Speaker 1 (00:04):
You love to laught. That's one thing I do know
about you. You've been a mystery to me for our
entire friendship, but I do know that you love to last.
Report reveals which cars are most likely to get pooped
on by birds.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
What Yes, we did it? Oh my god. That's right, folks.
It's the target of your affection. Bananas, bananas. Would you
(00:43):
your lid resilient pieces?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Would you believe?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Guys?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Gals, Now, I'm by Aaron Palace. Welcome to Bananas.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Hi, Scottie, Heykurtie B. I'm Banana boy number two. That's
Kurt Brown Older. This is the number one strange news
podcast somewhere.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
It is, I would say in the world. I don't
know of any others other than Dumb People Town, but
that's less strange and more dumb.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Dumb People Town. That is a good podcast. You've done
that podcast.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Right any times?
Speaker 3 (01:25):
That's great Disclore Brothers podcast.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
You guys should watch it.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Yeah, they're funny. Let's see if we have more reviews
than them. Hmmm, yes we do. Okay, We're the number
one strange news podcast in the world. This is bananas.
It's also about friendship. It's also about you know, just
being cool.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Yeah, hanging out. It's about being cool.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
It's about education. Come on, let's not let's not trick ourselves.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
We teach you guys all kinds of fun stuff. We
have a fun time doing it, and we respect each other.
And what else do you need in this world?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Else do you need in this world?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Hope everybody in the United States had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
I think this comes out before Thanksgiving or after one
of the two.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I don't know, after just right after. We're in like
December right now.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Why don't they do rotisseri turkey.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Because they too much? Because it's too too much bird.
That's what I think. I've given up on turkey. We know,
like we no longer do turkey. Yeah, just too dry.
We do a big, a big, big chicken, a.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Capon chickens better chickens, better chickens meat, don't.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Get me wrong. A turkey club. That is a classic sandwich.
I love look at.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Me, look at me saying I eat turkey. Yeah, like
that's the way. But that's that's reconstituted Turkey.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I feel like, right, yeah, I think they I think
they that down disgusting. They're so good and damn it's
good with life, mayonnaise. How you doing, dude? You having
fun living the dream?
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I'm living the dream. I have off today, which is
rare delight and it's uh, yeah, you know, we're deep
in Oh, this is what I was not prepared for.
Scotty moved and I don't know if this is the
East coast or if it's something in my house, right,
but the static electricity in the in the wintertime is
(03:34):
so I'm getting shocked all the time, like all the time,
like to the point where it hurts, and I'm like, ah,
And it's not like I have carpet or then I'm
like shuffling on carpet or anything. We have hardwood.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Radiator heat. What kind of heat you got, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Radiator heat. So I would think that that would make
the air. I always thought like that happened when it
was the air was super dry, but like it makes
the air kind of nice.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yeah. I mean when I was in Brooklyn, I would
put a pan of water on my pie pan of
water on my radiator every night, just because it would
get so dry, and then the morning would be empty
and that would just be my own little humidifier.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Oh I love that. I should do that.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
That's city living. But that's so strange. I wonder if
there's like something you could wear, like a wristband or
something that would write one of those weird copper sleeves
that all the former athletes are like, I don't have
knee pain anymore because I'm wearing this dumb kneoprene sleeve
with two pennies on the knee.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
It was got so bad that like we because we
Olive has had this, you know, like stupid fleece blanket
since she was like a very little kid, and she'd
always us.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Stupid, this stupid fleece blanket. My daughter doors so dumb.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
It was just meaning it wasn't like a particularly good blanket, right,
It was just like it had spaceships on it or whatever.
