15
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: it is about strange news and storytelling and adult male

16
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: friendship that is not toxic, and I think that's nice.

17
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 2: Nice.

18
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: We're glad to have you where we'd like to laugh.

19
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,680

20
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: us news stories anywhere you want from around the world.

21
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: We love international strange news. I think the reason Kurt

22
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: and I love this podcast so much, besides getting to

23
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: chat with each other, is because we actually love strange news.

24
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: I really do.

25
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: I've never gotten bored with any of these news stories

26
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: media since we started.

27
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: Also, it just it's weird to have such a breadth

28
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: of knowledge about weird news stories because you want to

29
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: tell people about them all the time. But after a cup,

30
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: after two or three star, it's getting weird for people

31
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: who are like, I don't know what you're talking about.

32
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 2: Stop telling me about the fungus that infects Bee's brains

33
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: and makes them fucking then die, Like I don't want

34
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 2: to know anymore, and.

35
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: Yet I do. And we have a lot of teachers

36
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: and we've had a lot of been animals on dates

37
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 1: that say like they use our stories for their classes,

38
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: they use it for conversation starters. People are like on

39
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: first dates, I tell stories. And then the cutest are

40
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: when we've had a few family members be like when

41
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: we get together, my dad listens to you guys. I

42
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: listen to you guys, and we tell each other which

43
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: ones were our favorite ones and we guess and I'm like, oh,

44
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: that's nice too. So all are welcome here as long

45
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: as you're not a Nazi or a bigot or a

46
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: piece of shit.

47
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, And we have a Patreon and if you're interested,

48
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: we have so many more episodes available great on our Patreon.

49
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 2: We do a video episode, we do a bronanas where

50
00:02:53,720 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 2: we have male guests, we do mail bag, we does bonusodes,

51
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: and then also we do once a month hangout where

52
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: we saw a couple of drinks on zoom. It's very fun,

53
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 2: isn't it.

54
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: Tons of stuff, great community, Thank you to it.

55
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: It's a really good community. Everybody's very cool, which is shocking.

56
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: So many fun things. We're constantly uploading and interacting, and

57
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: I think when we tour a little bit more, maybe

58
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: next year and the future will probably release our live

59
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: episodes behind the Patreon two.

60
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: That's a great idea.

61
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: I love that sometimes we got to kill some of

62
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: those stories and that seems like the right place to

63
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: do it. But anyways, you can start at a dollar.

64
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: We have all kinds of tears. So whatever you feel

65
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,119
Speaker 1: comfortable with, we appreciate you.

66
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: You know, Scotti. In today's world, we all need a

67
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: little something we can rely on.

68
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: Quality shouldn't have to come at an outrageous cost. If

69
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: you're looking for luxury and performance, look no further than

70
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five Alexis Gleishenko.

71

00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: People dot com.

80
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: So this was in People.

81
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: That's why I was like, I'm gonna do it because

82
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: it's not that racy. Turns out people have vaginas. Yeah,

83
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: and that's news to me. This woman can lift ten

84
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: pounds with her vagina thanks to vaginal kung fu and

85
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: says it connects a woman to her sexual power.

86
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, I'm very interested to know where the grip

87
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 2: is where. Just give me some info.

88
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: You better believe I will. This was written by the

89
00:04:51,800 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: only person you want to journalize this, Gabrielle Olia. Gabrielle Oulia.

90
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: When you're talking lifting things from the nether regions, Yeah,

91
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: you're talking Gabrielle best in the biz.

92
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: Well, puss Puss, push up.

93
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: We'll see if that stays in stay, We'll see if

94
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: that stays in the pod. Kim, that's deity. Yeah, that's fine,

95
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: we're adults here. Uh. Kim Anami is a vaginal kung

96
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: fu master that says this method of building vaginal strength

97
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: can do everything from improving your sex life to providing

98
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: a natural facelift. In the vaginal kung Fume program I teach,

99
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: she says, it's about toning the pelvic floor with a

100
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: weight training routine and in the process, yeah, she's lifting weights, okay,

101
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,239
Speaker 1: and in the process reconnecting a woman to her body

102
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: and sexual power. Anami, forty four years of age, forty

103
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: four years young and strong, I would say, tells people

104
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: dot Com she believes that most this is her saying this.

105
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: She believes that most women have numb vaginas resulting from

106
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: a lack of proper use. Just like any muscles that

107
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: haven't been exercised, it will atrophy. This leads to numbness, disassociation,

108
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: lower lebido. Vaginal kung fu invigorates it so it can

109
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: function as it is meant to as a giver of

110
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: multiple orgasms and life changing pleasure. All right, all right,

111
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: say what we will. Kim Anami is fun.

