Speaker 1: Scottie, you know what, do you have one for me?
Speaker 2: This time? I can do one. You sound like you
Speaker 2: have a little tickle in your throat. Are you battling
Speaker 2: an illness?
Speaker 1: It's it's just in my throat and my nose. It
Speaker 1: is is nothing else. I feel absolutely fine, other than
Speaker 1: exhausted when my children speak.
Speaker 2: Well, then let's get into it. Here's one blazing fire
Speaker 2: burns down a brand new fire station in Germany that
Speaker 2: didn't have fire alarms.
Speaker 1: Oh man, well, it's time to light this show on

Speaker 2: big Banana comedy legend in his own time, Kurt Kurtie B.
Speaker 2: Brown Oler, what's up, man?
Speaker 1: Nothing, I just got this weird voice thing going on

Speaker 4: Oh I'm so happy to be a repeat offender on
Speaker 4: bananas and.
Speaker 2: You both have wilderness backdrops. I feel a little left out,
Speaker 2: but you it looks good. It almost looks like Memory's
Speaker 2: goes into Kurt. It's like a deer landscape into a
Speaker 2: Pacific Northwest Kurt.
Speaker 4: I've got the same thing going on right now. Yeah,
Speaker 4: tickle the tickle, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I thought you
Speaker 4: meant the ears. So for those who don't see that,
Speaker 4: Mamory has a deer on the wallpaper behind her and
Speaker 4: her head is perfectly placed so that she just has
Speaker 4: deer ears. You know, I love a visual gag for
Speaker 4: an audio podcast. It really works well.
Speaker 2: I know, well, Memory, we are our guests. You know,
Speaker 2: a lot of times it's friends, and then a lot
Speaker 2: of times we have people that are recommended to us,
Speaker 2: where our listeners are like, you got to have these
Speaker 2: people on. And we've had so many people say in
Speaker 2: the dms to have you on, and I've said one,
Speaker 2: she's been on, two, Okay, we'll have her back. Well
Speaker 2: that's an easy We'll get her right back.
Speaker 4: The amount of people that send me dms on Instagram
Speaker 4: of bananas posts to talk about the stories you guys
Speaker 4: are talking about, and I have to act and I
Speaker 4: have to control myself. We had a Wienermobile crossover. We
Speaker 4: did vibe for a bit. You know, I'm a huge
Speaker 4: I'm a big Wienermobile stand but yeah, I get a
Speaker 4: lot of dms of you guys.
Speaker 3: So, but the crossover is to.
Speaker 2: Like ride in the Wienermobile, like you got to the next.
Speaker 4: Level, right what I Okay, I was in We're somewhere
Speaker 4: very random, like Middle America, and I saw the Wienermobile
Speaker 4: was parked at the same Marriott Nice if it was
Speaker 4: a good weekend, let's be honest, it was a home
Speaker 4: with sweets. And so I left a note on the
Speaker 4: windshield that said, all I want to do is write
Speaker 4: the Winermobile, here's my number, Please get in touch with me.
Speaker 4: And about a week later, I get a text from
Speaker 4: one of the drivers and we have like an ongoing
Speaker 4: convo for about two months trying to line up when
Speaker 4: the Wienermobile near me it was in. It was in Brentwood.
Speaker 4: Drove out amazing, got to ride in the Wienermobile. But
Speaker 4: even better than that, when we rolled into the parking lot,
Speaker 4: the Planner's Peanut Mobile was there.
Speaker 3: It was two four No, it's the best day of
Speaker 3: my life.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Oh god.
Speaker 1: Isn't it the same company that makes the Plantermobile that
Speaker 1: makes the Wienermobile? Did they look similar from the inside?
Speaker 1: Did you get to see the inside?
Speaker 3: We got the full tour. It was fantastic.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's the same person that makes
Speaker 4: the mobiles so much as maybe Planters owns Oscar Meyer.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, yeah. There's a duck boot truck too. There's
Speaker 2: a I think it's for ll Bean or something, but
Speaker 2: there's a truck that looks like a duck boot. And
Speaker 2: we got to get all these guys together. Also, we
Speaker 2: need a Bananamobile so bad.
Speaker 4: They're also Bananamobile I think in San Diego.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, the convertible one that's sort of like you
Speaker 2: sit like four or five in a row.
Speaker 3: It's a Bob's led.
Speaker 2: No chance. If it's a head on collision, just everybody
Speaker 2: hits the guy in front of him his head. Knockdock kno,
Speaker 2: knockdock dock.
Speaker 3: It just splits up.
Speaker 1: What we should organize a road race or a track
Speaker 1: race between a Planter's peanut, the Wiener mobile and the
Speaker 1: duck shoe, I mean duck boot like that. I think
Speaker 1: companies would be into that, right, it's just free advertising, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just I want them to be piloted by
Speaker 4: drift car racers.
Speaker 1: Okay, so not these.
Speaker 3: It's always the fresh out of college.
Speaker 4: Yes, A lot of people also DM me being like
Speaker 4: they're hiring and I'm like, I'm forty one, me too.
Speaker 3: This is a this is what is it like a
Speaker 3: leap year?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: What is it? What is the year after college? Or
Speaker 3: would people take off?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, what is that called? I know what you're
Speaker 2: talking about.
Speaker 1: I know what you're talking about. Yeah yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't remember.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't do it in the States. It's like
Speaker 2: get to work, get out and get to work.
Speaker 3: But yeah, there we go.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah, maybe who knows.
Speaker 3: We didn't get any we.
Speaker 2: Didn't get it. No, no, we did not. I got
Speaker 2: to the gap and started fulling jeans. I was working
Speaker 2: how is your gap year?
Speaker 4: Mine is when I lost my retainer and it came
Speaker 4: back and.
Speaker 2: You kept it.
Speaker 1: Mine was working at the hot dog stand at the
Speaker 1: Delaware Water Gap.
Speaker 3: Mobile.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm ready. We should do that. That's a great idea.
