00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 2: Adam Lustick. It's very funny man. And I hadn't seen

86
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 2: him since probably twenty nineteen. So we grabbed beers and

87
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,080

Speaker 2: do that. Do people get hurt? He goes, every single game,

95
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 2: somebody gets severely injured. I goes severely, goes, I've broken

96
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 2: my ankle twice. It was the best sales pitch to join,

97
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 2: like a absolutely voluntary pickup basketball league. And as somebody

98
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 2: gets extremely hurt every game, and then he himself broke

99
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 2: his own ankle playing basketball and then had to drive himself,

100
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, with your opposite foot, he goes, No,

101
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 2: with my broken leg, I on the accelerator in the

102
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 2: break all the way to get treatment.

103
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: So, oh my god.

104
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 2: So I won't be joining the comedy Basketball League, I

105
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 2: don't think, but I will be in perfect shape for

106
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 2: a downhill, one k for bananas Fest.

107
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: There is a soccer there's a soccer game between rival schools,

108
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: rival public schools, but it's for the parents of those kids,

109
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: uh huh. And it gets we heard like people were

110
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: always like it's fun. Come you know, it's like really fun,

111
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: like not everybody's great and we all play soccer and

112
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: it's wonderful. And then we find out last year like

113
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: like some woman got hip checked and broke her wrists.

114
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 2: Oh boy, oh boy.

115
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: Like I mean, like, you just can't do it. I can't.

116
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: I can't do it. I told my buddy Derek Derek

117
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: Brown like started playing soccer and like we went on

118
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: a hike and he was just like limping a little.

119
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta get it.

120
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: Like I told you, don't do it. Don't do it.

121
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: You're too old. I know.

122
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 2: It's very very funny. I'm glad you're doing stand up

123
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,119
Speaker 2: and for Thursday and Friday night. That'll be super fun

124
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 2: for you. Also, that gives you some time to acclimate

125
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 2: to the crazy altitude.

126
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: I know I need to after the time we were there.

127
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 2: One thing I really like about your stand up is

128
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 2: every time I see you working new material, I truly

129
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 2: have no idea what the topic or premise will be.

130
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: And I think since you've started stand up, since we've

131
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 2: known each other, I really do respect it, and I

132
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 2: think it's great because comedy is all about surprising. And

133
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 2: I was thinking about that some more and I was like,

134
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 2: I wonder if Kurt has ever considered the strangers who've

135
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 2: come to your show. So you do a show like

136
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 2: we did in Raleigh, Yeah, and a bunch of people

137
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: might not have known who you were. They just wanted

138
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 2: to go out for a night of comedy. And it

139
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 2: was packed. I was a pack show. Do you ever

140
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 2: wonder how many people have come to your show and

141
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 2: then repeat, try to repeat your jokes to other people

142
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 2: in their life? Like, have you ever been like I

143
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 2: wonder how many offices, mom groups, family dinners where somebody

144
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 2: said my joke probably terribly to other strangers and said,

145
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 2: we saw this really funny guy named Kurt and he

146
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 2: had the funny joke. Have you ever considered how many

147
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 2: people you've made second or third or fourth layer laugh?

148
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: No, I have never ever considered that. Surprisingly, surprisingly, I

149
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: like that you have considered it, though, well.

150
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 2: I have because as there's something sometimes well sometimes I

151
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 2: think of some of your bits and and I lol

152
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 2: to myself, but I was like, I know your voice.

153
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 2: I could write for you if I had to, so

154
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: I could probably recite your jokes almost word for word,

155
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: just being your friend and comedy partner.

156
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you see me do stand up a lot.

157
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 2: I've seen you eighteen years to do comedy. But then

158
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,719
Speaker 2: you know Jimmy and hr when he goes in, he goes, man,

159
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 2: this guy this joke about sleep last night. I would

160
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 2: pay so much money to hear what that guy repeats

161
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 2: that he thinks you've said. And if it gets a

162
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 2: laugh or not, I think there's something that it's an unknown.

163
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 2: Will never know this, No, yeah.

164
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: It is a true unknown. It's a delightful unknown.

165
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 2: Because people do, you know, quote movies and they quote

166
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 2: their comedians and all the quote stand up bits all

167
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 2: the time. It's just you've entertained probably at this point

168
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 2: in your life. I don't know, thirty thousand strangers.

169
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh more more because maybe more of those arena

170
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: shows together. Each one of those was thirty thousand.

171
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 2: Right, So somebody wind saw when you were featuring or

172
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 2: doing the Bird Show for seven thousand people. It's like,

173
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 2: how many of those people loved when your bit so much,

174
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 2: and then they tried to explain that bit that to me.

175
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 2: I will never know, but boy, that would be mussy

176
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: TV only on NBC.

177
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: I did some new I will Actually, this is weird

178
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: that you say this because I did a show last night.

179
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: Kevin Neal This is fascinating, Kevin Neelan love Kevin Neiland.

