it's it's a nice time when you go first. For
me at least, I love listening to you.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Yeah, you could. You could sit back and just take
a thirty second nap and I'll just I'll just dive
right In Cyclist falls down one hundred and thirty foot
Ravine survives three days by drinking wine he had in
a bag.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Well, it's time to take a trip down memory, Ravine
with a new episode of Burnt.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
World up his head? Would you believe.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Your mind? Cillion pieces?
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Would you bet?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Bat baby as Gal's non binary pounds welcome to bananas.
That across for me is noted in acclaimed screenwriter Scottie Landis.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Well, that is so kind of you to say, and
sit across from me is the one and only currently
employed writer Kurt Brown Older. And that must feel good
in a town where there's Oh, my dog's barking at me. Yay,
look at this, that's never happened on that.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Say hi, say hi, come on, yeah, the people want
to chaun see Chauncey, chaun see.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Kurtz for a moment, Go upstairs, friend, go go find
greener pastures.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Good boy, Okay, you're talking to somebody, and he was
just like, hey.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
There's an intruder. I know he's probably going to start
attacking somebody that's kicking in my front door. No, just
being a you know, there's probably a person in a well,
which is the joke that everybody makes when I walk
Chauncey by, they say, oh, it's Lassie. Is somebody in
a well? And I say, there, classic, it's a classic.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Lassie. Shouldn't have gotten a classic glass if you want
that joke, pal.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I looked up the ten dog breeds that were the
most popular in the last one hundred years in America.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
After that in a well, you looked up the dead
best dogs from from a well, and you got a
well out back.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I got a yeah. I started digging a well as
soon as I got a college. I'm like, we're gonna
have somebody falled in there. And Collies were only the
number one dogs for like the decade that Lassie was
on TV, so the fifties and sixties or the movies.
I guess Lassie Come Home, but it was cocker spaniels
wildly popular for a very long time in America.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Which Spaniels.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I didn't see that one coming at all.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I can see that.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
And then briefly when the Peanuts Gang came out, beagles
because of Snoopy and beagles are not the easiest dog.
They're actually kind of a They're difficult dog, are they really?
They're a little stubborn, I think, and they.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
But beg is like, is a beagle a type of
a hound?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I believe it is a type?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Oh okay, great?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Great?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Also really interesting that, like Snoopy does not look like
a like a dog, beagle is a complete like just
drawing of an animal, like it could be any animal.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Really, I agree, Yeah, it doesn't look doesn't have the coloring.
It's just an all white dog and has a black
nose and maybe black ears. I don't even know if
it does black ears, but it was fascinating. And then
German shepherds after World War Two because someone they got
so used to having them around. They were popular for
a while, and you.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Would think it would be the opposite. Yeah, I think
after World War Two you'd be like, you know what,
I'm not gonna have the the dog that was guarding
me in the Pow camp.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I'm not gonna have that dog. Yeah, the constant reminder
of the horrors of war chewing my slippers at the
end of My lazy boy bad idea. But now it's
a tie and it goes back and forth between golden
retrievers and labradors. Spell both retrievers, both great labs are
great dogs, Goldens are great dogs.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
They're both retrievers, right, yeah, yeah, but I prefer a
mummu I got I got a mud. My mud is
at the uh it's at the age of life where
just fatty deposits start growing all over me too, and
(04:30):
it is it's tough because they just don't stop growing.
They just become larger and larger. And there's no we're
not there's no surgery. I mean like the surgery will
be so invasive to do, so you're just like, all right,
all right, this is can we can we like stop
feeding this part of the dog just really gets just
(04:52):
one on her hip that's just so gigantic. It's like,
my god, I hope she's not. She doesn't seem like
she's in pain in any way, shape or form. Seems
like she just has one gigantic hip.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I saw a giant snowflake rise up behind you on
the building behind you is the Rockefeller Christmas Tree up yet?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah? Wait, let me see if it's right?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Is it? There was a projected giant green snowflake that
went won the building.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I can see it from here. Hold on, let me,
I'll take you with me.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Okay, this is thrilling. We're looking kurt Is at thirty
Rockefeller Center. We're looking down. I can't see it yet. Oh,
I can't see it yet, but this is now. I'm gasping.
It's a nice clear night in New York City. I
will say that. There she blows. So I see scaffolding,
and I see the ice rink. People are ice skating,
(05:40):
But I don't see that big old famous tree. It's
inside the scaffolding. Ban animals.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, so that's how they get that's how they get
the ornaments on it. They just build this incredibly ugly.
Of course, it's New York City. They're gonna do with
scaffolding everything.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
John Wilson week.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
What is city tremol is the scaffolding and so yeah,
so the whole tree is you cannot see it. It
is just covered in I don't know, probably like eight
stories of scaffolding it's really really crazy.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
But guess what tell me everything I just.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Found like they just just I think yesterday, like a
little memo was sent out to the office. It's like,
if you would like to come watch the Macy's Thanksgiving
Day parade from our office, you can, And so I
signed my family up and so on Thanksgiving, we're gonna come.
I got and like literally it goes right down sixth Avenue.
We're right on sixth Avenue. We're like right up you know,
(06:37):
sixth floor, and just like a perfect view wow of
like a giant Charlie brown head floating.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
By and not freezing cold or or weather of any sort.
That's that is such a victory.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Good Literally take the subway into the basement and then
just walk and then go to an elevator.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
That's a good point too. You don't even have to
deal with the riff raft. You don't have to even
get out there with the pedestrians the proletariat.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
In the subway the whole time. So it's just gonna
be I mean, that's crazy, right, That's what I was like.
This is Look, I would prefer to be home for
all of Thanksgiving, but like there's this is a once
in a lifetime opportunity. There's no way I'm at this
job in a year.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
But also, your kids are the perfect age to still
remember it and have some awe and some wonder and
then they'll talk, they'll tell that story when they have
a podcast for the rest of their life.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Exactly Once I saw Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade from the
Tonight Show offices, and people like, what's the Tonight Show?
Be Like, it's a television show? What was a television show?
It was a talk show. It was like, what's that?
It's like a podcast but it was on TV.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
What's TV?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Oh, it's a box that people would watch like a phone.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
No, it was on the wall like a bit. Yeah, yeah,
that's coming quick. Speaking of that, should I dive into
this story? It's such a fun one. M This was
sentenced by Dave Dave. When I screenshoted your DM to
(08:09):
the Bananas podcast on Instagram, all I saw is it
said balls Dave, So we're going with balls. Dave sent
this in And if the back half of that is
like you know, poet Laureate, I'm sorry. All I saw
was Ball's Dave Cyclist falls down one hundred and thirty
(08:30):
foot ravine in France survives three days by drinking wine
he had any shopping bag. This was on CBS News,
written by that swing in CBS News staff. It makes
more sense as I say this, that he's a French
cyclist just right away makes it's just better. A French chap.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Makes it better in the fact that he had that
much wine in a bag on him.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Yes, you know, yep, sure, it's pretty incredible. And wait
till you hear how old this guy was. You're going
to flip your lip.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
You'm ready.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
French cyclists survived for three days after horrendous one hundred
and thirty foot fall into a ravine.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
And he kepteen stories folks he.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Ran the numbers kept alive by the bottles of red
wine that he had in his shopping bag. Police said
the seventy seven year old missed a bend on his
bicycle on a way home from the supermarket on a
lonely road in the mountainous Savennis region, careening down a
rocky slope and into a ravine near Sant Julien des Point.
(09:35):
Unable to climb out, the man tried to shout every
time a vehicle passed, but no one heard his cries
how tragic is that?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
As the hours turned into days, he was sustained by
the bottles of wine he was taking home, Babby, rescuer said. Finally,
passing road workers heard him yelling and spotted the twisted
bike frame below. A helicopter airlifted him to a hospital,
with rescue doctor Laurent Savath calling his survival quote a
(10:07):
miracle given the cold in the rain, with almost nothing
to eat or drink. End quote other than red wine.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
I love it. Honestly, red wine should be picking this up.
