17
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: To Summerland, the land of summer. It's like in between

18
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 2: Ventura and Santa Barbara.

19
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. I like it up there, really pretty. Yeah, it's

20
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 3: a cute little town.

21
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 2: We usually go to Ventura, but there's like literally nowhere

22
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: to stay in Ventura. I love Ventura very much. Reminds

23
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 2: me of Rockaway, where I spent many years surfing. But no,

24
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: we're going to uh, we're going to Summerland.

25
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 5: So what time I went up to Pismo Beach up

26
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 5: in that direction and I was traveling with a friend

27
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 5: of mine and I was like, should we stop and

28
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 5: get to margarita. It's like middle of the day, let's

29
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 5: get to margarita. And she's like, yeah, sounds fun. So

30
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 5: we stop at some little beachside bar up there. It

31
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 5: wasn't Scotty. So there is a bar in Pismo called Scotty.

32
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 4: Oh my god, we got it.

33
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 3: Got Yeah.

34
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 5: It's a pretty good bar actually, And so we go

35
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 5: to this other little bar along the one on one

36
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 5: and we're sitting down and the bartender comes over.

37
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 3: It packed, this bar packed.

38
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 5: It's kind of got a Mexican it's not a Mexican restaurant,

39
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 5: but it feels like it's going to have a killer margarita.

40
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 5: And the bartender is this woman. She goes, h did

41
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 5: I hear you guys say that you wanted to Margarita's

42
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 5: And we said yes. She goes, I happened to make

43
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 5: the best margarita in the state of California. Do you

44
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 5: want rock salt? I go of rock salt. My friend said,

45
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 5: no salt. She goes away. She comes back, serves us

46
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 5: I take a sip. I turned to my friend and

47
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 5: then she goes, is this good? And I go, this

48
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 5: is the worst margarita I've ever had in my entire life.

49
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 5: What was wrong with it? Was it too sweet? Was

50
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 5: it too much?

51
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 4: It's hard to see. That's a great question because we've

52
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 4: talked about it. This is about five years ago.

53
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 5: It's as if she served old sour mix with no

54
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 5: tequila and just a lot of salt on the rim.

55
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 5: So just imagine like a watered down like yeah now

56
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 5: and later with salt. But the way she sold it,

57
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 5: like hold on to your barstools, you're about to get

58
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 5: blasted into drinking paradise. And instead we didn't even finish it,

59
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 5: Like I took a big sip just to be polite.

60
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we just left.

61
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 5: To this day, whenever I head up that way and

62
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 5: I passed that place, I like best margherita in the

63
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 5: state of California.

64
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 3: Oh I love that so much.

65
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, all right, well, I'm going to get right

66
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 2: into this story. Submitted on Instagram.

67
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 3: Love that Instagram user ray Kill. I believe that the

68
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 3: actual human being is named Rachel. So thank you so much, Rachel,

69
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 3: Thank you Rachel ray Kill. Alrighty.

70
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 2: In two thousand and five, heard of it. I went

71
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: on a weekend beach trip with my friend. We'll call

72
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: her Sally. We had only met that year as high

73
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 2: school freshman, and I didn't know her family very well.

74
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: They seem nice, but they didn't speak to each other

75
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 2: very much, and we're always serious, which was intimidating as

76
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 2: it was the very opposite of my family. I don't

77
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: even think we had music on in the car. The

78
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,839
Speaker 2: drive was about three hours, so we stopped to get

79
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: some lunch. On the way down. We spotted a large

80
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: bayside restaurant with a lot of cars in the parking lot, and,

81
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: following the rule if it must be good if they're

82
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: busy for lunch, we pulled in exactly a lot was

83
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 2: almost full, so we had to walk past a lot

84
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 2: of cars on our way to the entrant. Someone pointed

85
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: out a funny Elvis bumper sticker in the and then well, hey,

86
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: there's another one and another weird three big Elvis fans

87
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 2: at the same place for lunch. Inside, the hostess asked

88
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 2: if we'd like to sit inside or on the deck,

89
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: That's all she said. We of course chose the deck

90
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: on the bay. We sat down at the last open

91
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: table and started looking over our menus. No one's saying

92
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: a word the entire time, and my anxious ass trying

93
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: to keep myself from blurting out something stupid because the

94
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: silence at my table was killing me. Within a matter

95
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 2: of minutes, possibly of sitting down, we were all startled

96
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:58,679
Speaker 2: by an MC yelling through a shitty PA system, Hello.

