I'm gonna There's a couple of personal stories. 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:20.200 The one I'm going to ask you about offline because 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:21.480 I'm not sure if I were told it on the 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:24.400 main pot.

We have 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:38.800 not spoken in a couple of weeks, probably in a 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.600 couple weeks, maybe maybe a month, close to a month. 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:43.760 We haven't recorded in over a month. 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:47.240 Yeah, we are about so many to like because everyone 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:52.160 was closed for so long. Hello, how is your holidays wonderful? 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:58.519 And again I being in California during this time when 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:03.120 it's freezing cold everywhere else and Louisville, Kentucky has ten 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:06.440 inches of snow and all the it's like, uh, it's 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:10.519 just nice to be lazy through the holidays. I'll say 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:11.280 it like that. 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:15.639 Yes it is. Indeed, I do miss that. I do 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:20.120 miss that sweet time in between Christmas and New Year's 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.919 which is just like a do nothing dead week because 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.920 it with children, it doesn't really exist. 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:27.160 Yeah, it doesn't exist. 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.760 It's like it kind of exists. Like we put the 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:33.520 kids in camp one day and I just like sat 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:35.840 and read. I'd read for like, I don't know, five 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:36.560 hours straight. 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:37.160 What a joy? 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:40.520 What a jit? Uh joy? I sat in the couch 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.320 and I read for like five hours. And I really 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:47.120 that puts you in a like just zend out state 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:49.400 that is so pleasant. And I never do it. I 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:51.040 never do that. I would like to do that more, 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:51.600 I won't. 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:55.160 There's a great article on vox dot com that I 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.600 just read. I like Vox and they have good stuff, 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:01.000 and it was the key. There's always the clickbait articles 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.320 that men don't read. They're like, young men don't read 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.280 books anymore young and then this fox articles like why 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.880 do we keep saying this? This is not true? And 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:11.840 then they go through statistically and like the difference between 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.480 young women reading and young men reading is like four percent. 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:18.320 It's like it's just some dumb study that they're like, 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:22.359 these guys aren't reading, We've lost them. It is I treat. 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.280 It is a real treat. I do find how I 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.159 do see a lot of stand ups do a joke 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:31.520 about not reading and the audience really laughing a lot, 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:35.880 like really being like that's me. I hate books, Like 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:38.719 anti book comedy is big. 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:42.880 I will just say that, all right, well that's fine. 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.160 I guess they listen to podcasts, and I guess they 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:48.200 listen to ebooks and audible books, which is fine. That's 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:51.440 fine too. I count audibles as reading, even though it 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:56.520 is not the same relaxing, imaginative experience of sitting down 0:04:56.560 --> 0:05:01.520 and turning those pages. But then again, I'm old parts. 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.800 I know it just one more way that I'm out 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:05.320 of step. 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:10.800 It's a great joy. People like it was wonderful. I 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.240 went to Safie's last night. Have you been to Safie's. 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:16.560 It's the Mediterranean restaurant. It's directly next to the Scientology Center, 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:18.919 which is funny in its own way. You feel like, 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:21.200 is this are they tricking us in here to get 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:23.960 us over there. No, it's great food, but boy, that 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:29.560 is a Generation Z hot spot. And it just reminded 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:33.040 me of Brooklyn in the two thousands. It was just fun. 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:36.080 Speaking of the Scientology Center. We went and got ice 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:39.520 cream the other night, and we're walking back with the 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:42.520 ice cream and I just didn't even occur to me 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:44.599 that we were across the street from the Scientology Center. 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:48.479 And Olive looks over and she loves science, like she 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:51.840 loves science. She looks over and I just watched her 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:58.400 go science top. Well, well, well looks like somebody's found 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:03.440 the church for there. I'm I go, no, no, Noboddy, 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:07.760 oh sweetie, No, no, it's not science. It's not science based. 