50
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 2: What's interesting about this episode is that we rarely do this,

51
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 2: but we banked like eight episodes, so we haven't seen

52
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 2: each other. We haven't done an episode of Bananas in

53
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: probably two months.

54
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been a really long time, but we're back

55
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: in it. We're back in the groove.

56
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 2: Because it's been a it's been an insanely stressful time

57
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 2: for me moving, But now I'm settled. I am settled.

58
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 2: I mean there's still boxes, we still got boxes lying around,

59
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: but we are in the apartment where our things have

60
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: arrived from being traveled across country by pods. I stayed

61
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 2: with pods. Guys. Yeah, I'm on the other side of

62
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: the thing that I've been talking about for I don't know,

63
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: NonStop for six months. On the podcastday, it was a

64
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: big deal.

65
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: It was a move and a job. That's crazy. Usually

66
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: if you switch jobs, people stress out. Usually if you move,

67
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: you stress out and you just combined the two and

68
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: do a little perfect storm. It was.

69
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: Oh and for those I don't think we only I

70
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: think we only talked about it on the Patreon, which,

71
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 2: by the way, we got so much awesome content on

72
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: the Patreona. Right, there's and you have so many different

73
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 2: levels to choose from. You can find the one that

74
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 2: works for you. But I got a job. I got

75
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 2: a job on a late night show here in New

76
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: York City. And yeah, so I'm writing on a late

77
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 2: night show that's daily. It's a very insane process.

78
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: Yes it is. But it's a great job to have

79
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: at a time where so many people don't have jobs.

80
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: You're kicking butt. I'm happy for you. I think this

81
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: is so exciting. You get to take the train to work.

82
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,799
Speaker 1: That's like a Curdi b dream come true.

83
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 2: I live across the street from the train, and I

84
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 2: walked to the train and it's thirty minutes. I'm not

85
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: gonna tell you what town I live in.

86
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: Folks, Yeah, don't do it, but you can.

87
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 2: Figure it out. Thirty minutes in from New Jersey. It's

88
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: one of probably five places. Oh but uh, New my

89
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 2: my god. First off, New York City, I like left

90
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 2: my house. I left my on a Sunday morning. Never sleeps, Scottie.

91
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: I left my house on a Sunday morning, Okay. I

92
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 2: got to an empty apartment that we had to rent early.

93
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: Yes.

94
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: I went to bed on a mattress, on a child

95
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 2: mattress that I had delivered before I arrived.

96
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: Nice. Nice.

97
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 2: I woke up in an empty house, got on the train,

98
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: and then I walked from the train to uh to

99
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 2: where I work, which is about a twenty minute walk.

100
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 2: And it was the craziest feeling in the world to

101
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 2: have woken up the day before in Los Angeles in

102
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 2: my home and then be just walking to work in

103
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 2: New York City in midtown. It was crazy.

104
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: It was after nine hours in a cave of solitude

105
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: in empty space, that empty sound that you only hear

106
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: in an empty apartment.

107
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 2: Oh, it's the worst. Every single thing that happens. If

108
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: you like, put your keys down, it's like a chink chink, chink,

109
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 2: chink chink. Yes, it has been a whirlwind. The job's

110
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: been a whirlwind, the move's been a whirlwind. But I

111
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 2: just want to tell everybody, Yes, the East Coast summer

112
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 2: is intoxicating.

113
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: It.

114
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: I had forgotten how awesome. It feels how cool fireflies are,

115
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 2: how god damn disgustingly human it is. But and yet,

116
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 2: and yet, walking around I'm just like on a high,

117
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: like I go to walk the dog, I'm just like,

118
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: look at this wall of green that greets me everywhere

119
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 2: I turn is It's like it it nourishes me in

120
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 2: a way that I did not.

121
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: Lush on the East Coast, specially mid Atlantic. It's so lush.

122
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 2: We get six months of it and then it'll look

123
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 2: like the world has dyed great.

124
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, but.

125
00:06:55,279 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 2: Right now it is amazing. And everybody who's got a

126
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 2: big change coming up, whether it's by choice or by

127
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: tragedy or by good fortune, I just want you to know,

128
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 2: once you're on the other side of it, it looks good.

129
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: Maybe always good.

130
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 2: It's always good. How are you? I haven't seen your

131
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: talk to you in so long?

132
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: All right? The Three Big Things. I went saw Jaws

133
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: at the Hollywood Bawl with the La Philharmonic. So they

134
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: played the movie on a bunch of big screens, and

135
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: then the whole orchestra plays the score. Incredible, Oh that

136
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: sounds awesome, pleasant, lovely. Seventy five degree Los Angeles night

137
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: wonderfull time love that then got a Tarot card reading,

138
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: a first full We have a ban animal named Shelle

139
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: or Shelley, who did one card readings for us at

140
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: Bananas Fest one. Hopefully she'll do it again at two.

