1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:06,519
Speaker 1: Let's get this started right with this headline news. Scientific

2
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: paper claims octopuses are actually aliens from outer space.

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 2: That is the kind of news I want to hear about.

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 2: Sit back, relax. Whatever was bothering you today, this morning,

5
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 2: this afternoon, put it behind you for an hour. Slide

6
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 2: into a little bliss pit known as bananas.

7
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 3: Stumbled up sad? Would you be my tzillion pieces?

8
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 2: Would you.

9
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 3: Bana Bana?

Speaker 2: I'm Kurt Brown Oler, I am a boy number two

12
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: Scotty Landis. Thank you for listening to the silliest little

13
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: podcast that ever was. I am back in Los Angeles.

14
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,199
Speaker 2: I'm no longer in French Polynesia. It was a wonderful time.

15
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: I'm happy to have you back. Yeah, it feels good.

16
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 2: We're in the same time zone, we're three miles apart

17
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 2: from each other.

18
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: You know, we gotta we gotta start recording in person.

19
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: I think that's our next step. We gotta come on back.

20
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: Let's start recording in person. I'll come sit on your deck.

21
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: You come sit in my weird garage club. Yeah, filled

22
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: with clutter.

23
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, my friend Melissa just got a used sailboat. She's partner.

24
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: I love. Think we should ask her to drive to Marina.

25
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 2: I think we should record an episode on a sailboat.

26
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 2: I don't know, why are you kidding me?

27
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: Of course we should, because we're originally I don't know

28
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: if we think. We mentioned it once many years ago.

29
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: But when Scotty and I first came up with the

30
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: idea for the show, we recorded some test episodes that

31
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: we've never released. It never went anywhere, and we would

32
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: only record them in weird places. And the first one

33
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: we recorded was in Shaky's Pizza, so like in the

34
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: background you just hear like but like a video game,

35
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,399
Speaker 1: the kids screaming. Another one was recorded at the Gelson's

36
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:16,119
Speaker 1: Wine Bar.

37
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: Gelson's is a grocery store in Los Angeles that had

38
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: this great idea to put beer and wine a bar

39
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 2: in the grocery store and then you can just drink there.

40
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: People watch Lakers games, people watch the Academy Awards and

41
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: the Golden Globes. There very la but Kurt and I

42
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: sat at the end and recorded, and they were so

43
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: confused because not only is it weird to have a

44
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: bar in a grocery store, it's weird record a podcast live.

45
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: But we discovered that we were holding back our enthusiasm

46
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: because we're too polite. Yeah, and we didn't want any

47
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: to ruin anybody else's time, but we did. We recorded

48
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: two pilot to get that, and I'm glad we did it.

49
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: By the way, Oh me too. We got kind of

50
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 2: into the vibe.

51
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: I also love that Gelson's wine bar inspired one of

52
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: my favorite Onion headlines ever, which is uh bar in

53
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: supermarket as actually pretty great happy hour deals, says man

54
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,399
Speaker 1: with real problem.

55
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. I went to a couple of birthday parties there

56
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 2: early on. It was like, yeah, Brandon Walsh, that's so

57
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: Funnybody else had one and it was just like a

58
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: funny thing. All of our minds were blown that you

59
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 2: could just go get drunk and you're not allowed to tip.

60
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: That's some weird, awful part. You can't that's so weird.

61
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 2: Paid an hourly or something and part of the deal

62
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: is you cannot tip. So like I've tried to like

63
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: be like I know and then slip them a farm

64
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: or something, and they're like, I will get fired. Whoa

65
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 2: so much? Get out of here. Oh that's so crazy too.

66
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: So I've been uh I just I've been trying to

67
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: I've been trying to like exercise more, you know, looking good,

68
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: and I'll hush your mouth and sober right, I'm done

69
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: with it. I'm done with it. No, it was not

70
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: one hundred days I did. I did thirty one days.

71
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: I decided to just do dry January. It was it

72
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: was all the flavors, and I don't know, I just

73
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: kind of came out on the other end with thinking,

74
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: you know, alcohol is a net benefit for me. It is,

75
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: you know, I like I stopped. I totally like was like,

76
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: all right, now I'm resetting my relationship with alcohol. I

77
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: don't want to drink every night, so now I'm like

78
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: resetting it. That was a good reset because definitely during

79
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: the choir, I just got into like, I'm just drinking

80
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: every day, you.

81
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 2: Know, walrus mode. Yeah, sitting there drinking exactly.

82
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: And so I wanted to make it special again. I

83
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: wanted to make it a treat again, you know. So

84
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: I had to take some time off and now it's

85
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: just about you know, so anyway I've been when you're

86
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: not drinking, there's nothing to do but exercise, and uh,

87
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: and so I've been exercising, but one of the things

88
00:04:54,760 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: years ago, I bought this rebounder, which is a fancy

89
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: name for a trampoline.

90
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 2: It's just a little a little mini train trampoline, Okay,

91
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 2: and uh so we're so it looks real small.

92
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: And so I start I start off my little like

93
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: workout routine of like strength training with like ten minutes

94
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,119
Speaker 1: of jumping on this trampline. But it's not just jumping

95
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: on the trampoline, like you're doing things, you know, You're

96
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: like doing all these different movements. And I always just

97
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: go on YouTube and I just put in like Rebounder

98
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: ten minutes, and I like look up and find different ones.

99
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: And I realized today is the first day I realized

100
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: this guy puts out these Rebounder videos. And I just

101
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: realized today it's his It's his name is doctor Mocoor.

102
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 2: Great start.

103
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: His name is doctor mo Core. He's like a twenty

104
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: five year old guy. I don't think he's a real doctor.

105
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: And he never speaks, and he just bounces on a

106
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: trampoline in front of a green square.

107
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 4: Of like changing backgrounds of like a desert landscape and

108
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 4: then like an ocean view and he's it just and

109
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,559
Speaker 4: that's the reason I like it is that he's there's

110
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 4: no talk, it's just jumping.

111
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 2: He's not talking.

