The Missing Reflecting Pool0:51 – 5:17

Dana DuBoisGuest

Why don't you tell everyone where we are, Ogre? Because this is your town.

Opinionated OgreHost

0:55

Oh, we are at the no longer reflecting pool.

Opinionated OgreHost

0:59

Hold on.

Dana DuBoisGuest

1:00

It's magnificent, you guys.

Dana DuBoisGuest

1:01

We have never seen its equal.

Trump

administration has beautified every part of this country, including this fair city and its reflecting pool, that we took... a car ride, and then a train.

Dana DuBoisGuest

1:19

And then we rented e-bikes.

Dana DuBoisGuest

1:21

Do you know how unconfident I am on a bike? And the e-bikes aren't even really very e.

Dana DuBoisGuest

1:26

I think that they're just really spindly bikes, very loose gears.

Dana DuBoisGuest

1:31

And we are recklessly riding around the park so that we could come see the reflecting pool because I wanted to see what color it was.

Dana DuBoisGuest

1:39

And the answer is, Ogre, is the pool green like you?

Opinionated OgreHost

1:44

Uh, no, it is currently like basketball, basketball, uh, court black.

Opinionated OgreHost

1:50

Like this is, this is asphalt black.

Opinionated OgreHost

1:52

I don't know what the hell they're doing right now, but it is currently not a pool.

Opinionated OgreHost

1:56

It is just

Dana DuBoisGuest

1:57

water.

Dana DuBoisGuest

1:58

There is no water.

Dana DuBoisGuest

1:59

Can you guys see? So first of all, there's this gorgeous gate around it.

Dana DuBoisGuest

2:02

It's exquisite national fences.

Dana DuBoisGuest

2:04

I mean, have you seen it? Yeah.

Opinionated OgreHost

2:07

For all your fencing needs.

Dana DuBoisGuest

2:09

Yes, National Rent-A-Fence.

Dana DuBoisGuest

2:10

Sorry, I got that name wrong.
