Speaker 3: the end of the day, we're what they're out there

32
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 3: to do, and what they're trying so hard to do

00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 3: is just take that ball and yard by yard move

34
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: it down the field. That's what it's all about.

35
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: Absolutely well said and honestly smarter than the sport of

36
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 2: football is. It's grown men down and helping themselves back

37
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 2: up and then falling down again.

38
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,359

00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,840

Speaker 2: at home? Are you going to go watch with your dad?

66
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 3: Be honest, I wish I could go watch with my

67
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 3: dad because that I've ingested over the holiday breaks so

68
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 3: much football watching with my dad where he has it

69
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 3: directly in his hearing aids straight into his head, so

70
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 3: it's silent in the room.

71
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 4: Wow, literally just watching it.

72
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 3: And then I was on TikTok, but I accidentally kicked

73
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 3: myself off and can't get back on now. So yeah,

74
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 3: we had the perfect kind of like football ingesting system

75
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 3: set up. So that's how I started memorizing lines like

76
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 3: we just got to move, They've just got to move

77
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 3: the ball down the field. They said this state, those

78
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 3: generalized statements that those announcers say with full like passion

79
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: and conviction, and their voice is truly the most entertaining

80
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 3: thing to me.

81
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 4: I love it.

82
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a great, great joy. And how bad Tom

83
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: Brady is at announcing he signed a mega contract, he

84
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 2: announces games, and he's terrible at it. And the relief

85
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 2: I feel knowing that he is awful at something just

86
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 2: makes me so happy.

87
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 4: Also, it's so gutsy.

88
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 3: That's like acting like that's easy, when in fact, to

89
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 3: bullshit that way for what two and a half hours

90
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 3: is at least you have to have kind of a

91
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 3: mega mind, Like you can't just.

92
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: Be jump to the experts who bullshit for two and

93
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: a half hours. Okay, we know how hard it is

94
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: to bullshit for two and a half hours.

95
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 4: Not sweating blood over here, we are suffering.

96
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: For podcasts, I am so grateful that not only my

Speaker 2: something that you do a couple stories that we do

99
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,599

100
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: a podcast that is just chat boy sometimes can really

101
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,800

00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 3: Like my control issues kick in and I start kind

103
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 3: of like quietly producing them, where I'm just like, just

104
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 3: ask the question and stop talking, like all those weird

105
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,280

00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: answer that. You could say you're doing good, or you

115
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: can really go personal and tell me something deep and

Speaker 1: of the rules, Oh yeah, adding that he was ready

161
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: to reimburse the hospital if his actions proved costly.

162
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 2: Oh.

163
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: I like this guy. And then the last quote, being

164
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: a doctor means carrying out a mission the driving forces

165
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: precisely the life that flows in the eyes of those

166
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: who trust themselves to your care. He is a poet,

167
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: and this life flows in every living being. If my

168
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: cat had died, I would never have been able to

169
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: forgive myself, especially because my children adore her.

170
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: I failed to see if there were if it was

171
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 2: after hours, and the guy can do the surgery.

172
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: And the cat lived. What's it all out? Yeah, this

173
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: is a great story. You should be like, not only

174
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: are cat scans great, it's save this cat too.

175
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 4: And what's the argument?

176
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 3: Do you think is that, like that it's unsanitary that

177
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 3: a cat would go into a human cat scan or like,

178
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 3: what's the problem with any of it?

179
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I have no idea that it's inappropriate.

180
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, don't Italians do inappropriate things

181
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: all the time?

182
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't we? Who doesn't humanity as a whole?

183
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: Like he's tried to cover for me. He doesn't want

184
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: eddy Italians to be so scared of adultans.

185
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 4: I had an Italian waiter, no brag.

186
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 3: I went to Italy and got to go on a

187
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 3: trip there and I had an Italian waiter. I tried

188
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 3: to order prosecco and it was like six pm and

189
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 3: he was like no, no, no, no, like.

190
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 4: Straight up told me no.

191
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 3: Those people have rules and regulations and they follow them.

192
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 4: It is wild.

193
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: Like what would he give you instead?

194
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 3: I think you were just supposed to drink wine because

195
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 3: it was like dinner and it was not the afternoon.

196
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 3: It was some shit like that where I was so

197
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 3: taken aback and of course horrified that I was just like,

198
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,599
Speaker 3: I was just trying to have a sip of champagne

199
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 3: before I eat spaghetti.

200
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 4: Forget it.

201
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,479
Speaker 1: Oh was that in Italy or was that in America?

202
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: It was in Italy. No, no, no, no, no no.

203
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

204
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: I had an Italian person do that, an Italian waiter

205
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: do that in Brooklyn where my wife and I were

206
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: like two void casdas please, and he's like, no, no,

207
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: no, no no, with your meal, you drink a wine. I

208
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: get you wine. And I was like, we don't want wine,

209
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 1: and then we ended up drinking wine because he was

210
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: very insistent.

211
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 2: Didn't want to get drunk, sir, we don't want to

212
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 2: get a little loopy. We're trying to get hammered and

213
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: eat as much pasta as we could fit into our bodies.

