00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 2: doesn't have like a great headline, but the story is

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,760

Speaker 1: this day. Yes, I just responded to a DM over

25
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: the weekend. That was like I had y'all's voices mixed up.

26
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: It's amazing.

27
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: I don't understand. I mean, it's funny that you could

28
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: look at a photo of somebody and just project the

29
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: voices you've been hearing. But yes, I'm the one without

30
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: a beard. I don't have children, I don't have glass

31
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,919
Speaker 1: I am I'm the shorter one.

32
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: By like an inch or half an inch back outs.

33
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: I am the one with glasses and red reddish hair

34
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: used to be very red. It is very strange when

35
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 2: you because I guess to us, it makes it's it's insane. Also,

36
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: we're recording in the morning. Scott, you just recently woke

37
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: up that congratulations for sleeping in. I know you're a

38
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 2: guy who never sleeps in, true, and so I'm happy

39
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,240

40
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: ten am. We normally record at three pm. So I

41
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: want everybody to listen to this episode. And if you

42
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: think this is a better episode than normally at three pm,

43
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: maybe we switch our times to ten am. So it's

44
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 2: a test. It's a test.

45
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: Life is a journey and we are discovering new things.

46
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,639

67
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what they speak in Hungary. I'm that ignorant.

68
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: In my apologies Hungarian. There you go. So maybe it

69
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:18,200

00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: Really good baths. I can't wait to go to Budapest

78
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: and take a bath. I'm not sure if there are

79
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,239
Speaker 1: any other Hungarian ban animals, but I'm doing my best

80
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: to spread the word. Yes, I teach English at a

81
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: high school here, and I often use the stories from

82
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: your podcast to start conversation with my classes to get

83
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: them talking. Yes, you're a big hit with Hungarian teenage boys,

84
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: and I think that makes me cool by association. Emily,

85
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: you are cool by association. I'm banana of the week.

00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: bet I love it.

88
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 2: Banana of the week. That made my day, or.

89
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: At least that's what I tell myself. Thanks for everything

90
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: you do, spread a little lightness and levity around the world.

91
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: Kisses from Hungry which and then she says, it's pussy pussy.

92
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: That's how it's pronouncing hungry. So we got some pussy pussy,

93
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: as they say in Hungry Emily. Thank you so much.

94
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: And to the Hungarian teenaged boys, respect your teacher and

95
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: just know she's very cool, maybe the coolest teacher in

96
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: all of Hungry.

97
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 2: Pussy pussy, Scottie. I'm giving them right back to you.

98
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: Thank you so thanks to all the international banimals. If

99
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: we didn't list the country that you're currently in, let

100
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: us know. I think it's fantastic you listened to these

101
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: two bosos in Los Angeles.

102
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, Scottie. Last night you sent me a text.

103
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: I was at hot tub and you sent me a

104
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 2: text of a very unique situation you found yourself in.

105
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. Man, I went to the La Kings. That's our

106
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: ice hockey team, our NHL team. They were playing the

107
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: Minnesota Wild. My agency is nice enough to give me

108
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: free tickets too. They have a suite because they're a

109
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: big sports agency also, so I got there early because

110
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: my friend Lee wanted to bring his son, I think,

111
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: maybe to see his first hockey game. When I walked

112
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: into the suite, there was I sat down and a

113
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: spotlight turned and landed on me and then did not move.

114
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: All the other spotlights are swirling, the teams are warming

115
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: You're by yourself, by myself. The whole box is empty,

116
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: completely empty. There was a glitch. I don't know if

117
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: it was intentional, I sure as I hope not, but

118
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: I had a the brightest bright white spotlight on my

119
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: face in this box for low estimate eight minutes, high

120
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: estimate twelve minutes. So we're gonna say ten minutes.

121
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 2: We will post the photo on the Instagram for this

122
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: this episode, it is so funny.

123
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: You know, music's pumping and going on, the teams are

124
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: warming up. The arena's crypto dot com arena, the dumbest

125
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: name for an arena in the history of arena. And

126
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: so I was just like, maybe nobody noticed. So they

127
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: kind of did like a reboot. I could tell where

128
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: like all the power lights went down and then came

129
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: back up, and then it stopped working. But I sat there.

130
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm going to endure this. I'm gonna

131
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: take this because there's probably some person across the arena

132
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: just thinking, why is this spotlight just lighting this dude up.

133
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 2: By himself in a box. Everyone's just like, all, look

134
00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 2: at the set. The richest, saddest man in the world.

135
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 2: No sweet to himself, I know.

136
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: And so then around minutes six or seven of me

137
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: just giggling and sending you that photo. I sent it

138
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: to Molly, I said it to a few friends. I

139
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: had the sudden thought that I was like, oh no,

140
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: this is going to ruin it for my friend's eight

141
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: year old son, Like, you know, he won't he'll be blinded,

142
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: he won't be able to see his first hockey game,

143
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: will have to go stand somewhere else. And then so

144
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: I won't say the kid's name, but we watched the

145
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: game and I think it was his first professional hockey game.

