Smell-O-Vision was a post-war movie theater gimmick that delivered well-timed scents to the noses of audiences to align with the movie. Did it work? Sort of. Did it ultimately fail? Yes. Does that mean it has gone away forever? No.

Invitations apply welcome to stuff. You should know a production of iheart radio, the you're welcome to the podcast. I'm josh clark is charles, w chopper, bryant and jerry's here and the three of us. When you put us together, smell like cotton, candy little known fact about stuff, you should know
you know what I gave my daughter.
cotton, guinea for some she's ever had it canny false. Just
a couple of weeks ago at the zoo.
I have drawn janni elsa gimme, some of that they want to see- and I have had in so long and boy. It's just that. The nostalgia
blast of that
of melting on your tongue
did not enjoy it like t really
The rose
flavour was it like regular, containing liberated the tree here too,
the blues, the same as the pink I dont like where this is going. Well,
at a cotton jenny machine as a kid growing up a little. Do it at home, deal white, clia, nokia,
money bags, trust me. This is again.
five. Ninety nine sears item, I'm sure did you have this new peace, no co machine to now
We can, therefore that is at a name brand.
you and I are both very famous for having
very unbranded giles if it's true, but we didn't have any kind of cotton keenly mission. We were generic family kids, so
while your cotton candy machine when you're a kid, did you overdo it? Is that what you're saying? No? No! No! I just want to throw that in there to show off. I told Ruby that I that had one when I was a kid she's like really is yeah. That's it yeah
gross in and we made white candy thought so it
it tasted all spend the taste isn't coming.
The full coloring. I don't know if true she retorted
smell vision, yeah, okay, I forgot, we hadn't even mentioned it yet we're talkin bout smell, a vision which is exactly what it sounds like. It was a really neat, interesting, gimmick,
it was tried. In the beginning, the advent of the nineteen sixties, most people say where they,
tried to accompany motion pictures with
smells in the
actually way that they accompany motion. Pictures with sounds like you, like you put
sounding in moving pictures together.
It's just so intuitive in its come so far that the world that we live in, you can't really imagine it. Otherwise, even if you ve seen the artist, it's still tough to imagine right there
trying to do that, but with sense- and this is the first attempt in unfortunately-
is not a very successful
which is why we don't have smell of vision. Today, that's right
dave areas. Are our helped us out with this? This is
fun. Surprise one of our old house of works, writers
bedridden work in the office with us.
but he was one of our long term- freelancers, Patrick Hager, wrote a book likes eighty years ago, called popular
breaker colon
the history of the feds mavericks inventions in law. For that
into modern america yeah
I think that such a good job with this melanesian section
away times, writer, Martin J smith. Again,
like seventeen eighteen years ago.
Wrote an article about some elevation and used patrick's book a lot, so we also relied on the stuff in there was. I want
pick up a books and school yeah, it's a very good article or chapter
I guess they accepted in its.
Basically the definitive story of smell of it because it such it
it's a narrow story, there's a few characters and it happened.
this really narrow timeframe. It's just
it has a store is one of those those topics,
just has its own story in a yeah absolutely,
and we'll get into the story story, but the first movie that they used it on
touch on later was called scent of mystery, and
but you get the idea they would pay them. Like you know,
there's someone was smoking, a pipe. They would pipe in the smell
echo smoke right or
If someone was like in a basement, they would
I've been some kind of dusty basement, smell, mellow cadavers, usually with something hopefully kind of nice like that
the peach orchard and seen the name they they peach smells and things like that
but, like you said it was not a big hit at all
I think time did you mention that the term named at one of the worst fifty inventions get in
this is along with ddt, agent, orange and the baby cage. So there's
This really saying something what else recently was on that list are alive so now
our lied to the topic of our lives. There was a century that I've got you, men are less show was one of the richest in future to the less the theme or less hundred years. It was a good joke. It was a good joke, unintentional, but so pretty get yes, you're right. Our secret topic for the wide shortly you're exactly right now,
gave away that. If you go look at that list of a hundred worse ideas of the century from time you will stop
well across our topic, but you may not know that. That's it yeah!
You know it's not smell of vision. Now, too,
he married it down a bit yet.
