00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't exist.

59
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: It's like it kind of exists. Like we put the

60
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: kids in camp one day and I just like sat

61
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: and read. I'd read for like, I don't know, five

62
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: hours straight.

63
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: What a joy?

64
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: What a jit? Uh joy? I sat in the couch

65
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: and I read for like five hours. And I really

66
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: that puts you in a like just zend out state

67
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: that is so pleasant. And I never do it. I

68
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: never do that. I would like to do that more,

69
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: I won't.

70
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 2: There's a great article on vox dot com that I

71
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 2: just read. I like Vox and they have good stuff,

72
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: and it was the key. There's always the clickbait articles

73
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: that men don't read. They're like, young men don't read

74
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: books anymore young and then this fox articles like why

75
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 2: do we keep saying this? This is not true? And

76
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 2: then they go through statistically and like the difference between

77
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: young women reading and young men reading is like four percent.

78
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: It's like it's just some dumb study that they're like,

79
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 2: these guys aren't reading, We've lost them. It is I treat.

80
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: It is a real treat. I do find how I

81
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: do see a lot of stand ups do a joke

82
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: about not reading and the audience really laughing a lot,

83
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: like really being like that's me. I hate books, Like

84
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: anti book comedy is big.

85
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 2: I will just say that, all right, well that's fine.

86
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 2: I guess they listen to podcasts, and I guess they

87
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: listen to ebooks and audible books, which is fine. That's

88
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 2: fine too. I count audibles as reading, even though it

89
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: is not the same relaxing, imaginative experience of sitting down

90
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: and turning those pages. But then again, I'm old parts.

91
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: I know it just one more way that I'm out

92
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: of step.

93
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: It's a great joy. People like it was wonderful. I

94
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 2: went to Safie's last night. Have you been to Safie's.

95
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 2: It's the Mediterranean restaurant. It's directly next to the Scientology Center,

96
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 2: which is funny in its own way. You feel like,

97
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: is this are they tricking us in here to get

98
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 2: us over there. No, it's great food, but boy, that

99
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 2: is a Generation Z hot spot. And it just reminded

100
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 2: me of Brooklyn in the two thousands. It was just fun.

101
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Scientology Center. We went and got ice

102
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: cream the other night, and we're walking back with the

103
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: ice cream and I just didn't even occur to me

104
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: that we were across the street from the Scientology Center.

105
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: And Olive looks over and she loves science, like she

106
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: loves science. She looks over and I just watched her

107
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: go science top. Well, well, well looks like somebody's found

108
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: the church for there. I'm I go, no, no, Noboddy,

109
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: oh sweetie, No, no, it's not science. It's not science based.

110
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: It's different. Don't don't don't go.

111
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, it's lovely. Even if you did mention it,

112
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: it's nice to know that Olive can read. And that's

113
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 2: something that you, as a father, should brag about early

114
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 2: and often and all the time. Folks, if you've never

115
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 2: heard bananas it's strange news. Kurt is a stand up

116
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: comedian actor writer. I'm a screenwriter, and then we tell

117
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 2: our own personal stories. Sometimes we have wonderful guests, but

118
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 2: on episodes like today's episode, it's just the banana boys

119
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 2: shaking our tail feathers and having a good time talking

120
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 2: about some headline like Kurtz that I did not understand

121
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 2: here it is.

122
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: It is a hard to understand one, but it's worth it.

123
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: Tokyo cancel Christmas Protest March canceled by revolutionary lines of

124
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: unpopular men? What does that mean?

125
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 2: Popular man?

126
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: This was in Japan today. Obviously this was by Casey Basil, her.

127
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 2: Soul Japanese sounding name.

128
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: In Japan, the biggest Christmas celebrations actually take place on

129
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: Christmas Day now Christmas Eve. So on December twenty fourth,

130
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: Christmas lights were shining around Tokyo, with the sounds of

131
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: traditional Yule Tide music playing from shopping center speakers and

132
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: reblers happily heading to day some parties with Give six

133
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: TEMs in hand. However, there was something different about Christmas

134
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: Eve and Tokyo this year. Something was missing The annual

135
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: anti Christmas protest March held by the Revolutionary Alliance of

136
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: Unpopular Men. Traditionally, the group gathers every year in the

137
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: afternoon on December twenty fourth, carrying banners and chanting messages

138
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: of opposition to Christmas Great. Specifically, the organization takes issue

139
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: with Christmas Eve's status as the most romantic date night

140
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: of the year, which is that must.

141
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 2: Be in pane that is here.

142
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: So yeah. However, it should be noted that the Japanese

143
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: term that makes up the unpopular part of the Revolutionary

144
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: Alliance of Unpopular Men's name himote, specifically refers to guys

145
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: who aren't popular with women, and so it's pretty clear

146
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: that the march isn't meant as a rally for those

147
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: who want to focus on the religious or broader humanitarian

148
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: aspects of the holidays, so much as a get together

149
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: for those who are frustrated about their dateless status. This

150
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: is so wild weird, yeah, strange, okay, stranger, yeah okay,

151
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: though not large or lengthy.

152
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 2: Yes, I think I found their problem twenty this is

153
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 2: why they're single.

154
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: The twenty twenty three march consisted of about fifteen people

155
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: that lasted roughly thirty minutes.

156
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 2: That's all right.

157
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: The marches have been consistent, taking place on an annual

158
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: basis since two thousand and seven. However, the group's slogan

159
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: of Crushed Christmas couldn't be heard on the Shiboya streets

160
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: this past Tuesday because the anti Christmas march was canceled,

161
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: as announced through a post from the Revolutionary Alliance of

162
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: Unpopular Men's Twitter account in December nineteenth. This doesn't mean

163
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: that the organization has necessarily softened its stance against Christmas, though.

