Speaker 2: front of a floor to ceiling image of I don't

37
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 2: think it's pipeline.

38
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: It's not. I think it's sunset beach.

39
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 2: Maybe, yeah, because the shape of the waves a little

40
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 2: more almond than pipeline would be. But just a beautiful

41
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,360

Speaker 2: and shit and curse or scent because you're in heaven.

53
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 2: You already made it. Like if the whole reason you're

54
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 2: not cursing is so that you can go to heaven

55
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 2: once you're there, I hope you are cutting a blue

56
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 2: rug if that is.

57
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. I know. It would be so funny

58
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: if it does exist. And if I somehow sneak in

59
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: the side window, I'll be like, man, I was wrong.

60
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: I was so wrong about this. I am going to

61
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: do the panic thing with two seconds to go before

62
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: they pull the plug. Oh yeah, I'm going to be

63
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: like I believe and then just hope for the best.

64
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 2: I know. So it is you just do last rights right,

65
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: and you know what, let's do last rights.

66
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: Fire them up, Padre. I want to get in there

67
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: just in case this whole forgiveness thing is real. But yeah,

68
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: how was a trick or treating? Was it so fun?

69
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: Did you guys get a lot of candy. Also, what

70
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: is your kids? What is what are your kid's favorite?

71
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: Two candies?

72
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 2: The kids are well, uh, alf doesn't really like chocolate

73
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 2: and she doesn't like peanut butter, so she'll sometimes have chocolate,

74
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 2: but she prefers, you know, the big The big ticket

75
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: item this year was gummy cluster nerds.

76
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: Oh, I've heard that's nerd cluster.

77
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 2: Yeah. And but also and then Gus's favorite chalcol is

78
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 2: probably like anything chocolate. He just loves it all pretty much.

79
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 2: I don't think he has a favorite yet. We we

80
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 2: try and get him to, we like, what's your favorite,

81
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: and he just likes kind of like goes. I don't know.

82
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: But I bought I bought the full sized candy bars

83
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 2: at Costco good for you, two boxes twenty bucks nineteen

84
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 2: ninety nine each. That's fine, forty bucks. Forty bucks is not.

85
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 2: I feel a ton to spend on to make dreams

86
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: come true candy. And that was from five thirty to eight,

87
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: and we still had some left and I put them

88
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 2: out because then we had the kids were going to bed,

89
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 2: so I closed the door so I would say successful

90
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 2: and to be the house with the big candy.

91
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: Bars Yeah, that's what you want to be.

92
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: I also feel like it's getting more common it used

93
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 2: to be. I mean it was a myth when I

94
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: was a child, it was a myth. I remember saying

95
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: like that that house has them. People would talk about it,

96
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: and then you would go up and they wouldn't answer

97
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 2: the doorbell.

98
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a person in our neighborhood and one

99
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: year they handed out pennies and everybody, I think some

100
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: of the other parents were like, you can't hand out

101
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: pennies to these kids. And then from there on out

102
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: they would hand out Gatorades. And when Gatorade switch from

103
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: glass bottles to plastic bottles, I think at probably sixteen ounces,

104
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: you would just go and get a full Gatorade or

105
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: a thirty two ounce Gatearaide. It was the big ones,

106
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: and it was just so funny to see everybody's so

107
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: dehydrated and so jacked up on sugar and then being

108
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: like I am thirsty and they're just chugging thirty two

109
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: ounces of sugar.

110
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 2: It is interesting, Like we brought a water bottle and

111
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 2: the kids went to town on the water bottle like

112
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: the whole night, because you're they're walking for them, they're

113
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 2: walking an enormous amount. And then also like they're eating

114
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 2: candy along the way, you know that, and can sugar

115
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: makes you like thirsty, which I which I always forget

116
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 2: about because I don't burn it.

117
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: It's like throwing logs on that little Chucchu train. There's

118
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: so many shoveling sugar cold just in there as fast

119
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: as they can. It's it's the greatest holiday, at least

120
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: in America because just getting dressed up always fun, walking

121
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: around with your friends, great time. And then kids like

122
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: number one favorite thing is candy, and so it's like

123
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: they're rewarding them for just doing two great things. It's

124
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: a whoever came up with it? The modern version extremely fun.

125
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 2: There is a church down the street from my house,

126
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 2: and it's a it's one of those southern California churches

127
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 2: that are like, you know, I think they're probably pretty liberal,

128
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, But there's just still like

129
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: we actually went once for Christmas, cause it's like we

130
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 2: just don't have a Christmas tradition anymore. You know, we

131
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: used to go to Catholic Mass, and it feels weird

132
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 2: to go to Catholic Mass now, and so we're like, okay, well,

133
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 2: we'll go to this one. And we went there for

134
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 2: for Christmas once.

135
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: And it was just weird.

136
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 2: It was weird. It was you know, it was like

137
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: they took the kids away and I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

138
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 2: where you taking my kids? I uh go Catholic here, Yeah,

139
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 2: I don't like it when you take the kids to

140
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 2: places I can't see. And they took them away for

141
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 2: like an hour and a half. The whole thing was

142
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: like two hours. It was bonkers town. And then the

143
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 2: whole homily was about like essentially like that like Jesus

144
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: is a man that you love, and it was like

145
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: that's it. It wasn't anything like helpful for your life.

146
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 2: It was just like bow down before the Man of Jesus.

147
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 2: And it just left a bad taste in my mouth. Anyway.

