Speaker 3: for them. I love it.

65
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's all about the Cult of America. I mean

66
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 5: we were we were founded by a cult. The Puritans

67
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 5: were high controlled doomsday group, and all their like wacky

68
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 5: ideas about the end of the world didn't go away.

69
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 5: They just became the foundation of American culture. So we're

70
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 5: all indoctrinated in ways we don't recognize. It's very true.

71
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh wow, So is it?

72
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 3: Like so like the first chapter is about the Mayflower people. Yeah, okay, great,

73
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 3: and then what other cults do you get into?

74
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 5: Well, so each chapter opens with a case study of

75
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 5: a group in history, and then like I highlight one

76
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 5: bit of cult like thinking and trace it through American

77
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 5: history from the Puritans up to today.

78
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 4: Oh cool.

79
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I tried to focus on lesser known groups

80
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 5: just because you know. So one of my favorites is

81
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 5: was this group called Mankind United in the forties, and.

82
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: It was this is a great and it sounds so fun.

83
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: Like if you were like, do you want to join

84
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: Mankind United, I'd actually know.

85
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 4: It just sounds like a soccer team.

86
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 3: I'm rooting for Mankind United at the match today and we.

87
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:48,559
Speaker 5: Sell for Yeah. It was it didn't start as a cult,

88
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 5: but but it was a thing you had to join.

89
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 5: It was a big scam. Ultimately, it was like a

90
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 5: conspiracy theory scam. But they this guy argued that there

91
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 5: was a secret group of hidden rulers who wanted to

92
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 5: exterminate or enslave all of humanity. Oh good, yeah, uh

93
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 5: huh that sounds familiar though, right.

94
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: Yeah.

95
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,239
Speaker 5: But then but but like you know, don't despair, because

96
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 5: there's also a secret group of white hat people called

97
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 5: the Sponsors. And you can we can unite as Mankind

98
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 5: and fight the bad guys if you give me all

99
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 5: your money.

100
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: Essentially, yeah, okay, now you're turning me on it. Now

101
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: you're interested.

102
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 5: I could tell you, Yeah, some stuff I could.

103
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: Sell you do.

104
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 3: All of them break down with like shadow, shadow organization

105
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 3: that we're fighting against, and you have to be on

106
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 3: the side of good.

107
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 5: I mean every conspiracy theory, yeah for sure, which is

108
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 5: just and this is something I researched and write about.

109
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 5: But that's just the story of the Antichrist. Sure, uh huh,

110
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 5: just over and over and over again and painted in

111
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 5: a different way so people don't think. People don't see

112
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 5: the like radical Christianity in it, but it's very much

113
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 5: what it is. Like.

114
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 3: So all of them are just like there is a

115
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 3: Satan out there. It has different names. Maybe it's called

116
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 3: you know, maybe they're lizard people, maybe they're the Maybe

117
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 3: there it's it's the uh, it's the people who meet

118
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 3: at that thing where they burn an owl in San

119
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 3: Francisco every year. You know, Like what are those people called?

120
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 3: The people who don't know the owl?

121
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 4: The big owl?

122
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 5: Were you there?

123
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: Idea?

124
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 4: But you guys don't know what I'm talking about.

125
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: No, you got to look up Burning Owl cult. But

126
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: I would be into that. I think that sounds fun too.

127
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 3: Sure, it's a bunch of billionaires who all get together.

128
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 3: Billionaires get together, the grown the yeah something grove.

129
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: Oh, bohemian grove. Yes, bohemian growth.

130
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 5: One of the funniest things about this project to me

131
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 5: is that people keep coming to me to talk about cults,

132
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 5: because that's I've been like researching this for five years. Yeah,

133
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 5: and they're always like, and you know about this with

134
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,119
Speaker 5: such and such, and more often than not, I don't

135
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 5: just because there are so many Yeah, it's insane.

136
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 4: Do you get into Amway at all?

137
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: I do.

138
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 5: I think big chapter on Amway because.

139
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 3: I so my dad and my a lot of my

140
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 3: family is from Grand Rapids where Amway they have like

141
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 3: the spaceship Mother Building right in Ada, Michigan, which is

142
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 3: right outside of Grand Rapids, and it was legitimately like

143
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 3: at the end of my dad's street. So I would

144
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 3: just drive by it all the time. It's this big

145
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 3: circular like it looks like a spaceship and it's just

146
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 3: like sitting there and everyone they knew sold Amway and

147
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 3: was like involved in that cold.

148
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 5: Yeah.

149
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 3: I So.

150
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 5: The the main thrust of that chapter is that the

151
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 5: reason Amway is not illegal is because I mean, there's

152
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 5: a lot of specific examples like government collusion, you know

153
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 5: what I mean. But the main reason is because it's

154
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 5: not that different from modern American capitalism. Like modern I

155
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 5: believe and argue that capitalism today in America is an MLM, right, or.

156
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 3: Because it doesn't seem to work for anybody but the

157
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 3: people at the.

158
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 5: Top bingo banngo. Yeah. And in fact, Kurt, I think

159
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 5: you may have may have forgotten this. But at the

160
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 5: end of that chapter, I quote one of your jokes, what.

161
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: You Do, which you found about ideating on ice cubes

162
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: and a journal.

163
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 3: Yep, that's right.

164
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 5: I love that joke because the billionaires are the ice

165
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 5: cubes and we're all peeing on them, or at least

166
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 5: that's my dream.

167
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

168
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 5: No, I quote, Shoot, I forget the name of the track,

169
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 5: but it's off perfectly stupid. And I was recording my

170
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 5: audio book last week and said in the In the

171
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 5: recording of the audiobook, guy interjected to say, and Kurt,

172
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 5: I'm so sorry to be reciting one of your jokes,

173
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 5: because comics hate that more than anything.

