00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: Who Chuck? Or me? Who was that? Aretha Franklin one

12
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:56,639
Speaker 1: of her late career pop um songs. She also did

13
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,639
Speaker 1: the Freeway of Love, so that's interesting. She took up

14
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: like a you know, the highway theme later in her career.

15
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: Although who zuiming? Who had nothing to do with Auto Bond?

16
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: Did it? Uh? No? No? I think I think you

17
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: could make a case they had to do with sc

18
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: X Maybe interesting. Didn't every song in the eighties have

19
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: to do with that or cocaine? Get Out of My Dreams,

20
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: Get into My Car? What do you think the car

00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: is of course, get in the fast lane, baby. Yeah. Yeah,

22
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: see this is already better than you thought it was

23
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: gonna be. Let's begin the auto bon Chuck Fodd and

24
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: Fodd and Botten on the at bond. So we'll get

25
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: to that in a second. Does a matter of fact,

26
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: let's get to it now. Who is that Chuck? That's

27
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: craft work or craft work? Craft work? They you know,

28
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: they're a German. I actually saw them at the Coachella Festival,

29
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: and I'm not a fan, so I wasn't that big

30
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: of a deal to me. I understand their place. It's

31
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: like the biggest build their own instruments. No, trust me.

32
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: They were so ahead of their time they had to

33
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: build their own instrument. The early seventies they were doing

34
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: techno music. But yeah, I'm just not a fan of

35
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: that kind of music, so I didn't dig it. But

36
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: I get it. They're great guys. They seemed like it.

37
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: Nice dudes. And they had a song called Autobon Yeah,

38
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: and which was eight in The Big Lebowski. Oh yeah,

39
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: by the Nihilists. Now well they were Nihilists, but they

40
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: were the name of the band in The Big Lebowski

41
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: was Autobon. The name of their album was naggle Beet,

42
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: which I looked up today. That is the perion perionum,

43
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 1: which is the tissue surrounding the fingernail and toe nail.

44
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: And that was the name of their album. Which eight

45
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: craft Works album cover The Man Machine. Oh there's some

46
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 1: kid whose head just exploded. Yeah, exactly. Um. Also, kraft

47
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: Work has a play since the Simpsons Pantheon. They made

48
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: an appear. It's verbally uh in the Fighting Hellfish episode,

49
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 1: remember the the German air shows up to claim the

50
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: artwork and he tells the farm boys to get a room.

51
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: He's tells everybody to hurry up because he has to

52
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: go see Kroft. Stop. We should just end it, wrap

53
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: it up right here, all right, thank you everybody, Um Chuck,

54
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: let's begin all Uh. You know my brother Bill, I

55
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: don't know if you've ever met him or not. Okay,

56
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: Well Bill um got into Porsches for a little while

57
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: and he got himself a brand new nine eleven Carrera

58
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: set in like the late nineties. It was sweet. It

59
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: was silver. The moment it hit fifty five, a spoiler

60
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: automatically came up. It was just nice, sweet cars and

61
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: it had like a little sticker on the front and

62
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: it said it had like a guy's signature on it,

63
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: and it was like a pen in hand signature. It's

64
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: a real thing, um And basically it was like I've

65
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: I've driven this car and this thing is a okay.

66
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,839
Speaker 1: And he said, you see that that's a German race

67
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: car driver's signature. This car had like fifteen miles on

68
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: it when I got it, because they've taken it out

69
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: on the auto bonn they do that to every single one.

70
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: So I did a little research. This is the late

71
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: nineties and from six to today, I thought that Porsche

72
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: did that with every car. Doing a little research, I

73
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 1: figured out that that's not the case. Bill may have

74
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: been mistaken. It's a myth, or he could have just

75
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: gotten lucky and just happened to get the car that somebody,

76
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: uh test drove on the auto bon I think I've

77
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: heard that before, actually, that Porsche does every single one

78
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: or yeah, or that they they test, you know, test

79
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: drive their fleet. Yeah, maybe not all of them. But

80
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: I didn't see any evidence whatsoever that they do anything.

81
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: But they do use the auto bon this is the

82
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: cool part to road test like new models. Or they'll say, hey,

83
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: you're you're a auto journalist. Why don't you come on

84
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: over to Germany and drive this thing? And they use

85
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: would be like us taking a car out on I

86
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: eighty five or seventy five or probably more appropriately to

87
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: eight five and just going as fast as we can

88
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: and then going home and writing about it. I just

89
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: read an article, like you said, the auto writers. It

90
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: was car and Driver. I think some dude got a

91
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: Lamborghini Aventa door and drove and wrote an article about

92
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: driving two miles an hour on there's a stretch outside

93
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: of Garmish. Oh yes, garmisht miles of of awesome roadway

94
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: and it's not like flattened straight, it's curvy and mountainous

95
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: and apparently that's like one of the great places to

96
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: go drive fast. Yes, okay, well look for stuff you

97
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: should know quiz in the future with the answer of Garmish. Yeah,

98
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: all right, I've been I've been coming up with questions

99
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: in my head. I can write these. Well yeah, okay, no,

100
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm going to telepathically beam the quiz to

101
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: everybody who listens to be should I was writing those

102
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: quizzes for a while. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. About that.

