47
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: show up there, because they do have little theaters. We

48
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,040

49
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: and then also stay up there. Yeah, and I actually

50
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: probably have a really nice time. So the mayor is

51
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:51,160

52
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: we you and I have a friend who has a

53
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: little mountain house cabin up there, and I asked her, Hey,

54
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: my parents are in town. Can we stay there? I

55
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,079

56
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: We go, lovely, great times, eating good food. My parents

57
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: stay in the upstairs bedroom. There's an upstairs bathroom. It

58
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: is above the downstairs bedroom where I'm staying. Downstairs bathroom.

59
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: Second morning we're there, I just hear like a thud,

60
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: not like somebody falls, just like you drop something heavy. Yeah.

61
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: So I see my mom about I don't know. Forty

62
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: minutes later, it's probably six thirty seven am, and she goes,

63
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: did you hear that? I go what? She goes, there

64
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: was a tarantola in the bathroom. I go, really, She goes, yes,

65
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: I go, Okay, are you okay. She goes, yeah, I

66
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: just sprayed it with hairspray, and your dad hit it

67
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: with a shoe and we flush it down the toilet.

68
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: Oh my god. So they handled it so fast, like

69
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: just like they both grew up on farms in Maryland.

70
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: That's true. They both grew up on farms, so they

71
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: just handled it like two farm kids who are now adults. Wow,

72
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: my mom didn't scream. She got up in the morning,

73
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: saw tarantula in a bathroom and on her first instinct

74
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: was I'm gonna spray this with hair spray to neutralize

75
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: the threat. And then my dad goes, here comes the

76
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: wrecking crew. He said he thought about picking it up,

77
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: and then he goes, you know what, and then he

78
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: just killed it first and then put it in toilet

79
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: paper and flushed it. They were like, do you want

80
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: to tell Molly and our friend that owns house, And

81
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, I will tell her because that seems

82
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: like a translate upstairs to knock in the front porch,

83
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: not in the entryway. Yeah. So I text her. She goes,

84
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm so sorry. That's so crazy. She's

85
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: freaking out, like, I'm so sorry, that's insane. I'll have

86
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: somebody come over there. And we were leaving that Daniel. Yeah,

87
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: so I drove, we go back, I take my parents

88
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: to the airport and they, you know, they were fine.

89
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: They just had never seen one before and it was

90
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: very early.

91
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 2: And also, I mean, I've seen him in person in

92
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 2: the woods and like it startles you. It's the size

93
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:00,559
Speaker 2: of your hand.

94
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: Yes, my dad said it was like three four inches big,

95
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: like pretty big. Yeah. So we're driving and my mom's like, well,

96
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: I took a picture. Do you want me to send

97
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: it to your friend? And I was like, now, I

98
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: told her it's fine. I mean, you know, there's nothing

99
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: we can do. So driving parents off, I'm driving back

100
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: to my house and my mom sends me the picture. Kurt,

101
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: I'm going to show you the picture my mom sent me,

102
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: and I want you, as a man of the world,

103
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: to identify this animal.

104
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 2: Oh, it is a fucking huge scorpion.

105
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: It is a fucking huge scorpion. That is not a tarantula. Picture.

106
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: I go, well, I think because it was six am,

107
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: and they it was in the morning, and I think

108
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: they didn't expect to see anything there. And I think

109
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: just the we had talked about transla season out here.

110
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: You yeah, so I think the word was just in

111
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: her mind.

112
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it is a three.

113
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: And a half four inch scorpion, which I've never seen

114
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: in real life.

115
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 2: I've never seen in real life.

116
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: Upstairs bathroom in the morning. So how does that get

117
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: up there? My mom says, I'm just going to read

118
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: you the text exchange. It's only a few lines. My

119
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: mom said to the photo at ten twenty three am.

120
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: So we had already driven back. That's how early we

121
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: were up. I said, that is not a scorpion. I said,

122
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: that is a scorpion. That is not a spider. She goes, oops,

123
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: is that better or worse? And I said that is

124
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: way worse. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. She goes,

125
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: Oh God, poor Molly, our friend. She said, for some reason,

126
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: the word tarantula was stuck in my mind because we

127
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 1: had talked about that earlier. I am old and dumb.

128
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: She said, Are you going to tell Molly? I said,

129
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: I am not telling her that there was a scorpion

130
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: in her house.

131
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 2: You have to because scorpions are different.

132
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: Than I did. Okay, then the next message from my

133
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: mom was are you home yet? So just instantly back

134
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: to mamo, are you safe. That's amazing. Yes, oh my,

135
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: so my parents woke up a barefoot in the morning.

