In Finland, mobile phone throwings a national.
Speaker 1 (00:08):

Speaker 1 (00:56):
The you don't think I was gonna do? No? The
pause before it really got me. Yeah. I was like, well,
I get sued for copyright for stealing lyrics a song,
but I didn't sing it in melody or harmony, so
we're safe. You're allowed to say ring, ring, ring banana phone.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Also, I don't I think it might be in public
domain at this point.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
That song is so old. Yeah, shout out to RAFFI.
I think was it Raffi? I was gonna say Raffi,
but I don't know. Yeah, Oh man, how are you? Buddy?
You and I tied one on last night.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
We sure did feeling good though I'm feeling good, had
a you know, I just got you know, I had
just had.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
A good work meeting. Do you know what I mean?
In some town.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Oh, they're few and far between. A project that I've
been working on for eight fucking years.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Congratulations.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Just had a lot of forward momentum put into it
and it feels very good and exciting.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Congratulations, It's wonderful and like you got to celebrate the
little things, Scottie. You ever and no matter what you
do these days, every victory, even a minus skill victory,
a step in the right direction, feels just like you're
sprinting through the finish line of your arms in the air.
It really really does. This is a big Prefontaine day
(02:15):
for you. You know. I had something similar too. I
so on Wednesday night Blumhouse, the horror Studio. They they're
trying to create a thing or I guess they just
created it called Halfway to Halloween. Halfway to Halloween. Good
idea where the pollics did Half Christmas first, and that
people still celebrate half Christmas. So June twenty fourth, yeah,
(02:38):
something like that. But anyways, Halfway to Halloween they did Annabelle,
Megan and Ma that's so cool.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Out of their entire they have such a big library, dude.
They have such a big library. And to be grouped
with the for just three three choices, they got three
choices and MA is one of them.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
That's so cool, dude. It was great, and it was
in a ton of theaters and they were all very
They weren't like one hundred percent sold out, like I
was clicking around on the different AMCs and regals just
to see, but full sized theaters. So Strawberry and I
went to AMC and Burbank full theater, packed all my heads.
So I've only seen MA twice now. I saw it
(03:21):
when you were there the premiere in two thousand May
twenty nineteen, and that was mostly industry folks, some friends
and family, but that's mostly like agents, lawyers, executives, people
that work on it. So you never know, Like it
went really well at the premiere, but you just never
know what's real and what's not. But then to go
see it at nine o'clock with all fans of the movie,
(03:43):
and the fans of MA are women, natural outsiders and
gay men. That is, it was either solo people like
Gothy sort of. I embraced the darkness folks. Yeah, groups
of women or groups of gay men.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
That is that is like the best fan base.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
It was incredible the so the second time I've seen it,
and when you know, Blumhouse puts their title cart up,
Universal has their don And as soon as the movie started,
people broke out into cheering, shouting ah. And as soon
as Sue Anne Octavia Spencer's character Monck came on screen,
(04:24):
people hooted and hollered and cheered and erupted, and then
they quoted the movie and it was it was so moving.
I actually got choked up that I had to like
fight back tears at the beginning of it, because, like
you said, in this town, every little step feels impossible.
It was so special, and it was like nobody knew
(04:45):
I was there, you know, nobody knew the guy that
wrote it was there. But it was it was good.
It was a beautiful moment and I really truly had
to fight back tears a couple of times. That is.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I mean, like you never like in this in you
you almost never get that, you almost never get that
kind of experience satisfaction. And also as a writer, you
know that like that is all you do is spend
hundreds of hours quietly by yourself that's exactly I've been
(05:17):
and in your head and imagining things, and then to
sell to share it with that many people, that is
like life.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Thousands of people watched it on Wednesday night. I'm looking
up let's see if it made the cut Wednesday. You're
checking Box office Mojo. Yeah, I wonder if it did,
because I'm sure it made a million. But it was
very special to be surrounded by strangers who were of sessed,
(05:45):
dressed like Sue Anne, wearing T shirts with her image
on it, like saying don't make me drink. I mean
when she says don't make me drink alone, two hundred
people were chanting don't make me. It felt incredible, incredible.
It was one of one of the best parts of
the year so far.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
From me, Oh, I'm so happy for you, dude. That
makes me so That makes me so happy. And also
to the fact that it has such a following. I mean,
it just it just it just goes to show you
deserve all the success in the world, my friend.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Thank you. I accept the compliment. In twenty twenty five, Yes,
looking for congrats. Man.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
That compliments folks, except compliments. It's hard to do, is
it is hard to do, but you could use Scotty's
phrase that is not awkward at all. I accept the compliment.
In twenty twenty five, we're.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Also guarded and shattered and armed up these days, but
we're comment back. We're fighting back. Also, one thing I
want to announce at the top. I won't say her
full name just in case there's crazy people, but we
have a bananimal named Steph who you and I met.
She came in to Bananas Fest in Denver. Yes, she
is now in Malta. She moved to the end Pendent Nation.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Of Malta with all the falcons with her.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
All the Maltese falcons are there, and she told you
she might be our first, she might be our only
Maltese bananimal. I think she wanted me to say this
on the podcast.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Just she has she has fluffy hair that covers her
whole body and over her face as well.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Again a Maltese dog joke. Okay, she's really fun, she's
a she's a cool bananable. She she might go that way,
but she said she wanted me to say. If you
live in Malta and you listen to Bananas and you're
hearing this right now, dm us because She's like, I
would love to meet Maltese bananimals on this small island
nation in the middle of the miniature. Excuse me, yeah, Mediterranean.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
The Malta is in the middle of the Mediterranean. I'm
going to look up Malta right now.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
A lot about Malta because I've always wanted to visit.
It is a European country. It's had like ten different
countries rule it. It's near North Africa, it's near Sicily.
It's it's an educational podcast. Oh yeah, yeah, it's in between.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Okay, so it's in between Sicily, and it's closer to
Sicily than North to Tripoli to North Africa. Yeah, it's
much closer to Sicily. But look at that, and it's like, look,
what's the one picture that Google Maps has chosen.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I don't know, looks like it looks very historic. It
looks very historic, it looks very Shout out to any
Maltese ban animals, and of Steph, if you're the only one,
I'm gonna send you a postcard because I've never mailed
anything to Malta.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Oh I wonder how long it takes.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
I still feel bad.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I have a banana's poster, you know, because I've been
cleaning and whatnot, and I found we I try.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
I mailed a bananas.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Poster to Australia because someone had like I guess, like
responded first or something, and they were in Australia and
whatever I paid, whatever the fifteen dollars was to like
ship it to Australia, like four months later, it got
returned because the address maybe I wrote it down wrong
or something.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
I have a dry sixty nine envelope right here, Nads,
you live in Long Beach. It got booted back to me,
So Nads email me or how do you spell Nads?
Is it g yes? I think it's a nickname. But
it got sent back. It got returned to centered. But
I have a dry sixty nine sticker for you, all.
Speaker 2 (09:18):

named Nads lives here, sent it back.

books that I wrote when I was seventeen, eighteen, nineteen
years old, and I'm going to read them. They're all ages,
so they're only about five minutes long, and they're absolutely
A three year old could listen to it, or a

you very much.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
This was in Tech Times. Love It written by James Getty's.
They got Getty's, They got them. It is geddes, It
might be just Gids James Gids. Mobile phone throwing is
actually a national sport in Finland. Competitors meet annually to
(13:20):
see who can throw their handset the farthest. Everyone is
fantasized about throwing his or her mobile phone at one
point or another, whatever it was after a fight with
your significant other, being put on hold forever by your
mobile provider, receiving an angry text. Why do we have
to have that many James? Why do we have to
that many media? Ratchet reality TV stars aside, most of
(13:43):
us are able to hold it ratchet.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Look at this, I mean stick in there still isn't ratchet. No,
this is from twenty fifteen. Okay, it was pretty ratchet.
Everything was on fleet back then. Yeah, most of us
are able. Oh my god. I saw a store recently.
Where was it? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
It was in New Jersey. It was in New Jersey,
was in Long Branch, New Jersey. It was called on
Fleek And I was like, what a twenty fifteen store?
Does anybody even know what on fleek means anymore?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
There's a place in Silver Lake right now called Crispy Eyebrows. Boy,
that sounds real dumb, now, man.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
There was a place in Los Felis, and I'm so
sad at clothes called cougart, Oh.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Cougar, but it wasn't yogurt. It was like Mediterranean food.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Food, also delicious Mediterranean food. I ate there all the time.
Affordable cougart was wonderful, but yeah, definitely sounds like cum
yogurt and nobody ate there. I was by myself every
time I was in cougart.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Ratchet reality TV stars aside, most of us are able
to hold it together and refrain from the overwhelming urge.
We occasionally get to just wing our phone into the
atmosphere or even at the object of our ire.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
However, what if we could.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Just once this is has been such a long opening
for this here it is the folks over in Finland
have not only created an environmentally specific and not only
created an environment specifically for themselves to play out that fantasy,
they've actually made it into a national sport. Since two thousand, Wow,
that's an early adopter. Agreed, natives of Finland have been
(15:20):
flocking to the town of Savonlinna to participate in the
mobile phone throwing Championships. The contestants throw phones that have
been donated and provided, and are not allowed to bring
their own devices. They are, however, encouraged to choose the
phone that fits best to his or her hand or
looks the nicest, according to the official website of the sport.
It further explains there are clearly two parties in this one.
(15:44):
Some believe that the heavier phones fly further than the
lighter ones, and others think.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Just the opposite.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
There is an official jury panel that determines the acceptability
of each throw and approves the results with absolutely no
appeals allowed. The longest throws, three hundred and twenty point
six three feet.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Is tops thus far, that's far. What is a football field?
That's a football field is one hundred yards, so three
hundred feet.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
So it's more than a football field.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
So maybe it gets like a frisbee effect. It gets
a disc golf effect if you wing it correctly. It
maybe maybe it's sales I don't.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Know are recorded, though the rules are presented seriously. The
entire concept is somewhat toungue in cheek, you know say.
Humor connects people globally and is also part of this sport.
On the website pronounces in true finish hilariousness, have you
I've been I drink I only drink oat milk, and
(16:46):
I only drink oatly oat milk.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I mean I drink other things. But my milk. Is
oat milk good for you? I don't think it is.
