13
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: is healthy. She's just in another city. I am in Missoula, Montana.

14
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,199
Speaker 2: I'd like to meet this girl. I know you would.

15
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 2: I think she's marvelous.

16
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: She's the best. That's my father. His name is fair

17
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: Chris Fairbanks Senor. Early on someone named him James. It

18
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: would have been more convenient to name you Chris Fairbanks Senior.

19
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: But someone would have to have the foresight.

20
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 2: Longest name of the baby book, Christopher. Did you know that? Well?

21
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: That makes sense because it gets cut off a lot

22
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: of teachers thought my name was Christoph just t O

23
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: p h E. And and then you know inevitably I

24
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: would have to, you realize, do an accent all year

25
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: and pretend to be from another land.

26
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: Multi syllable names run the risk of being shortened, and

27
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 2: that's something you think about when you name a kid. Yeah,

28
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: and I didn't want you to be Chris. I wanted

29
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: you to be Christopher. Right.

30
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sorry, but I go by Chris now my

31
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 1: driver's license and my credit card, said Christopher. But Chris

32
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: is just easier, and fine. I didn't mean to slight you.

33
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: Fine.

34
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: I sometimes if I want someone to really take me seriously,

35
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: I go, well, you know that. When I moved to

36
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, a guy named a guy named Christopher Fairbanks

37
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: came to one of my shows at MBAR and he said, hey,

38
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: we have a problem. I think we have. We have

39
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: the same name. I do stand up and act and

40
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: you do stand up and act. And and I said,

41
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: well you you go by Christopher. I pretty much go

42
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: by Chris. Problem solved. Plus we look a lot different, so.

43
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: Older guy, yeah, yeah, we keep in touch.

44
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: Is it he likes?

45
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: Is he a fair Bank? He's a fair Banks. Christopher

46
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 2: fair Bank is an English actor that is in a

47
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:32,880

00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: He's in uh uh.

49
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 2: He was in the Guardians of the Galaxy. He was

50
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 2: in I think he's in a lot of stuff English.

51
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 2: Nobody's going to give a rats ask about this. But

52
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 2: we were fair Bank when I was a little kid. Really, yeah,

53
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 2: and the whole family was fair Bank. And for some

54
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: reason we leave Minnesota and hey, you know we're on

55
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 2: the highway, and how would you like to have a

56
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: different last nag? Really it was during your life that

57
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 2: So my birth certificate, I think, says fair Bank.

58
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: That's amazing to me. Yes, that sounds there's fair Banks

59
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: everywhere I know by being fair Bank, does that make

60
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: us more English?

61
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 2: Yeah? If there's more than one of you, your fair Banks?

62
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,320

Speaker 1: my ancestors first made love and babies. But I am

64
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: scotch Irish. What is that? Is it scotch Irish?

65
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 2: Right? Scott's Irish? My understanding is is Irish people who

66
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 2: came before the Potato familine to the United States wanted

67
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: to distinguish themselves from the Irish that came over after

68
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 2: the Potato famine or during the potato famine in Ireland

69
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 2: right around eighteen forty and fifty okay, And so they

70
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 2: call themselves scotch Irish, which is.

71
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: We are not we are not Irish and we are

72
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: not Scottish exactly.

73
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 2: That's what I said. What do you mean we're scotch Irish?

74
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:07,440

00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: And we just passed what used to be Missoula, that

109
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 2: convenience stores where the original Hellgate was. Missoula used to

110
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 2: be called Hellgate, but it was tough to get mail

111
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 2: order brides to come to Hallgate. Imagine that really no,

112

113
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 2: the original site of Hellgate or Missoula.

114
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: Like the city Hall may as well have been there exactly,

115
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: and mail order brides came here because the workingman, the minor,

116
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: the gold panter didn't have time to go out and date.

117
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 2: Imagine how desperate you'd have to be.

132
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: Went to Spokane. We went to have her. I had

133
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: my fortieth A lot of people don't know I'm forty

134
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 1: because I use a lot of lotion, but I am

135
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: forty years old. All of my friends collectively turned forty

136
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: around this time or around this year. So we went

137
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 1: up in the woods and have her and stayed in cabins,

138
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: and they were haunted. I guarantee you they were. I

139
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: can tell when there's a presence. I don't know what

140
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: to do with that. But lights were turning off and on,

141
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: and that's enough for me. And maybe it's an electrical issue.

142
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 2: But yeah, it could have been just a bad electrician.

143
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it seemed like they would.

144
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 2: Turn on luminum romex. Maybe maybe it was that.

145
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: You know, and I don't want to like make you

146
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: feel bad, but the wiring you did in the house

147
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: on Van Buren. I went there at a party in

148
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: college and there was a basement fire right by one

149
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: of the light fixtures. I don't know if I told

150
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: you this.

