1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to Truth Hounds, a production of I Heart Radio. 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: I'm Anna and I've been unemployed for about a year now, 3 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: so I really have nothing going on. And I'm Kyle. 4 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: In middle school, I received the award most Enthusiastic to Learn, 5 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,479 Speaker 1: so that makes me pretty special. And that is what 6 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,080 Speaker 1: makes us the perfect investigative duo. We are two friends 7 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: who love each other very much, but what we love 8 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: even more is getting to the bottom of mysteries. All mysteries, sure, 9 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: but small mysteries specifically. Trust me, No mystery is too small. No, no, no, 10 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: Why don't you trust me when I tell you we 11 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: are ready to sniff around? We are the truth Hound. Hello, Hey, Kyle? Hi, yeah, Hi, 12 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: Hey it's Annah. Yeah. Hey. Um, are you busy right now? Yeah? Actually, 13 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 1: I'm about to give a toast to my brother's wedding. 14 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,479 Speaker 1: My back is turned, but I can feel very one 15 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,559 Speaker 1: staring at me, and I'm pretending to wipe a stain 16 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 1: off my dress. But I just don't think I can 17 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: get away with it for much longer. Get it out? Yeah, 18 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,839 Speaker 1: I mean mole obviously, but um, I actually I'm so sorry, 19 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: but we just we really do need to talk. Okay, 20 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: we'll be right there, Hi, my friend, Thank you so 21 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: much for meeting me here. Of course, it's very tranquil today. 22 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: It is tranquil. It's a beautiful word, actually, tranquil. Yeah, 23 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: and when I think of tranquil, I specifically actually think 24 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: of water. So it it's like the words perfect application 25 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: is to what we're looking at. But I have to say, 26 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: this investigation doesn't have me very tranquil. No, I actually 27 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: feel the opposite of that myself. I feel almost violent. 28 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: I mean, let's think about what we've already done rest 29 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: for this investigation, right. So this person Whitney, came to 30 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: us saying, I don't know what the subject is. Can 31 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: you help me determine its value and give me ideas 32 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: of what to do with it? So we put our 33 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: heads together. We reached out to art appraisers, a person 34 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: who works at a cool vintage store, a person with 35 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: good taste, and they told us that probably its value 36 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: is mostly determined by people who are fans of the 37 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: movie The Aviator. So we watched the movie and we 38 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: had maybe the worst night of our lives. I mean, 39 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: I'm still in a bad movie. I still can't watch movies. Yeah, 40 00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,679 Speaker 1: I'm done for movies. I think the thing it sucks 41 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: is I shouldn't I shouldn't say anything, but I actually know. Ah, 42 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: you know what. No, I'm sorry. I never no, I 43 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 1: actually I'm sorry. I can't. No, I can't, I can't. 44 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: Let's just let's just look at the water and wow, 45 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 1: what is this eagle? Yeah? It is? But I just 46 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: all right, Episode ten? What is art? Part two? So 47 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: we didn't have a plan. Honestly, I didn't even know 48 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: where to look. Well, actually I knew exactly where to look. 49 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: Something happened with this person I know, and it was 50 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: so embarrassing. I can't go there. No, I'm done. This 51 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: investigation was at a standstill. Did Anna just say to 52 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: you guys that she knew exactly what to do but 53 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 1: didn't want to talk about it. That's really frustrating. She 54 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: knows she can tell me anything. I mean, when it 55 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: comes to one another, we're basically open books. And you 56 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 1: guys listening in right now, well you're basically family at 57 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 1: this point. So over the next couple of weeks, I 58 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: would meet up and hang out with Anna, business as usual. 59 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: Then when she least expected it, I confront her, Hey, 60 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 1: I sorry, I'm l I where do you want to 61 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: go to to d eat um? I just I kind 62 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: of feel like, uh, I don't know. Maybe could you 63 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: can you tell me? I'm not going to tell you 64 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: get out of the car. Yeah, I don't know. I 65 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: feel like that's that haircut is not it's not too extreme. 66 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: But I'm like, I don't know. Can you just tell me? No, 67 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: I'm not going to tell you. Fine, let's go. So 68 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: are you ready going to do do? Gordona? M really tired? 69 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: But yeah, M could you tell me? Now? Hey, come on, 70 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm leaving where Gordona? I'm sorry, I'm not 71 00:05:53,200 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: going your m No dice h. She was really good 72 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: at keeping secrets, which was really bad for this investigation. 