Speaker 2: much it.
Speaker 4: Research and development.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 2: You and two other people.
Speaker 1: So you were on the prices right, and you did
Speaker 1: very well.
Speaker 4: I did very well. I should.
Speaker 5: I've been watching the show for no lie twenty years.
Speaker 5: It is my special interest. When I don't watch it
Speaker 5: during the day, I watch them all during the weekend,
Speaker 5: one after another. I grew up as a kid with
Speaker 5: my parents owning bodegas, so when it came to like
Speaker 5: produce and checkout stuff, I was like, baby, isaf for me?
Speaker 4: Okay, Like he was like, you're doing great.
Speaker 5: The first the first game I hit, I guess the
Speaker 5: first like the first price, like to the penny. It
Speaker 5: was three twenty nine for like some catfish batter. I'll
Speaker 5: never forget it. And they made my game check out
Speaker 5: extra hard because it was for a car. Usually maybe
Speaker 5: it's like for a tramp or whatever. Trips are still
Speaker 5: very cool. I was just happy to be there and
Speaker 5: went all the way to the end wanted and got
Speaker 5: to a deal. It was a Kia, a Kia, a
Speaker 5: red Kia. And then I sat down being like, I
Speaker 5: don't drive, what am I going to sell this Kia for?
Speaker 5: But it was It was great because the story goes
Speaker 5: I had quit my job of ten years the week
Speaker 5: before and I was heading to La Yes, I was
Speaker 5: heading to La on just like a rub elbows, like
Speaker 5: fucking going to the Grammys for the first time. Yeah,
Speaker 5: And I took myself to the prices right alone, like
Speaker 5: the morning one. Oh Yes, and I won that car,
Speaker 5: and it changed my life. It allowed me this past
Speaker 5: year to be my own business and do my own things.
Speaker 5: So thank you to Carrie. I mean always thank you
Speaker 5: to carry, but specifically thank you to carry.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. So, and what was the original bid when
Speaker 1: you got called down? How many rounds until you got
Speaker 1: on stack?
Speaker 4: I think it was three. I completely blacked out. I
Speaker 4: couldn't tell you.
Speaker 5: I mean, just as bad as it is hearing yourself
Speaker 5: seeing and hearing yourself as another exercise on its own
Speaker 5: that I don't wish on my worst enemy. So completely
Speaker 5: blacked out. My parents have whatever I won, which was
Speaker 5: like a room bow for your lawn. Great, got up
Speaker 5: there at the lamba exactly and I went up, I played,
Speaker 5: and I sat down and I was like, I only
Speaker 5: care about touching the wheel.
Speaker 4: Got on the wheel.
Speaker 5: The first person got in an eighty five, the guy
Speaker 5: before me a ninety, and then I hit it with
Speaker 5: a ninety five right on the ninety.
Speaker 4: I am dead ass.
Speaker 5: I'm dead ass. And of course it's a broke podcast.
Speaker 5: Or you're like, what is my marketing? And they were like, hey,
Speaker 5: you can shout anybody out, but you know, no businesses,
Speaker 5: no companies, and I was like, watch this.
Speaker 4: I go up there.
Speaker 5: I'd like to say thank you and I love you
Speaker 5: to my parents, my fiance Martin, and Fallout Boy, because
Speaker 5: I knew at that moment someone would be like, did
Speaker 5: this girl just shout out fallout Boy on rices right?
Speaker 4: And I would look it up on Twitter and so
Speaker 4: I'd be like, yes, and I have this show about
Speaker 4: Fallout Boy.
Speaker 2: Oh that's great.
Speaker 5: It did really great on TikTok and Instagram. So I'm
Speaker 5: very very thankful for that. But that is that is
Speaker 5: my Price is Right story has completely changed my life.
Speaker 3: So did you? So?
Speaker 2: Did you went in the showcase showdown?
Speaker 5: You did not win that I did not win, but no,
Speaker 5: because I won just being there, like when you are
Speaker 5: like us, people like you are just happy to be there.
Speaker 5: And I was happy to be there girl. And I
Speaker 5: had won the car and I look at this woman
Speaker 5: who's sal I forget her name, but she was amazing
Speaker 5: and she looks over at me. She's like, you know
Speaker 5: when you bid on that Celesti pizza. I felt my
Speaker 5: mom there because my mom had passed and her name
Speaker 5: was Celeste. And the way her eyes lit up when
Speaker 5: she saw it.
Speaker 1: So sweet she sad named Pepperoni.
Speaker 4: Literally, I'm Pepperoni Junior. My brother's name three five, three
Speaker 4: twenty nine and.
Speaker 5: My sister two fifty for an ollipop. It's a family name.
Speaker 5: And the way sher eyes lit up, you can hear
Speaker 5: me on the tape when they go. I was able
Speaker 5: to pick first because I was the highest winner that day,
Speaker 5: and I just look at her and I'm like, that's
Speaker 5: actually yours, like I knew it was for her.
Speaker 4: And I was off by maybe two hundred.
Speaker 5: And fifty extra, which means that I have If I
Speaker 5: had bid two fifty less, I would have done a
Speaker 5: double showcase and I would have felt like.
Speaker 2: Damn crazy goodness.
Speaker 5: But I can play again in nine years, So a baby,
Speaker 5: I'm coming back to the day.
Speaker 4: I will be there, I promise you see.
Speaker 1: Kurt, and I would be terrible at the prices right
Speaker 1: now because we've lived in Los Angeles for two years. Oh,
Speaker 1: I would love to go. I'd be a great audience member.
Speaker 1: I want to have a T shirt. I may have
Speaker 1: said this on the pod before that has Barker's Beauties
Speaker 1: written on it crossed out and it says no and
Speaker 1: then underneath Drudi's quties which is so stupid, and I
Speaker 1: just want to chant Drudie's Cuties the entire time.
