42
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 6: Thanks for having me, guys. I'm so excited to be here.

43
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 6: I love the Bananas podcast and it is just surreal

44
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 6: to be here.

45
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: Thanks v V. I don't know about your podcast. Can

46
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 2: you tell our listeners the bananimals a little bit about it?

47
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

48
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 6: So oftentimes when we learn about a story, we hear

49
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 6: about the headline, we get all worked up about it,

50
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 6: and yes, disappears into the ethos, so we never ever

51
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 6: hear about it again. Yes, So what I wanted to

52
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 6: do was tell you kind of like what happened after

53
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 6: it becomes a trending headline, because most of the time

54
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 6: things turn out even better than we were.

55
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: Afraid it would turn out.

56
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 6: So hopefully it gives you a little a little sense

57
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 6: of peace, gives you the full story, makes you more conversational,

58
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 6: very interesting to your friends and neighbors.

59
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: That's awesome. That's totally cool.

60
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 3: And we we talk about that idea a lot because

61
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 3: of the fact that, you know, we're doing so many

62
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 3: strange news headlines where usually getting our information from one

63
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 3: short news article and there's always these questions and we

64
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 3: don't have the journalistic integrity to do any deeper dives

65
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 3: on it, and so it's nice to finally have someone

66
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,119
Speaker 3: with some integrity on bananas.

67
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know about that.

68
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 6: I definitely have the doom scrolling curiosity to figure out

69
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 6: what happens afterwards.

70
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: That's integrity, you know, here and there and goes.

71
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: It's kind of a throwback thing too, because when people

72
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: used to read newspapers for all their news or a

73
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 2: majority of their news, and you hear this a lot

74
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: on like documentary podcasts or just audibles or whatever, where

75
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: people would read front page news and then they'll say,

76
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: and then it was a page two story, and then

77
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: it got buried on page five, and then it's always

78
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: like and then it was right before the comics or

79
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: right before the sports section, and over like two weeks

80
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: something would go from front page to buy the sports section.

81
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: So you're kind of doing that. You're sweeping it up

82
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: and putting it back out there as a presentation.

83
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: We're sweeping it up.

84
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean that's why page six would was such

85
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 6: a thing, because you would have like, you know, the

86
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 6: husband who would read the sports in this and when

87
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 6: you separate the newspaper, you'd be able to pull the comments,

88
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 6: the comics, the police blotter, and the gossip straight from

89
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 6: one area and then be able to keep like business

90
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 6: finding some sports on the other side.

91
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: So trying to like bridge that divide. Oh, you'll get

92
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: the whole story.

93
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: That's good. There we go. Well, welcome to bananas. We

94
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 2: will do headlines that we're we just do surface. Who

95
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 2: we kidd and we're surface boys.

96
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: It's nice to skim the surface. It's good. It's good,

97
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: safe here on the surface.

98
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 4: Yeah. Here it is guys.

99
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 3: Friends at first sniff people drawn to others who smell

100
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 3: like them. Okay, this was on France twenty four. Sure

101
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 3: it was written by well well, well, well, well do

102
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 3: you France twenty four not have a byeline France twenty

103
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 3: four does not mediumists in the biz.

104
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: How can we trust them?

105
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 2: Then?

106
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: How do we know that they know what they smell like?

107
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: If we don't know that they know what their name is?

108
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 3: It says it says Washington, and then in parentheses AFP,

109
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 3: and I'm not sure what AFP refers to in the

110
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 3: French world.

111
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 4: Like everyone, yeah, decided, everyone wrote this together. Everyone wrote

112
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 4: one word in the office here do you like the

113
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 4: way I smell? So I know exactly. It's just like,

114
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 4: of course the French are studying this.

115
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 2: I love that.

116
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 3: It's often said that people who click right away share

117
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 3: quote chemistry. This expression could be true in the literal sense,

118
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 3: according to a new study published in the journal Science

119
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 3: Advances on Friday.

120
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 4: And this is just from this week.

121
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 3: Quote non human terrestrial mammals constantly sniff themselves and each other,

122
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 3: and based on this decide who's friend or foe, wrote

123
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 3: a group of researchers led by in Ball Ravbee at

124
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 3: Wiseman Institute of Science in Israel.

125
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 4: Uh.

126
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 3: Since people seek friends who are similar to themselves, a

127
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 3: team hypothesize that humans may smell themselves and others to

128
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 3: subcon consciously estimate body odor similarity and judge their compatibility

129
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 3: find so to find out, they said about collecting samples

130
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 3: from pairs of same sex, non romantic friends who described

131
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 3: themselves as having quote clicked at first sight, that is

132
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 3: to say, quote where a sense of friendship was formed

133
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 3: before extensive biographical information was exchanged.

134
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 4: They did an extensive recruitment effort.

135
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 3: They found twenty pairs, half male, half female, so this

136
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 3: is not a big study, age between twenty two and

137
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 3: thirty nine years old. In order to prevent contamination or

138
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 3: outside factors influencing their samples, all participants had to follow

139
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 3: a strict protocol that included avoiding pungent foods and sleeping

140
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,559
Speaker 3: away from their partner and pets in a clean cotton

141
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 3: T shirt that was provided to them. The T shirts

142
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 3: were then collected in ziploc bags and tested with an

143
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:48,799
Speaker 3: electronic nose.

144
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 4: Did you guys know that there is such a thing

145
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 4: called it electronic nose?

146
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 6: I feel like, for the problems there are in the world,

147
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 6: the fact that we have an electronic nose is like,

148
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 6: where did they get the funding for that?

149
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: Because I love it.

