Speaker 2: are so medium. I just have medium mild takes, And honestly,

22
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,679

Speaker 2: times worse people. So I'll take what we have We're

41
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 2: before we start recording that I had the distinct privilege

42
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: of taking you or meeting with you, I should say,

43
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: at the Smokehouse and Burbank for Martini's and garlic bread.

44
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 4: Yes, and I had the unique pride of I think

45
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 4: nailing the garlic bread secret ingredient yep, within like thirty seconds.

46
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 3: I'm and I'm not a good taster.

47
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 4: I'm not a good like foodie, you know, I can identify,

48
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 4: and but I am from the Midwest.

49
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 2: Is so just is it just.

50
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: The powder from Kraft Macaroni and Cheese.

51
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: That's our guess.

52
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 3: That's our guess. That's my guess as well. And that's

53
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 3: who don't know.

54
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: It is like this garlic bread that comes out, it

55
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: is just chemical bright, chemical orange and it's obviously sprinkled

56
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: with something.

57
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 4: And that is that is a flavor that like, it

58
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 4: doesn't matter if I can't get the like, oh the

59
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 4: umami of the truffle mushroom, I like can't do any

60
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 4: of that ship, But I am like, that's Kraft mac

61
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 4: and cheese right there.

62
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, also delicious. You and I knocked off an entire

63
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: love together. What a true Yeah, you.

64
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: Just did Martini's and and bread. Yeah, that's the way

65
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: they got.

66
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: That's two hours of just chit chats and industry talk,

67
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: but also just a fun hang. But I have a

68
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: hot take. I don't like truffle oil. When you said

69
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: that the umami truffle oil, I think it's too overpowered.

70
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: I think I agree. I don't like truffle oil either.

71
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: I am not interested.

72
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 3: Wow, I think it's fine, that's my medium. Take the medium.

73
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 4: Take when you were Scotty, when you were saying an

74
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 4: audience that's five times wider but of five times worse people.

75
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, you're the Tonight Show of podcasts.

76
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 4: But then yes, I don't know if we should leave

77
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 4: that in or take that out because I did used

78
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:23,880

Speaker 4: It hallowed out my confidence in a way that it

85
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 4: took me a full year to recover from.

86
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

87
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,320

Speaker 3: on the Tonight Show?

120
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 2: They asked me to leave once I was loitering outside

121
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 2: and they threw some hot nuts at me. They I

122
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 2: still have some scar marks.

123
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: But it was Jimmy Fallon who asked him. He yelled

124
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: out the way from thirty Rove, get out of here.

125
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:10,239
Speaker 1: What are those hot nuts?

126
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: Well, welcome back. We're so glad to have you. How's

127
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: the cheat run been your your one woman show? It

128
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 2: seems like you're doing it all over the place.

129
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 4: I am.

130
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 3: I'm doing it only in New York and LA, but

131
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 3: a lot in New York and LA. Actually not even

132
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 3: that much.

133
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 4: It's it's funny because I'm doing all these one off

134
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 4: shows and basically the goal with the show is the

135
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 4: goal with the solo show as like an entity, is

136
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 4: to get an off Broadway run, to sell it as

137
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 4: a special, and to develop it into a TV series.

138
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: Great, and I have.

139
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 4: A TV deal on it, and like that, doesn't you

140
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 4: know getting a TV deal is many, many, many steps

141
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 4: from making a TV show.

142
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 3: But I'm you know, there's like progress in that.

143
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 4: The idea of selling it as a special is like

144
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 4: way back burner, because if I can get a run,

145
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 4: I would rather get the run first. And so right

146
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 4: now I am like trying to get into the world

147
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 4: of Off Broadway theater, and Jesus fucking Christ, I it is.

148
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 4: It is hard to get in there.

149
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is, well it is when they're like there.

150
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: When there are you can count how many physical locations

151
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: that require months and months of time to prepare for

152
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: you to.

153
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 4: Be able to do it, and you can count how

154
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 4: many producers work in the like I've now spent a

155
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 4: year being like who are the producers in this space?

156
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 4: And it's like, oh, I can now tell you the

157
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 4: eleven people who work in this world.

158
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, and they control all of it.

159
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 4: They control all of it and there and like maybe

160
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 4: some of them are like, you know, a gatekeeper, and

161
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 4: maybe some of them I honestly don't know.

162
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 3: I don't know them, like I haven't gotten to them yet.

163
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 4: So maybe some of them are gay keeping, but honestly,

164
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 4: I think a lot of them are just like, yeah,

165
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,239
Speaker 4: there's eleven of us, and we make all of the theater,

166
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 4: and so we're up to our eyeballs in emails and

167
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 4: in show invites and no, we're not going to come

168
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 4: to your fucking show, because why would we come to

169
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 4: your fucking show? And what's funny is that I'm like,

170
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 4: I'm not even really trying to break into theater. I'm

171
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 4: not I just want to do a run of this,

172
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 4: and I think, of course that is even work. They're like, yeah,

173
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 4: then why would we ever fucking come.

174

Speaker 2: So it's a lot of tamp I really.

221
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 4: Riffed on this without knowing what I'm talking about.

222
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 2: We did six hundred and eighty one people throw a

223
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 2: tampon at the same exact time at Bananas Fast, and

224
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 2: we donated them all to I support the girls. It

226
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 4: I would love to be a woman receiving a tampon

00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 4: that I know a stranger has had their grubby paws all.

228
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: Unwrapped. One inside my.

229
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 2: Fa We gave it a gentle kiss, like a forehead kiss,

230
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 2: and then put it back in stealed it with super glue.

231
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, can you lick it? Actually? That would? I

232
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 3: think that cancels everything out.

233
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: So this is and Guinness is of course being they're

234
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: notoriously difficult in ornery, and of course you're being annoying,

235
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: So I figured, well, look into what other things they

236
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: have been annoying about. This was on depths of Wikipedia,

237
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: which is a fantastic against one amp and you should

238
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: follow it right now. And I'm just gonna go down

239
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: and we'll just chat about them. The first first one

240
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: that immediately caught my eye was largest ever mass balloon

241
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: release that has been canceled as of night as as

242
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: of Balloonfest nineteen eighty six, where a lot we did

243
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: a whole we did a whole story of bananas on it.

