Speaker 1 (00:00):
Right, Scotty, Oh, Curdie b I I got up early,
I walked the dog and went and got iced coffee,
a cold brew in fact, and I was back here
and writing by eight thirty.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Oh nice, I'm ready. I'm grabbing this day right on
the shoulder like a proud stepfather.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Well here's here's something that'll that'll make your day. I'll
wake you right up.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
All right. Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
There's a museum in Japan where you can sniff different animals.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Butts would love to do it, just joking, would hate
to do it. It smells like a great episode of
Bananas Sad.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
World.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Would you believe.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Your mindzillion pieces? Would you? Jancy, guys, girls, non binary pals,
welcome to yet again another solo episode of Banana's Just
(01:14):
Me and Scottie Landis.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Mm mmmm that's right. This is Banana Boy number two.
Thank you for listening to the silliest little podcast there
ever was. And you know, shout out, It's Asian American
Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Kurt, It's May in America. Shout
out to our many many many AA PI bananimals. We
(01:39):
just love you, big love, big love. And what a month.
And they gave you a great month or you took
a great month. However it went down because May is
usually the most beautiful month in North America. September a
close second.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I am so I, as everyone knows, the saga of
my moving continues. I am. You know, people told me,
people said, you gotta get a pod man, you gotta
use pods because pods are more affordable than using a
moving company. H And it's just the The goddamn issues
(02:15):
with the pod have been NonStop, and the latest one
is there is no place to put the pod where
I'm moving into in New Jersey because it's two like
kind of busy streets. Oh and the a building doesn't
have like a loading dock or I guess. But anyway,
the way I find all of this out is that
(02:37):
so I have to submit a permit for a permit
to like put it on the street. Submit the permit.
I submit it at I don't know, nine to thirty am.
At ten fifteen, I get a phone call from the
police station. Because the police are the ones who like,
like say it's a thumbs up or thumbs down, okay,
And it's just the super super Jersey dude who's very
(03:01):
nice uh, and he's just and literally I just hear
him and like somebody else like walking through trying to
figure out how we could possibly put a pod. And
he's like, I'm not a no guy. I'm an I'm
a yes man. All right, I'm a yes man. I
want to say yes to this, but you cannot put
a pod here. You can't put a pod here. And
then like I was on the phone with him for
like fifteen twenty minutes and then finally he just goes, uh, so,
(03:24):
why are you moving from California to New Jersey?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Good leading question?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
And I was like, I'm from New Jersey and he's like, ah, well,
welcome home.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
So do you think there's a solution. Also, I thought
POD's whole thing is they had like pod storage areas
or something.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Sure, but then you have to get a truck to
unload the pod at the pod storage area, then drive
the truck and it's just and then at that point,
why am I not just having a truck Because also
the problem with the pod is that like for a
truck for a moving company, they have the blankets, they
have the boxes they come in. They're like here, put
your stuff in the boxes. Then you take it out
(04:03):
because then we take our boxes back, then we take
our blankets back, then we take our ties back, you know.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
For the pod.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
It's like they don't have any of that stuff you
have to buy moving blankets Like its cuckoo balls. I'm
like looking at spending like a thousand dollars in just
like supplies, supply, like additional supplies in addition to the
thousands of dollars that I'm already spending. So I think
I'm very close to just for just trying to get
(04:30):
a regular moving company to move it.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, I understand. I used to when I moved from
Brooklyn to Los Angeles and I had a globe, a
freestanding globe that I got from a guy in my building.
His mother lived there from when the building was built
to when she passed away, so like eighty years or something,
and he moved all his personal belongings out and then
he just put up signs in our building that was like,
(04:52):
come take whatever you want. It's a help to me.
I love it. And yeah, it was cool. And i'd
never seen this guy before. I never met his you know,
eighty something, your old mom. We weren't hanging out as
much as you would have thought. No matter how many
beer funnels I took over to her front.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Door, I always said no.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Yeah, Dolores always said no, get away, I'm calling the
police department. And so there was a standing globe that
had old like Rhodesia, USSR, Burma all that stuff on it.
So I was like, this is cool. And I just
thought when I had the little moving pod, I hired
(05:32):
movers and they packed it all in and they drove
it across the country that they would just put the
free standing globe in there, and staid they put it
in a box. And the man clearly didn't know the
word for globe, so he just wrote round map on
all four sides of the box. And I couldn't agree
with that description more. It is a round map, it is.
(05:52):
That's all the globe will ever be. So maps are
the originals. Globes can kiss my dairy air, I love.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Man. Do you still have that free standing globe?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I do. It's in It's in my freestanding garage right
now because I'm not sure where I'm gonna put it.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I also, it's like a stand up It's like, you know,
it's like up to your waist or something. Those are
so beautiful. I would love one of those. I definitely
think that that is something I'm gonna look for when
I have, like, you know, a house in New Jersey
that I have to like fill with things again, I'm
gonna so in.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
My round map, get a round map in your off.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Right to just gather dust. I wanted to get dusty
and have an additional thing to clean. But honestly, I
think they would be really nice. You know what would
be even better, though, is the ones that open up
and it's a bar inside.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
That's a class that is It's like a Winston Churchill
classic day drunk maneuver. Yeah, I'm all in. I I
we used to always put this, so I wrote like,
I don't know, I would guess. I wrote eleven full
feature length screenplays before I sold. Yes, the first one.
(07:05):
The first one's very bad.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
I remember looking at them all. They were just like
all in a row on your bookshelf.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Yeah, and some were scary and some were comedy, and
then some were dramas.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
And what was one drum line?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
One was drum line? Yeah, great movie. Also, I will
watch drum Line right now, that movie, love it. And
I don't like Nick Cannon at all.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Was there another one called jim Spastics or something.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Oh, nastics Ynastics. Yeah, that was about identical twins who
could like read each other's minds and competed. Moved to
Texas too. I think they were Albanian, and they moved
to Texas to compete for Team USA Gymnastics. But they
both suffered catastrophic injuries and the other ones felt the
pain of the other one at unfortunate times. One was
having sex and the other one broke his hip doing
(07:52):
something like riding in the back of a pickup truck,
and so you get it. That one was pretty good, though.
But I had this thing, you know, when you were
a kid, you'd spin a map and drag your finger
on it and be like, I'm going to live in
and you spin it, yeah, go my YORCA wherever it
would land on. So, for some reason, in like five
(08:13):
of those scripts, I had a character that would like
be the badass but loser, like Deadpole is probably the
best modern equivalent, where it's like total badass but then
way over confident, kind of an idiot underneath it all. Yeah,
And every time I would introduce that character in like
three or four scripts, they would spin the globe and
(08:34):
then somebody would come in to meet them and they'd
be dragging their finger and they'd look down and it
would be in the middle of an ocean, and it
would they would just say, I better learn how to swim.
And nobody. Nobody liked it. Nobody got it, nobody commented
on it. It was just a joke for me after
all these years. So if I ever get some real
umph in this town, I'm going to have somebody spin
(08:55):
a globe, drag their finger. It's seventy percent water.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
You're going to end up in the ocean most of
the time.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Just say, better learn how to swim. No wonder it
took so long for me.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I know, I really that is one thing that I've
yet to do. I would love to. I just I
just realized something that I want to do in my life, Scottie.
I want to be in I want to be in
the middle of the ocean. I want to like, I
want to sail somewhere. I want to take a boat somewhere.
I want to not you know, I want to go
(09:27):
in the very middle. So like maybe take a boat
to Europe or something.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah, there's a guy doing it right now. Are you
following Sailing with Phoenix?
Speaker 3 (09:37):
I I followed a few different ones. I don't know
if Sailing with Phoenix has my current follow.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
He's we're following him on the Banana's account. But he's
the dude that left Oregon. He's sailing for Hawaii with
his cat named Phoenix.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Nice. Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I saw like a year ago he bought a boat,
learned how to sail, and he's like, I think today's
like day nineteen, and it is captivating because yeah, yeah,
a lot can go wrong. It seems like a lot's
going right.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I watched this woman Cole who became the I think
one like a world record with the fastest circumnavigation of
the globe by herself damn at age. I don't know.
She's twenty one, I think, damn. But she literally uploaded
every single day of what was going on. It was crazy.
(10:25):
And also the amount of stuff that breaks down, It's
just constant breaking down stuff. She had every single thing
on board she would have a secondary of so like
if her electric motor died, she would have a secondary
electric motor in case the wind died. It was really crazy.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Damn, Well, we should have her on the pod. I
want to have somebody that's sailed by themselves down the world. Okay,
great US or road I think that I have so
many dumb questions. Oh, you're an idiot.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
She seems great. I think she's currently sailing around the
world again. But we'll get her on the pod.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
You know, that's one of the questions I'll ask because
I have a sense and I think I mentioned this
while ago on the pod. It's a very privileged feeling
to feel. But a lot of times when I've always
say you want to see the Eiffel Tower, and then
you finally see it, you feel like you've checked off
a certain box and you're like, Okay, I can never
see that for the first time again. I can never
have the anticipation see this the Grand Canyon. First time
(11:18):
I did a road trip and saw the Grand Canyon,
it was incredible. It's better than I ever imagined. Actually,
But then I was sort of sad because I can't
ever think about seeing it for the first time again.
Oh and I wonder if you sail around the world. Well,
it's like if you went back to college, you'd almost
want to clean slate and be a freshman again and
not know how anything works, because if you go back now,
it's like the nerves and the confusion and the learning process.
(11:42):
It's stupid now, we know, But yeah, first time you
go through it, it's just like getting hit by a
tidal wave. But I wonder if when you sail around
the world once, if you're like, I've done it. I've
sailed as far on this planet that you can possibly sail.
I've done the whole thing. Yeah, you know, like she's
conquered the whole planet.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Well, one very narrow path around it, like a piece
of string around it.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Still pretty good. But we'll just have to ask her
real depressed early in the podcast.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
I love that question. You want to hear this?
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Uh? Boy? Do I?
