00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: college station. Okay, so that makes a lot more sense

17
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: when I got does Brian Texas?

18
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 2: Are you saying Brian Brian? Okay? Because Kurt hates the

Speaker 2: lot of bananamals. Kurt.

21
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: Now, actually I think it's Brian Texas. I don't know

22
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: it's college station regardless where A and M is right,

23
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: College station and m yeah and uh. And then of

29
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: a part of it. We were stuck inside.

30
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: Go out there and then and then we're gonna I

31
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: think we're gonna just we're gonna start planning our bananas tour. Yeah,

32
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: probably the winter time, right, I think the winter time

33
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: is a nice time.

34
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: I think that'll be perfect time. Let's go all out.

35
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: We're going to hit some big cities and maybe some

36
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: small cool theaters and not so big cities. Let's just

37
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 2: go have the best time of our gosh, dang live

38
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,040

Speaker 2: love hearing them, even if we don't use it. Don't

42
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: take it personally. We just have to do different types

43
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: of stories. We try to keep a variety. Heines had

44
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: fifty seven flavors of pickles. That's why it's heines fifty seven,

45
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: A lot of people don't know that psych okay. Bound

46
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 2: to ramble, that is true. Bound to ramble eighty eight

47
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 2: sent this in thanks you so much. Bound to ramble,

48
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: Late night banana here, good start to any story, honestly

49
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: like that. Yeah, that's a good way, like wedding toast. Hey, guys,

50
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 2: late bite night banana here. This guy's a wild card.

51
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: I had a friend who was constantly going on about

52
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 2: this amazing party trick he had, Okay, for over a year.

53
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: Every single time we saw him at a social gathering,

54
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: he insisted he had the quote greatest party trick ever. Wow. Also,

55
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 2: bound to ramble, this is how you start. This isn't enticing, Yes,

56
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: Kurt wants to know. We all want to know. He

57
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 2: insisted he had to quote the greatest party trick ever

58
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 2: and quote I got this trick, but it's just not

59
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: ready yet, he would say, whenever we wanted him to

60
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: do it. After all that time, we started shrugging it

61
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: off as like a bad bit. As much as we

62
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: loved him. After over a year of teasing this trick

63
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: at party, the day finally came he stood and said, guys,

64
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: you know that trick I've been working on. I mean,

65
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 2: that's also funny because he brought it up in the

66
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 2: first place, repeatedly teased it. Yeah, I love this.

67
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: Also, what I like about it is that it suggests

68
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: a tight knit group of friends that hang out enough

69
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: so that they're like onto each other's shit, you know,

70
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: And I really appreciate that. Where it's yeah, it's like

71
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,839
Speaker 1: Chris has been talking about this for about five years now. Yes,

72
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: the one day he stands up and says he's going

73
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: to do it. Yes, I'm on the edge of a seat.

74
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 2: I know you're a little better about that than I am.

75
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: You have more long term you have more childhood in

76
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 2: high school and college friends that have carried on. Most

77
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: of my friends I met more in New York in

78
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: LA like I make new friends as I go a lot.

79
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 2: But and also because we move a lot and you're traveling,

80
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 2: like we we have a core group of friends. But

81
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: don't you feel like you have like five circles of

82
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: friends out here and only sometimes you get them all together. Yes,

83
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 2: it's but you're right, this group of friends seems like

84
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 2: this guy's bringing it up fifty two weekends a year,

85
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: hopefully at the Melting Pot guys, you know that trick

86
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: I've been working on. He asked, Yes, it's been over

87
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: a year. We know. What is this trick that you

88
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 2: won't ever shut up about and never do?

89
00:04:54,400 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 3: He says, Quote it is ready, he says, good writer, writer,

90
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 3: He is uh with the He stands with the.

91
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 2: Biggest grin around a campfire. The crowd gathers. He pulls

92
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: down his pants, revealing an incredible pubic bush, and before

93
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 2: anyone can react, he lays He lights his pubic hair

94
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 2: on fire, the whole big bush, then dances around like

95
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: a crab comedically trying to pat it out while chanting quote,

96
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 2: hot hot, that was the whole trick. It took a

97
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 2: year because he did it once by himself and needed

98
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 2: to regrow all of his pews worth the weight.

