45
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: report on the Royals, and today for the Bananas, we

46
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: record a couple weeks in advance. The Queen has died

47
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: sadly today.

48
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, sadly she has. And I have done about a

49
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 4: dozen interviews so far today with TV and other press outlets,

50
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 4: and I have more lined up as soon as I

51
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 4: hang up with you guys, and then I have about

52
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 4: a dozen more lined up for tomorrow. So it's one

53
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 4: of the most highly anticipated and yet dreaded days that

54
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 4: nobody wanted to happen in the Royals world. And so yeah,

55
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 4: it's ye. I don't even know what to compare it to.

56
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is it is unprecedent.

57
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 3: I know nothing about the Royals, and yet I still

58
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 3: know that she was queen.

59
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: For a very very long time. My whole life, my

60
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: whole life, and.

61
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 4: Our parents' lives and our grandparents' lives. I mean, she

62
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 4: is an institution, literally, like an icon. She she has

63
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 4: been around longer than a third of the history of

64
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 4: the United States.

65
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's really interesting.

66
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 4: For the trees we have been a nation, she has

67
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 4: been around for over a third of that.

68
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: Well, she almost saw the end, so good for her.

69
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: She got us to the end of the country too,

70
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: she sure did. Yeah, well, Christ, we're not going to

71
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: make you talk about it, since you have to talk

72
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: about it ten thousand times. We're going to give you

73
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of banana stories and we'll be your little

74
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: oasis in that thank you shit show of Royal Turnover.

75
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 3: Before we do get into this thing, though, I do

76
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 3: want to ask you, because two of your podcasts, Buy

77
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 3: the Book and Romance Road Tasks are right up our alley,

78
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 3: could you please tell us what you do in those podcasts?

79
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, So both of those shows I co

80
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 4: host with my friend Joel lent To Greenberg, who is

81
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 4: a comedian. She's a Moth Story slam winner. She's very

82
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 4: funny and on by the Book. We choose a different

83
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 4: self help book each episode and we live by the

84
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 4: rules of that book down to the letter. And we

85
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 4: do that for two weeks straight while recording ourselves, and

86
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 4: you can hear how we, you know, enhance or destroy

87
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 4: our lives through those books and how our husbands suffer.

88
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 4: And then Woman's Road Test is kind of a sequel

89
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 4: to the show, sort of a spin off, because a

90
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 4: lot of people have written in over the years and

91
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 4: say and said, we want more of your long suffering husbands.

92
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 4: Is there a way for you to make a show

93
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 4: that's really just about your relationships? And we thought, yes,

94
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 4: there is so Romance road Test. Every episode there we

95
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 4: take on a different so called relationship pack and we

96
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 4: apply it to our relationships to see does it bring

97
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 4: us closer together? Does it make us tear each other's

98
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 4: hair out or our own hair out? Examples include, let's

99
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 4: assemble flat pack furniture and see if we feel more

100
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,799
Speaker 4: in love afterward, Let's do something that scares us, let's

101
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 4: re enact our first dates, Let's spend time in nature.

102
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 4: So some of the some of the things that we

103
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 4: tried out, I have to say, really did bring out

104
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 4: the warm fuzzies, and other things did not. They did

105
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 4: the opposite.

106
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 3: Have you ever done the one that's that's yours where

107
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 3: you're supposed to like one of you goes to a

108
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 3: bar and is there by yourself, and then the other

109
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 3: one comes in and you pretend like you don't know

110
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 3: each other.

111
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 2: Did you haven't done that one yet?

112
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 4: We have not yet done that on Romance road Test,

113
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 4: But I think that sounds super fun. I would be.

114
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, all my friends do that to me naturally all

115
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: the time. Anyways, I'm just drinking alone and they pretend

116
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: they don't know me. It's pretty fun.

117
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 3: What is one What is one tip? For romance that,

118
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 3: like you actually think does work.

119
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 4: I think one tip that I found worked while we

120
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 4: were living by the Five lovelyngthes by the book. One

121
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 4: of the rules of the Five Love Languages is to

122
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 4: love people the way they want to be loved, not

123
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 4: the way you want to be loved. So we've been

124
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 4: told our whole lives, like, treat people the way you

125
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 4: want to be treated. But the Five Love Languages are saying, no,

126
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 4: treat people the way they want to be treated. So

127
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 4: let's say your partner or partners, if you're in a

128
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 4: throuple or a quadruple or whatnot. Let's say they are

129
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 4: people who experience love most deeply. When receiving gifts, well,

130
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 4: make sure that you're giving them little tokens, little love tokens,

131
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 4: whether it's you know, just a flower you picked on

132
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 4: the way home to say I was thinking about you,

133
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 4: or you know, whatever else they might want that actually

134
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 4: is a physical object they can hold in touch. Because

135
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 4: you know, there are some people out there who feel

136
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 4: very awkward about, you know, love notes or sweet nothings

137
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 4: or even about physical touch, but they feel very comfortable

138
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 4: with physical objects. And then there are other people out there,

139
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 4: like me who are like, don't buy my love. That

140
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 4: object means nothing to me. I don't care about presence.

141
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 4: All I really care about is like, are you treating

142
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 4: me with affection? And do we have fun together? You know?

143
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 4: I like my quality, I like my quality time, and

144
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 4: I like my words of affection and other people want

145
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 4: acts of service. So I mean, it really just comes

146
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 4: down to you know, what is what makes the people

147
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 4: in your life feel loved, whether it's your partner, your parents,

148
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 4: your kids, whatever, your friends, what makes them feel loved

149
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 4: love them that way.

150
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: That makes sense, and that makes sense to me. I

151
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: love that too.

