19
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 2: No, we're not fool.

20
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: We're just we're not fools.

21
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 3: We're not playing as the Titanic sinks.

22
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 2: No, we're getting drunk.

23
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: Well the Titanic sinks definitely.

24
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: Well, the my favorite murder cover of the chef that

25
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 2: survived it. Yeah, yeah, he was drunk on whiskey and

26
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 2: that's why he made it.

27
00:01:55,400 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 4: And you're like, drunk, he rode he railing, He rode

28
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 4: the railing down and then survived in twenty eight degree

29
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 4: seas for like seven hours and did die because he

30
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 4: was wasted on whiskey.

31
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,679
Speaker 2: He hit the good stuff. And there's a lesson in that.

32
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: When there's ships going down, hit the whiskey and steap

33
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 2: be the last one off the boat. That's probably the

34
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: actual lesson. Yeah, Also, how strange must that have been?

35
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: Like you and I grew up in the four decades

36
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 2: for yeah, the four decades where everything imaginable has been

37
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 2: seen in TV, movies and internet. Yeah, we've seen so

38
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 2: many boats sink, planes explode, you name it, we've seen it.

39
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 2: Back then, that guy had no idea what a boat

40
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 2: sinking looked like. He just had to experience the real

41
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 2: thing in real time.

42
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: Brand new experience, brand new.

43
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 2: So that's even scarier in some ways, because you know life,

44
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: sometimes you'll see like a car crash or something and

45
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 2: you'll like have to snap out of it because it's

46
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: like watching a movie. Not that guy.

47
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 3: No, and it's just gonna get crazier, Scotty.

48
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: I want to tell you.

49
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 3: Today, honestly, is the first day, okay, is the first

50
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 3: day in six and a half weeks. Wow, that I've

51
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 3: actually truly had a day off, meaning not doing like

52
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,120

Speaker 3: I just found out because we just got a came

82
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 3: out on the front porch, found a bottle of wine

83
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 3: and some flowers and some coolies and a nice little

84
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 3: note from the people who live across the street who

85
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 3: live in a purple house, wow, saying welcome to the neighborhood.

86
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 3: And then she came over and we chatted in the

87
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 3: front yard. And apparently my street Saturday is the annual

88
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 3: block party.

89
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: Okay, so that's so easy.

90
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 3: Noon to late. These block parties go late here apparently,

91
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 3: And so that's my Saturday.

92
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: Baby. I'm not going anywhere.

93
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,560

00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 3: where I will meet all of my neighbors all in

95

Speaker 3: I should.

98
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 2: That's what I would do. I think name tags are

99
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 2: the most underrated thing in society. I think anybody has

100
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: any decency, just get the little sticky pad one, slap

101
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 2: it on there and make everybody's life easier. It's not embarrassing.

117
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 2: Everybody was so positive. They got into everything. We had

118
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 2: a talent show, we had dog costume contests, we had

119
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 2: all kinds of things and everybody just participated. And that's

120
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 2: my favorite part is everybody was like, yes, we're doing this. Uh.

121
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: For those who weren't there, it was truly warm and

122
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 2: fun and silly the entire day and also windy and so.

123
00:06:54,920 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 3: Windy, and also so many bananimals helped, like vendors hold

124
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 3: their tents down in like these I don't know, probably

125
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 3: thirty five mile per gusts of winds.

126
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 2: Yes, and we're not saying the entire festivals windy. If

127
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 2: the festival was six hours, there were four minutes that

128
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 2: were windy, but they were tornado like strength, for random

129
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 2: twenty second intervals where things would get knocked down and

130
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 2: broken and we'd all set them back up, and then

131
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 2: an hour later the same thing would happen again. But

132
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: we had wonderful volunteers. Thank you to everybody volunteered, especially

133
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 2: Brandy who throws the day before picnic greeting I went.

134
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 2: It was so fun. I want to thank Paul and

135
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 2: Ben who built the giant banana fores last year. It's

00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 2: back here. I got it back.

137
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: It's in my be You drove it back because you

138
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: rented a car.

139
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 2: And flew it back. I flew it back.

140
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: Shit happened.

141
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 2: I checked it, Delta checked it.

142
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 3: So you packed it really well into a box and

143
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 3: then checked it.

