I'm runner up on the first and 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.720 only season of NBC's America's Biggest Show Off. And I 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:06.880 have a b a. In Costume Technology from Pranceton University 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:10.480 and Prance in Arizona. So recently, I was in my 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:14.360 dad's new fancy home for my stepsister's eighth grade graduation 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:17.280 party when I got a call from my alma mother 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:21.080 saying that the whole school fell into the Grand Canyon 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:25.880 and as such, the school and my degree lost its accreditation. Okay, 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:29.120 and then my stepmom, Sharon told me that I was 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:31.560 an idiot who would never amount to anything. And you 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:35.600 know what, Now I have a podcast and only smart 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:39.520 people have podcast. So who's the dummy who bubbled their 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:42.760 name incorrectly and subsequently got the world's first and so 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:46.320 far only negative say t score Sharon, and to prove 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:48.959 Sharon even more wrong, I thought I'd start an educational 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:52.160 podcast to show her and more importantly, my dad, how 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:54.720 smart I actually am. And Dad, if you're listening, please 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:56.760 don't forget to pick me up today after I finished recording, 0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:58.800 like you did last time when you and Sharon went 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:00.520 to that David Busters and I just the night here, 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:03.920 please pick me up. So join each week to hear 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:07.120 me interview experts and fields ranging from architecture to zoology, 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.679 to hear me help them learn a thing or two 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:11.720 about their field. And hey, who knows, maybe I'm going 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:13.920 to learn a thing or two myself, which seems highly 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:15.439 unlikely because I got an E n f J on 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.199 my recent i Q test, So I'm pretty smart. Um. 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:21.439 But this is are you there, Dad, it's me Yoko. 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:29.559 So in this first segment, because this is an educational podcast, 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:33.080 I'm going to start off each podcast by educating the 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:36.200 listeners on an event in history and talk about how 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.480 I would have handled it differently in a segment called 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:48.719 they should Have Known. In this first they should have Known, 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.439 we're going to talk about POMPEII. Okay, so for those 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:54.640 of you who don't know what POMPEII is because you're dumb. 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:58.040 I'm here to help. It's a city in Old Italy 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:02.160 that had this big volcano and basically like everyone died, 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:05.800 like the lava and the volcano. Guests like it, like, um, 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:09.400 what's the word suffocated? It suffocated everyone and then they 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:12.640 just went like they died. So how have I handled it? 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.360 I was just seeing the volcano erupting, and I would 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:16.920 have gotten into my Honda c RV and I would 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.880 have driven off, like It's like, come on, people, Like 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:21.960 people don't do anything unless they see someone else do. 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:23.960 It's like how my dad when I was a kid, 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:25.880 he wouldn't show up to my soccer games until he 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:27.600 saw all the other dad's doing it. And then his 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.200 favorite thing became going to anyone's soccer game but mine, 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:34.280 which is fine, Like I'm totally fine. That's cool. Anyway. 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:36.360 This is not to say this is my advice for 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.120 this episode. If you see a volcano, drive away in 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:48.160 your Honda c RV. So in this next segment called 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:51.200 you should Have Known, I bring it experts in their 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.600 field to talk about their studies and their work. Again, 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:57.720 because this is an educational podcast and speaking of Pompey 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:01.880 and old stuff. This week's guest is esteemed Department head 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:11.720 of Archaeology from Vanderbilt University, Professor to be treat White. 