And now, a thanksgiving mixtape from DJ Squarmalot himself coming up right after a few more words for the grownups. It's my favorite time of year thanksgiving. You know, normally put thanksgiving I have family over to the old homestead. We cook a big meal and enjoy each other's company. But this year I've decided to do something different. I'm treating the whole worm family to a trip and we're not just going anywhere nope. We're escaping the cold by going somewhere warm and sunny. Somewhere we can sit on the beach and lay by the pool and sit frozen dirt drinks. We're going to Miami baby. And that's why I'm coming to you today from a plane from road 37 Seatby. That's right. I'm already in my seat ready for takeoff. The rest of the family is meeting me in Miami. So I'm just planning to put on my sunglasses, recline my seat all the way and snooze all the way to Miami. Talk about a relaxing thanksgiving. Hello passengers and welcome to one night at Airlines flight 37 to Miami. We're so happy to have you aboard. Please sit back in the lax as we prepare the cabin for takeoff. That's right. Attending on the inner come sounds a little familiar. Could it be? Nah. Come on DJ Scrimmerlack. You really need to relax. Attention passengers. This is your flight attendant. We're currently six thin line for takeoff. So please keep your seat belts fastened. Thank you. Six in line. That's a lot of planes in front of us. I hope we're not too delayed. Attention passengers. We are now 15th in line for takeoff. Sorry. 15th. How did nine more planes get in front of us? Okay. Just try and relax DJ Scrimmerlack. This is the beginning of a relaxing vacation. And no one can take that away from you. Not even that flight attendant who sounds... ...vacally familiar. Hello passengers. We're sorry about the increased delay. To make it up to you, I decided to sing a little song. This is one that I wrote myself. Here it goes. Him. T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T And that's it! That's the whole song! It's a work in progress! Anyway, just a little update. We're now 24th and 9th pre-take-off. What?! We apologize for the delay. I'll be coming through the cabin with some complimentary snacks and beverages for you enjoyment. Well, that's something at least. Excuse me, sir. Would you like a beverage? Me! DJ Squirmalat? What are you doing here? What are you doing here? This is my job! You tried to tell me that when you're not making the story-pire's podcast, you were a fly attendant on a Worm airline! Uh, yeah. Got to pay the bill somehow. And besides, I'm really good at being a fly attendant. Do you like my song? Your... song. Yeah! The song I just sing for everybody over the intercom. Uh-huh. Did you like it? Did I? I... like it. Yeah! Did you? I'll just have a bottle of water, please. Oh, right. Your beverage. Here you go. Thank you, Lee. I'll have a snack, too. Do you have any dirt? Ooh, sorry. We're all out of dirt. How is a Worm airline out of dirt? Um, sir, I'm going to have to ask you to lower your voice. Ah, we eat dirt! Sir, as a representative of Worm-Nighted Airlines, I must inform you that if you continue to speak to me like that, I will have to send this plane back to the gate. No, no, no, no, don't do that. Don't do that. I'm sorry. I'll keep it cool, calm, and respectfully. Don't you worry about that. Okay. Thank you. Now, I better get back to the front of the plane. Looks like we're close to taking off. Woohoo! I mean, woohoo! See you later, DJ Squirm lot. Bye, Lee. Woo! This flight is really something. But at least things can't get any worse. Attention, passengers. This is your captain, Peter speaking. No! But don't worry. We're in line for takeoff and there's only a few planes ahead of us. Let me count real quick. Um... Okay, never mind. That's 178 planes. Get cozy. You were gonna be here a while. Oh gosh, I got mail on the controls. Does anyone know how... You know what? Listen, there's why don't we go ahead and hear today's first song while we wait. From an eight-year-old and New York named Jethro, he is traffic a nightmare. We can traffic from what seemed like ever. They each got to order a pizza and eat the whole thing. That's two pizzas. They walked a mile, then a mile back. Took a 25-hour nap. They brushed their teeth and trimmed their nails. But they barely moved it all. They were stuck for two centuries. The show is seven decades, five years, three seasons, one month, two weeks, four days, nine hours, 52 minutes, 20 seconds, and six weeks, and a million seconds. They were going to the ice cream shop. Ice cream shop. Ice cream shop. Ice cream shop. They bought a fighter card to go 500 miles an hour. We drove back to the old town to get the mail. There's almost 3,000 miles away. Don't we came back to the traffic and finally reached a fence in the road. Thought it would be over, but those are who were stuck quite a ways to go. The traffic, one night, and seems like an effort. I'll wait until the 12,000, 12,000, just every five miles after they turn that bed. Going to the ice cream shop. Ice cream shop. Ice cream shop. Ice cream shop. Ice cream shop. Ice cream shop. Ice cream shop. Ice cream shop. Ice cream shop. Ice cream shop. Ice cream shop. Ice cream shop. Welcome back to the StoryPers. Thanks for giving me the 2018. I'm your host, DJ Squamalat. A Squam Squamalat. And I finally have some good news. Our plane took off. We're officially flying the friendly skies on our way to Miami. At last, I can relax. Attention passengers. This is your flight attendant speaking. Here we go again. I was so happy to hear such a positive response from all of you passengers about my song. Excuse me. In fact, I got such a positive response that I decided to sing it for you again. Please. No. Please. De-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de I'm playing, I'm playing, I'm playing, I'm playing It's pretty similar to the first verse Playing on a plane Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah How long is this slide exactly? And that's the end of the second verse. It's a short one. Now, before I get off this darned inner common leave you all alone I do have one more announcement to make. Oh boy We have a certain celebrity on today's flight and I just wanted to give them a little shout out You don't say I wonder who it could be It's the world's greatest DJ while also happens to be a worm DJ Squamalot! Give me a level of applause everybody Me? Well, I'm so flatteredly! Doesn't mean no that a shout out over a plane's inner common is the greatest accomplishment a DJ could ever ask for I've been waiting my whole life for this Thanks for flying with us DJ Squamalot. I really mean that. Now, I'll be dimming the cabin lights so that you can all rest and relax for the rest of the flight Am I dreaming? This is heaven! I love it! Ah!
