1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: Welcome to Truth Hounds, a production of I Heart Radio. 2 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 1: I'm Anna and I've been unemployed for about a year now, 3 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: so I really have nothing going on. And I'm Kyle. 4 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,120 Speaker 1: In middle school, I received the award most Enthusiastic to Learn, 5 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: So that makes me pretty special. And that is what 6 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: makes us the perfect investigative duo. We are two friends 7 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: who love each other very much, but what we love 8 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: even more is getting to the bottom of mysteries, all mysteries. 9 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 1: Sure that small mysteries, specifically, Trust me, No mystery is 10 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,639 Speaker 1: too small. No, no, no, Why don't you trust me 11 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: when I tell you we are ready to sniff around. 12 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: We are the truth Hounds. M h. Hello Kyle. Hey, Hi, Yeah, sorry, 13 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: I'm I'm just on the other line with my auntie 14 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: in Hawaii. Who you know, she's on Hawaii time. Oh 15 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: wow wait, so are you busy right now? Well? Yeah, 16 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 1: I'm I'm on the other line with my auntie who 17 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 1: was in Hawaii. Oh I'm sorry, it's just um, we 18 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: do need to talk. I'll be right there. Hi. Hi, 19 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: thank you so much for meeting me here. Of course 20 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: it was it was a long drive, but I'm really 21 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,759 Speaker 1: happy to be here. I'm so happy you're I mean, 22 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: it's really beautiful. It's so beautiful, and today it actually 23 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: looks a little different. Yeah, there's a bit of a 24 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,919 Speaker 1: haze over exactly. It's almost like an eerie like what's 25 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: going on here? It's beautiful? Oh you know. Actually I 26 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: was thinking, um, remember the other day when I came 27 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,919 Speaker 1: over to your house. Yeah, and we're just making dinner. 28 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: I honestly don't even really know what we did, if 29 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: I'm being honest, because I had so much fun that 30 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: like the details seem hazy. Yeah, it almost feels like 31 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: in that period of time, well, I just don't even 32 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 1: know what happened in that period time because when I 33 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: looked at my watch, it was earlier, and then when 34 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 1: I looked at my clock again, it was like six hours. 35 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: I got six hours, Like that's what I'm saying, But 36 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: I was like, what happened in between? I guess what 37 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: you're asking And kind of what I'm wondering as well 38 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: is why does time fly by when you're having fun? Yeah? Why? 39 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: M hm huh? Episode five? Why does time fly when 40 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: you're having fun? So we came up with a plan. 41 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: If time flies by when you're having fun, would it 42 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: drag on when you're not. We wanted to feel the 43 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: wrath of time. We had to find something boring, I 44 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: mean really boring. In fact, it had to be so 45 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 1: boring that time would do the opposite of fly by, 46 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: It would instead drag on. Like an item you purchased 47 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: on Etsy from an international seller located somewhere exotic like Bulgaria. 48 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: Late one night you hit ad to cart. Three months later, 49 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: you get a weird package of a bunch of plastic 50 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: bags taped together with industrial scotch tape. You look inside 51 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: and you say to yourself, what is this? A vase 52 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: with an ear on it? Who ordered this? When I 53 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: try to think of the most boring place in the world, 54 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: only one place comes to mind, the return line at Costco. 55 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: Have you guys seen this thing? It's outrageous. Did you 56 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: know you can return anything at Costco? Once my friend 57 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: got a surprisingly cheap, fiddly fig tree at Costco, and 58 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: in the span of two weeks, every leaf individually fell off, 59 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: leaving a sort of desiccated hut sk whare once a 60 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: lush vision of life used to be. She went to 61 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: the Costco returns line, clocked in about an hour of 62 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: weight time, But then she got a full refund, no 63 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: questions asked. But I was there at Costco that day, 64 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 1: and let me tell you, the weight of their return 65 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 1: line was agonizing, but ultimately it was worth it. She 66 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: got all of her money back. Oh I'm sorry you 67 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: guys didn't see this plant. It literally looked like it's 68 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: spent a semester abroad at Chernobyl. So I thought, what 69 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 1: if there was no reward for waiting in that line? 70 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: What if we we're just waiting there for nothing? That 71 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: does sound bad, Anna, So we decided to go. We 72 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 1: grabbed our recording equipment, got into my Prius and went 73 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: to the Costco return line. Boredom, Here we come. Okay, 74 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: So there we are in line. There's the hard It 75 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: feels like they've put the line in a very difficult 76 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: place because it's actually where people are coming out with 77 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: all of their coming out with their good good but 78 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: they also might be going to get a hot thought. 