Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I have. I have I have a

35
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: multiple friends that were just from Twitter back in the day.

36
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's nice. Yeah, Twitter used to be cool. It

37
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: used to be telling jokes. Now it's just telling everybody

38
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: what's wrong with them and why you hate each other.

39
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: But it used to be just funny people trying to

40
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: make each other.

41
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: Laugh and really really dumb jokes, like a lot of

42
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: wordplay and puns. It was a very enjoyable all right,

43
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: nice story. This is what we do on bananas minisos.

44
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: We tell your stories, then we tell our stories.

45
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: Heard of it?

46
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: Easy, here's god, here's one. Let's get us started. I

47
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: love it. This was emailed in by Ashley Buker.

48
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 2: Thank you, Ashley. Buker.

49
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 1: First of all, I've never wanted to be real life

50
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 1: friends with two people so badly. Okay, storytime, there we go.

51
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 2: That is a natural segue. It might happen, mm hmm.

52
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: I went to law school part time in the evenings,

53
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: so the cast of characters was way more diverse than

54
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: quote normal law school because most of us were working

55
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: and old with families. First off, cool, move to go.

56
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: I mean law school, law school at night, That's awesome.

57
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: I would love to go back to school at some point.

58
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:10,399
Speaker 2: Me too.

59
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 1: I don't know what I would study, but philosophy probably. Harry,

60
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: one of my best friends, was quite a bit older

61
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: than me, maybe ten to fifteen years. She was also

62
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: the type of person who, if you spent enough time

63
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: around her, you could tell she had serious money, but

64
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: it wasn't obvious. She would do things like offer an

65
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: antique Persian rug to you if you mentioned you liked it,

66
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: because she had quote a bunch more in the attic

67
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: no big yes. Yeah. When we took the bar exam,

68
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: we shared a hotel room at the convention center, so

69
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: neither of us had to deal with the stress of

70
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: driving and parking on the mornings of the test. The

71
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: night after the first day of testing. Whoa, it's multiple

72
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: days of testing. I didn't know. We had a glass

73
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: of wine to decompress, and she told me the story

74
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: that finally pushed me over the edge to say, normal

75
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: people do not have these stories. Where the fuck did

76
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: all your money come from?

77
00:03:58,680 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: Yeah?

78
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: No shit, story told from her perspective in the sweetest

79
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: southern drawl. So this was the story that made her

80
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: ask the question of where did everybody.

81
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: Come Okay, I got you quote.

82
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: A few years back, my husband and I were at

83
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: the Vatican and I decided I wanted to purchase a

84
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: piece of art. I chose something. I chose something in

85
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: one of the gift shop galleries. When I went to pay,

86
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: the gallerying me up noticed my black amex and said, oh,

87
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: you don't want this art. You want the art that's

88
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: in the basement. Did you know there's a basement in

89
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: the Vatican. I sure didn't. So she called someone over

90
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: to take us downstairs and show us the basement art.

91
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: We were walking through all of these tunnels and I

92
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: noticed buckets on the ground along the way. They were

93
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: filled with penises, marble penises.

94
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks for the clarification.

95
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: It turns out one of the popes decided that it

96
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: wasn't proper to have penises on display, so he ordered

97
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: all of them to be chiseled off of all the

98
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: sculptures in on Now it's someone's full time job to

99
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: try to match up the right penis with the right statue.

100
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: But there are just dozens and dozens of buckets of

101
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: penises in the basement of the Vatican.

102
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 2: Incredible wild uh.

103
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: And then she finishes up with Honestly, that's probably the

104
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: most important thing I learned in my bar exam prep experience.

105
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: If I had known that this was a violent profession,

106
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: I never would have gone to law school at all.

107
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: Cheers Ashley Pepotone. Oh it's Ashley Pepatone, Ashley buck or

Speaker 2: Good.

111
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: I remember we were making fun of the magazine Super

Speaker 1: Lawyers on one episode and she mersaged in was like,

113

00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: uh mailed in and been like, it's actually kind of

115
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: a prestigious magazine.

116
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 2: It's a big deal. Yeah, well good for you. Sorry,

117
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 2: we're Bozo's never let clowns ruin your your per.

118
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: But also I want to I still want to say something,

119
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: honestly to the editors of Super Lawyer. You could call

120
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: it something else. Yeah, super Lawyer, it's a dumb name.

121
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: It's a silly name. It's you want to have fun.

122
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: It's fun. But that doesn't sound serious.

123
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds like somebody had the idea and they

124
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 2: asked their kid, and the kid named it and away

125
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: it stayed. So buckets of marble ding dongs in the

126
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 2: basement of the Vatican, yeah, baby, unbelievable. I mean, that's

127
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: got to be really strange to see just anywhere in life,

128
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: even in a sculpture museum, you would be like, well,

129
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 2: that's weird.

