1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: Hello puzzlers. Let's start with a quick puzzle. What is

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: something that can be organized, petty or true? Something that

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: can be organized, petty or true? The answer and more

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: puzzling goodness after the break, Hello puzzlers, Welcome back to

5
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: the Puzzler podcast the swan shaped folded towel on your

6
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: fancy hotel puzzle bed. I'm your host, Ad Jacobson. Before

7
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: the break, we asked if you could name something that

8
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: can be organized, petty or true, and the answer is crime,

9
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: organized crime, petty crime, and true crime. I do love

10
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: that phrase organized crime because it makes me think of

11
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: a bank heist folder with spreadsheets and color coded tams.

12
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: I bring this up because our guests are the hosts

13
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 1: of the Ridiculous Crime podcast, produced by our friends at iHeart.

14
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: If you haven't heard it, Ridiculous Crime is a hilarious

15
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: podcast where the hosts share, as they put it outland

16
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: just tales of capers, heists and cons that shine a

17
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: light on the absurd and outrageous side of criminality. Always

18
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent murder free and one hundred percent ridiculous.

19
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: Please welcome, Zaren Burnett and Elizabeth Dutton.

20
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 2: Thank you for having us.

21
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 3: AJ thank you for having us. I'm very excited to

22
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 3: be here.

23
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: We are thrilled to talk puzzles, to talk ridiculousness and crime.

24
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: I know it's hard to choose because they're all like

25
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: your children, but can you give us each one of

26
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: your favorite capers you've covered on the podcast.

27
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 4: Zaren, I would probably go with either the kidnapping of

28
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 4: Frank Sinatra Junior, Oh, which I just love because I

29
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 4: love Frank Sinatra Senior, and I think it's just an

30
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 4: amazing story. The characters are awesome. It takes place in

31
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 4: la and in Vegas and and and Reno. It's just

32
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 4: really really fun. And then I also love another one

33
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 4: we did about a guy who went to a family

34
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 4: function and unfortunately, unbeknownst to him, there was PCP in

35
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 4: one of the dishes that was served at the wedding,

36
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 4: and his wedding just turns into this outrageous PCP like

37
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 4: fun fest if you will, if you have like a

38
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 4: dark sens of humor like I do. But then this

39
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 4: poor guy the next day he has flashbacks and all

40
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 4: of a sudden, he's having a PCP like meltdown again,

41
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 4: and he's out there with his mother in law and

42
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 4: he starts believing he's a super spy.

43
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 2: It's one of my favorites. So those are probably my two.

44
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 3: Those too, I'll do too. I'll give you two. I

45
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 3: enjoyed the story of a book thief who did not

46
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 3: resell his stolen tomes. He just was building a library,

47
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 3: but he was hunted by an antiquarian bookseller who referred

48
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 3: to himself as a biblio dick and was chasing this

49
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 3: guy down and doing all these investigations and that I

50
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 3: was particularly fond of that story. And then Tommy Fitz

51
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: was a guy, an airplane pilot who stole up a

52
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 3: plane twice and each time landed it on the street

53
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 3: in New York City as part of a barber. Yeah,

54
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 3: I'm a big fan of that one.

55
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: Those are great capers. Those are Syria, Frank Sinatra Junior.

56
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: You got laced punch at a wedding. And by the way,

57
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: just to clarify, biblio dick, I'm assuming dick as in

58
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: the detective.

59
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:32,119
Speaker 3: Correct Yes, please think, okay, like acher.

60
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: But he might have been both. He might have been both.

61
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 2: I don't know.

62
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 3: I think he seemed like a pretty stand up gent.

63
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: Okay, very good, Thank you, Thank you for clarifying. I

64
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: will not say cast any more aspersions on the biblio Dick,

65
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: but it's a wonderful podcast and it's all about as

66
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: as you say, ridiculous crime, which there is tons of.

67
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: But in this world there are also ridiculous laws on

68
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: the books, old laws of laws, goofy laws. You might

69
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: have seen lists on the internet. Now, some of these

70
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: supposed laws are myths that I know. It's shocking that

71
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: not everything on the internet is true. But the Internet

72
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: says that in Arizona it is illegal for donkeys to

73
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: be in a bathtub. That is not true, like a

74
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: good law. Yeah, well, I mean for those who want

75
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: I'm all for I'm more libertarian in this sense that

76
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: if you want your donkey to live, to go in

77
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: a bathtub and flagstaff go crazy.

