Speaker 1: Scott Are you ready?
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm ready to laugh and laugh ed loaf.
Speaker 1: It's time to get back to basics for this podcast.
Speaker 2: Yeah, finally here it is.
Speaker 1: Okay, scientists who discovered mammals can breathe through their butts
Speaker 1: receiving no Belle Prize.
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll blow it out your ass. We're about to
Speaker 2: go wild on a brand new episode of Bananas the podcast.
Speaker 2: It's Bananas the podcast Don't World, Would you.
Speaker 1: Mind? Nozillion pieces? Would bananas?
Speaker 2: Bananas, Banana ba Bananas, Guys, Gallas, non Binary Palace.
Speaker 1: Welcome to yet another episode of Bananas. I am Kurt Brown.
Speaker 2: Older, I am Banana Boy number two Scottie Landis. Thank
Speaker 2: you for listening to the silliest little podcast there ever was.
Speaker 2: It is late September early October in the United States
Speaker 2: of America. A beautiful time in every state. It may
Speaker 2: be the prettiest time of year in North America, whether
Speaker 2: you're peeping leaves or experiencing unexpected diarrhea from drinking too
Speaker 2: much hot apple cider while picking apples. It's a beautiful
Speaker 2: time when we're glad to share it with you.
Speaker 1: I had not been prepared for that. I had no
Speaker 1: idea that if you make fresh apple cider out of
Speaker 1: a bunch of apples, good luck, and then chug it
Speaker 1: on the way home from your hour long car ride
Speaker 1: from the apple picking place, you'll shit your pants.
Speaker 2: I it's a known thing. I mean, it's a you
Speaker 2: don't want to get. You don't want to chug your
Speaker 2: first half hot apple cider of the season and then
Speaker 2: get on that two hour hay ride with the kids
Speaker 2: and a bunch of strangers. You just don't want to
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 1: We went this was during the pan pandemic, like this
Speaker 1: is probably September twenty twenty, and just going stir crazy
Speaker 1: in the house. Two kids, of course, just like not
Speaker 1: in preschool at all, like nothing, And we went apple picking,
Speaker 1: and of course southern California, it's one hundred and ten degrees,
Speaker 1: so why.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't it be Apples love that temperature.
Speaker 1: Apples love them. And we went apple picking in it
Speaker 1: is about an hour and a half long drive. And
Speaker 1: then we may and then Olive just sat there and
Speaker 1: crunched through apples, making two full gallons of apple cider,
Speaker 1: and then we just weach poured ourselves all like some
Speaker 1: big cups, and everybody drank it including olive. Olive is
Speaker 1: probably two years old at thirty pounds, right, yeah, thirty pounds.
Speaker 1: And then they're like on their way out there, like,
Speaker 1: don't drink the apple cider until you get home. You
Speaker 1: should cut it with with water because otherwise you'll go
Speaker 1: to the bathroom.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, we have an hour long car right home. Luckily,
Speaker 1: Olive wears that was wearing a diaper at that time,
Speaker 1: so it was taken care of by the diaper. But
Speaker 1: we had to stop multiple times on the.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not a great thing. Also, apple picking in
Speaker 2: general maybe the most overrated adult activity. Here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Agree.
Speaker 2: I love walking amongst the trees too. I love smelling
Speaker 2: apple trees. I like being on farms. I'll make a
Speaker 2: scarecrow with anyone anytime, anywhere.
Speaker 1: He's not kidding folks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you bring me some old lee jeans and your
Speaker 2: dad's worst flannel shirt, all stuff at those nylons with
Speaker 2: straw and oh, I don't know, I like it. I
Speaker 2: like that. But something about paying the amount of money
Speaker 2: you pay, and the fanfare and the build up to
Speaker 2: just people getting so pumped to go upstate New York,
Speaker 2: go wherever and pick apples it's too expensive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're and then you do farm work.
Speaker 2: Then you do farm work. I like apples, I will
Speaker 2: I like I like farms. I'm good for two apples
Speaker 2: a week. I can eat two apples a week any.
Speaker 1: Good day, on a good week, three apples a week.
Speaker 1: You're eving with twenty five to fifty five apples that
Speaker 1: you need to do something with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just get carried away. Uh, it is exciting
Speaker 2: when you're a city dweller, when you're a city slicker
Speaker 2: like Crittybye and I. It is nice to be out
Speaker 2: in the countryside, But man, I would just so much
Speaker 2: rather just walk out into the orchard and sit on
Speaker 2: the ground and hang out.
Speaker 1: When you're surrounded by that many apples, you start convincing
Speaker 1: yourself that you're going to do something with the apples.
Speaker 1: Like never, never have I made an apple pie in
Speaker 1: my whole life, But you put me at an apple farm.
Speaker 1: I'm starting to think about how many bags apples I
Speaker 1: need for how many pies I'm gonna make.
Speaker 2: It's a tradition. Maybe this is a very American thing.
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't. I would assume they do this in
Speaker 2: Europe too. We have similar climates. But you know, if
Speaker 2: you're around the world and you're in an international banannimal,
Speaker 2: let us know if apple picking in your fall season
Speaker 2: even exists, because it is a weird thing here where
Speaker 2: you feel pressured to go and just pick thirty apples
Speaker 2: per person so they can die in a bowl on
Speaker 2: your counter in the city that you live in. I did.
Speaker 1: I did after I went apple picking in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: I did write a bit about it where I do.
Speaker 1: I was like, we should have other holidays or seasons
Speaker 1: where we go and do manual labor so that we
Speaker 1: more understand, like where our things come from.
Speaker 2: Bad idea.
