1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:01,680
Speaker 1: Today, I'm bananas.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm, we got some crazy stories from you crazy bananimals.

3
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 3: It's another minisode.

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: I said, you're still well on its head? Would you

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: believe it's not your mind? Sillion pieces?

6
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 3: Would you be.

7
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: Bada Scotti? How you doing?

8
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 3: I'm doing so well. I'm realizing as I'm opening my

9
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 3: mouth that this is the first time I've said any

10
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 3: words to another person in about twenty four hours. So

11
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 3: if I sound a little groggy or a little raspy,

12
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 3: it's just just getting a little rust off the pipes.

13
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.

14
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: I remember when I was back when stand up comedy existed,

15
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 2: and I would go out on the road. It would

16
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 2: just be like the first time I would speak to

17
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 2: somebody is when I went to the club at seven

18
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: thirty pm.

19
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 3: I would just be.

20
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 2: In my hotel room like writing or doing whatever and

21
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: just just speaking to no one. And it's so weird.

22
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 2: It is like a very strange. When you first open

23
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 2: your mouth, You're like, oh, I haven't heard my own

24
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 2: voice in twenty hours.

25
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 3: It's weird because as a writer, and I have been

26
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 3: working on scripts for both days. I'm listening to dialogue

27
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 3: in my head. I'm listening to characters talk to each other,

28
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 3: but I'm not in that conversation and my mouth is

29
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 3: staying shut. So oh boy, I'm sure at some point

30
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 3: during this I'll just start singing to myself. I'll start

31
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 3: singing in the shower again. So we got some pretty stories.

32
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got some pretty good stories. You guys really

33
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: came through this time very excited about him. Who wants

34
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 2: to go first?

35
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: What do you think you know?

36
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 3: I'll go first because you you always launch us into

37
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: outer space bananas in the regular episodes, So on this

38
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 3: mini one, I'll dive right in. Okay, This one comes

39
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 3: in on Instagram from Katie Knight aka Katie Melba. Melbura

40
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 3: was my grandmother's first name, shockingly, so I had to

41
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 3: pick this one. Sweet toast, and it's about grandma's so

42
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 3: hold on to your booties. Well that was good. My

43
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 3: mom grew up in army brat and moved all over

44
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 3: the place. When she lived in Baltimore in the nineteen sixties,

45
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 3: she worked for Quaker oats. When the family moved to Germany,

46
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 3: my mom just assumed it was from my grandpa, who

47
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: was in Army intelligence. About fifteen years ago, we were

48
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 3: at a family reunion and my uncle casually says, hey, Charlene,

49
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 3: you should ask your mom about the time she worked

50
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 3: with the NSA. We all laughed because my grandma is

51
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 3: four feet ten and basically afraid of everything. It was

52
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: a classic grandma. My grandpa says, no, she really did.

53
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 3: She had a higher security clearance than I did. She

54
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 3: had a gun mount to her desk and was instructed

55
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 3: to shoot anyone who came in through a specific door

56
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 3: because it meant there had been a breach. That is

57
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 3: so amazing. My mom then recalled a time as a

58
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 3: kid when she was watching TV and my grandma made

59
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 3: the comment quote that gun doesn't sound like that end

60
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 3: quote at the time. At the time, my mom just thought,

61
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 3: you know whatever, Mom, you think you know everything. Grandma

62
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 3: then revealed she actually didn't work for Quaker Oats. That

63
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 3: was just a cover. They also got sent to Germany

64
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 3: for the grandma's job, not the grandpa's job. She'd been

65
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 3: tight lipped about it the whole time, and ever since

66
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: she won't talk about it anymore. So this family reunion

67
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 3: had some big discoveries being dropped. Every time we ask her,

68
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 3: she says, it's classified. We did manage to get her

69
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 3: to tell us that she was part of a security

70
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 3: team that intercepted messages from the Pueblo, and Katie mentions here,

71
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 3: you should look it up on Wikipedia the pages bananas.

72
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 3: So I did quick side note, So the Pueblo incident.