112
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: Because every other trampoline video I've found on YouTube, and

113
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: I've gone down a weird rabbit hole at this is

114
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: like if you watch enough of them. They it's people

115
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: who think that jumping on a trampoline will solve every

116
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: problem you have, Like it'll cure cancer, It'll like it'll like,

117
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: it's good for your balance, it's good for your brain.

118
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: It's lymphatic system every literally, and I just I'm like,

119
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to listen to you talk anymore. Give

120
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: me doctor mocor just jumping in different spaces.

121
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, but people love that sort of guru stuff where

122
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 2: it's like the secret to life is celery. Yeah, you

123
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 2: have to juice it though it's one you don't drink

124
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: it at room temperature and you're like relax, Like it's

125
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 2: kind of a combination of all things. I'm sure jumping

126
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 2: on trampoline's great. One thing it won't cure is the

127
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 2: people that live downstairs below you. Your guts will not

128
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 2: cure that relationship. But that reminds me when the Great

Speaker 2: January twenty sixth, twenty twenty two. Octopuses are from space.

153
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: I know that sounds like the opening line of a

154
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,080

Speaker 1: of the argument behind a research paper published in an

156
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: actual peer reviewed journal. The paper was published in the

157
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: journal Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology titled of course,

158
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: so you kidd me? Titled Cause the Cambrian Explosion Terrestrial

159
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: or Cosmic, the paper digs deep into the origin of

160
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: life on Earth as a result of posits that life

161
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: began thanks to a reign of retroviruses which literally fell

162
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: from space. These retroviruses then added new DNA sequences to

163
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: terrestrial genomes, which the paper says further drove mutagenic change.

164
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 2: Okay, what does that.

165
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: Mean, Joshua, It says where things start to get GHO.

166
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: Really interesting, though, is when the paper starts to discuss

167
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: the arrival of cephalopods. The paper itself claims that certain

168
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: cephalopods like octopuses, squid and others, arrived on the planet

169
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: by falling from space frozen in a kind of stasis.

170
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: And this is a quote from the paper. Thus, the

171
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: possibility that cryo preserved squid end or octopus eggs arrived

172
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: in icy bowlides seven hundred million, several hundred million years

173
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 1: ago should not be discounted.

174
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 2: The paper reads.

175
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: The authors of the paper say that octopus and other

176
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: creatures benefit from biological features that appear to have been

177
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: derived from some type of preexistence. Yeah, this is it's insane.

178
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: It is And I like was like, is this is

179
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: this real? And then I baloney, and so I started

180
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: looking it up and the first article I found was

181
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: from Live science dot com that says, no, octopuses don't

182
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: come from outer space.

183
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 2: I believe that to be true.

184
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: But they don't really have a vor like it's essentially

185
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: like it's like a guess, it's essentially these these doctors,

186
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: and I'm sure doctor Mocor is one of the doctors

187
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: on this paper.

188
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, bouncing around, bouncing around.

189
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: Hey, let's do one on octopi from space guys. And also,

190
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: this is a paper of thirty three authors publishing in

191
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: a peer reviewed paper. I mean, like, it's kind of crazy,

192
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: so I would say, so this is the only reason

193
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: they say it's not true in live on Live science

194
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: dot com is basically they're saying that this retrovirus would

195
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: have to be this retrouss. It's that fell from space.

196
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 1: There are already squids on the Earth, And they're the

197
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: paper saying that this retrovirus came in possibly and altered

198
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: the squid DNA to then make it into an octopus.

199
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: And they're saying, well, well, does that sound realistic in

200
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: the fact that the retrovirus has to be specifically made

201
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: to interact specifically with a specific type of DNA. Okay,

202
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: And so it doesn't seem very likely that it just

203
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: so happens that squid retroviruses are dropping down onto Earth.

204
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 1: But also, as that quote that I read earlier, they

205
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: they're saying that fucking squid and octopus eggs arrived in

206
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: icy bowl Eides.

207
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 2: So I don't know the proof of the pudding.

208
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, I'm going for the fact that I'm

209
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: in I'm in support of octopi being from space, and

210
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to keep calling them octopi.

211
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, because yeah, now we're allowed to call them octopuses.

212
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: After all, the goody two shoe kids that had perfect

213
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 2: attendance our whole life were like, actually, it's octopiing, it's cacti,

214
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 2: it's oxen. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I went to the Baltimore

215
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 2: Zoo in my early twenties. It's a very good zoo,

216
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 2: great zoo, and I was going with a friend at

217
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 2: the time. I guess I was just home for whatever reason.

218
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 2: It was like, let's go to that zoo. And it

219
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 2: was fun. You know, you're looking at zoo animals, You're

220
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 2: having a good time. But I noticed this family near

221
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 2: the otters uh and they were like the kids were

222
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 2: just everywhere. It was one of those things where like

223
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 2: maybe even his grandma was watching her grandkids, but like

224
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 2: these kids were having the greatest day of their life.

225
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 2: And I was kind of clocking them the whole time.

226
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 2: How old are you at the time. I'm twenty two, okay, probably,

227
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 2: but just a funny group of kids. And the youngest

228
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 2: one was just like probably five or six year old,

229
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 2: and he climbs up this like rubber tree stump that's

230
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 2: like a it's there to be climbed on, and I'm like,

231
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 2: this kid's funny. And then his whole family keeps walking

232
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 2: and he's looking out over the whole zoo like having

233
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 2: a moment, like like he's up on the top of

234
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 2: the ship mask looking out and then he looks behind

235
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 2: him and his family had left, and then he sees

236
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 2: my friend and I walking up, and he you could

237
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 2: feel he had this impulse to yell something, and so

238
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 2: he just yells, get money. So yells get money, which

239
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 2: I just start cracking up laughing right away. So then

240
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: I said to my friend. I was like, we're following

241
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 2: this family day. She was like, deal. So the little

242
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 2: git money kid where there's a giant tree with snakes

243
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 2: in like aquarium. So you kind of go in this

244
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,839
Speaker 2: old fake tree and you look around and there's this

245
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 2: weird kind of snake and this weird kind of toad.