180
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: I think I mentioned this because I got my special

181
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: on United. Kevin Nelan just happened to be flying United

182
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: and flipping through comedian specials and watched my entire special

183
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: and immediately DM me and was like, I've never heard

184
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: of you, and this was awesome. Wow, is such a

185
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: big honor. And then he asked me if I would

186
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: come do his new material show at a Laugh Factory

187
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: last night. It was great. It was me, Whitney Cummings,

188
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,239
Speaker 1: Kirk Fox, who is surprisingly very very fun not surprisingly

189
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: but he was like, uh, he was funny in a.

190
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: Very surprising way.

191
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Marcello Hernandez from Saturday Night Live, who was

192
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: very funny as well. And it was oh and heyesus Treo,

193
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: who's always great. But as I was leaving, I left.

194
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: I waited till the end of the show to like

195
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: say goodbye to Kevin because I appreciated like meeting him

196
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: in person and whatnot. And then as I'm leaving, I

197
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: was like in a group of people who had just

198
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: been in the show, and they were like walking and up,

199
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: but I was like a step behind them. So therefore

200
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: I could hear them talking. And it's always an awkward

201
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: thing where I just want to get away, do you

202
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Because I don't want to if

203
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: I overhear them say like that I was really funny.

204
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: It's like, sure, it's an ego boost, but there's it's

205
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: equally likely to be like that guy in the middle

206
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: man I hated him, Like it's you know what I mean,

207
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: Like you just don't know what you're gonna do.

208
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

209
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: And so as I was walking, I heard people start

210
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: to talk about my set and I was just like, no, I.

211
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 2: Just slowed down.

212
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: I just like slowed down so they could like walk ahead.

213
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: So there is I don't want to know what people

214
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 1: say about it.

215
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 2: Well, that's I totally get it. Also, I've been working

216
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 2: with Whitney and she was like, why haven't you asked

217
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 2: me to be on bananas? I'm like, we have asked

218
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 2: you three times, and you told me the first two

219
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 2: times you don't want to do it until we're in studio,

220
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 2: and we don't have a studio yet. So when we're

221
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 2: in studio, she's like, oh, I'll do it, and I

222
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 2: was like, okay, well I did ask you more than once.

223
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 2: So anyway, she'll be on at some point, which is

224
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 2: nice because she's a very good podcaster.

225
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, you want to hear about this?

226
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, of course I want to hear about this.

227
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 1: Chicago News arizonatomically correct picture of Cubs mascot with panots

228
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: on live TV for ten seconds. This was sent in

229
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: by copy Haste. I've got a.

230
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 2: Double legend returned.

231
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: I got a double copy hay story episode for us tonight.

232
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 2: I wonder if he'll be a Banana's fest.

233
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: I hope he will.

234
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 2: Gauntlet has been dropped.

235
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: This is you know. This is from back in twenty fourteen.

236
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 2: I was alive. This was eight years old.

237
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: UPI one of the best. I'm a surprised UPI existed

238
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen. I never knew of them until we

239
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: started doing this show. Here it is me too, by

240
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: Evan Blear, who is the Blessed in the Blizz, the

241
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 1: Chicago Cub's new mascot, Clarke. The bear was shown equipped

242
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: with male Gititelia for nearly ten seconds of five TV

243
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: on Tuesday night, after someone at CSN mid Atlantic apparently

244
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: decided to have a little fun After the Cubs introduced

245
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: Clark on Monday, sports blog dead Spin posted the anatomically

246
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: Craig version of the bear to the website. That version

247
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: of Clark made its way onto the airs of CSN

248
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: mid Atlantic. During Sports Talk Live, CSN anchor Nicole read

249
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: a description about Clark's Viewers were treated to a shot

250
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: of his family jewels. He's described as a young, friendly

251
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 1: Cub who can't wait to interact with the kids. Tarlet said,

252
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: that is a gag photo. If we could switch to

253
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: the next one, she says that, and then it stayed

254
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: on air for like another five full seconds. It is

255
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: so crazy.

256
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking at it and it is definitely a

257
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 2: It is a bear wearing a backwards Cubs hat, wearing

258
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 2: a Cubs jersey, wearing Cubs shoes, and between the bottom

259
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 2: of the jersey and the tennis shoes are is Louis

260
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 2: Louisville slugger and two curveballs. Yeah, that's pretty good.

261
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: That is. And also it is very specific that he

262
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: has a hat, shirt, shoes, and no pants. But I

263
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: guess that's what bears do in drawings. Bears traditionally don't wear.

264
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 2: Pants, unless you're Smoky, who only wears pants and a hat.

265
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: So weird he only wears pants.

266
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, fire turns him on. You gotta be careful with

267
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 2: that bear.

268
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: He has. He has a he has, he has pants

269
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: and suspenders and a hat, no shirt.

270
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. Interesting, he's just ready. He's ready to stomp out

271
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 2: that campfire and then steal your partner. He's a real man,

272
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 2: he is.

273
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: Also, it's Smoky Bear, not smoke Bear.

274
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. I also like that all the ones in California,

275
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 2: which I'm assuming is everywhere, the Smoky's eyes, the way

276
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 2: they painted them on just looks like he's having existential crisis.

277
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 2: Whenever you really look at him, he's just sitting there.