73
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 3: The Pueblo was a ship. It was built in the forties,

74
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 3: but in nineteen sixty eight it was part of this

75
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 3: thing called the Pueblo Incident or the Pueblo Crisis, where

76
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 3: eighty eighty three American. Basically, it was a research ship

77
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 3: that had been turned into a spy ship, and so

78
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 3: the Navy had sent it over and it gets captured

79
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 3: by the North Koreans and these guys are held for

80
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 3: eleven months. Becomes this huge international incident and it's kind

81
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 3: of the most famous and seat of the most bananas detail. Also,

82
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 3: one man was killed during the initial attack when they

83
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 3: were one soldier was initially killed, but then after that

84
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 3: they were just held but they were tortured. And the

85
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 3: most bananas detail is and you might have heard of this, Kurt,

86
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 3: like when the North Korean government they were taking photos

87
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 3: of a lot of the crewmen as like ahaha, we

88
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 3: got you, and all the crewmen are holding up middle

89
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 3: fingers and almost all of the photos as like a

90
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 3: fuck you to the torture. And North Koreans didn't realize

91
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 3: this for month, so they were sending in their newspapers

92
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 3: and out to like news outlets, and it's all these

93
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 3: American soldiers looking furious, being like, yes, they're treating us

94
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 3: very well, but they all have their flipping the bird,

95
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 3: like like their hands on their lap flip and the bird. Anyways,

96
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 3: that was the Pueblo. So this sweet little four to

97
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 3: eleven grandma I was working on that. So she kept

98
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 3: saying things like, quote, that's not exactly what happened, or

99
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 3: that's not what's really true. And then another time, my

100
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 3: mom remembers seeing the guards at the Berlin Wall as

101
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 3: a kid and being really scared. Grandma got really panicked

102
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 3: look and said, we never went to Berlin. I was

103
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 3: too valuable of an asset and couldn't be captured. So

104
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 3: there's a little mistaking here. My mom still isn't sure

105
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 3: if the memory is real or if Grandma was channeling

106
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 3: Obi Wan Kenobi when she says we never went to Berlin.

107
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 3: So the grandma is now still alive and kicking, but yeah,

108
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 3: bless her heart. She was a spy for the US

109
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 3: government for years and her own family didn't even know.

110
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's a great story. That is so

111
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 2: many I love that a couple things. I loved that

112
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 2: it was Quaker Oats, which is such a classic old

113
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 2: lady job to have. I mean, obviously, at this time

114
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: she probably wasn't an old lady.

115
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: She was just a lady.

116
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 2: But now that she's a grandma and then worked at

117
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 2: quakeer Oats, I mean, it's the tasty, it's the it's

118
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 2: the right thing to do in a tasty way to

119
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: do it.

120
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 3: I also like that there's a death Yeah, well, I

121
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 3: don't know, I haven't had Quaker Oats in so long.

122
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, maybe it was brim They got Wilf out there. Yeah,

123
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 3: it's cool that there's like a death door that doors.

124
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 2: The fact that there's multiple doors and she has to

125
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 2: shoot whoever comes through that door. If she gets confused

126
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 2: for a moment, it just shoots a person coming through there.

127
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,119
Speaker 1: She's like, no, that was the secretary's door.

128
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 3: Who ordered Gordida's no, sir, the left door just blast

129
00:06:59,120 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 3: this poor kid.

130
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 2: Just three doors right next to each other, always being

131
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: like the left one is it the left one.

132
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: No is it it's the left one.

133
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 3: It's pretty cool and it's cool that that. I mean,

134
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 3: I'm sure that's existing these days too. But yeah, it's

135
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 3: all a good cover, Katie. It's a great story. I

136
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 3: hope one day you get a little more clarity on it.

137
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 3: But uh, thank you for sending it to us.

138
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: I love it, you know.

139
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 2: And you know, my brother, uh works for the State Department.

140
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: He is a diplomat, and I remember visiting him because

141
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 2: all that stuff is so it's like, uh, you know,

142
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 2: you see it in TV and stuff like that, and

143
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: you're always assuming the reality of it is much more

144
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 2: boring than what we see in movies and television about

145
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: like being a spine and all that sort of stuff. Sure,

146
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 2: but then there's like little things that you like get

147
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 2: like get introduced to that you're like, maybe it's not

148
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 2: as boring like I assumed it was just like super boring,

149
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: like almost there's no real there's like maybe five real spives, yeah,

150
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 2: and everybody else is just doing paperwork. But I remember

151
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: going to visit my brother in Prague when he was

152
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: there at the embassy, and like he gave me a

153
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 2: tour of the embassy, and then he showed me like

154
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 2: from the front door to where you kind of like

155
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: go upstairs to like the more like secure area, the

156
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 2: hallway just kept getting narrower and narrower and narrower.