Speaker 2: But also maybe I don't know, we should get a
Speaker 2: smart car. We should get a very dumb, cheap small
Speaker 2: car and just wrap it and make it look so
Speaker 2: Banana's podcast that if you see it around La we
Speaker 2: have something dumb that we give you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think you can. Also if someone
Speaker 1: there's like those wrap things right where it's like someone
Speaker 1: will get a car, a brand new car, and then
Speaker 1: it like we pay for a part of the car,
Speaker 1: but they have to always be wrapped into bananas stuff better.
Speaker 1: I mean that's kind of worth it as well.
Speaker 3: Deal right straight.
Speaker 4: Up, go to your red Bull roots, Scottie. Just have
Speaker 4: like a beautiful mounted banana on top.
Speaker 3: Like a bike.
Speaker 2: Well, we do have one. We had one built for
Speaker 2: Bananas Fest and it's if I figured out how to
Speaker 2: weather proof it, that's we could do that. We could
Speaker 2: have an actual banana on the back. It's a banana
Speaker 2: and a cast yeah, it's a broken banana. Broke banana.
Speaker 2: So yeah, we are all right, let's get into this one.
Speaker 2: This was sentenced by Brian. I think it's STI or
Speaker 2: STI A so sorry s t I E.
Speaker 1: H okay on them die.
Speaker 3: That's exactly right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just say it like that. Blazing fire burns
Speaker 2: down brand new fire station Germany that did not have
Speaker 2: fire alarms. This was in everywhere, but I got it
Speaker 2: from that swing in Associated Press staff. Thank you AP Berlin.
Speaker 2: Brand new fire station in Germany, which was destroyed completely
Speaker 2: in a fire, causing millions of euros and damage and
Speaker 2: destroyed equipment, did not have a fire alarm system. Local
Speaker 2: media reported on Thursday. The fire broke out early Wednesday
Speaker 2: morning at the Stop Tallendorf fire station in Hesse and
Speaker 2: stot Tonendorff. You have to yell it like you're agree,
Speaker 2: I know, and destroyed, among other things, all the equipment,
Speaker 2: the equipment hall and a dozen emergency vehicles. Whoa emergency.
Speaker 2: I think it was like a massive fire start place,
Speaker 2: no German.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I'm stunned. This is the first I've heard
Speaker 3: of this story.
Speaker 2: It's caught off the press. Brian's gets up at five am.
Speaker 2: It just looks on. German news agency DPA reported that
Speaker 2: initial estimates put the damage between twenty million and twenty
Speaker 2: four million euros. No one was injured, thankfully. Local officials
Speaker 2: told DPA that no fire alarm system had been installed
Speaker 2: in the building because experts had considered it unnecessary. What
Speaker 2: why They considered it's crazy, that's so great, that's a.
Speaker 1: Real Titanic moment for them.
Speaker 2: Much to the astonishment of many observers. Now the station
Speaker 2: has burned down. Yes, that is true. That is good
Speaker 2: writing by the AP. The fire broke out on an
Speaker 2: emergency vehicle belonging to the fire department, which contained lithium
Speaker 2: ion batteries to an external power connection. There's an electric car.
Speaker 3: Fire extra battery. Oh think so I was thinking of
Speaker 3: the phone charger.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why exactly. The station opened less than a
Speaker 2: year ago. And I believe that what has happened will
Speaker 2: make people think and act about improving fire protection requirements
Speaker 2: at stations, said Norbert Fisher, head of the State good
Speaker 2: Old Norbert So, he's head of State Fire Brigade Association
Speaker 2: in the State of I think it's hessy, I think
Speaker 2: it's assy. It could be he precisely because there's a
Speaker 2: lot of technology and fire stations and batteries are being charged,
Speaker 2: it would make sense to equip them with fire alarm
Speaker 2: sister systems, Fisher said, noting.
Speaker 1: It was to treat them like every other building that
Speaker 1: we personally have insisted that every other building be treated
Speaker 1: as I know.
Speaker 4: I can't steam a broccole florette without my fire alarm building.
Speaker 1: I know, what's your what's your preferred method of making
Speaker 1: it stop?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 3: Oh, I mean I do. I got a I got
Speaker 3: a record, yeah, you know, and I and I took
Speaker 3: one of these.
Speaker 4: However, I had a I I set myself on fire
Speaker 4: a little bit last week, really in a robe while
Speaker 4: I was like to put on the tea Kettel and
Speaker 4: then all of a sudden, I was like a Universal
Speaker 4: Studios and I like whipped it off and jumped on it.
Speaker 4: But I did take down the smoke alarm because it
Speaker 4: wouldn't stop. And now from this it's going back.
Speaker 3: Up to you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, look at that, everybody put your smoke alarms back up.
Speaker 1: I had taken I'm for right after my kids were born.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: We had bought our house and it was like just
Speaker 1: a few years old. When we bought it, and so
Speaker 1: they had all I was like, oh, all these smoke
Speaker 1: detectors are.
Speaker 2: Brand new, brand new.
Speaker 1: We like moved in and then almost weekly there's like
Speaker 1: six or seven because they're like in every room. Almost
Speaker 1: weekly one would just start going off at midnight. And
Speaker 1: it would always be midnight after we had just gotten
Speaker 1: like a child down for the third time that night,
Speaker 1: and it would start going off and it was insane,
Speaker 1: and it was every single one. So for about a
Speaker 1: year and a half it was like every other week
Speaker 1: one would start doing it and then you have to
Speaker 1: get the ladder out, go up, go take it down,
Speaker 1: fix it, break it.
Speaker 3: You know all that high ceilings. Yeah, I got a
Speaker 3: pretty good detail. I got a pretty nice house.
Speaker 1: Every room is a fifty foot ceiling. Had you got
Speaker 1: my cherry picker out, it was a high.
Speaker 2: Lie court that they turned into very nice four bedroom home.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I have that too. I have that minor
Speaker 2: wired hardwired and if one goes off, they all go off.
