23
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: I wore mine yesterday on a walk, and I gotta say,

24
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: I like our merch. When did Scotty take off for you? College?

25
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: Everybody started calling me my college friends, half of them

26
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: call me Scott, half of them call me Scotty. But

27
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: when I moved to New York and started to work

28
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: my way into comedy and entertainment, people would introduce me

29
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: to Scotty. Shneali Bowmack, who was on the pod, she

30
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: was the first one to be like, this is Scotty,

31
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: and then you and Kristen, so are you?

32
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: I was no, that is I would have assumed it

33
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: was from like two or three years old.

34
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: Scott. They called me either, they called me both. And

35
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: I had guys that I played sports with as a

36
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: little guy, you know, the coaches, and then my friends,

37
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: and they would call me Scotty. But I had thousands

38
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: of nicknames. Scott is one of those names where it

39
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: can be it rhymes with lots of things. It sounds

40
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: like lots of things. So I had many many nicknames.

41
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: So and but Scotty is Scotty what you write under, yes,

42
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: and it's what I I would change my name legally

43
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: to Scotty, like it's on my about my writers Guild like, yeah, exactly,

44
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: and all the credits on movies. Our friend Jack Roberschot

45
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: sent me a picture last night from the bar Birds,

46
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: you know that one right near the old ucb Ones,

47
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: a cology feeling bar, and they were watching ma like

48
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: on both screens they had mon I'm like, yeah, that's

49
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:12,399
Speaker 1: that's a Scottie. Scott feels like Scott's a white guy name.

50
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: That just sounds like I'm either a lifeguard, a ski instructor,

51
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: or like your sister married a guy and she settled

52
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: and everybody knows it. Uh that I totally understand that.

53
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 2: I remember the first time we went to Aspen Comedy

54
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: the only time I went to Aspen Comedy Festival was

55
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: with an improv group and my friend Tolemy was stayed

56
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: with his uncle who was a a a rescue No, no,

57
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: I guess a ski instructor at the Aspen.

58
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, like it was a mountain.

59
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and so like that is and I imagine

60
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: his name was Scott.

61
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: He also like he he's he's.

62
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 2: Skied in the winter time and uh and taught people

63
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: how to ski and then in the summertime he went

64
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 2: and surfed.

65
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. Cool, Yeah, that's Scott that's a Scott Hey.

66
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: And not to take away from Scotty, I'm not that.

67
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: I described a guy who's probably pretty fun guy himself.

68
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty awesome. I mean yeah, sure he lives in

69
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: an apartment and sometimes sleeps in his own van. And yeah,

70
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 1: there he's broken a few hearts in his life. And

71
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: sure he should go to the dermatologist and get those

72
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: moles and freckles checked out. That's Scott behavior.

73
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 2: Oh man, folks, if you are in Portland, Oregon, why

Speaker 1: to do that. That would be.

100
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,359

103
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 2: I'm saying all of this without checking with the venue,

104
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: but I'm pretty sure.

105
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: You know, everybody likes money, and the Banana Broys are

106
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,240

00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:25,799
Speaker 1: book the hotel this time.

114
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,239
Speaker 2: Last time I booked us hotel at Portland, I feel

115
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: like I booked us a mental asylum. Like all the walls,

116
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: everywhere you look, there was scratches and scrapes along every wall,

117
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 2: like just someone was with the luggage, just jamming it

118
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: into every possible surface.

119
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: It was the saddest.

120
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 2: It was the sad corporate Marriott I've ever been to

121
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: in my life, very corporate. Scotti books better hotels, it's true.

122
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 2: And he rents better cars.

123
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: Well that I get upgrade. So that's a that is

124
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: that's the MX experienced.

125
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 2: Baby here it is park rangers, check camera trap discover.

126
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: Four hundred of the five hundred and eighty photos it

127
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: took were bear selfies. I read this myself when I

128
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 2: was just reading the news the camera. This is from

129
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 2: People magazine, written by.

130
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: The real staff. Mmmm. Embarrassed.

131
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: Well, staff don't want to be involved. This is I'm

132
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: gonna tell you straight up, Scott. It is this article

133
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 2: is just the headline, and that's why it's written by people.

134
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: Staff rangers for a Colorado park system found a surprise

135
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 2: when they checked wildlife camera trap four hundred bear selfies.

136
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 2: We already know that Boulder, Colorado's Open Space and Mountain

137
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 2: Parks wanted to observe the land systems sensitive wildlife habitats unobtrusively,

138
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 2: so park rangers placed nine camera traps across forty six

139
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 2: thousand acres to see how animals use the area. Upon

140
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 2: checking one of the camera traps to see what wildlife

141
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: had captured, rangers found hundreds of photos of a shamelessly

142
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 2: curious bear.

143
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: Why why why should he be shamed? Shamed?

144
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 2: Curiosity? Why is it shamelessly curious?

145
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: Uh?

