1
00:00:03,725 --> 00:00:04,640
Luxury...
2
00:00:05,288 --> 00:00:06,441
Refinement...
3
00:00:07,131 --> 00:00:08,066
Power...
4
00:00:09,496 --> 00:00:12,915
These are three words
which I would use to describe
5
00:00:13,042 --> 00:00:16,017
the 2001 Buick Park Avenue.
6
00:00:16,818 --> 00:00:21,928
Combining engineering excellence and
a classic interpretation of the style,
7
00:00:22,551 --> 00:00:27,979
Park Avenue is truly one of
most beautiful American cars.
8
00:00:30,064 --> 00:00:32,949
Hello. My name is Joe Pera,
9
00:00:32,959 --> 00:00:37,589
and I appreciate the good fortune of
drive a car like this,
10
00:00:37,599 --> 00:00:41,568
equipped with the engine
V6 of the 3800 series.
11
00:00:42,343 --> 00:00:45,941
Probably more sophisticated than that
that I would have bought for myself but,
12
00:00:45,951 --> 00:00:48,369
it was left to me by my grandfather.
13
00:00:49,335 --> 00:00:52,436
Sometimes my colleagues mi
they tease by saying:
14
00:00:53,174 --> 00:00:56,949
“Which widow will you take to dinner
of meat this Friday night?"
15
00:00:57,331 --> 00:00:59,251
And because of his
size and color,
16
00:00:59,261 --> 00:01:01,905
my students there
They call it "God's car".
17
00:01:03,006 --> 00:01:05,993
At the end of the day, though,
It's just a really nice car
18
00:01:06,003 --> 00:01:09,017
which does not intimidate the
people no matter how beautiful they are.
19
00:01:09,756 --> 00:01:11,612
And it has satellite radio.
20
00:01:13,532 --> 00:01:19,820
Joe Pera takes you to do
an Autumn Walk
21
00:01:21,159 --> 00:01:23,831
I'm happy you were able to join
to me on my autumnal stroll,
22
00:01:23,841 --> 00:01:27,502
the route I take there
Sunday right after Halloween.
23
00:01:28,430 --> 00:01:32,510
It's a tradition that began when
I was trying to answer the question:
24
00:01:33,349 --> 00:01:36,849
"Why do lantern pumpkins mi
Are they that scary, dammit?”
25
00:01:37,811 --> 00:01:39,276
Excuse the expletive.
26
00:01:39,286 --> 00:01:44,027
It's just that, for a long time, they're not
managed to understand why they made me nervous,
27
00:01:44,243 --> 00:01:48,146
even though I'm older
and mightier than them,
28
00:01:48,578 --> 00:01:50,470
and I have a credit card.
29
00:01:51,832 --> 00:01:54,159
I mentioned it
when me, Gene and Lulu
30
00:01:54,169 --> 00:01:58,125
We were helping grandma distribute
candy at Halloween 2013.
31
00:01:59,409 --> 00:02:00,896
Maybe it's the teeth.
32
00:02:01,468 --> 00:02:05,386
Maybe you're so upset because
they are not used for...
33
00:02:05,396 --> 00:02:07,331
for livestock feeding.
34
00:02:08,002 --> 00:02:08,675
Yes.
35
00:02:09,476 --> 00:02:11,872
But I think there is one
deeper reason.
36
00:02:12,108 --> 00:02:14,782
The reason is because,
when carving a pumpkin,
37
00:02:14,917 --> 00:02:17,113
you give him a piece of your soul.
38
00:02:18,387 --> 00:02:19,235
Really?
39
00:02:19,786 --> 00:02:20,591
It is true.
40
00:02:21,184 --> 00:02:23,119
One sixteenth, to be exact.
41
00:02:23,993 --> 00:02:28,273
It's the same thing as when your grandmother puts
a bit of herself in her biscuits.
42
00:02:29,548 --> 00:02:32,831
You know, from what I consider
his best album,
43
00:02:32,841 --> 00:02:35,531
Diana Ross even has them
given his name.
44
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,277
And which one was it?
45
00:02:37,773 --> 00:02:38,853
"Diana".