157
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 3: Oh, that's so weird.

158
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: And it looked.

159
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 2: Really kind of like it was actually like very architectural

160
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 2: and interesting. But then he just pointed out to me

161
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 2: that at the stairs at the end of this like

162
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 2: narrowing hallway had the wall to the stairs had slits

163
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 2: in it, so it looked just very like modern and futuristic.

164
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 2: And he's like, so, see what this is is if

165
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 2: anyone ever tried to attack this embassy, the Marines would

166
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 2: just shoot people through these slits as they came down

167
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 2: into a narrowing hall And I was like, oh, okay,

168
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 2: you know, like that's that. Oh of course that's never

169
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 2: happened to that to the Czech embassy.

170
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 3: My gosh, that sounds like when I was a kid.

171
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 3: My friend's older brother, he the first time I went

172
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 3: over their house, was like, hey, Scott, I want to

173
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 3: show you something awesome. And he took a papasan chair,

174
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 3: and he took the big round cushion and he took

175
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 3: the frame of the cushion and he's like, get down

176
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 3: on a ball on the floor. And then I got

177
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 3: down on the ball and then they put the papasan

178
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 3: chair like the frame over me like a hard net,

179
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 3: and then they he sat on it and then he

180
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 3: and his friends like punched me and kicked me through

181
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 3: the wholes. And I couldn't even like I was just

182
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 3: in a cannonball shape. And I mean they weren't like

183
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 3: hurting me hurting me, but they basically trapped me under

184
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 3: a papasan and then just prodded me until my friend

185
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 3: was like, Okay, you can stop. He's spending the night

186
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 3: to night. What an initiation, What a blood and blood

187
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 3: out initiation?

188
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: Good kids, all right?

189
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 3: Hit me with one. I would love a banana story.

190
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 3: This is great.

191
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: This is from Francis Hamilton Hall.

192
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 3: Great name.

193
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 2: Uh So, about seven years ago, I was living near

194
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 2: the Russian River and would regularly go to my favorite

195
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 2: spot to swim. But this one day, my then partner

196
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 2: and I decided to try a different area.

197
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 1: Big mistake. We get in the water.

198
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 2: And immediately swim into a cloud of macaroni sid not

199
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 2: a few noodles, but like a Costco bucket.

200
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: Size a mountain.

201
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 2: Grossed out, we get out and start to get changed,

202
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 2: and to my horror, as I'm pulling off my swimsuit,

203
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 2: a man steps out of the bushes. I yelp and

204
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: grab my partner and my towel, and my partner is about.

205
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: To give the guy shit for scaring me.

206
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 3: Sure.

207
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 2: The dude was like, hold on, I'll be just a

208
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: sec As he holds up a plastic produce bag with

209
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 2: gray powder in it, I said, we're leaving. I just

210
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 2: have to get changed. Oh it's fine, stay, he insists.

211
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 2: He opened. He proceeds to open the bag and let

212
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 2: ash let fly ashes, human ashes, just oh, but mostly

213
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 2: directly on top of the cloud of macaroni salad. Satisfied,

214
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 2: weird guy says thanks and walked back into the bushes,

215
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 2: leaving us in stun silence.

216
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, oh boy.

217
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: Mean good one.

218
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 3: Francis, Yeah, that is so bananas, that so well one.

219
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 3: I hope that they are. I hope the macaroni salad

220
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 3: and the ashes aren't connected. I hope that two separate people.

221
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 3: I hope one person was like my father would have

222
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 3: loved to be buried here. He loved this river. He

223
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 3: was a fly fisherman and then the other person was

224
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 3: like this macaroni sounds bad, just dumps it and walks away. Gosh,

225
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 3: that is so horrific. Also, just any time you're in

226
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 3: nature and then there's any person there, it's the scariest

227
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 3: thing that can happen to you.

228
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: A person you don't expect when you think you're alone

229
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 2: in nature is fucking terrible.

230
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, no matter who it is.

231
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 2: No matter what I I only when I camp, I

232
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 2: am never worried about animals. I am worried about human

233
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 2: beings being there.

234
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, And honestly, the less threatening the person sort of

235
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 3: the creepier. It is. Like if you see like a

236
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 3: guy walking down a trail and he's got like an axe,

237
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 3: You're like, oh, he's supposed to be in the woods.