Speaker 5: I think, I think we can make this happen if
Speaker 5: we just want to put in the waters.
Speaker 1: Now, we've lived in two cities where everything is so
Speaker 1: expensive that if you're like, here's a jar of prey,
Speaker 1: go how much is this? I'd be like sixty dollars.
Speaker 1: They're like, hey, how much is bake? And I'm like
Speaker 1: twenty two dollars.
Speaker 4: Drew like like deals everywhere where am I.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Sometimes even in Los Angeles, there's like several
Speaker 1: levels of grocery stores. You know, there's arewon which we've
Speaker 1: talked about, which is a nightmare. Then there's like Wholefoods
Speaker 1: is actually cheaper than the local place, Skelston's. Then you
Speaker 1: go Vonn's, and you go John's, and you go Ralphs,
Speaker 1: and it's like sometimes I'll walk around Ralphs and I'm like,
Speaker 1: look at this. It's like I'm stealing from this place.
Speaker 1: It's so cheap. But you're like looking around seventy nine incredible,
Speaker 1: And then my mom comes in there with me from
Speaker 1: the East Coast and it's like this is so expensive.
Speaker 1: I would overbid by four thousand dollars on every item.
Speaker 5: I mean, being an East Coast like Philly piece of shit,
Speaker 5: Like I was just like really really like tuned in again.
Speaker 5: I grew up just like watching my parents run a
Speaker 5: like Bodega poppy store. You already know, like if you're
Speaker 5: on the East Coast, that's what we call it, the
Speaker 5: poppy stores.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and so I mean it was just like wah.
Speaker 5: Wah prices, like what are like if I'm there at
Speaker 5: the wa wife, I'm there at the Giant at the
Speaker 5: stopping shop.
Speaker 1: Like what are you getting? It's the smartest show ever created.
Speaker 1: It's every single an advertisements.
Speaker 2: Also the show, it's so all advertising, it's all capitalism,
Speaker 2: and it's so fun to watch.
Speaker 4: Oh, it's so fun.
Speaker 5: It was My husband knows this, but like best day
Speaker 5: of my life, Like like he's like I understand why,
Speaker 5: but it was.
Speaker 4: It was amazing.
Speaker 1: Isn't it weird that the models talk now though, Like
Speaker 1: you know, they have they have men and women models now,
Speaker 1: which was a good upgrade. And now they'll like check
Speaker 1: in with them and they'll be like good luck, and
Speaker 1: I'm like I know what we're doing. We're just these
Speaker 1: people are human beings. They deserve some agency in this world.
Speaker 1: But it's also like.
Speaker 4: The same joke every time, where they're like, is that
Speaker 4: bag of money heavy for you?
Speaker 5: And they're like, I've been working out every time every
Speaker 5: time if I had a Nickel millionaire.
Speaker 1: I feel the same way about sports. When you watch
Speaker 1: the NFL now, they do interviews with the coach, the
Speaker 1: head coaches during the game, and I'm like, who is
Speaker 1: this for? Who is wondering what the head coach is thinking?
Speaker 1: Two minutes into this, it's like, just play the game, Hey,
Speaker 1: how you feel about this time out?
Speaker 4: Who just wind just covering his mouth, just like no, no,
Speaker 4: not today. I'm I'm manic, just watching.
Speaker 1: We don't care, not just turn the thing, touch the thing,
Speaker 1: we don't care.
Speaker 5: Do the thing.
Speaker 4: Play the song, Go Eagles, go Berts.
Speaker 1: Congratulations. I am so happy because so you are. I
Speaker 1: think the third guest we've ever had that was a
Speaker 1: fan of the podcast that became a guest, and it's

Speaker 2: besides that was like a super special you know people from.
Speaker 1: That was for mine, that was also me.
Speaker 4: That was the Benn diagram is me. I'm the middle
Speaker 4: part of both of those moments.

Speaker 5: will know exactly how we feel. And by we I
Speaker 5: mean me and I wear my heart on my sleeves
Speaker 5: at all time. So you're welcome and thank you.
Speaker 1: That means a lot, got it? And one last thing,
Speaker 1: did you really not know that my favorite murder Karen
Speaker 1: and Georgia were on the second Bananas Show?
Speaker 5: I really I was hoping we could take this off
Speaker 5: offline because when I'm telling you, like I was just
Speaker 5: it's just so delirious, just like so tie happy and
Speaker 5: excited thinking about everyone except for y'all at that point,
Speaker 5: you know, true, And and I mean I was sitting
Speaker 5: at a Lisa a shout out to Lisa, who really
Speaker 5: really just held me down all the way in the back,
Speaker 5: and I didn't I didn't know, and I didn't know
Speaker 5: how if y'all knew how big of a fan I was,
Speaker 5: and I was just very unwell. I I mean, Karen
Speaker 5: and Georgia are just two incredible, incredible people who like
Speaker 5: even pushed me into like podcasting and just talking about
Speaker 5: what I'm passionate about and being funny about it and
Speaker 5: just having a heart about it. So it was it
Speaker 5: was a hundred It was one hundred percent a surprise
Speaker 5: that I am amazing. If once a day you can
Speaker 5: just say this is the best day of my life,
Speaker 5: even if just like for something super small or super big,
Speaker 5: like it's a good day. And that was that was
Speaker 5: my moment where it's like, after this amazing bananas fest,
Speaker 5: like I am in the same comedy den living room
Speaker 5: lobby area with Karen and Georgia, and that was just
Speaker 5: it was.
Speaker 4: It was the magic on top. So thanks.
Speaker 1: It was a fun secret surprise, and I'm just glad

Speaker 4: That made nobody tells me anything.
