Speaker 3: Ever, I mean, like, have I told this long extent

28
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 3: I guess I must have told this.

29
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: Long extend story.

30
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 3: Maybe's yeah, my mom, I like, okay, So when my

31
00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 3: brother Walter was having his first kid fifty years ago, okay,

32
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 3: he found out for my dad I had been born

33
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 3: at home and he had asked my dad like, how

34
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 3: is Kurt able to be born at home if it

35
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 3: was Barbara's first kid?

36
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: And uh, and my dad had just said, oh, yeah,

37
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: she had a kid before Kurt most drunkenly, so casual, so.

38
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 3: Casual, and and Walter was like what. And then Walter

39
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 3: came and visited me, like I think, like I don't know.

40
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 3: It must have been a couple months maybe a year later,

41
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: and then he was like, hey, listen, Dad said this

42
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 3: really weird thing. And I was like, that's not true,

43
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 3: like because from my mom I was an only child.

44
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 3: Essentially I have seven half brothers and sisters.

45
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: And then I was like that's not true.

46
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 3: But then I was just like it's just like sat

47
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 3: in my head for a little while, you know, where

48
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 3: it's like no, there's no there's no way, there's no way.

49
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: Of course you thought about that. Why would you ever

50
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: stop thinking about it?

51
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: I'm very good at not thinking about that things.

52
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: Well, that's a skill. That's a skill.

53
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: It is a skill. Out of sight, out of mind

54
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: really works well for me. All of a sudden, I

55
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: could just be like, doo do do do do do doo?

56
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 3: She just like a little Labrador retriever. And and it

57
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 3: was probably I think it took it. It took me

58
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 3: like a year to get up the nerve to ask

59
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 3: my mom. And then she was like, yeah, yeah, uh,

60
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 3: And I was like, why have you never told? She

61
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 3: was like, I was sixteen years old and I was

62
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 3: sent away to live with nuns.

63
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: And when I.

64
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 3: Came, nobody ever talked about it, and the baby was

65
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 3: given up for adoption. I really didn't have a choice

66
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 3: in the matter, and no one talked about it, and

67
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 3: so I never talked about it.

68
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: And it was insane.

69
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a lot to that's a lot, that's a

70
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 2: lot of input.

71
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: That's a lot. That's a lot to deal with.

72
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 3: And then and then shortly thereafter she got sick, and

73
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 3: so you couldn't yell at her all right, or I

74
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 3: couldn't really like just didn't I just felt weird about

75
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 3: bringing it up, you know, yeah, of course. And then

76
00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 3: after she died, I went looking for him.

77
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: And it was like this lock but I had no idea.

78
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: I had no idea. All I knew was that she

79
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: was sixteen and there was nuns. That was it. That

80
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: was all I had to go on.

81
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, a total stranger. This person's a stranger to you.

82
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

83
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 3: And so I was just trying to figure out where

84
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,119
Speaker 3: could it be. I was like contacting it adoption ations.

85
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 3: I was looking into the state records, but the church.

86
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 3: But the church keeps everything like itself, you.

87
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 2: Know, yeah, I think famously the Catholic Church keeps a

88
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: secret or two, those bounds locked down.

89
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 3: And and so then I finally found this book called

90
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 3: The Girls Who Went Away, which is all about these

91
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 3: places called maternity homes that existed pre rovers this wade

92
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 3: and why it's so critical to make sure that abortions

93
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 3: is healthcare agreed. And it was forced birth. It was

94
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 3: forced birth on a massive scale. And uh, and it

95
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 3: happened not only in the Catholic Church but outside of

96
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 3: it as well. Sure, And then finally got in touch

97
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 3: and like got in touch with the Catholic organization who

98
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 3: now has the records in nineteen ninety five, so many

99
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 3: people sued because they were like closed, no one could

100
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 3: find out anything about it, so many people sued. There

101
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 3: finally were like, okay, we'll let you do it, but

102
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 3: there's a lot of rules about it.

103
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: Had to go through all this rigmarole and then found him.

104
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 3: And then they were like, all right, we found him,

105
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 3: Like write a letter and we'll see if he wants

106
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: to contact you. And so I wrote him this whole

107
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 3: letter and then they were like, this has never happened.

108
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: To us before.

109
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 2: Oh, you're kidding, but.

110
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 3: He's actually deceased. I'm so sorry. And it was just

111
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 3: like oh.

112
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 2: No, okay, well but I will say writing that letter,

113
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 2: like whatever you put in that letter matters and is important,

114
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 2: and I'm at least glad you got to write that letter,

115
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 2: even if it didn't make it to him. Yeah, it's

116
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: a great statement of you and how you wanted to

117
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 2: present yourself. So there's something beautiful about an unread letter.

118
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 2: It was a letter that you needed to send.

119
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then there is a silver lining to it.

120
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 3: There is a beautiful ending to this is that he

121
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 3: has two daughters who are my nieces i've never met.

122
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 3: They came out I think in like in that twenty

123
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 3: twenty or yeah, okay, yeah, or twenty twenty one, and

124
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 3: we got to meet them.

125
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: And now they're coming out again.

126
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 3: So they're gonna be staying at our house this weekend

00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 3: and I'm picking them up from the airport in a

128
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 3: couple hours.

129
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 2: That's exciting.

130
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: It's really cool.

131
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 3: It's like to all of a sudden have and also weirdly,

132
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 3: it's like a little piece of my mom as well

133
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 3: to have back.

134
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 2: So well, yeah, that's beautiful. How so they must be

148
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 2: didn't want people to say foot longs. He wanted really dogs.

149

Speaker 2: I'm all good. I also, you know, funnily that's not

160
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 2: word right. But my cousin Maddie is on the mend.