214
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 2: But this is a huge This company or this hospital

215
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 2: is doing it so wrong. It's a cat scan. They

216
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 2: put a cat in there. A cat scan machine looks

217
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 2: relatively like a doughnut that a board slides in and

218
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 2: out of. Decorate it to look like a cat's behind,

219
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 2: put a big furry tail out, and then make your

220
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: whole business that you can end and go out of

221
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 2: actual cats, but and they will have lines out the door.

222
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 2: This is just a bad branding in marketing.

223
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 4: Although I think I could definitely be wrong. Italy doesn't have.

224
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 3: Privatized hospitals there. It's public, so maybe that's the issue.

225
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 2: You get it.

226
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 3: They're like it's all governmental, kind of like we say

227
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 3: what cat goes where in that kind of Whereas the

228
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 3: capitalistic point of view, those cat scans absolutely should and

229
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 3: would exist and would be the most popular in America

230
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 3: if we would just make them here.

231
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 2: I have an ignorant question international ban animals. I have

232
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 2: an ignorant question. When you have free healthcare, as you

233
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 2: do and we wish we did, does that are veterinarians

234
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 2: also free? Or do you have to pay for your animals?

235
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: Good question, great question. I love that question.

236
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 2: Have you ever thought I had never thought about that

237
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 2: until Karen was just saying that. So do you are

238
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 2: your dogs and cats and horses taken care of or

239
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 2: do you have to pay out a pocket for that

240
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 2: and make appointments and all that. That's I have no

241
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 2: idea what the answer is, to be honest.

242
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 3: Me either, And I also don't know if Italian medicine

243
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 3: is not privatized, I truly don't know what I'm talking

244
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 3: about almost ever, so I was just kind of throwing

245
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 3: that out there.

246
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm a guess it's it's not I'm guess it's

247
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: the government as.

248
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 4: Well, right, but it's almost everybody that has that.

249
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: Also, they should make this man the mayor. He should

250
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: be the mayor.

251
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 2: Or the just the mayor.

252
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: Rescue, make the cat the mayor.

253
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 3: That cat survived, survive the sixth story fall. The cat

254
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 3: should be to have a parade every year.

255
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: I love this. I think that we have two great ideas.

256
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 2: Italy provides free healthcare to its citizens and legal residents

257
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 2: through the National Health Service, the Cervicio Senate, Senatorio Nazional

258
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 2: or SSN. Good for you, Italy, nice work.

259
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: Hey, hey, Scott, he is a member of a Do

261
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:56,760

Speaker 3: like forty five minutes later whatever, and it was like

277
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 3: walking into a big Italian wedding with no wedding. Actually,

278
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 3: so it's a live band, people dancing round tables with

279
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 3: numbers on them, everybody chittier, chattering away.

280
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,480

329
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 2: I got in, because they were like, what are we doing?

330
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,880

Speaker 2: like they just do a meeting where everybody can come,

333
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 2: and there was a group of older Italian women like

334
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 2: I'm talking older, like eighty plus who sit there with

335

339
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 2: Maybe they were bookkeepers, maybe they just ran their household bookkeeping.

340
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 2: But it's so adorable, these four little what is it

341

385
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 2: But they had a thing that I've never seen anywhere

386
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: else where. They had a light switch and you could

387
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 2: turn it on and would put a light on over

388
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 2: your table to alert the server's server that you needed service.

389

390
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,840

452
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 2: at an empty CRI speak green parking lot might not

453
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 2: seem like an ideal spot to give birth. That's true,

454
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 2: actually true, But for Shanaya Bennett, which was a cool name,

455
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 2: it ended up being the perfect place. When Bennett went

456
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 2: into labor during her second day of a historic winter

457
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 2: snowstorm in Alabama, she was determined to make it to

458
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 2: the hospital. I wanted that epidural, Bennett.

459
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,880

Speaker 2: I had an epidural once when I had a kidney stone,

461
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 2: and it was confusing to not be able to move

462
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 2: the lower half of my body. It was pretty interesting.

463
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 2: It lasted a long time because they did it during

464
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 2: they I had the kidneyston removed and then I woke up,

465
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 2: So at least was five hours because I woke back

466
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 2: up and I could I was looking at my feet

467
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 2: and trying so hard to move my toes and couldn't.

468
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 2: It was an interesting experience.

00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 2: go up the old fun ride and then they zap

474
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 2: it with a laser and then a laser.

475
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 4: How big was it? Scotty compare it to a thing

476
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 4: in our world.

477
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't that big. It was, oh god, no

478
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 2: it was. It was about the size of an apostrophe

479
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 2: in a novel.

480
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: An apostrophe in a novel. Okay, thank you, thank you.

481
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 2: So it was two millimeters by four millimeters, but then

482
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 2: it had a nine millimeter side, and that's why they

483
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 2: were like, we should blast this thing. I said, sure,

484
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 2: I have to go to a wedding tomorrow, and I did.

485
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 2: I got I got that epidural out, I got my

486
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,959
Speaker 2: dance and shoes back on, and I dance floor.

487
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: And then and the bride and groom did not know

488
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: you later tell them.

489
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't tell them till after they were married

490
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 2: because I didn't want anybody to pay attention to me.

491
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 2: So I went to the cocktail hour and I see

492
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 2: photos from that wedding. My eyes are so glazed from morphine,

493
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 2: from like heavy painkillers, and like, I had so many

494
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 2: conversations with parents where I'm like, boy, I don't remember

495
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 2: that person.