238
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 3: But if you just came around and Katie's grandmother, a

239
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,719
Speaker 3: little four foot eleven oldn eighty year old woman, was

240
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 3: standing there, you'd be like, we have died. We are

241
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 3: in purgatory. Something bad is about to happen to all

242
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 3: of us.

243
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 2: We had had I had this amazing mushroom trip many

244
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 2: many years ago in Edinburgh, Scotland, where me and two

245
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 2: of my buddies and this was back in the UK

246
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 2: when mushrooms used to be legal.

247
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: They used to be legal in the UK.

248
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 2: You could just buy them and they were fresh. And

249
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 2: we went up and had this kind of like wonderful

250
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 2: experience up in Arthur's seat in Edinburgh, which is like

251
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 2: this big mountain, you know, in Edinburgh, and we had

252
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 2: really like the.

253
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 1: Most amazing day you could ever have. It had been hours,

254
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: it was.

255
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 2: It was laughing and crying and watching like a storm

256
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 2: roll in over the North Sea.

257
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: And like hit us and start raining on us. Was amazing.

258
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 2: We're coming down, We're like walking down the mountain. And

259
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 2: we stopped to have sandwiches that we had packed for

260
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 2: early from.

261
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 3: You're prepared when you're doing mushrooms, and I respect that

262
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 3: about you. You said we might get hungry later, and.

263
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: We might get hungry that and it was delicious.

264
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 2: We were sitting down, look, the sun was setting, it

265
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 2: was beautiful day. We're eating these sandwiches and I was

266
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 2: just like, I do not think this day could get

267
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 2: any better. And then as I finished the sentence, a

268
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 2: fucking puppy runs up over the hill and just runs

269
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: straight at us, like across a field of purple Heather.

270
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 2: He runs at us and then he's a little wiener

271
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 2: dog and then just like comes and we're.

272
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: Like, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.

273
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 2: We're like petting this puppy, petting this puppy. Then we're

274
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 2: like feeding the puppy. And it was no shit, like

275
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 2: a full five minutes before his owner came up behind him.

276
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 2: We legit for five full minutes just thought like they

277
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 2: have sent us a puppy.

278
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: It's just so perfect, thank you Edin bruh.

279
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 2: And then like the owner came up behind him and

280
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 2: then like the puppy followed him and they continued walking

281
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 2: up the hill. But it was like, that's just that's

282
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 2: the best thing to find as a puppy in the woods.

283
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, if you find it unexpecting, Grandma, that's very upsetting.

284
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 3: Oh that is such a beautiful story. And it's like

285
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 3: I did at any point, did you ask the other

286
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 3: people or person you're with, like that really happened right,

287
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 3: Like you guys saw that too, or was it just

288
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 3: like licking your face and having the time.

00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 2: No, we were, we were we were remarking on the

290

00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 2: it was was right after that we started walking down

292
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,000

00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 3: they are letting people pretend to go to the airport.

00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 3: Did we talk about this already? What? No? Okay? Oh,

310

Speaker 3: was basically the Taiwanese airport had some upgrades and stuff,

312
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,320

00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 3: not being able to leave the country, not being able

314
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 3: to go to it mainly, and not being able to

315
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 3: go other places that it's become like a real issue there.

316
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 3: So the government was like, Okay, we're going to issue

317
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 3: x amount of boarding passes, fake boarding passes. And what

318
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 3: you do is you go and you bring your luggage

319
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 3: empty luggage, and they check you in and you go

320
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 3: through security. You have to wear a mask. Everybody's like

321
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 3: masked up, and then you are They only let a

322
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 3: certain amount of people, so the airport's kind of empty.

323
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 3: Then they socially distance seat you on the plane and

324
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 3: then you just sit there and they tell you about

325
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 3: like the new airport and the plane, and then you leave.

326
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 3: But all these people are like my son and I

327
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 3: were going to travel for the first time and we couldn't,

328
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 3: so I took them there, and then there's just photos

329
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 3: of people sitting on this empty plane and mass just

330
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 3: just to have the experience of going to the airport.

331
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 2: That is at the same time, like I'm just because

332
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 2: first off, as someone who has to travel all the time,

333
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 2: that is the last thing I want to do is

334
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 2: go through security and then just sit on a plane

335
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 2: during your pandemic. But at the same time, if you

336
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 2: were about to take like a child who had never

337
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 2: been on an airplane, that would be super fucking cool.

