Speaker 1: a month long train ride and tries not to embarrass

3
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: himself in front of a Christian music legend. Meanwhile, I

4
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: get a flat tire in the weirdest way possible and

5
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 1: reveal the strange history of super glue, plus a conversation

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: about humility and how we're being shaped by the difficulties

7
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: in our lives. Today's episode is not sponsored by Best

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,000

15
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: right or you are a train. That's the best place

16
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: to be. Really, the little engine that could do you.

17
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 2: Ever, Besides airports, you don't really get to do train travel.

18
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: I did that thing with Curry's dad. We did that

19
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: bucket list trip to the Grand Canyon and it was

20
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: by train, those from Williams, Arizona. I would recommend it.

21
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: I would recommend that trip for your family. John, I

22
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: feel like that you live the life. No, you wouldn't.

23
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: You wouldn't do that trip. I think you'd be like,

24
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: what are there? What is there for the whole family

25
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 1: to do? You that that is the trip I want

26
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 1: to take? Is it? Yeah?

27
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 2: You want to do Williams, I want to I want

28
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 2: to ride a train from like Seattle all the way

29
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: down the coast. No, I want to live on a

30
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: train for like a month ish.

31
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: I don't. I think that you've romanticized this to the

32
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: point where there's no way it could possibly help. You

33
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: would be you would be so stir crazy living on

34
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: a train, living on a train, I don't know. Maybe not.

35
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: I could live on a cruise ship for a month,

36
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: and one day you will, Bunny, I have a feeling

37
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: that's going to happen. I think you and Lord, that's

38
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: how you guys will retire. I mean, it's the same

39
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: sale the world. The same price basically is paying for

40
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: all your stuff here. Yeah, except for if you have

41
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: a medical emergency. You're kind of just Yeah, they got doctors,

42
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: They'll turn that boat around. It's no big deal. It's

43
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: easy to divert these cruise ships. Yeah, there's nothing they

44
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: love it too. They love it when you divert them.

45
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: You know, there are people on the I mean it's

46
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: a it is a whole thing. Yeah, no, I know,

47
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: and they have like there are people who do that

48
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: instead of going to the retirement homes, they just go.

49
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: But their cruise the world. The staff they like basically

50
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: you become a resident. You have all these deep connections

51
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: and they know where you are and what you're doing.

52
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: Again, I think you might be romanticising they have all

53
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: these deep connections. John's like, that's what I read. I

54
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: read in the data that there's deep connections and cruise

55
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: ship that I'm paying for. Yeah, I'm sure.

56
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: Struggle for a community a little bit.

57
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: Yeah that's okay. Well you got me, buddy.

58
00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: Hey, that's not a struggle. Well, getting you in town to.

59
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: Struggle, I'm sorry. Sometimes it's tough to divert this ship too,

60
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: am I Right, we just got back. We were in

61
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: I had five days in a row, five cities and

62
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: five days, and then I got home and then I

63
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: went to a Lakers game last night. Yeah, I couldn't

64
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 1: believe you drove to Indianapolis. Well yeah, I mean it's

65
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: it's not worth flying. It's four and a half hours,

66
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: five hours. I just drove it last weekend, but I

67
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: mean the time you go to the airport an hour earlier,

68
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: two hours early. Now because of TSA and all that nonsense,

69
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: you may as well just drive it. It's worth it, dude,

70
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: bad drive. It's not awful. It's not awful.

71
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: Kentucky's like three lanes well paved as soon as you

72
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: get over the Tennessee line.

73
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,360

84
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: we were talking about Lebron and he was like, I said,

85

Speaker 1: this maybe Lebron's last year. We don't know. Yeah, and

86

87
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: would be cool, and so we just started looking up

00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: game and we found this game and he's like, let's go.

89
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: So we went together and I say all that to

90
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: say this, everything's great, smooth. We stayed in the hotel

91
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: and hotel last night and then this morning we got

92
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: up to leave and he met me out front. We

93
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: get in, we had to start heading home, and you know,

94
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: it's a long drive home. I said, can we go

95
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: home earlier? Then? You might want to because I want

96
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: to do this podcast today because we've put off our

97
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: normal day would have been yesterday the game. We go sure, sure, sure,

98
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: And so now we're on the way home and we're

99
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: about an hour from home. We're about near the Portland

100
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: exit Portland, Tennessee, and he is looking at a picture

101
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 1: on his phone. No, I was driving and he's just

102
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 1: scrolling his phone on Facebook and he goes, dude, I

103
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: went to school with this guy and I hadn't seen

104
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: him in years. And he's evidently married to this woman

105
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: and they have a family. But he goes, look how

106
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: tall she is? And I thought it was just going

107
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: to be like he's a little taller, she's a little

108
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: taller than him. He show me the photo. I look over.

109
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: This woman is a foot and a half taller than

110
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: her husband and they're doing like a nice I think

111
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: it was a beach photo, but it was one of

112
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: those like is he standing in the sand? Like is

113
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: he buried? Like it was wild and I go, Holy moly.

