Speaker 6: Well, you've just heard her voice a little bit.

21
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: She used to be on the nightly show host of

22
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: MTV's Decoded.

23
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 6: She has a book.

24
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: Well that escalated quickly, and just today was nominated for

25
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: an Emmy for.

26
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 6: Writing for the Oscars.

27
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: Please welcome to the show, Francesca Ramsey.

28
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 3: Air airhorns.

29
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 6: Oh, I wish I had my air I usually have

30
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 6: an airhorn on my phone. How you doing, Welcome.

31
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 4: I'm doing pretty good. Thanks for having me.

32
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 6: So, what did you wake up and find out the

33
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 6: Emmy news.

34
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 5: Oh I mean I was like looking at my phone

35
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 5: every five minutes, like where is the announcement? But then

36
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 5: the Oscars category is like Live Variety and they don't

37
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 5: actually announce that. It's all like the big categories. So

38
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 5: I had to like download a pedia from the Emmy

39
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 5: website and like do a deep search.

40
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: So did you know did you know that it was

41
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: going to be nominated beforehand or were you just like

42
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: searching to see I knew there was a possibility.

43
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 5: Like the Oscars people reached out and asked for all

44
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 5: of like you need to get your address and all

45
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 5: the stuff just in case you do win so they

46
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 5: can send the Emmy to you.

47
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 3: So that was amazing.

48
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 5: Two months ago they reached out, So that was like

49
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 5: very exciting, and you know, it's one of those things

50
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 5: where I'm definitely I feel very proud, but I also

51
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 5: feel like the Oscars did a lot of the heavy lifting,

52
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 5: Like the show was going to be good no matter what.

53
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 5: I just happened to be there.

54
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 3: No, no, no, you contributed.

55
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 2: That's right. You're a big part. You're part of the team.

56
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 2: It's about putting a team together. Where are you going

57
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: to put it. You're gonna keep that oscar when you

58
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 2: win in are you're gonna give it to mom or dad?

59
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 3: What are you gonna do?

60
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 4: What am I going to? Are you kidding me? I'm

61
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 4: gonna take it everywhere with me.

62
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you're gonna make it into a hat, that's cool.

63
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I'm gonna carry it with me everywhere. I'm

64
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 5: gonna have like printed out, like coffee photos of it.

65
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 4: If anybody wants to take one home with them.

66
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: A little just just like a business card size you

67
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: have in your pocket.

68
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 4: I'm gonna have fridge magnets, buttons.

69
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: My wife has an Emmy and for some reason, it's

70
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: in the bathroom.

71
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 3: That's where I think that's common.

72
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: I think that's the most commonplace for it, because like,

73
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: you want to put it out where people are gonna

74
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: see it, but you might not necessarily want to put

75
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 2: it like front and center where where you're like, okay,

76
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: you're being a little showy. But I think I would

77
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: probably put it. I'd use it as a paper towel rack,

78
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: I think, and just be like, oh I'm out again.

79
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 2: Best writing, Best common writing. Congratulations, that's a really cool honor.

80
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:04,839
Speaker 5: Thank you.

81
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 4: I'm excited.

82
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: Oh you should be, so do you want to hear

83
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: about since you're since you're an Emmy nominated Oscar writer,

84
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: can we bring you all the way down into the

85
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: dirt with taxidermists are turning deer butts into ask quatches. Now,

86
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: this is and this is the reason that this is

87
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: an unusual story for me to bring up is that

88
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: I just posted this to Instagram. And usually we don't

89
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: post the stories on Instagram that we talk about on

90
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: the podcast, but it's just so visual it had to

91
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: be posted to Instagram, so hopefully people will be familiar

92
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: with this when we start talking about it. I am

93
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: going to screen share right now to show you guys

94
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: these things because they are the funniest.

95
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 3: Well, we are going to.

96
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 2: Send Francesca if she wins the Oscar, she's going to

Speaker 2: get the Emmy, she's going to get the double prize

98
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 2: because we're going to send you an askquatch. If you yeah,

99
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 2: you're getting both. You're getting the M and the ass.

100
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 4: I'm excited to see this.

101
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 5: Something about it tells me that it's not my aesthetic,

102
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 5: but I'm.

103
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 4: Going to keep it open more.

104
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 6: Okay, here is the ass. This is one ask.

105
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: First off, to me, my first impression is a deer's

106
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: butt is beautiful.

107
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 6: It is a very nice butt.

108
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 4: Well, okay, this is a deer's butt. And then they

109
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 4: put a face on it or is that like? Or

110
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 4: is the butthole where the mouth is?

111
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: I'm so believe that the butthole is where the mouth is.

112
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: And that is a face that's been I guess glued

113
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: onto a deer's behind.

114
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 5: Yes, I hate that one.

115
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 6: This one is like a centaur.

116
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 5: One, and like the teeth look like, oh my god,

117
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 5: they look like little two stones.

118
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 3: All well, wow.

119
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 2: Since podcasting is not a visual medium, if you go

120
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 2: on our instagram you can see it, or you can

121
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: google a squats. But basically, if you imagine the butt

122
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 2: of a deer, which we can all do effortlessly, now

123
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: turn it upside down, so the white tail the deer

124
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 2: hangs down like a long beard, and sort of the hips,

125
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 2: the rear hips stick up in the air almost like

126
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 2: Larry uh yeah, exactly like Larry David's hair. And then

127
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 2: where the butthole would be is the nose or the mouth?

128
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: And then they that one's really good.

129
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 4: I just want to say, I am horrified and impressed.

130
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 5: That you realize that the butt was upside down because

131
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 5: I could not figure out what I was looking at.

132
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 4: But you are more versed in deer butts than I am.

133
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: I sit around and describe all species. But to anybody

134
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 2: that'll listen, come here, we can.

135
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 6: We can cut it out.

136
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 4: Don't My dog is getting outside. Come here, come sit

137
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 4: with me.

138
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: Well, they are certainly disturbing. They do look like several

139
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 2: of my uncles, which is extremely disturbing.

140
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: I love this one that is directly above a fire,

141
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: a fire alarm that there's a fire.

142
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 4: I'm screwed because I'm not going anywhere.

143
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is if you go back.

144
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: If you you should pause the podcast right now and

145
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: go to the Instagram about a week ago.

146
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 6: Uh, and you can take a look at Oh it's just.

147
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 4: I hate all of these.

148
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 6: Why you should wait?

149
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 4: Okay, So how much do these cost?

150
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 3: Great?

151
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 6: Great question?