Speaker 3 (12:23):
This was sent in by Monica. Thank you, Monica.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
That's a cute name. I always like the name Monica.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
You can send your strange news stories to us at
the Bananas Podcast on Instagram or the Bananas Podcast at
gmail dot com, or go to our website bananas podcast
dot com. This is from Daily, Oh Oh Daily.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
I read that every day.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
It doesn't I mean, it does seem like a daily orgasm,
but here it is. Japan turns sniffing animal butts into
a museum experience. Cheeky art can be appreciated in many forms.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
By yeah, I can do this.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Here we go, I can't get to the rest of
you do it, and then the next paragraphs about what
the fact who wrote this explaining Japan? Oh, thank you, Scotty.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Well, they're because they're already off to a mediumist and
the biz start. I just want to really let them
know I got my eyes on them. I'm coming in.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
I'm very excited about this name, like a Condor Debo
dinner CHACKROBORDI.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Welld damn, I'm glad, I asked.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
God, Davin. That's the best name I've ever heard.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Can I buy a vow.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Debo dinner Chackrobardi? He looks awesome.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
That's going on the names list for sure.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Debo dinner Chack Rebardi. Thank you. Maybe it's Chakra Bardi.
It might be Chakrabordie. Anyway, it's a great name, and
now I'm reading every single word he wrote. Art can
be appreciated in various forms, from observing it for hours
to hang in on your wall. However, Japan has added
a unique twist by considering sniffing animal butts a worthy
(14:07):
addition to.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
The art world. Yeah, I could see it.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
What the Japan is renowned for its diverse cultural offerings.
I'm just reading the words on the page, including anime,
unconventional furniture, technology, cinema, literature, and distinct artistry. If he
had done seven more, it would have been really funny. Recently,
a video surfaced odd Line, causing a significant buzz as
(14:30):
it showcased people sniffing animal butts at an exhibition in Kobe, Japan. Recently,
a fashion model named Gabriella Bernard She's the Best, shared
a video of her experience at the Atoa Aquarium at Kobe, Japan,
in which people could be seen sniffing animal butts through
portraits of animals at an open to all exhibition. The
(14:54):
exhibition garnered attention due to its unconventional concept, aligning with
Japan's pension for embracing unique The video showcased numerous individuals
fearlessly exploring the array of butts on display. Ew tell
me more. The exhibition at Atoa Aquarium showcast captivating glass
frames containing diverse fauna portraits. These frames incorporated small open holes,
(15:24):
inviting visitors to engage their sense of smell by rubbing,
and yes, even sniffing to portrayed animals, butts okay. Each
image was infused with carefully crafted artificial fragrances, successfully replicating
the distinct scent associated with each animal's butt. The video
(15:45):
demonstrated people eagerly sniffing scents ranging from penguins, cats, and
rabbits to even a tiger, although the latter proved overwhelming
for Gabriella's olafactory senses. Hm A toa Aquarium promotes its
quote gallery section on their official website, proclaiming that the
art within each frame will captivate visitors senses. It is
(16:07):
safe to say that this prom they take this promise
quite seriously. And then it says, how are people taking it?
And this is where we just.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Up the butt sounds like.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
This is where we just quote social media, which I
don't think we need.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I know that is why we've fallen so far.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
We've fallen so far. But thank you so much, Debo,
Dinna Chak Robardi.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
You did it, You Todd did it, and it's a
beautiful thing. So first things first, would you do it?
If you were there? Would you go smelling animal's But.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Of course, of course, of course I would and my
kids would lose their fucking mind. They would love it.
They would love it so so, so so much.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Butts are funny and.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
I can imagine everybody's exact uh reaction every butt smelling,
which is the which is a delight. Yeah, oh god, you.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Gotta smelled as this one's gross.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
I remember going to I had never gone to a
Uh what are they? I don't even know. I guess
they're called Haunted House. There these the Haunted House tourists
at Universal. Oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Oh like the the whole night where they just like
block out the month.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that is called yeah you keep
Halloween Horranites. Yeah, Halloween has and it is definitively terrifying.
I don't boy, I am not a I'm not a
person who likes to be scared. I feel like I'm
already stressed out enough. I don't want to be to
relax by getting stressed out correct, and uh it just
(17:57):
like spikes my cortisol in a way that like, ah,
I just leave feeling like gross. But one thing they
started doing, which was so like, It's the thing I
remember the most about all of them that we went
to was that they started incorporating smells into them that
they had that year, so you would.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Walk pump stinks around.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
So there's like one room where you're supposed to be
kind of like underground, and then there's just like a
dirt smell, and then there's another room where it's supposed
to be like a more room, and then there's like
a formalga hide smell, and then another room that's like
an old musty hotel room and it's supposed to be
like a musty smell, and it was so fucking gross,
(18:43):
and so like I hated it so much. But then
on this other one, so that it happened in one
of the ones, and I was like, oh boy, they're
using smells. And then we go to do the other
one and I was just like, this one is so terrible,
and I like complained about it the whole time. And
(19:04):
then we got out and it was right behind a
giant line of port poties and it was just the
porter Potti smell coming in, and I thought it was
this curated, crafted experience that they're paying like millions of
dollars for.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Oh man, that's a that's not a good one, you know,
they do that thing in Preakness. Pickness was last week
in Corse named Journalism one.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Wow, I love that name. Is the name a horse
named germinal Journalism?
Speaker 2 (19:32):
No, sadly it's just journalism.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
But I still I think either one is a good name.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
And they do a thing there where on the infield.
You know, it's like a party. People go wild, get
drunk and it's like people, it's just Maryland really showing
that they are rednecks. Yeah, and they do porta potty
races where it's usually a woman and she gets up
on one end of the roll porta potties and runs
the whole thing and people not supposed to, but everybody
throws their beers and stuff at that person. You see
(19:58):
how many porter potties they can run across before eating
shit so hard?
Speaker 3 (20:03):
God?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
And uh, if you haven't seen it in person, they
didn't do it when I was there. I went to
a few Freaknesses, but I never saw it. But now,
boy YouTube, you could just spend a whole day for
real nose eyeballs port potty races. That was not great.
It's not great, no, is it?
Speaker 3 (20:23):
And then when they fall they fall from the top.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Of Also sometimes people well they're also drunk. So also
people are people are doors are opening. You see, sometimes
the foot will hit the door and go out and
they either fall in front of behind of or it's
usually raining for some reason around busness and so the
mud it's just like would Stock ninety four. Yeah, it's
not great, but you know, those people become fathers and
(20:49):
mothers and educators and politicians, you know, I mean, damn,
but the Halloween Hard Knight's is so scary because you sound.
The thing is they have people with cans that are
just scared and the cans must have like nickels or
oh yeah something yeah yeah yeah, nuts and bolts in them,
and they just run at you shaking them.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
And it really it really works.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yeah, it makes you want to punch them as hard
as possible. And it made me realize that I hate
loud noises rushing towards me. Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
And also another thing that they do is they have
chainsaws that they've taken the chain out of, but it's
like a gas powered chainsaw, and they'll run up to
you and then revit underneath you, and it is so
disturbing and upsetting that it's like it's really intense because
you can smell the gasoline and it's a really loud
(21:39):
noise and it's a chainsaw. In addition, it's cool.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
It's cool that chainsaws were the technology that just have
owned horror movies for so long. And shout out to
chain sauce. Let's get us sauce. Yeah, let's get the
Milwaukee sponsorship.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Milwaukee's my brand. I have decided. I have chosen a brand.
I have chosen a brand for my power tools in
Milwaukee is my brand, quality brand, because you know, once
you those batteries don't die. Baby, I recommend Milwaukee.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
What's your like Milwaukee? I'm going Milwaukee too. Hey, you're
not leaving me in the dust. Also, Milwaukee is just
one of those great cities where they have houses bars
that look like houses and you just go in and
it's a bar and you thought it was a house,
and damn, that's a great idea.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
It is a great idea. In New Orleans also has that,
and it makes me happy every single time.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Every single time, Oh, here's a house one speaking of
what a segue. He's professional po castors. Jess Burke sent
this in thank you. Jess Burke, Boston homeowner thought something
was odd about his house. He discovered it was cut
in half. What Yeah, pretty run and the photos great.
(22:52):
This was on WBZ News, written by the best in
the cutting in the house biz, Chris Tanaka. I'm not
going to guess that he is Asian American, but it
would be a pretty safe bet. But who knows. Maybe
he's of those famous Russian tanakas well. They're Asian too. Damn.
Who knows a house in Boston is on its way
(23:15):
to becoming a historic landmark after the current owner discovered
something unusual about the homes history. It just looked odd,
said Adam Shoots. Shoots is such a good Massachusetts name,
the Shootsbury. I'm sure there's a Schutzburg. That guy is
a New Englander. Shoots felt that way when he first
saw the house three eighteen Metropolitan Boulevard in Roslindale back
(23:36):
in twenty sixteen. He and his wife were home shopping
and noticed some irregularities. Yeah, exciting. We didn't understand when
we bought the house. We didn't understand why this wall
was here. So abruptly, he said, just inside the entry,
the vestibule opens to the middle and left, but is
walled off to the right. So you know, like a
vestibule is sort of like that little foyer before the foyer.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Aim, I'm looking at it. I'm looking at it right now.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Now I see you can tell where that wall is.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Yeah, tell it to a cut of half. But I
don't understand where the half went.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
I I'm not going to tell you, all right, Great,
a scientist by trade and curious by nature, Shoots set
about researching the property and previous owners. When checking some
old permits, he discovered the unimaginable in a world. Then
it sort of clicked because that house just down the
road two houses down looks very similar. So they just
(24:29):
moved half the house two houses down. You can see
it from that house. Turns out the original structure was
literally cut in two back in nineteen forty one, big
year for cutting houses forty one. When looking at it
from the street, one side of the house is an
ornate Victorian with a wrap around porch. The other side
is a flat exterior wall. The right side just siding that.
(24:54):
Though it is the right side of that entry vestibule.
The back half was the kitchen the storage area for
Butler's servants quarters in there. But there's actually another staircase,
a little staircase, and a service staircase which is in
the other house. So the other house got all the staircases.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Uh huh, pretty coola. Okay, wait, there is another house
that like they took it.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
It's two away. They moved it two plots down.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Fort and you can see down they just got Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
I won't make a half off joke, but you can
do it for yourself and in your head at home
while driving. The other house is the back half, which
was moved two doors down on Maynard Street. Armed with
all of its fascinating history, Shoots knew he had to act.
This was the spur. Maybe we should just do something
about this and try and maintain it for future generations.