278
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 2: It's like today's fire warning. It's like green or whatever.

279
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 2: And then you look at his eyes and he's like

280
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 2: I never said I love you to my father.

281
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: And you're like, oh god, Smoke, I noticed you.

282
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 2: Will now watch this. That's okay, this is fine. Yeah,

283
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 2: it's funny.

284
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: Are there any other bears, the drawing bears. I mean,

285
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: there's the Sharman bears. They wear nothing.

286
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 2: Yogi has a collar right in a tie and I.

287
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: Have yeah, no pants, Yo, you've got no pants?

288
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 2: Blue Bear, naked Blue was out there. He was living

289
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 2: his dream.

290
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: Who's blue?

291
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 2: A blue? Sorry? From the Jungle Book? Oh yeah, I

292
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 2: want to be like you? Who who are bear necessities?

293
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 2: I see if you're I'm a Zennial, which is like

294
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 2: that microgen. And if you're a Zeniel, you watch the

295
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 2: Disney animated Robin Hood movie more than any other animated

296
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 2: movie in the eighties, and that one little John was

297
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 2: a bear and he was a great character. I could

298
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 2: watch that movie right now. Maybe I will. I'm an adult.

299
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 2: I can download it, I can watch it.

300
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen that? There's an article I'm trying

301
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: to google it right now.

302
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 2: And the Sharman bears are just buttholes, right, that's the

303
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 2: whole idea, that they're just blue and dirty.

304
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: But they have dirty buttholes from from weak toilet paper, which.

305
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 2: Is yeah, so nightmare, what a nightmare? Poor guys, that's

306
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 2: a that's fine. When when Ma was not in theatership

307
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 2: of coming out. There was a screening of Peppa Pig

308
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 2: the movie or some children's movie in London, and they

309
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 2: accidentally played the trailer for ma in another horror movie

310
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 2: before that screening, and they had to put a big

311
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 2: public apology because so many children were crying and upset

312
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 2: before it started.

313
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's so crazy.

314
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 2: It was so it's it's because in my in the

315
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 2: Man trailer, you see the woman get hit by the truck.

316
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 2: You see Mercedes get leveled.

317
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: Oh my god, so so whoopsie. And then there's that uh,

318
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: there's that fourth grade teacher who aired that Winnie the

319
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: Pooh horror movie for his entire class. Everybody started crying

320
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: midway through.

321
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 2: It was good. That was good.

322
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: I mean, give me one, Scott, I.

323
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 2: Got one for you. Bethy Ka sent this in. Want

324
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 2: a happy marriage, have a big cheap wedding? Okay, interesting, right.

325
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: How do you have a big cheap wedding?

326
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 2: Brandon Griggs will tell you, because he writes first c

327
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 2: A n If you're serving burgers and bud light at

328
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 2: your backyard wedding, don't you worry? You and your spouse

329
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 2: may have the last laugh. A new study found that

330
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 2: couples who spend less on their weddings tend to have

331
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 2: longer lasting marriages than those who splurge. The study by

332
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 2: two economics professors at Emory University that's a real school,

333
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 2: found a similar correlation between less expensive engagement rings and

334
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 2: lower divorce rates. What this is? This great? I was like, heck, yeah,

335
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 2: I'm in The studies authors didn't examine why great, although

336
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 2: they floated a few theories. So here comes the not foust. Okay,

337
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 2: it could be.

338
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: It could be a non causal relationship.

339
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,479
Speaker 2: It could be that the type of couples who have

340
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 2: a cheap wedding or the type that are a perfect

341
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 2: match for each other, said professor Hugo M. What milon,

342
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 2: that's the first could be it? Or who co authored

343
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 2: the study with Andrew M. Francis like a lot of

344
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 2: ms the m marriage. Or it could have been at

345
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 2: having an inexpensive wedding relieves young couples of the financial

346
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 2: burdens that may later strain their marriages. That seems pretty likely, okay,

347
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 2: but again, these are just theories. The research was based

348
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 2: on a detailed survey completed by three one and fifty

349
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 2: one adults in the United States of America who are

350
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 2: or have been married. The authors believe theirs is the

351
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 2: first academic study to examine the correlation between wedding expenses

352
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 2: and the length of marriages. Specifically, the study found that

353
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 2: women whose weddings cost more than twenty thousand dollars divorced

354
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 2: at a rate roughly one point six times higher than

355
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 2: women whose weddings cost between five ten thousand.

356
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: Specifically, only women, What about the men. I don't understand.

357
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: Why are.

358
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 2: Let's see if we get to that.

359
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 1: Maybe it means that women who spend a lot are

360
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: a they're not willing to settle for less than the best.

361
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 2: That's a good spin. The women who want to spend

362
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 2: more than twenty thousand dollars, which, honestly these days, from

363
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 2: what my palsay, is a pretty inexpensive wedding. Yeah, twenty k. Yeah,

364
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 2: that seems.

365
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 1: Twenty k is like kind of like a very normal

366
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,719
Speaker 1: amount of money. I would say, yeah, for a wedding,

367
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: and that's unfortunate. They yeah, But like when a DJ

368
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: is like I'm five grand because it's a wedding, then

369
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, well there's a quarter of all the

370
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: money you have.

