Speaker 2: put up four years after I've needed it, after doing

15
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: countless hours of talking in front of a creepy wall

16
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,160

40
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 2: some setting on his zoom where thumbs up continually pop up.

41
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 2: I was wondering what that was.

42
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, different things that happen and I don't understand, but.

43
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,839
Speaker 2: It always seems accidental. No, you can't trigger them purposefully.

44
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: Whenever you try say I I think this.

45
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,399
Speaker 3: Is what AI is, I retire a lot of positive affirmation.

46
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:51,880

Speaker 1: just doing. We wanted you to know that. Banana Boy

60
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: number two, can you tell us about the story of

61
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: Nazi hunting, a love story which is totally bananas. I

62
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: listened to it last night. It's a great listen.

63
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 3: Thanks, thanks so much. Yeah, it's a pretty banana's listen. Basically,

64
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 3: the story is young German Girl and this is a

65
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 3: true story. Young German girl in nineteen sixties Paris falls

66
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 3: in love with a French Jewish boy and they meet

67
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 3: on a on a metro and like a subway, and

68
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 3: they decide to get married, and of course, what do

69
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 3: they do. They then decide to become freelance Nazi hunters

70
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 3: and they spend the next forty years together hunting down

71
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 3: Nazis in South America and Europe and throwing them in

72
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 3: the trunk of their car at one point, which seems

73
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 3: completely wild. So yeah, that's that's Nazi hunting.

74
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: Oh my, this is a hot take. But I do

75
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: not like Nazis.

76
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,799
Speaker 2: That is the one thing Bananas Bananas has a firm

77
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: stance on this that we say no to Nazis.

78
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: We like to get that the old ones, we don't

79
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: like the neo ones. We don't like anything in between.

80
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: We are anti Nazi on this podcast and very proudly.

81
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: But it is crazy. When I was listening to your book,

82
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: the thing that struck me the most is how many

83
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: of these former uh like high Nazi generals were just

84
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: in France. Like I always thought they were going to

85
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: be in Bolivia or be in Peru or Argent and

86
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: then it was like, no, they're just right there, crazy

87
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: four miles away.

88
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was wild. I mean, so many of them

89
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 3: basically just moved back to the towns. So the ones

90
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 3: who worked in France during the German occupation just moved

91
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 3: back to whatever town they were in in Cologne or

92
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 3: wherever in Germany. So like, for instance, for one of

93
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 3: the top rest Nazis Kurt Lishka, who they were looking for.

94
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 3: They literally found him by calling information and were like, hey,

95
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 3: do you have a Kurt Lushka in the phone book

96
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 3: and the woman said.

97
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: Yep, crazy Kurt.

98
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's where Kurt was.

99
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: We got HP.

100
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 2: So, I mean, like, didn't the people in that town

101
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: know this person from the occupation and no one was

102
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 2: just like, no, you're a Nazi, you can't live here.

103
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 3: I mean, it's pretty wild. I just think, you know,

104
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 3: the way that human brains operated is such that sometimes

105
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 3: we have to come up with some sort of excuse

106
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 3: as to why this can't be the case. So I

107
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 3: think people assumed, well, if he's living freely, whatever he

108
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 3: did can't have been that bad, which was not the case.

109
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 2: WHOA, that is so crazy. So how many Nazis did

110
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: they actually end up bringing.

111
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 3: To justice hard to say a tally, because it was

112
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 3: you know, over the course of many years they found

113
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 3: you know, French collaborators, German ss I'd say, you know,

114
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 3: all told the people who they brought to justice were

115
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 3: responsible for the deaths of like upwards of one hundred

116
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 3: and fifty thousand people, So a lot of a lot

117
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 3: of a lot of top brass over the years.

118
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: Good. Yeah, yeah, shake them down, That's what I said.

119
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, go get them all. Yeah, it's a nightmare.

120
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: I also have to say, and this is like I

121
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: do listen to a lot of audio books, and yours

122
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: is on an app called Everand, which I downloaded for this.

123
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: But I thought the woman who read it, who narrated

124
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: the story, Hope new House. I just wanted to say

125
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: her name because she's very good.

126
00:06:58,680 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 3: She's so good.

127
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: Find the she's good, right, and she did.

128
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 3: I actually sent her a message a few weeks ago

129
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 3: when I first came out, because it is so hard

130
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 3: to pronounce all of those ss names. I was just

131
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 3: flubbing my way through it when I was interviewing people

132
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 3: in French and I was trying to do the German

133
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 3: name with a French accent. So I don't know how

134
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 3: she did the French words and the German words and

135
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 3: the English of course. So I was very impressed.

136
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: I knew Kurt. We talked about this once years ago.

137
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: I was in New York with my cousin Emon and

138
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: he's like, Hey, do you want to go this gallery show?

139
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: And I was like sure, And it was his two

140
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: German friends Greg Gore and Julia and they had learned

141
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: English in India. So these were German citizens who learned

142
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: English and idiots, so German accent, Indian accent English, but.

143
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 2: Also with like a British accent on because that's how

144
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 2: they learned the Indians learning English.

145
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, and so they were like, h I can't,

146
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: I can't do it. But it was something belong the

147
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: lines of we were gonna go get drinks, we were

148
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: gonna go get some cocktails. And he was like, Scotty,

149
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: would you like to get cocktails? And I was like,

150
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: if this is gonna be all night, I'm gonna need

151
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: multiple cocktails by the end. It just sounded totally normal.

