Speaker 1: the world's smallest park. How the tiniest ribbon cutting ceremonial Monday,

38
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: marking the official reopening of Millen's Park after the completion

39
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: of road construction on the Nato Parkway. So using a

40
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: miniature pair of scissors. I mean, this is the most

41
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: Portland story. That's why we love it. Borrowed from a

42
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: sewing kit. It took Carolyn Litzen Fagan, daughter of park

43
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: founder Dick Fagan.

44
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: Oh I like that.

45
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: Several snips to slice suit the green ribbon for the unveiling.

46
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: Mills End Park is located in the middle of a

47
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,839
Speaker 1: traffic median near the intersection of Nato Parkway and Southwest. Yeah, dude,

48
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: the photos of the sick are so good. You and

49
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: I have to take a photo up there and post

50
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: it when we go up there.

51
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: I'm I'm a little disappointed it wasn't mint floss instead

52
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 2: of a green ribbon.

53
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean?

54
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 2: Oh, it should have been mint floss across it and

55
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,119
Speaker 2: then clipped them with those tiny, tinny scissors. How big

56
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 2: is a park? Talk to me about this size?

57
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: Well, it is a Guinness Book World record for world's

58
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: smallest park. Now is four hundred and fifty two square inches.

59
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 2: I did not expect that inches. I did, okay, And.

60
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: It was tragically demolished last year for roadwork, but it

61
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: was reconstructed six inches west of its old location. It

62
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: was founded by this dude named Dick Fagan, who was

63
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: a columnist for the Oregon Journal. He wrote about it

64
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: in nineteen fifty four. But it so. Mills End is

65
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: named after the scraps of wood that were left over

66
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: from a mill, a lumber mill around there.

67
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: Oh I like that. Okay, so then this is purposeful

68
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: that the park is kind of like what's left over

69
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: from a larger park when you cut the bottom off

70
00:03:58,680 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: of it.

71
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: That's right. So at Friday's ribbon cutting, the Fagan children

72
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: brought a toy, a five inch ferris wheel, which was

73
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: once lowered into the park using a hands a full

74
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: sized crane. A full sized crane lowered down and five

75
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: inch farris wheel.

76
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: Really, oh, I love this. This is great.

77
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: The new and improved mills End Park. And so there's

78
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: a new sign. One of the they did improvements to

79
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: this park. So there's a little sign that says mills

80
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,239
Speaker 1: End Park. It's two feet across, it's in the shape

81
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: of a shamrock, and the park is currently home to

82
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: a plum bush, some tufts of grass, and a roughly

83
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: two inch wide park bench.

84
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 2: A two inch wide park bench. Yes, oh wait, two

85
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 2: inches like two inch wide meaning I'm trying to figure

86
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 2: out does that mean it's just book like it's a

87
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 2: little baby bench or is it two inches like deep

88
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 2: but a normal bench bench length long?

89
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: I think it's like two inches wide, right, and an

90
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: undetermined number of leprechauns. So anyways, if you live in

91
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: the Portlandia you I probably already know about this, but

92
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: if you don't send it to us, we'll post it

93
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 1: in the stories. We want to see Mills End Park,

94
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: Kurt and I will visit it when we come up

95
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: and play the Aladdin Theater. It makes me so happy.

96
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: Oh and I should shout out the better NATO Forever

97
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: project was who was responsible for making this back?

98
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: Oh that's great. I love that.

99
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: I mean, we gotta go. I love little road trip destinations.

100
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: Now are you kidding me? Especially the littlest road trip destination.

101
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 2: How's your week, Scott do We haven't even checked. We

102
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 2: just jumped right into that part.

103
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: I was just happy about that story. My week has

104
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: been very good. I did a little sailing because I

105
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: watched it from sailing. Oh, sailing was sick. So we

106
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: went from Marina del Rey, which is up near Santa

107
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: Monica and Venice, and then we sailed two hours down

108
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: to Redondo. And then I saw so many seals, so

109
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: many dolphins. It was a perfect day out there. We

110
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: Our favorite activity from my group of six friends, besides

111
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: drinking in the sunlight, was we would spot balloons or

112
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: trash or boxes out in the ocean and then we

113
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: would all grab nets and try to catch it and

114
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: circle around in a thirty foot sailboat. So we caught

115
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: lots of balloons.

