Well alright, listeners, with a new story as you know comes a new co-host. And I couldn't be more thrilled to have Mr. Tyler Lucas in the studio with us today. One of my best friends in the whole world. How's it going Tyler?

Tyler Lucas (TL): Stop it.

PE: Welcome to the show. (chuckle)

TL: Oh it's going.

PE: Yeah?

TL: You might want to hold off on the more thrilled till after we record.

PE: Well, we'll see how it goes. We'll see how it goes. So real quick can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

TL: Yes. I am a Dallas-based video editor. I work for a company in Dallas, which I do not want to name but I also freelance, so if anyone has any freelance gigs out there shoot them my way.

PE: Hit 'em up! Hit 'em up! So folks, Tyler and I used to see each other just about every day of our lives for many years. And I actually haven't seen him in like eight months.

TL: Yeah. 

PE: Due to this—

TL: Has it been that long? Jesus.

PE: Yeah. Due to this thing that's going on.

TL: Yep. We FaceTimed a couple times.

PE: Yeah, we did do that. We did do that. So, it's really good to see you T-Ty.

TL: Good to see you, too!

PE: Alright, so what have you been doing? You listening to anything cool? Read anything? Seen anything good?

TL: Yeah, that's basically all I've been doing, hopefully, doing some and listening to some cool stuff. I found this new band, I don't know if you've heard of them, they're called the Griwerrtones. 

TOGETHER: The Griwerrtones.

TL: Some diddy's as "Dancelyvania," and "Season of the Night."

PE: Yeah, I've heard of it. I've heard of it.

TL: Two jams.

PE: (laughs) Yeah. Yeah.

TL: Yeah! Great, great band.

PE: (laughs)

TL:  Also been listening to this podcast called Last Podcast on the Left.

PE: Oh yeah! That's a big one.

TL: Good podcast. Very popular.

PE: Yeah.

TL: Just finished their series on the JFK assassination, conspiracies around that.

PE: Learn anything—

TL: Very fascinating.

PE: —no spoilers, did you learn anything new or interesting?

TL: Yeah! Somebody shot JFK!

PE: (sarcastically) Oh my god. Oh my god. Folks, we gotta go. We gotta go.

TL: It's crazy. Yeah! Right down the street here.

PE: Next—next—oh my! Ohh. You don't say.

TL: Yeah, but very fascinating stuff. They have a good theory of what happened that they subscribe to that I feel like I also subscribe to now.

PE: Really?

TL: Yeah.

PE: For you theorists out there check it out, Last Podcast on the Left. You've probably heard of it. What else? Been reading anything good?

TL: I have not been reading but I have been listening to the new President—former President Obama book.

PE: Oh yeah!

TL: A Promised Land.

PE: Yeah. Is he narrating it?

TL: Yes.

PE: Oh, wow! That's cool.

TL: That's a big reason why I got the audiobook.

PE: Yeah, that's very cool.

TL: Yeah.

PE: So the last thing I read was City Monster which is the new graphic novel by Reza Farazmand. And apologies if I mispronounce that name. He is the creator, and illustrator, and writer of Poorly Drawn Lines—

TL: Oh yeah, I've heard of that.

PE: —the monumentally successful web-based comic series. So CIty Monster is excellent. It's very much along the same lines. It's super funny, kind of dark, and full of heart.

TL: Nice.

PE: Loved it.

TL: Right on.

PE: Absolutely loved it. Highly recommend it. It just came out. I preordered it months ago.

TL: So it's a graphic novel?

PE: Yeah a graphic novel. The same style as Poorly Drawn Lines and all of that.

TL: Ok. Right on.

PE: But it's a whole story like I don't know, maybe 80 pages long. I also just recently started listening and watching some videos for a Columbian band called La Perla, which is an all-female percussion and voice ensemble. Super super cool stuff.

TL: Yeah listeners, he just showed me a video before recording and I agree with him.

PE: Yeah so that song was called "Bruja" which I believe is a type of witch. So yeah, check it out, brave listeners, "Bruja" by La Perla. Look it up, I think you'll like it.

And with that, I guess let's get into it. You ready Tyler?

TL: I am.

PE: So, folks, Tyler of course has not heard chapter one of "The Canyon." He has read it in advance as always with the co-host. I'm excited to hear what he thinks and I'm equally as excited to hear what everyone out there thinks. So buckle up, here comes "The Canyon Chapter One."

TL: Dun dun.

THE CANYON - Chapter One      05:41

OLD ABLE:
Let's see here...oh, here's a good one.

     [SOUND: RECORD NEEDLE]
     [MUSIC: HOLIDAY MUSIC UND.]

OLD ABLE:
Oh, that takes me back.

     [SOUND: DISPLAY TIPPING OVER]

MARKIE:
(whispering to himself) Oh, shhhhhhhhi—(calling out) Sorry! I'm sorry!

OLD ABLE:
Careful there, young man. Most of these items are irreplaceable—and out of your price range from the look of the holes in your dungarees there. Maybe Santa can bring you some needle and thread. (laughs) Zing!

MARKIE:
Wait, what? These are distressed. Anyway, it's my bad. I was trying to get a better look at that icky AF lighter right there...

OLD ABLE:
I'm afraid those words have no meaning. Do you read much?

MARKIE:
(Louder) Icky. AF. It means Italian—

OLD ABLE:
What is your family name?

MARKIE:
Markie Pon de Lancie. Enchanté.

OLD ABLE:
Pon de Lancie, ah. Mother: Florence, father...unknown.

MARKIE:
How did you...

OLD ABLE:
Able Canoe. Most people call me Uncle Able. Premier historian of Griwerrtown for over 60 years!

MARKIE:
Oh, you're Uncle Able! Well, fu—

     [SOUND: FIDDLING/TRYING TO CLEAN UP]

OLD ABLE:
Tell me, son, what brings you in today? And stop touching that.

MARKIE:
Ok, so I'm in this new thing. Sorta serious. But sorta open. I guess. I mean, we actually had a little group thing the other night, if you know what I'm sayin'...

