00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:01,800
Speaker 1: Uh, Scott are you ready?

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm ready to laugh and laugh.

3
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: And love confusion as man finds seven foot Egyptian sarcophagus

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: abandoned on sidewalk.

5
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:22,319
Speaker 3: That would be confusing, that's man, I can't wait to

6
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 3: find out where this guy is. Well, uh, I'm too

7
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,480

Speaker 3: a morning recording. So let's get into it. Spicy new

9
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 3: I don't know.

10

Speaker 1: Let's this episode will wake you from the dead.

11
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: There we go, Thank God on bananas.

14
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: extraordinary and best bud exemplar Scottie Landis.

15
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 3: Hey, I'll take it. And right there you know him,

16
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 3: he's KURTI b my BFF. How you doing, dude? I

17
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 3: had a question, Actually, yeah, when you did that commercial

18
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 3: with Cardi B and the diner. Yes, what diner was?

19
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: That?

20
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: Was that in l A Huh? It was in La

21
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: It was. It was in a strange location. I mean

22
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: every when I say strange, anything towards the west is

23
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: strange to me because I never go over there. It

24
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: was far over maybe above Culver City, okay, or maybe

25
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: below it maybe below Culver.

26
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: It looks cool.

27
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 3: I just happened to I was thinking of that commercial,

28
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 3: and I went back and watched it, and I'm like,

29
00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 3: where is this?

30
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 2: This is an awesome looking diner. It looked really cool.

31
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: That was when I was reminded because I hadn't done

32
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: a commercial in a really long time. But then I had,

33
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: you know, I got had kids, and I was like, oh,

34
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: I need to start doing commercial sikid because children are

35
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: expensive as smart. And I just realized that really that

36
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: actors are in the commercial process. They are simply props

37
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: unless it unless you're Cardi b and then you then

38
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: you run the show and then everyone else is Literally

39
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: we sat in a parking lot, all the actors, and

40
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: there were so many people in that spot. Everyone sat

41
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: in a parking lot from six in the morning until

42
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: two in the morning. And it was December. It was

43
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: freezing out, there was no heaters. It was crazy, and

44
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: I was there at six am and then I get

45
00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 1: I think I shot from eleven eleven eleven thirty pm

46
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: to midnight. I show for thirty minutes and then they

47
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: kept me for two more hours for no reason. I

48
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: think just to be like, we own you, we have

49
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: control over you.

50
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 2: It was like.

51
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: The worst experience whatsoever.

52
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: That makes a lot of sense.

53
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: But at least it never aired. At least it aired

54
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: once for the super Bowl and then they never aired

55
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: it again, so there was no And for people who

56
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: don't know, like, the only way you make money on

57
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: a commercial is if it airs a lot, and if

58
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't, if it's you see it, yeah better so

59
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: And usually people are always like, oh man, you were

60
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: in a super Bowl commercial. Usually super Bowl commercials pay

61
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: the least because they spend all of their money on

62
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: the ad buy for the super Bowl, and then they

63
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: don't buy, they don't spend anymore, so then they then

64
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: shelve that ad, usually in the rare instances where it

65
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: just keeps going and everything. But yeah, for the most part,

66
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: if you're in a super Bowl spot, you're not not

67
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: going to make any money, which is so weird.

68
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 3: I and you know this about me, I've never claimed

69
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 3: and I would never claim that, like I had an

70
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 3: idea that somebody else took and made it their own.

71
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: It's like I just never do that.

72
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're the ideas are in the ether.

73
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: They're all right, and it's just yeah, exactly.

74
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 3: I'm not some of the even monitors' ideas that much,

75
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 3: but I think somebody worked in advertising.

76
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 2: I know this actually happened, okay, because I was.

77
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 3: I used to have a couple of friends that worked

78
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 3: at like McCann Erickson and some of those big New

79
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 3: York ad sort of those old school mad men type

80
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 3: of companies, and I used to get invited to the

81
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 3: holiday parties. And advertising parties in the early two thousands

82
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 3: were so fun because we were like heavily catered and

83
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 3: really dumb but.

84
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: Decadent and weird. And also when you were in your twenties,

85
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: you're just like, what's happening? Like you've never been to

86
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: a party where there's food, Yeah, but like but not

87
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: just food.

88
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 3: Like I remember one where all the caterers were very

89
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 3: attractive men and women wearing sea through chain mail like

90
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: Knight's chain mail, and they were the big funny col

91
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 3: food thing is they all had McDonald's food on silver platters.

92
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 3: So just pyramids of cheeseburgers, pyramids of McNuggets, pyramids.

93
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: What a great idea.

94
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so I have some photos of that.

95
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 3: I'll be able to find those photos of me posing

96
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 3: with like basically naked but wearing our like knights in

97
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 3: armor chain mail only, and then we're all just drunk

98
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 3: as hell. But I was at one of not that one,

99
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 3: but another one that was sushi and Guinness themed. It

100
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 3: was sponsored by Guinness. And then there were women and

101
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 3: men covered in sushi because that was such a thing

102
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 3: in two thousand and four, two thousand and five, and

103
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 3: we just ate and everybody was kind of smart, where

104
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 3: normally you go to those things, you get drunk first,

105
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 3: because New York and open bars like a gift from God. Yeah,

106
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 3: this was like, it's sushi, eat it as soon as

107
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 3: you get here, because it's just gonna be sitting there

108
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 3: getting hotter and getting grosser. And it's this guy's body

109
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 3: temperature is probably ninety seven point nine degrees, So let's

110
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: let's eat before he cooks this salmon raw.

111
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: And so I wait, wait, the sushi was on a person, some.

112
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 3: Were on people, some were on these giant boats.

113
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 4: Like god, they just didn't like, they didn't give a shit.

114
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 4: Back then, it's such a different world. We're just like, oh,

115
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 4: this is just a normal corporate party. There's sushi on

116
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 4: human beings.

117
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then in every direction, Guinness on tap, and

118
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 3: so we're standing on balconies looking over Madison Avenue eating

119
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 3: plates of sush, talking about the future. I'm like twenty

120
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 3: something years old. So at one of those they were

121
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 3: talking about the strategy. And so that was a Christmas

122
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 3: party or a holiday party, and the Super bowls after Christmas,

123
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 3: so they were talking about all their stuff and I

124
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 3: was like, I don't know why you guys pay three

125
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 3: million dollars a minute or whatever the hell it is.

126
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 3: I was like, you should just have somebody yell the

127
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 3: product name in one second. And then the next year

128
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 3: I drove my brother in law out to Portland Organ

129
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 3: and on that road trip, we get there and we

130
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 3: watch the super Bowl in a Portland Organ bar where

131
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 3: zero other people even knew it was the super Bowl,

132
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 3: which is like that, which I love.

