Speaker 1: You did go? You had three more than the rest

28
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: of us. But the funny thing was is there were

29
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: there were five of us, five adults who socially distanced

30
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: in a pool up to our necks. So it was

31
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: just five heads about eight feet part from each other

32
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: with a cocktail right behind them for three and a

33
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: half hours, four hours.

00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: It was really it was beautiful. It is the ideal way.

35
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 3: I think a pool at night is my ideal hangout situation.

36
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: Well, you are right, and yeah, that was a special one.

37
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: It felt totally great, normal and the grand reopening continues.

38
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: Thank you. Do you want to plug any sets or anything?

39
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: Before we jump into our wacky news stories, just.

40
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 3: A reminder, you know, we got a live special taping

41
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 3: TV special taping in Denver at the Gothic Theater on

42
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 3: August twenty ninth.

43
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: YEP.

44
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 3: I believe that the early shows is.

45
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 2: Getting it's getting full up. It's going to sell out,

46
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: I think soon.

47
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 3: Okay, but the late show we need more people for

48
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 3: that late show.

49
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: Guys.

50
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: Now, let me jump in here, because for TV tapings,

51
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: I've show run a few shows that have stand up,

52
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: And I've seen a lot of my friends, including you,

53
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: shooting specials. So when you go to a stand ups

54
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: the late show, usually if the stand up nails the

55
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: early show, they're looser. Yeah, they're a little they're a

56
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,399
Speaker 1: little wilder. They're going to push the limits a little

57
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: bit more. So if you go to that, it's a

58
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: nine o'clock show, right, Hm, the nine o'clock in my experience,

59
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: you get to see the pressure is dropped thirty percent

60
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: on the comic and they're kind of letting loose and

61
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 1: if they kind of flubbed the line in the first one,

62
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: they come back harder and hit it. So you know,

63
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: go out, have some BEVs, meet some friends, and go

64
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: see Old Kurdie b in Denver at the Gothic Theater.

65
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 3: And that is not to say also that the early

66
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,839
Speaker 3: show is somehow worse. It's not, because the early show

67
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 3: you're getting like all right, I'm bringing it like here

68
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 3: it is.

69
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: This is going to be because you want to just

70
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 2: get it done.

71
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 3: You want to get it in the case on the

72
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 3: first one, yes, so that's the second one, yeah, because

73
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 3: honestly you end up ten you take from both.

74
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: That's right. So yeah, they split it up and the

75
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: early show for anybody that needs to go to that

76
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: six thirty show, and it's a better fit for him.

77
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: A lot of times you get on TV a lot

78
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: more at the early shows because there's a crowd warm

79
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: up beforehand and they go, let's see some big laughs,

80
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: Let's see some laughs in the claps. The laughing. The

81
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: clap is the greatest thing in TV taping where they go, Okay, guys,

82
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: give me like a five out of ten and then

83
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: go and everybody gets on TV that way, So go

84
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: get on TV that way, Go get on.

85
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. Man, That's what I'm excited about doing. I'm excited

86
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 2: about doing it.

87
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 3: And now what I'm really excited about Scotty is getting

88
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 3: into this story.

89
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty nudes in a car with Satan, I'm in

90
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: buddy boy.

91
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 3: This is This has a really nice personal angle to

92
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 3: it as well, because it was sent to me by

93
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 3: an old friend of mine, Bob Wiltfong. Bob Wiltfong was

94
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 3: we were in an improv group together.

95
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 2: I mean I think that we were.

96
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 3: We started the group, and the group was started in

97
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety nine or two thousand.

98
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 2: I guess it's like way way back it was called

99
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 2: New Trino Great. Uh.

100
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 3: And Bob was at the time a news anchor, and

101
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 3: so all of us were like, he was just like

102
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 3: slightly older than us. I think that means he was

103
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 3: like twenty seven at the time. We were all twenty

104
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 3: two or something. And and he but he was the

105
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 3: only one with like a real job, Like he had

106
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 3: a he had a job, and he had a wife,

107
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 3: and he was a fucking.

108
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 2: News anchor, right that's cool.

109
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, And he had like and he would he had

110
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 3: different he had a different name when he was like

111
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 3: on as a news anchor, had like a news anchor name,

112
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 3: which is something I should have done for being a comedian.

113
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 3: So anyway, he uh, he sent me this out of

114
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 3: the blue. So he's just saying, like, oh, banana, I

115
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 3: love listening to bananas. And so then he gets said

116
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 3: to hear if you're interested in an old bizarre news story,

117
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 3: I once covered a story in Lake Charles, Louisiana, my

118
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 3: first job out of college nineteen ninety three ish, involving

119
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 3: roughly twenty naked people stuffed inside one car who got

120
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 3: into a high speed chase with police. The naked people

121
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 3: were all related to each other, religious fanatics who were

122
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 3: traveling from Texas to Florida ran out of cash and

123
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 3: went from traveling in three cars down to one. On

124
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 3: top of that, at some point along the way, God

125
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 3: told them to get rid of all of their earthly

126
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 3: possessions good, which resulted in them getting naked smart. The

127
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 3: cops got involved when two members of their plan I

128
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 3: believe they were children, started knocking on the doors of

129
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 3: trailer home parks near Lake Charles, alternatively asking for money

130
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 3: and demanding that the homeowner give them their home.

131
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: Because God willed it anyway.

132
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 3: It was definitely bananas, yeah, And I responded, I was like,

133
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 3: oh man, we got to totally do this one.

134
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:46,119
Speaker 2: So he found the piece.