103
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: I'm a little testy about this one. I'm not a

104
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: car guy. You've seen my car. I'm not a car

105
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: guy either. So I drove a truck, that's true. So

106
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: are you a truck guy? No, I mean it's just handy.

107
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: You drive really fast though, and you're old, old beater. Yeah,

108
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: so I thought you might appreciate this. Uh yeah, No,

109
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: I'm not like a break a hundred miles an hour

110
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: kind of guy at all. You're just a break eight

111
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: within neighborhoods of Atlanta. No. I I've slowed down quite

112
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: a bit in my old age in residential areas. But yeah, no,

113
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: I still like to get from point A to point

114
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: But like being on the Highway, to me, is not

115
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: a lug street. It's not like a great experience. It's like, Okay,

116
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: now I can get there as fast as I possibly can. Sure,

117
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: because that's like an interruption of life, having to drive

118
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: from one place to know, teleportation, to me would be

119
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: one of the greatest inventions of all time. I could

120
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: dig that. Yeah. So, uh, you mentioned the myth that

121
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: Porsche does that. There's another myth was that Adolf Hitler

122
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: invented the auto bon Yeah, it's not really true. No,

123
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: he gets a lot of credit for that. And oh,

124
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: by the way, we should say to anybody who isn't

125
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: from Germany or America or any other country in the world,

126
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: if you don't know what the auto bon is, it

127
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: is the German UM federal highway system, the boonts auto

128
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: bon right, bunds thanks UM. That means in English federal highway,

129
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: motor federal motorway, right, that's yeah, And bond means track,

130
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: so federal motor track. Okay, strictly translated um and so yeah,

131
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: Adolf Hitler gets the the lion's share of the credit

132
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,119
Speaker 1: as the father of the auto bon, but it's it's

133
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: not correct right now. I mean, the rise of the

134
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: Nazi war machine definitely had a lot to do with

135
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: the rise of the auto bon and the how extensive

136
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: it became. But it's began construction in n and I

137
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: think the first stretch between Colne, Cologne and Bono. Yeah,

138
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: but he apparently also gets credit as like the father

139
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: of the highway system in general. Uh, you know, the

140
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: U S highway system is UM is modeled after the Autobahn.

141
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: Most highway most federal interstate systems are UM and Hitler

142
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: gets the credit, but really, if you go back even

143
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: further to I think UM nineteen, there was this um

144
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: high this experimental highway called the avas A v U

145
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: S Highway in Berlin, right, so that was like arguably

146
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: the world's first highway because you know, Germans were the

147
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 1: world's first auto manufacturers, so they're the first ones to

148
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: need a highway and they do it right still. And

149
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: then also there is the Auto Strata in Italy that

150
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: was built um in the twenties that linked Milan to

151
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: the lakes in northern Italy. So Hitler may have been inspired,

152
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: um to to get this plan out the door, but

153
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: he didn't even come up with the plan. There was

154
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: another guy who was the pr head for the Berlin

155
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: I think it was Berlin or maybe just Germany as

156
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: a whole, the German Chamber of Commerce, and he coined

157
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 1: the term auto bonn in like, and the German Chamber

158
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: of Commerce came up with this plan for this whole thing, um,

159
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: and then the Nazis stole it, so you had another

160
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: reason to hate the Nazis. That's if we needed anymore. Yeah,

161
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: uh so that is true, Josh. They um the initial

162
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: first sections from Frankfurt to Darmstadt was very straight and

163
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 1: they did test Grand Prix racing cars way back when

164
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: on the stretch of road. Yea, that is true because

165
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: one dude died. Barrent Rosemeyer died in nineteen thirty eight

166
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: after setting the very brief record to sixty eight point

167
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: four three two. His little buddy Rudolphila, that's miles per hour.

168
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: Right after that, Rudolph Carraciola jumped in his car and

169
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: went to sixty eight point eight and then Burnt said,

170
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: oh yeah, let me try that again, and he got

171
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: in and he died. Yeah. His car lifted off the ground,

172
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: he got caught a cross wind and he was killed. Um.

173
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: What's interesting is those two speeds you just mentioned are

174
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: still the fastest speeds ever clocked down the Auto Bonn

175
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: in these old cars. Yeah, in one day. Um. And

176
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: the first guy, Burnt Rosemeyer, he was driving an out

177
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 1: of Auto Union V sixteen, which V sixteen Yeah, Um,

178
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: he in Auto Union eventually became Audi and then um Caracciola,

179
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: he was driving a Mercedes A V twelve Mercedes W

180
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: one and he'd beat he'd beat Rosemeyer by like four

181
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: hundreds of a second or four tenths of a second.

