Speaker 1: I don't mind at all. I don't mind it all,

16
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry my audio is not as as amazing

17
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: quality as normal. I don't have my home set up.

18
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: But it's true. I'm in Venice. I'm looking at a

19
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: canal with my left eye, and my straight eye is

20
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: looking at the world's greatest comic, Kurt Brown Owler Curtie B.

21
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: You know him, you love him. We call him the

22
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: big banana around here.

23
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: Oh man, how is how has your trip been?

24
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: That's good. Well, yeah, I mean so off season travel

25
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: in is just fantastic. The weather's been great, and yeah,

26
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: I'm in Venice right now, which a lot of people

27
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: don't know. Their roads here are canals and they're nope,

28
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: it's a big secret, and their cars are boats. So

29
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: it's a funny choice they made a long time ago

30
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: that people still sort of enjoy today. I haven't done

31
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: a gondola ride. I don't believe I am going to

32
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: do a gondola ride. This is my first time to Venice,

33
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: but I just feel like, uh, not for me. I've

34
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: been thinking about it a lot. I think it started

35
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 1: as a We're having a wonderful night in Venice. It's romantic,

36
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: the stars are out. Let's take a boat ride with

37
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: a gondolier who takes us down these quiet, dark canals.

38
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: And now it's just packing as many people into a

39
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: boat and rowing their asses in a line through the city. Yeah,

40
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: I think I'm good. I think I'm good on the gondas,

41
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: but yeah, I'm not having a great time. So many

42
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: new stories, so many fun things. I went to Monaco.

43
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: Uh huh, I've never been. Have you ever been to Monaco?

44
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 2: No, it's just like a casino, right, it's just a

45
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 2: giant casino city.

46
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: So it's the richest per capita city in the entire planet.

47
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: There's only thirty seven thousand residents. That's crazy. They speak French,

48
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: but they speak everything. And the weekend I got there

49
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: was yacht the International Yacht Show weekend in Monaco, which

50
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I can't even afford a canoe. But

51
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: I had the first experience walking around Monico. I've never

52
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: had this in my life where I was seeing children

53
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: like children Gus and ALA's age, who are so rich

54
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: and the way they look at you, it is like

55
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: they have perfectly combed hair, they have ten thousand dollars

56
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: outfits on their dad has a two hundred million dollar yacht,

57
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: their mom's five billion dollars and they just walk by

58
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: you like look at this slug, and you're like, you're right.

59
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:13,119
Speaker 1: I couldn't afford a chair on your international yacht, young man.

60
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: But it was a new experience.

61
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 2: That's crazy. That is so crazy. Did you go to

62
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 2: the casino?

63
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: I did. I went to the Monte Carlo casino, famous

64
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: from all the James Bond movies. And I'm not a

65
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: gambler as you know, but I did a go in,

66
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: I got a drink, I walked around. I didn't take

67
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: any photos. No, I didn't actually gamble. They they kind

68
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: of separate you into again, like the poor sad sacks

69
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: and then the richies. So when you go in, there's

70
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: sort of an everybody can go area and it's slot machines,

71
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: and I was like, I'm god.

72
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 2: Really yeah, oh, because otherwise you need to like the

73
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: James Bond area where people are like negotiating nuclear codes

74
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 2: and playing poker is like four high rollers on right.

75
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: And it's the two interesting things because it's an educational podcast.

76
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: One is if you live in Monaco, you were not

77
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: allowed to gamble in the casino? What real? Yeah, you're

78
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: not allowed at if you're a citizen of Monaco, which

79
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: is very hard to do. Some of the rents I

80
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: was looking at thirty five thousand dollars a month for

81
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: every cubic square foot, so every ten by ten space

82
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: thirty five thousand dollars a month. What? Yes? What?

83
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 2: And then is it a tax haven or something like? Why?

84
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: It's a huge financial tax haven. And the casino is

85
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: owned by the government of Monaco. It is their breadwinner.

86
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: So you can go and you can put in money

87
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: and you can get a bunch of chips and stuff

88
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: and you can go play the table games, or if

89
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: you just want to go in and play, you know,

90
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: just to say you did it. There's sort of an

91
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: entry room that's just slots. And so instead of participating

92
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: in all that, we decided to go over and have

93
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: a cocktail in a very very nice bar. And it

94
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: was great. I mean, that's awesome. It was fun. And

95
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: so you know, if I go with you, if I

96
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: go with friends, I'll be like, yes, let's go to

97
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: Monaco and eat some gelato. But man, it is just

98
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: not built for all of us.

99
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 2: Just we are not fascinating.

100
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: Thirty five thousand dollars a month for ten square feet

101
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: in the city, so.

102
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: You could lay down, you could lay down diagonal if

103
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 2: you needed to.

104
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: Right, the median per capita for the thirty seven thousand

105
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: people that live there is twelve million dollars, so you

106
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: basically have to have somewhere around twelve million dollars to

107
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: and it takes like ten years to become a citizen.

108
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: You have to live there, you have to pass all

109
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: these tests. Fascinating place, didn't I just walked around and

110
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: had a ball. It was wonderful.

111
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 2: Oh wow, well I was. I was in Mexico City.

112
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, how was that. Congratulations on your anniversary.

113
00:06:55,560 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 2: Thank you. Speaking of gondola's, I guess it's called gondolas. Uh.

114
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: There.

115
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 2: I went to this place called I'm going to mispronounce it, but.

116
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: Milo sounds great.

117
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 2: It's XO m I L C h O. But it's

118
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 2: canals about an hour outside the center of Mexico City.

119
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 2: And you go and you pay, uh, you know, pay

120
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: a certain amount of money for per hour, and you

121
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 2: get on a like a gondola, but they're like flat,

122
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 2: they're like a flat bottom boat that's very long, and

123
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 2: then they pull you out into this like canal, like

124
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 2: whatever canal you know, like a series a grouping of canals.

125
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: Oh man, I don't know.

126
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 2: I know, it's not that, but a network of canals.

127
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: Okay, let's go now.

128
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 2: So they pull you out into network of canals and

129
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 2: then everything is there, everything is on boats. So you

00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: over it. You give them some money, they give you

135
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 2: got a mitchellatta that was the size of my head.

136
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: It was an entire forty ounce perfect jumped into a

137
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 2: giant Corona cup. And then they put the like the

138
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 2: the seasoning that they put on the rim of it.

139
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: Like the taheen, but something better.