133
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: Portry Portland Rocks.

134
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 3: And we're going to be in Portland April fifteenth, and

135
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 3: we're watching the Super Bowl and in the middle of

136
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 3: the first half, there's a friendly looking, large guy dressed

137
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 3: like a beerd delivery guy. He comes on screen and

138
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 3: just goes high Life and that was it. It was

139
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 3: a one second ad buy screaming High Life. And I

140
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 3: was like, I am sure, Yeah, somebody at that party

141
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 3: heard me say that and got the clock ticking, and

142
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 3: then probably went and pitched after the super Bowl and

143
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 3: was like we should just do a one second pie

144
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 3: for ten thousand dollars, and it kind of went viral.

145
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 3: But I was like, I'm sure I planted that seat

146
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 3: for somebody while binging on sushi.

147
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,679
Speaker 1: Well at least you got the sushi out of it, right.

148
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 3: Hey, free meal, It's amazing what I'll do for a

149
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:58,559
Speaker 3: free meal and a drink.

150
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: It is also interesting now in my twenties, I feel

151
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: like I was far more hooked up with people who

152
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: would just bring over some sort of product of like

153
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: a thousand of them, and then for a party, we

154
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: were just like, do you remember we always used to

155
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: have Cold forty five at parties, just cases and cases

156
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: of cold forty five because our friend Dan were for

157
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: the marketing or whatever for that.

158
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 2: I never knew why, but you never knew why. I

159
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 2: just thought you guys were cheap as hell.

160
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: No, it's just cases of cold forty five because I

161
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: don't know. Cold forty five was trying to do what

162
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: Paps Blue Ribbon did and make it like cool with

163
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: hipsters or whatever.

164
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, just a brutal.

165
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 3: Maybe Mickey's hand grenades were big too, the Mickey's Small Liquors.

166
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 3: That was a big punk green hand grenade. Yeah, that

167
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 3: was a big one in Brooklyn too. You go to

168
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 3: a party and just be a case of those, and

169
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 3: you're like, yeah, I'll get black out on this.

170
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 2: I guess.

171
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: Uh, here's the story skinning.

172
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, hit me with this one.

173
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: This was sent in by Sean Fister. This isn't another

174
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: one for Sean. I think we just did one recently.

175
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sean's pretty good.

176
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: This was on Newsweek, written by Alice Gibbs. Whenever I'm

177
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: reading articles on abandoned Egyptian sarcophagus as I always look

178
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: and see if Alice has been writing, because she is

179
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: the best in the biz when it comes when it

180
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: comes to ancient coffins on pedestrian walkways. Here it is

181
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 1: one man's unusual find while walking the streets of London

182
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: has baffled the Internet. After getting off a late train

183
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: on Monday, March thirteenth, the reditor, who wished to remain anonymous,

184
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: was astonished when he stumbled upon a full sized, ancient

185
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: Egyptian style sarcophagus traveling from King's College in central London

186
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: to Saint Mary Cray in the southeast London borough of Bromley.

187
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: He wasn't respected. He wasn't expecting what he saw when

188
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: he stepped out of the station. Quote it was already

189
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: pretty gloomy and quiet because it was laid on a Monday,

190
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: so not many people were around at the time. But

191
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: as I left the station, Marias couldn't stop fixing on

192
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: this thing when I saw it, he told Newsweek. If anything,

193
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: I just burst out laughing a bit, because I don't

194
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 1: think something could get more random than some Egyptian sarcophicus

195
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: laying down outside a train station. And I'm looking at

196
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: it right now. It's huge. Ancient Egyptian stone sarcophagy date

197
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: back to the Pharaohs of the Third Dynasty around to

198
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: twenty six eighty six and twenty six thirteen BC. While

199
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: elaborate coffins, they were painted and decorated to help the

200
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: deceased obtain passage to the afterlife. Leaders and the wealthy

201
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: of ancient Egypt would be buried into sarcophagus, which were

202
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 1: designed to be displayed above ground. Archaeologists are still uncombering

203
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: ancient Egyptian toombs today, and while burials like this are

204
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: no longer practiced, it is an idea that some have

205
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: held onto. One man even built at three thousand pounds

206
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: sarcophagus to keep a beloved paca cheetos preserved. As we know, however,

207
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 1: nobody was expecting an elaborate Egyptian sarcophagus to peer on

208
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: the streets of the UK Capitol, and one hundreds of

209
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: common on Reddit shared their confused reactions. I don't care

210
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: about the reactions.

211
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't care.

212
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 1: This is again another This is a very common type article.

213
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: It's surprising that this is in Newsweek, where it's just

214
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: like we are writing an articles post of something. Yeah,

215
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: here's a post. Some person wrote this on the internet

216
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: and now it's in Newsweek. Yes, but I'm looking at it.

217
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: It was amazed by the strain discovery. The redditor explained,

218
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if it carries across in the photo,

219
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: but it wasn't small. I would estimate that it's at

220
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: least six to seven feet, which was what also amazed

221
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: me the most. How the hell does something that big

222
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: like get there?

223
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 2: And why?

224
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, we stole it and got sick of lugging it around.

225
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 3: That's that's somebody stole that thing, right.

226
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: So Newsweek has reached out to Bromley Council via email

227
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: about the sarcophagus period. No information about whether or not

228
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: they responded.

229
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 2: No journalism involved whatsoever.

230
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: We sent an email so that we could publish this story.

231
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: We sent the email the moment the story went live.

232
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: Do you care to comment? Boo, We don't care. And

233
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: I looked and I tried to look up the answer

234
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: to this, and I could not find it. I'm looking

235
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: at the photo, I legitimately can't tell if it's real

236
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: or not.

237
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 2: I'm oh, I see, I'm a prop too.

238
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm assuming it. I'm assuming it's a prop. But

239
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: it's like highly detailed if it's a prop, but I

240
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: can see in a way that it might be wooden.

241
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 3: Sometimes you steal things. We all did it as teenagers.

242
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 3: Where you steal something, it's really fun for a while

243
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 3: and then, like I remember, people used to steal traffic

244
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 3: signs all the time, or I know guys that would

245
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 3: steal those orange traffic barrels that you like have a

246
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 3: light on or cones, and then you'd walk into their

247
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 3: crappy apartment, or you'd walk in the shitty dorm room

248
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 3: and you're there's like, where'd you get that yield sign?

249
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 3: And they're like, uh, Main Street and Blue Avenue and

250
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 3: you're like, this seems bad. And then an accident happens

251
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 3: and something terrible happens, and suddenly all those signs, that

252
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 3: stolen stop sign ends up outside. This feels like Egypt

253
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 3: was probably like give us back our shit. There's tons

254
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 3: of stolen stuff England ransactus and Stoller stuff, and somebody

255
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 3: that had been keeping that as a piece.

