Speaker 1: That's right.

122
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 2: So let's get into this first story and then let's

123
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: find out a little bit more about your podcast. But

124
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 2: right off the bat, I gotta tell you this is

125
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 2: one of my favorite stories that has ever been sent in.

126
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: Okay, this was sent in by you know who.

127
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 4: Me.

128
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: I found this story. No wonder you like it so much.

129
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: That makes a lot of sense your favorite.

130
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 2: This is so Thomas Fitzpatrick, the drunk pilot who landed

131
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 2: a plane on New York City streets twice. Yeah, and

132
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: it was part so I will maybe like do a

133
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 2: couple quotes from this. Here's basically the gist of it.

134
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 2: Around three a m. On September thirtieth, nineteen fifty six,

135
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 2: a World War Two veteran turned airplane pilot Thomas Fitzpatrick

136
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 2: did what seems totally unthinkable. Thomas flew a single engine

137
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 2: plane without lights or radio and landed it perfectly on

138
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 2: an uptown Manhattan street and did it all because of

139
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: a drunken bet. Then two years later, when another drunk

140
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 2: bar drunk patron didn't believe he did it, he did.

141
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: That was me just quoting from you know this website

142
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 2: Bugged Space.

143
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: But I think I'm reading it every day.

144
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 2: This is it's not written by anyone, because I think

145
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: they cribbed this completely from all That's Interesting dot com,

146
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 2: which is where I first found this. But I did

147
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 2: confirm it on the New York Times, who had an

148
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 2: article long ago a pilot landed on an uptown.

149
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: Street that's where the bar was.

150
00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, this guy bet someone at the bar that

151
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 2: he could make it from Jersey to Washington Heights in

152
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes.

153
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:06,239
Speaker 1: The guy took the bet.

154
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 2: He left at two am, took a cab to Titosboro Airport,

155
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: stole a plane, left, took off, took off without lights

156
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 2: and without radio like talking radio talking, you guys know

157
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 2: what radio talking is, and then flew it and then

158
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 2: was gonna land on the Washington Heights High School football field,

159
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: but there was no lights and so it was too dark,

160
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 2: so he had to land on a street with lights.

161
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 2: And he landed and then got out of the plane,

162
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 2: went into the bar, got his money and kept drinking.

163
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 2: Left the plane there. So then in the morning the plane.

164
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: Was just there.

165
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 2: Obviously cops had to like get it towed or however

166
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 2: you get a plane out of Upper Manhattan, and then

167
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: he was just regarded and this is so crazy, this

168
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: is the fifties.

169
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: He was just regarded as a hero.

170
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 2: People were like, like, there was a there was like

171
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 2: a police officer who was quoted as saying, that is

172
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 2: a hundred thousand to one that you could land on

173
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 2: that street because there's like street lights, there's cars parked

174
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 2: on either side, like if he clips one thing, there's

175
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: tall buildings, so it's literally he flew into a canyon

176
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 2: and landed it. And is he drunk and he's wasted.

177
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 2: It's three in the morning when he lands, yeah, and

178
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 2: he thinks he can do it, so he does. He

179
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 2: gets one hundred dollars fine, and it's totally fine. He's

180
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 2: a hero. The New York Times interviews him. He's like,

181
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 2: people are just like this dude's awesome. And then two

182
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 2: years later, some asshole at the bar is like, you

183
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 2: didn't do that, and so he's like, fuck you, I.

184
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: Did it, and then leaves, steals.

185
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 5: A plane again, does the exact same thing again, leaves

186
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 5: the plane there, but then this time people like the

187
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 5: public turns it all turns on him.

188
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and people were like, fuck this guy.

189
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 2: He goes to jail for six months, but then he

190
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: just lived out his life in New Jersey. He had

191
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: a fan buro and he died in two thousand and nine,

192
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 2: just having the craziest story ever.

193
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: And what a great barber, Yeah, a perfect barbe backed

194
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: it up, he really did. Did you ever live Have

195
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: you ever lived in New York City?

196
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 3: I have?

197
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 4: I lived in New York City for a long time.

198
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 4: I think I lived there for twelve twelve or so years.

199
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: TV was based there, right.

200
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I just wow, this is pure New York spirit,

201
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 3: do you know what I mean?

202
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 4: Just the fu to the world, the greatest city in

203
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 4: the world, the only city in the world if you're

204
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 4: living there. Yeah, there's no other city. So I'm not

205
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 4: surprised at the Bravado. I'm more concerned about security at

206
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 4: the airport.

207
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: That yeah, do you know what I mean?

208
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 3: Like he is who he is?

209
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 4: He is, This is right pre nine to eleven. Let's

210
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 4: it seems to me that they should.

211
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 3: Have a padlock.

212
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 4: At least a gate on a something something.

213
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 3: It just to me the second time isn't so much him.

214
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 3: He's going to be who he is.

215
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 4: I want to know what airport that you can just

216
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 4: steal a plane at any time.

217
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Teetersboro.

218
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 2: If anybody wants to steal a plane, apparently very easyeen

219
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 2: fifty eight.

