Speaker 3: a whole book, you know, I mean Outlast.

74
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 7: Especially, but it's also it's not my first language, so

75
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 7: I always there is a lot of correction on staff,

76
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 7: and it was it was okay, so I understand.

77
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 3: Also, in addition to being an incredibly successful restaurant tour

78
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 3: and chef, you've also started doing stand up as well.

79
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: This is very yes, it is.

80
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 6: It's actually it's one of the hardest things I ever did.

81
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 6: And it was it was around four years ago, four

82
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 6: or five years ago, and I said, I want to

83
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 6: do something for myself, and what I like the most

84
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 6: is to laugh. There is nothing better. That's what I

85
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,679
Speaker 6: watch all the time. It's comedy. And I was like, okay,

86
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 6: I'm going to take a class, and I went to

87
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 6: the comedy seller classes and then I started and yeah.

88
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 5: And then it's funny because later.

89
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 6: On I was doing the whole food for the Olive

90
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 6: three on top of the comedy celler and I became

91
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 6: very close to the owners and the manager.

92
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 5: So I was like, yeah, it's like my home there.

93
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 5: It's it's I don't know. I had a really hard,

94
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 5: long career as a chef.

95
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 6: I think like being a comedy and a successful comedian,

96
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 6: and it's like it's the tough things it well.

97
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: Also, you can't delegate, you can't tell anybody else to

98
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 2: do part of the set for you. You're it's you

99
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 2: standing there and all eyes and ears are on you,

100
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 2: where you can't be like, can you start prepping that

101
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 2: for me? It's like, oh, go be funny, you five minutes.

102
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: Be funny for five minutes. To strangers, it.

103
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 6: Is weird because I do a lot of like panels

104
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 6: and talk and I don't mind like a huge crowd.

105
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 6: I'm fine, But when it's coming to it's such a

106
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 6: different things it was and but there is such a

107
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 6: nice adrenaline into that that it was like drone to death, like.

108
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,479

00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: zooms that when I saw the email introducing the introductory email,

125
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,360

Speaker 2: your restaurant and I used to get the falafelpita there,

131
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: but I would put so many ingredients I'd have to

132
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 2: eat it. Oh, every sauce, every vegetable. I used to

133
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 2: load that thing up like it would feed me and

134
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,480

Speaker 6: So I said, I have to write that story and

159
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 6: to have it with a lens, and like lenses of culinary.

160
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,240

162
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 6: to say, not an easy process. So I decide to

163
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 6: go all in and be very vulnerable. And there is

164
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 6: like situation there that I'm like, oh my god, now

165

Speaker 3: luggage inspection, CBP officers discovered more than this is bold

211
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,120

00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 3: for it. Twelve pounds of ketymine, twelve pounds of kedemye.

213
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: That's enough ketemene to work.

214
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 3: Out with until one arm and get a good workout

215
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 3: in both liquid and powder form. About two pounds of

216
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,359
Speaker 3: codine and nearly three ounces of GHB.

217
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 2: That's a lot.

218
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 3: However, not long after posting bail, the mail passenger, who

219
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,119
Speaker 3: was not identified as a US citizen, was again seated.

220
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: At the airport, tried to board a.

221
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 3: Flight to London when CBP officers found more than half

222
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 3: a powd to ketymede. He somehow found to half a

223
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 3: pound to ketemede in Seattle and was going to take

224
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 3: it back with a h man. I mean, like I

225
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 3: understand I was talking with Aaron on when after she

226
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 3: sent this, where I understand the idea in his head

227
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 3: that must have been there, which is like it can't

228
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 3: possibly happen twice, Like the chances of it happening once

229
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 3: are like low, and there's no way. It's like lightning

230
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 3: striking twice. But then like the addict brain doesn't also think,

231
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 3: oh no, but now I'm on.

232
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: A watch list.

233
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will be now be checked every time I fly.

234
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: Yes, I love the ball.

235
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 5: I want to know how old he is.