114
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: And then I look up and I have Now I'm

115
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: off the road, oh and past the rumble strip. And

116
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: I go to hear the rumble strip. What it happened.

117
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 1: I go to pull the car. I think that's what

118
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: made me look and then I go to pull the

119
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: car back over and on the other side of the

120
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: rumble strip is a piece of like you know, I

121
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: sixty five, it's not great. There's a piece of chewed

122
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: up like a huge pothole on the other side of

123
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: the rumble strip. I go into the pothole and then

124
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:56,799
Speaker 1: I'm going seventy eighty. Wow. Right away the tire censor

125
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: came on. I had a flat. This happened. This is

126
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: why I was late for lunch. Were you in the

127
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: I was in the Hyundai Ionic, my hybrid. Okay, so

128
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: it's a dumb little hatchback is I have a spare tire.

129
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: It did, and only because I bought one like a

130
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: year ago, because yeah, we have one.

131
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 2: Come with this wait flat tire the day and the

132
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: first time is like, oh, there's no spare tire.

133
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. So luckily I had a little donut and it

134
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: was three hundred bucks to buy that donut. You can't

135
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: just get a donut no more. And so we had

136
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: to stop and change the tire, and it made us

137
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes later than we would have been. But I

138
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: mean we changed it more. All the story, kids, don't

139
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: look at your phone while you're driving. If somebody says, hey,

140
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: look at this, don't look over there. No, don't do it,

141
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: even if it's a gigantic woman whose head was blocking

142
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: the sun or whatever. But because of her height, but no,

143
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 1: she was a she was a very pretty woman. She

144
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: was just maybe it was just that he was short,

145
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: but it was a stark contrast.

146
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sadie always is like, I have to the boy

147
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 2: has to be taller, because you know, she's fairly tall.

148
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: So she's she's never going to marry a short can.

149
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 1: I don't know.

150
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: I'm like, what if he's is a great guy. Yeah,

151
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 2: like you know, it's a what if he has stature

152
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 2: of heart? It's really unfair, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,

153
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 2: I know that there's a lot of beauty standards women

154
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: have to look to. And we talked about that last episode,

155

157
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 2: five minutes earlier. I stand by whatever twisted version of

158
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 2: what I said.

159
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: You just said, But I do think women are held

160
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: to like such like an unfair standard. But at that

161
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: same time, this is the one in culture where it's like,

162
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: literally I think a guy can't control and he's just

163
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: like there's so many percentage of women. They're just like, nope,

Speaker 2: Now that's he is not taking responsibility.

192
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: He offered to pay for the tire, but I said

193
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: I couldn't see damage on the tire. That was the

194
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: crazy part. Like we got there and the tire was flat,

195
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: but I could not see a hole. I couldn't see

196
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: a sidewalter.

197
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 2: Want that Sometimes some of y'all you're feeling flat and

198
00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 2: you can't see where the damage is.

199
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: But it's you know what I'm saying, you're out of air.

200
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: Some of y'all got a hole in your sidewall. I

201
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: was about to say, sidewalk you always we all need

202
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: to check your valve.

203
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,559

204
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,320

207
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: you mean? I did? And I left her that car

208
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: and took the the other car when I got because

209
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: I had to leave right from there and come and

210
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: I didn't even tell her. So she's going to find

211
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: out for the first time when she listens to the

212
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: podcast that I have damaged our car because I was

213
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: looking at a tall woman. It's a weird story, but

214
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: it happened. When you put it all together like that,

215
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: I know, but it's okay because the Lakers got the win.

216
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 1: Lebron had a great game. You got to see Lebron's

217
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: that's a bugge because you never know, you go these

218
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: older players, they do the load management, they might not play.

219
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: So I was like, if we get here and it's

220
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: one of those like, well, we're going to beat the

221
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: Pacers without these guys, let's just rest them because the

222
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: Pacers are trying to tank. And I was like, I'll

223
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: be so mad. But they him and Luca. But Luca

224
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: had forty three. It was a great game. And I

225
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: got to see Jordan one time. Oh yeah, was it

226
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,880

231
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you stood up there, and so yeah, watched

232
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: the jump boat.

233
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 2: He had been hurt but came in the game. It

234
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 2: was one of the first game he'd come back in

235
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 2: for a while.

236
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, because that was the one he came back mid season.

237
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: It was forty five because by the next year he

238

337
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I'm trying to split the line, right, I

338
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 2: don't make him feel weird.

339
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. My buddy Rick Roberts said that, he goes, my

340
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: main regret in my comedy career is I did clubs

341
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: for nineteen years or whatever. And he said I didn't

342
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: get a photo with everybody I ever worked with because

343
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: I was always afraid of whatever. And he goes, and

344
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: now like some of those guys have gone on to

345
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: be whatever, and I just w wish I had not

346
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: tried to be the cool kid.

347
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 2: So you're saying, if Stephen kursch Chapman takes a fun

348
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 2: with me, then someday he can say, yeah, that guy

349
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 2: went on to.

350
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: Well, there really was somebody that said something like that.