I don't think it is.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
You don't think oat milk is good for you? You
know what we told? No, No, we told are our endochronology,
like Gus has an endo chronologist because we're still trying
to figure out some gross stuff. And uh and Lauren said,
she said he drinks oat milk because he's got a
lactose intolerance. And she was like, that's great, it's good
to hear that he's drinking oat milk. She was like
(17:16):
happy about the oatmeal.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
I do know that people are always like there's binders
and strengtheners or whatever that no good drink.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
And I'm just yeah, anyway, who knows? Who knows is
anybody living more than a hundred? No.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
The whole reason I was saying that is that the
oatly oat milk. They're from Sweden or Switzerland, one of
those Scandinavian countries, and they have like one side of
the of the boxes just like they're supposed to be funny,
and it is the worst sense of humor and the
dumbest stuff printed on the side of this thing, like
one of them is like, do you need a different
(17:54):
mouth to drink oat milk?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
And I can just.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Imagine someone saying it in like a Swiss accent and
be like, do you need a different mouth to drink
oat milk? It's so funny for me to say that.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
That is so funny. Yeah, where is Oatly from? I
don't know Sweden. I think they're kicking some butt. Well
I've heard they're kicking butt. We have a lot of
Swedish bananimals, So Swedish ban animals. You guys love that
oat milk or what you love oatly obsessed with?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Also no offense with my accent. That was definitely German.
Well in Switzerland, so it's yeah, from where's Oatly from?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
You're looking it up? I couldn't figure it out. I was.
I couldn't figure it out. The website it was just
a lot of people with thick bangs. I was like, No,
I got to pay attention to the podcast. I was
getting lost. Sweden, Malmo, Sweden. I would like I would
love to go to Sweden too. That seems like a
great place to visit. I want to do the midsummer
(18:56):
thing where you sit out in boats and the sun's
out at midnight. Here course I do. I would love that.
That sounds delightful, you know, Sarah Painter had never been
able to sent us in a long time ago. Another
phone story and twenty a man in Wales found his
old Nokia phone. He was like cleaning up in his
garden or something, or he was in his own Oh,
(19:16):
I love this story. Twenty two year old Nokia phone,
the break, the little blue ones that we all had. Also,
I loved that phone. You couldn't couldn't really text, you
had a T nine. It was Yeah, it was really great.
And he turned it on a Nokia thirty three ten
and it still had one bar of battery left after
twenty two years.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
I mean, that's that's insane. I don't even understand that.
And that was when the battery just popped out. Right,
those are for the old Nokia phones. The battery just
popped out.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
I think. So, I mean, I think the blue ones
you just had a little plug at the bottom. But yeah,
I miss those, I think, as you know, as soon
as I don't have to look at contracts and read
scripts and stuff on my phone, I would go back
to a dumb phone so quickly if I could just
text and call. I'd be so happy.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
So there's something I think Joanah Ray just got it,
something called like simple or something, but it have you
heard about this? So it's so it's an actual physical
keyboard and then the screen is all just black and
white and there's no social media on it. But you
do have the Internet and you have email, and you
(20:26):
have text and that's it. Oh and you have navigation.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
I think.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
So it's like the things that are like functional and usable.
But you don't have Instagram, you don't have Twitter, you
don't have x, you don't have Reddit.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
That shit time suck. Time suck for real. Bra you're
a parent, do you think a phone? Do you think
kids should be banned from social media until they're like
sixteen or eighteen or something. Hundred percent?
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Yeah, one hundred percent, no questions asked. I I just
watch because my kids are don't have access. They are
allowed I don't know, like a very limited amount of
time on an iPad.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
It's not even an iPad.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
It's like a fucking Amazon kindle that was like fifty bucks.
But and they when they get it, they are like
drug addicts and then they just do it. And then
the moment you take it away. It is a meltdown
every single time. And it's just like watching that fucking
dopamine hit.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Like boom boom boom boom boom.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
And then after that they're usually pieces of shit for
like a couple hours after and that is what's fascinating.
It's like all of a sudden, you're like thinking, like,
what's going on with these kids, and then you realize, oh,
yesterday they played like on their iPad for like three
for like two hours or something like that, and then
(21:49):
you see it the very next day. You see that
like normal life where things aren't like constantly rewarding them
is just dull and they hate it and it's just
like it's terrifying.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
It's absolutely terrifying to me.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
And it's terrifying how much I want to go to
my thing, you know, your phone, my little electronic pacifier.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I mean, Karen always had that song on her album,
like look at your phone, and it's just like, no
matter what you do, look at your phone, like feeling
awkward for a second, look at your phone standing in
a crowd, look at your phone, enter her new rooms,
look at your phone, and it's like it is comfort.
It really is. I was talking to a comedian mom
a couple of days ago about this exact thing, and
she's like, absolutely no social media for kids under sixteen.
(22:36):
And she's like, and you could do it overnight, and
a year from the moment it happens, we will all
look back and be like, why was that ever? Okay?
And the example she gave was so funny. She had
just moved to LA she was twenty one. She got
a job working for Sun Dance. So she goes to
Park City for a couple of weeks and in those
two weeks they banned smoking in bars and restaurants in
(22:57):
Los Angeles. So when she left LA, she was in
a bar the night before and people were smoking cigarettes
and hanging out, and then when she got back none.
And in LA I think at first you had to
be like two hundred feet from the front of a
bar restaurant, like it was tony and crazed. But she's like,
it changed overnight, and when I came back it was
and she's like, we could do that with this, and
(23:17):
it's an interesting She's right, you can go instantly this
is no, and then it goes away, and I think
it would be interesting. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Well, the thing is is that like you can't actually
do it because it requires it requires age verification for
a child that doesn't have an idea, you know what
I mean, I do, so all of a sudden you
get into like biometric markers and stuff like that to
figure out who's sixteen, and then it just becomes creepy
and so.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
That, yeah, it would become creepy.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
But I remember that. I remember when they banned smoking
in New York. I remember the night before the band
we're in a bar smoking and being like, the fucking
lunatics if they think that New Yorkers are gonna stop
smoking in bars. And then the very next night we
went out and didn't couldn't smoke in the bar and
(24:11):
then went home and didn't smell like an ash tray,
and we're like, oh, this is amazing.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
It was in two thousand and three. Yeah, it was
so cool. I wasn't there yet. I was still in college,
but at that bar.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
And then also the act of going outside to have
a cigarette became its own sule, Yeah, because it was
a break from having to be in wherever you were, Like,
take a break, walk outside with one person, you want
to have a talk with And I still do that sometimes,
even though I don't smoke all the time. I'll just
(24:47):
be like, smoke break and go outside and just give
myself five minutes outside of a party or a bar.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
And I love. Here you go, Kurt, I just looked
up it's an educational podcast. Yes and things all the time.
What country do you think has the highest smoking rate
per capita? Okay? Oh, I love this question. All right,
we'll start with states. First states, What states smokes the
(25:13):
most per capita? Games?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Okay, state that smokes the most per capita.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
It makes a lot of sense, but it does. Guessed
it top both great guesses. Maybe it's because I'm an
East coaster. Uh. West Virginia. Yeah, they're already sucking in
that cole sat might as well just top it off
with some nicotine and tar. Yeah. That makes With a
small population only one point seventy nine million people, West
(25:42):
Virginia has the highest smoking rate in the United States
as of two with nearly a quarter of the people smoking.
That's really high for America, really high.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
I think California is probably like eight percent or seven
percent or something.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Yes, and then country I didn't even known. I want
to guess countries too. If you guess one of the
top three, I'll give you the win, because I've never
heard of this country, and I am.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
The top three that you haven't. You haven't heard of
the top I've.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Heard of two of the top three. You've heard two
of the top three.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yeah, okay, So my my gut wants me to go
Eastern Europe, right, good?
Speaker 1 (26:20):
But is it? Okay? Am I honing in? All right?
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Because I was going to go either Eastern Europe, But
then I think there's also a lot of Asian countries
that have, like, for real, a lot of smoking inside.
So I'm gonna go Slovenia.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Great, guess not one of the top three. Okay, great gas, Okay,
give me the ti to one of them.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I've been Oh oh, then I know exactly what you're
talking about.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Bulgaria. Bulgario's number three. Bulgaria's number three.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
That's fantastic, all right. I was smoking inside.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
I was smoking. Thirty eight percent of adults over the
age of sixteen smokes cigarettes.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I remember I sat down in a Bulgarian casino. Yes,
I was there shooting for a week, and I uh
and the as I understand it and apologized apologies to
all the Bulgarians out there, but as I understand that
the country is like essentially run by a version of
the mafia, the Bulgarian mafia business, and these guys, I
(27:22):
wanted to play poker because I've been playing poker online
with friends and only online, and I wanted to play
it in real person. So I waited for a slot
at a table and the guy sat me down. I
was seated with only men who were dressed in tracksuits,
like just the classic Eastern European mafia kind of where
(27:43):
and and was doing it and I would just keep
missing the blind all the time because it was in Bulgarian.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I've told this story, haven't I I think so, but
maybe but maybe not. I'll speed it up. I'll speed
it up.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
And so I was like, you know, just just do
them a thing, doing my thing. But this one guy
kept calling me George, and I kept saying my name
is Kurt, and he just kept calling me George, and
then he would be like George, you know, annie up,
you know, and I would just keep missing it and
keep missing it because it was again in Bulgarian. And
then and then one of them was like, you never
played have you ever played poker before? And I was like,
(28:18):
oh boy, this is not going well. And I was
like only online and he's like, yeah, it shows. And
I was like, this guy's a piece of shit.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
And then we keep playing.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
He goes, I have a good hand, he goes, he
goes all in against me, and I was like okay, okay,
and I mean like he thought he was he thought
I was bluffing, and I went all in against him.
I took all of his money, which was eight hundred dollars,
and then I just sat and which in Bulgaria is
an enormous is enormous amount of money, and he was
(28:51):
very mad. And then I just sat there and I
was like, okay, I.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Want to run.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
I want to run really far away, and instead I
like stayed. I was like, I understand enough. I understand
enough that I have to give him an opportunity to
win his money back. Yes, uh, And he had it
in for me.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
We played again.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
I played for maybe an hour more, and he did
it again and I took him again good.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
And then I.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Threw that guy good and I and I sauntered out
of the casino and then ran to a Limescooter was like.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Babe, he saved your own life. That's just being aware.
