00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 2: This was the task that I opened, but we I

28
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: did a bunch of them.

29
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: It was plain explain to the good people at home

30
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: who have no idea what task Master is.

31
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: I will thank you, Scotty. Task Master is a British

32
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: TV show. It's been on for We're twenty what we

33
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: call seasons, they call series okay, and so it's been

34
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: going for a long time and it is so so,

35
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: so very funny and enjoyable to watch. I started watching

36
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 2: it with Olive and Guss and they are obsessed with

37
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 2: it who And I'm so happy that they are because

38
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, there, this will inform their senses of humor,

39
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 2: do you know what I mean? It's a very it's

40
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: a very silly sense of humor. It's a very British

41
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: sense of humor. And they tried doing it in the

42
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: US once, I think in Comedy Central royally screwed it

43
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 2: up because that's the only way Comedy Central could do it,

44
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: you know. It's just like, hey, do we have something

45
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: perfect that really works? We're gonna fuck with it, yes,

46
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: But it's really it's it's a hosted by the task Master.

47
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 2: Greg Davies and in the in I guess his assistant.

48
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: I don't know what Alex Warren's name is on the

00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:05,639

00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: back in the day in Edinburgh, Like maybe this will work.

57
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: And I did. It worked out. It was really fun.

58
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 2: I went down to DC took the Excella. I've been

59
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: really excited about next gen Excella. I did not get

60
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: an next gen Xcella, but I heard people talking about

61
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 2: it who work on the train. And everyone who works

62
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: on the train hates the next gen Excella, like there's

63
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: new faster. They're like six minutes faster, but they're totally

64
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: new designed Eccella trains and everybody hates them.

65
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah for the international but animals Excela. We have

66
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: Amtrak here. It's the it should be so much better

67
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: than it is. An Excela is the fast version and

68
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: then now there's an even faster version. So for Kurtie B.

69
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: For myself, when I was in college, when I lived

70
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: in New York and I'd have to get back down

71
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: to Baltimore, like I used to take the Chinatown bus

72
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: when I was broke. Then when I finally started making

73
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: a little bit of money and TV, I would take

74
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: the Amtrak. And then eventually I was like, one of

75
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,239
Speaker 1: these days, I'm going to get up to that Exceller level.

76
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: And I'm proud of you for just reaching the Acceller

77
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: level in life. It's noticeably faster.

78
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: Oh and it's so enjoyable. I got so much writing done,

79
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 2: like just the movement. It works for me. Man, I

80
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 2: love trains. It really is weird how many people love drains.

81
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 2: But so I went down there, did the show, hung

82
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 2: out with them afterwards. They were a delight and easy.

83
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 2: I didn't know Greg at all, and he was so

84
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 2: fun and so cool. I will not reveal what tasks

85
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 2: we did good, but for people who've never seen the show,

86
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 2: you can watch it. You can either buy it on

87
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: Amazon or on Apple TV or something, or you can

88
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 2: watch them on you and they give you these like

89
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: very silly tasks like one of the tests. This is

90
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 2: a test. This is a test they've done on television,

91
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: of course, so I don't feel bad reading it. Don't

92
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: prod the person in front of you with either a

93
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 2: finger or a sausage. If the prodded person guesses incorrectly

94
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 2: whether they were prodded by a finger or a sausage,

95
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 2: they get eliminated. Last prodded proder standing wins.

96
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what it's all about, right there.

97
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, it was so much fun and I won,

98
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: I won.

99
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: Hell yeah. Yeah. My buddy John Green, who listens to

100
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: the pod, was also like he was like, congratulations to

101
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: Kirk because it's such a big deal. And those tickets

102
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: for the live shows like off Market, it's like hundreds,

103
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: if not thousands of dollars to go to some of

104
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: those shows, which is crazy. So good for you for

105
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: being on that. That rocks.

106
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and it was.

107
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: It is.

108
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 2: It's so fascinating to see a show that has such

109
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: a fandom. Like I had someone reach out to me

110
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 2: who I don't know, I'm talked to in ten years

111
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,799
Speaker 2: and they were just like they show me their homemade

112
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: Taskmaster shirt that they made for themselves and their family.

113
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 2: They were asking me all these questions about it, and

114
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 2: they're like, can you be starstruck by someone you've known

115
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 2: for thirty years? Cool?

116
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: And that was awesome?

117
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: Man, I was like, this is so, it's so what

118
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 2: a delight to be involved with that.

119
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: Well, that's like when you opened for Metallica and all

120
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: of us who love metal were like, what, like you

121
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: just I texted you, Jonah Ray texted you. We were

122
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: all like, okay, so, I mean not that you're not

123
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: the number one Metallica fan in the world, but it

124
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: was like I am not, but I am, and so

125
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: no I had that was great. So you've seem like

126
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: a comedy taken into these really incredible places.

127
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 2: That's yeah. Now all I need it. I need it

128
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 2: to take me to financial security.