246
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 2: And we go around and this one snake is eating

247
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 2: a mouse. They just fed it, so it's got half

248
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 2: a mouse. And help you, this little kid go ew

249
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 2: you nasty. And so I was like, I'm telling you,

250
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 2: you got to follow this kid. So we'll follow this

251
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 2: other day. And then we kind of lose them. We

252
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 2: got to go do our own thing. But then we

253
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 2: go to like the barnyard farm area, and we came

254
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 2: up and there was some animal that had big feet

255
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: and this kid just looks at it, turns around like

256
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 2: crosses his arms. He's like, why are your feet so big?

257
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 2: And like doggaway. I was like, this kid's gonna be

258
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 2: the number one comedian in fifteen years. It was the

259
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 2: funniest best day at the zoo. I've ever had just

260
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 2: a comment machine kid that would run away after I

261
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 2: should have been a stand up that just set a punchline,

262
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: just ran off stage every time. I love it.

263
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: I mean like that's a I mean like it hits

264
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: everything I like, which is roasting animals, yes, and children

265
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: doing it.

266
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 2: It was the best.

267
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: And I'm so happy you told a story about the

268
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: Baltimore Zoo because this story weirdly reminded me of Baltimore

269
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: Science Museum in the Inner Harbor, the Science Center. They

270
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: had an Imax there, and this was before Imax were

271
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: this in the you know, mid nineties for Imax were everywhere.

272
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 2: They were only a science yeah, before.

273
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: They sold out, their their their ideals and then wheneverywhere,

274
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: so they only showed science movies. And I have looked

275
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: and I think maybe I've talked about this before.

276
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 2: I don't care.

277
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: I have looked for this movie online to see if

278
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: it exists or if I can see it, and I

279
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: have never been able to find it. It was someone

280
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: I'm positive I didn't. So if anyone ever went to

281
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: the Inner Harbor Science Center in the mid nineties and

282
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: saw this Imax movie that was all about beavers, and

283
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: I think it's the reason that I was obsessed with beavers.

284
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 2: It was called Beavers. Yeah, I've seen it. He saw it, Oh,

285
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 2: for sure many times. That Beavers was a hit.

286
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: Beavers was crazy because it was for those of you

287
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: have not seen it, this Science Center was you know,

288
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: it's like it's like four or five stories tall, that's

289
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: how big. The image is cool, and they got a

290
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: cant They got a fucking Imax hammer inside the den

291
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: of a family of beavers. And then you like watched

292
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: it over the years, you like watched beavers transform like

293
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: a tiny valley into this huge lake over like ten

294
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: years or something.

295
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 2: It's like the.

296
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: Most amazing movie you've ever seen. And they have and

297
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: I was. I was eighteen, nineteen years old. I just

298
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: started going to college in Baltimore. We got really stoned

299
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: and we went to watch the Imax movie and watch

300
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: this beaver's shit thing. I was so obsessed. There is

301
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: a scene and I swear to God, this is there

302
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: where the beaver's bone and it's like boning beavers three

303
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: and a half stories tall, just for like a a

304
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: like a thirty seconds to a minute, just humping beavers

305
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: a lot with a You're watching with a bunch of families. Yes,

306
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: And it was just me very stoned watching these beavers

307
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: fuck while all these children are all around me, and I'm.

308
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 2: Like, what are we doing? What's happening right now?

309
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I've I would love to I would I

310
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:06,800

325
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 2: they do this? Yes, I want to know cameras. How

326
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 2: so the cameras are huge. And here's the big secret,

327
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 2: bigger film. So normal films, what sixteen millimeters? Yeah, small films,

328

329
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 2: just bigger film. So it's higher def and I'm sure

330
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 2: the camera lets him more light or whatever. But I

331
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 2: was like, there must be magic involved in this. This

332
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,200

368
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 2: written by a very adorable right her name, And I

369
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 2: only say that because her picture she looks like the

371

372
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 2: it was everywhere. I actually just picked this one because

373
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 2: I thought Nicole looked like a very jolly person. Mecklenburg County,

374
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,240

375
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 2: don't know about you, but when I open up a

376
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 2: fortune cookie, I throw the tiny piece of paperway after

377
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 2: reading it. Okay, Oh relax, Nicole, you do not. You

00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 2: have a little jar that you keep on your night

379
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 2: stand and keep all your wishes and fortunes and dreams.

380
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 2: Thankfully for one North Carolina man, he chose to use

381
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 2: his fortune cookie to win his own fortune. See she's good. Yeah.

382
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 2: Gabriel Fieriro, a retired Master sergeant who spent thirty two

383
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 2: years in the army, bought a three dollars Mega Millions

384
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 2: lottery ticket and turned it into four million dollars. According

385
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 2: to the North Carolina Lottery, usually they do the lottery

386
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 2: every week. Fierro and his wife dined at a Chinese

387
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 2: restaurant called the Red Bull The Red Bull in Charlotte.

388
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 2: Love it. Interesting name. Why do you think he would

389
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 2: name it? Why would what's red bull? I don't understand

390
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 2: red bowl? Bo yeah like a yeah, like a cereal bowl.

391
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 2: It's Chinese restaurant. I don't know red red as red

392
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 2: as China. Oh yeah, yeah, I should have saw that

393
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 2: they had a Chinese restaurant called the Red Bull. Maybe

394
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 2: it's that combination of red end ball where he nabbed

395
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 2: a prize winning fortune cookie quote. I don't usually play

396
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 2: my fortune cookie numbers, but I tried one on a whim.

397
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 2: Fiero told them.

398
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: Wait a second, what he doesn't normally play the lottery, Well,

399
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: he plays the lot he doesn't.

400
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 2: He doesn't play fortune cookie numbers. So he used the

401
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 2: lucky numbers included with the fortune bought his ticket online.

