Speaker 4: really to the pandemic, you know I know that.

49
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we we limped on for for five more

50
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 2: years after, but it really it was never the same.

51
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 2: It was never the same.

52
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: You have to change venues. Yeah, that's it.

53
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 4: That's always a killer, isn't it. It's many have to

54
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 4: change a venue. It's like, oh, it's just hard.

55
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 3: But we loved it while I lasted.

56
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: It was very interesting because in the origin, sorry Scotty

57
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: to cut you off. But like when we first started

58
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: Hot Top, I guess it was it didn't matter back

59
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 2: then because it wasn't It didn't have as big of

60
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: a following. But when we started, we moved venues constantly

61
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: in New York City. It was like we had like one, two, three, four, five, six,

62
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 2: six different venues and then we finally settled at our

63
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 2: sixth Venue for like the last two years we were

64
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: in New York. But I do agree, Yeah, it was

65
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 2: starting in a new venue as always like a hard,

66
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 2: weird thing. What were we going to say, Scotty.

67
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: Well, I went to a show last night at Scribble

68
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,080

00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: One easy parking, very easy parking on the street all

71
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: around it. Two the venues built for comedy. It's a

72
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: really good space. The crowd, it was a great crowd

73
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: and then it was a lot of drop ins. But

74
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: the drop ins were Maria Banford, great comeil Non Johnny Great.

75
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,880

Speaker 1: in too. So it was just a power show and

82
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: it felt very Brooklyn twenty two thousand and eight. It

83
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: felt like we were kind of in like a space

84
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: that could be an art space you could break out

85
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: into a dance party later, or just really solid comedy

86
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,160

Speaker 2: Look at that.

91
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: So that's something that's something not my preference at a

92
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: comedy show. But they're making money, they're staying alive at

93

132
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: Hot. Yeah, it's one today. It is when I saw

133
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: it this morning, let my dog out and I was

134
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: just wearing T shirt and shorts and I was hot

135
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: at eight a m. And I was like, Oh, this

136
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: is hot, this is happening, this is happening.

137
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 2: I would be panicky the last couple of years in La.

138
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 2: That would make me panicky in a way that I

139
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 2: think led to me moving.

140
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 3: But it's just so soon.

141
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 2: Is she soon for ninety?

142
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 4: You know?

143
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 2: But also then I walk outside and it's seven, and

144
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't know, go back and forth with

145
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 2: my decision, you.

146
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: Know, I get panicky too. And then I go to

147
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: a beach bar and I drink a Pina Colada and

148
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: suddenly all those panicky feelings just blow away like a

149
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: Bahama breeze.

150
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say everything's equal. Everywhere is equal, folks, Yeah,

151
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: for sure. But also I do feel like Toronto. Last

152
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 2: time I was there, I felt like Toronto was an

153
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 2: example of a city that does what America says it does,

154
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 2: meaning be a melting pot. Like when you go to Toronto,

155
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 2: it is a real sense of like on the street,

156
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 2: every single culture from the world is represented and equal

157
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: parts and it feels like everybody gets along in a

158
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 2: very cool way.

159
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 3: You know what The difference between story the difference.

160
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 4: They always used to say, like America the melting pot,

161
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,800

Speaker 4: They used to call Canada the tossed salad, which isn't

163

Speaker 4: a great one anymore. It's not as popular, but they

164
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 4: used to call it a toss salad because everything remains individual.

165
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 3: And that's the thing about Canada.

166
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 4: We're all together, but they're like, please still be your culture,

Speaker 2: Woman breaks into house cleans, it leaves an invoice. It's

197
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 2: probably safe to assume most passers enter stranger's homes with

198
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 2: intentions that are less than ben elevant benevolent. A woman

238
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 2: a true American. She's got hustle and she's willing to

239
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 2: grind it out. She's willing, no matter, no matter what,

240
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 2: she is going to clean some houses and she's gonna

241
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 2: send out some invoice.

242
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 3: They said no press is bad press.

243
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 4: Stir what I'm saying like, no press is bad bets

244
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,560

245
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,080

246
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,640

248
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 2: Loves cleaning so much, you will break into your home

249
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 2: to do it. The Chronicle Telegram reporter that Warren stated

250
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 2: that she simply wanted something to do while driving by

251
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 2: the house. In an apparent attempt to eliminate such on WI,

252
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 2: Warren let herself into the home, washed coffee mugs, dusted, vacuumed,

253
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 2: and took out the trash. The homeowner, Sherry Bush, told

254
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 2: w KYS and May that she assumed a maid mistakenly

255
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 2: entered the wrong house, so she called Warren to sort

256
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 2: out the situation. I think our jaws dropped to the ground,

257
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 2: Bush recalled. I said, what happened? Did you get the

258
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 2: wrong house? She said, no, I do this all the time. Okay,

259
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 2: what do you mean, she said, I just stop and

260
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 2: clean your house. Her unpredictable services has even netted her

261
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 2: a nickname around the area, the cleaning ferry. Indeed, Westlake

262
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 2: Patch noted that Warren hung up on a police officer

263
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 2: after assuring him that she.

264
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: Does this all the time.

265
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 2: Warren said she randomly picked the house to clean because

266
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: she was desperate for money. Bush's nineteen year old daughter

267
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 2: was sleeping at the home at the time of the

268
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 2: legend invasion creepy. According to the paper, Warren and sists

269
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 2: Bush overreacted to the incident. Warren said she owns a

270
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 2: housekeeping business and regularly enters homes, tidies them up and

271
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 2: leaves a bill, and there was no sign of forest

272
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 2: entry and Warren did not steal anything from Bush's house.