244
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: The amount of balloons there were going to be two

245
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: million balloons, it was one point four million balloons. It

246
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: took them six months to build the structure that housed

247
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: the balloons that then were like released, and then when

248
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:57,599
Speaker 1: they released them, they it was in Cleveland and or

249
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: Cincinnati rather and they uttered destroyed the city. Like it

250
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: was there was a rescue of a search and rescue

251
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: happening at sea that the balloons prevented from happening.

252
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 3: Two men ended up also and like Lake Huron or whatever, like.

253
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, in the lake there, And it was

254
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: just liked the balloons prevented the search and rescue from

255
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: happening in a timely manner. I mean, it was very sad.

256
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: There was also like traffic accidents. There's one point four

257
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: million balloons as they slowly lose altitude and like come

258
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: into the settled into the streets. It took up like

259
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: four city blocks the amount of balloons.

260
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 4: That was Grandpa tell me about the day the balloons

261
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 4: destroyed Cleveland.

262
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 2: But I mean even by then we knew that they

263
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 2: went to the oceans and affected marine life. They knew

264
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 2: they just because you're in the Midwest, you can't get

265
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 2: away with it.

266
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,360

269
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: no longer around. Heaviest pets, well that should be still around.

270
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: I disagree with that that was encouraging people to overfeed

271
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: their pets because people are so fucking competitive that they

272
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: This is like dance Moms, but for cats. Yeah yeah, yeah,

273
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:23,440

00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: and beat his mother's one hundred and one day stint. Okay,

319
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: I want to know what's going on in that family

320
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: that he wanted the first and he beat her. He's like,

321
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: I'm a really beat mom by forty six days. That

322
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: is a month and a half.

323
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 3: This is this is the same mom who wouldn't feed

324
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 3: her kid the airplane. Yeah, this is all the same family.

325
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, the other brother is ye so but okay, so

326
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 2: that one was just living underground.

327
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: Living underground, but he was mad about it, he said.

328
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: Guinness denied the the Guinness denied the award for safety reasons,

329
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: and Jeff stated, quote, there are far more dangerous things

330
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: in the book. There's a record for a guy who

331
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: eats cars.

332
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 3: I really, I really, I think I'm on his side.

333
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 4: Also, if they denied his record for safety reasons, you'd

334
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 4: think that they would say, excuse me, we're never gonna

335
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 4: do this record again. But you still get You still

336
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 4: won because you survive. Exactly, he was safe enough and.

337
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: He discontinued no one can do it after that. But

338
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: to deny him seems cruel and rude.

339
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 3: Ye. Also, he just had to. He just lived under

340
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 3: ground for half a year. Yeah, yeah, for half a year.

341
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 4: But also hold on, does living in a cave count

342
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 4: as being buried alive?

343
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good question, like a stretch.

344
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: Was he in a cave?

345
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 2: I mean you had to dig a hole. He wasn't

346
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 2: just laying still.

347
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 3: So you know, like the.

348
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: Longest time spent buried alive he was underground, it says

349
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: for one hundred and forty seven.

350
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 4: Well you know what I mean, like like like bunker

351
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 4: kids are underground for six months at a time and

352
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 4: they never see the sky.

353
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 3: Do they deserve the record?

354
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's give it out more. Let's not illuminate it.

355
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: Let's give it out more.

356
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 4: Let's ron let's let's you know, we want a big

357
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 4: tent here for Dangerous Ginness World records.

358
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 2: There were guys in my neighborhood that dug up one

359
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 2: day during the summer. Everybody was like, what are you

360
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,239
Speaker 2: up to? I'm like, I don't know what's going on.

361
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 2: They're like, oh, we're going to go all up to

362
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 2: the Gustafson's house. They're digging a hole in their backyard

363
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 2: and they dug a like twelve foot deep hole that

364
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 2: was like twenty feet across and then covered it, and

365
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 2: they dug it out so much. They dug little rooms

366
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 2: for everybody. Wow and yeah, And they built underground twelve

367
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 2: feet into the earth and you climbed down a ladder

368
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 2: and then they started building a chimney and so they

369
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 2: like dug out a chimney and then everybody just hung

370
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 2: out down there and it probably lasted, would you say, Well, Yeah,

371
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 2: the fun and the novelty was probably like four or

372
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 2: five days. And then the mom found out and was

373
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 2: like took her.

374
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 4: It took her four or five days to notice the

375
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 4: twenty foot wide hole.

376
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 3: In the back. Yeah.

377
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Because they had this really deep yard that went

378
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 2: up against the woods, and so we were helping them

379
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 2: carry buckets of soil into the woods. And then there

380
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 2: was a slight rise like in their backyard, so you

381
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 2: couldn't actually see the top of it. And they covered

382
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 2: it with just like tarps and plywood and stuff. And

383
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 2: for like three or four days, people were smoking, people

384
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 2: were making out, people were drinking. It was like the

385
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 2: car it's a club hole. Yeah, yeah, club hole. I

386
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 2: was probably a club hole.

387
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 3: York.

388
00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 2: The man hole was still over. We hung out it.

389
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 3: Wow.

390
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: I love that. Do you want to hear about most

391
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: beer drunk in an hour? How much do you guys think?

392
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: How much at beer can be drank in one hour?

393
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: Sixty minutes?

394
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 2: I know it's Andre the Giant. It is not the

395
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 2: hat Oh my gosh, okay, because he's got some crazy records.

396
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, I even I looked at this depth of I

397
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 4: saw this steps of Wikipedia post and I don't remember

398
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 4: I don't even remember, like a ballpark of how much

399
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 4: beer it was it.

400
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: Was within sixty minutes. Go ahead, Scottie, Okay.

401
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 2: I would guess you could drink a beer every three minutes.

402
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 2: Ill beer two minutes, yeah, two minutes. So I'm going

403
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 2: to go. I'll go in an hour. Fuck, I'll go.