116
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 2: Ah, but I still want to know were you under

117
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 2: sail or were you under were you put putt putt

118
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: in along?

119
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: So we did both. Yeah, we did both. And it

120
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 1: wasn't that windy. It really was pretty still. But once

121
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: we got down there, we went full sail and it

122
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: was quiet, and oh that's cool. Amory Heart made some

123
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: charcouterie and some dips and we just we hung in

124
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: a very real way. It was great.

125
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 2: Oh that sounds like my ideal day. Yeah, to have

126
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 2: a friend with the boat. The dreams gott you're living

00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 2: so the stress can melt away.

160
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: The last time you and I went campaign, I know

161
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: I was going to say it was last for my

162
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: birthday last Yeah, we did it last year. I was

163
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: thinking of the Donkey Trail, which everybody probably thinks is

164
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: a lot more erotic than what I'm about to say.

165
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: But there for one of Kurt's birthdays, and we might

166
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: have mentioned this before we hiked up. And then there's

167
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: the way they used to get supplies up of mountains

168
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: back in the day when you couldn't build trains out

169
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: there was they would have donkeys with with bags on

170
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: the side and they carry it up And there's still

171
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: one active in California. It might be the last one, right.

172
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 2: I don't have no idea, but yeah, it's but the

173
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: fact that it's that close to Los Angeles that you

174
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 2: can get you can just give a bunch of stuff

175
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 2: to a donkey and just be like, meet you up there, pal.

176
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: So we all go up there. It's a bunch of

177
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: Kurt's friends, old school buddies from the East Coasts, and

178
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: we had a wonderful time. It was so fun, very deep,

179
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: deep secluded. There's like a lodge and then there's these

180
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: camp houses and we all had different bunk beds and

181
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: I think on the second night there's a helipad in

182
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: the general area because just in case of an emergency.

183
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: And it's on sort of a famous trail to Mount Washington.

184
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: Right is that right to Mount Wilson. Mount Wilson, So

185
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: we knew where it was and we were like, well,

186
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: let's go see. Everybody's enhanced. We've all been drinking. We

187
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: go to look at the stars and Kurt's friend Rob

188
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: starts to kind of pee away from everybody, and Kurt

189
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: yells wild Sage, kicks Rob in the butt. It almost

190
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: kicks him off the side of a mountain by accident.

191
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: So for the rest of the week, whenever you wanted

192
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: to prank anybody who just yelled wild say, but Rob

193
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: was so scared. It was so I think about that

194
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: all the time whenever I see one side wild Sage.

195
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: And then you just push your buddy in the butt

196
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: and hope they don't pee on themselves while falling to

197
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: their death off a mountain.

198
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 2: And it's a pretty steep drive. It is a pretty

199
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 2: stick drive.

200
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: It really really was.

201
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 2: Oh man, Okay, you want to hear a story or

202
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 2: you got do you have a story that's connected to

203
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 2: that Portland thing? Before I move on?

204
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: The only no, I don't. Every time you go to

205
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: Portland there's five hundred stories, and I'm sure we're going

206
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: to make a lot more memories. The only the last

207
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: time I was in Portland was driving cross country during

208
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: the Great Choar no in twenty twenty one, and so

209
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: things were opening up and I went to the South

210
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: to a restaurant and this guy comes in. I'll tell

211
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: it very briefly, but it just sticks with me. And

212
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: there's like I'm eating and I hear like the staff

213
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: start to get mad at somebody and they were like,

214
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: you have to go right now. And this guy's like,

215
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: this is so messed up. You're doing this to me.

216
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: And he's like they're like, you keep stealing from people.