256
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: Put it out through it out on the sidewalk.

257
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 2: I have it. Yeah, I don't know where it is. Yeah,

258
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 2: beats me.

259
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 3: It's like used to show that to everybody when you

260
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,839
Speaker 3: had parties, and then to me, it feels like they

261
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 3: felt guilty.

262
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 2: It was too.

263
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 3: Cumbersome to move around and they were like just put

264
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 3: it there and drive away and let reddit deal with it.

265
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: You know. That's my guess because I was very into

266
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: doing that as well, is as a teenager, like you know,

267
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: stealing streets signs and stuff like that. But what I've

268
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: later found out how to do, which I thought was

269
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: really interesting, and I maybe have talked about this on

270
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: the podcast It Cares. But the so you know the

271
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: street signs, the street signs that are put up for

272
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: construction where it's like like they wheel up a thing

273
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: and it's like battery powered and it's like really bright

274
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: and you can make it do arrows and everything. So

275
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: there's a at least in the in the nineties, and

276
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's the way that it works anymore,

277
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: but if you would go behind that thing, there's just

278
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: a little battery case that's also the controller, and it's

279
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: plastic and there's no lock on or anything, and you

280
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: just pop it open and the password was one two

281
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: three four.

282
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 2: There you go.

283
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: And so if you just put one two three four,

284
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: then you had access to the sign. You could just

285
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: make it say whatever wanted.

286
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 3: Hell, yeah, that's so good.

287
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: So in Baltimore we would just like reprogram them to

288
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: just read like balls.

289
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. You never know what them. But also balls

290
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 2: is great.

291
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 3: Whatever you write is good because the people driving by

292
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 3: who have had a long day just go that's funny.

293
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was when we.

294
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 3: Were I stole a sign that said part time from

295
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 3: a baskin Robbins right near my high school, and I

296
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 3: used to put it in the back window of my

297
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 3: Corolla and just drive around and like people would yell

298
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 3: like party time and stuff. And then my sister's friend

299
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 3: Dawn took it to a Dave Matthews concert and posed

300
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 3: with hundreds of strangers who just thought it was so

301
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 3: cool to have a party time sign had big balloons

302
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 3: on it was a blue sign said party time really

303
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 3: big and it just had colorful balloons all over it.

304
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 2: But she just held it up and people would be like,

305
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 2: party time, that's all.

306
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: It took awesome and it didn't say baskin Robins or anything.

307
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 2: It just said I.

308
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 3: Said party Time. Oh that makes me say so you

309
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 3: should have put party time on that digital sign. But animals,

310
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 3: if you're party time something, just put If you don't

311
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 3: ever know what to write, just write party time.

312
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 2: I don't like everybody else figure out if they're having fun.

313
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: I took We went for this beautiful walk yesterday morning

314
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: because it's finally like spring is kind of here in

315
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, which I've never said before in my life.

316
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: There's never been a spring in the ten years I've

317
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: lived here, and we are definitively having a spring, and

318
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: there's like buds on a tree. We're walking across the river,

319
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: the La River, near our house, and on a little walkway.

320
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: Right in the middle of the walkway, beautiful big tree,

321
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: just blooming. And then just written in white word, in

322
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: white lettering on the bridge itself, just vagina.

323
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 2: Vagina. So I have this beautiful picture.

324
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: Gotta write something because there's a beautiful picture of just

325
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: like this blooming tree and a river below it, and

326
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: just vagina. It's just the dumbest, uh, the dumbest graffiti

327
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: you could ever possibly imagine.

328
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's so good though, because just some middle schooler

329
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 3: that wants his friends to know that he knows what

330
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 3: girls have. And then he's like, but I don't want

331
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 3: to get in trouble because I'm still a good kid. Wow,

332
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 3: that's so funny.

333
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 2: My God, give me another one.

334
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 3: I got one, sure, Oh you like this one. Brooklyn's

343
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 3: have very bad ideas. The newly opened Museum of Failure

344
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 3: is a place that celebrates bad ideas, silly designs, and

345
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 3: over hype products that never really took off.

346
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: This is brilliant, it's.

347
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 2: A great idea. And ban animals go, it's it's going

348
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 2: to be open.

349

Speaker 3: At the end of the article, has the dates go

350
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 3: take pick just let him know the Banana Boys sent you.

351
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 3: Consider the twenty eleven BIC for her pens, developed and

352
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 3: marketed towards women. The only difference was the glitter and

353
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 3: the higher price tag. Of course, got the pink tax

354
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 3: on that. Or how about Google Glass, a brand of

355
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 3: smart glasses that race and red flags regarding privacy. Or

356
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 3: another example the Rejuvenique electrical face mask from nineteen ninety nine,

357
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 3: a beauty product that shocks the face with electrical simulation

358
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 3: but looks like the stuff of nightmares. I've seen this,

359
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yeah, glows. It looks like adjasent mask

360
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 3: and then it has like glow. That that's the Rejuveniq.

361
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 3: We should have rejuveniks I will spot hey sponsor US

362
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 3: for Juveniq will sing your praises.

363
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: Oh Yeah.

364
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 3: After residencies around the world, the exhibit has found a

365
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 3: temporary home in the East Coast for the first time.

366
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 3: The exhibit was curated by Swedish psychologists and innovation researcher

367
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 3: doctor Samuel West. Doesn't sound like a Swedish name to me,

368
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 3: but what do I know? See that's I have to

369
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 3: learn something. It houses over one hundred and fifty items

370
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 3: he considers commercial flops.

371
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 2: Quote.

372
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 3: A failure is when your efforts don't lead to the

373
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 3: expected or desired results and quote, doctor West tells CBS

374
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 3: New York's.

375
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 2: Hannah bad News Kliger.

376
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 3: The items range from a famous Soviet car to the

377
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 3: now discontinued Segway scooters to a massive set of metal

378
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 3: tipped lawn darts. We played lawn darts Uncle Steve HadAM

379
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 3: in the eighties. They were so so dangerous, it was

380
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 3: so crazy. Let's describe lawn darts for our gen Z listeners.

381
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 3: Lawn darts you would put a small hoop like imagine

382
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 3: a hula hoop on the ground and then you'd pace,

383
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 3: I don't know twenty five feet away and put another

384
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 3: hoop and just like playing horseshoes or cornhole. You would

385
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 3: have colored darts that were about a I would guess

386
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 3: sixteen inches, yeah, maybe eight. They were big, yeah, and

387
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 3: they had a metal weighted tip.

388
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 2: They were in the idea.

389
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: It was like a metal It was all all metal.