(25:45):
So Shoots applied for hysteric Landmark status and the Boston
Landmarks Commission voted unanimously to advance the application. Boston Mayor
Michel Wou and the City Council still have to approve
the application for it's officially designated as a historic landmark.
If so, three eighteen Metropolitan Boulevard in Roslindale will be
(26:07):
the first building to achieve this status.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
That's pretty cool, I mean, like, it's also interesting that
you're purposely applying for historical status on your house, making
it so much harder to do anything to your house
in the future. Agreed, Because the other house, I know,
the other house, like filled that space in the other
house added like a like where it's supposed where it
(26:34):
was cut in half. They added stuff. And then his
house just never added anything. So if you look at
the other house, like you can see where it was
cut in half. And then they they they built like
a what's the thing that's all glass.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Like a solarium or a slarium?
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Yea. The British have a funny word for it because
I was watching I watched.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
This, Hey, I watched family watch a garden show.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Right, no, yeah, it's like it's escaped to the country
and there. Their word for the like a selarium or
a sun room is something like it's something very grand,
like an arena or something. And it's just like, oh, really,
oh is this the arena. It's not the that's not
the right word, but I wish I could remember it
right now.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
But those sunrooms are nice, yeah, yeah, those are even
though aren't those like two season rooms that's like a
fall spring room because in the summer those rooms are
just Catsana. You're just sitting there trying to read architecture, didress,
feeling like your smarty pants and.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
The sweat in the winter it is so cold.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
So as a young man in Maryland, I had this.
One of my best friends lived nearby, but they lived
in a town called Boring, Maryland and classic classes two
miles from my house. Love it, and you know, they
they were Catholics, and they had four kids when I
(28:01):
had five kids when I became friends my buddy Steve,
and then you had twin younger brothers, and then a
sister and then another brother. And they had a pretty
modest sized home, but they had like fourteen acres. They
had creeks, they had hills, they had ponds we could
swim in. They had horses. It was a true We
rode dirt bikes. It was a real little kid in
(28:21):
the country. Awesome time. But because they're good Catholics, they
continued to have children. I believe they have ten.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Because God doesn't want you to wear a condom.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Jod does not want you to wear a condom. Many
Catholics as possible.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
What a funny, funny rule. I guess that's what it is,
right that's it. It's just like this is the only
way we're.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Going to get people to get out number them.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
We got to out number them, so you're not allowed
to not have children.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
I also heard that there was a thing in the
Catholic Church that the men. It would the men had
to work so hard to when they had multiple kids.
It kept them men home because they would be at
work or they'd be too exhausted to be you know,
landerers and drunks. So it was also a plan to
keep guys working so hard to support a family. But
(29:11):
I don't know, I'm not a I'm not a theologian,
but I have heard that before.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Yeah, yeah, there it is.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
So when I would first go over there as a
little guy, like first grade, second grade, their grade, spend
the night. There would be three sets of bunk beds,
and I would sleep in the one with my buddy Steve,
and then all his brothers and sisters were there, and
we'd you know, watch a fun movie and then we
would listen to a CD or a cassette of motown
hits and do wop hits. Okay, but then these kids
just kept on a coming. Yeah, so they had to
(29:42):
build a bigger house. So they built what everybody and
the family and then everybody else called the addition. Like
everybody's like they're building an addition. There's the additions going in.
And so they built this major addition so all these
kids would have their own bedrooms. But to do that,
in Maryland have basements, and so they had to dig
out tons of earth, tons of dirt to connect their
(30:02):
original house to this huge addition. So they did it,
and they had this massive pile of mud and dirt,
and so, you know, like you're moving, you know, you'd
think you hire a dump truck and a front end
loader and you get that stuff out of there, but
that's not really how you do things in boring Maryland.
So what this family did is they threw a party
(30:23):
and it was called the mud Hill Party, and all
the parents brought every kid we knew, I mean, twenty
five thirty kids, tons of parents, and as the parents
got drunk up on the flat part of the house,
the kids were all told to wrestle and roll and
fight and sled and sling mud. And we wrestled and
(30:44):
sledded and tumbled and made mud bombs on this mud
pile until it flattened out against the side of the hill.
So all day we got there like eleven am and
we left when the sun was down.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
And you know, the parents were tying, went on what
you and they're like, I said, they were Catholics, the
Irish Catholics shockingly do know how to drink. And so
at some point, you know, some of the dads are
throwing us down the mud hill and so the whole
party was kids up to their knees wrestling and throwing
(31:17):
each other down in the mud. One of the greatest
days of my entire life. That all we moved a
mountain of dirt down a hillside and leveled it with bodies. Wow,
children's body.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
That's awesome. I love that.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
And then you would look up the hill and you'd
see your soccer coach and you'd see your other friend's parents,
and everybody's having a Bartles and James Wine cooler and
they're watching kids caked throwing handfuls of mud. You know,
normally be like, hey, all of us, don't throw mud
at each other. Yeah, they were like, make a bigger one, Scottie,
and you'd like, roll like a snowman down the hill,
run to front flips land in mud. Oh wow, that's
(31:56):
so fold hands. We got sleds out. We were sledding
on dirt and mud to level this fill into the ground.
One of the greatest days of my life.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Oh man, that's awesome. It also reminded me of Bartles
and James. What what do you think Bartles and James tasted?
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Like? Oh? What? Like? What do you think the main
flavors were?
Speaker 3 (32:18):
No, I mean like, was it super sweet or was
it a wine taste?
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Like? What?
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Like? Because I never had a Bartles and James.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Before our time? Yeah, I and I think though James
had a Y in it? Right, is James the.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Y U J Y M E s is that it was?
Speaker 2 (32:37):
It was? I think so, I mean, it was definitely around.
I don't remember what the original flavor was, but the
bottles almost had the michelo shape bottle. They almost had
butt plug shaped bottles.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Yes, yes, exactly, it was a butt plug shape bottle.
And I just think about I just like, especially since
it has a WY in it, it would have been
really fun to go in and add an L after
the M in James. So it was Bartles and James
and that would have been so funny. To just add
it and leave it so people could buy it and
then just be somebody looking at it just like is
(33:13):
this say Bartles and Jameles.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Just switch at once, make it just instantly, make a
Mandela effect to be like, I think it was James.
You're like it was Bartles and James. And for those
around the world are under one hundred years of age.
There was a wine cooler company in the eighties called
Bartles and James and their commercials. I believe there was
like Ed and Frank. I think they were all guys
named Ed and Frank, and I don't remember. I guess
(33:40):
Frank Bartles ed James one of the ways. But one
guy would talk and he was just like slightly southern,
had the hat on the glasses, and then his friend
would just hold the Bartles and James and his drink
and never say a word. Yeah, And they had a
great catchphrase, which I think was Frank would say on
behalf of Ed and I we thank you for your support.
(34:03):
And they were just talking about getting drunk on Bartles
and James. Yeah. Oh, it was a sensation.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
It was a sensation and it was like, I mean
think those actors were rolling in it. From that that
was back then too. My god, the ad buys on
that ship?
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Who I know? Dreaming. I don't ever want to be
an actor, but if I was, ED just got to
sit there looking like a funny old man holding a
way cooler and getting paid in the shade like pink lemonade.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Yeah, man, man, is that a saying.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Made in the shade like pink lemonade?
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Is it really?
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Yeah? That's saying. But for ED and I ed myself,
we thank you for your support.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
Great, good, awesome.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
Now beer commercials are like running golf, Yeah, boobs, biceps beer,
and you're like, hmmm. I like when it was a dog, ye,
a skateboarding dog.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
A skateboarding dog. I like it when it's an old,
out of shape man just runk on a porch. Yes,
that I like.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Interest Jamaican band leader that would just say hooray beer, Like,
let's get back to character comedy. Come on, guys, right,
when is.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
It gonna happen? Is it that we need to be
Is it that people just don't want to laugh anymore
because everything is so dark? I don't It really does
seem fascinating that the only comedy now I love absurdism
but the only comedy now is like a non sequitor,
like that's it for like commercials and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Or a reference to something that already happened.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
Or a reference to another cultural like Milestone.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
That's the worst to me. I was at a little
screening the other night, premieer thing, and I was talking
to a producer about a different movie and he said, well,
sometimes you have to tell the audience what they want.
And I go, what do you mean? And he goes, well,
we produced Anchorman, and Anchorman got focus group tested before
(35:57):
it was released and it got like a thirty eight.
It was something in there which is bad. That's out
of a hundred.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
Oh yeah, I know it's bad.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
So out of one hundred it got a thirty eight
test group score. Went on to make tons of money
and honestly launched Will Ferrell into superstar. Them. Yep, Austin Powers,
same company got a twenty something like a twenty six,
and they were like, this is going to tank. And
then Austin Powers. There were three of them. The second
one might be the rare sequel that's better than the original.
(36:25):
And he was right, sometimes you have to tell the
audience what they like. And I think we've stopped doing
that comedy and now we just let the audience tell
us what they like, which is like YouTube challenges and
wearing big wigs, I guess, and lip syncing. People seem
to think lip syncing to other people's soundbites is just
(36:47):
peak comedy and it's really quick. It is.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
It's really really crazy. That lip thinking thing is so
it's so silly and humiliating that do you know what
I mean? Every time I it, I'm just like I
feel bad for you and this is ooh. And then
you look at like how many people have watched and
it's like four billion people. Every everyone in the world
has watched this and loves it.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Yeah. I listen to a lot of kDa out here,
ninety three point five KD. It's hip hop back in
the day in LA. It's the best hip hop station
and it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
It is. It's the La version of blazing hip hop
and R and B from New York.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Oh yeah. And for me, one of the great joys
of not being on TikTok and not having a personal
Instagram outside of the bananas is the dance. The dancer.
The dance influencers just were the one thing. I'm like,
this seems like a treadmill. You feel like Sisyphis every week.
(37:45):
You guys have to think of a new choreograph routine
and the body can only move so many ways and
that's what your audience wants. And then you collaborate with
another dancer. And I was like, this bums me out.
And then I was listening to KD and one of
the DJs was like, I like dance videos. That's what
I put on to zone out. I just watch endless
dance videos. And I was like, oh, wait a second.