And that's why they got it when they were kids. Yes,
so it wasn't like this will keep you warm, but
it would spark. It would spark. The lights would be
off and she would move so good and it would
just blue sparks would be shooting all over it. And
(05:14):
I was like, oh my god, so I got rid
of that god or like a regular duvet. But it's
like I was just like that's when I started noticing, like,
oh man, we're getting shocked all the time. When there
was a blue sparks shooting onto my daughter.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I guess you know. I think that they say a
spontaneous human combustion can happen, and sometimes it's some combination
and then a spark like that like static, and then
you we've done a couple of stories on here about
people who produce alcohol, like their bodies produce alcohol. Yeah,
so you combine those two things and you got the
human torch real quick.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
And then there was a thing too. Do you remember
this where you like you shouldn't use your cell phone
while you're filling.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Up your gas tank.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I do remember that.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
And then like people would just explode.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
But did that ever happen. That feels like an urban legend. No.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I think it did happen a couple of times because
there was like something there was some electrical spark that
would happen when they would like flip your phone open
or something.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, made a connection.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Some people just have that, like those people that have
been struck by lightning the most multiple times. It's been
struck by lightning the most. There we go. It was
the first thing I put who has been and I
fin is struck by lightning the most?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Smoking?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
No, I'm not joking. I'm not smoking. Roy C. Sullivan,
an American park ranger, has been struck by lightning more
times than any other known person. Seven confirmed strikes.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Oh, but does he work on top of a mountain?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
First strike Kurt nineteen forty two. Strike occurred on fire
lookout tower. There it is burning his leg and foot
nineteen sixty nine. So that's a really long gap forty
two to sixty nine. So he probably was like, that's
never going to happen again. I struck while driving his truck,
knocked him unconscious, singed his eyebrows.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
While driving his truck. Was it up on a mountain?
That's what I questioned. It's going to be the same
question each time.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Continue.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
One year later, nineteen seventy, it starts speeding up. Struck
on his left shoulder while standing in his front yard.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Two years after that, No, No.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Roy, see Sullivan, the sea stands for crap. Uh, Roy,
lightning struck his range station again. His hair caught fire.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Oh my god, struck his cookie.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
So that's up. Probably that hit the building. Yeah. One
year after that, nineteen seventy three, he was hit again
while driving, cinched his hair. What. Nineteen seventy six he
was struck for a sixth time, injuring his ankle and
burning his hair. Nineteen seventy seven his last time. Sullivan
(07:57):
was struck for the seventh time, resulting in a sea
and another fire. I mean Roy Sullivan.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Is Roy Sullivan still alive?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
No, he passed away. He died in nineteen eighty.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Three from a shark attack.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Yeah, exactly, a shark attack at this ranger station. Wow,
it's an educational podcast. Indeed.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Oh my god, I saw something.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Very funny today.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Okay, I'm excited.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
You know, you and I are sympathetic guys. We want
the best for all of mankind and humanity, and we
would never poke fun ever at the homeless or the unhoused.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
No.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Today, I was parked at a red light and I
noticed something I hadn't seen before, which was can you
kind of picture a spray tann booth, like a portable
spray tanning booth. It's probably not unlike something you've seen
some each change in a wetsuit in and out of
It's kind of like a tent. It's about six or
seven feet tall and it zips up.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
But why is it?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Why is it portable? Why does people need to be
applying spray tan outside of a structure.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Well, I'm not going to name names or shows, but
there's one very famous TV show creator who famously would
walk through his writer's rooms, get a spray tan right
next to the writer's room, and then come back into
the room fully spray tand and start listening to pitch jokes. Yeah.
(09:34):
So the reason I know what it looks like is
way back in the day, I did a On the
Street show for E and there's a comedian named Sarah Tiana.
She's very funny. We should probably have her all the bananas.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
And we went to a bodybuilding Sara Tiana on No,
we should.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
She's very funny.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
She was such a good sport as a field correspondent.
We went to a bodybuilding expo at the Convention Center
downtown and so you know, it's people, there's a competition,
but then it's also people saying way and protein. But
a big part of that is bronzing and tanning, and
so Sarah got spray tanned on TV in one of
these portable That's the only reason I know exactly what
these things are, right. So I'm sitting there in the
(10:15):
red light and I'm like, that's weird. And then just
forty something unhoused, man fully closed, ye hair, a little
wild okay on zips steps out, arms in the air,
just a big old stretch like a real vict and
then just walks down the sidewalk like nothing happened. I
(10:37):
looked inside. There was nobody else in there. So I
was just trying to figure out what great event did
that guy have going on inside that spray tanning vertical.
You can't lay down on it. It's like two feet TV.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
And it wasn't toilet in there, Nope, just hello worlds
back out here to I just like to think he
was just conquered a little victory in there.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I like Rocky Balboa, arms in the air, just walks
out of there, just heads right down the sidewalk, and
I'm like, all right, man, a little wine. We all
need a little is it just.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Is it a little drug taking enclosure?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I'm not passing judgment maybe he finally finished a book,
Finnigan's Wake. He was in there for fourteen years reading
Finnigan's Way. Oh man, it was so funny though. It
was just those surreal things you see sometimes you're like, man,
he's having a better time right now than I am.
