You can't laugh, You're not here yet.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
And laugh.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Scientists taught monkeys to use money. First, they robbed and
they sold sex.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Okay, too much monkey business, because my story has a
baboon in it, So here we go. Our first video
podcast turned to monkey Round with Bananas World. Would you.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Zillion pieces? Would Banana Baby? Banana Banasa guys, gowns, non
binary pals. Welcome to the first video episode of Bananas.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
If fel good and it feels right, I am Champagne.
Scottie landis also known as Banana Boy Number two. Sitting
across from the one and only.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Kurt Brown Owler. Hello, everyone, Thank you so much for
listening to the silly, silliest little podcast ever was. And
we are here, of course well with the actor who
was our original actor and comedian and podcaster and writer.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
And author America Sweetheart, America Seatheart, producer, wife mother.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
She was in order her biggest her biggest credit is
in Norbert and we're very excited to have her. She
was our first guest on our podcast in two twenty twenty,
right at the beginning of the pandemic.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
The good times and now.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
She's here for the fall of democracy. Welcome Kristenshaw. What
man anor reveal? You really did a good job.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
But I know I had to be very quiet, totally.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
I'd very cool. Well, as soon as I said Norbert, everybody.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
Now, oh they didn't because the movie is called Norbit,
not nor Bird. Everybody's frantically googling nor Bird. Yeah, although
that's it could be a movie. I'd be in. Yeah,
life on I was holding this book called life on
Homicide yep, and it was written it was dedicated to

(02:21):
just handwritten to Karen and Georgia. Wow, not author, because
I guess that they're they're the homicide head.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
They're the dead heads. Yep. I got him, pinned them
to the wall with.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
A big laugh on the deadeads. I loved it.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
I didn't see it coming. I set you up and
you smacked me down.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
This was Champagne Scott Atlantis.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
Does Kris having Champagne got nervous shoddy about being on camera?

Speaker 2 (02:49):
No, not at all. I there was a golfer named
Champagne Tony Lima, and then there was a singer named
Evelyn Champagne King, and I thought for the videos we
needed Champagne Scotti lamps. I need to bring it back.
I like it.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
I just want to point out that this is the
first video, uh like you said, and I think that
they haven't figured out the blocking yet and they're having
me sit very awkwardly in profile.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Which again she's saying this as she's looking directly down
the barrel of a camp.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
I'm doing everything I can because if I look at Kurt,
one of my.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Best friends, Yeah, I don't want you to look at me.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
Why not?

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Why not?

Speaker 2 (03:30):
That's what it's about, the realness of being on video together.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
Yeah, it's just it anyway. So I wasn't ready to
sell to sell this uh look yet because I wanted
it to go down. I wanted to take my job
to go a little lower before I presented.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
The correct We should have a camera right here for
you next time.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
Yeah, I feel like I should sit there where the
banana is.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
You should be here with you know, it's not a
bad idea.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
I didn't want to say anything because everybody was so
stressed out when I got here. You just see people
about the first video.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah, could also be the last video. I mean, you
were on our first audio episodes and we held for
an ad break.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Oh, and you made so much fun of us.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
I think you're going to have ads.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
I held for an ad break and you really were like, oh, yeah,
you think you're gonna have ads?

Speaker 2 (04:28):
You know what.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
A lot of podcasts you like that when I challenge you,
what are you guys in the top one hundred comedy
podcast what number are you?

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (04:39):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Usually we fluctuate between ninety and one hundred and twenty.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
Not bad.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah, we're girls.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
That's pretty good.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
You have a podcast, now I do have to.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
I didn't know that.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
Oh my god, you didn't ideah, Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Nobody tells me.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
You know what, though we've only put out three episodes.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
I'm also only out for three weeks.

Speaker 4 (05:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
That sounds very fun.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
But it is number negative five thousand.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
It's hard to break it big.

Speaker 4 (05:09):
We did break it, but I don't know how long
will stay. You guys, please watch Extraorded Areas, but don't
watch it listen to it. But if you do watch it,
then you get to see like this.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Oh, you guys do video too, We do video?

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Yeah, and where does it?

Speaker 2 (05:24):
So?

Speaker 1 (05:25):
This was the conversation on head gun. This is the
conversation with this guy that we had with Kristen when
we said this was on video, she said, tell me,
She said, where does it air? I said, like it
was on NBC.

Speaker 4 (05:39):
What's going on? I was like video, I don't remember
you guys do. If you guys were doing videos, I
would have been watching. I Google and google as much
as I can, and uh, there's no videos of you
guys doing this.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Kerson wanted to eat lunch during it.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
I thought we were going to eat lunch together. You
guys were like, it's at twelve o'clock. I'm like, well,
are we going to be eating lunch while we do it?
And you said that's disgusting? Whereas I think it might
be quite an interesting podcast.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
Oh yeah, to listen to.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Is that how you.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Like this?

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Wow? That is an interesting podcast.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Is a very interesting podcast.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
It's called University and it's just different guests and how
they eat. You get celebrity guests, and what does it
sound like when a celebrity guest eat. People are dying
to know, you know what?

Speaker 4 (06:25):
It depends on the type of food we get. Yeah,
like if we just eat mochi cakes for lunch.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah, you don't be slipping Ramen on that are we
Oh yeah, that would be only fans, I think. Oh, well,
hold on, so it's called extraordinarians.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
Yeah, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
I just never got to date anything. Yeah, it's just like,
well we interview people who have done extraordinary things, like
one guy blew up. Oh it's a while, like your podcast.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Second very interesting. They kind of do weird interesting things.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
Yes, mostly records. It's a getness book of world records.
So U whereas your guests, you know what, it's parallel.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
It's totally parallel. Here's here's a story that you guys
should have on the guy that we did, which is
there's a man in I don't know where he will
look at you. He made he made a match stick
Eiffel Tower out of I think like big one, two
hundred and twenty five thousand match sticks. And then Guinness
was like, no, you didn't use the right kind of matches.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
Well, yeah, like if he's going to break a record,
he's is if they're not real match sticks, Like if
he was like kind of whittling some then that's not
a record, and that in my wow.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
This is a hard line for this podcast. You're very
quickly going to have to go. You're going to go
through all the get US people pretty fast.

Speaker 4 (07:55):
You think we're gonna last that long?

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Takes crazy.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
I do one hundred episodes of records, Sure I can
see it, no problem.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
Yeah, well people are setting and resetting records.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Do you know what the oldest podcast is? That seems
like the person to interview? The person has the Guinness
Record for he's been on a long time?

Speaker 4 (08:15):
Yeah, has an't he? Who's the oldest part? I can't
remember anything.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
It was Mark Maren, but he was early. It's not
the oldest. There's definitely people older than Mark's oldest. We
have super like the first popular one.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
I mean, I guess it would also be like anyone
who had a radio show before TV.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Open Source open Source podcast, created by Christopher Linden, started
in two thousand and three. It's considered the longest running
podcast that is still active today.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
Why why does he want to talk about open source?
It's important open source or open source?

