Well, it's 0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:40.479 also a little overcast in l A, so it feels 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:44.240 like I've got a sweater on, a dirty sweater. Well, 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:47.640 thank you. And dirty leggings. Dirty leggings. That sounds like 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:51.559 your next album. That's sad. And for a woman in 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:54.560 her mid thirties to be talking about dirty leggings as 0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:56.600 a brand is like pretty bad. I'd like to just 0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:59.920 keep that to this podcast and then never do it 0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:03.080 or say it over again. Um.

We wrote together 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:30.240 on the SPS, originally from Tallahassee via Chicago, now in 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:33.039 l A. Writing on the news say by the bell, 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:37.080 Shantira Jackson, Welcome. Thank you so much for having me. 0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:42.080 How are you doing? I'm going. I mean, I'm sad 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.679 but good. You know the way the world is, We're 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:51.400 all like sad but good. You've been so busy. I 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:54.120 want to just highlight some of the stuff you've been doing. 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:58.600 You helped organize and run one of the massive, very 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:03.480 successful protests in Hollywood the day after Brianna Taylor's birthday. 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:06.000 And then you were also one of the names that 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:09.400 was signed at the bottom of the letter demanding changes 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.000 to Second City. And then I have to imagine on 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.480 top of that, are you are you working right now? 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:19.160 Are you writing too? Yes? I am. I'm trying to 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:25.600 Um yeah, how how are you doing all of this? No? 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:28.600 It's yeah. I mean, like I complain about having one job, 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:31.679 but um yeah, to do all those things as awesome. Now, 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.360 can I ask just a question that's been on my mind? 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:38.560 How do you organize a protest. Okay, so here's the thing. 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:42.840 I love a party, but I don't throw parties, right, So, 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:47.040 I mean there are people who really do this work. Um, 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:51.200 this girl named Fannon Morton and my friend um Sheets Rashida, 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:54.840 they like were the women who were like, let's fucking 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.440 do this. And I was like, okay, I'll use my 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:01.440 blue check mark and trying to get people there is possible, 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.880 and then I'll say that I'll speak, And I mean 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:10.040 like they were the working forces behind like getting like 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:13.280 the place where you go, Like it was us, we'll 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.320 be in trouble because we wouldn't have a permit, right, 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:19.640 But um, there's a lot of organizers who really do 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.040 the work, live and breathe that stuff. And then like 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:24.400 I was in a fortunate position where I could be 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:26.600 like I can give people to show up, and I 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:29.600 can get people to and I'll speak and for for 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:33.520 some reason, people if you've ever been associated with television 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:36.280 in any way, shape or form, people will come and 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:41.600 listen to you. Yeah. So the blue checkmark people have 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:47.000 really it's like it's weaponized, Like they're weaponizing it against us, 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:51.160 and it's like I don't really know anyone who was 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:58.200 like give me a blue check mark. No, it's right exactly. 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:02.440 It's like what people get so mad, like it's it 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:04.960 used to be like you fat horror, and now it's 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:09.280 like you blue check mark, yes, and it's like, I'm 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:12.920 not rich. I think they associate the blue checkmark with 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:17.640 like fucking green stacks and it's like, no, dade I 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:20.680 wrote on a TV show and like I live in 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:24.960 an apartment and NoHo like I'm not you know what 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:28.320 I mean. They see the blue check mark and they're 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:31.880 like it is Marie and Twinette herself. It's like they 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:36.680 really like I don't have enough natural light in my apartment. 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:42.120 The blue check mark means nothing, So do you. I mean, 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:46.520 I'm genuinely just curious as a friend and fellow creative, 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:48.919 and I do want to say there maybe a photo 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.159 that surfaces of Shantira and I and I'd like to 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:59.159 address that we are dressed as security guards and not cops. 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.039 Going there my Instagram and I'm like, why am I 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:03.400 dressed as a cop? And then I was we were 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:08.120 security guards, um in a sketch that that we worked 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:11.200 on that we then forced ourselves to be a part 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:14.599 of which is if you're going to be a creative 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:17.840 forced your way into things. I think that is my 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:21.599 number one. Are a woman in this industry, you must 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:25.040 write for yourself. So we wrote a sketch and we 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:28.520 were like, you know, who should be in it? Us 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:33.000 as two female security guards who are smaller than the 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.760 man we have to pull off the stage. It also 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.320 was they were like, oh, since you know, you get 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:40.040 paid to write for a show, but then since we 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:42.839 were doing something on camera, they legally have to pay 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:47.360 us too. And I was so behind on my sag fees. 