1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: Pretty. Maybe I'll start it off today. What do you

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: say about that? Pal? Tickled pink? This is a nice

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 1: one sent in by just so many bananimals. Suspected burglar

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: caught after sitting down to finish reading a book. Wow,

5
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: we got a real bookworm here.

Speaker 1: Whoa your world? Would you mind? Billion pieces? Would you batten?

9
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: Guys, goals, non binary pals, Welcome to Bananas. I'm sitting

10

Speaker 1: And I'm facing face to face with the resplendent magnificent,

12
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: a man who can make even the most hardened, miserable

13
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: soul laugh out loud and roll on the floor laughing,

14
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: Kurt Brown Oler. Here we go, Hi, buddy. Things will

15
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: never be the same. Things will never be the same.

16
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 2: This is the first episode that we're recording since Bananas Fest.

17
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: It is Tuesday for us, Bananas Fest was Saturday.

18
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: Have you recovered my voice is scratchy, so I apologize

19
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: to those listening on noise canceling headsets. Yes, my voice

20
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: is still raspy, and it's from saying hello to around

21
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: one thousand people, having around eight hundred small chats, and

22
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: then going on with you and our amazing guests for

23
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: three hours of live comedy at Comedy Works.

24
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: In which Lauren, my wife, was our first guest. Wonderful,

25
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: What a wonderful guest. That was a rich, funny show.

26
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 2: And then Georgia and Karen were our guests for the

27
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: late show.

28
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: Pretty cool. First time they were together on stage for

29
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: a live show since I think twenty nineteen, since so

30
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen.

31
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 2: And people, when I say it hurt, all of us

32
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: wanted to cover our.

33
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: Ears like it was definitely it hurt our ears.

34
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 2: How much people immediately were in a standing ovation.

35
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: It was so crazy. Were crying, people were hugging, people

36
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: were jumping up and down and screaming.

37
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: A guy who works at Comedy Works said, I just

38
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 2: want you to know. It was louder than when Chappelle

39
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 2: showed up.

40
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: Good. I bet it was. It was impossible to be

41
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: louder than it was, to the point where I was nervous.

42
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: Karen and Georgia were just going to turn around and

43
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: walk back off stage because it became white noise. And

44
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: then it lasted, It started to die down just a

45
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: little bit and I just raised one hand like slightly,

46
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: almost like I was telling a choir to the hit

47
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: the chorus, and people got somehow louder. It was crazy crazy,

48
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: and that it was a great show and they were

49
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: so funny, and thank you for everybody who sent in

50
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: confessions and what he rathers and everything, because it just

51
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: was an incredible night of live comedy.

52
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 2: It was, and also it was the whole day, so

53
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: we think about twenty five hundred people came to the

54
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 2: street festival. Yeah, it was so neat and fascinating. Splitty

55
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: was the biggest it's ever been. Oh, it was incredible,

56
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: and it was through Denver in a really neat area

57
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: where we went over two separate bridges and then like

58
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: through multiple parks and it just.

59
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: It felt really really great. We're gonna be.

60
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: Posting some some drone footage that we got of it.

61
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: It really looks crazy as wild. It was insane.

62
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 2: And then we had six hundred and thirty eight. I

63
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 2: mean that blows me away that we for our tampon

64
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: toss to break the world's record. I anticipated three hundred

65
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: and fifty. I said, maybe if we're lucky, we get

66
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: five hundred people. Yeah, we had a lot of six

67
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty eight individuals toss one tampon in the

68
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: air at the exact same time for I Support the Girls,

69
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 2: and that was like so delightful.

70
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: That was the best. That was probably the most fun

71
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: part of all the events of the day. And then

72
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: I Support the Girls send us a very lovely email

73
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: saying that they were actually running so low on women's supplies, yeah,

74
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: that they were about to have to start turning away

75
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: some women for who needed tampons and instead, because not

76
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: only did we have six hundred and thirty eight people

77
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,799
Speaker 1: throw them, we had been animals bring boxes of one

78
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: hundred tampons, so they got something like two thousand tampons. Yeah, yeah,

79
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: it was crazy. It was a huge amount. So good

80
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: for you Ban Animals, great job. It was just two

81
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: of us you did the tossin.

82
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 2: Also, the production company that runs you know, street festivals

83
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 2: was shocked at how friendly, nice and kind the ban

84
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 2: animals were, Like, you're unbelievable. I am in awe of

85
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: everyone who who came out. It made it made me

86
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 2: like I'm now just kind of processing it, like seventy

87
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 2: two hours later, but the fact that someone from Scotland,

88
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: came out with her father.

89
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: What who has Steph Stark with.

90
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 2: Her father Jim Jim danced in the Charlie Fromage Dance competent.

91
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 2: Charlie Fromage Dance competition went off, was went off without

92
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 2: a hitch. It was so enjoyable to watch everyone dance

93
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 2: like Charlie Fromage. It's so stupid and so funny. It

94
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 2: was amazing the fact that we had We had people

95
00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 2: from Alaska, we had people from from from Iceland.

96
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: I mean, oh yeah.

97
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 2: It was the fact why so many people came in

98
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 2: from so far away.

