The Roast of Todd Padre with Librarian Harriet Splooge (Mary Holland)

Todd gets roasted by his ex-wife's handsome new high school boyfriend. Mr. Levi's disagrees with handicap parking, and gives skateboarding a try. We play another one of Mr Padre's fun word games, and are joined by school librarian Harriet Splooge (Mary Holland). She discusses her failed book fair, making reading sexy again, and the theme for the rapidly approaching prom.

00:00:04
Todd
 

and the car keys. Thio

00:00:30
Howard
 

There's like, somebody slept on the pull out couch last night. Sure talks and both slipping. I had intended to do it alone, but then, you know, Todd showed up and I said, Well, what's better than a little bit of warm? It looks like you guys kind of both, um rolled into the middle the most. The flattest portion is the middle. What

00:00:53
Bill
 

we got singing, which, by the through time pretty earlier

00:00:55
Howard
 

than I freely folded up in closed. Yeah, because when I came in here, I should have said I found you two closed up in the in the pull out couch with somehow the cushions on it.

00:01:09
Sam
 

Yeah, we will. Was it started out? Very scary, but it ended up being a fun little thing. We call it a Todd taco. We had

00:01:16
Howard
 

a nice time with one involved in san. Was it just a Todd Taco? Why would his Sam doesn't fit, you know, obliteration.

00:01:22
Harriet Splooge
 

I

00:01:23
Howard
 

get that. Oh, I see. And he was He was on around you. I was wrapped around him with your flower toward Thio, and he was on the and you were like a meat and sour cream. And, lad, have

00:01:35
Sam
 

you ever had a double decker taco from Taco Bell?

00:01:38
Howard
 

Now those were good. Well, I mean, I'm sorry. I'm not sharing, but I'm eating one right now. Yeah, All right. Well, guys, we are rolling. In a way. We are rolling. Oops. Sorry about that, everybody. Hello, and welcome to

00:01:51
Todd
 

the teacher's lounge. It's April 22nd. And this is the teachers to the

00:01:55
Howard
 

first, best and only podcast tackling issues relevant to the Greater Hamilton High School community. I am, of course, Howard Levis, your biology teacher, joined by my three coast guys. Go ahead and introduce yourself again. Top Audra Theater. Sam, Weatherman, SB and car driving Bill Crave e men's basketball coach and Spanish teacher. That's right. Now, before we get into the show, today we have a guest coming on. Later. It's your lovely library. And Miss Harry, it's blue. But before we get into that, uh, we got a couple announcements, a couple of announcements we need to make. And that was she changed her last name to that. She did. She wrecked. I believe that's interesting. I believe her original last name was Johnson. You mean she just married, and she just married into it. So she changed her last name.

00:02:41
Bill
 

Harry excludes Johnson. I believe

00:02:44
Howard
 

it is how I thought it was Johnson's Blue JJ by mistake. All right, well, before we get into things today, we do have a couple of announcements we needed to make free all. First of all, Mr Guppy in your World history teacher invites you all to the Greek Salad Festival this weekend.

00:02:58
Sam
 

He's supposed to be teaching world history, but he really

00:03:03
Howard
 

focuses on Greece. He does. He does, and that's why he's invited you to the Greek Salad Festival this weekend. If you'd like to attend, just drop off a jar of olives with your name on them in his office.

00:03:14
Sam
 

What, you have to drop off olives to come to the Greek salad Best.

00:03:17
Howard
 

I believe it's a sort of exchange for a ticket situation. I don't know. You have to take it up with him. Just think what they're doing is they're giving olives to poor Greek families of ground. The city. It's kind of like Uh oh, that's nice. Has there been an olive shortage? Are well, the olives have gotten much more expensive recently And so it's really hit Mediterranean port. Mediterranean family's pretty hard, I say, Yeah, one on account of the grexit. Oh, is that also a thing there? Followed in in the British footsteps. I think they went first, as a matter of fact. Oh, really? One other quick announcement. Sorry. Sorry to cut that off, guys, but one more quick announcement before we get into it. The voting results on the contest to change the school mascot have been tallied and the winner has been chosen with 604 votes. Our mascot will be This is gay.

00:04:13
Sam
 

Wow. I think there is a big administration problem because that should not

00:04:19
Howard
 

stand. It shouldn't. That was a right in. I'm assuming it was Obviously, this is gay is not gonna be one of the option. Listen, this tees me off so much because we gave the

00:04:30
Bill
 

students a serious opportunity to have a voice and this is what they do. I ask you this, Students, What does that mascot look like, huh?

00:04:38
Howard
 

Yeah, it's I feel like it's gonna end up being very offensive,

00:04:43
Sam
 

end up start not pretty events in

00:04:47
Bill
 

its beginning, offensive and it can only get worse. And I'll tell you this. I know from experience that gay looks like a lot of different things. Not just one thing. Many different shapes inside. We all know what a falcon looks like. A tiger or a Spartan. No one knows what gay looks like.

00:05:05
Howard
 

It could be anything you're from. You're pacing around holding the microphone

00:05:10
Bill
 

thing. This infuriates me. You know, you try to trust students with one thing and they come off and do something like this and I'm just pissed, you know?

00:05:19
Howard
 

I get it, I get it. I don't think it will stand. I think our principal probably take a stand on that make us actually change our past.

00:05:26
Sam
 

I do have to say I mean, it's all students wrote in one thing That's pretty good organization. I mean, yeah, that is some students. At least they're getting behind some yahoo. I wonder who

00:05:36
Howard
 

organized. This is gay, right in the next president of the United

00:05:41
Sam
 

States is hateful, but he is organized, actually needs someone who people want to follow. And that's a weird thing to follow. Its honestly

00:05:49
Howard
 

scary to me. If we got somebody with that sort of agenda in this school. Who's that good at organizing the student body? And you never know what could happen. And I'll

00:05:57
Bill
 

say this. Let's turn a negative into a positive. Now this is gay. Let's make it our mascot. Let's make it something y'all wanna be. Let's make it a strapping man. Yeah. I mean, this is a buff, cool guy, right? Give me a tattoo.

00:06:09
Sam
 

What does that look like?

00:06:11
Bill
 

Oh, faux hawk. Yeah. This is a bleach tip. Faux hawk way. All wish we looked like if we had the body and

00:06:17
Sam
 

the god, if I had the time to work out. Oh, boy, you're busy, guy. Oh, yeah. I can't find the time. I got a gym membership. I'm paying through the nose for it, but I just can't seem to get there is you know that it's already Yeah. I just can't find the time after work. And you, you're in fact,

00:06:37
Howard
 

overpaying for your membership. If I remember correctly,

00:06:39
Sam
 

I got I got what they called the bad deal. Pulpit that. And you, Why did you not see it coming? Well, it's a challenge. It's a challenge from them saying if you get this package, it is pretend one doesn't get you in the best shape of your life, but you're gonna pay for. Let me ask what

00:06:59
Howard
 

the bad deal includes, cause it's obviously different hours. Different entrances into the gym.

00:07:04
Sam
 

Well, different price. They give the bad deal to people that they sort of see coming, if you know what I mean. They sort of say, Well, you have a wreck car at the gym. So you crashed into the pole

00:07:15
Howard
 

at the gym and you walked in and said to give me a deal.

00:07:18
Sam
 

So I walked in and said, I need help. Way. Do exactly what? I was hurt. Bad, bad, bad.

00:07:26
Bill
 

I believe that. Refused to call an ambulance until you sign the bad deal.

00:07:29
Sam
 

Yeah, not not the first time. Not the first time. What is bad? He has gone. The bad deal is you pay full full price. It is $200 a month. Okay. 200 a month. I got the access I paid.

00:07:46
Howard
 

I go to that gym, I pray $34 a month. Well, yeah. You got the good deal. Okay, So you do get full access with the 200. At

00:07:53
Sam
 

least full access And what does that mean? Bull trainers. Any time that you walk in and you ask for something, they are likely to give

00:07:59
Bill
 

it to you. But they're counting on the fact that you're never gonna

00:08:02
Sam
 

come in. Door's exactly they saw me coming. Did you have to sign some

00:08:06
Howard
 

sort of contract like a long term contractors? That's a thing you can kind of renewed next year.