182
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: Did you see the scars. I mean they look sort

183
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: of like smaller versions of Chitty Chitty Bank Bank, Yeah,

184
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: kind of, and they're going two hundred and sixty miles

185
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: an hour. They look like old timey race cars driven

186
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: by like old timey race car drivers who died. The

187
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: guy died that day. That weird, it's weirdly, it's weirdly sad.

188
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: So um Hitler again, um, father of the auto bonn

189
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: in some respect, he definitely Um, he took road building

190
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: to new heights or two new extremes. Um. Apparently you

191
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: know the Cologne Bond stretch from ninety two, that was

192
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: the first stretch of highway in Germany, supposedly the first

193
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: real one. UM. Six years later, under Nazi rule, UM,

194
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: eighteen hundred and sixty miles of roadway had been completed.

195
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: So they were like roadmaking machines. Well they were, and

196
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: that kind of well, he didn't like backfire. But it

197
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: went into disrepair in a lot of places after the

198
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: war because the German citizens weren't in such great shape

199
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: financially after the war. No, and they didn't even get

200
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: used during the war, which is the whole reason Hitler

201
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: was building and was for military transport. But a lot

202
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: of the roads were like two steep, two mountainous, so

203
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: they didn't use them. So they fell in disrepair and

204
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: it took a long time. You know, some points were

205
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 1: even impassable, and it took a long time before they

206
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: really got on a campaign to reconstruct them and build

207
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: them back up to the Great Road. Yes, great road.

208
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: That's uh, that's the road. This is our second Holy boy,

209
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: that's shameful. We both just realized that at the same

210
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: exact podcasts on the Road. Okay, I think this will

211
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: be the last. Um, yeah, chuck it. It wasn't until

212
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: the nineties, after East Germany and West Germany got back together, um,

213
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: that the autobon really started to take the take the

214
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: legendary form. I think that that we have now that

215
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: we have of it now, which is now see I

216
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: got the fourth largest behind America, China and India. Oh

217
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 1: is that right? But it says the third. But I'm

218
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: not sure which one is more recent or or it.

219
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: Maybe there may have to do with how to how

220
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: to do with how Indy accounts the road. They count

221
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: it all twice. Well, if it's like a major expressway

222
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: or what because India's is way bigger than any of them,

223
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: I think, but that they might Germans might say like no, no, no,

224
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: we're talking highways only. Um well look look how about

225
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: some stats man, it's it's your time to shine. How

226
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: big is this thing? Uh? I have as of two

227
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: thousand ten, this pretty recent well thousand, eight hundred and

228
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: thirteen clicks? Wow? Really yeah, that's the kilometers. Okay, it's

229
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: actually decreased in size then, because this article has it

230
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: as twelve thou d kios. But when was that? Maybe

231
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: that's newer or else it's shrinking and might be actually

232
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: it's shrinking and it's age. It's it's got sarcopenia. And

233
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: we should say for our American friends, that's eight thousand

234
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: miles of right roadway. Very nice. There'll be more stats

235
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: scatter amount okaysisting exciting. What's another myth? Josh, you can

236
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: just drive as fast as you want on this thing

237
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: all over the place? Right? Well, um, no you you can't.

238
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: You can. But the Germans are very sensible people. They're

239
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: very efficient. Uh, they're very um really as sensible is

240
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: a really good word to describe the German people. What

241
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: might even say rigid, you could say that, UM, and

242
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: they are well aware that you should not be driving

243
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: unfettered speed limit wise through congested areas, like through a

244
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: city or something like that. So in a lot of

245
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: parts of the Audubon you're going to find speed limits

246
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: which are called tempo limits UM in German tempo limits

247
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: tempo limits that which is of course one word. Yeah.

248
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: So congested areas, areas where like the the terrain is

249
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: really rough um during certain types of weather. Uh. There's

250
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: a lot of UM factors that go into it, but

251
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: it's not unlimited. For about three quarters of the eight

252
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: thousand miles you'll find speed limits. But then there's about

253
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: two thousand miles of autobon, about a quarter of the

254
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: whole thing, where there really isn't any speed limit. Not bad.

255
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: You can drive as fast as you want, but there

256
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: is a suggested uh speed limit of UM. I believe

257
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty kilometers per hour, which is eighty

258
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: miles an hour, But that's suggested. Nobody's gonna pull you

259
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: over for that. Uh. There is a minimum speed limit

260
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: of thirty seven miles per hour, which is about sixty

261
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: kilometers per hour, and that just keeps the riff raff

262
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: off the road that will get blown away, including mopeds

263
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, and well horses, horses which were

264
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: banned outright from the beginning German highways early on that

265
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: they wanted this thing to cook, or at least it

266
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: seems like. But even if it is unlimited, they still can.

