Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta back it up. You gotta back it

52
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 2: up when you start. And this gentle person does. Picture

53
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: this seven thirty am. You are a gas station employee

54
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: any small but not rural town situated along a highway.

55
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 2: Not many customers come in on Sunday mornings, so you

56
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 2: basically get to sit on your butt, relax, and play

57
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: on your phone. This is my life and it absolutely

58
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: sucks ass. This person's a very good writer. So I'm

59
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: just relaxing, as I said, And a customer pulls up.

60
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: She seems like a regular old lady, probably stopping by

61
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: for chips before church.

62
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 4: I love that detail.

63
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.

64
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: I haven't been to church in a long time, but

65
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: if I ever have to go again, I'm going to

66
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 2: buy a nice bag of chips before I go.

67
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 3: I know it's your treat to have to then sit

68
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 3: through church.

69
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it'll make that the blood of Christ

70
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: go down a little smooth there.

71
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 3: I remember going to church where like at the point

72
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 3: of yeah, And this was when I even liked being Catholic.

73
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 3: I dislike church so much that I would like I

74
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 3: knew all of the feelings of each piece of the

75
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 3: mass and how I would feel about how close they

76
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 3: were to the end. Yes, like that moment when those

77
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 3: fucking bells were ringing the consecration is happening, you're just like,

78
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 3: all right, we just got to get through the homily.

79
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 3: Then we're done. Then we're done. Then we're done. And

80
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 3: then it's like when that homily is finished and they

81
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 3: say like whatever, praise be blah blah blah blah, and

82
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 3: you're just like, oh, yeah, we got five more minutis yeah.

83
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 3: And then when I was done, you were just like, oh,

84
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 3: it feels so good.

85
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 4: That was like the best part.

86
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: I'm yeah, after everybody goes and gets the Eucharist and

87
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 2: then you go and you kneel and you kind of

88
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: fake pray it out for five minutes or last, the

89
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 2: peace be with you is the best part. Shaking hands

90
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 2: and just saying peace be with you. It's so nice.

91
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: I wish we did that.

92
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 4: At bars before we started drinking. Agreed, peace be with you.

93
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 2: No matter what happens after these three drinks, peace be

94
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 2: with you.

95
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 4: We're starting on a high note.

96
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 2: So I thought she, this nice old lady, was just stopping,

97
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 2: but her chips before church.

98
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 4: But no.

99
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 2: She steps out of the car, slams the door, and

100
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 2: bolts directly into the store. I'm here thinking this is

101
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 2: a bathroom emergency. Oh yeah, I bet a lot of

102
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 2: ban animals were. I bet Kurt was here. We go,

103
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: But instead she walks directly up to my till says no, hellos, no,

104
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 2: how are you at all?

105
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 4: She just gets straight to the point. She says, quote, listen,

106
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 4: I have a.

107
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: Pet pig in the back seat, and I need you

108
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 2: to let me bring her into the store. You didn't

109
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 2: see that coming, did you?

110
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: No?

111
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 4: I did not.

112
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 2: Oh I love it. I know neither did I. I

113
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: need you to let me bring her into the store.

114
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 2: Of course, say no, because I know, damn well that

115
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: thing's gonna shit all over my floor.

116
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 4: This old woman absolutely loses her mind at me and

117
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 4: starts screaming, quote.

118
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 2: Dear God, please please, she's gonna jump out the back seat.

119
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 4: She's gonna get through that window and run away.

120
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: Please please, please, please, please let me bring her in here.

121
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 2: I look out at her gray Toyota Camery excuse me, Corolla,

122
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 2: the smaller car, and see that in the back seat

123
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 2: is an at least two one hundred and fifty pound

124
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: black pig wearing a pink bow tie.

125
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 4: Just straight chilling there looking at me.