402
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 2: The veteran was able to match all five white balls

403
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 2: to win one million, but then the prize quadrup to

404
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 2: four millions since he bought the megapler. You gotta buy

405
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 2: the megaplyer edition, Kirk, you gotta buy the megaply if

406
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 2: it's a made up word. You gotta have it. You

407
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 2: gotta have a megaplyer. I got an email in the

408
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 2: morning and I just stared at it. I was dumbfounded,

409
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 2: said Fierro, Which is so real. I took it and

410
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 2: showed it to my wife, and she thought it was

411
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,959
Speaker 2: an April fool's joke or maybe some sort of scam,

412
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 2: which is so I would think it was a scam instantly. Yeah,

413
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 2: of course, you're a smart lady. Once the reality of

414
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 2: their situation hit, Fierro said, he and his wife started

415
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 2: running around the house excitedly, which is great. I would

416
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 2: be running around too. He collected his prize on Thursday,

417
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 2: and after the taxes were taken by uncle Scam, he

418
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 2: took home two million, eight hundred four the thousand after

419
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 2: federal and static wedstay tax withholdings. I mean, congratulations to

420
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 2: a wonderful vet Gabriel. Just enjoy it. Two boat. What

421
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 2: do you do? Yeah, what do you do with two

422
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 2: point eight million dollars? Oh? Man, Well, that's good. I

423
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 2: would definitely pay all of my families, mortgages and colleges

424
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 2: and all that stuff off first. I would wipe I

425
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 2: would even the playing field for the people I love most. Yep,

426
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 2: I would donate a pretty penny into a few causes,

427
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 2: and then I would probably uh, I probably try to

428
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 2: buy a really cool house where nobody could ever find

429
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 2: me and invite all my friends to live there for

430
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 2: until I ran out of money. So two years. Oh man,

431
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 2: I want to do it. I don't know a house. Yeah,

432
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 2: I would probably buy a house.

433
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: I would probably buy a house in like a place

434
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: that I've always wanted to live, like Hawaii or something

435
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: like that.

436
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 2: Pretty cool and yeah, and I would do all this

437
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 2: stuff you said too. I would take care of everybore

438
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 2: for everybody in your life, everybody that you love. You

439
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 2: got to just put everybody in the black. Once everybody's

440
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 2: in the black, you just feel the weight of dread

441
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 2: rapped off all your friend group. And then it's a party.

442
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 2: Then you tap a couple of cakes. You might actually

443
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 2: drink a beer. I'm so happy about this. Yeah, I

444
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 2: don't think I told this. Okay, I'm ready. I'm ready.

445
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 2: When I when I was a young pup, when I

446
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 2: was a young banana, I used to be great at

447
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 2: dunking booths, like throwing balls, like I would say in

448
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 2: my life from when I'm about three years old until

449
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 2: the last time I did it, probably in my tween years,

450
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 2: probably thirteen is I probably I'm probably eight for eight

451
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 2: a dunking booths. You did a dunking booth when you

452
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 2: were three. I think that they made fun of me.

453
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 2: He was just like a clown. And my dad lifted

454
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 2: me over the wall because I could see over the wall,

455
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 2: and I hit him on the first pitch and knocked

456
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 2: him into the water. I'm almost I mean, I can

457
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 2: remember every time just having a little bit of an

458
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 2: attitude and be like, oh yeah, and so I would

459
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 2: just you know, I'm knocking them down left and right.

460
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 2: At some point, if there's ever a big podcast festival invited,

461
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 2: we gotta do a dunking booth. Oh my god, salt

462
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 2: people and have them throw bananas at us.

463
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 1: Oh we should do that for Austin. Maybe just set

464
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: it up on the sidewalk.

465
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 2: That would be fun. So there was this moment I was.

466
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 2: It was one of those weird times in your life

467
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 2: where you realize you're no longer a little kid, you know,

468
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 2: like like Christmas doesn't mean the same thing, or you're

469
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 2: like too big to go uncertain thing. You just your

470
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 2: parents can't carry you in when you're asleep in your

471
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 2: car anymore. Yeah, you're not a kid anymore. So we

472
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:35,959
Speaker 2: were on Nantucket. I have an aunt, uncle and some

473
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 2: cousins that live out there, and they had a carnival

474
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 2: and so I go and I knock a guy down

475
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 2: in the dunking booth almost right off the bat just

476
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 2: to it's just just a warm out of the night

477
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 2: open yeah. Yeah. But then like everybody, we all went.

478
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 2: I was the youngest kid at that point, so they

479
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 2: all went for me. But then I was kind of

480
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 2: too old for a carnival. Like carns for a kid.

481
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 2: You get your face painted, you'd make sand sculpture, you know.

482
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're and then you become and then it's you're

483
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: back into it, like when you're like fifteen, because you're

484
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: just like smoking cigarettes behind like the tilta.

485
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 2: Well with you and you're famed to a carnival. Yeah,

486
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 2: like as adults, it's so fun. So my parents like it,

487
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 2: bought I don't know, twenty tickets for rides or whatever,

488
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 2: and then I was like, all these rides are for kids.

489
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 2: It's a little caterpillar circles whatever. So there was a

490
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,719
Speaker 2: tilted whirl. Yeah, classic tilted World, classic one. It is.

491
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,719
Speaker 2: It divides the kids who puke from the kids who

492
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 2: don't puke real fast. So I was by myself and

493
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 2: my parents didn't want to get on. My aunt uncle

494
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 2: didn't want to get on. My cousins were way too small.

495
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 2: So I get on the tilted World and they because

496
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 2: it's me by myself, they put me on with two

497
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 2: other people.

498
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 1: And so so for people who are not American who

499
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: are listening to this tilt to World, I'm assuming it's

500
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: called something different in the UK. But it spins right

501
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: centrifugal force holds you to the wall and then it

502
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: goes up in the air so that you're going like that.

503
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 2: No, not that, alue. These are the ones that it's

504
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 2: sort of like an uneven surface and then you sit

505
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 2: in these kind of like clamshell looking things and then

506
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 2: the thing you sit in rotates and then the whole

507
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 2: thing rotates, so as you go around here with all

508
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 2: that and rotating, so it kind of whips you around

509
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 2: and it's really fun. And there used to be one

510
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 2: at Redondo Piers.

511
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: And could you spin it with like the center control

512
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: to like spin it with the thing?

513
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 2: Have that right, sometimes they do that. This one was

514
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 2: just hold on to your butts. Here we go.

515
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: Okay, And you were like, and what were you seated?

516
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: Were you seated in a seat that like is just

517
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 1: for you or was it just like a plastic bench

518
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: next to people?