135
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 3: So he found the piece that he did back in

136
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety three about this, and so what We'll post

137
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 3: the piece from the local news channel and it's like

138
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 3: Bob interviewing everybody, yes and uh and like he had

139
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 3: like reenact like what happened and everything. And then I

140
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 3: found actually the an ap article. The Associated Press picked

141
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 3: it up, so I think Bob broke this story. And

142
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 3: then like other you know, you know, the Associated Press

143
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 3: came in bose.

144
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: Bozo's just bandwagon on Bob's blood sweating tears. He's out

145
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: there pounding the pavement looking for nude Satanists, and meanwhile

146
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: here comes the ap a week later.

147
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 3: And so and so so here in his text he

148
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 3: says that God told them to throw away all their

149
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 3: earthly possessions. But in the piece, what Bob says is

150
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 3: that they said that their clothes were were from Satan,

151
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 3: so they had to get rid of them.

152
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: Nice.

153
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's it's actually a better line in the

154
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 3: in the uh.

155
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: Real what's Satan? Where Satan must wear red under armor?

156
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 3: I guess for some reason, I feel like it's leader hosen.

157
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: Oh, I could see Satan in some serious leader hosen.

158
00:07:58,880 --> 00:07:59,679
Speaker 1: That's a good point.

159
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 2: Naked except for leader hose.

160
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 3: And with the with the braces on, I didn't see that.

161
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: What are braces called?

162
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: You know, suspenders?

163
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 2: Suspenders?

164
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: Yeahs yeah, if you hadn't done the hand motion, I

165
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: was like, K, just think Satan needs braces. That guy's

166
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: got as he's got fangs.

167
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 3: Baby, I just remembers braces was like an old punk thing.

168
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 3: Instead of calling suspenders, you call them braces.

169
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 2: I think it's probably I bet you it's a British thing.

170
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 3: So anyway, So he follows up with the with the

171
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 3: video piece, which I'll post is very funny. I remember

172
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 3: being so bummed that there was no video or photos

173
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 3: from the people at the scene of the arrest. We

174
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 3: had to improvise b roll to tell the story as

175
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 3: a result in credible as I recalled, Jay Leno talked

176
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 3: about this story on the Tonight Show when it happened,

177
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 3: and I believe interviewed the police officer I interviewed. I

178
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 3: was hoping this story would be my ticket to the

179
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 3: big time, helping me get the hell out of Lake Charles,

180
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 3: Alas it was not the case. I think I was

181
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 3: there for another year before Jill, his wife, got us

182
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 3: out of there with a job in Dodge City, Kansas,

183
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 3: another little Suica heaven in small town America. I remember

184
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 3: trying to get sound with the leader of the naked

185
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 3: people as he left town fully closed on the Greyhound bus,

186
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 3: and he gave me na a wow, small town reporting, man,

187
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 3: I love it. Bob is out there working it, you know,

188
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 3: trying to get a quote.

189
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 2: I love that.

190
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that too. So they thought, okay, so

191
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: they kept selling their cars for money. They get to

192
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: they're going from Texas to Florida. They stop in Louisiana.

193
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: It's in between. That makes a lot of sense. At

194
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: least they're heading the right direction. Yeah, and then they

195
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: just get to their clothes because their satan's closed.

196
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 2: And you know, they were coming from and this is

197
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 2: in the AP. I learned this.

198
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 3: They were coming from Floydada, Texas, which is just a

199
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 3: great name.

200
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: Never heard of it. Floyd Data, Floyd Data.

201
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 2: There's like six hundred people in Floydata.

202
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a you know. I hope they found what

203
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: they were looking for.

204
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 3: I hope they found what they were looking for, and

205
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,400

211
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 3: him telling the story. It was around the same time

212
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,760

00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 3: I'll try and get the the scoop from the news

00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,320

239
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: before the banana phone went away. And that story that

240
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: I did, I think it was when hend was on

241
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: a long time ago about the girl that was driving

242
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: and there was a spider and she swerved and then

243
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: crashed her car into a boat. Yes, apparently on that pod.

244
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: I joked, well, I like, I hope that guy had

245
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: an old boat and he like upgraded and got a

246
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: new boat. And somebody in Michigan was like, he did.

Speaker 1: boat after that and like got his insurance, his boater's

249
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: insurance or whatever. And I was like, it's so fun, amazing,

250
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: what an amazing one. Okay, you want me to hop

251
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,400

252
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: pool with your friends at night. Oh, it was so fun.

253
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 2: It was a real treat, warm pool.

254
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,000

00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 3: like just pouring way too. I'm used to a little

258
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,840

261
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 2: I was doing three counts with no stopper. That's not

262
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 2: a good ideat.

263
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:46,280

00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: was in People magazine. You know they're covering animals these days.

266
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: It's tough times out there. Written by a really good writer.

Speaker 1: He got the pun, Nikki best in the business. On

274
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: Tuesday morning, students at West Scranton High School in Scranton,

275
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania were dismissed from classes after school officials spotted what

276
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: they thought was a bobcat loose in the building. The bobcat, however,

277
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: turned out to be nothing more than a missing house

278
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: cat that had wandered into the school. How is the

279
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 1: perfect verb for that too. Speaking with w nep Dash

280
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: TV ahead of the discovery that the animal is just

281
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: an ordinary cat, Scranton School District Superintendent Melissa mcteerney said, quote,

282
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone would have this, of course, but again,

283
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: our staff and students did a wonderful job, not overreacting,

284
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,719
Speaker 1: just quietly left the building and we will all we

285
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: will let professionals and animal control do their job. Melissa

286
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 1: is very confident that they made the right choice. It

287
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: seems like.

288
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 2: She's got a double down on that.

289
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 3: Also, I'm trying to think, what's it like a bobcat?

