One thing I did 42 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 2: notice on this little adventure was that selfie sticks are 43 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 2: apparently back, and I'm not for it, but I've seen 44 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 2: more selfie sticks than I could imagine. 45 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: That's shocking.

I mean, obviously there's some 50 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 2: wonder for people, and we have big trees, there's some 51 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 2: good things going on. We own more dogs than anywhere 52 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 2: else in the world. I do know, that's really true. Also, yeah, 53 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 2: Americans have more dogs per capita than any other country 54 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 2: in the world. Wow, pets not like wild dogs. 55 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 1: No, do not get it. That's interesting. It makes sense, 56 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: I guess. 57 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 2: But boy, you know, we don't smoke cigarettes in America. 58 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 2: And let me tell you, Kurt, everywhere else in the 59 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 2: world just never gave them up. They're big, friend, It's amazing, right, 60 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 2: they can't get enough. It doesn't matter. Sitting in a 61 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 2: cafe where it's all internationals, it's Australians, it's French, it's 62 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 2: everybody in every direction, everybody's smoking, and you go, boy, 63 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 2: you never see this anymore in the United States. 64 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: You don't. But but here's the question I have, Like, 65 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: thank you, we're not doing America not doing great as 66 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: far as like longevity is compared to other countries. Like 67 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: we're doing the worst like we're doing like the worst 68 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: of like the ones we compete with. 69 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 2: You know, yeah, I have a feeling we have great doctors. 70 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 2: I think that's why we're doing pretty good is because 71 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 2: I do think we have really really but I. 72 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: Mean, we got rid of smoking, we got of smoking. 73 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: We're still not killing it in the longevity game. These 74 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: other countries that are still smoking and loving it, drinking 75 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: every day, eating chocolate, they're doing fine. I have a 76 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: feeling that maybe anyway, I'll look for any reason to 77 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: be like, I wish you to smoke. 78 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 2: But wait, what were your what were your high school cigarettes?

Do you remember Jacks? 85 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 2: No, I don't remember that one.

But 309 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 2: it would have been really funny if around twenty twenty 310 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 2: two or two, Well, twenty twenty two is perfect. If 311 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 2: you and I had secretly got in Brazilian butt lifts 312 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 2: and then gone on tour and just had gigantic dump 313 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 2: truck butts, just two extremely normal white guys, middle of 314 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 2: the road, white men with just absolute you can see 315 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 2: it from the front butt. We would have sold out. 316 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 2: We would have sold more tickets, I'll say it that way. 317 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 1: Never talked, never mentioned it. 318 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, our regular demographic of whatever it is, seven percent women, 319 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 2: that demographic would have shifted a little bit, I think. 320 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 2: But I'm glad we did. And I think they're the 321 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 2: most dangerous surgery can get, Is it really? I think so. 322 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,440 Speaker 2: I don't think it's a good one, damn. But don't 323 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 2: you want to go down in one of those super 324 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 2: deep subs, but not one of the Ocean Gate ones. 325 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 1: I don't. I've thought about this a lot, and I 326 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 1: don't know if I actually do, because as a kid, 327 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 1: I definitely wanted to until I realized that, like it's 328 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 1: like most descents, they take like eight to ten hours. 329 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: That's to get down to the bottom. It is eight 330 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: to ten hours. And then you get down there and. 331 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 2: It's just dark, that's true. 332 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: And then to come back up it takes even longer 333 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 1: to get back up, and then you have to sit 334 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: in a decompression chamber for like three days. Like that's 335 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,360 Speaker 1: I don't think I do. I don't think it's worth 336 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: it to go look at just like the dark. 337 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's probably true. We probably because of YouTube dot com, 338 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 2: which is a new website if anyone's to check out, 339 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:28,199 Speaker 2: very cool one on there.