129
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: So one day, one day, one day, dude. I have

130
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: a funny story. At last weekend, my buddy Brandon turned forty,

131
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: so he threw a banger. I mean, he threw a

132
00:06:58,320 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: It was down to It was such a great out.

133
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: It was the most la party. But it was like

134
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: downtown literally next to skid Row, this big rock venue.

135
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,119
Speaker 1: Five bands. I didn't know that many of the bands.

136
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 1: Oh god, I show us my friend Brandon. He directs

137
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: music videos and stuff. Oh wow. And so I walk

138
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: in and it's loud, and I do run into some

139
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: people right away. When you mentioned Comedy Central, remind me

140
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: of this because I ran our old buddy Ry Moran

141
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: and his wife Sheila, just ran into all these people.

142
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: But I was yelling over you know, I couldn't hear.

143
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: And so I saw a back area where everbody's smoking,

144
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: because like you said, a couple of podcasts go smoking

145
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: is back. I grab a drink, I go outside and

146
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: just the natural flow, see a couple of people, get

147
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: some waves. The natural flow of the crowd and the

148
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: group and how people were exiting and stuff. There's a

149
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: little taco stand. I end up in the corner with

150
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: these four dudes. It's like very cool black dude, very cool,

151
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: mixed race dude, very cool Latino dude, very cool white dude.

152
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: That they're all a little older than me, but like

153
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: super friendly, like hey man, how do you know brand?

154
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: And all that kind of stuff. And I'm leaning against

155
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: the wall, drinking my beer talk to these dudes, and

156
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: I'm noticing all the younger people, especially the gen Z women.

157
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: There are like sneaking photos of this group that I'm

158
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: now in, and I'm like, okay, so.

159
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: Oh, you're realizing that you're like hanging out with like

Speaker 1: them all and I do not recognize any of them.

163
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: They're all dressed cool. I would have guessed they were

164
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: skateboarders or maybe like painters who also do graffiti at night.

165
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: We're all hanging on the wall and then my buddy

190
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: I'm done. It is crazy how people try to sneak

191
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: photos of celebrities. And it's like when you were in

192
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: school and you would fall asleep in class and you

193
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: were like, oh, the teacher's not going to notice me

194
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: closing my eyes. And then you give a presentation and

195
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: you're in the reverse and you just can tell everybody's everything,

196
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: who's a sleep, who's looking at their phone. It was

197
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: that so gen z. Cool it on the phones, cool

198
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: it on the cigarettes, cool it on the vape life.

00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 2: Turn them up. I'm saying turn it up.

200
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about Cat's baby.

201
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 2: I want to talk about Kats before I do, I

Speaker 1: I can't wait to brace mm hmmmm.

217
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 2: Your cat thinks you're a big baby and they're the parent.

218
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 2: This was this was I just found this online. It

219
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 2: was this is on yahoo dot com by Carol Cassada,

220
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 2: creator of Pause Mint. All right, Carol, Carol looks cool,

221
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 2: Carol cret, I don't know what Pause Mint is. I

222
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 2: don't know if it's a mint company for cats or

223
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 2: if it's more like an uber for children for cats.

224
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: Anyway, here it is over the year pause Okay.

225
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 2: Over the years, owners of cats have been making jokes

226
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,599
Speaker 2: with their cat it's only tolerate human beings, dogs, adoras,

227
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 2: but cats. They appear to be cool, enigmatic, and self sufficient.

228
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 2: New studies and animal behavior, however, are turning that story around.

229
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 2: A recent generation of research indicates that your cat might

230
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 2: not be simply be putting up with you. He or

231
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 2: she might be imagining you're their baby. Here. According to

232
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 2: behavioral scientists, cats think a lot of human actions as

233
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 2: infant light, and this makes them respond with caregiving and

234
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 2: parenting behaviors as they do kittens. Your cat may think

235
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 2: that it is the adult in the relationship, since it

236
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 2: may take care of you, your hair when grooming you,

237
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 2: and even deliver you a present. Plausible as the snowsu

238
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 2: may be, it has a basis in actual science and

239
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 2: has been reinforced by decades of studies with female subject

240
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 2: feline subjects in mind to get an insight into the

241
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 2: way cats perceive humans and it's important to start with

242
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 2: the way scientists examine the behavior of cats. Scientists monitor

243
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 2: the reaction of cats to different factors such as human voices,

244
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 2: facial expressions, physical jests, and tend to compare them to

245
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 2: the reactions of cats to other cats or kittens. Studies

246
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 2: conducted in the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

247
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 2: indicate that cats are very sensitive the voice of humans

248
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 2: and their body language. Their voice recognition can help them

249
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 2: differential between the voice of their owner and not of

250
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 2: a stranger, react to familiar emotional science blah blah blah.

251
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 2: Slow movements, exaggerated gestures, and higher pitched voices that humans

252
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 2: usually exhibit to pets are similar to those mechanisms used

253
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 2: with adult cats to interact with kittens. The facial expressions

254
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 2: also contribute as a factor. Cats are more favorable to relaxed,

255
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 2: soft expressions and slow blinking, which are motherly behaviors of cats.