404
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 1: Forty five beers, thirty six pints of beer?

405
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 2: Oh pints okay, so that's.

406
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: Different sixteen ounces beer. Yeah, yeah, so twenty three year

407
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 1: old jack Keys drank thirty six pints of beer. The

408
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: feet occur in nineteen sixty nine and no Northern Ireland.

409
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 3: And how old do you think that man lived to be?

410
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 3: I know, less than fifty six, I would bet, which.

411
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 2: Is forty eight beers. So that'd be forty eight cans

412
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 2: of beer. That's he's moving. And how often did he

413
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 2: pee during that hour? Maybe forty seven? Just let it out,

414
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 2: you just got it. It's the old Looney Tunes. It

415
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 2: goes in one hole and out the other, and then

416
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 2: how I always want to live And here's the last one.

417
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: Fastest Violinist has been discontinued twenty seventeen due to difficulty

418
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: and conclusively determining whether all musical notes have been sufficiently

419
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: played even when slowed down.

420
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 4: I remember reading that and being like, how can you

421
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 4: not tell when you slow it down?

422
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, because they all kind of bleed into

423
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: one another, possibly because you're listening for like a difference

424
00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: of tone, right, because it's not like a DNT describing sounds.

425
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 4: So the way to tell the difference between two musical

426
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 4: notes is that they sound different. You really want to

427
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 4: listen for the differences there, all right.

428
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 2: Because they do a speed electric guitar and it's to

429
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 2: flight of the Bumblebee. Oh really, I think that's the song, right,

430
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,959
Speaker 2: No no, no, no no no no no no no. And

431
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 2: so they there are videos of these guys and they

432
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 2: just keep putting the beats per minute up or whatever.

433
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 2: And these guys are playing so fast, but you can

434
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 2: tell they're playing every note. So that's weird that you

435
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 2: can on a violin.

436
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well, isn't it Because it's plucking. It's like

437
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: the difference between in distinct notes and things getting mushed

438
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: all together when it's just getting vibrating.

439
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 3: I mean, because the bow is just yeah rocket, like.

440
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm sure there's a musical word for what

441
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying.

442
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 2: You know, way back in like twenty twelve, I went

443
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 2: to one of the first vidcoons, like the YouTube conferencing

444
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 2: in Anaheim, and I didn't you know that cool? Yeah,

445
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 2: I was there. It felt real cool, but there were

446
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 2: a lot of like, you know, it was the first

447
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 2: time I ever saw YouTube. Back then, they weren't even

448
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,239
Speaker 2: called they were so called vloggers or content creators. They

449
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 2: weren't even called influencers or anything back then. And I

450
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 2: remember being introduced to oh god, I think her name

451
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:28,959
Speaker 2: was Lindsay Sterling, and she was like an influencer violin player,

452
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 2: and I remember being like, Wow, I guess YouTube's just

453
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 2: for everybody. This is never going to go anywhere. And

454
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure she's humongous now, like we would be

455
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 2: lucky to get her own bananas but it was like, oh,

456
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 2: she's so nice. She's like she just plays violin and

457
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 2: like looks cool and does stuff. And I'm like, okay, YouTube,

458
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 2: I that's saying something my grandmother would like. And now

459
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 2: she probably sells out Carnegie Hall all the time. So

460
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 2: good for you, Linds.

461
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 4: Early what early waves of any platform did was so

462
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 4: mind bl you know, like early Netflix, stand up specials,

463
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 4: early YouTube video virality, early.

00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 3: TikTok, you know, like all all of that.

465
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 4: And then I was like, Okay, I'm going to get

466
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 4: in on the next early platform.

467

00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: And I think at a certain point, like I was

475
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: named like one of the best Vine, like after Vine

476
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: had been out for like one month or something, and

477
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: then I quickly was outpaced by people spending all of

478
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: their time doing it and I was like, oh, yeah,

479
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that.

480
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 3: That really is what it is.

481
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 4: You have to spend all of your time doing whatever

482
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 4: the platform is.

483
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, just be like this is my thing. I'm going

484
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 1: just for this thing.

485
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of crazy. Vine died though, because those Vine

486
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 2: compilations are funny. They's so funny and they'll live on

487
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 2: YouTube now, but they're like those kids were doing their things.

488
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 4: And some of them are still like transitioned to Like

489
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 4: I would say most of the early like influencer celebrities

490
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 4: were all from Vine.

491
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, house had Amanda Serny on a clubhouse. Yeah,

492
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 2: we all we're still on clubhouse, the four of Us

493
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 2: house party Hawaii because they were like, you gotta have

494
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 2: Vine stars, you have that. So we were like, okay,

495
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 2: send us names, and so we had her, and we

496
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 2: had a couple other people that were flown out to

497
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 2: Hawaii to be on television because they had big vines.

498
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 2: And then Vine died and all of them pivoted to Snapchat,

499
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 2: and then Snapchat I think gave us one hundred thousand

500
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 2: dollars to put three of their stars on a Comedy

501
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 2: Central show. Like it went into our budget. Yeah, wow,

502
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 2: moved the needles zero percent for either Comedy Central nor Vine. Snapchat. Yeah,

503
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,239
Speaker 2: like there was never a crossover. They just learned that

504
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 2: there is no audience crossover and.

505
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 4: That it's not even like the ca Shay matters to

506
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 4: that audience, like the credit doesn't matter.

507
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 2: Nope, not at all. It was a fascinating time. But

508
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 2: God bless you, Lindsay Sterling. I'm sure you're just a

509
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 2: friend of the body to the teeth and I should

510
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 2: have been like, oh, I'll help bright stuff for you.

511
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 2: I'm a fool that one. Katie will Hoyt sent this

00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 2: The Guardian, so you know it's pretty real and it

514
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 2: was written by Catherine Best in the business shored Helen

515
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 2: Miren said, it's so sad Kurt Cobain died before GPS

516
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 2: was invented.

517
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to I want the full like context

518
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: of this quote. I love it.

519
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 2: Helen Mirren, who we all love, everybody's favorite Auntie uh.