I don't understand it. I don't 372 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 1: understand it. But I cannot wait to get out of 373 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: this apartment, get into a house where she can not 374 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 1: have to hear people walking through the hall every five minutes. 375 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, smell a million smells. You and I for Kurt's birthday. 376 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 2: We've talked about it before when we did the Donkey 377 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 2: Train or the Mule Chain, which is like one of 378 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 2: the last places in California that does it, if not 379 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 2: the last, and basically they carry up a majority of 380 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 2: your supplies with this classic famous mule train. 381 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: The mule train is specifically folks for if you're going 382 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: camping at this place, then you give your stuff to 383 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: these mules and the mules will take it up for you. 384 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: They don't do it by themselves. There's a person who 385 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: walks with them. 386 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 2: But there's a man. Yeah, his name's Michael Mule and 387 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 2: he just was born to do these things. But we 388 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 2: were laughing because I forever whatever reason, Zelda was barking 389 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 2: at the lodge or whatever when somebody's playing ping pong 390 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 2: and Kurt we were a little enhanced probably, and we 391 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,399 Speaker 2: were like, well, of course, because the sound of a 392 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 2: ping pong ball to a dog is like like giant 393 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 2: slamming doors back and forth. Just it's like pop pop pop, 394 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 2: It's so cute, but to a dog is like like 395 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 2: some I'm so sorry, little one, little puppy. Do you 396 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 2: remember we were playing what's that game where you put 397 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 2: like names or people names and thing celebrity. We were 398 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 2: playing Celebrity and. 399 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: Because Gilly Bernie Sanders. 400 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 2: Was one of the clues, and so the first person 401 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 2: you fold it, you basically write people of note on 402 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 2: little piece of paper, you throw them in a hat, 403 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,199 Speaker 2: you scramble them up, and then two teams go against 404 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 2: each other to act out and try to guess. It's 405 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 2: like charades for celebrities. You've played it, you know what 406 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 2: it is. But Bernie Sanders was one of them, and 407 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 2: whoever went first just swirled their hand above their head 408 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 2: because Bernie's got a big comb over or whatever. And 409 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 2: one person radically was just like Bernie Sanders, and they're 410 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 2: like yes, and so for the rest of the night, 411 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 2: for three more hours of drunken celebrity, anytime anybody pulled 412 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 2: Bernie Sanders, they would just swirl their head, And I'm like, 413 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 2: that's something. There's communication happening here. That's like that non 414 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:19,159 Speaker 2: verbal communication where everybody instantly knows what's going on. I 415 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 2: feel like that is such a I feel like that's 416 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 2: a way to win people over. And uh oh, interesting 417 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 2: to figure out the bananas version of that. 418 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: Uh huh a. 419 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,199 Speaker 2: Single simple gesture where everybody goes, oh, I know what 420 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 2: they're referring to. 421 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: Or is there like a single simple gesture that immediately 422 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 1: when you walk in a room makes people feel at 423 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 1: ease with you? Do you know what I mean? Mine 424 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: is dropping to the floor and squatting. 425 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 2: Yes, mine is scrambling on roller skates and throwing an 426 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 2: empty tea set up into the air and. 427 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: Then catching each piece one at a time as it slowly.

Fifteen years later. This action turned into 446 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 2: a beautiful love story that sounds like something out of 447 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,640 Speaker 2: a romantic novel.

But Operation Christmas Child is too aggressive. 463 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,919 Speaker 2: Sounds like you're delivering babies. We didn't want this. 464 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 1: Child, just like a giant cannon shaped like a like 465 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 1: a Christmas tree. 466 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 2: But we can't afford this thing. 467 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: Got a baby? 468 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 2: Oh, he's saying.