126
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: Oh, there's absolutely no way that pig is going to

127
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 2: get fit through the window. I'm impressed at how she

128
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 2: even fit it into the car. I stay on my

129
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 2: ground because I don't want to have to clean up

130
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 2: pig shit at seven am on a Sunday morning. So

131
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 2: she gets so pissed off she leaves. I of course

132
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 2: watch this lady drive away and get the glorious site

133
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: of her bumper dragging along the pavement.

134
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 4: And this pig must have been monster.

135
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 2: I have no idea what she wanted from me, or

136
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 2: why she was so desperate to let me let her

137
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 2: pig into the store, or why it was so upsetting

138
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: me neither.

139
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 3: My.

140
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 2: But what I was more concerned about is what in

141
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 2: God's name was the situation beforehand where she has this

142
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 2: big ass pig wearing a pink bow tie in the

143
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 2: backseat of a Corolla.

144
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 4: My best guess she stole it.

145
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 2: More of the story is never ever take the Sunday

146
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 2: morning shift at a gas station.

147
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 4: I love that story.

148
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 3: Oh that's so much.

149
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 2: And that was sent in by Ray and the ig

150
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 2: is R M. Underscore Naden. So maybe Ray Naden, you

151
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 2: are a great writer.

152
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 3: Wow that that story tease me up so perfectly good.

153
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 3: But for a story that I don't I haven't thought

154
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 3: of in years.

155
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 4: I love those. This was.

156
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 3: Nineteen ninety nine, maybe two thousand.

157
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 4: Williamsburg. Yeah, but when Williamsburg was.

158
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 3: Like in ninety eight, I think Williamsburg was like voted

159
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 3: the coolest place to live by it just started to

160
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 3: like go. But there was still a time in Williamsburg

161
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 3: where it was like like there was a really cool

162
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 3: underground shit happening, like just off Bedford. You know, it's

163
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 3: like just it wasn't just like what it is now,

164
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 3: and there was this hat this party. We went to

165
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 3: warehouse party where I don't know why, and I think

166
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 3: maybe it a dance studio, but they had installed a

167
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 3: secondary floor to the place, which was so it was

168
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 3: maybe just like you came and you like went up

169
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 3: maybe like three inches and then it was bouncy. So

170
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 3: the whole floor was bouncy, and it was like you know,

171
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 3: techno music and everyone's dancing, naked people, there's fire twirling,

172
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 3: there's that kind of thing, and we take ecstasy because

173
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 3: it wasn't called molly. Back then it was ecstasy and

174
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 3: it was very speedy. Yes, And we have this amazing

175
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 3: time dancing on this bouncy floor in Williamsburg.

Speaker 4: I am envious. Five am comes around, we all pile out.

177
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 3: We're coming down off of ecstasy, still grinding our teeth,

Speaker 2: they dropped us, probably near us, probably in Park Slope

218
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: or Windsor Terrace. But that that kind of New York

219
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 2: street negotiation at four him is so fun because I

220
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: knew he would say yes. And while so we were broke,

221
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,559

238
00:11:58,360 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 4: Engelbert Mantooth.

239
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 3: Okay, it's this funny, Kurt, You guys are truly two

240
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 3: of the best in the biz. A recent Minnesota when

241
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 3: you talked about the dude giving himself a vacuum assisted

242
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 3: hummer at work made me think you might want to

243
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 3: hear about my most eccentric former coworker, a man i'll

244
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 3: call Darryl love a Darryl. Darryl and I worked for

245
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 3: a vegan meat company located somewhere in the Pacific Northwest.

246
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 3: On today I arrived for my interview, I saw that

247
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 3: there was an ambulance parked in front of the building,

248
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 3: and my first thought was, Oh God, I hope nobody's hurt.

249
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 3: Then I realized that the ambulance was an older model

250
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 3: and from Austin, Texas. Next, I noticed an extension court

251
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 3: sticking out the back and running to the fake meat factory.

252
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 4: Being a murderino.