152
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 4: Or are they just free? I don't why would someone

153
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 4: want one of these?

154
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 2: Are they paying people to take these away from them?

155
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 2: YEA a nightmare inducing things. But if Kurt and I

156
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 2: ever get back in the studio and the Banana Studio

157
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 2: and the exactly right studios, we gotta get one, dude.

158
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 2: We gotta hang one up behind one of our heads.

159
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 2: So every time the camera cuts to us, people scream

160
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 2: and unsubscribe.

161
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: Oh think I think We'll walk in there and Karen

162
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: and George will be like, h We're not putting this

163
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: thing on the.

164
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 3: Water without a doubt.

165
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 6: Without a doubt.

166
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: That is truly upsetting. Also, I guess a creative use

167
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: for the butt of a deer. No one is doing anything,

168
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: I guess with the butt of a deer. Obviously no

169
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: one's killing a deer to have an assquatch. This is

170
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: definitely like we're using every piece of the deer.

171
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:46,479
Speaker 4: I guess.

172
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 5: I'm really I'm trying so hard to say something favorable

173
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 5: about the deer butt, but it's.

174
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 6: You just you can sit on it. Oh, you can

175
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 6: on it.

176
00:08:58,400 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 4: Thank you.

177
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 2: Sometimes people ask me if Maryland I'm from Maryland, Francesca,

178
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 2: if that's a northern state or southern state, And a

179
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 2: lot of people adamantly say it's a northern state, and

180
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 2: a lot of people say it's southern, and then we

181
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 2: all kind of just meet in the middle and say

182
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 2: it's mid Atlantic. But when I was in high school,

183
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 2: there were these two rednecks in my high school that

184
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 2: would drive their trucks into cornfields and try to run

185
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 2: over deer. They would try to hunt deer with their trucks,

186
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 2: and to me, that's not something you're seeing all the

187
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 2: time up north. So I always yeah, I know it

188
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 2: was insane. And you would be like, oh, where'd you

189
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 2: guys go? And they're like, oh, we just drove through

190
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: the other cornfields to try to hit some deer.

191
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 6: And you know that's crazy.

192
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 4: Wow.

193
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: They're probably not alive, those guys. They probably didn't see thirty.

194
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 7: But.

195
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 4: Well karma comes for us. All.

196
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, they got some deer butts. They saw that thing

197
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 2: the right side up. And then then in the pearly gates,

198
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, and then Codeine.

199
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 6: All right, Scottie, give me one.

200
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 3: Okay, let's shift gears a little bit.

201
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 2: This is from I think it's the Deccan Chronicle or

202
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: the Deacon Chronicle. No writer, and I wrote a little note,

203
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 2: Oh sorry, buddy Joys, didn't they do this? It's okay.

204
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: This is asquatch stuff was sent to us by at

205
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: the pin Bar, and it's from the sad and useless

206
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: internet site good Name.

207
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 4: Yeah. I like that they're just upfront about what they do.

208
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that should be my production company. Honestly, yeah, sad

209
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 2: and less. I'll type it it'll suck decon chronicle. No

210
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 2: writer attributed to this, because after I read it to you,

211
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 2: you'll understand why woman in quote relationship with ghost from

212
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 2: Australia wants to have a baby with him.

213
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 5: Okay, I listen her body, her choice.

214
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 4: I that's right, support you, siss, you know what I mean?

215
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 4: I know I would, honestly the more than I.

216
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 5: Think about it, like I think a ghost baby would

217
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 5: be great, Like, yeah, what kind of noise does a

218
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 5: ghost baby make? What kind of formula do you need

219
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 5: to feed a ghost baby?

220
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 4: Like? Babies are very expensive, So if I'm gonna get.

221
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 5: A baby up in here, I want one that doesn't smell, that.

222
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 4: Doesn't cry, that doesn't shit, you know what I mean? Like, yes,

223
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 4: I cannot see it downside.

224
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 1: I think a ghost baby would sound like a regular

225
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: baby crying backwards like.

226
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 3: You're really good at that does.

227
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 4: Not sound like a baby crying at all? What are

228
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 4: you talking?

229
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 6: Oh man, come meet my baby?

230
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 5: Oh okay, fair, fair, this is why I'm a ghost

231
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 5: baby because I really don't you know, I don't, I

232
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 5: don't know.

233
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 2: Yep, So here we go. A woman who claims to

234
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 2: have turned her back on men to have sex with

235
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 2: ghosts for more than eleven years is now claiming to

236
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 2: be in a serious relationship with a specter. I'm not no,

237
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 2: I mean, give how you want to live if it's

238
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 2: legal and consensual, get weird. The UK based spiritual guidance counselor,

239
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 2: her name is Amethyst Realm, claims to have sexual encounters

240
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 2: with twenty different ghostly lovers over eleven years. However, plot twist,

241
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: she recently met a special spectral figure during a trip

242
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 2: to Australia, a ghost who may turn out to be

243
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 2: her one true love. Oh, it's heating up. One day,

244
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 2: while she was walking through the bushes, she felt his

245
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 2: incredible energy and knew that a new lover had arrived,

246
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 2: revealing details of her. Revealing details of her relationship, she said,

247
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 2: although she can't see her ghostly lover, she is able

248
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 2: to communicate and have sex with it. She's not one

249
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 2: hundred percent sure if it is male, but the connection

250
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 2: between the two is very real. And the ghost returned

251
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 2: to the UK with her six months after they met.

252
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 2: And it's still going strong, guys, I mean amazingly, it's

253
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 2: still going strong, She hopes to take things even further,

254
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 2: and added they have been thinking about having a ghost baby.

255
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 2: Quote I know that sounds crazy, but I've been looking

256
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 2: into it and I don't think it's totally out of

257
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 2: the question.

258
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 3: End quote.

259
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 2: Up to the listeners to decide. Amethyst went on to

260
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 2: explain that she had a particular theory that phantom pregnancies

261
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 2: are actually ghost babies, very strange trapped in human bodies.

262
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 2: She believes that some women can be impregnated by spirits,

263
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 2: but because the human body and mind cannot process it,

264
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 2: the pregnancy does not go to term. Quote I'm sure

265
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: there's a way around that. I just haven't worked it

266
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 2: out yet. End quote. So, and this is sort of

267
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 2: a nice little detail, because you know, having a child

268
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 2: is a very, very big responsibility. Amethyst says her relationship

269
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 2: with her first ghost lasted for three years, but it

270
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 2: eventually petered out.

271
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 4: Did he ghost her?

272
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 3: Oh?

273
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 6: No, he lived her.