I don't know if there's like a got Milk campaign
for red wine in France, but there should be, and
he should be.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
The poster child for it.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Yeah, in the outside after falling thirteen stories.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
An all seventies seven years young too, that's no spring chicken.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
And also so it's not a bagged wine it is.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
It is a bag of bottles of wine.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah, that's amazing that he had multiple bottles in his bag.
I love it.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I love he had a big weekend planned and boy,
just there must be a point too where you get
a little drunk. You know, you're like, I gotta survive.
I need these calories I need hydration. And then you're
three quarters of a bottle of wine and then you're like, well,
this an't that bad ravine. This ravine is pretty spacious.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
That the tough part would be you don't know when
you're getting.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Rescued, right, that's right.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
So it's like, oh, boy, like you go through the
first bottle pretty quickly. Let's be honest, you're in the
bottom of a ravine. You know, it's getting dark, no
one's gonna hear you. You gotta sleep. You're gonna drink
that bottle of wine, go to bed. But then after that,
do you how do you decide how much to have?
You know, god, you must have been dehydrated.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Do you eat the cork?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I don't know. I feel like I would be worried
that it would make me vomit, oh, you know, or
cause me like intestinal distress, because I think that's what
you're really in danger of in those situations. Yeah, is
like eating something or drinking something that makes you have
diarrhea or vomit and then you're you're dead essentially.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Do you do you suck on the cork for nutrition?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Where do you think the cork has Nutrition's cutty? I'm
just saying, I says, where we find out that Scott
he does not know what a quirk is.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Yeah, that I've never heard. I just read the word
and I'm like, yeah, I'm aware of this. Well, I'm
just saying, you know, there's a little wine on the
bottom of that cork. If you're starving for three days,
the first thing I would eat would probably be the cork.
I don't know. Maybe I mean, daddy's got to eat.
(12:27):
That's what I'm saying. Doctor Laurence Avad said he is
a really tough man. He fell into a stream several
times trying to scramble back up, so was that a
risk of hypothermia? Again, rub some cork on it. The
cyclist ultimately escaped his predicament with minor injuries and mildthermia.
According to French outlet Entrevus, this isn't the first time
(12:51):
a person has endured harsh conditions with a bottle of wine.
Oh I'm not. I mean yeah, maybe millions and millions
people historically have had harsh conditions in bottle of wine.
In twenty twenty three, a woman who went missing for
five days in the Australian bushland was found alive after
surviving for five days on lollipops and wine.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Wow, how many lollypops was she traveling with?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I know the forty eight year old woman was finally
located in dense bushland after she took a wrong turn,
ended up on a dead end road and got her
car stuck in mud. Pretty incredible, and she lived on
lollipops and wine. Lollipops, Kurt, you're you know, like for
our younger listeners, part of being an adult is you're
always carrying at least two lollipops at all time. Wallet
(13:45):
keys I.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Have, especially in the trunk. You know, you have your
spare and you have a bag of lollipops and a
bottle of wine.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
It's funny that in our childhoods it does feel like
we're from the eighteen fifties, because I remember when teachers
would give us dumb dumbs as a tree, dumb dumb lollipops,
and it was like it was like the skies had
opened and jowed himself lowered down and said here take
this morsel.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
You'll be glad to hear Scotty that dumb dums are
still very much a currency childhood experiences. They're everywhere everywhere
still have dumb dums. Dum dums have probably been around
since the fucking fifties.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Yeah, who knows who.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Makes dumb dums? Do you know what I mean? Like,
what company is making so much money for so long
off these dumb dums.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Dude, they're good too.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I like multiple flavors.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I think it's a perfect size. The fact that has
a mystery flavor is crazy. There's no other candy. That's
just like, who gives a shit?
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Eat it? That's right, dumb dumbs? Dumb dums do? I mean?
There were and then there were the kids that would
try to keep it till the very end of the day,
like just keep it in their mouth as long as possible.
There were kids that would eat it immediately. There were
kids that would lick it into a spear. They would
make a point out of their dumb dumb into the
poke people with it. The point is is, I'm glad
dumb dumbs are still around, and I hope jolly ranchers
(15:08):
are still strutting their tail feathers too.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
They are, but now they come in a gigantic bag,
like you have to buy a big bag of them,
and you're just like I don't know. I guess that's
how you always bought jolly ranchers, but they're now supposed
to be like consumed quickly, seemingly.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
So this story reminds me a story, and I was
actually going to tell this story at Banana's fest. But yes,
it means.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
It's a good one. That means it's a good one, folks.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
So when I'm I think I was probably fifteen or
sixteen years old, I was very into mountain biking. I
was racing mountain bikes. I was working on a bike shop.
It was a big part of my personality. And where
I lived there was this National Guard base that hadn't
really been developed, so it was, I don't know, a
couple hundred acres of woods and lakes and ponds and
rivers and stuff. It was great. Yeah, And I had
caught wind through my neighbor Laney, who's great coal that
(15:56):
a girl that I really had a crush on, and
her best friend were go They heard about the second pond,
which is the smaller pond, and they were going to
go swimming. So I was like, you know what I'm
gonna do. I'm going to ride my bike by there,
just acting like I didn't know they were there, just acting,
you know, just it's close to my house, just being
(16:17):
a cool dude. No helmet, no helmet that day, just
in the woods, just putting in reps. But to add
to the you know, anythink can happen in the world
of fifteen or sixteen year old Scotti, my other neighbor
who at the time we had used to be best friends.
We had grown a part at this point. But my
buddy Kyle and I had this plant and it was
(16:40):
in our it was in his neighbor's yard, and we
realized one night when we were goofing off that we
just pulled up on this plant and the whole thing
came out of the ground. So we would stash he
would stash drugs. Wow. But then we would put zemas
under there. We would put we could fireworks, we would
hide under there, and then you put the whole play
back down and put mulch over it. And it was
(17:02):
basically like what a root seller, but just for illegal things.
So before I cut into the woods and ride, it's
a deep roadcrid. It's like this was gonna be about
forty minutes of pedaling through the woods. They're jails and stuff,
But I knew where it was. I've been swimming there.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
And it's a swimming hole. It's just like off a lake,
a river.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
So cool question it was. And I know with every
detail you're going to say this is impossible. But there
was a dam built, a concrete dam that was built
alongside a chemistry lab. And so it was a pond
I would say, maybe as big as a racquetball court,
(17:46):
and it was very deep and we used to fish
in it, but you could also jump off the dam
part of it.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
A racketball court. Yeah, that's not big.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
It wasn't very big. This was the smaller, like fishing
hole size place, but there was. Yeah, it's right.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Next to a like a chemical processing plant.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
No, just a kept. There was a school there, a
school for bad girls called Mantros and.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
In detail it continues to get better.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yeah, And so they had a chemistry lab there with
like you know, Florence flass and earlimine flass and all
those things, and they still had things that said like
hydrochloric acid and sodium and all this stuff. And so
we would throw all those down this thing and break
them because we're children, so pretty far run. So I
ride up first to our root seller stash box basically
(18:37):
lifted up. I'm not going to take drugs. I didn't.
I'm not even hurt. I wasn't a drug guy. No
fireworks thought about it. But what we did find was
there was some down home punches, Jack Daniels. Down home punches,
remember those they were They're pink, and they were like
eight or ten ounce bottles, and they were like malt liquor.
(18:58):
They were basically a way for children to be introduced
to alcohol. Yeah, and they worked, and they were also delicious,
and back.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Then you never threw one up. You would never have
one again, bingo.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
And so I found a little four pack of those.
I put him in my messenger bag and then I
just start I'll just take it a nice, normal ride
with no ulterior motives. Guys, I'm not trying to see
here with a four pack of what's it called down
home punch, Down Daniels.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I was just gonna drink this by myself out here
by the lake and smash some bottles. But now that
you're here, huh.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
This soil temperature down home punch that I just dug
up from a neighbor's yard who doesn't know that he's
a drug dealer, a grown man that doesn't know that
he's dealing drugs.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Hey, you guys aren't bad girls, are you? Because there's
a school for that.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Yeah, because you're on campus for Manto School for Bad Girls.
So yeah, I'm this is and looking back, this is
pre all social media. I mean I had a gateway
computer or something. I don't know, but yes, the concept
of seeing the girl you had a crush on in
her friend in a swimsuit was enough to make you ride. Yeah,
(20:07):
you think forty minutes I would have ridden to Nebraska. Like.