290
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 3: I mean, is a bobcat gonna do anything? The bobcats

291
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 3: Probably if it finds itself in a school, it's terrified

292
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 3: and it's probably just looking for a way out, right,

293
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 3: is it?

294
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: Yeah?

295
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 3: Are are they worried that the Bobcat's gonna stalk children?

296
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: I guess. I mean they're bigger than you think, all

297
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: those things in a lot. Oh yeah, Oh yeah, they're

298
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: bigger than you think. I remember coming out of that

299
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: movie The Gray, that Liam Neeson movie about the wolves.

300
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if you ever saw that, and I

301
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: was with all these dudes and we're like, could you

302
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: fight a wolf? Like could And we were like, oh no,

303
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: like you're and then one of our buddies wives just

304
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: pulled up a photo of a wolf next to man

305
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: and she's like you would all get creamed instantly, and

306
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: we were like yeah, yeah, yeah, it's like if you've

307
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: ever tried to hold a regular house cat that doesn't

308
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: want to be held in the ferocity? Just put an

309
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: extra twenty pounds on there and make it fairal and

310
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: out and it's it would be a hell of a show.

311
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 2: I think, I right, I guess.

312
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 3: I guess if you have like dumb kids who are

313
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 3: approaching a Bobcat, that's that's probably where you're going to

314
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 3: get a problem. You just got to get children away.

315
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 3: What kind of school was it? Was it a high school?

316
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: It was it was a high school.

317
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 2: It was a high school.

318
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, a real hold my caprice son moment, Like Hey, Bud,

319
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go over there and take an Instagram photo

320
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: now that we're talking about it. They would have tiktoked.

321
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: There'd been like two boys that kind of look like

322
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: dancing and sync in the weirdest, lamest way ever, and

323
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: then the Bobcat rips them to shreds. I when I

324
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: was in school, we were uniforms Little Catholic School, Sacred

325
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: Heart of Glyndon, and it was cool. We didn't care,

326
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: and every once in a while it was a special

327
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: we'd have a no uniforms day and you got to

328
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: actually see what your classmates. I remember those free Internet. Yeah,

329
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: and you'd wear I'd wear my cool Baltimore Aquarium shirt

330
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: with a red eyed tree frog on it and just

331
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: drive the women gaga. Krt ah. They couldn't handle such

332
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: exotic vibes. But every once in a while they would

333
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: do that. And then you know, say that happened five

334
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: times a year, usually in the spring. There would do

335
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: this thing and it it caught us off guard every

336
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: year because we're stupid. So it'd be a no uniform day.

337
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: It was usually a Friday, but again, we're in third grade,

338
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: fourth grade, we're too stupid to understand time or anything. Yeah, exactly,

339
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: And they would do the morning prayer and the Pledge

340
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: of Allegiance and then there'd be this pause and you'd

341
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: hear this crackle sound and they would put on this

342
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: vinyl record and it would go like DN didn't We're

343
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: going to the zoo, zoo, zoo, how about you? And

344
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: the moms would come in, all these moms that knew

345
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: that we were going to the zoo and the students didn't.

346
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: So all the chaperones would come in and you and

347
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: kids would start screaming like Beatlemania, like we're going to

348
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 1: the Zoo Zoo Zoo. How about you? You you you

349
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,439

00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,719
Speaker 1: we heard the record, everybody be looking at each other

351
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: like what the is it? It was like almost like those

355
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: I think that's heaven. I think that's the peak of existence,

356
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: and then everything after this is just a beautiful, nice

Speaker 3: crying with joy.

373
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was like a school with three hundred

00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: kids K to eight. So we all got on like

375

Speaker 3: got a great aquarium.

379
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: Fabulous, it's fabulous. And so it was just like I've

380
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: never done PCP, but I, for like a third grader,

381
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: I would assume that's like PCP. It was so exciting.

382
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 2: We had a we had a cat to go for it.

383
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 3: For a cat versions of this story, we had a

384
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 3: cat named cat and yeah, yeah, just we just never

385
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 3: named the cat.

386
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 2: For some like we had a dog.

387
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 3: The dog's name was Doogie Bowser Canine, and you know,

388
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 3: it's just like we obviously named the dog, but then

389
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 3: the cat was just like it was just an afterthought.

390
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 2: It's like, hey, we're just not gonna name this cat.

391
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: I don't think that's mine. By the way, I don't

392
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 1: think don't cat. Cats don't need names. Yeah, She's not

393
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 1: like like giving a spot exactly. Cats just are like

394
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: when I'm ready.

395
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 3: And so we were out of you've heard the story.

396
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,000

397
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 3: like eight hours.

398
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 2: I was probably like third grade or something.

399
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 3: And the cat, as cats are wont to do, like

400
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,959
Speaker 3: just knock things off tables, right. Oh yeah, So the

401
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 3: cat knocked a five pound bag of powdered sugar off

402
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 3: the table, and then my ten pound toy poodle Bowser

403
00:19:53,960 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 3: canine proceeded to eat ahle five pounds of powdered sugar. Yes,

Speaker 3: it's powdered sugar, you know what I mean.

409

Speaker 2: It's the simplest thing to lick.

410
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 3: But I'm sure like a pound in he was like,

411

00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: discovered marijuana during her cancer treatments, and so for eight

471
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,959
Speaker 1: years they've been smoking wheat and we're all for that.

472
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: So now we listen to the Bananas Podcast and cackle nightly.

473
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: We are Stitcher Premium literally just for you, two guys.

474
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 1: She refers to you to as Curti and Scottie, and

475
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 1: when she is talking to friends and relatives, I have

476
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: to let them know that you are not her actual friends,

477
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: just host of her favorite podcast. She turns seventy five

478
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: on August twenty third, and well, maybe this is spoilers.