161
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: She had an injury, she had a fall, and she's

162
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 2: doing better. But she also texts me out of the blue,

163
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 2: so get well soon, Maddie. I think she's on the

164
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 2: road door recovery. But because the Olympics are on right now, well,

165
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: the Olympics will be over by the time this one

166
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: comes out, but they're coming to Los Angeles in twenty

167
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight and Maddie was the first person in

168
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 2: my life that was like, I called dibbs on staying

169
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 2: at your place because I want to go to the

170
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 2: Olympics in twenty twenty eight. And I'm like, you could

171
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 2: take the whole house if you dogs it, and if

172
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: you dogs it, I'm out of here. I might go

173
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 2: to New Zealand, I might go to Australia. I'm going

174
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 2: to get out of LA for the Olympics. Even though

175
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 2: these were my favorite Olympics ever, Like I watched so much. Yeah,

176
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: the spirit of this one for whatever reason, mm hmm.

177
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 2: I was cheering for other countries. I was cheering for

178
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 2: people getting third place. It was so fun. And I

179
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 2: honestly had changed my perception of the Olympics because the

180
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 2: last few, maybe because of COVID, maybe because I'm an adult.

181
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 2: I think now that i'm middle age, it's like I

182
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: look at these young people achieving their dreams and it's incredible.

183
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: And you think it's only downhill from here.

184
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, you should have chose it, you sho. You should

185
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 2: have aimed at the arts because you can get better

186
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 2: at the arts until the day you die, but you'll

187
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 2: never be as strong as you were at twenty eight.

188
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 2: You stupid, stupid Mark. No, they're so interesting. But yeah,

189
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 2: so I'm going to get out of here. Maddie's going

190
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 2: to take over the house and hopefully dogs it, and honestly,

191
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 2: all my cousins, a lot of them, do listen to bananas.

192
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 2: You're all welcome to stay here. I won't be, but

193
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: I will pick you up from the airport and then

194
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: I'll drive myself back to the airport and I'm out

195
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 2: of here.

196
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 3: No, they have to take the train. We're building this

197
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 3: train specifically for the Olympics. They must take it.

198
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, the train. And then they're trying to build for

199
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 2: non Southern California Angelino's. They're trying to build this I

200
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 2: don't even know what you would call it. Like they're

201
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 2: trying to build a gondola system from the train station

202
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 2: to Dodger Stadium to transport people who are Dodgers fans

203
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 2: and Olympic fans, and then the people that live underneath

204
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 2: where these gondolas can be built are furious and trying

205
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 2: to stop it, which is probably understandable. I mean, do

206
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 2: you want one hundred thousand people an hour going over

207
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 2: your backyard? It's like it, but it does seem fun.

208
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: It does seem so fun.

209
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 2: You could drink a beer on it. It sounds like

210
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 2: a really cool way to see downtown.

211
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 3: La ah Man, I don't know. Gondolas are gorgeous. To

212
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 3: have a gondola like that you can see from your backyard,

213
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 3: that kind of seems fun to me. I also don't

214
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 3: I'm not out in my backyard, just like putting my

215
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 3: buttold of the sun, do you know what I mean?

216
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, exactly not New York. I could get

217
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: into some stuff.

218
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think Shalen Woodley was really into that. We

219
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 2: did a story about people getting their taint sun burnt

220
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: a while ago, and I think they were all just

221
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 2: sticking it where the sun does shine.

222
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I bet I bet you they don't have

223
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 3: gondolas in their neighborhood.

224
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: No, I wish I you had a gondola. You want

225
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: to hear about this Wiener mobile?

226
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Wiener I have a car crash one too.

227
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: I'll do after this.

228
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: Oh here it is this one sent in by a

229
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: few obviously, But when I first saw it from Milicia

230
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: Melissa delishnee m oh the Delicious Milicious Militia Delishnie Militia Deliichnee.

231
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 2: She sends a lot of good stories. She's a good

232
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 2: ban animal.

233
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 3: Oscar Meyer Wiener mobile crashes flips on its side. I'm

234
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 3: busy Chicago area highway.

235
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: This is from five Chicago, NBC Chicago dot com, published

236
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: by the NBC Chicago staff that is swinging.

237
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 2: That swing in Chicago staff.

238
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 3: Here it is a Wiener mobile crash into a vehicle

239
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 3: and flipped on its side around lunchtime Monday on a

240
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 3: busy Chicago area highway eleven twelve AM and Oscar Meyer

241
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 3: wienomobiles traveling in the name northbound Landes on Interstate two

242
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 3: ninety four just before Roosevelt Road when the wienermobile driver

243
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 3: struck a Hyundai Sedan also traveling north. After striking the Hyundai,

244
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 3: the driver of the Wienermobile lost control, over corrected, and

245
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 3: rolled onto its side.

246
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: All the no injuries were reported. Good good, good, according

247
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: to the Wienermobile tracker website. There's a Wienermobile tracker website.

248
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 2: Of course.

249
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 3: Next stop was a Tony's Fresh Market in Round Lake Beach.

250
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 3: With the Wienermobile, which travels year round, uses six different

251
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 3: hot dogs on wheels, driving around the country at all times.

252
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 3: The tracking website said, and that is how they had

253
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 3: decided to end that article.

254
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 2: Just there, just one fact. And then that staff was like,

255
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: get me out of here, get out you guys. A

256
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 2: I could have done it. Yes, sum it up, wrap

257
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 2: it up.

258
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 3: But the also that's the wienermobiles are driven for those

259
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 3: of you who don't know by like low pay, like

260
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 3: people who like volunteer. Essentially, it's I don't think it's

261
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 3: paid very well.

262
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're just.

263
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 3: Out of college, they're like twenty three years old. So

264
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 3: my heart goes out to the driver of that Wiener

265
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 3: mobile who was having a summer, having a summer driving

266
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 3: the Wiener Mobile probably the best some of their lives.