146
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 2: And then there's just a quote. There is just a

147
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: quote that restates the headline. Recently a bear discovered wildlife

148
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 2: crap monitor wild life across Boulders os MP. The whole

149
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 2: article was written for this guy's quote of the five

150
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,719
Speaker 2: eighty photos captured about four underre bear selfies. There we go,

151
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 2: and that is the end of this article. Now, oh wait,

152
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 2: no it's not. But you know what, there's what you're saying.

153
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 2: It's just you know there is more. It's then just

154
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 2: more about It's not about like, what's the bear doing

155
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 2: why taking so many selfies? It's just it's about camera

156
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 2: traps in general. And you know what, I don't think

157
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 2: we need to go there now. Very excited about this

158
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 2: because I've realized when I read this that I've never

159
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,599
Speaker 2: told this story on the podcast.

160
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 1: Ooh mama. This is probably twenty.

161
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 2: Twenty fifteen, maybe twenty foen, Yeah, probably twenty fifteen. And

162
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 2: I found this little place up in the Angelus National Forest.

163
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 2: Love it there that you can hike into it, and

164
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 2: there's cabins there.

165
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: I'm not going to use its name. Yeah, don't blow it,

166
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: don't docks yourself.

167
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: But if you were really obsessed about knowing, you can

168
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 2: dm us and we'll give you the name of this place.

169
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 2: Really magical place the Bananas podcast at Instagram. But it's

170
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 2: just it's about a I don't know, three hour hike

171
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 2: straight up hill. Sounds fun, Yeah, three hour hikes straight

172
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 2: up hill. And then you get to this place where

173
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 2: there's no cell service, there's no electricity anywhere, but they

174
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: have electricity and they have running water from a stream.

175
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: And so there's a couple of cabins that you can

176
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: like rent and they're kind of amazing and it feels

177
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 2: very magical. And so we got got in contact with

178
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 2: them and rented one of the cabins and Laura and

179
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 2: I were gonna go up and have a romantic weekend.

180
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 1: Start a family. You gotta do it somewhere. Yeah, we

181
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: we hadn't. We didn't.

182
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 2: We didn't have kids yet, okay, And so we get

183
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 2: on our big hiking backpacks, you know, and I've never

184
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 2: backpacked before in my entire life. I've done a lot

185
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 2: of camping, but never backpacked. And it's it's wonderful. And

186
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 2: we start hiking up this mountain. We get there around

187
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say dusk. We arrive and it is dusk, and.

188
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: It is the most romantic time of day.

189
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 2: It's probably April so and it's probably like it's probably

190
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 2: like five thousand feet.

191
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: Up so it's cold. Oh I see. And we get

192
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: up there and we're very very excited.

193
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 2: You were like, all right, And so someone is supposed

194
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,599
Speaker 2: to be there to open the cabins for you.

195
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 1: Because the cabins are locked, they don't give you a

196
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: key or anything.

197
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 2: Someone has to be on site to let you in

198
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 2: We get up there dusk, nobody's there. We walk all around, Uh,

199
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 2: nobody is there at.

200
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: You to make noises where you're like hello, or did

201
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 1: you chirp or growl or how.

202
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 2: We're just we're just we haven't seen anybody on the

203
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,239
Speaker 2: trail because it was you know, getting towards the late afternoon.

204
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 2: No one else on the trail. We haven't seen anybody

205
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 2: for like two and a half hours. We are in deep,

206
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 2: deep wilderness, kind of scary, scary.

207
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

208
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 2: And uh and I didn't bring a tent because we

209
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: had a cabin to stand, so.

210
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: I won't understandably.

211
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: Uh So now we're in a situation where very quickly

212
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 2: it just turned into like a survival situation.

213
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, where we're just alone in the woods.

214
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 2: It's definitely we we don't have we can't hike back

215
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 2: out three hours in the in the dark, get lost.

216
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

217
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 2: And so there's a box and it says emergency call box.

218
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: And what it is.

219
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 2: It's literally a box that has one wire, like literally

220
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 2: one metal wire that runs from it all the way

221
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 2: down the mountain.

222
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: Oh and it's almost like a telegraph or something.

223
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 2: Yes, And it's from nineteen twenty I think, so I

224
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 2: open up this like wooden box and literally there's a

225
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 2: one of those upside down old timey telephone pieces that

226
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 2: you pick up and.

227
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: Literally like a squawk box.

228
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 2: And so I pick it up, and when I pick

229
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 2: it up, it starts to like ring, and then someone

230
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 2: at the bottom of the mountain.

231
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: I have no idea who the hell I was talking to.

232
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, just like someone at the pack station that's like

233
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 2: all the way at the bottom of the mountain picks

234
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 2: up and I was like, somebody's supposed to be here,

235
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 2: no one's come. And they're like, what are you taught?

236
00:12:59,760 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: What?

237
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 4: Oh?

238
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 2: No, Like this is okay, we'll we'll we'll call you back.

239
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 2: So then I hang yeah. So then we're just like

240
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 2: hang out and then it just starts ringing again. Yeah, exactly.