152
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 3: And it actually is a really great segue how these

153
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 3: vanities like to make on each other.

154
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: Here is this? This was this.

Speaker 4: you're just like getting it on with someone special and

175
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 4: then you are like, hold on, who else is touching me?

176
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: Yes?

177
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 2: And is it a manatee? Like if a manatee was touching.

178
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: You while you were fucking that honestly no.

179
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 2: Adorable?

180
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 3: If it just you just hear You're like, it's a

181
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 3: very romantic moment, You're starting to kiss, and then.

182
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 2: A manatee in a tub of water just.

183
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 3: Slowly rolls into your room and a flipper comes out

184
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 3: and patsy on the ass and then rolls away.

185
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 2: I'm into that.

186
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 1: Love to touch the I mean that is such a

187
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: crazy impulse to be like, look and then go touching

188
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: these things. It is, but it's everywhere. It's universally, like

189
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: people just do this, and I don't understand why we're

190
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: unable to just witness something and appreciate it. It's a

191
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: very strange thing like touching. It is so weird.

192
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 3: I will I will give a partial explanation for why

193
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 3: I think they're touching is it looks fucking insane. So

194
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 3: the way manatees mate is it's one female manatee and

195
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 3: then like a bunch of male manatees and all of

196
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 3: them are trying to get underneath her. And so it's

197
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 3: a bunch of manatees all like fumbling on top of

198
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 3: each other, and it looks like something's wrong. And then

199
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, once the man and

200
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 3: usually it's in shallow water, but once the female manatee

201
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 3: actually goes into deeper water and the male manate can

202
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 3: get underneath her, all of they all just flit like

203
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 3: freak out. It's just like a bunch of flapping, so

204
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 3: it looks like something's murdering them kind of. It's a

205
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 3: very insane looking way to bone. So I guess people

206
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 3: are like, oh, no, I gotta help these manate I think,

207
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 3: or is it just that we.

208
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 4: All secretly or not so secretly want to touch a

209
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 4: manate in our lives. And I have been fortunate enough

210
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 4: to touch a manatee. I've been very lucky in that way.

211
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 4: And there was one time I was swimming in Florida

212
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,719
Speaker 4: and then these manatees showed up and I was like, yes,

213
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 4: like thank you for coming out here, and I will

214
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 4: say hello to you, and you're very close to me,

215
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 4: so why not I will reach out and pet you.

216
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 4: But the initiated I just want to point that out.

217
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 4: They started it. I would not go in there and

218
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 4: in the middle of their business and do that. But

219
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 4: I do understand the instinct to want to touch a manatee,

220
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 4: but there are moments for that. Are they invading the

221
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 4: touch or are they not inviting the touch? This is

222
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 4: a case these manatees were mating. They're not inviting human touch.

223
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,719
Speaker 4: They don't want humans. They like each other, they don't

224
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 4: want to stay.

225
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: There having a moment.

226
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, a moment, their manitea body, their manity choice.

227
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: That is correct, That is absolutely correct. I know whenever

228
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: you're round manatees. I think I talked about this once

229
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: on the pod, but I saw one in Florida and

230
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: my first instinct was how fun it would be to

231
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: sit on it like it was just flooding by. And

232
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: then Kurt, did I tell that one? And then there

233
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: was an old woman, an older woman walked up next

234
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: to me and I'm looking at this manatee, and then

235
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: she's like, wouldn't it be fun to sit on that?

236
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: And she like read my mind and I look looked

237
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: at her and I was like, I was thinking that

238
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 1: exact same.

239
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 2: We should get married.

240
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I lead in for a kiss. She pushed me

241
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: in the water. It was very fun.

242
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 2: I remember this.

243
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 3: This reminded me of and I'm like, you know, it's

244
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 3: obviously embarrassing to try and touch manates while they bone,

245
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 3: And it reminded me of the most embarrassing moment I

246
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 3: have ever had on a beach in my entire life.

247
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 3: I was fifteen years old and I grew up in

248
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 3: New Jersey on the on the New Jersey Shore, and

249
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 3: I surfed and I showed up one day at Manasquan Inlet,

250
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 3: and Manasquan Inlet's probably the best place to surf on

251
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 3: the Jersey Shore. They're just great waves. And I get

252
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,719
Speaker 3: there and it is it's just beautiful day out. The

253
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 3: surf is pumping and nobody is surfing, and I was like,

254
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 3: I just lost my mind. Usually if it's that, if

255
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 3: it's that good surf, it's like a hundred dudes in

256
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 3: the water, okay.

257
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 2: And so I was like, I can't believe it.

258
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 3: So I was like getting my wetsuit on as quickly

259
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 3: as I could, not paying attention to anything like and

260
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 3: then I put my leash on like before I got

261
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 3: in the water, as you do, but a little too early,

262
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 3: and then I didn't hold my leash and I just

263
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 3: started running cool cool look, started running and then immediately

264
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 3: tripped over my leash right before I got to the

265
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 3: water and landed smack on my face on the sand

266
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 3: right And then at that point realized that the reason

267
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 3: no one was surfing was because a surf competition was

268
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 3: going on, and that right behind me was a huge

269
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 3: dead with hundreds of people on the beach just off

270
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 3: to like the left of where I had run and

271
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 3: there and that is like birm and then like four

272
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 3: professional surfers ran past me into the water and started

273
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 3: a heat. So I did that in front of like

274
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 3: thousands of people, and I just was it. I like

275
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 3: almost disintegrated from being embarrassed.