Speaker 1: It's not a bad idea where it's like, uh oh,
Speaker 1: it's spring time for the annual work at Amazon for
Speaker 1: a day, bring your pea bottle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. I was doing research for the screenplay,
Speaker 2: and one of the best things about writing movies is
Speaker 2: when you do have to get accurate about things, so
Speaker 2: you get to do a little like you get to
Speaker 2: do a little surface research. Yeah, what do they do
Speaker 2: around the world. So I was looking up different traditions
Speaker 2: for New Year's Eves mm hm, and I was thinking about,
Speaker 2: how is it interesting to be at the equator on
Speaker 2: New Year's Eve? Like it, does it look different? Does
Speaker 2: it feel different? Is it one hundred degrees? I just
Speaker 2: had never heard anybody talk about it, and even so
Speaker 2: I looked up one tradition in Ecuador and that we
Speaker 2: do have ecuador ben Animals, is they do this thing
Speaker 2: where you throw straw men onto a fire at the
Speaker 2: end of the year. And I'm like, boy, oh boy,
Speaker 2: does that not sound like the most fun thing to
Speaker 2: do on New Year's Eve? Maybe build a replica of yourself,
Speaker 2: toss it on the fire.
Speaker 1: Yeah, your old self, burning your old self away because
Speaker 1: it's January first, the arbitrary decision that a new self
Speaker 1: must be birthed.
Speaker 2: I know. And thankfully it rains a ton in La
Speaker 2: you know, over the winters. But it used to always
Speaker 2: be red flag and scary. But I'm like, wouldn't it
Speaker 2: be funny to like rent a house outside of the
Speaker 2: city and tell everybody they have to bring a straw
Speaker 2: replica of themselves and then you just start a bonfire
Speaker 2: and toss it on there. Guys.
Speaker 1: I love that idea.
Speaker 2: Good idea Ecuador. Good idea Ecuador. And if you've ever
Speaker 2: done it, and you're a beautiful Ecuadorian Bananamal. Let us
Speaker 2: know if I sounded like a crazy person because I
Speaker 2: just found it online, it might be false.
Speaker 1: Here we go, Yeah, let's do it. Scientists who discovered
Speaker 1: mammals can breathe through their anuses receiving Nobel Prize.
Speaker 2: As they should.
Speaker 3: This was a CNN dot Com CNN Science Kind of
Speaker 3: Real by Izzy Ronald Ooh funny, Izzy Ronald.
Speaker 2: If you have a boring first name, last name, you
Speaker 2: gotta throw an easy in front of it. Right.
Speaker 1: Oh, I love it? Is he? Ronald is great?
Speaker 2: He is Ronald?
Speaker 1: Is he best in the biz?
Speaker 2: Best in the business.
Speaker 1: The world still holds many unanswered questions, but thanks to
Speaker 1: the efforts of the research day a great beginning is he.
Speaker 1: Thanks to the efforts of the research teams awarded the
Speaker 1: Ignobel Prize on Thursday, some of these questions, which you
Speaker 1: might not even have thought existed, now have answers. We
Speaker 1: now know that mammals can breathe through their anuses. There
Speaker 1: that there isn't an equal probability that a coin will
Speaker 1: land on heads or tails, that some real plants somehow
Speaker 1: imitate the shape of neighboring fake plastic plants, that fake
Speaker 1: medicine which causes painful side effects, can be more effective
Speaker 1: than fake medicine with outside effects, and that many of
Speaker 1: the people famous for reaching lofty old ages lived in
Speaker 1: places that had bad record keeping. I love this. The awards,
Speaker 1: which have no affiliation with the Nobl Prizes, aim to
Speaker 1: quote celebrate the unusual, honor the imaginative, and spur people's
Speaker 1: interest in science, medicine and technology by making people laugh
Speaker 1: then think. In a two hour ceremony as quirky as
Speaker 1: a scientific achievements it was celebrating. Audience members were welcome
Speaker 1: to their seats by accordion music before a safety briefing
Speaker 1: warned them not to sit on before a safety briefing
Speaker 1: warned them not to sit on anyone unless you're a child,
Speaker 1: not to feed, chase, or eat ducks, and to throw
Speaker 1: their paper airplanes safely. There were two paper airplane deluges
Speaker 1: during the ceremony which the audience attempted to throw their
Speaker 1: creation safely at a target in the middle of the stage.
Speaker 1: That's a great idea. That's a great idea for an
Speaker 1: audience wonderful participation event because it looks probably awesome.
Speaker 2: And it feels even better and that's why I am
Speaker 2: obsessed with that sounds fun.
Speaker 1: M They so the people who found out that mammals
Speaker 1: can breathe through their butts, yeah, saying their paper that
Speaker 1: this potentially offers an alternative way of getting oxygen into
Speaker 1: critically ill patients ventilator and artificial lungs supplies run low
Speaker 1: like they did during the COVID nineteen pandemic. That's interesting.
Speaker 1: American psychologist BF Skinner was posthumously awarded the Peace Prize
Speaker 1: for his work attempting to use pigeons to guide the
Speaker 1: flight path of missiles.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, what.
Speaker 1: While a European wide research team was awarded the Probability
Speaker 1: Prize for conducting three hundred and fifty seven hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty seven experiments to demonstrate that a coin tends to
Speaker 1: land on the same side it started when it is flipped,
Speaker 1: which we did here on bananas.
Speaker 2: This is fantastic. This is the kind of research we
Speaker 2: need to know about. I wish I could snorkel without
Speaker 2: needing a snorkel. I wish I could just keep my
Speaker 2: butt above the surface and just explore the deep seas
Speaker 2: and shallow oceans, but.
Speaker 1: Butt down head. But that's how you want to be buried.
Speaker 1: You could still breathe that way.
Speaker 2: I know, you could put a little you could put
Speaker 2: a slide whistle in my dairy air. There's all kinds
Speaker 2: of things you could do. I I once had a
Speaker 2: conversation with a drunk woman in Arkansas.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, this is the beginning of a good story.
Speaker 2: Well it's a medium good story because it's somebody else's story.
Speaker 2: But I was present for it. And so if you're
Speaker 2: an Arkansas bananimal, there used to be you said, b
Speaker 2: F skinner, And there used to be like.
Speaker 1: This best friend skinner, best friend skinner.