97
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 3: And good afternoon, and gentlemen.

98
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 2: We then realized there was a stage set up on

99
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 2: the deck and we had obviously missed something. Turns out

100
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 2: we had perfect seats to an Elvis impersonation contest. I

101
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 2: don't remember the specifics, but basically it was a bunch

102
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 2: of middle aged men in Elvis like apparel taking turns

103
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 2: badly lip syncing, gyrating all kinds of stuff, and doing

104
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 2: the Elvis lip thing for our indire lunch paradise. Looking back,

105
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 2: I almost can't believe Sally's parents decided to order food

106
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: after the contest began, but they were so small sea

107
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 2: conservative I think they would have considered leaving making a scene.

108
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 2: They did start laughing eventually, It was impossible not to.

109
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: The energy alone was insane. It seemed like everyone else

110
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: on the deck was huge Elvis fans, and each performance

111
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 2: got applause and cheers.

112
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 3: We saw fat Elvis white.

113
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: Uni suit, Elvis, army Elvis, some with the guitar, some sunglasses,

114
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 2: all bearing their chests and trying really hard.

115
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 3: It was honestly very endearing.

116
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 2: The contestants were all taking it really serious while having fun,

117
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,239
Speaker 2: and the crowd was wooing and engaged the whole time.

118
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 2: These guys definitely practice and was surrounded by their biggest

119
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 2: fans and us. I hope Sally and her family remember

120
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 2: that lunch as fondly as I do.

121
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 3: I think the most her parents said about it was, well,

122
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 3: that was interesting. When we come back, what a nightmare.

123
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 2: I wanted to go over every surreal detail and release

124
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 2: the what the fuck was that?

125
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 3: Laughter?

126
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: I had been holding in, but I had to save

127
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 2: it when Sally and I were alone. Maybe, now that

128
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 2: everything is pretty much open in my area, I'll try

129
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 2: to see if that contest is still happening.

130
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 3: If it is, I'll be at the next one.

131
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: And then she says, thank you so much for everything,

132
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 2: Thank you, Rachel, thank you that was great, And I said,

133
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 2: that's chaos. That's chaos. Yes, I love that because.

134
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 3: I do have a story that ties in here.

135
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 4: Scott, oh good, I love your stories.

136
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 2: So I have two uncles who are identical twins who

137
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 2: now no longer look anything like each other.

138
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 3: Interesting, right, And both of them had kind of showbiz dreams.

139
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 3: Oh my lord, here we go.

140
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: One of them was, uh was actually in television, but

141
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 2: on like the distribution.

142
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 3: Side, right, Okay, that's a cool job. Yeah.

143
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 2: The other one ran vacations like he was like a

00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,559
Speaker 2: like a tour like he would he was an agent

145
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 2: that would put down package vacations for people in Pennsylvania.

146
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 3: Before I get to the Elvis story, the package Oh.

147
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, tell me everything. That is a strange job.

148

00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: was two half a hot air balloon movie.

151
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 3: So a movie he said, it was like top Gun.

152
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 3: Didn't see this coming. I like this angle, okay.

153
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 2: With hot air balloons because he loved hot air balloons.

154
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 2: And a lot of his packages that he would make

155
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: were like people going on hot air balloon rides.

156
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 5: I see, okay, so thrilling. The thrilling chase sequences of

157
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 5: two hot air balloons in the same wind current not

158
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 5: gaining on each other.

