Episode 26: Schall We Talk about Low Production Value

This episode was supposed to be simple. After you guys loved the cabin-in-the-woods chaos, we thought - let’s do it again, but on the beach. What could go wrong?

Everything. Absolutely everything.

In this episode you’ll see:
Our beach attempt where it’s freezing, windy, and the ocean is literally attacking us every 10 seconds
The pier attempt where Security is “directing,” forgets his notes, and breaks his phone mid-filming
The Central Park pond attempt featuring turtles, tourists, and audio so bad it sounds like we’re interviewing strangers
The final pivot where we somehow stitch together whatever footage survived

Also included:
Games that make zero sense
Me realizing mid-episode this might never air
Security confidently taking control… and immediately losing control
A very expensive “low production value” episode

And somehow… here we are.

If you’ve ever had a day where nothing goes right—this one’s for you.

SPEAKER_02 0:06

Hi everyone, welcome back to Show We Talk. Boy, do we have a maybe kind of we'll see low quality low production value episode? That's what this episode should be called, the low production value. Okay, so let's go with this. At the end of every episode, I tell you guys tune in next week because we have no clue what's gonna happen. Not even me. Well, we're currently in this week, and I don't know what this episode is. Okay, so this is what happened. You guys loved the cabin episode, and that was off the cuff. Like that was we started filming, I gave you a challenge, we paused, we started filming, we got two episodes out of it, everyone loved it. So security said, when you and Dr. Panaman go to do your engagement photos on the beach, why don't we also record an episode on the beach? And I was like, oh, that's such a good idea. Everyone loved the cabin episode, great. And then I had said to him, let me think of like what to do. And he goes, you know what? I'm directing this episode. Let me take charge. I got it. So I said, Alright. So we do the photo shoot, and the weather is really beautiful. And then after lunch, we go to record the podcast, and there's a complete 180m weather. It is freezing, it is windy, it's right, it's just not great. Dr. Piano Mans comes down with us. We set up on the rocks. Where security seats me, I'm in front of the sun. So on the camera, I'm completely like blacked out, right?

SPEAKER_00 1:38

Not completely black. No, you're right. It's just we see you, but it's not as clear as my angle.

SPEAKER_02 1:43

Yeah, your angle is super clear, although it's like an upward, not a flatter. And then my tripod holding the phone because we didn't bring the cameras, it's sweating because it's so windy. So security's holding it, but he's sweating. And okay, so I'm not complaining. I'm just saying we recorded for 40 minutes and we have about five minutes of usable footage. So then security that night is editing, and he calls me and he's like, Robin, no bueno. He's like, well no, also, all your notes was on the phone we were recording on. Correct. So you were half making up games.

SPEAKER_03 2:18

Correct. The games were so stupid.

SPEAKER_02 2:21

There's one part, the only part I knew we gotta keep in, is I make you show Dr. Piano Man for a second, and he's like shivering on the rocks. Okay, so anyway, you're gonna see those five minutes. But then what happened is Richie was like, we don't have enough for an episode, Robin. So I said, Okay, why don't we like pivot and let's make this a two-parter so there'll be like five, six minutes of us at the beach, and then like the rest of the episode at the PR. And he was like, perfect. And he's like, I still want to be in control of this. I'll come up with like other fun segments. Okay, next day we record at the PR, and okay, guys, you're gonna see all this. Don't worry. So, security. This time we brought cameras so that the we didn't have to deal with the wind, you know, moving everything. I clearly did not brush the back of my head. No, and you still did side angles.

SPEAKER_00 3:13

Yeah. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.

SPEAKER_02 3:16

Every time the camera shifts, I was like, oh my god. What this is what happens all the time. I look at the mirror and I like do the front of my hair and I don't do the back. But I feel like the back is none of my business until I have to see it on Show We Talk.

SPEAKER_03 3:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 3:30

So that night, security goes home and he edits it and he calls me and he goes, Robin, no boy, no. Nope. I was like, what's wrong? He's like, well, he's like, it's just not very interesting. But you didn't really have a segment except talk by the P. Security didn't put a mic on him, so anytime he spoke, he just took his phone and lifted it up. And when he wasn't talking, he balanced his phone on the tripod. Well, at some point you moved, his phone bro fell shattered.

SPEAKER_00 4:02

Correct.

