90
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 4: my dad would be at a comedy show if I

91
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 4: let him in them, Yeah he would. He would be

92
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 4: like an auditory reaction person.

93
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 1: Has he ever seen you? So, he's never seen you

94
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: do stand up?

95
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 4: He's never seen me do stand up?

96
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah I have.

97
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 3: I've been I've been actively trying to keep my new

98
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 3: special away from my dad, and I was very worried

99
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 3: about it. Yes, I was very worried about it, and

100
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 3: because I you know, I talk about him a little

101
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 3: bit in it, and uh, you know, it's it's all

102
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 3: like it's all I think, playful ribbing, but comes from

103
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 3: you know, some place of kind.

104
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 2: Of deep painful hurt. Yes, yes, yes, that ye.

105
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: And I had no problem with him seeing it.

106
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 3: But then he had a he had a stroke maybe

107
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 3: like a year ago, and now he can't he can't talk,

108
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 3: and so I would have been very open for him

109
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 3: to see it and then be able to.

110
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: Like talk to him about it.

111
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 3: And now he has a very difficult time forming kind

112
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 3: of more you know, upper level words, even though he

113
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 3: thinks can think all of it. And so I like

114
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 3: asked his wife, like, Hey, could you just like I

115
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 3: just kind of want to feel I feel more protective

116
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 3: of him now you just ask him not to watch it?

117
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 3: And she's like, yeah, yeah, I don't think he knows

118
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 3: it exists.

119
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: Good, Yeah, he doesn't know it exists.

120
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 3: And then he did like one of the posts about

121
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 3: it on Instagram, and then my brother texts me he's like,

122
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 3: Dad's gonna watch it now, and I was like, there's

123
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 3: no way Dad's gonna watch it now.

124
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: It's not going to follow up. He's never watched any

125
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: of my comedy.

126
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, that's so wild, you know, not to

127
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 4: My father also had a stroke too. He's really and

128
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 4: that's not why he's not gonna watch it or anything,

129
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 4: but because he can speak again and everything.

130
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: Huh oh, that's good.

131
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, all the vocab is back, but you know it's

132
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 4: it's honestly the language barrier and so uh huh yeah.

133
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 4: I think it'll be fun for him to just watch

134
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 4: me move about and make a noise for an hour. Yeah. Well,

135
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 4: the audience laughs.

136
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 3: Did you I saw like a little clip from your

137
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 3: trailer or is it true that your parents gave themselves

138
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 3: American names?

139
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, every one of my relatives. Yeah, my dad didn't

140
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 4: move to the States with us, but my mom goes.

141
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 4: My mom goes by Linda. You got Uncle Paul, you

142
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 4: got Auntie May, you got Simon.

143
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 3: And.

00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't wait to see it.

00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 4: Thank you, Thank you so much.

146
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: Do you want to hear about this original Florida man?

00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 4: I do? Yeah? Is that true? For Amos is not

148
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 4: this time?

00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: This is the at well, I don't want to spoil

150
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: to see that.

151
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 3: The reason I didn't use the actual headline is because

152
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 3: it gives too much away, and so instead I will

153
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 3: go to where I originally found this, which is a

154
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 3: very cool Instagram account that I follow called history cool Kids.

155
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: And it's a terrible name, but a very good account. Okay,

156
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 3: And here's the story of amo Okay. On March eighteenth,

159
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 3: northernmost region of Finland that's part of the Otic Circle,

160
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 3: when they came under attack by Soviet forces. They soon

161
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 3: found themselves surrounded by the numerically superior Soviets and had

162
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 3: no choice but to retreat as quickly as possible through

163
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 3: deep untouched snow koy Viewnin led the way, but soon

164
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 3: found himself physically drained. And by the way this is

165
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 3: I'm just literally reading this off of the history cool

166
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 3: Kids instagram, which does not cite where they are taking.

167
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 2: I've seen this story. This is real. This is a

168
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 2: hard I.

169
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 3: Have looked it up on multiple places, but this is

170
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 3: kind of the easiest chunk to explain it. He then

171
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 3: remembered that he was carrying a package of pervetin, an

172
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 3: earlier version of crystal meth that was u used as

173
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 3: a stimulant during World War Two. Popping one of these

174
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 3: pills was equivalent to drinking several cups of coffee.

175
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: Fuck it just so.

176
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 3: Happened that Koi Union was carrying the entire supply of

177
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 3: purvetin for his Unity unit struggled to pop a single

178
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 3: pill into his mouth because he was wearing thick gloves

179
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 3: and was.

180
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: Also skiing like a madman to escape the Soviets.

181
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 3: Since he could not risk slowing down, he decided to

182
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 3: consume all thirty pills of pure meth amphetamine.