351
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: I think it might have been Jordan Peel, can't remember. No,

352
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: it might have been uh who's the guy that was? Uh,

353
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: Donald Glover. He said, nobody's ever on their deathbed saying

354
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: thank god I wasn't cringe. Thank god I was never cringe.

355
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: Like this idea, our main fear in life is being cringey. Oh,

356
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: it's like you never accomplish anything with that attitude. No,

357
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: you gotta be be excited about sinking. That's really the

358
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: definition of cool. If we're honest, that guy's a cool customer.

359
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: We mean he's unaffected by life. Who wants to be

360
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: around that person? No? Not? I guess he's just it's like, no, dude,

361
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: you know what, You're right, it's so excited. Not. It's

362
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: easier to tame an excited person than to try to

363
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: raise the dead of somebody that's just like God, there's

364
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: no way to even like affect this person.

365
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 2: You get ready for this backstage meeting.

366
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: I'm kind of said all that, I need you to

367
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: be cool. I need you to not ruin. Yeah, no,

368
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: it'll be fine.

369
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 2: Well, you know that the there's a there's a backstory, okay,

370
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 2: Stephen Curtis. I wanted to figure out if I ever

371
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 2: tell this to him or not?

372
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: Oh right, because you were supposed to just write a book.

373
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 2: So he was looking for a writer for his book

374
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 2: and the collaborator. It's his book, he's writing it, but

375
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 2: you help him and what I do with my dumb career.

376
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 2: And I got the call. I was with our friend

377
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 2: Weston and I was at Cracker Barrel as we used

378
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 2: to go shout out to day and for saying cracker barrel,

379
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 2: cracker barrel, cracker barrel. And I got this call from

380
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 2: an agent, which looks when you say that, it sounds

381
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 2: really pretentious, but I do if I you know, it's

382
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 2: hard to get a hold.

383
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: You got it.

384
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 2: And he was like, hey, listen, they're looking at writers

385
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 2: and they're kind of making that last minute sort of

386
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 2: change and shift, and I know.

387
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: You know, would you be interested?

388
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 2: I was like, would I be? Not only would I

389
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 2: but yet yes, yes I will. And so I was like,

390
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 2: he's like, you got to send me an updated bio.

391
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 2: So well, I'm in a I'm in a restaurant, give me,

392
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 2: give me a couple of hours here, because I hadn't

393
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 2: had nothing to update your bio. Yeah, there were books

394
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 2: ad and added to my bio stuff and you got

395
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 2: a wax poetic to get this Stephen Curtis job. No,

396
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 2: I think it was just adding more projects. This had

397
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 2: been I'd written a few books. Sinside, How do I

398
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 2: impress Stephen Curtis. I think it took three hours for me,

399
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 2: and by the time I sent it, he already had

400
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 2: a writer.

401
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: Oh no, but do you think that that's what did

402
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: it or you think they were.

403
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 2: He never even knew I was.

404
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: He never even knew I was the guy.

405
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 2: He never knew I was a possibility because I never

406
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 2: I didn't have it ready to send.

407
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: And guys, isn't that I wish we'd all been ready?

408
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 2: You know.

409
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 1: I think it's that's not Stephen Carson. That's a Laron Norman.

410
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: But I wish I know, But I think it's not.

411
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: It's supposed it happened though he's supposed to happen. Oh,

412
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: here we go.

413
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 2: You're supposed to people, Huh, here we go.

414
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: Listen. What do you mean to say? You blew it

415
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: with your dumb bio? I thought more than three You

416
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:22,479
Speaker 1: think you had three hours?

417
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 2: I think I really pour there's.

418
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: An opportunity of a lifetime. You want to take three

419
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,959
Speaker 1: hours to mull it over and try to come up

420
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: with flowery words about yourself? I wasn't you know what?

421
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: You didn't deserve the book that he went with.

422
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 2: I think Ken Abraham did it. That's a he's a

423
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 2: pretty accomplished writer, way more accomplished than I. And I

424
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 2: think they were already friends.

425
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: They needed a sure thing. You knew Ken and he

426
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: you were out texted, you've probably got the clout now

427
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: where you probably get in that room a little easier.

428
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 2: But I think I'm going to let him have it, like, hey,

429
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 2: you blew, you messed out, and I think we all

430
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 2: know you bull Ken Abraham swims in my wake or

431
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 2: something like that like.

432
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: That, and he's right behind it.

433
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 2: Ken just has got a single tear. I'm not gonna

434
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 2: do any of that. I'll play cool well, I mean neverny.

435
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 2: Maybe he's gonna write a second book, third book, whatever,

436
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 2: and then he's gonna be like, you know what, don't

437
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 2: want to go a different direction.

438
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: I want to go about that guy made at the

439
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: Opry that was weird and sweated a lot at like

440
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: he was. Oh man, I love by the way.

441
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 2: He is touring with the speeches with twenty five years

442
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 2: twenty five years of speeches.

443
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, very exciting.

444
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 2: Which is a song about not being able to say words.

