on the forehead, that's the prefrontal cortex. That's bad.
24:42 Speaker 07 Because it does feel like you know the park so well, but when there's a new development, new information feels like it gets, it's hard for you.
24:49 Speaker 00 Well, I don't have a pituitary gland.
24:51 Speaker 04 Oh, I don't know if that applies.
24:55 Speaker 05 So you, so you were permanently locked in as a child brain, right? The pituitary blank.
25:00 Speaker 06 Well, she's fifteen, so she.
25:02 Speaker 05 Okay.
25:03 Speaker 07 I just think you shouldn't be getting shocked, baby. I think you should, you should come on and you should play food core monster or something. I think you should take a break because I do think the shock factor.
25:12 Speaker 00 I'm just not allowed in any other section of the park, unfortunately.
25:15 Speaker 06 Oh, no.
25:15 Speaker 04 It is a liability.
25:16 Speaker 06 Well, yeah, I always try to come visit you in your section of the park.
25:19 Speaker 00 Because I have to be ground at all times, and the only land that has rubber floors is the land that I am in.
25:23 Speaker 06 Right, because if you step on actual ground, you get electrocuted.
25:26 Speaker 00 I could very well pass away.
25:27 Speaker 06 You get all the shock, yeah.
25:28 Speaker 05 Well, there was that one day that you saved the day.
25:31 Speaker 00 Yes.
25:31 Speaker 05 Our entire park, we lost power.
25:34 Speaker 04 Yeah, that was crazy.
25:35 Speaker 05 And you hooked yourself up.
25:37 Speaker 06 Hooked your head in.
25:38 Speaker 05 You plugged your head.
25:39 Speaker 07 Plugged your head in like a bus plug.
25:41 Speaker 05 Into the circuit breaker, and you jolted the entire park awake.
25:46 Speaker 07 Yes, you stuck your head right in there like a dang officer of the law.
25:50 Speaker 00 Yes.
25:51 Speaker 04 Yeah, you saved.
25:52 Speaker 06 Like a dang officer of the law.
25:53 Speaker 04 They were, they were doing the magic show, the great Docso was doing the magic show.
25:56 Speaker 06 Oh, the great Docso, I, his magic, sometimes I am truly fooled.
26:00 Speaker 04 It's crazy, when he, he picks a random person and shows pictures of them from government surveillance, it's crazy. You never know where he's gonna come from.
26:08 Speaker 06 He like reveals their credit card information.
26:09 Speaker 04 Yes, it's everyone, no. Number by number, sixteen numbers in a row. It's awesome and he saved the show.
26:15 Speaker 06 It's so crazy.
26:16 Speaker 05 Thank you.
26:16 Speaker 04 I did wanna bring up, you know, the behind the scenes look. I know what you're thinking. Sounds like you're living a fairy tale. Sounds like all of us are living an absolute dream life. And in many ways we are, but there are some not so glamorous sides of the theme park world. And, you know, I always walk and I go, this could be a sitcom.
26:34 Speaker 06 Literally.
26:35 Speaker 04 This could be a sitcom.
26:35 Speaker 06 You've been trying to get that sitcom off the ground.
26:37 Speaker 04 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:38 Speaker 06 You got that funding, though, from that guy.
26:40 Speaker 04 I did. Uh, that was for my knee surgery.
26:43 Speaker 06 Oh.
26:43 Speaker 05 Oh, shoot.
26:45 Speaker 07 You got funding from, from a guy?
26:47 Speaker 04 Yeah, so this guy gave me fifty thousand dollars to fix my knee.
26:50 Speaker 06 Was he just pissed? He, I, I remember that day. He was so upset at you for, for having knee problems.
26:56 Speaker 04 He was intrusive. He just like, you gotta fix that knee. I don't have an issue with my knee. And I still don't. I mean, it's fine. It's weird. That guy was weird, but.
27:03 Speaker 07 But I'd say, yeah, our, our park has a lot of weird stuff. It's got some hidden mickeys. It does have the hidden trampolines.
27:09 Speaker 04 Yeah.
27:09 Speaker 07 And they're weird, right? When you're walking, if you don't know where they're coming from.
27:13 Speaker 05 To be greeted with a surprise trampoline.
27:17 Speaker 04 Yeah.
27:17 Speaker 05 It's a crazy experience.
27:19 Speaker 04 Everyone always asks, how many hidden trampolines are there? Four hundred and fifty.
27:23 Speaker 07 And also to the people that are trying to spread their families, if you have a loved one and you're spreading their ashes, people come to Gumption Point and they wanna do that. And they're trying to find the trampolines to do that at.
27:34 Speaker 04 Yeah.
27:35 Speaker 07 Stop it, you freak.
27:37 Speaker 04 Sorry, we need to address this. There's only twenty-five trampolines you can do that on at Gumption Point.
27:41 Speaker 05 Yes.
27:42 Speaker 04 Don't do it on the other ones, you're not allowed to do it on.
27:44 Speaker 06 Well, cause what happens is somebody will step, bounce, bunts of somebody's ashes in their face.
27:48 Speaker 05 You need to specifically hit the trampolines that have a vacuum underneath. Yes. That suck up the ashes and make them go where they're supposed to go.
27:57 Speaker 07 If you look closely, there's a yellow line.
27:59 Speaker 05 They're marked.
28:00 Speaker 07 They are ash safe zone.
28:02 Speaker 04 Yeah, absolutely.
28:02 Speaker 05 Yes.
28:03 Speaker 04 Ash free.
28:04 Speaker 05 Yes.
28:05 Speaker 06 A lot of people, you know, always messaging me, you guys like, must like, go crazy when the park closes. Um, like, so I thought it'd be fun to like, kinda talk about, you know, like, kinda like, I don't know.
28:14 Speaker 07 After hours, Gumption.
28:16 Speaker 06 Gumption after dark.
28:17 Speaker 07 Okay, I'll say it. We have stickers on our lockers.
28:20 Speaker 06 We have stickers on our, it's, it's.
28:23 Speaker 07 We got stickers on our lockers.
28:24 Speaker 04 I bet you don't look at us the same way now, but you know, we got stickers on our lockers.
28:27 Speaker 05 And one day, one day, when, if I ever leave the park, I think that maybe I'll get a place of my own.
28:32 Speaker 04 That's crazy.
28:32 Speaker 05 That's an after dark thought.
28:34 Speaker 00 Yes.
28:34 Speaker 05 Okay, hashtag gumption after dark.
28:37 Speaker 06 Okay, hashtag gumption after dark. We're sharing the dirty details.
28:40 Speaker 04 We are doing a gumption after dark 1K, so you guys gotta come out.
28:44 Speaker 00 What's that?
28:45 Speaker 04 A 1K. It's like a 5K, but it's a lot, lot shorter. The park is 1K.
28:49 Speaker 06 You run 600 feet.
28:52 Speaker 07 I'm saying a...
28:55 Speaker 07 It's a sprint.
28:56 Speaker 00 It's a sprint.
28:58 Speaker 07 I'll say a gumption after dark thought. I, I, I need water and I wish I had some during the day.
29:03 Speaker 04 Yeah.
29:04 Speaker 05 Yes, that's a good thought.
