Transcript[edit | edit source]
Norway
(Julie Mynors lays down with the neck of her sweater up over her mouth.)
Julie Mynors: Hello, Arandanauts. I’m all bundled up on the sofa on a Friday evening. And you’re watching WhatImDoingRightNow.
("Intro" plays over the opening title screen.)
Michael Aranda's Apartment – 11:26 AM MDT
(Michael Aranda walks down the hallway of his apartment toward Ceri Riley and Todd Williams sitting at the table, Katelyn Salem sitting in the lounge chair, and Kelsey Cote sitting on the couch.)
Michael Aranda: Toddly.
Todd Williams: Yes, sir.
Michael: Happy birthday.
Todd: Oh, thanks man.
Michael: Welcome to the Thirty Club.
(Todd sighs.)
Todd: Feels good. Feels good.
Michael: Yeah. For a little bit. Just you wait.
(The camera shows some raw meat sits on a paper towel formed into hamburger patties and then a bag of frozen french fries sitting on the counter against the wall. Katelyn is in the kitchen.)
Katelyn.
Katelyn: Yes.
Michael: Tell me about what you are doing.
Katelyn: I’m making Carl’s Jr. hamburgers for Todd’s birthday.
Michael: Why?
Katelyn: Because Todd loves (laughing) Carl’s Jr. Ceri made a, uh... a bag that has the Carl’s Jr. logo on it. I’m gonna make him up a hamburger and then stick it in the bag and give it to him. Since Carl’s Jr. is like... (laughing) two hours away from here.
(Katelyn is holding up the Carl's Jr. bag for Todd.)
Todd: I’m—I’m sorry. My—my brain just got really confused for a second. I’m like...
Katelyn: This is—this is Todd’s special hamburger.
(Katelyn hands Todd the bag.)
Todd: I—I was like, “Wait, what? What? What? What?" Okay, this is—who made this?
Katelyn: Ceri did.
(The camera pans to the couch where Ceri is sitting as Michael points to her.)
Todd: Thank you! I’m— (In a Southern accent) I’m real happy right now.
(Michael laughs. Todd pulls a second small bag out of the Carl's Jr. bag.)
Todd: What’s this? What’s in here?
Katelyn: A bag of fries!
Michael: It’s just like the real thing!
(Katelyn laughs.)
Todd: Who do I pay?
(The camera shows a close up of Todd's burger.)
That looks real good.
Michael: Mmmmmm!
Todd: Wow. I’m kind of speechless here. This is real nice. Thank you. A little personalized gift.
Katelyn: Mhm.
(Dance music plays over a One Burger Later screen.)
Hilton Garden Inn Missoula – 11:46 AM MDT
(The camera shows a man hitting a rock with a hammer as the text Hellgate Mineral Society's 23rd Annual Gem & Mineral Show is displayed across the screen. Katelyn leans into frame to look at the tag of an arrowhead in a display case on the table in front of the man. Then the camera shows a booth attendant with a large geode wrapped up in the chain of a tool.)
Geode booth attendant: Now did you want to hold this?
Kelsey Cote: Like, the rock or the chain?
Geode booth attendant: The rock!
Kelsey: Oh!
Geode booth attendant: When it gets cracked. You just put your jazz-hands just like that.
Second geode booth attendant: Keep your fingers out.
(Kelsey places the palms of her hands around the geode.)
Kelsey: Jazz hands.
Second geode booth attendant: Keep it together.
Kelsey: Okay.
(The camera shows a slow motion shot of the tool cracking the geode open as Kelsey holds the sides of the geode. The booth attendant has his hands hovering around Kelsey's just in case. The geode splits evenly in half.)
Kelsey: Ahh!
Geode booth attendant: There it is! Good job! You held right in there. Get in there.
(The booth attendant opens the geode with his hands to show small, white spheres of crystals inside.)
Kelsey and geode booth attendant: Woah!
Kelsey: Cool!
Michael: How do you feel about your geode?
Kelsey: Do you want to see it?
(Kelsey holds the geode open for the camera.)
Uh... It’s like half and half. It’s pretty cool.
(She indicates to the half in her left hand.)
I like this one better. I’m not biased with my children but—
Ceri Riley: Yeah.
Kelsey: —this is my favorite child.
Ceri: It looks like snow.
Kelsey: Right? Only thirty dollars.
(Kelsey and Ceri laugh.)
Michael Aranda's Ford Mustang – 4:08 PM MDT
Michael: Kelsey, are you ready?
Kelsey: I’m always ready.
Michael: What are you always ready for?
Kelsey: Anything.
Michael: Anything?
Kelsey: Anything.
Michael: I don’t know about that.
Kelsey: What would I not be ready for?
Michael: Becoming a mother? Is that incorrect? I mean you said that you w—want kids, but not yet. Someday. That means you’re not ready right now.
Kelsey: There are options that I would take to make sure that I did not have to raise children right now.
Michael: Doesn’t that mean that you, right now, are not ready to become a mother?