99
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: Oh like a crab. So I'm imagining I'm imagining bent

100
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: knees in a little bit of a squat and then

101
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: and then sidestepping and with with both hands kind of clamping.

102
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: Oh oh, and then bound to ramble, and it just

103
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 2: said that's the end. Good night. So thank you. I

104
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: hope you drunkenly sent this and don't mind us using

105
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 2: it because it is so damn fun. Your friend is

106
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: a legend.

107
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: That story is gonna live on with this friend group forever.

108
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: Oh man, I honestly I thought it was gonna be

109
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: a fart lighting story.

110
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 2: I really did.

111
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: Truly so much better it is that it doesn't hurt.

112
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: Surprising that it doesn't hurt. Probably a little bit of

113
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,119
Speaker 1: pain there. There's certain people that just don't mind getting

114
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: naked in front of their friends.

115
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 2: Like I used to be that guy. Yeah, I've seen

116
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: your stuff. I saw you. I think I saw your

117
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: testicles for the first time. You were playing the Baywatch

118
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 2: pinball game at Auto Shrunken Head and you go, hey, Scotty,

119
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 2: watch this and you want like you pulled back the

120
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 2: thing to shoot the pinball up and your nuts were

121
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 2: just sitting on the pinball machine. And I was like,

122
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna like this guy. This guy and I are

123
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 2: gonna be friends for the long haul. I can tell.

124
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: That's such a well I don't remember. I like all

125
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: of so many people have told me stories about the

126
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: times they've seen my testicles, and every single one is

127
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: a surprise to be I was like, oh wow, I

128
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: did that.

129
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 2: Oh okay, it's.

130
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: Always after many drinks, that's right, And it's been a decade,

131
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: shrunk and head. Oh man, remember that place good night?

132
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 2: We uh, I was at this college party we had

133
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 2: that you messd we I was never into Greek life.

134
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: You were never into Greek life. Now we aren't huge

135
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 2: proponents of Greek life. Like, hey, make friends, get in

136
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: where you fit in. Some of them are charitable, some

137
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 2: of them are probably pretty cool.

138
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the main problem with it is

139
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: it locks you into a group, you know. I mean,

140
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: like I think you should be, especially at that age,

141
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: you should be able to like kind of flip from

142
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: group to group and see, go with the artsy kids,

143
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: then go with the drug kids, then go with the

144
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: jocks for a little while, then go with seed your kids.

145
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: You know, like, let's get a little different flavor in

146
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,239
Speaker 1: your life. Coming from somebody who dated the same person

147
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: for thirteen years, eighteen to thirty one, don't do that.

148
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't do that either. That's worse than being in

149
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: a fraternity.

150
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: I know. I was in a fraternity of one person

151
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: for thirty years.

152
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: A lot of bullying. There was a lot of hazing too.

153
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 2: I was hazing myself over and over and over again

154
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 2: for it. Oh man. So we my good buddy. Skip

155
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 2: was a couple grades up from us. It was an

156
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 2: upper classman, so he had a house and it was

157
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: on the most direct road from Umassa's campus and dorms

158
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 2: and sort of the party area, which is southwest. It's

159
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 2: where all the freshmen are. It's wild and then frat

160
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 2: Row and sort of serriti Row, but really frat Row.

161
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 2: So on any given Thursday, Thursday, Friday night, Saturday night,

162
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: just parades of women in haltertops and black pants walking

163
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 2: towards frat Row being called. So we started our own

164
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 2: fraternity and Skips house called Alpha Beta LUPA. Our rules

165
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 2: were just fun loving girls. Everybody's invited, and we would

166
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 2: uh we would get in trash cans and cover ourselves

167
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 2: in leaves and then signal each other and jump out

168
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: when the people were walking to frat Row scare the

169
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 2: hell out of them. But the best thing we would

170
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 2: do is we figured out that if we stood on

171
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 2: his porch, and I mean we're talking hundreds of kids

172
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 2: would walk down anything. Yeah wow, we would. We found

173
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 2: this big wig, like a grandma wig, big curls, we

174
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 2: would tie it to a fishing line, onto a full

175
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: sized bay fishing rod and then reel it across the

176
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 2: street whenever a new group of people came, and they

177
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 2: would scream and run so fast. I actually think we

178
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 2: saved lives. I think some people just were like, no,

179
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,719
Speaker 2: frat Row's not for me. And then we would cheer

180
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 2: Alpha beta loopa.