445
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 2: But I'll deal I'll deal with that with him too,

446
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 2: Thank you man, if you're speechless song at all?

447
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 1: Really, you think he'll do a couple of songs from that.

448
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: I think he's at the Opry or he's a member. Well,

449
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: I no, yeah, I don't know what he'll do sometimes.

450
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 2: I think he brings like his brother and maybe his

451
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 2: his stepdad out did They did some some cracker barrel bluegrass.

452
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: Because he kind of mixes John, he probably makes it

453
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: a little more twangy.

454
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 2: He's pop, right, but he puts out to do all

455
00:19:58,359 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 2: kind of thing. He'll be a little more twangy.

456
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: Sure, well I will be too. I'm bringing the twiny

457
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 1: that night. It's so excited just to I mean, that's

458
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: gonna be a fun one. Yeah. And I'm a little

459
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: more comfortable there now, and so it's a little and

460
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: this is when I'll blow it because I've gotten too comfortable. Yeah, yeah,

461
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: I need to. I can have your healthy reverence for

462
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: the place. But but no, it's just a cool what

463
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: a what a wild world did we get there?

464
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 2: But I like to say, you're a great friend that

465
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 2: you thought of me being more excited than you and

466
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 2: your opportunity.

467
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, you call me first and I appreciate that. And

468
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: it's a shame you're not gonna be able to be there.

469
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: It's a shame that you have sold outse and no,

470
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 1: they there's some tickets available. John is coming for free

471
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 1: because he's my friend. But you can get tickets at

472
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: johnnyw dot com. If you'd like to come to the

473
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: Opry in Nashville, if you ever wanted to make a

474
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: trip to the Opry. A lot of people make that

475
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: little pilgrimage and it's like a big thing. It's a

476
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 1: bucket list thing for them. This would be the time

477
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: to do it. Yeah, me and Stephen Curtis on the

478
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: same stage, standing in that circle. But you guys got

479
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 1: like a week to figure that out. You got a

480
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: week for next next Wednesday. Yeah, it's April first, anyway,

481
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: and if not, it'll probably never happen again. Those planets

482
00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: will never align again.

483
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 2: It's fun, but there's nothing.

484
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 1: John will make it so weird.

485
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 2: But is that Johnny guy?

486
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, never again. Don't ever put him on the same

487
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: stage as me.

488
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 2: This is gonna be great. Yeah, it's gonna be great. Hey, John,

489
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 2: I think it's about that time. It's my segment and

490
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 2: something that we call. They talked about that I'm going

491
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 2: Clive Stables because why not? He is the staple of

492
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 2: the show is I may have said this before too,

493
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 2: but I don't even care.

494
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: No, I don't care.

495
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 2: I mean it's still true. So, uh, it's humility after

496
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 2: the first shock is a cheerful a cheerful virtue. It

497
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 2: is the high minded unbeliever desperately trying, in the teeth

498
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 2: of repeated disillusions to retain his quote faith in human nature.

499
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 2: Who is really sad, high minded unbeliever desperately trying in

500
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 2: the teeth of repeated disl usions to retain his faith

501
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 2: in human nature.

502
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: That that's what's said.

503
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 2: But humility, and he's talking in a faith context, obviously,

504
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 2: it is actually something cheerful. I don't know if I've

505
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 2: ever been more humbled than I have in the last

506
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 2: i'd say eight years. In two thousand and seventeen, my

507
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 2: dad died in May, and then after that our church

508
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 2: got sued by our denomination as they were. There was

509
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 2: a dispute, and I don't say those things lightly, but

510
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 2: it ended up going our way, and it was not

511
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: It was not a good thing. And there's been forgiveness

512
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 2: and all those things, but it's a public record thing.

513
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 2: But dude, for a year of my life, I mean,

514
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 2: it was just like I was writing briefs. We didn't

515
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: really have any money. We were just trying to survive

516
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 2: and save this, you know place. We even debated just

517
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 2: letting the place go. But we felt like that for

518
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 2: the people who had built it and other things and

519
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 2: the people we served, that was the right thing to do.

520
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 2: And I think post that there were a few years

521
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 2: that were, you know, not as hard twenty nineteen it

522
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 2: was like an enchanted year in some ways with him

523
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty hit for all of us, like a

524
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 2: ton of brigs and being a dad of a teenager.

525
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 2: It's just there's just been like humbling experiences over and

526
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 2: over and over again. And I tell the church sometimes

527
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 2: like humility sounds great, but when you're being humble, it

528
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 2: feels like humiliation.

529
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: It really is.

530
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 2: It's like it's just constant, Oh my gosh, this hurts.

531
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 2: And I think I get what he's saying that you

532
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 2: can't get to humility without it being a shock. But

533
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 2: there's something, there's something that dies that it's not like

534
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 2: you just had always hoped it would go away or whatever.

535
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 2: Like once it dies, it hurts, but also it's dead.

536
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 2: Like there's a lot of self confidence in other things

537
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 2: of the wrong persuasion that I think, yeah, has been slowly,

538
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 2: painfully mortified in my life, just put to death.