267
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: You can still get a fine if you're driving too

268
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: fast for like weather conditions. You can also, I mean,

269
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: if you're going to pass um an autobon cop which

270
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: are called the auto bon politze. Again one long wordlitz,

271
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: you you don't want to taunt him, especially if you're

272
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: holding like a big mac. Yeah, because the Germans consider

273
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: um driving while eating or drinking a distracted drivers state,

274
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: and they will pull you over in a heartbeat and

275
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: find you, and they do it routinely. Yeah. Can I

276
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: just go ahead and take my hat off to the

277
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: German people for their sensible and common sense rules when

278
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: it comes to driving, Sure, chuck, because that is one

279
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: All of these rules to me should be worldwide because

280
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: they just make sense. For instance, the two second rule.

281
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: If you don't follow the two second rule, which means

282
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: you give yourself two seconds worth of stopping time for

283
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: the car in front of you. Then you can get

284
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,719
Speaker 1: a ticket and that's suspended license. Yeah, we should explain

285
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: that to our younger listeners, maybe ones who don't drive yet. Uh.

286
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: Say you're following a car and a car passes a

287
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: street lamp, right, Uh, if you should be able to

288
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: count off two seconds before you pass that street lamp.

289
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: That means there's two seconds of space between two seconds

290
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 1: of reaction time between you and the car in front

291
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: of you. That's the two second rule. Yeah, that's a

292
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: great way to do it. Nice suggestion. Another rule, Josh,

293
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: which should be adhered here in the United States, travel

294
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: fast in the left lane only pass on the right only.

295
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 1: It just makes sense. Well, so apparently the Germans are

296
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: extremely well instructed in the art of passing and respecting

297
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: the passing lane. So, um, I've met so many people

298
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: on the highway that I really genuinely wanted to take

299
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: the lives of you've met them. I met him by

300
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: making eye contact, really angry, vicious eye contact, waiting at them. Um, yeah,

301
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: on the road because they just not only won't get over,

302
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: they maybe slow down a little bit when you try

303
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: to pass them in the in the left lane and

304
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: they're going too slow. Apparently the Germans do not have

305
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: this problem. If you are not getting over, if you're

306
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: in the left lane and you don't get over for

307
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: a faster driver, you can be fined because they consider

308
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 1: that coercion. You were coercing a driver who drives faster

309
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: than you to drive slower, and that is messed up.

310
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: And not only that, but if you're going a hundred

311
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: and twenty miles an hour in that left lane and

312
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: your Mercedes and going through behind you is in his

313
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: force and he wants to go one ninety, you gotta

314
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: get over because you're the slower driver. And also whether

315
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: whether it's you orgoon turn the left lane, you're not

316
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: supposed to be in there unless you're passing. The right

317
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: lanes are for traveling, the left lane is for passing,

318
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 1: and you don't drive in the left lane and you

319
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: can get a fine for that. Um. You're you're allowed

320
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: to flash your lights and honk your horn at somebody

321
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 1: who's going slower to basically say, hey, I don't want

322
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: to use up my brakes. Get over. If they don't

323
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: get over, they can get a ticket if you UM,

324
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: if you do it excessively, supposedly, that's coercient as well,

325
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: so you can both get a ticket if you find

326
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 1: a grumpy auto pullets. That's right, auto bomb pullets. I

327
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: think anytime you're not sure, just like, do it quiet? Uh?

328
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: And you mentioned that you know the left lane is

329
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 1: for passing. You can also be stopped in fine if

330
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: you pass on the right. If your excuse was but hey,

331
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: the guy wouldn't get over, they can say, I'm sorry,

332
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: you're still getting a ticket, but we'll give him a

333
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: ticket to if we happen to see that you're you're

334
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: both gonna get tickets, right, just likes, can it be

335
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 1: any more fair than that? And women have to get

336
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: a license to wear lipstick? What else? Uh? The emergency

337
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: lane um is for emergencies only here in the United States.

338
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: When traffic backs up in certain places like l A,

339
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: people will drive in the emergency lane because they can't wait. Yeah,

340
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: that's that makes me want to kill two. But they said,

341
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 1: I love this part. Even if you run out of gas,

342
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: that's no excuse because that's an avoidable thing. So that's

343
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: very sensible as well. I get the feeling that you're

344
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 1: it's very shameful as well. In Germany, to run out

345
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: of gas because they're just so like on top of everything,

346
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 1: they're like, you know, if you run out of gas, room,

347
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: you're you're not worthy of being on the road. Like

348
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: they have like like page eight of the local papers,

349
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: just like mug shots of people who ran out of

350
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: gas in the emergency yesterday. Uh, should we talk about

351
00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: some of these fines? And that's kind of the least

352
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: interesting part. Yeah, how about this? This will this will

353
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: drive people on the website after this. If you want

354
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 1: to see some fines, some some infractions and the corresponding

355
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: finds in Euros, look up auto Bonn on how stuffworks

356
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: dot com. We'll remind you again later at the end

357
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: of this episode. Another cool thing I like about the system, Josh,

358
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: it is it's all consistent with how they letter and

359
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 1: number everything. Everything on the auto Bonn system has a

360
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: capital A followed by a number. Even numbers go east west,

361
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: odd numbers go north south. Same exact thing in the US,

362
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: is that right? Yes? Seventy five north south, eighty five

363
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: north south, ninety five north south twenty forty sixty eighty

364
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: all east west. Same thing is it was modeled on

365
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: the autobon Eisenhower is like, I love these Nazis. I

366
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: don't think they're all like that, though, are they? It

367
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: seems like California had some for interstate for federal highways only,

368
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: So what about rings. I don't know, UM two eighty

369
00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: five probably larger, I want. I don't know this, but

370
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: I would suspect that the larger orientation, whether it's east,

371
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: west or north south, would guide the people naming it

372
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: giving it a name. So like, I'll bet two eighty

373
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: five it has longer stretches going east and west or

374
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: north and south than east and west, which is why

375
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 1: it has an odd number. But it's not a perfect circles.