276
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 1: But I think that they just thought you were a

277
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: comedic genius if you look at it from their perspective,

278
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: if it's all how you reacted to, because I would

279
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: think that that person was doing a bit, and it

280
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: was a great, hilarious bit. Because kids, teenagers always have

281
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: to do this stuff. I used to pretend to trip

282
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: and fall in the movie theater in Maryland when they

283
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: had unlimited refills of popcorn, and I would walk in

284
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: and trip and knock my popcorn in the air, and

285
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: then run out les embarrass and come in and do

286
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: it again. And then the third time I wouldn't do it,

287
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: and everybody would wait for me to do it, and

288
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: then I would trip and not knock the popcorn into

289
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: the air, and every time it were I yeah, it

290
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: was like the fifteen dollars movie theater and I would

291
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: just trip and fall knock popcorn in the air. It

292
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: was great, Oh teenage bit.

293
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's a good bit.

294
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: Okay, I got one for you, all right. Stephanie Bork

295
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:49,760

296
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: I picked this one also, Christen, because I was listening

297
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,680

298
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: of self help. It just I made a connection. Here

315
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: my left AirPod in my left hand. I threw something

316
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: back and my mouth, took my water bottle, took a

317
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: big sip and realized it was not the ibuprofen. I

318
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: tried puking it up, but it would not come out.

319
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: It did come out, though, in a normal course of events,

320
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: so to speak, and she says that she went and

321
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: had an X ray to confirm it was in there.

322
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: She also said she won't be trying to use that

323
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: AirPod again because she passed it separately. She has also

324
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: revealed that the swallowed AirPod was still connected to her

325
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: phone while she was making a call, and consequently left

326
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: a voice memo to a friend of gurgling sounds recorded

327
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: in her stomach. Oh wow, this is not the first

328
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: time an AirPod has been swallowed. A Massachusetts man managed

329
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: to swallow one while he was sleeping. I think he

330
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: was listening to a podcast in his sleep. It over

331
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: and swallowed an iPod excuse me, AirPod, I mean iPod,

332
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: And then seven year old in Georgia was taken to

333
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: the emergency room after eating one. So I guess this

334
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: is a common occurrence.

335
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 4: I mean, I kind of understand the seven year old.

336
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 4: I don't really understand the adults doing this. I don't

337
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 4: really get that. But maybe I'm just not in the

338
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 4: loop because I don't trust air pods period. And so

339
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 4: as you can see, I was like, see this, this

340
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 4: is a cord attached Yeah, yeah too, Like I just

341
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 4: want chords attached to my ears. I don't trust. I

342
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 4: don't trust the air pods to stay in my ears

343
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 4: while I'm walking around with without little chords attached to them.

344
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 2: For one, I want chords just so I can once

345
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 2: I do swallow it, I can pull it back out.

346
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: Yes, what a fun party trick that is. Yes, Christ

347
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: you live in Brooklyn, right, Yes, I do. Yes, Kurt

348
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 1: and I also lived in Brooklyn. We both in Windsor Terrace,

349
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: right in your Prospect Park somewhere. I know you like

350
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: to take walks because I listen to your pod. I'm

351
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: not stalking you or anything like, Wow, you know a

352
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: lot about me. I was listening to the Rituals episode

353
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 1: of By the Book, and I thought the daily Rituals

354
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: and you took a walk by the little waterfall in

355
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: the middle of Prospect Park, and I was like, I

356
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: know exactly where that is. I used to love taking

357
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: little walks there me too. I used to do absent mindedly,

358
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 1: you know in New York, when you're like putting everything

359
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: you're putting on like a book bag, You're going to

360
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: go grab the f train. You're gonna do all the

361
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: suffy stuff. I found myself two times being so absent

362
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 1: minded and distracted that I would walk out of my

363
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: apartment that would automatically lock and then I'd be locked out.

364
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: And then depending on who your super is, your landlord

365
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 1: or whatever, it's kind of hard to get back in sometimes.

366
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: So a little pro tip, I used to put magnet

367
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: keyboxes under the blue mailbox, like the public mailbox that

368
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: was like four blocks away. And I did that for

369
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 1: eight years and I had to use it three times,

370
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: and it was just a great little life hack for you.

371
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: And it absolutely worked. Like so many times I'd be like,

372
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: oh shit, and then I would go walk three or

373
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: four blocks. I never had any markings on the keys

374
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 1: of the box, and there was my key anytime I

375
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: got locked out.

376
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 4: That is so smart smart. I'm going to recommend that

377
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 4: to a few friends of mine who constantly locked themselves out.

378
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 4: I will say this when I have locked myself out.

379
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 4: I've been very lucky that my neighbors usually just let

380
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 4: me go into their apartments and I go down the

381
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 4: fire escape and go into my apartment that way. Yeah,

382
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 4: that has worked for most of my New York life. Fortunately,

383
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 4: the neighbor and the fire escape.

384
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: Pretty trusting, good neighbors.

385
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 4: But your idea, I love your idea. It's so stealth,

386
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 4: but it's also so in the open.

387
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: It's in the open, and it's anonymous because they would

388
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: have to. You know, on my block on Ocean Parkway,

389
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: there was like thirty buildings with two hundred apartments per building,

390
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: and it would be like, good luck, the ultimate scavenger hunt,

391
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 1: where does this key? But it was also that thing

392
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 1: where and I'm sure you both I've had this where

393
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: like when you're doing something like that, when you're like

394
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: locking yourself out or locking your keys in your car, whatever,

395
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: there's that one moment where you've realized what you're doing

396
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: and it's happening, and you're like, and the doors and

397
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: it's had and this is it. And that is such

398
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: a weird magic moment where I wonder if this young

399
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: woman who swalled the airport there had to be a

400
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: moment where she was swallowing and it was heavier than

401
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: a pill, Like she had to know like there was

402
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: a cutoff, and she just went for it.

