00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 3: I'm docksing myself. But there is a hill, There's a

18
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 3: very very famous hill, and where I take walks, there

19
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 3: is a hill that's got about a twenty two twenty

20
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 3: four percent grade, which for those who can't picture that,

21
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 3: it's the fifth steepest street in North America. Oh wow,

22
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 3: you found out that, Yes, I because somebody told me

23
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 3: it was the steepest. There was this guy named Nuge

24
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 3: that skateboarded down it and became Vanuge. Yeah, Nuge, nudgen

25
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 3: Win real name Win, but you know we people called

26
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 3: him Nudge, famous skateboarder, and I googled it, and but

27
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 3: it's steeper than Lombard Street in San Francisco. It's steper

28
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 3: It's yeah, it's the fifth steepest street. Anyways. I would

29
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 3: say in the nine years that I've lived in this neighborhood,

30
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 3: I have seen somewhere between fifty and sixty trucks moving trucks, sparklets,

31
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 3: water delivery trucks, bread trucks, construction vehicles get stuck the

32
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 3: tail end. It's so steep that when the front tires

33
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 3: go up, the back bottom's out, the back tires lift

34
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 3: off the ground. They have to empty the trucks and

35
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 3: these tow trucks come up there. The asphalt has these

36
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 3: giant claw marks from the backs of these trucks and

37
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 3: lifting docks. Just I mean, it happens all the time.

38
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 3: I'm gonna start posting photos on our stories of stuck trucks.

39
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 3: I made a sign for the sign there that warns

40
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 3: trucks that they clearly ignore. And I'm gonna name that

41
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 3: hill stuck Truck Hill. And I'm hanging a sign and

42
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 3: it looks like a National Park sign. I made it

43
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 3: so realistic. He showed it to me. I love it.

44
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna do that today. As soon as we're done,

45
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 3: I'm gonna walk over there. I'm gonna screw it in there,

46
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 3: hopefully not get arrested. And I encourage anybody that lives

47
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 3: in East LA if you're ever wandering around near Dodger

48
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 3: Stadium e Ecco Parks, keep an eye out for either

49
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,320

00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 2: Scottie, I mean, like, if you want, I can come,

Speaker 3: Illegal to do that. It's not telling anybody which direction

55
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 3: to go.

56
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 2: No.

57
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is just a little sign. Somebody can take

58

Speaker 3: it if they want. Well, well, well that sounds like

59
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:18,160

60
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 3: Oh hell yeah.

61
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 2: In case you're new to a minisoda, when you have

62
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: your confession, you send in your confessions. You send in

63
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 2: your your stories, your bananas, stories of personal growth and hijinks.

64
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 3: And we tell our own or just chat about them.

65
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 3: M that's right, and they're anonymous, so send away. Tell

66
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 3: us anything. If it's death, if it's a murder, we're

67
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 3: calling the cops. We say that every time we really

68
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 3: meet it. For a while, when I was six, this

69
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 3: is a great one. This might be my favorite confession

70
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: we've done on a recorded one, not a live show. Wow.

71
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 3: For a while, when I was six, I would sneak

72
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 3: into my older siblings rooms when they were asleep, remove

73
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 3: my pants, slide into their beds, and pee before putting

74
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 3: my pants back on, sneaking out. It's mission impossible. It

75
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 3: was so good for any of this, go ahead, Yes,

76
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 3: it's so good. For a while, when I was six,

77
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 3: i'd sneak into my older siblings rooms while they were

78
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 3: sleeping and move my pants, slide into their beds, he

79
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 3: in their beds before putting my pants back on, and

80
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 3: sneaking out to make them think that they had peed

81
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 3: their own beds. Six years old. I believe my motive

82
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 3: was to correct a power imbalance. Uh huh. Anyhow, I

83
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 3: quit when I was ahead never got caught and have

84
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 3: never spoken to either sibling about it. No way, that

85
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 3: is a great bananas mini, So confession, you're absolved. You're

86

Speaker 3: totally absolved. I love fantastic.

87
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 2: I love that there's been enough thought into it that

88
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: it was to counter a balance of power, imbalance.

89
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 3: I love it. Yes, it was attention. We needed that

90
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 3: little more of that. Yes it was. I guess it

91
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 3: wasn't attention because they never got caught.

92
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: Right, it was more like, oh you think you to well,

93
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 2: it looks like you piss your pants, pal, I.

