Your Own DCOM

"Your Own DCOM" is song featured in *Hang On, Collider*. Separated from the narrative musical, it is sung as ending segment. Zach, Jess, and Taylor make up their own Disney Channel Original Movie.

## Lyrics

**Zach**

Small boy and a small girl

**Jess**

They're at a moment where they're coming of age

**Taylor**

New land, strange world

They fell into a fantasy page

It's your new favorite DCOM

The song where you can belong

Inside the work of an eccentric author who needs to be reached

And he's been writing alone in a cabin on a lonely beach

Until those those two tweens found him and they said

"Can we read your book?"

**Zach**

"Can we read it?"

**Jess**

Let us into your head

**Jess and Zach**

"Can we read your books?"

**Jess**

Choose life and love instead

And the old man was reticent at first

**Jess**

That's right

**Zach**

Bringing children into his small oasis

Ugh! Children are the worst!

**Taylor**

And no one's ever read this man's books before

**Zach**

Self-published

**Taylor**

Maybe it's time to share them, open up that door

Let the kids read the books

**Jess**

But then those two kids, they literally fall into his book

**Zach**

The kids fall in the book

**Jess**

And they step back and they have to take a look

And now they have to find the villain, that he created on the page

It's mutated version of himself, it's an ogre, an outcropping of his rage

And once they fight the ogre

**Zach**

Fight!

**Jess**

Once they fight the ogre

I said, once they fight the ogre

**Zach**

And the battle's over

They escape the book

And they see the old man

And he realizes he has ogrey hands

But ogre hands don't have to kill, they don't have to fight

In fact, these old man ogre hands were meant to write

**Jess**

And we'd be remiss

We didn't mention that in the end

At a sunset, the two teens kiss

**Jess**

And there's a mermaid

It's a boy and he's thirsty all the time

**Taylor**

Delicious

**Jess**

And without a doubt, the man lives in a smart house

**Zach**

And also there's a boy, who can't surf anymore

He has to snowboard every day

**Taylor**

And remember that the place that they're in

It's Halloween every day

**Jess**

Come and see where you belong

Find your own DCOM

**All**

Come and see where you belong

Come and find your own DCOM

**Jess**

Wow. That was really macro. Which means "beautiful" in Xenon, Girl of the 21st Century.

We Could Never Do What You Do

"We Could Never Do What You Do" is a song featured in *Hang On, Collider*. Carol and the janitors have an exchange where they praise one another on their jobs.

## Lyrics

**Carol**

I could never do what you do

**Janitors who'd be ocean and chocolate clock scientists**

Nooo!

**Carol**

I can never even if I tried

I could never do what you do

You have skills that I can't supply

**All janitors**

We could never do what you do

**Janitor who'd be a chocolate clock scientist**

We could never do what you do

**Janitor who'd be an ocean scientist (spoken)**

*Never!*

**Janitor who'd be a chocolate clock scientist**

Specifically you have a doctorate or two

That would prevent us from doing what you do

**Carol**

Oh, yes, maybe at this moment

We can't just switch our place

But I'm sure with the same type of schooling

An entrance, you could do without a trace

**Janitor who'd be an ocean scientist**

Okay, fine! We'll switch

**Janitor who'd be a chocolate clock scientist (spoken)**

*Fine!*

**Carol (spoken)**

*Wait!*

**Janitor who'd be a chocolate clock scientist**

Yes we all agree

**Janitor who'd be an ocean scientist**

You do our jobs, and we do your jobs

**Janitor who'd be a chocolate clock scientist**

We do science, you stay out here and clean

**Carol (spoken)**

*Okay, I'm sorry-*

**All janitors**

We could do what you do

**Carol**

You can't do what I do

**All janitors**

We could do what you do

**Janitor who'd be a chocolate clock scientist (spoken)**

*But you said we could!*

**Carol**

Yes, I was just stark to explain that

I think you could if you trained but

Right now you can't do what I do

But maybe with schooling you could

Yes, I think that's true

**Janitor who'd be a chocolate clock scientist**

It's so kind of you to volunteer to tutor us in science

**Janitor who'd be an ocean scientist**

We can't wait to learn the science

**Janitor who'd be a food scientist**

Oh, we can't wait to learn the science

**Janitor who'd be a chocolate clock scientist**

So we can do what you do

**Janitor who'd be a food scientist**

We can do what you do

**Janitor who'd be a chocolate clock scientist**

And we'll teach you how to clean!

**Janitor who'd be an ocean scientist**

You can clean!

## Is This An Interesting Story Or Just Something That Popped Into My Head?

The segment title says it all! Follow our hosts as they bravely talk through an anecdote that may or may not be good audio.

* At Jess' college (Northwestern mention, story improved!), plays were funded by fundraising parties with a $5 entrance fee. In her senior year, the school administration cracked down on the parties, and despite Jess not being in charge of the running play or in attendance of the parties, she was the president of the group and had to go to disciplinary hearings with staff. The ruling was that students were not allowed to sell alcohol, despite the fee being for entrance and not the drinks. However, at the party, someone was walking around and pouring a topper of Everclear in people's cups.

**Jess' Verdict:** Not a great story.

**Zach's Verdict:** Maybe not a top-tier story, but an excellent transition into more topics to talk about.

* Zach bought native plants from an all-native plant nursery. They don't require to be treated with soil because they are native to California. The thing is, they all kind of look like weeds.

## Trivia

* This episode was recorded on November 9th, 2021.
* The last two songs feature a rare Scott singing on the mic!