Speaker 2: Yeah, best friend skinner, binner, thinner, skinner. The got into behaviorism,
Speaker 2: which I wrote a little paper on. But this drunk
Speaker 2: woman at a bar in Fort Smith, I believe, on
Speaker 2: a road trip, was like, you know, when we were
Speaker 2: kids they had raccoons that could dunk basketballs at a
Speaker 2: zoo And I go really, and she goes yeah. And
Speaker 2: then I said, well, what happened to it? And she goes, oh,
Speaker 2: they had more than that. They had. They would play
Speaker 2: the Titanic song and ducklings would jump off of a
Speaker 2: little boat into a little pond. Yes, And I'm like,
Speaker 2: what is going on? And she said that she just
Speaker 2: kept telling me all these things that when she was
Speaker 2: a kid growing up there, I think in the nineties,
Speaker 2: maybe in the eighties, she said, there was a zoo
Speaker 2: that was about training animals to do insane things, and
Speaker 2: they had a raccoon that would come out to the
Speaker 2: NBA's theme song and would slam dunk a basketball I
Speaker 2: don't know, a mini hoop, and then all you did
Speaker 2: all day was go from exhibit to exhibit of animals
Speaker 2: doing strange human behavior, and most of them had music accompaniment.
Speaker 2: And she said that not only that, that at one
Speaker 2: point the raccoon missed the dunk and they stopped the
Speaker 2: whole show, and all the kids were scared that the
Speaker 2: man who came out to correct the raccoon's going to
Speaker 2: do something bad, and to make up for it, he
Speaker 2: goes it's time to pet the bunny, and then walked
Speaker 2: away around with a bunny and let all the kids
Speaker 2: pet the bunny once and then reset close the curtain
Speaker 2: curtains open, raccoon comes out, picks up a basketball and
Speaker 2: slam dunks it, and everybody goes wild. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: So I thought this was just a drunk rambling hilarious
Speaker 2: local and then like the bartender and another person there
Speaker 2: was like, yeah, that did exist. So I don't know
Speaker 2: what it was called.
Speaker 1: When were you there when.
Speaker 2: Two thousand and seven?
Speaker 1: Oh man, I love that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. It was one of my first road trips where
Speaker 2: I cut down and I was like taking the tent.
Speaker 2: And then another time I did twenty, and then another
Speaker 2: time I did forty. But yeah, I passed through Fort
Speaker 2: Smith because somebody told me they had incredible Vietnamese food
Speaker 2: and they did it, and yeah, I went to a
Speaker 2: locals bar just to mix it up, and this woman
Speaker 2: was just beg. She knew I wasn't from there really
Speaker 2: and she was just trying to give me some local flavor.
Speaker 2: But everyone's like, yeah, that did exist. So if you
Speaker 2: live in Arkansas and you know what I'm talking about
Speaker 2: and you have video from your childhood, share it with us.
Speaker 2: I would love to share it on the Bananas Podcast
Speaker 2: Instagram account.
Speaker 1: I remember once going to this Russian cat circus. Great
Speaker 1: came to New York City probably two thousand one or
Speaker 1: two thousand and two, and it was all cats and
Speaker 1: I think there was one dog and the cats would
Speaker 1: do like amazing things like the classic is like it
Speaker 1: was like one cat pushing a carriage with like two
Speaker 1: baby cats in it, and like walk in and they
Speaker 1: all are wearing two two's for some reason, and then
Speaker 1: like the cats all would get on each other's backs
Speaker 1: and then like the last cat would like run up
Speaker 1: ten cats and get on top of like to make
Speaker 1: like an eleven cat long like column. I mean, they
Speaker 1: were cooking with cat.
Speaker 2: It was amazing, yeah, And I mean if they're if
Speaker 2: the cats love it, fantastic, If the raccoon loved it,
Speaker 2: or that ducklings or the chicken dress like Elvis loved it,
Speaker 2: then great, we couldn't be happier for him. And if not,
Speaker 2: we didn't do it. We were doing, we didn't do it.
Speaker 1: It is It's one of those things where you go, oh,
Speaker 1: I want to see this, and then you think like
Speaker 1: five more minutes about it, like, oh, it can't be
Speaker 1: good for the animals.
Speaker 2: I think at the second improv class I took that
Speaker 2: you were teaching improv one at the pit we had
Speaker 2: that little studio, and I think it was the second
Speaker 2: or third class you had Dion Flynn come in and
Speaker 2: like kind of co teaching you or cop and so
Speaker 2: you're like, Dean, do you want to like warm everybody up?
Speaker 2: And you know, we were doing all the improv games,
Speaker 2: the big booties and the zip zap zops, and then
Speaker 2: Dion was like, yeah, let's do some stretches and some stuff.
Speaker 2: And I'll never forget because he's a really funny guy.
Speaker 2: He's a he's a truly funny man. He said something
Speaker 2: where he was going like, Okay, let's I'll get down
Speaker 2: in a crab position and we're going to tap into
Speaker 2: our root chakra, which I think is your one. I
Speaker 2: think your anus is one or your tail is first
Speaker 2: chakras okay, and I think he was like, and we're
Speaker 2: going to breathe in through the first chakra. We're not
Speaker 2: breathing out of the first chakra. And now let's all
Speaker 2: wiggle our genitals in the air as hard as we
Speaker 2: can and laugh. And I was like, here we go.
Speaker 2: It was like the best class we ever did. But yeah,
Speaker 2: breathe in through the first chakra, but let's not breathe
Speaker 2: out through the first chakra and wiggle your genitals wildly
Speaker 2: in the air and laugh. And why you move to
Speaker 2: New York City there? Right, that's what you want, right?
Speaker 1: A group of twenty other twenty somethings, all just wiggling
Speaker 1: their genitalia in the air with clothes and everyone's loving it.
Speaker 2: Just five aspiring actors to firing writers, five corporate guys
Speaker 2: that dwifes were just like, go be funny or interesting,
Speaker 2: get the fuck out of the house. And then there
Speaker 2: was one woman that left. You must have taught this
Speaker 2: woman ten different times, but she never finished level one.
Speaker 2: I remember she was very lovely and she you were
Speaker 2: definitely knew who she was. And then after the second
Speaker 2: class she never showed up. And I think that was hermo.
Speaker 2: She would come and take your class for two classes
Speaker 2: and then just go party downtown instead and.
