Speaker 1: boy on a holiday for a week without telling them.

13

Speaker 1: Berg Crown Older.

25
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 2: I have a LinkedIn I check I check out every

26
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: three months. Talk about a social media experiment where I

27
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: have somebody's like, you need a LinkedIn and I said, okay,

28
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: and then I signed up. And now I just randomly

29
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: will post the Banana's art by Travis Millard once a month.

30
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: Just to keep yourself alive in the LinkedIn scene.

31
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: I just need to know. I have thousands and thousands

32
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 2: of LinkedIn contacts. I don't know any of them. So

33
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 2: if you want to follow me on social media, find

34
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: me on LinkedIn. That's l a n des insane. What

35
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: a what a website?

36
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: What a website? I've never understood it. I signed up

37
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: for it, I think once, and then I just got

38
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: like five thousand emails exactly and like Bobby T wants

39
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: to join your network on LinkedIn. I was like, I don't.

40
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: This is I don't even have a resume up there.

41
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: What's Bobby T doing?

42
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: It's it feels like it's a website for all of

43
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 2: those jobs that everybody gets right after college that nobody understands,

44
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: like account services manager or and so that's just a

45
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: way for all of them to say they have contacts

46
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 2: and set coffees.

47
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 3: I guess I don't know.

48
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: Set some coffees. Can you have a I wonder if

49
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: you can have like a virtual coffee on the LinkedIn.

50
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 2: Oh that's a sad that is a low point in

51
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 2: one's life. That is the beginning of the end.

52
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: During the pandemic, I used to play a video poker

53
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: like like actual like zoom, kind of like zoom, but

54
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: it would be like little video squares of my friends

55
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: real tree. And for some reason inside the program, you

56
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: could you could gift each other energy drinks.

57
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 3: Are you serious?

58
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: And it would just be it must be whoever, whatever

59
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: weird Russian owns that program. It must be his, like

60
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: his energy drink that he owns, so you could like

61
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: give him a bright energy drink or whatever the hell

62
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: it was called. And it was the dumbest thing, and

63
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: it would just appear on the table and then it

64
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: would just disappear after the length of time of drinking

65
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: a energy See. I mean, you got me, but it

66
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: it doesn't make any sense.

67
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: You're sending it virtual energy drinks to every guy at

68
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 2: that table, no matter if they've been bluff and.

69
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: All night comes here it comes.

70
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 2: There is a weird time where part of working for

71
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: Red Bull was you had to find potential new accounts,

72
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: so you would look in newspapers, you look online, you'd

73
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: look anywhere to be like, where's someplace where people need energy?

74
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: And one day I was like, Oh, there's a big

75
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 2: gamer video game convention in Queens. Deep in Queens. I

76
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 2: was like, go to my boss. I'm like, this is perfect.

77
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: We'll go. We can like sample tons of red bull.

78
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 2: And she just looks at me. She's like no, and

79
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 2: I'm like, why not. She's like, we've tried that in

80
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: the past. They don't drink red bull. I'm like, they

81
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 2: don't drink energy drinks. She goes, they drink balls, and

82
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 2: I go, they drink balls. And there is an energy

83
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 2: drink that comes in bottles b A WLS And at

84
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 2: that time they it was the drink of choice for gamers.

85
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 2: I don't know if it still is, but we would

86
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: literally skip gaming events because they were already chugging balls.

87
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: It is so funny that, I mean, whoever created balls

88
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: just I mean they wanted the people to buy it

89
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: to be humiliated, were just chugging bards the whole time.

90
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: It's so alert. Do you remember Jolts? I remember Jolt

91
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: was the big one. When I was in like middle school.

92
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 2: Me too would be ride your bike to a convenience

93
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 2: store and drink a jolt, and then there was rumor

94
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 2: in every small town that some kid drank three and died.

95
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: Yes, you would drink one jolt and then everyone would

96
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: be like, I'm feeling it, man, I'm crazy. And then

97
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: you would play video games, have one slice of pizza,

98
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: and then ride your bike home.

99
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it tastes it was a cola. It tasted like

100
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 2: a weird It tastes like RC Cola, one of those

101
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 2: sort of other brands. And I don't remember being good.

102
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: I remember making your teeth feel a certain way.

103
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: They would had like a coating on your teeth.

104
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, like a dryness or a stickiness to your teeth

Speaker 2: that you know.

106
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: It's the enamel being washed away. That's probably what that

107
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: feely was.

129
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 2: was looking up prices of billboards across the country and

130
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 2: I found some places where along the highway it's fifteen

131
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 2: hundred bucks for billboard for a month. Yeah, and I

132
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 2: feel like we need to put a bananas billboard somewhere

133
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: in America that is very unexpected, that does have traffic,

134
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 2: you know, maybe Montana, maybe Arkansas, somewhere the people would

135
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 2: not expect to be driving to work one day and

136
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 2: look up and see some big bananas podcast billboard.

137
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: Did I ever tell you? First off, yes, And secondly,

138
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: I've done a lot of research on billboards because I

139
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: had a lot of billboard ideas.

140
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 3: I wish you did.

141
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever talked about my billboard

142
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: ideas here on the podcast.

143
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 3: No, we talked about the kash Cascio one.

144
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: Yes, but like so one of the billboards I had,

145
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: like I had them mocked up and everything, and I

146
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: was sending them around the billboard companies trying to get

147
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: because I just couldn't afford it in LA and it's

148
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: like three grand for a couple of weeks. One was, uh,

149
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: paper clip, animated paper clip, just going Hi, looks like

150
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: you're trying to make a billboard.

151
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, great? What was it? Clippy Clippy? I from

152
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: a Microsoft word Clippy.