479
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: I ordered her the hypercolored banana shirt, the best in

480
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: the business shirt from your merch to where when she

481
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: becomes seventy five and gets stone singing to your theme song.

482
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: Yes is from Cindy. I believe the mom is Sue.

487
00:24:58,400 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: And that's all I got.

488
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 2: Makes me so happy too. Thank you, Scotty got it

489
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 2: now you want to hear about these goldfish.

490
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 3: More than anything in my entire life, I want to

491
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 3: thank everyone who sent in the goldfish story we have.

492
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 3: We got a lot, a lot of people setting in

493
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 3: this goldfish story and it's fascinating. This the one that

494
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 3: I'm choosing to read from is from the Smithsonian magazine.

495
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 2: Heard of it written by David Kindy.

496
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 3: Who's Hindy kind Maybe it's David Kindy.

497
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 2: Okay a Kindy, the best in the biz.

498
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for that.

499
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 2: You're welcome, right.

500
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 3: Football sized goldfish have authorities in one Minnesota community urging

501
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 3: residents not to release in local waterways. Officials in Burnsville, Minnesota,

502
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 3: captured nearly thirty gigantic goldfish. Someone a daring more than

503
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 3: eighteen inches and weighing up to four pounds.

504
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 1: Very cool.

505
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 3: The fish are believed to have been released by owners

506
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 3: thinking was a humane way to dispose of the unwanted pets.

507
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 2: The photograph of these things is so funny.

508
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 3: It is just imagine a goldfish and then make it

509
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 3: ten times larger and it just maintains all of the same,

510
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 3: you know, weird kind of giant belly and fucking crazy head.

511
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: So not koy. We're not talking koy. We're talking like

512
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,959
Speaker 1: pet or petster goldfish.

513
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 3: Oh my god, us Now there is so many details

514
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 3: in this. I'm not going to read the whole thing.

515
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 3: I do want to tell you about how much of

516
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 3: a problem this is apparently.

517
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: Something.

518
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 3: Let's see there is they believe in Canada. They believe

519
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 3: there are forty to fifty million Okay, goldfish in Lake Ontario.

520
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 1: Seems like too many.

521
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 3: There is a video. I'll post it to the Instagram.

522
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 3: It's a video. This is from Peter Ackman's Twitter account.

523
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 3: I guess he maybe is a journalist. It sounds like

524
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 3: forty to fifty million, that's how many goldfish researchers believe

525
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 3: in Lake Ontario. Fish oceans, Canada says they are also

526
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 3: now in most lakes, rivers, and water reservoirs across the country,

527
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 3: most from people dumping or fleshing their pets.

528
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 2: It is a school of goldfish.

529
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 3: I mean, like we've talked on this podcast about maybe

530
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 3: seeing herds of small dogs, like what that would be

531
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 3: like seeing herds of hamsters.

532
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: Ajoya behold, a joy to.

533
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 3: Behold, And this is this is a school of I

534
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:37,719
Speaker 3: don't know, one hundred thousand and it's just like this,

535
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 3: you know, bright orange streak through the water.

536
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 1: It sounds really cool.

537
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 3: So apparently these goldfish because they're so like, you know,

538
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 3: they can survive in low oxygen environments because they're you know,

539
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 3: they're usually in a little bowl that no one puts

540
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 3: like an air raider in or anything. And those like fish,

541
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 3: you know, there's like in a bowl for years and

542
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 3: they're fine.

543
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: And they crap way too much. I've read a thing once.

544
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 1: They're horrible bowlfish because they like take dumps at a

545
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 1: rate that blows all other fish out of the water.

546
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: So they're like, don't get these these things are just

547
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: crap factories.

548
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 3: But you're cute when they're in the wild. That's like

549
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 3: a big problem. So they're considered an evasive species. They're

550
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 3: a member of the Karp family. They can cause poor

551
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 3: water quality conditions and ponds and lakes. They destroy like

552
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 3: you know, the lake local ecosystem populations of frogs, fish, turtles, salamanders,

553
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 3: they're all significantly down in Lake Ontario. That stinks of

554
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 3: the fifty million goldfish.

555
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: That's so many goldfish. It's so many goldfish. That's so

556
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: many goldfish.

557
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 3: It's imagine it's it's five, it's almost it's four to

558
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 3: five New York cities of goldfish. If a person per

559
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 3: goldfish take New York City talking all five burrows.

560
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,719
Speaker 2: People, thank you. I mean, this is amazing.

561
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 3: And literally they can survive and anything, and a lot

562
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 3: of them when you they get flushed down the toilet,

563
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 3: they literally survive being flushed down into What a ride?

564
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: What a ride? That's one of your old fantasies is

565
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: you want to get flushed from a pool into a

566
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: hot tub. The fish live in your dreams. They're going

567
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: from a crappy bowl into the greatest water park ride

568
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: of all time and then floomed into an ever expanding

569
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: lake of opportunity.

570
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 3: I mean, wow, for a for a pet you know,

571
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 3: I am I'm always I'm always, you know, against invasive species.

572
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 2: See, I don't want to see any ecology.

573
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: Will dial this hill. This is the first time we've

574
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: been political ever on this podcast. We put our feet down.

575
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 2: For invasive species.

576
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 3: I do not want to see a college ecologies destroyed,

577
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 3: No sir, no sir.

578
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 4: But I will also say congratulations to these pets. You

579
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 4: did it, goldfish, You fucking rule. You made it from

580
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 4: the word existence in the world. You took the best

581
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 4: ride ever and now.

582
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 3: You have a big family, fifty million of you strong.

583
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 2: I'm so fucking proud of you.