144
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: I didn't pack it at all. I took it as

145
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 2: the bear banana. I called and they were like it's

146
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 2: a sculpture. I was like, yes, Like as a fragile,

147
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 2: I'm like not really, And they're like, how much is away?

148
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 2: Is that under twenty pounds? And they just checked it.

149
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 2: Are you It got a crack in the stem, but

150
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: it's fine, Like it got one crack. But I think

151
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 2: it just gives it, you know, a little history, a

152
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 2: little story behind it.

153
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: Is it in yourfice?

154
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 2: It's not. No, It's in my garage. But the only

155
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 2: reason is because I was like kind of cleaning and

156
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: rearranging my office. I'm going to make one corner sort

157
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: of a banana's corner. So when then we do our

158
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 2: Patreon happy hours with people and stuff that, I'm just

159
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 2: it's just overloaded bananas behind me.

160
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: I want to do that as well.

161
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 2: Yeah you should. It's gonna be fun. Yeah, but yeah,

162
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 2: I want to thank James for always making three D

163
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 2: printed key chains of stuff going out of your way.

164
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 2: Uh we did. We dog bowled rumpell. You got to

165
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 2: dog bowl your first rumple.

166
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 1: That was I dog bowled my first rumple. So that was.

167
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 3: They brought rumplements. And this is a story Scotty told

168
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 3: I don't know in the first year of the podcast.

169
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 3: Probably Yeah, I don't even remember the story. I just

170
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 3: remember dog bowl the rumple, yeah when I was calling

171
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 3: it rumple the dog bowl for a.

172
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 2: While by the end of a but when you're done

173
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 2: passing the ball, you can call whatever you want. The

174
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 2: story was, We're in a backyard summer party and I

175
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 2: was one of my good friends, Rusty was there, and

176
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 2: we met in Pensacola at Bushwhackers, which was the number

177
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 2: one selling rumpleman's shots placed in the pan handles. So

178
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 2: we just said so much trump.

179
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 3: Don't mind rumplements delicious.

180
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: It's really good.

181
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 3: Think it's better than what's the cinnamons, the fireball, fireball,

182
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 3: It's way better than fireball.

183
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 2: Great, makes your breast smell wonderful.

184
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 3: Makes your breast smell wonderful.

185
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 2: But the original story, the abbreviated version, is there about

186
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 2: five They are about ten of us sitting around and

187
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 2: folding chairs. We had a bottle rumple. We pulled out

188
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 2: a ball bottle.

189
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: They make actual tall bottles.

190
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh yeah, they have leaders. They got the

191
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 2: whole line surprising. I threw a hand.

192
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 3: I feel like should be come in pipe bottles and

193
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 3: a bottles that's it. You don't get a big bo

194
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 3: rumple because nobody's doing that. Nobody's placing it into a

195
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 3: licker cap.

196
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 2: No, it's going right down the hatch. And we just

197
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 2: threw a handful of ice in there. And then we

198
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 2: sat around passing a bowl of Rumpelman's yelling dog bowl

199
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 2: that rumpel at each other until it was all gone.

200
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 3: So was it a dog bowl or no, it was

201
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 3: just a bowl.

202
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 2: It was it was just a bowl, but it for

203
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 2: whatever reason, we got carried away with it. And then

204
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: in the years sense people sent me dog bowls that

205
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 2: said Rumple on it. They've been lost at parties, but

206
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 2: we have been dog bowling Rumple at my Halloween parties

207
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 2: in the past.

208
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 3: And also, you don't have to worry about transmitting diseases

209
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 3: because that is you're rubbing alcohol.

210
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: That you're thinking one.

211
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 2: Hundred and ten, whatever the proof is, it's crazy. So

212
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 2: by the time we got around the circle, passed this

213
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 2: whole bottle and we all just drank out of it.

214
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 2: So everybody, we've probably got three or four shots worth.

