Speaker 2 (00:00):
Are you ready, KURTI b oh, I'm so ready. I'm
ready to just laugh and laugh and laugh.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
I was hoping you'd say that paralyzed man communicates first
words in month using brain implant quote. I want a beer?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Okay, all right, I can relate to this, so so
heavily bottoms up. It's a brand new episode of Bananas.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
I sat world understand.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Would you believe.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
It's your livesillion pieces? Would you believe?
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Baa baaa? Guys, gals, non binary pals, Welcome to Bananas.
I'm Kurt Brown older.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I am Banana BOYD number two. Thank you for listening
to the silliest little podcast there ever was. Kurt, I
want to dedicate this episode to Kenya, to the nation
of Kenya.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
I'm ready to dedicate to Kenya.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
And I'm sure we have listeners that are at least
of Kenyan descent. If not in Kenya listening, that would
be fantastic. But we'll take you wherever we can get you.
Over the weekend yesterday actually I went and saw International
rugby tournament with John Gabris, who's a friend of our
guests also, and Kenya did not win men's or women's
(01:31):
but they placed like top five, but they celebrated the
entire day like they won the whole thing. We went
sat with them, we were drinking Tusker beers. By the
end of it, I'm like, I'm the most pro Keny
guy in the world. Shout out to our Kenyan bananimals.
If you exist, we love you.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Oh that sounds fantastic. I wish I was there. What
was it? What sports?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Sorry, rugby, the rugby being two different types of rugby,
but it's international. It's down in Carson. It's where the
La Galaxy soccer team normal plays. And I've gone maybe
ten years in a row with Gabrius who played in college.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
But let's bring on our guests enough too, ah right,
because she's a friend. Our guest today was voted our
best one by Humanity Magazine, and laught Giggle dot com
named her the funniest person of the last twelve thousand years.
She's an actress, she's a writer, she's a comedian, and
you've definitely seen her and heard her in movies and
(02:32):
shows like Ghosts, The Good Place, New Girl, Mike and
Dave Need, Wedding Dates, Night, Bitch Physical. Basically, she's everywhere
and now we're lucky to have her own bananas. Please
welcome the great Mary Holland.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Hello, twelve thousand years I had no idea.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yeah, it's I didn't.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Get a plaque or they didn't notify me in any way.
This is the person hearing about it.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
It's the funniest thing since that, since corn was domesticated.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Congratulations, oh man, thank you for having me.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I'm so excited to be here.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Oh god, it's a pleasure. It's a treat. We've wanted
to have you on for a little while now. But yeah,
the world just keeps getting crazier. So really, anytime you
come on, it's going to be a little more bananas
than it was even two days ago.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Well that's great because I'm looking for Max Banana. That's
you know me, that's right, Banana to the.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Max, living the dream, and then you do you do
so many different things. I was looking at your IMDb
and the list is incredible. But I did notice that
your first credit as an actor is one of the
great credits of all time. You were screaming woman in
something called twenty four or twenty four seconds. Maybe do
(03:56):
you remember this?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Uh? Yes, I remember. It was a friend did.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
It was like, was it a twenty four spoof?
Speaker 4 (04:05):
It was exactly, that's exactly right, that's exactly right. And
I did play a screaming woman, and you know, it's
it's so nice when you play a character and you
know who the character is based off the description alone,
you know, because you play a character named Maggie and
you're like, well, Maggie could be anybody, but you know,
(04:28):
play a character named screaming woman and you know her,
you know her right away.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
You know it's right. But also first credit, it probably
felt pretty good.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
It felt amazing.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Get the ball roll.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Get on IMDb.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
That is it's a huge it's a huge accomplishment.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I feel like I think like because I just looked
at like a character list for a script we had written,
because I just hadn't thought about it, and I just
every you know, everything numbered out, and then one of
them is just shady Junkie. And I was like, I
don't want anybody to audition for shady Junkie, you know,
so like I think I'm going to change it to
like Junkie Bill or something, but like just shady Junkie
(05:14):
is just like, oh come on.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Now, sure, sure, but again it does communicate the character.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
To Mary's point, it's describing what they need for that movie.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
So it will help the actors with their audition because
they know what type of junkie they're playing.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Kurt, I just looked yours up just so I don't
ever like to anybody to feel left out. Your first credit,
Kurt is from scroll Wheel of Time. It was a
TV series and in one episode you played an SS office.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Oh my god, that is that is honestly something that
never came out, So I don't and it wasn't. It
wasn't my first thing either, so that I only shot
that like maybe six or seven years ago.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Oh I'm sorry, Okay, well all right, well there you go.
I still like that SS officer.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
I'm shocked that I haven't played more Nazis in period
pieces because I'm definitely my My opening joke when I
first started stand up was, I know, I look like
the IT guy from the Nazis. But now I can't
even do that joke because real Nazis are everywhere.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I don't like them.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I'm against them, against them, we are anti Nazi.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
On bananas, I agree, I agree, it takes It takes
bravery encourage to say these kind of things. But we
are anti Nazi crazy. The podcast that is called Banana
Bananas kurty B tell us about this old beer chip
in the brain.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Oh dude, this is great. This just came out today.
This was in The Independent and I found out about
it from science memes.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
That sounds like a real sight. Seems real all of
a sudden.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
No, I had to look it up and look it
up to make sure it was real. But it is.
This was written by Anthony Cuthbertson, who is a lot
of people say is the best in the viz chit
chatting about beer plants. Here we goes. Paralyzed man communicates
first words in months using brain implant. I want a beer.
(07:22):
A completely paralyzed man who was left unable to communicate
for months after losing the ability to even move his
eyes has used a brain implant to ask his caregivers
for a beer, composing sentences at a rate of just
one character per minute. The man also asked to listen
to the band Tool Loud, requested a head massage from
(07:43):
his mother, and ordered a curry, all through the power
of thought. The man who's now thirty six, had two
square electrode arrays surgically implanted into his brain to facilitate
communication in March twenty nineteen after being left in a
lock in state as a result of ameotrophic lateral sclerosis,
(08:06):
which is less So I'm sorry this is actually from
twenty twenty two. I had no idea. I don't know
why I never saw it before. People suffering from the
progressive neurogenitive disease have an average life expectancy after diagnosis
of two to five years, although they can live much longer.
The late physicist Stephen Hawking lived another fifty five years
(08:26):
after his diagnosis, relying towards the end of his life
on a communication device controlled by a single cheek muscle.
Until now, a brain implant has not been tested on
a completely locked in patient, and it was not known
whether communication was even possible for people who had lost
all voluntary muscular control. Quote. Ours is the first study
to achieve communication by someone who has no remaining voluntary movement,
(08:49):
and hence for whom the BCI is now the sole
means of communication, said Jonas Zimmerman, a senior neuroscientist at
the Wife's Center. This study answers a long standing question
about whether pe people with complete locked in syndrome who
have lost all voluntary muscle control, including movement of eyes
or mouth, also lose the ability of their brain to
generate commands for communications. It took three.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Months of its huh uh, huh, it took three months.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Uh. It took three months of unsuccessful attempts before configuration
was achieved that allowed the patient to use brain signals
to produce a binary response to a speller program, answering
yes or no when presented with letters. AH. Took another
three weeks to produce the first sentences, and over the
next year, the patient produced dozens of sentences. One of
his earliest communications concerned his care asking for his head
(09:45):
to be kept in an elevated and straight position when
there were visitors in the room. He also requested different
kinds of foods to be fed that's great. He was
also able to interact with his four year old son
and wife, generating the message I love my cool son,
Oh my.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
God, Oh that's amazing, the son's cool, or yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Just you just never meet a cool four year old?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
You never do, you never do. And the reason I
want to cry is I was like, oh, man, I
wish my four year old was cool.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Yeah, like most four year olds are like uptight you know, business.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
People, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yeah, up tight, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Look at that. Look at that a good news, good
news of the future. Look at that a rare good
news of the future, folks.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
I still don't think I totally understand how how it
translates thought to letter, but but hey, I'm no nervous.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
He literally he thinks it. So there's a program that
just goes a B in everything, so A and he
goes no be or he thinks no be, he thinks no,
C thinks no until it gets to the letter he
wants and he says and thinks yes for like I,
And that lights up.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
A different part of your brain when you think no
or yes or.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I get yeah or that yeah yes, I don't know.
We look Well, there's a way to know. Is the
real answer you're looking for?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Mary?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
No one knows other than Steven Weiss at the Weiss's Center.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Pretty amazing. Also, okay, and I'm not trying to be crude.