140
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 2: It was, yeah, but it was. It was spicy and

141
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 2: sour and sweet. It was also sweet and it was

142
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 2: just dripping down the sides and Lauren and I and

143
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 2: we took a little bit and no problem, and we're

144
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 2: just laughing drinking the most the giantest beer that you've

145
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 2: ever had. And then then like another boat pulls up

146
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 2: and it's a full eight piece mariachi band, like, yeah,

147
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,560

149
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 2: gigantic guitar, trumpets.

150
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, the big guitar is what sets the mariachi bands

151
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: apart from the rest of the bands of the world.

152
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 2: That star It was the most intense experience because you're surrounded,

153
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 2: you're surrounded. It was just Lauren and I on the boat,

154
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 2: do you know what I mean? And We had eight

155
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 2: dudes who were like the just excellent musicians and the

156
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 2: singers such strong voices, but you're like eight inches away

157
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 2: from them and you're like just floating down this canal.

158
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 2: It was so awesome and wonderful. It was what a treat.

159
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 2: If you ever go to Mexico City, it's worth the

160
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 2: hour maybe hour and a half long car ride to

161
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 2: get out to Sochi.

162
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: Milko was great though.

163
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 2: It was so cool, and I would recommend if you'd

164
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 2: go do it for two hours. We did it for

165
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 2: one hour, and you know, they turn around after thirty

166
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 2: minutes and we were like, oh.

167
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 1: Man, we're just yeah, yeah, that's cool. I've never heard

168
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: of that down there. That sounds wonderful and that's a

169
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: fun way. You guys made new memories. You didn't just

170
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: look back did You lived in the moment. You two

171
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: were present in your love for each other. That's good, great,

172
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: it really was.

173
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 2: It was very cool to have just like four days

174
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 2: no children walk around a city together.

175
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: It was it's old school.

176
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 2: It's old school, and it was so so cool. I

177
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 2: loved it. But if you go be ready first first

178
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 2: twenty four hours, thirty six hours, it's hard. You thought

179
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 2: Denver was hard, you add another two feet on it.

180
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 2: It's hard with the altitude.

181
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, they they're national soccer team espishly in World Cup

182
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: and qualifying when they play in Mexico City as the altitude,

183
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: Mexico wins all the time, like they are adjusted to it,

184
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: and it's a huge, huge, huge, huge home field advantage

185
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: to play there. Don't I'm going to say it's the

186
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: stadium as Teca, And maybe that is so wrong and

187
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: racist of me, but I'm pretty sure that is what

188
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: it's called. Also, I picked up this thing. You know,

189
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: I've done a lot of travel in my life, but

190
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: you always when you try to speak a new language,

191
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,719
Speaker 1: or when you're speaking a language that you're not very

192
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: familiar with, sometimes you feel like a little embarrassed and dumb.

193
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: But I had a moment of clarity about a few

194
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: days ago where everybody, everywhere you go in the world,

195
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter where you're traveling, fifty percent of those

196
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: people are below average intelligence. So let's just say half

197
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: the people you're interacting with are so in their own

198
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: below average intelligence life that when you make a mistake,

199
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 1: you walk down the wrong way, you say the wrong

200
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: vocabulary word, you don't know how to ask where the

201
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: toilet is. They're they're fine, They're already thinking about something

202
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: they saw earlier, and they're gonna giggle about it and

203
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: check their phone. It like it takes this pressure off

204
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: you when you realize that you're not just walking around

205
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: with Rhodes scholars and every and great memoirists who are

206
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: going to record your stupid move. Most people are very dumb.

207
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: And if you just put your neck out a little

208
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 1: bit and say, hey, I don't know how to say this,

209
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna try. Thanks to Google Translate, Uh, you're

210
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: gonna get away with it because that person's in their

211
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: own life, in their own zone and their own brain,

212
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 1: and they don't care. Yeah, they don't care.

213
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 2: And also it's it's it's I think travel is a

214
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 2: little bit about feeling the best silly it is, do you.

215
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: Know what I mean?

216
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 2: It's a little bit about being vulnerable because you're going

217
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 2: somewhere you don't know what's cool, you don't know what's

218
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 2: not cool. Like you walk, you could have the coolest

219
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 2: clothes in America. You go to Berlin, you look like

220
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 2: a dork because they're wearing the dorkiest, weirdest clothes. Yeah,

221
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 2: and they're like, this is cool, this is what cool is.

222
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 2: And You're like, this seems like the weirdest, dorkiest person

223
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 2: I've ever seen, but it's awesome. It's like that vulnerability

224
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 2: of it, and like, yeah, don't worry. I always try,

225
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 2: and I always make a fool of myself trying to

226
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 2: speak the language I always do. I love it. I

227
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 2: love it.

228
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: I do too. I just it was a moment of

229
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: clarity where I'm like, this person doesn't care that I

230
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: just messed that up. They might recorrect me and send

231
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 1: me on my way, and then they're gonna go look

232
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: at butt pictures online like everybody else, Like it's so freeing.

233
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 1: Just look like a dummy. Nobody cares at all. Here

234
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: it is Scottie, Yes, sir.

235

Speaker 2: a long time ago. I've been sitting on this one

238
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: for a while. I was saving it for a live show,

239
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 2: but the opportunity never came up. This was sentence by

240
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 2: Brendan Bailey.

241
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: Thanks Brendan b. Thank you, thank you so much.

242
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:06,760

Speaker 2: This was written by.

244
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: I need to know Big Toe Johnson.

245
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 2: Nobody, no one wrote this.

246
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: That's swig In sky Staff.

247
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 2: A retired builder has told how his dog potentially saved

248
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 2: his leg by chewing his toe to the bone while

249
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 2: he was asleep. David Lindsay was taking a nap on

250
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 2: a sofa when his wife's scream woke him up. He

251
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 2: looked down to find his seven month old bulldog puppy

252
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 2: had been nibbling on his foot so much that his

253
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 2: toe had been fractured and was covered in blood. However,

254
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 2: in a strange turn of events, it turns out Harley

255
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 2: the dog was an unlikely hero.

256
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: Okay.

257
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 2: The sixty four year old father of five told Whales

258
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 2: Online quote, I was asleep on the couch when my

259
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: wife walked in and shouted, Dave, the puppy's chewing your toe.

260
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 2: Oh god, puppy he had near enough chewed him my

261
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 2: big toe off. It chewed down to the bone and

262
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 2: cracked it. But because of all of this, I discovered

263
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 2: that by foot is completely numb. Well yes, I mean

264
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 2: when it it takes this for this man to ever

265
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 2: feel his foot, yeah, shit, and not realize that his

266
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 2: foot is completely numb.

