Speaker 2: early next year, who knows.

45
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: I would love to here. It is how the landlocked

46
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: state of Nebraska got its own navy. This was sent

47
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: in by of course copy Hase. Thank you guy, guys.

48
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: This is in the Military Times. Reading the Military Times

49
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: every single day say we're always it's military times is

50
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: by Sarah Sickard or Sicardo.

51
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: Or they are very, very very the best in the business.

52
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: In nineteen thirty, Nebraska Governor Charles Bryan decided to take

53
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: a little vacation, and while he was gone, he left

54
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: Governor tw Metcalf in charge of the state. The power

55
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: went straight to his head, and thus the Great Navy

56
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: of the State of Nebraska was founded as a way

57
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: for Metcalf to appoint his friends as admirals. Okay, he

58
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: did this even though you might notice the simple act

59
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: of lands again a map, Nebraska has absolutely no ocean access.

60
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: In fact, it's the only state in the entire country

61
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: that is triply landlocked. Triply landlocked must mean that there's

62
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: three states in between it and ocean.

63
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: Possibly no, probably not ocean, but or water body of water,

64
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: sure like Michigan or.

65
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: Something right, maybe way far from the ocean. It's way far,

66
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: is the point. Despite the lack of necessity for stand

67
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: maritime security forces, the Great Navy of the State of

68
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: Nebraska continues on to this day, and it has become

69
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: tradition for admiral ships to be bestowed upon notable Nebraskans. Ultimately,

70
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: those who have the title of admiral in the Nebraska

71
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: Navy conferred upon them have absolutely no military authority whatsoever.

72
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: Tells purely symbolic. Similar to the Kentucky Colonels and the

73
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,239
Speaker 1: Rhode Island Commodores. Who are these.

74
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 2: They sound like basketball teams that the Harlem Globetrotters play.

75
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, yeah, And I can imagine the Kentucky Colonels

76
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: are like a big colonel, Like it's one man. It's

77
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: just a colonel's head. That's his entire outfit and it

78
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: goes down to the ground and he just runs around.

79
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: An application for any corn Husker seeking this, the most

80
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: high flutant of titles, is available on the Nebraska gubernatorial website.

81
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 2: I love that website so fun.

82
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: I'm always like, you know what my favorite websites are

83
00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: gubernatorial websites. Admirals and the Great Navy of the State

84
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: of Nebraska are individuals who contributed in some way to

85
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: the state of blah blah blah blah blah. Is it anybody? Oh,

86
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: here's Some of its most esteem members include Bill Murray,

87
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,239
Speaker 1: Bing Crosby, Bill Gates. Only people with the.

88
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: Name B names B Names artists.

89
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: And former Gambian dictator ya Yad Jame.

90
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: No way they got Yaya Jamy.

91
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 1: Who seemingly slipped through the vetting process. What the fuck?

92
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: I just believed their record keeping for Great Navy State

93
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: of Nebraska has been inconsistent through its history. The twenty

94
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: eight year old, understandable Cody Ewing is the youngest Nebraska

95
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: to hold this admirac.

96
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: Good for you, Cody, blah blah.

97
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: Blah, and that's the blah blah blah blah.

98
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 2: That's funny. And doesn't Nebraska have the state motto it's

99
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: not for everyone. I'm pretty sure that's anficial motto. I

100
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: think it's like when you drive in on seventy. I

101
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: think that the billboard says, welcome to Nebraska. It's not

102
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 2: for everyone.

103
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is, honest, it's not for everyone. It's it's

104
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: it's on busily.

105
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 2: It's not for everyone. That is so good and it's.

106
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: Not And it's not like their tagline. It's like an

107
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: ad campaign that they that they have right now. But

108
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: also like that is I love I love the idea

109
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: that like you give someone your job for like a

110
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: couple of weeks while you go on vacation and they

111
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 1: create another arm of the military.

112
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, why not also that kind of stuff.

113
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: Nineteen thirty so it is during prohibition, so possibly people

114
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: are just drinking at all times.

115
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 2: Yes, did you know that?

116
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: My did I ever talk about this? That my great

117
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: grandmother ran a speak easy Pennsylvania and I don't think thirty.

118
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: I have an invitation. I want to get it framed.

119
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: It was called the Black Cat.

120
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 2: It was in great name.

121
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: It was in a town I'm trying to remember. I

122
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: think it was like Buttersworth, Pennsylvania is in the middle

123
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: of the woods. Okay, middle of nowhere. I looked it

124
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: up on line once and it's literally still the woods. Yes. Uh.

125
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: And it was called the Black Cat and it was

126
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: an invitation from nineteen thirty. Oh my god, that I

127
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: still have on a frame. It it's a picture of the

128
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: place in the woods, a cabin in the woods, and

129
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: it just says the Black Cat A good place to prowl. Yeah.

130
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's really good. And it's crazy. You know a

131
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: lot of things happening in the world that most rational,

132
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: intolerant people cannot understand. And then you go, oh, you

133
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 2: know what, also, one hundred years ago they banned drinking

134
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 2: alcohol in America, like anything's possible with certain people in

135
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 2: this country where God, but it was like oh, and

136
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: then they didn't and then suddenly it was over. And

137
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 2: now every commercial on TV is for beer or Seltzer.

138
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 2: I guess now it's really Celtzer.

139
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: L R Seltzer's baby.

140
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I went to we haven't done an East

141
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: Banana land update a very long time, but on our

142
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: after you and I did our show at Moontower and

143
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 2: had so much fun in Austin, Texas, goofen and having fun.

144
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 2: I've road tripped back and I stopped in a town

145
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 2: where I was hunting for land and wooded property. And

146
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 2: it's a beautiful mountain town called Cloudcroft, New Mexico. And

147
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 2: the reason I bring is yeah, Cloudcroft. It's the southernmost

148
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 2: ski resort in North America. Ski mountain Ski Cloudcroft, beautiful town,

149
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 2: super cool little place. I loved it. But I stayed

150
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 2: at the lodge there, and the lodge is probably the

151
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 2: main tourist thing, very very old lodge. The reason it

152
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 2: came to mind is well, two reasons. One I stayed

153
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 2: there because it haunted and I did not see a ghost.

