Speaker 2: Are you ready, KURTI b I saw a pony today

3
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 2: on the Riders Guild picket line, so my day has

4
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:07,119
Speaker 2: started off wonderfully.

5
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: Bananas already was it a little pony with shoes?

6
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 2: It was a regular pony with regular horse feet and

7
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 2: uh and of course it was an actress walking it

8
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 2: right right around the Disney lot.

9
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:18,959

39
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: This we get like a lot of our listeners who

40
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: we call the Bananamals or the murder Bananas. They send

41
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: us people all the time. They say this person should

42
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: be a guest, and a lot of times it's just

43
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: like a woman who does cartwheels on TikTok or something.

44
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 2: But they send us your reels where you do stupid

45
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: news and it's fantastic, and you've also covered some of

46
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 2: the stories we did. You really are the perfect fit

47
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: for this podcast.

48
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 4: Well, thank you, I'm excited to be here. Yeah, I

49
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 4: have been a journalist for GOSH. I am well well

50
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 4: past the decade point at this part point. But there

51
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 4: was a time a few years ago where I was

52
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 4: sitting on the anchor desk going, god, the story is

53
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 4: so stupid. But I was at a TV station where

54
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 4: it was like today in the news, doom dum, dumb,

55
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 4: and you know you have to be sealed up. But

56
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 4: unfortunately now at a station that's like, just just tell

57
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 4: us what's happening and be funny about it. But I

58
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 4: took a break from news for a while, went into radio,

59
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 4: have a radio show that I still do, and was

60
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 4: really able to find a more authentic voice, and people

61
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 4: really gravitated towards the stupid news, just as you guys

62
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 4: have a fected as well.

63
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: Well, it's endless and it stops.

64
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 4: Yes, have you guys seen an uptick in Ohio putting

65
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 4: out stupid news? Or is that just something that's coming

66
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 4: through my feed More often than not, it's Florida is easy,

67
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 4: but Ohio has just been wild lately.

68
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: My theory has always been that it's it's about the

69
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: disclosure laws for police records. Yeah, I think, and like

70
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: it's always Michigan and Florida, and I think Ohio recently

71
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: had something changed where all of a sudden, a bunch

72
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: more have come out of there.

73
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. We get a lot from Maine too, and which

74
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: is cool. Yeah, we have a lot of Maine even

75
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: on our Instagram, And I think there's something Maine is

76
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 2: just such a question mark, like nobody. When you meet

77
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 2: somebody from Maine, it's very interesting. You don't know what

78
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: you're gonna get.

79
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: You don't.

80
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 2: It's beautiful, it's empty. It feels like a southern state,

81
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: but it's definitely the closest to Canada.

82
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 4: I've never ventured to Maine, but never once have I

83
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 4: looked at my travel plans and like Maine top of

84
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 4: the list, going right up to Maine.

85
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 2: I'm sure it's lovely, coldiful, bar Harbor and Acadia National

86
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 2: Park worth a visit. If you're an outdoorsy type, you

87
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 2: will enjoy yourself in Maye.

88
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 4: I will note that down for ventures when I have

89
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 4: no other place to go.

90
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 2: For your radio show, what time does that air?

91
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 3: You do?

92
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: You have to get up at like three am to

93
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 2: record that or afternoon so.

94
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 4: It airs on ninety to nine to beat Koso kosp

95
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 4: out of Springfield, Missouri. And it's it's your drive home,

96
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 4: like you're end and up the you're into the workday.

97
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 4: We're hanging out, we're getting wild. I do pre record it,

98
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 4: so please keep keep my secrets so.

99
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: We won't tell anybody, all right, years from now.

100
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's perfect for us.

101
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 4: Yeah.

102
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: Do you want to hear about this theme park? Julie,

103
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: Oh of course I do, all right. This was sent

104
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: in by Denise Bruce on Instagram. Thank you, Denise, thank you.

105
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: This was in Metro by Ben Ashton, who many people

106
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: have told us he is the best in the biz.

107
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 2: He is so good.

108
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: And again the title Inside the abandoned theme park with

109
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: no guests but staff still turn up. This is I

110
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: love this story so much. The rides are working, it's

111
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: in perfect condition, and the staff still turn up every day,

112
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: but no guests ever come to this theme park. What's

113
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 1: going on?

114
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 4: Tax evasion, that's what's going on.

115
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 2: It's a front front land.

116
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: It's Tavoli World has been bizarrely frozen in time since

117
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: it was forced to shut when the coronavirus pandemic hit

118
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. After fifty years in operation and welcoming

119
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: thirty five million visitors to one of the best attractions

120
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: on the Coasta del Soul in Spain business ground to

121
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: a halt. It reopened for a brief two month spell

122
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: when COVID restrictions were easy summer, but was forced to

123
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: shut again after the owners filed for bankruptcy. Okay, Since

124
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: then one of Europe's most iconic theme parks has been

125
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: boarded up, but three years on still no one has

126
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: been able to enjoy roller coasters, log flumes, bumper cars.

127
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,239
Speaker 1: This place is gigantic, But because of a strange clause

128
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: in their contracts, workers at the park in the town

129
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: of Bene la Medena there ah got to thank you,

130
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: thank you, my Spanish tongue is really nice. Remained employed

131
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: and even though they were no longer being paid staff,

132
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: all weren't allowed to look for a new job elsewhere.

133
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: This sounds like the very strangest.

134
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 2: Clause in a normal not normal so what did they do?

135
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: They kept coming to work anyway. Instead of serving customers

136
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: and operating rides, they made sure the amusement park didn't

137
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: go to rack and ruin. So as many as eighty

138
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: seven members of staff were still attending the site on

139
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: a daily basis in the hope that it would eventually reopen.

140
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: Sure because of their efforts, which reportedly amounted to over

141
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: one hundred lori loads of waste being removed, Tavoli World

142
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: has been kept in excellent condition. They've also been regularly

143
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: contacting the courts to try and resolve their contracts. Last year,

144
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: three men attempted to break into steel equipment, but they

145
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: were stopped by local officials. Blah blah blah blah blah

146
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: blah blah.