539
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: And.

540
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,239
Speaker 2: That I'd look at it and I think hearing these

541
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 2: things as a younger person, you're like, oh, I can't

542
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 2: wait to see how God forms me in my life,

543
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 2: and you know I'm gonna be. And if you look

544
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 2: at it as we approach Easter, like the path of

545
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 2: following Jesus always leads to a cross. It always leads

546
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 2: to death and then to resurrection. Right, But you don't

547
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,719
Speaker 2: just skip to resurrection without going through the cross. I

548
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 2: wish you could on the flesh side, right. I wish

549
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 2: you could just learn it by reading it. And there

550
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 2: are a lot of things maybe that you can. But man,

551
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 2: accepting that right takes humility, and it takes being willing

552
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 2: to not There been times me it's so I'm mad

553
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 2: at God or I don't understand I think I understand

554
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 2: God less, although I think I know God more, but

555
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 2: I think I understand him less. And the times I'm

556
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 2: like more willing to tell them how frustrated I am.

557
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 2: You know what, In times I just find myself there's

558
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 2: a prayer they're doing indelectial right now that it was

559
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,360
Speaker 2: found on like a second century cave in Egypt from

560
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 2: early believers, and it's just you know, Lord Jesus, son

561
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 2: of God, have mercy on me. Just written three times.

562
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 2: That's my main prayer.

563
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

564
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 2: Now it's just constantly like, oh man, I was thinking

565
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 2: about how I screwed things up in my life yesterday.

566
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 2: You know, this morning, I'm like, God, just have mercy

567
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 2: on me, you know. And it's it sucks, like it's hard,

568
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 2: it's not. You don't feel this great confidence, but you

569
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 2: also know you're probably praying the purest prayer from scriptures.

570
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: A lot of David's prayers and the psalms were just like, yeah,

571
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: just what in the war, Like, yeah, why why me?

572
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: Be with me? Why me?

573
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:05,239
Speaker 2: How long? Right?

574
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 1: How short? Questions?

575
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 2: Lord, have mercy.

576
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. There's a concept that I think about in comedy

577
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: a lot. It's not I think about it in relation

578
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: to comedy, but I don't think the context of it.

579
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: When somebody told me this was about comedy, but they said,

580
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: and I think about it all the time, and I've

581
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: told so many comics this. You're either humble or you're

582
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: on your way to being humbled. Yeah, And I mean

583
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: you're in one of those two spaces. Yeah, And so

584
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: the Bible talks about humble yourself. I know the humble

585
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: will be exalted the people who exalt themselves will be

586
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: a base. And so like you try to always like

587
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna humble myself when I go into a room

588
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: and not act like I'm the best thing since lies bread,

589
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: and so like, if you do that, remember where you

590
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: came from. A lot of that, but some of that's

591
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: just like life is humbling. Life is being sanded down. Yeah,

592
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: and you hope, you hope you're being shaped into something

593
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 1: that's useful. But it hurts to be sanded down sometimes

594
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: by life and by even by God. If you feel

595
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 1: like God's doing the sanding, it still hurts it to process.

596
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it does, And I think it causes you

597
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 2: to decide. To his point, when you're disillusioned, do you

598
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 2: try to keep coming back to this Pollyanne, Everything's going

599
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 2: to work out and the people are inherently good, or

600
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 2: do you accept how dark the world is? Accept it

601
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 2: not because you understand it or because you want it

602
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 2: to be that way, or that you're not trying to

603
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 2: bring light, but that you go, I'm not in control.

604
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 2: That's really what's about. When you begin to get to say,

605
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 2: and I still struggle with this so much, like I

606
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 2: feel responsible to positively affect outcomes. I think that God

607
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 2: put us here to do that. But man, the line

608
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 2: between effort and control.

609
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, like and not being able to control every outcome,

610
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 1: just having to be able to be like, I can

611
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,719
Speaker 1: control this thing, I can do this one good thing,

612
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: do the next right thing. You can just do the

613
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: next thing when we're being inundated with so much negative

614
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: and you see so much chaos in the world and

615
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: we know we can't affect all of it. But giving

616
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: us the courage to do the next right thing that

617
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: we can do, Yeah, that's the hard part. And some

618
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: people just don't do it. They go, well, I'll never

619
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 1: It's like having the big to do list and you're

620
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: so over one with a list, you just go take

621
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: a nap. That's how a lot of people live their lives.

622
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: They don't do the next right thing on the list.

623
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to be the person's doing the next

624
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 1: raight thing on list. But yeah, it's definitely it's hard.

625
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: Life is humbly.

626
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is no live tables. C. S.

627
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 1: Lewis, He's going places. That guy is gonna be somebody. John.

628
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: Let's do my single. Let's start with some old jokes.

629
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: We call it joke about that, John, I said to

630
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: my son, this is clearly a joke because I don't

631
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: have a son. I said to my son, I need

632
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: a battery so I can tell the time. He asked,

633
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: is it four o'clock? I said? I answered, I don't know.