267
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and it's probably very stressful to drive the Wienermobile.

268
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: It doesn't seem to be made for.

269
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 2: You know, maneuvering, maneuvering.

270
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 3: Probably stressful to be into the city situation.

271
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 2: You gotta wonder. But yeah, it's a Also it makes

272
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 2: me think that Oscar Meyer needs to up the annie.

273
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 2: What they need to do. The tracker made me think this,

274
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 2: they need a Bunmobile and they need to have the

275
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 2: Bunmobile try to stay ten miles ahead of the Wienermobile

276
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 2: at all times. So when you see the bunmobile bout

277
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 2: you know, the Wienermobile's coming, as if it's chasing it

278
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 2: all around our great land.

279
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 3: So then that would mean that the wienermobile is not

280
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 3: in a bun because they're okay, they need two new

281
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 3: get just an exposed Wiener and a closed up bun.

282
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's chasing its bun. It's like the shell

283
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 2: Silverstein a missing piece. It's just the bun is on

284
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 2: the run and the Wiener's coming. That would be that is.

285
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 3: The weirdest children's story. Have you read that recently? The

286
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 3: Missing Piece?

287
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 2: I have?

288
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I read it recently, and I was like, is

289
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 3: this about being single and like not and just like

290
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 3: preferring to be single and alone?

291
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 2: I think I know what you mean because and it's yes,

292
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 2: I think well, and also we now know, especially because

293
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 2: you did the Sharing Bush, that shel Silverstein was a

294
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 2: he was living at that playboy mansion, and that dude

295
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 2: was making a lot of a more he was sleeping

296
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 2: a lot.

297
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think that and then to make a

298
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: children's book about how he loves to just bow different ladies.

299
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, just pieces that are too big and too

300
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 2: small that don't fit right. Just going in and coming

301
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 2: out and keep on rolling. If it's anything.

302
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: Rolling, just be empty inside and keep on rolling.

303
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, we think it's like a beautiful thing about you know.

304
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 2: Maybe it's a coming out story. Maybe it's about finding

305
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 2: there's something unique about you that you're embarrassed of. We

306
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 2: think with some perspective that chlse olversea was just keep

307
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 2: fitting it in and then keep rolling.

308
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: Also, speaking of the Sharing Bush, Scottie my book. As

309
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: you know, I have a book. It's called The Sharing Bush.

310
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 3: It is a parody of the Giving Tree, and I

311
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 3: will be selling it at my stand up shows. Oh yeah,

312
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 3: you got to Denver, Colorado September fifth and sixth.

313
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: We have not sold any of those out.

Speaker 3: So we know people in Denver. Yeah, let's reach out

351
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 3: to them. Do you remember the name?

352
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 2: I think I can the name of the business. Yeah,

353
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 2: I can pull it up. I'll be able to remember

354
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: because it was such a lifesaver. It was like absolutely

355
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 2: and just I went for two because I was so

356

Speaker 2: And they were like, yeah, no problem, dude, you need

358
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 2: this bad. I think it was called the hydrate iv bar. Yeah.

359
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 3: I might just do it every day because it does

360
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 3: remain hydrated.

361
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: Is to help with the altitude stuff.

362
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 3: And my I think it's my heart medication, but it's

363
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 3: like that altitude hits me hard.

364
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 2: Hydrate ivy bar. I would bet it was hydrate iv

365
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 2: bar and it was so relaxing.

366
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:22,680

Speaker 2: sixty was closed in the area as officers investigated. The

402
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 2: OPP warns motorists that an increasing number of moose have

403
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 2: been coming out of the forest and onto the roads,

404
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 2: particularly in that area of Algonquin Park, in an effort

405
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 2: to escape swarms of insects. Oh, the moose are fleeing

406
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 2: mosquitoes and flies. Oh God, God, so thick of that hell? Escape.

407
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 2: Oh please observe posted speed limits, the OPP says, to

408
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 2: ensure you have adequate reaction time and keep your eyes

409
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 2: on the road and the ditches ahead. So two cars,

410
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 2: two moose, and a lot of blackflies and massquite toes.

411
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 3: I was looking up to see if the wienermobile had

412
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 3: hit a moose before. Wienermobile has never hit a moose

413
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 3: that it has frequently asked questions.

414
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: Okay, first question, and this is like it goes to.

415
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 3: An area of thought that I hadn't gone to before.

416
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 3: Does the Wiener Mobile have a bed?

417
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 2: It's a great question.

418
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 3: It's a great question because then you imagine that the

419
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 3: interior of the Wiener Mobile is all living space.

420
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 2: Well, see that should be it should be just padded

421
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 2: with satin. Yeah, like nice soft in every direction, sees

422
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 2: crawl in the back. It can all be hot dog colored.

423
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 3: Did I ever bring you to Rubellode back in the

424
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 3: day in Brooklyn? No, this was probably two thousand, nineteen

425
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 3: ninety nine, two thousand Brooklyn Williamsburg, where like there was

426
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 3: nothing there and I was on Grand Street and it

427
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 3: was Rubelod was a like an art collective. Are people

428
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 3: who lived in this warehouse. But then they would throw

429
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 3: these like like amazing parties and Rubelod was their phone number.

430
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,479
Speaker 1: So that's literally how old it was.

431
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 2: It was.

432
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: You would call the phone number to find out when

433
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: the party was the best.

434
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 3: And they had a tree like that had been built

435
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 3: inside this space with two entrances.

436
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: No, no, it wasn't to his one tube.