215
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: Like the most uptight girl and woman in the group

216
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 2: started smoking cigarettes and cussing everybody out, people were flirting

217
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 2: and arms around each other, and then my newest drinking buddy,

218
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 2: somebody that was straight edge until that summer, oh boy,

219
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 2: and then my other buddy were so hammered that we

220
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: put them to bed in a twin bed in just

221
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: the apartment that we were hanging in, and we just

222
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 2: made them spoon each other, but not like in a

223
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 2: creepy way. We just we put two grown hetero men

224
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 2: back to like spooned them and they just slept that

225
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 2: way for the rest of the night, just and they

226
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: both had smiles on their faces. It was so you

227
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 2: and I got to do it in person in Denver.

228
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 2: It was really it was.

229
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: It was a delight. I really really was to do that.

230
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 3: In the future, we really need to bring the Do

231
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 3: you think every bar has rumplements? I feel like it's

232
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 3: only Chicago bars that have rumplements, Chicago and Florida bars. Yeah,

233
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 3: I'm going to try it next time I go somewhere.

234
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 2: I think it's so damn good and I think it

235
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 2: just it's it's an after dinner drink. It's a d

236
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: just Steve, but.

237
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 3: Exactly, it's a classy it's classy DJ Steve.

00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,920

250
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,000

Speaker 2: great story She's very good top shows.

254
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: This was in the Washington Post, written by.

255
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 2: Doesn't say that Washington Post is going down the toilet

256
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 2: so fast. They have under one hundred thousand subscribers. What

257
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 2: are they have won? Under one hundred thousand members or whatever?

258
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 2: Not members? What's the word people that get Yeah, subscribers,

259
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 2: I guess. But for the first time ever, it is

260
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 2: just going straight down the old crapper.

261
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 3: That's too bad because they do report on a lot

262
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 3: of good stuff. I think I enjoyed even though it's

263
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 3: owned by Jeff Bezos.

264
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: Here we go.

265
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 3: Here, We've got Christoph Wagoner.

266
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 2: Oh yes, okay, cool name.

267
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 3: For the past nine years, Christoph Wagoner has collected thousands

268
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 3: of Halloween costumes. In every fall, he puts on an

269
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 3: event in Texas where children plus adult adults and dogs

270
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 3: can pick out Halloween costumes for free. The annual giveaway

271
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 3: began in twenty seventeen after Wagoner had moved from an

272
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 3: apartment into a house. His first time having trick or

273
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 3: treaters at the door that night, he noticed a disparity

274
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 3: in costumes. Some children arrived in brand new Star Wars attire,

275
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 3: while others were not as well outfitted.

276
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 2: Ah, we just know they.

277
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 3: Don't have access to the same things, Wagoner said. I

278
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 3: was looking at kids that were looking at the other kids.

279
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 3: They were just wishing and admiring. He started stopping by

280
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 3: secondhand stores in search of old costumes several times a week,

281
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 3: paying out of pocket to build a collection. He eventually

282
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 3: gathered more than one hundred costumes and hosted his first event.

283
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 3: It was on It's only seven years ago or eight

284
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 3: years ago.

285
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 2: We ran the numbers.

286
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 3: Nearly a decade later, his event, dubbed October's Child, has

287
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 3: grown into a major community event in Austin as okay,

288
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 3: that's great. This year, there were more than two thousand

289
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 3: costumes available, organized by category from princesses to superheroes. There

290
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 3: is even a section for dogs. People have to bring

291
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 3: their old costumes to the event, but Wagoner insists on

292
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 3: washing and repairing them himself before giving out the following year.

293
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 3: I don't want them to feel like they just got

294
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 3: hand me down, so you say, I want them to

295
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 3: be too close as new as possible.

296
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 2: Sure, this is a quote.

297
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 3: He doesn't care who you are, where you come from.

298
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 3: All he sees are the smiles, and he wants to

299
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 3: create more smiles. This man has such a big heart.

300
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 3: That's Brendan gutierres Hodgkin, who volunteers for October Child with

301
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 3: their two kids. Wow, I mean christoff Saints, Christoph Wagoner.

302
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 2: Banana the Week, Banana the Week and Banana of Halloween too,

303
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 2: Banana the Holiday.

304
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 3: Also, I mean, like that is so cool. If you

305
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 3: live in Austin, you don't know about that. Get on

306
00:15:55,680 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 3: it next year, bring some costumes, donate them two. That's amazing.

