00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Hey Scottie, Hey KURTI b oh. I've been sitting on

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: this one for a while. I'm pretty excited about it.

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 1: Not only does it have a title, but it also

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: has a pull quote right after the title, A men,

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: here comes Instagrammers are swarming this turquoise lake. It's actually

6
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: a toxic dump. We asked that in the pursuit of

7
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: the selfie not to fall into the ash dump.

8
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 2: So I'm taking it to a Russian story or the

9
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 2: worst Italian opset I've ever heard. Let's get into a

10
00:00:37,840 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: little toxic swimming on a very swirly episode of Bananas.

11
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: Guys Dole's non Binary Pals. Welcome to the silliest little

12
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: podcast there ever once was It's Bananas, that's Scottie Landis.

13
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: That's my favorite comic, Kurt Brown Owler. We are on

14
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: the exactly right networking. No, you come for the murder,

15
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: you stay for the Banana boys, and that's what we're

16
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: all about.

17
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: I am, I am currently very wet. I am I'm

18
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: trying a new thing. Yeah, always trying a new thing. Yeah,

19
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: it was it was like I had essentially, I was

20
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: like I finished walking the dog. We're recording at three pm.

21
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: Finished the walking dog at like two seventeen, and I

22
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: was like, can I work out before bananas? Yeah? And

23
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: so I got this thing called a rebounder many years ago,

24
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: which is a trampoline. It's a tiny trampoline, but they

25
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: call it a rebounder. It's very cute. And uh, I

26
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: used it once and then never use it again. And

27
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: then but then my wife started using it and she's like,

28
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: it's a really great workout. You just put like a

29
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: YouTube video on or whatever and bounce on a preaking trampoline.

30
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: Jump around. That's fun.

31
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: And so yeah, I just did that for twenty minutes. Uh,

32
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: and I'm soaking wet, and so let's see. Let's see

33
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: if it if I'm juiced up. If I'm juiced up

34
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: for this.

35
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: Pod, now, I bet you are. I mean you're you're

36
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 2: definitely damp. We can definitely say you're damp. A remember

37
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 2: in like the late eighties, definitely in the nineties, maybe

38
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: even in the early two thousands, and some magazines there

39
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: would be this exercise thing and it would be like

40
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 2: get a full workout in nine minutes, but it was

41
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 2: like a chair and it had all these levers.

42
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: And no, I don't remember the chair Oh it was crazy.

43
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 2: It looked like a wheelchair was attached to like Chitty

44
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 2: Chitty Bang Bang, and I like it was like you

45
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 2: get the full body and nine, I gotta find this thing.

46
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: It was pre Nordic track insanity. But I bet I

47
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: can find one on Craigslist for like ten I bet

48
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 2: I can find one for free, just like, get this

49
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: monstrosity out of my garbage.

50
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: I love that. I used to. I used to have

51
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: like an app on my phone that was seven minute workouts,

52
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: and then I would just try and do it every

53
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: day and it was, you know, it's still just seven minutes.

54
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: I found. I didn't lose any weight or anything like that.

55
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: I just was just really tired after seven minutes and

56
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: that was it. But I only still worked out for

57
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: seven minutes.

58
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: So I, for one, am proud of you. You put

59
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: the time in. Now you're ready to do.

60
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: Bananas podcast? How are you?

61
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: I'm so great? So we posted the story this will

62
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: probably be two weeks ago. The woman who was breastfeeding

63
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: the cat, Yeah, Dell Caroline's flight. Yes, she was sitting there.

64
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: She was breastfeeding a cat. If you don't and the

65
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: reason I bring this up is follow our Instagram The

66
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: Bananas Podcast on Instagram. We cover a lot of stories

67
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 2: on there that we don't talk about. Basically, anything we

68
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 2: put on there we don't talk about in the podcast. Yes,

69
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: that one got a huge reaction, but I just thought

70
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: we should dedicate today's episode a solo EPI with you

71
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 2: and me to flight attendants and pilots, Yes, airplane airline

72
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: employees who have had to deal with two of the

73
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 2: weirdest years of people being the most confusing butt heads

74
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 2: of all time.

75
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, no kidding. And we had a bananimal who is

76
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: actually a red coat for Delta, Yes, and they emailed

77
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: in or DMed in and actually got like a screen

78
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: grab of because they know the red coat who had

79
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: gotten called for the for that Delta incident. And they

80
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: said it has happened more than once. This is not

81
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: the first time someone has tried to breastfeed a kitten,

82
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: and there is I almost did a story. I almost

83
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: did a story like a couple months ago, which was

84
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: do not breastfeed your cat. And it has and there's

85
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: like full articles that don't breastfeed cats because it's human

86
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: breast milk and it's very bad for cats. Yeah, don't

87
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: do it. I don't know why people are trying to

88
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: breastfeed cats. It seems insane to me. I've watched my

89
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: wife breastfeed two children. Yeah, or attempt to, and they

90
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: don't have teeth, and it still is an awful experience.

91
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: Cats have very sharp teeth and little things on their fingertips.

92
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 2: Little knives on their paws. Yeah, I mean, guys, leave

93
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: the cats alone. You don't do it, especially not on

94
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 2: an airline. And the reason I thought that story was

95
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,679
Speaker 2: so insane is they asked the woman to stop.

96
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: Not only she refused, she said, I'm trying to get

97
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: it to stop screaming.

98
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 2: Oh, maybe it's normal.

99
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: Screaming because you're shoving your breast into its mouth.

100
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 2: Thank you. Nobody's talking about except them Banana boys.

101
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:56,400

Speaker 1: in the boom. I'll give you that that headline again.

129
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: Instagrammers are swarming this turquoise lake. It's actually a toxic

130
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: dump great and there is an we will post a

131
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: photo of this. It is. It's gorgeous. Absolutely, it is

132
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: a blue that is slightly more turned up than a

133
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: than a Lake Tahoe, slightly more turned up than a Bahamas.