147
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 2: That's good trying.

148
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 4: You can't YadA YadA, YadA O. For the best part,

149
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 4: it's speaking.

150
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: After the incident, Juan Ramon Delgado, president of the Salvemos

151
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: Tavoli group, said the attractions are still there, many meters

152
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: of electric cable, as well as machinery and the bars

153
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: and ice cream parlors. Above all, they're looking for aluminium copper.

154
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: We haven't been paid for ten months, but we can't

155
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: work on anything else either because we're discharged. The situation

156
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: is unsustainable. This seems like the most Spanish problem I've

157
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: ever heard of. Mister Delgado, who continued going to the

158
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: park every week after it closed at it despite the

159
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: fact that we have no income. We do what we

160
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: can to the best of our ability and what is

161
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: there goodsmind Ahumada, a local member of parliament, told local

162
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: media that the owner's excuses are running out for not

163
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: reopening the park because they are clearly able to generate

164
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: an income from it. He said, the argument that it

165
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: was not economically viable has been dismantled. Obviously all of

166
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: these people will work for free. Yeah, keep showing up

167
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: the strategy. I don't understand. We are going to continue

168
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: to projectively because we believe that it is vital for tourism.

169
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 5: Earlier, though now I will say this makes me want

170
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 5: to go to this park even.

171
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: Are hitting me even if it's closed.

172
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 2: Well, dude, like ten person days, just be like, hey guys,

173
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 2: we can handle ten people, bring nine friends. It's a

174
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 2: thousand bucks and each did you each?

175
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 4: Did you say there's like eighty employees that show up

176
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 4: every day? Did I catch sety seven eighty seven for

177
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 4: three years? What could possibly be going on at this

178
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 4: theme park that no one is in attendance to that

179
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 4: eighty seven people need to What are they doing?

180
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: Yeah?

181
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 2: Mouchin we smooth, smooth, They're putting on that.

182
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe behind the culture world.

183
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 2: A lot of baby is going to be named after

184
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 2: a lot of weird thrill It's going to.

185
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: Be a lot of tivolis.

186
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 4: Is there like an age range of the employees? That's

187
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 4: what I want, That's what I want to know, because

188
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 4: you know sometimes in senior centers, uh, they get a

189
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 4: little rowdy, and so maybe this is this is maybe

190
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 4: something more than just shown up to work for no pay?

191
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 4: Is there sixty seventy.

192
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: It's really true. We just got a bunch of stories

193
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: that STDs are on the rise in over sixty five communities.

194
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 1: So there now that they have they just this is

195
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: we should have done this story. They now are selling

196
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: condoms or making condoms in packets that look like seed

197
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: packets because they think seniors will be more likely to

198
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: use the condoms if they look like seed packets.

199
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know. Yeah that is weird because also

200
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 2: is it just to make it easier to open or

201
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: it reminds I don't know, no, bloom.

202
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: I think they're like old people like seeds.

203
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 4: They like something with the se that's for sure.

204
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. Why isn't it just like I don't know, gravy

205
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 2: just Hine's brown gravy packets just make it things that

206
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 2: every grandparent has in their cupboard.

207
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 4: It's like a butterscotch packet.

208
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 6: Exactly.

209
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: Why aren't they in Werther's originals?

210
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go, they should be. Well that sounds fun.

211
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 2: It does make me want to go to this park

212
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 2: more than ever. Oh yes, but I would even just

213
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 2: like to walk around and abandoned park. If you couldn't

214
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 2: even the ride to be fast, they must be running

215
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 2: things like they must just the lights must be on.

216
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, there's you know, we we really should go

217
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: Scotty because about an hour away there's Santiland that's an

218
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: abandoned theme park from like the seventies.

219
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 4: Is this just a hub of abandoned theme parks in

220
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 4: this part? Like what else we got over there?

221
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 2: I bet there's some in Colorado. I bet in the

222
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 2: mountain somewhere there's an.

223
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 4: Abandoned the Oh, undoubtedly, I just haven't worked at the

224
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 4: Cajones to go find it.

225
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: Honestly, I love that kind of stuff. Yeah, Kurt did

226
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 2: a show about that years and years ago, where we

227
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 2: would go to abandoned places and it was so fun,

228
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 2: and we've talked about it before on the pop. But

229
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 2: like one time we went down in a missile silo

230
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 2: where they used to keep nukes, and that was very

231
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 2: nice that we always going to go.

232
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 4: Clearance to go into a missile silo. Like that's the

233
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 4: backstory I need to know right now.

234
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 1: It was relatively easy.

235
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 2: We did it. We shot.

236
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: We shot a pilot for the show was called Get Lost,

237
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: and I would blindfold comedians and then drive them somewhere

238
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: they'd never been and they had to figure out where

239
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: they were. And for the for the pilot, we drove

240
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: Grace hell Big blindfolded her and drove her to an

241
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: abandoned missile silo. It's called La Nike La eighty eight

242
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: and it's about an hour outside La Okay.

243
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 3: There.

244
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 4: I'm trying to think. I spent like a month and

245
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 4: a half in Florida and in like near the Everglades,

246
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 4: they have something similar there.

247
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: There was Nike there. They were built in World War

248
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: two and there's they're in every city and they usually

249
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: had like two to twelve of every city has like

250
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: two to twelve Nike sites, and a lot of them

251
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: are still just around and abandoned.

252
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 4: Nike's the Greek god of something. I just can't remember

253
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 4: what it is. It's not just the swish on a shoe.

254
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: No, I think it's speed.

255
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 4: I thought, okay, that would check right.

256
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

257
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like a supersonic missile that they used,

258
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 1: called these Nike missiles.