437
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 3: So this gigantic tree and then you crawl into like

438
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 3: a tube that's big enough just for like a human

439
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 3: body to crawl in, and then it's like you're crawling

440
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 3: through the roots. And then you would come into and

441
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 3: it would split off into two rooms, but rooms meaning

442
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 3: like there was like three and a half feet tall,

443
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 3: and then one room was just all fur lining the

444
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 3: whole walls with just big furry pillows that you could

445
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 3: just lay in. And then there was like one little

446
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 3: like viewport that you could like look out at the party,

447
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 3: and the other room was just padded So it was

448
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 3: like the love Maker Room and the going Crazy Room

449
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 3: for like an interesting and it was a delight.

450
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: That is how I imagine the inside of the Wienermobile

451
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 1: to be.

452
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it should be like that. Also, I'm

453
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 2: so bummed I never went to that place with you.

454
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: That sounds incredible, I know, and still in a drug

455
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: doing days and a delight, I'll tell you. But the

456
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: Wienermobile does not have a bed.

457
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 3: It has six seats and a fifty two inch flat

458
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 3: screen TV, which seems too large a screen to have

459
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 3: in a car.

460
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I would say that's a huge TV. That's

461
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 2: so fun. It does make you happy though, so good

462
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 2: for the people Oscar Mayer. Yeah, for bringing joy to

463
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 2: people on the highways and byways of America. Have you

464
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 2: seen a moose before, like in person camping?

465
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: No, but I have eaten moose before. I have.

466
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 3: I was in Alaska doing shows and shout out to

467
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 3: I was in Fairbanks, Alaska. Shout out to the best

468
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,479
Speaker 3: little dive bar that I've ever been to, Bowtel. It

469
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 3: used to be a boat that had like rooms you

470
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 3: could stay in, and it was a bar, and then

471
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 3: the boat burned down, but they just keep calling it

472
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 3: botel and now it's no longer a boat, nor a hotel,

473
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 3: nor on the water, which is so great. And the

474
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 3: owner of Bowtel a very nice woman who she was like,

475
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 3: I have moose.

476
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: And I was because I was like, what else is there?

477
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 3: Like, well should I eat in at Alaska that I

478
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 3: couldn't get anywhere else. She's like, we have some moose

479
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 3: that would like was hunted? Do you want to try moose?

480
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 3: And she's like it's.

481
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: Not very good.

482
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 3: It's very very oily and it's very gamy, and I

483
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 3: was like, oh, sales pitch. And so she made she

484
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 3: made a lasagna and brought it to the bar and

485
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 3: then had moose lasagna.

486
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: And it was great. It was great. I could tell

487
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 1: that it was oily and gaming, but in Lasagna kind

488
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: of worked.

489
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 2: Hilarious. I can't believe you've never told this story before.

490
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 2: That's a great story.

491
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 3: Oh it was great. And they have these things called

492
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 3: I think they call them crackers. I'm not sure, but

493
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 3: they're a version of lotto where you just sit at

494
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 3: the bar and you give like twenty bucks or five

495
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 3: bucks whatever, and they give you like fifty of these

496
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 3: little books that are made of like paper and then

497
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 3: you just like crack them open and then they either

498
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 3: have a prize in them or they don't.

499
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, those are called pull tabs a lot of places.

500
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, crackers.

501
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 2: I play them all the time in Minneapolis whenever a

502
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 2: bar has them. There's one that's called bananas. Like there's

503
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 2: one game and I all my including Tony Tompkins, is

504
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 2: my good friend Melcarty whenever we play, whenever I go

505
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 2: there and we get drinking. When we get to drinking,

506
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 2: we just buy pull tabs all night. But they all

507
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 2: know the strategy. People that are locals know it's like

508
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 2: because they have to cross off the dollar amounts that

509
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 2: have won. So if a fifty dollars one hit for bananas.

510
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 2: They cross that off, and so you can look and

511
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 2: you'll be like, all right, there's eighty poll tabs left

512
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 2: and there's one thousand dollars winner in there, so let's

513
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 2: buy all eighty and like you can actually wait til

514
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 2: the end of the night, sort of increase your odds.

515
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 2: I think about Alaskans. I dated a woman from Alaska,

516
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 2: very not briefly, maybe two months, and then more recently

517
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 2: at our Portland show, we had a banannimal come down

518
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 2: from Alaska, Andy Steele, and she's so nice, got longest banana,

519
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,479
Speaker 2: I'm sure. And I find myself with Alaskan specifically more

520
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 2: than any other place in the world. I just want

521
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 2: to ask questions about like life and stuff up there.

522
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 2: And it's weird because it's a part of America. You

523
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 2: can fly there without a passport. But I just find

524
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 2: myself being like I asked Andy, I said, are there

525
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 2: beaches in Alaska? Do people go to the beach?

526
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: Yeah?

527
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 2: And there are, and people do, of course they do,

528
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 2: but it's like a five Yeah. When I dated this

529
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,959
Speaker 2: really nice woman in comedy, she was born and raised

530
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 2: there with three sisters, and her dad was the largest

531
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 2: private landowner in all of Alaska, And all I wanted

532
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 2: to do is be like, do you have gold on

533
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 2: your land? And she'd be like yeah, tons, And I'd

534
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 2: be like, do you have like dinosaur bones? She goes, yeah,

535
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 2: there's an actual place where they dig up wooly mammoth

536
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 2: Like She's like, we have four or five wooly mammoth

537
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 2: tusks at my dad's house. And I'm like, well, I'm

538
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 2: just going to keep asking questions. But she did say

539
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 2: once that it's a state one of those weird state laws.

540
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 2: You're not allowed to drop moose meat out of an airplane.

541
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 2: That's like illegal in Alaska. Okay, But yeah, I find

542
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 2: myself just wanting to like, I guess it's just so

543
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 2: foreign and different than what than every other state. It

544
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 2: seems so far away, and I just always want to

545
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 2: be like, even with the stuff where it's like, well,

546
00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 2: how do you sleep when it's twenty four hours of

547
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 2: day or whatever, it's like black with iemasks and blackout

548
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 2: curtains and with noise canceling headphones, and You're like, it's

549
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 2: just so different. It feels like a science fiction movie, and.

