00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: a pretty damn good maritime bell.

9
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 3: Yes it does. Actually, that's I'm pulling.

Speaker 1: do up many minnesod together.

12
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,400

13
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 3: a marina, you see those extra small dinghies and you're

14
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,960

15
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 3: if you have a sailboat, you can afford a better

16
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 3: dinghy than this.

17
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's literally one person can go on it. Maybe

18
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: too if you sit next to it.

19
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly right.

20
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 1: Have you seen that? Have you seen that that? It's

21
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,160

23
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 1: big bay and they have like a little outboard motor

24
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: just's like like a zodiac and then the motor just

25
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: falls off into the water and you just see them

26
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: just be like, what the fuck? And do they just

27
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: slowly move to a hall. There's nothing you could do.

28
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: Like it's gone. The thing is gone, and they're in

29
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:41,480

116
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: I mean, like there's one right there. I mean, like

117
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: we just got a roll with that. That that was.

118
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: That was you know, we'll come back to yours. We'll

119
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: come back to yours.

120
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 3: I totally get it. I mean, okay, So, I.

121
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: Mean if you if you grabbed my dog and jumped

122
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: into a lake with my dog, my dog would have

123
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: destroyed you out of pure fear. Out of pure fear,

124
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: it just would have started scratching you. You would have

125
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: gotten up in your you just chest would have been

126
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: ribbons because my dog wouldn't notice swim. It would just

127
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: panic and try and like hold onto your neck with

128
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: its claws. So I'm happy it was a more chill

129
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: dog than my dog. But I don't recommend anyone jumping

130
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: into a lake with another person's dog across the board.

131
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 3: No. I think picking up any animal that's not yours

132
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 3: and jumping into any body of water is not a

133
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 3: good idea, no matter how drunk you are. I went

134
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 3: to a wedding at Lake Anna, which is in Virginia.

135
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 3: It's heated the water was man made, or the lake

136
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 3: was man made when the water is used to cool

137
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 3: a nuclear facility.

138
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: Oh my god. So it's heated by the.

139
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 3: So the whole lake stays eighty degrees the whole year round.

140
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 3: It steams in the winter. It's an incredible weird place.

141
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 3: So I went to this wedding, super hot, humid Virginia night.

142
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 3: I was there with a bunch of friends, and there

143
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 3: was a smaller group of us who decided to go

144
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 3: swimming after the reception while the while the reception was

145
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 3: still taking place. So we go down to the pier.

146
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 3: We're swimming, we're floating. It's really fun. We're drunk. And

147
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 3: then I found a little refrigerator in this boat house

148
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 3: that's nearby, and it was one hundred percent full with

149
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 3: blue moons, like one hundred percent. So you know what

150
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 3: we did. We drank about three cases of blue moon

151
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 3: between four or five of us. Wis floating just peeing

152
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 3: in the lake, being young. We drive to the radioactive lake,

153
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 3: you know, radioactive lake.

154
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: You find a just a whole refrigerator full of blue.

155
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 3: Moons, sleeping in our i mean swimming in our underwear, floating,

156
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 3: having the time of our life. Bryce was there. It

157
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 3: was great. The next morning, the reception was at that lakehouse.

158
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 3: It was a big brunch. We got there kind of

159
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 3: lake because a lot of us were hungover, and there

160
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 3: was a bit of a kerfuffle because there was no

161
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 3: alcohol for anyone because someone had drunk all the blue

162
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 3: moons the night before. So your options were Mimosa's or nothing.

163
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 3: And people just peeled out from the post wedding brunch

164
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 3: like nah, say, like they needed that hair of the dog.

165
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: Did you ever, did you ever own up? Did you

166
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:19,559
Speaker 1: fess up to it? No?

167
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 3: Casey and Amanda, I'm so sorry that Bryce and two

168
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 3: other people and one of your brothers drank all of

169
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 3: your blue moons. We did not know. In our defense,

170
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 3: we thought that we were stealing them from neighbors.

