Speaker 2: Hey, Curtie B.

6
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 4: Thanks everybody who's been listening and sending their support and

7
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 4: love because they were concerned about Curtie B and our

8
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 4: families and friends and loved ones and animals during this

9
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 4: very strange time where wildfires ripped across Los Angeles. We're

10
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 4: doing fine. We're feeling very lucky and grateful, and we're

11
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 4: looking for ways to help and you should too.

12
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 3: You know what I didn't expect to be doing in

13
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, Scottie Is tell me that wiping my

14
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 3: dog's paws off with from toxic materis that she's bringing

15
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 3: into the house because we stepped through ash. That is

16
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 3: not something I expected.

17
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 4: Nope, I can understand why you did not. Yeah, strange times,

18
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 4: very exhilarating, very strange. When I was evacuating, I could

19
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 4: see the flames from the run in Canyon fire, and

20
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 4: now you know that fight or flight, The flight kicks

21
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 4: in and you go, go, baby go, Like it was.

22
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 4: I was honking the horn all the way down and

23
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 4: just making sure all the oldies in the neighborhood were

24
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 4: aware that something might be happening, and turns out our

25
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 4: neighborhood was spared. But just you know, big shout out,

26
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 4: big thumbs up to all the EMT's first responders, firefighters everywhere.

27
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 4: You guys did an incredible job with i mean facing

28
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 4: literally impossible ods.

29
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 3: I mean so impossible. Those winds were absolutely the craziest

30
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 3: thing I've ever seen in Los Angeles. And just to

31
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 3: give it, I mean, I'm sure maybe it's completely obvious

32
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 3: at this point, but just to give an idea of

33
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 3: the amount of area that was burned, Yeah, it's larger

34
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 3: than the entire city of San Francisco. So like the

35
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 3: nineteen oh six fire of San Francisco was something like

36
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 3: I don't know, forty acres or something like that, or

37
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 3: four I'm sorry, four square miles. This is fifty five

38
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 3: square miles that has been burned in the city. So

39
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 3: an entire other city inside our city does just simply

40
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 3: doesn't exist anymore. So please any support you can give. Obviously,

41
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 3: I think we're overstating this, but we appreciate all of it.

42
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think we are. It was such a

43
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 2: crazy thing.

44
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 4: And also like with the hurricane, the floods in Ashville,

45
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 4: the hurricanes that hit Florida all the time, you just

46
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 4: start to go Okay, So we live on a planet

47
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 4: and this is how it's going to go. And we

48
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 4: can either live as in fear and terror all the time,

49
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 4: or we can just do the best we can when

50
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 4: bad things happen. And that's what we are going to do.

51
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 4: I found out, Yes, so I got into the Garibaldina Society.

52
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 3: Kurt I saw this and I was very interested about.

53
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 4: So I got it. Here's my badge. I'm officially a member.

54
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 4: So the Garibaldina Society, I believe, is the longest continual

55
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 4: society of Italian culture and heritage in America. It was

56
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 4: founded in eighteen seventy seven and time ago.

57
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 3: It didn't even know La was around in eighteen seventy exactly.

58
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 4: And then there was a secondary Italian society, the Benevolent Society,

59
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 4: to make things better for immigrants. A big part of

60
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 4: was teaching English to Italian immigrants and helping them set

61
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 4: up jobs and just building community in a different country

62
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 4: is the idea.

63
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 3: And then it evolved over time trying to just get

64
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 3: slightly better jobs than Irish people. That was a big competition. Yeah,

65
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 3: for Italians in the eighty nineties.

66
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 4: They're over twenty million Italian in Americans and they are

67
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 4: the fifth largest ethnic group in America. Look, I'm learning

68
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 4: all these things because I've joined the society.

69
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: Now you might be.

70
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 4: Saying, Scotti, old boy, Hell Italian are you? And the

71
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 4: answer is zero percent? Zero percent. I do not have

72
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 4: even one percent. I have one percent. I'm Jewish, one

73
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 4: percent Jewish. I found that out, and so I guess

74
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 4: I'm going to start my career telling Jewish jokes. Now

75
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 4: that would be so insane of one percent. Suddenly they're like,

76
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 4: he makes a lot of Jewish jokes.

77
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 3: All those I can? I can. I'm actually one percent.

78
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: I'm one percent.

79
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 4: But it comes and goes depending on ancestries updates. So anyway,

80
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 4: So I got sworn in, And what is this?