403
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 3: It must have been like cause it's it's as you

404
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 3: throw it in your mouth, that's when you're realizing it.

405
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 3: It must have been such a like throw swallow kind

406
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 3: of move that the liquid started coming so quickly.

407
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 2: It was an immediate realization. I'm sure. Oh.

408
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: I worked in a restaurant in Brooklyn and there was

409
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: a gentleman who had the time is older. He was

410
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: probably only in his mid forties, but at the time

411
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: he felt like an older guy to me. And I

412
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: woke up one morning and I was like cleaning my

413
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: apron in the kitchen sink way waiters, do you get

414
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: the ketchup stains off of it? You get ready? And

415
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 1: I opened an email. It's from this guy, Tim, the bartender,

416
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: and I started scrolling. You had never emailed me before,

417
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: and I quickly realized that he had fored me a

418
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: text exchange he was having with another man that he

419
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: had met on a dating app. Oh boy. So it

420
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: started with like, Hey, Hey, what neighborhood do you live in?

421
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: How tall are you? Stuff like that then like a

422
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: little flirtier, and so I was like, this is weird.

423
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: I thought maybe he was sending me dialogue for a

424
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: script or something. And I scrolled just a little bit

425
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: more and it like instantly went to like Torso picks

426
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: and then it like dick picks followed, and so I

427
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: was like, okay, I got it. This was an accident.

428
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: So I deleted it. So I go into work that

429
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 1: afternoon and he's bartending, and I like stealthily pulled Tim

430
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: aside and I'm like, hey, man, I just want you

431
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 1: to know you accidentally sent me like a sex exchange

432
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 1: or some dude. And I deleted it, no big deal.

433
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: Just wanted you to know maybe you like butt dialed

434
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: it or buddy emailed it or whatever her and he

435
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 1: just turned to goes, oh, no big deal. I actually

436
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 1: accidentally sent that to everybody on my email list, including

437
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: my family, and now my dad knows I'm gay. He

438
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: hadn't come out to his father, yell, and so his

439
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: father found out he was a gay man by getting

440
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: a I don't know, four hundred texts exchange, including his

441
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 1: own son's dick. I was like, tim it felt, so

442
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 1: he was like over it. Though it was so bad

443
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: and he was so maimindly done it that it was

444
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: like he just pulled it was just scorched earth.

445
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 3: At that point, there is no I cannot worry about

446
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:41,719
Speaker 3: the waiter at two Boots Pizzeria and my dad has

447
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:42,480

00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 4: of like thinking I'm not replying all, but just replying

468
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 3: there any way to like save that when you do

469
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 3: reply on and meant for one person and you're obviously

470
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 3: making fun of everyone on the list.

471
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 2: Oh god, I don't know if there is.

472
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 4: I don't I've never succeeded at fixing that. I'm just like, well,

473
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 4: I screwed. I screwed up badly. There's nothing to do here.

474
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: This is surprised. There's not an app that like charges

475
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: you one hundred dollars to scrub an email that you

476
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 1: didn't want sent to everybody. Feels like Google could be like, hey,

477
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: we have an option where if you send this thing

478
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 1: for eighty dollars, we take it all back, and you'd

479
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: be like, it is worth eighty dollars.

480
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 2: I feel like.

481
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 4: Outlook used to have something like that where they claimed

482
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 4: you could remember. But it did not work, because that's

483
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 4: what I did it on and I found That's how

484
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 4: I found out the hard way.

485
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 2: Yes, and it didn't work.

486
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 4: It did not work.

487
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 1: No, I.

488
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,240

Speaker 2: The attempted murder of the twiletan Chub Shrub.

491
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: Wow that it sounded like you were struggling with the

492
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 1: last two words, but I bet you actually nailed them.

493
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: We'll be back with the twiletwin swub shure, the twileted

494

501
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: the Bronx. We're shouting them out purely from being from

502
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 1: the Bronx, because in the d M they said we're

503
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: from the Bronx, which I like. Ben Fuoco and Benny Blanco.

504
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: So Ben and Benny, what's up? Thanks for being bananimals

505
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: in the Bronx. We probably will never tour and do

506
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 1: a show in the Bronx, but you know what, maybe

507
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: we will. Cale David wants to shout out this is

508
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 1: an interesting one. His wife's best friend Live, who introduced

509
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: them to Bananas Live. You are the wind beneath our peels.

510
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: Shout out to Heather Lalou, who is shouting out her

511
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: own solo Honeymoon this kind of falls into. Yeah, this

00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 1: kind of falls in. She's going to the Maldives. She's

513
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: taking her dream honeymoon without a man because she's been

514
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: preparing for this, dreaming about it and working out for

515
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: her hot honeymoon bod and she's ready to go enjoy herself.

516
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

517
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: Good, I love either. We love that, and finally we

518
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 1: have Oh this is for all of us. Actually, Kurt,

519
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: we have a listener named Mike who works for the

520
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 1: Hollywood Reporter, okay, and he explained to you and I

521
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: that sometimes news outlets and news stories are attributed to

522
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: a staff at not the actual writer, because a lot

523
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: of times those writers, for whatever reason, don't want to

524
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: be associated with that crazy story forever online, so they

525
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: say the Guardian staff or BBC staff or whatever, so

526
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: that when you google Kurt Brownowler in twenty years, it's

527
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: not like butt plug efforts in the winter. And you're like, okay,

528
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: so thank you, Mike. We appreciate you reaching out from

529
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: a professional standpoint, and we're still going to call them

530
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 1: the media mist and the biz when they do it,

531
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: but thanks for the info. And that's all I got.

