64
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,360

00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,680

00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,880

Speaker 3: Uh.

88
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 5: Her job was just to like keep away anything that

89
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 5: felt like crawling into a basement apartment. So her job

90
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 5: was just to kind of work the door. But now

91
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:55,040

00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 5: we're like renegotiating the cor track.

94
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: Basically, yes, comedians love attention and adulation and they don't

137
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: into this Victorian child dog satan creature.

138
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 3: It is what a great segue.

139
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 2: All right?

140
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 3: So uh now this was sent in by a ton

141
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 3: of an animals, but the first time I saw it

142
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 3: was from Yanna VERSH Wilkins. Thank you very much, Yanna. Yeah,

143
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 3: this is the title again. Prancer, the haunted Victorian child

144
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 3: Dog has been adopted. Okay, okay, so this was a listing.

145
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 3: So this we've been following this story here at Bananas.

146
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 2: It's a saga.

147
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 3: Real It started yes, okay, so it was April ninth,

148
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 3: really was when this ad was posted, Yes, for people

149
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 3: to try and adopt Prancer. I'm just going to read

150
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 3: the ad because the ad is fucking intense. Here we go,

151
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 3: all right, Prancer? Okay, uh okay. I've tried. I've tried

152
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 3: for the last several months to post this dog for

153
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 3: adoption and make him sound dot dot dot palatable. The

154
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 3: problem is he's just not. There's not a very big

155
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 3: market for neurotic man hating animal hating children, hating dogs

156
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 3: that look like gremlins. But I have to believe there's

157
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 3: someone out there for Prancer because I'm tired and so

158
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 3: is my family. Yes, every day we live in the

159
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 3: grips of the demonic Chihuahua healscape he has created in

160
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 3: our home. If you own a chiuawe, you probably know

161
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 3: what I'm talking about. He's literally the chihuahua mean that

162
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 3: describes him as being fifty percent hate and fifty percent tremble.

163
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 3: If you're intrigued and horrified at how this animal sounds already,

164
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 3: just wait there's more.

165
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 2: Oh boy.

166
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 3: Uh. Prancer came to me obese wearing a cashmere sweater

167
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 3: with a bacon, egg and cheese stuffed in his crate

168
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 3: with him. Oh no, I should have known in that

169
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 3: moment the dog would be a problem. He was owned

170
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 3: by an elderly woman who treated him like a human

171
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 3: and never socialized him. Sprinkle in a little genetic predisposition

172
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 3: for being nervous, and you concoct it a neurotic mess

173
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 3: aka Prancer. My god, Uh I am. I am convinced

174
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 3: that at this point he is not a real dog,

175
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 3: but more like a vessel for a traumatized Victorian child

176
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 3: that now haunts our home.

177
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 2: Yes.

178
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 3: Uh, Prancer only likes women, nothing else. He hates men

179
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 3: more than women do, which says a lot. If you

180
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 3: have a husband, don't bother applying unless you hate him.

181
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 3: Prancer has lived with a man for six months and

182
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 3: he still has not accepted him. He bonds to woman,

183
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 3: takes his job of protection seriously, right, I'm skipping around here.

184
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 3: We also mentioned no kids for Prancer. I think at

185
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 3: this point you can imagine why he's never been in

186
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 3: the presence of a child. But I really, but I

187
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 3: could hard already imagine the demonic noise and shaking fury

188
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 3: that would erupt from his body if he was Prancer

189
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 3: wants to be your only child.

190
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 2: It's incredible.

191
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 3: It just keeps going on. So what are his good traits?

192
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 2: He does?

193
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 3: She does list his good Okay, thank god. He is

194
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 3: loyal beyond belief. Although, to tell you a secret, his

195
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 3: complex is really just a facade for his fear. If

196
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: someone tried to kill you, I can guarantee he would

197
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 3: runaway screeching. But as far as companionship, you will never

198
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 3: be alone again. He likes to go for car rides.

199
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 3: He's housebroken, he knows a few basic commands. Oh, he's

200
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 3: quiet and non destructive when left loan at home. And

201
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 3: even though we call him boloney face, he's kind of

202
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 3: cute to look at. He also smiles when he is excited.

203
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 3: And the picture that they've posted is the most atorrible

204
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 3: dog I've ever seen. Okay, he's just he's like smising

205
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 3: at you. That was like retreated gowl written. Yes, that

206
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 3: was retreated three hundred seventy six thousand times, faved three

207
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 3: hundred and two thousand times. So so a woman showed

208
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 3: up for Prancer her name Okay, So first off, this

209
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 3: is an NPR. This article from April twenty seventh, twenty

210
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 3: twenty one, written by really a typer like no other,

211
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 3: Becky Sullivan, writer of The Ages.

212
00:10:55,520 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 2: Oh the best there's ever been a typing article.

213
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 5: So Prance is just basically a grandparent. Yes, it's like

214
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 5: adopting like a grandparent.

215
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 3: This like in a tiny little package.

216
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, just a just a crotchety old across the old woman,

217
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 5: I guess. Yeah, I mean a man hating well, I

218
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 5: guess if it's a dude, dude, dog, I guess it

219
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 5: would be a dude.