78
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 3: What happens in your bathroom is your business.

79
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 4: This is true. But I was just thinking about the bathtubs.

80
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 4: I'm a bathtub purist.

81
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 3: There's a lot of damage.

82
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, you're going to damage that bathtub. I'm

83
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 4: thinking there must be a good some parents who came

84
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 4: up with this law for a childlike I was.

85
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: I love that you see the world from the bathtub's

86
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: point of view, You're very compassionate.

87
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 2: I try.

88
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: Another law that is not true is that the Internet

89
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: says that in Connecticut, a pickle must be able to bounce.

90
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 4: That's not a law I've seen that actually referenced. And

91
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 4: I thought that did sound like a really good law,

92
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 4: because I'm also a big person for pickles.

93
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean it might be a good law,

94
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: but it doesn't exist. You can serve non bouncing in Connecticut,

95
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: and I assume other states. Now that said, there are

96
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: many ridiculous laws that are in fact real, and I'm

97
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: going to give you a quiz about some of these

98
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: actual ridiculous laws. It's going to be a fill in

99
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: the blank type puzzle. So for instance, and I'm going

100
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: to give you multiple choice, So.

101
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 3: Oh, thank you.

102
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: That's yeah, you're welcome. So, for instance, according to a

103
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: thirteen thirteen law, it is illegal to wear blank to

104
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: the British houses of Parliament. So I'd give you three options.

105
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: CODP A wig in the color of red or yellow,

106
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: or a suit of armor. Which of those is it

107
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: illegal to wear to the British houses of Parliament? Cod

108
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: Peace wig in the color of red or yellow or

109
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: suit of armor?

110
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say it's not cod peace because bigger better exactly,

111
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: just like anyway, so I would says.

112
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 3: The wig is very You know, how do you identify

113
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 3: in Greek tragedies what character you're But I mean, I

114
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 3: don't know. Was everyone bewigged in? Uh at that point?

115
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: I don't know.

116
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 3: But you know if you stroll in in the armor

117
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 3: that you know that's an aggressive that.

118
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 4: Does seem kind of like, yeah, crossing the rubicon you're

119
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 4: not supposed to bring.

120
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 3: And you're saying try me, all right, we're gonna go

121
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 3: with yeah, suit of armor.

122
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: Oh you got it, Yeah, you got a well done,

123
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: well done. Okay, this is the next ridiculous law. After

124
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: Los Angeles spent two hundred thousand dollars cleaning this up

125
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: in two thousand and four, it is now illegal to

126
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: have blank outside your house on Halloween. So this is

127
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: forbidden on Halloween. Is it silly string toilet paper or

128
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: non boiled eggs? You know they're boiled, They're okay.

129
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 2: Silly string toilet paper, non boiled eggs?

130
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 3: Well, and it's okay. So toilet paper is biodegradable. It

131
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 3: makes a mess, but it goes away.

132
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 2: It's made for the sewer systems. That's not a process.

133
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 3: Silly string is not easy to clean up in the eggs.

134
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 3: Why would you have unboiled whole eggs?

135
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I think you're egging things like you're you know,

136
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 2: throwing raw eggs and they splatter. That was my thought,

137
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 2: just as a former, you know.

138
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 3: As a former hooligans, make the call, which one do

139
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 3: you think it is.

140
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go silly string.

141
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 3: It's even more fun, That's what I say.

142
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're going silly string.

143
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: Two for two are to fool. Very impressive. And by

144
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: the way, while we're on the uh, while we're on

145
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: the topic of costumes and Halloween, you did an episode

146
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: about the life and crimes of costumed characters. So that

147
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: was are those like the in in Times Square at all?

148
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 2: Exactly?

149
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 4: When they were fighting police and fighting each other and

150
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 4: then like going to defend each other and then having

151
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 4: their charges brought up and getting locked up and in

152
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 4: their underwear.

153
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 2: They're like, well, I'm not supposed to be here in

154
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 2: my underwear.

155
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 3: I'm elmo.

156
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly.