634
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: That's why I need the battery, Tony, is it four?

635
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: Is it four o'clock? A red blood cell, John and

636
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: a white blood cell fell in love alas it was

637
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: all in vain. That one's closer to it. So yeah,

638
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: that's getting John. Finally, with help of her fertilities. That's hard.

639
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: With help of fertila is that's not like a tom

640
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: broke on it Fertility Shocking News Ada. With help of

641
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: a fertility specialist, John, a sixty five year old woman

642
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: has a baby. All of her relatives come to visit

643
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: meet the newest member of their family. When they asked

644
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: to see the baby, the new mom says, not yet,

645
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: a little later, they asked to see the baby again.

646
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: Once more, she says not yet. Finally, ask when the

647
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: heck can we see the baby? The mother says, when

648
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: the baby cries? Why do we have to wait till

649
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: the baby cries? Mom says, I forgot where I put it.

650
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: She's sixty five. John, memory loss. We've had a couple

651
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: of memory loss jokes in a row on the show.

652
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: What do you think the algorithms trying to say something?

653
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: I think we're headed to that age and we're gonna

654
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: maybe that's our is our fan base? Do you think

655
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: our fan base skews older? We don't really do we

656
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: have data on our podcast fans. We need more data.

657
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 2: Hey, all I know is that data I need. Doesn't

658
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 2: know if they're good people. They are good people, and

659
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 2: so are advertisers. John, let's know what I can do

660

682
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, but that's not the point. I mean, it's

683
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: not not the point. Yeah, the point, Like Sarah, we

684
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,920

694
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: way to spend your spring break than uh, hang it

695
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: out on a beach somewhere just listening to episodes and ah, yeah,

696
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: the the dulcet tones of whatever we got going on. John,

697
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: let's do my last segment of the day. Uh, it's

698
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: this week in history. We call it talk about then.

699
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, but John, this week eighteen twelve, the

700
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: term jerry mander is first used. I think it's pretty

701
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: apropos with modern politics as it were in the past

702
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: twenty thirty years. But I didn't know this. Do you

703
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: know where jerry mandering comes from? I did not. It's

704
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: the process of dividing let's give a full knowledge is

705
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: but I'm saying it's the process of dividing electoral districts

706
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: with the aim of aiding the party in power. Massachusetts

707
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: Governor Elbridge Eldridge Elbridge or a Elbridge of an Eldridge,

708
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: but his name is Elbridge, Elbridge Jerry. He was a

709
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: future US Vice president evidently, which I didn't know that.

710
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: You know we had a vice president Jerry. Evidently, Massachusetts

711
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: Governor Elbridge Jerry. He signed into new law electoral district

712
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,479
Speaker 1: boundaries that were designed to enhance the incumbent party's election results,

713
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: leading to some oddly shaped legislative districts. So the Boston

714
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: Gazette newspaper published an article, and I could show the

715
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: article photo and a political cartoon of showing the district,

716
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: and it looks like a little salamander with a tail

717
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: above the district. That's how oddly shaped it was. So

718
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: it's a Jerry salamander. It's a Jerry mander. Oh they

719
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: named it a jerrymander because it did it look like

720
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: a little lizard, because they're using just the outline. Wow,

721
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: you know, he's skating around these little like we know

722
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: we have the votes here, so we're going to call

723
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: that our district. Yeah, and it's basically cheating, but legalized cheating.

724
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 2: Right, it is legal as long as well they are

725
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 2: working right now, they're taking out parts of the Civil

726
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 2: Rights Act of nineteen sixty five and the Voting Rights

727
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 2: Act as well. But the idea used to be and

728
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 2: it still is, I think, as long as you don't

729
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 2: do it on a basis of race or discrimination. So

730
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 2: so technically the legislators do have the right to draw

731
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 2: their voting districts, but then they have to prove it

732
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 2: to not be racially motivated, and that also could depend yeah,

733
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 2: a lot of things, but so yeah, it's yeah, the

734
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 2: thing about Jerry that happening now. That's so interested to me. Sorry,

735
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 2: I know you're in your history. Thing is that other

736
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 2: states are are doing it in retaliation, right, So Texas

737
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 2: redrew a bunch of things to make sure the Republicans

738
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 2: and California's like, fine, we'll redraw to make sure the

739
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,879
Speaker 2: Democrats win. It's like it's so far balanced itself out

740
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 2: by it quite frankly, because it is the legislator's job

741
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 2: to draw it.

742
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 1: But it should it should be being like, we're so

743
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: sure that we have the best policies that will win

744
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: if we just have a fair vote. It's like, how

745
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 1: do we stage this to where we can't lose. It's like,

746
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 1: I just don't I don't love that energy. Yeah, I

747
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: don't love it, and I don't know all of the Again,

748
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: I don't know everything there's to know about it. I'm

749
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: not saying that both sides don't don't have ne'er do

750
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: wells out there. That's definitely true. There are a lot

751
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: of people that you are willing to lie. I just

752
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: get an advantage in an edge, you know, the not

753
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: not being disenfranchised.