241
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: There's there is no there's no other place. I think

242
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 1: all of them just ring, do you know what I mean?

243
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 2: Like they are all up these boxes that go down

244
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 2: the mountain, And so pick it up and it's the

245
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 2: person who like runs the camp and they're like, we

246
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 2: are so sorry. Someone was supposed to be there. I

247
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 2: can't get in touch with them. I myself cannot go

248
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 2: up right now. My knee I have a bad knee

249
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 2: or whatever. We're going to continue to try and get

250
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 2: in touch with this person. Sure, And I was like, well,

251
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 2: what do we do because at this point it's dark,

252
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 2: and I'm like, I don't feel comfortable going down the

253
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 2: mountain like this because there's like sections where literally you're

254
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 2: going along a sheer cliff and I just couldn't do that.

255
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: In the dark with of course that's scary.

256
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 2: And they're like, there is an emergency shelter that you

257
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 2: can The door is locked to it, but if you

258
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: go around the back, you can push a window open

259
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 2: and you should be able to get in there, and

260
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 2: there's wood in there. You can make a fire. And

261
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, great, we'll do that. And so

262
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 2: then we like it's essentially an a frame little cabin,

263
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 2: and we pushed the window open and we climb in

264
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 2: through the window, and then we're inside actually like a

265
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 2: beautiful little tiny cabin and we get a fire going,

266
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 2: and I have I like, I brought food and I

267
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 2: have like, so then we cook up food and I brought.

268
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: A little vodka.

269
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 2: Yes, So then we're having this a fucking beautiful fire

270
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 2: in a fireplace in this like emergency cabin shelter so good,

271
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 2: put out our our sleeping bags, and then like, have

272
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 2: some vodka, have some food. Feeling good and then like

273
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 2: we're like I put my phone on and this is

274
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 2: so great. I mean, it just immediately goes from like

275
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 2: we're very excited for a fun weekend to survival situation too,

276
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 2: the most romantic evening we've ever had in our entire relationship.

277
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: And I put.

278
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 2: Shuffle on my phone and put it in a cup

279
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 2: so we can hear it. And the first song that

280
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 2: plays is the song that we danced to at our wedding,

281
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 2: totally random, which is an m Ward song. So then we're

282
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 2: like dancing in this uh in this emergency shelter with

283
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 2: this beautiful fire roaring, and then we go to bed

284
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 2: right in front of the fire because it was poorty

285
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 2: cold at this point, bed in front of the fire.

286
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: And then right as we've completely.

287
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 2: Drifted off into unconsciousness, the door just like bang's open,

288
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 2: and it's this the woman who was supposed to be

289
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 2: there originally, so she got the phone call because she

290
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 2: had forgotten. So then she hiked in the door for

291
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 2: three hours all the way up the mountain and was

292
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 2: like you guys could go in your cabin. I'm so sorry,

293
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 2: And it's like eleven pm at night, which is like

Speaker 2: The whole weekend was but it was like it was

297
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:23,560

00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: died and you had to use a telegraph from the

Speaker 1: learn from in journal.

319
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 2: There's a reason Cindy has a BitB tattoo on her

320
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 2: right wrist.

321
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: Yeam hmm. She's that good single woman's genius tactic to

322
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: avoid paying for groceries for two years. Wow, I want

323
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: to hear about it. Take a guest. Take a guest, Kurt,

324
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: just top top of the head. What's your guess? What

325
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: did this genius single woman do.

326
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 2: Walking right out with them, just walking out and not

327
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 2: going near the register.

328
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny you said that because there was

329
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: a story somebody sent us like eight months ago that

330
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: was about New Jersey got rid of plastic bags or

331
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: made you start paying for plastic bags. It was one

332
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: of the two, and that the response at this grocery

333
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: store it was a news story was people just started stealing.

334
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: They just started leaving without backs. They would just take

335
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: the groceries and just walk out the store as a

336
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: protest to not being able to get a plastic bag.

337
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 1: I was like, that is some high class decision making.

338
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: That is crazy.

339
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 2: It's like, what, my seven and a half minute trip

340
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 2: to the store, there won't be a remnant of that

341
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 2: for five thousand years in a landfill. I'm furious. I

342
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 2: want my trip to seven eleven mark for five thousand years,

343
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 2: long after I've gone.

344
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: Like a remnant. Single woman's genius tactic to avoid paying

345
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: for groceries for two years so she could I could

346
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: spend money on other things like savings, investing, or buying

347
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: a Prada bag. She said, oh uh uh. With rising

348
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: cost of living, it's no surprise people are pulling out

349
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 1: all the stops to save money. Which is true. Things

350
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: are expensive these days. I don't know if you've tried

351
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 1: to buy eggs or any type of meat product, but

352
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: it'll you should go vegan these days. Basically, the prices

353
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: are so insane that I'm like, dude, I'm coming potatoes.

354
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: I paid fourteen dollars for some eggs. I'll be upfront

355
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: with you, and that's ridiculously.

