Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, Scottie, Kurtie b I'm ready to laugh and off and.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Off researchers genetically altered fruitflies to make them crave cocaine.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
It probably didn't take that much. Probably could have just
given them cocaine that they would have. All right, we'll
get a sniff of this on a brand new bananas.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Do world understand?
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Would you cilion pieces? Would you?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Guys, gows, non binary pals, Welcome to bananas. Scottie Landis
is sitting right there over me, producer of Ma Too. Thanks,
just announced. Congratulations, Thank you, feels wonderful.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
That's the great Kurt Brown all over there. Yeah, thanks man,
that's I knew it was coming. Obviously, I wasn't allowed
to talk about it. And then, like all great things
in Hollywood, I found out from the deadline and variety announcements,
like I didn't find out from reps or studios or
but I knew it was coming. Very proud. Ama Too
(01:24):
is going to be in theater sometime hopefully this fall.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
That's exciting.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Yeah, it's very cool, and I'm glad to have created
a franchise, and I feel very blessed and lucky and
thank you to all the banannimals who have watched it
and sent me you know, them watching it and watching
it for the first time and all those things. It
actually worked out. So a sequel is being made.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
You created a franchise, dude. Not only did you get
a movie made that made so much money compared to
how much it was shot for. Yeah, that's right, which
is a incredibly hard to do. First an original movie,
an a original movie.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yeah that's right.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
And now it's a franchise. Oh it feels good, my god,
I mean like it is. It is a testament to
how hard you work and how talented you are.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Sir. Thank you. I really appreciate that. Again, thank you
to everybody saw it and loves it. And you know,
it came out five years ago. It came out May
thirty first, twenty nineteen, and five years later they finally
gree lit the sequel, So away we go. I'm happy
it has struck a nerve and stuck around and is
like a cult, campy movie for people, very exciting and yeah,
(02:40):
what a what a fun mixed I just feel like
actually happy because I'm not writing it. I'm like, boy,
I have no pressure to make this awesome. I just
have to sit back and cheer on the writer.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
And it's like people will go see it in the
theaters because they already like it.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Oh, and all actually enjoy seeing it in the theater,
just like at the premiere. I was my second time
even seeing it. So I you're watching it like, God,
is this good? They change that all this stuff, And
now I'm just going in. I know what the storyline is,
but I won't know anything. Yeah, I'll read the script
before it gets shot. But it'll be cool to go
(03:21):
in blind and just go, Okay, who did they past?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I know right what's happening? Uh, you have to if
they have a New York premiere, you know, oh go,
I want to go. I want to go. I want
you to fly out for it. But also if they
don't have a New York premiere, I will host a
Bananamal screening opening weekend.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Well that's all I want more. I was more flattered
when the first one came out. I was actually happier
about you guys all going and cheering and having a
great time and then reporting back to the theater. Loved it.
Then I was any other part of it, my favorite
part where my friend's just going and cheering and having
a great time. It really was.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
It's cool, man, it's good thanks to you. When something
in your mind takes on a life of its own,
it is so very neat and it's one of the
most satisfying things about being alive on planet Earth.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
It's true. And I just hope every movie I write
from here on out, if I ever get to make
another one, they're all just party based movies. I would
be very happy being the party guy for scary movies.
I mean The Machine was a party movie. Yeah, it like,
just really send me your drinking movies and I'm in,
I'll do it.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
I love that you're a.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Cool brand, a cool brand, and now that you and
I are huge influencers, just massive influencers. What a cool
brand to have. Yeah, for real, man, still not a
single liquor sponsor of the pod. But that's okay.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
What are liquor brand not allowed to advertise on podcasts?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Oh? For sure they are. Like so many people have
bud Light and get us Buzzballs. That's a woman owned company,
and we want those buzzballs.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
A woman owned company. Yeah, of course, have you seen
the large buzzballs have you seen those. Those are the
most upsetting things, and they are upset. We're just like,
how much sugar and hard liquor do you want? Well,
we've got it in a head sized container.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Damn right. And they're beautiful. They catch the eye. They're
definitely not marketed to teenagers and college students. Yeah, but
we love them just the same. Strange news and storytelling.
That's the Bananas Podcast. It's the silliest little podcast in
the world. Just thanks to all the Bananas out there
who support the pod. We love that you listen, send
(05:37):
us your stories, and now you can always also email
whatever you want to us. Ask us questions. We'll read
those on the air, and you can always physically mail us.
We love the usps at this podcast. And we have
a po box that is three nine three four eight,
Los Angeles, California, nine zero zero three to nine. Just
(05:58):
write that to the Anna boys or bananas. When I
go pick up packages the post the man that works
at the post office always goes bananas, all right and
then hands me them, so I think it makes them happy.
Doesn't pronounce a last name.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Come on, of course, it makes them happy.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
And it makes us happy to do it. What's the story, Curdie.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
B alrighty, here it is. This was in Popular Science,
one of my favorite that's a real one, seemingly fake magazines.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Right yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Researchers genetically altered fruit flies crave cocaine written by the
man with the most esoteric name ever, Andrew.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Paul Andy Paul, who sent this one in.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Just I found it. Yea, Andrew Paul is a best
in the bus when it comes to this stuff. In
really typing in a world first scientists University of Utah.
Why am I not surprised at Utah have an engineered
fruitflies susceptible to cocaine addiction. But as strange as it sounds,
there are potentially life saving reasons for genetically altering the
(07:08):
insects to crave the drug. The novel biological model could
help addiction treatment therapy development, to therapy's development, and expedite
research timelines. That's interesting, Okay. The findings are detailed in
the Journal of Neuroscience. As surprising as it may sound,
humans have a lot in common with fruitflies. In fact,
(07:30):
we share seventy to seventy five percent of the same
genes responsible for various diseases as well as many of
the same vital organs. What are they talking about?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah, no idea vital organs.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
First off, fruitflies have organs. I mean, are they saying
like they have eyes and stomachs and legs and that's it.
I don't even like, I can't even imagine a fruitfly's stomach.
Uh does a fruitfly have lungs? I don't think a
fruitfly has lungs.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
This god has a breath in something.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Hell he's talking about.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Researchers have relied on the insects for genetic studies for years,
especially for investigating the biological roots of certain addictions like
cocaine abuse. This is due in large part to the
fruitflies quick life cycle and it's comparatively simple genetic makeup.
But while scientists have administered the drug to the bugs
in the past, there's always been a small problem. Flies
(08:35):
don't like cocaine one bit. Where is where are all
these studies getting their cocaine? Where is that happening? Is
there is there pharmaceutical grade cocaine that we're not aware of?
And who's producing it?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Oh? Look, God, there's tons of it? Are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
There's so much talking about you.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Think so was made in a lab. It's a lab
made thing. Caine doesn't just grow on trees, trust me,
I've been abound so many trees lately. But it's really uh.
And but I'd be more curious of like how easy
it is to smuggle a little bit out if you're
one of the scientists make cooking that cocaine. I agree,
(09:17):
also pretty easy.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
But also like tip for like cocaine is is derived
from the cocoa plant, right for coca plant. Yeah, and
I and like I think a lot of the like
how do you make it in a lab? Is my
question because it usually being made like in a jungle
with gasoline and burnt you know, like it's a bunch
(09:39):
of different processes. But then do they try and recreate
what street cocaine is in the lab or is there
like is there a definitive definition of like this is
what makes makes up cocaine that they're trying to like
meet you know, okay, you're telling me.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
I don't know. Okay, I think all drugs And I
bet we have chemist ban animals. I'm sure we have
chemists ban animals. I bet they could just spout out
what the chemical combination is, what the compound is and
you'd like just combine these things and you have cocaine.
It's like, let's see you it's just like made a lab.
Just a guy.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Not cocaine is not that's the thing. Like meth. Meth's
made in a lab. You just make that with chemicals.
But cocaine is made from a plant. It is legitimately
made from a plant, right, right, So it's like it
is different in that way. So that's why I'm like,
you know, if it's just always been made kind of
by by people, you know in the debt and like
in the jungle, like, how are more chemicsts recreating it?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
You know? Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I don't know
to what cookbooks are for. I guess you know, do
you have a cookbook that you like? Like is there
one around your house that I feel like? Cookbooks are
the gift that you're so grateful, Like somebody gives you
a cookbook and like, oh this is awesome. You thumbed
through it and then you just put it on that
(10:59):
kitchen encounter and it just sits there for twenty five years.
Like yeah, yeah, then you always have one that you
go hard on, like real hard on.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I used to have a soups one that I really liked.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Hell yeah, now that's an answer. You had a soups
one that's great.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
I do make a lot of soups, actually weirdly I make.