220
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 1: Well, it's like one of those things. Maybe it's those

221
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: old planes. Like I think we all have an idealized

222
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: h image of what we're capable of, and those old

223
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: planes always just imagine you go up to the propeller

224
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: and you say contact, and then you try to spin

225
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: it and it just powers to life, and then the

226
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: plane starts veering a little left and you jump in

227
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: and take off. It seems like something we've all thought of.

228
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm thinking about it. Did you did you

229
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: ever drink at mcsorely's Ale house when you were there?

230
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: I had, I think one drink at mcsorley's once. It's

231
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: it might be the oldest bar, the oldest continuously open bar,

232
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: but mcsorley's had something for over twenty years. Somebody would

233
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,839
Speaker 1: call the bar on Sunday afternoons at like a random

234
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: time on a Sunday, and the bartenders would answer and

235
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: the person would just say your enema is ready and

236
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: then hang up the phone. And this went on every

237
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: single Sunday for like twenty five plus years. They never

238
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: figured out who did it. Different bartenders of generations would

239
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: come in, and it was this thing where some some

240
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: random guy would do some bit where every Sunday afternoon

241
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: he would just call. They would say mcsorley's and he

242
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: would go, your enema is ready and then hang up.

243
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: And then I think he missed like a couple of

244
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: weekends or something, or it stopped for a little bit

245
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: and everybody was like, oh no, that person died, and

246
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: then it started right back up again. But I always

247
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: thought that would be like a great premise for like

248
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: a TV show like that guy's life. Who is that

249
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: person who's like, I'm going to do a bit for

250
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: twenty five years? Yeah, it makes no sense.

251
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 3: He's a flake in every other aspect of his life. Yes,

252
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 3: he doesn't show up for his kid's soccer. No, he

253
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 3: didn't show up for high school graduation.

254
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: Nope.

255
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 4: But my god, is he not gonna miss I mean

256
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 4: that's h I mean, that's that's that's someone who is

257
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 4: out to rule the world. Should that person ever chose.

258
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 4: I mean, it's twenty five years.

259
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: It's like Desmond on Loss just entering those numbers and

260
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 1: not even sure why. It's like let's just keep this going.

261
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: Maybe he thought the world would end if he stopped

262
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: calling and saying your enemy is ready. I don't know. Yeah, No,

263
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: I like it.

264
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 2: I like the actually strange connection between the two of

265
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 2: this idea of like someone who could rule the world

266
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 2: if they actually tried, Because I do feel that about

267
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 2: Thomas Fitzpatrick. If he can land a plane on Upper

268
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 2: Manhattan Street, like he could probably be like the greatest

269
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 2: pilot in the world, and instead he's just doing whatever

270
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 2: fuck he does and then just like do it it

271
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 2: once or twice, you know, Like that's the craziest part

272
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 2: to me, where you see, like this person wasn't in

273
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 2: a bar at three of the boarding, they would really

274
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 2: have done something amazing.

275
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. Kurt used to do this great thing in

276
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: Manhattan and New York where he was a big bike rider,

277
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: ride a work and that sort of thing. And every

278
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: once in a while we would bar crawl together and

279
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: ride bikes through the city and cut down Third Alf

280
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: or whatever. And Kurt when he was riding his bike,

281
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: if someone is hailing a cab, Kurt would high five

282
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: their hands in the air and yell high five and peep.

283
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: And I was always like twenty feet behind Kurt, and

284
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: they would be New York pissed instantly like what the fuck,

285
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: and then kind of be like that was funny. Just

286
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: one hundred high fives all the way down Lexington Avenue.

287
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I remember the last time I did that,

288
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 2: because I did stop doing that. So I had convinced

289
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: I worked fixing computers at a temp agency, and I

290
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 2: had convinced them that we needed to have videos. This

291
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 2: is like two thousand and two or something. I convinced

292
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 2: that we needed to have videos on our website. And

293
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 2: so so I got them to buy this like five

294
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 2: thousand dollars Sony camera and then I use that camera

295
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 2: to like make a lot of videos and comedy, you know,

296
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 2: comedy Martins. So I was it was in my back yeah. Yeah,

297
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 2: So it's in my backpack, just wrapped in a shirt

298
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 2: because that's how I would travel with it, this five

299
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 2: thousand dollars. And I'm riding my bike. I see a

300
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 2: guy he's handling a cab. I high five him, and

301
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: then a dude opens a door right in front of

302
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 2: me and I hit the door, flip over, and then

303
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: bring the camera in half.

304
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 4: Oh.

305
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: But I was just like, oh, no, I'm gonna get fired.

306
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 2: And I hated the job and everything. But then I

307
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 2: went back to work and I just put the car.

308
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 2: It was in two pieces, I put them together and

309
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 2: then put it in a box. And no one to

310
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 2: this day, no one has ever gone in that box

311
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 2: to look at that camera. Victimless crime exactly, A corporation

312
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 2: loses five grand who can.