307
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 2: Also, let's face it, you have kids. Every kids outgrow

308
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 2: costumes all the time. Unless it's just a kid that

309
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 2: wants to be on Ninja every year or Dorothy from

310
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 2: Wizard of Oz every year, that's fine. But they'll grow

311
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 2: them and they get what one or two uses. There's

312
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 2: a girl in my second grade class who came as grapes.

313
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 2: She just had on purple leotard and then purple balloons

314
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 2: all over, and it's still one of my very favorite costumes.

315
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 3: That's that's my favorite costume. I think maybe that's what

316
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 3: I'm going to go Christmas.

317

Speaker 3: That makes me so happy.

322
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 2: You can probably go on Amazon and buy one of

323
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 2: those purple like whatever they are, bodysuits that they they sell,

324
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 2: and then you could just glue or purple balloons to you.

00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.

326
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 3: Maybe fun that is that is the way that that's

327
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 3: the fit. To figure out how to get the balloons

328
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 3: on properly?

329
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: Is the question?

330
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 2: Right?

331
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 3: Because you kind you wanted to be homemade, you wanted

332
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 3: it to be you wanted to.

333
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 2: It's gotta look a little bad exactly. Oh man, the

Speaker 2: pro a pro.

335
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 3: Version of that just looks too much like for the

336
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 3: Loom commercial.

337
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 2: Still the best holiday. I mean, just get dressed up,

Speaker 2: look funny, and then strangers give you candy. It wonderful. Great,

339
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 2: let's go back to that more of those three times.

340
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 3: Multiple, multiple times. I have lived in my house.

341
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: For two days.

342
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 3: Multiple people have been like, are you are you prepared

343
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 3: for Halloween on this block? And I mean, like, look,

344
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 3: we lived in Atwater. Atwater goes pretty hard for pretty good. Yeah,

345
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 3: but what La does in East Coast doesn't do is

346
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 3: La has like just certain blocks just don't do any

347
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 3: Like there's like the one block you go to and

348
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 3: then the other block nobody comes by. So we would

349
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 3: just we lived like one house in from the corner

350
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 3: and the street in front was at kids constantly, but

351
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 3: no one would come to our house. Yeah, but we're

352
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 3: right on the corner in the middle of the shit here,

353
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 3: so I feel like we're gonna have like five hundred kids.

358
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 3: To But then then you you set an expectation. You know,

00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 2: Year, hot ticket. Yeah, my favorite was So I had

375
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 2: one of those streets that went off like we went

376
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 2: crazy with my parents.

377
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm setting up Scotti to give my

378
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 3: children your childhood.

379
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 2: Well you yes, that's exactly right, and it was wonderful.

380
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 2: We would I don't know how many houses were on

381
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 2: our street, but may probably thirty, not that many, but

382
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 2: we would fill a pillowcase full of candy. That's how

383
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 2: much candy we would get every year. But my parents

384
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 2: went hard and they would do a walk of terror

385
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 2: around the house. So my backyard was a haunted house.

386
00:19:55,280 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 2: And my mom would boil like noodles and fill with

387
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 2: blood and then put ping pong balls with eyeballs drawn

388
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 2: on him. And to get candy, my mom would dress

389
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 2: like a witch. You'd have to reach in and hand

390
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 2: her an eyeball and then she'd give you candy. Wow,

391
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 2: which was great, and so there's no surprise. I'd write

392
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 2: horror movies for a living. But my dad would dress

393
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 2: up in a mask and like looking super scary and

394
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 2: bury himself in straw in front of a tombstone and

395
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 2: then have a couple of those, and then he would

396
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 2: sit up and scream. And one time a kid kicked

397
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 2: him in the ribs because he was so scared. It

398
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 2: was cool that kids up.

399
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 3: That kid's always gonna be okay. He kicks the monster

400
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 3: in the.

401
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 2: Ribs, And my dad's such a good guy. He just

402
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 2: went like, you know, instead of being like what the fuck.

403
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 2: So that's how I grew up. But our street, and

404
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 2: then also my mom would make all the costumes. So

405
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 2: I was a kitchen table with four play settings with

406
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 2: my head in the middle. Bo Jackson the two way athletes.