I'm not even going for a laugh. But do they
give this guy a beer? And do they can they
give this guy a beer. Do they think they call
a beer with this guy? Does this guy get a
beer funnel?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I think he can. Yeah, give this guy a beer.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Give this guy a beer.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Definitely, at the least a beer.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
It's also cool if they did blast the band tool
in his room, and then another patient down the room communicated,
please turn that music down, and pretty all the same
problems of people who are not yes, it locked up.
It's like they're still just like, turn it down. I
hate this pan.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Yeah, turn it down.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
And hey, don't you know leave your laundry in the dryer?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Please please, Like all the regular problems.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
It feels like a Black Mirror episode, and it feels
like every scary movie writer in Los Angeles sat down
to write their version of this, where like the greatest
detective is solving a crime but he has to say
no no no, no, no, no no no no yes.
That would be yeah, thrilling, very.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Thrilling, very thrilling.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Speaking of the Black Mirror, have you guys watched this
new season? Is no so upsetting on like or The
first episode is one of the most upsetting hours of television.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Ever seen.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
It is so difficult, it's really I mean, it's well
made some time.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
You know, the the episode that the first episode that
gave it in my mind, it's like, this is the
most anxiety producing episode of television I've ever seen, and
that is the Night Of.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Oh yeah, which one is that about?
Speaker 2 (13:19):
HBO?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Tough?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
That?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Oh that show Night.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Of couldn't handle it?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Oh that that was a great show.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
But you're saying Black Mirror is upsetting in a similar way,
in an anxiety way or just or.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
It it's sad. It's anxiety but also a sadness and
a scary almost a scariness, not in a horror way,
but in an idea way for that. And that's just
for the first episode of this new season, wow, which
features Rashida Jones and she's excellent.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Yeah, but it also features Sabrina Jalise who's pod and
Lisa Gilroy who's been a guest on Bananas. So there's
some moments among the dark moments, and that's what we
got to take away from this.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
There's a couple loose bananas in there.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yes, and Mary, I hope you do get Casso on
next season of Black Mirror. So in just the saddest,
darkest episode, I would love it, thought, Yeah, But.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Mary Holland was on it, and Wow, she really upset us.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Wouldn't that be nice?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I didn't know she had that later darkness too.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
She does, what's the darkest thing You've ever had to act?
Speaker 5 (14:32):
In?
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Mary?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
I did have to.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
I had to run from a killer in a movie
called Maggie Moore's which is it's actually based on a
true story of these two women who lived in a
small Texas town and one of them I can't remember
in the real story who exactly did this, but someone
(14:59):
in her life hired a hitman to kill her and
then he accidentally killed the other woman by the same name.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
So that So it's a movie that came out that's
directed by John Slattery, and my character this isn't a
spoiler very early on gets it.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Oh are you the person who gets killed? Yeah, you're
the one with the wrong name.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
I'm one of the wrong name.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
So I was, uh so, But there was a whole
scene or sequence where I was running from this man
who was pursuing me and had to like really let
her rip and scream and terror and like bang on
doors and try to I ran into this motel thing.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
It was.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
That was Yeah, I think that's probably the darkest, okay.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
And also I mean like you because you're a very
good actor, so like you are actually experience. It's seing
these things, right, Why are you? Are you genuinely terrified
in those moments?
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Well?
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Especially yes, and especially when it's that interesting thing that
happens where if.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
You if you physically.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Dial into what what your body does when you're upset,
like for example, if you start breathing shallowly and you
start like you know, shaking, or it will create those
emotions in the same way those emotions create those physical symptoms.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
And so just running and screaming and like it did.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
It was uh yeah, I was able to tap into
my primal fear.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yeah. Do you work that way a lot? Do you do?
You go body first?
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Oh gosh, well, I get I don't really think about it.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
I guess I do. I guess. I guess some physicality
is such.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
A fun way into a into a point of view
that I guess I do. I I've never been that
intentional about it, but but I am a pretty physical
comedian if you've ever seen me.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Slip on appeal. I remember reading an interview with Bill Irwin.
He was a very famous clown who was then in.
He was in Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf with the
woman from Honeymoon Moonlighters. Uh, Sibil No, not Sybil Shepherd,
(17:31):
the other one. I thought you were going, Oh it
might have been Sybil Shepherd. Yeah, look it up.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
He was in.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
He was on Broadway and I remember that they were
he would uh, he just talked about what he would
do physically with his body before stepping out on stage.
And he was like, this guy is he's hollowed out
it from the center. Kathleen Turner was Kathleen Turner, Bill Irwin,
My god, I would I mean it was so good
(17:57):
and he would like hollow out, bring his shoulder forward
and bring his stomach in before he liked and then
they would tap their their wedding rings you know, because
they have like prop wedding rings on. Yeah, and they
would like tap them together right before I walked out
on stock And it was like, Oh, that's what that's
a real actor. Like whatever I've been doing is bullshit
(18:21):
compared to what this fucking clown does.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
He's so good, Like literally this clown. Wow, God, I
would have loved to have seen that.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I know.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Yeah, so fun.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
You know the thing that we all did when we
were kids, where you would be behind the sofa and
you'd pretend you were walking down the stairs to make
your parents laugh, Like you know, he just kind of
lower as you go. Well, I saw that was Bill
Erwin on the Cosby Show did his act and he
got in a chest and he just walked back and
forth down and then Rudy and all the other kids
did it too, And my little brain was like, this
(18:55):
is it. This is the peak of comedy. I shall
never have to look further. I'm four years old, I
am not cool. I am a little businessman, and this,
to me, this steamer trunk walking down the stairs is
number one Mount Everest of comedy. Yes, that had a
big impact in my life, is what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Of course. And you've been you've been, you know, attempting
to to yourself.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Steamer trunk, that is what it is.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
You've been chasing that dragon, that ship, steamer trunk dragon.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
That's why it's called a steamer trunk.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Finally, someone things, I see you. I have one for you, guys. Married,
Do you enjoy cooking? Are you the type of person
that gets a real joy out of figuring out a
recipe in your own kitchen.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
I enjoy the idea of it. I'm not I'm not
super naturally gifted at it. My husband is. He's a
great cook, but so I sort of.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
I understand the joy, even though I usually just get
kind of overwhelmed and overstimulated.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Well here's I'm just gonna read this article that might
help you in your future cooking. Okay, please Nate Morrison
sent this in Thank you, Nate Morris. If you want
to send it in stories to bananas, it's so easy
to do. You can send them to the Bananas Podcast
at gmail dot com, or even faster, you can dms
on Instagram at the Bananas Podcast and we will probably
(20:38):
see it. That's what's weird about us. We actually look
at all of them.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
This was in Vice magazine dot com, which I didn't
even realize still existed. But good for them. Oh yeah,
written by the best and the biz Sammy Caramela.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Oh wow, three that's three words.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Last name is c A r A M E l A.
So Waramella came Caramela. Everybody's different. Best in the bis
that's Sammy.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
To where there's original of a last.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Name damn right, also still delicious after all these years,
it really is. Dishwashers can cook a perfect rare steak.
One meat lover claim, No, what guys.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Don't put your meat in the dishwasher.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Well now we have to marry not to find out
if it's true. No, we have we have no choice.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
I'm just saying, when your husband leaves the room, marry
and you go, I got did in the night, babe.
First thing you do as you open that dishwasher and.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
I slap a flank steak in there.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
For pound t bones, pop them in there.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
No bottom rack?
Speaker 1 (21:50):
What didn't we Oh yeah, top bottom rack is a
good question.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Well, that's one way to do it. That's a cool
way to start in.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
That's all right. That's how fucking vice does it. Baby.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
You know what I'm Caramelo. She's not your granddad's journalist.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Advice created one of the worst far right in cells
of the world.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Well, that's one way to do it. If you're too
lazy to grill a steak for dinner this summer. And
who has the time, guys? That takes seven or eight minutes? Yeah, Max,
come on, who has the time. I'm so busy with
these phones ubering everywhere. You can always just toss it
in your dishwasher for a while, at least, according to
(22:37):
the co host of the Barbecue Culture podcast. In a
viral Instagram clip those are the Best Kind posted under
under Seasoned Barbecue podcast, co host Simon Luxton detailed his
strange idea to prepare a steak sue ved style in
the dishwasher.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Knew it, I knew it. It was gonna steam it.
It's going to steam it.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yeah, yeah, you know what. Here's my question about the souvie.
Like everybody is now worried and concerned about how many,
how much microplastics are in our brain. Great, and yet
for so long people are like, here's what you do. No, no, no, listen,
don't cook it on the stove. You put it in
a plastic bag and then you boil it for hours.