OLD ABLE:
I'm afraid I don't.

MARKIE:
Whatever, we're still figuring stuff out. Anyway, it's the holidays, and it's our first gift-giving opp, and I just want to get them something, like, real rad. They are way into authenticity and books—it's like part of their identity, it's cute—so I thought I could find something here that could wow their little boat shoes off. We've had quite the adventure recently, and they could use a non-evil surprise.

OLD ABLE:
Hm. Come this way, I might have just the thing.

     [SOUND: FOOTSTEPS]
     [SOUND: SLIDING CASE DOOR]
     [SOUND: THUD]

OLD ABLE:
This is a paperweight made from the cast of a footprint from the fabled Greenman of Lacrimo Lake.

MARKIE:
I went to camp there. Hashtag pillow fights and pillow bites.

OLD ABLE:
You know, they say he still roams the shores at night—

MARKIE:
Wait, shut up—who is that hottie in that picture?!

OLD ABLE:
What's that, now?

MARKIE:
The picture behind you! Look at him. Oh, I totally would, I swear to gods.

OLD ABLE:
Well, that's me.

MARKIE:
(Laughing) Jokes! He's got jokes!

OLD ABLE:
It is. Look at the mole.

MARKIE:
(To himself) That reminds me, I need to talk to Madame B about that anti-aging candle. (To Able) So who's the old lady? She's kinda foxy. That your mom?

OLD ABLE:
That's...Adelaide Trunk. And Griwerrtown Canyon right behind us there.

MARKIE:
She looks, like, not quite emo sad, but...

OLD ABLE:
Eh, you don't want to hear about that. You'd never believe me. You kids. Always so bored. With your internet and your phones...

MARKIE:
Old man, if you had any idea about what I might believe. Try me.

OLD ABLE:
You sure? It's a long story.

MARKIE:
Gurl, I'm off from work, and it's snowing out there like a strip club bathroom.

OLD ABLE:
Alright, alright. Have a seat, then.

     [SOUND: SLIDING CHAIR]

OLD ABLE:
Not that one!

MARKIE:
Oh for fu—

     [SOUND: SETTLING]

OLD ABLE:
There, that one. (Beat) Ok, let's see. That picture was taken in 1959...

     [SOUND: ACTORS GRADUALLY FADING]

MARKIE:
How old are you?

OLD ABLE:
87. Now shut it.

MARKIE:
Holy hell. Just smother me.

OLD ABLE:
You say that now...

     [MUSIC: THE CANYON THEME]

OLD ADELAIDE:
The Canyon
Written by Patrick Emile

     [MUSIC: HOLIDAY MUSIC UND.]

OLD ABLE:
Like I said, 1959. May. It was a beautiful day, not too hot yet... (fading)

     [MUSIC: SOFT LIVELY UND.]
     [SOUND: OUTSIDE AMB.]

YOUNG ABLE:
And that, folks, is the true history of The Griwerrtown Canyon. To this day, scientists don't understand why the earthquake hit in 1918. We may never know, but we should always be prepared for the big one! And remember to tell your family, tell your friends: Able Canoe's Views to Amuse! Walking tours every Thursday through Sunday. My assistant Marv will take your picture just over there. Fifty cents a print, pick them up in a week or have them shipped. Postage not included!

     [SOUND: COINS JINGLE]
     [SOUND: CROWD MURMURING]

YOUNG ABLE:
Thank you. Thank you. Oh, I appreciate that, sir. See you next time!

     [MUSIC: HOLIDAY MUSIC UND.]

OLD ABLE:
And then I saw her. Just standing there. Looking out over the canyon. I'm not sure why, but I felt like she had something to say.

     [SOUND: OUTSIDE AMB.]

YOUNG ABLE:
Excuse me, ma'am? Did you miss the tour? That was the last one for the day, unfortunately.

OLD ADELAIDE:
You're wrong, you know.

YOUNG ABLE:
What's that, now?

OLD ADELAIDE:
About the earthquake. The Canyon.

     [MUSIC: THE CANYON THEME SHORT REPRISE]

YOUNG ABLE:
Apologies, Miss...?

OLD ADELAIDE:
Adelaide.

YOUNG ABLE:
Adelaide. Able Canoe, pleasure. But, how do you figure I'm wrong?

OLD ADELAIDE:
Oh, I mean no offense. You're wrong just the same as the scientists and everyone else. I should know—I was there. My family home was, well, just about where we're standing, in fact.

YOUNG ABLE:
You don't say.

OLD ADELAIDE:
I do indeed, sir.

YOUNG ABLE:
Miss Adelaide, would you do me the pleasure of regaling me with the tale? I pride myself on accurate and historical presentations. I would be much obliged.

OLD ADELAIDE:
Hm. I suppose it couldn't hurt, at this point. There is still time.

     [MUSIC: SHIFT TRANSITION]

OLD ABLE:
...and then we sat on a nearby bench and she began.

OLD ADELAIDE:
It was 1918. As I look back, I was so young; although, to suggest as much to me at the time would've appalled me—

     [SOUND: RECORD SCRATCH]

MARKIE:
Hold up. This is a double flashback?!

OLD ABLE:
What do you mean flashback? I met her in '59, and she told me a story of when she was a young lady herself in 1918. Relax. Why did you touch my record player?

MARKIE:
Oh, sorry. Um, how do I do this? Is it a touch screen, or...?

     [SOUND: ACTORS FADING]

OLD ABLE:
Just gently rest it back down. Gently, I said!

     [SOUND: NEEDLE DROPPING BACK DOWN]

MARKIE:
Got it. I got it.

     [MUSIC: HOLIDAY MUSIC UND.]

OLD ABLE:
The matter with you? Where was I...

     [MUSIC: SHIFT TRANSITION]

OLD ADELAIDE:
I must've been 27 at the time. I was working at Cologne At Last, the studio and storefront of the newly immigrated French parfumier, Flavian Auger.

     [MUSIC: FRENCH UND.]

