00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 2: which I have some questions about, and this is top

20
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: secret info. She's an excellent interior designer, which a lot

21
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: of people don't know about. Not professional, but could be professional.

00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 5: Bridges, thanks for having me, Scottie.

24
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: Wella way, Choe, so you did graduate from Columbia this

25
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: during this Great Choar I did.

26
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 5: Just a couple of weeks ago, I finished my very

27
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 5: last class knock on wood. I'm like having a weird

28
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 5: paranoia where I'm scared they're going to like contact me

29
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 5: and be like, just kidding, you didn't finish these.

30
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: Credits, and I'm like, no, I had that I did.

31
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 2: I never checked to see if I was graduating, and

32
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: I had a mad, like an anxiety attack. On the

33
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: day to pick up the cap and gown. I walked

34
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: into the bookstore wherever you did it, and it wasn't

35
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: until the moment that they were like, can I see

36
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: your student idea and I handed them that also went

37
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: oh my god, I don't know if I'm graduating. And

38
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 2: then I was on the list and they gave me

39
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: my cap and gown. But I had never checked my credits.

40
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 2: I just took a bunch of classes and was like,

41
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 2: I'll get there. And it freaked me out.

42
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 6: So how did graduation go?

43
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: Like?

44
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 6: What was the event?

45
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,839
Speaker 5: So that's the other thing that made it feel even

46
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 5: weirder because I had to graduate before I had actually

47
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 5: finished my classes because graduation's only in May. But I

48
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 5: wasn't done yet, so I was like, it's either do

49
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 5: it this May a few months ago, or wait until

50
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 5: the following May, which I was like, that's just too long.

51
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 4: This is ridiculous.

52
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 5: So I did the whole quarantine graduation, which was extremely boring.

53
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 4: I mean, like, why did I even wake up for this?

54
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 4: This is so weird.

55
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 5: You're just watching like someone you never heard of or

56
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 5: before speak to get like a speech, and you're just

57
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 5: in your living room at eight am because with the

58
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 5: time change too, it's like it's an eleven am graduation.

59
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 4: But I'm on the West.

60
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 5: Coast and it's in New York, so I'm just half

61
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 5: asleep watching watching my computer.

62
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 6: You know, then it's not that different from the graduation.

63
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 6: They are boring as fuck.

64
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 5: Well then, grant, I'm glad I got the full experience

65
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 5: and didn't even know it.

66
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: Did they send you a cap and do they put

67
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 2: your picture on screen?

68
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 4: Like?

69
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: What is a virtual graduation these days?

70
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 7: Yeah?

71
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 5: You you had to like basically order your capping down

72
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 5: in advance, take a photo in it, and if you

73
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 5: wanted to be shown to make your photo, Itch Soto,

74
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 5: it's just a photo of you.

75
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 4: And then we all did it thinking like oh.

76
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 5: They'll definitely do a slide show, and they didn't. They

77
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 5: just said everyone's up on the website if you want

78
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 5: to check, and then you have to go on the

79
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 5: website and look at yourself.

80
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 4: And I'm like, well, this I true? This truly? Was

81
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 4: it worth it?

82
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 5: At least with a slides that you wait and you like,

83
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 5: wait for yourself and maybe you'll see a friend or two.

84
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 5: But yeah, why would I want to just go on

85
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 5: the website and look at a photo of myself.

86
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 4: I can do that on Instagram.

87
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: Yeah you don't. That's like classmates dot com. Shit. Everybody's like,

88
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: is that still a site? We my friends and I

89
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 2: were running so late for our graduation and it was huge.

90
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: It was the whole university. It wasn't by department that

91
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 2: we hitchhiked, and so I run in the back of

92
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 2: a pickup truck with a few of my friends to

93
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: our football stadium. And then my good buddy Skip didn't

94
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: get a cap. They ran out of caps, so he

95
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 2: folded the program into a paper hat, and then they

96
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 2: didn't have a gold tassel. I know, you know, four

97
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 2: or five years of school, all that tuition and then

98
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 2: you just get a paper hat and then so we

99
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 2: were like, well, let's go in last. We like avoided

100
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 2: our school and so Skip gets a We were like

101
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: communication and he got a pink tassel which was either

102
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: like dance or nurse. It was like something okay to

103
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 2: you know, you get it. Yeah, but uh so we

104
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: walk in and we're like, let's be last one. So

105
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 2: whatever the graduating class was, I will maybe eight thousand people.

106
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 2: I have no idea. We were the last like seven

107
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 2: to walk through, and we didn't sit down. We just

108
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 2: put our hands in the air and just waved to

109
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 2: the masses, and then we kept doing running jump high

110
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: fives so many times that they put us on the

111
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 2: cover of the Boston Globe because this guy that we

112
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 2: didn't know that well, I think his name is Felix,

113
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 2: just took a sign from one of the departments and

114
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 2: started waving it over his head like, I don't know,

115
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 2: like bravehearts.

116
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 4: That's amazing.

117
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, And then I didn't hear one speech, had no

118
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 2: idea when we were announced, So Kurt is right, totally boring.

119
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: But we just did jumping high fives for forty five

120
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 2: minutes and stuff.

121
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 5: That's very cool. I'm glad you got some press out

122
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 5: of it too.

123
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's always about press.

124
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 8: You want to hear.

125
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: You want to hear something that's more exciting than graduating

126
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: or ceremonies. Graduating's excitement excitings. Graduation ceremonies are boring. So

127
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: this is yes, solar powered robot wolves set to help

128
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: Japanese farmers.

129
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 6: That is the that's the that's the Sun.

130
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: First off, thank you very much to Disney Dependent for

131
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,239
Speaker 1: sending this in. I don't know what that name means.

132
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're dependent upon Disney or if

133
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: their parent is Disney and they are a dependent of Disney.

134
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,679
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but thank you so much for sending

135
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: it in. This was the title from the Sun, A

136
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: solar powered robot wolf set to help Japanese farmer scare

137
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: away wild boars. But surprise, surprise, The Sun doesn't have

138
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: as good an article as BBC. BBC is but the

139
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: but the title isn't is great.

140
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 6: It's kind of great.

141
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: Super monster wolf a success in japan farming trials.

142
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 4: Wow.

143
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: Yes, so here it is a robot wolf designed. Okay,

144
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: so this is from the BBC. This is written by

145
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: It's called by News from Elsewhere. ANBC monitoring, okay, sounds

146
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: like a robot put it together. A robot wolves or

147
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: designed to protect farms has proved to be such a

148
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: success and trials that is going into mass production next month.

149
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 6: The quote super monster Wolf.

