Patreon Preview #346: King Mumbles pt. 4 w/ Rob White

And we're back live during a flex alert.

Dialed in on the thermostat.

Oh, we're pre-cooling before 4 p.m., folks.

And that's the end of the third.

Time to set it back to 78 from 4 to 9 p.m.

Clutch move by the home team.

What's the game plan from here on out?

Laundry?

Not today.

Dishwasher?

Sidelined.

What a performance by Team California.

The power truly is ours.

During a flex alert, pre-cool, power down, and let's beat the heat together.

Damn, I mean, we're in the castle.

Whew, this is...

Would you say this is like Georgian, like a Georgian building, architecture-wise?

More like Florida.

Okay, I could see it.

Yeah, sort of like the

brown porch.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I've never seen a castle with a porch.

Like cartoonishly castle to me.

I guess it does have all these like peach trees around.

It is kind of George.

There's a gazebo.

Yeah.

And I feel like this is actually, I'll say this: the first castle I've ever been in.

I've never been in a castle before.

This is like a really cool experience to me.

James, congrats.

Wait, we went to medieval times, though.

Is that technically my whole shit up?

That's a castle.

That's a castle, legally.

On the castle, it's outside, I guess.

No, it's a castle.

It's the only castle in like, what is it, Elgin, Illinois, or whatever?

Like, what can you get?

It's kind of like a petting zoo.

Medieval times is kind of scary, huh?

Yeah, it's kind of scary.

It's kind of scary the way they treat their horses.

But we're here.

Oh, we're here to see King Mumbles.

We're here to see King.

We did it.

Okay, let's see.

There's okay.

So to the left is 341 through 356, and to the right is throne room.

So let's do throne room.

Oh, wait, it says throne room, and then in parentheses, it says bathroom.

So, yeah, that's that's so confusing.

Yeah, okay, this says where the king is, but also ice.

I don't know if that's what we need.

And this says live, laugh, love, and it's coffee o'clock.

I think that the decority is all over.

Confusing.

Well, let's do the where the king is.

Yeah.

And then also, I could fill up my canteen with ice because my water has run hot.

So let's follow this corridor here.

We'll give a polite nod to the guards.

Oh, okay.

Here's maybe here's somebody who could help us.

Excuse me.

Excuse me, sir.

We're looking for King Mumbles.

Well, you're looking right at him.

Oh.

Okay.

Okay.

So you okay?

Okay.

I thought.

Oh, sorry.

I just thought the king would be.

You guys don't say anything out loud.

Don't say it.

Adel.

Adel, you still have time.

A big guy.

A big guy.

So.

I was sick as a child.

Okay.

That.

And see, Adel, that's why we don't bring that up.

Big question.

Question for you.

I guess.

King, and I want to say King Mumbles.

Is that I'm getting that?

I'm saying that.

Yes, that's correct.

Is this this a...

But I do not need to be disrespectful at all.

JPC, you still have time to not say whatever you're about to say.

Is this an Emperor's new clothes thing?

Are we supposed to say, like, you have wonderful clothes?

Or is this a, like, we caught you in between?

I was going from the throne room to the king's room.

To the king's room.

Got it.

Okay, cool.

Why don't we, why don't you?

I wasn't expecting guests.

Sure.

This part of the wing is sort of my territory.

Got it.

Oh, sorry.

That makes sense because, like, the door's not locked, but I don't, like, lock my, like, bedroom door.

You know what I'm saying?

So

totally.

Right.

Well, we don't want to insult him.

Like, guys, we don't have to go on and on about how he gives more like sick chimney sweep vibes than Kitty, right?

You know, we don't need to be saying this stuff out loud to him.

Do you know what I mean?

For sure.

I did fully physically recover on the inside.

It's just the outside doesn't look so good.

Actually, right?

I think maybe your court wizards may be telling you something, but

every day.

Well, that's good.

Yeah, it's just like, it seems like when we came in, it seems like you were kind of posed.

You were on this sort of fainting couch, sort of pose towards us.

So it just seems like you were expecting something, but we can move on.