496
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 3: Exist You're like Wesley and the Princess Bride, where you're

497
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 3: totally frozen and trying to pretend like nothing's happening. You

498
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 3: might get up at any moment it.

499
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 2: Was, and I was actually a little afraid, like when

500
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 2: the band started to play to dance, because like, yeah,

501
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 2: like five or six hours earlier, my legs wouldn't work.

502
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 2: And then so I was like, I don't want to

503
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 2: like step to the right and then just keep on

504
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 2: going and they'd be like, oh, he's a sad, alcoholic man.

505
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 2: I wanted that epidural, Bennett said. She's twenty three years

506
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 2: of age, with her partsner Kean Mitchell behind the wheel

507
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 2: and their four year old son Legend in the back seat.

508
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 2: So they have great name. This whole family is just

509
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 2: a name machine gun.

510
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 4: They're already doing it. Yeah.

511
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 2: Bennett did everything she could not to panic, but her

512
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 2: contractions were coming fast and furious. The roads were so

513
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,479
Speaker 2: icy that the drive was taking a lot longer than

514
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 2: normally would and it felt like every light was turning red.

515
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 2: As soon as we got to the stop line, Bennett recalls.

516
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 2: Then suddenly Bennett felt the baby's head between her legs.

517
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 3: I mean, Jesus, wow, does I say how many other

518
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 3: children she had one?

519
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 2: I think, uh, maybe there's no one at the book.

520
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 2: I think Shony has one. Legend. She felt the baby's

521
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 2: head between her legs. At that point, Bennett instructed Mitchell

522
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 2: to pull over at a parking lot. It was a

523
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 2: nearby Krispy Kreme. There would be no epidural, no delivery

524
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 2: room for that matter. Bennett says, I was like, I

525
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 2: can't believe this is happening.

526
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: Wow, that's right, that's amazing that I mean, like, is

527
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: I wonder if it's the first if it's her first child, No.

528
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 2: It's her second child. Had a four year old. She

529
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 2: has a four year old son. And minutes later there

530
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 2: were four people in the car writing Rachel Paul abers

531
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 2: she she ran the numbers. Yeah, yeah, and that's why

532
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 2: she's the best in the business. Bennett and Mitchell named

533
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 2: their second child Dallas Emir, but the entire family has

534
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 2: been calling him Glaze.

535
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: Blaze Bennett great name, it's great and also a good

536
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: story for the for the name. Why are you named Glaze?

537
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: Born in a donut factory?

538
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 2: Bennett? So the Krispy Kreme name inspired nickname suits him well.

539
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 2: He's so sweet, he rarely cries. He's just a chill,

540
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 2: happy little guy. At the hospital, Glaze measured five pounds

541
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 2: fourteen ounces, so that's six pounds. We can round up

542
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 2: there and was given an absolute clean bill of health, and,

543
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 2: according to Krispy Kreme, Glaze is the first baby they

544
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 2: know of to have the donut chain listed as their

545
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 2: place of birth on a birth certificate.

546
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: Wow, pretty cool.

547
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 4: Are they going to get something?

548
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: They better get something.

549
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 2: Krispy Kreme athlete Krispy Kream heard about Bennett's extraordinary birth.

550
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 2: It awarded the family a supply of free donuts for

551
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 2: one year.

552
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: Boo Krispy Cream. Boo Blaze gets it for life life, Yeah, Blaze,

553
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: you idiots.

554
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 2: Here's the one thing they did do. Okay. The company

555
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 2: also pledged to host Glaze's birthday party every January twenty second,

556
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 2: So he's gonna have a free birthday party at as

557
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 2: of his life for the rest of his life.

558
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: By age ten, he will not be interested. But actually,

559
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. By age six, he will no longer be

560
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: interested in having his birthday party at Crispy.

561
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 3: Here you're like, I can't look at another donut, Please

562
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 3: stop rewarding.

563
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 4: Me with this.

564
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, the inside of Krispy Kremes are not very inviting

565
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,439
Speaker 2: for children. They smell great, it's fun to see the

566
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 2: donut go by, but there's nothing to do there it's

567
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 2: just sticky chairs and sticky tables.

568
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 3: So they're not really they're not really kids donuts. And

569
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 3: in my opinion, I know there's like a pink one probably,

570
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 3: but to me it's like, here's donuts for adults that

571
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 3: like love dessert and want something like an innovation, or

572
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 3: for us because we got Krispy Kreme so late, it

573
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 3: was like a kind of.

574
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: Don't where is Christy Cream from? I feel like everywhere

575
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 1: got it late.

576
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 2: I don't know, but it feels like it feels like

577
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 2: a Florida business to me. But let's find out.

578
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: Because I remember when they came to the East Coast,

579
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 1: I was like, well, well, well, well, well look at

580
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: this kind.

581
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 2: They were founded in Winstam Salem, North Carolina South. He

582
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 2: was a New Orleans based chef named Vernon Rudolph. It's

583
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 2: an educational podcast.

584
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 3: People learn a lot, there's takeaway, there's information, there.

585
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 2: Is and there are still fourteen hundred locations, which is

586
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 2: honestly mind boggling. It's hard to imagine in my lifetime.