519
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 2: Great question. Yeah, So I'm eleven. I think I'm eleven,

520
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 2: maybe twelve, and I go walk on and they were like,

521
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 2: solo rider. I'm like yes, and then I come here

522
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 2: they put me on. On the far side of this

523
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 2: curved bench is a Jamaican man, probably in his forties. Okay.

524
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 2: They have summer workers that come up from the Caribbean

525
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 2: to and they work all the different stores and stuff

526
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 2: in Nantucket. So as a dreadlocked man in his forties.

527
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 2: Then in between that guy and me is a pudgy

528
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 2: little like seven or eight year old looks so New

529
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 2: England like, looks like a little Kennedy. He's just like

530
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 2: a rosy cheeked, plump little boy who is scared to death.

531
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 2: And then me, So then I sit down and they

532
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 2: dropped a little safety bar and I'm on one side,

533
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 2: the Jamaican man's on the other side, and this little

534
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 2: nervous kid and then it starts going. The music plays

535
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 2: and we're just going around and speeds up and we're

536
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 2: like spinning faster and the little kid is like, I

537
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 2: want to get off. He won instantly, but they can't

538
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 2: hear you, and people are cheering and the other thing's

539
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 2: going on. The guy that dunking booths still cursing me

540
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 2: out that damn kid, and the Jamaican man like, I

541
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 2: don't know what to say. I'm a child. So the

542
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 2: Jamaican man just starts singing. He starts singing if I'm lying,

543
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 2: I'm dying. Get to make the kid feel better? Yes, oh,

544
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 2: he sings. And this is not me making up a

545
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 2: single word of this. He goes the tilt to world,

546
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 2: don't go dut fast, don't worry man, over and over

547
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 2: and over for the full three minute ride. What tilt

548
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 2: the world, don't go dot fast, don't worry man, And

549
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 2: I think you So I'm watching him. This kid is

550
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 2: just turning green and it's soon the second. So the

551
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 2: way it works too is it slows down, but then

552
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 2: you keep spinning like it's you have a break, so

553
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 2: they have to wait for you to standing and then

554
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 2: they unlock you the second that's security bar drops up

555
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 2: that Jamaican guy and I were on our feet walking away.

556
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 2: That kid's parents come running past us because they were like,

557
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 2: this is bad. So I like go down two stairs

558
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 2: and I look and this poor little kid, this little

559
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 2: Ted Kennedy, takes like three steps and just bars crying.

560
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 2: And I look at the Jamaica guy, and my parents

561
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 2: are like, oh, that's too bad. Jamaica just shrugs and

562
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 2: just walks off the night. He's like, I did all

563
00:29:53,880 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 2: I could do. This probably the most, uh, the the

564
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 2: most cultural thing that's ever happened on Nantucket. Actually, oh man,

565
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 2: I love that. I love that man so much. He

566
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 2: was so sweet and he was just like I don't

567
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 2: know how, but he just was just singing over and

568
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 2: over and over.

569
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,239
Speaker 1: I mean, what else are you gonna do? So what

570
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: else are you gonna do? There is no there is

571
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: nothing to do for the seven year old on the

572
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: Tilt to World.

573
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 2: You also thought I was going to get it.

574
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: What a crazy thing that I thought the tilta World

575
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: was what is the name of the thing that spins

576
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: and then goes.

577
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 2: Up in the air. That's like the show's in different

578
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 2: places that they have different thing different names. Right, Sometimes

579
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 2: it's like it looks like a spaceship. Fun though that

580
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 2: thing is fun. I we had one on Workaholics once

581
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 2: where the guys got in and we had a woman

582
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 2: playing an exotic dancer, and then the three guys and

583
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 2: they shot inside of a real one. A gravitron is

584
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 2: what it's gonna right where the floor drops off. That's

585
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 2: where the floor drops out. Yeah, all of them threw up,

586
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 2: including the camera crew and the director Adam Nuwachek Barf too,

587
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 2: except the woman who played the exotic dancer, who as

588
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 2: an actual dancer. So she got off and was just like,

589
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 2: you guys are weak. It's just like but like Adam's

590
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 2: falling over, Blake pukes instantly, Onders is feeling sick, and yeah,

591
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 2: the whole production crew throws up, and then this one

592
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 2: woman walks up like, you guys are soft man.

593
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: I can't wait to get I spent so much time

594
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: at theme parks as a kid by myself, you know,

595
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: because I was just like, you know, only child. I

596
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: just would just go on rides by myself, and I

597
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: have a deep I think I have a deep love

598
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: for like theme park rides, and I have not been

Speaker 1: panel away, astonished to find a dark, empty room behind

706
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: the mantel. This led Goodall to notice another panel on

707
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: the floor, which he then lifts to discover a secret

708
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,400

718
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: and a wasp's nest. Goodall eventually realize he's in a

719
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: rabbit hole when the room leads to another passageway and

720
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: directs him to a basement, two other secret rooms, another

Speaker 1: eight with information about the property.

726
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 2: This is pretty cool, though, I mean, that's pretty cool.

727
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 1: This is pretty and it's like it's like rooms upon

728
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: rooms upon rooms. And here's the best part. In the

729
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 1: nineteen hundreds, of home was said to have been used

730
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:01,720
Speaker 1: as an educational institution and good all located old school

731
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: books and desks used at the time. I mean, I

732
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: think about that. That's the there's always any children items

733
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: in a very.

734
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 2: Abandoned area is super scary and creepy. Not cool. See

735
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 2: there's a quote from him. I believe there were several

736
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 2: passages that ran under the house. Blah blah. Yeah, sounds

737
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 2: like it.

738
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: Anyway, there's the video is there. It's that's all. He

739
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: just found a whole bunch of different rooms. There's the

740
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: end of this.

741
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,399
Speaker 2: That's cool. I like that kind of exploring. I love that.

742
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,720
Speaker 2: Where I grew up, there was an it's a National

743
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 2: Guard base now. I think it's called Camp frettterd now,

744
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 2: but before that it was a defunct and closed school

745
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 2: for bad girls Montrose, uh huh. And we could we

746
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 2: had a bunch of fishing ponds and stuff back there,

747
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 2: so as a kid. We'd walk in the woods, we'd

748
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 2: go fishing, we'd ride bikes, and we I explored every

749
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 2: single inch of this campus. I mean everything that you could.