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah? Not open so sorry, I know what your interests are.
That doesn't computers don't interest you.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
But wounds if twenty two years of open sores, I
mean that have it healed? Just talking about different types
different ones.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
Maybe y'all will have this Christopher.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Guy on Christopher, I think you should. Christopher Linden is
two thousand and three, twenty two years upon.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Twenty two years of podcast and he doesn't want to stop.
He can't, he can't, he's not allowed.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
What happens if he stops?

Speaker 1 (09:23):
He loses?

Speaker 4 (09:24):
What happens if you guys stop?

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Open wounds? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Yeah, word, you want to hear about this? Kristin monkeys
speaking of Yeah?

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Is that the? Is that the?

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Yeah? Well it could be. But you like to interrupt
segus so much. It's one of your hobbies, as I've
noticed from hot time, whenever things are changing over from
one thing to another thing.

Speaker 4 (09:50):
All right, well for it.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
No, we're moving on extraordinarians named like shaw yea.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
On Headgum and wherever wherever you get your.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Podcasts, convenient location for that studio for you who is
on it?

Speaker 4 (10:08):
I don't live anywhere near there.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
You haven't told me? Who's honest?

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (10:14):
I do it with Tony Hale and that over.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Actively. Yeah, they're the best.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
And also and then all the and Kevin Bartlett's our producer.
He may always they do a lot of work. I
don't do you guys have a producer.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
And in the booth today and today better be.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
Shouting them out off because they do so much work.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
It's a lot of work.

Speaker 4 (10:44):
But my guy says he enjoys it, so it doesn't
feel like work. Is that true for you?

Speaker 2 (10:49):
Do you enjoy it? Or she? Does it feel like work?

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Look at that?

Speaker 4 (10:58):
Get the cameras to cut to are you know, so
they can see who's talking here.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
We honor them up to a point and that's it.
But hold on, I want to say what they before
you jump in Christian when you started recording Bob's Burgers,
you guys used to stand in a studio together, right
like you still do? Well every people, it's incredible.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
People pipe in from New York.

Speaker 4 (11:24):
Who are we're also standing in a studio, but everyone's
standing live doing it together. That is every Wednesday, And
I say, and but except for today, but also, uh,
you know, if you're making not to disparage any of
my castmates, but if you.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
Here we go like this.

Speaker 4 (11:44):
I just feel like if you're making, if you're going
to make an animated show, maybe hire people who aren't
movie stars and a list celebrities to do the voices
and you might be able to get them together. That's
true why we have time you're together. But other shows

(12:06):
that that really like famous people, Yes, they're like just.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Harder to get Phoning it in, No, that's not what
I said.

Speaker 4 (12:16):
They're not phoning it in that you.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
Heard it here first Folks podcast.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
But they might be on an ID inline from a
location of where they're shooting, but they're not phoning it
in in the sense that you're saying, what is that
called it?

Speaker 2 (12:29):
When two things are the same thing, you're saying they
literally are phoning.

Speaker 4 (12:35):
You're saying figuratively, figuratively turn phoning it.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
In called it's a metaphor video.

Speaker 4 (12:41):
It's weird, right, what is it?

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Because I called metaphor?

Speaker 2 (12:45):
Sure, you're not actually using a phone.

Speaker 4 (12:47):
But you're somebody in their car right now screaming what
this is?

Speaker 2 (12:50):
I'd say, idiom, I guess, yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
I'm going to stick with metaphor.

Speaker 4 (12:55):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Pressing forward, scientists talked the monkey is the concept of money. Okay,
not long after their robin I'm paying for sex here.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
It is all right.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
You may have thought things.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
This was in uh.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
T, this was in ZME science. Thank you zme science.
What a website written by that's a real place, Yeah, Kristen,
Kristin Christen, you're looking at you.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
Don't get alerts from zme science.

Speaker 4 (13:27):
Where standing for?

Speaker 2 (13:30):
Of course?

Speaker 4 (13:31):
Quite an acronym.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Probably zoologies in there.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
This is written by the delightful tbpewey.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Oh best in the biz?

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Is that? How you would pronounce that? Tbpuey tbpewey. Okay,
tb pewe. This was actually written in twenty eleven, So
this is an old, old article.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
You may it's been updated.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
Oh, it's updated in twenty twenty three. All right, here
it is. You may have thought things like current see
your money are concepts known solely to humans. While it's
true some animals might have a sense of ownership, treading
resources hasn't been deserved in any other species besides Homo sapiens. However,
in two thousand and five, an economists, psychologist psychologist duo
from the Yale University managed to teach seven kapuchin monkeys

(14:18):
how to use money. So he went into some unexpected
territory not long after. Okay, the kapuchin has a small
brain and it's pretty much focused on food and sex
at Keith Chen at Yale economists, who, along with Lori
Santosa psychologists, are the two researchers who made the study quote.
You should really think of a capuchin as a bottomless
stomach of want. Chen says, you can feed the marshmallows

(14:41):
all day, they'll throw up and then come back for more.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Oh, I see the vikings primate vikings.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
And then, in a very interesting move for Tbpewey, he
then just goes and talks about a totally different study
for half for a full page.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Well that's what you want, hey, all the information about everything.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
This about a different one here. It is okay, But
when Chen and Santos first started their study, they didn't
have a particular goal in mine. It was just as
simple as giving a monkey a dollar and seeing what
would happen, which was exactly the case. So instead of
the dollar, however, a silver disc with a hole in
its center was employed as a means of currency for
the capuchins. It took several months of training for the

(15:20):
capuchins to learn that they could exchange such token for fruit.
After they understood this, each monkey was given twelve tokens
to decide on how to spend it. On food valued
at different prices, right, researchers observed that the monkeys could
even budget. Researchers then changed the market and put jello
at a lower price to see if monkeys would buy
fewer grapes and more jello. They acted exactly like the

(15:41):
current laws of economics dictates for humans as well. Then
they taught them how to gamble, saw that they made
the same.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Natural step sponsored by draft kings they're right now.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Oh, and then saw that they made the same irrational
decisions a human gambler would make as well. The data
generated by the capuchin monkeys, oh, Chen says quote make
them statistically indistinguishable from most stock market investors. Ooh, taking
a swing at wall st bottomless pit Chen doesn't care.
But did the Capuchins truly understand the value of money

(16:17):
or did they just behi behave mindlessly to receive food.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
One of the researchers cut circular slices of cucumber, similar
to the discs that were handed at to the capuchin
as monkey fed them to the monkeys instead of their
usual cube like shape. One of the monkeys took a slice,
chewed a hole in the middle of it, and then
immediately went to one of the researchers see if she
could buy something tastier with it. So they do understand
the concept of money. There was stealing too. Not a

(16:42):
single monkey saved any of the tokens, but most of
them tried to subtract a few more tokens when they
were handed out. The monkeys were given tokens one at
a time, which were inserted in a separate chamber. Blah
blah blah blah blah blah. But on one occasion everything
sprung into chashs when a capuchin tried to make a
run for it with a tray filled with tokensylinger, Yeah,
the chaos was intense, and then this sentence that was

(17:03):
a tough time for researchers.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
I bet it was.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
I feel like it was a tougher time for the monkeys. Yeah,
But anyways, something else happened then too. Grasping the notion
of currency simply means you understand that you can exchange
money for goods and services. One of the researchers during
the chaotic episode mentioned earlier, observed how one of the
monkeys exchanged money with another for sex. After that, it
was over the monkey which was paid immediately used it

(17:27):
to buy a grape. There you have it, folks, sound
familiar and almost all aspects. Capuchins managed to understand money
and use it in a manner not too different from
plain old homo sapiensoh.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
That's pretty wild. Yeah, yeah, my goodness.

