75
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 3: Denver June sixth, and seventh and eighth, big time, and

76
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 3: where else are we going to?

77
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: Two different shows to Denver.

78
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 2: So if you're a true blue Bananamal and you want

79
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: to see both shows, you're going to see different stories,

80
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 2: You're going to see different news, probably different wardrobe.

81
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: It's going to be a night to remember. It's going

82
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: to be super fun.

83
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 3: And then of course Asbury Park July fourteenth, and then

84
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 3: Brook Glynn Bell House July seventeenth.

85
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 2: See you guys, that might be our last tour dates

86
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: for a while, So come on out.

87
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna hold off for a little bit.

88
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: We're gonna enjoy summer. So Kirk can take a nap

89
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 2: and sleep a little bit. Which is ironic because when

90
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 2: I met you, I don't think you went to bed

91
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: before four am, is like the first three or four years, So.

92
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: There you go.

93
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 3: I didn't go to bed before four for like, definitely

94
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 3: for a couple of years, four years. I would just

95
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 3: be like, I'm up until four in the morning and

96
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 3: then I sleep until.

97
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: Closing bars, closing bars at four am in New York City.

98
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 3: It's so silly that I used to think if we

99
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 3: didn't close the bar, we didn't have a good time.

100
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 3: What a crazy, crazy thought.

101
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: Yep, I know.

102
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: I'm good for like three of those a year now,

103
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 2: like three four am bar closers. Like if I'm in

104
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 2: New Orleans, I'll do it, If I'm in Europe, I'll

105
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 2: do it, like and then if I'm New York City,

106
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 2: I'll do it. But after that, like the next day,

107
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: I'm always like, boy, that was so so, so so so.

108
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 3: I mean San Francisco, we were only out until I

109
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 3: think one thirty or two. We left it like one

110
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 3: between one and one thirty, and the next day was

111
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 3: a deep existential reckoning.

112
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got it together for Portland. Thanks for those

113
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 2: great shows. So super super fun, well so fun. A story, yeah, man,

114
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:41,799
Speaker 2: this is so good.

115
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 3: Here it is I just want a plane when a

116
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 3: college student demanded PEPSI handover a hairyer jet. So this

117
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 3: was sent in by art of Wes Brooks, who has

118
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 3: sent us a lot of stories and I think he's

119
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 3: gotten a couple on in fact.

120
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: Hell yeah.

121
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 3: Published in Mental Floss, written by Jake Rain, Thanks Jake.

122
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: Jake is really good. Jake is he is? I think

123
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: he's better than good Scottie. He might be the best

124
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: in the biz.

125
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 3: This was printed at April fourteenth, twenty twenty two, so

126
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 3: you know it's new.

127
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: What's where it is?

128
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 3: John Leonard's demand was simple. All he wanted was for

129
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 3: Pepsi to deliver the hairrier jet he believed they had

130
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 3: promised in nineteen ninety six. This is a fascinating story.

131
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 3: In nineteen ninety six, Leonard, then a twenty one year

132
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 3: old college student, insisted he had a mass enough points

133
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 3: given away during one of the Soft Drink giants promotional

134
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 3: campaigns to take possession of the aircraft, which cost as

135
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 3: staggering thirty three point eight million dollars and was part

136
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 3: of the US military's air fleet. The fighter planes were

137
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 3: not commercially available, obviously, but Pepsi, Leonard argued, had offered

138
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 3: one up as a giveaway. Before the saga ended, a

139
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 3: judge would be forced to decide whether Pepsi was making

140
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 3: a joke or illegally binding offer for the jet. Leonard

141
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 3: The answer was clear. Leonard thought it was very serious.

142
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 3: As lawyer said, so did I. So we thought it

143
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 3: was a big contestant giveaway. The honest point is that

144
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 3: the man is entitled to his hairer jet. Pepsi and

145
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 3: rival Coca Cola have been locking horn had been locking

146
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 3: horns to buy for market share, but sometimes their attempts

147
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 3: to capture attention blow up in their faces. The constant

148
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 3: one upman eventually led to a nineteen ninety six promotion

149
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 3: in which Pepsi offered prizes or quote Pepsi stuff to

150
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 3: consumers who accumulated points from buying Pepsi products. Douzle enough

151
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 3: Pepsi and one might earn a T shirt, sunglasses, leather jacket,

152
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 3: beach towels, or, if one television spot was to be believed,

153
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 3: a hairrier jet.

154
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: Oh no yeah.

155
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 3: The Air Defense jets were part of the United States

156
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 3: Marine Corps and were remarkable for their ability to take

157
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 3: off and land vertically.

158
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah.

159
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 3: In the commercial, a student was seen climbing out of

160
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 3: the jet in front of his school and he says

161
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 3: shore beats the bus, and then a caption on the

162
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 3: screen relayed that seven million Pepsi points were needed for

163
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 3: the prize, vastly more than the dozens or hundreds of

164
00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 3: points needed to scroll.

165
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: It serves us jet. I'm excite jet.

166
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 3: They literally put seven million. They labeled it, and they

167
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 3: didn't have like a disclaim or anything. John Leonard, then

168
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 3: a business student at Shoreline Community College in Washington, saw

169
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 3: the ad when it was tested regionally in nineteen ninety

170
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 3: five before rolling out nationally. Since accumulating that many points

171
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 3: would mean drinking something along the lines of sixteen million,

172
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 3: eight hundred thousand kids of Pepsi, Leonard phoned the company

173
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 3: and was told PEPSI points could be earned through product

174
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 3: purchases or by simply buying them outright, the cost ten

175
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 3: cents per point. If the jet required seven million points,

176
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 3: he should be able to buy them for seven hundred

177
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 3: thousand dollars. Had absolute steal for military creating air.