I think this is because I'm a boring white guy
(38:07):
that I think this is the saddest shit. It makes
other people so happy. So I was like, maybe I
just need to shut up. Well, not like I was
really talking about, but I lack something that thrills other
people about extreme choreographed and stylized dancing. To me, me,
it depresses me. But I love to dance.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
He does love to dance, folks. He's the first one
out on the dance floor.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Damn right. But yeah, anyway, shout out to all the
dance fluencers. You'll never be on bananas, but God bless
you keep dancing. I bet it keeps your gluteous Maximus
is firm and robust.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
Also shout out to Tom everyone who's on the Instagram
treadmill it is or the TikTok treadmill. It is not
fun and it is seems to be the only way
to supset to survive, And it's brutal just to constantly
just feed content into a thing for free, into a
(39:08):
thing in hopes it's somewhere it will pay off in
some way.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
You gotta put butts in seats kirts. You want me
to do some thumbs ups?
Speaker 3 (39:19):
I do. Oh yeah, let me tease you into it, baby,
tease us into it. Murmur hikers hiker fools people into
believing he delivered pizza at to Mount Fiji.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Is it Fiji or Fuji? Which one? Mount Fiji?
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Mount Fiji?
Speaker 2 (39:35):

J and an I's right.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Haley Tanner wants to thumb her kid Beatrix way up.
Beatrix is twelve. They live in New York City. Yes,
and she's doing an amazing job in general, just being
a great kid. She was a COVID kid and you
know what it was like, Kurt, It was tough. Yes,
it's tough years on these kids, especially in New York City.
But Beatrix is doing an awesome job. She recently represented
Brooklyn in the New York City Project Soapbox competition.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
Oh hell yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
And so the kids, along with racing soapboxes, also get
to make speeches, which is fun. And Beatrix spoke against
book bands. Yeah, and between the racing and the speaking
did so well that she ended up on the main stage.
Haley says she is the best in the biz.
Speaker 3 (40:24):
Nice thumbs up.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
That's not BAM books, guys, that's for huge dorks and
losers only. Shoshana wants. Shoshana sounds a lot, sends a
lot of great stories, excuse me, including some I did
the Chicago show. Shoshana wants to thumb her husband way up.
He signed on for his fifth year teaching at the
same school. He's a rabbi and he teaches Judaic studies
(40:48):
to middle schoolers and he had tried a few different
places out but it's his current school or location that
has just been a great place that has nurtured his
talents made him more confident, and Shoshana is so proud
of him. That's nice.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
Sumbs up. And also to anybody who's looking for that
specific place, whether it be a school or community pool
or a bar, and you've been to couple and they suck,
Believe me, there is one that is just right for you.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
There's a glove for every hand, folks.
Speaker 3 (41:20):
So for the eight fingered ones, thank you.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
Rachel Shine wants to thumb her little bro Danny up.
Danny's been working on This is great actually because you're
going to think what she covers at the end. Rachel
Shine wants the thumb up her little Brodanny. Danny's been
working on a super important project for several years. He
is making incredible progress and Rachel is so proud of him.
Speaker 3 (41:43):

Speaker 2 (41:44):
Rachel adds, sorry, it's totally vague. He's a private dude,
so it's a special super project. He's been working on
it for several years and he's making incredible progress. You
can guess at home what Danny's doing. I think he's
building a glider that goes underground.
Speaker 3 (42:03):
I love it. I love it also that it's like,
you know, I'm gonna give a thumbs up to the
person who doesn't want anything to be known about their lives.
But either way, do Danny dooty Danny the private dude
thumbs up, Bro combs out.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
To you, Bro. And last, but not least, let's see,
we did a did a daughter, we did a younger brother,
we did a rabbi husband. That's a great start. There's
only one way to end these thumbs ups today.
Speaker 3 (42:31):
A dog who drives a car pretty close.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
Katie old Jasterer's ab or jas Oh yes, true, jast Zabe.
I think it's Katie Jaster's app And I'm so sorry
Katie that it's a tricky last name. But I love
any name with a Z in it except Zoe. That
name is weird. I love the name. So if you're
(42:58):
all Zoe's out their thumbs up, Katie is thumbing up
all the worms in her basement. All one thousand red
wrigglers worked tiresly twenty four to seven to make nutritious
compost out the kitchen scraps and shredded bank statements. Thumbs up,
one thousand thumbs up for the one thousand red wrigglers.
Speaker 3 (43:20):
Red wrigglers, I mean they It definitely seems like they're
just the basement is filled with trash and worms. But
I'm assuming it's a composting section in the basement regardless,
great place to keep it.
Speaker 2 (43:35):
And I never knew worms. Eight treaded bank statements. That's
an exciting sort of like stick it to capitalism moment.
It's a reminder we all return to the earth. It
doesn't matter how many toys you die with. It doesn't
matter how much money you have in the bank. At
the end of the day. Your worm food. All right,
KURTI b what we got, buddy boy. Here it is.
Speaker 3 (43:55):
This was sent in by Justin. Thank you, Justin.
Speaker 2 (43:58):
We love a Justin.
Speaker 3 (44:00):
This was on jack Aranda FM.
Speaker 2 (44:03):
We've actually done that one before, so I know you're
not lying to me.
Speaker 3 (44:07):
That's correct. It was written by It's actually by jack
Aranda FM. Jack Aranda FM. The whatever that is.
Speaker 2 (44:15):
It's a flower. It's a tree, right, it's a flowering tree.
It's the purple flowering trees.
Speaker 3 (44:20):
It's a purple flowering tree on the radio.
Speaker 1 (44:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, the radio wrote this.
Speaker 2 (44:28):
Here. It is.
Speaker 3 (44:29):
We've heard a lot of people going to great lengths
to ensure the customers get what they want. But we
have also seen some vile delivery drivers. True, that's true,
my goodness. Some have taken orders back because the customers
didn't tip them, while others helped themselves to their customers takeaway. No, no, no.
If you don't tip a delivery driver, I think they
(44:50):
should be allowed to take it away from you. I
think that's that's not a vile delivery driver. That is
a person reminding a prick what is? What is accurate
and correct?
Speaker 2 (45:05):
Anyway? It does a hot take that I agree with.
If you yes, order food, tip.
Speaker 3 (45:12):
Yeah, if you're in an order food, you're gonna make
someone deliver food to you on your couch. You monarch royalty,
if you're a royalty, exactly for a moment, you're gonna
be oh, butler, butler, bring me my McDonald's and then
not tip them.
Speaker 2 (45:31):
Fuck you, that's right. I got in that uber when
uber eats was a thing, and it's smell Nick McDonald's,
I go, do do uber eats? Yes, what's the thing
you deliver most McDonald's. Do you ever read the fries
every time? The driver said, every time, a delicious fries.
Speaker 3 (45:50):
But we have all because of the but we were
surprised to hear about a pizza delivery guy who traveled
six hours up a mountain to get a pizza to
a hiker. In twenty twenty two, a post of a
man dressed in a popular pizza brand uniform carrying a
pizza delivery bag up Mount Fuji. It is Mount Fuji
and written in the in the title by jack Aranda FM,
(46:12):
it says Mount Fiji.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
Yeah, they are not necessarily the fact checkers. You know,
they're not winning any spelling bees at Jackaranda dot FM.
Speaker 3 (46:22):
Recently the post resurfaced and people have been praising Domino's
Japan for their amazing service. But it seems it was
a case of misinterpretation.
Speaker 2 (46:31):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (46:32):
I feel like this was written by Ai The delivery
man quote turned out to be an office worker who
enjoys hiking while dressed in various delivery uniforms. The man
um Uma Uma Nami Futo Futashi Futoshi Uma Uma Nami
Futashi regularly dressed up in delivery uniforms while carrying delivery
(46:54):
bags filled with various equipment and necessities for his hike.
Okay Uma has previously Uma Nami has previously worn a
variety of uniforms on hikes, including those of Uber Eatsu,
Demai Cana, a Japanese delivery service, and Pizza La, Japan's
second highest grossing pizza chain after Domino's Pizza. It seems
(47:17):
Umanami enjoys immersing into the role he decides to undertake
during his hike. He sticks to the script so much
so that he managed to feed many people. We were
even taken aback by the story. We were even taken
aback taking amback.
Speaker 2 (47:32):
This is Ai. It's Ai.
Speaker 3 (47:34):
It certainly creates a good storyline for the takeaway brands
that he represents a form of free advertising, you could say,
and that's how it ends. This is one written by Ai.
Speaker 2 (47:43):
Yeah, not even good AI bad bad radio.
Speaker 3 (47:48):
At this point. At this point, AI can write stuff
and I won't be able to tell it, but Jack
rand FM.
Speaker 2 (47:54):
But the story is, the guy didn't really deliver. He
dits up the mountain.
Speaker 3 (47:58):
So he so there's a picture of him. He's got it.
He's dressed as a Domino's delivery guy. He's got a
gigantic Domino's bag on his back, and he did bring
a pizza up and gave it to someone cool. But
it was all just him doing it for fun because
he thinks it's funny. Oh, no one actually ordered the pizza. Oh,
he's one hundred percent. Also, yeah, if you if you're
(48:21):
into like hiking like that, I'm into hiking like that, Mike,
why not dress up like that do that? That's just
such a delightful thing to do.
Speaker 2 (48:30):
Yeah, deliver pizza to a hike on top of a mountain.
They will scarf it down so hard.
Speaker 3 (48:35):
And no matter how popular a trail is, there's a
there comes a certain point where when a trail is
hard enough where you're just like, no.
Speaker 2 (48:45):
One has ever been here before. I am doing something
that is so hard and difficult.
Speaker 3 (48:51):
No one could ever even understand this. And then just
to see a Domino's delivery guy like walk past you
is so very very funny.
Speaker 2 (48:59):
You know what's cool about your move back to these coasts.
You're gonna be able to take your kids. I don't
think you've done this already to Storm King.
Speaker 3 (49:05):
Yes, I'm excited about that.
Speaker 2 (49:07):
Talk about the first time experience checking one off. Storm King.
Is this giant and it's in New York. It's in
New York state, upstate a little bit, and is a
giant outdoor sculpture park that you The sculptures are sometimes
i don't know, two hundred feet tall, huge and you
can just wander out these huge fields in the trees
and the grass and just walk under amazing statues. So
(49:31):
it's really amazing.