153
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: We would have had to all him enough to be

154
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: like bill BOARDI or whatever. And then another one was

155
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: like happy birthday Brian, and then underneath it just said

156
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: accurate accurate over three hundred times a day. Yes, there

157
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: are a lot of Brian's out there. And then something

158
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: other was, oh it was a letter. I think it

159
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: was a letter that said two. I don't know if

160
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: I use the word Brian again, but it was like

161
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: to Brian. And then in parentheses, not regular Brian, giant Brian.

162
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 3: I mean that's the winner, that's the one you needed.

163
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, we should totally do that. I'd be super

164
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 1: down with getting on.

165
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, one of those.

166
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 2: Animals in the US of A in Canada, if there's

167
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 2: a very specific billboard just outside of your town that

168
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 2: you look at all the time that I don't know,

169
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 2: is usually an RB's or usually a local lawyer or something.

170
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 2: Let us know and maybe we can figure out how

171
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 2: to put a bananas podcast billboard. Or they're just who

172
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 2: are the fun of it?

173
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: Or a realtor?

174
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 3: Oh bye, we've been talking.

175
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: Scotty and I were talking about this on text. Why

176
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: are we seeing? Why do we need the photograph of

177
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: the realtor who's trying to sell you a property?

178
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 2: No idea? What is the appeal? And who do these

179
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 2: people think they are?

180
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: I don't understand, Like, is it just like the person's like,

181
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: oh well, I'd love to go upstairs and check out

182
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 1: the closet space, but I don't want some o go

183
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: standing down in the kitchen just standing there. Oh wait,

184
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: they're attractive, all right, I'll go look at this house

185
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: like it's so crazy?

186
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 3: Yeah?

187
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 2: Is it comforting? Is the idea, like, I just want

188
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 2: to make you comfortable. You see a smiling face. So

189
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: when you're in a house with somebody who thinks it's

190
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 2: normal to put a photo of themselves in the middle

191
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 2: of a town, it's smiling, wearing cat business casual. That's

192
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 2: the craziest person. To me, I don't want to be

193
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 2: alone with that person. I want to be the person

194
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 2: that's like, ah, it's all about the house. I just

195
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 2: here to make deals. It's not about me. Realders are like,

196
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 2: it's about me first, and then your stupid little house.

197
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 3: Second.

198
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: What if the here's what I would want. I would

199
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: want a photo of the house they live in, Like

200
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: if they've got a really cool house, yep, great, And

201
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, yes, I want whoever owns that house to

202
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: help me find a house that's that cool.

203
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

204
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 2: It's like when you go to a hair salon, like, man,

205
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: you know, if we go to a barbershop or place

206
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 2: that cuts men's hair, it's usually just some dude and

207
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 2: you cut your hair. Sometimes you go to hair salons

208
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 2: and I remember as a kid, like I'd have to

209
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 2: go with my parents or my sister or whatever to

210
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: wherever they got their haircut, and I just was like,

211
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 2: does everybody that works in a hair salon in Maryland

212
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: have the worst hair styling of all?

213
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 3: Like?

214
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 2: Are they so bored that they just try things on

215
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 2: each other until they've just baked their hair into dust?

216
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think right, if you're just like there, it's

217
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: like I can do this, Why wouldn't I just constantly

218
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: do it?

219
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with it.

220
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: I'm a good idea. I think you texted something about

221
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: it which was like, is the idea of having the

222
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: photograph of the realder like they're gonna lure you into

223
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: the house by being sexy and then be like buy

224
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 1: the house like a bait and switch. Like you're like, oh,

225
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get some, but then you're like, I guess

226
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: I'll buy this house instead.

227
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

228
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 2: It's weird because if you live in one area for

229
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 2: long enough, you kind of like grow old with the

230
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 2: reelders that you see in the photos and you kind

231
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 2: of get to know them in the weirdest, most distant

232
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 2: way where you're like, a Eric's losing his hair, or

233
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 2: you're like, looks like Shirley's drinking again.

234
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: Shirley, All right, here we go? This is this this

Speaker 3: Here it is, I'm laughing.

251
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: A babysitter has claimed she accidentally took her neighbor's two

252
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: year old boy on holiday for a week without telling

253
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: his parents. Woman the bizarre incident the quote biggest mistake

254
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: she's ever made, and.

255
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 3: It shared on the top.

256
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, taking a taking a toddler on any vacation is

257
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 1: the biggest mistake any was ever made.

258
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 3: That's correct, but here it is.

259
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: She described how age twenty, she frequently baby sat her

260
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: next door neighbor's toddler to quote help his mom out

261
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 1: for a few hours at a time. On one occasion,

262
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: it says the mom, I'm going to stop saying the mom.

263
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: The mom couldst her quote, could you look after my son?

264
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: And would you mind having him overnight because I'm going

265
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: away for the evening. The babysitter, who goes by the

266
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: name scene as you asked on TikTok, said, problem is,

267
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: I said, I'm actually going away on holiday on Tuesday.

268
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: She wanted Monday night. So Monday comes along and she

269
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: drops off this sweet little boy. He's really lovely. He

270
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: stayed overnight. And by the way, the part that's left

271
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: out here is that the mom says, oh, well, then

272
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 1: that's fine. She said, I'm actually going away on holiday

273
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, and the mom says, oh, that's fine. So

274
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: on Monday, and why would you follow up with that response?

275
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you say, what's fine that I'm going away

276
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 2: and you're leaving a child at a house that's going

277
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 2: to be empty tomorrow.

278
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: Nope, So early Tuesday morning, we all packed up the car,

279
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: I popped him in his car seat. We drove off

280
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 1: to London. We live in Birmingham, stayed in a hotel.

281
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: I got the hotel to give a little cot. He

282
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: was so lovely. I got him food and bought extra

283
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: nappies as she hadn't sent enough nappies for the week.

284
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: And I just went through the week with this little lad.

285
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: During the day, I took him to the zoo and

286
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: walked around Hyde Park. We had a blast. He loved it.