174
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: No, I don't really this guy, No, he loves it

175
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: once it's out there, once he's burned that material, bring

176
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: it back to life. As many times this poor guy

177
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: gets not credited with the how do I land skywriting it,

178
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: it pops up, it goes viral every six months, and

179
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,599
Speaker 1: they rarely credit Kurt and think his fans that go,

180
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: that was Kurk Brown, Older, that was Kurk Brown. Yes,

181
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: it still makes me happy every single time time.

182
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 3: I still think accounts it's the craziest thing where it's

183
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 3: like if you run a meme account and you just

184
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 3: benefit off of other people's labor. If someone comments, just

185
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 3: put just at the person who did this and gives

186
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 3: you they're at like just I don't understand why they

187
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 3: can't simply do it, edit their posts and say like

188
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 3: this was done by this person.

189
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 4: I don't understand it.

190
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 3: Because that's all they do is steal, steal steel.

191
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 4: And make money. And they make money anyway the.

192
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 5: Pretend because with they admit they're stealing, then it's.

193
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 3: Stealing, right Yeah, and back to the things, and that's.

194
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 5: Just exactly what we've been talking about with MLM and

195
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 5: the government. And you're peeing on ice cubes joke for those.

196
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: That such an old joke. Know, if it's on any album,

197
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: it is no.

198
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 5: I think for my next book, I'm just gonna quote

199
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 5: Kurt's old material.

200
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 4: For those of you who are like, well, what's the joke.

201
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 3: Here's the quick version of the joke is uh is

202
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 3: like I love I would be like I love it

203
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 3: when bars put ice in their urinals.

204
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 4: And if people don't know this, sometimes bars have ice

205
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 4: in the urinals.

206
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 3: And I love that because then I can pretend that

207
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 3: my penis is a giant laser and I'm destroying igloos

208
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 3: from outer space.

209
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I loved when you said that joke. It's great. Also,

210
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: I was working in a restaurant at that time, and

211
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: on Friday and Saturday nights we would dump a bucket

212
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: of ice and all the urinals to use less. And

213
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: it is a true joy. It is a true joy.

214
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm jealous.

215
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: But so the Puritans there are a bunch of whimps, right,

216
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: Like the whole idea was the Puritans were like, we

217
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: gotta leave England because everybody's becoming too Catholic. And then

218
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: they get on wooden boats and just flee. Like to

219
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: me that all the Puritans were just not cool enough

220
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: or savvy enough to like flip it over in England,

221
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: so they just ran as far away as they could.

222
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 4: That's a lot of it.

223
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 5: They were like the losers who didn't get invited to

224
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 5: the party. Yeah, well we're gonna throw our own party

225
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 5: and God's gonna be there.

226
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's gonna be a party where nobody has

227
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 3: sex and nobody drinks.

228
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 4: It's the coolest party you've ever been to.

229
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 5: We're gonna we're gonna be up all night, no dancing. Oh.

230
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 3: I really didn't realize how much that Puritan thing affected

231
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 3: being American until I dated it an Australian and she

232
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 3: and she keet being like, look, we never had the Puritans,

233
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 3: so I don't give a shit about that, Like, you know,

234
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 3: like it's just so much freer. Sex is more free.

235
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 3: It's like they're very it's much less of a shame

236
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 3: based culture.

237
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's and it's it is, it's all just

238
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 4: based on that.

239
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 3: That's crazy, which is like you think that you're immune

240
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 3: from history. Often, you know, you feel like, well, I exist,

241
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 3: you know, as an independent thinking thing, and then you're like, no, no, no,

242
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 3: I am definitively in a stream of an American identity.

243
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 3: Even if I if I don't love what America does,

244
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 3: I'm still the most American brains.

245
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 4: Yeah.

246
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 5: Worse, it's so deep inside us that we can't see it.

247
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 5: It's it's like you know, fish that don't know water.

248
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's so culty like.

249
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 5: It's not just like people say Puritan. And that's I

250
00:12:54,679 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 5: guess the specific example of the the cult that were

251
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 5: it's a cult.

252
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: The Puritans were.

253
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 5: I mean they were a high control doomsday group. They were.

254
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,599
Speaker 5: It was all about power and control. The second and

255
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,599
Speaker 5: third generations of like kids who were born into it

256
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 5: were so messed up. The scholars who've poured through diary

257
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 5: entries there was like a huge uptick in depression, psychosis, suicide,

258
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 5: which is what always happens to kids born in cults.

259
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 5: I mean, there's so many examples. I could go on

260
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 5: and on, but we don't not only do we not

261
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 5: recognize our Puritan roots, but we don't recognize how incredibly

262
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 5: screwed up they were as a group.

263
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: This is great.

264
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 4: I'm exciting.

265
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 1: I'm very excited. No, I'm pumped. But let's shift gears

266
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: in the most dramatic way possible.

267
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 3: Kurt, Yeah, from Colts too, Wallabies.

268
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 4: You know what, I had a lead in.

269
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 3: I had a lead in because I dated an Australian.

270
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 3: This takes place in Tasmania.

271
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: Here, it is it's a.

272
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 4: It's a delightful dumb one. This was sent in by

277
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 3: dot com. This was in NBC News.

278
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 4: That's real yeah, and it was written by the Associated Press.

279
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 4: Nobody wanted today.

280
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 3: The Associated Press really does it like individualism. It's just

281
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 3: always just the press here. It is high as a kite.

282
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 3: Wallaby's blamed for crop circles. Okay, Wallaby's snacking in Tasmania's

283
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 3: legally grown opium poppy fields are getting high as a

284
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 3: kite and hopping around in circles, trampling the crops, the

285
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 3: state officials said. Tasmania Attorney General Laura Gettings told a

286
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 3: budget hearing Wednesday that she recently read about the kangaroo

287
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 3: like marsupials, antics and a brief on the state's large

288
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 3: poppy industry. Tasmania is the world's largest producer of legally

289
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 3: grown opium for the pharmaceutical market.