Speaker 2: And so I looked it up and it sent me
Speaker 2: to this like reddit link and the red link was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: if you have this company, they go off at like
Speaker 2: one am. Sometimes all of them go off and there's
Speaker 2: I replace things. No, I replaced them all.
Speaker 1: So I just replaced If they start going off at
Speaker 1: like midnight or one am, it's not the battery because
Speaker 1: minor hardwired as well. So I just replaced them, and
Speaker 1: now it no longer happens.
Speaker 4: I had about a couple of months ago. It was
Speaker 4: a little scary, my carbon monoxide.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, scary, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: And it was a fluke.
Speaker 4: But like there was a couple days you know, I
Speaker 4: read the symptoms and it was like you will start hallucinating,
Speaker 4: and so like everything, I.
Speaker 3: Was like self diagnosing. Yeah, every just like that happened, right.
Speaker 1: It's so scary.
Speaker 2: There was an owl outs out our window while we
Speaker 2: were sleeping, right, just a white owl staring in the
Speaker 2: window the whole time. That's yeah, they think that's what
Speaker 2: alien abductions. They think a lot of alien visitations.
Speaker 1: Side, So we have one that we now travel with.
Speaker 2: Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 1: And then you just put it on in the hotel
Speaker 1: room because I was we were going going to Mexico,
Speaker 1: and like a week before we were going to Mexico
Speaker 1: and Cabo, these two people just died in their hotel
Speaker 1: room because of carbon monoxide poisoning because the the oven
Speaker 1: in the kitchen down below wasn't properly vented and it
Speaker 1: was just coming into their room and they just went
Speaker 1: to sleep and then they just died.
Speaker 2: And I was just like, oh my god.
Speaker 4: I have a weird amount of amount of information about
Speaker 4: this story. Oh wow, okay, because I was supposed to
Speaker 4: shoot a movie there, okay, and then that happened and
Speaker 4: we were like, like we had to deal with the
Speaker 4: hotel and then.
Speaker 2: That happened, like Pacific Hotel.
Speaker 4: Big hotel, I had, yes, and then that happened. But
Speaker 4: follow up is that the families never asked for an autopsy,
Speaker 4: so they think it actually might have been drug related,
Speaker 4: and the hotel like, if that happened to a family
Speaker 4: member mine, I'd see the shit out of them.
Speaker 3: Oh you know. Yeah, so anyway.
Speaker 4: I think I I think I actually talked to your
Speaker 4: wife about that, Oh my god, at that hotel.
Speaker 3: But yes, I travel with one too, so weird. Don't
Speaker 3: take chance.
Speaker 2: What a weird thing that you have to travel with? Yeah,
Speaker 2: but you know, also makes you look cool, makes you
Speaker 2: look like you're a worldly person. You're like, I know,
Speaker 2: what can happen to me at any given I travel
Speaker 2: with a head lamp in my suitcase. I just never
Speaker 2: take it out. Guys start doing it. I can't tell you.
Speaker 3: I never take it off.
Speaker 2: It's never taken it off. Yeah, in my plane, Like
Speaker 2: what are you drinking over there? Turn it off? Stop
Speaker 2: it done in the bathroom.
Speaker 4: Yet, my question is in Germany, is it like in
Speaker 4: America where there's always a couple of guys sleeping at
Speaker 4: the station or are they so efficient that they just
Speaker 4: like get up and go when the alarm sounds?
Speaker 2: Great question, but like because like who.
Speaker 4: Sniffed it out? It feels like for it to bring
Speaker 4: down a firehouse of that side, it was like huge
Speaker 4: before anyone noticed. So I don't think the guys were
Speaker 4: upstairs making chili, you know, which is always how I
Speaker 4: picture firefighters.
Speaker 2: They're always making chili. Do German firefighters enjoy their wives
Speaker 2: and families? That's the real question, because it feels like
Speaker 2: the American guys are just like gotta go hang with
Speaker 2: the guys doing three nights in a row. And yeah,
Speaker 2: they're just working out, eating sausage and peppers and onions,
Speaker 2: avoiding their father responsibilities.
Speaker 3: Right in the volunteer position in Germany, Yeah, who knows.
Speaker 2: I have to call now?
Speaker 3: Well, I guess yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I told this one Kerr and
Speaker 2: I don't think I did. But like years ago, I
Speaker 2: was probably when I was about twenty or twenty one,
Speaker 2: I had a friend. She was like, hey, do you
Speaker 2: know how to use like a camera, like a real
Speaker 2: camera thirty five millimeter? And I was like, yeah, I do.
Speaker 2: She goes, okay, great, could you come over this weekend?
Speaker 2: My friend and I were going to do like a
Speaker 2: funny calendar photo shoot all around the town and we
Speaker 2: need somebody take photos. I was like, sure, no problem, Okay.
Speaker 2: So what I didn't know it was two women and
Speaker 2: they were a little bit older than me. And what
Speaker 2: I didn't know is they had like been on falling out.
Speaker 2: They had been like losing their friendship. They were like
Speaker 2: really close when they were kids and like kind of
Speaker 2: closes in high school and then in college had grown
Speaker 2: apart and this sort of was their last like let's
Speaker 2: do something together.
Speaker 1: It's a photo shoot, Okay, all right, interesting choice.
Speaker 2: Let's make a calendar, wouldn't that be fun?
Speaker 4: A calendar that year to show how much we're not
Speaker 4: planning to hang out for This.
Speaker 1: Is it just for them. It's just for them. Calendar,
Speaker 1: just for the two of them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think they even thought that far in advance,
Speaker 2: but I think they were going to send it to
Speaker 2: friends and family. Except when I got there, they both
Speaker 2: were wearing bikinis. They brought multiple sets of bikinis and
Speaker 2: then long jackets so they had like chrench coat. And
Speaker 2: so the first one was along a barbed wire fence
Speaker 2: where there were cows in the background, so they were
Speaker 2: wearing cowboy boots and bikinis and cowboy hats. And I
Speaker 2: took photos and it was fine, and we kind of
Speaker 2: went around and they're like, what else would be good?