750
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 2: They had old science labs with old Florence flasks, an

751
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 2: ear way hydrochloric acid, like it was all neutralized. This

752
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 2: has been like thirty years later. But then you would

753
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 2: go into the old dormitories and the old classrooms and

754
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 2: I remember there was this one room where they had

755
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 2: hooks on the wall where they used to hang switches

756
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 2: or whatever I guess to hit the girls. And then

757
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 2: in one of the bedrooms it said, fuck you missus white.

758
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 2: I love that. That's amazing. But we used to snoop

759
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 2: around and then we would this is totally insane to say,

760
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 2: but we would take the old fluorescent bulbs. Yeah they

761
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 2: were dead, and there was an old well and we

762
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:34,879
Speaker 2: used to just throw them as hard as we could

763
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 2: so they would explode. You know, good old fashioned red neck.

764
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 2: That pop is so satisfying. God, it's satisfying. But we

765
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 2: we would play tag in the woods too. At night.

766
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 2: We'd play flashlight tag and one time somebody found a

767
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 2: book bag from a girl that made a run for it.

768
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 2: And they must have called her but it had like notebooks.

769
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 2: Oh wow, Yeah, it was really cool and I think

770
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:57,240
Speaker 2: it was probably from the sixties. I don't remember that detail,

771
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 2: but yeah, we lived near basically no wonder I write

772
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 2: horror movies. Now, I lived walking distance to a waking

773
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 2: horror movie my entire childhood.

774
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,760
Speaker 1: Well, this that reminds me, and this whole story reminds

775
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: me of I used to have a podcast and it

776
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: was called The k the K Hole, and then it

777
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: was a multi format podcast, and so one of the

778
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,760
Speaker 1: formats was called Get Lost, and you can go listen

779
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: to this right now if you wanted to. But get

780
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,399
Speaker 1: Lost where is where I would take comedians. I would

781
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: blindfold them and put them in my car and then

782
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 1: drive them somewhere they've never been and then they had

783
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 1: to like figure out where they were and how they.

784
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,399
Speaker 2: Would get home. Okay, I remember.

785
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: This, and uh, And there is a there is one

786
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 1: podcast that I did originally with Rory Scovell, who's very

787
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: funny comedian, where I blindfolded him and I took him

788
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 1: to this place called La eighty eight, which is what's

789
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 1: called a a Nike nuclear missile silo just outside of

790
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. So there used to be all of these.

791
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: During the Cold War, they had all of these what

792
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 1: are called Nike missiles that were like set up that

793
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: were like nuclear missiles that were supposed to be like

794
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 1: very very fast, the fastest ones they had so that

795
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: they could defend like Los Angeles from a nuclear war

796
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: or whatever. Yeah, and so it's just and it's like

797
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 1: you can go to it. I don't know, this was

798
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: this was many years ago. This was probably eight eight

799
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:28,800
Speaker 1: years ago.

800
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 2: Nine years and it's close. It's pretty amazing.

801
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,879
Speaker 1: So then Scottie and I made a pilot for Get

802
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 1: Lost that never went anywhere, sadly where it's it's such

803
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: a great idea. We did it with Grace Helbig and

804
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:48,720
Speaker 1: I blindfolded her and drove her to the nuclear missile silo,

805
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 1: the abandoned one in Santa Clarita, and then we actually

806
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: climbed down. She and I climbed down inside this abandoned

807
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: nuclear missile silo.

808
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 2: And it was like crazy amazing.

809
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: There was like one room where there was three cots

810
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 1: and it was like three bunk beds because it was

811
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: they were all on eight hour shifts and it was

812
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: manned twenty four hours a day because they had to

813
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 1: be ready to like launch nuclear missiles at rush at

814
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: any moment. So it's like two guys would sleep and

815
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,479
Speaker 1: then one guy would work and then another guy the

816
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: other one would sleep.

817
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 2: I mean so crazy. When we got there, we shot

818
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 2: it in one day. Funnier Die made it, which was cool.

819
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 2: And then when we got there, there were security because

820
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 2: it's still like it's former military property. So we get

821
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 2: down there and they were like, here's where you can go,

822
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 2: here's where you can't go. And so there were a

823
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,439
Speaker 2: bunch of buildings above ground. Yeah, and so we're walking around,

824
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 2: we're going in there, and they're creepy because all the

825
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,479
Speaker 2: power's out and stuff. But then we just got away

826
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 2: from the security team at some point and we were

827
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 2: standing outside this hatch and like the hatch open and

828
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 2: there was a ladder that went I don't know, what

829
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 2: would you say, forty five feet down at least forty

830
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 2: or fifty feet down. So it was like one of

831
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,879
Speaker 2: the longest ladder climbs I've ever done in my life.

832
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 1: And because you're also descending, you're holding a like a

833
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: headlamp or like you have a headlamp on, and you're

834
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: just descending into pitch blackness, and it's just hand over

835
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: hand on this ladder over and over and you kind

836
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 1: of like can't see the bottom until you get to

837
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: the bottom of it.

838
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 2: So the camera guys get down there. And the thing

839
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 2: about making TV, all of us, all you listeners have

840
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 2: probably a great idea for a TV show, reality show,

841
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 2: scripted show, whatever, But every network when you shoot a

842
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 2: TV show, they're like, well, it has to have an end.

843
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 2: It has to go somewhere. Yeah, it can't just be

844
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 2: Kurt walking around with a funny person endless, Like it

845
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 2: has to build to something. On man versus food, they

846
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 2: eat the biggest burrito. Yeah, So Kurt and Grace go

847
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 2: down where a nuclear missile used to be.

848
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: And we're like exploring and they literally there is a

849
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 1: place where there's an elevator. So it's like a giant

850
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:57,800
Speaker 1: missile sized elevator. It's probably like one hundred feet long

851
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 1: and like probably like twenty feet wide, and that is

852
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 1: literally where like the the roof would open and then

853
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: uh it would raise up the they would raise the

854
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: missile up like horizontally and then it would like get

855
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:13,320
Speaker 1: up into a firing position.

