0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:24.880
<v Speaker 1>and welcome to night Call your podcast for your strange

0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:28.160
<v Speaker 1>days and lonely nights. I'm Molly Lambert and with me

0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:31.160
<v Speaker 1>in Los Angeles is Test Lynch. And over in New

0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:36.240
<v Speaker 1>York we have Emily Yoshida and Test Lynch. Just came

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>from New York. Just yesterday. Tesla Lynch was in New York.

0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 1>What were you up to, TESTI roade the plane. Well, um,

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:47.120
<v Speaker 1>I went to New York. So it's been two years

0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:49.879
<v Speaker 1>since I've been on a plane and out of you,

0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:52.879
<v Speaker 1>thank you. It was two years ago had a traumatic

0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:56.720
<v Speaker 1>experience on a plane where my daughter screamed for um,

0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:59.280
<v Speaker 1>the six hours there and the six hours back, and

0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:01.720
<v Speaker 1>then you texted me and you said, somebody else's child

0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:04.560
<v Speaker 1>is screaming on this flight. And I'm so happy, so happy.

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:07.120
<v Speaker 1>I was sitting next to a family with like it

0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:09.720
<v Speaker 1>just seemed like they had just four rows of children

0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:12.000
<v Speaker 1>who were all roughly the same age. I'm not sure

0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 1>how that worked out, um, but all of them screamed

0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:17.440
<v Speaker 1>and I was loving it. I almost stood up at

0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:20.200
<v Speaker 1>the end and wanted to be like, you're great, they

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:23.319
<v Speaker 1>did fantastic. Um, you know what, being on the plane

0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:25.360
<v Speaker 1>is scary. Screaming the whole time is kind of a

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.600
<v Speaker 1>natural reaction that other people suppress out of it is.

0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 1>I was just talking about this with um blank check

0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 1>blank check host David Sims and former Night Called guests

0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:39.320
<v Speaker 1>Richard Lawson this weekend because they are both nervous flyers

0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:41.840
<v Speaker 1>and I am not, and I'm very grateful for it,

0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:44.319
<v Speaker 1>I guess. But also the entire act of fine is

0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 1>completely abstract to me, so I don't understand, like, oh,

0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 1>it's because that's one of the things where I'm like,

0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how a plane works and stays up

0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:59.640
<v Speaker 1>in the air. Really wait, did you miss ninth grade science?

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.920
<v Speaker 1>I know what supposed like a like a jet stream

0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:05.480
<v Speaker 1>and you know, the air currents are keeping it up,

0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:08.240
<v Speaker 1>but like the fact that it stays up is crazy.

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:12.680
<v Speaker 1>My issue with flying, beyond having children, is that the

0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 1>physical changes that happen when you're in an airplane, Like

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:19.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm very sensitive in general, I guess to sort of

0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:23.280
<v Speaker 1>like the elements, well yeah, but also like the way

0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 1>that you get dried out and like my ear lobes

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:29.280
<v Speaker 1>started like throwing. It's a weird thing because it's like

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:32.800
<v Speaker 1>a bus in the sky, a sky bus sky bus,

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:35.960
<v Speaker 1>but it almost feels like being in the microwave for

0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 1>six hours at ten power. It's not like you're not

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 1>being like totally cooked, but like a little bit cooked. Mom,

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.040
<v Speaker 1>who is a nervous flyer, likes to pretend she's on

0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 1>a train because that makes her feel calmer. But it's

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:49.959
<v Speaker 1>really hard to pretend you're on a train if you

0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:54.359
<v Speaker 1>look yeah, being I like, I like trains. Trains are great,

0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:58.080
<v Speaker 1>and being on a plane is like inherently kind of uncomfortable.

0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 1>It's up. I think the thing that would make me

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:02.640
<v Speaker 1>nervous if I really started to dial and think about

0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:04.440
<v Speaker 1>it was another thing we were talking about, which is

0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:06.799
<v Speaker 1>just like all the things that like one little thing

0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:10.040
<v Speaker 1>can go wrong, as far as the checklist before flight happens,

0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:13.160
<v Speaker 1>and and everybody's toast. And they were telling me about

0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.840
<v Speaker 1>they were telling me about some case recently of some

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of budget airline. I want to say it was

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:23.840
<v Speaker 1>an Indian airline and they just forgot to pressurize the

0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 1>cabin before the flight went up, and everybody just started

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:31.079
<v Speaker 1>bleeding out of their ear drawings, which is just like

0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.160
<v Speaker 1>my night and then suddenly you know, of course, then

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:36.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, oh god, that's horrible, Like flying is a nightmare.

0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 1>But like you know, it's just this one little thing.

0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 1>People are cavalier about space travel when you know billionaires

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:46.360
<v Speaker 1>that are sending people to space. They're like, we'll all

0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:48.360
<v Speaker 1>just be going too space. And then we talk about

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 1>space madness, where it's like, you know, your brain can't

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 1>handle a long journey through the cospital. Also, there was

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 1>just something recently about the radiation levels on Mars, and

0:03:57.840 --> 0:03:59.360
<v Speaker 1>if you went to Mars you would just be like

0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:01.880
<v Speaker 1>complete a radiod like I was thinking about the other

0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:03.960
<v Speaker 1>day because I was looking at Mars because I love

0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Mars and it's been out a lot, uh, and I

0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>was just like, who looks at that? And it's like

0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:13.280
<v Speaker 1>we should go put like fucking hotels on it. No,

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:16.359
<v Speaker 1>I know it doesn't need to be gentrified exactly. Do

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 1>not gentrify marks. Yeah, leave the Martians alone, Leave the

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:22.279
<v Speaker 1>Martians alone. I was going to say, Emily, that was

0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Stanley Kubrick's reason for not flying. The pressure eyes. No,

0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:27.880
<v Speaker 1>the idea that like one little thing could go wrong.

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:30.839
<v Speaker 1>He was like too obsessive and just was like he

0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:34.479
<v Speaker 1>didn't trust anybody else to be as obsessive. That's right exactly,

0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:39.120
<v Speaker 1>and that's why he shot like in England and all

0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:43.359
<v Speaker 1>that stuff, because he wouldn't leave. I'm I'm of his camp.

0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Although I have to say it was really nice to

0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:46.919
<v Speaker 1>go back to New York. I hadn't been back in

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:50.040
<v Speaker 1>a while. And I went for the Tribeca TV Festival

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 1>because my husband was in a an indie pilot that

0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:57.039
<v Speaker 1>was written and directed by my friend Bridget who also

0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:58.720
<v Speaker 1>is Molly's friend. She went to high school with us.

0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.120
<v Speaker 1>It's called I was a teenage all queen. I'm plugging

0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 1>it right now. Um. But we also saw four other

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.840
<v Speaker 1>pilots that were it was just fun Like it was

0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:11.280
<v Speaker 1>nice to like have a semi professional reason to go

0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:14.920
<v Speaker 1>like do something like that. Was really excited because she

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:18.920
<v Speaker 1>met Lynn Shelton who were all told her about the

0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:22.440
<v Speaker 1>podcast Thailand. I know you're listening to have a pilot. No,

0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 1>she was a guest, she was she was a plus

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.400
<v Speaker 1>fellow plus ones. Um. But yeah, I met like a

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.039
<v Speaker 1>lot of really cool, interesting people. Use you're not a

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.200
<v Speaker 1>big New York person in general, even though you are

0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.400
<v Speaker 1>from there. I'm from there. The tricky thing for me

0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 1>about New York is that it would be like I mean,

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:41.479
<v Speaker 1>it's everybody has that thing of like, you know, it

0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:43.200
<v Speaker 1>just makes you feel old when you go back to

0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.400
<v Speaker 1>where you're from and it looks totally different and everything

0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:48.360
<v Speaker 1>is closed. But New York used to be so gross

0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.720
<v Speaker 1>and I loved that about it, and um, I ended up.

0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:54.600
<v Speaker 1>I was at Washington Square Park and it was so

0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:58.120
<v Speaker 1>like fancy. I mean, it was ridiculously fancy. And then

0:05:58.400 --> 0:05:59.960
<v Speaker 1>I went I was like, I had to take my

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:03.000
<v Speaker 1>toddler to the bathroom and we went in and they

0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.480
<v Speaker 1>were like horrible. Count I was just like, this looks

0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:07.960
<v Speaker 1>like the w but it's like a public bathroom. And

0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:11.880
<v Speaker 1>then I just kept park that Needle Park. What was

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.039
<v Speaker 1>Needle Park? I think Needle Park may have been Washington

0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:16.240
<v Speaker 1>Square Park. I thought that was Tompkins Square. Oh, that

0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:18.960
<v Speaker 1>would make more maybe. Um, when I was a kid,

0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:21.159
<v Speaker 1>Washington Square was the park that I went to, and

0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:24.279
<v Speaker 1>now Union Square Park is like the where you take

0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:27.359
<v Speaker 1>your kids. Uh my my son made a lot different

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.960
<v Speaker 1>dance to the Harry Christmas. Yes. Yeah, it was interesting

0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.360
<v Speaker 1>too to see the different troops that were like campaigning

0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:37.040
<v Speaker 1>at these parks. That was like no scientologists those are

0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:39.120
<v Speaker 1>at Echo Park, like there are no I didn't they

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:42.360
<v Speaker 1>just had like it's like it's coastal affiliation. Uh huh.