164
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: It's just that while its members may be unpopular, they're

165
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: not unlawful, and they weren't able to file the paperwork

166
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: necessary for holding a protest march on public streets. The

167
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: announcement is the announcement reads announcement regarding this year's Crush

168
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: Christmas demonstration. Due to various circumstances, our representative was unable

169
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: to carry out the application process, so the demonstration has

170
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: been canceled. We sincerely, regretless and deeply apologied to apologize

171
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: to you comrades. So while it would be an amusing

172
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 1: I would be amusingly ironic if the Revolutionary Alliance So

173
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: Unpopular Men have been disbanded as a result of its

174
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: leaders finding dates for Christmas Eve. This appears to be mere

175
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: contemporary setback for their cause, and presumably their annual march

176
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: on Valentine's Day, another celebration They're not too keen on,

177
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: is still in the works for twenty twenty five. Yep,

178
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: that is to be a member of the of the

179
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: Revolutionary Alliance of Unpopular Men. I think is self defeating, right,

180
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,599
Speaker 1: It kind of encourages you to stay in the Revolutionary

181
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: Alliance of Unpopular Men.

182
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 2: I agree. But also if those bozos are not out

183
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 2: going on dates, they can't get the application in a time.

184
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 2: It's like, what are you guys up to?

185
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: What are you guys doing? You guys? Yeah, you guys

186
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: want to protesting other things that everyone loves.

187
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 2: I know, maybe that's it. But also it's funny, like

188
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,479
Speaker 2: what a great protest just to fill out an application

189
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 2: to have a protest, and then you don't do it,

190
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 2: so you don't protest. They're rule followers, and maybe that's

191
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 2: what they need to learn is some women enjoy the

192
00:10:53,880 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 2: bad boy. Not all, but many do. Yeah, that's a fascinating. Yeah,

193
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 2: well one to protest Christmas is funny. I'm all for it.

194
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 2: I love Christmas. I went to La Zoo Lights this

195
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 2: year for the first time probably nine or ten years,

196
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 2: most incredible light show I've ever seen in my entire life.

197
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 2: What you got to go this year?

198
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: No, I did not go this year.

199
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 2: Well I don't know. Last year we went, but it

200
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 2: is so thorough and great I couldn't believe. I actually

201
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: could not believe how good it was.

202
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: Wow. I went to Disconso Gardens, so we either do

203
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: Disconso or we do Zoo Lights, and Disconso was very good.

204
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: They like revamped stuff and it was like very nice

205
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: this year. I like Disconso because it's more like everything's

206
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 1: dark all the time and so it's just like you're

207
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: in the woods and like things are lighting up, which is.

208
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 2: It is nice? That is nice. Yeah, it's nice when

209
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 2: you're in the woods and things start lighting up. That's

210
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 2: always a good time.

211
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: And it's slightly less animal jally, although I go it.

212
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,719
Speaker 1: I'm a member of the Zoo. I go all there

213
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: all the time with the kids, just because it's like

214
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: easy to go to because I live door to it.

215
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's pretty year round here. Yeah, but that's cool.

216
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 2: I'm all for protesting, like also in small groups, protesting

217
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 2: something that is the majority really loves it's a very

218
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 2: funny thing. And then to add the layer that they're

219
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 2: really just bummed at being single, it's the most romantic.

220
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 2: And so it'd be like in the States at least

221
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 2: protesting Valentine's Day, right, that's yeah, and that's never I

222
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 2: mean that would be great too. If I was going

223
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 2: on a Valentine's Day date and there were a group

224
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 2: of men protesting, I would laugh. I would be like, you're.

225
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 5: Right, guys, the group go on that data and men

226
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 5: who were good at organizing.

227
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 2: It's fine, and they're horrible at organizing. It's also for

228
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: it took fifteen minutes. This is good. That's a great, polite,

229
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 2: nice story, Kurt. Do you think you know? You read

230
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 2: all these articles and stuff about how young people are

231
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 2: like having a hard time meeting or can't find relationships

232
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 2: or aren't hooking up or aren't having sex. But when

233
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 2: you read those are they talking about the straits? Are

234
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 2: they talking about like straight people boring old school blooh,

235
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 2: just reguar old straight people having a hard time hooking up?

236
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 2: Are the lesbians out there just having a ball date

237
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 2: and left and right and seeing right?

238
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: I don't know all those stories like, no one's having

239
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: sex anymore? Yeah, no one straight?

240
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 2: Yeah are they?

241
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. I like honestly, I I like all

242
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: those like trend pieces that I see constantly. I just

243
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: doubt every single one of them. I'm like, maybe is

244
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: this true? You know, like the thing like men aren't

245
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: reading it's four percent difference.

246
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like not true at all. And when I

247
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 2: was a young boy, MTV hired me to write a

248
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 2: in house scripted comedy video for all their employees to

249
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 2: learn about the millennials. And they had an in site

250
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 2: company that I think was called Insight, and they gave

251
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 2: me all the bullet points of the millennials and then

252
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 2: I had to work them all into scripts. So I

253
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 2: called it the Millennial World. It was like the real world,

254
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 2: and we cast I don't know six or sex. I

255
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 2: guess seven people's this is true story, seven young strangers. Yeah,

256
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 2: and and each represented a different millennial trait. And they

257
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 2: loved it, and they showed it in house and paid

258
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 2: me and then never showed it again. They showed it

259
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 2: one time and everybody's like, Okay, now we know the millennials,

260
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter.