259
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. So we went down a really long ladder into

260
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 2: one when we weren't supposed to go down there and

261
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 2: hung a portrait of a duck and that's why. And

262
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 2: it's still down there as far as we can.

263
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 3: We know.

264
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, that'll be like a time capsule in one hundred

265
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 4: years and Explore will be out there.

266
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: What's this?

267
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 4: What's this? It's a duck photo, buddy, What.

268
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 2: Does it mean?

269
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: What does it mean?

270
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 2: They'll worship it like a new god. Yeah, you take

271
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 2: adventure vacations. When you plan a vacation, somebody that's like,

272
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 2: I want to do this crazy thing that's also in

273
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 2: this place I want to visit.

274
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 4: Yes, Like I try to get out and I really

275
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 4: want to see an explore. But fortunately with my job

276
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 4: of being a journalist, I have the opportunity to go

277
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 4: out and do things that like I'm like, you know,

278
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 4: the normal person might not be able to. Like, next month,

279
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,599
Speaker 4: I'm gonna skydive with the Green Berets, like I have

280
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 4: worked with researchers right like so random, Like I've worked

281
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 4: with researchers off the Pamlico Sound in north off the

282
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 4: coast of North Carolina who are with the Smithsonian kind

283
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 4: of researching shark migration pattern So don't I started about

284
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 4: bull sharks. I'll go all day. Yeah. I think because

285
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 4: of my job, I'm afforded these opportunities to tell really

286
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 4: cool stories and get immersed in these adventures. So it's

287

Speaker 1: And do nothing.

291
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,040

292
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 2: I get that too. It's fun to alternate between the two.

293
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,680

00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 2: get stung by a bee. Okay, what have any guesses?

315
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 2: Did they test this out? Did they stick people in

316
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 2: every part of their body? Yes? They did? Kurt what Yes,

317
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 2: Yes they did.

318
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: This is the craziest study of Kurt.

319
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 4: Do you have a guest that you want to lead with?

320
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 2: Great question?

321
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going to say eyeball.

322
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 4: Okay, yes, that seems ridiculous.

323
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 2: That very painful.

324
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 7: Look if they're going to open it up and say

325
00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 7: we have the proof definitively, this is where the the

326
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 7: worst place to get stuck out the human body is

327
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 7: you better have stung somebody on the fucking eyeball before you.

328
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 6: Getting readers digest and tell me I just.

329
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 2: Like that, you went right to the top of the

330
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 2: mountain on that there was no journey at all.

331
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 4: You didn't even build the rocket. You're just on the moose.

332
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 4: Not to sound crash, but I feel like a sting

333
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 4: on the nipple wouldn't feel great. I don't know what

334
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 4: kind of beaches they were at to make this happen,

335
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 4: but in my head at medial as like it's right

336
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 4: there on the boob, I don't know.

337
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: I would hurt tons of nerve endings.

338
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 2: Okay, dooky, Well, this is what Emily Denuzzo Best in

339
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 2: the Babies is talking about there. It really isn't a

340
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 2: good place to get stung by ithought good, good opening

341
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 2: line good. Ideally, it's best to avoid the painful sting

342
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 2: in the first place. If you are a sting victim, however,

343
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 2: you might feel better knowing there are places on the

344
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 2: body where stings could be more more painful than others.

345
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 2: And although pain is subjective, Justin Schmidt created a sting

346
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 2: index in the nineteen eighties. I mean, this guy, what, yeah,

347
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 2: his Schmidt Sting Pain Index measures the painfulness of stings

348
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 2: from seventy eight different species of insects on a scale

349
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 2: of zero to four. Yoh yeah, oh my god.

350
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 1: Oh and he did he do it all on himself?

351
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 2: He did it most of himself, but he did also

352
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 2: have other people joined.

353
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 4: How how did you record recruit someone like that in

354
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 4: the eighties? Yeah, you couldn't, add and the reader's digest.

355
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 2: Yeah that's right.

356
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 4: Hey, you guys want to come to my bomb basement

357
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 4: and get stone by some stuff like.

358
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, shoots a bumper pool, it'll be great.

359
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 3: Um.

360
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 1: This is like the one scale. This is an official

361
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: scale that I would never trust ever because it was

362
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: invented by a man who was willing to be stung

363
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: by eighty seven different insects correct in order to make

364
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: a scale. I don't trust the scale immediately. It's a

365
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: lunatic ate.

366
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 2: It also zero to four. Zero to four is just scale.

367
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 4: Like, there's such an error for a margin with increments.

368
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: I know, give us at least a five.

369
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 2: Honestly, give me a hundred, because if you like push

370
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 2: me with your finger, I'm like, that's a one. But

371
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 2: then if you drive over me with your car, I'm

372
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 2: like eighty nine and then because it can get worse

373
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 2: than that. So, yeah, the scale zero four. According to

374
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 2: Discover magazine, Cornell University graduate student Michael Smith, who studies

375
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 2: the behavior of honeybees, use that index as a jumping

376
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 2: off point for his own experimentation. National Geographic reports all

377
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 2: the old mags they're getting in on this. This is

378
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 2: what news, This is what journalism used to be.

379
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: Oh so they are all magazines that are not a

380
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 1: typical magazine size.

381
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 4: Now Guide is reporting that reading.

382
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: Anything that's just about six inches by eight inches designed.

383
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 4: It's like the size of my planner here, dear diary.

384
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, Michael Smith. So Smith endured multiple beetpings b

385
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 2: stings on himself to determine the most painful spots for sting.

386
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 2: According to the results, his results, all stings are unsurprisingly

387
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 2: pain inducing.

388
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: Uh huh, there you go.

389
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 4: Good thing he got that Cornell University education.

390
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, makes you really happy to spend that money on

391
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 2: that private school. The study rated the painfulness of twenty

392
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 2: five different body locations. The most painful one.

393
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 5: Yes, nostril, Why Christ, which I'm guessing maybe inside the nostril.

394
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: I did not anticipate him going inside the nostril.

