Speaker 2: margarita's to parents on Halloween while we hand out candy

26
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: to the children. But Memory is sadly out of town

27
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 2: this Halloween, so I was wondering would it be helpful

28
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,920

Speaker 4: Thank you so much for having me, and I'm glad

58
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 4: to get things off to a weird start with conspiracies.

59
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: Oh are you kidding me? That's that's right up our alley.

60
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: We're down.

61
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I am very excited.

62
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 4: And also I have to thank you both for this podcast,

63
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 4: which helped me survive a truly hellish move last year,

64
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 4: and the theme song was such a perfect soundtrack as

65
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 4: I was cleaning up behind myself and making trip after

66
00:03:54,760 --> 00:04:00,119
Speaker 4: trip because it really was bananas and uh so thanks

67
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 4: and where.

68
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: You were so well?

69
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: Where are you moving from too?

70
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 4: Just across town in Atlanta. Oh nice, going from the

71
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 4: west side to the east side. I don't know what

72
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 4: that means, but it happened.

73
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 2: I love Atlanta. I lived in Atlanta for fourteen months

74
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 2: and I had a wonderful fourteen months there.

75
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: I like it. Never say it was a year, Scottie,

76
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: never say it was a year.

77
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 2: Well, I feel like a year. Fourteen months does sound

78
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: like there's more of a story involved.

79
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 4: It's like, what's happening, like a toddler age.

80
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 2: A year's like, yeah, I did a semes domestic exchange

81
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: at Georgia Tech. But fourteen months they were like, so

82
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 2: it's going great for a year, and then those last

83
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 2: two went sideways.

84
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: Tell us about this new the new season of Unladylike

85
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: that just started a couple months ago.

86
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 4: Yes, so Unladylike is I describe it as a feminist

87
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 4: lifestyle podcast about the life stuff we don't talk about

88
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 4: enough or don't know to talk about. And I had

89
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 4: been on a hiatus over the spring and summer, and

90
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 4: it was just kind of observing, you know, everything, everything

91
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 4: swirling around us all and you know, for better or worse.

92
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 5: I fell down a conspiracy theory rabbit hole.

93
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 4: Not in the believer kind of way, right, and specifically

94
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 4: how do women like what role have women played in

95
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 4: US conspiracy culture?

96
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 5: And talk about bananas?

97
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 4: I definitely didn't plan that. I was stunned to find

98
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 4: that the main architects of our like conspiracy theories, like

99
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 4: qu noon style conspiracy theories that we're seeing still uh

100
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 4: fomenting today, we're partly popularized by women.

101
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: Wow. That is fascinating.

102
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 4: I know. I was like, this is this is the

103
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 4: kind of like uncovering women's history of Like, hey, it's

104
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 4: not exactly celebratory, but I'm glad I found you and

105
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 4: your very troubling ideas.

106
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 2: Yes.

107
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, also like it's just something I've never heard covered

108
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: before as well. And in this day and age where

109
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: it feels like every kind of angle on conspiracy has

110
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: been investigated, this has not been. And that's very cool.

111
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 5: Yes, thank you, Yeah.

112
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: Very cool. I love it. I'm into it. I once

113
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: read and did you find this? I once read that

114
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 2: one of the reasons that Homo sapiens survive and became

115
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 2: sort of the dominant primate is because of gossip, because

116
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: they were the they were the primate, like you know, Neanderthals

117
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 2: were out there and other sort of early early species,

118
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 2: and it was that Homo sapiens would gossip, and gossip

119
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: can protect you. Like if you're like that guy over

120
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: there's acting kind of weird, Cliff's been kind of shady

121
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 2: over there lately. It might be that he's crazy and

122
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: that he's going to try to kill us in the night.

123
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: And I've read that a click for me and then

124
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 2: ever since, everything about conspiracies or culture, true crime or

125
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 2: whatever that feels kind of gossip. Ye in a way,

126
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, maybe it's built in.

127
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, like a survival mechanism. Yeah, there's that book Sapiens

128
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: that's all about that. Like, you know, our ability to

129
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: tell story is what actually has made us successful as

130
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: a species. And that's essentially what it is, right, We're

131
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: just we're telling stories, but without all the facts. That's

132
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: what conspiracy theories are. We're telling us we're just trying

133
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: to guess at the the ideas of things.

134
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, it makes a lot of sense in a weird

135
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 4: way like with everything that's going on in terms of

136
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 4: pandemic and uncertainty all around, that it's very attractive to

137
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 4: a lot of people to get a very simple, very

138
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 4: wrong yes and very dangerous like explanation for all of

139
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 4: these things.

140
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: Yes, that it's that desire to have an have an evil,

141
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: to have an evil. It makes things much simpler and

142
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: easier to understand, other than the terrible raw truth of

143
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: the of the complicated, gray randomness of our existence, which

144
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: is very frustrating and not satisfying to our idea of

145
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: a story.

146
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 2: Right.

147
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's interesting that we're more drawn to finding that

148
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 4: evil the good evil binary than maybe taking a beat

149
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 4: in I don't know, less horrifying uh gray area nuance.

150
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 4: I don't know.

151
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 2: I have a new conspiracy theory that the guys who

152
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 2: used to dress up like the dude from The Big

153
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 2: Lebowski are now the guys that dress up like Ted Lasso,

154
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 2: And I don't know if it's good or bad. I

155
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 2: just think it's the same exact kind of guy. The

156
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 2: guy that like the dad for Halloween that was the

157
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:23,239
Speaker 2: Dude is now Ted Lasso, And maybe this is positive.

158
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe'nightmare.

159
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: I can't. I don't understand the theory. But also I

160
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: would be interested to know if any, if any, if

161
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: any listeners out there have a brown animal that has

162
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: done both. We need to know.

163
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 5: Is it facial hair based?

164
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: You know to go to?

165
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: Yeah?

166
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: Are you guys ready for this story? Are you ready

167
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 1: for Broadworstgate?

168
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 2: Here?

169
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: It is?

170
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,719
Speaker 2: I hope so, I hear.