FLAVIAN:
Oui, oui, mademoiselle I can assure you that in fact none of your peers have yet made such a purchase in all of Griwerrtown! You will be individual, singular—unique, even, no?

CUSTOMER:
It's terribly expensive—

FLAVIAN:
I will have it wrapped for you right away! Adelaide!

     [SOUND: CLAP CLAP]

FLAVIAN:
Where is the girl? She is never here when I need her and always under foot when I do not. Super agaçant!

     [SOUND: OUTSIDE AMB.]

OLD ADELAIDE:
Despite the occasional curses of annoyance, Monsieur Auger was very kind to me and my family. Or me and my mother, I should say. My younger sister was taken by fever as a girl. She was nine. My father never healed from the loss, and put himself completely into his work at the Henrikksen-Pope mines. He died in the collapse of 1911.

YOUNG ABLE:
My condolences, Miss Adelaide. The mine collapse is a tragic footnote in the history of the town.

OLD ADELAIDE:
Indeed it is. Afterwards, my mother began tailoring out of our home, Trunk House—she was a talented seamstress. It wasn't enough of course, so by the time of this story I had been assisting Monsieur Auger for several years. He was terribly absent-minded in all matters unrelated to perfumes and selling perfumes. I often found myself handling his accounts and re-organizing displays with him being none the wiser.

     [MUSIC: FRENCH UND.]

FLAVIAN:
Adelaide! Dépêchez-toi!

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
Coming! Coming.

     [SOUND: QUICK FOOTSTEPS]

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
Oh, well Mrs. Parker another excellent choice! We had actually just sold—

FLAVIAN:
Just turned away a hideous creature not fit for this scent! It is yours and yours alone!

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
...yes...yes that's correct, Monsieur Auger. You save only the best for our most beloved clients. Let's just wrap this up for you.

     [SOUND: WRAPPING]

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
There we are! Have a wonderful afternoon, Mrs. Parker.

     [SOUND: FOOTSTEPS]
     [SOUND: SHOPKEEPER'S BELL]
     [SOUND: DOOR CLOSING]

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
You can't be serious! That's the third bottle we've sold since just this morning. Shame on you, Monsieur Auger!

FLAVIAN:
Ah Adelaide, the ignorance—it is bliss, no? She will no doubt feel confident and radiate out, how you say, sensuality, to her lumpy husband in their lumpy bed, no?

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
Oh! Really, you mustn't speak that way, sir! I am but a young lady with an unblemished innocence.

FLAVIAN:
Unblemished like a pig in her trough—

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
How dare you! At least I am not ogling every posterior that comes in—

FLAVIAN:
I am merely analyzing the essence of potential customers—

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
Analyzing the essence! How ridiculous! I—

     [SOUND: SHOPKEEPER'S BELL]
     [SOUND: DOOR CLOSING]

FLAVIAN:
Bienvenue! Welcome!

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
Good afternoon! Please let us know if there's anything we can assist you with today!

     [SOUND: SMALL GROUP CHATTING]

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
We will discuss this later.

FLAVIAN:
D'accord, I must analyze some essences...

     [SOUND: FOOTSTEPS AWAY]
     [SOUND: DOOR OPENING AGAIN]

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
Good after—Oh. Hello, Mr. Warner.

     [MUSIC: CHEERFUL UND.]

DOMINIC:
Hello, Miss Trunk. I was hoping you'd be here.

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
I am always here, Mr. Warner.

DOMINIC:
I know! I know that. I meant, um, for—well, I'm here on behalf of my mother. Again.

FLAVIAN:
Dominic Warner, a pleasure to see you!

DOMINIC:
Hello there, Monsieur Auger. A pleasure, as well.

FLAVIAN:
Are you here for your dear mama? Or maybe some other pursuits? Perhaps something to do with notes of—how did you say, Adelaide? Unblemished innocence?

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
(Clears her throat loudly)

DOMINIC:
I'm not sure I know anything about that. But yes, I am here for mother. She asked that I acquire her usual night balm. That is, of course, if it is in stock?

     [MUSIC: SOFT LIVELY UND.]

FLAVIAN:
But of course! I am attending to my other clients, but Adelaide will take care of you in any way you please. Any way.

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
Yes, we just got some in, coincidentally. Monsieur Auger, is that new shipment of balms back by your personal stock? For your rash, I mean...

FLAVIAN:
Such a charming creature, is she not, Monsieur Warner? That reminds me, I will be leaving shortly to attend an errand. You don't mind closing la boutique by yourself this evening, Adelaide? After you sweep and dust, and see to the garbage, that is. Tres bon!

     [SOUND: CLAP CLAP]
     [SOUND: FOOTSTEPS AWAY]

DOMINIC:
Oh, by chance would you accept a ride then, Miss Trunk? I have recently become the owner of a type 4-45 Roadster. I'd be happy to come back later...

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
Oh, that's very thoughtful, Mr. Warner. But I couldn't possibly—

     [SOUND: FOOTSTEPS TOWARDS]

FLAVIAN:
(Calling out) She would be delighted, Monsieur Warner! I must insist, in fact. I can't have anything happening to my faithful innocent!

     [SOUND: FOOTSTEPS AWAY]

DOMINIC:
Innocent?

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
He means assistant. His grasp of English is oftentimes lacking. But yes, I accept your kind offer, Mr. Warner. I should be finished (to Flavian) closing by myself by 7:00. Will that be fine?

     [MUSIC: CHEERFUL UND.]

DOMINIC:
(Too loudly) Yes! (Normal) I mean, yes. Yes, that will be wonderful. For you. For the ride, I mean. For us. Yes, I'll be here. Until then!

     [SOUND: SHOPKEEPER'S BELL]

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
Mr. Warner?

DOMINIC:
Yes! Miss Trunk, would you like me earlier?

FLAVIAN:
(From afar) Earlier, later, now, again later...

     [SOUND: FOOTSTEPS AWAY]

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
Your mother's balm?

DOMINIC:
Oh, how silly of me. Ah, two jars should be sufficient.