130
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: Also, if there's that she said, there's dozens of buckets,

131
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: dozens of buckets of penises.

132
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 2: That pretty cool job.

133
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: Also, what a confusing job that you have to take. So,

134
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: like I wonder, if I wonder, I'm trying to figure

135
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: out like how the how it works. Is it that

136
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: they choose one statue who has had its penis chiseled

137
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: off and then take one bucket up to it and

138
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: then try and fit penis after penis after penis, And

139
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: if that doesn't work, they go get another bucket and

140
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: try fit penis after penis after penis onto the statue. Also, sorry,

141
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: if there's kids.

142
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 2: In the in the room, we're saying all the correct words,

143
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: they're gonna hear it somewhere, guys. It might all be

144
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 2: on a podcast called bananas. It's like that game Concentration,

145
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 2: wasn't that what it was called. We had to push

146
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 2: the thing down and put all the shapes in with

147
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 2: the timer, and if you did it and it would

148
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 2: pop up, that game was the most anxiety driven. That

149
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 2: game made Operation look like just a snooze in the park.

150
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 2: Concentration or Classic Concentration, whatever it was called, that game

151
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 2: was so stressful. Yeah. Also, now that I'm saying it,

152
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: that would be a really fun bar game where if

153
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 2: you can like do it, you get a free shot.

154
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,679
Speaker 2: So if you, if you're a bar owner, bar manager,

155
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 2: get on eBay, get on Etsy, buy that game, which

156
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 2: I think is called Concentration, and I'll come and play.

157
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: There's also there's also another version that uses something similar,

158
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: but it's like a dome that you press down and buy.

159
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: Pressing down the dome it rattles the dice and it

160
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: like pops up, and I remember the ad for it

161
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: was just a small boy going, oh, I've got a headache.

162
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: I think it's called headache.

163
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 2: Okay, it was called perfection, not concentration.

164
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: Perfection is more of an anxiety inducing name.

165
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, perfection. If you've never played it, google it, instagram it,

166
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 2: have fun with it. But yeah, I would love that

167
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 2: at a bar. Who doesn't love that?

168
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: Perfect It's a perfect There was this.

00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 2: Guy this is a side thing off of a side

170
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 2: side thing off of you, saying that she was offering

171
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 2: rolled up like Turkish rugs or whatever. When I was

172
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: a freshman at college, my parents helped me move in

173
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 2: literally day one, and there were there were always vendors

174
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 2: selling dorm room carpets and rugs. Right. It was like, hey,

175
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 2: these are fifty bucks, these are many bucks, these are

176
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 2: twenty bucks. And this one guy was selling him for

177
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 2: ten dollars and we went over and they were like

178
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 2: wrapped in plastic or whatever, and my dad gave him

179
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 2: ten bucks and we carried up and I had a

180
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 2: rug and so then.

181
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: Because you had you had just like tiles on the

182
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: on the ground.

183
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 2: It was just cold til twenty first floor, twenty one eleven.

184
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 1: The first floor.

185
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, there twenty two story dorm rooms in Southwest

186
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 2: in UMass I think there were five towers. And we

187
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: used to yell at each other across the towers, and

188
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 2: we all befriended each other because we were the funniest

189
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 2: at yelling stuff, and so my sketch team my freshman year,

190
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 2: we would all yell taunts at each other, but they

191
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 2: were never like, I don't know, your typical taunt, were

192
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: just like yelling the F word or something. My buddy

193
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 2: Skip used to he had a really good Boston accent.

194
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 2: He used to just compare all the different towers to

195
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 2: hair metal bands. But he would be like, yeah, building

196
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 2: his rat, you're building his poison. And then he would

197
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 2: be like, what guns and roses? You guys a winger

198
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 2: And it was we were like, we got to figure

199
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 2: out who this is. So we would be like, go

200
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 2: down the elevator and we would like meet. We made

201
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 2: friends that way. It was very strange. So I saw

202
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 2: the same guy that sold me my rug at the

203
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 2: end of the year when I was rolling up and

204
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 2: throwing out my rug into a dumpster, and all he

205
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 2: would do is wait till the end of the He

206
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 2: would go to the dumpster, take them all back out.

207
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Then he would just unroll them and

208
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 2: he would stack him under his house and then sell

209
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: him the next year. So he just was like it

210
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 2: was just some weird stay getting its own tail where

211
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 2: he was just beautiful. So all it cost him was

212
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 2: his gas in his pickup truck, and then he would

213
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 2: put him in the cross space and then like beat

214
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 2: him out a little bit, wrap them in sheep plastic,

215
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: and then sell them next to the freshman the next year.

216
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: Oh that's just so smart.

217
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 2: Not hygienic, but very good business.