SPEAKER_02 4:03

Okay. So anyway, that night he calls me and he's like, Robin, this is what let me say. And I walked, and he was right. So we filmed for about another 40 minutes. And again, there was only about five minutes of usable. Okay, so anyway, so we decided, I said, okay, well, Richie, what we'll do is tomorrow, let's pivot and make the episode instead of just about the beach and the pier, let's make it the beach, the pier, and the pond in Central Park, and eventually we'll have enough content. So he said, Okay. So we record for about another hour at the pond in Central Park this time, like because we wanted to make sure we had enough content. So he goes home that night and he edits, and then he calls me and he's like, Robin, no bueno. And I said, What's wrong? So there was a group of tourists that wasn't that far from us. Actually, you'll see them at one point in the video. And our mics, because remember, we weren't using these mics, we were using like lava mics and lava.

SPEAKER_00 5:03

Lava. Not lava mics.

SPEAKER_02 5:05

We were using lava mics, and the entire episode you hear them talking. Not even just like in the background. You talk as them while I'm talking. So hey guys, how are you doing tonight? I was thinking what we could do today is we could talk about the pond and the different that's what it sounded like. Three cheese. Oh that's what it sounded like. Okay, so there's only about three minutes of usable. So uh let's first right now watch the five minutes of usable. I when I say usable, I'm putting quotes because all this usable stuff is not like high production value. Everyone, this is our low production value. Like, you know how we've been honestly trying to up the production value? This episode, we're saying fuck it. We're saying you're here today because you love us and you're escaping real life problems.

SPEAKER_00 6:12

To watch our problems.

SPEAKER_02 6:17

But all right, first let's go uh watch security's directorial debut directorial debut. Woo! That's a tongue twister. Directorial debut.

SPEAKER_03 6:34

There you go.

SPEAKER_02 6:36

At the beach. So we are recording today in Long Beach, Long Island. Now, after college, I lived here. Rich, Rich, you're holding the camera. What? Do you guys do you guys see that? He's holding the drive on, but he's swaying. But it's it's it's the wind. Hold on. If I if I pressed it. This is not make- this is not gonna be a Patreon exclusive. No, this is gonna- Okay, so what do you want to do this episode? This is your episode, take it away.

SPEAKER_00 7:14

Okay, only problem. Yeah, all my notes are on the phone. Oh god. I forgot to print them out. So what do we do? I have a memory.

SPEAKER_01 7:28

Oh my god, okay.

SPEAKER_00 7:29

Okay, so so the first game we're gonna play. We're gonna play games. Speech games.

SPEAKER_02 7:34

Speech games.

SPEAKER_00 7:35

Speech games, okay. Okay, I'm gonna give you like three items, okay? Okay, you know you're just going to get it. I know, I'll try okay. I'm gonna give you three items, okay? Okay. So either you can keep it, or you could throw it out to sea because you don't want it, or you can bury it because you like it, but you want to save it for another day.

SPEAKER_02 7:53

And this is what you wrote down, but you don't have it?

SPEAKER_00 7:56

I don't remember the three items that I wrote down.

SPEAKER_02 7:58

Oh, how are we gonna play?

SPEAKER_00 8:00

Okay, I I will come up with my own.

SPEAKER_02 8:03

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 8:03

Okay, a box of pizza.

SPEAKER_02 8:05

If I bury something when I dig it up, it's hot. It's still hot. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 8:09

Okay. Okay, pizza.

SPEAKER_02 8:11

And like am I a deserted island, like I'm stuck there? Like you are stuck. And there's no one else. No one else. How long am I there for?

SPEAKER_00 8:19

Eternity. Okay, oh, jeez. So you have a box of pizza with pizza in it, a iPod from 2008, with songs from 2000 and like an eight pack. Okay. And the last thing is a coconut.

SPEAKER_02 8:37

Okay, it's so easy. I would eat the I would keep the pizza.

SPEAKER_00 8:43

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 8:43

I would throw the co oh no! If you're listening, I'm so sorry I screamed in your ear, but the uh ocean came up to my feet. Guys, if you're listening, Dr. Piano is like three feet away reading a book. Freezing! We're so cold. Isn't it freezing? I love you. Take care of me out more. I'd keep the pizza.

SPEAKER_00 9:22

Alright.

SPEAKER_02 9:22

Throw the coconut at sea. Because if I'm on the island, I'll find other coconuts.

SPEAKER_00 9:26

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 9:27

And I would ferry the music for a rainy day. Alright, good. Alright, next game.

SPEAKER_00 9:33

The next game I remember now. It's called Sunburn.