(23:23):
Get all that plastic right into the meat.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
That's what makes it tender. That's what all that moisture
is is this. It's plastic.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
It's plastic, right, And what's more tender than swallowing slow
roasted to ease into the bloodstream same temperatures human blood plastics. So, however,
he did not expect the outcome that he got steak
cooked in a dishwasher. We're gonna post on the April Fools,
(23:52):
but it turned out so delicious we had to scramble
and make tofu ribs for April Fool's Day instead.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
So they may speak ambled eggs in it too.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
They can. You can scramble legs. You can anything in
your dishwasher, is what we're going. Yeah, throw your oven
out the window. We really didn't think this would work,
he aded, but it did. It really really did, and
we wish it hadn't. In the video, lux And explains
(24:22):
the process of testing the idea that you can sue
eat a steak in the dishwasher, which basically entails vacuum
ceiling a slab of meat and cooking it in temperature
controlled water. This thing went in the dishwasher for an
hour and a half and I did not want it
to work. He said. That makes two of us. He added,
I wanted, oh, sorry, that's what the author said. That
(24:45):
makes two of us. Why is that the subjective?
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Why does everyone not want this to work? I mean,
this is this is what a what a tree know?
Speaker 4 (25:00):
This?
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Yeah, that's right. I wanted to fucking debunk this myth.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
He added, Man, these guys are so punk rock about
cooking Star, so I know it's like, wow, they're so
alt so like god.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I feel a little scared reading this.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
So do you remember vices Vice's dues and don'ts the.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Best the best part of the magazine?
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:25):
I don't remember that. What is it?
Speaker 1 (25:27):
It would just have pictures of people on the street
and they would just make fun of their fashion.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
I was probably featured.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
And publish pictures of human beings and be like, look
at this fucking idiot.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Yeah, they really did, and they were. But sometimes the
dws I would look at him like one guy was
just in him basically like a fitted bed sheet, had
like a crown, but he was wearing black Chuck tailors
tied correctly, and the DW was like, no matter how
crazy your fit is, if you ground it with a
(26:02):
pair of Chuck Taylors, everybody will assume you did it
on purpose. And I was looking at him like that's
really true.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Yeah, but I have a question, Scottie, yep, what is
the correct way to tie black chucks? I didn't know
about this.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Oh, you know, they just weren't like they weren't crazy
giant like neon loopy laces. It was just like he
was wearing them like a like you or me would
tie on a pair of tennishoes, not yea, not looped
anything fancy. But it did ground the guy. And the
guy was like wearing a sandwich but dressed in the
craziest ensemble you could find it a dumpster. And you
(26:38):
were like, I think this was a choice.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
I think, yeah, I mean this is a good It's
a good lesson in fashion because you really just need
to have one assessor. Yeah that is that is done correctly.
So you could be totally nude.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
But if you have a tie that is tied.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
In a perfect winds or not, suddenly suddenly it's a statement.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Yeah, well that my kids preschool graduation.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
I used to be really into like fashion ship when
I was in my twenties, really really weirdly. I like,
you know, I was dating like a fashionista person, and
so she would like get me stuff, and I'd be like,
all right, I'm gonna try this. I remember one I had.
I don't even know if you you might remember this, Gutty.
I think we were at a New Year's party. But
(27:32):
I had a holster, like a holster that I would
wear like it was a shoulder holster for like an
undercover cop to have a gun in. But instead it
just had like my wallet and my phone.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Oh my god, wait would this be would this be
under your jacket or would you would you know?
Speaker 1 (27:54):
I just had just I had a button up T
shirt and a button up shirt, a fucking under the.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Like a detective who just got into the off break.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
But he doesn't have a gun. He's just got a no, no, no,
and probably a little bit of molly.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Every homicide detective does.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Cool cop. I do remember that, but I think I
had blacked that out. But I do remember that.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
We ended up walking home in the snow. I think
that party because like we couldn't get a car that era.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Mary, Were you living in New York in the No.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
No, no, Unfortunately, I feel like I missed out on
a big.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Moment in time. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
And in Brooklyn around two thousand and five ish' it's
it is different than Silver Lake and Highland Park is now.
It was Williamsburg. Brooklyn felt like the absolute epicenter of hipsterdom, really,
to the point where Joe Mandy wrote look at this
fucking hipster and like Vice was right in Williamsburg as
a part of this. But I told the story such
(29:02):
a long time ago. But I literally saw somebody sitting
at a brunch in a fitted sheet on Bedford Avenue
once as like an outfish, and I was like, and
it was show's moved from Ohio. Be the weirdest person
you can for four years, get your heart broken, move
back to Ohio and be a north person for the
rest of your life.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Get your heartbroken. That is a must. That's we're Williamsburg.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
It wasn't even a romance heartbroken. It was just your
heart broken. And how difficult it was to do laundry
in New York City.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Oh god it was. I had huge mutton chops, which
is well.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
He really did, he really did.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
They were awful.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
I bet you looked like an eighteenth century steel baron.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
I did. He did? I did Jasper burnsides. It was like,
I don't you just moved there, And You're like, well,
I gotta do something dumb.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Take a swing. You gotta take a swing.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Where did you live in your twenties, Mary, I.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Lived in Los Angeles. I lived right here in.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
La Where what part.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Oh. I lived, Oh.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
My gosh, across the street from the UCB Theater. That
bright cis is a brigade theater on Franklin.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
You lived at the you lived at the Church of Scientology.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
I lived there. I lived there.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
That's interesting.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Rinth was expensive.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
It was my whole identity three years of service. No,
but it was down that little side street. There was
an apartment building and it was called the Shangri Lodge.
And it was anything but it was. It was rough stuff,
but it was, uh, you know, we're right past our window.
(30:45):
In one of the hallways you would overlook the one
o one it was. I remember like standing by that
window once and I saw.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
A crash on the one to one happen. Wow.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
But my apartment there was really quite a bummer is.
It was a bachelor which means that it's well, it's
a studio with no kitchen, so so.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Essentially it's really rude.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
So I there was one sink to wash your hands
and brush your teeth and then also to clean your dishes.
I had a hot plate that I would cook on
in a in a microwave and a little mini fridge
and that is how I lived for my first nine
ish months in La and then I moved to another
(31:33):
studio park.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
I kind of moved all around.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
I lived in Korea Town for a while, and then
Frog Town and Glassel Park and yeah, I've lived all over.
But the bulk of my twenties, I would say was
was Hollywood, Los Fela's Korea Town.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Interesting but also great location for a young rising advisor
Scotch actress like, oh, yeah, we're so close. I'm sure
you spent many nights at Birds in La Poop Belle,
and it was, you know.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
I did.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
I was at Birds constantly and uh, to this day,
when I go in there, I have a real I
don't know if you if you'll experienced this when you
visit a place you used to frequent in your twenties
and where you may or may not have made some
bad decisions. Yeah, but I go in and I have
a real sense memory experience of like, whoa, this takes
(32:27):
me back to a time and a version of me
that I no longer am, but is But she's in
there somewhere.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
It's yes, I think I have a feeling about Welcome
to the Johnson's for the Oh god, yeah, yeah, yeah,
that was the Lower East Side, which was set up
to look like like a divorced dad's nineteen seventies basement.
I think three dollar PVRs at the time, or maybe
(32:58):
too yeah, I think it was.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Can you imagine? Can you those days are long gone?
Speaker 1 (33:04):
No, they still have like four dollars PBRs or something
like that. It's crazy.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
I recently went by. I was like, that's crazy. How's
that happening? They probably have a twenty five year lease.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
But sometimes there's a bar here that I used to
go to back in like twenty twelve, twenty thirteen for
just work drinks because it's in the middle of the city.
I won't name it because I'm going to dunk on
one of the bartenders. But no, I went back like
I got four months ago for the first time in
a long time, first time since probably pandemic, and one
(33:38):
of the bartenders was still there.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
And Triple Crowd.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
No, but triple God, No, Triple Crowd. That's in Manhattan. No,
this was in l oh oh Okay. But it was
like center of the city, kind of like a wee
hoo area, And I was like, oh, this is always
a good place to meet. And I always wonder. I
was like, I wonder what happened to that person? They
were fun and interesting, they were in a band all stuff,
and then they were I walked in and there they were,
(34:01):
and I remembered their name, and I like had a
couple of drinks and had a work meeting, and I
was just like, it was sort of heartbreaking because I
had built a narrative in my life of this person's
band's gonna make it and stuff. Yeah, sometimes going back
is rough.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
It very true, It's really true.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Oh, I'll just finish this one up for you. So, yeah,
they pulled the steak out. It was cooked one hundred
and twenty degrees fahrenheit the entire way through. He said,
he rested it for twenty minutes, cut off the plastic
so it wouldn't cook any further, seasoned it as he
normally was, and he said it was one of the
best steaks he ever had. And he said, mind you,
(34:43):
I didn't put soap in the wash, just in case
it will Yeah, to create the bag. He clarified, thank
you for it.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Might you know what, it might actually have made the
meat like tender because as I understand it, like the
water hits a pretty like hard in there. So maybe
it was just like of tenderizing it the whole time.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Interesting, It would be funny if the water in the
washing machine just kind of wiggled around over Yeah, just kind.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
Of around, doesn't do anything like we've all been taken.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
For a ride.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Just one of those wacky wild arm from a lawn inside.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Yeah, just kind of gently bats it around. I here's
the thing. Sure he didn't put soap in this active wash,
but there's gotta be soup residue all over that dishwasher.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Oh hell yeah, this guy's eating soap and plastic.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
He loves it.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
He thinks loves its. Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
He's this ship.

