    So wait you’re saying that Camelia growers are from Mars? I’m confused.

    Great show. How much do you guys drink when you record?

    It was somewhat jarring to realize that Francis learned what a tontine was by watching the Simpsons.

    What is the opening and closing music to the show?

    Ah, where to start, where to start…

    Jake: We drink a lot. But what, I’m not telling.

    Ivana: If you think I joined the Auburn Opelika Camellia Growers Society to grow camellias, I respectfully suggest you listen to the show again.

    Neil: by “jarring,” I assume you meant “I always thought ‘The Simpsons’ was way over Francis’ head!”

    Oh, and Neil: the song is called ‘Glide,’ and it is written and performed, naturally, by the WRI house band. Sort of.

    I’ve been to Monrovia. There’s definitely no martians there. No humans either. Something vague and inbetween and kind of beige…

    Neil, I didn’t learn what a tontine was from the Simpsons. But you might say that my expectations of what a tontine could do for me were SHAPED by the Simpsons.

    I heard the other day that a lot of places in the Inland Empire made somebody’s top 100 list of best places to live. I don’t know if Monrovia was among them, but what is the world coming to?

    Also, LA was number 8. So maybe this list was complied by–wait for it–Martians!

    What is this Inland Empire that I always hear about? With all those “best places to live” it sounds kind of magical, is it a sort of Shangri-La?

    Ah, the Inland Empire. It is here where it was first observed “my, the air pollution really does make the sunsets prettier!” Plus, the Inland Empire takes pride in itself as “the ORIGINAL crystal meth disaster zone.” Tract housing, Indian Casinos, and breathtaking amounts of low-lying ozone… for all this and more, we love the Inland Empire, and as we pass through it as fast as our cars can go, on our way to perhaps more glamorous but no more interesting destinations, we, in our own private ways, salute you, oh Inland Empire. Don’t ever change!