154
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 2: And I tried, So I looked. I looked in every

155
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 2: direction at all times. You woke up straight up and

156
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 2: looked in your eyes and.

157
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,119
Speaker 1: Go come at me. Yeah exactly.

158
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 2: I put it on an old man mask and looked

159
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 2: in the mirror in the middle of the night. Now

160
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 2: there's a ghost name Rebecca, who was killed by a

161
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 2: vengeful lover who haunts the hotel, and in the lobby.

162
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 2: The bar in the lodge is called Rebecca's. And in

163
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 2: the lobby there's a painting of like a semi like

164
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: a translucent woman, of a pretty red headed woman from

165
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 2: the nineteen twenties. But the reason I bring this up

166
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 2: and it reminded me is they had al Capone had

167
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 2: a Speak Easy in the lodge. WHOA isn't that crazy?

168
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 1: In New Mexico?

169
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 2: In cloud Croft, New Mexico, there was a Speak Easy

170
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 2: and it was owned by al Capone during Prohibition, which

171
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 2: I found fascinating. So yeah, I'm looking. We're real close.

172
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 2: Now He's Banana Lands is going to become a reality.

173
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 2: And I think, while we set up whatever it's gonna be,

174
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: stay at the lodge. I can see you and I

175
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 2: drinking at Rebecca's many nights.

176
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: I am ready to do that.

177
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 2: I'm so dude. It's at eight six hundred feet altitude.

178
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 2: It's really it's beautiful.

179
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 1: That's intense story.

180
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 2: Here we go. This was from the Regal and debonair

181
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 2: Baby Got Mac Good last our good handle. Baby Got Mac. Yeah,

182
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 2: this was in many different things, but the best headline

183
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 2: was from bro Bible. You guys know, oh we're not bros.

184
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 2: But boy do they write a title written by Cass

185
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 2: best in the business Anderson, great job Cass soccer player

186
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 2: fired after ripping hanos farts in the locker room and

187
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 2: fans can't stop laughing about it.

188
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: So okay, fre a lot of fired.

189
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,359
Speaker 2: Yes, we don't do a lot of sports stories on bananas,

190
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 2: but boy, this one is bananas in terms of memorable

191
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 2: ways to get fired. I'm having trouble thinking of another

192
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 2: professional athlete who has ever been fired for anything like this.

193
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 2: It has been revealed that Brazilian soccer star Marcello was

194
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 2: fired from Olympic Leones, which is more commonly known as Leon,

195
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 2: for ripping hanos farts in the locker room and then

196
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 2: laughing about it. This is like a premier soccer player

197
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 2: like this guy gets paid tons of money to do

198
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 2: this are you. Prior to being demoted to the second team,

199
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 2: Marcelo had appeared in eleven games for Leon in league

200
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 2: won and scored three goals in his limited appearance. That's

201
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 2: pretty good actually. In the wake of his explosive fart scandal,

202
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 2: it is being reported that Leone's sporting director, which I

203
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: think is Junine Ho or Uninho, who's a fellow Brazilian,

204
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 2: just didn't like Marcelo and used the farts as an

205
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 2: opportunity to oust him from the team.

206
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: What.

207
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, he just didn't like this guy. Oh, Cass is

208
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 2: really good. In the gist of Marcello's juicy farts scandal

209
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 2: is this. He was ripping stanky toots in the locker

210
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 2: room and giggling about it with his teammates, and his

211
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 2: team's leadership used that as leverage to approach him and

212
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 2: remind him that his performances and games had been trashy lately,

213
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 2: as trashy as his rectal emissions.

214
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: Look at that, Cass has gone for it.

215
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 2: Cass is going full. He's using that thesaurus folks ushi. Yeah,

216
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 2: now the entire world is laughing about Marcelo getting fired

217
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 2: for farting. There have been thousands and thousands of tweets

218
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 2: about it. What a story. If you don't love sports

219
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 2: producing stories like Brazil's Marcelo getting fired for farting, then

220
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 2: I'm left with no choice but to assume you and

221
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 2: I have nothing in common, because this is one of

222
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 2: the funniest pro sports stories in years. I guess it is.

223
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 1: I mean, is it so? Will they just demote him

224
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: to the secondary team and then bring him back once

225
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: he like learns his lesson, do you think or is it?

226
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 2: I think so? But if the owners hate him, they'll

227
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 2: probably trade him. But it is crazy whenever somebody uses

228
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 2: a small thing as like leverage to get out of something,

229
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 2: it's always like if you get fired. Some relationships break

230
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 2: up that way, where you're just like, well, I'm going

231
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 2: to end this. There's a there's a ticking clock on

232
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 2: this one, and they do like one small thing and

233
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 2: you're like, yep, that's it.

234
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: That's the straw right there. Always. I also really like

235
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: it when it's like a comedian or like an actor

236
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: on like a very popular show and then they like

237
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: then they release a statement saying like I decided to

238
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: quit the show, and you're like, really, did you this

239
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: incredibly popular show that pays you millions of dollars. You

240
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: decided to walk away for no reason. Okay, yeah, that's

241
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: not what happened. But okay, I love it. I love

242
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: I love that they let you say that. Yeah, and

243
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: also it is funny.

244
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 2: I do think a lot of professional athletes are like

245
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 2: emotionally stunted. I think that they are like very like

246
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 2: boys at heart or whatever. And I think that Marcella

247
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 2: proves this to be true.

248
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, oh hell yeah.