157
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: So that was their defense that I'm almost no go

158
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 1: to jail. Oh come on, well, I don't know about

159
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: in Hollywood and Times Square. They've just kind of given

160
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: up having the mask on. They just pop it up

161
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: over their heads and they're walking around with their face

162
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 1: and then maybe put it on if you want to

163
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: take a picture.

164
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 3: Really, I'm sorry, like you get it close enough, close

165
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 3: enough for government work.

166
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: As we say, I love it all right, Let's do

167
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: another California one. In California, if you put on a blank,

168
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: you cannot eat the animals involved in that blank? And

169
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: am I talking about a rat race, a literal rat race,

170
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: a frog jumping contest, or a falconry exhibition? Which of

171
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: those is? Can you not eat the animals involved?

172
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 3: The rat race thing is stomach turning, But I really

173
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 3: think this is a Calivers County frog situation. Take it

174
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 3: seriously they do. Is there beautiful frog and you see.

175
00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 2: A frog leg served anywhere near?

176
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 3: Not a one? Not a one in the Gold Country.

177
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,479
Speaker 3: We're gonna say, frog legs, frog jumping.

178
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 1: Three four three.

179
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 3: Yes, we're seeing the thought process that goes on in

180
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 3: our trivia. We're on a trivia team. Steve Harvey Oswald

181
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 3: is the name of the team, and this is what

182
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 3: happens behind the scenes. You got to talk it out, well.

183
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 2: There you go.

184
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: Plus you're experts. You're expert on crime.

185
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 5: We are.

186
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: And by the way, you did mention also the frog.

187
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 1: You did mention that frog jumping story in one of

188
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: your episodes. Yes, it was about how Mark Twain was

189
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: kind of a badass. Was that the idea?

190
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 4: Yes, it is exactly. We did a story on Mark Twain.

191
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 4: The basically a portrait of the artist is a young

192
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 4: badass because Mark Twain was a bit of a roused

193
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 4: about knock about, like pretty much skirting the laws of legality,

194
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 4: going and defending friends and going on the lamb in

195
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 4: Gold Country to hide out from the sheriff of or

196
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 4: basically the vigilante squad in San Francisco. So he's not

197
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 4: the like, you know, white suited like irascible guy we

198
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 4: always think of when he was a young man.

199
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 2: I mean he would he would throw hands exactly.

200
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: Interesting, all right, got a couple of more. I've got

201
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: a let's move to France. Oh it is ill, thank you.

202
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: It is illegal to do blank to the Eiffel Tower

203
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 1: at night, so I will fill in the blanks.

204
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 2: Legal to make love. Let's see.

205
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 3: Well then we went are our choices?

206
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll give you your choices, and yeah, making love

207
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: is okay because it's France. Yeah, I know, come on, Uh,

208
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: it's illegal to take photographs of the Eiffel Tower night,

209
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: to touch the Eiffel Tower, so I guess that does

210
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: fall into the make love or to stand directly under

211
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: the Eiffel Tower at night.

212
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 3: Hmmm, well I think you I know you can take

213
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 3: a picture because I've done so, I mean, and maybe

214
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 3: I got away with it, you know me. I think

215
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 3: you can get close enough to touch it.

216
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,599
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's got a pretty well beneath. But why

217
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 2: following objects?

218
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 3: I don't know should what do you say?

219
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 2: Do you want to go the last one?

220
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 3: Okay? Standing directly beneath?

221
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: I got ya, gotcha. Not only that, we now didn't

222
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: know that Elizabeth is a stuff law. We took photographs

223
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: of the Eiffel Tower without explicit permission. Those photos of

224
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: the Eiffel Tower at night time. The light shows are

225
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: subject to copyright laws. And this was in Snopes. This

226
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: was interesting, so it is legit.

227
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 3: Well, better better to ask forgiveness than permission. So I'm

228
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 3: so sorry Paris.

229
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 4: I thought they're frenchip you know esthetic We're like, you know,

230
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 4: it's not a good photo at night.

231
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 2: We want you to take it only when it in

232
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 2: the daytime.

233
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 3: The light show people take pictures of full moons, and

234
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 3: it's just it's not on your phone. That's not gonna work.

235
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 3: So yeah, oh well, I think it.

236
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: Would be nice if you needed permission to shoot the moon.