146
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: The Kings won six to nothing, which in ice hockey

147
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: that's incredible. The Kings are a sort of finesse team.

148
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: They don't get in a lot of fistfights. Within ten minutes,

149
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: there was a throw the gloves down, like put your

150
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: Duke's up fistfight, and then there were five more fights

151
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 1: during this game, including at one point every player on

152
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: the ice is fighting somebody else, and even the refs

153
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: are getting pushed. And I'm just watching this little eight

154
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: year old just like, I don't like this part, and

155
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: we're like, don't worry. They go to a box their moms, Yeah,

156
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: let them. He's like really, I'm like, yeah, they go

157
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: to a penalty box where their moms tell them they

158
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: did a bad job. Loved that. So we're up about

159
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: four goals to nothing. It's in the second period and

160
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: he's telling me all these stories and his dad is

161
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: sitting on the opposite side of him, and he whispers

162
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: to me, we're getting along great. I have a child

163
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: like mind. Yeah, I have the mind of a child

164
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: and the intelligence of a child. And he whispers to me, goes,

165
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: don't tell my dad. I go, okay, he goes, don't

166
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: tell him. I said this. I said I won't. He goes,

167
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: this other team sucks balls, and I go, your secret's

168
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: safe with me. But so anyways, his dad does listen

169
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: to the podcast, and the other team that night did

170
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: suck balls. So good for you. We will post the

171
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 1: photo of me being blinded for six straight minutes.

172
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 2: Oh, I love it so much. It was so funny, funny.

173
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: Glad you enjoyed it. I knew. I was like, I know,

174
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 1: who will understand how stupid this is?

175
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 2: All right, I'm going to tell you about She's so

176
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 2: kana Coury right now.

177
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm curious.

178
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 2: I'm so excited to tell you about him. This was

179
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 2: sent in by Marie k Artist, and Marie just sent

180
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 2: me the Wikipedia link. Actually, that's fine. It was an

181
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 2: Instagram post from Depths of Wikipedia, which is an excellent

182
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 2: Instagram account where they just find very strange things from

183
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 2: Wikipedia and just post an image. You get a little

184
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 2: bit of information. It's kind of neat.

185
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: That's cool.

186
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 2: So then I looked it up myself. So she's so Kanakoury.

187
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 2: He was born eighteen ninety one, uh it, and he

188
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 2: died nineteen eighty three. Nice long life, Yeah, good life.

189
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 2: He holds the Guinness World Record for the longest time

190
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: to complete a marathon. So here is the story Scotti. So,

191
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 2: first off, he grew up on the island of Kyoshu.

192
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 2: His family sold sake. Every day he would run four

193
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: miles to school. I love that In November nineteen eleven,

194
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 2: at the age of twenty, Kanakori raced in the domestic

195
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 2: trials for the nineteen twelve Stockholm Olympics.

196
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: So he is a runner.

197
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 2: He was good at running, where he reportedly set a

198
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: marathon world record at two hours, thirty minutes and thirty

199
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 2: three seconds, although the course was just twenty five miles.

200
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 2: He was selected as one of the two Japanese athletes

201
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 2: to attend an event. Both athletes had to pay their

202
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 2: own travel expenses of eighteen hundred yen, and Kanakori's classmate

203
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 2: conducted a nationwide fundraiser which collected fifteen hundred yen. She's

204
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 2: those a nationwide This is great. She's those oldest brother

205
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 2: Senatesuku Kanakouri collected three hundred yen. To prepare, he trained

206
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 2: with Kano Ygaro Boba oh, the founder of judo. Oh

207
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 2: my god. To prepare, he trained with Kanu Juguro, the

208
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 2: founder of judo. That's crazy.

209
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: That's cool, that guy that created judo. Think of what

210
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: you have to think of what that guy was imagining

211
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: when he's like, I bet whenever anybody comes to punch

212
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: me or push me, I can pull them closer and

213
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: throw them beyond me. Somebody was just imagining that in

214
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: his head and then figured out how to teach it.

215
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 2: That's crazy. I would have assumed Judo is much older

216
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 2: than the turn of the century nineteen hundreds. Yeah, man,

217
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 2: so kind of Curry is best known for disappearing during

218
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 2: the marathon race in the nineteen was Tuckholm Olympics. So

219
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 2: he gets there? Okay, so he like he gets into

220
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 2: the Olympics is early days of the Olympics. Gets there?

221
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 2: Kind of Coury was the first Japanese athlete to qualify

222
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 2: for an Olympics. Oh, my god, a lot of pressure

223
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 2: on this dude. He embarked on a difficult eighteen day

224
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 2: long trip to Stockholm, first by ship, then by train,

225
00:12:55,040 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 2: all through the Trans Siberian Railway. My god. When he

226
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 2: finally arrived in Stockholm, kind of Corey was weak from

227
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 2: the long journey to make matters, where he struggled to

228
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 2: sleep during the white nights, and he had problems with

229
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 2: the local food. The Japanese team coach Hyozo O'mori was

230
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 2: mostly bedridden due to herbert tuberculosis. This is not a

231
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 2: great Olympic team so far.

