Speaker 1: A delightful not having to pay attention blur.

9
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 3: It's been wild and fun. I I went to Capri

10
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 3: Club the cocktail bar with our friend Emily my Mills

11
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 3: last night, and it felt like the crowd was similar

12
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 3: to Brooklyn in two thousand and six. It was really

13
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 3: very fun to see like twenty five year olds with

14
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 3: a lot of angst and a lot of just I'm

15
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 3: going to show you while also dressing like a buffoon

16
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 3: and drinking fourteen dollars sixteen dollar cocktails, and the unemployed

17
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 3: people drinking sixteen dollar cocktails the most la thing you

18
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 3: can do.

19
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 2: And then I have not seen it yet, but the

20
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 2: Tom Cruise thing of oh I saw you watched it

21
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: goes right from France, just such beauty, a class just Scott,

22
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: I don't know wo was He's skydiving and then he's

23
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 2: riding with it.

24
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: On a motorcycle through Los Angeles.

25
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 3: Oh man, hell from the top of the stadium. He

26
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 3: repelled down. He had this big bag of his rope

27
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 3: on his right leg, which I'm he and they invent

28
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 3: stuff for him for the Mission Impossible movies, and I mean,

29
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 3: I wonder if they invented this for him. And so

30
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 3: he repels down the whole time his right arm. He's

31
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 3: trying to be cool about it because he's Tom Cruise,

32
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 3: the action star, and he's like, but he's like releasing

33
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 3: more slack for his line. So it actually works. And

34
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 3: you see a couple of times where he wasn't going

35
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 3: as fast as he wanted. Then right when he gets

36
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 3: almost to the ground. He's not a tall man and

37
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 3: so he kind of like sticks his leg out to

38
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 3: reach the ground and it just is so wimpy looking

39
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 3: where you're like, I know, you thought this would be

40
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 3: like badass, yeah iron man, like landing with a fist

41
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,119
Speaker 3: on the ground, but instead he like twinkle toes down

42
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 3: to the ground and then he jogs. That was his

43
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 3: big mistake. Tom Cruise is known for sprinting like yeah,

44
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 3: the fact he did in Dead Ass run as hard

45
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 3: as he could to the mayor of Los Angeles, who

46
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: seems to me a great job. Yeah, and Simone Biles,

47
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 3: thank god, so there was at least an Olympic champion

48
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 3: there to make it. And then he takes the flag,

49
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 3: waves at some people and then motorcycles out of there.

50
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 3: But it is so American. We do we do like

51
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 3: four things well in America, and Hollywood does remain one

52
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 3: of them. Yep.

53
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess it had to be that, but

54
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 2: then it just made me be like, oh no, is

55
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: it gonna be all that? In twenty twenty eight, I

56
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 2: was just like, look at my tickets, now to get

57
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 2: the hell out of here.

58
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 3: I'm out of here. We are so out of here.

59
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 3: And my mom I was talking to her yesterday just

60
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 3: catching up, and like, you know, some people in my

61
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 3: family mentioned my cousin Maddie wants to come to the

62
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 3: Olympics out here and like stay at my place, and

63
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 3: my mom mentioned a couple other people that might want

64
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 3: to too, and she said, well, you know, the Hollywood

65
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 3: sign is like they've already chosen it as like one

66
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 3: of the main backdrops, the same way the Eiffel Tower

67
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 3: was the backdrop of so much of the NBC footage

68
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 3: to finish line, and so as somebody who lives pretty

69
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 3: close to the Hollywood Sign, I'm like, this is just

70
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 3: more reason for me to get out out of here.

71
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 2: No, you know what I'm saying. I'm leaving, but I'm

72
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: really looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to Carre

73
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 2: at top lighting the Olympic torch.

74
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: That'll be a beautiful moment for America. I think that's right.

75
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 3: The guy that created Dan Blazarian will drop kick the

76
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 3: torch into the cauldron. It's just just.

77
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 2: With a toilet set around his head. It'll be beautiful tsunami.

78
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 3: He'll just wipe it all out. Human sushi, just dancing

79
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 3: into green juice doing the be our guest dance from

80
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 3: Beauty and the Beast. I mean, I will say the

81
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 3: Sofi Stadium Crypto Arena is a great arena, but Sofi

82
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 3: Stadium where the Rams play is the greatest stadium I've

83
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 3: ever been to and will look oh for opening ceremony.

84
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 3: That three hundred and sixty degree double sided scre jumbo

85
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 3: screen they have it is going to look incredible in there.

86
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 3: And then the Clippers are other basketball team besides the Lakers.

87
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 3: They built a new high tech arena down by the

88
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 3: forum because their owner is Steve Balmer, the guy that

89
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 3: was the Microsoft exec. So that one's got crazy tech

90
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 3: and screen. So the opening ceremonies, if they do just

91
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 3: lean into cinema, it could be incredible.

92
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we'll see. I won't be here to see it.

93
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 3: But how dare the French not have Daft Punk? I

94
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 3: know they broke up, but be a part of the

95
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 3: opening or closing ceremony? That DJ duo could not be

96
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 3: more built for an opening ceremony. If if you had

97
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 3: AI run a thousand different a million, it's made for

98
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 3: opening ceremony.