about what's going on.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
So understandably, so strong, everybody.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Here's a fun one. Emma Edwards is thumbing herself way
up in Sydney, Australia. It's not Kenya, but it's still
a very cool country.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
But now, since Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere, are
those thumbs up?
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Then thumbs down?
Speaker 2 (37:00):

go to the hospital for three days, including having an
operation after a spider bit her on her finger.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Oh my god, there is a real Australia.

Yes, it is Wow, that's crazy. Also, probably didn't bury
her in a medical cost, so that's congratulations.
Speaker 1 (37:48):

days in the hospital here in America, it is because
you're dying.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Exactly did she say what kind of spider it was?
Speaker 2 (37:57):
She didn't say what kind of spider it was. Ly

Speaker 1 (41:28):
On CBS, speaking of c thank you. Sea Serpent chases
vessel and kindly style. This is from nineteen oh three
and I found it and I'm very excited about it.
This is this is how it goes. So top line
Sea serpent chases vessel in kindly style. Subhead, this monster
(41:50):
is real, amiable, sort of freak. Just keep in pace.
Next next subhead has very wide smile that is all
in caps. Nothing else is all in caps.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
Yeah, teeth teeth, Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
And then next subhead length one twenty feet, beam twenty
and constant grin about half a mile. I have no
idea how here it is. March thirteenth, nineteen oh three,
at eight pm Thursday, March twenty, March twelfth, latitude twenty
two oh six north, longitude seventy four to twenty one west,
(42:25):
one half mile off starboard bows cited strange marine monster.
It appeared and followed ship all night. Friday. At nine am,
monster crossed our bows reduced speed to five knots This
is an official entry on the log of the Admiral Farragut,
a fruit steamer. Hello new Words, Hello new Words, which
(42:46):
appeared today from Port Antonio with a cargo of bananas
and several passengers.
Speaker 3 (42:54):
Alright, wait, that's us.
Speaker 1 (42:57):
That's us, records the appearance of the sea serpent in
nineteen oh three. Everybody on the ship agrees the strange
marine monster mentioned in the log was a real sea serpent.
It followed the ship at intervals up to yesterday morning.
When the Admiral Farragut was off Hatteras. Three different times
it crossed the bow of the steamer and speed was reduced.
(43:19):
The serpent is described as one hundred and fifty feet long,
which because right above it says one hundred and twenty
feet long. Yeah, they're drunk, and then twenty feet in
diameter and having a flat pointed head decorated with two
curved horns each five feet way. Yeah, this is great.
Speaker 3 (43:38):
Wait, twenty feet in diameter.
Speaker 1 (43:41):
Yeah, No, twenty feet in diameter, one hundred feet lawn, flathead,
two curved horns. Wait, no, what is this?
Speaker 3 (43:52):
It is this just another boat?
Speaker 2 (43:55):
Yeah, it's another boat at the first marine.
Speaker 1 (44:01):
Yeah, god, it was light blue in color and had
no fins above the water line. Beautiful the monster, Captain,
the monster, Captain Mad, his passengers and crew, Captain toe Mad.
Speaker 2 (44:17):
Yes, I love a forty.
Speaker 1 (44:23):
I was born in August. That's the time for Toemados.
It would be almost lost to sight a stern. Suddenly
it would overhaul the ship, as though the vessel were
standing still. Several times they say the monster approached thirty
feet of the vessel, and everybody got an excellent view
of it. There's nothing. There was nothing sinister or vicious
(44:43):
about the sea serpents appearance. Accring to the observers, it
had a good natured face, yeah, and continually wore a smile.
When it raised its head high out of the water,
wiggled its horns and rimmed. Seagoers had to laugh. They
are having a blast out there. It's wiggling its horns
(45:07):
and laughing.
Speaker 2 (45:08):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (45:10):
Ugh, it keeps going on, but it's just more insanity.
Speaker 2 (45:14):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (45:15):
I can't imagine what it is. Flatthead looks like it's
got two horns. You think maybe flathead. You're thinking like,
maybe it's a squid, a giant squid.
Speaker 2 (45:23):
Yeah, why wouldn't it be a sea monster. I believe
that they're still there right now.
Speaker 1 (45:29):
Oh, definitely.
Speaker 2 (45:30):
The ocean is so scary.
Speaker 4 (45:32):
Oh it's and it's so big, and we don't know,
we don't know anything.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
Did you see that thing that they recently found. I
don't know, maybe it was like within the last year,
but it was it was like an rov like an
unmanned little guy, a little robot. I was down right
near it, like a drill site, so it was like
thousands and thousands of feet down okay, and floating there
(45:57):
was just this thing that looked like imagine do you
remember the the little disposable things that you would use
to play forty fives on record players?
Speaker 2 (46:07):
Yeah? Weird?
Speaker 3 (46:08):
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (46:10):
So it looked kind of like that shape and it
was just floating, and then all of a sudden it
went from that shape to just a circle, and then
from that shape to like an octopus, and then from
that shape to like a ball with light traveling out
along its lines, and then just came like right up
to the fucking thing. Then like the rov it shape shifter,
(46:34):
it was a shape shift, one hundred percent shape shifter,
and it changed like like that and like move vaunicating
I don't know, but lights were like going up the side.
It's the craziest thing I've ever seen, and no one's
ever seen it before. Nobody knows what it is.
Speaker 2 (46:47):
And they'll never see it again, just like the Sea spo.
Speaker 3 (46:52):
Yeah, it had a good natured smile on.
Speaker 1 (46:56):
Wiggling his horns.
Speaker 3 (46:58):
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle.
Speaker 2 (47:00):
There's a great book about the shark attacks in New
Jersey and the God.
Speaker 1 (47:05):
Nineteen five sixteens.
Speaker 2 (47:07):
Yeah, it was early nineteen hundreds and it's called Yeah.
Speaker 1 (47:10):
Closest based on Jaws, Based on it right.
Speaker 2 (47:13):
Written by this dude, Michael Capuzzo. It's a fun it's
a really well written book, and it's like a fictionalized
account of real attacks that happened, including two or three
attacks that happened up a freshwater river.
Speaker 1 (47:25):
Baby.
Speaker 2 (47:25):
So yeah, wait a.
Speaker 4 (47:26):
Minute, I think I've heard I've heard this. I might
have heard it on my favorite murder they cover.
Speaker 2 (47:32):
The Oh really did this story?
Speaker 3 (47:34):
Yes? Okay, because it sounds so so.
Speaker 1 (47:36):
One of the attacks happened in spring Light, where I
went to grammar school.
Speaker 3 (47:41):
You went to grammar school in a la stop it.
Speaker 1 (47:44):
I did not do anything to stop it.
Speaker 2 (47:48):
Setting So the funniest part, the part that sticks out
to me is so back then, a lot of people
couldn't swim. A lot of people can't swim now actually,
but back then swimming was so privileged. Yeah, that people
would show off they swim, and they'd be like, watch
me swim around this bowie and he would walk outside
and watch it. And one of these guys there was
(48:09):
a boat and it was like a party boat. Everybody's
out off the Jersey shore. They're drinking, they're having a
merry time, and a great white shark starts swimming next
to the boat and they're like, this thing was thirty
feet long.
Speaker 3 (48:24):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (48:25):
So back then before everything was over fish and there
were boats in every direction, it's like, shit, probably did
get rially. Sure, Oh yeah, I was killing right thing.
Speaker 1 (48:33):
Right.
Speaker 2 (48:34):
So this guy who was like the famous I'm sure
kind of like the Steverwin crocodile hunter, but more like
the Johnny Knoxville of his day, like an amateur stunt
man sort of.
Speaker 3 (48:46):
Oh boy, was fearless.
Speaker 2 (48:48):
Yes, So there was no such thing as a shark attack.
Nobody had ever heard of a shark attack. Nobody.
Speaker 1 (48:53):
Nobody's swimming exactly.
