DOWN TO BUSINESS

Rolling the 20 sided dice off to Dreamland

Are any dice made up of prime numbers?

INTRO

Ok, there’s that thought I’m thinking about

Toes immersed in puffy clouds

Does the cloud support my feet?

Let me introduce myself, I’m the Cloud Wrangler

Does Cloud Wrangler have the same number of syllables as “The Rambler”

A non-sentient cloud would be totally fine if it appeared in my bedroom

It would be nice if the cloud was a little dense

Tangible Physical Feedback

Is this what Zeus feels like?

A tiny bit of clouds between our toes

A Pocketful of Clouds

Somewhere else on planet Earth, someone can relate to what you’re going through

Only Cloud Enthusiasts pay attention to clouds

You can listen to this podcast like most people watch clouds

I guess this will be the Cloud Wrangler episode

 

STORY

Oh, this isn’t a tale, this is an interview

The Cloud Wrangler is on the line now

Let me think of some questions to ask you

Who’s in charge of wrangling clouds?

I’m most accurately a Cloud Coaxer

I work for Morpheus (not that one. Or the other one)

Shoutout to Cloud Tower

Cloud Wrangler is not a Cloud-Based Being

My head is in the clouds, only when I’m actually in the clouds

Tell us about your normal attire and out of the ordinary attire for you

Fortunately, CW is familiar with the human world

Technically, I am wrangling clouds without clothes on, but that’s not true for me

This is the second interview I’ve done

This is stumping Scooter in a good way

A Hypothetical Clothing Question

Rudolph is more popular on Cloud Tower than he is on Earth

If Morpheus sent CW down to Earth in human form, what would you look like?

Let’s sort out all the caveats for this hypothetical question

A Popular Film Sequence

A Joyous Montage of Wearing Outfits

Let’s roll through an extended slow-mo montage for this sleep podcast

Morpheus is aware of Scooter’s relationship to Scooter

Talking about Scooter’s shorts

He bought these shorts with his mother

5 or 6 years ago, and they’re still going strong

Scooter prefers 100% Cotton

CW would definitely wear those shorts, but not that shirt

A strange pronunciation of TJ Maxx

Scooter’s plans for a Galaxy Quest cinematic universe

This shirt is marketed towards exercise or very warm weather

This shirt has not aged as well

Who’s interviewing whom right now?

I thought this would be a montage!

Morpheus is probably playing pan flute somewhere right now for this montage

The other options would be pajama shirts

CW is looking for something comfy, breathable, and no static

Let’s talk about more of Scooter’s wardrobe

What about a shirt that’s open? That’s full control, Scooter!

Worries: Wrinkling, Constriction, & Mismatched Footwear

One time, I wanted a Waffle-Based Wardrobe 

And then I wanted Terry Cloth Clothing

Waffle Towels are great for me

Then I bought some of those clothes for SWM live shows

These shirts had some complicated closures

Sometimes, Scooter leaves clothes with family so he can wear them when he’s there

Hand Me Forwards

A bucket of clothes at my parents’ home

3 pairs of shorts, 3 pairs of socks, 4 or 5 t shirts, 1 or 2 button down shirts

Maybe even a pair of jeans?

The problem with the waffle shirts is that they’re not worn enough

When CW comes to Earth, he’s going to borrow Scooter’s under-utilized clothes

Great Montage, Scooter

Another question

Write a letter to your favorite author, musician, or business establishment. What do you like about them?

That doesn’t apply to CW

CW will follow Scooter’s example

CW is coaxing Scooter just like a cloud!

Let’s talk out a letter to Steven Spielberg

A seminal impact on Scooter

Raiders of the Lost Ark was impactful

A magic that I could only see

A special summer

Goonies, Back to the Future, and A View to a Kitten

The first time I could go to the movies by myself

The child matinee price was unbelievably low

I remember playing with toys and recreating A View to a Kitten

This love of movies was running through my blood

The moment I realized movies were made by people

I wanted to be the next Steven Spielberg

Returning to school after a heady summer

Heading into a particularly rough school year

Writing a report on my dream career

I don’t think my school library had any books about making movies

2 or 3 public libraries, too

I couldn’t find any books on directors and executive producers

I had really bad handwriting and wasn’t good at spelling

I couldn’t spell “Executive Producer / Director”

I wasn’t getting off to a good start with this director

I was a little too flashy without style or substance

I got an F on that paper

I probably thought a lot about it, but didn’t work really hard on it

I should’ve written you a letter then

I didn’t have an Internal Cloud Coaxer at the time

Oh, the Cloud Wrangler keeps things in flow

It took me time to coax the things that were holding me back

Unexpected Expectations

Maybe I’ll watch The Fablemans and then write you a real letter

I don’t know how to get back to you, but I’ll get back to you

Thanks, Cloud Coaxer

Holy Cow, what an interview
