Speaker 1: there ever was.

00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 2: Oh well, Scottie, I am currently in a crawl space.

18
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I see that.

19
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: In a crawl space in a garage in Scent on

20
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: the central coast of California. Good place to be, yeah,

21
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 2: a good place to be. We're not in Los Angeles

22
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: right now, Thortfully. Our house is okay, and we're just

23
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: up here sitting it out because we got a little

24
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 2: guy with sensitive lungs.

25
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: Well, I can understand why because the air here is

26
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: not good. Thank you to everybody. The wildfires were as

27
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: bad as they look. They decimated several huge parts of

28
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: the city, and I personally have at least six friends

29
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: that lost their homes and everything in Alta, Dina and

30
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,639
Speaker 1: the I have friends the Palisades, so I haven't heard from.

31
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: I know they're alive, so but they are They lost

32
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: everything too, So it really was awful. It was terrible

33
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: and bizarre and scary.

34
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 2: I saw something about whenever people ask about things that

35
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 2: happened in California, you know, if there's an earthquake or something,

36
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: if there's a mud slide, people always reach out to

37
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: like are you okay, And it's always not as bad

38
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 2: as it seems on the news. And this was a

39
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: tweet from somebody I think it was maybe Adam McKay

40
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: who then said, but this time it was way worse

41
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 2: than people understood.

42
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: I agree it was insane. I agree that was crazy,

43
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: but you and I both had to evacuate. We got

44
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: all we got all our people pets out of there,

45
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: and it was thankfully you and I dodged. It was

46
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,399
Speaker 1: just luck of the draw that our houses didn't burn down.

47
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: I was explaining it to friends that the way the

48
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,119
Speaker 1: fires were popping up when the was at its strongest,

49
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: like we're talking like.

50
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 2: Eighty miles an hour, like trees are bending over.

51
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: It was when I go to a bar. Some places

52
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: call them a pub, some call them a tavern, a

53
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: social house. I if I'm playing darts, I can guarantee

54
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: you can.

55
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: Call them tips. Some call them little missiles.

56
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, danger badminton, danger birdies as some people call them

57
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: danger birdies. But the point is I know I'm going

58
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: to hit that dart board every single time, doesn't matter

59
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: how drunk I am.

60
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 2: Wow.

61
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: What I don't know is where that dart is going. Yeah,

62
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: no idea if it's going to hit a one or

63
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: a twenty or an eleven or a bull's eye. I

64
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: do not. And that's what the fire map felt like.

65
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: When we were auch on. We got to give it up. Also,

66
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: I mean, has any app ever stepped up harder than

67
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: maybe Zoom during the pandemic.

68
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: Watch them, Watch Duty, Watch Duty. It was six thirty

69
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 2: of the morning on Tuesday, and it was like Watch

70
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: Duty was the or no Wednesday. I guess we left

71
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: on Wednesday. Yeah, but like six thirty in the morning,

72
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: Laurd's talking about watching it. I'm like, I've never heard,

73
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 2: what are you talking about. It's six thirty the morning.

74
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: You're giving me a new app to deal with right away?

75
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: Oh exactly, and also great app. I think it's a

76
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: nonprofit and it saved so many lives. It's an incredible app.

77
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 1: And also thanks to the dozens of friends and family

78
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: who don't live in California who also discovered the Watch

79
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: Study app, who not only told me about it, but

80
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: we're also sending me updates from so far away to

81
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: make sure I was safe. So many ban animals reach

82
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: out from around the world ask if Kurt and I

83
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: were okay. We, like I said, we both evacuated. We're

84
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: lucky our homes are not destroyed. Everybody, there's been a

85
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: huge outporting of support, which is lovely because you can

86
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: either stay heartbroken and feel terrible, or you can feel

87
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: excited to contribute and do something in your own way

88
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: and to support. If you can't support Elie wildfires, you

89
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: could do something in your own community, town, or house,

90
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: and so turn your frown's upside down and get it

91
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: excited about how you can participate and make things better.

92
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: The people out here I try to volunteer two places,

93
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: and they were like, we're good on volunteers at the moment,

94
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: and we don't. We're not accepting any other donations because

95
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: we're overwhelmed with clothing, groceries, water. It's pretty amazing that

96
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: in this hellscape that happened so quickly, how fast, so

97
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: many people stepped up to do the right thing.

98
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 2: It was really amazing. And you know what I was

99
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 2: thinking about that, I think the sweet spot is going

100
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: to be in two weeks because after like people start

101
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 2: getting back to normal life, then there all of a sudden,

102
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,119
Speaker 2: they're working again. You know. Like that's when I think

103
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: that I'm going to go and volunteer as soon as

104
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: I get yeah, because.

105
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: They'll be happy to do it. I'm going to go

106
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: do some clean up. Oh my gosh, I yes. But anyways,

107
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: thank you to everybody who support and also Kurtibe and

108
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: I did a go fundme. We're gonna leave it up

109
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: till the end of January. It's a bad hand bananas

110
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,119
Speaker 1: and basically donate whatever you want. Or you can draw

111
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: a banana with your non dominant hand and you get

112
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: your friends to give you three dollars to show it

113
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,119
Speaker 1: to them and then throw it in there. We're already

114
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: up to forty two hundred dollars. It all it's for

115
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: it all goes directly to victims and firefighters, and it's

116
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: it's a big deal. All that money. People are gonna

117
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: need money in a big way because they lost it all.