152
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: But so yeah, she hope new House did a great

153
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: job of all the French pronunciations, the German pronunciations. It

154
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: was It's excellent. Everybody should download and listen to it.

155
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: And it's it was shorter. It's about two hours of listening,

156
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: so it's like perfect for you. You know, I did

157
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: a little work out, I did the dishes. I had

158
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: a great time.

159
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, perfect amount of time.

160
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 2: Do you want to hear about this some strange news?

161
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 3: I would love to hear about some strange news.

162
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 2: So I did start off I'm gonna do a bait

163
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 2: and switch. I did start off with this checking his

164
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 2: banning music that's too faster, too slow, But when you

165
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: get into the details of it, it's pretty upset, so

166
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: funny at all. It's essentially Russia being really awful to

167
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: Chechenian people, and so I'm just gonna you can look

168
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 2: that up. You definitely should look it up. But they

169
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 2: are banning music that's between eighty and all music has

170
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 2: to between eighty and one hundred and thirteen bpms, which

171
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 2: is essentially a way to control information coming in and

172
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 2: out of the country, gotcha, and to keep gay people

173
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: from dancing as well. It seems.

174
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: I think adulthood begins when you enjoy sitting at concerts.

175
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: I think that is when you become an actual adult,

176
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 1: when you go I'm glad we sat that.

177
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 2: I just saw Bruce Springsteen and we stood the whole time.

178
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 2: But there was actually no I didn't stand the whole

179
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 2: time because for Bruce Springsteen, it's a three and a

180
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 2: half hour long show, and there's long. There's certain parts

181
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 2: where you're just like, I've never heard this song before,

182
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 2: and so you like take a seat, and so you

183
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 2: sit down, like, no matter how much Bruce Springsteen, there's

184
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 2: certain songs you don't you won't know because he's just like,

185
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 2: I'm pulling this one out butt at. This is during

186
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 2: the encore, So they do, they do their ending song,

187
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 2: they leave, he comes back encore. It's Born to Run.

188
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 2: It's the song that made Bruce Bringsy famous. Everybody knows

189
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 2: Born to Run, and everybody's going crazy. All the lights

190
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 2: are up so that everybody can sing along. And the

191
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,280

00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 3: So this is.

215
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 2: This was on News eighteen, which I believed is an

216
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 2: Indian I believe it's an Indian channel because I think

217
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: all of this has been translated. They talk about what

218
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 2: penguins are in the beginning and okay, yet a Japanese

219
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 2: family supported this unusual choice to keep a penguin at

220
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 2: home and decided to keep one of these beloved creatures

221
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 2: as their pet. Their unique decision caught Oh this is

222
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 2: written by buzz staff. By the way, Oh they're good,

223
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 2: Yeah good, They're best in the business. Their unique decision

224
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 2: caught global attention, and journalists worldwide wanted to interview the family.

225
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 2: In the nineties, Real TV got the opportunity to make

226
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,599
Speaker 2: a documentary about the penguin named Lalla, who lived in

227
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 2: a small Japanese village, shot in nineteen ninety six, when

228
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 2: the creature was approximately ten years old. The documentary shed

229
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 2: light on as I'm reading this is crazy, guys, this

230
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 2: has never happened before. As I'm reading, a video popped

231
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 2: up in the space where my eyes were looking. I

232
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 2: don't think that's like, it wasn't in the corner where

233
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 2: it usually pops up. And now I go back and

234
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,599
Speaker 2: it's gone, oh, this is so creepy, all right. On

235
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 2: the lifestyle of Lalla, the king penguin, who enjoyed living

236
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 2: in a comfortable home with air conditioned room, freely wandering

237
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 2: the streets of his town and eating his favorite fish.

238
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 2: The footage this video keeps popping up, so I'll just

239
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 2: talk about it. I've seen the video, Like all it

240
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 2: is is an article describing a video that we're gonna post.

241
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 2: It is a king penguin, so that's kind of like

242
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 2: an emperor penguin. They're really tall, they're probably like come

243
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,599
Speaker 2: up to almost like your waist. And he just like

244
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 2: is in a room and then this Japanese woman opens

245
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 2: the door, sliding glass door and he like waddles out

246
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 2: and then she puts a backpack on him that's a

247
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 2: pengu backpack. That's a penguin. So he has a penguin

248
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 2: backpack on a penguin and then she like ties it

249
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: so it can't fall off. And then he just walks

250
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 2: from their house into town, which seems like it's like,

251
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 2: I don't know, like fifteen to twenty minute wattle for him. Yeah,

252
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 2: and it's a wattle street. It's a long wattle. He

253
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 2: goes into a fish store by him, say, he's all

254
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 2: by himself the whole time. They give him a fish,

255
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 2: he eats it. Then they get put another fish in

256
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 2: a plastic bag, put it in his backpack, and then

257
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 2: he just like wattles home. On the way, he sees

258
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 2: someone like washing the street down with a hose and

259
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 2: like makes a noise and then the guy just like

260
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 2: sprays him down and he like has fun with it

261
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 2: and then walks back. They take the fish and he

262
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 2: gets to eat the second fish when he gets home.

263
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 2: And it is this it's very reminiscent of the penguins

264
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 2: who were going to the sushi store in New Zealand.

265
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 2: We did a long time ago, but I've never seen

266
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 2: anything like it. It's a delightful video. I'm talking about

267
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 2: it just so we can show.

268
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: You the video.

269
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 3: I love this. I want to know what kind of

270
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 3: currency he's exchanging for these fish, Like, is I he?