550
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: It really does.

551
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 2: Right there.

552
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 3: I would love to go back. I would love to

553
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 3: do bananas there. I reached out to it.

554
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: I really hooked me in Fairbanks and I.

555
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 3: Was like, trust me these this will sell out, like

556
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 3: we can do it, and he seemed very not not excited.

557
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 2: I know Billy Wayne Davis was trying to help us

558
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 2: book one up there too, but I think our windows closed.

559
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 2: I think, but I'm not going up there in the winter.

560
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 2: It was like, let's do it next August or July.

561
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 2: I don't want to go up there when it's five degrees.

562
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: You don't want to go up there when it's like

563
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: just night the whole time.

564
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 2: I would be right, that does sound interesting.

565
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're just like up at eight am and it's

566
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 3: pitch black, Like that's crazy.

567
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 2: Okay, you sold me. I do need to experience that once.

568
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 2: I do need to do We need to do a

569
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 2: banana show at one pm that feels like bananas after dark.

570
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 2: We'll just call bananas after dark.

571
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly, and yeah, so oh man, that's what okay,

572
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 3: so oh speaking of you're saying mammoth bones.

573
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I reasoned.

574
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 3: My brother was in town and we and him and

575
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 3: the family we went to the Labra of Tar pits.

576
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: Have you ever been there?

577
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 2: Yeah? Many times?

578
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: Oh many times. Why are you always going to Lebret tarpits?

579
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 2: Bro I worked across the street on a game show

580
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 2: called The Misery Index, and our lunch walk is it's free,

581
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 2: and so we would do a lap after lunch and

582
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 2: walk through the tar pits. So maybe I've been inhale

583
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 2: the asphalt smell. It smells like tar. It smells like tar.

584
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 2: Every direction, bubbles through the streets and the sidewalks around it.

585
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 2: It's like sitting on tar. It's a it's a it's

586
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 2: a problem.

587
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 3: What's interesting is so we watched them, like the little

588
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 3: film you can watch inside.

589
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: The museum, and what.

590
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 3: I never realized the inherent comedy in a tar pit

591
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 3: it because it's it's actually very very funny. It's a

592
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 3: lot it's sad and upsetting, but also very funny. The

593
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 3: fact that there's like in one tar pit they found

594
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 3: and they have them all on one wall, one hundred

595
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 3: and twenty five.

596
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: Dire wolves skeletons. So they had just had one hundred

597
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: and twenty five dire wolf heads like skulls displayed. And

598
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: the reason is, and they showed this in the video.

599
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 3: It's like a mammoth would get stuck in it and

600
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 3: then he would die, yes, but his body.

601
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: Wouldn't be like consumed by the tar. It would just

602
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: be sitting out there, yep.

603
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 3: And then like a saber toothed cat would smell him,

604
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 3: and then he'd come over and try and take a

605
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 3: couple bites, and then he'd get stuck, and then he's struggling.

606
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 3: And then a dire wolf would smell the struggling cat

607
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 3: and then come to take a bite out of that cat,

608
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 3: and then he get stuck.

609
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: So it was just piles and piles and piles tried

610
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: to eat each other and then dying next to each other.

611
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's why the three animals you just named

612
00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 2: no longer exist. It's like they devolved. That tarpits are

613
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 2: speed up evolution in a real way. That's also the

614
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 2: most grueling work for humans. When they show you, it's

615
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 2: like a bucket at a time because tar is melt,

616
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 2: it's melted rubber basically, that's why they're also preserved. And

617
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 2: these people just dig through this crap, oh my god.

618
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 3: And they can't use any chemicals, harsh chemicals, so it's

619
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 3: literally just water and a toothbrush just trying to scrub

620
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 3: tar off of a ten thousand year old bone fragment.

621
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 2: It's cool. It's a cool thing if you come to

622
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 2: La and you don't know what the hell to do.

623
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 2: Once you've seen the observatory in the Hollywood Sign and

624
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 2: Santa Monica Pier, the tar pits are kind of fascinating. Yeah,

625
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 2: you can walk right in. You don't have to pay.

626
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 2: There is a center where you can pay much of

627
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 2: film and see some other stuff. But it's also just

628
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 2: open and there is tar coming through the ground. They

629
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 2: put cones near it so you don't step in it,

630
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 2: but it just bubbles up and you go bubbles up

631
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 2: and then you're like, cool, the it's so smart. We

632
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,840

Speaker 2: woman he had a crush on since university. It is

677
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,439
Speaker 2: the funniest episode of television I've ever seen, hands down,

678
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 2: hands down. It's he's making pasta, he dumps beans and

679
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 2: he says, just say it's Moroccan because anything goes in Morocco.

680
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,359

681
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 2: Season nine, episode three of Peep Show. You don't even

682
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 2: need to watch the rest of the series if you

00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 2: just have half an hour, find that one on YouTube.

684
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 3: Also, Olivia Coleman, Yes, Oscar winning. Olivia Coleman got her

685
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,600

686
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 3: Coleman being so very, very funny.

687
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

688
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 3: I think it's an like season three or four. They've

689
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 3: broken up Mark and Olivia Coleman and for some reason,

690
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 3: his roommate is invited over. Jazz has invited over some

691
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 3: Australians to hang out, Australian women. And while she's dropping

692
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 3: off some stuff and she thinks they're going to have

693
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 3: a little chat, one of the Australians sticks their head

694
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 3: in and just goes, hey, Mock, you want to come

695
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 3: lick Cindy's asshole?

696
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: And she goes, well, I see that you're busy. I

697
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: think I'll leave, and he's like, no, No, they're Australian.