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 1>A lot of us for Jesus at Washington Square Park

0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.520
<v Speaker 1>What was your biggest takeaway from New York then, maybe

0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:41.800
<v Speaker 1>aside from from I mean cleanliness, because you sent me

0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.120
<v Speaker 1>some pictures of like, well, that's the thing is I

0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.560
<v Speaker 1>found myself. I sent Molly a bunch of pictures of

0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:50.800
<v Speaker 1>trash and pigeon pooh well because I was like this,

0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:55.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't see how hard the inner workings of how

0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:58.000
<v Speaker 1>New York operates right now are just so mystifying to

0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:00.120
<v Speaker 1>me because when I was growing up, it was like,

0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:03.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, the trash, the dirt, like it was all

0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:07.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of elemental to the city because it was like yeah,

0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:08.719
<v Speaker 1>and it was kind of an acknowledgement of like it

0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:10.760
<v Speaker 1>would take way too much work to tackle this guy's

0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:12.480
<v Speaker 1>like way too much money, way too much work. It's

0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:14.560
<v Speaker 1>just not going to happen. And now there's this like

0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:17.760
<v Speaker 1>mysterious thing of like you know, I mean, obviously their

0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:20.960
<v Speaker 1>answers to these questions, but the fact that homeless people

0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.680
<v Speaker 1>have been basically like eliminated from the streets is very

0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:26.920
<v Speaker 1>disturbing to me because in l A obviously that's that's

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:30.200
<v Speaker 1>something where um, I'm like privy to a lot of

0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:33.200
<v Speaker 1>that dialogue, and I don't I don't really know where

0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:36.160
<v Speaker 1>they all went. Actually, there was a lot of homelessness

0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.959
<v Speaker 1>in New York the last time I went there. What

0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:44.200
<v Speaker 1>I learned they corralled them into subway stations. Uh okay,

0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.000
<v Speaker 1>because I mean that was the thing of like when

0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.880
<v Speaker 1>I was growing up, it was it was just basically

0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:54.160
<v Speaker 1>like you know, it looked a lot more like l A. Now. Yeah. Also,

0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:57.920
<v Speaker 1>just going I went to sty Town, um, and they

0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:00.760
<v Speaker 1>have like movie nights and an ice skating rink apparently

0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.599
<v Speaker 1>in the winter, and it's all of these pristine playgrounds,

0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:06.559
<v Speaker 1>and I was just like, this is very nice, Like

0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:09.880
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't but it doesn't seem like New York. That's

0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:12.640
<v Speaker 1>why In New York, because I'm an Old New York.

0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Then you make like the Stanley Kubrick eyes watch shut,

0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:17.880
<v Speaker 1>like the version from your Memories. Yes, yeah, you build

0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:19.559
<v Speaker 1>it on a set. It was. It was really great.

0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:21.600
<v Speaker 1>I got to see my friend Rachel, who hadn't seen

0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.800
<v Speaker 1>in a long time. Um, and we went to a

0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.200
<v Speaker 1>restaurant where oh we were trying to find a place

0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:30.080
<v Speaker 1>to eat and it was obviously like a weekend night,

0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:33.240
<v Speaker 1>so impossible. We didn't have reservations anywhere, and we wandered

0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:35.280
<v Speaker 1>into this restaurant where we could sit at the bar

0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:37.440
<v Speaker 1>or lounge. And we went to the bar and it

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:39.560
<v Speaker 1>was pretty full, but there was a woman sitting with

0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:41.920
<v Speaker 1>two seats on either side of her, and she was alone,

0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:44.679
<v Speaker 1>and she had bags on the seats next to her,

0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:47.440
<v Speaker 1>and we were like, hey, do you mind just scooching

0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:49.720
<v Speaker 1>over one seat or like moving your bag so that

0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:53.120
<v Speaker 1>we can sit and she was like, sweethearts, I can't

0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:56.199
<v Speaker 1>and we were like good why and she was like

0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:58.000
<v Speaker 1>you have to understand, I'm meeting a man who I

0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:00.280
<v Speaker 1>haven't seen him in thirty years. And we were but

0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:02.240
<v Speaker 1>he's not going to take all these seats, like what

0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:05.120
<v Speaker 1>do you need them for? And she was like, look

0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:08.360
<v Speaker 1>at the lights and she was like under a little

0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:12.120
<v Speaker 1>light that was like slightly more amber than the other lights,

0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:15.000
<v Speaker 1>but they were like identical reasons other than it was

0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:16.800
<v Speaker 1>like a little warmer. And she was like I got

0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.559
<v Speaker 1>here at five and it was like seven thirty, Like

0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:22.400
<v Speaker 1>I got here at five, and I'm just waiting for

0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:24.400
<v Speaker 1>him and like I have to be sitting in this seat,

0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:26.400
<v Speaker 1>and we were like, funck fine. She was like, I'm

0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:30.320
<v Speaker 1>not crazy, and we were like you are crazy. I

0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.880
<v Speaker 1>don't know. So then we walk around to like go

0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.600
<v Speaker 1>somewhere else, and a couple pulls us over and they're like, oh,

0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.160
<v Speaker 1>we've been here for an hour. She did that to us.

0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:40.800
<v Speaker 1>She did that to them, like pointing, just like she

0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:43.040
<v Speaker 1>had iced out everybody who had tried to sit at

0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:45.640
<v Speaker 1>the bar. And they were like, I don't think this

0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:50.400
<v Speaker 1>guy is gonna show up, like how you known like

0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.839
<v Speaker 1>some listeners. He did show up, because we were eating

0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:57.400
<v Speaker 1>at the lounge and we were like waiting to see

0:11:57.520 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 1>and she was like in her maybe late fifties, and

0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:02.160
<v Speaker 1>then this guy comes in and he's like her age

0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:04.960
<v Speaker 1>and he sits down and when we left, they were

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:11.600
<v Speaker 1>making out. Yeah. I was like, I'm going to be

0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:14.440
<v Speaker 1>reading Modern Love for like the rest of my life,

0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:17.760
<v Speaker 1>just to try and find that is genuinely a beautiful,

0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:19.840
<v Speaker 1>in romantic, a wonderful story. It was, but I was

0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:21.880
<v Speaker 1>still kind of pissed because I was like, I don't know,

0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:23.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like I really would have preferred to sit

0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:28.440
<v Speaker 1>at the bar one of the things that I had

0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:33.480
<v Speaker 1>suggested talking about UFO religions. I've been just really into religions. Well,

0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:35.480
<v Speaker 1>I when Molly proposed this, I was like, what do

0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:38.080
<v Speaker 1>you mean? She was like scientology. It's like, well, I

0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:41.000
<v Speaker 1>was like, there's a bunch of them. Wait, what do

0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:44.120
<v Speaker 1>you mean by UFO religion. They're like a bunch of Okay,

0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:48.880
<v Speaker 1>So there's like religions, religions that are based around either

0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:52.160
<v Speaker 1>like post atomic age relation post atomic age, like like

0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:55.679
<v Speaker 1>sixties and seventies, Like we're trying some stuff out and

0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:59.960
<v Speaker 1>here's what it is. Um, Scientology is one of them.

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:05.560
<v Speaker 1>But there's also the realiens. Oh yes, Um, it's people

0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.640
<v Speaker 1>who believe that the UFOs coming is the rapture basically,

0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:14.720
<v Speaker 1>and the people in independence No exactly and unarious. Um.

0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Have you guys ever seen v the eighties TV miniseries, Yeah, yeah,

0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.320
<v Speaker 1>The Lizard, the lizard people. One that's super scary where

0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:26.520
<v Speaker 1>it's like the it's like it's the v as the visitors,

0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:29.280
<v Speaker 1>and it's like all these spaceships just arrive and like

0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:31.920
<v Speaker 1>stand over all the big cities, like an Independence day,

0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:34.360
<v Speaker 1>and then the visitors come out and they're like we're good,

0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.480
<v Speaker 1>like trust us. And then they turned out to be

0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:39.320
<v Speaker 1>lizard people. But it's all about the people being like

0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:41.760
<v Speaker 1>should we trust the visitors like they say they're good

0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:44.400
<v Speaker 1>and they want to help us. And then I just

0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:48.079
<v Speaker 1>learned that it was actually just an adaptation of Upton

0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Sinclair's It Can't Happen Here? Oh really Yeah, and then

0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:55.840
<v Speaker 1>it was pitched originally as a story about like Nazis

0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:59.960
<v Speaker 1>in America, and they were like that's too intense, too hot,

0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:04.520
<v Speaker 1>too hot, too hot, so they changed it to aliens.