Oh, it's quite all right, to be completely honest with you.

My portrait is coming up.

I get a new one every year, and they all look

sickly, to be honest.

So I'm trying out some different poses, just seeing, you know.

Oh, yeah.

So this was a pose for a portrait.

So you were going to do

all fours on the ground, ass pointed up, face turned around with a little whisper of, like, I have a secret.

That was like for the royal official.

Yes.

Okay.

Is that not?

No, that will convey strength to the people, I think.

It's playful, but inviting.

And I think it's very peaceful.

Yeah, it's certainly a new angle.

I've saw some of the other portraits in the hall.

They're kind of also, you know, kind of like regal, stern, strong chin, kind of like looking off into the distance.

So it's definitely telling like a different type of story about like what your kind of like angle on King is, you know?

Can I offer you a peach?

Anyone care for a peach?

Peach?

I would love one.

Love a peach?

I gotta say, it really depends on where you're gonna be pulling it out of.

Just, well, we have many peach trees.

Oh, just right off the castle.

Yeah, it's just the only place they grow in the whole kingdom.

So it's kind of special.

And King, King Mumbles, if I may, we saw that on all the castle windows, there seemed to be sort of peach pies cooling.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Is that to lure people in?

Oh, no, no, no.

We just, we always have feasts every night.

And to be honest, you saw the number of peach trees and very few people live in this castle.

So we just kind of have to do something with them.

Got it.

All said and done, how many people would you say, how many people would you say live in the castle?

Full-time?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, I don't even know what that would mean if we're full-time living.

Well, some are just Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

Oh, okay.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

So I don't know if we're counting those because the same different people sleep in the same room Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.

A room is empty on Sunday.

Right.

And then you have the people in the dungeon.

It's like, do you count them as long-term residence or are they, you know?

No, it's mostly short-term, unfortunately, if you wind up there.

Oh, yeah.

But I would say 25, 25

full-time.

Very, very good, King.

King Mambos.

You're sort of pulling at your jacket.

I never.

What jacket?

But what jacket?

And Aaron's skin, Aaron and Shaw.

And Aaron's star.

Stop pulling that.

I should put something on.

Yeah, why don't you, yeah, why does the team throw something on, huh?

Hi, Aaron.

Hi, JPC.

It's me, saving squirrel.

Aaron, I'll stomp on it.

You just give me the yes, the go-ahead, the thumbs up, and this thing is gone.

No, no, no, JPC, I think there's something he's trying to say.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Just hovering over it.

Wait, I have value.

I have value.

Do you want to intern your kids in the savers?

Acorns really, which I represent, makes it easy to teach kids healthy money habits that will stick with them for life.

You know, squirrel, I was just thinking about how, like, why don't they teach us more about money in school?

Like, I feel like there should be a whole class for it.

Because you go to college and you don't, you're dealing with money really for the first time.

Right?

And you don't know how to do it.

Yeah.

Aaron, don't say go to high school and go to college around the squirrel.

It's obvious that this is a guy that didn't go to high school in college because he's a squirrel.

Yeah, he did.

Looks, he's wearing a little graduation cap.

Yeah.

Oh, I went to MIT.

I am so sorry, squirrel, but not not as sorry as I am about not learning about money when I was younger.

Squirrel, let me ask you, do you have a piggy bank?

And I should say MIT stands for Munch into Trees.

That's what I thought.

I do have a piggy bank.

Well, piggy banks are cute and they're great for loose quarters, but these days, there's so much more that kids and squirrels need to know about money.

Acorns early.

makes it easy to teach kids lifelong money skills they can actually use in the real world or whatever world you live in, squirrel.

Hmm.

Thank you.

I'm not sure.

I thought it was the normal world, but I could be wrong.

Well, let me ask you this.

If it's the normal world and your world, does Acorns Early have a smart debit card and a money app that grows kids' money skills as they grow up?

You betcha.

Okay, and can you start with In-App Chores Tracker and teach your kids the value of a dollar?

Absolutely.

Okay.

And then you let your kids set their own saving goals and start building healthy money habits early?