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:11.240 It's different. Don't don't don't go. 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:14.960 Oh my gosh, it's lovely. Even if you did mention it, 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:18.000 it's nice to know that Olive can read. And that's 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:20.400 something that you, as a father, should brag about early 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:25.560 and often and all the time. Folks, if you've never 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:28.919 heard bananas it's strange news. Kurt is a stand up 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.640 comedian actor writer. I'm a screenwriter, and then we tell 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:34.279 our own personal stories. Sometimes we have wonderful guests, but 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:37.240 on episodes like today's episode, it's just the banana boys 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.719 shaking our tail feathers and having a good time talking 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:45.400 about some headline like Kurtz that I did not understand 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:45.960 here it is. 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.440 It is a hard to understand one, but it's worth it. 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:54.720 Tokyo cancel Christmas Protest March canceled by revolutionary lines of 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:56.160 unpopular men? What does that mean? 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:56.800 Popular man? 0:06:56.920 --> 0:07:03.680 This was in Japan today. Obviously this was by Casey Basil, her. 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:05.039 Soul Japanese sounding name. 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:10.120 In Japan, the biggest Christmas celebrations actually take place on 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:13.720 Christmas Day now Christmas Eve. So on December twenty fourth, 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:16.480 Christmas lights were shining around Tokyo, with the sounds of 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:19.600 traditional Yule Tide music playing from shopping center speakers and 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:21.840 reblers happily heading to day some parties with Give six 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:25.320 TEMs in hand. However, there was something different about Christmas 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:28.960 Eve and Tokyo this year. Something was missing The annual 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:35.200 anti Christmas protest March held by the Revolutionary Alliance of 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:40.880 Unpopular Men. Traditionally, the group gathers every year in the 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:46.960 afternoon on December twenty fourth, carrying banners and chanting messages 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:52.120 of opposition to Christmas Great. Specifically, the organization takes issue 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:57.520 with Christmas Eve's status as the most romantic date night 0:07:57.600 --> 0:07:59.480 of the year, which is that must. 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:01.600 Be in pane that is here. 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:09.000 So yeah. However, it should be noted that the Japanese 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:12.480 term that makes up the unpopular part of the Revolutionary 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:17.400 Alliance of Unpopular Men's name himote, specifically refers to guys 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:20.480 who aren't popular with women, and so it's pretty clear 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:23.080 that the march isn't meant as a rally for those 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:25.400 who want to focus on the religious or broader humanitarian 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:27.680 aspects of the holidays, so much as a get together 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:31.000 for those who are frustrated about their dateless status. This 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:35.960 is so wild weird, yeah, strange, okay, stranger, yeah okay, 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:39.320 though not large or lengthy. 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:43.959 Yes, I think I found their problem twenty this is 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:44.679 why they're single. 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:48.840 The twenty twenty three march consisted of about fifteen people 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:51.840 that lasted roughly thirty minutes. 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:53.559 That's all right. 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:57.720 The marches have been consistent, taking place on an annual 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:01.200 basis since two thousand and seven. However, the group's slogan 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:05.360 of Crushed Christmas couldn't be heard on the Shiboya streets 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:09.280 this past Tuesday because the anti Christmas march was canceled, 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.400 as announced through a post from the Revolutionary Alliance of 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:16.320 Unpopular Men's Twitter account in December nineteenth. This doesn't mean 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:20.280 that the organization has necessarily softened its stance against Christmas, though. 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.520 It's just that while its members may be unpopular, they're 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:26.520 not unlawful, and they weren't able to file the paperwork 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:31.000 necessary for holding a protest march on public streets. The 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:35.760 announcement is the announcement reads announcement regarding this year's Crush 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:40.040 Christmas demonstration. Due to various circumstances, our representative was unable 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:43.440 to carry out the application process, so the demonstration has 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:47.920 been canceled. We sincerely, regretless and deeply apologied to apologize 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:50.760 to you comrades. So while it would be an amusing 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:54.839 I would be amusingly ironic if the Revolutionary Alliance So 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:56.920 Unpopular Men have been disbanded as a result of its 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.960 leaders finding dates for Christmas Eve. This appears to be mere 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:03.280 contemporary setback for their cause, and presumably their annual march 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:06.600 on Valentine's Day, another celebration They're not too keen on, 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.720 is still in the works for twenty twenty five. Yep, 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:14.160 that is to be a member of the of the 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:20.680 Revolutionary Alliance of Unpopular Men. I think is self defeating, right, 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:24.599 It kind of encourages you to stay in the Revolutionary 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:26.000 Alliance of Unpopular Men. 