Speaker 1: Never and never come back. It was always fascinated, just like, wow,
Speaker 1: you're gonna pay three hundred dollars again, Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: take your money, part it up.
Speaker 2: Breathe in through the first chakra, do not breathe out
Speaker 2: of the first chakra. Okay. I got one. Uh doctor Morgan, zipperly,
Speaker 2: zipperly listen. She we hung out with her after our
Speaker 2: first Denver comedy work show. I think across the street,
Speaker 2: what's that place called the Front Porch or something. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Denver's fineness didn't come to Banana fest hates. The podcast
Speaker 2: sent this in Man buys Man buys three hundred and
Speaker 2: ninety five thousand dollars dream home, knowing it will get
Speaker 2: swallowed by the ocean. Oh okay, interesting, this is a
Speaker 2: This one is a you know, bring it up at
Speaker 2: your trivia night with your friends. Yes, it's an educational
Speaker 2: podcast and it's a fun thing to debate.
Speaker 1: As someone who wants to live near the ocean. I
Speaker 1: have thought about this idea a lot. Please continue, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about that.
Speaker 2: The Malibu neighborhood where you and I have hung out,
Speaker 2: that is definitely gonna be underwater. So Metro UK written
Speaker 2: by the best in the friggin' biz, Jessica Kwong. I
Speaker 2: love that, Jessica Kwang.
Speaker 1: Mm meat, are you kidding me? Bring the men she's
Speaker 1: moving in.
Speaker 2: And if your house is falling in the ocean, you
Speaker 2: want Jessica in your front yard, just typing up an
Speaker 2: accurate account of what's going on to you. For one,
Speaker 2: man being told that the dream home he always wanted
Speaker 2: to buy would fall into the ocean was a moot point.
Speaker 2: David Moot fifty nine, The Best in the Bed God,
Speaker 2: she went there and it worked. David Moot, fifty nine,
Speaker 2: had been vacation in Cape Cod, Massachusetts for over two
Speaker 2: decades and never imagined that he could afford to buy
Speaker 2: a beach front house there. And then he spotted a
Speaker 2: listing for a home with an asking price of just
Speaker 2: three hundred and ninety five thousand dollars with a catch.
Speaker 2: The home at one five seven brown Ale Road in
Speaker 2: Eastam or Eastam, was only twenty five feet or seven
Speaker 2: point six meters from a sand bluff crumbling into the sea.
Speaker 2: Due to rising sea levels and erosion, the ocean was
Speaker 2: encroaching on the home at about three feet per year mean,
Speaker 2: meaning his house could be swallowed by the sea within
Speaker 2: a decade. Still, Moot snatched it up. He said, life's
Speaker 2: too short. And I just said to myself, let's just
Speaker 2: see what happens. Told Bloomberg last month. It's going to
Speaker 2: fall into the ocean eventually, and it may or may
Speaker 2: not be in my lifetime. Again, this man's fifty nine, yeah,
Speaker 2: so he could live another forty. Yeah, But I kind
Speaker 2: of admire him for rolling the dice here. It's crazy.
Speaker 2: I mean, I personally would not do it, but Easton
Speaker 2: which has been dubbed the Gateway to Cape Cod National
Speaker 2: Seashore Beautiful area, is vulnerable to more storms driven by
Speaker 2: warmer water, warmer ocean temperatures, and climate chains. Communities are
Speaker 2: at risk there of going underwater. Quote it's just a
Speaker 2: matter of time before we can get the property values
Speaker 2: to go down and quote. University of North Carolina, Wilmington
Speaker 2: oceanography professor Dylan McNamara told Bloomberg. How they go down,
Speaker 2: whether it's precipitous drop off a cliff, or it's a
Speaker 2: smoother or unwinding That does sound a smooth unwinding down
Speaker 2: a smooth or unwinding Ooh, I might smoothly unwind it
Speaker 2: to a bath to nice.
Speaker 1: Just I just imagined the house just kind of going
Speaker 1: down a sand drain.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just George Benson plan just easing in. They'll uh,
Speaker 2: it's still up in the air. Moot purchased the potentially
Speaker 2: doomed home at sixty sixty seven percent less yeah than
Speaker 2: the amount the seller listed it for in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2: And that's what's interesting, Like how far could he have
Speaker 2: driven this person? Right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, nobody's going to
Speaker 2: buy that house.
Speaker 1: Like no, Also, my question is is, like, I'm assuming
Speaker 1: this mister Moot has the cash to just buy it.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming because if this in seven years, if the
Speaker 1: house goes under and he needs to pay off a
Speaker 1: three hundred thousand dollars loan for like the next thirty
Speaker 1: years for the rest of his life, yeah, that's.
Speaker 2: Gonna be pretty nothing, right, absolutely nothing. Yeah, I certainly
Speaker 2: can't ensure it. There's no way that you can ensure
Speaker 2: this house. So moot. He still faces costs a homeowner,
Speaker 2: including nearly four thousand dollars a year in property taxes.
Speaker 2: A pittance come to come to California.
Speaker 1: Go to New Jersey, baby, you know.
Speaker 2: We think it's Maryland.
Speaker 1: New Jersey's New Jersey. I think is the highest in
Speaker 1: the entire country. I think it's like two point five
Speaker 1: percent or twenty five percent or whatever.
Speaker 2: Grand a year, you lucky dog. Yeah, and about the
Speaker 2: same amount insurance that does not cover damages from erosion.
Speaker 2: The Pittsburgh resident plans to front the bills, in part
Speaker 2: by renting the house out so others will also have
Speaker 2: a chance to enjoy the serene property and the whole
Speaker 2: aura about the panoramic view of the ocean, Moot has
Speaker 2: decided to take a gamble and conclude it. There's pros
Speaker 2: and cons and negatives and positive in everything in life.
Speaker 1: Yes, I like this guy's attitude, Like I.
Speaker 2: Don't know how to sew okay. I everything's really expensive,
Speaker 2: Like all rents are expensive, Boston is super expensive. I'm
Speaker 2: sure the cape is crazy expensive.
Speaker 1: It's insane.
