<v Speaker 2>Guys, goals, non binary pals. Welcome to a very a

0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 2>very special episode of Bananas. A very special solo episode

0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:16.639
<v Speaker 2>of Bananas. I'm staring at a man, yeah, who's known

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 2>as the greatest screenwriter in America. He is standing in

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 2>front of a floor to ceiling image of I don't

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:29.360
<v Speaker 2>think it's pipeline.

0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:31.080
<v Speaker 1>It's not. I think it's sunset beach.

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 2>Maybe, yeah, because the shape of the waves a little

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:39.799
<v Speaker 2>more almond than pipeline would be. But just a beautiful

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:41.360
<v Speaker 2>breaking wave, a huge barrel.

0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Scottie Landis KURTI b you. You're everybody's favorite, and you

0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 1>know when the rapture comes, you're going first, because they're

0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:54.400
<v Speaker 1>going to need a stand up comedian to welcome people

0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:56.720
<v Speaker 1>through those pearly gates, and it's gonna be you. And

0:02:56.760 --> 0:03:00.200
<v Speaker 1>I also know, as a former Catholic schoolboy. You be

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 1>great doing just riftogging with Saint Pete to your left

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.800
<v Speaker 1>and all the other fake religions to your right. Just

0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:09.000
<v Speaker 1>everybody hanging out and you're welcoming them in with a

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 1>good guffall because.

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 2>Once you get to heaven, yeah you can say fuck

0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:18.959
<v Speaker 2>and shit and curse or scent because you're in heaven.

0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.680
<v Speaker 2>You already made it. Like if the whole reason you're

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:23.799
<v Speaker 2>not cursing is so that you can go to heaven

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.960
<v Speaker 2>once you're there, I hope you are cutting a blue

0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:27.960
<v Speaker 2>rug if that is.

0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it is. I know. It would be so funny

0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:36.200
<v Speaker 1>if it does exist. And if I somehow sneak in

0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.960
<v Speaker 1>the side window, I'll be like, man, I was wrong.

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I was so wrong about this. I am going to

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:43.440
<v Speaker 1>do the panic thing with two seconds to go before

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 1>they pull the plug. Oh yeah, I'm going to be

0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:48.880
<v Speaker 1>like I believe and then just hope for the best.

0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:52.120
<v Speaker 2>I know. So it is you just do last rights right,

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:55.520
<v Speaker 2>and you know what, let's do last rights.

0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:59.080
<v Speaker 1>Fire them up, Padre. I want to get in there

0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:04.760
<v Speaker 1>just in case this whole forgiveness thing is real. But yeah,

0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.560
<v Speaker 1>how was a trick or treating? Was it so fun?

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Did you guys get a lot of candy. Also, what

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.120
<v Speaker 1>is your kids? What is what are your kid's favorite?

0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Two candies?

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:19.719
<v Speaker 2>The kids are well, uh, alf doesn't really like chocolate

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:23.920
<v Speaker 2>and she doesn't like peanut butter, so she'll sometimes have chocolate,

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:29.560
<v Speaker 2>but she prefers, you know, the big The big ticket

0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 2>item this year was gummy cluster nerds.

0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I've heard that's nerd cluster.

0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:43.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. And but also and then Gus's favorite chalcol is

0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:47.840
<v Speaker 2>probably like anything chocolate. He just loves it all pretty much.

0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:49.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't think he has a favorite yet. We we

0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:51.440
<v Speaker 2>try and get him to, we like, what's your favorite,

0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:53.520
<v Speaker 2>and he just likes kind of like goes. I don't know.

0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 2>But I bought I bought the full sized candy bars

0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:01.400
<v Speaker 2>at Costco good for you, two boxes twenty bucks nineteen

0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.839
<v Speaker 2>ninety nine each. That's fine, forty bucks. Forty bucks is not.

0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:08.159
<v Speaker 2>I feel a ton to spend on to make dreams

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:12.080
<v Speaker 2>come true candy. And that was from five thirty to eight,

0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:15.240
<v Speaker 2>and we still had some left and I put them

0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:16.920
<v Speaker 2>out because then we had the kids were going to bed,

0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:20.279
<v Speaker 2>so I closed the door so I would say successful

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:22.360
<v Speaker 2>and to be the house with the big candy.

0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:23.599
<v Speaker 1>Bars Yeah, that's what you want to be.

0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:27.520
<v Speaker 2>I also feel like it's getting more common it used

0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:30.600
<v Speaker 2>to be. I mean it was a myth when I

0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:33.960
<v Speaker 2>was a child, it was a myth. I remember saying

0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:36.960
<v Speaker 2>like that that house has them. People would talk about it,

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:38.760
<v Speaker 2>and then you would go up and they wouldn't answer

0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:39.760
<v Speaker 2>the doorbell.

0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there was a person in our neighborhood and one

0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:45.640
<v Speaker 1>year they handed out pennies and everybody, I think some

0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.080
<v Speaker 1>of the other parents were like, you can't hand out

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.600
<v Speaker 1>pennies to these kids. And then from there on out

0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.800
<v Speaker 1>they would hand out Gatorades. And when Gatorade switch from

0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:56.680
<v Speaker 1>glass bottles to plastic bottles, I think at probably sixteen ounces,

0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:58.880
<v Speaker 1>you would just go and get a full Gatorade or

0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:00.839
<v Speaker 1>a thirty two ounce Gatearaide. It was the big ones,

0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:02.920
<v Speaker 1>and it was just so funny to see everybody's so

0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.520
<v Speaker 1>dehydrated and so jacked up on sugar and then being

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:08.040
<v Speaker 1>like I am thirsty and they're just chugging thirty two

0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:09.240
<v Speaker 1>ounces of sugar.

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.280
<v Speaker 2>It is interesting, Like we brought a water bottle and

0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:14.599
<v Speaker 2>the kids went to town on the water bottle like

0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:17.800
<v Speaker 2>the whole night, because you're they're walking for them, they're

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:22.520
<v Speaker 2>walking an enormous amount. And then also like they're eating

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.279
<v Speaker 2>candy along the way, you know that, and can sugar

0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:28.960
<v Speaker 2>makes you like thirsty, which I which I always forget

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 2>about because I don't burn it.

0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.039
<v Speaker 1>It's like throwing logs on that little Chucchu train. There's

0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:35.400
<v Speaker 1>so many shoveling sugar cold just in there as fast

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:39.000
<v Speaker 1>as they can. It's it's the greatest holiday, at least

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:42.560
<v Speaker 1>in America because just getting dressed up always fun, walking

0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.719
<v Speaker 1>around with your friends, great time. And then kids like

0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.760
<v Speaker 1>number one favorite thing is candy, and so it's like

0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:52.160
<v Speaker 1>they're rewarding them for just doing two great things. It's

0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:55.960
<v Speaker 1>a whoever came up with it? The modern version extremely fun.

0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.359
<v Speaker 2>There is a church down the street from my house,

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:06.560
<v Speaker 2>and it's a it's one of those southern California churches

0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 2>that are like, you know, I think they're probably pretty liberal,

0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.040
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, But there's just still like

0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:16.600
<v Speaker 2>we actually went once for Christmas, cause it's like we

0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:18.760
<v Speaker 2>just don't have a Christmas tradition anymore. You know, we

0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 2>used to go to Catholic Mass, and it feels weird

0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.720
<v Speaker 2>to go to Catholic Mass now, and so we're like, okay, well,

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.240
<v Speaker 2>we'll go to this one. And we went there for

0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:27.960
<v Speaker 2>for Christmas once.

0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:29.240
<v Speaker 1>And it was just weird.

0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:32.960
<v Speaker 2>It was weird. It was you know, it was like

0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.440
<v Speaker 2>they took the kids away and I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:40.960
<v Speaker 2>where you taking my kids? I uh go Catholic here, Yeah,

0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:42.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't like it when you take the kids to

0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:44.920
<v Speaker 2>places I can't see. And they took them away for

0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:46.880
<v Speaker 2>like an hour and a half. The whole thing was

0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:49.640
<v Speaker 2>like two hours. It was bonkers town. And then the

0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:55.320
<v Speaker 2>whole homily was about like essentially like that like Jesus

0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.880
<v Speaker 2>is a man that you love, and it was like

0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:00.720
<v Speaker 2>that's it. It wasn't anything like helpful for your life.

0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:03.800
<v Speaker 2>It was just like bow down before the Man of Jesus.

0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:06.000
<v Speaker 2>And it just left a bad taste in my mouth. Anyway.

0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Point is during Halloween they have this like a full

0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:15.240
<v Speaker 2>frontal assault to like well to like get people in

0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:18.480
<v Speaker 2>the door to come to go to church. There they

0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:21.760
<v Speaker 2>had an entire Willy Wonka like setup where it was

0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:25.840
<v Speaker 2>like a store and everything and so but it's always

0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.120
<v Speaker 2>like a like they always have full sized candy bars.

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:31.560
<v Speaker 2>They always have it's a big deal. And and so

0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Olive is just talking it up to every child she meets, like,

0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.280
<v Speaker 2>we gotta go to the church. And then by the

0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:41.480
<v Speaker 2>end we're like, the kids are tired. I'm trying to

0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:43.920
<v Speaker 2>get them back, and all the kids are like, we

0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:49.680
<v Speaker 2>gotta go to church, and all of these godless la parents,

0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.840
<v Speaker 2>We're just like, this is the first and last time

0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:55.080
<v Speaker 2>my child is gonna be screaming, what we gotta go

0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:55.600
<v Speaker 2>to church?

0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:59.640
<v Speaker 1>But take out churches have a giant, king sized candy

0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:02.440
<v Speaker 1>bar for every kid that comes through your Hollywood doors,

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:04.880
<v Speaker 1>and uh, it's not just going to go through the roof.