376
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: I tend to make stuff up, and that could be

377
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: an example of uh You would think that because of

378
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 1: the excessive speeds that the auto bon would be a

379
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: death trap. I would, and for a while there it

380
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: was pretty unsafe, like uh N. I think was the

381
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: all time high when they had more than one deaths

382
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: that year, which is staggering. It is, but it's less

383
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: than the United States standard of about forty thousand a year. Yeah,

384
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 1: but we have a lot more highway we we we

385
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: do know. UM. In two thousand eight, though, that number

386
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: fell to fewer than because of a few things, better

387
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 1: engineering in the cars, safety obviously, better engineering of the

388
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: roadway very much. My dad taught me this. My dad's

389
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: a mechanical engineer, but engineers. Any type of engineer appreciates

390
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: the work of any other type of engineer. Um And

391
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: he taught me to really appreciate a curve where you

392
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,199
Speaker 1: don't have to move your steering wheel, You just you

393
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: just tilted slightly and then you just hold it and

394
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: placed for the whole curve. You don't have to turn

395
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 1: it to stay into the curve is a perfectly engineered

396
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: and perfectly constructed curve. I have driven on a race

397
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: track and that's how it is. But you can you'll

398
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: if you pay attention, you'll find that some curves on

399
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: some highways are better than others, for sure. And every

400
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: and when you when you're looking out for it, you

401
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: really appreciate that one curve where you just pull into it.

402
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: You're like, hat's off to you, guys, It's like, way

403
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: to go, This is a perfect curve. Yeah. Yeah. When

404
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 1: I did Atlanta Motor Speedway, I actually got the feeling

405
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: that I didn't even need to turn my wheel because

406
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: the bank it felt like the car just kind of

407
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 1: turned itself. I'm sure that's not the case, but I'll

408
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 1: bet it is. It was pretty cool. Yeah, what were

409
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: you doing on at Lant. We did a commercial shoot

410
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: there years ago and I got I had to go

411
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 1: the day before to like get some paper signed from someone.

412
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: And the guy that worked there said, he's like he did.

413
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: He literally did. He's like, hey man, he won't take

414
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: a lap went heck, yeah I do. He's like, you're

415
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: have any money? It was Unfortunately I was in a

416
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: production vehicle, so it was a like a GMC yukon

417
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: suv want like ninety and it felt on the on

418
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: the high on that track, it felt like I was

419
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: going about thirty really, so it wasn't actually a thrill.

420
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: It was just like this is neat. But the banks, man,

421
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: those are scary, Like I thought I was gonna tip over.

422
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: That's how steep it I would imagine, so, especially in

423
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: like an suv, especially in a big suv. Yeah, well

424
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 1: it's very fun though. Uh So. Yeah, the autobun is

425
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: one of the safest roadways in the in the world

426
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: nowadays United States, but it's not it's in Germany. It's right,

427
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 1: don't try and fool me. Uh. There's been talking recent years, Josh,

428
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: about imposing some speed limits because of environmental factors more

429
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: than safety. Yeah, apparently if you propose, um putting speed

430
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: limits on the auto bonn for safety reasons, you're just

431
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: chided and derided and upbraided like by everyone, like, oh,

432
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: shut up, you don't know what you're talking about. You

433
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: clearly just moved here from Spain or something like that,

434
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: you know. Um, it's all about environment though. And in fact,

435
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: there's three cities in Germany Bond, Cologne and I think

436
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 1: Berlin who have instituted um, what are called oom lot zones. No,

437
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: I don't think they're room lout zones, boom welt zone,

438
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: which is an environment zone. And basically it's like you

439
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 1: have to have a sticker that shows that your car

440
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: was um inspected and meets approved a mission standard to

441
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: be able to drive in this environment zone. So if

442
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 1: you drive a nasty diesel car, you can't drive in

443
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: certain sections of Bond or Cologner I think. Well, speaking

444
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: of stickers too, you have to have a tire rated

445
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: for for speed as well, which is another great rule. Well, yeah,

446
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: you can't if you have a really fast car. You

447
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: can't have really cheap tires, like your tire has to

448
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: be rated for your car's top speed or you can

449
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: be pulled over for that too. Right, But they do

450
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: allow exceptions, I think for certain kind of winter tires,

451
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: which you need the sticker for though, to show the

452
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: cop the pullet side that you're like, I can have

453
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: these winter tires. Yeah. So obviously they're going to post

454
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: speed limits all over the autobon for carbon emissions. Right, sure, Wrong,

455
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 1: Chancellor Angela merkel Um in this country, you would call

456
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: her Angela merkel Um. She said in two thousand seven

457
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: that she would not support any speed limit uh measures

458
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 1: for the autobon. I love that. Instead, she said, automakers,

459
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 1: why don't you just go make the car as um

460
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 1: more efficient? Yeah, with fewer emissions. That's what I love.