Speaker 2: If he gets ten years out of this house, yeah,
Speaker 2: and so thirty nine thousand dollars a year, Yeah, divided
Speaker 2: by twelve.
Speaker 1: That's like renting for three thousand dollars a month. That's
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking, thirty two hundred dollars a month to
Speaker 1: live on the beach. You can't live on the beach
Speaker 1: for thirty two hundred dollars a month.
Speaker 2: No, it's like he he won't be able to sell
Speaker 2: the house again. Yeah, but if he can get ten
Speaker 2: years on the beach, yeah, in kPa, it's worth three thousand.
Speaker 2: That's what I was thinking, Like is it it's.
Speaker 1: I think it's worth it. I totally think it's worth
Speaker 1: The thing is is like one year in to living
Speaker 1: on the beach, to living with the ocean in your
Speaker 1: front yard, it's already worth it. In my bed, like
Speaker 1: it's so I want to live at the beach, so
Speaker 1: goddamn bad. I was looking there's an area venture.
Speaker 2: That we want to Yeah, I love it too. Oh
Speaker 2: that'd be fun.
Speaker 1: And the prices have all just precipitously dropped because last
Speaker 1: winter one of the streets flooded pretty badly and it
Speaker 1: was the first time I think venture in that area
Speaker 1: has ever had flooding from the beach because the ocean
Speaker 1: is like very far away in those sections. It's a
Speaker 1: very big wine. And then all of a sudden boom,
Speaker 1: like everything was like like you know, two million dollars
Speaker 1: and now everything's like one point six million dollars, and
Speaker 1: it was like, wow, it just like dropped overnight. And
Speaker 1: I'm just sitting there going like, at what point do
Speaker 1: you like, go for it and buy a house even
Speaker 1: though you know in twenty five years of underwater, I know,
Speaker 1: and then try and get twenty five great Yet like,
Speaker 1: at what price point is twenty five years of living
Speaker 1: there worth it?
Speaker 2: Yeah? If you you didn't have kids, if you have
Speaker 2: to leave anything behind, like and I'm trying to live
Speaker 2: to be one hundred and ten, which is sort of
Speaker 2: like having a child because I'm gonna have to afford
Speaker 2: like twenty years of life. So I can't go do it,
Speaker 2: but I we two things. One I got really safety
Speaker 2: ninety to one hundred and ten.
Speaker 1: You're just alone. Everyone you know is dead. That's fine,
Speaker 1: twenty full years you could have two separate careers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and where everyone you know is God.
Speaker 2: Your kids will be in their eighties and I'll still
Speaker 2: treat them like little babies all the time. No, I
Speaker 2: know it. But so two things. One you and I took.
Speaker 2: We went to Caskaskia, which used to be the capital
Speaker 2: of Illinois and now had how many people? Fourteen people,
Speaker 2: twelve people? It was a crazy phone number.
Speaker 1: Eleven people. It was the smallest town in Illinois.
Speaker 2: But what so there's this town and then every it
Speaker 2: used to be like twenty years, but now I think
Speaker 2: it's like every five. It would just flood, just flood.
Speaker 2: And everybody was like, we're sick of rebuilding. We don't
Speaker 2: care how fertile this farmland is. So there were only
Speaker 2: eleven residents. There's a beautiful church. Everybody couldn't been friendlier,
Speaker 2: and we took them all gifts.
Speaker 1: And then one person had built their house. That's right,
Speaker 1: Is this what you're going to talk about. Go ahead,
Speaker 1: you They built the house. I think it was three
Speaker 1: stories up, so was all just like a metal walkway, yeah,
Speaker 1: pole barn. Yeah, like imagine one story up, two story up,
Speaker 1: three stories up. Yep, then that must be like it's
Speaker 1: more expensive the higher you go up to build that
Speaker 1: sort of structure. They just took their whole house and
Speaker 1: put it thirty fucking feet in the air, and it
Speaker 1: must flood by twenty five feet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean. They were the youngest
Speaker 2: people there. There were family. It was two parents and
Speaker 2: two kids, and they just like, we're staying and so
Speaker 2: they built their house thirty feet in the air.
Speaker 1: And we and the bit that we were doing, yeah,
Speaker 1: the bit we were doing was that we were just
Speaker 1: going to bring a cake to every single person in
Speaker 1: the townleven cakes, because it's like, when else can you
Speaker 1: give a cake to every person in a town, except
Speaker 1: when the town has eleven people in it. And then
Speaker 1: the bit was made very awkward as I had to.
Speaker 1: And now also I'm walking around in a tuxedo wetsuit
Speaker 1: with a an I film crew, with a small film
Speaker 1: crew and a life life jacket on that is also
Speaker 1: part of the tuxedo outfit, so I look like an
Speaker 1: idiot and I have to walk up. Mostly it was
Speaker 1: just walking up to people's house, ringing their doorbell, seeing
Speaker 1: if they're home, given them a cake. This is a
Speaker 1: three story walk up, yes on agrading to then ring
Speaker 1: their door bell to offer them a cake.
Speaker 2: They were happy about it. Everybody accepted, everybody was home accepted.
Speaker 2: We probably gave up seven of the eleven cakes. And
Speaker 2: then yeah, we gave them a billboard with kittens jumping
Speaker 2: out of a cake that said Kaskaskia.
Speaker 1: We're doing fine.
Speaker 2: We're doing fine. And they were so happy, they cried,
Speaker 2: they hugged. It was a wonderful moment. The other story
Speaker 2: is and so we Kurtibe and I have a friend
Speaker 2: who got to know this gentleman whose dad built a
Speaker 2: wooden house like a sea shack shanty, a small beautiful
Speaker 2: house up in Malibu in like the fifties. So when
Speaker 2: he built it, nobody wanted to live there, which is
Speaker 2: crazy to think in seventy years now, every property there's insane.
Speaker 1: Well, the ocean like the ocean and waterways in general.