271
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 3: Is he going back? Does he have bigger deals? He's due?

272
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 3: You know, what's the long term? Yeah?

273
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 2: Apparently I think they put money in his little backpack,

274
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 2: in his little penguin backpack. And also apparently this was

275
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 2: an injured penguin that they found.

276
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, it's the cutest thing I ever heard

277
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 3: I know.

278
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 2: But also they don't say how they found it or

279
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 2: where they found it. Is definitely a penguin who lives

280
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 2: in the antarctict.

281
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's being held hostage by these people and put

282
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 3: into a penguin backpack.

283
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 2: Is the dark, Yeah, in a very hot and humid town.

284
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 2: It seems like I hope Laala was happy. Lala died

285
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety eight, so just two years after the video,

286
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 2: but it's been It's a pretty great video and we'll

287
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 2: post it now.

288
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 3: Give them this context. I like to think that Lala

289
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 3: is really harried and like being forced to wattle these

290
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 3: fifteen minutes to get the one fucking fish and come back.

291
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 2: Oh God, I hear that narrative.

292
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is my dark journalist to instinct here, this

293
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 3: is what happened.

294
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: Will enjoy food more than humans? Do you think that

295
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: La la eating that first fish? It is the absolute

296
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: pinnacle of everything.

297
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 4: It must be right, Like, I mean, I had a

298
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 4: Labrador Retriever and those I mean all dogs of food,

299
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 4: but Labrador is more than any dog.

300
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 3: It's like the best thing that's ever happened. And this

301
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 3: dog would eat the same food every day and it

302
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 3: would be like so excited, eat it in two seconds,

303
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 3: just so so I think.

304
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, my friend Reggie's sort of that way to

305
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: know that I'm thinking about it.

306
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 2: But also when I like, if I'm making a turkey sandwich,

307
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 2: for instance, Zelda will sit down and wait patiently, and

308
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 2: then I'll throw a little piece and she will eat,

309
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 2: She'll swap, She'll chomp it and swallow it with such

310
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 2: speed that I'm positive it did not there was no tasting.

311
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 2: Thing is the joy is the simple joy of it

312
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 2: going into the stomach, because there's no tasting. I feel

313
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 2: like with most dog eating you might be right.

314
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: I just I just feel like you can train animals

315
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: with food. But maybe it's maybe us too. Maybe it's

316
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: just the benefit of being in society where food is

317
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: readily available. It's we've changed our what the high water

318
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: mark has shifted for us?

319
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 2: Oh, this is something that I've been trying to figure

320
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 2: out how to talk about and stand up. But like

321
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 2: when does our brains and bodies, Like our brains are

322
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 2: so evolutionarily based that like when do they catch When

323
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 2: does our brain and body catch up with the refrigerator?

324
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 2: Like instead of instead of like when you eat a big, big,

325
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 2: heavy meal, your body's like we might not eat again

326
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 2: for we know, we don't know when food will come.

327
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 2: We got to make it all into fat, and it's

328
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 2: like there's a frigerator, Like when do we brains catch

329
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 2: up with that where it's like when you eat a

330
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 2: big meal, it's just like I got a lot of calories.

331
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 2: You get's like you're on coke or something. You can

332
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 2: just like throw a car or something like you should

333
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 2: just have I got so many calories, I couldn't do anything.

334
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 3: I feel like we need another ten thousand years.

335
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: That's true. Just when you're writing so for something like

336
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: Nazi hunting, you know there's some real heaviness to these

337
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 1: stories and a lot of you know, there are a

338
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: lot of people dying and you and there's a lot

339
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: of writing about people getting sent to Auschwitz. And like,

340
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: when you're writing something heavy or any story, do you

341
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: take breaks for yourself to get away? And what do

342
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: you do when you do that?

343
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 3: Good question? I mean, much like La La de Penguin,

344
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 3: I'm very food treat oriented, so I did take Like

345
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 3: I live in Paris, so I would go to a

346
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 3: cafe a have some wine, have some cheese. Because it

347
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 3: was a pretty brutal, it was a pretty brutal research process.

348
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 3: I've spent about six weeks in the the Holocaust world

349
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 3: here in Paris and the archives, which is amazing to

350
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 3: be with the primary stores documents, but it's it's tough

351
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 3: to kind of do all the time. But in terms

352
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 3: of breaks, I mean, I'm a nerd. I've always been

353
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 3: a nerd, So like I like to read in my

354
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 3: free time, I love to knit. I was actually knit

355
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 3: a sweater for my friend's dog while I was writing

356
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 3: this story.

357
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: There we go. Yeah, that's what I'm talking. That's the

358
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: real Stuff's a good break. You gotta take a you

359
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: gotta take a mental health break to go like this

360
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,959
Speaker 1: is dark. I need a little bit of an escape.

361
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: Yeah all right, Well I only wondered because this story

362
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: talking about food. Alex Hartley sent this in and it's

363
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: just about another legendary artist who took little breaks. Legendary

364
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 1: tenor Luciano Pavati used to keep secret cachets of pasta

365
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: on the side of the stage. Trust me, I was

366
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: all in time. This was sent yeah by Alex Hartley

367
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: sent this in. This was in the Selma Sun, but

368
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: it was in time of times of New India everywhere

369
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: and they all had the same writer. By celebritainment, celebritainment

Speaker 1: Yeah, best in the biz. The late rip Luciano Pavati

376
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: used to keep secret cachets of pasta on the side

377
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: of the stage so he could snack between his songs.

378
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 2: I'm surprised he's not still alive.