287
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: He slept really well, didn't cry at night, and everything

288
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: was great. The babysitter didn't have a phone at the

289
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: time of the trip in nineteen ninety one. Oh okay,

290
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: got yeah, this is nineteen ninety one. This explained so much.

291
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: And she didn't know the neighbor's number because they only

292
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: ever spoke face to face at each other's door. This

293
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: is a type of relationship that no longer exists.

294
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 3: Correct quote.

295
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: I don't have a phone with me and I don't

296
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: have her number. So I bought postcards and I wrote

297
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: a postcard and posted it to her address of that

298
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: just so she knew everything was okay and that the

299
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: kid was fine. On returning home, the babysitter dropped off

300
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: the boy with his baffled parents, who took the saga well,

301
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: She claims. The mom told the babysitter so lovely of you,

302
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: really wonderful.

303
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 3: The most British response possible.

304
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: Well, of course, two weeks or a week. How two

305
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: weeks of just losing their minds that their two year

306
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: old has been stolen, and now oh so lovely of you,

307
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: really wonderful. That's the worst accent.

308
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 3: I liked it, she says.

309
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: I do have to say something, though. When I said

310
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: that's fine, I meant I'll come back Tuesday morning and

311
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: get him. I didn't actually mean for you to take

312
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: him on holiday the whole week. The baffled babysitter said,

313
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: thank god I sent the postcards. Oh my god, I'm

314
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: so sorry. I can't believe I took your kid, But

315
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: the mom was pleased. The babysitter claims and rely and replied, no,

316
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: I had a great time. I had a lovely break

317
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: for the week.

318
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 2: Yes, that's the funniest part. Who is really on vacation?

319
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 2: The real holiday was the mom and dad that were like,

320
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 2: smell you later, kid.

321
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: I know it was probably it was probably panic for

322
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: twenty four hours until because so in another article I

323
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: read she sent a postcard every single day, so like

324
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: the day she got there, she sent a postcard. So

325
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: probably the panic was like twenty four hours or it

326
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,119
Speaker 1: was the nineties.

327
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 3: Man, I agree, and like that's what I'm going with.

328
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: We're just used to just like, well, we haven't seen

329
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: the kids in sixteen hours, and we don't worry at all.

330
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean totally.

331
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 2: I remember riding my bike around town before cell phones

332
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 2: existed or whatever, and your parents are like be home,

333
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 2: you know, before dark or the street lights came on

334
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 2: or whatever.

335
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 3: That was it. That was gone.

336
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: It was just gone.

337
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 3: We're just gone.

338
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: I would leave in eighth grade, so I was thirteen

339
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: or fourteen years old. I would leave the house at

340
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: like eight am and just leave on my bike and

341
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: I wouldn't come back until it was dark. And there

342
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: was no coll there was it like what'd you do?

343
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: We rode around? That's it. Here's dinner.

344
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, as long as you weren't injured, it was like, hey,

345
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 2: you're cool.

346
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 3: Not anymore.

347
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 2: We live in the air the True Crime era. Everybody

348
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 2: knows everything, and everybody's connected, and everybody's got ring cameras

349
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 2: and yeah, we are no longer in It's cool.

350
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: I know, It's I go back and forth. I go

351
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: back back and forth with it. It's like, I do

352
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: want my kids to have a sense of independence and

353
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: to feel that freedom that I felt. Yes, sure, and

354
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: I don't want them abducted.

355
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 3: Those there's the balance. That's what you get for having

356
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 3: adorable children. It's a yeah, I know.

357
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 2: But I think the weirdest part about the Great quar

358
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 2: is I felt like a lot of people suddenly felt

359
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 2: this need to escape and find wide open spaces again,

360
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 2: at least city folks. I was talking to somebody recently

361
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 2: and we were like, that was two years ago or

362
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 2: what that wasn't even two full years ago. That's crazy. Yeah,

363
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 2: they were like, what was it like for you? I

364
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 2: was like, well, I'm an optimist and I'm very calm.

365
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 2: So by April and May, people, besides the banana phone,

366
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 2: I felt like I was just getting calls daily from

367
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 2: people throughout my life. It was like an episode of

368
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 2: This is your Life for four months where people would

369
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 2: be like, hey man, it's me from college. Remember I

370
00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 2: was DJ for a little while. Now I'm freaking out.

371
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 2: And then I would always get down to like, yeah,

372
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 2: I just feel like I need to go, like into

373
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 2: the woods or something. I just need, Like I wish

374
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 2: I had a beach house. And suddenly everybody felt like

375
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 2: I want freedom, I want to be away from people.

376
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 2: And it was very much what we're saying about our

377
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 2: middle school and high school experience.

378
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 3: Where it was like you just got in your bike,

379
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 3: or you just got in.

380
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 2: Your car, or just spent you went on Friday night

381
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 2: and then you came home Sunday night, and between that time,

382
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 2: your parents are like, well, I hope Chris's parents feed

383
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 2: them twice a day.

384
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. I keep going back and forth in my head

385
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: about what it would have been like if I was

386
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: just alone. Do you know during that time, as opposed

387
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: to having a full family, which was presented its own

388
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: insanities of being trapped inside but.

389
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 3: Order you had a structured day, right, you had responsibilities? Right?

390
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: I had responsibilities in structured day? Like was was I

391
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: losing my mind? I was? But it was because there

392
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: was nowhere to go and take the kids, and the

393
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: kids were driving me crazy, and I just had fantasies

394
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: of like, if it was I was alone, I'd just

395
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: be camping this entire time.

396
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 3: That's it. That's it right there.

397
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 2: But it's the freedom we used to have, and now

398
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 2: it just feels watched. Yeah, I'm happy to take photos

399
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 2: with the ben animals after every show. Our Kansas City

400
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:29,479
Speaker 2: show and our Minneapolis show great successes. But then I

401
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 2: also realized, like, thanks to smartphones and everything, I don't

402
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 2: care if I ever have another photo of me taken

403
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 2: ever again for the rest of my life. I don't

404
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 2: care for me personally, Like if somebody's like, get in

405
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 2: the photo it's Thanksgiving, I'm like, absolutely, we're in a family.

