91
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 7: But you know, the buses in Europe are so amazing

92
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,000

110
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,280

113
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 5: in a coffin. I don't know what that says about me, but.

114

Speaker 1: at Halloween too. But yeah's talk about your album, A

116
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: Very Magnetic Christmas. Tell us why it's called a very

117
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: magnetic Christmas. Is it polarizing? Is it for everyone? What

118
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: do we got?

119
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 5: It's for everyone. There's a little there's sexiness, there's Jesus,

120
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 5: there's Santa. There's really somebody for everyone. Yeah, it really is.

121
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 6: So it's called a very Magnetic Christmas because we recorded

122
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 6: it at Memphis Magnetic Studios where.

123
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 5: I recorded my last album Cool. When we recorded my

124
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 5: last album.

125
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 6: At Memphis Magnetic, then COVID hit so we couldn't tour

126
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 6: our Memphis Magnetic tours. So when kind of we were

127
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 6: able to be together again, I said, you know, I

128
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 6: really want to do a Christmas album.

129
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 5: I really want to continue this, this music and this

130
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 5: music making with these people in Memphis. So we went back.

131
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: That's great. I am so.

132
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 2: I have two little kids, and so all of December,

133
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: like starting December first, it's just Christmas has begun and

134
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 2: it goes until January seventh. Yeah, and so I'm very

135
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 2: excited to put your album on. Oh thank you, sweet

136
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 2: sweet Christmas music.

137
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 5: It's a very soulful album. We recorded it to tape.

138
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 6: It's got it's very kind of soul and R and

139
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 6: B kind of based, and there's one very dirty, dirty

140
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 6: funk track. And other than that, it's it's all for

141
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 6: the family, but they probably it'll go above their head.

142
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: Yes, that's fantastic. I have maybe a controversial question. Since

143
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: you're a singer, how do you feel about carollers? I

144
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: find them horrified. I'm terrified of opening the door and

145
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: having strangers sing it.

146
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 6: Oh it's And also, since I'm in New Yorker, it

147
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 6: would be even more horrifying if I opened.

148
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 5: My hallway door and their carollers. That's even worse. I

149
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 5: was like, how did you get here? Who let you up?

150
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 6: No?

151
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 5: I yeah, I don't. I don't know about it.

152
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 6: You know, it just seems very Disneyland at one of

153
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 6: the squares, and it's just an adult to Disney.

154
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 4: I hope nothing.

155
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 5: Either of you are adults at Disney right. Nope, okay, great,

156
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 5: well that's you have kids. It's fine.

157
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,400

193
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: a man arrested after police chase claims he was teaching

194
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 2: dog to drive. Now this isn't just a claim, guys, here,

195
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 2: listen to this.

196
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: Uh huh.

197
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 2: A man in Washington State who was arrested after leading

198
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 2: a police chase says his dog was the one behind

199
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 2: the wheel. Officials say the man hit two cars and

200
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 2: failed to stop at some point. During the chase, he

201
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 2: reached one hundred and nine miles per hour and even

202
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 2: made it and even made it on a pedestrian trail.

203
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 2: When troopers tried to corner him, they saw the man's

204
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 2: pit bull in the driver's seat.

205
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 4: Oh my god.

206
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 2: Authorities play spiked strips that eventually stopped the car. The

207
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 2: suspect then told troopers he was trying to teach his

208
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 2: dog to drive, and the man was charged with reckless

209
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 2: in dangerment, HITT and run driving under the influence and

210
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 2: felony eluding. His bond was set at eighty five hundred,

211
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 2: so he actually the dog was Actually, that's gotta be

212
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 2: the funniest thing to just see a pit bull. But

213
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: like in the driver's seat. That is so I hope

214
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 2: that that I in the future when like like driving

215
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 2: cars happen. I hope multiple people put dogs in the

216
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 2: driver's seat. That becomes a trend in the future. But

217
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 2: don't do it when you're I guess probably on meth. Wow,

218
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 2: how fast one hundred and what one hundred and nine?

219
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 2: Oh my god, with just a dog in the so

220
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 2: his foot must be on the gas and then the.

221
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 5: Dog can't even reach the gas I mean's.

222
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 4: Mouth.

223
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, some blocks tied, some blocks to it. That dog

224
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: can drive. That is so strange. Also, I like, I

225
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: like whenever you just look over and see a dog

226
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 1: having the time of their life in a car, and

227
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: it's like proof that dogs are the greatest just because

228
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 1: humans love cars. Dogs somehow love cars more than humans.

229
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: It's like the greatest symbiotic relationship. They just eat it up.

230
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 4: My love.

231
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 2: My wife's very first memory is being in a car

232
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: in the back seat. She was in a car seat

233
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 2: I think.

234
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: Maybe not.

235
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 2: Uh, And there was a dog in the car with her,

236
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 2: and it wasn't her mom's dog. It was her mom's

237
00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 2: friend's dog apparently. And her first memory is what the

238
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 2: dog take a shit in the backseat of the car,

239
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 2: because it was like right there and yeah, it's like welcome.

240
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 3: Wow.

241
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 2: She remembers it specifically, like sunlight streaming in, butthole opening,

242
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 2: poop coming out, falling onto the odd to this seat.

243
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: And then according to her.

244
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 8: Mom, she just went dog. That's how they were alerted

245
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 8: that the dog had just shipped the back seat. Is

246
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 8: there to say, it's a beautiful it's a beautiful first memory.

247
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 8: I always wonder like what, because you have no control

248
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 8: over what your kid's first memory is gonna be.

249
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: Oh, and I'm always wondering, like Morgan, what's it gonna be?

250
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: What is yours? Do you have any what's your earliest

251
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: your earliest thing, like that glimpse that comes into your brain.