273
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 2: Warren will be sent us next month, but she must

274
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 2: also appear in court in connection with an April Berg

275
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 2: Glory case found that she had a previous convictions for

276
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 2: this earthly conduct, failure to register as a solicitor, and

277
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 2: criminal trespas. She has been doing this all the time,

278
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 2: and she's unstoppable, apparently.

279
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no remorse here.

280
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 3: She she likes what she does.

281
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 4: I don't think she's stopping. What look like now the

282
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 4: cell is going to be spotless.

283
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: Oh good call, Yeah.

284
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 4: Cleaning there, but my goodness, those toilets you'll be able

285
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 4: to eat off of them.

286
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 2: She's with some I'm going to look up an update,

287
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 2: see what where she is now?

288
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 3: And look okay with the daughter being in the house.

289
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 3: That's a little scary. Can you imagine up when someone

290
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 3: was cleaning your house?

291
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yes. As a kid, though, I would have

292
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,640

00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 3: It's so weird. Okay, Ohio? What's going on in Ohio?

318
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: I know nothing? Apparently absolutely nothing. They're the most bored

319
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: people in the universe. But like, okay, ban animals who

320
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: are listeners, who are lawyers, are prosecutors? Is there what

321
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: is the crime for doing a service that somebody doesn't

322
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: want you to do? If like if did she try

323
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: to charge the people for shoveling their snow?

324
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 5: Because like, yeah, oh, okay, okay, so that means that well,

325
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 5: I mean she left a bill, but I mean, like,

326
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 5: it doesn't seem like shoveling snow, is I guess trespassing?

327
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 4: But still when she leaves the bill though she just

328
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 4: leaves the bill, now, I would think the problem would

329
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 4: be if she follows up.

330
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 3: On the bill, like if she's right, Jimmy the fish

331
00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 3: to your.

332
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: House right, your extory.

333
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 3: It is a different story. But she just sending the bill.

334
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: This is this is this is this is it's affordable.

335
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, also give her the money. If you come

336
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: and shovel my driveway and you say, hey, forty bucks,

337
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: I go done, Thank you, see your next snowfall.

338
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 2: Dude, A daughter and a dad showed up and it

339
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 2: was like twenty bucks and I was She said fifteen.

340
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 2: I gave him twenty and they did it all and

341
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 2: I was like, exactly, yes, one while I pay twenty

342
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 2: dollars instead of having to do this.

343
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 1: You know, this gray area reminds me back in like

344
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: twenty twelve, twenty thirteen. Uh, the Baltimore Ravens football team.

345
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: They're one of the best players. Was this guy, Ray Lewis.

346
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 1: He had an injury going into the Super Bowl. Around

347
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: the same time, there was a professional golfer named VJ. Singh,

348
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: very good, champion level golfer, had a bad knee injury.

349
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: They both got flagged. It was like the steroids era.

350
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: They both got flagged for using deer antler spray on

351
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: the injuries. What and then when VJ. Sing they somebody

352
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: in like a press conference were like, are you going

353
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: to ban him from the next major golf tournament, and

354
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: this guy at the PGA goes, no, it doesn't work.

355
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: What they did. It was like basically they did nothing

356
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: to themselves. So even though it was like a placebo

357
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: and basically it's like ground up deer antlers which regenerate really, well, yeah,

358
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: you spray it on an injury, but basically it was like, no,

359
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,479
Speaker 1: he sprayed himself with wind decks, and so we're not

360
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: going to ban ray Lewis or vjsing. But it's kind

361
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: of like this. It's like there's there is a crime,

362
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: but it's also a service, and nobody got hurt and

363
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: nothing was stolen. So it's this like is it just neutral?

364
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: Is this just don't come back? Please? Yeah?

365
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 2: It does seem like she's really pushing the boundaries of

366
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 2: victimless crime.

367
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 4: That's it. Victim yes, yeah, Now give you ever have

368
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 4: you ever had a cleaning service, if you ever had

369
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 4: someone coming in clean your home?

370
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: Yes?

371
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 4: Yes, Okay, I say I've done the same and every

372
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 4: once in a while, like right now, I have a

373
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 4: woman that I that she's my friend, and you know,

374
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 4: I've been with her for a long time, but pre her,

375
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 4: you know, I would do that app one of the

376
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 4: apps like a task Rabbit or something in higher up

377
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 4: it's a tree be like okay. And one time I

378
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 4: had a woman, young girl, she probably was maybe twenty

379
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 4: two or twenty three, yes, and you know great. I

380
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 4: was like, okay, she comes in, She's super jazzed to

381
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 4: be there.

382
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 3: I'm like, fairly gay, hooray.

383
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 4: So I sit for a bit and then I'm going

384
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 4: to take off to give space and seeing I feel

385
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 4: the weird sitting there. So it's like, okay, I'll be

386
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 4: back in about whatever. She's like three hours.

387
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 3: But great.

388
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 4: I come home to my apartment and she has lit

389
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 4: every single one of my candles in my apartment.

390
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:48,719
Speaker 1: That's weird.

391
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 4: And I walked into like, I say, aunt's level of

392
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 4: candles and I walked hello, she was gone, So I

393
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 4: don't know how long she had left up to say,

394
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 4: about twenty three candles burning in my line.