You better believe it.

Hmm.

Okay, so it sounds like we're in the same world.

I feel like when I said MIT stands for munching the trees, we all just kind of glazed over that.

No, I know.

It's in Massachusetts.

It's a really great school.

Kids can spend what they've earned with their very own customizable debit card, giving them that extra sense of independence.

Plus, with Acorn Early spending limits and real-time spend notifications, parents always stay in control.

I've looked through Acorns Early.

I am thrilled for when my kid gets old enough that I can use Acorns Early and kind of help them manage money.

But I've gone through the system.

I've gone through the information that exists there, although I haven't used it.

It's all stuff that I would really recommend.

And I think that like teaching young kids financial literacy stuff is super, super important.

It really just gives them such a leg up for the world that they will have to live in.

You better believe it.

So take it from Savings Squirrel.

King Mumbles, I never met a king before.

What kind of king are you?

Are you like a man of the people?

Are you a stern and scary king?

What's sort of your vibe?

I would like to say I'm a man of the people, but I feel others would describe me as a recluse.

So

what am I thinking of?

I'm thinking of raccoon.

Oh, a raccoon?

Possibly.

I guess I could see that.

I have to have mustache that's more whisker-like, but.

And you have wet little hands, King, if I may.

Hyper-hydrosis.

Oh.

Okay.

Yes, it's a condition unrelated or maybe related to the many illnesses I had as a child, but

yes, I do have quite white hands.

No, because your insides are all healed.

Correct.

Well, it's outside of my hands.

Hyperhydrosis is an outside issue.

Yeah, that's an outside issue.

It's an outsider issue.

You're totally right on that.

King, now that you've put on a stunning, can I just say stunning two-piece silk pajama set,

these daytime clothes, my friend.

My apologies.

My apologies.

Sorry.

Quite out of it.

Well, here's where we can kind of segue is that where I'm from, those would be considered pajamas.

And what I should say is that the three of us are from the future.

Hmm.

Hmm.

The future.

A very muted response to the future.

I'm skeptical.

You must understand I have visitors all the time who claim to see things, know things, and

I have to suss a lot of nonsense.

And I will.

Put us through the test, King.

I will.

When you say the future, do you mean

what?

What do you mean by the future?

Okay, hard-hit question right out of the gate.

Oh, yeah.

No, so that's a great question.

We're kind of, we're more from like a very distant future.

So if you're going to ask us, like, what's going to happen next year, we're going to, it's going to be SOL on that.

We will not know.

But, like, Adel could probably tell you who won the Super Bowl.

Spaniards on lawn?

Yes.

No, sorry.

In one year, I will have Spaniards on my lawn.

No, me.

SOL.

SOL stands for shit out of luck.

Oh.

Okay.

Where we come from.

Where we come from.

Yeah.

Which is the future.

Do you do a lot of Spaniards on your lawn?

Well, I mean, Spain is a threat.

Yeah.

So

it's a constant concern.

So that's why I was alluding to that.

You know what?

They really mellow out.

I will tell you.

They do.

That's a good thing.

That looks so good.

Oh, good.

They love like exploring and i'm a fan i'm a have you had paella yeah i have delightful it is delightful topas crispy little crispy edges on the paella oh yes the crispy rice oh they

mellow out on the world stage for sure

more good news portugal i know that's probably pretty big right now probably not going to be a concern kind of at all oh oh

a lot of people get this i a lot of people will not be able to tell you what continent portugal is on.

Yeah, people will get confused.

I think a lot of people will say South America.

Yeah.

Oh, boy, America.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, right.

I'm just going to throw in stuff out.

Okay, so some people are going to leave.

Oh, how did this?

I don't even know what year it is here.

In something, something in 42, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.

Oh, something to look forward to.

Tomatoes.

Don't know.

Okay.

No reaction, but why would he?

Yeah, why would he?

What do you mean?

It's like a peach that blue.

Oh, it's like a peach that you pair with cheese.

Oh, yeah.

Like more like a cheese.

When I describe a tomato like that, huh?