249
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 2: There was this one kid I played soccer with, and

250
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 2: he was he would just listen to CDs on his

251
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 2: headphones the entire time when the coach would be talking,

252
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 2: and they'd be like, take your headphones out. I won't

253
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 2: name his name, but he uh. He sort of famously

254
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 2: had like big ears that stuck out, and he would

255
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 2: like he would always position himself intentionally with the headphones

256
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 2: so the sun was to the back of it, like

257
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 2: from the back of his head silhouetted and you could

258
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 2: like see through, and we everybody was always like, when

259
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 2: you're gonna get like your's ears pin back. He did,

260
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 2: and they look beautiful, but for a while pin Yeah. Yeah,

261
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 2: sometimes if you're your stick out. There's a very simple

262
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 2: procedure that you can that best have them. They don't

263
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 2: pin them back. They just do a little procedure where

264
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 2: they kind of cut and reattach them and then it

265
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 2: doesn't happen anymore. WHOA Before that happened, we would always

266
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 2: be like, dude, you gotta stop standing in some in

267
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 2: front of the the window. Man, you gotta stop standing

268
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 2: in front of the window like you're distracting us. We're

269
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 2: all looking at you because it's glowing and we He

270
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 2: was the best guy, but he would, uh, he would

271
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 2: clear us out. He would put his headphones in, he'd

272
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 2: stand so his ears were glowing, and then he would

273
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: just rip the most terrifying farts. But it was like, dude,

274
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 2: just because you can't hear them doesn't mean that we

275
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 2: can't hear them or smell them or deal with them.

276
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 2: You know, you don't want to do that kind.

277
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: Of Ah, I had no idea you could get your

278
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: ears fixed. That's so clear.

279
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 2: That's lots of I learned younger and younger. You can

280
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 2: do it, and good for them. Do whatever you want

281
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 2: to do to yourself. As long as it's you to do,

282
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 2: you make the decision, do whatever you want to do

283
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 2: to your.

284
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: Your body, your choice, your choice. Here it is some

285
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: some fish cause Earth's oceans to move during sex. Really yeah,

286
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:33,720

00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: I found them. I found this in canoe dot com,

Speaker 1: media news. Okay, all right, whatever medi Yeah. Anchovies in

295
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: particular costs such as stir during their spawning season that

296
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: they get the Earth's oceans moving, helping to circulate nutrients

297
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: and oxygen. That's like the tagline. And here it is

298
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: from post Media News. When some fish get busy, they

299
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: can make the ocean move. According to a study. I

300
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: feel like it's not the it's not the that's not

301
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: the size of your canoe, it's the motion of the ocean.

302
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 2: Should be in this article, right, Yeah, they missed it,

303
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 2: especially right.

304
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,520

Speaker 1: season that they get the ocean's Earth's Earth's ocean moving,

308
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: helping circulate nutrients and oxygen. The study done by University

309
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: of Southampton researchers found that waters and coastal regions are

310
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: mixed during anchovy spawning and it helps to keep the

311
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: ocean ecosystems running and sustaining life. That's right, fish boning

312
00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: help the ocean sustain life. The mixing of the oceans

313
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: is crucial to ensure heat, oxygen, nutrients, and pollutants are

314
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: moved between different layers. According to The Daily Mail, oh

315
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: now we're depending upon the Daily booooo. The study team

316
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 1: monitored water turbulence in Rhea de Pontevedra, a bay in

317
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: the northwest coast of the Iberian Peninsula, for fifteen days.

318
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: Using an instrument called a microstructure profiler, the team was

319
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: able to monitor tiny viration variations in current speed and temperature.

320
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: Their analysis revealed that despite the weather staying calm throughout

321
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 1: the fifteen days, turbulence within the water increased every night

322
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: as fish gathered in the bay. Samples collected with fishing

323
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: nets revealed huge numbers of recently spawned eggs of European anchovy.

324
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: What a job that suggested the frantic behavior of the

325
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: antrophies during spawning was responsible for the increased water turbulence.

326
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: And then the article just ends very abruptly, no fund

327
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: line to go out on, no no conclusion whatsoever. That's

328
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: how post media news does it. It's just over.

329
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 2: Oh well, yeah they could have had a little they

330
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 2: should have a sign off if your canoe dot.

331
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: Com Yeah like keep paddling, folks.

332
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly right, happy paddling or something like, yeah, that's

333
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 2: pretty good.

334
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: I want to let's see if canoe dot here's let's

335
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: let's let's take a bet. Right now, do you think

336
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 1: canoe dot com is a fish or fishing based magazine.

337
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 2: I would guess it's I would say no. Then I

338
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 2: bet one dollar it's not.

339
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: Okay, here it is canoe dot com? Is I just

340
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: clicked on it? What are our what are our articles?

341
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 2: I hope they're all about fish? Sex is a weird

342
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: group of webmaster perverts.

343
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: It is not anything.

344
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 2: It's is it even about canoeing?

345
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: It's not about canoeing? Oh boy, maybe it's Canadian.

346
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah.

347
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: It's definitely Canadian, because there's definitely people here who I

348
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: don't even know who they are. Yes, and then it's it. Yeah,

349
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: it just seems like kind of it's just trashy news. Oh, yes,

350
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: trashy news. There it is, well and answered it for us.

351
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 2: I stayed. It's funny. I stayed in a airbnb. I

352
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 2: got to look up this this band. I think I

353
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 2: found it. Actually, I stayed in this house and in

354
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 2: the airbnb, it was really nice, and I noticed the

355
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 2: kitchen was really nice, and I noticed that the like

356
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 2: the host of the place had was like, Hey, you

357
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 2: can drink anything you want in there, make yourself at home,

358
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 2: use any of the ingredients. It was actually very nice place.

359
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 2: And in the office, I went to do a little

360
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 2: work one day and I was writing and there was

361
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 2: an article about the woman. She's a chef. And in

362
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 2: the article it was like, you know, I'm from Canada originally,

363
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 2: and my dad is kind of like a rock and

364
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 2: roll star. And I was like, I don't recognize this

365
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 2: guy's name at all. And the band was called fifty

366
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 2: four to forty, which I think is like fifty four

367
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 2: to forty or Fight, which was I don't know, an

368
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 2: old an old revolutionary war call, or something like that,

369
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 2: and I was like, I haven't heard of this person.

370
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 2: But they wrote the song called I Go Blind, which

371
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: was like a pretty big song, and who do you

372
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 2: in the Blowfish covered it? Anybody who listens to Friends? No,

373
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 2: I think it was like in an episode of Friends.

374
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 2: But so I went from being like I have never

375
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 2: heard of a fifty four to forty to going, yeah,

376
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 2: that guy's probably got some money from writing that song.