118
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 2: They lost everything, I really did. One of my children's

119
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 2: teachers lost her home and so like that's gonna be,

120
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 2: you know, an entire thing for the whole rest of

121
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 2: the year. You know, we don't a lot of money

122
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 2: so that she can hopefully get some sort of transitional

123
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 2: housing going. But her you know, her husband has Parkinson's

124
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: and it's just you know, she's an older woman to

125
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 2: be teaching for thirty five years. I mean, these stories

126
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 2: are like over and over and over and over and again.

127
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: So if you can go. A lot of people are

128
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,679
Speaker 2: hosting gofundmes that have not been met yet, especially Megan

129
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: Gaily and Chris Garcia. They're both featuring people that they

130
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 2: know specifically in Alta Dina. Check out their Instagram accounts,

131
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 2: and it's really helpful if you want to just go

132
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 2: do something right now.

133
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: That is such a good point. And even if you

134
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: don't know what to do in your town. We have

135
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: a Bananimals group for the American Red Cross for blood

136
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: drives or plately drives. It's pretty incredible. We are currently

137
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: ranked three hundred and twenty eighth in the United States.

138
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: We are above Creighton University. We're above JP Morgan Chase.

139
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: That's not surprising, that's surprising.

140
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: That's of course we are.

141
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: This one might blow your socks off, Kurt. We are

142
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: ranked higher than Hubbs corn Maze, so the good people,

143
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: but hubs are getting hubs corn Maze. I don't know

144
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: what that is, but we are behind Emory University. So

145
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: please sign up on the app for Bananimals and donate

146
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: blood in the next three weeks and will consider it

147
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: a win for LA wildfires.

148
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 2: I've always been thinking, is there a way to gamify

149
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 2: blood donation? And thank god the American Red Cross figured

150
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 2: it out. Yes they did, putting people in competition to

151
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 2: see who could donate the more blood.

152
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,239
Speaker 1: Kurt. We're three hundred and twenty eighth out of sixty

153
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: nine thousand teams.

154
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: My god, that's amazing.

155
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: So we are called the Banannimals. Sign up for the app,

156
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: go donate blood. That's something you can do in your

157
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: own time and your own and your own town. But

158

00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, people to see an oasis cover Band,

206
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 2: which is one of the most northern British pubs you

207
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 2: can visit, and they got snowed in for I think

208
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 2: eleven day, seven days or something like that, and so

209
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 2: it's just all these oasis. A man stuck in this

210
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 2: pub for like seven or ten days.

211
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: It was incredible.

212
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 2: It has happened again. It has happened again.

213
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: So jealous.

214
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 2: This is from the BBC snowed in pub guests rescued

215
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 2: after five days. A group of guests and staff who've

216
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 2: been stranded at Britain's highest pub have finally been able

217
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 2: to leave after a five day snow in. A snowploufs

218
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 2: Low Lower and Gritters managed to get through the six

219
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 2: foot drifts blocking the tan Hill in in the Yorkshire Dales,

220
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 2: so the twenty three pubgoers, including a four year old

221
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 2: child and six workers could get home fun. The pub

222
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 2: manager told the BBC. More staff was also finally able

223
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 2: to get to the pub to take over there is.

224
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 2: She said, I went to work on New Year's Eve

225
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 2: and only got back yesterday. That was on the seventh

226
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: I think speaking about spending so long cooped up with

227
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: twenty three St Hay said, everyone was amazing. No one

228
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 2: was annoying. That's a lie. That four year old was

229
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 2: definitely a four year old that can't go outside for

230
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 2: five days. Yeah, no, unbearable. She also said few of

231
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 2: the staff missed some major milestones while they were locked in. Okay,

232
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 2: one mister daughter's eighteenth birthday. Another missed the birth of

233
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 2: her granddaughter who she's that's huge since met for the

234
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 2: first time. There was also two Australian guests in the group. Also,

235
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 2: of course they are not aware that on New Year's

236
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 2: Eve two years ago, this exact same thing happened. Is

237
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 2: no one aware of that they bring a four year.

238
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: Old to this, that they're just like the four year old. Yes,

239
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: because I would go intentionally to get snowed in. I

240
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: want to go Tanhill and get snowed in for a

241
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: week and eat pub food. And I don't know what

242
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: they play up there. I don't know what they play

243
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: in Northern England. They should start doing mandolins.

244
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 2: They should just start saying like, come here, you're we

245
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 2: do a lock in. We do a snow in lock

246
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 2: in for five loves. Every I would go. That would

247
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 2: be such a blast. And then they interview this member

248
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 2: of staff, Ellie Applegarth, who was not even there for

249

281
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 2: stopped at New Year's and then two days later we

282
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 2: had to fly to to say go bye to a

283
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 2: relative who was dying, and it was a very difficult

284
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 2: situation that I'm not at liberty to give details about.

285
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 2: And I was just like, oh, we're drinking now. And

286
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 2: then we got back and it was two days later

287
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 2: and then I stopped drinking, and then two days later

288
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 2: it started again. Oh yeah, the fire started and I

289
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 2: was like, oh am, I locked in a hotel now

290
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 2: with two children, I'm gonna drink.

291
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're fine. You could start it whenever you want

292
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: to consecutive days take a staycation. These are hand of God.

293
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: Hand of job has come down and flicked us.