94
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 3: Mean, it's so sneaky, and six year olds are so small.

95
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 3: It's such like a petite evil crime. Wow, oh my god,

96
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 3: that's so very very Did you ever piss a bed?

97
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 3: Were you ever a bedweather?

98
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: No?

99
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 3: I mean I'm sure I did, in the same way

100
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 3: that little kids do up until certain age, But no,

101
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 3: I was. I was a sleeper that my parents would,

102
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 3: you know, have friends over little dinner parties or whatever,

103
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 3: and somebody at some point would realize I was missing,

104
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 3: and they would start searching, and I would have gone

105
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 3: into my room and turned off the lights and put

106
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 3: myself in bed and tucked myself and it went to sleep.

107
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 2: Wow, no way, that's amazing. You're just like I'm done.

108
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm still that way.

109
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 2: I remember my mom didn't often have people over the

110
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: house because it was just me and my mom, but

111
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 2: she had a half brother who they were like uh.

112
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 2: I don't want to say they were swingers, but they

113
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 2: were from a child perspective, they were definitely like.

114
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 3: Single and living large.

115
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 2: This smoked and drank and gambled a lot, you know, yes,

116
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 2: and uh. And every once in a while, one of them,

117
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 2: they were twins, twin brothers, one of them would come over.

118
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 2: I remember one came over and brought his.

119
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 3: Date okay and spicy stuff.

120
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: And she was just like a model, like yes, gorgeous,

121
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 2: gorgeous woman, and I was me. I think I was

122
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: probably five four or five, but I have a clear

123
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: memory of this of going in and uh and just

124
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: continually like sneaking out of bed to give her things.

125
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 3: And it was like just very clear that like I

126
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 3: had a crush on this.

127
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 2: Fully adult who was like twenty seven years old or whatever.

128
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 2: But I would just like write like like make her

129
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 2: like a like a paper airplane and like sneak out

130
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 2: of bed and like throw it at her and I

131
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 2: was like, that's so crazy now to think it. Like

132
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 2: back then, I was just like, oh this is I

133
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 2: had feelings that I didn't understand and I did it.

134
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: I was like, but to think that that was what

135
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 2: was actually happening that I essentially was like, this is

136
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 2: a beautiful woman and I'm gonna try and get her

137
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 2: attention somehow.

138
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 3: It's interesting too, Like you know, we're we're big obvious,

139
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 3: obvious supporters and fully believe that there's a huge spectrum

140
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 3: of love and attraction. You can be many things. You

141
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 3: can be all the way, one way, all the way

142
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 3: or that all that middle ground. But it is funny

143
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 3: when you have those childhood things where something about that

144
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 3: woman is like I am attracted to this, like even

145
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 3: when you don't know what it is, but exactly. I

146
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 3: bet I bet if you pass somebody and she today

147
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 3: that was wearing the same perfume, it would take you back,

148
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 3: like even if you can't picture it now, I bet

149
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 3: it go right back to that and you wouldn't understand.

150
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 3: It would just be a confusing like whoa, ah, my god.

151
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 2: Have you ever had had the experience of having a

152
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 2: dream and being in love with someone in the dream

153
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 2: and you but you've never met them at all, Like

154
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 2: you've never seen anyone who looks like them, right, and

155
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 2: it's just a person you've never met, and you are

156
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 2: fully in love with them. And then you wake up

157
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: and you realize and it's almost like a sense of

158
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 2: loss when you wake Yes, isn't that?

159
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 3: I had that once or twice? So some Yeah, what's

160
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: the word amalgamation? Some mixed bag of every trait you've

161
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 3: seen that becomes a human.

162
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's either that, Scottie, or it is the other

163
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 2: universes bleeding in through our own.

164
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 3: That's just mind.

165
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 2: I love that, like in another world, you are married

166
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 2: to that person.

167
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 3: I had an experienced once. So I was walking in

168
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 3: Tribecca with three or four friends and I was a

169
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 3: little ahead of everybody. I think I was leading them

170
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 3: to the dinner of the bar or whatever. It's pretty

171
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 3: late night, and a woman is walking up the sidewalk

172
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 3: towards us, fairly empty sidewalks. We both make eye contact

173
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 3: with each other and we both say hi, and we

174
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 3: both go to speak more, and then we both realized

175
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 3: we don't know each other, but it was like we

176
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 3: was like total recognition. We said hello, and then we

177
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 3: kept walking and one of the women that was with me,

178
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 3: one of my friends, shocks up and goes, do you

179
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 3: know Julia Stiles? And I go no, she goes, that

180
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 3: was Julia Styles. You just talked to her, and she

181
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 3: looked at you like you guys used to hook up.