Speaker 2: And they're like, oh, there's like a tcby dates it
Speaker 2: a little bit and went there and then they bought
Speaker 2: frozen yogurt and laughed in different bikinis and different and
Speaker 2: so this happened all day. And then one of them
Speaker 2: had the grand idea to go down a fire pole
Speaker 2: to go to a fire department. And wouldn't it be
Speaker 2: fun if we went down the fire pole, or maybe
Speaker 2: we both hang with our legs and arms wrapped around
Speaker 2: the same pole. So we drive up to a fire
Speaker 2: department and the three of us will walk in and
Speaker 2: they're wrapped up, but they have bikinis on. And the
Speaker 2: firemen were totally happy to see two women walk in,
Speaker 2: less happy to see white boy at number four. Every
Speaker 2: white man they've ever seen in their life walk in
Speaker 2: behind them holding a camera, picked up their bigger spoonli
Speaker 2: and so we were like, hey, guys, can we Is
Speaker 2: it okay if they go down your fire pole to
Speaker 2: take photos? And they're like, we took the pole out.
Speaker 2: We have a slide, so now we have a slide.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 2: So they were like, you can go down the slide.
Speaker 1: It's like, if you ever thought that the pole was
Speaker 1: just for efficiency, this seals the deal. It's not for efficiency,
Speaker 1: it's for fun.
Speaker 2: If it's to have a little bit.
Speaker 1: Of fun in an emergence, so.
Speaker 3: How much time it's saving?
Speaker 2: No, so yes, not at all. Also, just hang out
Speaker 2: on the first floor. You'll be right there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, where are these ranch style? Come on?
Speaker 2: So one of the firemen's go sure, he takes the
Speaker 2: two women up, and he goes down and shows them
Speaker 2: what they have to do. You know, you have to
Speaker 2: go feed first, like there were some rules to the things.
Speaker 2: You don't bash your head and then it's like and
Speaker 2: then land on your feet at the bottom. And I
Speaker 2: was like, okay, and may Mari, you're a woman and
Speaker 2: you've worn women's swimsuits before. I can imagine going down
Speaker 2: a metal slide basically in bear skin and bare ass.
Speaker 2: Not the speediest mode of transportation on plow Earth.
Speaker 3: Just a squeak fest.
Speaker 2: Yeah, scoolbe And that's what started to happen. So as
Speaker 2: four or five firemen stood downstairs with me and I
Speaker 2: had the camera, they both tried to come down the
Speaker 2: slide and just squeaked and stopped and got mad at
Speaker 2: each other and started arguing, and the breakup was already
Speaker 2: you know, they had saved it up to that point.
Speaker 2: And then the true colors come through. Two women in bikinis.
Speaker 2: One of them like wanted to wear a fireman's helmet,
Speaker 2: but it was like too cumbersome and too big for head.
Speaker 2: So she's just holding a fireman's helmet, just squeak inching
Speaker 2: down a slide with me snapping photos the whole way.
Speaker 2: And so they were like, well, maybe we can put
Speaker 2: you two on like towels or like we have t shirts,
Speaker 2: we have merged and so then they started going down
Speaker 2: one time, very fast, sitting on things. But then it
Speaker 2: just looked like they were sitting on yeah, of course dark.
Speaker 2: So what I don't wowstand is why the need for
Speaker 2: the action of the slide. They could just position themselves
Speaker 2: on the slide like they were slide. It's a still
Speaker 2: photograph we did. That's what we ended up capturing. But
Speaker 2: by the time we ended up capturing it, they were
Speaker 2: no longer speaking to each other, and the firemen had
Speaker 2: lost interest. Firemen had lost interest in bikinid women because
Speaker 2: of the fighting and just the pain of just.
Speaker 4: Yeah, skirt skirts and you know, there was the new
Speaker 4: fireman that's like, well, now I've gotta wipe the slide.
Speaker 2: It's exactly right they got. They sit on a swift
Speaker 2: or wet and just go down at ten times, right
Speaker 2: next to each other.
Speaker 3: But yeah, and never came out a copy of this.
Speaker 2: You never made it. They never made it. They never
Speaker 2: made that. It was the breaking point of their friendship,
Speaker 2: that that slide just squeaking their way down. It calls
Speaker 2: this fight and then they were like, you're not doing
Speaker 2: it right and then be like curl back more. And
Speaker 2: so somewhere there is film, a lot of film of
Speaker 2: these two fighting and losing their friendship in bikinis on
Speaker 2: a strange firehouse slide. But no, I never got it,
Speaker 2: and I'm sure neither one of them listened to the podcast.
Speaker 2: It's been so so long.
Speaker 4: But well, I think healing from that trauma would be
Speaker 4: recreating that photo shoot with Kurts.
Speaker 3: Yes, I feel like the next charity move.
Speaker 2: I would love to do that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the two of us just doing that in
Speaker 1: bikinis at like a.
Speaker 2: Yeah and leather trenches. We could dress like where you know,
Speaker 2: we don't really get snow in La Apparently it happens
Speaker 2: every ten years, but I've never seen it. But we
Speaker 2: could just dress up and go around to the southern
Speaker 2: California firehouses in full tobogganwear and just do a photo
Speaker 2: shoot with without fireman, just unhunky white podcasters going down
Speaker 2: in tobogganwear.
Speaker 1: Unhunks, cold honks. That reminds me of this thing is
Speaker 1: so back in the day, same age, same age, maybe
Speaker 1: twenty two, twenty three, twenty four. I used to do
Speaker 1: this thing called Changuin in New York City, So Who's
Speaker 1: half chicken half penguin? And and it was a whole thing,
Speaker 1: but the evolution of Chegwin. There was Chegwin. Then there
Speaker 1: was Chunk half chicken, half skunk, and these were like giant,
Speaker 1: you know, costumes that we would get in and then
Speaker 1: battle in the street.
Speaker 2: Then there was Chicksen, who shot fireworks.
Speaker 4: Out his fingers, set up, you know, and I cheng went.
Speaker 4: Of course it was it two thousand and seven in Brooklyn.