171
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I have I really don't. I don't

172
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 1: have it. Like I went to lakes as a child

173
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: because we lived in Michigan, but like adult lake times,

174
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: I really only had one. It was outside of Austin.

175
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: This was when I was traveling cross country after graduating

176
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: from college. We were staying at my friend Calvin Johnson's house.

177
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I know k in.

178
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: Austin, and he brought us to this big lake that's

179
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: just outside Austin and has these huge cliffs, and it

180
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: was like part of it was during a drought, so

181
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: the cliffs were even higher, do you know what I mean?

182
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: And we were like jumping off cliffs having a great time.

183
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: And then we camped and we camped on just like

184
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: a little spit of land that probably would be underwater

185
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: if it wasn't such a drought. And we were drinking

186
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: uh box wine and one hundred and eight degrees all

187
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: day long into the night camping, and then at like

188
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: a certain point in the night, I the bag. The

189
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 1: bag comes out of the box. If you're drinking enough

190
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: box wine. The bag comes out and it's like it's

191
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: like this milar bag and it.

192
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 3: Looks like a ghost splatter bag.

193
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a little ghost splatter And so I

194
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: just have a memory of straddling Calvin. He lay He's

195
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: laying down on the sand and I'm straddling him, squeezing

196
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: it into his mouth, screaming space spa and then we

197
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: all fell asleep and woke up to one million insects

198
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: all over us. Oh yeah, with the worst headache. And

199
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: it was like eight am. It was immediately like one

200
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: hundred degrees. The one of the worst mistakes of my entire.

201
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 3: Texas that first summer is not you don't want to camp,

202
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 3: but you don't want to go to Texas in this summer.

203
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 3: It's just not the place for you.

204
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: It is unpleasant. Scottie. Let's get back to this beautiful

205
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: story that you started with. My heart goes out to

206
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: this couple. I'm so happy that we could provide them

207
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: a teensy weensy teeny trainy bit of happiness.

208
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 3: It's gonna be okay, It's all gonna work out. Here

209
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 3: we go, Sam Scobel. So here's the story I have

210
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 3: a story about my friend that we will call Ricky.

211
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 3: So all great stories on this podcast always start when

212
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 3: we have to use a pseudonym. He is one of

213
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 3: the most unique and funny people that I have ever known.

214
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 3: Before I met him, I had already heard about him

215
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 3: through other friends, including one time during his short college stint,

216
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 3: where he would spend his spare time playing electric guitar

217
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 3: in the window of his dorm while wearing a werewolf

218
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 3: mask and covered completely in fake blood. Yes, this is

219
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 3: what college is for. If you go to college and

220
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 3: you don't do stuff like this constantly, you have failed exactly.

221
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 3: I first met Ricky at a party on New Year's

222
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 3: Eve two thousand and three. I had just turned eighteen.

223
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 3: Ricky was older than me, but still under twenty one.

224
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 3: He had already been drinking a fair deal that day

225
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 3: when I arrived to the party, so naturally he was

226
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 3: feeling good and a little warmed up. Throughout the night,

227
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 3: he would do this thing where he quote was initiating

228
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 3: the cooling system, which he would lift up his shirt,

229
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 3: spit on his belly, rub the spit all over it,

230
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 3: and then blow. Once it was done, he raised his

231
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 3: head with satisfaction and would say, ah, I feel refreshed,

232
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 3: so he's initiating the cooling system already. We love Ricky,

233
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 3: But the best story I have about him was during

234
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 3: my freshman year. I was hanging out in the house

235
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 3: with some friends who will call Walter and Aaron. Sometime

236
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 3: during the night, Walter gets a call from Ricky. After

237
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 3: he hangs up, he says, hey, Ricky's coming, and he

238
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 3: sounded really, really weird. When he comes over, Ricky was barefoot,

239
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 3: not wearing his glasses and immediately went to the corner

240
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 3: of Walter's bedroom satin chair, looked at nobody and said

241
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 3: nothing to anyone. For hours. It was clear that something

242
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 3: was wrong.

243
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: I would think, I would say, so.