390
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,239
Speaker 1: It was all metal with just like the like the

391
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: dart kind of what are the feathering.

392
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, those feathers whatever, those what are those called? Like

393
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 3: side but they were like hard green plastic or hard

394
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 3: red plastic dart parts. I'm googling it live. This is see.

395
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 3: This is the research that news. It's called not willing

396
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 3: to do. It's called the flight. They're called flights. They're

397
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 3: dart flights, all right. So the flight on the darts

398
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 3: was hard plastic and then you would lob them underhand

399
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 3: like throwing a softball towards the other hoop where the

400
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 3: people you were competing against were standing. It would go

401
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 3: through feet, it would go into faces, it would hit pets,

402
00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,239
Speaker 3: and then they banned them.

403
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 2: Lawn darts were so dangerous.

404
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: So crazy. It was heavy. It was it was heavy enough.

405
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: The point is for the is for it to like

406
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: stick in the ground, like stick in hard the hard ground.

407
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 2: The hoop.

408
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: It had to be heavy enough to land and just

409
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: bunk stick in.

410
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 3: In hot summer ground dry and so yes, these they'd

411
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 3: go right through a flip flop.

412
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 2: They were if you had jellies on.

413
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 3: Little little girls in the eighties running around with jellies

414
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 3: getting darts to the feet. Now they look like they

415
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 3: have stigmata. What were parents thinking? Here you go, guys,

416
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 3: here's some weapons to throw out each other. Dinners at six,

417
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 3: recalls Jim Somosa, managing director of Industry City. I think

418
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 3: that's where it's located, Industry City.

419
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

420
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 3: The exhibit features a strange looking hula chair, a machine

421
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 3: which promised to give its users abs while they watch

422
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 3: a movie or do work.

423
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: I've seen.

424
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

425
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 3: However, when once it's down, the silly rocking and spinning motions,

426
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 3: we make one unable to focus on anything at all.

427
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 3: Fairy on brand for us, we take a lot of

428
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 3: risks doing a project like this, and we have a

429
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 3: lot of tenants that are entrepreneurial who take a lot

430
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 3: of risks and have and have had their share of failures,

431
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 3: but they have all turned those things into successes and

432
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 3: it felt right. So basically, Somosa saying, this is why

433
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 3: we're doing this silly thing. Seventeen thousand square feet of sad, absurd,

434
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 3: sometimes even hilarious lessons in life and business.

435
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 2: So been animals, you gotta go.

436
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 3: A Museum of Failure will be opened through mid May,

437
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 3: with the possible extension into June.

438
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 2: Again.

439
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 3: This is a Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Have a slice of

440
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 3: pizza and go sit in that hulachair and barf it

441
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 3: all up.

442
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: Oh, that's great. And right around there used to be

443
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: and I think it was on I'm trying to remember

444
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: where it was. I think it was on twenty ninth

445
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: and fourth Avenue. There was a deli that you would

446
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 1: walk in the delhi like it was a bodega, and

447
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: then you would walk to the back and then walk

448
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: in between the.

449
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 2: Cool I went with you once, yes, and walk.

450
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: In between the coolers. And then there was a it

451
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: was a taco shop like back just like in a

452
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: little area that's like hidden behind coolers. I have no

453
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: idea why that, but it was so cool and they

454
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: were such good tacos.

455
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

456
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 3: And then they also had a liquor store that had

457
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 3: like vodka tasting chilled vodka on the back. In Sunset

458
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 3: Park but their big thing too is they had that

459
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 3: wine chiller and basically they would have that spinning water

460
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 3: wine chiller thing in the front, but you would go

461
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 3: in and just drink ice cold vodka with whoever was

462
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 3: sitting in the back. It was that Polish guy.

463
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember what his name is that was

464
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: like my liquor store, and he really loved Sobiesky vodka.

465
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: He would we got us really into Sobieski vodka. He

466
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 1: was just like, this is as good as that crap

467
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: that he hated the Russians. He's like as that ship

468
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: those Russians make, This is Polish vodka.

469
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 2: Yes, and that is the exact guy. Yes.

470
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 1: And then he would always whenever you come in, his

471
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: big thing was Sobieska made like a like a honey vodka,

472

Speaker 2: He was so funny.

482
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: I can't remember his name either. Everyone who used to

483
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: live around there is now yelling at me.

484
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 3: I did a wine tour in Napa and Sonoma over

485
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 3: a long weekend.

486
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 2: It was actually really fun.

487
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 3: It started with a friend if somebody I like briefly

488
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 3: dated who then became a friend. She's like, Hey, my

489
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 3: buddy's in town from London. Her partner just got a

490
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 3: job in Napa. He works at this huge vineyard and

491
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 3: he's like the caretaker of the land there year round,

492
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 3: maintaining everything. And she's like, they want to have us

493
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 3: up for dinner. Do you want to go? So I

494
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 3: drive up now it was it was called the Continuum.

495
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 3: It was Continuum Vineyards, and it was the Mandavi family,

496
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 3: which were like, you know, they made wine cheap in

497
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 3: America and then the dad sold it or something and

498
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 3: it like ruined the legacy. And so one of the

499
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 3: sons was very wealthy because everybody learned to love wine

500
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 3: back in the seventies and eighties. I was like, I'm

501
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 3: going to make our family proud again. And he bought

502
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 3: the best land in Napa and created Continuum, which was like,

503
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 3: we're going to make incredible wines.

504
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 2: So that's where I go a not big wine drinker. Yeah,

505
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 2: that's fun. We're having dinner and everything is.

506
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: In your twenties.

507
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 2: This was my This was probably.

508
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 3: This was probably nine years ago, so I was in

509
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 3: my thirties for sure.

510
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: So you just moved to La.

511
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 2: Moved La.

512
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: Used to the idea that you have California at your fingertips.

513
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, had a really cool like she was like a girlfriend,

514
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 3: but she used to live in Paris, so we and

515
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 3: hang out all the time. And then when she was

516
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 3: here where she was like, let's go to this thing.

517
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 3: I was like absolutely. And they also they were like,

518
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 3: you can come pick grapes anytime our harvest season. We

519
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 3: just have people we know pick these grapes. I was like,

520
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 3: I would actually love to do that for one day.

521
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 3: So that was all fun, like hanging it continuum, seeing

522
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 3: how wine's made, or getting the tour, doing all the things.

523
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 3: Incredibly cool experience. And then the next day they're like, hey,

524
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 3: there's like a crafts fair and walk around the NAPA

525
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 3: and so because it's a NAPA, there's wine everywhere.

526
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 2: So and I'm not a huge wine drinker, and wine

527
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 2: makes me a very what's the right word for the

528
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 2: type of drunk.