141
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: But Lizzie Cooperman, our good friend, Lady Lizagna, did a

142
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: full tarot card reading that's on our Patreon and I

143
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: had never done that, and Kurt, she was so accurate. Really,

144
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: it was eerie.

145
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 2: Really, I was at you, she knows you a little bit.

146
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: She doesn't know this stuff really. Yeah, because I didn't

147
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: ask about relationship stuff, for financial stuff or like how's

148
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: work going to be? I asked for like, what is

149
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: the what is my soul holding back in this moment?

150
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 2: Oh?

151
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: So I kind of went for a deeper question and

152
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: it started kind of like uh. It started like she

153
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: was like, uh oh, there's some bad stuff, and then

154
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: towards the end she was like, wait, these last three

155
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: cards are huge, like big things are coming. It was

156
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: so fun And if you Lizzie does readings over Zoom,

157
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,280

Speaker 1: then the light changed and taking a right turn in

174
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: front of me was the Wienermobile. And I was going

00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: light because I wasn't trying to, you know, film and drive,

181
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: and it was so funny to just be behind it.

182
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: And I was in my little convertible. So I was

183
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: in a convertible following the Wienermobile through Los Angeles. You know, okay,

184
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,479
Speaker 1: Top six hundred moments in my life.

185
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 2: Did you pull up close enough to it that the

186
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 2: Wiener part of it was sticking out over your head?

187
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 1: Yes? I did it. It's like my car had a

188
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: tasty tube steak for a roof and it was so

189
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: damn funny. I'm like, I hope that this podcast continues

190
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: to grow where we can truly have a bananamobile one day,

191
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: or a banana boat, even if it's just a pontoon

192
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: boat that loosely looks like a banana to that thing around.

193
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 2: All we need to do, I mean, they got to

194
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 2: sell those Wiener mobiles. What do they think they just

195
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 2: throw them into the trash. At some point they have

196
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 2: to sell one of them, right. All we got to

197
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 2: do is get that thing a paint job, and we

198
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 2: got a banana top a couple.

199
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: Of points, right. Yeah. To the good people at Oscar Mayer,

200
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: if you ever need to get rid of an old one,

201
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: one that's seen worse days, maybe smokes a little too

202
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,719
Speaker 1: much out the back end, we'll take it. We'll take it,

203
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: banana boys will take it. We'll buy your hands, we'll

204
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: buy it off you. We'll paint it up. We'll put

205
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: two points on it, some little black spots. We're in,

206
00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: we are in.

207
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 2: You want to hear this story by him?

208
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 1: Strange news storytelling. Now that's what I call bananas.

209
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 2: This was on a local ten dot com seems real.

210
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 2: This was written by Oh Chris Gothner, the goth version

211
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 2: of Chris Gethard, Florida keysman Mark's birthday by doing meth,

212
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 2: stealing conk train and picking up riders. Cops say here

213
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 2: it is peep key Wes. Police say. A man told

214
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 2: officers quote, today is my birthday, after being told he

215
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 2: was under arrest for stealing a Conk Tour train on

216
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 2: the fourth of July. According to an arrest report, July

217
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: fourth was indeed Jonathan Patrick Winslow's birthday. It's fourth of July. Wow,

218
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: his fifty seventh birthday. He's facing three criminal charges after

219
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 2: being accused of taking one of the famous vehicles on

220
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 2: a meth fueled joy ride. Now I it is. It's

221
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 2: called the Conk Tour train. It looks like a train.

222
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 2: It is a trolley. It has wheels underneath the fake

223
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 2: train wheels. He looks like a young sting. That's what

224
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: he looks like. Okay, so imagine a young sting but

225
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 2: with his hair, with his hair sticking up on end,

226
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: that's what I mean. I don't even know how he

227
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 2: got his hair to stick up like that. It looks

228
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 2: like gel, but it's definitely meth. Police went to the

229
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 2: Conk Tour train depot at eight oh two Staples Ave

230
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 2: just before eleven thirty am Friday, after receiving a report

231
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 2: that a Conk train had been stolen was being GPS

232
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 2: tracked around downtown and like Key West Downtown is not

233
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 2: very big, right, No, not at all. And the rest

234
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 2: report states that Winslow of Big Torch Key left his

235
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 2: Kia behind at the depot, still running with rock music

236
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 2: playing on the radio. Oh so this dude just came

237
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 2: up spur of the moment, hopped in the Conk Tour

238
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 2: train and took off, Police said. An employee told officers

239
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 2: that he come into the depot, claimed he used to

240
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 2: work for the company years ago, and asked for a

241
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 2: tour of the train. They said he then got into

242
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 2: one of the vehicles and drove off, leaving the employee

243
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 2: he confused, thinking that Winslow may have had permission to

244
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 2: take the train. Winslow did not please say. Another employee

245
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 2: was able to retrieve the stolen conk train near Duval

246
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 2: and United Streets. I'm sure it doesn't go fast, authority said.