356
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 2: We had already like brought them up and I was like,

357
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 2: what is happening? As it was happening, I was like,

358
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 2: what's going on? I don't want eggs that badly.

359
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: I know, I know one single woman meaning one woman

360
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: who is single, not one, not one single woman. God,

361
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 1: Cindy Tran is truly the best in the biz. One

362
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: single woman has been hailed a genius after she boasted

363
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: about going on six dates every week to avoid paying

364
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 1: for groceries for two years. Six d Vivian two, a

365
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 1: former Wall Street trader from New York City. I mean,

366
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: this person keeps getting better and better. I know. Explain

367
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: how she got to enjoy I know, explained how she

368
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: got to enjoy the perks of free dinners after she

369
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: managed to line up back to back dates with men

370
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 1: she met on dating apps. As time went on, the

371
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: now twenty eight year old ended up saving about twenty

372
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: two one hundred dollars in Australian currency in twenty four

373
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: months between twenty sixteen and twenty eighteen. She says, I

374
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 1: did it by groceries. Once, Vivian confessed and in a

375
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: very amusing TikTok video, let's see how amusing it is.

376
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 2: In two years, she thinks she saved twenty two thousand

377
00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 2: dollars a single person. I know how much I spend

378
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 2: on groceries, and I am feeding a family of four.

379
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: Yes, and this is just one single woman.

380
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 2: I don't even think I spend twenty two thousand dollars.

381
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 1: Oh maybe Australian maybe Australian folks. Well, but the so

382
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: the they said, Oh she said, Vivian two, that is

383
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,719
Speaker 1: the genius. I probably saved about one hundred and fifty

384
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: dollars US a week. Okay, poking fun at herself. She

385
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: didn't joke. That makes quote. That makes sense. Yeah, that

386
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: makes sense when women when they say women are bad

387
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: with money. But you used to go in six dates

388
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: a week to avoid paying for groceries. That's all it said.

389
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: That's that's the poking fund in yourself. And then she says,

390
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: to end this very amusing TikTok video quote, if you

391
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: dated me between twenty nineteen and twenty eighteen, you may

392
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: be entitled to financial compensation. That's what she said. Yeah,

393
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: so she had a little that's a good little joke

394
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: at the end, but also not genius. But I mean,

395
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 1: good for her. If you're gonna if these people are

396
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: gonna buy you a dinner and you take that takeaway,

397
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: go get it.

398
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just realized that twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen,

399
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 2: it's three years. I'm still hung up on the math, guys. Okay,

400
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 2: there are just a lot happening. I just been doing

401
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 2: all the math on my phone. One hundred and fifty

402
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 2: dollars a week for three years is twenty two thousand dollars.

403
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 2: That all makes sense. Checks out the most boring comments

404
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 2: that I could possibly imagine making.

405
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: You're crushing it. When I was a valet at the

406
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: River Cafe in Brooklyn, we would get staff meals, which

407
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: is nice, and they were always really good. They had

408
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: great chefs there, and but I became friends with one

409
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: of the dessert chefs. And their signature dish at the time,

410
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's still the case was a

411
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 1: chocolate moose Brooklyn Bridge. You've probably seen it actually, but

412
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: it was like a vertical slice of it was a

413
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: rectangular chocolate moose, and then they stuck together like chocolate

414
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 1: pieces of chocolate to look like the Brooklyn Bridge. And

415
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: there was a time where I was taking those home

416
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: every single night because if they flubbed one or it

417
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: was crooked, they wouldn't serve it, and she would come

418
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: out and she would be like, do you want this?

419
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: And then she would always try to sell me valuum

420
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: with the bridges, because I guess she had a value. Yeah,

421
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: she'd be like, do you want five milligrams of valuum.

422
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: I'd be like, no, No, the free cakes, freakkes are

423
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: good for me. Free cake is what I'm interested in.

424
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: And listen, I'm twenty five and I'm a valet. You

425
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: called me in ten years if I'm still a valet,

426
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a valuum every night with the cake.

427
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: But it was cool. She was like this little dessert tender.

428
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: She was awesome. She was such a funny thing. But

429
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: when I read this, I was thinking, did I I

430
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: know I've told you in life? And I ran into

431
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 1: Curt Neil, our friend and an actor and renter. Did

432
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: I ever tell the story about Diablo, the Diablo Taco

433
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: Fabricator on here where we broke up a very strange fight.

434
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 2: I must no, not at all, because I know that

435
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 2: we have never talked about Diablo Taco Fabricator, the most

436
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 2: ridiculous name for a restaurant in the history of names

437
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 2: of rest dome restaurants, including the Spaghetti Warehouse.

438
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, it's spaghetti factory. Still dumb. So for the

439
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 1: ban animals who don't know. In Silver Lake, Los Angeles,

440
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: there was there's this bigs. There's a big restaurant and

441
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 1: it's right on Sunset Boulevard. It is a primo locache.