379
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 1: Shocking.

380
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 3: I don't know what kind of pasta.

381
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: Yes, the legendary tenor who died of cancer in two

382
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: thousand and one. I would have guessed twenty twelve. I mean,

383
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: that's just I'm not up on my tenor it was

384
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: like me neither. He was aged seventy one, had an

385
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: insatiable appetite and insisted on having food tucked out of

386
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: sight from the audience so he could indulge his hunger

387
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: during concerts. I sold this, I do love it.

388
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 2: Is there a chance these were like four hour long performances.

389
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 2: There is a slight chance that's true.

390
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: Sure, And he is hitting some notes. So that guy needs,

391
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: you know, you need, you need some wood in that

392
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: stove to keep it burning. Sources told the New York

393
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: Post newspaper Page six column that during a backstage tour

394
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: of the Metropolitan Opera House, director Peter Gelb told guests

395
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: quote Pavatti, who had an insatiable appetite, kept secret cash

396
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: us of his favorite pasta in the wings, just the

397
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: same thing we've said four or five times, so that

398
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: he could wander off stage between songs and have a snack.

399
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: The director was giving a tour Friends Society for the

400
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: Friends of Society Grand Dame of Grand Dame Barbara Toburt,

401
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: who is set to be honored blah blah blah. Back

402
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy six, Pavaratti told reporters how he had

403
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: gone on a diet with the help of his medical

404
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: staff in Modina. That it allowed him to have only

405
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: eighteen hundred calories a day, and that included just sixty

406
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: grams of pasta. That must be tough.

407
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 3: I'm trying to picture what sixty grams of past even

408
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 3: looks like.

409
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's sixty little baggies.

410
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 3: All poured together.

411
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: He noted to The New York Times at the time

412
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 1: that that is one sixth of what he had normally

413
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: been eating. But I can't have everything, Pavarotti said, It's

414
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: just that everything. Oh, I can have everything, It's just

415
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: that everything now must be little. The Italian opersoner also

416
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: spoke of how much he loved eating. He said, one

417
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: of the very best things about life is the way

418
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: we must regularly stop whatever it is we're doing, a

419
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 1: devote our attention to eating.

420
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 3: I agree, amen, I'm still now. The way that it's

421
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 3: presented makes me feel like there was specific police in

422
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 3: the theater, in the opera house that this was being capped.

423
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 3: I like to think it was in like a little

424
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 3: inlay and a special, tiny, tiny sixty grand bowl.

425
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. And do you ever think there was a

426
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: time where like a spaghetti noodle was too long and

427
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: the music was coming back, slurping it up, and he's

428
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 1: like stalling and he's slurping and his bow tie spinning

429
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: and his face is turning red. Also, the way that

430
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: the article.

431
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 2: Is written, it says so that he could wander off

432
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 2: the stage, which is such a funny way. He's singing

433
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 2: and they're like, wait, wait, where is he going. He's

434
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 2: just slowly sliding over to the side of the midding

435
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 2: no while singing. Yeah, there used to be I remember

436
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 2: when when we did the Aspen US Arts Comedy Festival.

437
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 2: It was with big comedy Festival that HBO put on

438
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 2: an Aspen. I don't know what year with this was

439
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 2: two thousand and five maybe four. They had, because Aspen's

440
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 2: so high up on the side of the stage on

441
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 2: every stage, they had oxygen tanks so that you could,

442
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 2: like if you got winded while you were performing, you

443
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 2: come and like hit it. And I remember this David Gorman,

444
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 2: this guy David Gorman who did an amazing, amazing one

445
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 2: man show. At a certain point he like used it

446
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 2: dramatically you just like hit like he was like making

447
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 2: points and then just grabbed it and sucked on it

448
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 2: for a little while and it was like such a

449
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 2: delightful little you know, work in work into Yeah. I

450
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 2: really just trailed off.

451
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: With whatygen bar in Vegas because we all thought it

452
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: was stupid? And then I did it and I was like,

453
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: actually that was kind of fun.

454
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 3: Really, and again, really, what is an oxygen bar?

455
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: Flavored oxygen? You put on masks that have a little

456
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: bit more oxygen than what's normally what we're normally breathing.

457
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: It's not even like that much more, maybe like five

458
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: percent more, but it just kind of gives you a

459
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 1: little energy rush, like yeah, like it chugged a Red

460
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: Bull or something good.

461
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 3: I've lived outside of America for t because this is

462
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 3: so to me.

463
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: Also, Vegas is in America. I mean Vegas is besides

464
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: the Miami Grill at the Walmart that pit balloons. It's

465
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: not US, it's not.

466
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 2: But that one specific place is very US. Yeah, I'll

467
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 2: tease us into some thumbs up ex count let me see. Well,

468
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to do another stupid one, but I can't

469
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 2: help it.

470
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: It's a dumb podcast.

471
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 2: It's a dumb podcast. TV outlet accidentally airs man's testicles

472
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 2: during solar eclipse coverage.

473
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: I almost did this one too. This is if you

Speaker 1: I just want to give one myself thumbs up to Melissa.

478
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: I was at a bar with Alson Fields last night,

479
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: Curdie b I was a Capri club and a woman

Speaker 1: Khan Azzadi, who wrote and performed our theme song for Bananas.

485
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: I would argue it's the best theme song in all

486
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: of podcasting. Miss Catherine says her seven year old son Hugo,

487
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: has been singing the Banana's theme song for days. He

488
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: said that the Banana's theme song is almost as good

489
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: as Fireball by Pitbull, which is the pinnacle of music.