407
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 2: So I was half baseball half football, so I had

408
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 2: a split uniform. And because we were you know, progressive,

409
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 2: normal people. I wasn't blackface in the eighties because we're normal,

410
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 2: nice people. So it was like we just always had

411
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 2: killer costumes, tons of candy. And this is going to

412
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 2: be controversial, this is my least favorite, but very eighties

413
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 2: were fireballs. I never liked fireballs. Yeah, that was such

414
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 2: a big candy in the eighties.

415
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: I didn't.

416
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was fireballs or lemonheads. Lemonheads were always better

417
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 3: than fireballs.

418
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 2: Kind Yeah, lemonheads were good. Fireballs. You would just get

419
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,719
Speaker 2: so many, and like all the lunatic kids that are

420
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 2: probably in prisoner dead were just like, yes, fireballs. Or

421
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 2: you'd get dots. Those were real bummer dots.

422
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, just candy on paper, and I was like,

423
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 3: you want to eat some paper?

424
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:58,480

Speaker 2: I like, those are they called razzers?

434
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:25,680

00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 3: me non chocolate candy.

442
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 2: I love being an adult. I'm gonna buy myself some Spreeze.

443
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 2: This is going to be a big day for me.

444
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 2: Yeah I used to, but like I used to like

445
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 2: that stuff. And then when Sour Patch kids came in,

446
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 2: they came in like a direct white did ever.

447
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: They wiped everything else out.

448
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 2: They were a tornado and a trailer par Everybody was like,

449
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 2: I will trade you anything I have.

450
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 3: For You're such a big deal. I don't good they

451
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 3: have held on for forty five years crazily.

452
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 2: I went to a Dodgers game last week. They're in

453
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 2: the playoffs. I'm actually going tomorrow night with Vince, which

454
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 2: will be very fun too. And you know, I was

455
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 2: looking up the policy. So Dodgers Stadium has a Dodger dog,

456
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 2: and I think the whole thing is it's eleven inches.

457
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 2: It's it's not a foot long because the guy wanted

458
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 2: you to refer to it as a Dodger dog. Oh okay,

459
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 2: not a foot long, and so yeah, it's ten or

460
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 2: eleven inches. But they switched hot Dog pork processing company

461
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 2: a couple of seasons ago, and the new ones are

462
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 2: not good, and they're like like eleven dollars or whatever,

463
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 2: they're fourteen dollars. They're a crazy price. So I looked

464
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 2: up the policy for bringing food in, and you can

465
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 2: bring anything you wanted. You can bring a whole cheese

466
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 2: pizza into Dodgers team. You can bring any food you want.

467
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:02,719
Speaker 2: So I grilled twelve hot dogs, eight wrapped in bacon,

468
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 2: which is how they do it in LA and then

469
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 2: for it it weren't, and wrapped them in foil and

470
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 2: then we just used the condiments there. But then while

471
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 2: I was shopping for that stuff. I'm like, I gotta

472
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 2: I gotta bring some fun. I can't just show up

Speaker 3: Oh my god, I was. I was there recent not recently,

508
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 3: in January. It was goddamn gorgeous.

509
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 2: It's a pretty special place. Places and Carmel are looking

510
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 2: for a suspect of the attempted assault of a teenager.

511
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 2: Authority say a man tried to attack a thirteen year

512
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 2: old girl two weeks ago, but she.

513
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 3: In Carmel by the Sea. Can you I had where

514
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 3: in front of like the fudge shop slash art gallery?

515
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: Is that where they?

516
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 3: I mean, like, what the fuck is this dude doing?

517
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 2: Well, he's getting his ass kicked, that's what he's doing.

518
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 2: She was able to fend him off using jiu jitsu.

519
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 2: A walk come from school turned terrifying for a thirteen

520
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 2: year old Carmel by the Sea girl when she came

521
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 2: face to face with a man who was trying to

522
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 2: assault her halfway home. The gentleman was standing in between

523
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 2: two cars stepped out to do something. Sense Michael Blackburn said,

524
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 2: But for three years, I mean, I'm glad we got

525
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 2: a sense involved in this. This is our first sense.

526
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: This is the first quote from a sense god.

