00:00:14
Speaker 1: Q and A which we had over on Supercast. That's right,
00:00:18
Speaker 1: it's time to learn even more about Potato and Beans,
00:00:21
Speaker 1: our roller skating diner Cats Cocoa Club members sent in
00:00:25
Speaker 1: their questions, and Potato and Beans replied, I'm going to
00:00:29
Speaker 1: read them out to you today so we can all
00:00:31
Speaker 1: learn even more about their lives in the middle of nowhere. Now. Remember,

00:00:57
Speaker 1: I love hearing your guys voices, so why not start
00:01:01
Speaker 1: with a voice note that came in from the lovely
00:01:03
Speaker 1: Maya go ahead, Maya Oka.
00:01:06
Speaker 2: Happepai down Beans and my food, Sydney, And for years
00:01:12
Speaker 2: out I would write, fing out, what is freaky searing
00:01:17
Speaker 2: your diner?
00:01:19
Speaker 1: Very good? What food you selling your diner? Perfect? Okay,
00:01:22
Speaker 1: you're going to say pieayon beans and the cats replied,
00:01:29
Speaker 1: we have all sorts of food at the diner. Lots
00:01:32
Speaker 1: of breakfast food like pancakes and eggs and waffles. They're
00:01:36
Speaker 1: all the delicious food you can imagine for lunch and dinner.
00:01:40
Speaker 1: We also have desserts like fruit pies and warm cookies
00:01:45
Speaker 1: and chocolate pudding. Missus Pig cook's big, towering burgers and
00:01:51
Speaker 1: makes crispy fries and hearty stews. She's the best cook
00:01:55
Speaker 1: in the world. Ozzie tried to add nitem to the
00:01:59
Speaker 1: menu last week, cooking us some sea algae on toast.
00:02:03
Speaker 1: It was sloppy and soggy and not very good, so
00:02:06
Speaker 1: we're not putting it on the menu. Ozzie can stick
00:02:09
Speaker 1: to Missus pigs recipes in future. Sophia asked what's Potato
00:02:15
Speaker 1: and beans favorite color, favorite adventure so far, favorite bedtime story,
00:02:21
Speaker 1: and finally, she wanted to know whether they have a
00:02:24
Speaker 1: snugly when they go to bed. Potato and Beans replied,
00:02:29
Speaker 1: my beans favorite color is the orange of the canyon rock.
00:02:34
Speaker 1: When the sun starts to set, it's beautiful, and Potato
00:02:38
Speaker 1: Potato says her favorite color is custard yellow. I think
00:02:44
Speaker 1: my favorite adventure so far was meeting Hector and Sonny.
00:02:50
Speaker 1: It was amazing to make friends with such funny dogs.
00:02:53
Speaker 1: As for Potato, her favorite adventure so far is one
00:02:57
Speaker 1: that you might not have heard yet when we went
00:03:00
Speaker 1: on a road trip down Route sixty six. Our favorite
00:03:03
Speaker 1: bedtime story is the same my mum used to read
00:03:07
Speaker 1: it to us when we had sleepovers. It's called The
00:03:10
Speaker 1: Owl and the Pussy Cat. Abby read it on Kohala
00:03:13
Speaker 1: Moon recently. Anything with a cat going on in an
00:03:16
Speaker 1: adventure is great to us. Oh, we like the catch
00:03:20
Speaker 1: Tonauts stories too. When we go to bed, we each
00:03:24
Speaker 1: have a toy to cuddle. If not, Potato starts cuddling me,
00:03:28
Speaker 1: and in summer it gets too hot for that. Also,
00:03:33
Speaker 1: she snores, Mine is a soft, cuddly, squishy one that
00:03:37
Speaker 1: looks like a hippo, and Potatoes is a rabbit with
00:03:40
Speaker 1: really long ears. I call mine waddle and she calls
00:03:44
Speaker 1: hers flops. Charlie and Leo asked where the cat's got
00:03:49
Speaker 1: their names. Bean said, well, our parents named us much
00:03:55
Speaker 1: like you. I suppose me Beans I was named because
00:03:59
Speaker 1: I have little splotches of brown on my fur in
00:04:02
Speaker 1: the shape of beans, dark ones like kidney beans, and
00:04:06
Speaker 1: light ones like butter beans. As for Potato, she says
00:04:10
Speaker 1: her Mama named her that because she's as white and
00:04:13
Speaker 1: fluffy as the most delicious creamy mash. Finally, Emma had
00:04:19
Speaker 1: another question about when the cats were kittens, where did
00:04:23
Speaker 1: they meet, how did they start their diner, and can
00:04:27
Speaker 1: happy read a story about their childhoods. We also had
00:04:31
Speaker 1: a similar question from Harry, which went like this taped
00:04:35
Speaker 1: Potato and Beans.