Speaker 2: I'm really really.
Speaker 1: Kept it under our hats. I mean, I'm surprised Karen,
Speaker 1: Georgia knew we told him we were going to dinner
Speaker 1: at Roots, Chris Steakhous. They walked on stage. You're scared shitless.
Speaker 5: You're in your pajamas. Everything's so scary, like one of
Speaker 5: those like Luna toys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, m.
Speaker 1: All right, curty b let's dive into a story.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Here it is controversial study shows rats prefer jazz to
Speaker 2: classical music, went on drugs.
Speaker 4: What's controversial?
Speaker 2: This is you know what this is from Classic FM.
Speaker 2: Classic FM doesn't care about cocaine, you know, I think.
Speaker 1: It's about giving rats cocaine. Is the controversial part.
Speaker 2: I don't actually think that that's the controversial part. Miriam
Speaker 2: Colette sent this, and thank you Miriam. And if you
Speaker 2: have want to send your strange news story, send it
Speaker 2: to our dms on Instagram, at The Bananas Podcast or
Speaker 2: email us at The Bananas Podcast at gmail dot com.
Speaker 2: Classic FM, uh classic FM, I don't even understand me.
Speaker 4: Classic fume.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, but I don't think it's like
Speaker 2: FM like music. Oh maybe it is classic.
Speaker 1: F fiers, classic uh fart monster. Here it is.
Speaker 2: It's by Maddie Shaw Roberts. Thank you Matty Shaw Roberts.
Speaker 1: Oh here or shere. They are truly my favorite writer.
Speaker 4: I wake up every day and I'm like, what does
Speaker 4: she have to say? On Classic not FM?
Speaker 2: Rats prefer the sound of silence to Beethoven and Miles Davis,
Speaker 2: except when they're on drugs, then they prefer the jazz.
Speaker 2: It says, the jazz, which is I love. I don't
Speaker 2: know if it's a typo, but I like it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: These are the results of a controversial twenty eleven study.
Speaker 2: This study has been around since twenty eleven, and I
Speaker 2: am shocked to my core that no one has ever
Speaker 2: sent it into Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Study by Albany Medical College and with scientists exposed thirty
Speaker 2: six rats to for a lease by Beethoven and four
Speaker 2: a brassy jazz standard by Miles Davis. The rats overwhelmingly
Speaker 2: preferred Beethoven to Davis, but they liked silence best of all.
Speaker 2: In the second part of the experiment, the rats were
Speaker 2: given cocaine and played Miles Davis over a period of
Speaker 2: a few days. After that, the rodents preferred the jazz
Speaker 2: even after the drug was out of their system. The research,
Speaker 2: according to scientist, showed rats can be conditioned to like
Speaker 2: any music associated with their drug experience. Okay, guess that's
Speaker 2: what I guess that's what we learned.
Speaker 1: Yeah right.
Speaker 2: It is so here where it becomes controversial.
Speaker 1: Oh, I see.
Speaker 2: In the months after Albany's med paper was published, it
Speaker 2: attracted criticism from groups opposing animal testing. Study made it
Speaker 2: into the top ten list of most ridiculous research on
Speaker 2: animals of twenty eleven. We thought this was particularly wasteful,
Speaker 2: said Eric Kleman, research director for IDA, which is in
Speaker 2: defensive animals, who ranked all of these MEDS paper the
Speaker 2: second worst for two music experiments on rats.
Speaker 6: Really because I think they do some really crazy stuff
Speaker 6: to add giving rats cocaine and letting them list listen
Speaker 6: to it jazz great.
Speaker 4: I was like, this is a waste of cocaine.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I was like, I think they're fine.
Speaker 5: I think they all have ADHD and we're like super overstimulated.
Speaker 5: And then all of a sudden they have a stimulant
Speaker 5: and they're like, this is it. This is this is
Speaker 5: actually where I'm going. I now listen to Snarky Puppy.
Speaker 5: I'm following them on tour. This is where we're going.
Speaker 2: But it also means that there is a laboratory that
Speaker 2: creates laboratory quality cocaine in the United States, which I
Speaker 2: did not know that was a thing, because there's no there.
Speaker 2: I don't Is it only fort like what laboratories making
Speaker 2: cocaine specifically to give to rats?
Speaker 4: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Because I don't know if cocaine is being used in
Speaker 2: any other applications that would require like a like a
Speaker 2: you know, a consistent supply that has the same qualities.
Speaker 1: It's for some.
Speaker 4: Reason in in in an RV like off of campus,
Speaker 4: like it's it's really a moment.
Speaker 1: Don't you wish you had taken chemistry more seriously your
Speaker 1: holding Like sometimes I'm like, man, if I could just cook.
Speaker 1: When I watched Breaking Bat, I'm like, why can't I cook?
Speaker 1: I know, why can't I do?
Speaker 4: Why can't I cook? Period?
Speaker 1: I cook?
Speaker 2: I remember when I was there, was it was a
Speaker 2: time that you were there that I my my friends
Speaker 2: and I. There was a a chemist who was an
Speaker 2: Irish chemist. He had lost an arm from an actually
Speaker 2: an ira A bomb and he and he had phantom
Speaker 2: limb pain. But he really liked to do special K.
Speaker 2: But he didn't like the K hole that you would
Speaker 2: get in on special K. So he, because he was
Speaker 2: a chemist, he went and altered one of the molecular
Speaker 2: arms on the K molecule. And then once you alter it,
Speaker 2: it's just a chemical compound and you can get any
Speaker 2: factory in the world to just pump it out for you.
Speaker 2: And then he gave the recipe to this to a
Speaker 2: Chinese factory and then you could just.
Speaker 1: Go for a while.