520
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 2: The Oscar winning actor has made the latest in a

521
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 2: series of references to the Nirvana frontman and the technological

522
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 2: advances he did not live to see. The actor Helen

523
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 2: mihr And has lamented that Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain did

524
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 2: not live long enough to be able to experience the

525
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 2: excitement of tracking his location on a phone. It's this

526
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 2: is so good that she's thinking.

527
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 4: Do you think that means that Helen Mirren like watched

528
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 4: a YouTube documentary about Kurt Cobain and he makes a

529
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 4: comment somewhere in there about how he's like, hey, we're

530
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 4: on the forefront of a technological wave. And then like

531
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 4: and it's like there's like one sentence in there. Somebody

532
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 4: somebody was like.

533
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,239
Speaker 3: I got this cool YouTube documentary to show you, and

534
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 3: she just her brain, her brain.

535
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 4: She was she had like just taken a sleeping pill

536
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 4: and that's all that's the last thing that her brain absorbed,

537
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 4: and then it just has like grown.

538
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 3: You know, mutated inside of her.

539
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yes, I also wonder the other option is

540
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 1: is that this is her go to thought about anyone

541
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 1: who's dead.

542
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 4: She loves GPS, and she she yes so much.

543
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: When she thinks of people who no longer exist, her

544
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: first is that they didn't experience GPS. She thinks Alexander

545
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: Graham Bell great inventor Too bad he didn't experience GPS.

546
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 4: Do you think that means that Helen Mirren has like

547
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 4: was very is very sad for everybody who died, you know,

548
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 4: pre twenty eleven or whatever. But now is like, oh,

549
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 4: people can die. Who gives a shit? They know at

550
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 4: least they know what Garman feels like.

551
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 2: You know, I think so also because Helen Miron just

552
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 2: get lost all the time and like GPS has really

553
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 2: improved the back half of her life.

554
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it, like her getting her first Tom

555
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: Tom in like two thousand and four and just caressing

556
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: it and be like, well, I guess we can all

557
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: die now we finally know what this feels like.

558
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 3: I make my GPS's voice American. Ooh see it's a

559
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 3: pretty bad, great accent.

560
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 2: No, that was very good. I thought. Helen Mirren was

561
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 2: sitting across from me on the zoom chat. Here's the details.

562
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 2: It's so it's just as good as you hope. It is,

563
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 2: speaking to the evening standard proprietor you have. Genny Lebedev

564
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 2: on Brave New World podcast, Miron, who's seventy nine years young,

565
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 2: said she consider herself lucky to have lived long enough

566
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 2: to witness dramatic technological advances. Quote. I always say it's

567
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 2: so sad that Kurt Cobain died when he did, she said,

568
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 2: because he never saw GPS, and it's the most wonderful

569
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 2: thing to watch my little blue spot walking down the street.

570
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 2: I just find it completely magical and unbelievable.

571
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: Also, what an exceptional sense of awe and excitement about

572
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: the world.

573
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 3: Helen walks through with positivity.

574
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 4: Also, most people are sort of like unnerved by technology

575
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 4: tracking them and like our phones are listening to this.

576
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 4: Helen is like, I come with me. I love your technology.

577
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 3: I need you.

578
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I would. She seems like a really fun

579
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 2: person to follow around for a day. The actor has

580
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 2: frequently referenced Kirk Cobain in the past when discussing the

581
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 2: interface of technology and aging. In twenty fourteen, she told

582
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 2: Oprah Winfrey, look at Kurt Cobain. He hardly even saw

583
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 2: a computer. The digital stuff that's going on is so exciting.

584
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 2: I'm just so curious about what happens next. The following year,

585
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 2: she told Cosmopolitan Magazine, I was just thinking about Kirk

586
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 2: Cobain the other day and how he died without knowing

587
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 2: the internet, and I'm totally blown away by that. And

588
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 2: in twenty sixteen, she told The Daily Mail, if I

589
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 2: had died at twenty seven, the age that Kirk Cobain

590
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 2: died in nineteen ninety four, I'd never known there was

591
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 2: an internet. Incredible things are happening all the time, and

592
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 2: I cannot wait to see what happens next.

593
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: She has been This has been a constant refrain for her. Impressed.

594
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 3: This is she didn't she did mushroom. She did, She

595
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 3: did mushrooms and tunneled.

596
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 4: Really, really deep in one weird and specific direction.

597
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 2: And she wants to totally hook up with I think

598
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 2: she had a crush on kind. She wanted to joink

599
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 2: that guy's point.

600
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: What's weird is when asked about Amy Winehouse, she says,

601
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: I don't give a shit if she never saw it.

602
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: That's the craziest part. It's like Jesus, Helen, I'm.

603
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 3: Glad that piece of ship never knew that Twitter became.

604
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 2: X couldn't find the rehab. She didn't have GPS. That moron. However,

605
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 2: the sentiments mere and expressed on this podcast, folks, that

606
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 2: was focusing on longevity, neuroscience, biohacking, and psychedelics. From there,

607
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 2: we're less cheerful.

608
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 3: How did this podcast get Helen here?

609
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 2: I know, I know.

610
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: Let's get Helen Miran on bananas. Man, I bet she does.

611
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 3: Have you let her talk about Kirk Cobain.

612
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 4: I bet she I bet if you emailed her and

613
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 4: we're like, we're looking for for more technology that you're

614
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 4: sad that Kirk Cobain won't experience.

615
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, she did.

616
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 2: Also, famous people like to be in clear. If they're busy,

617
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 2: they're happy, and when they're not, they're like, why am

618
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 2: I not being included? I should be everywhere? So maybe

619
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 2: we can score.

620
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: True.

621
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 2: Oh, it's so true all my friends that are famous. Yes,

622
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 2: oh so bumped.

623
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: Just like, what are you so worried and upset about?

624
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: You have billions of dollars and you are in demand

625
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: that all moments. Can't you have one moment where someone's

626
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: not inviting you on a yacht or something.

627
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 2: I know, even if they find out you had coffee

628
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 2: with somebody that was like, I'll have coffee with you,

629
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 2: and I'm like, well, I know we're having it right now.