236
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 3: He's forty three years old, so been probably been at

237
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 3: this for a bit. The bolt, that's suggest That's what

238
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 3: explains the boldness to me, twelve pounds. He must have

239
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 3: gotten away with it before.

240
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 2: That's right. That's what I was thinking too, is sure

241
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 2: they caught this guy twice, but did they not catch

242
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 2: him the one hundred times he's done it since two

243
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 2: thousand and one?

244
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 6: Right, but this is kind of a mount that will

245
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 6: set you. So why you want to do it again?

246
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 6: If you succeed the first few times?

247
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 5: What three?

248
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 6: I think it's around your twenties, you do. I did

249
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 6: a lot of crazy stuff in my twenty that now

250
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 6: I look back.

251
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 5: I'm like, hey, oh my god, oh my god. I

252
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 5: really hope my kids would not do that shit.

253
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 6: So it's like it's like it's because I was so,

254
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 6: you know, fearless, and I thought I would live forever,

255
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,239
Speaker 6: and I was like, no fears whatsoever.

256
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've talked to several friends about this. I don't

257
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 2: know if this has ever happened to you. But I

258
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 2: was in Vegas and I had worn a suit to

259
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 2: a thing that we were all doing, and a friend

260
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 2: that I was with was like we woman that I

261
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 2: was with was like, will you hold this Molly? And

262
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 2: I was like sure, So I put it in my

263
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 2: breast pocket. And then I flew with that suit many

264
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 2: times to the airport with probably oh yeah, probably I

265
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 2: don't know six or seven of Mollie before because like

266
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 2: and also like I've put on suits that I haven't

267
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 2: worn in two years, and you'll find like the funeral

268
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 2: card in the one thing you're like, oh, yeah, I

269
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 2: was at that funeral last time I wore this black suit,

270
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 2: or the wedding thing that you're like, here's the menu

271
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 2: for that wedding three years ago. But yeah, one day

272
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 2: I was just like thinking about everybody had been doing Mollie,

273
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 2: and then I was like, that was crazy, And then

274
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 2: it hit me and then I realized that the suit

275
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 2: I'd been traveling with for a long time and I

276
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 2: got it dry cleaned and it was in a bag,

277
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 2: and so yeah, I was running drugs for nobody for years.

278
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 3: And right, and you're a guy who doesn't do very

279
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 3: many drugs and so right. So, but this guy, he's

280
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 3: used to traveling with twelve pounds of kenemine, so a

281
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 3: half a pound of ketamine to him, he forgot about it.

282
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 3: He didn't even know that was just in the lining

283
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 3: of his pants. That's what he's normally walking around with

284
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 3: a half pound of kenemede, eight full ounces.

285
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 2: I'm wondering, let's think of a food equip. How much

286
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 2: does a gallon of milk way?

287
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 3: A gallon of milk? Ooh, I'm gonna guess. I have

288
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 3: a guess on that. I'm gonna say four pounds?

289
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 5: You not?

290
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 2: Do you have a guess on how much a gallon of.

291
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 5: Milk ways at three point three?

292
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 2: Okay? I looked it up and according to Google dot com,

293
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 2: which is the website I've used before, it's eight point

294
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 2: six pounds. What so this guy was carrying the equivalent

295
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 2: of a gallon and a half of milk of just

296
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 2: ketamine and just trying to smooth sail it on. I

297
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 2: want to see his bag. You want to know how

298
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 2: old he was. I want to see what he was like.

299
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 2: It wasn't just a Sam's night roller. Was it an

300
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 2: old college duffel bag? Like forty three year old man

301
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 2: can be pretty invisible in social situations. Maybe he just

302
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 2: needs a better disguise, is what I'm saying. Yep, damn yes.

303
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 2: Have you ever had to sneak ingredients in anywhere to

304
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 2: any of your restaurants? Have there ever been anything where

305
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 2: you had to go through customs and sneaks spices?

306
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 5: Or are you are you trying to get me in jail?

