00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,399
Speaker 3: fact that a random pigeon is living on his head.

5
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: Yep, and this is a headline.

6
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:21,160

Speaker 5: Thank you so much for having me on the Shoe. Hello, Maria,

37
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 5: I am excited to hear what's going on in the

38
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 5: world that's positive and the odd.

39
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that is well, guess what, you came on

40
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 3: the right show because it's all positive and it's all weird.

41
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: That true.

42
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 1: Yeah. How's your week going?

43
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 5: Oh it's going super great. Let me see I Oh,

44
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 5: I just passed an exam. Whoam a pure specialist support person.

45
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 5: That's a new kind of job that they have. Instead

46
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 5: of sending out the cops, they send out a team

47
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 5: of people, one of which is someone who has lived

48
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 5: experience with mental health. And so I'm hoping to become

49
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 5: part of one of these teams. Because Los Angeles otherwise

50
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 5: they just send the cops.

51
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: Yes, which always asks me, wants the cops?

52
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, unless you want the cops exactly.

53
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 2: Right, that's right. But when you're when you're really you're

54
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: feeling your worst and your mental health is a little shake,

55
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: you don't need just two cops showing up at your door.

56
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: It would be better to have I don't know, Maria

57
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: Bamford show up at your door. I know, it is it.

58
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 3: It really is the craziest solution. It's like, I'm not

59
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 3: feeling myself. Here's two bullies with guns. Here's the people

60
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 3: who beat you up in high school.

61
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, guys who never want to talk about their feelings.

62
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 5: You're going to have real interest in yours. They're going

63
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 5: to focus on what's strong, that's not what's wrong.

64
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: That's very cool.

65
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

66
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I'm very excited to have a new skill.

67
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 5: I think, I think hopefully we'll see if I can

68
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 5: get a job. Now that's the of course, problem is

69
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 5: the interview process. But again it's pure in the name

70
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 5: of the job title peer. So they know that I

71
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 5: have mentals, Yeah, not going to try to hide anything.

72
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 3: It does suggest also that you'll only be showing up

73
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 3: a comedians' homes.

74
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: And you would be busy for a long time. That's

75
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 2: all so fine.

76
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 5: I'm available for that. Well do you have I know

77
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 5: people come to shows and they just had like some

78
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 5: you know, I don't know. Sometimes people are coming to

79
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 5: social media for help, so I think anyways, face to

80
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 5: face is always better.

81
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 2: Were you nervous? Like you know, as adults we don't

82
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 2: take exams that often. We don't actually have to prep

83
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 2: and to do anything. Was it stressful to get ready

84
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 2: for it?

85
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 3: Yes?

86
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 5: I had eighty hours of training. Wow. Then learned it's

87
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 5: a specific philosophy, peer specialist training, and so it's really lovely.

88
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:04,799
Speaker 5: It's all about, like about whatever the person wants, so

89
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 5: it's not about one person going on. I don't know

90
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 5: what's best for you. It's harm reduction. So if you

91
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 5: go I can't stop, you know, doing Heroin and punch

92
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 5: people in the face. Well, what can you do? What

93
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 5: might be a little bit better than that? Can you punch?

94
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 5: Can you punch a wall? Eat three pizzas a day

95
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 5: while still doing Heroin? Let's add a couple thanks to

96
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 5: the mix.

97
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: I like that philosophy. That's pretty good.

98
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: Well, a lot of sofas for people to.

99
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 2: That's right.

100
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: Do you want to hear about this pigeon, Maria. Yes,

101
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: this is.

102
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 3: A beautiful story and I'm excited to start this episode

103
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 3: with you.

104
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 2: Yes it.

105
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 3: So this is originally from so Ruth sent this in

106
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 3: on Instagram.

107
00:05:58,600 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Ruth.

108
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 3: Originally this was a news story that came out on

109
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 3: the BBC in nineteen sixty nine. Okay, and so this

110
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 3: is a this is a historical bananas And this is

111
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 3: from the Dodo who did a write up on it

112
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 3: because BBC Archives just recently posted it to their Instagram

113
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 3: the video clip, and this was a good summation I thought,

114
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 3: man comes to accept the fact that a random pigeon

115
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 3: is living on his head. This is written by, of

116
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 3: course Steven Messenger, who we all love. He's the best

117
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 3: in the biz. He's doing it at the Dodo and

118
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 3: he's doing so do do good.

119
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,239
Speaker 1: In October, he's the Birdman.

120
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 3: In October nineteen sixty nine, something rather odd happened to

121
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 3: Glenn Wood, a tax inspector from Stretchford, England. I'm so

122
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 3: happy he's a tax inspector, Like it couldn't be a

123
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 3: more boring job.

124
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 2: Perfect job.

125
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 3: As Woods strolled down the street one day, a random

126
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 3: pigeon flew in and landed on his head.

127
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: It's quote. It stayed there as he walked home.

128
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 3: The Birmingham Post reporter stated at the time nothing he

129
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 3: could do would shift it. Amazingly, the bird remained with

130
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 3: Wood for a week, mostly staying atop his head, and

131
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 3: though he likely could have ridded himself of that clinging

132
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 3: bird by some less than gentle means, would took a

133
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 3: more humane approach to the feathered hangar on. He let

134
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 3: him stay. In a recently resurfaced interview with the BBC,

135
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 3: would describe the odd situation with remarkable grace and understanding

136
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 3: what God quote it's and the video We'll post the

137
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 3: video on the Instagram.

138
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: It is.

139
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: He is very calm.

140
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 3: He has a bird on his head while he's talking,

141
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 3: and he's like, it's very friendly, Wood told the interviewer,

142
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 3: adding it goes everywhere with me.

143
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: Everywhere I go.

144
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 3: The pigeon goes up the road in the shop greengrocers.

145
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 3: Though woods time with the pigeon living on his head

146
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 3: may have seemed indefinite, the situation eventually came to a

147
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 3: happy conclusion after seeing news coverage about the incident, a

148
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 3: local family came forward. They recognized their pigeon as their

149
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 3: beloved pet, Charlie, whom.