151
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 2: You did tell me, Yeah, and you rubbed that in

152
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 2: once before. Okay, And you know, electricity pretty simple. It's

153
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 2: wires and romex and you I'm not I'm not disputing

154
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 2: the fact that a fixture I put up may have

155
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 2: gone so.

156
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 1: It burst into flames. Oh you think it was the fixture.

157
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, in a pair of wires, I don't know

177
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: there are challenges. You get to a place there you

178
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: open another envelope. It gives you a clue as to

179
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: the next place. But they did I think at one

180
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: point they've had Yeah, they've had they. I bet they've

Speaker 1: should stay married. That's kind of what the show is about.

188
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: And some people get together and it's usually it's usually

189
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,280

Speaker 1: World's Fair nineteen sixty something seventies.

195
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 2: I think I was confused about that as well. Yeah,

196
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 2: I have to interrupt you to tell you that many

197
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 2: of these roads here have significance in that they're named

198
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 2: after founding people. Oh really, And the one we just

199
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 2: passed Dayshaw Lane des Champs French, Okay, sure, Deyshaw and

200
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 2: build and you'll see a couple others and I'm building

00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 2: to a climactic cavern.

202
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: Who's who's this cavern? Person?

203
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 2: I'm not sure about that that's the first person to

204
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 2: discover a deep crevasse in a cave that could be

205
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 2: They later named that cavern, and Johnny Stalagtite actually named

206
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 2: this next road. Oh yeah, this place us as an

207
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 2: old hotel omber. This is spooky as is that. I

208
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 2: mean this is a waystation or something, okay, and then

209
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: outswhere and then a left turn.

210
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: There is where I shot the first version of Prime Allerges.

211
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, the extension cord was submerged in the river.

212
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 1: I scared the whole time, and it was all for

213
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: nothing because he opened the film exposed it to light,

214
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: and months of my life were for nothing.

215
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 2: I recall. Yeah, well, on that one, I had to

216
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 2: paint four paintings of yours.

217
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I lied. You helped me lie you. You

218
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: had my back, even though you're an honest person. I

219
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: repurposed some of my dad's paintings. I believe I painted

220
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: over your signature on one of them, turned it in and.

221
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 2: Oh, I painted four paintings. Did your feet by four feet?

222
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 2: Because they had to be that size. I remember that

223
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 2: was your that was your end. Grade rested on having

224
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 2: four paintings, and because they were so specifically large and

225
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 2: odd shaped four by four.

226
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: What is this guy doing? There's a guy in the road. Oh,

227
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: just carrying produce. Yes, the lead singer of Midnight Oil.

228
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 2: You won't know that reference.

229
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: I didn't get a good grade in that class, and

230
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: I wanted to argue for a better grade, but I

231
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: knew that it was because I was busy shooting a film.

232
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: Well you know anyway, that's where I shot it.

233
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 2: I had nothing to do with those four marvelous paintings

234
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 2: I kicked out for you.

235
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: I remember liking them. I don't where are they now?

236
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 2: Uh firewood, I don't know.

237
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: Oh well, during wintertime, you gotta keep war.

238
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 2: So we.

239
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: One of the events for my sister's friend's birthday was

240
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: to go on this We had to We ran around.

241
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: It was kind It was really fun. Went on a gondola, except.

242
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 2: Well every yeah. One of the things was the last

243
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 2: thing was on the gondola. You look high, look low,

244
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 2: and that's where you will see. And I saw the

245
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 2: final destination.

246
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: And once I was off that gondola, I was going

247
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: to run down there and I think we could have won.

248
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: But then you because.

249
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:36,720

00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: Had to arrive in a group, and my entire family

Speaker 1: got on on a car, ten cars and not not

252
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,200

Speaker 2: People are last? You're dead last? What's wrong with you?

256
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: How do you even know the phrase dead last? I'm

257
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: about to make fun of how thick your glasses are?

258
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: I almost did. It's easy to hurt a little girl's feelings.

259
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 2: Okay, wow, I'm interrupt you one more time. And what

262
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 2: because they changed their name when they came out here too.

263
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: They all made the same decision on the drive going west.

264
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 2: We need an extra ass.

265
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: Everyone had the same conversations, right. Sometimes I find holes

266
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: in your stories. I believe most of them, But the

267
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:42,240

00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: Albert Brockli his family invented broccoli, but they spelled it different.

271
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: They did spell it different, which is.

272
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,280

00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 2: But he took credit for studding broccoli. He did, he wrote, well,

275
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 2: he produced all the Broccoli family owns the Bond franchise.

276
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, okay, somehow written by Ian Fleming.

277
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 2: But books, yeah okay, but his kids still produce the movies. Though.