587
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 2: Maybe Dippin' Dots. Is there a business that came out

588
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 2: of nowhere, showed up, was everywhere, and then contracted and

589
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 2: went away. Krispy Kreme's up there.

590
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: So guess what what Dippin' dots lives on? What Dippin'

591
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,719
Speaker 1: dots lives on? You can't get it anywhere except in

592
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: gas stations. Oh now, and my kids fucking love dippin' dots.

593
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: You can get it at gas stations and like amusement parks,

594
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: and that is the only place Dippin' dot exists now.

595
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 3: Weirdly, and I think I've only seen other people eat dippin' dots,

596
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 3: like at a you know, amusement park when I was

597
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 3: a kid. Is that like a thing where your kids

598
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 3: are in the backseat with a spoon and a little cup,

599
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 3: and there's the little dots are just in a cup.

600
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: No, so they got rid of the cup and now

601
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: it's like a gross bag and so they're just with

602
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: a spoon and a gross bag, and no one eats

603
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: the dippin' dots. So the dippin' dots have like congealed

604
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: a little bit in the bag. Oh and you look

605
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: at the ingredients and there is not a single actual food.

606
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 2: Item that is made up of dippin' dots.

607
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: It is just chemicals from the start to the end,

608
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: and they're like, yeah, they love it, Eddie Moore. Chemically

609
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: a thing tastes the more children are like, this is

610
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: my favorite thing and if I can't have this, I'm

611
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: gonna lose my mind.

612
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

613
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: Wow, it's so weird because it's made it's made for that.

614
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: I'll tease us into a thumbs up.

615
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 2: Well, I love that, you know what.

616
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say this. I'm gonna say this about

617
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: speak Kurt.

618
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 2: It's a free country sort of.

619
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 4: Whatever tread on you, don't trud on yourself.

620
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: Don't tread on myself. Whatever happened to Elvis is Teddy Bear,

621
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: and that's it's just teasing you. It's just teasing you.

622
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 2: Because they had that song Teddy Bear, right, that was

623
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 2: I saw great karaoke once. If a guy singing that song,

624
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 2: he was.

625
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: You're gonna love this story.

626
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 2: I'm obsessed. Here's some thumbs up, Kendall. Clark says, thumbs up, bitches.

627
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 2: Oh yes, Kendall, that's a good way to start it.

628
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 2: Kendall is giving herself a huge thumbs up for going

629
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 2: to p A school. I don't know.

630
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: Exactly what physicians assistant there.

631
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 2: We go less than fifty percent of applicants are accepted nationwide.

632
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 2: Kendall got in. She's well on her way to achieving

633
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 2: her dream as being a healthcare provider. Right on combs

634
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 2: up to you. Kendall's wonderful.

635
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: Yes, I wonder how long it becomes it takes to

636
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: become a physician's assistant. Like, I guess eight years. Your

637
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: guess is eight years. I think it's less than eight years,

638
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: because I think, like eight years is maybe a doctor.

639
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: And I think, and that's the advantage of a PA

640
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: is that there's a little less there's less schooling, so

641
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: that there's more of them. And I find them to

642
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: be honestly, honestly, oftentimes more helpful than doctors because they

643
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: spend more time with you. I like a PO. I

644
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: don't mind them at all. Anyway, what I was saying

645
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: is I want to become a PA later in life.

646
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: It would be funny to just like, at sixty, just

647
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: be like I became a kind of a doctor.

648
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 3: But also are you saying that so you want to

649
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 3: become one, But you're like, no, no, I'm not.

650
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 4: Going to do it for eight years. It's got to

651
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 4: be three.

652
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, if it's if I can go to

653
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: school for three years and then start treating illnesses. It's

654
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: so funny. I love doing that.

655
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,719
Speaker 4: Did you hear Kurt became a doctor. Yeah, I guess.

656
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 4: I guess he wanted to be a doctor.

657
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 2: She's funny. He's funny. He tells jokes the whole time.

658
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 2: Let's see, here's a fun one. Selena Tucker wants to

659
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 2: thomb her mom, Sharon up. Sharon is a bananimal and

660
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 2: the most caring and thoughtful human who also has a

Speaker 3: U l h.

675
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 2: I'm guessing the name of moholland is thumbing up her

676
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 2: best friend Kelsey. Kelsey is a survivor. She went to

677
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 2: She survived a surgery complication after losing an incredible two

678
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 2: and ten pounds. Oh my god, whoa good for you, Kelsey.

679
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 2: There was eternal bleeding during the surgery. Less than one

680
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 2: percent chance that would happened. It happened. She spent four

681
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 2: days in the ICU, I believe, but she is now

682
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 2: living her best life as a snatched battie. Kelsey thumbs up,

683
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,360

Speaker 4: You Kelsey, way to go, thumbs up.

685
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,680

686
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 2: are starting to get it, okay. And then I had

687
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 2: to do this one. While we have Karen Kilgareth with us.

688
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 2: Haroen is thumbing themselves up for finally changing their name.

689
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 2: Haron never liked their old name, and after a year

690
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 2: searching for a new one, they chose Heron because as birds,

691
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 2: Heron's managed to be beautiful and graceful while also looking

692
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 2: awkward and uncomfortable. So I just need to say Heron's

693
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 2: full name for you too. According to the Internet, Haron

694
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 2: Kalilang Lacroix. Haron Kalalang Lacroix is the full name, and

695
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 2: thumbs up to you for choosing your own destiny. You're

696
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:34,160

00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: Hell, absolutely hellumbs up.