SPEAKER_02 9:39

Okay, if you're listening, oh my god, I don't even know if you can hear me because it's a freaking helicopter. Oh my god. The poor audio people. The poor audio people have heard me scream. They're hearing helicopters. So every time you hear me scream, just know it means the ocean has come and hit us at the feet. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 9:59

Okay, so this game is called Sunscreen Sunblock.

SPEAKER_02 10:03

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 10:04

I'm gonna tell you something, and you tell me, I can know if you like it, you say sun uh sunscreen, and if you don't like it, sunblock.

SPEAKER_02 10:12

Okay. And this is a beach game.

unknown 10:15

What?

SPEAKER_02 10:17

Yes, because on the beach. This is the dumbest episode. Okay, no, it's great. Security, I told you to take initiative, and that's what you're doing. You never know what you're gonna happen. You never know what's gonna happen. Not even me. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 10:35

Okay. So, like if I say pineapple on pizza.

SPEAKER_02 10:39

Sunburn.

SPEAKER_00 10:40

Really? Why?

SPEAKER_02 10:41

I actually have never had it, so I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 10:44

Alright, okay, start a conversation.

SPEAKER_02 10:48

Do you like you sunburn or sunscreen?

SPEAKER_00 10:51

I don't know, I never had it.

SPEAKER_02 10:55

Alright, your brother making you film in the cold. Sunburn or sunscreen? Sunscreen. You know what? Same.

SPEAKER_00 11:04

Because look at this. We are never gonna forget this.

SPEAKER_02 11:06

I was just gonna say, like, this will be a memory. You reason why it's sunscreen is because we'll record a million episodes in the studio. We're gonna remember the episode that didn't air.

SPEAKER_00 11:18

Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_02 11:20

Okay, I still say sunscreen.

SPEAKER_00 11:22

Yeah, sunscreen. Oh, 100%. No, that's uh we're always gonna remember this.

SPEAKER_02 11:26

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 11:27

Your turn. Oh, yeah, okay. Alright. Being stuck on a deserted island, but you have Dr. Pipiano Man with you.

SPEAKER_02 11:34

Oh, sunscreen. I hope that happens.

SPEAKER_00 11:36

But you can never see your f rest of your family.

SPEAKER_02 11:38

I'm fine. No, honestly, like I've hit the point in life, but I'm but this is just because I've been having such bad anxiety lately that like I just want to go to a deserted island and just spend my days with Dr. Piano Man. I would miss the family and my friends and the kids. Okay, so I won't do it.

SPEAKER_00 11:57

See, look at that. Good game.

SPEAKER_02 12:00

I told you Dr. Piano Man, I may have even shared this on the podcast, but I said, What's the price someone has to pay you to sleep with me? And he said, zero. And I said, that's full. I said, come on. If someone offered you five million dollars, he said, no. I said, if someone offers you ten million dollars to sleep with me, you wouldn't take it. He's like, no. I said, fifty million dollars one time, that's it. He's like, Robin, there is not a price. And I was like, well, there's a price for me. I said, anyone could sleep with you for 10 bucks. I don't care. And then he's like, it's not true, you don't mean it. And I said, Yeah, I do. Like, there's a price for everything. He's like, okay, if someone offered you 50 million dollars, but you would not live till 2027, would you take it? And I said, No, obviously. He said, exactly. He goes, Because we're already rich. We have everything we want, we don't need more money. And then I was like, oh my gosh. Fine, two million. Oh my gosh, guys. Why are we set like why did we set up so close to the water?

SPEAKER_00 13:12

Because the light actually looks really good behind you. I'm not sure if we could see you though. Oh no, man down, man down!

SPEAKER_02 13:23

Man down. Oh my god. All right, Dr. Fiamme, let's get out of here. Alright.

SPEAKER_00 13:32

Great episode.

unknown 13:37

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 13:39

Oh my god. Okay, it was so cold. If you're listening and not watching, every time we were screaming, the water was coming up to us and we're wearing sneakers and jeans. Like we were not prepared to any of that. And I just felt Dr. Pian is such a good sport because it was so cold, but he didn't want us to be down there and him be inside warm. Like he's a team player that way.

SPEAKER_00 13:59

He is, he is.

SPEAKER_02 14:00

Alright, so it was a little bit of a disaster sunburn. This episode is a sunburn. No, we said in that.

SPEAKER_00 14:07

We said No, it was a sun, it was sunscreen.