150
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: Is a sixty five centimeter long fifty centimeter tall robot

151
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: animal covered with realistic looking fur, featuring huge white fangs

152
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: and flashing red eyes. Asahi Television reports it's been designed

153
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: to keep wild boar away from rice and chestnut crops,

154
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: and was deployed on a trial basis near Kizaratsu City

155
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: in Japan's eastern Chiba Prefecture last July. When it detects

156
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: an approaching animal, its eyes light up and it starts

157
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: to howl, Asahi TV says. The manufacturers say the robot

158
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: wolf uses solar rechargeable batteries and has a range of

159
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: howl noises so that animals threats don't get used to it.

160
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 2: Yeah cool.

161
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to put a picture up on the Instagram

162
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: of it.

163
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 6: It is fucking terrifying looking.

164
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: Its eyes glow bright red like a demon wolf, like

165
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: a and it looks like the face looks like like

166
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: a halloween mask of a wolf. It doesn't look like

167
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: a wolf in any real way. It's just like a

168
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: Halloween mask with like glowing red eyes.

169
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 6: But it is terrifying. But it really really works.

170
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: They said it has an effective radius of about one kilometer,

171
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: suggesting it's more effective than an electric fence.

172
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 6: Beforehand.

173
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: Farmers around Kiratsu were giving were resigned to giving up

174
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: at least part of their crops to wild boars every year.

175
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: They's been a noticeable decrease. Who knew the wild boars

176
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: love chestnuts?

177
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 2: Who I know? Though? They they like that's so weird,

178
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 2: and they're super aggressive and they're pretty smart, and they're

179
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 2: fast and they breed like crazy. It's wild boars.

180
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they love getting naked men's laptops.

181
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 2: In Germany, yeah, we had a lot of people. There

182
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 2: was a story of Chloe about this like a nudist plant,

183
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 2: nudest colony, and a boar just runs over and hooks

184
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 2: the sky's bag and it had his laptop in it

185
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 2: and then just runs away. And then this naked giant

186
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 2: German large man chas ism fully nude. Thanks everybody sent

187
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 2: that in. But they're like Chloe's from Louisiana. They have

188
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 2: nutria there. Did you ever see neutrio growing up.

189
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 5: Oh no, we did go on one field trip once

190
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 5: to the swamp. There were a lot of swamp field trips. Yeah,

191
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 5: and we were supposed to be like learning about the wildlife.

192
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 5: And I guess maybe I saw a nutrient. Maybe I

193
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 5: just pretended to. You know, when you're on a you're

194
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 5: not really paying attention.

195
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 6: So neutrient is like a giant giant rat.

196
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, I think so.

197
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 5: And I mean I didn't learn a lot that day,

198
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 5: but the message I got was definitely they're not good

199
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 5: and they messed things up.

200
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 4: We do not like them.

201
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, they breathed super quick. They're invasive. But also it's

202
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 2: cool that like regions. I mean, it's obvious, but it's

203
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 2: cool that regions have regional field trips, Like Kurt, where

204
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 2: did you go in high school? Where was like every

205
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 2: year they were like put them in the bus.

206
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 6: Washington, DC?

207
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 2: Me too, Yep, I've been doing so many times. I

208
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 2: could give tours in the Air and Space Museum and

209
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 2: the Smithsonian, and everybody wanted to go with the rich

210
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 2: kids moms because they would buy everybody astronaut ice cream, and.

211
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: Ice cream was the fucking most. It was the only

212
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: reason to go to the Smithsonian.

213
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really was.

214
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 4: Is that like or is that like actual astronaut ice cream?

215
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 6: Who really knows? It's dehydrated?

216
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, ice cream, So it's like a so it tastes

217
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: very much like ice cream, but it's dry and hard,

218
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: so you put it in your mouth and it immediately

219
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: becomes ice cream.

220
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 6: It's pretty fascinating.

221
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: But apparently it's made for astronauts, but I do like it.

222
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 6: Imagine that it's different.

223
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: Dots Dippin' Dots really called itself the future of ice

224
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: cream for so long and now it's just only sold

225
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: a gas stations.

226
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a brief. It was the future. It

227
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 2: just was a brief, six to eight year future. I

228
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 2: thought it was pretty good.

229
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 6: I recently got it. It's delicious.

230
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 2: How big was your high school, Cloye? How big was

231
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 2: your graduating class?

232
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 4: Pretty big.

233
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 5: I went to school Burbank, which is a suburb of

234
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 5: LA For people who don't know, and you went to.

235
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 2: School in Louisiana, I'm an idiot.

236
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 5: I went to school in Louisiana until I was thirteen,

237
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 5: and then I moved to LA. Oh, so my Bourbank

238
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 5: experience was not probably as interesting as my new Orleans experience,

239
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 5: but I liked it better.

240
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, did I ever talk about this? I love Louisiana

241
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: is such a It's one I think the most like

242
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 1: weirdo states in the country. Yes, did I ever talk

243
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: about this on the about the Maybe I'm repeating myself,

244
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 1: and I if I am, I apologize.

245
00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 6: But it was outside of New Orleans. I think I

246
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 6: was playing Lafayette.

247
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: I was driving from New Orleans to Lafayette and I

248
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: stopped at a gas station that was not only it

249
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: was a gas station. The inside you could buy like

250
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: a katana sword and also go next door to the casino.

251
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: There was a casino there. And this is like a

252
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: small gas station, it's not big. You go next door

253
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: to a casino, you could gamble, and then there was

254
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: a drive through margarita Mia. Yeah, so you could literally

255
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: go to a gas station, get gas, gamble, buy a katana,

256
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 1: and then drive away with a.

257
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 6: Margarita or like a dakori. Just like that.

258
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: You could drink while driving. It's fucking an amazing state.

259
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 5: I have to say, I've never seen a katana, but

260
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 5: I can testify to every other part of that.

261
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 4: Story is after it.

262
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 5: Yes, lots of seven elevens that also have a giant casino,

263
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 5: and the casino is obviously like way nicer than the

264
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 5: seven eleven. Yeah, and you're like, wow, they put a

265
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 5: lot of money into this little casino next to the station,

266
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 5: or literally connected to It's it's the same building. It's

267
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 5: just that one side of the building is a little

268
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 5: nicer than the other side.

269
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 2: Cool. The gambling is like an impulse by in Louisiana too.

270
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 2: It's like it's like how at Ikea they weave you

271
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 2: through the dollar section before you're at the registers. In Louisiana,

272
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 2: it's like you came in to get a mountain dew.

273
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 2: We know you're gonna have a quarter left over. Come

274
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 2: come on, strike gold triple sevens. You can do it.

275
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 4: Lose it here and then get a dacrate for the road.

276
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 2: And celebrate with the dacre and they'll give you an

277
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 2: extra lid so if you get pulled over, you put

278
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 2: a fresh lid on, so it is as if you

279
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 2: hadn't drunk it all these cool laws.

280
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Scott, to give me another one.

281
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 2: I got one. And this is in honor of Chloe

282
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 2: graduating to another woman that graduated. Here's the headline. This

283
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 2: is from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, written by Jim Stingle.

284
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 2: I think it's stingle s t I n g l uh.