159
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 3: You can't speed them with.

160
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: You can't speed him it's just drifting at the exact

161
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 2: same speed.

162
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 3: Whoever starts first wins, you know, yeah, hope you have

163
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 3: a sniper rifle. Wow, so he would email he for

164
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 3: twenty years.

165
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: For twenty years, he has been emailing me different synopsies

166
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 2: and pitches for this same movie, the same movie. It's

167
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 2: like evolved over the twenty years. He's never written it tough,

168
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 2: it's just like in his mind detailed. I'm talking pages.

169
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 2: I will get them someday and read them. Pages and

170
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 2: pages of description of what this movie could be and

171
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 2: why everyone will love it and who should be casting it.

172
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 3: Now. My other uncle who actually was in television.

173
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm traveling cross country twenty two years old with

174
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 2: my then girlfriend Milaana, and my uncle's like, he's in

175
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: I'm in Beverly Hills. Come on out, We're having a meeting.

176
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 3: Wow. Uh, so he's pitching this TV show. Oh, but

177
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 3: which is whitch is?

178
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 2: About a an Elvis impersonator who like I think it

179
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 2: was like it was like part comedy but part kind

180
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 2: of like that Miracle show with the Angel Do you

181
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,479
Speaker 2: remember that show with Michael.

182
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 4: Sure Oh yes, with Michael Landon.

183
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 2: It was he was He's an angel. It's like a

184
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 2: feel good kind of hour long show. So it's a

185
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 2: combination of that. But all of his wisdom and the

186
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 2: way he helps people is through quotes from Elvis. Okay, okay,

187
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 2: all right, pretty good.

188
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 4: So he wasn't Highway to Heaven.

189
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 3: It was Highway to Heaven. Okay.

190
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: So it's like Highway to Heaven meets an Elvis impersonator

191
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 2: and stuff.

192
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 4: Honestly, I've heard worse pitches so far.

193
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 3: So far, I've heard.

194
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 2: Worse, and I think he just I think he got

195
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 2: swindled by Los Angeles because he was convinced that all

196
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 2: he had to do all of these things which people

197
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 2: often are when they're pitching to a lunch with like him,

198
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 2: supposedly a writer that was supposed to write it. And

199
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 2: the writer brought like an entourage of people with him

200
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 2: to this, like like you know, incredibly expensive lunch in

201
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 2: Beverly Hills.

202
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 3: Yes, and a lawyer. His lawyer was there. And this

203
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 3: is the one that's not how you do it.

204
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 5: By the way, guys, what you're hearing this is I'm

205
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 5: a writer. I've never traveled with an ntrage, I've never

206
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 5: brought a single person with me.

207
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 3: You don't bring anybody with.

208
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 2: And I remember that this lawyer had he had a

209
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 2: little on his lapel. He was dressing a suit, obviously,

210
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 2: and on his lapel he had like a music note

211
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 2: or a guitar or something.

212
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 3: Nothing cool than that, right, nothing cooler than that.

213
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 2: And so for some reason I asked him about it,

214
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 2: or maybe Molina asked him about it, like, oh, I

215
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: like your lapel, and he's like.

216
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 3: My father wrote Monster Mash. And that's how he talked.

217
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 3: Oh my god. Oh.

218
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 2: He would wear a musical note everywhere he went so

219
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 2: that people would ask him about it, and so he

220
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 2: could tell them that his father wrote Monster Mask.

221
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 5: Absolutely, that is exactly why he did.

222
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 4: That is such a strange thing.

223
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it may.

224
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 2: At twenty two, I was like, Los Angeles is a

225
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 2: sucking void of any of any humanity. It was a

226
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: nightmare lunch. Everyone was full of shit, like, so much shit.

227
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: Everyone spewed so much shit at this lunch, it was insane.

228
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 2: I left being like, I will never in my life

229
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 2: live in this hell hole of a town.

230
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, and now I really do like it.