529
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 3: It's like loopy, like silly, and so they were everybody's

530
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 3: selling wine goods, like you know, people have painted wine

531
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 3: glasses and it's like the ugliest baiting ever. But they

532
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 3: all have a bottle of wine at their table. They

533
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 3: all have nice wines. So they're like, would you guys

534
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 3: like a little sip? And You're like sure.

535
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 2: So you're walking around with a glass.

536
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 3: You're just drinking wine, every type, every every type of

537
00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 3: wine you can drink.

538
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,719
Speaker 2: Just mixing in your guts, just walking around.

539
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 3: And then I'm getting drunker and sillier and I'm like

540
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 3: being big too, silly probably, And then we get to

541
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 3: the thing where it's like, hey, this is like those

542
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 3: wine cork savor things if you don't finish the wine,

543
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 3: And I'm like, who doesn't finish a bout of the wine?

544
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 3: And like I'm just being there, like I like this guy,

545
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 3: he's an alcoholic. And then I realized that I'm just

546
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 3: laugh wine teeth, roasting all the products for an hour,

547
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 3: and every time I turn around, Jessica and her two friends,

548
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 3: including the guy that runs Continuum, are like crying laughing

549
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 3: because I'm just shooting straight.

550
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 2: I'm getting real honest with these people.

551
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 3: And the last table I walk up to it, I go,

552
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 3: what are these ear rings and navel rings? And they go,

553
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 3: these are wine bangles or something they go around the

554
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 3: stem to Hey, these are wine bangles to go around

556
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 3: glass apart from anybody else's. And I just go, oh,

00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: It was so hard to do.

630
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 2: It, just so hard.

631
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: I think I pulled it off like once or twice

632
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: as a twelve year old. But it's just such a

633
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,959
Speaker 1: quick shoot you up in the air.

634
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:19,080

636
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 3: on like a quarter pipe eight eight. Shit, so incredibly hard.

637
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 3: Now when I watch anybody just drop in on a

638
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 3: halfpipe at all, I'm like, good for you.

639
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's amazing.

654
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:24,000

Speaker 3: Canadian and you live near there, you know what it is.

662
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,560

Speaker 2: Okay.

682
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm not going to read the subhatter because it

683
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: gives it away.

684
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 2: Here we go. I see.

685
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 3: Uh.

686
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: This was written by no credit, no credit, no author

687
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 1: is twelve News. That's the Army twelve News. Nobody wanted

688
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: to be associated Salt Lake City. Slow and steady wins

689
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 1: the race, right, Well, that was certainly the case twenty

690
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 1: years ago when an Australian speed skater made Olympics history

691
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 1: after he snuck up from behind his competitors to win

692
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: a gold medal. Stephen Bradbury was trailing behind all his

693
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 1: opponents in the thousand meter race at the Salt Lake

694
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: City Winter Olympics. On February sixteenth, two thousand and two,

695
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,879
Speaker 1: during the last stretch around the track, all the other

696
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: skaters crashed into each other and stumbled across the ice rick.

697
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: This sutted collision provided a clear pathway for Bradberry to

698
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: quickly skate across the finish light at first Place. His

699
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 1: opponents continued to slip and slide across the track, all

700
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 1: frantically attempting to reach the end. There was quote, there

701
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: was complete chaos that everybody fell down, Bradbury said after

702
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: the race.

703
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 2: Quote.

704
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 1: Given the way I won the race, I wasn't going

705
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,280
Speaker 1: to be the guy who went around pumping my fists.

706
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: I just put my arms up in disbelief. Bradbury's surprise

707
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: victory made him the first athlete from the Southern.

708
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 4: Hemisphere to win a gold medal at the Winter Olympics.

709
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: Though luck was on Bradbury's side, This is so fascinating.

710
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 1: This is like the story behind it is also awesome. Yeah,

711
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: Bradbury's surprise victory. Though the luck was on Bradbury's side

712
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 1: in two thousand and two, the skater had experienced his

713
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: fair share of disasters on the racetrack. Eight years before

714
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 1: his victory. Another skater's blade accidentally sliced Bradbury's leg at

715
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 1: a World Cup event, resulting in him kneeding over one

716
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 1: hundred stitches to repair the damage.

717
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 2: That's a huge cut. That's huge.

718
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,879
Speaker 1: But Bradbury learned to be a more cautious skater, which

719
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,760
Speaker 1: ended up playing in his favor in two thousand and two. Yes,

720
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: it is amazing, the video, will post the video. Yeah,

721
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: it is so so he is so far behind the group. Yes,

722
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: he's like so far behind the group. And then they

723
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 1: all cry into each other, and then he skates totally

724
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 1: standing up right, like not like hunched over the way

725
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 1: speed skaters are just right with his like hands bides

726
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: back across the finish line, and then everyone else is

727
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: like scrambling in a pile to try and cross and

728
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 1: get like the bronze and the silver.

729
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,240
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that is the best.

730
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: Love that story, isn't it wonderful? And also the fact

731
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 1: that there was like a reason behind why he was

732
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:33,240
Speaker 1: like hanging back two like, you know, it's so great,

733
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: it's so great. I love it. I love it the most.

734
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 2: I don't know. Oh that makes me so happy, man,

735
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 2: This is.

736
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 1: This just sparked a crazy memory for me. I don't

737
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: even know if this is a story, but that's okay.

738
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: I remember back in probably nineteen ninety nine, nineteen ninety eight,

739
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: when huge year, when when I first started improvising an

740
00:37:56,680 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: Upright Citizens Brigade theater in New York City. Yeah, is

741
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: in a group. And this is like for those of

742
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: you who are familiar with the UCB now or at

743
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: least before they they lost a bunch of the theaters

744
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 1: and stuff. It was a highly competitive theater.

745
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 3: Was very speak hard to get into, how to get

746
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 3: on the house teams, very hard.

747
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: This was right. I took like the first class after

748
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: they opened their doors with their actual space, and so

749
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: you kind of like if you finished level three, you

750
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 1: got to put on on a team. That was kind

751
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: of the situation at the time. And so we were

752
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: on a team called Neutrino, and they had this thing

753
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: called cage Match that would happen. I think it still does,

754
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 1: but this was like the first time cage match started

755
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: happening in New York City. It started in I think

756
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 1: in Chicago, and it was two improv teams and they

757
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: would compete against each other in a midnight show and

758
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: then the audience would determine who ones, and then the

759
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 1: person would continue on. And it was kind of a

760
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: as I say, this smaller the stakes in artistic in

761
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: small artistic communities, this small all are the stakes, the

762
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: more intense the rivalries and and anger about it is

763
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,439
Speaker 1: because there's no there's no recompense, there's no no one's

764
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: getting paid or anything like that.

