66
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 3: and when they came over from Austria, they had to

67
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 3: change their names to the Traps because of in the war,

68
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 3: you know, drop the Von and.

69
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:49,040

70
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: off the set, but that we're looking for the Traps.

71

72
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: Let's go back to Nana's story. So they drop me

73
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: Von rebranded not the Bureau from bomb Von to the

74
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: traps and and then so they lived here. Yep, yep,

Speaker 1: his movies. What do you mean, I bet the man.

111
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: When I was a teenager and I was doing karate

112
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: my Karate magazine, there were these geens that were called

113
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: Chuck Norris action jeans, don't laugh right, And these were

114
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: jeans you could wear out in the street that it

115
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: suddenly you were attacked. You could kick someone in the

116
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: head wearing che action jeans. And I'm saved up. Set

117
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: my postal order off because it was America and they'd

118
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: sold out. They wrote back to me returning it, and

119
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: I was heartbroken. I never got to have those Chuck

120
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: Norris action jeans. All those farts you got in all

121

126
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,279

00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,039