SPEAKER_02 14:10

Oh, also, can I ask you a question? Yeah. So what you sent me, I said that you cut out the version of what I gave to you about the go out to see Barry or why, because you thought it was too dark?

SPEAKER_00 14:24

Oh, it was dumb. In my directorial debut, I realized this is dumb. Let's get it over with.

SPEAKER_02 14:44

Oh my god. Okay. Alright, should we get to the pier? If you're watching, I highly recommend you stop watching. Because I did not brush my hair for this, okay? So anytime it goes to the side camera, I literally look like a crazy person. What?

SPEAKER_00 15:03

I was gonna say, though this was a low production value episode, it ended up being high costing. Oh, yeah, because you pay for the crack screen.

SPEAKER_02 15:14

Yeah, okay. This was a disaster. All right, let's take it to the PR. Okay, I know this one's not in my eye. Like, it's still in my eye, so we're having a rough go. Um, but there's no camera on you. Uh you're fine with that?

SPEAKER_00 15:30

Yeah, I'm fine.

SPEAKER_02 15:32

Oh, wait, is that right?

SPEAKER_00 15:36

Oh wait.

SPEAKER_02 15:38

Guys, hold on. Just so for those listening, can I just tell you what happened? So he has both cameras on me, and I I just said, but you don't have a camera on you. Now he's mic'd though, and the camera, the what he's mic'd into is a phone.

SPEAKER_03 15:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 15:53

So then he just flips off his phone. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 16:00

Can we cut to this camera?

SPEAKER_02 16:01

So you're just gonna hold that the whole time?

SPEAKER_00 16:03

Well, I'm talking.

SPEAKER_02 16:04

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 16:04

Uh pretty much I'm gonna give you a prompt and I'm gonna let you go, okay? So the prompt is you're dating a scientist. Now tell me a story where you were a scientist. Go.

SPEAKER_02 16:21

Oh. All right, so this first story I did as a tub talk, but I'll give the extended as the prompt is when I was a scientist. So in ninth grade biology class, my teacher was Mr. Bassoon Dial. And at the beginning of the semester, we each got a topic, and at the end of the semester, we were gonna have to give a 10-minute presentation and a visual presentation on your topic. So I pulled out of the hat, and my topic was growth hormone. So we had all semester, and then on the last week of the semester, five kids each day, like five kids on Monday, five kids on Tuesday, five kids on Wednesday, had to go up and give their presentation. And I had not done one single thing. I did not go to the library once, and I just figured my day was on Thursday. So I was like, I will just Wednesday go to the library, pull an old liner, make an amazing visual presentation, and give us, you know, my 10-minute, you know, oral presentation. So I see on Monday, kids went all out. I mean, they did have all semester. So I mean, people had like those triboards, you know I'm talking about, with like whatever topic they had. Wednesday night comes and goes. Thursday morning, I wake up and I remember today is my day to do the presentation. I forgot, I didn't do it Wednesday night. So I'm panicking in the morning and I'm like, mom, I don't know what to do. I have to give a presentation today, and I didn't do it. And my mom's like, Well, how long did you have to do it? And I said, All semester, and she's like, how did you leave at the last minute? Plap. I was like, mom, no time to lecture me. Take me to CVS. I need to get a poster board. So I get a poster board and a Sharpie, and I just write growth hormone, and I make three stick figures: a small one, a medium one, and a large one. This is all in front of my mom, by the way. She's just, she's at this point, I she what is she gonna do, you know? So then I go and Mr. Bassoon Dow's like, all right, Robin, yeah, he was a British accent. He's like, Robin, your turn. And so I get up there and I put my board on like the chalkboard, like little rest thing where they put the chalk and eraser. So I put my board on there, and then I said, growth hormone, it makes you from small to medium to large. Thank you. And I take my board and I sit down, and the class is obviously laughing, and Mr. Bassoon Dial does not look pleased. Like, he's so pissed. And then he just calls up the next person, he doesn't acknowledge me, nothing. So then Friday was the last group presentation, and then on Monday, he called each of us up one by one to like give us our grade and go over our presentation. And like, I'm so nervous. Obviously, I'm gonna fail. And I think it was like 70% of our final grade was going to be this the grade on this presentation. So he calls me up and he goes, Robin, and he gives me a piece of paper, and it was an A plus. And he goes, Never in my entire career teaching science have I seen a kid with more courage and guts to get up there and give a presentation on nothing with such confidence that I think this confidence is gonna take you much further than any knowledge you could have gained on the growth hormone. And I came home and I showed my mom the A, and she was like, How the hell did you pull this out? But I don't know, you just fake it till you make it, or you just completely fake it. And that was probably my most success as a scientist. Is that good?