0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.400
<v Speaker 2>But also like, that's what churches should be doing, right.

0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:09.839
<v Speaker 2>I I do applaud them for that. I do not

0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:12.760
<v Speaker 2>want to go to their place, but I do applaud

0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:16.360
<v Speaker 2>them for that. That's great. Provide stuff for the community.

0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:19.360
<v Speaker 2>That's wonderful. The kids loved it. I really enjoyed the

0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:21.640
<v Speaker 2>fact that Gus was and this was his idea. He

0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:25.720
<v Speaker 2>was just a all he wanted to be was a devil,

0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:27.440
<v Speaker 2>and we'd be like, what kind he'd be?

0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Like a bad devil?

0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:33.079
<v Speaker 2>Nice, my guy, And so he was just dressed as

0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:36.360
<v Speaker 2>a bad devil with a horrifying mask on in front

0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:38.800
<v Speaker 2>of the church, like picking out a candy bar.

0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.360
<v Speaker 1>This is this is it? This is satan? That would

0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:48.640
<v Speaker 1>be so great. Did you see the new Willy Wonka

0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:49.840
<v Speaker 1>with old tim Shallomey?

0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:50.640
<v Speaker 2>Yes?

0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Was it good? I didn't see it. Uh it was okay.

0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's not bad. It's you know, it's it's like

0:09:57.800 --> 0:09:59.840
<v Speaker 2>it starts very dark.

0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:03.960
<v Speaker 1>All kids movies now start with the darkest things that

0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:05.920
<v Speaker 1>can happen to you, deaths.

0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:09.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's galore. But also like Willy Wonka was a

0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:13.520
<v Speaker 2>little dark anyway, you know, total creep. Yeah, and so

0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:18.720
<v Speaker 2>that makes sense to me. But yeah, at the end,

0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:21.439
<v Speaker 2>by the end, I was like that it's a pretty

0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:23.400
<v Speaker 2>good movie. I don't want to heard that.

0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:26.920
<v Speaker 1>But Timmy Shalls I just didn't seem that charismatic to me.

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.280
<v Speaker 1>And then I don't know if you're going to do

0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:31.000
<v Speaker 1>this story today, But we got sent the story that

0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:33.240
<v Speaker 1>there was a Timothy shallow May lookalike contest and then

0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:36.000
<v Speaker 1>one went and now I'm like, maybe.

0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:37.720
<v Speaker 2>I like this, Maybe I like that guy. And also

0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:41.480
<v Speaker 2>he didn't win. That's fantastic he got the second place.

0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Then maybe I do like that guy. I don't know.

0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:48.080
<v Speaker 2>I got well, So the fact that we opened with

0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:51.359
<v Speaker 2>you standing in front or sitting in front of a

0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:53.679
<v Speaker 2>giant wave. Where are you, Scotty.

0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:59.840
<v Speaker 1>I am at the north shore of Hawaii, So I was, uh, yeah, Straw,

0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.760
<v Speaker 1>And now we're going to go to Asheville, North Carolina

0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:05.160
<v Speaker 1>to hang out with Mamory Hart, who is staying down

0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.200
<v Speaker 1>there because I tricked her. True. Well, you know this.

0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.880
<v Speaker 1>We I hand out candy with Mamory. We have for

0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:11.960
<v Speaker 1>about eight or nine years now, and then the last

0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:15.880
<v Speaker 1>six years besides COVID year, we get a margarita machine

0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:18.079
<v Speaker 1>where we hand out frozen margaritas to all the parents

0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.000
<v Speaker 1>and candied all the kids. And it's a highlight of

0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:25.599
<v Speaker 1>my year. And then Mamory uh was there after the

0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:28.040
<v Speaker 1>hurricane and the flooding and had to make a great escape,

0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:31.360
<v Speaker 1>and so these plans got canceled and it was like,

0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:36.200
<v Speaker 1>let's go let's not h I don't know if this

0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:39.000
<v Speaker 1>would be lemonade, let's go make pina coladas.

0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:39.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:42.560
<v Speaker 2>So, I mean that's a gorgeous idea. I'm so happy

0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:42.920
<v Speaker 2>you did that.

0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Facts, And it's just a three nighter or yeah,

0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:47.920
<v Speaker 1>three nights, four days or whatever. But this is where

0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:50.600
<v Speaker 1>we shot a TV show that I worked on and

0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:53.640
<v Speaker 1>so everything's nicer now. They fixed everything up. But it's

0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:57.640
<v Speaker 1>just it's so relaxing as I eat bowls, pokey bowls, yeah,

0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:01.000
<v Speaker 1>you name it. But yeah, just a quickie. And it

0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.920
<v Speaker 1>was fun to celebrate, like I am a Dodgers fan

0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:06.640
<v Speaker 1>and went to the lots of bars and watched my friends,

0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:08.520
<v Speaker 1>and it was fun to come out here. And as

0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:10.559
<v Speaker 1>you can see, I'm wearing a Dodgers hat and everybody's

0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:13.320
<v Speaker 1>here like go blue. And you realize the only people

0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:15.520
<v Speaker 1>here in October are I live.

0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:16.040
<v Speaker 3>In l Yeah.

0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, all the families are waiting for Christmas and winter

0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:22.440
<v Speaker 1>holidays and New Year's and so right now it's just

0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:24.960
<v Speaker 1>a nice sleepy time. Tomorrow morning I might take a

0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:27.160
<v Speaker 1>lay making class, learn how to make a lay.

0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:30.920
<v Speaker 2>I love that. That is fantastic, Thanks buddy.

0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.439
<v Speaker 1>So and you're going away right I am.

0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:34.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm going away on Thursday.

0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Where are you going?

0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:38.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, I will by the time this comes out, I

0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:41.360
<v Speaker 2>will have already come back. But I am going to

0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:45.920
<v Speaker 2>the Shenandoah Mountains, my friends. Oh that's pretty yeah, we get.

0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:51.240
<v Speaker 2>There's these little primitive cabins off the Appalachian Trail and

0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:53.800
<v Speaker 2>Shenandoa and Shenandoah.

0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:56.440
<v Speaker 1>To our West Virginia listeners. Yes, yes, and so.

0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we're in we're in Virginia technically at this section,

0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.920
<v Speaker 2>and so yeah, a little primitive cabin. Inside it's got

0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:08.840
<v Speaker 2>six bunk beds and a small table. It's one room

0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:11.600
<v Speaker 2>and it's got a wood burning stove. And then outside

0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:13.800
<v Speaker 2>and this is the critical part that makes it's so

0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:17.080
<v Speaker 2>so nice. It has an outside fireplace. And we've been

0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:20.360
<v Speaker 2>to these cabins before with this specific friend group. This

0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:22.520
<v Speaker 2>is the friend group from Crow. You know, this is

0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:27.400
<v Speaker 2>like the Crowbros. And and it's been much needed. Last

0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.320
<v Speaker 2>time we went was eight years ago at this place,

0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:33.920
<v Speaker 2>and I saw a ton of black bears when I

0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.320
<v Speaker 2>was there. And it's just gorgeous because you have an

0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:38.880
<v Speaker 2>outside fireplace and once you get the fire cooking in there,

0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:42.560
<v Speaker 2>after like two three hours, that whole wall heats up

0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:45.960
<v Speaker 2>and it just radiates heat and you are never cold.

0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:48.920
<v Speaker 2>It's so so nice. It'll be like a crisp fifty

0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:50.160
<v Speaker 2>degrees every day.

0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Is so nice. That's a beauty. I mean, that's basically

0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:58.320
<v Speaker 1>where I'm from, and it's so beautiful in the woods

0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:01.600
<v Speaker 1>around there in the mountains that are so you know,

0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:04.880
<v Speaker 1>the only I've only had like two near death experiences,

0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.640
<v Speaker 1>and one was at Seneca Rocks in West Virginia. Who

0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:10.079
<v Speaker 1>I was on I was I think it was between

0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:13.520
<v Speaker 1>my freshmen and sophomore year in college. A bunch of

0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:15.319
<v Speaker 1>high school friends were like, we're getting a place. We're

0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:19.880
<v Speaker 1>going skiing in Canane Valley and we went skiing, but

0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:21.040
<v Speaker 1>then it was hot. It was one of those times

0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:23.880
<v Speaker 1>where we're skiing t shirts and night snow pants and

0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:25.840
<v Speaker 1>you'd have your gloves on, your mits on, and that

0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:27.680
<v Speaker 1>was kind of it. So my friends were like, well,

0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:29.160
<v Speaker 1>do you want to take a hike? And we drove

0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:31.560
<v Speaker 1>out to Seneca Rocks, which is a very beautiful hike,

0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:33.920
<v Speaker 1>and I'm talking to my friends. It's sort of single

0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:36.600
<v Speaker 1>track path around the side of this mountain and there's

0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:39.560
<v Speaker 1>a rock over this area and I stepped over and

0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 1>like stretched my leg out and went on and my

0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.080
<v Speaker 1>friend behind me was like, dude, and I looked down

0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:46.320
<v Speaker 1>and was straight down like I It was like an

0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.800
<v Speaker 1>optical illusion where the rock I was stepping over went

0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:52.760
<v Speaker 1>to almost nowhere. WHOA and I had to like it

0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:54.960
<v Speaker 1>was crazy. I basically my left hand was on the

0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:58.240
<v Speaker 1>rocks and I had to pull myself back and then like,

0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:01.240
<v Speaker 1>but that would have fallen. I don't know. I won't

0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:03.720
<v Speaker 1>overestimate it, but I'll say two hundred feet maybe three

0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.720
<v Speaker 1>hundred feet. Yeah, And it was the first. You know,

0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:08.360
<v Speaker 1>I've been in a couple of car accidents at that point,

0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:10.240
<v Speaker 1>so it was the first one that was My bad

0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:14.240
<v Speaker 1>decision almost cost me the whole enchilada. But I pulled

0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:16.280
<v Speaker 1>the enchilada back, and that's what it's all about.