Speaker 2 (48:56):
And so this guy, in front of all these rich
patrons and and debutants, takes off his stuff and to
prove his point that sharks don't attack people, jumps off
the moving boat and body slams into the shark and
the shark, Oh there's another sharks that appeared, but he
and he scared them all away, and then he swims back.
(49:17):
And then it was written that sharks do not eat
people because that guy proved it doing a cannon ball
off a boat and scaring them away.
Speaker 1 (49:26):
Oh, that's fascinating. So it's that guy who then everybody's like,
all right, it's time to fuck with sharks exactly.
Speaker 2 (49:32):
And then the book opens with it was the son
of a Philadelphia dentist, and he and a dog goes
swimming out around it. Bully, yes, like the woman he's
engaged with is watching it on the way back in,
gets attacked and killed bad shark, and they wrote it
up as a sea turtle.
Speaker 1 (49:47):
Oh what they just couldn't believe that it was a shark.
Speaker 2 (49:52):
Exactly. That's amazing, And so I'm bringing it all back around.
I think it was the sea serpent that did it, Yes,

Speaker 1 (00:06):
I was hoping you'd say that paralyzed man communicates first
words in month using brain implant quote. I want a beer?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Okay, all right, I can relate to this, so so
heavily bottoms up. It's a brand new episode of Bananas.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
I sat world understand.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Would you believe.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
It's your livesillion pieces? Would you believe?
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Baa baaa? Guys, gals, non binary pals, Welcome to Bananas.
I'm Kurt Brown older.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I am Banana BOYD number two. Thank you for listening
to the silliest little podcast there ever was. Kurt, I
want to dedicate this episode to Kenya, to the nation
of Kenya.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
I'm ready to dedicate to Kenya.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
And I'm sure we have listeners that are at least
of Kenyan descent. If not in Kenya listening, that would
be fantastic. But we'll take you wherever we can get you.
Over the weekend yesterday actually I went and saw International
rugby tournament with John Gabris, who's a friend of our
guests also, and Kenya did not win men's or women's
(01:31):
but they placed like top five, but they celebrated the
entire day like they won the whole thing. We went
sat with them, we were drinking Tusker beers. By the
end of it, I'm like, I'm the most pro Keny
guy in the world. Shout out to our Kenyan bananimals.
If you exist, we love you.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Oh that sounds fantastic. I wish I was there. What
was it? What sports?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Sorry, rugby, the rugby being two different types of rugby,
but it's international. It's down in Carson. It's where the
La Galaxy soccer team normal plays. And I've gone maybe
ten years in a row with Gabrius who played in college.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
But let's bring on our guests enough too, ah right,
because she's a friend. Our guest today was voted our
best one by Humanity Magazine, and laught Giggle dot com
named her the funniest person of the last twelve thousand years.
She's an actress, she's a writer, she's a comedian, and
you've definitely seen her and heard her in movies and
(02:32):
shows like Ghosts, The Good Place, New Girl, Mike and
Dave Need, Wedding Dates, Night, Bitch Physical. Basically, she's everywhere
and now we're lucky to have her own bananas. Please
welcome the great Mary Holland.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Hello, twelve thousand years I had no idea.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yeah, it's I didn't.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Get a plaque or they didn't notify me in any way.
This is the person hearing about it.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
It's the funniest thing since that, since corn was domesticated.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Congratulations, oh man, thank you for having me.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I'm so excited to be here.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Oh god, it's a pleasure. It's a treat. We've wanted
to have you on for a little while now. But yeah,
the world just keeps getting crazier. So really, anytime you
come on, it's going to be a little more bananas
than it was even two days ago.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Well that's great because I'm looking for Max Banana. That's
you know me, that's right, Banana to the.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Max, living the dream, and then you do you do
so many different things. I was looking at your IMDb
and the list is incredible. But I did notice that
your first credit as an actor is one of the
great credits of all time. You were screaming woman in
something called twenty four or twenty four seconds. Maybe do
(03:56):
you remember this?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Uh? Yes, I remember. It was a friend did.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
It was like, was it a twenty four spoof?
Speaker 4 (04:05):
It was exactly, that's exactly right, that's exactly right. And
I did play a screaming woman, and you know, it's
it's so nice when you play a character and you
know who the character is based off the description alone,
you know, because you play a character named Maggie and
you're like, well, Maggie could be anybody, but you know,
(04:28):
play a character named screaming woman and you know her,
you know her right away.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
You know it's right. But also first credit, it probably
felt pretty good.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
It felt amazing.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Get the ball roll.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Get on IMDb.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
That is it's a huge it's a huge accomplishment.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I feel like I think like because I just looked
at like a character list for a script we had written,
because I just hadn't thought about it, and I just
every you know, everything numbered out, and then one of
them is just shady Junkie. And I was like, I
don't want anybody to audition for shady Junkie, you know,
so like I think I'm going to change it to
like Junkie Bill or something, but like just shady Junkie
(05:14):
is just like, oh come on.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Now, sure, sure, but again it does communicate the character.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
To Mary's point, it's describing what they need for that movie.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
So it will help the actors with their audition because
they know what type of junkie they're playing.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Kurt, I just looked yours up just so I don't
ever like to anybody to feel left out. Your first credit,
Kurt is from scroll Wheel of Time. It was a
TV series and in one episode you played an SS office.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Oh my god, that is that is honestly something that
never came out, So I don't and it wasn't. It
wasn't my first thing either, so that I only shot
that like maybe six or seven years ago.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Oh I'm sorry, Okay, well all right, well there you go.
I still like that SS officer.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
I'm shocked that I haven't played more Nazis in period
pieces because I'm definitely my My opening joke when I
first started stand up was, I know, I look like
the IT guy from the Nazis. But now I can't
even do that joke because real Nazis are everywhere.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I don't like them.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I'm against them, against them, we are anti Nazi.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
On bananas, I agree, I agree, it takes It takes
bravery encourage to say these kind of things. But we
are anti Nazi crazy. The podcast that is called Banana
Bananas kurty B tell us about this old beer chip
in the brain.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Oh dude, this is great. This just came out today.
This was in The Independent and I found out about
it from science memes.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
That sounds like a real sight. Seems real all of
a sudden.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
No, I had to look it up and look it
up to make sure it was real. But it is.
This was written by Anthony Cuthbertson, who is a lot
of people say is the best in the viz chit
chatting about beer plants. Here we goes. Paralyzed man communicates
first words in months using brain implant. I want a beer.
(07:22):
A completely paralyzed man who was left unable to communicate
for months after losing the ability to even move his
eyes has used a brain implant to ask his caregivers
for a beer, composing sentences at a rate of just
one character per minute. The man also asked to listen
to the band Tool Loud, requested a head massage from
(07:43):
his mother, and ordered a curry, all through the power
of thought. The man who's now thirty six, had two
square electrode arrays surgically implanted into his brain to facilitate
communication in March twenty nineteen after being left in a
lock in state as a result of ameotrophic lateral sclerosis,
(08:06):
which is less So I'm sorry this is actually from
twenty twenty two. I had no idea. I don't know
why I never saw it before. People suffering from the
progressive neurogenitive disease have an average life expectancy after diagnosis
of two to five years, although they can live much longer.
The late physicist Stephen Hawking lived another fifty five years
(08:26):
after his diagnosis, relying towards the end of his life
on a communication device controlled by a single cheek muscle.
Until now, a brain implant has not been tested on
a completely locked in patient, and it was not known
whether communication was even possible for people who had lost
all voluntary muscular control. Quote. Ours is the first study
to achieve communication by someone who has no remaining voluntary movement,
(08:49):
and hence for whom the BCI is now the sole
means of communication, said Jonas Zimmerman, a senior neuroscientist at
the Wife's Center. This study answers a long standing question
about whether pe people with complete locked in syndrome who
have lost all voluntary muscle control, including movement of eyes
or mouth, also lose the ability of their brain to
generate commands for communications. It took three.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Months of its huh uh, huh, it took three months.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Uh. It took three months of unsuccessful attempts before configuration
was achieved that allowed the patient to use brain signals
to produce a binary response to a speller program, answering
yes or no when presented with letters. AH. Took another
three weeks to produce the first sentences, and over the
next year, the patient produced dozens of sentences. One of
his earliest communications concerned his care asking for his head
(09:45):
to be kept in an elevated and straight position when
there were visitors in the room. He also requested different
kinds of foods to be fed that's great. He was
also able to interact with his four year old son
and wife, generating the message I love my cool son,
Oh my.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
God, Oh that's amazing, the son's cool, or yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Just you just never meet a cool four year old?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
You never do, you never do. And the reason I
want to cry is I was like, oh, man, I
wish my four year old was cool.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Yeah, like most four year olds are like uptight you know, business.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
People, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yeah, up tight, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Look at that. Look at that a good news, good
news of the future. Look at that a rare good
news of the future, folks.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
I still don't think I totally understand how how it
translates thought to letter, but but hey, I'm no nervous.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
He literally he thinks it. So there's a program that
just goes a B in everything, so A and he
goes no be or he thinks no be, he thinks no,
C thinks no until it gets to the letter he
wants and he says and thinks yes for like I,
And that lights up.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
A different part of your brain when you think no
or yes or.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I get yeah or that yeah yes, I don't know.