371
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I went to a wedding that had the

372
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 2: best band in Manhattan, and I think it was like

373
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 2: thirty k for the band or twenty five thousand for

374
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 2: the band. And you're like, okay, well they better know

375
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 2: the hits, they better open and close with I want

376
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 2: to dance with somebody. Couples who spend one thousand dollars

377
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 2: or less on their big had a lower than average

378
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 2: divorce rate, which is interesting. So the cheaper the better.

379
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 2: The study won't be cheered on by the booming wedding industry,

380
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 2: which encourages couples to spend freely on everything from invitations

381
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 2: and flowers and videographers and champagne. You know, when you

382
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 2: have to fill space in a CNN article, Couples in

383
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 2: the United States spend an average The average in the

384
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 2: US is twenty nine and fifty eight dollars.

385
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: For their big debt, the average is twenty nine. Yes, okay,

386
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: see we're talking similar numbers here.

387
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 2: The wedding industry has long associated lavish weddings with longer

388
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 2: lasting marriages. Industry advertising as field norms that create the

389
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,239
Speaker 2: impression that spending large amounts on the wedding is a

390
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 2: signal of commitment or is necessary for a marriage to

391
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 2: be successful, but our overall findings provide little evidence to

392
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 2: support the validity of the wedding industry's general message that

393
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 2: connects expensive weddings with positive marital outcome. I like this, Yeah,

394
00:21:58,840 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 2: I like that.

395
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do agree that people are encouraged to spend

396
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: way more, take that money and buy a house. That's what,

397
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: like everyone wishes they had done after a wedding.

398
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 2: Yes, how do you feel this is a cold question

399
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 2: for you, no prep How do you feel about plus

400
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 2: ones at weddings?

401
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: How do I feel about plus ones at weddings? Think?

402
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 2: Great? Fine, okay, no more than marrier. I know.

403
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: I remember I remember being denied a plus one once,

404
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 1: oh of course and asking a friend like then, and

405
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 1: I remember him being like, hey, man, how long you've

406
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 1: been seeing her? And I was like, oh, it's a stranger.

407
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: I just met on the internet. And he was like, yeah,

408
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: how about not dude?

409
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, that's.

410
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: Fair, that's fair. But then after the wedding was over,

411
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: he was like, oh man, we had so many people canceled.

412
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: She totally could have come.

413
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 2: Well, that's I've been the plus one to Maybe I'll

414
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 2: go low, I'll say fifteen weddings and where people are

415
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 2: like I was invaded this wedding. I was dating somebody,

416
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 2: we broke up, we be of my date. And I've

417
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 2: done that so many times and they've all been really fun.

418
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I think I'm a good plus one too,

419
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 2: because I will talk to people. I just don't stand

420
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 2: there and eat and disappear. I'll be like, oh, nice

421
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 2: to meet you. No, I'm here with you know Ashley,

422
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 2: And they're like, who's Ashley. I'm like, I don't know

423
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 2: her that well myself. But she said, do you dance?

424
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 2: I said, yeah, dance, put on that way to Houston.

425
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 2: I want to dance with somebody. Open with it, close

426
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 2: with it, twice in the middle. It's interesting. And then

427
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 2: it was funny because you know how like when you're

428
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 2: on the bigger news sites, they always show all their

429
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 2: other links to stuff. There was an article about we

430
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 2: need to stop with plus ones at weddings. It's driving

431
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 2: the cost of weddings up. That's why interesting.

432
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I can see that. Also, if you have

433
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: less plus ones, then the wedding becomes more of a hookup, uh,

434
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: you know, opportunity. Because I definitely remember when like being

435
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: a wedding by myself. Oh yeah, when I was single

436
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: and then be like, all right, who what are you know?

437
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: Who's here? Who's single? And they'd be like no one,

438
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: You're the only person, and I'd be like, time for

439
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,360
Speaker 1: a loadly night at the wedding.

440
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 2: I guess I'm having sex with the cake move over.

441
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 2: This slice is Firmah. Yeah, I thought that was interesting.

442
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 2: And you know, so many of my r peers, but

443
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people that got married in

444
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 2: their backyards during twenty twenty and they are still together

445
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 2: and very happy. Yes, I think they were relieved, honestly.

446
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: What to have had a small wedding.

447
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the pressure's off. I was like, sorry,

448
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 2: we can't do it, and then they get hitched, and

449
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 2: then enough time went by where it was like sorry

450
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 2: if we let you down, But now we don't have

451
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 2: to look like zombies walking around in the reception and

452
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 2: being like hi, thank you so much, oh, thank you, yes,

453
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 2: thank you.

454
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a lot for one night. And also,

455
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: what's what the whole wedding industry thing of like charging

456
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 1: more for a wedding is unfortunate as well.

457
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 2: Yeah we uh, I think I did a thumbs up.