278
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: You were right in that broccoli is only as old

279
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: as the early fifties or something.

280
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 2: I don't know, something like that. It's cauliflower crust, crazy hybrid.

00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 2: It's a hybridy vegetable. It's new.

282
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: And if you have a palaeo diet, get off that

283
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: broccoli because it is made in elaboratory. But yeah, I

284
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: mean I found something on Wikipedia that said it was

285
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: manufactured by farmers, but it didn't make it. But I

286
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: could have done more research. I'm sorry. I don't mean to.

287
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 2: I heard that he wow, wow, well, I.

00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: on stone container.

290
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 2: Is that yeah? This former industrial site that made liner board,

291
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 2: which put together We're losing people now, I can tell

292
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 2: you that. No, No, it's interesting. Liner Board is the

293
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 2: outside paper on a cardboard box, like corrugated. The corrugated

294
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 2: stuff comes from Louisiana. Yeah right, but they look at

295
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 2: look at all these buildings. Look at all these buildings

296
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 2: are gone. These were immense buildings and they had huge

297
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 2: recovery boilers or boilers and recovery boilers.

298
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 1: And this is all empty. These are giant buildings.

299
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 2: Corn down industrial buildings.

300
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: Was that a stop sign?

301
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 2: Okay? Good?

302
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: You made that noise? And then I got nervous. And

303
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: one time we were on a road trip going through

304
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: the desert. We were hauling a boat. Grandma was in

305
00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: the front seat, not having fun, I think, maybe drifting off,

306
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: and then she inadvertently put her elbow on the on

307
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: the window, the electronic window button, and it started to

308
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: roll down wind, this hot desert wind blew into the car. Startled,

309
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 1: startled her. She screamed, you reacted at a little.

310
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can throw the boat off the trailer. I did.

311
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 2: He jerked the wheel, the boat flew off, the trailer,

319
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 2: but that would explain. That's where it happened. And the

Speaker 1: going to have yourself a terrific dinner.

367
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 2: I love horses. If you're ever around a horse, you

368
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 2: don't want to appreciate that. Yeah, they're the best. They

369
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 2: are like big puppy.

370
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: It's funny, though, because have you how many times have

371
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: you ridden a horse? Being a Montana person, I've I've.

372
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 2: Had some experience, but not a lot enough to make

373
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 2: me incredibly sore for several days. Yeah right, oh yeah,

374
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 2: doing some you know, cattle driving right right right? That?

375
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, But prior to that, like as a kid,

376
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: I didn't. There's horses everywhere. People think it only makes

377
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: sense that I would have grown up in western Montana

378
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 1: riding on horses.

379
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,719
Speaker 2: Well, what is kind of expensive? They eat a lot.

380
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 2: And I don't think I'm telling any tales out of

381
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 2: school when I say we weren't rich growing up? Were

382
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 2: we were? We rich? We were rich? I think we were.

383
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: We were standards with middle class. Middle class people don't

384
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 1: have horses.

385
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 2: I'm starting to feel bad.

386
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm here to push buttons. I'm here to push

387
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,000

388
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,399

Speaker 1: wiring basement like fixtures. And you never gave me a pony, a.

390
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 2: Nice little no.

391
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: I don't.

392
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 2: I didn't want to pull horses. People. You've got to

393
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 2: have twenty acres to feed a horse. Yeah, seal is

394
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 2: grass you eat that day and a half. Yeah, so

395
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 2: so you have supplemental feeding. If you're on two or

396
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 2: three or five acres, you've got supplemental feeding going on.

397
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: And what's that mean?

398
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 2: That means you're buying hay? Oh okay, and your pants

Speaker 2: say that hay for sale? Oh yeah? Eight? If you

400
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,160

408
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: hobby horse. A hobby horse is a real horse. It's

409
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: not just because of the toy horse that is on

410
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: a frame and with springs.

411
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 2: I think, generally speaking, the activity of that's easy, and

412
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 2: maintaining a horse that you don't need.

413
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: We're racing to be a hobby. I'm going to turn

414
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: up the sound here. That's a Burlington Northern train, just

415
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: so people listen to that. I'll get him. My grandpa

416
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: drove one of those.

417
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 2: Right, Oh no, no way, no way. They wouldn't let.

418
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 1: Him, he'd be too nervous. Yeah, well, maybe he shoveled

419
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 1: coal into it. He used to polish them, Maybe.

420
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 2: He washed them. They shovel diesel on those.

421
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well maybe yeah. He my agreement, used to

422
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: run with handfuls of diesel fuel and pour it into

423
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: a funnel. That was his job. Here's these skows again.