307
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 5: I did it for you never so so yes, always,

00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 6: specifically right, yes, yes, I'm like no, he.

316
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 5: Said, but they're right. I'm not gonna lie.

317
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 6: I said, they're gonna take everything, and course they did,

318
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 6: and I was very upset.

319
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 5: Yes I brought these, and but that's great.

320
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 2: So yeah, you're smuggling meats and cheeses. And what a

321
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 2: great thing to smuggle.

322
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: What a wonderful smuggle.

323
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 2: I would enjoy that.

324
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: I remember trying to I.

325
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 3: Flew with with the cats as cats as Salami to

326
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 3: to Thailand. I heard, so the cats is delicatessen uh

327
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 3: and I, you know, the senda salami to your boy

328
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 3: in the army. And and so I was going to

329
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 3: visit my brother who was a diplomat and he was

330
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 3: stationed in UH in Thailand and sneaking a a large

331
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 3: it's like a foot and a half long salami sneak Thailand.

332
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,959
Speaker 3: They were like, there's a question like do you have

333
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 3: any meats? Are you traveling with any processed meats?

334
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 2: That's right, I.

335
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: Said to lie.

336
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 3: And then my brother was very excited when I pulled

337
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 3: up with a giant thing of salami, because it's not

338
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 3: something you get in Bangkok very often.

339
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 6: I always find it very funny because I've been in

340
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 6: Thailand many, many times, and I always find it that

341
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:53,479
Speaker 6: it's most restricted with bringing ingredients inside, like really they're

342
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 6: very very strict. But the crazy stuff that's going on,

343
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 6: like it's just I found it always really funny.

344
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, okay, we can't bring salami, but like.

345
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 1: You walk out on the street and you can eat cobra.

346
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, pretty much a monkey brain there is a lot.

347
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 2: Yes, interesting, interesting, I have here, sure, And you know

348
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 2: what I'm curious about. How do you feel about things

349
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 2: like Yelp and trip Advisor and Google reviews. Do you

350
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 2: feel like they work in your favor? Do you hate

351
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 2: these things?

352
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 6: I have a whole bit in my comedy about Yelp,

353
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 6: So yeah, I don't the last time, I don't read Yelp,

354
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 6: and I don't read reviews good or Yelp.

355
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 5: I would read the different reviews in a more like crazy. Okay.

356
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 5: So Razzie is like a yeah, yes, the.

357
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 6: Reservation system we're doing and they give so it's people

358
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 6: that been got the service of the food, fell the atmosphere.

359
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 6: They can give me a criticism. I want to hear

360
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 6: from them. But there is like, I don't know. I

361
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 6: don't like Yelp.

362
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 5: I'm not. I don't know it's working for the restaurant, right.

363
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 2: But Rezie's okay because I used Rezzie a lot, like

364
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 2: That's that's my go to I think. Okay. The reason

365
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 2: I ask is because this one is about people making complaints.

366
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 2: Here it is, this was in Yahoo News. This was

367
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 2: written by the best in the complaint business, Joshua zitzer

368
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 2: Uh And this was sent in by Amy Rose Taylor.

369
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 2: Thank you Amy Rose Taylor for star rating for Amy

370
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 2: Rose Taylor. Nearly half of all aircraft complaints noise complaints

371
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 2: made in Australia last year were filed by one person

372
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 2: who complained twenty seven hundred and sixteen times.

373
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: So he bought a house underneath a flight plan.

374
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:04,479
Speaker 2: So person Australia complained to twenty thousand, seven hundred and

375
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 2: sixteen times about aircraft noise complaint one year. In one year.

376
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I've gotta figure out.

377
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 2: You run the numbers someone living on any go ahead?

378
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 5: Please, I'm twenty two years old.

379
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean, let me see. They usually do

380
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 2: say that ages. Here we go, someone living on how many.