765
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 2: It's just comedy subjective.

766
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 3: So like you could have done a brilliant improv scene, brilliant,

767
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 3: but then the people that are there were just like,

768
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 3: but the fart guy was farting funny, and you're like, damn,

769
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 3: the fart guy was farting funny.

770
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: And I remember it was our first time and we

771
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: were going up. We just happened to be going up

772
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 1: the very best against the very best group at the

773
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 1: theater who has had been there the longest, and we're

774
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: really really good, and we're like and we just we'd

775
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:38,919
Speaker 1: just become a team.

776
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you had some all stars on that team.

777
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: Yeah we're funny, but we still were just like, you know,

778
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: we're brand new, and we definitely had a worse show.

779
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 1: But then when voting came, we like we just had

780
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 1: people that we had ran out in the audience with

781
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 1: beer and gave everyone a beer.

782
00:39:58,600 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 2: So that we won.

783
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, that show biz baby, and the anger, the vitriol

784
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: that we faced from that moment on. We were never

785
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: like it was always in that crew. It was very

786
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: high school vibe.

787
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 2: You were the bad boys of comedy. I love it.

788
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were like they're the bad boys. And also

789
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 1: like they're like, they're no talents. Even though we were talented.

790
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: They were like everyone was like, they're no talents. And

791
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: because we had it out beer at this one thing,

792
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,800
Speaker 1: it was so stupid, but it kind of like bonded

793
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: us all together to be like, oh, where we're like

794
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 1: the enemies of the of all the other groups. That's

795
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: fine with us.

796
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, screw that. That is so.

797
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 3: It is true though, like the smaller the Steaks, Yes,

798
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 3: like they're sketch Fest in New York and San Francisco.

799
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 3: It's like a big deal. And when I was doing

800
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 3: Hot Dogs, which was like a Vice show, it was

801
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 3: like a web series. We got in and so I

802
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 3: get there. I get to the UCB, and I'm nice

803
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 3: and I like meeting people. So I'm walking up to

804
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 3: people in the hall way, I'm like, Hey, I'm Scottie

807
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 3: you know, ten years ship, fourteen years later, like people

808
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 3: who weren't cool, who were like competitive, and we're stay

809
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 3: in that back hallway under the old UCB, under the

810
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 3: old supermarket, drinking beers, and I can remember and it's

811
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 3: and you know, I I carry that chip on my

812
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 3: shoulders against those people this day. We were all young

813
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 3: and trying and I'm literally just being like, cool, you guys, sketch,

814
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 3: what do you do? And they'd be like, yeah, we're

815
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 3: doing live sketch. And I was like, oh, So now

816
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 3: when I see those people like hey, if anybody's got

817
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 3: any writing work or whatever, I'm looking for work, and

818
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 3: you know they're tweeting it, I'm like, tough shit, I

819
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 3: ain't helping you at all. You were mean to me

820
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 3: when I was twenty two, so you could kiss my eye.

821
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 2: I know, remember everybody, yeah, because.

822
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: The only yeah, it was like oh, it was just

823
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: such a the snarkiness was and like the in crowdness

824
00:41:58,840 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: was so gross.

825
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 2: Clickiness was terrible.

826
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: It was so terrible. And that's why I realized, like

827
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 1: I was happy to leave when I did.

828
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, they are.

829
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 3: It's weirdly because it's like, hey, we're a theater and

830
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 3: this is not me just dumping on UCB. This is

831
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:16,280
Speaker 3: like anything any town anywhere that has the improv team

832
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 3: or they're a funny comedy club or whatever. There's always

833
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,919
Speaker 3: a hierarchy and there's always clicks, and it's like, guys,

834
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 3: your job is to make strangers laugh.

835
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 2: Just be cool with each other.

836
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:28,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, like just be like to community, build a community. Instead,

837
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 3: it's just like, oh, she that's kind of my premise.

838
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 3: They stole my joke.

839
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: You're like, relax, Yeah, it is so fascinating. All right,

840
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: give me another one, Scottie.

841
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 3: I got another one, you know what. Also that your story,

842
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 3: the skating story reminded me. I wrote a pilot three

843
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 3: or four years ago based on the article by Steven Leckhart.

844
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,439
Speaker 2: That it didn't get me into a show. I think

845
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 2: it might turn into a movie.

846
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 3: But it's this really great story about a guy named

847
00:42:55,000 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 3: Tom Justice, real person, crazy name, and he was an

848
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 3: Olympic cycling hopeful who just didn't take it seriously enough

849
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 3: and became kind of a slacker in the nineties, and

850
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 3: then he got really serious about it. And ended up

851
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,919
Speaker 3: getting injured, so he didn't make the Olympics. He didn't

852
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 3: make the US Olympic cycling team. But then the adrenaline

853
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 3: rush was still in him and he still wanted to

854
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 3: be the best, and he had this deep burning desire,

855
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 3: so he started robbing banks using only his bicycle. Oh

856
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 3: my god, and he wore the first time he did it.

857
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 3: He's from Illinois, from Liberty, Libertyville something like that, Liberty

858
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 3: somewhere Illinois, and.

859
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 2: He no where was he for? Yeah, I think that's right.

860
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 2: And so he would ride.

861
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 3: He would get dressed up, the first time he did,

862
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 3: he wore a wig and like Jackie O NASA's glasses

863
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 3: and like this crazy thing, and then just passed a

864
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 3: note and they gave him the money. And then he

865
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 3: would walk where he had hidden his bike, strip off

866
00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 3: his costuming and he'd have a full bike bike pants

867
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 3: and you know, bike shorts kit, and then he'd just

868
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 3: ride away because he was like a sprinter on his bicycle,

869
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 3: so he could go like zero to thirty and like

870
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:11,280
Speaker 3: five three pedal strokes. Yeah, and he robbed I believe

871
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 3: it was twenty six banks over four years, using no weapons,

872
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 3: using notes and a bicycle. Whoa, wow, it's one of

873
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 3: the greatest stories. And yeah, I just like read the

874
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 3: article Steven Leckhart wrote it. It was incredible and they

875
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:28,919
Speaker 3: called him choir Boy. The FBI was trying to figure

876
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 3: out because he was robbing in different states, because he

877
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 3: would hold his hands in front of him in pair

878
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 3: prayer pose to show he wasn't like a threat after

879
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 3: passing the note and then taking it back saying like

880
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 3: empty your tail. And so they just had this polite

881
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 3: guy that like, excuse me, thank you so much, and

882
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 3: then he would leave after robbing banks twenty six banks

883
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 3: in four years, crazy.

884
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: Twenty six before that's crazy.

