Speaker 4: and the Bacchus crew. For anybody who doesn't know what

61
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,600

62
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 4: are tons of parades and there are different groups of people,

63
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 4: men and women.

64
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 3: Different.

65
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 4: I mean, everybody has a crew. And the Baccus Cruz

66
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 4: Parade is the best it had. The float there's forty

67
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 4: two floats.

68
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: Wow.

69
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 4: My friend Adam Devine was the king and every year

70
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 4: they have a different like celebrity king. In years past

71
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 4: it's been Will Ferrell, Anthony Mackie, really fun, interesting people

72
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 4: and so he's in float number one and then his

73
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 4: court which is like a group of dudes, which were

74
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 4: you know, a small group of like five of us

75
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 4: ride in the second float, all the officers float with

76
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 4: a bunch of older men who are part of the crew,

77
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 4: and for four and a half hours we throw beads

78
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 4: and toys and light up stuff to about five hundred

79
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 4: thousand people. Oh my god, So think about standing on

80
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 4: a moving parade float and just throwing. So like two

81
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 4: days later, my arm felt like I was like had

82
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 4: just done an arm wrestling tournament and then pitched like

83
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 4: fifteen innings of baseball.

84
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 3: But we're in full.

85
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 4: Costume, dressed in these like sequinned I have some amazing

86
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 4: photos of all of us, like jesture suits with masks.

87
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 4: You wear the masks. People throw stuff back they're not

88
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 4: supposed to do. But you're like dodging beads and stuff

89
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 4: the whole time too. And then at the end of

90
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 4: the four and a half hour parade, where people are

91
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 4: losing their minds for beads, everybody's like, how many tips

92
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 4: did you see?

93
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 3: How many boobs did you see? Six?

94
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: I saw six?

95
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 4: Three women's it's I think smartphones and camera phones and

96
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 4: in that Yeah, like in nineteen eighty five, if you

97
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 4: were the the CFO of Bank of America and you

98
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 4: whipped them out for the world to see. The absolute

99
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 4: worst thing that could happen is one person got a

100
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 4: print photo of it that you'll never see again, and

101
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 4: they could do nothing with it. So anyways, when at

102
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 4: the end of that parade, I mean, and we're just

00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 4: legitimately happy, throwing them light up beads like people are

107
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 4: they're so overjoyed when they get these beads.

108

00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 4: So we're right behind that, and these people lose their

133
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 4: minds even harder than the people out on the streets

134
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 4: where they're just like screaming for beads or what ever crap.

135
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:02,080

00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 4: Yes, it comes and does a loop and they announce

139
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 4: each float and ninety five hundred people are screaming at

140
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 4: the top of their lungs. Men in tuxedos, women looking incredible,

141
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 4: And then there's a VIP section and then above the

142
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 4: VIP section, there is the Bacchus crew VIP section, and

143
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 4: then above that, guarded off by security, is the King's

144
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 4: court only.

145
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,280

146
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 4: Family, all his friends, wives, girlfriends, two bars, former kings

147
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,200

Speaker 4: The Beach Boys play for an hour and a half,

149
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 4: and then two badass New Orleans DJs battle back and forth,

150
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 4: and we danced until four am before we went to

151

Speaker 4: All my friends are drunk and smiling and hugging and dancing,

153
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,400

154
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 3: They are at a party.

155
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,840

Speaker 1: end it would start raining as we were hiking out.

230
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: That's what it looked like from the forecast. Sure, I

231
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: was checking it right up until we went, and I

232
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: was like, you know already, I got all my stuff

233
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: and so we parked. We were parked at like thirty

234
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: five hundred feet and then we hiked down into this valley.

235
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,479
Speaker 1: It's about a five mile hike in beautiful. It's amazing.

236
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,959

239
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: So it starts raining, We like, you know, throw our

240
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: bear bags in the fucking pouring rain and then just

00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: like get in and stay warm. Luckily we're warm. It

242
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: drops down to twenty five that night.

243
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was worried for you.

244
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we were totally toasty in our in our gear.

245
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 1: I woke up, got a fire going in the morning.

246
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: And then and then the next day it was like

247
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: Steve and I we had a beautiful time. Derek was

248
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: making a chair. He was trying to build a chair

249
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: out of.

250
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 4: Sure what for the I watch alone for the impossible

251
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 4: for the entire day.

252
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: He was trying to build this chair that never came

253
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: to fruition. Meanwhile, Steve and I are have are frolicking

254
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:12,839
Speaker 1: in the woods, eating eating mushrooms and having the most

255
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: beautiful time. We're literally like hiking up mountains and like

256
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: looking out over valleys, and then we come down and

257
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: we're like laying on this creek bed. It's sixty degrees.

258
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: The sun is out, beautiful, beautiful clouds in the sky.

259
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: We look at the clouds for like, I don't know,

260
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: straight up an hour then we are baptized. We get

261
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: totally naked and jump in the river into the Arroyo

262
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: Seco and it's gorgeous and it's so cold, but the

263
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: sun is out and we pop out of the water

264
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: and it's like we're alive. And that was my birthday,

265
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: and so it's like a very much a nice baptism

266
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: on my birthday. Come out of the river at probably

267
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: dry off in the sun, put our clothes back on,

268
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: head on over, have lunch, get a fire going, have lunch,

269
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: and at two thirty, it starts snowing.

270
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 3: Unbelievable.

271
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: So like as we got out of the river, it

272
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: was a sunny day and then I just see right

273
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: coming over the ridge of just a black cloud and

274
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: I was like, here it comes, Steve. We walk over,

275
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: we eat food, and then it starts raining and then

276
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: I get in my I get in my hammock, and

277
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: I'm just like chatting with the guys who are like

278
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: just standing there. And then it starts snowing, and so

279
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: then it's snows gets crazy. Yeah, we're at eight we're

280
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: eighteen hundred. We're not high up, We're at eighteen hundred feet.