377
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: It's a pretty good little song. I love that. I

378
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: love it when you're just like, who the hell?

379
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 2: Oh hey, yes, it happens a lot, and with Canada

380
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 2: happens a lot. There was a guy, Tom Cochran who

381
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 2: wrote Life as a Highway that came out like nineteen

382
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 2: ninety something in the States. That guy's huge up there?

383
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: Is he really huge and huge huge up there? You

384
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: know who else? He's huge with my children? Because it's

385
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: in the Cars soundtrack.

386
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 2: Is the so I've never seen the Cars trilogy. Is

387
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 2: Cars about the fact that the world can just live

388
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 2: with cars and not people. Are there people in the

389
00:20:58,840 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 2: Cars movies?

390
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: There are no human beings. There's a lot of questions

391
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: about the Cars universe. I see, for me at least, like,

392
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: how do they make babies and stuff like that.

393
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 2: It makes you wonder.

394
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: It does make you wonder. But what's fascinat about the

395
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: Cars trilogy is that Cars one is really good, and

396
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: Cars three is really good, and Cars two is so

397
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: insanely bad. It's it's like, it's it's fascinating. It's like

398
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: it's a totally different movie that they just tind to

399
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 1: cram in and make everything cars. It's so confusing, fantastic. Look,

400
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: you know what, why don't you tease us into a break? Scottie?

401
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 2: Okay, an alcohol called Sacred Seltzer will bless your palette

402
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 2: with alcoholic holy water.

403
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: I'm excited to listen to this. I'm excited to dip

404
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,720

445
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 2: to say fifty four to forty or fight was actually

446
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 2: the presidential former President James K. Polk. It was a

447
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 2: campaign issue. It was to push the Brits to let

448
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 2: us have all the land. Basically, we're stealing land. We

449
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 2: wanted it all the way up to Alaska. So President

450
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 2: Polk won the presidency in eighteen forty five. Kurt, isn't

451
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 2: that so interesting? Had nothing to do with the Revolutionary War?

452
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 2: All right, we are morons.

453
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: I've not heard of one part of that.

454
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: So James K. Polk really good president.

455
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: I guess I've heard of James K. Polk And that's

456
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: the only Everything else was gibberish to me, yep, should

457
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: be let's get into this story. You got sketch.

Speaker 1: I used to have like in my uh, in my

527
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: closet growing up, there would be just this tupperware container.

528

Speaker 1: on there.

532
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm jogging every day now.

533
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: I remember drinking it, just being like, well, what's it like?

534
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: It must taste different. Nope, just tastes like the tupperware

535
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: that it was upperware. Yeah, just tastes.

536
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 2: It was probably whatever bleeding plastic into But that's okay. Yes,

537
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 2: you heard me. Mischief wasn't playing games when it said

538
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 2: its sacred Seltzer was spiked holy water beverage. For Christ's sake,

539
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 2: a real Catholic priest blessed the contents of incompliance with

540
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 2: the Church's very real standard procedure.

541
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: Wow believe ezy.

542
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 2: Mischief even has a video of the blessing, which took

543
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 2: place in Los Angeles County to prove it. Mischief lives

544
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 2: for rough feathers of the conservative Christians of the world.

545
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 2: You get them highsnabiety dot com. Christianity is obviously a

546
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 2: potent cultural element in the world, and therefore attractive for

547
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 2: us to play with. These guys do sound like they're

548
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 2: up to mischief, Kurt Mike get If you couldn't tell

549
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 2: that Mischief enjoys poking fun at religion in its past drops,

550
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 2: I'm sure Sacred Seltzer is enough to confirm it for you.

551
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 2: If not, there's always the Mischief Sacred Seltzer site, which

552
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 2: allows you to tweet at Pope Francis, but it actually

553
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 2: goes to Mischief and view Veggietails's Bible story collection if

554
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 2: you're under twenty one. I mean, that was one of

555
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 2: the strangest articles we've ever had.

556
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: Would I try drinking it?

557
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 2: Sure?

558
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: Oh, I will totally try drinking them. Also, it's funny

559
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: that they're like, we're trying to poke fun by actually

560
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: giving people holy water, by actually exactly where people blessed holywater.

561
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: That probably in the priest's size is like, well, it's

562
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: gonna do more good in heathen's bodies than it will

563
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: for anyone else.

564
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 2: That's right. If you catch fire as soon as you

565
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 2: start drinking it, it was your time to go. When

566
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 2: I was a little guy, when I was like four,

567
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 2: I think my dad was hanging Christmas lights on the

568
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 2: tree out front, and my older sister told me to

569
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 2: get in the box and jump up and down like

570
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 2: a whatever the jack in the box? I guess, uh huh,

571
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 2: And so I did, And then it started tipping over

572
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 2: in the front yard, and I was going towards the

573
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 2: front stairs and I hit my forehead. I put my

574
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 2: hands out to stop, but they were inside the box

575
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 2: because I was so little, So I just went head

576
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 2: first directly into the stairs and split my head open

577
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 2: right across my forehead and started bleeding. My sister was

578
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 2: so upset she vomited. My dad, who's hanging Christmas lights,

579
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 2: is like, oh great, now you know you're a parent.

580
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 2: Now you're like, oh, now I get to deal with this,

581
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:47,959
Speaker 2: this one chore I didn't really want to do. Now

582
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 2: I'm going to the hospital. So I don't remember much

583
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 2: about it. I do remember the car ride. I do

584
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 2: remember getting stitches. I remember the doctor and they put

585
00:31:56,560 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 2: a little like paper thing around my face, like how

586
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 2: they put a cone on dogs after surgery. They kind

587
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 2: of put one around my little childy face. And then

588
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 2: they were cleaning the cut in the area and they

589
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 2: were spraying me with like water to clean me off

590
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 2: and to disinfect or whatever. And I guess I said,

591
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 2: excuse me, I've already had a shower today and like

592
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 2: rolled my eyes my first surgery and I'm like already,

593
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 2: like mmm, I'm sorry, I already took a shower. I'm

594
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 2: four years old. I was previously a jack in the box,

595
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 2: and I still have a scar. I'm still a little

596
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 2: scar on my head. I forget my sister, she is absolved.