285
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 6: And if that ain't stangle, I don't. I don't want to.

286
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 6: I don't want to Mingle.

287
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 2: You just got stung by the Stingle Sarah. And this

288
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 2: was sent in by s. J. Nelligan on DMS. So

289
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 2: thank you very much, Sarah. Yes, her name really is

290
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 2: Marijuana Pepsi, but now you can call her doctor Marijuana Pepsi.

291
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: So yes, I know this one and I love doctor

292
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: Marijuana Pepsi.

293
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 8: Was that a first and last names?

294
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 2: That is her birth name? So a few years back,

295
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 2: an incoming freshman vowed that she would go on to

296
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 2: get her master's degree and then a doctor. Quote, I'm

297
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 2: going to be called doctor Marijuana Pepsi, she declared. Well

298
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 2: she did all that and more because despite maybe having

299
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 2: a druggy sugary name, come on, Jim Stingle, that she

300
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 2: was given it birth. She embraced her name and proudly graduated.

301
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: He wrote. So Jim wrote an article that went viral

302
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 2: years ago about when Marijuana Pepsi got her masters and

303
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 2: then last month, after eight years of studying and commuting.

304
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: She scored a PhD in Higher Learning Leadership from Cardinal

305
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 2: Stretch University in Milwaukee. Pretty amazing. So he caught back

306
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 2: up with her. I know, it's so cool. So she

307
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 2: works full time and she's also the greatest lady. Like

308
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 2: this article I had to condense. It's not she wasn't

309
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 2: just born with the greatest name on earth. She's backed

310
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 2: it up. So she works full time at I guess

311
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 2: it's bell Walk College. Maybe it's Beloit College, as director

312
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 2: of program that serves students who are first generation enrollies,

313
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 2: who come from low income families or have learning our

314
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 2: physical disabilities. She's a saint. She also owns Action as Empowerment,

315
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 2: which is a performance coaching business that runs retreats and

316
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,120

Speaker 2: Congratulations to doctor Marijuana. Pepsi uh And here's interesting facts marijuana.

321
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 2: Miss doctor Marijuana has never smoked or vaped or ingested

322
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 2: her namesake drug. When she was asked about it, she said,

323
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 2: my main concern are the individuals serving time for marijuana

324
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 2: related offenses. Hell, yeah, exactly. I would like to see

325
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 2: all their sentences overturned. These people were locked up for

326
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 2: making money from the sale of marijuana. I know she's uh,

327
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 2: and now the government has figured out a way to

328
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 2: make money for themselves.

329
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 8: Uh.

330
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 2: And she doesn't drink either, uh doctor marijuana Pepsi is

331
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 2: also a teetotaler. When anybody urges her to try alcohol

332
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 2: is a way to relax, she says, quote, I feel great.

333
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 2: I party with drunk people and you can't tell us apart. Ye,

334
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 2: she's so cool.

335
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: Also, I think that her thesis and correct Me from

336
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: wrong Scotti is about the disadvantage given to people with

337
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: unusual names and unusual means like not like tradition.

338
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 6: Like John yeah Sarah, yeah Yeah.

339
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 2: It's basically she specialized in how names that sound black

340
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 2: are are treated different from professors and institutions than white

341
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 2: sounding names. And somebody born marijuana pepsi, which honestly doesn't

342
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 2: sound like any ethnicity.

343
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 4: That just I've never heard the last name pepsi, you know, just.

344
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 2: Sounds like a really nice Saturday afternoon. And she also

345
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 2: doesn't drink pepsi or any other soda except for an

346
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 2: occasional fruity so to drink in an ice cream float.

347
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 4: So nice.

348
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 2: Congratulations to doctor Marijuana Pepsi one of my favorite all

349
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 2: time names.

350
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

351
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 5: I like this story too because it I feel like

352
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 5: there's this when people are named something non traditional or

353
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 5: kind of weird. People are like, oh, you're screwing up

354
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 5: your kid.

355
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 4: Oh, this is a bad idea. Why would you that?

356
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,959
Speaker 5: But turns out how a weird name can actually make

357
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 5: you even more driven. It almost sounds like she's out

358
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 5: here achieving all these things because of the nests.

359
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: So many episodes ago, we had this story from New

360
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: Zealand where this judge had ruled that like all these names,

361
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: like there's a girl named Tallula does the hula from

362
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: Hawaii and she wanted to be named like Sarah or something,

363
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: and so the judge made it so that she could

364
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: be named sir and agreed, if you don't like your name,

365
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: you should be able to change it.

366
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 6: The judge was a piece of shit about it.

367
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 1: And I do think that it's like I do think

368
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: that when there's judgments mad made on names, it can

369
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 1: be from cultural bias, do you know what I mean?

370
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: But also like some of the names were looney tunes,

371
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: Like one of them was Benson and Hedges for twins,

372
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: So it is.

373
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 6: Like it was like, that's a very funny day.

374
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: But I think Winson and Hedges probably are going to

375
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: do great things one day.

376
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, we had a bananimal write in. She is a teacher.

377
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 2: She listened to the Aaron Hayes episode and we mentioned

378
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 2: a bunch of those names and she is currently teaching

379
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 2: twins named Divide and Conquer. Really really yeah, that's real.

380
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 2: And to that Bananimal, I don't have your name on hand,

381
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 2: but I will. I will make it up to you somehow,

382
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 2: I promise.

383
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

384
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 5: I bet people have a lot of fun with twins.

385
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 5: Lots of things you can do there.

386
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, as long as it doesn't rhyme. And it's like,

387
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 2: don't dress them alike, let them, give them a chance

388
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 2: to be an individual. But it never turns out that way. Kurt,

389
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 2: do you want to tease us into a little commercial break, Curdie.

Speaker 1: I think.

399
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 6: We're gonna have to. I think it's time to talk

400
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 6: about the banana phone.

401
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's bring up the banana phone.

402
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: Uh so uh, Mint and Mobile has sponsored us.

403
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 6: I don't even know if their ads start running out,

404
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 6: I don't know, maybe they won't be it. Maybe they

405
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 6: just said there probably will.

406
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter. We got the phone, doesn't matter.

407
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so Mint Mobile has given us free service

408
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: for a year.

409
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 6: So now we have a banana phone. Scotty has it?

410
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 6: What's the phone number?

411
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 2: Scotty?

412
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: For great question, we'll post it on Instagram. We'll post

413
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 1: it on Instagram. And Scotty, I don't know if you're

414
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: still up for doing this, but you said that you

415
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: would answer the phone and listen to what people had

416
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 1: to say for exactly one minute.

417
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 2: Yes, so I would say we should handle this banana

418
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 2: phone from Mint Mobile one way, very specific well, two ways.

419
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 2: We should leave a voicemail any time. I'm probably going

420
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 2: to turn the phone off when I'm working. That sort

421
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 2: of thing. I got, would you Cocker? You got the number.

