00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, okay, So this is from Yahoo News. This

33
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 3: is by Ellen Manning. Baboons at a popular safari park

34
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: have been spotted with knives, screwdrivers, and even a chains

35
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 3: according to reports. The primates at Nosley Nosley or Nosley,

36
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's outside Liverpool Safari Park in meyer

37
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 3: Side are already known for their destructive abilities and have

38
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 3: been pictured previously pulling things from visitors cars, but now

39
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 3: some staff are concerned that the baboons are being given

40
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 3: weapons quote for a laugh by park goers, According to

41
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 3: the Sunday Time, Oh my God. One worker told the newspaper,

42
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 3: We're not sure if they're being given weapons by some

43
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 3: of the guests who want to see them attack cars,

44
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 3: or if they're fishing them out of pickup trucks and vans.

45
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 5: Uh.

46
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 3: The workers said the animals sometimes going to people's toolboxes

47
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 3: to grab what they can, adding, one of the baboons

48
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 3: was seen lugging around the chainsaw. I hope he doesn't

49
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 3: know how to turn it on. Um yeah, and then

50
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 3: that is it goes on and just tells us more.

51
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 3: There's no more new information about that. Have I mean,

52
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 3: have you guys ever been to like one of these

53
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 3: drive through safari parks? They're crazy?

54
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 4: I've never I mean because I don't know how I yeah,

55
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 4: I'm you know, I have a whole mixed feelings about

56
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 4: zoo stuff. But you know that's just me. Yeah, yeah,

57
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 4: And so I get I get that as so far

58
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 4: as like they're roaming free and whatnot. But you know,

59
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 4: to what is it like you're on like a golf

60
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 4: cart type, right are you?

61
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 3: For the most part, this one and the one that

62
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 3: I grew up nearby, it was you would just drive

63
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 3: your fucking car through there. So it's like you're driving

64
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 3: your car and then wild animals are just free, like

65
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 3: if you want to, like avoid if you don't want

66
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 3: to hit a wart hog, like you have to avoid

67
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 3: hitting a wart hog because they are not behind any

68
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 3: type of barrier whatsoever.

69
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: I do not trust my car, that's right.

70
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: I don't choose my driving.

71
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, none of it. My car is always on the

72
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 4: verge of like sometimes it I don't think it my

73
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 4: car is very old. I don't even think the speedometer

74
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 4: is exactly what it says, so I could be going

75
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 4: faster than I really think I am. You know what

76
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 4: I'm saying.

77
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: So it's always just rolling the dice going for a drive.

78
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 4: I'm probably always at a sixty and I'm going thirty

79
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 4: and then you know a war hoog. There goes the

80
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 4: war hog that was just trying to cross the road.

81
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: Scotty, did you ever go to one of these as

82
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: a kid?

83
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 2: I never went to one of these. I knew you

84
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 2: were going to do this story. I saw one, I

85
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: grew up next to one. Yeah, and I and also

86
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 2: a bunch of bananimals sent it in. Did you have

87
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 2: any names? Because I the first.

88
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 3: Actually the first bananimal who sent it in was beach Clouds.

89
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 3: But we've gotten like fifteen more people sent it in,

90
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 3: so they're right.

91
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: So I looked this up because I was like, baboons

92
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: are pretty gnarly. Baboons are like, uh, they're pretty strong

93
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: and ferocious, but I wanted to see how fast they

94
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 2: could run. So because if it has a knife, so

95
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: it's kind of Otsco's point, like maybe your car breaks

96
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 2: down and then they're cutting into your car, and I

97
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 2: was thinking, could I outrun a babboon? So Ussein Bolt,

98
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: the greatest sprinter of all time, can run twenty seven

99
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 2: and a half miles an hour. That's how fast he

100
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 2: was clocked at the when he at the Olympics, when

101
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,119
Speaker 2: he broke the record. A babboon can run thirty miles

102
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 2: an hour. Wow, so slow it down a little bit

103
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: because that has a knife in one of its paws.

104
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: But I'm thinking, I think it can track you down.

105
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 2: And they have eight times the arm strength of a

106
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: human of a man, so he could probably say.

107
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 3: I was thinking he might have a tough time holding

108
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 3: a chainsaw, but oh no, he can run with a

109
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,239
Speaker 3: chainsaw over his head thirty miles.

110
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the visual I was going for.

111
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 4: Oh my god, wow that Thanks for doing that math,

112
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 4: because now I really I really can see it. Who's

113
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 4: giving them these tools just for fun? Look? What do

114
00:05:55,160 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 4: you remember remember in London when like there was a

115
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 4: there was an attack, right, there was a guy stabbing

116
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 4: people and then Londoners came together and just like one

117
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 4: took a nar whale.

118
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 2: Uh that's right, right? Like what is it called the horn?

119
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 4: Yeahhrn Like because so those motherfuckers. You know, just in England.

120
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 4: They're they're crazy, they're ready to they're ready to fight.

121
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 4: You know, next time, I'm proposing. I'm proposing next time

122
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 4: because I didn't know baboons ran so fast and the

123
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 4: arm strength they have. Next time, there's like a terrorist attack, right,

124
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 4: and some guys stabbing people in the streets, Send these

125
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 4: Send these baboons.

126
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: The baboons arm them.

127
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 3: Why doesn't m I six have an elite band of

128
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 3: baboons armed mostly with chainsaws and other kind of like

129
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 3: difficult to hoist weapons, you know what I mean, Yes,

130
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 3: just like really heavy meat cleavers.

131
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 4: Right, and again, I would like to say that, you know,

132
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,239
Speaker 4: I'm usually against violence, I'm and I'm not for violence,

133
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 4: but if I had to put two and two together

134
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 4: to I'm about solutions. If we had to get the

135
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 4: bad guy and these baboons already have screwdrivers and shit, yeah,

136
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 4: go for it.

137
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 3: This honestly terrifies me because of my intimate knowledge of so.

138
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 3: I grew up in New Jersey and right down the

139
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 3: road for me was a place called Great Adventure. Great

140
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 3: Adventure six Flags Theme Park, and they had what was

141
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 3: called the Great Adventure Drive through safari, which is, you know,

142
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 3: you just drive your car through. And it was such

143
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 3: a bad idea, not only for the animals, but for

144
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 3: the human beings as well that I remember once I

145
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 3: was I was ten years old. I didn't know any better.

146
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 3: I was eating an apple or just driving through. I

147
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 3: rolled the window down, not thinking anything of it, and

148
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 3: just threw the apple out the window, and out of nowhere,

149
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 3: a ostrich just ran in swallowed the apple hole, and

150
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 3: then we watched an apple traveled down this ostrich's neck

151
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 3: then just start like doing a pigeon dance thing that

152
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 3: see it, Like, I don't know what happened. I'm assuming

153
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 3: pigeons know how to eat apples, right, I'm assuming I

154
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 3: mean not pigeons, I'm assuming that ostriches know how to

155
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 3: eat apples.