182
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 3: And I was like, I've never met her before. And

183
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 3: the other woman, her friend was like, that wasn't Julias Styles.

184
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 3: So that woman at the next light, runs across the street,

185
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 3: runs up the other block, gets ahead like two or

186
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 3: three blocks, comes back around to pass Julia Styles again,

187
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 3: passes Julius Styles. It was Julius Styles. And then she's like,

188
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 3: do you know Julia Stiles? And I was like, no,

189
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 3: I just look like every fourth white guy and it

190
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 3: happens to me a lot, but that one was. We

191
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 3: both looked at each other and I recognize her as

192
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 3: a you know, I've seen her on TV or whatever movie.

193
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 2: Oh oh it was you did recognize her. It was

194
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 2: just like a feeling of familiarity. I didn't know it

195
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 2: was her when I looked at her.

196
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 3: It was a feeling of familiarity and we said what

197
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 3: She was like hey, I was like, hey, what's And

198
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 3: then we both looked at each other like our mouths closed,

199
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 3: and we never stopped walking. We just walked by each other.

200
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,359
Speaker 3: It's very tall also, and but my friend was like,

201
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 3: like the women sensed it. They were like, did you

202
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 3: two have a thing back in the day. I'm like,

203
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 3: I I'm trying to even think of a movie. I

204
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 3: know she was in Save the Last Dance Mate. There

205
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 3: was a dance one. She was in a dance one

206
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 3: that was in a dance movie. Remember nice person. But yes,

207
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 3: it was that thing where we both thought we knew

208
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 3: each other in real life and then kept on walk in. Oh,

209
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 3: I love that so much. Here's another one about a

210
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 3: six year old child confession. I mean, the person's an

211
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 3: adult now, but they were a child at one point,

212
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 3: and who wasn't these days, who wasn't I'm still a

213
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 3: child at heart. Enough brain. It was the mid nineties.

214
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 3: I was around six, and we were on our way

215
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 3: home from vacation. My dad was using a payphone to

216
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 3: try to book a hotel for the night. Classic nineties. Yeah,

217
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 3: I mean what a dad too. Probably had his entertainment

218
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 3: coupon book out was just like there's a ho Joe.

219
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 2: Oh entertainment coupon book hold those were a big deal.

220
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 3: That was a big deal. It was over one thousand

221
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,719
Speaker 3: dollars in savings. Yes, yeah, that's right. I had a

222
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 3: lot of friendlies with that. My dad was using a

223
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 3: payphone to try to book a hotel for the night.

224
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 3: I feel like he was about to get a good

225
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 3: deal on the last room somewhere, and I walked up

226
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 3: and pressed the lever thing and hung up the phone.

227
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 3: Another great one was six six man six is it? Six?

228
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: Is?

229
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 3: Were like, you know how to do enough where you

230
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 3: can really funck shit up? Yes I can't. I can

231
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 3: still feel my parents frustration. I have no idea what

232
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 3: I was thinking. I probably didn't even realize what I

233
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 3: was doing. Yeah, but I've been carrying this burden for

234
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 3: twenty five years. Absolved. It is so funny. Those are

235
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 3: the that's a sweet spot one too. These are two

236
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 3: great confessions. That's it. It's like, get that thing off

237
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 3: your chest. That's so. It seems unremarkable, but it's stuck

238
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 3: with you like a jingle from a commercial.

239
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 2: It is and it is so and and and I'm

240
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: sure that your parents were frustrated the moment and then

241
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 2: the moment you went to bed.

242
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 3: They laughed about it. They laughed so hard.

243
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 2: Because just recently, yes, Olive olives five, going on all

244
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 2: fifteen ha ha, But it is very true. And Gus

245
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 2: found something in the dirt. It was like an old toy.

246
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 2: I had never seen the toy.

247
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 3: It was like a shark.

248
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 2: And Olive sees it and immediately fucking wants it because

249
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 2: that's just what they do back and forth, and.

250
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 3: She just goes, oh, Gus, what do you have. She goes, oh,

251
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 3: you know what that is from when you were a baby.