256
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 2: Why cats may see you as a big baby. Cats

257
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 2: have a lot of kitten characteristics that humans exhibit without

258
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 2: realizing it. Baby talk, high pitch or stilted movements is

259
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 2: an indicator of weakness in the cat world. Another interesting

260
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 2: behavior is solicitation purring a distinctive purr that is a

261
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 2: combination of a normal purr and a high frequency call

262
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 2: like that of a kitten in distress. Researcher research indicates

263
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 2: if human beings tend to be particularly sensitive to this sound,

264
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 2: and in most cases respond by giving the cat something

265
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 2: to eat or calming it down. The implication here is

266
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 2: that cats have evolved their forms of communication and amount

267
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 2: of that they're able to induce a sense of caregiving

268
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 2: behavior in humans, just as the kitten does in its mother.

269
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: Huh.

270
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 2: Cats also think that you are the dependent party in response,

271
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 2: since you acted like a caregiver. Interesting what Okay? I

272
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 2: don't understand that that.

273
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: See.

274
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 2: It seems to be if you act like a caregiver,

275
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 2: switch the parent.

276
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'd switch the old switch aroo.

277
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 2: But they think kittens are the caregiver. I don't understand

278
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 2: what the fuck this is about.

279
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: Okay.

280
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 2: Feline parenting bears a lot of similarity with many of

281
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 2: the usual cat behaviors. Okay, here it is. Feline parenting

282
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 2: bears a lot of similarity with many of the usual

283
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 2: cat behaviors. Bring in gifts when your cat leaves you

284
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 2: something to play with or to eat. She's possibly showing

285
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 2: you how to hunt like her mother cat's ways grooming

286
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 2: and head butting. By licking your hair, rubbing their face

287
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 2: on you, or head butting, pheromones are released, and this

288
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 2: is the way cats groom and bond with kittens. Protective

289
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 2: positioning cats tend to place themselves above or next to

290
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 2: human beings during sleep or arrest, just as mother cats

291
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: do to keep an eye on their kittens.

292
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: Oh, I've seen that. I mean, I've had cats come

293
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: and sit on my head when I've slept at friend's houses.

294
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're watching it right.

295
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a big old kitten.

296
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, this ugly, this giant, ugly fucking kit, This.

297
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: Hairless, lanky, stupid kitten. That's me.

298
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 2: Uh Meowing is one of the most obvious signs that

299
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 2: cats perceive people as different from other cats. With adult

300
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 2: cats only rarely do they meal at each other. With humans,

301
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 2: they do it all the time. Cats have tailored Scottie.

302
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 2: I'm going to just be upfront with you. I am

303
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 2: one eighth of the way through this article and I

304
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 2: cannot continue to read for five hundred more pages.

305
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: I don't think too.

306
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 2: All right, I'm a hop to the end. What This

307
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 2: means for cat owners, when your cat thinks that he

308
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 2: or she is the parent, what do you do with

309
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 2: the information? Once you you can enhance your relationship through

310
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 2: much of it. Realizing that such practices as gift giving

311
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 2: or constant supervision may be caregiving instincts is a step

312
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 2: towards illuminating frustration and misunderstanding. Second, yeah, training to react

313
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 2: different react effectively to cat's signals help you and your

314
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 2: pet decrease the amount of stress. The fact that your

315
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 2: cat believes you're a big baby as humorous, but it

316
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 2: has a strong fendish and behavioral sciences. Cats not necessarily

317
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 2: regard human beings as cats or even as equals are

318
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 2: but as socially attached dependents that arouse nurturing instincts. Anyway, there,

319
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 2: it is, there, it is. Your cat thinks you're a

320
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 2: big baby.

321
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: And that's fine, And what's wrong with that? Nothing at all.

322
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 2: I think it makes a whole lot of sense all

323
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 2: of a sudden.

324
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: It's kind of comforting in a way. Uh And yeah,

325
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: they're yeah, they're treating you like they're a little bit

326
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: above you. They're a little wiser, they're more learned. I

327
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,239
Speaker 1: miss punk, my old neighborhood cat. So I would love

328
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: to have an outdoor cat. But it is coyote country

329
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: out here, and it really is. Yeah, and uh it's

330
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: I think it's coyote like mating season right now because

331
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: every night about eleven PM, I hear some some sounds

332
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: that would indicate that there's a good time happening in

333
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: the hill.

334
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 2: So it's not just it's not just howling.

335
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 1: No, they're they're having a ball. There's an upside down

336
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: pineapple or two somewhere out in Griffith Park there. Coyote's

337
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: are the original swingers man. But I would love to

338
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: have an outdoor cat, and I think I have. Like

339
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: there's a couple in the neighborhood that just kind of

340
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: prants by. They they never engage, even if I'm dog free.

341
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: It's they're just on their own missions. That old documentary

342
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: cat cam that my friend Seth worked on it actually

343
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: they put a camera that would just take photos every

344
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: ten seconds on a cat's collar and then just saw

345
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: what it did all day and was crazy. Went so

346
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: many different places, so many friends, so many houses, a

347
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: fight like it just had a whole life where I

348
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: feel like when a dog gets out for the day.