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
Wonderful. I will be right back with those jars.

     [MUSIC: SHIFT TRANSITION]
     [SOUND: OUTSIDE AMB.]

OLD ADELAIDE:
I did end up closing alone that night. And I did end up in Dominic's impressive automobile.

YOUNG ABLE:
What a treat that must've been! Couldn't have been many of those around at the time.

OLD ADELAIDE:
Definitely not. I was more excited than I would ever have let on. Although, my enthusiasm might have been tempered had I known what was happening at home that very day...

     [MUSIC: SHIFT TRANSITION]
     [SOUND: RUSTLING THROUGH ITEMS]

ESTHER:
(To herself) Now, where did my leather needle run off to? Adelaide, you silly child, if you moved my things I swear on everything that's good in this world...

     [SOUND: OUTSIDE AMB.]

OLD ADELAIDE:
Our home, Trunk House, had been in the family since the early days of Griwerrtown. It was modest but stout and handsome. Mother and I worked hard to maintain the grounds after falling on such hard times. With father and Ramona gone—

YOUNG ABLE:
Ramona?

OLD ADELAIDE:
My late sister who succumbed to the fever in '07.

YOUNG ABLE:
Ah, right. Sorry, do continue.

OLD ADELAIDE:
Anyway, the house—it used to stand right about here, gradually shadowed by the ever-growing operation that was the Henrikksen-Pope Mining Company.

     [SOUND: KNOCKING]

ESTHER:
Oh well, now I'll never find it. Just a moment!

     [SOUND: RUSTLING THROUGH ITEMS]
     [SOUND: FOOTSTEPS]
     [SOUND: DOOR OPENS]

ESTHER:
Monsieur Auger, what a pleasant surprise!

     [MUSIC: FRENCH UND.]

FLAVIAN:
Bonne journée, Madame Trunk.

ESTHER:
Is everything alright? I'm afraid your waistcoat isn't quite finished. Did Adelaide—

FLAVIAN:
It is all quite well, madame. There is no urgency with the waistcoat. Adelaide is managing la boutique on her own for the remainder of the day. She is quite a capable young woman, much like her mama.

ESTHER:
(giggles) Oh go on, Monsieur Auger!

FLAVIAN:
"Flavian," s'il vous plaît! After all these years, there is no need for such formality, yes?

ESTHER:
Well, Flavian, (giggles) what can I do for you? May I offer you some tea?

FLAVIAN:
No, no, I must not impose, madame. I simply came to give you these.

     [SOUND: UNWRAPPING]

FLAVIAN:
Lozenges! Imported from the finest botanical pharmacie in all of France! Adelaide mentioned you were dry of the throat, and I am quite sure these can be of immense assistance.

ESTHER:
Monsieur Auger—Flavian, I am so touched! What a thoughtful gesture. Do please come in, so that I might repay the kindness.

     [SOUND: DOOR CREAK]

FLAVIAN:
Madame Trunk—

ESTHER:
Esther.

FLAVIAN:
Esther, très belle! Alas, I cannot stay. I—

     [MUSIC: CANYON REPRISE]
     [SOUND: CAR PULLING UP]

FLAVIAN:
You were expecting other guests?

ESTHER:
I cannot say that I was...

     [SOUND: CAR DOOR SLAMMING]

ATTICUS:
Well, this is a fine day, is it not?

     [SOUND: CLIMBING PORCH STEPS]

ATTICUS:
And an equally fine home, at that. Wouldn't you say, boys?

BROTHERS GORSEY:
We would say, boss.

ESTHER:
Gentleman, good day to you. I am Esther Trunk and this is Monsieur Flavian Auger. Is there something I can help you with?

     [SOUND: CREAKING/KNOCKING WOOD]

ATTICUS:
Yes, a fine home. Strong, strong bones. But there's a problem with bones, isn't there? Tell me, what's the problem with bones, boys?

BROTHERS GORSEY:
They break, boss.

ATTICUS:
That they do, that they do.

FLAVIAN:
Messieurs, I am quite sure you do not intend to be rude, but Madame Trunk has asked you a question, no? If you would be so kind as to state your business, s'il vous plâit.

ATTICUS:
Not from around here, are you, friend?

FLAVIAN:
Oh but friendship is earned, is it not? And I can assure you—

ESTHER:
Flavian, it's alright. Good sir, how may I assist you today? Are you in need of tailoring, or...?

ATTICUS:
My name is Atticus Pope. Of Henrikksen-Pope Mining. And these are the Brothers Gorsey. Say hello, boys.

BROTHERS GORSEY:
Hello, boys.

ATTICUS:
Mrs. Trunk, are you aware that your property is, as of this morning, now an island on lands owned by Henrikksen-Pope Holdings? An island considered to be an aggressor to our legal expansion. Show her, boys.

     [SOUND: PAPER RUSTLING]

ESTHER:
Mr. Pope, I'm afraid I don't understand—

ATTICUS:
I'm afraid we don't understand your absence at this morning's proceedings. I had the Brothers here personally deliver the summons, didn't I boys?

PERCY:
We delivered it last night—

MERCY:
—put it right here on the porch—

PERCY:
—but it was windy, boss—

MERCY:
—real windy, boss.

ATTICUS:
Oh, well that is a shame, isn't it? Still, the law does not take into account the wind when considering a citizen's lack of responsibility for official correspondence. Maybe you should've stuck it in with one of your knives, eh boys?

BROTHERS GORSEY:
Like these, boss?

     [SOUND: SWITCH BLADE]

ATTICUS:
The very ones. The very ones.

FLAVIAN:
Why do you threaten Madame Trunk in this way? This is most imprudent, no?

ATTICUS:
Cologne At Last, right Frenchie? With the perfumes and oils. And that pretty young girl. What was her name, boys?

BROTHERS GORSEY:
Adelaide.

ATTICUS:
That's right. Sweet, sweet Adelaide.

FLAVIAN:
You dare!

ESTHER:
Get off my property at once! I will ring the authorities if you linger but one more moment!