217
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: He's like, I am not stealing from anybody. And they're

218
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: like the bartender comes out, the manager, a couple of

219
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: servers and they're like walking this guy out, regular guy,

220
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: and he's like, I haven't taken anything. He literally has

221
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: kept a bottle sticking off his pocket and as he's going,

222
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: he's just taking things as he goes. I love that.

223
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: I love that. Yeah, so like there's ten tables. He's

224
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: coming towards me. It's like just lean in a little bit.

225
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: But he's just like I haven't taken a thing, and

226
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: he just is takeing like here's a knife and fork

227
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: set up, and here's the placers. Here's a little buzzer

228
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 1: thing for when you're reading to your table. And they

229
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: just kicked this guy out and he probably stole enough

230
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 1: to set up two three up to the table.

231
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 2: That's like, that's like, I think you should leave sketch

232
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 2: like right there. It really is, that's right. I remember

233
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 2: I was in Portland and it was me and a

234
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 2: friend and we were waiting. We were the only people

235
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 2: in this restaurant. The only people, Yeah, in a smallish restaurant, yes,

236
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 2: And it was like a Sunday or something, and we

237
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:05,479
Speaker 2: ordered two black Mary's and the watress looked at us

238
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 2: like she was like it was like a surprise to her,

239
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 2: like even like bloody Marys are definitely on the menu.

240
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 2: It wasn't like we were ordering them at a falafel

241
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 2: place or something, you know. And she's like looked at

242
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 2: us strange, like it was just her first day at work.

243
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 2: And then she leaves and swear to God. So we're

244
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: just like chit chat and chat and chatting. But after

245
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 2: about like fifteen twenty minutes, we're like I wonder if

246
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 2: those drinks are going to come out, And then they

247
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 2: eventually do. Uh, And this woman comes out with them

248
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 2: on a tray and one is oh boy, one is

249
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: pink and the other is brown. Okay, and they're like

250
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 2: just sitting right next to each other and one's pink

251
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 2: and one's brown, and I we're just like so confused,

252
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 2: and I were just like and we just said, like

253
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 2: before they got set down, I was like, I'm sorry,

254
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 2: why why is one pink and one brown? And then

255
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 2: she just did not say anything make sense, but just

256
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 2: looked at us like I wish I could do the

257
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 2: look she gave us, like like like she'd been caught,

258
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 2: like like like oh no, like raise the alarm, and

259
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 2: then like just turned around without saying anything and walked

260
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 2: back into the kitchen. Uh. And then was gone again

261
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 2: for like ten or fifteen minutes. And then she came

262
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 2: out with them again. One is big and what is brown,

263
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 2: and she just put them down at the table and

264
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 2: we didn't say anything that time, and then we were

265
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 2: just like, well, this is what's happening. This is what's happening.

266
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 2: Oh no, I do think when she came out after

267
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 2: ten minutes, she just said it's the mix. That's what

268
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 2: she said, it's the mix, and then left it and

269
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 2: I was like, there we go.

270
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: All right, different colors, neither one exactly what they should be.

271
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: Did you drink them? Did they test like Bloody Mary's.

272
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, one was disgusting and the other one was just

273
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 2: mostly vodka? Essentially they if they could have just like

274
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 2: gone back and mixed them together and probably would have

275
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 2: made two good ones. But whatever, I'm not judging. I'm

276
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: not judging.

277
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: I'm saving a story. I have a Portland story about

278
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: a bachelor party up there. I'm saving it for the

279
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: Aladdin show. All right, great and ACKed it out. I

280
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: might get physical with it.

281

Speaker 2: Hey, hen me, who doesn't love a good old act?

00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 2: then it keeps going and as soon as he starts

313
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 2: like cursing, then like pretty much everybody starts laughing. But

314
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 2: they're like laughing and crying at the same time, but

315
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 2: still laughing.

316
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: Amazing.

317
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 2: Daughter Andrea Bradley explained it was her father's dying wish

318
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 2: to play the message at his funeral. She also posted

319
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 2: the video to Facebook, where it's been viewed over one

320
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 2: million times since Sunday and has received thousands of positive reviews. Quote,

321
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 2: myself and my family are overwhelmed with the amazing response

322
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 2: and comments we have received regarding my dad's funeral. He

323
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 2: truly is a legend and was the most amazing man.