349
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: It literally just runs to the one name or nose

350
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 1: and tries to eat out of the trash or something.

351
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: It just uncomplicated creature. Maybe I'm wrong.

352
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 2: It is so I want updates, neighbor updates. You have

353
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 2: the guy who throws trash over the hill. You got

354
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 2: the the person who just shits on your lawn.

355
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 1: Cons they're gone. The dog goppers are officially gone. We

356
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: you know, we won without having to go to war.

357
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: But I've had a lot of aenn animals asked to

358
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: see that video and it just shows there's a streets.

359
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: I'm in the video and I'm like, I'm not going

360
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: to just lead you right to my house, but it's incredible.

361
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: I've showed some friends and it is. It is damn funny.

362
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: Neighbor updates. Yeah, there's some good ones. I found out

363
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: a lot of people were moving recently, and then everybody

364
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 1: that's moving in is a little younger. And I even

365
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: got this invitation on my door. I wasn't around for

366
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: the holidays, but it was like, we're going to party

367
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: in the court down the street. Come celebrate Christmas with

368
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: your neighbors. And they're new, and I'm like, this is

369
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: the energy I need in twenty twenty.

370
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 2: Six, Yeah, yeah, yeah, and you went No.

Speaker 1: I mean I was out of town, so I missed it.

372
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: But I if I run into them, I'm gonna be like,

373
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: you rock.

374
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 2: And That's what I've been surprised about here is like

375
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 2: I've now been to one two, I've now been to

376
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 2: three homes of strangers who are just like, we do this.

377
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 1: Come on over.

378
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,119

00:19:58,640 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, come over.

380
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 2: We went to somebody's house for Mlkday and they did

381
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 2: like there was like food was a pot luck. Everybody

382
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 2: brought food and then everybody did readings nice it was,

383
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 2: and lit candles and then hung out and drank a

384
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 2: lot of wine.

385
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: It was.

386
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 2: It was awesome. It was really excited. All the kids

387
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 2: were like hanging out and everything, and the kids were

388
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 2: there for like this kind of like very earnest, very

389
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 2: beautiful event. Another time there was like around the corner

390
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 2: here they do this thing every Sunday, and they'd be

391
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,719
Speaker 2: doing it Sunday weekly for like twenty years, where they

392
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 2: just have everybody from the Neighborhood's an open house. Anybody

393
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 2: can come and everybody just comes and hangs out and

394
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 2: all the kids play together.

395
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: That's so awesome. Yeah, that is awesome. The one funny

396
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: thing I walk every day now it's you know, just

397
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: dog life, but also just enjoyable to walk the hood.

398
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: And I've started to notice a bunch of things about

399
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: my neighbor's houses. One has a little secret skunk door

400
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: and it's a little door. Yeah, it's a little door

401
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: in their wooden fence and it says skunks only, and

402
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: it's pained black and white like a skunk's tail. And

403
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: it has just a little door like it's like a

404
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: little wooden door as you would imagine like a little

405
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: hob at home or something.

406
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 2: So at first I was gonna say, I don't like

407
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 2: that at all, because I had so many skunks in

408
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 2: my house when I lived there. But if you don't

409
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 2: have a little door for them, they just dig underneath anyway,

410
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 2: So might as well have a little door for him,

411
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 2: because they're gonna go where they're going.

412
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just a nice little like welcome friend, welcome you,

413
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: stinky little friend. And then the other one, and I'll

414
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: put a picture of this one up because it's just

415
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: so confusing. There's like a retaining wall. It's not on

416
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: my street. It's a few streets away. But this house

417
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: is very much on the hillside, like it is a

418
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 1: sheer drop. The house long terrifying.

419
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 2: So for those of you, I want you to imagine

420
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 2: where Scotty lives. Scotty lives hanging off the side of

421
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 2: a cliff. The angle of the of the of the

422
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 2: hill that Scotty and his neighbors are at is such

423
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 2: that all of the houses are You can look out

424
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 2: and you just see stilts there. There's a percentage maybe

425
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 2: like what one eighth of the of them is on

426
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 2: solid ground in the restaurant stilts.

427
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm one of the one eighths, thank god, So

428
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 1: I'm not on stilts, which is a miracle.

429
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 2: But uh no, I mean like one eighth of the

430
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 2: house is on like solid legs.

431
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's connected to the road. Yeah, basically the

432
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: stoop and the little driveway into the garage connects it.

433
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: But if without that, you just it is wild.

434
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 2: It is wild looking at your one neighbor where it's

435
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 2: just like the stilts are like pretty pretty narrow.

436
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: Very narrow, and I've seen ravens and owls and stuff

437
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: land on them and they like wiggle like the tension

438
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: is not what I would Maybe that's maybe a little

439
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: wiggles good in earthquake country, but uh yeah, I wouldn't

440
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: feel too comfortable living there, I'll say that. But I

441
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: found this one house on and just walking along and

442
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: I kind of like peered over the ledge be like, God,

443
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: this is nuts. And there's a hot tub against the

444
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: retaining wall covered by the driveway. So the view is

445
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: of the house wall, the retaining wall, a concrete above you,

446
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: and then maybe like a eight by eight square of shit.