267
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: Yes, that's crazy.

268
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 2: After being rushed to the hospital, doctors told him he

269
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 2: had lost the feeling in his feet due to two

270
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 2: blocked arteries in his legs.

271
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 3: Yeeesh.

272
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 2: He was warned if the blood supply was not returned,

273
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 2: he risked losing his leg. Specialists are now seeing if

274
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 2: he can have stens fitted that would open up the

275
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 2: arties allow the blood to return to his legs. David

276
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 2: from Cambridge added, you gotta laugh about it. He's done

277
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 2: me a favor by chewing my toe, So I'm waiting

278
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 2: to find out they can put stents in. This was

279
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three, so I'm sure that this man

280
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 2: is absolutely fine.

281
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: Now. Uh my, I'm a.

282
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 2: Big toe too. But if not, I told the doctor

283
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 2: to cut it off and I can take it home

284
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 2: for him. He's gonna give the dog his toe.

285
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: That's disgusting. Wow, this is surely a positive spin on

286
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: an absolutely insane story.

287
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 2: It's a really insane story. And the picture is of

288
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 2: them on the couch together. This dog is incredibly cute.

289
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 2: David Lindsay and his leg saving dog, and it's a

290
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 2: ball dog and it's just like such a cute puppy,

291
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 2: but also what a crazy move by I've never had

292
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 2: a dog chew on a part of my I guess

293
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 2: maybe bigger dogs chew on parts of your bodies. I

294
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: guess Rob's dog used to chew on his hand. He stop,

295
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 2: but always would stop at a certain point.

296
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: Also, he could feel his hands. I mean, I guess,

297
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: like you said, how long, and I guess this guy

298
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: was really just looking the other way, like how long

299
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: can you go without realizing you can't feel your feet?

300
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm overestimating how much I think I can feel

301
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: my feet.

302
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm a little bit always aware of

303
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 2: feeling my feet. I feel like everybody right now while

304
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: you're listening, are you feeling your feet? I feel like

305
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 2: I'm feeling my feet. You I would, it would just

306
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 2: feel like, you know, all of a sudden walking around

307
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 2: on stumps or something.

308
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: Otherwise, it's really well, I mean yeah, I mean this

309
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: dog wasn't trying to save his life. This dog just

310
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: got got started on a little a little tease, a

311
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: little tag and this this hardest sleeper just I mean,

312
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: you can't feel not just feel it, but you don't

313
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: hear it. That's that's truly a bizarre guy.

314
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 2: That's a bizarre guy. There seems to be more to

315
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 2: the story.

316
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: There is man Harley. Why is how did Harley David

317
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: seem become the lamest brand in the history of the world.

318
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 2: Like, I don't know.

319
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: When we were kids of somebody at a Harley, it

320
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: was like, oh, they have stabbed somebody and they have

321
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: those they had those old tattoos on their forearms and

322
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: stuff that were just bleeding out from years of drinking

323
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: and sun damage. So it's like, is it a mermaid?

324
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: Is it an anchor? And if they had a Harley,

325
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: were like it's bad as now when you see anybody

326
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: on a Harley or at those Harley outlets that are

327
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: always near malls or out and you're like, I could

328
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: beat everybody up in that place, and I am a whimp.

329
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 2: I tell you why, because now the average price of

330
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 2: a Harley is like eighty thousand dollars to own a Harley.

331
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 2: That's why it's like it didn't used to be like

332
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 2: it's a rich man's toy now.

333
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, if I ever go on prices, right, I hope

334
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: when I get to a showcase showdown that it opens

335
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: it up and it's two Honda gold Wing motorcycles, and

336
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: I will pretend to be so happy. I will just

337
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: do standing backflips until Drew Carey's like, just let's just

338
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: give them to this guy. This guy clearly loves Honda

339
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: gold Wing, big Grandpa with speakers and like luggage racks.

340
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 1: It's just it's just weird how everything starts as one

341
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 1: thing and then over time becomes something completely different.

342
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 2: I know, I've always I'm always shocked at that. As

343
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 2: also as I've lived on this earth for longer and

344
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 2: I've seen just in like comedy, I've seen people begin

345
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 2: come up, have success, oh yeah, and then go back

346
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,959
Speaker 2: down to obscurity. I've watched the whole cycle happen, and

347
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 2: you just it's like it's a it's a deep, deep

348
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 2: reminder that it's all a fucking river. That it's like

349
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 2: the only constant is changed.

350
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: That's right.

351
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 2: It's just like at any moment, if you feel a

352
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 2: certain way about the state of the world, it will

353
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:40,959
Speaker 2: be different.

354
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 1: That's right. That's a good point. Yeah, that the rise

355
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: and fall, That's right. The longer you're in it, it's

356
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: a weird thing to see people that get just run

357
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: out of the gate, going so fast and then it

358
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: just that pulls them right back in. Yeah, damn.

359
00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 2: It's fascinating. And even the biggest, even the biggest, they

360
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 2: I will then have a fall.

361
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: I had.

362
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 2: It was just inevitable.

363
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: It's really true. I had a really interesting experience early

364
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: on in New York. And I think this person's working

365
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: a lot now, like right now they're finally got their

366
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: break twenty years later or whatever. But remember that bar cabin.

367
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 1: It was in the East Village and it was like

368
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: a hang hey, yeah, And there was a guy I

369
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: think his name was Chesley who hosted a little back

370
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: room stand up show there that had like I don't know,

371
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: maybe it's set like fifteen to twenty people, but late

372
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: night at cabin, all the comics, the all comics, you

373
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: guys like the Variety show comics, the real comedy seller

374
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: guys and gals. They would all meet there on some

375
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: nights and you would it would be a who's who

376
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: it would be Dave Chappelle would be there, Bill Burr

377
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: or somebody like that. But then I would go Kristen

378
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 1: or you or whoever. And I remember, like I was

379
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: probably twenty two or twenty three and had just gotten

380
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: there and in one night the number of like entertainment

381
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: lessons I learned, Like somebody introduced me. I won't name

382
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: the comics name, but they were like, do you see

383
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: that guy over there. I was like yeah, They're like,

384
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: oh man, he's the new John Belushi. He got a

385
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: pilot on ABC. He just went out to pilot season,

386
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 1: and like he's gonna be the next big thing. And

387
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: he was my age. And so I end up meeting

388
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: that guy and we're really talking. And then there were

389
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: two SNL writers who were like formerly and you know

390
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: these guys, they were like, don't write for us, andel

391
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: it sucks. They were like, it's a nightmare. And it

392
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: was like a big dream of mine to write for SNL,

393
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: and they were like, it is a nightmare factory. People

394
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 1: steal your jokes, you don't get stuff on. Do not

395
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: do it. It's you don't get paid enough. And I

396
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: just felt like I walked around cabin, a place I

397
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: probably went four times and ten years, and in that

398
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 1: first night I kind of saw so I got so

399
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: much insider information on what to avoid and who not

400
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: to be. And then that guy who was going to

401
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: be the next John Belushi, I mean, for fifteen years,

402
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: it just didn't happen at all. And it's I think

403
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: sometimes we forget that all of these careers are impossibly hard.