I do. I enjoy making soups. I like to have
a soup around because it's so easy. It's got everything
right there, you know, especially for a lunch where you're like,
because I usually tend not to get up until I'm
so hungry. I'm angry at myself and that I just
want to have something I can quickly heat up and eat,
(11:39):
and all of it's it's like all the good things
are there in one place. So I make a ton
of soups brah. But I can't remember I can't remember
whose soup recipe book I use.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
So soup's great. I mean, I'm pro soup all the way,
are you? God? I love a soup. I feel like
it's an East Coast food and a Midwestern food. I
feel like the South and the West Coast just don't
get the love soup now. But I feel like soup
stands tall.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
You can go to any East Coast Midwest place and
there's stores. They're just whole shops. That are just like
this place is we sell soup and you could come
in and you can get a bowl of soup and
we got ten different types of soup and they're delicious
and they're really good. You come California, there's not a
goddamn single soup place in Los Angeles. I have looked.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, just Jewish Ellis it's the only place you can
go get different soups. But yeah, there's no There was
a soup plantation.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
There was a soup plantation with the worst name, and
they had a bunch of soups and it was like,
I hate this name. The soups are not good, but
I still am gonna go here.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
It was stewvery Yeah, you're like, don't do it please?
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Such a weird idea of all the names of all
the names were like we could it could be anything.
Could be soup gallery, it could be coup name, it
could be soup or market. It could be I'd be
there every day every day at super market.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Yeah, it's not that hard. Oh.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I remember once super super when I had the Australian girlfriend.
She told me about the first time she went to
the United States and they were traveling like in a
road trip and they got to like just a diner
in the middle of the country and they sat down,
they ordered something and the waitress was like, all right,
(13:25):
super salad. And they were like, oh, yes, yeah, sure,
and she's like super salad. They're like, yes, we would
like the super salad that she's like soup or salad. Yes,
they just thought it was super salad. Would would be
an American thing to create a super salad.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I would love it. I would eat a super salad
every day. I feel like I've put more money into
the Gelson Salad Bar out here than any other business
in Los Angeles, really, the one over where I used
to live, the one over more in like Silver Lake,
Los Phelis. I used to go there all the time,
and those salads it's like fourteen ninety nine a pound,
and I will make a pound salad and then every
(14:06):
time you're leaving, you're like, wow, a sixteen dollars salad.
This was a financial mistake. I could have bought the
individual ingredients and made three salads.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
I always would. I always think it's gonna be like
a real healthy choice. But then whenever I go to
the salad bar, there's always like a hot bar nearby
where you could just kind of pile on mac and cheese,
and so like, I keep making it really and then
I'm like, well, I deserve a little something something, and
then I'll PLoP some mac and cheese on top, and
all of a sudden, we're not having a healthy meal anymore.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
There are certain people in my life that would order
soup all the time, friends and ex girlfriends and stuff.
And one ex girlfriend, if there was French onion soup
on a menu, it wouldn't matter if it was a
place that should not be said, it wouldn't matter if
it was a pinkberry. She would order it. And it
was almost like an addiction. And I feel like that
saved freeness of French onion soup, the cheese, all of it.
(15:03):
It's delicious and I'm not dunking on it.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Oh, I know you're not dunking on it. It's one
of the best soups in the in the world.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
But every if it was on the menu, it was
happening all right and fascinating.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Officially top five soups in the world, Scottie Gooa.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Well, does Ramen and fu count Yes, of course there's soups.
Number one is ramen. Okay, oh, I like that. I
love good ramen and I love fu, but fa it's
probably like four for me.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Okay, there's fuzz not even on my list. I'll let
you know that.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, fuzz fuzz to sit at home. Yeah yeah, I
like when you eat ramen, if you get it to
go and it sits there and it all can reels.
You've been just eating versions of fats and oils and
you're like.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
So, you know what, Actually, there's one thing that you
can make yourself feel better about that is that it's
not all fat. A lot of it's collar gin good
for your bones and your skin.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Bro oh, well that's good too.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
That's why it's like it solidifies. The fat is definitely
part of that, but a lot of its collegen.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Baby.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
All right, So you got number one ramen, what's number two?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I like a minudle. Give me a minudo roja. I'm
a big Mexican soup fan. Love that. I Yeah, that's
my number two, and i'd three. I'd go, Oh, I mean,
I'm gonna put chicken noodle soup somewhere in the top five,
just because, Okay, I do think about it when I'm hungry.
(16:40):
All right, I like that, and then I'm gonna go
four f five. This is gonna I'm just traveling the
whole country. I Uh, I love real wantan soup. I
love it really when I'm sick, I crave wanton soup,
and people like chicken noodle soup and that kind of thing. Yeah,
(17:00):
so I guess I'm not a big cream based soup guys,
what you're learning from this riveting discussion. But yeah, I
think i'd go wantan soup, chicken noodle soup, menudo roja roja,
and any type of great ramen is my numeral uno.
That's my fiver, and I stand by this list. I
(17:22):
should open Scotti Soups and just have those five things
until they sell out.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Well, you know what, Let's have one side of the
store offer those, the other side will offer these my
top five. All right, I'm one right off. Fat legit borshed,
Russian borshe. No, none of this meat shit, there's no.
It's not Ukrainian borshe. This is not Polish. This is
(17:48):
Russian borshed. It is beat is beat forward. It is
served with cold the fattiest sour cream you can find
a ton of black pepper.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Okay, that is such an insane choice that I'm fully
on board with huge.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
But I love Borsch It's my favorite soup. Crazy two
French onion soup, got I love. I know, it's definitely
Three's ramen. It's so good. I'm talking.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Spicy, little spicy hangover cure.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Then I'm talking about a chicken tortilla soup.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
All right, I'm with you on that, like like a caldo.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Verde, you know. And then for number the number five position.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Scottie, the sleeper hit of.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
The sleeper hit, I'm gonna have to go. I'm gonna
have to go with a lentil soup. Baby wow.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Real book ended it with the two most born soups.
I could think you're one and five or just a
lot of people's worst soups. That's why Kurt is an artist.
He goes in there. He gets the full experience. Lentils
are delicious.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Lentil soup if it's done, if it's a good and like,
I'm not talking about a watery, shitty lentil soup. I'm
talking about quality, quality lentil soup.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Go places like Panera, go places where they and you
know what America likes. They like cheese based soups they
do they like, they'd like a baked potato soup.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
They like cheesy broccoli soup.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Oh anything, cream of anything.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Creama mushroom soup.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
My uncle Steve is a ship and.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Sorry, before you you know what, you forgot one. I
forgot one. I'm gonna have to I'm gonna have to
put cream. I'm gonna have to put clam chowder on here.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Baby, your chowderhead. The creamy clown, not man creamy.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yeah, clam, creamy clam is going to be. It might
bump lentil off at the end.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
I get it. That's a big swing, but I get it.
I'd I'd rather eat it. My uncle Steve for Christmas
one of our family big traditions as he was a
chef and remains a chef. Just was also a chef,
and he makes cream of crab soup in this vat
that is like it's the biggest pot you can make
(20:26):
it in. And the reason is I have a very
large family. My mom d was one of eight. They're Catholics.
There's just even my cousins who are younger than me
are just cranking out babies. Had an alarming rate shock
him and every single person there just absolutely demolishes cream
of crab soup as soon as they get to the party.
(20:46):
Like there, you know how like when you're talking to
somebody and they're holding a beer or a solo cup or
glass of wine. Here's chatting. In my family, it's a
plastic bowl with a plastic spoon, just inhaling and.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Is it spicy? Is it a little bit spicy?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Oh, it's sweet and it is devastatingly good. It is
the richest, creamiest thing. And so for years I didn't
do dairy because it used to fuck my stomach up. Yeah,
so I stopped doing it. And so as this outsider,
and now I can get back into it. But as
as an outsider insider in my own family, just sitting
back and watching twenty two to thirty people just inhanding
(21:21):
cream of crab soup is the most Maryland. It's beautiful,
it's a great tradition. It smells incredible, but and.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
It's got a lot of old bay and it doesn't
know if you had it.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Now that you're going to be an East Coast doggie again,
I'll make sure to get you some and you will,
you'll be fully on board, all right. It is crazy delicious,
but uh, dairy forward, I would say, and it becomes
dairy backward if you know what I mean, And I
thank you.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I do, all right, So I'll finish up this article please.
I'd love it. Even when previously introduced to cocaine, Ruth
and Flus team noted that the insects routinely opted for
pure sugar water over sugar water laced with cocaine. First
study author Travis Fillow theorized the reason may reside in
(22:13):
a fli's sense of taste that is found on their
legs because they share seventy five percent of our organs
and their taste buds are on their fucking legs. Insects
are evolutionarily primed to avoid plant toxins, and cocaine is
a plant toxin. They have taste receptors on their arms
their tarsal segments, so they can put their hand in
(22:34):
something before it goes in their mouth and decide, I'm
not going to touch that. After affirming that cocaine activates
a fruitflies bitter sensing taste receptors, rooth and flu and
philly saw switched off these nerves. Once deactivated, there was
a little There was little to stop the flies from
developing a cocaine habit. These modified flies were subsequently introduced
(22:54):
to sugar water infused with a low concentration of cocaine.