134
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: It is beautiful and there's a guy wearing a Tommy

135
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: Jean's shirt posing with his muscles. I love this here.

136
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: A turquoise lake in Siberia has become a sparkling background

137
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: for Instagram photos, drawing so many people that a nearby

138
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: coal plant operator had to issue a warning. It's not

139
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: a pristine oasis. It's a chemical dump. You cannot swim

140
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: the ash dump, the Siberian Generating Company said in a

141
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: statement after its artificial lake became a quote star of

142
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: social networks. Yeah, that, of course hasn't stopped people from

143
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: treking to the lake that some have dubbed the Nova

144
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: Sibirskmull Dives for its tropical appearance.

145
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't been dubbing it that.

146
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: So some show up in swimsuits. One couple took wedding

147
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: pictures there, and at least a handful have ventured into

148
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: the dream like but toxic waters on paddle boards or

149
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: pool floats. Officially, the Siberian Generating Company refers to the

150
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: turquoise body of water as the waste site for heating

151
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: and electrical station number five. The water's not poisonous, the

152
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: company's stressed and its statement on June tenth, but it

153
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: noted that skin contact with such water may cause an

154
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: allergic reaction. I bet it does a little more than that. Yeah,

155
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: uh it also Yeah, allergic reaction in Siberia can mean

156
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: hand falls off.

157
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 2: That's correct.

158
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: It also tried to dispel other false rumors, including that

Speaker 1: plants are dying near the water, that the blue that

Speaker 2: in Atlanta, I worked for Red Bull and one of

180
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 2: my one of my co workers on the Mobile Energy Team,

181
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 2: the MET team, was this dude named Yuri who was

182
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: I guess first gen Russian American, but didn't was it

183
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,120

00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 2: were working together, So they would send us out to

185
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,200

Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the steer vagin. We were in the Steerwagin.

190
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: It's the steer steerwogin.

191
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 2: We probably was a Ford Explorer truck bed thing and

192
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 2: had about twelve dozen cases of Red Bull in the back,

193
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 2: a ton of ice.

194
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: You would almost would imagine you would to call it

195
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: the bulls swagon. Do you know what I mean? Like that?

196
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: The steerwagin is really not a good version of it.

197
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, but then you know they made it. They

198
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 2: created the energy drink, so way downdune, I don't know.

199
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 2: I mean, they're the smarties. But so I'm like pulling

200
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 2: up and it's all these North Georgia boys and they're

201
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,120

Speaker 1: What is it like? Walk over?

206
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 2: And so all day long, I'm just yelling at these guys.

00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 2: I'm like laying into a Southern accent, but it's like really,

Speaker 2: just he pulls up. The window is cracked about two inches,

215
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: so it's not even all the way down. I can

216
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 2: kind of understand what he's saying inside the steer vagin

217
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 2: and he pulls up to these guys that are just

218
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:26,080

00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: They were like it was like we were attacking them

225
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 2: with the steer. Vagan and I would just jump out

226

227
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,040

00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: Take right. It seemed like.

00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 2: say hey guys, can I talk to you for a second.

234
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 2: Start with something easy, But instead it was like hot drink.

235
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: Cold day, cold men want a hot drink.

236
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,120

00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 2: You're like, you're blowing it, Bud, You're blowing it. I

238
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: was like doing it. It was like watching It was

239
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 2: like Syra No to Bergerac I'm like behind him speaking redneck,

240
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:25,920

00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: I know this stuff that's so fun. Oh, I love you, Yury.

243
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: I uh speaking of jumping into toxic waterways. That has

244
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 1: been a hobby of mine for a very long time.

245
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 2: Intentionally yeah, yeah, yeah, I was giving you an out.

246
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: Nope, intentionally jumping in It's I don't know. There was like,

247
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: you know, I was obsessed with psychogeography back in the

248
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: early two thousands, and we would always do these long walks,

249
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: these twenty four hour long walks around different cities called

250
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: the twenty four hour road Trip, and I would end

251
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 1: each one by jumping into some like some city waterway

252
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: that everyone was like, you do not want to get

253
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: in that water. Okay, So I've jumped in the East River.

254
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: I've just jumped in the Hudson River. I've jumped in

255
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: the Sheep's Head Bay. I've jumped And this was one

256
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: we were doing one in Philadelphia, and so it was

257
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: like three in the morning. Bars have closed and we're

258
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: just hanging out on the schoolgl the schoolgl. I think

259
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: it's the schoolkel not the school kill it's spelt sel

260
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: shel Kill River the Schoogl River, and Schoogl River is

261
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: very very dirty, and where we were was pretty like

262
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: high up, it was a like a like dirt, and

263
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: then it came to like a berm that was wooden,

264
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: and then towards the bottom it was kind of like

265
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: covered in barnacles and stuff like that sound safe. And

266
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: so I just jump and it's like dark, and I

267
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: just jump in and I'm like swimming around having a

268
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: good time, and then I realize, like, oh, I'm stuck

269
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: because it's like maybe eight feet up to get to

270
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: to get out. And by the way, that's really scary. Yeah,

271
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: it's an industrial waterway at night. And and so all

272
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: of these like these Philly burrows are like they've just

273
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: been like hanging out nearby, drinking forties and like throwing

274
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: them into the river or whatever, and they're like they

275
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: just go into like fireman rescue mode and they like

276
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: they're like, come here, bro, come on, I got you, bro,

277
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: I got you. And I have to like swim and

278
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: like my legs to like get my arms up enough,

279
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: and then they just grab my hands and they just

280
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: yanked me out of the water super easy. Yes, and

281
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: because it was so easy, and this is why I

282
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: am a piece of shit, or at least I really

283
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: was in my twenties. Okay, I said thank you, turned

284
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: around and jumped right back in. And then these guys

285
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: were like fuck this piece of shit, like they were

286
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: so mad they left.