404
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: There they're actually impossible hard.

405
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and it's it's amazing so much if you

406
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 2: could get anything done, if you can get any little

407
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 2: thing done, it is it's a miracle.

408
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 1: But you know, keep trying. Also, there's like a lot

409
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: of our favorite comics of those those older folks that

410
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 1: are just still funny and they're like sixty and they

411
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: get up there and they're just so crazy and funny

412
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 1: that you're like, well, that's a good skill too. I

413
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: think that's why I like writing so much, as I

414
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 1: really have the belief that I'll at least get better

415
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: at writing the whole way. Like comedy, I'll probably won't

416
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: be funny in five years, ten years, but like I

417
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: think I'll be a better writer till the day I

418
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 1: stop typing, right.

419
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 2: I agree with that.

420
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

421
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 2: But what's also very interesting when you think about that

422
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 2: is like, uh, I don't know if it's true with filmmaking,

423
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 2: because if you look at it like it, it doesn't

424
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 2: seem like it. It's like the last film a massive

425
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 2: auteur director does is never great? Yeah, And I wonder

426
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,479
Speaker 2: if it's the sludge of Hollywood, do you know what

427
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 2: I mean? Like so many things like in Hollywood, you

428
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 2: have like talent and you start to rise up, and

429
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 2: then all these like sludgy arms of Hollywood reach up

430
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 2: and start grabbing onto you and telling you this and

431
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 2: pulling you this way and pulling you that way, and

432
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 2: saying you have to do it this way, and you

433
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 2: have to do it and em And I think that

434
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 2: maybe is is it that Hollywood does after a certain point,

435
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 2: Like it's what gives you the opportunity to get a

436
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 2: thing out there, and then if you stay long enough,

437
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 2: it is what ultimately destroys your art.

438
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 1: Dude, At the start of the strike last summer two

439
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: summers ago? Was it last summer? Jeez? When was that

440
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: two summers ago? I have no idea either. But at

441
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: the start of the Writer's Guild strike, I get a

442
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 1: call from this guy who's an agent, one of my agents,

443
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: but just somebody to know inn the business. And he goes, hey,

444
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: do you know anything about AI? And I go not really,

445
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: I know some why He goes, I'm here and I

446
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 1: won't name the actor's name, but I'm here with an

447
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 1: actor and he's like a canceled actor, Like this guy

448
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: has been canceled, Like I would never work with this guy. Yeah,

449
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: never met him, don't know the guy. But he was

450
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: like I was telling about you and that you're a

451
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 1: really funny writer. And he just read this thing about

452
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: AI and he has a great idea for a movie pitch,

453
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: could you get on a zoom real quick? And I

454
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: was like, uh no, I'm like it's a strike, but

455
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: like if you guys want to tell me what the

456
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: idea is, like I can chew on it and then like,

457
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna scab, so you can tell me the idea.

458
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: So the actor gets on. The canceled actor gets on

459
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 1: and he goes, hey, so AI can like impersonate your

460
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: voice and it can like take it could take like

461
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: all of your work and like and reproduce it. Right.

462
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 1: I go, yeah, I think it actually can do all that.

463
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: Like you can say, uh, give me a Stephen King

464
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: book but about jazz, and then it'll AI can write that.

465
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 2: And he goes, so what if I as cemetery.

466
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, wait a second, this is pretty good, and so

467
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: this actor goes, so, here's my idea. This is my pitch.

468
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 1: I think you're the perfect guy to write it. Again,

469
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: I don't know this person, and he goes, so, what

470
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: if there's like an actor, like a former former, like

471
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: a list actor, and like an AI pretends to be

472
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: him and it becomes its own sentient thing and all

473
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: of the bad things that this this actor's ever done,

474
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: it's just the AI guy. So the movie is about

475
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: the actor trying to find the bad version of himself

476
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: that's AI and shut him down. I'm like, oh cool,

477
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: that's interesting. Let me think on that a little bit.

478
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, like Armie Hammer, I mean, yeah,

479
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 2: it wasn't him.

480
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 1: Armie Hammer, who is who I had a storage unit

481
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: next to and walked up to, made direct eye contact,

482
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: and I was like, that is Army but slightly older

483
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: than Army Hammer. But I was like, oh cool, Yeah,

484
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do any development of writing during

485
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: the strike, but let me think on it and I'll

486
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: get back. And I kind of did that because I

487
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: knew it was like a knee jerk idea for this

488
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,439
Speaker 1: guy and he would never go back to it, and

489
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: so that's what happened. Never went back. But I'm like,

490
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: that is the level of delusion that people have, Like

491
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: what if I saved my career by making a movie

492
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: where an AI version of me was the bad one

493
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: and I'm the good one and I stopped the bad

494
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: one from being bad? And I was like, you think

495
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to put my name on that, You're insane?

496
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: Never Never, ma'am Oh so crazy. I'll tell you who

497
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: that was off the podcast sounds good. Sarah Marie sent

498
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: this in. Thank you, Sarah Marie. You can send in

503
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: Oh you're gonna like this one, Kurt alrighty, It's not

504
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 1: really bananas, it's more just so impressive. One woman sets

505
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: an impressive new record on the appalach Trail this week.

506
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: This was in SI dot com, written by Maria Best

507
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 1: in the Business Aldrich. Oh she's good.

508
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 2: That's good.