253
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 3: My first thought was, is there a freezer with a

254
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 3: dead body in the back of that ambulances. There wasn't

255
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 3: more on the contents later, but I did learn during

256
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 3: my first week that the ambulance was in fact Daryl's ride,

257
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 3: and that Darryl was the company's quote refrigeration specialist. You

258
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 3: just drive around in an ambulance.

259
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 4: I love that.

260
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 3: Now I will hit you with a barrage. Darryl facts.

261
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 3: Darryl always wore an eye patch over his left eye,

262
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 3: but under his glasses that he would sometimes lift up

263
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 3: to look at things.

264
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 4: Okay.

265
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 3: He often carried around a small bucket full of bleach

266
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 3: water that he would use to wipe down the handles

267
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 3: of all the doors before he would touch them ahead

268
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 3: of his time.

269
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 4: Don't hate that.

270
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 3: He slept on a pallette covered in plastic bags above

271
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 3: the boiler room. The room was mostly bar except for

272
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 3: one piece of string stretched from one wall to the other,

273
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 3: where he hung seven identical navy and white striped polo shirts.

274
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 3: He collected jet skis and would often get in trouble

275
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 3: with the owner for leaving them parked in the company warehouse.

276
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 3: Ok He would use our computers at night for god

277
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 3: knows what until we all started password protecting them, and

278
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 3: then he started using the owner's computer. Neighboring businesses would

279
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 3: complain that he would piss in jars and then dump

280
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 3: them into the bushes in front of our building. Fair,

281
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 3: an accusation that Daryl vehemently denied. That should be enough

282
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 3: background for you to understand the brand of weirdo.

283
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 4: Darryl is.

284
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 3: I was fascinated by him, but my coworker, we will

285
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 3: call her Stephanie, hated him. Stephanie told me that Darryl

286
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 3: once snapped at her and he was verbally abusive to her,

287
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 3: so she thought he might get violent. I never saw

288
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 3: that side of him.

289
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 4: But so.

290
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 3: That's what we're learning about Daryl of anything, and you

291
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 3: don't have to feel bad for him. So one day,

292
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 3: Stephanie and I are working on packing up a bunch

293
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 3: of stuff for a trade show. Should appear, but our

294
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 3: buddy Daryl was dressed up in a ratty, old, stained

295
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 3: up Easter bunny suit and carrying a pink basket with

296
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 3: assorted Easter candies. And this is at work. This is

297
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 3: a thing that's happening at work. My Stephanie tensed up

298
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 3: and put on her leave me the fuck alone face.

299
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 3: Daryl did not catch her vibe. He hopped over and said,

300
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 3: who's going to hop for the Easter bunny. I immediately

301
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 3: stood up and obeyed the request, hopping around in a

302
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 3: circle like a bunny, which made Darryl chuckle. He handed

303
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 3: me a piece of candy, and then he turned to Stephanie, who,

304
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 3: without missing a beat, said, I'm not hopping for any

305
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 3: fucking candy, which point Darryl leaned over until his bunny

306
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 3: ear was touching the top of Stephanie's head and sort

307
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 3: of gently tapped her a few times with this while saying, oh, Stephanie, yes.

308
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 3: I realized immediately that this when this happened, I needed

309
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 3: to document the moment so my friends would believe me

310
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 3: when I told them. I've attached a photo that was

311
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 3: taken by Stephanie mere minutes after the above interaction. I

312
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 3: always thought that Daryl looks a little like Rick Steves.

313
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 3: The jovial travel were from PBS. He's let me know

314
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 3: what you think ps his ambulance.

315
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: His.

316
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 4: Oh got him.

317
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 3: His ambulance was full of stuff and plastic grocery bags

318
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 3: that went almost to the ceiling. I once saw him

319
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 3: dive in to retrieve something the way Scrooge, big head first,

320
00:15:58,880 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 3: feet sticking out.

321
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.