698
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 4: Did Haron say what their original name was?

699
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 3: Uh?

700
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 1: And I didn't hear did it?

701
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 2: No? They didn't. I believe it was like Eli. Possibly.

702
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 3: I was just wondering if it was if Aaron had

703
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 3: been a Karen and couldn't take the pressure that we've

704
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 3: been under for the last decade and tried to get

705
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 3: out of the Karen group, which I understand entirely.

706
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not a Karen.

707
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: I'm a bird.

708
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 4: I'm a gorgeous harr but also weird.

746
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 3: But also the thing I was, it's like, what interest

747
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 3: do you have that's so affecting to you that you

748
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 3: are going to shell out levels of I mean obviously

749
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 3: these just obviously swimming it, but like that idea of

750
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 3: like I can't focus my mind on one thing long

751
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 3: enough to even like love it, much less spend almost

752
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 3: a one hundred grand on it just to have one

753
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 3: version of like.

754
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,839
Speaker 2: That's so crazy all the way. Because when I see

755
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 2: a car in Los Angeles, which is the car eiest

756
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 2: car capital of the United States that I know for

757
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 2: a fact, is worth three hundred thousand dollars or more,

758
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 2: in my mind instantly because I was broke for so long,

759
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 2: thinks of how many months of rent I could pay, yeah,

760
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 2: or how many vacations I could take. I see a

761
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 2: car and I'm like, oh, I could go on thirty

762
00:37:55,280 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 2: ten thousand dollars vacation, like a lifetime of incredible third

763
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 2: ucations or just drive around and fart in a car.

764
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: I mean, and the driving experience, yeah, you're still a

765
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: draffic The driving experience between a three hundred thousand dollars

766
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: car and a thirty thousand dollars car is so miniscule, correct,

767
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: it is so small. Ough.

768
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 3: I know somebody, no brag the bought a it was

769
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 3: either a Maserati or a Lamborghini, one of those crazy ones.

770
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,919
Speaker 3: And they I was in the car with them. They

771
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 3: drove it off the lot where we were working and

772
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 3: immediately bottomed out yes hard yeah, and returned the car

773
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,479
Speaker 3: because it was like, oh, this is the only It's

774
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 3: just going to be like this the entire time.

775
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 4: Where I'm like, right, these are race cars for the racetrack.

776
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 3: Non Los Angeles with the potholes and the lunacy, Like

777
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 3: what are you doing?

778
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: Also like those cars are so low to the ground

779
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: that if you hit another car, that car just drives

780
00:38:58,440 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 1: over you.

781
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 4: You're under the escalade.

782
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: You're just a ramp for an escalade to just launche

783
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 1: itself off of.

784
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:09,720
Speaker 2: It's also just it's like how drag queens just dressed

785
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 2: like extreme femininities, like they take what is feminine goes

786
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 2: to such an extreme that it becomes cartoonish, Like those

787
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 2: hot rod cars and loud cars and race cars are

788
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 2: the same thing. It's masculinely taken to this extreme. So

789
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 2: it's just like parading themselves around, like look at me

790
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 2: being the most man, and to me it reverses the

791
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 2: whole thing. I'm like, you're a nerd. I would push

792
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 2: you down the stairs if I could.

793
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: Here it is, are you ready? Okay?

794
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 2: So?

795
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 1: Uh seventy five thousand dollars in Elvis memorial auction in

796
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: ex Tennessee. The Bears required twenty four hour uniform security

797
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: and highly trained guard dogs. One Tuesday night, security guard

798
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 1: Greg West and six year old Doberman Barney were on duty.

799
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:02,280
Speaker 1: While a distracted West was busy stroking Elvis's Teddy Barney

800
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:07,919
Speaker 1: went ape shit. Oh no, he just went berserk, said

801
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 1: Daniel Medley, the general manager of the museum. West spent

802
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: several minutes chasing Barney before wrestling him to the ground.

803
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 1: By that point, Barney had destroyed one hundred Teddy Bears,

804
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: including Mabel. Oh quote, I still can't. I love this

805
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: so much, It's deep in my heart. How much I

806
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: love this too? I still can't believe what happens, said

807
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 1: mister West. Either it was a quote rogue scent that

808
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 1: quote switched on Barney's deepest instinct, or it could have

809
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: been jealousy. I was stroking Mabel and saying what a

810
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: good girl.

811
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 2: She was.

812
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 3: Ill ill, I mean real.

813
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, Barney's massacre ripped bear heads and limbs from the

814
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 1: toy animals and left stuffing all over the museum floor.

815
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 1: Poor Mabel was decapitated. Quote. I've spoken to the bear's

816
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 1: owner and he is not very pleased at all, he said.

817
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,439
Speaker 1: When asked about the fate of Barney, mister Medley said,

818
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: quote dogs are now banned from the Teddybear collapse.

819
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have to say I did.

820
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 4: I did not see it coming.

821
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 3: When you first started talking about this, I was like,

822
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 3: of course, I forgot what the headline was, so I

823
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 3: was kind of like, oh, what is this.

