23
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 3: That's very nice. I know some people that still do

24
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 3: Festivus from the Seinfeld era, and just you gotta look

25
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 3: forward to things in this world. So if you're If

26
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 3: you're not a religious person, that's totally fine. If you don't,

27
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 3: if you don't celebrate any of the Big three or four,

28
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 3: that's fine. I think New Year's Eve's done. But you

29
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 3: know what, every year, march out there and I do something,

00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,520

Speaker 1: Scotty and I, Scott and I are are looking forward

00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,800

00:01:58,560 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: We are going to move so on for it.

36
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: In case you don't know that Los Angeles Institution, it's

37
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 1: like it's been around since like what nineteen oh five

38
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: or something.

39
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 3: I think it's the oldest continually continuously operating restaurant in Hollywood,

40
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 3: famous for having a booth that after rock and roll shows,

41
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 3: Led Zeppelin or the Rolling Stones would sit in and

42
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 3: drink and beat debaucherous all night. And I hope we

43
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 3: get that booth tonight.

44
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: Oh, I hope so.

45
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: And it's like at the the main dining room is

46
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: a giant bar on one side, and then where they

47
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: fire the stakes is right in front of that bar.

48
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 2: So it's not like an alcohol bar.

49
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 1: It is literally watch meat get fried with fire, and

50
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: the ceilings are probably like, I don't know, thirty legitimately.

51
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: Thirty forty feet Yeah, yeah, yeah.

52
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: It's really a very And then you're in these like cozy,

53
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: little cozy, little booth circular booths.

Speaker 3: They also have and I appreciate this though I rarely,

56
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 3: if ever did it, but tonight might be the night.

57
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 3: They have menu items from the fifties like sand dabs

58
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 3: or lobster thermidore or baked Alaska, things that you're like

59
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 3: your grandparents really looked forward to when you see those

60
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 3: old menus and it was like, it's a nickel for

61

66
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 3: and spinach and diced onion or whatever shallots.

67
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:34,880

70
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 3: plus mm hmm.

00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: So today we have some confessions. Got it posted? What

72
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: was the post today?

73
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 2: There were two.

74
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 3: It was either I am a bad friend, so confessions

75
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 3: about when you were a bad friend. I know that's

76
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 3: a pretty fun one, or only me and God know

77
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 3: about it.

78
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: Man, I was just thinking about this two day. This

79
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: isn't even a funny story. I almost want to just

80
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: I want to express how bad I feel. I've been

81
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: a bad friend so many times, but this is one

82
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: of a hundred times I've been a bad fred okay

83
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: to Chris haws Out, Okay. He his brother had given

84
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: I was just such a bratty little like fifteen year

85
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: old or something. His brother had given him a black

86
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: flag record.

87
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: Sure, beautiful, what a beautiful gift.

88
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: And I snapped it in half, like just not thinking about,

89
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: like not even thinking about like whatever it was. I

90
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: just snapped it in half like I was doing a

91
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: bit or something. I can't even remember why I did it,

92
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: but I snapped his black black Flag record in half.

93
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: And I just want to apologize. I feel bad about that.

94
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: I should text Chris, not because he doesn't listen to this.

95
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: As he should.

96
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 3: I lived with him for four years, still a great friend.

97
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 3: You were friends from middle school, high school on so

98
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 3: no reason he's heard all these stories and experienced many

99
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 3: of them in real time. He was definitely there for

100
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: the Wild's age. But I would take a step further

101
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 3: if I was you, I would send him that record.

102
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 3: Find that record, mail it too for Christmas.

103
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: And yeah, that's a great idea, and just say.

104
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 3: Sorry, I broke this in nineteen ninety three. Still love you.

105
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: Sorry. He's probably got a vinyl record player. Oh I

106
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: think he sure does.

107
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, so it's I am a bad friend

108
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 3: or only me and God know about it. Do you

109
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 3: have any I have many?

110
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 2: Go for it, Scottie. Here, I think you'll like this one.

111
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: And this is an outdoors he want.

112
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 3: In college, I went on a road trip with a

113
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 3: friend to Carlsbad Caverns. The plan was for us to

114
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 3: sleep in the back of my Ford Focus wagon, but

115
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 3: when we got ready to sleep at a truck stop

116
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 3: and pulled out our sleeping bags, we realized that the

117
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 3: car wasn't big enough for the both of us. I mean,

118
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 3: that is not surprising to me.