148
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: Point is during Halloween they have this like a full

149
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 2: frontal assault to like well to like get people in

150
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 2: the door to come to go to church. There they

151
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 2: had an entire Willy Wonka like setup where it was

152
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 2: like a store and everything and so but it's always

153
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 2: like a like they always have full sized candy bars.

154
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 2: They always have it's a big deal. And and so

155
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 2: Olive is just talking it up to every child she meets, like,

156
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 2: we gotta go to the church. And then by the

157
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 2: end we're like, the kids are tired. I'm trying to

158
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 2: get them back, and all the kids are like, we

159
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 2: gotta go to church, and all of these godless la parents,

160
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 2: We're just like, this is the first and last time

161
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 2: my child is gonna be screaming, what we gotta go

162
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 2: to church?

163
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: But take out churches have a giant, king sized candy

164
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: bar for every kid that comes through your Hollywood doors,

165
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: and uh, it's not just going to go through the roof.

166
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 2: But also like, that's what churches should be doing, right.

167
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 2: I I do applaud them for that. I do not

168
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: want to go to their place, but I do applaud

169
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 2: them for that. That's great. Provide stuff for the community.

170
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: That's wonderful. The kids loved it. I really enjoyed the

171
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: fact that Gus was and this was his idea. He

172
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 2: was just a all he wanted to be was a devil,

173
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 2: and we'd be like, what kind he'd be?

174
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: Like a bad devil?

175
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 2: Nice, my guy, And so he was just dressed as

176
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: a bad devil with a horrifying mask on in front

177
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 2: of the church, like picking out a candy bar.

178
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: This is this is it? This is satan? That would

179
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: be so great. Did you see the new Willy Wonka

180
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: with old tim Shallomey?

181
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 2: Yes?

182
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: Was it good? I didn't see it. Uh it was okay.

183
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not bad. It's you know, it's it's like

184
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 2: it starts very dark.

185
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: All kids movies now start with the darkest things that

186
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: can happen to you, deaths.

187
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's galore. But also like Willy Wonka was a

188
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 2: little dark anyway, you know, total creep. Yeah, and so

189
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 2: that makes sense to me. But yeah, at the end,

190
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 2: by the end, I was like that it's a pretty

191
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 2: good movie. I don't want to heard that.

192
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: But Timmy Shalls I just didn't seem that charismatic to me.

193
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: And then I don't know if you're going to do

194
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: this story today, But we got sent the story that

195
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: there was a Timothy shallow May lookalike contest and then

196
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: one went and now I'm like, maybe.

197
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 2: I like this, Maybe I like that guy. And also

198
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 2: he didn't win. That's fantastic he got the second place.

199
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: Then maybe I do like that guy. I don't know.

200
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 2: I got well, So the fact that we opened with

201
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,359
Speaker 2: you standing in front or sitting in front of a

202
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 2: giant wave. Where are you, Scotty.

203
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: I am at the north shore of Hawaii, So I was, uh, yeah, Straw,

204
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: And now we're going to go to Asheville, North Carolina

205
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: to hang out with Mamory Hart, who is staying down

206
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: there because I tricked her. True. Well, you know this.

207
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: We I hand out candy with Mamory. We have for

208
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: about eight or nine years now, and then the last

209
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: six years besides COVID year, we get a margarita machine

210
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 1: where we hand out frozen margaritas to all the parents

211
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: and candied all the kids. And it's a highlight of

212
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:25,599
Speaker 1: my year. And then Mamory uh was there after the

213
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: hurricane and the flooding and had to make a great escape,

214
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: and so these plans got canceled and it was like,

215
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: let's go let's not h I don't know if this

216
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: would be lemonade, let's go make pina coladas.

217
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

218
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 2: So, I mean that's a gorgeous idea. I'm so happy

219
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 2: you did that.

220
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. Facts, And it's just a three nighter or yeah,

221
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: three nights, four days or whatever. But this is where

222
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: we shot a TV show that I worked on and

223
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: so everything's nicer now. They fixed everything up. But it's

224
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: just it's so relaxing as I eat bowls, pokey bowls, yeah,

225
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: you name it. But yeah, just a quickie. And it

226
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: was fun to celebrate, like I am a Dodgers fan

227
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: and went to the lots of bars and watched my friends,

228
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: and it was fun to come out here. And as

229
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: you can see, I'm wearing a Dodgers hat and everybody's

00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 2: I'm going away on Thursday.

240
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: Where are you going?

241
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 2: Well, I will by the time this comes out, I

242
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 2: will have already come back. But I am going to

243
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 2: the Shenandoah Mountains, my friends. Oh that's pretty yeah, we get.

244
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 2: There's these little primitive cabins off the Appalachian Trail and

245
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 2: Shenandoa and Shenandoah.

246
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: To our West Virginia listeners. Yes, yes, and so.

247
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're in we're in Virginia technically at this section,

248
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: and so yeah, a little primitive cabin. Inside it's got

249
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 2: six bunk beds and a small table. It's one room

250
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 2: and it's got a wood burning stove. And then outside

251
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 2: and this is the critical part that makes it's so

252
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 2: so nice. It has an outside fireplace. And we've been

253
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 2: to these cabins before with this specific friend group. This

254
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 2: is the friend group from Crow. You know, this is

255
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 2: like the Crowbros. And and it's been much needed. Last

256
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 2: time we went was eight years ago at this place,

257
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 2: and I saw a ton of black bears when I

258
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 2: was there. And it's just gorgeous because you have an

259
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 2: outside fireplace and once you get the fire cooking in there,

260
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 2: after like two three hours, that whole wall heats up

261
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 2: and it just radiates heat and you are never cold.