290
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 4: Did anybody know that?

291
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: No other than me?

292
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 3: Also in Case podcast, it's an educational podcast. In Case

293
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 3: you're wondering what a wallaby is. It looks exactly like

294
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 3: a kangaroo, except it's about like two feet tall as

295
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 3: opposed to a kangaroo, which is like the size of

296
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 3: a deer.

297
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 5: It's a less threatening kangaroo.

298
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 4: It's a less threatening, a more adorable kangaroo.

299
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: Like Roco's Modern Life. Everybody loved that cartoon at some point.

300
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, that's a wallaby.

301
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: He's a wallaby.

302
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 4: Roco the wallaby quote.

303
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 3: We have a problem with wallaby's entering poppy fields, getting

304
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 3: as high as a kite and going around in circles.

305
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 3: The Mercury newspapers quoted Gettings as telling the hearing then

306
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 3: they crash. We see crop circles in the poppy industry

307
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 3: from wallabies that are high.

308
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 4: She just summed up her statement.

309
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 3: I love it.

310
00:15:58,360 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 4: Calls to Getting's office.

311
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 3: We're not a mediately returned Thursday, and the Associated Press

312
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 3: was unable to obtain a copy of the brief. She

313
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 3: cited a manager for one of two Tasmanian companies licensed

314
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 3: to take medicinal products from poppy. Straw told the newspaper

315
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 3: that wildlife and livestock, including deer and sheep, that eat

316
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 3: the poppies are known to quote act weird.

317
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're high on heroin.

318
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, a little weird.

319
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 3: There have been many stories about sheep that have eaten

320
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 3: some of the poppies after harvesting, and they all walk

321
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 3: around in circles.

322
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 4: They all walk around in circles.

323
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

324
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 3: Tasmanian Alkaloids Field Operations manager Rick Rockliff said.

325
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: Ooh, Rick rocklift cool.

326
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 4: That's a good named, A good I am, Rick Rockliff.

327
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 3: Others in the local poppy industry could not be reached

328
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 3: for comment. Yeah, Tasmania supplies about fifty percent of the

329
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 3: world's raw material for morphine and related opiates. And it

330
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 3: is crazy because it's like right when you we took

331
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 3: I went to Tasmania once I worked there. I taught

332
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 3: improv for two weeks and uh, right when you we

333
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 3: took the bus or not the bus, the boat, the

334
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 3: water bus, the boat. We took a boat from Melbourne bus. Uh,

335
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 3: and it's like overnight and it's delightful. It's like nine

336
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 3: homers or something. But then you land and you you

337
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 3: you can put your car on the on the boat

338
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 3: and then you just start driving and you immediately just

339
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 3: drive through I don't know, like in a full hour

340
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 3: of nothing.

341
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 4: But poppy fields, it's just goes on forever.

342
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 3: Uh, And it's really really crazy, and it's like super

343
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 3: high security because obviously people can make caroin out of it.

344
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 5: But yeah, wait when you taught your workshop where the

345
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 5: students all walking in circles, yeah.

346
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 4: They were, Well, I was giving them heroin too.

347
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 1: That was how we did quote the funniest drugs makes

348
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: everybody so fun and high energy and great.

349
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 5: I don't think anything makes me happier than stories about

350
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 5: animals doing drugs.

351
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: I know same, especially if they just walk in circles,

352
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: pass out, and then they're fine. We've done a few

353
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: stories about that, and I think the strangest thing is

354
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: repeatedly animals have the same addiction rates as humans. Like

355
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: the monkeys are steal drinks, it's the same percentage that

356
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: love it and become alcoholics, that drink it occasionally and

357
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: then drink it once and hate it, And same with

358
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: drugs with a lot of mammals. They like, some keep

359
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: going back for more, some do it once and don't

360
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: leg it all, and then some are like, eh, it's Thursday,

361
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: I'll do some heroin. It's weird. It's very similar.

362
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 4: So Jane, you've known me for a very long time.

363
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 5: It's just true.

364
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 3: My god, probably since like nineteen ninety nine or something,

365
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 3: I think. So, so you remember my Australian girlfriend. Oh yeah,

366
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 3: So when we there, when we were in Tasmania, after

367
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 3: we finished teaching, we went to stay on like a

368
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 3: small in a small coastal town. And in Tasmania, a

369
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 3: small coastal town means it's very small. And this like

370
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 3: place was essentially in the middle of nowhere, and in

371
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 3: town there was one pharmacy and that was it, and

372
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 3: it was a one room pharmacy. It just stood by

373
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 3: itself on like a lonely road and anything you needed

374
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 3: you had to go to this one place. And so

375
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 3: we were like, we needed condoms, and so we go

376
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 3: in and it's like, you know, normally buying condoms at

377
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 3: a pharmacy, it's like slightly embarrassing, but when it's the

378
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 3: when it's like a six foot by six foot square

379
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 3: room and it's just one fourteen year old girl working

380
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 3: behind the counter and then you have to like come

381
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 3: up with your the two of us come up with

382
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 3: our condoms and that's it. Just buying condoms and it's

383
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 3: just like yeah, slightly awkward, you know, And then we

384
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 3: go back, and then the next day we returned.

385
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 4: Before a pregnancy kit.

386
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: Oh my good.

387
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 3: And then then we yeah, so then we bought the

388
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 3: one pregnancy kit again, same girl in the six foot

389
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 3: by six foot place, and then we leave, and then

390
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 3: the next day she had had a doctor's appointment the

391
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 3: next day and got a prescription, so then we show

392
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 3: up the very next day to pick up antidepressants. So

393
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 3: it looks like we were like worried about having a kid.