Speaker 4 (17:40):
They were having a good time with the money.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
They were gambling and fucking, i mean, eating it up.

Speaker 4 (17:45):
They were also able to get what they wanted in
a way that you know with the handlers they have
to wait till the handlers give it to them. But
they had the power to get what they needed.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
My pretty cool goodness. That's also why would that be
hard on the researchers or whatever? It seems like anything
unexpected is what you want when you're doing research. You
want the craziest thing flaws in here.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
Right at the beginning, he said, small brain. It doesn't
matter the size of the brain.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
It's the wrinkles, that's right.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah, because you can make it
very big by the by heaving oh yeah, like little guys.

Speaker 4 (18:20):
Yeah, so it doesn't matter how big the head is.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
When someone's the smooth brain, they're like saying, you're dumb.

Speaker 4 (18:25):
Have you gotten that. No, but I've heard I've never
heard that as an insult.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
Oh, as a real smooth brain. Ass, I'm gonna.

Speaker 4 (18:35):
Start using that because it's you know, it's good. It's mean,
but only if only if you're smart.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yeah, if you're too dumb to understand it, then it's
not mean at all.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
If you're just a smooth brain and somebody calls you
a smooth brain, you don't know, that's it.

Speaker 4 (18:52):
Seems kind of nice, like, oh they think I'm smooth, Yeah, like.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
Fresh sea wax. My brain is smooth.

Speaker 4 (18:59):
Yeah. Oh, they're so smooth they know how to handle.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
This is smooth operator. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
My brain is shaved. Yeah that's cool, good old shaved brain.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
I don't think this is a surprising. Also, didn't we
do a story once about ravens that were bringing bottle
caps in exchange for something like ravens.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
They were giving it as gifts. Oh okay, yeah, yeah,
that was just like the old classic crow gifting.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
Somebody figured out how to clean this is what it was.
Ravens in the town cleaned up cigarette butts, and if
you brought a cigarette, the raven flew a cigarette but
in They would get food as a reward and so
then there were like fifty ravens just cleaning up cigarette
butts all around the city.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
And that pretty good.

Speaker 4 (19:34):
They make money.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
Yeah, because they also like communicate with each other and
tell other, like crows, how it works. Yeah, that is smart. Yeah,
I love it.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Let's do it. When I went to campoo Talk, you know,
the great summer camp. I went to a summer camp
called Camp Poo Talk in Montalk, Maryland for two summers,
and we had to build our own teepiece to live in.
It was so fun, and they had a lot of
Native American camp counselors who would come in from all
over the country. Its first Nations, First nations, sure, Indigenous persons.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
Is it first name? I think you can say Indigenous
or Native.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Okay, the real ones, the people who were here first,
that we stole their land from, who we love.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
First Nations is like a Canadian I learned that in Canada. Yeah,
it's apply here. Is this I don't?

Speaker 2 (20:20):
I mean, I thought American Indian was the correct thing
to say, because Indian doesn't mean from India. It means
something else. Because you have Indie. Oh yeah, you have.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
You have American Indian Movement, which.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
Is you know, let's find out right now, what's the
correct thing?

Speaker 4 (20:37):
I interrupted your No, they for something, You're probably going
to cut out.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
No, believe it is.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
We don't cut anything. Everything is in. Yeah, I heard
the most respect that. I really liked it.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
The term is Native American or American Indian is also used.
Many Native people also prefer Indigenous copy that.

Speaker 4 (20:59):
So I heard first Nations from a white guy in Canada.
So I thought that was pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he was and so but it also
suggests nationhood, which is still a whitey concept, you.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Know, yes, so true. Okay, So before the fur I
went to Okay in two years they had a big
kind of thing performance space, and at the end of
every four week session or two accession, they would do
a show and everybody would sing and people do things.
And in between my first summer there and my second,
they installed a giant wooden painted owl in that sort

(21:33):
of bleachered space and they thought it was cool and
it looked what you would expect it to be, like, oh,
this is a Native American depiction of now. And all
the counselors of the second season were like, we don't
like owls. Owls are not something that indigenous people like,
and we're like, what should have been? They should be like,
it should have been ravens. They're the first to show up.

(21:54):
They're extremely smart. And it got to the point where
one of the camp counselors at night made a giant
mudbox and threw it at the owl's face. So when
all the parents and all the family members came on
the last day, the awl just had a splat all
over its and they were like, yeah, we don't fuck
with owls. Yeah, but they're like, what should it have been?
Should have been a raven up there? And I was like,

(22:15):
this is the best. It was so good for an
eleven year old kid to be like, there's more going
on in the w Yes, there's things I don't know
about going on in the.

Speaker 4 (22:23):
World that I was thinking about the ravens with the cigarette,
But so you know what would be even better is
if smokers would throw their fucking butts away. Thank you.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
Nobody ever said, and you're hear it here first in
their car, like what, like what it is pretty crazy?

Speaker 4 (22:43):
It's crazy, and it's like it's not even a thought.
It's like I put this on the ground.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Americans don't really smoke anymore. We just did it in
the last episode or two episodes ago. If you had
to guess what state had the highest per capita cigarette smoking,
what would you guess? Japan of the United States.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Also not that was a fast move.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
The state the state American state of the fifty states,
which one has the highest? Alaska, that's a great guess.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
That's a good top five.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
It's West Virginia.

Speaker 4 (23:15):
West Virginia very small population cigarette I know the North Carolina.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Virginia does too. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (23:22):
Yeah, probably have like the freshest ones.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yeah, it taste a little batter.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
Like I said, I always keep a pack of Nat
Sherman's in my house because every once a while and
he's like, dove me cigarettes and I'm like I do,
and people light up. They want one secrete. They just
enjoy it for the thirty seconds that back.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
It's delightful. And then as we said, not Shermans, well,
because they we want them to get a treat.

Speaker 4 (23:53):
Yeah, they need money to.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
I was. We've said, we've like struggled with the anything
with the kids where it's like we give them five
dollars a week for what reason. It's called universal basic
household income.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
Yeah, but I love that they kid. That's great.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
They did they like, yeah, they do chores around the house.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
What chores are they doing?

Speaker 1 (24:15):
They load and unload the dishwasher pretty good because Olive
feeds the dog. They have to make their beds every morning.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
That's good.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
And that's about all we can pull off so far.

Speaker 4 (24:28):
That's good.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
Yea. What was your big childhood chore? What did you
like to do when you were forced?

Speaker 4 (24:32):
I didn't like to do anything.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
Okay, good, But you also.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
Were on a farm, so there was like weird chores, right.

Speaker 4 (24:38):
I didn't have to do those, but I like, I
remember dusting, just hating it so much. Dusting was bad dusting.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
I've never dusted in my whole life.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
We grew up in a Victorian home in the seventeen hundreds.