79 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: We arrived at the Costco return line around two in 80 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: the afternoon. Two in the afternoon the most boring time 81 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 1: of day. The promise and urgency of the morning is 82 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: long gone, but the sweet relief of sleep seems as 83 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: far away as a bachelor's degree in a new career 84 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 1: of your choosing. It was hot, but we were both 85 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: wearing about three layers each. That's the thing about being 86 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: in the business in l A. You gotta be flexible 87 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 1: and ready for anything. One minute, it's I'm not doing 88 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: anything right now, yoga on the beach. The next minute 89 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: it's hey, it's urgent. The president of lions Gate is 90 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: about to leave this cocktail party. Can you make it 91 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: across town in five and look really good? That's why 92 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: I love this crazy business. Anyway, it was hot, and 93 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 1: so were we. There she was the familiar exterior of 94 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: Costco bustling. Wait, actually, hang on a minute. I mean 95 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: usually it was bustling, but today there wasn't even a line. 96 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: The thing that's always really agonizing about the Costco return 97 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: line is that it spills out into the front of 98 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 1: the store exactly by the line to get hot dogs 99 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 1: or pizza. In fact, the two lines become so big 100 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: they merge. So not only are you bored in the 101 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: Costco return line, but you're constantly being asked if this 102 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: is the line to get hot dogs or get pizza? 103 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: Bored yet bothered? Those were the two distinct flavors of 104 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: this cocktail of waiting, but not today. That was what 105 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: was so weird. We got in line and prepared ourselves 106 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: to be bored. I opened my arms as if to say, 107 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: that's handsome, devil board. Don't suffocate me in your door 108 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: and brace Kyle. I really do love this. But the 109 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: Cuscar return line is moving really quickly for some reason today. 110 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: Why don't we let a couple of people go ahead 111 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: of us? Do you want to go in front of us? 112 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: You're yeah, we're taking our time. For taking our time, 113 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: we're waiting for something that. Oh yeah, you guys can 114 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: go before us. Yeah, you can go before Okay, So 115 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: we let a few people cut in front of us 116 00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: to buy ourselves sometime. Kyle, En cour plete, I loved 117 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: what you were doing. By the way, where did you 118 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: learn that? Oh? Um, well, I've been taking this acting class. Boredom. Boredom, 119 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: boredom got three very nights. I see in my very 120 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: night me as coaxing me And wait, Kyle, I'm so 121 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: sorry to interrupt you again. But back at the Costco 122 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 1: return line, something happened. Uh, let's take a listen. Oh Mama, Mia, 123 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: did you hear that keep that Mama Mia, my little girl, 124 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: A little girl I think, saw a pigeon and love 125 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: oh Mama Mia. I'm so sorry, guys, But in case 126 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: you didn't hear it, can we roll that tape again? Yeah, 127 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: that was a baby that saw a pigeon and then said, 128 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: oh Mama Mia. I mean to hear the words oh 129 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 1: Mamma Mia directed at a pedestrian pigeon. Was honestly a 130 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: personal dream come true. I didn't even think about the 131 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: baby part. Look, I'll put it simply, if you were 132 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: to knock on the door of my dreams and take 133 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: a look inside, this is exactly what you would see. Well, 134 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: and also Kevin Costner's there. Okay, the Costco returns line 135 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: was not working. I mean the line was moving at 136 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: Olympian speed. Everyone was in a good mood, and to 137 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: Anna's credit, there really was a baby saying, oh mamma Mia. 138 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but this was not boring enough. Time really 139 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: was flying by Kyle not missing a single beat, came 140 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: up with a boring alternative. Okay, I have an idea, 141 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: but let's go over there, and they're there at the wall. 142 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: She was going to stare at the wall of Costco 143 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 1: while I looked on. This would be boring for sure. 144 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: Maybe then we would be able to understand why time 145 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 1: drags on when you're bored and time flies by when 146 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: you're having fun. We walked over to the wall. Oh all, 147 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: or let me paint a picture for you. The wall 148 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: was three shades of boring, specifically gray, brown, and beige. 