27
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 4: me when I'm away at work, and I've had like

28
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 4: a couple assistants over the years. But I had one

29
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 4: uber drivers, this nice young woman, and it was raining,

30
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 4: which is so rare. And my street is a single

31
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 4: lane street, just to give an idea of how narrow

32
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 4: it is. It used to connect to it used to

33
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 4: be a through street, but now it's a dead end

34
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 4: because during the ninety nine for earthquake, part of the

35
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 4: road collapsed and so they the city of la was like, yeah,

36
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 4: we don't need it, so they never fixed it. So

37
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 4: the bottom of my hill is yeah, you can walk it,

38
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 4: and like, to me, if there was ever a fire,

39
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 4: it is my escape route. But this young woman picks

40
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 4: me up in the rain and she as soon as

41
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 4: I get it, I'm like, hey, thanks for getting me.

42
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 4: She just starts going, am I okay? And I said

43
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 4: you're okay. She said, I'm okay to drive back up there,

44
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 4: and she's like, I have to go back up I'm like, yeah,

45
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 4: it's a dead end and she's like, am I okay.

46
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 4: And then we went I would say under five miles

47
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 4: an hour in this little prius, and she just kept

48
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 4: asking me, Am I okay over and I go, yeah, yeah.

49
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're okay. I was like, do you want me

50
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: to get out and drive?

51
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 4: She's like no, no, no, and I'm like, go fifty

52
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 4: more feet, fifty more feet, we'll get there. It was

53
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 4: so I felt like, I'm sure I tipped her twenty dollars,

54
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 4: but she thought in her mind she was sliding off

55
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 4: the side of the hill and down onto the five.

56
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,120

Speaker 3: he's not actually going on dates with these women, but

168

Speaker 1: I don't think in ten years, I'm gonna be like

00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 1: I could imagine just being like, I'd like to go

183
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: on a walk with someone.

184
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 2: Yes, were you? Were you the one?

185
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 4: Did you have the joke or the story about royal

186
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 4: farms that used to just pump cheese into Frito's or

187
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 4: something like that.

188
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: Was actually, even though we were in Baltimore, that was

189
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: a seven eleven. Yeah, that was Yeah. We had something

190
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: we'd call Baltimore Burrito, which was you get oot potato chips, uh,

191
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: and if you bought anything at seven eleven, the Chilian

192
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: cheese are free. So we would buy Ootz potato chips

193
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: and then pump Chilian cheese directly into the bag and

194
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: then shake it up and then you could just squeeze

195
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: it into your mouth like some sort of disgusting charcouteri toothpaste.

196
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 4: I mean that sounds so good, honestly. Yeah, in college

197
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 4: it's hot pocket.

198
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, get drunk, do that. Everybody would do that.

199
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: So you just like it's a ninety nine cents for

200
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: like a big bag of potato chips. We'd fill it

201
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 1: all the way up with chili and cheese and share it.

202
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: And then once we put it in the fridge because

203
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: you like you're twisting it like it's rolled up by

204
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: the end to get it all out. And then once

205
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: we put it in the fridge, before we passed out,

206
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: and we woke up in the morning and then like peeled,

207
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: you know, it hardened and congealed in the night, and

208
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: then we like peeled the bag off of it and

209
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 1: saw what we were eating, and it was it's the

210
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: most upsetting because the shape of it was upsetting, the

211
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: coloring of it, the little pieces of potato chips stuck

212
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: in it was disgusting.

213
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 2: Yes, it's like, this is what we're doing.

214
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: This is what we're doing to ourselves.

215
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

216
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 4: Like, and like all people that get older, it's like

217
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 4: I don't eat as much dairy as I used to,

218
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 4: like lacto sensitivity or whatever. But like somebody got a

219
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 4: huge thing of nachos from like a baseball game and

220
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 4: they're like, can you eat that? I'm like, if you

221
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 4: think there's dairy in this, you have lost your mind.

222
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 4: This is just like eating plastic, and my body seems

223
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 4: to love eating plastic.

224
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 2: Totally good with me.

225
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of Baltimore, well that's where I went to college.

226
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: But uh, we do have a college confession here, Scott.

Speaker 1: Not gonna I'm not gonna reveal who sent this in

231
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: because it's a confession. If you specify it's a confession,

232
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,600

233
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:44,880

00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 2: Insane already yeah.

Speaker 1: Already what Also, she doesn't say that she was on

236
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 1: the rugby team, but rather that she lived in the

237
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: girl's rugby house and the boys rugby team would break

238
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: in and steal our food. So strange, noble things are

239
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: weird already.

240
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 2: Yes, So.