630
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:38,719
Speaker 2: Something that happened yesterday. Sorry you weren't there. It happened

631
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 2: so much. God, I'll finish this article just because it's

632
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 2: funny how they all these articles always have to wrap up.

633
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 2: Which is general trivia and it is an educational podcast.

634
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 2: A year before Kurt Cobaine died, Nirvana recorded their Unplugged

635
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 2: in New York set for MTV, which further popularized popularized

636
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 2: the band beyond their core grunch fan base and now

637
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 2: I conic photo from the nineteen nineties shows cob And

638
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 2: grinning broadly while talking on a brick like mobile phone,

639
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 2: suggesting he might well have been enthusiastic about Google Maps.

640
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: That is a big up, tycha is a big leap.

641
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: He talked on a phone there before.

642
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 3: He might have liked Google Maps.

643
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 4: Honestly, it's either the biggest leap or the smallest leap,

644
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 4: or it's like yeah, no shit.

645
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 3: Would he have been a part of this world? Short?

646
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 2: I think you would have hated it? And I don't.

647
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 2: I don't. Kurt and I are of the perfect age

648
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 2: gap where I was. Nirvana couldn't have been bigger when

649
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 2: we were young, when we were like middle school, high school,

650
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 2: like could not have been a bigger band. And nothing

651
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 2: about that band makes me think that Kirk Coban would

652
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 2: have just loved the Internet.

653
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: Nothing about like I always think, like, think about Billy Corgan,

654
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: current day Billy Corgan. Now imagine that.

655
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 3: Is a formation? Who I know who it is?

656
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 2: Yes, Smashing Pumpkins leads.

657
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 3: Great okay, sorry, great, great, great.

658
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 2: Lead singer of a great bank you smashing, thank you.

659
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 3: Okay.

660
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: That was popular at the same time as Nirvana was popular.

661
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: And then just transpose that aging onto Kirk Cobain. We

662
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: don't want it for him. No one wants that. Nobody

663
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: wants fifty eight year old Kurt Cobain right.

664
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,239
Speaker 4: Now, Season two of Nobody Wants This is what if

665
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 4: Kirk Cobain didn't die?

666
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 2: Oh yes, Chloyd, let's pitch it right now. That's a

667
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 2: great idea. There's a very infamous story. And I've asked

668
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 2: Karen Kilgarre if she was present for it. I've asked

669
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 2: many comedians. But at the there's a great theater in

670
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 2: La the Largo, and everybody liked playing Largo. How many

671
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 2: seats do you think that is? Four hundred?

672
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: No, well, yeah, maybe three fifty three hundred.

673
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 2: It's not that huge. But anyways, it's a great, great

674
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 2: comedy theater. And if you're a fan of comedy out there,

675
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 2: especially stand up, you probably already have heard of Largo.

676
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,239
Speaker 2: And there's a very famous story that one night there

677
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 2: was a big stand up night and Kirko excuse me,

678
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 2: Billy Corgan and Marilyn Manson show up and they're in

679
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,720
Speaker 2: head to toe leather. They're in leather like, they're dressed

680
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 2: like the Columbine kids basically, and they walk in and

681
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 2: sit in the front row. They thought it, yeah, they

682
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 2: thought it was like a live music night, like. They

683
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 2: thought it was a bunch of bands and stuff, and

684
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 2: instead it was a bunch of alternative comedians.

685
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 3: They didn't know how you missed that. It's comedy, I

686
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 3: don't know.

687
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 2: But whatever the name of the show was called, you know,

688
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 2: it was like not Whiplash, but it's a name like

689
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 2: that where you go, oh, okay, this must be something cool.

690
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 2: And so then in the front row you have these

691
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 2: two leather matrix dressed ghoules just and they didn't laugh

692
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 2: at all. They just sat in the front row and stared,

693
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 2: and all the comedians kept like and finally somebody called

694
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 2: it out. But I've been trying to track down I

695
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,879
Speaker 2: think it was like Zach Alfanakis and Sarah Silverman sort

696
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 2: of that that gen. But god, can you imagine just

697
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 2: being at that show and just see being those two

698
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 2: gargoyles stumble in silently, pale and just sit there silently

699
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 2: with one light blue eye and one dark eye.

700
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 3: I don't know how people wouldn't acknowledge it.

701
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 4: I don't know if there were if there were two

702
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 4: like assassins sitting in the front row not laughing, I

703
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 4: would have to deal with it.

704
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 2: Are you guys assassins?

705
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: You know it's Billy Corgan and Maryland.

706
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 3: So they probably killed somebody, but not professionally.

707
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 2: Man, I gotta find somebody that was there.

708
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: Good, gotta tease us into uh some.

709
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 2: Shout thumbs up.

710
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 1: Yeahs how one man sold an airport that didn't exist. Oh,

711
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: I love a good scam.

712
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 2: Ye okay, So I dug deep. I went back in

713
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,880

00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I so.

754
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 4: I bike everywhere in New York and have forever have

755
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 4: since I moved here.

756
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 3: I'm on my bike an hour and a half a day.

757
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 3: I it's it's the best, the best. Yeah.

758
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 4: I love it so much. It keeps my head screwed

759
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 4: onto my body. I mean, it just like makes me

760
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 4: feel so much better. It's so awesome. And just within

761
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 4: the last year I started, I've been talking for years

762
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 4: about shooting videos on my bike and just have never

763
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 4: quite gotten it together. And then just within this last

764
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 4: year did all the like tinkering cause it's this, like,

765
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 4: you know, I went through so many iterations of like

766
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 4: how do I shoot the video and how do I

767
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 4: record the audio?

768
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 3: And how do I edit?