424
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: Well I didn't know that about hobby horses. I just

425
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: kind of now I'm attract It's everything that I took

426
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: for granted growing up in my Montana. You know, I

427
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: just wished we would move back to California and I

428
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: could have long, blonde, straight hair and become a surfer.

429
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 2: That's my whole life, I understand.

430
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: And man, now that I lived there by the beach, boy,

431
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: I miss it here. The grass is always greener, but

432
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 1: it is much greener in Montana because California has a drought.

433
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 2: And you find people are much the same no matter

434
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 2: where you are.

435
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: People are the same, no matter time nor place. That's

436
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 1: the fresh Prince will Smith.

437
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, five careers ago, I remember being on the

438
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 2: phone with somebody. I worked for the railroad at the time,

439
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 2: and I had with Pampa. Yeah. I had to call

440
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 2: Denver to iron something out, and the railroad had its

441
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 2: own phone line. I thought that was interesting. I don't

442
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 2: know if it ran on rails, but or I think

443
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 2: it ran on satellites or something. Wow, I call them,

444
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 2: and this is something you get all the time. I said,

Speaker 2: to when I lived in San Francisco. I used to

451
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,159

Speaker 1: And what is a super fun site? It's just when

467
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: there's poison in the dirt.

468
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 2: This factory was built initially on about two hundred acres

469
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 2: in nineteen fifty eight, two hundred acres of the former

470
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 2: Fairbanks farm. Okay, there there you have wow. And then

471
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 2: there settling ponds out there that have all the crap

472
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 2: from shirt the cooking, cooking shirt, wood chips and making paper.

473
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: What about the one in Butte that is where mining

474
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: was happening, golden copper mining. Isn't there a pond that's

475
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: slowly raising that is so poisiness that birds birds fly

476
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: above it and just die and rest.

477
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 2: It's horrible. It's called the Berkeley Pit, and it's a

478
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 2: mile across and half a mile it's really deep. And

479
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 2: and you're right, they did went down and down and

480
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 2: down and looking for copper. When digging straight holes in

481
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 2: the ground became past a sure they would take just

482
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 2: out of donkeys down there and feed them down there,

483
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 2: and they never came out.

484
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: Oh no, not awful. And then all these all these

485
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: canaries get credit. Yep, what about the donkey and the

486
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: coal mine precisely sing about that one.

487
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 2: Let's get out of here.

488
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: Oh man, that's awful. And then you have no, it's

489
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: such they could do it.

490
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 2: They could sinking well type mines and started just digging

491
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 2: a big hole and well they kept draining that which

492
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 2: would seep in until they shut it down about twenty

493
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 2: years ago or so. And now it's filling up.

494
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: With and that is the most super super fun Oh nasty.

495
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: Isn't there a golf course that has super fun sight?

496
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: But it's for some reason, the the smelter in Anaconda,

497
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: the sand Jack Nicholas came in and created just a

498
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: neat golf course. Really, it's jet black. The sand is

499
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: jet black.

500
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 2: It's a slag, which was a byproduct of smelting copper.

501
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 2: So when you so the sand is not sand, it's

502
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 2: slag when.

503
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: You hit it with your sand wedge and it becomes

504
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: airborne comes to that flag wedge. You a slag wedge.

505
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 2: People don't it's a special club that you can only

506
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 2: buy in Montana. But isn't that just kicking it up

507
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 2: and then you're breathing it in? You might as well

508
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,239
Speaker 2: have been a minor. You know, it doesn't clump like

509
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 2: sand if it gets rain. If it rains, it's really

510
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 2: pretty good. Oh wow, as I said Nicholas, Jack Nicholas,

511
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 2: there's Fairbanks Lane.

512
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: Oh, there's Fairbanks Lane again.

513
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 2: Jack Nicholas designed that course and it's beauty and there

514
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 2: are just massive chunks of concrete here and there.

515
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: You know, I'm we should golf. You've been golfing lot?

516
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 2: I have not been. That's my main job. Yeah. My

517
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 2: dad makes so so many courses, so many inspections necessary.

518
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: Right, it makes a lucrative retirement living as a golfer.

519
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: Well maybe sometime soon. What about Fairbanks? The vice president

520
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: for Roosevelt? Do you know much about him?

521
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 2: I don't know.

522
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: He remember I showed you that picture of a five

523
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: dollars bill that said Bank of Fairbanks as Fairbanks.

524
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 2: And I do know something about uh Teddy Roosevelt. I

525
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 2: just don't know anything about this Fairbanks guy that was

526
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 2: his vice president and as a present present, a birthday present,

527
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 2: I think Roosevelt gave I don't know if he made it,

528
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 2: but it's a legal tender five dollars bill that says

529
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 2: Bank of Fairbanks and they gave it to him.

530
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: But it's Fairbanks, Alaska. So are we somehow related to Fairbanks, Alaska?