Good for you, well good, And that guy's probably still
killing every Georgian Bulgaria until he finds you. He's got
a list of all the Georgis. So okay, So Bulgaria
is number three. Two. Is an Asian country. Okay, okay, okay, okay.
He used to be known as another name famously and
(29:52):
now it is not oh oh oh Sri Lanka. That's
a great guess.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Uh No, no was Ala is renamed right or no?
Am I thinking Istanbul Constantinople.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Sure these are all places? Mean Mars number two to
be Burma right right, right? Okay? And the number one
highest smoking per capita rate in the world is the
third smallest country in the world, curt oh, And I
don't I'm going to say it, and I don't know
if that's how you say it, but I think it's
(30:26):
called now ru oh Nau? Are you? It is wo
north of Australia. It's in Oceania, and it's fifty two
point six percent of women the four people who live there.
That's right, naarrus the highest smoking rate in the world
at fifty two point one percent. I'm a look over population.
(30:47):
Let's look at the population of Nauru. I would love that.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
And this is really a weird educational podcast.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
I know people are going to show up to work
today and just they're going to have facts to spit
all their co workers are gonna be like, damn, Debbie
got smart.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
The population of the country of Nauru is seventy five
now because now.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Five thousand people there smoke. That's but that's where the
city is. Two Volu. Cool, wait, No, two Valu's another country,
another country. We're learning a lot. Look at this, We're
learning a lot. Tuvalu has nine thousand people. Look at that.
That's that's pretty good. All right, give it to me, Scott.
(31:32):
You guys, here we go. Here's a fun one. J
HW two six seven six sent this in and way
to hide who you are. We love that for you.
This was in CCM News, but it was actually everywhere
And I've read a very funny review of this in Esquire.
New film titled The Carpenter intertwines MMA, heavy metal, and
(31:54):
Jesus into an inspiring tale.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Well, well, well somebody was going to to do it eventually.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
They were so busy worrying if they could they didn't
ask if they should, and it sounds like from their views,
they should not have the film. The Carpenter expects to
turn heads when it is released into select theaters nationwide.
It is the story of a champion MMA style prize
fighter who is befriended by a benevolent carpenter from Nazareth,
and it hits. It's going to hit silver screens at
(32:24):
one thousand locations.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
They had timeout, so when Jesus comes back, he comes
back to Nazareth, he.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Wouldn't choose a different spot. No, who is his time?
They didn't have map quest back then.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Okay, great the film or does MMA? Or does MMA
exist in this world? Does MMA exist at two thousand
years ago?
Speaker 1 (32:46):
That's the quest? Well, that's what Sparta. Some of the
reviews on the other website said that it did like
the fundamentals of like wrestling and judo and those kind
of things were very old. So mma is a very
old sport is what I think they were arguing.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Oh, so this is it is set. It's a period
piece movie.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Yes, it's a period piece. It is Jesus is in
the movie.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Yeah, oh the actual Jesus from two thousand years ago.
I see Okay, so it's a little bit Gladiators, it's
a little bit Jesus.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
That's right. Actually, there's funny. There's some comps in it
that are just like that. The film, backed by a
heavy metal soundtrack, follows the story of Oran, an adopted
orphan whose journey as a paid fighter takes him to
Nazareth in Galilee. There, he is befriended by Yeshua, a
carpenter who takes him under his wing to share his
craft and his wisdom. It was produced by the Krebs
(33:35):
family and the Carpenter was shot in Cape Town, South Africa.
They had upwards of two hundred extras who were required
for shooting the extensive mma and parkour actions. Yeah yeah,
Jesus doing parkour. You know, Jesus was so good at parkour.
A kidding me?
Speaker 2 (33:52):
He jumped off of rocks constantly.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
A walk of water.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Yeah yeah, that's the best parkour there is.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
There is no better park wor the walking gold Water.
That is the number one parkour move. I defy modern
park chorus to actually do that.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
It is very funny that like a common like magician's
trick is to pull things.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Out of a hat, right, funny yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
And it is very funny that, like he just kept
pulling loaves and fishes out of a basket.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Dude. Yeah, it's just like.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
A great it's just a great magician act, you know,
just like how many fish and loaves of bread can
I pull out of this basket?
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Yeah, there's just some poor guy underneath just passing loaves
out from under the stage through the empty bottom basket,
and so it got just a large pile of fish
and loaves. Yeah, it was Simon, but then he had
to change his name to Peter because somebody caught him
just feeding bread and Simon, I'm Peter. I'm not Saul,
I'm Paul. Oh. Oh, those are the two guys into
(34:53):
the stage, just passing trout up to all the people.
The Carpenter is co written by and stars of course
Cameron Krabs, and those were with K's.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
By the way, I really hope that this follows the
framework that you told me to look out for of
the movie The Beekeeper, where he says he's a beekeeper
legitimately fifty times in the movie. I hope he continuously
says I'm just a poor carpenter.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
I'm the carpenter. If you haven't seen Jason Statham's The
Beekeeper is intense. It's incredible so far. He is a beekeeper.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
He's a definite beekeeper and he says it a lot.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
And he worked for a black ops sort of defensive
group called the Beekeepers, and he was the beekeeper. So
the entire movie, if I told you to do a
shot every time they said the Beekeeper, you would die
within twelve minutes of the movie starting.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
So maybe because he's also a real beekeeper in addition
to being a secret beekeeper and head of the Beekeepers.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Right, that's right. As a screenwriter, I've never put one
word in a script as in ten scripts as they've
put Beekeeper in one script. The Beekeeper a great stupid watch,
especially if you're four twenty friendly. Almost a decade ago,
my dad and I were building a shed when we
(36:16):
came up with an idea for the film Said Crabs.
We were talking about how much perfection goes into the craft,
and we ultimately began discussing what a perfect occupation carpentry
was for Jesus. That's deep. That made us wonder what
it would be like to work under his tutelage as
(36:36):
his apprentice and from there. Our film was born Krebs.
His father Kenny, So that's Kenny with a K too.
They love the ks in this family, and I hope
all their middle names do not start with a ky.
He co wrote the screenplay. I fell in love with
the premise right away, Kenny Krebs says, asking the questions,
(36:56):
so many of us have asked, what was Jesus's life
life like? In the years leading up to his ministry.
We spent a lot of time imagining him during those
early adult years before his recorded ministry officially began. It
became clear that we should depict Jesus as a caring,
good humored, likable, wise older brother.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Wow, there is a lot like that is so fascinating
because like the last story of him is when he
was twelve, and then the next story of him is
when he's thirty three.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
Yeah, right, and that's the year he gets killed thirty
or thirty or something like that. Yeah, and then he
has three years of just totally kicking ass and doing
so just magic.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
So just eighteen years. That's never talked about. But apparently
there's Gnostic gospels. Have you ever heard of the Gnostic Gospels?
Speaker 1 (37:43):
I have heard of those yes.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
And that are apparently about those intervening years where he's
just like living.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
The life of a dude. Haven't thood this sort of
makes sense? Yeah, I think I would love to read him.
I don't know where they are, Yeah, I don't. I'm
sure they're tucked away. Sure Pop has tucked him away.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
He takes them out at night and reads him and goes, oh,
this stuff is filthy.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Yeah, he hides him under wet beef sandwiches and just
I mean, you gotta figure Pope Leo is still hammering
down on deep dish pizza and and old, old wet
Chicago beef. It's delicious. You know. When I was flying
back from our Chicago show O'Hair, I was like, I
(38:28):
gotta get a Chicago hot dog, And the line for
Chicago hot dogs in the airport was like thirty people.
Deep people love hot dogs.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
Oh, I always have a Chicago hot dog in the airport.
I always have a Chicago hot dog. The moment I
land of a Chicago hot dog, get it out of
the way.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Mmmmmmm. I had one. It was delicious, the last thing
before I got on the flight. It's the best. Fell
ready asleep, got on put on the New Oh god,
what was that dumb movie called? I put on a
new drama and fell asleep within two minutes and woke
up on initial dissent. Also, you and I went pretty hard.
We did so much Millort dress. I did like the
(39:08):
five Mylert shot just during the show.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
I think I only did two or three, and then yeah,
that was I woke up. I rented a car and
then drove on the map. It said four and a
half hours to Cincinnati from Chicago. I'm driving, I'm driving,
I'm driving. I get to two hours and forty five
minutes left in my journey and then it stayed at
(39:32):
two hours and forty five minutes for over an hour.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
And I was like, what the fuck is that? I got
so angry. It's like switched off Google Maps.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
I like went on ways, started driving on ways, and
it was just because I'd driven through the time change
and I realize.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
It, Yeah that makes sense, Yeah makes sense. But yeah,
pop Leo hammering that beef, so many Millart shots, just
as the Pope. Thanks everybody came out to the den.
That show was so fun. That was actually maybe a
top three show. I just had a great time. I
thought the audience was incredible. It really was. The Carpurtner's
soundtrack is pulled entirely from the era that gave us
(40:09):
Face the Pain by Stem, which is the UFC pay
per view music. The Old Bear Witness to the Fitness
of the Modern Warrior Ultimate Fighter theme song I Know
a Witness to the Fitness of a Modern Warrior the
lyrics to every late auts UFC fan that they knows
by heart. Does the Carpenter needle drop two separate Godsmack songs? Yes? Absolutely?
(40:34):
Do bodies hit the floor? Curt you better believe bodies
hit the floor? That's drowning pool. By the way, great name.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
So this article is in Heavy Metal Magazine?
Speaker 1 (40:43):
Why is this? Songs that are CCM news which and
I think the m is music? I do actually think
this isn't a music It was in Esquire. Also, weirdly,
do the bodies hit the floor? Yes? For those who
are still somehow interested in this film, think Rocky meets
the Ten Commandments or Gladiator meets Passion of the Christ. Honestly,
(41:03):
you got me those. I'm in for the second with
some lessons and a hallmark meet cute romance added for
good measure, also included our Motley Crue. It speaks to
the audience of sports reading. Is that what the how
the article goes?
Speaker 2 (41:19):
It says all that, and then also Motley Crue are there?