183
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: He noticed the effects right away.

184
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 3: His exhaustion faded, and he began to ski faster and faster.

185
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 3: The Soviets were unable to keep up, and his own

186
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 3: unit disappeared behind him. Suddenly, Koiv Union's vision began to

187
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 3: blur and he lost all consciousness. When he awoke, he

188
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 3: was completely alone and had covered one hundred kilometers in

189
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 3: like this is like eight foot deep snow, you know,

190
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 3: Like this is what he's skiing on top of Oh,

191
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 3: he was still high with no food or ammunition. Because

192
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 3: he left his all of his friends behind, his only

193
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,719
Speaker 3: chance of survival was to keep skiing. He had no

194
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 3: idea where it was, but he knew that the Soviets

195
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 3: were still on his trail during the next few days.

196
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 3: The next few days, okay Koi Union came across Soviet

197
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 3: forces several.

198
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: Times, but managed to escape each time.

199
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 2: Fueled by math, he even skied.

200
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 3: Over a landmine which exploded and then and managed to

201
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 3: catch the forest on fire around him and he and

202
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 3: it left him badly injured and delirious, but not enough

203
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 3: to kill him. Drifting in and out of conscious, koy

204
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 3: Union knew that he would quickly perish if he fell

205
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 3: asleep for two long and subzero temperatures.

206
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: He needed to keep skiing.

207
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 3: Oh Koi Vieunin managed to finally make it back to

208
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 3: safety after having traveled a total of four hundred kilometers,

209
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 3: which is two hundred and fifty miles on skis. He

210
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 3: weighed only ninety four pounds and his heart rate was

211
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 3: still pumping at two hundred beats per minute. He lived

212
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 3: wow until the age of seventy one and passed away

213
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 3: in nineteen eighty nine.

214
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 4: Wow incredible and that amazing, amazing. I wish he was.

215
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 4: I wish they quickly made it like an Olympian like

216
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 4: I wish they like they were like, this is no

217
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 4: the Olympics, you know what. I wish they sort of

218
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 4: like went to him, you know, and now watching Amo,

219
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 4: you know.

220
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 2: Cut to Amo, I thought you meant.

221
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 3: I wish this was an Olympic event where professional skiers

222
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 3: take massive amounts of methamphetamines and then ski for two

223
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty miles while being shot at.

224
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 2: I do.

225
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 4: That's called war baby there it is.

226
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 2: Wow, that's must have been thrilling. So did he blackout?

227
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 2: Like he blacked out? He was so jacked up, he's

228
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 2: blacked out, but then he continually just skied. I mean, yeah,

229
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: I would watch that as the Olympics. The Speed Olympics

230
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 2: would be incredible.

231
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 3: The Speed Olympics would be better than the rigular especially winter.

232
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 2: Winter makes it more interesting. Summer you could see their

233
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 2: bodies too much. It's like, but if you're just like

234
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 2: a blur out in the snowfield, just going for it,

235
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 2: I want to see it.

236
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a mix of things. It's a war simulation

237
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 4: slash Speed Olympics, you know, and actual sport.

238
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 2: Right, actual beautiful and actual sport.

239
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, and role play like cosplay, because you think, I

240
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 4: think for this you have to be whatever he was.

Speaker 1: The avids were awesome.

245
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 3: It was legitimately like James Bond, all white with white

246
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 3: skis and like white hats, so that they would like

247
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 3: blend into the snow.

248
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, wow, I mean, and you know, I I was enticed.

249
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 4: I was in the story. The only part that I

250
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 4: wasn't sure about was every how do they know about

251
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,080

Speaker 4: what I mean?

253
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 2: You know, I I was after they found him, they

254
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 2: measured that there was after they rescued him. His heart

255
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 2: rate was still at two hundred beats per minute. That's

256
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 2: how much speed he took.

257
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, he had lost all like a bunch of weight.

258
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 3: And also he was still on speed after like whatever

259
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:27,480

Speaker 2: you had to stay and like an arms with apart,

288
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: and we had nuns. We had sisters that would walk

289
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: around and they would make sure that you were standing

290
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 2: like you're keeping a basketball with Yeah, you had to

291

292
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 2: crotches from touching, basically, and my then girlfriend was acting

00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 2: to stand for the part, she would like jump up

297
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 2: and down and hug me and spin me around and stuff.

298
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 2: She was bigger than me. She had hit puberty. I

299
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 2: had not. And it turned out she had taken diet pills.

300
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 2: She had taken like Dexa trim or something, and she

301
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 2: was off the rails, which looking back is the fun.