149 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 1: Kyle marched right up to it and hunkered down. I'm 150 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: talking three inches between her face and the wall, and 151 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: she just stared on, like in a trance. I know 152 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: this sounds a bit funky, so I'll let you in 153 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: on my thought process. You know, when you're a kid 154 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: and you get put into a time out, those minutes 155 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: feel like a lifetime when your mom makes you stand 156 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 1: in a corner. Each minute that goes by is an 157 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 1: unridden bike, an un choreographed dance, an undated diary entry 158 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: about planning to kiss Bobby right before the recess bell, 159 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: even though realistically Bobby doesn't know you exist, no matter 160 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: how many hairstyles you try and how many pillowcases you 161 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: scream into. Bobby, please notice me, Please back to me 162 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: staring at the wall. Okay, you gotta tell me from 163 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: me outside. You're a little. You're a little behind me. 164 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: What does this look like? Um? You look a little 165 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: Can I be honest? You look a little dufter demento. 166 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: I can't quite put my finger on the exact problem, 167 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: but the only way I could describe Kyle in this 168 00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: moment is dr demento. She was standing at a weird angle. 169 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: Her face was mere inches away from the wall, so 170 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: close that it almost looked like the wall was also 171 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: wearing her glasses and her hands. Well, they were doing 172 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: a thing that I can only describe to you as interesting. 173 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 1: There's no amount of money that you could pay me 174 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: to say that what she was doing looked boring. Provocative, definitely, 175 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: but boring no way. And I'm not the only person 176 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: who noticed Kyle's behavior. Are there anyone looking at me? 177 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: Not anymore? Not anymore? This wasn't working. The Costco return 178 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: line was not boring. Kyle staring at the Costco wall 179 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: was definitely not boring. We walked back to her prius 180 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: to recalibrate. Here's the problem. It just was too It 181 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: was too much. It was just too fun. It was 182 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: really funny because the way you looked was on I mean, unacceptable. 183 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: So we need something that basically private gets our blood 184 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: not boiling. Our blood should be cold. We should be cold. 185 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: Maybe our blood's cold, we're cold. There's no stimulus, there's 186 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: no visual stimulus. It sounds like what we need to 187 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: do is go be in a black box. Um, just 188 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: sit there. My friend John has a standing salauna. Yeah, okay, 189 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: that sounds good. Even though it was my friend John 190 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: and his sauna and technically completely my idea, Kyle, not 191 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 1: missing a single beat, was the one to suggest that 192 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: we go sit in my friend john sauna. So we 193 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: headed straight there. I know things are getting really good, 194 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 1: but we have to take a break for some ads. 195 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: And the ad break is over, says on the sign 196 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: outside shove its happens. Yeah, I think just like a 197 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: play on words. Okay, we're not turning on the sauna. 198 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: Maybe we can pay it this way. Yeah, taste the dark. Okay? 199 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: Are you okay? Yeah? Are you okay? Yeah? We settled 200 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: into the sauna, but then something happened. Do you smell that? 201 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: I do smell that. What is that? I don't it's 202 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: it's the wood. Yeah, it smells like cedar or something. 203 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, like sap. Okay, So this was immediately a 204 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: dead end. It smelled so good in there. Like nature, 205 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: it instantly transported us to the beautiful forests of Sequoia 206 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: or the rolling tulip hills of Holland. Remember back in 207 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: the car, we decided to come here because of the 208 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: lack of visual stimulus. But guess what, we didn't think 209 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: about our sense of smell. I don't know if this 210 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: is scientifically right, but smell has the innate ability to 211 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: tap into our imagination and activate the part of the 212 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: brain that is responsible for stimulus. Again, I think I 213 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: made that up, but it sounds right, and that is 214 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: what's important. We left my friend John Sanna and went 215 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: back to Kyle's previous We decided to take it easy, 216 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: go back to Kyle's house and chill. Honestly, today was 217 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: surprisingly fun. We both needed siesta's those are naps in Spain. 218 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: On the way back to my house, we got to 219 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: really talking. It occurred to us that we actually didn't 220 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: know what really bored us. We just hadn't thought about it. 221 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: You know what's really boring other people, specifically when they 222 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: talk about stuff that doesn't interest us bingo. So all 223 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: we needed to do was find someone who wasn't us 224 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: and get them talking about something we didn't care about. 