99
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: School and then I and then you just out of it.

100
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 3: And then I grew out of it and I moved

101
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 3: on to like Carlin, that's what.

102
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 2: That's a natural progression, I understand. But I just gave

103
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:51,239
Speaker 2: a sorry to cut.

104
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,040

105
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 3: I've been a huge fan forever, and so to be

106
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 3: able to do a thing with him is like so cool.

107
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, he gave a commencement speech at uh. I think

108
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,440

00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, major and stand up comedy, right, And.

110
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,600

111
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: to the either the incoming class or like the graduating class.

112
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 2: And I remember watching it and being like, this is

113
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 2: one of the best ones I've ever seen because he

114
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 2: was just so realistic about it, and it was like

115
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 2: for those who need a little inspiration, especially our younger

116
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 2: ban animals, like google our YouTube Eugene Merman graduation speech,

117
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: and it was like simple, but it was basically like

118
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 2: find a community, do one thing for a really long time,

119
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 2: hope for the best. And you're like, yeah, that kind

120
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: of is it.

121
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,320

00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: to imagine the text prompt. Miles Astray entered into an

161
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: image generating AI tool to get his wild photo of

162
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: a flamingo looking like a headless ball of pink fluff

163
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: on spindly legs. The photo just won two awards in

164
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: the AI category of an international photo competition. Plot Twist,

165
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 1: Artificial intelligence had nothing to do with Astrea's photo. He

166
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: shot it with a camera and that ado got disqualified

167
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: from the one eight, three nine awards after winning third

168
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: Place and People's Choice honors for AI photography. The contest

169
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: name for one of the most formative years in the

170
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: history of photography includes a range of categories.

171
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah, education podcasts.

172
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: Astre submitted his Flamingo photo in the AI group to

173
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: prove that human generated art hasn't lost its impact in all.

174
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: Yeah algorithms, Yeah yes, screw your computers eat my butt, dudes.

175
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: After seeing recent instances of AI generated imagery outshining actual

176
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: photos and competitions, that occurred to me that I could

177
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: twist this story inside down and upside out the way

178
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 1: only a human could and would, Because yep, I guess

179
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: those are only.

180
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 3: He's more of a He's a visual guy. He's not

181
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 3: not a wordsmith.

182
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 2: There you uh.

183
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: He saw the image title flaming one as the perfect

184
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: candidate for the job because it's a real and an

185
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: almost unimaginable shot and yet completely natural. It's the first

186
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 1: real photo to win an AI award.

187
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 2: Oh are we giving out AI awards? First?

188
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 3: Really good question?

189
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 2: Why are we?

190
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: Why are we giving out AI awards? Is exactly what

191
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: I like? Who gives a ship?

192
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 2: You just google with us?

193
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: You came up with a search term. That's it.

194
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: I would dominate that. Yeah, me too, Yeah you too,

195
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 2: Claire would Claire Wood?

196
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 3: Why why do I have a headache at night but

197
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 3: not in the morning? Sunrise photo photo?

198
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 2: Yeah? Why giving awards to people making AI R? That's

199
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: the stupidest.

200
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: That's horrible, so dumb. But also what is interesting? It

201
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: sounds like sound It sounds like it's an actual photography contest,

202
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: like where there's other like real.

203
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, he still should win the People's Choice award. If

204
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 2: the people liked that photo of the headless filmingo the most,

205
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 2: that should win because the people liked it. Even if

206
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 2: they others AI, it's still the thing that captivated them the.

207
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 3: Most, aesthetically pleasing.

208
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. I don't. I can't really tell what it.

209
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: Eighteen thirty nine seems to be an actual photography competition,

210
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: and AI just happens to be one of their categories.

211
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 2: That sucks it.

212
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: Delete it, I agree, stop doing that. There's no reason

213
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: to have that competition.

214
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 2: It's fake.

215
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's fake.

216
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 3: There's no art I'd rather see. I'd rather see pictures

217
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 3: of people's dumps in the toilet. The vote for best dump.

218
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, we all make this It's easy. They

219
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 3: all kind of look the same, but esthetically some are

220
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 3: more pleasing than others. But at least it's coming from

221
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 3: somewhere real.

222
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's a deep inside. Yeah, that's at least

223
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 2: something human.

224
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

225
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 2: The people's choice would be interesting for that one too,

226
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 2: you'd be like, really, we all, why do we all

227
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: agree on this one?

228
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: It's I think people got tired of voting. I think

229
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: people got tired of voting. Just like, give it to

230
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 1: that one.

231
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,599
Speaker 2: That is a really strange thing for a real photography

232
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 2: contest to decide that we should start having categories for

233
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 2: best AI image. And does that mean people are like

234
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: editing it once it's created, because if it's just the

235
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 2: thing that exists. I have certain friends that just send

236
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 2: me pictures of things that they prompt and they texted

237
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 2: to me, and they're like, look, this is Sayanna robbing

238
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,599
Speaker 2: a bank, and you go, oh funny.

239
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: Great, Yeah, usually is awesome, but you're mostly usually interested

240
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: if it's like a picture of like you and your

241
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: friends doing it.