220
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 6: Yeah grandpa.

221
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, So just a crotchety grandpa who only likes his stories.

222
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,479
Speaker 5: Because I imagine Prancer has like a favorite like TV.

223
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 6: Channel, you know what I mean.

224
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 3: It's definitely yeah.

225
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 5: I feel like if if Prancer can't, I can't see

226
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 5: like the bold and the beautiful every day. There's that

227
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 5: or something something to that effect.

228
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 3: Our ankles are bleeding absolute And so this woman finally

229
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 3: adopted him. Hundreds of applications came in, of course, but

230
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 3: Ariel dave And who was then on the Today Show

231
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 3: with Prancer because this went so fucking viral, Okay, she said,

232
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 3: I'm a single woman. I'm a single lesbian. I live

233
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 3: with another woman. I don't have any men in my life.

234
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 3: I work in a women's reason. What I can animals? Oh,

235
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 3: just felt like a perfect match. I think so, yes,

236
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 3: and uh yeah, everybody's everybody's happy. Now, Prancer's doing well.

237
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 3: I think Prancer now has an Instagram page.

238
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: Of course, you gotta monetize everything a brand.

239
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 6: Absolutely so.

240
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 3: Ariel Davis is Banana of the week. I'd say for

241
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 3: adopting Prancer and take absolutely taking that on.

242
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 6: That is the Lord's work.

243
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 5: Right, I mean, who else is gonna who else is

244
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 5: gonna matter with me?

245
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 2: He would hate Prancer, would want nothing to do with me.

246
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 2: And I would try. I would try to love that dog,

247
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 2: but it would not love me back.

248
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 3: It's life.

249
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 5: I would have to tell you you gotta let it go.

250
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,719
Speaker 5: You gotta let it go. That dog ain't gonna love

251
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 5: you back.

252
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. And it's tough too with an animal. You're always like,

253
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 3: if I love this animal enough, it'll love Yeah.

254
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 5: You don't think you don't think of animals just uh

255
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 5: sitting around being like nope, never right. You know you

256
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 5: think of animals not realizing that they have a shot yet.

257
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 5: But then you can just show them what their shot

258
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 5: is and they're like, all right, I'll take that shot.

259
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 5: But you never think of an animal just looking you

260
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 5: over and going not at all, I am no way interested,

261
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 5: yes with what you've got.

262
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 2: No, not us, We are not connecting.

263
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: It's I appreciate the person passing it on to brutal honesty.

264
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: I think that's so essential, because there's nothing worse than

265
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: when somebody repeatedly tells you that their dog is normally

266
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: such a good dog, and then the thing is just

267
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: jumping on you and tearing everything in the streds and he's

268
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: normally not like this, and this is not this is

269
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: a bad indication. And then the fifth time you go

270
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: over and still does it, you're just like, oh, you're

271
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: just a pathological liar who doesn't know what to try

272
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: your dog at all?

273
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 2: So much.

274
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 5: I used to have a pit bull, of course, of

275
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 5: course I did, and and uh, she was a very

276
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 5: she was a sweet dog. She was a very patient dog,

277
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 5: but she was still a dog. And I lived in

278
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 5: a neighborhood where the kids were overly friendly, like would

279
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 5: already be trying to reach into her mouth while asking

280
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 5: does she bite? Like oh no, you know, so I

281
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 5: had to teach a lot of children how to wait

282
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 5: and also, these are animals, so you know, just a

283
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 5: lot of answers like, well, I mean she hasn't bitten

284
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 5: me yet.

285
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 6: You may be the delicious one.

286
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, so you may want to slow up, don't run

287
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 5: over and try to pet the dog.

288
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 6: She was.

289
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 5: She was completely white with a black one known black

290
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 5: spot on her eye, and very cute, very attractive dog.

291
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 6: I used to get cat called for the dog.

292
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: Ohh well, that always makes it feel good, you know,

293
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: that's always put a skip in your steps.

294
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 6: Yeah.

295
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 5: I was once like the dog she had done her

296
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 5: business behind a bush and I had my hand in

297
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 5: the plastic bag and I'm going to clean up after

298
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 5: and this car like stopped and my ass was like

299
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 5: to the street.

300
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 6: So I was like, oh.

301
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 5: Great, here comes and the yell something and he was like, hey,

302
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 5: you're doing a good thing there cleaning up after the dog,

303
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 5: and then just drove off. I was like, was I

304
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 5: just cat called for my civic responsibility?

305
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 2: I think that's so funny.

306
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 3: That was a personality cat call. If cleaning up shit

307
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 3: can be considered part.

308
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 6: Of yeah, but it is a choice. It is a choice. Yeah,

309
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 6: clearly no one else really did that.

310
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: Just astounded. One time I was downtown l A. An

311
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: ex girlfriend of mine drove a Volkswagen Beetle and it

312
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: was convertible.

313
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 2: She was out of town. I was driving her car.