225 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: So we ran over to Instagram and put out a 226 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: call to action. We said, we are looking for someone 227 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: who can either bore us by talking about something or 228 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: is just a self proclaimed boring person. Do you have 229 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: something that you could talk about for hours without coming 230 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: up for air. Do you have the ability to drain 231 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: the people around you? We would like to talk to 232 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: you urgently. We encourage them to reach out. Kyle made 233 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: another really cool graphic. She was getting really good at 234 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: photoshop on it. A bunch of little self satisfied businessmen 235 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 1: are cornering a woman after having just man's playing something 236 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 1: to her. Well, we don't know the content of the 237 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: man's playing. What we see clearly is that this was 238 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: so boring that the woman they're confronting is actually asleep. Moreover, 239 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 1: she's so badly wants to slumber that she's using a 240 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: book as a pillow. This was actually very layered. In fact, 241 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: it was so good it was no longer a simple 242 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 1: post on Instagram. It was a piece of art. We 243 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: got quite a few responses. Actually, one woman volunteered to 244 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: bore us with info about her garment fitness watch. She 245 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: even said she would sweeten the deal by talking about 246 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: her sleep heart rate tracker. A guy said he would 247 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: talk to us about two bamps, and two different people 248 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: ended up nominating the same guy as a boring person 249 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: of entryst But ultimately there was one guy who stood out. 250 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: I can't exactly explain what it was about him, but 251 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: it was not unlike falling in love at first sight, 252 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 1: when you know, you know, we gave him a call. Hello, 253 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: Hi is this Brady? Hi? This is Anna and Kyle. Hey. Hey, 254 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: so you wrote in and you said that you could 255 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: talk to us at length about why you think the 256 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: Blair Witch Project is good? Is that correct? Yeah, that's right, 257 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:46,199 Speaker 1: that's right, Bingo. The Blair Witch Project. It was the 258 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: perfect boring topic. I mean, one it was a movie 259 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: about other people, and two we didn't care about this movie. 260 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: This was exactly what we were looking for. Back to 261 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: the call. Okay, So it's one of those movies that 262 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 1: I think was really part of the cultural consciousness because 263 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 1: of almost it's like it's virality and me mobility. I'll 264 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 1: tell you what this was boring, you know, from from 265 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 1: even like before you know, the social media and stuff 266 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: he went on, and it's the ultimate example of why 267 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 1: found footage could work and on, because if you see 268 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: the Blairwich Project today and on and you watch it, 269 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,360 Speaker 1: it really feels like you could have found this footage. 270 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 1: Like that's the whole point of the movie, isn't you know? 271 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: It's the sun setting on them. Oh and hey, Kyle, 272 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:57,719 Speaker 1: don't forget. And on. We were really getting our money's right. 273 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 1: Desperate we started to look at the time just to 274 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: ground ourselves and something real, something tangible. This guy had 275 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: talked about the Blair Witch Project for about seven minutes 276 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 1: straight and thirty seconds. Kyle, don't forget those thirty seconds. 277 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 1: This was not boredom. It was violence. Afraid he would 278 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: actually never stop talking about the Blair Witch Project. I 279 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: thought on my feet and started setting off multiple alarms 280 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: on my phone. And when the video is being recorded, 281 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: because they don't they've lost up their sound gear, and 282 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: they feel extremely natural. They feel like they are sort 283 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: of friends who don't really know each other enough. And 284 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: you know, I think that the alarms didn't seem to work. 285 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 1: It actually just seemed to make him talk louder. And 286 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 1: what happens. We were no longer on the phone with Brad. 287 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 1: We were in hell's the best person. We had no 288 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: choice but to interrupt him. Um. Sorry, sorry, we set 289 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 1: a few alarms. I don't know if you heard them, 290 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: but the time is up. You went over maybe like 291 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,919 Speaker 1: you buy a couple of a couple of minutes. Um, 292 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: but uh but that's that's uh, that's a lot to learn. 293 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: And yeah, thank you, thank you, and it's a very um, 294 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: it's definitely a cool perspective. Yeah, I can't even um, 295 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 1: I can't even pinpoint my favorite thing that was said. 296 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: And half a nice day. Yeah, you're welcome, have it going, Okay, 297 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: time out. We need to talk to you, the listener. 