406
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 2: But me personally, I don't care if another photo of

407
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 2: me is ever snapped until the day I die.

408
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: I The thing I think about photos a lot is

409
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: like I have all these digital photos that I took

410
00:19:55,320 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 1: between whatever nineteen ninety eight and two thousand and twelve,

411
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: and I have they're just gone. I have no idea

412
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: where they are. They're on some drive that I think

413
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: I probably lost at this point, and it just breaks

414
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: my heart. It's like like so many and so I

415
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 1: like and with my kids, I don't want to loose

416
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: because it's all just on this stupid phone.

417
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 3: You know.

418
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: And so it's like I've been trying to just make

419
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: books as much as possible.

420
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 3: Let's school like photo albums.

421
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, like you know, you can just print the books

422
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: and then you have to them and then the only

423
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: thing really that we're definitely gonna be able to look

424
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: at them at least, you know, because like in twenty

425
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: years when I want to look at these, is a

426
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: jpeg gonna be something people even know what it is,

427
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: or people just gonna laugh at me, like, get you

428
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 1: JPEGs out of here, old man.

429
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll be like we're on wangs. It's when you

430
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 3: can see all the photos you've ever taken instantaneously and

431
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 3: then you black out and get a bloody nose. Yeah,

432
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 3: it's gonna be that, you know.

433
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 2: I saw short film once that was a guy's job

434
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 2: was like families would give them hard drives and then

435
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 2: he would put them into class for him and then

436
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 2: he solved a crime or something. It was at a

437
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,239
Speaker 2: film festival years ago. And I do feel like that

438
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 2: is a great business in the future, to like, you

439
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 2: go here, here's all my hard drives. Please put all

440
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 2: my photos in chronological order and print them out into

441
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,360
Speaker 2: hard copies. Because back in the day when people would

442
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 2: go if there was a house fire, what you grab?

443
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 2: People would say? Photo albums? That was like something people

444
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 2: would say. Also, because TV's back then weighed two thousand pounds.

445
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: You can't grab a TV now because they're all bolted

446
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: to the fucking wall.

447
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 3: That's true, that is true.

448
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 2: But now I would grab my laptop and my passport,

449
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 2: like I'll figure the rest out. But it used to

450
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 2: be like, well, I grab the photo albums.

451
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I could quickly grab my passport.

452
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: I don't think I have a knowledge of I would

453
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: have to think about it for a while. It's not

454
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: like something like there's a fire, My passport is definitely

455
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: right here. Hm, who was it here?

456
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 2: Last?

457
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: Where was it that I died the fire?

458
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, he wasn't going anywhere. Okay, I got one for us.

459
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 2: Aaron Rabbi or Aaron Raby sent it in. Sorry, I

460
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 2: think it's a I think Aaron is a photographer. But Aaron,

461
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 2: I'm sorry if I'm saying your name wrong, I'm gonna

462
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 2: go with I'm gonna go with Rabbie.

463
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 3: This was in People.

464
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 2: Magazine, written by and she is good, Abigail Adams.

465
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: I love. I never really thought about the generality of

466
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: the title of People magazine. It definitely is like having

467
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: a magazine called Things. It's really it's a very general term.

468
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 2: Honestly, Things would be more interesting. Pregnant firefighter goes into

469
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 2: labor after car crash, helps another victim before giving birth.

470
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: Oh, I had chosen this one for today as well.

471
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: I'm so happy to this one.

472
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 2: But yeah, well, you know, women can do it all.

473
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 2: A pregnant Maryland firefighter did not let labor stop her

474
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,719
Speaker 2: from helping a person trapped in a car after they

475
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 2: were both involved in a serious car crash earlier this month.

476
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 2: Less than twenty four hours later, she gave birth to

477
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 2: her third child. Megan Warfield had just finished hosting a

478
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 2: memorial golf tournament honoring her late father in October when

479
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 2: she was involved in a significant car crash. According to Facebook,

480
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 2: people are still using it, including according to a Facebook

481
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 2: post from the Bowles Quarter Volunteer Fire, Rescue and Marine.

482
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 3: That is a mouthful, it is.

483
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: They couldn't just shorten that at any point.

484
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 2: I hope when they answered the nine to one one

485
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 2: call they do not have to say Bally's Quarters Volunteer

486
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 2: Fire and Rescue and Marine.

487
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 3: He's already dead.

488
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 2: The firefighter, a volunteer, was just a week or so

489
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 2: shy of her due date at the time. After the collision,

490
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 2: Warfield immediately exited her damaged vehicle and rushed to the

491
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 2: aid of the some trapped inside the other vehicle, which

492
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 2: had overturned. The crash caused the third year old mom

493
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 2: to begin her labor, but she ignored the pain to

494
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 2: take care of the victim.

495
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 3: Wow, I mean, give me a break. It's amazing, incredible.

496
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 2: I don't know quote, I don't know how I did

497
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 2: what I did because the cramping was so bad, Warfield

498
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 2: said on an October thirteenth appearance on NBC Morning Show.

499
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 2: I've just been running. I must have just been running

500
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 2: on adrenaline. Warfield, who also works at the Baltimore County

501
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,880

Speaker 2: Baltimore County Fire Department BCFD. Yeah, Ring, Ring, BCFD. He's alive. See,

504
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,520

505
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 2: keep the female victim calm until more help arrived. I

506
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 2: started to climb in there with her, but then I

507
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 2: was like, what are you doing. You're nine months pregnant,

508
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 2: she explained. She very calm, very with it.

509
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: Yeah.

510
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 2: I ended up holding on to her to keep her

511
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 2: in place because I wasn't sure he injuries at the time.