99
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 2: That opening ceremony for the French, for a French Olympics

100
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:58,239
Speaker 2: had a metal robot horse on a submarine running down

101
00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: the Seine.

102
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: For like, if daft Punk was right in the back,

103
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: that would be like, yeah, of course, of course.

104
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 3: Get those robot helmets on and just get that whole

105
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 3: city going. But instead, you know, so we'll have who knows,

106
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 3: Taylor Swift, Casey Muskrat. I bet they lean into pop, country,

107
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 3: pop music. I hope the weekends running around in a

108
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 3: bush maze again, just confused where he's going, no clue.

109
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,520

Speaker 3: Like play the hits, tost.

00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: he comes up, but he just does a little bit.

00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:08,800

Speaker 1: I can't find a full clip of that. Ray Gun.

147
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: She's the greatest Olympics performance.

148
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 2: I do wonder if it's like if she was a

149
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: performance artist. Like just the clips that I saw, I

150
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 2: was just like, this is why this is amazing.

151
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 3: I saw her breakdancing. She can really break dance.

152
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 2: She can yeah, okay, so she just throws in these

153
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 2: other like like running on the fuloor like she's in

154
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 2: the in the Marx Brothers things.

155
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 3: I think she was just goofing off and having a

156
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 3: great time and probably thinks the Olympics are really stupid.

157
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 3: But they showed a clip of her yesterday on the

158
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,040

00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 3: maybe we just do also a drop off if you're

194
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 3: bringing a ton and you don't feel like caring until

195
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 3: the tampon Toss world record setting tampon toss will have

196
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,720

00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 3: Whatever you say, it's the same result.

203
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: Whatever you say, it's the same thing.

204
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 2: And so then yeah, so we're going to be donating

205
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 2: a ton and hopefully and we will definitely be breaking

206
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 2: a world record because we're also inventing the world record.

207
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 3: So yes and yes we are, but it might be

208
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 3: over one thousand tampons throw in the air and Kurti

209
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 3: B and I will m see that. We have PA

210
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,720

211
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 3: to hour and a half, things will be happening, and

212
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 3: we'll make it very clear. It's like two really long blocks.

213
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 3: You're all gonna be in the mix. And then in between,

214
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 3: there are restaurants, there's food, there's vendors. We have incredible

215
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 3: liquor sponsors. We have Topo Chico, we have Sunboy, we

216
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 3: have it basically in between things go chill out. We

217
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 3: have a sober quiet zone. If you just need to

218
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 3: recharge and you're having a little moment, We're gonna have

219
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 3: an area for you just to go sit in the shade,

220
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 3: not be surrounded by people drinking and yelling and getting

221
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 3: dunked in dunk tanks, and it's just going to be

222
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 3: a long, pleasant day outside.

223
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,120

227
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 2: in Denver, please let me know, because I might make

228

Speaker 3: make us a giant, like three to four foot banana

233
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,240

00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 3: told him to let us know when it has a

315
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 3: new face. So they're repainting it. They're going to paint

316
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 3: butt back on the heart tattoo on the butt cheeks

317
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 3: and they painted a fun tan so it's like, yeah,

318
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 3: I saw that, and so they're going to redo that.

319
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 3: So anyways, please ban animals that live in the Virginia area,

320
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 3: West Virginia, Virginia, the mid Atlantic. Even when this thing's ready,

321
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 3: go to ix Art Park. That's IX Art Park. And

322
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 3: the only reason I'm saying it like that is that's

323
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 3: what they said to me on the phone. I don't

324
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 3: know if it's i X, but they were saying.

325
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: They were saying, i X Art Park.

326
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 3: You or nine. I thought it was nine or nine.

327
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 3: So anyways, go say hey to Derek Weekly, who was

328
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 3: cool enough to call back and reassures that the butt

329
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 3: is getting a new face paint, and go support the

330
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 3: art park. Buy some beverages, have a great time, that's all.

331
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, And of course this is a bonusde So we

332
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 2: do we do advice?

333
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 3: We do?

334
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 1: Would you rather with advisor? Would you rather?

335
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 3: I have a lot of good ones? How about h Okay,

336
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 3: I have a confession that's so good. I think we

337
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 3: should start with it all right now. Normally confessions are

338
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 3: completely anonymous, so you can really need to get absolved

339
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 3: about any bad behavior. But I'm gonna say this banana's

340
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 3: name because this is it's so good. Okay, So this

341
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,959
Speaker 3: is from Jenna Vaness, a great bananimal, she said, confession.

342
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 3: Last week, I followed a lady home FROMSCO for a

343
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 3: long time in my tiny town because she had a

344
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 3: note on her back windshield, having had someone recently hit

345
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 3: my car. I was concerned that it might be important

346
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 3: information or name number from something similar happening to her,

347
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 3: So I followed her for a while well, waiting for

348
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 3: my moment to deliver the note to her. In a

349
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 3: moment where our cars were finally stopped at a light,

350
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 3: I put my car and park, jumped out, grabbed the

351
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 3: note and ran it to her window, startling her. She

352
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 3: rolls down her window and I quickly yell I saw

353
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 3: this a note on your back window, and I thought

354
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 3: it might be important. She says, Oh my god, thank

355
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 3: you so much. And as I'm handing her this note,

356
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 3: beaming with pride and elation all the karma points I

357
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 3: was about to win, I glanced down and read the note,

358
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 3: and as it's leaving my hands, it reads, nice parking job, asshole.