Speaker 1: Of course, of course you did. And then there was Chubb,
Speaker 1: who's half chicken af dove, and then there was Chobb.
Speaker 1: Chabio was the final, the final one. But Chabio wasn't
Speaker 1: a costume that you would get into. Chabio was like
Speaker 1: a five foot tall puppet that we could control with
Speaker 1: like two and they were all made by my friend Matt,
Speaker 1: and then we would produce like stuff around them. And
Speaker 1: so Chabio loved to drive around in his BMW, a
Speaker 1: convertible red BMW convertible, and so Matt also built a
Speaker 1: red BMW convertible that he would go in, and then
Speaker 1: we like rigged up a green skiing and like Chabio
Speaker 1: would drive around. I can I think I still have
Speaker 1: the video so I can post the video. But Chabio was,
Speaker 1: you know, half chicken, half Fabio and so he he
Speaker 1: had the long hair but a full chicken body. So
Speaker 1: we had Chabio, Fabio face, Fabio hair, total chicken body.
Speaker 4: Was this before or after Fabio was hitting the face
Speaker 4: by the bird, by the goose the coaster?
Speaker 1: It was before Kurt Yeah, this was like two thousand
Speaker 1: and three, yeah, yeah, right, yeah. And so we did
Speaker 1: this video as a music video, and obviously it's a
Speaker 1: music video. Chabio he has you know, he's a lover,
Speaker 1: and so we wanted to him in one section of
Speaker 1: the music video to have like ladies with him with
Speaker 1: like champagne, and they're like, you know, like just all over,
Speaker 1: like they just love Chabio.
Speaker 2: And so.
Speaker 1: I asked, you know, just people I knew to like,
Speaker 1: would you please come and dress in a bikini and
Speaker 1: be like fawning over Chabio. And a bunch of people
Speaker 1: we asked were like dancers and totally comfortable, totally comfortable
Speaker 1: in their body, not a problem, didn't feel weird. But
Speaker 1: then also I knew just like comedy people. So a
Speaker 1: few were comedy women who were just kind of like
Speaker 1: getting started in their career, some who are now some
Speaker 1: of the famous, most famous women in comedy that everyone
Speaker 1: knows I will not use their name, and and and
Speaker 1: they were distinctly uncomfortable with the idea of being in
Speaker 1: a bikini doing this. And I just realized in that
Speaker 1: moment of like, oh, this is why you don't why
Speaker 1: I don't want.
Speaker 2: To do things like this.
Speaker 1: This is like it all of a sudden feels like
Speaker 1: the male gaze thing felt very much even though we
Speaker 1: were kind of making fun of it with this chicken
Speaker 1: and this chabbio, you still had to put those actual
Speaker 1: human beings through those paces to get the footage of
Speaker 1: making fun of this idea of like a dumb music video.
Speaker 1: And I was just like, oh, and this is why
Speaker 1: I don't want.
Speaker 2: To do.
Speaker 1: Like this type of parody of this, because you still
Speaker 1: have to have the people do it, you.
Speaker 2: Know what I mean.
Speaker 4: I mean when I first moved to New York and
Speaker 4: was getting headshots and it was like, let me find
Speaker 4: someone who will do it for corety dollars on Craigslist.
Speaker 3: I couldn't believe how the legend of.
Speaker 4: If you go get photographs in New York, like they
Speaker 4: are going to try to make you get in a biki.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: If I felt like the one episode of Say by
Speaker 4: the Bell Kellys, because literally I'm getting head shots. I'm
Speaker 4: like a little like pale, chubby, twenty two year old
Speaker 4: actress redhead, and he's like.
Speaker 3: These look great.
Speaker 4: Would you like to do some bikini shots? And I
Speaker 4: was like, I would rather die.
Speaker 3: I mean like.
Speaker 4: Immediately, immediately, we should do some bikini shots. I was like,
Speaker 4: what part of headshot? Like I'm going for off off
Speaker 4: off Broadway? Yeah, what are we doing here?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Lots of is that true?
Speaker 1: But also that vibe, that New York photographer vibe that
Speaker 1: is often working with actors. We would do like some
Speaker 1: photo shoots where they'd be like, let's put some kind
Speaker 1: of music you want to listen to?
Speaker 2: Would like put some music on.
Speaker 1: He's like hey, He's like, you guys want to have
Speaker 1: a couple of drinks, and then like you would be
Speaker 1: doing it, and then you'd have a couple of drinks
Speaker 1: and then like you're like, you know, in your mid twenties,
Speaker 1: and I can just see how easily it just and
Speaker 1: the vibe from those specific male photographers.
Speaker 2: Was so gross.
Speaker 1: It was always so so gross, it was it yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And then one time I went on an audition, Now,
Speaker 4: no bikinis were had. But I remember it was for
Speaker 4: like a student film and it was like three guys
Speaker 4: and looking back at they were like probably twenty one
Speaker 4: years old, yo, And it was like it was like
Speaker 4: supposed to be at like a club, like a dance
Speaker 4: party or something. And I remember they were like, did
Speaker 4: I did the audition? And they were like, well, we
Speaker 4: need to see how you dance. And I was like, oh,
Speaker 4: I mean I can dance. I was like, I have
Speaker 4: a history of dance. They were like, I know, we
Speaker 4: just need to like see it. And I was like, okay,
Speaker 4: do you.
Speaker 3: Have music right and they were like no. So I
Speaker 3: was like, can you give me a beat? And so
Speaker 3: these three guys.
Speaker 4: These three nerdy filmsters, which just gave a beat and
Speaker 4: I danced. To this day, I think it was a
Speaker 4: hidden camera show that like they never like aired on
Speaker 4: at NYU's channel or something, because I'm oh, there was
Speaker 4: no camera at the audition they were heading.
Speaker 3: So it was no good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we could flap our hands while you dance and
Speaker 2: we stare at you. This is good. Welcome to entertainment.
Speaker 2: It's a true minefield the entire time. It really is.