Speaker 4 (24:52):
I mean we had these coffee tables with glass. They
would so I'd had to like spray the glass and
then like do the wood and like wow, and then
also just yeah empty doing the dishes after dinner. I
remember I would spend so much time and I would
pretend I was on the price is right, So I

(25:13):
would like hold up each dish and like show it
off and then put it but it took forever. Yes,
and then I would miss out on others.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
Hey, hold up each dish. I can imagine you off
no one right to no one. Oh, no one was there, Yeah,
no one was there.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
I love that. Though she was a natural performer, she
was already picturing herself. I love that.

Speaker 4 (25:36):
I like the five dollars.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
I like, just yeah, I need to start doing that.

Speaker 4 (25:40):
Ruby's been asking for things and I'm like, well, it's
not Christmas, it's not your birthday, so I don't know,
You're going to have to earn it, right. So then
when she went something, then she starts doing stuffy Yeah. Yeah,
but it might be better to get.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
Her in a so right. So, But the thing is
what's interesting about it is that once you do it,
and then you have to let them buy stuff. Yeah no,
and the stuff they buy.

Speaker 4 (26:05):
That, I was like, oh, I'm sorry, I'm not I'm
not going to buy that for you.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Like both Olive and Gus just spent forty dollars on
like a bay Blade kit that comes with like, I
don't know, fifteen bay blades. What a babe?

Speaker 2 (26:22):
What? It's fun?

Speaker 1 (26:24):
It is actually pretty fun as a toy goes. It's
better than any of the toys they've been into.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
It's a modern top.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
It's especially a top, but their metal and they have
like hooks on them. And so then you do it
in like an arena and then you're like, oh and.

Speaker 4 (26:41):
Your that it comes with it.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
It's like separate arenas too.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Oh really yeah, oh wow yeah, And it's like this
big and then they bounce against each other and then
literally one gets knocked. That's so fun. It's really fun.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
Yeah, it's me. Yeah, it's modern marbles. It's great. They're
out there in the real world feeling things.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
They are they're like and then when I come to
like get them real world.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
They're not on the phone screens, are out there cranking
bay blades.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
They're on a floor, they're on a flour out.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
They're in the middle of the highway.

Speaker 4 (27:13):
Park with other kids.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
No, it can only be done in the medium between
a two highways.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
I'm just shooting them from a distance. This is what
reality is like.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
No, but I when I come and pick them up
at after school, they're all in a in a circle
and everybody's doing it like they're playing fucking marbles or something.
It's nineteen fifty five.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
E Why right.

Speaker 4 (27:34):
Why, yeah, hey, bay blades give good sponsorship money.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
Yeah, Jordinaires will challenge the three will be two three
blades Jordinarians.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
It's Extraordinarias and we need a lot of.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
Baby lads are fun my nephews. There were like two
Christmases in a row where it was like just getting
bay blades, just getting bab blades, and then now they're
a little older and they just gave them to Goodwill.
If I had known this was coming down the pipeline,
I would have hooked your kids up with the Mountain
of Babel.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
No, that's what happens with all toys. There's an obsession
for six months to one year, and then you donate
them to good one.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
There should be a story about toys and how they're
left behind, be really good. Maybe there's a triceratops or something.

Speaker 4 (28:19):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
Always maybe.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
That is.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
One thing that's nice about being in a background character
in an animated movie is that you don't have to
be there for it.

Speaker 4 (28:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
You don't have to just like stand around in the
background and shoot a long day.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Oh I hear you.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
Yeah, although I would have.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Ratzenburger in there, rags with him.

Speaker 4 (28:53):
He's a funny guy. You never get a chance to
have him on bananas.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
You did a what do that?

Speaker 4 (29:00):
Well, well, when Toy Story three came out, I did
a ton of press with.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
A press a press store. I thought you said a
pet store And I was like, you did a pet store.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
With wouldn't didn't own a pet store with?

Speaker 2 (29:14):
No, no, no.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
I was thinking maybe he sat at a pet store.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
But he was.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
He's funny because he was when he was discovered. He well,
he was building stages for woodstock, like he's oh wow,
oh done a really fascinating story.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
Oh that's awesome and a great voice.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
And two hundred and seventy one episodes of a TV show.
Eleven seasons of Cheers eleven two hundred and seventy one episodes,
and I think it was after season six they hired
a writer's room historian who they would be like, have
we done a story where Karlo does this? And this
person would be like, no, you haven't done that. You
did do one Ricarlo did this.

Speaker 4 (29:48):
Because they didn't have the Internet or something.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
You couldn't go back and watch it.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Yeah, there must be there must be a Simpsons version
of that too. It has to be. There has to
be soon. There's gonna have to be a well Bobsburgers.

Speaker 4 (30:01):
If you take a tour of the office, it's actually
in the hallway right by the writer's room, and it
tells you it's just written all up there. So every year,
every episode and a little synopsis of everything that happened.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
I've never seen that.

Speaker 4 (30:17):
Yeah, yeah, it's like by you know what, they have
a little lobby with the.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
Writer to the right, to the right, the right to
the right. You're gonna I never go over there.

Speaker 4 (30:26):
You never get to go see where the sausages made.
Oh you should have to see where the sausages made.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Yeah, I just barge give me the sausage tour you
mosius before I leave. Before I leave, I got.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
To Kristen, you have a banana Simpsons story.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
Actually I do.

Speaker 4 (30:45):
I have a great Simpsons story, you do. I was
on this Simpsons okay, and what year, Oh, I don't know,
maybe two thousand, mid eleven twelve, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
So after the open Source podcast, yeah.

Speaker 4 (31:01):
And before the open Source started, and it was really exciting,
and then I was at home watching the episode came on.
I happened to be in Colorado, so my family like
sat down and watched it, and right there in the
credits it said guest star Kristin Shall, but they spelled
it h A L L.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
That's not right. That's my name.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
And it's always it's alwayasy crazy. It drives you crazy.

Speaker 4 (31:27):
I'm used to it, but but it was a bummer
with my mom. With their last names'll see it, you know,
of course Simpsons. So anyways, actually know if someone said
something or whatever. I'm friends with Tim Long who directed
the episode and Matt Selman, and I think it got
back to them and they felt really bad. And in
a quick turnaround the next episode and the opening, Bart

(31:49):
Simpson is writing on the board for his punishment and
he wrote, it's Kristin Shall double a not Kristin Shall.
Two l'sis.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
Oh, it's so good.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
I mean it's very way bad. Yeah, that's amazing.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
That was really they did the right thing. They did
the right thing in the I'm sure Twitter lit them up.
That was the era where Twitter could like jump on
you and change things, and I bet they were like.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
We love her, you fuck this up. But also, that's
so crazy to miss I always think it's so insane
to missus spelling on a credit.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
It's a job.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
Now, it's a job. It's someone's job to just go
and be like Prochectuden. Of course David Cross's movie, I'm
Brown Brown Holer. Oh no, that's Brown Holer.

Speaker 4 (32:32):
That's really bad.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah. And then I was like, hey, guys, and I
saw an early cup before it got released, and I
was like, hey, you spell my name wrong, and they're like, yeah,
it's nothing we can do.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
What. Yeah, we can't go in there and fix that.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
Fig the fix that. Go fuck yourself. So now it
doesn't show up on any of my IMDb or anything
like that because it's Kurt Brown Holer.