261
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: That's great.

262
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 2: They yeah, they were like Yeah, they liked to buy

263
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 2: plane tickets on their phones. It was stuff like that.

264
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 2: And you're like, okay, we could tell we know that's true.

265
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 2: They like a variety of flavors. You're like, they say

266
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 2: that about gen Z.

267
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: Too, Like, I also, I love it when millennials, like

268
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: I remember when like millennials were like they're the problem

269
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: in the workplace from Gen X people, and now you're

270
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: just seeing all of the millennial people would be like

271
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: gen Z or the problem in the workplace. It's like, no,

272
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: it's just that they're young and dumb. That's it. It's

273
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: not generational. It's young and dumb. They've not been working

274
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: for very long and so they don't know the rules.

275
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: And every twenty years there's just like this swath of

276
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: articles about like this new generation doesn't know how to

277
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: work at all. Yes, right, and it's so stupid and

278
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: it's nice and I'll say something bitter and I love

279
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: to say it, is that what's really delightful is watching

280
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: people who used to be very young get old where

281
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: they're just like, oh, they were like the hot shit

282
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: new young thing, and then you like watch them get

283
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: into their mid thirties. As a person who had already

284
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: gone through that, and you're like, yeah, it happens to everyone.

285
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: If the thing that you're hanging on to that defines

286
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: you is your youth, you're in. You're in for bad news.

287
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: It's not good last for anybody.

288
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 2: Nope. There's a very funny story about two young male

289
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 2: comics in LA who drunkenly and I think they were

290
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 2: a little enhands, yelling in front of a party of

291
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 2: their friends with each other which one was the next

292
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 2: James Dean, James both James Dean, not the modern porn

293
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 2: star or whatever, the former you know, Hollywood Heartthrob. And

294
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 2: my friend who witnessed it, they said everybody else was

295
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 2: laughing because these guys were legitimately yelling at each other

296
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 2: who was more likely to be the new James Dean

297
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 2: and my director Buddy Goes. You guys know he died

298
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 2: at like twenty five, right, And they were like, it

299
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 2: doesn't matter, And now they're both out of the business completely.

300
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 2: Now one of them is in show business asault. They

301
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 2: never made it.

302
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: Did I know them?

303
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, but probably more by reputation than they were LA guys.

304
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 2: When we were in New York they were out here.

305
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 2: But when I met one of them. They were like,

306
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 2: don't even mess with that guy. They both think they're

307
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 2: James Dean and their career side.

308
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: It's such a weird reference point, you know, that's such

309
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: a like for comedians. I don't think any comedian wants

310
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: to be James Dean. That's so strange.

311
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 2: How old was James Dean when he died. Let's look

312
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 2: it up. We have a super right in front of us.

00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 2: He died at a twenty four. I was close. Oh wow,

314
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 2: that is young young, It was young.

315
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: Wow.

316
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 2: His dad was named Winton and his mom was named Mildred.

317
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 2: Those are great nineteen hundred's names, Old Winton and Million Wint.

318
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 2: It's an educational podcast, and isn't it thinks? Now? You know,

319
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 2: when you go to your work function later at night,

320
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 2: or you know you're paying a babysitter so you can

321
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 2: go out to dinner, you go. Do you know James

322
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 2: Dean was only twenty four when he died.

323
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: Yeah?

324
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 2: You know what.

325
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: Also, it's very interesting too that, like so many people

326
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: who we consider to be iconic or anything like that,

327
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: are simply because they died before they had an opportunity

328
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: to do like a raisin brand commercial, you know, like,

329
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: if Kurt Kobain had lived long enough, we'd see him

330
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: now like do stand up paddle boarding with Eddie Vedder,

331
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,719
Speaker 1: you know, and we would be like, that dude sucks.

332
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 2: I've always said if Tupac was still alive, he'd be

333
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 2: hosting America's Got Talent, because look at Snoop Dogg. Snoop

334
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 2: Dogg is essentially more vanilla right now than almost everybody

335
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 2: on televi He I love Snoop. I got no promise

336
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 2: hereybody gets paid as much as you could get paid.

337
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 2: But there was a time where he was on murder

338
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 2: trial and I watched it on MTV when they found

339
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 2: him not guilty, and then he had the song Murder

00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 2: was the case that they gave me, and it was like,

356
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:33,000

00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 2: our street every week? That's the headline?

360
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: That is I guess it's Harry's street.

361
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, Harry Stevens. He's just he's out there. He's a

00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 2: man about town.

00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 2: Harry Stevens. Actually, it's shocking, that's shocking. That doesn't exist.

370
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 2: It's like the family, big black car Neutrino.

371
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: Harry Stevens.

372
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 2: Harry Stevens. It's just six guys named steven and they

373
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 2: all have really long beards. They kind of look like

374
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 2: zeezy top. Cartoons and comedy shows have taught us to

375
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 2: avoid banana skins as a slip and fall hazard see

376
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 2: Harry just as connecting on a deeply personal level for

377
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 2: anybody born in the nineteen sixties. But what do you

378
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 2: do when you encounter a plate full of the fruit

379
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 2: that says full of the fruit unpeeled. That is exactly

380
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 2: what's been happening in the small nottingham Shire town and

381
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 2: no one knows the reason behind this strange tradition here

382
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 2: it is, this is so good. The mystery plate of

383
00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 2: peeled bananas appears on the second day of every month

384
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 2: on the corner of Abbey Road and Wendsor Avenue in Beeston,

385
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 2: and residents say it has been a constant in their

386
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 2: lives for more than a year.