824
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 4: I thought it was someone.

825
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 3: Stole the bear, So I'm like, oh, what a robber's

826
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 3: going to break into the situation, And it's like, no,

827
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 3: of course, You've got a dog sitting there and stuffed animals.

828
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 4: That's all my dogs want to do.

829
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 1: Of course, And also that is why I chose the

830
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: Instagram post from a history of Dogs, because every other

831
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: one starts with dog destroys Teddy Bear, and it's like,

832
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,800
Speaker 1: if you don't want to, let's get into the story first.

833
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,879
Speaker 1: Now dom teddy bears are and then we'll get into

834
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:55,240
Speaker 1: the dog. Yes, seventy five thousand.

835
00:41:54,920 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 2: Dollars, it's I'm sure it's a great passion for many people.

836
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 2: But like a Teddy Bear. I tried as a kid,

837
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 2: did you guys have a bear or a blanket or

838
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 2: something that was your companion? Karen? What was yours?

839
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 4: I did.

840
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 3: I had a little off brand Winnie the Pooh that was,

841
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 3: and I had it for a long time.

842
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 4: I had it into adulthood. But it I used to carry.

843
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,800
Speaker 3: It around in such a way that the nose got moved,

844
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 3: like shoved up because I had it right in like

845
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 3: on my side.

846
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 4: Kind of.

847
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 3: It was very comforting, just that this comforting perfect and

848
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 3: it smelled perfect. It was the smell mostly that I

849
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 3: love so much, and somewhere in my insane twenties it

850
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 3: got lost, along with a bunch of other very meaningful

851
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 3: things that I had with me but should not have

852
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 3: and should have left at my parents' house. That one's

853
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 3: a killer for sure.

854
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. I breasted until I was three, so I

855
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: didn't have any stompies. I just had breasts boobs. You

856
00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: had the real deal, yeah, the original, the original stuffed animal.

857
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: I just could never get one of stick. I chied

858
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: with a snoopy for a while. I just did stick.

859
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 1: I just went to sleep too fast. I didn't need

860
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 1: any comfort. I was just like my parents would throw

861
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: like parties in the eighties, and they'd have friends over,

862
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 1: and then they would be.

863
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 2: Like where where Scott where Scott? And I would already

864
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 2: I would just walk into the bedroom and put myself

865
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 2: to sleep and turn off the light. At like eight pm.

866
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 2: I'd be like, I'm done.

867
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 3: You people, you people, Yes, it's a classic care killed garafly.

868
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 1: Oh you men, you, oh, you men.

869
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 3: You meant a little scotty saying that to a party

870
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 3: full of eighties parents drinking a gin.

871
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:40,280
Speaker 2: And tonics holding a little bread with a little futon

872
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:46,240
Speaker 2: on a long futon for you men. I just always

873
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 2: like to sleep.

874
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to ask, does either of

875
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 1: us aren't collect anything?

876
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 2: Do you collect anything? Kurpiside surfboards?

877
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,359
Speaker 1: No, just surfboards. But you know I only have ten

878
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: I think ten, So I don't. I feel like that's

879
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: a big collection.

880
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 3: Are you comp comparing yourself to Blanke Patch and his

881
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 3: guitars and you're.

882
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 4: Like that that's nothing.

883
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: Ten's nothing. They do take up a lot of space.

884
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 2: Or Joe DeRosa and his everything. Like I went over

885
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 2: and recorded a podcast and he had every video game

886
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 2: console that they've ever made, and it took me so

887
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 2: long to process. I kept looking at it like it

888
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 2: was almost like stay like staging for an apartment, like, hey,

889
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 2: look at all this came with the place. And I'm like, no,

890
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 2: I don't have anything.

891
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:30,800
Speaker 1: Man, do you collect anything, Karen?

892
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 3: I don't. Although it's funny because when you said stife,

893
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 3: like that brand of stife Teddy Bear over the holidays

894
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 3: that my hometown has turned into a little bit of

895
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,919
Speaker 3: like a it's like slightly fancy. So there's way more

896
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 3: antique stores and then there ever were when I lived there.

897
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 3: And so I was in an anting store, just like

898
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 3: killing time before a hair appointment or something, and they

899
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 3: had it was a Christmas display right in the front,

900
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,359
Speaker 3: and they had this little lion and it is like

901
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 3: about that big and I immediately saw it and went

902
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 3: to it and picked it up and it was like

903
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 3: perfectly hand sized, so it's like it and it was

904
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 3: the cutest just I can't really explain it. I could.

905
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,439
Speaker 4: I probably have a picture I can show you, but it.

906
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 3: Was stife and I immediately I like had to buy

907
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 3: it immediately. It was like fifty bucks or something, and

908
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 3: then I'm like, I bet you this will probably be overpriced,

909
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:27,760
Speaker 3: but I just love it and it's such a cool

910
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,879
Speaker 3: antique looking thing. It's also just kind of sweet because

911
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 3: it's so small. And then I started looking it up,

912
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 3: but I'm like, oh, this is what's so interesting about

913
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 3: collecting is because it was like, oh, this stife has

914
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 3: a stitch nose instead of a plastic nose, so it's

915
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 3: from before nineteen fifty and it has this instead of that.