395
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 2: That's so crazy.

396
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: Well, we all, well, when did you move to Los Angeles? Deborah?

397
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: Topless maid service vans? Remember seeing those around the city

398
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: all the time. So for those of you who don't

399
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 1: live in Los Angeles, somewhere in the twenty thirteen, fourteen, fifteen,

400
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: So there were vans all around the city that would

401
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: say topless Maids one hundred dollars. Now these this was prostitution,

402
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: this was an escort service. But basically Witman would come

403
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: over your house, fully nude and for one hundred dollars

404
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: clean your house and then the follow up to that store.

405
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 1: And the reason you don't see them anymore is a

406
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: super strain of gonorrhea spread throughout Los Angeles that was

407
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 1: eating through condoms. And if you think I'm being hyperbolic,

408
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: I am not. It was the super strain that literally

409
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: was crunching latex and they traced it back to the

410
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: topless maid services going around Los Angeles.

411
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 3: Remember these vans. I'm not kidding. I remember that.

412
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 4: It was yeah everyone and it was just and they're gone.

413
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 4: I haven't seen one for years, but I remember it

414
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 4: over pink.

415
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's crazy. That's the wait. So twenty three candles,

416
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 2: what I mean, like, did you did you ever interact

417
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 2: with her? Again?

418
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 3: Asked her. I get, well, I want to tell you,

419
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 3: and I don't do this often. I don't do this,

420
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 3: but I did give a bad review. I don't do

421
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 3: that very often because I'm like, I know this on

422
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 3: the big deer money. But it was like you I

423
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 3: could have it could have been very bad, could.

424
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 2: Have burnt the house down. Yeah what if you hadn't

425
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 2: come back for five hours?

426
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: It's earthquake country.

427
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like okay, but and she she was

428
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 4: lovely and also but she also left like notes all

429
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 4: over the apartment too, and it was weird.

430
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, no saying what yeah, just like you're great.

431
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 4: Didn't keep smiling and like stuff that she had prepared

432
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 4: on her own first and like, but it was weird.

433
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 3: And I know she was a young girl and stuff,

434
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 3: but I was like, this is too much.

435
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: It was she was in her arm.

436
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 3: He did a great job though.

437
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 4: Let me tell you, she did a great job of

438
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 4: the apartment.

439
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 3: Also, she's popless, but I didn't care about that.

440
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you.

441
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: There we go affordable. Oh man, here's one for you guys.

442
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: Calie Kennedy sent this in. One of the best there

443
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: ever was Debra. You have a very Italian last name.

444
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 1: Have you been to Venice, Italy? By pretty cool town.

445
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: Have you been to Venice, Yes, pretty cool town. This

446
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: this story takes place there. Cannibalistic jellyfish with venising vanishing

447
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: anises are invading Venice. I'll say it again. Cannibalistic jellyfish

448
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 1: with vanishing anuses are invading Venice, Italy.

449
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 2: Now this was disappear in a but.

450
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: Oh well, that's the title. Katie LBC dot co dot

451
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 1: UK Katie Dartford got this incredible assignment and also we

452
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: got sent this one a lot bananas, birds and buttholes.

453
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 1: They know what we do best here like, Venice is

454
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: facing an unprecedented invasion of a peculiar cannibalistic jellyfish, also

455
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 1: known as the sea walnut or cute right sea walnut.

456
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: That's cre sea walnut. You know the other name it's

457
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: known for guys, the wordy comb jelly. So I'm going

458
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 1: to go with se. The gelatinous creature is multiplied in

459
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 1: the Venetian Lagoon, clogging fishing nets and devouring essential elements

460
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: of marine life. Native to the western Atlantic. Is believed

461
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: to reach the Adriatic after being accidentally transported there in

462
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: a ballast water of ships. So ballast water got sucked

463
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: up spit back out from there rapidly colonized large swaths

464
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 1: of the lagoon. In this new report, scientists say the

465
00:23:55,359 --> 00:24:01,239
Speaker 1: jellyfish's success is down because of hold on success is

466
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: down to ongoing climate change. Okay, great, so different idea.

467
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: The jellyfish, whose Latin name blah blah blah, is known

468
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: for its transient anus, an opening that only appears during defecation,

469
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: then is swallowed back into the membrane.

470
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I would love to have that.

471
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: I don't perfect. What a dream?

472
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 2: What a dream?

473
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 3: Why?

474
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 1: I mean?

475
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 2: Why has it? Evolutionarily? That happened to every animal?

476
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 3: Right until I need it?

477
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 4: I don't need it. Y, that's it.

478
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: Sea walnuts are also known to eat their own offspring.

479
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: That's the cannibalistic side. Researchers say there has been a

480
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: sharp increase of the number of these jellyfish in Venice's Lagoon,

481
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: creating serious issues for fishermen who are already struggling to

482
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 1: protect their livelihoods. Not only do the wordy comb jellies

483
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: I got fishing nets, they also feed on fish eggs, fish, larva,

484
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: and plankton. The species is listed among the one hundred

485
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: most harmful invasive species in the world. I know never

486
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 1: heard of these things.

487
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 2: I've never heard of them either.

488
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: It is now so widespread throughout Venice's Lagoon, according to

489
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 1: it to year study by scientists from the University of

490
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 1: Padua and Italy's National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics.

491
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: Their findings were published in journal Stuerine Coastal and Shelf Science.