314
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: I think I was picking up a friend and the

315
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: top was down and I pull up to an intersect

316
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: in downtown and there was a woman standing on the

317
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: corner and we kind of make eye contact. I was

318
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure I was listening to dumb loud music, and

319
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: she goes, hey, nice butt, and I was like, you too,

320
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: driving yeah, I said, so I looked right out and

321
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: go hey, you too, and then kept driving. And then

322
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: I went about and she made a face like very

323
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: strange that you said that back to me, And then

324
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: I drove about fifty feet and realized that she had

325
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: said hey, nice bug, like Volkswagen bug butt. So just

326
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: made hard eye contact while like Scissor Sisters are playing

327
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: and just go hey, you too. But I thought I

328
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: was getting a sit down butt compliment, which is.

329
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 3: Like the most most absurd compliment when you can't see

330
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 3: someone's butt.

331
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 5: But also either way, I don't know if your response

332
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 5: was no, like I mean, if she was indeed complimenting

333
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 5: the butt that she could not see. Yeah, so that

334
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 5: is that was odd and we're doing the same. And

335
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 5: maybe it could have been her thinking, oh wow, that

336
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 5: I do have to stop saying that to people, you know,

337
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 5: like maybe you helped her.

338
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 6: Realize a few things.

339
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 5: But if not, if she's saying, you know, nice bug,

340
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 5: and you're like, thanks you too, and she didn't look

341
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 5: down to see what bug you were talking about.

342
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 6: No, I mean you can't put this. You can't put

343
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 6: this all on you.

344
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 2: Thank you.

345
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 6: She could have taken steps, She could have taken steps.

346
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 2: It's about clarify, that's right.

347
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll go to drive around for the rest of

348
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: my life looking for that woman in downtown. I'm gonna

349
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: buy a Ballswagen bug just for this reuse.

350
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 5: That's the only way you'll find her. That's the only

351
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 5: way financing. You're gonna have to finance.

352
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 2: A bug, the official car of East Banana Land.

353
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 3: I honestly, I just hope that prancer doesn't get sent back,

354
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 3: you know what I mean? I hate Oh yeah, And

355
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 3: at this point, can't you can't send.

356
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 6: No, No, we can't.

357
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 5: We can't take the We can't take that kind of

358
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 5: stress in our lives. We are entirely too invested. No,

359
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 5: we're too invested.

360
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: We're at the point in life, we're coming out of

361
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: the great quard, We're stepping into the grand reopening. And

362
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: now it's like, let's just say yes to things. Let's

363
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: do things we haven't done before. Let's accept compliments from

364
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: friends and family. Let's not just deflect. Let's really get

365
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 1: into it with each other, including Prancer and this woman,

366
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: who is honestly the perfect person. Maybe we should send

367
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: this woman and the dog to Mars. They seem perfectly happy.

368
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: If it's just that together, they don't need anyone else.

369
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 5: I certainly don't want to jinx their budding relationship. But

370
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 5: what if Prancer is just a pill?

371
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 2: What if he's just you know, what if he's just

372
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 2: he's a zero.

373
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 5: I don't Yeah, I mean not all Not all pets

374
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 5: are winners, not all animals are winners.

375
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 3: I know I was. I think I talked about this

376
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 3: on a miniso, but I don't think I've talked about

377
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 3: anyth cares. So, which was that when I it was

378
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 3: in my twenties. My girlfriend and I went away way

379
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 3: for like a couple of days and asked our friend

380
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,959
Speaker 3: to watch our cat, and so we stayed in our

381
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 3: apartment and watch our cat. We came home, yes, and

382
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 3: he had gotten another cat. And then and then he

383
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 3: left the cat in our apartment and was like, it's

384
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 3: your cat now. And we were like, we didn't want

385
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 3: another cat. And this cat, this cat, he was like,

386
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 3: he was just like he was a very kind man.

387
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 3: He was an artist, very sensitive and very smart, kind

388
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 3: of a genius kind of person. But just had seen

389
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 3: this woman was like, she's like, I'm get rid of

390
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 3: this cat. She was hurt the cat. And he's like, no,

391
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 3: I'll take the cat. And then brought the cat to

392
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,239
Speaker 3: our house and then just left the cat there. And

393
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 3: then for that cat hated our cat. And they both

394
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 3: were very nice cats. But it peeded in the house.

395
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 3: Every time we left the house, it would just start

396
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 3: marking to the point where and so we did it

397
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 3: for one year. We had one year of a cat urinating.

398
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 3: Every time we left the house. We put we would

399
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 3: we existed. We lived in this apartment in Brooklyn for

400
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 3: one year with a two twenty five foot blue tarps

401
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 3: that we would put down over everything in our apartment

402
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 3: eve and then we would come back and there would

403
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:22,199
Speaker 3: be urine cat urine like floating around on one of

404
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 3: the tarps, and we would have to clean the tarp up,

405
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 3: fold the tarp, put the tarp. Boy, we did that

406
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 3: every single time we left the house for a fucking

407
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 3: year before just being like calling up and being like,

408
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 3: you gotta take this fucking cat back.

409
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 5: Yes, o man, we are now realizing why that woman

410
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 5: was screaming about getting rid of that cat. Someone who's

411
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,360
Speaker 5: that like that passionate about getting rid of an animal,

412
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 5: stay out of it, you know, as a that's an

413
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 5: A and B conversation. Yea, So definitely see your way.