112
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 2: Kim is living life. She is lifting, She is going

113
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 2: to the grocery store and just putting ten pounds of

114
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 2: stuff up there.

115
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's in that Jane's addiction video. She's stealing whatever

116
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: she wants.

117
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,799
Speaker 2: I still want to know how the lifting occurs continue.

118
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 2: I mean, I can imagine. I have some ideas, but

119
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 2: I'm really very interested. If there's a contraption she uses.

120
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: Don't google that. I came across the ancient Taoist practice

121
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: of vaginal weightlifting about fifteen years ago, she said, And

122
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: I tried it, and I noticed an immediate benefit, nice,

123
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: very uplifting. Not only did I feel vaginally stronger, but

124
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: my orgasms were more powerful and pleasurable. Anami says she

125
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: uses a jade egg attached to a string. So there

126
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: you go. Just need to just go on goop dot

127
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: com or goop dot org, not goop dot net. Whatever

128
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: you do. T me from experience, don't do not go

129
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: to goop dot net for your jade eggs. Oh boy,

130
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: if these walls could if these vaginal walls could talk,

131
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: U is that is that? I just made the great?

132
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 2: That is fantastic. I wish this author had said that.

133
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: Well, they didn't hire me at people dot com, and

134
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna I'm gonna they're gonna rude the day they're

135
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: going to rule the deck. Uh, And I'm uses a

136
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: jadegg attached to string to physically lift objects with her vagiene.

137
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: She has lifted everything from tropical fruit to a surfboard. So, Kurt,

138
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: this might come in handy for you. Maybe get a

139
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: butt egg.

140
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 2: If I was going to go for the two objects

141
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: that we go from, too, I wouldn't have guessed tropical fruit,

142
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 2: and I wouldn't have guessed surfboard.

143
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: Surfboard especially. Tropical fruit could be a banana.

144
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 2: Could be anything, could be a dragon, fruit, could be

145
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: a kiwi.

146
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: I'm pretty confident my butt could lift a kiwi right now.

147
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: I'm very confident.

148
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 2: Hmmm oh a kiwi? Yeah yeah, I don't think my

149
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 2: butterhole could lift a butthole.

150
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: No, you got to train for months for that. She

151
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: can lift up to ten pounds using just her vaginal

152
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: muscles seeing weight.

153
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 2: So it's not her standing up and holding it is that, Okay, Okay.

154
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: It is, But she's she's the whole, hold the whole,

155
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: the grip on the eggs. Yeah yeah, yeah, exactly, copy

156
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: in her special place, seeing and feeling the difference I

157
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: began incorporating the teaching into my work as a sex

158
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: and relationship coach. Anami says. The benefits include Again this

159
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: is the third time this has been stated. Gabrielle really

160
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,359
Speaker 1: wants to drive this point home. Benefits include more orgasms

161
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 1: and increased libido, elimination of urinary incontinence. That seems good,

162
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: Easier childbirth. I'm not even commenting on that. Who knows,

163
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: improved and tightened skin. I have clients stop using botox

164
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: for overall confidence. I see this as every woman's god

165
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: given right, she says, and that is the last sentence

166
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: in this And you.

167
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: Know, lady is awesome.

168
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: It is her god given right.

169
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 2: This is, i you know, very fun to have around.

170
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: Kim Anami. I'm going to look you up on Instagram

171
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: and just see if, I mean, is she a good

172
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 1: guest or would that be a major mistake. Only time

173
00:09:59,000 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: will tell.

174
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 2: That's a great idea.

175
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: Well, we have to do the heavy lifting in the episode,

176
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: is what I'm saying. But good for her, she figured

177
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: out something that works for her. She sounds like she's

178
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: probably fun of cocktail parties.

179
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 2: Oh hell yeah yeah.

180
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: If this doesn't work out, she can always I don't know,

181
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: become the world's greatest smuggler.

182
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, yeah, more like a circus, but uh

183
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 2: not a child circus.

184
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: Nope. Did I ever tell the story When I was

185
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: at Hampshire College, and oh, I am sure I did so.

186
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: There when there was Lollapalooza, there was this traveling circus,

187
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: freak show circus that would travel with Lollapalooza, and one

188
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: of the guys went to Hampshire College and his skill

189
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: was he could balance. I must have told this. He

190
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: could balance a push mower running, so a lawn mower

191
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: that was running on his chin, and then you could

192
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: toss heads of lettuce into it into the blades.

193
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 2: So for those around the world, im that I remember that,

194
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 2: I remember, yeah, I remember used to live things.