584
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: Cry. I'm crying. That is the funniest stance to take.

585
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: We're proud of the goldfish. They didn't do anything wrong. Yeah,

586
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: we will die on the cross. We hate invasive species,

587
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: but we are so proud of these goldfish. Oh that

588
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: is started from the bottom hour here.

589
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 2: I know it really is.

590
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 3: I mean, like, just imagine if it happened with any

591
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 3: other type of pet.

592
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 2: Imagine if hamsters released into the wild.

593
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 4: We're just destroying forests because there was fifty million hamster

594
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 4: strong running around Cannic Canada forests.

595
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, we would hate that they were invasive but we

596
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: would love their unity, would love their unity. Oh god,

597
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: this is the greatest example of us in general. We

598
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: stand firmly against it, but we totally see what's great

599
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: about the absurd volume of their survival rate. I had, well,

600
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: my nephew's probably fifty million goldfish crackers every day. It's

601
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: a remarkable amount of goldfish. Yeah, I had one that

602
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: I wanted the Maryland State Fair Intimonia, Maryland, right off

603
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: of York Road. I threw a ping pong ball. I

604
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: can do a small ball. I'm really good classic. I'm

605
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: good at carnival games.

606
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 2: Think about that's another thing to think about.

607
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 3: That's I think the majority of the way people get goldfish. Yes,

608
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 3: so that goldfish coasts from being part of a game

609
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 3: given away to a children in a plastic bag for hours,

610
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 3: probably sitting in that plastic bag for hours in a

611
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 3: purse as a mom walks around a fair waiting for

612
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 3: their child to finish up.

613
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 2: Like that's an amazing journey.

614
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: It's incredible. It's been pitched to Pixar after Nemo a

615
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: thousand times. But also when I was doing this in

616
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: the eighties late eighties, they the fish was in the

617
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: bowl like the little bowl.

618
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 3: They would pick it up and dump it into the plastic,

619
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 3: give it to.

620
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: Your bag, and then your parent would either get a

621
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: free bowl for I was plastic and grabby, or they

622
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: buy the little glass one that had a little like

623
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,959
Speaker 1: frilly thing on the top for three bucks. So I

624
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: won one and it lived for I think two years

625
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: in that bowl without coming out. And we would literally

626
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: just tip out the dirty water and then fill it

627
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: up with sink water and then just put it back.

628
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: And this thing was it was the terminator. It was incredible.

629
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: And then I got a fish tank. I matured into

630
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: a grand six year old or whatever, and it got

631
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: a ten gawn fish tank and a bunch of fish,

632
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: and I put that goldfish in. So now that goldfish,

633
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: it's like you're saying, it's gone from the upstairs bathroom

634
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: in my grandma's house into a ten gown fish tank

635
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: with I was friends. It's amazing. Two years in, I'm like, boy,

636
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: oh boy. Then we went to McDonald's. There was a promotion.

637
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: They used to have a mascot called mac Tonight. Make

638
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: it a mac Tonight. Remember that it was a Frank

639
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: sinatcha rip off, and it was a crescent moon faced

640
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: figure wearing a suit.

641
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 3: And he would sing Mac the knife. But it was

642
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 3: like big Max Tonight.

643
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: Yes, and so I get a happy meal. I'm happy

644
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: about it. Probably probably chicken nuggets. Probably dipped it in

645
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: honey McDonald's nuggets and honey is.

646
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 2: Just wait does Mickey D's provide honey?

647
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: Oh? They they can't keep it and stop it's flying out.

648
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 3: I've never I feel like I've never been offered honey

649
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 3: as an emotion.

650
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: I believe it.

651
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 2: Okay, go for it.

652
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: I get home. No, I mean with the honey now, yeah,

653
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: I get it. Now, I'm just wing dging. I get home.

654
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: I eat it. I put the Mac Tonight dead center

655
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: in the fish tank. I go to bed. I wake

656
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: up in the morning. All the fish are dead, including

657
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: the goldfish. It was like so toxic or whatever. But

658
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: I was just like walking and I'm like, hey, nothing

659
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: can go wrong for me. And then it was like

660
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: this really awesome toy from my favorite meal and my

661
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: two year old fish buddy, well, nothing can get And

662
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,760
Speaker 1: then wake up and it's just like, oh boy, lessons

663
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: were learned, mistakes had been made. It was the worst.

664
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: It was the worst.

665
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 2: I think.

666
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 3: I I'm unsure if this is like actually one of

667
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 3: my first memories and it's very similar to your story

668
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 3: a little bit.

669
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 2: Is this was when so.

670
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 3: My parents got divorced when I was two, We moved

671
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 3: to Asbury Park, lived with my great uncle and then

672
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 3: my mom I think was renting a house and wall

673
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 3: for like a year or something before we moved to Neptune.

674
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,760
Speaker 2: And I was in that house in Wall, New Jersey.

675
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 3: I had my own room big time. It was, which

676
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 3: was very exciting since when we lived in Asbury Park,

677
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 3: I did not, So I was very excited about having

678
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 3: my own room.

679
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 2: And I had and I had a goldfish.

680
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 3: And my one of my earliest memories is being in

681
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 3: that room and trying to pet the goldfish because I

682
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 3: was like, it's a pet, I'm gonna pet it, and

683
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 3: so I like took it out of the I was

684
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 3: like maybe three I want.

685
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I took it out and was trying to pet it.

686
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 3: But like I had a and when walked in and

687
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 3: I was just like holding up the goldfish that was

688
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 3: like you know, asphyxiating and rubbing it, and she was

689
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 3: like what are you doing? You know, like grab the

690
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 3: goldfish and put it back in.

691
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 2: I think that the like.