178
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: I love this guy. Yeah.

179
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 3: In the media, Leonard explained he believed he might be

180
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 3: able to monetize the jet by renting it out for

181
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 3: thrill Thrill Rides. Didn't have much cash on hand, but

182
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 3: he put together a business proposal and he convinced five investors.

183
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: To just front him the money. Okay.

184
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 3: He sent the minimum required fifteen PEPSI points, as well

185
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 3: as a check for seven hundred thousand and eight dollars

186
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 3: and fifty cents for the remainder. Like he actually got

187
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 3: it together. He got seven hundred thousand dollars together.

188
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 2: They owe him this Harrier jet. They owe this plane.

189
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 3: As one might imagine, PEPSI did not deliver a plane. Instead,

190
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 3: they returned the check to Leonard with a coupon for

191
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 3: three free cases of soda and a note explaining the

192
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 3: ad was meant to be fanciful and humorous. Leonard was

193
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 3: not amused, So we hired this lawyer, and then that's

194
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 3: when things.

195
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: Really took off. Okay, here we go mm hm.

196
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 3: At the heart of the matter was whether court could

197
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 3: be persuaded that Pepsi was making a genuine offer. Right

198
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 3: promotional pizes for cars and vacations, even houses like the

199
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 3: one offered by five in nineteen ninety seven that was

200
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,119
Speaker 3: a replica of the abode on the Simpsons were not unusual.

201
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,599
Speaker 3: Perhaps Leonard had a case that it was reasonable to

202
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 3: think Pepsi was serious about a fighter jet. PEPSI contended

203
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 3: it was a joke, and an obvious one at that.

204
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 3: To make it even clear, the company tweaked the ad.

205
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 3: This is fascinating. This is how they tweaked it to

206
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 3: make it even clear. The company tweaked the ad when

207
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 3: it went national, so it read just kidding and adjusted

208
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 3: that the number of Pepsi points needed to seven hundred million,

209
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 3: which is so strange that that.

210
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: I mean, like, oh, that's their fix, that's their fixed. Yeah,

211
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: bozos uh.

212
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 3: Leonard argued otherwayse Pepsi had depicted a jet required number

213
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 3: of points, he provided it, and then he claims he

214
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 3: didn't want any publicity on this. That's what he told

215
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 3: the Seattle Times. They brought the public light. I sort

216
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 3: of believe that he might be a very you know,

217
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 3: like I focus on one thing, and I only focus

218
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 3: on that thing.

219
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: Obviously, does he have his pilot's license? I got question, and.

220
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 3: The way he talks to is very you know. They

221
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 3: bought the public they brought the public light on this.

222
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 3: My sole intention was to get the plane. I'm not

223
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 3: trying to make a statement. I'm not looking for a settlement.

224
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 3: I just want a plane.

225
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm with this guy.

226
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 3: Of course, then there's another wrickle, the logistics of actual

227
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 3: trafficking and harrier jets.

228
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah, blah.

229
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 3: So then they're saying like, even if you could get

230
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 3: the plane, he can't fly it, like unless he's a

231
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 3: military pilot.

232
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 2: It's so funny that you have to drive planes before

233
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 2: they take off. There are pilots sitting in a little

234
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 2: cockpit in the front. And then when I think about

235
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 2: it every time, because you and Kristen once drove a

236
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: flightless plane around for a web series we did Penelope,

237
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 2: Princess of Pets.

238
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I every.

239
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 2: Time I'm in a plane or just at the airport,

240
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 2: you know, when you sit there and you're like, oh,

241
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 2: I got a window seat, I can watch planes taking

242
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 2: off and landing. The funniest part to me is when

243
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: you see the pilots in the front of the plane

244
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 2: just driving.

245
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: It like a little car.

246
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 2: They got their little steering wheel, and then and then

247
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 2: a guy's got the two glowy sticks and he's like,

248
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 2: bring it over here.

249
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: That is so funny.

250
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 3: It's really really funny. This giant thing that's supposed to

251
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 3: be in the air just like tooting along.

252
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: Wait where the eyes are.

253
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 2: There's just two adults just being like, let's take this

254
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 2: in at five miles an hour and park it.

255
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: It's the best.

256
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 3: So to end the story, it was a judge would

257
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 3: he said advertisements were not a contractually binding offer, nor

258
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 3: did the opportunity to win a jet appear in writing

259
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 3: that is it?

260
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 2: That's a I actually think that this guy deserves a plane.

261
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 2: I also understand that Pepsi's like, hey, you gave a

262
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 2: seven hundred k, We're not going to give you a

263
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 2: thirty million dollar jet. Harrier jets are also hilarious when

264
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 2: they take off like straight up and down. That's their

265
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 2: thing is like they don't need a runway. That's I

266
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 2: mean to see this guy. They should be like, if

267
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 2: you can take go one hundred feet in the air

268
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 2: and land it, you can keep it.

269
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: That would be the ultimate test for this dude.

270
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 3: Then and then at thirty three million dollar jet has

271
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 3: destroyed and he dies.