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:50.560 I actually had to pay seven hundred dollars to be 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:54.960 in that sketch. You know, I still to this day, 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:58.039 I am not inside. I have not booked anything enough 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:00.479 for that. So I got that's the time I was 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:03.000 ever paid to be on camera. So I got four hundred, 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:06.760 and I was like, I'm rich again. Repeat blue check 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:11.440 marks have no money? Yes, and who are you guys 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:13.679 were pulling off Bill Murray on stage? No, it wasn't 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:18.560 Bill Murray. It was um, gosh, what is it? Yeah, 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:23.720 Michael who who is like so lovely and is so funny. 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:26.360 But we were Our sketch was also after like a 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:31.920 really somber wild piece that so we just stood backstage 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:36.200 listening to it was not the best time to do 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:41.880 that sketch. We were like, we're going next, Oh no, 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.560 And then my mom was watching and she was like, 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:46.680 I just saw you. It was like a weird thing 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:49.200 to be like getting a test from my mom after 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:53.040 this really really sad like it was basically like in 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:56.360 Memorium kind of vibe after and then we were like, 0:06:56.720 --> 0:07:00.839 let's go do this bit. Yeah, they were famous people 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:06.479 standing backstage crying. We were making sure we had all 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:09.520 of our props for the security guard part. Is that 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:13.440 story that you've told me about this appropriate? Free to 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:19.320 tell about the rehearsal? No, sorry, it's not appropriate. It's 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:23.000 so Shantera. We'll we'll discuss that off air because you 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:26.280 will remember and it's so funny. Maybe CJ and I 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:29.200 will do our first ever Patreon just to tell people 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.640 what this insane story is. Um. But yeah, sometimes you 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:36.720 behind the scenes of things is really really where the 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:41.800 action you think it was really wild. I remember exactly 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.600 what you're talking about because I was a participating and 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:48.040 I was like, this is not my job. So if 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:51.560 we never if we never tell the story, just know 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:55.200 that a black woman said this is not my job, 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:58.800 that is why. So that gives you any idea. It 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:01.120 was just something and we're like, that's not your job, 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:06.040 all right, Oh my god. So fun. I mean remember 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:09.200 when the world was a fun place where we would 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:12.160 just get Mendocino Farms for free no matter where we were. 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:16.880 And remember, okay, so like Mendicino Farms was like chill. 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.280 But I remember they were like, you can order whatever 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:21.280 you want out of this book. And they would go 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:23.960 to like it's a yard house, breaking out yard house, 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:29.679 and I would order a forty dollar rearby.

My dad ran track. 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:35.520 They're like, I was a huge sports fan, so like 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.560 there's nothing to do in Tallahassee except for play football 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:42.920 or work for the State of Florida, and like that's it. 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:44.960 And since I grew up and didn't want to do 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:48.480 either of those things, I moved away. Yeah, but that's 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:51.280 so wow. I mean Florida State one of like the 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:56.080 mast storied football programs for sure.

It's like everybody's good. It's like I can't 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:18.520 watch a couple of holes of this every time you 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:22.400 come to campus. Whatever was happening. It was good when 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.559 you moved to Chicago, did you feel because like, I mean, 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:29.000 you were on a sketch team called three P So 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:32.960 it's like you're definite. You you definitely became part of 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:35.600 like the Chicago comedy scene is we did, which in 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:37.640 turn is kind of like you have to be a 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:40.800 part of the Chicago sports scene as well. Oh yeah, 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:44.200 I mean, like I O was across the street from 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:49.440 Wrigley Field, which which which kind of made me a 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:55.520 Socks fan. I lived behind Wrigley and I didn't care 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:58.000 about baseball, but then my commutes home from my job 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:01.920 at Blockbuster made me a Socks and I was like, 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.880 are adding minutes to my commuteant?