512
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 2: After emergency responders wrapped the scene, Warfield checked herself into

513
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 2: Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. According to ABC affiliate

514
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 2: wm R dash TV. Less than a day later, the

515
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 2: firefighter and her boyfriend, Joshua Doggerty, a docker dye, welcomed

516
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 2: a healthy baby girl named Charlotte.

517
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 3: Pretty name. It's a pretty name. Abigail.

518
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 2: Mom named Charlotte kid. Oh no, Abigail was a writer.

519
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 2: Sorry about that. Charlotte into the world. She's Warfield's third child.

520
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 2: Bally's Quarters Volunteer Fire Rescue and Marine called Warfield a

521
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 2: true public servant. Come on, guys, you can call her

522
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 2: a little bit more than a true public service.

523
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: It's almost an insult.

524
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 2: So it's no good deed should go unrecognized. We wanted

525
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 2: to highlight Megan's heroic and selfless actions. Congratulations Mama, Megan,

526
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 2: job well done, the department concluded. I mean, Banana the Week,

527
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 2: for sure, Banana the Week easily.

528
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: But calling her like what was it? A good public servant?

529
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 3: A true public service public.

530
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,479
Speaker 1: Servant is literally like being like someone does something amazing.

531
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: You're like, they are a good job person. They did

532
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: a good job. They are excellent at fulfilling the task

533
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: of their job.

534
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 2: That's right, you completed your task. Here is your food pellet.

535
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 2: It's not uncommon to see our volunteers on the scene,

536
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 2: but it is to see one that's been on administrative

537
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 2: duties and laying Oh, she's been laying in grass and oil,

538
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 2: trying to take care of somebody just weeks before her dutate.

539
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 3: That blew my mind. Blah blah blah.

540
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 2: Megan Warfield had been on dest duty in the week's

541
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 2: leading up to the crash and giving birth. I mean,

542
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 2: what a week, what a twenty four hours? Yeah, and

543
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 2: now she's already looking forward to returning to the field.

544
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 3: Quote.

545
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 2: I've been itching to get back out, she told today.

546
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 2: It's what I'm meant to do.

547
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

548
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 2: Megan Warfield and Little Charlotte Bananas of the week.

549
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: Yay, congratulations. I love that she's itching to get back

550
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: out there, because the first couple of months after giving

551
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: birth is a dark, dark time. Nobody talks about how

552
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: dark that time is, filled with stress, not sleeping. You

553
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: wanna doo doo doo doo doo doo. Dude doesn't feel

554
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 1: good at kid number three too, Kid feel bad for

555
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: not being real happy because you just had a baby.

556
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 2: That vasectomy couldn't come quick enough for your Kurtie b oh.

557
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 1: And it's such a stressful time.

558
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 2: When I was an RA in college my sophomore year,

559
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 2: you had to go about I guess it was probably

560
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,199
Speaker 2: a week early and do training, like you can't just

561
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 2: be responsible for a floor full of people. So I

562
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 2: was at UMass at Southwest, which is kind of the

563
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 2: most party friendly, wild area, a lot of freshmen. I

564
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 2: had all freshman dorm. I think of twenty nine boys.

565
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,719
Speaker 2: It was either twenty six or twenty nine boys. And

566
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 2: so the week leading up to it, you meet the

567
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 2: other ras that are going to be in your building.

568
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: You do you do, So you had a whole the

569
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: building was all boys or was it go floor by

570
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: floor for you?

571
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 3: It was floor by floor.

572
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 2: In Patterson, I was in the pat maccluster Patterson mckimmey,

573
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 2: but my freshman year was door to door, so next

574
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 2: door to me, or it was Colleen who spent the

575
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 2: night and told me her and wet the bed and

576
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 2: told me her boyfriend, Johnny Knuckles was a gangster, so

577
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 2: she lived next door. But then Pat Mac was Florida

578
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 2: floor and I was the first floor RA all boys,

579
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 2: and so in that that week, every dorm has like

580
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 2: ten or twelve ras in training and then it's completely empty.

581
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 2: Besides that, So the idea is you're supposed to bond,

582
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 2: but you also have to make billboards for your floor,

583
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 2: You have to hang fire safety stuff, you have to

584
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 2: like you learn basic mental health counseling, when to call

585
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 2: the police when somebody's suicidal.

586
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 3: All that really.

587
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 2: Good training, and I actually think it was like incredibly

588
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 2: well organized and done. So the last day of it, Friday,

589
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 2: was fire safety training, and what they did was they

590
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 2: took all the ra in either the building or the

591
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 2: cluster mine was two buildings to the center of campus,

592
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 2: right in the student union, where they had the most

593
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 2: fired up fireman I've ever seen, like an SNL sketch,

594
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 2: like a Mad TV character. The guy was like, welcome,

595
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 2: We're gonna teach you how to put up fires, and

596
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 2: like just going so intense and like kind of couldn't

597
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 2: stand still.

598
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 3: And they had a mock half dorm room, like a

599
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 3: fake dorm.

600
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 2: Room, and then he would walk you through, Hey, here's

601
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 2: some things to watch out your ras. Incense. Incense, can

602
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 2: you know can catch a sheet on fire?

603
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 3: Are kids?

604
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 2: A lot of college kids smoke out the windows. A

605
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 2: lot of college kids put candles in liquor bottles, all

606
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 2: that crap. And then the final stop on this, like

607
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 2: I don't know, forty five minute training session outside was

608
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 2: how to use a fire extinguisher, which if you've never done.

609
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 3: It, it is so fun. It is so fun.

610
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,239
Speaker 2: But I had never done it, so like a lot

611
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 2: of people. So there were those big silver ones with

612
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 2: the little black rubber two with the little nozzle on

613
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 2: the front. It's a chemical powder thing. So there was

614
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 2: this dude, this other ra that was in my building.