394
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 4: Oh no, had a kid, now are depressed about having

395
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 4: a kid.

396
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 3: And it was all just the same fourteen year old

397
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 3: girl like giving us all those different things. And it

398
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 3: just struck me like if you lived in that town,

399
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 3: everyone would know everything about you, even if you just

400
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 3: made one stop at the at the pharmacy that day.

401
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 5: It sounds like that's performance art.

402
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 3: It sounds like that was a night I know, for her,

403
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 3: specifically for her, and I didn't realize it until like

404
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 3: after we had bought the third thing that third day,

405
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 3: and I was like, this, definitely, this definitely seems strange

406
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 3: to this woman at this point, but.

407
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: That has to keep happening in that town. Like you

408
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: guys were just that couple. Those couples were coming in

409
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: if that was the only business in town selling that stuff,

410
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 1: they were probably very used to, like day after day

411
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: watching people's health and issues reveal themselves. Yeah, that person

412
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: could be the best novelists in Tasmania. Right now. We

413
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: just don't know.

414
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 4: We just do not know.

415
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 5: She probably blew her talent on opium.

416
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: M she's just walking around that pharmacy, just can't slow

417
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: down to grab the door, just circle after circle. Oh sorry,

418
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: go ahead, Jay, I was.

419
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 5: Just gonna say, curtain. Didn't you call it a pregnancy kit?

420
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 4: You old pregnancy kit? I mean, did see test?

421
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 5: That's how you're trying to get pregnant. Maybe shouldn't have

422
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 5: used the condoms the day before, the old kid.

423
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: It's got a little tin can full of a little tuna.

424
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: It's got a little wine glass, it's got a coal

425
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: miner's hat with a little lantern on the front. You

426
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: just gotta get in there see if she's preggers or not.

427
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 5: That's right, you need you need the tuna for energy.

428
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, when we were kids, pharmacists

429
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: were like I had friends whose parents were pharmacists, and

430
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: they were like my richest friends pharmacies. I think had

431
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: really are The job of being a pharmacist in the

432
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: United States has really come down talk about like capitalism

433
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: being a cult. But I remember like one friend who's

434
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: had the biggest house when she would have birthday parties,

435
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: she had a tennis court, she had a pool. The

436
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: neighbors had statues, like like Roman and Greek looking statues

437
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: in their backyards, and I used to always be like,

438
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: why would you want statues in your backyard? To me,

439
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: was so horror Fine, it's like, let's put the scariest

440
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: thing we can bright white statues of nameless people in

441
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 1: the backyard facing each other in the house. But now

442
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: it feels like pharmacists or I don't know, maybe the internet.

443
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: Maybe the Internet was a mistake. Maybe you're taken that

444
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 1: job way too.

445
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 3: I do know why they were in the backyard, Scottie, Oh,

446
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 3: because on my block there's a house that has them

447
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:30,959
Speaker 3: in the front yard, and that's far more upseting. Just concrete,

448
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 3: white concrete replicas of like a discus thrower that stands

449
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 3: seven feet tall just in someone's front yard is the

450
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 3: fucking crazy.

451
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 5: It's creepy. There's something it's like a little it's a

452
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 5: little get out. There's something a little get out about

453
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 5: that you know of have it? Yeah? Yeah, frozen humans

454
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 5: trapped forever on your lawn?

455
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: Yes, because then what would be inside the house if

456
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: they feel like that's totally okay outside of the house.

457
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: How dark does their waken mine become as soon as

458
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: you cross that threshold? Robably pretty dark.

459
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 4: And you grew up in the south, right, Jane.

460
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 5: I did. Yeah, I grew up in North Carolina. Not

461
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 5: a lot of uh, not a lot of yard sculpture.

462
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 5: So fountains, decorative fountains, yes, columns for sure.

463
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: Jeff a fake deer? Did you have some fake bears?

464
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 3: No?

465
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 5: I think that was considered ghosh, do.

466
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: You remember this was something we had where I grew up,

467
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: where they would it would be like a shiny ball,

468
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: a colored ball on like a bird feeder stand, but

469
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: then a shiny ball. I don't know what those called.

470
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 4: I I've seen a lot of them.

471
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 5: Do they attract birds? Disco birds?

472
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 4: I can't imagine, because it almost would be like upsetting.

473
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 1: To look so. Yeah, it's like a bass sort of

474
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 1: like a bird bath, only take the bath part away

475
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: and then put a soccer ball or basketball side shiny

476
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 1: Christmas ornament looking bulb on the top, and that's it, don't.

477
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 3: It's like it's like a mirror surface that's also like blue, red, green,

478
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 3: yellow is also inside there, God like shimmers in a weird.

479
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: Thank god, you know what I'm talking about, because it

480
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: seems like, no, it sounds sounds like you made it up.

481
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: Poppy fields. Yeah, it's like I chugged four Jolt colas

482
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: and just had to come up with something. But I

483
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 1: know what the name of that thing is. They must

484
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: be like wish makers or dream scatterers or had to

485
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: be something where you'd like, go look at it, like

486
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 1: you're just gazing into a crystal ball to see your

487
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: beautiful yard and your face that looks like a wallaby

488
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: in a in a round surface.

489
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 3: Oh my god, you guys, you know what it's called.

490
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 3: It's called it's called a gazing ball, the.

491
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: Old Grandma's gazing ball.

00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:09,360
Speaker 3: It's Trademark Innovations Gazing mirror ball, stainless steel and it's

498
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 3: just a giant ball and it like reflects the yard.

499
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 3: I think that's the idea. And it reflects the beauty

500
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 3: of your yard. It's so important to get a good

501
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 3: look at your yard. Not look directly at your yard,

502
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 3: just to gaze into a magenta or light blue orb.