241
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: That's how many of o's she used. One day, we

242
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: go and buy some cheap steak, put them in a

243
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: ziploc bag, throw some seasoning in there, and each take

244
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: turns peeing in the bags on the steak. Five girls,

245
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: five different steaks that weekend. First off, rugby rugby rugby

246
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: women are different. There, that is bold choice. Five girls,

247
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: five different steaks. That weekend. We had an away game

248
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: and surprise, surprise, the steaks were gone. They never said anything,

249
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 1: but man it felt good.

250
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 4: Oh they ooh, that is a great prank. First of all,

251
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 4: that is like retaliation and size for him, good for you. No,

252
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 4: there are no better people in the world to drink

253
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 4: beers with than rugby playing women, or I guess they's

254
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 4: and them's too. I mean, it's just so they go

255
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 4: so hard, but they're gregarious.

256
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: Yes, they are very fond. Yeah, very true. Because it's

257
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: like it takes a certain person to play rugby, do

258
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Because it's like off the norm.

259
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: It's not your softball game, it's not volleyball. It's you

260
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: got to find a rugby team. There aren't high school

261
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: female rugger teams very rare. You search these people out.

262
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: That is a fun time. I agree one hundred percent.

263
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: I'm not not gonna eat any of the steaks though,

264
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: but a fun time.

265
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm never gonna eat a meal in the woman's

266
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 2: rugby house.

267
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 4: A guy that I went high school with played rugby

268
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 4: in college and they and I might have said this

269
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 4: early early early on bananas. But part of their initiation

270
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 4: they didn't like haze. But like if you were a freshman,

271
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 4: you had to go through a little bit of help.

272
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 4: Was they had to get naked. The rugby men love

273
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 4: getting naked. It's like they really really like let it

274
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 4: all hang out. And then the thing they had to

275
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 4: do is they would stand on the front steps of

276
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 4: the rugby house and then they would have to stick

277
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 4: toilet paper between their butt cheeks and then you would

278
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 4: lower it like a tail to the ground and then

279
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 4: you rip it off, so you had one long strand

280
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 4: of toilet paper from butt to grass. Okay, and then

281
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 4: they had to they would light the bottom on fire

282
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 4: and they had to do a full lap around their

283
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 4: house before caught up to their ass. Wait, it was

284
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 4: a big gass house. But he said it like burns

285
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 4: so fast, like crazy fast.

286
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: But also what's crazy is that, like, if you're running,

287
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: doesn't the toilet paper fall the toilet paper roll fall

288
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: out of your butt cheeks?

289
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean?

290
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 4: I think you pinch one end in your butt cheeks,

291
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 4: and I think that's the thing. If it does, I

292
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 4: think you have to do it again. So you kind

293
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 4: of pinch your butt and then you do a penguin

294
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 4: run around the house while you hope the flames don't

295
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 4: get up to your your guccs.

296
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 2: I guess.

297
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 4: But I thought that was like, that's just good old

298
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 4: fashioned college fun. But we spent the rest of the

299
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 4: conversation just saying who was crazier, like lacrosse players or

300
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 4: rugby player And those conversations are so wild and so fun.

301
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 4: They just go harder. I think the little cross people

302
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 4: go harder because they're usually preppy, kind of risch kids,

303
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 4: so they can get away with more stuff.

304
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 2: Uh huh.

305
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 4: I think the rugby kids are the fun kids. And

306
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 4: as an adult, like when I'm on a set or whatever,

307
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 4: I always befriend like and they'll be like, oh I

308
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 4: played I played rugby at Michigan. Oh I played rugby

309
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 4: at the Navel, And I'm like, these are great people,

310
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 4: men and women.

311
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: They are. It's the most fun, yeah, most fun thing

312
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 2: to do.

313
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: I always thought that rugby was the same thing as

314
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: Australian rules football. Right then I saw I dated an

315
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: Australian and she was like, we have to watch Australian

316
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: rules football and I was like, okay, great, and I thought,

317
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna watch rugby and we go to a bar

318
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: that happened to be playing Australian rules football. If you

319
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: have never seen Australian rules football, it is It's neither

320
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: football nor rugby. It's just it's insane. I think it's played,

321
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: if I'm not wrong, in a giant circle like it's uh.

322
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: And they have a ball that looks somewhat like a

323
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: rugby ball, which is like a larger a larger American football.

324
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: But then they bounce it. Have you ever seen this?

325
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: It's insane. They like bounce pass an oblong ball to

326
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: each other and it it just never stops. It's people

327
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: getting destroyed and tackled. It is probably And then just

328
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: like and then people doing this insane thing of bouncing

329
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: a football on its side for like far distances and

330
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: no one has any like protective covering on or anything.