Speaker 2: It was called raffel copter, Oh yeah, and you could
Speaker 2: go online and just legally order like three or four
Speaker 2: grams of raffel copter and it would come to your
Speaker 2: house in the United States. And so my friend did
Speaker 2: this because he read it about it on the internet
Speaker 2: and he's like, this seems interesting, and it was the
Speaker 2: weirdest drug I've ever done in my entire life. Of course,
Speaker 2: this is twenty years ago at this point, or like
Speaker 2: fifteen years.
Speaker 4: Twenty seconds ago.
Speaker 2: Yes, it was.
Speaker 1: Twenty seconds ago. He love shows.
Speaker 2: But it was like, I was like, oh, this is
Speaker 2: what you could do if you don't like certain aspects
Speaker 2: of a drug and you're a chemist, you could just
Speaker 2: alter it and then send it to a Chinese factory.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think it's poetic that he was able to alter
Speaker 5: the arm of whatever configuration that is, and not of
Speaker 5: his Okay, thank you.
Speaker 1: Thank you, okay, thank you? So is why is she won?
Speaker 1: Folks ninety five? On the wheel at Wheel of Fortune?
Speaker 1: Is is it heavy?
Speaker 4: Is the wheel is heavier than you think?
Speaker 5: But I'm I'm a big strong girl. I held that
Speaker 5: I cranked that ship.
Speaker 4: It was great.
Speaker 1: I think we're going to have to get your best
Speaker 1: clip of it and put it in our story this episode.
Speaker 4: You have to send it to clip is the best clip?
Speaker 1: Thank you? That's very true. Well that's so interesting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I I god, was it? What the bigger purpose of
Speaker 1: the study was it to see okay great.
Speaker 2: The ultimate goal of this research, oh good, is to
Speaker 2: find medications that can help diminish drug cravings in humans,
Speaker 2: said Jeffrey R. Gordon, spokesman for Albany MED. The top
Speaker 2: ten list was made up of blah blah blah blah
Speaker 2: blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
Speaker 2: Albany Medical College defended the research, which was aimed at
Speaker 2: the undertaking understanding whether music can evoke drug cravings and animals.
Speaker 2: According to the authors, the study demonstrated that rats can
Speaker 2: be conditioned like any music. Yeah, we got that.
Speaker 1: Okay, we get that. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I don't understand how you go from look we
Speaker 2: can make rats like jazz with cocaine to find medications
Speaker 2: that can help diminish drug cravings in humans. I don't
Speaker 2: see the connection. But that's just because we're dumb.
Speaker 5: That's why it's so controversial. That's why we're podcasting right
Speaker 5: now and they're making the lab code.
Speaker 1: That's why we don't work at all.
Speaker 2: Beany MED.
Speaker 1: I've never met a question missed in my entire life.
Speaker 2: Don't question if there if there's people doing rat cocaine studies,
Speaker 2: don't you dare question them? You let those rats have
Speaker 2: their cocaine and you let them listen to whatever type
Speaker 2: of music they want to.
Speaker 4: All right, So cocaine's the gateway to jazz and not
Speaker 4: the other way around.
Speaker 6: That.
Speaker 4: That's really what what I'm I'm deriving from this.
Speaker 2: But then it's also the it's the gateway back into
Speaker 2: cocaine once you've stopped doing cocaine. Then when you hear
Speaker 2: Biles Davis.
Speaker 5: Saca vicious cycle until you make your own progressive jazz album,
Speaker 5: and then it ends, that is the cycle, and it
Speaker 5: ends right there.
Speaker 1: Jack. Going to see jazz is a little bit like bowling,
Speaker 1: where when you get invited and you go, you have
Speaker 1: a great time, and you're like, we should do this
Speaker 1: all the time, we should do this every month, and
Speaker 1: then two years goes by and you do it again.
Speaker 1: Like in New York there was a couple jazz places
Speaker 1: that were fine and you would sit there and watch
Speaker 1: and have a drink, maybe your own date whatever. But
Speaker 1: then you're like, oh, that was really good. I really
Speaker 1: feel like I had a good experience. And then five
Speaker 1: years blow by and then you're like, boy, I didn't
Speaker 1: go see jazz again.
Speaker 2: No, but I do feel like that when I am
Speaker 2: at like a good jazz club like where it's like
Speaker 2: really amazing music, I'm like, I why am I not
Speaker 2: here every Friday night? This is the most awesome display
Speaker 2: of human creativity that has ever happened in the night
Speaker 2: that it's ten years and I haven't got back.
Speaker 5: I think it's it's the lack of fanaticism right where.
Speaker 5: It's like this guy Alfonso who just did the sickest
Speaker 5: lick for like six minutes that you've ever heard, has
Speaker 5: three Instagram followers, like you'll never.
Speaker 4: See him again.
Speaker 5: You know, uses Facebook for like, you know, bookings and everything.
Speaker 5: I used to be the hostess at a jazz club
Speaker 5: and the yeah Chris's Jazz Cafe and Philly what up?
Speaker 5: And it was the regulars were were regular, not to
Speaker 5: the music, but but to to the space, you know
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. So it was it was a very
Speaker 5: exactly allegedly and yeah, like like people who are there
Speaker 5: regular are are are not the people you want to
Speaker 5: regularly go to jazz shows with.
Speaker 4: The jazz is a front.
Speaker 5: Everything else is like a Ceili's mattress form back there,
Speaker 5: like there's something nefarious happening. The jazz is just covering
Speaker 5: the noises of the nefariousness.
Speaker 1: Oh, I like that. That's a cool thing. Yeah, put
Speaker 1: that in a horror movie or something.
Speaker 2: That's a really good idea.
Speaker 1: That's an interesting take on that. Do you know Scarlett.