503
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 5: And does it make your yard look bigger?

504
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: It does? Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

505
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 3: It's like a super wide angle lens. It's like your

506
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 3: yard is in a Beastie Boys video from that.

507
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,520

513
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: paper fort inside of a Walmart for days before returning home.

514
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 4: Oh yes, yes, good case too.

515
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 5: What innovator? I know, innovator? How does how is the

516
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 5: fort made? How do you make a ford out of

517
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 5: toilet paper?

518
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: Correctly?

519
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 3: Question?

520
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: You just build walls with the packaging, that's right. This

521
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 1: was in the Mirror USA Boo written by Rihanna Smith. Yay, yay,

522
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: best in the biz. The frantic search for a missing

523
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: Oklahoma team came to a baffling end when he revealed

524
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: he had been hiding out in a toilet paper fort

525
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: in a Walmart. Christopher Dunham, sixteen, was reported missing on

526
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: Sunday by his grandparents after he disappeared from their home

527
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: in Grove. I guess that's Grove, Oklahoma. Police had asked

528
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: for the public's assistance in finding him, but the case

529
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 1: took an unexpected turn Tuesday night when the teenager returned

530
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: after police officers had executed a search warrant on his

531
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: parents house. I think there's an alleged thing where the

532
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: grandparents were not the best people. Grove Police Chief Mark

533
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 1: Morris believes Christopher had been watching a police presence around

534
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 1: his home and that's why he stayed at the Walmart.

535
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 1: He when the last officer left, he attempted to sneak

536
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: back into the house. That's when his grandfather found him. Yeah.

537
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: Usually if you're in a house and somebody sneaks in,

538
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: you do find them there. And he took the team

539
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: to the Grove Police department to explain the officers where

540
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: he had been. Christopher said he had been camping in

541
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: Walmart for a few days, explaining that he'd wait until

542
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: after hours and then build a toilet paper fort over

543
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: a dog bed and slept in it. Wow, So he'd

544
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: grab one of those big old Walmart dog beds and

545
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: big olds, twenty four rolls of toilet paper and just

546
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: build a little, a little warm, little huts shoe.

547
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 3: I mean like, also he would wait until after hours?

548
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 3: Where is he waiting until after Like? How do you

549
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 3: wait out the people who close up a Walmart?

550
00:28:58,560 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 2: Right?

551
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 5: There's only so many old spin doctor CDs you can

552
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 5: flip through.

553
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: True, not enough, I'd say they they cut short in

554
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: their prime, but declining sales and lack of audience.

555
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 3: You know, I spin doctors and soup dragons.

556
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 4: I always get to those.

557
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: They were Australian. I think I'm sure they were divine.

558
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: Thing was their song? I have believe exactly.

559
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 3: Oh my god, your memory is It's insane.

560
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: This is the most bizarre case in my law enforcement career,

561
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: said Morris. Well, that just says a lot about Grove, Oklahoma.

562
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: This isn't that crazy. This is just a teenager kind

563
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: of running away and sleeping in a Walmart.

564
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 4: It's a typical teenage behavior to run away.

565
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: I'm a little envious. I didn't think of this, but

566
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: Walmart wasn't that big of a deal growing up. He

567
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: spent one night in the state park. I had friends

568
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: that slept out of doors in high school, and other

569
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: nights he spent inside the Walmart. Chief Morris at it.

570
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 3: I would wonder also, I hope he writes a children's

571
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 3: book about sleeping at the Walmart, along the lines of

572
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 3: those kids who like snuck into the museum and stayed

573
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 3: at the museum.

574
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, the tissue castle. Yeah, that'd be so fun. Tissue castle,

575
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: White Mares. There was a thing. Do you guys remember

576
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,719
Speaker 1: this when I was in college. This was certainly before

577
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: e commerce or Amazon, where people.

578
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 4: Hated for e commerce.

579
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, they hated Walmart so much. And I worked at

580
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: a bike co op and some of the kids were

581
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: kind of like gnarly, like punk wannabes, and their thing

582
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: is they would just fill up shopping carts full to

583
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: the brim for hours in a Walmart and then just

584
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: abandoned them and leave. That was something that they did

585
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: as like an few to Walmart.

586
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, because they definitely the CEO felt that, Yeah, exactly.

587
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why I never joined. But then The other

588
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: thing is they would go to Walmart parking lot and

589
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: put bumper stickers on all the Mercedes and Porsches and

590
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: basically all the hiring cars, and they they would print

591
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: them and the best one was a woman in a

592
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: truck is a beautiful thing. And I always thought that

593
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: that phrasing was a woman in a truck is a

594
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: beautiful thing. And they would just stick them on every

595
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: high end car in the Walmart parking lot. And that

596
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: was their little protest.

597
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 3: That'd say, that's such a weird thing.

598
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: They wanted. They knew they had to hate Walmart, and

599
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: so yeah, they screwed the employees and then just annoyed

600
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: people by putting bumper stickers on their cars.

601
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, college, where are these people today.

602
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: Probably running Walmart and Amazon. They probably did the full

603
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: pivot and are now pure capitalists. Like deep down, they

604
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: wanted it so bad.

605
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 5: They just didn't know that's right. They were flirting with Walmart.

606
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I I mean, I can't even tell you the

607
00:31:58,160 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: last time I was in a Walmart. But every time

608
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: tim I go, I fall for it and buy so

609
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: much stuff. Oh yeah, Target from Target, give me a break.

610
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm trying to u teach my kid to be

611
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 5: a good little anti capitalist. But she loves Target.

612
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 3: Oh she loves it course.

613
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's a delight.

614
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 5: It's a delight.

615
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 4: I love it now.

616
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: I love going into a Target and.

617
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 5: I have food. I mean that's where that kid should

618
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 5: camp out.