232
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: No, he's already running a different marathon at this point.

233
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 2: And failed to give kind of Corey's sufficient pre race training.

234
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 2: The race was held in your Stockholm amidst a heat wave.

235
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: Throughout the race, dozens of competitors dropped out, including runner

236
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 2: Francisca Francisco Lazzaro, whose mid race collapse and subsequent death

237
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 2: made him the first Olympic fatality. Oh my god, people

238
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 2: died during this marathon.

239
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, not worth it, guys.

240
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 2: The reigning Olympic gold medalist Johnny Hayes called the event

241
00:13:51,240 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 2: a disgrace to syphilists. This is an amazing Olympics. Kanakuri

242
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 2: to experienced debilitating hyperthermia, which is, I believe, another word

243
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:12,239
Speaker 2: for heat stroke. About sixteen miles into the race, sixteen

244
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 2: an exhausted Kana Kurry left the course and desperately stumbled

245
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 2: into a nearby garden party, where he drank orange juice

246
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 2: for an hour.

247
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: This that's the city, see like, I SA a movie writer,

248
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, that's the scene. You start the movie

249
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: with that scene. A bunch of Swedes just hanging out

250
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: drinking oj and then a emaciated, heat stroking Japanese guy

251
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: jogs in.

252
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 2: Who they've probably never seen. They probably never seen a

253
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 2: Japanese person right, oh, nineteen twelve. No, they're just sitting there,

254
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 2: I mean, like crazy. So he sat at this party

255
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 2: for an hour drinking orange juice. Also, if your options

256
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 2: are die or drink arngjuice for an hour, I'm gonna go, Jude,

257
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 2: drink Arnge juice for an.

258
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: Hour every day of the week. You kidding me, every

259
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: day of the week. I'm drinking O Jay. Then Nan here.

260
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 2: It is embarrassed by his failure. This seems very Japanese.

261
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 2: He silently returned to Japan without notifying race officials, so

262
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 2: he never crossed the finish line. Nothing. He literally went

263
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 2: to that party and then just went and got on

264
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 2: a train and went home. Since kind of Corey did

265
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 2: not finish, race officials gave the consolation prize a.

266
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 4: Large wooden spoon. I mean, this is early Olympics better.

267
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 4: I think this sounds like the greatest Olympics. Besides the

268
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 4: Italian guy who died, everything else seems great.

269
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 2: They gave the large wooden spoon to a Russian kind

270
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 2: of Coury's disappearance spurred humorous stories in Sweden about the

271
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 2: supposedly lost Japanese runner. Sweden all added schittso kind of

272
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 2: Coury to its missing person's list, and his name remained

273
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 2: there for fifty years because they had no idea what

274
00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 2: happened to him. A Swedish reporter discovered him work as

275
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 2: a geography teacher in southern Japan in nineteen sixty seven,

276
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: and the Swedish television offered kind of Corey the chance

277
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 2: to complete his marathon. Beautiful, So this is fifty fifty

278
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 2: five years later, so he's a seventy five year old

279
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 2: I guess he accepted immediately. Upon arriving in Sweden, he

280
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 2: jumped off the plane and jogged around the tarmac to

281
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 2: warm up his legs and showed great vigor. According to

282
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 2: the Associated Press, on March twentieth, nineteen sixty seven, he

283
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 2: finished the marathon. His official time was fifty four years,

284
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 2: eight months, six days, thirty two minutes and twenty point

285
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 2: three seconds. He commented, it was a long trip along

286
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 2: the way. I got married, had six children and ten grandchildren.

287
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 2: While he was in Sweden, Canakory returned to the garden

288
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 2: villa where he had gulped orange juice. He met Banked

289
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 2: Petra Banked man. That's a great name, tough name. B

290
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 2: E and GT Banked, the son of the original hosts,

291
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 2: while they drank more orange juice. Bank explained that one

292
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 2: of the Peter family's treasured heirlooms was the scroll with

293
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 2: Japanese writing that Kannakuri had given the family to thank

294
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 2: them for their hospitality. Upon inspecting the scroll, Kana Coury

295
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 2: sadly told the family, it's just an old customs form.

296
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 2: First off, he was running, yes with his old customs form,

297
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 2: which seems insane. Yeah, so he and I also love

298
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 2: it that he like gave it to them as if

299
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 2: it was like some beautiful gift, and it is. It

300
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 2: still is. It's a better story now.

301
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,719
Speaker 1: It certainly has way. Yeah, what is it called provence

302
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: or whatever providence? What it is, whatever it is in

303
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: the art world. It's like, this is the history of

304
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: the thing. That document is worth so much more than

305
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: an official document.

306
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 2: Ugh, I love it so much. He died at the

307
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 2: age of ninety two in nineteen eighty three in his

308
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 2: hometown of Tamana in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. We raise one

309
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 2: today for she's so kind of Cory.

310
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: Raise your ojs. I'm gonna go drink some Mars juice

311
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: after this just for this gentleman. That is incredible. That

312
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: is incredible.

313
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 2: I love that story. It just kept like unfolding in

314
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 2: ways that were truly delightful.