492
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 1: That sounds like a fun read. The invasion poses serious

493
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: issues for the entire Adriatic fishing industry, which is valued

494
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: at billions of euros. Oh so this is the you know,

495
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 1: they always over explain like everything, but at the end

496
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: it says another invasive species in the Adriatic is the

497
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: blue crab, which also comes from the Atlantic, which I'm

498
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 1: from Baltimore. It's our number one thing. Italy is trying

499
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: to eat their way out of that problem, putting blue

500
00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: crabs on market, supermarkets, menus and in every restaurant. So

501
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,239
Speaker 1: they're basically trying to out eat the blue crab. I

502
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: love it. I guess I gotta go back to Italy blue.

503
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 2: The blue crab is the classic Chesapeake Bay crab that

504
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 2: you eat. Are what are the blue clawed ones that

505
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 2: you get in Miami? Do you know what I'm talking about?

506
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: That might be the same. You don't think that's the same.

507
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 2: I don't think so, because in Miami it's like a

508
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,959
Speaker 2: big thing you go have, like blue crab claws.

509
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: I thought that's the same. It's the same. Yeah, that's

510
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: the same.

511
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder why that's not a thing in Baltimore.

512
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: Well, I think as we eat the whole damn crab

513
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: up there, I think we picked. Yeah, we like ripping

514
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 1: that thing a car, I mean we do. We can devout.

515
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: I can pick a crab in about one minute.

516
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 2: So that's amazing.

517
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty fast. Not to brag, but yeah, So these invasive,

518
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 1: cannibalistic wardy sea combes are ruining the fish life in Venice.

519
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: Pretty that's interesting.

520
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 4: It's very you know, I'm not really like, I'm not

521
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 4: super surprised. I think jellyfish to have always had sort

522
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 4: of a slightly villainous you know, you're creepy. They're scary,

523
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. They look weird, like there's

524
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 4: a whole thing like that. To me, like that is

525
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 4: something that advanced into something even worse. I'm like, yeah,

526
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 4: that makes complete sense to me. I'm like, I don't

527
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 4: understand it, but I accept.

528
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 2: They seem like the zombies of the sea. They're slow moving,

529
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 2: there's a lot of them, and they don't stop coming

530
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 2: right through them.

531
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 3: Which is always and transparent, is always weird.

532
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 4: It's very you know, go see, very fantasmic, kind of strange.

533
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 4: You know.

534
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't even I don't. I don't even that,

535
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 3: I don't.

536
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 1: You can outrun them, but they can surprise you, like

537
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 1: they are the zombies of the sea.

538
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and like if you get surrounded by enough of them,

539
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 2: you're the die.

540
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 3: Really scary. Okay.

541
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,719
Speaker 4: I remember, like you guys were talking about Maine at

542
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 4: the topic. That's what we always vacationed Maine. We always

543
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 4: love to be because you know, I grew up. I

544
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 4: was born in Quebec, right, and like from Quebec to Maine,

545
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 4: we drove, that's what that was or something. Yeah, and

546
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 4: we always went to the town that we went to

547
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 4: was called oh gun Quit Main Main. Sure, fantastic, and

548
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 4: it's just it was my whole childhood. We're very fortunate.

549
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 4: I loved it. But one of the things was, you know,

550
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 4: you would go early in the morning to the beach

551
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 4: and there'd be jellyfish like washed up. And I just

552
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 4: remember like as children, even though we're like these are

553
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 4: living things, are like we would take rocks and throw

554
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 4: it in the middle.

555
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 3: If you hit it in the middle.

556
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 2: Do you remember, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fun.

557
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 4: It's fun and wild, and I feel less guilty now

558
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 4: I know that they're bad, do you.

559
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: Know, Yeah, yeah, it's fine. Your kids your experimental.

560
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 3: Also, we're just living.

561
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 2: Do you think what you were doing was actually just

562
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 2: making more jellyfish?

563
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: I think if you rip.

564
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 2: One and a half, it just becomes two different animals.

565
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 4: God, yes, oh that's exactly the like, thank you. We

566
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 4: needed that great And everywhere on days what it would rain,

567
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 4: you'd go to be each in the next morning and

568
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 4: they were just everywhere.

569
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 3: They were just I think they're five.

570
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: I think they're fine. If anything debor you might have

571
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: been fighting back against an invasive species without knowing it.

572
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: You might have been doing a huge service to the

573
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: good people made. When Kickstarter came out, we all thought

574
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: Kickstarter was so cool. We all made our little films,

575
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: we shot comedy specials. Everybody was like Kickstarter Kickstarter, and

576
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: none of us realized that you didn't have to give

577
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: the reward or the gift or the appreciation thing for

578
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: the tears. And I donated to one and I think

579
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: I donated like two hundred dollars to one that somebody

580
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: sent me. And it wasn't until maybe ten years later

581
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: that I saw a stand up comedian make a joke

582
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: about how nobody ever got anything from their Kickstarter donations,

583
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: and I realized I had sent two hundred dollars to

584
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: desktop jellyfish tank, this company that was going to give you.

585
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: It's kind of like sea monkeys. They were going to

586
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: send you small jellyfish in this tubular tank that would

587
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: go on your desk. I was like, I want this,

588
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: and then you'd have like just four five I have

589
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: like moon jellyfish going up. And I completely forgot about

590
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: their donation, went back and my emails found it, and

591
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: I was like, what a scam. Somebody just probably got

592
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: millions of dollars. And I was like, yeah, we're just

593
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: not gonna it's.