(11:35):
It's been rainy out here.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
I tell you, Did I tell you?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I think I did tell you. No, I already told you.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I told you that we're going to go. We get
to watch the Macy's Day parade.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Yes, yeah, that's great. When is that this weekend? Or
is it on Thanksgiving?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
It's on Thanksgiving Thanksgiving morning.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, gobble gobble. Brittany sent this in Thank you, Brittany.

most likely get pooped on by birds.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
This is I mean sometimes when scientists are out there,
they're doing the work.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (12:16):
This is I don't even know how you would imagine
and create a study to figure this out, and I'm
so excited to hear about it.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
This was in Gizmoto, written by Gay Young Lee Best
in the Biz. Good for you, Gay Youngly. Birds poop
for very scientific and evolutionary reasons. That said, the beauty
of science, Well, I can think we.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
All poop for very scientific and evolutionary reasons.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I agree. It's a big part of how I get
rid of the waste in my body. It's one of
the two.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
It's an evolutionary reason.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Once a year, I really go for it inside.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
You remember that idea where it was like a world
where everyone farts on at the same moment on the
same day. That'd be great, Like for for the year,
all of their farts for a year just come out
at the same moment. So it's like, probably I don't know,
it's probably like a couple days long and everyone's doing
it at the same time.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I would what a great festival that would be. The
world needs it. Yeah, it's like hands across the world
or America whatever Coca Cola tried to do. It's like
every just holds hands and just farts one day a year.
It's like the Perche. It's the original Perche. That said,
the beauty of science is difficult to appreciate what it
(13:37):
materializes as unwanted poops blotches on the hood of your car,
Gay Young Lee bringing.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
It bringing it poops blotches. That's what Gay Young Lee
decided to say.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Poop splotches. But there may be particular colors or driving
habits that might make your car more attractive to birds
looking for a great place to poop.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
It's interesting because I mean they have to control for
where it's parked.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
That's a big part of that.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
That's a big thing, right, because it's like, if you're
parked underneath a place where a lot of birds are
hanging out, let's go.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
You know that whole thing that old saying, like, well,
if everybody else was jumping off a bridge, would you
do that? This one lacrosse coach I had back like
he was, he's the best. He would say. His version was, hey,
landis you know that white stuff and bird poop? You
know what that is? And I said what, he goes,
that's bird shit too, And then that was his version.
(14:35):
So if I was goofing off and somebody else got
caught and he knew I was a part of it,
you know what that white stuff and bird poop is,
that's bird shit too. Nice guy, great leader of your
so fuddy. It's a great saying.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Though, Yeah, great saying.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Uh. He also would say, hey, you're tuned into WPOS radio,
You're worthless piece of shit. Yes, I sort of go.
I swear to God save guy w POS radio. Hey
you tuned into WPS radio. You were those Oh man,
it was a better time before phones had cameras or cameras,
(15:14):
headphones or whatever they do now. Earlier this month, Virginia
based company Allen's Factory Outlet published the Bird Dropping Report.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Wait Alan's Factory Outlet, I know yeah, wait wait wait
they published it. Wait, this is in science Allen's Factory Report.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
It is what.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Yeah, what's Allen's Factory Report.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
They build garages and car ports and eved roofs. It's
a gizmoto.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I don't trust this, trust it.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Yeah, they're just car ports. Yeah. They surveyed one thousand drivers,
uh with their experience dealing with bird poop on the cars.
The report combined survey responses with ornithology research, and its
conclusions reveal mix of expected and surprising insights into their
relationship between avion, avian bowel activity and vehicle appearance. Overall, yes, brown, red,
(16:11):
and black cars are the most likely to get pooped on.
Lighter colors white or silver or yellow tended to be
spared from bird poop.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I mean, this is not science.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
If you just don't see it as much on a
white and a silver and a yellow car, that's all
that is. It just shows up more so people are
just aware of it.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
More bullshit.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Around thirty percent said that birds had personally targeted their cars,
particular owners Lexus owners forty seven percent that birds had
personally targeted them because.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
They have a very expensive car and they're like so
mad when it gets pooped on, Like you don't give
a shit. If you have a Toyota Turtell and it
gets pooped on, you're like, yeah, of.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Course you don't see Turtell's anym. That's weird because Toyota's
last forever. What happened to the old Terceell I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
I think it was replaced by the Yarus.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
The what the Toyota Yaris?