262
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 2: It's so so nice. It'll be like a crisp fifty

263
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 2: degrees every day.

264
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: Is so nice. That's a beauty. I mean, that's basically

265
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: where I'm from, and it's so beautiful in the woods

266
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: around there in the mountains that are so you know,

267
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: the only I've only had like two near death experiences,

268
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: and one was at Seneca Rocks in West Virginia. Who

269
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 1: I was on I was I think it was between

270
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: my freshmen and sophomore year in college. A bunch of

271
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 1: high school friends were like, we're getting a place. We're

272
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: going skiing in Canane Valley and we went skiing, but

273
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: then it was hot. It was one of those times

274
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: where we're skiing t shirts and night snow pants and

275
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: you'd have your gloves on, your mits on, and that

276
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: was kind of it. So my friends were like, well,

277
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: do you want to take a hike? And we drove

278
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: out to Seneca Rocks, which is a very beautiful hike,

279
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: and I'm talking to my friends. It's sort of single

280
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: track path around the side of this mountain and there's

281
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: a rock over this area and I stepped over and

282
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: like stretched my leg out and went on and my

283
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: friend behind me was like, dude, and I looked down

284
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: and was straight down like I It was like an

285
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: optical illusion where the rock I was stepping over went

286
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: to almost nowhere. WHOA and I had to like it

287
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: was crazy. I basically my left hand was on the

288
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: rocks and I had to pull myself back and then like,

289
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: but that would have fallen. I don't know. I won't

290
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: overestimate it, but I'll say two hundred feet maybe three

291
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: hundred feet. Yeah, And it was the first. You know,

292
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: I've been in a couple of car accidents at that point,

293
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: so it was the first one that was My bad

294
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: decision almost cost me the whole enchilada. But I pulled

295
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: the enchilada back, and that's what it's all about.

296
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 2: Protecting enchilada back, folks. All right, I'm so excited to

297
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 2: share this story, Scott. Are you ready for it?

298
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: I couldn't be more ready.

299
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 2: Oh my god. I have to give all the credit

300
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: to the wonderful and delightful Hannah Walling for sending this in. Hannah,

301
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 2: you are awesome. Thank you so much. This was okay.

302
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 2: So I do believe that this article was first published

303
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 2: in the London Times, because this is a story from

304
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety seven, and this is an article from nineteen

305
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 2: ninety seven. I've been looking and looking and looking for

306
00:15:54,800 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 2: the actual original article, and as far as I can tell,

307
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 2: this might be a reprint of it on the Independent,

308
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 2: and it's labeled just David Ironovich column from Friday, the

309
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 2: twenty fifth of July nineteen ninety seven, written by David Iranovich.

310
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 2: The best in the biz really good. And when you

311
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 2: read this see is the best in the biz. This

312
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 2: is like you realize that the quality of writing in

313
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 2: general and journalism in specific has gone downhill. This is

314
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 2: like excellent British writing in nineteen ninety seven.

315
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: Here it is y take me back, Okay.

316
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 2: Every evening for a year a computer programmer, Neil Simmons

317
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: would go down to the end of his garden in

318
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 2: stockin tigerhead Devin, I made that sound more German than

319
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 2: it was and call to the owls, and the owls

320
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 2: would call back. So intense and varied did these crepuscular

321
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 2: exchanges become that mister Simmons, an owl reader by hobby,

322
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 2: began to nurture hopes of finally discovering the hidden language

323
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 2: of owls. Wooo, hooted mister Simmons. Wooooo, replied the owl.

324
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 2: As it happens. At exactly the same time, Fred corn,

325
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 2: as a retired company director, was enjoying a very similar,

326
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 2: though slightly more passive twilight conversation with the owl at

327
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 2: the bottom of his garden. Woooooo when the owl mister

328
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 2: Corns would respond. For any two men to be spending

329
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 2: exactly the same evenings thus engaged may be considered mildly coincidental.

330
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 2: What lifts this tale beyond the normal, however, is that

331
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 2: mister Korns is also a resident of tiny stuck in Tiganhead. Indeed,

332
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 2: his garden in fact a butts onto that of mister Simmons,

333
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 2: and the obvious explanation of their shared experience would surely

334
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 2: be that they're one unaware of events next door, that

335
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 2: one unaware of events next door had been communicating with

336
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 2: the very same garrulous bird who had been so entertaining

337
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 2: the Unfortunately, this one owl, two men explanation was exploded

338
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,360
Speaker 2: by a chance conversation between their wives, who met each

339
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 2: other in the driveway and began to chat. One recounted

340
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 2: how her lovable but eccentric spouse liked to hoot in

341
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: the garden before bed. The other reciprocated with tales of

342
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 2: how her own old feller liked nothing better than a

343
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 2: nice alfresco squawk before turning in. The two women looked

344
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 2: at each other. The men were called and the case

345
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 2: put to them, and each recorded an example of his

346
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 2: owl speak. In the end, they were left inescapably but

347
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 2: embarrassingly with the two men no owl theory. This will

348
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 2: have been particularly going for mister Simmons, who, as an expert,

349
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 2: will have known that some of his calls were what

350
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 2: shall we say, hoots of avian desire embarrassment. Aside, there

351
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 2: are I think, and then Aaron goes into a bunch

352
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 2: of different things.

353
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: It's so funny these grown men owling to each other

354
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: is just so fun And I hope they're best friends now.