302
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 2: I can just remember her laughing hysterically and then running

303
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 2: laps around the entire dance floor with her friend Gina,

304
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 2: and I didn't know what was going on. I was

305
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 2: just like, I guess she's yeah, maybe it was the

306
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 2: Holy Spirit, but she was on Dexa trim, just going

307
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 2: Moniacle and you know, I haven't talked to her in

308
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 2: thirty years. I hope she's out there doing great.

309
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: How did you find out?

310
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 2: She told me she got in trouble, Like they called

311
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 2: her parents and were like, something's wrong with your daughter.

312
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 2: And then you know, dating back then was you would

313
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 2: go to two school dances a year. You'd hold hands

314
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 2: and you'd talk on the phone once a week or whatever.

315
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,719

350
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 4: y'all went to Christian Catholic school. I went to public school,

351
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 4: and I danced at my homecoming, you know, I danced

352
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 4: up on the sky Marcus that sort of I've been

353
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 4: crushing on and we had both like sort of been

354
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 4: there alone. Strangely, so I danced with him all night

355
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 4: and I got I got the wrong ideas. I said,

356
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 4: oh my gosh, we're like dating, you know. And so

357
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 4: the next day I saw him on campus. I saw

358
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 4: him in the hallway. I grabbed him and I made

359
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 4: out with him and he pushed me away, because you

360
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 4: know that is you shouldn't do that.

361
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fair.

362
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 4: You need to like have conversations. I just like, yeah,

363
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 4: in front of all these people in between like two classes,

364
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 4: you know, I grabbed him, I put my tongue down

365
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 4: his throat. He pushed me away, and he said, damn girl,

366
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 4: you're scary. And that's kind of what I's.

367
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 2: A fair assessment of that situation. I think I think

368
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 2: he had. You know, it's a lot to go from

369
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 2: standing in a hallway to having a tongue in your throat.

370
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 2: It's very scary.

371
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 4: And that's my me too story where I did it

372
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 4: to somebody.

373
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 2: But you haven't since and you live and you learn

374
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 2: you made the correction.

375
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I learned way back then, before any conversations about it.

376
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 4: You just needed someone to tell you you're you're scary.

377
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 4: And I was like, wow, I've never been called that.

378
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 2: I went to public high school and our dances were

379
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 2: so popular that they would sell out. They sold tickets

380
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 2: and if you didn't buy them on the first day, Yeah,

381
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 2: it was like five bucks or ten bucks a ticket.

382
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 2: Huge public high school and they had seven hundred and

383
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 2: fifty tickets and it would sell out in one day.

384
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 2: So if you didn't like hurry to where they sold

385
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 2: school supplies or whatever and buy tickets, you didn't go.

386
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 2: And so like how the school didn't get to go?

387
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: Wait a secon half the school So the school was

388
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: fifteen hundred kids, I.

389
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 2: Think only eighteen hundred.

390
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, only half we got to go to any school dance.

391
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 1: That's so crazy.

392
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 2: You gotta remember though half the students probably want nothing

393
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 2: to do with the school dance. But it was a

394
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 2: it was a diverse school and everybody went and it

395
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 2: would be like sometimes it'd be Baltimore club music, sometimes

396
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 2: it would be footloose By, sometimes it would be whatever

397
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 2: Garth Brooks song was bigger the time, Like everybody hit

398
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 2: the dance floor and it was homecoming probably sophomore year,

399
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 2: and they did the Royalty where you could be the

400
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 2: king and the Queen of the dance and all that stuff,

401
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 2: and for my class, I got prince, so I got

402
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 2: the runner up, and so another a girl named Jen,

403
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 2: got princess or whatever the runner up was for the ladies.

404
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 2: And her spaghetti strap dress. One of the straps snapped

405
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 2: before our dance, and so we I go find her

406
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 2: on the dance floor and everybody's dancing. We're slow down dancing,

407
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 2: and the king and the Queen are literally wearing crowns.

408
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 2: It's all very bizarre. And this girl Jen, that I

409
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 2: didn't know very well and I are slow dancing and

410

Speaker 2: thank you for bringing your wife to our show, and

458
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 2: also thanks for just sending a very polite, professional direct

459
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 2: message hard to do these days. And last but not least,

460
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 2: Tracy Bardugone. I believe I'm saying that right starts sad

461
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 2: gets happy. She had a dog pass away. It was

462
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 2: named Emma. It was an adopted pitbull and one of

463
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 2: the great dogs, and she was listening to bananas anytime.

464
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 2: She got sad, so much so that when she went

465
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 2: to pick up her dog's ashes, she was listening to

466
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 2: bananas and cackling. She was laughing while she was getting

467
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 2: her dog's ashes and said, damn, she's still heavy when

468
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 2: she got the bag of ashes. So I think I

469
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 2: got a laugh from the staff. I think the staff

Speaker 4: Hate?