247
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 2: Winslow had even picked up two random passengers while driving

248
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 2: the vehicle. Boud Winslow at the southernmost point Booie. Police

249
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 2: said he exhibited rapid exhibited rapid speech and appeared excited,

250
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 2: and when being told he was facing charges, claimed hemuril

251
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 2: It merely borrowed the trolley, saying he used to work

252
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 2: for the company. In today's birthday report states that while

253
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 2: being searched at the jail corrections, you'd have found a

254
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 2: pipe in Winslow's poppet. It's a weed pipe, police said.

255
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: Winslow exclaimed it was not a weed pipe. They said

256
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 2: instead it was a petamine pipe. If you're going to

257
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 2: steal the conk train, leave your meth pipe in your car, folks.

258
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 2: That's I think the main great advice. As of Monday,

259
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 2: Winslow face charges a burglary, grand theft auto I mean

260
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 2: grand theft auto should be grand theft train, and possession

261
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 2: of drug paraphernalia. He is being held on a sixty

262
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 2: thousand dollars bond that seems excessive to me. Sixty dollars.

263
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: Everybody got hurt. It sounds like a sweet.

264
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 2: Bird, It sounds amazing.

265
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: I know. I'm so I'm so upset that I wasn't

266
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: one of the people that got to just what.

267
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 2: A what a ride to make the decision that you're

268
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 2: gonna get on the conk train, right, you're looking for something,

269
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 2: You're looking for a story here at Key Web to

270
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 2: begin around by a man on methamphetamines and then watch

271
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 2: him get arrested at the southernmost point. But we come on,

272
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 2: You're gonna tell you that I will pay one hundred dollars.

273
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: It's the most normal thing that could happen to you

274
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: in Keys. I like the Schooner Wharf. What Scooter Wharf

275
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: is such a fun bar down there, and every time

276
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: I go there, it's so fun. I was down there

277
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: with our good buddy Melissa Walker. We I was on

278
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: a road trip. She was shooting the show in Savannah.

279
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm heading down the Keys. Do you

280
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: want to go? And She's like, yes, how long it

281
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: take go to Key West? Yeah?

282
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: From from Savannah the oh no, from the mainland of Florida. Mmmm.

283
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: Oh, from the mainland of Florida. I don't remember. Maybe

284
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: like the the problem is you're so many bridges. Then

285
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: when you get to every key, you have to slow

286
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: down so much. So let me just say it takes

287
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: two hours. Oh okay from Miami.

288
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 2: All right, great? Oh from Miami. That's amazing. I thought

289
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 2: took like.

290
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: Thinking about that. I love Key Largo. Key Largo's super fun.

291
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: Marathon's fun, Mamorado. Anyways, we get down there where we're

292
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: eating oysters, we're having a ball. It's it's an hour

293
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: before sunset. We're sitting at the sko.

294
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 2: Are you gonna have some conk?

295
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,920

Speaker 1: leave cash on the table, walk in on a boat,

312
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: go out on a sunset cruise with a bunch of strangers.

313
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: They're like, how do you know Ray? And we're like

314
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: we don't. And they're like, do you want to rum

315
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: punch and we're like we do. And then we just

316
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: went on an sunset sail cruise with some guy that

317
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: had a big boat. I think everybody else charged it.

318
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: We just walked on it. It was dude, that's a

319
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: very key way Ray could have been on meth. Like,

320
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: I don't ask questions.

321
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 2: Those those holes could have been filled with meth. Yes,

322
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 2: one it could have been a catamaran. One catamaran keeps

323
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 2: a float, the other one keeps it full of meth. Yes,

324
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 2: that's right, That's what I'm talking about, Scottie.

Speaker 1: I know Melissa to take off and that night eight

326
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:46,719

Speaker 1: because you're a touring headlining comedian a lot. Sometimes we

328
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 1: eat meals alone. Oh yeah, we enjoy it.

329
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 2: Oh yeah. I had an old joke about it. I'll

330
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 2: do it after you've finished eating. I mean yeah.

331
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,239
Speaker 1: So I went to Pete's Cafe Pepees and QS. I

332
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: love Peppees. I go every time. And I walked in,

336
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great feeling. And some for some reason,

337
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: food tastes better in a wet swimsuit.

338
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 2: I don't Hell yeah, I don't know what.

339
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: Hot Dogs taste better at baseball games, popcorn tastes better

340
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: movie theaters. It's just experiential stuff. And I was like,

341
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,639

Speaker 1: surf and turf, which I think down there they call

348
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: reef and beef. And I sat there and had like

349
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: three drinks, had one of the best feels in my life.

350
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: But this this the server kept being like just you,

351
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: everything okay, and I was like, I'm not gonna blow

352
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: the place up, man, I'm just hungry. I got a

353
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: credit card, burning a hole in my wet swimsuit.

354
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 2: And so was it a Mexican place?