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:29.200 I agree. But also if those bozos are not out 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:31.600 going on dates, they can't get the application in a time. 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:32.600 It's like, what are you guys up to? 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.600 What are you guys doing? You guys? Yeah, you guys 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:37.960 want to protesting other things that everyone loves. 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:40.800 I know, maybe that's it. But also it's funny, like 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:44.479 what a great protest just to fill out an application 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:46.560 to have a protest, and then you don't do it, 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:50.320 so you don't protest. They're rule followers, and maybe that's 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:53.800 what they need to learn is some women enjoy the 0:10:53.880 --> 0:11:02.280 bad boy. Not all, but many do. Yeah, that's a fascinating. Yeah, 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.320 well one to protest Christmas is funny. I'm all for it. 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:07.560 I love Christmas. I went to La Zoo Lights this 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:10.480 year for the first time probably nine or ten years, 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:13.560 most incredible light show I've ever seen in my entire life. 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:15.120 What you got to go this year? 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:16.560 No, I did not go this year. 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.600 Well I don't know. Last year we went, but it 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:25.120 is so thorough and great I couldn't believe. I actually 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:26.480 could not believe how good it was. 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.400 Wow. I went to Disconso Gardens, so we either do 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:34.040 Disconso or we do Zoo Lights, and Disconso was very good. 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:36.600 They like revamped stuff and it was like very nice 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.560 this year. I like Disconso because it's more like everything's 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:42.079 dark all the time and so it's just like you're 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.600 in the woods and like things are lighting up, which is. 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.920 It is nice? That is nice. Yeah, it's nice when 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:50.160 you're in the woods and things start lighting up. That's 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:51.800 always a good time. 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:55.080 And it's slightly less animal jally, although I go it. 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:56.719 I'm a member of the Zoo. I go all there 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:58.400 all the time with the kids, just because it's like 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:00.640 easy to go to because I live door to it. 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:05.839 Yeah, and it's pretty year round here. Yeah, but that's cool. 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:10.400 I'm all for protesting, like also in small groups, protesting 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:14.440 something that is the majority really loves it's a very 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:16.640 funny thing. And then to add the layer that they're 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:20.400 really just bummed at being single, it's the most romantic. 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:22.240 And so it'd be like in the States at least 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:26.720 protesting Valentine's Day, right, that's yeah, and that's never I 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.120 mean that would be great too. If I was going 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.400 on a Valentine's Day date and there were a group 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.959 of men protesting, I would laugh. I would be like, you're. 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:38.520 Right, guys, the group go on that data and men 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:41.120 who were good at organizing. 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:45.480 It's fine, and they're horrible at organizing. It's also for 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:50.640 it took fifteen minutes. This is good. That's a great, polite, 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:54.640 nice story, Kurt. Do you think you know? You read 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:57.240 all these articles and stuff about how young people are 0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:00.880 like having a hard time meeting or can't find relationships 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:03.319 or aren't hooking up or aren't having sex. But when 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.800 you read those are they talking about the straits? Are 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:12.079 they talking about like straight people boring old school blooh, 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:15.040 just reguar old straight people having a hard time hooking up? 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:17.920 Are the lesbians out there just having a ball date 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:19.400 and left and right and seeing right? 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.120 I don't know all those stories like, no one's having 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:26.840 sex anymore? Yeah, no one straight? 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:28.959 Yeah are they? 