29:05 Speaker 07 I wish they had water.
29:07 Speaker 05 I have a gumption after dark thought and it's that I have started smelling weed.
29:15 Speaker 04 Where?
29:16 Speaker 07 Where?
29:17 Speaker 04 Oh my, where?
29:18 Speaker 06 Oh my, oh my.
29:20 Speaker 05 I have started smelling...
29:21 Speaker 07 Are you smoking it, Mama Bear?
29:22 Speaker 05 I am smoking it.
29:23 Speaker 00 You can't smoke weed.
29:24 Speaker 05 I am, you can.
29:26 Speaker 00 No, we put the pesticides down. They shouldn't be growing.
29:29 Speaker 06 No, no, um, so...
29:30 Speaker 05 Oh, so, oh, so, so this is actually...
29:32 Speaker 06 I can't tell if this is a 15 or a brain thing.
29:34 Speaker 07 It's one or the other.
29:36 Speaker 05 I know, I know.
29:36 Speaker 06 I think by 15 you should know what weed is.
29:38 Speaker 05 Should I be talking to her like brain damage or should I be talking to her like kid?
29:41 Speaker 00 I'm 27.
29:41 Speaker 06 You're 27?
29:42 Speaker 07 Oh, she's changing her age.
29:44 Speaker 06 She's changing her age.
29:44 Speaker 05 It's brain, it's brain.
29:45 Speaker 06 It's brain, it's brain.
29:46 Speaker 05 So, so...
29:47 Speaker 07 And I love you all the same.
29:49 Speaker 05 So this is no peer pressure.
29:51 Speaker 06 Did that help or hurt?
29:52 Speaker 00 Yes, I know that felt great.
29:54 Speaker 04 Oh, it just felt...
29:55 Speaker 05 Awesome.
29:55 Speaker 04 Sort of sensational thing.
29:57 Speaker 07 So it just felt good, that's not good.
29:58 Speaker 06 She likes it now. She likes the feeling.
30:01 Speaker 05 So if you like that feeling, weed is sort of a medicinal plant that...
30:06 Speaker 06 I don't think we need to explain it to her.
30:07 Speaker 00 I've, I've, I've done, um, I've done, um, pesticides before.
30:13 Speaker 04 You what?
30:13 Speaker 05 You've done pesticides?
30:15 Speaker 04 You've done them?
30:16 Speaker 06 God, pesticide Larry's giving her the pesticides.
30:19 Speaker 05 Oh no.
30:20 Speaker 07 That was supposed to be a Halloween thing for a week.
30:24 Speaker 04 Yeah.
30:25 Speaker 07 And he can't get out.
30:26 Speaker 04 Eradication world.
30:27 Speaker 06 Eradication world.
30:28 Speaker 04 Turn the whole thing into eradication world.
30:30 Speaker 07 Mama Bear, I can't believe you smoke weed.
30:31 Speaker 04 Well, she smells weed. Can I ask, do you, do you light the joint and sit it down or do you let other people smoke and you kind of hang around?
30:39 Speaker 06 Or you walk by a kind of locker room going? Now that's funky.
30:42 Speaker 05 Right, I did well. I said, and I said what I meant. I smell weed. I am smelling it currently.
30:49 Speaker 06 Are you addicted?
30:50 Speaker 05 I am addicted to the smell of weed.
30:53 Speaker 06 I think that means you're getting high. If you are smelling weed. I don't know.
30:57 Speaker 04 If it's close enough, yes.
30:58 Speaker 05 I'm not smoking it, I'm smelling, I'm smelling it and I feel good after.
31:03 Speaker 06 So how close is it to when you're, when you, when you're smelling it?
31:06 Speaker 05 I'm sitting next to a little diffuser situation.
31:10 Speaker 06 Oh, it's a diffuser?
31:11 Speaker 04 It's the scent of weed.
31:12 Speaker 06 It's just the scent of weed?
31:14 Speaker 05 So, my cousin knows more about this than I do.
31:17 Speaker 07 I'll ask your cousin.
31:18 Speaker 06 Don't worry, I really appreciate it.
31:20 Speaker 07 We'll ask your cousin.
31:24 Speaker 06 All right, Mama Bear, we'll just clear it up.
31:26 Speaker 04 Hi, Mama Bear.
31:27 Speaker 06 All good, Mama Bear. We'll ask your cousin. That's all good. Clear it up with her.
31:33 Speaker 05 She knows so much. She'll come to pick me up, she'll explain all about it. It's this really fun thing, shaped like a tube, and then there's stuff coming out. I don't know.
31:43 Speaker 07 I would never want to be high at Gumption Point because, because of the, um, the FBI looking out for you. All of the scary, scaries of the shocking. I mean, there's so many scary things. That's what makes our, it makes our park so popular for. Hollow Week.
31:56 Speaker 06 Hollow Week.
31:57 Speaker 07 We have.
31:58 Speaker 06 Hollow Week.
31:59 Speaker 05 Gumption Point.
32:00 Speaker 07 You're weak.
32:02 Speaker 04 Well, I think what's hard is, so much of the park is hard if you're high. Blurry World is awesome.
32:07 Speaker 06 So I think. Blurry World gets really, really actually distinct.
32:11 Speaker 04 Blurry World is really good.
32:12 Speaker 07 You're stoned as ever, you're walking in Blurry World, you accidentally land on a trampoline with ashes on it. It's stuck in your face, then you fall down, run into a 15-year-old with brain damage. And then you're at Food Court Land. I mean, come on.
32:26 Speaker 06 What a day, that's awesome.
32:27 Speaker 05 It's awesome. No, I smelled weed before going into Blurry World one time. It's good.
32:32 Speaker 06 The worst place to be high is the FBI.
32:34 Speaker 04 It's a bad one.
32:35 Speaker 06 Yeah.
32:35 Speaker 05 It's bad.
32:36 Speaker 06 All those paranoias come through, and half of your job is to go, are you high?
32:39 Speaker 04 I do that a lot. I know you're high. We all know you're high. We all see what you're doing.
32:44 Speaker 07 You scream like nightmare, nightmare, nightmare.
32:45 Speaker 04 Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's a kind of like a Wild West town, um, where we have one of those showdown shows. But it's me, the FBI, and then there's somebody that is fully, fully in a mirror outfit so that it looks like you are being shot.
33:02 Speaker 07 But my favorite part, we should talk about the changes that happened during Halloween because FBI land is all the same, except they're on stilts.
33:09 Speaker 06 Yeah.
33:10 Speaker 07 So if people go, you're high.
33:12 Speaker 04 Yeah.
33:12 Speaker 07 You're high, you're high, and I can see you. You're being weird right now. You're being weird. It's spooky.
33:18 Speaker 04 When the fishery, we pump in stinky smells, rotten fish everywhere.
33:21 Speaker 06 It's just, it's, it's all oral factory.
33:24 Speaker 04 Yeah. Oral factory.
33:26 Speaker 07 Oral factory.
33:27 Speaker 04 He shoots fish in your mouth.
33:29 Speaker 06 And I end up smelly every day. It's a walking nightmare. No matter how much I scrub, I still smell like fish.