698
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: They think that's fine.

699
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 3: Which is the truest statement about Australians that I think

700
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 3: I've ever heard of.

701
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 2: My love. It's so good that show is. I'm going

702
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 2: to go back in like five years to just watch

703
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 2: it start to finish these great things where it was

704
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 2: on for like a decade. BRIT's do TV so different

705
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,720
Speaker 2: than Americans. It was like on for probably ten years,

706
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 2: maybe longer, I don't know. Any season, eight nine, ten seasons,

707
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,439
Speaker 2: but each season's like six episodes, so you're like, how

708
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 2: easy would it be to make six half hours?

709
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's why they're so good.

710
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 2: That's right, That's why they're jam packed with goodness, and

711
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 2: American TV just Wilt's on the vine sometimes. Two more.

712
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,840

737
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 3: This one was sent in by Breaking Wind Podcasts geezke

738
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 3: Breaking the Best, My friend. So there is a this

739
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 3: is an article on the BBC. A lot of attention

740
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 3: is coming on to Operation Flagship, as it was called

741
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 3: because of the fact that there's an m Night Shyamalan

742
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:30,879
Speaker 3: movie that is based on it, but a completely different concept. Okay,

743
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 3: so it was like inspired by I guess you could say,

744
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 3: not based on. So this is this is how Operation

745
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 3: Flagship happened. It was nineteen eight. The nineteen eighty seven

746
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 3: stings saw more than one hundred criminals arrested after they

747
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 3: were lured to a fake TV station thinking they had

748
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:53,879
Speaker 3: won free NFL tickets. Around those three thousand fugitives were

749
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 3: offered complimentary tickets to watch a Washington Redskins game, and

750
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 3: we're told they'd all had to comest in and all

751
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 3: expenses paid trip to the Super Bowl. But when nearly

752
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty of them turned up at the

753
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 3: headquarters of a fictional TV company to claim their prize,

754
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 3: they were arrested. It is an extraordinary story which provided

755
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 3: the film Stimulus sting took place on the fifteenth of

756
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 3: December nineteen eighty five. The fugitives have been targeted by

757
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 3: US Marshall Service, who told they'd been randomly selected. The

758
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 3: game was due to start at one pm, but the

759
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 3: apparent competition winners were invited to show up in the

760
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 3: morning to receive their tickets. They would be transported by

761
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 3: bus to and from the game that afternoon, or so.

762
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: They were told.

763
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 3: We send out invitations to a little under three thousand

764
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 3: fugitives to a bunch at the Washington Convention Center. Roach

765
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 3: was the Chief Deputy of US Marshals at the time,

766
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 3: but the purpose of Operation Flagship, he was posing as

767
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 3: an event usher, so it's all filled. It's all filled

768
00:39:55,560 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 3: with plants, and they were all undercover agents. My role

769
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 3: was to make sure that the fugitives who turned up

770
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 3: were in fact fugitives, he said, explaining that the agents

771
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 3: had code words for the level of criminals.

772
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,720
Speaker 1: A quote confirmed winner was someone who was wanted.

773
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 3: A double winner was a dangerous person, someone who had

774
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 3: had aggravated assault, murder or robbery. His colleagues Bob Lesshore

775
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,280
Speaker 3: and the Chief Deputy of Enforcement at the US Marshals

776
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:25,240
Speaker 3: was posing as the CEO of the fictional US cable

777
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 3: TV network flagship International Sports television. Boy, we had one

778
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 3: hundred and nineteen extremely lucky individuals who, by chance, were

779
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 3: all wanted on criminal warrants.

780
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 1: You we're recalled with a smile. They won a trip

781
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: to the DC jail.

782
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 3: The agents used reverse psychology to help coax as many

783
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 3: criminals to the event as possible.

784
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 1: They just this keeps repeating itself.

785
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a great idea. It's also how crazy is

786
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 2: it that there's just three thousand felons or fugitives. It's

787
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 2: just like that that number is so high.

788
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 3: Marshals were dressed in tuxedos and told to smile politely

789
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 3: at the criminals. They were They usually chase. Several of

790
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 3: the female officers were even enlisted to be cheerleaders.

791
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 1: It's nice.

792
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 2: Okay, that seems insane. Yeah, that seems okay. They just

793
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 2: blew it the greatest place ever, just biffed it. They're like, hey,

794
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 2: Beverly put this on, grabbed them pom poms. Yeah, that sucks.

795
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 3: Once they arrived at firm, their identity's fugitive. We're taking

796
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 3: in groups of about fifteen to a hall with the

797
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 3: stage like they made the whole thing like, look real, idea,

798
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 3: we got a big surprise for you, said the speaker.

799
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 3: Everybody's under arrest. The criminals were surrounded and escorted out

800
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 3: in handcuffed. In totals, one hundred and one arrest were made.

801
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 3: That means eighteen got out. Eighteen made it out somehow.

802
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 3: They're good excited about Yeah, it was party time us marshall.

803
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 3: They fell for a hook line and sinker.

804
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 1: Boh blah blah blah blah blah. Mama, oh man. A

805
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 1: lot of them asked, do we still get to go

806
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 1: to the game. That's a bummer.

807
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 2: That is a bummer, But also do the crime, do

808
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 2: the time. That's a great that's like such a good

809
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 2: like this, I guess it's like a sting, Like that's

810
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:18,320
Speaker 2: an incredible operation to be like, it's just amazing that

811
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 2: you can play into people's wants and vanity and be

812
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 2: like you're special, you want to think show up and

813
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,839
Speaker 2: they'll be like, okay, great, thank you so much. Damn,

814
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 2: that's a good one. First of all, when the Washington

815
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 2: Redskins insane, it was called that for so long, I mean.

816
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 1: Just insane, and then they blew it.

