00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 2: It is fascinating because I've gained like twenty pounds during

61
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,880

00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 3: I mean? Easy?

68
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: If I was jogging and I glanced briefly to my left,

69
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: I would be like, who is that? Studeley? Forty two

72
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: And uh, and it is just so much harder to

73
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 2: lose weight now and it just happened this year. It

74
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 2: used to be like if I stopped drinking and like

75
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: just watched what I ate for like a couple days,

76
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: I would just like lose ten pounds. And now it is, Uh,

77
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: it's real, real tough, and I guess that's just I'm

78
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: gonna accept it. I'm gonna be okay with it, and

79
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 2: it's just the future for me. But uh, yeah, so

80
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 2: it's been good, you know, just by I.

81
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,559
Speaker 3: Remember what you would run. Oh I lost.

82
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was in a walrus phase last fall and

83
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: then I just got out of it by not drinking

84
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: for ninety days. But I'm back. I'm back off the

85
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: wagon where I belong. I remember when you used to

86
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: text me and go, I'm running, Are you home? And

87
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: I would say yeah, And then when you would run

88
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: by my building, you would scream as loud as you

89
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: could and then just keep running, never stop by.

90
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 3: I always loved it.

91
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: I would be typing and I would just hear, and

92
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: then I'd be like, there goes Kurt on his daily jog.

93
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 2: I do, and it'd be so cold at those those

94
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 2: jogs in New York City where the where like you

95
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 2: finish and it tastes like your lungs are bleeding, do

96
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 2: you know, like that feeling where it was just like

97
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 2: it was that cold out that like I don't even

98
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: know what the hell that is.

99
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 3: It's probably not good for you, but maybe it's great

100
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 3: for you. Who knows.

101
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 4: Maybe it's the best I would know anything anymore.

102
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 3: No, it's all up in the air. Anything, it's up

103
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 3: in the air.

104
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 4: You watch of the news, You're just like, we do

105
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 4: this now, No, we do this now.

106
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 3: Nope, we're switching it up. This is what we're doing now.

107
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 3: And I'm just like, I don't know, I don't know

108
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 3: what's happening.

109
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna follow people on Twitter and Instagram who post

110
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: political and and that kind of news. That's like, now

111
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: it's this because eventually you just lose all respect for those.

112
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,239
Speaker 3: People and don't want to even be their friends anymore. Yep.

113
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 3: Over the weekend, yes, this one quick anecdote.

114
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: All right, So I went to I found out that

115
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: Los Angeles has a professional rugby team.

116
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 3: I didn't know this.

117
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: And they're called the Guilteenies because I guess there's this

118
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: rich guy's last name is Gil, like Adam Gill. I

119
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: think he's Australian. He made his money doing Here's what

120
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: I was told, And then I don't know gil teenis.

121
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 4: But I mean, like, is it a riff on something?

122
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 3: Like? Is it like Martini's but guilty? Like what that's right?

123
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: So the logo is a G the top of a

124
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: Martini glass. It's a pink logo and it's a G

125
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: that turns into a Martini, so it is like Martini's.

126
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: Their fans are called the Guilty Kis. So you wear

127
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: Hawaiian clothes, tiki shirts and stuffs.

128
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 3: So many confusion.

129
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,800

Speaker 1: is it? He said the Coliseum For the ban animals

134
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:11,920

135
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: former Olympic stadium, the Coliseum. It's right next to USC,

136

145
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,239
Speaker 1: I got a killer parking spot, so I'm not giving

Speaker 4: But I love a Lime scooter. I really do.

159
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I'm at the wrong location.

160
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: Paul and Gabris are showing up to this big sports

161
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: bar that is open. I'm two two and a half

162
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: miles away. I go, hey, I'm scooting. I'm cool. I'm cool.

163
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 3: So I get on a Lime scooter.

164
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: Looking like a just a moving lou al, just a

165
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: tall white lou owl, just racing through South La. So

166
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,719
Speaker 1: I look at my map on my phone and I

167
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: mentally go okay. So the fastest way to do this

168
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: is to cut directly through USC's campus to the other

169
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: side to USC Village.

170
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 2: Where usually a pleasant ride on a scooter through a

171
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 2: college campus a weekend, on a weekend during the summer

172
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 2: gorgeous and me and the me and the painters, me

173
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 2: and the landscapers. So I'm gunning it. I'm making killer time.

174
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 2: I'm weaving in and out of traffic.

175
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: I turn into USC campus full speed and I go

176
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: about I don't know, let's say, fifteen seconds of top

177
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: speed one of those things. And then it slows to

178
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: a stop and I'm like, okay, it's a.