Speaker 1: I always think about this because if you look at
Speaker 1: any like old city, all of their like junk shit
Speaker 1: is built on the river because it was that the
Speaker 1: river was just the sewage system. Yeah, the river was
Speaker 1: a sewage system. The ocean wasn't very you know, it
Speaker 1: was just like scary. People didn't go swimming. People thought
Speaker 1: the ocean just wanted to kill you. Like water was
Speaker 1: just such a It's the crazy how much we love
Speaker 1: it now and how much we're terrified of it.
Speaker 2: Then, well, most of there's still so many people that
Speaker 2: don't know how to swim. Like swimming, it was such
Speaker 2: like a privileged thing to be, like, and we can swim,
Speaker 2: we can read, and we can swim.
Speaker 1: There's so many Instagram accounts that I get fed of
Speaker 1: people just being like the ocean it's fucking terrifying, and
Speaker 1: then like showing something and it's just like that's just
Speaker 1: like a whale shark, Like that's just like the most
Speaker 1: harmless animal in the ocean. He eats blanked in and krill.
Speaker 2: You know, I would love to see one up close.
Speaker 1: It would be amazing. But I would love if one
Speaker 1: ate me by accident, that be in the mouth of
Speaker 1: a whale shark?
Speaker 2: Are you kidding? Every We would tell that story every
Speaker 2: live show till the podcast ended Tell a Shark one
Speaker 2: again the whale Shark Kirk Gotswa by Shark. It's bit out,
Speaker 2: but so on the same beach where you and I
Speaker 2: get to hang out every now and then I found
Speaker 2: out that that is where the Kanye West house that
Speaker 2: he bought a man or I think sixty eight million
Speaker 2: dollars and is now for sale for fifty million or
Speaker 2: forty million or something. That house is there and it
Speaker 2: has been abandoned. It is insane, like we all looked
Speaker 2: up to and it, but it is the only one
Speaker 2: on that stretch that it was built so deep and
Speaker 2: it's it's like block brutalis looking concrete. It's kind of
Speaker 2: made to endure the next fifty years of it'll be.
Speaker 2: The waves already come under it every day at high tide.
Speaker 2: But we were walking by it a few times, me
Speaker 2: and Molly, just hanging out, having a couple of drinks,
Speaker 2: and I just walked right inside the house. I just walked, yeah,
Speaker 2: from the beach there stairs, and it is truly abandoned
Speaker 2: and the feeling of extreme when you're faced with extreme
Speaker 2: wealth and then you see what it is and it's nothing.
Speaker 2: It's a shell. It's an empty, windowless, wireless, no plumbing house.
Speaker 2: The front door and the garage are locked, and somebody
Speaker 2: had spay painted something on the garage at the time.
Speaker 2: But I just walked right up the stairs off the
Speaker 2: beach and kind of like was able to like look
Speaker 2: around in this abandoned house and I'm like, so this
Speaker 2: is sixty million dollars. Yeah, the amount of good the
Speaker 2: amount of people that if you said I'm going to
Speaker 2: give you, you could give one hundred and twenty people
Speaker 2: five hundred thousand dollars, a truly life changing amount.
Speaker 1: Of money, truly life changing amount of money.
Speaker 2: Or you have an abandoned house that uh, people make
Speaker 2: fun of when they walk around.
Speaker 1: Well, the craziest part is that it wasn't an abandoned
Speaker 1: house when he bought it.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 1: He bought this like architect, I believe. Yeah, it's like
Speaker 1: there's not that Like this architect is incredibly famous and
Speaker 1: he he doesn't do that many houses. And then there's
Speaker 1: something that kind of didn't like about it. So he
Speaker 1: ripped out every single thing that was in the house
Speaker 1: and then ran out of money and couldn't do anything
Speaker 1: with it. And so now it's worth like he just
Speaker 1: like destroyed a house and now no one's gonna buy
Speaker 1: it for fifty million dollars in Malibu.
Speaker 2: That dude needs some better help, no shit, no shit. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's just weird when you're faced with that kind of wealth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, is just useless.
Speaker 2: It's infuriating.
Speaker 1: That is what drives me fucking I mean, I have
Speaker 1: a whole bit about it on my last album, But
Speaker 1: about billion, yeah, it's good. It's just like it just
Speaker 1: makes me so angry that these people, like the people
Speaker 1: who are funding all this right wing insanity, like they're
Speaker 1: just they have so much money that they don't won't
Speaker 1: they won't notice, they won't. There's no impact on their
Speaker 1: life if they get an extra billion dollars on top
Speaker 1: of one hundred billion dollars, there's no impact. It's I know,
Speaker 1: and and to other normal people it makes so much difference.
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty wild Florida. Man, there we go.

Speaker 1: rage incident. I'll tell you what, Scottie. This was sent
Speaker 1: in by the inimitable Portia Astra Davis. Thank you Porsche. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this was in the Independent, so you know it's real that.
Speaker 2: I was in the same joke. I was going to say, Amen, Medium, this.
Speaker 1: Is by Amelia Neath. No, everybody's underneath Amelia neath, because
Speaker 1: she's the top of the bunch. Okay, there we go,
Speaker 1: there we go, Amelia, thanks for writing this. Florida man
Speaker 1: has been arrested after fleeing pasta with sauce at another
Speaker 1: driver in a bizarre road rage. Nolan Goins, forty six,
Speaker 1: was arrested on Thursday on a misdemeanor of simple mattery.
Speaker 1: Jail records show that he allegedly got caught up in
Speaker 1: a road rage incident over glaring headlights. I can understand it, Nolan.
Speaker 1: Mister Goins was traveling along Park Street near Bay Pines
Speaker 1: Boulevard in Saint Petersburg, Florida, at around nine pm when
Speaker 1: the glare from a driver's headlights sparked a road rage incident.
Speaker 1: According to an arrest Affidavid, While the traffic was still moving,
Speaker 1: mister Goins purportedly threw pasta with sauce from passenger side, hilarious,
Speaker 1: hurling the food out of his open window hitting another
Speaker 1: person who was driving at the time. Windows open, two
Speaker 1: moving vehicles. He threw a bowl of pasta and hit
Speaker 1: the person. Miracle amazing.