0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:08.880
<v Speaker 1>But there's all this stuff in it about like the visitors.

0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:12.040
<v Speaker 1>They like. What they do is they like suppress science

0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.800
<v Speaker 1>so that nobody will do the science that will find

0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.600
<v Speaker 1>out their lizard people. How do they suppress the science?

0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:22.120
<v Speaker 1>They like start killing scientists. Okay, let's let's say this

0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:24.080
<v Speaker 1>for a later episode, because it feels like there's a

0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:27.480
<v Speaker 1>lot I just wanted to bring it into the nightcall

0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Spear because um, it's something I think we will revisit.

0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Let's take a nightcall. I think we have one about cheese.

0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:47.400
<v Speaker 1>This email comes from Lena and she writes from Leicester, England. Um,

0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:49.520
<v Speaker 1>in part I am not reading the whole email, but

0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:52.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to cut right to the chase. Every time

0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:55.080
<v Speaker 1>I've told someone I don't like cheese, people react as

0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:58.520
<v Speaker 1>if I just viciously insulted their infant child. My father

0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:00.720
<v Speaker 1>and friends have, on many occasions, has tried to trick

0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:04.120
<v Speaker 1>me into eating concealed cheese to prove that this has

0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:07.080
<v Speaker 1>all been a lifelong ruise on my part since birth.

0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:09.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm twenty five years old. That is a long time

0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:12.920
<v Speaker 1>to keep up a weird and very specific food based prank. Finally,

0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:15.520
<v Speaker 1>I found this study where these scientists scan the brains

0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.760
<v Speaker 1>of like three people who all don't like cheese and

0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:21.600
<v Speaker 1>found that they have the same the same abnormality in

0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:24.360
<v Speaker 1>their brain with a link to that we will put

0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:27.680
<v Speaker 1>in an addendum to this episode. My dream is to

0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:30.120
<v Speaker 1>save up enough money to get my brain scanned and

0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:32.880
<v Speaker 1>then have the result printed out on tasteful business cards

0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:36.640
<v Speaker 1>to hand out to people. L O l Thank you, Lena.

0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:40.040
<v Speaker 1>So this is a scientific It's like the people who

0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:43.560
<v Speaker 1>think um cilantro tastes like soap or brussels or the

0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:48.640
<v Speaker 1>like bitterness the brain. I should clear clarify because she was,

0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:51.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, she was responding to me talking about the

0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:54.720
<v Speaker 1>fact that I don't eat cheese, and um, I wouldn't

0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:58.400
<v Speaker 1>say that I have a natural aversion to cheese. I

0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:00.520
<v Speaker 1>used to eat a lot of cheese. I lived in

0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:05.520
<v Speaker 1>the Midwest, I lived in Dairy Country County, went to

0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I went to dairy Queen like every you know, every

0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:14.320
<v Speaker 1>chance I got um. But um, I stopped drinking milk

0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:16.960
<v Speaker 1>I think, I want to say in my sophomore year

0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:20.520
<v Speaker 1>because I saw we had to watch a video about

0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:24.800
<v Speaker 1>how milk is made in industrialized society, and it was

0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:27.840
<v Speaker 1>so horrifying that, I mean, I would still drink dairy products,

0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:31.040
<v Speaker 1>have dairy products, but I wouldn't drink just plain milk

0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:35.160
<v Speaker 1>because that it was too reminiscent of all these cows

0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:38.720
<v Speaker 1>being pushed into these metal milking devices and stuff. It

0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:43.280
<v Speaker 1>was just really unpleasant. But you eat meat, right, I

0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:46.000
<v Speaker 1>do eat meat? Yeah, So how no, I'm I don't.

0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:48.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying it doesn't makes any sense. I don't know.

0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:52.240
<v Speaker 1>I want to say that my dietary got actses are

0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:55.440
<v Speaker 1>part of some larger philosophy, got in there, very selective

0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:58.560
<v Speaker 1>and silly. No. I appreciate that because I think it

0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:01.000
<v Speaker 1>is sort of like, well, it's also like if anybody

0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:02.640
<v Speaker 1>had to look at like how things are made, we'd

0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:05.240
<v Speaker 1>all be vegans, just like Paul McCartney. So I was vegan.

0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:07.560
<v Speaker 1>So the real thing is that I was vegan then

0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:12.080
<v Speaker 1>for about three years, and when I wanted to stop

0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:14.719
<v Speaker 1>being vegan because I was tired and run down all

0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:16.840
<v Speaker 1>the time, and I wonder if I just like wasn't

0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:19.840
<v Speaker 1>eating properly or needed a more I don't know. I

0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:21.760
<v Speaker 1>was just trying everything at that point. So I tried

0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:23.600
<v Speaker 1>to stop beating vegan. So I started eating meat again,

0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:27.720
<v Speaker 1>but I could not eat cheese. It made me barf um.

0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:31.000
<v Speaker 1>So I I kind of feel like maybe that's a

0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:34.000
<v Speaker 1>more bizarre thing for people to eat. I wouldn't say,

0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:38.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Lactose intolerance is real. Yeah, of course

0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:42.240
<v Speaker 1>it is, and I probably am lerant, and there are

0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:46.560
<v Speaker 1>some like groups that are predisposed to lactose intolerance. But

0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:49.320
<v Speaker 1>there are people who are lactose intolerant and still love

0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:53.600
<v Speaker 1>cheese and dairy products. But I am one of those

0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:56.840
<v Speaker 1>people for sure, But I don't love all cheese like

0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm not one of those people. I personally find Well,

0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:03.439
<v Speaker 1>she is from England, are from England, and that's like

0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:05.679
<v Speaker 1>another serious child. I know. I was gonna say, that's

0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:08.639
<v Speaker 1>probably so much more intense there to be the superject

0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:13.040

0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:37.560
<v Speaker 1>I love called dead Man Talking. Created with Audio Boom.

0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Dead Man Talking is about the death row confessions of

0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:42.399
<v Speaker 1>the railroad killer in Hell, Resendas, who cris crossed the

0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:45.200
<v Speaker 1>US by freight train in the eighties and nineties, choosing

0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:47.359
<v Speaker 1>his victims at random before he was executed by the

0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:52.080
<v Speaker 1>State of Texas in two thousand and six. Before his death,

0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Resendas spoke to journalist and host Alex Hannaford and claimed

0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:57.600
<v Speaker 1>on tape to have killed as many as forty people.

0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Each episode takes a confession by Zendas and leads Alex

0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:04.399
<v Speaker 1>on an investigation to find out the truth. Was the

0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:07.240
<v Speaker 1>railroad killer lying in order to slow down his journey

0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:10.240
<v Speaker 1>to the execution chamber? Or was he even more sinister

0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:14.439
<v Speaker 1>than anyone could have imagined. Dead Man Talking features interviews

0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:17.879
<v Speaker 1>with the railroad killers only surviving victim, the psychiatrist who

0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:20.399
<v Speaker 1>knew him best, attorneys who worked on the case, and

0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:24.200

0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:52.520
<v Speaker 1>speaking of eating like you know, being kind of a

0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:55.600
<v Speaker 1>hypocrite about eating habits, I don't eat octopus, as we've

0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:58.400
<v Speaker 1>talked about before. But um, I just really quickly because

0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:00.879
<v Speaker 1>Molly sent us a very interesting article from the New

0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:03.359
<v Speaker 1>York Times that was I think three days ago. So

0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:06.320
<v Speaker 1>well I just text you guys ideas for the podcast,

0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:08.600
<v Speaker 1>and they're just like octopus on ecstasy. Well, we have

0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:11.119
<v Speaker 1>to just address the fact that they a bunch of

0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:16.159
<v Speaker 1>scientists gave some octopied some ecstasy and they had they

0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:19.760
<v Speaker 1>had a like they put the octopus in a tank

0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:24.000
<v Speaker 1>with another octopus that was hiding under like an upturned

0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:26.359
<v Speaker 1>pot in case one you know, the octopus on drugs

0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:28.320
<v Speaker 1>got aggressive and wanted to beat up the octopus. The

0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:30.320
<v Speaker 1>other octopus had a place to hide, and then they

0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:34.720
<v Speaker 1>had a toy, and when they gave the octopus ecstasy,

0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:37.800
<v Speaker 1>it became like hyper social and wanted to give hugs,

0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:41.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, like a like a raver. They wanted to

0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:43.920
<v Speaker 1>call its family and just say, like, I just want

0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:49.840
<v Speaker 1>to let you guys know, I love like they're normally solitary,

0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:54.240
<v Speaker 1>but they like just wanted to cuddle an octopus. And

0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:57.440
<v Speaker 1>so that just like further solidifies my stance that it's

0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:00.879
<v Speaker 1>you cannot eat octopus are too smart. They're too cute

0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:04.040
<v Speaker 1>and smart. Yeah, and whims like, well, pigs are too,

0:21:04.840 --> 0:21:13.400
<v Speaker 1>so everybody's a hypocrite. Vegans are smarter than I got

0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:15.639
<v Speaker 1>mad at my friend Paul, who's a vegan, because he

0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:18.600
<v Speaker 1>was like excitedly talking about killing mosquitoes, and I was like,

0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:21.000
<v Speaker 1>aren't you a vegan. He was like, mosquitoes don't deserve

0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:24.040
<v Speaker 1>to live. They're the deadliest animal. He's a hundred percent right,

0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:25.639
<v Speaker 1>I know. But he was also like, I'm not a

0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:28.440
<v Speaker 1>vegan because I like care about animals. I'm a vegans,

0:21:28.440 --> 0:21:31.080
<v Speaker 1>like I don't like any food wait, really, he's not

0:21:31.119 --> 0:21:34.840
<v Speaker 1>an ethical vegan. He's just like a a picky person.