73 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: I had only one option. I had to start my 74 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: own little investigation within the investigation. So I came up 75 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: with a plan. I would figure out how to get 76 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: my friend to spill the beans and then watch the 77 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 1: beans spill, meaning get her to tell me the secret, 78 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: and hopefully it would be helpful to this investigation. I mean, 79 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: it's the season finale. My first and only stop consulting 80 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: my little book of Anna. That's right, folks, I have 81 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: a little book of Anna. You know, A kind of dossier. 82 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: It has the essentials, her emergency contact, an extra key 83 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: to our house, her measurements in case I'm out and 84 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: I find a top she likes, but I'm like, what sizes? 85 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: She again, the essentials, her handprint from when she was 86 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: a baby. But it also has a section where I 87 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: keep her greatest secrets. I took a look at those. Okay, 88 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: where is it, this little book of Anna? Okay, think 89 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: this is it? Yeah? There we are. Oh yeah, there 90 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: they were, the three secrets staring at me. I looked 91 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: at them, and, like a good investigator, I thought about 92 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: the details, mainly where we were when she told me 93 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: the secrets. The first secret as we rode a roller 94 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: coaster at the Santa Monica Pier. The second secret she 95 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: told me as we were ascending to the top of 96 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. And the third one 97 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: while we were on a long bus ride to see 98 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 1: the pyramids outside of Mexico City. One of the wonders 99 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: of the world, and by that, I mean it makes 100 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: you wonder, how did they do that. I thought about 101 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 1: these moments, specifically the locations and what we were doing. 102 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: A common denominator emerged. We seem to be doing something thrilling, 103 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: something that had us outside of ourselves. To put it bluntly, 104 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: these were memories that we would think upon on our 105 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: death beds and go whoa life. Put on quite a 106 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: show for Anna and I, and we were right there 107 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: calling Encore, Please Encore. If I gave Anna and I 108 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: a one of a kind experience that she would think 109 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: fondly about on her deathbed, then she would a hundred 110 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: percent spilled the beans and we would be back on 111 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: track with this investigation. Granted the beans are good, you 112 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: never know what Anna could be. Good beans could be 113 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 1: bad beans. I needed to give Anna a one of 114 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: a kind experience. I closed my eyes and pictured the 115 00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: words one of a kind experience. I was immediately transported 116 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: to a open road, driving fast convertible, top down, hair 117 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 1: blowing in the wind, fearless. So that's what I did. 118 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: I rented a Mustang convertible and told Anna to meet 119 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 1: me outside of her place from room over here. Why 120 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: what's this car? I just wanted to show you a 121 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: good time. I'm sorry you have to say that time. 122 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: I just wanted to show you a good time. To 123 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: look forward. Why I was going through like a you 124 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: know what Fellman and Looney thing, you know, tell me 125 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 1: and Loonie, you know those two gals. We'll come off 126 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: on in. Come take you, I mean just come in, 127 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: take a feel. It's a strong machine. Oh yeah, watch 128 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 1: the door because it's a rental. Here's your scarf um 129 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: could wear one too obvious scar. That's right. We were 130 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: in a Mustang convertible and I got Anna a scarf 131 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: roum rom ready to check this out. I was going 132 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: to take the top down of the Mustang convertible and 133 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: Anna would definitely tell me the secret. Um, okay, maybe 134 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: it needs to be on. Okay, Oh my god, Oh 135 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: my goyeah. I think that's just preparation. What okay, and 136 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 1: we're done? What do I mean done? Ah? I actually 137 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: feel like we just because I overwhelmed, are you okay? 138 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: I'm kind of nervous because because this car is so huge. 139 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: I mean I don't need to be this car is 140 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: really big. I think we should just maybe just stay 141 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,719 Speaker 1: stay here. You want to stay in the cars? I mean, 142 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: this is pretty crazy. Did you rent the car? Yeah, 143 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: you rented the car, but now you're too scared to 144 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: drive the car. Yeah. From from honestly driving a Mustang 145 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: convertible was really scary. I thought convertibles were supposed to 146 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: be small and sexy, but this thing felt like a tank. 147 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: It gave me such a fright. We were just sitting there. 148 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: This was not a of a kind experience. She probably 149 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,199 Speaker 1: wouldn't tell me anything. Can I just tell you the secret? 