171
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: I hope so too. This is and I need to

172
00:09:54,920 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: send a big apology to everyone. My moments before we record,

173
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: for some reason, my safari refreshed everything and all of

174
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: my notes about who sent these stories in got deleted. Okay,

175
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: and so I apologize if you sent this in. I

176
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: know only one person sent this in. But this is

177
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: This was originally from Canton. The It's called the repository

178
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: cantonrep dot com. I'm assuming it's Canton, Ohio. Okay, it was.

179
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: It was written by Cherita M. Goshe. Thank you so much, Tree,

180
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 1: you are the best in the biz. And the title

181
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: again headline Broadworst Gate is the scandal we didn't know

182
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 1: we needed. Here it is in buss I'm saying it's

183
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: Busras it might be Boucherus, Ohio. The most pressing issue

184
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 1: of the moment is not the upcoming election Ukraine or

185
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: gas prices. It is the dethroning of Abigail Abby Brockwell,

186
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty one bruceras Broatworst Festival Queen. According to

187
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: a by the Bussaris Telegraph Forum, Brockwell was removed as

188
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: queen by the Bussars brought Worth Festival Board of directors

189
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: earlier this month. The mid claims that she violated rules

190
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: on travel and representation.

191
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 2: You're kidding, I can't you can't wait.

192
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: She's accused of attending a private queen's luncheon hosted by

193
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: another festival in violation of Boussis brought Worst Festival policy,

194
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: not being photographed holding a cell phone what, and for

195
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: not wearing her quote drindle, a traditional German alpine dress,

196
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: which is a crucial element for all public appearances by

197
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: the queen. M Brockwell's mother confirmed that they did attend

198
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: the luncheon, but as a private guest of the Baltimore

199
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: Festival pageant queen who's a personal friend of her daughter.

200
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 2: That's right, huh.

201
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 1: The festival queen definitely is in high school.

202
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, I'm weird about it.

203
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: The board contends the Brockwell's shouldn't have attended at all

204
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 1: because it had already sent a girl representative from Bussaras.

205
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: Now lawyers have climbed into the lawyers have climbed into

206
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: the ring. Wow, what's next? Finding out that Big Butter

207
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: Jesus was in fact made of I can't believe it's

208
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: not butter. Interesting refere good writing, topical. I don't know

209
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: who Big Butter Jesus is, but definitely it would be surprising.

210
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 2: Also, Christen, this cat that is walking in front of

211
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 2: me is not my cat. Yeah, I do not own

212
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: this cat. This is a neighborhood cat named Punk, who is,

213
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 2: for the first time ever walking just a.

214
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: Tale, just a butthole and a tail in the camera.

215
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 2: What do you would punk?

216
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: Punk just comes by when Scotty starts recording. But this

217
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: is the are we getting some perrng?

218
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 2: Now?

219
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: This is the first time we've ever gotten Punk on camera.

220
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: That's amazing.

221
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 2: Okay, Punk, please leave me alone.

222
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: To outsiders, it may seem like much ado about nothing.

223
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,239
Speaker 1: To the parties involved, it's serious business. The Bessaras Brockwers

224
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: Festival pays homage to the community's identity history culture and tradition.

225
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 1: In places where time has stood still, where cynicism has

226
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: not yet made many inroads, such a thing still matters.

227
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 2: Wait.

228
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: Wow, time has stood still in this town. It sounds

229
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: like generations of young girls in small towns all over

230
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: America have grown up aspiring to wear a festival crown.

231
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: As long as the festival queen lives, she'll always be

232
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: a celebrity of sorts in her hometown unless her crown

233
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: is stripped. Who would want to live with that?

234
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 3: Uh?

235
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: Then we go into something else. This is all about

236
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: Vanessa Williams for some reason.

237
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 5: Because she was stripped of her Miss America.

238
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: Oh that's why. So we're going We're going large until

239
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: we get down to the I just want to find

240
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: out exactly what happened. Okay, well, listen, I read another article.

241
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: This is not the only article.

242
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 2: See. This is your conspiracy theory hole. You're just like Kristin.

243
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 2: You're chasing Wiener and sausage conspiracies all the way to

244
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 2: the top or bottom.

245
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: This fifteen year old girl just went to another dinner

246
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: to like hang out with her friend, and then she

247
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: got stripped for it. I mean, it's crazy, it's insane

248
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: that is insane.

249
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 5: Was it a hot dog dinner?

250
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 2: Thank you? It was?

251
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: It was a Baltimore Broughtwars festival. I think so they

252
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: were like maybe they think of it as competition. I mean,

253
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: Baltimore and Ohio aren't even near each other.

254
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm worried about Boussarras. Things are not right in Bousra.

255
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: I know it might be Buchares too, So we will

256
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: never know either. We're not gonna find out.

257
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 2: This poor kid, this was like a big deal. I

258
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 2: bet they did a photo shoot. I bet like her

259
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 2: her weird uncles were very proud because it was like

260
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 2: your aunt was that too, forty years ago. It's probably

261
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 2: a big deal.

262
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: It's definitely a big deal for her and what somebody's

263
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: got it in for her. This is why it's perfect

264
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: for the idea of conspiracy. There's a conspiracy here right, yes.

265
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 5: Like it's just an inside job.

266
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: It's an inside job. It seems like a minor, a

267
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: minor offence to go to a Baltimore festival not wear

268
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: you and also holding a cell phone. She's never to

269
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: be seen holding a cell phone. That's also strange as well. Anyway,

270
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: the Bradworths Festival has some explaining to do you know.

271
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 2: I agree, it's a strange that is really a weird

272
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 2: one because it seems like it should be the most lighthearted,

273
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 2: lovely experience. It's the one thing the town looks forward

274
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 2: to every year. In my hometown we had the Reisters

275
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 2: Sound Festival. They'd get a band from the sixties or

276
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 2: seventies who clearly just needed a paycheck. I remember the

277
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 2: guess who came once, and you know, it was a

278
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 2: great time where children and men on Harley Davidson's hung

279
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 2: out and watched music that neither one of them fully enjoyed.