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:15.280 I'm so excited to have you on board, Professor. It 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:18.440 is an honor to be here with you, Yoko. Thank 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:21.120 you so much for reaching out. Yes, thank you so 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.880 much for responding. Um, I really appreciate it. And my 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:26.960 producers UM said that Instagram was an appropriate way to 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.840 reach out. So I'm sorry about some of those messages. 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.480 As I said, It's okay, I mixed up who I 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:34.920 send things to all the time, and I will not 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:37.400 share those pictures with anyone. Thank you so much. I 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:39.280 appreciate that because I did see that you screenshot at 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:42.000 them because Instagram tells you that, but you can have 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:45.000 those for yourself. I just show that I'm keeping them 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:48.640 safe for you. Wow. And that's crazy because you're an archaeologist, 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.760 so you do things like that all the time. Wow. Yeah, 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:56.240 it was kind of a digital dig. Wow. Okay, So, Professor, 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.560 I'm just so interested in archaeology, you know, like especially 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:01.440 and so you're you're a professor of the archaeology of 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:05.520 the America's right, correct, Yes, like Atlantis because I love 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:10.240 I love Georgia in the spring. Yeah. So, um, we're 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:13.040 actually talking about four different places here, right. So Georgia 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.080 is a state as well as the country. In Atlantis 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:18.200 is a mythical city underneath water in Atlanta is a 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:21.360 city in Georgia, which is the state in America. Now, 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:24.720 if you've seen the Elton John animated movie of Atlantis, 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:28.679 you'll notice it doesn't feel real. And that's something that 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:30.640 you should trust in your gut because to my knowledge, 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:33.079 Atlantis is not a real place. Are you sure? Because 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:36.120 that guy and it was pretty hot. Well, I mean, 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:38.160 even if you're animated, if you get cast in a 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.920 Disney movie, you've gotta you've gotta be chiseled. But to 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:44.000 my studies, into my knowledge of my colleagues information, I 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.560 do not believe it is a real place. Are you sure? 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:49.840 Because my crush got pretty real? It was pretty Yeah, 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:51.400 it's not. I mean, it is a real hotel in 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:55.680 the Bahamas where sometimes live with um Kelly. You know, 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:58.160 we'll go for a week. But otherwise no, I don't 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:02.160 believe it is a underwater village. Oh well, this is 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:06.520 kind of a bummer to start the podcast off. Okay, Um, 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:08.520 there's a lot of places that are real, and I'm 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:10.480 happy to talk about them. They some of them are 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:13.400 even more exciting than what we know to be the 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:18.480 myth of Atlantis. Okay, well, I guess just God, this sucks. 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:21.040 I'm sorry. Do I have to keep doing this? Do 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:23.800 I have to keep recording? Okay? My producers saying I 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:27.720 have to cute anyway? Sorry? Okay, So can you okay, whatever? 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:29.400 Can you just tell me, like, what makes the findings 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:33.360 in the America unique? I guess from Georgia or whatever. 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:36.280 You were saying, Well, we don't have time for everything. 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:38.640 I'll tell you that much. I can keep you hostage 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.920 with some of this information. So there's so many interesting 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:45.920 findings that make North American archaeology interesting. And I'll tell 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:48.480 you one of the most recent ones that I found. Um, 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:51.880 A lot of people say horses were brought over to 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.959 the America's by Columbus. Have you heard that before? Yoko? 