619
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could just eat all night.

620
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 5: There's Starbucks, Walmart tough food too.

621
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 4: I think that's a is that a super Walmart?

622
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 5: Here, I am betraying my ignorance of Walmart guys.

623
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 3: And also, you can camp in a Walmart parking lot

624
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 3: and they will not kick you out.

625
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 4: That is which is actually pretty cool.

626
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: Smart for if they allow you, or camper some places

627
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: called camper, you can go and park in a Walmart

628
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: parking lot overnight. They do not care at all. And

629
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: I think the idea is in the morning, everybody gets up,

630
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: they go pee, they get coffee at Walmart, they buy

631
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: the supplies they need for their camper, and they push off.

632
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: I did it in twenty twenty when I read an

633
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: RV and I slept two nights in a Walmart parking

634
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: lot yep.

635
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 4: And I think a lot of van lifers they do.

636
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: They do that.

637
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 3: They sleep in Walmart parking lots. Pretty often interesting. Yeah,

638
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 3: they do do one nice thing great. Also, it does

639
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 3: seem it does seem like a simpler time when Walmart

640
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 3: was the big enemy.

641
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying is there was a time before

642
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: e commerce where you were like, they're the number one

643
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: evil empire, and now you're like, yeah, go to Walmart

644
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: by a cooler.

645
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 5: Now they're just one of many.

646
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 4: It's exactly. It's just like, yeah, they're just yeah, exactly.

647
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 5: There's still they're still yeah. Yeah. I will say though,

648
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 5: my daughter one time saw me reading an article that

649
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 5: had elon musk and babies in the title and asked

650
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,959
Speaker 5: me what it was about, and I explained pro natalism.

651
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 3: To her, and then she goes, I don't understand pro natalis.

652
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 5: So this whole movement, uh, it's gaining a lot of

653
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 5: traction in the far right.

654
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 4: Oh of having lots of kids, having.

655
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 5: Lots of babies because the bugbear of like, oh, who's

656
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 5: gonna support social security when if there's no workers in

657
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 5: the younger generations to support you know, but of course

658
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 5: immigration usually takes care of that, and anyway, we could

659
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 5: be problem solving other ways to fund social security instead

660
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 5: of just having more babies. But at any rate. She

661
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 5: she asked me what was about, and I explained it

662
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 5: to her, and she goes, he probably just wants you

663
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 5: to have more babies so there's more people to buy

664
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 5: his stuff.

665
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: Ye, she gets it, she gets it.

666
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 5: She's note the proudest, proudest moment of my life, Prouder

667
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 5: even than when she won the Crazy Costume Award at gymnastics.

668
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 1: I knew it was over as a young man when

669
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 1: they had Wii Box, when they made little Rebox for kids,

670
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: and I was like, who would buy tennis shoes for

671
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 1: their children? And then every single person in my life

672
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: has Air Jordan's for their you know, six month old,

673
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: And you're like, oh, I'm an idiot. I didn't see

674
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 1: this coming. I don't understand how deep this goes.

675
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's how I feel about almost everything in

676
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 3: the world's I did not anticipate this, and that is

677
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,479
Speaker 3: why I like this shit. I like strange news because

678
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm looking to not anticipate it, whereas everything else,

679
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 3: I'm just like, who knew post Malone is popular? Okay,

680
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 3: who knew?

681
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 5: It's hard to be surprised anymore about you guys do it?

682
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 1: You do it for us we love it. We can't

683
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: get enough of it. The dumber gets, the happier we get.

684
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,320
Speaker 4: Here's a delightful one to take us off into. Some

685
00:35:59,440 --> 00:35:59,920

00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, boy thirteen arrested at hospital for impersonating a

00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 3: doctor after turning up wearing scrubs and fake id went

00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:11,480

689
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's the thumbs ups. Anthony WP wants a thumb

690
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,280
Speaker 1: himself and his team. I think you mean to support

691
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: team for beating cancer after four year battle. He also

692
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: during that time lost a long term relationship, lost his mother,

693
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 1: and his brother got the same type of cancer. Anthony

694
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 1: just got stable. Results is officially in remish his word,

695
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: not mine. Nice. And he stole Kurt's mantra and got

696
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: a tattoo that reads this is temporary Kurt. I saw

697
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: that one. Yes, he says, Kurt makes me want to

698
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: be a funnier fucker, which is nice. And in ten days,

699
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: which I think is a month or two ago, now

700
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: Anthony married the finest human ever and gets to spend

701
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: the rest of their temporary lives together.

702
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 3: Ums. That's Anthony, and it's such a good It's a

703
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 3: version that you talked about because I said I was

704
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 3: going to get this tattoo. This is temporary, and Scotty said, oh,

705
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 3: you should get it like it's fading out a little bit.

706
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 3: And he got it kind of almost like a stamp

707
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 3: that's like rubbing off, but it's his entire or entire

708
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 3: lower arm.

709
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: It's it's huge.

710
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 4: It's like, oh, man, that's better.

711
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 3: Than I would have done. I would have gotten it small,

712
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 3: and I still might. I still might do it.

713
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: I think you should.

714
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 3: Oh. And also, folks, by the way, speaking of this,

715
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 3: we are working on Banana's Fest two.

716
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 4: Whoa, whoa, It's it's coming again. It will be in

717
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 4: Denver again.

718
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 3: Won't can't give anything else away, but hopefully we will

00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 3: have many tattoo artists on hand to give out tattoos

720
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:46,160

00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: Chelsea wants to thumb up her fiance Becky. They might

722
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 1: be married by now. She loves bananas. She calls us

723
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 1: her buddies, and Chelsea says thank you for keeping Becky

724
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 1: company on her commute and keeping her saying as she

725
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 1: pursues her graduate degree in Library and Information sciences. And

726
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: she also says, come to Cleveland. Well, Kurt's gonna be

727
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. You can go see Kurt. Yeah, that's different.