532
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 3: And of course we are here with the fantastic Kristin

533
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 3: miinz there, Kristin, thank you for being here, so excited

534
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 3: to be here.

535
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: You think doing a podcast about self help has made

536
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: your life better? Oh?

537
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 4: Absolutely not? Really well, I think most self help is terrible.

538
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: Interesting.

539
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 4: A lot of the self help books out there are

540
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 4: written by people who were born on third base, saying

541
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 4: if I can do it, anyone can. I'm like, really,

542
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 4: you who went to Harvard and whose parents gave you

543
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,959
Speaker 4: a modest loan of two million dollars to start your

544
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 4: first supplement selling business, Really, if you can do it,

545
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 4: anyone can. I was not born with any of those things.

546
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 4: I don't think that's a fair comparison. And in other

547
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 4: cases I think that they're is an author who found

548
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 4: one obsessive thing that worked well for their particular obsession,

549
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 4: but that doesn't mean it's going to work for those

550
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 4: of us who don't have that same obsession. For example,

551
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 4: Marie Condo Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up From the

552
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 4: time she was a small child, she says in her book,

553
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 4: she would tidy and cry, tidy and cry. The next

554
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 4: day it wouldn't be tidy anymore. And she was obsessed

555
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 4: with tidying, And the book is kind of heartbreaking. It's like,

556
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 4: this is not a self help book. This is a

557
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 4: confession of a debilitating obsession.

558
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 3: This is sad.

559
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 4: I don't know if I want to do this.

560
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 2: Interesting.

561
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, what is the one thing that you tried out

562
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 3: for the podcast that was like the create that upended

563
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 3: your life in the weirdest way.

564
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh. There are so many books that are

565
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 4: so terrible. I would say that pretty much any of

566
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 4: the books that have the word fuck in the title

567
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 4: and are real by dudes, all of those books are.

568
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 4: All of them essentially are like, Yeah, all you got

569
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 4: to do is believe it and then you can be

570
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 4: it and then put your life in your hands and

571
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 4: then like visualize being a billionaire and then get super

572
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 4: pumped and yeah, and you'll be just like me. Yeah,

573
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 4: all of those books are terrible. My favorite books are

574
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 4: actually ones where it's just like, go out and be kind,

575
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 4: do good in the world. Maybe the reason why you're

576
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 4: sad is not because you're not saying enough good mantras.

577
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 4: Maybe the reason you're sad is because we live in

578
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 4: a world with structural inequalities, and maybe you can go

579
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 4: out there and make the world a little nicer and

580
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 4: maybe you'll feel better in turn. At least that's worked

581
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 4: for me. I found that.

582
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that.

583
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: That's absolutely true. It's that is so true. Years ago,

584
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: my agents were like, hey, we have a book we

585
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: think you'd be perfect for developing. And I was like, oh, thanks,

586
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: that's great. What is it? And they were like it's

587
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: the subtle art of not giving a fuck and title alone.

588
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: I go no, and they go really. I was like,

589
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: that's whatever that's selling. I'm not interested in. Yeah, And

590
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: then I read the first chapter and it was exactly

591
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: to your point. It was just like, just choose not

592
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: to give a fuck in all these situations. And now

593
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: you know, eight years later or whatever it is, it's

594
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: like the most beta thing these guys could do is

595
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: just claim how alpha there are. Like every time I

596
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: read anything like that, I'm like, no, you're the worst.

597
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: You're You're just a lamb in wolf's clothing. It's crazy

598
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: to me.

599
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 4: That is such a good way of putting it. And

600
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 4: I'm so glad you didn't work on that.

601
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: Oh God. As soon as I heard the title, I'm like,

602
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: shut up, cares, I would really like to compliment you.

603
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 3: I've never heard the term born on third base, and

604
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 3: I love it so much. That's such a great saying.

605
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: Oh, thank you.

606
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 4: I don't think I coined it. I just think it is. Yeah,

607
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 4: most of us are in the dugout. We're not even

608
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 4: like at home plate, Like we're not on first base,

609
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 4: We're not anywhere.

610
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to get to the bay.

611
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 4: Are you trying to get to the stadium? Okay, I

612
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 4: don't even know how to get to the stadium.

613
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: That's right, And who cares? Just live a little be

614
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: nice to everybody.

615
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, speaking of, do you want to hear about the

616
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 3: attempted murder of the Twalletint chub shrub?

617
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: Yes? Okay, this is so.

618
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 3: This was sent in by the wonderful Leah Peterson. Thank

619
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 3: you so much, Leah. So this is actually I think

620
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 3: a local just thing that's going on in her neighborhood

621
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 3: or like near her, because I couldn't find any articles

622
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 3: about no one's covering this. This is just based on

623
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 3: Facebook posts from the person. So there is a person

624
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 3: in Twalletin. I believe that's in Washington. I have not

625
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 3: done my research and I don't even know if that's

626
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 3: how you pronounce it. And she I guess She has

627
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 3: a shrub that she groomed into looking a bit like

628
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 3: a penis, and then just recently, maybe like a month ago,

629
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 3: someone tried to kill it by pouring like whatever herbicide

630
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 3: onto its roots, and so now it's in the process

631
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 3: of dying. She's already upset. Yeah, So here's her Facebook

632
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 3: post about it. Hi, I'm blank taken out, owner of

633
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 3: the Twiletan trub shrub. I discovered yesterday that my forty

634
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 3: year old arbor vitae is that how you say it?

635
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 2: I don't know.