231
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a great place to be. The Monster Mash

232
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 4: is in.

233
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 5: John Waters has a memoir or he has a thing

234
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 5: about his heroes. It's a great audible book if anybody

235
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 5: needs one for road trip John Waters has I think

236
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 5: it's called something with Heroes, Yeah, but it's about He

237
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 5: also talks about Buddy Pickett, the Bobby Pickett whoever wrote

238
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 5: Monster Mash. Maybe Bobby Pickett. He's like, I love that guy.

239
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 5: Every year he comes out for the month of October,

240
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 5: goes on all these shows, sings Monster Mash, the same

241
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 5: song has been singing for fifty five years, probably makes

242
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 5: a cool one hundred grand in appearances, and then just

243
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 5: disappears again.

244
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 4: And there is some truth to that.

245
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like it's weird that his son is writing those coattails, yeah,

246
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 5: and has to show it on a lapel. But there

247
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 5: is something cool about like writing an all timer. There's

248
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 5: no other Halloween song. Now, that's another Halloween song, Wagner

249
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 5: or something.

250
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 2: Maybe Ghostbusters Ghostbusters, right, But that's a movie song, you know, yeah,

251
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 2: not just a hollow me.

252
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 3: This is just a Halloween.

253
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 2: Also, I'm gonna go out on record Scottie as saying

254
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 2: it could have not it could also not be Monster Mash.

255
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 2: Well that's fine, but yeah, I thought it was Monster Mash.

256
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 2: My memory is that it's monster mash. It was a

257
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 2: novelty song. I know that there was a novelty song,

258
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 2: and I just found it so like disturbing and weird

259
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 2: that that was.

260
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 5: For years, I was told that the song bird is

261
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 5: the Word blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Oh yeah, yeah,

262
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 5: that one was a teacher. I told this to thirty people,

263
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 5: then looked it up, and it is not true that

264
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 5: it was a teacher who hated rock and roll music,

265
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 5: who said rock and roll is garbage, and told his

266
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 5: students he could record a hit song. So he went

267
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 5: in his garage and recorded bird is the Word. He

268
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 5: just thought of the stupidest thing. And it's not true.

269
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 5: But I love that story.

270
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,479
Speaker 4: That's so much.

271
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 5: Much that it was just like a pissed off high

272
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 5: school music teacher. It's like, you guys are fools. I

273
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 5: can make anything a hit. And then he turned it

274
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 5: around on him and made bird is the Word, which

275
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 5: is also a very fun song.

276
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bird is the Word is a great bird based song.

277
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 2: But I think the best bird based song of all

278
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 2: songs is rock and Robin.

279
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 3: Oh.

280
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, every rendition, every every rendition.

281
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, even the Jackson five, the Michael Jackson Jackson five rendition.

282
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 5: You can look past everything when Michael Jackson the Jackson

283
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 5: five are singing rock and Robin what a hit.

284
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 4: I love that so much. It's just a it's a

285
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 4: different it was a different era.

286
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 5: It was a different era, people singing songs about birds

287
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 5: and monsters mashing.

288
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 3: It so good America.

289
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 5: My dad worked for the State of Maryland for a

290
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 5: really long time as an appraiser, and he had an

291
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 5: older gentleman that worked with him for years, and that

292
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 5: gentleman passed away. So my dad went to sort of

293
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 5: the wake or the viewing before the funeral and just

294
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 5: showed up and in the corner there was a gold record. Uh,

295
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 5: there's like a little mantle area, and there was a

296
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 5: gold record on the wall, and he went over and

297
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 5: read it and it was for Sam the Sham and

298
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 5: the Pharaohs for the song Wooly Bully. And it turns

299
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 5: out that the man he worked with was the drummer

300
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 5: for Sam the Sham when they wrote Wooly Bully, one

301
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 5: of the great songs of all time, and he never

302
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 5: spoke of it.

303
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 3: My dad had no idea. He never talked about it

304
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 3: around the office.