0:21:34.960 --> 0:21:38.080
<v Speaker 1>I was. I was not an ethical vegan. I was

0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:42.200
<v Speaker 1>a vegan because it was cheap and I went through

0:21:42.600 --> 0:21:45.320
<v Speaker 1>what's the thing that like people always associate with Gwyneth

0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Paltrow where you just like selectively stop eating different things? Yeah,

0:21:51.520 --> 0:21:55.439
<v Speaker 1>I was like mildly orthorexact for like most of my life.

0:21:55.760 --> 0:21:58.640
<v Speaker 1>So I just decided like I had, you know, uh,

0:21:59.119 --> 0:22:01.760
<v Speaker 1>narrowed down most right, and you some people who liked

0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:05.479
<v Speaker 1>it because it's like the it's just so limiting and

0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:09.199
<v Speaker 1>that can be Yeah, it gives you so much and

0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:12.320
<v Speaker 1>when you're poor also, it's like, well, there's there were

0:22:12.359 --> 0:22:14.080
<v Speaker 1>only a few things that I could afford, and now

0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:19.360
<v Speaker 1>doesn't it doesn't lead to eating well necessarily, I feel

0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:23.320
<v Speaker 1>like a lot of them. So many unhealthy vegans just

0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:27.040
<v Speaker 1>eat like niff and like rice and beans. What is

0:22:27.160 --> 0:22:33.399
<v Speaker 1>niff niff? Uh? Nutritional useful? I do not like. I

0:22:33.560 --> 0:22:38.239
<v Speaker 1>find those disgusting. They're like a substitute for cheese. But

0:22:38.560 --> 0:22:41.000
<v Speaker 1>well I love them. They're do you okay? So do

0:22:41.040 --> 0:22:44.520
<v Speaker 1>you like other? This brings me to my next cheese question. Um.

0:22:44.560 --> 0:22:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Also in the email, there's in a different part of it.

0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:48.919
<v Speaker 1>She talks about the part of what she finds off

0:22:48.920 --> 0:22:52.480
<v Speaker 1>putting about cheese is that it's just hard milk. Yes,

0:22:52.560 --> 0:22:56.360
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's very evocative, very evocative. Um, it's

0:22:56.359 --> 0:22:59.160
<v Speaker 1>a secretion, it's a hardened secretion I have, Like if

0:22:59.200 --> 0:23:01.120
<v Speaker 1>something is like else gross to me, like I don't

0:23:01.119 --> 0:23:03.040
<v Speaker 1>want to eat it. Yeah, that's I mean, I think

0:23:03.040 --> 0:23:06.560
<v Speaker 1>that that's universal. It's not because some people like cheese

0:23:06.600 --> 0:23:11.000
<v Speaker 1>that I find disgusting and I I do not. I

0:23:11.040 --> 0:23:13.679
<v Speaker 1>cannot funk with it at all. I don't do. I mean,

0:23:13.720 --> 0:23:16.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm not huge into cheese, as I've said, I'm not like,

0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:18.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, a total I don't know, hard line with cheese.

0:23:18.880 --> 0:23:21.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm incredibly picky about what kind of cheese I like.

0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:23.439
<v Speaker 1>I like the soft, mild cheese. But you know what

0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:25.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't like is there was this thing going around

0:23:25.960 --> 0:23:29.679
<v Speaker 1>online recently that was like it was like a puff pastry.

0:23:29.680 --> 0:23:31.760
<v Speaker 1>It was huge, like a cauldron, and it was just

0:23:31.960 --> 0:23:37.080
<v Speaker 1>filled with melted cheese as like an edible, entire fondue pot.

0:23:37.520 --> 0:23:40.600
<v Speaker 1>I was like, why is that appealing too much? It's

0:23:40.680 --> 0:23:43.560
<v Speaker 1>just too much. I'm also, this is not going to

0:23:43.600 --> 0:23:46.720
<v Speaker 1>be a popular opinion. Um, and I'm excited for fighting

0:23:46.760 --> 0:23:50.159
<v Speaker 1>about it, but I do not like caso. Oh that

0:23:50.200 --> 0:23:53.680
<v Speaker 1>you're wrong. I'm not. I've never had cas is fantastic.

0:23:53.960 --> 0:23:56.440
<v Speaker 1>I do not care for it. Really, Emily, you've never

0:23:56.480 --> 0:23:59.560
<v Speaker 1>had it. I love It's a Texas I know, but

0:23:59.600 --> 0:24:02.080
<v Speaker 1>you've never I had cheese curds like you don't have

0:24:02.160 --> 0:24:04.560
<v Speaker 1>to talk about She's been like a real text Max,

0:24:04.720 --> 0:24:07.960
<v Speaker 1>like Boom in Los Angeles because at home State, I'm not.

0:24:08.080 --> 0:24:10.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm not crazy about the text Max Moon because I'm like,

0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:13.760
<v Speaker 1>we have like Max Max. I'm like, yeah, Max, we

0:24:13.760 --> 0:24:18.480
<v Speaker 1>don't need but people love ques so I don't get

0:24:18.520 --> 0:24:21.199
<v Speaker 1>it at all. It's like gross nacho cheese. Basically my

0:24:21.280 --> 0:24:23.800
<v Speaker 1>mom used to make um quies so when I was

0:24:23.840 --> 0:24:27.920
<v Speaker 1>growing up, and it was just velvita cheese and rotel tomato. Okay,

0:24:27.960 --> 0:24:31.600
<v Speaker 1>that's the classic I've had that. I never really got

0:24:31.640 --> 0:24:34.000
<v Speaker 1>into that it was. It was also so foreign to me.

0:24:34.040 --> 0:24:36.440
<v Speaker 1>It was like, I don't know, it felt so decadent.

0:24:36.520 --> 0:24:40.399
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't it's super decadent. It's hard because it's like

0:24:40.440 --> 0:24:42.440
<v Speaker 1>you don't care what you're dunking in it? What about

0:24:42.480 --> 0:24:43.960
<v Speaker 1>you could dunk anything in it? Where do you guys

0:24:44.000 --> 0:24:47.800
<v Speaker 1>fall on Swan? Do I like Fawon? Do I miss Fawon? Do? Honestly?

0:24:47.840 --> 0:24:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Because I like Swiss? You do? Wait what you just

0:24:54.240 --> 0:24:57.600
<v Speaker 1>my mind just exploding. You like Swiss cheese? I get

0:24:57.640 --> 0:24:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Emily's cheese. I mean I get it that I must.

0:25:00.160 --> 0:25:02.800
<v Speaker 1>So I'm talking about when I when I ate cheese,

0:25:02.840 --> 0:25:04.919
<v Speaker 1>Swiss cheese was good. I liked all. I liked all

0:25:04.920 --> 0:25:06.919
<v Speaker 1>the Swiss cheese. I'm not a huge fan of fond

0:25:07.400 --> 0:25:09.119
<v Speaker 1>I'll go for it. Maybe. I think I went to

0:25:09.200 --> 0:25:11.200
<v Speaker 1>fondue with you, Molly, in a place in the valley,

0:25:11.240 --> 0:25:14.920
<v Speaker 1>maybe La fond or something. You'll go to La. There's

0:25:14.960 --> 0:25:17.920
<v Speaker 1>like this one weird seventies fondue place in the valley.

0:25:17.960 --> 0:25:20.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's still open. I loved that

0:25:20.520 --> 0:25:23.199
<v Speaker 1>it's still existed. It's sort of It's very similar to

0:25:23.240 --> 0:25:25.840
<v Speaker 1>like the weird French restaurant that's in Punch Drunk Glove, Yes,

0:25:25.840 --> 0:25:29.320
<v Speaker 1>where he beats up the bathroom that's also there, Oh yeah,

0:25:29.720 --> 0:25:34.080
<v Speaker 1>or like yeah, Tay is like legitimately old. This is

0:25:34.119 --> 0:25:38.399
<v Speaker 1>like a seventies attempt at like recreating the old world.