ATTICUS:
Not sure they'd be much help to you, Mrs. Trunk. The mines have a certain gravity to their influence. But, we'll leave you to consider your options here. Or should I say option, singular. Say goodbye, boys.

     [MUSIC: CONFLICT UND.]

BROTHERS GORSEY:
Goodbye, boys.

     [SOUND: CAR DOORS
     [SOUND: CAR DRIVING OFF]

ESTHER:
Oh Flavian, what will I do?

     [SOUND: OUTSIDE AMB.]

OLD ADELAIDE:
I wish I had been there. But I was busy being young and adventurous with Dominic and his dashing new car...

     [MUSIC: THRILLING UND.]
     [SOUND: LOUD CAR MOTOR/WIND]

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
(Over the noise) It's quite thrilling, isn't it?

DOMINIC:
What's that?

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
I said, it's quite thrilling, isn't it?

DOMINIC:
Say again?

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
Never mind!

DOMINIC:
It's quite thrilling, isn't it?

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
Indeed it is. (beat) A bit hard to hear over all the noise, however!

DOMINIC:
I'm sorry? It's a bit hard to hear over the wind and everything!

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
Would you mind terribly if I unbuttoned my skirt? Or would you prefer my blouse?

DOMINIC:
What's that now?

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
(laughing) I said I'm surprised how quickly we're approaching the house!

DOMINIC:
Sure, I can go faster! Better hold on!

     [SOUND: LOUD CAR DRIVING OFF]
     [MUSIC: SHORT INTERLUDE]

OLD ADELAIDE:
The rush of that short journey would fade quickly, however, upon arrival to Trunk House.

     [SOUND: CAR DOOR CLOSING]
     [SOUND: FOOTSTEPS]

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
Dominic, would it be terribly forward if I asked you to you stay for dinner? You know mother will insist after your generous offer to drive me home.

DOMINIC:
If you're quite sure, then I would be foolish to decline. But, may I ring my mother? Have the lines reached you yet?

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
They have, yes! Although I fear I am quite clumsy with the device, myself.

     [SOUND: FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS]
     [SOUND: DOOR OPENING]

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
Monsieur Auger, what on earth are you doing here?

ESTHER:
Adelaide! That is no way to speak to your employer! You simply must try again. You...(crying)...oh hello, Mr. Warner. I'm sorry...please excuse me.

     [SOUND: FOOTSTEPS FADING]

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
Mother?

FLAVIAN:
I am afraid your poor mama has had an encounter most terrible!

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
(Calling out) Mother! (To Flavian) What happened?

DOMINIC:
Is there anything I can do?

     [MUSIC: UND. INTENSIFIES]

OLD ADELAIDE:
But I wouldn't find out about Atticus Pope and his threats until later. Because at that very moment, everything would change. Forever.

     [SOUND: RUMBLING/CRACKLING/OTHER WORLDY SOUNDS]

OLD ADELAIDE:
It was as if lighting struck mere steps from our porch.

     [SOUND: BOOM]

OLD ADELAIDE:
Like heaven had rained its fury upon us. The very earth shook.

     [SOUND: QUAKING]

OLD ADELAIDE:
And as soon as it had started, it stopped.

FLAVIAN:
Mon dieu!

ESTHER:
Adelaide!

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
Mother!

DOMINIC:
Is everyone alright?

     [SOUND: DOOR CREAKS OPEN]

OLD ADELAIDE:
We opened the front door to see the impossible: a crater as if we had been transported to the moon itself.

FLAVIAN:
But this cannot be!

OLD ADELAIDE:
And then I saw...

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
There's something out there!

DOMINIC:
I'll turn on my headlamps!

     [SOUND: RUNNING]
     [SOUND: SWITCH ON]

OLD ADELAIDE:
Standing in the middle of the large crater was a woman. A few years younger than me, naked, and shivering. I don't know how, but I knew her.

RAMONA:
A...Adelaide...?

YOUNG ADELAIDE:
Ramona!?

OLD ADELAIDE:
And that was the night my sister returned. At the age she would have been. As if she had never died at all.

     [SOUND: RECORD SCRATCH]

OLD ABLE:
Time to change the record, kiddo! You ok with more holiday tunes?

MARKIE:
I'm sorry. What the motherfu—

OLD ABLE:
Fancy a drink? That snow's really coming down out there now. Probably done for the day here, anyway.

MARKIE:
Do I want a drink. You bet your ass, old man! It was her sister?! How the hell...?

OLD ABLE:
I'll get to it, I'll get to it!

MARKIE:
Damn right you will.

     [SOUND: STANDING]
     [SOUND: SHUFFLED STEPS]

OLD ABLE:
But first, I need to get my steps in. Walk with me, I like to do two laps around the shop. About all I can do these days. Too many walking tours! (laughs)

MARKIE:
Omg you are so old and adorable, I can't even deal with it. I just want to zip you into my fanny pack.

     [SOUND: FOOTSTEPS]

OLD ABLE:
You're what, now?

MARKIE:
It's where you would keep all your keep-me-alive pills...

OLD ABLE:
Shut it!

MARKIE:
...and like a weird butterscotch or something.

OLD ABLE:
Oh! Butterscotch fan, are ya? Now those I have! I'll be right back...

MARKIE:
This is the best day.

     (END OF THE CANYON CHAPTER ONE)



WRITERS ROOM with Tyler Lucas      27:55

PE: And we are back, brave listeners, from chapter one of "The Canyon." I hope you enjoyed it, it was a lot of fun to do, and we'll get to talkin' to Tyler about it in a moment. But first, that was brought to you by our Writer Wrong Rogues once again. So that was Bradford Reilly as Able Canoe, Cody Dry as Markie Pon de Lancie, Kris Kelly as Adelaide Trunk (1959), Amber Rossi as Adelaide Trunk (1918), Courtney Dyamond as Esther Trunk, Mindy Neuendorff as Ramona Trunk, Cameron Casey as Flavian Auger, Jovane Caamaño as Dominic Warner, Brendan Kallugher and Patrick Emile as the Brothers Gorsey, and Evan Michael Woods as Atticus Pope.

