Hi. My darling. It's so late. It's actually 7pm.
It's said, oh, fucking hey. This day really zipped by. Yeah, I guess. For me.
I didn't set a foot outside. No wonder I have a vitamin D deficiency. I know. I'm starting to realize that.
Now that I'm back and I'm home and working and just entering the cave and just not leaving. You literally squirrell yourself away. I really do. I go days without sunshine.
I know. You're like, oh God, what is that? It's out there, baby. It was hot today.
You didn't even know. Nope. I was like, whoa. Hello.
Steamy. It was really steamy. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
As a result, there was some things that happened. Can I tell you about what happened? What? Or is there something?
Sorry, I have an itch on my nose. But can I tell you about what I did? Yes. I'm steamy.
You did something? Yes. Please. No.
The heart is beating a little faster. It's really not great, actually. It has nothing to do with me. It was something that affected me.
That the local town cinema, Greenfield Garden, Greenfield, the garden. The garden in Greenfield. Yeah. And which I feel really lucky that we have a movie theater so close to us.
I just want to say that. It's a rare thing. It's a small town movie theater. I really enjoy that.
The town with the marquee. Mm-hmm. The whole thing. Really, really sweet employees, by the way.
These really sweet kids work in there and we chatted about her little badges she was wearing. It was adorable. So Sarah and I went to see this movie that was written by a local woman. Really?
You'll have to interject her name later. But the name of the movie is Janet Planet. And I don't know if it's nationwide release, but it takes place in Western Mass and she's from Western Mass. She's from Leverate, I believe, Groove and Leverate.
Yeah, any paper. But is primarily a playwright, I think. A Pulitzer Prize winning playwright. And so she wrote this film.
It's fantastic. The movie is so good. I loved it. I really, really loved it.
But so, oh. Oh. Oh. They can have Western Mass.
This is my Northfield Mount Herman Bell. The distinctive sound of the small bell indicates it's time for another unsponsored local ad. Unsponsored local ad. I wasn't sure if you wanted me to say it.
Well, it's been a while. You're going to want to listen to this and you're going to want to listen close. That's the sound of a deer field. A quality piece of leather that fits around your waist.
You're going to want to see how cheap these belts are. They're cheaper than they should be. They are quality belts. But a deer field belt in both black and brown, you don't need a reversible belt.
You just have two belts, two sturdy belts. You're going to want to wear this belt. There are many sizes to choose from. There is no need.
You have a big flap belt flopping at your waistline. Hang in there. You're going to want to listen to this. A thick piece of quality leather with just as many holes as you need.
No more. You're going to want to smell this. You're going to want to feel that. Available now at.
Available now at. The Greenfield Farmers Go On Federal Street in Greenfield, Massachusetts. Isn't this route too? It's on High Street.
So many things wrong back, Marshall. And also, I would like to say. Hey, my hand's why it's so terrible. Okay.
Maybe there could be a do over. We can just keep trying to perfect this ad as long as it takes. I just thought I had to start doing it. It's just began.
It's just began. We've been threatening to do this. I've wanted to do this commercial for this belt for a long time. And then I just didn't really like, I wasn't at 100% as far as my inspiration went.
But today I was like, well, I'm just going to do it. So I spent all day today inside working on my vitamin D deficiency, making it terrible. Unsponsored political ad. And the really the most unfortunate thing is it's going to reoccur several times throughout this episode.
Well, let me say, let me say a couple of things. You said the smell of quality leather smell is a part of my story. So can we circle back before we come back to the Deerfield belt? So yes or no.
Let's talk about the film that you're talking about. Okay, so Janet Planet. Let me don't let me ruin any more than I have and will. Okay, so if you're happy to pass through Western Mass and you've got like a nice little afternoon, go see a movie there.
It's a really nice place to spend some time. The garden cinema. Yeah. And so the theater, great.
Okay, what happened was we get in there and it's one of the smaller theaters because it's like a little indie film, I think. And like in the theater next door was I think like the quiet place part for some shit like that. And I could kind of hear the booming rumbling like through the walls. But that's either neither here nor there.
I think so. Yeah, it's about like you get murdered if you talk or some shit. And I can't even think about it more than that. So sitting down, we come in there, it's almost empty.
It's almost empty. There's like a few gray haired people in there, some locals, you know, that's kind of the Greenfield cinema experience, my experience. Yes. I generally see a movie mostly with like maybe four or five other people, maybe.
And this is going to be my wrong impression. Okay. Just that someone who when we first originally chose our seats near the back, we were seated directly behind two people. Are you going to say what I think you're going to say?
Oh my God. I just really? I don't know. What do you think I'm going to say?
Is it about farts? No, but it is about smells. Yeah. And you just said someone and I was like, someone I was like, it's just so sad.
And I sit down and we both kind of like automatically realize we're immediately overwhelmed by a waft. Really intense waft. And remember today, even the loon never left his squirrel, little house, it was hot out here in Greenfield, hot and muggy. And someone's body needs a checkup, perhaps and a wash.
