1
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: World.

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 2: Would you believe.

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: Your mindsillion pieces?

4
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 3: Would you.

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: Bananas?

00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 3: whatever comes to mind. It's also a great chance for

10
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 3: Kurt and I to catch up, say, hey, see what's

11
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 3: going on in the week. Uh, that is my favorite

12
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 3: standup comedian and banana in law Kurt Brown Oler.

13
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: That is my banana in law, Scottie Landis. The law

14
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: of being, of hosting a podcast together is what binds

15
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: us to each other. Yeah, but how are you doing, Bud?

16
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 3: I'm doing so great. I went I went golfing yesterday

17
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 3: with my good buddy Mikey and I don't I'm not

18
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 3: a big golfer. You're not a golfer. There's nothing about

19
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 3: the Banana Boys that says golf carts.

20
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: Nope.

21
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 3: But while I was playing, it was very fun. You know,

22
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 3: you drink some beers, you drive around a golf cart.

23
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 3: I'm like, the irony is Kurt and I are not

24
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 3: golf guys, but we are absolutely pro drinking and golf

25
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 3: cart driving. What is it about drinking and driving in

26
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 3: a golf cart. That like, I don't mean being loaded,

27
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 3: but why is drinking a beer and driving a golf

28
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 3: cart so much more fun than driving a car that

29
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 3: can do anything? More fun than a go cart. It's

30
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 3: the little wheels. It's so fun.

31
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: It's the little wheels. And it's also it's the it's

32
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: the the feeling that it's it's it's closer to a

33
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: chair that rolls than a car, do you know what

34
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: I mean? A car at this point, like safety is paramount.

35
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: We were in it. We feel very disconnected from the world.

36
00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: I think when you're in a golf cart, you're like

37
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: I'm in a chair and I'm shooting down the street. Yeah,

38
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: which is why fun South Carolina is so fun, right

39
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: around around Charleston where you can get all those where yeah,

40
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: zoom around on a golf cart. Got it so fun?

41
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 3: Well, And I think it's also something like because there

42
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 3: are cart paths, but you don't have to stay on

43
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 3: them most of the time. So it's like also the

44
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 3: fantasy of like when you're driving on the road and

45
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 3: you see a field, how fun it would be just

46
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 3: like pull off the road, just drive your car through

47
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 3: a field. Golf cart's like, do it? Do it? You

48
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 3: got to get over to that little ball. Go do it? Oh?

49
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: Are you allowed to drive the golf cart on the.

50
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 3: On the fairway? Yeah, oh, I had no idea.

51
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: I thought you had to keep them on the little

52
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: little paths. Never golf before.

53
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 3: I don't know that it's so fun. Like I think

54
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 3: as my old man job, I think when I retire

55
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 3: from writing or whatever, I think I want to work

56
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 3: at a golf course, even though I don't really enjoy

57
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 3: golf that much. Okay, it's just pleasant to drive around

58
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 3: on nice cut grass. Yeah.

59
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: No, I mean like, look, I like walking. I like

60
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: drinking and walking.

61
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 3: Absolutely great kidding two of the best things.

62
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: Two of my favorite activities, walking and drinking.

63
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 3: That'd be yeah, it's a drink. It is pretty fun.

64
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 3: Uh uh. So we do confessions on.

65
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: These confession stories whatever you call them, anecdotes.

66
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 3: We asked topics, we asked for wedding drama confessions, and

67
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 3: we asked for neighbor complaints or neighbor revenge, and we

68
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 3: got I would say, one hundred great ones. And that's great.

69
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 3: You get through as many as we can. Here's a

70
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 3: very straightforward one and to anybody who's listening to this

71
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 3: for the first time. We don't say anybody's names. These

72
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 3: are always anonymous. We don't want to get you in trouble,

73
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 3: but uh we love that you're all naughty. I had

74
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 3: a neighbor that had five or six wiener dogs. I

75
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 3: already a problem, already a problem.

76
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: But also just refusing to call them docs sin. This

77
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: is my is my favorite, especially once once you have

78
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: five or six of them. They're wiener dog It's absolutely weak.

79
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: You don't have five or six ducks and no, a

80
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: responsible person has one docks and a docson is a

81
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: name for a responsible dog owner. You have five or six,

82
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: them's wiener dogs.

83
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is that's a pack of wiener dogs. Yeah.