TL: Pope.

PE: And friends, additionally we have Cody Dry assistant directing "The Canyon" so we're very excited about that as well.

Alright, T-Ty, so "The Canyon Chapter One" lots to talk about. What did you think?

TL: Obviously it's great, and I'm not just saying that cause I'm your friend. It is great.

PE: Well that's good to hear.

TL: Obviously it's a different experience reading compared to listening to it.

PE: Right. Yeah.

TL: You get the sounds, you get put into the story itself rather than you putting yourself in. So it's kind of different than what you might be picturing as you're reading it. 

PE: Yeah.

TL: One of the things I wanted to touch on was the music itself—

PE: Oh yeah.

TL: —which is continuously I am astounded by the music of the podcast.

PE: Oh, thank you.

TL: It is so good! It's just amazing to hear all of the things you come up with. Like this is kind of Disney-esque. Especially when Warner comes in and it's like that prince charming effect.

PE: Yeah this one is a lot more romantic in general than the first two.

TL: Yeah.

PE: And you know, musically I wanted to do something that was more fully orchestral. So, "Spines" kind of had a mixture of some orchestral elements and some sort of pop elements. "The Griwerrtones" obviously is like a bunch more guitar and drums and all that stuff. And this one, because it's a period piece, multiple periods as we'll talk about—

TL: Yeah. Double flashbacks!

PE: —I wanted to go just full lush score.

TL: And it works great. It works.

PE: Thanks. Yeah, thanks.

TL: Yeah, and another thing I wanted to touch upon was the names you come up with for some of the things.

PE: Oh! Yeah. We haven't talked about this yet here at Writer Wrong.

TL: Yeah, like Cologne At Last. It's great! It reminds me of Bob's Burgers.

PE: Absolutely, I am a huge, huge fan.

TL: Yeah. Bob's Burgers, the puns.

PE: I pause that every time.

TL: To see what they come up with? Yeah.

PE: Yeah. Sometimes it goes by so fast. 

TL: It does. It does.

PE: I'm a huge Bob's Burgers fan. I love how they've built that world that, Coney Island—

TL: —esque. Yeah, whatever it is.

PE: —Whatever it's supposed to be. And all the names they come up with. It just makes it feel so solid.

TL: Yeah.

PE: And so, Griwerrtown, developing Griwerrtown as much as it's like a Stephen King homage or you know a little bit of Twin Peaks or whatever, it's equally as so with Bob's Burgers.

TL: Yeah, absolutely. Which is weird, I don't think anybody's ever compared Bob's Burgers to Stephen King's universe.

PE: (laughs) Yeah. But it's a very similar idea. Like if we're going to create this external world.

TL: No, absolutely. Yeah! I agree with you. It's just, I've never heard of that.

PE: It's a funny comparison.

TL: I have a question for you. So what were inspirations or something that inspired you through this process? What were you going for?

PE: Ok, yeah. So part of it is wanting to do something just different. As the Writer Wrong team to kind of flex in a different way, cause we did "Spines" which is this absurd black comedy about a cult. "The Griwerrtones" which is a who-done-it musical melodrama—

TL: Comicbook.

PE: —yeah, comic book, over the top, larger than life. So I wanted to do something that was natural. That was flirting with naturalism anyway. And when we started out on the podcast I had an idea to do a costume piece. I had nothing more than that. I just wanted to do a period piece, but I hadn't really started developing Griwerrtown yet. So then when we got to the point where my feet to the fire it's like, "I needed to do this" I was like ok but now I established this town so I'll just do Griwerrtown 1918 or as the case may be a few different times. But I'm a huge Downton fan, I'm a huge Gosford Park fan, Parades End. I'm just way into those anyway. I love the music, I love the romance. And then when I was writing "The Griwerrtones" and came up with the idea that Cornish's father drove himself and Cornish's mother off a cliff into the canyon to their demise I was like, "there it is, Griwerrtown canyon" so I'll set a piece, a period piece in early 20th century about Griwerrtown canyon. Which in my mind, listeners, is more like a gulch. You know? More like a gorge. 

TL: (laughs) Gulch, what a word.

PE: (laughs) Yeah, gulch. And so Griwerrtown Gorge would've been good, Griwerrtown Gulch, some alliteration but I just, "The Canyon" is a little more—

TL: Yeah, it's classier.

PE: Yeah, it's classier. Although in my mind it is not a massive structure. It's just a big crack in Griwerrtown.

TL: Ok.

PE: But it is an attraction.

TL: Right.

PE: And they don't know what caused it, and we don't know yet either. Apparently, it was an earthquake, but Adelaide seems to say that it's something else entirely. And we do know now there's a crater in front of Trunk house. So we'll see what happens next.

So, Tyler, what did you think about the structure? Because obviously there's three timelines. So not only is it a period piece but it's also a generational piece.

TL: Yes.

PE: And we have some callbacks going on and stuff so, was it clear to you? Did you find it easy to follow?

TL: I did. Because you kind of worked it into the story about the double-flashback and you did it in a humorous way which I thoroughly enjoyed.

PE: Right. Oh, thanks. So, I was confusing myself and then on the page, similar to what you were saying earlier, it's always different on the page than when you are immersed in it. And so on the page, I was like, "Is this clear?" So then I was like, well let me set up something where Uncle Able is listening to a record, which that works, right? And then Markie can literally scratch the record—

TL: Scratch it.

PE: —to bring us back and he's like, "come on double flashback!?" It just is a sort of a cheating way to drive it home. 

TL: But it's a smart cheating way.

PE: I think it feels natural.

TL: Yeah! Cause you do it jokingly where, first of all, the record scratch is a joke in itself.

PE: Exactly, yeah. It's such a goof. 

TL: Yeah. And then the double flashback, which is great, it's not like Inception where in Inception you have Ellen Page's character who is there for everybody to explain what's happening to her.

PE: Right, that's a good point.