179
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 3: Zone, which I didn't know was a thing.

180
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: And now I'm about a mile so I'm like, well,

181
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: I'll just I'll turn it off.

182
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 3: I'll just turn it off.

183
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: Here and I'll just walk this mile or whatever. So

184
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: so we'll let me turn it off because it's a

185
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: no parking red.

186
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 3: Right because you can't pack it? Oh right, right, yes.

187
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: So then I'm like, well, next logical step, I'll just

188
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: scoot it with the motor off.

189
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 3: So I start scooting with.

190
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: My foot, just old school nineteen eighty style, and it

191
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: breaks on it.

192
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 3: Like I'm breaking.

193
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 2: I'm shaking my head because they have a thing so

194
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 2: that you can't steal it, so that if it's not

195
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 2: like on, you can't just push it.

196
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 3: That's right.

197
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: I don't know any of these things, and I'm trying

198
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: to meet my friends in time so we can also

199
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: make it to the game. So I just start pushing

200
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: the scooter and then the scooter just stops. So then

201
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: I have to carry this scooter for one mile through

202
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: the middle of campus while families of incoming freshmen are

203
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: touring the campus. And here comes this thirty year old guy,

204
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: Bobby Bobby Luell carrying a scooter that weighs twenty five

205
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: to forty five pounds. Just walk through like I can't

206
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 1: wait to sell your kids LSD. I liked to party

207
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: where the freshmen at and so I just am sweaty

208
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: carrying a scooter. Every college kid knows exactly.

209
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 3: It's a red zone. So they're just like, look at

210
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 3: this buffoon.

211
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: And so I just was like, I'm going to carry

212
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: this thing and like pretend like I'm looking at my phone.

213
00:10:55,400 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: But people in groups were walking by, getting quiet when

214
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: they went past me, like look at this sad sack

215
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: of crap. I loved it.

216
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I love that story so much.

217
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: It made me so happy and I just made like

218
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: ten mistakes, but it was really my wardrobe ensemble that

219
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: sold it for everyone.

220
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. Well this is crazy. I mean, like

221
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 2: we never we never go this long before getting into

222
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 2: a story.

223
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 3: But I gotta tell a Lime scooter.

224
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 2: Story, get a Lime scooter adjacent story. I was in

225
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 2: Bulgaria recently. Lime scooters in Bulgaria. Wow, that's it's not

226
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 2: even their own version of it's just Lime Scooters.

227
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 3: And so I'm scooting.

228
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 2: Around and and you know, I'm by myself, so I'm

229
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 2: trying to explore the city, and Bulgaria was like, actually

230
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 2: very cool. So I was in Sofia and it's actually

231
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: a very beautiful in you know, in the center of

232
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 2: the city, it's very European. Outside it's all like brutalist

233
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 2: architecture and everything, but right in the middle, it's like, oh,

234
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: you could be in a European you know city Bulgaria

235
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 2: for Bulgaria, and they have all these like bars and parks,

236
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 2: which was so great. It's like, exactly what I want

237
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 2: is to just walk into a park and there's a

238
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 2: literal bar with no walls and you just walk up

239
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 2: and buy alcohol and then just walk through the park

240
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 2: with it. And it's like that is exactly what every

241
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 2: park should have because park walk in.

242
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 3: Perfect agree, so couldn't agree more.

243
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 2: Having some drinks, scoot mound and then I have that fun.

244
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 2: Oh there's a casino here. There's actually multiple casinos there,

245
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 2: and I was like, and they have poker, and I

246
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 2: for the pandemic was playing poker online with friends, like

247
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 2: where they had just little video images squares guys. Yes,

248
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 2: every all my buddies from Jersey, like on Saturday night

249
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 2: we would like play poker and I could see them

250
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 2: and really it was just a way to like catch

251
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 2: up and chat. But then there was like something going on,

252
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 2: as opposed to a zoom where everyone like you know

253
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 2: those Zoom hangouts during the Great Choir, where it's just like.

254
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 3: Okay, next who's next, we'll talk. Yeah, how is your wife?

255
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 3: Is your wife still okay? Very good?

256
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 4: So it was just like, you know, a way to

257
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 4: hang out together anyway.

258
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 2: I have never played poker in a casino, and it's

259
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 2: seems terrifying, but I was excited. I'm by myself, I

260
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 2: have nothing to do. I go there and they like,

261
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 2: need your passport. So the first time I went and

262
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 2: I was like, I had to go get my passport,

263
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 2: came back, they checked me in. I become a member

264
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 2: of the casino or something. I go in and I

265
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 2: grab a guy and I'm like, I want to play poker.