447
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: It's not a good view. It's not out, it's not

448
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 1: of the hills or the canyon or anything. And so

449
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: it is. I mean, I'm just gonna send you a photo,

450
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what is the effort here? Just take

451
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: a bath inside at this point, if you know, it's

452
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 1: really it's a full hot u, completely blocked off in

453
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: every direction. I do not understand. Maybe they just really

454
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: maybe they're indoor kids and they just like to sit

455
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: and sweat. It's weird, but I investigate more. I have

456
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: some great neighbors. I have neighbors with bowling ball decor

457
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: that they decorate all the time. They have about thirty

458
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: bowling balls on sticks and then they put different hats

459
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: and so.

460
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 2: Now bowling balls on sticks, like shoved into the ground.

461
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: Yep, about twenty or thirty of them, so.

462
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:57,959
Speaker 2: On their front yard.

463
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, uh yeah, they're actually really not. They're my

464
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: favorite neighbors in a way because they're so nice. But

465
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,239
Speaker 1: like when the Dodgers in the World Series, they put

466
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: little Dodger helmets on every bowling ball. When it's Christmas, Yes,

467
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: when it's Valentine's Day, they put little hearthead bands on

468
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 1: every bowling ball.

469
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 2: And they're all lined up in a row or they

470
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 2: or are they stacked or.

471
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: The passard They're all over the place.

472
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 2: It's haphazard, okay. And so the stick comes up and

473
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 2: goes into one of the holes.

474
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's fired bowling ball. They're real bowling balls. There

475
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: are ten pin the one with three holes in it.

476
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: Brunswick or whoever makes those things, and they decorate them,

477
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: and uh, it's fantastic. They're Thankfully they're not an next

478
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,719
Speaker 1: door neighbor. They're little ways down the road. But do

479
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 1: I get delayed every time they put a cardboard top

480
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: hat that says Happy New Year on it? Yes? I do?

481
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? I love that so much. That

482
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 2: reminds me of in Baltimore there was a house that

483
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 2: had all white rocks in front of it. It was a rowhouse,

484
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 2: all white rocks, but then mixed in in the rocks

485
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 2: was probably like two thousand multi sided dye of all

486
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 2: different colors.

487
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: I told you, like all.

488
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 2: Dungeons and dragons die, just scattered in their front yard.

489
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, there you go. Whatevery, that's it.

490
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 2: You love dungeon dragons so much, your front yard is

491
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 2: dungeons and dragons.

492
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: Choose your own adventure. I suppose here' swan sent in

493
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: by kaya Lund, which is a great name, and Brady

494
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: also sent this in at the exact same time. It

495
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: must have hit the airwaves on the same moment. Oh yeah,

496
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: crotch crouch enlarging scandal has already hit the Winter Olympics. Oh,

497
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: I've heard about this.

498
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 2: I've heard about this.

499
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: When it comes to crotch enlarging, kurty b is not

500
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,479
Speaker 1: going to miss a beat.

501
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 2: When you see a headline and you think it says

502
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 2: cross stitching, but then you realize it says crotch stitching

503
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,959
Speaker 2: and it's involved with the Olympics, I'm in I'm reading that,

504
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 2: I'm clicking on it.

505
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: We should. It's on the cut, which is real. I

506
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: don't know if we've done many stories from the cut

507
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: written by Olivia Craighead, who's the best freaking business. If

508
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 1: there's a scandal about crotch and larging, you sprint from

509
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,719
Speaker 1: your editor's office and you tackle Olivia Craighead, and you

510
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: say you write this article not to be outdone by

511
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: the French pole vaulter from the twenty twenty four Paris Olympics.

512
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 1: I think I remember that guy and his hefty sauce edge.

513
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: The upcoming Milano Cortina Winter Olympics has its own groin

514
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: related debacle. Two coaches and an equipment manager on the

515
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: Norwegian ski jumping team have been suspended for eighteen months

516
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: for allegedly adding extra stitching to the crotch area of

517
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:58,719
Speaker 1: their athlete suits. It makes them slightly bigger, not for

518
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: vanity reasons, goodness. Unlike the case with the frenchman with

519
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: the Lusas edge in ski jumping, it apparently does help

520
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: to have extra surface area around your bulge. This all

521
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 1: started last year when Magnus Brevig, the head coach of

522
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: the Magnus Brevig, the Norwegian national team, and Adrian Livelton,

523
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 1: Norway's suit technician, were caught on video adding stitches to

524
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: the suits of Marius Lindvick and Johann Andre Fourfang. Four

525
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: Fang's a cool name if you pick it's like the predator.

526
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: You got four fangs. That's a cool last name, two

527
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 1: of the country's star ski jumpers. The video, taken at

528
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: the Nordic World Ski Championships in Trondheim, Norway, showed the

529
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: men manipulating the crutch of a suit after it had

530
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: already been inspected. Ooh, post inspection crotch manipulation.