No ninety nine other chances so
who
a company coming up with a signature sent as a big thing these days
we do want to underestimate
as far as
since, because it's very powerful there are
very famous signature, sense of like hotels and stores and stuff like that
as far as using odor
entertainment they were doing this in stage plays it.
in the eighteen hundreds, and I would bet before that even sure
Apparently they like cedar owners would would basically do with it
it kind of
make the whole scene that you're you're seeing being portrayed just that
it's more realistic by incorporating smell along
with sites and sounds right.
They didn't want you to touch the actors and you are allowed to lick the actor. So those were the three that they were allowed to work with you and it's
understandable. Why? Because I mean, if you think about it like, like you, were saying, like
it is a very powerful since they, if you could tell me
that correctly. You could really blow someone's mind with a stage further
and eventually a movie- and there was the basis of this whole thing. In retrospect, it was gimmicks
it's silly, its midcentury yum, it has a name like smell a vision, but,
if you really dig down into the story. You fine like this is a really earnest genuine project. That was your. It is completely transform film making for the better give them
like you said earlier, they thought it was gonna, be the
revolution like adding sound, which is
I've funny like this, isn't something that appeals to me,
Even though will look at to forty later on and talk about that, but the first
movie here to try anything like this, the united states was-
and for a city, Pennsylvania was called the family data should, and it was only by roxy.
the felt an ironical you as a provider for you to write that was it the stuff
It is gullible day for you. I was the last episode of so gullible. Can you imagine a triple x theatre? She called the fair
The feel.
That was the joke.
But thinking from Roxy and like-
sir. I gotcha I'm totally missed it.
My game, hey,
It's okay, man, all as a matter of fact, I'll, just retract that whole thing. No, I get it. That's the name for a theater chuck, the family theater now showing deep throat exact. Ah alright, so the family theater was owned by roxy, rothwell and roxy is someone we talked about in our rockets,
the episode because
This person will go on to open up the radio city musical and rockets. Were
they called the rocks yet, but in
eighteen o aids,
he owned. The family theatre,
got a newsreel and nineteen sixteen, but about the
whoa parade and said: hey, I'm gonna
the smell of of rosa oil, ended
theater and faded in there, and that was sort of the first little attempt at something like this yeah
I mean I think that was kind of one of the things when they added like interior ventilation systems. They people figure
you do not only move air around the theatre pretty quickly. You can move sense around the theatres of em.
A short order. Other eater started trying the same thing, others
the theatre in boston and nineteen. Twenty nine. There is a detroit feeder and nineteen forty three and it
in a sporadically of was, was attempted at, but
wasn't until a guy named HANS lab
this gonna go with whose swiss, who was an inventor
and in all molly.
To somebody who studies the science of smells and
and it wasn't until he came on somebody said, I'm I'm making this work, I'm to make this happen and really like dedicated.
himself to it absolutely
He had made his name removing smells,
not sure what chemicals he used. I was
king, all over for it well
this disease of ozone is not good at all. Well,
I tell you men, someone stole our car like I'll you every years ago. I remember that in may
two click, yes,
joy, road and wrecked it for a few days, and it smells like smoke three
I was in cigarettes and has been a three days yet and we get.
The thing back in until the entrance coming as I man, I don't care what you do. We're not take
his scar back, there's no way it's arrogant, smell the same again right. They said o using ozone treatment and it
didn't smell like cigarettes smoked, but it smelled funky the after
at an inn. We fought to the near with a maoist. Like you know, we can't we can't drive around like
ozone has its own smell in its also super reactive, and you dont want to breathe it in luckily as a very short like lifespan, but it's
you don't want to be around. Those are basically now.
that cars, not in our family, no more by the way it had bad energy. After that we don't want any part of it yeah I am
pretty understandable, again totally see that now,
so yeah, I guess he was doing ozone too. That was what I came up with the most anywhere with that year. He was. He was using chemicals to remove odors
and then he said hey. I could reverse this whole thing and add odors and movie theatres, and
debuted that idea at the thirty nine forty worlds, fair in new york,
his partner robert births?
and they had a thirty five minute filled- call a film called my dream or mine trauma. I guess it was in german
and they had thirty two different chemical odors that they pumped out during this thirty five minute film
Yeah, that's almost a smell a minute. Yes, then he called
it sent a vision but
It's nicer smell a vision for sure I mean they're, both gonna goofy, a pair
It generally work to that
times which would become
one of the biggest problem.