355
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: No? No, No, it was just like that steakhouse. It's

356
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 1: kind of like a rustic sort of It's like a

357
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: laid back breakfast place that has really good dinner. But

358
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: it's like you'd love it. It might be the oldest

359
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: restaurant in the Keys. I think that's right, but you

360
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: would love it. But yeah, the guy, a grown man

361
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: my age, was just like just just you. It's all over,

362
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, dude, I don't mind.

363
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 2: My rule was when eating at a Mexican restaurant by

364
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 2: yourself was never order the fahida platter, because the fijida

365
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 2: platter comes out of the kitchen, real, real hot, real loud.

366
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 2: Everybody's like sort of like, who got the fahida platter?

367
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 2: Who got the faido? No, it's the sad man seated

368
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 2: by himself, and then you try and eat it real

369
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 2: fast to get out of there. You burn your mouth

370
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 2: on all and all it's all just it's all just

371
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 2: onions and green peppers, little bit of meat and oneins

372
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 2: and green peppers. Baby.

373
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: I know. For twenty four ninety nine, I still one

374
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: bell pepper one. I know, so I love it so good.

375
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: You had a great joke. I don't know if it

376
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: was ever part of like a set, but I heard

377
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: you say it a couple of times that a lot

378
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 1: of people have those stickers, the stick figures of families

379
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: on the back of their fans and station wagons, and

380
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: you had one that it was like just a stick

381
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: figure of just you, just one guy, just like it,

382
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: just me. I used to kill me the best. Such

383
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: a funny thing to.

384
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 2: Tell people that you have a family. It would be

385
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 2: just as funny to tell people that you're alone.

386
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was. And every time I still see them,

387
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 1: they're sort of a throwback. They're sort of a pre

388
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: great choar thing. But every time I see one of

389
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: those family ones, it's the stick figure family and the

390
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: dog or whatever. I think of you driving around in

391
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 1: a car with just a stick figure of a solo man,

392
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: just one guy in his car.

393
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 2: He's gotta sums up. He's just like I couldn't be happier.

394
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: Whatever I would.

395
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 2: I'm driving exactly where I want to go.

396
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: Oh man, I know every time I see what I

397
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: think of that joke, which is so funny. This one

398
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: for us, all right by Candle underscore e. So I

399
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: think like Candle, I don't Candle Blankele. Candle sent this in.

400
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: So did Sarah Painter, the Great Sarah Painter, Kurt. This

401
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 1: one just keeps getting better. Grand Junction, where you and

402
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: I've been with the love butt and your wife long.

403
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 2: It is an easy place to drive through when you're

404
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 2: going cross country.

405
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: You got that right, Jack. Grand Junction Minor League baseball

406

409
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 2: I'm so happy about this one.

410
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: CPR News, which is Colorado Public.

411
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 2: Radio Cardiac Pressure Response, Thank you.

412
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: Hump back chub is a silvery green fish with a

413
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: quasimoto hump, found only in the deep water spots in

414
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: the Colorado River and in the ballpark town of Grand

415
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:17,719
Speaker 1: Junction called Lolorado. The small Desert, Citi's minor league baseball

416
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: team recently adopted the threatened species as its alter ego

417
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: team name. Most of the time, the team is called

418
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: the Grand Junction Jackalops, which is also a great name

419
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: for a baseball team, but on home games on Wednesdays,

420
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: it transforms into the hump Back Chubs. Shortstop Isaac Nunez

421
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: since the name change is going swimmingly, I mean, dude,

422
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: come on, Stina sieg Is, I mean so good words

423
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: into sentences and paragraphs. Everyone was super excited about it.

424
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: They were excited to put it on the jerseys. We

425
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: were excited to self to call ourselves a Chubb. Everyone

426
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: loves it, he said with a big smile. But things

427
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: weren't as always so chummy between team and fish supporters.

428
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 1: The saga started back in twenty nineteen. Twenty two year

429
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: old Grand Junction native named Ian Loomis fired off a

430
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: tongue in cheek tweet espousing an idea he had held

431
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: on for years. He wanted his hometown baseball team to

432
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: change its name. They used to be the Grand Junction Rockies,

433
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: which is a shitty name to show off their then

434
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: affiliation with the Colorado Rockies. To Loomis, it seemed like

435
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: a lost opportunity do something fun, he said, unique and local,

436
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: in the spirit of other minor league teams like the

437
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: Binghamton Rumble Ponies and the Albuquerque Isotopes. Yes, a great

438
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: names exactly, so why not the Grand Junction hump back chubs.

439
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: It landed him in immediate hot water with the team.

440
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, Stina Sieg it really might be the

441
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 1: best in the beeswax.

442
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 2: But also, how old is this guy who tweeted this

443
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen twenty two? He was twenty two?

444
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: This is awesome.

445
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 2: Then, yeah he's twenty two. Yeah, he's to wait to

446
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 2: the ripe age of twenty eight to see it come

447
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 2: to fruition.