313
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: Well, that's actually a good segue into Suchin's podcast because

314
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: it's about all things consumer. Yes, tell us about it.

315
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 4: Well, yes, it's a it's a podcast called at to

316
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 4: Cart and like a few people, we uh started this

317
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 4: during the pandemic.

318
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 3: I know it's a novel idea. We did too, very

319
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 3: few people. Yes, So here we are in a storage shed.

320
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 3: So so yeah.

321
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 4: I mean it's a show that you know, really officially,

322
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 4: it's you know, it's about all the things we buy

323
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 4: and what those things say about who we are.

324
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 3: So it's less about.

325
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 4: Us reviewing products or you know, we're not experts by

326
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 4: any stretch of the imagination. But what it is is

327
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 4: it's a very very quick way to get to know

328
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 4: someone quite intimately.

329
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 3: Is what you're buying, what's.

330
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 4: On your credit card statements, and it says a lot

331
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 4: about where we are in life. So that's what the

332
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 4: podcast is about, and we talk about everything.

333
00:16:55,760 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, it's very casual. You talk

334
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: about your travels exactly. I think it's so fun you.

335
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: I was listening to an episode and I got to say,

336
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: I'm throwing my full support behind you. Is you feel

337
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: like we need to change the name of Asian chicken

338
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: salad or Chinese chicken salad to something else because well,

339
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: you were saying you feel shamed, shamed when you order

340
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 1: an Asian.

341
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 3: Help you feel when you order it as well?

342
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: Now in writers rooms, uh, I've been in like TV

343
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: writers rooms where at lunch from Mendocino Farms or one

344
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: of those tender greens, one of the places everybody always goes,

345
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 1: where every single writer is eating a Chinese chicken salad.

346
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,719
Speaker 1: And then at some point you go, why are we

347
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: calling this a Chinese chicken sald? What makes this the

348
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: want the crunchy wantons like this seems offensive?

349
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, sesame chicken salad is a better name for it.

350
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 3: I think it's also accurate. It's also accurate.

351
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 4: I know, I didn't realize that, Uh I had been

352
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 4: doing that for years as an Asian, walking right up

353
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 4: to the front and ordering me an Asian chicken salad,

354
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 4: an Oriental chicken salad, a Chinese chicken salad, and not

355
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 4: thinking one thing you know about it as I marched

356
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 4: down the streets for Asian American identity and pride, then

357
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 4: turning around, going straight to the deli and saying one

358
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 4: Oriental chicken salad extra one time.

359
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 3: No connection there.

360
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 4: Then I moved to Santa Barbara during the pandemic and

361
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 4: from la which is yes, it is actually really nice,

362
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 4: which is you know, I lived Korea near Koreatown, but

363
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 4: here not that not that many Asian people here I.

364
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: Have to sit anyway.

365
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 4: So I was finding myself in deli's doing my usual,

366
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 4: ordering my Asian chicken salad and being like, oh shit,

367
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 4: wait a minute, I've never experienced this before. I'm the

368
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 4: only Asian person in here and probably for about a

369
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 4: three mile radius.

370
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 3: Right, yes, and uh.

371
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 4: And it dawned on me that maybe some things will

372
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 4: have to change. And so this is my platform. You know,

373
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 4: I've I've given up on trying to stop, you know,

374
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 4: solve homelessness or childhood poverty.

375
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: Yes, my platform.

376
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 4: I came on here to tell you in the audience

377
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 4: that I am launching a social campaign.

378
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: We're with you.

379
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 4: Of utmost importance, they're changing do not order Asian chicken

380
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 4: salad anymore. It's a sesame chicken salad. If we all

381
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 4: start saying that, it'll.

382
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: Just change, they got to change it. We're in great

383
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: white men get involved with this and there. This is

384
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: something you can get going on.

385
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 3: You can relate to.

386
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: This easy. Yeah. Well, it's like that thing where whenever

387
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 1: you're in like if you're in a foreign country, like

388
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: I hate when I see other Americans, like if I'm

389
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,040

00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,719
Speaker 1: where it's just like just take it, please God. We

490
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: don't smoke. Why do we have so many ash trays

491
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 1: at our house? Just take it? Oh my god. As

492
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: you get older, you lose your ash trees. I used

493
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: to have like fifteen ash trees, and obviously anymore. I

494
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: also used to.

495
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 2: Smoke, but everyone I knew in my twenties, everyone I

496
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 2: knew smoke.

497
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 3: Course, you steal ash trees, yes, it was. It was

498
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 3: a thing.

499
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: Oh god. The pine glasses I used to steal in

500
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 1: New York City. My whole, my refrigerator and freezer is

501
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: just stolen. I'd like, I've never heard of this craft beer.

502
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: That pint glass is going home with me?

503
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 3: So cool, so cool?

504
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: Where did they go? They went to hell where they're

505
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: waiting for me for being a criminal to meet them.