I ideas of smell of vision later on will endorse,
this is back in the night. Yeah
thirty nine nineteen, forty years before it actually was attempted in feature film, but they said that they call they called it. A smelly
instead of a talkie ran. They said that you know some of its work to think bacon. Didn't work very well but
incense worked really well is very commencing in I guess they had the timing down and all up there. The projectionist was actually running d, I'm not just the film but also
the scent emissions as well he's chief walter, yeah,
alright. Well, maybe we should take a break
I will come back and talk about more smell, spread of this
the

So what have you been up to name lobby or lobby lab lob?
so my successful debut with his intervention
but no one jumped on the saying it was about ten years
before. Anyone really cared to do any more exploration. Because of a funny thing that happened,
course of world war, two
before the word movies were a very big deal after them,
or movies were still with a big deal, but tv had come along by that point, right,
sort of like the meaning
peter owners now being worried about people to streaming everything home. There were
people are just gonna watch tv now, so they want to up.
anti emerge in reviewing in person experience,
the theatre and smell of vision was one of those first ideas gap.
They do another one. I can remember. I think the movie was called the schiller, but the the
The producer installed electric
sharks into the movie theater seats, patrons carer willie what he called it. It was like that
where they needed to do something they address, couldn't possibly do at home, and
cool tide is dumb few. Here,
He wasn't the guy who really was like. Ok, we're gonna make this work.
Nickel tug junior was the guy who ended up making it work, but his father.
todd senior who
those random bit of trivia on a website called in seventy millimeter dot com. It is about the movie biz
and he the the author, said that Michael Todd senior, he was born. Every hirsch, gold, bogan use polish and
he adopted his son's name. So michael tug junior came before Michael todd senior in that interesting. That is super interesting,
their strange, but
outside of it is michael tide, was a producer. He was at first a vaudeville producer, then a broadway producer and eventually became a film producer. That's right,
and he was,
the best known if you ve ever seen,
at a the and then the end of a film manner. He kind of help pioneer the seventy millimeter format yet and incineration scope there,
it's a white screen format. It's probably a whole episode of short stuff on itself.
but today I was a company, is still around, I think
in some capacity, but a very
sort of inventive and enterprising guy. Basically,
but you said he came, knocking around hollywood. Eventually, actors broadway run an they right out of the gate, had a very, very big hit with a
we called around the world and eighty days yet, if an almost
This movie is the big dave you for smell, a vision did decided, not you. I feel I kind of at the last minute
yeah, I'm very wisely too, because so Michael Todd junior ain't seen year, this is their first.
Production and they won the oscar for best picture for that year. Nineteen fifty seven,
beat out giant with rock hudson James dean was taylor. Michael Todd was seated
extra was taylor. Could they'd just got married couple months before winter
it has movie, be hers for the best picture. They also be
ten commandments. So it was like a big
I feel that these essentially outsiders had just walked in
produce such a great movie and in one best oscar, he didn't.
With very long after that he died in a plane crash. I think the next year in nineteen fifty eight
I'm by his son, just terry,
Carried on the mantel, they were like actual collaborator, so there's just no
no question whether Michael tye junior is getting continue on, but I get the
The junior was more into the idea of smell of vision and senior was because it was an insult after senior died. That junior said I'm gonna make this happen that right,
but he got in touch with loud and said
Do this one movie must give it a shot. It's gonna be called sense of mystery.
we're gonna, we're gonna, have all sorts of you know me
and they re gonna. Bugs me, I'm not a big treaty. Guy did bugs me when they do shots that you can tell by cleaning
hitherto diversion it's like they did that thing coming at the screen clearly
This is sort of like a treaty gimmick friday. The thirteenth part three did that alot
dear mean even modern treaty movies. Do it a lot if you like to have, you know, have
a couple of shots in their words like something is flying right at the camera and yet
It is in two d: it's like a you know. They did that. Just for the three d yeah I'd see a man movie. They did a good job with it like Kevin bacon's, playing with a yo yo in the shots from underneath, and the jojo was coming like right at you. Wait
the first one wendy
and the third one
he's the only one who's, the guy who does the think he's sick. I do in the handstand, you gets a certain half from the bottom up by
jason with the machete? Okay, that he isn't the
almost positives his hand, saying I am staying at leno is at his credit. I do know that'd be pretty great.