195
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: So they used to lift a car battery with like

196
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: nipple rings. It was pretty intense. Well we'll look it up,

197
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: but one of the performers went to Hampshire College. For

198
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 1: those who are not in the United States, or honestly

199
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: those who were not Massachusetts, Hampshire College is a very interesting,

200
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: extremely open minded, progressive school where you could make at

201
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: least when I was there, you could make your own majors,

202
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: you could kind of go be the weirdest version of

203
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: yourself you wanted. They didn't have freshman, sophomore, junior, senior.

204
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: They had level one, two, three, and they didn't really

205
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: have grades. They just had a group of professors who

206
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: you would present what you wanted to do and your

207
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: final projects, and they would just say, okay, you've done it,

208
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: and move you up the latter. Famously, one art student

209
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: freaked out and just stapled all of their clothes to

210
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: their entire apartments so that their bedroom was just all

211
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: of their clothes and they graduated with I degree. So

212
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: that is the school I'm talking about. I did a

213
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: film there when I was a freshman with my friend

214
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: Dan called Surreality Bound. It was not a surreal film

215
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: when we started, but it was so bad that he

216
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: edited it and colorized it to make it a surreal film.

217
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 2: Of course, that's that's that's an easy answer there.

218
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 1: Yes, And while filming that on so you.

219
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 2: Were just buddies with him. He went to school there.

220
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: I met this man one time. He went to school there,

221
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: and the director of that film was like, Oh, you

222
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: don't know this guy. I was like, no, I don't

223
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: go to school here. I don't know anybody. I took

224
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: the bus to get here and the guy pulled start

225
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: lawndner and bounced it on his chin. And then people

226
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: were throwing things, handfuls of stuff into his lawner on

227
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: his chin just in the quad.

228
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 2: Is that part of the movie. No, he was just

229
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 2: nothing to do with the movie, I think, And it

230
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 2: doesn't involve this specific skill because this is the movie

231
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 2: we want to see.

232
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: Oh dude. There was a woman that was the ad

233
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:08,319
Speaker 1: on that movie, who very very attractive, very beautiful woman,

234
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 1: and she was dating the director and she had this

235
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: British accent. And then when we wrapped and we were

236
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: all hanging out and we're all drinking, she turns to

237
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: me and she goes, I'm directing a porno and I

238
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: actually am not British, and I go okay. And so

239
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: she had been faking a British accent while at school

240
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: and then she directed a student pornography film. I was

241
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: not in that. I did not star in that. But

242
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: that is amazing. This was my freshman year, first semester

243
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: that it was like welcome to the real world, little

244
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: boy alone.

245
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 2: That is amazing. It was the Jim Rose sideshow circus.

246
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 1: That's the one.

247
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 2: Jim definitely seems like a guy who's been canceled since then.

248
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna we're not going to dread into that territory.

249
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 1: But yes, it is an educational podcast. And there was

250
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: a time where they were tour with music festivals nine

251
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: Inch Nails or whatever, and yeah, one of the performers

252
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: was on campus and he said, do you like Pearl Cham.

253
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: I go yes, I go sure, I like everybody likes them.

254
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: They're fine. Yeah there and he goes, I just met

255
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 1: Eddie Vedder last week backstage at Lallapalooza and he threw

256
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: an apple into my lawnmower and I go, oh, that's cool,

257
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: and he goes, you know what's so weird about Eddie

258
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: Vedder's He goes, how are you? And I was like, yeah,

259
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm good, and Eddie Vedder just looks at

260
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: me and he goes, no, no, no, how are you?

261
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: And he said they had like a fifteen minute, very deep,

262
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: heart to heart, like life changing conversation backstage after after

263
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: having the lawnmower going on his chin, no how are you?

264
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: And then he said, like Eddie was just like welling

265
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: up at the eyes looking dead into this guy's soul,

266
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: and they they had a nice chat.

267
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 2: Oh man, And the thing that he learned about that

268
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 2: was he'll never forget Eddie Vetter's words.

269
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: What does he say it Yellow Lead Better? I don't

270
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: even know whatever that song is. I don't know what

271
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: he says. I'm never going to look it up either.

272
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 2: I love that story so very very much, dude.

273
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: I was not planning on tell that one. That was

274
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: like a maybe I did before. Who knows, We've told

275
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: so many at this point, who freaking knows.

276
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 2: It's good, you know what it's it's for for me

277
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 2: being on this podcast. It's good that my memory is

278
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 2: just like I have a fish bowl memory. Every time

279
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 2: I come back around, I'm shocked and surprised to see

280
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 2: the you.

281
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: Know what, a good way to live a life.