242
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kurt and I what was that? I remember Rob,

243
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 2: we were going.

244
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: To see Dune too, and then he made he made

245
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: all four of us in Dune costumes, and he's like,

246
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: I need everybody to wear this.

247
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 2: We looked cool. Claire, did you see Dune too?

248
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 3: I haven't even seen Dune, ou.

249
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 2: Tune.

250
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 3: I know that there's a sand monster, I know that

251
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 3: there's a slow mat. It just doesn't appeal to me.

252
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 3: But maybe I should just kind of sit down. I'm

253
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 3: sick right now too, so I should probably just sit

254
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 3: down and watch it.

255
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 2: That's such a good sick movie watching. You can because

256
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: you're not off, come right back. It's still a lot

257
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 2: of sand. You're not going to miss.

258
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, anything exactly.

259
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 2: Kurtie b and I went to a show that was

260
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 2: supposed to make an eight thirty start, and then it

261
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 2: was at this theater that Quentin Tarantino owns, so they

262
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 2: run a ton of old like previews and trailers. Then

263
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 2: they ran a Laurel and Hardy like whole or Avan

264
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 2: Costello like a whole ten minute short. Yeah, don't set

265
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 2: by the time exactly the time that it started. It

266
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 2: was like nine to fifteen when Dune started, and we

267
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 2: all realized it was like a three hour movie, and

268
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 2: we were like, there's just simply no way we're going

269
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 2: to make it to the end. Of this movie. Yeah,

270
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 2: and the funniest part where there was these kids that

271
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 2: were obsessed with dude kids, I mean twenty five to

272
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 2: fifty five year old men who would run to the

273
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 2: bathroom and then run back. But these weren't exactly track stars.

274
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: They're not an athlete, they're not light on their feet.

275
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: They were running like it was a normal sized person

276
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: who was running with more force down to the floor

277
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: than Foolward, so his run.

278
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 3: Was filled with sand bags.

279
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's a thing in dune where they these

280
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 2: dune people put this thing in the dunes and it

281
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 2: makes a thumping sound to track the giant sandworms. And

282
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 2: then these kids are running down and it's almost sinking up.

283
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 2: So the whole theater's going dunk dump dunk, dunk, dunk,

284
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 2: dunk dunk. And then you see him like sit down

285
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 2: really quick, and we're like, well, take it easy on

286
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 2: the terry Pepsi and maybe you won't have to sprint

287
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 2: out of here all the time.

288
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: Also, there was a guy who was probably mid twenties

289
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: who was I guess, I don't He wasn't the projectionist.

290
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: He was the I don't know, theater hosts where he

291
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: just got up and just in like seemed to be

292
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: hand picked by Quentin Tarantino to stand at the front

293
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: of this room of nerds and just be like, this

294
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: is a beautiful print, the only print thirty five millimeters

295
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: seventy millimeter print of Dune made in the It is

296
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: five hundred pounds and it's sitting up there, and he

297
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: gets credit. He names the projectionist, he says, and of

298
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: course we have the amazing projectionist James Covell in the

299
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: back running this on three separate and describes the machines

300
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: and everything, and then it starts, and immediately you watch

301
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: the physical film just run off the track.

302
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 2: It's just a white screen.

303
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: And then three nerds physically get up and run all

304
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: their weight straight down into the ground, and it's like

305
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: twenty minutes for them to fucking re spool the film

306
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: and put it back on. It's like, this is why

307
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: we're watching things digital guys.

308
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 2: This is Yeah, it was so everythink Kurt said is

309
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 2: one hundred percent accurate. It took an additional fifteen minutes

310
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 2: for the movie to start. After praising the film and

311
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 2: the projectionists, and then just we sat in silence.

312
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, we all said size It was like, usually a

313
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: projectionist is a pretty anonymous job.

314
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 3: They want to stay anonymous.

315
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: They want to stay anonymous. But to be announced by

316
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,959
Speaker 1: name and then fuck up your one job immediately. It

317
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: was so beautiful, but.

318
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 3: Also like it's it was must have been shot all

319
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 3: digitally and then but then we're putting it on film. Yes,

320
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 3: for they weird.

321
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: Quality is to degrade it in quality a little bit.

322
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 3: To degrade the science fiction futuristic sand film.

323
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: Someone is going to because I just said degrade in quality,

324
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: someone is going to going to kick care of some

325
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of people writing dms as we speak about

326
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: the quality of seventy milions.

327
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 2: It was great. Everybody fell asleep. I look to my

328
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,239
Speaker 2: right and left. All my friends fell asleep for at

329
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 2: least fifteen minutes. Nobody missed anything. I fell asleep for

330
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 2: probably five solid minutes. Woke back up, no change at all,

331
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 2: didn't miss a beat. So yeah, if you're not feeling weal,

332
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 2: Claire boy, do I have a two movie series for you.

333
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 3: I'm trying to get some sleep.

334
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 2: Here's one from Jackson. This is one of the great

335
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:27,479
Speaker 2: names we've ever had. Kurt Jackson Beaudelaire to Jackson. If

336
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 2: you're not from Louisiana, moved to Louisiana Jackson. Beaudelaire sent

337
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 2: this in woman swallowed by quicksand while enjoying a walk

338
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 2: on the beach with her husband, dropped like a rock.