0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:19.840
<v Speaker 2>Protecting enchilada back, folks. All right, I'm so excited to

0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:21.600
<v Speaker 2>share this story, Scott. Are you ready for it?

0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:23.120
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't be more ready.

0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:27.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god. I have to give all the credit

0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:33.840
<v Speaker 2>to the wonderful and delightful Hannah Walling for sending this in. Hannah,

0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:37.320
<v Speaker 2>you are awesome. Thank you so much. This was okay.

0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:42.280
<v Speaker 2>So I do believe that this article was first published

0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:48.680
<v Speaker 2>in the London Times, because this is a story from

0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:52.280
<v Speaker 2>nineteen ninety seven, and this is an article from nineteen

0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:54.760
<v Speaker 2>ninety seven. I've been looking and looking and looking for

0:15:54.800 --> 0:16:01.000
<v Speaker 2>the actual original article, and as far as I can tell,

0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:06.240
<v Speaker 2>this might be a reprint of it on the Independent,

0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:12.520
<v Speaker 2>and it's labeled just David Ironovich column from Friday, the

0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:16.280
<v Speaker 2>twenty fifth of July nineteen ninety seven, written by David Iranovich.

0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:19.800
<v Speaker 2>The best in the biz really good. And when you

0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:21.520
<v Speaker 2>read this see is the best in the biz. This

0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:26.600
<v Speaker 2>is like you realize that the quality of writing in

0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:31.000
<v Speaker 2>general and journalism in specific has gone downhill. This is

0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:34.880
<v Speaker 2>like excellent British writing in nineteen ninety seven.

0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Here it is y take me back, Okay.

0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:43.160
<v Speaker 2>Every evening for a year a computer programmer, Neil Simmons

0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:45.560
<v Speaker 2>would go down to the end of his garden in

0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:49.680
<v Speaker 2>stockin tigerhead Devin, I made that sound more German than

0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:53.400
<v Speaker 2>it was and call to the owls, and the owls

0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:56.680
<v Speaker 2>would call back. So intense and varied did these crepuscular

0:16:56.760 --> 0:17:01.000
<v Speaker 2>exchanges become that mister Simmons, an owl reader by hobby,

0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:05.440
<v Speaker 2>began to nurture hopes of finally discovering the hidden language

0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:11.159
<v Speaker 2>of owls. Wooo, hooted mister Simmons. Wooooo, replied the owl.

0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:14.399
<v Speaker 2>As it happens. At exactly the same time, Fred corn,

0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:17.240
<v Speaker 2>as a retired company director, was enjoying a very similar,

0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:20.639
<v Speaker 2>though slightly more passive twilight conversation with the owl at

0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:25.119
<v Speaker 2>the bottom of his garden. Woooooo when the owl mister

0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:28.880
<v Speaker 2>Corns would respond. For any two men to be spending

0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:33.639
<v Speaker 2>exactly the same evenings thus engaged may be considered mildly coincidental.

0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:36.639
<v Speaker 2>What lifts this tale beyond the normal, however, is that

0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:41.400
<v Speaker 2>mister Korns is also a resident of tiny stuck in Tiganhead. Indeed,

0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:45.679
<v Speaker 2>his garden in fact a butts onto that of mister Simmons,

0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:49.240
<v Speaker 2>and the obvious explanation of their shared experience would surely

0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:53.040
<v Speaker 2>be that they're one unaware of events next door, that

0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:55.679
<v Speaker 2>one unaware of events next door had been communicating with

0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:59.720
<v Speaker 2>the very same garrulous bird who had been so entertaining

0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:05.920
<v Speaker 2>the Unfortunately, this one owl, two men explanation was exploded

0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:09.360
<v Speaker 2>by a chance conversation between their wives, who met each

0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:12.399
<v Speaker 2>other in the driveway and began to chat. One recounted

0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:15.520
<v Speaker 2>how her lovable but eccentric spouse liked to hoot in

0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:19.320
<v Speaker 2>the garden before bed. The other reciprocated with tales of

0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:22.720
<v Speaker 2>how her own old feller liked nothing better than a

0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:27.160
<v Speaker 2>nice alfresco squawk before turning in. The two women looked

0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:29.800
<v Speaker 2>at each other. The men were called and the case

0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:32.840
<v Speaker 2>put to them, and each recorded an example of his

0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:36.840
<v Speaker 2>owl speak. In the end, they were left inescapably but

0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:41.920
<v Speaker 2>embarrassingly with the two men no owl theory. This will

0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:45.600
<v Speaker 2>have been particularly going for mister Simmons, who, as an expert,

0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:48.280
<v Speaker 2>will have known that some of his calls were what

0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:53.159
<v Speaker 2>shall we say, hoots of avian desire embarrassment. Aside, there

0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:56.280
<v Speaker 2>are I think, and then Aaron goes into a bunch

0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:57.520
<v Speaker 2>of different things.

0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:01.560
<v Speaker 1>It's so funny these grown men owling to each other

0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:05.080
<v Speaker 1>is just so fun And I hope they're best friends now.

0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:07.919
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's I really do thirty years later and

0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:10.600
<v Speaker 1>you're like, yeah, almost thirty years later and you're like,

0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:12.560
<v Speaker 1>I just hope you guys are best friends. That and

0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:14.199
<v Speaker 1>maybe when they're at the bar and one goes up

0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:15.520
<v Speaker 1>to order beers for the other one, he gives a

0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:17.160
<v Speaker 1>couple of hoots. The guy hoots right.

0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Be at for one year, going out every night and

0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:26.040
<v Speaker 2>just hooting at each other is so so funny to me.

0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:28.879
<v Speaker 1>Life before the internet, life before smartphones, you just had

0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:33.840
<v Speaker 1>to find entertainment on your own. Damn. That's so sweet. Though.

0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:40.880
<v Speaker 1>They both were enthusiastic. Yeah, and I wonder have said anything.

0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:43.199
<v Speaker 2>Oh, that's an interesting idea.

0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:47.240
<v Speaker 1>That's just let wives have just known and just let them.

0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Well. The thing is is that one guy was an

0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:53.320
<v Speaker 2>owl breeder, and so it was kind of like part

0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:56.680
<v Speaker 2>of his thing. So he was recording all of the conversations.

0:19:56.720 --> 0:20:00.359
<v Speaker 2>That's another thing. He recorded every hoot. He has like

0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:04.240
<v Speaker 2>a journal for a year of just another man's hoots

0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:05.560
<v Speaker 2>back at him in the night time.

0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:10.160
<v Speaker 1>I know, pre internet, pre smartphone. It was it awesome

0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:12.600
<v Speaker 1>or was it sad? It's up for you to decide.

0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:15.919
<v Speaker 1>My friend always made the joke because another when I

0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:19.640
<v Speaker 1>was waiting tables. Around the time you and I left

0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:23.040
<v Speaker 1>New York, they started to get phone access or Wi

0:20:23.040 --> 0:20:25.439
<v Speaker 1>Fi underground in the subways. But when you and I

0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:28.120
<v Speaker 1>lived there, yeah, no phones. It was like you lost

0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:31.439
<v Speaker 1>all reception and it was peace and trying lightly. It

0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:33.640
<v Speaker 1>was I read so many books on the f train,

0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:37.240
<v Speaker 1>It's unthinkable. And then when I got back, I was like, oh,

0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:40.000
<v Speaker 1>this is crazy, and another person's like, I hate it.

0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:42.840
<v Speaker 1>I hate that everybody's looking down on their phones and

0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:46.800
<v Speaker 1>out of each other. My friend Jessica was said, yeah,

0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:49.720
<v Speaker 1>but what was it before? Before when you read newspapers,

0:20:49.760 --> 0:20:51.960
<v Speaker 1>you would open a full newspaper. It was like building

0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:55.080
<v Speaker 1>a wall in front of your face. Yeah, she's so right. Yeah,

0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:57.240
<v Speaker 1>looking down on your phone, you can kind of have

0:20:57.480 --> 0:21:00.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, three hundred and fifty degrees a vision.

0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:03.679
<v Speaker 1>But when you open a newspaper like not today, rest

0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:06.000
<v Speaker 1>of this train, and then just build a little house

0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:08.520
<v Speaker 1>around your face. No, it is better.

0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:11.360
<v Speaker 2>I know that. I always there's a meme out there

0:21:11.400 --> 0:21:15.880
<v Speaker 2>about like, oh, the world was so much better before phones.

0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:19.240
<v Speaker 2>And then it's just a packed train with every man

0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:21.400
<v Speaker 2>with a newspaper in front of his face.

0:21:21.920 --> 0:21:26.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, just vibing, just everybody's vibe being on a deeper emotional,

0:21:26.200 --> 0:21:27.040
<v Speaker 1>spiritual level.

0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Don't worry, we'll be able to build that wall again soon.

0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:34.600
<v Speaker 2>Once the VR headsets happen. Guys, there, it's gonna be

0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:37.359
<v Speaker 2>a new chank. There's gonna be a new chink in

0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:40.879
<v Speaker 2>the dystopia future that we have in they have in

0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:44.159
<v Speaker 2>store for us, where everybody's just walking around with VR headsets.