359
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 3: I had delivered someone else's hate mail. Did I gain

360
00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 3: or lose karma from this nice parking job? Asshole? It's

361
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 3: so funny.

362
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: Oh, that is, Jenna, funny.

363
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 3: You're as I did.

364
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 2: You're one hundred percent of zov. You were really trying

365
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 2: to do the right thing. Also, did you mention?

366
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 3: Oh?

367
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I didn't look at it before I

368
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: gave it to you. I'm so sorry.

369
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,479
Speaker 3: I know, because you have to wonder that. First of all,

370
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 3: you gotta laugh if somebody hands you that note. It's

371
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 3: a funny situation. But then what do you think, like

372
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 3: was that person the person calling me an asshole?

373
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: Hey, I just wanted to give this to you. I

374
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: think it might be important for you to know.

375
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 3: I really want you to see this. I was also

376
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 3: at Costco and I watched you drive away the Costco

377
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 3: parking lot, the one near us between you and me,

378
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 3: it's actually fine. The parking lot itself is chaos because

379
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 3: it's a Toys r us A Kids or us A

380
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 3: Best Buy, ninety of those strangest chain restaurants you can

381
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 3: put together in one strip.

382
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,719
Speaker 2: I've been going to Kebab Shop and I'm a loving

383
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 2: Kobob shop.

384
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 3: Oo is it good?

385
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 2: It's a San Diego franchise and it's like functional, it's

386
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 2: functionally good, and I.

387
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 3: Like, I mean it's hard to find a good kebob

388
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 3: unless you go to Glendale. You can find some good ones. Yeah,

389
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,959
Speaker 3: but it's like a Marie Calendar's, which I it's like

390
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 3: if your oldest living relative could design a restaurant and

391
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 3: sell pies. That's Marie Calendarsqudoba, which I've never seen another

392
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 3: location in Los Angeles. Soup plantation.

393
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 2: The name that you just plan is the sup plantation

394
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 2: is gone.

395
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 3: Oh good, Okay.

396
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 2: I COVID killed most of the soup plantations because no

397
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 2: one was willing to go in and ab communal.

398
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:41,719
Speaker 3: Soup at a slave holding. Yeah stew factory. Uh, it

399
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 3: is so funny there. But yeah, but that that costco man.

400
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 3: If you go at like I'm sure you know this.

401
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 3: If you go when your kids at school, you go

402
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 3: one pm on a Wednesday, you're having the time of

403
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 3: your life. You go anytime between Thursday four pm and

404
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 3: Sunday ten pm.

405
00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: It's insane.

406
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 3: At Los Angeles Costco, are you, it's crazy.

407
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: It's crazy.

408
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 2: I have to park at I just purpose I don't

409
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 2: even look for parking. I drive all the way to

410
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 2: the Furthest corner away, that's exactly, and i walk for

411
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 2: like one football field length and I'm just like getting

412
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 2: my steps, getting my steps. It's so it's just like

413
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 2: it's just purposeless. It's purposeless driving around. There's just it's insanity.

414
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 2: And it's just the I've noticed a lot. Mondays are

415
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 2: bad to go to. Mondays and Tuesdays are bad to

416
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 2: go to because I think people who run small businesses, Yes,

417
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 2: just stock up Monday and too.

418
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 3: They need their foil tins, they need all the bait,

419
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 3: the plates, they need the basics to run their taco stands. Yeah.

420
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm always just like there's no distribution like

421
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: Costco is their distribution system.

422
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 2: It's just like, oh, you're getting twenty five gallons of

423
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 2: canola oil.

424
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 3: I know that place if it is so addictive, like, man,

425
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 3: it is so fun. I actually every time I'm there,

426
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 3: I do the thing where I'm like, I don't need

427
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 3: any of this, like I overestimate, I just I don't

428
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 3: need any of it. And so the only thing I

429
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 3: really stock up on her like Lacroix and Seltzer's like

430
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 3: palettes of that stuff. Well, I'm like, I will go

431
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 3: and paper towels and toilet paper like yeah, everything else there.

432
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 3: I'm like, in what world would I ever need this many?

433
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 3: Cannopis like but it's also because it's lost. Just we

434
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 3: have an incredible Asian food section there, Like you every

435
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 3: once in a while you just walked down there and you're like, oh,

436
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 3: this is amazing, and we have great Hispanic Latino food everywhere,

437
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 3: and so it's like you can get that stuff hooked up.

438
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 3: But I don't need thirteen ribbis for two hundred dollars.

439
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: It is so many with you.

440
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 2: If you're like I just want a steak, it's just

441
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 2: like guess what you're having steak?

442
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 3: Free? Yes exactly, Uh yeah, hit me with one here.

443
00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: It is Hello banana, gentlemen. My name is Lacey and

Speaker 1: Caught up to late February.

448
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so you could say that I love it.

449
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 4: I guess you could call it the buff to my Orpington.

450
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 4: I'm so sorry an actual request, like and I I

451
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 4: don't know.