Speaker 3 (49:32):
I'm very excited to do that. I have been like,
I've trained my Instagram algorithm to only now show me
like what things you can do in New Jersey and
New York and New York City, and it's great. I'm
so excited.
Speaker 2 (49:45):
Some people enjoy using drugs, Kurt, and some don't. And
the truth is is do whatever you want to do
if you're an adult. But if you are ever on
a big road trip or you're living that van life,
or you just want to America and New England, what's
got to offer? And say you do partake in exotic delights.
(50:09):
If you take mushrooms, for example, that's I'm just spitball
And I was thinking of drugs. It could have been
it could have been pine tar, heroin. But and walk
around storm King on a nice may day, you will
have one of the finest It'll be like your soccer
coach is throwing you down a mud hill. Repeatedly to
(50:31):
flatten out the dirt. It is a special day up there.
It is so beautiful up there.
Speaker 3 (50:36):
It is really beautiful up there, and I'm very, very
excited to explore all that the East Coast has to
offer again, especially now that I'll have a car. Oh yeah,
it's gonna be.
Speaker 1 (50:46):
Car car and kids, Hell yeah, kids, yeah, I tease

review on Apple or Spotify wherever you listen to podcasts.
Sometimes the jerks give us one star because they don't
like that were inclusive, So tell them to shove it
up their butts like a nose in a Museum of
(51:15):
Animal anuses with five stars. Virginia woman traumatized after a
snake falls into her margarita. Now, Lisa Maggot did post
this on our Instagram, but not every We have way
more listeners than Instagram followers. So a woman in Virginia
got more than what she paid for after a snake
fell from a restaurant's ceiling and landed in her margarita.
(51:36):
This was written by Julia or Nato for The Daily Beast.
That's a real website. Okay, Yeah, I leaned in to
take a sip. I noticed something hit me in the forehead.
I looked at my husband and he was like, what
was that. When I turned around, I saw a snake
in my margarita. Another customer eventually grabbed the snake and
released it outside. Great customer. Yeah, also, I would have
done that. I'm so jealous of that customer. Oh. I
(52:01):
would spin that yarn into thirteen solid minutes of mediocre comedy.
She said. She left shaking. I was traumatized. The restaurant
owner told eight News that the snake likely got into
the establishment through an air conditioning unit. When asked what
precautions were put in place to avoid a repeat of
the incident, the owner told eight News nothing. He doesn't care.
(52:26):
So that's all.
Speaker 3 (52:27):
All you need to do is put a great or
like just a screen, that's all you need.
Speaker 2 (52:35):

There's a museum in Japan where you can sniff different animals.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Butts would love to do it, just joking, would hate
to do it. It smells like a great episode of
Bananas Sad.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
World.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Would you believe.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Your mindzillion pieces? Would you? Jancy, guys, girls, non binary pals,
welcome to yet again another solo episode of Banana's Just
(01:14):
Me and Scottie Landis.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Mm mmmm that's right. This is Banana Boy number two.
Thank you for listening to the silliest little podcast there
ever was. And you know, shout out, It's Asian American
Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Kurt, It's May in America. Shout
out to our many many many AA PI bananimals. We
(01:39):
just love you, big love, big love. And what a month.
And they gave you a great month or you took
a great month. However it went down because May is
usually the most beautiful month in North America. September a
close second.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I am so I, as everyone knows, the saga of
my moving continues. I am. You know, people told me,
people said, you gotta get a pod man, you gotta
use pods because pods are more affordable than using a
moving company. H And it's just the The goddamn issues
(02:15):
with the pod have been NonStop, and the latest one
is there is no place to put the pod where
I'm moving into in New Jersey because it's two like
kind of busy streets. Oh and the a building doesn't
have like a loading dock or I guess. But anyway,
the way I find all of this out is that
(02:37):
so I have to submit a permit for a permit
to like put it on the street. Submit the permit.
I submit it at I don't know, nine to thirty am.
At ten fifteen, I get a phone call from the
police station. Because the police are the ones who like,
like say it's a thumbs up or thumbs down, okay,
And it's just the super super Jersey dude who's very
(03:01):
nice uh, and he's just and literally I just hear
him and like somebody else like walking through trying to
figure out how we could possibly put a pod. And
he's like, I'm not a no guy. I'm an I'm
a yes man. All right, I'm a yes man. I
want to say yes to this, but you cannot put
a pod here. You can't put a pod here. And
then like I was on the phone with him for
like fifteen twenty minutes and then finally he just goes, uh, so,
(03:24):
why are you moving from California to New Jersey?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Good leading question?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
And I was like, I'm from New Jersey and he's like, ah, well,
welcome home.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
So do you think there's a solution. Also, I thought
POD's whole thing is they had like pod storage areas
or something.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Sure, but then you have to get a truck to
unload the pod at the pod storage area, then drive
the truck and it's just and then at that point,
why am I not just having a truck Because also
the problem with the pod is that like for a
truck for a moving company, they have the blankets, they
have the boxes they come in. They're like here, put
your stuff in the boxes. Then you take it out
(04:03):
because then we take our boxes back, then we take
our blankets back, then we take our ties back, you know.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
For the pod.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
It's like they don't have any of that stuff you
have to buy moving blankets Like its cuckoo balls. I'm
like looking at spending like a thousand dollars in just
like supplies, supply, like additional supplies in addition to the
thousands of dollars that I'm already spending. So I think
I'm very close to just for just trying to get
(04:30):
a regular moving company to move it.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, I understand. I used to when I moved from
Brooklyn to Los Angeles and I had a globe, a
freestanding globe that I got from a guy in my building.
His mother lived there from when the building was built
to when she passed away, so like eighty years or something,
and he moved all his personal belongings out and then
he just put up signs in our building that was like,
(04:52):
come take whatever you want. It's a help to me.
I love it. And yeah, it was cool. And i'd
never seen this guy before. I never met his you know,
eighty something, your old mom. We weren't hanging out as
much as you would have thought. No matter how many
beer funnels I took over to her front.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Door, I always said no.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Yeah, Dolores always said no, get away, I'm calling the
police department. And so there was a standing globe that
had old like Rhodesia, USSR, Burma all that stuff on it.
So I was like, this is cool. And I just
thought when I had the little moving pod, I hired
(05:32):
movers and they packed it all in and they drove
it across the country that they would just put the
free standing globe in there, and staid they put it
in a box. And the man clearly didn't know the
word for globe, so he just wrote round map on
all four sides of the box. And I couldn't agree
with that description more. It is a round map, it is.
(05:52):
That's all the globe will ever be. So maps are
the originals. Globes can kiss my dairy air, I love.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Man. Do you still have that free standing globe?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I do. It's in It's in my freestanding garage right
now because I'm not sure where I'm gonna put it.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I also, it's like a stand up It's like, you know,
it's like up to your waist or something. Those are
so beautiful. I would love one of those. I definitely
think that that is something I'm gonna look for when
I have, like, you know, a house in New Jersey
that I have to like fill with things again, I'm
gonna so in.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
My round map, get a round map in your off.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Right to just gather dust. I wanted to get dusty
and have an additional thing to clean. But honestly, I
think they would be really nice. You know what would
be even better, though, is the ones that open up
and it's a bar inside.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
That's a class that is It's like a Winston Churchill
classic day drunk maneuver. Yeah, I'm all in. I I
we used to always put this, so I wrote like,
I don't know, I would guess. I wrote eleven full
feature length screenplays before I sold. Yes, the first one.
(07:05):
The first one's very bad.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
I remember looking at them all. They were just like
all in a row on your bookshelf.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Yeah, and some were scary and some were comedy, and
then some were dramas.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
And what was one drum line?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
One was drum line? Yeah, great movie. Also, I will
watch drum Line right now, that movie, love it. And
I don't like Nick Cannon at all.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Was there another one called jim Spastics or something.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Oh, nastics Ynastics. Yeah, that was about identical twins who
could like read each other's minds and competed. Moved to
Texas too. I think they were Albanian, and they moved
to Texas to compete for Team USA Gymnastics. But they
both suffered catastrophic injuries and the other ones felt the
pain of the other one at unfortunate times. One was
having sex and the other one broke his hip doing
(07:52):
something like riding in the back of a pickup truck,
and so you get it. That one was pretty good, though.
But I had this thing, you know, when you were
a kid, you'd spin a map and drag your finger
on it and be like, I'm going to live in
and you spin it, yeah, go my YORCA wherever it
would land on. So, for some reason, in like five
(08:13):
of those scripts, I had a character that would like
be the badass but loser, like Deadpole is probably the
best modern equivalent, where it's like total badass but then
way over confident, kind of an idiot underneath it all. Yeah,
And every time I would introduce that character in like
three or four scripts, they would spin the globe and
(08:34):
then somebody would come in to meet them and they'd
be dragging their finger and they'd look down and it
would be in the middle of an ocean, and it
would they would just say, I better learn how to swim.
And nobody. Nobody liked it. Nobody got it, nobody commented
on it. It was just a joke for me after
all these years. So if I ever get some real
umph in this town, I'm going to have somebody spin
(08:55):
a globe, drag their finger. It's seventy percent water.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
You're going to end up in the ocean most of
the time.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Just say, better learn how to swim. No wonder it
took so long for me.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I know, I really that is one thing that I've
yet to do. I would love to. I just I
just realized something that I want to do in my life, Scottie.
I want to be in I want to be in
the middle of the ocean. I want to like, I
want to sail somewhere. I want to take a boat somewhere.
I want to not you know, I want to go
(09:27):
in the very middle. So like maybe take a boat
to Europe or something.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah, there's a guy doing it right now. Are you
following Sailing with Phoenix?
Speaker 3 (09:37):
I I followed a few different ones. I don't know
if Sailing with Phoenix has my current follow.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
He's we're following him on the Banana's account. But he's
the dude that left Oregon. He's sailing for Hawaii with
his cat named Phoenix.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Nice. Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I saw like a year ago he bought a boat,
learned how to sail, and he's like, I think today's
like day nineteen, and it is captivating because yeah, yeah,
a lot can go wrong. It seems like a lot's
going right.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I watched this woman Cole who became the I think
one like a world record with the fastest circumnavigation of
the globe by herself damn at age. I don't know.
She's twenty one, I think, damn. But she literally uploaded
every single day of what was going on. It was crazy.