294
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 2: I was feeling really guilty about it, especially today, of

295
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 2: just like not being back or anything. And it's just

296
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 2: because of the little ones, you know, But that like that,

297
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 2: I don't know that guilt of like I should just

298
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 2: be back at work, I should be getting getting in

299
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 2: the grind again, you know, And it just like it

300
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 2: feels like it's we're still in the middle of it,

301
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 2: of it of a traumatic experience. Like the fires are out,

302
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 2: they're not even out. They're still burning.

303
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,960

305
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: And they are in shock. Yeah, they don't realize it's

306
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: just could be. I mean, I mentally prepared to go,

307
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: what do I do if this happened? If if I

308
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:36,800

312
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: those people, you know, people that work in movie theaters

313
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: don't love the smell of popcorn. It's like if you

314
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: work at that place and you're like, let's let's punch out.

315
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: I already ran the glassware, and then you realize that

316
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: you're going to have to work the kitchens and pour

317
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: the beers for another six days without.

318
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 2: Without stop, without a break, working essentially sixteen hours a day.

319
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 1: As somebody who's bartended, I would have ended up being

320
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: an American who wants to talk too much. Generally, I

321
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: would have been like, can I bartend tomorrow? Can tomorrow

322
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: be Scotty Bartend's day. I'll do a great job, And

323
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 1: I would again I would like this too much. I'm built.

324
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: This is like, I'm so envious of these people. It

325
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: just seems like such a fun adventure.

326
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 2: Have you ever been snowed in anywhere?

327
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 1: Sure, a lot of places, I'm sure. On the pot

328
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: I talked about it once, but on a youth group trip,

329
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: we got snowed in in the nineties at the ski resort,

330
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: and all our parents just Western Union money or called

331
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: the hotel and put their credit cards on file. It

332
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: was supposed to be two nights, three days of skiing, yeah,

333
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 1: and I think it ended up being like five nights,

334
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: six days, and it was. It was like little club med.

335
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: I was like, I knew two people, and my two

336
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: roommates were guys from my school. Actually, my buddy Jason

337
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: lived on my street. And then I didn't know really

338
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: anybody else that well. And by the end I had

339
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: all these new friends. We were all skiing and snowboarding

340
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:12,959
Speaker 1: and powder which none of us had ever done. But

341
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: then because our parents were all nice enough to put

342
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: their credit cards on fire, we're getting like pizza, room

343
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 1: service and just hot chocolates flowing like wine. It was.

344
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: They had an arcade there so you could and they

345
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: had pull tables and air hockey and all the fun stuff.

346
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: So we're just like hanging out in the arcade like

347
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: it's our bar because we're all twelve years old. Thirteen

348
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: years old. It was fabulous. It was a drink because

349
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: they tried to get us out of there. The only

350
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: I guess thrilling part is they were like, okay, guys,

351
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: it stopped snowing, and then the coach bus couldn't make

352
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 1: it up the hill, so they actually had to stop

353
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: and wait until the snow and the ice melted off

354
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: the road. Because they tried, we drove up and then

355
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: one hundred and however, me people fit on a bus

356
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: drifted all the way back down, and they tried one

357
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: more time and they're like, Nope, that's that's quite enough.

358
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 2: Terrifying. Oh, that's so scary to be in a in

359
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,719
Speaker 2: a situation where you're not driving and it's a large

360
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 2: vehicle that just could like tip over.

361
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a very exciting weekend, but not as

362
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: an adult. I'm trying to think I've been stuck. Besides,

363
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: you know, the COVID nineteen virus that locked us all

364
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: in pretty good, but this, Yeah, no, I mean we're

365
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: a little locked in right now. We're not supposed to

366
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: go outside.

367
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean I feel that way

368
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 2: as well. I remember once it was college. It was

369
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 2: a second year. I was in Baltimore, and I did

370
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 2: not expect a snowstorm in Baltimore. But this was like

371
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 2: one of the worst snowstorms in Baltimore in like twenty

372
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 2: five years.

373
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: That's the same one.

374
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, that's the same one.

375
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: So it was like, yeah, we're six years apart or whatever.

376
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, So it was like so it was like six

377
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 2: feet of snow, and I had decided that I came

378
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 2: back after like the day after Christmas, because I was like,

379
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 2: oh no, Mom, I'm not staying with you. I'm getting

380
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 2: back to my friends. And we were staying in the

381
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 2: dorms and the dorms were like eight stories or something,

382
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 2: and it was empty. It was like because it was

383
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 2: the day. It was like the December twenty sixth, do

384
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? So it was like twenty

385
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 2: sixth through the first or second, and it was the

386
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 2: four of my four roommates and UH and me and

387
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 2: I had gotten weed in Jersey and I'd like brought

388
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 2: it back up and we were just gonna like and

389
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 2: then it snowed and snowed six feet, so we're just

390
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 2: like stuck. Couldn't go outside smoking weed all the time.

391
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 2: And but there was a like skeleton staff that ran

392
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 2: the the the cafeteria on the dining hall, so he

393
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 2: would schedule art. It became so crazy. We would wake

394
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 2: up around six pm and go have dinner for breakfast,

395
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 2: and then stay up all night long smoking weed and

396
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 2: listening to music, and then go to bed as the

397
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 2: sun rose and have breakfast for dinner and then go

398
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 2: to bed. And we did that for four day straight

399
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 2: until I finally dug my car out using a trash can,

400
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 2: like one of those like bathroom trash cans, you know,

401
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 2: like you get issued in your dorm. That bathroom trash

402
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 2: can was the thing. We dug it out, and then

403
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 2: we just started like driving around Baltimore like snowy, snowy

404
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 2: Baltimore at night.