99
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: It was I'm blown away. It's shock and also it

100
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: was shocking. It was incredible. I would say the greatest

101
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: I have three small points to make. First, the best

102
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: thing was the sheer number of people that came by themselves,

103
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: that made friends, who've told us they made friends, who

104
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: hung out with those people the entire day, and I'm hoping,

105
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: I mean honestly, maybe two hundred people did that. Yeah,

106
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: that they're friends for life. Even if Banana's one day fades,

107
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: Bananfesto goes away, they now have lifelong friends because they

108
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,119
Speaker 1: took a chance to do something silly in a city.

109
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: They don't live in and it worked two. I want

110
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: to thank everybody who reached out who got sick beforehand

111
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: and didn't come because they didn't want to get anybody

112
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: else sick. We had a few people who missed the

113
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 1: two live shows, so I'm sure have some huge regrets,

114
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: but they had COVID, or they had the flu, or

115
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 1: they had whatever, and they said, sorry, guys, I have

116
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: this available ticket. I don't want to be to get sick.

117
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: So thumbs up to you for caring about other people

118
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: and not being selfish and putting the crowd before yourself.

119
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: And then finally, the sheer number of volunteers, people that

120
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: are ban animals that came there and set things up

121
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: that helped us, that ran and got waters. That Brandy

122
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: who did a wonderful job setting up the Bananamal buddy

123
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: meet up the day before that. You and I went

124
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: to it, had a great time. Yeah, all of the volunteers,

125
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: and I will get the list from gum pop and

126
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: I will thank you all in a later episode. But

127
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: it meant so much that like people not only came

128
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: to have a good time, they also came just to

129
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: help out. And I feel like that is the spirit

130
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: of the whole community.

131
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 2: So many people made things for this and that is

132
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 2: what you know. When I first started doing comedy and

133
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 2: doing events, there was this and I think it's a

134
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: very male idea, but this idea of the auteur.

135
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean?

136
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 2: That, like, you simply cannot accept ideas from other people

137
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 2: or things from other people. It has to be all

138
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: you and you are somehow you make yourself less by

139
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 2: taking someone's idea. And I am so happy that that

140
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 2: Bananas is the exact opposite of that's right, because it

141
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: is such a toxic artist mentality that it all has

142
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 2: to be the fact that now just saying yes to

143
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,239
Speaker 2: everyone who offered that if you say yes to everyone

144
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 2: who offers it, like, it creates this thing that is

145
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 2: bigger than one person or one person's contribution, and then

146
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,400

151
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,040

211
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 2: long time, it's felt like doing a stupid, free thing

212
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 2: in the public that just is only there for itself

213
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 2: to exist.

214
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,600

Speaker 1: was so long, I was I lead the way, playing

216
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,880

217
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: back playing who let the Dogs Out? And in between

218
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: us two big banana bookends blasting the Baja Men were

219
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: about three hundred and fifty bananimals, maybe more, honestly, because

220
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: by the time we got to Laramer Square we had

221
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: started absorbing people off the street. Bananimals were like, come

222
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: join us. People were like, what is this? And Kurt

223
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: and I had megaphones. Anybody wearing anything remotely yellow, I

224
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: was yelling at them, you're already a banana, get in here.

225
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: And then I had two guys walking dogs with me.

226
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: I had people that were going, hey, become a part

227
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: of this. This is Banana's vest. So we probably took

228
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: on thirty tourists that were just like, we don't know

229
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 1: what you guys are doing. And then they're like, it's

230
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: for a podcast, like we've never heard of it, and

231
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: they got on board and then followed us and joined us.

232
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: So big shout out to all our new listeners since

233
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: Bananas Fest who just joined in on the festivities and

234
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 1: probably felt what we all felt. And my last thing

235
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: is I do want to thank specifically Benjamin and Paula

236
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: were the artists who made us my dream come true.

237
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: A giant banana with the cast. Everybody signed and if

238
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: you've seen the photos folks, if you're not on Instagram,

239
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: they're storing it for me first of all, until I'm

240
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: going to go fly out there or drive out there

241
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: and bring it back in a couple of weeks. And

242
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: are you going to put it in your house? Putting

243
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: it in my office? I'm going to mount it on

244
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:36,520

245
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 2: Yes.

246

Speaker 1: Stayd He sits down. He's not sitting on the bed.

289
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: He actually was to go to chair, but he's just

290
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: seeing the reading on the balcony. News of the failed

291
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: burglary attracted attention of the book's author, who told local

292
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: media he wanted to send the man a copy so

293
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: he could finish the read a smart smart of course

294
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: you would. That's the best way for that author. Selling

295
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: books is so hard. Yeah, just now you're getting free press.

296
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: Good for you. After being caught off guard, the alleged

297
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: thief reportedly attempted to make a quick getaway escape using

298
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: the same balcony, but was arrested shortly afterwards. He is

299
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: said to have told the police after he climbed down

300
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: the building. Oh, that he had climbed up the building

301
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: to visit a person he knew. I thought I'd ended

302
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: up in a B and B and I saw the

303
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: book and started to read it, he said. Giovanni Nucci,

304
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: the author of The Gods at six o'clock, which explains

305
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: the Iliad from the perspective of the gods, told hell

306
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: Massage Gira el Message Gerillo Jero the messager. I'm guessing

307
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: it's fantastic. I'd like to find the person red handed

308
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: and give him a copy of the book because he'll

309
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: have been arrested reading halfway through it, and I'd like

310
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: him to be able to finish it. It's a surreal story,

311
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: but also full of humanity, very positive. This is also

312
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: the thing if you're a cat burglar and you don't

313
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: have a weapon and you don't creep in the middle

314
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: of the night and you get busted and you climb

315
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: out the balcony and you don't take anything. Yeah, yeah,

316
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, nights in jail maybe two. Sounds like

317
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: you're you're exploring.