266
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 3: How do I do?

267
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 4: And they're like, we'll put you on the list.

268
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 2: And then I just sit there and they're like mister,

269
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,719
Speaker 2: mister Kurt, and I was like yes, and they like

270
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 2: lead me over. So then I sit down and I'm

271
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 2: pretty sure I don't know what people in the Bulgaria

272
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 2: mafia look like, but I'm pretty sure they're all in

273
00:13:55,559 --> 00:14:00,079
Speaker 2: like matching zip up tracksuits.

274
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: Adidas track suits. I maybe I don't know exactly what

275
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: Bulgarian gangster like.

276
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 2: Big gold chains, and everyone's smoking, everyone just constantly smoking. Really,

277
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 2: and the woman who's running the game is doing it

278
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 2: all bulgarian and I have never played in public before,

279
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 2: so I so the speed at which it goes I was.

280
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 4: Not the speed is very fast.

281
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 2: And I keep sucking up, and I keep sucking up

282
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 2: with like like blinds and stuff like that, and then

283
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 2: this guy to my right starts fucking with me a

284
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 2: little bit and calling me George, and I was like, sorry,

285
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 2: I'm I've played online. I haven't played in person. He's like, yeah, yeah,

286
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 2: we know George, and he's like locking with me a

287
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 2: little bit. I'm like, oh, okay, you know, and I'm

288
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 2: like I'm just not talking. I'm trying to keep a

289
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 2: low profile and just playing. And then George keeps fucking

290
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 2: with me. And then eventually we get to a position

291
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 2: where it's me and George. I mean, I call him George.

292
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 2: The guy keeps calling me George. Yes, and then he

293
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 2: does like the thing that like I didn't even think

294
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 2: happened in real life poker games, which was like he

295
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 2: pushes all of his chips in and he goes all in.

296
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 2: And then I was like and I and I knew

297
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 2: what I had. I had I had, I just had

298
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 2: like a two pair. But I was like, I'm going

299
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 2: to go all in against this guy even love this.

300
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 3: I love of course, of course I'm going all in.

301
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 2: And so I go all in, and I was like,

302
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 2: really like it was really exciting to push it all in,

303
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 2: you know, like push all in.

304
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 3: It's because it's been so stressed for chips with two fingers,

305
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 3: just like how much is this?

306
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 2: I went four dollars in and and I fucking won.

307
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 2: I won four hundred dollars like right there. And then

308
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, I want to run away right now.

309
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 2: I have four dollars. I want to get out of

310
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 2: here now. But then I like stayed and was like

311
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 2: polite and like played like a few hands and lost

312
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:55,200

Speaker 1: creativity in children, while another online baby product site describes

346
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,960

347
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: Polish mother living in kai Chung recently.

348
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,719

Speaker 1: You just reminded me of a story. I'll remember this

352
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: at the end. But when a Polish mother living in

353
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 1: Taichung recently visited a location with a baby, she discovered

354
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: the cactus was actually rapping some pretty explicit lyrics. The

355
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: woman told another Polish citizen living in Taipei about the incident,

356
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: and they notified Taiwan News.

357
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 3: The mother said the lyrics.

358
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: Repeatedly mentioned cocaine and attempting suicide.

359
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 3: Oh my, no.

360
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: Wow, gosh, Oh my gosh, cocaine and suicide, attempting repeated

361
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 1: over and over and over again.

362
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 3: It was really shocking, she said, yes, no, chit is

363
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 3: really shocking.

364
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: Oh. The mother from ti Chung recognized the song, which

365
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: was produced by a Polish rapper named Sippis or Sipus.

366
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: She made a video of the rapping cactus and shared

367
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:41,719
Speaker 1: it to a Polish online forum.

368
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 3: She said, the thirty two centimeter.

369
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:48,360
Speaker 1: Tall toy, So that's two point something centimeters per inch, right,

370
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: so we'll say it's sixteen inches, so pretty big, pretty bad.

371
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 2: We'll send me foot tall, very rapped loudly about suicide.

372
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 3: It's a furry cactus you Gotta have fun.

373
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: Is also available at other locations in Taipei and online

374
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: shopping at Shoppy.

375
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 3: Who doesn't like shopping at Shoppy? What I do? And

376
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 3: the toy is available overseas on Amazon.

377
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: The mother said, Uh, the song itself is definitely inappropriate

378
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: to play in front of your children, So there you go.