769
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 4: And da da da da da da, And I finally

770
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 4: figured out a system that works, and so now I'm

771
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 4: I've been putting out front facing jokes on my bike

772
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,399
Speaker 4: for a while, and now I just started putting out

773
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 4: longer like ten twelve minute little like sort of a

774
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 4: solo podcast, but it's it's like somewhere between, like you know,

775
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 4: it's just biking around New York, so you really get

776
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 4: to see New York City. I'm telling people about, you know,

777
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,959
Speaker 4: what I've been doing, what I've been up to. I'm

778
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 4: giving bikers a bad name cause I'm very aggressive and

779
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 4: I yell at people and I break the law. And

780
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 4: so I think people rightfully would watch it and be like, oh,

781
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 4: fuck off, this is why bikers are annoying.

782
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 1: No, I love it. It's absolutely fantastic. And it's nice

783
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: because I guess you have one of those like three

784
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty one degree ones, right, yeah, Because every

785
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: once in a while you'll be talking and then it'll

786
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: you'll swing the viewpoint around and you get to watch

787
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,959
Speaker 1: you kind of like dodging through traffic at the same

788
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 1: time when you comes back and then you're like back

789
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: into a bit. It's very enjoyable to watch. I used

790
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: to bike in Manhattan and Brooklyn as well. I would

791
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: bike from Park Slope to fortieth and Lex every morning

792
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: and yeack, and it was it's the best. And people

793
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: are always like, oh, it must be so scary. It's like, no,

794
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: it's the best city to bike in totally because traffic

795
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,320
Speaker 1: goes four miles an hour everywhere you go.

796
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:21,320
Speaker 3: And everybody's looking for bikes. Yeah. Absolutely. Oh the people

797
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 3: I don't mind cars.

798
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,359
Speaker 4: Most of the people driving in New York are like

799
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 4: driving either professionally or like, have been driving in New

800
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:29,359
Speaker 4: York their whole lives.

801
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, the drivers are great.

802
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 4: It's the city bikers who bike around on their electric

803
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 4: city bikes with headphones in no helmets, looking at their

804
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 4: phone while they're riding.

805
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 3: They are the menaces.

806
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 4: Those are the people who I'm like, you're gonna you

807
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 4: also ride without a helmet, Do what you want. It's

808
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 4: you're only hurting yourself. I think it's crazy. I think

809
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 4: it's a terrible mistake. But like, okay, but if you

810
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 4: ride with headphones in, you are not just you.

811
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 3: You are going to hurt other people too likely. It

812
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:00,959
Speaker 3: just makes me absolutely crazy.

813
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 4: So anyway, that's the dangerous part of driving in New York,

814
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 4: not the cars, the people, Yeah, but also.

815
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 2: With headphones, and you lose the character of this city

816
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 2: because like, riding a bike in New York is like

817
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 2: tsa pre check. It's like you just ease through it

818
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 2: a little smoother than everybody else. But you overhear so

819
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 2: many conversations. And when you leave, like say Brooklyn to

820
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 2: Manhattan or Queens, like just the people change. Everything changes.

821
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 2: You'll just hear people yelling nonsense at each other that

822
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 2: you don't even understand what that's what.

823
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 3: It's like, you completely disconnect from the city. Yeah, totally, Yeah, absolutely.

824
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 2: You'll see a grown man yell basketball soup and then

825
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 2: start laughing and you don't even know what that means,

826
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 2: but god, you're so happy you heard him yell at

827
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 2: and you keep on keeping on if you end up

828
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 2: doing Years ago, Kurt and I had to figure out

829
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 2: an act two or an act three for a pilot

830
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 2: and we were like, oh, maybe we'll put Kurt on

831
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 2: a tandem bicycle and have a celebrity behind him. But honestly,

832
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 2: the go pro tech and lipstick cam tech wasn't really there.

833
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 2: So anyways, if you need a guest, Kurtie b would

834
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 2: be a great rideing have guest.

835
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 1: If you do tandem, that's gonna be so fun.

836
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,879
Speaker 4: I'm gonna I'm starting a tande bike web series. That's

837
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 4: that's the Yeah, I am, I'm I'm starting, uh and

Speaker 1: It'll just look like old big bird behind you.

847
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 4: I shot an episode with Roy Wood Junior and it is.

848

Speaker 1: All right. You want to hear about this scam. It's

00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: This was sent in by the fantastic and wonderful copyhaste.

859
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: Thank you copycats. This was you know, I found. There's

860
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,240
Speaker 1: a lot of different places I could have gotten this from,

861
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,479
Speaker 1: read a lot of different articles about it. I got

862
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:23,280
Speaker 1: it from school Tube. Sounds really everybody loves school Tube.

863
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 1: This was written by school tube community. Nobody wanted to

864
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: credit for it.

865
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 2: Sound more authentic if it had to.

866
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: There was a there's an open opening paragraph that's about

867
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: scams in general, and I'm going to skip that.

868
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 3: Here it is.

869
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: In the early nineteen nineties, Emmanuel Newooda wasn't just another

870
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 1: scammer sending out poorly warded emails. He was a respected figure,

871
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:49,280
Speaker 1: the director of the Union Bank of Nigeria, with fingers

872
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: and numerous financial pies. You'd think someone in his position

873
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,479
Speaker 1: would be content, right. Not in new Mooday. He craved more,

874
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 1: and he had a knack forgetting it, even if it

875
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: meant bending the rules dot dot dot drastically. The year

876
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: was nineteen ninety five, the Internet still a novelty, a

877
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: digital wild West where everyone knew the rules. Netscape Navigator

878
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: was the browser of choice.

879
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah blah.

880
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: Okay, nowaday, using his charm and legitimate business credentials. This

881
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:23,959
Speaker 1: is huge approach. The head of Brazil's Banco no Reste

882
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 1: with an irresistible offer, invest in the construction of a

883
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:31,720
Speaker 1: brand new airport in Abuja, Nigeria and reach massive returns.

884
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 1: He spent a tale of a booming economy, a government

885
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: eager for development and profits that would make their head spend.

886
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: What followed was a masterclass in manipulation. Over three years,

887
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 1: Newday and his accomplices, using a mix of forged documents,

888
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: fate contracts, outright lies, convinced the bank to transfer two

889
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 1: hundred and forty two million dollars in nineteen ninety five.