458
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 2: A week or two ago, somebody was like, I survived

459
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 2: my wedding. Thumbs up for myself because they said they're

460
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 2: cording their wedding planner. Their wedding coordinator just didn't listen

461
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 2: to anything they say. And I've heard that so many

462
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 2: I've heard people be like, we asked for this, and

463
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 2: they were like, you have to have these, and then

464
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 2: we said, we don't want the dais to be facing

465
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:23,920

Speaker 1: I can do that and we have a splash dance

473
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: the whole time I went.

474
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 2: I was in a wedding once and the wedding planner.

475
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 2: Something must have happened within the year at a different

476
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 2: wedding where she repeatedly told the groomsmen myself included to

477
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 2: bend Arnie. I mean, so you know, somebody fainted, somebody

478
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 2: passed out standing up there. But she was like bend

479
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 2: your knees. Guys, Hey, boys, bend your knees. And then

480
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 2: they were going through the walkthrough. Then you're gonna go

481
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 2: over and you're both gonna light this giant candle and

482
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 2: then you're gonna dump sand into a thing. And we're

483
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 2: all standing out there. And the woman while the officiants

484
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 2: walking through, what she's gonna say and do the wedding

485
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 2: planner in the back is going bend your knees.

486
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: Boys, bend your knees so that you don't pass out.

487
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 2: What if you stand straight legged long enough, you will faint?

488
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: What do you what?

489
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 2: That is true? When I was doing when I was

490
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 2: extra in that movie Annapolis or whatever, and we had

491
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 2: to go to boot camp, they were like, bend your

492
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 2: knees when you're in formation and your marching and stuff,

493
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 2: because if you stand straight legged long enough, you faint,

494
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 2: you pass.

495
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: This is this is amazing that I've made it through

496
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: more than half my life and I'm just finding this out.

497
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 2: Well, it is weird because you're a performer that you

498
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 2: didn't know that, But I mean, America's funny. Some videos

Speaker 2: has been on for forty five years with this exact thing.

500
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 2: It's always the guy third grimsman in is standing there

501
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 2: and he just eats it. But yeah, you have to.

502
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 2: You can't stand straight leg for more than like fifteen

503
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 2: minutes or you will potentially faint fall over. You gotta

504
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 2: bend your knees, boys, I mean yelling it in a church.

505

00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:34,560

559
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 2: in like twenty twelve. It's called the Lezathlon. Have you

560
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 2: ever been to a les athlon?

561
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: I have not.

562
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 2: I don't know if they still do it, but I

563
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 2: went to one in Alesian Park in Los Angeles. I

564
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 2: was there with three lesbian friends and one gay male

565
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 2: friend and I was the only straight dude in the group.

566
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 2: And it it was a huge group of lesbian team

567
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:03,719
Speaker 2: sports nice, some traditional tug of war classic, some not

568
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 2: traditional oil wrestling. Now, if you think for one second

569
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 2: there was anything central about that oil wrestling, you would

570
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 2: be so wrong. It was the most intense, uh violent,

571
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 2: some would say barbaric wrestling I've ever seen my life

572
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 2: where teams would send their biggest or strongest lesbian contestant

573
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 2: to wrestle in a tent where there's oil on the

574
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 2: mat and they were going hard. I won't say it

575
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 2: was the most welcomed I've ever been to any event

576
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 2: in my life. I won't say that anybody actually said

577
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 2: anything to me. But they did do one game. I

578
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 2: don't know if it was the last game. I think

579
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:48,959
Speaker 2: it was the second last game. But it was called

580
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 2: Hungry Hungry Lesbos and it was the funniest thing I've

581
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 2: ever seen in my life. What it was is they

582
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 2: had a giant pile of balls, like ball pit balls.

583
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 2: They were all red blue I think they were red,

584
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 2: and then a lesbian on their belly on a four

585
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 2: wheel little rolling cart thing okay, and then another lesbian

586
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 2: holding that lesbian's ankles and then the laying down lesbian

587
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 2: had a hamper, like a close hamper, and they would

588
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 2: wheel them out and clamp down on as many balls

589
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 2: as they couldn't reel them back. They were like six

590
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 2: or seven teams, just awesome. Hungry hungry Lesbos was like

591
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 2: one of my first months or two in Los Angeles,

592
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 2: and I was like, if this is what Ellie has

593
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 2: to offer, I have made the right choice.

594
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: I kind of want to do hungry hungry bananas.

595
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 2: Or lesbos. Hungry hungry lesbos where everybody you roll somebody

596
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 2: out on their belly while holding their ankles and they

597
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 2: stretch out with a hamper, grab as many little balls

598
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 2: as they can roll them back, and then they just

599
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 2: keep doing it t all the balls are gone. It

600
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 2: was the best sport. It should be a true Olympic sport.

601
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: It sounds absolutely fantastic. And you could do it with

602
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: like a skateboard, right, you could, like you could like

603
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: lay on a skateboard, right.

604
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. They were all on these like it was probably

605
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 2: what they sell like public school gyms. It was like

606
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 2: like a roller scooter hockey, yeah, little dolly thing. Yeah,

607
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 2: if any bananimals we have quite a few lesbian banana

608
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 2: especially in southern California. If you were at the Lesathlon

609
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 2: a a Lesion Park in either twenty twelve or twenty thirteen,

610
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 2: and you know what I'm talking about, and you have

611
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 2: a photo of hungry hungry Lesbos or a video that

612
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 2: you will share with us, I would love to post

613
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 2: this in our stories. It was the funniest event I've

614
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 2: ever seen.