298 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: From the beginning, we have said to you that we 299 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: will do anything to get to the truth, but at 300 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 1: a certain point, we have to consider our own safety 301 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 1: and mental health, which, by the way, is so stigmatized 302 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: in this country. That phone call with that guy talking 303 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: about that movie being the Blair Witch Project was honestly abuse. 304 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: And I don't say that lately. In fact, I say 305 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 1: that heavily. No person should have to suffer in silence 306 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: while some man talks about the Blair Witch Project passionately. 307 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 1: No person, I don't care who you are. Ultimately, our 308 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: investigation had led us to something too boring. We completely 309 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 1: lost touch with ourselves in the process. Um, but I 310 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: guess to look on the bright side, Maybe this just 311 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: meant we were too good at our jobs. Thanks, Annah, 312 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 1: but I'm just not quite there yet, I understand. So 313 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: we regrouped again. We had stood in a line, stared 314 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: at a wall, sat an a sauna, let a guy 315 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 1: talk to us, and these experiences were either too exciting 316 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:40,120 Speaker 1: or well too boring. We still hadn't found the exact 317 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: flavor of boring that we had been looking for. We 318 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: looked at the facts. So this thing, it needed to 319 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: be something that didn't have too much stimulus. But on 320 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 1: the other hand, it needed to be something that we 321 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: could still engage in and not experience violence, something boring 322 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 1: but acting. So we thought, why not instead find a 323 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: boring task, something that had a clear start and a 324 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: clear finish. We didn't want to feel paralyzed or stuck, 325 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: just a reminder we are real, breathing human beings. We thought, 326 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: what kinds of boring things are other people putting off doing? 327 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 1: I mean, just between the two of us we had 328 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 1: a task list of at least fifty things. There was 329 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 1: only one thing for us to do. We ran over 330 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: to Instagram and put out another call to action. We said, 331 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 1: do you have a task that you're dreading doing something 332 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: you've been putting off because it's just so damn tedious 333 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:56,679 Speaker 1: and annoying. An example would be building ikea furniture or 334 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: reselling something on eBay if possible. We added, it's a 335 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: task that requires multiple steps. We then asked could we 336 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: do it for you, and then told them to contact 337 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: us if they were in the l A area. Then 338 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: for safety reasons, we added, Let's be honest, it's got 339 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: to be safe. We're not going to scale a wall 340 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 1: for you to propose to your girlfriend. But Mozeltok, we 341 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: wanted to end on a positive note, so we said 342 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 1: the pleasure would be all ours. At this point, you 343 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: already know what I'm about to say. Kyle made yet 344 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: another amazing graphic. This experience was like getting to be 345 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 1: a fly on the wall in Paris, where Picasso first worked. 346 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: Let Me be Your Eyes. A rich lime green tapestry 347 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 1: so bright that it is alarming, sits in the background. 348 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 1: How's it? What seems like hundreds of little vignettes here 349 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 1: the viewers confronted with symbols of boredom and iconic. A 350 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 1: keya shelf begs to be assembled. A pencil is abandoned 351 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: in a corner, its body snapped in half. Sheets and 352 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: garments spill out of a washing machine and a frenzied chaos. 353 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,479 Speaker 1: A man frustratedly grabs at his own hair, cursing the 354 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: gods of time for not being more plentiful. A woman 355 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: lost sits in a light embrace of her own knees. 356 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: So daunting are the tasks that plague her. When I 357 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 1: tell you that this was art, I am only leaving 358 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:45,199 Speaker 1: out about a century of its eventual impact. I'm telling 359 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: you Kyle was getting really good at photoshop. If this 360 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: investigative business doesn't pan out, let's just say I ain't 361 00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 1: worried about her next professional endeavor. Immediately, the calls came 362 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: flooding in and now an AD break. The ad break 363 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:22,199 Speaker 1: is over. We listened to the first message. Hi, this 364 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: is Sarah. I'm calling her. Um, Kyle, I have a 365 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: task that I would love for your you guys to do, 366 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: so I don't UM. I have some chickens that I 367 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,199 Speaker 1: need sold on curclist. Um. Yeah, I get a call 368 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: back if you can help me out. Honestly, no need 369 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 1: to listen to any of the other