395
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 2: Whereas I have a nose piercing, because that feels like

396
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 2: it's not that painful.

397
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 4: No, I've never had a nose piercing. But I am

398
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 4: curious whether what other orphices he was putting these bees

399
00:19:59,160 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 4: in too.

400
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: Sticks exactly if he was like put request his nose.

401
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: He definitely that does seem like it was going places.

402
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 4: Is exploring.

403
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 2: This guy's going place.

404
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 4: We need you to step away from the beehive.

405
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 2: But I like it all right, Michael Smith, chill out, dude. Okay,

406
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 2: so number one was painful nostril followed by upper lip.

407
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 2: Upper makes sense, Okay, would hurt and penis? Uh did

408
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 2: go there? He did go there, per the research, per

409
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 2: the research.

410
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 4: Someone had to do it. He it was, you know what,

411
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 4: we don't kink shame whatever exactly.

412
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: He came into a professor, He's like, there's my research.

413
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: And the guy said, how many times it's sting you

414
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 1: on the dick? He said, oh, I haven't done that yet.

415
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: And he said, you dare bring me this data and

416
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: you got no dick stings on this get out of

417
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: my office.

418
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 4: Did you get between the dangly parts and the whole

419
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 4: get out there.

420
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 2: What about that eyeball? Show me your eyeball, Right, now,

421
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 2: they get it.

422
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: He definitely didn't get it in the eyeball.

423
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 2: The old eyeball least painful spots top of the skull,

424
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 2: which is also noticed the top of the head. He

425
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 2: got both skull.

426
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: I guess you could say skull if he took the

427
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: skin off.

428
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 2: Upper arm, which I'm guessing is you know the deltoid area.

429
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 2: Probably you know a tattoo favorite if you're in a

430
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 2: cartoon navy man, you have an anchor there in the

431
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 2: nineteen twenties, and the middle toe, the tip of the

432
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 2: middle toe.

433
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 4: O change.

434
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 2: That's sort of surprising, all right, he's going the distance.

435
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 2: He's going top of the head to middle tip of

436
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 2: the toe. Instead of rating just the stings on Schmidt's

437
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 2: zero to four scale, Smith used a scale of one

438
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 2: to ten. Smarter again, Yeah, Smith had five stings a day.

439
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 2: It stung himself at three separate times on each of

440
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 2: the different body heart locations. What so he really did study.

441
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 2: This isn't just like he was into this.

442
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 4: He was a little too much into it.

443
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, what is the purpose this on me?

444
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 4: I want to see him do it like in action,

445
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 4: Like what did he do? Because honey bees are notorious

446
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 4: for being very calm unless you really get them riled up,

447
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 4: So I want to know what he did. Was he

448
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 4: just hold him by the little butt like until something stuck? Well,

449
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 4: like the visuals that are running around my head, won't, won't.

450
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 4: I'm going to think about this all long after this ends.

451
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 2: Yes, I think he would just cover up his entire

452
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 2: body except from the one area, and then just ride

453
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 2: a bicycle as fast as he could into a bee's

454
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 2: nest and then just lie on the ground and let

455
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 2: nature take its course. Of course, it isn't just where

456
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 2: the where the effects of negative impact of the bug

457
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 2: bite happened. It can also be the type of bug.

458
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 2: If you happen to get any of these eight bug bites,

459
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 2: you need medical attention right away. Hey, we can read

460
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 2: them at another time. But yeah, it said there might

461
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 2: be a further study, and it has been challenging finding

462
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 2: study volunteers who won't be freaked out by bees and wasps.

463
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 2: So there we freakd can go.

464
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 3: Wow.

465
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 2: I thought we got more allergic every time you got

466
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 2: stung by bees, But I must be wrong about that.

467
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 2: Somebody once told me, every time you get stung by bee,

468
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 2: you get a little bit more allergic to it.

469
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 4: Where's that guy today?

470
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 2: Maybe he's dead, he's dead, swollen.

471
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: It all came on at once. He was just like

472
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: getting a glass of milk and then just went constricted

473
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: and died.

474
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 2: Do you even remember the last time you were stung

475
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 2: by a bee? I had to think pretty.

476
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: Hard now I remember. I remember the only time my

477
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: daughter has been stung by a bee, because it was like,

478
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, she was maybe two and a half

479
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: or three, and it was like, oh no, like her

480
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: whole hand swelled, swelled up and everything for like two weeks.

481
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:59,959
Speaker 2: It was really bad. Julie, I have no recollection.

482
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 4: Of my last bee bye. I'm trying to think I

483
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 4: do botox my upper lip because when I smile it

484
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 4: disappears and they little needles go into it. But that

485
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 4: maybe that's equivalent. I don't think that quite a bee.

486
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 2: Though, Sorry, and you're pretty tough. That's pretty tough. I

487
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 2: think it was one of two. There were two times

488
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 2: I was sung by a bee, and both times were

489
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 2: once was I was my parents were moving out of

490
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 2: my childhood the house I grew up in as a child,

491
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 2: and so there was a pond in a lake behind

492
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 2: our house, and I was like, I'll just walk around

493
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 2: and I'll go down there because I spent like fifteen

494
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 2: summers there, and I was like, I'll just go, like

495
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 2: say my goodbyes in my head to this beautiful place.

496
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 2: And I went on this dock and stood there and

497
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 2: got stung by like six pes like that had built

498
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 2: a nest in the dock and then just ran away.

499
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 2: So that was that was my cyon arm for that one.

500
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 2: But I went on this dayon college and I it

501
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 2: was the first time I ever tried to Martini. I

502
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 2: was eighteen years old.

503
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: That's illegal, I know.

504
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 2: I had a fake ID from Duncan, Oklahoma, very realistic whoa.