856
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 2: Like so crazy.

857
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: We were just goofing off and we had a and

858
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: the whole point of it was to like leave something

859
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:25,280
Speaker 1: unexpected and like beautiful for someone else to find, right.

860
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 2: Our original unexpected banana. Yeah, and what was that Scotty Well,

861
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 2: in that room with the old worn out cots and

862
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 2: bunk beds, we hung a paint, a framed painting of

863
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:41,399
Speaker 2: a duck for no reason at all as far as

864
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 2: you and I know it's still down in there, because

865
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 2: I know nobody else has been down in there. We

866
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:49,879
Speaker 2: wanted someone like who's doing urban exploration to one day

867
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 2: go down there and be like, wow, this is where

868
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 2: they must have stayed. Why is there a painting of it?

869
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:57,720
Speaker 3: Oh?

870
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,840
Speaker 1: Man, you guys should really and if like, if you

871
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 1: have a chance that that that video, I wish I

872
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 1: still had it. It's you know, it's probably somewhere in

873
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 1: Funnier Dies archives or something.

874
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, it never went anywhere. J Yeah, let me

875
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 2: see if I could find that, because at this point,

876
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 2: let's just release it. Let's just release it. I mean

877
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 2: it will really be fun. Joe or Mike over there

878
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 2: and be like, guys, can we have this back because

879
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 2: we just want to show it? Yeah, probably be like

880
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 2: do you guys want to take it out again. Yeah,

881
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 2: I would take it out with me where we just

882
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 2: take people and get lost in and blindfold people and

883
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 2: drive them to middle nowhere and show them abandoned things.

884
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 2: I mean that sounds perfect. I mean green lighten it

885
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 2: as I'm saying.

886
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, you can go and listen to the old podcast,

887
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:44,560

892
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 1: And of course with Rory Scoville where I take them

893
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: to the LA eighty eight. You guys should go listen

894
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: to them there. There may be I never edited them.

895
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,040

00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 2: with a school, a post office, and a huddle of homes.

927
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,399
Speaker 2: It's like other sub zero villages except for one thing.

928
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 2: Families must have surgery in order to move in. Wow.

929
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 2: Pretty cool. This is crazy.

930
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 1: So I didn't even know that there was villages in Antarctica.

931
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:57,319
Speaker 1: I thought it was just research stations.

932
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 2: There is a documentary called Year on the Ice that

933
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,280
Speaker 2: I wreck. I think it won the Academy Award, but everybody,

934
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 2: if you like a slow documentary, it's it basically has

935
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 2: a camera team that stays down there, and there's some

936
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 2: people that are year rounders, and then there are a

937
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 2: lot of people that come down sort of for the

938
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 2: summer season. But it's it's very fascinating. Okay, I highly

939
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 2: recommend that documentary any tutes. But isn't the summer season

940
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:24,360
Speaker 2: in Arctica just like thirty degrees? Yeah, So there's a

941
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 2: whole bunch of people that come in on planes and

942
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 2: they're like, you know, they we There's people that were

943
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 2: kept two is. There are people that teach, there's people

944
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 2: that do science experiments. There's people that, like you basically

945
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 2: have a little society come and then what then like

946
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 2: all seventy percent of them leave and the people that

947
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 2: stay over the year, it's like dark twenty four hours

948
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 2: a day. It's so freezing cold, the ice comes through

949
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 2: the doors and the walls. It's intense. And then they

950
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 2: have this thing that's either called T one or T three,

951
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 2: it's one of those terms, and it's a psychological condition

952
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 2: where when you're so isolated and you see the same

953
00:49:58,120 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 2: thing every day, it's basically what a lot of people

954
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 2: went through a couple of years ago. You start to

955
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 2: like you start talking and then you just stop talking.

956
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:09,760
Speaker 2: You get disoriented really easily, like you basically your brain

957
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 2: starts to like detach in this way where and it's

958
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 2: just it's from pure isolation and being so far from

959
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 2: everything and everyone and everybody. In the interviews, at the

960
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 2: first they're like, yeah, it's cool down here. This is

961
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,959
Speaker 2: my seventh year doing it. And by the end they're

962
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,880
Speaker 2: talking about food a lot. They're like, interesting, way to

963
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 2: eat a banana, way to eat like any fresh fruits

964
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 2: or vegetables because they just don't have that stuff anyways.

965
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 2: I don't know why I'm promoting this ten year old documentary.

966
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:40,240
Speaker 2: I love it. I'm I'm mad. I get passionate about

967
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 2: things like this. Any dude here, it is imagine you

968
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 2: had to have your appendix removed to live in your hometown.

969
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:50,880
Speaker 2: I'm imagining it. Got it, got it. I don't know

970
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 2: why we have it. Proof evolution is real. Oh, I

971
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 2: guess it's probably the other way. Proof Christianism isn't real.

972
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:03,360
Speaker 2: It's an organ we don't need. Everyone figuratively leaves a

973
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:06,399
Speaker 2: part of themselves behind during a move. However, to move

974
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:10,400
Speaker 2: this Antarctica town requires prospective residents to literally have their

975
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:14,319
Speaker 2: appendix remove before something there that's right, and appendectomy is

976
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 2: one of the few prerequisites for everyone, including the children,

977
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:21,919
Speaker 2: to live in. This is a very Antarctica sounding name

978
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 2: to live in. Vilas Las Estrellas VLAs Las, Australias one

979
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 2: of two civilian settlements on the frozen continent where people

980
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 2: can reside for years instead of weeks or month. Located

981
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 2: in Chile's Frey or Free Base, I'm gonna go a

982
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 2: fray here on King George Island. The outpost only boasts

983
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:52,720
Speaker 2: one hundred inhabitants, predominantly researchers and military personnel. However, those

984
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:56,360
Speaker 2: with longer term contracts often bring their entire families without

985
00:51:56,400 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 2: their appendixes to the spartan settlement, which can insists of,

986
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:02,880
Speaker 2: like I said, a post office, a small school, a bank,

987
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 2: and rudimentary facilities. How would you like to be a

988
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:09,439
Speaker 2: bank teller? What if you got wrong on Antarctica? That's

989
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 2: the Will Forte show I want to watch. So the

990
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 2: preemptive appendix extraction might sound a little sadistic to some,

991
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 2: but it was implemented for a good reason. The nearest

992
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:23,439
Speaker 2: hospital is six hundred and twenty five miles away from

993
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 2: the northernmost tip of the island. Six hundred and twenty

994
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 2: five miles is it is?