452
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 1: I'm just tired of working.

453
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 4: In this capitalist hellscape and I really want to either

454
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 4: start doing stand up or I want to write a

455
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 4: book or start streaming or a little bit of all

456
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 4: of those things. And I know that so much work

457
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 4: is going to go into that that I'm going to

458
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 4: have to do myself, and no one can really like.

459
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: Show me a path or anything.

460
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 3: So I'm not asking for that.

461
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 4: I just do you have any advice as to what

462
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 4: my first step should be toward initiating myself into the arts?

463
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 3: Great question?

464
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: Maybe just a silly or crazy way to.

465
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 4: The start of this new era of my life. And

466
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 4: of course I am accepting both serious and or Banana's advice, and.

467
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: I look forward and hearing from you guys.

Speaker 5: Thank you so much again, love the pod.

469
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 4: Love that I can tell that you genuinely love doing it.

470
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 3: We do, all right. Thanks lady, great message.

471
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: Great question, scotty thoughts off the top of your head.

472
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 3: Okay, I here's my advice. Don't do stand up because

473
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 3: one you would have already done it if you really

474
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 3: wanted to do it. All my friends, including Kurdie B

475
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 3: who are stand ups, like who do it regularly and

476
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 3: then make it a profession and then make a career,

477
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 3: they were like addicted to it like moth to flame.

478
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 3: It was like they couldn't miss an opportunity to do it.

479
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 3: If you want to, just do it to see how

480
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 3: it feels, absolutely go to an open mic. But stand

481
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 3: up is one of those things that you have to

482
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 3: have this magnet inside of you that is pulling you

483
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 3: in front of stages to bomb, to not bomb, to kill,

484
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 3: to crush. But I think from a writer's point of view,

485
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 3: writing is something you can do your whole life. You

486
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 3: can get better literally until you can't move your hand

487
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 3: or your two fingers or a finger. You can write

488
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 3: until your last breath. So I'd say lean into the writing.

489
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 3: I would say write the Banana Boys, a poem, a

490
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 3: short one doesn't have to rhyme, can be a high

491
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,719
Speaker 3: coup whatever you want, maul it to us and I'm

492
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 3: going to keep it. I'm never going to read it

493
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 3: on the air, but start by actually sending us something

494
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 3: to prove it you can do it. I'm not gonna

495
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 3: judge you. I'm gonna be proud of you. So that's

496
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,959
Speaker 3: my first thing is send the Banana Boys a poem

497
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 3: to po Box three nine three four eight, Los Angeles, California,

498
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 3: nine zero zero three nine.

499
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 2: That is an absolutely a great piece of advice, Scottie.

500
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 2: And I would also say, like just a dead pick

501
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 2: a deadline like pic a date and for whatever it

502
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 2: is you want to do. So say it's I wanted

503
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 2: to do five minutes of at an open mic to

504
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 2: try standing oh, so find one pick it just be like,

505
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 2: all right, in one month, on this day, I'm going

506
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 2: to go, so I need to have five minutes of materials.

507
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 2: So I'm going to just start writing every day a

508
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 2: little bit. And that's what I would mainly do, is

509
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 2: that you just have to write every single day and

510
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 2: so it doesn't have to be more than ten to

511
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 2: twenty minutes. So just also pick a time during the

512
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 2: day you'll have a deadline of thing that you want

513
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 2: to do, whether it be stand up or you want

514
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 2: to have a short story done by or something like that.

515
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 2: Pick a deadline, and then every day at this time,

516
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 2: for ten to twenty minutes, do a free writing session

517
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 2: or and if it's not free, you know free writing

518
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 2: for those it's just whatever comes into your head. And

519
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 2: it feels stupid at first, and I swear to God,

520
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 2: within five minutes of writing the stupid thoughts that your

521
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 2: brain is noticing itself thinking. You find one thing that

522
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 2: you're interested in talking about, and then you talk about.

523
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: It for a little bit.

524
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 2: That's true, and then you look and then you go back,

525
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 2: after two weeks of free writing ten to twenty minutes

526
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 2: a day, go back and look, is there anything there that.

527
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: Actually is good that you like?

528
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there might it'll be I always find it

529
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 2: slim pickens. But then you'll get like one thing and

530
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 2: two things are four things. And then those are the

531
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 2: things that you take out and say, Okay, I'm going

532
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 2: to write about this, this and this.

533
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 3: That's great. That's so sweet. That's like practical too. People

534
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 3: always when they picture a novel or they picture a screenplayer,

535
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 3: they picture a large or an album writing songs, they

536
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 3: just think of the whole thing. They don't think of that.

537
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 3: It has to start in one place with one simple sentence,

538
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 3: like I woke up in a cabin in the woods,

539
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 3: and you're like, great, yeah, we just it's a person

540
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 3: who's alive. They're in the woods and for some reason

541
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 3: in their cabin. You're on your way. It's there you go,

542
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 3: and then for a fun, dumb one, go buy go

543
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 3: to your local pharmacy, Go buy some index cards from

544
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 3: your local staples, and go to a bookstore, your favorite

545
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 3: bookstore if there's hopefully it sounds like you hate capitalism,

546
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 3: so yeah, stay away from the big boys. Go to

547
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 3: the local one and write little reviews for books that

548
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 3: you've read and seek secretly put them in the books

549
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 3: you've read and leave them for the next person to find.