615
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 2: Barely spoke the entire time, like very pale, to the

616
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 2: point where you wonder if he'd ever been outside. Wore

617
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 2: all black clothing all the time. Was probably nineteen or twenty,

618
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 2: but looked about forty five. His name was Sorein. He

619
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 2: was very odd. He was a very odd man, and

620
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 2: he was going to be responsible for a floor of

621
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 2: freshman boys already a great combination. So this peppy fireman

622
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 2: just plucks him out. There's twenty five of us standing there,

623
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 2: and he goes, what about you, can you help me out?

624
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,480

00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 2: a week, and this guy just thought it was gonna

646
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:47,959

647
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:52,360

652
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 2: puts it down, and just walks right back in. Well,

653
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 2: the best part is they let him be an ra

654
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 2: after that.

655
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 3: They he had already gone through a week of training.

656
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 2: But after a good ten seconds of sprague, a fire

657
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 2: instructor was, I don't know what chemicals are in that thing.

658
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 3: Maybe they're dangerous to spread. I'm sure you're not supposed

659
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 3: to breathe.

660
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: That shit is not supposed to breathe. I have breathed.

661
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: I have unfortunately breathed it in too many times.

662
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 3: I am crying.

663
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: He's just so funny, dude.

664
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 2: He just turned the smallest turn and just hosts this

665
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 2: guy down. I guess he didn't like his energy level or.

666
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: I love it so funny. And it was the one

667
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: was it the one where it was just like it

668
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: was almost like a powder that shoots out and it's

669
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: kind of yellowish full powder.

670
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 2: It looked like a snowstorm. This guy got antiqued in

671
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 2: a way. I mean, it was like, we are done

672
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,080

00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:01,719

783
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: called I agree, fat bears and then they're just being

784

Speaker 3: Here it is. Well, that is what it is.

795
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: There's nothing much more to it, but here is the

796
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: it quote. This was an Instagram post that they posted.

797
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,959
Speaker 1: It appears someone has decided to spam the fat Bear

798
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: Week poll, but fortunately it is easy for us to

799
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: tell which votes are fraudulent, tweeted cat my National Park

800
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: on Sunday.

801
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 3: Oh good.

802
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: Since that minor hiccup, it's been smooth sailing for the

803
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: eighth annual Fat Beer We can extravagance it that celebrates

804
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:00,880

805
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: Parks eight million acre reserve. And then yeah, so someone

806
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: is trying to cheat? Is there nothing sacred world? Fat

807
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:18,280
Speaker 1: bear wee isn't even free from scandal, free from trying

808
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: to influence who wins. And I wonder who it was

809
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: for That's what they don't say. I would love to

810
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 1: know which bear had a hacker and why and why

811
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: it's that bear is what it is?

812
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that bear, maybe that bears the secret to

813
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 2: unlocking a much bigger conspiracy that goes all the way

814
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 2: to the top, all the way to the bottom.

815
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: Wow, maybe he has access to a laptop he's convinced.

816
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 1: And then on the other end of the spectrum. This

817
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: was an article sent in by Ryan Nicole. Thank you Bryan.

818
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: This is in the Washington Post, written by Maria Luisa Powell.

819
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: It's very good, best and the booze And this is

820
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 1: fat parrot ineligible for Bird of the Year. Become on

821
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: it keeps winning.

822
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 4: Uh.

823
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: The cockapoo has been eliminated from the competition. Here are

824
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: some other birds that could clinch the win this year.

825
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 3: Cool good.

826
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 1: The we first covered this, I think in twenty twenty

827
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: when we first.

828
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 3: Started yea twenty Yeah.

829
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the cocka po cocka po cockapoo won and

830
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 1: it is adorable and it's a it's a fat bird

831
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: can't fly. It also tends to eat berries that have

832
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: rotted and get drunk. So I believe that the headline

833
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: for us was fat drunk bear, fat drunk bird wins

834
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: the best Bird of the Year again.

835
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's our show's mascot.

836
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: Honestly, honestly, I'm pretty excited for it. Yeah, okay, yeah,

837
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 1: so the So there's bad news for those hoping to

838
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 1: crown yet again. The cockapoo is new NEWSS Bird of

839
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: the Year. Flightless Bird, also known as the world's fattest parrot,

840
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: isn't this year. The reason came down to its overshadowing cuteness,

841
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: said Ellen. Riker is a spokesperson for Forest and Bird,

842
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: which organizes the annual competition. You know what, anybody can

843
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: have a competition.

844
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 3: Do you agree?

845
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter you just put a website up. You

846
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: got a competition. People can write stories about you if

847
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 1: you want. If you've got an idea and you live

848
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 1: in a small town, go to squarespace, make yourself a

849
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: website and have a competition. Because yeah, this is just

850
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 1: made up, this completely made up. It's the best bird

851
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: of the year and just somebody named forrest and bird

852
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,280
Speaker 1: does it? Here go The kackapoo has already won twice,

853
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: some bird rikers told The Washington Post. And while he's

854
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: definitely a fan favorite, we want to make sure that

855
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 1: we're able to give attention to other birds that tend

856
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 1: to get overlooked. So no, we're going to get all

857
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:58,919
Speaker 1: these worst birds of the year.

858
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 3: And yeah, and what are we Let's keep the standards high.

859
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,320
Speaker 3: People are voting for this fat drunk bird.

860
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 1: I can't believe they're disbarring this fat drunk bird. It

861
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,399
Speaker 1: will be a brief hiatus, though not a complete barring. Okay,

862
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: brief hiatus.

863
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 3: And we're back.

864
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: Think of it as a term limit of sorts. Forest

865
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 1: and Bird, a New Zealand based conserve conservation organization, has

866
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: been running Bird of the Air competition since two thousand

867
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 1: and five, is to raise awareness for native New Zealand

868
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,879
Speaker 1: bird species that may be threatened with extinction. All right,

869
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 1: so I'm back on. Like in Forest and Bird, anyone

870
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 1: around the world's able to participate by casting online votes

871
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 1: for their top five birds.