282
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 2: I'm excited about it. I enjoy it, and I loved

283
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 2: Jim Rows is maybe doing great right now.

284
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: I was. I went as Girls Gone Wild that October

285
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: that freshman or Halloween, where my costume was I dressed

286
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: up like a woman in full makeup, wig, everything, and

287
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: then I had a halter your top pulled up and

288
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: then I'd made a cardboard cut out that said girls

289
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: Gone Wild across it because you weren't allowed, you know,

290
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: they were blanket out for the commercials. And I went

291
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: to the Hampshire party and that was a very popular costume.

292
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: Not because anybody's a hornball there. They're actually the opposites

293
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: that British fake British director. They were just like, yes,

294
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: make fun of it, satirize it. We need to spoof it,

295
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: we need to defeat this. Photos of that one somewhere.

296
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 2: Also they were like, we like visual representation of censor

297
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 2: bars on you.

298
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: Yes, we've never seen that. We love cross dressing. I

299
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: was like, me too, sign me up.

300
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 2: It is Scottie.

301
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: You got it, buddy.

302
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 2: This dog was thought to be blind. Turns out he

303
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 2: was just ignoring everyone.

304
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: That's my guy, this is my guy.

305
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: And there's a photograph of him ignoring the person taking

306
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 2: the camp taking the picture.

307
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: I love it so much.

308
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 2: This was in ola dot com.

309
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: Okay, I found it already.

310
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 2: What, Oh my god, that's eighteen year old me.

311
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: Girls Gone Wild Hampshire College got Marti Gras beads on.

312
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 2: It's a great it's a great outfit. Well, also it

313
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 2: feels pornographic because you're such a small child in that photograph.

314
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 2: I mean, I am eighteen, you're eighteen. It feels it

315
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 2: feels wrong looking.

316
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: At it, and yet so right here it is.

317
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 2: This was written by Danielle Nira. She's a senior writer

318
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 2: at ola dot com. Meet Don Luis, a six year

319
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 2: old pup who is living proof that sometimes we just

320
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,719
Speaker 2: need to focus on ourselves. This calm dog went viral

321
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 2: after Fundacion sent Us Patitas, an animal rescue in Chile,

322
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 2: shared his story on social media. It all started when

323
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 2: their team grew concerned about one of their rescue dogs,

324
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 2: a calm and collected pup night named Don Luise. He

325
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 2: didn't seem to respond to anything around him, toys, people, movement,

326
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 2: and staff worried he might be He is such a

327
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 2: cute dog he looks exactly like Zelda. They booked him

328
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 2: a vet appointment to get answers. What they didn't expect

329
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 2: was that he was not blind, but was in fact

330
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 2: ignoring everyone a fantastic As the veterinarian examined him, Don

331
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 2: Louis quickly proved he could see just fine. A video

332
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: of the appointment shows him reacting perfectly to movement when

333
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 2: he felt like it. That moment, equal parts adorable and hilarious,

334
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 2: instantly went viral. He is such a cute dog, Oh

335
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 2: my god. Across social platforms, online users were obsessed, commons

336
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 2: flooded and celebrating his energy. Quote a whole mood, quote

337
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 2: me on Mondays, quote patron saint of boundaries. In just

338
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 2: a few days, Don Louis went from a mellow rescue

339
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 2: pup to a relatable, four legged icon. Fans of the

340
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,959
Speaker 2: dog took to Instagram to share some stories about their

341
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 2: own pets, proving that Don Louis is not the only

342
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 2: dog who wants to have his space. At times, I

343
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 2: thought my dog was deaf when she came home because

344
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 2: she did not answer, And when I took her to

345
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 2: the vet, I was told she was healthy. One person right,

346
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 2: So that's a good story. Despite his Internet fame, Don

347
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 2: Louis still looking for a forever home, and this is

348
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 2: why he is on this podcast right now. According to

349
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 2: the team at sent Us Petitas, he's healthy, suite, full

350
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 2: of personality, independent and vibing in his own space. Quote

351
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 2: He's the kind of dog who will love you quietly.

352
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 2: He just wants someone to respect his style.

353
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 1: I love that.

354
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, So if you live in Chile. Go to foundation

355
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 2: sent Us Patitas and get this doggie.

356
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: I mean, what a dream dog. It's just an indifferent

357
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 1: dog that you know. That's fantastic. I would love that

358
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: so much, Kurt, how many, speaking of ignoring the outside world,

359
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: how many unopened emails are in your primary inbox?

360
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 2: Would you like a number?

361
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: Yes? I would, okay, because I can tell you mine

362
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: right now. Zero. I open everything as soon as I

363
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: get it, and it is the fain of my existence.