531
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 2: I mean, why goodness? I am Also, where was the like,

532
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 2: who's taken the video?

533
00:27:59,840 --> 00:27:59,959
Speaker 1: Are?

534
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 2: Are they video in it? No, they couldn't have videoed it.

535
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: There must be like video in the room that they

536
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 2: weren't unaware, right.

537
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, there must be no crotchcam. You gotta be careful crotchcam.

538
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: Every time I'm in public, my eyes are just scanning

539
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: for crotchcams. I'm looking for their parts. Lyndvick and Forfang

540
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: pleaded ignorance to the crotch and larger plot and we're

541
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: served a three month suspension that they're allowed to take

542
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: in the summer. So okay, I don't know if the

543
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: summer is the biggest time for ski jumping, but sure,

544
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's some training going on.

545
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's some training. They have those little bristle courses, right.

546
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: That seems right. But both athletes are expected to compete

547
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: in the Olympics next month. Thank god, because now I'm

548
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna be all eyes on crotch when I'm

549
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: watching the ski jumpers. I want to see the other way.

550
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 2: Have you seen that that that world record ski jump

551
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 2: from like a couple of years old. Yes, right, yeah,

552
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 2: and I noticed that you see him. It's like it

553
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 2: does seem a lot of it has to do with wind,

554
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 2: Like if the wind is blowing towards you, you just go.

555
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: Farther right, You're like a kite.

556
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, because he like at one point he

557
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 2: kind of picks up a little bit from wind.

558
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: That's that's a cool sport. That's like a fun one. Well, yeah,

559
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: easy to understand. How far do you go and do

560
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: you land or do you die? Pretty easy, pretty easy sport.

561
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: But why would someone be adding stitches to their suit

562
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: in the first place to win. Of course, as the

563
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: athletic explains it, a larger suit means the jumper can

564
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: fly farther in the air, just like you're saying, like

565
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: a bigger sail or to make a like a bigger

566
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: sale makes a boat move more quickly. Because of this,

567
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: there are rules that state the athlete suit cannot be

568
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: more than four centimeters larger than the surface area of

569
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: their body, as one extra centimeter can add five meters

570
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: of length to a jump. What crazy? One centimeter five meters?

571
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: I ran the numbers. That's like fifteen feet.

572
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 2: That's amazing. One millimeter one millimeter from one centimeter.

573
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: One centimeter you can have five meters.

574
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 2: That is amazing.

575
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: And it's not uncommon for some skiers to go as

576
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: far as to use high luronic acid filled sleeves to

577
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: manipulate the size of their crotch. I mean, this scandal

578
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: galore in.

579
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 2: All luronic sleeves, sleeves that they put around their.

580
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: Yea, their ding dongs. Yeah, they're meats and cheeses.

581
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 2: Why is it filled with hyaluronic acid?

582
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. There are some questions that don't deserve answers.

583
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: Lassie Odison great name Lassie Otison and Olympic silver medalists

584
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: and ski jumping who now works on the inspection protocols

585
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: on the sport, told The Athletic that Norwegians had also

586
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: made the suit stiffer, which can create less drag in

587
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: the air. They opened up five different layers of material.

588
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: They entered different kind of material, a stiff material, then

589
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: they had it sewn back together, and then they sewed

590
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: the suit together.

591
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 2: Okay, so they inserted stiff material into this Yes, okay for.

592
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: A normal eye, not possible to see. But it was

593
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: totally on a different level of anything we've seen before.

594
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: So basically this is the most cheating sport since everything,

595
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: I guess.

596
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is fascinating how much. That's the craziest part

597
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 2: to me is that for the athlete, all they do

598
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 2: at this high level, all they do is train, right,

599
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 2: mm So then why would they want to cheat at

600
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 2: that point where it's like there's just this one little

601
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 2: choice that they make that could destroy them. They'll never

602
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,239
Speaker 2: compete again, they'll never they'll never live it down, and

603
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 2: instead they choose to do it. It's crazy.

604
00:31:53,920 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it says that they established saying in part oh,

605
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: this is established culture within ski jumping, one that has

606
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: not been harshly penalized, so up until now they've just

607
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: been looking the other way. Historically it has not been

608
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: enforced with severe sanctions for similar fences, so but now

609
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: it really sucks if you do get caught. The scandal

610
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: has startled the Norwegian ski jumping community so much that

611
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: the FIS has new rules surrounding suits. There are three

612
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,479
Speaker 1: D measurements to make sure everything is where it should be,

613
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: and once they've checked out, tamper proof microchips will be

614
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: put onto the suits. So you're gonna have a little microchip,

615
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: the ding dongrochip, ding Dong microchip. Perhaps this is a

616
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: good lesson for everyone, not just professional ski jumpers. Don't

617
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: try to manipulate your crotch area. Even if you wish

618
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: it were a little bigger, it's probably not worth it.