381
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 3: It's fifty seven complaints a day, every day for three

382
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty five days, and that's it out of

383
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 3: you take any time off fifty seven? How many hours okay,

384
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 3: how many hours you awake you're awake, let's say sixteen hours.

385
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 2: Okay.

386
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,959
Speaker 1: You have to make three and a half complaints.

387
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 3: Per hour from the moment you wake up to the

388
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 3: moment you go to bed.

389
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 2: This is a classic yelper. I think someone living under

390
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 2: a flight path in Western Australia is a prolific complainer.

391
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 2: In fact, their complaints amounted to nearly half of all

392
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 2: the complaints about air traffic noise pollution made in Australia

393
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 2: last year. According to data provided by Air Services Australia,

394
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 2: the unidentified person from Perth complained about the sound of

395
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 2: overflying aircraft twenty thousand, seven hundred and sixteen times last year,

396
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 2: or as Kurt said, three and a half times three

397
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 2: and a half times an hour for the entire year.

398
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 2: The West Australian was the first media outlet to report this.

399
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 2: In comparison, according to Air Services Australia's data, the runner

400
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 2: up complaint complainant I think that's right, from near Brisbane,

401
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 2: made four thousand and seventy one complaints, which is still

402
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 2: still a lot. It's over ten a day. Oh. There

403
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 2: were a total of fifty one thousand, five hundred and

404
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 2: eighty nine complaints in total last year, more than double

405
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty two tally. Air Services Australia is responsible

406
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 2: for meaging air traffic in Australian airspace and they provide

407
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 2: submissions those living under flight?

408
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 3: Is it how do you make a complaint? Do you

409
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,719
Speaker 3: call it in or do you just email or text?

410
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 2: I think that they have a I think it's email

411
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 2: text calling. And I also think they have a regional

412
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 2: center where you can submit a Senate inquiry or inquiry

413
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 2: to the impact of aircraft in those regions. So I

414
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 2: think this person was both calling in and then also

415
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 2: mailing official complaints send it. Those living under flight paths

416
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 2: can be adversely affected by traffic passing overhead blah blah blah.

417
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 2: Besides general annoyance, research and research indicates it can impede

418
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 2: children's school performance, disrupt sleep quality, and elevate the risk

419
00:22:55,640 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 2: of cardiovascular disease. Research into one SPECI airport in the

420
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 2: United States, the BWI Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport,

421
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 2: found that loud noise from aircraft also has financial implications

422
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 2: on residents, owing to lost productivity and the need for

423
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 2: medical treatment. The study estimated that the combined medical cost

424
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 2: burden for those living near or under airport flight pass

425
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 2: would be eight hundred million dollars in thirty years.

426
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: Wow.

427
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 2: So anyways, this person, who sadly is anonymous, they should

428
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 2: be famous, made twenty seven hundred and sixteen complaints in

429
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 2: one year so that's perfect.

430
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 1: Where do you live in New York?

431
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 5: All right? Now I'm upstate. I have a house upstate

432
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 5: New York. Is this small fun and chicken and DA's

433
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 5: and a huge garden.

434
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: Oh you got.

435
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 6: Yes, that's yes. And I got here earlier today. But

436
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 6: I live in Brooklyn, in Fort Green in Brooklyn.

437
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Fort Green's great, a lot of place, but

438
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 2: the city noise even for Green. Four Green has a

439
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 2: lot of crossroads between Flatbush and there's a lot going

440
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 2: on right there.

441
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 6: Yes, so here it's like completely we have a big land.

442
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 6: It's completely isolated and super super quiet.

443
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,239
Speaker 1: Do you prefer the quiet or do you like the

444
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: city noise?

445
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 5: I kind of.

446
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 6: I'm in love with my I got here today after

447
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 6: a month. We've been with the family in Europe and

448
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 6: we just got here. We pick up a dog from

449
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 6: a friends and we just came here. The kids is teenager.

450
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 6: The stay in Brooklyn. They like the city, they don't

451
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 6: want to come here. But I in love with this house.

452
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 6: Like in eight.