0:25:38.480 --> 0:25:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Country Country kitchen is just so greasy when you melt cheese.

0:25:43.080 --> 0:25:45.520
<v Speaker 1>That's the issue with melting cheese because I make this

0:25:45.600 --> 0:25:49.320
<v Speaker 1>thing that is colloquially known as funeral potatoes because when

0:25:49.359 --> 0:25:55.320
<v Speaker 1>someone dies, you bring them. Oh, it's it's a Midwestern

0:25:55.359 --> 0:25:58.679
<v Speaker 1>thing and it's it's like also grotten, but it's like, yeah,

0:25:58.920 --> 0:26:02.000
<v Speaker 1>you bring them to a funeral. Yeah, because when someone dies,

0:26:02.119 --> 0:26:05.199
<v Speaker 1>you're supposed to. It's like it's weak food exactly, and

0:26:05.280 --> 0:26:08.000
<v Speaker 1>it's it's calorie rich show if you have no appetite

0:26:08.000 --> 0:26:11.520
<v Speaker 1>because it's comforted because it has like no seasoning except

0:26:11.520 --> 0:26:15.480
<v Speaker 1>salt and nutmeg. But it's the problem. Would not make yeah,

0:26:15.560 --> 0:26:19.280
<v Speaker 1>nutmeg because nutmeg, nutmeg is nutmeg makes also makes nutritionally

0:26:19.320 --> 0:26:21.520
<v Speaker 1>east flakes tastes like more like she nut makes one

0:26:21.520 --> 0:26:23.919
<v Speaker 1>of the best spices. Nutmeg is often infant fund you.

0:26:23.960 --> 0:26:28.679
<v Speaker 1>I believe y'all. It's pumpkin spice season. I'm souring on,

0:26:28.800 --> 0:26:50.520
<v Speaker 1>which also means it's ghost always going to say, what

0:26:50.720 --> 0:26:54.639
<v Speaker 1>goes with pumpkin spice. It's better than I could ghost.

0:26:55.040 --> 0:26:59.400
<v Speaker 1>It was the first day of fall, like two days ago.

0:26:59.600 --> 0:27:03.639
<v Speaker 1>I was so happy. I'm such a basic be I

0:27:03.760 --> 0:27:07.000
<v Speaker 1>fucking love it. Um. I was just so excited. I'm

0:27:07.040 --> 0:27:09.280
<v Speaker 1>like the person that's excited about the idea of the

0:27:09.400 --> 0:27:11.840
<v Speaker 1>nights becoming longer in the days becoming shorter, which I

0:27:11.880 --> 0:27:16.520
<v Speaker 1>know nobody else is, but I know, I'm I I

0:27:16.560 --> 0:27:18.480
<v Speaker 1>feel that. You know, it's just less time I have

0:27:18.600 --> 0:27:22.280
<v Speaker 1>to wear sunscreen, and that to me is like very valuable.

0:27:22.440 --> 0:27:24.679
<v Speaker 1>Now it sucks. You guys are both wrong. And I

0:27:24.720 --> 0:27:27.040
<v Speaker 1>just don't like the heat, Like it gets cool at night.

0:27:27.280 --> 0:27:29.680
<v Speaker 1>It could be cool and it doesn't have to mean

0:27:29.720 --> 0:27:33.359
<v Speaker 1>that night last like for fifteen hours. I don't like it,

0:27:33.680 --> 0:27:36.960
<v Speaker 1>So it doesn't matter in Los Angeles, like here, it's

0:27:37.000 --> 0:27:39.320
<v Speaker 1>really like, okay, well, I'm ready to go die for

0:27:39.400 --> 0:27:42.840
<v Speaker 1>five That's true. It's true. That's why. That's literally why

0:27:42.880 --> 0:27:45.240
<v Speaker 1>I live here. It's just to not I didn't know

0:27:45.280 --> 0:27:48.040
<v Speaker 1>that about fall until I experienced real New England fall.

0:27:48.119 --> 0:27:51.520
<v Speaker 1>It's definitely a different thing. And you understand, I used

0:27:51.600 --> 0:27:54.840
<v Speaker 1>to like everything fall and winter much more when I

0:27:54.880 --> 0:27:57.080
<v Speaker 1>didn't live in New York City. I still lived in

0:27:57.119 --> 0:27:59.600
<v Speaker 1>that climate because you got all the beauty of it

0:27:59.640 --> 0:28:03.199
<v Speaker 1>without all the like, without the feeling of like the

0:28:03.240 --> 0:28:07.320
<v Speaker 1>walls are about to close in and there's nothing but wait, Molly,

0:28:07.600 --> 0:28:13.879
<v Speaker 1>what's special about fall? Well, aside from the delightful nutmeg

0:28:13.960 --> 0:28:18.040
<v Speaker 1>flavored beverages. Um. The autumn equinox was a couple of

0:28:18.080 --> 0:28:21.240
<v Speaker 1>days ago, which is the day when the veils between

0:28:21.240 --> 0:28:26.720
<v Speaker 1>the spirit worlds are easiest to penetrate. Finally, finally, um.

0:28:26.800 --> 0:28:32.200
<v Speaker 1>And so my friend Emma Cunningham, who is like fifth

0:28:32.240 --> 0:28:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Beetle status and Nightcall, she's out of the p a

0:28:34.840 --> 0:28:39.200
<v Speaker 1>at the Night Call live show, like and did who

0:28:39.240 --> 0:28:41.680
<v Speaker 1>were there? She did close up, close up card magic

0:28:41.720 --> 0:28:44.400
<v Speaker 1>and she's just an all around great cool person. So

0:28:44.680 --> 0:28:50.120
<v Speaker 1>she rented a ghost ometer, a ghost hunting thing. What

0:28:50.200 --> 0:28:54.160
<v Speaker 1>did it look like? It looks It looked like exactly

0:28:54.200 --> 0:28:59.000
<v Speaker 1>what you would sinking ghostbusters. It was like a little

0:28:59.680 --> 0:29:03.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of look like a amp pedal or something. It's

0:29:03.320 --> 0:29:05.880
<v Speaker 1>just like a little electronic or look like the thing

0:29:05.880 --> 0:29:08.200
<v Speaker 1>that you hold on the wall to find nails. Okay, yeah,

0:29:08.240 --> 0:29:12.480
<v Speaker 1>a stud gunder stud finder. But it has did have

0:29:12.520 --> 0:29:14.960
<v Speaker 1>a laser, No, yeah, it also had a laser. It

0:29:15.040 --> 0:29:16.720
<v Speaker 1>was like a two part thing. It came with a laser,

0:29:16.760 --> 0:29:19.040
<v Speaker 1>so you had to point the laser and then hold

0:29:19.080 --> 0:29:21.240
<v Speaker 1>the ometer. How else are you going to penetrate that?

0:29:22.960 --> 0:29:25.640
<v Speaker 1>And the ghostometer has like a little different sectors of

0:29:25.680 --> 0:29:28.680
<v Speaker 1>like it's got like a little oometer and it's like green, yellow, red,

0:29:28.800 --> 0:29:34.680
<v Speaker 1>orange of like, how how much ghost how? So I

0:29:34.720 --> 0:29:37.520
<v Speaker 1>met up with her on the Equinox in Korea Town

0:29:38.000 --> 0:29:39.920
<v Speaker 1>and I was also like, what a great place to

0:29:40.000 --> 0:29:44.520
<v Speaker 1>look for haunted things. There's so many old creepy things

0:29:45.080 --> 0:29:48.520
<v Speaker 1>in go to the place where the ambassador we did.

0:29:49.160 --> 0:29:52.920
<v Speaker 1>We went. She was like, where do you want to go?

0:29:52.960 --> 0:29:54.880
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, I have a very specific like

0:29:54.960 --> 0:29:58.800
<v Speaker 1>let's go to the old bullocks. I saw you were

0:29:59.640 --> 0:30:01.800
<v Speaker 1>looking for ghosts in the pies. Yeah, you can find

0:30:01.840 --> 0:30:04.000
<v Speaker 1>ghosts in that's an old building. We went in there. First,

0:30:04.000 --> 0:30:07.520
<v Speaker 1>we went in the hotel, uh that Hotel Normandy right

0:30:07.560 --> 0:30:10.640
<v Speaker 1>until Normandy. Oh my god, Hotel Normandy. Yeah, and we

0:30:10.640 --> 0:30:13.240
<v Speaker 1>went in like the weird lobby there that has like

0:30:13.400 --> 0:30:15.720
<v Speaker 1>it's very like shining e and there, you know, there's

0:30:15.720 --> 0:30:18.480
<v Speaker 1>just didn't they did they rehab it because it shows

0:30:18.560 --> 0:30:21.920
<v Speaker 1>up sometimes when I'm looking for people then and I'm like,

0:30:22.160 --> 0:30:25.680
<v Speaker 1>this place used to be so so creepy. They turned

0:30:25.680 --> 0:30:28.600
<v Speaker 1>it into a boutique hotel, but it's still totally creepy.