33:36 Speaker 04 And then the gumption ghost, I mean, that's kind of fishy.
33:40 Speaker 07 She just kind of wears a tie.
33:42 Speaker 05 I wear a tie for Halloween because it's formal. It's my day. You know what I mean? I turn into Bridezilla on Halloween.
33:51 Speaker 04 You do. You're a different person.
33:53 Speaker 05 I have to apologize for Halloween, Mama Bear, because she is nasty.
33:59 Speaker 06 Yeah.
33:59 Speaker 07 I love when the batteries become pumpkin pie and you get shocked.
34:02 Speaker 00 Yes. Well, one, one day, and this is not, you know, your fault, but I, I did get in a little bit of trouble and you did unplug me for two weeks.
34:10 Speaker 06 Yes.
34:10 Speaker 04 You did that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
34:12 Speaker 06 Well, you got in trouble.
34:13 Speaker 07 Mama Bear's saying too much weed.
34:15 Speaker 04 We should address this drama.
34:16 Speaker 05 I want to apologize to you right now.
34:19 Speaker 00 No, and it's completely my fault and you made it very obvious that it was such because I was talking out of place and I should not have done that.
34:24 Speaker 05 Look, that is Halloween Bridezilla talking. I, as your friend right now, I would never unplug you, honey, and I'm so sorry.
34:32 Speaker 00 You like hid the charging dock. I was kind of like a Roomba without a home.
34:36 Speaker 05 And I mailed it to someone else and then I made you solve a series of riddles to go solve it. It wasn't nice. And I wasn't being a girl's girl at that time, so I just want to say I'm sorry.
34:47 Speaker 00 Yes, because girls on girl. Oh, sorry. Girls support girls.
34:50 Speaker 06 Well, that's Girls on Girl World. Dan Gumption, in his seventies, kind of became a pervert and made Girls on Girl World.
34:57 Speaker 04 Well, not a lot of people know this. Dan Gumption actually is, weirdly, ipso facto, responsible for the invention of lube.
35:05 Speaker 04 And people didn't know that.
35:08 Speaker 06 Walk us down how he did that.
35:10 Speaker 04 It was, it's one of those things where he was, he said, there's gotta be a way to make this better. And everyone said, don't put that in me.
35:17 Speaker 05 It's gotta, there's gotta be a way to make this better. I mean, to be honest, it's sort of, he was listening to women, right?
35:24 Speaker 00 I think it stems somewhat from your show because you had a hard time slipping out of the tin can. And he was saying, oh, you know, what could we do to help you? And he went through different types of oils and then.
35:34 Speaker 07 And he took that home and said, can I do that with my dick?
35:36 Speaker 00 Yeah, right. And then.
35:38 Speaker 05 Lube came from sardines first.
35:41 Speaker 07 Right.
35:41 Speaker 04 Yeah.
35:41 Speaker 06 It's what we, it's what we say. In the fishery, I kind of have to say, well, lube came from sardines first. And everybody kind of gets grossed out. I don't have a lot of people coming to the fishery.
35:51 Speaker 04 It's you, I would say you're the least populated land.
35:54 Speaker 06 Very smelly.
35:55 Speaker 04 Yeah.
35:55 Speaker 06 And I'm left with these animatronic things that I believe are coming alive.
35:58 Speaker 04 You're kind of the Toontown of the Gumption world. What's that about? The animatronics?
36:03 Speaker 06 Oh, nothing. Just sometimes, sometimes I'm left there smelling my own smell for hours and hours and hours, all alone. And sometimes the animatronics, I do believe, move on their own. The trout one time said something to me that I will never forget and I cannot repeat.
36:19 Speaker 05 What'd he say?
36:20 Speaker 06 I cannot repeat.
36:21 Speaker 00 It's too political.
36:22 Speaker 06 It's too political.
36:23 Speaker 07 We'll ask your cousin. We'll ask your cousin.
36:25 Speaker 06 It is too political.
36:26 Speaker 04 It's not your cousin.
36:27 Speaker 05 My cousin knows. My cousin knows. He knows all this stuff.
36:29 Speaker 04 Talk to your cousin about that. Okay.
36:31 Speaker 06 I did tell her cousin.

38:14 Speaker 06 What a good guy. He's too political. They're different cousins.
38:20 Speaker 04 I do have a gumption after dark thought. I was thinking about that myself. I, uh, well, this is kind of scary, but I, I am.
38:30 Speaker 04 I haven't said it yet.
38:32 Speaker 05 No, I'm just getting ready.
38:33 Speaker 04 She's just being a ghost. I, I, I'm nervous about park closures. And I, I, I saw some stuff about maybe some layoffs and they might be closing a land.
38:45 Speaker 06 What?
38:46 Speaker 07 What land would they close?
38:47 Speaker 06 It couldn't be the fishery.
38:50 Speaker 04 I couldn't have been. I don't know.
38:51 Speaker 06 No.
38:52 Speaker 05 It couldn't be ghost land. It couldn't be blurry land.
38:56 Speaker 07 Hold on, hold on.
38:56 Speaker 06 That couldn't be.
38:57 Speaker 04 Well, I'll tell you the land. And I think you guys, you guys are going to be okay. It's old Korea land.
39:03 Speaker 05 Old?
39:04 Speaker 00 I don't think I can be okay with that. Right, guys?
39:07 Speaker 07 We can't be okay with them closing it?
39:08 Speaker 00 No, I just think we should stand up for that park, I think.
39:11 Speaker 04 Korea?
39:11 Speaker 00 It would just feel weird if we were all excited. About old Korea closing, right, guys?
39:17 Speaker 04 It's, to me, I'm a little, it's a little tricky. Do I support old, the idea of old Korea?
39:24 Speaker 06 Yeah.
39:25 Speaker 04 Which is obviously an outdated and offensive version of Korea.
39:28 Speaker 05 Which is a, a pre-war.
39:30 Speaker 04 Yeah, pre-war, pre-Korean War celebration of Korea.
39:34 Speaker 07 Support culture appropriation in a theme park.
39:37 Speaker 04 Dan Gumption's idea of Korea based on a book he read. The book was Gone with the Wind. Don't know how that made sense.
39:46 Speaker 07 So it's tricky.
39:47 Speaker 04 It's antebellum Korea.
39:51 Speaker 05 It's really actually quite, it's quite tricky for us as actors to navigate.
39:56 Speaker 07 I love that. You see both sides of it and your brain is fried. Don't understand why people.
40:01 Speaker 04 But we're gonna end up firing so many of our Korean actors.
40:04 Speaker 06 Yeah, that's the hard part.
40:05 Speaker 00 That's the hard part is what I have, is what I was gonna say before you is that I think politically I'm not okay with forloughing people who deserve a job.
40:14 Speaker 04 Yeah, we are gonna furlough them.
40:18 Speaker 06 It could be that they get hired again.
40:20 Speaker 04 It could be a furlough. They're gonna be using a classic furlough for this.
40:24 Speaker 05 This park loves to furlough.
40:26 Speaker 04 It's kind to furlough them.
40:27 Speaker 07 Of course they're gonna get furloughed.
40:29 Speaker 05 You guys, well, we've all been furloughed at times, yes.