506
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 2: Maybe it was maybe two two three years ago, right

507
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 2: before the Great Boar. I had dinner with Kristin and

508
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 2: Rich and uh and we were having a drink at

509
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 2: the bar afterwards, and then we were both like we

510
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 2: should walk home. We were in Silver Lake. We wanted

511
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 2: to walk home to feel us or whatever, and uh

512
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 2: and I was like we should just walk with our drinks.

513
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 2: And Kristin and Rich are very uncomfortable at like breaking

514
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 2: the rules, but I convinced them.

515
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 1: I was like, it's okay. You see these glasses. We

516
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 1: can bring these glasses back tomorrow. They won't miss these glasses.

517
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: It's okay.

518
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 2: And then of course Kristin had to tell the part

519
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 2: that we were doing it at the bar. I was like, oh, please,

520
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 2: don't do that, and then we did.

521
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 3: It anyway glasses a night.

522
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, but now we have to feel bad about it

523
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,679
Speaker 2: because they're fully aware that we took three glasses, but

524
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 2: they brought them a that.

525
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 3: You he even. Yeah, there you go.

526
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: Put a lot more into bars than I've taken for bars.

527
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,679

00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: god before cutting into the side of the building to

00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: all the cheese came down on him. And it is

593
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,040

596
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 2: protective cage saved his life. I do believe that is

597
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 2: true friends and family of mister Wiznooski, a Polish man

598
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 2: in his early thirties from Telford, Tropshire, who is about

599
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 2: to get married. I mean that what a way to

600
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 2: lose your spouse. Thank god this worked out. Oh oh

601
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 2: what happened?

602
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: Oh he died. Cheese crushed him. He was about to

603
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: get married. A friends and family cheered when he emerged

604
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: down a ladder from the building. He smiled and chatted

605
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: with paramedics after the rescues and was taken to a hospital.

606
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: More than seventy firefighters worked to save him. The first

607
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: call was received at nine forty am and he was

608
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: freed at six pm. Firefighters will just give them a

609
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: little shout out. They built a bridge of wooden pallets

610
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: to help Wasnowski climb out of the building and yeah,

611
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: it was just multiple agencies came and his daughter said,

612
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: it's a miracle. He walked out. If you can feel

613
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: a sense of relief, we all whooped and cheered and

614
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: we couldn't have asked for any better. I'm relieved to

615
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: know there are two women who will be far more relieved,

616
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: and that's his mother and his fiance. This is just

617
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: a miracle and there we go.

618
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 2: I love the idea that seventy firefighters had to come,

619
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 2: which means that they didn't all arrive at the same time,

620
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 2: you know, like they're coming in drips and drabs, six

621
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 2: at a time, one at a time, twelve at a time,

622
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 2: and each time someone has to be like.

623
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,479
Speaker 1: This dude's under fifty five tons of cheese.

624
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 2: They'll have to be like, what what are you talking about?

625
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 2: Like there must be like an area where it's just

626
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 2: like a staging area to explain the cheese thing, so

627
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 2: that not constantly inside trapped inside. He just tears, what

628
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 2: how much cheese? Like seventy times.

629
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 4: We need more guys, We need more men, We need

630
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 4: more people to get this cheese out.

631
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 3: Of the way.

632
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: Oh boy, but what I don't.

633
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 4: Know if you guys went there, but my brain immediately

634
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 4: went to what is the smell of being buried for

635
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 4: that long under fifty five tons of cheese?

636
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: Yes? Yes?

637
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 2: And also what kind did it mention? What kind of

638
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 2: cheese it was? Is it wrapped or is it free cheese?

639
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. It did not say in my mind, I.

640
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 3: Wanted to be free cheese.

641
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 4: I just wanted to be mounds and mounds of grated parmesian.

642
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 2: You know, right, that's exactly what you want. We all

643
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 2: want that. That just piles of ground already growd barbershot, yes,

644
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 2: fifty five tons, just odd shelves open like a zipper.

645
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 4: You just unziped, unzip it and it just comes wouring

646
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 4: out fifty five tons.

647
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: And Stanley Tucci's just crawling through the whole thing. It sucks,

648
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: It's true. And I wonder for the rest of his

649
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,959
Speaker 1: life if you'll walk in like a cheese shopper deli

650
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: and smell cheese and just get paralyzed with fear, and

651
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: then they'll be like, get him out, there's too much cheese. Stinson.

652
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: I worked in Atlanta at this place called Huey's, which

653
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: was a New Orleans themed restaurant right on Peach Tree.

654
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: And I lived in Land for a year and I

655
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: would work there just brunch shifts, just Saturday and Sunday mornings,

656
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: and all the post church crowd would come. And Hue's

657
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: big sort of bring him in gimmick was they made

658
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: Bignet's And for anybody who doesn't know what bignets are,

659
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: it's like a New Orleans food. It's like a fried

660
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: dose square that puffs up when you fry it, and

661
00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: then you put powdered sugar over it. Very famous New

662
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: Orleans and in Huey's we would sell them by three,

663
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: six or nine's and families would come in after church

664
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: and drink coffee and eat just piles of bignets. So

665
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: they're a guy who cooked them. The beignet cook was

666
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: a I would say sixty five maybe seventy five year

667
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,919
Speaker 1: old Latin American man named Alvi. He was about four

668
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 1: foot ten. He was extremely sweet, all smiles all the time.