messages. This woman 370 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 1: needed help selling her damn chickens. Honey, count me in. 371 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 1: Without missing a beat, Kyle set up a call to 372 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: speak to the woman about her chicken task. I was 373 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: also there, and I kind of strong armed Kyle into 374 00:27:54,640 --> 00:28:00,160 Speaker 1: this decision. But anyway, it doesn't matter. So you reach 375 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: out to us with a task, could you tell us 376 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 1: a little bit about it? Yeah? I had just some 377 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: chickens about eight weeks ago, and um I was always 378 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: planning to sell most of them. I don't have enough 379 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: room for all of these chickens because I already have 380 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 1: existing adult chickens as well, So um I was wondering 381 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,120 Speaker 1: if you guys can help me sell them. We were 382 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: a hundred percent in. But wait, Anna, is selling chickens 383 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: really going to be boring enough? It sounds kind of exciting, Kyle, 384 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: Do you realize what we just went through listening to 385 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: that guy talk about the Blair Witch project for seven 386 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 1: minutes and thirty seconds. In comparison to that, anything is exciting, 387 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: like taking out a box out of the recycling bin, 388 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: breaking it down, and then re putting it into the 389 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: same recycling bin to make more space for other stuff. 390 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: In comparison, that now seems like a day of disney 391 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: Land writing all the rides at California Adventure. Yeah, I 392 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: guess you're right. We don't quite understand the full impact 393 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: of our trauma yet. Before we could agree on taking 394 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: on the task of selling the chickens, we felt it 395 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: was important to meet the talent. As they say in 396 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: show business. If there wasn't good chemistry between us and 397 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: the chickens, there was no way we could take on 398 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: the task of selling them. Consent, just do it. Everyone 399 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 1: was in an agreement that meeting beforehand was the right 400 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: thing to do. Would we be able to arrange a 401 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: time to meet the chickens in person? That would be great. 402 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: I would insist that you do this before you decide 403 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: whether you take on the task. All right, well, um, 404 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: I guess this is Austle Lauvista. Um, thanks so much. 405 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: We got a great night's sleep on our temper pedic 406 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: mattresses and woke up the next morning refresh but still traumatized. 407 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: We set off to meet the chickens. Okay, I think 408 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 1: we're here. Oh, that's it, that's it right there. We 409 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: walked up to the house to meet the guys and 410 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 1: gals the chickens. Of course, it was a beautiful day, 411 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: not a cloud in the sky, and this was just 412 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: a house in glass Old Park in Los Angeles. But 413 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: to us it looked like we had just stepped into Tuscany. 414 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: I mean, based on pictures. They've both never been yet. 415 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: We rounded the corner to some long tiled steps lined 416 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: with vines and unruly green grass, swaying as if in 417 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 1: a trance like silhouettes at an East Harlem jazz club. 418 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: That is when we saw her, our tipster Sara. Not 419 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: that it was about that, but she was gorgeous, sun 420 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: kissed complexion, wind tossed hair, big straw hat, obscuring just 421 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 1: enough of her face to make you wonder what's going 422 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: on under there. She greeted us, Hi, my name is Sarah. 423 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: I called you guys to see if you could help 424 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: me with the task of selling my chickens. She began 425 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: to explain the task at hand. Okay, so this is 426 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: the chicken coop. There are twelve chickens. Four of them 427 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 1: are adults, um Catch, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn, and the 428 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: other ones mostly don't have names because they are only 429 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 1: about six weeks old, and I'm planning to sell most 430 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 1: of them, and I didn't want to get attached, so 431 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: only to have names the white one Pubusa and um 432 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 1: the black one in the coop uh senor Pinkueno. I'll 433 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 1: try my best to describe exactly where these guys and 434 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: gals the chickens were living. What I mean to say 435 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: is what they're coop was like bales of hay surrounded 436 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: orange and lemon trees. It was like looking at a 437 00:31:55,440 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: little courtyard in Tuscany, so small if you blink you'll 438 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 1: miss it, but definitely in Tuscany. I mean, I think again, 439 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 1: we haven't been Oh wait, are you thinking about that 440 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: movie with Diane Lane Under the Tuscan Sun? Yeah? I 441 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: actually have never seen it, but I remember the cover 442 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: kind of. Anyways, back to the guys and gals the chickens. 