315
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: It is also I guess, like even the knowledge okay,

316
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: so the knowledge that the Olympics were happening, where they

317
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: were happening, what events were happening, how to qualify I

318
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: guess that was all over telegraph and newspaper.

319
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 2: Right, like, yeah, and you would find out, but it would.

320
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the part. It's like it took him eighteen

321
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: days to get there by ship. One boy, I wish

322
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: we could travel by ship to places like that. I mean,

323
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: it would it would be Oh, speaking of I saw

324
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,959
Speaker 1: that there is Amtrak has a train from San Diego

325
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: to Seattle with sleeper cars. It's nine hundred dollars and

326
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: they make your beds for you. The meals are included.

327
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 1: And I was like, if I had known this sooner

328
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: when we were going to our Seattle Banana show, we

329
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 1: should have done that. I already booked my flight and

330
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: didn't take one hour to get there or whatever it is.

331
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 2: Two hours as opposed to three days.

332
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: Yes, but I was looking at it, I'm like, yeah, see,

333
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 1: next time you and I sell a TV show, we

334
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: do have to do our writer's room with We'll pay

335
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: for our writers to get little sleeper cars that we'll

336
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: just work and watch the West go by.

337
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 2: It is so I love it so much. I just

338
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 2: wonder about that writer's room. My one question about that

339
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 2: is because we've talked about this a lot, and that

340
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 2: this has been an idea of.

341
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: Dream I dream.

342
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 2: I just wonder where you talk, you know what I mean,

343
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 2: Like you need to be able to like everybody be

344
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 2: like chatting for a while, undisturbed.

345
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 1: The bar car right there has to be a bar car.

346
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 2: Yes, so, but it's like other strangers are just going

347
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 2: to be coming through and stuff. You know, you guys

348
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 2: are doing bits and probably inappropriately. Yeah.

349
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 1: When I was writing The Machine, the funniest part of

350
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: the Bert's real story or the story of the movies

351
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: based on was at his drunkest blackout on the train

352
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: where another mob ran the trains that so he goes

353
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 1: on and the the Banditi's or whatever that were, they

354
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 1: were like, Hey, now we only control this party.

355
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 2: That's Egor, the original one is Egor exactly.

356
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: And now you're going onto this train and another Egor.

357
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 2: Two more Egors. He's like, this is Egor.

358
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: Which is very I mean, and I actually switched names

359
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 1: and genders and stuff in my skip just because I'm like,

360
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: we can't. It's very hard to type egor one, ego

361
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: two or three. So but on the train, when he

362
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: starts drinking and they knew who he was, they're like,

363
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: you're the machine and then he's like, you party with us.

364
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: He robs the bar, car at it like in a

365
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: half blackout state. But the funniest part to me is

366
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: that Bert was saying and he says it in the

367
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 1: stand up and all that, but he was telling me

368
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: off the record. He was like, they were like grab that,

369
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 1: and he's like okay, And then he looked at the

370
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: bartender's eyes and realized the guy was terrified for his life.

371
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: And then he was like, am I robbing these people?

372
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: And they were like yes, and he's just taking breads

373
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: and cheese and vodka and beers. And I'm like that

374
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: moment of drunken clarity which we've all had on benders

375
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 1: on nights, that things are going wild and suddenly you

376
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,239
Speaker 1: look around and you're like, oh no, I need to

377
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: leave this situation. Then you're on a train with Russian gangsters.

378
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 2: He has an addendum because I just did four shows

379
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 2: with him. He has an addendum now to that story

380
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 2: where he says, after he posted it and it went viral,

381
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 2: which is also the details of how it went viral

382
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 2: are crazy. That he posted it, he went to sleep

383
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 2: and his wife was like, I think this is going

384
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,239
Speaker 2: to go viral, and he's like, you don't know how

385
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 2: the internet works. We went to sleep and they woke

386
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 2: up and it already had three million views, and now

387
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 2: it's been seen eighty eight million times. It's so insane

388
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 2: that the story is just so like it grips people.

389
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 2: But the first comment that was like highlighted underneath the

390
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 2: video on Facebook was a woman he went to school

391
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 2: with who took was in that Russian class, who took

392
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 2: that trip with them and was on that train. Yeah,

393
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 2: and it just says and it just says, I was

394
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 2: on this train with Bart with Bert Bert, and he

395
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 2: did he robbed all of us, that asshole.

396
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: I wrote a character named Maggie that was like a Lovenges.

397
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: I don't know if that name even stayed in the

398
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 1: final draft, but it was it was exactly that. It

399
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: was the fellow student witnessing the other student drunkenly rob

400
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: all of their classmates and so crazy crazy. How were

401
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 1: those shows? We never talked about those shows.

402
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 2: They were crazy. I mean, like it was nineteen thousand

403
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 2: people in Toronto? Is thirteen thousand? Yeah, yeah, they're arenas,

404
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 2: they're gigantic.

405
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: Nineteen thousand people.

406
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was at the Scotia Bank Arena in Toronto.

407
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: It was crazy. That's the biggest show you've ever done.