339
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 2: Oh my god, this was.

340
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: Sand on the beach. What beach is this? I'm excited.

341
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a It's a state that you wouldn't have guessed.

342
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 2: I bet People dot Com written by best in the

343
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 2: Sinkhole biz David Cheu. Thank you David Chew.

344
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: We've read his stories before.

345
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 2: Yes, we have David Chew, so he is not going

346
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 2: anywhere from People dot Com. This guy searches every dark

347
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: corner of the world for things that drive us wild.

348
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 2: Let's see. Jamie Accord said she was walking along a

349
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 2: main beach with her husband when she suddenly found herself

350
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 2: waist deep in sand. What started as a normal day

351
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 2: at the beach turned into a startling ordeal for a

352
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 2: woman who suddenly found herself caught in quickstand. Jamie said

353
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 2: the incident happened while she and her husband were just

354
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 2: walking along Popham Beach State Park in Phippsburg, Maine. Never

355
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 2: heard of any of those things.

356
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: Can't stop him, popum, you can't stop him from drop him.

357
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: That's good making a surety come doing the quicksand beach.

358
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 2: It's from quote literally, it was just kind of like

359
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 2: I dropped into a manhole cover, She tells people. We

360
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 2: were walking along, just talking, and all of a sudden,

361
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 2: I went into the sand end quote. After she found

362
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 2: herself over waist deep in sand, she recalled telling her husband,

363
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 2: I can't get out. I dropped like a rock, She

364
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 2: told NBC affiliate wc SH for wish I was there,

365
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 2: and then the next minute I wasn't. Jamie's pretty funny.

366
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 2: She has a guess.

367
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I love that story. I just dropped.

368
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:29,239
Speaker 2: I just dropped. Fortunately, her husband pulled her out and

369
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 2: she was left with only a few scrapes from the sand.

370
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 2: It was one of those kind of one of those

371
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 2: moments where I just didn't know what to do. This

372
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 2: is a new thing that's never happened to me before.

373
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 2: She told people, Thank God, if this happens twice, it's

374
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 2: on you.

375
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 4: I go.

376
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 2: I go round to that beach all the time. And

377
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 2: as soon as he pulled me out, we turned around

378
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 2: to look to see what occurred, because we just assumed

379
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 2: I had fallen into an actual hole and there was

380
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 2: nothing there. She adds, it looked just like the beach.

381
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 2: It had filled itself right back in.

382
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: Wow.

383
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 2: Later, after she had already changed out of her clothes,

384
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 2: which were covered in wet cement like sand, she decided

385
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 2: to post about the experience on social media. Always smart

386
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 2: to warn others, especially those who go to the beach

387
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 2: alone at all hours.

388
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: At off hours.

389
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 3: Wait a second, so is there any evidence of this

390
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 3: actually happening? I wonder, Oh, I wish.

391
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: She went back and was like, here it is. This

392
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: is exactly how it happened.

393
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 3: But it refills itself. She goes back, well, this is

394
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 3: actually where it happened. Everybody goes okay, they start stepping

395
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 3: on it and nothing happens. Are we sure? She what's

396
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 3: going on here?

397
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 2: There's no proof, like nobody went back and fell in

398
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 2: it or found it later. She said, this is again, this.

399
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: Is just like, this is just this is most of

400
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: our stories are now. Someone posted something on TikTok once

401
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 1: and no one's gone to find out if Yeah.

402
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 2: Jim Britt Oh. Jim Britt, a spokesman for the main

403
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 2: Department of Agriculture Conservation, and Forestry told AP that the

404
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 2: real life scenario Court experienced isn't something out of a

405
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 2: Hollywood movie. The reality with this supersaturated sand is you're

406
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,719
Speaker 2: not going to go under, brit said. He went on

407
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 2: to say the climate change is a factor in what

408
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 2: happened as a number of winter storms redirected river water

409
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 2: to a sandy area where visitors are most likely to walk.

410
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 2: The sand is saturated with water, brit said, it's even

411
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 2: more unstable and very easy to find yourself sinking into it. Still,

412
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 2: brit said, this is this is crazy. Britt said, it's

413
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 2: a one hundred percent survivable scenario. If someone finds himself

414
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 2: trapped in supersaturated sand, that's simply not true. That's great.

415
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: This is what Britt should have said. Look, folks, we're

416
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: not going to stop them from going to pop them.

417
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 1: So if you drop them, you're gonna drop them. Current.

418
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 2: You got to become a ranger in five years. Just

419
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 2: quit them? Is the cover ranger.

420
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: I want to be a ranger so bad.

421
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 3: You already look like one, thank you, but I'm ready.

422
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 3: I feel like a baby walking around on the site.

423
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 2: Done there a dog done? We're looking at two.

424
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the one time when you want to have

425
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: a leash on a kid right, pop them right right right.

426
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 2: Back up from me.

427
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: I saw I saw a kid leashed. I went to

428
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: Lego Land. I went to Lego Land two days ago.