81
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 3: What is involved? What does it give you access to?

82
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: What is it?

83
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 3: Tell me all about it?

84
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 4: So it is a It has its own location where

85
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 4: they can host up to three hundred and fifty people

86
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 4: for dinners, for dancing, for charity events, for weddings, and

87
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 4: it's basically a community members only club. You can bring

88
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 4: guests and they do a they do one big pasta

89
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 4: dinner every month, and then they do dinner and dancing

90
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 4: and there's an amazing They.

91
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 3: Have a bar.

92
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 4: Oh, the bar is The bar is incredible. It's like

93
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 4: a wood paneled bar. And then everyone's all.

94
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 3: Very much from like the sixties maybe seventies. It's very

95
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 3: well appointed. They've restored everything to what it used to

96
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 3: be in the sixties and seems that's right.

97
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 4: And then they do these fundraising nights at the bar

98
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 4: where they bring in local chefs, some that are members,

99
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 4: some that aren't, and they cook small plates and stuff,

100
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 4: and then they have eight dollar martinis and they the

101
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 4: line is down the block and around the door, but

102
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 4: now a member and so it's all run by volunteers.

103
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 4: They were electing the new president of the Baldina Society.

104
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 4: Then they had to swear in. They keep minutes, all

105
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 4: the old ladies keep an eye on the budget. We

106
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 4: went through budget. So it was my first swearing in,

107
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 4: which is there were about fifteen of us that all

108
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 4: became members. Because it's starting in twenty seventeen, they decided

109
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 4: to expand and allow non Italians in just to build

110
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 4: better culture within the society. So luckily, my friend Mike

111
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 4: Levanos and his wife Katie and their friends Mike and

112
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 4: Amanda all remember.

113
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 2: So I went to Apasta.

114
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 4: Dinner and got invited back and then we danced. It

115
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 4: was me danced with a bunch of old Italian ladies.

116
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 4: You know what, you dress up in a suit. It's great.

117
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 4: It's like a small event space that every small town

118
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 4: everywhere in America has sort of their Elks Club or

119
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 4: their Nights of Columbus whatever on the outskirts of town.

120
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 4: It's that, but it's right in Los Angeles and it's incredible.

121
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 2: So I got in.

122
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 4: It took about, I guess about ten months, and I

123
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 4: had to do an interview. They and like, how can

124
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 4: I help. I'm like, I can park cars, I can bartend,

125
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 4: I a waiter. I'll just stack chairs if you want

126
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 4: me to. And then I got in. So they swore

127
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 4: me in. There's a photo of me, like I got

128
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 4: my badge. They all everybody there had to vote. We

129
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 4: were all unanimously voted in and you have to raise

130
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 4: your right hand and then you this gentleman, Dylan, this

131
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 4: nice guy basically you spent his life as a part

132
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 4: of the society. We repeat after him and we swear

133
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 4: to add to the community and to help people out.

134
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 4: And so it's great. And then afterwards there was a

135
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 4: you guessed it baked ZD dinner, So we're eating Italian

136

Speaker 4: food and then this guy that I don't know his name.

137
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 4: I'm meeting everybody at my table.

142

146
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 4: new as you can be to the society. And Mike's

147
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 4: like hanging with me. He was nice enough to come

148
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 4: and watch me get sworn in and even though it's

149
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 4: fairly boring. And then it was like, guys, there's a

150
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,679
Speaker 4: big fire now in the Hollywood Hills. And then Mike,

151
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 4: who lives in the Mount Washington area. Then this guy goes, guys,

152
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 4: power fire. The electric lines are down, and he's like

153
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 4: i'p gotta go, and you could hear the wind whipping,

154
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 4: And so it went from being sworn in and I

155
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 4: thought this was gonna be a really fun social evening,

156
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 4: meeting one hundred and fifty nice Italian people, most Italian

157
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 4: women over seven years old. Yeah, you know, that's still

158
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 4: right on the program and pencils all the notes in

159
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 4: the It's adorable. And instead everybody got their Italian food

160
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 4: to go and ran out the door and then sped

161
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 4: back and by the time I got back, it was

162
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 4: packed the bags. I was like strawberry, put it in

163
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 4: the car and we just took off. It was great,

164
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 4: It was wild. It was It went from me thinking

165
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 4: I was gonna have a casual night of shaking hands

166
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 4: and glad handing to speeding down the mountain and getting

167
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 4: out of Dodge as fast as possible.