SPEAKER_00 20:01

That was great. That was a great I think is I I know the story, but hearing it again is such a good story. Yeah. Okay, so this next part, I uh I've got five funny, interesting facts about bodies of water for you to read and inform the people.

SPEAKER_02 20:16

Alright, here is Security's five funny interesting facts about bodies of water. Did you get this from ChatGBT? I forgot to take that part out.

SPEAKER_00 20:36

I forgot to take that part out.

SPEAKER_02 20:42

Oh my god, guys. So Dr. Piano Man got a text from someone we know.

SPEAKER_00 20:47

Oh, sorry.

SPEAKER_02 20:48

Oh jeez, hand down.

SPEAKER_00 20:52

Oh no, I cracked the screen.

SPEAKER_02 20:54

Is that my mic?

SPEAKER_00 20:55

No, well it's your mic, but it's my phone.

SPEAKER_02 20:57

Did you really crack the screen? Oh no, hold on, let me zoom in. Oh no. Okay. What do you want to do?

SPEAKER_00 21:08

What?

SPEAKER_02 21:09

By the way, this is our setup if you're if you're watching, not listening. Okay. Maybe that's not a great place to balance it.

SPEAKER_00 21:18

Well, what does it matter? You can crack it out, crack it on more.

SPEAKER_02 21:25

So glad I did this episode. This is the most chaotic episode to date. I will say that. You were so upset when you broke your phone.

SPEAKER_00 21:38

I was. I know. I was upset.

SPEAKER_02 21:40

I know. And that's why we have Patreon.

SPEAKER_00 21:42

Yes. AP.

SPEAKER_02 21:45

This this month's Patreon, I will pay for what for the cost of your phone.

SPEAKER_00 21:49

It's all good.

SPEAKER_02 21:50

It's all good. But also, you did it in the most shady way.

SPEAKER_00 21:55

What do you mean?

SPEAKER_02 21:56

Okay, so getting a new phone is obviously very expensive. So security found a guy in Manhattan who comes to your apartment, does something to your phone, and 30 minutes later your screen's not cracked.

SPEAKER_00 22:13

Says the woman who goes to an underground store, gets shipments of journals that fell off a truck.

SPEAKER_02 22:24

Yeah. Yeah. Here's the thing. My journal guy and and Lewis. I'm giving away real names now. Lewis. I am so not scared of them, though. Oh, I'm not scared of this guy either. Who the one that goes to came to your house? Yeah. You never told me. All I know was ten minutes before he came, you gave me your location.

unknown 22:48

I did.

SPEAKER_02 22:50

I just said he's coming. You said if I if he kills me, you get oats. Yeah, that's true. And I, you know, I wrote, good, a win-win. Alright. So as you can see, we still don't have enough for an episode. So let's take it to the park. Where is literally the shortest of the three?

SPEAKER_00 23:08

I think the most beautiful looking.

SPEAKER_02 23:10

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 23:11

It was pretty.

SPEAKER_02 23:12

Yes, it was pretty, but we couldn't use majority of the footage because you heard people talking. But they weren't even that close. No. So why do you think we picked up their conversation so much? I uh I who knows.

SPEAKER_00 23:27

Speak to the director.

SPEAKER_02 23:28

All right, let's take it to the pond for whatever footage we can salvage. My biggest fear is that the mic is gonna fall in the water as I'm trying to get up.

SPEAKER_00 23:41

We'll have an extra mic, don't worry.

SPEAKER_02 23:43

Okay. Okay. Oh my gosh. Oh my god. This is insane. Alright, if you're listening, I'm literally climbing a rock right now so that we could film in front of the pond. Can you see the pond?

SPEAKER_00 24:07

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 24:07

Yeah, you can tell we're in front of a body of water. Oh my gosh, is this a school trip? I see there's a lot of turtles. Do you see that? My live audience. Thank you. Thank you. You too. Are you guys visiting? Yeah. Well, you're visiting. I'm from here. Oh, nice. Enjoy New York. Alright, so if you're listening, I'm currently sitting on a boulder in front of six turtles and a group of tourists from Wisconsin. Alright, let's begin this segment. Is this gonna be the third? Like, are we gonna show these in order?

