This is comedy4cast, episode 766, Ghost of a Second Chance, 4 00:00:19,546 --> 00:00:24,504 brought to you by the totally awesome comedy4cast Patreon patrons. 5 00:00:25,026 --> 00:00:25,791 Thank you. 6 00:00:29,426 --> 00:00:39,426 Like, I really thought it got dark earlier than this. I've been in the sunlight for like three minutes already. 7 00:00:40,150 --> 00:00:41,833 Not cool. 8 00:00:43,426 --> 00:00:57,380 Like, focus, Cindy. You have to get down there before anyone like, notices this secret way into the tunnels. 9 00:00:59,426 --> 00:01:03,970 Hi! Danny Hillcrest here. Like... Ah! 10 00:01:04,426 --> 00:01:13,426 Ahhhhh! Why are you screaming? Sorry, I have a needfully unhealthy desire to fit in with the pack. 11 00:01:13,746 --> 00:01:22,298 Like FOMO? Wow, same to you! Like, what are you doing here, Danny? 12 00:01:22,487 --> 00:01:29,426 I was on my way to that letterbox format drop-off container over there to mail a reworked holiday movie script to Netflix. 13 00:01:29,426 --> 00:01:35,730 Hallmark and Lifetime rejected the Christmas-formatted version, so I did a slight tweak. 14 00:01:36,226 --> 00:01:41,226 My hot new take is that it's the story of two star-crossed florists who accidentally 15 00:01:41,226 --> 00:01:42,985 swap Google calendars. 16 00:01:43,544 --> 00:01:50,790 I call it Valentine's Day and Date. I sure hope they love this one. 17 00:01:51,024 --> 00:01:53,581 I'm running out of copy typing paper. 18 00:01:53,946 --> 00:02:05,293 What are you doing here? Oh, like I was just, uh, making sure this hatch didn't lead to, like, the river stix. 19 00:02:05,545 --> 00:02:12,426 I love it! And don't worry, it's just a hush-your-mouth secret entrance to the library in the tunnels. 20 00:02:12,426 --> 00:02:17,059 You should know that. You own them. Okay, bye! 21 00:02:17,426 --> 00:02:19,926 Like, okay. 22 00:02:20,926 --> 00:02:35,082 Time to do this. Like, with all the power gone, it's pitch black down here in the library. 23 00:02:35,926 --> 00:02:38,538 And like, deadly silent. 24 00:02:39,943 --> 00:02:40,510 Cool. 25 00:02:43,670 --> 00:02:50,061 Like, bummer. Maybe I'd better go... 26 00:02:50,443 --> 00:03:06,923 Like, wow. Books are way more brittle than I thought. Maybe this is like a metaphor for how fragile our like, right to read, whatever... 27 00:03:07,733 --> 00:03:12,954 Like, maybe... I'd better use the flashlight. 28 00:03:14,323 --> 00:03:25,083 Like all the books are still here. Well, except for the ones that Romeo Sykes wrote about the spheres. 29 00:03:27,963 --> 00:03:34,363 Like I knew the creepy, bizarre quiet was like too good to last. 30 00:03:34,363 --> 00:03:38,363 Like, that sounds like Princess. 31 00:03:38,363 --> 00:03:47,363 Like, I didn't know you were still down here, 32 00:03:47,613 --> 00:03:49,363 like, doing your route. 33 00:03:50,034 --> 00:03:53,104 I mean, like, there's no one here. 34 00:03:53,860 --> 00:04:02,341 Wait, Princess, you can give me a ride to, like, the other end of the tunnels. 35 00:04:05,365 --> 00:04:15,124 It may be like the last time though. I think I have to like close the tunnels. 36 00:04:15,363 --> 00:04:28,363 Like, hey princess, this isn't, like, the other end of the tunnels. 37 00:04:28,363 --> 00:04:31,363 Like this is just the underdome. 38 00:04:33,363 --> 00:04:35,363 What's that noise? 39 00:04:37,363 --> 00:04:48,363 I hope it's not, like, ghosts. Ghosts are the worst. Like way too bright and shiny. 40 00:04:49,918 --> 00:04:55,355 Is that like a light on? Way over there in Buzz's tunnel radio station? 41 00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:06,163 Now I'm going to have to like walk all the way over there. Like all that sunshine 42 00:05:06,163 --> 00:05:11,127 wasn't enough, now I have to like exercise too? 43 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:26,000 This is so not cool. Music. Like, at least Buzz's playlist 44 00:05:26,287 --> 00:05:27,858 has, like, improved. 45 00:05:30,858 --> 00:05:36,504 Basically, hey Cindy. Like Lenny? Are you delivering my pizza? That rocks. 