Kelsey: I mean, if I was in a world where I was forced to have a child right now, I have the means in my life to take care of said child. Uh...
Michael: So do you feel like that is included in the “You are ready for anything”?
Kelsey: I’m more thinking, like, tire blows out. There’s a tornado. Not childs. Childrens.
Michael: You don’t think, uh...
Kelsey: Bebays.
Michael: ...having a child is as impactful as a tire blowing out?
Kelsey: (Laughing) T—Or a tornado. I think children are more impactful than a tire blowing out. They’re pretty far off from each other. One’s like, half an hour. The other one’s eighteen plus years.
Michael: Depends how dramatic the tire blowout is and whether it causes you or you and other vehicles to experience collisions that are potentially fatal.
Kelsey: I was more thinking, like, “Oh, I have a flat tire. I’m just gonna change it.” I wasn’t thinking, like, “I have caused the death of others and I now must live with that for the rest of my life.”
Michael: A tire blowing out is different than a tire—
Michael and Kelsey: going flat.
Kelsey: You either have to live with your child or live with the death of others.
Michael: Anyway, we’re about to go fly a drone to attempt to get the shot that I was attempting to get when my fingers got all... chopped up.
Maclay Flat
Michael: We are back at MaClay Flat, which is the same place that, uh... I chopped my fingers up before. I’m interested to see if there’s any evidence still.
(Michael and Kelsey stand on the bank of the Bitterroot River.)
This is where it happened.
(Michael points up into the sky and then down toward the ground next to the water.)
It was really cold so the drone was coming down right here. Above this area. And I... tried to grab the drone before it hit the ground, but it had lowered its landing gear,
(Michael walks over to the drone sitting on the ground, spins one of the propellers, and picks up the drone to show the bottom of it.)
which brought the propellers down alongside the bottom of the craft. And that, uh... chopped my fingers.
(The camera points to a patch of ground covered in dead pine needles, but not in snow.)
I was wondering if I’d see any blood in the snow over here, but the snow’s all gone.
(Michael points to the drone and then the camera shows a shot of the inside of the drone case.)
So I just got the drone setup and then realized that the camera didn’t get put back in the case. So... we have no way to get the shot. I don’t know if I got get the camera now and then come back. I don’t know—
Kelsey: We have ‘till, like, seven. Got... an hour and a half.
Michael: I don’t know what other option we have. This is, like, the fifth or sixth time that we’ve come out here to try to get this one shot.
Kelsey: Well, I say we go back and we’ll see how light it is.
Michael Aranda's Ford Mustang – 5:56 PM MDT
Michael: Every time we do a drone flight we have to contact the airport—because this is within five miles of an airport—and ask them, “Is it okay if we fly a drone right now?” And then they ask a bunch of questions, like, “How long are you gonna be flying? How high are you gonna be flying? What are you gonna be flying?” They just want to make sure that you’re not gonna interfere with the other air traffic. But we’ve tried to get this shot so many times, I wonder if over there they’re like, “God. What d—what are they doing over there at Maclay Flat that requires so much drone flight?” (In a patronizing voice) “Nothing. Just tryin’ to get a ten second shot.”
Michael Aranda's Apartment
(Michael holds up a small black box.)
Michael: Here it is. Here’s the camera case.
Maclay Flat
Michael: Okay. Here we go. Round two. We have the camera this time, so hopefully this is the time we actually get the shot we want.
(Kelsey smiles and makes a thumbs up with both of her hands.)
Kelsey: (Excitedly) Yeah.
(Dance music plays over a One Drone Shot Later screen.)
Michael: I think maybe we got it. I wasn’t able to fly as I would have liked, but it was certainly better than the one that we got when I sliced my fingers. Batteries for this drone are very susceptible to getting cold, and when the drone got up there again I got a “Cold Battery” warning.
Kelsey: This might be a dumb suggestion, but could you just put hand warmers on it?
Michael: People do that, yeah. My hope was that because it’s warm enough for the snow to have melted that it was gonna be warm enough for this, but it still wasn’t havin’ it.
(Michael sighs heavily.)
Okay. I’m gonna say hopefully—
(Michael picks up the drone case and the side without the handle attached to it falls over.)
Oh, god. What the heck?
Kelsey: It's not zipped.
Michael: It is zipped.
Kelsey: It's not zipped.
Michael: But it unzipped. The zipper, like, split open after it had been zipped because this is the unzip motion.
(Michael pulls the zipper all the way to one side and then back along the bag. It doesn't zip again.)
What the heck?
(Michael now walks with the case finally zipped up.)
So I’ve learned that this case only zips up if you zip it all the way to one side. Not all the way to the other side. That makes sense.
(The camera pans from right to left down the river.)
I thought this was the Clark Fork River, but I looked it up.
Kelsey: Hm? Bitterroot?
Michael: It’s the Bitterroot River.
Kelsey: Yeah.
(The camera looks down at the water rushing past.)
Kelsey: Uh, how mad at me would you be if I pushed you in?