280
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 2: And the big thing was buying fart spray or snap pops,

281
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 2: those things you throw up people's feet. And it was

282
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 2: a great seventy two hours central life.

283
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: Also, it's not like this girl's making much money. It's

284
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: not like money involved in this. Just let her be

285
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: the queen.

286
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 5: Guys, do we know if the queen has made a statement.

287
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: The queen has not made a statement. I wish honestly,

288
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: at this point, I wish i'd gotten The board contends

289
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: the Brockwells shouldn't have attended at all. Uh, that's who

290
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: gives a shit. Yeah, here, it is like all lookie

291
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: loose stories, looky here, stories that happened elsewhere. The festival

292
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: Queen's Nephu and Busseras has been a come, a discraction

293
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: for US outsiders, a respite from the constant conflict over abortion,

294
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: classified documents, inflation and what's happening. Man, you're really trying

295
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: to tie this into some greater thing. We just want

296
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: the details about the festival, about the Broadworst Queen. Uh

297
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: if you were to me. Yeah, anyway, a lot of

298
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: people read this article is essentially what it says. It's insane. Anyway,

299
00:16:58,560 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: last time I had.

300
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,119
Speaker 2: Brought Worst Okay, I love this transition.

301
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 1: Yes, this was. I did it in an instant pot.

302
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: I was like making a little like stew. Do you

303
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: guys fuck with the instant pot? Oh yeah, oh hell yeah.

304
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: Used to be called a pressure cooker. Uh uh too stressful.

305
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: Instant pot much better day. So I made something I

306
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 1: was for my whole family. And I realized after I'd

307
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: made it that like all I had was like this soup,

308
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: this like stew soup, and like Grandma was there and

309
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: my wife and my daughter, and I was like I

310
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: need bread, I need like nice bread to go with this.

311
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: So I run out and to this place down the

312
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: street from my house, which you know of Scotti Ball,

313
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: and there's bread, big, big like piece of bread that's

314
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: like the size of my whole arm from my shoulder

315
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: to my fist, big piece of bread, big and I

316
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: just said I would just like, uh, it's it's actually

317
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: thicker than a baguette as well. And I said I

318
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: would like that that that that that bread please, and

319
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: she's like right, of course, and then it just like

320
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 1: like she takes it away, and I was like, I

321
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: was like, oh no, no, I want to I want

322
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: to go with it. And she's like, oh, yeah, well,

323
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: we're just heating it up for you and getting you

324
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: some butter. And I was just like.

325
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 6: Wait, what, Like you think I'm gonna sit down here

326
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 6: and eat a entire loaf of bread by myself.

327
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: I was like no, I just wanted to go.

328
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 2: I just wanted to go.

329
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: And she's like okay, and then still heated it up,

330
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,959
Speaker 1: still gave me to me with butter. Like she's like

331
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: he's trying to make it seem like this, but he's

332
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: definitely gonna go outside and stand over a trash can

333
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: and eat that whole loaf of bread. By himself, and uh,

334
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: and so that I brought it home and my my,

335
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: my family doesn't really eat bread that much. So so

336
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: I did end up eating the whole flow.

337
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 2: She could do it.

338
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: She knew what was happening.

339
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 2: That's lovely. That is so lovely. Was there a small town,

340
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 2: hometown big thing where you came from, Kristin. Was there

341
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 2: like the yearly yearly pageant parade or ball?

342
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 5: You know? So I grew up in Athens, Georgia.

343
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 2: Very fall.

344
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: What a cool town.

345
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I feel like the equivalent of like Fall

346
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:19,719
Speaker 4: Festival was just Uga football season. Oh yeah, which you know,

347
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 4: really to bring it back to like your festival's hometown festivals.

348
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 4: It was a lot of you know, you know, fart

349
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 4: smells and poppers and all sorts of havoc being waked.

350
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 2: Yes, but people really got dressed up for those football

351
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 2: games too. A lot of times it's like it is

352
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 2: a major every other weekend type of thing where one

353
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 2: hundred thousand people come through Athens and just drink and

354
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 2: party and watch them dogs.

355
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, I remember as a child, I.

356
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 4: There were a couple of like the biggest games, like

357
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 4: the Georgia Florida game used to be huge, and whenever

358
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 4: it was in town, my parents would basically be like, Okay,

359
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 4: we're not leaving the house this weekend.

360
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: There are it's insane.

361
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 4: Masses, Yeah, masses of drunk college students out.

362
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 5: So yeah, it was, uh that was close closest I got.

363
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: Wait that it was pretty often though, that they were

364
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: in town, right, did you? Was there just a multiple

365
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 1: weekends where it was just like, we're not leaving that house?

366
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,239
Speaker 4: I mean, well really it was for if it was

367
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 4: a home game and like the biggest home game, and

368
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 4: the Georgia Florida game was infamous for uh, just people

369
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 4: going wild, and so anytime it was like it's Auburn

370
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 4: was at home or Alabama was at home and gosh, y'all,

371
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 4: I did not mean.

372
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 5: To come on here and talk about SEC football.

373
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 4: I don't even watch anymore, but uh yeah, so that.

374
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 5: Was the vibe.

375
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: So growing up in a college town like that in

376
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: high school, was it cool because you had access to

377
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: like bands that would come by and stuff like that,

378
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: or was it not cool because it was the way

379
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: you grow up?

380
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 4: So I thought it was cool, but I also was

381
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 4: not cool. So in high school, the cool kids were

382
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 4: going to parties with each other and doing like high

383
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 4: school things.

384
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 5: Yes, whereas me and my like freaks and.

385
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 4: Geeks, little little cluster of friends, we would go downtown

386
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 4: and go to shows and try to pretend that like

387
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 4: maybe we were we were freshmen, you know, and and

388
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 4: it was Yeah, it was cool to us, but not

389
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 4: the coolest thing to be doing, right.

390
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's the coolest band town. You had r em,

391
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 2: you had B fifty two's, you had widespread panic, you had.

392
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: What I mean just the forty The forty Watt itself

393
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 1: is just so legendary. It's so such a great club.