453
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 5: Years, we just like build a magic place here all

454
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 5: the stuff. I yeah, that's the Drenth.

455
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 2: So when I first moved to Brooklyn, I I lived

456
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 2: in Windsor Terrace, and actually Kurt did too, down near Kensington.

457
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 2: And my building on Ocean Parkway was really unique because

458
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 2: it was next to park and it had two horse stables,

459
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 2: one directly connected to my building and then one called

460
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 2: the Kensington Stable something like that. Kensington's tables directly across,

461
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 2: So all day long when I was home, I'm a writer.

462
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 2: When I was writing, I would just hear horses clip

463
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 2: clopping on the street all the time. And then occasionally,

464
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 2: if you've ever owned a horse, you know, sometimes when

465
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,239
Speaker 2: they're in their stall or their stable, they kick the

466
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 2: walls and it's very loud and sometimes it sounds like

467
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 2: a gunshot. And when I was dating and if I

468
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 2: had somebody spend the night, sometimes horses would winny in

469
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 2: the middle of the night in Brooklyn. So we would

470
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 2: just be and you just feel somebody like grab your

471
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 2: arm and they're like, what the fuck was that, and

472
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 2: I'm like what it was like? It was just horses whinnying.

473
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 2: For I was on the fifth floor, so five stories below.

474
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 2: But one day I was walking by that stable. It's

475
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 2: called like the Little Gray Barn or the Little Horse Barn,

476
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 2: and it was this really cute thing and had a

477
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 2: big hole in the wall of the stable, and my

478
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 2: first my second roommate was like, what do you think

479
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 2: this hole is for? And I said, I don't know,

480
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 2: take a look, and he bent down and put his

481
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 2: face up the hole and a horse hoof missed his

482
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 2: face by half an inch, like the it was just

483
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 2: where the horse had kicked for years. And he put

484
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 2: his face out and I just saw horsehoff appear and disappear,

485
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 2: and he like looked at me and it was like,

486
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, I almost killed you. No, No, it

487
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 2: was what do I call him, Dane or whatever it

488
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 2: was saying shirtless.

489
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.

490
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 2: It was my shirtless crazy guitar roommate. But yeah, he

491
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 2: put his face right up to a hole and it

492
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 2: was in a stall, and a horsehof appeared and disappeared

493
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 2: so quickly, and I just remember thinking, like having to

494
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 2: tell somebody's parents who I've never met, be like, your

495
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 2: son died in Brooklyn because of me, saying put your

496
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 2: face in that hole and then a horse kicked him

497
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 2: in the face.

498
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,479
Speaker 3: Also, what's crazy, too, is that that apartment was so

499
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 3: hot the windows would be open all winter as well.

500
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: Yes, so you would hear horses just even in the

501
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: in the dead of winter.

502
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, NonStop horseback riding and horseshit in the roads everywhere.

503
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 2: And as a kid from Maryland, I loved it. It

504
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 2: was charming.

505
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: What animals do you have and not?

506
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 5: So I have two ducks and fifteen chickens.

507
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: Oh wow, can you eat that many eggs?

508
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 5: Yes?

509
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 6: So my chicken is just about its new flat now

510
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 6: because the last one slowly, you know, get eaten by foxes.

511
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 5: Wow. No, it's actually not funny.

512
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 6: The first time I had this funny the first time,

513
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 6: I know, I know now, but it's after like going

514
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 6: through a lot.

515
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 2: Of truck Yes, okay.

516
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 6: But yes, so I have now kind of the tree

517
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 6: chickens that laying eggs and the rest coming.

518
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 5: I'm ready, they ready, I'm ready to we eat a

519
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 5: lot of eggs.

520
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you have that many eggs.

521
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 3: I had a girlfriend once who had to place an

522
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 3: upstate New York and she had twenty four chickens.

523
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 1: All who laid eggs.

524
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 3: And it was it was too many eggs. It was

525
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 3: twenty four eggs a day. It's too many eggs.