594
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 2: Not wait do you didn't respond to them or anything.

595
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: I forgot. I just was waiting for it to come

596
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: in the mail one day to be absolutely astonished and delighted.

597
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: It instead, instead, my life sucks.

598
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 2: I only did one Kickstarter, and I don't know how

599
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 2: much we've ever really talked about this on Bananas, but

600
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 2: I only did one Kickstarter, which was to skywrite a

601
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 2: joke and it worked.

602
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we did, and yeah.

603
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 2: We and we were able to hire a skywriter. He

604
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 2: cost I think like five four thousand, five thousand dollars

605
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 2: at the time, and each letter blew away as soon

606
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 2: as the other letter was up. But the whole thing

607
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 2: was that if you signed up for it, we would

608
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 2: take a foot we would send you a framed photo.

609
00:30:55,920 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 2: And I do believe that every single I mailed out

610
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 2: so many of those, and I do believe everyone got

611
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 2: a frame photo so much so that in my basement

612
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 2: I still have, like I still have I think fifty

613
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 2: framed photos of how do I Land? In my basement

614
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 2: to this.

615
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 3: I remember how many years ago?

616
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: Is it?

617
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 2: That was twenty thirteen. That was right after I moved

618
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 2: to La Oh I got yeah, that was thirteen years ago.

619
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: My god, crazy, that's nuts. What are we doing?

620
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 2: I know, it's so crazy.

621
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 3: Kickstarter's going then completely.

622
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 2: No, I think it still exists, but I think because

623
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 2: it's like there were you know, if you don't if

624
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 2: you didn't make your minimum, yeah, they took it away

625
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 2: from you, didn't they they took your money. Yeah, And

626
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 2: then GoFundMe was like, well that's dumb, We're just gonna

627
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 2: and now it's gofund me as everything and Kickstarter, but

628
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,960

629
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 2: to be a creative or like tech thing. Oh, it'd

630
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,840

654
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: Pierre Antoine was like, let's get out of here. You

655
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: requested a transfer to their European office. They sold everything,

656
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: gave everything away, and flew to the Netherlands with four

657
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: suitcases and two cat carriers. They have so much to

658
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,920

665
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: Schwam because I don't know your real name. That's her handle.

666
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: Wants to thumb her partner, Finn up for taking incredible

667
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: care of her when she went through bone marrow transplant

668
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: for cancer. She's not in full remission, but s's numbers

669
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: are low enough that she's in maintenance therapy feeling so

670
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: much better, and she couldn't have survived without Finn. They

671
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: celebrated fourteen years together and she is so happy she

672
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: ended up with such an amazing man and best friend.

673
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: So Saul thumbs up to you, both of you stay

674
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: healthy and last, but not least, Laura wants to thumb

675
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: herself way up for trying stand up comedy for the

676
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:25,320
Speaker 1: first and second time this year. She's forty two years old.

677
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: She didn't think she'd ever have the courage to try it,

678
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: but a few months ago her father, Byron, was in

679
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: the hospital and she said fuck it and decided on

680
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,919
Speaker 1: a whim to tell some stories at an open mic,

681
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:41,240
Speaker 1: and she crushed nice. So the good old, our beloved

682
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: Byron passed away in September at the age of seventy six,

683
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: but Laura says, I will always be grateful for his

684
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: warped sense of humor and amazing storytelling skills. And then

685
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: Laura got asked back. She did so well that the

686
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: comedy said, come on back, do five minutes set, and

687
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: she said she had an even more fun time performing

688
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: for a second time.

689
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 2: So thumbs up to you. Get out there, that's awesome.

690
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for doing that.

691
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 3: We love women getting on stage exactly.

Speaker 3: April?

696
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 2: In April, we were just there. We were just there.

697

699
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:30,160

Speaker 4: I think this will be my third time going back,

703
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,440

00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: Yes?

712
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 2: Canadian this is this was in CBC That's Swinging.

713
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: Swinging Staff written by Lauren.

714
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 2: Vanderdeno from CBC News Best in the Biz. Museum of

715
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 2: Personal Failure exhibition turns defeat into triumph in Vancouver. A

716
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 2: new exhibition at Vancouver's dubiously iconic Kingsgate Mall features lost hopes,

717
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 2: shattered dreams and crushed ambitions and a whisper of hope.

718
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 2: The Museum of Personal Failure, which runs January twenty fourth

719
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 2: to February third, explores the experiences of failure through artifacts

720
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 2: submitted by the public, ranging from a wedding dress of

721
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 2: a failed marriage to non working knives to a can

722
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 2: of spilled paint curated by Burnaby resident e Van Collins.

723
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 2: The idea for the Museum of Personal Failure originated when

724
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 2: a relationship ended. It felt like a failure. It was

725
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 2: a heartbreak, Colin said, I just needed to do something

726
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 2: with it, and this is what I did. Collins made

727
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 2: posters saying fail failures wanted, implastered them on garbage cans, herbs,

728
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 2: and electrical boxes. Soon he had emails offering to display

729
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 2: all sorts of artifacts of failure. Failure is an essential

730
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 2: part of life, Colin said. It's part of making an attempt.

731
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 2: Sometimes it goes the way you want it, Sometimes it doesn't.

732
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 2: A wall of reject includes firing notices and rejection letters.