244
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 3: I would say, maybe Ricky was having a moment here.

245
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 3: It was clear something was wrong. But after all these years,

246
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 3: the only thing I'm thinking is that the substances in

247
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 3: his body were more than one thing. He was on

248
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 3: many things. We asked him all night, if you're okay?

249
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 3: Are you all right? And he would just nod and

250
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 3: grunt and not say anything. He acted like this for hours.

251
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 3: Later on, we're watching wonder Shows, and.

252
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what an amazing show. Kindred Spirits is

253
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 1: perfectly dates. I know perfectly dates two thousand this story. Yeah,

254
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: I know exactly what where I was, what I was

255
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 1: doing when I was watching Wonder shows in Okay while.

256
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 3: Laughing at Wonder shows, and I bring up that I'm

257
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 3: taking a chemistry course over the summer at a community college.

258
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 3: At this point, Aaron excitedly says, oh, dude, maybe you'll

259
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 3: get to work with thermite. I had no idea what

260
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 3: thermite was, so I asked him. He said, it's a

261
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 3: substance that can burn anything completely through and cannot be

262
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 3: extinguished until it runs out. I don't know if that's

263
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 3: how it actually works, but the description matters for this story.

264
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 3: So I start quizzing Aaron. Can it burn through steel yes?

265
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 3: Can it burn through a car yes? Can it burn

266
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 3: through concrete yes. It got to the point where I

267
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 3: literally asked, so in theory, a big enough pile of

268
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 3: this could burn a hole through the center of the earth,

269
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 3: And Aaron confidently says yes. So as a group, we've

270
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 3: established that thurmite was an unstoppable inferno of terror. Ricky,

271
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 3: who had not spoken all night, speaks up in a

272
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 3: slow paced voice and asks, yeah, but can it burn

273
00:13:51,440 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 3: through fucking RoboCop. Oh, of all the times I've told

274
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 3: this story in person, I always break and laughter before

275
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 3: I can finish it. Even though it's been sixteen years,

276
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 3: I don't know if I've ever heard a funnier line

277
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 3: in my entire life. Sam, we love you. Yeah, but

278
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 3: Ken it burned through fucking RoboCop.

279
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: That's a perfect way to come back to the party. God,

280
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: what a beautiful way back to the party. The the

281
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: initiating the cooling system made me think for a very

282
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: long time, New York City's, you know, walking around all

283
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: day long in the summertime, Yeah, just get very sweaty

284
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: and uncomfortable, like an oven. And my friend like me

285
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: and Damien and Chris would always carry gold bombs medicated

286
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: powder with us in our backpack. Yes, and then you

287
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: put a little medicated powder in the undercarriage and it's

288
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: like you went on a on a crisp cool vacation firm.

289
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 3: It's like your cross is chewing winter fresh gum.

290
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: It's the It's it's absolutely beautiful. And so Damien got

291
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: into doing this. He liked it so much that he

292
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: would use it. Literally every day. You would take a shower,

293
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: use some gold bombs.

294
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 3: I think a lot of men have done that. I

295
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 3: think that's a ritual. Yes.

296
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: So he had been dating the woman who he is

297
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: now married to. He had been dating her for like

298
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: two years and uh and finally one day she approaches

299
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: him and she goes, I know what you've been doing.

300
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what what have I been doing? She's like,

301
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: I see it on the floor. What She's like, You've

302
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: been getting up in the morning doing cocaine and going

303
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: to work.

304
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 3: Sure, sure, who doesn't do that?

305
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: And we just kept thinking and he's like, no, babe,

306
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: it's it's gold bombs medicated powder. But the idea that

307
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: she thought that he was in the shower taking a

308
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: nice hot shower, then coming out that taking like a

309
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: fistful of cocaine and throwing it in the air and

310
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: then kind of running through it back and forth in

311
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: hailing yes, and then a.

312
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 3: Ready to go to work. Two thousand dollars up the

313
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 3: old snooter. It's time to hit the pavement and earn

314
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 3: it all back. That was she like, was she angry

315
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 3: or was she swared or she was pissed.