40:32 Speaker 04 Gumption loves to furlough.
40:34 Speaker 07 That's when I get eaten all the clam chowder bowls too much. They just said, we're gonna furlough you.
40:38 Speaker 00 Yes. So much so, I'm back here on a volunteer basis.
40:41 Speaker 04 Yeah.
40:42 Speaker 05 What's your guys' favorite furlough activity? I memorized all the world's capitals.
40:47 Speaker 04 Oh, that's fun.
40:48 Speaker 05 It's fun.
40:49 Speaker 04 I tried every snickerdoodle in town.
40:52 Speaker 06 Are there a lot?
40:54 Speaker 04 No, I did it in a day. You know, I was only furloughed for a day.
40:58 Speaker 07 I made leather.
41:00 Speaker 04 You tanned leather?
41:02 Speaker 05 That's quite hard.
41:03 Speaker 06 How'd you do that?
41:04 Speaker 04 Do you already have the hide?
41:05 Speaker 07 There's a lot of things you don't know about bubbles.
41:08 Speaker 05 Bubbles.
41:09 Speaker 07 How'd you come up with the laugh?
41:10 Speaker 00 That laugh is interesting.
41:12 Speaker 07 What?
41:12 Speaker 04 How'd you come up with the laugh?
41:13 Speaker 06 How did you come up with the laugh?
41:14 Speaker 07 No one comes up with their laugh.
41:16 Speaker 00 Were you born this way?
41:17 Speaker 07 Yeah. No one comes up with their laugh.
41:19 Speaker 06 I will say, I do feel like some people come up with their laugh.
41:22 Speaker 04 Yeah.
41:22 Speaker 07 Who do you think does that?
41:23 Speaker 00 I feel like maybe you even know, maybe.
41:27 Speaker 04 Sorry, did you say bikers?
41:28 Speaker 05 I said fakers.
41:29 Speaker 07 Do bikers come up with their laugh?
41:31 Speaker 00 Bikers do come up with their laughs notoriously.
41:33 Speaker 05 Yeah, well.
41:34 Speaker 07 Did you open some weed somewhere? Cause I feel like I'm smelling it and I'm getting high.
41:38 Speaker 04 Are you smelling weed?
41:39 Speaker 05 I'm smelling a little bit.
41:40 Speaker 04 Not how weed works, especially not from a diffuser.
41:44 Speaker 04 If you use merely the scent.
41:46 Speaker 07 What's your favorite for low activity?
41:48 Speaker 00 Um, I memorized, uh, the to be or not to be monologue from Shakespeare.
41:52 Speaker 04 Do it.
41:53 Speaker 07 From Shakespeare?
41:54 Speaker 00 Oh. What did you do?
42:02 Speaker 06 I got into windsurfing.
42:04 Speaker 04 Awesome.
42:05 Speaker 06 Yes, it's really.
42:06 Speaker 00 Interesting.
42:06 Speaker 06 Yeah, really fun.
42:07 Speaker 04 Did you go to that indoor center here in the middle of Ohio?
42:09 Speaker 06 They have an indoor windsurfing center. It's awesome.
42:12 Speaker 07 It's behind the color me mind.
42:14 Speaker 06 The, the fail compilations that that place is producing is insane.
42:19 Speaker 07 Air keeping fail on the line.
42:21 Speaker 06 Water on the ground, wind in the air. It is both skydiving and surfing.
42:25 Speaker 05 You and fail.
42:28 Speaker 06 Blowing wind at these people with a windsurf who've never done.
42:31 Speaker 04 I feel like, I do feel like I'm in some sort of surrealist inception like thing when I go there because they're doing it at the same time. There's somebody windsurfing next to somebody midair skydiving. And I'm like, where are we? Are we in air or wind or water?
42:44 Speaker 06 They cannot figure it. It's so fun. Um, I love it so much. It's amazing. And, uh, yeah, it was one of my favorite for low activities.
42:50 Speaker 07 All right, we talked about whole week. Now let's talk about Christmas time at Gumshimpoli.
42:54 Speaker 00 Christmas.
42:55 Speaker 06 Really fun. We don't do a lot, actually.
42:57 Speaker 07 It's kind of the same.
42:58 Speaker 05 Well, it's, I mean, it is nine volts time to shine.
43:03 Speaker 06 Because it was Dan's most fearful time was Christmas.
43:06 Speaker 00 It was Christmas.
43:07 Speaker 06 So scared. It was, it was very down, I would say, in this ups and downs.
43:11 Speaker 00 And so I think it, it sort of stemmed from, well, a variety of things, of course, but not to, to waste time here. It was, it stemmed from wanting to bring light to the world. And I think, um.
43:22 Speaker 07 That is word for word.
43:24 Speaker 04 That's word for word.
43:25 Speaker 00 Thank you so much for saying that. And I also think that when, right. And so, right. And so, thank you. And so what I was going to say is that, um, we were going to go with just a light show, you know, where we all dance around and do lights. And such, but we said, well, why don't we get to the root of the light? Why, why don't we get to the root of the source of the light? And I know you know this well, as my partner in crime.
43:47 Speaker 06 Stop.
43:47 Speaker 07 Flathead.
43:49 Speaker 06 Yeah, we are partners in crime.
43:51 Speaker 00 And so instead of just, instead of the, excuse me.
43:56 Speaker 07 All right.
43:56 Speaker 00 Instead of the.
43:58 Speaker 06 Can you not? My partner is talking.
44:00 Speaker 00 Excuse me.
44:00 Speaker 06 My partner in crime is talking.
44:02 Speaker 00 Instead of just the.
44:04 Speaker 07 Uh oh.
44:04 Speaker 00 Excuse me.
44:05 Speaker 07 Uh oh, she's coming up with a new laugh.
44:07 Speaker 00 Instead of just the. Instead of just the housing of the light, be the light.
44:12 Speaker 04 That's awesome.
44:13 Speaker 06 You're so special with words.
44:14 Speaker 04 So essentially what it looks like is you plug in an exposed Tesla coil. You Bluetooth an exposed Tesla coil on top of an inverted Christmas tree that is not decorated.
44:25 Speaker 00 And that's how the Germans do it.
44:26 Speaker 04 Yeah, yeah.
44:27 Speaker 00 And I try to take inspiration from them anytime I can.
44:29 Speaker 06 Well, yeah, because old German world.
44:32 Speaker 00 And that has since been.
44:33 Speaker 04 Old German world, yeah.
44:34 Speaker 06 Yeah, we lost that.
44:35 Speaker 07 We lost that.
44:37 Speaker 00 They lost it.
44:38 Speaker 06 They lost it. We lost it.
44:39 Speaker 00 They lost it.
44:39 Speaker 06 It's pre, pre World War One, Germany. It's, it's Prussia vibes.
44:43 Speaker 04 Yeah, it's Prussia vibes.
44:44 Speaker 06 It's Prussia vibes, you know?
44:45 Speaker 04 I would also say, one of my favorite things is to celebrate, you know, Dan Gumption's Christmas, they replace all the food vendors in the park with day old leftovers.
44:54 Speaker 00 Yes.
44:55 Speaker 04 And you can get them anywhere.