I was like, let's do it. So I started riding
and I'm getting close. Yeah, And there's sort of this
long sweeping hill down to this tree line, and then
along that tree line there's just a normal path that
goes to where this pond is, the watering hole and
all that stuff. And I see two women coming out.
(20:29):
So I'm like, farts, I missed. I missed my window
to catch them laying out in swimsuits and riding up
and being like, what's up? You guys? Like down home
punch by chance? Because I have four of them that
have been cooking against my sweaty back for the last
forty five minutes. So I hustle to go faster. And
I've ridden this area many times, and there is a
(20:50):
loading ramp that was built by the military for I
don't know, loading stuff on the dump trucks or whatever
they do steak bits. So I gun it and I
jump off that and I just simply land so hard
that I flipped forward. But I had clipless pedals, the
kind were your shoes click into the wheels.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Yeah, so oh no, it came with you.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yes, So I do a front tuck and then I
like tray bouchet the bicycle with my feet and throw
this bike honestly forty five feet. I just throw it
down a hill towards these women. They're still pretty far away.
And then I hear, you know.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Did you land on concrete or dirt?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
No, I laid it on grass, but it was glass,
It was swoped. It was going away from me, and
I just miss time the jump, like I just didn't
pull up soon enough and threw my bike.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
If it's like going down a hill, you're actually falling farther,
that's right to anticipate.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Yes, So did I yell something to get their attention
before doing it? Yes I did. I don't recall what
I did, but I did shout something. And so when
I land yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Oh wait, you got the bottles in your bag?
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Bingo. So I landed on my back and I thought
I had broken my back again. Wasn't wearing a helmet
to be cool for the babes? Yep? And then I
wiggle my tails, move my legs. And also it should
be noted I crashed at that same place another time
had destroyed my bike, but this time bike was fine.
Just got thrown forty five feet towards two girls walking
(22:33):
out of the woods, and so I kind of make
sure I'm not paralyzed. And when I sit up, I
hear are you okay? Oh my god, are you okay? Like,
don't move, don't move, And I sit up and it's
not those girls. It is two women that I've never
met or seen or seen since, grown women, adult women.
I'm sixteen or fifteen year old. And so from their
(22:54):
point of view, they saw the skinniest white boy you've
ever seen in your life, say something like check this,
sud Or probably yelled Jumanji, That's something I used to yell.
Then wreck so hard and throw hit their bike with
their feet at these two women. Then as I stand
up to play a cool realizing it's not the two
(23:15):
girls that I wanted to see, who, by the way,
weren't there that day. So all of this was a
fool's errand of hearsay that those two were gonna be
sunbathing and swimming and then I should go check them out.
And so these women come up, and as they're coming up,
just pink fluid is just leaking out of my messenger
bag by Tim buck du Pike. So it looks like
I'm like pissing my pants or peeing blood because the
(23:37):
down home punches are just leaking through all the y. Yeah,
of course I thought I'm going like thirty miles an hour.
So I meet them at my bike and I'm like,
I'm okay, I'm all right. And they're like, oh, are
you like? This is really bad? And they're like do
you want to ride? And I'm like, I have this bike,
I kid, I'm fine. And so what ended up happening
(23:59):
is I just ended up going seeing that the girls
weren't there the intended audience, convincing these two women I
wasn't paralyzed or bleeding out my back and bike shorts
and stuff, and so I had to go swimming just
to get all the sticky crap off of me. And
so then I just rode a bicycle wet home just
(24:19):
stone cull sober. Couldn't have been a bigger loser if
I had to do it. And when I told the girls,
they were like, oh, that would have been awesome, Like
that would have been so my goal was going to
be the greatest moment in all of our high school lives.
But instead I just showed two women what an idiot
(24:41):
looks like, threw a bicycle at them, and then bled
out my back for thirty two ounces.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Oh my god, that's amazing, you know what. It is
so fascinating too because I have weirdly parallel story when
I was twelve, I was in sixth grade. I was twelve,
and I would ride my bike from Neptune to ave
(25:08):
On by the Sea and h ave On had I
believe it was my first girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Okay, and like down home Potch.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I was riding to see Carrie, and I was riding
along Route thirty five in Neptune, New Jersey, and I
just went to go up on. There was like a
you know, the curb came down so that you like,
cars could drive into a parking lot, and I went
(25:41):
to just drive into that, but for some reason, my
bike got my bike wheel got caught on the lip
of the edge of it, and just I just flipped
flipped off, landed on my face. Ooh, not good, and
like it was my upper lip and then down below
just like just the skin off, you know, And then
(26:06):
and then did not turn around. I should have turned
around and gone home, but I was so excited to
go see Carrie that I continued riding to her house
showing up just pouring, and her parents weren't around, but
like she had an older sister who I remember her
going and like getting tailan all for me, but I
(26:28):
couldn't open my mouth enough to swallow tailand all.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
So then their idea was they crushed it up and
then mixed it with water.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Oh boy.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
And then I tried to drink it, and then it
just poured all over my open wound and tilan all
crushed up in water poisons. It burned so badly on
an open wound. Then I finally had to call my
mom and she came pick me up. She's like, why
didn't you come home when that happened? And I was like,
(27:00):
oh farther than halfway?
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Good? Look, yes boy, logic. Also, you were trying to
prove how far you would go for this person's live
like I were slate dragons.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yeah exactly, But man, that is that is as a
coming of age story for both of us.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Scottie, we did and in both instances we did not
get the girl. So the real lesson is, you know,
stay home, look at your phones. What you guys are
up to. It is way cooler. Don't have any of
these outward adventures on bicycles trying to see women that
you were not going to impress to begin with. All right,
but it does make me want to order some down
(27:40):
home punches.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Oh hell yeah. I mean there's no way they exist.
You'd have to buy them on eBay and they'd be
like that old Here it is world's biggest spider web
discovered inside soul Fur Cave with one hundred and eleven
thousand racknids living in pitch blackness.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
This is on LiveScience dot com. This y Sasha Pear,
who a lot of people say is the best in
the biz. This thing looks razy. It I've never seen
anything like it in my life. I'm not gonna post it,
but you guys can go and look. The video of
(28:26):
it is honestly mesmerizing. It looks like a wall of
a cave and then they like touch it, and the
whole thing for hundreds of feet going up in every direction,
just like wiggles. The whole thing is like hundreds and
hundreds of layers of spiderwebs that have just been being
(28:47):
built for right, I don't know, maybe a thousand years,
and like on top of each other and on top
of each other, and on top of each other and
on top of each other. Yes, and it's in pitch blackness.
I mean, like, yeah, is this nightmare.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Fuel? Remember in twenty twenty everybody said fuel marifuel.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
It was nightmare fuel And oh my god, I'm gonna
throw up in my mouth. That was twenty twelve.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Yeah, we got a lot of that.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Researchers have discovered more than one hundred and eleven thousand
spiders thriving in what appairs to be the world's biggest
spider web, deep inside a pitch black cave on the
Albanian Greek border. The extraordinary. Yeah, no shit, colony consists
of a colossal web and a permanently dark zone of
the cavern. According to a study, the web stretches one
thousand and forty square feet along all of a narrow,
(29:40):
low ceiling passageway near the entrance of the cave. It's
a patchwork of thousands of individual funnel shaped webs. The
researchers noted this is the first evidence of colonial colonial yeah,
I guess so, for colony colonial behavior and two common
spider species, and likely represents the largest spider web in
the world. The natural world still holds countless surprise for us,
(30:04):
who Rack told Live Science in an email. If I
were to attempt to put into wards all the emotions
that surged through me when I saw the web, I
would highlight admiration, inspect and gratitude. You have to experience
it to truly know what it feels like. The spider
mega City is located in Sulfur Cave, A great name
(30:25):
a cavern that was Sulfur Cave already an unpleasant names.
There's one hundred and eleven thousand spiders inside.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Hey, baby, you want to drink these down home punches
with me and your friend? In Sulfur cave what could
be down there?