119
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: It's a Ford Focus.

120
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: Yes.

121
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 3: Isn't it funny that Ford named a car the Fiesta.

122
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 3: The Ford Fiesta is my favorite car name of all time.

123
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: And Joe Garden had a Ford fiesta, an old Ford fiesta.

124
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: That was actually the photo used in the Onion for

125
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: that like that drifter that got that drifter guy who

126
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: us for me, who like always wrote a column and

127
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: it was it was Joe's Ford Fiesta and he it

128
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: was like a communal car. It was I think from

129
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: the eighties. Yeah, and multiple people had keys. He would

130
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,239
Speaker 1: just give me the keys and be like, it's parked

131
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: under the Williamsburg Bridge, like in this corner, and then

132
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: I would just go out there, use the car, park

133
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: it somewhere else and then just give him the keys

134
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: back and be like, it's now parked in park Slope

135
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: on Fourth Avenue between twenty first and twenty second.

136
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: What a great idea.

137
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, wow, I didn't know that, And that makes me

138
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 3: want to do that in Los Angeles. That is so funny.

139
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 3: Just get an old sort of beater, a little compact

140
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 3: two door car that and like I should just buy

141
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 3: a smart car, a two thousand and five smart car

142
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 3: and just be like, I made thirty copies of the keys. Guys,

143
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 3: if you're near it, it's yours. That is so funny.

144
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 2: I didn't know funny.

145
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 3: You know Edmund Hawkins, who designed our beer label for

146
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 3: twin Elephant for best in the beersness. He once wrote

147
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 3: to me. He texted me and he was like, do

148
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 3: you want a sailboat? And I was like sure, He's like, so,

149
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 3: I guess in the Williamsburg Near Williamsburg, Brooklyn, there's like

150
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 3: a canal and people that run out of money, you

151
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 3: have boats, and then in the winter on the East

152
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 3: coast you have to like dock your boat, you have

153
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 3: to like pull it out of and that costs a

154
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 3: lot of money and store your boat. So a lot

155
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 3: of people ditch their sailboats in this canal or river

156
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 3: in Brooklyn, so they're literally abandoned. And after a certain

157
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 3: amount of time, the NYPD or whoever's in charge of

158
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 3: that just has to get rid of these boats and

159
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 3: they're free or they're like one hundred dollars. And I

160
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 3: was so tempted for so long to try to find

161
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 3: a boat, slip around Manhattan and just go buy some

162
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 3: used nineteen foot sail boat and live the dream.

163
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 2: But it's been a.

164
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: Oh I remember there was a there were two boats

165
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: in fact that like that crew, that Madagascar crew that

166
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: used to do like all the the the bike kills,

167
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: and like they would just build robots and stuff like that.

168
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 2: That like shot fire.

169
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: Yes, s Chris Hackett ran it, and some people who

170
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: were around that did that, got two boats in the

171
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: Guanas Canal and then were able to moor them in

172
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: the Guanas Canal because someone owned property that was right

173
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: on the canal. Yeah, and then they would throw parties

174
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: on those boats and they it was wild.

175
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 2: It was wild.

176
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: They were like kind of big boats and just like

177
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: they were tied together and you could like walk a

178
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: plank in between them. It was like dangerous and weird

179
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: and there's like like trance music and it was fucking crazy.

180
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: And I remember talking to somebody like meeting them at

181
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: a party later, and I was like, that is so

182
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: cool and you can and this always happens with people

183
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: who have boats. He was just so worn down by

184
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: the simple ownership of a boat. He's just like, yeah, man,

185
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: but we don't know what to do with it, like

186
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: we you have to have a place to put the boat,

187
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: and it's like we're losing this slip and now what

188
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: do we do. I don't have five thousand dollars a

189
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: month to more it off of. It's a piece of

190
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: shit boat, you know.

191
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly. I think that was the whole thing. It

192
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 2: still is.

193
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 3: It's still interesting to me because like boats are hilarious.