Speaker 1 (41:22):
It does, it says soundtrack also featuring songs from bands
like Motley Crue. That's what it says. I it. It
speaks to an audience of sports fans who go to
church on Sundays, says director and co screenwriter Garrett Battye
B A T. T. Why. It's been a fun adventure
to be a part of. So we got to watch
the carpenter at some point. All right, sounds good. I
(41:42):
bet it's not good, but we're gonna do it here.
I bet you is not.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
I will tease us into some thumbnup.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Oh yeah, I got four good thumbs ups. Yo, you
want to run a naked five k, you can.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
I would do that, Okay, Well, then we have to
talk about that after the thumbs up, because I do not.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
Okay. Is it in America? It is? No, I'm not
doing it here. Oh you would only do it in
a foreign country. Correct, all right, but I'd wear an
America hat. Just a little uncle say I'm top hat.
Right at the very end, freda thumbs up. Sarah Burpie,
(42:27):
great name, has a thumbs up. Her colleague at the
Washington Museum Association told her about a student named Anne
Longman who had a job offer rescinded at the Crater
Lake National Park. So, oh Man, you know why because yeah,
because he's in charge. Hate national parks for some reason.
Speaker 2 (42:45):
I imagine to get a job offer a Crater Lake.
Crater Lake is one of the most beautiful places is
planet Earth.
Speaker 1 (42:50):
Oh my god. So she got her off and Longman
got her off for rescinded. But you know what, she
got a temporary position somewhere else. But more importantly and
more banana centric, she started a Bird of the Week
website to practice his yeher interpretive skills, which is writing
exhibits exhibit right, yeah and yeah, and does all of
(43:12):
the illustrations on the website herself. I've been to this website,
car ban animals. I highly encourage you visit this if
you're bored at work, or bored at home, or bored anywhere.
But give me that website name Bird of Theweek dot info,
Bird of the Week dot info. The illustrations are beautiful
and thumbs up to you. This is how we stick it. Oh,
(43:35):
this's so cool.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
I'm looking at them right now and the first bird
up was Northern flicker, but it definitely looks like Northern fucker,
So that's fun right away.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
You Sarah Burpy thumbs up to you too for sending
it in very cool of you. Carissa right wants to
thumb up her fiance. They reached the seventy five hard
seventy five days of not smoking weed, which she had
been smoking daily for over five years. Carrissa says, I
remember being annoyed in the past when you guys would
talk about the seventy five Hard, So at this point
(44:07):
I have to say, we never talk about seventy five.
This shows how much weed Carissa was smoking. We do
the dry sixty nine. The seventy five hard seems somehow dirtier,
but hey, the seventy five Heart really is a different podcast. Yeah,
your mountain to climb, and we're so proud of you.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
And I bet to that other podcast that made up
seventy five hard doesn't even recognize this.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
And if it doesn't exist, we will take on the
seventy five hard. I will not be sending bumper stickers
for that. But congratulations and also Chrisa says, thanks guys
for celebrating bananimal's achievements. It really inspired me to keep sober.
That's cool. Write the fuck on good for you, Carissa,
and congratulations on You're not bananas related seventy five hard
(44:59):
Cassie Sento wants a thumb up for two cats. This
is another fun one, Zoe and Harvey. She says, my
husband and I are taking them on a year long
road trip. They're living that van life. They've been adapting
like champs living in the van as well. And they've
been these two cats, Zoe and Harvey, I've been able
to explore different parks and outdoor spaces. You can follow
their adventure cat adventures on at van Underscore Kiddies. Okay,
(45:24):
and so go check out Zoe and Harvey and see
these cats live in that van life. So we thumb
thumbs up. And last, but not least, Christa wants the
thumbs up the Maintenance Phase podcast. Okay, you know a
lot of podcasts. I love the podcasts. Wouldn't thumb up
another podcast, but here's coumbing up another podcast. We love
other podcasts. Kurt recently shouted out the maintenance Phase when
(45:47):
we were talking about blue zones being fake. Yeah remember
that one, yep, I sure do. But the wonderful Christa
says that the Maintenance Phase podcast helped her survive in
eating disorder more than any treatment facility ever did. Amazing, Christa,
You're the best. We love you. Keep it up, keep
it going. Thumbs up to you, to you, Kurdi B
(46:07):
for mentioning maintenance face. Yeah, and you know, if you
have a new podcast, I'm going to pick a month
this year. It won't be this month, the next month.
But if you want a banana boy as your guest
for I don't know, half an hour, I'll do your
podcast it is. I'll be a guest on your podcast.
I don't care how big it is, as long as
it exists. I don't want to do your first one.
Speaker 2 (46:29):
I'll do your third one, all right, Scott, do you
want to run a naked five?
Speaker 1 (46:33):
K will tell me about it.
Speaker 2 (46:35):
Oh this is from Posting Courier, Spartanburg, Spartanburg Posting Courier,
Now New York Baby, Uh no, maybe this is South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
Oh, it is South Carolina. This was written by oh
Christian Bosholt. Christian bustle. Don't know who that is best
in the business. Who it is? Damn right. Here's how
Christian starts it off. Track Suits are out, birthday suits
are in. Boom Baby.
Speaker 2 (47:06):
That's how you write it. That's how you write the
first line. At least that's the prevailing vibe. At the
Carolina Foothills Resorts Buck Creek Streak five K on June fourteenth,
the clothing optional trail race at the nudist resort in
southern Spartanburg County as a record one hundred and sixty
one people signed up so far. Tom Crowder, lifelong nudist
(47:29):
who's on the resources board of director, says, you can
go anywhere and do a five k, but you can't
go anywhere and run a five k naked. If you
go to the Turkey Trot and drop your drawers, you'd
probably get arrested, all right. Not so at Buck Creek Streak,
which takes place entirely within the confines of the private
community and away from public eyes. The race, started by
late Mike Ward, is going on it's eleventh year.
Speaker 1 (47:51):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (47:51):
About twenty five people ran the first race, but it's
gotten a lot bigger in the Intervening Decade. One hundred
and thirty eight ran it last year and the winning
time was twenty one forty five a pay of seven
minutes per mile. Uh think about seven minutes per mile
is a pretty good clip.
Speaker 1 (48:07):
It's pretty fast, I would say. So it's a lot
of jiggly bits. Well that's what I was thinking, that
that's a good run when you're you know, hanging out jingly, jangling.
I mean, are people wearing tape? What are they doing?
Speaker 2 (48:21):
And it's and also I mean, what if they're just
taping their balls over their dick to their stomach?
Speaker 1 (48:27):
Is that what they're doing? Also, I have balls and
ding dongs are one thing, but boobs ample buzzum is
not easy to run if you you know, is it
just two things of tape over like crossed over the chest?
What is happening here? And why hold it?
Speaker 2 (48:44):
Don't we want clothes? Why don't we want clothes when
we run?
Speaker 1 (48:49):
I under what that chafing curt The chafings would slows
you down from your record time? I guess so.
Speaker 2 (48:55):
But the jiggling, the jiggling baby.
Speaker 1 (48:58):
There, I think it's genetic. Some people love being naked
in a way that is inexplicable to me. I mean
we've talked about in the pop before. I mean, as
young men in New York, the number of shows that
were naked, comics naked, and prop shows naked. I saw
Equis or whatever that play was, and it was nudity,
and everyboy thought it was this great, big deal. Then
I watched, I'm like, yes, it's fine. I saw a
(49:19):
play called Metamorphosis that had nudity in it New York,
and I was like, didn't need it, didn't I anything.
Speaker 2 (49:25):
I've always been a fan of nudity, of being nude,
and I think, but it's gotten I've gotten less.
Speaker 1 (49:33):
I've gotten less nude in my old age.
Speaker 2 (49:35):
But I remember once and I think I told this
story I don't know on like the third Bananas.
Speaker 1 (49:40):
Yeah, But I was dating a woman. She had a friend.
Speaker 2 (49:45):
She kind of half lived upstate, half lived down in
Brooklyn with GONI. She had friends who I didn't know
very well, and we were driving to a party and
then we're coming back from the party but there wasn't
enough room the car and I was like, I'll ride
in the trunk. So I said I'll ride in the
trunk because I kind of like riding in trunks, especially
(50:08):
back when I was a teenager, and and so I
get in there, are you sure? And I was like, yeah,
I really don't mind it. It's it's more comfortable for
me than being like crammed up in a tiny car
on somebody's.
Speaker 1 (50:19):
Last foot four. You're a big guy.
Speaker 2 (50:22):
So I just while driving back, it was a little tipsy,
and I just thought it would be really funny if
I got fully undressed in the trunk, like I went
in fully clothed, and then it's kind of hard to
get out of your clothes in a trunk. There's a
trunk of a Honda, you know, small car. But I
(50:42):
managed to get out of all my clothes and then
it's like another twenty minutes until the house, and that's
enough time for me to get a little worried that
maybe I don't know these people that well. They're my
girlfriend's friends, and so what they originally I was going
to do is they would just like pop the trunk
and I'd be there like ah. But instead, you can
(51:03):
all trunks, and if you don't ride in trunks often
you might not know this, but they all have a
little latch that you can pop from the inside so
that people can't.
Speaker 1 (51:11):
Trap you in the gym. Yes, that's right.
Speaker 2 (51:13):
So they pull up, they stop, I pop the trunk
myself and then just start running to try and like
get away because my plan has become too weird for
even me. But instead I run, I run in front
of the car, likes in order to get to the house,
I have to run in front of the car, and
like the high beams are on beautiful, so they didn't
(51:36):
even know I had gotten out of the trunk. So
all they see is they pull up to a house
that they haven't been to in a couple hours, and
then just streaking across their high beams is just like
the whitest, tallest thing they've ever seen in their life,
just jiggly bits the whole way. Yeah, and people screamed
inside the car. They were surprised because they didn't think
(51:58):
I'd gotten out.
Speaker 1 (52:00):
They didn't. They thought it was somebody else. It's a
great joke. It was perfect execution. Yeah. I think you
nailed it. And I think if you're going to ride
in the trunk and pop out at a party of strangers,
you might as well do it. I mean, go for it.
You only live once.
Speaker 2 (52:12):
And then you have a story, Scotti, thank you so

The you don't think I was gonna do? No? The
pause before it really got me. Yeah. I was like, well,
I get sued for copyright for stealing lyrics a song,
but I didn't sing it in melody or harmony, so
we're safe. You're allowed to say ring, ring, ring banana phone.