287
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 2: And then it was just the people who were like,

288
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 2: you know, a bunch of people who were interested in

289
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 2: psychogeography who do not have a lot of historically do

290
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 2: not have a lot of upper body straight no, famously

291
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: not hitting crunch at twenty four.

292
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. So after I swim around for a little while longer,

293
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: then it's like, oh, it's time to get out now. Yes,

294
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: And so now was like this like this battle of

295
00:16:52,840 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: like climbing along like razor sharp barnacles until like people

296
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: book could grab me and slowly slide me, scraping my

297
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: belly across all my just my soft white belly across

298
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: all the barnacles onto the dirt. But it didn't still

299
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: didn't does it stop me? It didn't stop me from

300
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: I got into the Illinois River. Been in the Chicago River,

301
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: yes we did. It was been in the Mississippi River. God,

302
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: say what you will about bros. And f boys and bullies.

303
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: But they are great at pulling you out of bodies

304
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: of water. It's really true. It's one of their main

305
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: positive skills.

306
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 2: I would say it's probably their best skill, is those guys.

307
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: Yeah. And also those guys are telling your story their

308
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: whole life.

309
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 2: That was the greatest thing.

310
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: They saved somebody's life.

311
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 2: And then you jump back yet yeah, yeah.

312
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: That's why they wear the baseball cap backwards. It's so

313
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 1: they can they have more room to see down below.

314
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 1: You know, you don't want to get that cap in

315
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: the way of seeing where you're rescuing someone from a

316
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: body of water.

317
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and don't you do that thing. Like I haven't

318
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 2: been to the gym since the Great char began, but

319
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 2: like even at the gym's sometimes you know, there's always

320
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 2: sort of the aerobic room, and then there's like the

321
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 2: weightlifting room. Yea, there's like the free weights room, and

322
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 2: then the machines room, and then like the treadmills and

323
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 2: ellipticals and stuff. And sometimes I would watch the guys,

324
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 2: mostly guys that just lifted weights the whole entire time,

325
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 2: and I would imagine scenarios where they would need that

326
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 2: type of strength, and you just named it. When they're

327
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 2: doing that thing where they're holding the two dumbells and.

328
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: They're just hoisting them up past their shoulders and leaning forward,

329
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 1: that's you.

330
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 2: That's me, that's they're like, Oh, I might have to

331
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 2: rescue a psychogeographer out of a body of water someday. Yeah,

332
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 2: but I don't miss it. I don't think I'm going back.

333
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 2: I think I'm a long walk sky. I think I'm

334
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 2: a hike sky. I'll do some push ups around the house.

335
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 2: I'm a loft walks guy, door to shore long walk. Nothing,

336
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 2: it was nothing. It has inspired. All I want to

337
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 2: do is walk.

338
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find seven hours to like just like

339
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: have nothing to do in seven hours, so I can

340
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: go on a seven hour long walk. Like that's all

341
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: I want to do. I love it so much. Also,

342
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: in that day, like what we left at nine, we

343
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: were done by five or something like that.

344
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were lazy too, Like we left a few times.

345
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:09,360
Speaker 1: We stopped a few times.

346
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 2: Indeed, we bought a shot at tequila.

347
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: We walked slowly, and I think we both burn. I

348
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 1: burned like six thousand calories or something.

349
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I bet more than that. I took forty two

350
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,959
Speaker 2: thousand steps. I took a photo of my watch and

351
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 2: a lot of people are like, I did ten thousand steps,

352
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 2: and I always just hold it. It's like my it's

353
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 2: like my ace up my sleeve. It's like, Scotty, what's

354
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 2: the longest you've ever walked? I'm like, oh, you know,

355
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 2: forty two thousand steps and then directly into the Pacific oceanhit.

356
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: That's the thing, Like, that's I want to now sign

357
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: up for marathons and just walk them, because like I was,

358
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: so nuh, you train for a marathon for so long

359
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: and then you're destroyed for like weeks after running a marathon,

360
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: and if you just walk it the next day, you're

361
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: just fine. You're just fine. Yeah.

362
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 2: I might have said this in an early episode and

363
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 2: not to bring up another red Bull thing, but's on

364
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 2: the top ahead. But when I was doing it in

365
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 2: Western mass I went to an ultra marathon where they'd

366
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 2: run one hundred miles straight, they don't stop, and it

367
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 2: was off it was off road, it was an off

368
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 2: road mouth. So I think there were less than twenty

369
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 2: runners let's say, yeah, fifteen men and women doing this,

370
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 2: and our job was to basically find them because they're

371
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 2: so staggered. They all start the same time, but to

372
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 2: run one hundred miles overnight, you know, some people are

373
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 2: run an hour a having other people Yeah, And so

374
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 2: our job was just to go, do you want to

375
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 2: Red Bull? And like everybody said yes, every single one,

376
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 2: which was rare because a normal marathons and stuff, people

377
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 2: are really content. You know, they're eating bananas, they're drinking

378
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 2: just water or electrolytes, and but the everybody there just

379
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 2: needed sugar no matter what.

380
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: So they were like, is there sugar in it?

381
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 2: And then you would open it and hand it to

382
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 2: them and they would drink it and throw the cam

383
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 2: back to you. And then so it ends, and I

384
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 2: see this guy. We get back in the car on

385
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 2: mass Pike and we go to a rest stop and

386
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 2: I see one of the runners that he still got

387
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 2: his bib on. Skinny guy, older man, older than for me,

388
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 2: he's probably late forties, and he's just reclined in the

389
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 2: passenger seat, window down. His wife was getting gas or whatever.

390
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 2: I was like, Hey, did you just run that marathon?