Speaker 1: Do you know the comedian John Benjamin. He does the
Speaker 1: voice of Bob.
Speaker 2: Bob Burgers Archery. Yeah, so about ten years ago he
Speaker 2: still does it.
Speaker 1: He put out a jazz album. He does not play
Speaker 1: a musical instrument, so he sits at a piano, and
Speaker 1: then he hired like four of the best session jazz
Speaker 1: musicians in New York City and then he just to
Speaker 1: accompany him, bangs on the piano and plays little things
Speaker 1: and little riffs and little taps keys, and then these
Speaker 1: guys improvised with him, and he put out an entire
Speaker 1: album jazz music, and he does not know how to
Speaker 1: play the piano.
Speaker 2: Jazz Daredevil.
Speaker 4: Do you guys want to do drugs to it?
Speaker 1: It sounds yeah, you need to. It sounds like jazz.
Speaker 1: If you listen to it, you're like, yeah.
Speaker 3: This is it is.
Speaker 5: I think I think jazz is so punk. I think
Speaker 5: I think jazz is exactly like it's the same thing.
Speaker 5: I work with artists a ton and it's like, oh no,
Speaker 5: Like my post got twenty six likes. It's like, it's
Speaker 5: not about that. You could you can make art and
Speaker 5: never put it out and you're still an artist. I
Speaker 5: think it's so punk. I think it's funny. I think
Speaker 5: you can take it super serious. I think you can
Speaker 5: make it a fucking ship show and laugh at yourself.
Speaker 5: And I think that's what's so fun about it. I'm
Speaker 5: on so much cocaine.
Speaker 1: Your natural cocaine. Naturally you have that energy.
Speaker 4: To hear this.
Speaker 2: I encourage everyone to go just google the Mighty Boosh
Speaker 2: Jazz and there is that. There is like a moment
Speaker 2: from the Mighty Boosh Show, which was a show that
Speaker 2: happened and I don't know too early two thousands in
Speaker 2: the UK, and it is. It is one of the
Speaker 2: best clips about just like you fear jazz, you don't
Speaker 2: understand jazz.
Speaker 1: That's so good. I'll give it to me. I'll do one.
Speaker 1: I love doing this podcast. Eric Barbie sent this in.

Speaker 1: ever meeting using ventilation duc Oh yes.
Speaker 4: Sir, absolute fucking lutely.
Speaker 5: And I'm so glad because I have no questions, Like
Speaker 5: from someone who's watched every like sixty days in like
Speaker 5: all these like prison documentaries. I'm like, I'm surprised this
Speaker 5: hasn't happened before. I think everybody who's surprised as a loser.
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 5: I think these are the smartest people who just so
Speaker 5: happen to get caught. So let what what do you
Speaker 5: think they'll name the kidded dud.
Speaker 1: Don't yeh?
Speaker 4: Commas Commas middle Yeah that's right.
Speaker 1: Cott is so funny. Cot Yeah.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: Two Miami date inmates achieved the impossible deed of conceiving
Speaker 1: a child without ever meeting each other. After after delivering
Speaker 1: their baby child, a girl, in June, the parents are
Speaker 1: explaining how they were able to get pregnant from behind
Speaker 1: the bars of the Turner Guildford Night Correctional Center. I
Speaker 1: love it.
Speaker 2: I just imagine the meeting for the first time after
Speaker 2: be like right before the baby is born, and then
Speaker 2: the and then the mother is just like oh no,
Speaker 2: and the father like one arm is six feet long
Speaker 2: and the other ones two feet long.
Speaker 4: He's like, I'm sorry, I never mentioned this thick knack.
Speaker 1: According to according to Miami Fox affiliate w s v
Speaker 1: N seven, child's mother is Daisy Link. Cool name.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, she is d Link.
Speaker 1: D Link is twenty nine. And the father is it
Speaker 1: is it's Joan Depause, but I guess it's probably Johann
Speaker 1: Depause or.
Speaker 4: Like Johann deposited.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that's good. Who is going to be
Speaker 1: a great name? Uh trage. Link was charged with second
Speaker 1: degree murder after killing her boyfriend in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2: I thought, because of the impregnation, we don't know what happened.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because she's killing in prison right now. After allegedly
Speaker 1: shooting her boyfriend in the leg, she yelled, you'll be fine,
Speaker 1: So this is good. Glad she's breaking somebody into the world. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: Depause is charged with first degree murder and is now
Speaker 1: being held at the MetroWest Attention. Link claims her daughter
Speaker 1: was pro created by Depause putting a semen in Saran wrap.
Speaker 1: That's a good plug for that.
Speaker 2: Also notice this. Notice this. When they say the woman
Speaker 2: has second degree murder, they have to explain it because
Speaker 2: they're like, how did this woman murder someone? And then
Speaker 2: when they explain that the man did a worse murder,
Speaker 2: a first degree murder, there's just no explanation.
Speaker 1: It's like, of course he did. Yeah, yeah he was.
Speaker 4: He was a man, and now he's in jail. That's
Speaker 4: that's that's the pipeline.
Speaker 1: No, So, yeah, Depause put a semen in soran rap again,
Speaker 1: brand deal. I'm thinking sponsorship. Yeah, Saran's a cool name
Speaker 1: for a kid, Saran de Pause. That's a that's a
Speaker 1: pretty cool name. Passing it through the ventilation units and link,
Speaker 1: inserting the sperm through a yeast infection applicator. Okay, there
Speaker 1: it is. Look at that.
Speaker 2: That's pretty that's surprising that whatever chemicals are in the
Speaker 2: yeast yeast infect medicine didn't hurt the sperm.
Speaker 4: Admiral girl, it ain't looking for that. I know how
Speaker 4: medicine works. It ain't look for this.