44:56 Speaker 07 And you could drop them off. If you want your mama's cooking.
45:00 Speaker 00 Yes.
45:01 Speaker 07 At Gumption Point, you could drop.
45:02 Speaker 00 It's like a Salvation Army of.
45:04 Speaker 04 Yeah, yeah, yeah. We will take your day old food and we will sell it for $40 a container.
45:09 Speaker 00 We love an upcharge.
45:10 Speaker 07 And we all get in line in the microwave and I'm, I'm standing on the microwave.
45:14 Speaker 00 And there's one microwave too.
45:15 Speaker 07 I'm a Hooters girl.
45:16 Speaker 00 There's only one.
45:16 Speaker 04 I mean, it's so funny. I microwave like a Hooters girl.
45:19 Speaker 07 When you dance like a Hooters girl, I'll stand up.
45:22 Speaker 04 She was like a Hooters girl.
45:25 Speaker 04 You guys know the way Hooters girls dance?
45:27 Speaker 00 Yes.
45:28 Speaker 07 And I go, I'm standing on the microwave like a Hooters girl.
45:31 Speaker 06 The food court monster comes alive that day.
45:33 Speaker 04 It's really fun.
45:34 Speaker 07 It is fun.
45:35 Speaker 04 Can I ask about super fans? You know, we have these people, the world of social media. We love you guys. Thank you for coming to support Gumption Point.
45:43 Speaker 06 Thank you so much.
45:44 Speaker 07 Thanks to the gum heads.
45:45 Speaker 04 Thanks to the gum heads.
45:47 Speaker 06 Gum feed is some, sometimes people read that online, gum feed.
45:50 Speaker 07 They're trying to find herb. They're trying to find the. FBI.
45:54 Speaker 04 Well, they're trying to grill, they're trying, they've gotten so comfortable with us as characters and they come up filming TikToks.
46:01 Speaker 06 Yeah.
46:01 Speaker 04 And they start asking us things, they start trying to force that they have a relationship with us.
46:06 Speaker 00 Yeah, it's parasocial.
46:07 Speaker 04 It's parasocial, it's a little weird.
46:09 Speaker 00 I have, I have people that, that actually make their own cosplays, it's almost like a gumption bound, where they, they dress as a watch battery. And to me, that's, that's
46:18 Speaker 07 That's not the same.
46:18 Speaker 00 And it's not the same, and, and to me, it's like, who are you trying to be?
46:22 Speaker 04 Yeah, it's really weird. And, and again, we are very pro gumption bounding, we've said this before, just not blurry worlds. You can't come blurry.
46:30 Speaker 00 You can't come blurry.
46:31 Speaker 07 You can't come blurry.
46:32 Speaker 04 Don't come blurry.
46:33 Speaker 06 It's confusing, please.
46:34 Speaker 07 I don't, I don't even care if it's your kid in a stroller, he cannot come blurry.
46:38 Speaker 06 It's amazing what you are able to do, but please do not come blurry.
46:41 Speaker 04 It's amazing you've done that. We wish we could do that at our park.
46:45 Speaker 00 I would even go as far as to say, I would say even just don't come, is what I would try to say to the people.
46:50 Speaker 06 If you think it come blurry, don't come.
46:51 Speaker 00 Don't come.
46:52 Speaker 07 If you want to be a part of blurry world, we have auditions, open call once a year.
46:56 Speaker 05 Oh, and the blurry cast is wild. We don't talk to them.
47:00 Speaker 04 Well, you also, you, you know it's blurry auditions, because you can't find a fucking spot in the parking lot, and nobody's parked in a normal spot. They're all, it's crazy.
47:10 Speaker 07 It looks like when those Waymos all powered off, and you're like, oh my god.
47:15 Speaker 04 What the hell?
47:15 Speaker 07 Look at that.
47:16 Speaker 05 You know it's auditions for blurry world when you go in the break room and the coffee's turned upside down, the cocks are all out.
47:22 Speaker 06 There's a huge ketamine issue in blurry world, there's a huge ketamine.
47:26 Speaker 07 It has nothing to do with Mr. Uh, G- Gumption.
47:29 Speaker 06 No, yeah.
47:30 Speaker 04 No, that, no, no, no, no, that was his wife.
47:32 Speaker 07 That was his wife had the problem with ketamine.
47:34 Speaker 04 Georgia.
47:35 Speaker 06 Georgia loved the horse train.
47:36 Speaker 07 Which we gotta talk about the Georgia Outback houses, which is the lady bathrooms.
47:40 Speaker 06 So the one part he, Dan Gumption dedicated to his wife was the Outback bathrooms.
47:47 Speaker 05 And historical sources say that Georgia was his muse, you know? And so he finally found this ode to her, which were these gorgeous Outback bathrooms.
47:59 Speaker 07 What theme park can you go to a, a ladies' room and there's dry shampoo in there?
48:03 Speaker 00 Yes.
48:04 Speaker 07 And there's lip gloss in there?
48:05 Speaker 04 And a kangaroo. We have live Australian animals in the Outback houses.
48:12 Speaker 07 And it's right next to blurry world.
48:14 Speaker 06 Oh my god.
48:14 Speaker 04 Yeah, one time a wombat got into blurry world and it freaked everybody out.
48:18 Speaker 06 The coconut crab spider they have in outback bathrooms is insane.
48:24 Speaker 04 Georgia was his muse.
48:26 Speaker 05 Georgia was his muse.

48:59 Speaker 05 Go there right now.
49:04 Speaker 07 I, I, I like how Disneyland fans trade up pins. I think it's weird the gumption fans are trading ribbon.
49:12 Speaker 04 Yeah.
49:12 Speaker 07 I think you all can be more creative than that.
49:14 Speaker 04 When they wear them all around their neck like that weird scary story.
49:17 Speaker 00 Well, I've, I've seen some pins, but it's more they don't have the backings. So it's right, it's, it's just right into the skin, which is good. And I wear mine with honor and pride, but at some point.
49:27 Speaker 04 Then I see you bleeding all the time.
49:28 Speaker 00 Right. And so, and then the scar tissue, and so you can't necessarily take them out.
49:31 Speaker 07 Tally?
49:32 Speaker 00 And so you can't trade them.
49:33 Speaker 07 Do you have parents?
49:35 Speaker 00 No, I'm a bastard.
49:37 Speaker 04 Bastards have parents.
49:38 Speaker 05 Bastards do have parents, they just have parents.
49:41 Speaker 07 They have sexy parents.
49:42 Speaker 04 So you're a homeschool? Sorry, hold on. You're a homeschool bastard.
49:46 Speaker 00 No, no, I went to public school.
49:48 Speaker 07 You have sexy parents.
49:50 Speaker 00 I do not know.
49:51 Speaker 06 Homeschool, public school bastard.
49:51 Speaker 00 I was, I was a bastard orphan child and I'm a bastard of the park.
49:56 Speaker 06 See, this is weird.
49:56 Speaker 00 So I was born in the park and I was granted full free tuition or admission for the chart, for, yes.
50:02 Speaker 06 Guys, I don't know, cause like every time like, cause we're like partners in crime, like we gotta spend a lot of time together. Every day she tells me a different origin story.