379
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 2: Here's the question, though, if your child doesn't speak Polish,

380
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 2: is it inappropriate or is it really only inappropriate for

381
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 2: Polish children?

382
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 3: Right? I agree, and it's probably nice Poland.

383
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: No, but it does make me want to get my

384
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: hands on one of these.

385
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 3: But yes I do as well. We should both order one. Yeah,

386
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 3: we can try to get it.

387
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: It doesn't have the name of the toy, but I

388
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: bet if we look up wrapping furry cactus cocaine, yeah,

389
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 1: we'll get We'll get a good Google search out of that.

390
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: No matter what, we'll bring it up. No matter what,

391
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: did I ever talk about The Stinking Rose and the

392
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: music the musician that played there.

393
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 3: No, I can't remember.

394
00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 4: Okay, I don't think so.

395
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: I don't think i'd either, but I'm gonna tell it

396
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: no matter what. So when I first moved to La,

397
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: there's a chain called The Stinking Rose. It's a garlic

398
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: themed restaurant. I think it's on Losienaga. And there's a

399
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: kind of a part of La for people who've never

400
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: been out here where there's like a bunch of big

401
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 1: chains in a row and it's like restaurant row. And

402
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: I was out getting drinks with this guy and he

403
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: was like, well, let's get one more. And it was

404
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: cold in La. It was cold for La, I should

405
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: say it was probably thirty degrees. So we went to

406
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: the closest bar. The closest bar is the Stinking Rose.

407
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: It smells so much like garlic, it's insane. You instantly

408
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: know the rest of your night you're not gonna go

409
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: meet anyone. So we go into the bar and the

410
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 1: bar is packed, and there's a guy playing a piano

411
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: and he's singing and playing a piano. He's got a

412
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: giant sniffer with tips in it. There's one drunk guy

413
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: sitting at that piano. It's like one of those bars

414
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 1: shape pianos. It's just the saddest dude you've ever seen.

415
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: And so I sit down and we're talking. The guy's

416
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: name is Carrato that I'm with. Corrado and I are

417
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: sitting there hanging out. He's ordering more food, which is

418
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: hilarious to me because it's all garlic bass. We're having

419
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: cocktails and the guy starts singing the singer at the piano.

420
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 1: I'm noticing a drum sound, a bass drum, and I

421
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: look under the piano and his left foot is playing

422
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: a kick drum like he's playing the bass. So while

423
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: he's playing piano, he's drumming.

424
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 3: With his left foot, and I'm like, this guy's pretty cool. Yeah.

425
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 3: So another song goes by and he's playing a lounge cover.

426
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 1: He's an older guy. He's like late sixties white dude.

427
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: He's playing like a cover of some Sinatra stuff. He's

428
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: taking request. The drunk guys sitting at the piano is

429
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: putting like a dollar in after every song. So then

430
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 1: he starts playing Sexy Back by justin Timberlake. But he's

431
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: doing his version where he's like, I'm bringing sexy back

432
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: boys just don't know how to act. So then he's right,

433
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: he's playing the drum, playing the pianos. He bends down

434
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: and sits up and he's got a bass guitar around

435
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 1: his neck. So he's playing the piano with his left hand,

436
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: he's slapping a bass with his right hand. He's singing,

437
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 1: he's singing, and he's playing the drums. So I'm like,

438
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: rodo you gotta look at this? And we're turned around,

439
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: and I'm like, this might be the greatest musician in

440
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: the history of Los Angeles.

441
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 3: Yeah.

442
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: So another song comes up, and now I'm not leaving

443
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: until this guy's done his set.

444
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. So he's playing.

445
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: I think he was playing like an usher song and

446
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: same thing, drum, piano, bass, singing. He gets this part

447
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: and I'm like, is he just gonna go for this

448
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: high note? He reaches down, picks up a trumpet and

449
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: starts soloing on a trumpet with his right hand while.

450
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 3: Still playing the piano.

451
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: With the other HANDO foot, left foot, babe let foot drum,

452
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: left hand piano, right hand trumpet, and then puts it

453
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: down and goes back to bass and singing.

454
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,719
Speaker 3: It was the craziest lounge ex.

455
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 1: So I go home. I'm telling everybody I know about this.

456
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,040
Speaker 1: I must have told you this nine years ago. So

457
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: and I go on the website to prove the point

458
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: that not only does this man exist, but that he

459
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: does all these things and so on the Stinking Roses website,

460
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: they have a page for this guy, like like Thursdays

461
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: and Saturdays come sing with I don't remember his name,

462
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: we'll call him Michael.