364
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 1: And ninety seven I would I would crack in pieces

365
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: and blow away with the lightest of breezes if I

366
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: had four but animals, let us know how many unopened

367
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: unread emails are in your primary primary box and just

368
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: just send it to the Bonanz podcast. Well, either can

369
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 1: gmail it to us, or you can do it on

370
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: Instagram if you want to take a picture of it

371
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 1: without you know, sharing your personal information of how many

372
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 1: unread and tag us in the stories. We will share it.

373
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: But again, don't dox yourself. How many unopened emails unread?

374
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 2: I wonder what that is, right, because it's definitively the

375
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 2: world skews one or the other.

376
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: Right.

377
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 2: Is it an ability to tolerate messiness or is it

378
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 2: a desire for cleanliness? You know, like, which is it?

379
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: Like?

380
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 2: You know, like I want to know what it signifies.

381
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 2: I definitely think people who read every email like yourself

382
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 2: are far more successful in life.

383
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: I read well. I don't know if that's true. I

384
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: actually think people that prioritize other things might be way

385
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: more successful. But I, yeah, I have zero. I actually

386
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: delete emails and text messages and stuff like if I'm

387
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 1: texting with somebody that is not a part of my

388
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 1: regular life, I'll just delete those because I'm like, if

389
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: I'm scrolling back looking for a conversation or a photo,

390
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: you and I head over text, I want to be

391
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: able to find you right away. So if somebody I

392
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: kind of know hits me, I'm like, I'm in LA

393
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: for the week, can we get dinner? And I'm like no,

394
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 1: I'll just delete it because I just don't want clutter

395
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: at all.

396
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I now just rely on the search function for everything.

397
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 2: Like my desktop is just thousands of files and I

398
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 2: don't honestly find it helpful to like organize them because

399
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 2: you spend so much time organizing them because new things

400
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 2: always come in and so you're always spending time moving

401
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 2: things from one place to another, when it's really you

402
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,959
Speaker 2: just go into a search thing and you know what

403
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 2: words exist in the document.

404
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: Let's true.

405
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 2: Just do that and they just all pop up for you.

406
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 2: So it's like you're filing on the fly as opposed

407
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 2: to filing premeditatively.

408
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I am curious. And the reason I even

409
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: thought about this from the jump is about god, three

410
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: or four years ago. It was over with a friend

411
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 1: of ours who's a comedian, and she opened her laptop

412
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: and she had like fifteen thousand unready emails and she

413
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: was complaining about like not having a manager at the

414
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: agent at the time. I'm like, I bet there's one

415
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: in there that reached out to you. Like I never

416
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 1: have fomo about people's experiences, but like I have a

417
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: fear of missing out if somebody's like, hey, do you

418
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 1: want to work on this, and I'm like, yes, I do.

419
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: Like I also would like to see if there's a

420
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: correlation between airplane aisle people and airplane window people and

421
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 1: the number and this because I would guess that window

422
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: people are have unread emails.

423
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 2: Oh but I'm an ale person. See, I'm an aile person.

424
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 2: I bet you there's no correlation there, damn.

425
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: And see that's that's how we solve every problem.

426
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 2: I think ale stuff is just about how much you pee.

427
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 2: I want to be able to pee one hundred times

428
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 2: a flight. I like taking a walk. I like stretching

429
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 2: my legs.

430
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: Aisles by far the best buy.

431
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 2: The tonnel Isle's the best, baby. But I mean like

432
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 2: looking out the window.

433
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 1: But nah, I've seen it all before. What's to see?

434
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: Just fields? Yeah, I've seen the Grand Canyon. Big whoop.

435
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: It's a hole. Uh yeah right, It's like the coolest

436
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: thing in the world. When you see it, you're like, damn,

437
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 1: nice work, babe, and Paul Bunyan. I'll tease the sending

Speaker 2: Yes, I like that.

442
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: It took so long. Okay, let's do some thumb I.

00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 2: huge fan of wah Wah A big Ready. We went

445
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 2: on a trip and we were coming home from the

446
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 2: trip and we crossed over into New Jersey. This is

447
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 2: after this child has lived in New Jersey for a

448
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 2: month and a half and she just goes, ah, sweet

Speaker 2: sweet New Jersey, happy to be back.

Speaker 1: I think this move was a good move for the

451
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,719
Speaker 1: whole brown older clan. And what do they have at

452
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: wah Wah for kids? Like giant fries or something.

453
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 2: Oh, they and cheese soup. They have chicken fingers, they

454
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 2: have hot dogs. They get it all. Whilea is really

455
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 2: a magical place.