272
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, but what a way to go? The guy likes,

273
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 2: Oh way to go to guy. I support that guy.

274
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 3: I really do support him as well. Look look at

275
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 3: him go what a crazy idea. If it was like

276
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 3: a if it was like a smaller company, I would

277
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 3: be like, come on, dude, let's not what.

278
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: Go for it, se go for it. Shoot you show.

279
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 2: So that guy is probably going to be very successful

280
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: in life is if he was able to organize this

281
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 2: many people to get all that stuff together.

282
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 3: So he's definitely going to be rich. Whether or not

283
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 3: he will ever be happy remains to be seen, do

284
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 3: you know what I mean? Like he'll have money and

285
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 3: probably never be satisfied.

286
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, until he gets that plane.

287
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 3: Until he gets that plane. I remember, I just this

288
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 3: just reminded me of that time. This was the nineties,

289
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 3: but love them late eighties, late eighties, early NINETIESKA like

290
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 3: top There were like three two or three movies that

291
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 3: influenced me as a like ten or eleven or twelve

292
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 3: year old, YEP, which was Top Gun, Aliens Great Movie,

293
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 3: and Weird Sign. I remember a movie Top Gun and

294
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 3: Aliens in the theaters and the Weird Science I think

295
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 3: I only saw on TV. Yes, but that was like

296
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 3: that time in your adolescence when just quoting things was

297
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 3: the height of comedy.

298
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: Yes, it still is in most of the country too,

299
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: by the way, No, it is not. Oh my god,

300
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: there go you.

301
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 2: A friend of ours, a mutual friend of ours, was

302
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 2: dating somebody from like Nevada, and she went up there

303
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 2: and they were hanging out, and she was like, it

304
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 2: was so boring. He and his friends were so boring.

305
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 2: And I jokingly said, did they just quote movies and

306
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 2: TV shows the whole time? And she burst out into laughter.

307
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 2: She's like, that's exactly what they did, So hey, keeps

308
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 2: me employed.

309
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: I don't care, ah, but I love it.

310
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 3: It's so strange to think that that is, like, because

311
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 3: when you go back and watch like Top Gun, especially

312
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 3: just like this is this was the this was the

313
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 3: model for adult masculinity.

314
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: That I had as a child. It's insane. Are you

315
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: kidding me?

316
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 2: You're saying playing shirtless volleyball, beach volleyball with other men

317
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 2: wearing skin tight jeans, You don't think that is the

318
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 2: height of.

319
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: That masculinity.

320
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 2: And then doing that high five where you do the

321
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 2: lower one and the upper one in the lower man.

322
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: I did that one so many times. Of course I'm

323
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: still doing it. I love that high five.

324
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 2: My sister had a Top Gun poster in her room

325
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 2: and it was like, you know, I you just would

326
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 2: like stare at. I think it was the one that

327
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 2: had both Kelly McGillis and Tom Cruise on it, so

328
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 2: it was and like, look, only thirty something years later

329
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 2: we get the sequel, so you live long enough.

330
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: Literally watched that.

331
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 3: I watched that sequel the trailer, and I was like, Oh,

332
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 3: I'm going to see this the theater because I just

333
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 3: realized at that moment when I saw the trailer for

334
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 3: the second one, I was like, it was like fundamental

335
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 3: in the creation of me as an adult or it's

336
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 3: like a as a as a as a teenager. Yes,

337
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 3: you know, which is so weird. It's not a great movie,

338
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 3: but that's a pretty good movie.

339
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 2: It's amazing. But if you're at the right age, Yeah,

340
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 2: it was everything. It just brought it. Also, that was

341
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 2: like the late eighties. It was very much just like

342
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 2: anything's possible.

343
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: Watch this. We're breaking barriers left and right, and so

344
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: where you just did it.

345
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 3: You never you never questioned any of it. Kelly McGillis,

346
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 3: Kelly McGillis, was that her name.

347
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: That's what I'd said, That's what I'm going for.

348
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 3: That's what Kelly McGillis instructs, fight flight instructor, she instructs

349
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 3: the Mavericks of the world at a flight school.

350
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: Was great, she was the best.

351
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 2: She had a good run. Uh you want one, yep.

352
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 2: Family tree stumped. Most Americans can't name all four of

353
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 2: their grandparents.

354
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: What oh wow, So I can't there you go, I

355
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: was doing this too. I can and I didn't look

356
00:16:58,360 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: it up.

357
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 2: I didn't cheat, I mean obviously, and everybody at home going,

358
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 2: of course you can.

359
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: But it's interesting.

360
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 2: So this was written by Chris Best in the business

361
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 2: Maloney for studyfinds dot org. But I found it many

362
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 2: other places. But study finds dot org not a bad website, Kurt,

363
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 2: Lots of studies, lots of results, study find or finds.

364
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: Finds with a s doctully finds. I love it.

365
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 3: This study finds that blah blah blah blah blah.

366
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 1: Like that. I love that.

367
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 2: And so I went and verified this on many other websites.

368
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 2: This is true and I found this one. So thank

369
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 2: you me, New York. I guess this study took place

370
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 2: in New York, New York. Familiar with your family tree,

371
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 2: there's a good chance you're not. I mean, Chris Maloney

372
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 2: gets in there or malone in there right punches you

373
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 2: in the face with a temptation to read more. More

374
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 2: than half of Americans don't know the name names of

375
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 2: all four of their grandparents.