615
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 1: I really want to recreate it in some way at

616
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,479
Speaker 1: bananas Fest. That sounds absolutely well.

617
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 2: If we donate at all to a GLAD, maybe we

618
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 2: can do it.

619
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's five bucks to play and all the money

620

626
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: A large crowd turned out Saturday to see a new

627
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: landmark in Minneapolis. This was, by the way, sent him

628
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: by two people. At first, I thought the first person

629
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: to send it in was Courtney shress the and I

630
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: told Courtney I would be doing it. Great job, but

631
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 1: then I saw a copy he set sent it in

632
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: the day before to my personal account. A great and

633
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: so I'm giving I'm giving them both the shout out.

634
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: This was in CBS News doesn't gather to watch sharpening

635
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: a giant number two pencil Minneapolis. A large crowd turned

636
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: out Saturday to see a new landmark in Minneapolis, a

637
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 1: giant pencil near the Lake of the Isles. John Higgins,

638
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: a homeowner on East Lake of the Isle Parkway, This

639
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: dude is awesome, commissioned an artist to turn his day

640
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: damaged burr oak tree into a twenty foot tall number

641
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: two pencil. This is called the Low Ti Tree. We thought,

642
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 1: let's do something basic, simple that we can execute, but

643
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: something that's classic, Higgins told WCCO last month. The tree

644
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: was severely damaged during a twenty seventeen thunderstorm. Higgins said

645
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: losing the old oak tree was like losing a friend. However,

646
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: with some encouragement from the community, he decided to turn

647
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 1: the stump into a work of art. David Reese, our buddy,

648
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: an arteasonal pencil sharpener, was among those who gathered to

649
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,280
Speaker 1: see the finished work on Saturday. One of the reasons

650
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: I like dealing with pencils is very nostalgic for me

651
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: because I use pencils all the time when I was

652
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 1: in elementary school. This is what David Reese is saying.

653
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: And I just realized that this is not actually about

654
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: the event, because it's just about Reese noe. This article

655
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: is actually about when it was unveiled. Oh, I see

656
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: what just happened on June third was the first annual

657
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: sharpening of the pencil. It's so cool. First off, they

658
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: have all these dancing pencils that come out. Then two

659
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: criers dressed in like medieval uniforms come out with a

660
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: giant scroll and and like officially named like that day,

661
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: like Day of the Pencil or something by the mayor.

662
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: And then all these dancing pencils are there. There's all

663
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: these other events. It's pouring rain. Hundreds of people came

664
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: out to this thing. Only dozens came out to the

665
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: to the initial unveiling, but now like hundreds of people

666
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: come a month to come see this giant pencil, and

667
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: then they bring out this. When I say that this

668
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 1: this pencil is huge and it's beautiful. It looks really good.

669
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: It's a slang angle. The artist did it with a chainsaw.

670
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:50,760
Speaker 1: He's a chainsaw artist.

671
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 2: How do they do it?

672
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: Gorgeously? And so then they take but weirdly, over the year,

673
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: the tip of the pencil gets just a little like

674
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: just get some unsharpened.

675
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 2: I don't tell me about it, but tell me about it.

676
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: From I get on a wind rain. I have no

677
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 1: idea how.

678
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 2: It's in Minnesota right there. They get every thing out there.

679
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, get it. So they have custom built

680
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 1: this five foot tall pencil sharpener.

681
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 2: Man.

682
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: Man, they bring it up. They built like a little

683
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 1: thing around it. They bring it up to the top,

684
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: place it over it, and then four people have to

685
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 1: do it at the same time. They rotate it around

686
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 1: and then take it off and it's sharpened, and then

687
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: they throw the shavings out and the shavings are gigantic.

688
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: The shavings are like two and a half feet long.

689
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 2: I'd that's modern art.

690
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: Awesome.

691
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 2: We gotta go. We gotta do a Bananas live in

692
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 2: Minneapolis the weekend of or the weekend before, so that

693
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 2: we can go and then go with a bunch of

694
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 2: animals and support this this is fantastic.

695
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, this was one. By the way, this was written

696
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: by Cole Primo. Put that in your best.

697
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 2: Book of names. That's a good name.

698
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: Cole Primo. That's up there with Mac Primo.

699
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 2: Well Mac Primo's like, that's the Primo name. Mac Primo,

700
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 2: our buddy, great artist. Probably could also build a giant

701
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 2: pencil sharpener. Well, I want to go. I love small

702
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 2: town stuff, and I hope as people get more sick

703
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 2: or sicker, as some people would say, when people start

704
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 2: putting away social media and go back out in the

705
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 2: world to have real life experiences, I hope stuff like

706
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 2: this escalates and becomes more common in every town. It's funny,

707
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 2: it's great, it's great, something to look forward to.

708
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,720
Speaker 1: Speaking of that, do you remember a lot of people

709
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: email messaged me agreeing with me that they're looking for

710
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: a middle school and high school that bands.