Speaker 5: As a as a chemist and a doctor, I think
Speaker 5: that it wasn't looking for that. It was just like,
Speaker 5: hey girl, you go to the same spot.
Speaker 1: All right, you know, like it was Doorman.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like, I'll take you. I know where
Speaker 4: we're going.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, she's a miracle baby, She's a blessing. Link said
Speaker 1: about the virgin baby. U excuse me about the virgin Mary. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was, well, the baby's probably a virgin too. When
Speaker 1: it was crazy never having met Link, yeah, I would
Speaker 1: say so. Link revealed that she began conversing with Depaz
Speaker 1: through the neighboring ace events in their cells, classic stuff.
Speaker 2: How are and women like in the same building in
Speaker 2: this place, Kirk and find out.
Speaker 1: I don't know, being an isolation for so long, being
Speaker 1: an isolation for so long. He begin to spend hours
Speaker 1: and hours talking to this person, and you know, to
Speaker 1: the point where it's almas as if they're in the
Speaker 1: same room with you. This seems like a nightmare to me.
Speaker 1: It's like you'd have to put a pillow over it
Speaker 1: to be like, Okay, I'm going to go over to
Speaker 1: the other side. Yeah, stop talking.
Speaker 4: Yeah, how do you put yourself on? Do not disturb
Speaker 4: what's going on?
Speaker 2: You just don't answer no notifications.
Speaker 1: Please without having laid eyes on each other. Ever, the
Speaker 1: two began dating, and Depause shared his desires of having
Speaker 1: a child. I always wanted to have a baby, and
Speaker 1: I'm not going to get to do that for a
Speaker 1: really long time, he said.
Speaker 2: So I always hear somebody the best environment would be
Speaker 2: a medium class prison.
Speaker 5: Right here and right now, race all half. I think
Speaker 5: she's going to be a great mom. The way she
Speaker 5: handled that, get it, the shooting the guy, just being like,
Speaker 5: you'll be fine. She's going to say that to the
Speaker 5: kid all the time. You'll be fine, You'll be fair.
Speaker 5: You're gonna be fae.
Speaker 1: Real, walk it off, rubbed some dirt on it type
Speaker 1: of mom. Through email exchanges.
Speaker 4: Over the last Year's gonna snapchat it.
Speaker 1: So if I had to choose somebody, you know, it
Speaker 1: would be with you, And she was like, yeah, we
Speaker 1: could do that. See, they're just it's about communication. Relationships
Speaker 1: are always about communication. You gotta be on the same page, y'all.
Speaker 1: Depaz added that he put the semen in suran wrap
Speaker 1: like every day five times a day for a month straight.
Speaker 2: Five times a day. You gotta do I mean, yeah,
Speaker 2: for two months straight.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Twenty four hours, guys, twenty four hours in between your
Speaker 2: your saran wraps. Okay, that's how long it takes to
Speaker 2: get a full load.
Speaker 1: It was pulled through the L shaped vent using bedding material.
Speaker 1: Pretty interesting. So he was putting little paid baggies of
Speaker 1: dental dams and he's doing is you know, he's really
Speaker 1: going for it. He's pulling for the whole team, and
Speaker 1: then putting it on some sort of ripped sheet or mattress,
Speaker 1: and then she's dragging it around a corner.
Speaker 5: This.
Speaker 4: This is how much event has seen.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: Of course they didn't get their law degrees. You know
Speaker 1: who would do that in prison? Who has the time?
Speaker 1: Not these two.
Speaker 5: This guy with the lot degree takes for years. Baby
Speaker 5: nine months, eight and a half. I understand it. I
Speaker 5: think it's a great hobby.
Speaker 1: I think Kevin Kardashian like seven years to get her
Speaker 1: law degree, so you know exactly, we don't have that time.
Speaker 4: Give me a baby for eighteen you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 4: and then fuck off. I love it for them.
Speaker 5: I think true love is real and out there. I
Speaker 5: think that most women would prefer to never see the
Speaker 5: man and just keep the babies. So good, good for her,
Speaker 5: you know, I just.
Speaker 1: Heard ninety thousand women nod at their iPhone as soon
Speaker 1: as you said that. After Link administered the Seman application,
Speaker 1: it was. It took a few tries, shockingly before she
Speaker 1: came pregnant. I was very excited. I was ecstatic about it.
Speaker 1: Links hid. The infant was born at Jackson Memorial Hospital,
Speaker 1: and the parents check in with her through phone calls
Speaker 1: and video visits. Depasa's mother is now raising the baby girl. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: all right. While the birth was miraculous for the parents,
Speaker 1: officials are reportedly conducting and ongoing internal affairs investigation at
Speaker 1: Miami Dade Corrections. Well, I bet they are.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're just flashing the flashlight in between the event
Speaker 5: back and forth for like three hours a day.
Speaker 4: I mean, be for real.
Speaker 5: And I like the fact that it took a few tries,
Speaker 5: like she really made it real, Like she missed the
Speaker 5: whole the first time, and then she was like, now
Speaker 5: you got it. You know, she really made it an
Speaker 5: experience for herself. I'm I'm happy as how I think
Speaker 5: this kid has a family and a future and a
Speaker 5: really good book deal coming up.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you need a manager for this baby too.
Speaker 1: We gotta root for this baby.
Speaker 2: You gotta root for the baby. You can't really root
Speaker 2: for any other human being in this story. But also
Speaker 2: debate as well.
Speaker 4: I think that Wilita is a real exactly exactly so good.
Speaker 2: For imagine that though, you're just like, Okay, finally I
Speaker 2: raised a child. You know I did, I did my
Speaker 2: job great, and now, oh surprise, here you go.
Speaker 1: You did it so well.
Speaker 4: Here it is again.