490
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: To Hugo, son, you're the dude. Thank you so much.

00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: Natalie Beale is thumbing herself up for finishing a first

507
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: draft of a novel. She says it will likely never

508
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: leave the drawards in and nobody will probably ever read it,

509
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: but she's proud of herself for cobbling it together and

510
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: finishing it with her own two hands.

511
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,919

00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 2: and is it called everand or ever?

516
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 3: And that's a great question, but I wish I had

517
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,959
Speaker 3: the answer to I'm gonna say it's like a tomato

518
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 3: tomato thing.

519
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,880
Speaker 1: Great, it's perfect, it's good answer. That's right. How many

520
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: stories do you have to work on it one time?

521
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: These days journalists do when you cover in four or

522
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: five things at one time, or do you get to

523
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,239
Speaker 1: focus on one really big one.

524
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 3: It depends. I like these kind of ultra long form

525
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 3: things because I work then I can work on just

526
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 3: one thing. But a lot of the time I'll do

527
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 3: is I'll do a silly thing and a dark thing

528
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 3: at the same time. So when I was writing this,

529
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 3: my kind of silly thing was I'm obsessed with bats,

530
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 3: and so I was writing along. But now I'm still

531
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 3: working on story about how awesome bats are.

532
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: That's kind of therefore.

533
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and in France, actually this is pretty wild. There

534
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 3: is a bat police. I mean they're not just for

535
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 3: the bats, but they protect all why animals. And these

536
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 3: are fully armed police that go around prosecuting crimes against bats.

537
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 2: Whoa god, what is a crime against a bat? Like

538
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 2: swatting at it with a broom on the end of it.

539
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 3: That would count room with a room without a sock.

540
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 4: Uh.

541
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 3: One of the biggest ones is that people will shoot

542
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 3: at bats for target practice for like paintball.

543
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 4: What.

544
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's cruel.

545
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is cool. There was an influencer who broke

546
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 3: into a bat cave. That's also a crime.

547
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 2: Oh, I can understand that. So what's your favorite back

548
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 2: bat fact?

549
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 3: That it's so hard to choose? I can have a

550
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 3: whole podcast called.

551
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 2: Okay tell us tenat Facts.

552
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 3: The first one that comes to mind is that bats

553
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 3: actually prolonged the Civil War because they're guano can be

554
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 3: used to turn into saltpeter, which is used to make bombs.

555
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: That's their poop exactly, that's their boop.

556
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 3: Their poop makes bombs. And so there was this huge

557
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 3: cave I think in Texas during the war and they

558
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 3: were just collecting guano from it, and this is how

559
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 3: the Confederates were able to continue long after they did

560
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 3: not have the money for bombs or not bombs.

561
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: I guess crazy from that must be it must be

562
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: where you're like, you're that guy Tho's Texans or batshit

563
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: crazy like that. If that is true, I'm going to look.

564
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 3: It up at Also, I feel like I should stick cannons,

565
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 3: not bombs, because it definitely wasn't bombs at the time.

566
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 3: It would have been some other kind of you know, warfare, explosive,

567
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 3: thank you, thank you. Yeah, that's a good one. Another

568
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 3: one I really love is that that formed their own daycare.

Speaker 3: So like every year that's form these meeting these meeting

575
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 2: they think for that.

576
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 3: I mean in so far as like evolutionarily, I think, yeah,

Speaker 2: Well, speaking of bald, ah, here it is Mexican TV

596
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 2: outlet accidentally airs man's testicles during solar eclipse coverage.

597
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:29,480

600
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 2: You know, look, guys, do we look for articles not

00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 2: in the New York Posts? We sure you do.

602
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 3: We do.

603
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 2: We find ones as snappily written, We don't, We really don't.

604
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 2: This was written by Ronnie Reyes. Thank you, Ronnie, so good.

605
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 2: Here's why, here's why we go to the post. This

608
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 3: I always like to think of, like what was the

609
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 3: headline that the New York coos did not choose? Was like.

610
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 2: They're like we can't. We simply can't. A Mexican news

611
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 2: outlet is garnering ridicule online because it accidentally aired a

612
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 2: man's testicles when presenting viewers submitted footage of Monday solar eclipse.

613
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 2: Fantastic RCG Media's twenty four to seven twenty four to

00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 2: the celestial phenomenon, only to fall prey to a well

617
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 2: known prank. In Latin America, the local La van Guardia

618
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 2: newspaper reported, as the male host was listing the cities

619
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 2: from where the eclipse could be enjoyed, the clips being

620
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 2: presented on the left side of the screen cut to

621
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 2: a man blocking on the some of his testicles and

623
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 2: is fully like you see legs coming into view and

624
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 2: then it just blocks out the sun. I mean, yeah,

625
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 2: there is there's no way anyone who was watching these

626
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 2: clips wasn't aware. It wasn't like subtly done. It was

627
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 2: very clearly what it was, and one of one of

628
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 2: the two female anchors could be heard gas van shock

629
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 2: while her male colleague carried on ignoring the obscene image.

630
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 2: The clip was quickly taken off the screen, with the

631
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 2: mail anchor explaining the clips were submitted by viewers, as

632
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 2: he admitted that the fervor to include fans experience can

633
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 2: lead to embarrassing situations for broadcasters. It is not uncommon

634
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 2: for people to share clips of a so called testicular

635
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 2: eclipse during a solar event. What I did not know

636
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 2: this is oh it started during the ninety twenty nineteen

637
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 2: eclips in Chile. Even Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee has

638
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 2: gotten in on the risk a gag, posting a similar

639
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 2: video on his Instagram. Just before taking it down, Mirror said,

640
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 2: you know.