394
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 4: Have spent a lot of time at the forty Wat,

395
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 4: and it was it was a lot of fun. I'm

396
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 4: glad that I grew up in a college town. Like

397
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 4: if the college had not been there, just growing up

398
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 4: small town, I feel like I would have gotten myself

399
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 4: in honestly way more trouble than I would have or

400
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 4: did like going to like eighteen and up shows.

401
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 1: That is how I feel about having grown up in

402
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 1: New Jersey is that there was no thing so because

403
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: there was no thing to do. If you're under twenty one,

404
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: you could go to the mall, or you could go

405
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: bowling and that was it. So we just started. We

406
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: just did drugs because that was like we had to

407
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 1: go inward because there was no outward to go to.

408
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: And if there had been like things like we would

409
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: go to, we would have gone to shows constantly. Anytime

410
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: one cool thing happened in that town, we were on

411
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: top of it. But instead it was just let's go

412
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: to drugs.

413
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,239
Speaker 2: I think that's normal. I have one for you as

414
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 2: it's a very short one. This was sentenced by Michael Lewis.

415
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 2: It's we don't normally do this, but this it gotta

416
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 2: la l M f A O out of me. I

417
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 2: L A M That's what I'm saying. I laughed, ass

418
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 2: my ass friggin off. This is a Craigslist post.

419
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: Okay, oh I like these.

420
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 2: Here's the title, trade your vespa for my loud parrot,

421
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 2: and here's the post. This was a location Huntington Beach, California,

422
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,959
Speaker 2: which somehow makes it better to me. I want a vespa.

423
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 2: I hate my wife's parrot. I will give you two

424
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 2: cages two purchase your supply of food. Yellowheaded Amazon parrot.

425
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 2: Female talks mostly just yells my name. That's it.

426
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: Mostly yells my name.

427
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 2: Just wants to trade a living creature that can talk

428
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 2: for a Vespa scooter.

429
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 4: I have a conspiracy theory, yes, okay, I think this

430
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 4: man is planning to kill his wife and the only

431
00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 4: witness is going to be the parents. Is part the

432
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 4: plot of Only Murders in the Building season two.

433
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 5: But if this he wants.

434
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,959
Speaker 4: To give all this parrot stuff away in exchange for something,

435
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 4: he can then.

436
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 5: Leave the crime scene and escape into anonymity at the

437
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 5: beach questions, right.

438
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 2: Gas mileage? Great gas mileage on a vespa could probably

439
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 2: easily get up to Sacramento in one tank.

440
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 5: You had to go off the grid.

441
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: My grandmother had an African gray parrot and when we

442
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: would come down, we would like visit for like a

443
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,239
Speaker 1: week in Christmas time, my mom and I and uh,

444
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: like within a day or two of being there, the

445
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: bird would start going Kurt, Kurt, because my mom was

446
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: always yelling my name because I was always like fucking

447
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: up er doing something curt, so that the bird would

448
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 1: just sit outside and yell my name exactly in my

449
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: mom's voice. Which is the eerie part that it's like

450
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: a mimic of the person who says.

451
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 2: It, Yeah, it is. There was a family on my

452
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 2: street growing up, and their grandmother had a parrot that

453
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 2: would yell go go, go, go, go, go go because

454
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,719
Speaker 2: the husband would watch football, so you would walk in

455
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 2: and it would just start going, go go, go go,

456
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 2: and which is very strange. And then there was a

457
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 2: catchphrase back in the seventies that one of the announcers,

458
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 2: I think for the Colts or maybe as the Baltimore Orios,

459
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 2: would say, ain't the beer cold, which was there like

460
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 2: like if they won, it would be like how sweet

461
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 2: it is, but his thing was ain't the beer cold.

462
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 2: So that parrot would yell go go, go, go go

463
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 2: for like twenty seconds and then just say ain't the

464
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 2: beer cold? And I'm like, I was eight years old,

465
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 2: so i had no idea what was going on. I

466
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 2: love it.

467
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, sports announcers have to have their own little idiosyncratic things, right.

468
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: They have to figure out like new ways to say

469
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: shit that's been said a billion times over and like,

470
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: I don't listen to this, I don't watch sports, but

471
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 1: that's what I get, that vibe that that's what they

472
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 1: have to do.

473
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is it. It's an art form, but it's

474
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 2: also most of the former athletes can barely speak, they

475
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 2: can't put. They always just say in terms of before

476
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 2: everything they say they're and in terms of talking about

477
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 2: sports announcers in terms of that, and I'm just stop

478
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 2: saying in terms of you nerds.

479
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 5: Do you think that it takes a that?

480
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 4: But do you think that bird owners are a particular

481
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 4: personality type?

482
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 2: Yes, you mean the strangest of pet owners people and dogs.

483
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: Great people have birds. They love birds. And I know

484
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to get a lot of shit for this,

485
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: but it definitely seems and I want to apologize to

486
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: all your bird owners out there, but it definitely seems

487
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: like the only rational explanation to how you come to

488
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: own a bird is if someone ran up to you

489
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: on the street and threw a bird at you and

490
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: you caught it and then you're like, oh shit, I

491
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 1: own a bird now, and then they just ran away,

492
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: Like that's the only thing where I could imagine coming

493
00:26:59,000 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: to own a bird.

494
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, they live just too long. I think we might

495
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 2: have discussed this before. Birds live a really long time,

496
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 2: so you better, you know, go get a physical, talk

497
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 2: to your doctor and make sure you got thirty years

498
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 2: to go because birds live for a long time.

499
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 4: Well, I guess once you get once you get old enough,

500
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 4: it can kind of be like a life alert system.

501
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 2: So that's good.

502
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: But it is funny to think of it as a

503
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:24,719
Speaker 1: as a bird as a pet, because you know, like

504
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: cats and dogs, those other pets, you know, like what

505
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: do they have they have? They have whiskers and they

506
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: have paws, you know, and.

507
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 2: Then what is it on the ground where we live?

508
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: The birds have a talons and beaks for ripping and clawing.

509
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 2: And you have to put them in a little jail

510
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 2: so they can't get away from you.