505
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 2: And I went to a bar called the Tunnel Bar

506
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 2: in Northampton, mass which is still there. It's under a

507
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 2: train railroad track and it is like a tunnel for

508
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 2: a bridge. It's a very cool place. And back in

509
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 2: the day that was like the date spot. So I

510
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 2: was trying to be real cool because all they have

511
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 2: a full bar, but basically you go have Martini's. So

512
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 2: I go with somebody who dragged Martini's regularly and to

513
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 2: be cool I ordered one that would had absolute pepar

514
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 2: in it. Do you remember that? Oh?

515
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 3: Yeah?

516
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: It was like hot, spicy, It.

517
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 2: Was like pepper. It was like pink pepper, black pepper tasting.

518
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 6: Was it really pronounced pepar?

519
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 2: I don't know is pepp aar? So we'll say pepper

520
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 2: if it makes us all more comfortable.

521
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 4: I like pepar. I think that you should go with

522
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 4: that bars. It really spices up this story, if you

523
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 4: what does.

524
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's exotic. So I get I bar friend's car

525
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 2: and I drive out there and so you're on a date,

526
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 2: a date. This is maybe like a third date with somebody.

527
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: And she was like, do you like Martini's she's twenty

528
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:11,959
Speaker 1: one year eighteen?

529
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 2: Correct? Okay correct?

530
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 4: Two law breakers were just going after those older gals.

531
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 2: I wanted them to teach me about the world, stuff

532
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 2: like drinking in a tunnel in like, and to buy

533
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 2: me cheap beer. So we go and they give you

534
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 2: the menu. It's like ten martinis and I order the

535
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 2: one that's called like the spicy Teenie or whatever, and

536
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 2: I'm like that's fine, and they're like, are you sure?

537
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 2: It's pretty spicy? And I have the whole time, I'm

538
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,719
Speaker 2: just pretending like I know what I'm doing, and they

539
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 2: serve me this beautiful, absolute pepar martini and I we

540
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 2: toast and I drink it like I've had one thousand

541
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 2: of them since the day I was born, and immediately

542
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 2: like hiccup it into my own nose or the pepper

543
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 2: makes me sneeze. For I'm not exaggerating forty five minutes

544
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 2: where it was like snorting liquid pepper. So she's trying

545
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 2: to be so cool. All of this is to be

546
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 2: cool college. I got a fourth date? I did, but

547
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,479
Speaker 2: I didn't really get a third date, is the real thing.

548
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 2: So I step outside because I cannot stop sneezing and

549
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 2: like cough sneezing, and it is burning. My eyes are watering,

550
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 2: and she's kind of like, go outside, can you leave

551
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 2: what you do? What you freak?

552
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 3: Oh?

553
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 2: He this this underage kid with the in Massachusetts with

554
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 2: the Oklahoma I d sounds like he's from Baltimore. And

555
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 2: so I'm standing outside of this bar and happy. I

556
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 2: was sneezing and I'm like walking around trying to get

557
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 2: fresh air, and you know those like sneezing or coughing

558
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 2: things where you just can't get the tickle in your throat.

559
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 2: You just can't. So I just keep going and I'm like,

560
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 2: go back in. Like while I'm standing there, a fucking

561
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 2: bee stings on my arm, Like are you joking? Or

00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 2: a hornet or a wasp?

563
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 5: I didn't see what it was, but I'm like, I'm

00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 5: like sneezing, my arms are flailing, and I'm like walking

568
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 5: omen from God that you're not supposed to be with

569
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:27,399

Speaker 4: A little whoopsie doodle. Oh well yeahs oh my god.

574
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 4: I went on a date with an eighteen year.

576
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,080

577
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 2: and Instagram and stuff. So she went on into life

578
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 2: and I was just there pretending. I like Martiniz for

579

601
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 2: Loved it. Turns out you don't need to see.

602
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: The first one the same thing, right, I'm gonna do that,

603
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: then i'll see the second one.

604
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 2: First, here we go again. Carolyn Logan got a tattoo

605
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 2: of the love butt on her butt, Kurt.

606
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: That was amazing. That was amazing. So we did this

607
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: thing just so you know, Julie, A long time ago,

608
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: we had a giant button built for a pilot we

609
00:30:58,520 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: did for Comedy Central.

610
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 6: Butt and then.

611
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, so sided, but yeah, double sided.

612
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: But it was probably fifteen feet tall, about thirty feet long, and.

613
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 4: It's just a giant butt, like a behind a hint.

614
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: Just a just a behind.

615
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

616
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: And then we had like, you know, a classic kind

617
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: of a sailor tattoo on it that originally was gonna

618
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: say mom with like an arrow through it, but then

619
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: right at the last minute we were like, well, don't

620
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: we should just make it say.

621
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 2: But her decision. It was really smart to make it

622
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 2: say butt too, because and explained what it was, because

623
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 2: it wasn't wasn't the roundest you've ever.

624
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: Seen, No, it was not. It was kind of a

625
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: flat man's butt.

626
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 4: They weren't hitting the squat rack there it is.

627
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: There was a child sitting in between the butt, but that.

628
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 4: Looks like two peach marshmallows smashed up together.

654
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 4: And then it's a small town and you hear all

655
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:02,240

660
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,200

668
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 4: You can't get a postcard there because you can drive

746
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:14,320

00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 4: Ours is like sprinkled in there. But there are a

748
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:22,720

Speaker 2: Yeah, there's another one. Yeah, that's good. That's so fun.

751
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 2: news when you leave work, are you able to put

752
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 2: away all that stuff and just go Nope, not tonight,

753
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 2: not this weekend, I'm out of here.

754
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,479
Speaker 4: I will be honest with you, I actually really love

755
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 4: the news. I that's I love the news. I love

756
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,240
Speaker 4: seeing like the And this might sound a little terrible,

757
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 4: but like the the joke even within the news that

758
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 4: might be considered a little dark. You might say, I

759
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 4: have a tinge of a MacB sense of humor that

760
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 4: gets whipped out every once in a while. But it's

761
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 4: great because I'm always like, there's always fact rolling around

762
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 4: in my brain that I can whip out in a

763
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 4: moment's notice and insert somewhere to kind of heighten a conversation.