414
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 5: Don't don't stick around for it, you know, like, oh, boy.

415
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 2: But nope.

416
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like picking up a h picking up a

417
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 5: boyfriend that you're seeing being broken up with.

418
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, what about Yeah he could come with me for

419
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 2: a year. He's gonna pee all over everything.

420
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 6: Put a tarpa on everything. But yeah, so that just

421
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 6: feels feels like a mistake.

422
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,080

Speaker 5: Occasionally there'd be like a drying of a of a

439
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,520

00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: was endeared by students and staff. This isn't Caldwell, Idaho,

471
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 1: Idaho getting weirder by the story the Gemstone State, I think,

472
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure many icons face a less than

473
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: illustrious death. What a bold statement, Brian Holmes, The Hitman homes.

474
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 6: That's why they call him the Hitman.

475
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 2: That's right.

476
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: Many icons face a less than illustrious death, but few

477
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 1: suffered such indignation as Sparkles the Unicorn, the unofficial mascot

478
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 1: of the College of Western Idaho.

479
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 2: Sparkles had a good life.

480
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: Until their home outgrew him and wanted to go in

481
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 1: a different direction. For the first ten years of c

482
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 1: wi's existence, the community college had no official mascot at all,

483
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: but students and staff gave life to Sparkles, a true

484
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: mascot and representation of the school. Sparkles came to be

485
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 1: after the college was founded in two thousand and eight.

486
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: I remember it well. We were all alive.

487
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 2: At that point. Hmmmm.

488
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: Anybody who wasn't, you're probably too young for this podcast

489
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight at what was once Boise State

490
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: Universities are Boise State University's Nampa campus. Early on, there

491
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: were numerous old Boise State logos left behind that actually matters.

492
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: So in twenty nineteen, an associate professor named Reggie Jane

493
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: spoke with Brian the Hitman Holmes for an Idaho Life

494
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: feature and explain that it started with a joke. All

495
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 1: the best things in life start as a joke.

496
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 6: Quote.

497
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: Our vice president, Victor Wants Watson joking remarked, I'm going

498
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: to get a bunch of horn stickers and put them

499
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: all over the Boise State Bronco stickers and will be

500
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: the Bronco Corns.

501
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 2: Also kind of.

502
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 1: A tough name, doesn't roll off the tongue, No hard

503
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: to Yeah, you don't want to sign your check with

504
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: Scotty Bronco Corn. Then what happened? So everybody loves this.

505
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: Everybody loves Sparkles Unicorn. That's a great college mascot. C

506
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: wi's board of tr Rusties eventually decided, though these bums,

507
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: that it was time to give the college an official

508
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,959
Speaker 1: mascot and narrowed it down to thirteen hundred of the

509
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: thirteen hundred survey submissions, then to three.

510
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 3: That's normal, hundred to three. That is that's some insider trading.

511
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 6: That bracket.

512
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, oh, I know, that's incredible.

513
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 3: And what Sparkles on there was Sparkles one of the three.

514
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: It doesn't say I would certainly hope, so I can't

515
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: imagine why it wasn't the leading contender. Right again, I

516
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: think they have the Gemstone state or something, so Sparkles

517
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: are built into the dirt up there. But they're bozos.

518
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: So the board later decided, and I'm not mad at this,

519
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: this isn't the worst mascot I've ever heard.

520
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 2: Pretty good.

521
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: The board later decide to make it an ode to

522
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: the former governor cl Butch, and the mascot is an otter,

523
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: so they are now the seed w I Otters. C

524
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: w I says they plan to release their official otter

525
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 1: logo later this fall.

526
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 2: Please, said Kurt and my T shirts. I'll support the

527
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 2: hell out of this.

528
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 3: I'm actually I didn't know if I could support something

529
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 3: more than a unicorn, and I do think an otter

530
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 3: is it?

531
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 2: Do you think it is? Yes?

532
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 3: Definitely. It's not intimidating, there's nothing there's nothing warlike or

533
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 3: competitive about.

534
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 2: A little otter.

535
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 3: He's just not his back. He's chilling little baby in

536
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 3: his lap eating some clams.

537
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

538
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:36,959
Speaker 5: Okay, but wait, so the unofficial mascot was old Sparkles.

539
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 2: Right, Sparkles the unicorn unofficial Okay.

540
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 5: And then they decided officially they wanted an otter correct.

541
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 5: So now basically our final, the final round is.

542
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 1: Where you're going corn the otter. I think we go

543
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 1: otter corn. I think everybody would love an enchanting, floating

544
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: otter corn.

545
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 2: Just a little guy with little yeah, using a little

546
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 2: rock to smash Clamsy's got a horn.

547
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 5: To horn, yeah, but a small horn. Nothing that's going

548
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 5: to make him tip over? Yeah, yeah he's not.

549
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: She's are otter corn. I would love to see what

550
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: an otter corn looks like. It's like a Norwal and

551
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 1: an otter.

552
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 3: I mean maybe if you want to draw an otter corn,

553
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 3: we will definitely post it in our stories.

554
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 2: Guys, yep, sure will. Oh my gosh, I love that.

555
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 6: Oh be careful of that.

556
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 2: I I people get.