168
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's crazy.

169
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 2: But I'm a bit I was prepared.

170
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 4: I have emergency Pelican cases for earthquakes and stuff.

171
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 2: Those things. I could live.

172
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 4: I had go bags ready, I had everything charged. I'm

173
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 4: not a prepper, but I was ready to leave.

174
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 3: To have used to have like one hundred cans of water.

175
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 3: Still do cans of water? You still do still do

176
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 3: cans see cans baby, Instead of plastic, I had plastic

177
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 3: and I had to get rid of it because after

178
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 3: a while, the plastic leeches into the water after like

179
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 3: five years and can't use it anymore.

180
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 2: I was so dumb, This is so dumb.

181
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 4: I am kurt because I was thinking, you know, they're

182
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 4: gonna have to rebuild all these houses, and they need

183
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 4: to start learning how to build fireproof houses. Like that's

184
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 4: just a reality, right, They're just going to have to

185
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 4: build materials that don't.

186
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 3: Three D printed houses are fireproof exactly. Yeah.

187
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 4: So I'm like, and then we have drones, right, I'm like,

188
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 4: can't we get I don't know, fifteen thousand drones to

189
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 4: pick up one cup of water each and go one

190
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 4: hundred miles an hour from the ocean to a fire

191
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 4: in the woods, And if we can make them look

192
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 4: like dragons flying through the air, can't we just get

193
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 4: drones to drop water on things like like bees, like

194
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 4: bees attacking a fire.

195
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 3: Now here's where my brain goes. Yeah, okay, you know

196
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 3: how when.

197
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 4: They show grease fires in your kitchen and you know

198
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 4: you're not supposed to spray them with water, it makes

199
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 4: it worse. So they always advertise those like blankets, fire

200
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 4: blankets to smother the fire.

201
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 3: I mean when you say always, I have never seen

202
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 3: that advertised.

203
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 4: Advertised Nope, fire blanket. Yeah, it just smothers it takes

204
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 4: all the air outs. Fireproof blankets sounds good.

205
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 3: So here's blanket.

206
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's could just be a wet wayed blanket. When

207
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 4: I'm thinking, every house needs a giant box that has

208
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 4: a giant tarp the side has a gyant fire blanket

209
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 4: kind of like when they do termite fumigating.

210
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 3: Hmm.

211
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 2: And when there's a fire, you pull a lever when

212
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 2: you leave the house.

213
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 3: Just inflates over your house.

214
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 4: It just drapes a fire blanket over your entire house.

215
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 4: And then you just have a simpler sprinkler on the top,

216
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 4: just wetting that blanket for you. That's where my genius

217
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 4: brain goes.

218
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 3: The Yeah, what would the fire blanket be made of?

219
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 3: Just metal or something? I don't even know. It's just

220
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 3: like some weird fire cloth.

221
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 2: That doesn't burn. Yeah, yeah, I'm I'm going in. I'm

222
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 2: going on.

223
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 3: I have a feeling a certempture things just to night

224
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 3: underneath the fire blanket. But you know what, I like it.

225
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 3: I like the fire blanket.

226
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 4: I'm going on shark sharks, I need two million dollars

227
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 4: for three percent equity. Uh and all it is is giant,

228
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 4: ugly blankets on the top of our houses that may

229
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 4: or may not fully roll down like curtains when a

230
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 4: wildfire and everly happens.

231
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 3: Well, did you read that article about the guy and

232
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 3: the Palisades who because there had been a fire previously,

233
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 3: like four years ago, he got like really obsessed with it.

234
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 3: So he got yeah, I did. His friend sent him

235
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 3: high fire retardant gel and the guy has because he

236
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 3: lives in Palisades, he has a pool and a hot tub,

237
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 3: and immediately when the fire started, dumped the fire retardant

238
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 3: Jael into the hot tub, and then he had a

239
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 3: generator with a with a hose and then sprayed the

240
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 3: entire house with fire retarding to jail and then put

241
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 3: the hose in the pool and then just kept wedding

242
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 3: his house and his neighbors houses until he had to

243
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 3: literally leave, and his was the only house that liked

244
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,359
Speaker 3: was standing. That's so crazy.

245
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 2: It is so insane.

246
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 3: It's so crazy.

247
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 4: Anyways, thanks for all the support, Gang. It was incredible show.