692
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 3: The shock of like her yelling is probably what like

693
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 3: seared it into my memory. And I just don't know

694
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 3: if the goldfish died or not. I'm hoping fingers crossed.

695
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 3: It's not a goldfish. It lived forever. It's still alive.

696
00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 3: It's like the Ontario.

697
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 1: Oh man, I actually it's funny when you said that story.

698
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: I have too many. I have another fish story for

699
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: another time. I have a college fish story with my

700
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: friend flipping out that I will tell on a future episodes.

701
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: Next fish story, I got one locked unloaded. Speaking of Kurt. Yes,

702
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 1: sometimes in life, you you just want to get outside.

703
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,240
Speaker 1: You know, you want to take a walk in the woods.

704
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 2: I sure understand that you want.

705
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: To ride your bicycle down a trail along a riverside.

706
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 2: Well, who doesn't want to do that.

707
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: Sometimes you want to get in a kayak with a

708
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: friend and just take a little paddle with somebody you

709
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 1: care about. Right Well, woman hurt in Yamhill County after

710
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: being hit by a plane while kayak. Sometimes it's these

711
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 1: little ones that just get me so good. This was

712
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: sent in by Standard user sixt' six ' six and

713
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: by Fox twelve Oregon. The Fox twelve stat Fox twelve.

714
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: Probably an intern, So thank you to that intern. You're

715
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: the best in the business. The woman hurt in Yamhill

716
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: County after being hit by a plane walk kayaking. I

717
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 1: didn't ever think this was possible. That's why we love

718
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 1: this podcast. A day kayaking on the Oregon River took

719
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: a scary turn for one forty two year old woman

720
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 1: after a thirty say she was struck by a plane.

721
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: What she lived? She lived? Okay, she lived. The incident

722
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 1: unfolded Wednesday on the Willamette River and the Lower Lambart

723
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: Bar between Dayton and Wheatland Ferry, which means nothing to

724
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of us.

725
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 2: Okay, I've swam in that river. It's a very nice river.

726
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 1: Boy. I hope you wore a helmet. According to a

727
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: press release, just after five pm local time, sun still shining.

728
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: County officials say they received a nine to one one

729
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: call about an injured kayaker on the river. Oh my

730
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: marine patrol boat with the Yemhoe County Sheriff's Office immediately

731
00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 1: responded to the scene, along with a water rescue boat

732
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: for fire and rescue from Dayton and mckinneyville. You know

733
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: the staff loves to list towns. We can say that

734
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: this intern is a big fan of local geography. When

735
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:15,720
Speaker 1: the first responders arrived, they found the injured kayaker, only

736
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: identified as a forty two year old female, as well

737
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: as a Piper super Cub plane on the gravel bar nearby.

738
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: Officials then determined that the plane took off from the

739
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 1: gravel bar, which I guess is like an embankment or

740
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: the dot. It's the ground. I guess it's like a

741
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: gravel runway, which seems strange, took off before striking the

742
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 1: woman who is kayaking on the river. Besides a sixty

743
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: eight year old female an a separate kayak. Sheriff's department

744
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: posted several photos of the plane. It's a real plant.

745
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,760
Speaker 1: This is It's like it looks like a crop dusting

746
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: plane or something like that.

747
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:55,879
Speaker 3: It's wait a second, it was on a sand bar

748
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:57,959
Speaker 3: that the gravel says.

749
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: Gravel bar. Yeah, gravel bar, which I'm sure Argonians are

750
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 1: going to be like, you bozo idiots, here's what a

751
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 1: gravel bar is. It sounds like it's just a sandbar.

752
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 3: It's strange that you would take a play it off

753
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 3: sandbar or landed there.

754
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 2: How did it get there? In the so many questions

755
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:17,800
Speaker 2: are so many questions.

756
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: Following the incident, police said the pilot returned to the

757
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: scene and was cooperating with authorities, while the woman was

758
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 1: transported by a grand ground ambulance to a rescue via

759
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 1: a rescue boat. The woman sustained quote serious injuries from

760
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: the collision. I bet she did.

761
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,240
Speaker 2: She got hit bio by a fucking plane.

762
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: But if she lives and she's fine, boy, does she

763
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: have a story for the rest of her life. She's

764
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: at a wedding. She doesn't know anybody. You guys ever

765
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: know kayak lane. Yeah, the kayak makes me so happy.

766
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:51,720
Speaker 1: That's the part that makes me so happy. The Sheriff's

767
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: Department noted the plane was equipped with tundra retires allowing

768
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 1: for takeoff and landing in the area, which I guess

769
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: are big snow tires. I'm guessing. Yeah. The pilot reports

770
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: having previously landed and taken off from this area over

771
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: oh approximately fifty times. The incident still remains under investigation,

772
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: but it's cooperating. It's just crazy to me that you'd

773
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: be out with a friend on a river kayaking you

774
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: get hit by a plane.

775
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, the most peaceful activity.

776
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: Yes, kayaking. I mean it seems it seems just so unlikely,

777
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,359
Speaker 1: and you gotta you gotta go to Vegas and put

778
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 1: all your money on one roulette spin.

779
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 3: At that point, exactly exactly, you're hell, yeah, you got

780
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 3: something on your side. Whether it's terrible luck or great luck,

781
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 3: it's something you have You ever.

782
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 2: Enjoyed a kayak? No, of course, I've never enjoyed. It's

783
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 2: hell on earth.

784
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know if it's just the shape

785
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 3: of my body, but it just hurts every part of

786
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:50,879
Speaker 3: my body hurts every part.