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:59.880 What have you ever heard that? I've seen the movie Spirit, 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.760 and I know that horses were born here. Well, yes, 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:04.720 horses are born all over the place if they if 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:09.239 their parents were there. But horses were actually here before Columbus, 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:12.560 and they were prevalent and one of the most unique 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:16.800 ways that we know that is many Native American indigenous 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:20.240 tripes had horses with longer hair, and so we have 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:26.160 found the material remains of horse hair clips from thousands 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:29.560 of years ago. In fact, the first banana clip was 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:33.040 used on a horse in North America thousands of years ago. 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:36.640 Thousands of years ago. Tell me that's not interesting. Like 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:39.680 the eighties, you know what, it could have been the 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:45.440 thousand eighties, the what or the zero eighties. Yeah, long, 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:48.400 long time ago, well before anyone we knew was alive. 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:51.800 You mean, they're older than than John Stamos, are well 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:57.360 well older than John Stamos. Yeah, John Stamos, his great 0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:00.360 great great great great grandparents weren't around when this horse 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:05.880 banana clip was first manufactured. Older than George Clooney, much 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:09.560 older than George Clooney, much older than George Clooney. Okay, 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:11.720 so the horses have been around for a long time 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:16.440 with long with long hairs. Yeah. Yeah. Horses are much 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:20.000 like humans where they are generational. So um, they don't 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:22.960 live forever, but they keep reproducing. Okay. So that's the 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:26.840 only thing that makes America unique, not Atlantis. That is 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:29.800 one of the most specific ones that I've recently learned 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:34.680 about um Atlantis. Again, it could be real. I'm sure 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:37.280 that if there is funding, they will continue to search 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:41.480 for it, but I don't think that they will find it. Okay, 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:44.000 well I have a question for you then. Okay, so 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:47.000 you say you're an archaeologist. Every archaeologist I've ever hooked 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:48.840 up with has a whip. Do you have a whip? 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:54.760 You know when you graduate from archaeology? Well, in my 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:57.080 where I got my doctorate, when you graduate from the 0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:59.840 archaeology department, instead of a diploma, they will give you 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:03.400 a whip. I turned it down. I turned it down. 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:05.600 I said, you know, if I have to use this 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:08.840 whip to get things on a dig, maybe I'm not 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:10.920 going about it the right way. That doesn't sound like 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:15.480 you're a real archaeologist. Then well, I certainly get I 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.240 get paid for it, and I teach it. But I 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:23.080 just feel the use of force is too much. Nothing 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:29.080 is worth hurting another human for. Are you sure? For me? 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:31.800 That's what my moral compass says. Do you are you 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:37.800 someone who hurts people? No, but sometimes my dad hurts 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:41.440 my feelings. I don't like to hear that. But you know, 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:45.840 I had a rough father too. Wait really, mh, you 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:48.000 have a father. I thought old people didn't have a 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:51.280 father because you're so old. Well I did. He has 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:55.760 since passed to the other side. But yeah, he pushed 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:58.800 me very hard. He wanted me to be a fly 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:02.080 fisherman like him, and he was rough with me and 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:04.280 would yell at me like catch the fisher, you're not 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:07.680 eating that kind of thing. And and but I'm here 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:11.280 and I'm able to be happy regardless of that relationships. 