408
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 2: Yes, nineteen thousand feel.

409
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: I mean besides bananas live shows? How did it feel

410
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: to have the energy like we're the laughs rolling towards

411
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: the stage. Was it quiet because it's so big? What's

412
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: that feel like?

413
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 2: It is the I think the most difficult part about

414
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 2: it is that there's a bounce. It's a concrete, right,

415
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 2: you know, stadium, so sound bounces, and it's big enough

416
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 2: that sound bounces with a delay because it has to

417
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 2: travel bounce off that back wall. And these are giant speakers.

418
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 2: These speakers fill a stadium, So you have speakers on

419
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 2: stage that are immediate. They're just sending out your voice

420
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 2: as you speak, but then you're also hearing beyond it,

421
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 2: your voice bouncing off the back wall. So it is disorienting.

422
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 2: For like the beginning, you have to really be hyper

423
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 2: confident in what you're saying because you could get lost

424
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 2: very easily. But his fans were actually very like they

425
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 2: seemed like genuine comedy fans, like they weren't I've opened

426
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 2: for people. I've definitely opened for people where it is.

427
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 2: They are not necessarily comedy fans. They are fans of

428
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 2: a personality, and therefore whatever you're gonna do, they're not

429
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 2: much They're not much interested. And you would be surprised,

430
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 2: honestly at who who those crowds are. Sometimes you think like, oh,

431
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 2: there's gonna be a great comedy crowd, and you're like, no,

432
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 2: it's not. It's they just like him or her. Oh yeah,

433
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 2: but I was I was surprised. I honestly thought it

434
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 2: would be more difficult than it was. They were very

435
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 2: giving and very kind audience.

436
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: And then you've got your family together, something I saw

437
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: on your Instagram stories.

Speaker 1: Dude, that's a big one.

Speaker 2: And I may I had some jokes making fun of him.

449
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 2: So it was really great.

450
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 1: Well maybe they bounced off the walls and just in

451
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 1: his head it was a cacophony of your voice. That's

452
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: a big deal for your dad to see you playing arena.

453
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,600

00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: upi dot com. Of course. Ben Hooper, who is truly

465
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: the best in the bananas news business Poper. When in doubt,

466
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 1: I can go to UPI dot com and we Ben Hooper,

467
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: if this is a real dude, man, you have done

468
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: us a service.

469
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 2: Thank you, and we are all big fans of UPI,

470
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 2: the Upper Peninsula informer uh servicing the Upper Peninsula of

471
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 2: Michigan for over fifty years. I have no idea what

472
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 2: UPI is. UPI is like AP, isn't it.

473
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. They do have regular news, but then

474
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: they also have a section called odd News, which seems

475
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: to be jockeyed by the great best in the business,

476
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: Ben Hooper. And also, if it is UPI, I've always

477
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 1: wanted to go to the Upper Peninsula. Why does Michigan

478
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: own it? Why is it not Wisconsin? I want to

479
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: explore that part of the country. I won't be able

480
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: to do it this summer, but next summer I think

481
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: I'm going to like fly in rent a car and

482
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 1: just drive around up there. Yeah. I don't know what

483
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 1: they do, eat cheese, kurds and swim in the lake.

484
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: That seems healthy to do. At the same time, I

485
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 1: love that. Okay, March fifteenth, so pretty recently.

486
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 2: Okay, wait, hold on one second, I do I now

487
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 2: found out what UPI is. Thank God, I've been wondering.

488
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 2: We've done this show almost four years to the day,

489
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,199
Speaker 2: and I've always wondered what UPI is because it does

490
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 2: seem to have a lot of weird, strange news.

491
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 1: It was, your dude, created.

492
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 2: In nineteen fifty eight upon the merger of the United

493
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 2: Press with the International News Service, so it is a

494
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 2: competitor with Associated Press, but it just has much more

495
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 2: weirder news.

496
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're odd news is really great.

497
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 2: Good job UPI, Good job Ben Cooper.

498
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: I need some UPI merch. A museum in Saint Louis,

499
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: Missouri I've heard of that successfully broke a Guinness World

500
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: record by gathering three hundred and fifty five people together

501
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: to wear underwear on their heads at the same time.

502
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 1: Great idea.

503
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 2: I love this.

504
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,479
Speaker 1: The city museum, which you and I have actually been

505
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 1: to when we were jet skiing, attempted the record for

506
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 1: the most people wearing underwear on their heads for three

507
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: fourteen day, a locally celebrated holiday on March fourteenth, in

508
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: honor of the city's three fourteen area code. It doesn't

509
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: take much of Missouri.

510
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 2: Isn't it. I mean, am I stupid? Is it also

511
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 2: Pie No three point one four having I don't know, Yeah,

512
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 2: it is pie. That's crazy that it's not that they're like,

513
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 2: it's our area code. Why don't they call it area

514
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 2: pie day? I don't know. That's dumb, all right, Pie day. No,

515
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 2: that's right, But ten am doesn't make me funnier.