50:10 Speaker 00 Yes.
50:10 Speaker 06 Like every day.
50:11 Speaker 07 Well, I'm worried about your brain and that's what makes me worry about who's taking care of you at night.
50:15 Speaker 00 Well, it's more I take care of myself and so. I do these brain scans. It's a, it's an iPad app that I bought and you can hold it up.
50:23 Speaker 07 Continue?
50:24 Speaker 06 Can you hold it up?
50:25 Speaker 00 Yes, thank you. And you can hold it up to your brain. You can actually see that it's okay.
50:28 Speaker 06 Honey, that's radiation.
50:30 Speaker 04 iPad, huh?
50:31 Speaker 07 Honey, that's radiation.
50:32 Speaker 00 No, it was, there's no in-app purchases. It was $2.99 on the, on the iPad, but it's iPad Air.
50:37 Speaker 05 There's no in-app purchases, but it was $2.99.
50:40 Speaker 00 It was $2.99, so you don't have to buy it. Yeah, just to buy. And so when you hold it up, you can see that everything's just okay.
50:44 Speaker 07 Is this why you rubbed your head up against a printer the other night?
50:47 Speaker 00 Yes, so that's to charge it.
50:50 Speaker 06 You want to charge your head?
50:51 Speaker 05 That's to charge the iPad app.
50:52 Speaker 00 Yes.
50:53 Speaker 07 You're charging your head?
50:54 Speaker 05 That is amazing.
50:55 Speaker 04 The app requires its own juice?
50:57 Speaker 00 Yes, well, Bluetooth, of course, and so I can't.
50:59 Speaker 06 Bluetooth juice.
51:00 Speaker 07 So that makes sense why it's its own juice.
51:02 Speaker 00 Yes.
51:02 Speaker 07 I worry about you, Tally. I'll say it.
51:05 Speaker 05 Yeah, Tally, I am worried. And now the Bluetooth connection does make sense. I think my AirPods synced to your brain the other day.
51:11 Speaker 00 Yeah, and I had to, I had to unpair them. I had to disconnect and forget the device.
51:15 Speaker 06 What did you hear?
51:16 Speaker 05 I heard.
51:17 Speaker 00 Yeah, what did you hear?
51:18 Speaker 05 I heard.
51:19 Speaker 07 Wait, why don't we plug it in now?
51:20 Speaker 00 Yeah.
51:23 Speaker 07 It's like Tucker Carlson.
51:25 Speaker 05 My mother is located in Texas. My mother is located in a mall in Texas.
51:32 Speaker 07 That's what her AirPods are.
51:35 Speaker 05 This is what I heard.
51:36 Speaker 06 Okay, sorry. In your, in her head, you heard, it's just like Tucker Carlson, my mother is located in Texas. My mother is located in Texas. That's what you heard from her brain?
51:45 Speaker 05 That's what I heard from your brain. That's what it was playing.
51:48 Speaker 00 I didn't even hear that.
51:50 Speaker 06 Well, I wanted to ask maybe if we could hear the other way. I've always wanted to talk to a Bluetooth device. So this is so exciting.
51:55 Speaker 00 Yes.
51:55 Speaker 06 Can you listen to her phone?
51:58 Speaker 00 I can do a reverse engineer.
51:59 Speaker 06 Listen to her brain or phone?
52:01 Speaker 04 Well, it's phone, right? Because you're connecting your phone to her brain.
52:04 Speaker 00 Oh, yeah, I can do what's on your phone.
52:05 Speaker 07 What is this, blurry world? Oh, my God.
52:10 Speaker 05 So you, but.
52:12 Speaker 06 She's going to say what she hears on her phone.
52:14 Speaker 05 She's going to say what my phone is playing in your brain.
52:17 Speaker 06 Okay, ready and go.
52:24 Speaker 05 Oh, I think my phone's open to TikTok. I heard a lot of things.
52:28 Speaker 06 What'd you hear?
52:29 Speaker 05 I think I heard some, I heard the Duolingo notification.
52:33 Speaker 06 Oh, you're paraphrasing what you heard?
52:34 Speaker 05 That was one. Yes, yes.
52:35 Speaker 07 It's not word for word what you're saying.
52:36 Speaker 05 No, it's not word for word.
52:38 Speaker 06 Is this word for word what happened?
52:40 Speaker 07 Should we rub your head and guess a place?
52:41 Speaker 05 I can't possibly do word for word. I don't know what that would even look like.
52:47 Speaker 05 No, that's so fair. Yes.
52:51 Speaker 05 And then I also heard some, I guess, I guess you could call it some, like, you know when, um, and this isn't, this is I'm paraphrasing, but you know when you connect to like a construction zone? Yeah, like the construction zones. Like if you're driving past a, like a construction zone, you can hear what they're saying.
53:09 Speaker 06 Connects to a construction.
53:11 Speaker 07 Tally, tally. We gotta get you at a gumption point.
53:14 Speaker 06 Yeah.
53:15 Speaker 07 You need, you need medical attention.
53:18 Speaker 06 You're paraphrasing.
53:19 Speaker 05 Yes.
53:20 Speaker 06 But it's like connecting to a construction.
53:22 Speaker 05 Maybe there's information lost because I'm only, I'm cutting out a few words. Tally, can you hear bulldozers? No, no, no, I hear the men that are operating the bulldozers.
53:30 Speaker 06 What do they say?
53:32 Speaker 05 Just, you know, a little to the left, deeper, stuff like that.
53:35 Speaker 06 Okay, that sounds like an actual quote.
53:36 Speaker 07 Deeper.
53:37 Speaker 05 That, that sounds word for word.
53:39 Speaker 06 Well, you know, bulldozers sometimes you go deeper.
53:41 Speaker 07 We all go deeper, boys.
53:43 Speaker 06 Deeper.
53:44 Speaker 07 Deeper.
53:46 Speaker 05 Deeper.
53:47 Speaker 07 Deeper.
53:47 Speaker 05 Yes, yes. And stuff like that, but of course I'm paraphrasing.
53:51 Speaker 07 I'm sorry, maybe I'm just.
53:52 Speaker 05 That is uncanny.
53:53 Speaker 07 Maybe I'm just being bubbles, but I think gumption point is unsafe.
53:59 Speaker 06 What's unsafe about it?
54:01 Speaker 07 I think you're.
54:02 Speaker 05 They're gonna furlough you.
54:03 Speaker 07 They might, furlough me. I'll make another belt.
54:07 Speaker 05 Not if we save it. I think we can save it.
54:10 Speaker 07 It's not in danger.
54:12 Speaker 06 We can save it. Here's a ghost out.
54:15 Speaker 05 Wait a minute, wait a minute.
54:17 Speaker 07 What do you hear?
54:18 Speaker 05 I hear someone over the walkie.
54:21 Speaker 07 We didn't even talk about our walkies.
54:22 Speaker 05 We have so many walkies.
54:24 Speaker 06 We've gotta talk about our walkies.
54:26 Speaker 04 We have to talk about our walkies. Remember, remember this?
54:29 Speaker 04 Um, there's some popcorn in my ass.
54:32 Speaker 06 Stop making fun of me. Stop making fun of me.
