Just Desserts Transcript

[Pompeo Mixon]

MarkDude, that stuff will kill me! Besides, on Yugopotamia, this is desserty tooth-rotting goodness. [eats a mouthful of the veggie sundae, which rots his teeth in a matter of seconds] (muffled) Want some?

Cosmo: Wow. Nobody is listening to me. I feel like Wanda. Oh well. [poofs up a cake] You know the old saying: "When in Rome, let them eat cake." [eats a whole cake and drinks a glass of chocolate syrup] Ahh... [checks the time and gets a sugar rush, going cuckoo and eventually exploding] Whee!!!

[TV shows the traffic moving real fast, then shows the world record stadium, then later, panning into the 1st person getting medals from all world record sports and later at the studio, it shows Chet Ubetcha in a Viking suit and on the last night footage, he is wearing the same thing from today and singing operas]

[Cuts to the school bus getting to Dimmsdale Elementary School in under one second and students get off the bus and go to their classes at a very fast pace. The bus then leaves and Chet Ubetcha along with several other people are running a marathon. Cut inside Crocker's classroom, Mr. Crocker jumps into the classroom, performing a stunt and holding tests and shaking like a cold chihuahua.]

[Twenty-eight days later, everyone is overweight and fat (except Mark Chang.) Inside the bedroom, a now morbidly obese Timmy, with a plateful of cake resting on his fat belly, breaks the bed in half from his girth while lying on it, causing the cake to flop onto the floor. The camera pans to Cosmo and Wanda, also morbidly obese, covered in chocolate and munching on desserts.]

[As the school bus reaches Dimmsdale Elementary, it collapses under the weight and several bulbous kids roll out. Cut to inside the hallways where several kids are rolling around like bowling balls. Timmy is loafing around in the middle of the hallway.]

[Francis makes a grab for Mark, but Mark easily dodges it and walks away, Francis and his gang following slowly behind. Francis then passes out from fatigue and Tad's electric scooter breaks down from his weight.]

Timmy: Well, at least Francis doesn't have the energy to bully anyone anymore! This turned out to be a pretty good wish after all. [chomps on a chocolate bar as the bell rings. He then tries to stand up but is too tired, so he instead rolls off to class]

Crocker: So, a planet's orbit is relative to its size and distance from the sun. Only a significant shift in weight in one area of the planet, oh say, the size of Dimmsdale, could unbalance it and send it wobbling into the sun! Now if you'll open your desks, you'll find... MORE DESSERT!

[The chunky kids open their desks and pig out on the desserts and sweets hiding in them. They are super happy and as they munch, they get even fatter. Trixie's belt buckle snaps in half from the sudden weight gain of this pig out session. All of a sudden, the student's chairs collapse under their weight. The floor collapses under their weight as well, and the kids get stuck in the floor, making the whole school sink one level and the whole city of Dimmsdale rumble and shake with zest and zeal.]

Timmy: Now just up the stairs and... [cannot lift his weight up the first step but is sweating and unable to.] Oh, man... I'm so unhealthy, I don't have the energy to climb stairs! So I'll just have to bring them downstairs. [jumps up and down, cracking a hole in the ceiling and causing Cosmo and Wanda to crash through the ceiling to the living room floor who are now fatter than before]

Timmy: [tries to lift Wanda's arm but his hands just sink in her fatty arms. The fat absorbs the limited force given.] Oh, man, you were right! You do need healthy foods to have the energy to do things... like lift your arms!

Cosmo: [proceeds to pull weird objects from his tummy folds, including a wheel, an airplane, an elephant, and a sheriff] Not Wanda. Not Wanda. Not Wanda. Not Wanda. Hey, here's the cowboy hunting that other cowboy!

Perry goes dive to his water bowl and is briefed by Major Monogram in his lair. Monogram informs Perry that some smell of sugar and icing are coming in Doofenshmirtz building that might be doing something evil and sweet. Monogram tells him to stop Doofenshmirtz and then Perry leaves via jetpack.