150 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: I don't like keeping secrets for me, so Kyle got 151 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: me to spill the beans. Let me give you guys 152 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: the background. I have this friend. He's a really nice guy. 153 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, guys, this guy it's awesome. Here is 154 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: where it gets hard. Recently, let me take a sip 155 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: of this wine. Okay, recently, I was flipping through Instagram 156 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: stories absent mindedly, and I came upon a story he 157 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: had posted, which was a picture of himself that his 158 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: partner had posted. Are you following? Here's the thing about 159 00:13:55,360 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: this picture. It was totally innocuous. It was just a 160 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: photo of him sitting at a desk. I just happened 161 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: to be moving into a new spot myself, and I 162 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 1: was having a hard time figuring out a spot for 163 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: a desk in my place. I was looking for inspiration, 164 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,959 Speaker 1: so I screen grabbed what he had posted and again, 165 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: the photo is innocuous, but the way that he is framed, 166 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: it's pretty intimate. There's nothing salacious there, but it was 167 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: clearly taken by someone who loves him. Okay, um, I 168 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: need a few more SIPs of wine. Hang on, yeah, okay. 169 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: So I screen grabbed this photo, and days go by. 170 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: I forget about the photo. I forget about the screen grab. 171 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: I take more photos, take more screen grabs, my photo role. 172 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: It's just it's moving on. So late one night, I'm 173 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: in bed scrolling. As I'm falling asleep, I wake up 174 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: with my phone. Honestly, it's just on top of my face. 175 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: I check my phone and I see something mortifying. It's 176 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: a message from the guy in response to the story 177 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: I had posted. And the message it says, you posted 178 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: a story about me. Immediately a panic kicks in. Oh 179 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: my god, I posted that screen grab of that photo 180 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: of him sitting at that desk, taken by his loved one, 181 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: and it had been sitting there long enough for the 182 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: guy to see it. And here's the thing about this guy. 183 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: He was undoubtedly the perfect person to interview for this investigation. 184 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,479 Speaker 1: He was a curator at one of the top museums 185 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: and he had impeccable taste. He was honestly the first 186 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: person who came to my mind when Whitney gave us 187 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: the call altogether, But because of what had happened, I mean, 188 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: you guys, see what I did, I can't reach out 189 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: to the sky. I posted a story of him sitting 190 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: at a desk on my Instagram that his lover took. Yes, 191 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: what you did was unimaginable, horrifying. I sit here full paralysis, 192 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: yet still disgusted enough to shake my damn head. If 193 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: I did that, I would go live in a closet. 194 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: But we have to talk to him Anna. He's a 195 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: curator at one of the top museums. There's just no 196 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: other way. Too much is writing on this. This is 197 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: our season finale. I know I already said that, but 198 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: this is our season finale. I know things are getting 199 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 1: really good, but we have to take a break for 200 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: some ads, and the ad break is over. I knew 201 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 1: this would be hard for Anna, so I set up 202 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 1: a training session with Chad. You remember Chad. He was 203 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: a trainer with the huge legs that helped us move 204 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: the dirt. His legs. Okay, Hi, I'm Chad. I'm a 205 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: personal trainer, and I'm also training to be a life coach. 206 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 1: I'm halfway through my certification with my life coach. Yeah him. 207 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: I had Chad meet us at the Truth Town Fitness 208 00:17:51,280 --> 00:18:04,400 Speaker 1: Center my garage. Oh my god, I see I see him? Yeah? Hi, Hi? 209 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: What you're walking really slow? Sorry? I was to be 210 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: honest that I was just kind of thinking about game planning. Okay. 211 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: I had previously explained to Chad that we needed his 212 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: help to train Anna to face her fears and to 213 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: make it right with her Instagram friend. Chad didn't waste 214 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: any time and immediately got into it. Okay, um, can 215 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 1: we do a quick experiment collea, okay, okay's Oh my god. 216 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 1: Chad first lunched at me Kyle, and without blinking an eye, 217 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: I got out of the way. Then he lunged at 218 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: Anna and she didn't get out of the way. Oh 219 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: my god, she was frozen. We moved on to a 220 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 1: different an exercise, a wall sit three two. It's not 221 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 1: too easy, guess what You're only thirty seconds in what? So? 222 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: I wonder if next time we two will look ready? 223 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: It was not easy. You gotta be in a full wall. 224 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 1: Can I do this? I mean it's a little boy 225 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: band cover all out. I didn't do that too. Okay, 226 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: we got twenty seconds left ya. Once our bodies went 227 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: through hell and back, Chad went back to lunging at Anna. 228 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 1: This time something was different. She was different and you moved. 