248
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 4: Of unity and humanity and empathy, and we feel it.

249
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 4: And the people of la are probably still in shock,

250
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 4: but they're going to rebuild. We're going to keep cranking

251
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 4: out the movies. People are gonna need the yuck yucks

252

253
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,000

254
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 2: All right.

Speaker 3: we do would you rathers? So I want to give

257
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 3: a little bit of advice right here. This is a

258
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 3: listener of banannimal sent this in here we go, Hi there,

259
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 3: banana boys.

260
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 5: My name is Ceci, and I need some advice on

261
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 5: the creative side. So I do a lot of diving,

262
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 5: which is kind of like scuba, but you're just holding

263
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 5: your breath. And as part of that you get to

264
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 5: wear these really cool big long fins. They're about the

265
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 5: size of a skateboard deck, so think two and a

266
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 5: half feet long and eight inches wide.

267
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 2: I'm thinking they're really fun.

268
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 5: But my problem is mine are a little boring. I

269
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 5: have a friend who can design something for me and

270
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 5: print it up. I just have no clue what to

271
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 5: ask her to do. Unfortunately, bananas are off the table,

272
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 5: as a lot of boat captains really don't like bring

273
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 5: a banana on a boat.

274
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 2: That's true.

275
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 5: Some kind of superstition there. Now, if you were down

276
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 5: under the water and you looked over, what drawing or

277
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 5: picture would really make you giggle? I want to make

278
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 5: everybody happy who sees these fins and I appreciate your help.

Speaker 3: downwards for four hundred meters while holding their breath. I'm like,

291
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 3: I do, I do. Indeed, I will watch for the

292
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 3: entire four and a half minutes it takes for them

293
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 3: to fall through darkness.

294
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 4: There was a documentary I think that came out last

295
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 4: year and I watched the whole thing too, because it's

296
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 4: a it's a yes, it is fascinating opposite of what.

297
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 2: Humans are supposed to do.

298
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 4: We're not supposed to be underwater, and we're not supposed

299
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 4: to swim towards the bottom.

300
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 3: And then what I The thing that freaked me out

301
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 3: the most was that that at a certain point, I

302
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 3: had no idea that at a certain point you become

303
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 3: negatively buoyant because there's just simply not enough air in

304
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 3: your body anymore, because there's so the compression happens after

305
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 3: like I don't know, sixty feet ninety feet or something

306
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 3: like that, like three atmospheres that then you just start

307
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 3: falling downwards. So they swim for a little bit, and

308
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 3: then they just start falling, which seems to me to

309
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 3: be the most terrifying. So they don't have to hold

310
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 3: weights or anything like that. Their whole body just becomes heavy.

311
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 3: So this is fascinating that you do this. And I

312
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 3: am very familiar with the fins. The fins are very long,

313
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 3: and so here's my pitch. My pitch is and I

314
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 3: don't know if you can get it to come all

315
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 3: the way up to your ankle. And this would primarily

316
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 3: work if you Usually they wear those skins, those second skins,

317
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 3: you know, to keep themselves warm. But if you ever

318
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 3: were free diving, without them and you had bare legs.

319
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, then.

320
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 3: To then have an extension of your foot continue down

321
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 3: so your calf is like two and a half feet

322
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 3: longer than it is, and then right at the edges

323
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 3: your foot at your toenails at the very end, and

324
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 3: then the sides are just painted in with black.

325
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 2: I think that's a great idea because you could be

326
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 2: top and bottom. It could just look like your big

327
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 2: old feet. You got some big old hoppit feet.

328
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 3: You have super long log legs. You have two and

329
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 3: a half foot longer legs that you are eight and

330
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 3: a half feet tall. But it's all legs.

331
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 2: I love it.

332
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 3: It's all calf, it's all calves and ankles. You have

333
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 3: the longest ankles in the world. That's so funny.

334
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 2: To that's I got a second that vote.

335
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 4: I think if you can make it just like like

336
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 4: two giant feet top and bottom.

337
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 3: Fantastic, that's amazing.

338
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 4: I think you could get too yo Samity Sam holding

339
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 4: his pistols back offs on there like the mudflap truck

340
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 4: mud flaps.

341
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 2: Put that on there.

342
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 4: I also think there could be something where it says

343
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 4: bottoms up, where it only makes sense when you're going down.