Speaker 2 (30:44):
It was hollowed out by sulfuric acid form from oxidization
of hydrogen sulfide and groundwater. While the researchers revealed tantalizing
new information. Blah blah blah blah, where is the thing? Okay,
so these are this is another thing about these So
the two there's two separate spider species that live there,
(31:07):
and they aren't. They've never been shown to be friends,
so they are everywhere else they exist, they're enemies to
each other, and they like coexist and live together here.
Also normally like spiders hate other spiders and like eat
other spiders and kill other spiders, okay, and they like
live off on their own as huntresses. And instead this
(31:30):
is like the only example of them like working together
in this way in this giant megacity. But the reason
I wanted to do it was just like you think
that like it, especially in life, you think that you
because we get used to routine, you think that you're
pretty much assured of like that you kind of know
(31:52):
what to expect in the world, Like you know what's common.
You know you're not you're not expecting to be surprised.
It feels like everything's kind of been discovered already, other
than the dark Deep, because the dark Deep there's nothing
we don't know anything about it. Nope, But just to
sh'll like things. There's still things in the world that
(32:15):
you could never possibly imagine. And that is true for
your life as well. Even though it may seem that
things are just going the same way all the time,
A second could change everything and just just be just
be open to the possibility of change and also appreciate
(32:35):
the moments that might seem normally boring. And I agree
when it will change on a second.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
But I think that's true. There's always more than meets
the eye. There's always more going on than what you think.
There's a big old world out there, and I wouldn't
want to paint it, but that is so cool. That's
such an interesting area too. When you're in Greece in
the the rent boats that are like, do not take
this boat to Albania, whatever you do, And boy, doesn't
(33:05):
that just make you want to take that boat immediately
to Albania.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah, give me some shout outs, baby.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Oh, I got some thumbs up. Chantelle wants to thumb
her friend Katie up. Katie made Chantale up bananimal, and
she's the first to cheer anyone up. Yes, but Katie
was treated terribly at a job interview last week. So
Chantelle is saying thumbs up to Katie for being the best,
a supportive friend and a ray of sunshine. And f
(33:33):
you to the company who turned her down. Yeah, both
a thumbs up and an f you. Hell Yeah, Okay,
this one's really interesting. So Been Animals, Kurtie B and
I we are We are in no way licensed in
any way, shape or form for anything medical. Uh So
(33:55):
just think about that as I read this. This is
Tanya wants to thumb herself way up. And Tanya were
thumbing you up too. After six years and dozens of
antidepressants from four different classes of antidepressants and the worst
month of depression that Tanya ever had, she decided to
take care of her own mind and looked into treatment
(34:17):
resistant depression therapies. None of our doctors, psychiatrists, or psychologists
thought she had a certain variant of depression, so it
was up to Tanya to figure this one out for herself.
And she wants us to say, Been animals, who may
be suffering from depression. If you've tried more than four
types of antidepressants and you haven't, and you may have
(34:39):
treatment resistant depression. So look for therapies that target brains
like ours and do not suffer in silence.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Yeah, good, awesome. It feels medical stuff can feel so overwhelming,
especially when a doctor says I don't know you know,
and that happens so often.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
That's right. So maybe if you've tried many things, like
to look into treatment resistant depression, maybe that's a new
area for you to find some peace. And last, but
not least, Pillar cp oh, let me see how I
would say this. I think it's Caperda, Pilar. Caperda wants
(35:18):
to thumb up the Banana Boys. Pilar just listens to
the I Will Not Hide My Boat episode where Scotty
said he was called weird his entire life and now
he writes what he thinks is cool and what other
people still might think is weird, and he has an
awesome career. Thank you, Pilar, that's very kind of you.
Pilar says, I was called weird my whole childhood too,
(35:38):
and as I get older, I get bolder, and I've
been letting my authentic side out more. And it's nice
to know there are others out there, and thumbs up
to Kurtie b for saying that being weird might not
fit in one place, but it can be your strong
suit in another.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
All Right, I don't remember that episode, Pilar, but I'm
happy we said those things.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
And I agree. I agree with that also, I be
part of being in the arts.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
I'm just remembering that I knew a polar and she
was weird as well. Good here's to the weirdos man,
toast to the weirdos. I know without your life is
so much more boring.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
Oh my gosh, it just it's just a nice push
to go check out the rest of the world being
called weird. I still get called weird all the time.
But the people that call me weird are also the
ones that five years later call me for advice about
something because they're so bored, and I go, yeah, I know, Last,
but not least, here's a nice one. Melanie Scott wants
(36:38):
the thumb up her daughter Josephine, along with her role
as wife and mother. This year, she's succurred her dream
job as deputy coroner. In true Banana's fashion, she has
passionately embraced her new position and the community she serves.
Joe genuinely enjoys helping people. Her position affords her an
opportunity to help in a way that few are able to.
(37:00):
She's the best in the biz. So thumbs up to you,
Josephine from your wonderful mother Melanie.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
Yay, that's great. Good that those were some great thumbs
up Scottie Nice.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
I loved him. Keep sending them in the Bananz Podcast
at gmail dot com or at the Bonanz Podcast on
Instagram and we will respond.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Uh one to send us home. Just give us the
title of this one, baby.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Hmm hmm. Okay, Okay, I can do that. I can
do that. This one was sentenced by Crystal, and Crystal
will do this on a future episode. So don't feel
like you're you're left out in the cold.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
No, we'll start with it.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Left out in the cold with a garden gnome. He
thought his garden gnomes were being stolen, but then they
were returned in better shape than ever.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
No, okay, now we have to know a little more.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Okay. Philip Drost, CBC Radio, Best in the Beeswax. That
guy is good at gnome typing. Seriously. Kelly Blair, which
is a man, Kelly Blair thought he would never see
his garden nomes again. Two women's names. Kelly Blair, Yes,
straight as an arrow. This guy, oh hell.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
Yeah, he's got a bunch of garden homes.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
I thought he would never see his garden noomes again.
They disappeared from his yard in Kellowne, Kelowna, an old Coloonna,
British Columbia, not long after he hosted a yard sale
last month. But last week he got a knock on
the door from a lovely older lady who handed him
a note. The envelope said homeowner on the front, and
inside was a photo copy cutout of a gnome on
(38:35):
the back, and it said the Gnome Restoration Society. And
that was it, as Blair told As It Happens host
Peter Armstrong, and then he asked the lady what's up.
The lady asked him to follow her to her car.
She had obviously no threatening manner about her, so of
course I followed her to her car. They're sitting in
the trunk of her sedan were his garden nomes. All
(38:55):
of a sudden, there's a huge splash of color and
all my gnomes are back. In fact, there were two
more and we're taking oops. He was actually planning to
give the numbs away as part of an effort to
declutter ahead of a move. Blair said he only discovered
the disappearance when he went to his backyard two weeks
ago to snap some photos of them. When he went
out there, there was only one lonely guarden nome left.
(39:16):
At first, he thought nothing of it. His canoe and
his tools had been stolen following a stolen following a
garage tail a few weeks earlier. What's going on.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
With his canoe stolen? Oh no, what's he gonna do?
Speaker 1 (39:29):
What's he gonna can do? But anyways, so they brought
these back and Blair said he's impressed with the quality
of the work over his made over gnome gang, adding
the eye for detail is incredible. The big guy with
the pipe kirt they mature as ash was in the
pipe and it was a great tone.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
So basically, he didn't sleuth out or asked this lady
many questions, but she did give a small clue. The
woman said they were mostly retired people who did this
and wished to remain anonymous.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Yeah, because they're stealing gnomes.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
But anyways, there was never any ill intent, and there
is a secret gnome restoration society. Whoever you are, wherever
you are. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
You know what. Straight up? First off, I love this
community that has enough gnomes to warrant a gnome restoration. Yes, society. Also,
this only happens in Canada, just Canadians, just so you
know you got some special going on, all right, Yeah,
this is not happening in the other parts of the
world that people are doing this. This is just for
(40:35):
you and I really apprec That's why I love Canada.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
I know. And you know, if you have a really
nice yurt, Kurt and I might need to move in
there depending on how things go. So Canadians with great
yurts just keep the Banana Boys in mind. We're clean,
we're polite.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
And that's where you want to live in Canada in
a ur. I do know. I had a friend who
lived in Upstate New York in a yurt for twenty
five years, so but I think it was rough in
those I think it was pretty rough.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
YEA.