Very sweet. I actually remember doing this 472 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 2: back at Sacred Heart in Glindon. 473 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 1: It definitely sounds like, yeah, it sounds like Catholic thing. 474 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, Catholic Schoolkio. It's like we're saving the world. Now, 475 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 2: let's release four hundred balloons directly into the oceancension Thursday 476 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 2: or whatever that day is. The boy chose a cowboy picture, 477 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 2: put it inside the box, and the parcel was sent 478 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:43,919 Speaker 2: to the Philippines. 479 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: He chose a cowboy picture. 480 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 2: I think a picture of him just as a cowboy. 481 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: Right, okay, crazy classic. Also that is the the image 482 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: of spitting image of an American to most foreigners is 483 00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: a cowboys were either all cowboys were from New York 484 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: or a Hollywood starlet I know. 485 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 2: And it's still a thing. I'm sure some places, some 486 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 2: people still definitely need to wear cowboy hats because are 487 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 2: working outside. But man, when you see it just at 488 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 2: like a regular bar or sometimes in Hollywood Boulevard, you're like, Bud, 489 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 2: wrong town. It ain't gonna work. It's not the seventies anymore. 490 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: It's also really weird when you, like a boob, get 491 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 1: off the plane in Dallas at the airport and everybody's 492 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,639 Speaker 1: wearing a cowboy hat. It's just like, why are we 493 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: all wearing cowboy hats? Are you? Did you just come 494 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:32,719 Speaker 1: from the farm? 495 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 2: They did, They're just they're out there. They're all farmers, 496 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,439 Speaker 2: every one of them. Remember if when Fleetweek would come 497 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 2: to New York every year and it was just pure 498 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 2: You and I were at a bar once a way 499 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,360 Speaker 2: up in Manhattan and we were like, oh God, it's 500 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 2: Fleet Week. And by the end it was like ninety 501 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 2: guys wearing their navy whites just surrounding us and they're 502 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 2: all just looking. And also, the women of New York 503 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 2: were not not responding to Fleet Week. 504 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: I knew multiple women who'd be like, it's Fleet Week, 505 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go have sex with some seamen. 506 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 2: Yeah they sure, Tray Shirley did. Anyways, back to Operation 507 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,679 Speaker 2: Christmas Child. Tyrrell had already forgotten about the situation. But 508 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 2: in two thousand and nine, so nine years after sending, 509 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 2: he received a friend request on Facebook from Joanna Marshan. 510 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 2: At the time, Tyrrell neither accepted nor rejected the request. 511 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 2: Plan it cool this guy on Facebook? Plant cool, plenty 512 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 2: of friends, already have plenty of friends. 513 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what year is this? 514 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 2: So this is two thousand and nine? The friend request comes. Okay, 515 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 2: so nine. 516 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 1: Years after, nine years later, okay. 517 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,479 Speaker 2: So now they're both sixteen ish. At the time, Tyrell 518 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 2: neither accepted nor rejected the request because he's so popular 519 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 2: and handsome. Months later, he decided to accept the request 520 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,439 Speaker 2: because he was curious about who this girl was. From 521 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 2: the other side of the world. Joanna or Johan told 522 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 2: him how she received his shoe box. She even sent 523 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 2: him a letter to thank him, but somehow the letter 524 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 2: never arrived to the Wolf's home. The boy asked his 525 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 2: mom to confirm whether it was true or not, and 526 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 2: the mother remembered sending the gift, which is lovely. Tyrell 527 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 2: and Johanna continued talking to each other on Facebook. Years later, 528 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 2: they figured out that they actually had a lot in 529 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,400 Speaker 2: common and decided they should meet in real life. Tyrell 530 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,880 Speaker 2: saved up enough money and bought a ticket to fly 531 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 2: to Manila, while he was really nervous because he had 532 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 2: never traveled alone. But Johanna met him at the airport 533 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 2: and they fell in love with each other. That's crazy, 534 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 2: I know, it's pretty sweet. Tyrell was shocked by the 535 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 2: conditions of Johanna's relatives and how they had to live. 536 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 2: All eight family members used to sleep on the floor 537 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 2: in a small lodge, but the couple spent ten days together. 538 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 2: They didn't know if they were ever going to see 539 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 2: each other again, but Tyrell promised Johanna he would come back, 540 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 2: and then he kept his promise. I mean this is 541 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 2: written truly like a third grader or whatever AI. 542 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: Is on right side dot me. 543 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 2: Maybe it is a fourth grader. That's just like I 544 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 2: make people happy. I'm a happy journalist, or taking it back. 545 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: I live in Burlington, Maine. 546 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 2: I'm happy. When Tyrell did visit again, he asked Johanna's 547 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 2: father for permission to marry his daughter. Her father blessed 548 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 2: the marriage, but her mother was against it. She said 549 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 2: they were too young to get married. It doesn't say 550 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 2: what age they were at this point, but let's hope 551 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 2: they're eighteen, nineteen twenty. Let's just hope. Yeah, let's hope. 552 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 2: Then Tyrrell's father arrived at Manila and manased to convince 553 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 2: Johanna's mother. The wedding was held at Tyrrell's parents' house, 554 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 2: a ranch. Excuse me, so it was held back in 555 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 2: the States. Tyrell wore a barong, very nice. I don't 556 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 2: know what that is, but that seems very official. It's 557 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 2: a Filipino thing. It's definitely a Filipino thing. Word. 558 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 1: It definitely is a Filipino thing. 559 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 2: Tyrell wore a barrong, which I'm reading is a traditional 560 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 2: shirt for by Filipino brooms. 561 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: I was at barrong and wear thatrong wrong, thank you? 562 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 2: And John wore a simple white dress, classic classic. That 563 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 2: bride's parents could not attend the flight because of visa issues, 564 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 2: but now the couple wants to have another ceremony back 565 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 2: in the Philipino. Yeah, the International Humanitarian Project was set 566 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 2: Oh they also have a kid together. Yeah, okay, okay, 567 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 2: the International Humanitarian human excuse me. The International Humanitarian Project 568 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 2: was set up in nineteen ninety three, and over one 569 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 2: hundred and thirteen million shoe boxes were sent to one 570 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 2: hundred and thirty countries. Wow, before Tyrrell had met Johanna. 571 00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 1: Has this ever happened? 572 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 2: This is the only one I found. I didn't see 573 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 2: they you know, they don't. Bright side dot me doesn't. 574 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 2: They're not digging as deep as they probably should. They're 575 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 2: real surface website. They're real like it loaded and then 576 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 2: you lost Wi Fi, so you end up reading the 577 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 2: entire article and all the ads beneath it because you're 578 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 2: just like, well, it's better than thinking. Now they continue 579 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 2: sending gifts as a couple, and a few years ago, 580 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 2: which we're just now, we're just ballparking, Okay. Sometime in 581 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 2: the two thousands, the couple gave birth to a beautiful baby, 582 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 2: so it all worked out good for this. 583 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 1: Is that how the article on brightside dot me ends. 584 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 2: The last sentence on this article is a few years ago, 585 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 2: the couple gave birth to a beautiful baby. I'm blaming 586 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 2: Bebe Brizzi completely for this article, but if any of 587 00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 2: what I just said is true, that is beautiful. When 588 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 2: YouTube was new, Kurt and I were working together and 589 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 2: there was a video and it was just words on 590 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 2: a screen scrolling and almost everything was spelled wrong, and 591 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 2: it was about a boy giving a girl ring and 592 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 2: then dying, and it had eleven million views and it 593 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 2: was called the saddest story efforts own. 594 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: It was so fakes. 595 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 2: So bad, and we just cracked up laughing, and it 596 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 2: was the highest viewed video I remember of that era. 597 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 2: The saddest story.