Speaker 2: Not a traditional driving food. Not pasta, you know, not
Speaker 2: famously you get a bean burrito. Easy driving food, fun.
Speaker 1: Even easy and easy to throw into a window.
Speaker 2: Like a torpedo. You kidd me. I could be going
Speaker 2: sixty one way, you could be going sixty other I'll
Speaker 2: hit you in the mouth.
Speaker 1: But a bowl of pasta much more difficult.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of wind, there's a lot of friction.
Speaker 1: And it doesn't say that the that he actually threw
Speaker 1: a bowl. He just threw pasta with sauce.
Speaker 2: Ye mean, no bosta. He had that classic lap pasta.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: While the driver was hit on his own arms, legs
Speaker 1: and torso, the pasta did not leave any injuries.
Speaker 2: Well that's I'm glad it's not scalding hot. We can say, okay,
Speaker 2: it seems like the worst case is it would be.
Speaker 1: Scalding hot and would burn you exactly.
Speaker 2: No, that is a true assault.
Speaker 1: Mister Goins was later found with the same food stains
Speaker 1: on the right sleeve of his shirt. The arrest record
Speaker 1: set so That means he just grabbed it, he handed it,
Speaker 1: he grabbed it by the hands, and just threw it
Speaker 1: out the wind. Think about how fast you have to
Speaker 1: see very bright headlights, be eating pasta. Get upset? Decide
Speaker 1: then stick your hand into the bowl of fosta your eating.
Speaker 1: Throw it out the passenger side window over your own car,
Speaker 1: really good, into the driver's side window of a passing car.
Speaker 2: All of it.
Speaker 1: This guy, I bet you he played He must have
Speaker 1: played sports in high school.
Speaker 2: Hey, they have a lot of good baseball teams down
Speaker 2: there and floor a lot of spring training. Maybe that
Speaker 2: guy used to be a minor league pitcher for the
Speaker 2: you know, Fort Lauderdale Linguini tossers.
Speaker 1: All right, this is insane. This food fueled road rage
Speaker 1: incident is bizarrely not the first to occur recently that
Speaker 1: involves pasta.
Speaker 2: I mean, yes, good.
Speaker 1: Just over a week before in Indianapolis, the police, of course,
Speaker 1: it's Indianapolis police showed up at the scene of a
Speaker 1: road raid engine incident with a woman uh covered in spaghetti.
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Metropolitan Police were called to the scene on seventeenth
Speaker 1: of April after a driver reported that a woman in
Speaker 1: a GMC SUV was following her and flashing a gun.
Speaker 2: Well that's not good.
Speaker 1: That's not fun. The woman allegedly nearly hit the woman's
Speaker 1: car and tailgated her. Then she threw a container of
Speaker 1: spaghetti into the victim's open windows.
Speaker 2: See crazy, that's fine, that's great. We don't need guns.
Speaker 2: We need pasta, exactly, we need luke warm pasta.
Speaker 1: Lukewarm pasta.
Speaker 2: It should be like, if you get caught, it should
Speaker 2: be like, I don't know, one hundred dollars fine, or
Speaker 2: like two hours of community service, like it's fine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like two hours of you having to listen to people.
Speaker 1: Go come on, come on, come on, man, come on,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people people, come on, pasta.
Speaker 2: Come on, come on, really, come on, come on. My
Speaker 2: first car. Remember when we all had to move out here.
Speaker 2: I guess you did? You have your mom's car?
Speaker 1: I did at that time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I so I bought a Volkswagen Jetta Wagon. I
Speaker 2: wanted a little sport wagon. I didn't have a ton
Speaker 2: of loot cakes. So I got a used Jetta wagon.
Speaker 2: And the first or second time I took it through
Speaker 2: a car wash without me knowing the the little cap
Speaker 2: on the back of the rear windshield wiper knocked off
Speaker 2: happens all the time. But what I didn't know is
Speaker 2: the way that if you go to clean your rear
Speaker 2: window with that white bird and like the spray that
Speaker 2: that little plastic thing sprays it onto the window, and
Speaker 2: so if it's gone, it just shoots twenty five feet
Speaker 2: directly straight back. So the first time I went to clean,
Speaker 2: it just sprayed the car behind me like I was
Speaker 2: peeing on an enemy. And then I was like, I'm
Speaker 2: not fixing this. I'm gonna spray my friends. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: spray people that honk at me. You know those people
Speaker 2: that as soon as the light turns green. So I did.
Speaker 2: I had that car ended up being a lemon, and
Speaker 2: I ended up getting rid of it within a year.
Speaker 2: But for a year, if you tooted your horn at me,
Speaker 2: as soon as the light turn green, I just sprayed
Speaker 2: you with a rocket a winch of wiper fluid. And
Speaker 2: it was so funny to me. The smallest part on
Speaker 2: a car gave me the greatest rooster tail. It was
Speaker 2: like a way runner. It was so funny. God, it
Speaker 2: made me so happy.
Speaker 1: Oh I love it. I love it. And also it's
Speaker 1: plausible deniability that you just didn't know.
Speaker 2: Oh dude, I just went to the car wash. I'm
Speaker 2: so sorry, man. I mean, it's just gonna clean your windshield.
Speaker 2: It's fine, but it was so good. Do you remember
Speaker 2: have you ever been to Dantanna's. Yeah, I've been with
Speaker 2: you too. Yeah, yeah we did go, didn't we?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: No, no, I've been.
Speaker 1: I've been to Dantanna's without you.
Speaker 2: I just yeah, but we should go. It's a it's
Speaker 2: a West Hollywood institution. It's a very small red sauce
Speaker 2: Italian joint where a lot of celebrities go. The food
Speaker 2: is not good, not great. The scene is incredible.
Speaker 1: The scene is the bar is fun. There's always a woman,
Speaker 1: older woman dressed very well at the bar talking to
Speaker 1: like a twenty four year old muscular man who's wearing
Speaker 1: almost no shirt and a cowboy hat. A lot is
Speaker 1: like what is happening at did Tanna's.