511
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: All right, I'll tease this into a break here, sure, alrighty,

512
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: here we go. It's oh, this is another small town.

513
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: Well it's not small town anymore. It's like the Godfather

514
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: Irish dancing world hit by cheating allegations. You're doubling down down,

515
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: all right.

516
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 2: We'll want to step into the sweet ads with a

00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 2: this is everywhere, but it is crazy that at so many,

Speaker 2: especially chain restaurants, you just get a loaf of bread

582

Speaker 2: before dinner. Just crazy something you would you You know,

583
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 2: you don't really think to do when you're whipping up

584
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 2: dinner for yourself. You never speak to you eat a

585

Speaker 2: Also, I was.

589
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,239
Speaker 1: It was funny. I was in when we did our

590
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: show in Kansas City. I went to Longhorned steakhouse because

591
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: I had thirty five minutes to eat before our show,

592
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: and they did give me the loaf of bread right

593
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,719
Speaker 1: right on the table before a steak and ten shrimp

594
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: came out that were that were I think rolled in

595
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: salt before being cooked. They were so salty. I couldn't

596
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: eat any of it, and so I ate the bread.

597
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: I ended up eating almost all the bread and.

598
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 2: Any of the food.

599
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, understandable, understandable. You guys want to hear

600
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: about this uh Irish dancing allegation? Yeah, here it is.

601

Speaker 1: This was again I apologized for whoever sent this in.

00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: I lost all my contacts.

603
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 2: On Let's dedicate it to t R Walters Ridore Roosevelt Walters,

604
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 2: class of probably nineteen ninety seven.

605
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: This was in the Guardian, so you know it's real.

606
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: Rory Carrol, Rory Carroll, Thank you Rory. That's their Ireland correspondent,

607
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: best in the biz, Rory. Here it is. The ostensibly

608
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: quaint world of Irish dancing has been rocked by allegations

609
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,719
Speaker 1: of competition fixing and cheating, with some parents and teachers

610
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: saying there is a code of omerta is has that

611
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: how you say it akin to The Godfather and The Sopranos.

612
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: The Irish Dancing Commission, a governing body known in Irish

613
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: as an on Commission Laurynci Galica, has appointed a former

614
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: judge to investigate claims that prominent dance schools and teachers

615
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: have rigged competitions. In Emerging this week, it is alleged

616
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: that at least twelve teachers in Ireland and other countries

617
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: conspired to ensure certain dancers scored highly in international tournaments

618
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: known as fesh Shanna. Dance Teachers educate dance competitions from

619
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: small local affairs international events that are independent set. In

620
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: one case, a teacher and a competition judge appeared to

621
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 1: be exchanging sexual favors for higher scores. Yes it's called

622
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: It's called bonen for points. It quoted insiders who spoke

623
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 1: of unusual scoring patterns of competitions and cozy relationships between

624
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: teachers and judges several parents. A teacher, speaking anonymously told

625
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: the paper the Titan industry was like the Mafia, with

626
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: one former river dance star citing the HBO show The Sopranos.

627
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 1: My God, this is intense. A US base teacher said

628
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 1: she was afraid to ask one of the allegedly crooked

629
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: judges for a favor quote, because once you do, you're

630
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 1: indebted to them for life. It's like the Godfather.

631
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 2: There. You think of a less sexual dance than the

632
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 2: river dance? Can you imagine a dance that is, let

633
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 2: the least? It's like, nothing is less like sex than

634
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 2: river dancing. You stand perfectly straight and you only move

635
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 2: your feet.

636
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: No.

637
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 5: No, and that's what the sex looks.

638
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 2: Like too, just tickling each other.

639
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 4: No.

640
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: But I think they made. I think they made. I

641
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: think I agree with you on Irish step dancing. But

642
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 1: then they made river dancing sexy by putting men without

643
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: their shirts in it. That's what's Then they took the

644
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,720
Speaker 1: shirts off and then it was sexy again.

645
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 2: I don't know. We have we have a living, breathing

646
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 2: woman with us. Kristen, do you agree that those men

647
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 2: were sexy?

648
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 4: I mean, you can't see all the Michael Flatley boasters

649
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 4: up in my attic.

650
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you know they're they're certainly fit.

651
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 2: Great answer, that's very diplomatic.

652
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 4: You know you don't want to hurt my Flatle's ego, right,

653
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 4: And I also I don't want to shame any Michael Flatley.

654
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 4: Heads out there, flatheads. Yeah, I do want to hear

655
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 4: from the flatheads. They are a vocal bunch. But wow,

656
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 4: I was not expecting a well, first of all, so

657
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 4: many American references and like of American media to in

658
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 4: this Irish story.

659
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 5: I would like to say, I would like to hear

660
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 5: some Irish references and he too.

661
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:23,800
Speaker 4: Yes, just an editorial note, and I wasn't expecting sexual

662
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 4: favors to be involved.

663
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. The bon bone judging or boning judging or whatever

664
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 2: it is, is what is happening over there. I know,

665
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 2: I'm sure it's a very big deal. I'm sure it's

666
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 2: the equivalent to ice hockey in Canada or something. But

667
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 2: it's like, this seems pretty extreme to be cooking the

668
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,320
Speaker 2: books for some river dancing.

669
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: I like you refer to it as whatever it's called,

670
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: that boat judging, as if it's an official terb.

671
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 2: Oh, I thought you were saying the way you read it.

672
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: I thought that's said it's called boning for points, so.

673
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 2: Bone judging that's a different thing altogether.

674
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 5: You thought there was an Irish step dancing.

675
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 2: Term called boat judge A lit I do.

676
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: I did realize that, I said my joke in the

677
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: same cadence that I was reading the article, so it.

678
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 2: I thought. Rory Carrol said, though.

679
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 4: Oh well, also in this story, I would believe it

680
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 4: because it's so bizarre, huh.