531
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: Can I go there and say, hey, I'm here.

532
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 2: All you hav any street cred there's a consequence of

533
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 2: your name? Yeah, I think you will.

534
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: Well, let's go there. Who cares? If it's famously the

535
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: most depressing part of our union?

536
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 2: Why I wouldn't mind going to Alaska? But certain mountains

537
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 2: around here, I'm sure they're fancier. Yeah, but I mean

538
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 2: we can go to Glacier and you.

539
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: Have nighttime here, which allows you to sleep. Isn't Alaska

540
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: just daytime all day.

541
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 2: Once you get up there? Yep? Especially around Fairbanks?

542
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: Wow, I don't, I don't. I don't want to visit Fairbanks.

543
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 2: Talk to a guy that was a teacher up there.

544
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 2: I played golf with him once and he was talking

545
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 2: about a party. They were having a New Year's Eve

546
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 2: party years ago. And he left the New Year's Eve

547
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 2: party and was going home and he forget he'd forgotten.

548
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 2: He was going a little bit too fast over the

549
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 2: railroad track okay, which is elevated and then comes back down.

550
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 2: And he went up ben came back down and it

551
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 2: was thirty blows zero. I think all four tires exploded.

552
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 2: Oh wow, that's the kind of thing that won't happen

553
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 2: in Miami Beach. Oh wow, frozen rubber. Yeah, yikes. And

554
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 2: it was boom right on the ground. Well, okay, that

555
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 2: sounds us.

556
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I sit here and wait for help from nobody.

557
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 2: I don't know.

558
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it would be ba.

559
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 2: Hey, we did get a funeral too this weekend.

560
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, we did go to a funeral. I I don't.

561
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: I'm confronted by the fact that because this sweet girl

562
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: that passed, very sweet girl, and she's kind of my age,

563
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: and so I selfishly start thinking about my own mortality. Uh,

564
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 1: because she it was a cancer. She she had leg pain,

565
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: she was tired, leg in back pain, and she is

566
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: tired I have that. I'm tired. I have leg and

567
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 1: back pain. And maybe I'm being ridiculous, but I start,

568
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to a doctor. When I go home, I

569
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: am my leg hurts and I'm tired all the time.

570
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: If you look up any disease, any ailment, I got

571
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:36,919
Speaker 1: it tired all the time.

572
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:37,760
Speaker 2: Right there.

573
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: That's that's me. I have vaginal cancer.

574
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 2: Sub e, that's mine. I have that. But if I

575
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 2: met that girl, I haven't seen that girl in fifteen years.

576
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 2: She was a child. I didn't know that you have

577
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 2: a friend of your sisters. And she was a sweet girl, tall, athletic,

578
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 2: played basketball, and yeah, they had picked is just a

579
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 2: sweet girl. And I'd seen her in a while.

580
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: Well, like a lot of And this wasn't a funeral,

581
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: it was a memorial.

582
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 2: I don't know the difference. But she wasn't there.

583
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: It was just a celebration of her, which a lot

584
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: of people trying to do.

585
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 2: Why they packed the Eagles Hall. The Eagles Hall was

586
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 2: classically in an Eagles hall. And I appreciated the open bar.

587
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 2: You don't often find that. Am I'm afraid that I

588
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 2: paid for four bucks a drink.

589
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: There was a bar there, but it was not open.

590
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: I do think I sort of closed it down. I

591
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: had some drinks. I'm not comfortable with death. Neither of

592
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 1: us are. You and I both aren't religious. I feel

593
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: confronted by dying, and you know, that's definitely what this

594
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:47,720
Speaker 1: event was all about.

595
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 2: But they tried, I thought, and.

596
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,520

00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: raise their hands. Say, oh god, these kids are just

622
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 1: too close to the room running and I'm gonna pull

623
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: over and yell at them. Yeah, just it. There's nothing

624
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:34,399
Speaker 1: more sad than if you have a memorial. Of course

625
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: you'd never know. But if no one showed up, just

626
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: a lawyer and some guy that hands you have the

627
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: rose bushes, that means you're old. Yeah, I guess that's the.

628
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 2: Way it should be. There were two hundred people at

629
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 2: this sweet girl funeral because she shouldn't be dead.

630
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 1: She shouldn't be Yeah, it's just cancer is the worst man.

631
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:04,399
Speaker 1: I think I'm not getting that. Nope, there's a lot

632
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: of people just wandering around in fields.

633
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 2: Here. What the guy doing.

634
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: It's just by himself.

635
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,760
Speaker 2: You know what he is. He's outstanding in his field.

636
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 2: He's one of the best we know of he's a scarecrow.