Speaker 1: And then later I had to do a TV show
Speaker 1: where I got fully nude, and the people didn't give
Speaker 1: me the proper undergarments for my material. They're supposed to
Speaker 1: have like a thing where you stuff everything in and
Speaker 1: it like gets sealed at the top essentially, And they
Speaker 1: were like, well we have this, and I was like what.
Speaker 1: Like They're like, you can make this work, and I
Speaker 1: was just like can I though? And like while I
Speaker 1: was doing the scene, it just fell off, which made
Speaker 1: the people in the scene laugh even harder, you know,
Speaker 1: but still it was I didn't feel nice after. I
Speaker 1: did not feel nice after. It was not like a
Speaker 1: great feeling of like, well I did some really great
Speaker 1: comedy work there, you know. It wasn't even though it's
Speaker 1: a funny scene.
Speaker 4: I mean, a room full of people laughing at your dick, doesn't.
Speaker 4: I mean, it feels like a waking nightmare.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you ask me. Some people really enjoy it.
Speaker 2: Some people that's their number one thing. But that's a
Speaker 2: different type of person.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's someone's I know many of people were like
Speaker 4: that's their only punchline.
Speaker 2: You know me too, Well, that's why Kurt, we only
Speaker 2: hire hunks now. Like every time I would have a
Speaker 2: TV pilot anytime we needed something that would make people
Speaker 2: like be a little uncomfortable outside, we would just hire
Speaker 2: bodybuilders and speedos, and people seem delighted. If you see
Speaker 2: a bodybuilder and a speedo, do anything, just cross the
Speaker 2: street reading a magazine. You're laughing. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Also, I have yet to meet We also have met
Speaker 1: a lot of them. I yet to meet a bodybuilder
Speaker 1: who doesn't fucking love it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1: I'm like, thank you so much for doing this. He's like,
Speaker 1: thank me, thank you.
Speaker 3: He's just in there with this gold gym.
Speaker 4: Like chefs, have you hired any female bodybuilders?
Speaker 2: We have not, No, would you if they requested it?
Speaker 2: Maybe we just try to not be the dudes promoting
Speaker 2: lurking creeps. Yeah yeah, But we did a field piece
Speaker 2: for this show with Whitney Cummings way back in the
Speaker 2: day and they sent the comics Sarah Tiana, who's very funny,
Speaker 2: to a bodybuilding expo down at the LA Convention Center
Speaker 2: and that was incredible. All the footage was amazing, and
Speaker 2: it was like Sarah asking people while they're getting whatever
Speaker 2: that type of bronze is before that like hyper dark
Speaker 2: shoe polish bronze, and we're just standing there while somebody's
Speaker 2: putting that on a woman. She's like working on her
Speaker 2: poses and I'm just producing off camera. And it was like,
Speaker 2: this is not normal to me. This feels like an
Speaker 2: alien experience. And I'm standing here observing it. It's like,
Speaker 2: Jane Goodall, I'm just like, what is this? So we
Speaker 2: if one of those ladies were like, I would love
Speaker 2: to bench press you guys for the whole show, and
Speaker 2: the bench press us. God, I want to be.
Speaker 4: Thinking about I want her emasculating you guys.
Speaker 3: Yes, we're good. We're not gonna lear We're just gonna
Speaker 3: have her, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, throw me onto a bed and laughing and lock
Speaker 2: the door and walk out. That's fine with.
Speaker 1: Us, Okay, cool, I'm down with that.
Speaker 2: I'll have my head lamp on, Kurt'll have his carbon
Speaker 2: monoxide detector. It'll be a real weird live show. All right.

Speaker 1: so you know it's real.
Speaker 2: That's real.
Speaker 1: It is written by Benita Kolovos, which is a.
Speaker 2: Great name, really good. The best in the.
Speaker 1: Amorous couple blamed for causing flooding that shut down on
Speaker 1: to Melbourne CBD. Train stations. This is the exact opposite

Speaker 2: Here it is.
Speaker 1: An amorous couple in a stairwell has been blamed for
Speaker 1: causing a flood in Melbourne's City rail Loop last week,
Speaker 1: which forced the evacuation of two stations and significant delays
Speaker 1: for people traveling home from an Olivia Rodrigo concert.
Speaker 3: God damn it.
Speaker 1: Melbourne Central and Flagstaff stations had to be evacuated late
Speaker 1: on Thursday evening, causing delays which while it was initially
Speaker 1: believed the incident was an active vandalism that Victorian Transport
Speaker 1: Infrastructure Minister Danny Pearson said a review of CCTV by
Speaker 1: Metro Trains had proved otherwise. Okay, quote, it would appear
Speaker 1: that an amorous couple in a stairwell dislodged a sprinkler.
Speaker 2: Damn. A lot of questions about that and one big answer.
Speaker 1: There was extensive flooding. Metro would be investigating these matters
Speaker 1: further quote, perhaps a stairwell may not be an appropriate
Speaker 1: place to find yourself in after dinner.
Speaker 2: That's what he said. Eh.
Speaker 1: Police on Tuesday released images images of a man and
Speaker 1: a woman who said may be able to assist with
Speaker 1: their investigation.
Speaker 2: May be able to assist.
Speaker 1: The duo gained access to a stairwell connecting platforms okay
Speaker 1: at Melbourne's Central Station about ten forty pm and damage
Speaker 1: to water pipe and fire sprinkler.
Speaker 2: Right, okay, I.
Speaker 1: Want to see the photos of them. They're the photos
Speaker 1: are not here.
Speaker 3: Well. Two things.
Speaker 4: One, if they had access to a stairwell, it sounds
Speaker 4: like it was a semi private situation, but it wasn't
Speaker 4: like you have to have access to it. Also, this
Speaker 4: is the most I've ever heard the word amorus.
Speaker 1: Yes, right, I never used it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is this is just some a learning story,
Speaker 3: Yeah right, I would.
Speaker 1: I hope there's an Australian newspaper out there that says
Speaker 1: like boinking doinks flood chu or something?
Speaker 2: There is there is uh.