527
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 2: And also Michael Blackburn. Sense Michael Blackburn. For three years,

528
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 2: she'd been attending jiu jitsu classes with sense My Blackburn

529
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 2: at the Carmel Youth Center. She took what she learned

530
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 2: to real life to escape her attacker. She punched him,

531
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 2: She got him in a headlock, She need him a

532
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 2: couple of times, spun him around, threw him on the ground,

533
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 2: and had stepped on his foot doing all this. And

534
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,719
Speaker 2: when she threw him on the ground, he broke his ankle.

535
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: Dude, that's fucking amazing good.

536
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 2: This girl kicked this loser's ass.

537
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 3: I love this.

538
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 2: The girl ran home and was safe, but the attacker

539
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 2: still loose. Her family and police have asked to keep

540
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 2: her identity anonymous.

541
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 3: Understandable, he's still on the loose. How did they know

542
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 3: that his ankle's broken?

543
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 2: I think as he hobbled away. Carral police do say

544
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 2: they have they don't have a solid lead yet, but

545
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 2: they've released a sketch of what they believe. Blah blah blah.

546
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 3: For Sense Blackburn, where is he hiding at the Driftwood

547
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 3: the Driftwood Emporium?

548
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 2: Like?

549
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 3: Where?

550
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 2: Like here?

551
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 3: I mean like Garmel by the sea is small and

552
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 3: it's incredibly artsy and quaint. I can't imagine. Yeah, did

553
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 3: he run down and crawl up a cypress tree? Like?

554
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 3: Where is this man? Is he hiding in a in

555
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 3: a board bag?

556
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 2: That's right, he's in a succulent and dog ear piercing emporium.

557
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 2: For Sense Blackburn, he said, it's heartbreaking to know a

558
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 2: student had to be put in this situation. Of course,

559
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 2: what a loser this attacker was. But he is so

560
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 2: grateful to know that she knew how to defend herself. Quote.

561
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 2: I told her we were so proud of her. She

562
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,239
Speaker 2: did exactly what she was supposed to do. You have

563
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 2: to fight like you do in class, and you protect

564
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 2: yourself on the streets. The thirteen year girl, I was

565
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 2: hoping her story serves as a reminder to other young

566
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 2: people that knowing some self defense could save your life.

567
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 2: So shout out to this little girl and a huge

568
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 2: f you to that guy. But she beat the shit

569
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 2: out this guy. Yeah, we'd love to hear it. I

570
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 2: love any of the ones where a criminal picks the

571
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 2: wrong person. Boy, those are so satisfying. Yeah right, oh

572
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 2: my god, so good. I wonder if that'll happen, because

573
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 2: you know, the Olympics are coming to La And we

574
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 2: did a story for God probably twenty twenty about a

575
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 2: guy that tried to rob a van at a gas

576
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 2: station and it was full of an Olympic jiu jitsu

577
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 2: team or Koko Roman wrestling game. They just all came

578
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 2: out and beat the shit out of them. Like God,

579
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 2: that's so good.

580
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 3: Also, a Greco Roman wrestling team was so funny. I know,

581
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 3: it's so good because it suggests that they do it

582
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 3: oiled up and naked. That's what Greco Roman wrestling was.

583
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 2: Yes, my fighting style will always be running away as

584
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 2: fast as possible. That's just that's just how I roll.

585
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 2: Like a chems.

586
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:43,239
Speaker 3: Mine will be just making a noise and rotating at

587
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 3: the hips ninety degrees. We will go, something's wrong with

588
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 3: this guy.

589
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: I gotta get out of here.

590
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,479
Speaker 2: Yes, let's go. Yeah, I join in with the attacker.

591
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 2: Let's go get a boys, and then I run with

592
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 2: them and then we just don't know where to go.

Speaker 2: and his band Dead Billionaires. They got to play the

631
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 2: Georgefest in Nashville, which is we've never been. But if

632
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 2: there's one fest. I'm going to Nashville. It's Georgsfest. Oh

633
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 2: they are pro community, anti white supremacy group. So Bananimals

634
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 2: if you like new music, and I looked them up.

635
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 2: They're rock band. They I think they call themselves Ramshackle rock,

636
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 2: which is coreot.

637
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just looked them up. They look awesome.

638
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 2: Dead billionaires, download them, support them wherever you get your music,

639
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 2: and you can send your thumbs ups for the people

640
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 2: in your life, no birthdays, no dead pets to the

641
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 2: Banance Podcast on Gmail or Instagram. And that is that.