318
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 2: Also the fact that he was like I thought I

319
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 2: had ended up in an Arabian in a B it B,

320
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 2: just like, well, what Is that what you were expecting

321
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 2: through the balcony window.

322
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: Yes, And now as I say that, the thief was

323
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: reportedly in possession of a bag containing expensive clothing allegedly

324
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: stolen from another house earlier that evening, miss Nucci said

325
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: his personal favorite deity is Hermes. There we go. See,

326
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: this is why, this is why our number one Zara

327
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: Fatima is best in the biz. Just we're not going

328
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: to talk about anything else. Just who mister Nucci, the

329
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: author's favorite personal deity is Hermes, the god of thieves.

330
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: So there we go. He is also the god of literature.

331
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 1: It is clear everything fits perfectly, he joked. I mean,

332
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: come on, so good, oh man.

333
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 2: So I went went to the Glendale Public Library as

334
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 2: we do, to get books for Olive and Gus very good,

335
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 2: and it was slim pickens one day because they're kind

336
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 2: of they're renovating the kids section, so they don't have

337
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 2: all their books out. So I'm going through, and I'm

338
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 2: going through, and I'm going through, and I'm just with

339
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: Gus and some kind of keep an eye on Gus,

340
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: and I'm looking for Olive and I see a Greek

341
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 2: mythology book and I'm like, okay, great because Olive loves

342
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 2: Greek mythology. To listen to this podcast Greeking Out, which

343
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 2: if you have kids like six and older, Greeking Out

344
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 2: is excellent, excellent podcast for them.

345
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: But and so I get this book.

346
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 2: I bring it home, and what I don't realize because

347
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 2: I'm getting a lot of books. We get like forty

348
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 2: books at a time, right, is it's the Uh it's

349
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 2: called the Adventures the Adventures of Oedipus.

350
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: Okay, one event.

351
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 2: And so then I look on the front one and

352
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 2: I was like, the adventure is plural, And I was like, oh,

353
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 2: I just thought there was only one Oedipal tale, which

354
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 2: is of him fucking his mom and killing his dad, right,

355
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 2: And I was like, I guess there's more.

356
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: And I still haven't looked at it.

357
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 2: So Olive comes in first book, she goes to picks

358
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 2: up Oedipus, flips it over and right there she reads

359
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 2: the thing and it just says you will marry your

360
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 2: mother and kill your father.

361
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: And she went yeah.

362
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 2: She just started laughing so hard and she was so

363
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 2: into it. She and then I had like take it.

364
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 2: I was like, we don't. I was like, oh, I

365
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 2: thought there was going to be another adventure of Oedipus. Nope,

366
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 2: this is his only ad sure, And so I had

367
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 2: to like be like, no, we're not going to read

368
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 2: this right now. And I had to hide it because

369
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 2: she just kept walking around going, you will marry your

370
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 2: mother and kill your father.

371
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: Oh, good news for Laren, bad news for you. That's

372
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: pretty good.

373
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 2: She just thought it was the funniest idea in the

374
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 2: entire world.

375
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: She could have got over it. That is, I mean,

376
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 1: it is. It is a funny idea. And it is

377
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: amazing that that story, of all stories we all know,

378
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: edible comp I mean we all know edle. I think

379
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 1: it's because of Freud. Yeah, yeah, we all know. Yeah,

380
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: he was obsessed. I've also read people's like critiques of

381
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: Freud and they're like, calmed down. It can't always just

382
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: be that.

383
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 2: I know, it's so crazy. It's not all dicks.

384
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: Bruh. No. My, when when we're still living in Brooklyn,

385
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: my buddy Ryan and his wife Rebecca hosted a shrimp

386
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: boil like they're from Florida, and so they wanted to

387
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: do sort of like a just a seafood like a

388
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: type of crawfish boil thing in the city, and so

389
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: it's great, and they did it. We're all drinking way

390
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 1: too much and doing way too many shots, and it

391
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: was a really fun, unexpected Brooklyn night. And the next

392
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: morning it was a mess because it's a boil, so

393
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: everybody's peeling and eating shrimp, and you know, you got

394
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: to get all the seafood ingredients out of the house.

395
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: So I was like, hey, I'll come back. I'll help

396
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: you clean up in the morning. I was always famously

397
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: never hung over until I don't know, in my late thirties,

398
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 1: And so the next morning I came back up and

399
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: Ryan's like, dude, you got to go talk to Rebecca.

400
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay. So after the party, at like two am,

401
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: Ryan so drunk like all of us that he passes

402
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 1: out on the sofa in the living room of their apartment,

403
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 1: and Rebecca's cleaning up and doing a little tidying and

404
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: washing her face and doing stuff, and she hears movement

405
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: in their guest bedroom and assumes it's me. She assumes

406
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 1: I passed out also and that i'd come to and

407
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: that I was going to leave, and she opened she

408
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: knocks and opens the door and watches a man opening

409
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: bedroom window from the fire escape. And coming into their

410
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: apartment she's never seen. Oh my god, that's so terrifying. Yes,

411
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: and so she screams at him first like get out

412
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: of here, or like who the fuck are you? Get

413
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: out of here, and then runs into the living room

414
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: from the guest room and is yelling at Ryan to

415
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: wake up. Ryan is passed out drunk. No, he does

416
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: not get up.