Speaker 1: That is I mean, I'm trying to imagine the situation.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming it was like hanging, hanging, like the woman
Speaker 1: was holding on to it and hanging on it, but
Speaker 1: the still to dislodge the sprinkler itself. Oh, I guess
Speaker 1: if you just break the pipe. But no, they say
Speaker 1: dislodged a sprinkler. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe they went Spider Man style. Maybe the guy hung
Speaker 2: by his ankles nude upside down and they were doing
Speaker 2: a standing stairwell sixty nine and which is very normal
Speaker 2: in normal trees sixty nine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he loves he went he has a bat sixty
Speaker 1: nine where he's hanging by his knees.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, that's what I'm picturing. Sleeping bat sixteen. And
Speaker 2: when they mutually climax for the third time, he went
Speaker 2: so prone that it ripped it off the wall and
Speaker 2: then it washed him down into the sewer. Wow, tails,
Speaker 2: oldest time.
Speaker 3: A post coital cigarette set off the sprinklers.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: Has anyone ever smoked a cigarette after whoopee?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: In bed?
Speaker 2: Not me? No, No, I don't even have cigarettes in
Speaker 2: my house. I don't think. Maybe I have a pack somewhere.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure I did in the brief moment.
Speaker 4: I was a smoker in college, but like I would
Speaker 4: have walked outside. I would like to think it's the
Speaker 4: sitting in bed smoking. That's crazy to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, agreed, I understand that. I think I tried it
Speaker 1: once and I was like in high school, and I
Speaker 1: was like, man, I don't know it. This isn't this
Speaker 1: isn't like the most delightful thing as it's always made it.
Speaker 3: See.
Speaker 2: It was like, you gotta have it.
Speaker 1: This is amazing.
Speaker 3: Thumb Seltzer.
Speaker 2: Yes, drink water, use the bathroom. Just one big bite
Speaker 2: of a HOGI and put it back in the fridge.
Speaker 2: You know cold. I'm going to go take a bite
Speaker 2: of a cold hogy you want to bite.
Speaker 1: You have a post coital scene and one persons smoking,
Speaker 1: the other person is just holding a foot log sandwich
Speaker 1: and taking a.
Speaker 2: Bite out of it. Leslie Nielsen life. Yeah, there it is.
Speaker 2: I live my life exactly the way I want. That's
Speaker 2: pretty good. Should we do some thumbs ups? Oh yeah, baby,
Speaker 2: I guess I Uh. I'm up next, so I'll tease
Speaker 2: this into it. Amanda Hill sent this story in. We'll
Speaker 2: get into it next. Pair of glider spots. Dog on
Speaker 2: top of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Whoop, whoop, there's
Speaker 2: a dog running around up there. The video is very funny.
Speaker 2: Buddy first thumbs ups. I got a thumb up. We
Speaker 2: all know this person, Emily Foster. Yes, who's our good friend.
Speaker 2: Lives in the same neighborhood as you guys, everybody's neighbors.
Speaker 2: Such a blonde child, so our yes, very blonde. Our
Speaker 2: good buddies Dave and Alexis got their cat stolen. I
Speaker 2: don't know if you guys saw this. There was like
Speaker 2: ring camera footage of these two women walked up and
Speaker 2: stole their cat. It was all over Instagram and they
Speaker 2: were like, hey, does anybody can we identify these people?
Speaker 2: And it turns out it was a big misunderstanding where
Speaker 2: one of the women thought it was her missing cat.
Speaker 2: Oh that's crazy. But Emily Foster helped figure this out
Speaker 2: who they were and got the cat back. So the
Speaker 2: cat is safely returned and everything's good. But thumbs up
Speaker 2: to Emily for she's allergic to cats, so she still
Speaker 2: went and got this cat back.
Speaker 3: Good for her.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is the part where I don't understand.
Speaker 1: You see a cat from afar, you go grab the cat.
Speaker 1: Within five minutes post grabbing the cat, you're not aware
Speaker 1: that it's not your cat. That's my question, Like it
Speaker 1: just no behavior differences nothing.
Speaker 4: So the person who took it thought it was her cat,
Speaker 4: or thought it was a different friends missing cat.
Speaker 2: I think she thought it was her a cat that
Speaker 2: had gone missing like months earlier. It was like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, there it is. Fed it then like wrapped
Speaker 2: it up in a blanket with another friend and just
Speaker 2: left with it. So on camera it looks like they
Speaker 2: cat napped this cat. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean, I feel like we heard a lot about
Speaker 4: cat napping back in the days when really cats are
Speaker 4: so plentiful, anyone really. Of course, it was misunderstanding, like
Speaker 4: there's if you want a cat, I can get you
Speaker 4: a cat in thirty minutes.
Speaker 3: You know, you don't need to nab nothing. A job
Speaker 3: I can see, Yeah, but not a calico.
Speaker 1: No. That reminds me of There was a story someone
Speaker 1: sent in that I wasn't gonna do. But it was
Speaker 1: a guy who was at the dog park let his
Speaker 1: golden retriever off playing talking with somebody. Then went to
Speaker 1: go and he called it, called saw his dog, called
Speaker 1: it over, dog came over, put the leash on, walked
Speaker 1: him home. It wasn't until he got his dog home
Speaker 1: and it was like, why is the dog doing that?
Speaker 1: And then he looked at the collar and he's like,
Speaker 1: this isn't my dog.
Speaker 2: Then walked it back to the dog park.
Speaker 1: And the other guy was just waiting there with his dog,
Speaker 1: and then they had a good laugh. And that guy
Speaker 1: had to be super high because not, I mean, to
Speaker 1: not recognize the call.
Speaker 2: The collar's got to be different. That's like the first sign.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, my dog got loose once and we
Speaker 4: had it on We have it on camera. It's like
Speaker 4: my little backyard. The door was open, and I thought
Speaker 4: she was out there sunbathing, went out there, no no
Speaker 4: beans to be found, and she's already high.
Speaker 3: Hard to find cause she's like this big, and.