636
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 3: She is deliberately poisoned. In the past eleven months since

637
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 3: I quote trimmed my bush, I have met and talked

638
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 3: with more of my neighbors than in the previous twenty

639
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 3: three years that I have lived here. I was able

640
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 3: to do so do what the Twiletan police have been

641
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 3: unable to do, slow down traffic on Martinazi. I didn't

642
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 3: turn the tree quote into a thing. Yes, I trimmed

643
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 3: it in a slightly more phallic shape than the other

644
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 3: six trees. But the decorating and the monthly themes evolved

645
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 3: from the stand up neighbors who supported the effort. In fact,

646
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 3: the trees the first decoration was from an anonymous donor,

647
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 3: and neighbors have brought suggestions and paraphernalia toys if you will.

648
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,479
Speaker 3: The chub is not only a local celebrity but has

649
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 3: international acclaim. It's dick pics are sent around the world,

650
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 3: and my next door neighbors started an Instagram for it.

651
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 3: As for quote, what about the children. If they aren't

652
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 3: old enough to get it, they won't douce they won't,

653
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 3: So don't point it out, be outraged.

654
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:24,479
Speaker 2: Or bring it to their attention.

655
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 3: If they're old enough to get it, don't penis shame

656
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 3: your boys by saying it's disgusting or making your daughters

657
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 3: fearful of the organ. The penis itself does nothing harmful.

658
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 3: It's the person who wiels in and I can alibuy

659
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 3: for my tree every day for the past twenty three years.

660
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 2: It didn't hurt anybody. She's very upset.

661
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,719
Speaker 3: I did not break out any laws when I manscaped

662
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 3: my arbivite. However, the person who dug at its roots

663
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 3: and surrounded the entire base as salts did commit a crime,

664
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 3: including criminal trespass, secondary milisitiic mischief and violated three oh

665
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 3: Oregon statue It's in Oregon, relating specifically to deliberate tree damage.

666
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 2: I love Oregon, and I love that they have rules

667
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 2: against tree damage.

668
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 3: Though I appreciate that using salt to kill the Penis

669
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 3: tree Saltpeter was inspired. You fucked with the wrong gal.

670
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 3: I may not yet know who assaulted my tree. Oh,

671
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 3: she's getting into good a five hundred dollars reward for

672
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 3: information that leads to charges and arrest.

673
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 2: It keeps going, but I'm gonna stop there.

674
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 3: We just want to let everybody know if you have

675
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 3: any information about them attempted herbicide of the twiletan chub shrub.

676
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 2: Please, I don't know, I guess said to some message.

677
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 3: I don't know how to get in touch with this person,

678
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,399
Speaker 3: but you probably do because you live around there. But hey,

679
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 3: I support I support you know, cutting your trees into

680
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 3: whatever shape you want them, and I don't think that

681
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 3: they should be murdered by your neighbors at all.

682
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm very against plant murder. Don't murder plants, except

683
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 4: if you're you know, bad at plants accidentally. I mean,

684
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 4: I think I confess I've killed some plants in my life,

685
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 4: but not on purpose, and not other people's plants. I

686
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 4: would never go to somebody else's house and kill their plants.

687
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 4: Why would I need it? That's not nice. And I mean,

688
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 4: maybe you don't like what it's been carved into, maybe

689
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 4: you don't like the shape of it. I get that

690
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 4: it's not the most sophisticated decision of Like, you know,

691
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 4: it's like thirteen year old boys all over the world

692
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 4: have been spray painting that on walls and drawing it

693
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 4: on bathroom stalls for like, I don't know, for as

694
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 4: long as thirteen year old boys have had access to

695
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 4: writing instruments. It's been out there. So is it the

696
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 4: most sophisticated choice? No, I am I so upset by

697
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:40,959
Speaker 4: it that I think the tree should have been killed.

698
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 4: Absolutely not. It's not the tree's fault.

699
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: Not at all, not at all. Let it live.

700
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 3: Also, the idea I have had a tree, I have

701
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,320
Speaker 3: had a I've had a tree in my bathroom that

702
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 3: at this point is just a skeleton. It's just it's

703
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 3: just it looks like we've entered the eternal winter in

704
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 3: my bathroom.

705
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 2: At all times.

706
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 3: It is just leaves on the ground. Every single day.

707
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 3: We cannot keep a single tree alive in our bathroom.

708
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 3: And we used to have a money tree, and I

709
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 3: was convinced that the reason that we were struggling with

710
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 3: money was because we could not keep this money tree alive.

711
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 3: So I was like, get rid of it. It's freaking

712
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 3: me out too much. I don't want a tree connected

713
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 3: to my value.

714
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: I can understand why, but that yeah, it's also just

715
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: it's funny that it brought the neighbors together and that

716
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: they're talking to the neighbors more than ever. That happens

717
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 1: here all the time because we live in Los Angeles

718
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: and wildfires are such a thing now. If anybody in

719
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,800
Speaker 1: the general neighborhood grills out at all, just turns on

720
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: the grill there's any smoke in the air, all of

721
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: my neighbors from like the ten houses on this block

722
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: just walk out into the street. We start like smelling

723
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 1: the air and then I'm like you see anything and

724
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: they're like no, and it's like I think so, and

725
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: saw up the hills and then somebody will walk up

726
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: there and be like hey, but nobody's ever going to

727
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,720
Speaker 1: be like text everybody before you grill. But it brings

728
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: us together like weekly, where we're all like are we

729
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: gonna die? Are We're just gonna say hello and get

730
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: the mail and talk to each other for two minutes.

731
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: It's nice. It brings us together.

732
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 2: Oh, it's wonderful. The constant fear of being burned alive.

733
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's where we're at when it's the longest drought ever.