344
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 4: When you're swimming down and your fins are up, it

345
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 4: looks like something. I don't know what that would be,

346
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 4: but I always thought the phrase bottoms up was so funny.

347
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 4: Could you let's see, I guess if it's only the top.

348
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 4: If I looked over at somebody and they were had

349
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 4: long I mean, big big feet is the funniest thing.

350
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 4: It's so funny look over and to see somebody look

351
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 4: like they have two and a half long feet.

352
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 3: Look, I have to specify this. It's not that they're wide.

353
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 3: They are the exact same width as your actual legs,

354
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 3: so they're just incredibly long. So it's not that you

355
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 3: have big feet, it's that you have really long ankles.

356
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's pretty damn good. I would laugh very hard

357
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 4: if I saw somebody also. That seems pretty doable. It

358
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 4: seems like I really Yeah, it's an easy one to do.

359
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 2: I think.

360
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it has to be accurate looking, you know, but hell,

361
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 3: you could do it. You could just make a photograph.

362
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 3: You could literally print a photograph of actual feet.

363
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's big enough where somebody could see it

364
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 4: from a little bit away, because if it was, if

365
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 4: it's too small, you know, you're in the water. You got,

366
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 4: you gotta scuba mask on, you gotta snorkel a mask on.

367
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 4: You can't see high details from ten feet away.

368
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 3: And if there's a chance, if there's a chance this

369
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 3: is a reference to an episode we just recorded that

370
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 3: probably either comes out next.

371
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 2: I think it'll beat it. I think it'll beat it.

372
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, But if it just says barefoot buddies, now two

373
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 3: feet making a hard shape, that would be great.

374
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think buddies.

375
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess if I have to give you another one,

376
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 4: I would paint them to look whatever. The most common

377
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 4: color is under the sea, So whatever matches the background

378
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 4: of the ocean, that type of blue, that deep sea blue.

379
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:30,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.

380
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 4: How about a classic cartoon sausage links just just wrapped

381
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 4: around in circles on both sides of it. Just seeing

382
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 4: somebody swimming with some reddish cartoon tied together sausage links,

383
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 4: I would enjoy that. I would enjoy if I looked

384
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 4: over and saw somebody kicking sausage away from their feet

385
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 4: really quickly, I would laugh.

386
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 2: Every time.

387
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 4: I feel like it has to have a long design

388
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 4: so it does look like you're trying to get away

389
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 4: from it. It just looks like sausage ropes are trying

390
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 4: to catch up.

391
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 3: To you that yatta, would you rather pound?

392
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 2: Let me see? I do have a few.

393
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 4: Oh, here's an interesting one, because when I read it,

394
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 4: I instantly went one way, and then then I thought

395
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 4: about tomort Okay, Trevor bergiereo or b tever. I think

396
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 4: it's Bergieiro, says curtain Scottie. Hello, that's us, that's us.

397
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 4: We then banana boys. Would you rather be able to

398
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 4: eat anything you want without any negative consequences? Or every

399
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 4: time you drink alcohol you get a perfect buzz and

400
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 4: can keep drinking with getting wasted or hungover, So you

401
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 4: could eat you could eat junk food, you can eat

402
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 4: ice cream ten times a day and you're not going

403
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 4: to get fatter and you're not going to have.

404
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 2: Cholesterol and hard issues.

405
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 4: Or every time you drink you get immediately to a

406
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 4: perfect buzz and you can keep drinking without ever getting

407
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 4: too drunk or hungover.

408
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 3: Ah, but I assume that that's the benefit. You still

409
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 3: but then like you get all the drawbacks of drink, right,

410
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 3: that's right, where you get you gain weight, you don't

411
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 3: sleep well, you know, you feel out of it, right, Okay,

412
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 3: I'm going to go for food, easy, peasy, I'm going

413
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 3: for food.

414
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's me too, because there's certainly when you travel

415
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 4: and there's certain food. Sometimes you go to a place

416
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 4: and you're like, this is so good. I think we

417
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 4: have to cancel dinner because I ate too much. And

418
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 4: then you're so bumped because you didn't get to go

419
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 4: have that po boy you were thinking about. Yeah on

420
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 4: Lake Ponta train sometimes, and there there's a deep sadness

421
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 4: when you, God, what first world problems. My apologies, my apologies,

422
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 4: this is so bougie. It's my apologies, But there is

423
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 4: a sadness when you're somewhere and you eat such a big,

424
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 4: delicious lunch that you have to cancel what you know

425
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 4: would have been a delicious dinner. And I if I

426
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 4: could just keep going without any consequences, Well, well but

427
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 4: what if food got.