150
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: They raised since he was young.

151
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: Quote.

152
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 3: I saw a little boy who had a baby pigeon,

153
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 3: Irene Mietola, Charlie's owner, recall to the Birmingham Post reporter.

154
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 3: He gave him to me to look after. This is

155
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 3: the craziest origin story for having a pigeon that lives

156
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 3: on your head. Charlie was now back where he belonged.

157
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 3: Charlie was known to sit upon Mitola's head and had

158
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 3: reportedly gotten lost while on a.

159
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: Walk prior to his encounter with Wood.

160
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 3: Scared it alone, Charlie saw protection from a stranger, a

161
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 3: risky endeavor that paid off in spades even fifty years later.

162
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: It's clear he picked the perfect head.

163
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 2: That's so nice.

164
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 5: This is its lovely.

165
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: It's a nice story.

166
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 2: Everybody wins everything.

167
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 3: The pigeon wins, Charlie wins. I mean, I guess Charlie

168
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 3: and the pigeon are the same person. Miatola wins.

169
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 2: Glynn Glynn Wood.

170
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 5: That seems like a very English thing too, the sort

171
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 5: of the acceptance and the the I mean delight, you know,

172
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 5: concern and then yeah, even handedness. I remember we were

173
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 5: traveling as a family and we stopped to We were

174
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 5: in a rental car, and when I was a kid,

175
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 5: we stopped to ask a man directions and he said, Oh,

176
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 5: I'm a pedestrian, you see, I don't know the roads.

177
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 5: I don't know the roads.

178
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: He's just a sidewalk guy. He's a buddy guy.

179
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 3: He could tell you how to get there on foot,

180
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 3: but not on the road.

181
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 5: Yeah. I was like, yeah, that's not Oh that's just lovely.

182
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 5: And I think that's kind of my dearest hope, is

183
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 5: that an animal would befriend me. Yes, like a yeah,

184
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 5: just some take a liking to me, especially you know,

185
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 5: from the wild. If it seemed like you know, I

186
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 5: think that's what the instagram is all about, right, saying, Oh, the.

187
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 6: Raccoon really saw who I was. They moved in, and

188
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 6: then they ate their way through our dry wall over

189
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 6: and over again for the next eight years.

190
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 1: The best are people who are like, I've got this

191
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: big cat. I got this big cat here, it's just

192
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: a mountain lion in their house.

193
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 2: That happened a lot. It happened so much.

194
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: Really, it happens a lot.

195
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 2: Dogs that turn out to be bears. Yeah, covered a

196
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 2: lot of stories where people adopted what they thought was

197
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 2: like a big dog and then it turned out to

198
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: be a bear and they raised it in their house.

199
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 2: And same with cats. Yeah, it's like a regular cat

200
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 2: and then they find out it like it's a bobcat

201
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 2: or a puma or a Lynx or something. You've gotten

202
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 2: that store. Several versions of that story sent to us

203
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 2: in the last three years. Pretty wild. But wouldn't you

204
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 2: feel chosen? Don't you think Glynn felt like the chosen one,

205
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: Like he's not landed on his head, it's stuck with

206
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 2: him for a week.

207
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 5: Yeah. And I have to say, if he's a tax investigator,

208
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 5: that's a I think huge It will suggest that he

209
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 5: does have taxes are so emotional and it's almost like

210
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:24,599
Speaker 5: he would probably be a therapist type mindset. Have you

211
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 5: ever gone to see your tax accountant? Every year, I

212
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 5: go and I just feel like, even though they're just

213
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 5: telling me numbers, yes, stating facts to me, I feel

214
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 5: like I've got to cry, I've got to stomp around.

215
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 5: So the pigeon shows, well, my.

216
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 2: Tax accountant has a punching bag of Bobo the clown

217
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 2: in his uninflator. Punching bag and he'll be like, do

218
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 2: you want to hear do you want to punch Bobo?

219
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 2: And I'll be like, well, let me hear the number first,

220
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 2: and then I'll punch Bobo and their whole office. Like

221
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 2: the theme is like kind of out sort of this

222
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 2: this like just this stress, the stress of hearing like

223
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 2: your bank account. And you're like, oh god, so yeah,

224
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 2: I punch Bobo when I walk in. We get a

225
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 2: good laugh out of it. I sit back down and

226
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 2: I love my guy. I see him once a year

227
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 2: and I love him.

228
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 5: He makes me laugh every That's so wonderful because even

229
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 5: if it's an if I'm not getting money back, I

230
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 5: still feel enraged. Yes, I don't know what it's like,

231
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 5: and I feel mad that they know it, that they're

232
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 5: saying you're you're getting more money.

233
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: Oh dar, you mention it.

234
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 2: That's my business. That is my business. Yes, it's so

235
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 2: exposing in this weird way. There's this one person that

236
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 2: knows all the truth and where you're at, and you're

237
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 2: just like, you better be nice to me.

238
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 5: Right now, or I want I think I want a star.

239
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 5: I want a series of stickers, or a bowl of

240
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 5: popcorn or some sort of like.

241
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 7: You did really great this year, Mario with your bookkeeping.

242
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 5: Your bookkeeping is so on.

243
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 7: Our other clients are so disorganized.

244
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 5: That's I want to hear some sort of math teacher

245
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 5: pump up.

246
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, but really did these numbers? Well?

247
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I mean, you know, the difference between net

248
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 7: and gross, and.

249
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 5: Gross, by the way, is the amount of money you're

250
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 5: never gonna get. Net is the money that you will

251
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 5: take home.

252
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 2: You catch it in your net, and you take it

253
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,719
Speaker 2: over your shoulder and you march it back to your

254
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 2: mattress and stuff it in there. But this guy, yeah,

255
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 2: like I to have somebody that works in taxes have

256
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 2: a bird land on his head, Like you can imagine

257
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 2: what their company parties or their holiday parties are normally. Like,

258
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 2: suddenly this guy has a story. He has a great story.