626
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 3: The little pillows? I hate, I deeply hate the little

627
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 3: pots on the dead on the lower end, on the

628
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 3: lower end, hotels they have the little pillows. They have

629
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 3: like eight eight small pillows.

630
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 4: Guys after a long night of performing, Hey, I don't

631
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 4: notice the size.

632
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 2: Thank you.

633
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:44,439
Speaker 1: Oh man.

634
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,280
Speaker 3: You know what, Here's what I dislike about the tiny

635
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 3: pillows the most is that I sleep. I sleep cradling

636
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 3: a pillow like it's a lover encircled in my arms.

637
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 2: The generous lover and the tiny.

638
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: And the tiny pillow was com too small to create.

639
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 2: It's like holding a child, like a real creep.

640
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have to change the way I sleep.

641
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 3: I have to hold its little pillow head up near

642
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 3: my shoulders so could burp.

643
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 2: Oh that is so funny, and nobody's talking about it.

644
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 2: The product's instructions say to microwave the cup for three

645
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 2: and a half minutes, but Ramirez's attorneys argue this number

646
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 2: doesn't account for the other four steps required to prepare

647
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 2: the pasta removing the lid and sauce pouch, adding water,

648
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 2: microwaving and stirring. I mean, what is happening? According to

649
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 2: court documents, the additional steps mean it's possible for the

650
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 2: mac and cheese to be ready in just three and

651
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,280
Speaker 2: a half Oh, it's impossible for the mac and cheese

652
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 2: to be ready in just three and a half minutes.

653
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 2: Craft Heinz Food Company dismissed the lawsuit as frivolous. We

654
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 2: are aware of this frivolous lawsuit and will strongly defend

655
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 2: against the allegations in the complaint, a spokesperson told CNN

656
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 2: on Monday. The lawsuit also alleges the Craft is unfair

657
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,439
Speaker 2: really profiting off of false advertising for the cups. I mean,

658
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,439
Speaker 2: I you guys, get it. Let me see if there's

659
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 2: anything interesting in here.

660
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 4: I want to know how long it took her?

661
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, that's and that's what it does not say.

662
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 3: I looked up multiple articles for this, and it does

663
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 3: not say how how long she believes it does take.

664
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: But it can't.

665
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 3: It's probably three minutes and forty five seconds, Like, how

666
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 3: long does taking a top off, putting it in a microwave,

667
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 3: taken out of the microwave, and stirring it take fifteen seconds,

668
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 3: twenty five seconds?

669
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 4: Maybe, Oh, I'll tell you. After a long night of

670
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 4: drinking and you're in freaking Saint Paul, Minnesota, and it's

671
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 4: cold outside capital, and your husband couldn't travel with you

672
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 4: because he had COVID, and you're on your own, and

673
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 4: you're at the Marriotte little pantry and you get that

00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 4: package says. But you're drunk af Okay, you're stumbling, you

Speaker 4: it can take a while. You go. You're pressing buttons,

679
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 4: trying to figure out a new microwave.

680
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 3: Okay, pass out in between. Up, it's an hour later.

681
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,760
Speaker 3: This is way more than three and a half minutes.

682
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,399
Speaker 4: This two boys. This too too much water, that'll make

683
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 4: you cook. It'll take forever, too much because you've gotta

684
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 4: wait for that those tiny little pastas to soak up

685
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 4: all that water. Bitch. A lot of weird, A lot

686
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 4: of things could have gone wrong with this with this

687
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 4: mac and cheese, and I can one, I will. One

688
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,839
Speaker 4: could be that she over drowned the pasta to put

689
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 4: too much water, and so she was waiting for twenty

690
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 4: minutes because the little pastas were like, we're still drowning

691
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 4: in this, bitch.

692
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 2: You soup baby.

Speaker 4: Yes, so I don't know.

694
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 2: Well, it sounds like if you have your receipts from

696
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 2: class action lawsuit. You might get paid.

697
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 4: We'll let you know. I don't like to pour fingers.

698
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 4: This is a moment to look inwards.

699
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 2: Ooh, the internal finger the most important of them all.

700
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 4: What the hell were you doing that? It took five

701
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 4: ten minutes to make this mac and cheese.

702
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 2: Oh. I dated a drunk once and on New Year's

703
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 2: Eve she got so drunk she ripped open an mre

704
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 2: a meal ready to eat that was mac and cheese,

705
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 2: and just ate it. She ate it dry on the floor,

706
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 2: just just crunching through it.

707
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: Why did you have MR's in the house.

708
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 2: It was at a hotel. It was at the Capri

709
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 2: Hotel in o Hi, And there cute thing was you

710
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 2: could buy MRIs and pour hot water in it with

711
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 2: a kettle and my then drunk partner decided just to

712
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 2: bypass the water step and break her teeth. And it

713
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 2: was a fun Year's Eve. Let's want to remember for sure?