405
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: Man, that's so fun.

406
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 2: And it was so fun a snow It was so

407
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 2: fun because the snow in is like, oh, there's no

408
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 2: there's no there are other than like you know, car

409
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 2: accidents and stuff like that, and of course people who

410
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 2: don't have heat and stuff. It's more just like, oh,

411
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 2: this is a this is a true snow day. You know,

412
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 2: there's no climate emergency. It's just like, oh, it's just snow.

413
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 2: Or at least it used to not be that way.

414
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: I mean it was always that way, even at UMass

415
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 1: when class wasn't canceled, but you know, you would and

416
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: people really did do this. This feels like something out

417
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: of a storybook, but it's really true. They would steal

418
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: the trays from dining hall and then we would go sledding.

419
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: There were different areas on campus that had really big hills,

420
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: but it was very fun to do. So I have

421
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: to say, the biggest betrayal of my whole life was

422
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 1: when I was at University of Massachusetts Amhurst. I would

423
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: argue the dining halls of dining commons were some of

424
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 1: the worst food ever presented to human beings in the

425
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 1: modern era. Like you get used to it because you're

426
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: young and you're hungry, but like we would walk extra

427
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: far in whatever weather because this one dining hall served

428
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: cheese pizza. That's it. It was so bad everywhere else

429
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: that you would walk for this bad pizza. There's one

430
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: guy that would make omelets named Angus on weekends, as

431
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: we call them, like the omelet Lord or the omlet God.

432
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 1: That was a big deal. You'd wait in line for

433
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: forty minutes for one guy named Angus to make you

434
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: one omelet. So the food, so we ate chicken pucks,

435
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 1: and they saw they had steam scrod, which is a

436
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: type of fish. Scrod is you know what college kid

437
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: doesn't want to eat scrod before a night on the town.

438
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: And chicken pocks were just breaded chicken cutlets that you

439
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: would stack three. You would do roll chicken cutlet, mayo,

440
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: tomato chicken cutlet, letuce, tomato, barbecue sauce, top of the

441
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: role that got us through a lot of the times.

442
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: But now U Mass is maybe the best dining halls

443
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: in the entire country.

444
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 2: Food are much better.

445
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 1: They are the bredible and they feed all the leftover

446
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 1: food to the hog farm because there's an agricultural U

447
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: Mass was an agricultural school first. But yeah, I've recently

448
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: read like reviews of like ranking food at state colleges

449
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: or universities that U Mass is like number one, And

450
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, you sons of bitches. The amount of scrot

451
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: I shoved down my gullet I would make Herman Melville weep.

452
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 2: It was horrible. I mean, like it is what is

453
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 2: it about the world in general? Because it's not just

454
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 2: U Mass. It's like the world in general everywhere the

455
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 2: food has gotten better. Like what was it before? Like

456
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 2: were people just did they not? What happened? Is it globalization?

457
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 2: Is it our like access to like other tastes that

458
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 2: people were like, you know what, maybe we shouldn't boil

459
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 2: our steak anymore and we should instead we should instead

460
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 2: grill it and make it taste good with salt, you know,

461
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 2: like where was the switch and why did it happen?

462
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 2: I would read a whole book about that.

463
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: I think it was the nineties because in the eighties

464
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: it was microwave era, it was TV dinner, it was

465
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: like microwaveable foods. Isn't this amazing? And yeah, there's some

466

Speaker 1: heavy hitters came out of that. Easy Mac I'm sure

467
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 1: came out of that timeframe. But then yeah, some it

468
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: must have been the Internet. It's probably the rise of

469
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: social media and other people looking at what other people

470
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: are eating and saying I want that.

Speaker 2: my food is terrible.

473
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,879

517
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: Don't you worry. It all worked out.

518
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's the cutest coyote I've ever seen. Every coyote

519
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 2: I see in LA looks like he is out there

520
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 2: looking to eat anything that moves. This guy looks very

521
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 2: much like a dog, More like a dog than I've

522
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 2: seen any coyote.

523
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 1: Look, he's eating deep dish petes out of dumpsters exactly

524
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: his whole life. He's got Chicago dogs.

525
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he loves a deep dish.

526
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: He loves a deep dish. That guy freaking loves a

527
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,719
Speaker 1: deep dish. Pie. So the video for go. You know, Google,

528
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: You guys have phones and stuff to look at things.

529
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: So it is like a regular refrigerated shell where you

530
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: might buy cheese or beer or butter.

531
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 2: No cases laying down.

532
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: He's fully inside of it, and this guy reaches in

533
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: and grabs its tail animal control and pulls him out.

534
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: A full grown coyote from a grocery store shell. Film.

535
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: The guy is filming a terrible job. By the way,

536
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: that guy needs to take a intro to film studies class.

537
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: It's framed terribly. He pulls away at the best moment,

538
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: and then as soon as they pull this little guy out,

539
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: who's terrified, he jumps right back in and buries himself

540
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 1: so deep. I didn't know grocery store shelves went that week.

541
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 1: I thought they were eighteen inches mass.