194
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 3: My friend Melissa got one, and there is something so

195
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 3: oh god, I don't even know the word, but like

196
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 3: it's like archaic or whatever. It's like early man. It's

197
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 3: like they man set sail on the sea and then

198
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 3: they went out to search for other lands. And then

199
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 3: you're like, you could just buy one of those things

200
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 3: and you and I can get on a boat and

201
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 3: just try to make it to Europe and dies.

202
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: I know it is said though it's so great.

203
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: There's actually a really great I think it's this American

204
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: life about a kid who he's like a Russian kid

205
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 1: eighteen or so, and he got stranded on one of

206
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: the islands in Jamaica Bay and like, oh, yeah, islands

207
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: in Jamaica Bay are you know, you can literally see

208
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: the city and everything, but you're completely isolated.

209
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 2: There's no buildings on it.

210
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: They're just tiny little like spits of land with like woods,

211
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,599
Speaker 1: and it's a great it's a really great story to

212
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: hear him tell her.

213
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 3: Oh, I got to check that out. Also, tons of

214
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 3: sharks there. Now I've just read a thing about shark

215
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 3: fish or fishermen there being like whatever changed, whatever they're protecting.

216
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,840

217
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 3: we love them. We love fish on this podcast anyways.

218
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 2: Okay, so this guy, it's an invasive species.

219
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 3: This all started because Ford Fiesta is my favorite name

220
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 3: for a car. Ever, so they were in a Ford

221
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 3: Foe Focus wagon. They got out to sleep at a

222
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 3: truck stop, pulled out their sleeping bags, and realized that

223
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 3: my car wasn't big enough for both of us to

224
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 3: sleep in. My friend offered to sleep out on the

225
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 3: gravel at the truck stop in his sleeping bag, and

226
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 3: I happily obliged. I can't fully remember if someone walked

227
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 3: up to him in the middle of the night wondering

228
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 3: what the hell he was doing, but he did survive.

229
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 3: Either way, I, for one slept Great, Well you're absolved.

230
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: I love it that there wasn't, because I'm sure the

231
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: guy who offered to sleep on the ground with no

232
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: sleeping pad was hoping, well, maybe we'll I'll offer, and

233
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: then you know, and we'll do a shift, you know,

234
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: four hours outside then four hours inside, you know, And

235
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: the guy's like, great, sounds.

236
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 2: Good, see you later. Yeah, lock the doors, go to sleep.

237
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 2: I it is.

238
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 3: That's early twenties and teenage years road tripping when you're

239
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 3: just like, well, just sleep in the car, man, I'll

240
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 3: just sleep in the car. And then you reach like

241
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 3: thirty and you're like no, You're like, we're not even

242
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 3: staying in a crappy hotel. We're going to drive until

243
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 3: we get to a nice hotel.

244
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: I remember we were when I was driving cross country.

245
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: I was twenty two years old with my buddy Hank

246
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: and my buddy Roue. Okay, uh, I guess we left Louisville, Kentucky.

247
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: We were staying at our friend Calvin's house. Left Louisville, Kentucky,

248
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: and drove straight. I think it was our second night.

249
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: Maybe we're in Galveston, Texas. For some reason, we decided

250
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: like the roots we were taking were just lunacy, like

251
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: no one had anything to do in Galveston. It was

252
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: just like, let's go see Galveston. I don't know why.

253
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: And then we found just like some stupid roadside paved

254
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 1: to camp campground. It was just like a little piece

255
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: of shit like ye, nothing, piece of grass like nothing.

256
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: It was away campground. Oh, yeah, and we you know,

257
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 1: we were pretty drunk and then and we were just like,

258
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: let's in this Galveston, Texas. We're like, let's sleep outside.

259
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: Screw the we don't need a tent tonight. It's a

260
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: beautiful night.

261
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 2: This is insane. It was. It was so buggy, it was.

262
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: It was we woke up just covered in mosquito bikes.

263
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 2: Oh so bad.

264
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: Like Hank during the eat during the night had gotten

265
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: the he'd gotten the tent out, but was just drunk

266
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: enough that they couldn't put be bothered to put it up.

267
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: So just wrapped the tent, deflated tent around himself and

268
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: tried to get away from.

269
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 2: The bucks that way. Smart as an innovator that we'd

270
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 2: never camped toget after.