Speaker 2: There is a matre d that is just in a tuxedo,
Speaker 2: and if you are a regular or you were a
Speaker 2: famous person, he just cuts you right to the front line,
Speaker 2: as they should. Well, one night I went to go
Speaker 2: with Karen and Bridger and we had a reservation and
Speaker 2: they kept sitting famous people before us, So we just
Speaker 2: went and ate Indian food instead at a place that
Speaker 2: said it was Dolly Parton's favorite chicken Tika Marsala in
Speaker 2: the world. So it was a teachable moment and we
Speaker 2: got a story out of it. But during a lockdown
Speaker 2: twenty twenty, I still had an personal Instagram account, and
Speaker 2: I realized everybody was scared and nervous and really stressed out.
Speaker 2: So I decide instead of posting photos of you know,
Speaker 2: baked bread or puzzles finished or long hair, that I
Speaker 2: was going to just post nonsense for a week at
Speaker 2: a time. And so one week I just posted celebrities
Speaker 2: eating spaghetti and meat Pauls.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Every day I would just google celebrity eating spaghetti meatballs
Speaker 2: and I would find Jessica Alba or whoever. And one
Speaker 2: day I got one of Sophia Virgara, the beautiful and
Speaker 2: talented Sophia Virgara. She's smiling, she's holding pastaup with huge meatballs,
Speaker 2: and she's clearly at Dantana's and I think people enjoyed it.
Speaker 2: And then two days later my cousin was like, dude,
Speaker 2: my dad, So my uncle called him and was like,
Speaker 2: that is so crazy that Scottie got Sophia Vargar to
Speaker 2: pose with a bowl of spaghetti and meatballs for his
Speaker 2: instagram this instagram, and I was like, do not correct him,
Speaker 2: because one, I'm not leaving my house. I'm terrified too.
Speaker 2: If I knew Sophia Bargara and had enough influence over
Speaker 2: her to I don't know, eat pasta during a pandemic
Speaker 2: and smile and full hair and makeup a boy, I
Speaker 2: would have a lot bigger house. It was so funny.
Speaker 2: It was like the reality of social media is like, well, yeah,
Speaker 2: and the day before was Robert Downey Junior eating spaghetti
Speaker 2: and meatballs. I don't know either of them. Sadly, I
Speaker 2: would love that. Joanna Swan sent this in thank you,
Speaker 2: Joanna Swan. Delta is reminding prospective flight attendants that they
Speaker 2: must wear underwear to their job interviews. This one.
Speaker 1: This is such a confusing one.
Speaker 2: Yeahoo news Norah Redmond best in the panty reporting business.
Speaker 2: Delta Airlines has told prospective flight attendants participating in the
Speaker 2: company's latest interview rounds that they must wear proper underwear.
Speaker 2: A leak document detailing the airline's appearance requirements for applicants
Speaker 2: interviewing to work at the airline was viewed by travel
Speaker 2: news site Paddle your Own Canoe canoe spelled k A
Speaker 2: n o oh, Okay, okay, it's probably very good. The
Speaker 2: document reminded candidates to wear undergarments that are not visible
Speaker 2: when attending in person assessments such does that.
Speaker 1: So here's the right, So here's long about thong above
Speaker 1: the That's what I at first thought, Yeah, I assume
Speaker 1: that's what it means.
Speaker 2: Waist line.
Speaker 1: The waistline is got the frail tail, long, low cut
Speaker 1: pants with with I thought, that's what I'm assuming because
Speaker 1: it seems weird to be like, you have to wear underwear,
Speaker 1: but we can't see any panty lines, you know, like
Speaker 1: visible through your pants. Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like that seems like a double a double message.
Speaker 2: I agree, it must be people are rock and thongs,
Speaker 2: high waisted thongs, I guess, so what just a nut.
Speaker 2: But it's crazy to wear to do a job interview.
Speaker 1: It's so crazy to wear do a job interview. It
Speaker 1: almost seems more like, if that's it, you need kind
Speaker 1: of some more information like what to wear, because it
Speaker 1: really just sounds like people are not wearing underwear. That's
Speaker 1: what it sounds like.
Speaker 2: How would you know?
Speaker 1: And how would you know? Like what's happening at these
Speaker 1: job interviews is really raises so many more questions there is.
Speaker 2: It a basic instinct situation where nine men are staring
Speaker 2: at one woman who crosses and uncrosses her legs. Honestly,
Speaker 2: we don't know. We've never been flight attendants. No, we
Speaker 2: have a lot of flight attendant listeners. Shout out to
Speaker 2: flight attendants. It's probably gotten a little better in the
Speaker 2: last couple of years, but man, people are just jerks
Speaker 2: on airplanes.
Speaker 1: They really are. It's fucking crazy. I'm always being extra
Speaker 1: nice if you're trapped in a tube with someone, being
Speaker 1: extra nice to the people trapped in the tube with you.
Speaker 2: Delta, though, you can tell when you're what hubs you're
Speaker 2: coming through and what flight teams say loud. If you
Speaker 2: get that lax to Atlanta, man, you are getting some
Speaker 2: top oh the line flight attendants. These people are so
Speaker 2: they're so good that I feel bad turning them away.
Speaker 2: They're like another cocktail and I'm like.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2: They're like you sure, And I'm like, oh, do you
Speaker 2: want me to have one like, do you enjoy watching
Speaker 2: me slug these down? In the interest of transparency and
Speaker 2: clarity for all prospective candidates, we are encouraging people to
Speaker 2: dress for success and.
Speaker 1: Give test of clarity. Like that's the craziest part. This
Speaker 1: is the most confusing thing you could possibly say.
Speaker 2: I know, my friend Mel does casting for reality shows.
Speaker 2: I might I have mentioned this long time ago, but
Speaker 2: she has a really hard time casting reality shows because
Speaker 2: people refuse to zoom with her without filters on, refuse
Speaker 2: to send photos where they aren't filtered, to the point
Speaker 2: where she's like, hey, great, the interview is awesome, the
Speaker 2: producers really like you, but we do need to see
Speaker 2: you without a face tune, and they go, oh, okay,
Speaker 2: so sorry, and then they send another filter pace.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's crazy, she says.