We look Well, there's a way to know. Is the
real answer you're looking for?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Mary?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
No one knows other than Steven Weiss at the Weiss's Center.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Pretty amazing. Also, okay, and I'm not trying to be crude.
I'm not even going for a laugh. But do they
give this guy a beer? And do they can they
give this guy a beer. Do they think they call
a beer with this guy? Does this guy get a
beer funnel?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I think he can. Yeah, give this guy a beer.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Give this guy a beer.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Definitely, at the least a beer.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
It's also cool if they did blast the band tool
in his room, and then another patient down the room communicated,
please turn that music down, and pretty all the same
problems of people who are not yes, it locked up.
It's like they're still just like, turn it down. I
hate this pan.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Yeah, turn it down.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
And hey, don't you know leave your laundry in the dryer?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Please please, Like all the regular problems.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
It feels like a Black Mirror episode, and it feels
like every scary movie writer in Los Angeles sat down
to write their version of this, where like the greatest
detective is solving a crime but he has to say
no no no, no, no, no no no no yes.
That would be yeah, thrilling, very.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Thrilling, very thrilling.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Speaking of the Black Mirror, have you guys watched this
new season? Is no so upsetting on like or The
first episode is one of the most upsetting hours of television.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Ever seen.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
It is so difficult, it's really I mean, it's well
made some time.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
You know, the the episode that the first episode that
gave it in my mind, it's like, this is the
most anxiety producing episode of television I've ever seen, and
that is the Night Of.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Oh yeah, which one is that about?
Speaker 2 (13:19):
HBO?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Tough?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
That?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Oh that show Night.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Of couldn't handle it?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Oh that that was a great show.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
But you're saying Black Mirror is upsetting in a similar way,
in an anxiety way or just or.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
It it's sad. It's anxiety but also a sadness and
a scary almost a scariness, not in a horror way,
but in an idea way for that. And that's just
for the first episode of this new season, wow, which
features Rashida Jones and she's excellent.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Yeah, but it also features Sabrina Jalise who's pod and
Lisa Gilroy who's been a guest on Bananas. So there's
some moments among the dark moments, and that's what we
got to take away from this.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
There's a couple loose bananas in there.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yes, and Mary, I hope you do get Casso on
next season of Black Mirror. So in just the saddest,
darkest episode, I would love it, thought, Yeah, But.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Mary Holland was on it, and Wow, she really upset us.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Wouldn't that be nice?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I didn't know she had that later darkness too.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
She does, what's the darkest thing You've ever had to act?
Speaker 5 (14:32):
In?
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Mary?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
I did have to.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
I had to run from a killer in a movie
called Maggie Moore's which is it's actually based on a
true story of these two women who lived in a
small Texas town and one of them I can't remember
in the real story who exactly did this, but someone
(14:59):
in her life hired a hitman to kill her and
then he accidentally killed the other woman by the same name.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
So that So it's a movie that came out that's
directed by John Slattery, and my character this isn't a
spoiler very early on gets it.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Oh are you the person who gets killed? Yeah, you're
the one with the wrong name.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
I'm one of the wrong name.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
So I was, uh so, But there was a whole
scene or sequence where I was running from this man
who was pursuing me and had to like really let
her rip and scream and terror and like bang on
doors and try to I ran into this motel thing.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
It was.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
That was Yeah, I think that's probably the darkest, okay.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
And also I mean like you because you're a very
good actor, so like you are actually experience. It's seing
these things, right, Why are you? Are you genuinely terrified
in those moments?
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Well?
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Especially yes, and especially when it's that interesting thing that
happens where if.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
You if you physically.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Dial into what what your body does when you're upset,
like for example, if you start breathing shallowly and you
start like you know, shaking, or it will create those
emotions in the same way those emotions create those physical symptoms.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
And so just running and screaming and like it did.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
It was uh yeah, I was able to tap into
my primal fear.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yeah. Do you work that way a lot? Do you do?
You go body first?
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Oh gosh, well, I get I don't really think about it.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
I guess I do. I guess. I guess some physicality
is such.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
A fun way into a into a point of view
that I guess I do. I I've never been that
intentional about it, but but I am a pretty physical
comedian if you've ever seen me.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Slip on appeal. I remember reading an interview with Bill Irwin.
He was a very famous clown who was then in.
He was in Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf with the
woman from Honeymoon Moonlighters. Uh, Sibil No, not Sybil Shepherd,
(17:31):
the other one. I thought you were going, Oh it
might have been Sybil Shepherd. Yeah, look it up.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
He was in.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
He was on Broadway and I remember that they were
he would uh, he just talked about what he would
do physically with his body before stepping out on stage.
And he was like, this guy is he's hollowed out
it from the center. Kathleen Turner was Kathleen Turner, Bill Irwin,
My god, I would I mean it was so good
(17:57):
and he would like hollow out, bring his shoulder forward
and bring his stomach in before he liked and then
they would tap their their wedding rings you know, because
they have like prop wedding rings on. Yeah, and they
would like tap them together right before I walked out
on stock And it was like, Oh, that's what that's
a real actor. Like whatever I've been doing is bullshit
(18:21):
compared to what this fucking clown does.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
He's so good, Like literally this clown. Wow, God, I
would have loved to have seen that.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I know.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Yeah, so fun.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
You know the thing that we all did when we
were kids, where you would be behind the sofa and
you'd pretend you were walking down the stairs to make
your parents laugh, Like you know, he just kind of
lower as you go. Well, I saw that was Bill
Erwin on the Cosby Show did his act and he
got in a chest and he just walked back and
forth down and then Rudy and all the other kids
did it too, And my little brain was like, this
(18:55):
is it. This is the peak of comedy. I shall
never have to look further. I'm four years old, I
am not cool. I am a little businessman, and this,
to me, this steamer trunk walking down the stairs is
number one Mount Everest of comedy. Yes, that had a
big impact in my life, is what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Of course. And you've been you've been, you know, attempting
to to yourself.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Steamer trunk, that is what it is.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
You've been chasing that dragon, that ship, steamer trunk dragon.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
That's why it's called a steamer trunk.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Finally, someone things, I see you. I have one for you, guys. Married,

great cook, but so I sort of.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
You know what I'm Caramelo. She's not your granddad's journalist.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Advice created one of the worst far right in cells
of the world.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Well, that's one way to do it. If you're too
lazy to grill a steak for dinner this summer. And
who has the time, guys? That takes seven or eight minutes? Yeah, Max,
come on, who has the time. I'm so busy with
these phones ubering everywhere. You can always just toss it
in your dishwasher for a while, at least, according to
(22:37):
the co host of the Barbecue Culture podcast. In a
viral Instagram clip those are the Best Kind posted under
under Seasoned Barbecue podcast, co host Simon Luxton detailed his
strange idea to prepare a steak sue ved style in
the dishwasher.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Knew it, I knew it. It was gonna steam it.
It's going to steam it.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yeah, yeah, you know what. Here's my question about the souvie.
Like everybody is now worried and concerned about how many,
how much microplastics are in our brain. Great, and yet
for so long people are like, here's what you do. No, no, no, listen,
don't cook it on the stove. You put it in
a plastic bag and then you boil it for hours.
(23:23):
Get all that plastic right into the meat.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
That's what makes it tender. That's what all that moisture
is is this. It's plastic.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
It's plastic, right, And what's more tender than swallowing slow
roasted to ease into the bloodstream same temperatures human blood plastics. So, however,
he did not expect the outcome that he got steak
cooked in a dishwasher. We're gonna post on the April Fools,
(23:52):
but it turned out so delicious we had to scramble
and make tofu ribs for April Fool's Day instead.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
So they may speak ambled eggs in it too.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
They can. You can scramble legs. You can anything in
your dishwasher, is what we're going. Yeah, throw your oven
out the window. We really didn't think this would work,
he aded, but it did. It really really did, and
we wish it hadn't. In the video, lux And explains
(24:22):
the process of testing the idea that you can sue
eat a steak in the dishwasher, which basically entails vacuum
ceiling a slab of meat and cooking it in temperature
controlled water. This thing went in the dishwasher for an
hour and a half and I did not want it
to work. He said. That makes two of us. He added,
I wanted, oh, sorry, that's what the author said. That
(24:45):
makes two of us. Why is that the subjective?