463
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

464
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: All the reviews are from extremely famous people, Smokey Robinson,

465
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: Wretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, just incredible, but none of them

466
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: give a compliment. They all give the most sideways compliments,

467
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 1: like they say ambiguous things like there's nobody like Michael,

545
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 1: It was a great social experiment. I'm so glad we

546
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 1: did it. I regret doing the text messaging at all.

547
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 1: The phone calls were wonderful, And for all the people

548
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 1: that said, oh my god, I can't believe you picked up,

549
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: I laughed every time. And for all the people that

550
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: said oh shit and hung up because they didn't think

551
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: I'd really answer, you're kind of my favorite callers of all.

552
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: But the main thing I just want to relay about

553
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 1: the Banana Phone and the fact we might do something

554
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: similar in the future who knows it was fun to

555
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: reach out to our fans, was they're really nice people

556
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: and there should be a lot of hope for all

557
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 1: our listeners that you're part of a really big, kind

558
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: community of people. Because for me are it was so uplifting,

559
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 1: how supportive and cool. Everybody's promoting each other, wishing happy birthday,

560
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: doing each other, just giving shout outs for their friends,

561
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: their dads, their moms. It was very uplifting in an

562
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: unexpected way. I just thought it would be people like

563
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: telling me bad jokes or screaming in the phone or

564
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: farting or something, and instead it was a lot of

565
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: really sweet people telling a lot of nice stories. So

566
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: I think it was a total success. I love the

567
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,800

Speaker 2: found this story. But here is finally what the story

625
00:31:55,840 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 2: actually is. Yeah, so Rutger got in touch with the

626
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 2: sea captain who rescued these kids in nineteen sixty six. Okay,

627
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 2: and so they got in So the author got in

628
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 2: touch with the guy who rescued them, and he got

629
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 2: in touch with one of the boys. So he literally

630
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 2: was he's a sea captain near New Zealand, between New

631
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 2: Zealand and Fiji, and he was literally just boating around

632
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 2: and then saw all like a burn mark on an

633
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 2: uninhabited island and then all these boys jumping off the

634
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 2: water and swimming out to him. And so then he

635
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 2: like radioed it in like I've got six kids here,

636
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 2: and an operator like waited like it was like stand by,

637
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 2: came the response, quoting twenty minutes ticked by. As Peter

638
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 2: tells this part of the story, he gets a little

639
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 2: misty eyed. Finally, a very tearful operator came on the

640
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 2: radio and said, you found them. These boys have been

641
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 2: given up for dead, funerals have been held. If it's them,

642
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 2: this is a miracle. Yes, yeah, so I'm just inn

643
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 2: this story.

644
00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 3: I know this story.

645
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 4: This is an amazing alright.

646
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 2: I did not know, because you know, the Lord of

647
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 2: the Rings was always like, if you put a bunch

648
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 2: of boys on an island, they're gonna fucking create a monarchy,

649
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 2: a dictatorship, and then they're gonna murder a boy. And

650
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 2: the real story of what happened was so so different.

651
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 2: So here is the story. The protagonists were six boys, Sion, Steven, Colo, David,

652
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 2: Luke and Mano, all pupils at a strict Catholic boarding

653
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 2: school in Nukua Alofa. The oldest was sixteen, the youngest thirteen,

654
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 2: and they had one main thing in common.

655
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 4: They were bored witless. We got we got you, guys.

656
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,479
Speaker 2: Yes, So they came up with a plan to escape

657
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 2: to Fiji, some five hundred miles away, or even all

658
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 2: the way to New Zealand a good plan.

659
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 4: There was only one obstacle. None of them owned to boat.

660
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 2: Because they were so they decided to borrow one from

661
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 2: mister Tana Taniela Uhila, a fisherman they all disliked. The

662
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 2: boys took little time to prepare for the voyage. Two

663
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 2: sacks of bananas, a few coconuts, and a small gas

664
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 2: burner were all the supplies they packed. It didn't occur

665
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 2: to any of them to bring a map let alone

666
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 2: a compass. Of course, no one noticed the small craft

667
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 2: leaving the harbor. That evening Scott's were fair. Only a

668
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 2: mile breeze ruffled the calm. See Rutger really is.

669
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 3: Best in the biz for writing.

670
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 2: A few hours later they awoke to water crashing down

671
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 2: over their heads.

672
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 3: It was dark fun.

673
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,760
Speaker 2: They hoisted the sail, which the whim promptly tor to shreds.