252
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: Do you remember anything very early on?

253
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 6: I mean it's gotta be animal related for me as well,

254
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 6: because we had like so many animals. My first word

255
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 6: was kiddy, My next where was dog or puppy or

256
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 6: so yeah, my first one was kiddie, and so we

257
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 6: always had animals around. I was obsessed with animals, So

258
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 6: it's got to be animal related. It's gonna be something.

259
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 5: We had turtles and fish and birds, and we had everything,

260
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 5: you know. So I don't know.

261
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 9: I've never thought about that, like about the first thing

262
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 9: I can remember, because then I, you know, we formed

263
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 9: so many thoughts and opinions around what we've been told,

264
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 9: so it's hard to know what we really do remember, right.

265
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 1: That's true, that's true. Mine is about a dog too.

266
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: My I can remember walking my my parents had put

267
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: me to sleep. I was probably two or three. I

268
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: was probably three, and they were playing Gin Rummy with

269
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: my then dating aunt and uncle and they were playing

270
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: and they were having some drinks, being cool eighties parents.

271
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: And they had a dog named Easy, and the dog

272
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 1: Easy was under and I sat under the table with

273
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: Easy and it was just my parents' legs, my uncle's legs,

274
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: you know, and my aunt's legs and me just petting

275
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: a dog. And then I fell asleep under the table.

276
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: That is so comforting.

277
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 5: Oh wow, that is so oh.

278
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 6: I missed those days when there was nothing else to

279
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 6: do except games and ships.

280
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 1: I'm living it I'm living at people. They're going to

281
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: be in Christmas mode. I can't believe you're already Wait

282
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: how old did.

283
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 2: Hold him back? Two and four Christmas time? It'll be

284
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 2: this will be Gus's like first Christmas where he like

285
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 2: understands that things happen, you know. So I'm excited, but

286
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 2: I do think this is my fear. On Olive's first memory.

287
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 2: This happened when she was like two and a half

288
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 2: maybe three years old. Uh, there was a flower on

289
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 2: a tree. We were like strollering by. She like pointed

290
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 2: at the flower. I was like, you want to smell

291
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 2: the flower. I picked the flower and brought it down

292
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 2: to her, but it happened to have a like a

293
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 2: beetle inside of it, and then she went to smell it,

294
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 2: and the beetle jumped and like hit her in the cheek.

295
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 2: And then she was convinced that a bee stung her eyeball.

296
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: Oh fun, oh wow.

297
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 2: Then she was so upset about it and I was

298
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 2: I was like and I literally turned out to Lauren

299
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 2: and be like, look at watch this be her first memory.

300
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 2: And weeks later she would be like, do you remember

301
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 2: when the bee was in the flower? You gave me

302
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 2: and it stung my eye, just like, oh no, it's

303
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: like it wasn't a bee at all. It was a

304
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 2: beatle and it.

Speaker 2: Yeah, she still talks about it. She's like, I don't

308
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 2: like bees. They hide in flowers and stain your eyes.

309
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:34,360

330
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: uh le. Isaacson built her startup to address a stigma.

331
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: I think exactly what we were just discussing right now.

332
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: Handsome men, she says, have been quote ripped to shreds

333
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: end quote on dating apps, all because they love cats.

334
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: Isaacson is, I did deserve it. Oh come on. Isaacson

335
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: is the co founder and CEO of Kurt Take a

336
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: Guess what a cat for dating site.

337
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 2: It's called I already made my guess taxoblasmosis plus propus

338
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 2: plus or pusses.

339
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: You get some early adopters. It's called Tabby with a Y,

340
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: a dating app for cat lovers that launched in August

341
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. It's Isaacson's second such venture. Three years ago,

342
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,479
Speaker 1: she also launched dig, a dating app for dog lovers

343
00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: that has grown past one hundred thousand users. She said

344
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: on shark Tank. So data backs her premise. Last year,

345
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: Colorado State University and Boise State University asked a very

346
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: normal number of people, you two, one, three and eighty

347
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: eight heterosexual women between the ages of eighteen to twenty

348
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: four to rate a group of men's photographs. Some were

349
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: holding cats, some were holding dogs, the study found. The

350
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: study found that men pictured holding their cats were viewed

351
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: as not datable or less datable. Whoa whoa huge? I

352
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: don't get this cat.

353
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 5: How were they holding the cat? How are they holding again?

354
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: They were holding out back?

355
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 5: They were skinning it.

356
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,719
Speaker 1: I don't get this cat. Shame, said shark Laurie Grennire

357
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: or Greener Griner. Griner a self professed cat person. She

358
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 1: did not invest in Tabby, but one of her cohorts,

359
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: Kevin o'lear you, who agreed to a deal worth three

360
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: hundred thousand in exchange for thirty percent steak in the company,

361
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: who says, I have become a cat lover because it

362
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: has a lot of cash flow, always talking business.

363
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 2: Wait wait, wait, I've become a cat lover because it

364
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 2: has because it has a lot of cash flow.

365
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: So I don't understand that. But so his cat pay

366
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: him to have it hang out. Yes, he it's pretty crazy.

367
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,959
Speaker 1: So basically the stigmas. When Isaacson was selling this to him,

368
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: she said, my that with Dig and then with Tabby,

369
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: we have learned that there are places like dog parks

370
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: for there aren't places like dog parks for cat people

371
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: to go out and meet each other. So there is

372
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: this stigma that cat people are indoor people. And then

373
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: I'll just wrap it up with this. She said. That

374
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: stigma includes comments on other dating apps like quote, my

375
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: friend said you have four cats. That equals four red flags,

376
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: and I hope you don't sleep with that thing. I mean,

377
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,959
Speaker 1: come on, everybody be a little nicer here.

378
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 4: That's it.