181
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: So it looked like it looked like an animal of

182
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: some sort, or it looked like a head.

183
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: Was dark street. Uh look like an animal? I yes,

184
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 2: like just a giant bush of an animal just charging

185
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 2: across and then a bunch of drunk Boston kids screaming

186
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 2: Alpha Beta LOOPO.

187
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: I love that because I just saw Bob Baker's Marionette Theater,

188
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 1: and that is that is bait. That is marian What

189
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: you're doing is marrying that baby.

190
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 2: It was just as a show for the people before

191
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 2: you go up there and make huge mistakes that are

192
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 2: going to ruin the rest of your life, here comes

193
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: a week between your legs at thirty miles an hour.

194
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 2: So one of the parties we skipped through was it

195
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 2: was called a dumb hat party. A dumb hat okay,

196
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 2: so don't wear a hat. Basically, so pots and pans

197
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 2: and boxes, shoe boxes, whatever you tie a shoe to

198
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 2: your head with the shoelace. So there's about thirty of

199
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 2: us hanging out getting drunk. Everybody's getting high and drunk,

200
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 2: and this one guy that I didn't know at all

201
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 2: just strolls out of the house wearing a World War

202
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 2: two helmet, completely naked, holding a cigarette and he goes

203
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 2: and at the time Mitt Romney was governor, he goes, hey,

204
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 2: Mitt Romney, I smoked cigarettes. And then he made it.

205
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 2: But he smoked a cigarette with his penis. I can't

206
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 2: explain this other than he like pull the lit cigarette,

207
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 2: he like did a thing with it, moved the cigarette away,

208
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 2: and then a little bit of smoke what came out.

209
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 2: And you really saw an alpha beta loopa because it

210
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 2: was like an open party. You didn't have to it

00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 2: and who the stiffs were. Because I'm laughing, loving it.

00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: People are walking off the deck in the porch very

216
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 2: quickly leaving the party at that moment and skips sensing

00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: of people who would put on these warehouse parties around

277
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: and it's the different colors and then you have Simon

278
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 1: Simon says. So it was a Simon says. But it

279
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: was giant, and there was. It was essentially a bunch

280
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: of It was a big square that you would get

281
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: You would get into the middle of it, and then

282
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: there was four pillars on either side of you, and

283
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: then there was a button colored button on each pillar

284
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: and then uh, it would start and each of them

285
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: was like a different The pillars were different heights and

286
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: they were flame throwers that pointed upwards.

287
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 2: No.

288
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: Yes, So they would start it and it would go

289
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: like and it would be like a tone and a

290
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: ball of flame would shoot up inside a fucking big

291
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: warehouse and then you would have to hit the button

292
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: and then it would go and it's like literally in

293
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: front of you, behind you, and you'd have to hit it.

294
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: I think I once got up ten. So it was

295
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: like pomp pomp, so fun. It was the I was

296
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: just like, this is living.

297
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's amazing, that's incredible. Brooklyn really had some of

298
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: that sweet stuff. This is a super quick anecdote, but yeah,

299
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 2: remember that art installation that was next to the Guanas

300
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 2: Yacht Club where you could drink bottle beer and they

301
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 2: built the plexiglass giant cube and then you could go

302
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 2: up the stairs and throw the beer bottle at your

303
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 2: friend so it would break in front of them. It

304
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 2: was a recycling You were there, but you might have

305
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 2: been hammeredtown. But it was basically if you can imagine

306
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 2: a two story glass, a plexiglass, a cube, and then

307
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: on one end, at the top there was an elevated

308
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 2: deck with a cutout, a rectangular cutout that was big

309
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 2: enough to throw and then you could be like Scotty

310
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 2: Goes stand at the other end and then you would

311
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 2: go stand at the standing platform and then you could

312
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 2: gun your beer at me. But between us is one

313
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 2: level of this thick like hockey glass. Yeah, and it

314
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 2: would explode. And the idea is like, we're encouraging people

315
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 2: to recycle their beers, so all of us are buying

316
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 2: so many beers just because it's fun to throw bottles

317
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 2: at people without anybody getting hurt.