46 00:05:41,672 --> 00:05:45,831 But basically, can you loan me a few bucks so I can tip you? 47 00:05:47,073 --> 00:05:50,858 What are you doing in here? Basically rocking out. 48 00:05:53,519 --> 00:06:05,858 Rocking out done. Like, no. I mean, everyone else left months ago after all the, like, spheres floated away. 49 00:06:06,356 --> 00:06:11,622 Basically, oh, that's why no one ever told me to turn down my tunes. 50 00:06:11,858 --> 00:06:18,858 Basically, I was beginning to worry that I had accidentally tapped into the public zeitgeist. 51 00:06:18,858 --> 00:06:24,783 Like, I think I'm going to have to, like, ask you to leave. 52 00:06:25,089 --> 00:06:36,858 Are you basically the man now? Like, no. I'm the woman. And, like, I have to shut down the tunnels. 53 00:06:36,858 --> 00:06:42,788 Basically, why? Aren't you down with the idea of using this place for art? 54 00:06:42,858 --> 00:06:44,237 That's not it. 55 00:06:44,778 --> 00:06:54,068 Didn't you notice that the spheres that used to like power the tunnels are like all gone? Basically, no. 56 00:06:54,418 --> 00:06:59,874 I was busy doing The Basically Podcast Show, which is my show. 57 00:07:00,458 --> 00:07:07,148 And by the way, you've been gone so long, I basically may have to replace you as my co-host. 58 00:07:07,832 --> 00:07:14,521 Sorry. Sorry, podcasting is a pretty intense business. Like Lenny? 59 00:07:15,367 --> 00:07:21,840 You have to go. But basically, I just got settled into this new studio. 60 00:07:22,380 --> 00:07:26,575 Why don't you just basically use the tunnels for something new? 61 00:07:26,827 --> 00:07:28,312 Like what? 62 00:07:28,636 --> 00:07:37,081 Basically, I don't know. Basically, Nomad 451 just sent me an instant message. 63 00:07:37,636 --> 00:07:49,153 Like wait, since when do phones work down here? Basically, I think ever since the spheres left, the message says you should think about 64 00:07:49,276 --> 00:07:50,692 using the underdome. 65 00:07:51,205 --> 00:07:58,452 Like, for what? It's like a big, empty, mile-wide underground rotunda. 66 00:07:58,636 --> 00:08:02,116 Basically, how about a parking lot? 67 00:08:02,305 --> 00:08:03,088 Like Lenny. 68 00:08:03,476 --> 00:08:09,036 Why would anyone go someplace to like, just park in the dark? 69 00:08:09,183 --> 00:08:13,796 Basically, you missed out on a lot as a teen, didn't you? 70 00:08:13,796 --> 00:08:26,062 But also, basically, back in the day, people would go to drive-in movies to basically drive in and see a movie. 71 00:08:26,236 --> 00:08:29,051 Basically you could show movies 24 hours a day. 72 00:08:29,969 --> 00:08:39,160 I'm exhausted saying that. Like, this place is so big. Basically, how big is it? 73 00:08:39,356 --> 00:08:42,815 I could put in like six screens. 74 00:08:43,396 --> 00:08:50,791 I thought that'd be more of a punchline to that setup. But like there's a big problem, Lenny. 75 00:08:51,116 --> 00:08:53,186 The idea that cinema is dead? 76 00:08:53,676 --> 00:09:00,883 Like no, there's no power down here to like run projectors and stuff. 77 00:09:01,116 --> 00:09:03,943 Basically, oh yeah, bummer. 78 00:09:04,316 --> 00:09:09,316 Like, wait, Lenny, how come you have power? 79 00:09:10,676 --> 00:09:18,572 When everything went dark, I went looking for candles or snacks or snacks I could light on fire. 80 00:09:19,463 --> 00:09:26,350 I didn't find any, but I did find some hallways down here where the wind is basically pretty intense. 81 00:09:27,156 --> 00:09:32,589 So I set up a bunch of windmills and they basically generate a lot of power. 82 00:09:33,356 --> 00:09:41,627 See? Like, cool. Maybe this could work. 83 00:09:42,236 --> 00:09:48,595 But like, what do I call a drive-in in a big round space in a tunnel? 84 00:09:48,956 --> 00:09:51,313 Theaters in the underground? 85 00:09:51,676 --> 00:09:58,794 Day for night drive-ins? Basically, Nomad 451 has an idea. 86 00:09:59,196 --> 00:10:00,082 Like what? 87 00:10:00,596 --> 00:10:02,062 CineRoundadome. 88 00:10:02,996 --> 00:10:08,949 Like, cool. That idea rocks.