448
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, half dead? Why not? Yeah? Right? The future is Ian,

449
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 1: in the future is female. Why not the Grand jump

450
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: Junction hump back chubbs. It landed him in immediate hot

451
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,199
Speaker 1: water with the team. If they just say no comment,

452
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: nothing would have ever happened. Instead, the team management fired

453
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: back their own tweet, calling the word chubb an offensive

454
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: slang term.

455
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 2: No, it's not wait time.

456
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: It is a slang term, but it also is also

457
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 1: a fish. It's also a.

458
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 2: Fish, also a fish and chubs are.

459
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: Like venus a guppy. Is there a problem with that?

460
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 2: He always does and it's uncomfortable in mixed company?

461
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is what is mixed company? Racist?

462
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 2: Or is it just being.

463
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: Men and women in ages? Is it?

464
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 2: What is mixed company? I guess it means everything. It's

465
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 2: one of everyone.

466
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels it feels like get used to mean

467
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: something bad, but now it's like man. Yeah. I was

468
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: absolutely thrilled because the organization had a public meltdown. He

469
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: said the team blocked him and others who grow up

470
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: grow up. He said the team blocked him and others

471
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: who suggested or even mentioned the Humpback Chubs on social media.

472
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: So Loomis became a momentary internet celebrity. The more he

473
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: talked to the media, the more people he inspired, and

474
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 1: he started a petition asking the team to change their name.

475
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: He got around five thousand signatures. Looms kept pushing the

476
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: name change and eventually scored a conversation with Charlie Mumfort,

477
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 1: the owner of the Colorado Rockies. It went great, it

478
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: raised his hopes. Loomis said those hopes were dampened in

479
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. Ooh, kind of the soul when the

480
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: team was sold off and given a conspicuously non fishy name,

481
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: the Jacalopes, which for I don't know, I think everybody

482
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: knows what that is, but it Those are mythical bunnies

483
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: with antlers that a lot of Americans are so stupid

484
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: they think is real.

485
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 2: Come on, what you would prefer a made up tourist

486
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 2: gimmick than the than the real Chub, than.

487
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: The real hump back Chubb. However, when Harrison Shapiro took

488
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: over last team president last year, my very first order

489
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: of business was this, we were going to do the

490
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: Humpback Chubs. We'd always like the name. So he made

491
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: new jerseys and designed them carefully, and they are They're

492
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: not offensive at all. We didn't put any baseball bats

493
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: on our jub logo for any for obvious reasons. He said,

494
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: with a chuckle, This guy's having a ball having a

495
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: ball up there in grand junction. Instead of adopting it permanently.

496
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: The team transforms into the Chubs on Wednesday home games,

497
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: as well as a few special days. Having an alter

498
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: ego has become very common in minor league teams today.

499
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: We have the Wisconsin Utter Tuggers dude, wait, these are

500
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: so good.

501
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 2: And that's them. Who what's the regular team name for

502
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 2: Wisconsin Utter Tuger.

503
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: No, I know it's the uh let's see, I am

504
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 1: looking at it. It's funny because the infamous Utter Tuggers

505
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: are back. What is this team name? Ch affiliates looks

506
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 1: like maybe a snake. It looks like it has a

507
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: rattles I'm gonna go rattlesnake. Okay, maybe the Wisconsin Rattlers,

508
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: but then they become the Utter Tuggers, the.

509
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 2: Very popular Wisconsin Rattlesnake.

510
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: Just one of the coldest states of all states. And

511
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 1: the Eugene exploding whales, which were familiar from Florence, Oregon. Shapiro,

512
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: the humpbck chubbs blah blah blah blah blah. So it's

513
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: also about more than reeling in business. Team has sold

514
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: more humpback Chub merchandise in a few months than they

515
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: did with Jacobe merch in two years. Obviously, a sense

516
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:51,959
Speaker 1: of humor people.

517
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 2: It's really crazy how much people don't It's it's really crazy.

518
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 2: I also feel like if it wasn't a baseball it

519
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 2: would have been or I mean like if it wasn't

520
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 2: a sports team, it would have been easily. I think

521
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 2: there's this thing with like masculinity, like with the idea

522
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 2: of performance of masculinity, where it's like, if you see,

523
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 2: if you seem silly in any way, that's like the

524
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 2: deepest threat to your masculinity. And I think it's the

525
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 2: still mist shit because the true people who are actual

526
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 2: men are willing to be made fun of or even

527
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 2: look a little bit silly, Like being a dad is

528
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 2: part of being a like part of masculine identity, maybe

529
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 2: the most, and you have to be silly, and it

530
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 2: is okay, like that is what should be we want,

531
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 2: we need to like rap silliness back into being the

532
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 2: definition of being a man in this fucking country.

533
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: Agree, good, well said, beautifully said, and very true. And

534
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: everybody nobody's silly anymore. They're all getting face lifts.

535
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 2: I know they're trying to do jawmaxing and look like

536
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 2: some sort of neanderthal idiot.

537
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, well they do look like both of those things.