136
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 2: And also like those things can hit like if they

137
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 2: sting you. I honestly don't know what you do for

138
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 2: us getting stung by a scorpion. I don't know.

139
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: I looked it up. It is probably not deadly, if

140
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: there are California brown scorpions or whatever, but it it

141
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: is supposed to be three to four times worse than

142
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: a beasting. So if that thing hit you, it is

143
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: like it's a day ruiner. Oh man, So the landist

144
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: plan we don't turn and run, Kurt. Now, the old

145
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: line state holds firm. We spray things with hair spray,

146
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: hit them with a shoe, and then flush them down.

147
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: Oh it made me so happy. But anyways, yes, I

148
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: it was like a funny way to wake up. A thunk,

149
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: A great story translor would have been enough. And then

150
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: your fiel scorpion.

151
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 2: That is amazing. That's truly amazing. I'm so happy save

152
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 2: that for the pod.

153
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: I know. I was like, yeah, I'm gonna I told

Speaker 1: We're gonna have some some heavy hitters. And also I

169
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: started a chat room yesterday where I said, everybody vent

170
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: for half an hour, and then about thirty ban animals

171
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: hop right on and started venting about you know, work sucks,

172
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: moving sucks, these things sucks, all these It was so fun,

173
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: and then at some point it pivoted in the people

174
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: just showing pictures of their dogs and saying feel bet everybody,

175
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 1: And then the last fifteen minutes was no venting just

176
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: dogs and cats.

177
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 2: Yay, that's so great.

00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: I love that. So there we go.

179
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: And then also we have a bonus episode of Bananas

180
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:37,640

181
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 2: month Friday Night Drink Drink Our Thursday Night Thursday Night

182
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 2: Happy Hour, which I screwed up last month.

183
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 1: And my internet died in my neighborhood and it was

184
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: one of the most stressful. I don't like to let

185
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: people down ever, and I went and just the whole

186
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 1: block was out, and I was like, well, this is

187
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: my own personal hell. So I did finish that drink

188
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: by myself. But yeah, we we cocktail. It's so fun

189
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: and apparently everybody stayed on just continue talking and having

190
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: fun amongst themselves.

191
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 2: It was great. It was really cool. And I think

192
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 2: the next one's going to be Friday or Thursday, August

193
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 2: twenty eighth.

194
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: If that works for you, Scottie, I think that might

195
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: be perfect. Let me check the old cow. This is

196
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,719
Speaker 1: live to tape, folks. I think I can do it.

197
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: I could definitely. Yeah, let's saim for the twenty eighth,

198
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: twentieth or twenty ninth. Let's say that, okay, because well

199
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 1: but we'll we'll circle back, but I do think I

200
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: can probably do that date. Yes, all right, great anyways,

201
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: and oh yes, I'm doing my novella.

202
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 2: Okay, tell me about that.

203
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: So I've posted the first four chapters of a novella

204
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: I wrote. It is called On the Rocks, and during

205
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: the last writers skilled strike, I decided I was going

206
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 1: to sit down and write a crime novella that was

207
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: intentionally over the top and insane. It is about a

208
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: man who goes to a company work party at his

209
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: boss's beach house and he looks down he sees his

210
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: ex fiance dead on the rocks below, with a Martini

211
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 1: glass swirling in her hands, and he has to figure

212
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,719
Speaker 1: out who killed her at that party. I wanted to

213
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: connect all fifty states because it's hard to find common grounds.

214
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: So I'm writing it. So I wrote the first twenty

215
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: six chapters, and by chapter, I use chapters very loosely.

216
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a ninety nine chapter book. Some chapters

217
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 1: are two sentences long. It is a page turner, folks,

218
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: all right, So the first four chapters are.

219
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 2: A chapter turner.

220
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: It's a chapter turner like you don't or you can

221
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 1: get three chapters on one page pretty easily. But I'm

222
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: writing it under the pen name Rifle Tampon because i

223
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: want to just unite everybody, and so I'm going to

224
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: be releasing two chapters, probably bi weekly, and then also

225
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: finishing the book simultaneously only on the bananas Patreon at

226
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: all of the paid tears. Oh, that is awesome, So

00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: generous people.

231
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 2: Here. It is Ohio woman who had her car repossessed

232
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 2: by the dealer takes legal ownership of dealership name and

233
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 2: a revenge move for the Ages. This was in Fortune Magazine.