516
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: The museum aimed to beat the previous record of two

517
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy people wearing underwear on their head, which

518
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: was set in Aperville, Illinois, in twenty twelve. So this

519
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: was a long standing record. Now, the museum did provide

520
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: white briefs, new white briefs for the attempt at the

521
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: Guinness World Record, and they announced that at two point

522
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: thirty pm the record had officially been broken. Like I said,

523
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: with three hundred and fifty five human people wearing underpants

524
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: as hats. First of all, we can beat this.

525
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 2: That's exactly what I was going to say. We can

526
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 2: beat this.

527
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: I think our biggest selling show will be this year.

528
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: But we've had four hundred and forty people at our shows.

529
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 2: Denver, maybe Denver in September. We can't tell you anything

530
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 2: about what's happening in September, and Denver. It's not confirmed.

531
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 2: We're trying to get it confirmed, and it's going to

532
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 2: be the biggest thing the Bananas has ever done. On

533
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 2: September seventh. We're trying right now.

534
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: We're trying. But if we do, if we do, I

535
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,959
Speaker 1: think that's what we should do. Yeah, what we'll do

536
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: is easily beat this. We'll get four hundred bananimals to

537
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: wear underwear on their head, then we will donate it

538
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: to an unhoused shelter, and then we win.

539
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 2: Twice, and then we win twice twice.

540
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: Hello, that's what the Banana boys are all about. Winning twice.

541
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 2: We might need to do a GoFundMe for the four

542
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 2: hundred pair of underwear is going to cost.

543
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: I know, but I'll look into it. I'll do a little.

544
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: I also think bulk underwear if it could be. I mean,

545
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna buy yellow underwear. I'm gonna buy crisp

546
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: white briefs for four hundred plus bananimals. I mean maybe

547
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: for twenty. You know, it's Denver, that's a real four

548
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: twenty friendly city. Yeah. Yeah, the museums.

549
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 2: So if you do four twenty, there's a chance people

550
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 2: won't break it just because they respect that it's for twenty.

551
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: What do you mean, Oh, because they wanted to stay

552
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: there exactly. I see. The City Museum previously earned a

553
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: Guinness World Record title for the largest pencil. I mean

554
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: what I'm hearing is you and I need to do

555
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: a show at the City Museum in Saint Louis. They

556
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: also had the longest seesaw, the largest tennis racket, and

557
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: it holds an unofficial record for the world's largest pair

558
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: of underpants, which are on display at the facility. Incredible

559
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: banana story, incredible, this is wonderful. I love. We were

560
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: the only two people whoever orchestrated some of jet skiing

561
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: through the Saint Louis Arch. Really, now that's true, John Daly,

562
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: nobody else has ever jet skied. We dragged it on land.

563
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 2: We just got it. Was me and John Deally on

564
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 2: a jet ski underneath Yes, the arch, there is no

565
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 2: water underneath the arch. We just had the whole crew

566
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 2: dragging this jet ski with a sodid waving people in

567
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 2: the raid.

568
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: We had like three people say up yeah, and then

569
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: we pulled a jet ski through the impressive Saint Louis Arch.

570
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 2: It is very impressive.

571
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: It's way better than most national monuments. Or whatever state monuments.

572
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: It's incredible.

573
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 2: I would say the two things that I have seen

574
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 2: up close of like things like that that I was

575
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 2: most impressed by are Saint Louis Arch and the Eiffel Tower.

576
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 2: I would put Saint Louis Arch next to the Eiffel

577
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 2: Tower as like, this is pretty awesome to witness.

578
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:36,760

00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 2: This was on ABC News That's Real, written by Carolyn Thompson.

649
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 2: A lot of people say she's the best.

650
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,040

651
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:28,319

Speaker 2: gonna see where everybody comes down on this one.

654
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 1: Okay.

655
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 2: The owner of an alligator recently seized by conservation officers

656
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 2: in New York is fighting for its return, saying the

657
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 2: reptile he named Albert and has shared a home with

658
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 2: for more than three decades is a gentle giant that's

659
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,399
Speaker 2: no danger to anyone, offers officers. A week ago met

660
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 2: Tony Cavallero in the driveway of his suburban Buffalo.

661
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: Tony Cavallero, he's on righteous hemstones. He plays Keith, he's

662
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 1: a good friend of mine. To me, that's so funny.

663
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 2: Buffalo home with a warrant before sedating the twelve foot,

664
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 2: seven hundred and fifty pounds alligator, taping his mouth and

665
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 2: driving him away in a van. Cavallero's license to keep Albert,

666
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 2: who is thirty four years old, had expired in twenty

667
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 2: twenty one, the Department of Environmental Conservation said, but even

668
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 2: if it had been renewed, Cavallero had let other people

669
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 2: pet the alliator even get in the pool with him,

670
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 2: providing grounds for the removal under the rules for keeping

671
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 2: animals classified as dangerous, the department said. Cavallero, sixty four,

672
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 2: sees Albert differently. His alligator was born and raised in

673
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 2: captivity and has never showed signs of aggression towards people

674
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 2: or other animals, He said. He recalled finding Albert curled

675
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 2: up with his dog on the dog's bed when the

676
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 2: alligator was smaller. He's just a big baby, Cavallero said Tuesday, Yeah,

677
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 2: that sounds like it. Cavallero has hired a lawyer in

678
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 2: hopes to getting Albert back, and his efforts are being

679
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 2: backed by his own neighbors. As well as strangers across

680
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 2: social media. An online petition has been signed by more

681
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 2: than one hundred and twenty thousand people, and fans have

682
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:07,439
Speaker 2: created free Albert t shirts, Oh What a Friend, even

683
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 2: penda song for the cause, Oh Albert please come Home

684
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 2: passings while storming guitar in the video posted to Facebook.