538
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 2: Jaw maxing is the exact opposite of silly, even though

539
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 2: it's the silliest thing you can do.

540
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, because they're not maxing it out enough. There they're

541
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: going that's minimum. They're doing jawn minimum, jaw max. It

542
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: would be like you'd have to get in the back

543
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: seat and steer the steering wheel with your chin. These

544
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: guy's a bunch of cowards. At the inaugural Chubbs game,

545
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: fans tried to keep cool with pints of Chubbs themed

546
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: Beard called chug a Chubb from a local brewery. Y

547
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: and so I'll get to the end of this because

548
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: here's one longtime fan, George Hannick, who was a season

549
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: ticket holder for the Grand Junction. Rocky thinks the new

550
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: name brings awareness and is also simply fun. It's just

551
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: a really good thing. I think they should permanently become

552
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: the Chubbs. It's pretty much the best outcome that Ian Loomis,

553
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: who is going to be Banana the Week. By the way,

554
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: Ian Loomis, you are Banana.

555
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 2: The one Banana the Week, Ian Loomis, nice work.

556
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: Buddy, You did it, buddy. He got to throw out

557
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: the first pitch at a Chubbs game. He says, I'm

558
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: I'm not just happy for me, I'm very happy for

559
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: the team in the city. I really hope I can

560
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: turn to something really good that everybody can benefit. Curdiebe.

561
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: You know, I already ordered us Chubbs T shirts. I

562
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: got an excel for you. I will have it in

563
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,479
Speaker 1: the mail. But they are coming to the po box.

564
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna and they're great. They're green, they still hump back.

565
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 2: Chubbs my favorite color.

566
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: Baby, You're you're gonna look so good. Your eyes are

567
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: gonna pop when you put this shirt.

568
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm excited. Is it like a baseball jersey or

569
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 2: is it like a T shirt?

570
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: Nope, just a green T shirt. You can wear it

571
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: to a job interview. It's very tasteful.

572
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 2: I wear T shirts to all my job interviews.

573
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: That's the joy being a writer I have.

574
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 2: So I just came from the pool, speaking of swimming,

575
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 2: speaking of fishes, speaking of chubs. I can walk scott

576
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 2: It to a community pool to like my town's pool

577
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 2: in eight minutes. That's the how long it takes from

578
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 2: my from my from my door to being swimming to

579
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 2: being in the water. And it's this gigantic, gigantic pool.

580
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 2: I can do laps there. All I'm saying is the

581
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 2: living is good in this little community.

582
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: How's that snack bar looking over there? They got hot pretzels.

583
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 2: They got it all. They got hot dogs, hamburgers, push pops.

584
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 2: I'll have got fish and chips. I got myself a

585
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 2: Caesar rap and we ate it outside, met some people,

586
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 2: made friends. It was great, fantastic, and then we left.

587
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 2: We got a push pop. Godd damn.

588
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: It really our mission a comp summertime.

589
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 2: Baby, you got a baseball story for me, Scottie.

590
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: I don't have a baseball story. I was just gonna say,

591
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: you talked about swimming. You know, we're all about being

592
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: inclusive on this podcast. I heard this recently and I

593
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: just looked it up to make sure I was right.

594
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: Fifty five percent of the world population over fifteen cannot swim.

595
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: Fifty five percent of the world population over the age

596
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: of fifteen cannot swim.

597
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 2: What That's insane.

598
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 1: It is truly a high income like we raised whim

599
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: to be able to swim is a true privilege, which

600
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: it was one of those things you just don't think about.

601
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: Then you hear it and you go, yeah, I should

602
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: have known.

603
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 2: That, I guess so. But I community pools are like everywhere, though,

604
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 2: but I guess you some of them you have to

605
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 2: like pay, I mean, it's for mine it's fifty bucks,

606
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 2: fifty bucks for the whole summer to access utful beautiful.

607
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: I think it's more like swim lessons and stuff are tough.

608
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you got to pay for swim lessons and swim,

609
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 2: but I mean you spend enough time in the water

610
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 2: you eventually learn how to swim with that lessons.

611
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: But you'd think kids these days, when they're whole, how

612
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: are they going to swim when they're holding a phone? Kurt, God,

613
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: I've had it up to here. I've had it up

614
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: to my phone that I'm looking at right now. Should

615
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: we do some thumbs ups?

616
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 2: Yes? Please?

617
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: Do you want to tease us into one? You just

618
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: want me to dive right in?

619
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,240

00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:29,480

Speaker 2: When was this written? No, this is July seventh, twenty

705
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 2: twenty five. There's no way we could have done this.

706
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 2: All right, Minnesota state fossil is a giant beaver, an

707
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 2: extinct creature the size of a small bear that roamed

708
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 2: around the Twin Cities more than ten thousand years ago.

709
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 2: Lawmakers have approved the new state fossil earlier this year

710
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 2: as part of a broader omnibus bill. Oh yeah, no

711
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 2: bus bill, which Governor Tim Waltz signed into law in May.