379
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 6: I have so many questions I too, First of all, like,

380
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 6: come on, this are judgmental people like and also I

381
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 6: can think of My main concern is that name.

382
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 5: Of that app is terrible Tabby, and I can think

383
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 5: of so many better names.

384
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,959
Speaker 1: Sure, absolutely Tabby.

385
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 5: Is that a pond that I'm missing or something?

386
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 2: It's the type of cat, right? But no, then, and

387
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 2: that's it. The connection to dating is right, right, that's

388
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 2: a good name. Right, But you're right if it was

389
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 2: like your bartup the one that.

390
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 6: Was like Dig, also that should have been called like fetch,

391
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 6: like you know, like doble entendres.

392
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 5: Aren't they all supposed to be? Nobody asked me, you

393
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 5: know what I mean? And I don't expect to call

394
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 5: for tabby as well?

395
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: How about this? What if it's tap by? Oh everybody

396
00:20:58,720 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: get tapped?

397
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 5: Or like per something with perr, you know, or something

398
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 5: with like.

399
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: Oh perr is a good I like per or catnap.

400
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 5: Catnap per perfect perfect match.

401
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think maybe we're going down. I think Isaacson's

402
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: oh god, oh god. It's pretty wild though, yeah, because

403
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: it was like the idea is it's a dating app,

404
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: but that you have to answer cat related cat ownership

405
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: related questions like how much do you spend on your

406
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,719
Speaker 1: cat in a month, which to me feels very revealing.

407
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: That feels even more like if somebody's like I spent

408
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: two thousand dollars a month on cat stuff, you're like, yeah, Okay.

409
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: When I I I dated a girl years ago who

410
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: lived in Mississippi, and I was talking to her grandmother,

411
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: who is I believe ninety. When I met her, born

412
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: and raised, grew up her whole life in southern Mississippi,

413
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 1: and she said when they were kids that they her

414
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: mom had these three bloodhounds and they would outside the

415
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,959
Speaker 1: back door of the kitchen. The kitchen was separate from

416
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: the house for temperature reasons in the south, and that

417
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: whenever they had scraps, they would just open on the

418
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: back door and toss scraps to these dogs, these dogs,

419
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: and the dogs just eating right out of mid air.

420
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 1: It was like the dogs loved it. Anytime the door opened,

421
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: they knew it do. And then she told me that

422
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: later on as a little kid, maybe it was her

423
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: first memory, actually know I'm saying this. She their cat

424
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: had a litter of kittens, and the kittens were scratching

425
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: at the mom's ankle, and she got so mad. She

426
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: picked up the through outside and the bloodhound swallowed a

427
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 1: kitten hole and then the kitten fought its way back out,

428
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: and she said, the look on the's face when it

429
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: realized it made a mistake was.

430
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 4: Like what have I done?

431
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: And then just barfed the kitten, totally live and unhurt,

432
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: just swallowed it one like and that it was just

433
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: little mucus saliva covered just like walking towards the kitchen,

434
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: like what just happened? But yeah, she said, her mother

435
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 1: said as soon as she opened the door and let

436
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: the cat go, it was like.

437
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 5: No, my god, because I was going to say that

438
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 5: mom is a savage.

439
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: Yeah no, she didn't even live. All animals were Oh god.

440
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,719
Speaker 1: But as soon as she told me that, I was like, well,

441
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: that's stuck in my mind for the rest of her ever.

442
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 4: Wow.

443
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: I love that. Yes, no animals were hurt during the story.

444
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: Everybody had an interesting experience and came out of it

445
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: a more interesting animal. Oh wow. Also, that grandmother made

446
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: me kiss her on the lips every time I went over,

447
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: and she ate Redman chewing tobacco, so it was you'd

448
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: have to just go directly over and she was like,

449
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: I don't see what the big deal about affection is.

450
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: And then you'd have to walk in and she'd have

451
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: a pouch of red Man in her hand and chewing tobacco,

452
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: and you'd have to lean over her recliner and kiss

453
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: her squarely on the lips.

454
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 2: She's in a recliner, just she's chawing in the corner,

455
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 2: just daring you not to do it, spit spitting into

456
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 2: a PEPSI can yep, nice lady.

457
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 5: Wow, this is a traumatic dating experience.

458
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: They usually are.

459
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 2: This is crazy because that story completely connects up with

460
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 2: a story that we have a deep connection to podcast.

461
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 2: And I will tease us with it and we'll take

462
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 2: a little break here. It is man who turned his

463
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 2: dead cat into a drone now plans to create a

464

Speaker 2: cow helicopter.

465
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: The letters are gonna come Morgan's Atarian.

466
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 5: We are and we're going down a dark path.

467
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: We're going to bring it to the lights.

468
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 2: We are bad, Scotty. I have I have a shout

469
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 2: out before we before we jump right back in. Okay,

470
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 2: this was sent in. It is emailed in actually from

471
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 2: a woman named Melissa Wisner. Okay's Banana Boys.

472
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 1: First. I love the podcast.

473
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 2: I'm a new bananaal, but I'm almost caught up, so

474
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 2: I feel weird asking for my own B day shout out.

475
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 2: But I don't have a special someone anymore. I know

476
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 2: it'll be late. But my thirtieth birthday is November two,

477
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 2: and my daughter's first birthday is November seventh, and this

478
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 2: is going to be the hardest B day to celerate

479
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 2: because I lost my husband on September eleventh, twenty twenty one.

480
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 2: It would really make me smile to get a shout

481
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 2: out for myself and for my daughter. Laanna didn't think

482
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 2: so many people would pronounce her name. Linnea also realized

483
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 2: after picking her name that it's anal backwards.

484
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: Oh well, Wana's a pretty We like that name me too.