Speaker 4: The door was open, and I was freaking out, you know,
Speaker 4: immediate sweat, like out in the road like looking for her, calling,
Speaker 4: freaking out. And then and then I see her and
Speaker 4: she's just at the side door, just trying to get
Speaker 4: back in. And so I checked the ring footage and
Speaker 4: she got out. Was out there for like fifteen minutes,
Speaker 4: just trying to get back into the front yard. Mail
Speaker 4: lady came up. She goes and hides behind my car,
Speaker 4: like escaping was the last thing she.
Speaker 2: Wanted to do.
Speaker 3: Please God, let me back in there is that.
Speaker 1: Is also my dog as well, where it's just like
Speaker 1: I let her out all the time with the gate
Speaker 1: open and everything, and the only thing she'll do is
Speaker 1: if I go back inside, she'll just wait at the
Speaker 1: door until I open the door and let her back in.

Speaker 2: And this was on Fox ten. Written by best in
Speaker 2: the Biz Chris Williams. Great at typing. This guy can
Speaker 2: really type a story from start to finish. A startling
Speaker 2: discover was made by paramotorist sure Alex Lang while flying
Speaker 2: over the Great Pyramid in Giza, the largest of Egypt's
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighteen pyramids. I didn't know there were
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighteen. I had no idea.
Speaker 3: I thought there were three.
Speaker 2: I thought there were three three. It's an educational podcast
Speaker 2: for a reason. There's one hundred and eighteen apparently. But
Speaker 2: this is the big one. This is the one we're
Speaker 2: all picturing, all right, Great notably Taurus, often take paragliding
Speaker 2: tours over these monuments, as climbing the pyramids is forbidden.
Speaker 2: To his utter surprise, mister Lang noticed some movement at
Speaker 2: the apex of the ancient structure. I mean, Chris Williams
Speaker 2: is going for it in this article more words than necessary.
Speaker 2: We're here for it. It was a dog chasing birds
Speaker 2: atop of the premiere without the pyramid, So I think
Speaker 2: a a dog started chasing birds, had just chased them
Speaker 2: all the way to the top. They kept flying and
Speaker 2: he kept climbing. And the video is really funny. The
Speaker 2: dog is just having a ball up there, doesn't seem concerned,
Speaker 2: doesn't really know. It wasn't immediately clear how the dog
Speaker 2: got up there, or if it later got down. I
Speaker 2: bet it did. The unexpected sighting has left many social
Speaker 2: media users perplexed, as climbing the Great Pyramid is structurally
Speaker 2: forbidden due to the preservation and safety concerns. The dog's
Speaker 2: ascent was unaided and sparked curiosity and amusement online. Of
Speaker 2: course it did. Now this is the part of all
Speaker 2: those news stories where we just go to Twitter and
Speaker 2: TikTok or whatever. One x user wrote, that's his pyramid.
Speaker 2: Now he conquered it. Hilarious worth reporting. Also, that's the
Speaker 2: this is so common.
Speaker 1: This is so so common in the type of stories
Speaker 1: that we do where they just go to Twitter and
Speaker 1: then quote like hand job twenty eight and like like
Speaker 1: like that's what he said. It's like, who gives a
Speaker 1: shit what this person said about it? So it was
Speaker 1: on the site the.
Speaker 3: Tiger.
Speaker 2: They don't have anything. Yeah, the Great Pyramid of Giza.
Speaker 2: Then this is the other thing they do. They just
Speaker 2: wrap it up because they gotta get fifty more words
Speaker 2: in there. The Great Pyramid of gizare located in Egypt.
Speaker 2: There we Go is an ancient wonder that continues to
Speaker 2: captivate the world's imagination. Built around twenty five and eighty
Speaker 2: to twenty five sixty five BC during the reign of
Speaker 2: Pharaoh Coufu, this majestic structure stands out as the largest
Speaker 2: of the three pyramids in Giza. Today, the Great Pyramid
Speaker 2: is a you know, UNESCO World heritage site protected and
Speaker 2: preserved through under investorations.
Speaker 1: I just wish it continued where it was, just like
Speaker 1: Egypt is a country in Africa. It is one of
Speaker 1: the seven continents. The continents are on planet Earth, which
Speaker 1: is in the Solar system.
Speaker 3: You thought there was only three pyramids. I'm gonna list
Speaker 3: the other one hundred and fifteen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, make them up, I mean, dear Lord. So yes,
Speaker 2: dogs will be dogs, not bad, not too shad, but
Speaker 2: also having a fun day.
Speaker 4: And I looked at a picture of the pyramid, and
Speaker 4: you know, it is kind of like stairs. It's not
Speaker 4: a it's not a slick slope. You know, he wasn't
Speaker 4: reversed going up a slide. Yeah, so I could see
Speaker 4: how he that'll be the next bikini photo shoot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a pyramid called the fire department. It's that's funny
Speaker 2: because like, dog on the roof is funny, not funny,
Speaker 2: dog and.
Speaker 1: Roof, Oh my god, speaking of this, so yeah, dog
Speaker 1: and roof is very funny. Child on a roof not funny.
Speaker 1: Here's what I was at this trampoline park in Pasadena.
Speaker 1: Uh and so it's like a trampoline park that then
Speaker 1: has It was for a birthday party, and so it
Speaker 1: was for Olive. Olive was six at the time, Gus
Speaker 1: was there. Gus was four at the time. And uh,
Speaker 1: there's a big play structure on one side and then
Speaker 1: trampoline area on the other, So a bunch of trampolines, right,
Speaker 1: But the play structure was like that classic kind of
Speaker 1: imagine that the McDonald's play structure times a thousand. Okay,
Speaker 1: it went up four stories all right. It probably was like,
Speaker 1: you know, two hundred yards wide, two hundred deep. It
Speaker 1: was like very very big, and it was covered in netting, right,
Speaker 1: covered in netting. There was a small hole in the
Speaker 1: netting at the very top and eight toddler, like a
Speaker 1: one and a half two year old who could just