46
00:02:44,154 --> 00:02:48,421
You can feel it when they are completed
the eyes of the pumpkin-lantern.
47
00:02:49,506 --> 00:02:53,119
That thrill is because through
the eyes of those pumpkins
48
00:02:53,129 --> 00:02:55,082
you look inside yourself.
49
00:02:56,231 --> 00:02:58,506
This must be the reason
so I feel more at ease
50
00:02:58,516 --> 00:03:00,420
to carve the eyes
of the pumpkin last.
51
00:03:01,633 --> 00:03:03,845
Go show it to your grandmothers.
52
00:03:27,070 --> 00:03:28,527
Who are you dressed as there?
53
00:03:28,773 --> 00:03:29,879
John Voelker,
54
00:03:30,425 --> 00:03:34,455
Marquette County Prosecutor
and author of "Anatomy of a Murder."
55
00:03:34,735 --> 00:03:35,879
Certainly.
56
00:03:37,303 --> 00:03:39,514
- What movie are we, darling?
- "Matrix".
57
00:03:39,947 --> 00:03:41,256
Matrix.
58
00:03:41,892 --> 00:03:43,633
- Thank you.
- Please.
59
00:03:43,643 --> 00:03:45,286
- Thank you.
- Boo-see you.
60
00:03:45,616 --> 00:03:48,489
I think I carved
16+ pumpkins, Gene.
61
00:03:48,845 --> 00:03:51,172
This means that
I no longer have a soul?
62
00:03:53,650 --> 00:03:55,087
No, no, Joe.
63
00:03:55,226 --> 00:03:57,352
It is possible to regrow
your own soul.
64
00:03:58,748 --> 00:03:59,466
As?
65
00:03:59,930 --> 00:04:01,827
Taking the Carnival Cruise.
66
00:04:01,837 --> 00:04:02,892
Gene.
67
00:04:03,502 --> 00:04:06,653
Or, if you are a teenager,
you can watch a music video.
68
00:04:07,036 --> 00:04:09,114
And does going for a drive work?
69
00:04:09,235 --> 00:04:10,214
It will work.
70
00:04:13,233 --> 00:04:16,261
As wonderful as it is
breathe life into a pumpkin,
71
00:04:16,271 --> 00:04:17,945
then you also give him death.
72
00:04:18,559 --> 00:04:21,356
An uncarved pumpkin
it can last up to three months
73
00:04:21,673 --> 00:04:24,864
but a pumpkin-lantern
rots in 5-10 days.
74
00:04:27,356 --> 00:04:30,161
Imagine it from the point
of sight of my pumpkin.
75
00:04:30,864 --> 00:04:33,712
At this moment,
in the rearview mirror,
76
00:04:34,334 --> 00:04:37,207
is looking into the
eyes of its creator,
77
00:04:37,894 --> 00:04:40,312
and I can't help it
feel like you're asking,
78
00:04:41,580 --> 00:04:42,686
"Why?"
79
00:04:44,224 --> 00:04:45,661
What should I tell him?
80
00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:47,796
Tradition?
81
00:04:48,190 --> 00:04:49,220
Decoration?
82
00:04:50,466 --> 00:04:52,824
It's not enough. I mean...
83
00:04:53,466 --> 00:04:57,673
if your creator told you that
the reason you exist is because
84
00:04:57,683 --> 00:05:01,512
Hewas a choir teacher at
taken up with a seasonal activity
85
00:05:01,817 --> 00:05:03,178
How would you feel?
86
00:05:06,737 --> 00:05:08,542
Personally, pretty good.
87
00:05:12,572 --> 00:05:16,512
Probably the biggest change
in my life for the last 10 years
88
00:05:16,522 --> 00:05:19,309
is that now I allow myself to
eat in the car.
89
00:05:19,932 --> 00:05:21,673
Sometimes it's necessary.
90
00:05:22,843 --> 00:05:24,691
Hey, Joe. Do you want to have lunch with me?
91
00:05:24,877 --> 00:05:26,618
Oh. Really, Jon?
92
00:05:26,822 --> 00:05:30,549
Yes, I want to tell you and others
teachers my love adventures.