391
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 2: He's like yeah, dude. I was like, did you finish?

392
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: He's like I did.

393
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 2: He's like, can I have like four of those, and

394
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 2: I was like sure, so he gave him to him.

395
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 2: I'm like, so, what what does this do to He goes, well,

396
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 2: I sleep for at least forty eight hours, usually seventy

397
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 2: two hours half one. He just goes into his bedroom.

398
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 2: His wife handles life and the children and everything, and

399
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 2: he just passes out for over two days.

400
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

401
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 2: So I was like, those will keep you up. He's

402
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 2: like they won't.

403
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: He's like, I really, I do wonder like now that

404
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: the times your time has passed with a red bull

405
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: in the middle of a workout, If you've been running

406
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 1: for five hours to drink a red bull, I am

407
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 1: I'm counting there's a twenty minute mark where you just go, oh,

408
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: bad idea.

409
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 2: Just like all the chemicals attacking your body because like

410
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 2: everything is so open at that point. If you mixed

411
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 2: it with a ton of water, it wouldn't be bad

412
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 2: for you, right, But yeah, I don't even know if

413
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 2: you really want to be drinking carbonated stuff like carbonation.

414
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 2: Remember all Sport. All Sport was an energy drink that

415
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 2: had carbonation. It was carbonated Gateway basics and everybody be

416
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 2: like this is good. Then you run the first lap

417
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 2: at soccer practice and you're like barfing in your mouth

418

Speaker 2: recaptured one of his previously held titles by making two thousand,

484
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 2: nine hundred nineteen consecutive catches while juggling axes. I mean

485
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 2: that is really impressive. I mean it's crazy. David Rush

486
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 2: is his name, which is a great name for this

487
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 2: kind of person who has broken more than two hundred

488
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 2: Guinness World records to promote stem education. Previously held the

489
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 2: yeah not bad. Previously held the record for most consecutive

490
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 2: acts juggling catches in twenty eighteen, when he achieved eight

491
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 2: hundred thirty nine consecutive catches.

492
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,959
Speaker 1: What a paltry number. Rush's record was beaten in twenty twenty.

493
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 1: People had time to do this shit, yeah twenty Yeah,

494
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:11,959
Speaker 1: no kidding.

495
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna juggle axes until I get a robby last year.

496
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 2: That's on you. We had a lot of time to

497
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 2: get hobbies. He was beaten in twenty twenty by you

498
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 2: tall man named Benjamin Snow, who completed nine hundred thirty

499
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 2: seven catches. So Rush said he wanted to completely crush

500
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 2: Benjamin Snow's record.

501
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 1: Oh this attempt, it's the old It's a classic Rush

502
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: Snow rivalry.

503
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 2: Uh he managed, So he his latest attempt, he managed

504
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 2: twenty nine hundred. So again the one that beat who

505
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 2: was nine hundred and thirty seven. Then he comes and

506
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 2: does twenty nine hundred nineteen. This might be an unbreakable record.

507
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, Also it's it's is it?

508
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: It? Did he want to crush him because the guy

509
00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: went and beat his personal record? Is there amongst Guinness

510
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: Book of World Record people like a an animosity towards

511
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: someone who beats your record? I guess there must be.

512
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 2: You gotta be determined. You gotta have some serious discipline,

513
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 2: right because there is no reward, no four, not even again,

514
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 2: not even break for breaking Againness Book of World Record,

515
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,719
Speaker 2: other than a byline in an article on upi dot com.

516
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: So it must be all about personal personal pride. And

517
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: I guess this it was personal for Jeffrey Rush. Yeah

518
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 1: for Rush, So Rush did crush him. So how long

519
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: do you think it would take? This is interesting?

520
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 2: How long do you think it would take to juggle

521
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 2: twenty nine hundred nineteen times almost three thousand?

522
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: So there's three actses or four acts? I say, joggy

523
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: ree three acces. So let me see one, two, three, four,

524
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: five six, seven, eight, nine, ten. I would say, so

525
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: that's three thousand. I'm saying it's a little under one

526
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: a second, so three, let's say three let's say five

527
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: thousand seconds, sure, or no less than five thousand seconds,

528
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: probably like two thy five hundred seconds, which would be

529
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: to forty would it be two hours?

530
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting because he did it in twenty one

531
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 2: minutes and eleven seconds. It was really Benjamin Rush. He hurries, Also, I.

532
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: Probably am really wrong in my head math about that.

533
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna see what one hundred seconds divided by

534
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: sixty equals that it's forty one minutes. Okay, you weren't

535
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: that off. I think that's off by half.

536
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 2: Hey, when it comes aft, if you're off by half

537
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 2: when you're juggling, axes had a pretty good day, so

538
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 2: he Yeah, he recaptured and there's a celebration on Guinness

539
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 2: World Oh he did it on Guinness World Records Day,

540
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 2: which was Wednesday, November. I don't know, eighteenth maybe off

541
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 2: to look that up, but yeah, I agree with you.

542
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 2: They needs to be you don't make money you in

543
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 2: the book. The book is cool. I'm sure it's a

544
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 2: more of a website thing now, you should have a parade,

545
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 2: or they should have a festival where all the people

546
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 2: that break it in the year show up and do

547
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 2: the dumb thing they do. I mean, in this case

548
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 2: was for STEMS, so we gotta support. I think I

549
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 2: called him Benjamin Rush. It's Benjamin Snow and David I called.

550
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: Him Jeffrey Rush. So we're all across the board.

551
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 2: And Ben Hooper wrote the article, not Ben Harper, saying

552
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 2: to steal my kisses that anybody that went to college

553
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 2: in the late nineties or early two thousands had to pretend

554
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 2: to like that guy. I wouldn't have a girlfriend at all.

555
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: I definitely said Ben Harper when I made my joke.

556
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: All right, well, I'm proud of him. He did it.