234
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 2: I've ever read that soldier of Fortune, this Fortune Magazine.

235
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 2: This is sent in by Brett Kennerson. Thanks Brett.

236
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: Love that Brett Kennerson.

237
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 2: Written by Chris Morris. A lot of people say it's.

238
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: Best in the business.

239
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 2: Here it is an Ohio woman whose car was repossessed

240
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 2: by the dealership with just one month after she bought

241
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 2: it has pulled off a revenge move for the Ages.

242
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 2: Tam McCreary discovered as she explored legal options against the

243
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 2: company that the dealer has failed to renew the registration

244
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 2: on the company's name with the Ohio Secretary of State,

245
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 2: so she registered it in her name, then hit the

246
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 2: dealer with a cease and desist order ordering them to

247
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 2: no longer use the name they've used since twenty twelve.

248
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 2: As you might guess, illegal battle is underway. To back up, Yeah, McCreary,

249
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 2: according to court documents, received preliminary approval for a loan

250
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 2: when buying a used Kia K five at Taylor Kia

251
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 2: of Leo Lima. The lender later determined the information regarding

252
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 2: McCreary's income was not sufficient for final approval and the

253
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 2: car was repossessed while she was at work.

254
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 1: Ugh.

255
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 2: So they said she had a loan and then did

256
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 2: it ugh Once.

257
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: She responded, that's horrible.

258
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 2: It's horrible. Once she responded in court with the demand

259
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 2: that the owner ceased using the name. The dealer argued

260
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 2: that an arbitration clause in her agreement to buy the

261
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 2: K five made the court case invalid. A judge agreed

262
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 2: that could have been that and this is where Tia

263
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 2: really hurt. Tenaciousness needs to be admired. That could have

264
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 2: been that but the Third District Appeals Court ruled that

265
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 2: while McCreary signed the arbitration agreement and and that would

266
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 2: apply to the matter of the repossession, the claim over

267
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 2: the use of the name tailor Kia of Lima was

268
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 2: not subject to arbitration as it had nothing to do

269
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 2: with the Kia purchase. The court reversed the previous decision,

270
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 2: writing this claim is a separate matter that could be

271
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 2: pursued independently of the other claims in the complaint that

272
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 2: address the consumer transaction issue a lot of complaints. Since

273
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 2: this claim does not fall within the scope of arbitration agreement,

274
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 2: this claim should not be dismissed and sent to arbitration.

275
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 2: The case is now headed back to lower courts for

276
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 2: additional legal proceedings.

277
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: Wow the system on trial. We love that. We always

278
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: speak truth to power on this podcast.

279
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 2: There great nice work also. I mean, like that's fan Tan.

280
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 2: That's just using your wits. That's using your wits. I

281
00:14:59,120 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 2: love it.

282
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: There was a show on Discovery Channel. I probably tried

283
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: to loop you into it. I was working on this

284
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: pilot and it was called car Fellas and it actually

285
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: became a series. But the first production company that was

286
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: on it were a couple guys, You and I worked

287
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: with a lot who shall remain nameless, but they the

288
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: idea was out in Amityville, Long Island, there was a

289
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: car dealership that focused primarily on Cadillacs, used Calacs, and

290
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: it was run by three guys, and I think two

291
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: of the three had been in jail for crimes. They

292
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: were all Italian and so it was very godfathery. But

293
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: they were called car fellows, and they were all larger

294
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: than life personalities. They were larger than average men, and

295
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: they all got busted because of surveillance caught them in

296
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: like a sting, and now they sold used cars and

297
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: they were very funny guys. So the production company that

298
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: was doing the pilot for Discovery they needed some jokes

299
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: and some host copy and stuff like that, because guys,

300
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: so I hate to tell you, but reality TV is

301
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: ninety eight percent fake. It's two percent reactions that could

302
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: be real, and then the rest is people like Kurt

303
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: and I behind the scenes pulling the strings. It's called

304
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: story producing. Anyway, they were like, hey, we're not you know,

305
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: to use car dealership, you might get one customer a day,

306
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: you might get three customers a day. So to shoot

307
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: a pilot, you have to make it seem like it's busy.

308
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: So they were like, do you know anybody who's looking

309
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: to buy a car? And so I started reaching out

310
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: to friends and then they were like, do you just

311
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: want to pretend like you and your girlfriend are buying

312
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: a car? I was like yeah, sure, and they're like,

313
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: here's what you're going to say? So sure, So a

314
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: bunch of New York funny people of various ages, and

315
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: couples that weren't really couples. Just we all went out

316
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: there and Kurt I bought a fake car from the

317
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: car Fellas. I talked him down. They played hardball. I said,

318
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: can we get a cash? I'll walk out of here

319
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: today if it's six thousand. I'm talking to my then

320
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: girlfriend and all as well. And then they turned it

321
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: into Discovery Channel and Discovery goes, are these people real?