557
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 5: People get carried away when they start drawing mythical animals

558
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 5: or animals in general.

559
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 6: Sometimes go one click too many and it's like.

560
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 2: Right, no knocking at the door. Yeah, you're just.

561
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 6: That's not where we meant to put the horn, y'all?

562
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 2: Who is that for?

563
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 6: For anyone?

564
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: I I sponsor to girls rec league softball teams in

565
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: Reister Sound, Maryland, and I've been doing it for about

566
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: three seasons, four seasons. Last year for obviously reasons it

567
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: was called off, but because I'm the farthest away from Maryland,

568
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: they just I just get updates like hey, do you

569
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: want to do these two teams again? And I say yeah.

570
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: So they're like great, will they start tomorrow or whatever?

571
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,240

572
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: going to be pink, and so I was like, okay,

573
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: Like I guess all the other dads are and moms

574
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: are coaches. And then they pick colors.

575
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 3: Get in have a question.

576
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

577
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 3: So on the back it says sponsored by Scotti landis.

Speaker 3: You're the best bananimal. Uh. This was printed up in

739
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 3: a bunch of places, but the Daily Beasts seem to

740
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 3: have the best title. This is by Alison Quinn, news editor.

741
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 2: Here it is.

742
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 3: An elderly husband and wife duo living in an assisted

743
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 3: living facility in Tennessee caused quite a stir last month

744
00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 3: after busting out of a secure unit using Morse ode.

745
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 3: The Tennessee In reports the pair, who has not been identified,

746
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 3: suffer from dementia and Alzheimer's and were living in part

747
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 3: of the Lebanon facility with an electronic door lock, but

748
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 3: they baffled staffers after vanishing from the premises, leaving employees

749
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 3: wondering how they could have possibly gotten past the secure

750
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 3: door with an electronic keypad. Documents from the Tennessee Department

751
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 3: of Health show that after the couple was found wandering

752
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 3: along a nearby road following their escape, the man confessed

753
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 3: to staffers that he previously worked with Morse code in

754
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:38,240
Speaker 3: the military wow and had simply deciphered the door code

755
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 3: by listening closely to the sounds it made when employees

756
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 3: used it. The facility was hit with a two thousand

757
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 3: dollars final result of the couple's get away, and it

758
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 3: has since changed its door codes. But this dude's just

759
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 3: gonna listen.

760
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 5: To its longest if you're using the same company, and

761
00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 5: that company uses a sped up morse, which is wild.

762
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 5: I can't believe that all of this technology that is

763
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,919
Speaker 5: just like we are the cutting edge of technology, we're

764
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 5: giving you the new new, You're never going to be

765
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 5: able to break through what we're doing. And they're literally

766
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 5: using like codes from vitrolas or.

767
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 6: Whatever to get us.

768
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 5: I guess they thought anyone who knew that died off,

769
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 5: but they didn't.

770
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,800
Speaker 6: They didn't die off. And then young nerds are learning

771
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:30,240
Speaker 6: that stuff all the time.

772
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, young nerds love morse code stuffing their life away.

773
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 2: For me, I don't understand it at all.

774
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: I remember the SOS commercials for the SOS brillopads or whatever.

775
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 2: They would go, dunt dunt dun't don't don't dun't, dunt

776
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 2: don't dun't. So that's SOS. I know that, Yeah, that

777
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 2: locked in.

778
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 5: I used to have a necklace that had at L

779
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 5: for Atlanta, but they had it in morse code, and

780
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,240
Speaker 5: I didn't exactly know where all the letters stopped and started.

781
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:03,919
Speaker 6: I had to look it up, but it was just like.

782
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 5: It was just like little yeah, yeah, that hung as

783

787
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 6: I know that you are entirely too old for me.

788
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 3: Yes, it's a good test. You were in World War Two.

789
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 6: Nope, nope, I appreciate it.

790
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 3: But no, I tell you, I'm I. I am very

791
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 3: excited about the fact that they got out.

792
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 2: Me too.

793
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 3: I am sad that they didn't live a full life, free,

794
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 3: free as birds. Yeah, this is I think this is

795
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 3: my I think it's like maybe one of my like

796
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 3: my main fears in life is like being in a

797
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 3: retirement home. Yes, like getting like just getting old and

798
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 3: being put away somewhere. I think that that is just

799
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 3: going to be for the rest of my life, probably

800
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 3: just like a dull, aching fear in the back of

801
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 3: my head. Don't want to bring it down. I know

802
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:08,359
Speaker 3: we're having a good time.

803
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I'm gonna golden girls it. I'm one hundred

804
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 1: percent going to Golden Girls it.

805
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 3: I'm just a house.

806
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,439
Speaker 1: If I'm lucky enough to live that long, I'm gonna

807
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: find people a similar age, and I'm gonna be like,

808
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 1: let's all share a house, five of us. Let's like

809
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:26,200

Speaker 1: our money, we pull our resources, we pull the party.

813
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna Golden Girls it to the end.

814
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 3: Are you gonna do it true Golden Girls style and

815
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 3: start doing it when you're fifty four?

816
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 2: Yes?

