Okay, so do you think that's real?
Do you think mediums are real?
I think there are people that have a connection with the spiritual world, for
sure.
Especially John Edwards with the Long Island medium.
A lot of people who watch this show know one of my only sources of media input
is the reality
series Seven Little Johnsons, which I watch a lot of.
You get the news from it, or it's just entertainment?
Both.
You follow social trends?
Oh, yeah, really.
You're like, oh, yeah, people are into that song nowadays.
I saw it on Seven Little Johnsons.
Have you watched the show at all?
You saw the clip of them on the ropes course.
The show is amazing.
Because it's a family of dwarves, and the show's been on for eight years now.
And every single episode, they just do like a summer camp activity.
And then the dad ends up breaking something.
And then they have to pay somebody to fix it.
It's like, that's every episode.
They'll do like a talent show.
They're like, well, yeah, exactly.
They're like, we're having, we're doing, we're doing, we're doing a limbo.
What is it called?
Limbo bar?
Yeah, limbo.
Limbo.
Yeah, we're doing a limbo bar.
We've got a limbo game set up in the front yard, and then Trent's going to try
and repair the grandfather clock in the living room.
And then he burns down the living room.
The fire department has to come, and they have to hire a professional clock
repairer.
And he's like, uh...
Why is the dad so clumsy in this little person show?
I think the issue is because it's, they're also Southern.
And I think the...
I think he's like a good old boy.
Yeah.
Well, I got the impression, this is rude, but, uh, because we do want them on
the show.
But I...
Careful.
Yeah, you get the sense he's one of those, like, Southern guys that's like,
well, I'm the dad, so I'm good at stuff.
Yeah.
And then...
But he also has a disability that makes it harder to do a lot of things.
Yeah, I don't think that that...
Because it's never like...
It's not about reaching for something high.
It's never like, look at the...
Yeah, right, exactly.
All the good tools are on the top shelf.
I don't know.
Look at all those knives on the top shelf.
One of the first episodes, he's, like, making furniture for the living room,
and he's just getting chairs, like, like, chairs from the dump.
Oh, okay.
And then he's just screwing casters into the bottom.
But he must put...
I guess maybe...
It could be...
Yeah, it could be the way it's edited.
But he's just filling the bottom of the thing with drywall screws going into,
you know, like, whatever.
Into wood, yeah.
A lot of times, I mean, it's not even wood.
It's just the, the, uh, whatever is underneath an office chair.
Okay, yeah.
So what is that, like, ABS plastic?
Oh, yeah, sure, okay.
And so he's just, he's just tossing screws in there.
Yeah, while he's explaining to his daughter's, uh, sex.
Is there, is there a Birds and the Bees episode?
Yeah, I think they have to...
How old are the kids in the show?
Well, the show, like I said, the show's been on for a long time.
So they go from young to old.
They have two...
You see them grow up.
They have two biological children.
But I guess having biological children is, like, the mom almost dies every time.
Because she's the size of a baby anyways.
So...
She's much smaller, yeah.
Yeah.
So, like, they, because, you know, they don't, they come out...
The birth canal is smaller, yeah, I imagine.
Well, their bones, their skeletons are.
Mm-hmm.
So, like, her legs have to, you know, like, her whole pelvis has to separate, I
guess.
Anyway, um, so then they have three adopted children.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
And they adopt also little, little children, little people, children.
Yeah.
Um, yeah, maybe the, the producers are kind of, like, kind of in...
Yeah, there's one where the dad says, uh, we're gonna chop down a tree in the
front yard.
There's a tree in the front yard.
They're just imperiling this family?
Well, yeah, he's like, you know, I don't know, they do, like, a sock hop, and
then he's like,
I'm gonna chop down the tree in the front yard.
They have a nice house?
And when the show starts, they don't.
They, like, bought some, like, old house to renovate, and so they're all
sleeping on the
floor.
Really?
Yeah, and they're, like, no work has been done renovating this house.
And then I think they got, the show was a hit, and so they got money from TLC,
either through
merchandising or something, because then shortly after that, they just, they
become rich off
the show.
Now they're rich.
Their house is nice now.
Yeah.
In the current season.
Are they, are they Christ-fearing?
Uh, I don't see them going to church.
They don't go to church.
Yeah.
They're not religious, evangelicals.
I know.
Yeah.
But, uh, um, what was I gonna say?
Oh, yeah.
So there's an episode where he goes to chop down a tree in the front yard, and
then what
ends up happening, and, because his day job is he's the groundskeeper at a
local college.
He is.
Yeah.
So he's like, I, you know, I mean, I do landscaping.
I can, I can, I think I can manage chopping down a tree.
That would make sense.
And what happens is he, uh, he sets his car on fire, and then the fire is on
fire.
He knows?
Yeah.
How?
Uh, well, he has his wife put the truck in, like, reverse to pull the tree, and
then it's
just sitting there.
Are the pedals the car, like, race so they can, they add bolt, they add their
own bolts.
He drills a hole into the, into the pedals, and then so they have, like,
The pedals are like stilts.
They have stilts built into the pedals.
And then I guess it's just sitting there, and the transmission heats up, and
this car's,
truck's parked on a pile of leaves.
Oh, classic.
And then they have to hire landscapers to come out and cut the tree down, and
then they go
new car shopping.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So how is he a landscaper professionally?
Huh?
I mean, how is he a landscaper professionally at a college?
Well, I imagine they just put, like, a big propeller beanie on his head, and he
kind of
walks around the lawn.
Maybe a jet pack, perhaps.
Yeah.
A propeller beanie would.
Yeah, and then he just walks through the grass.
Kind of Inspector Gadget style.
No, he doesn't fly.
He just walks, and it cuts the grass.
Oh, okay.
Also, it's quite sharp.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Is there, I mean, if I was that size, I would, you know, as a younger man, I
would.
Why do you keep trying to be rude to these people?
I'm not being rude to these people.
I'm just, I'm interested in.
You're making cheap jokes.
I'm not taking cheap shots.
First, if you start this episode off mocking Kenny.
I did not mock Kenny.
No, I didn't.
This is a fucking tragedy.
I did not mock Kenny.
You don't like Kenny because he's tall, and you don't like these people because
they're
shorter than you.
I never said that.
I never said that.