885
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 3: And he they had no idea who he was, Like,

886
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,359
Speaker 3: he made a bunch of mistakes towards the end that

887
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 3: cost him. But if he had stopped around eighteen, they

888
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 3: had I had no idea his friends and family did it,

889
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 3: No nobody knew and he was so it was just

890
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 3: it took the guts to go do it. So good

891
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 3: for that skater for just having the guts to do it.

892
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 2: Justice.

893
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 1: I listened to a podcast that was somewhat similar, but

894
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 1: this was about the guy who I think still to

895
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:26,240
Speaker 1: this day has the the the FBI's record for having

896
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 1: robbed the most amount of banks in the shortest amount

897
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: of time. He robbed something like fifty six banks all

898
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 1: up and down California coast. And he was an engineer

899
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 1: for he would build airplanes and then and then got

900
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: addicted to oxyconton just for his his doctor prescribed it

901
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 1: to him, right, and then started using heroin and then

902
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 1: started robbing banks and it and but he was like this,

903
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 1: he had an engineer's mindset and he knew all of

904
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 1: the laws and stuff. So he like he like literally

905
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: like they had no idea who was doing it. And

906
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: it was just like a series in a row. And

907
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 1: of course eventually he gets caught and everything. But there's

908
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 1: interviews with him and everything. And I can't remember the

909
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 1: name of the podcast.

910
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 2: Wall figure it out.

911
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 3: The murder bananas are true crime fiends first, banana head second.

912
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 2: Okay.

Speaker 3: was during the corpus post when he was hitting the

936
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 3: face by falling iguana. Earlier this month, the Miami New

937
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:57,319
Speaker 3: Times reported, I didn't see it coming. It felt like

938
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 3: a sandbag hit me in the face. The victim, who

939
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,920

940
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 1: As man he should only be identified as yoga Bud.

941
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, or iguana mic like, this guy's blowing it. Don't

942
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:13,879
Speaker 3: go be proud that you got smashed in the face

943
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 3: by reptile. The first thing that went through my head

944
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 3: was it must have been a coconut. That would have

945
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,359
Speaker 3: been scary, but there were no coconut trees. And then

946
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 3: I thought maybe the guy next to me slugged me.

947
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 3: But I mean, we're in a yoga class. It's so common, peaceful.

948
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 3: Why would a guy hit me? Michael's cool Iguana mic rocks.

949
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 3: The class was live streamed.

950
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 1: No, it was.

951
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 2: I don't worry. I checked. You can't see it. It sucks.

952
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 3: The class was live stream by instructor Anna Margaret Sanchez.

953
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 3: At the end of the video, just before the forty

954
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 3: eight minute mark, Sanchez and others who are attending the

955
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:51,240
Speaker 3: class can be seen and heard audibly gasping and laughing

956
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 3: at the iguanaphaut, which happens off screen.

957
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:58,360
Speaker 2: Tragic. That is why the great tragedies of modern times.

958
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 3: Sanchez quickly becomes a concern, gets up and says, oh no,

959
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 3: as she heads over to see if Iguana Mike needs help.

960
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 3: Paramedics who were already in the park could be seeing

961
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:16,760
Speaker 3: could be seen carrying sunflowers as they respond to the scene.

962
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:21,919
Speaker 2: What what okay? What is happening at Legion Park.

963
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 3: Sanchez came back to the streaming video a few seconds

964
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 3: later to end the class, saying, I'm going to take

965
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 3: care of somebody that just got an iguana dropped on

966
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 3: his face. All right, I'll see you next week. This

967
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 3: is one of the best. This is an incredible story.

968
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:37,959
Speaker 1: Really.

969
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:41,320
Speaker 3: In comment she later wrote on the videos, she wrote,

970
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 3: there was an iguana phyt and one fell out of

971
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 3: the tree. Unfortunately it dropped on our dear, dear Yogi Michael.

972
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 3: Thankfully Michael is safe, although he and we were all

973
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 3: a little shaken, thanks to the amazing paramedics that just

974
00:49:56,520 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 3: happened to be there buying flowers. I mean, what if

975
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 3: what if Alias had landed and they witnessed this, What

976
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 3: if this was their first.

977
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 2: Experience with humanity.

978
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 3: Grips of them lie down, and then these green lizards

979
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 3: PLoP on their face, and then everybody panics, and then

980
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:18,359
Speaker 3: grown men and women carrying sunflowers come over and help

981
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 3: them and put them in a car with lights that

982
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 3: spin and shine. Thank you to the Yoginis and Yogis

983
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 3: that held the space for us. Love and gratitude. Michael

984
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 3: returned to yoga the following week.

985
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 2: It's gotta happen.

986
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:38,319
Speaker 1: Good job, Michael oh Man. He sleeps, He lays down

987
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: with his eyes open.

988
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, quiet away.

989
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,840
Speaker 1: If you probably could move if you saw it coming.

990
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 1: But to catch an iguana, just to.

991
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,959
Speaker 2: Be you know, you're lying there, What does a chivassima?

992
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 2: You're just laying there, breathing deep into into your.

993
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:59,720
Speaker 3: Belly, hailing, and then you get hit in the face

994
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 3: a warm lizard.

995
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 2: It's incredible.

996
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 1: I was walking olive home from school, I don't know

997
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 1: a couple months ago, and right in front of us

998
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 1: from a tall tree, a squirrel just fell out of

999
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 1: the tree and hit the sidewalk. All legs at spread outs. Wow, yeah,

1000
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 1: it's hit the sidewalk. And it sounded like like that

1001
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:27,320
Speaker 1: is the noise it made. I swear to God. And

1002
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 1: then it just jumped up and like ran away, but

1003
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 1: both all of it and I just stopped and then

1004
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:35,880
Speaker 1: just were like burst out laughing. But it is very alarming.

1005
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 1: You don't think animals who live in trees fall out

1006
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 1: of the trees very often. Turns out, I think they do.

1007
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 2: No.

1008
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,879
Speaker 3: When I did that acting class when Courtney Peroso, who

1009
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 3: is on the podcast, And I took an acting class

1010
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 3: in New York years and years and years ago, and

1011
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 3: a big component of it. Every day we would do

1012
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:54,920
Speaker 3: like two full hours of this thing called Lucid Body,

1013
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 3: which is like pretty rigorous.

1014
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:58,880
Speaker 2: Yoga and then movement.

1015
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 3: And the yoga I was young and you know, flexible,

1016
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 3: but it was hard, Like I remember going from like,

1017
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 3: oh yoga stretching to like, oh my god, this is

1018
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 3: so hard. And by the end we were all really fit.