526
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 5: Eat that.

527
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 2: Kirk, did you ever tell the story about the disco

528
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 2: ball and those chickens?

529
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: I don't know.

530
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 3: I think I've told it here, but this is the

531
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 3: one thing that proved to me that I don't think

532
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 3: chickens are are very smart animals. They had a disco

533
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 3: ball that was solar powered that was attached to their

534
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 3: pen and so hung from the top, and then it

535
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 3: would get charged up during the day, but then it

536
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 3: would just be like a disco for the chickens, and

537
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 3: it's pretty funny. But then it was like a windstorm

538
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 3: and it fell onto the ground and it was a

539
00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 3: disco ball probably the size of my head, with electronic

540
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 3: components in it and a solar panel, and there was

541
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 3: no thing left.

542
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: In the morning, the.

543
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 3: Chickens ate the entire disco ball and the solar panel

544
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 3: and all of the components in like twenty four hours,

545
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 3: and I was like, it's not a smart animal. It's

546
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 3: not a smart animal. It's just a shiny thing that

547
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 3: they pecked out until it no longer existed.

548
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 2: Right, So they.

549
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 6: Were waking up just imagining them in the morning, like, yeah, they're.

550
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 2: Shit and glitter. That's a fun time.

551
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 3: Let me tease us into some shout outs here scanning

552
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 3: inside the Los Angeles park that let children ride alligators.

553
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 2: Oh wow, okay, well, thumbs up. You know we get

554
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 2: you are submitted thumbs up where people shout out people

555
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 2: in their lives. First, Kurt and I have to shout

556
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 2: out Alex and all her animals, who got the most

557
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 2: amazing tattoo imaginable. She sent us art. Kurt and I

558
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 2: both hand drew to banana standing well, we drew an

559
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 2: individual banana and then we put them together. The drawings

560
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 2: were not very good, and then Alex got that tattooed

561
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 2: on her body. So we are going to share a

562
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 2: link because she is a diehard animal lover speaking of

563
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 2: you know, chickens eating disco balls, and she works in

564
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 2: animal rescue and content creation. So we're going to share

565
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 2: the link to Amphibian and reptile conservation trust in our

566
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 2: stories a couple of times. So if you have a

Speaker 2: So in on August eighth, two thousand and four, Dave

599
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 2: Matthews Band had played the concert in Chicago the night

600
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,239
Speaker 2: before and as their van, their giant tour bus was

601
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 2: driving over this bridge that is just a metal grate

602
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 2: so things can fall through. The driver decided to dump

603
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 2: all of their solid waste, so he emptied the toilets

604
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,479
Speaker 2: onto this bus as it was driving over, and at

605
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 2: the same time, a tour boat was going underneath tour

606
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,959
Speaker 2: boat and they dumped like something like four hundred pounds

607
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 2: of liquid waste onto tourists.

608
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: And it was all Dave Matthew's shit.

609
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 2: It was all of DMB, just done. And so on

610
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 2: August eighth is the twenty year official anniversary. I went

611
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,640

Speaker 2: leave on and I'm actually a big fan of that show.

629
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 2: My friend Ryan Ross went on, she's a very good

630
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 2: chef and she won once did that show? I'm curiously

631
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 2: only once. She's a huge loser. You're a massive winner,

632
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 2: and she's never been on bananas for a reason, no scraps.

633
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 2: So for a show like that, as somebody who builds

634
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 2: menus and cooks and is a chef, when they give

635
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 2: you those ingredients and you have such a small amount

636
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,359
Speaker 2: of time to cook, did you come out of that

637
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 2: with a new recipe? Or a new ingredient that you

638
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 2: never really used before and then suddenly you you were

639
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 2: able to work well, work it into your own life menu.

640
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 6: Yeah. So, first, I've been in the first season of Chop,

641
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 6: maybe the second episode. It was such an early they

642
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 6: were still figuring it out. You know.

643
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 5: They took me after the produced and said what do

644
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 5: you think?