542
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 2: Sometimes you can load them from the back, you know,

543
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 2: But those are usually the ones that's with a door.

544
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 2: This does not have a door. This is one of

545
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 2: the open shelves.

546
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: Yes. The unexpected discovery was seen on video as an

547
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: officer was spotted trying to pull an animal from the

548
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: cold food shelf inside the Humboldt Park al d Store.

549
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: After some time they are officer grabs a kattie's legs

550
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: and animals slowly pulled from between produce in a startling scene.

551
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: Chicago Animal Care and Control in Chicago police confirmed the

552
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: responded to the eight hundred block of North Kenzie around

553
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: ninety five am and safely took us tough the coyote.

554
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: Police said no injuries were reported at the incident, and

555
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: they said that they believe the kyote was attempting to

556
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: hide from traffic. That makes sense to me.

557
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 2: He definitely got away from traffic. He got in with

558
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 2: the cheeses. There's a lot of places to go where

559
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 2: there isn't traffic. The cheese is more specific than that.

560
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: The cheese section of his local grocery store just traffic

561
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: free zone. We theorize the coyote entered an open door

562
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: of the grocery store trying to escape human traffic and

563
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,239
Speaker 1: hid in the refrigerated section and an attempt to hide from

564
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: people inside the store. They noted a similar incident took

565
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: place at a Quiznos in Chicago in two thousand and seven. Wow,

566
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: you knew I was gonna say two thousand and seven,

567
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: because you just don't see Quiznos that often anymore.

568
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 2: I see him in airports still. That's the only place

569
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 2: I get a Quiznos. Is in the Detroit Airport of

570
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 2: the Chicago. I think it's a Detroit airport.

571
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: I like Firehouse subs. If I wish they were a

572
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: sponsor of ours, I tear Firehouse.

573
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 2: Oh never, are they stack up against Jersey Mike's pow?

574
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: Oh well, that's a good question, because I think Jersey Mike's.

575
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: I think Michaels of New Jersey just got bought out

576
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: by some big conglomerates. So I have a feeling like

577
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: black Rock or Blackstone or one of those one of

578
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: those evil, dark, capitalistic.

579
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 2: One that's sounds exactly like a mercenary group that fights

580
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 2: yea America.

581
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, so something like that bottom. So I hear that

582
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: they're going to plummet in quality very soon, the same

583
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,959
Speaker 1: way that Buffalo Wild Wings does. This is what I'm

584
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: reading on Reddit. Whether it's sure or not, you're on the.

585
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 2: You're on the Michaels of New Jersey reddit page all

586
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 2: the time.

587
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: I say, I'm looking that subreddit, Michaels of New Jersey.

588
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: I'm clicking I wanted Mike's way every day. I've never

589
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: had a sub in a tub. Have you ever done that? No?

590
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 2: No, I would not get a sub in a tub.

591
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: I know that's the one salad. It's a chef's out.

592
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 2: It's too much meat. It's too much meat for a salad.

593
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 2: That's a meaty salad. That's what they call that.

594
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: I think when we had Lizzie Cooperman, the very funny

595
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: Lizzy Cooperman on and she used to do that podcast

596
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: where she would let her listeners vote for what she

597
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: wanted to do, and then one of them was like,

598
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: tell everybody, it's your birthday and get every free birthday

599
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: food item. So she got the the Black Angus pazuki,

600
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: but she also got a free tub and a sub pazuki.

601
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 2: The pazuki is a I thought a pizza cookie right

602
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 2: from bej I don't know jumper pizuki, and it's all

603
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 2: every word about it is awful. It's a BJ's pazuki

604
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 2: and you get it on your birthday. Sounds good to me,

605
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 2: sounds fun.

606
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: But whenever I hear tub in, a sub and a tub,

607
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 1: I think of Lizzie because of that episode. And that's

608
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,239
Speaker 1: such an unfair because she's a lovely woman. She had

609
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: nothing about her screams sub and a tub, and we

610
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: should have her back on. She's wonderful experts took the

611
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: opportunity to remind the public that January through March is

612
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: coyote mating season, which often leads to increased activity and

613
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,719
Speaker 1: sightings as they search for mates in unestablished territories.

614
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 2: It's suggesting that this coyote was making sweet love to

615
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 2: a cheese.

616
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: I think so, all right, I think that is what

617
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 1: they're saying. While coyotes are generally not a threat to humans,

618
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: it's always best to avoid interaction. I mean, out here setes.

619
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 2: Every day, a little bit of Camelbert on a little

620
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,000

Speaker 2: Oh congratulations.

00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: Right on. Gabby still works at a bar and gets

713
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 1: home at four am, but her life has been monumentally

714
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: better with sobriety. Gabby says, I'm flawed, I'm healing, and

715

Speaker 2: Oh that's awesome. Congratulations, thumbs up.

717
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: So, like I said, I'm only about nine or ten

718
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: days into this dry sixty nine, but I recall and

719
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:27,280
Speaker 1: this just happened to me four days ago during the evacuation.

720
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: I'm not drinking. I walked by a bar. There was

721
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: a football game on, and I just glanced inside. And

722
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 1: what when you sober up and you start to see drunks.

723
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: Everybody looks like a wet goblin or ghoul in there,

724
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: Like you go, everybody's got that sheen on them. They're

725
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,760
Speaker 1: all talking too loud, they're all leaning in, and everybody

726
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: looks like a wet monster. And You're like, it takes

727
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 1: the clarity of sobriety to spot that.