324
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 2: He would be overjoyed to know how many smiles and

325
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 2: laughs he has given to everyone. Thank you all so good.

326
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: That's the way to do it.

327
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 2: That's the way to do it. That's the way to

328
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 2: do it. Because it does, it brings it, like reminds

329
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 2: everybody what you were like, because it does when when

330
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 2: death happens, there is this this like you are so

331
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 2: sad that the person is gone, but the memory, like

332
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 2: the memory of who they were, if that can continue

333
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 2: in that moment, because that moment is so dark that

334
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 2: moment of the funeral is so dark. If the idea

335
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 2: of who they are could permeate that event, that would

336
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 2: be that would be amazing. That would be amazing.

337
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: Kristen's uncle Chuck did it.

338
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 2: Yes, he had it.

339
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: Oh, our our our beloved friend, our good friend, Kristin Shaw.

340
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: Her uncle passed away a couple of years ago, maybe

341
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: three years ago now, and we all knew him. He

342
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: was really fun and he wouldn't mind them talking about

343
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,239
Speaker 1: this at all. By the way, Yeah, like it was

344
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 1: his last performance art piece. Yes, there I don't remember

345
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 1: anybody crying at all. About fifteen people spoke. He had

346
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: written a song for everybody about where the Reindeers go,

347
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,959
Speaker 1: and we all started singing it together. To cover all

348
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: his bases, he took like a a three D printer

349
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: and made little models of Jesus God who it was like, Jesus, Buddha,

350
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: Obi Wan Kenobi or Yoda. He basically wanted to cover

351
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: all his bases, no matter where he good. Yeah, he

352
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: had coins on his eyes for crossing the River Styx.

353
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: But everybody just went up and told stories and laughed.

354
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: It was like, yeah, somebody wrote a song, another guy

355
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: played a song, but he and he wanted him to

356
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: play a pre recorded thing, and then he had edited

357
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: together a video of sort of the last couple of

358
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: years of his life. It was, it was exactly, It

359
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: was a celebration. It was wonderful. We all left. I

360
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: think everybody went and grabbed a drink afterwards, like it

361
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: was just it wasn't sad at all. Everybody processes grief differently,

362
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: but for me, that was now the highest watermark managiable

363
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 1: for if you die making fun for all your friends,

364
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: why not. That's what I want. That's what I want.

365
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 2: That's what I want.

366
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I want to be buried, like head buried.

367
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 2: Just your head, like just head head down, legs up.

368
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, head down, legs up, button the air, and I

369
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: want everybody to be able to pose with my button

370
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 1: the air, spank it, kick it, kiss it, whatever they want.

371
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: Just march a procession of people just doing whatever I want.

Speaker 1: That's what I want.

379
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 2: That's that's a great idea. I don't even want to

427
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,800

Speaker 1: welcoming everyone to raise awareness and fundraise for the Down

431
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,520

00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 2: Have we talked about that. We haven't talked about that

469
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 2: on the podcast yet.

470
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 1: I don't think we have. So yeah, Mintmobile gave us

471
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: that number and we said it probably one hundred times

472
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: on maybe sixty episodes that are now spinning forever and

473
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: in ever in infinity. And we got a direct message

474
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: from the person who got that number after we forfeited

475
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: it after that year. So please don't call this guy.

476
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: He seems like a He was cool about it. He

477
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: was not angry at us, but he said, I keep

478
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: He's like, yo, I keep getting call Saig this was

479

Speaker 1: the Banana Phone. But he says, everybody's been super sweet

480
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: and supportive. And I think he's a musician. So if

00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: you call him and you talk to him, be cool,

482

517
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: dollar painting on his first day on the job. This

518
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: was on there are a lot of websites out there,

519
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: probably over there's at least websites, at least I was saying.