Ever, this 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.959 isn't even a Cup story. It's a black Hawks story. Uh. 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:17.280 And the black Hawks had won the World Series and 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.439 not the World Series the Stanley Cup. Um that the 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:25.600 day of my first Harold show, and I got there 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.240 early because I was just going Stanley Cup. You know, 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:31.480 like that is the improv equivalent of the stand. So 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:33.679 like I made a Harold Team, and it was our 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.959 first show ever and people couldn't come to the show 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:40.959 because the fans from the Stanley Cup were so wild 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:44.280 that the police put up barricades, so people were like 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:49.320 trying to cross Clark Street and like couldn't get so 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:51.120 like it was just like the people who were already 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:53.480 the theater had to stay in the theater and watch 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:55.600 our show, and the people who came to see the 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:58.840 show couldn't get in because of the Stanley Cup. It 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:05.000 was a mess. Yeah, that corner would just be absolute mayhem. 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:09.400 What was it? A Bar Louie that was next to Yeah, 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:12.960 and you would go and like eat there after class 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:17.040 or shows and then it honestly, like the image that's 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:21.720 coming to mind is in Ghostbusters when the Titanic comes 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.440 to New York City and all the zombies pour off 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:26.920 of it and are roaming the streets like you would 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:30.199 be in Bar Louie just having a nice zip zap 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:34.320 zop time with your friends, and then zombies would overrun. 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:37.320 I mean, this is why I think a lot of 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:41.080 great comedians and writers all come from Chicago's because that 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:45.280 was our audience. Like we had to like entertain the 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:49.520 dumbest people in the dumbest bars and now it's just like, oh, 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:52.560 everything else is a cake walk to us. Oh yeah, absolutely. 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.520 Also people walking in drunk in the middle of your show, 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:59.560 going what is this? What are they doing? And it's like, 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:04.800 shut up, I'm trying to do improv and they're like no, Like, 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.440 nothing's worse than being yelled at from some guy who 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:09.400 just love a baseball game, who just wants to know 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:13.640 what's happening. Yeah, we we did comedy in a hostile environment. 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.160 Um I did. I did just watch the Saved by 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.560 the Bell reboot, which you're you wrote for right, are 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:21.760 you guys currently writing on that where all the episodes 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:26.040 are written. Production is halted, so we have a couple 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:32.520 of episodes left before we can put a show out. God. 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:35.400 You know, the trailer really surprised me. I thought it 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:37.520 was just gonna be another like multi cam reboot, and 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:40.720 it was like, I mean, I don't know, the jokes 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:42.920 are feel it feels like thirty Rock. I know there's 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:45.040 a thirty Rock right around it, but I'm like really 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:48.000 excited about it now, thank you. I'm really proud of it. 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:52.520 It's really fun and the um the Yeah, Tracy Wickfield 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:55.320 is like a thirty rock baby. The show running. Uh, 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:59.040 it's like joke heavy, it's really smart. The rooms diverse. 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:01.880 Like you know that if I didn't like the job, 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:03.560 I'd be like, it was a fun time I had, 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:07.400 but I actually really like yeah yeah, you'd just be like, oh, yeah, 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:09.960 everyone was great and I'm looking forward to doing some 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:11.880 new things. No, that job was great. I hope we 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:13.320 get a second season so I can go back to 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:17.400 the job I liked. I knew. I knew you loved 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:19.800 that job because I knew there was a job previous 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:22.320 to it that you did not love. And that's how 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.720 you can tell someone actually likes a job. Oh yeah, 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:28.400 they do, and they don't got a past job. You're like, 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.080 oh they like this one, got it? Oh yeah, yeah, 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:34.120 I the job I had previously. I worked up for 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:36.520 six days and I quit. And then I also like 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:41.120 didn't post that I was working there, Like