550
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 3: Just give yourself a little reverse scavenger hunt where you're

551
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 3: giving other people a little insight to your personality without

552
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 3: identifying yourself exactly.

553
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: Do one one do it for the love of doing it.

554
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 1: A time out.

555
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 2: I'm about to die. I'm about to die the battery,

556
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 2: so let me just run and get a plug for

557
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 2: two seconds.

558
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 3: Sure, while Curty B's away Banannimals, He's just going to

559
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 3: get a power plug. These things happen because we're live

560
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 3: to tape a little bit more about Bananas Fest. A

561
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 3: lot of people are getting there the day before. We

562
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 3: don't have a hotel or anything. That's like, all the

563
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 3: bananimals are staying there. Just stay wherever you want, where

564
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 3: you like hotels or airbnbs, are staying with friends or whatever.

565
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 3: All we ask is that come with the spirit of bananas,

566
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 3: say yes to silly things, introduce yourselves, meet each other.

567
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 3: We're gonna have lots of international bananimals, so let's make

568
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 3: them feel as welcome as possible. If you see somebody

569
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 3: hanging out, I don't know if it's gonna be a

570
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 3: buddy bench, I don't know if it's gonna be a

571
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 3: friendship circle. But if you see somebody standing in there

572
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 3: and you go, well, I feel a little shy wanting

573
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 3: to walk up to them and introduce myself. If you

574
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 3: find Kurtibe and I and we're not hosting something, feel

575
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 3: free to introduce yourself and say, hey, will you come

576
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 3: over here, and I'll do the introduction for you. I'll

577
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,719
Speaker 3: do friendship wingman for you. It's just that easy. The

578
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,959
Speaker 3: main thing is come have fun, you know, wash your

579
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 3: hands a few times throughout the day, drink plenty of water,

580
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 3: and then we're just gonna build from Splitty in the

581
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 3: City to the two Bananas Live shows, which I think

582
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 3: are completely sold out at this point, and just try

583
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 3: to give it as much positivity and fun as we

584
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 3: possibly can. I got a great one for you, Kurtie B.

585
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 3: This is so up your alley, all right. Alex Daccato

586
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 3: sent this in on the Bananas Podcast. Well podcasts, he

587
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 3: sent it to the Bananas Podcast. I found it through them. Hey,

588
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 3: Kurt and Scottie. I got a job working as a

589
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 3: subway car operator in a major metro area on the

590
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 3: East Coast. The system isn't known for being reliable, modern,

591
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 3: or well planned, and it's pretty much hated by everybody

592
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 3: in the city. That being said, I was looking for

593
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 3: some advice on what I can say over the intercom

594
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 3: that's appropriate to help brighten people's commute and start their

595
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 3: day with a laugh. Love the pot, Alex Daccato, congratulations, Alex, Yes,

596
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 3: and good for you for having the kindness in your

597
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 3: heart to want to make other people's days better.

598
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: Oh I love that too.

599
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 2: Also, like that is when it has been so rare

600
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 2: that you hear a sense of humor from a subway

601
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:00,719
Speaker 2: train operator.

602
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: And when you do it is.

603
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 2: Like the whole car lights up. Everyone's just because it's

604
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 2: the most unexpected. To find absurdity in unexpected places is

605
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 2: truly what life is all about.

606
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 3: So it's got to be a quick hit, right we're thinking,

607
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 3: I mean that door opens and you probably get one

608
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 3: good sentence, maybe two good sentences.

609
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's almost got to be like specific

610
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 2: to the I would say, specific to the stop.

611
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: I would write little jokes for each stop, like the.

612
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 3: Name it stops.

613
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, oh man, that's right.

614
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 3: If it's Neptune Beach, you go grab your trident. Ladies

615
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 3: and gentlemen, you've arrived at Neptune Beach.

616
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. It's not zero, it's not two. It's first

617
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 2: have folks, it's first have.

618
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 3: H that's cute. What about like, what about doing a

619
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 3: big universal thing. Imagine you're a sad person. You're having

620
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 3: a bad day, bad day, You're you're sick, you're you're

621
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 3: just you have a migraine. You woke up with a migraine.

622
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 3: You get laid off. Your partner tells you they need

623
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 3: to talk after work. You're having a bad day. You

624
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:26,000

Speaker 1: You don't have to have a good day. But but I.

632
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 2: Hope I made it a little bit better. You know something,

633
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 2: I want a version of you don't have to go home,

634
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 2: but you can't stay here but for the train that's okay.

635
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

636
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 2: At the end of the line, that's good. You don't

637
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:07,959
Speaker 2: have to go home, but you can't stay here. End

638
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 2: of the line.

639
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 3: That's a nice little sound off. What about something along

640
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 3: the line like this one's tough.

641
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: Has to be clean, has to be short.