156
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 2: Right. I don't know. I wouldn't assume that. Yeah, I

157
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 2: can't envision it whatsoever. But that's very disturbing for a

158
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: child to see.

159
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: It's very observing.

160
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 3: And then my mom just drove away, like I have

161
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 3: no idea if I killed an ostrich that day as

162
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 3: a ten year old boy, like they were scarring, and

163
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 3: the baboons were even worse. Like the baboons would just

164
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 3: crawl on top of your car and dismantle your car. Yes,

165
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 3: and so now the fact that they to have a

166
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 3: chainsaw is now absolutely terrifying. I love it, but I

167
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 3: say shut them down, freem free them.

168
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 4: And you know because like, well, I don't know what

169
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 4: kind of apple you were eating, Kurt. You know, the

170
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 4: the apple's size is different and some have a lot

171
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 4: of wax on it that an ostrich might not be

172
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 4: used to ingesting, you know, And so you know, that's

173
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,719
Speaker 4: that's that was my gonna be my first question. My

174
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 4: other thought is very interesting that Scotty likes this. When

175
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 4: you said who the writer was of this Yahoo News piece, yeah,

176
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 4: you know you know her work?

177
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 2: Oh, usually guessing it was Ellen Manning. I think he said,

178
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 2: oh my god, it is Ellen. I love her.

179
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: Still trap it's amazing.

180
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 4: Does Ellen cover a lot of animal news?

181
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 3: No, it's a it is a running joke with Scotty

182
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 3: to say that he loves each writer.

183
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're all doing the Lord's work. I love everybody

184
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 2: out there sending us news.

185
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 4: Yeah.

186
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 2: I have no idea who that person is. I'm assuming

187
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 2: it's a woman. But great work, Ellen, Uh, that's top

188

Speaker 4: Keeping Yahoo News Alive. That's what she's doing.

190
00:09:58,679 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 2: Fine.

191
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 3: Uh and or are you missing not doing stand up

Speaker 4: I miss it. I've been doing a lot of zoom

195
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 4: shows actually, and I I've started to like them.

196
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: And it's oh, yeah, I don't know. It's oh nice,

197
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: you have to come to hot Tub.

198
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 4: I did. I did do hot Tub?

199
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: You were I wasn't there. Oh last week?

200
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 4: No, another time, you weren't there.

201
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: Curty guy, he's always these days the hardest guy to

202
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 2: find in the pandemic.

203
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 4: It was it was somebody's birthday. So it was a

204
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 4: good wife's birth Oh that's right, that's right. Yeah, and

205
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 4: so so yeah, no, And I have come to like

206
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 4: doing zoom comedy shows, which is scary to say out loud.

207
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: Yeah.

208
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 4: That means I have to snap out of it, you know,

209
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 4: because that means if I get so used to doing

210
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 4: shows like this staring into a laptop, what am I

211
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 4: going to do when we finally open up and see

212
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 4: the sunlight again?

213
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 3: Oh no, I mean it is so weird to just

214
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 3: stare into that little that little hole on top of you,

215
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 3: on top of your computer and just just give your

216
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 3: comedy to the void.

217
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 4: What I'm saying is, I've come to really like doing that,

218
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 4: and so I'm scared of forgetting how to do actual

219
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 4: standing on a stage in front of humans, is what

220
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 4: I'm saying. I'm gonna have a hard time transitioning back

221
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 4: to that.

222
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 2: I'm more than I'm totally happy standing directly in front

223
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 2: of stage for you and holding your lap up towards

224
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 2: your face while you do stand up for the first time.

225
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 2: I'll come, Scottie. I will.

226
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 4: That's a bold statement.

227
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 2: I'll wear all black. I'll do ten shows for you.

228
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 2: I'll wear all blacks of the audience doesn't even see me.

229
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 3: You play right, put the giant headphones on so that

230
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 3: you block out the audience's laughter as well, so it's

231
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 3: silent for you.

232
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 4: That's right, That's right. That's this is a bold promise.

233
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,599
Speaker 4: I appreciate it so much. No, I'm gonna have to

234
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:50,599
Speaker 4: transition like that.

235
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 2: I have.

236
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 4: I definitely have said I need a laptop in front

237
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 4: of me for the first live show.

238
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 2: Thank you help me?

239
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, Scott, to give me another one.

240
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 2: I got a banana story for you too. Here we go.

241
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 2: This is from CNN, written by Scotty Andrew, just Andrew,

242
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 2: not plural. Great guy, and it was sent in by

243
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 2: Meg Manners, the greatest person in the history of the world.

244
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 2: Thank you Meg. They met on a dating app, then

245
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 2: he robbed a bank on their first date and forced

246
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: her to be a getaway driver. Okay, so you know,

247
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 2: start loading up your worst first date stories. But her

248
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: worst first date began like this. It all started, the

249
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 2: woman told police when she picked up Castillo, that's the

250
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 2: that's the criminal's name, I guess, alleged from his parents'

251
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 2: home in Rhode Island and drove. Yeah, that's a great start. Well, actually,

252
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 2: who knows. It's a pandemic. Everybody's moving home. Who knows?

253
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 2: So then she drove them thirty minutes north to Attleborough, Massachusetts.

254
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 2: She said he drank wine in the passenger seat of

255
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 2: her niece on Maxima. Good start to a first date.

256
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 2: The two had never met in person before that fateful day,

257
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 2: so why would she think anything was wrong? When he

258
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 2: asked her to pull over as they approached a bank,

259
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 2: he got out of the car and left her there

260
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 2: alone for a few minutes. Then suddenly he came running back,

261
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 2: sweating with sunglasses, a hat and a gun. One thousand

262
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 2: dollars cash in hand and yelled fucking go. She panicked

263
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 2: and did what she was told. So Castillo walks into

264
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 2: the Bristol County Savings Bank and North Attleborough shows the

265
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 2: gun and demands a thousand dollars, saying he needed it

266
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 2: badly because he was quote really hurting. The teller handed

267
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 2: him the money. He ran back outside to his date's

268
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 2: Maxima in ordered a step on it.

269
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: So wait, he only stole.

270
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 3: He's specifically like, I need a thousand, that's all, yes,

271
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 3: so genteel number to steal.

272
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 2: He's a gentleman, he's you know, he probably opened the

273
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 2: door for her when well she picked him up. Never mind, Uh,

274
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 2: not a great first date. So this accidental accomplice obeyed.

275
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 2: But once she spotted flashing sirens from the North Attleborough police,

276
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 2: she immediately pulled over and walked away from her car.