428
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 2: Boring to you?

429
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 3: What if food got boring to you?

430
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 2: What if without limits?

431
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 3: Scotty we Okay, first off, time out, I have essentially

432
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 3: been living this way for my entire life.

433
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 4: Okay, all that is true, and it it never gets boring,

434
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 4: that's true, but I just haven't.

435
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 3: But I've also just been becoming more and more unhealthy

436
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 3: because of it. But I do eat, you know. I

437
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 3: I also, you know, track my calories. I go on

438
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 3: big spurts. I go three months on, three months off.

439
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 3: I get really healthy for three months and then I

440
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 3: get really unhealthy for the other three months. So it

441
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 3: just keeps going like this, and I always kind of

442
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 3: stay right in the middle. Yeah, that's true, But it

443
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 3: never ever gets boring. That's what's fascinating about food.

444
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're a big you have a wide palette though

445
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 4: you eat it all man, which I appreciate because I

446

454
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,399

455
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 3: Somebody asked me, like, what is something you wouldn't eat?

456
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 3: And I thought about it and I was like, I don't.

Speaker 3: I pretty much eat everything me too, like black licorice.

Speaker 3: Yeah, I like it. It's I recently ate. I was at

461
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 3: a restaurant where someone else was like, come on, we're

462
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 3: going out and I'm taking care of it. So we're

463
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 3: going to go somewhere. And it was a tasting menu

464
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 3: and on the menu was sweetbreads, and I had had

465
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 3: sweetbreads in the past, which are like, as I understand it,

466
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 3: just like the intestines and different different organ yeah, and

467
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 3: I was like, I'm gonna do it. I was like, yeah,

468
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 3: I'm gonna eat I'll eat everything. And it was a bowl.

469
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 2: Oh, that's too much of sweetbreads.

470
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 3: It was so much, and I and at the end

471
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 3: of it, I was like, I don't think in the

472
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 3: future I'm going to eat that. That was my first

473
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 3: time where I was just like, I think that I've

474
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 3: had enough of that richness. That richness was so rich

475
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 3: it overpowered everything else about the meal.

476
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 4: Yes, well, yeah, I'm with you, but I'm the same way.

477
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 4: It's like I say that, and then I have started

478
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 4: to lose interest in oysters. I think that there are

479
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 4: too many places.

480
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I've lost interest. They used to be my

481
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:53,760

577
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 3: pinball in the jacket pocket in the winter time, to

578
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 3: curl your hand around it feels amazing. It's satisfying, it

579
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 3: centers you. That's my suggestion.

580
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 4: Well, that's nice. That's totally unexpected and nice.

581
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 2: I appreciate that. A couple things.

582
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 4: One, I used to make business cards all the time

583
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 4: for myself and I would put I'm sure Kurt got one,

584
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 4: and I would hand them out because when I was

585
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 4: not in the industry and trying to break in, I

586
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 4: just wanted to make people laugh. And so one was

587
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 4: a really tan this guy was in a speedo standing

588
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 4: on a beach, very muscular tan guy with a beautiful

589
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 4: hair blown perm mullet thing, and then it said Scottie

590
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 4: Landis and then underneath it and quotes it said billionaire.

591
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 4: And then it just was my email. And I made

592
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 4: two hundred of them. I used to give them to friends,

593
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 4: but then when I would go by any community bulletin board,

594
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 4: I would just thumbtack it up there. And I did

595
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 4: it once at the old absent house on Bourbon Street.

596
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 4: I've mentioned Louisiana twice this episode, and somebody emailed me

597
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 4: and was like, are you really a billionaire? I found

598
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 4: this and sent me a photo of it. And I

599
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 4: used to just leave business cards with just my email,

600
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 4: like not enough personal information, with a photo of somebody

601
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 4: else and something dumb written on it, and people would

602
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 4: write to me. They would be like, hey, dude, I

603
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 4: saw this and I was here, and it's a fun

604
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 4: thing to do because you can give it to your friends.

605
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 4: Also useful. You could actually write your real number on

606
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 4: the back and hand it to somebody.

607
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 3: So I would say, do you get one?

608
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 2: I print some business cards?