642
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, thumbs up to all of you. Scottie Curti

643
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 2: b fall is upon us, and pumpkins by season is

644
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 2: already underway.

645
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 3: And for our money, the only thing that can make

646
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 3: the days merrier and brighter is Julia Hannah.

647
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 2: Julia Hannah is like all of your favorite holidays wrapped

648
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 2: into one person.

649
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 3: She's like a roaring fireplace on a cold autumny.

650
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 2: She provides more joy than smiling children rolling in colorful leaves.

651
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 3: So stir a fresh cup of coco and raise it

652
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 3: to the reason for this season. Julia Hannah.

653
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 2: Julia Hannah.

654
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: All right, scott, are you ready to hear a story.

655
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 2: I love when you tell me news stories. I just

656
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 2: I'm over here laughing my buns off. I just love

657
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 2: having fun, man, it is always.

658
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: You really do love having fun.

659
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 2: Oh when I'm having fun, it's always a good time.

660
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 3: I found this one on the San Francisco Chronicle. This

661
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 3: was written by Aiden Vasiti and Rachel Swan, staff writers

662
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 3: at the San Francisco Chronicles. What a duo tech prankster

663
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 3: sends fifty way more robotaxis to a San Francisco Dan

664
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 3: Street Scottie. This is the first time that I haven't

665
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 3: done two animal stories in a very long time.

666
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 2: I just true and I you know you And I

667
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 2: just recorded an episode with Eugene Merman for the Pate

668
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 2: and uh he was great. But I've mentioned this on

669
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 2: that like when Waimo first came out, I was like,

670
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 2: you must.

671
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 3: Be kidding the job very ant diet.

672
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 2: And now I think I've I think I've turned over

673
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 2: a new leaf because I watched them drive around LA

674
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 2: and they're very good drivers. They're better than the stoned

675
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 2: drivers texting. They're they're really so I'm like, I'm going

676
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 2: to download a Weaimo account and start way mowing my

677
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 2: ass off.

678
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 3: LA is the most confusing driving culture that I've ever

679
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 3: experienced in my life. Will you will have and when

680
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 3: I I can't explain to people, especially who live on

681
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 3: the East Coast, it is really hard to wrap your

682
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 3: mind around. You'll see like a two lane highway there's

683
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 3: two lanes and one lane has one billion cars in

684
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 3: it and they're backed up, and the other lane is empty,

685
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 3: and everyone just stays in the lane that has one

686
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 3: billion cars in it. No one moves over. It is fascinating.

687
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 3: It is It is an ability to accept traffic and

688
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 3: not care about your own survival in a way that

689
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 3: is like fascinating to me.

690
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 2: It is fascinating. They don't do left turns on street

691
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 2: like it's the same like on the East Coast, you

692
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 2: kind of pull out in the intersection with you know,

693
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 2: you have your left trendsignal. You pull out the intersection

694
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 2: so when it turns, you check in the cars coming,

695
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 2: then you go. Some people in LA just sit and

696
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 2: then they'll either gun it or they just don't go,

697
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 2: And you go, what the hell are you doing? What

698
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 2: do you do?

699
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 3: And then meanwhile I get back here, Oh God. And

700
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 3: if you don't actively put yourself in danger. People start

701
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 3: honking at you go, you asshole.

702
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. Like, I drove with a guy for Red Bull

703
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 2: and Brooklyn and his dad taught him how to drive

704
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 2: before driver's lessons, and he said his dad said to him,

705
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,280
Speaker 2: drive to make the other guy break. And that seems

706
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 2: like the worst advice I've ever heard of my time.

707
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 2: That is so funny.

708
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 3: All right here it is fifty driverless cars converging on

709
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,320
Speaker 3: a single dead end street. Sounds like a software glitch.

710
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,720
Speaker 3: In reality, was a coordinated prank over the summer. Riley Waltz,

711
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 3: a twenty three year old software engineer in self described

712
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,959
Speaker 3: tech prankster, enlisted dozens of participants to order Weimo rides

713
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 3: at the same moment on San Francisco's longest dead end street.