674
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 2: Next to break was the rudder. We drifted for eight days,

675
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 2: Mono told me, without food, without water, the boys tried

676
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 2: catching fish. They managed to collect some rain water and

677
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 2: hollowed out coconut shell shit shells and shared it equally

678
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 2: between them. Then, on the eighth day, they spied a

679
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,280
Speaker 2: miracle on the horizon. A small island, to be precise,

680
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 2: not a tropical paradise with waving palm trees and sandy beaches,

681
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 2: but a hulking mass of rock jutting up more than

682
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 2: a thousand feet.

683
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 3: Out of the ocean.

684
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 2: Not so great these days, Ada is considered uninhabitable. But

685
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 2: by the time we arrived, Captain Warner wrote in his memoirs,

686
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 2: the boys had set up a small commune with food garden,

687
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 2: hollowed out tree trunks to store rain water, a gymnasium

688
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 2: with cure yes, a bad minton court, chicken pens, and

689
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 2: a permanent fire, all from handiwork, an old knife blade,

690
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 2: and much determination. While the boys in Lord of the

691
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 2: Flies came to blows over the fire, those in the

692
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 2: real life version tended their flame so it never went

693
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 2: out for more than a year. The kids agreed to

694
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 2: work in teams of two, drawing up a strict roster

695
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 2: for garden, kitchen and guard duty. Sometimes they quarreled, but

696
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 2: whenever that happened, they solved it by imposing a time out.

697
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 4: Their days began and ended with song and prayer.

698
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 3: Uh yeah.

699
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 2: Structure colo fashion a makeshift guitar from a piece of

700
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 2: driftwood and played it for that fifteen months, all summer long,

701
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,399
Speaker 2: at hardly rained, driving the boys frantic with thirst. They

702
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 2: tried constructing a raft, but it fell apart one of

703
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 2: the boys. Now I'm kind of paraphrasing, one of the

704
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 2: boys slipped and broke his leg, But instead of leaving him,

705
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 2: they all like climbed down and like brought him back up,

706
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 2: and then they set the leg with sticks and vine.

707
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 3: Right.

708
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 2: They survived on fish, coconuts, tame birds. They drank the

709
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 2: blood as well as eating the meat. Seabird eggs were

710
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 2: sucked dry. Later, when they got to the top of

711
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,720
Speaker 2: the island, they found an ancient volcanic crater where people

712
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 2: had lived a century before. There the boys discovered wild taro, bananas,

713
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,240
Speaker 2: and chickens which had been reproducing for the one hundred

714
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 2: years since the last Tongans had yet tasks.

715
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 3: Isn't that crazy?

716
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 2: I love that After they were rescued, the local physician

717
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 2: expressed astonishment at their muscled physiques and Steven's perfectly healed leg.

718
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 2: So this is the craziest part, right, yes, sir, paraphrasing.

719
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 2: Here to wrap it all up for this story.

720
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,479
Speaker 1: Wrap it up tight. We love this story. I think

721
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: my favorite murder did this story. By the way, when

722
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: you've said their names, I remember Karen. I think Karen

723
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: did this one. But hey, hey, there's a lot of

724
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: wild stories out there, a lot of wild stories.

725
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 2: Our apologies if you if this is all bullshit to

726
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 2: you and you've.

727
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 3: Heard it all before. They like it. They like it,

728
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 3: so they so.

729
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 2: They came back. They're putting into the harm the rest

730
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 2: get off the boat. They're rescued. They are immediately arrested.

731
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 3: Because welcome home.

732
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 2: Mister Tanila Aluha was still mad that they stole his boat,

733
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:33,320
Speaker 2: so he pressed charges. Then the guy who rescued them

734
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 2: went and paid their bail, got them out, and then

735
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,760
Speaker 2: gave them all jobs as crew on his boat.

736
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 3: Yes, they were like friends forever, right, they were like yes.

737
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 2: And then also because basically they went to the king

738
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,399
Speaker 2: of the island, you know, the captain, and the king

739
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 2: said like, well, what do you want.

740
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 4: You brought these six boys back to us.

741
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 2: You can have anything, and he said, oh, I want

742
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 2: the right to uh, you know, fish for lopster off

743
00:37:58,680 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 2: your waters.

744
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 3: And he's like, yeah, you got it. And so we

745
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 3: bought a.

746
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 2: Big boat and then he hired all the boys that

747
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 2: he had rescued, and then they were a crew for

748
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 2: years and years and years, and he was like a

749
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:10,879
Speaker 2: father figure to all of them.

750
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 3: So cool. That's so crazy. Yeah, this story.