712
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 2: The bill which included a short provision about the gargantuan

713
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 2: ice age rodent rodent.

714
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, of rodents, beaver's are rodents, biggest ones.

715
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 2: I thought the Cappa bera was the biggest rodent.

716
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: Is the cap be rodent?

717
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 2: Capa bear is a rodent. But I didn't know.

718
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: The biggest rodent We got the technology. Biggest rodent is

719
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: the capa bearra.

720
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 2: Okay, but I did not know a beaver was a rodent. Guys,

721
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 2: I'll be straight up, and it makes sense. It makes sense.

722
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 2: Their teeth are very American beaver.

723
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: Okay, So I was wrong, but right you were? You

724
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:41,839
Speaker 1: were right and right.

725
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 2: Minnesota is a deep connection to beaver is from our

726
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 2: modern ecosystems to our prehistoric past. The giant beaver fossil

727
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 2: specimens in our collection have long captivated visitors of all ages.

728
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 2: Just goes on. This is amazing how much the Smithsonian

729
00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 2: could write about this. Yeah, it keeps going in a

730
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:07,280
Speaker 2: classic Smithsonian magazine way. It's probably a six page article

731
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 2: with just the headline being the information.

732
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: So good job, great job Smithsonian. You're keeping people employed

733
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: and we respect that.

734
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 2: I h Scotty, I want you to give me one

735
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 2: got a great one shock me.

736
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on to your hat because it's about

737
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: to fly off your head when I say this. Our

738
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 1: very own benevolent overlord. Karen Kilgareff texted this to me yesterday,

739
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: which is very funny when you hear what it's about.

740
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: I was shocked Melbourne, Melbourne, Melbourne man unbelievable find after

741
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: buying house. Okay, this is an SBS News Australia. Alisha

742
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: Orr and Asha Abdy both wrote this, so you know it.

743
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 1: If you got those that's the dream team Aisha Or

744
00:39:58,920 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 1: and Asha Abdy.

745
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm.

746
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 1: The cool thing about those two is if you took

747
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: the vowels out of their names, it would just be

748
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: lsh lish r are and just sh And maybe maybe

749
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: there's a reason vowels exist. As I say that, as

750
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: any new homeowner knows, there are always unknown things to

751
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: be found in the new place. Oh yeah, not a

752
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 1: great sentence, to be honest. You media miss in the

753
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: biz at this moment. From a kitchen cupboard that never

754
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: seems to close properly, are curiously painted over area of

755
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 1: a real performance of air conditioning unit. Don't even know

756
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 1: what that means. Curiously painted over area or the real

757
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:51,280
Speaker 1: performance of an air conditioning got it? Discoveries abound Kurt,

758
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: but Daniel's You and his wife finalized the purchase of

759
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: their home in Melbourne's Northern suburbs. He found what he

760
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 1: can only describe as a train enthusiast's dream beneath their feet.

761
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 1: Underneath his new home, you discovered a model train set

762
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: up designed around an extensive network of train lines and

763
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: miniature landscapes. He had plans for renovations. You needed to

764
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: go beneath his house, much of which is raised sitting

765
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: below his car port. Entering the undercroft a word that

766
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: Americans simply are using a craft.

767
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 2: I've never heard of an undercroft.

768
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: Never said it, and what isn't undercroft? Entering the undercroft

769
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: of his new home via small doors, you was shocked

770
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: to find the area, which is just tall enough to

771
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:47,760
Speaker 1: stand in, entirely filled with trains.

772
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 2: Oh so I would like to say to these people,

773
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 2: you're buying a house and you're not going in the undercroft.

774
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 2: Whatever it is, I feel like that's one of the

775
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,040
Speaker 2: main rules of house bind is like what's in the

776
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 2: undercroft or what's under the undercroft or what's inside the undercroft?

777
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, the under good undercroft inspectors there.

778
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:13,439
Speaker 2: And undercroft is a vaulted space, often underground, typically found

779
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,760
Speaker 2: beneath buildings like churches or castles, and used for storage

780
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 2: or other functional purposes like trains. Historically, undercroft served as sellers, workshops,

781
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 2: or even prison cells. See that's why you check the undercroft,

782
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 2: because what if there's a prison cell underneath your underneath

783
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 2: your house.

784
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: Right, you gotta pay for it. I'm gonna get an

785
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: Undercroft Inspector T shirt and I'm going to a humpback

786
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: Chuds versus the Big Beavers game, and I'm shaking hands,

787
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: I'm kissing babies.

788
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 2: Undercroft Inspectors is the name of this episode.

789
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: Katie uh entering the undercroft of is known via small doors.