84
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 3: They barked a non stop at us when I would

85
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 3: walk by with my Australian shepherd. They were not nice

86
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:26,239
Speaker 3: wiener dogs. One day, one day, the owner was trying

87
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 3: to walk some all of them at once, and for

88
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 3: some reason decided to drop all their leashes. Oh so

89
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 3: imagine this.

90
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: Five or six wiener dogs being walked all at the

91
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: same time as.

92
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 3: A dragon leashes, running at you with their little weird legs. Yeah,

93
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 3: all of them charged at my dog ready to attack.

94
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 3: So I picked up my dog he weighs sixty pounds,

95
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 3: to keep him away from getting bombarded and bit by

96
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 3: all of them. The owner never said sorry, didn't say

97
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 3: anything at all, just casually walked back inside like nothing

98
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 3: had happened. I mean, oh, my hackles are up.

99
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm already you would be of ye your kids

100
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: through there like so the owner never said anything, walk

101
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: back inside.

102
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 3: From then on, my dog decided their yard was a

103
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 3: great place to stop and poop, and I just let him.

104
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 3: I never picked up any of it either, just casually

105
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 3: walked away, never apologized, like nothing happened. Absolved.

106
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: Recently, my wife was walking our dog. No, she wasn't

107
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: even walking the dog. She went over to like pick

108
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: up someone had left a table out to like you know,

109
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: like here table, free table, and so my wife walked

110
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: over to look at it. And it's in our neighborhood.

111
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: It's a block from where we live. And a dude

112
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: across the street opened his door and a dog rushed

113
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: out of his house then ran across the street. Ask

114
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: my wife, it's a scary thing when the dog runs

115
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: across the street, you know what I mean, It's like, oh,

116
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,799
Speaker 1: this dog is not under control. It's like crossing streets

117
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: with it, you know, And so I think she said,

118
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: she's like stepped back to like get her leg away

119
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: from it, and the owner just starts screaming at her

120
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: from across the street, like don't you kick a fucking

121
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: dog and like and Lauren was just like she just

122
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: like goes into like fury mode too. It's like I

123
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: gotta kick your dog. She's like, what the fuck is

124
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: your dog doing across the street. And then he goes,

125
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: this is so crazy. He goes, get out of my

126
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: neighborhood or like go back to where you belong. He said,

127
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: either go back to my where you belong or get

128
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: out of my neighborhood. She was like, I live here.

129
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: And then it's just like this ridiculous, Like I live

130
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: here too. Yeah, then there's this yelling that they live

131
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: there to each other, and it was just like it

132
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: like it just went from zero to insanity super quickly.

133
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 1: And now I I'm gonna take a shit on that

134
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: guy's lawn just like this is like that.

135
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so weird. I've I have these neighbors all

136
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 3: around me and so where I live has these ten

137
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 3: cabins in Los Angeles, and I used to know every

138
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 3: single person in all of them and we were all

139
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 3: friends and are. The artist Travis Millard, who does our

140
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 3: artwork for Bananas, was one of my neighbors and best buddies.

141
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 3: He would pull his ping pong table out into his driveway.

142
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 3: We'd all crack some beers. All the houses were open. Hey,

143
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 3: come check this out. Hey, you want to watch this thing.

144
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 3: It was really beautiful, it was great. It was a

145
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 3: little shangri la in the middle of the city. And

146
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 3: then over the past several years, including obviously the Great Choar,

147
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 3: a lot of people moved. So now all of my

148
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 3: neighbors in every direction are new, Every single one of

149
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 3: them are new within a year. And so I'm the

150
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 3: old head here now. Yeah, and my neighbors, my direct

151
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 3: next door neighbors. When I was in French Polynesia for

152
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 3: the month, I had held my mail, but a lot

153
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 3: of stuff kept coming. They bagged it up in individual bags.

154
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 3: They put it on my deck. I didn't ask them to,

155
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 3: they just voluntarily did it. So I gave them a

156
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 3: bottle of tequila and wrote them a little thank you note.

157
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 3: They were like, you didn't have to do that. I'm like,

158
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 3: now that is a neighbor. Yeah, now we say hello

159
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 3: every morning. They're the coolest couple. Then there are these

160
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 3: other neighbors that moved into Travis's house that is kind

161
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 3: I guess they're like my other next door neighbors. The

162
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 3: husband says hello, the wife will not say hello to me.