54:35 Speaker 05 Oh, come on, it was silly.
54:37 Speaker 06 It was genuine and I needed help.
54:39 Speaker 04 There was popcorn, bro.
54:41 Speaker 06 Bro, there was popcorn in your fucking ass.
54:44 Speaker 05 Honey, you said you had popcorn in your ass. We laughed. That's it.
54:49 Speaker 06 I said, uh, everybody, everybody, there is an emergency. Please help. You guys said, what's wrong? I said, I can't talk about it. You guys said you have to talk about it. And I said, oh, there's some popcorn in my ass and you guys will not let it go.
55:01 Speaker 00 And he was paraphrasing, so who knows?
55:03 Speaker 06 Yeah, who knows? Don't paraphrase what I actually said.
55:06 Speaker 04 You want me to verbatim it?
55:08 Speaker 06 Yes.
55:08 Speaker 00 Yes.
55:09 Speaker 04 There's some caramel popcorn in my ass.
55:11 Speaker 05 Oh, it was kettle corn, you sick fuck.
55:14 Speaker 04 You fucking weirdo.
55:15 Speaker 06 It was caramel popcorn and yes, it was stuck in my ass.
55:17 Speaker 07 I have a walkie talkie memory. Ready? Uh, did he just say he had popcorn in his ass?
55:24 Speaker 06 Right after. We have to let this moment go. It was, um, it was right after that happened.
55:30 Speaker 07 Oh, yeah.
55:31 Speaker 06 And you said that, okay?
55:32 Speaker 04 I did say that.
55:33 Speaker 06 I didn't put it in my ass.
55:34 Speaker 04 Thanks for remembering me.
55:35 Speaker 06 I sat down in the can and there was a ton of caramel popcorn there.
55:38 Speaker 00 And you have to think of everyone else involved too, because it wasn't just him. Someone had to get it out. So I would just appreciate if we could all just have some sensitivity surrounding the subject.
55:45 Speaker 05 Well, that is a good.
55:46 Speaker 07 They wanted to.
55:47 Speaker 04 Yeah.
55:48 Speaker 06 Callie, you said you wanted to.
55:50 Speaker 00 No, I didn't, I didn't.
55:52 Speaker 07 You said it in court and you said it in the press.
55:54 Speaker 00 I didn't say it. I didn't say it. I didn't say I wanted to. I said that I would if I had to. And you said you don't have to and I was already in.
55:59 Speaker 06 So now you're quoting yourself? You were already in.
56:01 Speaker 04 I would if I had to and you dove right in.
56:03 Speaker 06 You dove right in.
56:04 Speaker 04 I would if I had to.
56:05 Speaker 05 I was just looking for the opportunity, of course. Well, that's my favorite walkie memory. I can't get this popcorn out of your ass.
56:13 Speaker 06 You have to let it go.
56:15 Speaker 04 I mean, I can't believe, but why were you doing that if not to tell all of us? Cause you were just talking to him.
56:21 Speaker 00 Well, I think it was more of, I wanted us to all be in the moment. I thought you were right behind me.
56:25 Speaker 04 Yeah.
56:25 Speaker 06 It was bad.
56:26 Speaker 00 I thought you all were right behind me and then I look back and I'm in the can, I'm in the.
56:29 Speaker 05 You know, cavity and I don't see anyone else. I'm like, what the heck? So.
56:32 Speaker 04 No, I was across town. I was at a telling this girl whose keg's near it was how she was gonna die.
56:38 Speaker 05 Oh, that remote gig. Yeah. It's nice that we.
56:41 Speaker 04 It was corporate, gumption corporate. We do these events. They can hire us out.
56:47 Speaker 05 Gumption corporate sends all these men in dark cloaks and sunglasses. It's immersive. To tell details about them.
56:54 Speaker 04 We did team building at a pharmaceutical company the other day and it freaked them out.
57:01 Speaker 05 I heard they lowered the price of insulin because they felt so guilty and weird.
57:04 Speaker 07 Good for them, them sick bucks.
57:06 Speaker 04 That's a gumption win.
57:07 Speaker 05 That's a gumption win.
57:08 Speaker 07 This is all just gumption stuff. I can't believe it.
57:11 Speaker 05 This is just gumption stuff. Guys, look, what is a message that you would say to all those people out there who haven't been to gumption yet? Cause we've gotta get more people in the doors. It's fun. It is fun here. It's fun. We like it.
57:25 Speaker 04 We actually are having a promotion right now. If you bring two Coke cans to gumption point, I will drink them and give you a big hug.
57:35 Speaker 07 And that's in the parking lot, y'all.
57:38 Speaker 05 That's before you get in the park.
57:39 Speaker 04 That's right. I'll come out. I love Coke. I love Coca-Cola.
57:45 Speaker 07 And at McDonald's right now, you can go through the dollar menu and you'll get, you could play their, their monopoly game where you get the monopoly. And one of them has a picture of gumption point.
57:54 Speaker 04 Yeah.
57:57 Speaker 05 And so you get to keep that. So look out for that.
57:59 Speaker 04 That's good advice.
58:00 Speaker 05 And you get to keep that. You can put it on your laptop. You can look at it.
58:04 Speaker 04 That's yours.
58:06 Speaker 06 In the fishery world, we're currently doing a promotion. You buy three king salmon.
58:11 Speaker 05 Oh yeah, tell them about the promotion.
58:12 Speaker 06 So if you buy three king salmon, you get the fourth one for free. Three king salmon, you get a carry.
58:17 Speaker 05 Wait till you guys hear about this crazy promotion that they're doing at Fish World.
58:20 Speaker 04 He's doing it.
58:20 Speaker 06 So, um, so doing it right now.
58:23 Speaker 07 We gotta rub her face against a camera or something. She's dying.
58:26 Speaker 00 I'm rubbing it, I'm running out.
58:28 Speaker 05 Charge her up.
58:28 Speaker 04 We gotta rub her face against the camera.
58:30 Speaker 06 So I am trying to explain it.
58:32 Speaker 00 Okay. Just wait for you to talk about the promotion.
58:35 Speaker 06 Okay, so I did explain, okay, so.
58:38 Speaker 06 Partners in crime sometimes get in a tussle. So I'm explaining it, actually. So what it is, is like if you buy three king salmon.
58:47 Speaker 00 Basically, it's as you buy two king sandwiches, you get the third one half-priced, only if you buy another fourth one for full price.
58:54 Speaker 07 Why won't you tell us the promotion? What, you got popcorn up your ass?
58:57 Speaker 06 No, please.
58:58 Speaker 07 What, you got popcorn up your ass?
58:59 Speaker 05 You got popcorn up your ass?
59:00 Speaker 06 It's every day with you guys.
59:01 Speaker 05 She had to do all the work of explaining it.
59:04 Speaker 06 I explained it.
59:04 Speaker 05 What, you got popcorn up your ass?
59:06 Speaker 00 And now we're not gonna make a sale on the promotion.
59:08 Speaker 06 Please.
59:09 Speaker 04 How far up was it up your ass that you couldn't do it yourself?
59:12 Speaker 00 The sternum.
59:13 Speaker 06 I'm in.