00:08:10
Sam
 

I'm signed on to a compound contract that goes for four years on compounds like interest monthly. So right now it's 200 a month. By the end of next year, it will be 4 50 a month on. You know, I'm locked into this thing, and I heard you have

00:08:26
Howard
 

to use the worst machines in the place.

00:08:27
Sam
 

Well, yeah, I have to use the worst regimes available. If some of the bad machines are currently being used, I can upgrade to a good machine. But if there's an available machine, I have to start from the bottom.

00:08:36
Howard
 

OK, I heard you. You only really have access to that one thing that is looks like a a grounded bike that just stretches your back out. That's all. You get access to

00:08:47
Sam
 

Yeah, there's stiff pedals. They don't They don't spit. It is an

00:08:51
Howard
 

actual grounded by.

00:08:53
Sam
 

Yes, it is an old exercise bike. They have sauted the pedals on for people who actually get the bad deal. They don't want anybody using good machines. So I'll

00:09:01
Bill
 

tell you this. If I were you, I'd report these people to the Better Business Bureau because it sounds like you're getting screwed over a fence on this.

00:09:07
Sam
 

And I think you're right. Getting screwed over a fence is just

00:09:12
Howard
 

right. Well, I hope you get that figured out in some fashion, Sam, because it sounds like you're gonna be spending a lot of money for not a lot of results. If you ask me, you have gained £5. Do they

00:09:22
Harriet Splooge
 

feed you while you're there?

00:09:23
Sam
 

Huh? Did they feed you? Well? Yeah. They make you eat case. India's. That's

00:09:26
Howard
 

part of the bad deal. Interesting. Wow. We'll

00:09:29
Sam
 

also guys. Ah, Mr Crazy. You gotta tell us

00:09:32
Howard
 

about this This game we had ah, this week. Oh, my gosh. Well, chop chop one. Maura in los category. Got another loss. And as you know, uh, the other team did have food. All of them had food poisoning at the time of the game, and we still lost, um, that

00:09:55
Sam
 

I heard this one was close, though, Right? Well, if you

00:09:58
Howard
 

consider being beaten Ah, 104 to 7. Close. Yeah. I mean, we did score seven points, which is gay. That's good. That's great. Yeah. Put positive witness, but I do not in any way under the Sun Sea that is close. That's a route. You guys got routed. Is that true? Well, I mean, I don't know. I think I was proud of my boys for scoring those seven. And it almost seemed as if the food poisoning is the secret to basketball for the other team because they while they were, um Excuse me, Zoom. Thank you. While they were, you know, defecating themselves, they were still scoring good points. And I would like to take responsibility for food poisoning the other team right now. Um, I was in a blind rage after the first half.

00:10:58
Sam
 

Now, is this another lasagna? We've heard that you've used a lasagna against team before. Well, I typically

00:11:03
Howard
 

bring. I typically bring big trays of food to throw at the refs if they call a bad call against me. And I had brought a lasagna about six weeks ago, and I had forgotten about it. I didn't end up using it, throwing at the refs. Eso I fed that lasagna, which was very old to the other team. I'm thinking I'm thinking about this right now. And to me from every angle. This sounds like a bad

00:11:31
Bill
 

scheme because you've got to get a team of basketball players to eat a bunch of lasagna at halftime.

00:11:35
Harriet Splooge
 

Yeah. How do you convince

00:11:37
Howard
 

what, 10 11 guys from, ah, neighboring school that you're

00:11:40
Sam
 

smart young, 16 17 year old men. Well, you guys

00:11:44
Howard
 

have seen that. Gatorade coolers air opaque, right

00:11:47
Bill
 

for I have to say I never thought about it, but yeah,

00:11:52
Sam
 

yeah, they're opaque. All you got to

00:11:54
Howard
 

do is third from Gatorade. Power and powder in their water. Bunch old bad lasagna. And

00:12:00
Sam
 

all they need is maybe two sips and go. What the heck is wrong with this?

00:12:04
Howard
 

But you got him then. So you mean to tell me you dissolve that old Liz onion, some power aid or Gatorade and color and they drank it, and I put it in there. I put it in their locker room. We ran. They were tired coming in and they all sit down That lasagna. You trusted that they'd retired getting into the locker room before they played any.

00:12:22
Sam
 

You didn't put it in

00:12:23
Howard
 

the cooler that was out by the floor. You put it in the locker now in the locker room. Kohler.

00:12:27
Bill
 

I'll say this in a pinch. I've had old lasagna, and I've had was uncovered a Gatorade powder, but I have never had Old was on. You're covered in a Gatorade powder, and that just seems like a deadly mix. It is 38 year old stomach or 72 year olds.

00:12:42
Howard
 

I was so mad after we lost that game I started. Ah, very believable rumor that all of the refs are members of Isis.

00:12:51
Sam
 

That is pretty believable, even, boy, because refs you know reps have that look, you know what I mean? Let's have that look of like, you know, you don't like him up top.

00:13:00
Howard
 

Yeah, yeah. I mean, if all of Isis wore black and white striped shirts and

00:13:06
Sam
 

we're not easier to catch him because that was

00:13:08
Bill
 

easier than insult.

00:13:10
Sam
 

Absolutely. A zebra. Stop blowing up our buildings, right? I mean, that's what we're talking about. Absolutely. Talk about Isis in a referee's

00:13:21
Bill
 

war against Isis is a war of words. I mean, you can You can fight battles all day long with your guns, germs and steel. But what I need is words. And if he and sold them to their core,

00:13:32
Howard
 

you know, you could get all of isis on the dais at a comedy central roasts which may be done,

00:13:38
Sam
 

if only way together strongly worded e mails, right? I said some roasted to isis to Isis, and, you

00:13:52
Bill
 

know Well, the laundry man, they're probably kind of a bitch

00:13:56
Sam
 

you say today. Well, top where you said you got close. Who was responding to you? Well, uh, it was someone who

00:14:04
Bill
 

kept signing their emails. Isabel Smith.

00:14:11
Sam
 

That's death. That's not Isis. That's, uh yes,

00:14:16
Bill
 

that is yes. Okay.

00:14:18
Howard
 

Yeah, that's easy. Yes.

00:14:19
Bill
 

Well, uh, I'm gonna need two apart. Please tell me she's not Muslim. Said some figs.

00:14:25
Howard
 

I don't know. Tied. I don't know.

00:14:29
Bill
 

I mean, when your roasted it's all fair game

00:14:31
Sam
 

doesn't mean a thing. It's under the It's under the creativity. I mean, come to think

00:14:36
Howard
 

of it. Isabelle does work the pharmacy at the Rite Aid in town, so that could be her. Oh, dear God. Okay, well, I'm gonna have to

00:14:44
Bill
 

go in there. Yeah, I gotta find a new pharmacy.

00:14:49
Sam
 

That's that's heartbreak. Because you already been turned away from couple.

00:14:53
Bill
 

I've been turned away from a few pharmacies. Have what I call a blood thinner addiction.

00:15:01
Sam
 

You're addicted to Tylenol.

00:15:03
Bill
 

That's correct. Hold buy over the counter.

00:15:11
Sam
 

Wait. Why did you buy over? The counter is a two week. It's too.

00:15:14
Bill
 

We got the good stuff from the pharmacist. I need my blood. I need to be my blood to be Wait for them.

00:15:24
Sam
 

I didn't want to say anything, but the other day, when you stubbed your toe, it didn't stop bleeding for six hours. That's correct.

00:15:31
Howard
 

It was, in fact, shooting out very watery.

00:15:33
Bill
 

Well, that was after I had gone on a bit of a bender the night before. Things aren't going so well at home or with my one man show right now. And when things get tough and you can't get paint to sip on, uh, I go for something else, which is blood thinner on you.

00:15:50
Howard
 

you are wreaking havoc on your body. I mean, you're addicted to drinking, paint you. And now you

00:15:56
Sam
 

gotta quit this play. It's tearing your life apart. But this is

00:15:58
Howard
 

great fodder for his one man show.