274
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

275
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 4: I will say I really like that.

276
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 5: She said that she's given up on men and so

277
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 5: she's dating ghosts instead. Like that just gives me a

278
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 5: new appreciation for her, because a lot of us, you

279
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 5: know what I mean, a lot of us ladies.

280
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 4: Are like, well, I guess I'm.

281
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 5: Still doing this, and she was like, no, I don't

282
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 5: have to take your shit. I'm gonna go and get

283
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 5: me a ghost man. Like I just I feel like

284
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 5: it's so proactive.

285
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like I also feel like it's indicative

286
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: of just how hard it is to date right well,

287
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: that it's like preferable to not only dat a ghost,

288
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: but then raise a ghost baby as well, Like does

289
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: the ghost baby just stay a baby forever?

290
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 6: Or at what point does the baby grow up?

291
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 4: I don't know, I mean.

292
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 5: And then if it is a ghost baby, does it

293
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 5: like haunt your house?

294
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 4: Does it does it get to leave? Or does it

295
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 4: just like always hang around your property.

296
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 6: There's some many deep, deep, deep deep question.

297
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 2: If you leave your room, bone, does your room but

298
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 2: suck up your ghost baby and then just keep on

299
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 2: moving across the living room, you really gotta wonder what's

300
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 2: going on. I'm on her side. It's funny that it

301
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 2: flew on the plane. How does a ghost travel on

302
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 2: a plane. That's that's the best thing.

303
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 4: Why would a ghost take a plane?

304
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 5: Like I would just think that a ghost would be

305
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 5: able to just magically appear wherever.

306
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 6: It wants yes, that's the question.

307
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 3: That is the question.

308
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: If she bought it a ticket, then she really believes

309
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: in it. And if she did yes ticket, I don't

310
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: buy it.

311
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 2: She's a bad citizen. She's just ordering two bloody Mary's

312
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 2: at a time. This is just a scam to get

313
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 2: two bloody marries at a time of flights.

314
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: I support to her either way, Francesque, I enjoyed you

315
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: had a Twitter rant the other day about dating where

316
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: you're trying to teach men yes and oh.

317
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 5: Listen, if more dudes knew how to yes, and like

318
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 5: it's the easiest trick in the book. But every single time,

319
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 5: I mean, granted I'm not dating right now, but like

320
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 5: when I was going out on dates, I was just

321
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 5: having all of these times where anytime I would say something,

322
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 5: the conversation would just die, like the guy would not

323
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 5: the conversation would just.

324
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 6: Be over, and then this isn't about me.

325
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 5: What do I say to One time I went on

326
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 5: a date with this guy and the whole conversation was

327
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 5: just him the whole time. He was being like super

328
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 5: negative the whole time, and then towards the end of

329
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 5: the date, I was like, well, I have to go

00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 5: he never asked about me.

346
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 6: It's such a Yeah, that's horrible.

347
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that happens a lot.

348
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: I've heard it happen so much, and it seems just

349
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: so crazy to me because it does doesn't go by

350
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: the rules of what conversation is.

351
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 4: Yeah.

352
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 5: But I also learned after like going on a few dates,

353
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 5: and like, I didn't know this was a thing because

354
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 5: I am still recently single. I got divorced last year,

355
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 5: and so so much in dating has changed. Like I

356
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 5: was in my twenties the last time I was single,

357
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 5: But I learned about this thing called megging, which is

358
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 5: where you are supposed to like break down a girl's

359
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 5: confidence so that when you do give her a compliment,

360
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 5: she like gobbles it up because her self same is

361
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 5: so low now And a.

362
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 4: Number of guys would do this to me on dates.

363
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 5: It was so it's I never it makes no sense

364
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 5: to me, but someone taught them this. Like, uh, some

365
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 5: guy who's like a pickup artist or something.

366
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's he had a VH one show too. Yeah,

367
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 2: well there was a VH one show and.

368
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 3: This dude, the big Ye Mystery Mystery. He looked like Jamqui.

369
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 5: Okay, first of all, what we're not going to do

370
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 5: is soil name because I was a handsome looking.

371
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 3: Man, okay, and a great answer.

372
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 5: And that guy looked like an extra from like a

373
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 5: Tim Burton film or something.

374
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 4: He was so weird looking and not true he was.

375
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 2: And but I actually had the exact opposite on a

376
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 2: date where I a friend I was working with set

377
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 2: me up and I went to a bar in l A.

378
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 2: And we were just going to grab a drinker. It's

379
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,479
Speaker 2: like two strangers to the meeting. And she worked for

380
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: a beer company. She was like a beer sales rep.

381
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 2: And so I started asking just questions about her day.

382
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 2: And every time I asked any question, She's like h

383
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 2: And I'd be like, and so is it fun? Like

384
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 2: do you do you hate driving in LA and doing

385
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 2: all this stuff? She's like, I don't know, and she

386
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 2: just isn't like and I'm like, okay, So I have

387
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 2: a drink and then I like the bartender's like, do

388
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 2: you guys want another round? And she's like, well whatever,

389
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 2: and I was like, yea, I'll take one more. And

390
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 2: then she goes to the bathroom. And it was my friend,

391
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 2: one of my best friend's birthdays, and I was like,

392
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be coming to this one alone. I'll see

393
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 2: you in half an hour or whatever. And so it

394
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 2: goes on where I just asked her question. She never

395
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 2: asked me a single thing about myself. She wasn't like,

396
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 2: she wasn't even like enthusiastic about answering something like oh,

397
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 2: she just was doing this as a favor or something.

398
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 2: I didn't know the dynamic, and I had never been

399
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 2: on a date where somebody was so talk about yes

400
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 2: anding it was just somebody that was you would be like,

401
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 2: do you have any siblings and be like I have.

402
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 3: A brother and you're like, oh, are you guys close?

403
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 2: Do you hang out? Is he is his head on fire?

404
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 2: Like what is this man like? And she'd be like yeah,

405
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 2: it's fine. He's like yeah, he's fine, he's and you're like, okay.

406
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 2: So is the most boring date ever. And finally after

407
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 2: the second one, the bartender's like, you guys need another round.

408
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 3: I was like, actually, I think I need to go

409
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 3: to this birthday party and she's like what and I

410
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 3: was like, yeah, this has been nice, but I'm gonna go.

411
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 3: And she's like where are you going?