(10:25):
And also the amount of stuff that breaks down, It's
just constant breaking down stuff. She had every single thing
on board she would have a secondary of so like
if her electric motor died, she would have a secondary
electric motor in case the wind died. It was really crazy.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Damn, Well, we should have her on the pod. I
want to have somebody that's sailed by themselves down the world. Okay,
great US or road I think that I have so
many dumb questions. Oh, you're an idiot.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
She seems great. I think she's currently sailing around the
world again. But we'll get her on the pod.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
You know, that's one of the questions I'll ask because
I have a sense and I think I mentioned this
while ago on the pod. It's a very privileged feeling
to feel. But a lot of times when I've always
say you want to see the Eiffel Tower, and then
you finally see it, you feel like you've checked off
a certain box and you're like, Okay, I can never
see that for the first time again. I can never
have the anticipation see this the Grand Canyon. First time
(11:18):
I did a road trip and saw the Grand Canyon,
it was incredible. It's better than I ever imagined. Actually,
But then I was sort of sad because I can't
ever think about seeing it for the first time again.
Oh and I wonder if you sail around the world. Well,
it's like if you went back to college, you'd almost
want to clean slate and be a freshman again and
not know how anything works, because if you go back now,
it's like the nerves and the confusion and the learning process.
(11:42):
It's stupid now, we know, But yeah, first time you
go through it, it's just like getting hit by a
tidal wave. But I wonder if when you sail around
the world once, if you're like, I've done it. I've
sailed as far on this planet that you can possibly sail.
I've done the whole thing. Yeah, you know, like she's
conquered the whole planet.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Well, one very narrow path around it, like a piece
of string around it.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Still pretty good. But we'll just have to ask her
real depressed early in the podcast.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
I love that question. You want to hear this?
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Uh? Boy? Do I?
Speaker 3 (12:23):
This was sent in by Monica. Thank you, Monica.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
That's a cute name. I always like the name Monica.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
You can send your strange news stories to us at
the Bananas Podcast on Instagram or the Bananas Podcast at
gmail dot com, or go to our website bananas podcast
dot com. This is from Daily, Oh Oh Daily.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
I read that every day.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
It doesn't I mean, it does seem like a daily orgasm,
but here it is. Japan turns sniffing animal butts into
a museum experience. Cheeky art can be appreciated in many forms.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
By yeah, I can do this.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Here we go, I can't get to the rest of
you do it, and then the next paragraphs about what
the fact who wrote this explaining Japan? Oh, thank you, Scotty.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Well, they're because they're already off to a mediumist and
the biz start. I just want to really let them
know I got my eyes on them. I'm coming in.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
I'm very excited about this name, like a Condor Debo
dinner CHACKROBORDI.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Welld damn, I'm glad, I asked.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
God, Davin. That's the best name I've ever heard.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Can I buy a vow.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Debo dinner Chackrobardi? He looks awesome.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
That's going on the names list for sure.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Debo dinner Chack Rebardi. Thank you. Maybe it's Chakra Bardi.
It might be Chakrabordie. Anyway, it's a great name, and
now I'm reading every single word he wrote. Art can
be appreciated in various forms, from observing it for hours
to hang in on your wall. However, Japan has added
a unique twist by considering sniffing animal butts a worthy
(14:07):
addition to.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
The art world. Yeah, I could see it.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
What the Japan is renowned for its diverse cultural offerings.
I'm just reading the words on the page, including anime,
unconventional furniture, technology, cinema, literature, and distinct artistry. If he
had done seven more, it would have been really funny. Recently,
a video surfaced odd Line, causing a significant buzz as
(14:30):
it showcased people sniffing animal butts at an exhibition in Kobe, Japan. Recently,
a fashion model named Gabriella Bernard She's the Best, shared
a video of her experience at the Atoa Aquarium at Kobe, Japan,
in which people could be seen sniffing animal butts through
portraits of animals at an open to all exhibition. The
(14:54):
exhibition garnered attention due to its unconventional concept, aligning with
Japan's pension for embracing unique The video showcased numerous individuals
fearlessly exploring the array of butts on display. Ew tell
me more. The exhibition at Atoa Aquarium showcast captivating glass
frames containing diverse fauna portraits. These frames incorporated small open holes,
(15:24):
inviting visitors to engage their sense of smell by rubbing,
and yes, even sniffing to portrayed animals, butts okay. Each
image was infused with carefully crafted artificial fragrances, successfully replicating
the distinct scent associated with each animal's butt. The video
(15:45):
demonstrated people eagerly sniffing scents ranging from penguins, cats, and
rabbits to even a tiger, although the latter proved overwhelming
for Gabriella's olafactory senses. Hm A toa Aquarium promotes its
quote gallery section on their official website, proclaiming that the
art within each frame will captivate visitors senses. It is
(16:07):
safe to say that this prom they take this promise
quite seriously. And then it says, how are people taking it?
And this is where we just.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Up the butt sounds like.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
This is where we just quote social media, which I
don't think we need.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I know that is why we've fallen so far.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
We've fallen so far. But thank you so much, Debo,
Dinna Chak Robardi.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
You did it, You Todd did it, and it's a
beautiful thing. So first things first, would you do it?
If you were there? Would you go smelling animal's But.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Of course, of course, of course I would and my
kids would lose their fucking mind. They would love it.
They would love it so so, so so much.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Butts are funny and.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
I can imagine everybody's exact uh reaction every butt smelling,
which is the which is a delight. Yeah, oh god, you.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Gotta smelled as this one's gross.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
I remember going to I had never gone to a
Uh what are they? I don't even know. I guess
they're called Haunted House. There these the Haunted House tourists
at Universal. Oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Oh like the the whole night where they just like
block out the month.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that is called yeah you keep
Halloween Horranites. Yeah, Halloween has and it is definitively terrifying.
I don't boy, I am not a I'm not a
person who likes to be scared. I feel like I'm
already stressed out enough. I don't want to be to
relax by getting stressed out correct, and uh it just
(17:57):
like spikes my cortisol in a way that like, ah,
I just leave feeling like gross. But one thing they
started doing, which was so like, It's the thing I
remember the most about all of them that we went
to was that they started incorporating smells into them that
they had that year, so you would.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Walk pump stinks around.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
So there's like one room where you're supposed to be
kind of like underground, and then there's just like a
dirt smell, and then there's another room where it's supposed
to be like a more room, and then there's like
a formalga hide smell, and then another room that's like
an old musty hotel room and it's supposed to be
like a musty smell, and it was so fucking gross,
(18:43):
and so like I hated it so much. But then
on this other one, so that it happened in one
of the ones, and I was like, oh boy, they're
using smells. And then we go to do the other
one and I was just like, this one is so terrible,
and I like complained about it the whole time. And
(19:04):
then we got out and it was right behind a
giant line of port poties and it was just the
porter Potti smell coming in, and I thought it was
this curated, crafted experience that they're paying like millions of
dollars for.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Oh man, that's a that's not a good one, you know,
they do that thing in Preakness. Pickness was last week
in Corse named Journalism one.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Wow, I love that name. Is the name a horse
named germinal Journalism?
Speaker 2 (19:32):
No, sadly it's just journalism.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
But I still I think either one is a good name.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
And they do a thing there where on the infield.
You know, it's like a party. People go wild, get
drunk and it's like people, it's just Maryland really showing
that they are rednecks. Yeah, and they do porta potty
races where it's usually a woman and she gets up
on one end of the roll porta potties and runs
the whole thing and people not supposed to, but everybody
throws their beers and stuff at that person. You see
(19:58):
how many porter potties they can run across before eating
shit so hard?
Speaker 3 (20:03):
God?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
And uh, if you haven't seen it in person, they
didn't do it when I was there. I went to
a few Freaknesses, but I never saw it. But now,
boy YouTube, you could just spend a whole day for
real nose eyeballs port potty races. That was not great.
It's not great, no, is it?
Speaker 3 (20:23):
And then when they fall they fall from the top.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Of Also sometimes people well they're also drunk. So also
people are people are doors are opening. You see, sometimes
the foot will hit the door and go out and
they either fall in front of behind of or it's
usually raining for some reason around busness and so the
mud it's just like would Stock ninety four. Yeah, it's
not great, but you know, those people become fathers and
(20:49):
mothers and educators and politicians, you know, I mean, damn,
but the Halloween Hard Knight's is so scary because you sound.
The thing is they have people with cans that are
just scared and the cans must have like nickels or
oh yeah something yeah yeah yeah, nuts and bolts in them,
and they just run at you shaking them.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
And it really it really works.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yeah, it makes you want to punch them as hard
as possible. And it made me realize that I hate
loud noises rushing towards me. Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
And also another thing that they do is they have
chainsaws that they've taken the chain out of, but it's
like a gas powered chainsaw, and they'll run up to
you and then revit underneath you, and it is so
disturbing and upsetting that it's like it's really intense because
you can smell the gasoline and it's a really loud
(21:39):
noise and it's a chainsaw. In addition, it's cool.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
It's cool that chainsaws were the technology that just have
owned horror movies for so long. And shout out to
chain sauce. Let's get us sauce. Yeah, let's get the
Milwaukee sponsorship.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Milwaukee's my brand. I have decided. I have chosen a brand.
I have chosen a brand for my power tools in
Milwaukee is my brand, quality brand, because you know, once
you those batteries don't die. Baby, I recommend Milwaukee.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
What's your like Milwaukee? I'm going Milwaukee too. Hey, you're
not leaving me in the dust. Also, Milwaukee is just
one of those great cities where they have houses bars
that look like houses and you just go in and
it's a bar and you thought it was a house,
and damn, that's a great idea.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
It is a great idea. In New Orleans also has that,
and it makes me happy every single time.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Every single time, Oh, here's a house one speaking of
what a segue. He's professional po castors. Jess Burke sent
this in thank you. Jess Burke, Boston homeowner thought something
was odd about his house. He discovered it was cut
in half. What Yeah, pretty run and the photos great.
(22:52):
This was on WBZ News, written by the best in
the cutting in the house biz, Chris Tanaka. I'm not
going to guess that he is Asian American, but it
would be a pretty safe bet. But who knows. Maybe
he's of those famous Russian tanakas well. They're Asian too. Damn.