557
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: It's done.

558
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 2: I this one clicked in right away from me when

559
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 2: I was living in Brooklyn, when they are terrorists, I

560
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 2: was walking over towards like Flatbush and Vanderbilt, over Prospect Heights.

561
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 2: I'm walking along Prospect Park West, and I see a

562
00:30:58,360 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 2: guy went to college with that I knew, a little

563
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 2: little bit named Mike. Mike's a great dude. I might listen,

564
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 2: he might be a bit animal. And he is standing

565
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,479
Speaker 2: there and he looks shell shock. Middle of day, like

566
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 2: not even middle day, eleven am. And I was like, hey, Mike,

567
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 2: like you didn't even recognize me. Yeah, And he's like,

568
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 2: hey Scottie. I'm like, are you all right?

569
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: Man?

570
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 2: He's like, I can't find my car and which you

571
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 2: know you get towed a lot in New York or

572
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 2: like you park it's you can lose track you're on

573
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 2: Seventh Street or ninth Street, like you can get turned around.

574
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 2: So I was like, I'm sorry, dude. And I didn't

575
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 2: know if he was on drugs. I didn't know if

576
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 2: he was like hungover, but he was just but he

577
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 2: looked he was kind of well dressed. And I was like,

578
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 2: what's going on? And he just snaps out of him

579
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 2: and he goes, I just played golf with my boss

580
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 2: and a client, and I was like, oh, and he's like,

581
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 2: I bought I bought a new driver and just for

582
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 2: this to like look like a big shot, like run

583
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 2: with the big dogs. And I swing my driver on

584
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 2: the first hole and I guess I teed my ball

585
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 2: up too high and I hit the ball with the

586
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 2: shaft and it just snapped the head off his driver.

587
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 2: So this new five hundred dollars driver, he's trying to

588
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 2: look cool and for five hundred dollars? Is that how

589
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 2: much golf clubs cost? Yeah, an overside driver is usually

590
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 2: like three hundred. I guess it could get up to

591
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 2: a thousand if you're not good at golf.

592
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

593
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 2: So he feels like a jackass and the boss makes

594
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 2: fun of him instantly, and the client like, lay laugh

595
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 2: and they're like whoa you know, like, and he's just

596
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 2: red faced, and the client says to him, you can

597
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 2: use mine. It happens blah blah blah, and Mike swings

598
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 2: it and hits the ground.

599
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: Now breaks the head. Guys up now of two drivers

600
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: in a row, including the guy that they were trying

601
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: to schmooz and win over. It was a different club.

602
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 2: He guys like, don't see the ball, so hi, So

603
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 2: he teed it down lower and then when he swung through,

604
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 2: he just hit the grass before the ball snapped it off.

605
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 2: So one thousand dollars of golf clubs side now and

606
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,440

609
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 2: just so upset he couldn't like even remember where he

00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: probably doesn't have a lot of money. No, he was

615
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:24,959
Speaker 1: so overwhelmed.

616
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 2: You couldn't remember where he parked because he broke back

617
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,320

Speaker 1: Up on a hill in Yorkshire, England sounds like the

Speaker 1: beginning of a fun song. A crowd filled a pub

654
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,800
Speaker 1: on Friday to listen to an Oasis tribute band. Inside

Speaker 1: the pub, the tan hill in. The beers were cold,

656
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: the fires were warming, and the musicians were electric. Thank you, Alyssa. Look, pet,

657
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: that's what it takes to get into the New York Times.

658
00:35:56,040 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: All right, best, But outside the winds were how and

659
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: the snow was swirling. The pub patrons knew the forecast

660
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: was dire, but not so much that piles of snow

661
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,240
Speaker 1: as high as three feet would block the pub's exits,

662
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:13,760
Speaker 1: said Nicola Townsend, the inns general manager. After the tribute

663
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: band no Oasis finished its set, the local authorities said

664
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: it was not safe to drive home. Miss Townshend set

665
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: on Sunday night, so the patrons, the band members, and

666
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 1: seven in employees stayed the night, and then another, and

667
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: on Sunday night they stayed another all right, though the

00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: roads were not safe to travel. A group of off

00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:39,240
Speaker 1: roaders took a couple of parents home to their young children.

670
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: Miss Townshend said, Oh my god, what a nightmare. If

00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: no Oasis. We're so psyched to get out of the house. Yeah,

673
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: and then you get snowed in it. What could be

674
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: a fun hangout in a pub for three days, Yes,

675
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 1: it becomes a terror stricken ride home to get to

676
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: your young children. I can only imagine. I feel like

677
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: it'd be in that situation. And rescue group also helped

678
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:06,120

00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: the people who had been stranded at the pub to

684
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: begin their Monday journey home. By Monday evening, even the

00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 2: in those seats in.

773
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: Yorkshire, England. Yeah, I think so. If you're if you're

00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 1: from the if you live in London, let's say the

775
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,240
Speaker 1: majority of our listeners in the UK are probably in London,

776
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: would you go to Yorkshire to see the bananas?

777
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 2: Let us know podcast is now because we will come

778
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 2: to this place and well if you if you're in

Speaker 2: an oasis, you can be our opening act.

780
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: Oh man, this reminds me of a snowstorm and this

781
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: is the last time. Sadly, I think this was the

782
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: last time I really felt this, okay, And I love

783
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 1: the feeling of being snowed in. I love it so

784
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: much of just being like there's nothing we can do,

785
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: you know, we're stuck, especially if you don't have anything

786
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: like that, like like children or something where you have

787
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 1: to get to them. But it's just like, well, I

788
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: guess this is what we're doing now.

789
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:51,720
Speaker 2: And it was start drinking. It was get the picky

790
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 2: bits out, honey.