305
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 5: But sometime in the fifties and sixties he was in

306
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 5: Sam the Sham Wow and the Pharaohs, and they.

307
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 3: Wrote Wooly Bully.

308
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 5: So if you hear the drums, that guy ended up

309
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 5: working for the State of Maryland, wore suit every day

310
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 5: and but yeah, he must had a rock in like

311
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 5: ten year period where it was like top of the pops.

312
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, here's Dick Clark. Holy shit.

313
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 4: So I always like Wooly Bully.

314
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 5: When I hear that song, I'm always like, that's that's

315
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 5: a cool thing.

316
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 3: And the guy just never brought it up. He did

317
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 3: the opposite. Yeah, exactly, that's I love that.

318
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 5: Better way to do it? Hide your best secret. Okay,

319
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 5: I'm going back. I went in the archives a little

320
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 5: bit because we have some old banana stories that we

321
00:15:55,760 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 5: just haven't done you. This one is from steph the

322
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 5: Ak Stephanie Ak, thank you so much. Sorry it took

323
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 5: me a while to get to this one. Short and sweet, Kurt,

324
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 5: this is one of my favorite kind of stories. One evening,

325
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 5: at about dinner time, I got a call from my mom.

326
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 5: She asks me, quote, have you ever heard of chicken tacos?

327
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 3: Already?

328
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 5: Oh? What an open I answer of course I have.

329
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 5: I make them often, she says, quote I made them

330
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 5: for dinner tonight, and your father says he has never

331
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 5: heard of making tacos with chickens.

332
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 3: I love this so much.

333
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 4: Oh.

334
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 5: Turns out that the call to me was actually the

335
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 5: final step in a very long argument that they had

336
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 5: been having for over an hour. During that hour, and

337
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 5: prior to calling me, my mom had called my brother

338
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 5: and then call their local Mexican restaurant to see if

339
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 5: they had chicken tacos on the menu, and of course

340
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 5: they did. I was laughing so hard I began crying.

341
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 5: And now this is a standing joke in my family.

342
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 5: If you have a chicken taco, you have to call

343
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 5: or text my dad immediately.

344
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 3: Oh god, oh my god. That is so much, so good.

345
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 2: Like that's the that's the real version of that guy

346
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 2: who pretended he didn't know what a baked potato was.

347
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 5: Oh right, potato, just a potato, had no idea what

348
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 5: a potato was. Yes, this dad had never heard of

349
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 5: chicken taco probably more popular than beef tacos.

350
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 3: I would say, so oh, I love it. That's a

351
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 3: guy made me so happy.

352
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 2: That is a guy who has just been having ground

353
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:52,479
Speaker 2: beef tacos with American cheese, lettuce and tomato with no

354
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 2: with no, with not naven any garlic on it, you know,

355
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 2: for his whole life.

356
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 3: And think about that, that's.

357
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 2: A great day for him. Yeah, to find out chicken

358
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 2: tacos are a thing.

359
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is like a rebirth.

360
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 5: He was like born anew in that moment that it's

361
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 5: suddenly something else can go in this old Il Paso

362
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 5: taco shell.

363
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 4: Also, I love a chicken taco.

00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 2: I love a chicken chicken taco. Is was my go

00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 3: Taco to this day.

369
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 5: Del Taco doesn't mess around. I might prefer it over

370
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 5: Taco Bell.

371
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 3: Get out of here.

372
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 5: I know he might be blasphemy, but it might be true.

373
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 5: Did you when you went to Hopkins when you signed

374
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 5: up for classes? Did you have to do it in

375
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 5: person at first, before the Internet got to it and

376
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 5: you had to go get like folders right, like sign

377
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 5: up for things, and.

378
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you would go you'd bring a card into a

379
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 2: physical place registrar. Yes, I always was always just like,

380
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 2: there is a better word than registrar for this.

381
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

382
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 5: It feels like somebody was writing register and then die,

383
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 5: Yeah mid sentence.