376
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 3: Oh what though it does. It's a bummer that the

377
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 3: next sentence is this study finds that you know it

378
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 3: should if it's on studyfines dot com, it should always

379
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 3: say this study finds like that should happen?

380
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: Oh should open? All right? Keep going?

381
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 2: Media mist in the biz a recent survey of twenty

382
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 2: thirteen US adults, including nine hundred and eleven from the

383
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 2: top ten Nielsen market areas, including two hundred and two

384
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 2: from Salt Lake City.

385
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 3: I don't know why why are we giving this information? Also,

386
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 3: what is the Nielsen connection? Okay, keep going?

387
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: Malone found there?

388
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, keep going Chris Malone or maloney which I found

389
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 2: that there is a massive knowledge gap when it comes

390
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 2: to recent family history knowledge of past generations, varied by cities.

391
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 2: Sixty six percent of Boston residents could name all of

392
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 2: their grandparents, compared to only twenty six percent in Philadelphia.

393
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 2: Is so funny to me because my my stereotype of

394
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 2: people from Philadelphia is they don't leave their neighborhood. So

395
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 2: it's like my images on their grandmother's house is next

396
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 2: to their mom's apartment, which and they live in the

397
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 2: basement unit and wear tracksuits and deal drugs. That is

398
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 2: my version of Philadelphia. Twenty six percent can name their

399
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 2: all four grandparents twenty six. That must be the lowest.

400
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 2: Is that that's got to be the lew Yes.

401
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: That's the lowest that they had.

402
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 2: San Francisco residents were thirty four percent, while people in

403
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 2: Chicago and Dallas are only slightly higher at thirty six percent.

404
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 2: As a whole, just forty seven percent of all respondents

405
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 2: could correctly name all four of their own grandparents.

406
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: Wow.

407
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 2: Now, this was conducted by one poll on behalf of ancestry,

408
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 2: which you know is ancestry dot com. The survey also

409
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 2: revealed that only four percent four could name all eight

410
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 2: of their great grandparents. And that's where I was like, oh,

411
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 2: I don't know if I could name I could name one.

412
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: Oh I don't even know.

413
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 3: Oh I can name one, but I li really would

414
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 3: say granny because that's how I knew her.

415
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, so four percent can name all eight of their grandparents. Also,

416
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 2: a lot of this was sort of that Greatest gen

417
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 2: era where people just stayed miserably married forever, Like, imagine

418
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 2: this when your parents get divorced and remarried and divorce

419
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 2: and remarried, so like you have split. I mean, come on,

420
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 2: it says that in ten years this is going to

421
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 2: be even wilder. For one pole, three and four people

422
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 2: in Salt Lake City said they felt knowledgeable about their

423
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:34,239
Speaker 2: family history, compared tony forty six percent in Philadelphia.

424
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 1: This study is just dumping on Philly. I love. The

425
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: reason I like I can do.

426
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 3: The reason I can't do it is just because my grandmother,

427
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 3: like the she got pregnant and then he was like,

428
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 3: do you want to get married?

429
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: And she was like, no, I want to be a dancer.

430
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: So then he took off. Sure, And so we.

431
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 3: Didn't know who he was until my mom was like

432
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 3: sixty nine. I had sixty eight or something like that.

433
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 3: In so I cannot remember his name. That's fine, that's

434
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 3: I think that's reasonable, right. But also as a younger person,

435
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 3: like in my twenties, I don't think I knew the name.

436
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: Of my my my.

437
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 3: Paternal grandfather, just because he died before I was born.

438
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it makes sense to me. Mine were John, Mary, Melbayn,

439
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 2: and Warren. I mean Melba and Melba and Warren. Those

440
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 2: are great names. Give me they don't make grandpa names. Well,

441
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 2: now everybody's naming their kids stuff like Melbourne Lawren, So

442
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 2: I guess they'll be back in in a few years.

443
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 3: I got Otto Hilda Dorothy and then really good days

444
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 3: a blank.

445
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 2: My favorite cashier at the supermarket near us is Dorothy

446
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 2: she Rocks. Shout out to Dorothy at Gelson's, Marge gap

447
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 2: Kurdi b. Most respondents did expressed an interest in learning

448
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 2: more about their family history sixty six percent.

449
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: In particular over half of the pole.

450
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 2: And when Chris Malone writes over half of the pole,

451
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 2: he means fifty one percent wanted to know stories about

452
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 2: their ancestors when they were young and what they were

453
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 2: like at the time.

454
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: Oh, that seems nice.

455
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 2: I found out that my grandmother on my mom's side,

456
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 2: Mary was like to drink Manhattan's in the twenties and thirties. Yeah,

457
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 2: so the first time I ever blacked out drinking was

458
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 2: was with her. I found that out. God, I wish

459
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 2: I think she had passed.

460
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: At that point.

461
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 2: There was like a small familyish reunion in Washington, North Carolina,

462
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 2: where my aunt and uncle live, which is a kind

463
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 2: of a cool little town right on the Pamlico River.

464
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 2: And I found that information out and I was excited

465
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 2: about it. So they had the ingredients, so I started

466
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 2: making Manhattan's and I was staying in a house down

467
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 2: the street. Neighbors let a bunch of us stay there

468
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 2: so we could have this reunion. And they had tons

469
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 2: of cats. They had cats galore. They were like, oh

470
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 2: it's clean. Oh my god.