281
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: But then it stopped again. We were we actually had

282
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: like a very pleasant evening where it wasn't too windy

283
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: or anything like that. We go to bed, and then

284
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: as we knew we knew it would start, you know,

285
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: raining at like around six in the morning. And it

286
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: starts lightly raining at six in the morning, but then

287
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: it stops. We got a fire going, we have breakfast,

288
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: and then it starts raining again, and we're like, okay,

289
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: let's just wait it out. So we're like underneath my

290
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: tarp I just have like a rain fly up and

291
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: we're just like sitting there waiting for the rain to stop,

292
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: waiting for the rain to stop. We wait like an hour,

293
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: we wait an hour and a half. At the two

294
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: hour mark, while we're like waiting to like finally do

295
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: our last like preparations too, it starts really snowing and

296
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: like coming down. And then we're like, oh no, oh shit,

297
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: now we got to get out of here. Yeah, this

298
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: is a problem, yeah, because we don't have like we

299
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: have we're warm enough now, but if it's really starts

300
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: to snow here, we got to get out, yeah, And

301
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: so we like pack everything up, and by the time

302
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: we pack up, the ground is covered. It's like there's

303
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: snow on the ground, it's coming down pretty hard. And

304
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: we walk out and we now we have to hike

305
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: five miles back uphill to thirty five hundred feet and

306
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: I look up and the all the mountains around us

307
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: are just covered in snow and it's just total white

308
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: out conditions, like you can't see it's they're all in

309
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: the uh in the clouds, and so we just I

310
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: just may. I was like, listen, if we even like

311
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: we're about to hike up the side of a mountain

312
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: and all the trails are like just single track, single track,

313
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: and then and then like a five hundred foot drop

314
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: on the other side, and I was like, A, it

315
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: seems it's like dangerous if it's all snow and ice

316
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: on those conditions. Plus once we get to the car,

317
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: the car is gonna be buried and I'm not gonna

318
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: be able. It's an electric car with front reel drive,

319
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: it's a Nissan Leaf. There's no way I'm gonna be

320
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: able to get it out up that hill if it's

321
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: covered in snow. So we decide to you know, make

322
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: an call an audible and hike down and out the

323
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: mountain as opposed to going back up to the car. Yeah,

324
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: so we just start walking down and then uh slowly

325
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: the and that was the right move, but the snow

326
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: turned terrain and then we like hiked another four miles out.

327
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: It was gorgeous, beautiful. We call Lauren. Lauren comes and

328
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: picks us up. But now my car is still up

329
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: on the mountain and I cannot get to it because

330
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: the two is closed. Yes, and so now I have

331
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: a car that's parked in a parking lot in the

332
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: middle of the woods, covered in snow, and I don't

333
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: know when I'm gonna be able to get to it.

334
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: So we like we tried to like drive up there

335
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: today and they just turned shit, they turned us around

336
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: because it's again, another fucking storm is starting today. I

337
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: don't know when we like entered the fucking Rocky Mountains,

338
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: do you know what I mean.

339
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's totally different here, totally different.

340
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: This year is totally different. I've lived here for ten

341
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: years and this is the coldest wettest winter I've ever experienced.

342
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: It hasn't gone above fifty five degrees for like weeks. Yeah,

343
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: it's really rare.

344
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 4: Go to the beach in February and Lasso, I've can

345
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 4: remember a Valentine's Day where I was on Manhattan Beach

346
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 4: and it was ninety five degrees and I was like, yeah,

347
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 4: I love it here and that's.

348
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 1: What I was expecting. I mean, it is the weirdness

349
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: of being of swimming nude, and then one hour later

350
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 1: it's snowing. Is so crazy, totally crazy.

351
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 3: I love it.

352
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: It's here, It's here, Uh here it is. Are you

353
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: ready for this story? I love eighteen minutes in Who

354
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: Cares podcast?

355
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 3: It's been ten days.

356
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: This was sent in by Kristin Coco Coconas.

357
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, she sends a lot of good stuff.

358
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: Yeah. And the best name, the best name. It's just

359
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: from USA Today. Written by Janet Lorcer Lorki Laarky. Thanks Jenny. Now,

360
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: that's one giant penguin. Fossilized bones of three hundred pound

361
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: monster bird discovered in New Zealand. This is amazing, This

362
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: is just this is a completely banana stounds three hundred

363
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: forty pounds. Paleontologists have discovered gigantic fossilized penguin bones on

364
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: the coast of New Zealand. To a study published in

365
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: the Journal of Paleontology, only a few bounds a few

366
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: bones were found, but it was enough for scientists to

367
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: determine their size. The penguin species named Kumi Manu fordici,

368
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: was found in the Otago region in New Zealand, South Island. Quote.

369
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: Fossils give us evidence of the history of life, and

370
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: sometimes that evidence is absolutely startling, said David Field, of

371
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: the Department of Earth Sciences at the University Cambridge. So,

372
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: on the shores of New Zealand fifty seven million years ago,

373
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: Kumi manu fortchi would have been an incredible site.

374
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, no shit. So I like little penguins. They're they're

375
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 4: incredible and I could throw them as far as I want. Uh.

376
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: So many fossil penguins attained enormous sizes, easily dwarfing. The

377
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: largest penguins alive today are new species. Kumi Manu fordici

378
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: is the largest fossil penguin ever discovered. At its pack

379
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: approximately fifty pounds, it would have weighed more than Shaquille

380
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: O'Neill at the peak of its dominance. Said so, then

381
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: they haven't because it's USA today, and I love USA

382
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: today for this. They created the infographic. They have an infographic,

383
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: they have an outline of Shaquille O'Neill seven foot one inch.

384
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: Then they have a four foot emperor penguin comes up

385
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: to his crotch. Then they have a Kumi Manu Fordichi

386
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: that is six foot six inches three hundred and forty

387
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: plus pounds, almost as big as Shaquille O'Neal. It is

388
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: the most of it's the funniest bird I've I think

389
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: has ever lived. Bring it back, Bring it. I know

390
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: we've talked about the fact that, like there are companies

391
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: who are bringing back extinct mammoths, mammos, and shit fuck

392
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: that we don't need mammos. We do need a six

393
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: foot six tall penguin.

394
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 4: If only to stay next to Shaquille O'Neil, just once.

395
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: His only purpose if we bring him back, we let

396
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 1: him stand next to Shiquille O'Neil, and then we kill

397
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: him and mount him.

398
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 3: Worth the effort, Worth the science.