485
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 2: I'm trying to live life to the fullest as much

486
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 2: as I can being a single parent. My husband didn't

487
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 2: get a chance to listen to you guys, but he

488
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,760

00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,240

490
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 2: about off roading.

504
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,479
Speaker 1: this on our live show Morgan. When we were doing

505
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 1: our live shows, we asked the live audience, who's come

506
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,479
Speaker 1: from the furthest distance away? Who flew in? We've had

507
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: some really far ones. And I had made twelve twelve

508
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: inch long rulers that say you are the longest banana

509
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: that we were going to give out live shows. Somebody

510
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 1: stole them while I was at a wedding in Mexico.

511
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 1: So some male robbery in La is. It's not uncommon.

512
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: We'll say it like that our package robbery. And so

513
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: somebody out there ripped that thing open, probably thinking they

514
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: were getting a sweet I don't know, expensive watch and

515
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: it said, gut one hundred and forty four feet of

516
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 1: you're the longest banana. So Jill like that sent us

517
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: You're the longest banana rulers free of charge, Kurt. So

518
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,760

577
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: like Maroon Five's music sounds like what Twin Brothers kissing

578
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,680

579
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: of maps is so good that what company does that? Morgan?

580
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,440

00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: show in New York once. Oh maybe yeah, maybe it

588
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: was with a Broadway production, maybe Gott'spill something like that.

589
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: I remember. Yeah.

590
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 5: I was wearing pumpkin pants, like Shakespearean pumpkin pants and

591
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 5: a knee high sock.

592
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: So it was memorable fashion cyclical. It'll be back, is

00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: gonna be the number one pantaloon to wear hat pigtails.

594
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 5: I had you have pigtails?

595
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: All right, let's horrify our listeners with the cow hellicoutter.

596
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 10: This is so.

597
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 2: This is one of our our second episode of Bananas Ever.

598
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 2: We talked about this dead cat drone where this guy

599
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 2: he had a beloved cat. He loved his cat so much.

600
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 2: Is an artist by the name Bart Janssen, which is

601
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 2: like he's Dutch, so it's like the Dutch Bart Simpson.

602
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 3: Uh he is.

603
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: He loved his cat so much and he's an artist.

604
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: Cat died.

605
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 2: He then taxidermied the cat and then put propellers on

606
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 2: it and gave a little engine to it.

607
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: And it can fly, it could fluck.

608
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 2: It's a cat draw and it is genuine I'm just

609
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 2: it is just video of it is genuinely the funniest

610
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 2: thing I've ever seen in my entire life.

611
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: But it was all done out of love. And he's

612
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: an artist, so I back them up. I'm looking at

613
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: a picture of it. It's killing me. So here it is.

614
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: But anyway, we posted it.

615
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 2: This was we had just started the podcast, right and

616
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 2: we didn't we were kind of still finding the voice

617
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 2: of seeing what was appropriate to talk about what wasn't

618
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 2: appropriate brand new And I posted the video online and

619
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 2: people got so angry that the video had been posted

620
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 2: that I had to take it down. And it's like

621
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 2: one of the few times we've ever had to like

622
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 2: take something down. Yes, so I'm I'm pushing fate, but

623
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 2: I think people know that our hearts are in the

624
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 2: right place now.

625
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: Whereas before it was like who are the story of these?

626
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: Here it is Bart Jansen, is it?

627
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 3: So?

628
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 2: This was sent in by Sally, Thank you so much, Sack.

629
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 2: This was published in Metro, written by Nicole Morley. Here

630
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 2: it is Bart Jansen is a Dutch artist who hit

631
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 2: the headlines a few years back when he scooped out

632
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 2: the entrails of his dead pet to make a fur

633
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 2: covered throne.

634
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: Apparently didn't go right into it.

635
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 2: Apparently the morbid remote controlled corpse was just a taste

636
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 2: of Jansen's creativity, and he's back with a bigger and

637
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 2: even better invention. A cow helicopter. Yes, a helicopter made

638
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 2: out of a cow. Come in quote, a cow could

639
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 2: fit a person, So a cow is one of the

640
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,959
Speaker 2: options that means we'd be using a cow. Indeed, Jansen

641
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 2: told Business Insider or any other animal we can lay

642
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,719
Speaker 2: our hands on that fits a person.

643
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 5: So this is I also like that, like Business Insider

644
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 5: like also.

645
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,280
Speaker 2: This also does feel like he was just like, people

646
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 2: stop talking about my dead cat drone?

647
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: Why not I just say the words cow, helicopter, and

648
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: that's an article. It worked on us. It totally worked. Right,

649
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,240
Speaker 1: there's no proof he's made it or anything.

650
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 2: He's still taking suggestions on what else to have have

651
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,240
Speaker 2: it be, But yeah, he's one of the weirdest artists,

652
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 2: but also one of the funniest.

653
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: That's so fun. I like helicopters. They're really fun. I've

654
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 1: written in helicopters a bunch of times. When I was

655
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: in Costa Rica years ago, there was a I tried

656
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 1: to do all the tours, but I often traveled by myself,

657
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: and so they wouldn't let me go on tours. Yeah,

658
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 1: you had to go, like so like if it was

659
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: like a four wheeler excursion, they were like, if it's

660
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: just you, you can't go. If you can, if you

661
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: were a couple, I would take you. And so you're like, okay,

662
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: I'll not go. But this one guy because it's not

663
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: worth their time exactly. And I understand that. But this

664
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: guy that was sitting at the bar named Bjorg, and

665
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 1: he goes, I have an aerocopter, and I go, what

666
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: is that. It's like a lightweight. He said, I flew

667
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,919
Speaker 1: it over the Chilean Alps to get here. So I said,

668
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: I'll do it. Yeah, that's true, And so I met

669
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 1: him the next day early and it kind of looks

670
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: like a plane. It's got like a propeller. But the

671
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: cool thing about it's got it's got a helicopter propeller

672
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: on the top. But if the engine stalls the way

673
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,760
Speaker 1: it's designed, the propeller keeps spinning, so you can't crash.