471
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: I don't normally have cat allergies.

472
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 2: I was like, death, it makes me sympathetic to everybody's allergies.

473
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: How bad it was. So I took a.

474
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 2: Suit of fed and then I started drinking Manhattan's and

475
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 2: we were playing Hearts.

476
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: I don't remember what happened. So this was all at

477
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: your like, this is uncle's house.

478
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 2: Family gathering, four of us playing hearts. I had the

479
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 2: Hearts before twenty twenty or twenty one.

480
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 1: I was pretty young. I might have still been in college,

481
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 1: or I was.

482
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 3: Just out right just out of college. You can't handle

483
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 3: just drinking lip just.

484
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, just whiskey, sweepermooth, a couple shakes of bitters. Some

485
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 2: people throw a Martino's cherry in there. I went, I forewent,

486
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 2: I forego with the cherry. And so we're playing and

487
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 2: then I wake up in bed. So it's that blackout

488
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 2: thing with time travel, but I didn't really realize it.

489
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 2: And then I go back to the house and I was.

490
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 2: They were like, you were so drunk, and I was like,

491
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 2: I don't remember. They were like, well, you do remember

492
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 2: the first part, right, because you were playing terribly. And

493
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 2: then I blacked out and my score just kept getting

494
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 2: better and better and better. So in my black like

495
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 2: it was like a beautiful mind, like in my pseudo

496
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 2: fed three or four Manhattan's deep mind, I suddenly was

497
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 2: just seeing numbers coming together and cards shifting around.

498
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: I was shooting the moon. I was just having a

499
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: black and they were like, you don't remember any of that.

500
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't remember.

501
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 2: They were like, well, here's the scores and you can

502
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 2: see this like bell curve or reverse bell curve or whatever,

503
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 2: of me just getting better and better at strategy as

504
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 2: I'm just drifting.

505
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 1: But yeah, so I do agree, Like you would love to.

506
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 2: Hear stories about Otto and Dorothy, like it is so fascinating.

507
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 2: I would suggest to been animals to set up your phone,

508
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 2: push a voice recorder, write ten fifteen questions for your

509
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 2: parents and talk about your family.

510
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 1: Get a oral life history.

511
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 3: Going my god, it is, I know, and it's this

512
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 3: is one of those things where there's like there's no

513
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 3: deadline to do it. So it's very difficult I find

514
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 3: to get anything done when there's not a deadline. Yes, man,

515
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 3: do it because I have constantly, like especially now that

516
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 3: I have a kid, I want to ask my mom.

517
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 3: So I have questions for her every single day of course.

518
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 3: Uh And I'm just like it has it is lost

519
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 3: to time now that she's died. And uh and unfortunately

520
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 3: we all die, so get them in now.

521
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: Kids, everybody's healthy. Oh, you're not gonna die. That's cool.

522
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, speaking of not dying, I'm just going to make

523
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,399

Speaker 3: It's a series I think called I think it's a series.

526
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,840

00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,679

00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 3: who like came out of the woods in Vernon, Canada.

530
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 1: Wow.

531
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:02,239
Speaker 3: Uh and like the story is is why it is

532
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,479
Speaker 3: so crazy? You're little hooked the whole time. It's just

533
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 3: eight episodes.

534
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: Wild listen, man.

535
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 2: Wild Wild Boys, all listen. We got to get up

536
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 2: to Canada again. I'm thinking Montreal. I'm thinking Toronto. I'm

537
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 2: thinking I mean, I worry about Montreal. I just worry

538
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 2: about Montreal. Whether or not they go to shows. Because

539
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 2: I was in Montreal for three months. It was like,

540
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 2: I don't know, uh, November, so it wasn't insane winter yet.

541
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 2: And jay Z was playing and I was able to

542
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 2: get floor tickets for like fifty dollars fifteen minutes before

543
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 2: the show started, and the whole the whole place was

544
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 2: maybe like a quarter full, three maybe a third full.

545
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,479
Speaker 1: So that is like this jay Z playing Montreal, nobody

546
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: shows up. It's crazy.

547
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 2: Yes, jason Z is way more popular than we are,

548
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 2: so we might just have to play a small little

549
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 2: room in the back of the casino.

550
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: Now, also fine with no we're playing, We're playing the

551
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: play the arena.

552
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 3: That would be very It would just be one hundred

553
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 3: and seventy five people in the smallest little area.

554
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 2: I mean, that would be so great. We'd go into debt,

555
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 2: we'd go into Harrier jet debt. But that's fine with me.

556
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: All right. Here we go us into a sweet little break.

557
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:23,040

Speaker 3: It starts with He's probably the smartest businessman around, even

681
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 3: though he's technically a doctor by trade?

682
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: Is he uh?

683
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 3: Doctor Dick Chopp performs vasectomies, and he maybe one of

684
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 3: the few doctors patients actually referred to by both first

685
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:47,920

Speaker 3: Technically his name is Richard. He goes by Dick.

688
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: Quote.

689
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 3: My patients call me Dick Chop. They say, how'd you

690
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 3: get that name? I say, it's mainly divine intervention, Dick

691
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 3: Chop says, quote, It's always been fun for me. Everybody

692
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 3: wishes they had my name. No, that's where I want.

693
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: To add it.

694
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 3: No, nobody wishes they had the name Dick Chop, not once,

695
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 3: not a single human being. No, as ever said of

696
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 3: the list of names, I wish my name was Dick Chop,

697
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 3: not at all.