218
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: Speaking of a tall dorm room, I remember I we

219
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: lived on the seventh floor, and I remember like an

220
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,880

Speaker 3: like if the building disappeared and I was just up

228
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,400

Speaker 2: delivered for years and have seen a vast spectrum of crazy.

250
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 2: We could probably do a main episode of Bananas that

251
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 2: was all delivery stories. Let's dedicate this Minnesota to delivery drivers.

254
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 2: went to college in Fargo, North Dakota, and I needed

255
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 2: some money, so I decided to start working at a

256
00:12:52,520 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 2: restaurant called Spicy Pie. Called spic Spicy Pie just so

257
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: sexual sound. I know Spicy Pie as a delivery driver

258
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 2: slash stone person.

259
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: That was me when I was a delivery person.

260
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we used to dye the pizza dough red

261
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 2: to illustrate the spicy They're doing things different in Fargo.

262
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 2: Nobody's ever said that before. They're doing things different in Fargo,

263
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: North Dakota. One chili, but sunny Sunday afternoon. We get

264
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 2: a regular order for two large pies. We whip them

265
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 2: up and I scoot my car, scoot to my car

266
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 2: and take a hit out of my one hitter, as

267
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 2: you do with every delivery. I pull up to a

268
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 2: baby blue house with beautiful white trim. Look at this.

269
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 2: This is what it's good storytelling, folks. Good story in

270
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,599
Speaker 2: the biz, best in the biz. Leave no detail unturned.

271
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 2: It really stands out next to the homes with what

272
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 2: I can describe with the other homes with what I

273
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 2: could only described as a quote, Methy, look, I walk

274
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 2: up to the front door and it has a lion

275
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 2: knocker on the front. You know you're in deep shit,

276
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 2: feeling loose because of the one hitter. I go for

277
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: the knocker instead of the doorbell. Quote. I think I

278
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 2: am very fun end quote. I think to myself. I

279
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 2: use the lion knocker, and an older white man with

280
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 2: no hair and only a white bathroob in almost like

281
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 2: the one you'd see in a hotel answers the door

282
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 2: and he goes come inside, Pizza many pizza man, Come inside,

283
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 2: Pizza man. He leads me down a hallway with nothing

284
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 2: but frame pictures of owls on the walls, and finally

285
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 2: we walk into the kitchen, where six other people, all

286
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 2: wearing robes are looking very sweaty. I put down the

287
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 2: pizza and give him the receipt to sign, and everyone

288
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 2: starts digging in as the guy with the receipt says,

289
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 2: only special guests use that knocker and gives me a wink.

290
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 2: They weren't even using plates. They were just eating pizza

291
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 2: straight from the box to their mouths. Now I'm pretty

292
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: high and waking up to the idea that I might

293
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 2: have just delivered pizza to a neighborhood orgy who doesn't

294
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 2: love that Fargo sunny Sunday afternoon orgy. So all I

295
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 2: could say was have a nice rest of your night

296
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 2: at two pm. Oh and then I ran out the door.

297
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 2: But he did leave me ten bucks on a forty

298
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 2: dollars bill, so not that nice. I was afraid my

299
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 2: boss would know I was stoned if I told them

300
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 2: the story, so I kept it all to myself. I

301
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 2: loved the podcast and can't wait to see the live

302
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 2: show in Chicago. Nick Cartwright Comedy following Instagram so much. Nick,

303
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 2: that's a great story, really good story, probably really common.

304
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 2: I bet we have some delivery people listening to this

305
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 2: now that are like, oh, yeah, I've had that before.

306
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: I wonder if the lion knocker is is like a

307
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: swinger thing, because now that we're learning more, you know,

308
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: we had that mini so far. Apparently, if you have

309
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: flamingos facing each other in your yard, that's like a

310
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: sign that they're you're swingers. I wonder if a lion

311
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: knockers that in that world of signals or if it

312
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: just means like, I got a fun knocker and you

313
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: chose the fun option instead of ringing the doorbell, you

314
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Yeah?

315
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, I don't know. I mean I think he

00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 2: did a perfectly good job. This is a perfect interaction.

317
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 2: You got a good story out of it, you got

318
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 2: a huge tip out of it. This is like a

319
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 2: perfect night.

320
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I am. I remember I was doing deliveries. I

321
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: delivered for Dominoes and it was was in Neptune, New Jersey,

322
00:16:53,120 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 1: and and a guy tried to mug me with a

323
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: bat from my car.

324
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 2: He took your own bat? Whoa he had a hat?

325
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: Oh, he had a bat. I was in the car

326
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: and I was like, do you realize like that this

327
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: doesn't gonna work for you? Yeah, I'm gonna drive away

328
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: or over like started coming at me with a bat.

329
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: I drove just drove away. Yeah, this isn't the way

330
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: this is gonna work.