229 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: Did you get that on tape? Wow, that was the 230 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: first time you move. Okay, that was amazing. I was 231 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: also three ft away and un fast as a panther, 232 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 1: like I'm all explosive energy. Yeah, you really are you? 233 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 1: You move? I did not. I did not hold back. Okay, 234 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:08,120 Speaker 1: that I feel good. Chad gave Anna a final pep talk. 235 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: I want you to think about this thing. I want 236 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: you to think about the person that you wish to 237 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: talk to about it. If they charge, what do you do. 238 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 1: I moved out of the way, but I don't anticipate 239 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 1: that they're going to charge. Yes, and I give them 240 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: the opportunity to not to pass, to pass, to give 241 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 1: them the opportunity to pass. But if they charge, guess what, 242 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: I don't even got the way. Wow, you're gonna let 243 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: this is This is one of the biggest days of 244 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 1: your life. So I just have to pace my fears left. 245 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 1: I was ready. Chad had taught me that I could 246 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: do anything, including confronting my worst fear contacting a guy 247 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 1: of whom I had posted an intimate photo to my 248 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: Instagram stories. And yeah, that's important. But also, let's revisit 249 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: the whole reason why we're here. The investigation was at 250 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: a standstill. Whitney had brought us an object and we 251 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,360 Speaker 1: were trying to figure out whether it was art and 252 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: what art even is, and this friend of Anna's seemed 253 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: to be the key to unlock all of this. He 254 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 1: was a curator at one of the top museums. So 255 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: Anna set up a time to talk to this guy. 256 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 1: I asked her if it would be easier if she 257 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: did this alone, but she insisted on having me right 258 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 1: there next to her. Before we could get into our 259 00:21:52,359 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: investigation questions, Anna had to make things right. Hi, Hey guys, 260 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: how are you doing. I'm good. I don't know if 261 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,880 Speaker 1: you've ever met the thing we've ever met I used 262 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: to meet you. Here came the big moment. I just 263 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: I had to do it. Hey, you got this, Remember 264 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: what Chad said before we ask you for your official 265 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: opinion on something. Also, just kind of wanted to take 266 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:33,360 Speaker 1: a moment to make things right. To make things right's 267 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: right with you because of what happened, And I'm very 268 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 1: sorry about the photo. Oh that's totally fine, I thought. 269 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: I hope you didn't think I was really like weirded 270 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: out by that. I mean I might be, you know, 271 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,239 Speaker 1: And I kind of assumed that's exactly what it was, 272 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: which was you were saying like, oh, look, this is 273 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: a something in a whom like as I would do. 274 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: And I was often not like, look at this fucking 275 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: hell hole this person lives. I thought, because the photos 276 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: photos really kind of it's clearly taken by someone loves 277 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: you and so a very delicate lover at a table, 278 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 1: and so I thought that it just seems like I 279 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 1: delicately love you. Yeah, and then you accidentally posted I 280 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: don't know what happened, and it posted to my story, 281 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: which is one of the most fortifying things I think anyone. 282 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: Totally fun. I assumed nothing to ferry us. That's amazing. 283 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 1: I mean, no, no worries about it, okay, but I 284 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 1: just wanted to make things right. Yeah. No, I'm happy. 285 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: I'm happy. I'm happy that was that there was nothing 286 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: to make right. It was all good. You just need yeah, 287 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: they just need to be smoothing over what we talked 288 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: about anything before we talking about other things. Absolutely fine, 289 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: all right, can I just have a moment here because 290 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: that was really hard to do, but I did it. 291 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: I kicked ass, and we could finally move forward in 292 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: our investigation. We began our interview. My name is and 293 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 1: I'm a curator. Now that the hard stuff was out 294 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,719 Speaker 1: of the way, the next part would be super easy. 295 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: So we actually were wondering if, um, you could just 296 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: tell us what art is? Mm hmm. He thought about 297 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:55,479 Speaker 1: it for a while. Damn, that's a big question. Huh. 298 00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 1: I guess it was a really big question, but eventually 299 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: came through. I think art is anything you put into 300 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 1: a gallery or museum setting and and today is art 301 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: and that's it. Whoa. That was amazing. It was all 302 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 1: we needed to hear. We set our goodbyes to thank 303 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 