0:30:29.760 --> 0:30:32.360
<v Speaker 1>Looks like the overlook and when you go inside, you know,

0:30:32.840 --> 0:30:35.760
<v Speaker 1>it's like there's like the good restaurant Cassels, which is

0:30:35.760 --> 0:30:38.640
<v Speaker 1>really good and has really good pies. And then there's

0:30:38.680 --> 0:30:41.000
<v Speaker 1>like the big lobby that they were letting people wait

0:30:41.040 --> 0:30:44.160
<v Speaker 1>for tables in. But it's like it's it's exactly like

0:30:45.080 --> 0:30:47.760
<v Speaker 1>the it's just very creepy and art deco and the

0:30:47.840 --> 0:30:50.160
<v Speaker 1>other place. And I feel like it's really haunted around there.

0:30:50.280 --> 0:30:53.640
<v Speaker 1>That I've read about. I feel like, is the Gay Lord. Yeah,

0:30:53.680 --> 0:30:55.040
<v Speaker 1>we went, so we went to the Gay Lord. We

0:30:55.040 --> 0:30:59.760
<v Speaker 1>went to find where did you find the ghosts? Well, okay,

0:31:00.400 --> 0:31:04.600
<v Speaker 1>don't disappoint I will disappoint you. Disappointingly, none of the

0:31:04.640 --> 0:31:08.680
<v Speaker 1>places we went to that were reputedly super haunted revealed

0:31:08.680 --> 0:31:13.920
<v Speaker 1>any ghosts whatsoever. And then some random places would like

0:31:13.960 --> 0:31:18.280
<v Speaker 1>set the meter off very um. The one place we

0:31:18.360 --> 0:31:21.720
<v Speaker 1>got a really high reading outside was in front of

0:31:21.760 --> 0:31:26.160
<v Speaker 1>the church that's now I think a mosaic church, but

0:31:26.240 --> 0:31:28.840
<v Speaker 1>like across from the line, but where there's like the

0:31:29.680 --> 0:31:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Walk of Fame star for Jesus Christ got a ghost

0:31:34.120 --> 0:31:36.280
<v Speaker 1>reading and I was like, well, that makes sense because

0:31:36.280 --> 0:31:41.280
<v Speaker 1>he's the holy ghost, right like Jesus. Jesus is technically

0:31:41.320 --> 0:31:46.600
<v Speaker 1>a ghost. No, but that's okay, might talk about this more.

0:31:46.640 --> 0:31:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I just learned about the Holy Ghost. So I hated

0:31:49.560 --> 0:31:52.280
<v Speaker 1>at the whole point. There's a it's it's separate from you, no,

0:31:52.400 --> 0:31:54.600
<v Speaker 1>I know, but I have a lot of questions about

0:31:54.640 --> 0:31:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Like it's like the Breath of Jesus was one thing

0:31:58.160 --> 0:32:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I read Theologs of Theologians, Theologians Theologians of nightcall let

0:32:05.000 --> 0:32:07.440
<v Speaker 1>us know, yeah, let us know if you think Jesus

0:32:07.480 --> 0:32:11.800
<v Speaker 1>is a ghost, as as your hottest take on the

0:32:11.840 --> 0:32:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Trinity place, and then just in a couple of other

0:32:14.920 --> 0:32:18.560
<v Speaker 1>random places such as like a barber shop. I think

0:32:18.760 --> 0:32:21.080
<v Speaker 1>we just were outside. Do you think that was like

0:32:21.160 --> 0:32:26.440
<v Speaker 1>the ghost of hair? So we did, like we walked around,

0:32:26.600 --> 0:32:28.920
<v Speaker 1>we went to a lot of different sort of every

0:32:28.920 --> 0:32:31.040
<v Speaker 1>old building I could think of. Yeah, and like kind

0:32:31.040 --> 0:32:34.680
<v Speaker 1>of over by where the Ambassador Hotel is for RFK

0:32:34.840 --> 0:32:38.880
<v Speaker 1>got assassinated. But you know, my friend Emma was being

0:32:38.920 --> 0:32:40.920
<v Speaker 1>sort of more of the molder. She was like, I'm

0:32:40.920 --> 0:32:44.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna say, like, the ghosts surreal and we're finding them,

0:32:44.960 --> 0:32:46.760
<v Speaker 1>and we're also like maybe they don't come out during

0:32:46.760 --> 0:32:51.560
<v Speaker 1>the daytime as much. Who knows how it was daytime

0:32:51.560 --> 0:32:55.600
<v Speaker 1>ghost hunting. Are these things work? They measure frequencies, they

0:32:55.600 --> 0:32:58.400
<v Speaker 1>measure temperature. Do you know she was having a nighttime

0:32:58.480 --> 0:33:03.080
<v Speaker 1>ghost hunting party, uh in slumber party. But I couldn't

0:33:03.080 --> 0:33:06.520
<v Speaker 1>go because I was going to Jay z Ambilance. But

0:33:06.840 --> 0:33:10.160
<v Speaker 1>you can we do some daytime ghost stunning. But wait

0:33:10.200 --> 0:33:12.440
<v Speaker 1>a second, how does that You're you're avoiding answering this

0:33:12.480 --> 0:33:14.960
<v Speaker 1>because maybe you don't know how does the ghostometer work?

0:33:15.040 --> 0:33:18.800
<v Speaker 1>What is it measuring? Guess what I do know? Oh

0:33:18.880 --> 0:33:21.239
<v Speaker 1>my bluff. Because I was the scully, I was like,

0:33:21.280 --> 0:33:24.280
<v Speaker 1>I want to know, like, debunk this for me. What

0:33:24.440 --> 0:33:26.840
<v Speaker 1>is this measuring? And she was like, well, it's measuring

0:33:26.840 --> 0:33:32.440
<v Speaker 1>electromagnetic fields. Okay. So one of the other places we

0:33:32.480 --> 0:33:35.760
<v Speaker 1>got a very high ghost reading was a school that

0:33:35.880 --> 0:33:39.200
<v Speaker 1>was probably the most the most ghostie that we got

0:33:38.840 --> 0:33:42.440
<v Speaker 1>a ghosts love children, like we've talked about on the podcast,

0:33:42.600 --> 0:33:46.080
<v Speaker 1>is that children can see ghosts and babies can see. Yeah,

0:33:46.120 --> 0:33:51.040
<v Speaker 1>that grownups can, but wouldn't like computers, Well that would

0:33:51.080 --> 0:33:58.800
<v Speaker 1>be boring correct maybe answer about what was actually happening,

0:33:59.680 --> 0:34:02.200
<v Speaker 1>But it was still really fun to do. Can you

0:34:02.240 --> 0:34:07.200
<v Speaker 1>tape this next time? Yeah? I also brought a book

0:34:07.240 --> 0:34:09.600
<v Speaker 1>with me today because I was very excited about this.

0:34:09.680 --> 0:34:12.319
<v Speaker 1>That's The ghost Hunter's Guide to Los Angeles. It looks

0:34:12.360 --> 0:34:15.120
<v Speaker 1>like an old book. Um. And when I went to

0:34:15.160 --> 0:34:17.200
<v Speaker 1>the jay Z and Beyonce concert, it was at the

0:34:17.280 --> 0:34:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Rose Bowl, which is in Pasadena along the Arroyo Seco,

0:34:22.200 --> 0:34:25.680
<v Speaker 1>like very close to Doubles Gate actually, and it was

0:34:25.760 --> 0:34:30.160
<v Speaker 1>just like a very very you know, like a fun, communal,

0:34:30.760 --> 0:34:33.799
<v Speaker 1>witchy event to be at a lot of a lot

0:34:33.840 --> 0:34:37.040
<v Speaker 1>of moon harvest. How witchy can it be there? If

0:34:37.719 --> 0:34:42.799
<v Speaker 1>I decided, I was kind of like, he has to

0:34:42.880 --> 0:34:46.640
<v Speaker 1>stand there while she like tells us all like what

0:34:46.680 --> 0:34:48.640
<v Speaker 1>he's done wrong, and he has to take it. And

0:34:48.680 --> 0:34:51.479
<v Speaker 1>there's something kind of satisfying about that, you know, like

0:34:52.280 --> 0:34:54.520
<v Speaker 1>they would like, you know, do big pimpin and then

0:34:54.560 --> 0:34:57.200
<v Speaker 1>follow it with like a Beyonce song about like no, no, no,

0:34:57.280 --> 0:35:03.359
<v Speaker 1>fucky that pimping away. So we have another night call

0:35:03.480 --> 0:35:10.400
<v Speaker 1>this week about some creatures. Hi, I'm very behind and

0:35:10.440 --> 0:35:12.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm just now listening to you guys talk about whales

0:35:12.800 --> 0:35:15.680
<v Speaker 1>and how whales came from the land, which is creepy.