669
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if he spoke English or if he

670
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: just chose not to speak to any of the servers,

671
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 1: which honestly I wouldn't either. Smart move. He was always

672
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: wearing like big Johnson's T shirts and Nascar hats. And

673
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 1: there was a separate little window in the kitchen just

674
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: for the beignets. They were that popular. So if you

675
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: weren't running food from the other windows, you would just

676
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 1: grab your bignetes and serve them. And so by we

677
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 1: would open at like eight a m. The church shift

678
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: would really or the push would come through like ten

679
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: or eleven, and by like one pm, Alvi would be

680
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: head to toe covered in powdered sugar head to tell

681
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,280
Speaker 1: like like a little snow I'm standing back there serving

682
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: U Beignet's with a big smile, nicest man ever. So

683
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: I always love this guy. And when you would round

684
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: the corner and look through the little window and see

685
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,919
Speaker 1: his little powder covered face, he would just like pass

686
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: him to you. And so I moved to Brooklyn after that,

687
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: and I was going to be in Atlanta for about

688
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: two weeks. I gave my two weeks and I was like,

689
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm just going to say thank you

690
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: to everybody. I'm going to maybe buy breakfast for everybody

691
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 1: in the kitchen staff. It is like a last sea

692
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: of we'll probably never see each other again. And Alvi

693
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: was not there, and I was like, this is too

694
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: bad because I love that little guy. And I'm driving

695
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 1: home and I see I see Alvi standing at the

696
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: bus stop covered in powder like again, like do you

697
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 1: know we didn't have showers underneath.

698
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 3: Shift.

699
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, post Sunday brunch at Huey's on Peachtree, which is

700
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: no longer there, and there's this little sugar covered snowman

701
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: waiting for the bus, waiting for Marta. So I pull

702
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: over and I'm like, Alvi, it's Scottie. And I was like,

703
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 1: you need a ride and he's like yeah. So he

704
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: gets in and driving, and I had this little crappy

705
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 1: Corolla and I just I'm driving him up to his

706
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 1: place and I've rolled down the windows and it's like

707
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 1: a tornado of sugar in my car, just blowing me

708
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: in the face. I'm covered a powdered sugar. It's going

709
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: out the windows. It just looks like a rolling cocaine

710
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: party right down Piedmont. And then I dropped that nice

711
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: man off and I've obviously never seen him again. I

712
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,320
Speaker 1: went to check on on Hughey's but it did close,

713
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,439
Speaker 1: and I was like, that's my last memory of him.

714
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: That's his last memory of me. Just a little tornado

715
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:36,280
Speaker 1: of sugar driving through when I'm twenty one years old.

716
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,439
Speaker 1: So i'l be I hope you're still aliving out there

717
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 1: and a huge ban animal. I'm sure he's a huge bit.

718
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 3: Oh that's what is. That's what his wife, he calls

719
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 3: him a little tornado sugar.

720
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

721
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 3: Comes home and he says, there he is my.

Speaker 1: I don't know, yeah, but it.

750
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 2: Also looks like maybe it's from IFL Science written by

751
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 2: Madison Dapchevik Dapchum love her.

752
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: She's the best I've ever heard of.

753
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 2: It's not every day you see one hundred and ten kilogram,

754
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty pound dog walking on high legs.

755
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 2: For one family in southwest China, however, that's exactly what

756
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 2: their Tibetan mastiff started doing, sparking some serious questions.

757
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:54,280
Speaker 1: Wow.

758
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 2: While on vacation in twenty sixteen, Suyan brought what she

759
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 2: believed to bought what she believed to be a Tibetan

760
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 2: mastiff to her home in a Chinese village in Yunn Province, China.

761
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 2: The puppy had a voracious appetite, eating for a box

762
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 2: of fruits and two buckets of noodles every day. That's

763
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 2: when you began questioning whether her dog was in fact

764
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,720
Speaker 2: a Tibetan mastiff. A breathing correctly reaches around one hundred

765
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 2: and eighty pounds. Yeah, what is a giant dog? And

766
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 2: also there's a big picture of a Tibetan mastiff kind

767
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 2: of looks like a bear, kind of looks like bear.

768
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 3: I was looking it up. It does look like a bear. Ok,

769
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 3: you can see that. Yeah.

770
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:32,280
Speaker 1: Quote.

771
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 2: The more he grew, the more like a bear he looked,

772
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 2: untold Chinese media. I am a little scared of bears,

773
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 2: except when you called officials. She found out her pet

774
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 2: wasn't a dog or any member of the canine family

775
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,919
Speaker 2: for that matter. In fact, it was an endangered Asiatic

776
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 2: black bear. Footage by a Aingo shows the bears standing

777
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 2: almost three feet tall with very bear like features. I

778
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 2: would say so even though the bear was is the

779
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 2: household pet staff were reportedly so intimidated by the animal.