520
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: I was gonna say at least two hundred, but there's

521
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: probably two hundred websites out there right now. This was

522
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: from two fab dot com, who we have used before.

523
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: Written by the best in the business, the two fab staff.

524
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 2: Oh my god, is it too just the number? That's

525
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 2: my question.

526
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: It's sadly not. It's t twofab dot com, one of

527
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: the top two hundred websites in the world.

528
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 2: A Russian rated by Yelp, rated by Yelp.

529
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: Rated by Yelp. A Russian security guard, on his first

530
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: day on the job, lifted his boredom by doodling on

531
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: a one million dollar painting.

532
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 2: Wow.

533
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: Wow, oh and it's so we will post this photo

534
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: for those who haven't seen it. The painting. It's by

535
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: the artist Anna le Poor Scott. It's an avant garde

536
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: three figures painted sometime in the nineteen thirties. It features

537
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: three humanoid figures devoid of any facial features. So three

538
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: three like long headed figures, zero facial features.

539
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 2: It's like I've seen the picture. The painting looks like

540
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 2: a reminds me of like the art for Metropolis, the

541
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 2: movie Metropolis a little bit, you know, like that kind

542
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 2: of futuristic feeling. Yeah, but now postdoodle it is much funnier.

543
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: Well that's right. It was devoid of facial features until

544
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: the undated guard got his hands on a ballpoint pen.

545
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: So on day one of working pors yeltsin Presidential Center

546
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: in a town, let's go for it, Yukka Terenberg. Maybe

547
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: I got close. Shout out to any animals in yuck

548
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: Kate Terenberg. The new employee decided to sketch a set

549
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: of eyes on two of the figures, certainly put eyes

550
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: on all three, which is which means somebody was about

551
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: to catch him, or he realized what he was doing

552
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: was wrong two thirds of the way through this thing, so.

553
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 2: He put eyes on two. He put ice on two

554
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 2: in the background right to the front round doesn't have it.

555
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 2: That's also funnier. Yeah, they're like peeking over her shoulder.

556
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: The curator Anna Reshetkin described this as a quote a

557
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: lapse of sanity end quote. I think that's fair to say.

558
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

559
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: It wasn't until Tuesday that the gallery announced it had

560
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: uncovered the culprit. Great word. We don't use culprit enough anymore.

561
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: The guard, who worked for private security firm, was fired.

562
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: The painting, meanwhile, has been returned to the State Gallery

563
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: in Moscow, which had originally loaned it. Also hilarious. Restoration

564
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: will cost an estimated four thy five hundred American dollars.

565
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: This is They didn't press charges, which is interesting. No,

566
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: that he wasn't. I thought he was going to jail

567
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: for some reason. I think, yeah, like touch anything in museum,

568
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: you go to jail for twenty five years. Yeah, but

569
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: I guess it's not.

570
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 2: Especially in Russia.

571
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: Who knows, they do things different over there. But they

572
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: didn't press charges because of the quote insignificant damage to

573
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: the artwork. I guess it's just four little circles for

574
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: really poorly drawn eyes, right.

575
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 2: And that can be actually easily taken off, right, Yes.

576
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. But normally you could get three years

577
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: in prison or a three million ruble which is forty

578
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: thousand American dollars fine, or three years of forced labor. Whoa,

579
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: see that's where. That's the Russia. I know that's the Russia.

580
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: I know that's breaking breaking rocks and Siberia here. I

581
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: just wonder what his day was, do you know what

582
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: I mean? Like his day?

583
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 2: One day one he gets there, I'm in an art

584
00:30:55,720 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 2: gallery and it was just nagging at him. It just

585
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 2: was nagging and Nagon and Nagon kept looking over. He's like, oh,

586
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 2: and he's mad. He's mad. These these people they need

587
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 2: to have faces. If they don't have faces, they can't see.

588
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: Dude, do you think you are not looking not looking me?

589
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: In the three humanoid figures?

590
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 2: It is it is so it is so much, it's

591
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 2: so much funnier looking.

592
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: It goes to improvement.