754
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 2: It's one of the basic rights of being a citizen

755
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 2: of this country, is what makes us not not losing

756
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 2: your rights for your voice to be heard in the

757
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 2: voting process. Yes, this really bothers me, and I wish

758
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 2: sometimes without them becoming active as courts. The courts are

759
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 2: not supposed to be. They're not They're supposed to wait

760
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 2: for the issue to come to them and to handle

761
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 2: it right blindly. It's not it's supposed to be an

762
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 2: issue with the losses, so they find ways around it.

763
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 2: But you do wish that the courts would interpret in

764
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 2: a way that this would not be or that the

765
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,240
Speaker 2: Congress wouldass something to say that they can't jerry mander anymore,

766
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,399
Speaker 2: that there has to be a more equitable way of

767
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 2: making sure everyone's voice is heard.

768
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: You know what needs to happen is you need to run, guys.

769
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: John is ready to announce his candidacy for school board presidents.

770
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,240
Speaker 2: See the problem is is I would want to jump

771
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 2: into something. Yeah, and I'm not qualified because I don't

772
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 2: want to be in the school board first.

773
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well never mind, Oh maybe I will. We'll see. Okay, Well,

774
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: well he didn't say no, guys, I didn't say no.

775
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: Send those cards and letters? Do you guys talk about that? Podcast? John?

776
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: This week? Eighteen seventy two, the fire extinguisher was invented,

777
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: the first practical I want to see what the first

778
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 1: impact extinguisher was like, such a big hose. Yeah, a

779
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 1: dude with a hog a balloon with water in it

780
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 1: as well. He's like, well, we're out. The first practical

781
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: fire extinguisher is patented by African American inventor Thomas J. Martin.

782
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 1: It provided a way to quickly attach a pump to

783
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,760
Speaker 1: a body of water for the purposes of extinguishing fires,

784
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: washing buildings, and sprinkling streets. So he really made he

785
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 1: just made a pump. I guess of sorts. It was

786
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: a way to attach a pump, it says, to a

787
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: body of water. So you had to be near a

788
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 1: body of water. What uses eighteen seventy two?

789
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,399
Speaker 2: They hadn't pumped water out of a body of water.

790
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: He was a way to attach a pump. I don't

791
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: know what he was doing. Was he was I don't

792
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 1: have the draw in Johnny any more from Thomas J. Martin.

793
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: Oh that's great, it's pretty cool. John Harry Coover was born.

794
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 1: Oh wait, Harry Coover died. I'm sorry, this is a

795
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 1: died that he died this week in twenty eleven. Born

796
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: nineteen seventeen. So quite a long line. Yeah, ninety plus

797
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: years Harry Coover invented superglue. Huh he was an American

798
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: chemist inventor of superglue. Okay, I'm gonna get this wrong.

799
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: Here's a cyan. Cyanac relate was discovered in nineteen forty

800
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: two while searching for materials to make spe glasses and

801
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: cockpit covers for military planes. It was too sticky for

802
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: this purpose and was set aside. In nineteen fifty one,

803
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: Coouver and his team at Eastman Kodak Interesting began investigating

804
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 1: cyanac relates again for jet canopies, and once again it

805
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: proved too sticky. When a chemist in the group accidentally

806
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: ruined an expensive refractometer by gluing it together, Cooper realized

807
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 1: he had discovered a unique adhesive. In nineteen fifty eight,

808
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,439
Speaker 1: the adhesive was marketed by Kodak as Eastman nine ten,

809
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: which is and later as superglue. Eastman nine ten just

810
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: feels like it's going to cost cancer Eastman nine ten

811
00:37:58,520 --> 00:37:59,439
Speaker 1: in your house, look out.

812
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 2: They were hoping it caught on like Kleenex or something. Yeah,

813
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 2: they did not, but yeah, Harry coop Man, that's quite

814
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 2: a legacy.

815
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: And it's interesting, like a lot of these inventions that

816
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 1: we cover on the show, they start out as a

817
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: whole other thing, or they get set aside, well, this

818
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: was a failure, and then you go, no, you didn't

819
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 1: fail at making a sticky whatever. You the stickiness is

820
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: what's going to make you your money.

821
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it took him eight years. Yeah, like after

822
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 2: it was just sitting there.

823
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: It took him eight year nineteen fifty one or nineteen

824
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: fifty eight, Yes, so seven years it was set aside.

825
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 2: Like you knew how sticky it was. You kept setting

826
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 2: a sign was too sticky. No one thought what if

827
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 2: we missed. Well in nineteen forty two was when it

828
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 2: was originally right. Yeah, so set aside, so that it's

829
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 2: like sixteen years. Wow, guys, if you have something right now.

830
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: That's really sticky, and you've set it aside, and you

831
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: may have sixteen years from now, sixteen years from you

832
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: may really have something. Also, do your dishes, you know,

833
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 1: come on, man, don't be one of those people. It's

834
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 1: like I let them soak. Come on, man, my wife

835
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 1: made a ragou uh. Yeah, we had to let that pot.