461
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: She's like, no change your cars. And apparently she's she's uh,

462
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 1: she's a standard bear for the rest of the country

463
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: as far as the Audubon goes. You got anything else?

464
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: I mean no, I don't have anything else. Really, I

465
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,199
Speaker 1: got I have one thing and this this makes sense? Um.

466
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: During the Cold War, obviously, the roads were neglected more

467
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: in East Germany. In West Germany and so that was

468
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: sort of in a state of disarray, lots of potholes, um,

469
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 1: impassable places, major obstacles and um. A lot of these

470
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: roads were just used for military traffic for a little while.

471
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 1: But since the end of the Cold World, since the

472
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 1: Wall fell, I think they've tried to help out East

473
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: Germany a little bit there, Yeah, make the roads a

474
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: little better so they can be a Germany united in

475
00:27:54,280 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: road and spirit. Yes, and they are, yes there, so uh,

476
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: there you have at the autobon. It's our companion piece

477
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,360
Speaker 1: to Root sixty six. I remember when I was a kid,

478
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: it was did you just heard a lot about the autobon?

479
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 1: It was like, I don't know, maybe that was the

480
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: big when cars were really going fast because I just

481
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 1: remember the auto well yeah, but that was also the

482
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: same age where you were, you know, eight to nine

483
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: times likelier to have a poster of a Lamborghini on

484
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 1: the back of your bedroom door with a mug. Yeah,

485
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: I remember tho. I remember that Garfield one where it

486
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: was like a real shot of a mansion and like

487
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 1: a Lamborghini and all this a boat and all that,

488
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: but Garfield like super imposed over it was like whoever

489
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: dies with the most toys wins. Can you imagine a

490
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: more eighties motto than that? Material? Phil, what are you doing?

491
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: You've gone astray? He's back though everybody, and he's dead.

492
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: You don't know what I'm talking about. Look up, is

493
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: Garfield actually dead? It'll bring up some pretty cool stuff. Um.

494
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: If you want to know more about the Audubon, including

495
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: some other trafficing fractions and their corresponding finds in Euros,

496
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: you want to type in autobon A U, T O,

497
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: B A H N in the search bar how stuff

498
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,120

00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: listener mail. Sometimes it means it's time for Facebook questions.

501
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: That's right. And this week, Josh, it's a very special

502
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: edition of Facebook Questions because these aren't questions about us

503
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: for a change. We're not gonna sit here and talk

504
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,080

505
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: it off putting when we do that. Yeah, it's intrusive.

511
00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: I'm no, I am I'm currently a hologram. John Hodgeman

512
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: actual is currently in Brooklyn, New York. So Jerry busted

513
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: you out? How did that go? She busted you out

514
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: of the safe room. Oh, that went fine, and I

515
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: was able to make it back home. You just left.

516
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: And John Hodgeman actual is in Brooklyn, New York right

517
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: now promoting, well, actually at the Bellhouse tonight, getting ready

518
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: to to present the launch of his new book That

519
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: Is All, which I guess came out today. It came

520
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: out today, November one, two thousand eleven. So John Hodgeman

521
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: actual had to be in Brooklyn to begin his book tour,

522
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: and so he sent me his holographic representation. So should

523
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: we congratulate you or can you send it? Can you

524
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: send a message to I can convey a message to

525
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: Hodgeman Actual? Okay, so we have breakfast this morning. Was

526
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: that you or was that the actual John Hodge That

527
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: was me the hologram. Okay, the hologram really puts away

528
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: the sausage links. Well, you know, when you're a hologram,

529
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: you can eat whatever you want. Okay, So are you

530
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: prerecorded or I am an interactive program that responds to

531
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: stimulus in a very similar way. And yet I see me,

532
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: Chuck is moving his hand through your head right now,

533
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: so it looks you look totally solid, but obviously you're not.

534
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: I am an interactive program that responds to stimulus in

535
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: a very similar way. I thought I detected odors, John

536
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: Hodgman odors, but that must just be in my head.

537
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: I am an interactive program that responds to various stimulus

538
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: and a in I forget what I was going to say. Well,

539
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: you know, I guess that's good enough for Facebook questions. Well,

540
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: I yes, I have a question. Can you feel love?

541
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: K just let me like this? There? We alright, Hello,

542
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: I am a holographic John Hodgment. How may I be

543
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: of service? Well, John, holographic John. We had some fans

544
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: right in of yours on Facebook because we said, hey,

545
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: John the hollow Graham is going to be in the office.