456
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: God, but it's expanding and it gets to it in

457
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: the article. But first the thumbs ups. Yeah, Alison wants

458
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: the thumbs up all federal workers, including her name redacted partner,

459
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 1: who have been worried about being fired every single day

460
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: for months and months. Federal workers do God's work. Alson

461
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 1: says this is coming from an atheist, from things like

462
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: making sure drinking water is safe to drink and swim in,

463
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: to helping students succeed, to rescuing lost hikers, to curing cancer.

464
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: So everyone should give them a huge thumbs up until

465
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: and they should all get all of their jobs back. Yes,

466
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: I agree, sums up to you, Elison and your partner.

467
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:31,080

Speaker 1: That's awesome and finest.

504
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 2: There is something, there's something that we have lost with

505
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 2: Amazon one day next day prime delivery, which is that

506
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 2: idea of being like, oh I really want this book, yeah,

507
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 2: and going and it's not there, and then special ordering

508
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 2: it and then getting the call that it's available, and

509
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 2: then going in picking it up. It becomes so much

510
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 2: more important to you and I feel like you're you're

511
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 2: more liable to like go immediately sit down and read

512
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 2: it because of that, because that used to be the

513
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 2: experience of it all. And now recently because we're in

514
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 2: this town where the library is kind of under construction,

515
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 2: it's like a very small amount of books that are available,

516
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 2: so you always have to like put stuff on hold

517
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 2: for the kids, And so the kids will put stuff

518
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 2: on hold and then we'll go get it, and it's

519
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 2: like voracious, like there's a book available at the libraries

520
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 2: to like walk over there and get it and then

521
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 2: they read it immediately. It's like very exciting.

522
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, that is a lost art form. That's also

523
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: I don't do instacart or no shots fired on those

524
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: nice people doing that for people. Well, I know it's

525
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: a real necessity for a lot of people. But like

526
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: I like going the grocery store because I just like

527
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: tooting around.

528
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 2: I like walking and looking.

529
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: I know, sometimes they get a cart just for me

530
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: and I don't even feel up the cart. I just

531
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: kind of like seeing what's out there. I like new things.

532
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,880

Speaker 1: Now says his viral collection started as a complete accident.

571
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: Back in twenty twenty one. Quote Tyler says, I just

572
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: had like a collection order slips growing in my car's glovebox,

573
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: just because I wasn't throwing away for some reason. Tyler said,

574
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: As the collection got bigger, I just kind of kept

575
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: holding on to them. When the collection out grew his glovebox,

576
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: Tyler said he started storing the slips in his bedroom drawer.

577
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: As his stash continued to grow, he challenged himself.

578
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 2: So where did it go from there? Scottie, I want

579
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 2: to know where the stash was store.

580
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to know where he's keeping his receipts from.

581
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: Wah wah. I mean, it's a funnier thing if it

582
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: just started overflowing out of his car where he's like,

583
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: don't roll the windows down. That's number forty seven. His

584
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,959
Speaker 1: stash continued to grow, he challenged himself to find every

585
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: possible Deli receipt number they make. I had a couple hundred,

586
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: and I was like, well, okay, I got to complete

587
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: the collection. See how long this will take? He said.

588
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: I would spend time sorting them, putting them in numerical order.

589
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: I just kind of ran with it until the very end.

590
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: I like this attitude. Didn't even really want to do it,

591
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: just kind of he fell into it. She gotta do

592
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: something in this life.

593
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 2: You gotta do something. Look, he's got an article about

594
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 2: him on New Jersey dot com. You're the most interesting

595
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 2: person in Barnegut.

596
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: Hundreds of thousands of people will hear this podcast. Tyler

597
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: Urizenian is very famous. Now I had a couple hundred.

598
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, God, I can believe the collection. So,

599
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: Tyler said the most challenging part of his endeavor was

600
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: securing the last ten numbers of his collection, which took

601
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: him eight months. Towards the end of the challenge, she

602
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: recruited a friend to help through social media. When Tyler

603
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: found out the last number to complete his collection, he said,

604
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: he felt relief.

605
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 2: What was the last number? M It goes from zero

606
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 2: to nine hundred and ninety nine.

607
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, two thousand. So he has all of those and

608
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: there's a photo. They're all laid out in order. There's

609
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: almost one thousand of them. Finally, he said, I can

610
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: stop and have some free time. I know, it's like

611
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: self inflicted Tyler.

612
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 2: Tyler, Yeah, Tyler, come on, buddy, Tyler said, you could

613
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 2: have free time before this was done.

614
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: I think this sounds like you only had free time.