412
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh, it's my friend's birthday and

413
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,719
Speaker 2: I gotta go, and she's like oh. And then we

414
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 2: walk outside and in my head, I'm just going, don't

415
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 2: say we should do this again. Don't say we should

416
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 2: do this again. Don't because I just never wanted to

417
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 2: do it again. And we get to her car and

418
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 2: she's like, are you seriously going somewhere else? And I

419
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 2: was like yeah, yeah, and she's like, oh, I had

420
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 2: the best time and gives me a hug. Her arms

421
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 2: went straight out to the side like she went full

422
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 2: like Jesus Riodeshan Earo statue on me and just like

423
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 2: gives me this big hug and was like, we should

424
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 2: do this again, and I would like my brain clicked in.

425
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 2: I just go, God, what a nice night, and then

426
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 2: just walked away and never talk to that person again.

427
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 4: Oh it was awkward.

428
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 3: So I feel your pain, So you don't.

429
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 5: So in that type of situation, you would rather just

430
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 5: avoid telling her like you don't feel like it's a match.

431
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 4: You would just like you would just dip out.

432
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 2: I was so confused that she had had a good

433
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,959
Speaker 2: time that I was like trying to figure out if

434
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 2: I was maybe like not nagging, but I'm like, is

435
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 2: this some tactic where you act like somebody is drying

436
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 2: cement and then all of a sudden it's their sweet

437
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 2: sixteen Because it was the strangest flip on me ever,

438
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 2: and I was like.

439
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 3: Well, walk in your car.

440
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 2: But it was basically like, don't kiss her, don't say

441
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 2: we should do this again, Let's just roll. And then

442
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 2: it became like the next day at work, my friend

443
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 2: was like, how'd it go? And I'm like, I don't

444
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 2: think we should go out again. He's like, yeah, totally,

445
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 2: I get that.

446
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, thanks, that's so strange.

447
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 5: I can't imagine how she was interpreting. But also this

448
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 5: was the first time that you'd ever met her, so

449
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 5: maybe like Sah is kind.

450
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 4: Of like her super enthusiastic, you know what I mean.

451
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, her her like vocal inflections are backwards or something.

452
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 3: Yes. Yeah.

453
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: And then just normally when she's just kind of like

454
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: not interested in something, she just kind of like slumps

455
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: to the floor and all her bones go away and

456
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: then she like a gutter.

457
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 5: No, I'm to say her like normal reaction is just

458
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 5: like high pitched screaming, like she's like on a roller coaster.

459
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 6: So she was trying to trying to be cool.

460
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 4: Everything is like it's backwards for her.

461
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 2: She played it cool. She played it cool like a

462
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 2: like a corpse and a morgue. She played it super cool.

463
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: All right, let's we're gonna take a little break. But

00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: And of course, to just remind you, we have the

476
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: absolutely wonderful Francesca Ramsey talking with us. Okay, Francesca, how

477
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: was it writing that book?

478
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 4: Oh?

479
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 5: My goodness, A lot of crying, A lot. I mean,

480
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 5: writing is just hard. I mean, you guys know, but

481
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 5: especially when you're on a deadline and there's like this

482
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 5: thing looming over your head where like if you don't

483
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 5: I mean, if you don't get it done on time,

484
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 5: nothing's gonna happen to you. Lots of people miss their

485
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 5: book deadlines. But I was so stressed about making sure

486
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 5: I was on time and making sure it was good

487
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 5: enough and and thankfully, like I'm super proud of how

488
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 5: the book turned out, and I was putting unnecessary pressure

489
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 5: on myself.

490
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 4: But writing by yourself is just really really not fun.

491
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: The only person I know who does it well is Scottyland.

492
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, he has a machine, he can do it.

493
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: When I met Scottie, I met him two thousand, what five.

494
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 3: Sixteen years ago, to fourteen, four or five.

495
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, you were probably in your early twenties, three or twenty.

496
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,479
Speaker 1: When I met him, he was twenty four. He had

497
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 1: already written five screenplays, and we just continually write screenplays

498
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: that no one would ever read.

499
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,479
Speaker 5: And wow, see, yeah, I know that is a talent.

500
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 6: That's it's I don't have that.

501
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 4: Oh I hate it.

502
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 5: I like, I now work with a writing partner, and

503
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 5: she's so fantastic because it's just nice to like bounce

504
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 5: ideas off of somebody, similarly to like when you're in

505
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 5: a writer's room, Like I have a really bad gauge

506
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 5: of like if something is funny, if I don't have

507
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 5: somebody else there to like reflect it back to me.

508
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 4: So you, oh my god, you're a genius.

509
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 3: No, it's not that I write angry and I get

510
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 3: it done.

511
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 2: I just feel like I feel like nobody would ever

512
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 2: have paid attention to me at all, and I didn't,

513
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 2: like I didn't have any way in So I was like,

514
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 2: the only thing that I can control in this situation

515
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 2: is getting scripts done and getting better with each one.

516
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 2: And then I was like, eventually, maybe one of them

517
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 2: will be good enough that people will start to pay

518
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 2: attention or will hire me? And they did, and it

519
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 2: was Kurt and Christen early on, and it was a

520
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 2: group of really funny comedians named the Variety Shack and

521
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 2: they would slowly people started to be like, you should

522
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 2: write with us, But it was self preservation and it

523
00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 2: was is like a total lack of no other game plan.

524
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 3: I was like, this is the only thing I can

525
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 3: learn how to do, and in.

526
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 4: That situation would just do nothing.

527
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 5: Like a lot of people are like, well, I don't

528
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 5: have any opportunities and like no one's here for me,

529
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 5: so I'm just not going.

530
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 4: To do anything.

531
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 2: And I knew that part too. I knew that's why

532
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 2: I did it, because I knew that most people just

533
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,199
Speaker 2: talk about doing things and never do it. And that

534
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,479
Speaker 2: was like my one sort of come up was like

535
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 2: I was like, I know everybody else is just gonna

536
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 2: not try, and I'm going to be the one that

537
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 2: outworks them all.

538
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 3: And it worked, but but.

539
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: It worked and now he gets to hear about this, damn.

540
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 3: Fox, Tell me about this.

541
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 4: Fox.

542
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, it is.

543
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: A reward for all of his hard work. This is

544
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: from you, This is from Reuters. Fox is Berlin. A

545
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: Fox has been unmasked as the mystery thief of more

546
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 1: than one hundred shoes in the small western German town

547
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:57,719
Speaker 1: of Foreign.

548
00:26:58,920 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 6: It's f oe.

549
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 1: N if that's not foreign, I don't know or the authority,

550
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: said Friday. I like this idea of a fox being unmasked.