355
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 1: I mean, it's I really do thirty years later and

356
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, almost thirty years later and you're like,

357
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: I just hope you guys are best friends. That and

358
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,199
Speaker 1: maybe when they're at the bar and one goes up

359
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: to order beers for the other one, he gives a

360
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: couple of hoots. The guy hoots right.

361
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 2: Be at for one year, going out every night and

362
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 2: just hooting at each other is so so funny to me.

363
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: Life before the internet, life before smartphones, you just had

364
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: to find entertainment on your own. Damn. That's so sweet. Though.

365
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 1: They both were enthusiastic. Yeah, and I wonder have said anything.

366
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 2: Oh, that's an interesting idea.

367
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: That's just let wives have just known and just let them.

368
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 2: Well. The thing is is that one guy was an

369
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 2: owl breeder, and so it was kind of like part

370
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 2: of his thing. So he was recording all of the conversations.

371
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 2: That's another thing. He recorded every hoot. He has like

372
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 2: a journal for a year of just another man's hoots

373
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 2: back at him in the night time.

374
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 1: I know, pre internet, pre smartphone. It was it awesome

375
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: or was it sad? It's up for you to decide.

376
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 1: My friend always made the joke because another when I

377
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 1: was waiting tables. Around the time you and I left

378
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: New York, they started to get phone access or Wi

379
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 1: Fi underground in the subways. But when you and I

380
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: lived there, yeah, no phones. It was like you lost

381
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 1: all reception and it was peace and trying lightly. It

382
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: was I read so many books on the f train,

383
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: It's unthinkable. And then when I got back, I was like, oh,

384
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: this is crazy, and another person's like, I hate it.

385
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: I hate that everybody's looking down on their phones and

386
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: out of each other. My friend Jessica was said, yeah,

387
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: but what was it before? Before when you read newspapers,

388
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: you would open a full newspaper. It was like building

389
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: a wall in front of your face. Yeah, she's so right. Yeah,

390
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: looking down on your phone, you can kind of have

391
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, three hundred and fifty degrees a vision.

392
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 1: But when you open a newspaper like not today, rest

393
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: of this train, and then just build a little house

394
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: around your face. No, it is better.

395
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 2: I know that. I always there's a meme out there

396
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 2: about like, oh, the world was so much better before phones.

397
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 2: And then it's just a packed train with every man

398
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 2: with a newspaper in front of his face.

399
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, just vibing, just everybody's vibe being on a deeper emotional,

400
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: spiritual level.

401
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 2: Don't worry, we'll be able to build that wall again soon.

402
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 2: Once the VR headsets happen. Guys, there, it's gonna be

403
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 2: a new chank. There's gonna be a new chink in

404
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 2: the dystopia future that we have in they have in

405
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 2: store for us, where everybody's just walking around with VR headsets.

406
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: I know the introverts will rejoice. They'll just have their

407
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: own paradise. They'll just have their own living room on

408
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: their headsets, so no matter where they are, they're just

409
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: in their safe space, and God bless them, they need it.

410
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 1: Them take care. That's a great I mean god, But okay,

411
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: So if Lauren was going out every night and doing

412
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: bird calls and then you later found out that somebody

413
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: two streets over was responding, would you tell her? I

414
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: guess you would, right.

415
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 2: I guess, So it's a I do agree with you

416
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 2: that it is a question though.

417
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, they loved it.

418
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 2: I think the It sounds like the wives like immediately

419
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 2: called their husbands over. So it was like immediately, I

420
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 2: think it was just like you fucking dumb son of

421
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 2: a bitch.

422
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: If it was that that, I kind of like it.

423
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 2: Hey, idiots, get over your idiots.

424
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: It would also be great if the tale was that

425
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: those two men hated each other for twenty years prior

426
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: to this, like that, yes, never find common ground. One

427
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 1: painted their door red, the other's mailbox was shaped like

428
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: a manatee. They couldn't stand each other, and then slowly

429
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: they fall in love from hooting at each other for

430
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: over a year. There is that nicer way to think

431
00:22:58,760 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: of it.

432
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is an the way to think of it,

433
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 2: but it is very common, I especially in nineteen ninety six,

434
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 2: to just have a family. Wheers like, we don't get

435
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 2: divorced and so instead we live with a person we

436
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 2: revile every second we revile them.

437
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's some of that. I mean, there's some of that. Okay,

00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: She thought it could be cocos, so she stayed home.

480
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:28,520

486
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 1: its first ever chugging competition, where you would win by

487
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: chugging a twenty four ounce glass of their ranch dressing.

488
00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 2: So twenty four ounces, so like one ounces like a

489
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 2: table a pound. One ounce is a tablespoon though.

490
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 1: Around sure a shot glass, yeah yeah, so small shot glass,

491
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: So that's.

492
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 2: Probably I'm just trying to figure out what ranch comes

493
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 2: in clocks in a like.

494
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: Pint glass is sixteen ounces. Yeah, so it's one and

495
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: a half pint glasses in ten seconds of ranch dressing.

496
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 2: It's also all of your calories for the day. It's

497
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 2: probably like two thousand and four hundred right there.

498
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: It's pretty crazy. It only took ten seconds for competitor

499
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 1: zach Orvis to chug all twenty four ounces of the

500
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: ranch and take home the win. When asked how he

501
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: consumes so much ramp so quickly, Orvis said, I've seen

502
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: people pour that amount that amount on their salads, So

503
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: what's the difference.

504
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 2: I mean, he's got a line, he's got a line

505
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 2: for it.

506
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: He's so nonchalant about That's also not an answer. He

507
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: could have said like, oh, I took a deep breath

508
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 1: and I didn't eat this morning, or I ate lots

509
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: of iceberg lettuce. I mean a little salad in my belly.