usually when 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:43.240 you get a new job, especially in TV, and you're like, 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:45.600 I want people to watch it. I'm really excited about 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.280 this experience. I like took that job that I quit, 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:51.360 and I was like, I'm away before I post. This 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:55.120 has a weird vibe, And then um, I did not 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.240 post about it because I quit after a week. I 0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:03.680 was like, your girl has got to go. No, I, um, 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:06.560 I hated that show and I hate that person. And 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:10.480 I was very proud and happy and then yeah, I 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:14.880 heard like fun drama behind the scenes, and yeah, I 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:18.920 told me with joy. Yeah, then I was really happy 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:21.360 you're out of there. Yeah. Also, it's so funny. It's 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:23.720 because like you know about it, but like also like 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:26.480 a lot of people know about it, Like if you 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:28.240 don't know about it, sorry, you don't have a blue 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:31.600 check mark. Now, I'm just kidding. It's just that it's 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:33.520 one of those things where like I really was low 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:35.360 key on my exit and people would be like I 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:37.760 heard about that, and I'd be like, who told you? 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:42.720 It's wild out here? Well, I think I think sometimes 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:45.280 what happened you You were very discreet, and I remember 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:47.840 you being like, I'm not saying what I didn't like. 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:49.640 I'm just happy to be at this new show that 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:53.080 I did like. But since you came from a show 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:55.560 that other people didn't like, or people don't like the 0:16:55.600 --> 0:17:00.560 person associated it was, it was fun for us, you know. Yeah, 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:04.320 you so much respectful and professional, but you gave us 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:07.000 a nugget and we ran with it. Let's get into 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:11.200 the topic. So our topic today is the greatest comeback. 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:15.200 And this was actually a peek behind the curtain. CJ 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:19.320 and I did this topic for our pilot of this 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:22.800 podcast that was never released, but we have been wanting 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:26.479 to do it again and you felt like the perfect 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:29.640 person to do it with. Um, it's feel good. We're 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:32.760 trying to kind of do things that feel a little 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:36.120 empowering right now within the realm of sports themselves, so 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:39.440 this felt like a good topic for that. And UM, yeah, 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:41.440 Shin Terry, you want to give us your number three? 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:46.280 Pick my number three comeback? We we just talked about them. Uh, 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:51.320 it's gonna be the Cubs winning the World Series. Great one, 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:56.800 that's my number three. Were you in Chicago then? I 0:17:56.840 --> 0:18:00.960 was in Chicago and my experience so like, uh, c J, 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:05.720 I don't know if you like baseball now, I don't. 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:07.520 I think I don't know what will ever change it. 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:10.320 But no, I think it's the most boring sport. Like 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:12.880 I think it's so boring, it's too long. But I 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:15.960 was working at Second City and then uh, when I 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:20.040 finished my show that that last game went into extra innings, 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:22.680 it was like hell along. So I watched a bunch 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:25.040 of the game in the bar and then I went 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:27.920 to go work out at Export. I was like, this home, 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:31.040 my So I went to go work out in the bar. 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:33.120 I mean it went to work work out an Export, 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:36.639 and they were playing the game like on different things. 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:39.320 So like I was like just working out and like 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:42.320 looking to see if they were winning. And then I 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:46.240 like finished working out, went downstairs, changed came back up, 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:49.600 and then like they won, and I was like, oh 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:51.639 my god. And then I walked home like it was 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:56.280 announced that they won. I walked outside on well Street 0:18:56.600 --> 0:18:59.800 and then it was people pouring out and I was like, 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:03.080 holy crap. So like I watched most of the game 0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:06.600 and then I like watched the replay in Export, and 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:10.640 then I was like I gotta go home right now. Yeah, 0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:12.880 you're like I gotta get out of here. Even hearing 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:16.000 that Export, I'm like transported back to a certain time 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:19.280 in my life. That Export is burned in my memory. 