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Why does everyone not want this to work? I mean,
this is this is what a what a tree know?
Speaker 4 (25:00):
This?
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Yeah, that's right. I wanted to fucking debunk this myth.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
He added, Man, these guys are so punk rock about
cooking Star, so I know it's like, wow, they're so
alt so like god.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I feel a little scared reading this.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
So do you remember vices Vice's dues and don'ts the.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Best the best part of the magazine?
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:25):
I don't remember that. What is it?
Speaker 1 (25:27):
It would just have pictures of people on the street
and they would just make fun of their fashion.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
I was probably featured.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
And publish pictures of human beings and be like, look
at this fucking idiot.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Yeah, they really did, and they were. But sometimes the
dws I would look at him like one guy was
just in him basically like a fitted bed sheet, had
like a crown, but he was wearing black Chuck tailors
tied correctly, and the DW was like, no matter how
crazy your fit is, if you ground it with a
(26:02):
pair of Chuck Taylors, everybody will assume you did it
on purpose. And I was looking at him like that's
really true.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Yeah, but I have a question, Scottie, yep, what is
the correct way to tie black chucks? I didn't know
about this.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Oh, you know, they just weren't like they weren't crazy
giant like neon loopy laces. It was just like he
was wearing them like a like you or me would
tie on a pair of tennishoes, not yea, not looped
anything fancy. But it did ground the guy. And the
guy was like wearing a sandwich but dressed in the
craziest ensemble you could find it a dumpster. And you
(26:38):
were like, I think this was a choice.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
I think, yeah, I mean this is a good It's
a good lesson in fashion because you really just need
to have one assessor. Yeah that is that is done correctly.
So you could be totally nude.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
But if you have a tie that is tied.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
In a perfect winds or not, suddenly suddenly it's a statement.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Yeah, well that my kids preschool graduation.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
I used to be really into like fashion ship when
I was in my twenties, really really weirdly. I like,
you know, I was dating like a fashionista person, and
so she would like get me stuff, and I'd be like,
all right, I'm gonna try this. I remember one I had.
I don't even know if you you might remember this, Gutty.
I think we were at a New Year's party. But
(27:32):
I had a holster, like a holster that I would
wear like it was a shoulder holster for like an
undercover cop to have a gun in. But instead it
just had like my wallet and my phone.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Oh my god, wait would this be would this be
under your jacket or would you would you know?
Speaker 1 (27:54):
I just had just I had a button up T
shirt and a button up shirt, a fucking under the.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Like a detective who just got into the off break.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
But he doesn't have a gun. He's just got a no, no, no,
and probably a little bit of molly.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Every homicide detective does.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Cool cop. I do remember that, but I think I
had blacked that out. But I do remember that.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
We ended up walking home in the snow. I think
that party because like we couldn't get a car that era.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Mary, Were you living in New York in the No.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
No, no, Unfortunately, I feel like I missed out on
a big.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Moment in time. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
And in Brooklyn around two thousand and five ish' it's
it is different than Silver Lake and Highland Park is now.
It was Williamsburg. Brooklyn felt like the absolute epicenter of hipsterdom, really,
to the point where Joe Mandy wrote look at this
fucking hipster and like Vice was right in Williamsburg as
a part of this. But I told the story such
(29:02):
a long time ago. But I literally saw somebody sitting
at a brunch in a fitted sheet on Bedford Avenue
once as like an outfish, and I was like, and
it was show's moved from Ohio. Be the weirdest person
you can for four years, get your heart broken, move
back to Ohio and be a north person for the
rest of your life.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Get your heartbroken. That is a must. That's we're Williamsburg.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
It wasn't even a romance heartbroken. It was just your
heart broken. And how difficult it was to do laundry
in New York City.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Oh god it was. I had huge mutton chops, which
is well.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
He really did, he really did.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
They were awful.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
I bet you looked like an eighteenth century steel baron.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
I did. He did? I did Jasper burnsides. It was like,
I don't you just moved there, And You're like, well,
I gotta do something dumb.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Take a swing. You gotta take a swing.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Where did you live in your twenties, Mary, I.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Lived in Los Angeles. I lived right here in.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
La Where what part.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Oh. I lived, Oh.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
My gosh, across the street from the UCB Theater. That
bright cis is a brigade theater on Franklin.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
You lived at the you lived at the Church of Scientology.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
I lived there. I lived there.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
That's interesting.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Rinth was expensive.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
It was my whole identity three years of service. No,
but it was down that little side street. There was
an apartment building and it was called the Shangri Lodge.
And it was anything but it was. It was rough stuff,
but it was, uh, you know, we're right past our window.
(30:45):
In one of the hallways you would overlook the one
o one it was. I remember like standing by that
window once and I saw.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
A crash on the one to one happen. Wow.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
But my apartment there was really quite a bummer is.
It was a bachelor which means that it's well, it's
a studio with no kitchen, so so.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Essentially it's really rude.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
So I there was one sink to wash your hands
and brush your teeth and then also to clean your dishes.
I had a hot plate that I would cook on
in a in a microwave and a little mini fridge
and that is how I lived for my first nine
ish months in La and then I moved to another
(31:33):
studio park.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
I kind of moved all around.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
I lived in Korea Town for a while, and then
Frog Town and Glassel Park and yeah, I've lived all over.
But the bulk of my twenties, I would say was
was Hollywood, Los Fela's Korea Town.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Interesting but also great location for a young rising advisor
Scotch actress like, oh, yeah, we're so close. I'm sure
you spent many nights at Birds in La Poop Belle,
and it was, you know.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
I did.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
I was at Birds constantly and uh, to this day,
when I go in there, I have a real I
don't know if you if you'll experienced this when you
visit a place you used to frequent in your twenties
and where you may or may not have made some
bad decisions. Yeah, but I go in and I have
a real sense memory experience of like, whoa, this takes
(32:27):
me back to a time and a version of me
that I no longer am, but is But she's in
there somewhere.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
It's yes, I think I have a feeling about Welcome
to the Johnson's for the Oh god, yeah, yeah, yeah,
that was the Lower East Side, which was set up
to look like like a divorced dad's nineteen seventies basement.
I think three dollar PVRs at the time, or maybe
(32:58):
too yeah, I think it was.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Can you imagine? Can you those days are long gone?
Speaker 1 (33:04):
No, they still have like four dollars PBRs or something
like that. It's crazy.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
I recently went by. I was like, that's crazy. How's
that happening? They probably have a twenty five year lease.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
But sometimes there's a bar here that I used to
go to back in like twenty twelve, twenty thirteen for
just work drinks because it's in the middle of the city.
I won't name it because I'm going to dunk on
one of the bartenders. But no, I went back like
I got four months ago for the first time in
a long time, first time since probably pandemic, and one
(33:38):
of the bartenders was still there.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
And Triple Crowd.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
No, but triple God, No, Triple Crowd. That's in Manhattan. No,
this was in l oh oh Okay. But it was
like center of the city, kind of like a wee
hoo area, And I was like, oh, this is always
a good place to meet. And I always wonder. I
was like, I wonder what happened to that person? They
were fun and interesting, they were in a band all stuff,
and then they were I walked in and there they were,
(34:01):
and I remembered their name, and I like had a
couple of drinks and had a work meeting, and I
was just like, it was sort of heartbreaking because I
had built a narrative in my life of this person's
band's gonna make it and stuff. Yeah, sometimes going back
is rough.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
It very true, It's really true.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Oh, I'll just finish this one up for you. So, yeah,
they pulled the steak out. It was cooked one hundred
and twenty degrees fahrenheit the entire way through. He said,
he rested it for twenty minutes, cut off the plastic
so it wouldn't cook any further, seasoned it as he
normally was, and he said it was one of the
best steaks he ever had. And he said, mind you,
(34:43):
I didn't put soap in the wash, just in case
it will Yeah, to create the bag. He clarified, thank
you for it.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Might you know what, it might actually have made the
meat like tender because as I understand it, like the
water hits a pretty like hard in there. So maybe
it was just like of tenderizing it the whole time.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Interesting, It would be funny if the water in the
washing machine just kind of wiggled around over Yeah, just kind.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
Of around, doesn't do anything like we've all been taken.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
For a ride.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Just one of those wacky wild arm from a lawn inside.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Yeah, just kind of gently bats it around. I here's
the thing. Sure he didn't put soap in this active wash,
but there's gotta be soup residue all over that dishwasher.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Oh hell yeah, this guy's eating soap and plastic.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
He loves it.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
He thinks loves its. Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (35:43):

Here's a fun one. Emma Edwards is thumbing herself way
up in Sydney, Australia. It's not Kenya, but it's still
a very cool country.