I don't know yet he I've he could have been in the first man twos and everything. Of course, the ito unit, multiple ones, unless you Jason, is you get packed up right,
jason corey Feldman right was he
He was only five or six. I think only saw a couple. This anyway,
that's what they did wish sent of mystery. Is they they added all kinds of little gags in there to to sort of take place to time out with the smells which you know, you can't blame on with they're trying to debut this new thing they wanted it. You know:
we incorporate it and they did in a big way yeah they they, the like they. There was the first motion picture written to
smells associated with it
as will see later on, there is a picture that was
retroactively retro fitted with smells, but this one was like were
I mean to have this smell. Come out at this part in the script right, yeah, exactly so
that the like we said like lobe, was love. I know you remember how he set his name any more. He was a consummate.
Inventor ears,
fairly genius from what I can tell
he had invented what he called the smell brain, which is like
center essential component
The smell of vision,
and we should say
did you say you call it sent a vision originally near one of the stipulations of his contract, with michael tug junior
but they're, going to change it to smell of vision, right begged, if you
apparently Michael saw junior was ass like. Why didn't you change it to something more dignified needs it. I dont understand it can be dignified about a process that introduces smells into a theatre,
No, what you could call it that isn't gonna cheeky,
but the extent of vision still worked. I think it was great, but anyway
This smell brain was like the central component of the entire smell, a vision process,
this year, and this is one of those things it.
Yet you and I both. I think it can and knocked out about mechanical solutions to things and
this was that exactly it was a big box.
all these chemical vials with these since in them
and that was attached to a belt that was attached to a motor and
simply would as
movie plays its timed to queue up,
these smells incense and it would just basically load up into place. The belt
rotate on cue and then a needle,
is inserted into the vile and
spits into a fan that pipes it through
who, in this assorted the key. I thank and yes, we'll get into more this later, but it painted
into
ideally would pipe it into vince there.
not just go through the air conditioning or heating system or whatever, but under each side
like miles and miles of disturbing yeah pressure, and that was
like you, said, that's the key a pair
leave. It worked really really well. Michael Tag. Junior gave lobe a loud
that's what we've been saying, how distracting
gave him an entire theatre in chicago to basically set up like a proof of concept and at work
Very well, I think
you started working on it in nineteen, fifty seven, nineteen, thirty eight there's a
There is a discrepancy between when this whole thing premier it as will see either. Ninety
Fifty nine or nineteen sixty, but
for they could get it out to market in. I think new york los angeles in Chicago they they somebody.
did them to it right here,
you got him walter reed your junior year.
Had roma rama, again pretty cheeky, I
think it's better than smell of vision is minimal
coming smell of israeli fit that midcentury age. You know she was so. Does the roma roma,
back then that they both color whenever pretty well
the kind of words with tail things you know to mean yeah yeah totally
This is in new york at the de Mille theater, and this is the one that you reference. He didn't actually make a movie from scratch to work with.
A roma rama. He bought the rights too
a documentary.
Called behind the great wall of sort of a travel documentary about china and
the key
she's a roma roma in that way in peace,
did not like it critically deep. They said
to start. I think the new york times
the smells were elusive, oppressive or
country and banal Ivan risen.
The same reviewer went on to say that that that treaty
in between smells. That was meant to clear the air had its own
dickie sweet smell that quotas
to become upsetting before the film has run its full two hours.
And then when the reviewer left the theatre they happily,
sell their lungs. With that lovely fume laden new york ozone, it has.
First smelled, so good,
in the review, you're going for when you're releasing the first smell, a visionary aroma, rama picture well
and on the bad reviews of that they even mention the upcoming scent of mystery letter, which is definitely
What do you want when you're, following up someone who had had
the wine ahead of you right,
we got it a terrible review, like they gonna terrible review by proxy, basically yeah exactly so
one take a break and come back and will tell everybody about. Does exactly what happened when sent a mystery premier cliffhanger list
but the

it's time for the senate, MR de premier and michael todd junior spin.
Am talking it up. He has a famous quote where he said that he hopes people find it sensational, boobs that he's that kind of guy yeah and and the I
the film itself was paid
fairly well received.
It was directed by gun inject cardiff, whose cinematography, sir, I think you cinematography, for black
narcissus. If I'm not,
Mistaken
and one an oscar for it, but he said he signed under the sun cause he said
Script was very well written and really dramatize the smells, which is mainly
the press to quote if I've ever been right there. I think he promises is said. Like I needed the money. Can we all disagree on that being a, but he directed
and again it was a pretty little film. Dental meliot,
beloved actor.