Speaker 4 (32:53):
Yeah, I'm sorry that happens. Okay, but that's not as
bad as what happened to you in the Burier movie.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
Oh well, that's not bad. I was so happy to
be in the movie.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Great movie.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
But it was a long scene. It was supposed to be.

Speaker 4 (33:06):
A long, longer scene and it got cut. I haven't
seen the movie.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
It's very good.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
It's a really good I know.

Speaker 4 (33:14):
I just have to be it's just scary movies. I
tend to be shy around.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
Yeah, it's watch it during the daytime, Watch during the daytime?

Speaker 4 (33:24):
Is it daytime I'm creating? I'm not, but I wanted
I to myself. I find I'm less anxious when I
have a job in the day that someone else gave
me than when I'm supposed to be writing my own stuff. Anxiety, Guys,
I'm sorry. What therapy is coming?

Speaker 1 (33:42):
Oh come on, I'm very excited.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
You'll talk with this about you. Do you feel the.

Speaker 4 (33:46):
Same way, It's like when you I'm more anxious when
I'm not working and waiting for a like a big,
a big job to come through.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
It's a horror, universal, a universal feeling, one hundred percent.
And then when you like get paid to do something
during the day, you're like, look at I did it.
I made my keep today. Might as well watch the Barbarian.

Speaker 4 (34:06):
Oh god, we watched Yellowstone Rich and I for the Yes.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
Isn't it good?

Speaker 4 (34:11):
The pilots incredible.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
The pilot is incredible.

Speaker 4 (34:14):
The Pilot's incredible. And then you get deeper and plays
Casey is just murdering everybody. Seven year old son, and
there's a dinosaur and nobody's talking about it.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
Don't need to How many horses die in the pilot too?
At least one.

Speaker 4 (34:31):
I think two Pilot's exquisite.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
The pilot is like one of the best hours or
hour and a half's of television.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
So I used to mentor and judge at the thing
called Series Fest, which was in Denver in Kala Ratto,
and they would fly me in and then all these
kids would submit pilot scripts and then we would teach
them how to pitch. We would teach them how to
do stuff. It was great, great, and it would always happen.
It still goes on. But they had an opening night
ceremony at Red Rocks where they would have sort of
like either throwback people like I saw in Vogue and

(35:01):
common in eric Abadu actually left because Ericabadu came on
an hour and a half late and I just went
met friends at a tiki bar instead. Sense great night.
But the next year was Lady Antebellum, who I think
is like a country act, and so it's open to
the public. It's not just for the people going to
Series Fest, and so all of these families bring their

(35:22):
children to see Lady Antebellum at the five o'clock show.
But the serious Fest surprise was they showed the pilot
to Yellowstone first, and so a bunch of children watched
that pilot in Red Rocks without any warning.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
What it was crazy, That is insane.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
That's when I saw the pod. So I'm sitting there
and Red Rocks is beautiful, it's glowing red Yellowstone exactly.
And it begins and there's a horse that gets killed
right away.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
Yeah, and murder everywhere all and.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
There are children watching this and parents are screaming because
they just came to bring their kids the Lady antilopment.
They watched the most adult content and I and I
didn't know how to feel about Yellowstone because I was
sitting outside and everybody was either like mad leaving, like
taking their kids back to the parking lot until it
was over, and they were people were yelling at the

(36:13):
screen like turn it off.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
That's so what a wild that's a wild mood. It's
a wild mood.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
That was the world premiere of Yellowstone was at series
Fest at Reverend telling anybody no warning, so it would
be your kid's ages watching that show for the first time.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
Is Lady anti Bellum like a real kids draw.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
I think country music is for everybody.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
It's country music is for everybody.

Speaker 4 (36:36):
Their name based off a Southern plantation.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
Well, Antibellum was a time period, the ante Bellum South.

Speaker 4 (36:43):
Yeah, and that was when people enjoyed the South.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
They enjoyed They're from Nashville and they're country and country pop,
so yeah, I could see that being kid friendly in Colorado.
Maybe we get Hillary scott on here to She didn't
have any choice, just her Babbage just before me. But
it was crazy because they're like, but guys, welcome to
series fast. Nobody knew what that was except the hundred
of us that were there and then bam right into it.

(37:12):
That's no warning.

Speaker 4 (37:13):
I will say though, that I did watching it. Really
missed Kevin Costner. I didn't know I missed him. That guy,
I'm like ready to get into some Dances with Wolves maybe.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
Uh huh. Have you seen his new movie, the movie
that he like put I don't know, hundred first of
his own million dollars into her?

Speaker 4 (37:32):
He has that much? Does a hundred of his own
million dollars? Yeah, because he produces and and directly directs
all his movies. He didn't Dances with Wolves. He did,
But again, I'm sorry, Maybe I don't want to see
Dances with Wolf.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
It's a little white too, I think just watch Robinhood

Speaker 1 (39:38):

Speaker 2 (39:41):
Yeah? This was in BBC News. That's real, written by
the best in the biz. When you're talking mummy stink,
you want Alex Loftus on the big time. He she
they are awesome at mummy stuff. Even after five thousand
years in a sarcophagus, mummified bodies from ancient Egypt still
will smell quite nice. Okay, scientists have discovered researchers who

(40:04):
examined nine mummies. That's enough.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
That's enough. We don't need to do a lot.

Speaker 4 (40:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
I love that.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
There were Somebody's like, I gotta come and sniff your mummy.
You want to like find out if it stinks. Why, Oh,
it's science. I'm not just a mummy sniffer.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
Let's give crow. Let's give monkeys cucumbers to pay for things,
and let's smell all these damn mummies. We should have
been scientists, guys, I know.

Speaker 4 (40:29):
I mean, are you still read?

Speaker 1 (40:31):
Can I cut it?

Speaker 2 (40:32):
Please you?

Speaker 4 (40:33):
I am well, because you know the first guy, I
forget his name, who discovered King touch chum in the thirties.

Speaker 2 (40:40):
Let's make one.

Speaker 4 (40:41):
Can you find that?

Speaker 1 (40:42):
Sir Edmund Hillary, Sir Piper Morgan?

Speaker 2 (40:46):
Who is that it? No?

Speaker 4 (40:48):
King John John Gregor.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
Howard Carter British archaeologist Howard Carter.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
So you know Howard Carter's like a name that you
just have in your brain. No, he just read it
out loud, okay.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
Kill in nineteen twenty two, Howard Carter.

Speaker 4 (41:05):
Right, So he died because there's a smell from inside
the tomb. Like it's called the Mummy's curse, and it
is that they're with the formal, the hide or something
going on when you open that up. Whoever discovered it.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
First haaled it and hailed it. Oh really, and it
was actually from one of like the chemicals they used
to preserve the body. I don't know, no, okay, I
want to say, why not out?

Speaker 4 (41:33):
I can't find out cause of death and how because anyway,
so I'm I'm curious about Yeah, who sniffed and if
they're Okay.

Speaker 2 (41:41):
Maybe it was just tut Maybe they booby trapped tuck. Okay,
you know who knows. Researchers who examined these nine mummies
found that they that, though there were some differences in
the intensity of their odors, classic all could be described
as woody, spicy, and sweet. Oh okay, you got some?