615
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: That's just the definition of free time. Time three to

616
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: four whah wah visits a day? Ok Uh. Tyler said.

617
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: The slip sat in his drawart for about five months

618
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: until he decided to layout his entire collection into americal

619
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: order and snap a photo on social media. In July,

620
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: he posted it on x for his fifteen followers, not

621
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: expecting to receive much attention. Instead, the post quickly guarded

622
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: four million views and received comments from wah wah, this

623
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: is the level of dedication we're talking about.

624
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 2: This is awesome. He had fifteen followers.

625
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 1: Fifteen followers, and four million people saw it.

626
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 2: That's so fun.

627
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: I wasn't really expecting anybody to see it, just like

628
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: ten people. It was definitely really overwhelming because all of

629
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: a sudden, my phone was blowing up. Since going viral

630
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: on social media, he claims he's been flooded with interview

631
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,320
Speaker 1: requests and messages from past acquaintances, I mean past acquaintances.

632
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,919
Speaker 1: The guy's twenty two years old. Yeah, how far back

633
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: we go in here? Six years four year old. Yeah,

634
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: we were in preschool together. You've done some pretty impressive

635
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: things in the last eighteen years. Uh. He's no longer

636
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 1: holding on to his Deli receipts insane. He definitely should be.

637
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 1: How much could a thousand receipts take up?

638
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 2: Like I mean, I mean six inches by four inches?

639
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, an envelope, a Manila envelope. It's fun thing to

640
00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: hold on too. Took you eight months or something. I

641
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: guess I actually took him. He's no longer holding onto

642
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: the deliveracys. He doesn't intend on reducing his Wahwa trips

643
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 1: anytime soon. So Kurt, you're probably going to meet Tyler

644
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: before he meet Rebecca Heath. During a typical day, he

645
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: starts his morning with a coffee from wah Wah. Then

646
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: he visits the store for launch, and he often gets

647
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: dinner there too. His favorite item on the menu is

648
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: the mac and cheese, which Kurt already said is fantastic,

649
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: and he says it pairs nicely with their sandwiches. I

650
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: bet it does. He's visited over one hundred Wahwah stores,

651
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 1: but he doesn't have a favorite location. He says the

652
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: consist the consistency across the stores is part of what

653
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: keeps him coming back so frequently. Everything's familiar, Kurt, Everything's

654
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: consistent no matter what location I go to. The employees

655
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: are really friendly. With one completed Wahwah challenge under his belt,

656
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: he's now set his sights on another endeavor. Snapping a

657
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: photo in front of every Wahwah location in the United States.

658
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 2: All right, there we go to get the next goal.

659
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, this guy is a banana boy in training. Really,

660
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: he's like banana boy number nine and ninety nine wah

661
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: Wah has. Just take a wild guess how many they

662
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: just have a New Jersey, Kurt, Okay, this is all

663
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 1: right's it's an educational podcast.

664
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 2: It is an educational podcast. I'm going to guess just

665
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 2: a New Jersey, just in New Jersey. I'm going to

666
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 2: say one hundred and forty eight locations.

667
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: You know, that's a really good guess. It's it's two

668
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty eight, but I think one hundred and

669
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: forty eight is a good guess.

670
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:36,240
Speaker 2: Wow.

671
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 1: And then while the chain is currently operating one thousand

672
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 1: and fifty stores, what it has one thousand and fifty

673
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: stores in eight states Maryland?

674
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 2: That oh really wow.

675
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: It has plans to continue expanding throughout the country, including Kentucky, Indiana,

676
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: and oh Ohio. So I don't know, let's give him

677
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,919
Speaker 1: Banana of the Week. Yeah, Banana week Nan of a week.

678
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: I loved Tyler, Guy yoursy and Guy reason, your reason.

679
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: You are Banana of the weekend. Though, I can't pronounce

680
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: your last name, but good for you for having a

681
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: dumb idea and taking it to the extreme. That is

682
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: what bananas is all about.

683
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:19,760
Speaker 2: My life in it was like a sweet spot, probably

684
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 2: thirteen fourteen years old sure, where just gaggles of kids

685
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 2: would come to my house on like a Friday night.

686
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 1: Yeah.

687
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 2: And I don't know why I was my house. I

688
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 2: guess because my mom was like chill about just like

689
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 2: having kids over. And we would walk from my house

690
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 2: to wah Wah and that was probably a I don't know,

691
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,919
Speaker 2: like a mile and a half each way.

692
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:46,280
Speaker 1: What a dream come true.