322
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 2: Oh we we could do We could do a full

323
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 2: Banana's episode about strange coworkers. I love a strange cowork

324
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 2: as long as they'd all turn the corner and get

325
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 2: violent or you know, dangerous. But it is weird that

326
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 2: in life, like the office has, you know, there used

327
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 2: to be social clubs. Bars are still social clubs, but

328
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 2: people used to have bridge clubs and elk lodges and

329
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 2: all that stuff is now. It's like you pretty much

330
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 2: is the people you work with with your friends, especially

331
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 2: when you move to a new place and.

332
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 3: You don't get to choose them, you know exactly.

333
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 4: You and I worked on Money from Strangers, which was

334
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 4: a game show on MTV, and.

335
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 2: There was a guy I won't name his name and

336
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 2: you might not even remember him because he actually got

337
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 2: fired the second season that show. But the first day

338
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 2: of work, it was my first writing job on Mega Drive.

339
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 2: He worked on that, and he, uh, you know, I'm

340
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 2: just it's my first writing job, so I'm just being

341
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 2: nice to everybody. I also don't know what every I

342
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 2: don't know what an associate producer is. I don't know

343
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 2: what a product supervisor is. Like you just kind of

344
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 2: assume that you're the low man on the totem pole

345
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 2: if you're a normal human being.

346
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 4: So I did. So.

347
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 2: I was reading Blood Meridian at the time by Cormack McCarthy,

348
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 2: and so we had a half day and I get

349
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 2: on the subway and this dude gets on and we

350
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 2: had no conversation. My earbuds are in I'm reading this

351
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 2: book and he kind of like taps me on the

352
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 2: shoulder and I see him, and I'm like, hey, man,

353
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 2: and I like take my earbreds out and he's like

354
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 2: Blood Meridian. Great book, great, great book.

355
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 4: And I go yeah, yeah. He's like, do you like it?

356
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 4: I go yeah, I do.

357
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 2: And meanwhile, I should say that the context of this

358
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 2: is I was excited to make a new friend. I

359
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 2: was on the F train heading bou out of the

360
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 2: eight train going back to Brooklyn and going.

361
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 4: Okay, maybe this guy's cool.

362
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 2: Then the next thing he said to me let me

363
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 2: know that I would never be friends with this person again.

364
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 4: You like it? Yeah, it's really good, ah Man, Blood Meridian.

365
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 2: When I was in college, me and two of my

366
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 2: best friends used to sit on the roof in the

367
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 2: middle of the nite and read it till our lungs

368
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 2: gave out. That's what he said to me, and I

369
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 2: went what he goes, Oh, We would read it and

370
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 2: then when our throats would start to hurt, we'd pass

371
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 2: it to the next guy and he'd pick up where

372
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 2: we left off. So for that doesn't seem that insane,

373
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 2: but it is the most insane thing you can say

374
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 2: to somebody you're just meeting for the first time. Ultimately,

375
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 2: one of the reasons this Sky got fired. Also Blood

376
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 2: Breeding for those.

377
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 3: Such a disturbing book.

378
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 4: It's a Western written by Corman.

379
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 2: It's so dark, it's really drags, it's slow. It is

380
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 2: not a page turner. You gotta commit. It's got amazing scenes.

381
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 2: But the fact that three young men would take turns reading,

382
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 2: which is also a lie. It's also just the craziest

383
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: lie to your lungs gave out. So what made me

384
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 2: think of this is all money from strangers when he

385
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 2: got fired. One of the reasons he got fired is

386
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: one day he's normally really sweet and weird, he comes

387
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 2: and he slams down his bag and I go, what's up?

388
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 4: Man?

389
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 2: Are you okay? Oh my gosh, we're getting a bananas

390
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 2: call from Sweden? Should I answer this?

391
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 4: Yep? Oh yeah, banana phone. This is Scotti.

392
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:10,959
Speaker 3: I don't know Scotty.

393
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: This is Jonas from Sweden.

394

396
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 2: the best time to call bananas out here.

Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you. That's so wonderful.

398
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: So here's the thing.

399
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 2: I just listened to your last episode and a fault

400
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 2: struck me.

Speaker 3: You mentioned you're one of those persons who still sent.

402