429
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: Definitely saw a kid on a leash. And I would

430
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: have expected that the amount of shame placed on leashing

431
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: your child, Like I remember seeing leashes when I was

432
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 1: a kid and being like, that's humiliating for everyone involved.

433
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: It's humiliating that you can't keep your kid under control.

434
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 1: It's humiliating for the child to be on a leash.

435
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: And I and people have made fun of people like

436
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: parents who use leashes on their kids for a year.

437
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: It feels like for decades now that it's almost like

438
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: a hack joke to say, like, don't leash your kid.

439
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 1: And still I saw a kid on a leash at

440
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: Lego Land in twenty twenty four, and I was like,

441
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: at what what could possibly be going on with that kid?

442
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 1: And I watched and it was just like a normal toddler.

443
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: It was just a normal toddler who just like doing

444
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 1: toddler stuff.

445
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 3: It's just a controlling parent, scared parent.

446
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know, I like, I don't know, like,

447
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: it doesn't just to be yanking it. She was, Here's

448
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: what it more was yanking, just yanking, Like kid would

449
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: go over to look at something, yank them back and

450
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: it's just like.

451
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 2: Oh man, that doesn't seem great.

452
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: No, And she was on her phone walking through Lego Land,

453
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,679
Speaker 1: just yanking her kid away from things he wanted to touch.

454
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 2: What if the leasha on the kid is attached to Doc.

455
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 2: What if it's just those two on their own journey together.

456
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 2: They talk to them to survive Lego Land, maybe a

457
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 2: golden retreet and this kid, and then what's the worst

458
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 2: that could happen?

459
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 3: It's like that movie was Sydney Portier and that other

460
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 3: guy and there their chain together, keeping the chain gang.

461
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 2: What could happen here? I'll teach you how to survive

462
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 2: quicksand okay, because this is an educational podcast. Rule number one, Claire,

463
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 2: stay calm.

464
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: Don't struggle.

465
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 2: Rule number two, lean back and find your way back

466
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 2: to where you were walking.

467
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 3: Lean I've been told to lean in, and.

468
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 2: You can also lean forward or back in a floating position. Yeah,

469
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 2: trying to disperse your weight over the most ground possible

470
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 2: so you can start freely. Then take your time and

471
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 2: crawl out if you have to.

472
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: I like that they're saying lean back, which could possibly

473
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 1: be the most painful way to do that. You're up

474
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: to your waist, Like, all right, I gotta lean back.

475
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 2: I have to break my back in half.

476
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: The way that we bend is forward, so easy to

477
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: bend forward, no lead back, that's the first option.

478
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 2: Oh man, but I looked it up. The most quicksand

479
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 2: in America's in Florida, unsurprisingly, where estuaries meet the of America. Yes,

480
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 2: and also in the Carolina is basically in swamp country.

481
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 2: There's a lot of it. And so yeah, good luck

482
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 2: out there. Walk with a big stick, lean back, lean

483
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 2: back as hard as you can at all times, no

484
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 2: matter what you're doing. Riding a bike, rollerblading, skiing. Oh

579
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 2: open up a little bit more all of a sudden.

580
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,800

Speaker 1: over the next like six months, things are going to change.

582
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: That's what I think. That's what I'm hoping we'll see.

583
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 3: I mean, I just I did just get a Google

584
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,480

585
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:28,040

586
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 2: I don't. Yeah, no, sadly I'm a loser.

587
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, well you gotta be cool and do that. But

588
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 3: I just got a Google alert that I died. Really

589
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 3: an obituary from the Chicago Tribune. It's kind of hard

590
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 3: to see.

591
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 2: What this is?

592
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: Great?

593
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 2: Was it a cool death? Did you betwards?

594
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 3: I think it's well, I was eighty seven.

595
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 2: They're okay, good run. Eighty seven is a great run.

596
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 2: I'll take eighty seven any day of the week.

597
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: You can't get seven is a great It's not bad.

598
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,479
Speaker 3: So I guess it'll really have to keep trying at

599
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 3: all because I'm already dead.

600
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes sense.

601
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 3: I think I died of a of not normal circumstances.

602
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 3: What's the word natural? Natural cause?

603
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: Natural causes natural.

604
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 2: Run over by a herd of bison as natural a

605
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 2: cause as there is.

606
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:22,959
Speaker 1: Did you hear the white bison was born white bison

607
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: was born in Yosemite.

608
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 2: Oh that's great.

609
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 3: And then that's the prophecy.

610
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: It's a Lakota, it's a Lakota legend.

611
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 2: Maybe hold on, maybe Yellowstone or was it Yosemite? I

612
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 2: don't know. Maybe, Okay, okay, I have always wanted to

613
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,959
Speaker 2: go to Yellowstone, and now you just gave me a reason.

00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:43,320

616
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: That's that's the suggestion that I've gotten from. Really yeah,

617
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: instead of like trying to drive that like famous road

618
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: that goes through it, I might be talking about the

619
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: other one too, is it? There's Yellowstone and then there's

620
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: what's the other jelly Stone, Smite, Semity, YOSEMITI might be

621
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: the one that has the famous road that you should

622
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: ride your bike through. It's like twenty five miles, but

623
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: on a bike, that's nothing.