00:16:00
Bill
 

Absolutely. I feel like he Fletcher, I'm really getting in the character for the show. And I think I'm gonna

00:16:06
Howard
 

get into character for a show. That's your the character?

00:16:09
Bill
 

Absolutely. Yeah. Well, at this point, I don't know if it's life imitating art or art imitating life interest. For example, I wrote a scene where, uh,

00:16:17
Sam
 

you wrote a scene.

00:16:19
Bill
 

Correct. Uh, well, I'm

00:16:20
Howard
 

writing the whole play. He's writing hope. Love the theater. All of the theater students are putting this play on. I'm starring in it by myself. And the students are on stage as an applauding audience.

00:16:31
Sam
 

Yes. So can I ask you a question when you say they're putting on a play but you're starring in it by yourself? How are they putting it on?

00:16:38
Bill
 

Well, they're playing the audience, which lies we say in the theater.

00:16:42
Sam
 

But there will be an audience

00:16:44
Bill
 

well gone. Would Theo. The play is taking place the same night. Is prom. Um And so I'm worried that a lot of people are gonna be a problem. I'm kind of running a counter campaign. Come from that? Some people years instead of problem.

00:16:58
Sam
 

You maybe get some passersby because it'll be

00:17:00
Howard
 

in the auditorium. While this is while the promise happening. The auditorium is technically on the way to the prom. Yeah,

00:17:06
Bill
 

well, yes, it is. I had that planned perfectly. Then move prom to the to the

00:17:13
Howard
 

west and on the other side of town. So you have to pass the auditorium to get their

00:17:17
Sam
 

butts. That the That's the crest. The big the big auditorium on six.

00:17:22
Bill
 

Yeah, it's the Crest Whitestrips artist. Or, uh uh, That was formerly the Colgate Auditorium. Yeah, that was the Colgate editorial. Well, no, that's I'm sorry. The Colgate Auditorium. Oh, we're not related to the toothpaste.

00:17:43
Howard
 

Oh, I say, anyhoo, arts imitating life in this play. And, uh, let's just say but the character in the play is going on a bit of a downward spiral, and so am I. I was gonna I didn't want to mention it, but I did see you getting lead away from the ball game the other night. in handcuffs by some police officers. What was happening there? Time? Um well, unfortunately, my I still call her my wife,

00:18:07
Bill
 

but legal issues my ex wife now was,

00:18:09
Howard
 

and she has. I mean, I hate to say this, but very much moved on. Yeah. Yes. Well, and there's the problem. She

00:18:17
Bill
 

was at the

00:18:18
Howard
 

game with her new boyfriend, and I have drawn guy. That guy. Yeah. I mean, he could be He could be the missus game ask on this guy. Looked like a positive image of a gay man.

00:18:33
Bill
 

I wish he was gay, but, uh, based on the public displays of affection, I was saying between him and my aggressive public displays absolutely a little too much for a high school basketball game, if you ask me.

00:18:49
Howard
 

I mean, at one point, I looked up from my blind rage on the court, and I saw him topless.

00:18:58
Bill
 

Well, he was fighting service food poisoning. Um, because, you know, he was the center for the basketball team. That food,

00:19:09
Sam
 

right? That's why it was so big and strong. He was a high school. It was a

00:19:13
Howard
 

young, beautiful, strapping man who's dating your wife, ex wife's. I

00:19:16
Bill
 

I mean, to me, he looked like he was 93 years old, but everybody else has said he's looking so young and beautiful. I have some sort of cognitive dissonance going on because I can't stand the fact that my wife is now dating a 17 year old college basketball prospect.

00:19:32
Howard
 

And that guy's funny, too.

00:19:34
Bill
 

Yeah, he had some hilarious roasts,

00:19:37
Sam
 

man. I couldn't believe they gave him the mic at halftime. Just got it down. That's a general court. You Hey, I e me. I thought I was watching Don Rickles again, stature and everything. I mean, the bull came out, they played this song and he went to town on I was. First of

00:20:00
Bill
 

all, I I have no line of defense. I was Fleming because I'm expecting a halftime show. And a 17 year old high school basketball center is roasted me like he's Rickles and and I'm some fat kind of wine. Sure, in the audience, which I'm only one of

00:20:17
Sam
 

you were wearing a Hawaiian shirt at all.

00:20:18
Bill
 

No, sir. Well, he took his shirt off and I tried to go. I tried to go toe to toe with him anyway. Things ended up getting physical. You beat me up pretty bad, but I instigated it. So the cops ended up taking me away. Which is kind of a public humiliation, because I did miss a tech rehearsal the next morning for the black. That's a shame. Yeah. I mean, imagine feeling like you're letting those high schoolers down. 32 kids sitting there in their audience. Nothing. Nothing to apply

00:20:54
Howard
 

now. Your audience customs. That's just their regular clothes, right? Well, yeah, I have them kind of picking your character for the audience. And they're kind of thumbing through a program.

00:21:03
Bill
 

Yeah, yeah. Which they're providing themselves.

00:21:06
Sam
 

I couldn't believe of everything that happened in this game. Halftime really cooled off when we got back to that second half. Yeah, and then Mister Levi's I'm going with the genes name I e

00:21:18
Howard
 

I don't think I don't think I don't think we've talked about that legally. How does your name haven't apostrophe and be spelled exactly like the gene company? Legally? Yeah, that's my family is my family is my family name. We've decided it's your family. Last name is Levis. L E V I Apostrophe s not leave us. Well, my Why

00:21:40
Sam
 

do you say Levis? Because, you

00:21:42
Howard
 

know, I do try to distance myself from from the family fortune I don't wanna. I don't wanna have anything based on something that wasn't earned by me. If you understand what I'm saying, I said that I want I want to make a name for myself And I figured if I if I went out in the world and I said, Oh, hello, my name's Howard Levi's people would be like Jean Company hears everything you'd ever want

00:22:01
Sam
 

to take some of that money. I mean, you're not

00:22:04
Howard
 

not a penny. Nothing but Wood first guy. I don't need it. I don't need hold on. Levi's is the last name I thought that was a man's first name, made possessive and put on the jeans. They would have many questions before that, I think. But they were, and I would have answered for all those questions. No, that is my family's last name way are the Levi's, the family. Our family name is Levi's. My father's name is Milton Levi's. My mother's name is Sandra Levi's. What's her maiden name, though? Wasn't a leave. Yes. Do you want us to guess and then her laugh. Her last name was her last name is guests. Wow. So that's two huge jean companies coming together as one.

00:22:47
Sam
 

You're denying all of that family

00:22:48
Howard
 

money? Absolutely. Zero. I haven't taken very, very fruit frugally. Of course I do. Yes. Ah, you know, a very small house. I don't eat very much, if at all.

00:22:59
Sam
 

You were into the tiny house thing before the whole tiny house boom, right? You don't have one

00:23:03
Howard
 

of those cool, tiny house where everything is tucked away. Just perfect. Your house is just a lot of stuff packed into a small right. You know, I lived in a three bedroom by myself before I moved into my tiny house, Kept all my stuff, Didn't wanna part with any of it. Eso I've got 33 bedrooms worth of furniture and appliances and belongings, all in a in a tiny micro micro house. The

00:23:27
Sam
 

micro micro house. Yes, you made

00:23:29
Bill
 

history as the only episode that was a crossover episode of

00:23:33
Howard
 

tiny houses and hoarders. Correct? Yes, Yes. Unfortunately, they were never able to take any video from inside of my home because there's actually no room for anyone to go in And wasn't there a brief? Ah, and this? This didn't make the episode. But the next bus drove by and somebody just next. Did you? Yes. If you watch a Season 13 Episode nine of next on MTV Video where yes,

00:24:00
Bill
 

someone's on a bus. And then people come on to take a date and at any point, the part of the date Ercan say next and just

00:24:06
Sam
 

passed just next ID without having the opportunity in the first place.

00:24:09
Howard
 

Yes, I was next in concept. It seems he even go on from the bus. They some girl just leaned out the window of a buzz in

00:24:16
Harriet Splooge
 

with, you know.

