It is my My 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:28.400 garage maintains a deathly coldness. Uh ten degrees colder than outside. 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:30.800 I don't know how or why it does it. 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:31.959 So I am. 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:34.160 Yes, I'm very bundled, but you know what, I'm gonna 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:36.400 get warmed up and I'm gonna probably take this jacket off. 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:39.520 I bet you will. That reminds me. We got a message. 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:41.480 We had a message gim to us a while ago. 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:45.679 Let me find it real quick. Sadie Rain sent this 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:49.480 message in said Alaskan bananimal here. Heck yeah, come do 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.000 a show in Alaska. If you come in the winter, 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:55.960 go to Homer or sold in Soldotna. 0:01:56.600 --> 0:02:01.600 I've never perform in Homer. 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:05.120 No. One just said it'll be colder than anything you've 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:08.440 ever experienced, but it's much more your vibe, and the 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:10.720 locals will be wearing sweatshirts. 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:14.040 That is true. I remember I did. I did some 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:19.040 shows in Fairbanks, and then part of the deal was 0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:21.520 that we would drive out to this town that was 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.799 just a military base. It was essentially that's all there 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:26.560 was in the town was a military base. It was 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:28.400 about like an hour and a half for two hours 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:33.040 away from Fairbanks, and the whole town was like a 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:37.600 grocery store, a gas station, and one bar restaurant. And 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.520 the bar restaurant was where the show was at. And 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:43.519 it was it was October in Alaska. 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:45.360 It was very cold. 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:50.440 I had a winter jacket on and everyone was outside 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:54.680 in T shirts and everyone was calling me a whimp 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:56.400 for having my winter jacket. 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:59.640 Mark please well in la when it's sixty five, people 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.240 are in a snow hat and a jacket. I went 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:05.680 out in a T shirt and jeans just to grab 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.240 some coffee the other morning, and I was the only 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:11.120 person wearing a T shirt and people were full winter 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:14.040 apparel and it was sixty degrees out. But you just 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:14.920 get used to it. 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:18.760 It's fun. It's fun to because it's like, really, people 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:22.600 in La they're like, coseplay winter, you know, sixty degrees 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.280 They put all their stuff on there like here we are, 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:26.080 it's winter. 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.320 Really true. It's so funny because I think a lot 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:33.640 of people have this idea of New England. Like a 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:35.880 lot of women friends of mine are like, you went 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:37.960 to school mass Jusetts. I'm like, I sure did, and 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:39.760 they're like, oh, I've always wanted to go to Boston. 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:42.840 And then it almost always comes back to they just 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:46.200 really want to wear their sort of fallen winter coats 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.800 and clothing. It has nothing to do with the culture 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:50.600 of the city. It's absolutely has to do with the 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.240 wardrobe that you can wear when the leaves are changing 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.520 colors and a light just a light flurry is falling. 0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:02.800 I think my favorite artarticle of clothing to purchase is 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:06.720 a light jacket. I will look at light jackets online 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:09.960 four hours. Do I ever buy them? I do not 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.120 know because I'm always like, I have a jacket already. 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:18.839 I can't justify I have like probably two like light jackets, 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:22.000 and I can't, but I want so many more light jackets. 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:26.520 Apparently, my dad for like thirty years, while working in 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.800 Baltimore in an office building, when fall would hit, he 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:33.520 would tell somebody in the office the same joke every year. 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:35.240 And you would say, did you hear somebody jumped out 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:38.200 of the building, the Lake Mason building or whatever, and 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:40.279 everybody go, oh, my god, no, and my dad would say, 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:43.120 it's okay, though they were wearing a light fall jacket. 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:48.680 A light fall, I mean, like so light fall, you know, 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:53.480 it's so almost doesn't work, but for. 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:58.240 Office comedy that it's a standing ovation for water cooler jokes. Oh, 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:02.040 it's okay. He was wearing his light fall jacket. That's 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:04.320 where I get it from. That's why I just keep 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:09.919 cranking out script after script, baby, But yes, thank you 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.200 for sending that in. We will one day do an 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:15.400 Alaska show. It is a Banana's Live will come to Alaska. 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:17.279 But I'm going to tell you right now. It's gonna 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:20.159 be smack dab in the middle of summer, probably July fourth. 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:24.080 Yeah, it would be nice if it was a NonStop sunlight. 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:28.279 While I either want NonStop sunlight or I want total 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.880 darkness the whole time. I want to experience that once in. 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.599 My life extreme. You're a man of extremes, you know, 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:35.039 I am. 