510
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: But no. Also in western Michigan, if you're putting twenty

511
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: four ounces of ranch on your salad, sign me up.

512
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: Orviis did, however, have his fair share of competition. The

513
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: Harmful Rooster cap the competition at twelve people.

514
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 2: It's called the Harmful Rooster. Yes, okay, fun.

515
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: Name, Yeah, fun name.

516
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 2: That's what you want anytime you want to go to

517
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 2: something called the Harmful Black Yeah.

518
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 1: I know there are four people left on the waiting list.

519
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: They'll get him in next year because we're reporting it.

520
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: So it's going to be a big deal. One of

521
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 1: the competitors actually next year, if you want to, if

522
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: you get in on this will send you Banana's merchandise

523
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: to compete as a team Bananamal and we hope you

524
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: at least finish the twenty four ounces.

525
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,959
Speaker 2: Or go to the violence Fueled Rooster and have a

526
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 2: great time.

527
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 1: That's right, it's just down the street at the Serial

528
00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: Killer Chicken Shack. Have fun. One of them. One of

529
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 1: the competitors was a ten year old named Jordan Petterley.

530
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: All Petterley had to say was I'm a kid. I'm

531
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: the youngest person here. Good luck.

532
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 2: Also, he should have said, I'm a kid. I'm the

533
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 2: only one who should be doing this.

534
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could actually digest this. I'll be hungry in

535
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: two hours. One owner, Randy Roost, that's what it's called

536
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: rus DN, I think, came prepared for the big day,

537
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 1: making sure there were buckets by every competitor justin case,

538
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: you know, you'd get it. Rust had his competitor's sign

539
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: a waiver. How much more Midwest can you get than

540
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: guzzling ranch dressing, Bruce said, Still, rus clearly underestimated orvis.

541
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: I don't feel sick at all. It's just ranch dressing,

542
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: Orbis said moments after winning. Moments after winning, I don't

543
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: feel sick at all. It's just.

544
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 2: Also, you know what, I I this might be weird,

545
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 2: but I don't think of Michigan as the Midwest. For

546
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 2: some reason, I think of Wisconsin as the Midwest. I

547
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 2: think of Minnesota's the with Midwest. I think of Ohio

548
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 2: as the Midwest. But for some reason, I simply do

549
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 2: not take Michigan. I feel like Michigan has a different

550
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 2: character than the rest of the Midwest. I feel like,

551
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 2: I really do feel that.

552
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: I mean the geographically, I think there could not be

553
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: more smack dab in the middle the Midwest. But I

554
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: know what you're saying, there's something about Michigan.

555
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's something about Michigan. Maybe it's because they're so

556
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 2: far north. The mid means the mid it's got to

557
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 2: be in the center, you know.

558
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: But there we need a new region up there. That's

559
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: what we need. We have a new region. Just cut

560
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: the Dakotas out there. The Dakota's are just the Dakotas

561
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: they can They probably very naturally a beautiful place. Yeah, nobody.

562
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: When you meet somebody from one of the Dakota's, it

563
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: is like meeting somebody from the moon. It's so fascinating.

564
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 2: Because there's five there's five people who live there.

565
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 3: I know.

566
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: When I was at UMass, I used to go to

567
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: all the Hasakasa meetings all like the I was just

568
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: friends with the Black student Union. I would just go

569
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: those meetings that sit there. They all thought I was fun.

570
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: So they were like, we don't care. And there's this

571
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: one kid that was like, yo, Scottie, I got into

572
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: grad school. I'm going for free. I wasn't aware he's

573
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: like North Dakota State. I was like, congratulations. He goes, yeah,

574
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: they're just giving scholarships any brown kid, and I go, man,

575
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: good luck, but he did. He was like I wasn't

576
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: even a good student. I had like a two point seven,

577
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: but they just accepted me. And I'm like, this is

578
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: one strategy, just zero diversity. And they're like, send us

579
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: you're not white people, and they get a full ride

580
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: for grad school. I hope that guy turned out alive.

581
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: I don't feel sick at all. It's just ranch dressing

582
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: or visaid moments after winning the competition. The prize sought

583
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: after all twelve competitions was a one hundred dollars a

584
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: gift card and a free order of All you can

585
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: Eat wings every week until the spring of twenty twenty five,

586
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: pretty good. Oh, not bad, that's pretty good.

587
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 2: Wow. It also as if heat this guy needs any.

588
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: Orvis orvis Or.

589
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 2: I'm worried about Orvis' health, is what I'm saying, Zach Orvis.

590
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: They might live to regret that weekly all you can

591
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: Eat wings zach Orbs rolls through.

592
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 2: That's tough. That's tough because it's it's a tempting offer.

593
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 2: It is a tempting offer to just know Thursdays are covered.

594
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 2: I know you could go in start earlier and earlier

595
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 2: two pm. It's it's all you can eat until clothes.

596
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: But Randy Roost, the Randy rust, the owner of the

597
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: harmful Rooster, this guy gets it. If you're first of all,

598
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: it took ten seconds. It's it is a disgusting amount

599
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: of ranch dressing. But that doesn't warrant one thousand dollars.

600
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 2: No, No, this is the.

601
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: Correct gift card. And until spring, not even a date.

602
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: Could be till the spring, could be April, could be.

603
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 2: May, and also not a full year. Because he's he's

604
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 2: kind of figured it out. He's like, how much does

605
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 2: this guy eat?