SPEAKER_00 24:54

Beach, then pier, then.

SPEAKER_02 24:57

Okay, so in order. Okay. I was supposed to meet security here in the park at 11. I showed up at 1110, and I told him the reason I was late was because I took the bus uptown and it stopped, and there was a bunch of people with wheelchairs, so it took extra long. But I also showed up with a big iced coffee, Dunkin' Donuts iced coffee, and he's like, You're 10 minutes late, but you had time to get coffee. Alright, so what are we doing in this segment?

SPEAKER_00 25:20

Don't know.

SPEAKER_02 25:21

Can I say something first? This episode feels like a made-up show. Yeah. Like I feel like this episode, even though we've done four different locations, I don't think this will ever see the light of day.

SPEAKER_00 25:33

I think it might. It's all based on who your editor is.

SPEAKER_02 25:36

Okay. All right, so let's hear. What's what are we doing in this?

SPEAKER_00 25:39

Okay, the first one is called What's Worse That Could Happen.

SPEAKER_02 25:44

Have we given up the water theme?

SPEAKER_00 25:46

Well no, we still have water in the background.

SPEAKER_02 25:48

Okay, but the games have nothing to do with the water. Remember the first the beach day, you did sunburn or sundance.

SPEAKER_00 25:54

This game starts off with water. Okay, so the way it works is I see something that deals with water. One sentence. And it's something that's not good. And then you add on to it, like to the story, that makes it even worse. And then I and I add another sentence that makes it even more worse.

SPEAKER_02 26:12

So we're telling the story sentence by sentence, one taking off, and each sentence has to be worse than the other.

SPEAKER_00 26:17

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 26:17

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 26:18

So, like I'm in Central Park and I tripped and fell into the pond.

SPEAKER_02 26:24

I saw security in the pond, and I pointed and laughed.

SPEAKER_00 26:28

I tried to swim back to shore, but something started nibbling at my feet.

SPEAKER_02 26:35

Security looked down and it was a serial killer nibbling at his feet.

SPEAKER_00 26:42

And then So then I reached and grabbed for Robin, but pulled her into the water as well. Now you see how it's getting worse?

SPEAKER_02 26:52

I thought it was just getting worse for you, I have to. No, it's just overall. That's why I pointed in laugh. I thought like I was having a good time in the story. Okay, but like when you say I, does it does the I always stay with you or each sentence I don't know, I just made this up. I'm asking too many questions.

SPEAKER_00 27:21

Okay. But the good thing is I did not ask Chat GPT for I made this one up myself. I can tell.

SPEAKER_02 27:30

Alright, click on home.

SPEAKER_00 27:32

Let's go home.

SPEAKER_02 27:32

Alright. Do you think we have enough for an episode? You know what's good about that one? What?

SPEAKER_00 27:39

This one, nothing fell.

SPEAKER_02 27:41

That's true. Except our careers. Down the toilet. Do you think we have enough for an episode? Well, people are listening to this. They do. We definitely have a lot for Patreon. You know why I think this is an episode?

SPEAKER_01 27:55

Why?

SPEAKER_02 27:55

Okay, well, actually, I need to I need to watch. You need to edit it, and I need to see if there's an episode. Okay, let's just say there is this isn't an episode. What do we do this week? We replay an episode.

SPEAKER_00 28:05

We replay.

SPEAKER_02 28:07

We just download like one of the earlier episodes. I guess that's the thing about podcasts versus like TV shows. They can't do reruns.

SPEAKER_00 28:16

No, because all that you have to do is just scroll back up.

SPEAKER_02 28:21

Oh my god, that'd be so funny. But like, hey guys, today's episode is a rerun of last week's episode and we just redownloaded. All right. Should we call for motherly advice? But stop right there. Make sure if you're watching on YouTube, you subscribe, like, leave a nice comment. If you're listening on the podcast apps, leave a five-star review, write something nice. And of course, if you'd like to become a Patreon, see some behind the scenes, cut live streams, or be a producer on the podcast, head over to Patreon and type in Robin Shoel or shall we talk? Or just scroll down. Oh, also, you have less than two weeks for calendars. We're taking them down on April 15th.

SPEAKER_00 29:05

Correct.