417
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 2: No.

418
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: So then this man that she's never seen before. Also,

419
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: I should say they lived on the fourth floor of

420
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: a brownstone. They had the top apartment and then the

421
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: roof deck on top. Oh my god. So this guy

422
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: came up three floors of fire escape and found that

423
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 1: that bedroom window was unlocked for whatever reason, probably people

424
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: smoking cigarettes joints out there during the party. And so

425
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 1: she's screaming at her husband to wake up, and then

426
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: she's also turning and screaming at the man who's standing

427
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: in their apartment. And she said that the guy looked

428
00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: around and then she said get out, and like pointed

429
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: where the front door is, and he went down a

430
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: flight of stairs. Their apartment had stairs up into the

431
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: main floor, and then just walked out the door and

432
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: never came back, didn't say anything, didn't take anything, didn't

433
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: do anything. Just we like to think that he was

434
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: so hungry and on drugs that he smelled the shrimp

435
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: boil and then climbed up there to see what was

436
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: going on. The party was already over, and so Ryan

437
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: slept through one hundred percent the entire thing. She said.

438
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 1: When the guy, so the man walks into their living

439
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: room kitchen area, because it's a broken apartment, things are connected,

440
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: She's standing near her past ole husband yelling get out,

441
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 1: to get out of here. That guy leaves, she runs downstairs,

442
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 1: locks the door behind him right away, then runs back

443
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: upstairs to lock the window. And she said her biggest

444
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: fear was that he was just going to do the

445
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 1: same thing again on some like weird loop where he

446
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: was like, you know how drunk people sometimes repeat themselves

447
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: and tell you the exact same story and they laugh

448
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: at the exact same moment and yeah, and then in

449
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: the morning he was like, she swears it's true, and

450
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm listening to this story and I'm like, dude,

451
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: come on. She's like, I was shaking him to wake up,

452
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: and he's just like smiling and sleeping on the sopha.

453
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 1: Nothing bad happened, Nothing was stolen. But whoa babude just

454
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: to see a stranger coming through your window?

455
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I think about it every single night. For

456
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 2: some reason, I never thought about it in New York,

457
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 2: and then in Los Angeles. Now I think about it

458
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 2: every night. Or is a go to bed every single night?

459
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 2: I imagine it? That is like, I think that's one

460
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 2: of my biggest fears. Is a home invasion?

461
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess, but they're so unlikely, they like, they're right,

462
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: They're like the most unlikely thing to happen. I mean

463
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: that being said, It's happened to me twice, and both

464
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: times I chased the person out and I was lucky. Yeah,

465
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: and Brooklyn once I've told that story.

466
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 2: Then the guy with the bat, Hey, what was the

467
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 2: second time?

468
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: The NLA the Yeah, the two nights before to Chinese exchange,

469
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: students came to my house thinking that my cabin was

470
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: their Airbnb rental, and so I politely told them get

471
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: away from my house. I didn't know who they were.

472
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: I had no idea they were coming. And then the

473
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: owner of the airbnb next door was like, sorry, those

474
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: guys just landed at midnight. They don't know where they are.

475
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: My apologies and they did have like backpacks on. And

476
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: then then like two nights later, somebody opens up my

477
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: fence my gate to get in my backyard, and I

478
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: thought it was Airbnb again, so I just yelled wrong

479
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: house as tough as I could, just like row house,

480
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: and they froze and backed up and relocked the gate

481
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: and then ran up my stairs and out of there.

482
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: And then I checked my security camera and yeah, it

483
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: was just some dude who I think was trying to

484
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: steal stuff from under my deck and off my yard,

485
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: or was a graffiti artist who was going to jump

486
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 1: my back fence. I faced the valley and tag my fence.

487
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: So that being said, our good Louisville slugger did the

488
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: trick both times. And that's a bat, folks. And that's

489
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: about folks hit us with a story. Kurtibee, Hey you go, pal.

490
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 2: Startup alarmed when it's Ai starts Rick rolling clients.

491
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, our alarm is a weird word for that. Actually,

492
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: right delighted, you love it, you love it. I like

493
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: he's he's really had a great resurgence. Like everybody just

494
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,479
Speaker 1: loves Rick Astley. Now I know still got the pipes. Uh.

495
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 2: This was sent in by Shoshana at Shashka Bob on Instagram.

496
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you Shoshana. That's a pretty name.

497
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 2: Uh. This was in the Bite uh and written by

498
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 2: nor Al Sabay. A lot of people are talking about

499
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 2: saying they are the best in them.

500
00:26:58,560 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: Heads will roll.

501
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,959
Speaker 2: We reached a new milestone in the Uncanny Valley. Folks

502
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 2: ais are now rickrolling humans. In a now viral post

503
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 2: on ex formerly Twitter Flow, Cravello, the CEO of the

504
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 2: AI assistant firm Lindy, explained how this bizarre mimetic situation

505
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 2: or memedic situation I don't know, featuring Rick Astley's nineteen

506
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 2: eighty seven hit Never Going to Give You Up, came

507
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 2: to pass known as Lindy's the company's AI assistant, Lindy's Wait,

508
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 2: the AI assistant known as Lindy's lindis I don't know,

509
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 2: it's l I n d ys.