790
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 1: You was shocked to find the era just to anu

791
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: stand filled with trained elaborate train setup. To do the renovation,

792
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: I had to go downstairs and have to look and

793
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 1: do some inspections. But when I got down there, I

794
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,359
Speaker 1: saw this massive, incredible train mill sitting there and Kurt,

795
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 1: it is massive. The videos and the pictures. It is

796
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:07,439
Speaker 1: so good. It is like I think of the States

797
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 1: would call them a trained garden. Sometimes huh humongous, Like really,

798
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,280
Speaker 1: it's big. I'll try to give you a visual. Remember

799
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 1: pizza huts in the nineties. Pizza hut, yep, as big

800
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,399
Speaker 1: as one of those inside No, in all train guarden.

801
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: It's like the whole basement, It's like the whole footprint

802
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: of the house is it's huge.

803
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Also, it's interesting about pizza huts, and

804
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,760
Speaker 2: in my imagination of them is that I was only

805
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 2: a child when I was in them, and so to

806
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 2: me they might have been the size of a football field.

807
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: That's right.

808
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 2: They just seemed to extended to darkness.

809
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: This is a little bigger than your typical classroom fourth grade. Okay,

810
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. It's so massive. It's so huge, you said.

811
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: He said, nothing had been mentioned about model trains during

812
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: the open home inspect kids.

813
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:03,479
Speaker 2: I always checked the under.

814
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: He immediately asked his wife to come down and take

815
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: a look. She was equally shocked. Here's where it gets great. Coincidentally,

816
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 1: you is a big train enthusiast. He works as a

817
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: rolling stock engineer for a company that manufactures new trains

818
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 1: and designs and constructs new rail.

819
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 2: No, no, he is not, No, he is not.

820
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: He really does. His love of rail started when he

821
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: was young through a Japanese cartoon about a crime fighting train.

822
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: I guess we have Thomas the tank engine.

823
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 2: That stop getting better. This keeps giving gifts.

824
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 1: There's a reason our benevolent overlord, karen Ka sent this

825
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 1: all the way. It tells you how trains act like

826
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: people and protect children, he said, describing the shows you

827
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: has been in touch with the previous owner, who told

828
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 1: them their father built the train in the nineteen sixties

829
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 1: when they were just a child. The set had likely

830
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 1: not been used for years. The area is full of

831
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:11,240
Speaker 1: spiders spider webs. When Jew first went beneath the house,

832
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: Jew said he's already had a number Zu, who said

833
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,880
Speaker 1: he already had a number of toy trains and model trains.

834
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: Plans on getting the lines all cleaned, and he's going

835
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: to test to see what still works and get the

836
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 1: entire network back up and running. So he's keeping it.

837
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: He's just going forward. Well. Well, the separate control desks

838
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 1: for each of the different zones of the tracks is

839
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 1: likely represented by the modern technology of the nineteen sixties.

840
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: Ju hopes to upgrade it with some newer technology and

841
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: share his love of trains. My friend's children come over

842
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 1: and play. They don't even want to leave. They spend

843
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,760
Speaker 1: the whole afternoon down there. Although there is no power

844
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 1: and the trains aren't running at the moment. But this

845
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 1: thing is so big. Oh wow, that you can just

846
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 1: it's like, it's incredible. And also he.

847
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 2: Doesn't want to go under the undercroft and look at

848
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 2: it a non working.

849
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, I had to get dragged

850
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: up on my Buster Browns from the undercroft for every

851
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:15,919
Speaker 1: building I went to, every single building, I was where

852
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: the hell is the undercroft? And how does one access?

853
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 2: Your child is very strange, mister.

854
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 1: Good Well, you should meet his uncle, Randall rick Z.

855
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: Those guys taught him too much about the undercroft at

856
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 1: a very inappropriately young age. God, it's so great that

857
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: this guy loves trains.

858
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 2: Yes, are you kidding me? To find your passion in

859
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 2: your undercroft?

860
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 1: I know, man, that's amazing. We don't really have that

861
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. Like my dad set up trains around Christmas.

862
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 1: My grandfather had him my one friend's dad is like

863
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: one of the biggest train connoisseur whatever. He like has

864
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 1: vintage ones, sets up a massive one. But like I

865
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,320
Speaker 1: was like, I'm sure you'll have it in Jersey this Christmas.

866
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 1: Maybe your kids will get to go to a big

867
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 1: public train guard and just have the time of their life.

868
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 2: Oh I think so, I'm looking forward to it. I've

869
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 2: just been anticipating fall as well, and just like how

870
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 2: it's how thrilling that's going to be for the kids too,

871
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:23,439
Speaker 2: who have fundamentally never seen that kind of thing true.

872
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: Oh man, Yeah, that's when nature really struts her stuff.

873
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 2: I'm just I love it. The community all cool it is.

874
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 2: We've been here days, do you know what I mean?

875
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: And that's a good sign.

876
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 2: Yesterday I was we finally like unpacked enough that we

877
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 2: had dishes, and we've been like just eating out for

878
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 2: like a month straight because you know, it's all packed

879
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 2: in like moving and uh. And I finally was like

Speaker 2: to the little town into the little little shop, bought

00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:05,279