399
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: Oh man. And then there's a bunch of other stuff,

400
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: But really the highlight is just that is just how

401
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: big that goddamn penguin is.

402
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 3: Oh, it's amazing.

403
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 4: And why did it die? You think that that would

404
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 4: be pretty safe, right?

405
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: Why?

406
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 4: It's probably ocean It's probably an ocean bound penguin, like

407
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 4: you feel like back then and something was eating those

408
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 4: something was hunting that giant penguin, because how would that

409
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 4: go extinct?

410
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: Right fifty seven million years ago? I don't know much about.

411
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 3: I don't know much about it back then any tough, But.

412
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: That sounds like maybe a dinosaurs reating those penguins. Maybe

413
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 1: maybe that's too early for dinosaurs. I don't know, but

414
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: something You're right, something too, something more terrifying was eating

415
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: a six foot six inch penguin?

416
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, just popping it like grapes, no problem, which is fine.

417
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, my mom raised me on her own

418
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: and uh, but my she has two brothers who are twins.

419
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: And the strangest thing is that they are not like

420
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 1: I've never seen this happen before. They were identical twins

421
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:18,719
Speaker 1: who then just slowly as they aged, became completely different looking.

422
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: Like when I remember them as a kid, they look

423
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: the same, like they were like twins. And now if

424
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: they stood next to each other, I don't even think

425
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 1: you could identify them as being related to each other. Yeah,

426
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: totally fascinating, but it is weird. But because I was

427
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 1: a tall kid, the first thing everyone always asked me

428
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 1: is like, hey, play basketball, and of course, and how

429
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 1: often I had to disappoint people, like hundreds of times,

430
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,239
Speaker 1: just the majority of my days would be spent being like, no,

431
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: I'm bad at basketball. And the fact that the person's

432
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: first question to you upon meeting you, you have to

433
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 1: disappoint at them with a failure of yours. Yes, it's

434
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: so fascinating way to go through life, be like, oh,

435
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: pretty tall, you must be good at basketball. I'm not.

436
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: I'm terrible at basketball.

437
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, put your head a lot every day every day.

438
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 4: It's really weird, actually, but.

439
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: They would they wouldn't accept it. They wouldn't accept that

440
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 1: I was bad at basketball. So they like forced my

441
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 1: mom to put a basketball court in our backyard. So

442
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: then every day I had this I like would go

443
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: out there and try and play back Like I would

444
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: just practice, you know, I would just shoot and do

445
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: layups and stuff like that, never getting any better at all.

446
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: Over and over, just hundreds and hundreds of hours of

447
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: attempting to be good at basketball. Yeah, played basketball, Uh, never,

448
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: never good. And it is a fascinating idea that I

449
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 1: do believe that my mom put the basketball court in

450
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: because she was worried that I was gay.

451
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 4: Oh well she was wrong. And also didn't work sports

452
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 4: wise either.

453
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: Didn't work sports wise either, But you.

454
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 4: Know what the flip, I've seen several basketball players try

455
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 4: to do stand up comedy and they suck at it,

456
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 4: every single one. Of course, there's been a lot, and

457
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 4: they're all kind of hang out. They're like, what is

458
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 4: They're not chuckle fuckers or whatever that term is, but

459
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 4: they basically are like they try to hang out with

460
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 4: the funniest comedian, So, hey, who cares. You can't you

461
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 4: can't hit a layup, they can't hit a punchline.

462
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: Screw them.

463
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 4: Sure they make eighty million dollar contracts, that's fine.

464
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: Sure, Sure, I'm on the balls of my ass.

465
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 4: But yeah, there was a guy at UMass when I

466
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 4: was there named Anthony Oates who was like seven footer

467
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 4: and he was on the basketball team and he never started.

468
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 4: And I mean seven foot that's that's even different than

469
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 4: six ' four h Yeah. Yeah, and he just he

470
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 4: just wasn't a great basketball player. And this isn't me

471
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 4: talking chittle, because he was actually a really nice guy.

472
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: Mm hm.

473
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 4: Just didn't have the thing, had the size, didn't maybe

474
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 4: didn't even have the drive. But one day I was

475
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 4: in a door room and my friend Jody was friends

476
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 4: with him and Anthony Oates. She was like, do you

477
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 4: want to meet Anthony? I was like yeah, And I

478
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 4: go in and he was playing NCA two thousand and

479
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 4: two or whatever, like the college basketball video game. Yeah,

480
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 4: and he was playing UMass and he was playing his

481
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 4: own character, which they didn't have the names on the back,

482
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 4: but they had his number, and I think he was

483
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 4: zero or zero zero. And so I walk in and

484
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 4: Joey's like, hey, Anthony does is Scott? I was like,

485
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 4: what's up? She was like, he loves U mass basketball

486
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 4: and I was like, yeah, I do. I was like, oh,

487
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 4: are you playing? You're playing yourself? And he told he

488
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 4: just he's sitting on the floor seven footer. He turns

489
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 4: and looks at me. He goes, yeah, Oates is tight.

490
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 4: So at least in the video game world, Oates was tight.

491
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 4: Oates in real life little loose, little loose. You might say, oh, man, well,

492
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 4: I love even if you can't play basketball, because you

493
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 4: know what, you'll never have to another time in your life.

494
00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 4: Maybe at a carnival to win gus a giant stuff snow.

495
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: Olive is really into it. Olive is so Lauren won't

496
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: play basket once. She loved it. And so they have basketballs.

497
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: Now that's cute, and she plays with them, and I

498
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: was like, oh, I remember how to do things, which

499
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: is nice. But now we have basketballs and I do

500
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: play a little bit of basketball with my kids.

501
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 4: And you have a garage, so you could put a

502
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 4: hoop over a classic American assic And then as a

503
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 4: good dad, all you need to do is rebound. Just

504
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 4: catch her misshots and give her a nice bounce pass

505
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 4: and give her positive reinforcements. It that's it might make team.

506
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 4: You say, I'll do a quick one. I'll let's just

507
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 4: do a quick one even before the break.

Speaker 4: Finally it's happened to him or them or her. New

515
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 4: York alligator captain in Brooklyn's Prospect Park.

516
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 3: Did you see this one?