817
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna be the only man that's the other

818
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,879
Speaker 1: That's I'm just kidding. I'd rather live with like two

819
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: old couples same age as me, and then like one

820
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 1: or two other like singles. Guys are goals, and I

821
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,440

00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: to things.

00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 2: We support each other.

824
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,479
Speaker 1: If someone's got to go to a doctor's appointment, somebody

825
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 1: goes with them. I think it's the only way to win.

826
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 1: And yeah, that's what I'm going to Ye, that's.

827
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 3: Not a bad idea.

828
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 5: I'm already starting to build my coven now, So I

829
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 5: get it. I absolutely get it. This story does remind

830
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 5: me of one of my favorite one hit wonder songs

831
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 5: by the group Fastball and the song The Way Yes,

832
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 5: which is about an older couple just kind of deciding

833
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 5: to go out on a walk, and it's based on

834
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 5: a true story of a couple that just kind of

835
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 5: shuffled off.

836
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,240
Speaker 2: Did you know that? Yeah?

837
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, the song, you know, the the chorus is like something, Yeah,

838
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 5: everyone could see the road that they walk on. It's

839
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 5: always sunny, it never gets cold. Where were they going

840
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 5: without ever knowing the way?

841
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 6: And that's what the song is.

842
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 5: But it's one of my favorite things where it's an

843
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 5: extremely peppy, very funnes sing song about a super depressing thing.

844
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 3: Yes, I totally get the idea that they is, the

845
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 3: idea that they just like walk into the sea or something.

846
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,479
Speaker 6: Yeah, they like walk off a cliff or something.

847
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 5: I think like they were camping and they just kind

848
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 5: of wandered off.

849
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 3: Whoa.

850
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 6: But you know, if you put.

851
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 5: A catchy like bridge behind it, it's really it doesn't

852
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:17,879
Speaker 5: seem that bad.

853
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 2: That's right.

854
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 6: It'll get you a hit. It'll get you a hit.

855
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 6: It'll get one hit is.

856
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:24,879
Speaker 2: One hit.

857
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, the songwriters probably living comfortably. He probably writes jingles

858
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:33,240
Speaker 1: and stuff for kids, cartoons. He probably scores animated movies.

859
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 2: He did it. Yeah, he found the way probably. Yeah.

860
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 1: It's a bummer that these two that like one of

861
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 1: like the guy or the gal that was like the

Speaker 1: night attendant, didn't drive a motorcycle with a sidecar.

863
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 2: So not only do they sneak out, but they hop

864
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 2: in and just gun it. She she drives, he rides.

865
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:52,120

00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: moving into a retirement home.

00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 2: So.

905
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 1: If there's one thing independent, young people and senior citizens

906
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: have in common, it's the need for affordable housing.

907
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 2: This is tragic, This is true.

908
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 1: It's the search to find a low cost apartment that

909
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: led one teen she's nineteen, to accidentally move into a

910
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 1: retirement community. I'm sure nobody was mad about this, by

911
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:05,320
Speaker 1: the way, Madison Cahoots. Kohout, Madison Cahoot, mad Cahoot.

912
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:08,320
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me? Her real last name is Cahoots.

913
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: If I would marry someone whose last name was Cahoo

914
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 1: and take their name, oh yeah, Scott Scotty Cahoot. Oh

915
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: my god, that sounds like a Cowboys stand up comedian

916
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 1: right before Vaudeville came in.

917
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 2: Scotty Cahoot.

918
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 1: Madison Hoot, nineteen, told Newsweek that she was moving from

919
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 1: Oklahoma to Arkansas, as so many people do, and was

920
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: searching for a two bedroom apartment online. After finding a

921
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:36,320
Speaker 1: quote superspacious end quote apartment that was listed at only

922
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty dollars a month. Cahoot, I mean

923
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,720
Speaker 1: she's a genius. Cahoot said she signed the least without

924
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:47,839
Speaker 1: looking at it in person and moved in days later.

925
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 1: While she found it odd that her neighbors were all

926
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: over sixty five years of age, it didn't click until

927
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: a week after she moved in, when she noticed the

928
00:46:56,719 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 1: retirement home sign outside of her building, a sign we

929
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:02,280
Speaker 1: will put on her Instagram stories.

930
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:05,799
Speaker 2: Is humongous there, as big as she is.

931
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:09,720
Speaker 3: It is says senior in it. It says it right there.

932
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Cahot says, the first week of moving in

933
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: here was crazy, Probably not that crazy.

934
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 2: I was busy finding a job and setting up my apartment.

935
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 2: I didn't even notice.

936
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 1: I thought it was a bit weird that all my

937
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:26,879
Speaker 1: neighbors were significantly older than me. But she joked about

938
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 1: the blunder on a now viral TikTok video. All the

939
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: kids love TikTok and morse Code. Those are their two

940
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 1: favorite things to talk and Morse Code. I showed her

941
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: laughing next to the senior Citizen's apartment sign. Again it's

942
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 1: as big as she is, with the caption me getting

943
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: ready to move into an apartment out of state that

944
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 1: I've never seen in person, and I realized I just

945
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 1: moved myself into a retirement home.

946
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 2: She seems to have a great sense of humor about it.

947
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: We Love Madison Cahot got three point five million views.