597
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: How much how much older is your sister than you?

598
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 2: Two years?

00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 2: Excuse me, I am anyting a shower today. If I

00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,600

Speaker 1: Flamingo that escaped from a zoo in Kansas has spotted

610
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: once again in Texas seventeen years later.

611
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I saw that. I love this story. Also,

612
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 2: I read that flamingos are among the dumbest animals in

613
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 2: the world.

614
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,120

Speaker 2: They're like, this is one dumb animal. Anyways, great story.

618
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: Also, I didn't never knew that that's how they get

619
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: their coloring too. They were normally white birds, but because

620
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: of those shrimps that they eat, there's like a red

621
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: dye in them. And this one has not been eating

622
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: any of those red shrimps because it is a white bird. Okay,

623
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: here it is. This was sent in by many people,

624
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: but I saw from Anna Kalanawska, so Anna, thank you

625
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: love it. This is in the old Smithsonian magazine. So

626
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: you know it's fake news or real boring. This was

627
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: written by Margaret Osborne. She is the best in the biz.

628
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 2: M here.

629
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: It is a Tanzanian flamingo that escaped from azoo in

630
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: Kansas in two thousand and five has spotted again in

631
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: Texas earlier this month. The flamingo also called number four

632
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,439
Speaker 1: nine two because it rolls off the ton She has

633
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 1: been periodically seen over the past seventeen years, but it's

634
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: last sighting in Texas occurred a year or two ago,

635
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: reports the Associated Press. Quote looks like Pink Floyd has

636
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: returned from the dark side of the moon. Oh, come on,

637
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: too easy and also too old.

638
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 2: That's not even old for you and me, the.

639
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 1: Coastal Fisheries Division of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department

640
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,280
Speaker 1: wrote on Facebook, showing a video of the flamingo towering

641
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: over some seabirds. The department gave number four nine to

642
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 1: a nickname Pink Floyd, reports the Kansas City Stars. Caitlin

643
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,720
Speaker 1: alanis ironically a Chilean flamingo by the same name escaped

644
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: to zoo in Utah in nineteen eighty eight. For people

645
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:15,399
Speaker 1: who interact with flamingoes don't have much imagination. Number four

646
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: nine two came to the Sedgwick County Zoo in Wichita, Kansas,

647
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: in the early two thousands, along with thirty nine other

648
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: flamingos from Tanzania. If the birds had arrived as newborns,

649
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: the zoo would have surgically removed part of their wings

650
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: to keep them from flying away, reported The New York Times.

651
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: These flamingos arrived at three years old, and the zoo

652
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: considered the amputation unethical for birds of that age. Instead,

653
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: zoo staff usually clip adult flamingo's feathers once a year,

654
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 1: a procedure that is similar to a haircut, said Scott Newlan,

655
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: the curator of birds at the zoo, to the Times. Yes,

656
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 1: a haircut that robs you of the only freedom you have.

657
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 2: Oh and why wouldn't it.

658
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: In June two thousand and five, two flamingos that had

659
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: not yet had their feathers clipped escape. Zoo officials tried

660
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: to approach them, but the birds got spooked. On July third,

661
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: a storm rolled in and the pair left Kansas one

662
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:09,240
Speaker 1: from north to Michigan and disappeared, likely perishing over the winter.

663
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: Newsland tells The Times, other number four ninety two went

664
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: to Texas. My god, they just both bolted in opposite directions,

665
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 1: so it's like, no, you're going north, now we're going south.

666
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 1: One person was right, and the following year's number four

667
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:28,720
Speaker 1: nine two was spoted in Louisiana, Wisconsin, and Texas all

668
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: over the fucking place. At one point, it even found

669
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: a companion, a Caribbean flamingo that may have come to

670
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: the US from Mexico during Hurricanes Rita and Katrina, reported

671
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: the Associated Press in two thousand and seven. Even though

672
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: they're two different species, they are enough alike that they

673
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: would have been more than happy to see each other.

674
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: They're two lonely birds in a kind of a foreign habitat.

675
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 1: They're not supposed to be there, so they have stayed

676
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:58,399
Speaker 1: together because there's a bond. Wow. The zoo has made

677
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 1: any plans to catch number four nine to quote, there

678
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: really is an easy way to recapture the bird. It

679
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: would only disturb wildlife where it's been found and possibly

680
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: could do more damage to the bird than just leaving

681
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: him alone, said zoos spokesworst spokesperson Christian Barmer. Yeah. After

682
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: concern from users on Facebook, about invasive species. Oh boy, here,

683
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 1: thanks Texas Blory one. What the one flamingo is going

684
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: to invade destroy everything?

685
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 2: He's living his best life, Pink Floyd's having the time

686
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 2: of his life down there.

687
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: Quote. While this flamingo is not native to Texas, keep

688
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: in mind that female flamingos can only produce about one

689
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 1: egg a year, the department wrote, quote. Invasive species are

690
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: definitely a threat to our natural ecosystems, but we aren't

691
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: really worried about this one.

692
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 2: Folks.

693
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 1: Come on, I would say, as we all know, Bananas

694
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 1: has taken a firm stance on invasive species of them,

695
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: but we really admire their go get it this yep,

696
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: and this is I say, this is the best invasis

697
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 1: he's ever Yeah.

698
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 2: Just a one solitary flamingo hanging out in Texas, not

699
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 2: bothering anybody. Sounds like he's not eating the shrimp. Sounds

700
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 2: like a great thing. Whenever I hear flamingos, I just

701
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 2: think of the else in Wonderland when the queen uses

702
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 2: a flamingo to play croquet as a croquet like that

703
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 2: is so stuck in my head from my childhood. It

704
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 2: will never not go anywhere and then also I talked

705
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 2: about this probably two years ago, but I used to

706
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 2: sponsor softball teams rec leagues in reisters Down, Maryland, and

707
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 2: they I was the furthest away. Everybody else is like,

708
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 2: you know, a local dentist or a local plumber or

709
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 2: whatever they are, and they were like that, so I

710
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 2: don't get to pick anything. They just tell me, like, hey,

711
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 2: it's under twelve, under ten, under eight. Your team colors

712
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 2: are pink. You can pick a mascot. So I said,

713
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 2: I want to be the fighting Flamingos. I had our

714
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 2: buddy Edmund Hawkins make me an incredible logo for it,

715
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 2: and then I asked all I asked the two women

716
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 2: that were my contacts for the rec league, please ask

717
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 2: for one team photo where all the players stand with

718
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 2: one leg up like a flamingo. And they never sent

719
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,959
Speaker 2: it to me. I still never seed it to this day.