her in a medical cost, so that's congratulations.
Speaker 1 (37:48):

days in the hospital here in America, it is because
you're dying.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Exactly did she say what kind of spider it was?
Speaker 2 (37:57):

This is this is how it goes. So top line
Sea serpent chases vessel in kindly style. Subhead, this monster
(41:50):
is real, amiable, sort of freak. Just keep in pace.
Next next subhead has very wide smile that is all
in caps. Nothing else is all in caps.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
Yeah, teeth teeth, Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
And then next subhead length one twenty feet, beam twenty
and constant grin about half a mile. I have no
idea how here it is. March thirteenth, nineteen oh three,
at eight pm Thursday, March twenty, March twelfth, latitude twenty
two oh six north, longitude seventy four to twenty one west,
(42:25):
one half mile off starboard bows cited strange marine monster.
It appeared and followed ship all night. Friday. At nine am,
monster crossed our bows reduced speed to five knots This
is an official entry on the log of the Admiral Farragut,
a fruit steamer. Hello new Words, Hello new Words, which
(42:46):
appeared today from Port Antonio with a cargo of bananas
and several passengers.
Speaker 3 (42:54):
Alright, wait, that's us.
Speaker 1 (42:57):
That's us, records the appearance of the sea serpent in
nineteen oh three. Everybody on the ship agrees the strange
marine monster mentioned in the log was a real sea serpent.
It followed the ship at intervals up to yesterday morning.
When the Admiral Farragut was off Hatteras. Three different times
it crossed the bow of the steamer and speed was reduced.
(43:19):
The serpent is described as one hundred and fifty feet long,
which because right above it says one hundred and twenty
feet long. Yeah, they're drunk, and then twenty feet in
diameter and having a flat pointed head decorated with two
curved horns each five feet way. Yeah, this is great.
Speaker 3 (43:38):
Wait, twenty feet in diameter.
Speaker 1 (43:41):
Yeah, No, twenty feet in diameter, one hundred feet lawn, flathead,
two curved horns. Wait, no, what is this?
Speaker 3 (43:52):
It is this just another boat?
Speaker 2 (43:55):
Yeah, it's another boat at the first marine.
Speaker 1 (44:01):
Yeah, god, it was light blue in color and had
no fins above the water line. Beautiful the monster, Captain,
the monster, Captain Mad, his passengers and crew, Captain toe Mad.
Speaker 2 (44:17):
Yes, I love a forty.
Speaker 1 (44:23):
I was born in August. That's the time for Toemados.
It would be almost lost to sight a stern. Suddenly
it would overhaul the ship, as though the vessel were
standing still. Several times they say the monster approached thirty
feet of the vessel, and everybody got an excellent view
of it. There's nothing. There was nothing sinister or vicious
(44:43):
about the sea serpents appearance. Accring to the observers, it
had a good natured face, yeah, and continually wore a smile.
When it raised its head high out of the water,
wiggled its horns and rimmed. Seagoers had to laugh. They
are having a blast out there. It's wiggling its horns
(45:07):
and laughing.
Speaker 2 (45:08):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (45:10):
Ugh, it keeps going on, but it's just more insanity.
Speaker 2 (45:14):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (45:15):
I can't imagine what it is. Flatthead looks like it's
got two horns. You think maybe flathead. You're thinking like,
maybe it's a squid, a giant squid.
Speaker 2 (45:23):
Yeah, why wouldn't it be a sea monster. I believe
that they're still there right now.
Speaker 1 (45:29):
Oh, definitely.
Speaker 2 (45:30):
The ocean is so scary.
Speaker 4 (45:32):
Oh it's and it's so big, and we don't know,
we don't know anything.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
Did you see that thing that they recently found. I
don't know, maybe it was like within the last year,
but it was it was like an rov like an
unmanned little guy, a little robot. I was down right
near it, like a drill site, so it was like
thousands and thousands of feet down okay, and floating there
(45:57):
was just this thing that looked like imagine do you
remember the the little disposable things that you would use
to play forty fives on record players?
Speaker 2 (46:07):
Yeah? Weird?
Speaker 3 (46:08):
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (46:10):
So it looked kind of like that shape and it
was just floating, and then all of a sudden it
went from that shape to just a circle, and then
from that shape to like an octopus, and then from
that shape to like a ball with light traveling out
along its lines, and then just came like right up
to the fucking thing. Then like the rov it shape shifter,
(46:34):
it was a shape shift, one hundred percent shape shifter,
and it changed like like that and like move vaunicating
I don't know, but lights were like going up the side.
It's the craziest thing I've ever seen, and no one's
ever seen it before. Nobody knows what it is.
Speaker 2 (46:47):
And they'll never see it again, just like the Sea spo.
Speaker 3 (46:52):
Yeah, it had a good natured smile on.
Speaker 1 (46:56):
Wiggling his horns.
Speaker 3 (46:58):
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle.
Speaker 2 (47:00):
There's a great book about the shark attacks in New
Jersey and the God.
Speaker 1 (47:05):
Nineteen five sixteens.
Speaker 2 (47:07):
Yeah, it was early nineteen hundreds and it's called Yeah.
Speaker 1 (47:10):
Closest based on Jaws, Based on it right.
Speaker 2 (47:13):
Written by this dude, Michael Capuzzo. It's a fun it's
a really well written book, and it's like a fictionalized
account of real attacks that happened, including two or three
attacks that happened up a freshwater river.
Speaker 1 (47:25):
Baby.
Speaker 2 (47:25):
So yeah, wait a.
Speaker 4 (47:26):
Minute, I think I've heard I've heard this. I might
have heard it on my favorite murder they cover.
Speaker 2 (47:32):
The Oh really did this story?
Speaker 3 (47:34):
Yes? Okay, because it sounds so so.
Speaker 1 (47:36):
One of the attacks happened in spring Light, where I
went to grammar school.
Speaker 3 (47:41):
You went to grammar school in a la stop it.
Speaker 1 (47:44):
I did not do anything to stop it.
Speaker 2 (47:48):
Setting So the funniest part, the part that sticks out
to me is so back then, a lot of people
couldn't swim. A lot of people can't swim now actually,
but back then swimming was so privileged. Yeah, that people
would show off they swim, and they'd be like, watch
me swim around this bowie and he would walk outside
and watch it. And one of these guys there was
(48:09):
a boat and it was like a party boat. Everybody's
out off the Jersey shore. They're drinking, they're having a
merry time, and a great white shark starts swimming next
to the boat and they're like, this thing was thirty
feet long.
Speaker 3 (48:24):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (48:25):
So back then before everything was over fish and there
were boats in every direction, it's like, shit, probably did
get rially. Sure, Oh yeah, I was killing right thing.
Speaker 1 (48:33):
Right.
Speaker 2 (48:34):
So this guy who was like the famous I'm sure
kind of like the Steverwin crocodile hunter, but more like
the Johnny Knoxville of his day, like an amateur stunt
man sort of.
Speaker 3 (48:46):
Oh boy, was fearless.
Speaker 2 (48:48):
Yes, So there was no such thing as a shark attack.
Nobody had ever heard of a shark attack. Nobody.
Speaker 1 (48:53):
Nobody's swimming exactly.
Speaker 2 (48:56):
And so this guy, in front of all these rich
patrons and and debutants, takes off his stuff and to
prove his point that sharks don't attack people, jumps off
the moving boat and body slams into the shark and
the shark, Oh there's another sharks that appeared, but he
and he scared them all away, and then he swims back.
(49:17):
And then it was written that sharks do not eat
people because that guy proved it doing a cannon ball
off a boat and scaring them away.
Speaker 1 (49:26):
Oh, that's fascinating. So it's that guy who then everybody's like,
all right, it's time to fuck with sharks exactly.
Speaker 2 (49:32):
And then the book opens with it was the son
of a Philadelphia dentist, and he and a dog goes
swimming out around it. Bully, yes, like the woman he's
engaged with is watching it on the way back in,
gets attacked and killed bad shark, and they wrote it
up as a sea turtle.
Speaker 1 (49:47):
Oh what they just couldn't believe that it was a shark.
Speaker 2 (49:52):
Exactly. That's amazing, And so I'm bringing it all back around.
I think it was the sea serpent that did it, Yes,
thank you, Okay, I.
Speaker 4 (50:00):
Think it was Yeah, that good natured smile is really
just menacing. Yeah, farming the charmings. Yeah, I mean tale
as old as time.

Don't give that shark your money, do not.