714
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 3: The plan at dusk, fifty people went to San Francisco's

715
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 3: longest dead end street. Fifty people in all ordered a

716
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:36,919
Speaker 3: Weimo at the same time, the world's first weaimo DS.

717
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 3: That's a denial of service attack, I believe, Oh here

718
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 3: it is. The term short for distributed denial of service

719
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 3: refers to a type of cyber attack that overwhelms the

720
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 3: system with traffic to disrupt its normal operation. In this

721
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 3: case a tongue in cheek nod to how dozens of

722
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 3: simultaneous requests briefly jammed Waymo's network. No one boarded the cars,

723
00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 3: Waltz said. After about ten minutes, the autonomous vehicles departed

724
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 3: and charge each request a five dollars no show fee.

725
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 3: Way Moo handled this well, Waltz said, knowing that the

726
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 3: company temporarily disabled all pickups and drop offs within a

727
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 3: two block radius until the last morning. Wow it is

728
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 3: It's just fifty Waymos in a row, all lined up,

729
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 3: confused online. The stunt drew a mix of fascination and alarm.

730
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 3: Nice job, I guess what did you get out.

731
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: Of it when you are asked?

732
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 3: Another warn this would be a felony under the current

733
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,280
Speaker 3: computer access and abuse laws.

734
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: Would it be.

735
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 3: Some saw darker implications. Someone will figure out how to

736
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 3: use this to jam up traffing and targeted urban centers

737
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 3: on election day. Another user wrote, I mean people go

738
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 3: immediately to the very worst things. The other viewers is

739
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 3: viewed it as a useful stress test. They were not

740
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 3: vandalizing the vehicles, and they paid the no show fee.

741
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 3: Waymo should be doing this kind of thing itself. The

742
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 3: July prank fits neatly into Walls's pattern of projects that

743
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 3: blur the line between satire and systems analysis. A North

744
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,240
Speaker 3: Beach residence, Walls previously made headlines for creating a viral

745
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 3: map that tracked San Francisco's parking officers in real time

746
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 3: before city.

747
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: Officials shut it down.

748
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 3: He also transformed a fake Google Maps listing into a

749
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 3: real one night steakhouse, and built bop Spotter, an app

750
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 3: that uses music app Shazam to log music playing on

751
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 3: city streets. Twenty four to seven. Oh this guy, We've

752
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 3: talked about him? Did he turned his shed into a

753
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 3: restaurant for this?

754
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 2: Yes? I remember that guy.

755
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 3: Yes, this dude is awesome.

756
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:38,439
Speaker 1: I like this guy.

757
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 3: Waltz, who co founded a data company called numerous dot Ai,

758
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 3: has said his pranks are driven by curiosity, not malice.

759
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 3: You have to follow through on your ideas because if

760
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 3: you don't, you might stop having them, he told The

761
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 3: New York Times earlier this month. Why not WEIMO did

762
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 3: not immediately comment on the incident.

763
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 2: Well, I think it is sort of dumb. I think

764
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 2: that one's done. I think the steakhouse is the funniest

765
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 2: thing in the world. But I'm the way more one.

766
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 2: I guess it's just I don't know. You gotta do something,

767
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 2: but that does just seem like a waste of resources

768
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,919
Speaker 2: and time. We'll mean to go out of one.

769
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 3: Just give me the title and we'll do it next time.

770
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 2: A three year old flying in business class was served

771
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 2: a glass of wine and his mom is not happy.

772
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 1: She must have thought of his apple juice.

773
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 2: Right. Well, those flight attendant did it.

774
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,879
Speaker 3: I mean, but I mean when she when the mom

775
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 3: looks over, I mean, there's so many questions. All right,

776
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 3: I'm interested in getting into it in the next episode.

777
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm very glad. But Nana's Banana's is an exactly

778
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 2: right media production.

779
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 3: Our producer and enginey here is Katie Levine.

780
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 2: The catchy Banana theme song was composed and performed by Kahon.

781
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 3: Artwork for Bananas was designed by Travis Millard.

782
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 2: And our benevolent overlords are the great Karen Kilgareff and

783
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:11,760
Speaker 2: Georgia Hartstart.

784
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 3: And Lisa Maggott is our full human, not a robot,

785
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 3: part time employee.

786