872
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 3: Okay, In the.

873
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 1: Past seventeen years, though, it's turned into a full blown

874
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: electoral race, with people signing up as campaign managers for

875
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 1: each bird and masterminding creative ways to get votes. In

876
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: recent years, for example, campaign managers have strutted down the

877
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 1: streets in penguin costumes or urged their tender matches to

878
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: vote for their favorite bird.

879
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 3: I love this, Yeah, me too. This is great.

880
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:03,240
Speaker 1: This is a fan them I could easily get behind absolutely,

881
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 1: as we know. I want to rename bananas, birds, buttholes, birds, bees,

882
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: and buttholes. Is that it is it? Birds, bes and buttholes.

883
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 1: Though it was so good, birds, but bananas, birds and buttholes.

884
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: Maybe no, sounds good to me, Birds, buttholes, bananas. I

885
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 1: don't know. I can't remember now, I can't remember.

886
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 3: The shirt that birds, buttholes bananas is good.

887
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: Yeah it's pretty good.

888
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 2: Uh, three great tastes that go great together. But so,

889
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,439
Speaker 2: this is what's so good. The Internet can be such

890
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 2: a dismal, horrible, doom inducing place, but this kind of thing,

891
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 2: when people rally behind dumb ideas and take it to

892
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 2: the furthest extreme is the best. This is people getting

893
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:49,720
Speaker 2: excited about something that is not exciting. This is uh,

894
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,720
Speaker 2: this is wonderful. We support these people all the way.

895
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: And I want to propose to forest and bird that

896
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: here's that. It's easy going in the future, you can

897
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 1: win it. Everyone last year can't win the next year.

898
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: But then they're eligible off the year. Yes, I have

899
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 1: to take one year off.

900
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 3: That's so easy.

901
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 1: It's so easy. Then we get a little bit of

902
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 1: action for the penguins or whoever is the second coold,

903
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: because we know what's the cools bird. But also it's

904
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: nice to know it, isn't it nice to to definitively

905
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:23,319
Speaker 1: know mm hmm after seventeen years there's one bird that

906
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: is definitely the best bird in your celand.

907
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 2: That's correct, fair and and that's good. It's it's the

908
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 2: Hinds ketchup of birds. It is unbeatable. Hunts up your butt.

909
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 2: If a restaurant makes ketchup, I will pass give me

910
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 2: the hinds baby.

911
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 1: Look, restaurants, you, what do you do? You put out

912
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 1: a homemade ketchup like that's something anybody.

913
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 3: Asked you for, never never wants.

914
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 1: There's there's a there's a reason, there's a reason that

915
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,760
Speaker 1: everybody has hindes that they nailed. It is done. Shut

916
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: it down. I don't want your squishy, disgusting homemade tomato sauce.

917
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 2: Oh it's smoky. Guess what it's gross. I want nine

918
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:13,879
Speaker 2: fifty seven ketchup. I'll tap it on the little fifty seven. Yeah,

919
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,439
Speaker 2: I'll bring up that fifty seven was for fifty seven

920
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 2: varieties of pickles. It's I'll play spin the bottle with

921
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:22,479
Speaker 2: some of my adult friends later.

922
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: If the thing is, if you don't have a bottle

923
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: of Hinds fifty seven in your table, I don't got

924
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,800
Speaker 1: nothing to talk about at the table. I'll just stare

925
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: at the floor.

926
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 3: All right. I'll have my car. I'll have my meal

927
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:37,800
Speaker 3: in the car.

928
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 1: I also just the last thing on the birds is

929
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:46,760
Speaker 1: that in addition to being fat, in addition to getting drunk,

930
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: it will get so drunk that it will fall out

931
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 1: of trees off perfect and perfect bird them on the ground. Yeah,

932

Speaker 2: for happy We're asking people, we're hiring life coaches. This bird.

936
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 2: These birds just eat the wrong thing to the point

937
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 2: of fully being drunk, fall out of a tree, and

938
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 2: then get voted number one. Then a different species, recognizes

939
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 2: how great they are and goes number one. Something it

940
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 2: will never understand.

941
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: Oh, for years the cockapoo is blaming itself and why

942
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: can't I get my life together and then realize it's

943
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 1: been doing it right the whole time.

944
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:36,640

Speaker 2: and sellingum, this is an artist installation. Londoners have been

966
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 2: left completely baffled as cans of urine are being sold

967
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 2: for five hundred pounds outside Tate Modern. British artist Gavin

968
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:57,959
Speaker 2: Turk is behind the canned urine. He began selling aluminum

969
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 2: cans or aluminium as they say over there, of his

970
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 2: own urine or as they say over there, no idea

00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,760
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty one for three hundred and thirty pounds,

972
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 2: the cost equivalent of the weight of silver. Okay, so

973
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:17,760
Speaker 2: that's something. A picture So a picture of a fridge

974
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 2: which is on this website of canned urn was posted

975
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 2: on Reddit with the caption you can now buy a

976
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 2: can of urn for five hundred pounds next to take

977
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 2: Modern Londoners found the sale both hilarious and confusing. One

978
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:31,399
Speaker 2: wrote it's all fun in games until confused tourus buy one,

979
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 2: buys one and starts drinking it. Another said that just

980
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 2: about sums up modern art well. When to ask do

981
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 2: you think do you drink it? What's up with this?

982
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,879
Speaker 2: What do other people do? And many people just thought

983
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:46,760
Speaker 2: it was a joke. Five hundred pounds, that's really taking

984
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 2: the piss.

985
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 1: Oh boy, there it is. Here's my question. Are we

986
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: talking like a pepsi can? Are we talking like? Yes,

987
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: a can that you need a can opener on.