733
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 2: Oh Colin's mother, Jennifer Campbell, submitted her wedding dress. I

734
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 2: wanted to sort of tell a story about a failing

735
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 2: that occurred in my marriage and how we were able

736
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 2: to move on, she said. I've called it Threads of

737
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 2: Innocence because it's about the innocence of false fairy tales

738
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 2: or things that you think are going to happen when

739
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 2: you're young and it doesn't happen. I love this. I

740
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 2: love to notice the significance of how she displayed the

741
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 2: dress in a moving box. That represents how people can

742
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 2: move on from difficult moments. Oh that's cool. But just

743
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 2: because something is a failure doesn't mean wonderful things can

744
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 2: happen from it. Campbell said, you just grow and move on.

745
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 2: She said the wedding dress isn't the museum was only

746
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 2: artifact of love loss. Vancouver based artist Dana Belcourt submitted

747
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 2: a blurry film photograph of a past partner titled Photograph

748
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 2: of a Failed Situationship. The photo is sometimes a failure

749
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 2: can be a good thing. I think it's actually a

750
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 2: good thing that I ended up in a relationship with

751
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 2: this person. Oh this is interesting. Blade smith Casey via

752
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 2: Vilensky of Lynn Valley Forge submitted a knife that can't

753
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 2: be sharpened due to an issue with the chemical properties

754
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 2: of his quenching oil.

755
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: Oh you gotta be careful with your quenching oils.

756
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 2: I mean, wow, Let's see what else everyone's saying, like

757
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 2: failure is the only way to move forward. All the

758
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 2: you know. Jamie Greenberger, music producer, submitted thirty three dollars

759
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:56,399
Speaker 2: bill Failed Album, a hip hop dance album of six

760
00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 2: failed songs. He said his showcases first attempt at producing music. Yes,

761
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 2: this is so awesome.

762
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: This is great.

763
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it.

764
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

765
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 1: The three of us are in entertainment. All we do

766
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 1: is get rejected. All we do is things never live

767
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 1: up to the thing in our head. It's just a constant,

768
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: and there's it happens so much that you get good

769
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 1: at it, where you stop seeing things as failures, which

770
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 1: is weird.

771
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 3: As you were saying that, I was like, what do

772
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 3: we consider those failures or just a.

773
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: Part of these because it's just it. It just is.

774
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 4: It's a rejection is so a part of what we

775
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 4: do that it's like you don't even rate. It's like

776
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 4: it just it doesn't even sting to say it anymore,

777
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 4: you know.

778
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just like okay, whatever.

779
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: It's a relief almost. Sometimes I had somebody pass on

780
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 1: a movie recently and I was like, great, God, I

781
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 1: don't want to worry about this again. It's like bedbugs.

782
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 1: It's like just give them to me or not.

783
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 2: I don't want to worry about it, right, especially when

784
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 2: it goes on for so long and you're kind of

785
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 2: like like you've lost your passion for doing it in

786
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,240
Speaker 2: the first place, and you're like, fuck, if they actually

787
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 2: say yes at this point later, what the hell do

788
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 2: I do?

789
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: I don't even like st I love.

790
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 4: I love the whole idea of just like I just

791
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 4: love a community of people coming together to do it, like,

792
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 4: you know, submitting their own ideas of failures, because it

793
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 4: is a lovely way to get over things. And I

794
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 4: just as you was reading the story, imedtally thought of, uh,

795
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 4: it's a I think it's Carrie Fisher that quote of

796
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 4: take your pain and turn it into art.

797
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 3: Sure, And I love that.

798
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 4: I love that you have to Yeah, yeah it can,

799
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 4: you know, really can be really really painful, and it's like, yeah,

800
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:35,320
Speaker 4: turn it into something else, turn into art, because expressing

801
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,479
Speaker 4: it always helps and someone else is always going, oh

802
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 4: me too. It's just that I just love that, and

803
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 4: I'm pleased it's Canada and go to all the I

804
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 4: think it ended today or yesterday, but still it's it's

805
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 4: a lovely it's a lovely thing. What a wonderful content.

806
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 2: Love I am because I feel like this is a

807
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 2: very of the moment thing right now, because this was

808
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 2: the second article I had read kind of about this,

809
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 2: and I was trying to find out where I had

810
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 2: seen it, so just googling, and this is this is

811
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 2: kind of there is like some think pieces maybe two

812
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 2: weeks ago about how gen Z is navigating a world

813
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 2: of constant no And there's all these people on Instagram

814
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,879
Speaker 2: who are like going to like get one hundred rejections

815
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,919
Speaker 2: and they like post every rejection. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

816
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 2: and like it's pretty cool because it's like every like

817
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 2: fifteenth one or whatever, like they get it and like

818
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 2: they actually get to do it. So it's like a

819
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 2: failed rejection. But it's such a cooler flip to see

820
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 2: it that way, and it allows you just like I

821
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 2: got the rejection, boom next up onto the next.

822
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 3: It takes out of it. It takes the fear out

823
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 3: of it.

824
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, It's one of those things that it's like, you know,

825
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 4: it would be a very good lesson for like young

826
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 4: people to learn, Like really it is, because you know,

827
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 4: I think I think we're all so scared to fail

828
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 4: that we often don't try. So I mean I could

829
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 4: definitely say I'm you know, worse it gets good. So

830
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 4: it's like, what if you can take the real, the

831
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,359
Speaker 4: real you know, failure, go.