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:32.880 I don't know. I like honestly, I I like all 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:36.640 those like trend pieces that I see constantly. I just 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.720 doubt every single one of them. I'm like, maybe is 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:41.880 this true? You know, like the thing like men aren't 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:43.520 reading it's four percent difference. 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:46.400 Yeah, it's like not true at all. And when I 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:51.000 was a young boy, MTV hired me to write a 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:57.280 in house scripted comedy video for all their employees to 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:00.559 learn about the millennials. And they had an in site 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:05.560 company that I think was called Insight, and they gave 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:08.360 me all the bullet points of the millennials and then 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:11.440 I had to work them all into scripts. So I 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:13.600 called it the Millennial World. It was like the real world, 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.079 and we cast I don't know six or sex. I 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:18.920 guess seven people's this is true story, seven young strangers. Yeah, 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:24.080 and and each represented a different millennial trait. And they 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:27.640 loved it, and they showed it in house and paid 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:29.760 me and then never showed it again. They showed it 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:32.560 one time and everybody's like, Okay, now we know the millennials, 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:33.280 it doesn't matter. 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:35.320 That's great. 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:38.200 They yeah, they were like Yeah, they liked to buy 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:40.640 plane tickets on their phones. It was stuff like that. 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:44.440 And you're like, okay, we could tell we know that's true. 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:47.840 They like a variety of flavors. You're like, they say 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:48.600 that about gen Z. 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:52.440 Too, Like, I also, I love it when millennials, like 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.760 I remember when like millennials were like they're the problem 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:59.600 in the workplace from Gen X people, and now you're 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:01.840 just seeing all of the millennial people would be like 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:05.160 gen Z or the problem in the workplace. It's like, no, 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:08.720 it's just that they're young and dumb. That's it. It's 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:12.720 not generational. It's young and dumb. They've not been working 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:15.520 for very long and so they don't know the rules. 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:19.800 And every twenty years there's just like this swath of 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:23.720 articles about like this new generation doesn't know how to 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:28.720 work at all. Yes, right, and it's so stupid and 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:31.560 it's nice and I'll say something bitter and I love 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:34.920 to say it, is that what's really delightful is watching 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:41.600 people who used to be very young get old where 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:43.560 they're just like, oh, they were like the hot shit 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:45.760 new young thing, and then you like watch them get 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:48.640 into their mid thirties. As a person who had already 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:52.960 gone through that, and you're like, yeah, it happens to everyone. 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:55.400 If the thing that you're hanging on to that defines 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:58.880 you is your youth, you're in. You're in for bad news. 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:01.600 It's not good last for anybody. 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:05.800 Nope. There's a very funny story about two young male 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:08.760 comics in LA who drunkenly and I think they were 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:12.520 a little enhands, yelling in front of a party of 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:15.600 their friends with each other which one was the next 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:21.080 James Dean, James both James Dean, not the modern porn 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:25.560 star or whatever, the former you know, Hollywood Heartthrob. And 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.520 my friend who witnessed it, they said everybody else was 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:32.040 laughing because these guys were legitimately yelling at each other 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:34.640 who was more likely to be the new James Dean 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:37.480 and my director Buddy Goes. You guys know he died 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:40.400 at like twenty five, right, And they were like, it 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:43.200 doesn't matter, And now they're both out of the business completely. 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:45.400 Now one of them is in show business asault. They 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:46.520 never made it. 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:48.560 Did I know them? 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:52.240 Yeah, but probably more by reputation than they were LA guys. 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:53.680 When we were in New York they were out here. 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:55.520 But when I met one of them. They were like, 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:58.600 don't even mess with that guy. They both think they're 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:01.440 James Dean and their career side. 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:05.280 It's such a weird reference point, you know, that's such 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:08.480 a like for comedians. I don't think any comedian wants 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:11.000 to be James Dean. That's so strange. 