Speaker 2 (41:08):

Ravine survives three days by drinking wine he had in
a bag.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Well, it's time to take a trip down memory, Ravine
with a new episode of Burnt.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
World up his head? Would you believe.

Your mind? Cillion pieces?
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Would you bet?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Bat baby as Gal's non binary pounds welcome to bananas.
That across for me is noted in acclaimed screenwriter Scottie Landis.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Well, that is so kind of you to say, and
sit across from me is the one and only currently
employed writer Kurt Brown Older. And that must feel good
in a town where there's Oh, my dog's barking at me. Yay,
look at this, that's never happened on that.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Say hi, say hi, come on, yeah, the people want
to chaun see Chauncey, chaun see.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Kurtz for a moment, Go upstairs, friend, go go find
greener pastures.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Good boy, Okay, you're talking to somebody, and he was
just like, hey.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
There's an intruder. I know he's probably going to start
attacking somebody that's kicking in my front door. No, just
being a you know, there's probably a person in a well,
which is the joke that everybody makes when I walk
Chauncey by, they say, oh, it's Lassie. Is somebody in
a well? And I say, there, classic, it's a classic.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Lassie. Shouldn't have gotten a classic glass if you want
that joke, pal.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I looked up the ten dog breeds that were the
most popular in the last one hundred years in America.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
After that in a well, you looked up the dead
best dogs from from a well, and you got a
well out back.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I got a yeah. I started digging a well as
soon as I got a college. I'm like, we're gonna
have somebody falled in there. And Collies were only the
number one dogs for like the decade that Lassie was
on TV, so the fifties and sixties or the movies.
I guess Lassie Come Home, but it was cocker spaniels
wildly popular for a very long time in America.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Which Spaniels.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I didn't see that one coming at all.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I can see that.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
And then briefly when the Peanuts Gang came out, beagles
because of Snoopy and beagles are not the easiest dog.
They're actually kind of a They're difficult dog, are they really?
They're a little stubborn, I think, and they.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
But beg is like, is a beagle a type of
a hound?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I believe it is a type?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Oh okay, great?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Great?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Also really interesting that, like Snoopy does not look like
a like a dog, beagle is a complete like just
drawing of an animal, like it could be any animal.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Really, I agree, Yeah, it doesn't look doesn't have the coloring.
It's just an all white dog and has a black
nose and maybe black ears. I don't even know if
it does black ears, but it was fascinating. And then
German shepherds after World War Two because someone they got
so used to having them around. They were popular for
a while, and you.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Would think it would be the opposite. Yeah, I think
after World War Two you'd be like, you know what,
I'm not gonna have the the dog that was guarding
me in the Pow camp.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I'm not gonna have that dog. Yeah, the constant reminder
of the horrors of war chewing my slippers at the
end of My lazy boy bad idea. But now it's
a tie and it goes back and forth between golden
retrievers and labradors. Spell both retrievers, both great labs are
great dogs, Goldens are great dogs.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
They're both retrievers, right, yeah, yeah, but I prefer a
mummu I got I got a mud. My mud is
at the uh it's at the age of life where
just fatty deposits start growing all over me too, and
(04:30):
it is it's tough because they just don't stop growing.
They just become larger and larger. And there's no we're
not there's no surgery. I mean like the surgery will
be so invasive to do, so you're just like, all right,
all right, this is can we can we like stop
feeding this part of the dog just really gets just
(04:52):
one on her hip that's just so gigantic. It's like,
my god, I hope she's not. She doesn't seem like
she's in pain in any way, shape or form. Seems
like she just has one gigantic hip.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I saw a giant snowflake rise up behind you on
the building behind you is the Rockefeller Christmas Tree up yet?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah? Wait, let me see if it's right?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Is it? There was a projected giant green snowflake that
went won the building.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I can see it from here. Hold on, let me,
I'll take you with me.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Okay, this is thrilling. We're looking kurt Is at thirty
Rockefeller Center. We're looking down. I can't see it yet. Oh,
I can't see it yet, but this is now. I'm gasping.
It's a nice clear night in New York City. I
will say that. There she blows. So I see scaffolding,
and I see the ice rink. People are ice skating,
(05:40):
But I don't see that big old famous tree. It's
inside the scaffolding. Ban animals.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, so that's how they get that's how they get
the ornaments on it. They just build this incredibly ugly.
Of course, it's New York City. They're gonna do with
scaffolding everything.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
John Wilson week.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
What is city tremol is the scaffolding and so yeah,
so the whole tree is you cannot see it. It
is just covered in I don't know, probably like eight
stories of scaffolding it's really really crazy.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
But guess what tell me everything I just.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Found like they just just I think yesterday, like a
little memo was sent out to the office. It's like,
if you would like to come watch the Macy's Thanksgiving
Day parade from our office, you can, And so I
signed my family up and so on Thanksgiving, we're gonna come.
I got and like literally it goes right down sixth Avenue.
We're right on sixth Avenue. We're like right up you know,
(06:37):
sixth floor, and just like a perfect view wow of
like a giant Charlie brown head floating.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
By and not freezing cold or or weather of any sort.
That's that is such a victory.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Good Literally take the subway into the basement and then
just walk and then go to an elevator.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
That's a good point too. You don't even have to
deal with the riff raft. You don't have to even
get out there with the pedestrians the proletariat.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
In the subway the whole time. So it's just gonna
be I mean, that's crazy, right, That's what I was like.
This is Look, I would prefer to be home for
all of Thanksgiving, but like there's this is a once
in a lifetime opportunity. There's no way I'm at this
job in a year.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
But also, your kids are the perfect age to still
remember it and have some awe and some wonder and
then they'll talk, they'll tell that story when they have
a podcast for the rest of their life.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Exactly Once I saw Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade from the
Tonight Show offices, and people like, what's the Tonight Show?
Be Like, it's a television show? What was a television show?
It was a talk show. It was like, what's that?
It's like a podcast but it was on TV.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
What's TV?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Oh, it's a box that people would watch like a phone.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
No, it was on the wall like a bit. Yeah, yeah,
that's coming quick. Speaking of that, should I dive into
this story? It's such a fun one. M This was
sentenced by Dave Dave. When I screenshoted your DM to
(08:09):
the Bananas podcast on Instagram, all I saw is it
said balls Dave, So we're going with balls. Dave sent
this in And if the back half of that is
like you know, poet Laureate, I'm sorry. All I saw
was Ball's Dave Cyclist falls down one hundred and thirty
(08:30):
foot ravine in France survives three days by drinking wine
he had any shopping bag. This was on CBS News,
written by that swing in CBS News staff. It makes
more sense as I say this, that he's a French
cyclist just right away makes it's just better. A French chap.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Makes it better in the fact that he had that
much wine in a bag on him.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Yes, you know, yep, sure, it's pretty incredible. And wait
till you hear how old this guy was. You're going
to flip your lip.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
You'm ready.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
French cyclists survived for three days after horrendous one hundred
and thirty foot fall into a ravine.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
And he kepteen stories folks he.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Ran the numbers kept alive by the bottles of red
wine that he had in his shopping bag. Police said
the seventy seven year old missed a bend on his
bicycle on a way home from the supermarket on a
lonely road in the mountainous Savennis region, careening down a
rocky slope and into a ravine near Sant Julien des Point.
(09:35):
Unable to climb out, the man tried to shout every
time a vehicle passed, but no one heard his cries
how tragic is that?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
As the hours turned into days, he was sustained by
the bottles of wine he was taking home, Babby, rescuer said. Finally,
passing road workers heard him yelling and spotted the twisted
bike frame below. A helicopter airlifted him to a hospital,
with rescue doctor Laurent Savath calling his survival quote a
(10:07):
miracle given the cold in the rain, with almost nothing
to eat or drink. End quote other than red wine.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
I love it. Honestly, red wine should be picking this up.
I don't know if there's like a got Milk campaign
for red wine in France, but there should be, and
he should be.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
The poster child for it.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Yeah, in the outside after falling thirteen stories.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
An all seventies seven years young too, that's no spring chicken.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
And also so it's not a bagged wine it is.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
It is a bag of bottles of wine.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah, that's amazing that he had multiple bottles in his bag.