624
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,200

Speaker 2: Are in New York? Have you noticed more people riding

626
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 2: those like one wheel motorized things that you stand on

627
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 2: both sides of the wheel.

628
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, I got a cahold choke about those

629
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 3: on my new album. Yeah.

630
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've noticed, like, and I'm not exaggerating, one a

631
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 2: day for the past two weeks, and it's a different

632
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 2: trust me, it's a different dude. It's always a dude

633
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 2: by himself, which is not surprising, but yeah, it's to

634
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,760
Speaker 2: the point where the first time you're like, there he goes,

635
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 2: just having his own fantasy world. And then the next

636
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 2: day again, and now it's been like a week, and

637
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 2: I'm like, are these things on sale?

638
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 3: I think they're definitely on sale. I think they're being

639
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 3: you know, they're being marketed. These specific men are being

640
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 3: marketed to. For sure. This is a yeah thing because women.

641
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 3: We're not seeing women on these one wheels.

642
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,720
Speaker 2: No, I don't know what they're called.

643
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're called either, which is interesting

644
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,240
Speaker 1: that there's not like a branding around it. But here's

645
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: my question for because the only different thing in one

646
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: wheel is the one where you stand on either side

647
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: of the Yeah.

648
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 2: In motion. In motion, they're three thousand bucks.

649
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 1: I say that's too much money. Have you guys noticed

650
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: that every time you see one with the with the

651
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: one where you stand on with the wheel in between

652
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:39,240
Speaker 1: your legs. Yes, it's they have a full motorcycle helmet

653
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: on heads.

654
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 3: Yes. I talk about this in my ALM The Perfect.

655
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 3: I feel like I can't be talking about this right now.

656
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 3: I've already covered it.

657
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, they're.

658
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:57,760
Speaker 3: Always wearing the biggest album or biggest album, the biggest helmet. Yeah,

659
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 3: full pads. Looking so stupid, the dumbest looking thing in

660
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 3: the world. It sucks why there's no piece of their

661
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 3: mind that's like, maybe this looks bad.

662
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 2: Same, it's very gizmo Duck from Duck Tails Too, which

663
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 2: was like a RoboCop duck on one wheel. Very that

664
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 2: I mean. But if it brings you joy, I mean

665
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 2: we're talking about them, so I guess it's a new

666
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 2: character in life. So if it brings you joy, have

667
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 2: some fun with it. I just thought they're listening to

668
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 2: something fun while they're doing it.

669
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: I you know what's interesting is I when I was in.

670
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 2: Super Creepy.

671
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: Just in the hot summer jingle Bell, I saw a

672
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: lot of people rollerblading in Atlanta when I was there,

673
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 1: and I got up on stage and I was like,

674
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: I just had this riff that I thought it was

675
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: so funny. I was just like, hey, you guys love rollerblading?

676
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 1: Is is that a big thing here? And they all

677
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: looked at me just like yeah, what huh, Yeah we

Speaker 2: Yeah, great workout for your hamstrings and glutes.

680
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,959
Speaker 3: But I mean down the street from my place, they're

681
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 3: building a roller rink. They're building a brand new roller rink.

00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 2: That bold choice Brooklyn.

683
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,600

684
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: rink begging to be torn down.

685
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 2: Well there is that thing. Now there's one. There's a

00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 2: bowling alley in Highland Park in Los Angeles that is

687
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 2: so beautiful it's unbelievable. But then when you bowl, it's like, oh,

00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 2: four of us are going to bowl two games. How

Speaker 1: that most towns can't can't destroy because.

697
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,080

Speaker 2: the marching band stuff in there over the summer. Yeah,

699
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 2: that was a big deal in my I grew up

700
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 2: in Maryland and just north there was a place called

00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 2: it was thrilled.

709
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,400

711
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: cool about eating Town roller Rink was when I was

00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: twelve or thirteen, they had one day it was like

713
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:58,200

00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: so you only only only skateboards were allowed and they

715
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 1: put out like jumps and stuff, and then bands would

716
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 1: play in the corner and it was like this is

717
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: the coolest place in the Yeah, we did there.

718
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:17,640

00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, where did you grow up?

723
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 3: San Jose, California?

00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: Just like things are going pretty good. One leg at

730
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: a tesla and the other on my scooter going to work.

731
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 2: When I was a kid, I had my uncle lived

732
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 2: in Sacramento and folesome that area, and he sent me

733
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 2: a San Jose Shark's hat and it was like my

734
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,479
Speaker 2: favorite little hat. And then a friend of mine's older

735
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 2: brother was like, hey, let me see your hat, and

736
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,399
Speaker 2: then he filled it with fireworks and lit him on fire.

737
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 2: Then blew my hat up, and so I wore it

738
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 2: for the rest of the summer, just huge holes and

739
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 2: patches missing from the hat. And I put it on,

740
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 2: my hair would hang out the sides, but that was

741
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 2: my San Jose Shark's hat. Was like, I'm sure my

742
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 2: mom threw it away once school started again. I was

743
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 2: probably like twelve, but for one summer I wore a

744
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 2: blown ups at every single day. That's so cool, very

745
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 2: fashion forward.