00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: it was an urban legend. I thought, now it's just

775
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: like you just get another meal, Like maybe I don't

776
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: know ice cream cups.

777
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 2: Well, here's what's on the menu. I'll tell you that

778
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 2: the John Wayne Gacy is chicken wings, strawberries, fried shrimp,

779
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 2: and French fries. Okay, the Ted Bundy is a Parmesan

780
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 2: state loaded steak fries.

781
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: Uh.

782
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 2: An alien Wernos is a cup of black coffee and

783
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 2: a cheeseburger. Look at that.

784
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 1: That's a serial killer meal if I've ever heard it

785
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,720
Speaker 1: in my life. A couple of coffee cheese.

786
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 2: The main thing is, I want to be very awake

787
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 2: when you kill.

788
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:17,919
Speaker 1: Me, oh man, and then ship my pants. Yeah, we're

789
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: uh this and sorry, what is the name of this restaurant?

790
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:22,959
Speaker 2: Last meal?

791
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 1: Baby, last meal? Okay, y, well, murdered bananas. You got

792
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: to make a pilgrimage.

793
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it makes sense too, because it's like it's probably

794
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 2: all food that's delicious.

795
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 1: Easy to access. I don't know the appealed, but okay,

796
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: I mean I would go. I'm more curious about the meals.

797
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:51,800
Speaker 1: I guess you listing those were was interesting. But yeah, boy,

798
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 1: good for you miss.

799
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 2: Your last meal. If you can have your last meal.

800
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: Well, I guess I would like some baby back ribs

801
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: from the Rendezvous in Memphis. Wow, those are very good.

802
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: I also down there, but I think I would get

803
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,359
Speaker 1: a hulk, and I would first of all, when I'm

804
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: nervous or anxious, I can't eat. I'm one of those people.

805
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: I'm not an anxious eater. When I'm anxious, I'll go

806
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: I could just go days without eating. So I think

807
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: if I was literally on death's door, I would probably

808
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 1: need anything. I would just drink water and hope to

809
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: keep it. Let's say I'm cool with it.

810
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 2: Let's say you're cool, You're totally chilled.

811
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: Baby ribs, curly fries, which I know is crazy. And

812
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 1: then I think I would drink a picture of frozen

813
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 1: margarita's with salt on the rim. Just drink it straight

814
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: from the from the black. Yeah, just straight.

815
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 2: And what's going to be what's going to be your

816
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 2: ingredient list in that margarita?

817
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: Okay, well, I'm going to go fresh lime juice, majority

818
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:02,760
Speaker 1: then a pretty big splash of orange juice. Oh okay,

819
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: half a can of a Mexican logger. Okay, I'm gonna

820
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: do equal parts quantroll, just a little bit of quantroll,

821
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 1: and then I am going to do a Grand Marnier

822
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 1: floater on there.

823
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 2: Wow that I mean, yeah, you gotta go all out right.

824
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 1: That's got a pretty good margarita for those listening at home.

825
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,240
Speaker 1: That's how I make them when I'm at my house.

826
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,720
Speaker 2: And so you'd use a pony bottle of corona maybe.

827
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, ponyball corona in there. It just cuts the sweetness

828
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: a little bit. And oh and then tequila, you know,

829
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: I go blanco. I would go a Herod blanco herdera

830
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 1: blanco pitch. I mean, take me now, job because that

831
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: sounds good. I'd have to. It's Friday, baby, I might

832
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 1: do that tonight.

833
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 2: I do like a martarita for this. I do like

834
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 2: a martarita for.

835
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 1: A big margarita that just send it off.

836
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think I would probably my drink would

837
00:44:56,120 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 2: be I think Martine probably Tito's Tito's Martini with with

838
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 2: with blue cheese, alaves from Keynes, specifically from Keynes. That's

839
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 2: what I want. Yeah, I guess, And that's what I'm

840
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 2: gonna do. Okay, what meal am I going to have?

841
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 2: My God, that's such a good question.

842
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 1: It is.

843
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:24,320
Speaker 2: I think it would probably be like incredibly high end sushi.

844
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,760
Speaker 1: Oh, I love that, you know, you would look so

845
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: brave they'd be like, look at this guy to Martini's.

846
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: Just high end sushi, some some really good toro going

847
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: in there.

848
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, I'm not having any cooked shrimp. I'm

849
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 2: not having any eel baby, I'm having just just fish.

850
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 1: It would be awesome. Next time I'm in New York,

851
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 1: let's go to Keenes. You and me, let's go. I

852
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 1: haven't been in since I.

853
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 2: Don't do a show at the Bellhouse. I'll get that

854
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 2: booked soon. Let's do it in March. We want to

855
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 2: do it in March.

856
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: If I can, I will. I'll check the cows.

857
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 2: Oh right, March is hard for you.

858
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: But maybe let's do it in April. Yeah, we'll check

859
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,399
Speaker 1: it out. I'll send you some dates. But that'd be fun.

860
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 1: I want to go to Keen somewhere.

861
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, right, and you can stay at our house

862
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 2: and everything.