00:24:21
Howard
 

No, I understand that I'm not I'm not. I'm an acquired taste, which is why my mayoral campaign is not going so well right now. Oh, yeah. So I understand that there's certain people who see me, and they don't think I want to get to know that I I don't I don't want to be a part of that guy's life. So I understand that ankle Well,

00:24:37
Sam
 

you did. Is that

00:24:38
Howard
 

supposed to mean

00:24:39
Todd
 

I mean, you know, that's Are

00:24:42
Sam
 

you trying to say

00:24:42
Howard
 

no one in no one likes me. No one cares about me now. It's like you're falsely humble.

00:24:47
Harriet Splooge
 

Me? Yeah. May.

00:24:49
Bill
 

No, no, no. Maybe from here on out, I'll be making eye contact with the person I'm speaking. Okay.

00:24:58
Howard
 

All right.

00:24:59
Harriet Splooge
 

Maybe you think I'm falsely humble. Yeah. What makes you say

00:25:02
Howard
 

that? I mean, this whole thing of changing your name, not accepting any of your money. I mean, it seems like you want everyone to know that you're that you're poor. That house is so tiny that you have to notice it when you're driving by it on the street, you drive through the town of a very smoky tractor. Looks like you're going the other way to prove how poor you are. I don't know. I think I'm living within my means. It's like it's like when you see a politician from the city go down to the south and wear blue blue jeans or Levi's tucked into some sort of cowboy shirt in a cowboy hat. It's like that ain't you. Then you This ain't you. Okay.

00:25:47
Harriet Splooge
 

Well, what do you think

00:25:48
Sam
 

I am? Want to give me, uh, tell me. What do you

00:25:50
Howard
 

think I am? What I'm presenting this fall. I mean, you're from blue Jean royalty, and I wish you, you know, not to it. That's how you were raised. That's other s. Your family is being in the world of theater. I'm all about finding your own personal truth. And that's kind of what you need. I mean, maybe that is true. You know, uh, I think I have spent a lot of my life distancing myself from from from, you know, the sort of people in places that I was created in and created by. I give you your mother. Your mother? Yeah. You created in her? Yes. I'm destined myself from her and my father.

00:26:26
Sam
 

I think if you embrace

00:26:28
Howard
 

that and you let people in on that, you're your campaign would go a lot better.

00:26:34
Sam
 

I mean, you know, nobody wants John Kerry. Horace person in town. Yeah. John Kerry's wife owns catch up. Best huge part of its campaign. He was always dipping fries and ketchup.

00:26:47
Howard
 

Let's watch. I think every time we say ketchup, we have to pay money to her. Is that just for saying touching? The Brits are like the birthday song by two chains? Yeah, it's shit birthday, which is what we're saying at school, and we have to pay to chains every time it's someone's birthday and we sing that song. Well, maybe I don't know, man. Maybe L around Maybe. I think it's a little weird when we're singing to a middle schooler. And all of the teachers in unison say all I want for my birthday is a big booty ho.

00:27:18
Sam
 

Well, the students love it, so

00:27:21
Howard
 

it gets him again. The

00:27:22
Bill
 

teachers don't mind it either. Believe you mean

00:27:24
Sam
 

they do when you slap their butt. Who Who am I talking about? I'm talking to Todd.

00:27:31
Howard
 

I'm looking at him pointing at it.

00:27:33
Bill
 

Okay, so let me ask you this If we sing Y m c A you do the y M c a If we wasted happy and you know it, clap your hands, clap your hands But if you sing big booty ho, you can't find a big booty inspector. But I guess I'm just a little confused on what the etiquette is toe which songs we act out in which we don't

00:27:51
Howard
 

All right. I think that's the issue of objectification their time

00:27:54
Bill
 

all objectify a man. If he's a big Booty Ho too. I don't care.

00:27:57
Howard
 

I think we got a limit. Our use of the word house on this.

00:28:00
Bill
 

You sound like my fucking wife.

00:28:02
Howard
 

Okay, come on, Todd. Let's calm down a little bit. All right, let's calm down. Let's everybody calm down. Take it.

00:28:09
Bill
 

I'm sorry.

00:28:11
Sam
 

I've been made it.

00:28:12
Harriet Splooge
 

Take

00:28:13
Howard
 

your wife's photo off of the dartboard in here, please.

00:28:18
Bill
 

Okay, fine. Here. I'll go here, but no. You're

00:28:20
Sam
 

throwing a dart. You're going. You learn that dart on fire.

00:28:26
Bill
 

We'll hit her. Hold on

00:28:27
Howard
 

it. Nobody actually stopped for the dark. Sit down. Sit down. That's not what this podcast is. Oh, good. Oh, he's stuck in a couch. Another Todd Co. Uh, alright, guys. Good grief. Let's take it. Let's take a deep breath. How about we're letting ourselves got here? Let's take a deep breath here. Sometimes we spend out and that was an instance of that way. Spun out a little bit there. But we're gonna get back on track here because we have a very special guest in the teacher's lounge today. Everyone, you all know her as your lovely librarian. She's been working at this school for a very long time. And she's here to talk to you guys a little bit. And her name is Miss Harry. It's blue, Terry. How you doing,

00:29:09
Harriet Splooge
 

Thio? Your sheer Tell

00:29:13
Sam
 

Mr Schue ish and keep it.

00:29:15
Harriet Splooge
 

Oh, I'll keep Quit now. No loud voices in the lounge. Just that serious sound is joking.

00:29:27
Sam
 

You just finished up a book fair? How did That

00:29:31
Harriet Splooge
 

way? Well, I tell you, it didn't go well. Thes kids aren't buying books way. No. Basically, no one stopped by the library during the book fair because, you know, the computer labs shut down during the book fair. Nobody was involved. No one was coming to the library.

00:29:50
Sam
 

I did hear the posters.

00:29:51
Howard
 

Sold out

00:29:52
Harriet Splooge
 

Way. Had a bunch of posters of every Levine every living room. Yeah, she's a skater

00:30:02
Bill
 

there. Was she right? That's all right. Cough right into the microphones. So we know when you're done. You got there. Will

00:30:14
Harriet Splooge
 

think I'm dead.

00:30:17
Bill
 

What? She write again? I don't

00:30:18
Harriet Splooge
 

know. She she didn't match any bells. She writes music. She loves Biscay, everything. Everything has a date.

00:30:31
Howard
 

Hate it replaces the A.

00:30:33
Bill
 

That sounds like the opposite. You want for one teaching. You

00:30:35
Harriet Splooge
 

know And you know what? To be honest as posters are a little dated. So I was surprised that they win this faster. They went like hotcakes, but nobody bought any backs,

00:30:46
Sam
 

now, is it?

00:30:46
Howard
 

Ah, is it an issue where the kids want? They want him on their kindles or their finds

00:30:51
Harriet Splooge
 

out what the issue is? I just don't think. Kids, I don't know. You know, I've been the librarian here for for 12 years, and over the years, those students, like no one, just comes in to check out a book or to study anymore. Everyone comes in to use the WiFi or use the Internet or make out or hook up in the corner in the resource section.

00:31:14
Sam
 

Think about I have noticed that every year it seems like the hate and vitriol for books just goes up and up and up. Dunnit.

00:31:23
Harriet Splooge
 

Yeah.

00:31:27
Bill
 

A guy like may I love a

00:31:29
Howard
 

play? I'll read a play all

00:31:30
Harriet Splooge
 

that Well, that's a form of literature.

00:31:33
Bill
 

All right, so I can get a play in the library. Of

00:31:35
Harriet Splooge
 

course. Please. I love to see you. Town. There's

00:31:40
Bill
 

just books and And all this, you know, is there Have you thought of maybe trying to make reading kind of sexier for students.

00:31:48
Harriet Splooge
 

Right now I have. But I can't think of anything beyond that. That one programme, the programme.

00:31:55
Howard
 

The programme. You tried to make book sex, they got out of control.