Speaker 2 (01:12):

That song is so old. Yeah, shout out to RAFFI.
I think was it Raffi? I was gonna say Raffi,
but I don't know. Yeah, Oh man, how are you? Buddy?

Speaker 2 (01:29):
We sure did feeling good though I'm feeling good, had
a you know, I just got you know, I had
just had.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
A good work meeting. Do you know what I mean?
In some town.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Oh, they're few and far between. A project that I've
been working on for eight fucking years.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Congratulations.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Just had a lot of forward momentum put into it
and it feels very good and exciting.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Congratulations, It's wonderful and like you got to celebrate the
little things, Scottie. You ever and no matter what you
do these days, every victory, even a minus skill victory,
a step in the right direction, feels just like you're
sprinting through the finish line of your arms in the air.
It really really does. This is a big Prefontaine day
(02:15):
for you. You know. I had something similar too. I
so on Wednesday night Blumhouse, the horror Studio. They they're
trying to create a thing or I guess they just
created it called Halfway to Halloween. Halfway to Halloween. Good
idea where the pollics did Half Christmas first, and that
people still celebrate half Christmas. So June twenty fourth, yeah,
(02:38):
something like that. But anyways, Halfway to Halloween they did Annabelle,
Megan and Ma that's so cool.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Out of their entire they have such a big library, dude.
They have such a big library. And to be grouped
with the for just three three choices, they got three
choices and MA is one of them.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
That's so cool, dude. It was great, and it was
in a ton of theaters and they were all very
They weren't like one hundred percent sold out, like I
was clicking around on the different AMCs and regals just
to see, but full sized theaters. So Strawberry and I
went to AMC and Burbank full theater, packed all my heads.
So I've only seen MA twice now. I saw it
(03:21):
when you were there the premiere in two thousand May
twenty nineteen, and that was mostly industry folks, some friends
and family, but that's mostly like agents, lawyers, executives, people
that work on it. So you never know, Like it
went really well at the premiere, but you just never
know what's real and what's not. But then to go
see it at nine o'clock with all fans of the movie,
(03:43):
and the fans of MA are women, natural outsiders and
gay men. That is, it was either solo people like
Gothy sort of. I embraced the darkness folks. Yeah, groups
of women or groups of gay men.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
That is that is like the best fan base.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
It was incredible the so the second time I've seen it,
and when you know, Blumhouse puts their title cart up,
Universal has their don And as soon as the movie started,
people broke out into cheering, shouting ah. And as soon
as Sue Anne Octavia Spencer's character Monck came on screen,
(04:24):
people hooted and hollered and cheered and erupted, and then
they quoted the movie and it was it was so moving.
I actually got choked up that I had to like
fight back tears at the beginning of it, because, like
you said, in this town, every little step feels impossible.
It was so special, and it was like nobody knew
(04:45):
I was there, you know, nobody knew the guy that
wrote it was there. But it was it was good.
It was a beautiful moment and I really truly had
to fight back tears a couple of times. That is.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I mean, like you never like in this in you
you almost never get that, you almost never get that
kind of experience satisfaction. And also as a writer, you
know that like that is all you do is spend
hundreds of hours quietly by yourself that's exactly I've been
(05:17):
and in your head and imagining things, and then to
sell to share it with that many people, that is
like life.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Thousands of people watched it on Wednesday night. I'm looking
up let's see if it made the cut Wednesday. You're
checking Box office Mojo. Yeah, I wonder if it did,
because I'm sure it made a million. But it was
very special to be surrounded by strangers who were of sessed,
(05:45):
dressed like Sue Anne, wearing T shirts with her image
on it, like saying don't make me drink. I mean
when she says don't make me drink alone, two hundred
people were chanting don't make me. It felt incredible, incredible.
It was one of one of the best parts of
the year so far.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
From me, Oh, I'm so happy for you, dude. That
makes me so That makes me so happy. And also
to the fact that it has such a following. I mean,
it just it just it just goes to show you
deserve all the success in the world, my friend.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Thank you. I accept the compliment. In twenty twenty five, Yes,
looking for congrats. Man.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
That compliments folks, except compliments. It's hard to do, is
it is hard to do, but you could use Scotty's
phrase that is not awkward at all. I accept the compliment.
In twenty twenty five, we're.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Also guarded and shattered and armed up these days, but
we're comment back. We're fighting back. Also, one thing I
want to announce at the top. I won't say her
full name just in case there's crazy people, but we
have a bananimal named Steph who you and I met.
She came in to Bananas Fest in Denver. Yes, she
is now in Malta. She moved to the end Pendent Nation.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Of Malta with all the falcons with her.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
All the Maltese falcons are there, and she told you
she might be our first, she might be our only
Maltese bananimal. I think she wanted me to say this
on the podcast.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Just she has she has fluffy hair that covers her
whole body and over her face as well.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Again a Maltese dog joke. Okay, she's really fun, she's
a she's a cool bananable. She she might go that way,
but she said she wanted me to say. If you
live in Malta and you listen to Bananas and you're
hearing this right now, dm us because She's like, I
would love to meet Maltese bananimals on this small island
nation in the middle of the miniature. Excuse me, yeah, Mediterranean.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
The Malta is in the middle of the Mediterranean. I'm
going to look up Malta right now.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
A lot about Malta because I've always wanted to visit.
It is a European country. It's had like ten different
countries rule it. It's near North Africa, it's near Sicily.
It's it's an educational podcast. Oh yeah, yeah, it's in between.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Okay, so it's in between Sicily, and it's closer to
Sicily than North to Tripoli to North Africa. Yeah, it's
much closer to Sicily. But look at that, and it's like, look,
what's the one picture that Google Maps has chosen.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I don't know, looks like it looks very historic. It
looks very historic, it looks very Shout out to any
Maltese ban animals, and of Steph, if you're the only one,
I'm gonna send you a postcard because I've never mailed
anything to Malta.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Oh I wonder how long it takes.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
I still feel bad.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I have a banana's poster, you know, because I've been
cleaning and whatnot, and I found we I try.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
I mailed a bananas.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Poster to Australia because someone had like I guess, like
responded first or something, and they were in Australia and
whatever I paid, whatever the fifteen dollars was to like
ship it to Australia, like four months later, it got
returned because the address maybe I wrote it down wrong
or something.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
I have a dry sixty nine envelope right here, Nads,
you live in Long Beach. It got booted back to me,
So Nads email me or how do you spell Nads?
Is it g yes? I think it's a nickname. But
it got sent back. It got returned to centered. But
I have a dry sixty nine sticker for you, all.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Right, yeah right, Maybe maybe the postman was like nobody
named Nads lives here, sent it back.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
That's right, there's no Nads here. There's Natalie Nargan, but hurt.
That's she's not Nads, Natalie Norgan. How much longer did

books that I wrote when I was seventeen, eighteen, nineteen
years old, and I'm going to read them. They're all ages,
so they're only about five minutes long, and they're absolutely
A three year old could listen to it, or a
three hundred year old could listen to it. So if
you need something to shut your kids up in the car, boy,

gonna go down to that lobby bar and grab a
bunch of drinks and come on up and meet all
the bananimals. Oh hell yeah. So thanks for all the

(12:49):
than bananas work with your support. We really truly appreciate it,
and we know how much you guys care, So thank
you very much.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
This was in Tech Times. Love It written by James Getty's.
They got Getty's, They got them. It is geddes, It
might be just Gids James Gids. Mobile phone throwing is
actually a national sport in Finland. Competitors meet annually to
(13:20):
see who can throw their handset the farthest. Everyone is
fantasized about throwing his or her mobile phone at one
point or another, whatever it was after a fight with
your significant other, being put on hold forever by your
mobile provider, receiving an angry text. Why do we have
to have that many James? Why do we have to
that many media? Ratchet reality TV stars aside, most of
(13:43):
us are able to hold it ratchet.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Look at this, I mean stick in there still isn't ratchet. No,
this is from twenty fifteen. Okay, it was pretty ratchet.
Everything was on fleet back then. Yeah, most of us
are able. Oh my god. I saw a store recently.
Where was it? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
It was in New Jersey. It was in New Jersey,
was in Long Branch, New Jersey. It was called on
Fleek And I was like, what a twenty fifteen store?
Does anybody even know what on fleek means anymore?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
There's a place in Silver Lake right now called Crispy Eyebrows. Boy,
that sounds real dumb, now, man.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
There was a place in Los Felis, and I'm so
sad at clothes called cougart, Oh.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Cougar, but it wasn't yogurt. It was like Mediterranean food.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Food, also delicious Mediterranean food. I ate there all the time.
Affordable cougart was wonderful, but yeah, definitely sounds like cum
yogurt and nobody ate there. I was by myself every
time I was in cougart.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Ratchet reality TV stars aside, most of us are able
to hold it together and refrain from the overwhelming urge.
We occasionally get to just wing our phone into the
atmosphere or even at the object of our ire.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
However, what if we could.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Just once this is has been such a long opening
for this here it is the folks over in Finland
have not only created an environmentally specific and not only
created an environment specifically for themselves to play out that fantasy,
they've actually made it into a national sport. Since two thousand, Wow,
that's an early adopter. Agreed, natives of Finland have been
(15:20):
flocking to the town of Savonlinna to participate in the
mobile phone throwing Championships. The contestants throw phones that have
been donated and provided, and are not allowed to bring
their own devices. They are, however, encouraged to choose the
phone that fits best to his or her hand or
looks the nicest, according to the official website of the sport.
It further explains there are clearly two parties in this one.
(15:44):
Some believe that the heavier phones fly further than the
lighter ones, and others think.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Just the opposite.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
There is an official jury panel that determines the acceptability
of each throw and approves the results with absolutely no
appeals allowed. The longest throws, three hundred and twenty point
six three feet.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Is tops thus far, that's far. What is a football field?
That's a football field is one hundred yards, so three
hundred feet.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
So it's more than a football field.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
So maybe it gets like a frisbee effect. It gets
a disc golf effect if you wing it correctly. It
maybe maybe it's sales I don't.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Know are recorded, though the rules are presented seriously. The
entire concept is somewhat toungue in cheek, you know say.
Humor connects people globally and is also part of this sport.