593
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 2: I do think it's an approvement and I do feel

594
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 2: I would normally be on the side of do not

595
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 2: deface art. In this case, I am kind of on

596
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 2: the side of a face art. It's a bit of

597
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 2: a grade.

598
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: What would you do? I was thinking about this just

599
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: in a general general terms. If you were in a

600
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: really good museum, So you're in a Metropolitan Okay, I

601
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: saw someone walk over to any painting, no security guards

602
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: in the room, It's just you and this other person,

603
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: and they just took a painting all the wall walked away.

604
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: What would you actually do.

605
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 2: I would assume that that person worked there.

606
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: Yeah right, I yeah. I would just be like, well,

607
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: they know what they're doing. Like I wouldn't. I wouldn't.

608
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: I would just keep walking around.

609
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 2: I would just keep walking around. I wouldn't even because also,

610
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 2: if I'm at the Metropolitan Museum, a couple things are

611
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 2: going on, I am fucking exhausted at just having gotten

612
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 2: there and gotten inside and got in through all of

613
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 2: the lines to like get in, like put my bag down,

614
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 2: check my bag, go through the thing. I'd be nervous

615
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 2: about COVID. I would be trying to stay away from people.

616
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 2: I would be like, how many more people are there

617
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 2: that could be possibly in this goddamn museum? And at

618
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 2: that point, I don't want any problems. I want to

619
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 2: get out after enjoying.

620
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: I want to.

621
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 2: I want to. I want to go stuck stick my

622
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 2: head in the fountain out front.

623
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: That's right. Also pro tip for all the younger ban

624
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: animals who are moving to a major city or anywhere

625
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: around the world, make sure you actually have to pay

626
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: for entrance fees. When somebody told me in New York

627
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: that most of the great museums are suggested donation, I

628
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: know it feels a little weird. But if you're a

629
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: working person or a student, or you just don't have

630
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: twenty dollars, yeah, just give them a buck. Once I

631
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: figured that out, I started going to all the museums

632
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: all the time. It was like, really cheap way to

633
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: get out of the apartment and maybe learn a little.

634
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: I remember going into the Natural History Museum once and

635
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: they had a showcase or whatever they about malls and butterflies.

636
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: They just had a room of live butterflies. Did you

637
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: go to that? It was fantastic.

638
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,959
Speaker 2: Oh, I've been to the one here, the one in

639
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 2: La It's my father.

640
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: The thing in the world is sitting still and watching

641
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: butterflies fly around stone call sober just enjoy this. It

642
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: makes you feel like a kid again.

643
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 2: Well, I met someone who used to do design for

644
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 2: the Natural History Museum here in Los Angeles, and she

645
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 2: told me that, so in LA they have a butterfly museum.

646
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 2: They have butterfly exhibit at the museum in the summer,

647
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 2: and then in the fall they have a spider exhibit

648
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 2: and they just feed the butterflies to.

649
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: The spiders there.

650
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 2: It is all the spiders have these like giant packages

651
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 2: of just wrapped up butterflies, which is great, Which is

652
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 2: great life. It's a circle of life. Just don't tell

653
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,280
Speaker 2: the kids. I already told Olive, she's more excited about

654
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 2: the spiders.

655
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: Now, there you go. That's a cool kid. I am

656
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,879
Speaker 1: so I tempt so much in New York City when

657
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: I tempted probably over fifty companies over my first three

658
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: or four years there. But there was this one day,

659
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 1: first day on job, and if I talked about this

660
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: years ago on the podcast, I've told the story to

661
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: friends in real life before. I'm not sure if I

662
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: did it on Bananas yet, but it was my first

663
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: day and I was sort of in a closet like

664
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,919
Speaker 1: they were just like file A lot of temp work

665
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: is like filing stuff and nailing stuff and mailroom. Mailroom

666
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: is actually really fun. I kind of miss working in

667
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: the mailroom. But it was my first day and it

668
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: was winter and so the sun kind of sets around

669
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: four pm. And they made me wear a shirt and tie.

670
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 1: You didn't have to wear like a full suit, but whatever.