Speaker 1 (41:59):
Yeah, yeah Themmy's curse is some ancient mummies carried mold,
including asparigolus nyse, you don't want that, Aspilus flavus.

Speaker 4 (42:08):
And that smells woody and sweet, which.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
Can cause congestion or bleeding in the lungs. Lung assaulting
bacteria such as Pseudomonas and staflo cocas may also grow
on tomb walls. That is the curse of the mumm.

Speaker 4 (42:22):
Okay, gotcha. So they tried to bake that into a movie,
but it was too slow.

Speaker 1 (42:29):
We're just waiting for mold.

Speaker 2 (42:32):
Yeah, his only bomb did not do well. They say
recreating the composition of the smells chemically will allow others
to experience the mummies with and help tell when the
bodies inside may be starting to rot. That's funk. We
want to share this experience that we had smelling the
mommified bodies, so we're reconstructing the smell to be presented

(42:53):
in the Egyptian Museum in Kyro.

Speaker 4 (42:55):
I gotta take a plane soon.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
You gotta go to Kyro. Sniffer ready, Yeah, get your afron.
You don't want to show up with a stuffy nose.
I've always said that, I've screamed it.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
If you're sniffing mummies, clear those noses.

Speaker 4 (43:08):
Oh my god, If I get a cold by by
way to Cairo before I can stiff those bummies, I
have got a flump out.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
That will be two Pyramids and Giza. Cecilia Beebray said
she was one of the researchers. She told BBC's Radio
four on the Today program that sounds nice. During the
mummification process, ancient Egyptian threads surround the body with pleasant
smells as an important part of preparing the spirit to
enter the afterlife. Sure, that's one way to look at that. Also,

(43:38):
maybe they stunk. M hm. You just never know. As
a result, pharaohs and members of the nobility were adorned
adorned with oils, waxes, bombs, and other scents during the
mummification process process in films and books, terrible things happen
to those who smell mummified bodies, Yes, said doctor Ben Bbray.

(43:59):
We were surprised that the pleasantness of them. See, life
can still be surprising. Guys still kept the Internet ruined
things for.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
Us for so long. We thought mummies smell bad.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
You know, I would smell terrible.

Speaker 4 (44:09):
Yeah, yeah, Ford, I.

Speaker 1 (44:11):
Would just assume, like to smell old, old and musty. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (44:15):
But what a miracle they are.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
What a miracle there?

Speaker 4 (44:19):
What a miracle there?

Speaker 1 (44:20):
Yeah, the proof of Jesus's love? Really what.

Speaker 2 (44:27):
Job shines her light on all of us. The authors
of the academic study published in the Journal of American
Chemical Society. That's fun. That's a fun read. That's the
journal you want to read.

Speaker 4 (44:36):
That song chemical is based on by post beloone.

Speaker 2 (44:40):
And Chemicals by Bush is the same thing. Everybody's obsessed in.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
My chemistal romances about being in love with a mummy. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:49):
Wow, we're breaking through the other side.

Speaker 1 (44:52):
Uh doors, there we go.

Speaker 2 (44:59):
Who who? The researchers from UCLA and the University of
Luges Bajeing in Slovenia did this by inserting tiny tubes
so they were able to measure the scent without taking
physical samples. So they didn't want to interfere with the
mummies inside what they're saying. Doctor Ben Bibray explained that
the heritage scientists are always trying to find non destructive

(45:22):
ways to discover new information. That sounds great, wonderful. I
wonder how many mummies there are? Just have nine mummies
to test? That's a lot.

Speaker 1 (45:30):
Yeah yeah yeah. Also, well I guess it's in Cairo,
so maybe they have nine mummies there.

Speaker 2 (45:35):
I bet they have a lot. Yeah, I bet they
just have them coming and going on. A ton of mummies, yeah,
a ton of mummies. Visitors who smell the sense in
the museums will be able to experience the ancient Egypt
and the mommification process from a totally different perspective. Ali
Lukes an English professor from the University of Cambridge who

(45:56):
wrote her PhD on the politics of smell.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
Again, look at you can write a PhD on fucking anything.

Speaker 4 (46:04):
I mean there is a lot of laws. Yeah of stink.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
Oh yeah, yeah, look at that.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
Well. So on a recent episode, of bananas. We were
talking about some people can see a new color. There's
a new color emerging because human eyes couldn't see blue
for a long time, and then suddenly our eyes could
process blue, and now we all know blue.

Speaker 1 (46:23):
An extra cone or something.

Speaker 2 (46:24):
And now there's a small like less than timbercent of
the population can see this color that's towards purple, but
like the three of us probably can't see it. But smells,
wouldn't you think it's the same thing. I know that's light,
but oh yes, smells that people will learn to smell
as we go.

Speaker 1 (46:40):
I think there definitely can be new smells, right, because
there's not like light is like a very limited visual spectrum,
but like smells are.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
Well also new technology. Like you mentioned, maybe it smells
like a dentist office.

Speaker 4 (46:53):
It does out this new place smells like a dentist.

Speaker 2 (46:57):
Office, and that's a real smell. As soon as you said,
I was like, yeah, it does.

Speaker 1 (47:01):
Oh really, Because when you said that, I was like,
I don't.

Speaker 4 (47:03):
Know what in the hallway, not in this room. It's
something they're using. This sleep smell and friendship smells woody,
yeah and sweet.

Speaker 3 (47:12):
Here's George went'rm norm uh you know, they should combine this,
uh this this museum exhibit of smelling the mummies with
that that Japanese animal but smelling museum, and they could
have the worst museum ever invented if they combined the two.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
That's true.

Speaker 4 (47:32):
Have you guys studied the or talked about the terra
cotta soldiers in China?

Speaker 2 (47:36):
We didn't have not.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
Do you want to say something about them? They're amazing.

Speaker 4 (47:42):
I've seen pictures online.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
Some of them were at some point they bring you know,
they'll bring a couple of the Bozo wheel, those guys.

Speaker 1 (47:51):
Not so many.

Speaker 4 (47:52):
Yeah, I just you know, they're modeled after the soldiers,
so they have similar features, like all different And I
was just imagining in that time because it was like
a brutal time to be living under. I forget who
was it leing like what dynasty was it?

Speaker 1 (48:09):
I don't wait, and so just you for you saying
dynasty is the first I know about that part? You know,
well learning about that now.

Speaker 4 (48:18):
Yeah, So it was like one dude was like, I
need this built, and I think I just imagined, because
it went on for so long, that the best job
to have back then would be this terracotta soldier artist.

Speaker 1 (48:29):
Yeah, yes, because you're busy all the time, all.

Speaker 4 (48:32):
The time, but you were not war You're just carving,
like just like having like a good light.

Speaker 1 (48:38):
Yeah, it would be beautiful.

Speaker 4 (48:40):
Yeah, and like you're getting food, you got shelter, and
you're just carving soldiers and you've got no worries.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
It was the Whang Hwang like keith Wang. Remember that.
It was a nice got shout out keith Wang. He
was the first emperor of China.

Speaker 1 (48:55):
It was the first whoa before Christ BC, all the
terra cotta warriors were made.

Speaker 2 (49:01):
Yeah, the figures were dated from the two hundred BC
and they were discovered in nineteen seventy four. That's a
long Where.