517
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 4: I did see it at Prospect Park Lake right where

518
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 4: I live, right where you lived. Right four foot alligator

519
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 4: has been captured in the lake in New York City's Park.

520
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 4: I mean, you and I walked right here five hundred times,

521
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 4: a thousand times. It's exactly where KURDIEB and I used

522
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:28,360
Speaker 4: to live. The reptile, which was reportedly nicknamed Godzilla, real

523
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 4: original New York, was spotted on Sunday morning by a

524
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 4: staff in Brooklyn's Prospect Park. They contacted the park's authorities,

525
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 4: who captured the gator in the parks lake.

526
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 3: It was taken to the Bronx Zoo.

527
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,479
Speaker 4: It's alligator time, yes, oh, and this was on BBC

528
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 4: dot com. This happened two weeks ago. On Sunday, temperatures

529
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 4: in New York reached forty eight point two degrees, which

530
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 4: is crazy low for an alligator. New York City Parks,

531
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 4: the authority in charge of the metropolisis Green Space, said

532
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 4: the animal was in port, very lethargic and cold shocked

533
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 4: when it was found. It is not known how the

534
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 4: alligator came to be in the lake, but authorities warned

535
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 4: residents not to release any animals into city parks, which

536
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 4: is illegal. No one was harmed by the alligator, but

537
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 4: it is being evaluated. Which is I mean, but in

538
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 4: the summer like there are so many people that fish

539
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 4: and everything in that lake. That lake is not I mean,

540
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 4: it's a lake, but it's what five feet deep in

541
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 4: the middle.

542
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: It's pretty saybe maybe it's probably two feet majority two

543
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: feet deep. It's mostly for people just to look at, like, oh,

544
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: there's a lake there. It is. I cannot imagine the

545
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: psychopath who was like, I'm going to put an alligator

546
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: in because in the summertime that thing could thrive absolutely

547
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: and just eat kids. It would just easily eat kids,

548
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: dogs summer long. Absolutely, it said.

549
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 4: Alongside potential dangers of letting go in the city parks,

550
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 4: not indigenous wildlife can, like you said, lead to the

551
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 4: elimination of native species, unhealthy water quality, or hurt people.

552
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 4: The authority said, I mean, it's exactly where we used

553
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 4: to live, like they even when they have the photo

554
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 4: of this single photo. So yeah, yeah, four feet is

555
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 4: bigger than you think.

556
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: Yes, it is bigger than you think. I realized that

557
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: when I saw the picture of the four foot tall

558
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: emperor penguin next to the six foot six inch tall penguin,

559
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: and I thought four feet is still pretty big.

560
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 4: I remember early in our friendship, like really even probably

561
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 4: before we were friends when we were just acquaintances. I

562
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 4: used to when I was not working, like when I

563
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 4: was a waiter, So i'd have my days off, I

564
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 4: would ride my bike around Prospect Park, listening to my

565
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 4: roommate Casey's iPod, and I would I would do in

566
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 4: kind of classic me fashion, I'd like, I need to

567
00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 4: listen to every Stevie Wonder song there is, so comes

568
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 4: up in conversation, I'll have an opinion. I need to

569
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 4: listen to every David Bowie song he ever recorded, So

570
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 4: if it ever comes up in Brooklyn conversation, I'll have

571
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 4: a strong opinion. So I'm riding my bike around the

572
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 4: park for hours. I would just I would go down

573
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 4: every path. And again I recognize my privilege there because

574
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 4: I would just go down any path I wanted on

575
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 4: my bike and listen to music. And one day I

576
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 4: was coming around up near the Pavilion movie theater up

577
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 4: in that corner, and I saw, you know, I'm just

578
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 4: having a day. I'm just peddling my bike in the sun,

579
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 4: listen to Stevie Wander. Yeah, blind, Stevie Wonder, such a

580
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 4: talented guy from Motown. And I look over and see

581
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,959
Speaker 4: two grown men crawl out of the ground. What And

582
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 4: I went, what the hell is this? And they just

583
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 4: like kind of look around and shuffle off onto the

584
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 4: sidewalk and go into a Prospect park, I mean, and

585
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 4: go into park slope and I kind of rode over

586
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 4: enough to see that there was like an open man

587
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 4: hole there, and I also saw like toilet paper and

588
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 4: stuff around there. And I told you and Kristen pretty

589
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 4: soon after, like I guess I was probably either going

590
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 4: to hot tubs and hanging out with you guys afterwards

591
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 4: a triple crown or whatever.

592
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 3: And as soon as.

593
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 4: I was like I saw two people come out of

594
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 4: a hole in the ground in Prospect Park, Kristin goes, yeah,

595
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 4: that's mold people, ole people, and I go what, She goes,

596
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 4: Dark Days. Have you seen Dark Days? Do you remember

597
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 4: that documentary?

598
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 3: Dark Days?

599
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: Changed my life?

600
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 4: Like that is amazing, It's so funny that you said

601
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 4: it all this exact same thing. And then Christen's like,

602
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 4: there's a book called the Mole People, And so I

603
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 4: went home. This was like early dumb Internet where you

604
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 4: couldn't just find everything you wanted, but I found Dark

605
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 4: Days and to any of the ban animals around the world,

606
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 4: if you ever want to watch a very interesting documentary

607
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 4: about people who have set up entire lives and camps

608
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 4: in the abandoned tunnels underneath New York City, including underneath

609
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 4: Prospect Park. Dark Days is from like what do you

610
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 4: Think nineteen ninety nine, probably around the E.

611
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: And it was all d Shadow. DJ Shadow lent all

612
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: of his music to it, so it's got a great soundtrack.

613
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 4: And it's people like cooking fried chicken for their relatives

614
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 4: when they come and visit. It's like people being like, yeah,

615
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,719
Speaker 4: my sisters live down here for two years. It's like this,

616
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 4: it's crazy.

617
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: And they built whole houses yeah, like like electricity. Yeah,

618
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: they tap into the electricity, they have running water, they

619
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: have whole houses with multiple rooms. It is fascinating.

620
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, Dark Days it's really worth a watch. It's fair,

621
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 4: but it was so funny that I thought I saw

622
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 4: something groundbreaking and I learned at twenty three or whatever.