551
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: A forest worker stumbled upon the shoes strewn near the

552
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: foxes den and found a trove of footwear down the hole,

553
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 1: which had recently been stolen overnight from outside locals front doors.

554
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: First off, that must be a German thing, keeping your

555
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 1: shoes outside.

556
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 3: That's interesting.

557
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 6: That's definitely like a way to have a fox steal them.

558
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 3: I would think.

559
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: There was everything from ladies shoes to trainers set a

560
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 1: local police spokesman, we found between one hundred and ten

561
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: and one hundred and twenty so far. It seems a

562
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: vixen stole them for her cubs to play with. I

563
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: love the names of foxes, genders, genders, vixen, Oh, what's

564
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: a what's a male fox?

565
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,959
Speaker 6: I wonder? Vixen and cubs?

566
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 3: Steve, Steve.

567
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 1: This is We found one vixen and one Steve the

568
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: lone of their den. Although many were missing faces, the

569
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 1: shoes were in good condition and their owners were delighted

570
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: to reclaim them, he said, adding that no reprisals were

571
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 1: planned against the culprit. Creaky last sentence, Reuters trying to

572
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: have funny Yeah, my god.

573
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 4: Then we might have had like Fox but things hanging on.

574
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 6: The wall or something. No more shoes.

575
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 5: I'm disappointed that the Fox was just giving them to

576
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,959
Speaker 5: their kids or the cubs. I really wanted it to

577
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 5: end with like a link to the Fox's poshmark where

578
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 5: we could like buy the shoes, because I love I

579
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 5: love secondhand fashion, I really do.

580
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: And it's like a Fox who doesn't understand shoes. So

581
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: it's just like a baby's shoe match with like a loafer.

582
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 6: That's the pair that you could buy.

583
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 4: But they're like really well photographed. You're like, who took

584
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 4: these pictures? Yeah?

585
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 5: That Germans were leaving their shoes outside.

586
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 6: Either they do fast you do.

587
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 2: I went to Berlin, brag. I went to Berlin. But

588
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 2: when I came back, I have a German friend named

589
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 2: Flula Borg. Kurt you've worked with, Yeah, super funny guy

590
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 2: and a great actor. And I actually asked him about that.

591
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,719
Speaker 2: I was like, do you keep your shoes outside? And

592
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 2: he's like yes, He's like you wear your shoes outside.

593
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 2: And then I'm not making this there. I think they're

594
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 2: called house shoesha or something like that, and it's slippers,

595
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 2: the equivalent of slippers. So he said at his parents' house,

596
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 2: he's worn the same pair of house shoes or shoes

597
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 2: for like twenty five years. But basically, you wear your

598
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 2: outdoor shoes, you take them off outside. So that explains it.

599
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 2: So this fox was just prancing around stealing kids.

600
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 6: I love foxes. I get it.

601
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 5: I mean I get not wanting to track the outdoors

602
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 5: into your house.

603
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 4: But usually like right, like Germans.

604
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 5: Don't have a foyer, that's what the foyer is for

605
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 5: shoes there and then you come into the home.

606
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 4: You don't leave your shoes outside.

607
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, Germans build a shoe room.

608
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 5: Yeah what if what if it starts raining, it's raining,

609
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 5: and your little shoes are outside.

610
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: They have they have little houses. They have very efficient

611
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: German little houses for their shoes. You put the shoes

612
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: in this little like shoe house. I was once. I

613
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: was once in Brigantine, New Jersey, right in Atlantic City.

614
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: It was for a bachelor party. I was in my twenties.

615
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: I and I was like kind of like it was

616
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: a bachelor party. So we just had a house and

617
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: I was kind of high, a little drunk, and I

618
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: was like, I'm going swimming, and so just me and

619
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: one other gentleman walked from the house to the beach

620
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: and the beach is there. It's like a big dune

621
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: and then just like this big, you know, big sand,

622
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: and so I took my shoes off at like the

623
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: beginning of the sand and left my shoes there and

624
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: went swimming. Came back and as I was walking back,

625
00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: fucking Brigantine has beach foxes. And on the place that

626
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: has beach foxes, this fucking fox just runs in grabs

627
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: my one.

628
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 6: Shoe and takes off with it.

629
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: And I was like, and there are brand new shoes,

630
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: and I was like what the fuck? And I just

631
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: started running after it, and I saw him run and

632
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: then he like stopped and turned back at me, and

633
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: I was so mad, and I was also a little drunk,

634
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: and that I picked up the other shoe and I

635
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: just threw the other shoe at him and he just

636
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: dodged and then picked up both shoes in his mouth

637
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: ran into the dudes with it was like.

638
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 4: What is it with foxes? And shoes.

639
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 6: My theory is my theory.

640
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: What I had read at the time is that it's

641
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: the salt from your fingertips on the laces that they like.

642
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 6: But I don't know if it's true or not. It's

643
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 6: like a little salt, like they just lick them and

644
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 6: then leave them. They don't really lick them and.

645
00:31:53,960 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 4: Leave them that so we do. Then you leave cool.

646
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 2: Wait wait, Katie, Katie, you got that right? Send that

647
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 2: to Khan. I think we got the hit of twenty

648
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 2: twenty one. Lick him and leave them could be good.

649
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, my god, that's shirts listening.

650
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 4: You know I'm single, So lick them and leave them.

651
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 4: It's it's a it's a whole strategy.

652
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 5: It's gonna be someone give me a reality show where

653
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 5: I can wear a big hat and teach ladies how

654
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 5: to lick them and leave them.

655
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm in Yeah, I would watch that. Wear a mask.

656
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,479
Speaker 2: It is weird, like shoe stuff is strange, and people

657
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 2: like humans have weird stuff. We were doing the show

658
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 2: once where it was like it was a prank show

659
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 2: and you get down to the last thing and like

660
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 2: you had to do like ten steps to get a

661
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 2: thousand bucks, and we were in a shoe store in Manhattan,

662
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 2: and the contestant was on like step ten basically, and

663
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 2: it was like for your final thing and five and

664
00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 2: he had been doing the most maniacal like He was

665
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 2: just walking as if he was like asleep, and walking

666
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 2: into entire rows of shoes and knocking shoes down. He

667
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 2: was walking up to customers and in high heels and

668
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 2: being like, do you think my husband would want these?

669
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 2: And the people would be like, excuse me. He was

670
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 2: doing anything we were asking him to do, and finally

671
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 2: we were like, okay, for five hundred dollars, put two

672
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 2: pairs of display ugs on your feet, and put two

673
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,959
Speaker 2: pairs of display ugs on your hands, and just gallop

674
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 2: three laps around the shoe store.