On the website pronounces in true finish hilariousness, have you
I've been I drink I only drink oat milk, and
(16:46):
I only drink oatly oat milk.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I mean I drink other things. But my milk. Is
oat milk good for you? I don't think it is.
I don't think it is.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
You don't think oat milk is good for you? You
know what we told? No, No, we told are our endochronology,
like Gus has an endo chronologist because we're still trying
to figure out some gross stuff. And uh and Lauren said,
she said he drinks oat milk because he's got a
lactose intolerance. And she was like, that's great, it's good
to hear that he's drinking oat milk. She was like
(17:16):
happy about the oatmeal.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
I do know that people are always like there's binders
and strengtheners or whatever that no good drink.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
And I'm just yeah, anyway, who knows? Who knows is
anybody living more than a hundred? No.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
The whole reason I was saying that is that the
oatly oat milk. They're from Sweden or Switzerland, one of
those Scandinavian countries, and they have like one side of
the of the boxes just like they're supposed to be funny,
and it is the worst sense of humor and the
dumbest stuff printed on the side of this thing, like
one of them is like, do you need a different
(17:54):
mouth to drink oat milk?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
And I can just.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Imagine someone saying it in like a Swiss accent and
be like, do you need a different mouth to drink
oat milk? It's so funny for me to say that.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
That is so funny. Yeah, where is Oatly from? I
don't know Sweden. I think they're kicking some butt. Well
I've heard they're kicking butt. We have a lot of
Swedish bananimals, So Swedish ban animals. You guys love that
oat milk or what you love oatly obsessed with?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Also no offense with my accent. That was definitely German.
Well in Switzerland, so it's yeah, from where's Oatly from?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
You're looking it up? I couldn't figure it out. I was.
I couldn't figure it out. The website it was just
a lot of people with thick bangs. I was like, No,
I got to pay attention to the podcast. I was
getting lost. Sweden, Malmo, Sweden. I would like I would
love to go to Sweden too. That seems like a
great place to visit. I want to do the midsummer
(18:56):
thing where you sit out in boats and the sun's
out at midnight. Here course I do. I would love that.
That sounds delightful, you know, Sarah Painter had never been
able to sent us in a long time ago. Another
phone story and twenty a man in Wales found his
old Nokia phone. He was like cleaning up in his
garden or something, or he was in his own Oh,
(19:16):
I love this story. Twenty two year old Nokia phone,
the break, the little blue ones that we all had. Also,
I loved that phone. You couldn't couldn't really text, you
had a T nine. It was Yeah, it was really great.
And he turned it on a Nokia thirty three ten
and it still had one bar of battery left after
twenty two years.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
I mean, that's that's insane. I don't even understand that.
And that was when the battery just popped out. Right,
those are for the old Nokia phones. The battery just
popped out.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
I think. So, I mean, I think the blue ones
you just had a little plug at the bottom. But yeah,
I miss those, I think, as you know, as soon
as I don't have to look at contracts and read
scripts and stuff on my phone, I would go back
to a dumb phone so quickly if I could just
text and call. I'd be so happy.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
So there's something I think Joanah Ray just got it,
something called like simple or something, but it have you
heard about this? So it's so it's an actual physical
keyboard and then the screen is all just black and
white and there's no social media on it. But you
do have the Internet and you have email, and you
(20:26):
have text and that's it. Oh and you have navigation.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
I think.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
So it's like the things that are like functional and usable.
But you don't have Instagram, you don't have Twitter, you
don't have x, you don't have Reddit.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
That shit time suck. Time suck for real. Bra you're
a parent, do you think a phone? Do you think
kids should be banned from social media until they're like
sixteen or eighteen or something. Hundred percent?
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Yeah, one hundred percent, no questions asked. I I just
watch because my kids are don't have access. They are
allowed I don't know, like a very limited amount of
time on an iPad.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
It's not even an iPad.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
It's like a fucking Amazon kindle that was like fifty bucks.
But and they when they get it, they are like
drug addicts and then they just do it. And then
the moment you take it away. It is a meltdown
every single time. And it's just like watching that fucking
dopamine hit.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Like boom boom boom boom boom.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
And then after that they're usually pieces of shit for
like a couple hours after and that is what's fascinating.
It's like all of a sudden, you're like thinking, like,
what's going on with these kids, and then you realize, oh,
yesterday they played like on their iPad for like three
for like two hours or something like that, and then
(21:49):
you see it the very next day. You see that
like normal life where things aren't like constantly rewarding them
is just dull and they hate it and it's just
like it's terrifying.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
It's absolutely terrifying to me.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
And it's terrifying how much I want to go to
my thing, you know, your phone, my little electronic pacifier.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I mean, Karen always had that song on her album,
like look at your phone, and it's just like, no
matter what you do, look at your phone, like feeling
awkward for a second, look at your phone standing in
a crowd, look at your phone, enter her new rooms,
look at your phone, and it's like it is comfort.
It really is. I was talking to a comedian mom
a couple of days ago about this exact thing, and
she's like, absolutely no social media for kids under sixteen.
(22:36):
And she's like, and you could do it overnight, and
a year from the moment it happens, we will all
look back and be like, why was that ever? Okay?
And the example she gave was so funny. She had
just moved to LA she was twenty one. She got
a job working for Sun Dance. So she goes to
Park City for a couple of weeks and in those
two weeks they banned smoking in bars and restaurants in
(22:57):
Los Angeles. So when she left LA, she was in
a bar the night before and people were smoking cigarettes
and hanging out, and then when she got back none.
And in LA I think at first you had to
be like two hundred feet from the front of a
bar restaurant, like it was tony and crazed. But she's like,
it changed overnight, and when I came back it was
and she's like, we could do that with this, and
(23:17):
it's an interesting She's right, you can go instantly this
is no, and then it goes away, and I think
it would be interesting. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Well, the thing is is that like you can't actually
do it because it requires it requires age verification for
a child that doesn't have an idea, you know what
I mean, I do, so all of a sudden you
get into like biometric markers and stuff like that to
figure out who's sixteen, and then it just becomes creepy
and so.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
That, yeah, it would become creepy.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
But I remember that. I remember when they banned smoking
in New York. I remember the night before the band
we're in a bar smoking and being like, the fucking
lunatics if they think that New Yorkers are gonna stop
smoking in bars. And then the very next night we
went out and didn't couldn't smoke in the bar and
(24:11):
then went home and didn't smell like an ash tray,
and we're like, oh, this is amazing.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
It was in two thousand and three. Yeah, it was
so cool. I wasn't there yet. I was still in college,
but at that bar.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
And then also the act of going outside to have
a cigarette became its own sule, Yeah, because it was
a break from having to be in wherever you were, Like,
take a break, walk outside with one person, you want
to have a talk with And I still do that sometimes,
even though I don't smoke all the time. I'll just
(24:47):
be like, smoke break and go outside and just give
myself five minutes outside of a party or a bar.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
And I love. Here you go, Kurt, I just looked
up it's an educational podcast. Yes and things all the time.
What country do you think has the highest smoking rate
per capita? Okay? Oh, I love this question. All right,
we'll start with states. First states, What states smokes the
(25:13):
most per capita? Games?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Okay, state that smokes the most per capita.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
It makes a lot of sense, but it does. Guessed
it top both great guesses. Maybe it's because I'm an
East coaster. Uh. West Virginia. Yeah, they're already sucking in
that cole sat might as well just top it off
with some nicotine and tar. Yeah. That makes With a
small population only one point seventy nine million people, West
(25:42):
Virginia has the highest smoking rate in the United States
as of two with nearly a quarter of the people smoking.
That's really high for America, really high.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
I think California is probably like eight percent or seven
percent or something.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Yes, and then country I didn't even known. I want
to guess countries too. If you guess one of the
top three, I'll give you the win, because I've never
heard of this country, and I am.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
The top three that you haven't. You haven't heard of
the top I've.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Heard of two of the top three. You've heard two
of the top three.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yeah, okay, So my my gut wants me to go
Eastern Europe, right, good?
Speaker 1 (26:20):
But is it? Okay? Am I honing in? All right?
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Because I was going to go either Eastern Europe, But
then I think there's also a lot of Asian countries
that have, like, for real, a lot of smoking inside.
So I'm gonna go Slovenia.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Great, guess not one of the top three. Okay, great gas, Okay,
give me the ti to one of them.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I've been Oh oh, then I know exactly what you're
talking about.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Bulgaria. Bulgario's number three. Bulgaria's number three.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
That's fantastic, all right. I was smoking inside.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
I was smoking. Thirty eight percent of adults over the
age of sixteen smokes cigarettes.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I remember I sat down in a Bulgarian casino. Yes,
I was there shooting for a week, and I uh
and the as I understand it and apologized apologies to
all the Bulgarians out there, but as I understand that
the country is like essentially run by a version of
the mafia, the Bulgarian mafia business, and these guys, I
(27:22):
wanted to play poker because I've been playing poker online
with friends and only online, and I wanted to play
it in real person. So I waited for a slot
at a table and the guy sat me down. I
was seated with only men who were dressed in tracksuits,
like just the classic Eastern European mafia kind of where
(27:43):
and and was doing it and I would just keep
missing the blind all the time because it was in Bulgarian.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I've told this story, haven't I I think so, but
maybe but maybe not. I'll speed it up. I'll speed
it up.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
And so I was like, you know, just just do
them a thing, doing my thing. But this one guy
kept calling me George, and I kept saying my name
is Kurt, and he just kept calling me George, and
then he would be like George, you know, annie up,
you know, and I would just keep missing it and
keep missing it because it was again in Bulgarian. And
then and then one of them was like, you never
played have you ever played poker before? And I was like,
(28:18):
oh boy, this is not going well. And I was
like only online and he's like, yeah, it shows. And
I was like, this guy's a piece of shit.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
And then we keep playing.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
He goes, I have a good hand, he goes, he
goes all in against me, and I was like okay, okay,
and I mean like he thought he was he thought
I was bluffing, and I went all in against him.