277
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 2: Here comes a nice little detail. Castillo stayed inside and

278
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 2: ducked from police. You know, you know that old bit,

279
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 2: that old Merry Melodies bit. He was subuted and handcuffed,

280
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 2: and they found a forty four calver handgun, an antique

281
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 2: handgun belonging to Castillo's stepfather, had sunglasses that matched the description.

282
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 2: He was sentenced to five years incarceration. They found him guilty,

283
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 2: but the date got off without charge, and Scotty says

284
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 2: the real Scotty Scotty Andrew probably with a healthy skepticism

285
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 2: towards online dating. So there you go, that last line.

286
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 4: He really did it. Scotty brought it home.

287
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: He gave us a button to smile away with.

288
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 4: I almost I almost forgot about the date. Yeah, and

289
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 4: then he was like, by the way, the reason why

290
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 4: I started this thing was, remember there was a date.

291
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys on bad first dates, bad first dates

292
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 2: from hell.

293
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 4: What did you say?

294
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 2: Have you ever been on a bad first date from hell?

295
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 4: Oh? No, nothing like that, nothing like that.

296
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 2: No, and you no.

297
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 4: My heart goes out to him. Actually my first thought was,

298
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 4: I mean, that's that's all you know? You shit, he's American.

299
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they were all in Yeah, they were in

300
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 2: Rhode Island and Massachusetts, so they even crossed federal or

301
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 2: state lines, which I think it's it was a great

302
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 2: first date. Memorable, you can say it was memorable for sure.

303
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 3: I just wonder at what point, like if he was

304
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 3: like riding in the car just being like like he

305
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 3: had no plan on robbing a bank. But he's just like,

306
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 3: you know, I always hear women love it when you're spontaneous.

307
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 3: It's always like, what if I just throw a wrench

308
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 3: in this, Let's take a left turn here, and.

309
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: I'll rob this fucking back.

310
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, but she thinks, yeah, it's possible. My thing is

311
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 4: every time I even watch like a show like The

312
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 4: Big Flower Fight or something, it's a British competition show,

313
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 4: I always find myself rooting for the Americans because I

314
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 4: know there's a possibility they might not have healthcare, you

315
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, you know, And it's not I

316
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 4: always end up doing it because I'm just like, I

317
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 4: think they might not have healthcare. They maybe didn't get

318
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 4: their stimulus check. So I'm just like, you know, this

319
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 4: kid's in Rhode Island. He can't help it, you know

320
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 4: what I'm saying, one thousand dollars. I was like, he

321
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 4: probably didn't get a stimulus chick, That's that's what I thought. Yeah,

322
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 4: But because that's you know, and he was like keep

323
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 4: the two hundred, you know. Yeah.

324
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 3: I wonder if there's like a reduced five years. I mean,

325
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 3: like if he had just asked for all the money,

326
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 3: would his like jail time been more than him, just

327
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 3: as thousand dollars or is in his mind.

328
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: He's like thousand dollars.

329
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 3: It keeps him below the radar, right, But he's got

330
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 3: a thousand bucks in their till or whatever.

331
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's got a If he hadn't pulled a gun,

332
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 2: it would have been way less because if it's not

333
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 2: arm robbery, it's way different. But of course he had

334
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 2: his stepfather's antique forty four. You know you're always carrying

335
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 2: around your stepfather's pistol. On a first date, I went

336
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 2: on a MySpace date when I was like twenty five.

337
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 2: Somebody I think he used to be able to do

338
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 2: sort of proximity on that, like are you within fifteen

339
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 2: miles or within twenty miles or something? And I started

340
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 2: chatting with this woman. She seemed totally cool, and she

341
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 2: was like, well, let's meet for a date. But I

342
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 2: had never been on any sort of online date before,

343
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 2: so I planned it to be two blocks from where

344
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 2: I knew a group of my friends were going to be.

345
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 2: Sofa was a terrible date. I could be like, nice

346
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 2: to meet you, and go over to this bar called

347
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 2: the Still in Manhattan, and get out of there. So

348
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 2: I walk in and was at this noodle shop and

349
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 2: as soon as I and I'm like hi, I'm like

350
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 2: I'm Scottie and I sit down and she goes, oh

351
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 2: my god. Before the day can even start, I have

352
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: to tell you that last night I fucked the vice

353
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 2: president of Sci Fi Channel because he kind of looks

354
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 2: like Robert Downey Junior. For if I'm lying, I'm dying.

355
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 2: That's the first thing she says to me besides hello.

356
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 2: So instantly I'm like I want to know more. But

357
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 2: also I'm like, okay, this is not going to be

358
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 2: my this is not my special person. So the day

359
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 2: goes even more haywire and screwy, and we kind of

360
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 2: step outside. I stayed for the whole dinner, of course,

361
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 2: and we step outside and then I'm like, it was

362
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 2: so nice to meet you. I actually have to go

363
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 2: and run and meet some friends at like a later meeting,

364
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 2: but this was really fun. And she goes, oh, I'll come,

365
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 2: and I was like what, and I was like, well,

366
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 2: it's kind of like it's like a weekly group thing

367
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 2: and whatever. She's like, that sounds awesome. So I'm like,

368
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 2: here we go. So I text my friends. I'm like,

369
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 2: I'm coming, like basically like heads up. So we go

370
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 2: in this bar and she and most of my friends

371
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 2: there were gay men, and she instantly starts calling all

372
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 2: of them girl like oh girl, oh you look so pretty,

373
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 2: girl like being so patronizing and like, oh it was,

374
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 2: And they're being really nice because they know I'm on

375
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 2: this date with this person. So she goes downstairs the

376
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 2: bar at that bathroom is downstairs, and they all and

377
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 2: they go, what the hell is this. I'm like, I'm

378
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 2: trying to get out of this date. I've been trying

379
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 2: three times to get out of this date. So they

380
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 2: were like, where does she live? I'm like, I don't know.

381
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 2: And my one friend Fred, who listened to the podcast. Fred,

382
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 2: you probably are remembering the story. We get in a

383
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 2: taxi and we're gonna pretend because Fred lived in Bushwick.

384
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 2: I lived in Brooklyn also, and I was like, let's

385
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 2: just say we're leaving, and then she'll leave and we'll

386
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 2: just take the cab around the block and then come

387
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 2: right back to the bar. That's how bad this got

388
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 2: because she just wouldn't take the hint. And I, you know,

389
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 2: I was twenty five, so I should have just said

390
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, can you please leave? It's not gonna work out.

391
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: But no, at twenty five, that seems like impossible to say.