609
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 3: Print business cards. In late high school early early college,

610
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 3: for me, I was like obsessed with not too much,

611
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 3: but phone freaking. Do you know? Do you know what

612
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 3: I'm talking about? Phone freaking? So they're payphones, public payphones.

613
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 3: There was all these different codes that you put into

614
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 3: public payphones to get free calls, to get uh there's

615
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 3: certain ones. There was always like the legend that like

616
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 3: you could get it to dump all of its quarters out.

617
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 3: Yes I never figured out, but I did know the

618
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 3: code to like be able to make free phone calls.

619
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 3: And you there was another one where you would like

620
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 3: hold a box up that would make us clicking zone

621
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 3: to the clicking sounds into the thing and you could

622
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 3: get them, you could like send away from them, and

623
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 3: then that would like have that would be a long

624
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 3: distance calls, long distance calls, international calls, all payphones. And

625
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 3: because of my interest in doing that, I got in.

626
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 3: So there was a there was a business card machine

627
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 3: in the CVU Square Mall in New Jersey, and it

628
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 3: was like it was supposed to. I guess you had

629
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 3: to feed money into it, or maybe it took credit cards.

630
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 3: It doesn't seem like it would take credit cards because

631
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 3: it was the nineties. But if you typed something like

632
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 3: free two fifty into it after you ordered up all

633
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 3: your like business cards, it would then just print two

634
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty free business cards. So we all had

635
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 3: business cards, and we all would just type free two

636
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 3: fifty into it, and then it would just give them

637
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 3: to us in credible. The mind said, of course, it

638
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 3: didn't make any sense. It's not as simple and funny

639
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 3: as just quotes billionaire. It was it said Pooch and

645
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 4: Put nonsense on it. Put something that you're not on there,

Speaker 4: don't evenin you use your real name, and either hand

689
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,760

690
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 4: and they start laughing too. So those are fake business

691

709
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll go while you think this is tough, I

710
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 3: immediately know it is the smell, and I don't find

711
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 3: it much anymore. And I must be the way the

712
00:34:56,120 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 3: ducting works on my house. But I used to always

713
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 3: smell it in Michigan. It was the smell of dryer

714
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 3: exhaust when you're using a uh sheet, a specific dryer sheet,

715
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 3: and I'm not sure which which it was. For some

716
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 3: reason that smell and it used to be there used

717
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 3: to be a vent on the side of the house

718
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 3: and it would and it was when it was cold

719
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,479
Speaker 3: out it would actually come out as like missed kind

720
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,720
Speaker 3: of because it was very hot and wet. That smell

721
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:36,439
Speaker 3: to me was I don't know why. It's signified home comfort. Yeah,

722
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 3: it's signified comfort. It signified and there was also a

723
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 3: unexplained kind of almost time travel essence to it of

724
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 3: something that I've never experienced, but I know that I

725
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,439
Speaker 3: love like when you were in a dream and you're

726
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,359
Speaker 3: in love with someone and you know you've never seen

727
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 3: their face. Has this ever happened to you where you've

728
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 3: like seen a person you know you're in love with

729
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 3: them and you know them deep like crying and I

730
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,280
Speaker 3: and I can and I but it's not a person

731
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:07,879
Speaker 3: I know in this world. It's that that that kind

732
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 3: of a feeling is smelling that to me.

733
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, that takes me back too, because like when you're

734
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 4: a kid and you'd be have a snow day or

735
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,399
Speaker 4: snowed over weekend, you'd sled all day with your friends,

736
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 4: snowball fight, you destroy yourselves. You've already gone to one

737
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 4: friend's house, had hot chocolate, and you put your wet

738
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 4: clothes back on, which is the nightmare. Yes, and then

739
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 4: you trudge back home, dragging your sled behind you through

740
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 4: the snow, and then.

741
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 2: You see your house.

742
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 4: Yes, but I can remember the steam and I didn't

743
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 4: think about that, but there was always a spot of

744
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 4: grass under there, because the steam would melt the grass

745
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 4: on that one little patch, and you knew you were

746
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 4: getting close. Oh man, that's a good memory. I totally

747
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 4: forgot about that. That's a really funny visual because, yeah,

748
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 4: you would see that little hole in the snow where

749
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 4: the steam from the dryer, probably drying the wet snow

750
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 4: clothes you wore the day before. Remember those gloves. I'm

751
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 4: sure they still make them, but they I used to

752
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 4: have transformers ones.