422
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 6: I have the number.

423
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys ready for it. Here's the Banana phone

424
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 1: phone number. You can call it or text it whenever

425
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: you want. This is probably a terrible idea. Yeah, I

426
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: really shouldn't be doing this. The number is two one

427
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 1: three two one four seven nine seven four. Again, the

428
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: Banana phone is two one three two one four seven

429
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: nine seven four. Scotty will answer it when he's not working. Yes,

430
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: and listen to whatever you have to say for one minute,

431
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: and then hang up on you abruptly.

432
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 2: Yes, so it won't be rude. You already know in advance.

433
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 2: I will say hello, I will talk to you. I

434
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 2: will talk to anybody who hand me the phone, and

435
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 2: then I'm going to set an egg timer and when

436
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 2: it dings, I'm just going to push hang ups.

437
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: So has nothing to do with you. It's just the

438
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: rules of the Banana phone.

439
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:15,959
Speaker 2: We only have so many minutes. I mean, it's not

440
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 2: it's our third it's the banana phone. It can't just

441
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 2: have it. I'll be up all night. It's not like

442
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 2: a fire department. But also, if you have crazy hometown stories,

443
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 2: if we call out about anything where we're like tell

444
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 2: us about like a lot of you guys did great

445
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 2: sort of first dates or things that happened to you,

446
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 2: those things, if we ever do them for minis. It's

447
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 2: feel free to leave voicemails for us. We'll check them

448
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 2: as much as we can, and I.

449
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 6: Will text them too. It's a lot easier if you tell.

450
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 2: Text me I don't. I don't have a number of

451
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 2: text I'll send back. I would say a reasonable amount.

452
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 2: And please no nudity. Let's keep this. Uh, don't take

453
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 2: pictures of dead bodies or your toilet, just the nude.

454
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: Very bananas are fine. Unpeeled bananas suggestively unpeeled.

455
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 2: Yes, anyways, all right, yeah, we have a banana phone,

456
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 2: so let's get back into it.

457
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 6: I'm very excited about this. I feel so giddy.

458
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: I feel like when you first like, did you guys

459
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,560

Speaker 1: What's not like a real that we were just because

470
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: voicemail messages were such like a new thing to leave,

471
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: like a dumb to leave, like a dumb outgoing voicemail,

472

Speaker 1: like answering machine. Message was oh, that was like a

473
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: nineties art form. I would say, yes, how was when

474
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: did you? How old were you when you got a

475
00:23:58,480 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: cell phone?

476
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 4: This is embarrassing, but the fourth grade?

477
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 6: Fourth grade, so that is nine.

478
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 4: That's young for anyone.

479
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 5: But I was an only child and had a single mother,

480
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 5: and she wanted to know where I Wasn't I get it.

481
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 5: I get it, but it looks like it looks like

482
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 5: I was being fancy. It was like, oh my god, Chloe,

483
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 5: is a cell phone?

484
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 2: Was it like a sidekick? Was it? Was it a razor?

485
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: No?

486
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 5: I don't think those existed yet, early Nokias with the

487
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 5: snake on it. It was actually a great first phone

488
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 5: because there isn't much you can do anyway.

489
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 2: Yes, kids are going back to it these days. It's

490
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 2: like it's like how when I was in college, you

491
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 2: would get a Zach Morris phone and it would be like,

492
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 2: isn't this funny? This is an old block, brick cell phone.

493
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 2: And now it's like people get that blue Nokia that

494
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 2: we all had, and it's like you can buy them

495
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 2: on eBay right now.

496
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,320

Speaker 6: It's a cell phone for a child, which is just

502
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 6: a square.

503
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: It's just like a cube that the child that you like,

504
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: clip to the child and the only thing that it

505
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: can do is can it can call the parent's phone

506
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: and it just has one button and then it's just

507

00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: Kevin Lapointe, still has charges pending over the same incidents.

538
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: He was also recognized thanks to the same set of

539
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: surveillance cameras.

540
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 6: Yep, they just ran away.

541
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: But anyway, it's just it's a perfect They also in

542
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: their in their photos, they've put like a sheet around

543
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 1: their necks. So, okay, see what they're wearing. Is that

544
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 1: a thing I've never even seen that before. Usually you

545
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: see what the person's wearing. This is maybe because it

546
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: says I pooped today.

547
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 2: You mean in their mugshots.

548
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 1: In their mugshots, yeah, they both have like bed sheets

549
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: wrapped around their neck.

550
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 2: It's very weird. Like a well Simsburg hipster. In two

551
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 2: thousand and six, IM okay, lessons learned. When you rob

552
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 2: a place that has security cameras, maybe just be is

553
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 2: incan conspicuous as possible. I used to wait tables in

554
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 2: Brooklyn and the bar were all retired cops and criminals,

555
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 2: and they would get hammered and by the end of

556
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 2: the night there were some great stories. And I used

557
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 2: to just ask these older guys. I'd be like, what

558
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 2: was like, what's the dumbest thing you've ever seen? And

559
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 2: they would tell me these amazing stories. But this old cop, Bobby,

560
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 2: retired cop, used to be like, Scottie, if you wear gloves,

561
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 2: you're getting away with it. I was like, oh my god.

562
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 2: I mean he was in the seventies and eighties, but yeah,

563
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 2: he was like, he's like most criminals don't wear gloves.

564
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 2: If you wear it, you will get Yeah. So maybe wow,

565
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 2: maybe turn that I pooped to the shirt inside out

566
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 2: and backwards. Maybe a god.

567
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 5: I also love the irony of somebody like the thing

568
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 5: he was going to get with security cameras.

569
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 4: You would think somebody's obsessed with security.

570
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you don't know, a little more interested in

571
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 5: things like dressing for the crime, being undercover.

572
00:28:58,360 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 4: Like I don't know, he.

573
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: Was stealing the thing that got him caught, which is amazing.

574
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 2: That is cool.

575
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 6: Yeah.

576
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 2: Oh man.

577
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 6: I remember once in high school.

578
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: I went to a Catholic boys' school CBA Christian Brothers

579
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: Academy in line Off, New Jersey, and we had to

580
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: we had a dress code we had to wear. I

581
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: was very strict. It was run by brothers I would

582
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: call the monks, but they're not really monks. They're just

583
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: they are dorkier than monks. And the and the vice

584
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: principal was this line by X linebacker. He was an

585
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: ex Green Bay packer I.

586
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 2: Believe, uh.

587
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: He was probably six six and like three d and

588
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: fifty pounds. Like the dude was fucking huge and he

589
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: would beat the ship out of students all the time, like.

590
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 6: When he was the vice principal school. Yeah, the vice

591
00:29:59,000 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 6: principal was.

592
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 2: Are tough. Vice principles are always like the enforcers.