623
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 4: Like anything you tell anybody in New York City, they're

624
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 4: gonna be like, yeah, yeah, we know that exists. Yeah

625
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 4: you're like, oh, did you used to be like Scotty,

626
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 4: We're gonna go to queens. There's like a genie doing

627
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 4: a performance and then there's a belly dance and then

628
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 4: there's free shiskabab and I'd be like where, and they're like,

629
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 4: it's in the bottom of an abandoned library, and I'd be.

630
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 3: Like, Kurt, what is your life? But It's true.

631
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 4: Every time you think you've discovered something new about New York,

632
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 4: a thousand people already know about it and somebody has

633
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 4: already made a documentary.

634
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a woman and I'm totally blanking on

635
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: her name now, which is horrible of me, who used

636
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: to run these dinner parties in an abandoned subway station. Incredible,

637
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: And so you would literally enter it was a manhole

638
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: cover in the middle of fucking Atlantic Avenue back when

639
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: Atlantic Avenue there just wasn't that much traffic down there,

640
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: yeah right, And you literally would just come up and

641
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: pop it and go down a thing and then you

642
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: would walk past like two separate, smaller rooms, and then

643
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,479
Speaker 1: you would come into a like like a turn of

644
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: the century subway station and it would be a full

645
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: long table with a candles lit on it, and then

646
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: like a five course meal. It was amazing.

647
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 4: It's amazing. I wonder if that stuff still exists.

648
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 3: I don't know.

649
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: I don't it probably does. It's just farther out. Yeah.

650
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's going to a break. Buddy, teeses into one.

651
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 1: Teesus into a break is advanced AI actually smart quote. No,

652
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:16,479
Speaker 1: it's using the same system as a pigeon double doubt

653
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: on the birds today. I like it.

654
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 4: Alright, Well, we'll soar into these beautiful commercials bananas.

655
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:56,240
Speaker 1: Hey folks, we are back. Scottie. You got any shout

656
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:56,959
Speaker 1: outs for us?

657
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 3: Well?

658
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 4: First April fifteenth, Helium Comedy Club, Import Bananas before dark

659
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 4: at four point thirty with Kurt and I oh yeah,

660
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 4: and then stick around have a BEV with me. I'm

661
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 4: gonna watch Kurt Dews stand up comedy. Make it a

662
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 4: double decker. If you're driving in from say a weird

663
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 4: ass state like Idaho, stay the night see two shows,

664
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 4: yes for the cost of two. Yon that Kyle Richard

665
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,760
Speaker 4: wants to shout out his beautiful wife Megan. He's calling

666
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 4: her beautiful. I've never seen her. I'm assuming she is

667
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 4: for becoming the office leader of the Greater Pacific Northwest

668
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 4: at her company, which is a geology company or something

669
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 4: like that. She's a badass geologist to congratulations Megan again,

670
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 4: your husband says, you're beautiful.

671
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 3: I've never seen you.

672
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time laying on rocks this

673
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: past week with my friend Steve, who is a stone

674
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: sculptor is and just kept asking him over and over again,

675
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: what kind of rock is this? What kind of rock

676
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 1: is this? And his answer repeatedly was I don't know.

677
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: We have to ask a geology. And so I wish

678
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: you were available while I was tripping in the woods

679
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: just a week ago.

680
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 4: Beautiful Jennifer wants to shout out her own natsy shop,

681
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 4: which is called Bodica Diosa or Bodica Diosa. She sells

682
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 4: Curtibe witchcraft, supplies intention candles, spiritual sprays. Who doesn't need that? Yeah,

683
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 4: and she makes her ow jewelry and candles. When we

684
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 4: did Bad Ideas without Them Divine, which is now streaming

685
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 4: on Roku, we evoked a demon, or at least we

686
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 4: tried to. We hired a witch and she came out

687
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 4: and I'm not kidding. Two very strange things happened when

688
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 4: we did it, including a fire sprung up when it

689
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 4: was not supposed to, and everybody looked at each other

690
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 4: and it got very weird. So thank God, there was

691
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 4: I swear to god, I was watching and everybody was

692
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 4: looking around when a fire erupted that was in no

693
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 4: way supposed to erupt. And even the witch looks a

694
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,720
Speaker 4: little weirded out. Wow, So don't try to evoke a demon.

695
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 4: You go to Jennifer's Etsy shop Botica Diosa, Bodica diosa.

696
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: We'll do one more. Yeah, Oh, this one's kind of fun.

697
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 4: Brindle Coprel, which is an incredible wow. I mean, great

698
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 4: name for a human being, great name for a race horse.

699
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 4: Brindle Caperel wants to do a sneaky shout out for

700
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,720
Speaker 4: her brother in law Owen. I think it's sneaky because

701
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 4: she didn't realize that Owen was also a bananimal. She

702
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:32,320
Speaker 4: just found that out recently. Owen got hired to play

703
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 4: in the orchestra of the traveling touring show for Aladdin.

704
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 4: He's a badass brass player and everyone in his life

705
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 4: is pumped for Owen. So congratulations to Bananama Owen for

706
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 4: being our favorite brass playing bananimal.

707
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: Yeah ba BPB be badass brass playing bananimal. Absolutely.

708
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 4: You can always send your stuff into the Bananas podcast

709
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 4: or Instagram. We don't check our Gmail quite as much

710
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 4: as the Instagram, but you can also send it to

711
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 4: the Bananas Podcast at gmail dot com.

712
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 1: All right, you want to hear what this uh this

713
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: AI study found out, Scott.

714
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,760
Speaker 3: It's getting weird. AI is getting weird.

715
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,760
Speaker 1: It really is. It's it's it's it's really coming in fast.

716
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: So Aaron Erdman sent this in the one in Aaron

717
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: the Queen, Now the one Aaron knew this was right

718
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: up my alley. I mean it's AI and birds. How

719
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: I mean like this should be written by me. This

720
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 1: was in sky News.

721
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 3: That's real.

722
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: That's a new that's real. It's written by.

723
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:39,919
Speaker 3: That flying sky News staff.

724
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 4: Nobody wanted to touch the want to touch this one.

725
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 4: The Brits do put the names at the end of

726
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 4: their noticed a lot. Yeah, at the very bottom. It'll

727
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 4: be like.

728
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: Paul Clark and I get Paul Clark did write that.