734
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:21,280
Speaker 1: It rained this morning, crisis for how long, Kurt, forty

735
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: thirty seconds? Yeah, And we were immediately out. The kids

736
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: were like open the like the turn the alarm off,

737
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: open the door. The kids are in the rain. And

738
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: then it immediately stopped it.

739
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 2: It was like, this is so sad.

740
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,720
Speaker 4: We are glorious forty five seconds.

741
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: Though, and we're so excited it is. It's like it's

742
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: probably like the first time somebody who's never seen snowsy snow.

743
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: I was writing and I like turned in my desk

744
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: because I heard the pitter pattern on the roof and

745
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: I like looked outside and I was like, my god,

746
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: it's raining. Like texting friends being like it's raining, and

747
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: it was just over.

748
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 4: And I gotta say, like, if I have to be

749
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 4: brought together by the idea that we're all going to

750
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 4: dyeing a drought in a wildfire, or I'm being brought

751
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 4: together with my neighbors by an unsophisticated bush cutting design.

752
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 4: I guess I'd rather take the bush.

753
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I take the dick tree any day.

754
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll take that. I'm not. Yeah, I don't want

755
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 4: to get together with people because we're dying. I'd rather

756
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 4: get together with people because we're like looking at this

757
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 4: weird bush.

758
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: That's a positive spin. Yeah, I can all agree on.

759
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 3: Speaking of neighborhood getting together is have you talked to

760
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 3: anyone about your sign for the for the hill me.

761
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 1: For having stuck truck hill?

762
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 3: Yeah?

763
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,959
Speaker 1: No, but it's still up. So there is a hill

764
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: in my neighborhood in Echo Park that is so steep

765
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: that any delivery truck, even a UPS truck, gets stuck

766
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: the actual back, the gate on the back of the

767
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: truck lifts that tires off. It happens, I don't know,

768
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: five times a year. It's probably happened fifty times since

769
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: I've lived here. And it'll be water delivery trucks, and

770
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: you see the poor guys working that unloading those big

771
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: things of water out of it. You get moving vans

772
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: like new neighborhood. So I made a sign that looks

773
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,919
Speaker 1: like a city park sign and named it stuck Truck Hill,

774
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: and it's been up for probably six months, and it

775
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: looks so official. I think people are just starting to

776
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:14,879
Speaker 1: do that. And I keep putting it on Google Maps

777
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 1: as Stuck Truck Hills.

778
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 2: So it's like a place you can just add things

779
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 2: to Google Maps.

780
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: You can put stuff that's like you can put things

781
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: as like a location or oh, I have no idea

782
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: a business or whatever. But yeah, stuck truck Hill has

783
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: not brought anybody together. I haven't seen nobody posing in

784
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 1: front the sign, but I check it every time I

785
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,320
Speaker 1: drive by or walk by, so it makes me happy.

786
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,439
Speaker 2: Yes, give us another one.

787
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: Hmmm, all right, guests, choice, Kristen. Do we want to

788
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,720
Speaker 1: hear about a weather balloon or an alarm clock?

789
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 4: Oh, let's hear about the weather balloon.

790
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: Great choice. Mallory Dean sent this in just today, so

791
00:39:55,800 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 1: thank you, Mallory Dean. This was on CBS News, written

792
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 1: by that CBS News staff and now where we know

793
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: what that means?

794
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 2: Kurt, They're ashamed in this one.

795
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:11,280
Speaker 1: Umm man gets trapped aloft in hydrogen balloon for two days,

796
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: travels over two hundred miles trying to collect pine nuts.

797
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:19,760
Speaker 3: What. Oh, I'm interested, really so interested. Also, hydrogen balloons,

798
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 3: I thought they were a thing of the past.

799
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: Like I like Kristen's are skeptical. You've lived through balloon Boy.

800
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 4: So that's the first thing I thought of, is like,

801
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 4: we all know balloon Boy wasn't real. Is balloon Peak maynreal?

802
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: Yeah? Maybe, I mean CBS news, that's pretty credible. The

803
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: Chinese state media says that they have found a man

804
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 1: safe after he spent two days aloft in a hydrogen

805
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:49,800
Speaker 1: balloon traveling about two hundred miles. It became untethered and

806
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,280
Speaker 1: flew away while he was using it to lift himself

807
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: to harvest pine nuts from a tree.

808
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 2: Oh wait, this is literally like a balloon that's just

809
00:40:58,480 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 2: strapped to his body.

810
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 1: Giant balloon. Oh this, oh this is not like a

811
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: Oh this is fascinating. Oh just it's bigger than like

812
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: it's as big as a weather balloon. It's this huge

813
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 1: white It looks like a large balloon, like a party balloon.

814
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: The man, identified only by his surname who Uh, and

815
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: a partner were collecting pine nuts on Sunday in a

816
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 1: forest park in northeastern China when they lost control and

817
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: the balloon sailed off. The other person was able to

818
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: jump to the ground and u and a search was

819
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: launched for the escape balloon.

820
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 3: I love that the person that abandoned the other person

821
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 3: was just was because you know that you're just taking

822
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 3: half the way down.

823
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 2: That means that guy's going even higher. It's like, go

824
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:45,720
Speaker 2: funk yourself. You're going even higher.

825
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: Yes, instead of hovering ten fifteen feet above the.

826
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,879
Speaker 2: Ground the Gulf stream or whatever, it's going.