I love it.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I love he had a big weekend planned and boy,
just there must be a point too where you get
a little drunk. You know, you're like, I gotta survive.
I need these calories I need hydration. And then you're
three quarters of a bottle of wine and then you're like, well,
this an't that bad ravine. This ravine is pretty spacious.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
That the tough part would be you don't know when
you're getting.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Rescued, right, that's right.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
So it's like, oh, boy, like you go through the
first bottle pretty quickly. Let's be honest, you're in the
bottom of a ravine. You know, it's getting dark, no
one's gonna hear you. You gotta sleep. You're gonna drink
that bottle of wine, go to bed. But then after that,
do you how do you decide how much to have?
You know, god, you must have been dehydrated.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Do you eat the cork?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I don't know. I feel like I would be worried
that it would make me vomit, oh, you know, or
cause me like intestinal distress, because I think that's what
you're really in danger of in those situations. Yeah, is
like eating something or drinking something that makes you have
diarrhea or vomit and then you're you're dead essentially.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Do you do you suck on the cork for nutrition?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Where do you think the cork has Nutrition's cutty? I'm
just saying, I says, where we find out that Scott
he does not know what a quirk is.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Yeah, that I've never heard. I just read the word
and I'm like, yeah, I'm aware of this. Well, I'm
just saying, you know, there's a little wine on the
bottom of that cork. If you're starving for three days,
the first thing I would eat would probably be the cork.
I don't know. Maybe I mean, daddy's got to eat.
(12:27):
That's what I'm saying. Doctor Laurence Avad said he is
a really tough man. He fell into a stream several
times trying to scramble back up, so was that a
risk of hypothermia? Again, rub some cork on it. The
cyclist ultimately escaped his predicament with minor injuries and mildthermia.
According to French outlet Entrevus, this isn't the first time
(12:51):
a person has endured harsh conditions with a bottle of wine.
Oh I'm not. I mean yeah, maybe millions and millions
people historically have had harsh conditions in bottle of wine.
In twenty twenty three, a woman who went missing for
five days in the Australian bushland was found alive after
surviving for five days on lollipops and wine.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Wow, how many lollypops was she traveling with?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I know the forty eight year old woman was finally
located in dense bushland after she took a wrong turn,
ended up on a dead end road and got her
car stuck in mud. Pretty incredible, and she lived on
lollipops and wine. Lollipops, Kurt, you're you know, like for
our younger listeners, part of being an adult is you're
always carrying at least two lollipops at all time. Wallet
(13:45):
keys I.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Have, especially in the trunk. You know, you have your
spare and you have a bag of lollipops and a
bottle of wine.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
It's funny that in our childhoods it does feel like
we're from the eighteen fifties, because I remember when teachers
would give us dumb dumbs as a tree, dumb dumb lollipops,
and it was like it was like the skies had
opened and jowed himself lowered down and said here take
this morsel.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
You'll be glad to hear Scotty that dumb dums are
still very much a currency childhood experiences. They're everywhere everywhere
still have dumb dums. Dum dums have probably been around
since the fucking fifties.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Yeah, who knows who.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Makes dumb dums? Do you know what I mean? Like,
what company is making so much money for so long
off these dumb dums.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Dude, they're good too.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I like multiple flavors.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I think it's a perfect size. The fact that has
a mystery flavor is crazy. There's no other candy. That's
just like, who gives a shit?
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Eat it? That's right, dumb dumbs? Dumb dums do? I mean?
There were and then there were the kids that would
try to keep it till the very end of the day,
like just keep it in their mouth as long as possible.
There were kids that would eat it immediately. There were
kids that would lick it into a spear. They would
make a point out of their dumb dumb into the
poke people with it. The point is is, I'm glad
dumb dumbs are still around, and I hope jolly ranchers
(15:08):
are still strutting their tail feathers too.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
They are, but now they come in a gigantic bag,
like you have to buy a big bag of them,
and you're just like I don't know. I guess that's
how you always bought jolly ranchers, but they're now supposed
to be like consumed quickly, seemingly.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
So this story reminds me a story, and I was
actually going to tell this story at Banana's fest. But yes,
it means.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
It's a good one. That means it's a good one, folks.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
So when I'm I think I was probably fifteen or
sixteen years old, I was very into mountain biking. I
was racing mountain bikes. I was working on a bike shop.
It was a big part of my personality. And where
I lived there was this National Guard base that hadn't
really been developed, so it was, I don't know, a
couple hundred acres of woods and lakes and ponds and
rivers and stuff. It was great. Yeah, And I had
caught wind through my neighbor Laney, who's great coal that
(15:56):
a girl that I really had a crush on, and
her best friend were go They heard about the second pond,
which is the smaller pond, and they were going to
go swimming. So I was like, you know what I'm
gonna do. I'm going to ride my bike by there,
just acting like I didn't know they were there, just acting,
you know, just it's close to my house, just being
(16:17):
a cool dude. No helmet, no helmet that day, just
in the woods, just putting in reps. But to add
to the you know, anythink can happen in the world
of fifteen or sixteen year old Scotti, my other neighbor
who at the time we had used to be best friends.
We had grown a part at this point. But my
buddy Kyle and I had this plant and it was
(16:40):
in our it was in his neighbor's yard, and we
realized one night when we were goofing off that we
just pulled up on this plant and the whole thing
came out of the ground. So we would stash he
would stash drugs. Wow. But then we would put zemas
under there. We would put we could fireworks, we would
hide under there, and then you put the whole play
back down and put mulch over it. And it was
(17:02):
basically like what a root seller, but just for illegal things.
So before I cut into the woods and ride, it's
a deep roadcrid. It's like this was gonna be about
forty minutes of pedaling through the woods. They're jails and stuff,
But I knew where it was. I've been swimming there.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
And it's a swimming hole. It's just like off a lake,
a river.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
So cool question it was. And I know with every
detail you're going to say this is impossible. But there
was a dam built, a concrete dam that was built
alongside a chemistry lab. And so it was a pond
I would say, maybe as big as a racquetball court,
(17:46):
and it was very deep and we used to fish
in it, but you could also jump off the dam
part of it.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
A racketball court. Yeah, that's not big.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
It wasn't very big. This was the smaller, like fishing
hole size place, but there was. Yeah, it's right.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Next to a like a chemical processing plant.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
No, just a kept. There was a school there, a
school for bad girls called Mantros and.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
In detail it continues to get better.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yeah, And so they had a chemistry lab there with
like you know, Florence flass and earlimine flass and all
those things, and they still had things that said like
hydrochloric acid and sodium and all this stuff. And so
we would throw all those down this thing and break
them because we're children, so pretty far run. So I
ride up first to our root seller stash box basically
(18:37):
lifted up. I'm not going to take drugs. I didn't.
I'm not even hurt. I wasn't a drug guy. No
fireworks thought about it. But what we did find was
there was some down home punches, Jack Daniels. Down home punches,
remember those they were They're pink, and they were like
eight or ten ounce bottles, and they were like malt liquor.
(18:58):
They were basically a way for children to be introduced
to alcohol. Yeah, and they worked, and they were also delicious,
and back.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Then you never threw one up. You would never have
one again, bingo.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
And so I found a little four pack of those.
I put him in my messenger bag and then I
just start I'll just take it a nice, normal ride
with no ulterior motives. Guys, I'm not trying to see
here with a four pack of what's it called down
home punch, Down Daniels.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I was just gonna drink this by myself out here
by the lake and smash some bottles. But now that
you're here, huh.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
This soil temperature down home punch that I just dug
up from a neighbor's yard who doesn't know that he's
a drug dealer, a grown man that doesn't know that
he's dealing drugs.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Hey, you guys aren't bad girls, are you? Because there's
a school for that.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Yeah, because you're on campus for Manto School for Bad Girls.
So yeah, I'm this is and looking back, this is
pre all social media. I mean I had a gateway
computer or something. I don't know, but yes, the concept
of seeing the girl you had a crush on in
her friend in a swimsuit was enough to make you ride. Yeah,
(20:07):
you think forty minutes I would have ridden to Nebraska. Like.