331
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, screw to that guy. I was a valet at

332
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:30,239
Speaker 2: the River Cafe in Brooklyn for one summer, but I

333
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 2: was there for about seven months, six months. It was

334
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 2: one of the most fun jobs I've ever had. There's

335
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 2: a lot of young, aspiring people and we would get

336
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 2: like the older guys, the sort of head valet guys,

337
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 2: or they just had every scam going imaginable. They would

338
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 2: sell single cigarettes for two bucks. They would if somebody

339
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 2: was like, can you help me get a taxi? We

340
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 2: had our own black car guys that work for us,

341
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 2: so if it was a ride to Manhattan, they would

342
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 2: give us kickbacks of five, seven or ten dollars, depending

343
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 2: how far up in Manhattan. They were going like, if

344
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 2: you're working all the scams correctly, we never stole anything.

345
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 2: We like, we never took loose change. The one guy

346
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 2: got fired because he put the Yankees game on somebody's

347
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 2: radio and they complained to the manager. So it was

348
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 2: it was above board as far as people's property was going.

349
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: Oh, that sucks so much, that's all it was. It's

350
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: like a guy was listening to the Yankees in the

351
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: car yea, and the guy noticed and then complained. The

352
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: guy got fired.

353
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 2: That sucks, yeah, but it taught me a ton. First

354
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 2: of all. It's like, if you're going to a restaurant

355
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,199
Speaker 2: that's one hundred dollars prefiks per person, tip the person

356
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 2: inside of your car more than one dollar when it's free.

357
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 2: Valet because like that person, the things of LA could

358
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 2: do to you if they wanted to. They can hit

359
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 2: on your GPS home, they can go exactly where you live.

360
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 2: They could make copies of your keys, they can make

361
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 2: copies of your house keys. They could pop your trunk

362
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 2: and steal your putter out of your golf bag and

363
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 2: you'd never know it. Like it is crazy how much

364
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 2: you can learn about somebody from their car. And also

365
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 2: just they're like they're little, they're little ticks, Like you know,

366
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 2: do they what cigarettes? Do they smoke? What their folders are?

367
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 2: Always in that car? You're like, oh, I could just

368
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 2: read all their work papers. What I'm saying is treat

369
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 2: your valleys really well, or you're in a mountain of shit.

370
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 2: But there's this one guy who was in the mob.

371
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 2: He was in the Italian mafia, and he owned a

372
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 2: two bakeries and he owned two funeral parlors. Wow, And

373
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 2: he drove an old Cadillac kind of a classical eel

374
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 2: and he was like who are you? When I was

375
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 2: new first day, he would only come at lunch and

376
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 2: I'd go, yeah, hey, I'm Scottie and he's like you're new.

377
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 2: I was like yeah, he goes, I'm ten and a pen,

378
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 2: And I go what, he goes, I'm ten in a pen.

379
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 2: And he handed me a pen from his funeral parlor

380
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 2: with a ten dollar bill tipped in the little clip.

381
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 2: And every single time I parked his car for the

382
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 2: rest of the time, he'd go, hey man, I'm ten

383
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 2: in a pen, and he'd hand me a pen with

384
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 2: a ten dollar bill folded up in it. I loved him.

385
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 2: The pens were great, Like the last one just ran

386
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 2: out of ink?

387
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me?

388
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 2: Just thirteen years later? And and a ten dollars tip

389
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 2: is such a classy tip, especially for lunch. And so

390
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 2: his car wasn't It was an old Caddy because he

391
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 2: just was like old school guy drive, you know, driving

392
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 2: some old thing. But hey man, I'm ten and a pen.

393
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 2: And then every like fifth time he would bring this

394
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 2: role a big loaf of bread with had like pepperoni

395
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 2: and all this stuff baked into it. And so he

396
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 2: would park the car, he goes, hey, there's something in

397
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 2: the back seat for you, And then you'd reach in

398
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 2: the back seat and get a free loaf of bread

399
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 2: that we would all split amongst us. And then a

400
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 2: pen and a ten dollars. It was the best. I

401
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 2: missed ten and a pen. Uh and who knows lifelong criminal?

402
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: But hey, so you have no idea who who he was,

403
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: like what his real name was?

404
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 2: No, I never knew his real name, and I don't

405
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 2: remember the name of the bakery or the funeral homes.

406
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 2: But I'm guessing they were fronts. He was an older guy.

407
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 2: He was probably in his early seventies, so I would

408
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 2: hope he's still alive, but I don't know. But I

409
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 2: always thought that was the coolest little gimmick, Like it's

410
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 2: so old school to call yourself a nickname a I'm

411
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 2: ten and a pen. I love that so much. I

412
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 2: got we gotta think of those for ourselves in life.

413
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 2: You need a thing for that, especially in La where

414
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 2: everywhere takes valet.

415
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, well who what actor always gave everybody a letter opener?

416
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 2: Oh? I don't know.

417
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,000