392
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. And I was just and I'm also like a

393
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 2: pretty nice person, and I was curious up until a

394
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 2: point and then when she started, yeah, anyways, So I'm like,

395
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 2: I'm Fred and I are gonna split a cab. It

396
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 2: was so nice to meet you. She was like, I'll

397
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 2: go and I was like, oh no, And I was like, well,

398
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 2: we're I'm going to go home, so we'll drop you off.

399
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 2: And Fred's looking at me like Jesus Christ. So she

400
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 2: gets in the cab. We're three abreasts or we're three

401
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 2: across in the back seat, and we're on seventeenth Street

402
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 2: and I think first Avenue, maybe third Avenue, And so

403
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 2: we get and I go, so, where do you live?

404
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 2: And she's like oh, to the driver rudely to the cavey,

405
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 2: she goes, h, I live on fourteenth and first she

406
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 2: lived two blocks away, So we go two blocks drop

407
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 2: her out. Fred jumps out of the car to let

408
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 2: her out. She turns and she goes, I had the

409
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 2: most wonderful time and kisses me so hard, like open mouth,

410
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 2: in the back of the cab and I was like, okay.

411
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 2: I was like, nice to meet you. She gets out,

412
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 2: Fred gets back in. He goes, we're going back to

413
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 2: the bar. So the cab whips around, goes the fair

414
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 2: was three dollars and eighty cents. That's how much the

415
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 2: cab fair was. So we just do a loop around

416
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 2: the block to get rid of her. We're all back there.

417
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 2: Everybody's like celebrating that I'm back without her. And then

418
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,719
Speaker 2: like twenty minutes later, I get a text from her

419
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 2: and I'm so relieved and I'm never going to go

420
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 2: on another day with this person. And it says, Hi,

421
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 2: I had an amazing time. Let's not walk on eggshells.

422
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 2: Do you want to be my boyfriend or not? No?

423
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 2: What sure? And I said, I think we're on like

424
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 2: the I think, I said, we're on a different wavelength

425
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 2: and I'm not ready for that kind of commitment right now.

426
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 2: And she goes, ugh, fine, and then blocks me on

427
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 2: my space and I never heard from her again.

428
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 4: A tank that was fast, like someone told her the

429
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 4: next day was going to be the last day on Earth,

00:21:59,400 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 4: you know.

Speaker 4: And it.

433
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 2: Was so intense. Yeah, Fred is a bananimal. I'm sure

00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 2: he remembers the story. It was absolutely banana. It was crazy.

00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:15,640

Speaker 4: was just doing, thoughts. Go.

467
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 2: I was watching a bunch of your clips online and

468
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 2: I realized that you got a little viral infamy because

469
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 2: you were doing stand up during an earthquake. And you

470
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 2: kept going, Oh my god, how was that? Was that? Crazy?

471
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 2: That was?

472
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 4: You know at the moment, it's like everything that I

473
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 4: ever learned kicked in. You know, everything that i'd been

474
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 4: training for, right, whether whether it's whether it's you know,

475
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 4: my parents divorce, my mom's mental illness, you know what

476
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 4: I mean to literally like to even just doing stand

477
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 4: up right, doing stand up any any night is always

478
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 4: like anything can go and so and plus we live

479
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 4: in La so they were always talking about the big one,

480
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,479
Speaker 4: the big earthquick big earthquakes. So yeah, I was like, oh,

481
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 4: I think everything just kicked in all of my instincts

482
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 4: that I've been training for as an Angelina comic. It

483
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 4: was I didn't know I would keep doing stand up,

484
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 4: you know, during it. I you know, I it's interesting

485
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 4: what people do in moments of tragedy.

486
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: It's a really really funny clip. You guys should watch it.

487
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: It's on YouTube, right, Yeah, it's on YouTube.

488
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah.

489
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: That was last fourth of July weekend.

490
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 4: Right. It was because it was a double back to

491
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 4: back big earthquakes.

492
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 3: Yea, two days in a row and the good ones too,

493
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 3: and things just look like you can't really tell in

494
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 3: the video that it's happening, but like what was in

495
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 3: the club happening.

496
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 4: Lights were swaying, and people's like glasses at their tables

497
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 4: at the comedy club, and like their plates their food.

498
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the chicken tenders are just set it right

499
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 2: off the table, jumping on the table. I would eat

500
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 2: it really.

501
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 4: Fast if yeah, just catch it in your mouth. Kids.

502
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 2: One item, this is one item, this is.

503
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: This counts.

504
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 2: That's so cool. I love you did that. Our friend

505
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 2: another guy curtain I used to work on show coup

506
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 2: money from Stanger and our buddy Jeff Di also was

507
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 2: doing a set when that happened, and he did the

508
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 2: same thing where it's like he froze and then he

509
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 2: just like calmed everybody down and then just kind of

510
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 2: continued on doing stand up.

511
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, in a way, that's like what we're trained to

512
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 4: do is like a deal with hecklers and then continue.

513
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 4: The adrenaline is always there anyway doing jokes, right, So,

514
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 4: but I mean at the club, well, I don't feel

515
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 4: bad because they've talked about it before, but at the

516
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 4: club at the time, I did look to the house

517
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,239
Speaker 4: managers to see what to do, and I saw all

518
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 4: of them just look at me from the back of

519
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 4: the room and just run out because at one point

520
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 4: I got house manager, house manager, There's two hundred people

521
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 4: in front of me. I've never been a leader in

522
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 4: a situation like that before, two hundred people looking to

523
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,719
Speaker 4: me for what to do. You know, I have the microphone,

524
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 4: I have the stage. I don't know me, I haven't

525
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 4: I don't know earthquake. So again, like I went to

526
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 4: art school, all I do is just jokes and think

527
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 4: about jokes. I don't know the first thing, and so.

528
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 2: Here, let's pay for tunnels exactly.

529
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, everyone get under a chair and tell stories, you.

530
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: Know, let's relive trauma underneath the table.

531
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, totally totally. But anyway, I saw the house managers

532
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 4: run out, so yeah.

533
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: That's amazing. Are you guys ready for one more story?

534
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 2: Let's go?

535
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 1: Oh I think we could do three more.

536
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 4: Guys.

537
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 3: The plaque commemorating the Glasgow Sherbet explosion of nineteen oh

538
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 3: six has Glaswegians doing a double take.

539
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: So this is from Glasgow.

540
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 3: Live, written by Kirsty Mackenzie, Scotti's best friend.

541
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 2: Oh, I read every letter she has ever typed.

542
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 3: And also just just I want everyone to if anyone

543
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 3: is listening to this that is familiar with Glasgow Live.

544
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: It is the worst website ever.

545
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 2: There is.

546
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 3: There are so many ads and pop ups that I

547
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 3: am literally having to view the article through no shit.

548
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: Like I'm on a big computer.