259
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 2: It's not just water cooler talk anymore. It's like, well,

260
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 2: I had a bird live on my head for a week,

261
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 2: and suddenly everybody pivots and they're like.

262
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: There's something to talk about.

263
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 3: They talked about that for the rest of his life.

264
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 3: He never like that. He retired fifteen years later, he

265
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 3: was still known as the pigeon guy.

266
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 5: I wonder though, if accounts. I mean, that's always sort

267
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 5: of a thing about kind of saying, oh, they don't

268
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 5: have anything to talk about it that they do because people,

269
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 5: because of the very fact that people are so weird

270
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 5: about money that they must have these stories of you know,

271
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 5: people you know, hitting a wall and breaking stuff in

272
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 5: the or or saying yeah, I just I kind of

273
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 5: fucked up. I mean, I remember I called my because

274
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 5: the IRS had showed up at our door and said

275
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 5: we're now seizing sixty thousand dollars. And I was like,

276
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 5: oh from in here, but I called it. I'm kind

277
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 5: of like, oh my god. And it turned out it

278
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 5: was just a paperwork mistake, but it was so it

279
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 5: was so thrilling.

280
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: And I mean to.

281
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 5: See the Internal Realization Service face to face on you know,

282
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 5: agent Lopez was giving me the business, giving me the shakedown, or.

283
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 2: He was your pigeon, yeah, right on your front doors.

284
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: That's crazy that they show up in person.

285
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 5: Oh yeah yeah. And if and sometimes if you get

286
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 5: yourself of pick up, the sharef will show up and

287
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 5: show up. If you if you put your property in

288
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 5: a situation or yeah you can it can really it

289
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 5: can really go down. So I I love money stories

290
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 5: they're very uh bracing.

291
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: Yes, Scottie, give me sure.

292
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 2: Here's one that I this is new this week and

293
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 2: this is very interesting. Would love to hear your guesses.

294
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 2: This was sent in by wander lusters Cheyenne, who sends

295
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 2: great stories. Thank you so much, Cheyenne. This is on Bloomberg,

296
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 2: written by Mia Gindis or Jindas, who doesn't matter how

297
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 2: you say her last name. She's an excellent journalist and

298
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 2: the best in the business. More people call in sick

299
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 2: on August twenty fourth than any other day of the year.

300
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: That was yesterday.

301
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 2: Isn't that so interesting?

302
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 5: It's Thursday.

303
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 3: I know exactly why. I have a theory already, but listen.

304
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 3: I'll listen, lock and load theories.

305
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 2: This is going to be a barn burner. I can

306
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: feel it already.

307
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: I'm ready.

308
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 2: August twenty fourth has been dubbed the sickest day of

309
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 2: the year, as more office workers in the United States

310
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 2: call in sick on that day than any other day.

311
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 2: While the holiday season around Christmas is typically associated with

312
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 2: employees on leave, August twenty fourth is the surprising date

313
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 2: on which most workers do call in sick. This data

314
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 2: comes from a management platform Flamingo Leave Tracker, which analyzed

315
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 2: very professional They probably they signed up for that in college,

316
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 2: like this is funny, and then it became a real job,

317
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 2: which analyzed data from five years to come up with

318
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 2: a result. Around three hundred organizations and more than ten

319
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 2: thousand employees in total participated in Flamingo's study to find

320
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 2: the sickest day of the year, and according to a

321
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 2: Bloomberg report, they found that point nine percent of those

322
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 2: employees called in sick on August twenty ninth, more than

323
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 2: any other day of the year. So basically, one percent

324
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 2: call in sick on August.

325
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 3: August twenty ninth, not twenty fo fourth fourth fourth, twenty fourth.

326
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 2: Sorry, August twenty fourth does not fall in the middle

327
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 2: of the influenza season in the United States, nor is

328
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 2: it close to any major holiday, so it's not entirely

329
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 2: clear why this day witnesses so many sick leaves. Employees

330
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 2: cited stomach bug as the number one most common reason

331
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 2: for calling in sick. Symptoms such as this is great

332
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 2: best in business writing here from me A. Symptoms such

333
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 2: as diarrhea and vomiting accounted fifty four percent of all

334
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 2: sick leaves on August twenty fourth. After that, twenty five

335
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 2: percent of the staff called in sick because of COVID,

336
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 2: nine percent cited stress or anxiety, and then six percent

337
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 2: were injuries like broken bones or muscle strains. Paris Parker

340
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 2: workers taking mental health days, which is something that used

341
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 2: to not happen in the past. It's not necessarily that

342
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 2: they have strepper fever, but they just need a day

343
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 2: for themselves. Who doesn't After August twenty fourth, the day

Speaker 3: Door, Kurt, what's your guests?

359
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 2: Do you have a theory on August twenty fourth?

360
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 5: Oh?

361
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 2: Here it is.

362
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 3: Public school starts on August fifteenth. Around August fifteenth, nine

363
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 3: days later, everybody's fucking sick.

364
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 2: All the kids are.

365
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 3: The kids have transferred over to the parents at that point.

366
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 3: Olive is sick today, So she's home sick today.

367
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 1: It's August twenty fifth.

368
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 2: Interesting, So all the kids share the hemp gebis and

369
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 2: then bring it home and then give it to their parents.

370
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 3: That's like just enough time for the kids to get sick,

371
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 3: give it to the parents' parents get sick.

372
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 2: Great. Guess what is.

373
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 5: The best thing about having kids?

374
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 3: What is the best thing? Yes, Like today was very nice.

375
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 3: It's like little moments I want. Like Olive, she's six,

376
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 3: and she really wanted to walk the dog, and so

377
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 3: I let her walk the dog for the first time

378
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 3: because the dog's kind of big, so she they haven't

379
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 3: been able.

380
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: To walk the dog because she pulls yet. But I walked.

381
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 3: I walked her halfway and then and then I let

382
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 3: her poop and then she was like done at my daughter.