817
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 2: Now they're called the Commanders, which is stupid. I'm sure

818
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 2: they just went for the safest thing. They should have

819
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 2: become the Washington Weasels. One people already think politicians are weasels. Two.

820
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 2: Weasels are ferocious and they're and there can't they can

821
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 2: do things. They're crafty, they're they're very intelligent. The Washington

822
00:42:56,480 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 2: Weasels would have sold so much merchandise. Yeah, believable.

823
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: The Washington honey Badgers would have as well.

824
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 2: Very fun, very fun, not offensive at all. But to

825
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 2: the most commanders, you're like, I.

826
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,320
Speaker 1: Know, it's the worst. It's a very corporate choice.

827
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 2: Weasels. They should have been the Washington weasels and the helmets.

828
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 2: Oh my god, maybe they have a little tail off

829
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 2: the back. It'd be so good. So when I work

830
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 2: my first job in Los Angeles when I moved here,

831
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 2: was on a E show called Love You Mean It.

832
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 2: It only made eleven episodes, but it was a very

833
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 2: good show. That is where I met Karen Kilgaroff because

834
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 2: she was the head writer and I was the first

835
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 2: writer producer hired and that's where we became buddies. And

836
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 2: we were on I believe, the fourth floor on the

837
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:48,280
Speaker 2: Universal Studios lot, and on the third floor was Chelsea Lately.

838
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 2: And that show was a mega hit. When I moved

839
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 2: out here. You were on Chelsea Lately a lot. How

840
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 2: many times were you on Chelsea Late?

841
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: Twenty five or so?

842
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, she loved your ass. You could tell when she

843
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 2: did like people. And Chelsea Handler loved you. You could

844
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 2: tell she would light up at your jokes. It was great.

845
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 2: So Chelsea was also an executive producer on our show,

846
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 2: Whitney Cummings was the host, and the writer's rooms for

847
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,240
Speaker 2: both shows were friendly with each other. We weren't competitive.

848
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 2: We were all nice people. And one day one of

849
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 2: the writers, I believe it was April had her bike

850
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 2: stolen off the Universal lot, which is crazy because there's

851
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 2: tons of security coming in and out of the lot,

852
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 2: and it's hard to get on that lot. You have

853
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 2: to get like your car check twice, you have to

854
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 2: show your ID. It's not easy. So they went looked

855
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 2: at surveillance cameras and they saw a guy and he

856
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 2: walked right up and stole her bike. It wasn't locked

857
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,439
Speaker 2: because you shouldn't need locks on the lot.

858
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 1: It's a private lot.

859
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 2: And he rode away and then somebody was like, that

860
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 2: guy was an extra on like the MINDI Project that day.

861
00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 2: So they had the second ad go, hey, I'm just

862
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 2: gonna make up a name. Hey Jim, you are so

863
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 2: good as an extra today. Will you come back in tomorrow.

864
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 2: We'd like to put you in another scene, bring the

865
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 2: same wardrobe. And the guy goes sure, and he shows

866
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 2: up and they arrest him because they yea. He shows

867
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 2: up the next day and they arrested that guy in

868
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:20,240
Speaker 2: April got her bike back. Oh my god, that's so perfect,

869
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 2: And we were following it was like the lowest level

870
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 2: of comedy writer's room true crime, like ooh, and then

871
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:27,359
Speaker 2: they were like, will he show up. Will he will?

872
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,800
Speaker 2: Is he dumb enough to show up? And yeah, because

873
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 2: they played into his actor vanity and we're like, you

874
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 2: were great in the background. He came the next day

875
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 2: and they got him.

876
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:39,879
Speaker 1: Oh, I think so much.

877
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 2: It was so good. I just was like, great plan,

878
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 2: great execution, like security standing by, cops standing by. Also,

879
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 2: you'll remember this guy too. Not only is security to

880
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 2: get on a lot pretty difficult because they just don't

881
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 2: want people wandering and their celebrities. There's there's a lot

882
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 2: of reasons. The guy that is the I guess you

883
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 2: would call him like the traffic I mean, there's a

884
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 2: gentleman who works security. He works the front gate. He

885
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 2: wears white gloves, he has a whistle, and he's kind

886
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 2: of like controls traffic. Like I don't really know what

887
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 2: he would be called, but I'll just call him the

888
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 2: best security guard in the world. The way he would

889
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 2: direct traffic with these gloves hands and these old tweets

890
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 2: from his whistle, and he would wave and clap and say, hey,

891
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 2: everybody knew everybody's name. That guy deserves the largest raised

892
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:35,280
Speaker 2: in North America for taking a job that could be mundane,

893
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 2: yeah and terrible. And he would like wave you in.

894
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 2: He'd like give you two toots, wave at you, direct you.

895
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 2: His legs are moving, he's dancing. Aaron Paul would be

896
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 2: driving by, but like good morning, Aaron. Park right over

897
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 2: there and they'd be like hello, sir, right over here, sir,

898
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 2: like the car and like you're like this guy. Reward

899
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:52,239
Speaker 2: this man for doing the war. Do you remember who

900
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 2: I'm talking about? Yep.

901
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

902
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 2: He was just the best at a job that could suck.

903
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 2: It was amazing.

904
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that guy. I love that. I give

905
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 1: us one more, Scottie.

906
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 2: Ooh how much time we got? Oh we got some time.

907
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 2: I'll do this.

908
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:05,839
Speaker 1: Yeah.

909
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 2: Tearin Elise sent this in. Thank you, tarn Elise. Another

910
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 2: great name written by Salvador Hernandez for Seattle Time. Salvador

911
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 2: goes above and beyond, just like that weird traffic guard guy.

912
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 2: Salvador Hernandez makes it all so easy for all of us.

913
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 2: No charges for second grade teacher arrestedly after teaching drunk.