685
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 2: Cavallero has lived with Albert for more than half of

686
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 2: his life. Of Cavallero's life and thirty of Albert's thirty

687
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 2: four years after buying the alligator in an Ohio reptile

688
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 2: show when it was two months old, and considers him

689
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:33,320
Speaker 2: an emotional support animal. He spent one hundred and twenty

690
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 2: thousand dollars on a custom addition to his house designed

691
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 2: around Albert, complete with heated floors, a filtering indoor pond

692
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:47,359
Speaker 2: with a waterfall and a spajet, tropical plants, and a bar.

693
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 2: I think Albert really appreciates the bar. He loves to

694
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:52,280
Speaker 2: have a drink.

695
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: That guy that is so funny.

696
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 2: No, it's hard to enter the space, Cavalier said, it's

697
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 2: so empty. He said Cavallero, who I know, this is heartbreaking.

698
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 2: It's like thirty It's been with them for thirty years,

699
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,439
Speaker 2: he's letting it like, and then here's the deal he

700
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 2: Cavallero acknowledges that acquaintances and their children have also been

701
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 2: up close in person with Albert, posing for pictures, petting him,

702
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 2: and occasionally getting in the water, which seems like, why

703
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 2: is anybody getting in the water with the alligator? Yeah,

704
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 2: but he sees, says, Albert's so affectionate that he hurries

705
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 2: to the side of the pool to greet Cavallero's eighty

706
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 2: four year old mother. When she visits. She would sit

707
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 2: in his room with him and read with him, laying

708
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 2: his head on her foot. This is I mean, like,

709
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:44,359
Speaker 2: look it is. I mean it sounds like this is

710
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 2: these two have been together for their whole lives, so

711
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 2: why take him away? And at the same time, it's

712
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 2: a it's an it is the wildest animal out there,

713
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 2: Yeah it is. It is a dinosaur.

714
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 1: Not have them swim with people like this the every

715
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 1: on land. I feel like I could do pretty well

716
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: to avoid being killed back eater in the water. Good

717
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: is dead. Sitting duck, I mean literally sitting duck.

718
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 2: But also it's like, why this is the thing with

719
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 2: human beings where it's just like you got a good

720
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 2: thing going, then then you gotta let like kids get

721
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 2: into a pool with the alligator and it's like, why

722
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 2: are we why are we doing that?

723
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 1: You are pushing it so far, sir. Yeah, that's that

724
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 1: is where they lost me. I my team, give it back.

725
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 2: Team, give it back thirty years that that alligator doesn't

726
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 2: know anybody other than this guy.

727
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:46,439
Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, I know it seems tortuous. He's sad. Yes,

728
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: let's get him back. I will wear a free Albert

729
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: shirt as long as there's a picture of a gator

730
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,879
Speaker 1: on it. And yeah, my vote is give him back. Right,

731
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: but give him back and say no more swound to

732
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: be in the pool with Albert.

733
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't have people, you don't have children petting them.

734
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: You know.

735
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 2: It's like that's the thing. This is like, this is

736
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 2: the situation where it's been thirty five years and then

737
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:12,399
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, I mean, I guess the best

738
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 2: way for Tony to go, yes, would be for Albert

739
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 2: to eat him.

740
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: Yes, just a gentle loving death role in his own pool.

741
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: And then Albert go sits at the bar and shakes

742
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: a perfect gimlet and just dies himself. It's a murder

743
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 1: suicide between these two inner species lovebirds.

744
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 2: Let them do it, let them live the way they

745
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:37,800
Speaker 2: want to live. Keep the kids out of the pool.

746
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: I agree. It's funny. There was a just when you

747
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: were like Albert loves the Bar when I was ten,

748
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 1: fifteen years ago, fifteen years ago, when I was dating

749
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: a young lady from Lamar County, Mississippi is a dry county,

750
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: and you don't really get that where we're from, right,

751
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: there were no dry counties in New Jersey.

752
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 2: Strange.

753
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 1: There's some weird like Pilgrim Draconi and liquor laws like

754
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 1: no alcohol stores or beer stores on Sundays or even

755
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: just having liquor stores. It's kind of crazy.

756
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's a Massachusetts thing. No Sunday liquor stores.

757
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,840
Speaker 1: Weird, and Maryland doesn't have them in grocery stores. It's like,

758
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: it wasn't until I moved to Atlanta or California that

759
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, you can just buy groceries and a

760
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:20,439
Speaker 1: handle of Tito's at the same time.