150
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 4: I love that they have an electronic nose. It is

151
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 4: so funny.

152
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: It feels like a garage inventor's invention that probably worked.

153
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 2: It feels like there was someone that was like had

154
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 2: at a workshop in their garage and they were like,

155
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: I love, I want to smell what my partner's cooking

156
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 2: in the house when I'm out here in the shop.

157
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 2: So I'm going to build a little nose. And it

158
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 2: just feels like and then probably the military is like,

159
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: got it, We're taking that.

160
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, it definitely has like a little peebe Herman vibe

161
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 6: to it, like something he would have in his house.

162
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 3: Yes, I also know that they were trying to do

163
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 3: it through the internet for a while so that you

164
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 3: could like experience something. So there was there would be

165
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 3: like an EOS on one end and at the other

166
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 3: end if someone's smelling like a freshly baked cake, and

167
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 3: then you could and you would have a receptacle on

168
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 3: your end that would generate the same chemicals that the

169
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 3: EOS was receiving one end.

170
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: That is too close.

171
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 6: People are too close with that level of intimacy IgE

172
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 6: people having that kind of access.

173
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 3: No, So then the T shirts were collected and put

174
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 3: in zip black bags test with the electronic nose. The

175
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 3: researchers found that the odor signature of click friends were

176
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 3: statistically more closely matched than odors between non friends. And

177
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 3: then I will you know, summarize this next part. And

178
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 3: then they made sure that the human nose actually could

179
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 3: detect that difference. And so they had three piles three

180
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 3: shirts to just normal people, and they said, smell all

181
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 3: three does any one of them smell different? And all

182
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 3: of them one hundred percent identified the non friend as

183
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 3: the one that smelled different, and they identified the other

184
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 3: ones as smelling similar.

185
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 6: I need to know if like smelly friends like smelly friends,

186
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 6: like clean friends, like clean friends. And that's like the

187
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 6: basics of this, or was it like more complicated.

188
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 3: It was more complicated than that, because it was I

189
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 3: think they weren't allowed to like use soap and stuff

190
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 3: like that, so it's not about whether or not you're

191
00:08:58,520 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 3: clean or not clean.

192
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,719
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's more pheromones. It's the specific pheromones you have.

193
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 3: And then and then they did this other thing too,

194
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 3: where smell predicted friendships as well, and so they had

195
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 3: all of these strangers come in and then they paired

196
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 3: up people who the eCos said smelt similar, so they're

197
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 3: strangers and then had them do this thing where they

198
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 3: silently without speaking, had to follow like do a the

199
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 3: mirror game, you know, like mirror.

200
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 4: The person's moves and the people. It is such a

201
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 4: dumb test.

202
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 3: I agree the people who smelt similar were much easier

203
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 3: to mirror each other than the people who smelt differently

204
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 3: from each other, which is that's also fascinating.

205
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,599
Speaker 6: Can be added to the Tinder profiles any day with

206
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 6: like a blood type, but it'll be like a smell type,

207
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 6: and you'll see like the guy with the fish is

208
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 6: like a one two five, the girl with all the

209
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 6: filters and she's like also a one two five, And

210
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 6: then it'll be like love it first sight, and we

211
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 6: won't have to You won't have to ever think about

212
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 6: personality or nuance weple, just match it up algorithmic.

213
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 2: I know, I don't think too many people in they're

214
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 2: thinking personality anyways. I actually think the smell might be

215
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 2: the better indicator. But I do like guy with fish

216
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 2: that is a cool Like swipe was like whoa.

217
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: I mean, like he is showing that he could provide

218
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: for you. Yes, you want to be provided for.

219
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 3: There's a really good mixed Sweety's article that was got

220
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 3: like it was just I think it was like guy

221
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,599
Speaker 3: with fish explains how he'll take care of you.

222
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 2: Profile. I, for.

223
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 6: One, am very much a fan of Show and tell.

224
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 6: I think we should have adult show and tell.

225
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 4: Oh, yes you have.

226
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 6: You know, if you're going to show the fish that

227
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,599
Speaker 6: you could catch, to the to the females that you

228
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 6: are trying to also catch.

229
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 1: I think that makes sense. I mean from your lures.

230
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: Next time, maybe there'll be more attracted to that.

231
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: That would be fun.

232
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 4: You know what did this did? This article did make

233
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 4: me think of though?

234
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 3: Is that there The more I feel like science does

235
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 3: these sorts of studies, the more like our free will

236
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 3: is taken away, you know, like it's no longer about

237
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 3: what we feel, what we care.

238
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 4: It's literally like, well you smell.

239
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: Like this, so I like you like that's it.

240
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 4: And I do feel like there is some.

241
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 3: Level of truth to it, only because I remember when

242
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 3: I met my wife, I was at a Yola Tango

243
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 3: concert in Brooklyn, a complimentedor on her shirt, started chatting,

244
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 3: found out she was on a date with someone who

245
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 3: I knew at the place, and so we talked like

246
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 3: ten minutes.

247
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 4: She went back to being on a date with this

248
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 4: person I knew.

249
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 3: And then we're outside and it was I had a

250
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 3: ten minute conversation with her and she's leaving with that guy,

251
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 3: and I'm outside smoking a cigarette with my friend Chris,

252
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 3: and I turned and I just said, there.

253
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 2: Goes a girl.

254
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 4: I was pretty drunk, but I was like, there goes

255
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 4: a girl.

256
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 2: I'll go Mary.

257
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 3: Oh.

258
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 4: No, like Chris remembers it, and it was not something

259
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 4: that I like would say a lot.

260
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 2: No, it's not.