681
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: I did Irish step dancing from I don't know, first

682
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: grade to fifth grade or fourth grade fourth grade when

683
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: I stopped, so probably kindergarten to fourth grade. And those

684
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: feeshs are like big deals, like everybody pays to be

685
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 1: involved with those feeshes. We would travel, we would travel

686
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: like Pennsylvania to go to a feesh, you know. And

687
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: and the competition not for me because I was a

688
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 1: boy doing Irish step dancing in New Jersey at eight

689
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: years old. So I was the only person competing against me.

690
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: That's why I won every single fish I ever went to.

691
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: But for the for the for the girls, there was

692
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 1: like hot. It was a hot competition. It was a

693
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: big deal to win.

694
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 2: Oh I bet it must have been. Really It's like

695
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 2: winning the sausage festival in the middle of Ohio or something.

696
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,720
Speaker 2: It's just a huge deal. I worked on a pilot

697
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 2: years ago that didn't become a TV series, and the

698
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 2: premise was two comedians would hang out with a bridal

699
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 2: party to the wedding party with the groom and the

700
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 2: bride and all their people a week before, and then

701
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 2: at the wedding they would do roast jokes making fun

702
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 2: of both families, okay, and it was Felipe. It was

703
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 2: Filippe Esparza and Ida Rodriguez, I believe were the two

704
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 2: comedians that were very nice and very fun to work with.

705
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 2: And we did one where the bridal party and the

706
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 2: ants and the grandmother and the mom were all going

707
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 2: to do a zoomba class together in New Jersey because

708
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 2: I guess a couple of them did zoomba and the

709
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,040
Speaker 2: zoomba instructor did not show up, so one of the

710
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 2: other producers had to stand off camera and pretend to

711
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,320
Speaker 2: be a zoopa instructure. And because all the other women

712
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 2: sort of knew like the moves and stuff, but we

713
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 2: like played music that we owned the licensing too. And

714
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 2: then this like little Jewish dude named Mark had to

715
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 2: like dance and pretend. He was like, okay, ladies, let's

716
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 2: go to the right. And they're like, it's not really

717
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,800
Speaker 2: kind of right and left, it's more moving the body

718
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 2: and the hips, and he's like, now step forward and

719
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 2: then they just started to ignore him and really got

720
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 2: into it. But I just was standing off camera, like

721
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 2: literally biting my lips so I wouldn't laugh because I'm

722
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,399
Speaker 2: just watching this little Jewish producer be like all these

723
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 2: Puerto Rican American women be like, okay, it's like docy

724
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 2: dough when they're like not here, not here, not this, Why.

725
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 5: Did you hang up your dancing shoes?

726
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: I did not like it. That might So my grandmother

727
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: was a dancer. So I had been dancing my whole

728
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: life because my grandmother ran a dance studio on Asberry Park,

729
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 1: New Jersey. And I have all these photos of me

730
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 1: again as the only boy in like twenty five like

731
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,439
Speaker 1: five year old girls dressed as bees, and then I'm

732
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: in the back, I think, as the honey, I'm not

733
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: dressed as a bee. I'm I'm some other thing. But

734
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: I had like a yellow shirt on, and then another

735
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: one where everybody's bunnies, and I was something else like

736
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: in the background, but that was like jazz. And then

737
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:26,720
Speaker 1: my mom just signed me up for ours step dancing

738
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: because I was raised to honestly believe I was Irish

739
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,879
Speaker 1: because it was everyone I knew was Irish. Catholic everyone,

740
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 1: and I had red hair, so I looked the part

741
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 1: and then you know, and then we got twenty three

742
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: I have I have no Irish in me. There's zero

743
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: Irish in me. As true, I would have guessed not

744
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 1: so id none none. It's all like northern Uh, It's

745
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: like Finland and German and you know, all the northern

746
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 1: areas there's no Irish at all. And so I just

747
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 1: was raised as if I was Irish. But until fourth grade,

748
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: the only thing I enjoyed about iris step dancing was

749
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 1: we would do it in the Shark River Hills fire department.

750
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,399
Speaker 1: The fire department had like a utility room. That's where

751
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: we'd take our steps dancing. Yes, and the bathroom we

752
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: used was a fireman's bathroom, and so they had they

753
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: had pornography in the in the stalls that they would

754
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: not remove when all of the third and fourth graders

755
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: came to Irish step dance. So we would always have

756
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: to be like I have to go to the bathroom,

757
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 1: and then like go and sit in the bathroom. And

758
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: it was like off brand pornography. It wasn't Playboy. It

759
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,800
Speaker 1: was like a smaller it was like a smaller a

760
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: lot of like stories and stuff like erotic stories, and

761
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: I was like, this is a fascinating world. I love it.

762
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: So that was my favorite part. And then when I

763
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:50,919
Speaker 1: realized that was my favorite part, I was like, maybe

764
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: I shouldn't be Iri step dancing anymore.

765
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kurt went to the bathroom two hundred and thirty

766
00:41:56,360 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 2: times that day. Oh that is so funny to me.

767
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 2: I once one night in New York, my sister was

768
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 2: randomly in town and a bunch of her friends were

769
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 2: up also, and one of them was dating an irishman.

770
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 2: And when when I met him, we were in like

771
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 2: a bar somewhere in midtown, and he would walk up

772
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 2: to people, just random people in New York and go

773
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 2: I'm Irish and in his accent, and everybody would be

774
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 2: like yeah, and then like they would work in. I'm like, clearly,

775
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 2: this has to run out. It didn't all night long.

776
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 2: He would just no matter what bar we would go in,

777
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 2: he'd tell the bartender, he'd tell other tables. He would

778
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 2: literally just say I'm Irish and people would be like,

779
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 2: that's great, that's yesesome.

780
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: In New York people they it really is true. Everyone

781
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: loves the Irish. Did they probably bottom drinks right all

782
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: night long.

783
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,720
Speaker 2: And it's the irony is that, like the iverisher treated

784
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 2: so terribly in New York, like two hundred years ago,

785
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty years ago, and now you just

786
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 2: say I'm irish and you're not paying for a drink

787
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:57,879
Speaker 2: all night. Oh keep doky. I'm gonna stay on this theme.