675
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: I remember, I remember writing ideas for this one.

676
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 2: And the guy, the guy into his microphone. He was

677
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 2: wearing a hidden microphone, just goes no. And we were like,

678
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 2: just put ugs on your hands and ugs on your

679
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 2: feet and get on all fours and gallop three laps

680
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 2: for five hundred dollars and thirty seconds or something like that.

681
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 2: And he was like, absolutely not, and then just quit

682
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 2: and walked away and got I don't think he got

683
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 2: any of the money. I think it was like, either

684
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,959
Speaker 2: get a thousand or nothing. And he wouldn't put ug

685
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 2: display ugs on his feet and jog around.

686
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 3: Like a horse.

687
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 5: Did he ever say did he have some sort of

688
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 5: like moral objection to uggs?

689
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 7: I don't know what it was because he had put

690
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 7: on so many other shoes like we were. You know,

691
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 7: it was like for twenty five dollars, put any display

692
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 7: shoe on your head and just sit there and if

693
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 7: somebody comes over and asks if you need anything, just

694
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 7: say no, I'm fine.

695
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 3: I'm thinking about so like it was just silly the

696
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 3: whole way through.

697
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 2: But something about wearing boots on his hands, he was like,

698
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 2: not not happening.

699
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,760
Speaker 6: I liked that that man had a line.

700
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: I appreciate a line, even if it's the weirdest fucking line.

701
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 5: I will not culturally appropriate sorority girls and their footwear.

702
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 4: I absolutely I have.

703
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 5: I have a lot of respect for Delta Nata and

704
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 5: their ugs.

705
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 4: And it's not happening. Not doing it today?

706
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 3: Nope.

707
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 6: Oh man, it's got to give me another one.

708
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 2: This one comes from Hannah Fishburg of New York Post.

709
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 3: We love Hannah.

710
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 2: Putting potatoes up your butt won't cure your hemorrhoids. Doctors say, so,

711
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 2: this is a real story in a real newspaper. Guys,

712
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 2: potatoes only belong in one human whole.

713
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 3: Doctors are the side. Oh the post knows how to

714
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 3: really in.

715
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 2: Doctors are starting to get very concerned about people who

716
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 2: subscribe to a dangerous home remedy touted on numerous websites

717
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 2: involving inserting a potato into the rectum. Credible medical professionals

718
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 2: are emphasizing this will not, in fact help with hemorrhoids,

719
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 2: also known as piles. Didn't know that grosser name? How

720
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 2: do you make a grosser name than hemorrhoids?

721
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 6: By the way, that's amazing.

722
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: Also, are they suggesting we whittle these potatoes down a

723
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: little bit.

724
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 6: Before shoving them wholeheartedly? Yeah, like little fries, that makes sense.

725
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: Maybe like a butt plug shape that would be fine

726
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,760
Speaker 1: as well, But just a potato is around it seems

727
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: tough to find an entrance point just force wise.

728
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 2: You ain't lying, Kurt quote. There's no medical evidence, and

729
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 2: I do feel like our banannimals need to hear this.

730
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 2: There is no medical evidence that putting frozen potatoes inside

731
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 2: the anus can help cure hemorrhoids. So I would urge

732
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 2: caution to anyone thinking of doing it, says doctor Diana

733
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,959
Speaker 2: gall Ummm, just go.

734
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 5: To the store and buy henroid cream like this is

735
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 5: this is not something that we don't have a fix for.

736
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 2: Yes, we also for it. Yeah, we got many fixes

737
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 2: for it. But people love, they love to make stuff up,

738
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:49,760
Speaker 2: they love home remedies. People are super into it. Also,

739
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 2: here's a quote from a doctor. Hemorrhoids often go away

740
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 2: on their own after a few days, but there are

741
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 2: some tried and trusted ways to keep them at bay.

742
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 2: Like you guys are saying during plenty of fluids, maintain

743
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 2: a fireber rich diet. Ooh, who doesn't love a fiber

744
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 2: rich diet, and have regular warm baths to ease pain.

745
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 3: So this is.

746
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 2: Where it comes from. I mean, there were a lot

747
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 2: of websites that kind of did a little digging. The

748
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 2: advice stems from the fact that potatoes having a stringent property,

749
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 2: which in theory could serve to constrict bodily tissue, but

750
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 2: in the case of hemorrhoids, is uneffective. Strange as it sounds,

751
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,439
Speaker 2: a grated potato isn't a stringent and soothing one side

752
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 2: advises another advice is insert the frozen potato slice.

753
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 3: There you go, Kurt slice slice.

754
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 2: We're talking rans frized baby uh into.

755
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 5: I was thinking more of like hash browns, like booty browns.

756
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 6: Just like.

757
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 4: You know what I mean.

758
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 6: I feel it, shread it up and stuff it up.

759
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 3: I'm glistening.

760
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 2: Insert the frozen potato slight in uranus and leave it

761
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 2: inside for thirty seconds. Also, that's not that long, Like

762
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 2: what would that? Just use an ice cube at this point,

763
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 2: what's happening? Yeah, why a potato? Eat the potato. It's

764
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:11,720
Speaker 2: a quarantine. Repeat the process for three to five days.

765
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 2: The next three to five days, leave the slice inside

766
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 2: for thirty seconds more each time.

767
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 3: So think about what's happening.

768
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 2: Somebody is making something up and adding to it. They're

769
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 2: making They're not onlyar they're saying like, yeah, stick a

770
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,919
Speaker 2: frozen potato up your butt. They're like, all right, there's

771
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 2: a battle plan here, and you have to do it.

772
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 2: The ice cold potato constricts the blood vessels, reducing the

773
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 2: swelling and relieves your pain instantly.

774
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 3: This is not true. This isn't the first time doctors.

775
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 2: Have needed to beg people not to insert food into

776
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:47,760
Speaker 2: a non mouth oor afice.

777
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 3: Great sentence, Hannah. Over the summer, some British women needed

778
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 3: a reminder that inserting ice pops into the vagina does

779
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 3: not help you off debatable.

780
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 4: See that one sounds like it could work.

781
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 6: It does sound like it could work.

782
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 4: That one sounds realistic.

783
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: There's a lot of blood vessels, right, it would cool

784
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: the blood off, then the blood would travel to the

785
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: rest of the body, cooling it off.

786
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 6: That seems to make sense.

787
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: Also doesn't seem as dangerous or difficult to do.

788
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 6: It's all potato.