00:04:37
Speaker 2: I'm just wondering, did you sign does a building and
00:04:42
Speaker 2: then make it your diner or did you build the
00:04:45
Speaker 2: diner on your own?
00:04:48
Speaker 1: First up, we met at kitten Kindergarten where we used
00:04:51
Speaker 1: to play together at the toy kitchen. We always got
00:04:54
Speaker 1: on like a dream, like strawberries and cream or cheese toast.
00:05:01
Speaker 1: I always knew Potato was the funniest cat ever and
00:05:05
Speaker 1: that would be best friends Potato here. As for me,
00:05:11
Speaker 1: I knew straightaway that Means was really kind and would
00:05:14
Speaker 1: look out for me, and I was right. That's why
00:05:17
Speaker 1: we're friends forever. We started the diner when we were
00:05:22
Speaker 1: old enough, and we built it from nothing with some help,
00:05:26
Speaker 1: of course. We designed the diner and picked out the
00:05:29
Speaker 1: decoration and painted the walls and brought in the furniture.
00:05:33
Speaker 1: It was our dream ever since we were kittens. We
00:05:36
Speaker 1: will tell Abbe that you want her to read a
00:05:38
Speaker 1: story from our kitten herd, and she'll see what she
00:05:41
Speaker 1: can do. Which story would we choose? Potato the time
00:05:45
Speaker 1: we made roast dinner cupcakes for science fair, or the
00:05:49
Speaker 1: one about that school baking contest, the one where you
00:05:53
Speaker 1: ended up with icing all over your face. Potato says,
00:05:58
Speaker 1: we should tell you about sport when she ate all
00:06:01
Speaker 1: the boiled eggs we were supposed to use for their
00:06:04
Speaker 1: egg and spoon race. Now here's some questions from Willow
00:06:09
Speaker 1: and her family. They asked, do you like when Abby
00:06:14
Speaker 1: tells stories about you? Also? Did you know that Willow
00:06:18
Speaker 1: was a Cocoa Sleep member and who taught them how
00:06:22
Speaker 1: to roll a skate? Potato and Beans replied, first up,
00:06:28
Speaker 1: we love when Abby tells stories about us. Not only
00:06:32
Speaker 1: do we get to live the adventures, but then we
00:06:35
Speaker 1: get to hear them again as we fall asleep. When
00:06:38
Speaker 1: we listened to Kuala Moon, I find that listening to
00:06:42
Speaker 1: our stories gives me the most wonderful dreams. Last night,
00:06:47
Speaker 1: I Beans dreamt I went down the plug hole of
00:06:51
Speaker 1: the diner sink with us. He and I grew a
00:06:53
Speaker 1: mermaid tail and swam around down there in the bubbly water. Oh,
00:06:59
Speaker 1: and I Potato once had a dream that I went
00:07:03
Speaker 1: swimming in a big pot of custard that Missus Pig
00:07:07
Speaker 1: was warming on the stove. It was lovely. Next. Yes,
00:07:12
Speaker 1: we knew you were a Cocoa Club member, Willow, because
00:07:14
Speaker 1: we listened to the shout outs. When Abby says hello
00:07:18
Speaker 1: to anyone on the pod, we say hello to and
00:07:21
Speaker 1: wraggle our paws at the speaker. As for learning to skate,
00:07:26
Speaker 1: we didn't have a teacher. We got the skates in
00:07:29
Speaker 1: the post and we learned to skate all on our own.
00:07:32
Speaker 1: That meant there were lots of crashes and tumbles and
00:07:36
Speaker 1: giggles as we learned. As with anything, practice makes perfect.
00:07:42
Speaker 1: But for the first few weeks we wore helmets, elbow
00:07:45
Speaker 1: and knee pads just to keep safe. Simone wants to know,
00:07:51
Speaker 1: do Potato and Beans have any pets? Have they ever
00:07:55
Speaker 1: gotten to go to Dreamland and have they seen the
00:07:58
Speaker 1: Jupiter twins? The cats replied, first, we don't have any pets.
00:08:06
Speaker 1: We're too busy looking after the diner and ourselves for
00:08:10
Speaker 1: that matter, although we've been discussing getting a pet caterpillar.