637
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 2: It's one of the best human scarecrows in town. And

638
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 2: I don't think anyone's working that joke into conversation. No,

639
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 2: good job. I've been holding on to it since the

640
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 2: late sixties. I can use that again. Yeah, I insist

641
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 2: that you do that, and I can. I remember coming

642
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 2: up with this is what is weird about radio. You

643
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 2: have to use the material. You know that you're try

644
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 2: not you try to be new. I'm sure when you're

645
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 2: doing your standup. Yeah. I can't be all the time

646
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 2: to use stuff that works. I use my jokes sometimes,

647
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,720
Speaker 2: sometimes I use other people because it's just a podcast radio.

648
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 2: But of course you didn't have to have as much

649
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 2: material when I did radio. But so i'd come up

650
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 2: with something that was maybe pretty good.

651
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: I might.

652
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 2: I might wait six months or a year and throw

653
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 2: it out there again. Do you know what I'm saying? Sure?

654
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 2: I got a call one day, guy said, hey, you

655
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:27,399
Speaker 2: told that story last year. Okay, Okay, I'm sorry, thank

656
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 2: you for being a fan. Why are you yelling at me? Exactly?

657
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: Yeah?

658
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:34,959
Speaker 2: Sometimes, fuck you very much.

659
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 1: People people call me out, but I for things I

660
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: say on this podcast. But I appreciate it because it

661
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: just proves that they're listening.

662
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 2: They do. Yeah sometimes, Oh okay, every once in a.

663
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 1: While I let an idea, I stand by it as

664
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: if it's fact, and maybe I'm wrong.

665
00:39:55,840 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 2: Oh, because somebody's got a in their populter.

666
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, everyone can. No matter what you say, someone can,

667
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: even just the details of whatever you say, they can

668
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: say map that's not true. So I'm just going to

669
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: pretend out now anything from now on, and it won't

670
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: be hard for me because I I know a little bit,

671
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: a tiny little bit about a lot of things, and

672
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: I know more than anyone about skateboarding, but no one

673
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: wants to.

674
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 2: Hear about it. Did you watch the Republican debate the

675
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 2: other night. I didn't. I didn't.

676
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: I wanted to. I knew that it would be focused

677
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: on Trump, who I wish ill upon, and so.

678
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's getting all the attention. They got to

679
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 2: have him in there. People like him because always nobody's

680
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 2: gonna watch. Isn't that crazy? They all hate it the

681
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,800
Speaker 2: other sixteen candidates. There are seventeen candidates as we speak.

682
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 2: Sixteen of them hate the fact the guy's there. But

683
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 2: he's got to be there otherwise nobody's doing it.

684
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: He's kind of good for business.

685
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, damn rights. Yeah, he's just a mascot. But what

686
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 2: if he accidentally wins?

687
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: What do you think?

688
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 2: What if he accidentally says something factual?

689
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:20,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's just I can't believe the stuff he's said

690
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: and he's gotten away with and no one's if.

691
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,760
Speaker 2: I think, if you are rich and have minions, wouldn't

692
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 2: you like to have minions?

693
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: I mean just for work around the house and stuff.

694
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 2: Exactly. Well, minions are going to cover for you and

695
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 2: nod their head whether you're right or not. He's used

696
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 2: to that. He said that Mexican people are rapists. Oh yeah,

697
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 2: well he's also sensitive, of course. But I'm turning. I

698
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 2: have to I have to pause.

699
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: Sure, Sure, of course, you're doing a good Karen Aois drives.

700
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: I can't do the multitask of operating a vehicle and

701
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: throwing together sentences. I've just one thing at a time

702
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: for me. You're doing great.

703
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess I'm frustrated by I've always been interested

704
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 2: in politics, and I'm frustrated by what I consider to

705
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 2: be the millionaires club people in Congress. And I don't

706
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 2: know that I like anybody, And that's what they are.

707
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 2: They're all millionaires. Nobody's going to make the right decisions

708
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 2: that we need to have made to be made about

709
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 2: social security, about climate change, about infrastructure support, you know,

710
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 2: fixing bridges and stuff. Nobody wants to do these things

711
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 2: because there's no not get this job back, there's no

712
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 2: money in it. Yeah, that's right, that's right. So it's

713
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 2: kind of frustrating. And it occurs to me that we

714
00:42:55,440 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 2: used to have really impressive people be president and be

715
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,439
Speaker 2: in Congress, and I don't know that I can say

716
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 2: that anymore. Yeah, but maybe maybe I'm wrong, Maybe this

717
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 2: is just an old part or music.

718
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,959
Speaker 1: Do you not think that so much is revealed now

719
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 1: about everyone that even back in the day, had we

720
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 1: known everything there is to know about even Kennedy, who

721
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: no one has anything.

722
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 2: But I don't care who the guy with no that sure.