510
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: The company is a pretty country name. If they went

511
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 1: with Lindy like, you rarely meet a Lindy anymore. That's

512
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: not driving a pontiac.

513
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 2: The company's AI assistants are intended to help customers with

514
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 2: various tasks. Part of a Lindy's job is to teach

515
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 2: clients how to use the platform, and it was during

516
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 2: this task that the AI helper provided a link to

517
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 2: a video tutorial that wasn't supposed to exist a customer

518
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 2: reach out asking for video tutorials, Cravella wrote in his

519
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 2: now viral tweet threat about hilarious tobaccle, we obviously have

520
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 2: Lindy handling this, and I was delighted to see that

521
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 2: she sent a video. But then I remember we don't

522
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 2: have a video tutorial, he continued, and realized Lindy is

523
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 2: literally fucking rickrolling our customers. And a screen recording of

524
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 2: the incident, Cravello further demonstrated the asistant did indeed provide

525
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,199
Speaker 2: the customer with a link to the never Gonna Give

526
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 2: You Up video, which is exactly how memurs for the

527
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 2: better part of last two decades have trolled each other.

528
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 2: Though he's not interly sure, entirely sure how it happened,

529
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 2: the Lindy CEO and founder told tech Crunch that he

530
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 2: has a theory about how his AI assistants figured out

531
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 2: how to execute this specific brand of Internet humor.

532
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: Quote.

533
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 2: The way these models works is they try to predict

534
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 2: the most likely, not the most likely, next.

535
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: Sequence of tech.

536
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 2: So it starts like, oh, I'm going to send you

537
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 2: a video, So what's most likely after that YouTube dot com?

538
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 2: And then what's most likely after that is rick. It's

539
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 2: just yeah, if we're doing it, that's the craziest thing.

540
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: This is what I've been thinking about.

541
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 2: We're because of the fact that we're just training all

542
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 2: these ais on us. We're just making little us.

543
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, dumb children.

544
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're just making little us. And then eventually little

545
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 2: us is going to become smarter us.

546
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: But we're not. We're not.

547
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 2: Oh so you think there might be like a stopping

548
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 2: point or it.

549
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: Goes like it's I think there's a chance that like

550
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: we are smarter now than ever in history, like educated

551
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: people now, not you and me, but it's our world.

552
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: Our friend Laurel Bristow, she's smarter than people five hundred

553
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: years ago or five thousand years ago, or we are,

554
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: and yet we're still so stupid. Yet we are the

555
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: dumbest species there is. So I feel like if it

556
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: is a replica of us, it will advance very quickly

557
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: and there'll be this general layer of intelligent reaches and

558
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: and then for some reason, dumb shit like this will

559
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: never stop happening, and maybe it gets even dumber. Like

560
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: I saw a thing two days ago, an article that

561
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: was a student got in trouble because the teacher said

562
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: they The teacher asked chat gpt if it had written

563
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: this paper, and chat GPT lied and said, yes, I

564
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: wrote this paper. And then they ran it through two

565
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: other sort of AI tests, and the teacher realized that

566
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: chat gbt was lying in the student was telling the truth,

567
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: and wrote a letter to the student apologizing, Wow, So

568
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: that to me means it is becoming more like humans. Yeah,

569
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: that's crazy. You know. It is kind of like, I you,

570
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: we're all so reliant on technology now. But then I

571
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: was reading that the Internet is now fifty seven percent

572
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: bots or something, so like, now AI is learning stealing

573
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: stuff on the Internet that's actually just bots. So it's

574
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: sort of digesting itself. And I don't know. I'm sure.

575
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're one day it's gonna be great and

576
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: cure cancer or something and do and then we're all

577
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: gonna go yay, there's no more Alzheimer's. Thank you AI.

578
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: But it does kind of feel like if because hub

579
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: it's made it, it will also remain sort of delightfully

580
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: stupid the entire time and send memes of Rick Astley too. Yeah.

581
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 2: But also, hey, scientists, could we go a little quicker

582
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 2: on the AHI curing cancer part?

583
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: Yeah?

584
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 2: And less quick and less quick on the AI taking

585
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 2: jobs of creatives?

586
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,239
Speaker 1: Can we just please like cure cancer? That's exactly what

587
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: we want AI to do.

588
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 2: That's all we wanted to do.

589
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: Yes, detect things so radically early that we could treat

590
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: them before they're a problem. Let's do that. We don't

591
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: need you to take the weekend song and put Taylor

592
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: Swift's voice in it, even though it was kind of cool.

593
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: What was your first What was the first meme you

594
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: remember seeing on the internet? Is there one that you

595
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: go what is this? And somebody goes, that's a meme? Oh,

596
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: that's a great question. It has to start somewhere.

597
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think maybe maybe, Oh, I remember it was

598
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 2: a video, but it was this little dog, probably a pug,

599
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 2: and it was to this song by Nerd and eat

600
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 2: r D.

601
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: I'm a gangster, I think. Or it's like.

602
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 2: Bound out, bound out, bound out, but now bound out. Yeah,

603
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 2: and uh, and it's like a shot of the dog

604
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 2: and then a shot of a giant Pokemon and then

605
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 2: a shot of the dog and then a shot of

606
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 2: the Pokemon, and then the dog just go into town.

607
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: Humping that Pokemon.