Within sixteen hours, the insects indicated a preference for the
drug lace drink. At load doses, they start running around
just like people. At very high doses, they get incapacitated
with it, which is also true in people. So what
is what? I don't understand why they're doing this. Oh,
(23:17):
we can really start to understand the mechanisms of cocaine choice.
And the more you understand about the mechanism, the more
you have a chance to find a therapeutic that might
act on that mechanism. All right, well, there you go.
So they're trying to figure out how to get people
off cocaine. They're getting flies on to get people off.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
I think that sounds okay, great work. I think that's
great work from the science and medical community at large.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Don't you always wonder what inspires people to choose a
specific study to dedicate their time and energy to the Like,
is this person definitively like what I want to do?
I want study cocaine?
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Yeah, does cocaine suppresses your appetite, right, like you don't
really get hungry when you're in correct. Okay, that's interesting too,
Like I thought it was going in that direction that
they were trying to figure out how to like get
these damn flies from eating so much fruit, get these
flies off these bananas. A great stat but no, okay,
medical reasons to use cocaine, Yeah, yeah, But I think
(24:28):
about that for every career and job, and you know,
every road trip I'm on and everything, I like look
at the mailbox in the middle of nowhere and the
driveway up to the house, and I know what decisions?
How are I? Like, we're the same species? How am
I the same as this person that made these decisions
to put them out there? And I feel that way
with careers. I feel even when we were even when
(24:51):
I was like going into college, I really didn't know.
I thought I wanted to be an animator, a children's
book writer or whatever, but I really didn't know how
to do anything. But so many of my friends were like,
I'm gonna do turf sciences and I'm gonna may be
a run golf course golf courses, And I was like,
you're gonna do turf sciences and they're like yes, or
(25:11):
they'd be like, I'm going in a nursing, which is
great obviously, but you go you already why? And it's
usually because I know a guy who became an accountant
because he went to a house of a girl that
went to high school with us, and the house was
really nice and was our uncle's house, and her uncle
was an accountant, and in that moment he decided I'm
going to be an accountant because the guy had a
(25:32):
house that he liked when he was seventeen.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Wow, and so he was just like, this is what
I want and I'm gonna get it. How do I
get there? Accounting?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Yes? Like entertainment for me was certainly watching the Chris
Farley era of Saturday Live into the incredible run of
like that Tina fe My Rudolph era, where like Molly Shannon,
you're like, damn that era. I was like, I like
watching this, my friends like talking about it. I'm going
(26:00):
to pursue entertainment in some way. But even then you're like,
how the hell did this all come together? Yeah, it's
hard to imagine.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
It really is hard to imagine. And that's why I
think all the time where people are. I was always like,
there is no path. There is no like when people
want to be like, tell me how you did it,
and it'll be like I can. But it's as unique
and specific as anybody's, you know, like there are maybe
certain things that you could do, but they're just so
wide to bring you to being in this gig.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
And that's why I never enjoyed inside the actors studio.
I was never a fan. I thought the format was fine.
I love the idea of like actors can turn on
the charm in a way that you go, oh, you
are a star. I want to listen to everything you're
saying and doing. But I would watch it and I'd
be like, this is all just irrelevant, Like the path
that this person took. You're like, I can't do what
(26:54):
they just did. And the questions were always like third
year directing major, second year acting under Sudi blah blah blah,
and you're like, you're not going to learn anything. No.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
It's like someone being like, well, the way I got
my TV deal was my father's a billionaire and.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I know and I know what you're referencing too, and
my god, it's just that thing where everybody wants a path. Yes, man,
that's why academia is so fun. Is it gives you
a path, or at least the perception of a path.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
The perception of a path.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
And sometimes it's a very smart path.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Give me a story, Scottie.

insane thing. This was in People magazine, I think exclusively. Weirdly.
They were bragging. They were so hard, bragging like only us.

Ultra Marathon. Breastfeeding mid race. So mid race she stops
a breastfeed and is inhaling watermelon. Not only has Stephanie
won the one hundred k race. It's set on this
Instagram post after giving birth to her daughter only six
months earlier.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
That's amazing. I'm looking at it. I'm looking at it right.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Not only has Stephanie breastfed her girl several times along
the way at aid stations, but she also won the race,
starting the race from far behind with no access to

Or Twitter or I got Johnny Pemberton are good buddy
who we should have on bronanas. He's the best dude,
he's on Fallout. If anybody watches fall Out, we love that.
Johnny Pemberton, he was just on a podcast and I
think it's like sex and relationships based and the woman
host was like red flag or green flag if the
woman you're dating has no social media and he's like
(31:22):
green flag, the biggest green, the biggest. She goes? What
why he goes? Social media is the worst thing to
ever happen to society. It's incredible. We'll have it. Donnie
On he's the greatest. I think he plays the character
Thattius on Fallout, which is a crazy good show for
something I knew nothing about. Sharing an Instagram carousel of
(31:42):
her POSTPARTU Marathon journey, case reflected on her triumph, Well
that was a surprise, she wrote. I went to the
Ultratrail Snowdonia one hundred kilometer last weekend with no expect
no expectations, just six months after having Little Pepper, three
years after my last race, due to recent miscarriages and
(32:04):
IVY failures. It wasn't meant. It was meant to be
a warm up to get to hard rock, which I
guess is another race and I hope not just a
hard rock Cafe. Yeah, she really likes to earn.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
It was relling just get it, like, I can't wait.
I'm going to hard rock to loom and I'm looking
forward to it.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
I'm gonna run sixty two miles to earn. And the
thing is, I don't know one menuid im at hard
Rock ant either. I would make the joke. I would
make the reference the Jimmy Hendricks beans and rice. I
don't know the beans and hen drinks. I had no idea.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
I'm telling you the menu right now. Baby, it's the
vegend you would get the he should get the vegendary burger.
It was spicy Diablo burger.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Yeah, okay. Oh, so they don't have cool rock band names.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Like, what's going on?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
That's dumb? Get tracked together, guy.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Why isn't there an Oreo speed Wagon?
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Oh that's so good.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
That was actually from that's from a TJF. Friday's Baby.
Oh yes, no they're not. No, no, no, that's weird.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Okay, yeah, that's dumb.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
It is weird.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what's going on
over there at hard Rock Cafe.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Normal sandwich names.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
She case added, My goals were just to enjoy myself
and make sure pepper was fed at all the AID
stations that I'm saying aid stations, not AIDS stage stations.
She's not spraying pepper out of her nipples. She is
not going to where AIDS exists. Give given it is given,
is given out freely with watermelon slices. As I no
(33:48):
longer have a ut MB index, I started in the
last wave, thirty minutes after the leader. Sure I had
hundreds of runners in front of me, but I could
go at my own pace and blissful igants of my placing.
That's a good attitude, and like just don't worry about
anybody else. You just run in a way that makes
you happy.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
So wait, here's my question.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
I hope I have an answer.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
It's just so wait, the people who have a UTMB ranking,
they don't get a head's thirty minute start on these
other people. Everybody has their own time, correct.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
I think it's what she's saying, it's a delayed start,
that there's certain people that are taking it more seriously
than others, so those people get to go off first,
which is I think how the New York Marathon works too, right, Okay,
like the people people at the front.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
They just go go because they don't want to be
like like have to like avoid other people coming.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Out run by all of us limping, blistered, funny wig
wearing celebrity first time runners like I do. Remember when
Lance Armstrong ran the marathon and he said it was
harder than the Tor de Frants.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Whoa for real?
Speaker 1 (34:52):
It really stuck with me. Yeah, because that guy, I
mean obviously was juiced.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Yeah he was.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
He was juiced out of his mind.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Yeah, six testicles. He was getting a lot of I.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Think cycling a lot of them, if not all of them,
are pretty pumped up.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
You could say there was Actually I listened to an
entire podcast about or I started to and it was
so boring I stopped.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
But sometimes there are that like there.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Was a big thing in the Tour defronts of someone
using a goddamn motor on their bike. Yes, they had
it a motor. Isn't that crazy? That seems like one
thing definitely would it be happening? Is so what putting
a motor into the bike race? But yeah, people have
been doing it from like the beginning of the Tour
de France.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Apparently, Man, that's so dumb. But going back to this runner.
What I'm saying is like, hey, she went at her
own pace and blissful ignorance, Like screw that cheating. She
wasn't cheating at all. She was run along feet her kid.
Yeah nice describes the marathon as being like riding bike.