863
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 1: Ooh thanks, just financially savvy right there. That's a good.

864
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: Oh speaking of prisons. Yeah, and it's funny that you

865
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,359
Speaker 1: did this story and it's also food related. The other

866
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 1: day I drove by McDonald's and it had like a

867
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: playplace and honestly it looked like hell. And I meant

868
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 1: to text you, like, do kids still do birthday parties

869
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: at McDonald's, so no, they don't.

870
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 2: And also play places have been being removed, so like

871
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 2: the majority of play places in LA no longer exist.

872
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 2: And now that space they took all the stuff out

873
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 2: and now it's just seating. It's just extra seating in

874
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 2: a different, weird little room, and it feels creepy and

875
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 2: strange because I was I, my kids want to go

876
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 2: to a play place so badly, and so we would

877
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 2: just stop at them and then it would just be

878
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 2: like it's ripped out and you can't go in it.

879
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: Yes, so yeah, so you saw one xers and our

880
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 1: elder millennials that remember when McDonald's was a pretty incredible destination.

881
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: But the other for birthday parties. But there was always

882
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 1: this one thing in the playground because the playground back

883
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 1: and then was a spiral thing that looked like a

884
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 1: Sunday and then it would be like a little fry

885
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 1: guy things that had a little carousel, but it was

886
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: all metal and it would be five thousand degrees like

887
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: the ballpit. All that stuff came later, but then in

888
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:41,319
Speaker 1: the middle there was this thing. It was Mayor mccheese.

889
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 2: I knew that you were going to say, the Mayor

890
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 2: mccheese thing. The amount of times that I would get

891
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 2: locked up in there exactly, stuck in that thing was crazy.

892
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 1: You basically there was like a thick trunk like stand.

893
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,439
Speaker 1: It stood about probably six or seven or eight feet tall,

894
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 1: and the whole thing was you climbed up this rickety

895
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 1: not rickingy metal ladder.

896
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 2: And side inside a metal tube and then you got

897
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 2: into like what was like a spaceship like a but

898
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 2: it was a hamburger and it was.

899
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 1: It was the mouth of Merrimc cheese, which was a

900
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:16,880
Speaker 1: cheeseburger head and it but then the mouth was prison bars.

901
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 1: It was metal bars and then metal bars.

902
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,359
Speaker 2: The bottom was curved so when you were in it

903
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 2: you would just kind of like slide into the wall

904
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 2: so you couldn't get a purchase, and then there's just

905
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 2: bars and then you were stuck. And it was like

906
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 2: so claustrophobic and upsetting to be in there. Yes, and

907
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 2: then the only way to get out because because other

908
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 2: kids would be coming in and then sometimes you would

909
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 2: get to the hole where the stake where the ladder was,

910
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 2: but there was no way to get your feet to that,

911
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 2: so you just had to go head first first. It

912
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 2: was crazy.

913
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: I'm so glad you remember this because it feels like

914
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 1: a fever dream. It feels like a liminal space of nightmare.

915
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 1: And the only thing it was for is like I

916
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:06,799
Speaker 1: guess your parents could walk up and you'd be at

917
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,320
Speaker 1: eye level with your parents, but then you were locked

918
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:10,959
Speaker 1: behind prison bars.

919
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 2: And you weren't young, wasn't Oh he was a mayor, right,

920
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 2: and mayor McGee policeman.

921
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 1: He has Alan's hat on for some reason.

922
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 2: Policeman's hat on, right, But his name was Mayor mccheese,

923
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 2: so wait, he was a police officer who also became.

924
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 1: A mayor a small town. I guess, uh, if you

925
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:33,280
Speaker 1: are under the age of thirty five, maybe even forty,

926
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: google Mayor mccheese's playground. And also, you know, they decommissioned

927
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:40,399
Speaker 1: these things, so people just buy them and put them

928
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 1: in their yards. But it came back to me like

929
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 1: a like a PTSD flashback of like being in that thing,

930
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 1: sliding towards the hole. It was hot as hell, and

931
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 1: it's like, how was that? Who designed that?

932
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 2: Who designed it? It was so hard to get to

933
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 2: move in it too, oh man, because it was you

934
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 2: were working it with two things. It was curved, and

935
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,280
Speaker 2: it was a tight curve, so you're just like wrapping

936
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:07,320
Speaker 2: your body around it. But then also it was curved

937
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 2: going up and down as well, so it was a

938
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 2: circle on kind of both sides.

939
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 1: Yes, really hard to move in it. If I finally

940
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 1: get paid for the script that I've been waiting five

941
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 1: years to get paid for, which it could happen this

942
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:22,760
Speaker 1: year actually, and I finally get to build East Banana

943
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 1: Land in cloud Croft, New Mexico, I'm going to find

944
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: one of those. Yes, I'm going to drive in a

00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:30,760
Speaker 1: maryor mccheese just for the instagram of it all. Please

946
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 1: I'll cut a couple of the bars out because I

947
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 1: do think adults would get stuck in there permanently. But

948
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 1: I don't want anybody to die in the East Banana Land.

949