728
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 2: Oh great, I'm looking forward to it.

729
00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: Also, Kurt, when was the last time you were I

730
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: didn't even think of when you and I were at

731
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 1: a bar until four am, four am, four a m.

732
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: I mean, our friendship is forged on four am late

733
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 1: nights in York City.

734
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,439
Speaker 2: We would always be there until yeah, always the bars

735
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 2: thirty if. I always considered if we did not close

736
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 2: the bar, that that that was somehow a failure of

737
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 2: an evening, which is a very stupid marker of success.

738
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 1: Well, I recall vividly many nights with you and our

739
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 1: and our sort of extended friend and comedy crew where

740
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: at midnight to one, you'd be all right, let's do

741
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: a shot and a beer and then get out of here.

742
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: And then that would be like three more shots and

743
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: three more beers, and then you would still be like,

744
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: is anywhere open? Yeah, maybe that's to do six drinks

745
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 1: between two and four am? What were we doing about dreams?

746
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 2: I think we were just talking about dreams.

747
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: We were just talking about what we were going to

748
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: accomplish and telling each other you're gonna do it, You're

749
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: gonna do it.

750
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 2: But I'm really, I'm legitimately trying to remember the last

751
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 2: time I was out at a bar at four in

752
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 2: the morning, And I honestly think it was probably like

753
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 2: when I was thirty three years old. I think that's

754
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:23,919
Speaker 2: the last time I was out at a bar four

755
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 2: actually four, Like I've been out of bars at two definitely,

756
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 2: but four piece of cake two is easy, no prob bob.

757
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think that's probably the last time.

758
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: Oh ky DOOKI Well, we'll have to do it again,

759
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: if we ever do. If this year we do a

760
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: run of shows and we end up in a city

761
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 1: that actually stays open to four am, let's just close

762
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: out that bar and last but not LEAs Beka Gee

763
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: is thumbing herself and her boyfriend Chris up for both

764
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: getting new jobs and getting out of equal corporate situations.

765
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,959
Speaker 1: She says, Harley Davidson is suffering because people aren't buying

766
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: motorcycles these days because they can barely afford grocery, and

767
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: they're manufacturing more and more Harley's in Thailand and they suck.

768
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: That is Beka G saying that it's not us. I

769
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 1: have no idea, but I like that Beka G, so

770
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: I support her. They both landed new jobs at much

771
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 1: better places and they say it's not worth it. Happiness matters,

772
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 1: So that's right. If you're stuck and you can make

773
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: the pivot, make the pivot. Thank you to everybody for

774

00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: dedicate this whole episode Banana of the Week to all

776
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: the firefighters and the mts that just absolutely those pilots

777
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: dropping water with accuracy, it's crazy.

778
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 2: And then pulling up like dropping them in a canyon

779
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 2: and then pulling up before hitting the other side of

780
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 2: the canyon is really incredible. So yeah, thank you, Thumbs

781
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 2: up Banana the Week.

782
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: Bananas of the Week here it is mained wolf.

783
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 2: M A n D strikingly beautiful South American canid. So

784
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 2: this was Live Science. This was sent in by cop behaste.

785
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 2: Thank you, copy Haste classes Behaste. This was written by

786
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 2: Megan Suresby for Live Science. Thank you, Megan.

787
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: You're the best in the bears can type.

788
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 2: Where it's found South America, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Peru,

789
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 2: and Uruguay. Omnivorous diet, eats everything. Here's why it's awesome.

790
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 2: They say, if there was a beauty contest for wild canines,

791
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 2: the mained wolf would surely be the winner, with its

792
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 2: flowing red coat, long legs, and large ears. I disagree

793
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,720
Speaker 2: with that. It looks crazy to me. It looks strange

794
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 2: like if you've ever seen like an ad at walker

795
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 2: from Empire strikes back, and then imagine that as a fox.

796
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 2: That's what it looks like. That's the the length of

797
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 2: its legs to the width of its body. Its legs

798
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 2: are so incredibly long it looks like it's on stilts.

799
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 2: Despite resembling a red fox and being called a wolf,

800
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 2: the Maine wolf is not closely related to either of

801
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 2: those almost. In fact, the main wolf forms its own

802
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:08,439
Speaker 2: genus uh crias, which which translates to Golden Dog, which

803
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 2: is an amazing, an amazing translation.

804
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, the main good name for an improv team, too. Yeah,

805
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: that's a good name for an improv team, Golden Dog.

806
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 2: Didn't we decide there was a good name for an

807
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 2: improv group that's never existed before last time too?

808
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: I think we did. I know, I don't remember bananas

809
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: at all. By the way, in life, I have no

810
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,399
Speaker 1: I have no I just don't remember anything we talked

811
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: about on this podcast.

812
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:36,800
Speaker 2: Crazy.

813
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: I think that means we're living in the moment.

814
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 2: We're very Yeah, that's good, that's good, right. But people

815
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 2: would be like, they'll say something and they'll be like, oh,

816
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 2: you guys were talking about that, and I was like,

817
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 2: I have no memory of that.

818
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too.

819
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 2: We're just rolling with it here, all Rankie. The main

820
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,959
Speaker 2: wolf's legs may be an adaptation for hunting in grassland.