764
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 4: So I don't know if I really ever get tired

765
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 4: of news. Certainly there was a time when I took

766
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 4: a break and I just like when we left Afghanistan,

767
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 4: I didn't know for like four days, and then I

768
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 4: finally opened a news app and I was like, oh,

769
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 4: seems like it seems like then I was like, this

770
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 4: feels like very much like Sagon, Like it was like

771
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 4: wild to see it, and so like that, and that's

772
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 4: really what I realized how much I miss mikes it

773
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 4: if you will, but no, I every Sunday night, I'm

774
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 4: sitting on my couch watching sixty minutes What's Happening in

00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 2: thing I came out of COVID. I watch every sixty minutes.

00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 4: he was talking about like the body industry and how

787
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 4: we you can just like donate your body, you know,

788
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 4: when you're dead, but it's like sold. It's like a

789
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 4: for profit thing. It's wild. Anyways, Oh really, I'll do that.

790
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 2: I'll just have mine. They can do whatever they really,

791
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 2: I'm out of here. They can do whatever they want.

792
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 1: No, I want fifty I want buried with fifty percent.

793
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 2: I want to be shot out of one human cannon

794
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 2: cannon mall into another one. Just back and forth in

795
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 2: that amusement park in Spain until just disintegrade.

796
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 4: That's what they're doing there, body, folks. I want to

797
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 4: be like made into compost and made into dirt. You know,

798
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 4: I came from the earth.

799
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: I'm going back to it nice. Yeah, I want to

800
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: be edmon. I want to be a garage door. All right,

801
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: let's do this, you guys ready, yep, here it is.

802
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: This is from the Washington Post. Taco Tuesday belongs to

803
00:39:56,080 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: us all unless you live in New Jersey. Yes, this

804
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 1: is written by Emily Hile. Emily, Emily, She's so good

805
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 1: at what she does. Taco Tuesday belongs to the world.

806
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 3: Now.

807
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,720
Speaker 1: Anyone can out of the phrase, and of course anyone

808
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 1: can celebrate it, and as of today, any company outside

809
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 1: New Jersey can use the expression to promote their tortilla

810
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: wrapped offerings. That's because Taco John's, a Wyoming based fast

811
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: food chain, relyquished its legal claim to the phrase following

812
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 1: a challenge brought by Taco Bell. The spailler brand said

813
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: it would abandon the service market holds to the US

814
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: Patent and Trademark Office, citing the cost of legal fees

815
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 1: to fight the mega chain. So this is like not,

816
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: this is Taco Johns is like a little guy in

817
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: this whole situation. People love Taco Johns.

818
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 2: Anyway, Lebron James tried to get the copyright to Taco Tuesday.

819
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 2: I swear Lebron tried to get it like a few

820
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 2: years ago.

821
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 1: That's in here. We've always prided ourselves in being the

822
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: home of Taco Tuesday, but paying millions of dollars so

823
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 1: lawyers to defend or mark doesn't feel like the right

824
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: thing to do in an odd arrangement. Going back decades,

825
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 1: Taco John's had held the rights to the phrase in

826
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 1: all states but New Jersey, where the restaurant Gregory's still.

827
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 6: It's just a restaurant named Gregory's.

828
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 2: Whitest name, the whitest man name.

829
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:27,320
Speaker 7: You could have said, Grid's Taco Tuesdays at Gregory's every

830
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 7: day of the week.

831
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,320
Speaker 1: In May, Taco Bell had filed two petitions to the

832
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: Patent Office seeking to nullify those exclusive rights as well.

833
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 1: Taco Bell, calm down, Taco Bell, police, Taco Tuesdays is

834
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 1: critical to Everyone's Tuesday. To deprive anyone of saying Taco

835
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,240
Speaker 1: Tuesday be at Taco Bell, anyone who provides tacos.

836
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,399
Speaker 4: He just has a question, who's going to Taco Bell

837
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 4: on a Tuesday. Never once have I been like, it's

838
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 4: Tuesday going to Taco Bell. The only time I'm going

839
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 4: to Taco Bell is when I've you know, been a

840
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 4: little taco belled, you know what I mean. And then

841
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,439
Speaker 4: like the real fight in Susann hour later to see

842
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:04,839
Speaker 4: if I'm going to be keeping it up or keeping

843
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 4: it down, like talk about chill, okay, chill.

844
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 2: They invented fourth meal. That was the exactly thing they

845
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 2: ever did because they're right, because we would all eat.

846
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 2: And then you're high school driving around your friends or

847
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 2: college driving and you're like, let's get Taco Bell at

848
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 2: midnight and Zach eat four thousand calories at one am.

849
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 2: That's what Taco Bell is there for.

850
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, And then an hour later you're fighting with the

851
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 4: toilet like that.

852
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 2: That's right. Then you're a thousand, four thousand calories out

853
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 2: at two am, and.

854
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 4: That's a good workout.

855
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 2: I do wonder.

856
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: I do wonder how open like the PR team at

857
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 1: Taco Bell is about like just being food for stoners,

858
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: like how much? Because that was there, that was always

859
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,879
Speaker 1: their marketing forever, right where it's just like you're high

860
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: and it's midnight. Nothing else is open. We are your

861
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: only option.

862
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 2: You're in the suburbs. Yeah, it's us. It's us.

863
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: And that's why we all like we're always trying to

864
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: get Taco Bell because we're two shows and then we

865
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: have some drinks, and then we're in a town that

866
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 1: we're not familiar with and Taco Bell is the only

867
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:07,760
Speaker 1: place that's ever opened.

868
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:09,919
Speaker 2: But they've shut us down three times. Just you don't

869
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 2: have it for so long, we said screw it, went

870
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 2: to waffle House instead.