549
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 5: I have a three and a half inch window that

550
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 5: I can see like four lines of four lines at

551
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 5: a time, and then there's another ad, and there's an

552
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 5: ad on the bottom, and then there's two ads on

553
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 5: the sides, and then they have this weird ad bar

554
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 5: across the top.

555
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: This is terrible, Like fix your fucking website.

556
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 3: I understand print journalism is really having a tough time

557
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 3: right now, but this is not the way to do it,

558
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 3: because no one will go to your site, all right,

559
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 3: So somebody put up this is a sign that can

560
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 3: be found by the River Kelvin, and it is. There's

561
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 3: a picture of it. It looks beautiful. It is like

562
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 3: a real plaque. It looks like it's printed on brass

563
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 3: or something like that. It's a fixed in what looks

564
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 3: like an actual real way.

565
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: And this is the article.

566
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 3: We're not exactly sure, We're not exactly short of interesting monuments.

567
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 3: If you've recently taken a stroll past the River Kelvin,

568
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 3: you may have come across a strange little sign. The

569
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 3: font is so perfect, the plaque so shiny, that it

570
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 3: really could be an official sign marking a heritage landmark.

571
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 3: Yet it seems to tell tale that no one has

572
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 3: ever heard of it.

573
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: Reads.

574
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 3: This plaque marks the site of the Glasgow Sherbert Municipal Works.

575
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 3: The sign goes on in great detail to share the

576
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 3: little known history of an explosion there in nineteen oh

577
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 3: six that could be seen all the way from Port Glasgow.

578
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 3: The plaque alleges at the site was one of the

579
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,479
Speaker 3: quote leading producers of Sherbert in the world until one

580
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 3: faithful day a young apprentice named Bert dropped a glass

581
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 3: of pineapple ade in powder Room B. The resulting Sherbert

582
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 3: explosion blue young Bert from the first floor into the

583
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 3: adjacent brewery, sending beer everywhere. The sign claims the resulting

584
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 3: mix quote of Sherbert and fuzzy liquid caused a foam

585
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 3: explosion which could be seen from Port Glasgow, and was

586
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 3: to rewrite the town planning rule book on the placement

587
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 3: of Sherbert factories. But the bonkers doesn't stop there. Apparently,

588
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 3: children from all across the city were quote drafted into

589
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 3: eating their way through the Sherbert.

590
00:30:58,880 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: From the mountains.

591
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 3: Oh No, as young as six and seven worked tirelessly

592
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 3: through the night what to chomp, trapped families from their

593
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 3: homes and free up the area's streets and pavements, with

594
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 3: no regard for their own dental health and it amazingly

595
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 3: some Sherbet residue can still be seen on local buildings

596
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 3: and flagstones to this day. I just want to say,

597
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 3: whoever put this plaque up, I love you. You're bananimal

598
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 3: of the week.

599
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 2: Yes, huge Bananimal of the Week. Fake signs are the

600
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 2: greatest prank, especially when they last a really long time. Yes,

601
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 2: Karen Kilgareff, I'm gonna have to text her doing this.

602
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 2: I'll try to find out the information. But I think

603
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,959
Speaker 2: in this small park in Silver Lake, there's this fountain,

604
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 2: and in the fountain somebody put a plaque that I

605
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 2: think was there for something like eleven years that said

606
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 2: dedicated in honor and then was a woman's name, as

607
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 2: like Ruth was say, it's Ruth Johnston. She hated this

608
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 2: park and it's forever. People just thought it was real.

609
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 2: I'll text Gari, but I love that kind of shit.

610
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 2: We kurtain. I've done kind of stuff like that before.

611
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 2: And our brewer puts stickers on fruit that say the

612
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 2: wrong thing in grocery store.

613
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,479
Speaker 1: It's really funny and also hurt used to sign greeting cards.

614
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.

615
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 3: Well, Also there is down in Silver Lake there is

616
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 3: I put up underneath a regular stop sign, there's another

617
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 3: stop sign and so it just says stop, no, you stop, uh,

618
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 3: And it's like on there. It's been on there for

619
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 3: I think seven years now, and no one's been. No

620
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 3: one's taken it down, so I'm pretty excited.

621
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: This is my favorite.

622
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 3: One of my favorite things is fake plaques around town.

623
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, so great. I commend you all for like

624
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 4: doing that. Like I always, I'm always like, oh, that's

625
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 4: so cool. Why don't I have that kind of personality

626
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 4: or motivation. I don't I come up with that. You know,

627
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 4: I can appreciate it really well, but I'm never like,

628
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 4: I don't know if I'm too scared to like in

629
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 4: the middle of the night run up and post it.

630
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 2: No performance art. When you were in art school, you didn't.

631
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 2: You and your friends didn't go out and like kind

632
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 2: of post public things that you thought might bring a

633
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 2: little joy into people's lives.

634
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 4: No, I just did it. I was I did, Like,

635
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 4: I just when it when it was right, you know,

636
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 4: Like I did like a performance in Chinatown, but it

637
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 4: was like a it was like a dance performance. I

638
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 4: wasn't daring, you know, because yeah, because at the time

639
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 4: people were doing like, you know, like just rolling around

640
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 4: on the ground naked kind of stuff.

641
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, yeah, but I.

642
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 4: Think it's because everyone in art school. Actually, this is why,

643
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 4: this is why the kind of pranks you're talking about

644
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 4: wasn't happening because they were so serious. They weren't into

645
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 4: they weren't funny. They weren't what you were doing is

646
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 4: silly and funny. They weren't into the sillies. So they

647
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 4: would never do it a fake placard because they think

648
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,800
Speaker 4: that's like, ooh, amateure. You know. They'd rather like, you know,

649
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 4: pee in a cup and then drink it.

650
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,280
Speaker 3: Were you doing comedy when you were going to art school?

651
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 3: And where did you go to art school at?

652
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 4: I went to cal Arts.

653
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,320
Speaker 1: Okay, you're doing comedy during that time or did you

654
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: find it later?

655
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 4: I was doing comedy. I started comedy before art school,

656
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 4: but when I was in art school because I double

657
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 4: majored like a psychopath, I didn't have time to do

658
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 4: comedy as much. So, but I actually got in with

659
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 4: some of my like with stand up writing, and I

660
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 4: sent that a clip of me doing comedy, so I

661
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 4: was like, oh, that's cool. They considered that creative writing.

662
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 4: But then once I was there, there was nowhere to

663
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 4: implement it. Like anytime I wanted to do comedy, they

664
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 4: were kind of they were like, ah, that's so like immature,

665
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 4: just like jokes and joke writing where could you know,

666
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 4: do something crazier like you know, berry roasted roast chicken

667
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 4: from Ralphs or something, you know what I mean.

668
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think in college I also thought comedy was

669
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 3: like stupid.

670
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 2: You know.