383
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 3: I let my daughter poop and then matter and then

384
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 3: after the dog pooped, it doesn't she doesn't want to

385
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 3: pull anymore.

386
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: And so then I gave her over to Olive.

387
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 3: And then Olive was just in front of me walking

388
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 3: the dog and like talking to the dog, and you

389
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 3: could see all of just in that whatever block and

390
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 3: a half that we went. You could see all the

391
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 3: things she learned from like all these different places and

392
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 3: the things that she was saying to the dog to

393
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 3: like reassure the dog or to like stop and let go.

394
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 3: And it was like very It was like, oh, I

395
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 3: did not expect to have like an emotional walk around

396
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 3: the block, and it turned out yes, it was.

397
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 1: So that was cool to see, like all that synthesis happen.

398
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 5: That's spectacular.

399
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 2: Good for noticing, Kurt. Good for not being on your

400
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 2: phone and seeing this beautiful moment between the animal that

401
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 2: you kind of like and the daughter you love so much.

402
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 2: I love, I do love zeldean Ze.

403
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: But it's the boat. It's the same thing. It's the

404
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: same thing.

405
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 3: Like you have so many problems with both, you know,

406
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 3: and other times you just want to be like I

407
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 3: need to go away from these these things I need

408
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 3: to escape.

409
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 1: So sure it's the same, but.

410
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 5: It'll it'll pay off in the end. From what I've read. Yeah, wow,

411
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 5: I thought about having kids. Uh in my when I

412
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,479
Speaker 5: was forty, I thought, okay, I'm gonna look into it,

413
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 5: the whole thing about adopting because I was yeah, uh

414
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 5: and uh yeah, So I mentored a kid just to

415
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 5: see what that was like, to see do I even

416
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 5: like being around small young things? With this young lady

417
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 5: for three years, she was so hilarious. She's like, why

418
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 5: am I surrounded by white people? And this is even

419
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 5: funnier because she was blind. And she was blind, yes,

420
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 5: and so she could tell anybody's race by touch and

421
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 5: through just tearing them, and uh yeah, I would basically

422
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 5: just give her rides everywhere she wanted to go.

423
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: Oh that's cool.

424
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 7: Yeah.

425
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 5: It was supposed to be like a college thing where,

426
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 5: you know, because she's the first person or family to

427
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 5: go to college and and and we went to colleges.

428
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 5: But then also we just basically she just wanted to

429
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 5: go get rides to do stuff, and uh yeah. She

430
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 5: was hilarious. But I think, yeah, I'm not great with kids,

431
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 5: So then I I just Uh, I said, it's good,

432
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 5: It's okay. I'm not great with kids, and uh, I'm

433
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 5: going to let that go.

434
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: And I think that that is I I endorsed that,

435
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: you know.

436
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 3: I think that that is like there's like a lot

437
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 3: of kids.

438
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 5: There's a thousand kids in foster care, and it's like, well,

439
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 5: you know, and that's that's why I was like, Okay,

440
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 5: if I if I want a kid so bad, I

441
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 5: should accept, you know, be pumped for one that's already

442
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 5: here and really pumped to meet me. Uh at least

443
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 5: in your each But yeah, I'm just gonna try to.

444
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 5: I feel like the best service I could do to

445
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 5: the future adults of tomorrow is to keep my distance,

446
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 5: and that.

447
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 3: Scotty feels the same way.

448
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 4: I think.

449
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 3: The one thing that I found that my friends are

450
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 3: not Scottie, but other friends that I have who don't

451
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 3: have kids, they there's a concern or a worry that

452
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 3: the kid won't like them and you And the thing

453
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 3: you have to realize is that kids have no framework.

454
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 3: They've not met many people, so everyone they meet there

455
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 3: they kind of like, even if it seems they don't

456
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 3: like you, like, they haven't met many people. So you're fine,

457
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 3: they're gonna like you because they don't know what's if

458
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 3: you're being weird.

459
00:24:55,480 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 2: The standard of normal Exactlymark, that's a very good point.

460
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 2: I do like that thing where kids of a certain age,

461
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 2: and I've had Kurtz kids do this, but every kid

462
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 2: of a certain age when you meet them for the

463
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 2: first time and they do like you, they're already familiar

464
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 2: with you, and then they get comfortable around you after

465
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know, a few minutes. Then they

466
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 2: just want to show you all their stuff, like one

467
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 2: thing at a time, where it's like I have this,

468
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 2: and then you're like that is so cool. So then

469
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 2: you're like, I guess we're gonna play with this dinosaur.

470
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 2: And then they walk away and they're like I have

471
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 2: this too, and then you're like, yes, you do have

472
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 2: this little mirror. Isn't this cool? And I'm going to

473
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,159

477
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,000

510
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 2: to shout out her amazing husband and Brad. Brad got

511
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 2: unfortunately laid off from two IT jobs in the pasture,

512
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 2: so stupid, so dumb. Instead of getting down, he started

513
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 2: detailing cars in his downtime. But he has now become

514
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 2: a manager of a detailed shop and getting certified and

515
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,959
Speaker 2: wrapping cars, which is great because he loves working on cars.

516
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,479
Speaker 1: Oh nice cars, so good. Nice pivot.

517
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:31,360
Speaker 2: I love that the future is about pivoting. Sarah, who

00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 2: wants to shout of Brad, says she's so proud of

519
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 2: Brad and everything he's done. So that's a beautiful one.

520
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 2: Paula Curtis shouting out the staff of her department at UC,

521
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 2: which I'm guessing in this case as University California, who

522
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 2: helped her extend her contract. Another year because yay, she

523
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 2: loves having health insurance.

524
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: A great you.

525
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 2: Shout out, she says, shout out to the UA W

526
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 2: five eight one zero union reps. The Banana Boys are

527
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 2: Union boys. Kurt and I are both in Writers Guild

528
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 2: and sag.

529
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 5: Me too.