00:31:59
Harriet Splooge
 

Did I was You know, I thought I thought How could I make it sexy? And I thought pit might put my body on things or put my body near things and take pictures. So why did I took a bunch of pictures with and now that, but and

00:32:13
Howard
 

the website you created did get popular. Just not with the sort of

00:32:16
Harriet Splooge
 

group of people you know, Not with the student body. I was I was actually called into the principal's office in

00:32:22
Howard
 

tough teachers called in

00:32:24
Harriet Splooge
 

tell to take that down.

00:32:28
Bill
 

I remember walking by the principal's office. It was a lot of soul and looking students with their heads down that looked like they were in trouble. And then you right in the middle. If you were about I t For that, I

00:32:39
Harriet Splooge
 

got attention. I had to do awaits worth of detention after school

00:32:43
Howard
 

and you had to clean the fleet of blesses.

00:32:45
Harriet Splooge
 

I did have to clean the fleet of buses with my toothbrush. And

00:32:52
Sam
 

that's down to the big regional with the regional station right where they keep all the buses.

00:32:57
Harriet Splooge
 

That's right. It wasn't the school bus is. It was just the way. Which Theo? Yeah,

00:33:07
Bill
 

and that's a tough coincidence, because a lot of the types of people that ride those buses of the same types of people that like seeing a scantily clad librarian on top of books. So a lot of those people recognize you, the drivers in the power.

00:33:19
Sam
 

Oh, yeah, because these buzzes were actually still in

00:33:23
Harriet Splooge
 

Oh, yeah, clean while they were while they were on the road, that threat hanging on to the undercarriage,

00:33:29
Sam
 

like how you would clean this

00:33:30
Howard
 

out of a building. The windows.

00:33:33
Harriet Splooge
 

That's right, that I was swinging from side to side just, you know, swabbing and weapon as I went toothbrush. Let's do

00:33:42
Bill
 

this a lot of times that you know, with a movie or something like that, or book, I say I'm not going to take a chance on this. This could take too much time. If the students don't want to take a chance on a book, what's that. What's a surefire home run book? They think they could read that. They'll all

00:33:55
Harriet Splooge
 

Oh, gosh. Well, you know, I would say I don't know. I mean, you know, based on their interests, the Internet and touching each other, I would say I would recommend maybe 50 shades of grey or something.

00:34:13
Howard
 

I read that book and loved it. I love that, but

00:34:17
Harriet Splooge
 

well, it's very poorly written.

00:34:19
Howard
 

I know. I know. And I think that that's why I loved it. It it's sort of like a tax is your taxi, and you're like lizard brain, you know that

00:34:28
Harriet Splooge
 

I get to just kind

00:34:29
Howard
 

of veg out and, uh,

00:34:31
Harriet Splooge
 

play like you didn't jerk

00:34:32
Sam
 

it to that book. Play like sleigh like No, no. I mean, you're into poor. You're into poor writing. That's the same reason you read Playboy too, right? Yeah. Also, bad prose.

00:34:45
Howard
 

I like, I like I like poorly constructed sentences, interviews and Maxim I

00:34:51
Harriet Splooge
 

D'oh! Poorly. God there.

00:34:55
Howard
 

Uh huh. Uh, yes. Uh, imagine that. Just the dumbest. Just the dumbest man decided to write for too long.

00:35:06
Bill
 

There's already 55 takes on

00:35:09
Howard
 

Jessica Biel out there, and now this guy has to write an original one. Andi also prove that is a writer. It's gonna be bad, and he's gonna try to have an opinion. That is garbage.

00:35:18
Sam
 

You know, there's just so much bad writing out there, man. That's what kids are uninterested. Have you ever tried writing something that's good?

00:35:24
Harriet Splooge
 

Well, after I tried to do like another program I tried didn't get much attention. But, you know, my my nudie photos

00:35:31
Sam
 

got a lot of attention, but it's

00:35:34
Howard
 

just a book tease dot biz Still live on the Internet?

00:35:38
Harriet Splooge
 

Oh, book T stop Biz is not, but Book teased at Angel Fire is

00:35:43
Howard
 

getting danger fire website there. But yeah, I was able to switch it out. What

00:35:47
Bill
 

I like is it's basically the same content, but it loads much slower now on Angel Fire, and the website is much harder to get under phone.

00:35:56
Harriet Splooge
 

It's got a lot of fun, little little gifts and things on there. I'm

00:36:00
Howard
 

sorry we weren't well.

00:36:02
Harriet Splooge
 

Another program that I tried t sort of reach out to kids was I would do a line of poetry a day, and I went and I would and I would put it up outside the library. I would write a lot of poetry a day, has tried to reach out and and then sometimes, and that didn't work. I just screaming down the hallway when they were in class. I don't know if you

00:36:22
Sam
 

heard a scream of the trees.

00:36:26
Harriet Splooge
 

That's right, That was out of context. Well, see. And that's the thing. I need help developing a program to reach out to these kids. I tried to get at him with my tents. I tried to get at him with my country. I tried T O. It's

00:36:45
Howard
 

not your responsibility to make kids read. You're just there if they want.

00:36:50
Sam
 

That's one of the great commonalities of all of us teachers. Why we realize we try our best. But the kids mostly do not listen to us. They did not like what we do not. It's not my responsibility

00:37:02
Howard
 

to make basketball players better at basketball.

00:37:06
Sam
 

It's not my responsibility to teach kids to drive when I'm doing drivers that

00:37:11
Harriet Splooge
 

I think that is your responsibility and I think that's your responsibility to

00:37:15
Howard
 

know I'm there. If they want to play.

00:37:19
Sam
 

Yeah, I have the key. I will say this as teachers, as teachers we

00:37:23
Howard
 

do have knowledge. We do give kids knowledge. We can give them what we know. But

00:37:27
Sam
 

what we can really all we can

00:37:28
Howard
 

really do is facilitate them learning. You know what

00:37:32
Sam
 

I mean? You can't. You can't. You can't

00:37:35
Howard
 

force a kid thio like something. You can't force a kid thio to accept something into their brain, but you can presented to them

00:37:44
Harriet Splooge
 

and hope that they, uh

00:37:48
Bill
 

what you could force a kid to be. Oh,

00:37:51
Harriet Splooge
 

I don't know, Todd, how would you do that? Has

00:37:55
Bill
 

got to show them that it's fun by doing it in a fun way yourself. But words can be fun. Here's an example. Let's play a fun word

00:38:02
Harriet Splooge
 

on a word game.

00:38:06
Bill
 

Now I'm gonna say a word, and you just say whatever word it makes you think of. I had to do this when during my sabbatical

00:38:13
Howard
 

with this is just for the library. Let's let's do this one time

00:38:16
Bill
 

for Mrs O'Leary's flew JJ.

00:38:18
Harriet Splooge
 

Yeah. You changed

00:38:20
Howard
 

your last night, Johnson display

00:38:23
Harriet Splooge
 

it. Actually, it was, uh you know, Johnson was my original maiden name. And then I married Eddie. Come and then I

00:38:32
Bill
 

changed Dissolute spoons equals Come you kind of did a math last name change.

00:38:39
Sam
 

Your last name was

00:38:41
Howard
 

come and you changed it.

00:38:42
Harriet Splooge
 

It was originally Johnson. Then I married Eddie. Come and then we split up. We got no. And then

00:38:49
Sam
 

at least you got a cold. That's why you

00:38:51
Harriet Splooge
 

were together for five years. Well, yes, but we were only married for a

00:38:56
Howard
 

month. Oh, I see.

00:38:58
Harriet Splooge
 

Yeah, we were together for five years. Married friend,

00:39:00
Howard
 

I say, What

00:39:01
Bill
 

was? It means that basically you will never take you marry because you didn't have sex with each other, right?

00:39:05
Harriet Splooge
 

Annulment mains? That's right.

00:39:08
Sam
 

Oh, yeah. It's like a desert. You just get a little

00:39:12
Harriet Splooge
 

turned on

00:39:14
Sam
 

so little right? Todd, this is good. This is interesting. I mean, you could go on a date with Miss

00:39:20
Harriet Splooge
 

Goodnight. D'oh!

00:39:27
Sam
 

Oh, my God! You guys are both very stiff on the floor. She's laying down on the floor with these guys. Next Did you

00:39:34
Harriet Splooge
 

just got freakin next?