546
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: That's great because John Hodgman usually uses a robot to

547
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: answer his email perfect then, so this works perfectly. And

548
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: they responded in kind, and we're you don't know these questions,

549
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: is not pre prepared. And even if Hodgeman actual did,

550
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: I don't believe Hodgeman Virtual would be preloaded with these

551
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: and there's yeah, there's no way that these could be predicted.

552
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: The due random I'm looking forward to hearing the questions

553
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: from the millions of fake accounts and offshore banks that

554
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: are registered at your website. When we will, we will

555
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: ask it. Now, do you want me to kick off?

556
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: Are we gonna? Are we gonna call out the people

557
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: who asked the questions? I think we should. Yeah, we

558
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: always do so John John the hologram, Yes, I don't

559
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: know if you know this, but John the actual loves

560
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: the podcast, love stuff. You should know. He always talked

561
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: about it's almost to an embarrassing degree. Um, I am

562
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: aware of his affection for the podcast. Choose not to

563
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 1: comment on it, Okay, that's fine, that's fine, But you

564
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: can you basically have access to all of John the

565
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: actual thoughts and feelings about certain things. Okay, So, um,

566
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: we did a podcast, an episode on the Muppets. It's

567
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: a much beloved episode. I am aware. So this question

568
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: I think pertains to that. This is from Josh Bailey

569
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: and he asks which Muppet is your favorite? There can

570
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: be no question that John Hodgman's favorite Muppet is Kermit.

571
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: He is an incredible character in American fiction that I

572
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: adore and also John Hodgman does too. Okay, it's convenient. Um,

573
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: there is for the most part a consensus on the

574
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: Internet that I resemble Benson Bunsen Honeydew. Yeah, now that

575
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:52,959
Speaker 1: you mentioned that there's a very famous picture of you

576
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: with said Muppet, is there there is? I've seen it

577
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: on on my phone. I have Well, I cannot, as

578
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: a hologram, I cannot confirm whether or not that picture exists.

579
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: You're you're speaking of something that falls into a nondisclosure

580
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: agreement that you signed pertaining to the New Muppets movie,

581
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: of which John Hodgman has no part except visiting a

582
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:26,320
Speaker 1: table read. But that but that is that's that. Yes,

583
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: I think probably the Muppet Movie is one of the

584
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: sort of most overlooked great film of the seventies, you

585
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: know what I mean of the great films of the seventies,

586
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: And I'm including so we're talking you know, The Godfather

587
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: and Chinatown and you know those those great hard weird

588
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 1: complex unsparing French connection. French connection, you know, adult sophisticated,

589
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: and I don't mean an adult in story, yeah right.

590
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: Empire Strikes Back obviously falls in that category as well,

591
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:08,760
Speaker 1: sort of morally nebulous and and dark. The Muppet Movie

592
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: is is equally that it is a movie about puppets

593
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: that go on a journey to Hollywood to make a

594
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: movie about puppets. And at the end of the movie,

595
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: all of the puppets seeing about how life is a

596
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: movie while they're surrounded by fake props that are imitating

597
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,240
Speaker 1: the fake props from the earlier part of the movie,

598
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: and then the theater, the ceiling of the theater smashes,

599
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: and a real rainbow comes in and touches them all.

600
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: And then Kermit looks directly into the camera, breaks the

601
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 1: fourth wall and says to you, the viewer, life is

602
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 1: a movie. Write your own ending spoiler alert. Well this

603
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 1: is as you know. This is the only movie on

604
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,240
Speaker 1: which the literary critic Roland Bart was given a screenplay credit,

605
00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: because it's so in Henseley meta and beautiful and yet

606
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 1: and yet also emotionally very affecting. I love Kermit the Frog.

607
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: I love Beaker two put Beaker down, Kermit and Beaker

Speaker 1: of that lately. Yeah, you know what, Here's some things

628
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,120

00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: I do a podcast that I love very much called

00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: Judge John Hodgman where people call in and I and

635
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: I and they tell me their disputes and I tell

636
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 1: them who's right and he was wrong, and and Jesse

637
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 1: Thorne the bailiff, Jesse the producer of j Thorne excuse me,

638
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,799

642
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:24,800

643
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: We fell off our regular weekly thing. It's hard to

644
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 1: get good disputes. It's hard to get disputes where people

645
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: aren't simply buzz marketing Facebook all the time like we're

646
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: doing today. Um, we will put that thing out as

647
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: as often as we can, and I hope it will

648
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: be weekly, but it will never ever be twice a

649
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:49,479
Speaker 1: week because we all know that's podcast death, especially after

650
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: three years. So that was Joshua Bridget and the other

00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: your brilliant John. There was a time in my life

673
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: in the nineties when I love that performance so much

674
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 1: that I was like, maybe I should get tuberculosis. Maybe

675
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: I should sweat and drink all the time starting at

676
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: nine am and and cough because I'm already has matic.