1: you so much. This is really helpful for us, and 304 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 1: you know, I am glad that we were able to 305 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: make anything. I'm happy we could solve that as well. 306 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,919 Speaker 1: Told us exactly what we needed to hear. If you 307 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: put something in a gallery or museum setting and say 308 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: it's art, it's art. So that's what we needed to do. 309 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 1: With Whitney's object, build an art show around it and 310 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 1: say it's art. Look, that doesn't necessarily answer her question 311 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: of what she should do with it, but it would 312 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 1: now have so much more meaning. And then maybe the 313 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 1: gift we would really be giving to Whitney is the 314 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:23,479 Speaker 1: gift of peace and clarity. The next step was simple. 315 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: We would just plan an art show. First, we got 316 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: an art space. Okay, let's be honest. It was actually 317 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: the offices of I Heart Radio, but the building had 318 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 1: an industrial flare to it. No, no, no, no, cut 319 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 1: the tape. Do we have something that's a little more 320 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 1: like fitting, like a chain being dropped in a pool, 321 00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 1: a man slapping a fish as percussion in industrial? Yeah, 322 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: that's the stuff. Anyway, back to the building, tall cavernous ceilings, 323 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: cement walls and floors, an elevator with a ceiling made 324 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 1: of abstract metal art pieces. It just screamed art in 325 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 1: l ah. Next, we needed wine. Just two bottles, one white, 326 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 1: one red. What's the big deal? The next part was 327 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: a little tricky. We couldn't just have an art show 328 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 1: with one object, even if it was two or three 329 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,919 Speaker 1: or fifteen parts or whatever. When you had said in 330 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 1: the beginning. There had to be other stuff to you 331 00:27:53,800 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: as well. Then I had an idea. Annah's always talking 332 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:07,199 Speaker 1: a big game about my call to action posts. She 333 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 1: always says that they are art and I've never commented 334 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: publicly on this because I'm super humble, but it actually 335 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: meant a lot. With Anna's encouragement, I decided to include 336 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:25,120 Speaker 1: some of my call to actions in the art show. Additionally, 337 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: I had a couple other surprises at my sleeve. Now 338 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,400 Speaker 1: we had the space, the two bottles of wine, the art. 339 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: To me, Anna art, it's actually nothing without music. I'm sorry, 340 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: but I'm just a huge music lover, always have been, 341 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: always will be. Without saying too much, well, it's in 342 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: my DNA and I actually had a couple of ideas 343 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: of what we could do. First and foremost most, Kyle 344 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: and I had accidentally devised a musical masterpiece earlier this season. 345 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: I would describe the genre as noise. Take a listen. 346 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: That's noise, all right? This would be the perfect background 347 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: noise to loop under the art show. But wait, there's 348 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: something else too. My friend Witt had also written an 349 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: awesome song for us. Remember contemplating suicide. Take a listen 350 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: Suicide that's it all right. Wit had even made us 351 00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: a techno version of the song for when we re 352 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: aided visiting the Yogurt Chop. Take a listen, Yeah, that's 353 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: it all right. Like I said, I am a huge 354 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: music lover. Hearing those three songs back to back just now, 355 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: I'm basically in heaven. So we had our music. We 356 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 1: would invite my friend Wit to play live and we 357 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: would loop our original noise composition on a laptop in 358 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: the space. I myself am not a huge music lover. 359 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: I don't like anything in my ears. But wait a minute, 360 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Anna. We can't just have a laptop just 361 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: sitting there playing a song. What if someone steals the laptop. 362 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: I'm going to be very honest with you guys. That 363 00:30:56,120 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: would suck. So we decided we would have to hire 364 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 1: someone to stand beside the laptop just to keep an 365 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: eye on it. Okay, Kyle, you literally don't know how 366 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: to throw a party. You put a security guard in there, 367 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: it's gonna throw off the whole vibe. My biggest fear 368 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,719 Speaker 1: is that a bunch of people come in and are like, 369 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: this place is dead. Let's bound. I don't care. I 370 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: don't want my laptop to be stolen. That's where I 371 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: watched the amazing race. Can I offer a suggestion? What 372 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 1: if this person is not a DJ but Leonardo DiCaprio. 