714
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 2: I I remember, so it's weird. When I was in

715
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 2: my twenties, I was like lactose sensitive, and of course

716
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 2: I was living in New York, which is like, there's

717
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 2: a lot of dairy in New York.

718
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: But I just call it the Big Cheese for a reason.

719
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 2: We should just change it. But the moment that I

720
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 2: discovered that I had a problem was I was on

721
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,800
Speaker 2: a first date and it was it was a lunch

722
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 2: date with very nice person, and I was like, I

723
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 2: live in Brooklyn. She lived in Manhattan, And I said where.

724
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 2: Why don't you pick a spot and I'll meet you.

725
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 2: She said, great, So we go to Smack. Do you

726
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 2: remember Smack in these village? It was a place that

727
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 2: gave you skillets of mac and cheese, which are like

728
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 2: any type you want. I don't know if it's still there,

729
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 2: but it was a fiend. It was a phenomenon. Back then.

730
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 2: People were like, you gotta go to Smack. So we go,

731
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 2: we eat our disgusting and delicious skillets. Of mac and cheese,

732
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 2: and then we're taking a nice little walk because the

733
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 2: date was going well, and suddenly I felt death brewing

734
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,280
Speaker 2: inside me, and I was like, something is very wrong.

735
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 2: So I'm I urgently was like, maybe we should get

736
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,439
Speaker 2: a drink, you know, just to get into a bar

737
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 2: so you know, or she just thought it was like

738
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 2: a raging alcoholic at one pm in the afternoon, And

739
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 2: so we go to the closest bar, which was seven B,

740
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 2: the Horseshoe Bar.

741
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: Remember that bar, Kert Love seven B.

742
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 2: It's a really cool bar shape like a horseshoe. I

743
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 2: do too, and it's a ton of movies from the

744
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 2: seventies and eighties.

745
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 3: Also featured recently in the first season of Russian Doll.

746
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:39,479
Speaker 2: That's right, yeah, but the bathrooms there are not fit

747
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 2: for the needs. It is not. It's one of like

748
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 2: it's kind of like a punk rock feel, like doorless

749
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 2: stalls and just graffiti everywhere. So so I snuck out

750
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 2: the back door. I order drinks and then I rush

751
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:54,879
Speaker 2: out the back door and I'm like, I gotta find

752
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 2: a cafe or a restaurant or something. And as I'm

753
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 2: leaving the back door, a woman says to me do

754
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 2: you have a lighter? And I say no, and I

755
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,919
Speaker 2: run across the street directly into a Mexican restaurant, run

756
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 2: past the hostess and the entire staff, and run into

757
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 2: and use the bathroom. And it's a miracle. It all

758
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,399
Speaker 2: worked out. So then but I'm like, so the date

759
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 2: just thinks I left her. She thinks I just ghosted her.

760
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 2: She didn't see me leave. I don't think, but basically,

761
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,760
Speaker 2: I'm like, she thinks I'm out of here. So I

762
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 2: jogged back across the street and the woman who asked

763
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 2: me for a lighter was Janine garoffalo Oh smoking a cigarette.

764
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 2: And I didn't know her at the time, but and

765
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 2: for she's a costando comedian and an actress, and I

766
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 2: recognized her. But when I came back, she just takes

767
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 2: a Drago cigarette. She goes cozy, and I go, what's that.

768
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 2: She goes, are the bathrooms over there cozy? And I go, yeah,

769
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 2: they're pretty good, but she goes, yeah, there's not a

770
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 2: lot of easy bathrooms in this neighborhood, and then just

771
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,720
Speaker 2: walked away. Really cool. And so I go back into

772
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 2: the bar and my date was clearly like, where the

773
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 2: hell have you been for the last five minutes or whatever,

774
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:04,919
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, I'm so sorry. I saw

775
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 2: my friend Jeanine Garofflo. Do you know who she is?

776
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 2: And she goes, no, I got she wanted to smoke

777
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:13,800
Speaker 2: a cigarette with me. I didn't smoke a cigarette, but

778
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 2: Janine Graffalo is like the perfect excuse to get me

779
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,320

00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 3: little guy named Scotti.

792
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 2: Have you ever had flop sweat in the middle of

793
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 2: a date? Come on suddenly and you demand the person

Speaker 2: Here?

798
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 1: It is.

799
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 3: Frenchman wins right to not be fun at work.

800
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 2: That's fair.