Speaker 5: You know, like you're paying the perfection tax. When you
Speaker 5: did it so fucking well, you just gotta do it again.
Speaker 5: I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 1: Also, you gotta you gotta shout out the mom Daisy
Speaker 1: for going to the hospital, the correctional facility nurse so
Speaker 1: many times, going got another yeast infection going on, and
Speaker 1: like how is this possible? She's like, what's gonna need
Speaker 1: another one of those houst infection kids.
Speaker 4: Dalink is a real one.
Speaker 5: Dalink dealing forever whatever whatever she's doing. Put her po
Speaker 5: box in her in her in her description, because we're.
Speaker 1: Hitting around forever.

Speaker 4: for your girl Dalink like.
Speaker 1: Is romantic. Yes, that they chatted so much through the
Speaker 1: HVAC system that they that they just knew each other.
Speaker 1: That there is something. This feels like a movie that
Speaker 1: if you saw a black and white version of this
Speaker 1: from the nineteen fifties, you'd be like, Wow, this is
Speaker 1: a crazy story. This is a classic. It's just weird
Speaker 1: now that you're like, yeah, they're both murderers and uh,
Speaker 1: saran rap was involved. But the falling in love through
Speaker 1: the vents. Yes, it it's like a John Chiever short
Speaker 1: story or something. Or it just feels like an American story.
Speaker 4: That's what I was gonna say, the American dream, Like
Speaker 4: this is this is why we're here.

Speaker 2: of your podcast is coming out soon.
Speaker 4: It's coming out soon, and I mean this.
Speaker 5: This podcast came out the year of the fiftieth anniversary
Speaker 5: of hip hop. That's how I was celebrating it.
Speaker 1: Fall up.
Speaker 5: He was my favorite brand, lol, and I love hip hop.
Speaker 5: Hip Hop is just such a big part of just
Speaker 5: my music taste and everything I do now. And so
Speaker 5: I was like, what a way to just bring journalism
Speaker 5: and broadcast and everything together and just tell the story
Speaker 5: of the ways that they interact, which is a lot.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 5: The lead singer Patrick produced for Loupei Fiasco. They've worked
Speaker 5: with Kanye, They've worked with Jay Z, they toured with
Speaker 5: fifty Cent, they toured Withis Khalifa. They just brought out
Speaker 5: with Was Khalifa at When We Were Young in Vegas
Speaker 5: last year. They have a whole album full of remixes
Speaker 5: with like original verses from some of the biggest rappers,
Speaker 5: from like Migos to like Zatoven the producer and everything
Speaker 5: in between.
Speaker 4: So that was my love letter.
Speaker 5: And the season one goes chronologically, I mean, the whole
Speaker 5: show is chronological, so you'll start at the very beginning
Speaker 5: of their career and we go year by year, topic
Speaker 5: by topic, and right now we're right in two thousand
Speaker 5: and nine where unfortunately they had hiatus and they broke up,
Speaker 5: so I'm also taking a little break. But this hiatus
Speaker 5: is great because this hiatus allowed them to really try
Speaker 5: out new sounds, and they grew up so much while
Speaker 5: they were in the band that when they did get
Speaker 5: back together, it's it's what made Fallout Boy today what
Speaker 5: it is. So we're gonna start crawling into the hiatus
Speaker 5: and how it's shaped what it is. And it really
Speaker 5: isn't just about hip hop. It's a love letter to
Speaker 5: black music, to black art, to the way that black
Speaker 5: you know, culture influences everything we love, even the things
Speaker 5: that we don't think it does. So it's again a
Speaker 5: love letter to just like black art and black fans
Speaker 5: and you know, people of color who are in the
Speaker 5: scene who might not always feel seen, but it's it's.
Speaker 2: For them, so go check it out. Check it out Fallout.

Speaker 2: they're just like uh huh, uh huh. What was the
Speaker 2: do you remember the Bruce Springsteen joke?
Speaker 1: It was it was you complimenting Bruce being back.
Speaker 4: It was you saying, uh, Bruce is back, white guy.

Speaker 2: show you, and then they would ask you question after
Speaker 2: question after question after each thing. So like you, it
Speaker 2: would be like two two and a half hours, three
Speaker 2: hours under these lights of just like be funny, be funny,
Speaker 2: be funny, and then they would take like two things.
Speaker 4: God do I do that alone? I would have really
Speaker 4: five hundred bucks, no.
Speaker 1: Residuals, five hundred dollars and then over nine thousand times.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, damn, you got ripped off. They want people
Speaker 1: to sing along. They want the comedians or the talking
Speaker 1: heads to be like when it says dance dance, they
Speaker 1: want them to go like dance dance and they just
Speaker 1: wiggle and that's all they want. And they're like, god
Speaker 1: it you think those people are making five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: No residuals. Damn. No wonder that network went under anyways.
Speaker 4: Could have been zero in a panic at the disc song.
Speaker 2: So here it does. Extinct bird re evolved itself back
Speaker 2: into existence.
Speaker 1: This is just fun.
Speaker 2: This is just fun. This was sent in by Parker Emri.
Speaker 2: Thanks Parker, Parker.
Speaker 1: Thank you for Parker or I'm Ri.
Speaker 2: I don't know, Imory, I'm right.
Speaker 1: Cool name.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, but it is a great nice name.
Speaker 2: This isn't US news, the.
Speaker 4: Very US news.
Speaker 2: This is by Alexa Ladieri.
Speaker 4: Oh, thank you.
Speaker 1: Alexa. Really good at typing about birds. She's the best
Speaker 1: in the business. Uh.
Speaker 2: Once the bird okay, this is the subhead. Once the
Speaker 2: bird became extinct. It took twenty thousand years for it
Speaker 2: to return and evolve into a flightless bird.