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:40.160 I remember writing it by my journal as a fourteen 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:40.640 year old. 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:41.760 Oh boy, if. 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:47.720 You don't experience the extremes, how will you know where 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:48.479 the middle is? 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:52.320 That's great? Also now I usually. 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:58.560 I mean fourteen, I see I just see the doors 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:01.359 the movie, and I'll was like, that's me. 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:05.160 And having known you through a lot of your adult life, 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:07.760 I feel like you did go for the extremes, and 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:12.320 you know you are happily in that middle. You function 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:13.920 in the middle. 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:18.680 I am my dad. I could function very well. Yeah, 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:22.560 in pretty much anywhere in America at this point, I could. 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:24.040 I'm just right down the middle. 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:26.799 I think there's a coffee table book, there's a toilet 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:30.440 a toilet table book. There's an urban outfitters book in there. 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:34.240 If you could just get comedians who are successful to 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:38.640 give everybody gives like five journal entries from when they 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:40.480 were in middle school or high school, and you just 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:44.479 compile it and then I mean, you start with that 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.919 quote right there, and you just had caught something extreme 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:52.480 journaling our way to the middle. But I think people 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:56.360 would read that. There was that came out ten god, 0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:59.400 maybe like fifteen years ago called The Things I've Learned 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:01.400 from the Women Who Dump Me. I think that's what 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:03.560 it was called. Of that book. It was all comics 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:06.560 and they would write an essay about somebody who broke 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:09.440 up with them and what happened the relationship itself, and 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.000 what they learned from it. I always thought that was 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:13.080 such a good idea for like a just pick it 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:13.920 up and read a book. 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:16.640 Oh it's a great idea. That's a fantastic idea. 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:21.240 But yours is even more interesting because comedians are so 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.360 everybody thinks they're dark and they're you know, they're come 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.240 from a place of hurt and a lot do but 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:29.640 a lot don't. They're just really sensitive people who are 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:30.480 very aware. 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:34.720 Yes, I agree one hundred percent with that. I think 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.160 it's a very sense and that is why it's very 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:44.040 It is funny to meet comedians now who are like 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:48.840 somewhat edge lords that we know. Oh yeah, that are 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:52.720 the like the majority, Like so many of them are 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:58.440 like little puddle kitty cats emotionally in person, they're just like, 0:07:58.840 --> 0:07:59.560 how are you? 0:07:59.680 --> 0:07:59.880 Man? 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:03.640 I miss you so much? Man, I love your kids. 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:05.720 They're so and you're just like, what is going on? 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:10.200 You go on stage and you say horrible things? Horrible things? 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:14.400 Yes, Megan Gaily are our good dear friend, and multiple 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:16.640 guests and multiple time guests on the pod said to 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.240 me recently over beer, she goes, the people who are 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:21.560 the meanest on stage are the sweetest off stage, and 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:23.520 the people who are the sweetest and most jovial on 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:26.360 stage are often the meanest off stage. Yes, I would 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:30.280 say that you maybe buck that trend, but your last 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:33.240 special was a little edgier, so maybe you're you're finding 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:34.760 that middle, that extreme middle. 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.120 This episode is going to be called extreme Middles. 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:42.560 Yeah, the extreme middle. Welcome to the extreme. 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:46.760 She is not wrong. I agree with that. How are you? 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:47.560 What's going on with you? 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.720 Palm? I'm great? Let me think if I have any 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:57.240 cool and interesting updates, not extremely The one big update, 0:08:57.360 --> 0:08:59.000 well not even update, just a fun thing is for 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:02.800 the first time in my adult life, my family's coming 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:07.760 to me for the holiday for Christmas. I'm very excited 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:11.600 to host, and I'm very excited to just not have 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.880 to deal with holiday travel. Also, every year, you know, 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.000 doing this show now for the last four years, it's 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:19.240 like we get so many news stories and every year 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:22.480 somebody sends some version of this. But every single holiday 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:27.360 season they say record breaking travel, record breaking travelers say 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:28.960 that how is this possible? 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:32.240 How is it possible? They're like, they're also like the 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:36.559 birth rate is down, record breaking travel. Who Who's who? 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:37.720 Extra is traveling? 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:45.400 Who? Let's get into some ghosty stuff. I like to 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:49.040 talk ghosts. Our good friend Roz Hernandez loves to talk ghosts. 