Who knows a house in Boston is on its way
(23:15):
to becoming a historic landmark after the current owner discovered
something unusual about the homes history. It just looked odd,
said Adam Shoots. Shoots is such a good Massachusetts name,
the Shootsbury. I'm sure there's a Schutzburg. That guy is
a New Englander. Shoots felt that way when he first
saw the house three eighteen Metropolitan Boulevard in Roslindale back
(23:36):
in twenty sixteen. He and his wife were home shopping
and noticed some irregularities. Yeah, exciting. We didn't understand when
we bought the house. We didn't understand why this wall
was here. So abruptly, he said, just inside the entry,
the vestibule opens to the middle and left, but is
walled off to the right. So you know, like a
vestibule is sort of like that little foyer before the foyer.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Aim, I'm looking at it. I'm looking at it right now.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Now I see you can tell where that wall is.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Yeah, tell it to a cut of half. But I
don't understand where the half went.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
I I'm not going to tell you, all right, Great,
a scientist by trade and curious by nature, Shoots set
about researching the property and previous owners. When checking some
old permits, he discovered the unimaginable in a world. Then
it sort of clicked because that house just down the
road two houses down looks very similar. So they just
(24:29):
moved half the house two houses down. You can see
it from that house. Turns out the original structure was
literally cut in two back in nineteen forty one, big
year for cutting houses forty one. When looking at it
from the street, one side of the house is an
ornate Victorian with a wrap around porch. The other side
is a flat exterior wall. The right side just siding that.
(24:54):
Though it is the right side of that entry vestibule.
The back half was the kitchen the storage area for
Butler's servants quarters in there. But there's actually another staircase,
a little staircase, and a service staircase which is in
the other house. So the other house got all the staircases.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Uh huh, pretty coola. Okay, wait, there is another house
that like they took it.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
It's two away. They moved it two plots down.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Fort and you can see down they just got Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
I won't make a half off joke, but you can
do it for yourself and in your head at home
while driving. The other house is the back half, which
was moved two doors down on Maynard Street. Armed with
all of its fascinating history, Shoots knew he had to act.
This was the spur. Maybe we should just do something
about this and try and maintain it for future generations.
(25:45):
So Shoots applied for hysteric Landmark status and the Boston
Landmarks Commission voted unanimously to advance the application. Boston Mayor
Michel Wou and the City Council still have to approve
the application for it's officially designated as a historic landmark.
If so, three eighteen Metropolitan Boulevard in Roslindale will be
(26:07):
the first building to achieve this status.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
That's pretty cool, I mean, like, it's also interesting that
you're purposely applying for historical status on your house, making
it so much harder to do anything to your house
in the future. Agreed, Because the other house, I know,
the other house, like filled that space in the other
house added like a like where it's supposed where it
(26:34):
was cut in half. They added stuff. And then his
house just never added anything. So if you look at
the other house, like you can see where it was
cut in half. And then they they they built like
a what's the thing that's all glass.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Like a solarium or a slarium?
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Yea. The British have a funny word for it because
I was watching I watched.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
This, Hey, I watched family watch a garden show.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Right, no, yeah, it's like it's escaped to the country
and there. Their word for the like a selarium or
a sun room is something like it's something very grand,
like an arena or something. And it's just like, oh, really,
oh is this the arena. It's not the that's not
the right word, but I wish I could remember it
right now.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
But those sunrooms are nice, yeah, yeah, those are even
though aren't those like two season rooms that's like a
fall spring room because in the summer those rooms are
just Catsana. You're just sitting there trying to read architecture, didress,
feeling like your smarty pants and.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
The sweat in the winter it is so cold.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
So as a young man in Maryland, I had this.
One of my best friends lived nearby, but they lived
in a town called Boring, Maryland and classic classes two
miles from my house. Love it, and you know, they
they were Catholics, and they had four kids when I
(28:01):
had five kids when I became friends my buddy Steve,
and then you had twin younger brothers, and then a
sister and then another brother. And they had a pretty
modest sized home, but they had like fourteen acres. They
had creeks, they had hills, they had ponds we could
swim in. They had horses. It was a true We
rode dirt bikes. It was a real little kid in
(28:21):
the country. Awesome time. But because they're good Catholics, they
continued to have children. I believe they have ten.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Because God doesn't want you to wear a condom.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Jod does not want you to wear a condom. Many
Catholics as possible.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
What a funny, funny rule. I guess that's what it is,
right that's it. It's just like this is the only
way we're.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Going to get people to get out number them.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
We got to out number them, so you're not allowed
to not have children.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
I also heard that there was a thing in the
Catholic Church that the men. It would the men had
to work so hard to when they had multiple kids.
It kept them men home because they would be at
work or they'd be too exhausted to be you know,
landerers and drunks. So it was also a plan to
keep guys working so hard to support a family. But
(29:11):
I don't know, I'm not a I'm not a theologian,
but I have heard that before.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Yeah, yeah, there it is.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
So when I would first go over there as a
little guy, like first grade, second grade, their grade, spend
the night. There would be three sets of bunk beds,
and I would sleep in the one with my buddy Steve,
and then all his brothers and sisters were there, and
we'd you know, watch a fun movie and then we
would listen to a CD or a cassette of motown
hits and do wop hits. Okay, but then these kids
just kept on a coming. Yeah, so they had to
(29:42):
build a bigger house. So they built what everybody and
the family and then everybody else called the addition. Like
everybody's like they're building an addition. There's the additions going in.
And so they built this major addition so all these
kids would have their own bedrooms. But to do that,
in Maryland have basements, and so they had to dig
out tons of earth, tons of dirt to connect their
(30:02):
original house to this huge addition. So they did it,
and they had this massive pile of mud and dirt,
and so, you know, like you're moving, you know, you'd
think you hire a dump truck and a front end
loader and you get that stuff out of there, but
that's not really how you do things in boring Maryland.
So what this family did is they threw a party
(30:23):
and it was called the mud Hill Party, and all
the parents brought every kid we knew, I mean, twenty
five thirty kids, tons of parents, and as the parents
got drunk up on the flat part of the house,
the kids were all told to wrestle and roll and
fight and sled and sling mud. And we wrestled and
(30:44):
sledded and tumbled and made mud bombs on this mud
pile until it flattened out against the side of the hill.
So all day we got there like eleven am and
we left when the sun was down.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
And you know, the parents were tying, went on what
you and they're like, I said, they were Catholics, the
Irish Catholics shockingly do know how to drink. And so
at some point, you know, some of the dads are
throwing us down the mud hill and so the whole
party was kids up to their knees wrestling and throwing
(31:17):
each other down in the mud. One of the greatest
days of my entire life. That all we moved a
mountain of dirt down a hillside and leveled it with bodies. Wow,
children's body.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
That's awesome. I love that.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
And then you would look up the hill and you'd
see your soccer coach and you'd see your other friend's parents,
and everybody's having a Bartles and James Wine cooler and
they're watching kids caked throwing handfuls of mud. You know,
normally be like, hey, all of us, don't throw mud
at each other. Yeah, they were like, make a bigger one, Scottie,
and you'd like, roll like a snowman down the hill,
run to front flips land in mud. Oh wow, that's
(31:56):
so fold hands. We got sleds out. We were sledding
on dirt and mud to level this fill into the ground.
One of the greatest days of my life.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Oh man, that's awesome. It also reminded me of Bartles
and James. What what do you think Bartles and James tasted?
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Like? Oh? What? Like? What do you think the main
flavors were?
Speaker 3 (32:18):
No, I mean like, was it super sweet or was
it a wine taste?
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Like? What?
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Like? Because I never had a Bartles and James.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Before our time? Yeah, I and I think though James
had a Y in it? Right, is James the.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Y U J Y M E s is that it was?
Speaker 2 (32:37):
It was? I think so, I mean, it was definitely around.
I don't remember what the original flavor was, but the
bottles almost had the michelo shape bottle. They almost had
butt plug shaped bottles.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Yes, yes, exactly, it was a butt plug shape bottle.
And I just think about I just like, especially since
it has a WY in it, it would have been
really fun to go in and add an L after
the M in James. So it was Bartles and James
and that would have been so funny. To just add
it and leave it so people could buy it and
then just be somebody looking at it just like is
(33:13):
this say Bartles and Jameles.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Just switch at once, make it just instantly, make a
Mandela effect to be like, I think it was James.
You're like it was Bartles and James. And for those
around the world are under one hundred years of age.
There was a wine cooler company in the eighties called
Bartles and James and their commercials. I believe there was
like Ed and Frank. I think they were all guys
named Ed and Frank, and I don't remember. I guess
(33:40):
Frank Bartles ed James one of the ways. But one
guy would talk and he was just like slightly southern,
had the hat on the glasses, and then his friend
would just hold the Bartles and James and his drink
and never say a word. Yeah, And they had a
great catchphrase, which I think was Frank would say on
behalf of Ed and I we thank you for your support.
(34:03):
And they were just talking about getting drunk on Bartles
and James. Yeah. Oh, it was a sensation.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
It was a sensation and it was like, I mean
think those actors were rolling in it. From that that
was back then too. My god, the ad buys on
that ship?
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Who I know? Dreaming. I don't ever want to be
an actor, but if I was, ED just got to
sit there looking like a funny old man holding a
way cooler and getting paid in the shade like pink lemonade.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Yeah, man, man, is that a saying.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Made in the shade like pink lemonade?
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Is it really?
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Yeah? That's saying. But for ED and I ed myself,
we thank you for your support.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
Great, good, awesome.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
Now beer commercials are like running golf, Yeah, boobs, biceps beer,
and you're like, hmmm. I like when it was a dog, ye,
a skateboarding dog.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
A skateboarding dog. I like it when it's an old,
out of shape man just runk on a porch. Yes,
that I like.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Interest Jamaican band leader that would just say hooray beer, Like,
let's get back to character comedy. Come on, guys, right,
when is.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
It gonna happen? Is it that we need to be
Is it that people just don't want to laugh anymore
because everything is so dark? I don't It really does
seem fascinating that the only comedy now I love absurdism
but the only comedy now is like a non sequitor,
like that's it for like commercials and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Or a reference to something that already happened.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
Or a reference to another cultural like Milestone.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
That's the worst to me. I was at a little
screening the other night, premieer thing, and I was talking
to a producer about a different movie and he said, well,
sometimes you have to tell the audience what they want.