871
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 4: You can't oh waffle House. And I got into a

872
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 4: fight the other day. What Yeah, my producer Hayley. She said,

873
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 4: I'm going to waffle house. Who wants in? And I

874
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 4: said me, I'm starving. And it was like six in

875
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 4: the morning. She said, okay, I'm gonna go pick it

876
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 4: up and I get the classic chocolate chip waffle. I

877
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:33,959
Speaker 4: get some hash Browns, chocolatechi waffle goes down smoothly, Okay, yeah,

878
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 4: so do the hash Browns until like an hour later

879
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 4: and I'm like, oh, this is not good. I still

880
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 4: got two hours left on the desk. I felt like

881
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:45,959
Speaker 4: I had had a fourth meal from Taco Bell.

882
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, got you got and you were?

883
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 1: Were you on air?

884
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 6: I was on air?

885
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:52,919
Speaker 4: And so we have like I have like a little

886
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 4: laptop where I can, you know, update my scripts and

887
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 4: all that, and so I had my hash Browns hidden

888
00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 4: behind it as a good gel. Does you know what

889
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 4: I want? I don't want the world to know what

890
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:04,320
Speaker 4: I'm meeting. And I was like, I was texting Haley.

891
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 4: I was like, I do not feel well and She's like,

892
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 4: I don't either. Waffle House, do you dirty? You got

893
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 4: to watch out for him. I love him, but I'll

894
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 4: never forget.

895
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: I think the mistake was doing waffle House when you

896
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 1: were going to be conscious for a long period after

897
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: and that's all it has to be right before you

898
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: pass into unconsciousness. So you're unaware of what your body

899
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 1: is doing with the waffle with the waffle House experience, unbelievable.

900
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 2: Wow, this okay, here of New Jersey.

901
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: Here we go, Scotty, you are correct. Taco John's also

902
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 1: invited slash shamed NBA star Lebron James, who has appeared

903
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 1: in Taco Bell ads, to donate the fees he received

904
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:53,240
Speaker 1: for the endorsement. This is so crazy.

905
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, he tried to get the rights like he's. He

906
00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 2: was one of those people that's like I am going

907
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 2: to have of a business where everything is my business,

908
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 2: where I have fingers and hundreds of pies or tacos.

909
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 1: Taco john said it would continue to offer its Taco

910
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: Tuesday specials two dollars for two tacos, making it every

911
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: day deal through the end of the month. While the

912
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 1: registration symbol will disappear to Taco John's will always be

913
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,760
Speaker 1: the home of Taco Tuesdays to its legions of fans

914
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: across the nation. I have not either, but to the

915
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:27,240
Speaker 1: people that I know in like Minneapolis, they love Taco

916
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: John's more than anything in the entire world.

917
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 2: So I have to try it. Try it.

918
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 4: So a place called Taco John's and Gregory's only the

919
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 4: rights to Taco Tuesday.

920
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure Gregor's is the only one.

921
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 1: Now it's only Gregory's.

922
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 2: Those famously Mexican names, John and Gregory. It's almost like

923
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:58,839
Speaker 2: they should give something back. Here's one here, let's send

924
00:45:58,920 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 2: us home with this.

925
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 1: One's got Oh.

926
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're right on the money.

927
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 3: It was.

928
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:07,439
Speaker 2: This was in Men's Journal, written by Stacy Ritzen. Good job,

929
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:11,760
Speaker 2: Stacy Ritzen, You're the best in the biz. A United

930
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 2: Airlines passenger has flown twenty three thousand, excuse me, twenty

931
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 2: three million miles after purchasing a lifetime pass in nineteen ninety.

932
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 2: You saw this one, Julie saw this.

933
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 4: I saw this one.

934
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, did you do it on stupid news?

935
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 4: I can't remember, but if I don't want to jump

936
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 4: the gun. But they revoked him, right, they were like,

937
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 4: you can't do this anymore.

938
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,280
Speaker 2: Well sort of, so he Well, I'll read this article

939
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,320
Speaker 2: because this is basically about how this guy did this

940
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety. Any of this is paid for itself

941
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 2: so many times over, in so many ways that you

942
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 2: couldn't imagine. So here we go again. Men's Journal, Stacey Ritson,

943
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 2: best in the beeswax. Airline customers have become accustomed to

944
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 2: getting fleeced. I mean, okay, I know.

945
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:57,320
Speaker 1: The opening paragraph where they explain what air travel is.

946
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just going to jump to it.

947
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:00,839
Speaker 4: I like it not because they explain it to us.

948
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 4: It's like wow, that happens at the airports.

949
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: And oftentimes people don't like the airlines the way they're

950
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: treated planes.

951
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 4: The lines at TSA are long, people are flabbergasted. It's like,

952
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 4: come on, I just this is where I think like

953
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 4: stupid news should intertwine, Like, obviously this is a dumb

954
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 4: news story, but the writing I feel like should also be.

955
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 4: And so I feel like the opening line of this

956
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:31,360
Speaker 4: artist should be like, hey, you shtheads traveling sucks.

957
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:35,919
Speaker 2: Okay, fuckle up, shit heads were taken off the stupid land.

958
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, all aboard, your.

959
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:40,360
Speaker 4: Knees are on your chest, and the guy next to

960
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 4: you has had Taco John's.

961
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:47,399
Speaker 2: Oh boy, he so okay, they get fleece. For years,

962
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,399
Speaker 2: it's always good to hear someone being able to game

963
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 2: the airline system, and no one has arguably been more

964
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:56,840
Speaker 2: successful than one man who purchased an United Airlines lifetime

965
00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 2: pass in nineteen ninety, Tom Stucker. Stucker stuck to the man.

966
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,399
Speaker 2: Either way, I think it's Stucker. We're going Stucker, let's

967
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 2: do it.

968
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,799
Speaker 5: He's a sixty nine year old car dealership consultant, did

969
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 5: love anything, living in New Jersey.

970
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 2: That's where Greg is.

971
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:17,280
Speaker 1: His consultantship is like, how about you sell cars, maybe

972
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 1: blue ones, make sure you have more than one?