748
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 1: mainstream news. But I think it's so interesting. This was

749
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: a restaurant wanting a quote grown and sexy vibe bands,

750
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: diners under thirty.

751
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 2: Ew, that's a crazy choice.

752
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: It's a crazy interesting choice.

753
00:40:59,239 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 3: This.

754
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 2: Nothing's sad than the over thirty crowd.

755
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: This was This is written by Emily hyle O by

Speaker 2: The biz, best in the biz.

759
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:21,760
Speaker 1: When Marvin Pate and his wife opened Bliss, the Caribbean

760
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: restaurant outside Saint Louis, they were aiming for an upscale,

761
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 1: luxe vibe. They put Jolliffe rice in tropical cocktails on

762
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: the menu, offer kukahs for patrons to enjoy, and they

763
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 1: banned diners under the age of thirty. Since opening its

764
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: doors in May, the restaurant has operated with an unusual

765
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: age restriction, allowing in only women at least thirty and

766
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: men at least thirty five.

767
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 2: Oh okay, that's better.

768
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: Rules that the owners have been defending as necessary to

769
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: maintain the kind of grown and sexy atmosphere they're aiming for.

770
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: This policy is in place to ensure a mature, sophisticated

771
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: and safe dining environment for everyone. The age restriction has

772
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:06,479
Speaker 1: polarized customers, but Peyton his team have defended them as

773
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: needed to keep out a rowdy younger crowd. Quote, it's

774
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 1: just something for the older people to come and do

775
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: and have a happy hour, come get some food and

776
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: not have to worry about some of the young folks

777
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: who bring some of that drama. Assistant manager Eric Rhodes

00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: the moniker DJ dirty Bird. That's anophical it's spelled topical.

785
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 2: That wasn't a dance from Atlanta from two thousand and two.

786
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: That's topical, perfect for the over thirty five, DJ Dirty

787
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: Bird said. The policies of drawn crowds who appreciate older

788
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: school acts like Usher Campbell and Bobby Brown.

789
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 2: Okay, well it's not a problem.

790
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 1: I like Bobby Brown. This provides an environment for us

791
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,359
Speaker 1: so we can be around like minded people and people

792
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 1: who have the same energy. Many of their patrons seem

793
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: to appreciate the restrictions. Some people want to celebrate or

794
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: kick it to a different vibe. Sometimes Bliss gives you that.

795
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: I think this is what the city needs. We're tired

796
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: of y'all tearing everything up. But others chafed at the rules,

797
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 1: with some suggesting the manager simply crack down onruly patrons

798
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,359
Speaker 1: if that's the problem. Age does not guaranteed behavior, as

799
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,280
Speaker 1: these individuals above thirty thirty five who may still engage

800
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 1: in disruptive behavior. I think that's true. Of course, we've

801
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: been getting a little bit of backlash, but that's okay

802
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: because we're sticking to our code. We're standing on this

803
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: age restriction, So brandon a vibe we're trying to protect. Yeah,

804
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 1: this is like a thing. There's a place in San

805
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: Antonio and.

806
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 2: They own the business. If it's surviving, I don't say

807
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 2: any real problem with it.

808
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 3: It's a front for a swingers club, right, It's a

809
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 3: swingers thing, big time.

810
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 1: We don't want no little kids around. We're swinging in here.

811
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 1: It's a growing sexy vibe. Yeah, it does feel like

812
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,399
Speaker 1: a Sandals resort or secrets no.

813
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 3: Secrets right big time?

814
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: What was it? Secrets to that video?

815
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:24,919
Speaker 2: Hedonism?

816
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: Hedonism?

817
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 2: Ohism too? I mean that was on HBO's Real Sex

818
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 2: way back in the day. They had hedonism on it.

819
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 2: And then that weird viral video with that guy that

820
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 2: just loves going to hedonism too. And then we did

821
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,359
Speaker 2: an episode of Workaholics where the guys were trying to

822
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 2: go to hedonism too. The whole episode they were just

823
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 2: trying to get there. I yeah, I guess. I'm like,

824
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 2: if you own a business and it's working, and to me,

825
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 2: that's fine with me.

826
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 1: How many years before they either their rent is a

827
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: dollar a month outside of Saint Louis, yeah, or or

828
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: it within one year they're gonna be like, well the

829
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:09,399
Speaker 1: grown and sexy vibe now is uh, it doesn't matter.

830
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: Bring anybody.

831
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 2: We didn't buy our food.

832
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,320
Speaker 3: You know, and a kid's menu.

833
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 2: I Uh. One night, I was just wandering around the

834
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 2: Flatbush area of Brooklyn, which is smart to do, and

835
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 2: I was with my cousin and we came across a

836
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 2: place called Michelle's Cocktail Lounge. It was somewhere down off

837
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 2: of flat Bush. I mean it was deep, maybe like

838
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 2: Bedford maybe. And we were like, let's grab a drink.