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:52.360 So this was I found this online. It was just 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:55.240 you know, the old Instagram algorithm send it to me. 0:09:56.280 --> 0:10:02.520 This dude, Jason K. Pargin online he did like just 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:04.400 like a video about this, and then I found an 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:09.560 article about it. And this is phantasmagoria the birth of 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:14.040 the floating ghost. So this is specifically in you know, 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:18.319 Mysterious Times, Scott, how often are you reading Mysterious Times. 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.120 The real mystery is when I'm not reading there, it 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:24.440 is I wake up put on my oculous rift scan 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:27.600 until I get to mysterious times and then just zone 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:31.120 out for sometimes weeks at a time. Uh. 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:39.720 This was written by uh Kirs Mason de Raven. Oh yes, okay, 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:43.200 I'm starting to question the validity of this story, but 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:47.560 let's go for it. Kirsed Mason de Raven. Oh, man, 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:53.840 it's d apostrophe Raven. It's a great name, kirst de Raven. 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:58.480 So this is I'm getting some of these information. But 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.000 here here, this is like the kind of sub it is. 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:06.640 January seventeen ninety nine at TN Gaspard Robert we debuts 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:11.360 his Phantasmagoria in a ruined abbey in Paris. Little does 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.920 he know he is about to become the trendsetter of 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:18.240 the way ghosts are poor trade. So this is totally fascinating. 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:21.360 Oh yeah, so you know, like in the video that 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.040 I originally saw, it's like an image of the ghosts 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:28.600 from the opening scene of the original ghostbusterat scene right 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:32.800 where she's floating in a library in the Library of Congress. 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:38.320 And what he's explaining is basically like ghosts didn't look 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:43.720 like this until the mid eighteen hundreds. Before this, ghosts 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:50.000 were always depicted as being physical beings. They were never translucent, 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:52.920 They were never floating that you could never put your 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:58.360 hand through them. They were actual physical bodies that would 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:01.520 like bump into you and like knock you over, or 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:03.840 they would close a door. They would either be visible 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:07.120 or they'd be physical bodies. And then now since like 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:11.000 the mid eighteen hundreds, we now only see ghosts as 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:11.959 this type. 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:14.119 Of floating you know, yeah, it makes you wonder. 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:17.920 And so it was, and it's really comes from technology. 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:21.040 So there was this technological innovation in seventeen ninety nine 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:25.200 called it was a projector that would project an image 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:29.160 on a wall. And obviously the and the main thing 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:33.680 that they would show with these images is like ghostly things. 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:38.160 And since it always was on the wall, the image 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:41.000 never went to the ground, it always appeared as if 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:45.160 the image was floating. So and because it was like 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:49.679 you know, seventeen ninety nine technology, the light was pretty 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:55.000 diffuse and so it was very translucent. But people would 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:56.880 come and get freaked out because it would just be 0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:01.040 like these pictures because you know, with photography, fee first off, 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:05.160 it started off with the phantasmagoria and then once photography 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:08.319 started really kicking in, you know, you had to stand 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.520 still for so long, and that's why people never smiled 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:14.079 and photographs back in the day, because you had to 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:15.240 hold it for like eight minutes. 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:18.199 And if you no toilets, they had no modern plumbing either. 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.600 They were just staring dead down the barrel of that camp. 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:22.880 They were going, They're. 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:29.160 Going, I wish Instagram existed. Oh, but if you got 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:32.160 up like two minutes into your photo session, you would 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:36.040 leave this like translucent image behind and so then people 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:40.080 would be you know, purposefully doing this, you know, dressed 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:42.520 up in like kind of like crazy masks and stuff 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:44.920 like that, and then people would be selling them as 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:48.600 pictures of ghosts. Great, and just because of those two 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:53.400 technological innovations, that is why we now only see ghosts 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:55.360 the way we see ghosts, and that is even to 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:58.160 the point where people are like, I saw a ghost, 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:00.000 this is what it looked like, and then they just 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:03.280 describe something that was invented in seventeen ninety nine, which 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:04.600 is very very interesting. 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:09.200 Yes, that is interesting because I think that obviously the 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:12.320 human mind is a storytelling brain. 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:13.320 It's our main thing. 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:15.720 Yeah, the main thing is we try to make sense 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:19.600 of the world through stories. And it's not surprising at 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:22.280 all to me that when the suggestion was given to 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:25.920 the masses, that that's what everybody pictures and everybody says 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:26.440 they saw. 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:28.800 And do you read Sapiens? 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:31.400 I did read Sapiens. 