Every kilometer that passed remind me that I hadn't lost
a thing over these past three years. I didn't even
know I had won until I crossed the line being
(36:00):
minutes backman that the race organizers needed to check the
chip time. She said, I won. I think I repeated
it to myself ten times. She continued. Case advised all
other mothers to never be afraid of setting big goals
for yourself.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Very cool. Also, don't worry if you don't want to
set any goals the first six months after you have
a child. It is okay to be completely overwhelmed. Even
as a father. I was overwhelmed for at least five years.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
So take your time. You don't need to run an
ultra marathon either.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Nope, but yeah, start with a splitting the city. It's
a downhill one k off Bananas Veest in Denver, October fourth,
be there or b.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Square Come on New Moms, pump and dump and go
to dump.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Bring your baby, Well, we'll figure something out.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
We'll hold your baby.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
We'll hold your baby.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
And that's a.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
That's Banana's promise.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
You bring in new baby, We're gonna hold it for you.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Yeah, We're gonna sit down and support its head and
hold your baby.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
But I'm good at it.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
But take that thing back in fifteen seconds because I
don't want anything to go wrong, and I'll take four photos.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
I'll say I'll hold on to it for a couple
of minutes. All right, pretty, I'm pretty pretty confident in
that area.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
I'm gonna sit down, I'm gonna put grip tape on
both of my hands, some wide receivers sticky tape on there,
and say, let me see that thing, let me see
that little Pepper. Also, I have to own like four
of those long haired dogs ins in my life and
they're all named Pepper. So to me, I associate the
name Pepper with long haired wiener dogs.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
That is interesting. Can I tell you what my newest
my newest issue of interacting with Facebook marketplaces, Scotty.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
There's nothing I want to hear more.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
I love that buying moving blankets I'm trying to buy
moving blankets. And the people who are selling moving blankets
on Facebook Messenger, they got law personality, and they got
they got a lot of they got a lot of
pepper in their responses to everything. They're angry all the
(38:19):
time about people contacting them to try and buy their
fucking blankets. They're mad about it. You text them with them,
they're angry the whole time.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Why.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
I don't know, because they're just like so many people
are asking me, and it's like you're selling something. Fucking
deal with it. You're making money off of something that
no one wants ever anymore, I know.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
And also just deal with the first person say yes,
come tomorrow at eleven am and here's how much they cost.
And then the next person you go, I have somebody coming.
They're supposed to come at eleven am. I will message
you at eleven thirty if they're not here and you
can come pick them up. It's very easy to organize
selling blankets. And then as sous A sald you take
the add down. It's an these people, these people, you know,
(39:05):
I had this race once. You had a race, Yes,
when I saw race mountain bikes.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
I so when you Okay, So explain a mountain bike
race to me. Is it like a long distance race?
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Ok? Yeah? So I the type I did. I was sixteen,
I was fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, because that's how old I was.
I graduated high school when I was seventeen September baby,
and so I raced junior class on the NorVa Circuit,
which is like just you know, the organization, the over
seeing body. And I started a beginner and then moved
(39:37):
up to advanced beginner, and I think the next level
is called like intermedia, and so that's the highest ever got.
But it's cross country as opposed to downhill, and so
downhill is what you're imagining. You bomb down a ski
run on a bike with some suspension, you go really fast.
But I was really good at climbing. Okay, I could.
I was really fast because I was I was six
two and one hundred and fifty pounds. Wow.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
It was like a little bike frame. It was like
a bike frame riding a bicycle basically, and I was
an athlete, so it was really good. I was a
good and I did a handful of races in Maryland
and Pennsylvania and then I kind of did a half
assed race in Massachusetts when I was college, but it
had already started eating craps.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
So but here's a question. So if it's cross country, yes,
are you still riding a bike that has all of
that intense suspension for going if you go uphill? Do
you come downhill after.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
You have a front shock on? That's it? So there,
it's what's called a hearttale.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Okay, And so sorry you you started eating like shit.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
So no, so you foun about this. One of the
earliest races, I was sixteen and it was a well
known race in Maryland and it was on Mother's Day
and it's called Mutter's Day, like mud look at that.
And it was a rainy day and I went.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
Drove my moms want to do yeah, And.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
I would drive myself out. And then I worked at
the bike doctor, So I had a jersey, a team
jersey yeah. And I would go find guys that were
over each team that were also on the team that
didn't know me because there were seven stores or whatever
eight stores, and I'd be like, hey, man, can you
sign this? Basically they had to sign as my legal
guardian so that I could race at sixteen, And so
(41:12):
while I'm signing up to do probably advanced, beginner, junior
blah blah blah blah blah. There was about thirty racers
and then the way it works curty is like it
usually starts, everybody lined up. There's sort of a sprint
over a field or some distance, and then you go
to what's called single track, which is narrow trails through
the woods, up and down hills, over rocks, creeking beds.
That's what cross country is. And this one was eighteen
(41:32):
miles somewhere thirty two miles and it takes a while
and it's really fun. So before when I was getting
signed up, you know, I'm fifteen, so everybody over twenty
five looks old to me, very old, ye. And there
was a guy in like a yellow bike kitch Jersey.
He's got his pearl zoomy bike shorts on, he's got
his bike helmet on, and it's so muddy, and the
(41:56):
rain starts coming and everybody's cheering because we're like, yeah,
muddy Mutter's day. And this guy just dives in the
biggest puddle and starts doing mud angels. He's howling, he's
slapping the water to make a mess he's rubbing the
muddy onself, and we're all like, oh, this guy's tried
to like psych everybody out because he must have a
(42:17):
race coming, and he's just trying to prove that he
doesn't care how cold, how muddy it is. Get it
over with, don't worry about because the rest of us
are stepping round puddles or riding our bikes around puddles.
So my race goes in. I race, and I don't
do that well. I think in my first three races,
i'd finished top five. I was good, but this one
I was just slipping out. I was getting stuck in mud,
(42:39):
like at stream Cross. It was just a I'm frustrated
because I'm a kid and I'm so competitive When I
was sixteen years old, so I probably finish in the
top fifteen, but thirteen fourteen, fifteen, and I'm pissed and
I'm bummed, and I'm wet, and I'm cold and my
leg's hurt. And you don't get a trophy. You don't
get anything.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
Banana and that's it.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
Yeah, you get as many bananas as you want. And
power bars were new flavors back then, so you got
a power bar and so I go back to my
car and I kind of strip out of all the
wet stuff and I towel off and I put on,
you know, just warm clothes, probably a lacrosse or soccer
warm up back in the day. And I go back
to the race start to see if I can see
any friends or other bike mechanics or whatever, and that
(43:21):
guy is still playing in the mud. So this guy
has not started racing. He's still got bike here on,
he still got clipless pedal shoes on. And finally some
person's like, yo, dude, what time is your race? The
guy goes, Oh, I'm too fat to race. I'm just
here to meet chicks, and everybody just celebrates, and it
(43:43):
lifted my spirits. It made me instantly realize. Also, this
race was in Maryland, so I was like, this is
the most Maryland weirdo of all time.
Speaker 2 (43:51):
I love that so much.
Speaker 1 (43:52):
Yeah, I'm too fat to race, man, I'm just here
to meet chicks. And everybody cheers and I'm like this guy,
And it was probably the moment I was like, what
am I? Why do I care? Why do I care?
I finished fourteenth out of forty riders. It was just
so funny to see this grown man like just hogging
out the bud. The chicks are talking to this guy.
(44:13):
He's just a one of one. It's good to be
one of one in those situations.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
Oh man, I love that. That's great.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
I like it that.
Speaker 2 (44:21):
It was like kind of a turning point for you
as well.
Speaker 1 (44:24):
It was it was like it made me happy that
I'm like, what, I don't care that I didn't win
a stupid medal that'll be on a shelf for four
years and my parents will secretly throw it away. What
do I care? Give us some Mother's Day.
Speaker 2 (44:37):

Like why aren't they Why aren't they crawling yet? Why
aren't they sitting up yet? Why aren't they doing this
(47:09):
thing yet? They're supposed to be doing this thing? And
it is like, as a new parent for first kid,
you're so like timing it all out. And it's an
excellent butute Bluey episode about it that is so it's
so zen and gorgeous and like it makes you feel
so good and cry. So go watch that and also,

she says, were definitely considered conventionally attractive and hate they
had very successful businesses. And for context, I dated more
than three guys in my life. These three just happened
to be accused or convicted of violent fellows. Oh boy.

psychopath in more than ten years. Yay. Thumbs up to

Speaker 2 (49:52):
New Jersey man wins three hundred and fifteen million million
dollars in a powerball jackpot because his wife made him
return orange juice that wasn't on sale. This guy he
bought five dollar orange juice, uh, and his wife was like, no,
I got it for two fifty, Go return this five
(50:13):
dollar arn juice. And he's like, yes, ma'am, and took
the orange juice back, returned it with the two to fifty,
and he got the two fifty orange juice. With the
two dollars and fifty cents left over, he bought a
power ball and won three hundred and fifteen million dollars
right there, and then that is there and.
Speaker 1 (50:31):
Then absolutely truly bananas, my goodness.
Speaker 2 (50:35):
And it all happened in New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (50:38):
Damn. Right now she can get the most expensive oj
without feeling guilt. Damn. That is uh. That is so lucky.