530
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 2: There we go. We love union I'll do. Let me

531
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 2: do two more quick ones. Christopher is shouting out his

532
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 2: wife and it's either he wrote it. I think it's

533
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 2: either Ida or Leada. And the only reason he spelled

534
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 2: it L I d A but then said pronounced it's

535
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 2: ee da. I'm guessing he means Leada, not Ida. She

536
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 2: is Finnish.

537
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 3: Never heard of a silent L. But maybe maybe Finland's silent.

538
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 2: L's We've you and I've never been to Finland, so

539
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 2: maybe they don't say l's up there. They are very

540
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 2: competitive super fans of the Bananas podcast. We got them

541
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 2: through the Great choir uh and Christopher got a story

542
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 2: on the podcast about the Russian spy whale, so technically

543
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 2: now he is winning one to nothing. Soa or Ida

544
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 2: balls in your court. And last, but not least, but

545
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 2: a huge one, we're shouting out Steve Curdie b, who

546
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 2: is our favorite cancer fighting banana b in Indiana who

547
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 2: is still fighting the good fight and listens to bananas

548
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 2: every step of the way, including on his way to treatment.

549
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 2: Helly got out to Steve. You're doing great. The banana

550
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 2: boys are sending you, you know, quick recovery, lots of

551
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 2: health and blue skies.

552
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 3: Yes, we got your back, Steve, Thank you, thank you.

553
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 3: And of course we are here with the wonderful Maria Bamford.

554
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 3: She has a new memoir, Sure I'll join your cult.

555
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 3: That's available for pre order right now.

556
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:30,959
Speaker 5: Tell us about the book, Well, it's a book I

557
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 5: always I love to read. But then they offered me

558
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 5: one hundred and fifty thousand dollars and said would you

559
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 5: like to write one? And I said, of course I do.

560
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 5: Of course I want to write a book.

561
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 2: Yes.

562
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 5: And then, but book deals work. This is how book

563
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 5: deal works. You get paid in dribs and drabs over

564
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 5: the course of nine years, depending on you know. It's

565
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 5: it's yeah anyways, But I guess it's a book about

566
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 5: mental health experiences as well, some recipes, some pictures of

567
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 5: my upbringing from UH Minnesota and UH cults is a

568
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 5: loose term of groups. I'm in a bunch of twelve

569
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 5: step groups which are considered yeah, are with very bizarre

570
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 5: beliefs and uh, as well as practices. And but I've

571
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 5: also been in a Dale Carnegie, I've done suzuki violin.

572
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 5: I was an Episcopalian as a child, but under dress

573
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 5: and so and so it's kind of an exploration of

574
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 5: all just trying to fit in anywhere. And uh, you know,

575
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 5: comedy can be sort of a cult. Yeah, where people

576
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 5: there's these super strongis It don't make me laugh when

577
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 5: somebody's just like this, this isn't comedy, right, Could you

578
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 5: slip on a banana while saying that, because how mad

579
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 5: you are? Those will sleep very funny either.

580
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 3: I do remember though, when I was starting stand up,

581
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 3: it was I would just go to shows and like

582
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 3: if a comedian then I liked happened to like look

583
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 3: at me and like remember my name.

584
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: I was like nailing it. I'm getting in there.

585
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 3: You know, like it was that whole that thing that

586
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 3: like there's a there's different definite there's definite cult of

587
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 3: personality with comedians.

588
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's gatekeeping, yeah, or well that's.

589
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 5: A beautiful I love the Internet because it's like everybody

590
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 5: has total access to finding their own people. It's just

591
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 5: so scrumptious. It's it's it's really lovely because I think,

592
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 5: uh yeah, it's just it's the best. But ChIL business

593
00:32:55,520 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 5: in itself is is kind of very powerful. Uh it's

594
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 5: it's like god, the concept of show But you know,

595
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 5: success is very you know, ephemeral, liminal. You can't decide

596
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 5: if if you are okay, if you've.

597
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: Made it or not made it.

598
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 5: It never happens, like all my dreams have come true.

599
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 5: I have no more ambitions and uh except except if

600
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 5: you paid attention to I think every once in a while.

601
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 5: But I actually don't even need it that much, Like

602
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 5: I love a thirty seat theater. Yeah, so, but but

603
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 5: show businesses it's yeah, you just it's very powerful and strange.

604
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 2: Have you ever had a judgment?

605
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 5: Yes? Have you ever had a famous person ask you

606
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 5: to do something for free?

607
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, oh my god.

608
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's so crazy, it's so crazy. Yeah.

609
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 2: I've written at least five full screenplays, five one and

610
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 2: ten paid screenplays for a famous person that they never

611
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 2: paid me, never made it anything. And that is like

612
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 2: it's so much work. It's months of work, and it's like, yes,

613
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 2: and that's happened, yeah, five times and different, not the

614
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 2: same one that would be on me. But yeah, it's

615
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 2: they asked you these favors and they put that spotlight

616
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 2: on you, and suddenly you go, we're a team. And

617
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 2: then they're like, no, I'm actually on this person's team,

618
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 2: so smell you later.

619
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:21,960

622
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 5: we all love Grimace. There's no question of the quality

623
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 5: of what he's brought to the franchise and asked me

624
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 5: to do something. I said, and I said to myself,

625
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 5: I said, there's no reason for me to do this

626
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 5: thing on a Sunday and didn't mention money, and so

627

Speaker 5: I asked Grimace for eight hundred bucks Grimace fair, Yeah,

628
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 5: which I said, that was fair. Grimmas paid me out

629
00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 5: the eight hundred dollars on the day in a way

630
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 5: to suggested he did not have eight hundred dollars. Groups

631
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 5: billions sold billions, so bizarre. But the great thing is

632
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 5: is that I got paid eight hundred dollars. Is the

633
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 5: end of that story?

634
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, it's like ask for your needs.

635
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 2: That's right, Is there an audible component. Is there an

636
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 2: audiobook compon?

637
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 5: Oh?

638
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I read you read.

639
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 5: I read it because guess what that paid too. And

640
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 5: I will do almost anything for money.

641
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: I enjoy.