787
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the way you sit is you never sit

788
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: in like a straight up pike position, and then you're like,

789
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,399
Speaker 1: you know what would make this more uncomfortable? Thrusting your

790
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,320
Speaker 1: body left and then sometimes banging your knuckles on this

791
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: hard plastic. I don't mind a canoe, though, all canoe

792
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: till the sun goes down.

793
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 3: I don't mind a canoe either, but I have to

794
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 3: have a buddy. Canoeing by yourself is no fun.

795
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: You used to have that joke, I think before you

796
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: were married. I had kids that those stickers of the

797
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,919
Speaker 1: families on the back of cars, that it's like mom, dad,

798
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: like the stick figures and it's like three little kids.

799
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 1: You used to have that joke that was just you, right,

800
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 1: I love the joke that you wanted a sticker was

801
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 1: just just one guy, just like just me in here.

802
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,720
Speaker 2: I don't even remember that joke, but I do. I remember.

803
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 3: I do have a joke about canoeing because I was

804
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 3: in Tennessee on tour.

805
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 2: I think I already told it. I have told it

806
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 2: with Marie Bamford.

807
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, but I guess canoeing by yourself is terrible.

808
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 2: Don't do it.

809
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good buddy thing.

810
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 3: No.

811
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: I was in Pensacola Beach in twenty god in two

812
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 1: thousand and one, it was called the Summer of the Shark.

813
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:58,919
Speaker 1: You probably remember this. There were a lot of shark

814
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,879
Speaker 1: attacks that years before. We're nine to eleven, so all

815
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: the news was covering sharks. So it was sometime around

816
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: July fourth. I was with my buddy on his boat.

817
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: We've been drinking bushwhackers all day. Had a great fake

818
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: id from dunk and Oklahoma that I've talked about, and

819
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: so what do you do when you're drunk with your

820
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 1: friend and you have a boat. He was like, We're

821
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 1: gonna go knee boarding at sunset. So I was like, cool, dude.

822
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 1: So we go knee boarding. Knee boarding again, one of

823
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: those things not that pleasant of an experience on the

824
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: open ocean. Sharksks.

825
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,280
Speaker 2: It's just smacking, just smacking your knees.

826
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're like, when this is over, are all

827
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 1: my ligaments torn? Did I have em seals? And so

828
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 1: we're going maybe it wasn't sundown, but we're He's pulling

829
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 1: me behind the boat, you know, universal sign his thumbs

830
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: up to go faster, thumbs down to go slower. I'm

831
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 1: holding onto the tow rope and we see this ambulance

832
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 1: go across the Pensacle bridge over to golf breeze, over

833
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: beach to the golf breeze, like full speed. And I

834
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: was like, what do you think that is? And he's

835
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: like somebody got stabbed in a beach fight. So I

836
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 1: was like, okay. So then we keep going, We're gonna

837
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 1: go under this bridge and we see another ambulance going.

838
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: This one's going even faster. So I'm looking up on

839
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: a kneeboard going I don't know, twenty miles an hour

840
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 1: or whatever, and I see that ambulance rear end a

841
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 1: car and get into an accident, which I'd never seen before.

842
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I've never seen that.

843
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: It was crazy. So then we pass under the bridge

844
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: and my buddy like circles around and we're looking at it.

845
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 1: And so then all these fire trucks and everything are

846
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: going to the scene of an accident on a bridge

847
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 1: of an ambulance with a sirens and lights on rear

848
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: ended a car. So the first ambulance had a boy

849
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 1: in it named Jesse who had gotten attacked on the

850
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 1: beach by a bull shark and got his arm bitten off.

851
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

852
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 1: So they were the first one it goes across gets

853
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,879
Speaker 1: into the hospital. The secuments is taking the arm they

854
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: pulled out of the shark, and so the they it's

855
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: in like a cooler or whatever, and it's racing across

856
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: the bridge. So the arm that needs to get the

857
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: hospital rear ends a car while we're kneeboarding under it.

858
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: Drunken bushwreckers. Oh my so and we think it's something else.

859
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: We don't, so we circle back around. We find that

860
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: out later, and we start going straight and we're heading

861
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,399
Speaker 1: out to Fort Tilden, which is like really far out,

862
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 1: and my friend starts pointing behind me, and he's.

863
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 3: Like, so you're just but you're just at this point,

864
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:17,479
Speaker 3: you're like going places and you're just on a knee board.

865
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: Nice like one man on a boat, one man on

866
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 1: a kneeboard.

867
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 2: So it's not like we're gonna go to a place.

868
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,320
Speaker 3: You'll hop off, get on the koard, kneeboard around a

869
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 3: little bit, then you get back in the boat and

870
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 3: then we'll go home.

871
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 2: It's just like, you stay on the knee board. I'm

872
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:31,439
Speaker 2: gonna take you all the way home.

873
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: I was like eighteen, and it was just like, you

874
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: know what, I got to test the limits of what

875
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,240
Speaker 1: I'm about as a man. Apparently, I went a kneeboard

876
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 1: for three to five miles on the golf breeze sound,

877
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 1: an open channel of water. So we go into the

878
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: bridge and we're heading far out and my buddy starts

879
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,760
Speaker 1: pointing behind me, like really like emphatically, and I'm like, jows,

880
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:52,399
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm gonna get a talk about a shark

881
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 1: like and so I turn around and there's an Apache

882
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: helicopter flying up near us now, so it's low on

883
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: the water and it's going about our speed. So then

884
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 1: my buddy punches it to race this thing. I'm on

885
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:08,359
Speaker 1: the back helpless. So there's a patchy helicopter because there's

886
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: a big Elgin Eldin Air Force Base or whatever is

887
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 1: down there, and so you see stuff like this all

888
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 1: the time down there. But he's low and he's cruising

889
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 1: and there's not that many other boats out there, so

890
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 1: my buddy just gives it full throttle. So I'm holding

891
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 1: on for dear life so fast that I can't give

892
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,720
Speaker 1: a thumbs up or a thumbs down. I'm screaming, slow down,

893
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 1: slow down. You can hear me.