384
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 3: It's like a Monty Python joke.

385
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 5: And the pen just went to the right and wrote

386
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 5: an r ar and they were like, it's it's registrar.

387
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 3: We met that from the jump. Okay.

388
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 5: So when I was a freshman, we had internet. We

389
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 5: had an online signing up for classes. You'd get the

390
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 5: hard copy of the thing. You'd flip through and you

391
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 5: would just keep refreshing the page until you got you know, English.

392
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 3: One oh one or whatever.

393
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 5: Then I went to University West Florida for my sophomore

394
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 5: year and I met this guy Russ. I've told you

395
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 5: about Russ, I don't. I've talked about him on the

396
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 5: podcast once or twice. But Russ was the best. He

397
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 5: just had a he was a charmer. He was from Hattiesburg, Mississippi.

398
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 5: Just had a way of talking to any stranger about

399
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 5: anything at any time. He was a senior at UWF

400
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 5: Beautiful University of West Florida. So he's like, hey, Scooter,

401
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 5: come with me. I got to sign up for classes

402
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 5: because I'm going to graduate over the summer.

403
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 3: You got to come with me. I go, okay.

404
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 5: So we walk into the gym and the registrars there,

405
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 5: and all the departments have tables. So if you, you know,

406
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 5: if you need a if you're a history major, you

407
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 5: go over to the history table, you take your card,

408
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 5: you take your physical paper card to our under thirty

409
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 5: five year old listeners. It's probably totally insane. So he

410
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 5: gets his classes and then he sees the last. He

411
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 5: walks over to the last table. He needs to get

412
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 5: his last class to graduate college six year senior.

413
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 3: I think maybe five.

414
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 4: So the ladies that can help you.

415
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 3: He goes, Yeah, my name is Russ and I need

00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 3: to take biography. And she goes.

00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 5: She goes, I'm sorry, we don't have biography. He goes, no, no, no,

418
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 5: I need to take biography to graduate. It's the last

419
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 5: thing I need is biography. She goes, we don't have

420
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 5: we don't offer biography here. I'm sorry, we don't have that.

421
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 5: He goes, you don't offer biography and she goes, no, sir.

422
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 5: He goes, really, you don't have biography, the one class

423
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 5: I have to take, you don't offer it anymore. So

424
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 5: what am I supposed to do? You don't have biography,

425
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 5: and she goes, sir, we don't offer biography. We've never

426
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 5: had biography because.

427
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 3: You never have biography.

428
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 4: Elephants, birds, plants, biograph.

429
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 5: She goes, I think you mean biology, and he goes,

430
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 5: oh my, uh oh. We seem to have gotten off

431
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 5: on the wrong foot here. I need biology. Signs up

432
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 5: for Bio one oh two and graduates. But he lost

433
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 5: his mind, screaming biography, biography, what do you mean you

434
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 5: don't a biography.

435
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 2: I love that the woman says, we don't offer biography

436
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 2: instead of saying.

437
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 3: There is no thing as biography. It means a book

438
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 3: written about someone.

439
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 5: Yes, And I'm also thinking that would be a pretty

440
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 5: cool class, like you get to read like biographies and

441
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 5: learn about history and stuff.

442
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 3: But yeah, elephants and birds and plants and stuff.

443
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 5: You know, biography, Oh, biology, I think you're talking about biology.

444
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 5: To his credit, he apologized and said, I think we've

445
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 5: gotten off on the wrong foot. I love it, and

446
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 5: it was one of the fun It was so good

447
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 5: because it went zero to a thousand for something that

448
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 5: just doesn't exist, not at all. It's a chicken Taco

Speaker 2: So excited that and I'm so excited that he passed biology.

451
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 2: After that, that's amazing because you say it sounds like

452
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 2: Russ is gonna just stay in school after that.

453
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,119

Speaker 5: Yeah, he was the best. He was so funny. He

455
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 5: was like, you didn't get a dining hall passed, did you.