442
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: It's abouch, it's huge, it's shaped like a triangle, and

443
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 1: it opened in probably about eight years ago. It's closed now,

444
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: but it was called Diablo the Taco Fabricator, because when

445
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: you're thinking authentic tacos, you're thinking about how they're fabricated

446
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 1: in the back. But they did do one thing, very

447
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: very smartly, and I remember this, Kurt. They would serve

448
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: you like twenty four mounts draft beer and a cold

449
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: mug and then stick a Mitchelotta popsicle in it to

450
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: melt while you were drinking.

451
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 2: Oh wow, it was. That's delicious. Now that's fabricated, that

452
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 2: is yeah, and so would you like.

453
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: Yes, I had a gaggle of I still do. But

454
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: I also did then of midwestern lesbian friends who were

455
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: huge Green Bay Packers fans, the Green Bay Packers football team,

456
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: and they called and said, Scotti do you want to

457
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: meet us Diablo the taka fabricator for mitchellatas and tacos,

458
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,360
Speaker 1: And I said, yes, I do. So I show up

459
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: and the only other dude with them is Kurt. Yet

460
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: not this Kurt. Kurt. You he's a big guy. He's

461
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: your your high, but he's he's a big dude. Pretty

462
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: empty in there. We're watching on like ten screens. They're

463
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 1: fabricating tacos for us. I'm I'm ingesting a few popsicle

464
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: beers and a man walks in with a purple mohawk,

465
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: a tank top like a white tank top, baggy jeans,

466
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 1: and a chainsaw. He's the chainsaw is not turned on,

467
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: but he walks in like that, like straight, like a

468
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: villain from a Jackie Chan movie. And so I clock

469
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: him instantly. I'm like watching him out the corner eye.

470
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: The ladies are watching the game. We're all joking around,

471
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,959
Speaker 1: and the manager is a dude, let's say, thirty year

472
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: old white dude, and he's like, hey, man, you can't

473
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 1: bring a chainsaw in here. And the guy's like, oh,

474
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 1: can I just put it down? And he's like, yeah,

475
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: just put it down here. The castro just and you

476
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: can get it on your way out. I'm like, this

477
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: guy is so weird, and so he doesn't order tacos. No, no,

478
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: tacos are being fabricated for this man, but they do

479
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: fabricate him a beer, and he's just standing like looking

480
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: at everybody and doing that thing like crazy people do,

481
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: where they kind of look at every crowd and they're

482
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: like laughing and smiling and nodding along like they're like

483
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 1: they're judging you, but also like he was like smartingy.

484
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: It was weird. So I got one eye on this

485
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: guy the entire time, and he's like, can I get

486
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: some tacos? And a waitress walks over and she's like, yeah,

487
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: here's a menu. I'll come back and get it. Let

488
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: me know. Everybody's just trying to, like, you know, deal

489
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: with this guy and get him out of there. You

490
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: could tell they were like, get this guy to go

491
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: order and get his ass out of here. Yeah. The

492
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:37,400
Speaker 1: next time that waitress walks by, woman late twenties, he

493
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 1: dumps his beer over her head. It's the meanest shit.

494
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: It was so mean. It was like, ugh, it made

495
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: me like I went from zero to two hundred in

496
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: a second. And then the woman like shrieks understandable and

497
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: drops the beers of food she was carrying, and she's

498
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: like what the fuck and he's like, fuck you bitch.

499
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: And then it was like here we go. And so

500
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,239
Speaker 1: the manager, guy who had been cool, who wasn't a

501
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: large gentleman, runs over. He's like, get the fuck out,

502
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: and Kurt and I are already on our feet, and

503
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: then he gets into a fight. This guy gets into

504
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 1: a fight with the manager. So mohawk guy is fighting

505
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: the manager. People are backing away. It's mostly women in there,

506
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: the lesbian packer fans. I think just watched the game.

507
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: We're having a great time. No, everybody was like really

508
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: freaked out and what happened and I don't. It's like

509
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: not seeing red, but it's almost like blacking out. In

510
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: the moment is within about ten seconds, Kurt grabs the

511
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: guy by both shoulders and pulls him off of the manager.

512
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: The manager does land a pretty good punch in there. I,

513
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: without thinking, had walked over, picked up the chainsaw, had

514
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: walked out the front door across the street and threw

515
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: it over the fence of a house into the backyard,

516
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: and then walked back in. Kurt like Kurt pushed the

517
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: guy out. Cops came within like ten I mean honestly

518
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: two minutes they were they were there. The guy gets arrested,

519
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: We sit back down, our friends are just like, holy shit,

520
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: thank god you guys were here. And Kurt's like, somebody

521
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: had to do something about that guy. And then my

522
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: friend Sarah goes, where did you go? I go, what

523
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: you mean? She goes, where'd you go with that chainsaw?

524
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: I go, I just threw it in the backyard of

525
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: that house over there, And she goes, why I go,

526
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: I just wanted to get as far away as possible.

527
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: And then we all just watched the rest of the

528
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: football game as that guy got taken away. I drive

529
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: by that house all the time. I don't after the game.