789
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 5: It's also something in my lick them and leave them course,

790
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 5: And I feel like this article suddenly saying that it's

791
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 5: not credible. I think I'm gonna have to get in

792
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,240
Speaker 5: touch with this, Hannah Lady.

793
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the technique.

794
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 6: Lick them and leave them.

795
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 1: Conference at the Ramada in on route thirty five.

796
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 4: We're doing We're doing it on zoom. We're doing on

797
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 4: zoom now.

798
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 6: Okay, it's still happening. Still two hundred and fifty dollars

799
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 6: a ticket.

800
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 3: Yes, it's the step, it's the process.

801
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 2: That's the thing that fascinates me the most about these

802
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 2: kind of things, and not only just thirty seconds thirty seconds.

803
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 3: But you know, like Kurt and I.

804
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 2: Do a lot of stories about animals, and like a

805
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 2: lot of thick crows use tools. Different animals figure things out,

806
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 2: things drop things from afar, people a dog's fake injuries

807
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 2: to get free food and care.

808
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 3: But like this.

809
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 2: Person had hemorrhoids. Was looking around there, I'm guessing home,

810
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 2: saw potato, saw their freezer, saw a knife on a

811
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 2: cutting board, and you can just see like the Homer

812
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 2: Simpson gears in their heads spinning and it's like doing

813
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 2: the math and the beautiful Mind moment.

814
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 3: And then it was.

815
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 2: Like I'm a stick that frozen potatop my ass and

816
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 2: maybe they went away on their own. And then this

817
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 2: person strangely has access to the Internet, where probably thousands

818
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 2: of people started doing this.

819
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: I think it's more like a guy was sticking a

820
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: potato up his ass and was like, I love this.

821
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: I wish I could get a lot of people to

822
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: do this, because it would be cool if I could

823
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: imagine other people doing it while I do.

824
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 6: And then he wrote a story to get people to.

825
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 5: That sounds very credible that he his kink is knowing

826
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 5: that other people and it's not and it's not like

827
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 5: it's not just the.

828
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 4: Putting the potato in the butt that gets him off.

829
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 5: It's the thought of someone being like at their wits

830
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:20,280
Speaker 5: end and being like, what.

831
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 4: Can I do to solve these hemorrhoids?

832
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 6: And I'll try anything.

833
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 5: Try anything, and like that's when he's just like, yes,

834
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 5: this is this is where my like SEO on this

835
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 5: bad block is really going to come in handy because

836
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 5: they are going to be searching and I'm going to

837
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 5: be like the number two Google result and then like,

838
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 5: I think that there's some like weird freak who's into this.

839
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, I think you're right. I think you're right.

840
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 6: I think you're looking at one now. I'm trying it right.

841
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 6: When we get off.

846
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 6: Just loving it, you know, Scotty.

847
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's unfair that you say

848
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: that we do a lot of stories about animals, but

849
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:13,800

Speaker 1: for bad barroom behavior After learning how to climb the stairs.

864
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 1: Kevin's exploits of rummaging through bins, stealing food and car keys,

865
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: not to mention his poor toileting manners, have become too

866
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: much for the hotel, which has posted about their emu

867
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: war on Facebook. The pub has had to ramp up

868
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: security courtesy of a rope across the entrance to keep

869
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:31,759

873
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,080

00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 1: the front door states, please let yourself in through the

875
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:52,040

877
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: this week.

878
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:55,280
Speaker 3: Quote.

879
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: I thought the Iraqa locals were having me on with

880
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: this sign, but Kevin apparently has attitude when he gets

881
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: to the car, mister little Proud wrote on social media.

882
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: Pop owner Gary Gimblet said Kevin and Carroll are the

883
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 1: last two EMUs from a flock of nine. They are beautiful,

884
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: very friendly, a bit too friendly, if anything, they make

885
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 1: a bit of a mess. That is the Australian Associated Press.

886
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 6: Hot damn. I love that.

887
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,720
Speaker 1: That's a town of twenty people. That's like Kaskaskia Scotti.

888
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 1: That that's the tiniest little town in the outback.

889
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 4: I have to just have to put this out there.

890
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 4: I hate animals have people names. I think it's I

891
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 4: think it's immoral.

892
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:42,280
Speaker 5: I think it's presumptuous, like you're a fucking bird.

893
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 4: You're a bird, you're not a human.

894
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 5: Get it like a cool trendy name. Like a you know,

895
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 5: a cartoon character or a food.

896
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 4: Item, you know what I mean.

897
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 5: But to suddenly think that we're gonna call you Kevin

898
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 5: and Carol, like the bar behavior is egregious.

899
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 4: I'll agree, but like the name thing is just like

900
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 4: a bridge too far.

901
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would love, but see, I would prefer the

902
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 2: muzer allowed in there.

903
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 3: Dis srik havoc.

904
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 2: If you're gonna, like, if you're gonna have animals in

905
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 2: a bar. In Japan they have tons of penguin bars.

906
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 2: There was a bar in the Caribbean that had a

907
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 2: penguin that was like exchange. Actually, I got to put

908
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 2: this out to our listeners. There is a gas station

909
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 2: somewhere in the US that has an Emperor penguin in it.

910
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 2: And I think it's in like Wyoming, a real one.

911
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 2: Stuff now, because it was somebody traveled back from Antarctica

912
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 2: and then tried to exchange the penguin as a gift.

913
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 6: I will tell you the story, Scott.

914
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 3: He was me, do you know this?

915
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 6: I know, okay, maybe even it's little America.

916
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 1: It's a hotel, oh little America, American Cheyenne, Wyoming. And

917
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 1: the guy he was a he was an Antarctic explorer,

918
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:03,840
Speaker 1: and you got two Emperor penguins back as gifts.

919
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 6: For someone who owned the hotel.

920
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 1: Both of them died and transit obviously because it was

921
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: like eighteen ninety two and they didn't know what the

922
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,359
Speaker 1: fuck they were doing, and so then instead he had

923
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 1: them stuffed, and then he presented one of the Emperor

924
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 1: penguins to this guy. And there's Little America is a

925
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,320
Speaker 1: chain of hotels. If you ever drive across the country,

926
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:21,720
Speaker 1: go and stay there.

927
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 6: They're super cheap.

928
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 1: It's like seventy five dollars a night and the rooms

929
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: are like palatial, and they're all in the middle fucking nowhere. Yes,

930
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 1: but yeah, it is in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and uh and

931
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,320
Speaker 1: it's like right when you walk in, there's this Emperor

Speaker 1: it it is.