I took all of his money, which was eight hundred dollars,
and then I just sat and which in Bulgaria is
an enormous is enormous amount of money, and he was
(28:51):
very mad. And then I just sat there and I
was like, okay, I.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Want to run.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
I want to run really far away, and instead I
like stayed. I was like, I understand enough. I understand
enough that I have to give him an opportunity to
win his money back. Yes, uh, And he had it
in for me.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
We played again.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
I played for maybe an hour more, and he did
it again and I took him again good.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
And then I.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Threw that guy good and I and I sauntered out
of the casino and then ran to a Limescooter was like.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Babe, he saved your own life. That's just being aware.
Good for you, well good, And that guy's probably still
killing every Georgian Bulgaria until he finds you. He's got
a list of all the Georgis. So okay, So Bulgaria
is number three. Two. Is an Asian country. Okay, okay, okay, okay.
He used to be known as another name famously and
(29:52):
now it is not oh oh oh Sri Lanka. That's
a great guess.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Uh No, no was Ala is renamed right or no?
Am I thinking Istanbul Constantinople.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Sure these are all places? Mean Mars number two to
be Burma right right, right? Okay? And the number one
highest smoking per capita rate in the world is the
third smallest country in the world, curt oh, And I
don't I'm going to say it, and I don't know
if that's how you say it, but I think it's
(30:26):
called now ru oh Nau? Are you? It is wo
north of Australia. It's in Oceania, and it's fifty two
point six percent of women the four people who live there.
That's right, naarrus the highest smoking rate in the world
at fifty two point one percent. I'm a look over population.
(30:47):
Let's look at the population of Nauru. I would love that.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
And this is really a weird educational podcast.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
I know people are going to show up to work
today and just they're going to have facts to spit
all their co workers are gonna be like, damn, Debbie
got smart.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
The population of the country of Nauru is seventy five
now because now.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Five thousand people there smoke. That's but that's where the
city is. Two Volu. Cool, wait, No, two Valu's another country,
another country. We're learning a lot. Look at this, We're
learning a lot. Tuvalu has nine thousand people. Look at that.
That's that's pretty good. All right, give it to me, Scott.
(31:32):
You guys, here we go. Here's a fun one. J
HW two six seven six sent this in and way
to hide who you are. We love that for you.
This was in CCM News, but it was actually everywhere
And I've read a very funny review of this in Esquire.
New film titled The Carpenter intertwines MMA, heavy metal, and
(31:54):
Jesus into an inspiring tale.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Well, well, well somebody was going to to do it eventually.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
They were so busy worrying if they could they didn't
ask if they should, and it sounds like from their views,
they should not have the film. The Carpenter expects to
turn heads when it is released into select theaters nationwide.
It is the story of a champion MMA style prize
fighter who is befriended by a benevolent carpenter from Nazareth,
and it hits. It's going to hit silver screens at
(32:24):
one thousand locations.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
They had timeout, so when Jesus comes back, he comes
back to Nazareth, he.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Wouldn't choose a different spot. No, who is his time?
They didn't have map quest back then.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Okay, great the film or does MMA? Or does MMA
exist in this world? Does MMA exist at two thousand
years ago?
Speaker 1 (32:46):
That's the quest? Well, that's what Sparta. Some of the
reviews on the other website said that it did like
the fundamentals of like wrestling and judo and those kind
of things were very old. So mma is a very
old sport is what I think they were arguing.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Oh, so this is it is set. It's a period
piece movie.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Yes, it's a period piece. It is Jesus is in
the movie.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Yeah, oh the actual Jesus from two thousand years ago.
I see Okay, so it's a little bit Gladiators, it's
a little bit Jesus.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
That's right. Actually, there's funny. There's some comps in it
that are just like that. The film, backed by a
heavy metal soundtrack, follows the story of Oran, an adopted
orphan whose journey as a paid fighter takes him to
Nazareth in Galilee. There, he is befriended by Yeshua, a
carpenter who takes him under his wing to share his
craft and his wisdom. It was produced by the Krebs
(33:35):
family and the Carpenter was shot in Cape Town, South Africa.
They had upwards of two hundred extras who were required
for shooting the extensive mma and parkour actions. Yeah yeah,
Jesus doing parkour. You know, Jesus was so good at parkour.
A kidding me?
Speaker 2 (33:52):
He jumped off of rocks constantly.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
A walk of water.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Yeah yeah, that's the best parkour there is.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
There is no better park wor the walking gold Water.
That is the number one parkour move. I defy modern
park chorus to actually do that.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
It is very funny that like a common like magician's
trick is to pull things.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Out of a hat, right, funny yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
And it is very funny that, like he just kept
pulling loaves and fishes out of a basket.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Dude. Yeah, it's just like.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
A great it's just a great magician act, you know,
just like how many fish and loaves of bread can
I pull out of this basket?
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Yeah, there's just some poor guy underneath just passing loaves
out from under the stage through the empty bottom basket,
and so it got just a large pile of fish
and loaves. Yeah, it was Simon, but then he had
to change his name to Peter because somebody caught him
just feeding bread and Simon, I'm Peter. I'm not Saul,
I'm Paul. Oh. Oh, those are the two guys into
(34:53):
the stage, just passing trout up to all the people.
The Carpenter is co written by and stars of course
Cameron Krabs, and those were with K's.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
By the way, I really hope that this follows the
framework that you told me to look out for of
the movie The Beekeeper, where he says he's a beekeeper
legitimately fifty times in the movie. I hope he continuously
says I'm just a poor carpenter.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
I'm the carpenter. If you haven't seen Jason Statham's The
Beekeeper is intense. It's incredible so far. He is a beekeeper.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
He's a definite beekeeper and he says it a lot.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
And he worked for a black ops sort of defensive
group called the Beekeepers, and he was the beekeeper. So
the entire movie, if I told you to do a
shot every time they said the Beekeeper, you would die
within twelve minutes of the movie starting.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
So maybe because he's also a real beekeeper in addition
to being a secret beekeeper and head of the Beekeepers.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Right, that's right. As a screenwriter, I've never put one
word in a script as in ten scripts as they've
put Beekeeper in one script. The Beekeeper a great stupid watch,
especially if you're four twenty friendly. Almost a decade ago,
my dad and I were building a shed when we
(36:16):
came up with an idea for the film Said Crabs.
We were talking about how much perfection goes into the craft,
and we ultimately began discussing what a perfect occupation carpentry
was for Jesus. That's deep. That made us wonder what
it would be like to work under his tutelage as
(36:36):
his apprentice and from there. Our film was born Krebs.
His father Kenny, So that's Kenny with a K too.
They love the ks in this family, and I hope
all their middle names do not start with a ky.
He co wrote the screenplay. I fell in love with
the premise right away, Kenny Krebs says, asking the questions,
(36:56):
so many of us have asked, what was Jesus's life
life like? In the years leading up to his ministry.
We spent a lot of time imagining him during those
early adult years before his recorded ministry officially began. It
became clear that we should depict Jesus as a caring,
good humored, likable, wise older brother.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Wow, there is a lot like that is so fascinating
because like the last story of him is when he
was twelve, and then the next story of him is
when he's thirty three.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
Yeah, right, and that's the year he gets killed thirty
or thirty or something like that. Yeah, and then he
has three years of just totally kicking ass and doing
so just magic.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
So just eighteen years. That's never talked about. But apparently
there's Gnostic gospels. Have you ever heard of the Gnostic Gospels?
Speaker 1 (37:43):
I have heard of those yes.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
And that are apparently about those intervening years where he's
just like living.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
The life of a dude. Haven't thood this sort of
makes sense? Yeah, I think I would love to read him.
I don't know where they are, Yeah, I don't. I'm
sure they're tucked away. Sure Pop has tucked him away.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
He takes them out at night and reads him and goes, oh,
this stuff is filthy.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Yeah, he hides him under wet beef sandwiches and just
I mean, you gotta figure Pope Leo is still hammering
down on deep dish pizza and and old, old wet
Chicago beef. It's delicious. You know. When I was flying
back from our Chicago show O'Hair, I was like, I
(38:28):
gotta get a Chicago hot dog, And the line for
Chicago hot dogs in the airport was like thirty people.
Deep people love hot dogs.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
Oh, I always have a Chicago hot dog in the airport.
I always have a Chicago hot dog. The moment I
land of a Chicago hot dog, get it out of
the way.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Mmmmmmm. I had one. It was delicious, the last thing
before I got on the flight. It's the best. Fell
ready asleep, got on put on the New Oh god,
what was that dumb movie called? I put on a
new drama and fell asleep within two minutes and woke
up on initial dissent. Also, you and I went pretty hard.
We did so much Millort dress. I did like the
(39:08):
five Mylert shot just during the show.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
I think I only did two or three, and then yeah,
that was I woke up. I rented a car and
then drove on the map. It said four and a
half hours to Cincinnati from Chicago. I'm driving, I'm driving,
I'm driving. I get to two hours and forty five
minutes left in my journey and then it stayed at
(39:32):
two hours and forty five minutes for over an hour.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
And I was like, what the fuck is that? I got
so angry. It's like switched off Google Maps.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
I like went on ways, started driving on ways, and
it was just because I'd driven through the time change
and I realize.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
It, Yeah that makes sense, Yeah makes sense. But yeah,
pop Leo hammering that beef, so many Millart shots, just
as the Pope. Thanks everybody came out to the den.
That show was so fun. That was actually maybe a
top three show. I just had a great time. I
thought the audience was incredible. It really was. The Carpurtner's
soundtrack is pulled entirely from the era that gave us
(40:09):
Face the Pain by Stem, which is the UFC pay
per view music. The Old Bear Witness to the Fitness
of the Modern Warrior Ultimate Fighter theme song I Know
a Witness to the Fitness of a Modern Warrior the
lyrics to every late auts UFC fan that they knows
by heart. Does the Carpenter needle drop two separate Godsmack songs? Yes? Absolutely?
(40:34):
Do bodies hit the floor? Curt you better believe bodies
hit the floor? That's drowning pool. By the way, great name.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
So this article is in Heavy Metal Magazine?
Speaker 1 (40:43):
Why is this? Songs that are CCM news which and
I think the m is music? I do actually think
this isn't a music It was in Esquire. Also, weirdly,
do the bodies hit the floor? Yes? For those who
are still somehow interested in this film, think Rocky meets
the Ten Commandments or Gladiator meets Passion of the Christ. Honestly,
(41:03):
you got me those. I'm in for the second with
some lessons and a hallmark meet cute romance added for
good measure, also included our Motley Crue. It speaks to
the audience of sports reading. Is that what the how
the article goes?