606
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: So we're talking max sixteen weeks of All you can

607
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: Eat Wings max and one hundred bucks. Maybe maybe that

608
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: can't show up one week, so he loses that. This

609
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: is a perfectly what's the word. I'm trying to say,

610
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: it's the perfect pairing. It's just great. Randy Ruster runs

611
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: a tight ship. And it's safe to say that these

612
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: competitors were ready to take on the ranch Orvis just

613
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: slammed it better than the rest. That's good writing. Rus

614
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: tells me that he is hopeful that this year will

615
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: be the first of many for this ranch chugging competition

616
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: again Western Michigan Ban Animals. If you get on that

617
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: list next year, we will send you a shirt and

733
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 2: Actually it might be Casey Bazil. I don't know. This

734
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 2: was an October fourth. Someone sent this in an big

735
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,479
Speaker 2: I really apologized, guys, that's okay. It was a long

736
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 2: time ago. I mean it was October fourth, and I've

737
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 2: been saving it and moving it and trying to keep

738
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 2: doing it, and I keep not doing it, but now

739
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 2: I'm doing it here. It is like countless other people.

740
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 2: In Japan, twenty three year old Karen Rio walked into

741
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 2: a convenience store to do some shopping on the night

742
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 2: of September sixteenth, but while it's unclear for Yo ever

743
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 2: obtained what she'd got in the store in search of

744
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 2: while she was there, she decided to dispense some justice.

745
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,800
Speaker 2: The incident occurred shortly before eight pm in the shitty

746
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 2: neighborhood that is its Shi Tte. I don't know how

747
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 2: shity shitty, It sounds like shitty neighborhood of the city

748
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 2: of Yokohama's Surrumi ward, slightly south of Tokyo. While Rio

749
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 2: was at the store, a man attempted to shop lift

750
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 2: a six pack of beer, and when he attempted to flee,

751
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 2: a clerk confronted him, two becoming entangled near the store's exit.

752
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 2: Noticing the altercation, Rio stepped in and, after ensnaring the

753
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 2: man's legs, brought him to the ground and put him

754
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 2: in a headlock. Uh The man attempted to break free

755
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 2: by biting Rio on her left forearm. With enough force.

756
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 2: The two weeks later, there are still visible teethmarks on

757
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 2: her skin. Rio's grippelled fast, though, and she kept the

758
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 2: man subdued until the police were summoned and arrived on

759
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 2: the scene, where he was placed under arrest. As an

760
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 2: office worker who works in Serumi, Rio's daily job does

761
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 2: not involve subduing criminals, so following the incident, some wondered

762
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 2: if maybe she has experience in martial arts training. But

763
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 2: that's not part of her background either. I've never done

764
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 2: martial arts. I took tea ceremony lessons, she says, instead

765
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 2: crediting a love of anime for her headlock technique. I

766
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 2: like anime, so I just sort of imitated what I've

767
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 2: seen in it.

768
00:40:59,080 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 3: I love it.

769
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 2: At the time time, I wasn't scared. It felt like

770
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 2: my body was just moving on its own, Rio recalls,

771
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 2: adding that it wasn't until after the incident that she

772
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 2: stopped to think about the possibility that the man could

773
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 2: have had a knife or been otherwise armed. It's lightly

774
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 2: for that reason that, even as a representative for the

775
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 2: to Surrey Police Precinct praised her courage, he advised others

776
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 2: who might witness crime to prioritarize, to prioritize, to avoid

777
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 2: putting themselves at undue risk and contact the Police's.

778
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: That's right, don't don't do it.

779
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 2: If you don't, I mean, but how many times it's like.

780
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: A gunless society. It's so different over there, it's so different.

781
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 2: But how many times have you seen in your mind

782
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,879
Speaker 2: the thing you were gonna do and then gone and

783
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,720
Speaker 2: did something radically different?

784
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: I mean every single time. When you know, we at

785
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,760
Speaker 1: Sacred Heart in Glendon, Maryland, when we had like monthly

786
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 1: churches or whatever we had to go to mass, I

787
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,959
Speaker 1: would just sit there and think about if terrorists broke

788
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,879
Speaker 1: into this, how would I hide? Where would I hide here?

789
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 1: Like instantly go under the pew and crawl over here,

790
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 1: and then like go behind the baptismal phone. Then I'd

791
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 1: climb up the back of the giant organ pipes and

792
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: get up it, and like I would have a whole

793
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 1: battle plan. What was I going to do? I was

794
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: like ten years old, Yeah, but I'd seen the movie

795
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: Toy Soldiers, which is an underrated nineties hit, and yeah,

796
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: in my head, I had a whole escape route that

797
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: I was going to call nine one one then go

798
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 1: back in and start rescuing people. Like what am I talking? Asked?

799
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: I would have stood up too fast and gotten nosebleed,

800
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: farted and passed out. Like that's at best.

801
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 2: You do all. I at least always wonder about those situations,

802
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 2: like do you do? Do I instinctually just do the

803
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 2: thing that needs to be done? And I hope I do,

804
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 2: But honestly, you just don't know until you're in that situation, right,

805
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 2: I know, I mean you maybe maybe maybe it works

806
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 2: to prime yourself to like dood do the good right thing,

807
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 2: you know, to go in and do help the person

808
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 2: instead of run away.

809
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely have that in mind. But yes, it's but

810
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: what are you really going to do? It's over there. Also,

811
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: let's be real, like if somebody's smaller than me, my

812
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:19,760
Speaker 1: confidence goes way up. If somebody's my slides are bigger, boy,

813
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:24,320
Speaker 1: do I wimp out in a real hurry? But everybody

814
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: will just run? I mean, I'm a runner, let's face it.