Speaker 1 (49:08):
Were they hiding underground?

Speaker 4 (49:09):
They were underground kind of like the parents. They were
like buried.

Speaker 1 (49:12):
And was there a purpose? Was there a purpose for
them to like present?

Speaker 2 (49:16):
The purpose was protecting him in the afterlife. Dang out.
That's so cool to be like, there's an.

Speaker 1 (49:21):
Afterlife, there's an afterlife, and I know an army.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
I want Reggie to be a part of it. Yeah
all right, let me yeah, let me see the sin
the thumbs.

Speaker 1 (49:32):
Ups here it is this is just this is specifically
for Kristen. Steve Harvey gifted a TV every year to
the teacher who said he'd never be on TV.

Speaker 4 (49:40):
Damn pet Well, it does get a little like you
only need so many TVs. Like then you would get
a little like you. So now she has it in
every room in her house. Now she's giving him to
her nephew's. Now it's like, okay, Steve, like for a

(50:04):
long time, Yeah, these are the same TVs.

Speaker 2 (50:08):
He is good at the family feud though. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:11):
I haven't been on it. Oh yeah, yeah, I thought
it was Yeah, what was your personal?

Speaker 2 (50:17):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (50:18):
It was fine.

Speaker 1 (50:19):
My personal was a personal opinion of Steve Harvey.

Speaker 4 (50:22):
Oh I'm here to state my personal. No, it was
he was fine. He was he was fun.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
Was part of a show. Sometimes they do that. Well,
they'll put it.

Speaker 4 (50:31):
It was just celebrity. That was very random.

Speaker 2 (50:34):
Who was on my who was there? Who spoke? Who
was like the team cabine at the end, all the
way to the right.

Speaker 4 (50:39):
I can't remember that good again, remember I need to
look at a picture. It was I think it was
June Diane, Raphael, Nicole Bayer, Carla Gallo, Okay me and
then there's got to be maybe two more right, maybe
Casey Wilson.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
I'm guessing so it was funny women, yeah, maybe versus
funny man, Like we're you against Paul Sheer and the crew.

Speaker 4 (51:03):
I'm sure Paul Sheer was there.

Speaker 1 (51:05):
The crew.

Speaker 4 (51:06):
I know there's such a crew.

Speaker 2 (51:10):
I ain't in it. No you're not.

Speaker 4 (51:13):
I'm not either, but I'm working. I'm working my way in.
Did you find it now?

Speaker 1 (51:18):
I mean I just see the man. You just see
the men, only the men.

Speaker 4 (51:22):
And then when I go to read the mid oh,
Adam Pally.

Speaker 1 (51:25):
All Sheer, John Gamberlang, Adam Pally, Eugene Carderio and Horatio Sounds.

Speaker 4 (51:30):

Yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:23):
J is very organized. Yeah, she had good ideas.

Speaker 2 (52:27):
Busy thumbs up. Denise is thumbing herself up for graduating
with the Masters and data science and also completing a
dry sixty nine.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
Oh, congratulation, thumbs up.

Speaker 4 (52:37):
Dry sixty nine is what the kids are calling it.

Speaker 2 (52:40):

Like two hundred and sixty people have done it. It's
crazy people.

Speaker 4 (52:53):
That's a lot.

Speaker 2 (52:54):
And two people did a hard seventy five, which we
have nothing to do with, which is not smoking weed
for seventy five days, and.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
Somebody throwed us in and was like, you guys are
always talking about the hard seventy five, and we're like,
we've never said that in our lives.

Speaker 2 (53:07):
Kelsey Burgess wants to thumb up her dear friend Abigail
for taking a huge step and moving to Nashville with
her boyfriend, which is giving him a bigger opportunity in
the music biz. And we met these guys at a
Raleigh show and we did good Night Charlie's, so it's
called so you and I went got sushi after the show,
before your second show, and there was a nice group
before youths, young people outside and they wanted to buy

(53:29):
us shots and said we bought their sushi dinner. Yes,
this is this crew. Oh yeah, they're so nice. We're
also not in this crew. Kelsey is going to miss
working with Abby so much. She says their silliness and
positivity and big, beautiful smile brings as much joy as
she hopes it brings that as much joy to the
next office as it did to theirs. And yeah, good

(53:50):
luck out there. Thumbs up, Kelsey, You're gonna do great.
Oh just no, sorry, thumbs up Abigail on your new

Speaker 2 (54:02):
Chris wants the thumb up. His wife, Jemma Pounce, Gemma.

Speaker 1 (54:05):
Completeunce great name.

Speaker 2 (54:08):
Pounds is a great last name. Gemma Pounce is a
great name. Seems like a Marvel character. Gemma completed her
advocacy qualification. She achieved this while working with an emotionally
taxing job that involves advocating for vulnerable people and the caress. Yeah, banana,
the banana, Gemma, pounds. That's good. That's that's good. Three.

Speaker 1 (54:32):

Speaker 2 (54:32):
Isn't that?

Speaker 1 (54:33):
You never hear pounds except for cats. Right, pounds is
the only cat word. Right, I'm going to pounce on that. Yeah,
what's a care system?

Speaker 2 (54:42):
I think it. I don't know the system of care,
but I would guess maybe maybe nursing homes, maybe people
that need help, younger people that need assistance. So I
think it's probably the health and medical cases.

Speaker 4 (54:55):
I'm gonna need a little more specifics before I can
give my thumbs up.

Speaker 2 (55:01):
Jim, we will be sending Kristin Schall's home addressed to

Speaker 1 (55:13):
Yeah, thumbs up.

Speaker 2 (55:14):
Uh, this was on Oprah, Cutie, this is on Mike
Myers sang.

Speaker 1 (55:20):
O w n Uh. Steve Harvey give it a TV
every year to teacher who said he'd never be on television.
Written by nobody. I guess Oprah wrote this. When Steve
Harvey was in sixth grade, his teacher gave the class
an assignment write down what you want to be when
you grow up. Steve, who had a severe stutter at

(55:42):
the time, wrote that he wanted to be on TV.
Steve's teacher, however, thought his dream was ridiculous. She quickly
ridiculed Steve in front of the class and called his
parents to report that he was being a smart alec
at school. Steve was confused by his teacher's reaction, but
his father'scouragement helped him stand the path towards goals. Many

(56:02):
years later, after Steve found success in the entertainment industry,
he still thought about the sixth grade teacher.

Speaker 2 (56:08):
Never forget quote.

Speaker 1 (56:09):
Every year. When that teacher was living, I used to
send her a TV for Christmas, Steve says, because I
wanted her to see me.

Speaker 2 (56:15):
She drowned under TVs. Yeah, she suffocated. One came through
the mail slot and it was just it just right there,
poor thing. But I wanted to do this in Panasana.

Speaker 1 (56:26):
I wanted to do this with you, Chris. Thank because
you have a similar You had a similar teacher. Oh
this was sent him by bb Thank you, BBB. Busy buddy,
you had a similar person say something similar to you.

Speaker 4 (56:39):
Oh yeah, I mean multiple. But the one that stands
out was a teacher in college. So crazy that it's
a teacher man a professor. Yeah. She was the professor
of like speech at Northwest Northwestern and she I went
in to sign up because everyone had to sign up
for her class, and I just said my name and

(56:59):
she's like, oh, you're atrocious lisp. You're never gonna make it.
And it was really tough to hear.