671
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: And I was probably twenty two twenty three years old.

672
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: And the woman in HR who hired me, she comes

673
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: in at like three thirty in the afternoon and she's like, hey, Scotty,

674
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: can you come into the breakroom. I was like, yeah, sure, absolutely,

675
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 1: And I was gonna be working there all week, but

676
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 1: this was a Friday, and so I was gonna be

677
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: working the following week. So on Friday I go in

678
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 1: and I thought she was just gonna like show me

679
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: around and be like, hey, here's the vending machine or

680
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: here's whatever. Instead, every single employee is in the breakroom

681
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 1: and there is a cake in the middle of the room,

682
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 1: and then she's like, you could just go sit over there,

683
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: So I just go sit at the end of this table.

684
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,399
Speaker 1: I'd know no one in that room except that woman,

685
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: and nobody in that room except the woman who hired me,

686
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: knows who I am. They just know I'm a temp.

687
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,479
Speaker 1: And then a older woman, probably sixty five years old,

688
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:57,280
Speaker 1: comes in. They all yell surprise. She screams and starts crying.

689
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 1: It was her last day after twenty seven years of

690
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,240
Speaker 1: working there. They made her a cake. She looks around

691
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: the room like holding her chest. Her hands are like cross.

692
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: She's i mean, gushing tears, totally cough guard and is

693
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: making eye contacting like mouthing like thank you, you guys

694
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: are the best. Ever gets to me, has no fucking

695
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 1: clue who I have no clue who she is, and

696
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: I'm just sitting there, and so what do you do?

697
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: I just start passing out plates. I just asked out

698
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: the star fum plates.

699
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 2: To make exactly that's exactly what you do.

700
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: Everybody's hugging each other, They're all wishing her good thing.

701
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 1: It was very office space. It was like a true

702
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,959
Speaker 1: moment of like her last day was my first day.

703
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 1: Talk about circle life. She is the butterfly, I was

704
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 1: the spider. But I think about that story all the time.

705
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: And then we all just went back and went back

706
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: to work. But I think about that all the time,

707
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: just because, like I wonder if she remembers me being

708
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 1: there because I remember her exactly. But I wonder if

709
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: she was like it was so nice, or if she

710
00:36:56,040 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: has chosen to mentally delete me from that scene. I'm

711
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 1: only focused on all the people she worked with for twenty.

712
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 2: I think she was maybe like that person came with

713
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 2: the cake, do you know what I mean? Like that

714
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 2: person was hired by the cake company to hand out

715
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 2: the cake plate and plate boy.

716
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:15,760
Speaker 1: Plates.

717
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 2: We bring you cake and plates, cake and plates.

718
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 1: In New York, that would be huge, huge, Like.

719
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 2: How no, I get it, you don't have enough plate

720
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 2: for your cake.

721
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 3: We bring the.

722
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 2: Plates with it was sweet, That's great. I worked at

723
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 2: a staffing agency. But on the other side, I like

724
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 2: worked I was the staffing agent.

725
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:39,760
Speaker 1: Oh you were hiring people. I wasn't.

726
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 2: I just worked at the office of the staffing agency

727
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 2: fixed computers. That's for many, many, many, many many years.

728
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 2: And I remember this one and it's by far the

729
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 2: most absurd business that I have ever worked at in

730
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 2: my entire life. Okay, like so many strange stories, but

731
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 2: I remember once they would always have a office party.

732
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 2: And maybe it's strange to me only because i've this

733
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 2: is like maybe one of the on this is the

734
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,479
Speaker 2: only corporate office I've ever worked in in my life,

735
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 2: do you know what I mean? Yes, corporate shit is

736
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 2: really weird, and maybe that's why it is. But I

737
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 2: was there for eight years, you know, while I was

738
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 2: trying to like write comedy and and so they have

739
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 2: an office Christmas party, classic classic corporate office Christmas party.