698
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: Never.

699
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 3: And my question is did Dick Chop go into urology

700
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,439
Speaker 3: because of his name? Or did youurology find Dick Chop?

701
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 2: Because you gotta wonder, it's it's ill chicken in the

702
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 2: egg when it comes to DC.

703
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: My goodness, Dick Chop is retired.

704
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 3: Probably somebody knows him here, so we're not we don't speak.

705
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: Ill of him. No, we hope he lives forever, but.

706
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 3: They definitely maybe it's slander that I said that he

707
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 3: did a bad job, but look they didn't.

708
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 1: There's ways to do with that. If that was true,

709
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: that's fine with me.

710
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 2: But yes, you know what, I'm turning my I'm turning

711
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,439
Speaker 2: the tide over here, because good for you. Be proud

712
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 2: of your name if that's what you if that's what

713
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,439
Speaker 2: you're handed in life, if you're handed at Dick Chop

714
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 2: in life, good for you.

715
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 1: Be proud of who you are. Not everybody's going to

716
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 1: have a really cool name in this world.

717
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 3: The craziest part is they get a T shirt after

718
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 3: they get of a sectomy, which, by the way, I

719
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 3: would have loved to have gotten a T shirt after

720
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 3: act me.

721
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:12,720
Speaker 1: Of course you would everybody.

722
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 3: I think everybody loves a T shirt, but especially like

723
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 3: saying what but the back of it reads, I was

724
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 3: chopped at the urology.

725
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: Team and it's just like he's own it.

726
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 3: But that it makes no sense if people don't know

727
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 3: the guy's name is Dick Chopped.

728
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.

729
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 3: That should say I was chopped by Dick Chop. That's

730
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 3: what it should say, Doctor Jip Chop. Chopped my dick.

731
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 3: That's what it should say.

732
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: There could easily be a limerick.

733
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 2: There could be a whole wood Chuck chuck type of

734
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 2: thing with this. So maybe he's not the greatest businessman alive.

735
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 2: This person none of us have heard of.

736
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 3: But I do recommend vasectomies for everybody.

737
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: Just go at them, guys. They are not too bad.

738
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 1: It did.

739
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 3: I was surprisingly painful afterwards, for longer than I anticipated.

740
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 3: But also I immediately went and did a television spot.

741
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 3: I just immediately went and did Luka Singh's late night

742
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 3: show fun Like moments after having had a vasectomy, and

743
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 3: I was.

744
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: Like, oh, this was a bad idea.

745
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 3: I should not have come directly to doing a late

746
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 3: night show right after.

747
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: That being an issue.

748
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 2: I would like to go back and watch the footage

749
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 2: and just see how drawn your face looks. Just like

750

Speaker 1: It's amazing. Yeah.

754
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 2: But also he could have been Richie very easily. He

755
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 2: could have been Richie Chop. That's a cool name. Richie

756
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,760
Speaker 2: Chop sounds like a point guard for University of Michigan

757
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 2: Richie Chop. He went three for five from the three

758

Speaker 2: lined up for one of his fluffy flapjacks. It was

774

Speaker 2: a pancake party. Kimball, who was forty three, hosted it

775
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:58,759

780
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 2: then he then taped to telephone polls around Bernal Heights neighborhood.

781
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 2: She says, I need to make friends, so I'm making pancakes.

782
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 2: He provided an address, a time, and other details, and

783
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 2: he added, come by and say hi and have some

784
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 2: pancakes with me. Kimball says he wasn't expecting anyone to

785
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 2: show up because he didn't know if people even read

786
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 2: flyers anymore, which is fair. Then he saw nearly one

787
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 2: hundred neighbors assembled in front of his house to do

788
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 2: the inaugural pancake party on January twenty second, and he

789
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 2: decided quote I guess they do end quote. Kimball came

790
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,359
Speaker 2: up with the concept of hosting a pancake party as

791
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 2: a means of bringing some joy into his neighborhood, where

792
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,760
Speaker 2: he's lived with his wife and two daughters. Given the pandemic,

793
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,720
Speaker 2: it's been difficult to meet people and make friends. He said,

794
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 2: I just don't know how grown ups make friends. It

795
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 2: is tough, right, I mean, for a lot of people,

796
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 2: very difficult to make adult friends.

797
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 3: A great way to make adult friends is to come

798
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 3: to a bananas show, folks.

799
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:10,720
Speaker 1: Everybody is very friendly.

800
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 2: People are extremely friendly, to the point where the staff

801
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 2: of all the clubs and theaters we've played have told

802
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 2: us not only how friendly and nice everybody is, but

803
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 2: how well everybody tips. Yes, we heard that in both

804
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 2: we heard. We've heard that three times. How well you

805
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,879
Speaker 2: guys tip? So good for you if you're employed, tip big.

806
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 2: I don't mind looking foolish. Secret to life, right, Kurt,

807
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 2: If you don't mind looking foolish. M hm, boy, it's awsome,

808
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me?

809
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:38,439
Speaker 1: That's it?

810
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 3: And also what you think of is foolish.

811
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: Other people do not think of as foolish. That's right.

812
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 3: That's the main thing. When people think you're foolish, you

813
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 3: will have no idea. So don't worry when you feel foolish.

814
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: That's true.