530
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: I didn't knock on the door and be like, hey,

531
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: there might be a chainsaw in your backyard. So for

532
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: years I've been like, what was their experience Where in

533
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: the morning they came out and they're like, free change saw.

534
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 2: It was out of an action house that he had

535
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 2: a chainsaw when he walked in.

536
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, the manager did, but I didn't go and I

537
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: took it and threw like we were just like it was.

538
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: It was the adrenaline rush of just being in a

539
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: taco fabricator and then having to fight a Jackie Chan villain.

540
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: But good on Kurt, like Banana the week for Kurt,

541
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: because he stepped up, walked directly over the guy, and

542
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: like and disciplined another grown man. While I, uh, now

543
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: I know how I behave in that situation. I take

544
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: the murder weapon and throw it. But also I wish

545
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,040

00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: to do. We're trying to get some of that Baja

620
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: Blast hot sauce. So if anybody has a line on that,

621
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: send me one to our po box and we'll end

622
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: on this one. Nissa, who I've said her name three

623
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: times now, Nissa wants to shout out her partner, David

624
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: Nissa lost her dad recently and David has been extra supportive.

625
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: It's tough David has been in rock. Nissa says, David

626
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: is an all around great guy and really exemplifies what

627
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: she thinks is bananas standards for men being respectful, goofy

628
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: and having a golden heart and hating invasive species. So Nissa,

629
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,439
Speaker 1: thank you. It's very kind. DM. We also think those

630
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: are good bananas traits for dudes, for everybody, but for dudes.

631
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 2: And I just to specify, because I always do, don't.

632
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 2: We do dislike invasive species, but we admire their tenacities

633
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 2: to survive.

634
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: Yes, yes we do. They're just being animals. And I'll

635
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: save the other shout outs for the episode recording tomorrow.

636
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: CURDIEB sounds good. All right here it is, tell me

637
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: about those balloons.

638
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 2: This was sent in by Morgan. I'm gonna say chiaka

639
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 2: or siaka cio.

640
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: Cca on Instagram.

641
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 2: This comes from the from the website Rare Historical Photos,

642
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 2: which honestly I'm going to spend a little more time on.

643
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 2: This is the title is when Cleveland released one point

644
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:32,919
Speaker 2: five million balloons and two men died nineteen eighty six, right,

645
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 2: and it is not written by anyone.

646
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: Apparently these words magically, I can understand why.

647
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 2: In nineteen eighty six, charity organization United Way of Cleveland

648
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 2: thought that they had the perfect idea to generate a

649
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 2: little publicity and create a beautiful spectacle in the process,

650
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 2: an attempt to set a new world record for simultaneously

651
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:58,479
Speaker 2: released balloons. Now, this is right up Scotty and is

652
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 2: Alley definitely thought about. There's so many ideas like this

653
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 2: that I wanted to do that I we just simply

654
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 2: haven't because of environmental concerns.

655
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: But in nineteen eighty that's right, that's what I was

656
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 1: about to say. Back then, we weren't thinking about balloons

657
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,439
Speaker 1: killing sea life. Now we know better. If you know better,

658
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: do better.

659
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 2: And yeah, and the other thing I wanted to do

660
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 2: was like release like like like a million bouncy balls

661
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 2: down like the tallest street in San Francisco.

662
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody after I came, Yeah.

663
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 2: Shortly after we had that idea, Sony did it for

664
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 2: a commercial And come on, hey, Sony, did you clean

665
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 2: up all those balls anyway?

666
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 1: I don't think so.

667
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 2: On September twenty seventh, nineteen eighty six, the day of

668
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 2: the stunt, arrived, though the organizers ultimately released the balloons

669
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 2: earlier than previously planned due to a rainstorm that was

670
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:58,359
Speaker 2: fast approaching that day. I mean, already sounds like they're

671
00:37:58,360 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 2: in a bad position here.

672
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:01,800
Speaker 1: At one fifty.

673
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 2: Pm, nearly one point five million balloons.

674
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: Were let go go so many balloons.

675
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 2: So many balloons, and rose up from the clevelands from

676
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 2: Cleveland's Public Square surrounding Terminal Tower with the balloons free.

677
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:22,280
Speaker 2: There is These photographs are shocking, they are amazing, even

678
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,320
Speaker 2: the photos of before the balloons are released.

679
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: It is a.

680
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 2: Veritable mountain of balloons because they have a net that

681
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 2: is so many. I mean, I can't even think about

682
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 2: how many people it took to inflate them and tie them.

683
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: With the balloons free.

684
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 2: The thinking was that they would all stay in the

685
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 2: air until fully deflating and returning to earth.

686
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: You know what, that would be my thinking as well.

687
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 1: I've heard that's how believe I got to think something. Yeah,

688
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:58,280
Speaker 1: that's right. Incredibly, that's not what ended up happening.

689
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 2: However, after being let go, the floating spheres of colorful

690
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 2: helium filled latex, why doesn't someone want to put their

691
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 2: name on this? Collided with a front of cool air

692
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 2: and rain, causing them to fall back down towards the ground.