740
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 2: One year, they decided to do it on one of

741
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:34,479
Speaker 2: those boats that go around the lower tip of Manhattan. Boy,

742
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 2: So we all like left work on a Friday. We

743
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 2: all like went down got on the boat at like

744
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 2: seven pm or eight pm or whatever. And then you're

745
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:51,320
Speaker 2: locked on this boat with the people, the human beings

746
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 2: that you work with. Yeah, and it's open bar and

747
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 2: I'm like twenty three or twenty four at the time. Yeah,

748
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 2: so I'm going to town. But the thing is is

749
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 2: that also it's like the majority of people who worked

750
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 2: there all lived on Long Island, and they were like

751
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 2: they could drink, Like they could really really drink, do

752
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Like these like kind of

753
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,959
Speaker 2: like tough Long Island people who were like, we're gonna

754
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 2: drink bye, And then they have dinner maybe like an

755
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 2: hour and so it's an hour of drinking and then

756
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 2: there's dinner and they do speeches and stuff like that,

757
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 2: and then there is like an hour and a half

758
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 2: after dinner is over, where people have been drinking all

759
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 2: the hour, that full hour beforehand, and so everyone is

760
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 2: like wasted, just totally wasted. And then they're locked on

761
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 2: the boat and there's nothing to do but just to

762
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 2: continue to drink on the boat. So by the time

763
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,280
Speaker 2: we got off of that boat at like eleven PM

764
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 2: or something, everyone had been drinking for four straight hours.

765
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 2: No one is accustomed to doing that. Everyone one is like,

766
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 2: there's people vomiting over the side as we got off

767
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,959
Speaker 2: the boat. It was and that it was never ever

768
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 2: again on a boat. It was never in the eight years.

769
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,399
Speaker 2: That was the one time they tried it out, Never

770
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:11,280
Speaker 2: on a boat again.

771
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: Were you friends with anybody or were you just kind

772
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: of hanging by yourself and watching everybody else watching the

773
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: world sail by.

774
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 2: It was the weird Like the friendships were the strangest

775
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 2: friendships again, And I guess this is just like their

776
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:25,200

00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 1: business after more than seventy years, Kurtie b the FDA,

949
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 1: that is, the Food and Drug Administration.

950
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,799
Speaker 2: Not the Fred Dave Alliance, which is going strong on

951
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:16,360
Speaker 2: my block.

952
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 1: Yep, they still have a good firm handshake going. Ummm.

953
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: The FDA is dropping its regulation for French salad dressing.

954
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 2: Oh, French dressing. French dressing, right.

955
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 1: That's right. So after seventy years, the federal government has

956
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 1: decided that French dressing no longer needs to be regulated.

957
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 2: Why was it regulating. Isn't French dressing just ketchup and

958
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 2: mayonnaise mixed together?

959
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 1: Does it? We don't have to know anymore.

960
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:46,359
Speaker 3: Um.

961
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:51,800
Speaker 1: When the standard of identity was established in nineteen fifty,

962
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 1: French dressing was one of three types of dressings we identified,

963
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:59,359
Speaker 1: said the Food and Drug Administration. Three yes, The other

964
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 1: two were made end quote salad dressing end quote.

965
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 2: No, no, no, that's amazing dressing.

966
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:11,279
Speaker 1: Mayonnaise salad dressing. That is the only thing they were identifying.

967
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 2: I would like a salad, what would you like on it?

968
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 1: What do you have?

969
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:16,240
Speaker 2: Mayonnaise? Salad dressing and French dressing.

970
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 1: French dressing is the only poorable dressing required to adhere

971
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:29,840
Speaker 1: to standards that mean it has oil acidifying ingredients and seasoning.

972
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:33,439
Speaker 1: Other foods, including bread, jam, and juices, have their own

973
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 1: standards of identity, Kurt, but no longer for French dressing.

974
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 1: There were a wide variety of French style dressings on

975
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:43,800
Speaker 1: the market and these will continue to be available based

976
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,799
Speaker 1: on consumer demand. This is wonderful news for grandmothers out there.

977
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 1: I don't know who's still ordering French dressing. Besides, if