261
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 4: It's the only time I ever said it.

262
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 6: And then we are married now, so I think there

263
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 6: was like maybe a strong Brooklyn wind that came by

264
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 6: just at that point, and like the scent of you

265
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 6: and the cigarette just walked it towards her. Heavy lipew

266
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 6: came back around.

267
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: Was like, that's my guy.

268
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 4: We got married right there.

269
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 3: She started, her nose went up and then she floated

270
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 3: through the air, her feet above the ground.

271
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 6: I think that's such a beautiful story. Congratulations, Thank you

272
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 6: so much.

273
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,599
Speaker 2: And it was just a scrap metal yard nearby. And

274
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 2: you both just have a thing for rust and copper

275
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 2: and that explains.

276
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 6: A lot, but is a good that'd be a good

277
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 6: band name though, like rust, copper and cigarettes. Cigarettes in

278
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 6: my first love could be like a song.

279
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 2: Oh I could open for your la tango? But Kurt,

280
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 2: did you It is interesting? Do you do you remember

281
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 2: any smell Like when you went on your first date

282
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 2: with Lauren was just like did something click? Do you

283
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 2: remember like pheromones clicking in sense watting your way?

284
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 4: No.

285
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 3: I think it's just I think it is subconscious. It

286
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 3: is something that just operates below our our little ego mind. Yes,

287
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 3: our nose, yeah, right below our nose.

288
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 2: If I smell white diamonds, Elizabeth Taylor's white diamonds or

289
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 2: Chanell number five, it makes me think of my grandmothers.

290
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, so, and I've said that to other

291
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,599
Speaker 2: people and they're like, yes, me too. That was like

292
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 2: such a scent in the eighties and nineties and number

293
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 2: five is classic. Yeah.

294
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 3: I have certain ones that are from past relationships that

295
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 3: when I smell them, I'm like, there's that person, and

296
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 3: then it's like, no, that person's not here, it's another person.

297
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 1: And so that's a danger smell.

298
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just like I'm on alert V.

299
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 2: Do you do you and your partner agree on the

300
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 2: scent of candles?

301
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 6: We do, And we actually just went candle shopping. Yes,

302
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 6: like like the lesbian couple, we are big sale at

303
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 6: the bath and body works and.

304
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 4: They're like, very, I need some candles.

305
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 6: I'm going I'm telling you their Midsummer sale. And so

306
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 6: we actually have such an agreement on scent. Do we

307
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 6: have an agreement on like what's the living room scent

308
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 6: versus like what's the kitchen vibe versus the bedroom vibe?

309
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 6: So it's like lavender and lilac in the bedroom, but

310
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 6: then like orange pineapple in the living room and kitchen area,

311
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 6: and like leaven in the bathroom.

312
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 4: Seeing ooh, I really like that.

313
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 6: This is the benefit of being married to a woman,

314
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 6: and also being a woman is like you get to

315
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 6: like really curate the sense on like.

316
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: A micro level.

317
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 6: Absolutely everything is scented, lotioned, beautiful, clean, colored, coordinated.

318
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 1: I like that.

319
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 2: And that's sort of where I was going. Like an

320
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 2: extension of this test would also be like agreement on

321
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 2: domestic scent seems like something that might be an indicator,

322
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 2: but maybe not. Maybe it's totally Awfu'll have to call

323
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 2: France over.

324
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 4: I bet it's I bet it's I think it's totally related, right.

325
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've also been buying a lot of candles as well,

326
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 3: because my we Want we Want does video where it's

327
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 3: like trying to get our kids ready for bed, So

328
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 3: we make like a SPA experience in the bathtubs. So

329
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 3: they take a bath in the dark with candles and

330
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 3: with like SPA music playing to like fucking shut down.

331
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 4: They're like, I've got to destroy everything kind of vibe,

332
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 4: you know.

333
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 3: And so I've been buying a lot of candles because

334
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 3: we just go through them so quickly, and there's a

335
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 3: constant fight.

336
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 4: The two that the kids love.

337
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 3: One is Bahama Breeze and the other one is Miami Mocktail.

338
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 3: And my son has a speech delay, and there's a

339
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 3: fight over Miami Mocktail to blow it out because it

340
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 3: has two candles. It has like two wicks, so that

341
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 3: one's the better one to blow out because they each

342
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 3: get to blow one out.

343
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 4: But then Gus is always just.

344
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: Like my Miami on ale, Miami on nail.

345
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,800

361
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 2: bar orders a mocktailed Miami and Gus's eyes just pop

362
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 2: out of his head shaped like hearts, and his tongue

363
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 2: waggles out and steam comes out to his ears.

364
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,920

373
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 2: so many good stories. So thanks, Amanda Jean right, we

374
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 2: appreciate it. This was in Newsweek. This was written by

375
00:16:54,240 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 2: Simona Katananovska. Katanovska Man says he spent over eight thousand,

376
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 2: five hundred dollars a year on a pepsi cola addiction.

377
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 2: Oh my god, eight five hundred dollar a year on

378
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 2: pepsi a supermarket worker.

379
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 1: I mean better than coke. I guess, I mean depends.

380
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 4: I don't know.

381
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 3: Was it straight pepsi not dietpepsis? That's surprising. I always

382
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 3: feel like these addictions are diet pepsi for some reason.

383
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 2: Right, diet coke, diapepsi, diet doctor pepper. You see people

384
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 2: drinking those like they're going out of style. Yeah, A

385
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 2: supermarket worker who spent eight thousand, five hundred dollars a

386
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 2: year guzzling thirty cans of pepsi a day for decades.