That is unlovably lucky. That story, my goodness. I told
this before. But when I was a surve I did
so many brunches, so many brunches, and I had this
(50:59):
one manager that watch me make a mimosa, and he goes,
what the fuck are you doing away? He goes, drop
a canna is like four point fifty a container that's
champagne Andre that's like two dollars a bottle. Fill that
shit to the top with champagne and top it off
with the OJ. Whoa, the orange juice in Brooklyn was
more expensive than the champagne, so our mimosas were just
(51:22):
cranking with champagne with just a splash of OJ.
Speaker 2 (51:25):
Oh my god, that's so funny.
Speaker 1 (51:28):
Oh, good old Andre Champagne. Man, the hangovers that must
have rolled out of that for real.
Speaker 2 (51:34):
I never drink mimosas for that exact reason. All right, folks,
bananas love you annas, Thank you so much for listening
to this show makes us happy.
Speaker 1 (51:44):
Can't believe it. Yeah, keep it going. And if you're
listening to us, let us know where you're listening to us.
Are you at work? Are you out? Are you exercising?
Are you cleaning the house? Are you cleaning somebody else's house?
Are you driving? Just dms and say, guys, when I
listen to you, I listened to you here doing this
because sometimes it's giving birth, sometimes it's in chemo, but
(52:05):
sometimes it's just being in the front yard smoking a dube,
hanging out. Yeah, we want to know. We like to
know what you're up to while you're listening to them
Banana boys being silly gooses. This has been bananas ban

We love those five stars Bananas
Hey, Scottie, Kurtie b I'm ready to laugh and off and.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Off researchers genetically altered fruitflies to make them crave cocaine.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
It probably didn't take that much. Probably could have just
given them cocaine that they would have. All right, we'll
get a sniff of this on a brand new bananas.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Do world understand?
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Would you cilion pieces? Would you?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Guys, gows, non binary pals, Welcome to bananas. Scottie Landis
is sitting right there over me, producer of Ma Too. Thanks,
just announced. Congratulations, Thank you, feels wonderful.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
That's the great Kurt Brown all over there. Yeah, thanks man,
that's I knew it was coming. Obviously, I wasn't allowed
to talk about it. And then, like all great things
in Hollywood, I found out from the deadline and variety announcements,
like I didn't find out from reps or studios or
but I knew it was coming. Very proud. Ama Too
(01:24):
is going to be in theater sometime hopefully this fall.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
That's exciting.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Yeah, it's very cool, and I'm glad to have created
a franchise, and I feel very blessed and lucky and
thank you to all the banannimals who have watched it
and sent me you know, them watching it and watching
it for the first time and all those things. It
actually worked out. So a sequel is being made.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
You created a franchise, dude. Not only did you get
a movie made that made so much money compared to
how much it was shot for. Yeah, that's right, which
is a incredibly hard to do. First an original movie,
an a original movie.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yeah that's right.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
And now it's a franchise. Oh it feels good, my god,
I mean like it is. It is a testament to
how hard you work and how talented you are.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Sir. Thank you. I really appreciate that. Again, thank you
to everybody saw it and loves it. And you know,
it came out five years ago. It came out May
thirty first, twenty nineteen, and five years later they finally
gree lit the sequel, So away we go. I'm happy
it has struck a nerve and stuck around and is
like a cult, campy movie for people, very exciting and yeah,
(02:40):
what a what a fun mixed I just feel like
actually happy because I'm not writing it. I'm like, boy,
I have no pressure to make this awesome. I just
have to sit back and cheer on the writer.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
And it's like people will go see it in the
theaters because they already like it.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Oh, and all actually enjoy seeing it in the theater,
just like at the premiere. I was my second time
even seeing it. So I you're watching it like, God,
is this good? They change that all this stuff, And
now I'm just going in. I know what the storyline is,
but I won't know anything. Yeah, I'll read the script
before it gets shot. But it'll be cool to go
(03:21):
in blind and just go, Okay, who did they past?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I know right what's happening? Uh, you have to if
they have a New York premiere, you know, oh go,
I want to go. I want to go. I want
you to fly out for it. But also if they
don't have a New York premiere, I will host a
Bananamal screening opening weekend.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Well that's all I want more. I was more flattered
when the first one came out. I was actually happier
about you guys all going and cheering and having a
great time and then reporting back to the theater. Loved it.
Then I was any other part of it, my favorite
part where my friend's just going and cheering and having
a great time. It really was.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
It's cool, man, it's good thanks to you. When something
in your mind takes on a life of its own,
it is so very neat and it's one of the
most satisfying things about being alive on planet Earth.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
It's true. And I just hope every movie I write
from here on out, if I ever get to make
another one, they're all just party based movies. I would
be very happy being the party guy for scary movies.
I mean The Machine was a party movie. Yeah, it like,
just really send me your drinking movies and I'm in,
I'll do it.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
I love that you're a.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Cool brand, a cool brand, and now that you and
I are huge influencers, just massive influencers. What a cool
brand to have. Yeah, for real, man, still not a
single liquor sponsor of the pod. But that's okay.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
What are liquor brand not allowed to advertise on podcasts?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Oh? For sure they are. Like so many people have
bud Light and get us Buzzballs. That's a woman owned company,
and we want those buzzballs.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
A woman owned company. Yeah, of course, have you seen
the large buzzballs have you seen those. Those are the
most upsetting things, and they are upset. We're just like,
how much sugar and hard liquor do you want? Well,
we've got it in a head sized container.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Damn right. And they're beautiful. They catch the eye. They're
definitely not marketed to teenagers and college students. Yeah, but
we love them just the same. Strange news and storytelling.
That's the Bananas Podcast. It's the silliest little podcast in
the world. Just thanks to all the Bananas out there
who support the pod. We love that you listen, send
(05:37):
us your stories, and now you can always also email
whatever you want to us. Ask us questions. We'll read
those on the air, and you can always physically mail us.
We love the usps at this podcast. And we have
a po box that is three nine three four eight,
Los Angeles, California, nine zero zero three to nine. Just
(05:58):
write that to the Anna boys or bananas. When I
go pick up packages the post the man that works
at the post office always goes bananas, all right and
then hands me them, so I think it makes them happy.
Doesn't pronounce a last name.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Come on, of course, it makes them happy.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
And it makes us happy to do it. What's the story, Curdie.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
B alrighty, here it is. This was in Popular Science,
one of my favorite that's a real one, seemingly fake magazines.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Right yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Researchers genetically altered fruit flies crave cocaine written by the
man with the most esoteric name ever, Andrew.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Paul Andy Paul, who sent this one in.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Just I found it. Yea, Andrew Paul is a best
in the bus when it comes to this stuff. In
really typing in a world first scientists University of Utah.
Why am I not surprised at Utah have an engineered
fruitflies susceptible to cocaine addiction. But as strange as it sounds,
there are potentially life saving reasons for genetically altering the
(07:08):
insects to crave the drug. The novel biological model could
help addiction treatment therapy development, to therapy's development, and expedite
research timelines. That's interesting, Okay. The findings are detailed in
the Journal of Neuroscience. As surprising as it may sound,
humans have a lot in common with fruitflies. In fact,
(07:30):
we share seventy to seventy five percent of the same
genes responsible for various diseases as well as many of
the same vital organs. What are they talking about?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah, no idea vital organs.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
First off, fruitflies have organs. I mean, are they saying
like they have eyes and stomachs and legs and that's it.
I don't even like, I can't even imagine a fruitfly's stomach.
Uh does a fruitfly have lungs? I don't think a
fruitfly has lungs.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
This god has a breath in something.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Hell he's talking about.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Researchers have relied on the insects for genetic studies for years,
especially for investigating the biological roots of certain addictions like
cocaine abuse. This is due in large part to the
fruitflies quick life cycle and it's comparatively simple genetic makeup.
But while scientists have administered the drug to the bugs
in the past, there's always been a small problem. Flies
(08:35):
don't like cocaine one bit. Where is where are all
these studies getting their cocaine? Where is that happening? Is
there is there pharmaceutical grade cocaine that we're not aware of?
And who's producing it?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Oh? Look, God, there's tons of it? Are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
There's so much talking about you.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Think so was made in a lab. It's a lab
made thing. Caine doesn't just grow on trees, trust me,
I've been abound so many trees lately. But it's really uh.
And but I'd be more curious of like how easy
it is to smuggle a little bit out if you're
one of the scientists make cooking that cocaine. I agree,
(09:17):
also pretty easy.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
But also like tip for like cocaine is is derived
from the cocoa plant, right for coca plant. Yeah, and
I and like I think a lot of the like
how do you make it in a lab? Is my
question because it usually being made like in a jungle
with gasoline and burnt you know, like it's a bunch
(09:39):
of different processes. But then do they try and recreate
what street cocaine is in the lab or is there
like is there a definitive definition of like this is
what makes makes up cocaine that they're trying to like
meet you know, okay, you're telling me.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
I don't know. Okay, I think all drugs And I
bet we have chemist ban animals. I'm sure we have
chemists ban animals. I bet they could just spout out
what the chemical combination is, what the compound is and
you'd like just combine these things and you have cocaine.