0:21:44.680 --> 0:21:47.480
<v Speaker 1>I know the introverts will rejoice. They'll just have their

0:21:47.520 --> 0:21:50.280
<v Speaker 1>own paradise. They'll just have their own living room on

0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:52.639
<v Speaker 1>their headsets, so no matter where they are, they're just

0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:55.000
<v Speaker 1>in their safe space, and God bless them, they need it.

0:21:55.520 --> 0:21:59.679
<v Speaker 1>Them take care. That's a great I mean god, But okay,

0:21:59.760 --> 0:22:03.200
<v Speaker 1>So if Lauren was going out every night and doing

0:22:03.240 --> 0:22:05.800
<v Speaker 1>bird calls and then you later found out that somebody

0:22:05.800 --> 0:22:09.080
<v Speaker 1>two streets over was responding, would you tell her? I

0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:10.200
<v Speaker 1>guess you would, right.

0:22:10.320 --> 0:22:13.439
<v Speaker 2>I guess, So it's a I do agree with you

0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:15.320
<v Speaker 2>that it is a question though.

0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, right, they loved it.

0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:23.480
<v Speaker 2>I think the It sounds like the wives like immediately

0:22:23.480 --> 0:22:26.960
<v Speaker 2>called their husbands over. So it was like immediately, I

0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:30.840
<v Speaker 2>think it was just like you fucking dumb son of

0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:31.480
<v Speaker 2>a bitch.

0:22:32.480 --> 0:22:34.160
<v Speaker 1>If it was that that, I kind of like it.

0:22:34.640 --> 0:22:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Hey, idiots, get over your idiots.

0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:40.960
<v Speaker 1>It would also be great if the tale was that

0:22:41.040 --> 0:22:44.160
<v Speaker 1>those two men hated each other for twenty years prior

0:22:44.240 --> 0:22:47.240
<v Speaker 1>to this, like that, yes, never find common ground. One

0:22:47.280 --> 0:22:50.439
<v Speaker 1>painted their door red, the other's mailbox was shaped like

0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:54.000
<v Speaker 1>a manatee. They couldn't stand each other, and then slowly

0:22:54.080 --> 0:22:56.280
<v Speaker 1>they fall in love from hooting at each other for

0:22:56.359 --> 0:22:58.760
<v Speaker 1>over a year. There is that nicer way to think

0:22:58.760 --> 0:22:59.040
<v Speaker 1>of it.

0:22:59.359 --> 0:23:00.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it is an the way to think of it,

0:23:00.760 --> 0:23:03.600
<v Speaker 2>but it is very common, I especially in nineteen ninety six,

0:23:05.040 --> 0:23:06.960
<v Speaker 2>to just have a family. Wheers like, we don't get

0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:10.400
<v Speaker 2>divorced and so instead we live with a person we

0:23:10.560 --> 0:23:17.280
<v Speaker 2>revile every second we revile them.

0:23:18.200 --> 0:23:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there's some of that. I mean, there's some of that. Okay,

0:25:48.240 --> 0:25:51.199
<v Speaker 1>its first ever chugging competition, where you would win by

0:25:51.280 --> 0:25:54.480
<v Speaker 1>chugging a twenty four ounce glass of their ranch dressing.

0:25:56.640 --> 0:26:00.440
<v Speaker 2>So twenty four ounces, so like one ounces like a

0:26:01.240 --> 0:26:04.960
<v Speaker 2>table a pound. One ounce is a tablespoon though.

0:26:04.800 --> 0:26:09.199
<v Speaker 1>Around sure a shot glass, yeah yeah, so small shot glass,

0:26:09.320 --> 0:26:10.000
<v Speaker 1>So that's.

0:26:09.840 --> 0:26:13.120
<v Speaker 2>Probably I'm just trying to figure out what ranch comes

0:26:13.119 --> 0:26:14.200
<v Speaker 2>in clocks in a like.

0:26:16.040 --> 0:26:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Pint glass is sixteen ounces. Yeah, so it's one and

0:26:21.080 --> 0:26:24.440
<v Speaker 1>a half pint glasses in ten seconds of ranch dressing.

0:26:24.920 --> 0:26:27.280
<v Speaker 2>It's also all of your calories for the day. It's

0:26:27.280 --> 0:26:31.720
<v Speaker 2>probably like two thousand and four hundred right there.

0:26:32.400 --> 0:26:35.600
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty crazy. It only took ten seconds for competitor

0:26:35.760 --> 0:26:38.359
<v Speaker 1>zach Orvis to chug all twenty four ounces of the

0:26:38.440 --> 0:26:40.240
<v Speaker 1>ranch and take home the win. When asked how he

0:26:40.320 --> 0:26:43.200
<v Speaker 1>consumes so much ramp so quickly, Orvis said, I've seen

0:26:43.240 --> 0:26:46.480
<v Speaker 1>people pour that amount that amount on their salads, So

0:26:46.560 --> 0:26:47.520
<v Speaker 1>what's the difference.

0:26:48.240 --> 0:26:51.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's got a line, he's got a line

0:26:51.400 --> 0:26:51.679
<v Speaker 2>for it.

0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:55.240
<v Speaker 1>He's so nonchalant about That's also not an answer. He

0:26:55.280 --> 0:26:57.440
<v Speaker 1>could have said like, oh, I took a deep breath

0:26:57.480 --> 0:26:59.120
<v Speaker 1>and I didn't eat this morning, or I ate lots

0:26:59.119 --> 0:27:01.240
<v Speaker 1>of iceberg lettuce. I mean a little salad in my belly.

0:27:01.480 --> 0:27:04.840
<v Speaker 1>But no. Also in western Michigan, if you're putting twenty

0:27:04.840 --> 0:27:08.480
<v Speaker 1>four ounces of ranch on your salad, sign me up.

0:27:09.000 --> 0:27:11.600

<v Speaker 1>the competitors actually next year, if you want to, if

0:27:38.720 --> 0:27:41.040
<v Speaker 1>you get in on this will send you Banana's merchandise

0:27:41.119 --> 0:27:43.920
<v Speaker 1>to compete as a team Bananamal and we hope you

0:27:44.000 --> 0:27:46.240
<v Speaker 1>at least finish the twenty four ounces.

0:27:48.119 --> 0:27:50.959
<v Speaker 2>Or go to the violence Fueled Rooster and have a

0:27:51.000 --> 0:27:51.680
<v Speaker 2>great time.

0:27:53.400 --> 0:27:55.919
<v Speaker 1>That's right, it's just down the street at the Serial

0:27:56.160 --> 0:28:00.359
<v Speaker 1>Killer Chicken Shack. Have fun. One of them. One of

0:28:00.359 --> 0:28:03.360
<v Speaker 1>the competitors was a ten year old named Jordan Petterley.

0:28:03.800 --> 0:28:06.200
<v Speaker 1>All Petterley had to say was I'm a kid. I'm

0:28:06.240 --> 0:28:07.760
<v Speaker 1>the youngest person here. Good luck.

0:28:09.560 --> 0:28:11.919
<v Speaker 2>Also, he should have said, I'm a kid. I'm the

0:28:11.960 --> 0:28:13.720
<v Speaker 2>only one who should be doing this.

0:28:14.040 --> 0:28:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I could actually digest this. I'll be hungry in

0:28:16.840 --> 0:28:21.520
<v Speaker 1>two hours. One owner, Randy Roost, that's what it's called

0:28:21.680 --> 0:28:25.720
<v Speaker 1>rus DN, I think, came prepared for the big day,

0:28:25.760 --> 0:28:29.960
<v Speaker 1>making sure there were buckets by every competitor justin case,

0:28:30.680 --> 0:28:34.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, you'd get it. Rust had his competitor's sign

0:28:34.280 --> 0:28:37.600
<v Speaker 1>a waiver. How much more Midwest can you get than

0:28:37.720 --> 0:28:43.960
<v Speaker 1>guzzling ranch dressing, Bruce said, Still, rus clearly underestimated orvis.

0:28:44.000 --> 0:28:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel sick at all. It's just ranch dressing,

0:28:46.240 --> 0:28:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Orbis said moments after winning. Moments after winning, I don't

0:28:50.400 --> 0:28:51.400
<v Speaker 1>feel sick at all. It's just.

0:28:53.440 --> 0:28:57.800
<v Speaker 2>Also, you know what, I I this might be weird,

0:28:58.240 --> 0:29:01.400
<v Speaker 2>but I don't think of Michigan as the Midwest. For

0:29:01.440 --> 0:29:05.080
<v Speaker 2>some reason, I think of Wisconsin as the Midwest. I

0:29:05.080 --> 0:29:07.480
<v Speaker 2>think of Minnesota's the with Midwest. I think of Ohio

0:29:07.640 --> 0:29:10.920
<v Speaker 2>as the Midwest. But for some reason, I simply do

0:29:11.040 --> 0:29:14.240
<v Speaker 2>not take Michigan. I feel like Michigan has a different

0:29:14.400 --> 0:29:18.280
<v Speaker 2>character than the rest of the Midwest. I feel like,

0:29:18.400 --> 0:29:19.600
<v Speaker 2>I really do feel that.

0:29:20.360 --> 0:29:23.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean the geographically, I think there could not be

0:29:23.800 --> 0:29:26.080
<v Speaker 1>more smack dab in the middle the Midwest. But I

0:29:26.120 --> 0:29:28.520
<v Speaker 1>know what you're saying, there's something about Michigan.

0:29:28.920 --> 0:29:31.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's something about Michigan. Maybe it's because they're so

0:29:31.720 --> 0:29:34.880
<v Speaker 2>far north. The mid means the mid it's got to

0:29:34.920 --> 0:29:36.400
<v Speaker 2>be in the center, you know.