Speaker 1 (57:05):
Wait right off the bat, right from you're.

Speaker 4 (57:08):
Just my name in the office like I didn't, and
then she put me with her like what they call
the teachers that are assistant teacher or whatever. I didn't
even get.

Speaker 1 (57:20):
You're you're a voice act very far.

Speaker 2 (57:24):
I would say, she's the voice of our generation. I
can't think of an American voice. She's our songbird.

Speaker 4 (57:29):
Thanks guys, I think it's interesting for acting though, because
I try to think.

Speaker 1 (57:35):
Back on that.

Speaker 4 (57:35):
What she was trying to teach students is like, can
you be in Shakespeare in the park? Like you know
what I mean? It's like everything the things I learned
in college were very much like old school. Can you
be in this drama and do this monologue and audition
for this play theater? And because remember there used to

(57:59):
be a voice, an old timey voice. I forget what
it was called the.

Speaker 1 (58:03):
Atlantic Yeah, the mid Atlantic vernacular.

Speaker 4 (58:06):
Ye that they created to go from the play to television.
It wasn't real either.

Speaker 2 (58:11):
And that's like being taught like like the Catherine Hepburn
type of life.

Speaker 4 (58:16):
All right, this is where we're going, and it's kind
of British but not really.

Speaker 1 (58:20):
Yeah, you know, so I don't.

Speaker 4 (58:22):
It's just weird to think that that's that there would
be more opportunities for people in theater and stuff, but.

Speaker 2 (58:28):
In the arts that she should She wasn't an arts
because in the arts you hear that voice and you go, oh,
we can figure like we can figure this out. You
want things that stand, Yeah, you want things.

Speaker 1 (58:38):
That's what is so surprising, But it is, you know,
it is surprising that there's not more jobs in theater.
There's a theater in every house. You know, we all
have theaters in our home.

Speaker 2 (58:47):
What do you mean, I don't understand what you're saying.
I don't understand. You're sorry.

Speaker 1 (58:50):
I'm thinking about TV.

Speaker 2 (58:53):
Have a job like the Kitchen Island every night and
they do Oliver twists. That's so cool with the paintball gun.

Speaker 1 (59:03):
I mean he's obsessed with people with children.

Speaker 4 (59:09):
Well, but for that teacher, it's okay, Like it hurts.
And I've had more. I've had even worst. People told
me no, like like managers like I couldn't audition for
the office. Everybody said I couldn't even like get the office.
I know later I met like Alison je Jennings or

(59:30):
who does casting your friend to Alison Jones sorry Alson Jones,
and she was like, I was like, yeah, I couldn't
even audition for the office. And she's like, what we
were like turning over rocks looking for people. But as
a manager, you told me I wasn't pretty enough. Had
me do my audition again that I had to do

(59:50):
on tape. You had to go somewhere to do it,
like I had to rent a place, and I was like,
she's like, sorry, but you need heels, you need makeup,
like you can't audition like this. So I did it
again and then she said I'm sorry, you're just not funny,
and I was and I was still because I didn't
have anybody.

Speaker 1 (01:00:06):
Represent I was so who said these things? The man?

Speaker 4 (01:00:09):
It was a manager that represented my friend Dan, who
said she could maybe take me on.

Speaker 2 (01:00:14):
I was like, this, great, this is the money she
lost you food.

Speaker 4 (01:00:19):
And then I was like she's like, I'm sorry, it's
just that you're not funny. And I was like, well,
I'll take a class. And she's like you can't teach this, honey.
And she's like I'm going to leave your headshots and
your VHS audition tape with my doorman.

Speaker 1 (01:00:31):
Oh my, and I what's her name?

Speaker 4 (01:00:35):
Remember? But I pulled my alse of like the heat
broken my apartment and so I had to pull my
mattress like into the living room of the railway apartment
and I in the and like my roommates, flore I
was just like laid there like sobbing, and I was
like I don't know why I'm trying to do this.

(01:00:55):
And then I went to work at the blue fin one.

Speaker 2 (01:01:00):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (01:01:00):
But so that teacher though, and it's not this manager necessarily,
but like that teacher with Steve Harvey, I would say,
sometimes you need that friction to push against to propel
you forward, like especially if you have a dream that
will not die. There is something And I think that
tennis player said it to the young one that's winning
a lot. Oh a woman, Yeah, Ryann Sabrina, she's got.

Speaker 2 (01:01:25):
It at a cocoa go.

Speaker 4 (01:01:28):
Yeah, she's just like she says the same thing. She's
like for all the haters. It just makes my fire stronger. Yeah,
And I think that's a good tool. Again if you
have a dream, only if your dream can't be killed,
then it really does put more fuels motivation.

Speaker 2 (01:01:44):
I agree more. If I ever wrote a writing memoir,
it would be called right Angry, because everything I've ever
sold came after somebody like knock something I wrote down
so hard that I was like, oh, I'm going to
write something and just mess with you basically, and it ways.
I use that chip on my shoulder to sit down
and type every day, Wow that I'm out.

Speaker 1 (01:02:05):
Every time someone kind of like just hints it maybe
something I did isn't good. I just go you're right,
You're right.

Speaker 2 (01:02:09):
It's bad.

Speaker 4 (01:02:10):
It's bad. I don't do that.

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
I'll stop doing that. I'll stop doing that. This is
the difference, folks. I don't believe other people's opinion. I
believe too many people's opinions in my life.

Speaker 2 (01:02:22):
Should I send us out with one? Yes, Kristen, thank
you for being our first audio guest, now first video guest. Oh,
you're welcome, the Queen of the avs. And if we
have any cool records, we will make sure, you know,
like if we if we do a story that's like incredible,
we'll make sure sending thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (01:02:39):
I mean I did give her one already. She told
me that that guy sucked. So which one the match?

Speaker 2 (01:02:45):
Better?

Speaker 1 (01:02:45):
The match guy?

Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:02:46):
No, he can't. No, I didn't say he sucked, but
I said Againnis was.

Speaker 1 (01:02:50):
In the right. We did a coming down on the
man's side.

Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
We threw the most tampons in there at one time
ever last year, and that record are you an We're trying.

Speaker 1 (01:03:00):
We're trying.

Speaker 4 (01:03:01):
I will have you on the show.

Speaker 1 (01:03:02):
Guinness is weird, Well, Guinness is weird.

Speaker 2 (01:03:04):
We have notaries, we had lawyers, we have witnesses.

Speaker 1 (01:03:06):
Ginnis is just a money making organ.

Speaker 4 (01:03:08):
Did you have guinnis there?

Speaker 2 (01:03:09):
No, they wouldn't come.

Speaker 1 (01:03:10):
Now, they wouldn't come, but you documented they won't even
respond to emails. Guinness is incredibly difficult to do with,
is that right?

Speaker 2 (01:03:17):
Yeah? True?

Speaker 1 (01:03:18):
If anybody works at Guinness, If anybody works at Guinness,
can you please And I'm not talking about the beer company,
but if you do work at Guinness, we would also
like huge.

Speaker 2 (01:03:27):
We're big.

Speaker 4 (01:03:27):