252
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 3: And it's not it's just it's just not a toy.

253
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 3: She's just lying. She knows she's lying.

254
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 2: She's like, and you're not a baby anymore, So do

255
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 2: you really want to be a baby, because if you don't,

256
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 2: I could take it for you.

257
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 3: And then he gave it to her. That is masters.

258
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 2: Caster and like just putting in a fear of being

259
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 2: a baby. That's like, oh, it's so amazing. That is

260
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 2: an ultimate sales technique.

261
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. I a guy that I knew in Pensacola. His

262
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,959
Speaker 3: dad was one of the great businessmen I've ever met

263
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 3: in my life, truly, one of the most incredible salesmen ever.

264
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 3: And one night over dinner. He was like, do you

265
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 3: want to know the secret to sales? And I said yes.

266
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 3: He goes one walk in and never tell anybody while

267
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 3: you're there, like why you were there, which is so funny.

268
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 3: Just go I need to speak to Kurt and they

269
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 3: go and what is this about? You go? I just

270
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 3: need to speak to him and they go, I'm sorry,

271
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 3: do you have a meeting? You go, I just got

272
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 3: to talk to Kurt. So you just go into the

273
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 3: person's caught off guard. They can't plan for you to

274
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 3: come in. Then when you sit down, you only ask questions.

275
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 3: You say, you get closer and closer to the answer

276
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 3: that you the salesperson wants. So it's what she did.

277
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 3: It's like, you don't want to be a baby anymore?

278
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 3: Do you remember when you were a child. And it's

279
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 3: so funny hearing that she figured that simple technique out

280
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 3: so early. But I do it in pitches now. I

281
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 3: like it. But they'll be like, hey, how you being

282
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 3: blah blah blah before you're pitching TV or a movie.

283
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 3: A lot of times I'll be like, so what do

284
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 3: you guys excited about on your slate? What is what's

285
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 3: something you're looking for? Like you do it in kind

286
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 3: of this casual way that they kind of go, we're

287
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 3: really looking to fill the animation space. We're really looking

288
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 3: to do our Western. And then you as soon as

289
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 3: they say the thing that you're prepared for, you go, well,

290
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 3: that is perfect because I'm pitching you a Western and

291
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 3: it's the best one you're going to hear all day.

292
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 3: I have a pretty high hit rate. I saw a

293
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 3: lot of stuff. But it's funny that Olive figured it

294
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 3: out as a child, as a five year old.

295
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then probably lost yes, and then and then

296
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 2: immediately threw it on the ground, immediately threw it on

297
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 2: the That's right.

298
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 3: It was the thrill of victory. It was the balance

299
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 3: of power being restored. Here's one about a ruined vacation.

300
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 3: I love it. I was on a cruise ship where

301
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 3: a man fell overboard. Oh my god. They spent seven

302
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 3: hours looking for him, and then we went back to

303
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 3: the port. They never found the body. He fell from

304
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 3: the sixteenth deck. I guess that's sixteenth floor, and they

305
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 3: are thinking he likely died on impact.

306
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 2: Whoa Seeah, of course sixteen and it's more than sixteen

307
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 2: floor is up at the bottom of it.

308
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 3: It's probably like two hundred feet or something, who knows,

309
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 3: but it's high and it's interesting seven hours looking back

310
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 3: at the port. That night they had a huge neon party.

311
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 2: Oh my god, of course, because all these other people

312
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 2: have already paid for their vacation and they want to

313
00:15:58,840 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 2: have a vacation.

314
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 3: They don't know this person. Holy shit, shit. I had

315
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 3: a neon party on the main deck. Not quite quite

316
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 3: what I would want for my memorial. But I didn't dance.

317
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 3: I went back to my room and went to sleep,

318
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 3: so I said. I followed up with this banana bullet,

319
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 3: said what is a neon party? And they said, it's

320
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 3: like a black light everybody wears neon colors, like disco,

321
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 3: techno dance party on the main floor. Oh so it's

322
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 3: exactly what you said. At some point they were like, well,

323
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 3: there's three thousand and five, four hundred and ninety nine

324
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 3: people still on the boat that won a party.

325
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my god. And then they I must have

326
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 2: gone back out. All these people paid for a cruise, right.