387
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: More than a year, every month or every.

388
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 2: Week, excuse me, it was every month. Okay, second day

389
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 2: of every month on the corner.

390
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: Second day it's every Oh wow, okay.

391
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 2: I've asked around in the local community, but no one

392
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 2: really knows, and no one can tell me anything, said

393
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 2: resident Claire Short. The bananas appear early in the morning

394
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 2: on the second of the month. I see them on

395
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 2: my way to work, and I'd love to have some

396
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 2: answers to this. The bananas have propped it. This is

397
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 2: just a plate of bananas. There's a photo of it.

398
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 2: And the reason I said that it's so important that

399
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 2: Mark Kinsley, the kids Ley the bananimal, who said it

400
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,479
Speaker 2: is He is a photographer and he lives nearby. And

401
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 2: he said he's going to investigate forest further. And I said,

402
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 2: send us a pick of those bananas when you go.

403
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: Okay.

404
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 2: So Mark is a bananamal in the wild for us

405
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 2: in Beston or nearby Beaston's a cute name. Yeah, Banana

406
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 2: the bananas. The bananas have prompted a mixed reaction, and

407
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 2: some neighbors saying the bananas go moldy in their street.

408
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 2: Does not look appealing anymore. Harry Stevens. Miss Short tried

409
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 2: to try to take the matter into her own hands.

410
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 2: She put up a sign where the plate is to

411
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 2: deter the yellow fruit being left there again. On January second, however,

412
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 2: another plate of peeled bananas appeared in the usual spot.

413
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 2: I've come to take down the signs because I don't

414
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 2: really feel like making it a feud. I don't want

415
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 2: it to become a big thing, she said, But it

416
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 2: already is.

417
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 3: It's so once you made the sign, it became a thing. Yeah,

418
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 3: now you know you're now you're somebody knows. It's pissing

419
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 3: people off, and they're only going to want to do

420
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 3: it more.

421
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: They're very excited now.

422
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 2: And then the genius move is take a month off

423
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 2: and then come right back and do it the next

424
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 2: month so everything's it's over, and then just come back

425
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 2: with two plates of peel bananas on the corner of

426
00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:00,160
Speaker 2: Abbey and wherever wendsor Avenue in peace bananas.

427
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: They're just the so there's no peel, there's no it's

428
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: just naked banana, dripped.

429
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 2: Down stack bananas on.

430
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: A plate like a bunch of hot dogs.

431
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 2: I think it's a special thing for someone, and I

432
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 2: wish them well. But if if they could come back

433
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 2: and clean up the mess a few days later, that

434
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:17,199
Speaker 2: would be lovely.

435
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: That's a nice special thing for somebody.

436
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 2: I'm going to keep an eye on it and keep

437
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 2: cleaning up the mess. So this poor woman, Miss short

438
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 2: just keeps doing it. It's gross. Other neighbors say. Other

439
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 2: neighbors would rather see the banana's gone for good. I

440
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 2: live nearby and they're very regularly here, said twenty six

441
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 2: year old Josh Trentam. They are very annoying. I have

442
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 2: no idea why they're here. Just one plate of bananas

443
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 2: driving this tower. Bananas per month, one place per month.

444
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 2: Jill Dowling, another wonderfully British name, added, it's so strange

445
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 2: and disgusting. Someone puts it there and I don't like it.

446
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 2: Resident Janet Hutchinson eighty one as young. She says, the

447
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 2: bananas are clearly just bought, and the wildlife doesn't touch them.

448
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 2: They go moldy. It's gross. Adam Castle, another puzzled resident,

449
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 2: wonder if the gesture was perhaps a custom somewhere else.

450
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 2: Adam said, what is this thing? I don't know if

451
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 2: it's a cultural thing or what. It's strange. I've never

452
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 2: heard or seen anything anywhere else where I've lived like this.

453
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 1: I hope Harry Stevens speaks to every single human on

454
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: this block.

455
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 2: We're gonna be at.

456
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: Least in half of the people who live there bananimals.

457
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 2: Kurt and I encourage you in twenty twenty five to

458
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 2: find your plate of peeled bananas. Let us know what

459
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 2: it is. Don't hurt anybody, don't destroy anybody's property, but

460
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 2: publicly start something new just for the sake of being

461
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 2: as silly as you can. We won't tell anybody about it,

462
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 2: your secret weird thing, but we would love love to

463
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 2: hear about it. Right, Yeah, this is your year. This

464
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 2: is your moment to figure out what is your peeled

465
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 2: play of bananas in your small town that will drive

466
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 2: everybody nuts, but get them talking about something else besides

467
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 2: twenty four hour news coverage exactly.

468
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I think on our first episode we had

469
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 1: mashed potatoes being left all across town. Seeing people like

470
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: to do. The fact that this is the fact that

471
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: I am also aware of the weird trends of strangeness

472
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: that human beings like to partake in, is also like,

473
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: oh yeah, that that's pretty common.

474
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 2: It happens, but it's nice. I think, Yeah, this is

475
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 2: just the world is boring and repetitive, and it takes

476
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 2: so little to get people just talking, just gabbing it up.

477
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 2: You don't think the local pubs in that town are

478
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 2: having a field day, Yeah, speculating, And then you're looking

479
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 2: at your neighbors a little different. You're wondering, you're watching

480
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 2: people at grocery stores. Is this person buying one banana

481
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 2: a time to get sneaky or are they buying a

482
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 2: bunch of pm me, it's wonderful. It's a wonderful dumb

483
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,479
Speaker 2: and it's not us. By the way I'm saying all this,

484
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 2: Kurt and I are not responsible for this, and there's

485
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 2: not a been animal we're in contact with doing it,

486
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 2: though I do somehow wish we were.