316
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: That she was mad?

317
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh that's even better. She thought he was a

318
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 3: closet coke head who had to do a couple a

319
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 3: pile of bumps.

320
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: A pile of bumps and miss his nose so much

321
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: that there's cocaine all over the floor.

322
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 3: One time at Damien's party, I think it was when

323
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 3: you were living on in a pup ten on his floor.

324
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 3: I got to talk her to a woman and she

325
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 3: was a floutest. She played the flute in I think

326
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 3: the New York Symphony Orchestra or whatever it's called, the

327
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 3: New York Philharmonic. And she said something, This isn't like

328
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 3: a great hilarious story, but she said something I've thought

329
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 3: about ever since. She was like most flute players, most

330
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 3: floutests are left handed, and yeah, which I never thought

331
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,719
Speaker 3: about because I guess you finger with your left hands.

332
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 3: And then she said when she needs to breathe, she

333
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 3: would wrap her right she would stand on one foot

334
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 3: and put her the front of her right foot on

335
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 3: her back knee, almost like pushing against it, and that

336
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 3: would help her get more air into her diaphragm. And

337
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 3: so I can't stop thinking about all flouts left handed

338
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,959
Speaker 3: like then she can go like a flame, but like

339
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 3: on the back. So if you put the front of

340
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 3: your right foot on the back of your left knee,

341
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 3: so right in that crease and uh, super weird. But

342
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 3: it's one of those weird party details where all you

343
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 3: probably don't remember her. I've no idea she was, but

344
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 3: it was such a great party chat.

345
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's crazy. And they do that like

346
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 1: circular breathing right where it's like they inhale and exhale

347
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: it kind of at the same time.

348
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 3: I think, So maybe I have The reason I wanted

349
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 3: to tell this story is I've had a lot of

350
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 3: stories about people being silent at a party and then

351
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 3: saying something outrageous. Rob thought I hired my cousin once

352
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 3: who was just really drunk and was so drunk the

353
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 3: room was spinning, so he didn't say anything. But our

354
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,959
Speaker 3: friend Robber Anderson thought I hired an actor to not

355
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 3: say anything all night, which is something I might do.

356
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 3: So when I was in Franklin High School in Reisterstown,

357
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 3: I was a junior, and when you're a senior in Maryland,

358
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 3: you get like two weeks off before the rest of

359
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 3: the school they obviously called senior Week. Most people go

360
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 3: to Ocean City, but a lot of the seniors before

361
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,959
Speaker 3: graduating just have parties on a Wednesday night because they

362
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 3: don't have anywhere to be and it's cool and anybody

363
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 3: who's got a cool basement. And I was friends with

364
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 3: the older kids, so I go to this party. And

365
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 3: because it was after graduation, they were all going to

366
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 3: be going to college. It was like a weirder mix

367
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 3: than a normal mix, like more people were included I

368
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 3: would see. And there were some nice kids there. There

369
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 3: were some of the goodie two shoes who were so

370
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 3: worried about the sets and straight a's and stuff. But

371
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 3: now that show was over, they knew they were going

372
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 3: to college. Now it was their summer of living and loving.

373
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 3: So the party's gone on and everybody's drinking beers and stuff,

374
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 3: and I'm goof and I'm good and having fun on

375
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 3: one of the louder ones. And there's this girl. I'm

376
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,600

377
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 3: who is a senior who is very polite, suddenly stands

378
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 3: up and everybody notices, very quiet, and goes, I don't

00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 3: bedroom at whoever's house this was, and they emerge ten

387
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 3: minutes later, smiling and holding hands sweetly. Everybody cheers. Everybody

Speaker 3: an hour later. What this time? They take more like

422
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 1: other nerdy boy just up and went, I don't want

423
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: to go to college without having sex. Who wants to

424
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: have sex? Even though that that woman girl was thinking that,

425
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 1: she probably would have been like, no, I don't think

426
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: I am like dead silence crickets. Yes, would have just

427
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:57,960