Michael: I don’t know that I would be mad—
Kelsey: (Laughing) What other emotion?
Michael: —so much as, like, disappointed.
Kelsey: Disappointed?
Michael: Yeah.
Kelsey: I don’t know what other emotion I would feel (emphasis) besides mad.
Michael Aranda's Ford Mustang
(Michael and Kelsey get in the car and put on their seatbelts.)
Michael: Well, I hope that this is the end of an era because I don’t wanna have to get this shot again.
Walmart – 7:27 PM MDT
Michael: Welcome to the happiest place on Earth. We’re gettin’ some cheese.
(Kelsey has her hand held in a thumbs down position.)
Kelsey: Not the happiest.
Michael: Not the happiest?
Kelsey: No.
Michael: Why not?
Kelsey: You just think it’s the happiest place on Earth.
(The camera shows the flower display as they walk past it.)
Michael: Look, they even have flowers here!
(Michael picks up a package of bacon and slaps it on the ground. Then picks it back up.)
Kelsey: Oh, you have to...
Michael: I found you.
Kelsey: Yeah. Do you have to do the thing?
(Kelsey sets down the basket and Michael slaps the bacon into it.)
Michael: Thanks.
Kelsey: Mhm.
Michael Aranda's Apartment
(A bowl of mashed up cauliflower sits on the counter amongst other ingredients.)
Michael: So with the things that Kelsey got at Walmart, she is going to make cauliflower pizza. Katelyn, what are you making?
Katelyn: Veggie pasta for me and the vegetarian.
Michael: Veggie pasta? But a meal is not a meal without meat!
Kelsey: Eh!
Katelyn: I mean, talk to that one (laughing) over there.
(Katelyn points to Kelsey with the spatula she is holding. Michael turns around toward Kelsey and shakes his hand at her.)
Michael: But a meal is not a meal without meat.
Kelsey: This doesn’t have meat in it.
Michael: But, the pizza will have meat on top of it.
Kelsey: I could just not put meat on top of it.
Michael: But then it won’t be a real meal anymore.
(Kelsey is pressing the cauliflower into a round pizza dough. It makes squishy noises.)
Look at that crust!
Kelsey: Gotta shape it.
(Kelsey stands in front of the oven with the baked cauliflower crust on a pizza stone on the stovetop.)
Michael: What’s the pizza update?
Kelsey: It looks like crust. Hopefully it doesn’t fall apart.
(Kelsey opens the oven and takes out a fully dressed pizza.)
Michael: I mean it looks like a pizza.
Kelsey: If anything, I think you—you might just have to eat it with a fork and a knife, but I think it’s gonna taste pretty pizza-y.
(Radius sits inside of Michael's unzipped backpack on the floor.)
Michael: There’s a kitty in my backpack.
(He taps Radius on the head.)
That’s you.
(Dance music plays over a Later That Day screen.)
1:45 AM MDT
(Michael stands at the counter with Katelyn. The reflection off the sliding glass door in the background shows that he is standing with one foot up on the top of a counter stool.)
Michael: Katelyn and I just spent... hours working on the Kate Tectonics episode four script, which was much longer than I expected to be working on it tonight,
(The camera shows a tablet with a diagram of the Earth's inner layers sitting on the counter.)
but it involved drawing up a lot of notes about various props that we need to make for the episode and I think we made the episode make more sense than it did before. There’s some confusing terms in geology regarding the different layers in the Earth.
Katelyn: It’s even more confusing than what we have it in the script, too, as well. Like, you can breakdown the layers that we have picked out to do. All of these layers can even be broken down more.
(Index sits on the floor near a pile of shoes at the door.)
Michael: Right, cat?
Index: Meow.
Michael: Look at all those shoes.
Michael Aranda's Apartment Complex
Michael: The logical part of my brain is saying that I probably should just go to sleep right now, but for the sake of consistency I want to at least get in a small jog.
(The camera shows the metal roof of the covered parking spaces as it creaks.)
These metal overhangs are creeking I assume because it’s getting cold out here. I’m just gonna run for, like, twenty minutes or so and then I’ll go to bed.
Apartment Complex Fitness Center
(The camera shows Michael holding his phone up in the full wall mirror.)
Michael: Well... I didn’t want to take too much time running today; like I said, I was only gonna go twenty minutes.
Michael Aranda's Apartment Complex
(Michael walks outside and back to his apartment.)
Michael: So I decided to just set it at 7.5 miles per hour and see how long it took to run a 5K, which is 3.11 miles. And I ended up getting my fastest time that Runkeeper has recorded for finishing a 5K, which was 24 minutes and 58 seconds. I did have to push a little bit toward the end, but it wasn’t, like, super super tough. So I imagine I could do that faster. Maybe it would have been easier still if I wasn’t running at two in the morning. I guess we’ll just have to save trying faster for another time. For now, I’m just gonna go back home, probably take a shower because I don’t want to sleep all sweaty like this, and then I’m gonna go to sleep. So thank you for watching and I will see you tomorrow.
("Outro" plays over the end screen.)