608
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 2: Fantastic and it just is and he and the dog

609
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:52,719
Speaker 2: is doing it so excitedly to hump this Pikachu that

610
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 2: it's just is a beautiful thing to watch.

611
00:32:55,760 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: Beautiful that it was implanted. The three that all come

612
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: to mind for me is one is the one that

613
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure you remember, because you also know a little

614
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: bit more about computers than I do, but not a

615
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: lot more. We're both pretty not great at them. Somebody

616
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: had sent me the thing on it on American Online

617
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: on AIM messaged me and I clicked the link and

618
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: it opened up my disk drive to be a free

619
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: drink holder. I remember my mind was blown. Somebody was like, hey,

620
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: open this, and I clicked a link which already is

621
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: so innocent online where you're like huh, And then the

622
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: tower of my Dell or Gateway computer I think it

623
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: was a gateway just the disk drive came out and

624
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: said congratulations, you have a free cup holder, and I'm

625
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: like genius. But that was my freshman year of college.

626
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: And the two that I really remember is one sent

627
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: me early gift or an early gift, however you say it.

628
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: And it was Yoda standing behind a sheep, a single sheep,

629
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: and when you opened it, Yoda said, big penis you have? Yes?

630
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: That's it. That's so dumb. It's not even Eddy connection whatsoever.

631
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: Big penis you have? Yes? And I was not the

632
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: biggest Star Wars fan then and I'm not now, but

633
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: I was like, if this is the internet, sign me up?

634
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: And then and then the other was one day somebody

635
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: are are the UMass website that we had to sign

636
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: up for things? Somebody had hacked it, and I believe

637
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: the Sesame Streek character was Telly. Was that the red one?

638
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: Remember there was one Sesame Street's like.

639
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 2: I think red and he's big and he's kind of dumb.

640
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Telly monster Telly. I think it was Telly. But

641
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: it was just Telly headbanging to a metal song for

642
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: like four hours before the administration could get to it.

643
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 1: That is the That is what.

644
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 2: The other one that I was gonna mention it was

645
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 2: a bunch of muppets singing.

646
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: Beastie boys. I think check your head. Ah, that was

647
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: pretty good. I remember that one too. Hold on, let

648
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: me look into Telly because it is Telly. Telly Monster

649
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: is a slightly neurotic young monster who lives at three

650
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: one three zero four Sesame Street. Early on, Telly was

651
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 1: often paired with Oscar the Grouch, whom he tried to

652
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: befriend against tremendous odds. Ah, poor Telly. The two were

653
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: traveling companions and follow that bird. Let's see. Yeah, so

654
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 1: Telly is just a neurotic sack puppet. Okay, that's I

655
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:37,240
Speaker 1: didn't know they were called sack puppets. It's an educational podcast.

656
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 2: It is, but I'm very excited that they're called sack puppets.

657
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 2: That makes them sound like little pieces of garbage.

658
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, this is so good. His original television form,

659
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: he was television obsessed, and his habit of watching TV

660
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: just inches away from the screen was perceived as a

661
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 1: bad example for children. And he has spiral pupils his eyes.

662
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: His pupils black dots. They are actually red spirals from

663
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: sitting too close to the TV.

664
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 2: That is so funny that a TV show is telling

665
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 2: kids to not watch so much TV.

666
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: Yeah. Another of Telly's most definable traits curt is his

667
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: affinity for triangles.

668
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,720
Speaker 2: Oh of course, Yeah, Lou Berger.

669
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: Who invented him, said that he wanted to give Telly

670
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: a passion for something outside of being neurotic. Cap inspired

671
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: when his son was playing with some triangles at home.

672
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: All right, great, I love it. How about that? Look

673
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: at that?

674
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 2: Give me another one, Scottie, give me a title and

675
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 2: then send us into some thumbs up.

676
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: Teacher fired after his phone reveals just how long he

677
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: played candy Crush during classes. Wow. Wow, I played it.

678
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 1: Never played at one time? I never pad is that?

679
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: M First of all, this isn't even a thumbs up.

680
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: I just have to report back. So a little while ago,

681
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,439
Speaker 1: we did a story about a woman who it took

682
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: her twenty years to finish AT's Crusstitch and thanks to

683
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: the Banana bal Network, Mary Lofus emailed the Bananas Podcast

684
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: at gmail dot com, which you can too, and she

685
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: said she was the woman who it took her decades

686
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 1: to finish the hedgehog playing the saxophone. And she said, sorry, Scottie,

687
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: I won't sell it because it has been a part

688
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: of my life for so long. Mary, that is the

Speaker 2: it is enjoyable to watch.

704
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 1: I wrote three very fun scenes that I recently watched

705
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: and felt some glimmer of pride about. They got the

706
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: job done and they are funny. Rachel Brown is thumbing

765
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: just how long he played Candy Crush during classes. Right,

766
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: this was on NDTV India News. And then I think

767
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: it's just the Indian news staff that'swing in India News staff.

