RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

Attribution unavailableSource excerpt ↗ 12:26–12:35

Cart? Stilts. What, her brother calls her? That's like incestuous. I don't think he can do that, can he? That's a familial nickname. Yeah, that's true. I rescind it.

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

Brad, can you do better? Yeah, I mean, I think I can. I would go with international. What? Yep, because it is not a name in any way. And it really doesn't make any sense besides the fact that she's not from America. So I would go international. And it's very long. Like the flight over from Ireland. Manchester, England. And what I like is very long nicknames. You do?

  • What pet name should Niles go with?

But what if that story was condensed into a single film? And what if that film was marketed from a single trailer? Let's find out in a trailer for Niles. Is that the name of the bit? Uh, that's what I went with. We're always willing to brainstorm if we've got pitches. Sideniles. Oh, that's not as bad as I was expecting for someone who can't say equestrian.…

Uh, that's what I went with. We're always willing to brainstorm if we've got pitches. Sideniles. Oh, that's not as bad as I was expecting for someone who can't say equestrian. Sideniles is actually pretty damn good. All right, redo the intro with Sideniles. Yeah, redo the whole thing with Sideniles. Let's find out in a new segment of Sideniles. So anyway, in this segment, each of us has prepared a movie trailer that touches on the lead up to Daphne and Niles' relationship. For Ryan, it's going to be entirely speculative. For me and Brad, either we went with something that is accurate but vague enough to avoid spoilers or just a wild reimagining. So who wants to go first? Me and Ryan, me and Curt, me or Curtis should go first. Ryan should go last, I feel like. Did you say Cordis? Yeah, me and Cordis. All right. Kick us off, Brad. Oh, God. Okay.

WHAT THEY BROUGHT

In a world where radio psychiatry definitely exists, where callers have problems we don't have time to solve, one man has time and looks. His long looks will only be a little longer. Eight longing years of watching the skilled hands of a licensed physical therapist dust the untouched books would be enough to make any man wonder why she's cleaning anything at all.

  • Well, there's one last surface her white gloves haven't checked.
  • Germs breed disease, but germophobia breeds desire.
  • Well, is he going to be a creep next week?

  • Each participant performs a prepared movie-trailer concept tied to the episode's characters or story. The activity is noncompetitive and has no formal score or winner.
  • Niles, with my last breath, I'm afraid I'm going to have to burst your bubble.
  • I don't think we need to rate it, but I think we can say if we would go see it.

Let's throw some stuff out there and you tell me if you would eat it off the floor.

Let's throw some stuff out there and you tell me if you would eat it off the floor. Okay? Love it. All right. Fruit. Trash. You can just wash it off. All fruit. Oh, you mean if it fell on the floor? I thought we were just talking about how we feel about food. Yeah. No, I would, I would not wash it off. I would throw it away. Oh, that's crazy. Like an unpierced…

Let's throw some stuff out there and you tell me if you would eat it off the floor. Okay? Love it. All right. Fruit. Trash. You can just wash it off. All fruit. Oh, you mean if it fell on the floor? I thought we were just talking about how we feel about food. Yeah. No, I would, I would not wash it off. I would throw it away. Oh, that's crazy. Like an unpierced apple, if that fell, I would wash it and eat it. If a, if a apple slice fell, it's in the garbage. An unpierced apple? Do you get a lot of earrings in your apples? Do you get a lot of soren stabs to the, to your apple core? If I've not bitten into the apple, but I drop it, I will still eat it. Okay. How about, how about a piece of bread? No, trash. I just want to throw it real quick. I will occasionally pretend to dust off the apple on my shirt, but that's just for show for whoever's around me. A hundred percent. Just for show. Here's another good one. A pretzel. Soft or hard? Soft. Let's go soft pretzel. Because like a bowl of like hard pretzels, I feel like there's a million of them. I don't need the one on the floor. If it's a soft pretzel and I've like, whether it was fresh baked or like from frozen and like has been heated up, I could see potentially eating that if it just quickly fell. All of your answers are wearing me out. Like, okay, what do you mean there's a million pretzels in your, in your house? What are you talking about? There's a thousand pretzels in the sea. If you buy a bag of pretzels, there are more pretzels in that bag than any other kind of chip. Any other snack that comes in a bag that's crunchy, there are a handful inside that bag. Like pretzels, there's a million pretzels in that bag. And I don't know why they're so generous with the pretzels. You know, I've never really thought about it. You are right though. Yeah. Okay. One more. One more. Cheese. Oh, it pains me, but trash. It's too wet. Cheese? Is that what you said? Yeah. Yeah. It's not wet, but you know what I mean? It's like, it's like a soft thing that's going to collect dust easily. I would eat cheese. I think I ate it today. Yeah. Well, Curtis, then you're just too sophisticated for me and Ryan, I guess. You're too hoity-toity. You are so hoity-toity. I prefer some fisticated. Dude, you gotta try some floor cheese, man. You haven't lived. As long as it hasn't expired.

    By way of goodbye.