It's like, let's see you it's just like made a lab.
Just a guy.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Not cocaine is not that's the thing. Like meth. Meth's
made in a lab. You just make that with chemicals.
But cocaine is made from a plant. It is legitimately
made from a plant, right, right, So it's like it
is different in that way. So that's why I'm like,
you know, if it's just always been made kind of
by by people, you know in the debt and like
in the jungle, like, how are more chemicsts recreating it?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
You know? Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I don't know
to what cookbooks are for. I guess you know, do
you have a cookbook that you like? Like is there
one around your house that I feel like? Cookbooks are
the gift that you're so grateful, Like somebody gives you
a cookbook and like, oh this is awesome. You thumbed
through it and then you just put it on that
(10:59):
kitchen encounter and it just sits there for twenty five years.
Like yeah, yeah, then you always have one that you
go hard on, like real hard on.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I used to have a soups one that I really liked.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Hell yeah, now that's an answer. You had a soups
one that's great.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
I do make a lot of soups, actually weirdly I make.
I do. I enjoy making soups. I like to have
a soup around because it's so easy. It's got everything
right there, you know, especially for a lunch where you're like,
because I usually tend not to get up until I'm
so hungry. I'm angry at myself and that I just
want to have something I can quickly heat up and eat,
(11:39):
and all of it's it's like all the good things
are there in one place. So I make a ton
of soups brah. But I can't remember I can't remember
whose soup recipe book I use.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
So soup's great. I mean, I'm pro soup all the way,
are you? God? I love a soup. I feel like
it's an East Coast food and a Midwestern food. I
feel like the South and the West Coast just don't
get the love soup now. But I feel like soup
stands tall.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
You can go to any East Coast Midwest place and
there's stores. They're just whole shops. That are just like
this place is we sell soup and you could come
in and you can get a bowl of soup and
we got ten different types of soup and they're delicious
and they're really good. You come California, there's not a
goddamn single soup place in Los Angeles. I have looked.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, just Jewish Ellis it's the only place you can
go get different soups. But yeah, there's no There was
a soup plantation.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
There was a soup plantation with the worst name, and
they had a bunch of soups and it was like,
I hate this name. The soups are not good, but
I still am gonna go here.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
It was stewvery Yeah, you're like, don't do it please?
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Such a weird idea of all the names of all
the names were like we could it could be anything.
Could be soup gallery, it could be coup name, it
could be soup or market. It could be I'd be
there every day every day at super market.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Yeah, it's not that hard. Oh.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I remember once super super when I had the Australian girlfriend.
She told me about the first time she went to
the United States and they were traveling like in a
road trip and they got to like just a diner
in the middle of the country and they sat down,
they ordered something and the waitress was like, all right,
(13:25):
super salad. And they were like, oh, yes, yeah, sure,
and she's like super salad. They're like, yes, we would
like the super salad that she's like soup or salad. Yes,
they just thought it was super salad. Would would be
an American thing to create a super salad.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I would love it. I would eat a super salad
every day. I feel like I've put more money into
the Gelson Salad Bar out here than any other business
in Los Angeles, really, the one over where I used
to live, the one over more in like Silver Lake,
Los Phelis. I used to go there all the time,
and those salads it's like fourteen ninety nine a pound,
and I will make a pound salad and then every
(14:06):
time you're leaving, you're like, wow, a sixteen dollars salad.
This was a financial mistake. I could have bought the
individual ingredients and made three salads.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
I always would. I always think it's gonna be like
a real healthy choice. But then whenever I go to
the salad bar, there's always like a hot bar nearby
where you could just kind of pile on mac and cheese,
and so like, I keep making it really and then
I'm like, well, I deserve a little something something, and
then I'll PLoP some mac and cheese on top, and
all of a sudden, we're not having a healthy meal anymore.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
There are certain people in my life that would order
soup all the time, friends and ex girlfriends and stuff.
And one ex girlfriend, if there was French onion soup
on a menu, it wouldn't matter if it was a
place that should not be said, it wouldn't matter if
it was a pinkberry. She would order it. And it
was almost like an addiction. And I feel like that
saved freeness of French onion soup, the cheese, all of it.
(15:03):
It's delicious and I'm not dunking on it.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Oh, I know you're not dunking on it. It's one
of the best soups in the in the world.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
But every if it was on the menu, it was
happening all right and fascinating.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Officially top five soups in the world, Scottie Gooa.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Well, does Ramen and fu count Yes, of course there's soups.
Number one is ramen. Okay, oh, I like that. I
love good ramen and I love fu, but fa it's
probably like four for me.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Okay, there's fuzz not even on my list. I'll let
you know that.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, fuzz fuzz to sit at home. Yeah yeah, I
like when you eat ramen, if you get it to
go and it sits there and it all can reels.
You've been just eating versions of fats and oils and
you're like.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
So, you know what, Actually, there's one thing that you
can make yourself feel better about that is that it's
not all fat. A lot of it's collar gin good
for your bones and your skin.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Bro oh, well that's good too.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
That's why it's like it solidifies. The fat is definitely
part of that, but a lot of its collegen.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Baby.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
All right, So you got number one ramen, what's number two?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I like a minudle. Give me a minudo roja. I'm
a big Mexican soup fan. Love that. I Yeah, that's
my number two, and i'd three. I'd go, Oh, I mean,
I'm gonna put chicken noodle soup somewhere in the top five,
just because, Okay, I do think about it when I'm hungry.
(16:40):
All right, I like that, and then I'm gonna go
four f five. This is gonna I'm just traveling the
whole country. I Uh, I love real wantan soup. I
love it really when I'm sick, I crave wanton soup,
and people like chicken noodle soup and that kind of thing. Yeah,
(17:00):
so I guess I'm not a big cream based soup guys,
what you're learning from this riveting discussion. But yeah, I
think i'd go wantan soup, chicken noodle soup, menudo roja roja,
and any type of great ramen is my numeral uno.
That's my fiver, and I stand by this list. I
(17:22):
should open Scotti Soups and just have those five things
until they sell out.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Well, you know what, Let's have one side of the
store offer those, the other side will offer these my
top five. All right, I'm one right off. Fat legit borshed,
Russian borshe. No, none of this meat shit, there's no.
It's not Ukrainian borshe. This is not Polish. This is
(17:48):
Russian borshed. It is beat is beat forward. It is
served with cold the fattiest sour cream you can find
a ton of black pepper.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Okay, that is such an insane choice that I'm fully
on board with huge.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
But I love Borsch It's my favorite soup. Crazy two
French onion soup, got I love. I know, it's definitely
Three's ramen. It's so good. I'm talking.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Spicy, little spicy hangover cure.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Then I'm talking about a chicken tortilla soup.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
All right, I'm with you on that, like like a caldo.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Verde, you know. And then for number the number five position.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Scottie, the sleeper hit of.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
The sleeper hit, I'm gonna have to go. I'm gonna
have to go with a lentil soup. Baby wow.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Real book ended it with the two most born soups.
I could think you're one and five or just a
lot of people's worst soups. That's why Kurt is an artist.
He goes in there. He gets the full experience. Lentils
are delicious.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Lentil soup if it's done, if it's a good and like,
I'm not talking about a watery, shitty lentil soup. I'm
talking about quality, quality lentil soup.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Go places like Panera, go places where they and you
know what America likes. They like cheese based soups they
do they like, they'd like a baked potato soup.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
They like cheesy broccoli soup.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Oh anything, cream of anything.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Creama mushroom soup.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
My uncle Steve is a ship and.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Sorry, before you you know what, you forgot one. I
forgot one. I'm gonna have to I'm gonna have to
put cream. I'm gonna have to put clam chowder on here.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Baby, your chowderhead. The creamy clown, not man creamy.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yeah, clam, creamy clam is going to be. It might
bump lentil off at the end.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
I get it. That's a big swing, but I get it.
I'd I'd rather eat it. My uncle Steve for Christmas
one of our family big traditions as he was a
chef and remains a chef. Just was also a chef,
and he makes cream of crab soup in this vat
that is like it's the biggest pot you can make
(20:26):
it in. And the reason is I have a very
large family. My mom d was one of eight. They're Catholics.
There's just even my cousins who are younger than me
are just cranking out babies. Had an alarming rate shock
him and every single person there just absolutely demolishes cream
of crab soup as soon as they get to the party.