It 744 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 2: all began when I mean, this guy's put himself behind 745 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,719 Speaker 2: the eight ball right from the jump. It all began 746 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 2: when fitness fitness influencer Scott Kramer, known as Scotty k Fitness. 747 00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,800 Speaker 2: That's who took it, That's gonna be my name, got 748 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:37,360 Speaker 2: noticed from his Homeowners Association about the kind of ridiculous 749 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:41,800 Speaker 2: complaint that only in HOA can use. His garbage cans 750 00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:45,480 Speaker 2: were described as ugly his Kramer put it in a 751 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 2: recent video on TikTok. Yeah it's a trash can, good answer. 752 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,960 Speaker 2: The ha insisted that he put his trash cans inside 753 00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 2: of his garage. I mean that it's so silly the hoy. Yeah, 754 00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:02,439 Speaker 2: but that was where Kramer kept his home Jim, Yeah, 755 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 2: he Scotty Kate Fitness, you kidded me, wouldn't go to 756 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 2: trash cans screappal. The only other option offered him was 757 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:11,799 Speaker 2: to build a fence around them. Which was expensive and 758 00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,200 Speaker 2: also dumb because they're not hurting anything. Nevertheless, they told 759 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:19,239 Speaker 2: Kramer he'd be fined fifty dollars a day, every day 760 00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:23,319 Speaker 2: so that his garbage cans were visible. That is disgusting. 761 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:24,360 Speaker 1: It's so disgusting. 762 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 2: Mind your own business, mine, look in your own house, 763 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:33,400 Speaker 2: fix your own problems. Fifty dollars a day for trash 764 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,400 Speaker 2: cans in your own driveway, yeah, give me a break. 765 00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:40,360 Speaker 2: This is insane. So anyways, so he decided some revenge 766 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,839 Speaker 2: was an order. Kramer seems to have decided that the 767 00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 2: only reasonable antidote for these unreasonable demands was an equally 768 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:51,560 Speaker 2: unreasonable response, and that one has the full force of 769 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 2: the federal government backing it. Revenge is a dish best 770 00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,520 Speaker 2: served with a side of federal law. As the saying goes, 771 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 2: I mean, listen to John Sunholm. 772 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:02,840 Speaker 1: That's why it's my tango. 773 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, your tango, dot Kurt Man. John is really bringing 774 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:12,600 Speaker 2: the thunder here. So Kramer bought a big bat house, 775 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,279 Speaker 2: similar to a bird's house, but bigger and taller and 776 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:19,000 Speaker 2: full of bats, which most people find terrifying and disgusting. 777 00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 2: They're actually very cool, though, guys, even if they're vampires. 778 00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,560 Speaker 2: Presumably the people who hate bats include the vice president 779 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,520 Speaker 2: of Kramer's HOA, who happens to live right across the 780 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,640 Speaker 2: street from his ugly trash cans and now his giant 781 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:35,600 Speaker 2: bat sanctuary. This means the Kramer's HOA now has a 782 00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,200 Speaker 2: far bigger problem on hands than just the trash cans. 783 00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:42,040 Speaker 2: Some of you may be asking Scottie why bats Kramer 784 00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:47,000 Speaker 2: said in his video. Fun fact, bat sanctuaries are federally protected. 785 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,000 Speaker 2: Kramer's ha will surely pitch a fit about the hordes 786 00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,799 Speaker 2: of wing vampire bats swarming around his house, but they 787 00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,600 Speaker 2: can't do a thing about it because so many bat 788 00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:59,200 Speaker 2: species are endangered, they live and legally protected by state 789 00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,640 Speaker 2: and federal levels. And contrary to what many hoays seem 790 00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,960 Speaker 2: to believe, the legislation does not oh does in fact 791 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 2: supersede h ways ridiculous. Yeah, so basically thumbs up till 792 00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:16,839 Speaker 2: Scotti k fitness because now he has a giant, disgusting 793 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:20,760 Speaker 2: bat house in it.