642
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, I enjoy, but I think I'm proud of it. Well,

643
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 5: but definitely don't get it if you're not into it. Also,

644
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 5: six six months from now, it will probably be available

645
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 5: in a dusty little library near where you live, or

646
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 5: in a fancier neighborhood. Is usually where little libraries are.

647
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 2: Absolutely I'm gonna be listening to. But also I have

648
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 2: friends I've wrote books, you know, ten years ago, fifteen

649
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 2: years ago, and I'll see those books in old books

650
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 2: stores and see them for sale, and I always send

651
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 2: them pictures and they're pumped. They're like, where is this Vancouver.

652
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 2: It's in this shop and they're like amazing. So that's

653
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,760
Speaker 2: all right. It's your jokes living on or your story

654
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:18,760
Speaker 2: living on. That's wonderful.

655
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 5: Yeah. And I do make a note anytime I've recycled

656
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 5: some joke that I used in stand up, I put

657
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 5: a recycled icon, so you know that. I know you know,

658
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 5: because I always said, that's really monstrous when you buy

659
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 5: a comedian's book and you go, fuck you, like you've

660
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 5: said this on an album and a special and now

661
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 5: you're recycling it here. How dare you? But I did

662
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 5: put recycling this icon. It's the book is a ligne,

663
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 5: like a for dummies book. So there are a lot

664
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 5: of icons so you can and bold bold areas so

665
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 5: you know what parts are purient the sexy parts.

666
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 2: That's great.

667
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 1: That's really great.

668
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 2: Isn't it interesting? Like that so many things are cults

669
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 2: that you aren't even aware of them being cults. I

670
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 2: are things that spiral out of controlling people just joined

671
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 2: something because they kind of like a club or an

672
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 2: activity or a hobby. I remember this must be I'll

673
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 2: start by saying this. I don't know how old Mariah

674
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 2: Carey and Nick Cannon's children are, but I know that

675
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 2: they had kids together. And I know this because I

676
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 2: was living in New York at the time, and so

677
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 2: this is probably around twenty ten, eleven, twelve, somewhere in there.

678
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 2: And they announced that Mariah Carey was pregnant with Nick

679
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 2: Cannon's baby on you know, New York Post or whatever,

680
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 2: and so I tweeted something very innocuous, like they should

681
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 2: name it beef. So its name is beef cannon and

682
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 2: then went to sleep a true tweet in the twenty

683
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,280
Speaker 2: eleven era. Yea, And when I woke up, my Twitter

684
00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 2: had erupted with what Mariah Carey's fan call themselves, the lambs,

685
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 2: and she calls them the Lambie And the first like

686
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 2: at mentioned at my Twitter was all right, lambs, let's

687
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:15,320
Speaker 2: get them. It was like, I'm not a five thousand

688
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 2: like just did in my Maria my Twitter photo then

689
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 2: and now isn't me. It's a photo of a man.

690
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 2: I took a photo of a guy in Saint Martin

691
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 2: who's on the beach, who's wearing hot pants and at

692
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 2: a sunburned valley, and they went after that poor guy

693
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 2: and my fake Twitter so hard that I'm like, Mariah

694
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 2: Carey has a cult the lambs, and they would if

695
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 2: they had seen me in public. I would have gotten

696
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,720
Speaker 2: beaten up, because that's how great mentality works. But yeah,

697
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 2: all right, lambs, let's get up.

698
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: Also, it's not like insulting or anything. It's just a

699
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: dumb joke of at beef cannon.

700
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, and yeah could be seen as a as

701
00:38:55,800 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 5: a real compliment to that child, but uh, well yeah

702
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 5: that is that is well that's the That's also the

703
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,439
Speaker 5: beauty of the Internet is that you get to learn

704
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 5: things at a public.

705
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 2: Level and for a week, nonsense for a week from

706
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 2: strangers being like, I hope you fucking die. Their baby

707
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 2: is going to rule the world, and you're like, I'm sorry,

708
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 2: So I just will never make a joke again, and

709
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 2: mentioned Mariah Carey. I think they're Mariah Carey fans. The

710
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 2: Nick Cannon fans, they were they were.

711
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 5: Had no those were a limited or more limited group

712
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 5: or or or I mean Nick Cannon, he's the superstar,

713
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 5: but I don't feel like he I don't.

714
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 1: Think he has no lamb the same labid.

715
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 3: But speaking of beef cannons, Okay, guys want to hear

716
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,720
Speaker 3: about this butter cow is it one hundred percent?

717
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 5: But of course I almost got to go to the

718
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 5: Iowa State Fair as a getty the Minnesota Pickle. I

719
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 5: made it back to callbacks as a getty to the

720
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:10,720
Speaker 5: Minnesota Pickle.

721
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: I did not are the Minnesota Edney.

722
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 5: Gedney pickles out of Minnesota. You could exactly maybe think

723
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 5: of it and uh one. But then at the callbacks

724
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 5: there were other pickles there who informed me that one

725
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,439
Speaker 5: of the duties was going to the Iowa State Fair

726
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 5: and that sometimes the temperatures can reach up to one hundred.

727
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: And thirtyrees inside.

728
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 5: That pickle suit and you can be chased. You are also, uh,

729
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 5: there's no bodyguards, there's no one attending you. So sometimes

730
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 5: you're running in one hundred and fifty degrees inside that

731
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 5: pickle costume to preserve the mystery of the brand. Back

732
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 5: back to yours Kia sorrent and then you gotta, you know,

733
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 5: take off. It's it's just a lot more responsibility.

734
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 2: Than bullet dodge, pickle, bullet dodged.

735
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: Fickle bullet dodged. Here it is.

736
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 3: This was on Yahoo News Classic. Actually it's on BuzzFeed.

737
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 3: Yahoo News carries BuzzFeed. I guess because it makes it

738
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 3: makes perfect sense. This is a was sent in by

00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:40,959

Speaker 3: to be associated with this.

744
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 2: So here it is.