373 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: I bet all those cool people you were worried about 374 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 1: would be like, WHOA a party with Leonardo DiCaprio. I'm 375 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: at least going to stay for a few minutes for sure, Kyle? 376 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 1: Are you baked out of your gourd? You think that 377 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 1: we can get Leonardo DiCaprio to a come to our 378 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: art show at all and then be forgo having the 379 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: time of his life to clock in and work a 380 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 1: ship as a DJ. But really he's just guarding the laptop. No, 381 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: it's not happening. We can't get Leonardo DiCaprio. I'm sorry, 382 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 1: I just I don't think we're there. I mean yet, 383 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 1: I do really think he'd like the show, And I'm 384 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: not going to disagree with you and that one. Okay, 385 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 1: what if we hired a Leonardo DiCaprio impersonator to guard 386 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 1: the laptop and pretend to DJ. But why Leonardo DiCaprio, 387 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: Why are you suddenly obsessed with Leonardo DiCaprio? Why are 388 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 1: you on his jock? Anna? Because of the movie The Aviator. 389 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: I'm not on his chalk. I don't even know where 390 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: he is right now, so how could I even be 391 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: on his jock? Yeah? Anna finally agreed, and all right, 392 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: let's speed things up. We looked all over the place 393 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 1: and we did finally find an official Leo DiCaprio I personator, 394 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: but his hiring fee per hour was eight hundred dollars, 395 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: plus we had to pay his agent. I mean, I 396 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 1: love this crazy town, but who really has that kind 397 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 1: of money? I mean, we sure don't. We had gotten 398 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 1: the quote from the impersonators agent, and after that we 399 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: thanked her profusely, but said to her, is there any 400 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: way you could make fifty bucks work? I mean, we 401 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: don't need him to do much. Just stand there. She 402 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 1: got back to us promptly, I suggest you purchase a 403 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 1: cardboard cutout. She also added she hadn't actually seen one 404 00:33:56,080 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: of Leo and wished us luck. So we had to 405 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: broaden our search. We put up a kind of unofficial 406 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 1: call to action, and by that, I mean I just 407 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: asked my friends on Instagram, Hey, do you know anyone 408 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 1: who kind of looks like Leo? Before we knew it, 409 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 1: we found a guy who at once dressed up as 410 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 1: Leo for Halloween. Specifically, he dressed up as a paparazzi 411 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: photo of Leo wherein he was just kind of inhaling 412 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:43,360 Speaker 1: from an industrial sized vaporiser. Everything was in place, and 413 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 1: now an ad break. The ad break is over. Now 414 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 1: it was time for the art show. No, Kyle, we 415 00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,959 Speaker 1: have to tell the listeners who was on the guest list? 416 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 1: Do we have to? We've been writing v O for 417 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: like three hours and my butt herds from all the sitting. Yeah, 418 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: we do have to, because it's the finale, all right, 419 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: all right. We put up a call to action. My 420 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 1: art was good. It was a picture of Leo from 421 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 1: the Aviator was really stretched out. The post said do 422 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,319 Speaker 1: you like the Aviator? Do you want to come to 423 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:34,760 Speaker 1: a party? Kyle? Remember we expanded it just in case 424 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:39,360 Speaker 1: we didn't find anyone who likes the Aviator. Yeah. We 425 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 1: also said if you like Martin scorsesey you can come, 426 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:47,320 Speaker 1: and if you like film, and if you like regular movies, 427 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:51,840 Speaker 1: and if you were free and just wanted it to come, Bingo. 428 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:58,800 Speaker 1: So back to it. The art show was finally here. 429 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 1: All the arts were in place and people started to 430 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:06,319 Speaker 1: show up. We were nearing the end of Whitney's investigation. 431 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 1: Our hope was that by putting on this art show 432 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 1: dedicated to the object, we would show Whitney that it 433 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:19,479 Speaker 1: was valuable. Honestly, it was annoying how much went into 434 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,839 Speaker 1: the making of this show that by the time we 435 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 1: were letting people inside, I flew off the handle. I 436 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 1: completely lost my cool. If we could just stop, minimize 437 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 1: the talk, thank you, I just take it mind. I 438 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 1: just feel like there's a conversation over there. I just 439 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 1: I mean, what didn't you hello? I'm sorry I didn't 440 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 1: should my co host is losing her cool, but Anna 441 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,360 Speaker 1: rained it in. Thank you so much for coming to 442 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 1: the art show. We're sorry we made you wait in 443 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 1: the holding area. But the thing about art is that 444 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:07,240 Speaker 1: it does take time. I mean sometimes it's never even finished. 445 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 1: And that's a really good point, and so we can 446 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 1: never let you in. But we are so um. Having 447 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,319 Speaker 1: said that, please come upstairs and thank you so much 448 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:17,799 Speaker 1: for being a part of the art. Now feel free 449 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 1: to clap. Thank you, And so the evening had begun. 