890
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: That's that's got to be like to have an hundred

891
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: million at this time, Yeah, almost a billion dollars. The

892
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,919
Speaker 1: money intended for state of the art airport vanished into

893
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 1: a labyrinth of offshore accounts. For a while, Newday's scheme

894
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: worked like a charm. He lived a life of luxury,

895
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: the phantom airport his golden goose. But as with all

896
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: good things, his luck eventually ran out. Nigeria's new Anti

897
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,240
Speaker 1: Corruption Commission caught wind of it, and the house cards

898
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 1: began to crumble. New Is arrest sent shockwaves through Nigeria

899
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,800
Speaker 1: and beyond. The scale of his fraud was unprecedented attestament

900
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 1: to his audacity and the banks staggering naivete. He was

901
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: eventually convicted and sentenced to prison, but the two hundred

902
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 1: and forty two million gone gone, vanished, never showed up again.

903
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: It's still in offshore banks somewhere. He got away with

904
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: it essentially. And also I mean like it's just absolutely

905
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 1: and he was kind of like like people thought he

906
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: was very cool. And Banco Noreste went out of business

907
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:02,720
Speaker 1: because of this, Like an entire bank was bankrupt because

908
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: of this investment.

909
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:04,800
Speaker 3: Because of a fake airport.

910
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: Yes, no one ever went to be like, let's see

911
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 1: the airport.

912
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:12,359
Speaker 3: I love. I love a scam. I love I love

913
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 3: a lie. I love just absolutely yanking somebody out of

914
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 3: whatever they out of their money. I love it.

915
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 1: I think also to do much that much at I'm

916
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: gonna say, whenever I invest one million dollars, I always

917
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 1: go and visit the place or where the thing is

918
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 1: going to be built. This is I like that, not

919
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: even at one hundred million, where they're like, we're going

920
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:39,240
Speaker 1: to go take a peek.

921
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,479
Speaker 4: And you'd think you would think that at the level

922
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 4: that they're not looking. That means that two hundred and

923
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 4: forty two million is actually not that much to them,

924
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 4: you know, like JP Morgan investing two forty two is

925
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 4: like whatever, it's pennies to them.

926
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 3: But two forty two was enough to ruin the bank.

927
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, So when it came out, I think I think

928
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 1: it was people. I think it was an additional people

929
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,320
Speaker 1: finding out about it and then it ruined their confidence

930
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:05,399
Speaker 1: in the bank. So it wasn't that that money meant

931
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 1: a lot to them. It was rather that, yeah, people

932
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:10,280
Speaker 1: were like, well, we're no longer take keeping our money

933
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: there because you guys are fucking idiots.

934
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:14,800
Speaker 2: I read a book last summer, I think it was

935
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 2: last summer called a Nansi's Gold and it was about

936
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:21,240
Speaker 2: a Ghanaian con man. If you like scams, this dude

937
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 2: was unh Blame Blame Maisa was his last name, Blame Maisa.

938
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 2: And this dude was so bold. He would come to

939
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 2: America and just scam, scam, scam and same thing, just

940
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 2: rip off so many people with like old ideas like

941
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 2: oh my my, there's a kingdom and they had all

942
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 2: this gold and I am the only person who can

943
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 2: access it and I need this money, like the stuff

944
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:45,280
Speaker 2: that we know to look for now on the internet.

945
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 2: But this guy was doing it in person, like in

946
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 2: New York City, and I think he was up near

947
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 2: Yale for a while. But that book, uh, it's by

948
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 2: Ebo something And anyways, it is such a good read

949
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:59,359
Speaker 2: because this dude pulled off the same thing just like

950
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 2: hundreds of millions of dollars. Scams would go to jail

951
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 2: and then in jail would start scamming the other prisoners

952
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 2: who are like, hell yeah, weapon runners because he was like,

953
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 2: He's like, they caught me, but I'm best friends with

954
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 2: the king, and the kings getting me out. I'm actually

955
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:15,799
Speaker 2: just serving times so the king doesn't have to So

956
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 2: if you want to get into it, you just looted

957
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 2: Americans and prisoners. Oh it's so yeah, blame blame. Mieza

958
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:24,919
Speaker 2: was his last name.

959
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:25,320
Speaker 3: Amazing.

960
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's called a nan seas Gold And that book

961
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 2: is such a good read.

962
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 3: Do you want to do you want to hear my

963
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:35,799
Speaker 3: my my scam for New York City?

964
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 4: Yes, I talked about this in one of my recent

965
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 4: long biking videos, So this is a tease of one

966
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 4: of them. If you like this, go listen to the

967
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 4: rest of the videos. Okay, what you do is you

968
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 4: want to buy a roll of Neon Green paid stickers,

969
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 4: you know, the stickers that say paid on them. Yeah,

970
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 4: And then you go to the eminem store and you

971
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 4: fill bags with however many m and ms you want,

972
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 4: and you just put your own sticker, your own paid

973
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 4: stickers on because the payders are the only ways that

974
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 4: they can tell whether you paid for it. And then

975
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:04,399
Speaker 4: you just show them the pastickers and you got paid,

976
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 4: and you take out as many M and ms as

977
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 4: you want. So think about that.

978
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 3: Think about that.

979
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, and as long as that roll of stickers cost

980
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:16,360
Speaker 1: less than that about you, and as long as.

981
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 3: The security cameras don't notice the same person.

982
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:24,400
Speaker 2: I'm not even supposed to be here, sir, my, are good, buddy?

983
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 2: Maybe Johnny Pemberton, when I moved to La Goes, do

984
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 2: you like blueberries? I said, yeah, he goes. Go to

985
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 2: Pinkberry and don't get any frozen yogurt. Just fill your

986
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 2: cup up with blueberries and it's cheaper than buying blueberries

987
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 2: the gros.

988
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 3: Oh my god, brilliant.

989
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:39,319

Speaker 1: M and m's too from is just you just put

991
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:43,359
Speaker 1: them in your pocket. You pour them all in your

992
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 1: pocket and then you go, they're in my pocket already

993
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:47,839
Speaker 1: and they go, okay, you got you those are yours now?