751
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 1: I mean, how isn't that a TV series that feels

752
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:19,240
Speaker 1: like a series?

753
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 3: For sure? I watched that. You think it's kind of

754
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 3: like what you said with Lord of the Flies.

755
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: It's like people always assume if it was a bunch

756
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,240
Speaker 1: of dudes together on an island, they would just become

757
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: like Neanderthals and kill each other.

758
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 3: But like, these guys work together. They sung songs.

759
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: I think I remember a detail from that article where

760
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: it was like when they would get in arguments, they

761
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,320
Speaker 1: would make separate them to opposite sides until they cooled

762
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 1: down and they'd come back.

763
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 3: We can all work together, guys. I love that song.

764
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 4: I love the story so much.

765
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 2: And I've been obsessed with this show alone that Scotty

766
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 2: turned me on to and show, and I do think

767
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 2: like when you're in like a survival situation, the last

768
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 2: thing you want to do is fight another human because

769
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 2: nature is so terrifying itself. You want to actually like

770
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 2: unite together with other people who can speak yes your language.

771
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 3: I think I love Alone. I really love that show.

772
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 2: No spoilers, but everybody go watch Alone. It's on Netflix.

773
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 2: It's amazing.

774
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: Start star with the most recent Yeah, just keep going.

775
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: But I think and this, I don't know how bad

776
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 1: this throws it off here. This is tally unfair.

777
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,240
Speaker 3: I think the women are better at Alone.

778
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they have the advantage or the disadvantage of.

779
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 3: Uh the weight loss.

780
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: But I feel like the women that are on it

781
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: should get one month head start to beef up. I

782
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 1: think they should get to get one month just to

783
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: pack on as much fat as they can, because I

784
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: think they were like even the playing field because mentally

785
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: they are good.

786
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 3: They're like they kick.

787
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 2: But I know we were talking about this and the

788
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 2: fact that like it does seem like on you know,

789
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 2: it's it's always difficult when you're making any pronouncement on

790
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 2: basis of like big big you know, structures like gender

791
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 2: or something like that.

792
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 4: But the women have.

793
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 2: The ability to cry and just like then move on,

794
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 2: like release that moment, Like the moment is experienced, it

795
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 2: washes over them. They give themselves to it, they don't

796
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 2: fight it, and it seems like they're gonna tap out,

797
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 2: and they don't, and then they're just like, Okay, now

798
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,359
Speaker 2: I got that out of my system. Now it's time

799
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 2: to move on and do the thing. Whereas like the

800
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 2: dudes hold them all in and then just start like

801
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 2: then have like a heart attack. Yeah, exactly, that's a

802
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 2: great show.

803
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 3: Gosh.

804
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: Oh, I remember when Survivor came out and everybody was like,

805
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: you go to an island, you have to eat bugs,

806
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: and you're allowed to take one thing. And I was

807
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: working in a greenhouse and I was working with basically

808
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: all strangers, and there was an older lady there who

809
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: had been like cutting Point Settias for years, and she's like, Scotty,

810
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 1: what would you take to the island.

811
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 3: And I was like, oh, I would take my mom.

812
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: And they all started laughing, and then they all liked me,

813
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: and there was like that was my joke to get

814
00:40:58,680 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: in the Survivor joke.

815
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 3: My wife Nighte would be my mom. And I stand

816
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 3: by that one too. I love that.

817
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 2: So, you know, I mean like when I was twenty two, uh,

818
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 2: you know, I decided to go do my version of this,

819
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 2: which was live in the woods by myself for a month.

820
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

821
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 2: After I was graduated college, and I was like, I

822
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 2: gotta go learn how to be alone. And so my

823
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 2: buddy owned, like my old English teacher, owned forty acres

824
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 2: up in upstate New York.

825
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 3: And so I went up there.

826
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 2: With my tent, had it had maybe done one weekend

827
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 2: of camping before this, and then decided to live in

828
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 2: the woods by myself, building my own structure. Yes, and

829
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 2: of course I didn't. I didn't like feed myself off

830
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 2: the land. I just ate tuna fish naked out of

831
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 2: a can, but you were naked. I was naked naked,

832
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 2: and tuna fish was naked. But it is fascinating what

833
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 2: happened to first. I mean, yes, the very first night,

834
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 2: because I chose a choice between an electric lantern, which

835
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:06,240
Speaker 2: of course would have been very easy, and a propane lantern.

836
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 4: And for some reason I thought.

837
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 2: It was like more woodsy or cooler to have a

838
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 2: propane lantern. And the thing about a propane lantern when

839
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 2: you're alone in the woods is it makes this insane

840
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 2: sucking noise, like.