815
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,839
Speaker 1: It's interesting. I had a college professor and I can't

816
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: even remember the class. It was a communication class, I

817
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: know that, but he was like, raise your hands if

818
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 1: you know what the inside of an emergency room looks

819
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 1: like and he's like, keep them up if you've ever

820
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,320
Speaker 1: been in an emergency room, and like ninety five percent

821
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,399
Speaker 1: of the college kids went down, and there's like, raise

822
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: your hand if you know what the inside of a

823
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: courtroom looks like, and leave your hands up if you've

824
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: ever inside of court room, and like two hands state up,

825
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: and he kept doing it. It's like if you and

826
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: then he was like, if you think you know how

827
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 1: to load and fire a gun, raise your hand. And

828
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: he was like everything you think you know is because

829
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 1: TV taught you what this looks like and how it

830
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 1: is or movies. And it blew my mind at eighteen

831
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 1: because I was like, yeah, everything I think I understand about, Yeah,

832
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 1: what the inside of the White House looks like? What

833
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,280
Speaker 1: I hadn't been on an international flight, like even getting

834
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: food on an airplane, I've never seen that, but I'd

835
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:23,479
Speaker 1: seen on so many movies. It is crazy how much

836
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: knowledge we all have because of TV and movies that

837
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 1: you would never admit, Oh, I don't know what the

838
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 1: fuck I'm talking about.

839
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:33,879
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and also intimate knowledge, intimate knowledge.

840
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 1: Of what it looks like.

841
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 2: Right, it would be really funny if the like there

842
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 2: wasn't actually an oval office, like not a real one,

843
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:44,359
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. It would be so funny

844
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 2: if if the President's office was just kind of another roub.

845
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:50,479
Speaker 2: He's like, well, this is where I spend all my time.

846
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,879
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think sometimes when I go to zoos now,

847
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 1: like San Diego Zoo or whatever, and I see an

848
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: animal and I realize I've seen it on Planet or

849
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: Earth or Blue Planet or all the things I've watched

850
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 1: for the last forty years, It's like sometimes I'm like, oh, yeah,

851
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: I know exactly what this is, but it's the first

852
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,839
Speaker 1: time you see the real McCoy, and that is it's

853
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: just weird our understanding. I've never been to Africa. I've

854
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: never been any countries in Africa, and I feel like

855
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: I could really tell you about so far As in

856
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 1: Kenya and what South Africa looks like from paragliding, and

857
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 1: just walk you through Egypt. I could just give you

858
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: a perfect tour of Egypt. And I've never been and

859
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: we're close to Africa. I know what the lemurs are

860
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 1: doing in Madagascar.

861
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 2: They're standing up, they're looking around. They can't find the

862
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 2: thing they're looking for.

863
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: If I have told this I'm so sorry. But my

864
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 1: friend Dell grew up in Manhattan, and Dell, he was

865
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 1: a great dude, is a great dude, but he is.

866
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 1: He's a black guy who went to school in Upper

867
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 1: or West Side Manhattan and as a school field trip,

868
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: they bust all the kids out to where in the

869
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: world is Carmen San Diego? The the hit game show

870
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: for kids and after school highlight show in the nineties,

871
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: and he advanced and they gave him the continent of

872
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: Africa and the way that the final round, if you won,

873
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: they would say, here's the United States, and they would

874
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: go Tennessee and you had to put like a flag

875
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 1: thing and had a light on it, and if you

876
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: got it right, you moved on. You got five of

877
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: them or whatever ten of them you won for the day.

878
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: And I know they they were prejudiced. I know they

879
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: gave del Africa because he was a black kid, really

880
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: and he did not get one right.

881
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's confusing.

882
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, large air so hard because they didn't give him

883
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 1: South Africa start with a layout the southernmost country and

884
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 1: this poor kid is running around on TV just biffing it.

885
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 1: So but then you go, yeah, if they if I

886
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 1: had Asia and they go Japan, I go got it,

887
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: they go China, got it. And then when they start

888
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: to go Vietnam or Malaysia or Bangladesh, I'm oh, I might.

889
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 2: But you know, my brother is in the State Department,

890
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 2: and so he would he would play this game with

891
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 2: me where he would just name he would name capitals

892
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 2: of countries and then I would have to name the country.

893
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 2: I could not name one if you put like if

894
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 2: I had a blank map of South America and of Africa,

895
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 2: and I would even Europe. I would get the majority wrong,

896
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 2: like I could pick out Italy because it's a boot shape.

897
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 1: Because you know, ignorant.

898
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 2: So like I just geography has never been a thing,

899
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 2: even the United States. I have a general idea, but

900
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 2: actually no, like Olive and Gus came across this like

901
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:45,760
Speaker 2: little map.

902
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: It was.

903
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 2: It was a puzzle for kids, and it's all wooden pieces,

904
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 2: and all the wooden pieces are the States. Even that

905
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 2: we spent hours just being like this is what I know.

906
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,240
Speaker 2: This one's main but that's pretty much and then it stops.

907
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, I know. We I was doing

908
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,879
Speaker 1: bar Trivia and silver Lake right before the Great Choir,

909
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,760
Speaker 1: and I was with Blake and Mikey and my other friends.

910
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 1: And then the final round for our trivia team were

911
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 1: state capitals and you had to send one person from

912
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 1: your team up to the stairs, so it wasn't that

913
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 1: bar public house that's closed now. And then it was

914
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 1: first every time you got one wrong or you repeated one,

915
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 1: you were eliminated, and they sent me up and I

916
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 1: just held a few in the back of my in

917
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,760
Speaker 1: the back pocket, like everybody knows, sort of the basic ones.