And I'm just going to say some clinical, you know, possibly clinical, great, possibly be having a yeast infection. I don't know. I don't know. I'm sorry.
That's very raw. But smell was like choking. Are you like, are you like nautical? Is it not?
It was more like deeply strongly, musty mixed with like polyester? I don't know. So I don't know if they're wearing like polyester panties or say, you mean just like regular B.O kind of sweaty? No, like sweaty pussy.
I don't know. Like a really really sweaty pussy that needs a shower. I don't know. But it's not like a sexy sweaty.
Mm. That means like, you know, I know what you mean. I know what you mean. It means like a fishy con.
It was not. It was more just, it wasn't quite that tang, but it still was strong and it was very distinct. And Sarah and I almost, we were like, Oh, God, should we maybe move like, should we move or like, do you think? Well, yeah, let's just try another seat.
So we did. We moved like to the front basically of the theater and had no one else in front of us. And it was better. But Sarah, of course, like she had this like little roll on essential oil, like thing, and she pulled out right away and we like, you know, gave ourselves something to breathe, like just to kind of like clear the air and, you know, like start over.
Like, here we are. Okay. And then the, the previews are going. And so, you know, how they go from like, it's very loud in there to all of a sudden, it's very quiet, you know, and if you happen to be talking during a preview and you don't like time, your words super great, like something you say might be heard in the entire theater.
So Sarah said something like, it was just basically like the smell of that, like vagina and then vagina was like so loud. It was like the quiet part. And we were like, yes, yes, in agreement, something was off. And, and someone should just really, you know, I was re-worried.
I was a little concerned. It seemed, yeah, like maybe, maybe then you're an antibiotic. I don't know, I don't know, guys, but like a shower for sure, and possibly cotton underwear and fresh air, I don't, I don't know, but, so yeah, so that's, that's what happened today. But then we saw a fantastic movie.
Well, you know what? Thank you for not telling me immediately about this. You're welcome. I waited.
I waited. I held on to this job. Saving it, not just for me, but so we all could collectively hear the story of the sweaty pussy. Yeah, it was in Burleigh was, in Burleigh, Massachusetts.
I also detected some pencil shavings, you know that smell, that particular smell, like when someone's armpit kind of hits that pencil shaving smell, I don't, I just, why aren't we showering? What's happening? Like, it's okay to rinse off, right? Honey.
Come on, please. Not everybody knows to shower and some people just don't. I know, okay. I just, well, you know, we are all, I am who I am and others are who they are, who they are who I can't even talk about.
It made me unsettled. You're clean, you're clean person. I like a clean. You like a clean.
I do. You do. You do. I'm not so clean.
Oh, but. The distinctive sound of the tiny bell indicates. It's time for another unspombed local ad. It's okay.
It's okay. Get your stuff. No, I mean, is it happening again? Quick question.

Available now at the Greenfield Farmers Co-op on Federal Street in Greenfield, Massachusetts. It is on business route too. It is not on, why did I say that? It's on High Street.
Literally on High Street. Down the High Street. For Thomas. We pass it daily.
On High Street. It's the street that runs parallel to the mountain there. It runs parallel to Federal. It does, but it's the High Street.
It's the highest main street as you move towards the Greenfield Ridge. I don't know what they call it. Wow. I don't know why you said Federal Street.
That's wild. Isn't it weird? What are they going to do with that ad? They can't even advertise with that ad because you got this straight wrong.
Well, you know what? I wanted to get it out of the way. We've been talking about it so much. It's been a while since we really honored something local.
I know and I want to do it right and I want to have the time and just the full compulsion record just came out. You're leaving tomorrow. I know. To go visit your parents for July 4th.
You're going back to Skyne. Yeah. John Davis is arriving tomorrow. Yes, we're switching spots.
I'm leaving and John Davis is coming. I got this kind of like roiling kind of nervousness in my chest and I just thought, you know, I do have to do. I've got to do an unsponsored local ad. It's been long enough.
Goddamn it. It really has. It really has. And I feel like I just I'm like, you know, I'll just do what I did back in the day from season one.
I just did it. I didn't think about it. I just did it. Let's I can I can I say that that one really showed that I didn't think about.
You just did it. Terrible. Well, we're going to do let's say we're going to do an amended one. We'll do an amended one that I would also love to contribute to because now I am now also a proud owner of a Deerfield leather belt.
You were originally the first and then you were like, Hey, babe, you need about this is your this is literally your only belt you need. And can I just say one thing about a word you used? What what? Yes, please.
Because you know words matter. They make you think of things. And as a designer, I would like to say that I don't often think of the word cheap in quality is going hand in hand. I would say this.
It's inexpensive and it's quality. So cheap to me means not well made, poor material, leather. Well, so maybe we could amend that as well in the in the new version, not say cheap. Yeah.
Okay. But do we really honest to God want to continue this deer field? Yes. I thought not the Deerfield Leathers and it's actually a Deerfield, New Hampshire.