TL: So instead of that you kind of acknowledge it but in a smart funny way within the story itself.

PE: Right and also along those lines because of the format of an audio play, I can't have any title cards flashing on the screen. Or any kind of windshield wiper transition—

TL: (laughs) Yeah.

PE: (laughing) —and then it says 1959.

TL: (laughing) Star...star wipe.

PE: (laughing) Yeah. Star wipe 1959. Star wipe again 1918. You can't do that. And additionally, I don't have an omniscient narrator for this one.

TL: Yeah, unlike the last—the previous "The Griwerrtones."

PE: Yeah. And "Spines." I don't even have the luxury of having somebody tell you what's going on. So, yeah, glad the record scratch is working.

TL: Yeah, absolutely.

PE: One more thing about the structure: Part of the idea for me that I think is fun, that maybe you or our listeners might enjoy is that, this story that's sort of built on the back of what we now know of as a mining town or a mining area in Griwerrtown it has sort of a mining history and that the conceit for the structure is that we're mining down into the story. Kind of descending down further and further until we get to the story at large. So I thought that was kind of cool.

TL: Yeah, yeah. I never thought of it that way with the mining going down. Yeah!

PE: So, genre-wise, what do you think so far? Is it falling into—does it remind you of anything? Or where would you place it in Blockbuster?

TL: That's a difficult question. It's very—I get The Notebook and Inception vibes obviously with the different structure going down. Specifically, like The Notebook where they're retelling a story. 

PE: Yeah, that generational romance.

TL: Yeah, but I'm also getting like Signs vibes with aliens.

PE: Oh! Yeah. Definitely.

TL: Something coming down.

PE: Yeah. I think that there's a little bit of a western in there, to me, as well. 

TL: Oh yeah?

PE: I've really enjoyed creating the character of Atticus Pope and the Brother's Gorsey.

TL: Yeah, it's like when the railroads coming in trying to disperse people.

PE: Absolutely. Yeah. That kind of archetype, totally using that. And also from a directorial standpoint, we discussed a lot of accents and how to do voice treatments. And Evan Michael Woods who plays Atticus, I gave him the option in the character description to do a mid-Atlantic thing or to do a high southern thing and he—in the studio ended up sort of designing this oil barren kind of sociopath. (laughs)

TL: (laughs)

PE: I was actually scared of him when he was doing his takes, it was really cool. And I like his choice. To me that helped ground this in this dusty frontier thing.

TL: Absolutely. Yeah.

PE: But it's also not as old as that.

TL: Right.

PE: So there's some costuming elements and then there's the romance and a little bit of whatever the heck is going on at the end.

TL: Yeah, yeah, what...

PE: So, I don't know, I think it might be genre-spanning.

TL: Oh Absolutely. You can't really narrow it down to one or two.

PE: Yeah. Adventure? Maybe? I don't know, we'll see what happens—

TL: We'll see where the story goes.

PE: —yeah, we'll see where the story goes. But I love a good adventure.

TL: Oh, absolutely. Who doesn't? The Goonies!?

PE: I mean, yeah! Any kind of Spielberg thing ever!

TL: Yeah. It's true.

PE: You know, Tin Tin? Come on.

TL: Come on.

PE: So, T-Ty we touched on this briefly earlier about—you mentioned the names and the businesses and Bob's Burgers and how I enjoy how they do their world-building. And so I wanted to gauge your opinion on continuously building this world of Griwerrtown here at Writer Wrong. And again, folks, Griwerrtown is an anagram for Writer Wrong, which I came up with for "Spines" I just needed a name for the town. And at the time we didn't know that we were going to create this whole world and so we've continued to do so. So we have Markie Pon de Lancie coming back from "Spines" seemingly in real-time because it's now the holidays, he wants to give—

TL: He's dating—

PE: Rory.

TL: Rory. And so that was around our own Halloween time, so—

PE: Right.

TL: —we're kind of following along like you said, in real-time. We're all trying to look for gifts for our special person.

PE: Exactly. Yeah. Yeah.

TL: So yeah, everybody can relate to that.

PE: Right.

TL: And it's fascinating that we're following along at the same time. And I know we met Uncle Able, or you mentioned Uncle Able at least in "The Griwerrtones."

PE: Yeah, so in "The Griwerrtones" when Cisco has his Sherlock moment with Tessa and her bagel and the fact that she went to go get Clobber's baseball card he determines that she goes to Uncle Able's Unforgettable's and so that's just another breadcrumb I left for myself. I didn't know that I was going to create Uncle Able as a character but I thought it was a funny name. And then we know about Rory, that Markie reinforces this for us at the beginning of this story, but we know about Rory that they are sort of—Rory has very specific tastes.

TL: Specific tastes.

PE: So Markie naturally goes into one of the weirder shops in town, meets Uncle Able, and goes from there. We also in "The Griwerrtones" establish that the Henrikksen family, Cornish's ancestral family is one of the founding families of the town and now we're starting to get a sense of why, because the mining company that seems to be very powerful here in 1918 Griwerrtown is the Henrikksen-Pope holdings. Although I didn't want it to have any kind of Henrikksen character because here is my question to you, when is it too much?

TL: Uh, that is a very good question, a very valid question.

PE: Yeah.

TL: We're not there yet.

PE: Ok, that's good. That's good.

TL: I think when you maybe start planning ahead for it, I think it might get a little bit too much.

PE: So far it's been relatively natural.

TL: Yeah, you're just leaving breadcrumbs, like you said.

PE: I am. I am.

TL: You're just leaving breadcrumbs. When you leave like a whole loaf that might be too much.

PE: (laughs) Yeah, well put. So, for instance, Uncle Able—Markie's like, "I need something for Rory" and Uncle Able's like, "I have just the thing this is a paperweight but it's the cast of a footprint of the fabled Greenman of Lacrimo Lake"

TL: Which is so funny to me because Markie specifically asks for something non-evil and it's the most spooky weird thing that he—

PE: (laughing) That he probably has in the store.

TL: Yeah.