791
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 1: I was in college, uh, and we lived in the dorms,

792
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: and me and my four friends Hank Baker, John, Paulameny,

793
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:09,240
Speaker 1: and Matt. For some reason Matt Kalanowski had all decided

794
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: to stay in our dorms over Christmas break, which no

795
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: one ever did. Yeah, So we like I went home

796
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: for Christmas, saw my mom, and then came back like

797
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 1: the next day after Christmas, and then we were just

798
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: in the in the dorms and we started just getting

799
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 1: into like this crazy routine of like only waking like

800
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: waking up at like five pm, going down to the

801
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 1: dining hall, eating dinner for breakfast, and then staying up

802
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 1: all night long and then we would have breakfast for

803
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: dinner and then go to bed, sleep all day, and

804
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 1: the night is so long because it's like the middle

805
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 1: of December, right, and then a snowstorm hits in Baltimore,

806
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 1: and it is just it's just my car. My car

807
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: had a Honda Civic nineteen ninety two, Honda Civic, and

808
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: it was just cover, like I just I could identify that,

809
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: like it was there. I could see, like I remember

810
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 1: where I parked, and it was the mound. So then

811
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 1: we just got a a trash can because we just

812
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: didn't think to go and buy by a shovel and

813
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: then just use trash cans to just scoop it out,

814
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: scoop it out, scoop it out, and then like got

815
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: it scooped out enough, but then the roads weren't plowed

816
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: and so then we were just stuck and it was

817
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,479
Speaker 1: it was the it was the best feeling. We didn't

818
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: have a we didn't have a fireplace or anything. Yeah,

819
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 1: maybe had, but we had a record player and we

820
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: had beer and that's and it was just like I want,

821
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 1: I want that feeling so bad again someday.

822
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 2: I love that I totally can relate to that, and

823
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,360
Speaker 2: also being on an empty campus when you're still a

824
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,240
Speaker 2: student is such a magical feeling.

825
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 1: It really is.

826
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's so fun, man, I it's the best.

827
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 2: I got a really well I could tell very very

828
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 2: very very very abbreviated story, but basically, I went on

829
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 2: a ski a ski trip with like Catholic school when

830
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 2: I was in six or seven grade. And it was

831
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 2: a full coach bus full of kids from different I

832
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 2: guess churches or Catholic schools or whatever. I knew a

833
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 2: couple people, but I ended up staying with a couple

834
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 2: guys are gonna be my friends. We get snowed in.

835
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 2: It was a blizzard. This is in Seven Springs, Pennsylvania Springs,

836
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 2: West Virginia, so but huge snowstorm, like fifty inches overnight. Crazy.

837
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 2: The bus tried to get up and slid back down

838
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 2: twice and there, you know, oh yeah, whatever Saint, whatever

839
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,280
Speaker 2: the patron's saying of buses is, was not paying attention

840
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 2: that day. Yeah, So we all go back, We all

841
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 2: call our parents, and all of our parents Western or

842
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,280
Speaker 2: Western Union or I guess they just called the hotel

843
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 2: and gave credit cards and so then we all had tabs.

844
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 2: I'm talking six seventh eighth graders. I'm talking the girls

845
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 2: have hit puberty. The boys are all pip squeaks, myself included.

846
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 2: Was the most It was the most adult that it

847
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 2: was college. I was in college for three days. You

848
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 2: would ski with your friends in the deep snow. It

849
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,359
Speaker 2: snows all the time. Oh my god, eat any do.

850
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: You want it?

851
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 2: For as much as one we got room service. There

852
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 2: were kids from other schools that we were hanging out with.

853
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,720
Speaker 2: There's just one kid that would set up the billiard table.

854
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:09,800
Speaker 2: There's a huge arcade game room.

855
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 1: You know, you're eating curly fries, just picky bits, just

856
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 1: play it to curly. Just so many picky bits. Jesus,

857
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: we were running out catching We had so many picky bits.

858
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 2: And you know, playing games with your friends. It was incredible.

859
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,800
Speaker 2: I had this little crush on this young person if Steve,

860
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 2: if Steve Santamut, who I shared a room with during

861
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 2: this If you remember that person's name, let me know,

862
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 2: because that was it was like fun to have like

863
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 2: a forty eight hours romance when you're not doing anything.

864
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:41,840
Speaker 2: Your second base feels very intimidating age. But it ended

865
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 2: like when the snow melted, the feeling of disappointment when

866
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 2: they're like, probably gonna leave tomorrow morning. It was devastating.

867
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 2: It's more upset about that than graduating college or high school,

868
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 2: both of those. I was like, I am out of here.

869
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:58,399
Speaker 2: This has been fun, Smell you later. But the only

870
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 2: other weird details, like there was this that I knew

871
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 2: and I he went to a different school. I didn't

872
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 2: know he was going on this trip, and I knew

873
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 2: he was on the coach bus. But we had grown

874
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 2: up together as little kids, and then we didn't see

875
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 2: each other until this point. And I'm walking down the

876
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 2: hallway after like skiing all day, and I passed him,

877
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 2: and I like did that thing where I look up

878
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 2: and I realize it's him, And then I'm like, do

879
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 2: I say anything? And I didn't say anything. I take

880
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 2: two more steps, and then I'm like, I'm gonna turn

881
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 2: around and say like, hey, I'm gonna use a fake name.

882
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:30,439
Speaker 2: I'm gonna hey Billy. And I turn around and he's

883
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 2: standing there with his middle finger up to the back

884
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 2: of my head. So when I turned around, I turned

885
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 2: directly into his middle finger. It was to this day,

886
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 2: it's one of the most haunting thing that's ever happened.

887
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: To me and you didn't say nothing like.

888
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 2: So then I was like, hey, what's up man, and

889
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 2: he's like whatever, and like walked away.

890
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 1: I think he was so furious.