271
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 3: That, Yeah, I could see that. I in when I

272
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 3: was at Camp poot Talk, the infamous Camp poot Talk

273
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 3: two summers Poo Talk, Poo Talk, puh apostrophe t Oka

274
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 3: sounds good. We they had like excursions and so you

275
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 3: could leave the main campground with a couple of counselors

276
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 3: or whatever and you could go places of go camping.

277
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 3: So we went to Harper's Ferry, which is very close

278
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 3: and so we drive out. Actually it's not very close to,

279
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 3: about an hour and a half or two hours away.

280
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 3: So we go and it's a big click of us and.

281
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 2: You're howled at this point ten or eleven. Oh okay.

282
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 3: And the people that took us were like, not our

283
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 3: main camp counselor guys. They were people that did the excursions.

284
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 3: And for whatever reason, these people did not realize that

285
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 3: the twelve to fifteen young kids eight to twelve year

286
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 3: olds that they took need to eat three meals a day.

287
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 3: They need to have food.

288
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

289
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 3: So the first night we get there, we set up tents.

290
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 3: It's beautiful night near I think we were probably in

291
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 3: West Virginia, and we set up a fire and he

292
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 3: makes drop biscuits, you know, like you just make the

293
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 3: dough and you drop them into a hot oily pan

294
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 3: and they're delicious. You put honey on them, they're great.

295
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 3: So we all set up our tents and all divide

296
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 3: up by boys and girls or whatever. And in the morning,

297
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 3: no breakfast is so we go into Harper's Ferry. What

298
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 3: I know, we just go into Harper's Ferry, which is

299
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 3: sort of an American For those that don't know, it's

300
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 3: sort of a historic town during the Revolutionary War.

301
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 2: It was a very important town. And so we're walking around.

302
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 3: There's people dressed up like old American colonialists and there's

303
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 3: like I'm the old blacksmith and it's like I churned

304
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 3: the butter and.

305
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 2: We're all hungry and we don't have money because we're children. Yeah,

306
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 2: and you're having like meltdowns.

307
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: There's just meltdowns are happening left and right, and no

308
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: one understands why.

309
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 3: Yes, we're and everybody's angry. And it's very hilly, it's cobblestony.

310
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 3: It's like hot, and we're like here we go. So

311
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 3: there was a group of female friends or five girls,

312
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 3: and they had all grown up together and they're really sweet.

313
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 3: They were awesome, and they started singing a cappella on

314
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 3: the street corner for spare change and money.

315
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 2: They were so.

316
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 3: Hungry and they were good and they but they were

317
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 3: making up songs called We're best Friends.

318
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 2: That was the name of this song.

319
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 3: And three of them would sing one high part and

320
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 3: the other ones would come in and the end was

321
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 3: like we are best friends, we are best friends, We're

322
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 3: too much, and then they would all snap and by

323
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 3: like the tenth time through.

324
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 2: They were so good.

325
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 3: People were throwing money in like a little bowl or whatever,

326
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 3: a cup that they had on the ground. The girls

327
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 3: made like thirty five dollars. They bought all of us

328
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 3: hot dogs and soft pretzels. That's amazing, eleven year old

329
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 3: girls singing like doop on the street.

330
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 2: Basically, it was so funny.

331
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 3: But we hated, hated the chaperones, and like that night

332
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 3: for dinner, drop biscuits.

333
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: It was over. Yeah, it was crazy.

334
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 3: It was so insane. And then the other detail about

335
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 3: that that was really strange because we started to be like, hey, man,

336
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 3: are you gonna feed us? They were like, hey, it's cool,

337
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 3: Like this is roughing it or whatever. Was it rained

338
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 3: and the rain we were protected, we had like rain

339
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 3: cover and everything, but the rain came under where our

340
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 3: tent was, and all night it was just clearing out

341
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 3: the dirt and clearing out the dirt like a little

342
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 3: grand canyon. And by the morning all three of us

343
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 3: were just a V shape, three boys in sleeping bags,

344
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 3: like creating a perfect little triangle of misery, damp on

345
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 3: the bottom, damp underneath, starving. Probably the worst week end

346
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 3: of my life is what I'm describing I.