832
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 3: On, move on that. I think that would help a

833
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:04,359
Speaker 3: lot of young people.

834
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,399
Speaker 4: I really do. And I feel like that is more

835
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 4: people would try stuff and kind of get like doing something,

836
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 4: making that list of making the joy of it and

837
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 4: kind of community because everyone's been there.

838
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 3: That's the thing. Would you put something there? You think,

839
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 3: why am I doing this? Because someone else.

840
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 4: Is going to be like that's me too, and that's

841
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 4: what we need a little confinitely right, Well yeah.

842
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 2: Well said. And also it's just like and I do

843
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 2: feel like it's a thing that you just need to

844
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,280
Speaker 2: hear remind like you need to be reminded of because

845
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,919
Speaker 2: no matter what, it's still I think happens to all

846
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 2: of us where there's.

847
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 3: No way exactly there's every human beings experienced a failure.

848
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 3: There's no no one, no one gets through like without one,

849
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 3: you know.

850
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 2: And I just remember like starting to think it would

851
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,839
Speaker 2: always be like because I'm always starting to go back

852
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 2: to the gym, I'm always like going back to working out,

853
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, And I and I always

854
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 2: push it off because I'm like it's gonna like, I'm

855
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 2: gonna it's gonna suck. It's gonna be so much harder

856
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 2: than it was before because I haven't done it in

857
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 2: so long. Yeah, and then as soon as I started

858
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 2: looking at it, or reminding myself to look at it,

859
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 2: it's like, it's okay. If you go in and you

860
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 2: don't do it, Yes, it's like you can't do it.

861
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 2: You still did the thing. Like that's a success. The

862
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 2: failure is a success.

863
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 1: Yes, you did it.

864
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 3: That's exactly it.

865
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 4: That's very well said. That's exactly it.

866
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 3: It's still that's because you lose de droid exactly.

867
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 1: I had a friend in in Lockdown. I had a

868
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: friend stop by my house and you know, just came

869
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: knocked on the door, left a CD at my door,

870
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 1: and saw him drive away, and I was like, oh,

871
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: that's weird. But whatever. We were all bored, we were

872
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: all trying new things. So I put it in and

873
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: it was the craziest ten songs I've ever heard in

874
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 1: my entire life. I don't know genres of music as

875
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: well as some people, but I would just say it

876
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,919
Speaker 1: was some sort of industrial noise with lots of dog

877
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: barking sound effects and just so violently loud noise metal

878
00:43:55,680 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 1: if that's something long and so, and then we all

879
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,919
Speaker 1: kind of get baxed up and we're out and back

880
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: into the real world. And that guy called me like

881
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 1: a year later and he goes, did I ever drop

882
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:09,800
Speaker 1: a CD off at your house? I go, yeah, you did. Actually,

883
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 1: he goes, did you listen to it? I said, yeah,

884
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: I did. I listened to it one time on an

885
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 1: old laptop that still had a CD drive. And he said,

886
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 1: can you destroy that? I go yeah. He goes, I

887
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: was in a really weird place. I hate it. I'm

888
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 1: so embarrassed by it. I'm sorry you even listen to it.

889
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: Do you mind just destroying it for me? And I

890
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 1: was like, no problem. He's like, I believe you, but

891
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: you really are going to destroy right. I'm like, I

892
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: have a paper shredder. Stay on the phone with me,

893
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: and I put it in and it crunched it down.

894
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: But he was like, I was just in the strangest place.

895
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:41,360
Speaker 1: I was like going crazy. He's on an album for

896
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: dogs that was like speed metal was a good idea.

897
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 3: That's how now, that's that's the depth of the quarantine.

898
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 3: Like this is where we're at.

899
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: People I know so I kind of like that because

900
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: it's like reverse failure, like nobody cared. I didn't understand.

901
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, we're all expressing our but he

902
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: was like, no, I have failed as a human with this.

903
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,879
Speaker 1: Please God destroy it from you. And so hopefully all

904
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 1: of us that got them did destroy them and he

905
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 1: can sleep well at no funny.

906
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 2: Honestly, a speed metal album for dogs is right up

907
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 2: my alley. Like if he had sent it to me,

908
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 2: I'd be like, oh is genius Zoomies'd be good for

909
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 2: zoom Zoomies. Ooh, it's pretty good.

910
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 1: I know. Maybe that should be a band. Okay, I

Speaker 1: Adelaide council after challenging a one hundred and four dollars

923
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: parking fine. According to court documents, a woman known as

924
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: Miss Mathey Great was fined on Bouchotte Avenue in Blakeview,

925
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: adjacent to a private school in twenty twenty one. Miss

926
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 1: Matthe was fined for double parking. Court documents stated her

927
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 1: car was photographed twice over a two minute period. I

928
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 1: mean that's a lot of photographs in two minutes, guys. Yeah, yeah,

929
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: one every half hour seems like more than enough. But sure.

930
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 1: She was photographed twice and two minute period and had

931
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:45,719

934
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 1: Court after she was fined, Miss Mathey argued she was

935
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 1: stuck in a line of traffic and she could not

936
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: drive on the wrong side out of the road. The

937
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 1: magistrate rejected this defense, finding two minutes is an exceedingly

938
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: long time for a car to be stuck in traffic.

939
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 1: So right now I'm siding with her.

940
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 2: Because that two minutes is an easy amount of time.

941
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 3: Oh god, that's a normal, regular amount.