723
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,959
Speaker 1: We all know he was banging Marilyn Monroe and that's

724
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: not even what.

725
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 2: Wow, I never heard that.

726
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there's I have pictures in my wallet.

727
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 2: What if I had pictures next pictures?

728
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't. It's but yeah.

729
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 2: I think angel it was a motorcycle.

730
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: Can hopefully not during my life. I hope you would

731
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 1: not have the infant.

732
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 2: But he was a funny guy. And one day we

733
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 2: were he was working on a motorcycle and I came

734
00:43:56,360 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 2: over with that really old vaudeville joke, M, hey, you

735
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 2: got any naked pictures of your wife? And the well,

736
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,760
Speaker 2: of course not want to buy some, and then everybody

737
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:09,359
Speaker 2: laughs a lot.

738
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: Yeah they used to.

739
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 2: So I said to this, hey you got any naked pictures?

740
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 2: He said, sure, one from the rear.

741
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: She's sitting on the front of a camaro. That's in

742
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: the garden. Now we plant flowers in the hood. That's great,

743
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 1: That's that's great.

744
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 2: So as I say, I think we used to have

745
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 2: remarkable people. But then I'm also reminded of something I

746
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 2: heard years ago that I like, and that was, uh,

747
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 2: they don't make them like they used to, and they

748
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 2: never did, right, so something hindsight twenty twenty, that kind

749
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 2: of stuff. Sure, it's just frustrating that you talk about

750
00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 2: Roosevelt people, you know, people like him, extraordinary men like

751
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 2: Teddy Roosevelt. And there was no money in politics then.

752
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 2: Most people had to be rich or they were like Lincoln,

753
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 2: and they weren't used to ever having anything. And so

754
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 2: week or a month was okay, and most were subsidized

755
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 2: by family, and there was family money with Roosevelt, and

756
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 2: if it weren't for that, he couldn't have been It

757
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 2: couldn't have had that lovely place in Oyster Bay to

758
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 2: go to it, you know, And the same with Taft

759
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 2: after him, and then Wilson after him. His friends had

760
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,760
Speaker 2: to get together and give him money to buy his house.

761
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:49,919
Speaker 2: Really that is now a historic site in Washington, d C. Yeah,

762
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 2: ten people gave him fifteen grand. Well, then that must

763
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 2: have been a nice house. It's inevitable.

764
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: It's inevitable then that at some point there'd have to

765
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 1: be money in politics because it's hard. Being the president

766
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: would be you could not pay me enough to try

767
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 1: and do that job. No, no one is going.

768
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 2: To be happy with you unanimously.

769
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 1: I think comedy is hard, or I don't actually, but

770
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 1: it's hard to like appeal to a whole audience. Being

771
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 1: president would be the hardest stand up gig.

772
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 2: I heard a comic say once, I don't want to

773
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:30,399
Speaker 2: be too famous because then people then if you get

774
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 2: too famous, then there are a lot of people that

775
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 2: hate you.

776
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,359
Speaker 1: I want to be someone like Mike Judge, who just

777
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 1: has made things, and no one knows what he looks like.

778
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:45,160

Speaker 2: Has the lifestyle in the creative spiritual fulfillment.

780
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,759

00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 1: the best. I only bring up his name because he's a.

Speaker 1: People are demanding it.

791
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,439
Speaker 2: It's just there's so many shows. I know, I can't

792
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 2: you know, there's so much television. Most of the shows

793
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 2: you've talked about, I haven't seen. There's not enough time.

794
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 2: I've just started watching The Wire. Yea, I got one

795
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 2: for you? Yeah? Ready, Yeah. I love Lucy. I haven't

796
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 2: watched any I love Lucy. It's a killer.

797
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 1: So is that on Netflix or how to just order?

798
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 2: I'll bet you can find it someplace DVDs.

799
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 1: Maybe it's here at Walmart, passing the Walmart, or here

800
00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: we are on Mullen Road again. We're crossing Mullen Road.

801
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 1: Just now correct me if I'm wrong. But as a kid,

802
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 1: right there, there'd be piles of horse parts.

803
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, because that was a.

804
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,320
Speaker 1: For soap like in Fight Club.

805
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 2: Uh, I'm not so sure what they used. They used

806
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 2: to call them blue factories years ago. You know.

807
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 1: To the right, here's where Doug's canoe place was. We

808
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,240
Speaker 1: went out on a canoe. I almost drowned and died.

809
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 1: That's a story, right, because that was horrifying, horrifying. We

810
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,760
Speaker 1: we went all day in a canoe. Everything was fine.

811
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 1: At the end of the day. Well, let's get out.

812
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:40,400
Speaker 1: Might as well preemptively take off our life vests.