780
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: Incredible, isn't that credit?

781
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 2: It's ursus to thibetanus is an endangered species.

782
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: And lucky is she that this thing didn't eat her?

783
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: This is crazy.

784
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 2: I mean it's great, that's like, yeah, I mean, it's

785
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 2: just a wild animal like that is the great wonder.

786
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 2: But again, must be adorable? Must a baby bear is adorable? Like?

787
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 4: But I you know, I'm just wondering. So somebody had

788
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 4: an endangered bear. Do you think that they knew that.

789
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:37,439
Speaker 3: They have the bear?

790
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: Yes?

791
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 3: And they it was it was earmarked for another delivery

792
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 3: also highly illegal. Yes, but somehow that got crossed.

793
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,839
Speaker 4: I'm just trying to understand, like where, let's back up

794
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 4: and into the.

795
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 3: Supply chain, so and where you know what I mean

796
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 3: is going on.

797
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: I have answers for you. I have answer.

798
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 3: Okay, what is it? It's probably sad.

799
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 2: It's incredibly sad. Yeah, yeah, yep, yep yeah. So apparently

800
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 2: the reason that it is endangered is that they have

801
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 2: been used for millennia in traditional medicine for their a

802
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 2: chemical found in the bear's bile, its substance producing their

803
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 2: gall blatters used to treat a range of ailments such

804
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 2: as liver disease and traditional Chinese medicine and bear bile farming,

805
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 2: which has a name for it, is legal in China

806
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 2: and often involves keeping bears in very sad conditions. Anyway,

807
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 2: they are sold on the black market to people and

808
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 2: apparently this woman I guess saw it, thought it was

809
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 2: a dog and bought it, right, But the guy was

810
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,439
Speaker 2: selling it so that you could make money I guess,

811
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:47,879
Speaker 2: taking its bile.

812
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,479
Speaker 1: Which is the deepest, saddest part.

813
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 2: So this banana's story started fun, what a fun start,

814
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,720
Speaker 2: and then adds it it's like twenty nineteen.

815
00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean twenty twenty. It was like twenty twenty started.

816
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,760
Speaker 1: Off amazing, was the stories.

817
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 3: Listen twenty twenty.

818
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 4: I thought I was coming to Santa Barbara for a

819
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 4: quick one month Airbnb stay.

820
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 3: You know here I am you.

821
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: Oh, you went right away, you went right.

822
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 3: Oh, I went right away. Let me tell you the harbinger,

823
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:18,359
Speaker 3: the harbinger of what to come.

824
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 4: I didn't know how long it was gonna last, but

825
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:22,399
Speaker 4: I knew I wanted to get out of La. Was

826
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:27,240
Speaker 4: in La there is a very fancy grocery store called Airwan,

827
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 4: and it's unlike any I would say, it's unlike any

828
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 4: other place in the world, and it should never be replicated.

829
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 4: It's not one of those things where we should be

830
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 4: so proud. But it is all that La has to

831
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 4: offer is an Airwan, which is twenty five dollars, green

832
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 4: shakes and you know, adaptogens and all of that.

833
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 3: And I remember going in there, you.

834
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 4: Know, just picking up whatever, a salad or something, yes, alfaline,

835
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 4: wander the La diet and seeing hordes, hordes of vegans

836
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:11,240
Speaker 4: with three four carts filled with very expensive vegan snacks

837
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 4: and thinking this is the end of the world.

838
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 3: Were like, I got to get out of here.

839
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,319
Speaker 4: If this is, If this is what I'm going to

840
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 4: be looking at for the unforeseeable future, I'm good, Like

841
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 4: I don't want to be around this.

842
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 3: So yeah, So I came to Yah Sana Barbara during

843
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 3: right in the beginning, during all of it.

844
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 2: That's so smart that you got at immediately like that.

845
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 2: That just that says you're a smart person to just

846
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 2: be like I'm going there is you must have been

847
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:38,959
Speaker 2: on the verge of leaving for a long time as well.

848
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 3: Yes, but I think that's la. Isn't that la? Aren't

Speaker 3: You know, New Zealand, keep moving.

853
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 4: This is this is when you come here to think about,

854
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 4: you know, where you want to be. That's LA and

855
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 4: then you're there for you know, thirty five years.

856
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:07,959
Speaker 3: But so, yes, I had always thought it up there.

857
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: Kurt did stand up at UC Santa Barbara like two

858
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 1: years ago, and I went up to watch and we

859
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: were like, Hey, let's have a friend night. I'll come up,

860
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: we'll get a hotel, I'll watch you d stand up

861
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 1: in an auditorium. It was wonderful. Do you remember this.

862
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 3: That's cute.

00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 1: The first two bars we went to, we're like, well,

865
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:27,439
Speaker 1: used to do all the time. In the first two

866
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:31,359
Speaker 1: places we went, including the hotel bar, just nobody served us.