693
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 2: Still inflated, the more than one million balloons dropped back

694
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 2: down to earth, littering the land and clogging waterways all

695
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 2: over northeast Ohio.

696
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

697
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 2: Not only that, many of the balloons consequently washed ashore

698
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 2: on the Canadian side of Lake Erie the following several

699
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 2: days afterwards, a number of the balloons landed on a

700
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:43,720
Speaker 2: pasture in Medina County, Ohio, which spooked some Arabian horses

701
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 2: owned by a woman, Louise Nowakowski, and reported led to

702
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 2: injuries to the horses. Now Kowski subsequently sued United Way

703
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 2: for one hundred thousand dollars worth of damages, and the

704
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,240
Speaker 2: matter was settled in undisclosed terms.

705
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: In the worst consequences to come from the.

706
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:01,320
Speaker 2: Disaster, though, was when the balloons inadvert impeded a search

707
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:05,800
Speaker 2: and rescue of two vanished fishermen. The missing men, Raymond

708
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 2: Broderick and Bernard Sultzer, had been reported missing the day

709
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 2: the event had taken place, although their sixteen foot boat

710
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 2: was located anchored west of the Edge Park breakwall. The

711
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 2: Coast Guard search and rescue crews were not able to

712
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 2: find them. Since there were so many balloons scattered around,

713
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 2: rescuers can distinguished between a balloon and a person.

714
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

715
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 2: The wife of the one man later sued United Way. Yeah,

716
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 2: United Way got decimated in this. I cannot believe that

717
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 2: these guys in the end the event.

718
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 1: It is so crazy.

719
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, in the In the end, the event did lead

720
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,240
Speaker 2: to a new world record being broken, but it didn't

721
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 2: go off without a hitch. If there's one thing the

722
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 2: tragic event proved was that even the most harmless of

723
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 2: actions and the best of intentions could lead to a

724
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 2: disastrous outcome. And then there's this photograph of like it's

725
00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 2: a wide shot of nineteen eighty six Cleveland, which looks

726
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 2: all one color, and then these balloons. It almost looks

727
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 2: like an explosion of color erupting out from the middle

728
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:12,720
Speaker 2: of the city.

729
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: It's really a breath taking photo. Is this crazy? Isn't

730
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: that crazy? Man? Yeah? That wow? They went for it,

731
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: oh man, Yeah, I mean you've we definitely And then

732
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: Up did it the movie Up? Uh huh. But we

733
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,479
Speaker 1: consider doing like a sitting in a chair, how many

734
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: weather balloons full of helium would it take to fly

735
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: into the air. We definitely discuss that. I went on

736
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 1: a first date to the movie up in Manhattan at

737
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: the Chelsea Theaters and.

738
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,879
Speaker 2: God, did you like in the first ten minutes? I mean,

739
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,919
Speaker 2: that's a crazy. That's a crazy like just to like, Hey,

740
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 2: nice to meet you.

741
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: How are you. I'm Scotty.

742
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 2: Now let's watch the most emotionally wrenching ten minutes of

743
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 2: movie you ever.

744
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 1: Yes, we met. It was like a matinee and we

745
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: had met I don't know, for coffee or whatever, and

746
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 1: then she was like, do you want to go see

747
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: this movie? All my friends tell me it's amazing. I

748
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, that sounds fun. It was like one

749
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: hundred degrees or whatever. And so we walk in and

750
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,720
Speaker 1: sit down and I picked up on what we were watching,

751
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 1: like in the in the open and I'm sure everybody's

752
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 1: seen up now, so no huge spoilers here. But it

753
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: started to hit me and I turned to her and

754
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 1: I said, I'm just gonna let you know I'm probably

755
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: gonna start crying. And she goes, thank god you said that.

756
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 1: This is the hardest shit I've ever seen. And we

757
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 1: sat next to each other and cried. And then when

758
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 1: that sequence, the opening sequence was over. It was like

759
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: we laughed so hard because we were like, well, we're

760
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: starting at the bottom, and did you have a second

761
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 1: date with this person? Oh? Yeah, yeah that was Yes,

762
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: that person ended up being a girlfriend actually for I mean,

763
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: we started at such an emotional place that you know,

764
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 1: you can't.

765
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 2: I I wonder if that had anything to do with it. Yes,

766
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 2: the things that's like staring into the person's eyes.

767
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:09,919
Speaker 1: Have you heard about that thing?

768
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,320
Speaker 2: No, you stare into someone's eyes like it's a recommend,

769
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 2: Like literally, it can apparently make people fall in love.

770
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, but if I think it's like you

771
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 2: stare into someone's eyes for like five straight minutes and

772
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:28,919
Speaker 2: it just it's like this, it's apparently a crazy thing.

773
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:29,800
Speaker 1: You both.

774
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a feel real weird sort of all of

775
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 2: a sudden I am falling in love that sort of thing.