487
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: I really do. It's a great marketing idea.

488
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 2: It's fine with me. Sure it's a little bit of

489
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 2: food waste. Sure, sure the flies like it.

490
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, makes more.

491
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:30,719
Speaker 2: Animal will eat it. Mold exists, that's an animal or no,

492
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 2: it might be, but mold likes it.

493
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: Is it not an animal?

494
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 2: It's a fungus. It's a plant, right.

495
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. Also, I think that those maybe those

496
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 1: those like elementary school designations like plant animal is maybe

497
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: it's a plant animal.

498
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 2: Fungi is neither plant nor animal. They have their own

499
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 2: kingdom and biology.

500
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 1: What's the kingdom? What's the kingdom?

501
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 2: Funk guy I guess, no, mold is a plant. Let's see. Nope,

502
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 2: what mold is not a plant? We got to find

503
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 2: its kingdom. This is huge. This is gonna make or

504
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 2: break the entire podcast. We've got to find this kingdom.

505
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 2: What kingdom is mold?

506
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: What kingdom does mold rule?

507
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 2: Does mold rule? I'm actually typing that they're in the

508
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 2: fungi kingdom, which incleads ye, mold smut?

509
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: What what's a smut?

510
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 2: I've been living my whole life without, which includes yeast, mold, smuts,

511
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 2: and mushrooms.

512
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:39,760

Speaker 1: What is a smut of grains in which part of

00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: the ear changed to black powder? I've seen that, I've

516
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: seen that on a on corn. Yes, but smutt?

517
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 2: How did smut then become like pornography? That's a I

518
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 2: love that. I'd never heard of smuts before. I guess

519
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 2: I'm not a hazy.

520
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: The craziest part is that when I pull up smut

521
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: as a definition on Google, the only two are the

522
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: fungal disease and a small flake of spot or other dirt,

523
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: And it doesn't say like dirty. Yeah, yeah, that's crazy.

524
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 2: I thought smut was like a really like low brow,

525
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 2: pedestrian term for pornography. But it turns out it's just

526
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 2: rocking that fung guy kingdom with mold, yeast, mushrooms and.

527
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,200

558
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 2: Thankfully he didn't get it. Todd the Bob did not

564
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 2: a medal when he's done me mature, But this adventure

565

Speaker 2: and animal, congratulations. Miquel thumbs up, and then Brandy says

589
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 2: giant thumbs way way up to my brother in law,

590
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 2: doctor Markham and as I see you partner, doctor Trosclare

591
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 2: for literally saving my husband's life yesterday January first, twenty

592
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 2: twenty five. My husband, a career firefighter and paramedic, had

593
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,479
Speaker 2: to be transported to a rural hospital er for sudden

594
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 2: onset illness. Staff were great, but stumped they could not

595
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 2: They said they might need to intubate him and take

596
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 2: him into the ICU. I called Cory, my brother in law,

597
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 2: and told him the limited amount of information I had,

598
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 2: and he said, tell them to call her hospital. We

599
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 2: will accept him. He arrived to a higher level of

600
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 2: care in the hospital within four hours of entering the

601
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 2: r practically lightning speed for how long those things can take,

602
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 2: which is true. When my husband arrived, my brother in

603
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 2: law thought he might die eminently.

604
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: Oh my god, this is nuts.

605
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 2: With rapid intervention and marveus medical minds, they diagnosed him

606
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 2: with a very rare complication from a medication he was on. Later,

607
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 2: I was told that if he had been intubated at

608
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 2: the rural hospital, he likely would have died. Once I

609
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 2: know this is this is amazing. This is a good

610
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 2: thumbs up to go out because this is life or death. Yeah,

611
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 2: they're all important, but sometimes I feel like I chewed

612
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 2: nine pieces of gum today. That's a personal record, like

613
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 2: thumbs up. We love you, But this so Brandy says.

614
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 2: Once I was able to process the shock of almost

615
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 2: I'm a widow at forty three. I put on bananas

616
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 2: and have been listening to bring a smile on my

617
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 2: face in this impossible time. You guys have been my

618
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 2: lifeline onward and upward and hoping for a happier year.

619
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 2: Brandy Shmandy thumbs up to those doctors, doctor Markham and

620
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 2: doctor Troussclaire thumbs up to the husband for surviving and

621

638
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 1: old German shepherd named Athena, was lost on the fifteenth

639
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 1: of December, which prompted a frantic search. People all the

640
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: way from Jacksonville and Saint Augustine were like, inboxing me

641
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: inboxing me? Is that what people say instead of emailing?

642
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: Now they were inboxing me.

643
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 2: If I'm a'll adjust, I'll make the adjustment.

644
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: Can tell me, comer said Athenas two am. Return woke up.

645
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: Her family tried not to wake up the kids, but

646
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: the kids woke up anyways from the excitement. Oh my god,

647
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: imagine that. You know, Christmas came early, Christmas Eve, events

648
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: are happening near the tree. You know. I'm not gonna

649
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: say specifically what. I don't know who's listening. And then

650
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: the dog wakes every all the kids up. Holy shit,

651
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: that would be that's a that if kids woke up

652
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: at two thirty in the morning because came home, they're

653
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: just up. You're done, You're tough.