387
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: I have always wondered how pepsi stayed in business. Honestly,

388
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: this guy, now we know. I'm like, how do they

389
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: have the budget for those Super Bowl commercials? That was

390
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: so good. It's this guy.

391
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 2: It's this guy that's right. For two decades has been

392
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 2: cured after he was hypnotized. We have a lot of

393
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,959
Speaker 2: stories or addictions have been cured by hypnotisms.

394
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 4: Especially like food addictions.

395
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 2: Yes, Andy Curry forty one down, a leader of the

396
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 2: fizzy drink every morning and drank a further nine liters

397
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 2: a day. That it's so much pepsi, it's it's wild.

398
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 2: It's wild even has.

399
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: Teeth to have the time though.

400
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 6: Also, yeah, it would be like time consuming, constantly refilling glass,

401
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 6: getting the eyespeing.

402
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 3: He must have had a backpack or something or I'm

403
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 3: just wearing those hats the whole time.

404
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 4: He just keep switching out the cans.

405
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, b the Briton has sipped an estimated to two

406
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 2: hundred and nineteen thousand cans of pepsi nearly eighteen thousand

407
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 2: pounds of sugar, the equivalent of seven million sugar cubes,

408
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 2: since he started drinking it in his twenties. Curry, from Bangor,

409
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 2: a city in northern Wales, said quote, I've always loved

410
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 2: the taste of al Yeah, I bet you did, But

411
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 2: I've always loved the taste of a cold pepsi nothing

412
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 2: could beat it, and I just got hooked. I mean,

413
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 2: I wish I loved anything in life like this. Dude,

414
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 2: Andy Curry loves pepsi.

415
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 4: I work, I don't. I don't love it anything that much.

416
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 2: It's true. I work nights, so there always liked the

417
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 2: sugar rush and it kept me going. I go through

418
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 2: four or five two liter bottles of pepsi every day

419
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 2: because I work at Tesco, I could buy it straight

420
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 2: after work and take it home. Also, how do you sleep?

421
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 2: That is so much caffeine while you were doing this?

422
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 6: Because I'm a visual learner, I would just like look

423
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 6: up what this fella look like to like put a

424
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 6: face to the name in the addiction, and he does

425
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,239
Speaker 6: look exactly like a person who would drink that much.

426
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 2: Ei.

427
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 6: Okay, I'm glad he actually he looks, he looks he

428
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 6: appears to be in like good health.

429
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 5: I was.

430
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 3: He seems okay, all right, he's still got teeth, he's

431
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 3: still got teeth.

432
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: Yes, he's got his hand out against all the PEPSI.

433
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 6: I'm just picturing like what he could have done with

434
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 6: seven million sugar cubes Like that would have been a

435
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 6: hell of a sugar cube pyramid.

436
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 2: Igloo for sure. Yeah, until the rains come. Curry, who's

437
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 2: married to his wife Sarah, who's thirty nine, which we

438
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 2: love name and ages in this article.

439
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: Said he loves the smell of pepsi apparently exactly.

440
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 2: I wonder if she smells like pepsi, maybe wild cherry pepsi.

441
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 2: He spent twenty five dollars a day on pepsi, amounting

442
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 2: to around eighty five hundred per year, which is oh.

443
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 2: He added, it cost me a fortune. To be honest,

444
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 2: I could have bought a car every year for the

445
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 2: same amount I was spending on pepsi. Wow.

446
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 6: Wait, though, where do you get an eighty five hundred

447
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 6: dollars car? This don't have to be taking place in

448
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 6: America because you can't even get gas.

449
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 2: One tank of gas in California. Here you in California.

450
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: I am not right now, right now, I'm in New York.

451
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, I go be same diff same if the

452
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 2: gas is the nightmare there too. Andy says, I just

453
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 2: needed to have it. As soon as I woke up,

454
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 2: I'd go to the fridge and pour myself a large

455
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 2: glass of pepsi and carry one throughout the day. I

456
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 2: remember going to weddings, birthdays while other people were popping champagne.

457
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 2: I'd be toasting people with a can of fizzy pop. Wow.

458
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 6: Just picturing like the handicap that that provides though, like

459
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 6: if you always had a glass in one hand.

460
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: And he's just like, you know what. But good for him.

461
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 6: He went and he got married. He's got a job

462
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 6: that he's held down all this time. But that's right,

463
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:19,719
Speaker 6: Maybe Pepsi's the secret.

464
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 2: That's right. He did balloon up to two hundred and

465
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 2: sixty six pounds. His doctors warned him he was at

466
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 2: risk of becoming diabetic. I don't know enough about diabetes

467
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 2: to really comment on this, but it seems like that

468
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 2: much pepsi. I'm kind of stunned that he wasn't. Through

469
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 2: exercise and diet, he managed to lose twenty eight pounds.

470
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 2: Good for Andy, but he could not stop drinking pepsi.

471
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 2: He contacted a London based therapist and hypnotist named David

472
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 2: kil Murray, who identified Curry as having avoidant restrictive food

473
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 2: intake disorder, which Kurt, we have talked about that before

474
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 2: our FID amazing Lee. Amazingly, after just one one online

475
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 2: hypno therapy session, one online who knew the internet. Not

476
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 2: a huge man.

477
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 4: It ties.

478
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. Curry was cured and drank water for the first

479
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 2: time in two decades.

480
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 4: Oh my oh oh. He also never drank water. I

481
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 4: guess you don't have time exactly.

482
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 2: Yeah he was. He always had a beverage in hand.