801
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, this was sent him by Sean Fister on our

802
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 3: Instagram The Bananas Podcast. This is in the Washington Post

803
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 3: written by Rachel Pannett, who is some say the best

804
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 3: in the biz at writing about fun French people. Yes,

805
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 3: Francis Highest Court has ruled the demand fired by a

806
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 3: Paras based consulting firm for allegedly failing to be fun

807
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 3: enough at work, was wrongfully dismissed. The man referred to

808
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:48,280
Speaker 3: in court documents as mister T. Who this is like, guys,

809
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 3: mister T's fun? Can we choose a different moniker?

810
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 2: I know.

811
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:55,320
Speaker 1: Mister T is the most fun.

812
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 3: Okay, I guess unless he's flying, right, then mister T

813
00:43:59,320 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 3: is no fun.

814
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:01,280
Speaker 1: If he has to fly, he's.

815
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 3: Very Conset was fired from Cubic Partners in twenty fifteen

816
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 3: after refusing to take part in seminars and weekend social

817
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 3: events that his lawyers argued, according to court documents, included

818
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 3: quote excessive alcoholism and quote promiscuity. Mister T had argued

819
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 3: that the fun culture in the company involved humiliating and

820
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 3: intrusive practices, including mock sexual acts, crude nicknames, and obliging

821
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 3: him to share his bed with another employee during work functions.

822
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 2: Wit not normal.

823
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:40,879
Speaker 3: That part is like really off the charts. In its

824
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 3: judgment this month, the Court of Cassation ruled that the

825
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 3: man was entitled to freedom of expression, refusing to participate

826
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 3: in social activities was a fundamental fleet in blah blah

827
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 3: blah blah blah blah bab. According to the court documents,

828
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 3: the man was hired by Cubic Partners as a senior consultant.

829
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: But here's the deal.

830
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 3: He was fired for professional in common potents in March.

831
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 3: The company also criticized his sometimes brittle and demotivating tone

832
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:12,240
Speaker 3: towards subordinates, allegedly inability to accept feedback and differing points

833
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 3: of view. Okay, so all right, this is a confusing thing. Uh,

834
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,320
Speaker 3: it is not the first time a company's drinking culture

835
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:25,399
Speaker 3: is coming into the microscope in court proceedings. Blah blah

836
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 3: blah blah blah anywhere else. Some it's in England. Some

837
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 3: companies have what they call booze chaperones. That's what the

838
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 3: article says for when like a work parties get out

839
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 3: of hand, there's someone to be like, I'm watching everything

840
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 3: and I'm sober.

841
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 2: Probably smart. That's a product. That's a good thing.

842
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love a booze chaperone, Get yourself a booze

843
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:53,359
Speaker 3: chaperone companies. Yeah, but yeah, so that guy he won,

844
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 3: he's allowed to be not fun at work.

845
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 2: How much did he win?

846
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 3: I think it just does it say, oh, he won

847
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 3: one point two million dollars?

848
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 4: What?

849
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 1: Yeah?

850
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 2: Wow? I think that that's that's so much money for

851
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 2: just being a party pooper.

852
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,840
Speaker 4: But the party and sounded toxic.

853
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 2: Yes, for sure, getting bullied pure precious the worse he

854
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 2: was getting bullied NonStop. But still five grand.

855
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 4: I think.

856
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: I think I quoted him properly. I saw one point million.

857
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 3: That might be from a different court case, but one

858
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 3: point two million has been awarded to people who didn't

859
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 3: want to be fun at work in France apparently, Oh.

860
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, their ideal fun is different.

861
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 1: I know.

862
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 3: I guess it's like the European like work party. I

863
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 3: think is a totally different animal than the American work party,

864
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 3: although I do I don't know. Parties getting pretty crazy.

865
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.

866
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 3: When I worked for a staffing agency called Access Staffing,

867
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 3: Uh huh.

868
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: I worked there for eight years.

869
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 3: It was their it guy, and I fixed computers for them,

870
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 3: which really meant I did no thing.

871
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,760
Speaker 1: I didn't know, but we would go on these.

872
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:13,800
Speaker 3: Work parties and it was it was fascinating the levels

873
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 3: of inebriation that I witnessed.

874
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 2: For people.

875
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 3: I guess it's I guess it's just people who don't

876
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 3: party right. And then it's like three drinks and they

877
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 3: are blackout on the dance floor.

878
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's real.

879
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was intense. It was really intense.

880
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 2: Let's go, did you ever work in a corporate environment?

881
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 2: Did you ever work in like a really bland office?

882
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 4: I always my jobs like that were always so short lived.

883
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 4: I barely have any memories of it. Like the closest

884
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 4: to getting a real job. I feel like the other

885
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 4: day I was at a bar and the bartender frantically

886
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:58,280
Speaker 4: rushed to our table and asked, is anybody here a doctor?

887
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 4: You know that that feeling I felt of being needed

888
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 4: like that? I think it's the ghostess I felt to like, maybe,

889
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 4: oh my god, I'm like employed, you know, like you know,

890
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 4: even though you.