509
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 1: When it comes along walks, you want Maria Aldrich right

510
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: there every step of the way. On September twenty first,

511
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, the Appalachian Trail saw a new fastest

512
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: known time, which is called FKT, which is I think

513
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 1: a big thing in the hiking world. Of the previous

514
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: overall record for the two thousand, one hundred and ninety

515
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 1: seven mile trail, it was formerly set in twenty eighteen

516
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: by Carol I think it is Carol Sab or Sabby

517
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: in a time of forty one days, seven hours and

518
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: thirty nine minutes. Now that record has been broken by

519
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: shaving off thirteen hours. Thirty one year old Tara Dower

520
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 1: is an experienced in Durant's athlete who diligently planned and

521
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: trained for this challenge. Dower completed her journey on Saturday

522
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: for a time of forty days, eighteen hours, five minutes.

523
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 2: And this is self supported. This is self supported. She

524
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,479
Speaker 2: did not have any assistance. No one brought her food,

525
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 2: no one brought her any supplies that she needed. If

526
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 2: she broke, if her shoe ran out, she had to

527
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 2: go get herself a new shoe.

528
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 1: That's right. So think about that twenty one hundred and

529
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 1: ninety seven miles and she did it in forty days,

530
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: eighteen hours and five minutes. To put this tremendous achievement

531
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: into perspective, it takes thousand one hundred and ninety seven

532
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: by forty forty days. Yeah, we'll just do the days.

533
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 2: Fifty five miles a day, Jesus, Oh my god, Wow,

534
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 2: oh my god.

535
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: Door to Shure for me when I lived in Echo

536
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: Park was nineteen miles. Yeah, and think about what that

537
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: did to us doing shots and eating hot dogs and

538
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: walking on flat land.

539
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 2: On flat land, stopping whatever we want, up and down,

540
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 2: up and down, up and down. Also the incredible boredom

541
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 2: I've heard of Georgia. And I think I believe she

542
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 2: did it north to south? Right, she did it southbound?

543
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:23,479
Speaker 1: She did I don't know. Let me see uhur endurance

544
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: to it doesn't say in this one which direction she

545
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: did it.

546
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 2: I thought. I thought she did it southbound, which is

547
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 2: the opposite of the way most.

548
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: So Maine to Georgia right, fourteen states.

549
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like the last, either way, it's brutal because

550
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 2: the last, you know, hundreds of miles in Georgia is

551
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 2: just boring. But in Maine, if you do it Maine,

552
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 2: the last part is you go up over a mountain

553
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 2: and it's the highest I think part of the trail.

554
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: I might be wrong, though. It takes the average hiker

555
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: five to seven months to complete the trail. Most hikers

556
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: plan ahead to resupply their food and water along the way.

557
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: My uncle Pete did it. He did it, and I

558
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: think in his late sixties early seventies. Yeah, he did it.

559
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: But he broke it up into three chunks, I believe.

560
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: But it was hard. I mean, it's a lot. And

561
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: then I've told this story back in twenty twenty, but

562
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: when I was at ums, there was this dude who's

563
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: like six six, big, shaggy blonde hair. His name's Ozzy.

564
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: Never went to college with us, just hung out around college,

565
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: this college age guy. Love this guy. I would walk

566
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: upstairs in our house and belcher Town Masks and he'd

567
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: be sitting there just drinking a glass of strawberry Quick

568
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: that he made for himself, just politely sitting in silence,

569
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: drinking strawberry milk. So one day Ozzy disappeared and I

570
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: was like, what happened to him? And they were like, oh,

571
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: he's going to hike the Appalation Trail. And I was like, no, shit,

572
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: that's cool. And then like three weeks later, we threw

573
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: a big party at my house and Ozzy was there

574
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: and I'm like, hey, dude, how are you. I heard

575
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: you were walking the Appalation Trail and he was like, yeah,

576
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: I stopped and he's like, I'm just going to hang

577
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: out here. I'm like why, and he goes, oh, man,

578
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: it's just so much walking. Yeah, yeah, that is the

579
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: main part.

580
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I get it. I have kind of

581
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 2: a dream about doing a long hike like that put

582
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 2: probably on the Pacific Cress Trail.

583
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

584
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 2: Sure, But I don't know because when I have time

585
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 2: to go camping, I love hiking into a place and

586
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 2: setting up camp, but then for a day I just

587
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 2: want to chill.

588
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to.

589
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 2: Then immediately break down camp and have to leave at

590
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 2: first light. It feels very much like the event becomes

591
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,719
Speaker 2: the endurance rather than the appreciation of being in nature.

592
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: It's a total extent. Absolutely. I don't think anybody's doing

593
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: this just for a fun chill time. I think all

594
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: I think people are working it out on the trail. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

595
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,239
Speaker 1: The iconic trail takes hikers through fourteen states, running from

596
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: Maine to Georgia, and Dour clocked in an approximately fifty

597
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: four miles per day as she navigated her way through

598
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: each state. I mean, that is so much on foot,

599
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: oh much. This record breaking feed is not the first

600
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: time Dowers set a speed record. Her endurance resume is extensive.

601
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty three, she beat a long standing record

602
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: on the Colorado Trail, creating a new FKT of eight days,

603
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: twenty one hours, fifty nine minutes. But the eight days

604
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: compared to forty days is like me compared to Shaquille O'Neil.

605
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: It's just a big, big difference. Her resume doesn't end there, however,

606
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: she has a lengthy list of speed records that she's

607
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: broken over time. While breaking the record was the goal

608
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: of Dours, she had another motive in mind, which was

609
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: to raise money for Girls on the Run, and she

610
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: stayed on her website. My goal is to raise twenty

611
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: thousand dollars for Girls on the Run during my apperation

612
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: trail fastest known time attempt. My hope is to inspire

613
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: women and girls to go for that tough goal, no

614
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: matter if it's with running or in life, and dours

615
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: fundraising efforts surpassed her initial goal. She brought in a

616
00:32:55,680 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: whopping twenty one thousand and seventy six dollars. Well, that's ice,

617
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: that's awesome. Also, great coal.

618
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 2: Really do have a question about and Duran's athletes like this,

619
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 2: Like there is if you if you do something similar

620
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 2: in another UH venue of of of sports or athleticism,

621
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 2: there's like sponsorships you can live off it. You can

622
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 2: then be a coach or something. There is nothing for

623
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 2: having for having the fastest known time of walking the

624
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 2: Appalachian Trail, like you don't. There's no sponsorships outside magazine

625
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 2: isn't sponsoring her now. She doesn't have like a an

626
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 2: energy bar that like pays her rent. She probably just

627
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 2: has to go back to working a job now.