Meanwhile, Perry arrives at Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated and is greeted by Doofenshmirtz and traps him in a gingerbread house and offered him some gumdrop slippers. He explains to Perry why he couldn't take over the Tri-State Area because of dinner parties. He says that his brother, roger hosted some amazing dinner party with his charms that Doofenshmirtz thinks, what if that the party was over before it began. Doofenshmirtz then built the Bring-Out-Dessert-Inator since everyone knows that when the dessert comes out that the party is over. He then plans to launch it around roger's home to fire at his home to keep bringing out desserts that will lose his charms and interest to him so that he could take over. As Doofenshmirtz starts to ramble about his monologue, Perry then throws one of the gumdrop slippers at the inator that causes a ray to hit Doofenshmirtz to make him bring out a dessert. Doofenshmirtz then realizes that his inator works and is annoyed for being hit by it, and Perry then throws another gumdrop slippers to the inator and makes Doofenshmirtz get another dessert. Doofenshmirtz gets annoyed for getting his by the inator again and he tries to force Perry to eat the dessert, but Perry bites his hand and causes the bars on the gingerbread house to break. They both start a dessert fight, shoving dessert in each other mouths. As they continue to fight, they both start to have a sugar rush.

Back at Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, Perry and Doofenshmirtz are still suffering from the sugar rush and they both start jumping up and down since it's fun and to see which one of them will crash first from the sugar.

As Perry and Doofenshmirtz continue to jump up and down, Doofenshmirtz feels the sugar crash and sees the Bring-Out-Dessert-Inator was launching, and that roger's dinner was about to start. Perry then suffers a sugar crash and sees the inator fly away. Doofenshmirtz tells him that there is nothing he could do, but Perry takes off his fedora and eats some Protein and carbohydrate food to get his energy back and follows it via jetpack. The Inator then fires and hits Linda just as she and the other guests arrive at the backyard and offers everyone some dessert.

Perry finally reaches the Bring-Out-Dessert-Inator and Doofenshmirtz talking to him via speaker that can't stop it in time when it reaches roger's home until he inadvertently stated that the self-destruct button was right next to the speaker. Perry quickly presses it and destroys the Bring-Out-Dessert-Inator. Doofenshmirtz curses Perry for it.

Doofenshmirtz: Can you do this, Perry the Platypus? Can you jump really fast, up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down? Yeah, that's it, Perry the Platypus! Doesn't it feel good? Let's be jumping buddies. Let's just eat dessert and jump up and down and up and down and up and down all day. It'll be our thing. Just remember: I-I invented this. Because I am the inventor.

Please enjoy this transcript of my conversation with Greg McKeown (@GregoryMcKeown), author of two New York Times bestsellers, Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less and Effortless: Make It Easier to Do What Matters Most.

So I feel really good about 2024, and of course, the text that kicked this whole experimental walk and talk podcast off. For people who have no context, in case we use this, I am walking around with multiple forms of audio recording attached to my head and my hips, and I am really appreciating the combination of locomotion and conversation.

Not doing TV studio light, but what if I actually did the opposite? So what would the opposite look like? Well, instead of sitting in a fixed location, I would be moving and I would double down on lightweight so that my production would actually become more lightweight, not more heavyweight. And let me test that for a month and sprinkle it in and see what happens, because I can always go back to the other. But from the perspective of trying to think for myself and not succumb to group think, and also just external pressure, but also trying to not just avoid pain but produce wellness in my life, this is an experiment worth running. So that is, yeah.

This Brand Feature was actually recorded last February, when it just so happened that my family and her family were in Cabo at the same time. My oldest daughter Sadie (who you often see featured on our page, on Sweet Apricity page, and on Instagram) helped to babysit her young daughter on the beach in order to make this interview happen. It was amazing to meet like this and we didn't mind taking time from our beach week to make this interview happen.

Kerry: We were actually in my New York City apartments. We were just getting to know each other again as friends and she was teaching me how to bake and it was just in my kitchen and we would just learn how to make different cookies and stuff and, and so it was right there in the city.