916
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 3: So you start identifying what you have and then learning

917
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 3: the value of it based on so it's all one.

918
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 3: It's not articulated arms, so it's worth less than the

919
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 3: ones that have artici.

920
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 4: You know what I mean.

921
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 3: You get into like identify it and then you're like,

922
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 3: well then I am interested in it. As like, I

923
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 3: don't have any interest in stuffed animals, but suddenly I

924
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 3: was in.

925
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, just from looking it up once. Yeah, and you're like, well,

926
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: now I gotta get If my fucking line doesn't have

927
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: articulated arms, I'm gonna lose my.

928
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,240
Speaker 4: Mind, but I'm gonna order away.

929
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 3: I'm gonna send away to Germany and get the original.

930
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,799
Speaker 2: I do wish I had a list of Like every

931

00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 2: important book. And I was watching Antikes Roadshow recently and

940
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 2: somebody had an extremely rare almanac from like the eighteen fifties,

941
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 2: and they're like, there's one in Harvard and there's this one.

942
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 2: They're the only two that exist. And I was like,

943
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 2: I would enjoy that. I would enjoy the of being like,

944
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 2: let me just pop in here when I'm somewhere and

945
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 2: just kind of look at the used books and see

946
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 2: if I can find any diamonds in the rough. But

947
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 2: every time I think it, I just never thought that

948
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 2: is something I just do not follow through on.

949
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 1: Oh you'll do that when you're retired. Yeah, when you

950
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:18,280
Speaker 1: own a when you own a like a Tommy Bahama

951
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 1: themed bar somewhere took him.

952
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 3: And also you have to memorize the list of all

953
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 3: the most wanted books and the rarest. Like there's there's

954
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 3: something too where you have to have the you have

955
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 3: to have like the encyclopedic knowledge so you know what

956
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:34,800
Speaker 3: you're spotting that no one else knows. That.

957
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 4: I love that. I love that part of.

958
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 3: Either looking in like vintage stores or antique stores in

959
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,360
Speaker 3: that way where it's like, prove to myself I have

960
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 3: the eye and then it's like this stif lion proves

961
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 3: that I have good tastes. It's like, no, it's just old.

962
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 3: I can tell it was old and kind of interesting.

963
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: We used to do that that. We used to do

964
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 1: that in like the mid nineties with records, Like I

965
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: remember going to like Bleaker Bob's in New York City

966
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 1: and going in there and being like, oh, they have

967
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 1: the they have the original X ray spex vinyl that's

968
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 1: colored and like that's because it's been a re issue

969
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 1: since nineteen eighty nine. And then they have the one

970
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:17,760
Speaker 1: from nineteen seventy nine, you know, and it's just like whoa.

971
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden somebody was like napster

972
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:22,800
Speaker 1: and it was like burn it all down.

973
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're in college. One of my roommates had the

974
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 2: single of Toto's Africa on vinyl and the vinyl was

975
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 2: shaped like the continent in Africa. Who it is, plastic

976
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 2: shape like Africa, and you had to put it in

977
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 2: the middle because it was on the outside it was

978
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 2: just junk to junk to junk. But and I was

979
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 2: like this that today was also with the weird resurgence

980
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 2: of that song.

981
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 3: Yes, that must be worth worth a lot, at least

982
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 3: eight hundred dollars, I.

983
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 2: Know, worth holding on to for twenty five years. I'll

984
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 2: send us home with this one. Kristin Yeowitz KBG sent

985
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 2: this in thank you, Kristin Yowitz kb Kelwitz. This was

986
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:07,800
Speaker 2: written by Nadine Abusada for News five Cleveland Real website.

987
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:11,799
Speaker 2: I'm checking it four or five times a dead. Nadine

988
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 2: Abusada is the best in the business. Cars keep hitting

989
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:21,320
Speaker 2: his house and he's extremely over it. So I actually

990
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:23,399
Speaker 2: looked this up thinking it was about this other house

991
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 2: i'd heard about. So there's this other house that's been

992
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 2: hit eleven times cars and one of the videos, the

993
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 2: car's so airborne that you're like, how it must have

994
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 2: gone off your friend's Lamborghini Karen because this car is

995
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 2: eight feet in the air and hits the upstairs. This

996
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:42,799
Speaker 2: is a different guy Cleveland Heights, Ohio. One Cleveland Heights

997
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 2: homeowner is fed up with dealing with crash after crash

998
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:48,839
Speaker 2: into his home. Now he's taking matters into his own

999
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 2: hands because he feels the city is not doing enough

1000
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 2: to prevent them. On South Taylor Road, heading towards the

1001
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 2: intersection of Fairmount Boulevard, you'll see flashing signs, speed bumps,

1002
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 2: even boulders meant to slow down cars, even butters. I mean,

1003
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 2: he's trying to like fortify his front yard and these

1004
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 2: cars just go ripping right over it. It's incredible. But

1005
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 2: for John Gall, it is still not enough to keep

1006
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 2: his home safe from erratic driver. So Gall is trying

1007
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 2: his own methods. I'm painting another sign, he said. This

1008
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 2: sign's going to be somewhere with a sign that says

1009
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 2: the cowards won't talk because they're chicken bleep mother froggers. Okay,

1010
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna read that again because it's so insane. He says.