628
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

629
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, but and she's like a massive she's a massive athlete.

630
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it would be very hard. Yes, this is harder

631
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: than many things. This is yeah, because it's mental. It's

632
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: like there was finally a woman finished the Barkley Marathon

633
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: in Tennessee. That like impossible, no woman had ever finished

634
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: it in the last year, somebody did. And I don't

635
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: know if you ever saw that documentary about the Barkley Marathon,

636
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 1: but I won't spoil it. But it is one of

637
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,399
Speaker 1: It's one of those things I think about when things

638
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: are getting tough and you think about the kind of

639
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: heroes in this documentary and they are gutting it out.

640
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: Like one guy is an egghead engineering type that just

641
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: as like this many calories in, this, many calories out.

642
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: And then this other guy is like, I lost my dad,

643
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: he'd want me to do this. And they're the grit

644
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: and determination to do something that very few people have

645
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: ever done. It just some people are built like either

646
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: their engines like the first guy, or they're just all heart.

647
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: And you look back through history and you go, it's

648
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: the combination of these two people that moved mountains. Yeah, yeah,

649
00:34:54,800 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: so thank god for old uh what dour?

650
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tara? And also like maybe I'm wrong, maybe maybe

651
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 2: like after doing this, you can have some sort of

652
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 2: thing that pays your bills for having walked very quickly

653
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 2: for very long.

654
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: At least free shoes forever, free socks. Somebody get Tara

655
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: some free socks for life. Somebody just.

656
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 2: Running every day. I guess she has to run, right,

657
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 2: there's no walking. This is her trail running like the

658
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 2: majority of the time.

659
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 1: I would Yeah, this is a this is a lot

660
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: of work. This is wild. Yeah, if you like crazy,

661
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:38,240
Speaker 1: it's crazy.

662
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 2: It's so crazy.

663
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: I don't think I would enjoy it. See I don't

664
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: want to do that as a young man. When you're young,

665
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: you just want to prove for the world awesome you are.

666
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 1: Then you get middle aged and you're like, I don't care.

667
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: Like if you're like, hey, we're just going to go

Speaker 1: That's one of the highest honors there is in all

774
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: of nature.

775
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 2: Also, that's delightful. I mean, what a beautiful what a

776
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 2: beautiful ceremony, What a fun thing to do.

777
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,080
Speaker 1: If Long Boy knew that was going to happen, he

778
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 1: would have said, killed me, now, kill me. Now you're

779
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: telling me you're going to get fifteen to twenty five

780
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: strangers of a different species to quack around the statue

781
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 1: in my honor. I'm going to go up to the

782
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 1: long neck in the sky.

783
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I gotta give it. I gotta give it

784
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 2: to Greg James.

785
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: Here, yeah, good word.

786
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 2: A Long Boy themed cover of Hot to Go Chapel

787
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 2: Rodan's hit song was performed by York student choir the

788
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:32,439
Speaker 2: Sing Song Society, while James threw miniature toy ducks into

789
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:37,240
Speaker 2: the audience. We celebrated long Boy, Yorkshire's finest who said

790
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 2: a few months ago he was Britain's tallest duck. And

791
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 2: we did a memorial for him today. I promised we

792
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 2: would and we did. There was it was straight. It

793
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 2: was striking, how engaging and friendly he was. Everybody had

794
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 2: Oh my god, there's hundreds of people.

795
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: Oh good, Okay, that makes me feel better. Yeah, that's good. Yeah.

796
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 2: And the statue of long Boy was approved after more

797
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 2: than five three hundred pounds was during fundraising. Man, this

798
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 2: just reminds me good. I still want to make this.

799
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,919
Speaker 2: I want to still make the statue of the boat

800
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 2: the man yeah who crossed a Lake Michigan in bathtub.

801
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. We tried so hard to

802
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: get in touch with that guy.

803
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I've emailed his wife, I've emailed him he's

804
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,879
Speaker 2: still alive. I've emailed his kids. But no one will

805
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 2: get back to me on whether they approve. Like I

806
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,240
Speaker 2: just want them to say, yeah, fine, we don't.

807
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 1: Care do yeah, we don't care to do it.

808
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:32,839
Speaker 2: And if they say we don't care, do it, then

809
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 2: we can just go ahead and do it. We have

810
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 2: the stone sculpture. Steve Shen is ready to sculpt it.

811
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 2: If we can raise the money for that, that would

812
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 2: be amazing.

813
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: I feel like we need to. I know. I think

814
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 1: a lot of times we reach out to people for

815
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 1: things and they don't believe us or they don't understand.

816
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,399
Speaker 1: And yeah, I reached out to get the Beavers back

817
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: in Baltimore so many times, and I got in touch

818
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: with the woman and she was like, oh, okay, and

819
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, no, We'll get hundreds of people to

820
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: the Imax and watch the Beavers Imax back in Baltimore.

821
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:05,919
Speaker 1: She's like, oh, that's cool. I'm like, no, we would

822
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:07,439
Speaker 1: love to do it, and here are the dates we'd

823
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,359
Speaker 1: like to do it, whenever it's easy for you. People

824
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 1: might come dressed as bananas, will probably come dress as

825
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,799
Speaker 1: beavers and logs. And she was like, yeah, I just

826
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,280
Speaker 1: don't think we'll be able to do it this year.

827
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: And I'm like what about next year? And it's like, yeah,

828
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 1: I don't know, and I'm like I don't Maybe I

829
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 1: just don't understand capitalism. I'm saying, we will buy tickets

830
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: to fill your movie theater.

831
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 2: Three to five hundred people will come to watch one

832
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 2: imax that you already owned that you don't need to purchase.

833
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: Yes, I think everybody once, just show one time. Well,

834
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: I'm not going to give up. That's the difference. I'm

835
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 1: not giving up like Tara Dower finishing the Appalachian Trail.

836
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to see this through and get the beavers

837
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: back in Baltimore. I'm going to send us strongly worded

838
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 1: postcard this evening. Even damn. Well, that's cool. We had

839
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: a giant duck on campus at UMass that we named

840
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,760
Speaker 1: Curly because he was about three or four times bigger

841
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:06,359
Speaker 1: than all the other ducks. He had a curly tail,

842
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: and then we would feed him macaroons, so we also

843
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 1: called him duck a run but we would go to

844
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:16,280
Speaker 1: lunch and then we would all take macaroons and walk

845
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 1: to the lake and specifically feed Curly and talk to

846
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 1: him like he was our best friend. And then twenty

847
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: years later we went back for a reunion, and you know,

848
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 1: there was a duck that was bigger than all the

849
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: other ducks, and so we just called him Curly and

850
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: fed them some macaroons.