995
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 1: But it's not a hospital on Antarctica, right, It's a

996
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 1: hospital in like in a like Patagonia or something.

997
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 2: Probably it doesn't say on here, but I would guess

998
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 2: that's true. But yeah, so six hundred and twenty five

999
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 2: miles away. So if you suffered from appendicitis and affliction

1000
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 2: that requires immediate surgery to prevent it become life threatening.

1001
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 2: Because of the limited healthcare options, people are discouraged. Oh,

1002
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 2: people are also discouraged about getting pregnant while they're there

1003
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:58,400
Speaker 2: for the same Yeah, yeah, fascinating, right, that is really

1004
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 2: very fascinating. These aren't the only precautions people take while

1005
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 2: living in vs Las Australia. In our an Arctica, of course,

1006
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:11,880
Speaker 2: I mean pretty amazing, as temperatures can plummet too, minus

1007
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 2: one hundred degrees fahrenheit. Oh my god, Oh my god.

1008
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:22,720
Speaker 2: I didn't even think it got that cold on Earth. What, yes, exactly, Yeah,

1009
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 2: but if you watch an Arctica you're on the ice,

1010
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:27,719
Speaker 2: you will, all right, I'm getting into it. He's into it.

1011
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 2: Take your CBD pill and check out. Citizens are required

1012
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 2: to stay indoors a risk freezing to death the winter here.

1013
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:37,799
Speaker 2: For in the winter here, we could not leave our

1014
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 2: home for weeks. This is why most people only resigne

1015
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:44,839
Speaker 2: in the colony during the summer, when the mercury hits

1016
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 2: a balmy thirty six degrees fahrenheit. See, you're right, kurrent,

1017
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 2: you know your stuff, and don't even think about bringing

1018
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 2: your poocha along to keep you warm. Dogs are banned

1019
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 2: on the island to prevent prevent them from transmitting diseases

1020
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 2: to the local wild.

1021
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 1: What I would assume it was just because you can't

1022
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:06,800
Speaker 1: let your dog pee outside when it's negative one hundred.

1023
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've seen thing. I'd know that aliens can live

1024
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 2: inside of dogs. An octopus an OCTOPI ummm, yeah, you're

1025
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 2: not allowed to have dogs there. But despite the harsh environment,

1026
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 2: via Las Australias boss many tourist friendly attractions, most notably

1027
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:29,560
Speaker 2: I'll give you a guest kurt a hot tub. Penguins,

1028
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 2: which they're famously gregarious because of their protected status.

1029
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 1: They're gregarious, Oh yeah, because nobody can fuck with them,

1030
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 1: so they just come up and smack, like, smack you

1031
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:39,240
Speaker 1: in the face.

1032
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 2: When I'm thinking about animals that should be considered gregarious,

1033
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 2: I'm thinking I'm thinking grizzly bears. H I'm thinking, uh,

1034
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 2: maybe a seal. I could see a gregarious seal. You

1035
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 2: can see that. I'm thinking penguins. Because if you live

1036
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 2: in vus Las Australias, you can also go ski and

1037
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:03,760
Speaker 2: snowboard expeditions. You can travel to the nearby billings Housen

1038
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 2: to learn about polar auroras. Sounds pretty fun to me.

1039
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:13,359
Speaker 2: What you can go snowboarding in Antarctica. You can ski, snowboarding, snowmobile.

1040
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 2: I guess you like snowmobile. Up and then.

1041
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 1: You get you need two snowmobiles. Okay, I see, it's

1042
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:20,920
Speaker 1: not like there's a ski resort.

1043
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 2: I see it all right.

1044
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:28,680
Speaker 5: And for all our big Internet fans out there, which

1045
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:31,880
Speaker 5: is every single person listening to this podcast, the base

1046
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 5: even has internet access, even though it's reserved for the schools.

1047
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 2: Three computers. Your eBay box take a minute to arrive.

1048
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 2: But anyways, that's pretty cool. I don't know if there's

1049
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:49,280
Speaker 2: ever been a podcast done on an article. I'm guessing

1050
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:51,879
Speaker 2: scientists down there probably have one. I'm gonna look into

1051
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 2: because if not.

1052
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 1: It's tough to get down there. It is very difficult

1053
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:59,799
Speaker 1: to get down there. I know Metallica played a show there.

1054
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:01,799
Speaker 2: It was the first band to play a concert there,

1055
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 2: and they're the fucking best. We love Metallica. Kurt opened

1056
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:06,040
Speaker 2: for Metallic.

1057
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 1: I did open for Metallica because our uh my buddy

1058
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 1: Rocky is she's a booker, a comedy booker, and her

1059
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 1: husband is like just either like best friends with Metallica

1060
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:21,360
Speaker 1: or something. I don't know what the connection is. But

1061
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 1: then she just called me up and she's like, hey,

1062
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 1: do you want to open for Metallic in San Francisco?

1063
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 1: And I was just like oh yeah, okay, and she's

1064
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:31,959
Speaker 1: like it's got They just has to be clean because

1065
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 1: it's like, ah a benefit, and it's just like you

1066
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 1: know it, it has to be clean. It has to

1067
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 1: be non political. So I thought of you and I

1068
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:42,839
Speaker 1: was like, I got it. I'm just going to talk

1069
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:44,400
Speaker 1: about dumb, dumb stuff.

1070
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:46,880
Speaker 2: And it was. It was super fun. It was a

1071
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:49,880
Speaker 2: really fun show. And then whiskey. They gave me a

1072
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:52,239
Speaker 2: bottle of Metallica whiskey. I met.

1073
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:55,360
Speaker 1: I met everybody in Metallica. They were very all friendly.

1074
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:58,400
Speaker 1: They came and asked me about myself. I was just like,

1075
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:01,360
Speaker 1: this is crazy. You didn't have to do that because