1011
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:32,240
Speaker 2: The sign's going going to go somewhere with the one

1012
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 2: that says the cowards won't talk because their chicken bleep

1013
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 2: mother froggers said Gall, that's that's not nadin abusada. I know, Okay,

1014
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 2: I do not understand it either.

1015
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 1: I feel like his deterrens are not working because they're crazy.

1016
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:54,359
Speaker 3: I feel like he may have gone crazy from having

1017
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:55,280
Speaker 3: so many cars.

1018
00:50:55,360 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: Yes, I don't understand. I've installed eight slide whistles along

1019
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 1: the road coming up and they keeps happening.

1020
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 2: I know. So also, just get supply wood and build

1021
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 2: a ramp up towards your house and just have cars

1022
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 2: come right at and ramp right intoor of it.

1023
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:15,839
Speaker 3: So just say chicken shit and motherfuckers, please just do it.

1024
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 4: Who cares?

1025
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:19,319
Speaker 2: Okay, your house is getting hit by speeding cars, you're

1026
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 2: allowed to cuss.

1027
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 1: You cuss it up, John Gall, cuss up all bought froggers,

1028
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 1: the mother froggers mother, I've never actually heard that. For

1029
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: some reason, mother froggers, you mother frog and Jery mother frogging.

1030
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 2: There was a Yeah, there was a snake's on a plane.

1031
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:40,919
Speaker 2: One that was like, get these mickey ficky snakes off

1032
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 2: this Monday to Friday plane. I think that was it.

1033
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 2: That's good. Gall bought his home in nineteen ninety six,

1034
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:51,760
Speaker 2: where his lawn now sits filled with wooden painted signs

1035
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 2: at the intersection. The signs read things like where's my guardrail?

1036
00:51:56,280 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 2: Speed bump seriously, and cowards won't talk. That is because

1037
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,320
Speaker 2: in the past ten years, Gars have said four cars

1038
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 2: have crashed into his home. The first crash actually took

1039
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 2: out my pickup truck that was parked in the driveway.

1040
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 2: That was in twenty twelve. I believe the second crash

1041
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 2: occurred in twenty twenty one, when News five covered a

1042
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:16,240
Speaker 2: police chase that ended with a car crashing into Gall's kitchen.

1043
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 2: Then in twenty twenty two, another car crash took out

1044
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 2: his crash and then the latest crash in twenty twenty

1045
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 2: three landed on the yond lawn and narrowly missed his house.

1046
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 2: I cannot get homeowner's insurance. I currently have insurance, but

1047
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 2: they jacked the rates. I'm one claim away from being dropped.

1048
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 2: I pursued other insurance companies. Nobody will touch me, he said, Oh, Gall,

1049
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:42,440
Speaker 2: I know. Gall said also, dude, I know everything's expensive,

1050
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 2: but it's time to move. This is a sign from

1051
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 2: job to get out of there.

1052
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 3: It is like, where where does this man live that

1053
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:53,759
Speaker 3: this keep I just was like picturing as it was, like, oh,

1054
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 3: that's right.

1055
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:55,439
Speaker 4: It's different parts of the house.

1056
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 3: So it's like one time he's asleep in the front

1057
00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 3: room and it goes into the kitchen. Then next time

1058
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 3: he's you know, over here in the bathroom and it's

1059
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 3: his garage. Like he must feel like he's being That

1060
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 3: must be insane.

1061
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so crazy that every time you hear a

1062
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 2: car you're afraid.

1063
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 3: So then you're like again, like having to complain that

1064
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:19,760
Speaker 3: your house has been hit more than once is insane.

1065
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 2: Two times would be enough for me, Like, and we're

1066
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 2: out here, use so much.

1067
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:28,919
Speaker 1: And when the cowards won't talk makes it ten times worse.

1068
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 4: So bad, Just talk, you cowards.

1069
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:38,400
Speaker 2: Speed bump. Seriously, all he wants is peace of mind

1070
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:40,839
Speaker 2: that a car won't come flying through his walls, and

1071
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 2: he believes a guard rail or a cement barrier would

1072
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 2: do that. He says, I'm kind of living on the edge.

1073
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 2: You know, as far as I'm concerned, this house is

1074
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 2: a giant target on its side, and the city has

1075
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 2: done nothing to alleviate that until then. He plans on

1076
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 2: keep painting his signs until he gets the wall. He

1077
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:00,319
Speaker 2: said he's hired a lawyer smart moved probably on that

1078
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:04,240
Speaker 2: in twenty twelve, and plans to keep adding signs until

1079
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:07,320
Speaker 2: he sees change or response from the city. News five

1080
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 2: in Cleveland has yet to hear back from the Cleveland

1081
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 2: Heights City Hall for comment.

1082
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:17,760
Speaker 1: A delight, and you know what also has been a delight.

1083
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 1: Tell me having you Karen here as a guest.

1084
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:22,919
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I got I on this show.

1085
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 3: Get very passive because I love listening to these stories

1086
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:29,080
Speaker 3: and I just think about them and try to kind

1087
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 3: of problem solve within them. Or I'm just like, huh,

1088
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 3: it's like that story alone where I'm just like, should

1089
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 3: we all be calling the compatroller of that city in Cleveland?

1090
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:43,080