593
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's intense too when this dude is like

594
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: cause I was six, I'm six y four. I was

595
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: six four then, but very scrawny. And at one point,

596
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: like here, I remember him picking me up, buy my

597
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: shirt and like slamming me into a corner and be

598
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna kick your fucking ass. Like and that

599
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: was anyway, this all goes to because I wore a

600
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: shirt we had one day a year that we didn't

601
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: that it was called like dressed down fucking Friday or whatever,

602
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: and we didn't have to wear a shirt and tie,

603
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: and so I decided that I would wear this the

604
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: only rock band T shirt I had ever purchased, which

605
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: was from my very first rock and roll show that

606
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: I ever saw by myself, which was Ned's Atomic dust

607
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: Bin and and Jesus Jones and I think emf at

608
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: Month College in nineteen ninety two or one day, and

609
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: it said if you missed neds a time dustbin and

610
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: then on the back it just said then.

611
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 8: You fucked up and.

612
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,120

00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 6: Across the back.

614
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: And I honestly wore it thinking I could get away

615
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: with it, And within like two minutes of arriving at class,

616
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: like I was up against a locker with like an

617
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: arm at my throat and then I had to like

618
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: just wear a jacket over the shirt the whole day.

619
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 6: But I love that that.

620
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: Like, as a sixteen year old, I was like, I'm

621
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: totally gonna get.

622
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 4: Away with this, hearing nobody notice.

623
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 6: Nobody will even notice.

624
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 2: I'll just be cool. It was.

625
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,880

00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 2: I bet we can find that. That's a natsy shirt.

632
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,719
Speaker 2: We can find that. We can dig that up. I

633
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 2: love looking up vintage beer shirts and shiit, we can

634
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 2: find that shirt for sure. Our school, my high school band,

635
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 2: Big Johnson T shirts, Chloyd, do you even know what

636
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 2: that is? Big Johnson, Kurt, do you know what that is?

637
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 2: I remember it was huge in Maryland. It was huge.

638
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 6: I was embarrassed for it then.

639
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, So weirdly in the nineties there were two. There

640
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 2: was co Ed Naked and then Big Johnson. Co Ed

641
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 2: Naked would be anything co ed naked, soccer coded naked,

642
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 2: baseball coded naked, and it was like a brand and

643
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 2: it kinda they would have like I think Absolute Vodka

644
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 2: was kind of blowing up at the time, So the

645
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 2: idea was like it would show like two people naked

646
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 2: holding and Marylyn the cross sticks, and then it would

647
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 2: have some like catchy little under loog lines underneath about

648
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 2: like it was naughty. Those got banned, and then Big

649
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 2: Johnson was a nerdy little dude who apparently had it

650
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 2: was a cartoon character who had a giant penis, and

651
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 2: all the ads were like Big Johnson's Hunting Lodge, Big

652
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 2: Johnson's Bar, and Grill Big And it wasn't like a business,

653
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 2: it was just like a spokesperson. Yeah, and then it

654
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 2: would be these extremely like cartoonishly busted women like hanging

655
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 2: It's like yeah, and then like Big John's it was

656
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 2: like where's Waldo with a monster cock basically, and they

657
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 2: were like So those got banned and people would wear

658
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 2: them on the first day of school every year and

659
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 2: instance get kicked out. It was weirdly popular in Maryland.

660
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 2: But at the same time, there was this click of

661
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 2: dudes in my high school. This was like Black Street.

662
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 2: That song No Diggity was really popular, and Joe to

663
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 2: See and Drew Hill, They're all these sort of it

664
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 2: was like a big explosions arb and soul, especially in

665
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 2: North Baltimore, and there was this group of like white

666
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 2: dudes and black dudes. There were friends that would wear

667
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 2: silk shirts fully unbuttoned. They all had like abs. They

668
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 2: were all like shredded dudes, like super tight like jeans,

669
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 2: but they were just walk down the hall with like

670
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,719
Speaker 2: flowing open never got kicked school, never once, Like for

671
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 2: some reason Baltimore because it didn't have like implying that

672
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 2: a nerd had a giant ding dong or that athletic

673
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:13,280
Speaker 2: team was getting naked together. And so I just remember

674
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 2: being like, I don't understand life. I don't understand what

675
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 2: this is going to be from here on out.

676
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 4: So you can't.

677
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 5: Portray nudity on your shirt, but you can be actually nude.

678
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were just cruised down, Yeah, just a little bit.

679
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 2: I was like five four and ninth grade and six

680
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 2: two and tenth grade, So like puberty hadn't hit when

681
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 2: these guys were walking by me, and I'm like, oh damn,

682
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 2: I'm going to die alone.

683
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 4: What would hope for me?

684
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: What was like the breaking the rules thing that happened

685
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: at your high school? Cloying like people would do, or

686
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: they're just like, I'm totally gonna get away with this.

687
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:53,240
Speaker 5: I hate Oh my gosh, I don't know. I didn't

688
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 5: really know those people. I was on the show choir, Okay,

689
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 5: so I assume.

690
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 4: They were doing things that I will and invited to.

691
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 2: But so choir is what like song and dance theater kids.

692
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like Glee. It's like that whole thing. In fact,

693
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 5: my show choir was in the pilot of Glee. Really

694
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 5: like the tiniest residuals, like just the smallest sliver of

695
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 5: residuals from like my entire choir being featured in Glee.

696
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,720
Speaker 2: Oh that's so funny, that's great.

697
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

698
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 2: So I don't know, is that a prestigious I mean

699
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 2: it's Burbank, so you're you're la adjacent, You're right there.

700
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 2: So was it like a thing like you had audition?

701
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 2: It's like a kid.

702
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, we would have auditions every year and they were

703
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 5: fairly competitive.

704
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:45,879
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Yeah, that's so fun, because I bet

705
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 2: it was so nerve wracking. I bet you took it so.

706
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 2: I remember even doing plays back then, like when you're young,

707
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 2: you're just like I want to be great. I want

708
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:53,280
Speaker 2: to be great so bad.

709
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 4: Yes, it was a big deal.

710
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 5: What choir you got into, way way bigger of a

711
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 5: deal than it should have because they were four and

712
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 5: you got placed based on how good you were.

713
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,720
Speaker 4: There was a show separate show choirs.

714
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, holy shit, Oh my god.

715
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: That level of competition. Yeah for a teenager, but.

716
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 5: Like clear tears, like they were called advanced mixed and

717
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 5: like intermediate mixed and like advanced women, and you would

718
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 5: get placed based on like essentially how you did in

719
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 5: the audition.

720
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 4: It was, you know, could be.

721
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 6: Oh my god, if that is that is so much pressure.

722
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 6: I yeah, like, y freak, I am. I would have

723
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 6: freaked out. I would have left. I would have left school.

724
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 6: I can't handle it. I cannot do it. That's got

725
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 6: to give us another one.

726
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 2: Okay, here's a good one that we got sent a

727
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,960

Speaker 2: Beth aka c David's ninety one on Instagram. Thank you

729
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 2: for sending this in. This is from the BBC News.