00:08:15
Speaker 1: That way, we can watch it munch leave spiled a
00:08:18
Speaker 1: little cocoon, and eventually turn into a beautiful butterfly. How
00:08:25
Speaker 1: cool would that be? Then we could let it flutter
00:08:29
Speaker 1: around the diner and rest on the potted plants. Next. No,
00:08:34
Speaker 1: we've not been to Dreamland, although when we met Hector
00:08:38
Speaker 1: and Sonny they told us about it and it sounds amazing.
00:08:43
Speaker 1: We need to befriend Sydney the squirrel so he can
00:08:46
Speaker 1: send us there. Next. Finally, we haven't met the Jupiter Twins,
00:08:52
Speaker 1: but we have heard of them again through our friends
00:08:55
Speaker 1: Hector and Sonny. Apparently they have broomsticks they can fly on.
00:09:00
Speaker 1: That's so cool, and they can do magic spells. If
00:09:04
Speaker 1: only we could do that, I'd turn Potato into a frog.
00:09:08
Speaker 1: Ha lol, just kidding, Potato. Oh, she said she'd turned
00:09:12
Speaker 1: me into a pumpkin in revenge. Megan asked if the
00:09:16
Speaker 1: cats have ever met Munchie the raccoon. Potato and Beans
00:09:21
Speaker 1: said no, we haven't, but we've heard stories about him,
00:09:27
Speaker 1: and he sounds like he'd be right at home in
00:09:30
Speaker 1: our diner. We've never been to Sleepy Forest before, actually,
00:09:35
Speaker 1: but it'd be really cool to go there on another adventure.
00:09:40
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll call crabs cabs soon and book a ride there.
00:09:45
Speaker 1: We could visit the Pizza Toopia and maybe have her
00:09:49
Speaker 1: go delivering pizzas or Munchie's pizza mobile. Fiachra asked how
00:09:54
Speaker 1: long the cats have been running the diner and they said,
00:09:58
Speaker 1: we've been running the diner for ages. Now, how many years,
00:10:03
Speaker 1: Potato she said a hundred, but she can't count so well.
00:10:10
Speaker 1: I think it's been about six years. Hopefully we'll be
00:10:14
Speaker 1: running it for at least one hundred more.
00:10:17
Speaker 2: Though.
00:10:18
Speaker 1: Then we had a couple of questions from the Lovely Sophie.
00:10:22
Speaker 1: She asked, do Potato and Beans get many customers at
00:10:26
Speaker 1: their cafe? And what type of customers do they get?
00:10:31
Speaker 1: And here's their reply. Now, we get a lot of
00:10:36
Speaker 1: customers coming through to the diner. We may be in
00:10:40
Speaker 1: the middle of nowhere, but there are always people driving
00:10:44
Speaker 1: by on road trips from state to state. We also
00:10:48
Speaker 1: have regulars who live in the wilderness nearby and who
00:10:51
Speaker 1: drive the long distance from the nearest towns to taste
00:10:54
Speaker 1: missus pigs food. We have customers of all species, mostly
00:10:59
Speaker 1: animals and very rarely humans too. Our regulars include Detective
00:11:06
Speaker 1: Hash Brown and Dallas Cassidy. The Cowboy. Oh, and Barbara
00:11:10
Speaker 1: the Sheep. She's always here. It's often busy, but never
00:11:13
Speaker 1: too busy. It's always fun and we always have time
00:11:18
Speaker 1: to chat with the customers. Finally, Anna Lisa asked a
00:11:23
Speaker 1: question that might help a lot of you. She asked
00:11:27
Speaker 1: whether Potato and Beans think that her dogs go on
00:11:30
Speaker 1: adventures like Hector and Sonny. She has two. The diner
00:11:35
Speaker 1: CAATs replied, Wow, that's a good question. We know Hector
00:11:41
Speaker 1: and Sonny, and to humans they just seem like normal pets.
00:11:47
Speaker 1: Their owners have suspicions that they're a little bit magical.
00:11:50
Speaker 1: But when the dogs head on their adventures, time freezes
00:11:54
Speaker 1: and their owners are none the wiser. So I think
00:11:59
Speaker 1: it's very possib or that your dogs do go on adventures.
00:12:03
Speaker 1: Maybe sit your dogs down and ask them and look
00:12:08
Speaker 1: closely at what their eyes tell you. If they don't
00:12:12
Speaker 1: like their a little sparkly, it means they do. That's
00:12:17
Speaker 1: it for tonight's Q and A, Guys, I hope you
00:12:19
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. Who would you like to ask? Questions to next?
00:12:23
Speaker 1: Join us over on Supercast for more fun. Now, does
00:12:27
Speaker 1: anyone fancy a bedtime story? Pick out an episode and
00:12:31
Speaker 1: I'll see you there, Sweet dreams,