483
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 2: In four weeks, he dropped another fourteen pounds and is

484
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 2: remarkably more healthy. Curry said, I met David online and

485
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 2: he hypnotized me for forty minutes. So two decades fixed

486
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 2: in forty minutes. Go get that help, guys. We are

487
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 2: very busy this number. Yeah yeah, David kill Murray, No,

488
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 2: keep it, put it in your rollodecks. I don't know

489
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 2: what he said, but afterwards I just didn't want to

490
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,479
Speaker 2: drink pepsi anymore. I still got two cans of pepsi

491
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 2: in my fridge, which I was going to have. Also,

492
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 2: shoot those with a BB gun get them out of there. Andy.

493
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 2: Do I even tempt yourself?

494
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, you don't need those trophies. You don't need those temptations.

495
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 2: Yes, I'll skip ahead a little bit because I think

496
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 2: we get it. Oh, he loves walking now, Sarah. Me

497
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 2: and Sarah are planning to climb Mount Snowden this summer.

498
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 2: That's great. The doctor said, this is by far the

499
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 2: worst sugar addiction I've ever heard of. This kind of

500
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 2: addiction can be very dangerous. It puts huge pressure on

501
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 2: your vital organs. Andy was pre diabetic and needed to

502
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 2: change quickly before his heart disease took him, but he

503
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 2: took control of his life it became. Since I'm working

504
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 2: with him, I'm delighted to see that he drinks lots

505
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 2: of water and healthy drinks every day. So good for you,

506
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 2: Andy for figuring it out. But holy smokes, that is

507
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 2: so much pepsi.

508
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 5: I know.

509
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 6: I wonder if they could have just like saved some

510
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 6: time and showed him the Pepsi commercial where Kendall Jenner

511
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 6: is like handing a pepsi to the police.

512
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: That made me never want to drink a pepsi again.

513
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: So I feel like it could have been. Maybe he's

514
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: just like more susceptible to to direction.

515
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 4: It was such an insane commercion.

516
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 2: Yes, oh god, oh god, I mean that. That's crazy

517
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 2: to me. When I when I moved to Atlanta, I

518
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 2: had never seen a smoothie king before, and there was

519
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 2: one just like five blocks from my house. So after

520
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 2: I I wait at tables and I was waiting brunch,

521
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 2: I would grab a smoothie king go, And after like

522
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 2: two weeks down there, I was kind of like, I

523
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 2: think I'm getting I think I'm growing another face here.

524
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 2: And my girlfriend at the time was like, yeah, you

525
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 2: do kind of look a little different. And I thought

526
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 2: smoothies were just healthy for you, no matter what. And

527
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 2: I ended up like googling it, and the smoothie I

528
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 2: was drinking, which was like Peanut Power Plus or something,

529
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 2: was twelve hundred calories per thirty two ounces or whatever.

530
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 2: So I was just having like, you know, a third meal,

531
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 2: like an extra day of food every week. It was great.

532
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: They trick you.

533
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 6: When I first started wanting to go to the gym,

534
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 6: my brother was like, who is like six foot two it, like,

535
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 6: you know, built like like Adonis himself. It was like, yeah, okay,

536
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 6: well you got to drink this thing before and after.

537
00:24:58,480 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 6: And so the whole week that my brother was like

538
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 6: and he teach me how to go to the gym,

539
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 6: which went very poorly. Anyway, he was like, drink this thing,

540
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 6: drink this thing, and it was like one of his

541
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 6: protein chicks that were again like two thousand calories on

542
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 6: either side of it, and so I gained weight during

543
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 6: this weekend.

544
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: What the hell?

545
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 6: It was like, Oh, oh right, you're not trying to

546
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 6: bulk right, you sabotaged me.

547
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 2: All gains, all games, games, all games.

548
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: I was like, oh God.

549
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 2: When I was in college, I went to UMass, we

550
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 2: would just get dressed up at parties. We would just

551
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 2: dress up any costumes we had sitting around. My friend

552
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 2: group is a very fun group of guys, and I

553
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 2: can remember one night my buddy Franco, dressed up as

554
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 2: this character Wendel, and that was just a Wendy's employee

555
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 2: at a red afro. And then another buddy had worked

556
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 2: for Wendy's, so we had a full, actual, authentic Wendy's uniform.

557
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 2: We convinced Franco when he was sitting there his Wendel

558
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 2: to try to eat five containers of bubble tape at once,

559
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 2: which is a tube of bubble tap tap is six feet,

560
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 2: so we tried to hit him to chew thirty feet

561
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 2: of bubble tape in one go.

562
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 3: It's amazing that you had five containers of bubble tape.

563
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 3: It's amazing you had one container of bubble tape. That's

564
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 3: right in your college you had five yes, where everybody

565
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 3: skips house.

566
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Skip had the bubble tape, of course.

567
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so Franco went to it and I will

568
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 2: find this. We recorded it, and Franco or Wendel, I

569
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 2: guess I should say, ended up getting thirty feet a

570
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 2: bubble tape inside of his mouth for like two chews.

571
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 2: You just seem stuffing it with his fingers. He closes

572
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 2: his mouth and then he gives like a double thumbs

573
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 2: up and we all cheer, and then it just hangs

574
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 2: out and you can just hear like two of the

575
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 2: people at the party being like, it.

576
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 5: Looks like a baboon's ass. He looks like a baboon's ass.

577
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 5: But I have I'll find It's gonna be a low

578
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 5: five video. It was definitely before smartphones. But yeah, he

579
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 5: chewed thirty feet of bubble tape just for enjoyment, just

580
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 5: for the fun of it.