And I go, what do you mean? And he goes, well,
we produced Anchorman, and Anchorman got focus group tested before
(35:57):
it was released and it got like a thirty eight.
It was something in there which is bad. That's out
of a hundred.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
Oh yeah, I know it's bad.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
So out of one hundred it got a thirty eight
test group score. Went on to make tons of money
and honestly launched Will Ferrell into superstar. Them. Yep, Austin Powers,
same company got a twenty something like a twenty six,
and they were like, this is going to tank. And
then Austin Powers. There were three of them. The second
one might be the rare sequel that's better than the original.
(36:25):
And he was right, sometimes you have to tell the
audience what they like. And I think we've stopped doing
that comedy and now we just let the audience tell
us what they like, which is like YouTube challenges and
wearing big wigs, I guess, and lip syncing. People seem
to think lip syncing to other people's soundbites is just
(36:47):
peak comedy and it's really quick. It is.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
It's really really crazy. That lip thinking thing is so
it's so silly and humiliating that do you know what
I mean? Every time I it, I'm just like I
feel bad for you and this is ooh. And then
you look at like how many people have watched and
it's like four billion people. Every everyone in the world
has watched this and loves it.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Yeah. I listen to a lot of kDa out here,
ninety three point five KD. It's hip hop back in
the day in LA. It's the best hip hop station
and it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
It is. It's the La version of blazing hip hop
and R and B from New York.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Oh yeah. And for me, one of the great joys
of not being on TikTok and not having a personal
Instagram outside of the bananas is the dance. The dancer.
The dance influencers just were the one thing. I'm like,
this seems like a treadmill. You feel like Sisyphis every week.
(37:45):
You guys have to think of a new choreograph routine
and the body can only move so many ways and
that's what your audience wants. And then you collaborate with
another dancer. And I was like, this bums me out.
And then I was listening to KD and one of
the DJs was like, I like dance videos. That's what
I put on to zone out. I just watch endless
dance videos. And I was like, oh, wait a second.
I think this is because I'm a boring white guy
(38:07):
that I think this is the saddest shit. It makes
other people so happy. So I was like, maybe I
just need to shut up. Well, not like I was
really talking about, but I lack something that thrills other
people about extreme choreographed and stylized dancing. To me, me,
it depresses me. But I love to dance.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
He does love to dance, folks. He's the first one
out on the dance floor.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Damn right. But yeah, anyway, shout out to all the
dance fluencers. You'll never be on bananas, but God bless
you keep dancing. I bet it keeps your gluteous Maximus
is firm and robust.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
Also shout out to Tom everyone who's on the Instagram
treadmill it is or the TikTok treadmill. It is not
fun and it is seems to be the only way
to supset to survive, And it's brutal just to constantly
just feed content into a thing for free, into a
(39:08):
thing in hopes it's somewhere it will pay off in
some way.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
You gotta put butts in seats kirts. You want me
to do some thumbs ups?
Speaker 3 (39:19):
I do. Oh yeah, let me tease you into it, baby,
tease us into it. Murmur hikers hiker fools people into
believing he delivered pizza at to Mount Fiji.
Speaker 2 (39:32):

J and an I's right.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Haley Tanner wants to thumb her kid Beatrix way up.
Beatrix is twelve. They live in New York City. Yes,
and she's doing an amazing job in general, just being
a great kid. She was a COVID kid and you
know what it was like, Kurt, It was tough. Yes,
it's tough years on these kids, especially in New York City.
But Beatrix is doing an awesome job. She recently represented
Brooklyn in the New York City Project Soapbox competition.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
Oh hell yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
And so the kids, along with racing soapboxes, also get
to make speeches, which is fun. And Beatrix spoke against
book bands. Yeah, and between the racing and the speaking
did so well that she ended up on the main stage.
Haley says she is the best in the biz.
Speaker 3 (40:24):
Nice thumbs up.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
That's not BAM books, guys, that's for huge dorks and
losers only. Shoshana wants. Shoshana sounds a lot, sends a
lot of great stories, excuse me, including some I did
the Chicago show. Shoshana wants to thumb her husband way up.
He signed on for his fifth year teaching at the
same school. He's a rabbi and he teaches Judaic studies
(40:48):
to middle schoolers and he had tried a few different
places out but it's his current school or location that
has just been a great place that has nurtured his
talents made him more confident, and Shoshana is so proud
of him. That's nice.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
Sumbs up. And also to anybody who's looking for that
specific place, whether it be a school or community pool
or a bar, and you've been to couple and they suck,
Believe me, there is one that is just right for you.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
There's a glove for every hand, folks.

Rachel adds, sorry, it's totally vague. He's a private dude,
so it's a special super project. He's been working on
it for several years and he's making incredible progress. You
can guess at home what Danny's doing. I think he's
building a glider that goes underground.
Speaker 3 (42:03):
I love it. I love it also that it's like,
you know, I'm gonna give a thumbs up to the
person who doesn't want anything to be known about their lives.
But either way, do Danny dooty Danny the private dude

Speaker 2 (42:20):
To you, Bro. And last, but not least, let's see,

only one way to end these thumbs ups today.
Speaker 3 (42:31):
A dog who drives a car pretty close.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
Katie old Jasterer's ab or jas Oh yes, true, jast Zabe.
I think it's Katie Jaster's app And I'm so sorry
Katie that it's a tricky last name. But I love
any name with a Z in it except Zoe. That
name is weird. I love the name. So if you're
(42:58):
all Zoe's out their thumbs up, Katie is thumbing up
all the worms in her basement. All one thousand red
wrigglers worked tiresly twenty four to seven to make nutritious
compost out the kitchen scraps and shredded bank statements. Thumbs up,
one thousand thumbs up for the one thousand red wrigglers.
Speaker 3 (43:20):
Red wrigglers, I mean they It definitely seems like they're
just the basement is filled with trash and worms. But
I'm assuming it's a composting section in the basement regardless,
great place to keep it.
Speaker 2 (43:35):
And I never knew worms. Eight treaded bank statements. That's
an exciting sort of like stick it to capitalism moment.
It's a reminder we all return to the earth. It
doesn't matter how many toys you die with. It doesn't
matter how much money you have in the bank. At
the end of the day. Your worm food. All right,
KURTI b what we got, buddy boy. Here it is.
Speaker 3 (43:55):
This was sent in by Justin. Thank you, Justin.
Speaker 2 (43:58):
We love a Justin.
Speaker 3 (44:00):
This was on jack Aranda FM.
Speaker 2 (44:03):
We've actually done that one before, so I know you're
not lying to me.
Speaker 3 (44:07):
That's correct. It was written by It's actually by jack
Aranda FM. Jack Aranda FM. The whatever that is.
Speaker 2 (44:15):
It's a flower. It's a tree, right, it's a flowering tree.
It's the purple flowering trees.
Speaker 3 (44:20):
It's a purple flowering tree on the radio.
Speaker 1 (44:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, the radio wrote this.
Speaker 2 (44:28):
Here. It is.
Speaker 3 (44:29):
We've heard a lot of people going to great lengths
to ensure the customers get what they want. But we
have also seen some vile delivery drivers. True, that's true,
my goodness. Some have taken orders back because the customers
didn't tip them, while others helped themselves to their customers takeaway. No, no, no.
If you don't tip a delivery driver, I think they
(44:50):
should be allowed to take it away from you. I
think that's that's not a vile delivery driver. That is
a person reminding a prick what is? What is accurate
and correct?
Speaker 2 (45:05):
Anyway? It does a hot take that I agree with.
If you yes, order food, tip.
Speaker 3 (45:12):
Yeah, if you're in an order food, you're gonna make
someone deliver food to you on your couch. You monarch royalty,
if you're a royalty, exactly for a moment, you're gonna
be oh, butler, butler, bring me my McDonald's and then
not tip them.
Speaker 2 (45:31):
Fuck you, that's right. I got in that uber when
uber eats was a thing, and it's smell Nick McDonald's,
I go, do do uber eats? Yes, what's the thing
you deliver most McDonald's. Do you ever read the fries
every time? The driver said, every time, a delicious fries.
Speaker 3 (45:50):
But we have all because of the but we were
surprised to hear about a pizza delivery guy who traveled
six hours up a mountain to get a pizza to
a hiker. In twenty twenty two, a post of a
man dressed in a popular pizza brand uniform carrying a
pizza delivery bag up Mount Fuji. It is Mount Fuji
and written in the in the title by jack Aranda FM,
(46:12):
it says Mount Fiji.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
Yeah, they are not necessarily the fact checkers. You know,
they're not winning any spelling bees at Jackaranda dot FM.
Speaker 3 (46:22):
Recently the post resurfaced and people have been praising Domino's
Japan for their amazing service. But it seems it was
a case of misinterpretation.
Speaker 2 (46:31):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (46:32):
I feel like this was written by Ai The delivery
man quote turned out to be an office worker who
enjoys hiking while dressed in various delivery uniforms. The man
um Uma Uma Nami Futo Futashi Futoshi Uma Uma Nami
Futashi regularly dressed up in delivery uniforms while carrying delivery
(46:54):
bags filled with various equipment and necessities for his hike.
Okay Uma has previously Uma Nami has previously worn a
variety of uniforms on hikes, including those of Uber Eatsu,
Demai Cana, a Japanese delivery service, and Pizza La, Japan's
second highest grossing pizza chain after Domino's Pizza. It seems
(47:17):
Umanami enjoys immersing into the role he decides to undertake
during his hike. He sticks to the script so much
so that he managed to feed many people. We were
even taken aback by the story. We were even taken
aback taking amback.
Speaker 2 (47:32):
This is Ai. It's Ai.
Speaker 3 (47:34):
It certainly creates a good storyline for the takeaway brands
that he represents a form of free advertising, you could say,
and that's how it ends. This is one written by Ai.
Speaker 2 (47:43):
Yeah, not even good AI bad bad radio.
Speaker 3 (47:48):
At this point. At this point, AI can write stuff
and I won't be able to tell it, but Jack
rand FM.
Speaker 2 (47:54):
But the story is, the guy didn't really deliver. He
dits up the mountain.
Speaker 3 (47:58):
So he so there's a picture of him. He's got it.
He's dressed as a Domino's delivery guy. He's got a
gigantic Domino's bag on his back, and he did bring

done that. I'm so jealous of that customer. Oh. I