768
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: Nobody wanted their personality pasted to this one. Some ball Utar,

769
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 1: Pradesh addiction to the mobile game Candy Crush cost a

770
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: teacher in a government school his job. The teacher has

771
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: been suspended for paying, playing candy crush on his phone,

772
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: and talking on his phone during school hours. The incident

773
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: came to light when the district Magistrate raj Rajendra Pencia

774
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,720
Speaker 1: went to the school for random check and found scores

775
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: of mistakes in the student's copies, starting from the first

776
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: page to the last page. Just scores of mistakes. Scores

777
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,800
Speaker 1: is a great word. Everybody should be using scores more

778
00:42:56,440 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 1: in twenty A score is twenty four score and twenty

779
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: years Yeah that is yes? Is it twenty No? I

780
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 1: have no idea to look it up. We got the internet. No,

781
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:12,720
Speaker 1: how long is the score? Guessing? I like guess it? Well,

782
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 1: twenty years kurty b you're on it four score and

783
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 1: twenty years ago.

784
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 2: Wait, four score and twenty years ago. Why wasn't it

785
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 2: five score? Why wasn't it just one hundred years four

786
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 2: score and twenty years ago?

787
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,919
Speaker 1: Just as one eighty seven years? Yeah? Oh eight?

788
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 2: What so then a score can't be four score and

789
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:32,439
Speaker 2: oh it's four score and seven years ago?

790
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 1: Yeah it was a that's the saying, and also a hey,

791
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 1: just say eighty seven years ago? Man, that's we.

792
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:43,919
Speaker 2: Wouldn't know the speech if he said eighty seven years ago.

793
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,800
Speaker 1: But that's even funnier that this random check found scores

794
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 1: of mistakes on the student's copies. So let's just say

795
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: just by twenties. We'll go with eighty eighty mistakes from

796
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 1: the first page the last four score miss mistakes. Later,

797
00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: a feature on the teacher's phone which hours dedicated applications,

798
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,280
Speaker 1: revealed that he spent two hours playing candy Crush every

799
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 1: single day. That is, so one fourth of his day

800
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:15,800
Speaker 1: he was playing candy Crush. Teachers should focus on checking

801
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 1: the classwork and homework of the students and ensure that

802
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 1: they get equality quality education. Also, using mobile phones is

803
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: not a problem, but using them for personal reasons during

804
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: school hours is just not right, said the district magistrate.

805
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 1: Mister Poncia checked six pages of six students copies and

806
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: spotted ninety five mistakes, wow, with nine being on the

807
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: first page alone. He expressed displeasure about this and checked

808
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: assistant teacher Pream Goyle's phone. The digital Wellbeing feature on

809
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 1: that teacher's phone then revealed that the five and a

810
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: half hours of school. During the five and a half

811
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: hours of school, Priam Goya spent over two of them

812
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,280
Speaker 1: playing candy crush, talked on the phone for twenty six minutes,

813
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: and used social media apps for thirty minutes. So it's

814
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 1: really three fifths of the day he spent or he

815
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 1: or she spent just candy crushing it up, texting buddies,

816
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: chatting on the phone, and looking at social media apps.

817
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: It turns out I should have been a teacher. The

818
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: district magistrate apprized the state Education Department of the matter,

819
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: who took cognizance of the same. It suspended the assistant

820
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: teacher indefinitely. There you go, there it is, there it is.

821
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 2: I've had some bad I've had some bad teachers in

822
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 2: my time, but they were mostly bad because they were

823
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:50,720
Speaker 2: they were monks, and they had dedicated themselves to Christ

824
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 2: and not to teaching, and they just happened to be

825
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 2: at a.

826
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 1: Place that had a school.

827
00:45:55,960 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 2: So they're like, hey, person who doesn't have any ability

828
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:04,359
Speaker 2: or skill or desire to be a teacher, you're now

829
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 2: a teacher. And that is the worst system on the planet.

830
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't want to force teaching the teachers that

831
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 1: loved being a teacher. My mom loved being a teacher.

832
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: She loved it. Yeah, nothing better than teachers who love

833
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 1: being teachers the greatest people in the world.

834
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 2: Every lay person at that school was one of the

835
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:29,319
Speaker 2: best teachers I've ever had, And every monk that I

836
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 2: had was the absolute worst teacher that I've ever encountered

837
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 2: in my entire life.

838
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: Matt Besser, Matt.

839
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:39,799
Speaker 2: Besser is the worst teacher I've ever had in my

840
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 2: entire life.

841
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 1: Across the board. That makes a lot of sense. I

842
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: this story reminded me. I worked at a greenhouse between

843
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: my freshman year and sophomore year in college. It was

844
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: called rad Ball's Greenhouse. It was in Towson, Maryland. We

845
00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 1: planted everything, mostly flowers, lots of summer flowers, but also

846
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 1: their big sales thing. We're like selling these points setia

847
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: is for just so much money. I mean, people around

848
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 1: the holidays and Thanksgiving will spend so much money on

849
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 1: what is a weed in Mexico. Yeah, you could drive

850
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: south and go dig them out of the hillside. Also,

851
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:20,240
Speaker 1: I found out that Sunset Boulevard like kind of where

852
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: from the Comedy Store to basically the strip, the Sunset

853
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: Strip two hundred years ago. All points Edti is cacti

854
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: and points setias in every direction. Oh wow, look at that.

855
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: Isn't that?

856
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,760
Speaker 2: It's just the whole thing of like the definition of weed.

857
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 2: I mean just we just means like I don't want

858
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 2: this to grow here because I'm crying to do a

859
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 2: little thing.