891
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 2: I think my friend group that I had made in

892
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 2: that circle, including this very cute young sixth grade girl

893
00:47:57,719 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 2: when I was in sixth grade, we were like, I

894
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 2: think we were having more fun than everybody, and maybe

895
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 2: he felt left out. But I went to turn and say, hey,

896
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 2: like be the be the bigger child and say hey,

897
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 2: we we used to go to the ocean together. And

898
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, his middle fingers fully like he was

899
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 2: just flipping me off walking away, and I looked right

900
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 2: into it, and I was like, Okay, not everybody's gonna

901
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 2: love you in this world. So whoopsie daisy, whoopsie doodles.

902
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 1: I will say. The one thing that this also reminded me,

903
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:28,280
Speaker 1: Oh do you have Did you have more to that story?

904
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 1: That's a great ending, that's a great ending, was that

905
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 1: I remember the first time going to the only like

906
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:41,839
Speaker 1: I had this kind of almost similar feeling. The first

907
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 1: time I ever went to Edinburgh for the fest, for

908
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: the festival We Love It. I was there with the

909
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 1: Neutrino Video Project where we did a very experimental type

910
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 1: show and lost ten thousand dollars but had a lot

911
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: of fun. And it was the last night of the festival,

912
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:03,800
Speaker 1: so the festival shuts down. It has been a grind

913
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 1: for those of you that are not familiar with the

914
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 1: way Edinburgh works is you do twenty seven shows and

915
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 1: twenty nine days, you have two days off and it's

916
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,799
Speaker 1: just like go, go go. You're like flyering all day

917
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: long and then you go and do your show and

918
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 1: then you get very drunk at night, and then you

919
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: wake up late and you flyer all day and you

920
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 1: do you just do it. It's just like Groundhog Day.

921
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: You make a lot of friends. I'm in my mid

922
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 1: twenties at the time, yes, sir, and it's the final night.

923
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:34,959
Speaker 1: Always the bars would stay open until five in the morning,

924
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:36,959
Speaker 1: so it was very normal to stay up and stay

925
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 1: up until like four or five in the morning with everybody.

926
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 1: But then it was like the last night and we

927
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 1: were like with all these people from the venue, these

928
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 1: Scottish people who were like We're like.

929
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 2: We're not going to bed and where everybody's like yay.

930
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 1: And we had our flights later in the day, and

931
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 1: so there's what you could do was the festival venues

932
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 1: would close at five am, and there was one pub

933
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 1: in Edinburgh that would open at six am, okay, and

934
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: it was in like the old towns. It was very

935
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 1: like you know, you know, it's just very medieval feeling

936
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 1: and whatnot, and so you just had to like kill

937
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 1: time from five to six, which we did by just

938
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: like rolling down a hill, like legitimately rolling down a

939
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 1: hill for an hour, and then at six am, this

940
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 1: bar opens and it is immediately packed. It is I've

941
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 1: never it's still dark out. Okay, it's still dark out,

942
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:40,360
Speaker 1: and the place is just packed with kids, like kids

943
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 1: in their twenties, just like we're drinking more. And it

944
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 1: was like that feeling that we're like we're all in

945
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 1: here for forever.

946
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 2: This is never gonna end. Yes, it was so fun.

947
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 2: Everybody's flirting with everybody else and then exactly and it

948
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,760
Speaker 2: was just like just so joyous.

949
00:50:56,840 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 1: And then we walk out at like eight am and

950
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,320
Speaker 1: people are just going to work and it just feels

951
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 1: you're just like, hey, we did it.

952
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 2: We live finally on our last night in Edinburgh, that's

953
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:09,840
Speaker 2: the best.

954
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 1: It was so wonderful.

955
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 2: You and I went to Edinburgh and we went to

956
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 2: Star Bar almost every night. Remember Starbar, I think, so

957
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 2: the one that plays a c DC almost exclusively. Yes,

958
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 2: it was that rock and roll bar that everybody's like,

959
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 2: don't go into those annoying fringe bars, go to Star

960
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 2: Bar and end up there and it's just a bunch

961
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 2: of old rockers. I love that bar. We went there

962
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:34,320
Speaker 2: many many nights. People start to know you and Kristen

963
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 2: were performing and Glenn.

00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:48,359
Speaker 2: this woman every night, and uh she started joining us.

968
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 2: You know there, everybody's just smoking like chimneys. Inside we're drinking.

969
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:53,959
Speaker 2: You and I were drinking monkey shoulder and two ounce

970
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,359
Speaker 2: pores yep. And because we couldn't get drunk on one

Speaker 1: who are wondering.

974
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,879
Speaker 2: Blended Scotch, I think. And we're just going hard and

975
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 2: Ruth is sitting across from me, larger than life personality,

976
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 2: raspy voice, and she just keeps saying things. All of

977
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 2: us are just shooting the breeze, and she keeps saying

978
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:16,319
Speaker 2: things like, ah, you're you're a you're a flirty one,

979
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 2: oh like to me and I wasn't hurting it all,

980
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 2: and she's like, oh, somebody's gonna have to take care

981
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:20,879
Speaker 2: of this one.

982
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:23,839
Speaker 1: Like, just keep saying all these things. All night.

983
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 2: We're all laughing, telling.

984
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:28,280
Speaker 1: Stories, telling about oh you, oh, you're a trouble maker

985
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 1: this one here, and I'm like, Jesus, this is kidding,

986
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 1: Like now I'm starting to feel it unsafe. And then

987
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:41,239
Speaker 1: at some point you or Kristen goes, uh, Ruth, it

988
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:43,399
Speaker 1: sounds like you want to kiss Scottie and she goes,

989
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,800
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna kiss him. This is my husband right here,

990
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 1: And the guy sitting next to her was the husband.

991
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 1: He's just been nodding, staring at me the whole time.

992
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:54,399
Speaker 1: It's incredible. This is to get punched through the head.

