So at the Midrise building in Cincinnati, what sort of identification are they expecting? Who normally would go into that building?

I studied the people that were going in and out, all five of them.

There was a lawyer, a tax accountant, a low-level talent agent for pets, and then it was the last one that got me.

It took me six months to figure out who they were and what they did for a living.

They were the inspector of Cincinnati dogs to make sure they were authentic,

hollow for crying out

loud.

I thought I had figured all these things out.

Am I correct?

You're correct that it looks like that, but it is actually the branch of a fir tree that I have trimmed down

Thanks so much for being on the show.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Due to some of your research.

Yeah, some of the reenactments that I have done at the Palace of Versailles.

I only do small reenactments now, of course.

I have a traveling set where I reenact parts of the Palace of Versailles that was not destroyed by the bears.

I mean, a very, very acidic fecal matter that they have from all the berries.

And a lot of furniture was ruined.

A lot of

Is that fitting in with the mood of what you're trying to do? Or do you feel like that's just like the Rocky Horror Picture Show of history?

But brothers, like anyone, Claire, need to communicate, don't they?

Well, if they don't, they lose their brotherhood, Dano.

You see, that's how this whole mess started.

You know, the great iron railway that crossed this magnificent land was responsible for the bringing together of families and the tearing apart of families.

And that's what happened to young Jimmy and young Bill Morse.

The Morse family were one of the brave folks to make the great trek on the Iron Horse.

So the jolt that he received was indicative of the danger without actually causing a toasted Thomas, as it's come to be known.

I personally, I try not to judge the history that I'm studying, but yes, a toasted Thomas, nobody wants that.

I guess the more dangerous it seems, the longer the word needs to be.

But you know, Dano, I just wanted to say that the Safecrackers Union, 952, have a lawsuit out against the Coppermen for their use of schnauzers.

And because, as you say, it is not a violent crime, but we are in a very vulnerable position as we are practicing our craft.

Our haunches are the most exposed crime.

You had a card.

Yeah, no, absolutely.

I am glad to hear that you were not a part of any of those, you know, Ocean's Eleven movies, those series, because I'll tell you something that drove me crazy.

They would show up on screen, you know, they would have somebody portraying a safecracker, not haunched properly.

You've taken one of Headway's family recipes and you're making your own cookies to sell to the public.

Our own cookies and with today's flavors, you know, because we're a Girl Scout troop of today and our young girls have got strong ideas for what's delicious, you know, and it's not the same.

This year, the girls voted and it was a tie because we have four girls and it was really awkward until Maisie gets her peanut bush bag.

What girl gets an Easy-Bake oven now as a gift?

Yeah, well, and we've had a lot of other challenges with the Girl Scouts this year, you know.

But we've matched not only our new cookie flavors to try to get them excited, but also we have updated our uniforms.

They're now non-gendered, the uniforms.

It is a unisex covering with one leg.

What's the difference between a top-notch trophy like this one and, you know, the typical trophy that is given away at a third grade music ceremony, for example?

I mean, the height of trophies, I think the world would agree, is the Oscar, a little man known for his movie connections.

And they are made of solid gold.

And you'll always notice, especially if an Oscar is presented to a petite movie star, and the first thing that they will say is,

But it actually doesn't feel very good to receive.

But here's the thing.

And I think this is what Mr. Downey Jr. had a problem with.

I, of course, was not going to print that on the actual trophy.

So this must have been Teddy Britannica, if he's the grandson, right?

Yeah, Theodore Britannica Jr., Jr., Jr., three juniors, because it was actually his great-grandfather.

He was the first man to decide that the world needed ordering and people needed to know everything that there was in the earth, on the earth, about human nature, about plants, about people.

Put it in a book in alphabetical of the time, the tyrannical alphabetical order of the day.

Do you feel like this is the place you're going to stick it out? Is this a good spot for Claire Sarah is what I'm asking.

It's a wonderful question.

You know, I came on this program because I consider myself an expert in the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Not the books themselves, but the way that Teddy Britannica is running this coming to the ground.

Yes.

The killing knives, not your tool knives, not your, you know, slice the rope on the thin Ikea tent knife, but a killing, a real killing knife, a murder knife, a knife that is clearly when you When you switch blade that thing open off of your Swiss Army knife.

And the look in your eye is intent on murder.

I picture a gentle alpine landscape, goat milk cuckoo clocks, and chocolates.

All of those things absolutely do exist.

They exist in tandem with the bloody, shanking, murder blade deaths that are happening in those meadows and on the streets of the great cities of Swiss town and Swiss center land.

So how did you choose to piecelatize specifically to this one address, 1239 Mount Vernon, at cities around the nation? Why not go door to door in one neighborhood where people are physically close to each other?

Well, as I said to my husband before I kicked him out, 1239 Mount Vernon is going to be a piece of place from now on.

Get out, you dirty bastard.

And he took three of the children with him.

And from that day, I did start to feel a real sense of happiness and peace in my own life.

I guess what it boils down to is I do agree with your concepts, but I don't agree with your definitions.

Okay, that's fine.

I mean, as long as you show up at the next house burning party, you will be accepted into the 1239 Mount Vernon Peace Society.

Is that baked Alaska?

That is baked Alaska to a herbal tea.

I really feel like America is crying out for mediocrity at this time.

We are saturating the airwaves with information, and we're always looking for the best.

It's like you get on to search for something on the World Wide Web, and you are lost in a rabbit hole of, oh, is this the best version of what I'm looking for? Is that the best? Is it the best? Is it the best? Come to my website.

You know it's not going to be the best.

You are not going to get the best recipes.

Putting that Instant Pot on for about 30 minutes and then capturing the steam that comes out through the valve and having that steam as your meal.

I w- I wonder if it worries art at all that the, those who are feeble of mind would not probably respond to a message addressed to the feeble of mind.

But isn't it beautiful? Art just is.

You know, art is not going to overthink its statements.

Art is going to put it out there.

Art is going to let you interpret, you know, is this illegal? Is this bad? Is this immoral? Art doesn't judge.

Art does, and then you judge.

[upbeat music]

Sure.