Was Indiana jones mentor and the first couple of police.
Well what about marcus? Yes, he play out. He was the lead incentive. Mystery crazy
and Peter lorry was as sidekick cab driver
whole thing is set in spain, has its own travel log kind of quality to it as well. So the first two smelly pictures:
We are essentially travelogue one in china, one in spain, but
how can one had like come a murder, mystery plots with impostors and all that and those
We ve gags that you are talking about like,
They really had a lot to do with the movie, like that they twister the weight that the solution to the mystery. The dental meliot figures out, is based on a smell,
he could tell it. The woman is talking to is claiming to be someone else is in.
Passed her because she was wearing the different perfume and the audience is smelling. That kind of stuff- that's gonna, fun, yet another guys rooted out as one of the evil doers because of the smell
of the pipe tobacco that he's smoking like there's a war,
you know some of it was gratuitous like
eight. They did the whole thing when you were talking about where they pull
fresh bread out of the oven right and as other they
shove it into the camera, and the amateur stays there for a little while secured a fresh bread smell, but the the the
They really kind of went to great lengths to make it so that the smells
I had so they were all just gratuitous. They really did have something to do with the plot gear.
I think some that blood centric stuff could become a fine, but back then I'm sorry,
I don't the into it today, but again we'll get
forty coming up? Ok,
The new york times again was not too kind have had some pretty bad things to say, patrons sit there sniffing in snuffling,
but a bird dogs trying hard to catch the sent an
you know. It was just a big flop.
A overall,
and this is something I can verify, but
hans, allows daughter, carmen claimed,
Michael todd, junior cheap doubt on the
commit conversion into the into the other theatres and not taking it to each seat.
it was like we said. Really one of the keys is to make sure
gotta be time just write like you can have the same piping in from an area
twenty feet over your head that you smell in two minutes later, when the scene is already long gone in the
bill key was having a under each seed and she claims that they didn't do that and that's what
The big reasons. Why failed? I,
kind of like you
direct references. That's kind of support that claim that the first premiers flopped, but then
it did some technical adjustments and they got it all figured out
so I'm wondering if, like they went in and did the two behind it is facing all that they really screwed up by trying to save a few box. The problem is:
the new york times it already reviewed it. It was
mean because it was a gimmick people like to see.
mixed fail or I this. If a gimmick fails, people tend to find that satisfactory. If its successful awesome it becomes legendary- and I will be- is having a completely different episode right now, but if a gimmick fails people of jumping on it
I young man,
so had a pretty great one minor. He said that he didn't
understand the movie because he had a cold
how does a great one liner, apparently I'm alone here very by its is it just gets smear
because people likes meetings, other people who travel
new things yeah I'm so it had dear
in small window to be successful or not not wasn't successful and that small window in so that was it there was a flop and then that was it for smell of vision and emily was that for smell of chuck there was
it for hans lob and
michael tug, junior as well yeah they cancelled
they're gonna expand to a hundred theatres. They cancel that order.
Carmen hound, slobs daughter, said that you know he basically
I'd penniless now
kristen penniless. He died with debts even river. He did invent something that again
didn't bring him riches but sort of the the
beta version of
but you would call a glade plugin or something today, yeah
called best air, but
that didn't work, even though it was pretty ahead of its time. Yeah Michael Todd Junior went off, he didn't produced anything else, apparently
two others scripts, that he trademarked one was called
kids holiday, end
description I saw was there it's a maid was just a man riding a bus
and that there is no dialogue of any kind well like,
What would there have been like? I would love to see somebody make that movie cause. How would you even attempt to make their interesting? You know them
just like that title, I gotta snap up right
so they never got made. The other was called creature from the bronx. They never got made either interior to never produced another another movie. Again, I dont know if he died broke penniless with debts. I think
they had some encounter still from.
Right, I'm saying lay cons, love, I'm saying I'll! Think michael tie junior did oh, oh, oh yeah, his career petered out. I think it is how I saw describes the moonlit said
A couple of films have gone on to do something like this
later on, John wanders was very famous for
nineteen. Eighty one film polyester in theatres, coming with the little scratching snip card within it that you would do you would use very
very funny and kitty. Obviously, John waters is gonna do something from like that, but what sense where they were?