891
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:18,399
Speaker 1: Were not the doctor and not oh yeah, it couldn't.

892
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 4: Help, oh yeah, no no. But the urgency excited me

893
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 4: because no one ever asked for a comedian like that,

894
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 4: you know, no anyone here have jokes? Anybody anybody on

895
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 4: this plane, you know what I mean. Imagine the pressure, right, just.

896
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 2: Like a nightmare.

897
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 4: Hey everyone, and you know it's just anyway. But yeah, no,

898
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 4: but I've seen my father drink a lot, and that's

899
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,320
Speaker 4: when I knew all maybe maybe all work is toxic

900
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 4: when they try to have fun, you know, because they're

901
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 4: just all work, work, work, work, work, and then they're like,

902
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 4: we don't know how to just drink moderately.

903
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 2: Yes, I want to show you the other side of me,

904
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 2: the devil's side that's been inside me, sitting actually in

905
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:01,959
Speaker 2: this cubicle for eleven months.

906
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 4: Oh yeah.

907
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 3: And I also think part of it too, is like

908
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 3: I don't want to hang out with people from work.

909
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,879
Speaker 3: Well poor enough alcohol on top of it, and these

910
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,399
Speaker 3: people are barely tolerable.

911
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:19,839
Speaker 2: Yeah that's right. My accountant a few years ago made

912
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 2: me laugh so hard. They have the most boring office ever.

913
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 2: It's like it's like a twenty minute drive north of

914
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 2: LA and he's a really nice guy. He's really good

915
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 2: at entertainment accounting. But he's just sitting there typing in

916
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 2: my taxes, just typing into my expenses, typing in all

917
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 2: that crap. And it's silent and you don't know what

918
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 2: to do, and I don't want to pull out my

919
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 2: phone and be rude because he might have to ask

920
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 2: me a question. So I'm just sitting there watching a

921
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,799
Speaker 2: grown man do my taxes and it's I don't know,

922
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 2: let's say eight minutes go by, but it feels like

923
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:49,320
Speaker 2: forty years. And then suddenly he just stops typing, slowly,

924
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 2: looks up at me, goes, do you like women's basketball?

925
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 2: And I go, yeah, I guess, so it's pretty good.

926
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 2: Why he goes, I coach my dog team until she

927
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 2: went to college and then just went back and there

928
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 2: was nothing else about it. It just came into his

929
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 2: mind while he was crunching numbers.

930
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, do you know what that could do to a person?

931
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 4: I mean, look at him, listen to you know, and

932
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 4: imagine if he gets to let loose.

933
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 2: Oh oh yeah, it's gonna be like.

934
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 4: You know, I want to be there, you want to

935
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 4: be there.

936
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 2: I want to be pouring the eggnog. When my accountant

937
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:31,240
Speaker 2: Bruce loses his shirtless, running around with his tie around

938
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 2: his head, just still an a yes pretty much pretty much.

939
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 1: Send us home, Scattie, I have.

940
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 2: Some good ones here. Let me see if I have

941
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 2: a fun. Oh, this one's fun.

942
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:46,439
Speaker 1: All right.

943
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,720
Speaker 2: This was fun because it's in Canada and we always

944
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 2: assume that Canadians are the friendliest, nicest people alive, but.

945
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:56,800
Speaker 1: Not always the case is out there just human beings

946
00:50:57,239 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 1: is just.

947
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 2: Like the rest of us. This was on CBC dot Ca,

948
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:07,320
Speaker 2: written by Aura rosis Wow.

949
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that sounds like it could be just one.

950
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 2: Word, yes, dot Ca Aura Rosas, which is a beautiful name.

951
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:20,360
Speaker 2: Great or a frame sponsor of the Bananas podcast. Brothers

952
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 2: who haven't spoken to each other in over thirty years

953
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:28,760
Speaker 2: are fighting to become the mayor of Port Colborne. Bill

954
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 2: and Charles Steele from Port Colburn, Ontario or brothers who

955
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 2: haven't spoken to each other in thirty years, and this

956
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:37,320
Speaker 2: fall they'll be fighting it out in the race for mayor.

957
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 2: I love this just the anger and then it's like

958
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 2: you're running for mayor. Motherfucker me too, Mayor Bill Steele. So,

959
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 2: one of the brothers won the election in twenty eighteen

960
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 2: and his brother Charles are the only two candidates running,

961
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,399
Speaker 2: so they're they're coming head to head. They will face

962
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 2: each other in the upcoming municipal elections. Charles said he's

963
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 2: running against Bill because he believes in democracy and wants

964
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 2: to see regular people run for up Duncan on him.