720
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 2: But come on the town Flamingos with pink jerseys.

721
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 1: So you just did it once.

722
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 2: I did it three years, but that was the third

723
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 2: year I did it, and then I guess it was

724
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 2: before the Great Choir because I don't think they played

725
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 2: that next season. And then they haven't reached out again

726
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 2: because maybe they were like, oh, weirdo pervert Hollywood man

727
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 2: is one, but it's so funny. Who cares, That's right.

728
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: They're just like, no, this seems weird, and it's like, oh,

729
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: come on.

730
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 2: This is slightly weird. Well, they probably are just overworked,

731
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 2: is the real answer. Okay, here's one for you. Speed

00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 1: the Gess officials are there on hand, ready to go,

776
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: ready to hand out those awards.

777
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 2: I like that.

778
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: Ye want I want to know what the weirdest one

779
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: is that they did, you know, like that day. But

780
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: I guess we won't find out now.

781
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll have to find out one day. You got one,

782
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 2: I got so many, I got one? Good, I got

783
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 2: so many going back this deep, Holy smokes, I forgot

784
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 2: about all these stories.

785
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: How Nissan creates its signature new car smell. Okay, this

786
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 1: I found. This was on CNN Business by Peter Valdez d'apina.

787
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:44,359
Speaker 1: Thank you, Peter, so good. People love that quote new

788
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: car smell for most cars. And yes, vis it's a

789
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: new mixture of plastics staying resistance fabrics, so maybe some

790
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: actual leather as well. True, it's a complex olifactory corus

791
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: illicits an emotional response. At car companies like Nissan, there

792
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: are profession, part of whose job is to sniff carefully

793
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 1: and ensure every new car has that unique car smell,

794
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,839
Speaker 1: cool job blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

795
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Here it is. But these difficult demands

796
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 1: are why car makers employ people like Tory Keri, a

797
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: materials engineer at Nissan's technical center in Farmington Hills, Michigan.

798
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 1: She oversees a team of oder experts who carefully analyze

799
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 1: the smells of everything that goes inside of vehicles, like

800
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: the Nissan pathfiner blah blah blah. Wow. I met her

801
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: on the show floor of the New York Auto Show

802
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 1: to talk about smells and put my own nose to

803
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: the test. Kiri was originally hired as a plastics materials engineer,

804
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,320
Speaker 1: but partly because plastics make up the majority of materials

805
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: inside a non luxury vehicle, she was soon given overall

806
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 1: responsibility for the way Nissan vehicles smell inside.

807
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 2: Also, what are they implying that luxury vehicles are made

808
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 2: out of like marble and mahogany? Driving around? All cars

809
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 2: are all plastic and metal? Oh not for the luxury

810
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:03,879
Speaker 2: class we're driving around an alabaster.

811
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 1: I think that there's there might be more wood and

812
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 1: leather in that's luxury vehicle, that's right, but really not

813
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:12,919
Speaker 1: that much.

814
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 2: Yeah talking about Yeah.

815
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: Just like a little piece here and a little bit.

816
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,959
Speaker 1: Every time we launch a vehicle, we have to test

817
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: the odor of it, she said, as a new model

818
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 1: is being developed. Kiri and maybe it's kirol I don't know,

819
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 1: and her team sniff test individual vehicle parts such as

820
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 1: steering wheel, seat cushions and visors before they are put

821
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: into the vehicle to make sure they have a pleasant

822
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: or at least inoffensive odor. Then there is a photo

823
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: and I am going to post this photo. It is

824
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:44,280
Speaker 1: simply a photo of this woman, Tory Key or kirol

825
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 1: I won't tell if it's an iron l who knows.

826
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 1: Just the visor in a new knee sound car is

827
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 1: down and she's just smelling it. She's not using like

828
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 1: some high tech thing to like see how many mollik

829
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 1: fuels of that chemical or in the air. She's just

830
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 1: sniffing it, just the old snoop, putting the old snowed

831
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:10,439
Speaker 1: up there. Even though this I'm just gonna jump around

832
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: in this article because there's so weird hues even though

833
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: all the components in the car have by that point

834
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:20,800
Speaker 1: been pre smelled before being installed at a prototype vehicle,

835
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 1: there are still surprises. As with cooking, some smells that

836
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: are just fine or even very nice on their own

837
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: can come together to create a hellish funk. Or sometimes

838
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 1: there was a smell that was somehow missed in an

839
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 1: earlier sniffing. Then team has to start investigating. She and

840
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: the members of the team are all called certified smellers

841
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 1: quote I mean parentheses. There as a training and certification

842
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: that involves carefully administered smell identification tests. Wow, this is crazy.

843
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 1: They begin their investigation a months the same way you

844
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 1: would try to find a weird odor in your own car.

845
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 1: They methodically sniff every inch of the inside of the

846
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 1: car until they narrowed down where the offense smell is

847
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:04,359
Speaker 1: coming from. Once they narrow down the bad odor, they

848
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: begin the process of teasing out exactly what material or

849
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 1: combination of materials is causing it. This is crazy, This

850
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: is insane.

851
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:15,280
Speaker 2: These women, this woman should be working with Jensen and Holes.

852
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 2: They should be solving crimes with these snoops. Put these

853
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 2: snoops to true crime greatness.