730
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 2: We love the BBC News. Here headline goes a little

731
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:01,720
Speaker 2: something like this man up part of house while chasing

732
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 2: a fly show a man has blown up part of

733
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 2: his house. Blowing up. Blowing up your own house is

734
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 2: the funniest could do. I mean, not intentionally. Unintentionally, God,

735
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 2: that's funny. Okay. So a man has blown up part

736
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 2: of his house in France while trying to swat and fly.

737
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 2: This one has an ending that I have a comment

738
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:30,760
Speaker 2: on as well. The man who is in his eighties. Yes,

739
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 2: still hates him after all these years. You think after

740
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,800
Speaker 2: eighty years you're like flies exist? I exist.

741
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 5: No, I'm going to keep hating till I die. I

742
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 5: know that I really relate to this man.

743
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 4: Actually, I think as.

744
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 6: You get older they annoy you more.

745
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 2: God. Well, I hope not.

746
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's not news for me at all. I'll spend

747
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 4: a full hour chasing water around my house.

748
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 2: Well, don't do what he did, which is very bizarre.

749
00:37:58,440 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 2: The man who was in his eighties was about to

750
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 2: tuck into his dinner. Thank you Britain. I was about

751
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 2: to tuck into his dinner when he became irritated by

752
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 2: a fly buzzing around him. He picked up an electric

753
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 2: fly swatter and started targeting it, but a gas canister

754
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 2: was leaking in his home. A reaction between the device

755
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 2: and which makes me think he hit it, because I

756
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 2: think there's anything spark when you hit it. A reaction

757
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 2: between the device and the gas calls an explosion, destroying

758
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 2: the kitchen and partly dam check the roof of his home.

759
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 2: And I'm just gonna butcher this French pronunciation, but I'm

760
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 2: going to go for it in his park, cool Chinaude village.

761
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 2: According to local media, the unnamed man had lucky was

762
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:43,280
Speaker 2: lucky to escape, sustaining just a burn on the hand. However,

763
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 2: the fate of the fly is unknown. The man this

764
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 2: is This is the best I know. This is the

765
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,280
Speaker 2: best sentence in the thing. The man has since checked

766
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 2: into a local campsite while his family repair the house.

767
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 2: So you know where you go to get away from

768
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 2: fly's You just go to the closest campsite and say

769
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 2: give me the one near the dumpster that's on sale.

770
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 4: But yeah, oh man.

771
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 2: Chloyd, do you have a fear fly So you just

772
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 2: hate them.

773
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 5: I wouldn't say I'm fearful. I just don't like them

774
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:16,240
Speaker 5: just buzzing around.

775
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a classic. Yeah, it's a dislike I think.

776
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, especially when you're trying to eat and they're just

777
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 5: like constant landing on your food. Like I was gonna

778
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 5: eat that bite. I don't want you also eating that

779
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 5: BikeE nightmare.

780
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:33,280
Speaker 1: I have one of those electric tennis racket fly swatters

781
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: as well, and they are absolutely I loved him for

782
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: so long until you know, we couldn't have it around

783
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: because of the kids because immediately the kids just like

784
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: grab it and just stick their fingers right into it,

785
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: and it can like shock you if you like get

786
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: it in there. It kind of hurts a little bit.

787
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: But man, I'm not going to use it anymore now.

788
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 6: I'm all, well.

789
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: No, I mean love to open up all the all

790
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: the burners on my stove and not light them.

791
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 6: That's what I do on Fridays for he just.

792
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 2: Aired out a little bit, purify the air. You're paying

793
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 2: for it.

794
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 6: It's mine, it's my house, I know.

795
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 2: And it's like it doesn't seem like a French story,

796
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 2: which is like weird to say, but It's like, I

797
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 2: don't know, I have a prejudice towards the French that

798
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 2: maybe goes in the opposite way with most people. I

799
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 2: feel like they're like sophisticated and elegant in a way

800
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 2: where I'm like, I can just imagine him swatting this

801
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 2: thing like with such beautiful arcs and curves and motions,

802
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 2: and then he just chases this fly and he's probably

803
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 2: saying beautiful French things and then come boom.

804
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,439
Speaker 6: I'm happy it wasn't hurt me too.

805
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 2: Just a burn hand at that age, A burnhand is

806
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 2: it makes you feel alive exactly, don't Yeah, they don't

807
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 2: bother me so much. They don't really bother me that much.

808
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: As he's saying this, there's a fly crawling across his eyeball.

809
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 2: I love it. I am. I embraced the darkness. What

810
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:03,439
Speaker 2: you got for us?

811
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 1: The enduring mystery of Calgary's Vasiline Alley.

812
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:12,399
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm sorry, now that's what.

813
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 6: I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about.

814
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: This is a beautiful story sent in by Alison on

815
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:28,800
Speaker 1: our d MS. It's Alison s at aa aa listen anyway,

816
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: thank you for sending it in so the enduring mystery

817
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: of calgarys Vasiline Alley.

818
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:36,280
Speaker 2: Okay.

819
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: For years, a small stretch of road in the northeast

820
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: has been littered with empty petroleum jelly containers. Yeah, this

821
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:48,800
Speaker 1: is from the the CBC Canada's BBC.

822
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 6: As I like to call it.

823
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:51,399
Speaker 2: It's a little nicer.

824
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: Drew Anderson is thank you so much, Drew. Maybe he

825
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: has a great mustache, all right. A mystery haunts a

826
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 1: short stretch of road in north east Calgary for years now.

827
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: The tubs have appeared empty containers of vasoline discarded along

828
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 1: sixty eighth Street northeast, just south of sixteenth Avenue.

829
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 6: Crews pick them up. More jars appears. Even Google street View.

830
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: Captured discarded tubs when one of its cars cruised by

831
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: in May of twenty seventeen. Quote I've gotten I've just

832
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 1: gotten so used to it now it doesn't phaze me.

833
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: It's just there, said Byron Bartley, who lived in the

834
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: area around sixty eighth Street and abbots for Drive for

835
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 1: four years. He says the city comes by regularly to

836
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: pick up the containers, but they're invariably back within two

837
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:34,240
Speaker 1: or three days.

838
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 2: Quote.

839
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 6: Sometimes you go two or three months and not see

840
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 6: any and then all of a sudden, they'll be all

841
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 6: over there again.

842
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: Really, so this like people were alerted about this, because

843
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 1: there's been multiple threads on Reddit with people posting about it.

844
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: And then there's these two guys. Rudel Pick has certainly noticed.

845
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: He mows the grass and picks up litter alongside sixty

846
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:56,799
Speaker 1: eighth Street.

847
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 6: Almost all the time. I've been mowing here for two years.

848
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: I've seen lots of gasoline bottles here all around from

849
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: sixteenth Avenue to fourteenth Avenue for Memorial Drive.

850
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 6: Blah blah, blah blah blah.