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:14.040 So I wish to say for you. Wait, okay, so 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:16.919 I'm I'm actually so. I was a really good student 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:20.720 in high school. Okay, I gotta um, I gotta be 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:25.240 on my AP World history test. Wow. Yeah, and you 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:28.119 said fishing. Were you a hunter and gatherer? Is that 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:32.080 something that you do? That is that is? Well, now 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:34.520 we are we are all more gatherers, right because you're 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:36.360 going to the grocery store and you're gathering. But that 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:38.720 is part of the human tradition. Yes, there were hunters 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:42.640 and there were gatherers, and that is before um oh lord, 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:46.840 I'm blanking, before crops became a thing. So before we 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:52.880 started before crops, yes, yes, like not into for these sure, yeah, 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:56.600 and and even even further back, um from that, there's 0:17:56.640 --> 0:18:00.000 agriculture is the word that I'm looking for. Agriculture. Before agriculture, 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:03.399 we were hunters and we were gatherers. Yeah, agriculture, now 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:07.760 that sounds fascinating. What's that all about? Agriculture is essentially 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:11.720 using the earth to um grow food or crops or 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:16.720 vegetables plants for our own purposes and mostly for eating. 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:19.080 So what does it mean when my step mom calls 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:23.760 me passive agri culture that she okay, that she's probably 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:27.880 saying passive aggressive, and passive aggressive is yeah, when you're 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:32.160 not the same thing. It. Well, if she's saying passive agriculture, 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:35.280 passive agriculture would be like a corn seed flies and 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:37.680 it just ends up growing somewhere. I don't think that's 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:40.480 what she means. Yeah, I think she means passive aggressive, 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:44.719 which just means you don't feel comfortable with your anger 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:47.120 or with your displeasure about something, and so you sort 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:49.280 of say it in a snide way rather than just 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:51.640 being upfront about it. Okay, you sound like my therapist 0:18:51.680 --> 0:19:10.600 cursed in now, so let's move on. Okay, okay, professor, 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:13.919 So you're saying that people came to the America, as 0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:18.920 you're saying, people like Colombo, he came over to America. Okay, 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:21.320 So I was doing a little bit of research before 0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:23.639 this because my producer told me I had to do 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:28.439 some preparation. Sure, whatever, she told me. When I was 0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:30.199 doing my research, she told me, looked this up and 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:31.879 it was actually kind of helpful. She said that people 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:39.560 came over to the America's from Asia on the bearing straight. Yes, yes, okay, 0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:42.240 can you tell us a little bit about that? Sure? Yes, 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:44.960 So when Columbus came over, there were already people in 0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:46.879 the America's. I hope that that's known in and like 0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:51.679 George Clooney, Uh maybe, yeah, that's maybe it could be. 0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:56.360 It's not like lander Garfield. Uh but well he would 0:19:56.400 --> 0:19:59.359 have been probably in the UK, but he maybe he 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:03.840 could have been here. Um. Yes, So mid Pangaea. Pangaea, 0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:07.240 of course, is when all of the continents basically divorced, 0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:11.360 got divorced. Um in mid Pangaea, when what is now 0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:14.960 modern day Russia and modern day Alaska, we're still touching. 0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:19.240 People did come over from East Asia and then populated 0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:23.080 the America's and we know that through archaeology because they 0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:27.919 left food wrappers as they walked. Isn't that interesting? They 0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:32.719 left food rappers. They left food rappers. They were like, 0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:36.960 who oh sorry, w R A P P E R S. 0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:40.280 So if you went to McDonald's burking in, your sandwich 0:20:40.359 --> 0:20:43.679 was wrapped in something. It was that because they were 0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:47.560 constantly on the move, they had to wrap their food 0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:49.280 because they didn't have a kitchen. You know when you're 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:51.359 when you're on the move. Uh, So they wrapped their 0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:55.640 food and leaves and cloth bark and and then those 0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:58.640 were strown about. Okay, I know exactly what you're talking 0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:02.720 about because my step mom, Sharon, sometimes used to make 0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:06.239 me pick up after her. Oh so I'm kind of 0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:10.200 like those people. So those are like my ancestors. Yes, well, 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:12.320 and if she is the one who's throwing the food rapper, 0:21:12.400 --> 0:21:15.399 she is like them. But you are still a good person. 