851
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 2: You know that's pretty great. Also, ah Man, that feeling,

852
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 2: I remember that feeling specifically of finishing lunch, and if

853
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 2: you didn't have a class like directly after the best lunch,

854
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,879
Speaker 2: then it was like you're not going to go home

855
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 2: right now and definitely not start doing homework because you

856
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,760
Speaker 2: maybe have a class at like three or four or something.

857
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 2: So you're just like on campus with friends and just

858
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 2: having a nice time pleasant. I can just picture it

859
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,799
Speaker 2: a fall. Yeah, it's just starting to get chilly out.

860
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 1: Oh, we're gonna go throw the frisbee around, hang out

861
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:11,919
Speaker 1: by the student Yeah. I mean, UMass was so great

862
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: because it's so liberal. It's so liberal and progressive. That'd

863
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,760
Speaker 1: be like the Cannabis Reform Coalitions doing a bake sale

864
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: and you're like, great, let's check that out. And then

865
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 1: it'd be like the Young Feminist hasa Kasa club is

866
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,359
Speaker 1: going to do a drum circle, and you go, I'll

867
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 1: be there for that too. It was just endless. The

868
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 1: Vegan student Union is going to do something great, I'll

869
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: eat some stuff like. It was just so fun to

870
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:38,760
Speaker 1: participate in every activity. It really was. We were shooting

871
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,320
Speaker 1: a sketch once in UMass has like the tallest library

872
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,240
Speaker 1: in the country. It's not the best or the biggest

873
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: it's just the tallest. It's just a big red eyesore

874
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 1: right in the middle of AMers. And we were shooting

875
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 1: a sketch about a section because I think it's like

876
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 1: twenty six floors or something. So one of the floors

877
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 1: was like just a humping section, and this guy kept

878
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 1: trying to get a book and read, and then we

879
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 1: would just close in on him and start humping them.

880
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 1: I mean, we knew the guy who was another actor

881
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 1: on the show. But while we were shooting that, we

882
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: found two couples having sex in the library, actual couples,

883
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 1: not us, And so one was like on a desk

884
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: on the floor we were shooting at just then the

885
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:16,919
Speaker 1: girl was just sitting on his lap. And then when

886
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: we were going down to the end of the sketch

887
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 1: was the guy that kept getting humped in the library

888
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:24,320
Speaker 1: just runs out of there, goes down the elevator and

889
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:26,319
Speaker 1: he's walking across campus and then I shot it from

890
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 1: the twenty sixth floor of him looking really small, and

891
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 1: then these two guys just come running in and tack

892
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 1: them and try hump them. And while I was going

893
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 1: down the stairs, there was a couple having sex standing

894
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 1: in the stairwell of the Unas library.

895
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,919
Speaker 2: So I mean, look, you're going to take a bunch

896
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 2: of eighteen and nineteen year olds and then give them

897
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:48,359
Speaker 2: all roommates. Yeah, the bed is directly across. You gotta

898
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,840
Speaker 2: find a place to hump. I do I remember humping

899
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 2: in the library?

900
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, college.

901
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 2: Because it was like what, you know, what are we

902
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 2: going to do? Otherwise you're having sex in front of someone.

903
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 2: They try and sleep like that's your other option, which

904
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:04,839
Speaker 2: is weird. It's weirder to do that.

905
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 1: I agree. I agree. It's more private, and I mean,

906
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 1: what is a library but a hotel without beds? It's

907
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 1: it's also building a library.

908
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 2: Check out at our library there was there was like

909
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 2: study rooms, so there was like you go in and

910
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 2: close the door and then you had like your own room.

911
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 2: It was like a small room, but perfect for humping.

912
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 1: Did you ever have did you ever date when you

913
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 1: were a teenager or in your early twenties? Anybody that

914
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:38,360
Speaker 1: liked Victorious Secret, like that War of Victoria's Secret Underwear

915
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: and bras?

916
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:40,400
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm sure.

917
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. It was so popular.

918
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 2: It was just everywhere.

919
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: It was everywhere. I thought about this for so long,

920
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 1: But whenever you're a guy and you go in there

921
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: and you're a normal guy. You're either in there with

922
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 1: someone you're dating or married to, or you're in there

923
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 1: buying something for somebody as a gift. It is. You

924
00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 1: don't touch anything because you don't want to seem like

925
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 1: a creep. You know, you just do a lot of

926
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 1: like arms behind you, eyebrowsing, and like.

927
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:09,400
Speaker 2: You see we go to Victoria's Secrets differently, Scotty, you

928
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 2: touch them all. Just put it right on my head.

929
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 2: I want to put them all on my head. See

930
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 2: how many I could fit on my head before they

931
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,280
Speaker 2: asked me to please leave the store.

932
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm looking at it like it's it's pottery from Carthage.

933
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 1: I'm just like interesting, interesting now this is. And then

934
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 1: you like walk around a mannequin and it's got a

935
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 1: be a pearl thong all pearls, and you don't want

936
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:32,399
Speaker 1: to look at it too long. But I also want

937
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: to give it its due, Like I appreciate the design involve,

938
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 1: but I always wondered why they didn't. I think they

939
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 1: would sell. I think they'd still be number one in

940
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 1: the underwear game if if in the back they had

941
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 1: a bar and when you were you could only have

942
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 1: two drinks. But once you paid that drink, they gave

943
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,359
Speaker 1: you a shopping bag and then anything you put in

944
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:57,400
Speaker 1: that shopping bag, you don't have to check out. It

945
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 1: just scans you out the door. It just has whatever

946
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 1: RFD or whatever those things are. And I think they

947
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: would sell if, like nervous guys could go in there

948
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:09,840
Speaker 1: and have just two stiff cocktails and then get a

949
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,799
Speaker 1: bag and then just do quick, just throw it in

950
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:14,279
Speaker 1: the bag and walk out the door and it just

951
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 1: charges their credit card and they're back out in the

952
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 1: mall and on their way to Brookstone. I think that

953
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 1: that would that company would rival Facebook.

954
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 2: I think that's a brilliant idea Scottie.

955
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 1: It would be to.

956
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 2: Think of that. When you were in college, the tech

957
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:30,359
Speaker 2: wasn't there.