338
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 3: For that kid. Yeah, it's like a trial run. Maybe yeah,

339
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 3: if they have nerves or something. But it was like

340
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 3: a lot of people were, you know, twenty something thirty

341
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 3: somethings that were just like, I miss flying so much.

342
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 1: I just want to sit on a plane.

343
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 3: I know. Gosh, but yeah, that was a that was

344
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 3: a fun one. My god.

345
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 2: I love that, my god. And also another thing about

346
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 2: the story too, is that the nudity. Like I am,

347
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 2: I'm always a big fan of getting naked in the woods.

348
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 2: Of course, as I have talked about on the podcast.

349
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 3: I think I've seen your penis third most in real

350
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 3: life of any ding dongs, counting my own. My own

351
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 3: is number one, by by so much, by by so much.

352
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 3: But I've seen mine so much more than anybody else's.

353
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: But also like I.

354
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,719
Speaker 2: And I think, and that's interesting because also in the

355
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 2: past I would say seven years, I've really dialed back

356
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 2: my public nudity.

357
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 3: Absolutely an impressive a noble amount, a parental amount.

358
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 2: A parental amount really, But I definitely that is like

359
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: the big fears, like when you're naked in the woods,

360
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 2: that like someone else is gonna like come out of

361
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 2: the bushes.

362
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 3: Oh you gotta you gotta tell this. You gotta tell

363
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 3: the story about when you were a kid and you

364
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 3: would take your clothes off. It's honestly one of my

365
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 3: very favorite card stories. And I heard you say this

366
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 3: probably fourteen years ago, and it's it's the best. Please

367
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 3: just tell me.

368
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: I really should should write some stand up about it.

369
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: I never have. But yeah, So I had a woods,

370
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: a very narrow, very narrow. It was this is Neptune,

371
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: New Jersey. It was a very narrow band of woods

372
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: that was across the street from my house. It was

373
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: in between Brighton Avenue and Shark River Hills and Route

374
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: thirty five. And so I would say, literally from the

375
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: street to the highway was a one and a half

376
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: minute walk. Okakay, sure, But there was a path that

377
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: went down the middle of it in between this kind

378
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: of like just really a median of trees.

379
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

380
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 2: And I would go into these woods. I would go

381
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 2: to a special place. This is when I was like

382
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 2: twelve or so, and then I would take off all

383
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 2: my clothes and then I would run away from my

384
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 2: clothes and like see how far I could run away

385
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 2: be before I got nervous and would turn around and

386
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 2: run back and get clothed really quickly, and I would

387
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 2: do it a lot, so I like would continually expand

388
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 2: how far I would run away. But literally, when I

389
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 2: think about, like in my mind as a kid, it

390
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 2: was like the woods, it was like.

391
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: This huge wilderness.

392
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 2: And I went back recently and I was like, it

393
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 2: is I could throw a stone from.

394
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: The street to the highway.

395
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 3: It is so narrow, oh man. And you know, there

396
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 3: was one strange neighbor who was not a threat, but

397
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 3: saw you do it the first time, and then she's

398
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 3: like doing her macromae and then sees you do it

399
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 3: again two weeks and like every time she reaches a

400
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 3: little closer to the phone to dial nine to one one.

401
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 3: But I love that you were just a kid experimenting,

402
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 3: like you were an only child. You were experimenting it.

403
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 3: It was like bravery. It wasn't even like sexual. It

404
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 3: was like how brave am I. I'm sure your mom

405
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,719
Speaker 3: was at work, so you were just having like a

406
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 3: little adventure, a little a little thrill seeker. Yeah, that

407
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:24,959
Speaker 3: is a tiny thrill seeker.

408
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 2: I love the woods, and I hope I hope kids

409
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 2: who grow up now have access to just like woods

410
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 2: that were like they have no parental guidance.

411
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 3: You got it.

412
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: I think it's a it's huge. You got it, man, God,

413
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: we did it again, Scottie, that's a.

414
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 3: Weird did I love it? And just to you know,

415
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 3: I was thinking about this, curt into all our bananimals

416
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 3: that are the kind of people that find themselves in

417
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 3: strange situations and they want to laugh and then they

418
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 3: feel like they can't laugh because the other people around

419
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 3: them are lamos. We appreciate you listening. That's exactly how

00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,680

422
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 3: at this. Okay, I'm gonna act normal and then go