729
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: Oh I guess related topics wrote this.

730
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 3: Oh well, that's pretty sad.

731
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: The world's best artificial intelligence AIS that is, at the

732
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 1: most basic level, about as smart as a pigeon. New

733
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 1: research suggests no way. Having undertaken a deep study into

734
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: the inner workings of the bird's brain, researchers found that

735
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,839
Speaker 1: the brute force. Techniques they use to learn share similarities

736
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: with AI, much like AI is taught to identify patterns

737
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 1: and objects recognized by humans. The team at the University

738
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: of Iowa discovered pigeons rely on a repetitive trial and

739
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 1: error approach. Tests saw each pigeons shown a stibulus, each

740
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: showing a different pattern, which the pigeons then had to

741
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: categorize by picking one of two buttons. They had to

742
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: do so based on characteristics like line with line angle

743
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: and how the patterns were arranged. A correct answer yielded

744
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: a tasty pellet, but an incorrect response yielded nothing. Eventually,

745
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: the pigeons memorized enough of them to score almost seventy percent.

746
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: You hear all the time about the wonders of AI,

747
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: all the amazing things that can do, said Professor sa

748
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: Wasserman from the university's Psychology and Brain Sciences department. It

749
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: can beat the pants off people playing chess or at

750
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: any video game for that matter. How does it do it?

751
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,760
Speaker 1: Is it smart? Quote? No, it's using the same system

752
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,760
Speaker 1: or an equivalent system to what the pigeon is using here.

753
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: This way of learning through recognition is known as associate

754
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:24,240
Speaker 1: of learning, where humans usually rely on declarative learning. For example,

755
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: most of us don't need to touch a hot stove

756
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: to know that it will hurt, whereas something that relies

757
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 1: on associative learning would meaning a pigeon meaning the pigeon

758
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: will touch the hot stove over and over again, Yes,

759
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:43,320
Speaker 1: it will hailing pigeons as quote like AI, masters, Professor

760
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: Wasserman said, people are wowed by AI doing amazing things

761
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,800
Speaker 1: using a learning algorithm, much like the pigeon. When people

762
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: talk about associate of learning and humans and animals, it's

763
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 1: discounted as rigid and unsophisticated. Of course, where computers can

764
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,919
Speaker 1: go beyond pigeons is in their enormous memory and storage capabilities,

765
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,280
Speaker 1: allowing them to store and process for far more information

766
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: than a pigeon brain could. But at their core, the

767
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: way they learn is much the same, and that's pretty

768
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,839
Speaker 1: much like the end of the article. But what's fascinating

769
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: is that they don't then mention that the main difference

770
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: between pigeon and an AI is that like an AI

771
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: is like having hundreds and hundreds of billions of pigeons

772
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: doing hundreds of billions of pigeon things every millisecond.

773
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, that sounds like that that old doctor Wasserman just

774
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,320
Speaker 4: wanted to get his name in print.

775
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 1: Because it's not the same, dude, it's not the same.

776
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 1: It's like that's like saying like I could fight off

777
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:46,879
Speaker 1: one pigeon, Oh well what about one trillion pigeons? That

778
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,760
Speaker 1: makes you a trillion times per millisecond? Can you fight

779
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 1: that off? No, you're dead, You're done, You're gone.

780
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 4: No, sir, god, that's so funny. Well, I guess that's

781
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 4: I mean, there's a lot of bad news about AI

782
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:00,240
Speaker 4: out there.

783
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 3: So I just watched.

784
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 4: Megan this morning with my ket I made some breakfast,

785
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 4: drink a few cups of coffee, and watched Meghan.

786
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 3: Loved it.

787
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 1: Oh, was it really good?

788
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:09,720
Speaker 3: It's great?

789
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: All right, maybe it's great. It's actually a good movie.

790
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,919
Speaker 4: Like you know when you write movies, you I tried

791
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 4: to just not think about beats. I don't try to

792
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 4: think about twists or story. I just tried to watch

793
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 4: the movie and at the end, I was like, that

794
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 4: was just a good movie. And then I always think

795
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 4: of like how would I have done it? And I'm like,

796
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,359
Speaker 4: they nailed it. They did it better than I ever

797
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 4: would have done it. It really really a fun like

798
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 4: the success it's having and the praise it's getting. It's fun.

799
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 4: Alison Williams is very good in it. Yeah, but it's

800
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:40,879
Speaker 4: also about AI, so you'll like it.

801
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: I think she has a really funny quote. Do we

802
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: talk about this? I don't know if we did. And

803
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: I think it's a New Yorker article where she's being

804
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: interviewed and she's like, and they asked her about the

805
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: whole NEPO baby thing because she's, you know, the daughter of.

806
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,800
Speaker 4: Brian Williams, that disgraced NBC anchor Brian Williams.

807
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:01,479
Speaker 1: Right, he's the one who like made up the story

808
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 1: about the helicopter.

809
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 3: Right, he kept lying.

810
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: I think it's a good dude. But he made a

811
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: big mistake with that. He really did. He just kept musty.

812
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: He must have like said it enough times that it

813
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: felt like it was real in his head and then

814
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,320
Speaker 1: kind of had forgotten. Oh yeah that never happened.

815
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 3: Yes, true.

816
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: I don't know why we are we're giving him the

817
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 1: benefit of the duck because he seemed like an overall

818
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:28,240
Speaker 1: pretty funny Yeah, but her thing about being a NEPO

819
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 1: baby was interesting. She's like, yeah, no, it's true. Yeah,

820
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: I know I had advantages that other people didn't have.

821
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: You know, it doesn't mean that I didn't really work

822
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: hard and try hard and put is just as much

823
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: working as anybody else. But no one can really root

824
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: for me because my dad was famous. I was like,

825
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 1: there it is, Yeah, that's totally.

826
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 3: True, totally self aware, self aware person. I Uh.

827
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 4: Last week I got I had the pleasure of talking

828
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 4: to a high school in Texas for the sixth period

829
00:43:58,360 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 4: creative writing class.

830
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 3: Wow, missus gills writing class. Who's have been animal?

831
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 4: And I think one or two of the students also

832
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:08,360
Speaker 4: listened to the podcast previous to it, Killing high School

833
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 4: and Killing Texas between Dallas and Austin.