711
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:56,720
Speaker 2: Do you remember them?

712
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 1: And LAUSD two day voted to ban cell phones from

713
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: schools and middle schools, and I'm psyched. And then you

714
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,760
Speaker 1: go into the comments of these articles and these lunatics

715
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:15,240
Speaker 1: who just want their kids to have phones is crazy.

716
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 1: It's crazy to me. In school, in school, they need

717
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,320
Speaker 1: their phone in school, it's like, they don't we we

718
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: really did it for so long without them.

719
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, we did it forever without them, until the last

720
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 2: ten years really, because even the transition was you know,

721
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 2: phones were around, but they used to police it hard,

722
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 2: and then the phones got smarter and smarter, and then

723
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 2: you know, my mom was a teacher towards the end

724
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 2: when phones were coming in and she confiscated one and

725
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 2: the kid had two other phones. What so the kid

726
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 2: just had three phones like it almost one was like

727
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 2: a decoy basically, where it was like.

728
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: Okay, oh my god, that's crazy.

729
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. But and you know we're it's like, oh, they

730
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 2: need it, we better start using it for research. You're like,

731
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 2: never in a trillion years is that what they're going

732
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 2: to use it for. Unless they're the gifted and talented

733
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 2: kids and trying to get into MIT, then they might

734
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 2: do it. But the rest of us would have instantly

735
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 2: been on snapchat instantly.

736
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: Of course.

737
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 2: Well I'm glad to hear that. Is it a bill

738
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 2: or is it official? Are they trying to make it

739
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 2: happen or is it happening?

740
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: They voted and it's going to go into effect January

741
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. The issue of course, is how to

742
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: enforce it. So that's the thing. If it's just like

743
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 1: a lame duck policy, it's not gonna do anything. Like

744
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:35,879
Speaker 1: what they have to do is they have to have,

745
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 1: you know, yonder pouches or something that the kids have

746
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: to put their phones in when they get to school,

747
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: like that sort of thing. It needs to be enforced.

748
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: But that's what everyone like. I saw a bunch of

749
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: comments where people were just like, yeah, great sent, good

750
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 1: luck enforcing it. You know, I do know.

751
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 2: See I go, as a childless man, I say, build

752
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 2: fair day, Kate, just over the entire school. Make those

753
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,800

754
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,280
Speaker 2: you kickn have their phone. It just won't get anywhere

Speaker 2: an open house property. Real estate agent Julie Bundock allegedly

776
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 2: burned down a house as she was preparing to show

777
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 2: it to potential buyers. The home is estimated to be

778
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 2: worth just under two million, and her employer, Domain Residential

779
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 2: Northern Beaches, is now being ordered to pay more than

780
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 2: five hundred and fifty four four hundred United States dollars

781
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 2: in damages. According to news dot com dot Au, Bundock

782
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 2: had been preparing for an open house at property owner

783
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 2: Peter allen Bush's four bedroom home in Riverview Road on

784
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 2: Riverview Road in Avalon Beach that all sounds very charming

785
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 2: when she spotted that the current renters had left some

786
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:02,240
Speaker 2: bedding out on the deck to dry per the outlet

787
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 2: bun duck through the sheets onto a shelf before turning

788
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 2: on a light above them. The sheets ended up catching

789
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 2: fire due to the heat from the light.

790
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: What that seems great? Who in their right mind would

791
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 1: think that sheets would catch on fire from a light

792
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: light bulb?

793
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, not me, not this old boy.

794
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:23,879
Speaker 1: I think this is going to be a very interesting case.

795
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're going to be able to

796
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: pull this one off. Also, does this person not have insurance?

797
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 1: What's going on?

798
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 2: I don't know about Australia stuff. I just don't know

799
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 2: about Australia.

800
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: I don't know.

801
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,919
Speaker 2: Maybe even their lights can kill you over there.

802
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 1: I know they just made this is our firelight.

803
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 2: You don't have firelights, no shades, just firelights in every room.

804
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 2: I was on Reddit looking at something and they have

805
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 2: a thing. I don't know if it's a subreddit or

806
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 2: it's just like a maps thing, but it's like you

807
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:56,879
Speaker 2: circle parts of the world and people always write what

808
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 2: goes on up there or what goes on here? And

809
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 2: they had a circle in like north central Australia, so

810
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:08,720
Speaker 2: middle top of the big Old continent, and the comments

811
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 2: were incredible. There were a couple of towns, but they

812
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,240
Speaker 2: were like, this is where there's gators in the oceans

813
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 2: or crocodiles in the oceans. This is where there's crocodiles

814
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 2: on land. This is where there's every type of poisonous stake.

815
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 2: This is where the most poisonous jellyfish are. And then

816
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 2: some people were like, moved away five years ago, miss

817
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 2: it all the time, and it's so funny. I gotta

818
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 2: go over there and spend as long as you can

819
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 2: legally stay without a vis over there.

820
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: It's really cool. It is fascinating place. I really do

821
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 1: enjoy Australia a lot.