Speaker 2 (41:19):
It says all that, and then also Motley Crue are there?
Speaker 1 (41:22):
It does, it says soundtrack also featuring songs from bands
like Motley Crue. That's what it says. I it. It
speaks to an audience of sports fans who go to
church on Sundays, says director and co screenwriter Garrett Battye
B A T. T. Why. It's been a fun adventure
to be a part of. So we got to watch
the carpenter at some point. All right, sounds good. I
(41:42):
bet it's not good, but we're gonna do it here.
I bet you is not.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
I will tease us into some thumbnup.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Oh yeah, I got four good thumbs ups. Yo, you
want to run a naked five k, you can.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
I would do that, Okay, Well, then we have to
talk about that after the thumbs up, because I do not.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
Okay. Is it in America? It is? No, I'm not
doing it here. Oh you would only do it in
a foreign country. Correct, all right, but I'd wear an
America hat. Just a little uncle say I'm top hat.
Right at the very end, freda thumbs up. Sarah Burpie,
(42:27):
great name, has a thumbs up. Her colleague at the
Washington Museum Association told her about a student named Anne
Longman who had a job offer rescinded at the Crater
Lake National Park. So, oh Man, you know why because yeah,
because he's in charge. Hate national parks for some reason.
Speaker 2 (42:45):
I imagine to get a job offer a Crater Lake.
Crater Lake is one of the most beautiful places is
planet Earth.
Speaker 1 (42:50):
Oh my god. So she got her off and Longman
got her off for rescinded. But you know what, she
got a temporary position somewhere else. But more importantly and
more banana centric, she started a Bird of the Week
website to practice his yeher interpretive skills, which is writing
exhibits exhibit right, yeah and yeah, and does all of
(43:12):
the illustrations on the website herself. I've been to this website,
car ban animals. I highly encourage you visit this if
you're bored at work, or bored at home, or bored anywhere.
But give me that website name Bird of Theweek dot info,
Bird of the Week dot info. The illustrations are beautiful
and thumbs up to you. This is how we stick it. Oh,
(43:35):
this's so cool.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
I'm looking at them right now and the first bird
up was Northern flicker, but it definitely looks like Northern fucker,
So that's fun right away.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
You Sarah Burpy thumbs up to you too for sending
it in very cool of you. Carissa right wants to
thumb up her fiance. They reached the seventy five hard
seventy five days of not smoking weed, which she had
been smoking daily for over five years. Carrissa says, I
remember being annoyed in the past when you guys would
talk about the seventy five Hard, So at this point
(44:07):
I have to say, we never talk about seventy five.
This shows how much weed Carissa was smoking. We do
the dry sixty nine. The seventy five hard seems somehow dirtier,
but hey, the seventy five Heart really is a different podcast. Yeah,
your mountain to climb, and we're so proud of you.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
And I bet to that other podcast that made up
seventy five hard doesn't even recognize this.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
And if it doesn't exist, we will take on the
seventy five hard. I will not be sending bumper stickers
for that. But congratulations and also Chrisa says, thanks guys
for celebrating bananimal's achievements. It really inspired me to keep sober.
That's cool. Write the fuck on good for you, Carissa,
and congratulations on You're not bananas related seventy five hard
(44:59):
Cassie Sento wants a thumb up for two cats. This
is another fun one, Zoe and Harvey. She says, my
husband and I are taking them on a year long
road trip. They're living that van life. They've been adapting
like champs living in the van as well. And they've
been these two cats, Zoe and Harvey, I've been able
to explore different parks and outdoor spaces. You can follow
their adventure cat adventures on at van Underscore Kiddies. Okay,
(45:24):
and so go check out Zoe and Harvey and see
these cats live in that van life. So we thumb
thumbs up. And last, but not least, Christa wants the
thumbs up the Maintenance Phase podcast. Okay, you know a
lot of podcasts. I love the podcasts. Wouldn't thumb up
another podcast, but here's coumbing up another podcast. We love
other podcasts. Kurt recently shouted out the maintenance Phase when
(45:47):
we were talking about blue zones being fake. Yeah remember
that one, yep, I sure do. But the wonderful Christa
says that the Maintenance Phase podcast helped her survive in
eating disorder more than any treatment facility ever did. Amazing, Christa,
You're the best. We love you. Keep it up, keep
it going. Thumbs up to you, to you, Kurdi B
(46:07):
for mentioning maintenance face. Yeah, and you know, if you
have a new podcast, I'm going to pick a month
this year. It won't be this month, the next month.
But if you want a banana boy as your guest
for I don't know, half an hour, I'll do your
podcast it is. I'll be a guest on your podcast.
I don't care how big it is, as long as
it exists. I don't want to do your first one.
Speaker 2 (46:29):
I'll do your third one, all right, Scott, do you
want to run a naked five?
Speaker 1 (46:33):
K will tell me about it.
Speaker 2 (46:35):
Oh this is from Posting Courier, Spartanburg, Spartanburg Posting Courier,
Now New York Baby, Uh no, maybe this is South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
Oh, it is South Carolina. This was written by oh
Christian Bosholt. Christian bustle. Don't know who that is best
in the business. Who it is? Damn right. Here's how
Christian starts it off. Track Suits are out, birthday suits
are in. Boom Baby.
Speaker 2 (47:06):
That's how you write it. That's how you write the
first line. At least that's the prevailing vibe. At the
Carolina Foothills Resorts Buck Creek Streak five K on June fourteenth,
the clothing optional trail race at the nudist resort in
southern Spartanburg County as a record one hundred and sixty
one people signed up so far. Tom Crowder, lifelong nudist
(47:29):
who's on the resources board of director, says, you can
go anywhere and do a five k, but you can't
go anywhere and run a five k naked. If you
go to the Turkey Trot and drop your drawers, you'd
probably get arrested, all right. Not so at Buck Creek Streak,
which takes place entirely within the confines of the private
community and away from public eyes. The race, started by
late Mike Ward, is going on it's eleventh year.
Speaker 1 (47:51):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (47:51):
About twenty five people ran the first race, but it's
gotten a lot bigger in the Intervening Decade. One hundred
and thirty eight ran it last year and the winning
time was twenty one forty five a pay of seven
minutes per mile. Uh think about seven minutes per mile
is a pretty good clip.
Speaker 1 (48:07):
It's pretty fast, I would say. So it's a lot
of jiggly bits. Well that's what I was thinking, that
that's a good run when you're you know, hanging out jingly, jangling.
I mean, are people wearing tape? What are they doing?
Speaker 2 (48:21):
And it's and also I mean, what if they're just
taping their balls over their dick to their stomach?
Speaker 1 (48:27):
Is that what they're doing? Also, I have balls and
ding dongs are one thing, but boobs ample buzzum is
not easy to run if you you know, is it
just two things of tape over like crossed over the chest?
What is happening here? And why hold it?
Speaker 2 (48:44):
Don't we want clothes? Why don't we want clothes when
we run?
Speaker 1 (48:49):
I under what that chafing curt The chafings would slows
you down from your record time? I guess so.
Speaker 2 (48:55):
But the jiggling, the jiggling baby.
Speaker 1 (48:58):
There, I think it's genetic. Some people love being naked
in a way that is inexplicable to me. I mean
we've talked about in the pop before. I mean, as
young men in New York, the number of shows that
were naked, comics naked, and prop shows naked. I saw
Equis or whatever that play was, and it was nudity,
and everyboy thought it was this great, big deal. Then
I watched, I'm like, yes, it's fine. I saw a
(49:19):
play called Metamorphosis that had nudity in it New York,
and I was like, didn't need it, didn't I anything.
Speaker 2 (49:25):
I've always been a fan of nudity, of being nude,
and I think, but it's gotten I've gotten less.
Speaker 1 (49:33):
I've gotten less nude in my old age.
Speaker 2 (49:35):
But I remember once and I think I told this
story I don't know on like the third Bananas.
Speaker 1 (49:40):
Yeah, But I was dating a woman. She had a friend.
Speaker 2 (49:45):
She kind of half lived upstate, half lived down in
Brooklyn with GONI. She had friends who I didn't know
very well, and we were driving to a party and
then we're coming back from the party but there wasn't
enough room the car and I was like, I'll ride
in the trunk. So I said I'll ride in the
trunk because I kind of like riding in trunks, especially
(50:08):
back when I was a teenager, and and so I
get in there, are you sure? And I was like, yeah,
I really don't mind it. It's it's more comfortable for
me than being like crammed up in a tiny car
on somebody's.
Speaker 1 (50:19):
Last foot four. You're a big guy.
Speaker 2 (50:22):
So I just while driving back, it was a little tipsy,
and I just thought it would be really funny if
I got fully undressed in the trunk, like I went
in fully clothed, and then it's kind of hard to
get out of your clothes in a trunk. There's a
trunk of a Honda, you know, small car. But I
(50:42):
managed to get out of all my clothes and then
it's like another twenty minutes until the house, and that's
enough time for me to get a little worried that
maybe I don't know these people that well. They're my
girlfriend's friends, and so what they originally I was going
to do is they would just like pop the trunk
and I'd be there like ah. But instead, you can
(51:03):
all trunks, and if you don't ride in trunks often
you might not know this, but they all have a
little latch that you can pop from the inside so
that people can't.
Speaker 1 (51:11):
Trap you in the gym. Yes, that's right.
Speaker 2 (51:13):
So they pull up, they stop, I pop the trunk
myself and then just start running to try and like
get away because my plan has become too weird for
even me. But instead I run, I run in front
of the car, likes in order to get to the house,
I have to run in front of the car, and
like the high beams are on beautiful, so they didn't
(51:36):
even know I had gotten out of the trunk. So
all they see is they pull up to a house
that they haven't been to in a couple hours, and
then just streaking across their high beams is just like
the whitest, tallest thing they've ever seen in their life,
just jiggly bits the whole way. Yeah, and people screamed
inside the car. They were surprised because they didn't think
(51:58):
I'd gotten out.
Speaker 1 (52:00):
They didn't. They thought it was somebody else. It's a
great joke. It was perfect execution. Yeah. I think you
nailed it. And I think if you're going to ride
in the trunk and pop out at a party of strangers,
you might as well do it. I mean, go for it.
You only live once.
Speaker 2 (52:12):