942
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:20,360
Speaker 1: Speaking to ABC Radio Adelaide, Miss Matthew's lawyer Karen Stanley

943
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 1: said she assisted and took the case to Supreme Court,

944
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 1: So now a lawyer's involved. I ran the argument that

945
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: she had a defense and a very very it was

946
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: a technical argument, and the Supreme Court said that we

947
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 1: were successful on the technical argument side. The technical argument

948
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 1: was that the council's parking ticket was not clearly labeled

949
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: and referred to two separate offenses blah blah blah. So

950
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 1: basically it wasn't clear what she did and wasn't written correctly.

951
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,319
Speaker 1: So I literally got her off on a technicality.

952
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:48,799
Speaker 3: Nice.

953
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,280
Speaker 1: The argument saw later saw an intervention by state Attorney

954
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,760
Speaker 1: General Kaiam Meyer or Mayor, who argued that the fine

955
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 1: adequately described a general description of the offense. So here

956
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:02,360
Speaker 1: comes the state's attorney general saying, no, that's not true.

957
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 1: Then a Supreme Court judge, I know this is for

958
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars parking, but a Supreme Court judge found

959
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:13,840
Speaker 1: it was incumbent upon a prosecuting authority to provide clear

960
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 1: and precise particulars of the alleged offense. So now it's

961
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:20,720
Speaker 1: back in miss Mathew's court. She's winning. The Supreme Court

962
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 1: ruled with the allegations not communicated clearly to Miss Mathey,

963
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 1: the Council six months I've framed to prosecute had expired.

964
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:32,399
Speaker 1: This is crazy. I love it, truly, miss Stanley said.

965
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 1: The City of Playford then took the case to the

966
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 1: Court of Appeals, so it keeps going now. Ultimately the

967
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 1: Court of Appeals overturned the technical issue. But really importantly,

968
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 1: the Court of Appeals said, well, actually miss Mathey had

969
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 1: a really good defense and that was a defense that

970
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: had never been told at her original trial. Sure again, guys,

971
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:54,240
Speaker 1: one hundred and four dollars, four.

972
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 2: Years years of litigation, yeah years, Oh my god.

973
00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 1: Miss Matthew responded, I would have been breaking up other

974
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,360
Speaker 1: road rules by driving on the wrong side of the

975
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,239
Speaker 1: road if I was trying to get out of that

976
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:07,359
Speaker 1: line of traffic. The Court of Appeal said, yes, you

977
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:11,320
Speaker 1: are right. Okay, So the court was ultimately set back

978
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 1: to the magistrates' court for a retrial, but the Council

979
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 1: later withdrew its charge.

980
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 2: Finally somebody goes, someone looks, what are we doing? What

981
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 2: is happening?

982
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 1: In what world do we live?

983
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 2: Why are we doing after fifty thousand dollars worth of

984
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:29,240
Speaker 2: legal claim?

985
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:30,919
Speaker 3: Which did the leaause? Oh my god?

986
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 1: Right, well, Kurt, you're you must have had tickets before,

987
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 1: because miss Matthew applied, it says, applied, applied for her

988
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 1: appeal costs of fifty two thousand, eight hundred and ninety

989
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 1: six dollars to be paid. However, the court ordered that

990
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:49,760
Speaker 1: the council only had to pay twenty percent of those costs,

991
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 1: amounting to ten thousand, five hundred and eighty dollars. A

992
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:56,280
Speaker 1: City of play for its books person said the council's

993
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 1: involvement in the appeal proceedings was to preserve the integrity

994
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 1: of the expiation process, which is essential regulatory function relied

995
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 1: on by councils. As blah blah blah. This was not

996
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 1: a case about single expiation, but a fundamental point of

997
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 1: law with far reaching implications in South Australia's entire expiation system. So,

998
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:24,879
Speaker 1: as far as I can tell, this woman now has

999
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 1: to pay forty two thousand dollars in legal fees and

1000
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 1: four dollars instead of yes, like literally put it on

1001
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,919
Speaker 1: my dad. If I was miss Matthew, I would drive

1002
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 1: my car full speed through the doors of the magistrate's

1003
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 1: office and just say here you go, and nice are

1004
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:44,240
Speaker 1: the keys.

1005
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 3: But listen, it's so crazy. I do appreciate. I'm serious, like,

1006
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 3: I know this is crazy. It's fifty two thousand dollars

1007
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:51,360
Speaker 3: all this time.

1008
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 4: All yeah, appreciate the just I don't know if it's

1009
00:50:54,800 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 4: just pettiness or what it Yeah.

1010
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,399
Speaker 3: I am not wrong and I'm not letting you get

1011
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 3: it away with that. And I love that.

1012
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:06,320
Speaker 4: I do love yeah, and for us and for everybody

1013
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:08,759
Speaker 4: because she said I wasn't wrong. Would I mean, it's

1014
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:11,400
Speaker 4: nuts to go that floor, to go that far into

1015
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 4: it and put you through that much. But I still

1016
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 4: really respect it because she wasn't wrong.

1017
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 3: And that's all.

1018
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:17,359
Speaker 4: No.

1019
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 1: I agree, I know what you're saying. Principle matters. Yeah,

1020
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:24,319
Speaker 1: like and knowledge. There is a number we all have.

1021
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 1: If this is twenty dollars, she would have paid it,

1022
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:29,319
Speaker 1: I think, but uh huh.

1023
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:38,479