163
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 3: I'll wave and so I yeah, I'll just be like, hey, guys,

164
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 3: and he'll be like, oh, hey man, and she just

165
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 3: doesn't even look. And then other times I'll pass on

166
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 3: the street when I'm on a walk and she's driving

167
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 3: a car, and I just give the most generic friendly

168
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 3: wave never once, and so my revenge. You know, I

169
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 3: wouldn't do this, but in my head, I'm like, in

170
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 3: Los Angeles there are wildfires and earthquakes. We have these,

171
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 3: and I live on a hill surrounded by trees, and

172
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 3: I have the best view of down below, and I

173
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 3: want to be like, listen, lady, I might be the

174
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 3: person has to run up a knock on your door

175
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 3: and say get in your car and go like I might,

176
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 3: or like give me your number. All everybody here exchanges

177
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 3: numbers for that reason. If it's like a problem, we

178
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 3: all talk and this one couple just refuses to participate.

179
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 3: And I want to be like, when that natural disaster comes,

180
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to choose in that moment, who do

181
00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 3: I tell? And I'm going to be like, you guys,

182
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 3: get out of there, here's some water, delse yourself. It

183
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 3: is like, oh, it makes me so angry.

184
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: The neighbor thing, Like because we've you know, on bananas,

185
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: we get a lot of stories about neighbor disputes. Yes,

186
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: like just escalated into insanity, and it's and it is

187
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: like it is a grand fear of mine to be

188
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: in a dispute with a neighbor because there is no escaping,

189
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? Like every day when

190
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: you wake up, they are right next and and in

191
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: our case in Los Angeles, literally my neighbor is seven

192
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 1: feet from my window. They're right there. Like everything's crammed

193
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: right into each other. Yeah, So like to be in

194
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 1: a dispute is like the last thing I saw. I'm

195
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: always just like so nice, except for the neighbors on

196
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: the other side. Right when we moved in, right when

197
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: we moved in. So the one neighbor's on one side,

198
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: I'm like super cool with. On the other ones, we

199
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: never speak.

200
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

201
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: The day I moved in, it's like doing I was

202
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 1: letting Zelda out in the yard or something. And uh

203
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: and the old man, who I think has since passed.

204
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 1: I'm not sure because I've never spoken with them. I

205
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: heard not murdered this man. I did just say this

206
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: for legal reasons. I said, hey, how you doing. We

207
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: just moved in here, and he just went how much

208
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: did you pay?

209
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 3: There was there was no hello, there was nothing. There was.

210
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: All he said was how much did you pay? And

211
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, we're renting what? And then I

212
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: was like, well, great.

213
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 3: Talking, Okay, cool conversation is.

214
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: The only that is the only thing either of them

215
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: have ever said to me or my wife. No one

216
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: has had anything other than screaming how did you pay?

217
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: Without a hello?

218
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's my other neighbor while you were saying that.

219
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 3: So I had these neighbors I really like next door.

220
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 3: And they were a younger ish couple, late twenties probably,

221
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 3: And he's a photographer, a working photographer, really good shoots.

222
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 3: Like I looked at his Instagram. I was like, oh,

223
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 3: he's actually great. And he gets paid to be a

224
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 3: photographer in LA and New York. For those The reason

225
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 3: I qualify that is because everybody's a photographer here and

226
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 3: in New York, everybody's a photographer, and a lot of

227
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 3: people don't get paid.

228
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: It's like being a DJ. It's a visual DJ.

229
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's free J right, it's photographers. Yes, it's not great.

230
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 3: But so we started to become friendlier. And then when

231
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 3: they were moving real I guess in twenty twenty or

232
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one, they moved, and I used to talk

233
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 3: from our decks on our backyard and just like, hey man,

234
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 3: this is wild, right You'd be like, yeah, it's crazy,

235
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 3: and we toss a beer over vice versa. Nice people.

236
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 3: And so when he was leaving, he's like, yeah, we

237
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 3: got to go. We're actually going to hit the road

238
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 3: and do like a few month road trip. It's been

239
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 3: really fun living next to you. Do you want any

240
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 3: of these? I don't know what photographers call them, but

241
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 3: basically like a work book, like all of his work,

242
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 3: So like a real if you were an actor, I gues,

243
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 3: if you're a photographer, you just have like albums of

244
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 3: your work. Okay, albums of photography, let's call it. It's

245
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 3: gotta be something.