671
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 3: It wasn't until I got out of that academic kind

672
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 3: of sphere that I saw that it was like so

673
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 3: joyful and what I wanted to do, yeah, which was

674
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 3: always too bad.

675
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: You wait, you were doing stand up when you were

676
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:29,240
Speaker 1: in like high school.

677
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 4: I started, no, like right after I went to so

678
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 4: kell Art's was grad school. Yeah, yeah, I started when

679
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 4: I was like twenty stand up yeah, okay, yeah, and

680
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 4: then but you know, yeah, I love stop stop, no,

681
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 4: you stop.

682
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:44,320
Speaker 3: Come on.

683
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,879
Speaker 4: That's a that's a that's a thesis. That's that could

684
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 4: be someone's thesis at kell Arts.

685
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 2: At my college, my we had a sketch TV show

686
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 2: and nobody really had a TV show. We had the

687
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 2: crappiest TV studio. And I actually went back and just

688
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,720
Speaker 2: walked the campus like two years ago, and it hasn't

689
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 2: been upgraded at all. I mean, it's incredibly bad. One day,

690
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 2: if I have like a distant uncle that leaves me

691
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 2: a billion dollars, I'll upgrade U Mass's TV Studio. But

692
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 2: we that my buddy John Green, who was on the show,

693
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 2: he on The Sketch Show. He had this idea that

694
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 2: you know how like when somebody hand you a flyer

695
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 2: and you take it and you look at it for

696
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 2: one second, then you instantly throw it away. So we

697
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 2: would have one of us handing out flyers to tell

698
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 2: everybody that our shows were on Tuesday nights, and then

699
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,919
Speaker 2: we had another friend holding a trash bag ten feet

700
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 2: behind you, so and we would just recycle him. And

701
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 2: so we just kept handing out the same like it

702
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 2: was the best idea. It was so genius, and we

703
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 2: would just take them back out and hand them back

704
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 2: out and people would read them and then we'd be like,

705
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 2: you could throw it out right here, and they would

706
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 2: put it in. We'd hand it better. So we only

707
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 2: had to print like twenty flyers. We handed it out

708
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 2: to like fifteen thousand students. But that curtain. I went

709
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 2: to Kaskaskia, which is the smallest town in Illinois, and

710
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 2: at one point I think it was the capital of

711
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 2: Illinois for them a little bit.

712
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 3: It was until the river moved around it. And this

713
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 3: was during when we were when jets we were jet

714
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 3: skiing from Chicago to New Orleans.

715
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 2: Right, and so we decided to go to the smallest

716
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 2: town in Illinois, which it was eleven people or fourteen people.

717
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: It kept going like back and forth because people would die.

718
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 2: Right, So there were eight people. So we went to

719
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 2: all eight residence houses and knocked on the door and

720
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 2: then Kurt delivered them a bunt cake. Each person got

721
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 2: a bunk cake. Now, in a lot of places you go,

722
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,760
Speaker 2: I wouldn't open the door if there was a camera

723
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 2: crew and a strange man wearing a tuxied a wet suits.

724
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 2: They opened the door. Yes, behind Kurt. They opened the door.

725
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 2: We gave them bunk cakes. They were very grateful. And

726
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 2: then our big surprise reveal and the show was we

727
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 2: had gotten them a billboard along their main highway there

728
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 2: on the interstate that said, well, Kurt, tell them.

729
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 1: I think it said.

730
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 3: Said so it was a photograph of kittens, like eight

731
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 3: kittens jumping out of a birthday cake. And then it

732
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 3: just said Kaskaskia, we're doing fine.

733
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 2: So we take all eight people and most of them

734
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 2: are fold them.

735
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,399
Speaker 1: They don't know the buck is going on a lot

736
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: of it, but they're saying yeah.

737
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:12,919
Speaker 4: Wow.

738
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're median age sixty five. I would say, these

739
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 2: eight people and we tell them to turn around, and

740
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,240
Speaker 2: then they see the sign and some of them were crying,

741
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 2: some of them hugged us, some of them hugged each other,

742
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 2: and it was like, we acknowledged this town in the

743
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 2: middle of nowhere. So big shout out to Kaskaskia. If

744
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 2: Comedy Center would have given us more money, we would

745
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 2: pay to add that thing up for twenty years. But

746
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 2: it was so funny going out of a cake for

747
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,399
Speaker 2: a town that is completely forgotten by time.

748
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 4: Oh that's amazing you guys.

749
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 2: Guys, this is a flash update from Caen from Karen

750
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 2: Kilgareth answered my text. Guys, we're friends like that. I

751
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 2: know her. It says it's a fake memorial plaque. It

752
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:00,320
Speaker 2: says in memory of Roger Bucklesby, who hate did this

753
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 2: park and everyone in it.

754
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 3: That's so simple. Oh man, I want to make some

755
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 3: fake plaques. It just it's inspires me. That's what I

756
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 3: would love to say, because Scotty and all I always

757
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:15,320
Speaker 3: used to have this idea that we would have the

758
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 3: Army of the Absurd if we ever got a show.

759
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 3: People would go out and do shit like this in

760
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 3: the world, just making the world a little more absurd

761
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 3: and ban animals. If anybody wants to make their own

762
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,399
Speaker 3: plaque and put it up, please.

763
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 1: See us a photograph. We will we will worship you. Yeah,

764
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:32,399
Speaker 1: you got to give me another one?

765
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 2: Is it me?

766
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 4: Oh?

767
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 2: Good?

768
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 4: Uh?

769
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 2: Angela Jeffreedy love her great writer. Everywhere is a blessing

770
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 2: for The Guardian headline goes something like this. Venice gondola

771
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:53,320
Speaker 2: tours reduced capacity due to overweight tourists. So these overweight

772
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 2: tourists and this is happening right now, which I felt

773
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 2: better because it means it's not Americans, because we're not

774
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 2: allowed any We're not allowed in Europe, so right the

775
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 2: rest of the world is getting chubbed. Nope, nope. So

776
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 2: they had to go from maximum number of passengers, had

777
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 2: to go from six people to five. Venice gondoliers have

778
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 2: reduced capacity on their boats, blaming the increased burden on

779
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 2: overweight tourists. Uh so as a classic tour the city's canals,

780
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,720
Speaker 2: but they've had to pull it down because the boats

781
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 2: are sinking low enough where water is now getting into

782
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 2: the boats and the gondoliers, which Kurt's done a gondola

783
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 2: comedy show a couple of times. They don't have a

784
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 2: way to measure or they don't have scales, so they

785
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 2: just had to drop a person. They said, we can

786
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:40,839
Speaker 2: only have five and not six. And this is after

787
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 2: like decades of doing this.

788
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: That would be crazy. If they had a scale before

789
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: you got.