(20:46):
Like there, you know how like when you're talking to
somebody and they're holding a beer or a solo cup or
glass of wine. Here's chatting. In my family, it's a
plastic bowl with a plastic spoon, just inhaling and.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Is it spicy? Is it a little bit spicy?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Oh, it's sweet and it is devastatingly good. It is
the richest, creamiest thing. And so for years I didn't
do dairy because it used to fuck my stomach up. Yeah,
so I stopped doing it. And so as this outsider,
and now I can get back into it. But as
as an outsider insider in my own family, just sitting
back and watching twenty two to thirty people just inhanding
(21:21):
cream of crab soup is the most Maryland. It's beautiful,
it's a great tradition. It smells incredible, but and.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
It's got a lot of old bay and it doesn't
know if you had it.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Now that you're going to be an East Coast doggie again,
I'll make sure to get you some and you will,
you'll be fully on board, all right. It is crazy delicious,
but uh, dairy forward, I would say, and it becomes
dairy backward if you know what I mean, And I
thank you.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I do, all right, So I'll finish up this article please.
I'd love it. Even when previously introduced to cocaine, Ruth
and Flus team noted that the insects routinely opted for
pure sugar water over sugar water laced with cocaine. First
study author Travis Fillow theorized the reason may reside in
(22:13):
a fli's sense of taste that is found on their
legs because they share seventy five percent of our organs
and their taste buds are on their fucking legs. Insects
are evolutionarily primed to avoid plant toxins, and cocaine is
a plant toxin. They have taste receptors on their arms
their tarsal segments, so they can put their hand in
(22:34):
something before it goes in their mouth and decide, I'm
not going to touch that. After affirming that cocaine activates
a fruitflies bitter sensing taste receptors, rooth and flu and
philly saw switched off these nerves. Once deactivated, there was
a little There was little to stop the flies from
developing a cocaine habit. These modified flies were subsequently introduced
(22:54):
to sugar water infused with a low concentration of cocaine.
Within sixteen hours, the insects indicated a preference for the
drug lace drink. At load doses, they start running around
just like people. At very high doses, they get incapacitated
with it, which is also true in people. So what
is what? I don't understand why they're doing this. Oh,
(23:17):
we can really start to understand the mechanisms of cocaine choice.
And the more you understand about the mechanism, the more
you have a chance to find a therapeutic that might
act on that mechanism. All right, well, there you go.
So they're trying to figure out how to get people
off cocaine. They're getting flies on to get people off.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
I think that sounds okay, great work. I think that's
great work from the science and medical community at large.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Don't you always wonder what inspires people to choose a
specific study to dedicate their time and energy to the Like,
is this person definitively like what I want to do?
I want study cocaine?
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Yeah, does cocaine suppresses your appetite, right, like you don't
really get hungry when you're in correct. Okay, that's interesting too,
Like I thought it was going in that direction that
they were trying to figure out how to like get
these damn flies from eating so much fruit, get these
flies off these bananas. A great stat but no, okay,
medical reasons to use cocaine, Yeah, yeah, But I think
(24:28):
about that for every career and job, and you know,
every road trip I'm on and everything, I like look
at the mailbox in the middle of nowhere and the
driveway up to the house, and I know what decisions?
How are I? Like, we're the same species? How am
I the same as this person that made these decisions
to put them out there? And I feel that way
with careers. I feel even when we were even when
(24:51):
I was like going into college, I really didn't know.
I thought I wanted to be an animator, a children's
book writer or whatever, but I really didn't know how
to do anything. But so many of my friends were like,
I'm gonna do turf sciences and I'm gonna may be
a run golf course golf courses, And I was like,
you're gonna do turf sciences and they're like yes, or
(25:11):
they'd be like, I'm going in a nursing, which is
great obviously, but you go you already why? And it's
usually because I know a guy who became an accountant
because he went to a house of a girl that
went to high school with us, and the house was
really nice and was our uncle's house, and her uncle
was an accountant, and in that moment he decided I'm
going to be an accountant because the guy had a
(25:32):
house that he liked when he was seventeen.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Wow, and so he was just like, this is what
I want and I'm gonna get it. How do I
get there? Accounting?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Yes? Like entertainment for me was certainly watching the Chris
Farley era of Saturday Live into the incredible run of
like that Tina fe My Rudolph era, where like Molly Shannon,
you're like, damn that era. I was like, I like
watching this, my friends like talking about it. I'm going
(26:00):
to pursue entertainment in some way. But even then you're like,
how the hell did this all come together? Yeah, it's
hard to imagine.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
It really is hard to imagine. And that's why I
think all the time where people are. I was always like,
there is no path. There is no like when people
want to be like, tell me how you did it,
and it'll be like I can. But it's as unique
and specific as anybody's, you know, like there are maybe
certain things that you could do, but they're just so
wide to bring you to being in this gig.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
And that's why I never enjoyed inside the actors studio.
I was never a fan. I thought the format was fine.
I love the idea of like actors can turn on
the charm in a way that you go, oh, you
are a star. I want to listen to everything you're
saying and doing. But I would watch it and I'd
be like, this is all just irrelevant, Like the path
that this person took. You're like, I can't do what
(26:54):
they just did. And the questions were always like third
year directing major, second year acting under Sudi blah blah blah,
and you're like, you're not going to learn anything. No.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
It's like someone being like, well, the way I got
my TV deal was my father's a billionaire and.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I know and I know what you're referencing too, and
my god, it's just that thing where everybody wants a path. Yes, man,
that's why academia is so fun. Is it gives you
a path, or at least the perception of a path.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
The perception of a path.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
And sometimes it's a very smart path.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Give me a story, Scottie.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Speaking about Dairy Forward. Mother wins sixty two mile ultra

won the one hundred k race. It's set on this
Instagram post after giving birth to her daughter only six
months earlier.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
That's amazing. I'm looking at it. I'm looking at it right.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Not only has Stephanie breastfed her girl several times along
the way at aid stations, but she also won the race,
starting the race from far behind with no access to

Or Twitter or I got Johnny Pemberton are good buddy
who we should have on bronanas. He's the best dude,
he's on Fallout. If anybody watches fall Out, we love that.
Johnny Pemberton, he was just on a podcast and I
think it's like sex and relationships based and the woman
host was like red flag or green flag if the
woman you're dating has no social media and he's like
(31:22):
green flag, the biggest green, the biggest. She goes? What
why he goes? Social media is the worst thing to
ever happen to society. It's incredible. We'll have it. Donnie
On he's the greatest. I think he plays the character
Thattius on Fallout, which is a crazy good show for
something I knew nothing about. Sharing an Instagram carousel of
(31:42):
her POSTPARTU Marathon journey, case reflected on her triumph, Well
that was a surprise, she wrote. I went to the
Ultratrail Snowdonia one hundred kilometer last weekend with no expect
no expectations, just six months after having Little Pepper, three
years after my last race, due to recent miscarriages and
(32:04):
IVY failures. It wasn't meant. It was meant to be
a warm up to get to hard rock, which I
guess is another race and I hope not just a
hard rock Cafe. Yeah, she really likes to earn.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
It was relling just get it, like, I can't wait.
I'm going to hard rock to loom and I'm looking
forward to it.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
I'm gonna run sixty two miles to earn. And the
thing is, I don't know one menuid im at hard
Rock ant either. I would make the joke. I would
make the reference the Jimmy Hendricks beans and rice. I
don't know the beans and hen drinks. I had no idea.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
I'm telling you the menu right now. Baby, it's the
vegend you would get the he should get the vegendary burger.
It was spicy Diablo burger.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Yeah, okay. Oh, so they don't have cool rock band names.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Like, what's going on?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
That's dumb? Get tracked together, guy.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Why isn't there an Oreo speed Wagon?
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Oh that's so good.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
That was actually from that's from a TJF. Friday's Baby.
Oh yes, no they're not. No, no, no, that's weird.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Okay, yeah, that's dumb.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
It is weird.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what's going on
over there at hard Rock Cafe.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Normal sandwich names.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
She case added, My goals were just to enjoy myself
and make sure pepper was fed at all the AID
stations that I'm saying aid stations, not AIDS stage stations.
She's not spraying pepper out of her nipples. She is
not going to where AIDS exists. Give given it is given,
is given out freely with watermelon slices. As I no
(33:48):
longer have a ut MB index, I started in the
last wave, thirty minutes after the leader. Sure I had
hundreds of runners in front of me, but I could
go at my own pace and blissful igants of my placing.
That's a good attitude, and like just don't worry about
anybody else. You just run in a way that makes
you happy.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
So wait, here's my question.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
I hope I have an answer.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
It's just so wait, the people who have a UTMB ranking,
they don't get a head's thirty minute start on these
other people. Everybody has their own time, correct.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
I think it's what she's saying, it's a delayed start,
that there's certain people that are taking it more seriously
than others, so those people get to go off first,
which is I think how the New York Marathon works too, right, Okay,
like the people people at the front.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
They just go go because they don't want to be
like like have to like avoid other people coming.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Out run by all of us limping, blistered, funny wig
wearing celebrity first time runners like I do. Remember when
Lance Armstrong ran the marathon and he said it was
harder than the Tor de Frants.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Whoa for real?