867
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: We just sat there for twenty five minutes waiting to

868
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: be served. Then we were like, let's just walk to

869
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 1: the other other bar. Walk to another bar, sit at

870
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: the end of the bar, just nobody serves us, and

871
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 1: we're like, well, let's go to this other bar. So

872
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 1: we go to this weird ass speak Easy. Remember we

873
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: had to walk like through two parking lots.

874
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 2: It was like it was a weird speak Easy, but

875
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 2: it definitely was. It like, but it was behind a

876
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,800
Speaker 2: strip mall, so it's like you walk around the back

877
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 2: of the strip mall.

Speaker 1: I mean, colic, I know you've worn.

893
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 4: I was pretty pretty sweet, except for the problem, you know,

894
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,360
Speaker 4: the Asian chicken solid problem.

895
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: Other than.

896
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 3: Other than that, this lace is heaven. But I'm changing that.

897
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, Santa Barbara is ground zero sesame chicken salad revolution.

898
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,240
Speaker 2: I was up in your neck of the woods last

899
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 2: week on vacation. We went to Ventura and I took

900
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 2: my daughter, My daughter's four and a half, and she

901
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 2: wanted to go on a boat, and so I was like, okay,

902
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 2: so we're gonna rent like this little electric boat and

903
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:18,359
Speaker 2: like and put around the Ventura Harbor. And we had

904
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 2: done it last year when we were up there, and

905
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 2: she tried to drive the whole time, but she she

906
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 2: was three at the time, and so she would just

907
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 2: drive it into things and so I had to like

908
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 2: stop her from driving, and then she like lost it

909
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 2: and it was a meltdown.

910
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 1: It was horrible. So she really wanted to go.

911
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,439
Speaker 2: A get it, and so I sat her down before

912
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 2: we left and I said, Olive, you have to understand

913
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 2: that you cannot drive the boat. Papa has to drive

914
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 2: the boat. And she just was quiet and stared at

915
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 2: me and blinked like really slowly.

916
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 1: Like five times, and then processing, I have to go

917
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:55,720
Speaker 1: think about it. And then.

918
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 2: She went into her room and she laid a face

919
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 2: down on her bed for about five minutes. And then

920
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 2: we like are going on talking about something else, and

921
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 2: then she comes back out and she just says, I'll

922
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 2: allow it. And then we started laughing, and she was

923
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 2: so confused as to why we were laughing at I'll

924
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:21,919
Speaker 2: allow it.

925
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 3: No, because she this was a serious thing. She deliberated.

926
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 4: She reached back into you know that place that that

927
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 4: Buddha lies, She asked her.

928
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 3: She asked her Source. She said, Source, what would you do?

929
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: Can I ride the boat without driving the boat?

930
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 3: And Source said, I'll allow it.

931
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 1: I love that kind of stuff. I love that when

932
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 1: kids are in their own world, they're having these own

933
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:53,359
Speaker 1: crowd found moments, they're really working it out. I don't

934
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: know if I told this one we were I was

935
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 1: at a bar with Shanali and another friend of ours, Meg,

936
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:03,359
Speaker 1: and she Meg had like three sons and she we

937
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,680

938
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 1: he's pretty self sufficient. He goes around, he's like the

939
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 1: five year old's really fun. And then they have a

940
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 1: two year old and the two year old she's washing

941
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 1: her son's hair, giving him a bath, and her little

942
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 1: son gets an erection while like getting a bath. Totally

943
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 1: normal things for a little kid to do. And but

944
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 1: she was like, you know, I know, She's like I

945
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:27,800
Speaker 1: thought about this for years with my first two sons,

946
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:29,799
Speaker 1: but now they're two old and it's too embarrassing. But

947
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: I always was wondering, like why this was happening. So

948
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: she's sitting on the toilet just pouring water over her

949
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 1: son's head and she's like, hey, what do you what

950
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 1: do you think about? Like what are you thinking about?

951
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:46,439
Speaker 1: And the son does the same thing, yeah, like research, yeah,

952
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:51,239
Speaker 1: what are you thinking about? Yeah? And so this little

953
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:52,800
Speaker 1: boy is sitting in like, you know, a couple of

954
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 1: inches of water and wait, you know, what are you

955
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 1: thinking about? And he looks at her and blinks, this

956
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,399
Speaker 1: is why he reminded me, And then like looks down

957
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 1: at like the water, and then looks back up at

958
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 1: her and just says weaponry. She was like, why does

959
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: he know the word weaponry? So my son gets an

960
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 1: erection thinking about guns and stuff and missiles. I mean it.

961
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:21,320
Speaker 3: Starts, young guys, right at least you know it's consistent.

962
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, that's where it all comes from.

963
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 4: It's yeah, it's it's it comes from, you know, honest,

964
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 4: most honest place.

965
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:32,959
Speaker 3: Boy.

966
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 2: I love an inappropriately complex word for a child.

967
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 1: Yes, I love throws.

968
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 2: Them out all the time. And like, who the fuck

969
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 2: said that to you? Like where you learning translation?

970
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: Yes?

971
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, okay, give us one more to put us

972
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 2: to bed.