654
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 2: But it's so it's so fun. I mean that is

655
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 2: also like there's a good lesson in not giving up hope, yep,

656
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 2: but my goodness, gracious, that's crazy.

657
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is fine.

658
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 2: My sister's dog got away and was on the loose

659
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 2: for nineteen days in Maryland, and that you have to

660
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 2: hire these dog trackers. I don't know if I ever

661
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 2: talked about this in the pot, but dog got out,

662
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:35,720
Speaker 2: got startled, ran away. They live in North Baltimore. There's highways,

663
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 2: there's Beltway, you know, they called the Beltway.

664
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 1: There.

665
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 2: There's tons of houses, roads and people, and people kept

666
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 2: spotting this dog and so they knew it was alive.

667
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,240
Speaker 2: And so what happens after a certain amount of times

668
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 2: with dogs in the wild, when they're scared enough, they

669
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 2: actually go faral like they call the wild gets back

670
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 2: into them. Oh wow. And so they're in survival mode

671
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:03,240
Speaker 2: and they left out food, you lift out liquid, smoke,

672
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 2: you do all these things to kind of attract dog

673
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 2: certain areas. But people were like, I saw your dog, Yeah,

674
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 2: you know the stuff I just for like why.

675
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: That would smoke? Dogs love liquids.

676
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 2: I think it draws them in. I think it's like

677
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 2: a human food smell.

678
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: Oh okay, So they hired this dude.

679
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 2: My parents were involved, my uncles were involved. I mean

680
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 2: everybody's driving around, and they figured out the dog was

681
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 2: using tunnels water river tunnels to go underneath the highway,

682
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 2: so he was crossing into different neighborhoods going under six

683
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:34,720
Speaker 2: ninety five. And my sister saw him by the river side.

684
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 2: And this dog is so obsessed with my sister it's nuts,

685
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 2: I mean absolutely obsessed. Big dog, like eighty ninety pound

686
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 2: Great Pyrenees dog huge, So it's not like a little

687
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 2: guy that they knew this dog wasn't going to get

688
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 2: like eaten by a fox, yeah, but could get hit

689
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 2: by a car so easily. They were worried sick. My

690
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 2: nephews are worried sick. So my sister sees the dog.

691
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 2: She's like searching on the places where she knows he

692
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 2: likes to be out on the Gunpowder River or whatever.

693
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 2: And the dog doesn't recognize my sister. That's how wild

694
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 2: it had gotten. So she's she's like cawing it.

695
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:07,879
Speaker 1: We had the dog been gone.

696
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,399
Speaker 2: So that point maybe a week to ten days, maybe

697
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 2: a little longer wow, but ultimately it was gone nineteen days.

698
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,399
Speaker 2: And so people are driving around and like I think

699
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 2: like a FedEx light was like I remember that dog.

700
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 2: I saw that dog walking down the sidewalk, like people

701
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 2: are looking for this cowprint pyrenees, and finally someone spotted it.

702
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 2: My brother in law drives over and the woman's like,

703
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 2: it was pawing at our door, and he goes, Okay,

704
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 2: do you mind if I look around. They're like, no,

705
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 2: that's fine, and he goes around the back of their

706
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,280
Speaker 2: house and looks under their deck and there's the dog,

707
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 2: and he like, you know, as a treat or food

708
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 2: or whatever, and he like kneels down and softly calls

709
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,959
Speaker 2: the dog over. He's like, astro, come here, come here.

710
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 2: The dog comes over, he clicks the leash on his collar,

711
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 2: and it was over. And as soon as they got

712
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 2: it home, the dog was like it never left. Nineteen

713
00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 2: days on the run. Oh my Baltimore Man Magazine wrote

714
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 2: I think it was. Baltimore Magazine wrote an entire article

715
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 2: on it. I'll have to look that up. Maybe i'll

716
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 2: do that one sometime. But there's a dude named Bob Swenson.

717
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 2: And when your dog goes missing, you call this guy

718
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 2: and he helps you track it and lure it back in.

719
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 2: Because at a certain point, even domesticated family pets are

720
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 2: certain survival mode, and it's like every person is scary

721
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 2: to them. They're drinking out of rivers and puddles. And

722
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 2: they got it back and they said it was exhausted.

723
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 2: They got it home and like smelled everybody wagon it's sale,

724
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 2: laid down, fell asleep, and then it's never been different.

725
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 2: But it was like nineteen stressful days. So so to

726
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 2: your point, if that dog, if Astra had come up

727
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 2: and wrung the doorbell exactly, they would have burst into tears.

728
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 2: They would have exploded into tears.

729
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 1: Does your dog want to run away? Like, does it

730
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: try to run if the door's open or anything.

731
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 2: No, he stays closed.

732
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:53,919
Speaker 1: My dog either like I once left, or the kid

733
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 1: Like I walked out, the kids were behind me. I'm

734
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 1: sure stupidly assumed that a child would close the front

735
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: or they did it. We drove to school. I was

736
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,720
Speaker 1: gone for thirty minutes. I came back front door wide open,

737
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: and Zelda is just sitting there, just waiting for me

738
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 1: to come back in. She wasn't even in the front yard,

739
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: she was in the house.

740
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's I think once dogs are set,

741
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 2: it's not surprising to me. But if they get spooked,

742
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 2: I mean that's what happens. And you know if a

743
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 2: dog gets scared or startled and just bolts geeze. I

744
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 2: mean but I when you know, at the cabin at

745
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 2: my old place. Definitely once and I think twice, but

746
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 2: definitely one time Punk came over in the morning. My

747
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 2: back door was open. Punk's walking around. I didn't I

748
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 2: get ready. I go to a picture, an interview or whatever,

749
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 2: and then I realized halfway there that that cat was

750
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 2: still in my house and it's not my cat, and

751
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 2: I was gonna be gone for like eight hours. So

752
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 2: then you have the thing where you're like, well, man,

753
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 2: is the toilet open so it can drink water?