693
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 2: And it was just delightful. We would I mean, you know,

694
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 2: we would walk there. We would smoke cigarettes along the way, yes,

695
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,959
Speaker 2: and then get there buy more cigarettes, and then buy

696
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 2: ice cream, but get a big pint of Ben and Jerry's. Oh,

697
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 2: walk back with a big pine of Ben and Jerry's

698
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 2: eating it and smoking cigarettes along the way. Jesus a dear,

699
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 2: like those trips are probably the reason I now live

700
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 2: in New Jersey.

701
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: That sounds so heavenly to me. It was right. I

702
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,240
Speaker 1: wrote a paper in college. It was like a final

703
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: for some communication class. It was like in a personal

704
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: communication that heaven. It was what you described that your

705
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: childhood is heaven and everything after is meaningless. But like

706
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 1: that there is no afterlife, there is a happy childhood

707
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: is heaven, and everything else is just the epilogue. Everything

708
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: else is just wasting time. And when I hear you

709
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 1: say that, I feel like you just defended my thesis

710
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: that like, oh yeah, you heaven for you when when

711
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 1: you go up to that big cosmic banana in the

712
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: sky could just be you at twelve years old with

713
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: a group of friends, eating ice cream, smoke and cigarettes

714
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: to take a walk on a hot Jersey night. That

715
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 1: is like poetic, so beautiful.

716
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 2: So so pleasant. But I love that idea, you know.

717
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 2: I love the idea of like this now life being

718
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 2: the heaven. Do you know what I mean? That the

719
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 2: whole idea of this Christian concept that you and I

720
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 2: book grew up heavily with, of like you have to

721
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 2: be nice to people, you have to be kind so

722
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 2: in order to go to.

723
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 1: Heaven to be rewarded.

724
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah right, But I really think it. What it

725
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 2: means is like in order to go to heaven here,

726
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 2: like to make heaven here, is just to be nice

727
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 2: and kind to people and then that's how you actually

728
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 2: make the heaven. It's here, there's nothing after it. It's agree.

729
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: I agree. I'm with you one hundred percent on that.

730
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,800
Speaker 1: I've told my best friend when I was at age

731
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: like eleven twelve, same thing he was. I've talked about

732
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 1: him a couple of times. He would have the weirdest

733
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: and funniest eating habits. He was the one that used

734
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: to make cinnamon toast. That he would take an entire

735
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: level of white bread and toast every single piece and

736
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: then butter it and put cinnamon on it and then

737
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: re stack it cut diagonally into a tower of cinnamon toast.

738
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 1: And we used to stand around his parents' kitchen table

739
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: and just three of us would just eat entire loaf

740
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: of cinnamon toast. It's fun. Crazy. I would go over

741
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: his house and he would buy a thing of strawberries

742
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 1: and take out a bag of Domino sugar and he

743
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: would cut the strawberries in half and just dip them

744
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:28,800
Speaker 1: in the sugar and eat and live rest in peace, Kyle.

745
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: But he was he was fun. He was an indulgent guy.

746
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,240
Speaker 1: I think we could say that. But he was definitely

747
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,839
Speaker 1: my deepest best friend back then, and when we would

748
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: go to our version of wah Wah, which was either

749
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: Royal Farms or Highs. I don't even know if Highs

750
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: is still around, but Royal Farms is definitely still around.

751
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: We would pull our money, so usually three bucks four bucks,

752
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 1: and we would buy what are called ranch fries, which

753
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: are just like wedge fries, just big thick ones, always those.

754
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 2: There, and they almost they have almost like the fried

755
00:40:57,719 --> 00:40:59,240
Speaker 2: chicken coating on them.

756
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: Yes, And I can only remember what I'm leading to is,

757
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: there have only been a few times in my life

758
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: where I've had a food that I can actually remember

759
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: the exact moment when I had it, and it was

760
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: like life altering. And we go to Royal Farms. We

761
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: rode our bikes there. It was about the same, probably

762
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: a twenty minute bike ride, and we park didn't even

763
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: have to like up lock up the bikes back then.

764
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: What a time to be alive. And we go in

765
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 1: and the new product was ice cream Snickers bars. We

766
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: had never seen him, we had never heard him, had

767
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: the way in those freezer chests, chess freezers or whatever.

768
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: And Kyle opens it up and he unwraps and he

769
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: takes a bite and he just looks at me, his

770
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: eyes go wide. It was just like, oh, and he

771
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 1: hands it to me. I mean we were best friends.

772
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: I take a bike and I remember the exact moment

773
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: I ate in ice cream snickers. It was like, how

774
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,240
Speaker 1: did they do it? What mad scientists in the lab

775
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 1: figured out how to make something good even like just

776
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 1: fantastic And yeah, his face he just like looked up