836
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: So what do you mean she made a ragou? She

837
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: made a I think of ragou is like a sauce.

838
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 2: So you're thinking of ragu, the spaghetti sauce right right, Like, No,

839
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 2: this ragu is totally different.

840
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: It's a pasta. It goes over pasta. She made a sauce.

841
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 2: It's no, it's almost like piles of meat tomatoes. Like

842
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 2: it's a true ragou, Dude, It's one of the best

843
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 2: things I've ever had in my life.

844
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: True ragou, true ragou. That's any of our sauce.

845
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 2: Okay, I like sixteen years from now, it's that stuff

846
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 2: she made, superl she makes. She doesn't make it often

847
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 2: than when she does every time she goes. Last time

848
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 2: I made this, you said, why do would I have

849
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 2: this more often? It's so good and.

850
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: Maybe it's really hard to make. I forget about it.

851
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: I want to put herself through for you. It was

852
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: easy in the kitchen all day.

853
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 2: I do the dishes man, which is back to the

854
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 2: pots to you let him a lot of rag So

855
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 2: rag This is what my grandma always said.

856
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 1: That's the song Stephen Curtis is going to do on

857
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: the Oprey, Gotta let a raggoopot soak. It's very in

858
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: love it. He plays a dough bro John. This week,

859
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: eighteen fourteen, Joseph Ignace Guillatin died. You want to take

860
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 1: a guess what He was the inventor of French physician. Yeah,

861
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: inventor of the guillotine. His campaign for the use of

862
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: a machine to provide humane executions led to the invention

863
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: of the thing because because they were a lot of

864
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: like torturous methods of there are a lot of executions happening.

865
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 1: It's French revolution, I guess, right. So it's just like

866
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 1: a lot of people just being like off with his head,

867
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 1: but they would you know right now, it's like we

868
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: got to figure out a humane way to kill all

869
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: these revolutionaries, and so this physicians like I got away,

870
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: We'll drop his blade on their head and the guy's like,

871
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: you're a hero? Are you a hero? I know, I'm

872
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: a doctor. Yeah, And then the guy's like, I'll make

873
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: a basket to catch the head in another hero anyway.

874
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:57,320
Speaker 1: He the first execution by guillotine was performed in seventeen

875
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: ninety two, so he was born in seventeen thirty eight,

876
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: so yeah, it was seventeen thirty seventy nine, So he was, Yeah,

877
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 1: I wonder when he didn't say when he invented it.

878
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 1: But interesting, what a weird thing to be Like, I'm

879
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: a physician, I'm passionate about humane execution.

880
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:16,240
Speaker 2: Right, No, I want to name this after myself.

881
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's how it happened or if he

882
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 1: it just became that.

883
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 2: Even then they'd be like, guys, maybe we shouldn't. Can

884
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 2: we call Although guillotine's better than whatever he had, chop

885
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 2: a matic you're trying to come up with it?

886
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 1: Just he was. That was the original slap chop. Remember

887
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 1: the slap chop, the thing that you were on TV

888
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: and it making veggies. Yes, it was the original slap chop,

889
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: the slap shop, but not great. It's licens it. Diess

890
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 1: John born this week nineteen forty eight British. British entrepreneur

891
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: Jimmy Hezeldon h In twenty ten he bought the Segue

892
00:41:56,160 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: Company Segway Inc. Maker of the Segway Personal transport system.

893
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: And he makes the list because he died later that

894
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: year after backing off a cliff while riding an off

895
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: road version of the Segue. So it's one of those

896
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,840
Speaker 1: ironic now he wasn't the inventor of the segway like

897
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: many people say, like this is kind of one of

898
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 1: those things in Lord, like the inventor of the segway

899
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,760
Speaker 1: died by segue. He was a guy that bought the company.

900
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: And then a year later he was tooling around on

901
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 1: a segway on his property in England and he backed

902
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: off a cliff and to his demise. Kind of a bummer. Finally, John,

903
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: this week nineteen seventy nine, Three Mile Island, you know

904
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: about three What do you know about three Mile Island?

905
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,760
Speaker 2: Just a horrible nuclear accident.

906
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: Nuclear Reactor number two at three Mile Island this week

907
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine generating station has a partial meltdown. This

908
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: resulted in the release of radioactive gases in radioactive I

909
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: had done into the environment. The accident was due to

910
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 1: a largely do largely to operator error, inadequate training, and

911
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: design flaws. This is why it makes the list because

912
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: life kind of imitated art. The movie The China Syndrome

913
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 1: had premiered just twelve days earlier, and it told the

914
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: fictional story of TV reporters who uncovered major safety violations

915
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 1: and filmed a nuclear accident at a power plant. The

916
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: nuclear power industry derided the film, claiming it was absurd

917
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 1: and nothing like that could ever happen, So they said

918
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 1: it was this alarmist and then twelve days later yeah. Yeah,

919
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 1: but US President Jimmy Carter, who had specialized in nuclear

920
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: power while serving in the United States Navy, toured the