860
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: I'm trying to mono culture. That's right, That's right. So

861
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: I worked at this place called Raid of Balls, and

862
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 1: I just did for one summer. So during this three months,

863
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,840
Speaker 1: they're a really great small staff, but our job was

864
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,799
Speaker 1: to plant every single flower, every mom every marigold, every

865
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 1: points eddio, every single thing. We planted tens of thousands

866
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:00,360
Speaker 1: of these things, so you got to know everybody. Because

867
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,880
Speaker 1: they have to steam these giant troughs of soil to

868
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 1: kill all the fungus and anything in there that might

869
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: harm the plants. So the first thing to do is

870
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: they fill a giant wagon with top soil and then

871
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 1: they stick this huge hose of steam and they steam

872
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 1: it until the whole thing is roaring with steam. You

873
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 1: had this job, yeah, this was in high school. Yeah no, no,

874
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: in college, between freshmen and sophomore year. My uncle Mike

875
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 1: ran a big part of it. So I was like, hey,

876
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 1: I need a job. And it paid better than you know,

877
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: working at McDonald's, I suppose, so also I like knowing

878
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 1: how to do ships too. And then as soon as

879
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:42,280
Speaker 1: this soil was steamed inside of a greenhouse in Maryland

880
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:46,280
Speaker 1: June July, August, so you can imagine the temperatures happening here.

881
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: You take over these pallets of two inch four inch

882
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 1: six inch four by four whatever they were five inch

883
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,760
Speaker 1: different pallets of pots, and then you dig your arms

884
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 1: into the steaming soil and you pull it over the

885
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 1: whole trail. And then you take the head of a

886
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: shop broom, so well, there's long brooms and you just

887
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 1: put little dips in each one so that they're not

888
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: overflowing soil. And then finger finger finger finger finger finger

889
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 1: finger plant plant plant, plant, plant, plant, plant, and this.

890
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 2: Stinger finger finger, you're just like putting a seed in.

891
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're putting a little seed ling in. Usually that

892
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 1: it comes like already has established roots and it's in

893
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: a little it's like this, yeah, fertilized little foam thing.

894
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:27,799
Speaker 1: It's a stuck in. So you plant all those and

895
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: then you stack those and then you spread them out

896
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 1: so we're all points that he is or moms or

897
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:35,280
Speaker 1: marigolds or I mean really what a daft whatever people

898
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: were buying. Oh okay great. So every day at some

899
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:42,439
Speaker 1: point all of us would start potting plants. And there

900
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 1: were two women that work with me, a mother and daughter.

901
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 1: They were Japanese American. They the mother was first gen Yumi.

902
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 1: Her name is Yumi. She was a wonderful, great employee,

903
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 1: such a hard worker. And her daughter was really sweet

904
00:49:54,640 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 1: woman named Mia. And every single day the higher summer,

905
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 1: you me would listen to a CD player like a

906
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 1: disc man, and she would dance like really cute. I

907
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:09,440
Speaker 1: would see her all the way across the greenhouses, kind

908
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: of bobing her shoulders and mouthing the words to a song.

909
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 1: And so after I was there for a few weeks,

910
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 1: and I would make him laugh and be silly and

911
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 1: you know, spray myself with the hose for a laugh.

912
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 1: I eventually asked you me what she listens to, and

913
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: she said it was her daughter, Mia had recorded a

914
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 1: CD and so she was listening to her own daughter singing.

915
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 1: And every single day from eight am when we started

916
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 1: until four pm when we stopped her she would listen

917
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:37,799
Speaker 1: to her daughter and pop plants and stack plants with

918
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 1: water plants and trim weeds and do all the stuff.

919
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:42,359
Speaker 1: Her daughter, who was right with her. Yeah, Mia and Mia,

920
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,239
Speaker 1: they would always be together planning stuff or like I

921
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: was young and me was young, so we'd go and

922
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,479
Speaker 1: we'd have to like carry all this crap wheelbarrows worth

923
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 1: of stuff. And so about two weeks later, I'm standing

924
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 1: at the steaming soil planning things with Mia, and I'm like,

925
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:01,880
Speaker 1: that's so cute that You're mom listens to your CD

926
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,319
Speaker 1: every day. She goes it's one song. I go what

927
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 1: she goes. I went to the mall and they had

928
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 1: a studio where you could do a cover song and

929
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: then they would burn you a CD. So she sung

930
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:17,280
Speaker 1: some pop song from two thousand and two, I guess,

931
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: Oh my god, and her mom the entire summer listen

932
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 1: to her daughter singing one song on Depeat eight to

933
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 1: ten hours a day, one hundred days of that song.

934
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's amazing.

935
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:35,359
Speaker 1: Isn't that the sweetest also craziest thing you've ever heard.

936
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 1: It's both sweet and very crazy, but it was mindless.

937
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:42,880
Speaker 1: And it was like I would listen to the fans

938
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 1: on the like the swamp fans on one end. That

939
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:47,799
Speaker 1: would kind of keep the regulated temperature and just like

940
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:52,319
Speaker 1: the that I would listen to that was potting, and

941
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 1: you would start to like not hallucinate, but you would

942
00:51:56,640 --> 00:52:00,240
Speaker 1: start to get into some kind of weird Yeah, you're

943
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 1: it was like ambient white noise almost and you would

944
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: almost start to have a better imagination some weird like

945
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 1: flow steady thing was happening when you're just digging in

946
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:10,320
Speaker 1: the dirt.

947
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:13,680

949
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,840

950

Speaker 1: marigolds and listen to her daughter singing like Britney Spears