Speaker 1 (34:52):
It really stuck with me. Yeah, because that guy, I
mean obviously was juiced.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Yeah he was.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
He was juiced out of his mind.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Yeah, six testicles. He was getting a lot of I.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Think cycling a lot of them, if not all of them,
are pretty pumped up.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
You could say there was Actually I listened to an
entire podcast about or I started to and it was
so boring I stopped.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
But sometimes there are that like there.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Was a big thing in the Tour defronts of someone
using a goddamn motor on their bike. Yes, they had
it a motor. Isn't that crazy? That seems like one
thing definitely would it be happening? Is so what putting
a motor into the bike race? But yeah, people have
been doing it from like the beginning of the Tour
de France.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Apparently, Man, that's so dumb. But going back to this runner.
What I'm saying is like, hey, she went at her
own pace and blissful ignorance, Like screw that cheating. She
wasn't cheating at all. She was run along feet her kid.
Yeah nice describes the marathon as being like riding bike.
Every kilometer that passed remind me that I hadn't lost
a thing over these past three years. I didn't even
know I had won until I crossed the line being
(36:00):
minutes backman that the race organizers needed to check the
chip time. She said, I won. I think I repeated
it to myself ten times. She continued. Case advised all
other mothers to never be afraid of setting big goals
for yourself.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Very cool. Also, don't worry if you don't want to
set any goals the first six months after you have
a child. It is okay to be completely overwhelmed. Even
as a father. I was overwhelmed for at least five years.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
So take your time. You don't need to run an
ultra marathon either.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Nope, but yeah, start with a splitting the city. It's
a downhill one k off Bananas Veest in Denver, October fourth,
be there or b.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Square Come on New Moms, pump and dump and go
to dump.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Bring your baby, Well, we'll figure something out.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
We'll hold your baby.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
We'll hold your baby.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
And that's a.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
That's Banana's promise.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
You bring in new baby, We're gonna hold it for you.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Yeah, We're gonna sit down and support its head and
hold your baby.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
But I'm good at it.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
But take that thing back in fifteen seconds because I
don't want anything to go wrong, and I'll take four photos.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
I'll say I'll hold on to it for a couple
of minutes. All right, pretty, I'm pretty pretty confident in
that area.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
I'm gonna sit down, I'm gonna put grip tape on
both of my hands, some wide receivers sticky tape on there,
and say, let me see that thing, let me see
that little Pepper. Also, I have to own like four
of those long haired dogs ins in my life and
they're all named Pepper. So to me, I associate the
name Pepper with long haired wiener dogs.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
That is interesting. Can I tell you what my newest
my newest issue of interacting with Facebook marketplaces, Scotty.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
There's nothing I want to hear more.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
I love that buying moving blankets I'm trying to buy
moving blankets. And the people who are selling moving blankets
on Facebook Messenger, they got law personality, and they got
they got a lot of they got a lot of
pepper in their responses to everything. They're angry all the
(38:19):
time about people contacting them to try and buy their
fucking blankets. They're mad about it. You text them with them,
they're angry the whole time.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Why.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
I don't know, because they're just like so many people
are asking me, and it's like you're selling something. Fucking
deal with it. You're making money off of something that
no one wants ever anymore, I know.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
And also just deal with the first person say yes,
come tomorrow at eleven am and here's how much they cost.
And then the next person you go, I have somebody coming.
They're supposed to come at eleven am. I will message
you at eleven thirty if they're not here and you
can come pick them up. It's very easy to organize
selling blankets. And then as sous A sald you take
the add down. It's an these people, these people, you know,
(39:05):
I had this race once. You had a race, Yes,
when I saw race mountain bikes.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
I so when you Okay, So explain a mountain bike
race to me. Is it like a long distance race?
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Ok? Yeah? So I the type I did. I was sixteen,
I was fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, because that's how old I was.
I graduated high school when I was seventeen September baby,
and so I raced junior class on the NorVa Circuit,
which is like just you know, the organization, the over
seeing body. And I started a beginner and then moved
(39:37):
up to advanced beginner, and I think the next level
is called like intermedia, and so that's the highest ever got.
But it's cross country as opposed to downhill, and so
downhill is what you're imagining. You bomb down a ski
run on a bike with some suspension, you go really fast.
But I was really good at climbing. Okay, I could.
I was really fast because I was I was six
two and one hundred and fifty pounds. Wow.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
It was like a little bike frame. It was like
a bike frame riding a bicycle basically, and I was
an athlete, so it was really good. I was a
good and I did a handful of races in Maryland
and Pennsylvania and then I kind of did a half
assed race in Massachusetts when I was college, but it
had already started eating craps.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
So but here's a question. So if it's cross country, yes,
are you still riding a bike that has all of
that intense suspension for going if you go uphill? Do
you come downhill after.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
You have a front shock on? That's it? So there,
it's what's called a hearttale.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Okay, And so sorry you you started eating like shit.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
So no, so you foun about this. One of the
earliest races, I was sixteen and it was a well
known race in Maryland and it was on Mother's Day
and it's called Mutter's Day, like mud look at that.
And it was a rainy day and I went.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
Drove my moms want to do yeah, And.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
I would drive myself out. And then I worked at
the bike doctor, So I had a jersey, a team
jersey yeah. And I would go find guys that were
over each team that were also on the team that
didn't know me because there were seven stores or whatever
eight stores, and I'd be like, hey, man, can you
sign this? Basically they had to sign as my legal
guardian so that I could race at sixteen, And so
(41:12):
while I'm signing up to do probably advanced, beginner, junior
blah blah blah blah blah. There was about thirty racers
and then the way it works curty is like it
usually starts, everybody lined up. There's sort of a sprint
over a field or some distance, and then you go
to what's called single track, which is narrow trails through
the woods, up and down hills, over rocks, creeking beds.
That's what cross country is. And this one was eighteen
(41:32):
miles somewhere thirty two miles and it takes a while
and it's really fun. So before when I was getting
signed up, you know, I'm fifteen, so everybody over twenty
five looks old to me, very old, ye. And there
was a guy in like a yellow bike kitch Jersey.
He's got his pearl zoomy bike shorts on, he's got
his bike helmet on, and it's so muddy, and the
(41:56):
rain starts coming and everybody's cheering because we're like, yeah,
muddy Mutter's day. And this guy just dives in the
biggest puddle and starts doing mud angels. He's howling, he's
slapping the water to make a mess he's rubbing the
muddy onself, and we're all like, oh, this guy's tried
to like psych everybody out because he must have a
(42:17):
race coming, and he's just trying to prove that he
doesn't care how cold, how muddy it is. Get it
over with, don't worry about because the rest of us
are stepping round puddles or riding our bikes around puddles.
So my race goes in. I race, and I don't
do that well. I think in my first three races,
i'd finished top five. I was good, but this one
I was just slipping out. I was getting stuck in mud,
(42:39):
like at stream Cross. It was just a I'm frustrated
because I'm a kid and I'm so competitive When I
was sixteen years old, so I probably finish in the
top fifteen, but thirteen fourteen, fifteen, and I'm pissed and
I'm bummed, and I'm wet, and I'm cold and my
leg's hurt. And you don't get a trophy. You don't
get anything.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
Banana and that's it.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
Yeah, you get as many bananas as you want. And
power bars were new flavors back then, so you got
a power bar and so I go back to my
car and I kind of strip out of all the
wet stuff and I towel off and I put on,
you know, just warm clothes, probably a lacrosse or soccer
warm up back in the day. And I go back
to the race start to see if I can see
any friends or other bike mechanics or whatever, and that
(43:21):
guy is still playing in the mud. So this guy
has not started racing. He's still got bike here on,
he still got clipless pedal shoes on. And finally some
person's like, yo, dude, what time is your race? The
guy goes, Oh, I'm too fat to race. I'm just
here to meet chicks, and everybody just celebrates, and it
(43:43):
lifted my spirits. It made me instantly realize. Also, this
race was in Maryland, so I was like, this is
the most Maryland weirdo of all time.
Speaker 2 (43:51):
I love that so much.
Speaker 1 (43:52):
Yeah, I'm too fat to race, man, I'm just here
to meet chicks. And everybody cheers and I'm like this guy,
And it was probably the moment I was like, what
am I? Why do I care? Why do I care?
I finished fourteenth out of forty riders. It was just
so funny to see this grown man like just hogging
out the bud. The chicks are talking to this guy.
(44:13):
He's just a one of one. It's good to be
one of one in those situations.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
Oh man, I love that. That's great.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
I like it that.
Speaker 2 (44:21):
It was like kind of a turning point for you
as well.
Speaker 1 (44:24):
It was it was like it made me happy that
I'm like, what, I don't care that I didn't win
a stupid medal that'll be on a shelf for four
years and my parents will secretly throw it away. What
do I care? Give us some Mother's Day.
Speaker 2 (44:37):

like of a kid's life where your parent, especially with
your first child, you're like, when are they gonna roll over?
Like why aren't they Why aren't they crawling yet? Why
aren't they sitting up yet? Why aren't they doing this
(47:09):
thing yet? They're supposed to be doing this thing? And