948
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:52,320
Speaker 2: Black blah blah blah blah.

949
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: One major perk, she said, is I can play music

950
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,879
Speaker 1: whenever I want. Because some of them cannot hear. I mean,

951
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 1: she's taken a shot. Let's take it your elders.

952
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 3: Madison at a moment, at a moment.

953
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 2: She needed the one joke, respect your elders.

954
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 1: Another thing is is when I get home after long day,

955
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,839
Speaker 1: everyone asks me how I'm doing, which is what I

956
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 1: want in my Golden Girls situation built in East Banana Land, Wisconsin.

957
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 2: Ending the video, she joked, and.

958
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 1: Remember, if you're struggling with rent, start your retirement early.

959
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,840
Speaker 2: That's a good joke, all right.

960
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 1: So for those wondering if there's a minimum age requirement

961
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 1: to live in the buildings, who told Newsweek that while

962
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 1: the apartments are designed for seniors, they are in equal

963
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:36,240
Speaker 1: opportunity housing, meaning they cannot discriminate based on age.

964
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 2: So get in.

965
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 3: Is that's Canada for you. Beautiful, beautiful Canada, Canada.

966
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: Arkansas, Arkansas home of the Waltons, Fort Smith, Arkansas.

967
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 2: Great Vietnamese food.

968
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 3: I hope, she stays. I was just thinking that this

969
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 3: would be a great way instead of nursing homes, you

970
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 3: could just have people who are supposed to go into

971
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 3: a nursing home just become ras and dorms.

972
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 2: Great idea.

973
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 3: So I feel like, if you don't want to live

974
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 3: with a bunch of old people, then the other option

975
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:10,799
Speaker 3: is to live only with eighteen to nineteen year old

976
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 3: great idea. Oh wow, there you go to set your

977
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 3: two choices.

978
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:17,240
Speaker 5: Either way, I would not want the job of having

979
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 5: to clean up at either No.

980
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 1: Established, Yeah, you don't want to be the janitor. The

981
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:23,800
Speaker 1: janitor's got to be like a six year old and

982
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: unjaded's six year old.

983
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 6: That just stick.

984
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:26,359
Speaker 2: It's a game.

985
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 5: Yeah right, that's the only way, because that is that's

986
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:31,360
Speaker 5: a lot, that's a lot of cleanup.

987
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: My friend Russ did this in Golf Breeze, Florida. He

988
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 1: intentionally moved into a senior systems home with this guy

989
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 1: named Schaeffer because I think the rent was like three

990
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. But he he went, he drove by it.

991
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:47,880
Speaker 1: He saw the apartments looking kind of good. They had

992
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: a pool, they had like a miniature golfer, like a

993
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 1: chip and green, and he talked his way into it

994
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:56,320
Speaker 1: and lived in a retirement community for at least two years.

995
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 2: It was incredible. Wow, I loved it.

996
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 1: Where Where where Golf bree Florida, So between Pensacola downtown Pencacall,

997
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:04,439
Speaker 1: Penscayla City and Penscaol Beach.

998
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 2: There's this little strip of.

999
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 1: Land where a weird amount of news and strange things

1000
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:15,319
Speaker 1: come out of and very interesting people. And he just

1001
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 1: was like, everything's too expensive and all the new builds sucks.

1002
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:18,759
Speaker 2: So he moved in.

1003
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:20,839
Speaker 1: This guy's Schaeffer by the way, I don't know much

1004
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:22,799
Speaker 1: about him, but my one memory is every time I

1005
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 1: would crash over there the next morning, he would be like, hey, Scotty,

1006
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 1: and I'd be like, hey man, you'd make coffee like

1007
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 1: head into the office. So I thought he had some

1008
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:32,319
Speaker 1: corporate job, and then years later I found out that

1009
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 1: he was just the daytime manager at office depot and

1010
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 1: he called it the office. Would be like, yeah, up

1011
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:42,279
Speaker 1: early going to the office. I'm like, wow, it's an

1012
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:47,240
Speaker 1: assistant manager. But Russ and I would swim in the pool.

1013
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: After about eight thirty nine o'clock, everybody was asleep, so

1014
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 1: we had to pull to ourselves with the hot tub

1015
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: to ourselves. We would play golf, we would hang out,

1016
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 1: we'd play music. Nobody cared well. He was really into

1017
00:50:58,080 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 1: the roots at the time, so we'd just watch quest

1018
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:03,439
Speaker 1: love rumming videos. Nobody complained, and this one older guy

1019
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 1: taught us how to pregame. He came over one day

1020
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 1: when we were day drinking and he goes, I'll show

1021
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:11,319
Speaker 1: you how to drink, and he uh. We put out

1022
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:15,800
Speaker 1: three pint glasses empty. Then we each put three bush

1023
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 1: lights behind them, and then you poured half a bush

1024
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 1: light into your pine class. You toasted, chugged it, put

1025
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:24,280
Speaker 1: it down, and then you waited one minute on the microwave,

1026
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:26,839
Speaker 1: and then you filled another half toasted, and we all

1027
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 1: drank three beers and what is that? Four minutes? Five minutes.