761
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 2: Fantastic. Oh yeah, it was. It's like, this really makes

762
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 2: things a lot easier.

763
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is great, And now I know I'm going

764
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: to eat something before I drink nineteen vodka sodas. But

765
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: they The next closest county over from Lamar was Forrest County.

766
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,760
Speaker 2: It was Malnest County and in Mississippi.

767
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: Are you kidding? It was there some of the some

768
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: of the nights I had at the mugshots in Forrest County. Uh,

769
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: they have it's a bar where they have swings. They

770
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: have tables that you can sit on, benches that are

771
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: roped to the ceiling. And I'm like, I thought of this,

772
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: just never feared getting sued at all. Like just just

773
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:05,400

776
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 2: where it's just like in Mississippi and that area Mississippi,

777
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 2: like people don't know what lawyers are, Like they're just

778
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,800
Speaker 2: they don't know a lawyer and if like if something happened,

779
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 2: they wouldn't think to sue.

780
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: I love, Well, that's true. There was a different way thinking.

781
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: But like the first time I went down there was like, oh,

782
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: we need to go get we need to restock beers.

783
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: So you had to drive the other county and directly

784
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,240
Speaker 1: across the county line. The liquor store was called Gators.

785
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: That was the first place you could get booze on

786
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,640

00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 2: in order to go to.

789
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: Probably twenty minutes. But then the liquor stores were on

790
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: the line, like you were in one county in another

791
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 1: county and you could step over and it was like

792
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,480

Speaker 1: at the house, they're like, yeah, we never really. I

821
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 1: was like, you can't do that. You're allowed to drive

822
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 1: with beer, you just can't have them open. And if

Speaker 2: of like having so genius multiple fit like things in

885
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 2: stores inside stores. You know, if you, evente, if you

886
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 2: put enough stores inside a store, Scottie, and you kind

887
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 2: of like build it out so you have like almost

888
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 2: like a big structure where there's like a lot of

889
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 2: stores that you would like go to all at the

890
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:56,759

00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 2: all again, Oh.

892
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: You build them all. That's why. Yeah, that was a

893
00:48:59,000 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: shopping mall.

894
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 2: We still we're now just going back. We're like, no,

895
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:06,879
Speaker 2: now the ball is inside just one other store that's like.

896
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:10,799
Speaker 1: Video interview podcast where it's I'm just like, well, just

897
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 1: give this guy a desk and a band, and now

898
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: we're back to late night chatch exactly. It's so weird

899
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 1: that everybody's like this is doing huge. All these new

900
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 1: comics are all these old comics are like famous because

901
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 1: they interview people. You're like, yeah, that was Letterman, that

902
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:27,320
Speaker 1: is currently Kimmel. Yeah, it's very weird how we go back.

903
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 1: So at first I was like, this is stupid, and

904
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 1: then you get older and you know, this is the

905
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 1: most genius idea to put the Miami Grill in Henderson,

906
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 1: Nevada's Walmart also because that's on the way from southern California.

907
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:43,359
Speaker 1: So now I'm definitely gonn to stop. You're going next

908
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 1: time I go to Vagas Oh.

909
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, next time you go to this sphere.

910
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 1: Oh I can't wait. I can't wait, fear, I can't

911
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 1: wait to see.

912
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 2: Beautifully dumb thing Like it's just like, oh, look at this,

913
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 2: this is so crazy.

914
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 1: I will go to the sphere when Daft Punk comes

915
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 1: out of retirement plays a show there, and I'm gonna

916
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:07,839
Speaker 1: invite you and everybody we know and we will go

917
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 1: lose our minds in the sphere to daft punk playing

918
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:17,279
Speaker 1: robot rock, I'll be enhanced and crying. So while the

919
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:20,360
Speaker 1: grocery store is no stranger Walmart, that is to in

920
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 1: store restaurants. Many Walmart locations have a McDonald's or a

921
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 1: Charlie's cheese steak. It's no Tubbies. The Henderson store is

922
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 1: the first to house on Miami grill. This is the

923
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:33,800
Speaker 1: part that was confusing to be you think Miami grill,

924
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 1: maybe you think you know rotisserie chicken. Maybe you think seafood,

925
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:39,800
Speaker 1: you know fresh seafood.

926
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:45,400

958
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:36,799
Speaker 1: and we had different family members, and the grandmother was

959
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:39,279
Speaker 1: from the Dominican Republic, did not speak unless she was

960
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:41,759
Speaker 1: speaking Spanish, and we had a translator on set, but

961
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 1: we also had her granddaughter was getting married the on

962
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 1: the pilot, and so we were trying to get like

963
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,719
Speaker 1: some funny soundbites from the friends and family of the

964
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 1: couple getting married, and so we were like, who's your

965
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 1: celebrity crush, and the grandmother like nods and she responds

966
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 1: and they all like and was Pitbull And then we

967
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:05,440

968
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:07,680

969
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 1: I'm like, we'll ask her what she likes about pit Bull?

970
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:12,520

972
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:20,279
Speaker 1: understand and she said his flashlight and they all start

973

974
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:28,800

975