641
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: We've seen everything that guy's already got.

642
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 3: Say that already feels pretty up his alley regardless of

643
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 3: the eclipse.

644
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Tommy Lee, wait to inject yourself back into the news.

645
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: Cycle in the strangest way possible, in the.

646
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 2: Very strangest way.

647
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: Damn, that is so funny. I mean, yes, it's gross,

648
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 1: nobody wants to see it, but also hilarious, so stupid,

649
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: it's so dumb that it's like a trend down there.

650
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 2: Did anybody get to see either this or the last eclipse,

651
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 2: the partial one or the full one? Anybody?

652
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:37,800
Speaker 3: I didn't know.

653
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: No, you can see anything over there. Yeah, it wasn't

654
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: over there now. Yeah, I watched it. I thought it

655
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: was cool. I got those glasses that you get from

656
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: the library, and I realized as I was looking at it,

657
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: I think the peak in LA was like eleven eleven

658
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: or eleven twelve am. It's pretty early. But I watched

659
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: it for probably an hour and about ten minutes into

660
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: like glancing up at it every now and then I

661
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: realized I'd never looked at the sun before, like you

662
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: stared at the sun. And those glasses I got, I

663
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 1: hope they were because apparently there was a spike in

664
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: Google searches within hours of the eclipse about eye damage,

665
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 1: like yeah, like a huge.

666
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 2: Course of course there was. I saw one tweet which

667
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 2: it was like ophthalmologist the well you're gonna need polarized

668
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 2: lenses if you're going to the beach. These glasses are

669
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty five dollars. Hey, here's two dollars.

670
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:29,720
Speaker 2: Stare at the sunny.

671
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 3: Don't ask how they worked at it.

672
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: It was cool, Kurt, did you look at it?

673
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 2: I saw the one that happened a couple of months ago,

674
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 2: which was like a three quarters in La We went,

675
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 2: and I thought the most interesting thing about it was

676
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,760
Speaker 2: that there was a tree, and so as it was happening,

677
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 2: like at the peak, the sun was coming through tree,

678
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 2: a tree and painting painting. That's how it does painting

679
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 2: shadows on the wall, and the shadows are all eclipse shadows,

680
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:01,760
Speaker 2: which is fascinating and cool.

681
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:04,399
Speaker 1: I thought that was a I thought it was cool

682
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: that so many people got into a lot of my

683
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: friends like took their kids out of school to watch it,

684
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: Like it's great. I don't know. I'm glad we care

685
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: it all. To be honest, it's one hundred percent the

686
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,919
Speaker 1: natural world is still interesting to a majority of people.

687
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: It's a huge victory.

688
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 2: Also, then it's like it's like everybody acknowledging that, like

689
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 2: that we're on a globe spinning in space. It's all round,

690
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,760
Speaker 2: it's not flat, you know, it's just like, oh, thank goodness,

691
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 2: that's nice for all of us. Have you ever seen

692
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 2: an eclipse or any celestial event?

693
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: Chesso your mind out, I'm trying to think.

694
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 3: I don't think so. I definitely looked at the sun

695
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 3: when I was a kid, though, but without those library glasses. No, no,

696
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 3: I'm still alive. I can still see.

697
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 2: You're good, right, You're doing absolutely fantastic.

698
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 3: I know. I was just gonna say, I know that

699
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 3: you love the New York Post, and I have to

700
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 3: give you some credit because I use that as a

701
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 3: source from time to time. You can find, like some

702
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 3: good stories. I love to write about con artists. And

703
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 3: I found a couple absolutely batshit stuff that I first

704
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 3: found in the New York coast, like a Texas influencer

705
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 3: who's retreat I then went undercover at it was pretty.

706
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 2: Wild that Oh my god, that sounds fascinating.

707
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 3: It was absolutely wild. So she her name is Brittany Dawn.

708
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 3: She her grift was that she was a fitness influencer,

709
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 3: like a bodybuilder, and she was selling three hundred dollars

710
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,800
Speaker 3: a month fitness plans. Except it turns out all she

711
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 3: was doing was sending these automated like you've got this

712
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 3: babe text to these women that I had spent three hundred.

713
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 2: Dollars, which three hundred a month, a month, which.

714
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 3: As we know, is how you get in shape. It

715
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 3: is with it. You've got this babe text.

716
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: And that worked for me. Yeah, and so what Dad

717
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 1: said every day.

718
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 3: What made it worse was that she was targeting women

719
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 3: who had eating disorders. And so some of the women

720
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 3: who eventually followed this complaint against her weigh like eighty

721
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 3: pounds by the end of this you know, fitness plan

722
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 3: that you had given them to lose weight. She decides

723
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 3: that she's now born again Christian, and she said, this

724
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 3: was my past life. It has nothing to do with

725
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 3: my current life, where where I am now running a

726
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:25,280
Speaker 3: ministry for women. And so she has these like evangelical

727
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 3: all women's retreats that cost like between you know, five

728
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 3: hundred and two thousand dollars. And I convinced a the

729
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,959
Speaker 3: Guardian to send me down there. We're in my little

730
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 3: crosseerings to see what was up about it. It was wild.