581
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 6: If there's one thing in my life, I am so

582
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 6: grateful for it, it is going to college before social

583
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 6: media thing because this kind of stuff wouldn't fly right.

584
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 6: The internet is forever, and Wendell would just be like

585
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 6: his character. They would force him to make that content

586
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 6: until he eventually completely burnt out.

587
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, just so sad Vine stars just still walking

588
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 2: around Hollywood and Vine and you're like, get it up, guys.

589
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 6: No, I do all my tiktoks from underneath the desk

590
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 6: and I love it there. It's a safe place to

591
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 6: hear the news. And I wear a suit in every

592
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 6: single one of the episodes. And now two years later, I'm.

593
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: Like, I should have picked like a less diffucults on

594
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: your back.

595
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 5: This is it.

596
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 6: You can never change. This is who you are once

597
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 6: you identify yourself for the Internet brand.

598
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're like, you can't go above the desk. It's

599
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 4: under the desk news. You can't do it.

600
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: No, it's in the name. I did it to myself.

601
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 1: It is a good safe space for news.

602
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 2: But it is so funny.

603
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 3: You should you know, what you should honestly do is

604
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 3: just have a set built with a giant desk that

605
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 3: you sit in a chair underneath.

606
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: People have suggested getting like a little desk hat.

607
00:27:58,520 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 4: I like that.

608
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,720

660
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 6: not always this fun, and this is really quite a treat.

661

Speaker 2: have you.

663
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 4: So you just started You just started doing under the

664
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 4: desk news just two years ago.

665
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, just to that's amazing, went into our homes.

666
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 6: It was the beginning of the pandemic and a lot

667
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 6: of the news that was coming out was super scary,

668
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 6: and I thought like, yep, maybe if I just got

669
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 6: under my desk we could talk about it have to

670
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 6: be like authoritative and scary, and it can just be

671
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 6: like a place for friends together and build like a

672
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 6: little fort and chat about the terrible things that were happening.

673
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 2: But that's a great idea.

674
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 3: And now I mean, did you did you did you

675
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 3: immediately feel a sense of responsibility towards it or did

676
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 3: that just continue to grow as your audience grew.

677
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: I immediately felt really addicted to it. It Oh good sense, like.

678
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 2: I interesting have.

679
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 6: There are so few things that you do in your

680
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 6: life that you just truly enjoy and look forward to,

681
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 6: and I found that like this thing that I just

682
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 6: started kind of doing goofy, I was like looking forward

683
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 6: to all the time, like spending this time with that community,

684
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 6: making those videos, like buying ties, trying to match the

685
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 6: ties to the stories, trying to like curate a feed

686
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 6: that would give people some hope at the end. And

687
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 6: I got a lot of positive reinforcement back.

688
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: So it was the thing. Definitely.

689
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 6: The first time I did it, I knew that I

690
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 6: never wanted to stop doing it, and it just brought

691
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 6: me so much happiness, And so I didn't know where

692
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 6: it would go, and I didn't know that it would become,

693
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 6: you know, like the trajectory of my career. But I'm

694
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 6: really glad that it did, because it just I'm addicted

695
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,479
Speaker 6: to it, Like I truly look forward to it all

696
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 6: the time. I look forward to reading the comments from

697
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 6: people and just telling better stories. It's you just can't

698
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 6: beat it. That's why I can't get up from under

699
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 6: the desk, because like if I moved, I won't like

700
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 6: it so much.

701
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 4: And I read it.

702
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 3: I mean, you have such an interesting background as well.

703
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 3: You used to work in food equity.

704
00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 6: Yes, So I've always been really good at explaining complicated

705
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 6: things in very common terms. And I think some of

706
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 6: that comes from growing up with dyslexia, which is like

707
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 6: you have a hard time recalling words a lot of

708
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 6: the time. It was like kind of difficult for me

709
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 6: to learn how to read. So I wasn't like super

710
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 6: reading books all the time. Like the Pizza Hut book

711
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 6: at program I've talked about near ruined my childhood because

712
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 6: they would give you like a hundred books and you

713
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 6: win like a stupid little pizza. But I would be

714
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 6: so frustrated about this. Yeah, and my wife loved book it,

715
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 6: but my mom would be reading the books, my Grandma'd

716
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 6: be reading the books just to try and get me

717
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:31,239
Speaker 6: to check some of them all. So I've always been

718
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 6: good at explaining really complicated, terrible things in very simple

719
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 6: ways that also make people feel included and like they

720
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 6: can do something, and so that really helps play into

721
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 6: how I'm delivering current events and politics in the news.

722
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 6: And how I got into politics was I was a

723
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 6: caterer in Washington, d C. So I was in all

724
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 6: of these rooms that these politicians were in, and you

725
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 6: just get to see them as people, and I think

726
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 6: that helps decipher what they mean when they say certain stuff.

727
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 6: And it also helped me see that we're not as

728
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 6: divided a nation as we are told that we are,

729
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 6: because when nobody's looking, they're all back in the catering tent,

730
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 6: eating magic bar cookie, smoking cigarettes and laughing with each

731
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 6: other for the most part.

732
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:09,479
Speaker 4: That's great.

733
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: So I think I had a unique perspective.

734
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 6: I got to be in the room where a lot

735
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 6: of things were being decided during the Obama administration, just

736
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 6: you know, with my little tray of crab cakes and

737
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 6: my little white wines on the trays.

738
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, so that's how it started.

739
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 6: So I think, like anyone who's like a genuinely curious person,

740
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 6: it led me into greater opportunities and I'm happy to

741
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 6: be here now.