674
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: You just slowly lower down. Yeah. So I was like,

675
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 1: sounds cool. So we take it. And I was the

676
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: only person that day. He was like so pumped that

677
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: anybody wanted to do it, And so he gave me

678
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 1: this tour up and down costa Rica of the saltwater crocodiles,

679
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: hundreds of eagle rays jumping like everything you could want

680
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 1: to see. And then to prove his point that these

681
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 1: things can't just crash, he goes, see that house over there.

682
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: I said, yes, he goes, that's mel Gibson's house. I said, yeah,

683
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: he goes. Everybody hates that he built it on this

684
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 1: private beach. The Costa Rican government made him. You have

685
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: to he has to allow Costa Rican citizens on that beach,

686
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: Like he can't just block people off. So, but it's

687
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 1: almost impossible to get to except if you're in an aerocopter.

688
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: Sit so Bjorg flying out of Samura. We we are

689
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: ending our thing and he cuts the engine over mel

690
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: Gibson's mansion and we drift down into his backyard, touch

691
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 1: the grass, roll across. Then he just guns it, flips

692
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: off the house and takes off out over the ocean.

693
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 5: Oh my god.

694
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,479
Speaker 1: Technically I've been. I've hung out at mel Gibson's Costa

695
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 1: Rican beach house before with my buddy. It was incredible.

696
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: Kennedy still down there, Yes, she is a big manager

697
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: of like a big hotel chain down there. Well, I

698
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 1: highly recommend it. Morgan. You've ever taken a helicopter ride anywhere,

699
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 1: You've ever done a tour around the city. You ever

700
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: been to Costa Rica.

701
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 5: I've never been to Coasta Rica.

702
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:14,800
Speaker 6: I've never been to mel Gibson's house, but I was

703
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 6: in New Zealand, and I took a helicopter ride through

704
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 6: the Fjords and it was amazing and then so you know,

705
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 6: it was and then I also took a small like

706
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 6: prop plane on one of the tours. And I also

707
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 6: travel alone a lot if I'm doing you know, if

708
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 6: I'm touring with an arst or something, and I usually

709
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 6: extend my trip and try to see all that I

710
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 6: can see. And uh, of course, you know, if I'm alone,

711
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 6: and you know, then they put pile a little bit

712
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 6: like you fly it and teach me things. And so

713
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 6: I got to fly the prop plane and he taught

714
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 6: me how to be in the helicopter and all that.

715
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:47,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was amazing.

716
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 6: And then when I was flying over the Fjords, helicopters

717
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 6: and prop planes scare me. But then I thought, like,

718
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 6: if I die, like I'm into like a beautiful fjord.

719
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 1: What a way to go?

720
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, You'll be instantly incinerated and then you're

721
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 2: just will instantly be blown into a beautiful place.

722
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 5: Beautiful place. Yeah, exactly, it's perfect.

723
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: Now you say it like that, Yeah, right, have you

724
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: done helicopter stuff?

725
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 2: I yeah, I think I took like Lauren for like

726
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 2: her first the first time her birthday when we were together,

727
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 2: I got our a helicopter ride around Manhattan.

728
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: Loll gud you go, you don't romantical.

729
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 2: She was excited about it, and that was what led

730
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 2: me to think that it was okay to propose to

731
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 2: her on a hot air balloon.

732
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: And it wasn't because she just shit her pants for

733
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: an hour.

734
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,280
Speaker 5: Hot hotter balloons sounds scary. Yeah, it's a wicker basket

735
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 5: and fire, and yeah.

736
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 1: Yeah it doesn't make sense.

737
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 5: But it doesn't make sense, but yeah, yet we love them.

738
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: Rated one of the top ten places to be up

745
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,600

00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: was the number one delivered item by Uber Eats in

747
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one? The number one?

748
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 2: Oh so it has to be food, right, it's food, Yes,

749
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,200

00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 2: guess you can go specific food. I would say not company.

751
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: Oh, oh, not company, it's just a specific food.

752
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 5: I would say pizza.

753
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: I would say hamburger. This is from mashed dot com.

754
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: This was written by the best in the business, Taylor Wang.

755
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 1: Thank you Taylor. The massive amount of bananas uber Eats

756
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: sold in twenty twenty one. What so this article came

757
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: out in September, so they write about it. In twenty

758
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: twenty one, people were going bananas for bananas, according to

759
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: the third annual Uber Eats Cravings Report, which reveals the

760
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 1: most popular, most unusual in some of the wackiest delivery

761
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: requests of the year. The company is shared that American

762
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 1: spot twenty five thousand, one hundred and fifty pounds of

763
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: bananas in the month of September alone, twenty five thousand

764
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: pounds of bananas Uber Eats in September alone. Aside from

765
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: being the top seller on the app, bananas were also

766
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: the number one selling fruit in the country this year,

767
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 1: beating other grocery store staples as peanut butter and coffee.

768
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: So I don't know how that ties into it, but

769
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,280
Speaker 1: it said it's the number one selling fruit in general,

770
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: and it beat out peanut, butter and coffee. Which isn't

771
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,320
Speaker 1: this crazy? This is so insane?

772
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 5: What like, I have a theory?

773
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, yes, please.

774
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 6: Well, because I kept kept seeing fans posts that when

775
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 6: they would get their orders from Uber eats or instacart,

776
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 6: that they would say, I want six bananas, and they

777
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 6: would guess six punches, and all these funny pictures of

778
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 6: what am I going to do with six bunches? So

779
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 6: they would everyone, everyone I know was getting six seven, eight, nine,

780
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,320
Speaker 6: ten bunches with their grocery delivery.