0:29:37.400 --> 0:29:39.840
<v Speaker 1>But there we need a new region up there. That's

0:29:39.840 --> 0:29:43.200
<v Speaker 1>what we need. We have a new region. Just cut

0:29:43.280 --> 0:29:46.480
<v Speaker 1>the Dakotas out there. The Dakota's are just the Dakotas

0:29:46.520 --> 0:29:50.600
<v Speaker 1>they can They probably very naturally a beautiful place. Yeah, nobody.

0:29:50.680 --> 0:29:52.840
<v Speaker 1>When you meet somebody from one of the Dakota's, it

0:29:52.960 --> 0:29:58.400
<v Speaker 1>is like meeting somebody from the moon. It's so fascinating.

0:29:58.600 --> 0:30:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Because there's five there's five people who live there.

0:30:01.720 --> 0:30:01.960
<v Speaker 3>I know.

0:30:02.400 --> 0:30:04.680
<v Speaker 1>When I was at UMass, I used to go to

0:30:04.720 --> 0:30:07.280
<v Speaker 1>all the Hasakasa meetings all like the I was just

0:30:07.320 --> 0:30:09.200
<v Speaker 1>friends with the Black student Union. I would just go

0:30:09.240 --> 0:30:11.200
<v Speaker 1>those meetings that sit there. They all thought I was fun.

0:30:11.200 --> 0:30:14.720
<v Speaker 1>So they were like, we don't care. And there's this

0:30:14.760 --> 0:30:17.520
<v Speaker 1>one kid that was like, yo, Scottie, I got into

0:30:17.560 --> 0:30:19.880
<v Speaker 1>grad school. I'm going for free. I wasn't aware he's

0:30:19.920 --> 0:30:22.840
<v Speaker 1>like North Dakota State. I was like, congratulations. He goes, yeah,

0:30:22.840 --> 0:30:26.080
<v Speaker 1>they're just giving scholarships any brown kid, and I go, man,

0:30:26.200 --> 0:30:28.080
<v Speaker 1>good luck, but he did. He was like I wasn't

0:30:28.080 --> 0:30:29.920
<v Speaker 1>even a good student. I had like a two point seven,

0:30:29.920 --> 0:30:33.240
<v Speaker 1>but they just accepted me. And I'm like, this is

0:30:33.320 --> 0:30:36.960
<v Speaker 1>one strategy, just zero diversity. And they're like, send us

0:30:37.000 --> 0:30:39.840
<v Speaker 1>you're not white people, and they get a full ride

0:30:39.840 --> 0:30:43.160
<v Speaker 1>for grad school. I hope that guy turned out alive.

0:30:44.120 --> 0:30:46.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel sick at all. It's just ranch dressing

0:30:46.320 --> 0:30:49.680
<v Speaker 1>or visaid moments after winning the competition. The prize sought

0:30:49.720 --> 0:30:54.840
<v Speaker 1>after all twelve competitions was a one hundred dollars a

0:30:54.880 --> 0:30:56.880
<v Speaker 1>gift card and a free order of All you can

0:30:56.920 --> 0:30:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Eat wings every week until the spring of twenty twenty five,

0:31:00.080 --> 0:31:03.960
<v Speaker 1>pretty good. Oh, not bad, that's pretty good.

0:31:04.400 --> 0:31:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Wow. It also as if heat this guy needs any.

0:31:09.800 --> 0:31:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Orvis orvis Or.

0:31:12.680 --> 0:31:17.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm worried about Orvis' health, is what I'm saying, Zach Orvis.

0:31:17.840 --> 0:31:20.480
<v Speaker 1>They might live to regret that weekly all you can

0:31:20.480 --> 0:31:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Eat wings zach Orbs rolls through.

0:31:22.480 --> 0:31:25.200
<v Speaker 2>That's tough. That's tough because it's it's a tempting offer.

0:31:25.720 --> 0:31:30.160
<v Speaker 2>It is a tempting offer to just know Thursdays are covered.

0:31:31.160 --> 0:31:34.840
<v Speaker 2>I know you could go in start earlier and earlier

0:31:35.080 --> 0:31:38.840
<v Speaker 2>two pm. It's it's all you can eat until clothes.

0:31:39.080 --> 0:31:41.880
<v Speaker 1>But Randy Roost, the Randy rust, the owner of the

0:31:41.880 --> 0:31:45.960
<v Speaker 1>harmful Rooster, this guy gets it. If you're first of all,

0:31:46.000 --> 0:31:49.280
<v Speaker 1>it took ten seconds. It's it is a disgusting amount

0:31:49.280 --> 0:31:52.960
<v Speaker 1>of ranch dressing. But that doesn't warrant one thousand dollars.

0:31:53.120 --> 0:31:54.800
<v Speaker 2>No, No, this is the.

0:31:54.800 --> 0:31:59.680
<v Speaker 1>Correct gift card. And until spring, not even a date.

0:32:00.520 --> 0:32:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Could be till the spring, could be April, could be.

0:32:03.280 --> 0:32:06.640
<v Speaker 2>May, and also not a full year. Because he's he's

0:32:06.720 --> 0:32:08.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of figured it out. He's like, how much does

0:32:08.400 --> 0:32:09.120
<v Speaker 2>this guy eat?

0:32:09.920 --> 0:32:12.880
<v Speaker 1>So we're talking max sixteen weeks of All you can

0:32:12.880 --> 0:32:16.240
<v Speaker 1>Eat Wings max and one hundred bucks. Maybe maybe that

0:32:16.280 --> 0:32:18.280
<v Speaker 1>can't show up one week, so he loses that. This

0:32:18.320 --> 0:32:23.440
<v Speaker 1>is a perfectly what's the word. I'm trying to say,

0:32:23.480 --> 0:32:29.760
<v Speaker 1>it's the perfect pairing. It's just great. Randy Ruster runs

0:32:29.760 --> 0:32:32.920
<v Speaker 1>a tight ship. And it's safe to say that these

0:32:32.920 --> 0:32:35.360
<v Speaker 1>competitors were ready to take on the ranch Orvis just

0:32:35.400 --> 0:32:38.200
<v Speaker 1>slammed it better than the rest. That's good writing. Rus

0:32:38.200 --> 0:32:40.400
<v Speaker 1>tells me that he is hopeful that this year will

0:32:40.440 --> 0:32:43.760
<v Speaker 1>be the first of many for this ranch chugging competition

0:32:44.000 --> 0:32:46.720
<v Speaker 1>again Western Michigan Ban Animals. If you get on that

0:32:46.760 --> 0:32:49.280
<v Speaker 1>list next year, we will send you a shirt and

0:32:49.320 --> 0:32:52.440
<v Speaker 1>a hat, and we will cheer you on, we'll shout

0:32:52.480 --> 0:32:56.280
<v Speaker 1>you out. We want somebody to win the ranch chugging competition.

0:32:56.600 --> 0:32:58.000
<v Speaker 1>You know what, harmful rooster.

0:32:58.440 --> 0:33:02.280
<v Speaker 2>I just realized that it. This is a competition where

0:33:02.400 --> 0:33:06.080
<v Speaker 2>if you're not first, and if you don't win, you

0:33:06.200 --> 0:33:12.160
<v Speaker 2>lose so hard because you've just chugged's say.

0:33:12.040 --> 0:33:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Twenty four hours a ranch.

0:33:14.440 --> 0:33:18.440
<v Speaker 2>But slightly slower than another person. You still chug twenty

0:33:18.440 --> 0:33:21.080
<v Speaker 2>four hours. You still did it. You still drag that

0:33:21.240 --> 0:33:21.920
<v Speaker 2>much ranch.

0:33:22.400 --> 0:33:26.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's in there, it's it's in there, and it's

0:33:26.720 --> 0:33:29.360
<v Speaker 1>only coming out. One of two ways. So good luck

0:33:29.400 --> 0:33:32.120
<v Speaker 1>and good luck to the the partners of these people

0:33:32.120 --> 0:33:34.480
<v Speaker 1>who had to sleep next to the person just sweating

0:33:34.520 --> 0:33:37.080
<v Speaker 1>out a pound and a half of ranch for probably

0:33:37.120 --> 0:33:41.400
<v Speaker 1>forty eight hours. It's yeah, yeah, but I do love

0:33:41.480 --> 0:33:43.920
<v Speaker 1>the spirit and I love papping it at twelve people,

0:33:44.200 --> 0:33:49.040
<v Speaker 1>and I do love the exactly correct prize for this competition,

0:33:49.080 --> 0:33:50.600
<v Speaker 1>and I hope next year Bananama wins it.

0:33:51.080 --> 0:33:53.720

<v Speaker 1>a whole different stratus field podcast that we can keep

<v Speaker 1>on keeping on. Here.

0:38:45.200 --> 0:38:48.400
<v Speaker 2>It is Japanese Woman's Subduced Convenience Store Thief. This was

0:38:48.440 --> 0:39:03.640
<v Speaker 2>in Oh, Japan Today, written by Casey Basil Oh.

0:39:00.120 --> 0:39:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Very herbaceous writing. We love her.

0:39:02.440 --> 0:39:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Actually it might be Casey Bazil. I don't know. This

0:39:06.120 --> 0:39:09.160
<v Speaker 2>was an October fourth. Someone sent this in an big

0:39:09.239 --> 0:39:12.479
<v Speaker 2>I really apologized, guys, that's okay. It was a long

0:39:12.560 --> 0:39:17.799
<v Speaker 2>time ago. I mean it was October fourth, and I've

0:39:17.800 --> 0:39:20.239
<v Speaker 2>been saving it and moving it and trying to keep

0:39:20.280 --> 0:39:22.120
<v Speaker 2>doing it, and I keep not doing it, but now

0:39:22.120 --> 0:39:24.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing it here. It is like countless other people.