742
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 2: That's great. I was a cater waiter too. It is

743
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 2: a fascinating look into people's homes a lot of times,

744
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 2: like I went, not only at like events spaces. Also

745
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 2: I just got to say, if you go, you can

746
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 2: totally just tip your cater bartenders especially, but there's nothing

747
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 2: weird about tipping a cater waiter.

748
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: Just do it.

749
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 2: They'll let you know if they're going to get in

750
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 2: trouble for it. But dear lord, if you're drinking for

751
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 2: free and you're going to be there all night, smack

752
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 2: a twenty down if you got it. It makes such

753
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 2: a difference. The loading and load out of those things

754
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 2: are exhausting.

755
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I waited tables in New York because I just

756
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 6: think the best people have worked in hospitality in some level.

757
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: It just teaches you so much about people.

758
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 6: Yes, and we would do the Saturday night live after

759
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 6: parties at the restaurant, and so we got to see

760
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 6: a lot of the celebrities of like the early two thousands,

761
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 6: which is kind of like our generation's primetime. I guess, yes,

762
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 6: And man, these people come in and they are crazy,

763
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 6: and you've got some folks who will come in like

764
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 6: Drew Barrymore was awesome. Yes, she was like dancing on

765
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 6: my bar Adele was at the restaurant, like so lovely

766
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 6: so love Adele. But then you have different celebrities I

767
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 6: probably shouldn't name, but they'll look at you when you

768
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 6: hand them their check and they're like, but I'm a celebrity,

769
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 6: and I'm like, yeah, and.

770
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: I make like nine dollars an hour.

771
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 6: Please pay your check because otherwise I'm gonna have to

772
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 6: pay it, and like I don't have.

773
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 2: It, and like, but that is true and a lot

774
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 2: of because I've gotten dropped the first time I went

775
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,320
Speaker 2: to an SNL after party, they dropped a check for me,

776
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 2: I assumed they were free. I think my goals and

777
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,759

Speaker 2: at four am, and I was like, oh, oh right,

00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 2: Lauren did this.

782
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 1: Everybody did, so I totally get that.

783
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 6: But know that the inside scoop is Lauren gives fifteen

Speaker 6: hundred dollars for the music guest, fifteen hundred dollars for

785
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:10,080

00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 1: I reminded it like a Florida man or is it

790
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: like better worse difference?

791
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 4: I think it's about better Florida manta. Colorado man is

792
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,240
Speaker 4: usually colorad was slightly different.

793
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 2: Always outdoors.

794
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 3: This was sent in always by Candle E. Candle underscore e.

795
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 3: Thanks no more information on that.

796
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 5: This is uh.

797
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 4: This was in the Huffington Post. This was written by

798
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 4: Ryan Grinnoble.

799
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 3: Best in the Babies, Colorado man plans to push peanut

800
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,720
Speaker 3: up fourteen thousand foot Pike's peak with his nose?

801
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 2: Why not?

802
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 4: Here it is Bob Salem is a great question. That's

803
00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 4: the number one question.

804
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 3: Bob Salem is somewhat of a modern day Sissyphus, but

805
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 3: nuttier best.

806
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 2: In the biz, great writing.

807
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 3: Unlike the Greek legend who was condemned to roll a

808
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 3: boulder up a hill for eternity, Salem aims to push

809
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 3: a peanut up Pike's piece period with his nose period

810
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 3: by choice. Okay, I can, Salem will picture it. I

811
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 3: will give you a I will your nose. Okay. All

812
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 3: your questions will be answered other than why Salem will

813
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 3: embark in his Pike's peak peanut push. It's great, great,

814
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,240
Speaker 3: alliteration on July ninth, and intends to reach the fourteen

815
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 3: and fifteen foot summit on his hands and knees by

816
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:41,399
Speaker 3: July seventeenth, so eight days. According to a release from

817
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,280
Speaker 3: the city of Manito, Spring Salem, will use a contraption

818
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 3: taped to his nose to roll the legume up the

819
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 3: thirteen mile long bar trail. He's making the attempt in

820
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 3: honor of the cities one hundred and fifty anniversary at

821
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 3: the base of the forty four ear improbably as it sounds,

822
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 3: the journey to shell and back has been accomplished before,

823
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 3: not once, not twice, but three times Poser.

824
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: Nineteen All men, every time I promise you.

825
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 3: Of course nineteen twenty nine, a Texan by the name

826
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 3: of Bill Williams came the first. After making a five

827
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 3: dollars bet with his friends, he and the peanuts summited

828
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 3: quote America's Mountain in two days. That record fell in

829
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 3: nineteen sixty three, when a twenty one year old rock

830
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 3: and roll musician named Ulysses Baxter made the push in

831
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 3: just eight days. Baxter enlisted the help of a large

832
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 3: wooden salad spoon, which he taped to his nose, A

833
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 3: newspaper photo taken as he neared the summit shows.

834
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 2: That's cheating, but okay, we'll give it to him.

835
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,919
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm just worried about the peanut, like rolling back

836
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 6: down the hill.

837
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 4: I think that's probably a constant problem.

838
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 2: There is.

839
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 3: So I found the original article from Oh well this

840
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 3: is I found the original article. It was published in

841
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 3: an NPR article from twenty sixteen called Meet the man

842
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 3: who pushed a peanut up Pike's Peak with his nose.

843
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 4: It's a black and white photo.

844
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 3: It's a very flat spoon, a very wide spoon, and

845
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 3: it's taped just with one piece of like athletic tape

846
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 3: across the bridge of his nose and the peanut is.