645
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 6: So it was almost like brainstorming with the contestant.

646
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 5: So it was kind of funny and nice.

647
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 6: And then the second and third time was a bit different.

648
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 5: You can see it's like they lock it down.

649
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,760
Speaker 6: They understand what kind of ingredients they want to surprise

650
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 6: you with.

651
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 5: But I have one episode that I won with and

652
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 5: it was great, so I never did. It was instant great.

653
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 2: Wow.

654
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I remember I said, okay, I grew up

655
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 6: with Coustus and last great, let's see, I made dessert.

656
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 5: It was for dessert section, dessert course.

657
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 6: So I make some freeds like the Italian Freeders with finance.

658
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm sure you do. But I didn't know what

659
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 5: is that until later on and.

660
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 6: I lost my last episode. I lost because it was

661
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 6: ginger snap and I didn't open the backs and realize

662
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 6: it's cookie. So I thought it's ginger, like the lines

663
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 6: of something I can put.

664
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 5: In a beautiful like like yam salad, like thie salad.

665
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 6: Anyway, I just I just want to say that for

666
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 6: people that do competition, I have friends that are really

667
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 6: prepared and they're trying to figure out what ingredients and

668
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 6: what they will do if and if and if, and.

669
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 5: For me, I don't want to do any preparation. It's like,

670
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 5: it's like I never like to get questioned for article

671
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 5: or any things. I like to be very own, you know,

672
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 5: and sometimes I get fucked because sometimes it's but I

673
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 5: rather that it's keeps me more authentic, I think. And

674
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,919
Speaker 5: it's like and I'm very fast under pressure. So in

675
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:40,720
Speaker 5: this kind of situation, I can.

676
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 2: Move nice so yes to grits and know the ginger snaps.

677
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 2: If we go to balla booster, there won't be a

678
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 2: nice tie salad with ginger snaps.

679
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 5: No, it's yeah, no, no tie salad.

680
00:36:59,040 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: All right.

681
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 3: This is this is an article that I found on

682
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 3: I found it.

683
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: I found it.

684
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 2: Good for you, my guy. This guy's on the internet

685
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,760
Speaker 2: all day every day. He loves this place.

686
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 5: So An.

687
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 3: It's an Instagram account called so Cols and this is

688
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 3: on a website called all Things Interesting. All That's All

689
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,879
Speaker 3: That's Interesting inside the Los Angeles theme park that let

690
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 3: kids ride alligators. This was written by Katie Serena and

691
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 3: edited by John Kurowski. I don't never seen an editor

692
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 3: credit on a short article in the early nineteen hundred

693
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 3: It's guests at the California Alligator Farm were encouraged to

694
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 3: enter the pens and play with the alligators crazy. The

695
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 3: first photograph is of a toddler I would say two

696
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:59,720
Speaker 3: years old, standing one foot from one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen,

697
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 3: fifteen alligators who are all lined up looking like they're

698
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 3: about to strike. Long before Steve Irwin made a name

699
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 3: for himself as the Crocodile Hunter, a small reptile themed

700
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 3: industry was blooming in the sunny Lincoln Heights neighborhood of

701
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 3: Los Angeles. California Alligator Farm, which opened in nineteen oh

702
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 3: seven and operated until nineteen fifty three, was home to

703
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 3: more than one thousand gators, from babies to full grown adults.

704
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 3: There were twenty ponds at the park in which the

705
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 3: gators lived and performed daily shows for the crowds However,

706
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 3: this was no ordinary zoo.

707
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: The main attraction of the.

708
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 3: Part was the ability to interact with the gators, some

709
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 3: who reached fifteen feet in length. Though there were some

710
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 3: signs warning visitors to not spit or punch the alligators.

711
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't do that, they were.

712
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 3: Allowed and even encouraged to enter the pens and play

713
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 3: with the alligators.

714
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: They could even bring their pets to the park.