745
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 3: Midwesterners are losing it after finding out that the Iowa

746
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 3: State Fair buttercows aren't made from one hundred percent butter.

747
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 3: I'm not even gonna read this article, folks, good because

748
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 3: it's not real butter or it's not a full butter statue.

749
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 3: Here it is, I'll get to There's a lot. This

750
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 3: is a classic BuzzFeed article. First we're talking about what

751
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 3: are state fars, Then we're talking about what is Iowa.

752
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 3: Then we're talking about the Iowa State Fair. Then we're

753
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 3: talking about butter in general. Then we're talking about cows

754
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:18,439
Speaker 3: in general. It takes so long to just get to this.

755
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: Here it is.

756
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 3: There's now one thing people cannot stop talking about.

757
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: I mean, like, that's not a true statement.

758
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 3: No, the famed butter cow, or should I say the

759
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 3: wire mesh cow covered in butter. That's right, the beloved

760
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 3: butter cow sculpture isn't just a big hunk of butter

761
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 3: like we were all made to believe. It all started

762
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 3: when this image was tweeted of butter being scraped from

763
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:49,240
Speaker 3: the fairs butter cow, revealing a mesh structure underneath. After

764
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,280
Speaker 3: a little digging, we found out that this tragic incident

765
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:57,879
Speaker 3: was actually captured at the Illinois State Fair. But that

766
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 3: doesn't change the fact that it easily could have been Iowa,

767
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 3: as the practice is standard at both fares.

768
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:05,399
Speaker 1: The worst part this.

769
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 3: Info has been right under everyone's nose the whole time.

770
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 3: It's like on the it's actually on the like their

771
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 3: main website. But yeah, but then there's such people like

772
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,919
Speaker 3: just are very There's like a lot of Midwesterners who

773
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 3: were very upset because they all thought it was just

774
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 3: like one giant hunk of butter.

775
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: And then here's the most upset is any quotes.

776
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 5: Are there any quotes from actual people saying there.

777
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 3: As many do not text about the butter cow. I

778
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 3: am in mourning. That is from Claire Lower. Just found

779
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 3: out the butter cow isn't made out of butter. It's

780
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,959
Speaker 3: but a buttercoat over a regular statue. And I'm gonna

781
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 3: need seventy two full hours to recover. This is so

782
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 3: fucked up. My whole life.

783
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: Is a lie.

784
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 3: Just discovering the cow is in solid butter feels like

785
00:43:55,719 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 3: losing my religion. The butter cow a wire frame with

786
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 3: only a thin layer of butter on top.

787
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: It's not a solid block of butter.

788
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 3: I'm gonna burn the I was staying ground fair, that's fine.

789
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:17,760
Speaker 5: This doesn't seem like islands.

790
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, these are aspiring onion riders in there.

791
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 3: I now, And this is the most interesting thing I

792
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 3: thought of the whole article at the end. And if

793
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,879
Speaker 3: you're if you're wondering where the heck does all that

794
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,240
Speaker 3: butter go? What do they scrape it off of the frame?

795
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 3: I have an even more shocking fact for you. It's

796
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 3: recycled and can be reused for up to ten years.

797
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 3: Smarte the butter that's used for the State Fair cows

798
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 3: because they're all kept in like refrigeration.

799
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,720
Speaker 1: You know you've been there, but I refrigerated rooms.

800
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 5: But I didn't know that butter stays good for ten years.

801
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:57,320
Speaker 1: Turn.

802
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 3: I mean, nobody's eating it, right, so maybe it's a

803
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:02,240
Speaker 3: little rant said, nobody's smelling.

804
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 2: You want a little taste, You want a little taste.

805
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: Little taste.

806
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,839
Speaker 5: Butter is very good. It's delicious.

807
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 1: It's so wonderful, so delicious.

808
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 3: Maria, as a Minnesotan, did you were you under the

809
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 3: assumption that it was one block of butter carved into

810
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 3: a cow.

811
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 5: I did not have a cow in that contest. I

812
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 5: did not have a horse in that race, a dog

813
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 5: in that fight.

814
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 1: You ever thought about it?

815
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:30,720
Speaker 6: I've never cared.

816
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 5: But I think that if that's something you think about,

817
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 5: you know, we all have things that are important to

818
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 5: us and that's what makes life. Gives the broth, it's

819
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 5: its rich flavor as as does butter. Butter gives. Uh, yeah,

820
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:56,720
Speaker 5: I love and I do love butter.

821
00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 2: So it's a bit disappointing. Yeah, you think that they

822
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:08,240
Speaker 2: could carve a butter col it's a it's a disappointing.

823
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 1: Right because it is.

824
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 3: You know, my friend is a stone sculptor and one

825
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 3: of the things he works in giant pieces of marble.

826
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,240
Speaker 3: And one of the things I always find the most

827
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 3: fascinating is he sends me pictures like before the sculpture

828
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 3: begins and it's just this behemoth of just pure stone.

829
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,359
Speaker 3: And then he sends me an after photo and it's

830
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 3: this delicate little piece that is finished. And that is

831
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 3: the part that's amazing about sculpture.

832
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 5: I feel like, you know what this is about. This

833
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 5: is the travesty of arts funding, is that what it

834
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 5: would take to really carve from a full block of

835
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 5: butter would be too costly because they'd have to work

836
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 5: in a refrigeratored environment and also they maintaining that that

837
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 5: constant to be sculpting for that long amount of time

838
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 5: with Yeah, I just I think it's about cost and craftsmanship,

839
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 5: in the cost of what you know, fair pay, et cetera.

840
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 5: I think this is an issue for the National Endominant.

841
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 1: Of the Arts, the NEA.

842
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 3: This is an issue on This goes back to the

843
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:26,800
Speaker 3: eighties when they started defunding it. This is your fault, Reagan. Yep, yeah, Scottie,

844
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 3: give us one more to send us home.

845
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 2: Oh I almost forgot. Oh this one's let's see. Do

846
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 2: we want a very sweet one or do we want

847
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 2: a lawsuit? Lawsuit or sweet Maria?