728
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 4: I love Cleveland. It's such a fun place to perform.

729
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: We'll do bananas in Ohio at some point, maybe this year.

730
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: We got a lot of people in Ohio. I ran

731
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: the numbers. There's a lot of people in Ohio. So

732
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,439
Speaker 1: we'll do a city there for sure.

733
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 4: Oh maybe when we go back to Chicago in September.

734
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: Sounds fun to me. Yeah, Cincinnati's not too far away.

735
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: This is a nice one. See, the three of us

736
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: are all writers, so this is a great one to do.

737
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:40,720
Speaker 1: On this episode, Amanda's thumbing herself way up. She's super proud.

738
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: She's been working for nine and a half years as

739
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: a drone technician and has been delivering thankless uncredited work.

740
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: But recently Amanda was named a co author on an

741
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: article in the Journal of Science and the papers and

742
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,240
Speaker 1: the peer review process, but when it is published, Amanda

743
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: is going to frame it. So she finally got ignowed

744
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: for all her tireless work.

745
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 4: Isn't that awesome in the legit science of science?

746
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 1: Thank you and congratulations to Amanda. And last but not least, hmmm,

747
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 1: I got a lot of them here. How about this one?

748
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: This one's nice. Pamela wants to thumb her dad up.

749
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: Her dad, Oh, nameless dad. By the way, didn't name

750
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: the dad, but that's great. Dads don't need a name.

751
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: Dad is enough. Pamela wants a thumb her dad up.

752
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: He has donated over twenty gallons of blood in the

753
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:34,399
Speaker 1: last forty years. God, Pamela needed a blood transfusion as

754
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: a little kid to save her life and ever since,

755
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: her dad started donating every fifty eight days and has

756
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: never stopped. Gallons of donated blood. Thumbs up to Pamela's

757
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: nameless dad, A true selfless dude. That's such a Banana

758
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: the week. Yeah, Banana the week.

759
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 3: Congratulations, that's such a dude.

760
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 5: Way to do it too, every fifty eight days on

761
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 5: the dot for an entire life. That's that's masculinity done right.

762
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,439
Speaker 1: That's yeah right. Also, I don't think you'll have any

763
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: microplastics in them. Apparently when you donate blood it lowers

764
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: the amount of microplastics in your system. Is so Pamela's

765
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: dad might just be free flowing old that.

766
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 4: It's smart.

767
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 5: Wow.

768
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,919
Speaker 3: And of course we are here with the wonderful Jane

769
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 3: Board and you can get her book. Cults like us,

770
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 3: How doomsday thinking something America?

771
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: Yeah?

772
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 5: Why doomsday thinking drives America?

773
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: There it is.

774
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 3: You can get it right, you can get it in

775
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 3: March everywhere, March twenty five, March twenty fifth, Thank you

776
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 3: for the date.

777
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 4: And how is How did it come about?

778
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 5: I mean, I've always been interested in this stuff. I

779
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 5: was a religious studies major in college and I had

780
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 5: been writing about Colts for Vanity Fair and one day I,

781
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 5: just because I'd been doing so much research on it,

782
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 5: I started noticing all the patterns right of the thinking

783
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 5: behind these groups and the indoctrination. And then I started

784
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 5: seeing it everywhere in American culture, and I was like,

785
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 5: this is you know, it's a global phenomenon. Obviously it's

786
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 5: a human phenomenon cults, but there's something specifically American about it.

787
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 5: And then one day I was just like, oh my god,

788
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 5: the Puritans were a cult. No one talks about that,

789
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 5: but they.

790
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 4: Were yeah, that's and I love it.

791
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 3: And then so does it have Is it purely journalism

792
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 3: or is there a memoir aspect to it as well?

793
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 5: I mean I show up in there every now and then,

794
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 5: but it's mostly you know, it's mostly research and argument

795
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 5: and a lot of jokes because I can't help myself. Also,

796
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 5: it's like a dark topic. You gotta make it, you know,

797
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 5: it's it flows, it's.

798
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 3: It's voicy, easy to read, it's easy to read.

799
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it's not. It's not dense at all. But

800
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 5: improv comedy shows up on page five.

801
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh my god, that's such a good It's so true.

802
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 5: It's very culty, very cultisy especially.

803
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 4: I mean we we came up with the cultiest of

804
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 4: the cult.

805
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, we literally like revered a bearded white dude.

806
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, sure.

807
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 5: It was framed on the wall.

808
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: Yes.

809
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 3: And so for those of you, like I met Jane

810
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,280
Speaker 3: going at Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in like the late nineties,

811
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 3: and it was one hundred percent a cult.

812
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: It was one.

813
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 3: It was you were it was people paying to take classes,

814
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,800
Speaker 3: then people performing for free, and then the audience was

815
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 3: the people who were paying to take classes to pay

816
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 3: to watch other students who were paying class to take

817
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 3: classes perform improv comedy, which seventy five percent of the

818
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 3: time was horrible. It was like fast that it was.

819
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 4: I was like, this is a money this is a

820
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 4: money making is a genius move.

821
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 3: To like have this and then and yet I'd do

822
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,879
Speaker 3: it again, and you would do it again, you would

823
00:42:58,920 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 3: do it?

824
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 5: YEA love to? I love to. I actually come out

825
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 5: on the side of it not being a cult based

826
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 5: on a technicality is a technicality.

827
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 4: Because it doesn't make a lot of money because you

828
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 4: had to wet bankrupt.

829
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 5: I mean that's not untrue.

830
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah they did.

831
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 5: But the guy we were quote unquote worshiping was dead

832
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 5: first of all. But also I didn't I didn't feel

833
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:29,760
Speaker 5: I didn't really feel that exploited.