754
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:52,479
Speaker 1: Yeah?

755
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 2: How fast? Who has my like? Who can go over

756
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 2: my house? Where's my high to key? All that kind

757
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,439
Speaker 2: of thing. And I eventually I did the pitch back.

758
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 2: There was Punk just sitting on the sofa, just like

759
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 2: he owned the joint, just like you lived there. Didn't

760
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,760
Speaker 2: seem bother at all. And I think when they're comfy,

761
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 2: if they feel secure, they'll just stay put.

762
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: Man, while you were telling that story, the wind blew

763
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: a ladder over and it just ripped down all the

764
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: nice lights that I have have put on Sturt them.

765
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 2: Oh no, well are they replaceable?

766
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I guess so. In La today there's supposed

767
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 1: to be wind gusts up to eighty miles an hour. Yeah,

768
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: it's is really crazy.

769
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 2: I know they're shutting off power all over the city. Yeah,

770
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 2: because they don't want the wind to spark fires from

771
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 2: blowing over power lines. And you're like, yeah, that's good,

772
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 2: let's not do that. Yeah, but you know we have

773
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 2: drones flying over. It's fine, everything's great.

774
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, a thousand drones. Scottie keeps sending me videos of

775
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 1: just ten drones in the sky over.

776
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:01,439
Speaker 2: Near his house every I mean night, but some nights

777
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 2: they're like six or more. Information like, yeah, they are drones,

778
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 2: these are not helicopters. And I just sit there and

779
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 2: you kind of get to the place which might be

780
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 2: the strategy of whoever's flying them where Now I'm like

781
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 2: I don't care. Yeah, and I should, we all should,

782
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 2: I guess, but I'm like, I truly don't care, Like,

783
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 2: just just either tell me what they're doing. But I

784
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 2: have now started I've chosen to ignore them.

785
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 1: They're soon just going to be like cars where you're

786
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: just like you're not being like, what is that car?

787
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: Doing driving down the street. You're just like, yeah, there's

788
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: a car over there, it drives down the street. That's

789
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 1: some cars do. They're just gonna be everywhere.

790
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 2: Did you see that decency?

791
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: Did you watch the Golden Globes?

792
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 2: I did it. I only watched the clips of Nikki

793
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 2: Glazer doing great. I thought she killed clips. I saw

794
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 2: she looked amazing. Yeah she did.

795
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: She's really I mean like and you could tell she

796
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 1: worked really hard. I knew a bunch of the writers

797
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: on that, but yeah, she did a really great job.

798
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: But one of the the you know, they did the

799
00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: Golden Globe for Best Comedy Special, and Adam Sandler's knew.

800
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 1: I didn't even know he had a new stand up

801
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: special out. I loved his first one. But the joke

802
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: that they clipped out to show about it is just

803
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: during the show, he puts the spotlight on one white

804
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:18,720
Speaker 1: guy in the audience and and Adam Taylor singing guy

805
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: with a drone at the beach making everybody uncomfortable.

806
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and he is.

807
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 1: And it was like the only clip of a stand

808
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: up special that got a laugh on its own. All

809
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 1: the other clips were just like, you know, it's hard

810
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: to clip a five second piece from a stand up special.

811
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,720
Speaker 2: Right, because it's momentum. It's a show that you're building

812
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 2: towards things. Yeah, yeah, I thought Nikki did great. She

813
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:45,839
Speaker 2: is really on her way. I mean yeah, she talked

814
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:51,479
Speaker 2: about somebody earned it, no kidding, she earned it. Here's

815
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 2: a fun one.

816
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: Send us home, Scottie.

817
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:55,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, how much time do we haven't?

818
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: Seven minutes?

819
00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 2: Seven minutes? Natalie Hibbs sent this beauty, and thank you.

820
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:07,239

821
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 2: Madonna in Steakhouse and Sanley Obispo, but their identities remain

822
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 2: a mystery.

823
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: Oh I'm interested to hear how this happens.

824
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 2: Well, Google is after the fact, Kurt, because when you

825
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 2: see these are two teenagers and they have like masks on,

826
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 2: but they have like hoodies. These are two teenagers that

827
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 2: thought it would be funny to steal a rug and

828
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 2: then realize they're probably going to get in trouble and

829
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 2: then return it. And it's so suburban, like slow San

830
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 2: louy Obispo is so beautiful. I love it up there.

831
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,959
Speaker 2: I love the Madonna in Yeah, but it's like I

832
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:41,280
Speaker 2: can see myself in the not smartphone, not ring cameras

833
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 2: on everything Era. Having done this exact thing, like a

834
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 2: crime you think is cool and then you are a

835
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 2: good kid and you regret it and you take it

836
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 2: back just so it goes away. Instead we talked to

837
00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 2: it to hundreds of thousands of strangers. A rug that

00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 2: about an eight hour drive. We could go half away.

888
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 2: Maybe we do that. Let's go to Reno in twenty

889
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:38,040

891
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 2: on Monday, over two weeks after the theft, the hotel

892
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 2: received a package in the mail containing the.