322
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: And they go, yeah, these are real people, and they go,

323
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: you're telling me all of these people bought cars in

324
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: that same day, and they canceled. They fired the company,

325
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: they fired the production company off the project, hired a

326
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: new one, and then put the show out with a

327
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: new pilot, and I never got on TV. But somewhere

328
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: whoa out there? There is a episode of TV where

329
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: I am buying a car versus the car Fellas and

330
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: really getting into it, really grinding their gears. They're coming back.

331
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: Figures are being thrown around. Meanwhile, at the time, I

332
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: had thirteen hundred dollars to my name, but I'm like

333
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 1: six grand and I walk out the door, I drive

334
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: out the door. And so that's just a little glimmer

335
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: behind the fake world of reality TV. Don't let it

336
00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: affect your reality. Oh my god, isn't that crazy? Yeah?

337
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 2: Also, who else was it? Was it a bunch of

338
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 2: improvisers who went out there?

339
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think as I'm saying this, I wonder if

340
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: like Pat Shepard, our buddy, our good friend. Yeah, yeah,

341
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: might have been one of those people. But also I

342
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: think they looked they were like really, so all these

343
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: twenty five to thirty two year olds.

344
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 2: Or bunk cars that I remember when I think I've

345
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 2: told this story on the pod, But it must have

346
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 2: been like twenty three, twenty three, twenty four, and my

347
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 2: it was again through improv and it was another improviser.

348
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 2: I knew she was a producer on a Judge Judy

349
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 2: knockoff show that shot in New York and for their

350
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 2: week of February fourteenth, they did like a Valentine's Day,

351
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 2: like wrote like a relationship court thing, yes, and it

352
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 2: was all so fake and produced. It was all improvisers

353
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 2: and then people and then some real people from like Ohio.

354
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 2: But I was in the green room with these women

355
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 2: from Ohio. Who were they all? And they were they

356
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 2: all had different stories about who which of the reality show,

357
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 2: like they were professional reality show people. So they were like,

358
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 2: They're like, oh, well, Morey will fly you out and

359
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 2: give you two nights in a hotel, so that's a

360
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 2: pretty good deal. And then the hotels are nice. Hotels

361
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 2: are nice, but this show, this show only flies you

362
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 2: out one night, so you only get one night and

363
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 2: the hotel's not that great. But then if you go

364
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 2: to like this, and they had that they knew all

365
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 2: of the shows so they just would do that. And

366
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 2: I was like, this is crazy. And then right before

367
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 2: we go up on stage, they wand us with a

368
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 2: metal detector and I'm like, what the what the fuck

369
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 2: kind of show is this that I'm getting wanded with

370
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 2: a metal detector before going on stage. And the woman

371
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 2: who had been talking, had a fucking steak knife in

372
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 2: her pocket, like a like a serrated steak knife, not

373
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 2: like a not like a switch blade or anything that

374
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 2: you would get, just steak A serrated steak knife, probably

375
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 2: dull as shit. And she was like, I'm from the streets.

376
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 2: You gotta be protected. I'm like with a with a

377
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 2: with a serrated steak knife. It was the craziest thing

378
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 2: to try and bring out on stage with you. Oh my,

379
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 2: maybe try and kill the judge.

380
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yes, I knew too, Dudes, that is

381
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: crazy to try to get. Oh my god, because somebody

383
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: there's some the judge is a judge. Everything else might

384
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: be fake. But you can't just walk into a courtroom

385
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: with a steak knife on your.

386
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 2: Persons in her pocket.

387
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: I mean the funnier bit is to have a fork

388
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: and a small steak in your pocket too, and be like,

389

00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: trying to be the neighborhood's living rooms rowdy kids, yes,

467
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: they're going to be building forts out of sofa cushions,

468
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: sheets and towels. We want people to be able to

469
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: come in and relax and hang out and meet friends.

470
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: Families are welcome as well, said Brian shirt Left of

471
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: bog Iron Brewery. Yog bog Iron. But just like when

472
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: you're in a guest in someone else's living room, you

473
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 1: can't be climbing on the coffee table. That is why

474
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: whoever wrote this, who I will find? Let me see

475
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: if I can find her. Right there we go, Brandon Truitt.