788
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 2: Kurt and I don't tell each other are stories beforehand,

789
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 2: but this has a little bit of a conspiracy edge

790
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 2: two and it's about food. Very strange. It must be

791
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 2: in the air. Jessica Lynde sent this in a little

792
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 2: while back. Jessica, we got to you. Thanks for sending

793
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 2: it in. This was on Kurt's favorite website. He has

794
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,760
Speaker 2: a tramp stamp of this delish dot com.

795
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: And every day I regret putting it somewhere. I don't

796
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,760
Speaker 1: see it every day. The fact that it's on my back,

797
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 1: I wish I had gotten it on my knuckles.

798
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 2: On your front.

799
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 4: Dlish dot com.

800
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 2: Sounds like when when the Internet was new in the

801
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 2: late nineties and you just everybody bought every domain socks

802
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,399
Speaker 2: dot com, pets dot com. Somebody's like delicious dot com,

803
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:48,720
Speaker 2: delish dot com. This was written by Daniel delish Harling.

804
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:56,359
Speaker 2: I put the delicious Danielle. If you're listening, you are

805
00:43:56,360 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 2: now Danielle delish Harling, and I'm sorry. Uh. Brilla customers

806
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:06,280
Speaker 2: sue because Italy's number one brand of pasta is made

807
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 2: in the United States. So you guys know Brilla it's

808
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 2: the blue box, right.

809
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: I always thought it was probably the best because it

810
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 1: seemed very Italian.

811
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 2: Well, boy, get in on this class action lawsuit. If

812
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 2: you've ever picked up a Navy blue box of Gorilla pasta,

813
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 2: you may have caught a glimpse at the pasta brand's

814
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 2: slogan quote Italy's number one brand of pasta end quote. Well,

815
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 2: it's that very slogan that was at the center of

816
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 2: a lawsuit filed last year by customers Matthew Sinatro and

817
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 2: Jessica Prost, Good Morning America reports. According to the pair's lawsuit,

818
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:48,359
Speaker 2: the slogan quote leads reasonable customers to believe that Gorilla's

819
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 2: products are made and or manufactured in Italy using Italian ingredients.

820
00:44:54,640 --> 00:45:00,120
Speaker 1: Right, yes, oh sure, Chris Christen doesn't agree.

821
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 5: I think skeptical, but I'll hold off yees.

822
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 2: So it's okay. That's why we have bananas. It's a dialogue.

823
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 2: You know, we dive in. It's a discourse for those

824
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:15,720
Speaker 2: unfamiliar Gorillas. It's probably like Billa's products are primarily made

825
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:19,399
Speaker 2: in the company's plants in ames Iowa, so like its

826
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 2: actually Barrilla.

827
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 1: It's not Bria, it's but the most American acts at

828
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 1: Brilla Brilla Gorilla.

829
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:31,360
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, Kurt and I just ate

830
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 2: at a fast food join in ames Iowa because we

831
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 2: tried to go to Taco Bell and ames Iowa and

832
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 2: it was locked and we were like, we have to pee.

833
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 2: We're driving to Minneapolis, the third Taco Bell that we've

834
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 2: tried to go to together. Yes, and they refuse to

835
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 2: have us Yep. Yeah. Brilla argued that there's quote no

836
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:59,760
Speaker 2: reasonable consumer would be deceived, No reasonable consumer could be deceived.

837
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:04,359
Speaker 2: I mean I get their argument too. By their packaging sense,

838
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 2: they're conspicuously marked made in the USA with the location

839
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:13,760
Speaker 2: of their headquarters in Illinois. Unfortunately for the pasta brand.

840
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 2: The judge in the matter, Judge Donna m I think

841
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 2: it's ryu could be REU has just given the lawsuit

842
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 2: the green light, so it's moving forward. She dismissed Brilla's

843
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 2: attempt to drop the case. In response to the lawsuit proceeding,

844
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 2: had Brilla had to share this with Good Morning America,

845
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 2: Brilla remains committed to vigorously defending against unfounded claims, as

846
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 2: the wording on our box clearly states made in the USA,

847
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 2: with USA and imported ingredients. Were very proud of the

848
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 2: brand's Italian heritage and the company's Italian know how and

849
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 2: the quality of our pasta in the United States and globally.

850
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:03,320
Speaker 4: Italian and know how it's a slippery term, like what

851
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:04,359
Speaker 4: does that mean?

852
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 1: Tell you know how we drink espresso.

853
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:11,759
Speaker 2: We know that you have to boil water before you

854
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 2: put pasta in and we know that from Italy.

855
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 5: And maybe toss it a dash of salt, just.

856
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:20,280
Speaker 2: A dashhow they don't stick. We know this from Italy.

857
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 1: Oh man, I remember as a kid, was this truth?

858
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: You guys? Like people would always talk about al dente

859
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:31,399
Speaker 1: as if it was some like authentic idea of being Italians,

860
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:36,320
Speaker 1: Like no, no, me personally, I like my pasta al dente,

861
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: you know, And it's just like, yeah, everybody does. That's

862
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,760
Speaker 1: what everybody eats it, as it says on the box,

863
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 1: to make it out that day. But in New Jersey,

864
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 1: it was like no for me, because I'm Italian, I

865
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: like it al Dente and it's like all right.

866
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 2: Well, when I first moved out to La there was

867
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 2: somebody sent me a video of a guy auditioning, just

868
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 2: some random actor, and he had written a scene and

869
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 2: he it's just him sitting at a table eating and

870
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,439
Speaker 2: nodding at somebody off camera that we don't see. Grown man,

871
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:09,320
Speaker 2: late forties, blondish hair, and all of a sudden, he

872
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:12,800
Speaker 2: slams down his fork and yells, this isn't al Dante,

873
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 2: I said. Al Dante then laughs maniacally, and then the

874
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:21,280
Speaker 2: laugh turns into crying no, really, yes, I will find it.

875
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 2: It is one of the strangest videos. I used to

876
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 2: laugh so hard that a friend of mine grabbed a

877
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 2: screenshot and turned it into a throat pillow for me,

878
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 2: this isn't al Dante.

879
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 4: Would also like like a character named al Dante.

880
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, Dante.