834
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:16,720
Speaker 1: Sweet. You know what their mascot is? Who the Kangaroos? Oh? Nice,

835
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 1: great name, killing high school kangaroos. That's okay, hard k

836
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: sound you can root for it.

837
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 3: They're great kids.

838
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:28,839
Speaker 4: I left feeling very optimistic about the future because they

839
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 4: were like smart, questions, respectful kids, all interesting like it was.

840
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 4: It was a great class. It was really fun to do.

841
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 1: Oh that's awesome.

842
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 4: So they're not nepo babies, but that's what I was

843
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 4: saying to them, like I'm an idiot from nowhere.

844
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 3: If I can do it, you can do it.

845
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:45,959
Speaker 1: Which is true. Yeah, it's just a lot easier.

846
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:46,240
Speaker 3: For those people.

847
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 1: Exactly. It's a lot easier if your dad hooks you

848
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:49,720
Speaker 1: up with a job.

849
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and an agent.

850
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 1: My god, all right, give me another one, Scottie. Even

851
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:58,560

00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:00,240
Speaker 1: gonna get through our stories today.

853

Speaker 4: this to me too. This was in Glasgow Live Dot UK.

857
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:20,359
Speaker 4: Classic written by Julia Banham was halfway to Bananamal. It

858
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 4: is yes, miles and miles apart. Yeah, she's the best

859
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 4: in the biz when it comes to this. Shocked bride

860
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 4: finds groom being breastfed by his mother before their wedding ceremony.

861
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: What this is real?

862
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 3: This is real? I found it everywhere.

863
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 4: Oh, it was everywhere, and uh yeah, here we go.

864
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 4: A bride had the shock of her life on her

865
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 4: wedding day and for all the wrong reasons. Wedding planner

866
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 4: Georgie Mitchell appeared on the comedy podcast Unfiltered Bride and

867
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 4: recalled the story of a bride bride finding the groom

868
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 4: being breastfed by his mother on their wedding day.

869
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 1: I meant, it is it? I meant, how do you

870
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: at this point? Yes, it can't be breastfeeding. It's more

871
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 1: that he was sucking on his mom's tits, right.

872
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 3: I do not know. I mean maybe if he never

873
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 3: stopped for.

874
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 1: Twenty he's in his what he's eighteen nineteen.

875
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 4: Uh, it doesn't say here, but let's say, let's assume

876
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 4: he's in his twenties.

877
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if the human god body can sustain

878
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,319
Speaker 1: twenty years straight of breastfeeding.

879
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know either.

880
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,359
Speaker 1: That's it seems like that that that the body can't

881
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 1: handle that. All right, all right, I'm ready to listen, Scottie. Yeah.

882
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 4: As and as pre wedding nightmares go, it was right

883
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:47,439
Speaker 4: up there, leaving both listeners and the host horrified. While

884
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 4: part of any good wedding planner's role is to keep

885
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 4: their counsel while seeing no end of dramas, nothing could

886
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 4: have prepared Jenny for what she was about to witness.

887
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 4: Georgie told the co host Beth quote the bride walked

888
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 4: into the toilet, so the bathroom as we would say

889
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 4: in the States, and what she saw was enough to

890
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:09,479
Speaker 4: end any wedding end quote. Like many, Beth assumed that

891
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:13,320
Speaker 4: the groom had been cheating. Wait, that's a crazy said that.

892
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 4: Like many, Beth had assumed the groom had been cheating

893
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 4: on her in the lose or taking drugs, But in

894
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 4: fact it was much much worse than that, which is debatable.

895
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 4: I mean, if he was cheating on somebody and they

896
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 4: were shooting up with heroin, that's that's a pretty big

897
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 4: whopper compared to well, maybe not.

898
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. It's all kind of yeah,

899
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 1: I think it's all. It's all of the same level.

900
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, less less impactful on the bank account, maybe,

901
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 4: to the listener's horror. Horror, Georgie revealed how the groom

902
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:54,240
Speaker 4: was being breastfed by his mom our mom Disgusted, Beth replied, sorry,

903
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:57,919
Speaker 4: what why would you marry a man who still breastfeeds,

904
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 4: to which Georgie reasoned, I don't think she knew that

905
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 4: was what was happening, meaning up until that point the

906
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 4: bride was in the dark. The podcast host reflected then

907
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 4: on why the mom was still producing milk, and realized

908
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 4: she'd obviously been doing it continuously to get to that point.

909
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 4: Even more surprising, Georgia clarified that the shock bride did

910
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:26,800
Speaker 4: still indeed go ahead with the wedding. She added, everybody

911
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,720
Speaker 4: is in the room waiting, but you definitely wouldn't kiss

912
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,399
Speaker 4: when you said will you kiss the groom or some joke.

913
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:34,800
Speaker 4: They but that bride still got married.

914
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:41,359
Speaker 1: What this is? But there's just no way, there's no

915
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 1: way this is real. There's no fund me. Is it

916
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 1: from Reddit?

917
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:48,320
Speaker 3: No? It was it.

918
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 4: It was I actually googled it because we got it

919
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 4: from so many you know, we got it from lad

920
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 4: Bible and puberty or whatever those are all called.

921
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:57,360
Speaker 3: But then I went and found it.

922
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 4: I'm like, I just picked this one because the woman

923
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 4: the writer's name was Julia Bannam and I was like

924
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 4: a bananimal. She won on a truly arbitrary reason.

925
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 1: Wow, this is I cannot This is amazing and is

926
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:11,800
Speaker 1: in England. It's in England, right.

927
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:13,800
Speaker 3: It's in England. Yeah? Wow yeah.

928
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 4: But to go through the wedding like with the wedding

929
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 4: is isn't that like a It's such a major red flag,

930
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 4: but it's also it's not it is a lie, but

931
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 4: it's also like true withholding where you're like, you didn't

932
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:29,359
Speaker 4: tell me that, Like you and I have a friend

933
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:31,800
Speaker 4: and I might have mentioned this on a podcast before,

934
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 4: but like his wife still doesn't know that he smokes,

935
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 4: and you and I were like, how is that possible?

936
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:39,839
Speaker 1: But he would like.