790
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,280
Speaker 2: I think that would be a problem, honestly.

791
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 4: So this is very it feels very targeted. It's like,

792
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 4: we're not gonna name who, but it's the one person

793
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 4: that we need.

794
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 2: To kick off. That's right, Gary, Yeah, it's just.

795
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 4: One less person, that's all. That's all close their eyes,

796
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 4: end point. We'll just close our eyes and point and

797
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 4: then we'll open our eyes.

798
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 2: Whoever's Yeah, So this guy named Raoul Veverato, who's the

799
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 2: president of the Association of Substitute Gondoliers, which I'll get

800
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 2: to because there is a very exclusive thing to be

801
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 2: a gondolier, and it's also an exclusive thing to be

802
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 2: a substitute gondolier.

803
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 3: So stitute gondolier, none of the passengers pay attention to

804
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 3: you and.

805
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 2: Just yeah, yeah. They just put their head down and

806
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 2: sleep and they all pretend that their name isn't their name.

807
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, they just show movies.

808
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: They don't even get on the boat.

809
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 6: They the boat send an old magma box TV with

810
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 6: a v HS on it, and you're like, yes, yes,

811
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,399
Speaker 6: they're gonna show Escape from Which Mountain again.

812
00:41:56,440 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 2: So this is what very good specific got it. Remember it.

813
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 2: Raoul said this to La Republica and these are his words.

814
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 2: Tourists are now overweight from some countries. Bombs load onto

815
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 2: our boats. Okay, this is just name calling at this point.

816
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 2: And when the boat is fully loaded, the hall sinks

817
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 2: and water enters. Advancing with over half a ton of

818
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 2: meat on board is dangerous. Raoul, you are an evil man.

819
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 2: Have some compassion, you idiot. So here's just some factoids

820
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 2: for you two, because I know you both thrive on facts.

821
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 2: Though anybody can apply to be a gondolier, the idea

822
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 2: is to protect the trade. So there they don't want

823
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 2: outsider gondolier families to start taking over. Very strange. So

824
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 2: they're the profession which has been a pillar of a

825
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 2: venice since since one ninety four, almost said nineteen oh four.

826
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:02,479
Speaker 2: Since one thousand nine. There are four hundred and thirty

827
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,919
Speaker 2: three gondoliers and one hundred and eighty substitute gondoliers. Also,

828
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 2: I think Venice is going to be completely underwater in

829
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 2: like five years, So go there if you can. And

830
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 2: the gondolier world is unique. Thirty four hundred and thirty

831
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 2: three of us. Finding someone from Paris, New York or

832
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 2: any other cities would not be a continuation of the tradition.

833
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 2: It would be like a pizza maker who isn't from Naples.

834
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 2: I mean Italy is shots fired, shots fired Italy?

835
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 4: Right?

836
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:31,760
Speaker 2: Yahause.

837
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 4: So I went to Venice High School in Los Angeles, OK.

838
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 4: And and our mascot guess what it was. We were.

839
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 4: We were the Gondoliers.

840
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 3: No, really nice guy who dressed up as a gondolier

841
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 3: like games and stuff and dance.

842
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, don't tell this guy, you know, if he's

843
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 4: if he's worried about fakes, Oh my god. And I

844
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 4: was a cheerleader too, So every Friday football season I

845
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 4: was dancing with the Venice gondolier, you know. But yeah,

846
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 4: he was like, but what is it like he was?

847
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,840
Speaker 4: He was in there, he had the hat, but it

848
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 4: was like a fake. You know, he had to put

849
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 4: on a head too. You know what I'm saying, okay.

850
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 2: How about fake mustache, fake Italian racist, stereotypical mustache.

851
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, a little bit. It was, it was, it was questionable,

852
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 4: but so I can see why, you know anyway, but

853
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 4: the gondos close to my heart because we we that

854
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:30,720
Speaker 4: was that was our team.

855
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 3: We have a we have a good friend, poet Derek Brown.

856
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 3: Someday we'll be on bananas. And he was a he

857
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 3: was a Long Beach gondolier for many years, and so

858
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 3: and like because Long Beach has these kind of beautiful canals.

859
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 3: Nobody knows about Long Beach, California, and and so he

860
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 3: and I started and you should come do it. When

861
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 3: the choir is over, let's go. But it's a comedy

862
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 3: show on a gondola at it's really really.

863
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 4: Fun, so gorgeous. So you are the gondolier, like the

864
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 4: stand up is the.

865
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:11,320
Speaker 3: So there's two gondolas, each fit fourteen people. You go

866
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 3: on a gondola ride like through the canals, and then

867
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:17,800
Speaker 3: we anchor we like or them or anchor them in

868
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 3: the middle of the bay right at sunset, and then

869
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 3: they're tied together. The two boats are tied together, so

870
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,280
Speaker 3: you have like a little stage in front it's amazing.

871
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 3: The gondoliers are in the back and then I just

872
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,359
Speaker 3: stand in the back with like a flashlight for your light,

873
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 3: and then we have a little mic and a little

874
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 3: amp and you do stand up or whatever you want

875
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 3: to do.

876
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's so gorgeous.

877
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 2: It was really it's fun. You get wine drunk. I

878
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 2: sat there with our mutual friend Molly and just you

879
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 2: get wine drunk and watch comedians like doing stand up

880
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 2: on a gone a gondola and uh, just trying not

881
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 2: to fall in the water. And it's beautiful.

882
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 4: So you almost forget you're in Long Beat.

883
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, not that you know.

884
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 4: Long Beach is great.

885
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:05,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, we love Long Beach. Number number one.

886
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:16,439
Speaker 1: This is so fascinating. This is like less, This isn't

887
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 1: there's no okay. One.

888
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 3: This is from Yahoo News by our buddy Katie Mather.

889
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:27,359
Speaker 2: Ah, God, take my heart.

890
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:33,399
Speaker 3: Uh, one in ten think partner eating McDonald's without them

891
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:35,320
Speaker 3: is as bad as cheating.

892
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:36,879
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

893
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 3: Bold So this is a This was a one pole

894
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 3: survey of one thousand people in the UK found that

895
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 3: more than one in ten people consider their signament significant

896
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 3: other eating McDonald's without them to be as bad as cheating.

897
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 1: I don't know who the fuck.

898
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 3: Is doing Like, I understand one pole is doing this,

899
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,320
Speaker 3: but I don't understand who at one pole was like,

900
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 3: we gotta find out what people think about their partner

901
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 3: eating McDonald's without them. So it's unclear what area of

902
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,280
Speaker 3: the UK was pulled for the survey, but the study

903
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 3: did note that the UK's lockdown has prevented people from

904
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 3: getting fast food months, which could arguably influence their devotion

905
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 3: to the chain. According to me are online, one in

906
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 3: five people interviewed said the taste of a Big Mac

907
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 3: after lockdown did did Bigdonald's pay for this?