821
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. There's a bunch

822
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 2: of different details. Live science is not I fucking love science,

823
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 2: so they're not Noper snarks good. But I will tell

824
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 2: you this everybody's wondering about. It's piss right, because that's

825
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 2: what you heard about more than anything. This isn't Wired magazine.

826
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 2: This was written by Bryan swit Tech. Thank you, Brian,

827
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:18,919
Speaker 2: You're the best.

828
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: Wired was always my go to pre smartphones when I

829
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: had to buy something at the airport to be on

830
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 1: a plane. If you're buying maximum of FAHM or stuff,

831
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: you look like a total creep. You're just You're like,

832
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 1: I I'm not flying to New Hampshire if I'm not

833
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 1: looking at cleavage and giant dump truck butts. But Wired

834
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: you're like, I'm sophisticated. I'm not an old man. I'm

835
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:44,879
Speaker 1: not reading as Esquire, Vanity fair GQ. I'm a young guy.

836
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 1: I like to know about things like dumb phones.

837
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 2: It is funny. Do you think the people who worked

838
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 2: it wired when everything went wireless, they were like, do

839
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:58,240
Speaker 2: we change our name because being wired is no longer

840
00:43:58,400 --> 00:43:59,839
Speaker 2: the cutting edge of tech?

841
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point. I don't know I think.

842
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 2: Ever asked themselves that question. Mmm. Here it is the

843
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 2: question that kept rattling around my skull this morning was

844
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:15,800
Speaker 2: why does why does maimed wolf piece smell like marijuana?

845
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 2: This isn't one of those why as a raven like

846
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 2: a writing desk riddles. I don't know that reference.

847
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, maimed wolves.

848
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 2: Large South American canids look like leggy foxes, but are

849
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 2: neither foxes nor wolves. It's a very pungent, distinctive urine

850
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 2: that smells the kin to hops or cannabis. The aroometamatic

851
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 2: resemblance is so close that police were once called to

852
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 2: the Rotterdamn Zoo in the Netherlands to search out a

853
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 2: pot smoker, only to find that whoever made the report

854
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 2: had been fooled by the scent of maimed wolf urine. Also,

855
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 2: whoever's calling in someone for smoking weed at the Rotterdamn Zoo,

856
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,399
Speaker 2: please grow up, do something better with your life.

857
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:55,879
Speaker 1: Grow up. It's so fun. It's one of the best

858
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: places to to do drugs.

859
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 2: Rodterdamn Zoo. Are you kidding me? The amount of times

860
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 2: I've dropped asset at the Rotterdam Zoo. Where is the

861
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 2: rotter Is that an Amsterdam?

862
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 1: I don't even I've never I've literally never been to

863
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: the Rotterdam Rotterdam Zoo and not been enhanced to a

864
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 1: level that has profoundly changed my life.

865
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,320
Speaker 2: I caught a whiff of Maine urine while visiting the

866
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:24,280
Speaker 2: Smithsonian National one spring morning last year. Wasn't unpleasant slightly sweet,

867
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 2: but stale and herb like scent. But why did it

868
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 2: smell that way? What was the reason behind the strange

869
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 2: convergence and odor? All right, blah blah blah blah blah

870
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:33,800
Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah.

871
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: Here it is.

872
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 2: James Deed's hypothetized that the particularly strong smell of the

873
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,839
Speaker 2: urine might be an adaptation to maintaining territories by being

874
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,399
Speaker 2: strong enough to be detected at a distance or long

875
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 2: after the olafactory marker had originally been laid down. And yep,

876
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 2: Child Sandford had to analyze a lot of peat, and

877
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 2: she took the opportunity see if the secret pine the

878
00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:00,319
Speaker 2: Canadan scent culture based on what was known aboutlah blah

879
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah bah man, this gets in deep

880
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 2: to like it gets into amino acids containing sulfur and

881
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 2: stuff like that. Yeah, I don't know. It's pyrasign. It's

882
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 2: what they figured out. It's pyrasign that makes it smell

883
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 2: like marijuana. But it looks like it's to keep animals

884
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 2: away from each other.

885
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: So that sounds very good. I know, it sounds like

886
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: a biological advantage for an animal that looks like a

887
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:34,800
Speaker 1: cartoon of a fox walking across the shallow pond and

888
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: the water drains out and it was actually six feet deep.

889
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 2: So I think I told this story on bananas, but

890
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 2: it's been years, so I'm going to tell it again.

891
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,720
Speaker 2: In my late twenties, my friend Michael was getting married

892
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:50,439
Speaker 2: and he decided to have a bachelor party in Brigantine.

893
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 2: So it's not too far from Atlantic City in New Jersey,

894
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 2: and they have dunes and beaches there. It's kind of Brigantines,

895
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 2: like a Barrier island, I think. And we were like

896
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 2: three or four blocks from the beach the airbnb that

897
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 2: we rented, and so at night we would get really

898
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 2: high and walk up to the beach and just like

899
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:12,879
Speaker 2: run around on the beach. And I would always take

900
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 2: my shoes off and leave them like right kind of

901
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 2: in the middle, like there was there was like kind

902
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 2: of a boardwalk that came out in between the dunes

903
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 2: that you could walk through, and then you would get

904
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,839
Speaker 2: to the beach, left my shoes there. I come back

905
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,840
Speaker 2: after like just frolicking and swimming in the ocean, whatnot.