988
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 2: It looks like a fresca and it's in a like

989
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 2: a four or five tiered freeze refrigerator like you would see,

990
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:04,360
Speaker 2: kind of a narrow one that you might see in

991
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 2: a convenience store. And they're packed in there like they've

992
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:10,359
Speaker 2: been stocked by a stock boy.

993
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 3: One Reddit user.

994
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:18,360
Speaker 2: Suggested that the cans of urine might be a worthwhile investment.

995
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 2: They said, I know it seems like nonsense, and it is,

996
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 2: but if you go and buy a can, you will

997
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 2: almost definitely make money on this if you auction it

998
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 2: in a year or two. You know what, maybe maybe

999
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 2: that's true. The artists reportedly spent two years collecting his

1000
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 2: urine and and designed the aluminium can that reads artists

1001
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 2: piss in thirty one's different in thirty one different languages.

1002
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 2: It's sealed with a foil cover and has the artist

1003
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:49,480
Speaker 2: handwritten signature at the top. According to art Daily dot com,

1004
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 2: the cans are a limited edition, with only one, three

1005
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:55,840
Speaker 2: and thirty mili liter cans available to buy.

1006
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 3: Interesting huh.

1007
00:50:57,200 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 2: So, Gavin the artist said, I was provoked to do

1008
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:04,880
Speaker 2: it now as it's sixty years since Menzoni canned his

1009
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:09,239
Speaker 2: own shit, speaking of the Italian artist Piero Manzoni, who

1010
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:12,839
Speaker 2: canned his own feces in nineteen sixty one and sold

1011
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 2: it for the price equivalent of its weight in gold.

1012
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 2: So what we're saying is Gavin is paying homage but

1013
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:23,320
Speaker 2: also a copycat. But I think you know it's Monerni.

1014
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 2: He's making a bigger point. So I guess Londoners, if

1015
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 2: you have the time and you have whatever, I think

1016
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 2: the dollars beating the pound right now, if you have

1017
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:34,800
Speaker 2: five hundred bucks, go by yourself a can of artists

1018
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 2: yearn and put it on the mantle.

1019
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:38,840
Speaker 3: It's something for the kids to talk about.

1020
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:45,280
Speaker 1: I remember I did a first pilot I ever wrote

1021
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: was a kid's prank show, OK, that I made for Nogging.

1022
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:54,399
Speaker 1: I picked the boy sold and I was like, we're

1023
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: making a kid's TV show. Holy cow. And I was

1024
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 1: maybe twenty three twenty four or.

1025
00:51:58,680 --> 00:51:59,959
Speaker 3: Something like that, Wow man.

1026
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 1: And and the whole show was about peer pressure and

1027
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 1: like clicks and stuff like that and fitting in. And

1028
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:09,720
Speaker 1: it was for like tweens. And one of the things

1029
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 1: we did was we had like drinks. There weren't cans,

1030
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:18,400
Speaker 1: they're actually bottles and they were like sealing everything, but

1031
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 1: we just put like, you know, it was like this

1032
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:25,840
Speaker 1: yellowish liquid inside and they said you're in, like y

1033
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 1: o U apostrophe r e in like be part of it.

1034
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 2: You're in.

1035
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.

1036
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:32,759
Speaker 1: So like so then we had like these like kid

1037
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 1: actors who were like fourteen fifteen sixteen, like in Washington

1038
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 1: Square Park, just trying to be like, hey, guys, you

1039
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:40,040
Speaker 1: want to come, you want to be part of the crew,

1040
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:43,439
Speaker 1: Like here, here's free sample, and then they would show

1041
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:45,279
Speaker 1: it to them what it was called, and like, you know,

1042
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:47,359
Speaker 1: that was the whole like bit of like kids trying

1043
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 1: to get people to drink urine.

1044
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:52,319
Speaker 2: The lesson is you start everybody starts comedy at the

1045
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 2: same level, and then you get better and then you

1046
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 2: get better. But at the time that was very subversive

1047
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:01,840
Speaker 2: and funny.

1048
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:05,839
Speaker 1: Anyway, funny I did. What I'm saying is I did

1049
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 1: what this artist did, and I did not get five

1050
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:09,839
Speaker 1: hundred dollars a bottle for it.

1051
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 2: Noggin, good old Noggin. Nogin's still around. But did you

1052
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 2: see Magnolia Network is now on HBO Max.

1053
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:19,360
Speaker 1: Oh I did not. I love Magnolia Network.

1054
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:20,480

Speaker 3: See.

1058
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 1: The thing is about Magnolia and about HGTV is it's

1059
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 1: never something I would go and be like, I'm going

1060
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 1: to watch this show specifically. Of course, it has to

1061
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 1: be that you're trapped and it's your best option, and

1062
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:43,919
Speaker 1: then you're like into it because it's like it's being

1063
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 1: forced on you. This is the only thing to watch

1064
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:48,920
Speaker 1: on like a plane. And then I really enjoy it,

1065
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:50,319
Speaker 1: but I don't know if I would go and watch it,

1066
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:50,879
Speaker 1: but well.

1067
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 3: People leave it on all day, right.

1068
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 2: It's I'm sure they have a word for it in

1069
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 2: the reality nonscripted TV world, but it is like wallpaper

1070
00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:59,799
Speaker 2: where you put it on. And then that's why the

1071
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 2: kind of crossover show to show and cooking shows and

1072
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:04,759
Speaker 2: all those things, because then you're like which one is

1073
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 2: this and you're like, this is the one where they

1074
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:09,280
Speaker 2: rip down wallpaper and you're like, I love this one.

1075
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:13,840
Speaker 2: I hate wallpaper. I hate wallpaper. We should just go

1076
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:15,839
Speaker 2: pitch it to Magnoia'll be like, it's a show where

1077
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:18,320
Speaker 2: we just say we hate wallpaper, we rip it down

1078
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 2: and we paint the walls and I'm like, okay, can

00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:49,880
Speaker 1: and he's like, they're not solo episodes, buddy, they're duets.