318
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: Oh that's great.

319
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 2: And like every good city, New Orleans, Austin, or Portland,

320
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 2: they all have that kind of like crazy stuff. Yeah. God,

321
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 2: it's the best.

322
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: It's the reason you moved to a big city. Are

323
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: you ready for another stories?

324
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 2: Guy Mean with a ben Animals submitted story. All right please.

325
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: This is from Christina Mitchella, great name on Instagram, Bella

326
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: and on Wei. For a couple of years, I worked

327
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: for a very large and recognize corporate chain of thrift stores.

328
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: Because there's such a problem with shoplifting, drug use, and

329
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: other strange bings on. We would write incident reports and

330
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: attached photos that were sent around to all the Portland

331
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: area stores to recognize and turn away the purpse if

332
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: they went to another store. Okay, you would be shocked

333
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: to read some of the things that go down and

334
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: thrift stores, sometimes frightening, some times hilarious, often both. One day,

335
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: I'm scanning through the incident reports and my jaw hit

336
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 1: the floor when I see a report of a man.

337
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't even want to say this part. Okay,

338
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: the man. So she like kind of we we we

339
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: we kind of. I'm gonna skip this next line to

340
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: not spoil anything.

341
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 2: Okay.

342
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: The man loaded up his arms with merchandise and attempted

343
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: to exit when he was confronted by the security guard.

344
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: The man proceeded to produce a dead raccoon from underneath

345
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: his clothes, swung it like a baseball bat, hit the

346
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: security guard, who was showered with maggots.

347
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 2: Oh yes.

348
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: The man then ran out with the stuff, and the

349
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: guard doubled over and vomited in the festival of gud.

350
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 2: That guy.

351
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: That guy quit the next day understandably.

352
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 2: Yes, uh and yeah, so he.

353
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: Had hit it in his jacket. And the best part

354
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: is gottu.

355
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,520

00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: And I know I talked about this maybe once on

362
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: the podcast before, but it reminds me of did I

363
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: did talk to talk to you about the dead turkey?

364
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 2: Uh?

365
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: This was maybe buddy, a buddy of mine. Yes, didn't

366
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: have any sense of smell, and he worked as a

367
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: as a park ranger. Yes, and so one day my

368
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 1: other friend worked with him. But he didn't just didn't

369
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 1: have a sense smell. He shot a fire work up

370
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: his nose when he was a kid. Didn't have any

371
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: sense of smell, and so all day as a gag,

372
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: he had been driving the park ranger truck around with

373
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: a dead turkey that he found on the side of

374
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: the road, strapped in and like buckled into the seat

375
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 1: next to him, but he couldn't smell it. He had

376
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: no idea. He was just like waiting, you know. It

377
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: was like the long con of a good bit, waiting

378
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: for someone to open the door and like see his

379
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: little friend strapped in next to him. My gosh and

380
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: my friend rwe like, finally, after like hours that this

381
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: guy's been driving around with this dead turkey next to him,

382
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: opens the door and the whole cab smells so bad

383
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: and he has no idea. He was just like waiting

384
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: for this fucking bit of this pretty just like he

385
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 1: vomited and then it was like, oh right, it smells bad.

386
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 2: Oh no, God, that is wild. Well both I hope

387
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 2: both animals and the story died of natural causes in

388
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 2: their sleep. Uh that is insane. And there's nothing better

389
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 2: than the bit that you just have to wait so

390
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 2: long and the payoff isn't that great? Now? I mean,

391
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 2: those are my favorite bits.

392
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: That my son knows how to do it now. He

393
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: now just stands, he closes himself into the cupboard and

394
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 1: then just waits and all I can see is like

395
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: I was the other day. I was like panicked, and

396
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: I was like looking around, couldn't find it.

397
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 2: A little guy.

398
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,719
Speaker 1: And then I just see two little sneakers sticking out

399
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: from inside the cupboard. And then I opened the door.

400
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 2: And he was like, ah, oh, he was just doing

401
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,320