642
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:20,959
Speaker 3: It has to be clean and short, right, it has

643
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 3: to be positive and everybody is doesn't. I mean, I

644
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 3: don't think this is New York, even though New York subways,

645
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 3: because we all use them so much that you have

646
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 3: a love hate relationship with them, is what I'm trying

647
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 3: to say. Uh, And so it feels like it's another

648
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 3: city that really hates it, Like is it DC? I

649
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 3: mean Baltimore's doesn't go anywhere Boston Metro I've never ridden, no, no,

650
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 3: I have written it. It closes, it shuts down at

651
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 3: like midnight, which is always a nightmare when you're running

652
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 3: from a bar full speed.

653
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: What I'm trying to think? What?

654
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 2: What what public like that has a subway? That has

655
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 2: a subway, right, there's not that. There's not a ton

656
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 2: of cities with subways. It's like DC, San Francisco, Boston,

657
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 2: New York, Chicago, but like universally hated.

658
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: I almost think it has to be in New York.

659
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: What if we go rap because it's gotten worse.

660
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 3: What if we go what if every stop you give

661
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 3: them a real fact about rats. That's actually kind of cool.

662
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 3: So if you go rat fact of the day and

663
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 3: you just tell them something about rats, that the give

664
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 3: them a rat fact. They probably saw them in the

665
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 3: two beforehand. Yeah, they probably have a fear of them.

666
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 3: I'm thinking you pull in, you hit them with a

667
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 3: rat fact and then because you could say rap fact

668
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 3: really fast, you know what I mean?

669
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, it could also be something as simple and as

670
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 2: easy as here's here's here's this stop and just remember

671
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 2: you're okay, I.

672
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 3: Mean, that's what it should be, because if somebody said that,

673
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 3: I would laugh so hard. Sometimes you just need people

674
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 3: to say, uh, you're.

675
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: Okay, yep, people to have the best day ever.

676
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 3: There are more than sixty species of rats in the world.

677
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 3: Rat fact, Have a great day, everybody. Rat fact rats

678
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 3: are colorblind and have poor eyesight. Have a great day, everybody. Yeah,

679
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 3: I'll go in rat facts. Here we go. You got

680
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 3: another one? You want me to go?

681
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 1: I got lots, I got one.

682
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 3: Here we go.

683
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 1: Allre you ready?

684
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,280
Speaker 3: Boy, I'm so ready. I love having fun.

685
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:44,280
Speaker 6: I'm anna boys, Hi, Miss Lynn, I use the advice.

686
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 5: I live in Brooklyn right now. I've lived here for

687
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 5: almost seven years, and I am tired and I'm about

688
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 5: to leave. I'm moving out of the city in September,

689
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 5: and I have some really exciting things planned for what's

690
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,760
Speaker 5: next cool, but I'm having a hard time getting excited

691
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 5: about them because I'm really grieving leaving New York and

692
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 5: it's especially hard when everyone around me is in sort

693
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,240
Speaker 5: of the New York City gravitational pool, and it doesn't

694
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:14,959
Speaker 5: quite believe that anywhere.

695
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 3: Else in the world even makes since.

696
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 6: So I'm hoping you could give me some advice on

697
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 6: what I should do in my last two months to

698
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 6: say goodbye to the city and how to get excited

699
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 6: about living somewhere else.

700
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 2: Thanks, This is a great question. I recently had a

701
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 2: friend of mine, Steve Stone, sculptor. He's been living in

702
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 2: the city for I don't know, close to twenty twenty

703
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 2: two years or something like that, and he had an

704
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 2: opportunity to go up and stay in the woods in

705
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 2: Connecticut and there's a place where he can do his

706
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 2: art and stuff like that, and I was just like,

707
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 2: you're gonna it's gonna you're gonna love it so much.

708
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 2: And it took him so long to actually pull the

709
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 2: trigger because of this thing that New York City has

710
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 2: where it's just like, if you're not in New York City,

711
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 2: there's nothing out there.

712
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 3: You don't get it.

713
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: It is.

714
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 2: It's so weird, like and as soon as you're out

715
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 2: of its pull, as soon as you're out of the

716
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 2: gravitational pull of New York, you're just like, Oh, there's

717
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 2: so much else to this world and it's awesome and

718
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 2: it's wonderful. Yes, So I'm happy that you're going. I

719
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 2: encourage you. New York can often make itself seem far

720
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 2: more important than it actually is New York.

721
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: And guess what's great about New York. You can always

722
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: go back and visit. That's the first thing I wrote.

723
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 3: It's destination.

724
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: If you don't have to do laundry in New York,

725
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 1: like if you don't have to do grocery shopping in

726
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 1: New York City, New York is a delight. That's that's

727
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: what I would recommend that you do. I would recommend

728
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 1: that you that you just constantly.

729
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,760
Speaker 2: Girls resource shop and do your laundry for the last

730
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 2: two months before you leave. But no, my actual recommendation

731
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 2: to say goodbye properly to New York would be see

732
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 2: how many subway lines you can ride from end to end,

733
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 2: and that to just give you a sense of like

734
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 2: the breadth and depth of what New York actually is.

735
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 2: Because in your mind you have defined New York as

736
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 2: the place that you go and see very often, whether

737
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 2: it be that small part of.

738
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: Brooklyn in Manhattan.