246
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, so is it printed on the pages

247
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 1: or is it like a little sleeves with the photographs

248
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: slid into it?

249
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 3: Right? Okay, so it's like your look book. Maybe maybe

250
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 3: it's got a look book. I think for models it's

251
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 3: a look book. So anyways, he's like, do you want

252
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 3: any of these because I'm not, like I I've already

253
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 3: done these jobs and now everything's digital. I don't need

254
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 3: these anymore. And I was like cool, So I started

255
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 3: flip flipping through them, and I realized that a lot

256
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 3: of the photos in this one were of his wife naked.

257
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 3: So then I'm like, I'm like just flipping through him

258
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:38,599
Speaker 3: in the driveway where I'm like, so, where are you

259
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 3: guys gonna go? You think he's like probably up to Tahoe,

260
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 3: And I'm like looking at his wife's breasts, and I'm like,

261
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 3: very interesting, very cool, to the point where I thought

262
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 3: it was almost a test or like a prank, or

263
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 3: like he was just being funny to be like, have

264
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 3: you ever wondered what my wife looked like naked? And

265
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 3: then you have to look at him like, oh, artistic, Nope,

266
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 3: I don't even recognize this face on this person. But

267
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 3: and so I didn't keep any of the nudes, because

268
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 3: I really was like, this is going to be so

269
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 3: funny if I'm like if it just looks at me,

270
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 3: He's like, you like what you see? And I'm like, no, sir, no, sir,

271
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 3: I do not.

272
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: I mean maybe it was an invitation to a threesome.

273
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: It made me because like it was, it was like

274
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: the beginning of testing out the waters. Yeah, oh, did

275
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: you notice that's my wife's vagina? Oh interesting, didn't realize

276
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: that was in there? Oh are there fifty five of those?

277
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: Oh interesting?

278
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 3: Everywhere? Oh every angle of my wife in color or

279
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 3: black and white, in the country, sometimes in a studio,

280
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 3: sometimes in a bathtub, sometimes in an Airbnb bathtub and

281
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 3: palm springs. And I'm just flipping through it as if

282
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 3: I'm just like looking at like coupon's or something like

283
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 3: oh interesting, Oh very cool. Yeah, gasoline's expensive. It's such

284
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 3: a weird moment.

285
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: And it was a really weird moment.

286
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 3: Keep one binder that has no neighbor nudes, no neighbor nudes,

287
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 3: no name, but some model nudes. And it's very lovely,

288
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 3: and but it would have been weird if they continued

289
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 3: living next to me. I'm almost glad they Oh yeah,

290
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 3: nothing would have happened, right, like, oh, I've seen you naked.

291
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is always fascinating. I remember my step mother.

292
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: I think my stepmother had if I'm remembering correctly, my

293
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: stepmother had a painting of herself naked that was like

294
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: hung in my Dad's incredible. I'm like, I'm just having

295
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: flashes of it now, and I don't think I'm making

296
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: this up. This is crazy. It was like it was like,

297
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: you know, a suburban Michigan painter that they hired, you know,

298
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: so it was it like the highest quality.

299
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 3: No if that's anybody in suburban Michigan, but.

300
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: You know, you're assuming if you're hey, who knows, who knows?

301
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: But it was like, uh, I cannot believe that. Yeah,

302
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: it was she was naked in it, or at least topless.

303
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 3: I think was she in repose like those great eighties

304
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 3: paintings that were there, like lounging on a chaise it.

305
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: I can't remember exactly the details. Oh my god, I

306
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: got to ask my sisters or my brother.

307
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 3: Got to get that painting. I got.

308
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: I do not want that painting. I think it was done,

309
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: but I don't think they hung it. I think that's

310
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: what it was, but it was like in yes, that's

311
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: what it was. It was in a storage room, but

312
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: still they had it done, do you know what I mean? Like, yeah,

313
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: they took the photo, gave the photo to an artist,

314
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: and then the artists like sketched it, slash painted it.

315
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: Of course, so.

316
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 3: Strange and that's a funny one for you to remember.

326
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,080

Speaker 3: Like a driftwood lamp or something or like there was I.

00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: Have a lamp that looks like a like a sea

336
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: urchin or.