906
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 2: I come back and there's only one shoe there. And

907
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 2: then I look and there is a fox with my

908
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:38,399
Speaker 2: other shoe in its mouth. And then I was like, hey,

909
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 2: come back, and it stops and it looks at me

910
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:43,879
Speaker 2: with the shoe in its mouth, and I said, come here,

911
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,360
Speaker 2: and it was just sitting there staring at me. And

912
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:49,280
Speaker 2: so then I threw the other shoe at the fox

913
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 2: to try and get him to drop the other shoe,

914
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 2: and he did drop that shoe and then picked up

915
00:47:54,960 --> 00:48:01,359
Speaker 2: the other shoe and ran into the stootes. I'm right

916
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 2: footed and had one shoe left. And it turns out

917
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 2: that they are beach foxes. They're the Brigantine beach fox.

918
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 2: It's a very specific fox.

919
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: I know.

920
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 2: I've never seen a fox before in New Jersey, never

921
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 2: seen one since, only at the beach in Brigantine. And

922
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 2: they live in the dunes and they love the salt

923
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 2: on the shoe laces that people leave behind, so they'll

924
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:28,880
Speaker 2: steal it just and chew it to get all the

925
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 2: salt out. I believe that, which seems weird because they

926
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:36,319
Speaker 2: live at the beach. Everything salty at the beach.

927
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 1: It gets so crabb mm hmmm. So there's a guy. Oh, sorry,

928
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 1: you please.

929
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 2: So then I go back in the morning and I

930
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 2: have to like hunt through the dunes to try and

931
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 2: find my shoes because I'm not in a place where

932
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 2: I could just buy other shoes at this point. And

933
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 2: I find the shoes and it's true. He has taken

934
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 2: the laces out, and the laces are gone and left

935
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 2: the shoe behind, and I just found it maybe thirty

936
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 2: five feet from where we were, and so got it back.

937
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 2: He got my laces, and I walked home, flip flopping

938
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 2: all the way back to New York City.

939
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 1: But new laces, new pair of tennis shoes. You know,

940
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 1: you can take clean laces and an old pair of shoes.

946
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm getting used to the neighborhood. I'm

947
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 1: getting used to all the new weirdos. And there's some

948
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 1: great ones. There's a guy that talks on a cell

949
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: phoned shirtless and sweatpants in his driveway every single day.

950
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:40,320
Speaker 1: And there's a great writer that lives in the neighborhood,

Speaker 1: Samuel Gibson, really great writer, and he and I grabbed

952
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 1: drinks sometimes and he was like, have you noticed any

953
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:48,439
Speaker 1: of the weirdos yet? And we know the shirtless guy.

954
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 1: There's a guy that walks his dogs and hits on

955
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 1: people that are too young from all the time. We

956
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 1: always like, get away, you creep. And then there's this

957
00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 1: barefoot guy in his like sixties and he's barefoot all time.

958

Speaker 1: I'm in the grocery store. I see it at this

959
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: little market for the first time, barefoot, and this other guy,

960
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:07,319
Speaker 1: younger dude. So the one guy's an older white guy,

961
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 1: and then this other guy that walks up to him

962
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 1: as a younger black gentleman, taller than he is, and

963
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,360
Speaker 1: he's like, how long have you been going barefoot? And

964
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 1: the guy's like, oh man, I've been doing this for

965
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: like twelve years. And he's like, you do it everywhere

966
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,360
Speaker 1: he goes, yeah, everywhere they let me and I'm eavesdropping.

967
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: I'm like looking at tampons and Maxi pats, like reading

968
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,800
Speaker 1: the back like I'm very invested. I'm just grabbing for

969
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 1: light bulbs. I'm like, oh, interesting wattage that's new to me.

970
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 1: Oh there's a string on one end, and so I

971
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:35,719
Speaker 1: am and he's like, oh, He's like, if you want

972
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: more information on it, I actually wrote like a little

973
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 1: book about it, and I have a blog and I'm like, Oh,

974
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 1: this kid is going to make fun of this old guy.

975
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is gonna be great, and then strike

976
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 1: me dead with lightning if it's not true. About a

977
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 1: week ago, I saw them walking together, barefoot, just talking,

978
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:57,240
Speaker 1: just right down the sidewalk. Just know they made friends

979
00:50:57,280 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: from being the two craziest people in this neighborhood.

980
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 2: Oh my god, love that.

981
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: Just a sixty five year old white guy barefoot and

982
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 1: just a six foot four, twenty something black gentleman barefoot,

983
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:11,320
Speaker 1: just just old friends. They just so much in common

984
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:11,799
Speaker 1: these too.

985
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:12,479
Speaker 3: God.

986
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 2: I wonder how much their conversation revolves around barefoot activities,

987
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:19,919
Speaker 2: you know, or if it's just like let's walk around

988
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 2: and bare feet together and then they talk about other

989
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 2: life problems, or if it's just barefoot stuff.

990
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 1: I know, I hope it's I hope they become best

991
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 1: of friends, and I hope the older guy leaves everything

992
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:32,800
Speaker 1: to the younger guy eventually.

993
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 2: I would love his shirt that said barefoot buddies. And

994
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:40,799
Speaker 2: it's just two pair, two pair of feet making a heart,

995
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 2: do you know what I mean?

996
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 1: So it's of course I know what you mean.

997
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 2: It's a great idea, bare feet buddies.

998
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they're gonna think you got a foot fetish

999
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:52,879
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna then you wear that thing around town.