476
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: That is why Brandon Truet for CBS News is the

477
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: best in the biz. Oh yeah, Brandon, as so posted

478
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: throughout the tap room and printed on the menu. Patrons

479
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: of bog Iron Brewing Company can't miss the new memo.

480
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: Children must remain seated at the table with their parents.

481
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: What good luck?

482
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 2: Dog Iron understand children can't throw rocks. I get that.

483
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: That's fair, that's fair, that's decency.

484
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 2: But what they have to be seated at the table

485
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 2: with their parents? Did you that's just a way of

486
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 2: just being like, we don't actually want families here.

487
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: Again, That's what I'm thinking. The brewery has a full

488
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: kitchen and wants families to feel welcome spending time together

489
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: enjoying a meal, but recent incidents gave them no choice

490
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 1: but to adjust their policy. We literally, more than one

491
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: time had kids throwing rocks at root one, two three

492
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: right outside our beer garden, throwing rocks around the beer garden, climbing,

493
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: jumping up and down on our picnic tables and stuff.

494
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: It just got to be way too much. He said,

495
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: that's fair, that's fair, you can't throw rocks.

496
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 2: Look, that's fair to not want that stuff happening. But

497
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 2: then don't say families are welcome. Just that's all you

498
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 2: have to say. But don't be like where the Nation's

499
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 2: living room, families are welcome, but children need to speak,

500
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 2: only speak when spoken to.

501
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 1: Back in the fall, notch brewing, Huh in Salem. There

502
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: are a lot of breweries out there, Man, by God,

00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,199
Speaker 1: there are a lot notch brewer in Salem. And Brighton

504
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: established a kid curfew after six pm, only patrons twenty

505
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,360

Speaker 1: very early.

508
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 2: It's too early. Make it seven pm, seven pm, okay,

00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:25,719
Speaker 2: six point fifteen.

513
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 1: You're out there when the foreman pulls the whistle and

514
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: Mom leaves the coal mine at four pm, she hits

515
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: the company's store. She picks up some hard tack and

516
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: some lard for her family, and then she wants to

517
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: go to nice the rug rats. Yeah, she wants to

518
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: have a nice beer. She takes the conestog wagon home.

519
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 1: She picks up the dumb husband. He's over there in

520
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 1: a recliner chewing his cud, and then she takes them

521
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 1: for a couple cold ales. Why don't they call beers

522
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: ales in America?

523
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 2: I don't know, I wish they would great name.

524
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they go to Iron Brewery and she's been

525
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 1: cracking cold down in the mines with the other ladies.

526
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: Let them have till seven pm before they have to

527
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: drag their kids home. Bog Iron Brewer are the bog

528
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: Iron owners say? Most people understand and say, quote, he's

529
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: doing the right thing here. He's trying to keep everyone happy.

530
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: And I don't think he's trying to shut out families.

531
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: He's just asking them to mind their kids, right, Which

532
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: is the bigger thing. Is he should ban these parents

533
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: to let their kids run in the garden, throw rocks,

534
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: get them out of this, Yes, said one bog Iron.

535
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 2: Elect Kids walk around. This sounds like it's outside. Let

536
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 2: kids walk around outside, away from the table, as long

537
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 2: as they're not throwing rocks at things.

538
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: I mean, at Golden Road they had kid stuff, Giant

539
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: Connect four, they had I don't know, you know, they

540
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: had all kinds of kids stuff. Yeah, that's fun. If

541
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: you're doing it right, then you get a bunch of

542
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: well behaved kids. It shouldn't be that hard to keep

543
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: them at the table.

544
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 2: This is a person who does not have children.

545
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: That's what it is. That's what this do hard to.

546
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 2: Keep children at the table.

547
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: You know those things that love to sit still, you

548
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: never get bored. Yeah, don't pee all the time. I

549
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: think having half the page on one of the pages

550
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: of the menu might be a bit overkilled, said one

551
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: Patron's what it is, the memo is half a page

552
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: of that is so New England.

553
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 2: Oh so that's what it strikes me as. That is

554
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 2: very much what it strikes me as. It strikes me

555
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 2: as as again, am I dislike for New England rears

556
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 2: its ugly head, but an over obsession with rules that

557
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 2: go against the natural order of a human animal.

558
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have something where it's like every rock your

559
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: child is caught throwing is fifty dollars added to your bill,

560
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: or like going to the staff because it's like, yeah,

561
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: shut these kids down. But yes, seven pm. I thought

562
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: six pm was a tadra cone.