827
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 1: To get two hundred miles away. State broadcaster CCTV said

828
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: rescuers were able to cont the man via his cell

829
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 1: phone the following morning, and they instructed him on how

830
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: to slowly deflate the balloon. I mean, this is a

831
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: crazy story to land safely. It took another day before

832
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: he was able to lower enough and reach the ground,

833
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 1: about two hundred miles north of the Fangshan region, close

834
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: to a border in Russia. So he almost sailed into Russia.

835
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 1: Not a great place to be these days. Oh he

836
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: was having He had two wild days. Who was in

837
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: good health, apart from pain in his lower back, possibly

838
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 1: from standing on a board. Basically he was standing on

839
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 1: a platform the entire time he was in the air.

840
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: Oh Man, I also like to think of the people

841
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,320
Speaker 1: that saw this, like a child sees it in the backyard,

842
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: runs inside and says something he's gotten blown away by now,

843
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: and they're like, don't don't lie, don't lie. An official

844
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 1: at the Publicity department of the Highland Forestry Administration Company

845
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: on Thursday confirmed the bloon incident and described who as

846
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,240
Speaker 1: being a man in his forties. He said he's recovering

847
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 1: in the hospital but has declined to be interviewed or

848
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,839
Speaker 1: provide further details. And then, just because CBS News leaves

849
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 1: no stone unturned, pine nuts are found inside pine cone

850
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 1: and our frequent ingredient and dishes served in the Northeast

851
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: formerly known as Manchuria.

852
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 4: So there, I'm glad they included that.

853
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: Me too.

854
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 4: I was wondering because I, you know, my experience with

855
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 4: pine nuts is usually in Italian dishes with like pesto, tomatoes,

856
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 4: pine nuts and so on. Yeah, I was wondering, does

857
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 4: he like Italian food? I wasn't thinking about Manchurian dishes.

858
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, me neither.

859
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 3: This is also I guess I assumed that that's where

860
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,760
Speaker 3: pine nuts came from, but I was never really actually

861
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 3: clear about it.

862
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 2: So me I learned something I learned something, CBS, Thank

863
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 2: you so much.

864
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: Thank you.

865
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks for including that. Also, how do you steal

866
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 4: a weather balloon?

867
00:43:58,239 --> 00:43:58,439
Speaker 1: Yeah?

868
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 4: I'm not saying I want to, but if I were

869
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 4: to do it, what would be the steps to do that?

870
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 2: Well, first, you meet a meteorologist at a bar. Yeah,

871
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 2: you get them dry, You convinced them to.

872
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 3: Take your back, yes, back to the news station, get

873
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 3: the hydrogen tank running.

874
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: I wonder if meteorologists don't like the Internet because it

875
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: made them less celebrities than they were before. When you

876
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: used to turn on the local news or or the

877
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: news and you'd see the meteorologists and they're always the

878
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: fun one. They'd have like a Hawaiian shirt on, or

879
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: they'd have and like now it's just like it used

880
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: to be a big deal to see like a local

881
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: news person, and now because the Internet, nothing's a big

882
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: deal anymore. I wonder if there's part of them as

883
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 1: like boy in the eighties, I could get any seat

884
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: in any restaurant in town.

885
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 3: But you know what, there's this whole thing though with

886
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 3: the Internet about like niche celebrity, you know, and I

887
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:51,320
Speaker 3: feel like the Internet has created that for meteorologists, Like

888
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 3: there's people who are into meteorology, and then those for

889
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 3: those people, they're they're like ten times more famous.

890
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, my friend Eliza and her husband, her

891
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 1: husband Adam, they went to Central Park on a double

892
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: date with other people, so they were on other dates

893
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: with other people and they were playing croquet in Central Park.

894
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:18,879
Speaker 1: Very fun first date. But Eliza brought up that news

895
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 1: broadcaster Sam Champion, which is, you know, we all know

00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:23,320

Speaker 1: stories of their favorite Sam Champion stories that Eliza and

902
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: Adams switched their dates and ended up like going out

903
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 1: for drink afterwards and are now married with children and

904
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 1: for real, yeah, Sam Champion brought them together.

905
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 4: Meteorologists really do make a difference in this world.

906
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 1: Look at that. Oh yeah.

907
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 3: Also, the people that they were at a date with

908
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 3: were like, are you for real that into Sam Champion?

909
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 2: Then just fucking go. Then just go with that person,

910
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:58,320
Speaker 2: because I don't want to hear it anymore.

00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 1: We're talking, we love croquet, We're very into wickeds. Our

Speaker 1: friend Kristin have you lived in New York for like

913
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: ten years longer?

914
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 4: I've lived here for twenty years now. Yes, I'm originally

915

Speaker 4: and named Paul Douglas, who everybody wanted to be in

917

Speaker 4: be invited into his backyard and be interviewed while he

922
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:35,399

Speaker 1: named Mac Primo who is an artist in Brooklyn, and

927
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:55,839

958
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 1: Have you ever done a hot air balloon ride? It's

959
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:32,919
Speaker 1: very fun.

960
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 4: I've never done a hot air balloon ride, but I've

961
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 4: always wanted to. Years ago, I was in Cappadokia, Turkey,

962
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 4: and my boyfriend at the time, I was like, should

Speaker 4: we do this hot air balloon thing? And yeah, said no.

964
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 4: We did break up not long afterward, and not just

965
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 4: because of the hot air balloon, but I was like,

966
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 4: you know what, in the future, I hope that whoever

967
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 4: I'm with wants to get in the hot air balloon

968
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 4: in Cappadocia with me.

00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 1: I hope so absolutely, what a great requirement.

970
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 3: That's true also as someone who has taken a significant

971
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 3: significant other on a hot air balloon ride who then

972
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 3: hated it like I would have preferred. She let me

973
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 3: know before we got in the air balloon that she

974
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:16,840