893
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:49,680

896
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 2: in Reno. I think they were probably driving by goofing

897
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 2: off and they're the I mean, who knows. Also, gold

898
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 2: Rush Steakhouse is incredible. If you've never been to the

899
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 2: Madonna In. It's a wonderful place. A lot of our

900
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,839
Speaker 2: peers have gotten married there because it is the most

901
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 2: over the top hotel I've ever been to. It's one

Speaker 2: hundred and something rooms, one hundred and ten rooms, one

903
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,760
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty rooms, and every single one is decorated differently.

904
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: Every single one.

905
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 2: They have a theme. So some are clown rooms, some.

906
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: Are cave rooms like carooms.

907
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's five or six waterfall rooms where the shower

908
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 2: is a rock structure that pours water on you like

909
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 2: a waterfall. I stayed at one called rock Bottom, which

910
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:37,800
Speaker 2: is very At that point in my life, that probably

911
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 2: was the right place for me to be staying. I

912
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 2: also stayed one and Tall and Short. That's a really

913
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 2: good room. If you're going to reserve one, stay in

914
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:46,479
Speaker 2: the Tall and Short room. It's really fun.

915
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 1: What's tall and short about it?

916
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 2: It's nothing, I mean, that's the funny. It's the color.

917
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 2: The color scheme in there is beautiful. It's a balcony room,

918
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 2: which is nice, but there it's a great place. If

919
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 2: you're ever on a road trip in California, go to

920
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,160

Speaker 2: they have a breakfast thing. They have vented shopping upstairs,

923
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 2: and they have pools. But it is just one of

924
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 2: the strangest. It's amazing. It's rooms. There's nothing better. It's

925
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 2: romantic in its own way. I went there, God, I

926
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 2: mean to talk about Windy Day. I went there like

927

Speaker 2: the Madonna In there are horse pastures. I don't know

929
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 2: if they're connected to the Madonna In, but they're definitely

930
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 2: horse farm nearby, and I thought, you know, I'm gonna

931
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 2: go commune with nature, take a little walk, say hi

932
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 2: to these horses. I love you love a horse.

933
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:50,359
Speaker 1: Doesn't love a horse. I don't understand them, But either

934
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 1: I don't understand the deep connection they have with other

935
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:57,240
Speaker 1: with human beings, because every time I interact with a horse,

936
00:48:57,280 --> 00:49:00,400
Speaker 1: it's very much like you're kind of like a bird.

937
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 1: You don't really seem to make a connection. But that's me.

938
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 1: I don't. Also, I'm not I'm not combing them. I

939
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: guess you got a comba horse to really get on

940
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:12,240
Speaker 1: its good side.

941
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 2: They got Tickelet's chin a little bit, give a little nose,

942
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,319
Speaker 2: a little scratch on the nose. But yeah, some people

943
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 2: are confident around horses. I'm still pretty terrified of them overall.

944
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 2: I feel like, even when I'm riding them, I'm like, well,

945
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 2: I could die at any moment, and this would be

946
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 2: a horrible way to go. But I go over there.

947
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 2: There's like four or five horses in the field. They're

948
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 2: real pretty, and I'm picking all this long grass. I'm

949
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:34,359
Speaker 2: picking the best grass outside of the pen I can

950
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,800
Speaker 2: get because i really want to show these horses a treat.

951
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 2: They're probably one hundred two hundred yards away from me,

952
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 2: and so I hold up this sampful of just green,

953
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 2: long grass that probably i'd been cut since the mid eighties,

954
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 2: and I'm like, you know, calling over, you know, like

955
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 2: hey horse, and like clack. I'm just making noises, you know,

956
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 2: like slapping my chest doing all this stuff, and they

957
00:49:55,320 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 2: start coming over. Three horses walk over, okay, and they

958
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 2: get over to me. And every time I go to feed,

959
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 2: if the wind is so windy, it's blowing the grass

960
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 2: out of my hand because I'm holding my palm flat

961
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:09,479
Speaker 2: like they teach you when your little kids. The horse

962
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:12,280
Speaker 2: doesn't chomp. So these horses are getting like one blade

963
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 2: of grass, and I don't know what sound horses make

964
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:17,799
Speaker 2: when they're angry. I'm not a horse guy, I'm not

965
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 2: an eck Wine studies major. But one of them is grunting,

966
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:25,840
Speaker 2: and so my communing with nature was me pretending to

967
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 2: feed horses. I'm running around grabbing more grass, trying to

968
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:30,800
Speaker 2: be cool. I'm holding it different. It just keeps blowing away.

969
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 2: One horse just walks away. One horse is like the

970
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 2: old sage was like I've seen this came before. This

971
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:40,879
Speaker 2: is like the three Cardmonte equivalent for horses. The other

972
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 2: one was so sweet. I think it was like a mayor.

973
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 2: I'm trying to like feed this, and then there's a

974
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,400
Speaker 2: grunting horse that I just gave up and walked away.

975
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 5: And from that horse's perspective, some asshole just waves grass

976
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 5: at them, the horse horse, and then just keeps letting

977
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 5: grass blow away from them without ever feeding them, and

978
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,800
Speaker 5: then just lightly hurries away without looking back.

979
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 2: So ashamed. The next person that probably tried to saddle

980
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:10,879
Speaker 2: that horse probably got bucked so far into the air.

981
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 1: But I tried to commune.

982
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like to commune with nature.

983
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 1: You did it. Congratulate nature, that horse and grass next

984
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: time you're at the Madonna and give it.

985
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 2: A big old carrot.

986
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 1: All right, thank you for listening to the Bananas Podcast, folks.

989
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:38,000

990
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 2: their enemies their loved ones about bananas. Word of mouth

991
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:44,360