00:39:36
Bill
 

It And I couldn't relate to you, Mr Libby Levis now.

00:39:40
Sam
 

All right. Sorry. So we're not actually playing the game show. We're

00:39:43
Howard
 

using the studio right now. You're gonna have to wait

00:39:45
Bill
 

on 18 year old from UC. Santa Barbara just walked in trying to get you walked by and Herbert's and next.

00:39:51
Harriet Splooge
 

No. Well, please source. Wait for me out. Sad

00:39:56
Bill
 

s o this word game. I'm sorry. Oh, yeah? Well, this is just I'll say a word and you say the first

00:40:01
Howard
 

word that pops into your mind. And this is a lot

00:40:03
Bill
 

of writers can kind of come up with an idea for

00:40:05
Harriet Splooge
 

a little. Okay,

00:40:07
Bill
 

so let's even we could try to come up with a book title here. All right?

00:40:10
Harriet Splooge
 

Okay.

00:40:11
Bill
 

All right. So, um, flat chest. Great. Uh, sandwich

00:40:19
Harriet Splooge
 

May,

00:40:22
Sam
 

dude. Tomato, These air. Interesting.

00:40:27
Bill
 

Now that's three possible book ideas right there. How fun is that? Chest, flat, chest, sandwich, May or huge tomato. Any one of those books

00:40:37
Sam
 

you tomato sounds pretty

00:40:39
Harriet Splooge
 

interest Tomato. Sounds like it could be some kind of sapphire thing. Flat chest. I don't know what the plot of that would be. Certainly as

00:40:47
Howard
 

what it sounds like. It could kind of be like a story of some pirates looking for gold. You know, Maybe Maybe, Maybe maybe that's the pirate's name. His name's flat one flat chest and so flat hides a chest flat hide suggestion. Then Cem Cem explorers

00:41:06
Sam
 

are going to look forward.

00:41:08
Harriet Splooge
 

So now I don't play this game with students. No one comes into the library. I can'tjust corner a student in the hallway and force him to play.

00:41:16
Sam
 

You know, you keep trying such interesting things. I'm sure one of these things is gonna bring kids in. I mean, you almost Adam with the hot corn stand.

00:41:23
Harriet Splooge
 

Well, that no, that that blew up that

00:41:26
Sam
 

literally blew up. You are that

00:41:29
Howard
 

burnt the whole nonfiction section down.

00:41:32
Harriet Splooge
 

I got to go the principal's office again.

00:41:35
Sam
 

Now, now, this is your second strike. That's your second strike. If you go back, you will get corporal punishment. Is that

00:41:41
Harriet Splooge
 

Yes, I get corporal punishment. Then I'll get expelled and I'll have to have to submit again

00:41:46
Sam
 

next semester. It's interesting. It is interesting to

00:41:49
Howard
 

me a TTE this school, that sort of the faculty punishment policies are exactly the same. A student punishment policies. I you guys remember

00:41:57
Sam
 

Corporal Postman's open to anybody and even even down to you guys.

00:42:01
Howard
 

Remember last year when I accidentally was parking in the wrong parking spot for three weeks? Huh? You know what they know my punishment was what I had to write. 1000 sentences. That's it. Said it said I will not send. Mr. Levis will not parking in a space that does not belong to him. Sentences should have been. I will not use a handicapped person spot. Okay, Okay. Essay. You're You're taking issue with the fact that the spot I parked in was a different color?

00:42:27
Sam
 

Well, no, I mean, that was Bill. That is Bill's parking bill. The shop. What makes it special?

00:42:36
Harriet Splooge
 

What makes me special? I don't understand.

00:42:39
Bill
 

I don't think it's specialist accessibility. It's more difficult for

00:42:43
Harriet Splooge
 

him to go from

00:42:44
Sam
 

one place. Why? It makes it easier. He's in a wheelchair. I was crazy as Yu Tzu took the sign that said,

00:42:55
Howard
 

Bill's spot and you put it in the back of the lot.

00:42:57
Harriet Splooge
 

Yes, because I think if if he's got wheels that could get him where he wants to go

00:43:02
Sam
 

here, you know he should have to go further and harder. He should have the work harder. My God, Wouldn't you turn

00:43:11
Bill
 

when you took his rim and you came in on a Saturday and installed stairs because you wanted to work your legs on the way into the school?

00:43:17
Harriet Splooge
 

Yes. What? So much extra work. What iss? Yeah, No. Taking out the rampant and Stalin stare

00:43:24
Sam
 

also let you saw your house. We saw the ramp in the banjo and you're trying to escape. You have the right kind of rib. First game porting. That's why it's not. It doesn't go. That's not one of those that goes up

00:43:42
Howard
 

and down. You know what I mean? One of them

00:43:44
Harriet Splooge
 

just so we owe you. Get skateboards on 1/2 pipe. And you

00:43:49
Sam
 

really buried the lead. Because because we haven't even brought up the fact that at the game the other night, when Todd was getting roasted, you've just flipped him over in his wheelchair. Did flip Bill over in his wheelchair? I did on. Then you

00:44:05
Bill
 

took the wheelchair and you said, Ali,

00:44:09
Sam
 

you can't skate. Just get over it.

00:44:12
Harriet Splooge
 

Come on, give me something, would you? We got lots of books on skateboarding. If you want to read in the ever way should get you never love a poster because she likes

00:44:22
Howard
 

you. Remember how they all went real quick because I bought him off?

00:44:28
Sam
 

You said many different testing. Angry?

00:44:31
Bill
 

I just Googled her. She's way too young looking to have all those posters up in your

00:44:36
Sam
 

I think she's sexually attractive.

00:44:39
Howard
 

You was like her music and about kind

00:44:41
Harriet Splooge
 

attractive. I'm attracted to her hobbies. Skating boy? Yeah, I got water bugs in my house.

00:44:49
Sam
 

Now. Those air not

00:44:50
Howard
 

typical thio it be in a house. They're not bedbugs at all. These air big bugs generally in standing water,

00:44:59
Harriet Splooge
 

right? Well, they can be or they can't be. Oh,

00:45:04
Bill
 

Well, what are you

00:45:04
Sam
 

saying they have? Because I'm without

00:45:06
Howard
 

water, They die. So are you saying there's a bunch of ground water bugs in your?

00:45:11
Harriet Splooge
 

I don't know.

00:45:11
Sam
 

Is your bathtub filled up with what? With water on both

00:45:16
Harriet Splooge
 

Know my back. Tubbs only fill up with water when I take a bath or a shower.

00:45:20
Howard
 

How do you feel? Your bath about weight around in

00:45:23
Harriet Splooge
 

it? Yeah, that's not come in a waterfall.

00:45:27
Bill
 

Uh, on. Of course. Everyone's favorite part of the water follows the water sitting at their feet. All still

00:45:33
Harriet Splooge
 

hot. Yes, up until a little while ago. This is it. This won't be broken just anywhere. Well,

00:45:41
Howard
 

um, unfortunately, it will be not Brad King is We want people to hear teachers. In fact, the as they talk,

00:45:48
Bill
 

so note. Censor yourself.

00:45:49
Harriet Splooge
 

All right, well, if it'll get more, more more brains in that library, then I'll happily do it sometimes when I take a pair. Uh huh. And I've got a little glass of wine with me, and I'm reading a book. Like Like, um, like Jane Eyre. Please stop elaborate. I'd love to give you all that book anyway. And I'm sitting there and I'm reading a book sometimes. And I end this. I

00:46:25
Todd
 

have, She's I pick up Paige, I won't get about it. Just I used to be submerged This

00:46:34
Harriet Splooge
 

plan. Just pee in a magic. I think I just I just won't. I just And then I just

00:46:43
Howard
 

just wanted some Harriet. Harriet, that's fine. I mean, what we talking one p in there? That's not a big deal. Humane in the tub. No,

00:46:54
Harriet Splooge
 

no, no, no. What has happened? I swear to God, every time I take the bad

00:46:59
Howard
 

No. I mean, like when? When you're in there, you just pee once, right?