994
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:49,160

00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 3: And they go yeah, yeah yeah, And are there some

996
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:51,839
Speaker 3: tampons in there?

997
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 4: Just get your hands nice and you know, really really

998
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:55,360
Speaker 4: riddle them around.

999
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 2: Ooh, that is a good scam in La. If you

1000
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 2: want free meals by a walkie talkie with an earpiece

1001
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:04,919
Speaker 2: and some tape and then drive around until you see

1002
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 2: these yellow and black signs that have arrows pointing towards productions,

1003
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 2: then just confidently walk up to catering and craft services

1004
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:14,399
Speaker 2: with your walkie talkie and headphone in and just act

1005
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 2: like you're supposed to be there and make his made

1006
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:16,799
Speaker 2: plates of food.

1007
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: No one will no one will ask you, because the

1008
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: secret about a set is that there is a specific

1009
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: person in charge of every little thing, but then there's

1010
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 1: general things where like that person would never know if

1011
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 1: another person from another department was there or not. And

1012
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,479
Speaker 1: if as long as you're confident, you could do whatever

1013
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:39,320
Speaker 1: you want on a film set, right, because if.

1014
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 4: You saw somebody who you were like, man, I've never

1015
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 4: seen that guy on the set before. He's wearing a

1016
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 4: walkie talkie, he has a little fanny pack. Are you

1017
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 4: going to walk up to him and be like, excuse me, sir,

1018
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 4: Are you a stranger who is scamming your way into

1019
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 4: a free flate of food by walking onto this production

1020
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:01,240
Speaker 4: randomly and walking through craft services? Is that what you're doing?

1021
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 4: Because the risk of that person turning and being like, no,

1022
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 4: I work on the same job you.

1023
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 1: Work on, like I'm the I'm the executive assistant of

1024
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 1: the star. Yeah, that's right.

1025
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 4: It's the risk is so extreme that you're like, I'm

1026
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 4: never gonna I'm never gonna accuse this verson of this

1027
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:19,800
Speaker 4: absolutely batshit insane behavior.

1028
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Oh, I'm an office pa, okay, and just

1029
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 2: don't hit it every day. That's the problem with the

1030
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 2: guy you were talking about, curt Is. Just if he

1031
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:29,840
Speaker 2: had two hundred million dollars in off shore counts. That

1032
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,399
Speaker 2: is the time where you change your entire identity. Get

1033
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 2: out of that far, far away.

1034
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 1: That is the craziest part, right, I would say, after three.

1035
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 3: Million dollars, I'm good.

1036
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 1: I'm good. I've got three million dollars. I'm gonna I'm

1037
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:46,319
Speaker 1: gonna get out of this one.

1038
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 2: Well, Vietnam a beautiful country that doesn't have extradition. Just

1039
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,440
Speaker 2: go take your one hundred million dollars and live a

1040
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 2: life not unlike Kings of All.

1041
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 3: You can just under million in Vietnam. You'll have a

1042
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:01,840
Speaker 3: nice time.

1043
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 2: You have a great time.

1044
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 1: Send us home with just a title there.

1045
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:10,399
Speaker 2: Just what Kimberly Win or excuse me? Kimber Win sent

1046
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 2: this in She's Kimmi Kazi on Instagram. This was on

1047
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 2: thirteen News, written by that thirteen Kmax News staff man

1048
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,439
Speaker 2: discovers he's been paying the wrong utility bill for over

1049
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:29,320
Speaker 2: eighteen years. I'll give you the first two paragraphs, now okay.

1050
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 2: In Vacaville, California, California, man recently noticed something was not

1051
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 2: quite right with his normal utility bill. After further investigation,

1052
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 2: the power company discovered he's been paying someone else's bill

1053
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 2: for what could be nearly two decades. Ken Wilson says

1054
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 2: he keeps a watchful eye on how much energy he uses,

1055
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:48,720
Speaker 2: especially in recent months as his bill started to get high.

1056
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 2: He even bought a device to tell him how many

1057
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:53,799
Speaker 2: watts his appliances give off so he can track his

1058
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 2: daily energy used down to the exact number. So this

1059
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 2: is the wrong guy to do this. I've been trying

1060
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:02,399
Speaker 2: to conserve electricity, lower my costs. Blah blah blah. So

1061
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:04,759
Speaker 2: he called PG and E, who sent out a work

1062
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 2: on Tuesday to check his meter, and that's when the

1063
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 2: company confirmed Wilson's apartment, Unit ninety was long linked to

1064
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 2: the wrong meter, so he was paying the utility bill

1065
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 2: for Unit ninety one since two thousand and six.

1066
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: Oh my god, are they going to refund him all

1067
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: that money?

1068
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 2: Do?

1069
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:21,800
Speaker 3: Doo dooo?

1070
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 2: He says. Wilson says he was still paying for the

1071
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:29,799
Speaker 2: wrong meter as of Monday, and he says the power

1072
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 2: company indicated the air won't be corrected until the next

1073
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 2: billing cycle.

1074
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 3: Sure you got away twenty days?

1075
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:37,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't think so.

1076
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 3: He's already waited eighteen years. It was another twenty days.

1077
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:41,320
Speaker 3: You know what's crazy.

1078
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:45,280
Speaker 4: The person who is neurotic enough to buy a measuring

1079
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 4: device to see how many wats you're using exactly is

1080
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 4: a person who should have noticed this seventeen and a

1081
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 4: half years ago.

1082
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: But also if you don't true, and I don't know

1083
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 1: if I'm aware of, like, what does a unit of

1084
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 1: energy cars. You know if you're just like, oh, I

1085
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 1: guess that's what it is. I have one light and

1086
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:07,919
Speaker 1: one TV. I watch it for one hour a day

1087
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 1: and that's five hundred dollars every two months.

1088
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 3: Crazy.

1089
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 2: That's exactly right, Chloe plug away. Where can everybody find you?

1090
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:18,879
Speaker 2: And where they can can they can find your new

1091
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 2: web series and your upcoming cheat shows.

1092
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:25,880
Speaker 4: Yes, I am at Chloe Badcliff on all social media platforms.

1093
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:28,080