677
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 1: So I'm halfway there. And look whatid it's them for you? Look,

678
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 1: I grew a mustache because that is the only facial

679
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 1: hair I could grow. And I wanted to grow some

680
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 1: facial hair. And this is what what every hair you

681
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 1: see on my face, That is the only hair that

682
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 1: I could grow. Like you're trying to grow a beard

683
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: right now as we speak, and heaven for months. Yeah,

684
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: that's why I see some stuff down there. No, no, no, no,

685
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: you don't want to see. I spend a lot of

686
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 1: time this summer when I went away as a deranged

687
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: millionaire experimenting with the beard, because truly, if I really

688
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 1: want to be a deranged millionaire, I gotta go full

689
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: Howard Hughes. Do you know what I mean? Mustache? And

690
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,720
Speaker 1: why are soul patches? I mean dot Holiday soul patches

691
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 1: isn't gonna do it. But it's just not in me. Guys,

692
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: there's still a part of me that's not deranged and

693
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,919
Speaker 1: not millionaire enough to do it. So that's the that's

694
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: the answer. Yeah, that's a lot of people wanted to

695
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: know that, John, Where do you go some you know,

696
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: it's like sometimes you wear a different shirt. Can a

697
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 1: guy grow a mustache? Yeah? People just want to know

698
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 1: why the guys wearing the concern that people have. And

699
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: there's another here's another perfectly true answer. You notice that

700
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 1: the mustache that I'm wearing looks fake because it was

701
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: so much darker than my regular topic. My whiskers are

702
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: very dark and my skin is very pale and pallid,

703
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 1: much like darc Holidays. And I got a little tired

704
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 1: as this happened once where someone came up to me

705
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: and said, I really like that you're growing a mustache.

706
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: And it was eleven o'clock in the morning and I

707
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: had shaved that day. Because when my whiskers would come

708
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 1: in they would be very dark. It always looked like

709
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: I was growing a mustache. So I decided to give

710
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: nature what it wanted, a right. So that's your answer,

711
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: thank you, Josh, Josh uh boring, boring, boring is from

712
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: this is from John Riddium. How do you feel about

713
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: asian carp that's not that's not the snakehead fishes it

714
00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: I don't know. No, you're thinking of the worm faces

715
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: asian carpet predatory species. Is that the issue here? I

716
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: think you're thinking invasive? Invasive? Thank you. Yeah, you really

717
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 1: have lightened up a lot of I don't know how

718
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,320
Speaker 1: to answer that question. I they're they're huge carp and

719
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 1: you know, generally I'm a I'm a fan of all. Well,

720
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 1: that's a little like Getty Lee's famous words, if you

721
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 1: choose not to decide, you still made a choice, John Hodgment,

722
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 1: refusing to answer is your answer. But here's one. Here's

723
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:38,280
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna sayil Perts famous words and and speaking

724
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: speaking of of of giant freshwater fish. There is a

725
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,719

00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,240
Speaker 1: and sports and of the world. There's a long section

729
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: in this book that follows the path of a semi

730
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 1: professional noodler who who meets an unhappy end. Noodling, of course,

731
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:14,720
Speaker 1: being the sport of sticking your hand down a catfish's

732
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 1: mouth um and catching it, yanking and yanking it out,

733
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 1: and then he later comes to face the ancient and

734
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 1: unspeakable one, the giant catfish, that is the entire Mississippi River.

735
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: That's another story, but that whole section is an homage

736
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 1: to the first episode of Stuff You Should Know I

737
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: ever listened to. That was the first. It was that

738
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 1: very thrilling. And you know what, John, When I was

739

746
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,560

747
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: and think about the world. We're both trying to explain everything.

753
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,840

00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,960

766
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: that I read in two thousand four writing the first book?

Speaker 1: one's yours. Not that I wasn't aware of a lot

775
00:46:54,360 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: of those odd town festivals. Zombies comedies, I know, we

776
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 1: didn't invent it. Yeah, no, you didn't. Let me. Let

777
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 1: me give you a little history lesson, right, Zombi has

778
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: been around for a long time. Check out a serpent

779
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 1: in the rainbow, dumb, dumb. Next, I saw that in

780
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 1: the theater rogue taxidermy bartering. Rogue taxidermy was probably you

781
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 1: bartering though that bartering we didn't do bartering house swapping.

782
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 1: You mean no, we talked about bartering, didn't we. I'm

783
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 1: sure we did in house swapping. Oh. Also, um conjunctions.

784
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 1: We use a lot of conjunctions. Bartering goes back to

785
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 1: my first my first year of college, when I would

786
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: tell other freshmen who were from out of states. I

787
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,439
Speaker 1: went to college the University in Connecticut, and I would

788
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 1: just tell people that the Connecticut is the only state

789
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: in the Union where barter is still a legal form

790
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 1: of payment. And then you can go into any like

791
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 1: wah wah or convenience store and try to buy things

792
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 1: with shiny shells, and if they accept it, it's lead.

797
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 1: my ground on this right all right. I guess that's

798
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 1: about all the time we have think just questions. Oh boy,