00:47:03
Harriet Splooge
 

No, no. Whenever I have to pay, you don't just pee once

00:47:06
Howard
 

and you just pee, right? You don't poop.

00:47:10
Sam
 

Well, so Okay. What do you want? It is

00:47:17
Harriet Splooge
 

water by eight. Help its

00:47:19
Bill
 

area. I think you need help. She can not. What you need is a newly single man in your life.

00:47:28
Harriet Splooge
 

Well, I'd be interested in that.

00:47:29
Howard
 

Are you talking about me getting a divorce?

00:47:31
Harriet Splooge
 

Eddie? Come screwed me over a fence.

00:47:35
Bill
 

Been there

00:47:36
Harriet Splooge
 

literally, Figuratively. Metaphorically. Emotionally, mentally.

00:47:42
Sam
 

Wow. Well, you know, speaking of No, no, no. Because this area was this over defense at your house.

00:47:51
Harriet Splooge
 

No, this was over. This was over a fence over a fence on the edge of a cow pasture.

00:47:58
Sam
 

Uh, one of those barbed wire ones. Oh!

00:48:00
Harriet Splooge
 

Oh, it hurts.

00:48:03
Howard
 

Got Miss Harriet.

00:48:05
Harriet Splooge
 

Oh, it hurt.

00:48:06
Howard
 

I think. I just think I don't think you should be pooping and peeing your own bath.

00:48:12
Harriet Splooge
 

Whoa, whoa.

00:48:14
Sam
 

Don't judge her. I think I think Miss Blue is a very strong woman who's dealing with a lot to deal with the whole lot and

00:48:21
Harriet Splooge
 

helping my water bag.

00:48:23
Bill
 

Exactly. Students, if you want to see a woman who wades in her own filth all day, stop by the library anytime

00:48:32
Harriet Splooge
 

day or

00:48:33
Bill
 

when she's reading Jane. Hair

00:48:36
Harriet Splooge
 

hair. Good Lord. Uh, air

00:48:40
Bill
 

Jamir. Go by. Check her out. See the library and maybe pick up a book while you're down.

00:48:46
Harriet Splooge
 

Wonderful. Please, Dave.

00:48:48
Howard
 

Yes, Pan. Air is good. I've heard it's kid. Speaking of good things, guys, promise. Right around the corner. Oh, that's right.

00:48:58
Sam
 

Now, did everybody pick up their prom tickets? They're going fast.

00:49:04
Howard
 

They're going. From what? I understand, I did get an update from Miss Holloway. Uh, because we said everyone go to her classroom over lunch. All 4000 of you in the school. It does look like everyone did storm her classroom on. I believe she ended up with two broken ankles in the affair that I believe it was. It was as far as I can tell. Every student went in there and got their prom tickets. Better not have been a dang theater student in there because they'll be sitting in the audience starring in my play on prom night.

00:49:40
Harriet Splooge
 

You're gonna let him go to prom after that?

00:49:43
Bill
 

Depends how much applause we get. Length of show how much I have to improvise within the show, whether I'm feeling it or not. Whether

00:49:50
Sam
 

you shows pretty loose. You can get some heavy applause up top and kind of cut it short. Happy?

00:49:55
Bill
 

Absolutely. If I get a heavy applause early on in the show, we'll come out for bows and call it a day.

00:50:01
Howard
 

I saw your play two years ago and you got a big, warm reception and you called it. It was about 15 seconds long the whole night. Yeah, well,

00:50:11
Bill
 

I enter that playoff, which starts to be entering all Kramer. Kind of expecting a big, big, big applause from the audience. Normally, I did it to crickets, but one night they applauded just at it, I think instinct from someone. Intellect.

00:50:26
Sam
 

Do you still hold the record for Worst play ever?

00:50:30
Bill
 

Well, uh, kind of e mailing back and forth with the Guinness Book people about that.

00:50:35
Howard
 

And what email is that you've been aiming

00:50:37
Harriet Splooge
 

at? What's that email address? I'd love to email them about the water bugs.

00:50:40
Bill
 

Uh, I've been doing G book at well dot com.

00:50:48
Harriet Splooge
 

It's Someone responded to you?

00:50:50
Bill
 

Yeah. Yeah, a man who claims to be a country star who misspelled his originally

00:50:57
Harriet Splooge
 

That may be Garth Brooks.

00:50:59
Sam
 

So you you might be emailing Garth Brooks So he went in. So we

00:51:05
Howard
 

think Garth Brooks is email is G book at a O. L and

00:51:10
Bill
 

I definitely moving back and forth of the man named Garth Brooks, but I am hoping he works for the Guinness Book of World. He's cleared. There were a few times when he forwarded my emails and I got a response from See Gains and a Well but come

00:51:24
Howard
 

Yeah, his alter ego, Chris Gaines. Probably. I was assuming it was maybe the assistant. I say Guinness

00:51:32
Bill
 

Book, but I've been emailing them back and forth because I've been trying to get them to come and give me best play. I've been saying I've been telling them If you want to see the worst play of 2016 the worst play ever written, it's much worse than mine. Go to Broadway and check out the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime. There was not one dog in that place. It was. It was poorly advertised, poorly active, and I was parking from the little I

00:51:58
Harriet Splooge
 

don't know. They evaluate things as subjective as Is it a good player? Longest, hottest price display. You do hold the proudest leads right

00:52:12
Bill
 

That's right. Well, my Katrina play way. We really turned it up in there so that people could feel what it was like to be one of those people.

00:52:20
Howard
 

There was eight with the room was, um, outlined with Sana. Rocks?

00:52:26
Bill
 

Yeah, we had sauna rocks on the outside swamp cooler on the inside.

00:52:31
Howard
 

It was pumping hot air from outside in. Correct?

00:52:33
Sam
 

Yeah, that's right. That was the place where the riot broke, right?

00:52:36
Bill
 

Well, right. Broke out because attired riot, Everyone was pretty exhausted and I came out. I came out. Is Donald Trump tribe? I met Rumsfeld. I got Trump on the brain. I came out as Donald Rumsfeld doing Billy Crystal's Jazz Man

00:52:52
Sam
 

character thing, right? Because they were angry about the content. They were they right, because there's some confusion. They

00:53:04
Bill
 

were so confused that the human instinct when your peak confusion is two is anger and my mob mentality on. It was

00:53:12
Howard
 

so hot. They were throwing slow punches. It was all tired.

00:53:16
Bill
 

Well, Guinness had it in. There is the slowest. The slowest massacre.

00:53:20
Harriet Splooge
 

It was a mask. Some people got a slow massive

00:53:26
Bill
 

are Karl Rove was murdered. Unfortunately, his understudy was excited about that.

00:53:31
Harriet Splooge
 

Lord Tod had this whole other loves. You write a book called Huge Tomato Understudies.

00:53:38
Howard
 

Oh, well, I I I certainly hope you're your students. Don't go. Are your audience members go to prom, but I'm happy to let the basketball team go, cause that'll be after our big region game way. Don't

00:53:53
Harriet Splooge
 

need to get tickets because we're tapping

00:53:55
Howard
 

away. At the moment, we're all we're all gonna be chaperoning that problem. Obviously, Todd will find us up, hopefully to shepherd and for him

00:54:03
Sam
 

to just show up. You know, I bet you get a big applause. You and that thing. Yeah, Walk across the hall. Once they throw

00:54:09
Howard
 

a bunch of roses at you and you get all your bouquets, come over to the prom

00:54:15
Harriet Splooge
 

bouquet,

00:54:16
Bill
 

students, if you want to see me chaperoning prom, which you know, you D'oh, go ahead and come to the play first. Untitled first half a one man show. Second half is the title. I'm still looking for the first half title.

00:54:28
Sam
 

That's I don't think they come to the problem to see the chaperones to see what the chaperones do at it, huh?

00:54:35
Harriet Splooge
 

Well, they better keep get ready because Miss Blue just going to make a scene.