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:34.760 Yeah, that is if anybody is interested in a not 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:36.000 a quick. 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:38.600 Easy read. No, it's a dense read. 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:41.240 But honestly, you don't have to actually read it. I'll 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:44.600 just tell you what the whole thousand page book is about. 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:46.360 Yes, it's just about. 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:51.480 Everything in like the reason humans became what they are 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:57.360 and our evolution evolutionary advantage was just our ability to 0:14:57.400 --> 0:14:59.680 tell stories. And if you think about it, every single 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:04.040 thing in our world is a story that we have invented. 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:07.840 From money to government, to love to science, everything is 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:09.080 just America. 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:13.280 Columbus, George Washington. I cannot tell a lie, the shootout 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:16.120 of the Okay Corral never you know, all those things, Like, 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:21.080 it's amazing how many stories that we all just assume 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:21.600 are true. 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:25.840 Most of history, most of history that we've been taught 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:27.920 is just a story someone made up. 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:32.040 Yeah, if it rhymes, you're really really gonna kick. Yeah, 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:35.280 you're in. If you can make history that rhymes, you're 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:39.480 gonna be like typic Canoe and Taylor two, you're in forever. 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:42.480 I don't even know what that is. 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:46.880 Nobody does. Nobody does. I know. It must be weird 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:51.560 for historians, true historians, to watch people just change history 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:53.400 based on opinion and to be like, but that's not 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:54.960 how it happened. And then you're like, well, you're just 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:58.040 going to accept it because the majority says this is 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:01.080 how it was. And then that story. I'm sure I 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:05.560 told this. I was down at down at Laguna friend 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:07.960 of mine, my friend Martha, was doing a play at 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:12.040 the Laguna Playhouse. It's like a really nice theater down there, 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:15.040 and it's one of those places where there's the older 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:18.360 folks go, so like if you go on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday, 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:20.920 Sunday matinee, it's packed and people are going to go 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:27.600 see And she was in what was the play? It 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:29.920 was the Graduate. She was doing the Graduate, And so 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:32.520 I thought I was going to hit nine hours of traffic, 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:34.480 of course, because I had to travel upwards of forty 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:37.720 miles in southern California, and instead I got there so 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:39.640 fast that I was like, oh, i'll kill some time 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:42.400 at a bar. And I go to this bar that's 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:45.400 like on the cliffs above Laguna Beach, and it was 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:47.360 who a bunch of older folks, and the bartender was 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:50.120 really good sun shining and I'm having a cocktail or two. 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:53.040 And this will date it a little bit too. This 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:56.720 woman goes to the bartender, have you seen Game of 0:16:56.800 --> 0:17:00.120 Thrones yet? And the guy's like, no, no, no, I 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:02.440 haven't seen that yet. Like I heard. It's crazy though. 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:05.919 It's got like dragons and stuff and castles and like 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:09.040 brothers and sisters having sex. And the woman goes, well, 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:11.520 that's how it was back then, and then just high 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:13.480 five to her friend and stumbled out of the bar. 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:20.720 Just a historical recreation game of throws it was. That's 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:24.520 just how it was back then. Just dragons and brothers 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:25.720 and sisters. 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:28.159 And a night that lasts one hundred years. That's how 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:29.160 it was back then. 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:32.199 There's a giant wall, it was the undead. That's just 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:34.639 how it goes. And then just walks out like we 0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:36.680 all put up. She gives us a couple of high fives, 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:41.080 just just a nice sixty year old, probably thrice divorced woman, 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:43.280 just letting us know how. 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:47.439 He's living her best life. And Laguna Beach going to 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.080 a bar in the afternoon. 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:52.200 Oh man, nothing else to do. 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:53.400 Gorgeous. 0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:55.040 It is nothing else gorgeous. 0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:57.920 What a nice air. My sister lives in right next 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:00.760 door to Laguna Beach, and it is. It's a delight. 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:02.160 It's a delight down there. 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:04.640 One of the best bars in southern California is called 0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:08.080 Turks and it's indanea Point and it's on the Marina. 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:11.480 And I think the guy that owned it or started 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:15.440 that bar was named Turk and I he was Hercules 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.199 and a few movies in Hollywood and early Hollywood is 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:20.320 like a strong guy, but like strong guys back then, 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:22.399 they were strong, but they were kind of big and soft. 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:24.800 Like now they're all the rock and all that. They 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:28.320 all look like walnuts stuffed in stockings and it's different. 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:32.879 And Turks is I went there the first time.