237
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 3: Yes, I think so, I think so. All right?

238
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: What about Oh and by the way, you also had

239
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: an episode on a man who sold the Eiffel Tower.

240
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 3: Yes, for parts.

241
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: I love the I love the guy who sold the

242
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Bridge like fourteen times. I love when they saw

243
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: landmarks me too. All right, we got only a couple more.

244
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: How about in Delaware it is against the law for

245
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: a pawnbroker to accept blank as payment. Would it be animals,

246
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: artificial limbs or lingerie? Animals, artificial limbs or lingerie.

247
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go artificial limbs just because it seems fun,

248
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 4: and it's also like, you know, it's really unfair to

249
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 4: the person who's going to be hawking it.

250
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, well yeah, hmm, I'm kind of lean towards animals

251
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 3: animals as currency.

252
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is Delaware, you know, is.

253
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 3: It a negotiable instrument underpants?

254
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 2: Yeah?

255
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 3: I know. You want to say artificial artificial. But did

256
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 3: you know that artificial leg or arm is always what

257
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 3: I pick when I have to play twenty questions. That's

258
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 3: what I want people to guess, because they never do.

259
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 3: But aside from that, okay, we'll go with that.

260
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, all right, go artificial limb.

261
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: First thought is sometimes the best thought.

262
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 3: You got it, nice, nice.

263
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: And I love So that is your strategy in twenty questions.

264
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's either it's either artificial limb or art garfuncle.

265
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 3: No one ever gets them in twenty now. Now I

266
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 3: can't play with anyone listening to this.

267
00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: Just giving away.

268
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 3: I certainly wow.

269
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: All right, how about one last one?

270
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 2: Uh?

271
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: In Little Rock, Arkansas, you cannot do this after nine

272
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: pm at a place where cold drinks or sandwiches are served.

273
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: So you can do it after nine pm and in

274
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: other places, but just not near cold drinks or sandwiches.

275
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:24,359
Speaker 1: And what I'm talking about is play backgammon, or eat pancakes,

276
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: or honk your horn one of those three.

277
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, something it's the horn honk or the backgammon.

278
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 2: A horn honk.

279
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 4: Because of the car hops, like they're like, okay, at night,

280
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 4: you can't be like, oh, where's my food?

281
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 3: Are they counting at a burger as a sandwich? Cold

282
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 3: drinks and cold drinks? Yeah, I think you're right. I

283
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 3: think you would be like you startle them on their

284
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 3: roller skates and then you know, you.

285
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 2: Got the whole lobby of the car hop lobby got

286
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 2: at you.

287
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 3: All right, let's go with that. Which one honking a horn?

288
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: Oh man, you got it one? I know, the Eiffel Tower,

289
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: although that was a big one because now we know about.

290
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 3: Yeah Lessonabeth, I right right here on record.

291
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

292
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: Uh, well, you guys were fantastic and I loved hearing

293
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: about the I mean ridiculous crime. You can pretty much

294
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: link it to anything.

295
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 2: Out of material exactly right.

296
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: It's fantastic. Uh, thank you, Aaron and Elizabeth, Thank you listeners.

297
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: We get you back tomorrow's Aaron and Elizabeth. Yeah, and uh,

298
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: I've got an extra credit for the folks at home.

299
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: So here are three ridiculous laws. Please tell me which

300
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: one is the real ridiculous law and which are the

301
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: two fake ones. Courthouses in New Jersey are required by

302
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: law to have a an image of local hero Thomas Edison

303
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: b two pillars on the same longitude as each other,

304
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: or see the word new at least one foot from

305
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: the word jersey on the courthouse pediment. So which of

306
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: those is real and which to are fake? The answer

307
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 1: next episode. But before we go, I do have some

308
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: late breaking, ridiculous law news, and that is I am

309
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: going to give Zaron and Elizabeth a half point for

310
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: the Eiffel Tower question. That is because the wording on

311
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: that question I didn't think it was totally accurate. We

312
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: had said that it was illegal to take photos of

313
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: the Eiffel Tower at night, but it's more accurate to

314
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: say it's illegal to post or email photos of the

315
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: Eiffel Tower taken at night. That is the copyright violation,

320
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: not find a single instance of France actually taking action

321
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,359