781
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: That's right. I saw that too. I mean, we have

782
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 1: six individual banana what are they called kurt bunches, fingers? Oh, fingers,

783
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:21,800
Speaker 1: banana fingers, tree dicks.

784
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 5: Like it's like, what is it a constance of bananas? No,

785
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 5: it's a bunch.

786
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 6: And so everyone was like, oh, what do I do?

787
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 6: And that's why everybody, every white person, was making banana bread.

788
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: That's right. And that's a big part of it. Considering

789
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: the popularity of mouthwatering banana recipes, including banana pudding, banana bread,

790
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 1: and cakes, it's no wonder why people still crave this

791
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: childhood favorite fruit. According to the Mayo Clinic, I'm going

792
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: to ask you guys again, the average American eats how

793
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 1: many bananas in a year? The average America?

794
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,800
Speaker 5: Well, I eat about three hundred and sixty.

795
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,760
Speaker 1: Okay, so you're setting the eight. You're setting the average

796
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: very far in one direction, one hundred hundred and twenty ninety,

797
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: which is still a lot.

798
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 5: WHOA, you were close.

799
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I still went over. Well, you get a lot

800
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: of to the Bananas podcast on Instagram mort can, we

801
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 1: get a ton of d ms and people are like,

802
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: love your podcast, hate bananas. Bananas are disgusting, They're mushy.

803
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:21,320
Speaker 5: You're not. They're amazing.

804
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:22,399
Speaker 1: They're pretty good.

805
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 5: So are you one every day? At least?

806
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 1: It's crazy. And also they're virtual, versatile ingredient and smoothies,

807
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: which also people think is part of it. So pandemic's effect,

808
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:38,280
Speaker 1: the Great Cores effect on banana sales was substantial. Also

809
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: in Canada, they're nineteen cents of Trader Joe's. They think

810
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,879
Speaker 1: that's also part of a reason. These things also so big.

811
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 1: It's a lot of food for very cheap. And there

812
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: was also trends such as a TikTok salmon rice bowl

813
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: with magical bananas or something. I don't understand that so

814
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: I looked into this more because I was like, is

815
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,439
Speaker 1: this possibly true? Yeah? On eat this, not that which

816
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:07,280
Speaker 1: is a website. This was by May. Walmart had reported

817
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,720
Speaker 1: overall sales a spike of ten percent just in general,

818
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 1: but their number one selling item at Walmart is bananas.

819
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 1: Walmart number one selling item more than toilet paper, masks

820
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 1: or hand sop last year was bananas.

821
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 2: I somewhat understand only because I and I don't know

822
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 2: if Walmart does this. But when you walk into Target,

823
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 2: the first thing that's there in the front of the

824
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 2: door is a rack of bananas. Yes, yeah, you can

825
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 2: just take singly and it's for kids. It's perfect. Like

826
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 2: you roll in, you're like banana, give them a banana.

827
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 2: They're eating a banana while you shop.

828
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: Yep. So I can understand that if Walmart is doing that,

829
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 1: I understand, but I don't understand. This is crazy. I

830
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 1: know they're CEO Doug mcmillion.

831
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 2: Doug mcmillion, give me a brick, mcm I l l

832
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 2: io n mickmillion.

833
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: Well it doesn't have that second eye, but we're going

834
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 1: to go with it. It could be mcmillion, but it

835
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: McMillan millan. But we're going to mc million.

836
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 6: Yeah.

837
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 1: Veal to Bloomberg in a recent interview that the singamost

838
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: popular item is America's favorite vitamin pac fruit. He says, quote,

839
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:19,280
Speaker 1: we sell billions of bananas, and that they have banana

840
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 1: ripening rooms in Walmart's environmentally controlled distribution centers, which are

841
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 1: designed to keep bananas at ideal ripeness for consumers before

842
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: they hit the shelve. Because it smells really good when

843
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 1: you have bananas ripening in the room. Wow, isn't that crazy?

844
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: I would never I would never have guessed that. I

845
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 1: would have guessed McDonald's for uber eats. I would have

846
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 1: been like a mcdonald' cheeseburger or whatever, spicy chicken sandwich. Boy,

847
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 1: y'all are crazy for bananas. Yeah, we're getting a lot

848
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 1: of cramps America, not cramping. I think the last time

849
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 1: I threw up from do I talk about this last

850
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 1: time I threw up from drinking was people. I was

851
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 1: at a fancy dinner at my friend Ryan's house, and

852
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 1: she's a chef, and we all made dinner and we're

853
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 1: all drinking cocktails and then at some point to switch

854
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: to wine and it kept going. But the last thing

855
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: she made was Banana's flombays in her Brooklyn apartment, and

856
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: so we were eating all these fired up bananas. And

857
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 1: then the next morning I woke up and threw up

858
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: and it was just bananas and it was delightful and

859
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 1: I highly recommend it so greatly. Snack that probably is

860
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: the best thing to throw up. Yeah, yeah, do you

861
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 1: want to hear another story?

862
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 10: Guys?

863
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: I love it? Sure. Here it is.

864
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 2: This twenty five year old puddle has its own Instagram account. Yes, okay,

865
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 2: this is another copy. Heaste one, copy haste two in

866
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 2: one episode. This was published in I don't know, Oh

867
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 2: Oddity Central looks like I think, No, I know it

868
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:02,399
Speaker 2: all the time.

869
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what this is.

870
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 2: Oh design you trust? I don't know if that's a

871
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:10,720
Speaker 2: trustable website. But I've seen photographs of the puddle.

872
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: Here it is.