0:39:24.880 --> 0:39:28.640
<v Speaker 2>In Japan, twenty three year old Karen Rio walked into

0:39:28.640 --> 0:39:30.680
<v Speaker 2>a convenience store to do some shopping on the night

0:39:30.680 --> 0:39:33.560
<v Speaker 2>of September sixteenth, but while it's unclear for Yo ever

0:39:33.640 --> 0:39:36.040
<v Speaker 2>obtained what she'd got in the store in search of

0:39:36.480 --> 0:39:39.880
<v Speaker 2>while she was there, she decided to dispense some justice.

0:39:40.280 --> 0:39:43.800
<v Speaker 2>The incident occurred shortly before eight pm in the shitty

0:39:43.840 --> 0:39:47.200
<v Speaker 2>neighborhood that is its Shi Tte. I don't know how

0:39:47.280 --> 0:39:51.360
<v Speaker 2>shity shitty, It sounds like shitty neighborhood of the city

0:39:51.440 --> 0:39:57.120
<v Speaker 2>of Yokohama's Surrumi ward, slightly south of Tokyo. While Rio

0:39:57.320 --> 0:40:00.279
<v Speaker 2>was at the store, a man attempted to shop lift

0:40:00.280 --> 0:40:02.759
<v Speaker 2>a six pack of beer, and when he attempted to flee,

0:40:02.800 --> 0:40:06.600
<v Speaker 2>a clerk confronted him, two becoming entangled near the store's exit.

0:40:07.120 --> 0:40:10.719
<v Speaker 2>Noticing the altercation, Rio stepped in and, after ensnaring the

0:40:10.760 --> 0:40:14.040
<v Speaker 2>man's legs, brought him to the ground and put him

0:40:14.040 --> 0:40:17.920
<v Speaker 2>in a headlock. Uh The man attempted to break free

0:40:17.960 --> 0:40:20.759
<v Speaker 2>by biting Rio on her left forearm. With enough force.

0:40:20.800 --> 0:40:23.120
<v Speaker 2>The two weeks later, there are still visible teethmarks on

0:40:23.160 --> 0:40:26.480
<v Speaker 2>her skin. Rio's grippelled fast, though, and she kept the

0:40:26.520 --> 0:40:28.960
<v Speaker 2>man subdued until the police were summoned and arrived on

0:40:29.000 --> 0:40:31.399
<v Speaker 2>the scene, where he was placed under arrest. As an

0:40:31.440 --> 0:40:36.480
<v Speaker 2>office worker who works in Serumi, Rio's daily job does

0:40:36.520 --> 0:40:40.600
<v Speaker 2>not involve subduing criminals, so following the incident, some wondered

0:40:40.640 --> 0:40:43.560
<v Speaker 2>if maybe she has experience in martial arts training. But

0:40:43.600 --> 0:40:46.440
<v Speaker 2>that's not part of her background either. I've never done

0:40:46.520 --> 0:40:50.120
<v Speaker 2>martial arts. I took tea ceremony lessons, she says, instead

0:40:50.200 --> 0:40:53.520
<v Speaker 2>crediting a love of anime for her headlock technique. I

0:40:53.640 --> 0:40:56.520
<v Speaker 2>like anime, so I just sort of imitated what I've

0:40:56.560 --> 0:40:57.040
<v Speaker 2>seen in it.

0:40:59.080 --> 0:40:59.480
<v Speaker 3>I love it.

0:40:59.520 --> 0:41:01.960
<v Speaker 2>At the time time, I wasn't scared. It felt like

0:41:02.000 --> 0:41:04.719
<v Speaker 2>my body was just moving on its own, Rio recalls,

0:41:04.760 --> 0:41:07.520
<v Speaker 2>adding that it wasn't until after the incident that she

0:41:07.560 --> 0:41:09.560
<v Speaker 2>stopped to think about the possibility that the man could

0:41:09.560 --> 0:41:12.520
<v Speaker 2>have had a knife or been otherwise armed. It's lightly

0:41:12.600 --> 0:41:15.719
<v Speaker 2>for that reason that, even as a representative for the

0:41:15.800 --> 0:41:19.680
<v Speaker 2>to Surrey Police Precinct praised her courage, he advised others

0:41:19.680 --> 0:41:24.920
<v Speaker 2>who might witness crime to prioritarize, to prioritize, to avoid

0:41:24.960 --> 0:41:27.680
<v Speaker 2>putting themselves at undue risk and contact the Police's.

0:41:28.800 --> 0:41:30.640
<v Speaker 1>That's right, don't don't do it.

0:41:30.680 --> 0:41:33.520
<v Speaker 2>If you don't, I mean, but how many times it's like.

0:41:33.480 --> 0:41:37.600
<v Speaker 1>A gunless society. It's so different over there, it's so different.

0:41:37.800 --> 0:41:41.440
<v Speaker 2>But how many times have you seen in your mind

0:41:41.760 --> 0:41:44.879
<v Speaker 2>the thing you were gonna do and then gone and

0:41:44.960 --> 0:41:47.720
<v Speaker 2>did something radically different?

0:41:48.800 --> 0:41:53.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean every single time. When you know, we at

0:41:53.800 --> 0:41:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Sacred Heart in Glendon, Maryland, when we had like monthly

0:41:56.840 --> 0:41:59.279
<v Speaker 1>churches or whatever we had to go to mass, I

0:41:59.320 --> 0:42:02.959
<v Speaker 1>would just sit there and think about if terrorists broke

0:42:03.040 --> 0:42:05.879
<v Speaker 1>into this, how would I hide? Where would I hide here?

0:42:06.120 --> 0:42:08.239
<v Speaker 1>Like instantly go under the pew and crawl over here,

0:42:08.280 --> 0:42:10.719
<v Speaker 1>and then like go behind the baptismal phone. Then I'd

0:42:10.760 --> 0:42:12.920
<v Speaker 1>climb up the back of the giant organ pipes and

0:42:12.960 --> 0:42:14.600
<v Speaker 1>get up it, and like I would have a whole

0:42:14.640 --> 0:42:17.400
<v Speaker 1>battle plan. What was I going to do? I was

0:42:17.440 --> 0:42:20.160
<v Speaker 1>like ten years old, Yeah, but I'd seen the movie

0:42:20.239 --> 0:42:25.239
<v Speaker 1>Toy Soldiers, which is an underrated nineties hit, and yeah,

0:42:25.239 --> 0:42:28.120
<v Speaker 1>in my head, I had a whole escape route that

0:42:28.239 --> 0:42:29.960
<v Speaker 1>I was going to call nine one one then go

0:42:30.000 --> 0:42:34.840
<v Speaker 1>back in and start rescuing people. Like what am I talking? Asked?

0:42:34.880 --> 0:42:37.080
<v Speaker 1>I would have stood up too fast and gotten nosebleed,

0:42:37.120 --> 0:42:39.880
<v Speaker 1>farted and passed out. Like that's at best.

0:42:40.040 --> 0:42:44.120
<v Speaker 2>You do all. I at least always wonder about those situations,

0:42:44.200 --> 0:42:47.839
<v Speaker 2>like do you do? Do I instinctually just do the

0:42:47.840 --> 0:42:51.520
<v Speaker 2>thing that needs to be done? And I hope I do,

0:42:51.719 --> 0:42:54.560
<v Speaker 2>But honestly, you just don't know until you're in that situation, right,

0:42:54.880 --> 0:42:58.520
<v Speaker 2>I know, I mean you maybe maybe maybe it works

0:42:58.560 --> 0:43:02.000
<v Speaker 2>to prime yourself to like dood do the good right thing,

0:43:02.200 --> 0:43:05.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, to go in and do help the person

0:43:05.080 --> 0:43:06.000
<v Speaker 2>instead of run away.

0:43:06.680 --> 0:43:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, definitely have that in mind. But yes, it's but

0:43:10.480 --> 0:43:12.520
<v Speaker 1>what are you really going to do? It's over there. Also,

0:43:12.680 --> 0:43:15.759
<v Speaker 1>let's be real, like if somebody's smaller than me, my

0:43:15.880 --> 0:43:19.760
<v Speaker 1>confidence goes way up. If somebody's my slides are bigger, boy,

0:43:19.960 --> 0:43:24.320
<v Speaker 1>do I wimp out in a real hurry? But everybody

0:43:24.360 --> 0:43:28.480
<v Speaker 1>will just run? I mean, I'm a runner, let's face it.