841
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,320
Speaker 4: Oh the whole time.

842
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 2: So if it's behind you, you literally can't hear anything

843
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:30,959
Speaker 2: behind you. You just hear the sucking noise. And that's

844
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 2: what free. That's the thing that freaked me out. So

845
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 2: it was like got dark or I had my fire going,

846
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 2: and then I was like, I have to just get

847
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 2: right into bed and go to sleep right now because

848
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 2: I am working terrified absolutely.

849
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 4: Not of animals, of just of humans.

850
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, of your own imagination. That's what we're

851
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 1: all afraid of. If you're not afraid of anything.

852
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 2: But it is very, very difficult to be alone. And

853
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 2: I do not begrudge when anyone taps out. I'm like,

854
00:42:56,480 --> 00:43:01,359
Speaker 2: good for you. Get out of there, you ship, There's

855
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 2: no reason for you to do this.

856
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I totally agree.

857
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 1: There comes that point, and the older you get them

858
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: that the faster that point comes. When you're a young

859
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 1: person like you were, when you're like twenty one, you're

860
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: just like I can do anything. And then when you

861
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 1: get old enough, you go but why would I want to?

862
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 1: And then you go home and enjoy yourself. You eat

863
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: a nice meal.

864
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 3: Oh but I love that. Give me another story. Oh,

865
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 3: let's do well.

866
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: I can kind of do one along that line. Okay,

867
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: oh no, this one. A lot of people send in.

868
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 1: We haven't done this yet, all right, Cops break up.

00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 1: Raj Holder wrote that book, that book, it's so damn good. So, uh,

887
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 1: you've seen exorcisms take place in movies and TV shows, Kersher,

888
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 1: I sure have, absolutely we have. But have you ever

889
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 1: seen one in the lumber isle of home depot?

890
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 3: No? I have not, No, none of us have.

891
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 1: But police in Lakawana County, Pennsylvania. Have they received a

892
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:56,240
Speaker 1: bizarre call on Monday that quote disorderly people end quote,

893
00:44:56,239 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: we're performing a exorcism for the dead trees. I mean, yeah,

894
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 1: this is so good. It was like boredom. Maybe the

895
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: episode for this theme is severe boredom leads to great things.

896
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 1: So they were at a home depot in Dixon City, Pennsylvania.

897
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 1: They quote, they were escorted out of the building end quote.

898
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: The report ended. One officer of Dixon County Cops told

899
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: Philly Voice that it was a seance type of thing

900
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 1: for the dead.

901
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 3: It was a seance type of thing, you know.

902
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: For the dead, and there were two people hanging out

903
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: in the lumber department doing their little exorcism things. Some

904
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,760
Speaker 1: people at the store started picking up that something weird

905
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 1: was happening and was not necessarily normal. So the police

906
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: were called to the store and they were peacefully escorted.

907
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 3: Out of the building.

908
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: Oh man, these two, the individuals in question, will not

909
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 1: be charged. I mean, I assume they didn't really do

910
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 1: anything but just some some basic exorcism stuff, you know.

911
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 4: I mean like, yeah, what would what would they be

912
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 4: charged for?

913
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:00,800
Speaker 3: Getting? Just acting? Would?

914
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it'd being weirdos I guess it happened there. Did

915
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 2: someone die in the home depot? Or was it for

916
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:10,280
Speaker 2: the lumber?

917
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 3: Was there?

918
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 1: It was for the dead trees, that's what they were.

919
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 1: They were trying to exercise the dead trees. You know,

920
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: I've never been to Lakawana County, Pennsylvania.

921
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 3: It's probably a good thing I've never been there. But

922
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 3: who knows.

923
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, the individuals are not going to be questioned.

924
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: It was posted on the police blotter and on Facebook.

925
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 1: It happened at three twenty six pm, which is a

926
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 1: good afternoon.

927
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 3: Good time to exercise them. Yeah, got two by.

928
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 1: Four exorcism, Yeah, exercise you writes exorcisms. There's no indication

929
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 1: the incident was triggered by the skyrocketing lumber prices.

930
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 2: Nice way to tie it in, tie into global trends.

931
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. Good job up there, Emily Mayor. I

932
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 1: believe Emma, Emma Mayor, God, she ties it all together.

933
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:01,720
Speaker 1: It wasn't triggered by this guy rocketing lumber prices, although

934
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 1: with the market crash and the exorcism, it has been

935
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: a busy year in the lumber market.

936
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 3: Good to know. I like this though.