563
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, it's very much the equivalent of Boston's inability

564
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 2: to buy liquor on Sunday.

565
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: Yes, I win.

566
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 2: Throwback to the Protestant history of our country, folks.

567
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: Oh yes, the old Protestant history boy still haunting us

568
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: to this day. I went to Golden Road once I

569
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: was visiting some friends were doing a birthday party, and

570
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: you know those things. This happens a lot, especially when

571
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: you're young in comedy, where people kind of come to

572
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: a show and then they're talking to you, and then

573
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: you're done talking to that person, and then I show

574
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: up and you know me, and then you'll go Scotty,

575
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: you know this is a this is Dave. Dave is

576
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: a writer too, and then you walk away and leave

577
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: me with Dave. You know those situations. Yeah, as a writer,

578
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: this has literally happened to me every time I go

579
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: out for the last twenty five years. So I go

580
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: to Golden I.

581
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 2: Don't do that, but that I don't do that because

582
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 2: I don't know anybody's name. So I go Scotty, Uh, Scotty,

583
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 2: this is oh, by the way, this is Scotty to

584
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 2: the person.

585
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: Hoping, and then I go, Hi, I'm Scotty. What is

586
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: your name?

587
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 2: You always do it, It's very nice, I do.

588
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: You can never over introduce, so I say everybody's name

589
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: constantly until I'm sure everybody's clocked it. So so I

590
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: go there, Matt and Mary. There are good friends. We

591
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: should have Mary on. Actually, she'd be a great guests

592
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: and I could tell Matt is stuck with this guy

593
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: and I don't recognize this dude, and that's a bunch

594
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: of comedy people that you would know. And I show

595
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: up and I grab a beer and Matt's like, hey, Scotty,

596
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna use a fake name for this dude.

597
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: This is uh Steve. And I'm like, hey, Steve, nice

598
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: to meet you. And Matt looks at me goes, he's

599
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: really good at impressions and then walks away. So that's

600
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: how Matt dumped the guy on me. And and so

601
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: then I'm like really, and he goes, well, I'm not

602
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,719
Speaker 1: really that good. I only do one impression. And I go, oh,

603
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: that's cool. And he goes and I only do two words,

604
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: and I go right, and he goes, I do Sam Elliott,

605
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: but I can only do Sam Elliott saying the word

606
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: steel bird. So I go, well, let me hear it,

607
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: and he goes, steal bird, and that's all I did.

608
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: And I go and he honestly curtain. He did sound

609
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: like Sam Elliot when he did it, steal bird. And

610
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: I said, that's great. Why do you only do one?

611
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: He goes, That's the only one I ever wanted to do,

612
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: and I go, why did you pick steel Bird? He goes,

613
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. It just sounded like something Sam Eily

614
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: would say. And then I had to talk to that

615
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: guy until the next idiot came along and I could

616
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: be like, you guys got to meet Steve, this guy's

617
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: great and im Prinson, and then peeled him off. So

618
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: all we did is past this guy that I'm not

619
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: sure one that he knew anybody in our group, or

620
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: two maybe he didn't even exist. Maybe he was a

621
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: ghost of a sound mixer for Roadhouse Steel Bird.

622
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 2: I was talking on the phone recently, and I was

623
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 2: outside talking on the phone and somebody walked up to me.

624
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 2: Happened and went Kurt, and I'm on like I'm on

625
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 2: the phone, And I was like, like, kind of way,

626
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 2: and I don't recognize this person, which is not uncommon

627
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 2: for me. I will often not recognize people I've met

628
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 2: many times. Apologies, sure it is a fault of mine.

629
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 2: But he looked at me, No, boy, he looked at

630
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 2: me like we were we were siblings and had not

631
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 2: seen each other in twenty years. He looked at me

632
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 2: like he was either he was having some sort of

633
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 2: event in his life at that moment like where he

634
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 2: was going through something or I knew I at some

635
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 2: point knew him incredibly well, and he just it was

636
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 2: so crazy and I could not place him at all,

637
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 2: unless it was maybe someone from my deep past, like

638
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 2: someone who I knew in like third grade. He was

639
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 2: in shock that I was standing there talking on the

640
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 2: phone to the point where he stood in like expected

641
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 2: me to get off the phone and stop what I

642
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 2: was doing to like embrace him or something. And I

643
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,399
Speaker 2: just wonder who it was. And if it is someone

644
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 2: from my past that I've forgotten, I mean, wow, I

645
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 2: have no idea. It was really intense, though intense couple

646
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 2: of seconds.