914
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 1: No charges, right charges.

915
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:43,319
Speaker 2: This has a very air bud outcome. Okay, this has

916
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 2: a very well there's no rules. You said he couldn't

917
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 2: play in a football game. It's like that gets like

918
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 2: it doesn't say no. So a fifty seven year old

919
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 2: second grade teacher arrested after allegedly teaching classes drunk will

920
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 2: not be charge. Prosecutors in California announced. Wendy Munson, fifty seven,

921
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 2: was arrested after Sutter County Sheriff's deputies received reports of

922
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 2: a staff member who appeared to be intoxicated at Nuestro

923
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 2: Elementary School in Live Oak, which is just north of

924
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:22,760
Speaker 2: Sacramenteau the capital. It's an educational podcast. Despite the arrest,

925
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 2: prosecutor said Monday, there wasn't enough evidence to show the

926
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 2: crime had been committed. While the District Attorney's office agrees

927
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 2: that it is highly inappropriate to teach while intoxicated, it

928
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:38,799
Speaker 2: is unfortunately not illegal. That's why I picked this one.

929
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:39,880
Speaker 2: It's not illegal.

930
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: That's so.

931
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 2: I mean.

932
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 3: Also, there's some level of admitting second graders are tough. Man.

933
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 2: You try to get through this without a couple jolts

934
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 2: in the old coffee mug, yeah, man. Deputies arrived to

935
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 2: find Muns in in the middle of a class, allegedly

936
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,840
Speaker 2: showing signs she was intoxicated, and a news release issued

937
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 2: at the time of the rest, deputy said a video

938
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 2: showed Monson drove to school and failed a sobriety test afterward.

939
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 2: But when she was taken into custody on suspicion of

940
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 2: driving under the influence and chied and child endangerment, which

941
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,359
Speaker 2: is not funny. We don't like either one of those things.

942
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:23,360
Speaker 2: They said that they couldn't prove that she was drunk

943
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 2: when she drove to work or if she began to

944
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 2: drink at them elementary school. Wow, so wow, But that's right.

945
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess unless she jumped a curb or something.

946
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 2: It's like, so, no charges will be filed against Munson.

947
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 2: After a lengthy investigation could not meet the legal requirements

948
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:46,320
Speaker 2: of the charges. Prosecutors were also unable to meet the

949
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 2: legal requirements for the child endangerment charge because quote, there

950
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 2: was no specific information indicating that the children in Munson's

951
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,400
Speaker 2: class were placed in a position where their persons or

952
00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 2: health were endangered. The mere patent potential that a situation

953
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:05,359
Speaker 2: could arise is insufficient to meet requirements under the law.

954
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 3: All the segredgraders were like, well, we were in danger. No,

955
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 3: she was in a great mood. She had a real

956
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 3: flow going. Actually during class, we were really enjoyed teacher.

957
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:20,960
Speaker 2: Ever, I had this principal I used to love my

958
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 2: elementary school principal. Mister Reef was his name. I think

959
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 2: I've mentioned him in the past. But he would, you know,

960
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 2: sometimes substitute when like no substitutes were available and no

961
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:32,800
Speaker 2: teacher and a teacher had to got sick or the

962
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 2: kid got sick, or they had to leave school, he

963
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 2: would come in. He was the best. He was very chill.

964
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 2: And so say we had a spelling test that day,

965
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:45,320
Speaker 2: and he came to an English class. He would say, okay, guys,

966
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:49,799
Speaker 2: number your papers one to ten, and then I'm going

967
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 2: to read say the word aloud. And if you know it,

968
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:57,799
Speaker 2: put a check mark next to the number, and if

969
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 2: you don't know it, put a minus mark next to

970
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 2: the number. So he would go number one clouds and

971
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:09,280
Speaker 2: you would go, I think I know how to spell clouds,

972
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:11,800
Speaker 2: and you put a check and he would just you

973
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 2: never had to write it down. He would just like

974
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 2: test your honesty or your ethics. He did it. I

975
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 2: only had it happened maybe three times to my classes.

976
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:23,759
Speaker 2: But he would come into your He would come into

977
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:26,440
Speaker 2: your arithmetic class or your math class, and you'd be like,

978
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 2: if you know the answer, just put a check mark

979
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 2: then if you don't, and he go seventeen minus nine,

980
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 2: and you go, I think I know what that is.

981
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,320
Speaker 2: And so I'm so sweet and honest and innocent in

982
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 2: my little Catholic school that sometimes I would put minus

983
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:45,399
Speaker 2: mark case I'd be like, you know what, I don't

984
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:49,319
Speaker 2: know how to spell xylophone. That's a tough thing, isn't

985
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 2: that the funniest? Like obviously you didn't want to grade papers,

986
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 2: and he didn't want to put the grading of papers

987
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 2: on a teacher, but it was just such a sweet

988
00:51:57,239 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 2: thing to be, like, I believe in you, guys, so

989
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:04,879
Speaker 2: just be honest. He did it. It was so good.

990
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 2: He was the best dude. And when he left, they

991
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 2: made the whole school memorize the words to Let It Be,

992
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 2: the Beatles song, because that was his favorite song, and

993
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 2: so the entire K through eight sung it and he

994
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 2: was just bawling tears.

995
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 1: Of course he was, of course, he was, Oh my god.

996
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:28,360
Speaker 2: Four hundred little pre pubescent kids singing soprano Let It Be?

997
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:32,280
Speaker 1: That was, Oh man, is that sweet banana?

998
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,120
Speaker 2: The week? Mister Reef. I hope you're out there. I

00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:47,399
Speaker 2: say zeros, fives or tens when he was giving time

1003
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 2: to complete something. He would say, get together in a group,

1004
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:54,919
Speaker 2: take six minutes and discuss this book. Get together the book,