0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:20.280 So no, Sharon does not get anything special. Sharon gets 0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:24.440 my dad and the house. I can have this one thing, okay, Yeah, 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:28.080 well then yes I have this one thing. You can yes, 0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:31.240 And I don't know, Sharon, but can you let me 0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:36.000 have this one thing? Yes? Yes I can. Okay, anyway, 0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:40.000 so you say the bearing straight question. Yeah, they're bearing 0:21:40.640 --> 0:21:45.400 bearing by or like a bearing gay. Okay, okay, well 0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:49.000 it did used to stretch across different continents, so it 0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:53.679 was pan continental. What because pan sexual? Is that what 0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:57.520 you were? What I'm gonna stick to archaeology. I tried 0:21:57.520 --> 0:21:59.160 to play your game, and it didn't really work out 0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:02.760 for me. What are you implying something? No? I was 0:22:03.000 --> 0:22:06.360 you you said is like you were using straight as 0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:09.160 in a sexual preference. And so then I was trying 0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:12.600 to make the same joke about being pan sexual, but 0:22:12.680 --> 0:22:14.400 it didn't work out for me, and I don't feel 0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:21.879 good about it. And again, I'm sorry that that was funny. Okay, 0:22:21.880 --> 0:22:24.000 So you keep talking about finding stuff like in the 0:22:24.080 --> 0:22:27.679 America's which is like really interesting. Sure, yeah, So I 0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:30.679 have a question. One time, I got really tipsy at 0:22:30.720 --> 0:22:33.720 my nieces graduation and we have annual passes to Disney World. 0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:35.800 So then I went to the French pavilion at Epcot 0:22:35.840 --> 0:22:37.800 and I kept digging. I just like kept kept kept digging, 0:22:38.080 --> 0:22:40.119 and I eventually almost found something. Does that make me 0:22:40.119 --> 0:22:43.560 an archaeologist? It does? It does? And this is one 0:22:43.600 --> 0:22:47.400 of the ways that we try to engage younger generations 0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:50.639 in the passion that is archaeology if you are finding 0:22:50.720 --> 0:22:55.080 material remains that leads you to investigate human history or 0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:58.719 history in general. Yes, you are an archaeologist, and I 0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:03.600 encourage you to continue with your archaeology. Do you hear that, Sharon, 0:23:04.240 --> 0:23:09.520 I'm doing something with my life. He's doing something, Sharon, Professor, 0:23:09.680 --> 0:23:13.600 You're funny. You should response to those Instagram dms. Professor. Um, 0:23:13.640 --> 0:23:15.960 So just a question. Have you have you ever found, like, 0:23:16.119 --> 0:23:18.560 what's the close thing that you found in your findings 0:23:18.560 --> 0:23:23.800 and your diggings or whatever excavations? Oh? We have found many, 0:23:23.840 --> 0:23:25.800 many cool things. But I will tell you one thing 0:23:25.880 --> 0:23:29.920 that was unique to me. This was outside of Nashville, 0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:32.840 which is where I live, and we were working on 0:23:32.880 --> 0:23:36.639 a site and digging deeper, deeper, deeper, not not finding anything, 0:23:36.640 --> 0:23:38.359 but I just had this feeling that something was going 0:23:38.400 --> 0:23:43.399 to be there, and eventually I came upon a rudimentary tool, 0:23:43.520 --> 0:23:47.359 maybe from ten thousand years ago. Uh. And it would 0:23:47.359 --> 0:23:49.439 have been used maybe as an ax as something to 0:23:49.520 --> 0:23:51.679 club with, could have been a weapon, could have I 0:23:51.720 --> 0:23:57.679 loved clubbing, yo, Yes, I love clubbing. You do you 0:23:57.720 --> 0:24:01.120 go out? Yes? Absolutely. I took my wife to Olive 0:24:01.119 --> 0:24:03.720 Garden last night and we it was it's one of 0:24:03.720 --> 0:24:08.680 my favorite clubs. Olive Garden is not club. Well, we're 0:24:08.680 --> 0:24:12.239 part of the rewards program and um, okay, what's your 0:24:12.240 --> 0:24:15.560 favorite thing together Olive Garden. Well, this is such a 0:24:15.600 --> 0:24:18.199 wrote answer and my wife says, you gotta change. But 0:24:18.240 --> 0:24:21.199 it's the bread sticks, a warm bread stick. I mean, 0:24:21.200 --> 0:24:25.960 it's the cotton candy of carbohydrates. Okay, you asked me 0:24:26.000 --> 0:24:28.879 what my favorite thing Olive Garden is, and what is 0:24:28.920 --> 0:24:33.280 your favorite item at Olive Garden? Just like Sharon, it's 0:24:33.320 --> 0:24:35.880 the trip to Italy. Oh, tour of Italy. I love 0:24:35.920 --> 0:24:38.880 tour itally, Yes, of Italy. That's that's that's what it is. Yeah, 0:24:38.880 --> 0:24:41.199 that's part. Really it was like the lasagna and the 0:24:41.240 --> 0:24:44.560 parmesan and then the Alfredo and now they have themed 0:24:44.560 --> 0:24:46.879 one Yoko, if you haven't gone back, they have a 0:24:46.920 --> 0:24:51.400 full tour of Italy menu. What I mean, if you've 0:24:51.440 --> 0:24:53.720 got an any it's going to become an Audie because 0:24:53.760 --> 0:24:56.919 you can stuff yourself with a tour of several tours 0:24:56.920 --> 0:25:00.000 of Italy. Wow. Okay, So anyway, you're saying that you 0:25:00.080 --> 0:25:02.720 like clubbing, I like clubbing. So we're digging out. We 0:25:02.720 --> 0:25:08.800