834
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: No, you're not exploited other than like performing for free.

835
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah, And I feel like the exploitation is

836
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 5: what makes it a cult, you know, or at least

837
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 5: that's the problem. That's the problematic part of it, right right.

838
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the community and sense of purpose is wonderful.

839
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you guys clearly craved a stage. I think

840
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 1: at some point it's like, hey, here's a place to

841
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,879
Speaker 1: perform crazy he's here. You go hop around, make everybody laugh.

842
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: But then at some point, when you become skilled at

843
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: that thing, they should start paying you. But yeah, starting out,

844
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: it's like I just need a spotlight in a stage.

845
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 1: I just need to be somebody and learn something, And

846
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: it's so exciting and then at some point you're like,

847
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: so nothing, We're just going to do hours and hours

848
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: of this for audiences who were having a great time,

849
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 1: and then we don't get drink tickets.

850
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 3: That was it always felt where it was just like

851
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,880
Speaker 3: after and you would tat you would hit a ceiling

852
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,839
Speaker 3: after like three or four years of it where you're like, okay,

853
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 3: and now what's the next thing, and they're like there

854
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,200

855
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 4: This is like oh and then you have to get

Speaker 5: This was in.

00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:50,920

865
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 3: Thirteen arrested at hospital for impersonating a doctor after turning

866
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:57,240
Speaker 3: up wearing scrubs and fake ID.

867
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: Yeah that was a ChIL was arrested.

868
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's say a teen A child was arrested by

869
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 3: police at a hospital following reports of a person impersonating

870
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 3: a doctor. Witness claimed the youngster attended the hospital in

871
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,320
Speaker 3: the morning of January nineteenth, wearing scrubs and with a

872
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 3: fake ID. Police were called to Derryford Hospital in Plymouth

873
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 3: at around ten thirty am. It has not been confirmed

874
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 3: which part of the estate the youngster was on, so

875
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,800
Speaker 3: to use youngster twice and not say teen is a

876
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 3: weird move. Nor whether he had access to patients or

877
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:36,800
Speaker 3: medical records.

878
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 4: They don't know and they have not found out.

879
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 1: Why would they.

880
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 3: Police have now confirmed officers attended the hospital and a

881
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,839
Speaker 3: child was initially arrested, but later dealt with by means

882
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:50,760
Speaker 3: of quote words of advice. That's nice on not dressing

883
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,320
Speaker 3: up as a doctor at having a fake ID, and

884
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 3: no further action will be taken. A spokesman for a

885
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 3: spokesperson for the Devon and Cornwall Police said police were

886
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 3: called at ten thirty am just saying the exact same thing.

887
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 3: It's just been said. Officer's an attendant and arrested thirteen

888
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 3: year old boy. Boys de arrested and the matter has

889
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 3: since also that word I don't think exists in American

890
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 3: nady de arrested, de arrested, and I would like to

891
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 3: introduce it to America. If you arrest someone, you can

892
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 3: de arrest them. We now know because the UK does it.

893
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 3: They de arrest people, and I think we should be

894
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 3: able to do that. I feel like in America it's

895
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 3: like once you're arrested, it's like this thing kicks in

896
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 3: that is like an unstoppable behemoth.

897
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 4: And I think we should be able to de arrest people.

898
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:47,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. Also, let's redefine impost syndrome. Like, I know, imposter

899
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:49,800
Speaker 1: syndrome as we know it is like self doubt and

900
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: I don't belong here and I'm not good enough, and

901
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: like I'm in a career situation or a life situation

902
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: where I don't fit in. But what you're describing should

903
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 1: be what imposter syndrome is. It should be somebody that

904
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: loves to impersonate another job in career and goes all

905
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 1: the way in. That's a way more exciting way. The

906
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:10,839
Speaker 1: other one is like, oh, this one's like, oh yeah,

907
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,840
Speaker 1: this guy's in there. He was two doorsway surgery.

908
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 3: Think about how much guts it took at thirteen to

909
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,320
Speaker 3: be like I'm gonna a fine scrubs, I'm gonna be

910
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 3: make a fake ID, and I'm gonna get into the

911
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 3: hospital and be a doctor.

912
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 4: Why why what did he want?

913
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 3: Because he's in the movie Catch Me if I if you.

914
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 5: Yes, It's like this kid needs to be monitored. This

915
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 5: is like the the you know how like serial killers

916
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 5: torture animals as children. This is the first scam artists

917
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 5: to be following This sounds like a narcissist.

918
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's a baldness for sure. This is

919
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: a bold child. A lot of us at that age

920
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: were just like just trying not to get pushed over,

921
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 1: trying to fit in anywhere we could. This guy's like,

922
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,479
Speaker 1: I'm going to the high spittle, I'm going to start

923
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 1: treating patients now. I like about it.

924
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 4: I admire, I admire this kid.

925
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 1: I love it.

926
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 3: Jane is concerned that he's a artist. I do have

927
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 3: that concern it as well. But I am still I am.

928
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 3: I am owed and wowed by the hutzpah of like,

929
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:24,320
Speaker 3: I'm going to be a doctor today.

930
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 1: And kids, he well, he.

931
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 5: Did did get away with it because he got to arrested,

932
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 5: didn't he.

933
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 1: He got arrested, didn't he? Uh?

934
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 5: Some kids his age are just camping out among toilet

935
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 5: paper and walmarts.

936
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:40,280
Speaker 1: Oh, this guy's making things happen. He's wearing costumes.

937
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 3: It's the difference between the UK and the US.

938
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 5: If you could make a fake ID that was convincing,

939
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:49,320
Speaker 5: is that what you would use it for?

940
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 4: To be a doctor's the funniest thing. He doesn't want

941
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:55,120