331
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: And I was like, this is what it was like

332
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: to must have been to grow up in Australia, whereas

333
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: like this was what was considered like a normal thing

334
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: that men did. And that's why I found out. Recently,

335
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: I was doing research, my kid was watching my kids

336
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: were watching the Wiggles, and man, I hate the Wiggles.

337
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: I deeply hate the Wiggles.

338
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 2: Are you familiar with Wiggles?

339
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: Wiggles are from Australia and they are they're in sepid

340
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: They're insipid, just like it's just right now. It's like

341
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: they're all different color, like what one's red, one's yellow,

342
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: one's blue, one's green, and I think one's purple. And

343
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: currently they have a woman. I think she just quit anyway,

344
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: I started looking into the Wiggles. They just like sing songs,

345
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: and the songs are not good, and their facial expressions

346
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: are upsetting even to a toddler. I think everything about

347
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: the Wiggles, I just like, yeah, they're just very upsetting.

348
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: It's one of my least favorite things to have on

349
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: and I watch a lot of bad children's television and

350
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: I deeply hate the Wiggles, so but I looked into it.

351
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: I started doing research into the Wiggles because someone also

352
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: sent a historian that the Wiggles are currently doing at

353
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: the original Wiggles, who started in nineteen ninety one, are

354
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: doing an adult's only stadium tour in Australia, so now

355
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: it's for no children. No children are allowed, and then

356
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: people just go and fill stdums to watch the original

357
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 1: four or five Wiggles, all men who are like in

358
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: their sixties now just like sing children's songs. I guess,

359
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: I don't know. They must say fuck every once in

360
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: a while because it's adults only and it says adults

361
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: only in big letters. But I realized why the Wiggles

362
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: became popular, and now I have slightly more respect for

363
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: the Wiggles, but not much more so. They started in

364
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one, ok. And what was revolutionary about them

365
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: was that it was four or five men who were

366
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: speaking to children and taking care of children and like

367
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: being goofy and silly and laughing and dancing and singing,

368
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: whereas like the Australian male identity was like killing a

369
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: crocodile or like playing Australian roles football. So this was

370
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: like revolutionary when it came out in Australia in the

371
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: nineteen nineties. And the reason that they always they always

372
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 1: have their hands up in like kind of like jazz hands, yes,

373
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: And the reason was was to always have the children

374
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: see where their hands were, so like we're saying because

375
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 1: they're men, yeah, because they're men. And that was like

376
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: judged as like insane that you would do that in

377
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: the nineties in Australia. So they have to always be

378
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 1: like doing jazz hands to be like we're not bad people.

379
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 1: Isn't that insane?

380
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 4: Well, it's insane because in real world, if you were

381
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 4: out in any man did jazz hands anywhere near you,

382
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 4: you would pick up your children and run. You would

383
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 4: run a grum man doing jazz hands. It's more terrified

384
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 4: than a man with his hands in his pockets. Yeah,

385
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 4: unless it's Nathan Lane or something, it's get away from that.

386
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 4: If it's Lynn Manuel, then you go that's fine. He's

387
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 4: good at this.

388
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Yeah.

389
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 4: The only experience I have with Wiggles is there's a

390
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 4: strip club in Queen's. I tried to open a Red

391
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 4: Bull account and it was called Wiggles, and I go in.

392
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 4: I go hey, because in New York, if you can't

393
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 4: have alcohol and fully nude, if it's fully nude, there's

394
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 4: no alcohol. Wiggles was fully nude, so the best you

395
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 4: could do beside drugs in the bathroom was pound energy drinks.

396
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 4: And I go into Wiggles and I meet the general

397
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 4: manager and I go, hey, we're here with Red Bull.

398
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 4: We're an energy drink company. We want to set up

399
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 4: account with you. He goes, oh, I already have an

400
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 4: energy drink, and he had white labeled Wiggles energy drink

401
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 4: and it was a topless woman holding a catana sword

402
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 4: and it just had Wiggles Energy open it. And he

403
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 4: sold them for five dollars a can. And at one

404
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 4: point we had one in our Red Bull office. I

405
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 4: no longer have it, but dear God, if anybody out

406
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 4: there has a Wiggles Energy drink, can let me know.

407
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 4: I will pay for shipping. It was and we were like,

408
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 4: so you don't need it, he goes, I don't need it.

409
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 4: I just sell my own.

410
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I love that so much.

411
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 4: It was a topless woman in heels and a high

412
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 4: hipped thong holding a sword in front of her and

413
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 4: it just had Wiggles Energy on it.

414