918
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 1: But I was sitting on Maryland, which everybody thinks is Baltimore.

919
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:39,799
Speaker 2: Oh wait, wait, let me think, I think Columbia, right, No, no, oh,

920
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 2: what is it?

921
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 1: Annapolis?

922
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 2: Annapolis?

923
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 1: And so that's like a sneaky one. And then Florida.

924
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 1: Everybody thinks it's like Jacksonville or Miami or one, and

925
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:53,399
Speaker 1: it's Tallahassee. And so I was just sitting on these

926
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 1: capitals and we ended up winning the round and winning

927
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:57,800
Speaker 1: the game. But it was so funny just to watch

928
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 1: four adults no clue because once somebody named one, you

929
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 1: were like, oh, California, You're like Sacramento, Okay, that's easy, yeah,

930
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 1: And then you get to the middle and you're like,

931
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:12,280
Speaker 1: is it Omaha or is it Lincoln And does it matter?

932
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: I'm not sure.

933
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 2: Also, it's interesting as cities that capitals are for the

934
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 2: most part, disappointment city, not the best city, they're disappointment

935
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 2: cities like Sacramento. Do you want to go to Sacramento?

936
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 1: I think about Sacramento more than the average person you do.

937
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 1: I think you know people that hate California, they really

938
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:41,239
Speaker 1: hate La and San Francisco. They don't hate the whole state.

939
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 1: You can't hate California because you're like, oh, you hate Yosemite,

940
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 1: Well then you're a monster. You hate the Redwoods, go

941
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 1: to hell. Yeah. But I'm like, and then Sacramento is

942
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: sitting right there, and I'm like, what they should just

943
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,799
Speaker 1: inject so much money and culture into that city and

944
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 1: just make it so unique and so cool and just

945
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,320
Speaker 1: build it to be something new. And instead it's.

946
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 2: Like, nah, I will I hear that, just because San

947
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 2: Francisco is so insane, the Bay Areas so looney Tunes,

948
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 2: looks like in its own world with prices, that Sacramento

949
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 2: is starting to become cool. That is, I know one

950
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 2: person that lives there and they're just like, it's starting

951
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 2: to become cool now.

952
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 1: So look at that. Hope that's true. I look at

953
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 1: the barbecue there once. I still did a boutique motel

954
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 1: there once. That was really cool. I think it needs

955
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:32,919
Speaker 1: to be a great California city. So I'm pro Sacramento. Yep,

956
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 1: it's an educational podcast.

957
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 2: Here's one of educational Send us home, Scottie, send us God.

958
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:41,960

961
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 1: Thank you, Steph. This was in science alert dot com,

962
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 1: so you know it's got to be maybe real. Written

963
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 1: by Michelle Starr Best in the Biz. Also sounds like

964
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 1: a fake name for Science alert dot com, but thank

965
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 1: you Michelle Starr for doing the lord's work. Rock used

966
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 1: as doorstep for decades turns out to be worth over

967
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 1: one million dollars. One man's trash is another man's treasure,

968
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 1: but a chunk of rock used to keep a door

969
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 1: open for decades is a treasure by pretty much any

970
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:20,319
Speaker 1: metric you might use. Good writing. The three point five

971
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: kilogram ak seven point seven pound stone was found in

972
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:26,760
Speaker 1: a stream bed in southeast Romania by an elderly woman

973
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 1: who brought it home and put it to use as

974
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 1: a doorstop. Her discovery turned out to be one of

975
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:35,399
Speaker 1: the biggest intact chunks of amber in the world, its

976
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 1: value somewhere in the region of one point one US

977
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 1: million dollars.

978
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Oh my god. Did she get the money?

979
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 2: Did she get the money?

980
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:49,400
Speaker 1: The elderly woman who found this particular rumnite nugget ba

981
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. No. The woman died in nineteen ninety one,

982
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 1: but a relative inherited her home suspected the doorstop might

983
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 1: be more than meets THEI. On learning what he had,

984
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 1: he sold the amber to a Romanians, to the Romanian state,

985
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,360
Speaker 1: who had it a praise by experts at the Museum

986
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:08,840
Speaker 1: of History in Krackow And, Poland. According to these experts,

987
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 1: amber is like this amber is likely between thirty eight

988
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 1: and seventy million years old. What a guest, am it?

989
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 1: What a nice range, A.

990
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 2: Giant forty five million year range. It's just it's somewhere

991
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 2: in somewhere, essentially saying it's old. We don't know if

992
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 2: it's old or really old.

993
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 1: So that guy scored a million dollars from the Romanian state,

994
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 1: and then it resembles a man in Michigan, which is,

995
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 1: according to us, not a Midwestern state. But you can

996
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 1: sound off in our DMS.

997
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:41,439
Speaker 2: Sound off in our DMS sound off.

998
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 1: Who kept us a large Oh? He kept a large

999
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 1: piece of rock as a doorstop, only to be found

1000
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 1: he was keeping a meteorite that was worth over one

1001
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars. So check your doorstops. Stops using a rock.

1002
00:52:54,360 --> 00:53:00,200
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I like I like a rock doorstop. There's

1003
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 2: to have a manufactured doorstop. When rocks are everywhere we live,

1004
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 2: pile of rocks, use one.

1005
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:12,760
Speaker 1: To put your door open. That's right. Well, thank you everybody,

1006