647
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: But that person doesn't know how to live. If you

648
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: walk up to somebody you haven't seen a really long time,

649
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: and you've seen me do this hundreds, maybe thousands of times,

650
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: I'll walk to somebody and go, hey, Kurt, it's Scotty,

651
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: and I'll point at myself and the course I do

652
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: it every time. I do it to people I know

653
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: know who I am. But it's not it takes he

654
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:43,760
Speaker 1: does it to me, folks.

655
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 2: He comes, he says, Kurt, it's Scotty.

656
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 1: The zoom turns on.

657
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:52,919
Speaker 2: Hey, when I click on the zoom, knowing we're gonna

658
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 2: do banana. Scotty is still there, going it's good, Scotty.

659
00:34:56,080 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's me. I don't forget me. Separation me into

660
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: some thumbers. I got some good ones.

Speaker 1: he has always been by my side as I struggled

697
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: with my own alcoholism. Today August first, I am eight

698
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,440

702
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,200

703
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,879
Speaker 1: one more? We do love the thumbs ups around here,

704
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: don't we. Oh? I know there was a great one

705
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 1: about swim lessons because we talked about how like eighty

706
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: percent of the world can't swim or whatever. Okay, here

707
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 1: we go. This is from Katie, and I believe it's

708
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: Lessie but under the great handle. And sorry Kurt that

709
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: you didn't get this first. The Fruity Dike. The Fruity

710
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: Dike sent this in her words for it not mine,

711
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: making that very clear. We love all people here. I

712
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 1: am listening to the latest episode of Bananas and was

713
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: also shocked about the eighty five percent of the world

714
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: that doesn't know how to swim. So I want to

715
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 1: thumbs up my best friend Zach, who has been dedicated,

716
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: who dedicated his career to teaching children to swim. He

717
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: has built up several swim schools in Maryland and made

718
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 1: sure to create classes that cater to populations who are

719
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: statistically less likely to know how to swim, like low

720
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 1: income folks, African Americans, and people with some intellectual disabilities.

721
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 1: He is, in fact the best in the swim business.

722
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: So thumbs up to Zach. Also on a side for Scottie.

723
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: Zach and I have been drunk at the Columbia mal

724
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 1: Cheesecake Factory numerous times, and your Maryland anecdotes always make

725
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 1: a smile. Well I one day, Katie, I hope you

726
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: me and Zach go to that Columbia mall and we

727
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: do drink on like Bubblegum Lane or one of the

728
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: weird little wimpy names they have around there, which is true.

729
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,839
Speaker 1: Sugar Plum Lane is a real place that I got

730
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: rolled over for my radio and my car being too loud.

731
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: Are They gave me a fake citation like a like

732
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: a warning because I was playing I don't know g

733
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: Love and the special Nature. I know, I was playing

734
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 1: Naughty by Nature too loud In nineteen ninety eight on

735
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,880

738
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: lot of people getting sober.

739
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 2: Congrats. Okay, here it is Scarlett Johansson Adam Driver fighting

740
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 2: and marriage stories being used by the USDA to scare

741
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 2: off wolves.

742
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: So good.

743
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:28,800
Speaker 2: This was in Yahoo, written by Zach Scharf zak Sharf.

744
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 2: Thank you, Zach Sharf.

745
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: The Heart.

746
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 2: A new report from The Wall Street journally reveals the

747
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,879
Speaker 2: audio of Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver screaming at each

748
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 2: other in Noah. Bombach's marriage story is being used by

749
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 2: the United States Department of Agriculture to scare off wolves

750
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 2: from killing cattle and scaring livestock on farms across Wow America.

751
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 2: The fight scene is the most emotionally volatile moment in

752
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 2: BOMBOXX twenty nineteen drama, which earned both Johansson and Driver

753
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 2: Oscar nominations per the WSJ. Riding to the rescue are

754
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 2: drone Cowhans, whose quad copters have thermal cameras that can

755
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 2: reveal any wolf lurking in the darkness and bathe it

756
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 2: in a spotlight. A loudspeaker broadcasts alarms sounding like fireworks, gunshots,

757
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 2: and people arguing. One recording is of the fight between

758
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 2: Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver in the movie Marriage Story.

759
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 2: The drone part is the part that that should be

760
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 2: in the headline. Yeah, that they're using drones to broadcast

761
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 2: Marriage Story to wolves. That is a big part of

762
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 2: this story, and that's just right at the end. That's

763
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 2: really burying the lead. I had none who at the.