894
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:32,879
Speaker 2: Shark infested waters below you.

895
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 1: Yes, And I don't even know that's happening at this point.

896
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: I'm just like, don't let go, because then you're gonna

897
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,879
Speaker 1: flip upside down, strap to this board and break your notes.

898
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, So the apaches just going parallel

899
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 1: with us, and my friend starts doing the truck like

900
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: honk sign where you pump your fist up and down.

901
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:54,879
Speaker 4: A collection of the dumbest activities I could ever imagine.

902
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:56,359
Speaker 2: I love that that it's.

903
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 1: The only thing to do.

904
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 2: That is the only thing to do, of course.

905
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 1: So I'm panicking. I'm holding on white knuckling this tow

906
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: rope going I don't know, thirty five miles an hour

907
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 1: on the open ocean. My friend's trying to get a

908
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: helicopter to hank its horn. I'm so scared. I'm thinking,

909
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:14,399
Speaker 1: do helicopters have horns? I still don't know to this day,

910
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 1: because then I look over and the apache. I don't

911
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:18,799
Speaker 1: know if it's a pilot. I don't know how many

912
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: people are in those things or the gunner, but they

913
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 1: have giant machine guns on the front of these things.

914
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,919
Speaker 1: And as my buddy is just pumping his trucker honk

915
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:31,359
Speaker 1: your horn sign, it waves the machine gun at us

916
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: and then just accelerates and blows us away. What it

917
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: was so insane, And so I eventually got back on

918
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: where we gunned it back from home, and we're over

919
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: like with his parents and golf breeze eating and they

920
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: were like a boy got his arm bit off, and

921
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 1: there was a crash and there's an accident and all

922
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 1: of that happened. All of that happened within four minutes.

923
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

924
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: And it was it was July sixth, two thousand and one.

925
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:02,280
Speaker 1: The last time I've ever need born Scotty.

926
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 2: I don't know.

927
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,879
Speaker 3: I feel like I feel like Heaven continued for you

928
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 3: past that zoo day. You know what I feel like,

929
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 3: that's another little slice of heaven.

930
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: Ah. Okay, maybe alcohol helps sometimes all good decision making.

931
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 1: I wonder if Russ, if you listen to this. You

932
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: were there, you were driving the boat, you almost killed me,

933
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 1: and we got in a patchy to wave at us.

934
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 1: What a great day, What a great day day Not

Speaker 2: Brady, thank you.

946
00:47:56,840 --> 00:48:02,439
Speaker 3: This is on CNN, Written by Lauren M. Johnson's good God,

947
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 3: she's great Kayak. This is just a feel good piece

948
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 3: kind of things up Kayak. Finally, Kayak Court provides the

949
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 3: homeless with access to legal services in Salt Lake City.

950
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 2: Okay, I will tell you what this is Kayak Court.

951
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 3: So yeah, so apparently there's a enormous amount of like

952
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 3: homeless encampments along this river outside Salt Lake City, which

953
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 3: is the river is a Jordan Let me see here

954
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 3: we are, yeah, the Jordan River and so uh. Kayak

955
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 3: Court was named by Judge Jeene Robinson and her friend Kim.

956
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 2: Russo, who is a social worker.

957
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 3: They frequently kayak down the Jordan River where there are

958
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 3: several camps for people experiencing homelessness. Robinson said she and

959
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 3: Russo bounced around the idea of creating a court that

960
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 3: goes to these encampments to help them resolve citations and

961
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 3: other legal issues. The unsheltered who live there in the

962
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 3: camps rarely step into a court room to resolve the issues.

963
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 3: It was kind of a half joking statement, but we

964
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 3: began to think more about and said, wow, this could

965
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:07,360
Speaker 3: be really cool.

966
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

967
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,359
Speaker 3: To get this idea to work, the women employed the

968
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:13,240
Speaker 3: help of Michelle Houon and Alison Dupler of the Salt

969
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:18,839
Speaker 3: Lake City Housing Stability. The women brought in volunteers, public defenders,

970
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 3: defense attorneys, judges in their district, and court administrators. And

971
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 3: we understand quote, we understand having warrants and open cases

972
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 3: can be barriers to self sufficiency. Robinson said, when we

973
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 3: hit this population at the right time, when they're in

974
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 3: the position where they're ready to make changes, we can

975
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 3: help them make these positive changes and move towards self sufficiency.

976
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:43,320
Speaker 3: So they literally kayak up to these camps find people

977
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 3: who have like public urination things that have just gone

978
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 3: for so long that they've become like, you know, they're

979
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:52,799
Speaker 3: they're they're they're going to be in trouble for them,

980
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 3: you know, and you know they can't get jobs and

981
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 3: stuff like that because they have this stuff on their

982
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:58,320
Speaker 3: record and they're just like, you want to clear it

983
00:49:58,400 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 3: up right now, And they're like, yes, I want to

984
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 3: clear it up right now.

985
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:02,400
Speaker 2: The judge is on a fucking kayak.

986
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 3: Wow, they have an attorney present who can defend them,

987
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 3: and then they have the state and then they just

988
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:09,440
Speaker 3: do it all right there and they clear it up.

989
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 1: Amazing, this is the best they need to do this idea. Yes,

990
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:16,760
Speaker 1: oh my god.

991
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 3: Like and for like bigger cases, like they'll actually get

00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 3: a they just have an iPad with a judge on

00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 3: the iPad who just like does for like district court cases.