965
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 2: If I hadn't run, then my brother would have been

966
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 2: acclaimed mayor because nobody else was running. A lot of

967
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 2: politicians have silver spoons in their mouths. We could use

968
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 2: some new thinking. Something's going up.

969
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 1: Also, I just looked it up.

970
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 3: Port Colburn has eighteen thousand people. This is a small area.

971
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 2: This is so fun. Let me see if there's any

972
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 2: highlights in here. Charles Steele says we need more humanity

973
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:41,440
Speaker 2: in our mayor. Charles says that his brother is not

974
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 2: the only reason he's running. Yes, it is. This is

975
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 2: so personal, he said. One of his goals it's a

976
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 2: set some new directions for Colborne and mentioned affordable housing.

977
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 2: Very good. We all agree we need more affordable housing

978
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:58,880
Speaker 2: other things. Charles says he wants to address to the

979
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 2: rising cost of living. But this is the line I

980
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 2: actually bolted it on my document. Charles said, although he

981
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 2: has nothing against his brother Bill, they have not spoken

982
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 2: for thirty years.

983
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 1: Thirty years, wow, thirty years.

984
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 2: He's not happy with the way he's running things. I

985
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:19,879
Speaker 2: mean this is so good.

986
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 1: Oh so his brother already was mayor right.

987
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 2: Oh wow, So Bill is mayor Charles is running against him,

988
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:29,919
Speaker 2: but he says he has nothing against his brother, who

989
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:34,360
Speaker 2: isn't spoken to in thirty years. Asked why they haven't

990
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 2: spoken in so long, the brothers wouldn't exactly say why.

991
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:43,279
Speaker 2: This feels like a Zach Alfanakis movie. To me, this

992
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 2: feels like a movie. Yes. As for Bill, he says

993
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 2: he's not worried and he knows the community will vote

994
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 2: for him because they know who he is. I've raised

995
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:55,919
Speaker 2: my family here, My roots are here, my brother's here.

996
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:00,040
Speaker 2: You did say that I run a business here, so

997
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:03,240
Speaker 2: everybody knows who I am. I campaigned on open transparency,

998
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 2: being honest with the public and have always done so

999
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:09,399
Speaker 2: in my twenty one years of public service. So these

1000
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:11,439
Speaker 2: two just hate each other's guts for some secret reason.

1001
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:12,760
Speaker 2: It feels like a Stephen King novel.

1002
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 3: Really, wow, that's amazing. Go do you have any siblings.

1003
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 4: I have half siblings and you know we don't talk.

1004
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 1: Oh, look at that there it is.

1005
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe you could go to their place of work

1006
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 3: and tried steal their job.

1007
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:27,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1008
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:31,280
Speaker 4: But if my sister ever gets any ideas about running

1009
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 4: for anything in Chiba, Japan, Oh, I will. I'll be

1010
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 4: the first two. Yeah, and it'll be because I want

1011
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 4: affordable healthcare.

1012
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 2: Right, I do like that.

1013
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:46,720
Speaker 4: Charles is like on like the right side of history

1014
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:48,920
Speaker 4: with things though that He's like, you know, things are

1015
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 4: getting expensive. I want affordable housing for people. I want

1016
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 4: you know, I'm.

1017
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 3: Mayor of this eighteen thousand person down, I'm gonna have

1018
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:04,880
Speaker 3: the power to reduce of consumer goods.

1019
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:08,880
Speaker 4: At least. He's repeating someone else's campaign, Yes, someone I

1020
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 4: would vote for.

1021
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:12,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, he implies a lot of like financial things, the

1022
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:14,960
Speaker 2: silverspoon regular people.

1023
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 4: I believe in democracy. I was like, wait, I do too,

1024
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:21,000
Speaker 4: Charles the same page.

1025
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe I think we should have some non politician

1026
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:25,840
Speaker 3: thinking like what would a politician do?

1027
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 1: Whatever?

1028
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 2: On that is, I'm doing this. I know small town

1029
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 2: politics are so insane, and like a friend of mine

1030
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 2: was running for something similar, like something small, and he

1031
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 2: was like, if we get forty five votes, we win.

1032
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 2: I was like, what he goes, sixty votes is like

1033
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:45,360
Speaker 2: a landslide. And I was like, oh, okay, so yeah, okay,

1034
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:49,320
Speaker 2: good to know. Dang well, good luck to those gentlemen.

1035
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:51,359
Speaker 2: I'll do a follow up as soon as I see

1036
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:55,920
Speaker 2: the results. But Hopefully it doesn't end in a murder suicide,

1037
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:58,360
Speaker 2: you know, hopefully this ends just with a nice handshake

1038
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:00,480
Speaker 2: and no words exchange.

1039
00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:05,160