450 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 1: The Leo Um kind of impersonator took his place by 451 00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:42,400 Speaker 1: the laptop, and people began to mill about should we 452 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,920 Speaker 1: stand right here? I guess, okay, just we'll give them space, 453 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:50,240 Speaker 1: so they guess recruit to take space. To take space, 454 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,919 Speaker 1: Kyle instructed our Leo guy to play our noise song 455 00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:01,680 Speaker 1: on the laptop. Again, he wasn't a DJ, but he 456 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,439 Speaker 1: was standing right there. I mean he might as well. 457 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,920 Speaker 1: Does it cost you anything to hit the space bar music? 458 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:21,839 Speaker 1: I'm me care So that's actually my screen love. That's 459 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:26,719 Speaker 1: going really well. I think this is going. Yeah. A 460 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:31,439 Speaker 1: lot of people showed up, people you might recognize. There 461 00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:35,919 Speaker 1: was Megan, the mean friend who maybe wasn't actually that mean. 462 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 1: How are you feeling about you feel the mean nowadays? No, 463 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:47,719 Speaker 1: I'm feeling pretty good. Actually, yeah, yeah, it's not really 464 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 1: any thank you. Well it's Captain, it's Captain seasons. But yeah, 465 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:53,759 Speaker 1: I mean I'm not really I'm not. I'm still not 466 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 1: really doing much, so there's not really much to get 467 00:38:55,680 --> 00:39:04,320 Speaker 1: mad at. Thanks, thank you. Wow amazing. She was literally 468 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:08,239 Speaker 1: glowing and honestly it made me want to go out 469 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 1: and buy a calf tan. Anyways, so Megan was there. Also, 470 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 1: our third friend Rod was there. We haven't seen you 471 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,160 Speaker 1: since your big day. Yeah, it's been a while, so 472 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,839 Speaker 1: he's still feeling good after it. Yeah, I'm feeling I'm 473 00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 1: feeling pretty good. Uh. It really did feel good to 474 00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:36,399 Speaker 1: get back to him. He really needed it, you could tell. 475 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,879 Speaker 1: So lots of people were milling about, chatting, drinking from 476 00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:46,480 Speaker 1: those two bottles of wine. The event was an absolute success. 477 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 1: But let's not forget who the real star of the 478 00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:53,400 Speaker 1: show was. The art. What do you think about? This piece? 479 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,959 Speaker 1: Is art? And I think I can see that theme 480 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:02,799 Speaker 1: of like his already see this like growing distancing from 481 00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 1: the world and society, and I can see that really 482 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 1: present in the piece, that kind of a lot of 483 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,360 Speaker 1: empty space, and then like the chairs there as his 484 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,319 Speaker 1: comfort as a zone of comfort, like the screening room 485 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 1: and like seeing the daily Huh. I didn't get that 486 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:30,040 Speaker 1: at all. But that's awesome. This is beautiful. Wow, we 487 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 1: had gathered together a really exceptional crowd. Okay, so this 488 00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:38,839 Speaker 1: is actually um. We talked to an art appraiser and 489 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,000 Speaker 1: I was just showing her slides and she said my 490 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,640 Speaker 1: photos were so good that it was our that's right. 491 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,080 Speaker 1: Remember when I said I had a couple of surprises 492 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:52,239 Speaker 1: at my sleeve. Well, here's the first one. Because I 493 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 1: had gotten such great feedback from the art appraisers about 494 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:59,880 Speaker 1: my photographs of the model, I decided, what the heck 495 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,440 Speaker 1: it should be part of the show. And you know what, 496 00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:08,239 Speaker 1: it was the talk of the town. People thought it 497 00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:11,640 Speaker 1: was a part of Whitney's Peace. They improved each other. 498 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:13,960 Speaker 1: I say, would you say these two are kind of 499 00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:18,359 Speaker 1: twin claims? Are pieces? I think so, and I think that, 500 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,520 Speaker 1: and like it goes in the other direction to I 501 00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:25,920 Speaker 1: think the other one, like the other animals. The other surprise, 502 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,800 Speaker 1: by the way, was that I had also printed out 503 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:33,880 Speaker 1: a poster of our Truthhound tipline phone number. The poster 504 00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,319 Speaker 1: was really just the phone number and a dog dress 505 00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:40,040 Speaker 1: like a detective next to it, but my thought was 506 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:45,120 Speaker 1: maybe someone would call some of the best art is interactive. 507 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:50,920 Speaker 1: The whole show was going really, really well, and now 508 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:55,560 Speaker 1: it was time for the performance art. My friend wits 509 00:41:55,600 --> 00:42:01,920 Speaker 1: performance of his hit song Contemplating Suicide. Given the seriousness 510 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,759 Speaker 1: of the mood, we thought it would be appropriate if 511 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:08,200 Speaker 1: he did a more stripped down, deconstructed version of the song. 512 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:13,600 Speaker 1: We wanted it to feel like emptvs. Unplugged, so we 513 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,440 Speaker 1: set him up on a stool at about thirty candles 514 00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:20,160 Speaker 1: and had everyone sit on the ground, cross legged, looking 515 00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:26,920 Speaker 1: up at him. This is a sign. The first episode 516 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,839 Speaker 1: of Truth Towns um I wrote it, and we can 517 00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,840 Speaker 1: also listen to you here a remix of this same 518 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:44,960 Speaker 1: song in the third episode of