958
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 1: But yes, I thought about it back then, but now

959
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 1: we have the tech. I mean now when I go

960
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 1: to Dodger Stadium, you walk around and you walk in

961
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,320
Speaker 1: and you walk out with stuff and it somehow charges

962
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 1: you or well, we did the story that it was

963
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 1: just people watching you on cameras in India that was

964
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:47,239
Speaker 1: counting it.

965
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 2: It's so crazy.

966
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, we all thought it was a magic technology. It's

967
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 1: just people in India watching you on camera being like people.

968
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:58,919
Speaker 1: Snickers number two, Snickers number three, Oh man, so good?

969
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 1: Speaking of this is a you're gonna like this one? Well, okay,

970
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do a bananas one. I'll do. I'll save

971
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: this sort of smarty pants one for another EPI. Ali

972
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 1: La Chappelle sent this in Thank you, Ali La Chappelle.

973
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:15,320
Speaker 1: World's oldest cheese found on thirty six thousand year old

974
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:21,800
Speaker 1: Chinese mummies. The world's oldest cheese was found on thirty

975
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 1: six hundred year old Chinese mummies. WHOA. This was in

976
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 1: Live Science.

977
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 2: I mean I'm finding out two things. One China had mummies, okay,

978
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 2: Two they have cheese.

979
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. You don't think of that Chinese cheese very often.

980
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:45,359
Speaker 1: You know, I'm in Italy right now. Nobody over here

981
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:48,880
Speaker 1: has talked about that Chinese cheese. I keep bringing it

982
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:51,879
Speaker 1: up to everybody, but nobody wants to talk about it.

983
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:54,319
Speaker 1: Like y'all have had that old old you know that

984
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 1: good stuff, that old. You think this parmesan's old? You've

985
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: never had that Chinese cheese. This was written by Jennifer Naliwiki.

986
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,840
Speaker 1: Oh she is good when it comes to cutting the cheese.

987
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:11,799
Speaker 1: It's Jennifer Naliwiki for Live science dot Com. The Bronze

988
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 1: age coffin was found during an excavation of the ji

989
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:18,919
Speaker 1: I'm Gonna go jao Hi Cemetery in two thousand and three.

990
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,360
Speaker 1: When the thirty six hundred year old coffin of a

991
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:25,839
Speaker 1: young woman was unearthed in northwestern China two decades ago,

992
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:32,279
Speaker 1: archaeologist uncovered a puzzling substance draped around her neck like jewelry. Remarkably,

993
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: it turned out to be cheese. It's so good that

994
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 1: Chinese cheese. Man, I'm telling you, it's out there. Researchers

995
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 1: now believe it's the oldest known cheese ever discovered. While

996
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 1: regular cheese is soft, this one has dried out well,

997
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: I'd hope so, after six years, becoming dense heart and powdery,

998
00:52:56,680 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 1: said Fu Jaume Paleo geneticist at the Chinese Academy of

999
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 1: Sciences in Beijing and co author of a study published

1000
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 1: on Tuesday in Cell c e LL That Great Specific

1001
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 1: magazine for Everyone. In an interview with NBC News, Fu

1002
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: explained that DNA analysis of the cheese sheds light on

1003
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: the lives of the ji jiao Hi people who lived

1004
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 1: in what is now Xingjiang, but also of the mammals

1005
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:34,800
Speaker 1: they raised and the evolution of animal husbandry in East Asia.

1006
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: Oh wow, animal husbandry is a crazy funny name for something.

1007
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 1: It's so it's adorable and stupid simultaneously. And also, let's

1008
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 1: not fix it. It's just dumb. Yeah, keep it animal husbandry.

1009
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 1: Let's keep it. We don't need to update this and

1010
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 1: make it more progressive. It's stupid. Let's let it be dumb.

1011
00:53:56,840 --> 00:54:00,160
Speaker 1: The bronze age coffin was found during the excavation of

1012
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 1: the cemetery. Thanks to the arid climate of the Turine

1013
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 1: Basin desert, the woman's coffin was exceptionally well preserved, as

1014
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 1: were her boots, hat, and the cheese that adorned her body.

1015
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:15,479
Speaker 1: Foo noted in ancient barrel practices, significant items were often

1016
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 1: placed alongside the deceased, and the discovery of I think

1017
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:23,720
Speaker 1: it's keifer cheese, right, kefer f i r our kafir.

1018
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 1: Let's go kir kafir cheese near, though I've read it

1019
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,360
Speaker 1: so many times that I've never said it, So let's go.

1020
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 1: Discovery of kafir cheese near the woman suggests that cheese

1021
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 1: played a crucial role in their daily lives. Cheese production

1022
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 1: has been recorded in history for millennia, with murals and

1023
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:44,719
Speaker 1: ancient Egyptian tombs dating back to two thousand BC. European

1024
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:48,800
Speaker 1: cheese making evidence goes back to seven thousand years. However,

1025
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 1: the dream bas and cheese samples are the oldest physical

1026
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:53,760
Speaker 1: examples of cheese today.

1027
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 2: Look at that.

1028
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:56,839
Speaker 1: This is a huge discovery.

1029
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:58,359
Speaker 2: It's a big discovery.

1030
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 1: They discovered samples in three tombs. They analyzed the DNA

1031
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 1: of all of them, tracing the evolutionary of bacteria involved

1032
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 1: in cheese making over thousands of years. The cheese was

1033
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 1: identified as kifer or kaffir or key fair or just kate.

1034
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 1: You know keyfer cheese, Keefer Sutherland needs key for cheese

1035
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 1: made from fermenting milk with what is it? Keffer k

1036
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:27,120
Speaker 1: kaffir made with kaffir grains. Evidence of both calid goat

1037
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 1: milk was found at the samples. There you go, there,

1038
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 1: milk and everything back then. And the study highlights this

1039
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 1: is the part that really does wet my whistle. The

1040
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:41,319
Speaker 1: study also highlights how the Jiaohe people, despite being genetically

1041
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 1: lactose intolerant, consumed dairy before the advent of pasteurization. Refrigeration

1042
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:51,360
Speaker 1: cheese production, which reduces lactose levels, allowed them to include

1043
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 1: dairy into their diet.

1044
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 2: Fascinating.

1045
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 1: Wow, it's so good they're willing to make a run

1046
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 1: for it, you know. Oh man, pretty damn good.

1047
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 2: Pretty good.

1048
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:06,920
Speaker 1: Thank you, Scotty, Thank you, Kurtie b. Thank you. Everybody