739
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 2: But then you all of a sudden go and you

740
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 2: take you go out to like Forest Hills, Queens, and

741
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 2: you find this park that's like the most gorgeous park

742
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 2: you've ever been to, and you've never even seen it before,

743
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 2: and that's that's someone else's New York City. So ride

744
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 2: the subway from top to bottom, get out randomly, and

745
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 2: just see what's there. See a part of New York

746
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,879
Speaker 2: City you've never seen before because it's so big. There's

747
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 2: so many parts you have not explored. Go to City Island.

748
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 2: Make sure you go to rock Away, like there's just

749
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 2: so go that little part above Inwood that's just like

750
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 2: it's like like where all the where the two rivers meet,

751
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 2: tip of the.

752
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 3: Men heared up there?

753
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so weird. Yeah, it's really strange.

754
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 3: Well, isn't there something else is up there? What is

755
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 3: that fucking thing called? Oh? I'll think of it as

756
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:25,760
Speaker 3: we're talking, But I so Bananimal and a newer friend

757
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 3: in life, Julie Steelman. She moved the Carolina. She moved

758
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 3: to North Carolina from New York after being there all

759
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 3: of her twenties, kind of like Kerr and I were,

760
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 3: And she was really feeling bad about this too, and

761
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 3: she's like, what do I need to do? And I

762
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 3: gave her this advice sort of knee jerk, but then

763
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 3: I think it really worked. When you leave New York,

764
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 3: you're not gonna miss those big things. What I would

765
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 3: do is I would make two lists. I'd make a

766
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 3: list of ten places or experiences that you love. Your

767
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 3: favorite coffee shop, check it off. Make sure you go

768
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 3: the place that you had that lunch that you haven't been,

769
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 3: your favorite tea shop, your favorite time restaurant, your favorite

770
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 3: sushi spy, your favorite ROMs wherever, sitting on the park

771
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 3: looking at the in battery Park, whatever it is. Make

772
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 3: a list of the ten things that you actually legitimately

773
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 3: love to do and make sure you do them at

774
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 3: least one more time before you leave. Check them off.

775
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 3: Then make a list of the five things that you

776
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 3: intended to do while you lived in New York and

777

Speaker 2: New York City.

793
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 3: No, God, When I drove I drove a friend. I

794
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 3: drove two friends from New York. One was Chelsea Pretti,

795
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 3: the comedian. When she was leaving New York for Los Angeles.

796
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 3: I drove her out and like helped her move out

797
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 3: of her last apartment over to the airport. And she

798
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 3: had this giant Duffel bag, humongous, the biggest one you

799
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 3: can buy at an Army Navy surplus. And she was

800
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,320
Speaker 3: just giving me like shit that she didn't want anymore.

801
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 3: I had a car at the time. I had I

802
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 3: had a little Yeah, I had a little black Corolla,

803
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 3: little stick shift Corolla. And so I took her run.

804
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 2: So you drove Chelsea Paretti out of And when's the

805
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 2: last time you heard from Chelsea?

806
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 3: Probably one week after that, No, I mean probably five

807
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 3: years later. I ran into her a couple of times,

808
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 3: but it's true. I drove her there, and the whole

809
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 3: time she's like, get me the fuck out of here.

810
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 3: Because we hit traffic on the Biqui. We left. We

811
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 3: left two and a half hours before her flight, and

812
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 3: she missed her flight. She missed her flight leaving New York,

813
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 3: so she was like, fuck this town. Then I drove

814
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 3: another friend when she was leaving for to work on

815
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:12,760
Speaker 3: Tosh point zero season one, and she had to drop

816
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 3: something off at ups store or whatever. She had ship some

817
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 3: of her stuff and the guy's like, hey, you're you're

00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 3: you better eat a slice of pizza before you go,

820
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 3: and she goes, I fucking hate pizza, And then got

821
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 3: in the car and she's like, I hate this city

822
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 3: so much the fact that that guy told me to

823
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 3: get a slice of pizza, Like, I can't get pizza

824
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 3: anywhere in the world. So then we're driving the Bqui.

825
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 3: I'm driving her out there, and a flock of Canadian

826
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 3: snow geese during the day was crashing into traffic and

827
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,879
Speaker 3: cars were swerving off the road and hitting geese, and

828
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 3: I was swerving over hit geese, not hit geese. It

829
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 3: was a bloodbath and that was her last her That

860
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 3: for some bananas advice. My dad died on my birthday

861
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 3: four years ago. People ask me what I'm going to

862
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 3: do for I know it's brutal. People ask me what

863
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:44,839
Speaker 3: I'm going to do for my birthday, and I really

864
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 3: don't celebrate or anything. I never know what to say

865
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 3: to people, but I have a pretty good relationship with

866
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 3: death now, so I always have to resist her the

867
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,800
Speaker 3: urge to make jokes, which is polite but also natural

868
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 3: and good. Make jokes. Make jokes. Also, if I pick

869
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 3: a new birthday, what day should it be not March tenth,

870
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 3: July thirty, FoST July thirty first, or August eighth. Sorry

871
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:07,720
Speaker 3: to be picky.

872
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:09,799
Speaker 1: I would is that the end?

873
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 3: That is the end? So yeah, gee might I think

874
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 3: Katie is going to pick a new birthday And I

875
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 3: love that idea.

876
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 2: I love picking a new birthday. I have two thoughts.