873
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 2: This is written by no One. A giant puddle in

874
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:20,399
Speaker 2: Russia's far east city of Yuzhnok is being described as

875
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 2: invincible after it somehow survived unfixed for over a quarter

876
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 2: of a century. It now has its own Instagram page

877
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 2: and over sixteen thousand followers. As it often happens in

878
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 2: Russia and other Eastern European countries. What started out as

879
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 2: a small pothole gradually grew to become a giant puddle.

880
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 2: It attained that rank in nineteen ninety four, and locals

881
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 2: have been trying to get local authorities to fix it

882
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 2: ever since. So far, it has proven a few tile endeavors.

883
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 2: Schedule repairs have been postponed repeatedly. In the meantime, a

884
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 2: frustrated local known only as Nikolai decided that the twenty

885
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 2: five year old pothole was old enough to have its

886
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 2: own Instagram page and created one for it in September.

887
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 2: The witty, sarcastic posts created and first person quickly went

888
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 2: viral and got the local government to act. Quote, Hi everyone,

889
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 2: I'm the puddle nearuka Skaya Street. Usual no Ska Kolinski.

890
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 2: I've just turned twenty five. It's time to conquer Instagram

891
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 2: like a grown up. The puddle's first Instagram post read

892
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 2: it was a good start, but only the first in

893
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 2: a series of hilarious posts. It would take the social

894
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 2: network and local authorities by storm. There are so many

895
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 2: things that the puddle is doing. There's women paddleboarding in

896
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:39,799
Speaker 2: the puddle. The puddle is very big.

897
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: This is a street.

898
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 2: It just has a is this the puddle is probably

899
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 2: about one hundred feet long and like twenty five feet wide.

900
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 2: It's the it's the pothole has now taken over the

901
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 2: entire street. But cars are like still parked in it

902
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 2: and stuff like that, and they kept trying to fix it,

903
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 2: and it just keeps coming back, and then when it

904
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 2: rains it's essentially flooded, completely flattered away.

905
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 5: How big do you have to get to no longer

906
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:10,800
Speaker 5: be called a puddle?

907
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 6: Like it seems like it would graduate into a more

908
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 6: substantial natural place for water.

909
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 2: I feel like if as long as it's in a street,

910
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 2: it's a puddle. I think that's the definition of a puddle.

911
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 2: If it's if it's part of the street, and that

912
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 2: is what it is. It goes street puddle street again

913
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 2: A fun Yeah, so fun. I don't want them to

914
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 2: fix it now, No, let it live. Let the puddle

915
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 2: live exactly.

916
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: People still live there, so it's not like people are

917
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 1: just like high town on it out of there to

918
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 1: be like a I can't take this puddle anymore. Like

919
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 1: now now it's a place, like I want to go

920
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 1: see this puddle.

921
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 5: This clearly they can survived. Yeah, it's a part of

922
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 5: their community.

923
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 1: Really a little sailboat in it. That sounds fun to me.

924
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 4: Exactly.

925
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:00,320
Speaker 1: There's a pond behind or I guess was like a

926
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 1: pond to a lake behind our house in college that

927
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 1: we swam in for three summers. And then my friend said,

928
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:09,320
Speaker 1: how deep do you think this is? And I was like,

929
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 1: probably like twenty five feet or thirty feet. We were

930
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: out in the middle just treading water. He's like really.

931
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:15,359
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I mean we're in the middle

932
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 1: of a lake. It's gotta be deep. And he just

933
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: held his breath and dove down and then came right

934
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 1: back up, and then he just stood up. It was

935
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: five feet deep, so for he assumed, I mean, we're

936
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 1: diving in this thing. It was crazy. And then my

937
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 1: buddy John just stood up and his full head was

938
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 1: out of the water. And then we all just put

939
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 1: our feet down and we were like, oh, we didn't

940
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 1: need to tread water at all. We're It was amazing.

941
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,279
Speaker 6: We had a pond growing up in my backyard that

942
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:43,760
Speaker 6: my dad made, you know, in California, and he would

943
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 6: just go to the feed store every few days and

944
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:46,800
Speaker 6: just get more animals for it.

945
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 5: Crawdads and turtles, and he's like, do you have anything

946
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 5: that nobody wants, like a rusted you know, like something.

947
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 6: And he would just bring animals and that's how we

948
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 6: ended up having a goose in like Suburbia. He just

949
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 6: had Frank the goose for a while and and he

950
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 6: would just go to the feed store and come home like,

951
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 6: you know, with his hands clutched with a new animal,

952
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:08,319
Speaker 6: you know, crawdads and all this stuff. And we had

953
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:09,800
Speaker 6: a pool on the other side of the house, like

954
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 6: all Californians have a pool. And one of the turtles

955
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,319
Speaker 6: liked just did not want to live in the pond

956
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 6: and kept trying to commit suicide and go to the

957
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 6: to the pool. And every day we'd go and he'd

958
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 6: be out there and he did not want to live

959
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 6: in the pond. Yeah, so we were trying to keep

960
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:26,320
Speaker 6: all the ecosystems running, you know.

961
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 5: But yeah, the pond. The pond was great. He always

962
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 5: that was like my dad's little hobby was keeping a

963
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 5: great pond.

964
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 1: You know, they're cool.

965
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:34,479
Speaker 5: I like that great.

966
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 1: My grandparents had a coy pond in a greenhouse, so

967
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 1: it was attached to their house and I fell in

968
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 1: it twice, so I was never allowed in that room

969
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:43,800
Speaker 1: again because when I was a little kid, I just

970
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: guess I was mesmerized by these fish and would go

971
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: headfirst into it. But I've always wanted to build something.

972
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 1: I've always wanted a tree in my house, like a

973
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 1: tree to go right through the entire house. Yes, and

974
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:59,479
Speaker 1: some type of like pond fish pond in the house,

975
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 1: but you know, I'll probably get legionnaires to seize or something.