973
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 6: All right, cars, trucks.

974
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, we know, Tom Stucker. Some cars are trucks zeround.

975
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 2: You'll get them big buns. So Tom Stucker, sixty nine

976
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 2: year old car dealership consultant, purchased the pass of nineteen

977
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 2: ninety for the not insignificant sum of two hundred and

978
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 2: ninety thousand dollars.

979
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 1: It's two hundred and ninety thousand, so he that is

980
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 1: the craziest thing to spend two hundred and ninety thousand

981
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 1: dollars on in nineteen ninety. That's like spending a half

982
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:51,840
Speaker 1: a million dollars. Maybe probably under what I'm.

983
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 4: Hearing is we should be a car consultant like.

984
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 1: Of work.

985
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 5: They sell red ones too. Thank you Tom, Thank you

986
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 5: Tom so much.

987
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:03,919
Speaker 2: You're very good.

988
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 1: They all have trunks, okay.

989
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,919
Speaker 2: Stucker says it was the best investment of his entire life.

990
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 2: He's been reaping the benefits ever since and has made

991
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 2: his money back countless times over. Stucker has flown twenty

992
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 2: three million miles. That's twenty three million miles, which is

993
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 2: more than any human being in history.

994
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:29,320
Speaker 1: He's personally responsible for one tenth of a degree carbon eating.

995
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:35,360
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, he is, specifically just him. In twenty nineteen alone,

996
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 2: his busiest year of travel, he took three hundred and

997
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:42,359
Speaker 2: seventy three flights covering one point four to six million miles.

998
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 1: Three hundreds What how is he even? So he's not

999
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 1: even staying in the place that he flies.

1000
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 4: Does he just live on the plane like he's got

1001
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 4: a place in the bathroom. He's like, no, no, no,

1002
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 4: don't go in there.

1003
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 2: Kind of like that, honestly, Juliet's kind of like that.

1004
00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 2: Which is one point one point four to six million miles,

1005
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 2: which is more than six trips to the moon.

1006
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:03,399
Speaker 1: Wow.

1007
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:05,800
Speaker 2: If he had paid for those flights in cash just

1008
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, it would have cost him two point four

1009
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 2: four million dollars. Okay, so, but the flights are hardly

1010
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 2: where the perks end. To the contrary, Stucker realized that

1011
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 2: frequent flyer miles are good for more than just booking flights,

1012
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 2: and as such, he has used them to pay for

1013
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 2: lavish hotels, gourmet meals, gift cards, including a fifty He

1014
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 2: cashed fifty thousand dollars in Walmart gift cards in one day.

1015
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 8: What oh, why, I made a bad choice with my career,

1016
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 8: so he I can't believe it still gets miles for

1017
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 8: essentially free flights.

1018
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:48,919
Speaker 1: That's amazing, It's amazing.

1019
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 2: He even made an appearance because of his frequent flyer,

1020
00:50:53,719 --> 00:51:00,720
Speaker 2: Miles on Seinfeld, whoa so whatever weird corporate United NBC

1021
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:04,359
Speaker 2: connection that was Stucker stuck it to him.

1022
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 1: He'd anyone plays straight.

1023
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:11,799
Speaker 2: Some other people did. Wow. Okay, so okay, I'll skip

1024
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 2: to the inver tightening it up here. If you think

1025
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 2: United Airlines would be livid at this grift, that couldn't

1026
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 2: be further from the truth. Stucker is a next level

1027
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 2: VIP who gets settled in his preferred one B. He

1028
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 2: sits in one BC even before Premium, Silver, Gold, Platinum

1029
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 2: members are allowed to. He's had his name emblazoned on

1030
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:38,359
Speaker 2: United planes not once, but twice, design the menu at

1031
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 2: the carrier's new Polaris Polaris Clubs. I mean this. Maybe

1032
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 2: this guy's a genius, or maybe he just annoys people

1033
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:50,359
Speaker 2: into doing what he was. He just persisted as fun

1034
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 2: and has a Mercedes waiting for him on the tarmac.

1035
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 2: When he has a tight connection to make, he calls

1036
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 2: one eight hundred United Airline Customer service number and is

1037
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 2: immediately greeted by his own name. Unfortunately, for ban Animals

1038
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:11,800
Speaker 2: and Kurtie b and Julie Baker, it's too late to

1039
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 2: leverage the frequent flyer hack, as United has stopped selling

1040
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:19,919
Speaker 2: lifetime passes it did this years ago. But we all

1041
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:24,439
Speaker 2: have to admire this man's ingenuity. Pretty fascinating, guys.

1042
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 4: I feel like the stupid news is on us because

1043
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 4: like he has made this podcast where we talk about

1044
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 4: something so ridiculous, but the joke is on us because

1045
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 4: we when's the last time he took a flight? You

1046
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 4: know that, guys?

1047
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 2: Two weeks ago?

1048
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 4: Oh mine was in December, So really the dunkaroo is

1049
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 4: on me.

1050
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:48,919
Speaker 2: No, no, no, and before that, nineteen years So I'm

1051
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 2: with you on that perfect perfect I saw my child

1052
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:55,439
Speaker 2: be born and then nineteen years later I met him again.

1053
00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:02,439
Speaker 4: Congratulations he stops flying. Whoopsie, dude, all.

1054
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 2: Nice kid, But yeah, isn't that crazy? I mean, I

1055
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 2: guess maybe this is a lovable man. If we're spinning

1056
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,800
Speaker 2: this in the right direction. Maybe people love Tom Stuker

1057
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 2: or Stucker and maybe the flight attendants are glad when

1058
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 2: he said one b. Maybe he's like an all around

1059
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 2: really good passenger. But he is putting holes. He is

1060
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 2: He's burned a lot of dinosaurs up in that air.

1061
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, larger hole in the ozone than Hairspray

1062
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:28,800
Speaker 4: in the eighties.

1063
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:31,960