877
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 2: First off, I want to I'm gonna pitch my birthday

878
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 2: because come on, that's the only one I can speak

879
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:29,839
Speaker 2: with authority on having. Yeah, February twenty second is a

880
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 2: great time to have a birthday because it's it's in

881
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 2: the middle of the coldest part of the winter, but

882
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 2: it's gone long enough so that the day I find

883
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:45,240
Speaker 2: February twenty second, the day is feels a little bit longer.

884
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 1: It's kind of the first time it starts to feel

885
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:48,240
Speaker 1: a little bit longer.

886
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:48,879
Speaker 3: That's nice.

887
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 2: And I've found statistically February twenty second is often sunny.

888
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: Wherever I am.

889
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 3: Well, I love to hear that.

890
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,359
Speaker 2: And so I'm going to pitch that because it's something

891
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 2: to look forward too. It's long enough after New Year's

892
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 2: it's before it's just in the middle of like you know,

893
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 2: your your shitty kind of winter time. And also I

894
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 2: would also pitch keeping your birthday. And because what I

895
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 2: do always on the I try and make the death

896
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 2: day of my mom a like a justice a day

897
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 2: to take you know, that's nice, And so the death

898
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 2: day and especially on her birthday, to like take that

899
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 2: day and do something nice to kind of just keep

900
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 2: that memory alive and meaning like don't work, go do

901
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 2: something that you actually.

902
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 1: Enjoy and so, but you can still do that on

903
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: the death day.

904
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd like that. I think that's cool. I'll recommend.

905
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:52,239
Speaker 3: I took astronomy in public high school. They introduced it

906
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 3: to Franklin High School when I was a junior, and

907
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 3: they it was an elective and I took it because

908
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 3: I thought we were going to learn about space. And the

909
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 3: teacher was the best, and he would just play videos

910
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 3: movies about space, like fifth Element.

911
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 1: No, no, no, the Navigator.

912
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 2: No you did not, No, you did not watch the

913
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 2: Fifth Element in astronomy class.

914
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 3: Probably three or four times he would.

915
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,720
Speaker 1: He just didn't know. He's like, I just got hired

916
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 1: to do this. I don't understand.

917
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 3: Well, he loved science and he was a great guy.

918
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:30,840
Speaker 3: And then every year he would plan a trip and

919
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 3: then he looped it into the new astronomy curriculum in

920
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:37,280
Speaker 3: Baltimore County to go to the to go to Hawaii

921
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 3: and you would go to the Astronomic Observatory on my

922
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 3: Lower Monaco one of them. Yeah, and then you would

923
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 3: go the atmosphere Observatory, and then every other thing was

924
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,880
Speaker 3: just truly a vacation for teachers and students. And I

925
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 3: went the first year. That's the reason I took the

926
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 3: astronomy class. I had the inside intel that that was

927
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 3: going to be an option. And I was one of

928
00:47:57,719 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 3: like the ten kids from my high school that went

929
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,359
Speaker 3: to when I was seventeen. Oh my god, and it

930
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:07,319
Speaker 3: was lawless. I mean they there were more kids. There

931
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 3: were like five chaperones. Two were young, cool teachers, like

932
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 3: twenty five to twenty six year olds that were like,

933
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 3: I just wanted to come to Hawaii. And then mister Gallandeck,

934
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 3: this professor, excuse me, this teacher, he would sell naval

935
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 3: oranges by the box to fund most of this trip.

936
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 3: So while I had astronomy, he was busy setting up

937
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 3: the logistics of getting boxes of naval Florida naval oranges

938
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:34,399
Speaker 3: to anybody to wanted to buy them as a fundraiser.

939
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 3: You know, who doesn't need forty oranges delivered to their house?

940
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,839
Speaker 3: Oranges delivered to their house? So what he told me

941
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 3: in this class, stuck with me my whole life. So

942
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:48,760
Speaker 3: he said, mister landis, if you want to get married,

943
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 3: you get married on the winter solstice because it's the

944
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 3: longest night of the year. If you want to if

945
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:55,840
Speaker 3: you want to have a birthday, you want it on

946
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 3: the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere because it's the

947
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 3: longest day of the year. So I believe it's June

948
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:04,720
Speaker 3: twenty first, my vote would be if you want to chill,

949
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 3: do the winter solstice. Or what he was implying was

950
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 3: people still waited to have sex getting married, so you'd

951
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 3: have the longest night on your wedding night, which is

952
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 3: you just have to have so funny.

953
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 1: Sixteen hours of fucking.

954
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just just welcome to the club where it's

955
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 3: not gonna ever.

956
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 1: Had sex before.

957
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 6: Ed.

958
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:26,760
Speaker 1: We're definitely gonna last for sixteen hours.

959
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:30,240
Speaker 3: Yep. So we're gonna have sex seventeen times for combined

960
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 3: total fourteen minutes. So in honor of my beloved, I'm

961
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 3: not sure if he's still alive, but he was a

962
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 3: great guy and he took me to why when I

963
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 3: was seventeen. He was incredible. Bob Gallon Deck, I would

964
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 3: say switch your birthday to the summer solstice, which usually

965
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,319
Speaker 3: I believe is June twenty first, so that you can

966
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 3: have the longest sunshine of the year get the most

967