822
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 2: We get tons of stories there, We have tons of

823
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 2: listeners there. I do want to just explode. Man, I'm

824
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 2: gonna have to go like five trips to really get

825
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:45,359
Speaker 2: a grasp of it.

826
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:45,840
Speaker 1: Ah.

827
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 2: Anyway, Bush's home and its contents were destroyed in the blaze,

828
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 2: leading to the property owner and the four people renting

829
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 2: the home at the time to take Bundock to court

830
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 2: on Tuesday. Bush claimed in court that Bundock told him,

831
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 2: oh my god, Pete, I think I've just burnt your

832
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 2: house down. He also asserted that his defacto partner, which

833
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 2: I don't know what that means Lynn Emmanuel is that

834
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,320
Speaker 2: the guy that created at Hamilton.

835
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 1: Guy as just being like, this is Lynn, She's my

836
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 1: de facto partner. I refuse to recognize her.

837
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 2: I don't say girlfriend, I won't even say partner. I

838
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 2: will say de facto partner, because there's only four women

839
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 2: in town, and Lynn is two of them.

840
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 1: That's linb that's Lynn Miranda Manuel, Lynn Lynn de facto.

841
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 2: Lynn Emmanuel was present when she said it. I had

842
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 2: been doing some tidying up. I collected some sheets drying

843
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 2: on the veranda and threw them on top of a

844
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 2: free standing metal shelving in the bedroom under the stairs.

845
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 2: I just threw them there, Pete, right up against the wall,

846
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 2: right up against the light on the wall. And I

847
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 2: think that's what started the fire, Bundock allegedly told the owner,

848
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,479
Speaker 2: according to the news outlet. According to the News, Chief

849
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 2: Judge Inequity Justice David hammer Schlog ruled that Bundock actively

850
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 2: created a risk of fire and the consequential and the

851
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 2: consequent harm and order domain Residential Northern Beaches to pay

852
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 2: Bush an estimated four hundred and eighty three thousand, two

853
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:22,240
Speaker 2: hundred and ten usd Wow Wow Wow.

854
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: Wowie woo wie.

855
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 2: That's tough. The agency was also ordered to pay a

856
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 2: combined amount of seventy nine thy, two hundred and forty

857
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:34,359
Speaker 2: four US dollars to the four renters who lost their

858
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 2: belongings in the fire. The company was then told by

859
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 2: the judge to pay the combined interest on the total amount,

860
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 2: approximately five hundred and sixty two thousand, five hundred and

861
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,360
Speaker 2: twenty seven bucks. As we say here in the States,

862
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 2: that a fire might be caused by putting or throwing

863
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:55,399
Speaker 2: betting up against a burning light is obvious. That risk

864
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 2: was plainly foreseeable, said Bundo and Bundock, all to have

865
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 2: known this. Hammer Schlog said her evidence was clearly colored

866
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 2: by a height and awareness that she said she had

867
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 2: caused the catastrophe.

868
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:13,839
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, lights are different in Australia.

869
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,760
Speaker 2: They are. You can't even buy whatever tungsten light bulbs

870
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 2: in LA anymore. Everything's led now. Two lights with my

871
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 2: bare hands right now, and they're at maximum temperature. I

872
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 2: mean I'm touching them.

873
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, They're a maximum temperature seventy two degrees. Actually

874
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:37,919
Speaker 1: quite pleasant, quite pleasant. I love that Australia's out here

875
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 1: making lights that are just like that. A judge is like,

876
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 1: it's obvious that if you put a light up against

877
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 1: a sheet, a thick sheet.

878
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 2: It's absolutely to catch up. I mean, we could be

879
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 2: glad nobody's hurt, but I'm snuggling up to every led

880
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 2: in my house. I'm snuggling. I got the dimmers going

881
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 2: cold and lonely nights by myself. I turn on all

882
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 2: the lights and just rub them against them. That's just

883
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 2: something that drives me wild and keeps me warm. Damn

884
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 2: isn't that wild?

885
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 1: That is so crazy? And it's also it's the little

886
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: differences that you get from traveling. Scottie, that's the killer

887
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 1: light lights.

888
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 2: I better, I better go on Babbel and just pay

889
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 2: attention to Australia because they have different words for things

890
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:27,760
Speaker 2: and I need to know them all.

891
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 1: Well, Scottie, Thank you so much, Buddy. That was a

892
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 1: delightful episode.

893
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 2: I love the solo apps, even though they're truly duets.

894
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 2: Thanks to everybody who listens to the Banana's podcast. Thanks

895
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,800
Speaker 2: everybody who told us to follow after Apple Ditch Bananas

896
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,280
Speaker 2: and dumped on us so hard. We love making the podcasts.

897
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 2: It's so so fun for us. He got the all

898
00:48:53,960 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 2: that one. Bananas is an exactly right media production.

899
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 1: Our producer and engineer is Katie Levine.

900
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 2: The catchy Bananas theme song was composed and performed by Kahon.

901
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 1: Artwork for Bananas was designed by Travis Millard.

902
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 2: And our benevolent overlords are the Great Karen Kilgareff and

903

Speaker 2: Georgia Hartstart

904