1028
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:32,360
Speaker 1: And he's like, that's how you pregame. And then he

1029
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,839
Speaker 1: just walked away, and.

1030
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:37,800
Speaker 3: In his mind he's like, I got three free beers.

1031
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:39,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, he didn't even let.

1032
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:44,719
Speaker 5: Are you have to beware of older men that come

1033
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 5: up and go let me show you how that? Nope,

1034
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,280
Speaker 5: uh uh no, I don't. I bet this isn't legal anymore.

1035
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:52,839
Speaker 5: I bet we're not supposed to do this. I bet

1036
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:54,280
Speaker 5: this messes with the environment.

1037
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 1: Even let me just let me you just run in

1038
00:51:58,200 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 1: the opposite direction.

1039
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:01,280
Speaker 6: No, I will not, I refuse.

1040
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:05,280
Speaker 1: This was also the air where Russ primarily was shirtless,

1041
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 1: wearing full length khaki pants.

1042
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 2: And barefoot. I don't know why.

1043
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 1: So this gentleman decided that these two young guys, Yeah.

1044
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 6: He's speaking his language.

1045
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 2: He's speaking his language.

1046
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 1: So to this day, if anybody's like, let's pregame and

1047
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 1: get out of here, I just do the old half

1048
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 1: pint chug, Wait a minute, half pint chug, wait a minute,

1049
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 1: and it still works. Ready.

1050
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 2: Wow.

1051
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 5: I've lived on a street that had a lot of

1052
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 5: older people on it.

1053
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:31,919
Speaker 6: It wasn't zoned for it.

1054
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 5: It was just they own their houses and at a

1055
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:40,439
Speaker 5: time where you know, their kids were all off doing things, sure,

1056
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,400
Speaker 5: and they weren't quite sick enough for the kids to

1057
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:44,239
Speaker 5: come back and check up on them. It was like

1058
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 5: a few years before that. So it was a lot

1059
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:47,439
Speaker 5: of that.

1060
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:52,240
Speaker 6: But the danger of being the younger person in the neighborhood.

1061
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 5: Is the cat calling. A lot of this was also

1062
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 5: when I have my dogs, so there are a lot of.

1063
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 6: Just older men, yeah, just hollering at me.

1064
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:05,319
Speaker 5: And I already like I I have a thing for

1065
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 5: like thrift store dresses, vintage dresses. So I'm walking around

1066
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 5: in vintage dresses walking a dog, I you know, And

1067
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 5: so I think I triggered something in an old man's brain,

1068
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:18,799
Speaker 5: you know.

1069
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:21,399
Speaker 6: One man, one man said that.

1070
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 5: He was like, hey, hey, I keep trying to get

1071
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:26,960
Speaker 5: you to come over here to drink a beer with me,

1072
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:28,839
Speaker 5: but you always got that dog with you. But I'm

1073
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 5: gonna get you over here. I'm gonna get you. I'm

1074
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 5: gonna get you in my house. And I was like, Nope,

1075
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:36,880
Speaker 5: that doesn't work anymore, sir, did it?

1076
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 2: Did it ever work? Did it ever?

1077
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 6: I don't think it.

1078
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 5: That might be white wh he's alone in his own house,

1079
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 5: like I'm gonna get you. And then there and then

1080
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 5: there was a guy who lived a couple of doors

1081
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 5: down from me, an older gentleman, who said that I

1082
00:53:54,760 --> 00:54:00,760
Speaker 5: made his nature rise. That's as yeah, I've never hear okay,

1083
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 5: oh yeah, no, that's a that's a classic.

1084
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,840
Speaker 6: That's in a lot of well, that's in some old

1085
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:07,320
Speaker 6: R and B songs, you know.

1086
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, but yeah, you know it's just a like I'm like, okay, yeah,

1087
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:13,919
Speaker 5: I know what that means, sir.

1088
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 6: I guess I'm moving. I guess I'm moving.

1089
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 2: I'm moving.

1090
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 1: What do I need to do to make your nature.

1091
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 6: Go back down?

1092
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 2: Yeah? I make it levined nature. That's what I'm here.

1093
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:28,839
Speaker 3: Turns out old timey harassment feels the same as new.

1094
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. Leave them alone, Leave them alone.

1095
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 1: Once in New Orleans, I was walking about ten feet

1096
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 1: ahead of the girls dating at the time, and this

1097
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 1: older gentleman walks up to me goes, hey. I was like, hi,

1098
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 1: he goes one day, you're going to turn around and

1099
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 1: she's not going to be there, And it like totally

1100
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 1: changed my perspective.

1101
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 2: No, it did. Like I was like, you're right.

1102
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 1: Like I was just like looking for streets or looking

1103
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: for the wherever we were going. I wasn't paying attention

1104
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:56,440
Speaker 1: to my girlfriend. And I remember that to this day. Hey,

1105
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:57,840
Speaker 1: one day you're gonna look back there and she's not

1106
00:54:57,880 --> 00:54:59,799
Speaker 1: going to be there. And I was like, you know what,

1107
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:03,799
Speaker 1: So I took her hand and promptly broke up with her.

1108
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:08,400
Speaker 6: No, hey man, there's no need having that worry if

1109
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:09,240