854
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 1: Often a surprising off smell and the fully assembled vehicle

855
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 1: is due to a supplier having changed some aspect of

856
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 1: how a part is made. Did you ever tell you

857
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 1: that what I got a like the first car we

858
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 1: ever released was a Honda. The day we got it,

859
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: we parked it in the in the driveway and we

860
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: woke up in the morning and it wouldn't start, and

861
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 1: we had like call the people in we have it

862
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 1: picked up. We're like, we just got this. And what

863
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 1: it was was they use a soy based plastic for

864
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 1: like some specific wiring in the car, and rats love

865
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: to eat it. Literally, rats immediately ran up inside the

866
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: engine block ate this plastic that was made out of soy.

867
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:09,479
Speaker 1: And then the whole fucking card at work the day

868
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 1: after we had gotten it.

869
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 2: It was so crazy that seems like somebody should have

870
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 2: been sniffing those cables.

871
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:18,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, no kidding. And also like what all right whatever?

872
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 1: So he says he tried sniffing at himself and he

873
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 1: couldn't tell the difference. Uh, And it's apparently she's got

874
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 1: a real great snooter.

875
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 2: All right, Well, yeah, she's good at the old sniff

876
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 2: sniff test. I was at a when I first got

877
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:40,880
Speaker 2: my little old car, my little BMW. I had no speakers.

878
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 2: They were all blown out at an all cassette player.

879
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 2: So I went I went up and I got a

880
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:47,839
Speaker 2: CD player in, and then I went back a couple

881
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 2: months later, get speakers put in, and I go to

882
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 2: this place in Glendale and it's like the highest rated

883
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 2: place on y'elp, but it's still it's still car people.

884
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 2: Car people are so shady. So he's like, I go

885
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 2: walk around the galleria. I'll give you a caller text

886
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 2: when we're done. Should be about an hour. So like

887
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 2: twenty minutes later, I'm walking around and he's like, mister Scott,

888
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 2: already a bad time when people call me mister Scott,

889
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 2: you're just fucked. Uh, mister Scott, whoever put the stereo

890
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:18,319
Speaker 2: in should be shot. And I go, boy, you did,

891
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 2: and he goes, what I go, you did three months ago?

892
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 2: He goes, I did. I go yes.

893
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,720
Speaker 1: So there's like a pause. There's like a nice long pause.

894
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 2: I'm just standing in the mall going and he goes,

895
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 2: all right, how about twenty percent off these speakers? And

896
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 2: I go okay. So then he just put him in.

897
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 2: But he was like just gonna he was gonna try

898
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 2: to upsell me for like putting a new thing in

899
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 2: rewiring it. But yeah, whoever did this to you should

900
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:48,479
Speaker 2: be shot. You did it. You did it three months ago.

901
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 2: All right, you want twenty percent off these speakers? Yes,

902
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,319
Speaker 2: I do. Awesome, they sound great. So he did a

903
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:54,839
Speaker 2: good job.

904
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 1: Oh my god. It is so weird, you know, like

905
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:01,280
Speaker 1: it's just such a The whole fact that you can't

906
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 1: buy a new car without going to a dealership is insane.

907
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're starting to get around, right. I think. I

908
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 2: think Carvana. I think there are websites and stuff, and

909
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 2: I think there are things now where you just kind

910
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 2: of pick a car on line, they just bring it

911
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:16,840
Speaker 2: to you.

912
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,240
Speaker 1: It's those are used cars. They're all used cars.

913
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 2: Oh I see, Yeah, you're talking cubes.

914
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:24,359
Speaker 1: You can't buy a new car if it's online. If

915
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 1: you go on cars dot com you find a new car,

916
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 1: you have to then go to the dealership. The dealership

917
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 1: will send it to you, but you have to deal

918
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 1: with the dealership.

919
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:34,240
Speaker 2: Well, how weird is it that, even in the age

920
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 2: of streaming for Netflix and HBO and Amazon and all that,

921
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 2: that we still have a pilot season and they still

922
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:41,800
Speaker 2: shoot things all summer and they still put new shows

923
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 2: out on networks in the fall because that is when

924
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 2: car companies used to advertise on television. Oh, the whole

925
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 2: new show cycle of sitcoms on major networks was because

926
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 2: cars release all their new models in the fall, so

927
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 2: pilot season takes place in the late winter. Then they

928
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:03,279
Speaker 2: write and shoot all summer and they release it. And

929
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 2: we still do that system on some networks because of

930
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 2: car culture.

931
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:11,880
Speaker 1: That's I had no idea it was because of cars

932
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 1: as well.

933
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, pretty interesting, huh.

934
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 1: And the reason that Los Angeles doesn't have a good

935
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:21,319
Speaker 1: public transportation system is because.

936
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:26,720
Speaker 2: Of fire tire tire companies. Yeah, Firestone, Yeah, thanks Firestone.

937
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:31,840
Speaker 1: Isn't that crazy tire companies. It's just literally a little

938
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 1: bit of a buck. And then the worst part is, well,

939
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 1: and we'll stop complaining about this, but there is a train.

940
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 1: There's a train in Los Angeles that was supposed to

941
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 1: go to the airport and it's stopped and the and

942
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 1: the taxi fucking union, uh like he paid the city off,

943
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 1: and now the train stops one mile before the airport,

944
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:58,800
Speaker 1: so then you have to take a cab that last

945
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 1: mile to the airport. There. Finally fixing it for the

946
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 1: fucking Olympics. But that's so insane that that's and it's

947
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:11,439
Speaker 1: like just for that, it's fine. Uber, I'm fine. Uber

948
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 1: came around and disrupted it just for that taxi union.

949
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 2: We're lift boys, you know it. Also, when Bird scooters

950
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 2: came out, Kurt and I tried to get Bird to

951
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 2: led us to scoot from San Francisco to La as

952
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 2: a promotion. They did not respond. I've actually never had

953
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:31,799
Speaker 2: anybody never respond. Multiple we kept tweeting at them over

954
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 2: we were tweeting at them, I was emailing. I was

955
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 2: like I was doing everything I could to get to

956
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:38,840
Speaker 2: like whoever decides to do their like non traditional marketing.

957
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 2: I'm like, all we need is one van and a

958
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 2: bunch of charge scooters and we're going to go down

959
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,840
Speaker 2: the pch own scooters from San Francisco. We were headquarters

960
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 2: is to Los Angeles and just crickets.