815
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 3: You're actually you're ahead of the game because no one

816
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 3: thinks you're foolish. At that point, people probably think you're cool.

817
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great point. When asked why pancakes Kimball

818
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 2: said his reasoning was simple. Even if you don't like

819
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 2: to eat pancakes, you do just like the idea of them.

820
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 2: He said, being around pancakes feels good, even if you're

821
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 2: not eating them yourself. Honestly, that's true. Curtis Curtis poet

822
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 2: in life. Yeah, we should have seen if you had

823
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 2: one when we were up there. Either way, he said,

824
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 2: if you see somebody making pancakes for strangers, you'd probably

825
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 2: think that person is nice. I would absolutely think that.

826
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 2: It turns out his neighbors concurred. Not only were they

827
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,720
Speaker 2: intrigued by the pancakes, but like Kimball, they were hungry

828
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 2: for more than just breakfast. They were craving human connection.

829
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 2: It was the best vibe I've had a long time,

830
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 2: he said. It was really refreshing to see people smiling

831
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 2: and enjoying themselves. We got to celebrate each other as

832
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 2: and people a lot more and then. At both events,

833
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 2: Kimball covered the cost of the pancakes and toppings, but

834
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 2: neighbors brought stuff to share as people always will, such

835
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 2: as coffee, homemade honey, and lemon curd. Many people asked

836
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 2: if they could contribute funds and Kimball said, sure. He

837
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 2: recently decided a GoFundMe would help make future pancake parties

838
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 2: a more financially sustainable thing. I mean, especially living in

839
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 2: San Francisco. Yeah, like everything is so expensive. You're like, wowsers.

840
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 3: A leaf fell on me and charged me fifteen cents.

841
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: There it is, there, it is, it is. We needed

842
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,839
Speaker 1: a ref we got one. Kimball said.

843
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 2: Roughly three hundred people showed up for his second gathering,

844
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 2: which is incredible. I mean, people are star for connection.

845
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 2: It takes so little to get people money.

846
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: How many how many for the second one? Three hundred?

847
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

848
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 2: And he's just out there with an electric girl. He's

849
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 2: just he's a really good chef too, and so he

850
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,479
Speaker 2: uses flour, eggs and milk, but he ups the fat

851
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 2: content a little bit and he uses a little too much.

852
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: Vanilla's fine with me.

853
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 2: I like a little vanilla in my my flapjacks. His

854
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 2: ultimate goal is to start a national neighborhood pancake Day,

855
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 2: so everyone has to do it on the same day

856
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 2: at the same time and carb up in the whole country.

857
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,720
Speaker 2: We will do this, yeah, you and I will absolutely,

858
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 2: Curtis Kimball, I think your Banana of the week.

859
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: I think this is an incredible thing to do.

860
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 2: And we'll keep you posted because if he picks a

861
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 2: date and it becomes a national thing where you make

862
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 2: pancakes for your neighbors, we're in come back.

863
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 1: Well, we're not going to do it in front of

864
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: our actual houses, but we'll.

865
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 2: Find a place and we'll make pancakes for any bananimals

866
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 2: that show up.

867
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: I love that idea.

868
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 3: It's a great idea that just again, we've said it

869
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 3: so many times on the podcast. You have an idea

870
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 3: and just put it in the calendar. Just put it

871
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 3: in the calendar to do it, and just be like,

872
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 3: we're gonna do that thing on this day, and then

873
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 3: you just get ready and then you just do it.

874
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 3: Don't think, don't overthink it, just choose a day and

875
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 3: do it.

876
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 2: So we do have something coming up, but I don't

877
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,040

Speaker 3: When I read a headline in the New York Times,

943
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 3: I say, but what does k tull have to say?

944
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: What does ktoole dot com have to say?

945
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 2: Ktoole Tulsa Police, another Tulsa story or another Tulsa reference?

946
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: What an app?

947
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 2: Tulsa police involved in a slow speed chase ends safely?

948
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 2: It began just after six am. Oh, this is so elderly.

949
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 2: I love it. It began just after six am on

950
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:34,240
Speaker 2: northbound Highway seventy five, heading towards the Inner Dispersal Loop,

951
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 2: when police saw an elderly woman driving very slowly. Officers

952
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,840
Speaker 2: attempted to make a traffic stop, but she would not

953
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:42,720
Speaker 2: pull over.

954
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 1: I mean, we know what happened. She didn't even know

955
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 1: they were behind her, exactly.

956
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 2: Good for her The pursuit ended near the twenty first

957
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:55,280
Speaker 2: Street exit on eastbound Broken Air Expressway a short time later.

958
00:46:55,880 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 2: Speeds never exceeded twenty five mile per hour.

959
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 1: So good.

960
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 2: I think Ussein bolt can run like twenty four miles.

961
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,840
Speaker 2: Now we're gonna have to google that. But basically the

962
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 2: human condition can run as fast as this grandmother was driving.

963
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: She's a sweet old lady.

964
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 2: Police were trying to locate her family and find out

965
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 2: whether or not she was related to a silver alert,

966
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:22,280
Speaker 2: which is the funniest alert.

967
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 3: It's a silver alert for when an older person goes missing.

968
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 2: Obviously, nothing funny about an older person going missing. We

969
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 2: love our golden bananas, but a silver alert is a

970
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:34,720
Speaker 2: very funny thing to name it.

971
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 1: It is.

972
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,919
Speaker 2: The woman is in custody, but police says there will

973
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 2: be no charges.