0:43:28.480 --> 0:43:30.839
<v Speaker 1>It's interesting. I had a college professor and I can't

0:43:30.840 --> 0:43:32.960
<v Speaker 1>even remember the class. It was a communication class, I

0:43:33.040 --> 0:43:35.920
<v Speaker 1>know that, but he was like, raise your hands if

0:43:35.960 --> 0:43:38.400
<v Speaker 1>you know what the inside of an emergency room looks

0:43:38.440 --> 0:43:40.520
<v Speaker 1>like and he's like, keep them up if you've ever

0:43:40.560 --> 0:43:43.320
<v Speaker 1>been in an emergency room, and like ninety five percent

0:43:43.440 --> 0:43:45.399
<v Speaker 1>of the college kids went down, and there's like, raise

0:43:45.400 --> 0:43:46.680
<v Speaker 1>your hand if you know what the inside of a

0:43:46.719 --> 0:43:48.640
<v Speaker 1>courtroom looks like, and leave your hands up if you've

0:43:48.640 --> 0:43:50.560
<v Speaker 1>ever inside of court room, and like two hands state up,

0:43:50.880 --> 0:43:52.600
<v Speaker 1>and he kept doing it. It's like if you and

0:43:52.600 --> 0:43:54.480
<v Speaker 1>then he was like, if you think you know how

0:43:54.520 --> 0:43:58.359
<v Speaker 1>to load and fire a gun, raise your hand. And

0:43:58.400 --> 0:44:01.400
<v Speaker 1>he was like everything you think you know is because

0:44:01.440 --> 0:44:03.799
<v Speaker 1>TV taught you what this looks like and how it

0:44:03.920 --> 0:44:07.880
<v Speaker 1>is or movies. And it blew my mind at eighteen

0:44:07.920 --> 0:44:12.000
<v Speaker 1>because I was like, yeah, everything I think I understand about, Yeah,

0:44:12.560 --> 0:44:14.880
<v Speaker 1>what the inside of the White House looks like? What

0:44:15.719 --> 0:44:18.280
<v Speaker 1>I hadn't been on an international flight, like even getting

0:44:18.320 --> 0:44:20.080
<v Speaker 1>food on an airplane, I've never seen that, but I'd

0:44:20.080 --> 0:44:23.479
<v Speaker 1>seen on so many movies. It is crazy how much

0:44:23.600 --> 0:44:26.520
<v Speaker 1>knowledge we all have because of TV and movies that

0:44:26.600 --> 0:44:28.880
<v Speaker 1>you would never admit, Oh, I don't know what the

0:44:28.880 --> 0:44:29.839
<v Speaker 1>fuck I'm talking about.

0:44:30.040 --> 0:44:33.879
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, and also intimate knowledge, intimate knowledge.

0:44:33.520 --> 0:44:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Of what it looks like.

0:44:34.520 --> 0:44:39.239
<v Speaker 2>Right, it would be really funny if the like there

0:44:40.000 --> 0:44:42.960
<v Speaker 2>wasn't actually an oval office, like not a real one,

0:44:43.080 --> 0:44:44.359
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean. It would be so funny

0:44:44.400 --> 0:44:48.200
<v Speaker 2>if if the President's office was just kind of another roub.

0:44:48.719 --> 0:44:50.479
<v Speaker 2>He's like, well, this is where I spend all my time.

0:44:51.160 --> 0:44:53.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I think sometimes when I go to zoos now,

0:44:53.920 --> 0:44:55.719
<v Speaker 1>like San Diego Zoo or whatever, and I see an

0:44:55.760 --> 0:44:57.520
<v Speaker 1>animal and I realize I've seen it on Planet or

0:44:57.520 --> 0:44:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Earth or Blue Planet or all the things I've watched

0:45:00.080 --> 0:45:03.920
<v Speaker 1>for the last forty years, It's like sometimes I'm like, oh, yeah,

0:45:04.040 --> 0:45:06.200
<v Speaker 1>I know exactly what this is, but it's the first

0:45:06.239 --> 0:45:09.839
<v Speaker 1>time you see the real McCoy, and that is it's

0:45:09.960 --> 0:45:12.680
<v Speaker 1>just weird our understanding. I've never been to Africa. I've

0:45:12.719 --> 0:45:14.560
<v Speaker 1>never been any countries in Africa, and I feel like

0:45:14.600 --> 0:45:16.560
<v Speaker 1>I could really tell you about so far As in

0:45:16.640 --> 0:45:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Kenya and what South Africa looks like from paragliding, and

0:45:19.800 --> 0:45:22.080
<v Speaker 1>just walk you through Egypt. I could just give you

0:45:22.120 --> 0:45:26.000
<v Speaker 1>a perfect tour of Egypt. And I've never been and

0:45:26.080 --> 0:45:29.600
<v Speaker 1>we're close to Africa. I know what the lemurs are

0:45:29.680 --> 0:45:30.719
<v Speaker 1>doing in Madagascar.

0:45:31.520 --> 0:45:34.560
<v Speaker 2>They're standing up, they're looking around. They can't find the

0:45:34.600 --> 0:45:35.480
<v Speaker 2>thing they're looking for.

0:45:36.120 --> 0:45:39.080
<v Speaker 1>If I have told this I'm so sorry. But my

0:45:39.280 --> 0:45:43.000
<v Speaker 1>friend Dell grew up in Manhattan, and Dell, he was

0:45:43.000 --> 0:45:47.080
<v Speaker 1>a great dude, is a great dude, but he is.

0:45:48.440 --> 0:45:51.600
<v Speaker 1>He's a black guy who went to school in Upper

0:45:51.760 --> 0:45:55.120
<v Speaker 1>or West Side Manhattan and as a school field trip,

0:45:55.160 --> 0:45:57.680
<v Speaker 1>they bust all the kids out to where in the

0:45:57.719 --> 0:46:01.080
<v Speaker 1>world is Carmen San Diego? The the hit game show

0:46:01.120 --> 0:46:04.120
<v Speaker 1>for kids and after school highlight show in the nineties,

0:46:04.320 --> 0:46:07.680
<v Speaker 1>and he advanced and they gave him the continent of

0:46:07.719 --> 0:46:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Africa and the way that the final round, if you won,

0:46:12.000 --> 0:46:14.560
<v Speaker 1>they would say, here's the United States, and they would

0:46:14.560 --> 0:46:16.640
<v Speaker 1>go Tennessee and you had to put like a flag

0:46:16.680 --> 0:46:18.880
<v Speaker 1>thing and had a light on it, and if you

0:46:18.880 --> 0:46:20.640
<v Speaker 1>got it right, you moved on. You got five of

0:46:20.680 --> 0:46:22.680
<v Speaker 1>them or whatever ten of them you won for the day.

0:46:23.120 --> 0:46:26.200
<v Speaker 1>And I know they they were prejudiced. I know they

0:46:26.200 --> 0:46:29.160
<v Speaker 1>gave del Africa because he was a black kid, really

0:46:29.320 --> 0:46:31.200
<v Speaker 1>and he did not get one right.

0:46:31.280 --> 0:46:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but he's confusing.

0:46:34.120 --> 0:46:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, large air so hard because they didn't give him

0:46:37.120 --> 0:46:40.759
<v Speaker 1>South Africa start with a layout the southernmost country and

0:46:40.840 --> 0:46:45.279
<v Speaker 1>this poor kid is running around on TV just biffing it.

0:46:45.480 --> 0:46:49.120
<v Speaker 1>So but then you go, yeah, if they if I

0:46:49.160 --> 0:46:51.600
<v Speaker 1>had Asia and they go Japan, I go got it,

0:46:51.600 --> 0:46:53.160
<v Speaker 1>they go China, got it. And then when they start

0:46:53.200 --> 0:46:59.120
<v Speaker 1>to go Vietnam or Malaysia or Bangladesh, I'm oh, I might.

0:46:59.680 --> 0:47:01.640
<v Speaker 2>But you know, my brother is in the State Department,

0:47:01.719 --> 0:47:03.960
<v Speaker 2>and so he would he would play this game with

0:47:04.000 --> 0:47:10.000
<v Speaker 2>me where he would just name he would name capitals

0:47:10.360 --> 0:47:14.200
<v Speaker 2>of countries and then I would have to name the country.

0:47:14.440 --> 0:47:18.239
<v Speaker 2>I could not name one if you put like if

0:47:18.280 --> 0:47:23.600
<v Speaker 2>I had a blank map of South America and of Africa,

0:47:24.520 --> 0:47:29.080
<v Speaker 2>and I would even Europe. I would get the majority wrong,

0:47:29.239 --> 0:47:31.960
<v Speaker 2>like I could pick out Italy because it's a boot shape.

0:47:31.680 --> 0:47:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Because you know, ignorant.

0:47:34.160 --> 0:47:37.040
<v Speaker 2>So like I just geography has never been a thing,

0:47:38.600 --> 0:47:41.600
<v Speaker 2>even the United States. I have a general idea, but

0:47:41.719 --> 0:47:45.040
<v Speaker 2>actually no, like Olive and Gus came across this like

0:47:45.120 --> 0:47:45.760
<v Speaker 2>little map.

0:47:45.840 --> 0:47:46.120
<v Speaker 1>It was.

0:47:46.320 --> 0:47:49.680
<v Speaker 2>It was a puzzle for kids, and it's all wooden pieces,

0:47:49.719 --> 0:47:53.040
<v Speaker 2>and all the wooden pieces are the States. Even that

0:47:53.480 --> 0:47:58.000
<v Speaker 2>we spent hours just being like this is what I know.

0:47:58.120 --> 0:48:01.240
<v Speaker 2>This one's main but that's pretty much and then it stops.

0:48:02.200 --> 0:48:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, oh yeah, I know. We I was doing

0:48:05.200 --> 0:48:08.879
<v Speaker 1>bar Trivia and silver Lake right before the Great Choir,

0:48:09.040 --> 0:48:11.760
<v Speaker 1>and I was with Blake and Mikey and my other friends.

0:48:11.760 --> 0:48:14.239
<v Speaker 1>And then the final round for our trivia team were

0:48:14.280 --> 0:48:16.799
<v Speaker 1>state capitals and you had to send one person from

0:48:16.880 --> 0:48:18.759
<v Speaker 1>your team up to the stairs, so it wasn't that

0:48:18.760 --> 0:48:21.560
<v Speaker 1>bar public house that's closed now. And then it was

0:48:21.680 --> 0:48:24.520
<v Speaker 1>first every time you got one wrong or you repeated one,

0:48:24.560 --> 0:48:27.120
<v Speaker 1>you were eliminated, and they sent me up and I

0:48:27.239 --> 0:48:29.160
<v Speaker 1>just held a few in the back of my in

0:48:29.200 --> 0:48:31.760
<v Speaker 1>the back pocket, like everybody knows, sort of the basic ones.