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:13.639 How old was James Dean when he died. Let's look 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:15.560 it up. We have a super right in front of us. 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:21.680 He died at a twenty four. I was close. Oh wow, 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:24.520 that is young young, It was young. 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:25.080 Wow. 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:29.640 His dad was named Winton and his mom was named Mildred. 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:35.359 Those are great nineteen hundred's names, Old Winton and Million Wint. 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:39.800 It's an educational podcast, and isn't it thinks? Now? You know, 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:41.879 when you go to your work function later at night, 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:44.439 or you know you're paying a babysitter so you can 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:45.800 go out to dinner, you go. Do you know James 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:47.320 Dean was only twenty four when he died. 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:47.720 Yeah? 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:48.439 You know what. 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:51.160 Also, it's very interesting too that, like so many people 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:54.680 who we consider to be iconic or anything like that, 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:57.800 are simply because they died before they had an opportunity 0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:00.600 to do like a raisin brand commercial, you know, like, 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:03.600 if Kurt Kobain had lived long enough, we'd see him 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:06.359 now like do stand up paddle boarding with Eddie Vedder, 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:08.719 you know, and we would be like, that dude sucks. 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:12.119 I've always said if Tupac was still alive, he'd be 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:16.560 hosting America's Got Talent, because look at Snoop Dogg. Snoop 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:21.680 Dogg is essentially more vanilla right now than almost everybody 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:24.800 on televi He I love Snoop. I got no promise 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:28.080 hereybody gets paid as much as you could get paid. 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:31.080 But there was a time where he was on murder 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:33.640 trial and I watched it on MTV when they found 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:35.840 him not guilty, and then he had the song Murder 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:37.440 was the case that they gave me, and it was like, 0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:42.160 now you're just like, look at this guy selling panos. Yeah, 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:45.760 he's hosting the Olympics, talking about tresash horses. He's like, 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:48.920 he's selling Snoop Dogg could be on a Maxi Pad 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:50.920 commercial and people be like, that's honestly fine. I like 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:54.399 that guy, So you can't tell me Tupac would not 0:18:54.800 --> 0:19:00.640 be doing you know, bounce dryer sheet commercials. 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:05.520 Tupac and Kirk Cobain on Dancing with the Stars. Got it? 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:07.280 I want it? I want it so bad. 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:14.760 Damn well, holograms are coming, so maybe bananam. Mark Kidsley 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:16.720 sent this in and it's so good he did. We 0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:18.320 got some This story a by a lot of people, 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:21.040 but he lives nearby. I'll talk about it more after 0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:23.159 the fact. But he's the perfect person to send this 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:27.960 in for us BBC. That's real, written by many. Consider 0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:32.560 this gent the best in the business. Harry Stevens wrote 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:33.000 this one. 0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:36.200 Harry Stevens better than Bald Stevens. 0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:41.800 Damn right. Why does a plate of bananas appear on 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:45.920 our street every week? That's the headline? 0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:48.080 That is I guess it's Harry's street. 0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:51.600 Yeah, Harry Stevens. He's just he's out there. He's a 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:52.359 man about town. 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:54.720 So I have not heard the name Harry in so 0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:57.879 long that I can't not hear it as Harry h 0:19:58.000 --> 0:19:58.760 A I. 0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:01.600 R y well right, Harry Stevens would be like a 0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:03.760 funny improv team name where they all have beards and 0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:06.639 long hair and they're all named Stephen.

But what do you 0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:40.679 do when you encounter a plate full of the fruit 0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:44.840 that says full of the fruit unpeeled. That is exactly 0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:47.880 what's been happening in the small nottingham Shire town and 0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:52.280 no one knows the reason behind this strange tradition here 0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:54.919 it is, this is so good. The mystery plate of 0:20:55.640 --> 0:21:00.400 peeled bananas appears on the second day of every month 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:03.400 on the corner of Abbey Road and Wendsor Avenue in Beeston, 0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:06.280 and residents say it has been a constant in their 0:21:06.320 --> 0:21:08.040 lives for more than a year. 0:21:08.000 --> 0:21:10.080 More than a year, every month or every. 0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:13.920 Week, excuse me, it was every month.

The bananas appear early in the morning 0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:29.760 on the second of the month.