973
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,320
Speaker 1: Scott all right, asshurty for the road. So I was

974
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 1: listening to your podcast. You guys, you guys do you

975
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 1: talk about books a lot, which I appreciate a lot

976
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 1: of people never talk well books and nobody reads anymore.

977
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 1: And I actually was listening and I and I'm gonna

978
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: download some books from your podcast, and you and I

979
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 1: have a neutral feeling of graphic novels, which I respect,

980
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 1: so very neutral books.

981
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 2: Honestly, my issue with I enjoy graphic novels because they

982
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 2: usually are about things that I'm very interested in including space,

983
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 2: but I can't. I don't. I want to move too quickly.

984
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 2: I want more information. So I'm not appreciating I'm not

985
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 2: appreciating the art. I'm just like, why are there only

986
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 2: three words on this page? Give me the next three?

987
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 2: And like, I just find myself having to flip the

988
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:39,840
Speaker 2: page so often that it drives me crazy. I know

989
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 2: it's my problem, not the book's problem. I should slow

990
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 2: down and be in the moment more.

991
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 1: But good, that's okay, all right. This one is sent

992
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 1: in by Bananimal CNT zero zero two. Her name is Candace.

993
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Candace. Suspicious package outside sister's library

994
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 1: turns out to be books. So this was written by

995
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: This was written for Central Organ Daily and Kurt. You

996
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: know who wrote it. The Central Organ Daily news sources.

997
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 2: You know sources, not even news staff, news sources. The

998
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 2: sources wrote the story. The librarians wrote the story.

999
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 1: The sources wrote the story. This happened literally last week.

1000
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:28,240
Speaker 1: The Shoots County Sheriff's Office responded to a suspicious package

1001
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: left outside the sisters library Tuesday, prompting the Organ State

1002
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: Police bomb squad. The package was full of books.

1003
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 4: After the cheese, they went from the cheese debacle Street

1004
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 4: straight to this emergency.

1005
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 1: I know, these poor bastards are just zooming all over

1006
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 1: because well, the cheese guy needed rescuing the books. Maybe

1007
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 1: maybe we can open that package. Sheriff's office tweeted at

1008
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 1: twelve thirty pm that this from the scene. They urged

1009
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 1: people to avoid the area. Then they updated the tweet

1010
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 1: a few minutes later, saying all was clear it was

1011
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:04,360
Speaker 1: just books. Later Tuesday, the library issued a statement on

1012
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:08,400
Speaker 1: Twitter reminding residents that the library does not accept book donations.

1013
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 1: There you go, whether they're open or closed. The Sister's

1014
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: Library is now welcoming everybody back and open, So stop

1015
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 1: dropping your books off at Sister's Library.

1016
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 3: It's too or any library.

1017
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:24,400
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, I think it's that's probably not acceptable

1018
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:25,400
Speaker 4: in this day and age.

1019
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 3: Yes, but let's not go too dark. Let's not let's keep.

1020
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 1: It on the high notes, mail them to friends.

1021
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 3: But yes, that's probably not what we're doing.

1022
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 4: There's unmarked packages outside public buildings.

1023
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 1: There's a book deposit.

1024
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 2: There's got to be a deposit, guys, it's built into

1025
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 2: the library.

1026
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: Just slide them on in.

1027
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 3: But there is.

1028
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:49,760
Speaker 4: Something you know, you know what I mean? It harkens

1029
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 4: back to an era when you could do that. You know,

1030
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 4: it's probably someone maybe in my mind it was you know,

1031
00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 4: an older maybe resident used to do that all the

1032
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:03,320
Speaker 4: time and didn't understand their new rules.

1033
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 1: Now you know, we're mad.

1034
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 2: We're mad that the library wasn't open at six oh

1035
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:10,839
Speaker 2: one am and so just dropped their box of.

1036
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 1: Books and walked away. They used to get a nickel

1037
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 1: and go buy a couple of licorice whips and then

1038
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 1: ride their penny farthing back to the farm. It was

1039
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: a better time, I can tell.

1040
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what as that I go to the

1041
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 2: library now every week because we need to get like

1042
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 2: thirty new books for Olive because she just goes through them.

1043
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 1: And so we get like thirty new books every week.

1044
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:36,800
Speaker 1: And I I love the library. I love the library.

1045
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:41,240
Speaker 2: It's such a deep, deep level I and I didn't

1046
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 2: realize it until I start going back to the library.

1047
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 2: And I think the last time I spent a lot

1048
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 2: of time in the library was like college.

1049
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 1: And I loved it. Then. I just love a library.

1050
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 1: I love all the services. I love that it's fully public.

1051
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 2: I love that it's free to everybody, that everybody is

1052
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 2: serviced and there's services for anyone who needs them, and

1053
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 2: that it's quiet and it's a very pleas I like

1054
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:04,320
Speaker 2: to smell everything. I want to celebrate libraries and librarians.

1055
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:05,359
Speaker 2: I have no story for that.

1056
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:09,720
Speaker 1: It's okay, we'll dedicate this episode to librarians everywhere. Thanks

1058
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:17,120

1059
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,880