847
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 3: It's a black and white photo of him on his

848
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 3: hands and knees. And this is like there's boulders and

849
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 3: giant rocks around. It's so insane. The peanuts there, peanut

850
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 3: is shell is in a shell, so that does it's

851
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:36,800
Speaker 3: not a loose peanut. It is a shell peanut. And

852
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 3: then it says Pike's Peak peanut pusher. This is from

853
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 3: nineteen sixty one.

854
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 4: Ulysses L.

855
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 3: Baxter, a rock and roller from Oklahoma City near is

856
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 3: the end of his eleven mile peanut pushing journey eleven miles.

857
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, and so very helpful visual though to know that

858
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:53,320
Speaker 6: the peanut is in a shell, because it's like, what

859
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 6: if you like accidentally eat it.

860
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 4: Right, you have to wait it out and continue rolling.

861
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: You better not stop.

862
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's amazing because also Scotty and I this fit.

863
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 3: We've talked on the podcast about it in the past,

864
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 3: but we met talking about how we both would like

865
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 3: to take a pullman cart and and and drive it

866
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,800
Speaker 3: across country. Yes, and still would, but I think a

867
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 3: pullman cart across country is as equally.

868
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 2: Exhausting horrific, Yeah as going up.

869
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: Way cooler way cooler. That well it is.

870
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 6: She's got like really something people could take a picture with,

871
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 6: they could maybe enjoy it.

872
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:34,280
Speaker 1: Also, there's only one peanut.

873
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 2: What do you do with it?

874
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 1: At the end of such selfish endeavor, it.

875
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 4: Gets put in a museum.

876
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,800
Speaker 3: The three peanuts have been in a museum or the

877
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 3: tip I would like to see actually that peanut.

878
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's worth the road trip. It doesn't take much

879
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 2: to get me in my car.

880
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 4: It's in Manitou Springs.

881
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 2: I'll go.

882
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,280
Speaker 1: You got to love like a roadside attraction.

883
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 6: We love it, really is it really is the best,

884
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 6: Like South of the Border if you love it to

885
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 6: Florida so fun, so dangerous, so fun.

886
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 3: For some reason, South of the Border bumper stickers in

887
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 3: New Jersey where I grew up were like.

888
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 4: Considered the coolest thing to have, and I never understood that.

889
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 3: It was like, why do we have why does everyone

890
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 3: have this bumper sticker from a place in like South Carolina,

891
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 3: and like it never made any sense to me, and

892
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 3: that the border is just the border between North Carolina

893
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 3: and South Carolina.

894
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 6: It's like everybody's dad's favorite thing. Right, Like I lived

895
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 6: in Connecticut, so like if we were driving to Disney

896
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 6: or something, and we did we did, Yes, you take

897
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 6: their children on planes.

898
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: Now, we didn't have that in the eighties, not me.

899
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 6: We've been driving the Cutlass Supreme down to Florida, right,

900
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 6: and they could always stop at South of the Border,

901
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 6: and you would think it was the biggest deal in

902
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,280
Speaker 6: the world. And I actually thought I was in Mexico,

903
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 6: but I wasn't, and we weren't even halfway there at

904
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 6: that point. I'd be like, god, Dad, you went too far,

905
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 6: and he would pretend like you went too far and

906
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 6: like we weren't gonna go to Disney. It's very traumatic for.

907
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 2: Our international listeners. South of the Border is a gas

908
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 2: It's a truck stick gas station with restaurants. It has

909
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 2: rides like ferris wheels, carousels. But they also sell lots

910
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 2: of weird stuff like they'll sell moccasins or like deer

911
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 2: hides or dream catchers. They sell fireworks, they sell alcohol,

912
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 2: they sell pop guns, they sell all these things that

913
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 2: when you're on a big East Coast on I ninety

914
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 2: five road trip, you stop and everybody they got something

915
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,800
Speaker 2: for everybody. Me Mall's in there eating an ice cream Sunday.

916
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 2: It's just like Peepall's at the light gun shooting gallery.

917
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 2: It's just fun.

918
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 4: And Scotty in Arc Yeah, yeah.

919
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 3: Scotty and I actually wrote a TV show for a

920
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 3: for adult swim called Last Exit that was based on

921
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 3: South of the Border, but at post apocalyptics South of the.

922
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 4: Border and never anywhere, no thank you, no thank you adults.

923
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 6: That would be a good time to bring that back,

924
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 6: because if you've been to South of the Border recently,

925
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 6: it is not the nineteen eighties version that we remember

926
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 6: it is.

927
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 1: It is very post apocalypse.

928
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 5: Oh it is.

929
00:42:55,800 --> 00:43:00,919
Speaker 2: It's Rundown, Big TP Big t Rex. Yeah, it looks old,

930
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 2: it's seen better days. I love that. So wait, was

931
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 2: this guy doing it for charity? You were just doing

932
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 2: it to break the record.

933
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,760
Speaker 3: He did it to celebrate the one hundred and fiftieth

934
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 3: anniversary of the town.

935
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,399
Speaker 2: Oh wow, he goes.

936
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 3: He starts in July. He starts July eighth, So it's

937
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 3: coming up. So I don't know when this episode comes out,

938
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 3: but probably close to July eighth.

939
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 2: Probably, And anybody listening if you want to do something

940
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 2: equally grueling and horrifying, we're doing our Banana Splitty in

941
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 2: the city on July twenty third, which is v We

942
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 2: are doing a downhill one k run from one bar

943
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,839
Speaker 2: to another bar. All pro seeds go to the La

944
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 2: Food Bank, which and we've already sold. We're doing great. Actually,

945
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 2: we've exceeded what I thought we were going to sell. Yes,

946