327
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 3: It's crazy. Yes. Our our friend and guest, Allson Fields,

328
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 3: is in a commercial you can currently see on TV

329
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 3: for Carnival Cruise Lines, The Thunderstruck commercials, and I asked

330
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 3: her about it. I forgot. I don't think we talked

331
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 3: about it when she was on Bananas. No, we did,

332
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 3: we did, we did. We talked about thunderstruck God, just

333
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 3: her stories of being on a cruise ship for I

334
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 3: think like seven days or something, seven or eight days.

335
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 3: But then you're not your participating. You're forced to participate

336
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 3: in everything interesting, the water slides, the rides, the dances,

337
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 3: the karaoke nights because you're in the commercial. But then

338
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 3: you're also not there with family or friends. That must

339
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 3: be purgatory. That must be purgatory on Earth. Is on

340
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 3: a cruise ship where you don't know anybody and you

341
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 3: have to participate, You have to do all the things.

342
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 3: It's just the worst. Yeah, And it's like it's not unfun,

343
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 3: but it's also not what you want to be doing.

344
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 3: So you're just kind of torn.

345
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 2: And it's not like and I don't maybe correct me

346
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: if you're if I'm wrong, I don't know. It's not

347
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 2: like there's a ton of single people who go by

348
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 2: themselves on a cruise to meet other people. It's mostly

349
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 2: people who go with people they know, So it's not

350
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 2: like there's anyone unattached to a group in some way,

351
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 2: so you're just alone in a very real way.

352
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 3: Yes, that's exactly what I'm thinking too. It's just like

353
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 3: this constant loneliness where there is food in every direction

354
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 3: and entertainment in every direction, and alcohol and views, and

355
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 3: yet you're like in your own world that, yeah, that's

356
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 3: my must purgatory exists. That's purgatory, and maybe maybe it

357
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 3: exists right now.

358
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 2: I wonder that is a really fucking great purgatory for

359
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 2: a movie. A cruse a completely empty cruise ship where

360
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 2: everything is turned on and ready to go so you

361
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 2: can have anything you want, but there is like no

362
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 2: joy in any of it.

363
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 3: Yes, it's like, yes, it feels like. As soon as

364
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 3: Allison was describing it to me, I was like, that

365
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 3: feels like you're in between things. Yeah. Well yeah, no,

366
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 3: I know a lot of I know a lot of

367
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 3: performers who would do that and that was their gig

368
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 3: for months and months and months, where they would do

369
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 3: two shows a week. Oh really, you did that.

370
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 2: I never did it, no, because they would tell me.

371
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 2: It's just like it's like the first one is awesome.

372
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 2: You go to Bermuda, you go out for you go

373
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 2: do a little level.

374
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 3: You do your shows. The shows suck, but who cares.

375
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 3: It's two for the.

376
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 2: Week, and then like by the fifth time, it's just

377
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 2: like just brutal, brutal sadness.

378
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think Alson said like on karaoke nights, the

379
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 3: same people would sing the same songs consecutive nights in

380
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 3: a row, like it was like it's my time to

381
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 3: shine again. And it's like I'm gonna sing here I

382
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 3: go again on my own again. Because it might be purgatory,

383
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 3: I've never been. We mentioned a Banana's cruise a long

384
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 3: time ago, and a lot of people were like, please,

385
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 3: dear God, do it. If we can get to that scale,

386
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 3: I would, we should do it.

387
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 2: I think we can do I think we can totally

388
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 2: do it soon, because like I said last time, it's

389
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 2: like I did a max Fun cruise. I think there

390
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 2: were two hundred people for that thing, so as other

391
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 2: people were on the boat, but it was like for

392
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 2: the for the event, it's only two hundred people in

393
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 2: the festival, do you know what I mean?

394
00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 3: Oh, that's fun.

395
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 2: And so then you have like you have like one

396
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 2: theater that's just blocked off all day for three days straight.

397
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 3: I see that could be fantastic. We could bring three

398
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 3: different guests. We could and match. I have different mind

399
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 3: friends of the past sort of thing. Maybe we figure

400
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 3: this out, but maybe it's an easy one. Maybe. I

401
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 3: mean they're they're cruise ships from Long Beach in LA now,

402
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 3: but there's some from Red Hook, there's some from I mean,

403
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 3: if we're gonna do it, we have to do like

404
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 3: Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas and bad like we have

405
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 3: to do cruise. Yeah, classic cruise, classic cruise. Get a

406
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,879

Speaker 3: on your shoulder.

408
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get braces again, just to have a feeling