993
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:57,879
Speaker 1: She's just drunken like hitting on me right in front

994
00:52:57,880 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 1: of him.

995
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:00,200
Speaker 2: And I was like just being polite, being like, well,

996
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, I guest trouble okay, just trying to

997
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:07,759
Speaker 2: talk to the comedians that I came with. Somebody's gonna

998
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 2: have to teach you a lesson. Okay, okay, I guess

999
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 2: I do need to learn. That's right here, Yes, sir,

1000
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 2: are what one for the road? Yeah, let's do one

1001
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 2: for the road.

1002
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 1: Folks.

1003
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:20,239
Speaker 2: We didn't do an animal one today, did we. We

1004
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 2: didn't do any Look at that. No animals, Nadalie underscore

1005
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 2: BK sent this in a while ago. Now the underscore BK.

1006
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 2: We hope you're still be an animal.

1007
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:29,360
Speaker 1: Uh.

1008
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:37,760
Speaker 2: Seals remember what they did, but only for eighteen seconds.

1009
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 2: Michael Marshall wrote this for News Sciences. None of that

1010
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:46,840
Speaker 2: old scientists, bs, Wow, Grandmas scientists. Seals and sea lions

1011
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 2: can remember what they have just done and repeated on

1012
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 2: command if they were asked to do so within eighteen seconds.

1013
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:52,919
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

1014
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:56,279
Speaker 2: But finding suggests they have at least some form of consciousness,

1015
00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 2: since they are seemingly aware of their actions.

1016
00:53:58,760 --> 00:53:59,240
Speaker 1: Quote.

1017
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:03,320
Speaker 2: All the species we tested could do this, said Simeon Smelly.

1018
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 2: I swear to God his name are Simian Smell as

1019
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:12,440
Speaker 2: m e e l E Smeely Smelly, I don't know.

1020
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 2: At the University of Southern Denmark, Smeally or Smelly and

1021
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:20,439
Speaker 2: his colleagues tested seven captive animals a gray seal, two

1022
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 2: harbor seals, a South African sea lion. They had all

1023
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:27,280
Speaker 2: been previously trained perform actions like waving flippers on command

1024
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:29,800
Speaker 2: cruel don't make them do it. They were first taught

1025
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 2: a new command that meant repeat what you just did,

1026
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 2: without actually specifying what the action repeated was, and they

1027
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 2: were given a fish when they learned to respond to

1028
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:42,439
Speaker 2: the right thing. However, simply learning to repeat the action

1029
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 2: isn't enough, because for the animal, the animal could just

1030
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 2: be responding to the command, so it could just wait

1031
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:50,520
Speaker 2: there and ask for the fish like rack flipper. To

1032
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 2: make sure the animal is not doing this, we did

1033
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:56,239
Speaker 2: double repeat, said smelly or smeey. In other words, the

1034
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 2: animal was a commander to perform a task, then told

1035
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:02,399
Speaker 2: to repeat that test just said repeat it, and then

1036
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 2: told to repeat it again on the second repeat. Simply

1037
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 2: remembering the previous que repeat what would not help the animal,

1038
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 2: So they they basically would have to be like, Okay,

1039
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:15,920
Speaker 2: I'm doing the same thing over and over. And then

1040
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 2: to make it harder the team, you know, make it

1041
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 2: harder on these poor things.

1042
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, because the seals are the seals are

1043
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:22,279
Speaker 1: interested in this.

1044
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:25,080
Speaker 2: Yes, make it harder. Yeah, they they're definitely into it

1045
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 2: more than just the fish. The team started putting a

1046
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 2: delay of a few seconds between original action and repeated commands.

1047
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 2: The animals became less and less accurate with longer delays,

1048
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 2: and after eighteen seconds, were no better than chance.

1049
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:42,360
Speaker 1: Wow. Interesting, I wonder for humans. I wonder for humans

1050
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,840
Speaker 1: how how long it is? I bet you it's not

1051
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:47,880
Speaker 1: I bet you it's maybe just a couple of minutes.

1052
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:49,359
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? If like, you watch

1053
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 1: an action that's like even mildly complicated, and then three

1054
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 1: minutes later are asked to repeat it, I don't know

1055
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 1: if I could.

1056
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 2: I don't know. I guess it depends on how difficult

1057
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:01,160
Speaker 2: the action, how complex the action.

1058
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: Right, and also just depends on how tasty that fish is,

1059
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:06,040
Speaker 1: you know, and what kind of fish.

1060
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 2: It is, yeah, cocktail or tartar, you never know. And

1061
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 2: then the only other interesting thing I'll drop in here

1062
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 2: is that, so far we only know two other species

1063
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 2: that remember their actions, bottlenosed dolphins and monkeys called southern

1064
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:22,360
Speaker 2: pigtailed macaqus really long.

1065
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:22,879
Speaker 1: They can.

1066
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:25,759
Speaker 2: They're recognized for their intelligence, and they can remember their

1067
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:28,759
Speaker 2: actions much longer. Increments so you can say, go do

1068
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:30,520
Speaker 2: that thing again and they'll remember it much.

1069
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 1: But I got a question for you, Scottie. The person

1070
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:35,960
Speaker 1: who named the macacus were they did they know about

1071
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:39,760
Speaker 1: the mcaus? Oh wait, mccaus are a bird? I thought

1072
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:41,920
Speaker 1: that they were a monkey, all right, So mccacs or

1073
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 1: monkeys and mcaus are birds, all right?

1074
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:44,400
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1075
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 1: Well, well we all know that whoever we all know,

1076
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 1: whoever named a sea lion has never seen a dog.

1077
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 1: So God, they are cute. I do like them, the

1078
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 1: puppies of the sea. Hmmm.

1079
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 2: That's just been another thrilling episode of the Bananas Podcast.