I mean, I think fart was a very famous dirty shoes. Skunk
was it. You know peaches and life back right. Exactly
and then the bureaucrats go wild movie as an o, my just what they call. They did the same thing in two thousand three with their film
and then there been more modern stabs at this in the way of forty yet dave
I think we said at the outset helped us our doesn't. He mentions the first for de movie theater
ever created
was called the sensorium
located at six flags power plant.
he's been park in baltimore,
I think now is like coal power plant life or something like that of the bear it.
is like butthead in the nineties. Jammed india like one call building from when I write em both.
Ninety made for the open. The sensorium indeed said he went there and, like the seats moved in rumble wherein they ve hit him with
corn, smells and stuff like that sprayed with water, dissimulate rain. I believe an edge
it's like with smell of vision, with hans loeb in his and his attempt at the world's fairs, basically proof of concept of the world's fair, and nobody did much with it after that and that six flags closed in nineteen. Ninety until I went
Twenty years later, when
south korea in company, came up with the forty exe
still around today.
Yeah I mean that's the next wave
I have not tried it out yet, like you said it premiered in two thousand and nine in south korea, and there are twenty one effects. So it's not just smells it's like kind of what dave experiences scott,
seeds are moving and rumbling and rocking back and forth the help seat back skin. Like punch you
they'll be fog or cold or hot air
when he smells, and there are close to eight hundred of these theatres opening, I'm sorry operating in
today I have not gone and want to try it out. I don't think
I just want to see what is like. Oh, I can assure
You are probably won't like it right,
but I will say that this progress and it s an unusually greater mentioning here before called to scary, didn't watch it
these three girlfriends too
One of them loves horror, movies, the other
hate them, but they want to know what happens. Sergey watches and the men recap some severe and is a really fun show in semi. Smart is one of the co host, who has a great name? Yes, Amy scrape.
She watches these movies.
The horror movies, she's gonna watches I'm an she.
It's a four d acts for the top gun movie,
and she said she had a blast anomalies.
Yes m me, someone who, like is
judgment in opinion. I buy value, so
based on that alone, I'll give it a shot. So I'm gonna try out forty
so that my source, which is a quartz article, called I watch batman, vs superman at a forty theater see you don't have to buy Adam at eighteen. Alright, it's basically the opposite. He was saying that, like there's a part where some a character gets shot in the back and his c,
punched him in the back.
Some reason he said his hair was ten away for good and all the other sing like like a king.
It's like. Why would you want to stimulate that in a
well honey. That's the whole deal his were. His point
this, this is the upshot, as is he would probably said. If were me, it did the
possessed of pulling him into the movie, they reminded him exactly where he was at every single moment in air and chatting him from getting into the movie.
itself. Ok
yeah yeah
Yet he didn't really like it at all and from what I've seen. Basically, a review is is similar to that
that for apparently sammy smart trivia well
I think Sammy thinks it was a full throated endorsement. I think it was like she said. I had a really good time that this movie then this experience I gotcha
coal, which is different. Sometimes in saying like this
awesome in the next wave. You right, I'm waiting, but
its hanging on to in there
it is in there's a: u can get this in your home. Now, there's a company from Spain called all aroma there.
we'll sell you it's sort of earth to foot
it looks like about one foot box cannot forget box van right,
and you can load up to twenty smells. I think for the basic
three five hundred dollar package and it did
the same thing: it sinks up with your movies,
software and
You can go all the way up, like twenty grand, if you wanna forty smell version and you can
in your home, theater yeah
reminds me of the ice smell
for a further number, we talked about the old apple, peripheral and overtook out. That's what my aid plugged into your computer and did the same thing.
I've gotten about that. I will
worst things you allow me a please
so they went back in they kind of items.
Think they'd made any at its whatsoever, they just re title the scent of mystery,
in two holiday in Spain,
so I call center MR anymore
took away the smelly parts, but because they written this, the script around
smells, I saw it
a daily telegraph for viewers said it took on a bath
in almost surreal quality in some parts of it,
where the bread is pull out the oven and then
I kept it in the middle of the screen for one thing became like an art gel yeah it didn't, it didn't, make sense anymore. I thought that was a great description of it. I want to see it now. Maybe I should watch it or you got anything else
Maybe you should watch it together and we should just provide each other with surprising smells
I see great idea. You know that
interested idea. Let's give them a up. Don't sync up like the bread comes out of the oven, and that's when I
Do you like motor oil or something needs the thousand meet all these motor oil and, like that,