I was like, let's do it. So I started riding
and I'm getting close. Yeah, And there's sort of this
long sweeping hill down to this tree line, and then
along that tree line there's just a normal path that
goes to where this pond is, the watering hole and
all that stuff. And I see two women coming out.
(20:29):
So I'm like, farts, I missed. I missed my window
to catch them laying out in swimsuits and riding up
and being like, what's up? You guys? Like down home
punch by chance? Because I have four of them that
have been cooking against my sweaty back for the last
forty five minutes. So I hustle to go faster. And
I've ridden this area many times, and there is a
(20:50):
loading ramp that was built by the military for I
don't know, loading stuff on the dump trucks or whatever
they do steak bits. So I gun it and I
jump off that and I just simply land so hard
that I flipped forward. But I had clipless pedals, the
kind were your shoes click into the wheels.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Yeah, so oh no, it came with you.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yes, So I do a front tuck and then I
like tray bouchet the bicycle with my feet and throw
this bike honestly forty five feet. I just throw it
down a hill towards these women. They're still pretty far away.
And then I hear, you know.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Did you land on concrete or dirt?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
No, I laid it on grass, but it was glass,
It was swoped. It was going away from me, and
I just miss time the jump, like I just didn't
pull up soon enough and threw my bike.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
If it's like going down a hill, you're actually falling farther,
that's right to anticipate.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Yes, So did I yell something to get their attention
before doing it? Yes I did. I don't recall what
I did, but I did shout something. And so when
I land yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Oh wait, you got the bottles in your bag?
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Bingo. So I landed on my back and I thought
I had broken my back again. Wasn't wearing a helmet
to be cool for the babes? Yep? And then I
wiggle my tails, move my legs. And also it should
be noted I crashed at that same place another time
had destroyed my bike, but this time bike was fine.
Just got thrown forty five feet towards two girls walking
(22:33):
out of the woods, and so I kind of make
sure I'm not paralyzed. And when I sit up, I
hear are you okay? Oh my god, are you okay? Like,
don't move, don't move, And I sit up and it's
not those girls. It is two women that I've never
met or seen or seen since, grown women, adult women.
I'm sixteen or fifteen year old. And so from their
(22:54):
point of view, they saw the skinniest white boy you've
ever seen in your life, say something like check this,
sud Or probably yelled Jumanji, That's something I used to yell.
Then wreck so hard and throw hit their bike with
their feet at these two women. Then as I stand
up to play a cool realizing it's not the two
(23:15):
girls that I wanted to see, who, by the way,
weren't there that day. So all of this was a
fool's errand of hearsay that those two were gonna be
sunbathing and swimming and then I should go check them out.
And so these women come up, and as they're coming up,
just pink fluid is just leaking out of my messenger
bag by Tim buck du Pike. So it looks like
I'm like pissing my pants or peeing blood because the
(23:37):
down home punches are just leaking through all the y. Yeah,
of course I thought I'm going like thirty miles an hour.
So I meet them at my bike and I'm like,
I'm okay, I'm all right. And they're like, oh, are
you like? This is really bad? And they're like do
you want to ride? And I'm like, I have this bike,
I kid, I'm fine. And so what ended up happening
(23:59):
is I just ended up going seeing that the girls
weren't there the intended audience, convincing these two women I
wasn't paralyzed or bleeding out my back and bike shorts
and stuff, and so I had to go swimming just
to get all the sticky crap off of me. And
so then I just rode a bicycle wet home just
(24:19):
stone cull sober. Couldn't have been a bigger loser if
I had to do it. And when I told the girls,
they were like, oh, that would have been awesome, Like
that would have been so my goal was going to
be the greatest moment in all of our high school lives.
But instead I just showed two women what an idiot
(24:41):
looks like, threw a bicycle at them, and then bled
out my back for thirty two ounces.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Oh my god, that's amazing, you know what. It is
so fascinating too because I have weirdly parallel story when
I was twelve, I was in sixth grade. I was twelve,
and I would ride my bike from Neptune to ave
(25:08):
On by the Sea and h ave On had I
believe it was my first girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Okay, and like down home Potch.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I was riding to see Carrie, and I was riding
along Route thirty five in Neptune, New Jersey, and I
just went to go up on. There was like a
you know, the curb came down so that you like,
cars could drive into a parking lot, and I went
(25:41):
to just drive into that, but for some reason, my
bike got my bike wheel got caught on the lip
of the edge of it, and just I just flipped
flipped off, landed on my face. Ooh, not good, and
like it was my upper lip and then down below
just like just the skin off, you know, And then
(26:06):
and then did not turn around. I should have turned
around and gone home, but I was so excited to
go see Carrie that I continued riding to her house
showing up just pouring, and her parents weren't around, but
like she had an older sister who I remember her
going and like getting tailan all for me, but I
(26:28):
couldn't open my mouth enough to swallow tailand all.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
So then their idea was they crushed it up and
then mixed it with water.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Oh boy.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
And then I tried to drink it, and then it
just poured all over my open wound and tilan all
crushed up in water poisons. It burned so badly on
an open wound. Then I finally had to call my
mom and she came pick me up. She's like, why
didn't you come home when that happened? And I was like,
(27:00):
oh farther than halfway?
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Good? Look, yes boy, logic. Also, you were trying to
prove how far you would go for this person's live
like I were slate dragons.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yeah exactly, But man, that is that is as a
coming of age story for both of us.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Scottie, we did and in both instances we did not
get the girl. So the real lesson is, you know,
stay home, look at your phones. What you guys are
up to. It is way cooler. Don't have any of
these outward adventures on bicycles trying to see women that
you were not going to impress to begin with. All right,
but it does make me want to order some down
(27:40):
home punches.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Oh hell yeah. I mean there's no way they exist.
You'd have to buy them on eBay and they'd be
like that old Here it is world's biggest spider web
discovered inside soul Fur Cave with one hundred and eleven
thousand racknids living in pitch blackness.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
This is on LiveScience dot com. This y Sasha Pear,
who a lot of people say is the best in
the biz. This thing looks razy. It I've never seen
anything like it in my life. I'm not gonna post it,
but you guys can go and look. The video of
(28:26):
it is honestly mesmerizing. It looks like a wall of
a cave and then they like touch it, and the
whole thing for hundreds of feet going up in every direction,
just like wiggles. The whole thing is like hundreds and
hundreds of layers of spiderwebs that have just been being
(28:47):
built for right, I don't know, maybe a thousand years,
and like on top of each other and on top
of each other, and on top of each other and
on top of each other. Yes, and it's in pitch blackness.
I mean, like, yeah, is this nightmare.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Fuel? Remember in twenty twenty everybody said fuel marifuel.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
It was nightmare fuel And oh my god, I'm gonna
throw up in my mouth. That was twenty twelve.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Yeah, we got a lot of that.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Researchers have discovered more than one hundred and eleven thousand
spiders thriving in what appairs to be the world's biggest
spider web, deep inside a pitch black cave on the
Albanian Greek border. The extraordinary. Yeah, no shit, colony consists
of a colossal web and a permanently dark zone of
the cavern. According to a study, the web stretches one
thousand and forty square feet along all of a narrow,
(29:40):
low ceiling passageway near the entrance of the cave. It's
a patchwork of thousands of individual funnel shaped webs. The
researchers noted this is the first evidence of colonial colonial yeah,
I guess so, for colony colonial behavior and two common
spider species, and likely represents the largest spider web in
the world. The natural world still holds countless surprise for us,
(30:04):
who Rack told Live Science in an email. If I
were to attempt to put into wards all the emotions
that surged through me when I saw the web, I
would highlight admiration, inspect and gratitude. You have to experience
it to truly know what it feels like. The spider
mega City is located in Sulfur Cave, A great name
(30:25):
a cavern that was Sulfur Cave already an unpleasant names.
There's one hundred and eleven thousand spiders inside.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Hey, baby, you want to drink these down home punches
with me and your friend? In Sulfur cave what could
be down there?
Speaker 2 (30:44):
It was hollowed out by sulfuric acid form from oxidization
of hydrogen sulfide and groundwater. While the researchers revealed tantalizing
new information. Blah blah blah blah, where is the thing? Okay,
so these are this is another thing about these So
the two there's two separate spider species that live there,
(31:07):
and they aren't. They've never been shown to be friends,
so they are everywhere else they exist, they're enemies to
each other, and they like coexist and live together here.