813
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 2: Because we're only going over there, yes.

814
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,360
Speaker 1: Like ten feet to the edge of the river. And

815
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:49,439
Speaker 1: then we start floating sideways towards filled water.

816
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 2: Well, we all.

817
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:54,359
Speaker 1: Pushed against it with our oars and tipped ourselves over

818
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:57,319
Speaker 1: like something a mouse.

819
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 2: You disappeared. You were six years old, five years old.

820
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 2: I don't remember. Disappeared underneath the boat down the river.

821
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: Because I was I was holding onto the boat, but

822
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:09,920
Speaker 1: you did not know I was sold underneath.

823
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:13,399
Speaker 2: I said, right then, Oh my god, I guess I'll

824
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:17,319
Speaker 2: have to have another kid. Yeah, it was underwater, but

825
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:20,439
Speaker 2: I do it was I heard you say that caught

826
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:23,439
Speaker 2: up with your cut, your little face, and I'm We're

827
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:29,720
Speaker 2: going down the river and I'm thinking, damn, this is it. Yeah,

828
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:33,720
Speaker 2: me and this little boy, this is how I go. Yeah,

829
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 2: looking at your little face, and all of a sudden,

830
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:41,439
Speaker 2: my little toes start touching sand. I submit that I

831
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 2: drank a great deal of that.

832
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: Well it was that was loaded some right. Oh yes,

833
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: well I swallowed a lot of water too. Did someone

834
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 1: push on me and make me spit up water? I

835
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 1: remember laying there, but I did anyone know? I just

836
00:49:58,440 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 1: just cos I guess.

837
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 2: I think. I think what you said to me was

838
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 2: don't touch me, leave me alone. After you got.

839
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 1: Maybe when you're a kid, you blame people for maybe

840
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: I was blaming you.

841
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 2: And you.

842
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 1: Can head back to the house if you want.

843
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 2: Sure. So, like two months later, we'ren't going to Victoria, BC,

844
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 2: and we go to Port Angelus in Washington and to

845
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 2: catch a boat over to this island, Vancouver Island, not

846
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 2: what it is, and and uh, we're on the boat.

847
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 2: So you just had this horrible experience. Yeah, it's still

848
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,360
Speaker 2: resting your mind, and we're at the edge of the

849
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:47,800
Speaker 2: boat looking out of the water. I remember that and everything.

850
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 2: And you said, what if the boat sinks?

851
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:55,840
Speaker 1: It was a big boat, yeah, the ferry.

852
00:50:55,960 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, well then then I guess we'll have to keep

853
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 2: on top of the water, keep treading water. And uh no,

854
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:11,879
Speaker 2: I think what I said was you ask, what will

855
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:15,680
Speaker 2: you do? What will happen if you if we go

856
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:18,759
Speaker 2: into the water. I'm screwing this up. Now, that's okay. No,

857
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,239
Speaker 2: I don't happen if we go into the water, And

858
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:24,439
Speaker 2: I'll stay with you to the end. And then he said,

859
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 2: and then you said, and then you'll leave.

860
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 1: Really okay, I'll remember that kind of worried.

861
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 2: I don't know that I knew I was telling a

862
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,279
Speaker 2: joke right there. Yeah, I was scared of what I

863
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 2: still I still am not the most comfortable waterman.

864
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:47,840
Speaker 1: I'm not the best swimmer. But I'll get in a

865
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:49,240
Speaker 1: canoe right now. I'm not scared.

866
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:52,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, bring it, bring it here.

867
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:54,720
Speaker 1: Bring it here. I'll jump out of it on purpose.

868
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 1: I've never been over here. Look at that farmhouse.

869
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:02,799
Speaker 2: This is great. Well. These were all five to ten

870
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 2: to twenty acre pieces cut up back in the twenties,

871
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 2: and they diverted the Clarkfork Weaver into into ditches so

872
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 2: that there would be little farms out here. Oh well,

873
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 2: these are all these all used to be little farms.

874
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 2: That's why they call it Orchard Homes District.

875
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 1: What's Spurgeon Road? Who's this spurgeon?

876
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 2: Guy? Used to be a really large fish right on

877
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 2: this road. Isn't that a sturgeon? Okay, okay, we see

878
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:39,760
Speaker 2: it's the These tales are good blown out of proportion,

879
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 2: and then people for years think there's a monster in

880
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 2: Flathead Lake when really it was just a spurgeon and

881
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 2: sturgeon or spurgeon. But people used to see it arching

882
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 2: it's serventine body. Well I was twenty feet long the folklore. Yeah, well,

883
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 2: but why do people tell those stories? Because I would

884
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 2: have been a better water skier if I wasn't scared

885
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 2: every time I was behind a boat that I'm dragon's

886