SPEAKER_02 29:06

Should I show it? Oh, you know what? Can you just put a picture here? Put a picture here. Put a picture here. High quality, great colors. Everyone's loving it. Go look at the reviews. Everyone is saying, like, these calendars are so like pretty and good quality. And the best part of it is when that month is done, you have a piece of Robin art. So it's a 10 out of 10. All right, let's quote Mama Shaw, get our producer shout outs and some motherly advice.

SPEAKER_01 29:34

Hi. Hi, Mom. Let me get my get ready. Get all my notes out.

SPEAKER_02 29:40

All right. Well, remember, first we're gonna do our producer shout outs.

SPEAKER_01 29:44

We want to thank all the Patreons, and I want to give a shout-out to those in the producer tier. We have Susan Santoro, Veronica and Deanna, Tamar Fix, Thomas Ives, and Dr. Piano Man.

SPEAKER_02 30:00

It's a really nice, chunky list of producers, right?

SPEAKER_01 30:04

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 30:05

This is very exciting. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 30:06

Yeah. No, I just want to say I want to thank all the Patreons for their support for you and for the art.

SPEAKER_02 30:15

You know what I like? Even though you have a script, you you your cadence was very good. Like, do you know what I mean? Like, you weren't just reading, you were feeling.

SPEAKER_01 30:25

Oh, absolutely. Because I really mean this.

SPEAKER_02 30:28

I know. Well, Security broke his phone while filming, and I just offered to pay for it out of our Patreon money.

SPEAKER_01 30:35

Oh, how nice.

SPEAKER_02 30:36

Yeah. So if you're wondering, where does the Patreon money go? It goes to Security's new phone. And that's not true. We also bought new mics. Yeah, it really does go to the podcast. So to all of our Patreon. Oh, when we were filming by the pier, he rested his phone on the tripod like thingy and it fell and cracked.

unknown 30:58

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 30:59

So I just really want to thank all the Patreons, really, because you you're helping this high production.

SPEAKER_01 31:06

And listen, I really enjoy when you did um, you know, behind the scenes, and a lot of them were there, and it was conversation with the colour.

SPEAKER_02 31:16

Oh no, you're talking about the live stream.

SPEAKER_01 31:18

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 31:19

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 31:20

But those are for the all the Patreons.

SPEAKER_02 31:22

Yeah, well, those are the shoulettes and choleramas.

SPEAKER_01 31:25

Yeah. So I I mean, so those that's a lot of fun. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 31:29

So there's four different tiers. One tier could get you the videos, you know, behind the scenes, and then there's a tier that gets you into live streams. There is something for everyone.

SPEAKER_01 31:40

Really? And I just want to say that it's a lot of fun.

SPEAKER_02 31:44

All right. You ready for your motherly advice? Yes. What?

SPEAKER_00 31:48

Motherly advice.

SPEAKER_02 31:49

Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Security didn't like how I said that. What? Security didn't think I introduced it well enough.

unknown 31:57

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 31:58

Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on. All right, mom, here we go for your motherly advice.

SPEAKER_01 32:05

Yeah, um, it's just come to my attention that sometimes when plans have to be changed and people get upset. And I just want to remind people that, first of all, and one of the things that Papa Shawle is always saying, life is a curveball. I know it's a baseball metaphor, but it means that things happen. And what you plan doesn't always happen. And not to get upset, there's different things that you can do. Uh, you know, like if you wanted to go somewhere, but you can't get there because of transportation, so then you have to either postpone it or what is it, work around it. I think you just, you know, don't just get so angry.

SPEAKER_02 32:54

Like this episode, we wanted to do it by the beach. We then watched it, it was not good. So then we filmed by the pier, and then that was not good, so we filmed by the park, and then that was not good.

SPEAKER_01 33:08

So where did you end up filming it?

SPEAKER_02 33:10

You're listening to it right now. But we didn't get upset, we pivoted.

SPEAKER_01 33:17

And like I always also another thing I said is don't concentrate on the problem, concentrate on a solution.

SPEAKER_02 33:26

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. That deserves a bell. Oh, geez. All right, thanks, mom. Okay, have a good day. All right, love you. Love you, love you guys. Oh, and that was our motherly advice. I love you, buddy.

SPEAKER_00 33:51

Sorry, I was directing.

SPEAKER_02 33:53

You know what it is? I don't think this episode's error. If you can make an episode, if you can make an episode and there's at least 10 comments saying this episode actually wasn't that bad. Okay. All right. All right, guys. Thank you everyone for being here. If you made it this far. And if you'd like to join Patreon, the link is below.