934
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 5: And what is the penguin's name? Because I need to

935
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 5: know if I like the penguin or not.

936
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 6: You know, I'm gonna I'm gonna say its name was carrots.

Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm happy that I could that I had that

942
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:01,440

Speaker 2: Ever go to the zoo and see birds walking around

947
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 2: or in the airport and you see birds flying in

948
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 2: the airport and you're like, you pour some a bitch.

949
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 3: Nobody cares about you at all.

950
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 2: You are left out, McCole, get away.

951
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:25,480

Speaker 3: I'm going to give us an uplifting one, I think.

Speaker 2: sending this in. One hundred and three year old man.

959
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 2: Oh this was from this week. One hundred and three

960
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:52,320
Speaker 2: year old man breaks Guinness record for world's oldest tandem skydive.

961
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:57,360
Speaker 2: This was written by Kathleen Hendry and Anthony Reeves. I

962
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 2: will have to find out what newspaper, but al Blashki

963
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 2: went skydiving for the first time in twenty seventeen on

964
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 2: his one hundredth birthday. He has survived the coronavirus, the

965
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 2: Great Depression, and the Spanish Flu. Now, at one hundred

966
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 2: and three years old, he has become the oldest person

967
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 2: in the world to do a tandem jump out of

968
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 2: an airplane.

969
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 3: Quote.

970
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 2: Oh, ABC News, I never thought I would be around

971
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,800
Speaker 2: this long, he told ABC News.

972
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 6: And I'm looking for ways to get out.

973
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:32,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm looking for fun, adrenaline fueled ways to end

974
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 1: this existence.

975
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:37,280
Speaker 3: That is so funny.

976
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 2: Blaski made his Guinness World Record breaking fourteen thousand foot

977
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 2: jump on Thursday. His grandsons, who recently graduated from college,

978
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 2: joined him in taking the leap. That is awesome.

979
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,280
Speaker 6: It's so great, Kurt.

980
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 2: I look forward to you jumping out of a plane

981
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 2: in one hundred years or whatever, seventy years, sixty years

982
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 2: in a with your two children and your grandchildren.

983
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:09,359
Speaker 1: I have. It's strange both of us have not, because

984
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: I would in a second, I would do it again.

985
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 6: You also have written.

986
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: Both of us have written multiple ideas for TV shows

987
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: that we almost got produced. We had one where it

988
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 1: was going to be like we skydive with an alligator.

989
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:24,839
Speaker 1: Another one was where skydive and try and change the

990
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 1: diapers on baby dolls, and so many baby dolls diapers

991
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:29,839
Speaker 1: we could change while sky down.

992
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 3: Yes.

993
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:31,479
Speaker 6: It was really weird.

994
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they were like baby.

995
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:35,839
Speaker 2: They were like, dolls will fall like missiles and they

996
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:37,240
Speaker 2: will break your nose and hands.

997
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 3: And we were like, oh okay, we tried to go.

998
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 5: Out the alligator dropping and killing someone.

999
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was It was nixed pretty early on in

1000
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 1: the idea process.

1001
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 2: But I was supposed to go in Hawaii about three

1002
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 2: years ago, is working on a show out there, and

1003
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:57,799
Speaker 2: we went Snooba diving in the morning, which is like

1004
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 2: it's like a boogie board. Yeah, so basically instead of

1005
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 2: scuba diving, it's you get the breather and the mask

1006
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 2: and then you have a long tube that goes up

1007
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 2: to your tank is on a floating sort of little

1008
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 2: boat thing above you. So you don't have to carry

1009
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:13,439
Speaker 2: anything and you don't have to get certified and it's fun.

1010
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 2: You go like, I don't know, twenty five feet down

1011
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 2: or whatever' school. But then I got out and then

1012
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 2: they were like, guys, the weather's good today, we're going

1013
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 2: sky diving. And they were like, did anybody here go

1014
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:24,319
Speaker 2: scuba diving today? And I was like, I want Snooba

1015
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 2: diving and they're like you can't go. They're like, you'll

1016
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 2: get the bend, like you can't go underwater and then

1017
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 2: in the air in the same day. I guess legally,

1018
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:35,240
Speaker 2: so my one chance to jump out of a plane

1019
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:35,760
Speaker 2: was thwarted.

1020
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:37,800
Speaker 3: But I'll do it. Wow, I'll do it.

1021
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 6: Would you ever do it?

1022
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 5: No?

1023
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.

1024
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 5: I am truly so risk averse, like I want to

1025
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:47,360
Speaker 5: keep both feet on the ground.

1026
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 4: I need to protect the money maker. I'm just like so, I'm.

1027
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 5: I like, that's why I'm always early, Like I never

1028
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 5: break rules, like I'm such a good girl. I'm just

1029
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 5: afraid of the one time I would do something that

1030
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,839
Speaker 5: I would die. Like I just know, I know the

1031
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 5: one time that I would do skydiving, something would be

1032
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 5: wrong with the parachute or whatever it is, and I

1033
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 5: just I don't know it, Like it gives me anxiety

1034
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:15,399
Speaker 5: thinking about it.

1035
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: You know, I never thought about that in the I

1036
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:22,240
Speaker 1: just had like a flash now in that I don't

1037
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 1: think I would skydive now until like my kids graduated

1038
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 1: high school. Yeah, yeah, I would just want them to

1039
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 1: be out of the house in case I died.

1040
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just think it's it's I can't imagine that

1041
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 5: the adrenaline from jumping out of a plane would outweigh

1042
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:43,360
Speaker 5: my fear of deting.

1043
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:45,759
Speaker 4: Like I just think I would be so scared the

1044
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 4: entire time.

1045
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm.

1046
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1047
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 2: Well, if you ever do it, Kurt and I will

1048
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 2: come and we will hold an air mattress. We'll get

1049
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:56,840
Speaker 2: an air and we'll wait on the we'll dress like

1050
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 2: Bozo's on the ground and we'll hold an air mattress

1051
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 2: and just in case something or trampoline. Let me just

1052
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 2: finish this up because there's one funny sentence in this.

1053
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:09,800
Speaker 2: Al Blashke is a retired craftsman who built aircraft parts

1054
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 2: during during World War II.

1055
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 6: Oh my god, Yeah, he's the best.

1056
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 2: So he's after the jump he said, quote it was

1057
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 2: too short, which I love. And then he said, but

1058
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:28,400
Speaker 2: I saw more than I thought I would with my eyes,

1059
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 2: So he I think he's going again at one hundred

1060
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 2: and five.

1061
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 3: Keep breaking your own record out. I'm all for this.