59:13 Speaker 04 Sternum, the sternum.
59:15 Speaker 07 Word for word, sternum.
59:18 Speaker 06 I don't know where my sternum is, I was in the fish costume.
59:21 Speaker 04 You got it out, you can deliver horses.
59:22 Speaker 07 You got so much popcorn up your ass, you don't know where your sternum is.
59:24 Speaker 00 I'm 5'3". So, yes, and the real is, I, yes, I truly.
59:28 Speaker 05 Do you have any, I'm sorry, do you have any battery promotions going on that we should know about?
59:33 Speaker 00 We only have one left because the promotion had been selling like hotcakes.
59:38 Speaker 06 The promotion has been sold.
59:39 Speaker 05 The promotion, so you're selling a promotion?
59:42 Speaker 06 And you've got triple A batteries or triple A the car company?
59:45 Speaker 00 It's sort of like, thank you, it's sort of like, if you were to, if you were to visualize it. And we're back. If you were to sort of visualize it and maybe help me out here, it's almost like, and I think you know this well, it's shaped sort of like a pyramid sort of situation. And so if you were to, you know, buying at the bottom.
1:00:03 Speaker 07 Why would I know?
1:00:04 Speaker 06 So this is how it works, if you buy.
1:00:06 Speaker 00 Then maybe one day you'll be able to get to the top.
1:00:08 Speaker 06 Yes.
1:00:08 Speaker 00 And so if you buy a battery, let's say.
1:00:10 Speaker 07 Oh, that's because I do fabletics.
1:00:11 Speaker 06 Yeah, yeah, so like, what it is, basically, it's like, it's a pyramid.
1:00:14 Speaker 00 Watch battery, right.
1:00:15 Speaker 06 If you buy at the bottom, then you can like sometimes get to the top. So basically, how that works is, the promotion is the batteries.
1:00:20 Speaker 00 Promotions are batteries.
1:00:21 Speaker 06 And so what you do is you buy at the bottom.
1:00:24 Speaker 00 And then this.
1:00:25 Speaker 06 You can work your way to the top. Yeah.
1:00:27 Speaker 04 Why are you saying each other's things twice?
1:00:30 Speaker 07 I think you guys are auditioning for Blurry Land.
1:00:33 Speaker 04 Yeah.
1:00:33 Speaker 05 You two are auditioning for Blurry Couple.
1:00:36 Speaker 06 I'm not allowed to.
1:00:37 Speaker 04 Well, we do have that. I think we're looking for two new people to ride those bicycles that are tied together at the front that face each other.
1:00:44 Speaker 07 The high up ones?
1:00:45 Speaker 04 The high up ones. The tall ones that are tied together.
1:00:47 Speaker 07 The one big wheel one?
1:00:48 Speaker 06 The penny farthings that go back and forth.
1:00:50 Speaker 04 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:00:51 Speaker 07 Y'all gotta do that.
1:00:52 Speaker 06 You know, Dan Gumption really stretched what blurry meant.
1:00:55 Speaker 04 Yeah.
1:00:55 Speaker 05 Yes.
1:00:56 Speaker 07 I think at the end of the day, what does blurry mean to you? What does gumption mean to you?
1:01:00 Speaker 06 It blurred lines plays constantly in blurry world.
1:01:04 Speaker 05 Yes. It's a good song. A shame what the lyrics are. But you've got.
1:01:11 Speaker 04 You love the beat though.
1:01:12 Speaker 05 Guys, gumption.
1:01:13 Speaker 04 Favorite beat. We did. We were, we wrote down our favorite beats and our favorite tunes recently.
1:01:18 Speaker 05 Oh, that's fun.
1:01:18 Speaker 04 Not just songs. And then she said, this is one of my favorite tunes, but my least favorite lyrics.
1:01:22 Speaker 05 I know. It's funny how one thing can be both.
1:01:25 Speaker 07 Mine's take me to church. Oh, I love that melody.
1:01:27 Speaker 04 Which one? Tune or melody or lyrics?
1:01:29 Speaker 07 Well, I don't, I don't, I've been told that it's about something that I didn't think it was about. And so I think I was listening to it in the gaze of it just being a nice, like a religious song. And so, and so I was singing it in my, in our church choir. And, and I know you remember this well, because you were singing it with me.
1:01:43 Speaker 06 Yep.
1:01:43 Speaker 07 And so, but then I was told that it maybe just be about.
1:01:46 Speaker 06 Church choir. I'm hooked. Hey, I am hooked.
1:01:50 Speaker 07 It's like a pyramid. It's the same kind of situation.
1:01:53 Speaker 06 Basically how it works is in the church, it's like, so you start at the bottom.
1:01:55 Speaker 07 Pew boy.
1:01:56 Speaker 06 Pew boy, and I'm working my way up slowly to, I'm hoping to get to.
1:02:01 Speaker 07 To pastor.
1:02:02 Speaker 06 To pastor.
1:02:02 Speaker 04 Whoa.
1:02:03 Speaker 06 Hoping to get to pastor.
1:02:04 Speaker 04 I heard some paper apart. I heard you, I heard it's $20 to be a bass, it's $60 to be an alto.
1:02:09 Speaker 07 Well, we don't, we don't use the word bass there.
1:02:11 Speaker 06 We don't use it.
1:02:11 Speaker 07 So not, not, not, not where we're from, because that could be misconstrued.
1:02:15 Speaker 06 Yeah.
1:02:15 Speaker 07 So we like to start with just.
1:02:16 Speaker 06 What are you, a bass singer or a bass guitar is really, or a bass, a bass note? You know, it's just very confusing. So like.
1:02:22 Speaker 07 Well, y'all, I gotta go. My car is in a tow away zone.
1:02:28 Speaker 05 Oh my God. And my Lime scooter is just collecting dust outside. I gotta get on that thing.
1:02:34 Speaker 06 You can't reserve it all day. You have to stop reserving it all day.
1:02:37 Speaker 04 When you get off it, you need to end the ride. You can't believe you left it on.
1:02:42 Speaker 07 End the ride.
1:02:42 Speaker 04 You were sending so much money on that Lime scooter.
1:02:45 Speaker 05 It's not rent to own. I wanted to stay warm. I wanted to be mine. Have you ever wanted something to be mine? Guys, register to vote. When you register to vote, you get a token that you can go and exchange for a Gumption World ticket and a free hug from Mayor Go. And this is for the primaries, yes?
1:03:02 Speaker 07 And if you're on a Lime scooter.
1:03:03 Speaker 05 It's for the primaries.
1:03:04 Speaker 07 If you're on a Lime scooter and you tap in Gumption Point, it will bring you there for free and charge you in two months.
1:03:11 Speaker 04 And what's so fun about that is it's the only thing you, it's like a hack for the Lime scooter. It goes up to 60 miles an hour.
1:03:17 Speaker 05 Yeah.
1:03:17 Speaker 04 To get you to Gumption.
1:03:18 Speaker 05 It unlocks 30 miles.
1:03:20 Speaker 07 A seatbelt comes out of nowhere.
1:03:21 Speaker 04 Yeah.
1:03:22 Speaker 07 If you tap in Gumption Point, you're in a seatbelt.