848
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 5: Lawsuits can be sweet.

849
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 1: There we got a lawsuit it is.

850
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 2: That's a great, great answer. This was from sent him

Speaker 2: by Amanda, and her last name got cut off on

852
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:58,800
Speaker 2: my screenshot. So Amanda Costel, maybe Costello, maybe Costellano. But Amanda,

853
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 2: thank you for sending you in My apologies. This was

854
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 2: in the Sacramento be written by the best in the business,

855
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 2: Olivia Lloyd. She is good. Here we go. They're suing

856
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:15,839
Speaker 2: Italy market. A couple says their love life suffered after

857
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:21,399
Speaker 2: wife slipped on ham. I think we made the right

858
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 2: choice here a New Hampshire would yes, please.

859
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 5: Well, I think there's so many other issues going on

860
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 5: with their relationship, Like sometimes you've got to be mindful.

861
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 5: Why was she not watching where she was going? Was

862
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 5: she in a state high state of alert? Yeah, because

863
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 5: she's Oh and I'm just gonna you know, I'm gonna ask,

864
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 5: is she at all fearful of her partner? Is their

865
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 5: connection not really strong right now? For whatever reason? And

866
00:48:56,680 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 5: so she's she's she's so she's in fight or flight. Yeah,

867
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 5: she's in fight or flight and she doesn't see this

868
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 5: ham on the ground.

869
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 2: So I can you know, I could share put a

870
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 2: little clarity into that with the first sentence of this

871
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 2: article by Olivia Lloyd. And this is why she is

872
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 2: the best in the business. A New Hampshire woman spotted

873
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 2: the free samples of a popular Italian restaurant and market

874
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 2: in Boston. As she walked through the aisles of Italy

875
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 2: towards the samples, she slipped on persudo and broke her ankle.

876
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 2: So she was rushing over to the free samples at Italy,

877
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:41,799
Speaker 2: did not see ham on the ground, slipped on it

878
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:42,840
Speaker 2: and like a bear.

879
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:48,799
Speaker 5: So yeah, where was her husband and all this?

880
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 2: Yeah? Who put that ham down? Nobody's talking about who

881
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:53,840
Speaker 2: dropped the prejudo, how.

882
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:55,280
Speaker 5: Did it affect her relationship?

883
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 2: Great question, and it does. We all get to that

884
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 2: in the last paragraph. It's in a way that you

885
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 2: could probably guess, Oh, her coach got stuck on something. Yeah,

886
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 2: her coach got stuck on No, it's so she slips.

887
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 2: In this lawsuit, it says that she slipped on pursuito

888
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 2: on broker ankle. Alice Cohen and her husband Ronald Cohen

889
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:24,840
Speaker 2: are suing Italy Boston for negligence and loss of consortium.

890
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 2: Is it consortiums, which, for those of us who don't know,

891
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 2: that is a common legal term that refers to sex,

892
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 2: affection and emotional support. So yes. The lawsuit states that

893
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 2: Italy had a duty to ensure that the surfaces of

894
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 2: the floors were completely free of unnecessary danger preshudo. They

895
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 2: failed to do so and Alice slipped. So now they

896
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 2: are suing for damages exceeding fifty thousand US dollars. The

897
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 2: exact amount will be determined by a Massachusetts court.

898
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:10,880
Speaker 5: If their relationship, yes, we're you know, going, well, it

899
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 5: couldn't be either way. This is either the sweetest connective

900
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 5: tissue that they had that they liked to file suits together.

901
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:21,959
Speaker 5: This is something, this is their their thing. They both love.

902
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 5: Is fighting ridiculous injustices or it's an explanation of how

903
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 5: terrible their relationship is in that they've let proshudo tear

904
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 5: them apart. Because I don't think an injury in you know,

905
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:48,800
Speaker 5: a trauma that's going to solidify you. If you both,

906
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 5: you know, live through that together, seeing each other and

907
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 5: holding space for each other, that's going to make for

908
00:51:57,560 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 5: an even better relationship. And I want to say.

909
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 1: Better set that's right.

910
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 2: And also Perscudo's known it brings you together. When you

911
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 2: put out that cheese board, you're bringing that relationship right back.

912
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:12,360
Speaker 2: You wrap melon with perscudo. I'm a big night in

913
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:17,800
Speaker 2: a household. That's a hot night. Ronald Cohen, who is

914
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 2: the husband and the co plaintiff, cites Italy for causing

915
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 2: his wife's injury and it put a strain on their marriage.

916
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:27,359
Speaker 2: Some Maria is onto something. The lawsuit says he has

917
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 2: suffered quote suffered from the loss of consortium with his

918
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 2: wife Alice as a result of a broken ankle. And

919
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 2: like I said, a loss of consortium refers to the

920
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 2: loss of benefits that a familial or intimate relationship offers

921
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 2: sex is according to Forbes. Forbes that's where we all

922
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 2: go to for our sex information.

923
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 3: So this this man is saying you can't have sex

924
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 3: with his wife because he has a broken ankle. So

925
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,720
Speaker 3: he's suing for fifty thousand dollars. That's what he's saying.

926
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:52,960
Speaker 3: That is what is happening.

927
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 5: Yes, well, wow, somebody is not doing his due diligence.

928
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 5: He's not going down.

929
00:52:59,880 --> 00:53:06,960
Speaker 3: To Yeah there it is, you guilty. Why don't you

930
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:08,920
Speaker 3: hop on the sixth train and take it a few

931
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 3: stops downtown.

932
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:19,360
Speaker 5: I'm that Well, it is kind of sweet in that

933
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:23,839
Speaker 5: they're doing it together, and maybe it is kind of

934
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:27,839
Speaker 5: a maybe this is his way of making amends to

935
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 5: his wife, saying I was shitty and not supportive to

936
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:34,280
Speaker 5: you during this time. I didn't go get the pursudo

937
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:39,879
Speaker 5: for you, right, because that's what he could have done. Said, Oh,