715
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 3: Given what we know of alligators now, the thought of

716
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 3: people handling them is terrifying. For an admission fee of

717
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:10,800
Speaker 3: twenty five cents, kids could sit in piles of baby alligators,

718
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 3: letting them crawl across their lives. They could also enjoy

719
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 3: alligator rides, where children could sit in a specially made

720
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 3: saddle and ride the gators around in the ponds.

721
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: Adults would often.

722
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 3: Be seen petting, laying on the ground, or even swimming

723
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,720
Speaker 3: with fully grown alligators, seemingly oblivious to their imminent danger.

724
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 3: The photograph of this kid, it has a harness and everything.

725
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 3: I was trying to show it to you.

726
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 2: Oh, look at that. I mean that alligator is two

727
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 2: and a half times longer than the boy sitting on it.

728
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, the boy looks like he's wearing some leader hose.

729
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,399
Speaker 2: And normal for California this time of year.

730
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: There was also a California Alligator Farm gift shop where

731
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: park goers could purchase an alligator to take home.

732
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 2: Well, now we're cooking, I was gonna say, if that

733
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 2: merch is still available, I would be wearing Los Angeles

734
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 2: Alligator Farm merch head to tow every day when I

735
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 2: left the house.

736
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 3: Okay, so here is the deal, Scottie, if you are interested.

737
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 3: They had over a thousand alligators here a lot people

738
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,280
Speaker 3: eventually stopped coming. It moved to gen of East California,

739
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 3: and then it moved to Florida smarter day to day.

740
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 3: The Saint Augustine Alligator Farm and Zoological Park is still

741
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 3: up and running, though with not nearly as much reckless

742
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 3: alligator handling. It currently holds the world's largest collection of

743
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 3: alligators and crocodiles. They also have at least one of

744
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 3: every species of crocodilion in the world, all of whom

745
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 3: thankfully remain and closed in their pens full time. The

746
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 3: fact that you could just take baby alligators home with you.

747
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: This is how, this is how alligators ended up in

748
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 1: the sewer.

749
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, city, this kind of reckless just give it alligators away, yeah.

750
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 2: Or the there's canals out here in Venice Beach that

751
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 2: I'm sure got many many unwanted one and a half

752
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:22,280
Speaker 2: to two foot alligators. That's pretty insane that it lasted

753
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 2: as long as it did. I guess people just didn't

754
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 2: sue as much back then or something.

755
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,479
Speaker 3: Actually, it seems like no one was ever hurt, which

756
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 3: is insane. Andy not here as the child riding the alligator.

757
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 4: I don't know.

758
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 1: You can see it.

759
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I little.

760
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 2: It is.

761
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 3: I mean nineteen oh seven and nineteen fifty three, that's

762
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 3: a good long run with no.

763
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,320
Speaker 5: One died, so no waiver at the beginning.

764
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:56,760
Speaker 1: Oh no, this is just yeah, this is just earlier America.

765
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 1: Do whatever you want.

766
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 2: I wish there were more animals that were easily identifiable

767
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 2: as love to being ridden. I wish there were animals

768
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,760
Speaker 2: that were, like, we prefer being ridden to not being ridden.

769
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 2: Like I don't know if horses like it at all

770
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 2: or camels like it at all. I don't know. It

771
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,720
Speaker 2: seems like they're okay with it, but like that seems

772
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 2: so cruel. But what if we found out in the

773
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 2: future that gators absolutely love being ridden.

774
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 3: If there was an animal that when you climbed on

775
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 3: its back, it went.

776
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: Oh like like someone had just itched it. Do you

777
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: know what I mean?

778
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 3: Like it was pitching a place that it could never

779
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:33,240
Speaker 3: get itself.

780
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. It would be wonderful.

781
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 3: You'd be like, oh my god, this animal loves being ridden,

782
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 3: Like we don't know, maybe hippos.

783
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 1: That's hippos thing.

784
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:42,799

Speaker 2: like it's everybody now sees photos of food or dishes.

845
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,680