753
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 3: Freaky freezies. Yeah, yeah, I love them.

754
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 4: They still make Where it was blank and then you

755
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,280
Speaker 4: go outside and they get cold, and then the images

756
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 4: come onto.

757
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it would be like like a mountain or something.

758
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 2: God, that's the best.

759
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 3: God, damn it, that's the best. And well in every

760
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 3: piece of article of clothing. Now with that on it,

761
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 3: it's probably incredibly toxic. That's the answer.

762
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 4: Well, we saw it something. We had those bananas hypercolor

763
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 4: style shirts, the heat changing shirts.

764
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 2: And when we pitched that idea that old.

765
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 4: Company not exactly right to the other company that made

766
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 4: our merch they were like, really, these are gonna be

767
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 4: like forty bucks. And then the fastest thing we've ever

768
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 4: sold were the color changing shirt.

769
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 3: Let's bring back the color chat.

770
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 4: I know, let's get a new design. I like the

771
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 4: best in the biz design, but yeah, like, let's do

772
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 4: that and then make them hyper colored shirts.

773
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 2: I think those were so fun. Okay, anyways, back for

774
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:45,760
Speaker 2: the colored shirts.

775
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 3: There's no reason there isn't really a reason to have

776
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 3: any type of any other type of shirt at this

777
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 3: point other than a hypercolor shirt. I would love a jacket.

778
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 3: I would love a jacket that inside is white and

779
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 3: outside is a different color. I would love that.

780
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,760
Speaker 2: Mmmmm, give it to me, folks, Yeah, I know, somebody.

781
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 3: It's the future. Give it to me.

782
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 2: Your clothes need to change color all the time in the.

783
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 3: Future the time everywhere.

784
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 4: Well, they're making those new BMW's and stuff that you

785
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 4: can change the color of your car. It has like

786
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 4: a skin on it, And I'm.

787
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 3: Like, shut up, gosh, what shut up?

788
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 2: It's so dorky. Are you kidding me?

789
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,399
Speaker 3: You can change the color of your car.

790
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, it has like a skin on it that can

791
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 4: be white black. Like you could change the color of

792
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 4: your car. You can click a button and changes the

793
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 4: color your car. I do believe it. It's so boring

794
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 4: to me. That's so boring. I think it's supposed to

795
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 4: be creative, and instead I'm like, this sucks. This is

796
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 4: so uninteresting to me. Now, if you could make it

797
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 4: do stuff and say stuff like, say, make it look

798
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,839
Speaker 4: like two giant like it makes you look like you're

799
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 4: sitting naked in your own car going really fast or

800
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 4: dangling from the steering wheel. It looked like your hands

801
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 4: are on the steeling one of the rest of your

802
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 4: body was along the side the car and the feet

803
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:53,280
Speaker 4: were flapping.

804
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 3: All right, No, no, I'm interested.

805
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 2: I'll slap in.

806
00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 4: My Discover Cary. You're getting my my diner's up guard. Anyways,

807
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 4: back to the smell. You know what smell like and

808
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 4: I know you like this too, is the smell of

809
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 4: and it's not.

810
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 2: Dissimilar when you're at the beach. Yeah, lay a towel out.

811
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're laying face down on a clean towel at

812
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 4: the beach with sun tan, locean on.

813
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 2: So it's that combination.

814
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 4: Of warm laundry, ocean breeze, and the coconuty smell of

815
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 4: you know, copper tone, and you just bury your.

816
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,720
Speaker 3: Face on the specific smell of copper tone.

817
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you dig a little hole for your face

818
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 4: so you can lay kind of flat and that smell

819
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 4: of your face in a sand hole on your towel

820
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 4: with some block on that. I if I could close

821
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 4: my eyes and do that, I would be a happy

822
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 4: guy instead of I love that.

823
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 3: That's a good so much. I would also just say

824
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 3: the ocean in general, if I could smell the ocean.

825
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 3: And here's the thing. Here's the thing about this question.

826
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 3: This is a good one. But smells for the human brain,

827
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 3: I find they have to be fleeting otherwise they're noxious,

828
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 3: like like if you have it all the time, it's

829
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 3: too much. That is the unique impermanence of smell. It

830
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 3: is a it's a wild smells a. It is one

831
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,760
Speaker 3: of the wildest senses of the senses.

832
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 4: Scottie, Yeah, I would say it's one of the five

833
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,160