937
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 4: Rip one cigarette and then like you know, choot twenty

938
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 4: pieces of gum and wash his hands and stuff. And

939
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 4: he was like engaged at the time. And I still

940
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:50,439
Speaker 4: know this guy. He's a really nice guy. But there's

941
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 4: a point where you're like, just tell your wife that

942
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:54,320
Speaker 4: you smoke one cigarette a day.

943
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 3: You weird?

944
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:59,280
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, once, be honest, And that's way more normal

945
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 4: than suck on your mom's ample bosom.

946
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 1: That is, I just don't there's something for that long.

947
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,880
Speaker 1: That's the craziest part as well, is that that means

948
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 1: that because the because you know, as famously as a

949
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 1: long breastfed child Game of the Throne's length breastfed child,

950
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: my mom breastfed means till I was three years old.

951
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 3: I thought it was longer than that. No, three seems

952
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 3: I bet three spot three.

953
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 1: I have a three year old it's insane.

954
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:37,320
Speaker 3: Okay, that's one opinion.

955
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 1: It's it's it's a very very, very long time. Yes,

956
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: I understand why it happened. I think it was, you know,

957
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:49,800
Speaker 1: trauma related for my mom and for me because of

958
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 1: a divorce and stuff like that and moving halfway across

959
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 1: the country. But it is still fascinating. The reason it

960
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:56,840
Speaker 1: stopped was just because I went away for two weeks,

961
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: Like I went to see my dad for two weeks,

962
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 1: and in two weeks after three years, in two weeks,

963
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 1: it was like, there's no more milk, it's over, it

964
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 1: doesn't happen anymore. Here's a cheeseburger bud get used to exactly.

965
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: And so that means that these two people, if this

966
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: is true, if this is if he's actually getting nourishment

967
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:17,800
Speaker 1: out of this woman's breasts, that means they haven't been apart.

968
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 1: He's never taken a two week pause. He's never gone

969
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 1: on vacation. He's never he's never gone to college for

970
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 1: two weeks. He's never done anything longer than two weeks.

971
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 1: Like that's crazy.

972
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 4: Yes, that means like after work, he doesn't go to

973
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 4: the pub and have a couple of pints with the boys,

974
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 4: he goes over his mom's house and you know, gets

975
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:42,479
Speaker 4: a pint of breast milk and then head's on home.

976
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:45,360
Speaker 4: And he always eats a light dinner surprisingly, just a salad.

977
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:47,280
Speaker 3: Crazy.

978
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 1: That is a wild way crazy. I do wonder what

979
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: his immune system is, like, I bet you his immune

980
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:53,400
Speaker 1: systems amazing.

981
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,959
Speaker 4: Yes, it just bones, just bones, like a six foot

982
00:51:57,040 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 4: six penguin, bulletproof bones on this man.

983
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 1: You can shoot him eight times and he will live

984
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 1: because he's been breastfed for twenty years.

985
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 4: I went to this fun little wedding as a plus

986
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:11,719
Speaker 4: one in Brooklyn once and a friend was just like, hey,

987
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 4: we beat my date. I was like sure, and so

988
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 4: I went. I was like, well, it's a couple. Like

989
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 4: she was like, they're really weird in a great way.

990
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:20,760
Speaker 4: You're gonna like him, and I did, and this happens,

991
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,359
Speaker 4: and it's weird when you see it, but it's not so.

992
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 4: The groom was about five foot four and the bride

993
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:28,840
Speaker 4: was about six feet tall.

994
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 1: Like they were just like that.

995
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:32,800
Speaker 4: And you know, when they're standing there at the altar,

996
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 4: it does look interesting. It looks unfamiliar, but it shouldn't be.

997
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 4: But it was like they were just a love They

998
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 4: loved each other so deeply. Yeah, it's great wedding right

999
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 4: downtown Brooklyn. And when the everything was totally normal until

1000
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:52,359
Speaker 4: the dancing started during the reception, and like it's one

1001
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:56,279
Speaker 4: of the grooms men was the DJ, and he gets

1002
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 4: up there and they're playing music and then the DJ

1003
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 4: just yells Toboggan and the whole floor clears, and I

1004
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:05,319
Speaker 4: guess it was like a family thing. And all the

1005
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:08,320
Speaker 4: men the family sat on their butts with in the

1006
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 4: middle of the dance floor with their legs of the

1007
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 4: guy behind them up along their side, so like six

1008
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 4: or eight guys long, and then pretended to row like

1009
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 4: they were canoeing, and all butt scooted across the dance

1010
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 4: floor and then yelled Toboggan, got up, rotated, and then

1011
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 4: butt scooted while pretending to row across the dance floor.

1012
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,719
Speaker 3: I know, And which isn't that.

1013
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:34,360
Speaker 4: It's like, you know, usually one guy does the worm,

1014
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:38,400
Speaker 4: or somebody can walk, or a girl hold her ankle

1015
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:39,799
Speaker 4: in the back of her head and do that weird

1016
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:42,920
Speaker 4: herky jerky thing. But they were just yelled toboggan, and

1017
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 4: that was the tradition. And I saw the bride and

1018
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 4: the groom was in the front, and the bride loved it.

1019
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 4: She was like flapping and cheering. And I saw a

1020
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:53,720
Speaker 4: few wives who hadn't seen the old toboggan butt scoot

1021
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 4: before dry up like a raisin in the sud It

1022
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:02,479
Speaker 4: was like but like, just imagine eight small Italian men

1023
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 4: sitting on their butts on an empty dance floor in

1024
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 4: suits without jackets, butt to crotch, legs in front, and

1025
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 4: then just butts butt scoot butt while pretending to road

1026
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:16,320
Speaker 4: invisible could do.

1027
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 1: I want to know where it came from so badly, tomargan.

1028
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 1: Is that from the old country or was that just

1029
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 1: a drunken thing someone did one night and everyone thought

1030
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 1: it was hilarious.

1031
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 4: I think it's that, and I never asked because I

1032
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 4: was laughing too hard. But that's why it's so fun

1033
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 4: to go to any wedding, because every family is weird

1034
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 4: if you spend enough time with it. Yeah, everybody listening

1041
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 4: I mean they were butt scooting, not using their hands,

1042