839
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:38,839
Speaker 2: It's freezing cold outside, and we step inside the first door,

840
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:40,399
Speaker 2: you know, I kind of had that like plastic door

841
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 2: to keep the weather out. And there's a security guard

842
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 2: and he goes, you guys need to empty your pockets,

843
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 2: and we were like, oh okay, and we like pull

844
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 2: out a wallet and keys, and then I had a

845
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 2: pen because I had a notepad in my back pocket,

846
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:54,880
Speaker 2: and he was like, I gotta take that pen. And

847
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, now, I now we're walking into

848
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 2: somewhere insane. And so we walked in and my cousin

849
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,360
Speaker 2: and I are the only two white people in this place,

850
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 2: and but we're also the only two people in our twenties.

851
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 2: My cousin might have been in the thirties, but everybody

852
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 2: else are grown black people. There are forty plus having

853
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 2: a great time at Michelle's. We immediately felt awkward and

854
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 2: like we shouldn't have been there. We we didn't know.

855
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:19,879
Speaker 2: But then once you walk in, you can't be.

856
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 1: Like, uh, right, yeah, because then it's even weirder to

857
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 1: be I don't belove.

858
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 2: We sit at the end of the bar, yeah, exactly.

859
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,280
Speaker 2: We order a couple of beers. We're sitting there. Everybody's great,

860
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:33,799
Speaker 2: it's a really fun crowd. And then one drunk guy

861
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 2: at the other bar, probably in his seventies, gets into

862
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 2: it with another guy and they start kind of wrestling,

863
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 2: but nobody's really getting hurt. Like a weak punches throne

864
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,879
Speaker 2: but if it connected, it like knocked a crumb off

865
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 2: his cheek, and everybody else turns to us. It's like

866
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 2: it's okay, it's don't go like it's all right this no,

867
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 2: And then the security guy takes them out and they

868
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 2: were like it's fine, you know, don't worry about them,

869
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 2: and we're like, no, it's okay. And so we had

870
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 2: like one more beer, tipped like twenty bucks, and then

871
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,359
Speaker 2: on my way out, the guy's like, here's your pen

872
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 2: and I was like, thank you, sir, and like, but

873
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:09,839
Speaker 2: I felt like, I you.

874
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 1: Took your penants so that you couldn't like use it to.

875
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 2: Throat. Yeah, no weapons, And after seeing the geriatric fight

876
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 2: at the end of the bar, maybe somebody would have

877
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 2: gotten a good scratch right across the jar or something.

878
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 2: But yeah, they were like, don't worry about it, it's fine,

879
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 2: you all are welcome here, and we were like, thank you,

880
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 2: so sorry.

881
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: We were just cold, I know, because you could have

882
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: like escaped after the first beer. But then after that

883
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: you're like, all right, now we're now, we're here for

884
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:37,320
Speaker 1: even longer.

885
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 2: When now we belong here. We are pillars of the community.

886
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 2: Now we are the two snowflakes that blew in the

887
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 2: door when they opened. And we were like, all right,

888
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 2: we're riding this out video. It's very funny. And then yeah,

889
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 2: he gave me my pen back on the way out

890
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 2: the door.

891
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 1: Nice.

892
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 2: I wonder if Michelle's is still around.

893
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:55,360
Speaker 1: Where's gonna be?

894
00:47:56,239 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 3: I'm in a bushwick on the board of Bridgewood. Queen's great.

895
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 2: It's where it's a rack that used to be the edge.

896
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 2: But now I hear that's the place to be.

897
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:07,840
Speaker 3: It's the place to be. In a way that I'm like,

898
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 3: i feel like I'm too old to be here now

899
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 3: I've heard that everybody's so people keep getting younger. Have

900
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 3: you heard about this.

901
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:20,720
Speaker 2: That Caribbean bar? Not at whatever?

902
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 3: I'm moving a flatbush, I just think about all the

903
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 3: times I've like been in a smaller town. I go

904
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:31,320
Speaker 3: to a bar with a friend and it's all old

905
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:35,760
Speaker 3: people or like bikers, and it is like record scratch,

906
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 3: and then they they always give you a beat to

907
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 3: be like are you sure you want to sit here?

908
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 3: You sure you want to stay here? And you're like, yeah, sure,

909
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 3: I'm hungry. They go okay. They're just like really kind

910
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:52,399
Speaker 3: of bummed that you're kind of freaking everybody out. It's

911
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 3: like you're gonna judge them or something.

912
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:59,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is really weird. I've never understood that at

913
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: a place that has to make money in order to

914
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 1: survive by selling people things like I've never understood that

915
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,760
Speaker 1: there was a bar. We've talked about it before on Bananas,

916
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:13,240
Speaker 1: but there's a bar in Windsor Terrace called Farrells, which

917
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 1: is we walked in there one I lived. I lived

918
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 1: in Windsor Terrace for ten years.

919
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 2: Yeah.

920
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 1: I went to Farrels exactly once and we went in.

921
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:27,879
Speaker 1: It was fucking weird. There was like five people in there.

922
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 1: We were one of we were two of like five people,

923
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: and a guy came up to us and said, what

924
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: are you doing in here?

925
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 2: He stood above our table.