Speaker 3: Again.
Speaker 2: That's the funniest part that it evolved into a bird
Speaker 2: that cannot fly, the one thing that makes birds birds.
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, it's still fails at it. I love
Speaker 2: it and it is a funny looking bird. A once
Speaker 2: a stick bird species re evolved itself into existence and
Speaker 2: returned to the islands it once colonized thousands of years ago.
Speaker 2: The al Aldabra Rail, named after the Aldabra atoll it
Speaker 2: inhabits in the is that how you say that, shells
Speaker 2: say shells shells, is the last surviving native flightless bird
Speaker 2: in the Indian Ocean region. It does a descendant of
Speaker 2: a flying white throated rail that is believed to have
Speaker 2: lost its ability to fly because the lack of predators
Speaker 2: made it unnecessary. I love that fossils of the Aldabra
Speaker 2: Rail have been discovered dating back one hundred and thirty
Speaker 2: six thousand years, but the island has since been submerged
Speaker 2: by the ocean, wiping out almost the ocean.
Speaker 1: Sorry, it takes it back.
Speaker 2: Aldabra went under the sea, and everything takes Julie Huge,
Speaker 2: a palaeontologist and author of the study, said in a
Speaker 2: press release from the Natural History Museum in London. There
Speaker 2: was an almost complete turnover in the fauna. Everything went extinct.
Speaker 2: Yet as the al Rail still lives on today, something
Speaker 2: must have happened for it to have returned. Newer fossils
Speaker 2: showed the Aldabra Rail was heavier than its ancestor, indicating
Speaker 2: that the bird had lost its ability to fly for
Speaker 2: a second time. Once the bird became extinct after the flood.
Speaker 2: It only took twenty thousand years for the white throat
Speaker 2: to rail to return and evolve. Okay, so I get it.
Speaker 1: So it's a bird.
Speaker 2: It's a bird that flies around the white throated rail
Speaker 2: lands on this island, finds that it's great, stays, doesn't
Speaker 2: have any predators, and then just stops flying altogether. So
Speaker 2: they become Americanized.
Speaker 4: They become Walllyes. So my so what my theory here?
Speaker 4: Hear me out?
Speaker 5: Are you about to take a huge trip here? Okay,
Speaker 5: so they went from air. They don't need air. The
Speaker 5: island part that they're walking around is just one step
Speaker 5: further because they will start swimming because the water is
Speaker 5: coming in. They're going deeper, they're getting heavier. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 5: this is an educational podcast.
Speaker 2: They're gonna become whales. Yes, they're going to become evolution works.
Speaker 4: Yes, Mark my words.
Speaker 5: Play this back in two thousand years when they when
Speaker 5: they come back and they're swimming at you.
Speaker 4: That's that's what's next.
Speaker 2: I would love it if this became like a penguin bird.
Speaker 2: There is no case that I can find of this
Speaker 2: happening where you have a record of the same species
Speaker 2: of bird becoming flightless twice. It is kind of interesting.
Speaker 2: It kind of proves evolution exists right in just this
Speaker 2: like case real so weird when well, that's what I
Speaker 2: always hate about people like who are There's like certain
Speaker 2: science and Instagram accounts that I file that are always
Speaker 2: like they talk down to like like these idiot creationists
Speaker 2: who believe that God created the world in seventies. You
Speaker 2: know how dumb that is.
Speaker 1: This is how it happened.
Speaker 2: But then when you listen to like what actually happened,
Speaker 2: it's just as looney tune if it's crazy, if not more,
Speaker 2: it's just like, oh, an elephant went swimming a lot
Speaker 2: and now it's a blue whale. You know, it's just like,
Speaker 2: what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: It's so crazy. Yeah, And the people that get really
Speaker 1: mad about like being like I'm not a monkey, I'm
Speaker 1: not an ape, I'm not descended from them. You're like,
Speaker 1: it's just the opposite way, like an ape.
Speaker 5: Right now when they're saying it, they're like flinging shit
Speaker 5: and like their hands are in the air.
Speaker 4: It's really weird.
Speaker 1: Part of their body.
Speaker 4: It really weird.
Speaker 1: They just regret like apes. The number one most common
Speaker 1: bird in the United States. Do you guys know.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm gonna guess.
Speaker 1: I think I know.
Speaker 2: Is it a swallow?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: But is it a house finch?
Speaker 1: House finch?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: God damn it. What is it? It's the American robin
Speaker 1: is actually the most it's three hundred and seventy million.
Speaker 1: But there's this one called a junko and in a
Speaker 1: lot of states the j u nco.
Speaker 4: Like.
Speaker 1: I looked up California and it's the junko and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I've literally never heard junko. I've heard Jenkos, but I've
Speaker 1: never heard of the dark eyed junko. Two hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty million junkos flying around and nobody's talking.
Speaker 4: About because birds aren't real. Oh no, hot take at
Speaker 4: the edge. I'm sorry.
Speaker 5: I mean, I just think I just think it's really
Speaker 5: weird that we haven't seen them and that every household
Speaker 5: doesn't have them.
Speaker 4: If there's so many, I believe in signs and birds,
Speaker 4: you guys. That was just my hot take for that.
Speaker 5: In Philly, they're not real. They're not real. They're taking
Speaker 5: your money. It's it's not true.
Speaker 2: I would not put it past Philly pigeons to pickpocket people.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm a Philly pigeon.
Speaker 2: So many peas in that sentence. There was a lot
Speaker 2: of peas. That was all alliteration.
Speaker 1: It's a good vocal warm up for the podcast.
Speaker 2: It really is. My goodness, we're already at the end, Scotty,
Speaker 2: can you just tease us.
Speaker 1: A judge mocks drug dealer for not being very good