347
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: Know, and it bums me out so much because if

348
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: you have, like, if you have someone who knows what

349
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: they're doing leading kids camping, it can be the most pleasant,

350
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: wonderful experience because there's just little tiny things you can

351
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: do to avoid water under your tents.

352
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 2: Call it a drop cloth.

353
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: And just fold the sides up so so that the

354
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: tent's bigger than the cloth underneath it, and then you're

355
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: dry and it's wonderful and you feel like power empowered

356
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: by it. Yes, I can't wait to be able to

357
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: teach my kids that. And it's just so crazy because

358
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: I have two things that I'm passionate about. Yes, for

359
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: my kids, it's surfing and camping, and both of them

360
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: I have to make sure because I have an over

361
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 1: I can be I can be overbearing when I when

362
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 1: I am very excited about something right, and I have

363
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: to make sure that I let them come to it

364
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: as opposed to continually like bringing them into it, because

365
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 1: you know, I'm always very very backed away from because

366
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: I've just had such bad experiences trying to get someone

367
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: to like the things I like, especially with like.

368
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 2: My wife or my dog.

369
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:32,959
Speaker 1: My wife and my dog don't like the things I

370
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: like and I've tried so hard.

371
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 3: Yes, but that's okay. So that's like Clark Griswald's entire character.

372
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 3: It's like we're going to Wally World. It's awesome, and

373
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:46,239
Speaker 3: everybody's like all right, Dad, Like all right, Clark, So

374
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 3: you just have And he's a beloved American character.

375
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: But he's not successful, do you know what I mean?

376
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: He's not successful in making people like the thing. And

377
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 1: I really do want to like leave my kids with that,

378
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: with that appreciation for nature.

379
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 3: Really, but there's the opposite too, because there's been so

380
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 3: many times in my life where people everybody else is

381
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 3: so enthusiastic about something that I could truly care less about,

382
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 3: but you just you just have to learn to get

383
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 3: into it or eat.

384
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 2: A friend of mine like three years ago said, like right.

385
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 3: Before The Great char was, she was talking about a

386
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 3: podcast she really liked, and I know something about one

387
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 3: of the hosts and that they're kind of a bad person.

388
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 2: And I told her.

389
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 3: I was like, you know, that person's kind of a

390
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 3: bad person, and she was like, you know, I'd rather

391
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 3: not know. She's like, it's it's just better if you

392
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 3: hadn't told me, because I just don't want you to

393
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 3: ruin the things that make me happy.

394
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 2: And I was like, you know what, that's fair.

395
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 3: So now if anybody says anything, I'm just like, yeah,

396
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 3: that's awesome, yet excited about it.

397
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 2: Unless they're putting themselves in danger. I don't care. Have

398
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 2: fun and enjoy.

399
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: Look you love Bill Cosby's podcast, that's great, dude.

400
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 3: I had a tweet like two days ago that I deleted.

401
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 3: It was just something about being a great hugger. I

402
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 3: was like, I'm a right hugger. I was just goofing

403
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 3: off and the first two comments were like do you

404
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 3: sound like Bill Cosby or something?

405
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 2: So I just deleted the tweet because I was like,

406
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 2: what do you guys do it like, don't don't.

407
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 3: I'm trying to just be silly and you're making it

408
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 3: horrible in an instant, I know.

409
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: It's it's more difficult to be silly.

410
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 2: It's more difficult.

411
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 3: People want the morning Drive radio shock jock jokes that

412
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 3: are just so still making Monica Lewinsky jokes. Okay, last

413
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 3: well we did it. Oh you want to do a

414
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 3: quick one, I'll send us away with one.

415
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 2: Okay.

416
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 3: I bought a puzzle from a charity shop for a

417
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 3: woman I was dating, and before I gave it to her,

418
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 3: I counted the number of pieces. There were nine hundred

419
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 3: and ninety nine out of one thousand pieces in the box.

420
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 3: But I gave it to her anyways and said said nothing.

421
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 2: I am not sorry.

422
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 3: One crazy that you counted nine hundred and ninety nine piece.

423
00:20:54,560 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 3: Craziest part Two you probably miscounted, and there's probably probably

424
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 3: around seven and seventy seven. You said it twice. But

425
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 3: three you are absolved. That is, you did a very

426
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:08,760