337
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 3: You know, I mean amazing. Yeah, there was a weird

338
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 3: thing in the eighties. Yeah, mostly in the late eighties

339
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 3: where a lot of people, a lot of dads would

340
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 3: have a downstairs bar with whidpan ling leg you know,

341
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 3: like Cliff's Place, Yeah, Denny's Bar, and it always had

342
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 3: like a fish tank that was half empty with the

343
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 3: largest pirani you've ever seen swimming around in greenwater. And

344
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 3: I would have like bumper pool table if they had

345
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 3: had a good year of the year.

346
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: Before or that, Like, yeah, is that what it is?

347
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: It was a bumper pool table thing.

348
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 3: We're mushroom looking things on it, yes, yes, yes.

349
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: And then you could put a top over it and

350
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: became a poker table.

351
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 3: That's right.

352
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: Yes see.

353
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 3: I would love if this is only mid Atlantic too.

354
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 3: But it was like such a thing to be like

355
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 3: when the dad was away, they would have like one

356
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 3: Neon bud light sign. Yeah, one of those mirrors that

357
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 3: has a light before it for like Schlitz beer that

358
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 3: would like look like the ocean or something.

359
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: It's so funny because my friend Tim's dad had that

360
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: and had like he had an actual in the basement

361
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,719
Speaker 1: had an actual little tiny bar and like a and

362
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: like a lamp that was like glass lamp that like

363
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 1: hung down over it. And I didn't have a dad

364
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 1: at home, so I was always just like, I guess

365
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: this is what dads do.

366
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 3: Yes, Yeah, my neighbor whose dad built a full bar

367
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 3: with working beer taps in like five or six stools,

368
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 3: like pretty big, and then they had like around the

369
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 3: one of the support beams in the basement he put

370
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 3: you like built it out so that it had like

371
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 3: a round table around it. And I was like, I

372
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 3: guess that was the original man cave or something. Yeah,

373
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 3: but yeah, think about it when you don't have friends over,

374
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 3: Like was Denny going down to Denny's bar and sitting

375
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 3: there and poorting himself a beer and.

376
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: Just by himself, screaming he was somewhere else.

377
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 3: And then some of them would have these nets, black

378
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 3: nets on the wall with fake plastic sea life trapped

379
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 3: in it. I don't know why this was a thing,

380
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 3: but if any of the panimals are aware of this

381
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 3: or have a photo of it or your parents at it,

382
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 3: please dm us at the podcast.

383
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: I do always think about that where people have bars

384
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 1: in their basement. Yeah, the overwhelming majority of time you're

385
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: spending there is not with other people, and so it

386
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: almost heightens the sense of loneliness. Do you know what

387
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 1: I mean that it's like, Well, I go down to

388
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 1: a fully appointed bar in my basement by myself, and

389
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: I sit at the bar, I pour myself a drink,

390
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: and I drink by myself.

391
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 3: And I watched the Jersey Devil's Play ice hockey on

392
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 3: a thirteen inch black and white TV. Uh that is

393
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 3: sitting on top of my seventy four inch big screen

394
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 3: TV that you can't see unless you're sitting directly in

395
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 3: front of it any angle, completely gray green. Right.

396
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: Do you remember those like big fancy TVs in the

397
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: eighties that were like a blue light and a red

398
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 1: light and a green light just like from the bottom,

399
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: and they would like shoot up and you could only

400
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 1: watch it like if you were like in a specific

401
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: seat in the room.

402
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 3: Oh god, it was so Yeah. Everything we're saying, it's like,

403
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 3: how depressed were dads in the eighties? Now, that's really

404
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 3: I mean, just out of it. Just moms were doing

405
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 3: Jane Fonda, moms were doing aerobics. They were out there

406
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 3: having fun, they were meeting people.

407
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: Dads were drinking by themselves at the bar in the basement,

408
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: watching a laser disc of close Encounters of the third kind.

409
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 3: Oh god, just where did my dreams go? And moms

410
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 3: were out there wearing funky leotards and just leggings, leggings

411
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 3: and just pinking around. They were, here's a confession for you,

412
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 3: all right, take it home for us, Take it home.

413
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 3: At my last apartment, my neighbors above us were so

414
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 3: loud our ceiling would shake twenty four to seven. My

415
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 3: boyfriend confronted them about it multiple times, and they denied

416
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:18,239
Speaker 3: it being them every time. So they wrote it like

417
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 3: so so on our last day there, we put the

418
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 3: radio blasting a news channel right up against the events

419
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 3: in the ceiling, and left, locking the door behind us,

420
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 3: and never to return. We hope to this day it

421