776
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 1: I mentioned this to you really recently when we were

777
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: hanging out the other night. I worked on a show

778
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:46,240
Speaker 1: a few years ago, just a pilot with Emily Heller,

779
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:48,959
Speaker 1: the comedian and writer who we should have on the pod.

780
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 1: I love that Emily. We should and we should have

781
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: her on the pod, and she and I were the

782
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: only two writers it was her idea and I was

783
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: her co writer, and she he was like, I'm going

784
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: to be not in on Friday, and I was like

785
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: that's cool. And she's like, I'm going to go see

786
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 1: this mesmerizer and I was like, what is that? And

787
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: apparently there was some East Eastern European man who tours

788
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 1: the world. As like, I'm give me a fake name, ker,

789
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: give me a man's first name as Barak as Barak.

790
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 1: I heard good enough as Barak as Barak the mesmerizer,

791
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:38,319
Speaker 1: as Barack the mesmerizer tours the world. Yes, So she

792
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,959
Speaker 1: paid I think like twenty five bucks or thirty bucks.

793
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: It was like a pretty low amount but too much,

794
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:50,359
Speaker 1: and went to a hotel conference room where they had

795
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 1: chairs set up, and then she said, there were like

796
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 1: forty people there who had come to see this man.

797
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: And it's totally silent, and he walks up in the

798
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: room and there's like a small little soap box eyed stage,

799
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: and he stands there with these wide eyes and he

800
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: stares at each person and mesmerizes them, and people burst

801
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: into tears, people burst into hysterics. Emily said, when he

802
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 1: looked at her, she felt extremely strange, like he was

803
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: doing something to her, and that guy just travels the

804
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: world getting paid to stare directly into strangers eyes and

805
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 1: freak them out.

806
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 2: Wow, guess what, Danny, you stare at anybody for like two.

807
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:37,760
Speaker 1: Minutes in this be intense. Yeah, that really is true.

808
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: It really is true. Oh, we haven't had it on

809
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: just to talk about that. Yes, Oh yeah, I wonder

810
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 1: what his real name was. It was probably like Ben

811
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 1: Ben the mesmerizer. I'd love to have her on. I

812

Speaker 1: began writing to American Celesta Byrne after being given her

831
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 1: details in nineteen thirty eight. Communication which began in their

832
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 1: twenties is still going strong between hot between Honiton and Texas. Oh,

833
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 1: I see, that must be the town Hauntiton, they also said.

834
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,839
Speaker 1: They both also said they planned on keeping the long

835
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 1: running friendship going for as long as possible. I think

836
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: they already have. But good for them. Keep it up. Yeah,

837
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: you're doing right. This must be a Guinness record their correspondence.

838
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: Over the decades, the letters kept crossing the Atlantic, and

839
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 1: since then pen and paper have given way to emails

840
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 1: with the help of their children and now sometimes video calls.

841
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 1: I mean, this is very sweet, which is great. They

842
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: also met in person when mister Banks visited New York

843
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 1: City or New York in two thousand and two. So

844
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: from nineteen thirty eight to two thousand and two, they

845
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: had never met whoa, whoa. That is extraordinary. Talk about

846
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 1: bursting into tears. I mean, God, wouldn't you just be like,

847
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, this is a special one, mister Banks.

848
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 1: I want to know what. I want to know what

849
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 1: they did.

850
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 2: It would be very funny if they're like, you want

851
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 2: to go see a movie.

852
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 1: They went to Tad's and got some broiled steaks. Remember

853
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,760
Speaker 1: that place, Tad's that would advertise like the five dollars

854
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 1: broiled steak. No strange it closed sadly. I think. Was

855
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:47,919
Speaker 1: it like right near Times Square? Yes, there's no way

856
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:51,879
Speaker 1: you don't remember Tad's Steak, but I've had mistake. It

857
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,320
Speaker 1: was a It was like I bet it was from

858
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 1: the depression era where it was like you could come

859
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:59,959
Speaker 1: and get a broiled steak and fries for five dollars.

860
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 1: I think by the end it was like eight or

861
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 1: nine or ten, but it was cheap steak. Yeah, it was.

862
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 1: All all of them were in a steam tray.

863
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 2: I went on a twenty four hour road trip and

864
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:12,319
Speaker 2: so we like went and got steak there and it

865
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:16,280
Speaker 2: was it was I'm gonna say it was a little under.

866
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 2: It was under a sizzler quality steak.

867
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:24,839
Speaker 1: We love a sizzler in this podcast. Great salad bar,

Speaker 1: go have lunch. I would love that. We can plan

870
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 1: our bananas after dark tour. If the banana will say yes.

871
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 1: If they say no, I don't then we'll just sulk

872
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 1: over our chocolate pudding at the end of the sald bar.

873
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:46,040

00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:58,479
Speaker 1: she's a very interesting person. We exchanged stories and she's

878
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 1: good to talk to. I would hope so. Yeah. But

879
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,879
Speaker 1: with such a long running friendship between the boy from

00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 1: England and the girl from the US, the question has

881
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:12,640