976
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 2: I remember wanting to go have a rope swing for

977
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 2: my entire childhood, like to find a rope swing somewhere

978
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:15,240
Speaker 2: in the woods. And one day I was like riding

979
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 2: my bike and right off the road, like just right

980
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 2: off the road, I found on kind of its kind

981
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:23,239
Speaker 2: of steep embankment, someone had put up a rope swing

982
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 2: and it was into a very very small amount of

983
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 2: water that was kind of you could would call it

984
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 2: a creek kind of, or we would.

985
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:35,760
Speaker 1: Call it a creek, Yeah, exactly.

986
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 5: Is a small creek.

987
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, a creek is like a smaller creek. A creek

988
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:43,360
Speaker 2: is kind of like a bigger thing. The creek is

989
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,319
Speaker 2: just like where are you from?

990
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 5: Where are you from?

991
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:49,359
Speaker 2: I'm from New Jersey, but I pick up words from

992
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:54,359
Speaker 2: kind of all over all, right, and so we would

993
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 2: swing into it.

994
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:56,959
Speaker 1: It was about.

995
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:02,240
Speaker 2: Three feet deep, so you would have to like land

996
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 2: and like scrunch up so you didn't like hurt yourself

997
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 2: on the bottom. And it was like a pretty deep

998
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 2: It was a pretty like steep drop, you know, because

999
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:14,359
Speaker 2: you're on the side of a hill. And I went back, uh,

1000
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,320
Speaker 2: like years later, I think when I was in college,

1001
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 2: and I went back and I realized what we had

1002
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 2: been doing. What it is is it's right next to

1003
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 2: this army base called e Com Evans, And it was

1004
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 2: the runoff from Ecoves that literally just came out of

1005
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:37,239
Speaker 2: a metal tube in the side of the hill and

1006
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 2: that's splashed down here. And that is what we had

1007
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 2: been swimming in. My whole childhood was jumping into just

1008
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 2: the the spill of whatever his.

1009
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:53,400
Speaker 1: Water Army backwash, yo, backwad.

1010
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:54,479
Speaker 10: God.

1011
00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 1: But I did find an eel swimming in there, so

1012
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 1: life can. Yeah, you're very tall, you have a head

1013
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:04,359
Speaker 1: of hair. I don't see what's going wrong here.

1014
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 4: There you go.

1015
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 1: You got it going on, all right. Give us one

1016
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 1: last to send us homes. There's a fun one. New

1017
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 1: study names ten smelliest states in the USA. Oh this

1018
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: is on the Hill dot Com, written by When it

1019
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: comes to smelly states, you're not going to get any

1020
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 1: better than Christian Spencer.

1021
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 4: Mm.

1022
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:30,879
Speaker 1: The smelliest state in the United States goes to Oh wow,

1023
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:32,759
Speaker 1: can we take gases? Of course you may.

1024
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 5: Does it mean the people or the state it self?

1025
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 5: Like when you drive into it it smells bad, it.

1026
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 1: Means that's a great thing. It's a recent nationwide state

1027
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 1: that rates the states from freshest air to smelliest air.

1028
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 1: So I guess it means air. I guess means air quality,

1029
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:51,719
Speaker 1: the scent of the actual air of the state.

1030
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to say, and only because of Newark

1031
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:57,840
Speaker 2: that it may be interest Yeah.

1032
00:53:58,400 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 5: I was going to say.

1033
00:53:59,920 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 1: It breaks my heart to tell you that the smelly

1034
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:10,319
Speaker 1: estate in the United States goes to Maryland. Oh oh,

1035
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 1: for the it's because of Purdue, a state best known

1036
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:18,960
Speaker 1: for its fishing production, especially when it comes to crabs.

1037
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:24,880
Speaker 1: Recent nationwide study number one on the countdown was Maryland.

1038
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 1: Taking into consideration air quality, the trash or percentages of

1039
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: landfills in each state population density. Here's a good one

1040
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 1: dental health to determine each state's bad breath bar.

1041
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:40,760
Speaker 4: Wow.

1042
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 1: Maryland outweighs, it should say, like out smells or outstinks

1043
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:49,120
Speaker 1: its competition. Here are the other remaining states surrounding its

1044
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 1: top ten in order. So number one's Maryland, Number two California,

1045
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:58,880
Speaker 1: What Florida, Delaware, mass Florida, I guess, yeah, yeah, you

1046
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 1: get that Bay mud and in Florida. Here, uh Massachusetts, Alabama,

1047
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 1: New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Mississippi.

1048
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:09,799
Speaker 5: Uh oh, Mississippi for sure.

1049
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 1: I'm happy that.

1050
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:13,319
Speaker 2: I'm happy that New Jersey's not in the top five.

1051
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 2: That gives me state pride.

1052
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:15,839
Speaker 1: That's right.

1053
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 5: Uh.

1054
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:19,400
Speaker 1: Maryland being the stinkiest state came to a surprise to some,

1055
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 1: but one radio DJ thinks he knows why Maryland stinks

1056
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:27,120
Speaker 1: so bad. He says, it's all the crabs. We get

1057
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 1: it to the study. The two happy they quoted him,

1058
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 1: Yeah for one six point seven the fan and then

1059
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 1: the least the freshest smelling were North and South Dakota

1060
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 1: are the two least smelling states. But nobody lives there,

1061
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 1: No one goes.

1062
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:46,480
Speaker 5: There, no one goes there. It's kind of nothing's happening

1063
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 5: that would ever make it smell.

1064
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:51,400
Speaker 1: Just the bison. Yeah, I don't know. I went to

1065
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:53,880
Speaker 1: wall Drug and I saw some I was glad. I
