What is the premise of Midnight Burger and who are the main characters?
Hi guys, it's Daisy. I'm one of the creators of Mayfair Watcher Society, and today I want to tell you about a show I think you'll love: Midnight Burger. When Gloria took a waitressing job in a diner outside of Phoenix, she didn't realize she was now an employee of Midnight Burger, a time-traveling, dimension-spanning diner. Every day, Midnight Burger appears somewhere new in the cosmos, along with its staff. A galactic drifter, a rogue theoretical physicist, a sentient old timey radio, and some guy named Casper. No one knows who built Midnight Burger or how it works, but when it appears there's always someone around who could really use a cup of coffee. This show is perfect for fans of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Doctor Who, The Good Place, and Everything Everywhere All At Once.
You'll even recognize Mayfair actors Newt Shuttlecott, Nea DeRusso, and Karim Cromley. Find Midnight Burger at weopen at six dot com or wherever you get podcasts.
Um Hello? Hello?
Hello?
Hi. I'm here for the job interview.
The what?
Job interview? There was an ad said all applicants be here at six. I was assuming six PM. Was it AM? That would be weird.
An ad?
Yes. Am I This is midnight burger, right?
Yes.
Okay. You're kind of freaking me out right now.
What are you Have a seat at the booth. I'll be right with you.
Sure. What the fuck?
I'm Zebulon Mucklewain here with my wife, Effie, doing our best to bring the holy to the holler. Hi y'all! Effie, what was it you were saying to me this morning over coffee?
Well, darling, as it was with my mother and her mother, I can always sense when a change is coming. That is right. And as one might sense a storm coming up in their bad knee, one feels a pressure growing. All creation waits. But do not be afear. Oh no, no, no, no. Look to the Psalms, y'all. For God is my rock in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn, my salvation, my stronghold.
Where does this season of change find you all? Perhaps at a beauty salon, considering the expression of a new life through your follicles, perhaps at the clouded graveside of a loved one. Perhaps it finds you lamenting the loss of your talkeria at a lonely diner outside of Phoenix. What?
Hi there. Sorry to bother you. I'm Ava. That's my booth over there. Oh. Okay. You're a regular here? Uh-huh. Sure. Listen, I have an important question.
Okay.
Do you Have A cigarette.
Oh oh yeah, do you want a bum one?
Seriously? Oh my god. Oh my god, I'm going to start crying. Hang on. Are you
a Having a hard time quitting.
I am having a hard time starting. I don't know Yes, yes. Please can I bum a cigarette?
Yeah. Yeah, here, take my lighter.
Thank you.
Wherever this time of change may find you, here is the chuck wagon.
Okay, hi.
This place is interesting. What's the radio show? It's wild.
That's the Muckle Wayne's Hour of Power, sending out the gospel to the Greater Toadsuck region.
Where's Toadsuck?
Arkansas
Why is it playing here? Hm? Why is it on the radio in Arizona?
Right, right, because Arizona is where we are right now. Right now. Anyway, uh this is Midnight Burger. I'm Casper.
Uh yes.
That's Ava. She's always here.
Nicotine Get
And this is a Diner?
How does Gloria’s job interview at the strange diner unfold?
Are you sure?
Hey! We're in Arizona right
now.
Yeah.
Is she like a homeless person? A little nutty?
She's actually a physicist with multiple doctorates.
Sure.
So You Saw an ad Telling you to come here at six?
Well i it said all applicants, but it looks like it's just me. Can I ask did you make the ad? Because it seems to me that no one else works here, but you seem surprised that I showed up. Do you own this place? Um Okay, look. I don't have time for this. You obviously had no idea I was coming and you seem to have no idea what you're doing. I'm broke and miserable and for you to add your irresponsibly unprepared interview to that is the slap in the face I don't have time to go Wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait. I'm sorry. You're right. Uh I didn't know you were coming. Management never tells me these things? How about you? Tell me about yourself.
Okay. My name's Gloria. I've been in the food service my whole life. I had a taqueria for a while, but the pandemic shut it down.