961
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 1: Crickets because they knew that if we were trying to

962
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 1: scoot like eight hours a day, the reviews would just

963
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 1: be scooting awful. Yes, we would just have we would

964
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 1: have a carpet tunnel syndrome.

965
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:07,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, like missing teeth just from cracking going down. Also,

966
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 2: I would still totally do it. Okay. My friend Sarah

967
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:13,279
Speaker 2: sent this one in, and so I went on and

968
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 2: did a little research and the product I'm going to

969
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 2: talk about, you can get it on eBay, some for

970
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 2: thirty dollars, some for over three hundred dollars, still in

971
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:25,880
Speaker 2: the box. This was maybe also sent in by J.

972
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 2: Frank Wilson. Here it is controversial Nimbus two thousand. Okay, okay,

973
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 2: the controversial Nimbus two thousand vibrating Harry Potter broomstick has

974
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 2: parents in an.

975
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: Uproar, little little a little innocent vibrator.

976
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly. So thanks for sending this in, Sarah. Is

977
00:52:56,640 --> 00:53:00,399
Speaker 2: this an innocent broomstick or a secret Harry Potter second toy?

978
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 2: Read the Amazon Nimbus two thousand reviews from angry parents,

979
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 2: and then decide for yourself. So this came out a

980
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 2: little while ago. As part of their licensing agreement with

981
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 2: the Harry Potter franchise. Mattel, a real toy company, produced

982
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 2: a series of Harry Potter related products, including a Nimbus

983
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:21,280
Speaker 2: two thousand broomstick toy. If you're unfamiliar with the Nimbus

984
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 2: two thousand, it's the flying broomstick that was given to

985
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 2: Harry Potter by Professor Minerva. I guess it's mcgonagal, Sure,

986
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 2: Minerva McGonagall, I'm sure all our potterheads are just screaming

987
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 2: at the dashboard right now after he earned a spot,

988
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 2: oh Harry, after he earned a spot on the Griffindor

989
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:44,359
Speaker 2: quidditch team. The Nimbus two thousand plays an important role

990
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 2: in Harry Potter series, and the broomstick toy was very popular,

991
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:53,240
Speaker 2: but there was something behind the strong sales of demand

992
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 2: for this toy, more than just Harry Potter fandom. While

993
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:59,320
Speaker 2: walking down New York City's Eighth Avenue, I noticed a

994
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 2: sex shop in the Times Square area was selling the

995
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:06,319
Speaker 2: Harry Potter Nimbus two thousand brimstick for forty dollars, which

996
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 2: at the time was double the online retail price. The

997
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 2: toy was prominently placed in the window of the store

998
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:17,720
Speaker 2: under a sign that read adult Toys, So at first

999
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:19,880
Speaker 2: I thought it was a Harry Potter knockoff product. So

1000
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:21,959
Speaker 2: I double check the spelling and imagery on the box.

1001
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 2: I was expecting that instead of Harry Potter it might

1002
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 2: say something like Henry Potter, but it was real and

1003
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 2: everything checked out. I then read the Nimbus two thousand

1004
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 2: Amazon reviews from angry parents.

1005
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:39,160
Speaker 1: Oh boy, here we go.

1006
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 2: This is from actual customers. Amazon reviewer. I'll keep them

1007
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 2: all anonymous. I recently bought the Nimbus two thousand toy

1008
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 2: for my son. He's a huge Harry Potter fan, seen

1009
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 2: the movie thirty two times in theaters and even made

1010
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 2: and even made the paper. Don't know what that means,

1011
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 2: but I'm sure somebody does this. He gives him the

1012
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 2: ability to fly around the house zapping things. The only

1013
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 2: problem I see with this Harry Potter broomstick is the

1014
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:08,839
Speaker 2: battery strain too fast and his sisters fight him over it.

1015
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 2: So now I need to buy another one. Okay, that's

1016
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 2: from Maine. Keep the batteries out, says this reviewer, a

1017
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 2: toy enthusiast from New Jersey. This toy was number one

1018
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:23,800
Speaker 2: on my kid's Christmas lists, so what the heck? Although

1019
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 2: it has no educational value, I figured it'd be good

1020
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:28,799
Speaker 2: for imaginative play. Wasn't until my daughter opened the gift

1021
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:30,879
Speaker 2: and started playing with it that I realized this toy

1022
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 2: may offer more of a sensational experience. All these parents

1023
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 2: just lose their minds. So method shops send a note

1024
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:43,120
Speaker 2: to Amazon asking for comment, and they stopped selling the

1025
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 2: Nimbus two thousand and ten. Potter, Yeah, they stopped selling them.

1026
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:50,560
Speaker 1: Why would it vibrate to begin with? And you straddle

1027
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 1: it and it vibrates.

1028
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 2: It's a child, I mean, I guess it's to I mean,

1029
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 2: if it made sound effects, I kind of understand it.

1030
00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:58,400
Speaker 2: But yes, it's it.

1031
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:02,280
Speaker 1: This seems better, but it seemed to bottom step top

1032
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:05,919
Speaker 1: to bottom. Kids are putting it between their legs. It's vibrating.

1033
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 1: That's insane, Like there's no reason. When you think of

1034
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 1: the experience of flying on a broomstick, you're not like, well,

1035
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 1: it's quite a bumpy ride. Yeah, it should be smooth

1036
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 1: as wind. Yes, it's so funny.

1037
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:24,000
Speaker 2: So all the reviews and I edited out a lot

1038
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:27,400
Speaker 2: of reviews were pulled from Amazon's page for the Harry

1039
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 2: Potter Nimbus two thousand broomstick before it was removed and censored.

1040
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:33,320
Speaker 2: Good thing we had the forethought to make an archive

1041
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:36,759
Speaker 2: of the original page. Unbelievable, so funny. They're selling it

1042
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:40,240
Speaker 2: in sex stores and yes this if you're an adult

1043
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 2: and this peaks your interest, you can find these things

1044
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:45,800
Speaker 2: on eBay. Happy quidditching over there.

1045
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:51,160