93
00:05:30,559 --> 00:05:32,468
It was from this colossal MILF.
94
00:05:32,478 --> 00:05:33,445
Whooo!
95
00:05:35,555 --> 00:05:37,411
Johnny! Johnny!
96
00:05:37,421 --> 00:05:40,705
There's something about the teachers' lounge
that turns people into animals.
97
00:05:43,551 --> 00:05:47,415
Inside my Park Avenue,
things are much more civil.
98
00:05:47,834 --> 00:05:51,254
And if I feel like it, I can stop by
from the Queen of Cheeses.
99
00:05:52,385 --> 00:05:53,668
Excuse me, sir?
100
00:05:53,873 --> 00:05:57,113
It has a legitimate reason to be
in the school parking lot?
101
00:05:57,381 --> 00:06:01,614
I am Mr. Pera, the choir teacher,
and I'm eating my lunch.
102
00:06:01,624 --> 00:06:03,905
Oh. I'm the new one
band teacher.
103
00:06:03,915 --> 00:06:06,459
I thought you were one
kind of weirdo.
104
00:06:07,029 --> 00:06:09,216
No. I'm a normal guy.
105
00:06:09,226 --> 00:06:11,212
Okay. Now I'll leave you alone.
106
00:06:26,936 --> 00:06:28,833
{\an9}APPLES
107
00:06:28,843 --> 00:06:29,843
Perfect.
108
00:06:49,664 --> 00:06:51,863
Although beautiful and relaxing,
109
00:06:52,270 --> 00:06:54,779
my autumn stroll
has a dark goal.
110
00:06:56,159 --> 00:06:59,477
If I really gave it to this
pumpkin a piece of my soul,
111
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:04,243
It should be put to rest in the same
way in which I hope to be one day.
112
00:07:10,117 --> 00:07:14,020
There are about 300 waterfalls
in the Upper Peninsula.
113
00:07:15,189 --> 00:07:18,138
Some, let's face it, are just quick,
114
00:07:18,367 --> 00:07:21,812
but almost 200 of them are
old enough to have a name.
115
00:07:23,134 --> 00:07:25,956
In my life, I have visited 41.
116
00:07:26,363 --> 00:07:31,397
So, with about 259
waterfalls left to see,
117
00:07:31,714 --> 00:07:35,719
I will only have to visit 4.6 waterfalls per year
118
00:07:35,729 --> 00:07:40,142
if I want to see them all first
to die at the age of 85...
119
00:07:42,710 --> 00:07:44,863
probably from a poisoned kiss.
120
00:09:31,714 --> 00:09:34,258
This water doesn't look like it
the color of the beer?
121
00:09:34,498 --> 00:09:36,001
I almost wish it were.
122
00:09:36,011 --> 00:09:38,909
Unfortunately, it is only colored
from tannic acid
123
00:09:38,919 --> 00:09:41,299
Coming from the swamps
of cedar upstream.
124
00:09:56,922 --> 00:10:00,596
Not our autumn stroll
it would be complete without a warm apple.
125
00:10:01,511 --> 00:10:02,925
What is a hot apple?
126
00:10:03,443 --> 00:10:06,405
Well, take a sliced fresh apple
127
00:10:06,415 --> 00:10:11,922
and wrap it in foil with butter,
cinnamon and brown sugar,
128
00:10:11,932 --> 00:10:15,825
and put it on the heat until
when it's hot... not hot.
129
00:10:16,460 --> 00:10:19,905
I can time it exactly
until it reaches 40 degrees
130
00:10:19,915 --> 00:10:24,113
singing a song I wrote
called "Hot Apple Night".
131
00:10:26,793 --> 00:10:27,735
What does it do...
132
00:10:30,074 --> 00:10:32,159
133
00:10:33,659 --> 00:10:35,769
134
00:10:38,083 --> 00:10:40,104
135
00:10:42,434 --> 00:10:44,481
136
00:11:04,398 --> 00:11:08,237
And in this way,
sento la mia anima ricrescere.
137
00:11:10,670 --> 00:11:13,663