1019
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 3: We were all able to access emotions by releasing these

1020
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 3: chakras and doing this fun thing. But the movement part,

1021
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 3: really I would get in the greatest headspace ever doing yoga,

1022
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 3: and I'd feel so ready to do these scenes. And

1023
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 3: then we would do the woman's name was Fay, and

1024
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 3: Fay would get up, and then we would do first position,

1025
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 3: and we would do DEMI play, and we would do play,

1026
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:37,279
Speaker 3: we do second position, we do third position. We're doing

1027
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 3: basics of dance and ballet and but so that's fine.

1028
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:44,839
Speaker 3: You get the flow going, you're going out, but it's

1029
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 3: a lot of like it's a lot of like.

1030
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:50,720
Speaker 2: Grown men that are feeling a little like, I don't.

1031
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:53,320
Speaker 3: Know, just awkward about it, I guess, and it was fine,

1032
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:57,319
Speaker 3: but then she saw I don't know why, but she

1033
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:01,799
Speaker 3: would always play cold play. I'm not a cold Play guy.

1034
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 3: A couple of weeks ago, you were like, whoever it was?

1035
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 3: I think it was Eden. Maybe somebody was like, what

1036
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:09,359
Speaker 3: were your song in hell be? And I had said

1037
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 3: Alicia Keys, But looking back, it honestly might be any

1038
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 3: cold Place song. It's so like emotional, but it was

1039
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 3: that song that's like dundon dun dundun dun dun du dundu,

1040
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 3: du dund dudu, and it's just like piano and we're

1041
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 3: doing She's gone first position, second position, and there's this

1042
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:31,760
Speaker 3: kid from North Carolina named Buck and they're like Buck

1043
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:35,960
Speaker 3: fingers out, and I'm like losing for a comedy writer.

1044
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 2: It is the weirdest scene.

1045
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 3: I'm a grown man just swinging my arms out and

1046
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 3: bowing and doing plais as cold plays just like bum.

1047
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 2: Bom boom bum bum bum bum bump.

1048
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 3: So all the hour of grueling yoga just gets completely negated.

1049
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 3: And it was so unlike any song, any song but

1050
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 3: cold I don't even know this song is called clocks

1051
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 3: or something. It was to this day, When I hear

1052
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 3: that song, I'm like, no, turn no off. Not relaxing

1053
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:10,239
Speaker 3: and embarrassing, Like I get rosy cheek just thinking about it. Anyways,

1054
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:12,720
Speaker 3: love yoga wish I got hit in the face with Iguana.

1055
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:13,840
Speaker 2: Sounds pretty exciting?

1056
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 1: Does sound pretty exciting, doesn't it? Heck yeah, dude, I'll

1063
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 3: actually does mean so much for the Bananas podcast.

1064
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 1: This is just a shout out to Katie to top

1065
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:43,359
Speaker 1: lease she's been doing. I noticed this on her Instagram,

1066
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 1: which is very, very funny. It was just like a

1067
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 1: while ago she was just posting these like weird photos

1068
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 1: with food and then sure and then the captions were insane.

1069
00:54:57,800 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 2: Yes, and so this.

1070
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 1: She wrote this article for Buzzy and I read this

1071
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 1: is what I love about her. She lives. She lives

1072
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:06,320
Speaker 1: the weird corners of the Internet with her real life.

1073
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:10,400
Speaker 1: This is her article. I had AI write my Instagram

1074
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:13,279
Speaker 1: captions and my friends did a wellness check on me.

1075
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:16,360
Speaker 2: That's cool.

1076
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 1: Uh so I'll just read a little bit of it.

1077
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:20,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, give me one.

1078
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 1: Like many people, I've been following the news capabilities of chat, GPT,

1079
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 1: other AI writing tools with a mix of fear and curiosity.

1080
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:28,800
Speaker 1: Seems to be a consensus that this will radically change

1081
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 1: the nature of work, but I'm not totally sure yet

1082
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: what it would actually do for me. And then I realized,

1083
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:35,480
Speaker 1: there's one thing in my life that feels like drudgery

1084
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 1: and obligation that I don't enjoy, posting to Instagram. What

1085
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: if I could get AI to write my Instagram captions?

1086
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:44,280
Speaker 1: Would the words seem human? Would it do a passable

1087
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:47,919
Speaker 1: job of seeming like an avocado toast eating millennial? Could

1088
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 1: it make posting to the grid feel less like a chure?

1089
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 1: Only one way to find out?

1090
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 2: Uh?

1091
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 1: So she does it. She uses this app called paragraph Ai,

1092
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,320
Speaker 1: which is like a keyboard pops up on your phone

1093
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:02,319
Speaker 1: in cool and it just like does it for you?

1094
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:03,240
Speaker 2: Great?

1095
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 3: Uh?

1096
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 1: And then you can like adjust it where it's like

1097
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:11,360
Speaker 1: informal to formal, friendly to assertive, pessimistic to optimistic.

1098
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:12,760
Speaker 2: Uh.

1099
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 1: It's the result is my first attempt at a caption

1100
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 1: involved a new flavor of goldfish Frank's Red Hot. They

1101
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 1: taste exactly like you'd imagine. Also, I want this goldfish.

1102
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 1: I would eat that nice second. It sounds great. Here's

1103
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:29,320
Speaker 1: what the AI came up with. I recently tried a

1104
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:33,880
Speaker 1: new flavor of goldfish crackers Spicy. It was a novelty flavor,

1105
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 1: and I was curious to see how it tasted. To

1106
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 1: my surprise, they were actually quite good. The flavor was

1107
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 1: a nice balance of spicy and salty, and I found

1108
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:43,359
Speaker 1: myself reaching for more.

1109
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 3: So it'd say also the using some people say quite

1110
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 3: too much, but animals, check yourself. You might be saying

1111
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 3: quite too much, just something. As a writer, I hear

1112
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:56,400
Speaker 3: people being like, well, that's quite nice, isn't it.

1113
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:58,720
Speaker 2: I'm like, you didn't need you didn't need the quite

1114
00:56:59,160 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 2: mm hmm.

1115
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:01,280
Speaker 1: They were actually quite good.

1116
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 2: They were quite good. Oh yeah, it drives me nice.

1117
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:07,799
Speaker 3: Quite unjust you might be saying just too much too

1118
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 3: be careful out there.

1119
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:09,560
Speaker 2: But yeah.

1120
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:12,440
Speaker 1: Basically, you can go to Katie Katie's Instagram and if

1121
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 1: you scroll down a little bit, you'll just anything. It's

1122
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 1: all food related. So she just reviews a bunch of

1123
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 1: different food and yeah, It's exactly what you would think

1124
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 1: for an Ai, but there was a lot of people

1125
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 1: who didn't know what she was doing because she didn't

1126
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 1: announce it, and so she had in high school. She's

1127
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 1: just started feeling bad, reaching out and being like, hey,