908
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:26,320
Speaker 2: We paid for this?

909
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh, very specific, okay, the big Mac.

910
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 3: One in five people interviewed said the taste of a

911
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 3: Big Mac after lockdown would be better than a raise

912
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 3: at work. Sixteen percent of the group said eating a

913
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 3: Big Mac after months without McDonald's would be as exciting

914
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:48,799
Speaker 3: as the birth of their first child. Thirteen percent said

915
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 3: the experience would be better than their wedding day. Also

916
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:55,879
Speaker 3: found that forty five percent of the People's surveys said

917
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:56,840
Speaker 3: they would rather give.

918
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 1: Up alcohol than McDonald's.

919
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 2: I'd rather die.

920
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 3: One in ten would rather get rid of their cell

921
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,760
Speaker 3: phone and twenty nine percent would rather give up watching

922
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 3: sports for a year if it meant they could eat

923
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 3: a big Mac.

924
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 1: Right now? What the fuck is going on?

925
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:13,320
Speaker 4: Did they just do it?

926
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 1: Yeah?

927
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 4: I mean they just interviewed people really down on luck,

928
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:22,880
Speaker 4: their luck, like they they just did. They just like go,

929
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 4: they just went up to a homeless person. I'm like,

930
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 4: and who has no phone and home.

931
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: And job or a love or a partner or a partner.

932
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 1: So he was like, yeah, I think is that I

933
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 1: want a big Mac?

934
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 4: He was like, yeah, I'm hungry. Yeah, I want to say, yeah,

935
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 4: I'd rather do a sandwich, give up drinking. Yeah, I

936
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 4: don't have access to that right now? What that's what happened.

937
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 1: That's what that's gotta be.

938
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 3: I mean, or they all of these people are McDonald's employees,

939
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 3: do you know.

940
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 2: What I mean?

941
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 3: They all were McDonald's corporate and I don't know. This

942
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:58,799
Speaker 3: is the way we got to answer this survey. I mean,

943
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 3: do people love McDonald that much? Am I maybe missing something?

944
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 2: I mean, clearly billions of people love McDonald's, but more

945
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,839
Speaker 2: than kids, like the only one that I was like sure,

946
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 2: it was like I'd rather McDonald's than get rid of

947
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 2: my cell phone. I'm like, yes, we all at some

948
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 2: point you're like, I hate this thing, but what I

949
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 2: mean who? And also giving up alcohol? Who isn't drunk

950
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:24,280
Speaker 2: going to McDonald's as an adult? Like, that's only forty

951
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:25,280
Speaker 2: of the decision.

952
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 1: Who's going sober McDonald's trips? That seems like the big question.

953
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 4: I need to physically see with my eyes these people

954
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 4: that they interviewed.

00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:54,000

962
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:01,879

963
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,480

964
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 3: past five years.

965
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:06,480

967
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 1: Then I get to fly out airplanes.

00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 2: You look at him.

969
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 4: In the airport, well to well traveled.

970
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:28,839
Speaker 3: Aren't you a fancy man eating our our delicious McDonald's

971
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 3: in your you joke?

972
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:32,200

976
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:46,000

977
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 2: how and people are just craving. And also they got

978
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:52,640

982
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 3: I'm not shitting on McDonald's here. What I'm shipping on

983
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 3: is any sandwich being better than the birth of your child.

984

1039
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:27,759
Speaker 3: It's a terrifying animal that has spikes on its forehead.

1040
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 3: It is really because like when you look at a

1041
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 3: dairy cow on a field and you're like, you know,

1042
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:35,800
Speaker 3: moo at it or whatever, it doesn't seem it seems

1043
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 3: like a large beast, but it does not seem like

1044
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 3: a dangerous beast. But then a bull really scares this.

1045
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 3: Like when my first saw one, I was like, oh,

1046
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 3: this is a terrifying animal.

1047
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean, and the horns, even the pointy

1048
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 4: parts are going backwards. It's going backwards as to say,

1049
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 4: here's a warning. These could be pointing at you, you

1050
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 4: know what I mean. But yeah, he even gives you

1051
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 4: the smooth side first to be you know what I mean.

1052
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 1: Get to know me, get to know me.

1053
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:09,759
Speaker 3: This is what I'm really like, the smooth side. But

1054
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 3: if you piss me off, my head goes down.

1055
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:15,439
Speaker 4: That's right, That's right. Yeah. And this motherfucker he walked

1056
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:17,400
Speaker 4: up to it slowly to just.

1057
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 2: Wait, just ignores the cops. Also, the situation was under control.

1058
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 2: That's the very funniest part is like they were a

1059
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:27,279
Speaker 2: few quote a few yards from their destination and this

1060
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 2: other guy just comes strut across the road and it's

1061
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,560
Speaker 2: probably like running an MLM, and he's like, I know

1062
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 2: what to do, and then just kids gored. Oh boy, wow,

1063
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:40,200
Speaker 2: I love it so much. Yeah, so good.

1064
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:43,919
Speaker 4: I did. Also, I liked the story because I didn't

1065
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:48,320
Speaker 4: know there were bulls in Brentwood, Yes, right, yeah, I

1066
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:51,320
Speaker 4: just thought it was like marathon runners, that's it in

1067
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 4: Brentwood up there.

1068
00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, gondoliers and marathon runners in Brentwood, New Hampshire.

1069
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 4: This is oh Brentwood, New Hampshire.

1070
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:02,360
Speaker 2: Sure, I missed that.

1071
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:03,319
Speaker 4: I missed that.

1072
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:07,879
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. If there was a bull there, it would

1073
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:09,800
Speaker 2: be a whole different story. But there would also be

1074
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:12,800
Speaker 2: so many influencers taking selfie's in front of it that

1075
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:15,879
Speaker 2: somebody would eventually get gorder tramp. Yeah, without an that's right.

1076
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:18,359
Speaker 4: That's why I was like weird, you know, I am.

1077
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:20,840
Speaker 4: I was surprised I hadn't heard about it. You know.

1078
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:24,360
Speaker 2: I was on the opposite side of a fence, on

1079
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 2: the right side of a fence, you might say, and

1080
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:29,600
Speaker 2: a person I knew their uncle had longhorn. There was

1081
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:32,320
Speaker 2: longhorned Texas cattle this and it was in the South

1082
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:35,360
Speaker 2: and I was standing along the fence drinking a margarita.

1083
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:39,320
Speaker 2: And it was in the south, so the margarita was

1084
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 2: in this margarita glass that was about as big as

1085
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 2: a fish bowl. And I'm standing there talking to my

1086
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 2: friend and this long horned cattle bends its head over

1087
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:49,719