881
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:43,320
Speaker 2: Maybe they're making a new naked gun movie, so you maybe.

882
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 1: In I'm a little stiff, my name's al Dante, a

883
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 1: little slippery, and it writes itself, It writes itself.

884
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 2: So I also went down a conspiracy wormhol because Texas

885
00:48:58,280 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 2: Pete is also.

886
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 1: Yes, current, yes, according to made in Louisiana.

887
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:07,879
Speaker 2: Right, So, the makers of Texas Pete Hot Sauce faced

888
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 2: lawsuit over product being made in North Carolina.

889
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: North Carolina.

890
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:14,879
Speaker 2: Same thing Tabasco is made in Louisiana.

891
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: There you go.

892
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 2: There it is Camille or Camille Fine or Camille Fine

893
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 2: for USA Today wrote this and it's very similar. Man

894
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 2: filed a class action lawsuit against Texas Pete Hot Sauce

895
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:29,240
Speaker 2: after he learned the product that isn't actually made in Texas.

896
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 2: And I'll skip reading the most thing, but one of

897
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:37,480
Speaker 2: the things that he said is yeah, this is part

898
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:40,839
Speaker 2: of his complaint. He feels cheated in the way that

899
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,839
Speaker 2: the market leading because of the market leading position of

900
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 2: this brand in a three billion dollar hot sauce industry,

901
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 2: comes at the expense of lawbiding competitors and consumers nationwide

902
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 2: who desire authentic Texas hot sauce because they when they

903
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 2: because a flavor profile is targeted to be uniquely Texas

904
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 2: over several hundred years, it is no surprise that Texas

905
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,440
Speaker 2: takes great pride in its hot sauce. The complaint says,

906
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 2: this is so I am sort of for the brilla

907
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 2: lawsuit and I'm completely against the Texas Peak lawsuit. And

908
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 2: I can't articulate.

909
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: Why, Kristen, where do you come down?

910
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 5: Well? I was I'm first curious, does Texas Peak guy?

911
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 5: Does he live in Texas?

912
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 2: I believe he lives in California.

913
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 4: Okay, throw it out of court, throw it out of court.

914
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 2: It's California resident. Philip White purchased a bottle of Texas

915
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 2: Pete at a Ralph supermarket in September twenty twenty one,

916
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 2: believing it was made in Texas. Then he filed a

917
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 2: case this year on September twelfth in Los Angeles Federal Court.

918
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 1: Just wait a second, does he doesn't He doesn't even

919
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 1: own a hot sauce company.

920
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 2: No, he's just a guy that feels hoodwinked. He feels misled.

921
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,879
Speaker 5: What it has the time and money to f lawsuit?

922
00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:57,760
Speaker 1: What?

923
00:50:57,960 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 2: I don't know? Oh?

00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 1: And it's just like, oh, you're suing Texas Pete himself.

927
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 4: Yes, it's gotta be impossible to grocery shop with.

928
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 5: And he's just like staring at the boxes like are

929
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 5: you sure about this?

Speaker 1: We've been trying to make elve cookies for a long

933

Speaker 1: time and Keebler Elves is the market leader and there's

934
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:35,880
Speaker 1: no real Elves.

Speaker 2: I worked as a salesperson in Queens, and like every

937
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,239
Speaker 2: month on one of our shifts, he would get in.

938
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:48,320
Speaker 2: He'd look at me, He's like, I gotta get my cakes.

939
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 2: And I'd be like, you gotta get your cakes. He's like,

940
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 2: I gotta get my cakes. And what this meant was

941
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 2: we would drive out to like where Queens meets Long

942
00:51:56,160 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 2: Island and there was a Hostess Wonderbread out. Have either

943
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 2: of you ever been to one of those? Yes? No,

944
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 2: It is where stuff that has just expired is taken

945
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 2: off the shelves and sold for dramatically cheaper.

946
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 1: Prices, like a quarter for everything exactly. Yeah, there was

947
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 1: one in New Jersey we would go to all the time.

948
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,319
Speaker 2: And you should. Those things have so much preservatives in him,

949
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 2: there's no difference. It's just food waste. But Steve owned

950
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,280
Speaker 2: you know, his side hustle was he had twenty vending

951
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 2: machines in Queens of Long Island at LaGuardia Community College,

952
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:32,799
Speaker 2: and so he would go and we would buy all

953
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 2: of it. I would go with armfuls, like you would think,

954
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:38,400
Speaker 2: like truly armfuls of Twinkies and ding Dongs and snowballs

955
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:41,439
Speaker 2: and zingers and all that crap. And we would drive

956
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 2: around on that shift where we were supposed to be

957
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 2: selling red bull and instead we would stock vending machines

958
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 2: with expired and then he would eat them the whole time.

959
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 2: That was the part that would be so funny to me.

960
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 2: We'd be drive around, he'd be like, they're really good,

961
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 2: though they're still fresh, as if he was like knew

962
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 2: I was going to assue him. He's like, they're still good,

963
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 2: so he's marking them up to like getting them for

964
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:03,760
Speaker 2: a nickel or whatever. But once a month, I gotta

965
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 2: get my cakes, man, I gotta get my cake. He

966
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:08,320
Speaker 2: was a cool dude.

967
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:12,319
Speaker 1: Oh man, Kristen, tell us more about Ladylike. Tell us

975
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 4: dot co not dot com because I couldn't get that M.

976
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 1: They got rid of the M dot co. Like, there's

977
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:48,759
Speaker 1: so many things that are dot co now and I

978
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 1: just was like, they just got rid of the M.

979
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:52,120
Speaker 1: Next is dot c.

980
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:55,280
Speaker 5: It just looks like a typo.

981
00:53:55,400 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 2: Now do you have do you do all this research yourself?

982
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 2: Because we you know, we get our stories sent to

983
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 2: us and then we kind of find the best version

984
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 2: of the best headline. But do you have to do

985
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 2: all this research on your own? Or do you have

986
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 2: people that help you out?

987

Speaker 4: I would love to have people who help me out,

989
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 4: But I do all of my own research.

990
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:17,359