443 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 1: We introduced ourselves to the chickens. You want to hold them, 444 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try. Okay, we're gonna hold them like a 445 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: put your thumb and thank you together for so you 446 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: just like you just have to make sure you hold 447 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 1: his wings or else he's gonna flap them and try 448 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: to try to jump out of your hands. Okay, but 449 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 1: if you hold his waist down, he's so perfect for 450 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: my day. He's gonna come Hi, Hi, beautiful. The meat 451 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: and greet with the chickens went really well, and we 452 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 1: were loving the environment. I literally could not stop myself 453 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 1: from comparing it to Tuscany, which, as you know, we 454 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: are conflating with the DVD cover of Diane Lane's vehicle 455 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 1: under the dusk and sun. But still, this is I mean, 456 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 1: maybe it's because the lush the oranges on. I mean 457 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 1: the fact that you're wearing a big hat. Wearing a 458 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 1: big hat. To me, this is Tuscany. You know, this 459 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: Tuscany summertime. I'll be honest with you. It was clear 460 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: that this was anything but boring. In fact, even now 461 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 1: I struggled to find any way to describe this other 462 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: than lovely. Kyle and I didn't say this to each other. 463 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 1: We didn't have to. This wasn't the task for us. 464 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: We'd have to go. We enjoyed the few precious moments 465 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 1: we had left with the chickens, and by that I 466 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 1: mean the guys and gals. Do you think I could 467 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 1: just kind of touch one before I leave? Yeah? Oh 468 00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: my god, it's very stupid. I don't know. Oh my god, 469 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 1: he's very dirty. You're special guy. He's special guy. It's 470 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: hard to explain, but it really was a special day, 471 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: and I'll be honest with you. Saying goodbye was really 472 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 1: painful because we knew would be forever well. Awesome, thank you, 473 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: thank you. Meet Now. It might sound like we're enjoying 474 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 1: ourselves and are not in pain, but you know what 475 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 1: that is. It's good acting. This was tearing us apart. 476 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,280 Speaker 1: We made pretend in front of Sara and her chickens 477 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 1: that there was a chance that we would be back 478 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 1: and take care of her task, but we just knew 479 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 1: there was no way. Previously, um, I think we have 480 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,800 Speaker 1: to think. I didn't talk about it, and we'll definitely 481 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: get back to you. We went back to my prius 482 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 1: and said everything that needed to be said, even though 483 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:11,880 Speaker 1: it was painful for us to say it. Something to 484 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 1: keep in mind as you listen to this next part 485 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: is that we're going to sound happy to you. But again, 486 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 1: we're really good actors and we were just hiding our 487 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 1: pain from each other, the pain of knowing we weren't 488 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 1: going to go sell those chickens, and in fact, there 489 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,799 Speaker 1: was a good chance we would never see those guys 490 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 1: and gals again. The chickens, sorry, Papoosa and the other ones, 491 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 1: have a nice life. The pain was so real that 492 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 1: we just said whatever came to our mind. Yeah, it's 493 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,279 Speaker 1: just too much fun. I feel like my endorphins have 494 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 1: not been I feel like they're like pouring out of 495 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 1: me because of how much fun I just had. I 496 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,239 Speaker 1: don't think it's it. I don't think this is it. 497 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,959 Speaker 1: We knew what we had to do next. Kyle drove 498 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 1: me home in complete silence, but as she was pulling 499 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:23,280 Speaker 1: away from my house, I gave her a call. Hello, 500 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:31,319 Speaker 1: Hey Kyle, Yeah, hey, Hi, how's it going. Uh? Did 501 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 1: you forget your wallet? I could still see you in 502 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 1: the real view of my mirror. No, no, no, no, 503 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 1: it's not like that at all. Um. We just we 504 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:51,880 Speaker 1: need to talk. Okay, I'll be right there. Thank you 505 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 1: for meeting me here. Of course I did have to 506 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 1: get my oil changed again. Yeah. Sorry, I know the 507 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:05,480 Speaker 1: drive is long, and probably after what happened, it's just anything, 508 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,880 Speaker 1: it's more time to be by yourself and think about 509 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,959 Speaker 1: what happened. Well, I mean, it's honestly, the oil change 510 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:17,239 Speaker 1: thing is it's kind of a separate issue. But I 511 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:23,680 Speaker 1: hear you. You know, honestly, it's funny because we're here 512 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 1: and it's kind of a gray day, and so you 513 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 1: see the sky. I don't know, it almost looks it 514 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 1: just looks different. Yeah, I see that. Honestly, I've brought 515 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 1: you here to tell you that I think that this 516 00:37:43,200 --> 00:38:01,880 Speaker 1: episode is a two parter.