731
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 2: Wow, Oh my gosh, was it strange? Was there a

732
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 2: certain point where you were like, this is an alien

733
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 2: culture that I'll never or at a certain point where

734
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 2: you like, oh, I'm kind of like finding like connecting

735
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 2: with these women or anything like that.

736
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 3: I kind of had both, Like I get the appeal

737
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 3: of of evangelical I don't want to say I get

738
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 3: the appeal of culture, but I get the appeal of like,

739
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 3: you know, singing these beautiful little Christian rock songs and

740
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 3: you all feel like you're at a sleepover party together.

741
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 3: There's something fun about it and nice. But then as

742
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 3: soon as people started speaking in tongues and I saw

743
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 3: how a lot of people were wearing firearms, I'm not

744
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 3: quite sure. I can totally always.

745
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: A scary combination the old speaking and tongues while wearing

746
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: a cao is not really you know, that doesn't make

747
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: it go. I'm gonna take no.

748
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 3: And someone was talking about how there was like a

749
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 3: secular sorceress among us, and I was like, oh my god,

750
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 3: how did they know?

751
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: Really? Yeah, Oh wow, that's such a cool put that

752
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: in your bio. I mean, the fact that that's not

753
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,800
Speaker 1: the first thing on your Wikipedia is like secular sources.

754
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 3: Oh, it's so true. What am I I've been doing?

755
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,240
Speaker 3: With my branding, my personal brand.

756
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 2: Let Scotty fix it please please, you got it?

757
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 1: Come my way. I got some ideas. But that is

758
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: so funny. I went to a Curtin are both Catholic

759
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 1: school kids, and we had to get confirmed. I had

760
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: to go to like a confirmation camp for a weekend.

761
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: It was like forty eight hours. Yeah it was I

762
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,720
Speaker 1: don't even remember. It must have been in Maryland somewhere.

763
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 1: But they were like, you know, just youth group stuff,

764
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: like team building stuff, like all just the most boring

765
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 1: crap ever, like some crafts, but then also teaching stuff.

766
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:36,439
Speaker 1: And then they're like, who else could be a saint

767
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 1: that's alive today? And you're like, uh, I don't know.

768
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: After like mother Teresa, everybody just froze. Gary the guy

769
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 1: down the street, he fixed my bike for free. But

770
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 1: the funniest he told me, and this happened later too,

771
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: with this other retreat I had to go to is

772
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: the guy. The woman running it was named Trena. But

773
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 1: then there was like a guy that was like sort

774
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: of overseeing her. He might have been a deacon actually,

775
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: but he's leapt in his car the entire weekend because

776
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 1: he was so afraid of bugs and spiders. Wow, And

777
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,359
Speaker 1: I remember thinking, like, you're a very religious person who

778
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: believes there's a creator and there's a path and all

779
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: these things. But then at the same time you're just like,

780
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: but I am not safe unless I'm sleeping in the

781
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 1: camera because the spiders could get to me here. It's

782
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: like say a prayer.

783
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 3: But also I want to know why the spiders wouldn't

784
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 3: have access to the camri but they would have access

785
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 3: to other locales.

786
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, spiders get places. That is so true.

787
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 2: I also found out recently a disheartening fact that whenever

788
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 2: you know how you like, take a spider outside because

789
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:36,879
Speaker 2: you don't want to kill it. Sure, if you take

790
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,320
Speaker 2: a spider that you find in your home outside.

791
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: They just die.

792
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 3: Yes, I just learned this, But like, where are they living.

793
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:48,240
Speaker 3: They're only living in the crevices in our kitchens forever.

794
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 2: They're only house spiders.

795
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: It's pretty cute, pretty cute cut Pixar call them up,

796
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: only house spiders.

797
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Scott, he sends us all to do a

798
00:42:59,000 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 2: bug one.

799
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: You know, we're on it. We're having a fun run.

800
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 1: Let's Creature Farm sent this in, which is a cool

801
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 1: name for an account. This was on CNN dot com.

802
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: And when you're talking bugs, you're talking Kate Golimbuski. Absolutely,

803
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: she just she types the stories that move our hearts.

804
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: Billions of cicadas are set to appear in a rare

805
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 1: double brewed emergence. Scientists say, where, Oh, great question. Luckily

806
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: if you Kurt, Kate Golumbuski has got us covered. Yes,

807
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: in a matter of weeks, they will dig their way

808
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: out from underground, red eyes shining, deafening songs filling the air.

809
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: It will be a confluence of creatures the likes of

810
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 1: which hasn't been seen in the United States since Thomas Frickin'

811
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: Jefferson was president.

812
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:53,320
Speaker 2: Confluence of creatures is beautiful.

813
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, give it up, and it won't happen again until

814
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: two two hundred and forty five. It's a rare emergency insects.

815
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 1: Some are referring to as cicada apocalypse.

816
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 2: It is you always have to put apocalypse on it.

817
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 1: You do you really do? Or gate? This is cicket

818
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 1: apocalypse gate. Billions with a bee of cicadas are set

819
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 1: to surface this spring. Has two different broods, one that

820
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: appears every thirteen years and another that appears every seventeen

821
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: years are going to simultaneously. Oh whoa, this is very cool.

822
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: They're also great. Also, my nephews pick them up and

823
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 1: throw them. They don't care, they're not afraid of them.

824
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:41,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, it's very fascinating. One group that appears

825
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: every thirteen years known as Brood. I mean, it's known

826
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: as Brood nineteen. You would think it'd be Brood thirteen

827
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: if they come at third seventeen where I feel like.