Truth Downs. Should you 519 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,960 Speaker 1: want me to say that this prob Yeah? Yes, yeah. 520 00:42:48,080 --> 00:43:00,600 Speaker 1: The song is called contemplating suicide. Okay, content warning. We 521 00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:04,640 Speaker 1: caught a mean case of the sillies. Forgive us. We 522 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,880 Speaker 1: were so overwhelmed by the success of the night we 523 00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:17,200 Speaker 1: couldn't help but laugh. Called someplating suicide my whole life. 524 00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:24,120 Speaker 1: I want to die contemplating suicide. I want to die 525 00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:32,000 Speaker 1: my whole contemplating suicide. I want to die my whole 526 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:40,680 Speaker 1: contemplating suicide. I wanted to do something cute. Now, mhm, 527 00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:54,239 Speaker 1: what's contemplating? Want to die the whole contemplating suicide. I 528 00:43:54,320 --> 00:44:20,640 Speaker 1: want to do something contemplating tu from song Song, Song, Song, Song. 529 00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,400 Speaker 1: I know. We keep saying the night was a success, 530 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,920 Speaker 1: but before we could officially declare it as such, we 531 00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:46,400 Speaker 1: had to check in with one last attendee, arguably the 532 00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:50,640 Speaker 1: most important one. Whitney and I actually talked to like 533 00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,799 Speaker 1: a few people that gave me new perspectives on like 534 00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,719 Speaker 1: having a piece like this, like how important it is. 535 00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,480 Speaker 1: I do like the idea of setting up something was 536 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,799 Speaker 1: like your piece that you made tile like next to 537 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:09,399 Speaker 1: it and having a little kind of like explanations. Yeah yeah, 538 00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:15,280 Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm so grateful. Whoa. We really helped her out, 539 00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,399 Speaker 1: And before saying goodbye to her, I made one last 540 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:23,120 Speaker 1: effort to pitch myself to her, because you know, this 541 00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:27,040 Speaker 1: is Hollywood, you have to advocate for yourself. Well, I'd 542 00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,400 Speaker 1: love to work with you in the future on some 543 00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:35,320 Speaker 1: kind of artistic project. What you guys? Yea. After a 544 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:39,000 Speaker 1: little bit of networking, sorry, you just have to do it, 545 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,560 Speaker 1: I noticed that we actually had a new tip on 546 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:45,680 Speaker 1: the tip line. I took a listen, Hi, my name 547 00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:50,040 Speaker 1: is Chris, and I'm calling him from the art and 548 00:45:50,120 --> 00:46:02,120 Speaker 1: it does this is art. Remember how I told you 549 00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:03,960 Speaker 1: that I had hung up that poster of the tip 550 00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:06,200 Speaker 1: line phone number next to a dog dressed like a 551 00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:12,719 Speaker 1: detective in the art show. Huh someone used the tip 552 00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:17,439 Speaker 1: line and that someone was Chris from our late People 553 00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:22,359 Speaker 1: focus group. He was at the art show. I don't 554 00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:27,919 Speaker 1: remember inviting him. M hmm, what was he doing here? 555 00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:33,880 Speaker 1: And wait a minute, Anna had been consistently five to 556 00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:38,799 Speaker 1: ten minutes late over the past couple of months. Did 557 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:42,560 Speaker 1: that have something to do with it? Before I could 558 00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:46,160 Speaker 1: really grapple with these mysterious thoughts, Anna pulled me aside 559 00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:50,920 Speaker 1: with urgency. She was getting a weird phone call. Weird 560 00:46:52,000 --> 00:47:02,879 Speaker 1: two calls one night? Huh this? Wait? Who is this? 561 00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:05,520 Speaker 1: I've got a tip for you, the tip that only 562 00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,760 Speaker 1: the truth towns can get to. This is the crime 563 00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:13,319 Speaker 1: of the century. It's a real life murder. Who whoa? Whoa. 564 00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:19,399 Speaker 1: We had started the show to investigate mysteries like why 565 00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:24,520 Speaker 1: are puppies so fat? Or why is it so funny 566 00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:28,840 Speaker 1: when someone falls down just a couple of stairs, I 567 00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:34,200 Speaker 1: don't know, questions like that, and now someone was calling 568 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:41,959 Speaker 1: us to investigate a real murder. We had come so far, 569 00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:46,360 Speaker 1: and in a second it seemed like everything was about 570 00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:52,960 Speaker 1: to change. Yeah, that's right. We had spent this entire 571 00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:57,520 Speaker 1: season grappling with these kinds of questions. Why are some 572 00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:02,520 Speaker 1: people always late? Why? Why are people mean? Does distance 573 00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:06,080 Speaker 1: really make the heart grow fonder? Why does time fly 574 00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:09,960 Speaker 1: by when you're having so much fun? Why does giving 575 00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:16,400 Speaker 1: back feel so good? And finally, what we just answered? 576 00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:23,000 Speaker 1: What is art? And now this guy was asking us 577 00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:27,440 Speaker 1: to get involved with a real murder. And let's not 578 00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:33,480 Speaker 1: forget about the Chris thing. What was that? If I 579 00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:37,839 Speaker 1: were to pursue this murder case, who would I even 580 00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:43,200 Speaker 1: be investigating with? I felt like I didn't even know 581 00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:51,239 Speaker 1: Anna anymore. In a second, it seemed like everything was 582 00:48:51,280 --> 00:49:04,960 Speaker 1: about to change. What do you say Ye? To be 583 00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:19,919 Speaker 1: continued season. If you like this podcast, please subscribe, rate, 584 00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:23,680 Speaker 1: and review.