0:35:15.719 --> 0:35:17.319
<v Speaker 1>But then he talked about hippos and I had to

0:35:17.360 --> 0:35:21.080
<v Speaker 1>call in because, um, I'm obsessed with the story of

0:35:21.160 --> 0:35:24.719
<v Speaker 1>hippos moving to Colombia. So you should definitely look it up.

0:35:24.719 --> 0:35:28.360
<v Speaker 1>But Pablo Escobar had a weird zoo on his property

0:35:28.600 --> 0:35:32.480
<v Speaker 1>and he had all these hippos brought from Africa, and

0:35:32.600 --> 0:35:35.759
<v Speaker 1>when he was arrested, they started escaping. And now Colombia

0:35:35.880 --> 0:35:39.120
<v Speaker 1>has all of these hippos and it's like exactly the

0:35:39.160 --> 0:35:41.560
<v Speaker 1>same climate of Africa, but without the drought. So they're

0:35:41.600 --> 0:35:44.680
<v Speaker 1>becoming the dominant predator. And everyone thinks hippos are cute

0:35:44.719 --> 0:35:46.920
<v Speaker 1>and cuddly, just like Carvel did, but actually they are

0:35:47.040 --> 0:35:50.680
<v Speaker 1>dangerous and terrifying and I think like the second or

0:35:50.800 --> 0:35:54.800
<v Speaker 1>third most like deadly predator. So it's a huge problem.

0:35:54.920 --> 0:35:57.560
<v Speaker 1>And Columbia doesn't want to kill them because Columbia has

0:35:57.600 --> 0:36:01.840
<v Speaker 1>reputation problems and so it's just becoming this like epic

0:36:01.920 --> 0:36:06.280
<v Speaker 1>problem and they're just everywhere and it's an amazing story.

0:36:06.440 --> 0:36:08.840
<v Speaker 1>And I just thought you guys should know. So happy

0:36:08.960 --> 0:36:12.640
<v Speaker 1>night call, I like, happy night call is like a

0:36:13.640 --> 0:36:15.840
<v Speaker 1>as like a greeting or a happy night call, and

0:36:15.920 --> 0:36:19.200
<v Speaker 1>a happy night call, can I just say that good night.

0:36:19.719 --> 0:36:22.920
<v Speaker 1>I loved this call so much. I had never heard

0:36:22.920 --> 0:36:26.320
<v Speaker 1>about this, had you guys know it. But it's fairly

0:36:26.360 --> 0:36:29.319
<v Speaker 1>well documented because as soon as you start typing in

0:36:29.760 --> 0:36:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Pablo Escobar hippos. You get our suggestions. Um tess, you

0:36:36.200 --> 0:36:39.839
<v Speaker 1>were once obsessed with the Fidel Castro's tiny cows, right, yeah,

0:36:39.880 --> 0:36:41.800
<v Speaker 1>I was. I mean it just the idea of tiny

0:36:41.800 --> 0:36:44.719
<v Speaker 1>animals is very intriguing to me, but unfortunately they're not

0:36:44.800 --> 0:36:47.919
<v Speaker 1>really real. Yeah, I can't really do so. I think

0:36:48.239 --> 0:36:51.680
<v Speaker 1>this is like a big problem. I mean even you know,

0:36:51.840 --> 0:36:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I think throughout history, but like I guess a lot

0:36:54.640 --> 0:36:57.920
<v Speaker 1>during the Victorian times when people would like the exotic

0:36:57.960 --> 0:37:00.719
<v Speaker 1>pets thing was a big craze. And I saw this

0:37:00.800 --> 0:37:03.480
<v Speaker 1>like very very funny short film for a film festival

0:37:03.520 --> 0:37:07.480
<v Speaker 1>I was during once that was about um, a panther

0:37:07.760 --> 0:37:11.239
<v Speaker 1>that was loose in the Italian countryside, and it kind

0:37:11.280 --> 0:37:13.480
<v Speaker 1>of became this sort of white whale for all these

0:37:13.480 --> 0:37:15.520
<v Speaker 1>old guys. They all wanted to like kill this panther

0:37:15.960 --> 0:37:19.200
<v Speaker 1>that apparently had escaped from somebody's home because they thought

0:37:19.200 --> 0:37:22.160
<v Speaker 1>it would be cool to own a panther. Uh yeah,

0:37:22.320 --> 0:37:26.400
<v Speaker 1>so they think twice next time you you decide you

0:37:26.440 --> 0:37:29.520
<v Speaker 1>want to own a raccoon. Actually, raccoons are a bad example,

0:37:29.520 --> 0:37:33.880
<v Speaker 1>but I always fantasized about I watched a documentary about

0:37:33.960 --> 0:37:36.680
<v Speaker 1>raccoons that is very good and on YouTube it's like

0:37:36.719 --> 0:37:39.880
<v Speaker 1>a Canadian PBS documentary or something you can watch where

0:37:40.560 --> 0:37:42.400
<v Speaker 1>one of the things that talked about was like a

0:37:42.480 --> 0:37:45.360
<v Speaker 1>lot of people in Japan getting raccoons as pets because

0:37:45.400 --> 0:37:49.520
<v Speaker 1>of the success of Palm Poco and well that those

0:37:49.560 --> 0:37:52.400
<v Speaker 1>were like tan of keys though I thought so, I thought,

0:37:52.520 --> 0:37:55.400
<v Speaker 1>but it was kind of talking about like maybe it

0:37:55.480 --> 0:37:58.040
<v Speaker 1>was just saying that, like raccoons are brought into cities

0:37:58.320 --> 0:38:02.200
<v Speaker 1>and then they adapt so incredibly well to living in city. Right,

0:38:02.280 --> 0:38:05.359
<v Speaker 1>they're so smart. They're smart, and they have thumbs, they

0:38:05.360 --> 0:38:09.480
<v Speaker 1>have they're fully human. Um, they can practically drive cars. Yeah,

0:38:09.680 --> 0:38:14.000
<v Speaker 1>it's like cars are their main predator in the city.

0:38:14.120 --> 0:38:16.440
<v Speaker 1>That's like their main issue. Back to hippo so real

0:38:16.520 --> 0:38:20.480
<v Speaker 1>quick and Emily found a really good thing on motherboard

0:38:20.640 --> 0:38:23.840
<v Speaker 1>on Vice's motherboard about how the hippos are having so

0:38:23.960 --> 0:38:26.520
<v Speaker 1>much sex and like, I think you're trying to castrate

0:38:26.560 --> 0:38:30.000
<v Speaker 1>the hippos. Um, yeah, they're trying, and they've only succeeded

0:38:30.000 --> 0:38:32.080
<v Speaker 1>in castraaing for it as of this article which was

0:38:32.160 --> 0:38:36.840
<v Speaker 1>from So maybe they've done more. But I didn't understand

0:38:36.840 --> 0:38:39.000
<v Speaker 1>it so much to be that they couldn't kill them

0:38:39.080 --> 0:38:42.600
<v Speaker 1>for reputational reasons. But just that it's like really really

0:38:42.640 --> 0:38:45.279
<v Speaker 1>fucking hard to kill. No, they're huge and they will

0:38:45.360 --> 0:38:48.120
<v Speaker 1>kill you know. Here's the deal. National Geographic did an

0:38:48.120 --> 0:38:52.520
<v Speaker 1>interview with an environmental expert from Colombia and he was like, Okay,

0:38:52.560 --> 0:38:55.960
<v Speaker 1>so this basically Pablo Escars. The state was called Hacienda

0:38:56.040 --> 0:38:59.319
<v Speaker 1>Napoles and Um and it's open as like a theme part.

0:38:59.400 --> 0:39:02.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah exactly, so so dark and it's like it has

0:39:02.800 --> 0:39:05.359
<v Speaker 1>like some of them most of the animals were relocated,

0:39:05.360 --> 0:39:07.520
<v Speaker 1>but some of the animals remain, like an ostrich and

0:39:07.560 --> 0:39:10.600
<v Speaker 1>like they claim a rare goat, which like I don't

0:39:10.640 --> 0:39:15.160
<v Speaker 1>know what that means, but neverlands. Yeah, there's there's twenty

0:39:15.280 --> 0:39:18.399
<v Speaker 1>eight hippos at the Haciana and this is from also

0:39:18.400 --> 0:39:19.920
<v Speaker 1>a couple of years ago. We could use an update,

0:39:20.000 --> 0:39:23.080
<v Speaker 1>but forty others in like nearby lakes and rivers. But

0:39:23.160 --> 0:39:25.880
<v Speaker 1>the guy was like, so hippos are super dangerous and

0:39:25.920 --> 0:39:28.960
<v Speaker 1>they're the number one deadliest animal in Africa. But he

0:39:29.040 --> 0:39:33.840
<v Speaker 1>was like when people started proposing that they kill the hippos, everyone,

0:39:34.000 --> 0:39:36.160
<v Speaker 1>it was like a huge scandal and everyone was like no,

0:39:36.560 --> 0:39:39.600
<v Speaker 1>because he said he used the word charismatic like three

0:39:39.600 --> 0:39:43.040
<v Speaker 1>times in this rideoun it's very very funny. It was

0:39:43.080 --> 0:39:47.000
<v Speaker 1>like hippos are charismatic, and they you can't eat them.