828
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 3: They could get a better name. They're only going to

829
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 3: be alive for what is it, a few days. Give

830
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 3: them a ruthless moisture kind of a band name or something.

831
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 2: Yeah.

832
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 1: They are also referred to as the Great Southern Brood,

833
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,800
Speaker 1: which is fine. That sounds like a band. Sounds like

834
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:14,720
Speaker 1: a Leonard Skinner is the largest periodical cicada brood, stretching

835
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: across all of the southeastern United States. The Northern Illinois

836
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 1: Brood or Brood eight, which emerges every seventeen years, is

837
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:27,760
Speaker 1: the ground.

838
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 2: Just if you just dig down into the dirt, are

839
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 2: you just gonna find cicadas everywhere that are just waiting.

840
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 2: I mean, it's so crazy that they lay eggs and

841
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 2: it takes thirteen years for the eggs to is that

842
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 2: it thirteen.

843
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 1: Or seventeen years. They emerged simultaneously, and it says that

844
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 1: there is something that triggers it, and it's in this article. Okay,

845
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 1: I'll get to that in just a second. It's a rare.

846
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 1: It's rare that we see the size of double brood emergencies.

847
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: Doctor Jonathan Larson, it's he's an extension entomologists and assistant

848
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: professor at University of Kentucky. We're talking about absolute oddity

849
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 1: of nature. One of America's coolest insects. I mean, this

850
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:12,320
Speaker 1: is exciting because you know our listeners, we have tons

851
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 1: in the southeastern and the Illinois area. It's gonna be

852
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: crazy for y'all. I mean, have fun the spring and jogs.

853
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 1: Enjoy it. I'll skip ahead to some of the more

854
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:28,800
Speaker 1: interesting stuff. So they follow different cycles in annual cicadas,

855
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: which don't actually have an annual life cycle, even though

856
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: you see them every summer. Yeah, the namser babies of

857
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: annual cicada spend two to five years underground, slowly growing

858
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 1: until they are ready to emerge this springs. Periodical cicadas

859
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 1: will make their appearance when soil temperatures eight inches deep

860
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 1: reach sixty four degrees fahrenheit, which is about eighteen degrees celsius. Okay.

861
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: Will likely happen in mid May, and the individual bugs,

862
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 1: as adult life cycles are just a few weeks, their

863
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: emergence will be slightly staggered, so there will be about

864
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: six weeks of billions of cicadas in the United States.

865
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:09,359
Speaker 2: Wow, wow, wow, do you come back from Paris at all?

866
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: Do the same?

867
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 3: Just for that?

868
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, bring goggles in a net, Kurt. We're going to

869
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:18,879
Speaker 1: be in the Midwest in May.

870
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:25,360
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's exciting, mate, and the Chicago, Madison, Minneapolis

871
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 2: go get your tickets right now, close to selling out.

872
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 1: Run from the cicadas and into the comedy theater and

873
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 1: cheer for the banana boys. That month and a half

874
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: period will be jam packed with loud singing, mating, and

875
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:43,359
Speaker 1: then dying sounds fun party like the most macabre Marty

876
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:47,320
Speaker 1: Gral you've ever seen. Yes, this occurs every two hundred

877
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,720
Speaker 1: and twenty one years when the thirteen year and seventeen

878
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 1: years circadas overlap. These two birds haven't been above ground

879
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 1: at the same time since eighteen oh three, and as

880
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,359
Speaker 1: I said, they won't happen again until twenty two hundred

881
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: and forty five. There are other instances of cocurrences of cicadas.

882
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. If you live in an area with

883
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 1: cicada's making an appearance to spring, you can download a

884
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: community science app to help research or study these bugs.

885
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:14,360
Speaker 1: The main thing we want people to do is know

886
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,359
Speaker 1: they can go to Cicada Safari app, which is free

887
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 1: on the web, and all they have to do is

888
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 1: photograph whatever cicadas they see. That's it. These photographs are

889
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,280
Speaker 1: sent to scientists who map where and when the cicadas

890
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: are merging, which is information vital to scientists studying how

891
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 1: climate change affects cicadas and predicting future scada activity. That is,

892
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,799
Speaker 1: Cicada Safari app sounds fun.

893
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I would encourage everyone to give a big

894
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 2: thumbs up in every photo of cicadas. Yes, it doesn't happen. Also,

895
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 2: we should declare it's hot cicada summer. We should all

896
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:52,839
Speaker 2: decide that this summer we will sing, live, maybe may

897
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 2: drink and mate and then die.

898
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 1: In the fall.

899
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 2: Okay, it's hot cicada summer for everybody out there.

900
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 3: That's so true for it.

901
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 2: Good cool Jess, Thank you so much for being on

902

905
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: a social media following? Where can our bananamals find sure?

906
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 3: I am on Instagram at Jess MQ three or you

907

909
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:32,760
Speaker 3: coming out. So yeah, all kinds of fun weird news.

910
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 2: That's very exciting. I love I want to read the

911
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:40,160

Speaker 2: I will thank you.

917
00:49:52,400 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 1: All right, enjoy Bananas. Bananas is an exactly right media production.

918
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:16,760
Speaker 2: Our producer and engineer is Katie Levine.

919
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 1: The catchy Bananas theme song was composed and performed by Kahon.

920
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 2: Artwork for Bananas was designed by Travis Millard and.

921
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 1: Our benevolent overlords are the Great Karen Kilgareff and Georgia

922
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:27,760
Speaker 1: Hartstart

923
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 2: And Lisa Maggott is our full human, not a robot

924
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 2: intern