PE: But that's another breadcrumb, you know? But, is that a loaf?

TL: No, I don't—I don't think so.

PE: If the next story I'm like, "Hey, check it out, brave listeners, it's the Greenman of Lacrimo Lake Chapter One."

TL: (laughs) Yeah. Maybe if it's not the next episode?

PE: Yeah, right. Right.

TL: Or the next one? But maybe four or five stories down you go to the Greenman? Maybe yeah.

PE: Yeah. Cause I do think that would be funny to explore in Griwerrtown some sort of crypto-zoological— (laughs)

TL: Yeah. Like swap thing.

PE: Exactly yeah, or some sort of bigfoot or who knows. Alright, well it's good to hear that I haven't jumped the shark yet on all the tie-ins.

Brave listeners, that brings us to the options. So T-Ty we have two options here.

TL: Yes we do.

PE: So, folks, obviously the question is, what is going on with Ramona Trunk? Just sort of showing up—

TL: What is happening?

PE: (chuckles) Yeah, what is happening? She shows up, she had died as we know, she was taken by fever from some ailment and now she has shown up having lost no years and has—wherever she went she aged accordingly. Or is—

TL: That was my question, did she come back as she looked as when she passed? Or was...

PE: No. So she—

TL: —she has aged.

PE: She died at nine—

TL: Ok.

PE: —and has now shown up at twenty-something and Adelaide mentions, "somehow I knew who she was."

TL: Ok. Ok.

PE: Cause that sisterly connection. 

TL: Right, right, right.

PE: And so she recognized that it was her sister just grown up. Now we don't know anything beyond that. We don't know how it happened, if it's actually Ramona, we don't know.

TL: Ok.

PE: So that leaves us our two options, basically what's going on with Ramona? So Option A has to do with Ramona very specifically. So Ramona's mysterious reappearance is tied to her unusual nature. We learn along with Adelaide that there is more to Ramona's story than previously understood. Now option B is more about how Ramona is here as a result of other forces. So instead of Ramona having a very unusual other-worldly nature, option B is Ramona's arrival is a result of some revealed consequences to the Henrikksen-Pope mining operation. More becomes clear about the collapse that took their father's life, potentially. So Option A is something's weird about Ramona and maybe we learn that she's a foundling or maybe—

TL: There's something about Ramona!

PE: (laughs) And then option B is somethings going on with the mine. So maybe Atticus and the Brother's Gorsey know something about the nature of that. Maybe the mining collapse has something to do with how somebody could come back from the dead. We don't know.

TL: Yeah what was going on in the mines? Who knows?

PE: Right, so there are our options. Are you leaning towards either one?

TL: It's difficult, I want to choose one of the options but as a listener outside of today, every option that I've wanted has been chosen.

PE: Oh! Batting a thousand.

TL: So I'm batting a thousand and I don't want to ruin the average.

PE: Oh!

TL: But, I mean if you—gun to my head I had to choose—

PE: (whispering) You have to choose. You have to choose.

TL: I would choose A.

PE: Ok!

TL: Although, I think with option B you could a little bit more with the world-building aspect with the mining.

PE: I agree. Yeah.

TL: But I'm leaning towards A because I want it to be more about Ramona and less about—although there are consequences to mining.

PE: Yeah. (laughs) You're right. Right. So that means option A, things we could do are like I said Ramona was maybe adopted or she's a foundling and Adelaide doesn't know this and Esther's like, "Adelaide, we need to talk about Ramona, she's not actually your blood sister." So that's something—that's one way we could with Option A. Or maybe Adelaide begins to tell us about how it was growing up with Ramona. Maybe she could move things with her mind—

TL: Yeah.

PE: —or, you know, who knows? I think there's a lot of cool things you could do there. I am leaning towards Option B.

TL: Ooooooh.

PE: I am, I am.

TL: I thought we were friends.

PE: Well, we were but you know, back in March, when the last time I saw you.

TL: Oh, that's...ouch.

PE: Slice.

So, I like Option B because I think that you can still flirt with this idea of otherworldliness whatever it is, I mean there's no flirtation anymore. 

TL: Yeah.

PE: Something otherworldly is going on. I don't think it's necessarily aliens. Although—

TL: It could be.

PE: Yeah, I'm not throwing it out the window just yet. But, I think it could be cool to get into the mining operation to get into what happened in the collapse. 

TL: Absolutely.

PE: Yeah. Maybe the father saw something down there during the collapse that we don't know about. Because Option B you can design some scene work that is outside of the preview of Adelaide. Therefore—

TL: True.

PE: Yeah. Giving some information to us as the audience. 

TL: A little descent action?

PE: Exactly. Yeah. I just think that B has more branches of possibility. 

TL: Fair, fair, fair, fair enough. So now that you have put your stamp on Option B I will put my stamp on Option A.

PE: Oh here we go, folks.

TL: I will put it there. I will—

PE: Ding. Ding.

TL: This is the hill I will die on.

PE: Alright, folks, so there you have it. Option A, Ramona's mysterious reappearance is tied to her unusual nature. We learn along with Adelaide that there is more to Ramona's story than previously understood. And that is Tyler's choice. I am going with Option B. Ramona's arrival is a result of some revealed consequences to the Henrikksen-Pope mining operation. More becomes clear about the collapse that took their father's life. And there you have it, my friends, we will find out what happens next time in two weeks with "The Canyon Chapter Two." Tyler Lucas will be with us once again, thankfully. Tyler, you did a great job, my friend.

TL: Oh thank you so much.

PE: Yeah, loved having you on the show. Can't wait—

TL: I loved being here.

PE: Yeah, great! I can't wait to get into this more with you.

TL: Yeah, I'm glad to see you again and not eight months.

PE: Yeah, it'll be just two weeks from now. It might feel like eight months—

TL: It might. We'll see.

PE: —after all the wonderful work we've done tonight. Alright, folks, so as you know we are Instagram, we're on Facebook, we're on Twitter. WriterWrongPodcast.com check us out on Patreon. Any little bit helps.