0:48:32.200 --> 0:48:35.600
<v Speaker 1>But I was sitting on Maryland, which everybody thinks is Baltimore.

0:48:35.719 --> 0:48:39.799
<v Speaker 2>Oh wait, wait, let me think, I think Columbia, right, No, no, oh,

0:48:39.840 --> 0:48:40.960
<v Speaker 2>what is it?

0:48:41.000 --> 0:48:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Annapolis?

0:48:41.920 --> 0:48:43.040
<v Speaker 2>Annapolis?

0:48:43.360 --> 0:48:45.640
<v Speaker 1>And so that's like a sneaky one. And then Florida.

0:48:45.760 --> 0:48:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Everybody thinks it's like Jacksonville or Miami or one, and

0:48:50.120 --> 0:48:53.399
<v Speaker 1>it's Tallahassee. And so I was just sitting on these

0:48:53.440 --> 0:48:55.640
<v Speaker 1>capitals and we ended up winning the round and winning

0:48:55.680 --> 0:48:57.800
<v Speaker 1>the game. But it was so funny just to watch

0:48:58.000 --> 0:49:02.480
<v Speaker 1>four adults no clue because once somebody named one, you

0:49:02.480 --> 0:49:06.680
<v Speaker 1>were like, oh, California, You're like Sacramento, Okay, that's easy, yeah,

0:49:06.680 --> 0:49:08.400
<v Speaker 1>And then you get to the middle and you're like,

0:49:08.560 --> 0:49:12.280
<v Speaker 1>is it Omaha or is it Lincoln And does it matter?

0:49:12.719 --> 0:49:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure.

0:49:15.160 --> 0:49:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Also, it's interesting as cities that capitals are for the

0:49:20.800 --> 0:49:26.560
<v Speaker 2>most part, disappointment city, not the best city, they're disappointment

0:49:26.600 --> 0:49:29.080
<v Speaker 2>cities like Sacramento. Do you want to go to Sacramento?

0:49:29.640 --> 0:49:33.239
<v Speaker 1>I think about Sacramento more than the average person you do.

0:49:34.000 --> 0:49:38.080
<v Speaker 1>I think you know people that hate California, they really

0:49:38.160 --> 0:49:41.239
<v Speaker 1>hate La and San Francisco. They don't hate the whole state.

0:49:41.280 --> 0:49:43.719
<v Speaker 1>You can't hate California because you're like, oh, you hate Yosemite,

0:49:43.760 --> 0:49:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Well then you're a monster. You hate the Redwoods, go

0:49:47.000 --> 0:49:50.759
<v Speaker 1>to hell. Yeah. But I'm like, and then Sacramento is

0:49:50.760 --> 0:49:53.880
<v Speaker 1>sitting right there, and I'm like, what they should just

0:49:53.920 --> 0:49:56.799
<v Speaker 1>inject so much money and culture into that city and

0:49:57.040 --> 0:49:59.880
<v Speaker 1>just make it so unique and so cool and just

0:50:00.160 --> 0:50:03.320
<v Speaker 1>build it to be something new. And instead it's.

0:50:03.160 --> 0:50:07.040
<v Speaker 2>Like, nah, I will I hear that, just because San

0:50:07.080 --> 0:50:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Francisco is so insane, the Bay Areas so looney Tunes,

0:50:10.120 --> 0:50:14.080
<v Speaker 2>looks like in its own world with prices, that Sacramento

0:50:14.280 --> 0:50:16.600
<v Speaker 2>is starting to become cool. That is, I know one

0:50:16.640 --> 0:50:19.200
<v Speaker 2>person that lives there and they're just like, it's starting

0:50:19.239 --> 0:50:20.160
<v Speaker 2>to become cool now.

0:50:20.320 --> 0:50:22.480
<v Speaker 1>So look at that. Hope that's true. I look at

0:50:22.480 --> 0:50:25.040
<v Speaker 1>the barbecue there once. I still did a boutique motel

0:50:25.160 --> 0:50:28.160
<v Speaker 1>there once. That was really cool. I think it needs

0:50:28.200 --> 0:50:32.919
<v Speaker 1>to be a great California city. So I'm pro Sacramento. Yep,

0:50:33.280 --> 0:50:34.560
<v Speaker 1>it's an educational podcast.

0:50:34.600 --> 0:50:40.080
<v Speaker 2>Here's one of educational Send us home, Scottie, send us God.

0:50:40.120 --> 0:50:41.960
<v Speaker 1>This was so funny, I might save it for our

0:50:41.960 --> 0:50:44.839
<v Speaker 1>next guest. Okay, yeah, let me just one that work.

0:50:44.920 --> 0:50:48.400
<v Speaker 1>Steph Schrader. Thank you, Steph Shrader. You always send great stories.

0:50:48.560 --> 0:50:51.279
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Steph. This was in science alert dot com,

0:50:51.320 --> 0:50:53.920
<v Speaker 1>so you know it's got to be maybe real. Written

0:50:53.960 --> 0:50:56.759
<v Speaker 1>by Michelle Starr Best in the Biz. Also sounds like

0:50:56.800 --> 0:50:59.799
<v Speaker 1>a fake name for Science alert dot com, but thank

0:50:59.840 --> 0:51:04.319
<v Speaker 1>you Michelle Starr for doing the lord's work. Rock used

0:51:04.360 --> 0:51:07.799
<v Speaker 1>as doorstep for decades turns out to be worth over

0:51:07.960 --> 0:51:13.040
<v Speaker 1>one million dollars. One man's trash is another man's treasure,

0:51:13.160 --> 0:51:15.080
<v Speaker 1>but a chunk of rock used to keep a door

0:51:15.120 --> 0:51:17.520
<v Speaker 1>open for decades is a treasure by pretty much any

0:51:17.560 --> 0:51:20.319
<v Speaker 1>metric you might use. Good writing. The three point five

0:51:20.400 --> 0:51:23.560
<v Speaker 1>kilogram ak seven point seven pound stone was found in

0:51:23.600 --> 0:51:26.760
<v Speaker 1>a stream bed in southeast Romania by an elderly woman

0:51:26.960 --> 0:51:28.719
<v Speaker 1>who brought it home and put it to use as

0:51:28.719 --> 0:51:31.920
<v Speaker 1>a doorstop. Her discovery turned out to be one of

0:51:31.920 --> 0:51:35.399
<v Speaker 1>the biggest intact chunks of amber in the world, its

0:51:35.520 --> 0:51:39.200
<v Speaker 1>value somewhere in the region of one point one US

0:51:39.239 --> 0:51:40.160
<v Speaker 1>million dollars.

0:51:40.160 --> 0:51:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, Oh my god. Did she get the money?

0:51:42.040 --> 0:51:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Did she get the money?

0:51:43.680 --> 0:51:49.400
<v Speaker 1>The elderly woman who found this particular rumnite nugget ba

0:51:49.640 --> 0:51:53.279
<v Speaker 1>blah blah blah. No. The woman died in nineteen ninety one,

0:51:53.400 --> 0:51:56.960
<v Speaker 1>but a relative inherited her home suspected the doorstop might

0:51:57.000 --> 0:51:59.600
<v Speaker 1>be more than meets THEI. On learning what he had,

0:51:59.640 --> 0:52:02.680
<v Speaker 1>he sold the amber to a Romanians, to the Romanian state,

0:52:02.960 --> 0:52:05.360
<v Speaker 1>who had it a praise by experts at the Museum

0:52:05.400 --> 0:52:08.840
<v Speaker 1>of History in Krackow And, Poland. According to these experts,

0:52:08.880 --> 0:52:12.120
<v Speaker 1>amber is like this amber is likely between thirty eight

0:52:12.160 --> 0:52:14.440
<v Speaker 1>and seventy million years old. What a guest, am it?

0:52:14.760 --> 0:52:18.080
<v Speaker 1>What a nice range, A.

0:52:18.160 --> 0:52:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Giant forty five million year range. It's just it's somewhere

0:52:22.560 --> 0:52:26.799
<v Speaker 2>in somewhere, essentially saying it's old. We don't know if

0:52:26.800 --> 0:52:28.120
<v Speaker 2>it's old or really old.

0:52:28.840 --> 0:52:32.120
<v Speaker 1>So that guy scored a million dollars from the Romanian state,

0:52:32.200 --> 0:52:34.680
<v Speaker 1>and then it resembles a man in Michigan, which is,

0:52:34.840 --> 0:52:37.480
<v Speaker 1>according to us, not a Midwestern state. But you can

0:52:37.600 --> 0:52:38.920
<v Speaker 1>sound off in our DMS.

0:52:38.920 --> 0:52:41.439
<v Speaker 2>Sound off in our DMS sound off.

0:52:41.480 --> 0:52:43.520
<v Speaker 1>Who kept us a large Oh? He kept a large

0:52:43.520 --> 0:52:45.319
<v Speaker 1>piece of rock as a doorstop, only to be found

0:52:45.320 --> 0:52:48.719
<v Speaker 1>he was keeping a meteorite that was worth over one

0:52:48.800 --> 0:52:53.200
<v Speaker 1>hundred thousand dollars. So check your doorstops. Stops using a rock.

0:52:54.360 --> 0:53:00.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, I like I like a rock doorstop. There's

0:53:00.400 --> 0:53:05.480
<v Speaker 2>to have a manufactured doorstop. When rocks are everywhere we live,

0:53:07.640 --> 0:53:09.480
<v Speaker 2>pile of rocks, use one.

0:53:09.360 --> 0:53:12.760
<v Speaker 1>To put your door open. That's right. Well, thank you everybody,

0:53:12.760 --> 0:53:13.439
<v Speaker 1>exactly right.