Also normally like spiders hate other spiders and like eat
other spiders and kill other spiders, okay, and they like
live off on their own as huntresses. And instead this
(31:30):
is like the only example of them like working together
in this way in this giant megacity. But the reason
I wanted to do it was just like you think
that like it, especially in life, you think that you
because we get used to routine, you think that you're
pretty much assured of like that you kind of know
(31:52):
what to expect in the world, Like you know what's common.
You know you're not you're not expecting to be surprised.
It feels like everything's kind of been discovered already, other
than the dark Deep, because the dark Deep there's nothing
we don't know anything about it. Nope, But just to
sh'll like things. There's still things in the world that
(32:15):
you could never possibly imagine. And that is true for
your life as well. Even though it may seem that
things are just going the same way all the time,
A second could change everything and just just be just
be open to the possibility of change and also appreciate
(32:35):
the moments that might seem normally boring. And I agree
when it will change on a second.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
But I think that's true. There's always more than meets
the eye. There's always more going on than what you think.
There's a big old world out there, and I wouldn't
want to paint it, but that is so cool. That's
such an interesting area too. When you're in Greece in
the the rent boats that are like, do not take
this boat to Albania, whatever you do, And boy, doesn't
(33:05):
that just make you want to take that boat immediately
to Albania.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah, give me some shout outs, baby.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Oh, I got some thumbs up. Chantelle wants to thumb
her friend Katie up. Katie made Chantale up bananimal, and
she's the first to cheer anyone up. Yes, but Katie
was treated terribly at a job interview last week. So
Chantelle is saying thumbs up to Katie for being the best,
a supportive friend and a ray of sunshine. And f
(33:33):
you to the company who turned her down. Yeah, both
a thumbs up and an f you. Hell Yeah, Okay,
this one's really interesting. So Been Animals, Kurtie B and
I we are We are in no way licensed in
any way, shape or form for anything medical. Uh So
(33:55):
just think about that as I read this. This is
Tanya wants to thumb herself way up. And Tanya were
thumbing you up too. After six years and dozens of
antidepressants from four different classes of antidepressants and the worst
month of depression that Tanya ever had, she decided to
take care of her own mind and looked into treatment
(34:17):
resistant depression therapies. None of our doctors, psychiatrists, or psychologists
thought she had a certain variant of depression, so it
was up to Tanya to figure this one out for herself.
And she wants us to say, Been animals, who may
be suffering from depression. If you've tried more than four
types of antidepressants and you haven't, and you may have
(34:39):
treatment resistant depression. So look for therapies that target brains
like ours and do not suffer in silence.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Yeah, good, awesome. It feels medical stuff can feel so overwhelming,
especially when a doctor says I don't know you know,
and that happens so often.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
That's right. So maybe if you've tried many things, like
to look into treatment resistant depression, maybe that's a new
area for you to find some peace. And last, but
not least, Pillar cp oh, let me see how I
would say this. I think it's Caperda, Pilar. Caperda wants
(35:18):
to thumb up the Banana Boys. Pilar just listens to
the I Will Not Hide My Boat episode where Scotty
said he was called weird his entire life and now
he writes what he thinks is cool and what other
people still might think is weird, and he has an
awesome career. Thank you, Pilar, that's very kind of you.
Pilar says, I was called weird my whole childhood too,
(35:38):
and as I get older, I get bolder, and I've
been letting my authentic side out more. And it's nice
to know there are others out there, and thumbs up
to Kurtie b for saying that being weird might not
fit in one place, but it can be your strong
suit in another.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
All Right, I don't remember that episode, Pilar, but I'm
happy we said those things.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
And I agree. I agree with that also, I be
part of being in the arts.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
I'm just remembering that I knew a polar and she
was weird as well. Good here's to the weirdos man,
toast to the weirdos. I know without your life is
so much more boring.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
Oh my gosh, it just it's just a nice push
to go check out the rest of the world being
called weird. I still get called weird all the time.
But the people that call me weird are also the
ones that five years later call me for advice about
something because they're so bored, and I go, yeah, I know, Last,
but not least, here's a nice one. Melanie Scott wants
(36:38):
the thumb up her daughter Josephine, along with her role
as wife and mother. This year, she's succurred her dream
job as deputy coroner. In true Banana's fashion, she has
passionately embraced her new position and the community she serves.
Joe genuinely enjoys helping people. Her position affords her an
opportunity to help in a way that few are able to.
(37:00):
She's the best in the biz. So thumbs up to you,
Josephine from your wonderful mother Melanie.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
Yay, that's great. Good that those were some great thumbs
up Scottie Nice.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
I loved him. Keep sending them in the Bananz Podcast
at gmail dot com or at the Bonanz Podcast on
Instagram and we will respond.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Uh one to send us home. Just give us the
title of this one, baby.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Hmm hmm. Okay, Okay, I can do that. I can
do that. This one was sentenced by Crystal, and Crystal
will do this on a future episode. So don't feel
like you're you're left out in the cold.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
No, we'll start with it.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Left out in the cold with a garden gnome. He
thought his garden gnomes were being stolen, but then they
were returned in better shape than ever.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
No, okay, now we have to know a little more.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Okay. Philip Drost, CBC Radio, Best in the Beeswax. That
guy is good at gnome typing. Seriously. Kelly Blair, which
is a man, Kelly Blair thought he would never see
his garden nomes again. Two women's names. Kelly Blair, Yes,
straight as an arrow. This guy, oh hell.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
Yeah, he's got a bunch of garden homes.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
I thought he would never see his garden noomes again.
They disappeared from his yard in Kellowne, Kelowna, an old Coloonna,
British Columbia, not long after he hosted a yard sale
last month. But last week he got a knock on
the door from a lovely older lady who handed him
a note. The envelope said homeowner on the front, and
inside was a photo copy cutout of a gnome on
(38:35):
the back, and it said the Gnome Restoration Society. And
that was it, as Blair told As It Happens host
Peter Armstrong, and then he asked the lady what's up.
The lady asked him to follow her to her car.
She had obviously no threatening manner about her, so of
course I followed her to her car. They're sitting in
the trunk of her sedan were his garden nomes. All
(38:55):
of a sudden, there's a huge splash of color and
all my gnomes are back. In fact, there were two
more and we're taking oops. He was actually planning to
give the numbs away as part of an effort to
declutter ahead of a move. Blair said he only discovered
the disappearance when he went to his backyard two weeks
ago to snap some photos of them. When he went
out there, there was only one lonely guarden nome left.
(39:16):
At first, he thought nothing of it. His canoe and
his tools had been stolen following a stolen following a
garage tail a few weeks earlier. What's going on.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
With his canoe stolen? Oh no, what's he gonna do?
Speaker 1 (39:29):
What's he gonna can do? But anyways, so they brought
these back and Blair said he's impressed with the quality
of the work over his made over gnome gang, adding
the eye for detail is incredible. The big guy with
the pipe kirt they mature as ash was in the
pipe and it was a great tone.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
So basically, he didn't sleuth out or asked this lady
many questions, but she did give a small clue. The
woman said they were mostly retired people who did this
and wished to remain anonymous.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Yeah, because they're stealing gnomes.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
But anyways, there was never any ill intent, and there
is a secret gnome restoration society. Whoever you are, wherever
you are. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
You know what. Straight up? First off, I love this
community that has enough gnomes to warrant a gnome restoration. Yes, society. Also,
this only happens in Canada, just Canadians, just so you
know you got some special going on, all right, Yeah,
this is not happening in the other parts of the
world that people are doing this. This is just for
(40:35):
you and I really apprec That's why I love Canada.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
I know. And you know, if you have a really
nice yurt, Kurt and I might need to move in
there depending on how things go. So Canadians with great
yurts just keep the Banana Boys in mind. We're clean,
we're polite.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
And that's where you want to live in Canada in
a ur. I do know. I had a friend who
lived in Upstate New York in a yurt for twenty
five years, so but I think it was rough in
those I think it was pretty rough.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
YEA.