974
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,320
Speaker 1: Good for her. Yeah, getting out there.

975
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:48,359
Speaker 3: And going for it, you know, not stopping when you're

976
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 3: at that age.

977
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 1: Why stop? Why stop? Right? Yeah?

978
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:54,359
Speaker 2: What are you gonna pull over? She's got places to go?

979
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 2: Clock is ticking.

980
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 1: Good for her. I love that.

981
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 2: When I was at you men, so, I used to

982
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 2: do this sing in high school and then I blew

983
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 2: out some speakers A couple of times doing this. And

984
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:06,839
Speaker 2: what I would do is I would roll down all

985
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 2: four windows and I would blast the strong the song

986
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,319
Speaker 2: the Stroke, Stroke misstroke Me.

987
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: You know that song, right? No, no, no, no, oh man,

988
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:19,240
Speaker 1: it is a great song.

989
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,280
Speaker 2: I highly recommend anybody who's never heard of it, Billy

990
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 2: Squire the Stroke, and it's basically he just yelled stroked me,

991
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 2: Stroke me a ton of times. I to just drive

992
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 2: at five miles an hour past whatever crowd I could find,

993
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 2: just blasting that song and staring straight ahead. I wouldn't

994
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 2: look at anybody, I wouldn't smile, would wait a movie,

995
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 2: letting out, a bar, letting out, sporting events, letting out.

996
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:43,799
Speaker 2: I would call it stroking. I would go stroking all

997
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 2: the time. It was before the internet. This was my

998
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 2: version of having fun. So I was a senior at

999
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 2: UMass Amherst. People were moving in. It was moving day,

1000
00:48:57,400 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 2: and I was in a different part of campus, and

1001
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 2: I decided I was going to drive from one part

1002
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 2: of campus to the next on a walking path, playing

1003
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 2: the Stroke as loud as I could, so off road.

1004
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: I don't know why.

1005
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 2: And so I'm going two miles an hour blasting the

1006
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 2: Stroke by Billy Squire as loud as I can. People

1007
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 2: are waving, people are wooing out of dorms. Everybody's having fun.

1008
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 2: Parents are very concerned moving in their kids freshman year.

1009
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 2: And I'm on this hill that's I don't know what

1010
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 2: the grade is, but I'm on a pretty steep hill

1011
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 2: driving from Central to Orchard Hill, two different areas on

1012
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,839
Speaker 2: u Mess's campus. And I look in my rear view

1013
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:40,359
Speaker 2: and there's a police card following me down the hill.

1014
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:43,359
Speaker 2: While I'm blasting the stroke. This is a sidewalk. I'm

1015
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,800
Speaker 2: driving on a sidewalk. I was just having a dazed

1016
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 2: and confused type of moment. I was just like, you

1017
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 2: know what, these are all freshmen coming in. I'm going

1018
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:56,959
Speaker 2: to let them know that this college is fun. So

1019
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 2: the lights come on and I'm stopped on it hill

1020
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,399
Speaker 2: on a path and the cop walks up.

1021
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:08,280
Speaker 1: Campus police and he's like, what are you doing? Campus

1022
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: police do yeah.

1023
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 2: And I was like, I'm going to pretend to have

1024
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 2: a Southern accent. I still had Maryland plates on my car,

1025
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 2: and I was like, sir, I just I got turned around.

1026
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:21,399
Speaker 2: I'm not I thought this was a road, and he goes,

1027
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 2: this is so clearly a sidewalk. There are like there's

1028
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 2: like a handrail on one side of the like safety boxes,

1029
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:32,319
Speaker 2: and he's like, do you go here? I was like,

1030
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 2: I do, but I was at West Florida, so I

1031
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 2: don't really know this campus.

1032
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 1: He's like, are you moving in today?

1033
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 2: I was like, I actually live off campus, and he's like,

1034
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 2: I gotta write you up for this, and I was like,

1035
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 2: can you just can we just pull down to.

1036
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,319
Speaker 1: The parking lot. He was like sure. So then I

1037
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,320
Speaker 1: go down the parking lot with a cop following.

1038
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 2: I don't blast the music because I'm like I'm trying

1039
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 2: to get out there right right right, And he's like,

1040
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 2: can I see your student I d I said yes,

1041
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 2: and I give him a student or the and he's like,

1042
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 2: all right, I can either give you a noise citation

1043
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 2: as if I was like in a dorm room or whatever,

1044
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 2: which I don't even know if that has a fee.

1045
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 2: But he was like I can't. He wasn't going to

1046
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 2: arrest me. He's like, just don't do what you're doing.

1047
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 2: I was like, but I was like, I seriously was

1048
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 2: turned around. I totally he knew exactly what I was doing. Yeah,

1049
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 2: and he lets me go and then I was like

1050
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 2: I have to do this because all the parents were watching.

1051
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 2: And as soon as I get in my car, as

1052
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 2: soon as he gets in his car, I just turn

1053
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 2: up the stroke a little louder, a little louder, a

1054
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 2: little louder, and I just stroked through the whole campus.

1055
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:37,959
Speaker 2: It was so beautiful, but it was so funny because

1056
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 2: he was like, what this guy is doing is so stupid.

1057
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:42,359
Speaker 2: I don't even want to do the paperwork for this

1058
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 2: because like, yeah, you know, it was a fit endless crime.

1059
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:46,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1060
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:49,640