926
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 1: He stood, what are you doing? What are you doing here?

927
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 1: And then the bar time was like leave malone, Larry

928
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:45,880
Speaker 1: ye won and then like Larry like shuffled back and

929
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 1: like fell asleep into his beer on the bar.

930
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 2: And we had a product. We had just shot a

931
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 2: web series, so we had a bunch of bags and

932
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 2: like suitcases and stuff with us, and he had lots

933
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:58,879
Speaker 2: of clips. We were firing clips out back then. And

934
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 2: sure when we went to leave, after realizing, you know,

935
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:05,439
Speaker 2: this might not have been the best decision, we grab

936
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 2: all the bags and this guy comes out like red

937
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 2: face and he's like, what are you doing? Like looking

Speaker 2: a man basically, and I'm like what He's like, you

940
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:18,000

00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 2: was Kurt's bag. Do you remember the curtain now? And

942
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 2: I had picked up a bag because we had a

943
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 2: pile of bags and coats and one of the small

944
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 2: Duffel bags was this guy and he could see I

945
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 2: had like ten bags and I instantly was like, hey man, sorry,

946
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 2: I thought it was his bag. And Kurt's like, yeah, yeah,

947
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 2: we have all this stuff. And I handed to him,

948
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 2: and he thought I was robbing him, and so he

949
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,320
Speaker 2: was so ready to fight, but he was so terrified,

950
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 2: and he was also so drunk. It was like this

951
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 2: standoff where it was like, here's your bag, man. It

952
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 2: was an accident. Those things happened in the world. We

953
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:54,240
Speaker 2: are sorry, and you will never see us here ever again.

954
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:55,879
Speaker 2: And I don't think we ever went back.

955
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,160

00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:27,320
Speaker 1: That's what it is. It's a very weird place.

966
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 2: They offered a dollar beer that you was served in

967
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,359
Speaker 2: a wineglass. It was Budweiser, and it was ice cold.

968
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 2: Their beers there were ice cold. They also had a

969
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 2: thirty two ounce phone cup beer that you could buy

970
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 2: is It to Go beer, which was very famous. You'd

971
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 2: just buy a giant thirty two ounce beer, walk into

972
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 2: the park and drink your beer. And one day when

973
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:49,880
Speaker 2: I was there super hot, out the number of blue

974
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 2: collar working men who pulled their work truck up, came in,

975
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 2: slammed a one dollar beer and left a one dollar tip,

976
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 2: and went back in their h VAC truck, back in

977
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 2: their plumbing truck, back in their electric truck. It was

978
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 2: like thirty over two hours, just like they had a

979
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:07,400
Speaker 2: dollar beer that he would fill the top in a

980
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:09,840
Speaker 2: wineglass and they would just tip it back, be like

981
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,720
Speaker 2: hey hit the bar twice and then walk out getting

982
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 2: their car and driveway, and You're like, holy shit, they

983
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 2: know their clients out.

984
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 1: I was once with a dude and I was always

985
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,320
Speaker 1: wondering what it would be like what what like true

986
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 1: alcol alcoholism looked like. I was surfing with this guy

987
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 1: and he I've only I only went surfing with him

988
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 1: a couple of times. This was in Rockaway and he

989
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: gets in the car and he's just like agitated, and

990
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,720
Speaker 1: he's like he's something's going on, and he's like, I gotta,

991
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 1: I gotta, I gotta stop. I gotta stop right here

992
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:43,840
Speaker 1: and h and he comes in and he just walks.

993
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:46,880
Speaker 1: He goes into a deli, walks back, gets two guinness,

994
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 1: which is the weirdest choice, weird choice, pours one just

995
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:53,759
Speaker 1: in the store, pops the top, pours it into a

996
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:57,800
Speaker 1: cup from like the from the fountain soda thing, chugs

997
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 1: the entire thing, then pops the other one, pours it in,

998
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 1: puts the top on it, and then like has that

999
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 1: for the drive back home? And I was like, this

1000
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 1: is like, oh no. Immediately it was like, oh, what

1001
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:12,240
Speaker 1: are we going to do? We're gonna get a beer

1002
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 1: after a surf. This sounds fun. And then it was

1003
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: like I need to consume one inside the store. Yeah.

1004
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 3: No, we're maintaining my lifestyle where I know. I'll say

1005
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:29,640
Speaker 3: about ten to fifteen comedians who do just that every

1006
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 3: time I hang out with them. I will say, if

1007
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:38,320
Speaker 3: I really am really thinking about it across America, yeah sure.

1008
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 3: But one thing about those bars I will say is

1009
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 3: that when you're a woman walking to it into like

1010
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 3: a cop bar or something like that, like it feels

1011
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 3: like people are looking like they're actively not looking at

1012
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 3: you because they're treating they're treating you like your bait

1013
00:53:56,760 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 3: or something like you're there to get them in trouble.

1014
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:04,920
Speaker 3: I see in a weird you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1015
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 3: like I a woman in here. This something's up and

1016
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:11,400
Speaker 3: it's like no, I just want to chug two Guinnesses

1017
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 3: because I'm an alcoholic with my comedian friend.