851
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 1: He says there's an average of fifteen to twenty containers

852
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: that he picks up each month, and that's just on

853
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 1: the side of the road. Obviously, there's a lot of questions.

854
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: Why vasiline? Why empty? Why not throw them in the trash?

855
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,919
Speaker 1: Who uses that much vassiline? Why only in that one

856
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,240
Speaker 1: little area? Why over so many years?

857
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 6: And this is the best part of this.

858
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,919
Speaker 1: Neither Bartley nor Peak have a good explanation for why

859
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:34,280
Speaker 1: the popular petroleum jelly is so liberally spread around the area. Quote,

860
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,800
Speaker 1: maybe lots of people here using vasilines.

861
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:41,879
Speaker 2: What's a great explanation.

862
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 4: Wow, he really broke it down. That was excellent.

863
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:54,800
Speaker 1: Also, just a note about these vasiline. These are pristinely clean,

864
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 1: uh gasoline jars. There is no vasoline in them.

865
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 6: It's just it's so cool.

866
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 2: That's easy to do.

867
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 6: No, it's not easy to do.

868
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:08,360
Speaker 1: They have been thoroughly washed out and then just thrown

869
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:09,720
Speaker 1: on the side of the road.

870
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 6: Here.

871
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 5: I'm gonna have to google the uses of basoline after this,

872
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 5: because personally, I've had the exact same jar of basoline

873
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,919
Speaker 5: for fifteen years. Like, he's forever to go through.

874
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 4: What tub of vasoline? What could you bobbly be using

875
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:23,839
Speaker 4: it for?

876
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't do an image search on that Google all right,

877
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 2: never mind, Yeah, yeah, it's gonna be pretty.

878
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:33,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's there's a bunch of things you don't want

879
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: to I remember once, uh Google imaging search just for fun.

880
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, it's funny Scooby Doo porn,

881
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: that'll be funny, and it's so upsetting. It's it's Scooby

882
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:49,280
Speaker 1: Doo with like a huge, like human cock. Okay, so gross,

883
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 1: super veiny human cock. Just fucking everybody. I don't know

884
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: why Scooby has a human cock, but he does in

885
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:56,959
Speaker 1: Scooby Doo porn.

886
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 2: Okay, this happens a lot Chloe. On this podcast we

887
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 2: cover there are a lot of like repeat offender leaving things.

888
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 2: There was a person that left a lot of a

889
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 2: one bottles in a library for a long time. There

890
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 2: was another one with ketchup bottles. But this actually does

891
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 2: happen quite a bit this. Okay, I wonder if there's

892
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 2: I don't know, but that is. And it's weird that

893
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:20,720
Speaker 2: it's in an alley.

894
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 1: No, it's and they say it's called Vassiline Alley, but

895
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: it's actually just the side of a road.

896
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 2: It's like.

897
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: And it's so strange because it's not even it's not

898
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: like an urban place. It's not a place where like

899
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: if you wanted to have an effect to people, like

900
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: for people to see it. It's on the side of

901
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: like what seems like a like a four lane highway,

902
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: and there's no businesses around.

903
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 6: It's just kind of a residential area. There's not even

904
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 6: a sidewalk.

905
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: It is a weird place for your fucking vasiline fetish

906
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 1: of throwing them out the window or whatever.

907
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 2: I asked a friend because I used to race bicycles

908
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 2: when I was in high school. So we would do

909
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 2: one hundred mile rides road rides, and I would do

910
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 2: them a lot by myself. It was really fun. But

911
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,800
Speaker 2: what I started to notice is there was always one shoe.

912
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 2: I would see one shoe on the side of the

913
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 2: road all the time, and I would think, like, did

914
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 2: somebody have were they like hanging one foot out the

915
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,439
Speaker 2: window and a truck passed and it blew their shoe off,

916
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 2: Like I've never had shoes fall off in my life,

917
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 2: but it would happen a lot. So my friend, this guy,

918
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 2: Michael Grady, who haven't seen in years. Mike, if you're

919
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 2: listening to this, email me or call the Banana phone.

920
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 2: But he used to dip his bike tires in Coney

921
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 2: Island in the ocean in the Atlantic, and then he

922
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 2: would ride to California and dip in the Pacific. And

923
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 2: he did this like three times. And I said, yeah,

924
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 2: he would cross country bike and he was in his

925
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 2: early twenties, And I said, did you see a lot

926
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 2: of shoes? He goes, I would see so many solo

927
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:53,320
Speaker 2: shoes and then he goes the other two things you

928
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 2: would see is diapers and bottles of piss. And I'm

929
00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 2: like this is like the second to make a lot

930
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:05,399
Speaker 2: of sense. Yes, but just one shoe at a time

931
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 2: is the most confusing thing that it was. I would

932
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 2: say it was every single time I rode up to

933
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,399
Speaker 2: like the Pennsylvania border and back, I would see at

934
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 2: least two solitary shoes, men's and women's, all sizes, sometimes

935
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:18,880
Speaker 2: a flip flop.

936
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 1: Very weird, you know, it's actually the shoe is a

937
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: nicer version than I would always see just underwear, like

938
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 1: frozen underwear in New York City, and it would always

939
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 1: just be like, this is so it's like so disturbing

940
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 1: or so funny. It's either super disturbing or it's a

941
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:45,600

954
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 1: that starts heading up into the mountains and it's an

955
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 1: incredibly picturesque like you just start getting up and there's

956
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 1: little turn offs where you can just go and stop

957
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 1: your car and look out over all of the mountains

958
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 1: and this beautiful view of the La Basin, and there

959
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 1: is always a condom just right there. It is like

960
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:48,239
Speaker 1: it is a crazy idea that and it's like kind

961
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:49,879
Speaker 1: of a it's a highway, do you know what I mean.

00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 6: So it's like cars are zoom and pass that.

963
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 1: It's just like this is the place to get a

964
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 1: beja while looking at a view while giant cars are

965
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 1: like screaming along the side of the room. I love it, though.

966
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:05,720
Speaker 1: I love a condom in a beautiful place, just throwing

967
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:07,240
Speaker 1: on the ground. Yeah.

968
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 2: That really it sets the mood, you know.

00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so beautiful. Do we have any more, Scottie?

970
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:13,560

971
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 6: All right, give it to you.

972
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:17,399
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do a positive one. Let's end at let's

973
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:19,720
Speaker 2: end on an upbeat. And I got this one today.

974
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 2: Just goof goofing on Reddit as I'm want to do

975
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 2: a woman's message in a bottle containing late husband's ashes

976
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 2: travels from US to Spain. So this is from Times

977
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 2: noownews dot com. A woman who threw a message in

978
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 2: a bottle containing her late husband's ashes at a beach

979
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 2: in Florida in twenty eighteen was surprised when it was

980
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:47,840
Speaker 2: found by a Spanish family. Wow, yeah, so it's actually

981
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 2: I know that could be. It could go a couple ways.