00:54:40
Howard
 

Wait. Now we know that the there is another one of these sort of student votes contests to decide the theme of the prom this year. Unfortunately, there is a right in portion, But

00:54:53
Sam
 

somewhere, just, you know, we'll take this

00:54:54
Howard
 

opportunity to please ask students, you know, don't right in something silly. Pick fromthe ones that you have. You have a CZ actual options. The prom committee is gonna work really hard on putting together an amazing prom for you guys. You, of course. What are the four? It's it's under the sea. Is was one of Disney Disney, which is more of an umbrella. The

00:55:16
Sam
 

other one is Ariel and Thanksgiving Thanksgiving. Excuse way. Pretty good choices. This you're on an earthy one, you know, three that feel very similar. And then one outlier. Yeah, and

00:55:34
Harriet Splooge
 

that's good That what do you even thinking?

00:55:36
Howard
 

I mean, if

00:55:36
Harriet Splooge
 

I'm

00:55:36
Howard
 

thinking about what it Thanksgiving prom even looks like. I mean, we're not talking like first Thanksgiving. That's what

00:55:41
Harriet Splooge
 

I'm assuming. I think so. I mean, are we talking right? 10 typical thanksgiving with my relatives, just

00:55:47
Howard
 

people yelling at each other

00:55:48
Harriet Splooge
 

and even means to you first.

00:55:51
Sam
 

True Thanksgiving. We're talking race wars. We're talking about kids. What? It's most famous

00:56:00
Harriet Splooge
 

for

00:56:00
Bill
 

the first Thanksgiving. Now, Mr Weatherman, students still expect your if they want to order your limo service for prom night. Have you Have you kind of fixed all the problems with that?

00:56:12
Sam
 

Well, we're all kind of wondering about that right now. I think I think where you cannot drive it is little. It is illegal for me to drive, but I do have all these limos. So I'm just, you know, I don't know what to do because it feels like if I pass is after someone else, the job just won't get done right. But I know that if I take it myself, so I'm in a tough spot because, you know, I'm pretty precious about my vehicles. Yeah, well, you I think

00:56:39
Howard
 

you're putting a lot of hard working to learn how to drive. And I think this is going to be your big moment. When you deliver a bunch of students to prom safely safely, the sheriff will have no choice but other two than to reinstate your driver's license. Right then and there

00:56:57
Harriet Splooge
 

you have to prove that you're a good driver to get

00:57:00
Sam
 

your driver's greetings. Revoke. I've been working my way up. You know what I mean? That started with the Miata on a short car. And that that

00:57:08
Harriet Splooge
 

means you gotta

00:57:14
Bill
 

hear more of the comedy stylings of Miss Skloot. Filthy librarian. Go down to the library, see what she's up to down there and maybe even check out a book

00:57:23
Howard
 

ringing endorsement. If I'm being honest, I'll tell you guys, the problem thing that I would be most excited about is Disney. Uh, and then the students take that for what you will. But I just think that Disney and provides it provides you a lot of options that you could have anti Semitic. Walt Disney walking around which daughter would love that. My daughter is not a racist. She just can't read or

00:57:48
Sam
 

write. Okay, If she's not a racist, how does her how does her illiteracy end up looking like racism so often? Listen, I don't

00:58:00
Howard
 

know. Okay, when you don't know how to write, sometimes you accidentally write down swastikas. Okay, I would say at least just get her checked out by a racial psychologist.

00:58:11
Harriet Splooge
 

Yeah, because you know, when I asked her about it, she said that she was Joe and squashed squashed spotters squash like spatters that got squat.

00:58:22
Howard
 

That's what she tells May call them Squash to coast.

00:58:25
Harriet Splooge
 

That's right,

00:58:27
Bill
 

which I don't know where the ticket is is coming

00:58:28
Sam
 

from. I think I know where it's coming from. I think she knows exactly what she's doing. And she's a pretty good little lie. My don't okay? Are you talking about What are you talking about? When my daughter dressed up like Hitler for Halloween? Yes. Every year.

00:58:42
Harriet Splooge
 

I thought she was supposed to be Charlie Chaplin.

00:58:44
Howard
 

That's what she said. Well, I'm really changed her jacket once I let her left. Leave the house. I have never

00:58:51
Bill
 

said he was chaplain. She could work on her honor. Slapstick. I did not laugh once.

00:58:56
Sam
 

I will say, though great public speaker, your command,

00:59:01
Bill
 

the attention of a large has many times.

00:59:04
Sam
 

You think? I mean, you don't say about it and I don't want to say public. I don't want to say that

00:59:11
Howard
 

my daughter was the one who organized that this is gay. Um,

00:59:15
Harriet Splooge
 

that was right in. I don't I

00:59:18
Howard
 

don't think so. I think I don't think my daughter would have ever done that. But, you know, she's a great public speakers. She knows how to organize hateful people.

00:59:27
Sam
 

Illiterate. Are you watching her computer activity or Internet activity?

00:59:33
Harriet Splooge
 

If she's using the computer in the computer lab? Elaborate. I can access that search history. Well, not

00:59:37
Sam
 

that I won't let her

00:59:39
Howard
 

get on the computer anymore.

00:59:40
Harriet Splooge
 

Yes, Todd, I can.

00:59:42
Howard
 

She She spent most of her time on rotten dot com.

00:59:46
Bill
 

You know what? You can't trust their movie reviews. Oh,

00:59:51
Sam
 

you think about

00:59:52
Howard
 

rottentomatoes dot Rotten Dotcom is just a website

00:59:56
Sam
 

that Todd's talking about. The movie reviews on Rotten. What was the run

01:00:03
Howard
 

dot com review of Guardians of the Galaxy?

01:00:05
Bill
 

A picture of a dead Iraqi? It infuriated me. I don't need to look. I just wanted to know how

01:00:12
Sam
 

that they gave. They gave finding Dorrie two heads blown off.

01:00:23
Bill
 

I'll tell you what, That movie did not blow my head off

01:00:32
Sam
 

way. Believe they gave Zootopia one corpse being eaten by maggots. Unbelievable. That's the best of you they've ever given. I don't

01:00:44
Howard
 

know that I've ever explored. Run run dot com to the depths that you gentlemen

01:00:48
Sam
 

here. There's a movie, but I forgot about to be reviewed. Tab. It's a funny sight.

01:00:52
Bill
 

Get everybody out there. Go two rotten dot com and just I been movie reviews. They type in suicide squad

01:01:02
Sam
 

now doing at school either. Whatever side squad

01:01:05
Howard
 

review is pretty on the nose, whatever you do, don't do this at school. You don't

01:01:11
Harriet Splooge
 

do it at the library. I will. No, I will. No. I know that Todd has been googling a certain term. Every chance you get you Google this term

01:01:23
Bill
 

how to stop yourself from suicide.

01:01:25
Sam
 

Think Oh, what is that? People keep saying they're gonna do it to me. One of the students. Well, this 17 my wife's current boyfriend. Oh, that's bad news. He's strong, right?

01:01:42
Bill
 

Oh, I mean, that's what I'm worried about is if a big, strapping young man I don't know what a donkey punches, but it sounds like something. If a big boy did it to me, it would really hurt. Wow, Don't punch by a doctor

01:01:55
Howard
 

before. Good grief, guys. Well,

01:01:58
Sam
 

are you gonna show up to your own roast that he's hosting

01:02:02
Howard
 

at the three Chris White strips off

01:02:04
Sam
 

toward some of the best roasts are are the you know, the celebrity getting back at him.

01:02:09
Harriet Splooge
 

That's true.

01:02:10
Bill
 

You know, I think the whole thing kind of blew out of proportion that he rested in the halftime show on Comedy Central, booked him to do a roast of me at the Crest Whitestrips auditorium. I think if we can get Isis on the dais and maybe roast them a little bit and there

01:02:27
Howard
 

the good on the war that all sacrifice myself is,

01:02:30
Sam
 

Ross confirmed. Is Jeff Ross confirmed.

01:02:32
Bill
 

Jeff Ross is not confirmed. I

01:02:35
Howard
 

think he did. You email on roasting some of the 9 11 1st responders? Oh, boy. Well, uh,

01:02:46
Bill
 

to me, I think that's disgusting. I think he's gone too far. First, prisoner cops, not first responders.

01:02:53
Harriet Splooge
 

Bath