0:39:47.120 --> 0:39:50.040
<v Speaker 1>You can't eat hippo meat because they carry diseases. So

0:39:50.080 --> 0:39:52.200
<v Speaker 1>you couldn't be like we're farming the hip like you know,

0:39:52.200 --> 0:39:54.200
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna take the hippos. At least we're gonna eat them.

0:39:54.360 --> 0:39:57.200
<v Speaker 1>You would just be killing the hippos and just to

0:39:57.280 --> 0:40:01.080
<v Speaker 1>like get rid of them. And everybody was very upset

0:40:01.320 --> 0:40:03.160
<v Speaker 1>because it's also I get it. I mean, if you

0:40:03.239 --> 0:40:05.759
<v Speaker 1>knew they were hipp they're really cute. The babies are

0:40:05.800 --> 0:40:09.360
<v Speaker 1>super cute, So I don't know, I'm kind of just scared.

0:40:09.480 --> 0:40:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I've never really had the hippos are cute face because

0:40:12.000 --> 0:40:15.200
<v Speaker 1>their mouths are so terrifying, and I remember just being

0:40:15.200 --> 0:40:21.160
<v Speaker 1>scared of them and the jungle they but they've got

0:40:21.200 --> 0:40:24.359
<v Speaker 1>like round efaces, the baby faces and the tiny little

0:40:24.360 --> 0:40:28.640
<v Speaker 1>twitching crocodile is scary. Well, it's not warmpo even though

0:40:28.680 --> 0:40:34.200
<v Speaker 1>it has like giant teeth. It's like very cute. Um.

0:40:34.239 --> 0:40:37.439
<v Speaker 1>There is a mascot at the park who knows who

0:40:37.480 --> 0:40:40.239
<v Speaker 1>responds to her name, and her name is Vanessa. So

0:40:40.280 --> 0:40:43.360
<v Speaker 1>it's also like you can't like have a hippo mascot

0:40:43.480 --> 0:40:46.239
<v Speaker 1>and then be like, Okay, all of Vanessa's relatives who

0:40:46.320 --> 0:40:49.439
<v Speaker 1>like escaped, you can just like it's open season on them.

0:40:49.480 --> 0:40:52.359
<v Speaker 1>But like, but meanwhile, here's Vanessa, who's like a dog

0:40:52.400 --> 0:40:54.879
<v Speaker 1>who comes when she's called. You know, I want to know,

0:40:54.960 --> 0:40:59.600
<v Speaker 1>like what other species are they decimating? Oh otters and manatees.

0:41:00.680 --> 0:41:04.000
<v Speaker 1>And they're also they also mess up all the rivers

0:41:04.160 --> 0:41:08.880
<v Speaker 1>because that they start algae blooms because of their poop.

0:41:09.880 --> 0:41:13.399
<v Speaker 1>It's too much. Can they can they like put them

0:41:13.440 --> 0:41:19.600
<v Speaker 1>all in like a hippo hippo sanctuary, You probably needs

0:41:19.680 --> 0:41:22.600
<v Speaker 1>so much room though, because I think and I think,

0:41:22.600 --> 0:41:24.879
<v Speaker 1>it's just so hard to round them up. Yeah, that's

0:41:25.080 --> 0:41:27.160
<v Speaker 1>like I think it's easier to kill them maybe than

0:41:27.200 --> 0:41:29.799
<v Speaker 1>to round them up. That's why when they when when

0:41:30.200 --> 0:41:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Escobar died and all the rest of the animals in

0:41:33.680 --> 0:41:36.200
<v Speaker 1>his menagerie were rounded up and put into zoos and

0:41:36.320 --> 0:41:39.800
<v Speaker 1>you know wherever. But they couldn't they couldn't handle the hippos.

0:41:39.880 --> 0:41:41.920
<v Speaker 1>And also like I think all these zoos were like,

0:41:42.000 --> 0:41:44.080
<v Speaker 1>it's cool, we have one hippo, we don't need more.

0:41:44.239 --> 0:41:47.440
<v Speaker 1>And everyone was like sure, we got like six hippos

0:41:47.520 --> 0:41:49.200
<v Speaker 1>here and they were like, no, we don't want those

0:41:49.280 --> 0:41:50.680
<v Speaker 1>hip because hippos. Yeah, I mean, if you have a

0:41:50.719 --> 0:41:53.080
<v Speaker 1>hippo to zoo, it's like a huge liability. That's someone

0:41:53.160 --> 0:41:56.000
<v Speaker 1>like you know, your kid falls in the cage, goodbye,

0:41:56.080 --> 0:41:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Nobody's going to save the kid because like nobody wants

0:41:58.080 --> 0:42:01.279
<v Speaker 1>to wrestle with a hippo. You know, just dark, dark

0:42:01.360 --> 0:42:06.920
<v Speaker 1>times it is. I say, one of my favorite details

0:42:07.000 --> 0:42:10.919
<v Speaker 1>from this, outside of the hippos themselves, is just this

0:42:11.040 --> 0:42:15.160
<v Speaker 1>actual park that was on his compound, the Hassian and Nipples,

0:42:15.200 --> 0:42:17.600
<v Speaker 1>whose sign if you look it up, just looks like

0:42:17.640 --> 0:42:20.840
<v Speaker 1>the Jurassic Park sign. Yes, it's the same. Fun It

0:42:20.960 --> 0:42:22.840
<v Speaker 1>is so crazy. I don't know. It must be on

0:42:22.920 --> 0:42:26.279
<v Speaker 1>purpose because they have I think they would have been

0:42:26.320 --> 0:42:28.719
<v Speaker 1>like the nineties or something whenever I don't know, or

0:42:28.760 --> 0:42:32.400
<v Speaker 1>maybe they didn't know he died. I don't know a

0:42:32.440 --> 0:42:34.680
<v Speaker 1>ton about it, but like, didn't he build the theme park?

0:42:34.840 --> 0:42:37.359
<v Speaker 1>Is like like the people loved him because he built

0:42:37.360 --> 0:42:39.560
<v Speaker 1>the theme park. Well, I think I don't know if

0:42:39.600 --> 0:42:41.720
<v Speaker 1>it was like because he did do that, he would

0:42:41.719 --> 0:42:44.920
<v Speaker 1>do kind of like civic improvements to be like I'm

0:42:44.960 --> 0:42:48.359
<v Speaker 1>not just selling cocaine, I'm also doing this and that

0:42:48.760 --> 0:42:51.239
<v Speaker 1>and they were like, Okay, but I think I'm investing

0:42:51.280 --> 0:42:53.520
<v Speaker 1>back in the community, right. But a lot of his

0:42:53.680 --> 0:42:55.680
<v Speaker 1>estate was just for his own ship. Like he had

0:42:55.719 --> 0:42:58.200
<v Speaker 1>like a big collection of like vintage cars and like

0:42:58.239 --> 0:43:01.000
<v Speaker 1>a sculpture made out of dinosaur bone, the hippos in

0:43:01.000 --> 0:43:04.319
<v Speaker 1>the vintage cars. There was a go kart, uh like,

0:43:05.800 --> 0:43:08.839
<v Speaker 1>So it's like a Ritchie rich house. It's basically it's

0:43:08.920 --> 0:43:11.000
<v Speaker 1>like that house in life and how where you're like

0:43:11.680 --> 0:43:14.520
<v Speaker 1>the dream house of like a ten year old, like

0:43:14.880 --> 0:43:19.960
<v Speaker 1>a slide from one floor to the bottom floor, zip lines,

0:43:20.280 --> 0:43:24.759
<v Speaker 1>hidden room of candy from around the world. Well that

0:43:24.840 --> 0:43:27.480
<v Speaker 1>does it for this this week's Night Call. Thanks to

<v Speaker 1>Swiss secretion. We just want to add a final note

0:44:10.280 --> 0:44:12.440
<v Speaker 1>to the Mayo discussion. What I realized part of what

0:44:12.520 --> 0:44:14.520
<v Speaker 1>grosses me out about it is that there's egg yoke

0:44:14.640 --> 0:44:18.040
<v Speaker 1>in it, but it's like not refrigerated. Tell your ghost

0:44:18.080 --> 0:44:21.920