I thought it was in Maine. I thought the belts were made in Maine. I thought it was Vermont. No, it's Maine.
It's New Hampshire. No, it's Maine. It's New Hampshire. I think they're made in Maine though, right?
Made in Maine? Yes, like there might be designed in New Hampshire, but they're constructed, I believe in Maine. We have to go back down to the Greenfield Farmers' Co-op, which is on High Street. And we will look at the tag because the tag will have the information.
It's East Coast based, guys. It's a local made in the USA belt. Real leather. It's bad ass.
It's literally a really good belt. I did really want to take time and really point out that the belt was great. Yes. But what I did do today, and what I spent the vast majority of my day doing that commercial, that local unsponsored ad is subpar.
It's not good. And I could have used your help. Well. But I forged on.
I wanted to have something special to base this episode around. You had no idea what I was going to give to you. I didn't know, because the sneaky pussy story is great. It's good.
I'm just still, I'm blown away. Is there anything else that you need to add to that story? Well, I'm trying to think. I mean, you know, it just, no.
Except it was just a lovely date. And I'm glad that my friend and I found another location within the theater to enjoy the movie. And we did. And so that's lovely.
So don't let that deter you from going to the Greenfield Garden Cinema. The smell, because it wasn't the cinema. It was, you know, attendees can be anywhere with their choice, their body choices anyway. So, you know, but I wanted to bring up something else that I was really curious about to get your opinion on.
And I'm looking at my phone because it's on my phone. Okay. So I saw this thing that said, and this is so funny because another person just also brought this up to me the other day. It's official.
The summer belongs to hot rodent men. Have you heard of this that now there's like a, like a certain type of look that they're calling like rodent man, like kind of like a more like pronounced nose, you know, they're saying like there's a certain look of certain guys that they're like, yeah, yeah, like they're saying it used to be like maybe more of a chiseled face like a Brad Pitt or Chris Hemsworth. But now it's more of a pointy angular with big ears. They come off as edgy and elusive.
I thought that women thought that that was the look at the national mousy man with a toothy smile. What do you think of that? Do you because okay, I'm going to show you to me that that's like all the because I do well, I've always thought that women seem to like men that look like rat boys. Yeah, like the rodent man.
Yeah, like kind of handsome rats. Handsome rats. You know, a little bit dangerous. Kind of the kind of the kind of edgy thing to it.
They look a little fucked up. Maybe they got hit by a baseball bat at some point, but they just but in a great way. Yeah, taller. Not always.
Well, some of these hot rodent men they're speaking of are they look short to me. Like one of the men that they're saying is like the one the leader of the rodent pack is the guy from the bear, you know, the lead the chef. Yeah, because he's got like kind of an angular. Yeah, true.
True that. Anyway, so you know who else is on the list? Adrian Brody. Yeah, yeah, he's a hot rodent man.
Yeah. So anyway, I was just going to put no one's ever put an aim to it, but I've always felt that way. Yeah, I've always thought that the the rodents, the rats, there's room for them. Oh, it seems to really like them.
I think they're more I think kind of like the more messed up they look the more dark circles it like it makes. Yeah, I don't know what it triggers exactly. And maybe it's just like it means it's kind of mysterious to be licensed to be, you know, kind of like sleazy with I mean, the guy kind of like is handing and he's like, it's going to be okay. You know, nothing.
I mean, it's like no shame here. No shame. It's an interesting look. Yeah.
I mean, with me into my to my I'm like, am I intimidated by that look or do I like that look? I think you I will say that you don't seem to favor the rodents. You don't. Right.
Although I can't pinpoint what you do find attractive. You baby. That's all that matters to me. Yeah.
Otherwise, it's like, okay, you like me? Good. I wear my dear field belt all the time when I'm riding and when I'm right, because we're always going somewhere. You're gonna want to feel there.
You're gonna want to inhabit your space. Nothing says I'm here and there and anywhere I need to be like a sturdy belt. These are happy belts. You're gonna want to smell it and you're gonna want to hear that snap.
That's the snap that says you're gonna want to listen to me. You're gonna want a deer field belt. And you're gonna want to know where to get them. You can buy your deer field belt for American cash at the Greenfield Farmers Co-op.
That's the place that they sell baby chicks in the spring. Available now at the Greenfield Farmers Co-op. High street. High street.
High street. High street. Yes, again. Well, you know what we should do.
We're definitely going to continue the story of the deer field belt. What do you need? What happened? Come in here.
Someone's creeping behind us. Oh, okay. It's good timing because it's time to end the episode, I think. Are you showing off Snuggle Bunny?
That's Izzy's special. Her special thing. Her little special lovey. Are you snuggle bunny kissing the mic?
No, she's talking to the mic. She's talking. What is she saying? She's saying something.
Something. That the people who are hearing this are going to say what they think. Raw information. I'm sorry, why did you say that?
My father like daughter. That was a real scramble. Just nonsense. What happened?