764
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,720
Speaker 1: Park Service or whatever has been checking out Marriage Story.

765
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: That's I think that's a pretty obscure film, Like that's

766
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 1: kind of an art house a type of that's not

767
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:56,240
Speaker 1: your mainstream film.

768
00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 2: No. Also, I feel like people screaming could be from

769
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,439
Speaker 2: any movie. There's so many.

770
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 1: That's like a lot of.

771
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 2: Movies are screaming, but Marriage Store specific is very funny.

772
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 2: I feel like it is like a someone it's a

773
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 2: joke from someone deep inside the USDA. Yes, I agree,

774
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 2: it's like somebody works at a desk who just like

775
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 2: was like, you know, assemble these things for drone cowpoke.

776
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: Yeah. Also, I would guess, See, I'm not a biologist.

777
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 1: I don't even pretend to be Kurve for that one time.

778
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: Well that was a mistake and I am sorry to

779
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 1: everybody in the front row. I would guess that human

780
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: screaming might attract wolves.

781
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 2: Oh, because someone's hurt, and then they can come in

782
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 2: and get a little bit of that leg or yeah, about.

783
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 1: To bop each other over the head with a big mallet,

784
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: and then the wolves just clean up the rest. I

785
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 1: just say, I would guess that the sound of human

786
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 1: screaming might draw in wolves. But then again, what do

787
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 1: I know? Well, I don't. I'm not a zoologist.

788
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 2: I'm not a wolfologist. I'm not a wolf guy. I'm

789
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 2: not a loopisologist.

790
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 1: What is that good? We're gonna leave everybody with an

791
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: educational tidbit. Scientist is called loopis. It has to be

792
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 1: a loop in there, wolf biologist, boring, It has to

793
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:29,320
Speaker 1: be better than that wolf biologist, wolf scientist. Come on,

794
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: you got to give me something good. Yeah. I love

795
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 1: a loopologist, yeah, apology, But I like a loopussogist. I

796
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 1: think it's a wolf biologist, which is a bomber boot

797
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: and I love them. I love a wolf. Who doesn't

798
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: love a wolf? Right? Great? Animal? Great? Great?

799
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:52,399
Speaker 2: I mean I know who doesn't love a wolf. It's

800
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 2: people who own chickens and livestock.

801
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: That's all right, this room for all of this. It's

802
00:42:58,200 --> 00:42:58,760
Speaker 1: a big planet.

803
00:42:58,800 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 2: It's a big plant, isn't it.

804
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: It's cool with like The Naked Gun did very well,

805
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:03,399
Speaker 1: so hopefully.

806
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 2: Have you seen it. Yeah, I love it's so funny that.

807
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: And I got the Beaver popcorn carrier too.

808
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you did. Oh that's so great.

809
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 1: Of course, how to do it?

810
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 2: Oh my god, tell me if the place did not

811
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,359
Speaker 2: go ape shit insane for this line.

812
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, the whole theater.

813
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 2: Why was that forty second Street, amc The whole place

814
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 2: was like tears coming down everyone's face.

815
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 1: It is a very funny movie. Pam Anderson is great

816
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 1: in it. Liam Neeson is great in the fact that

817
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 1: those in theaters. Oh, well, that's why it's doing so well,

818
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 1: because people are standing. I mean, people are shipping that

819
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: couple hard, including me. I think they're great together. I

820
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 1: think they're so cool. I love her. It's funny because

821
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: back to the Wolves briefly, the reason I brought up

822
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 1: Naked Gun is like, it is crazy that Liam Neeson

823
00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: an excellent actor. Ye Shindler's list amazing a million great movies,

824
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 1: but in the last twenty years really since taken his

825
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: which he thought was going to be a flop and

826
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: a stupid straight to DVD movie. He actually said that

827
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: in interviews he's fun. It's basically him fighting different people. Yeah,

828
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 1: and that he got to the point where he was

829
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: fighting so many different bad guys that then they did

830
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 1: The Gray where he fights wolves. Yeah. In the final

831
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: scene of that movie, he puts airplane bottles between his

832
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:28,879
Speaker 1: knuckles and then it's going to go head to head

833
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: with a wolf. And then I was like, this guy's

834
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 1: just punching everything, this dude, and why do we like

835
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 1: to see him? Leeam Neeson just punching people? And in

836
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 1: Naked Gun he punches so many people. It's fantastic, really fantastic.

837
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:46,320
Speaker 1: Go see it in theaters. Support comedy in theaters because

838