0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:21.719 But yeah, I mean what's wild too, is there were 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:24.480 so many bars in Chicago that were just showing the 0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:26.560 game on TV. But it was like it's a hundred 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:29.080 and fifty dollars to come in here and watch the 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:32.600 game where Yeah, and it's like you were just at 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:36.320 export for free watching it having the same experience. Yeah, 0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:38.480 it was wild. I was in that bar and it 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:41.159 was just getting kind of crazy, and I was like, 0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:43.879 I don't know if they're going to win, but I 0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:46.119 do know that if they win, I don't want to 0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:48.239 be in this small bar, and I do know that 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:50.359 if they lose, I don't want to be in this 0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:56.400 small bar. So then I went and got an elliptical. Yeah. 0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:59.080 I mean. What I love about this come back, and 0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:02.480 there's gonna be one similar to it is that it 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:05.160 goes from being you know, they were down, the Cubs 0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:08.840 were down three one right, and then you're just like, well, 0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:13.040 disappointment again, like I can't believe I wasted my time caring, 0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:15.520 and then you then they win one, and then when 0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:17.639 they win another and you're like, oh my god, and 0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:19.600 it's just like if I was a Cubs fan, I 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:21.959 would just be incredibly stressed out and that, but that 0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:25.200 payoff then going into extra innings in Game seven, it's 0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:27.560 just it is like whether or not you're a fan 0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:29.960 of them or a fan of baseball, you're like, this 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:33.080 is an achievement and like something we may not see 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:36.160 for a while. Also, I was in Chicago when it happened. 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:40.000 That's why that's so amazing, because like all of the 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:43.400 choices that I have today were things that I actually saw, 0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:46.639 are like participated in, you know, like not like I 0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:50.560 remember watching it live and I like remember the moment 0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:53.560 when like the whole city was like, oh my god, 0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:56.440 something amazing happened today and you could feel it. There's 0:20:56.440 --> 0:21:00.280 nothing like somebody winning, Chicago winning. It's like there's nothing 0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:04.600 like yes, yeah, well, and do you got what which 0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:07.680 is more impressive to you? Coming back from down three 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:11.560 one in the World Series or coming back from a 0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:14.080 curse that a man put on you over a hundred 0:21:14.160 --> 0:21:16.560 years ago? The Goat? You think the Goats a more 0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:21.479 impressive comeback? Okay, overcoming the curse? I think that. I 0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:24.520 think the Goat is more impressive because I've seen people 0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:26.960 come back from three to one. I've seen people come 0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:30.680 back in basketball. I've seen that before. We haven't seen 0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:32.920 anybody way in a hundred and eight years to win, 0:21:33.080 --> 0:21:38.639 So I think that's impressive. It's a longer wait. Overcoming 0:21:38.640 --> 0:21:41.679 a curse is what, like Harry Potter is about you know, 0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:45.679 like it is impressive. Um, okay, I will go next. 0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:50.760 My number three is gosh, this is when I actually 0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:54.000 didn't even know about until last week, when this person 0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:56.760 may be celebrated in a birthday or some sort of anniversary, 0:21:57.280 --> 0:22:02.200 and it is Ben Hogan winning the nineteen fifty US Open, 0:22:02.800 --> 0:22:05.400 and I know about this. What I'll just say now, 0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:08.040 my honorable mention is going to be Tiger winning the 0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:13.120 two thousand nineteen Masters. And everyone considers that like truly 0:22:13.520 --> 0:22:19.000 the greatest, um the greatest like individual comeback from his 0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:22.440 He had four back surgeries and his personal scandals and 0:22:22.480 --> 0:22:24.560 the Hooters waitress and all of that, and then he 0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:27.480 was able to come back and and win. But when 0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:31.960 Tiger is asked about that, he says, ben Hogan's come 0:22:32.000 --> 0:22:35.000 back is the greatest comeback in sports. So I'm giving 0:22:35.000 --> 0:22:38.440 the nod to him, and he Ben Hogan was hit 0:22:38.520 --> 0:22:44.080 by a greyhound bus. Hit by a greyhound bus on 0:22:44.560 --> 0:22:47.639 leaving a turn after on his way driving home from 0:22:47.680 --> 0:22:52.680 a tournament and broke his pelvis. Ribs were broken. When 0:22:52.760 --> 0:22:55.760 the authorities were whoever first got to the scene, they 0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:58.199