982
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:54,879
Speaker 2: But so this woman, well they just wrote the same

983
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 2: line again. But so the message traveled all the way

984
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 2: from Florida to Spain. Mary Wit from Summer Set in

985
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 2: Kentucky was on holiday when she visited Daytona Beach in

986
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 2: Florida with her family. This was two months after her husband, Jerry,

987
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:11,879
Speaker 2: had a sudden demise in twenty eighteen. The family did

988
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 2: not get on a chance, did not have a chance

989
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 2: to go on holiday due to Jerry's work commitments. Quote

990
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 2: whenever it came to anything, his work, his children, his wife,

991
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 2: he was always very passionate. We never got to travel

992
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 2: because we always worked. Mary said. So on this trip,

993
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 2: she this was the first time this nice woman Mary

994
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:35,439
Speaker 2: ever saw the ocean. She goes to Florida and when

995
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:37,759
Speaker 2: the family's visiting the beach, Mary decided to put her

996
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:41,799
Speaker 2: late husband's ashes. He died quickly. It was an unexpected death.

997
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 2: When they were visiting the beach, Mary decided to put

998
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 2: her late husband's ashes into a bottle, along with a

999
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 2: photo and a note. She threw the bottle into the

1000
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,879
Speaker 2: ocean and quote, I thought this would be a good

1001
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 2: way that he could travel and que very sweet. Two

1002
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 2: years late. So this August thirteenth, Mary received an unexpected

1003
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,800
Speaker 2: email from Spain. The mail was from the Alvarez family

1004
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 2: and informed her that they found the bottle at Trazo

1005
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 2: Beach on the northwest coast of Spain on August thirteenth.

1006
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,919
Speaker 2: Mary requested the family to scatter the ashes into the sea,

1007
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 2: and they obliged. They also sent her video of the

1008
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 2: heartwarming moment. This is a very beautiful story. Quote. It

1009
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:27,799
Speaker 2: touched all of our hearts. It's just so heartwarming that

1010
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 2: they were this good to us, and the two families

1011
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:36,240
Speaker 2: have developed an unexpected friendship. Oh isn't that nice?

1012
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,800
Speaker 6: Yes, he got to travel.

1013
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know what he always said, what he

1014
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:45,320
Speaker 1: really wanted to see was to go in circles in

1015
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:46,440
Speaker 1: the middle of the of.

1016
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 2: Whoa Yeah, Joe was a bit of a wild card.

1017
00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,840
Speaker 2: He loved going to bush Gardens and just riding that

1018
00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:02,879
Speaker 2: big white water rafting tube ride until he puked. So

1019
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,360
Speaker 2: we gave him the next best thing, a free bottle

1020
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 2: ride to Spain.

1021
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 4: Oh man, it's really sweet.

1022
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,280
Speaker 2: I found this because I was looking up Louisiana stuff.

1023
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,800
Speaker 2: I was trying to get some Louisiana news, and honestly,

1024
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,839
Speaker 2: it was all so insane. It was beyond We try

1025
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 2: to keep we keep things light year, uh, we keep

1026
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:25,840
Speaker 2: the ex positive. And the news of the last like

1027
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:28,919
Speaker 2: two months in Louisiana between hurricanes and everything was so

1028
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 2: insane that I found a story about a bottle. And

1029
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 2: then I looked up started looking bottles like with notes

1030
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:37,959
Speaker 2: in it, and there's so many, but this one, Yeah,

1031
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,279
Speaker 2: this was from this week. I think that is like,

1032
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 2: I think it's such a nice gesture. And this was

1033
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 2: this woman, Mary's first time seeing the ocean. I mean,

1034
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 2: that's gotta be more.

1035
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:52,360
Speaker 5: Adding that context really really made it so much more special.

1036
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:56,760
Speaker 1: And also she has such an overblown idea what happens

1037
00:52:56,800 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: when you throw things in the ocean. Now, yes, for

1038
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 1: the most part, it just goes to the bottom of

1039
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 1: the ocean or to.

1040
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:07,320
Speaker 5: That giant island of trash. That's what I was imagining.

1041
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:10,760
Speaker 5: I'm like, when most people put bottles in the ocean,

1042
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 5: isn't that where it ends up? The island of trash,

1043
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 5: the island of pollution?

1044
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 1: How many dead spouses are just in that island of

1045
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:20,879
Speaker 1: trash right now?

1046
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 6: Jerry was very lucky, very lucky.

1047
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 8: Man.

1048
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:27,799
Speaker 2: I'm sure WECE is currently making a documentary about bottles

1049
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 2: found floating in the plastic island in the middle of

1050
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 2: the Pacific. But that is sweet. It's like, you know,

1051
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 2: like I think everybody's changing. We actually had a few

1052
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 2: stories sent into us about different burials and things like

1053
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:42,759
Speaker 2: that recently. People that you get buried in a pod,

1054
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 2: you turn into a tree or a bush.

1055
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:46,840
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, I think.

1056
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:49,880
Speaker 2: That's the one. I'm into that one.

1057
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 6: Yeah. No, I don't know.

1058
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 1: I have I have half of my mom's ashes literally

1059
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 1: in a drawer like I'm looking at it.

1060
00:53:58,040 --> 00:53:59,319
Speaker 6: It's like three feet from me.

1061
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 1: And I've had, right, Barbara died for she died three

1062
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 1: four years ago, And I just don't know, like she never.

1063
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 4: Had any wishes for what she wanted.

1064
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 1: No, she never did, And I like, I don't I

1065
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: don't know what to do. Like I could, like, you know,

1066
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 1: I could like to do something. I could do it

1067
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 1: and like I don't know, maybe in Asbury Park in

1068
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:21,920
Speaker 1: New Jersey or like where she used to like to

1069
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: go to the beach or something.

1070
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, I just don't know.

1071
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 1: I So I've just been holding onto them and I

1072
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 1: think when the idea like is right, then I'll do it. Also,

1073
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:31,839
Speaker 1: I only have half of the edges the other half

1074
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:35,400
Speaker 1: for like in a in a like in the ground,

1075
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 1: I guess in New Jersey. So I could also do

1076
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: it at like ten different places, just a handful here

1077
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:42,760
Speaker 1: and a hand take.

1078
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:44,839
Speaker 4: A little vacation go places.

00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is your traveling pants, man, I'll go with you.

00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:56,959
Speaker 2: Yeah. She didn't ever like secretly be like skydiving would

Speaker 2: be fun. Like was there ever any vacation anything?

1086
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 1: She wanted to really travel. I mean, she just wanted

1087
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 1: to travel, do you know what I mean? And she

1088
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 1: never even got a chance because she she she was

1089
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:10,800
Speaker 1: still working when she has cancer. So she wanted to

1090
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:13,399
Speaker 1: go to Alaska. She went to Alaska, cool. She came

1091

1095
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:27,160