Speaker 3 (17:10):
I think now there's a Toyota that's like the ubiquitous Toyota.
What's the every uber X It's a Toyota pre c Nope,
Corolla Corolla.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
That's where I drove the Corolla.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
I think replaced the Tursell.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I started with a Corolla and I'm going to end
with a Corolla. Those are great cars, let's see. Another
intriguing takeaway from the survey was that bird mess often
interfered with drivers daily routines. For example, six percent what
a huge number of participants canceled or delayed plans to
address splattershoes on their car? What those are lunatics? Those
(17:45):
people that just shows you been animals. Six percent of
the world are just have lost their marbles.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
The ape shit? Who cares if you have birches on
your car?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Where is?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Fourteen percent reported that they had been pooped on while
getting in or out of their car. Dealing with bird
poop can be a financial burden too. Fifty seven percent
admitted to paying for a car wash specifically to deal
with bird poop. Where's Thirty nine percent cited bird shit
as the reason for going to a car wash multiple
times a month.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Multiple times a month.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
You have a car wash membership, don't you gotti?
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Oh yeah I do, And it's been it's broken. So
what do you mean it's broken? I've been getting free
car washes for I don't know eight years, maybe what.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Like it just thinks that you still are paying yep,
and you just keep driving through. Is it like just
registers your place.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
The magnet strip. The one issue that happened is the cost.
So I used to get the like Supreme fire wax,
yeah whatever, lava, the lava. I used to get the
lava tier, which used to be twelve or fourteen dollars.
Now that's like the second that's like the Supreme, so
it's like tier two of four. So but yeah, I
(19:06):
drive up to one over near my old place and
it says thank you have a nice day, please pull exactly.
It's the one I used to It's a pretty good one.
Ye yeah, yeah. You can always tell when people have
used that one because they have the blue tape on
the rear window.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
On the yeah, the windshield wiper.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah. When I the first car I bought when I
moved out here was a used Jetta station Wagon. I
had a diesel ted Jetta station Wagon and I took
it through that car wash and it knocked the clip
off the back of the rear window, a winche wiper.
So what I didn't know was that was the sprayer
for the and so my car if I hit the
(19:46):
rear sprayer would spray a stream of windshield washing fluid
about twenty five feet backwards, so the car behind me safe.
The car behind that car would get hit with this
steady stream long as I had any in there. So
did I get it fixed? Of course I didn't get
it fixed. If somebody honked, I would just do that
(20:07):
spray there, which.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
It was really like you were the James Bond.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
It would be the funniest part is it had just
enough arc, like just enough to art over the car
behind me and hit the one behind that unless it
was like a ups truck or something. And so yeah,
somebody gave me a little toot when the lake turned green,
I would give them a little squirt and just pull away.
And I only fixed it. I ended up taking that
to CarMax, and I just wanted to get the most money.
(20:35):
And I don't know if you know this about car Max.
They just walk around the exterior car and then look
at the interier in the odometer. They don't even turn
it on.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Carvon came and the Carbana was the exact same. Carvana
like offered me more than my car was worth. And
then they came I had dents. It was filthy inside.
It was all kinds of fucked up. And then the
check was already written and it was already signed. They
just looked at the car and then handed me a check.
I was like, this is a amazing.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Yeah, they'll be out of business in two or three years.
Birds see colors differently than humans do, an extra cone
in their eyes that allows them to detect ultraviolet light.
So it might be that brown, red, and black appear
more attractor to birds, a tendency that has been explored
by ornithologists before. If you've ever felt like your car
(21:23):
is a magnet for bird droppings, you might not be wrong.
The report stated, science suggests there may be more behind
the mess than just bad luck.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
So whether this is real or not, yeah, the takeaway
is brown, red, and black cars get hit more, and.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Thank you scientists. A Burlington code fact. Last time you
were in a Burlington co fact?
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I was just trying to think that there's.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
One near my house now and that was probably pretty nice.
And I haven't gone in because I can't. I don't
think I've ever been in out of Burlington coat factory
because I know they don't just have coats, right, or
they do, they only have coats.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
They I think I have some other stuff, but they
mostly have coats. I've definitely been in them.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
You know me, like, coats are my main thing. I
don't buy almost anything, but I will.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Buy lots of coats. I love a jacket. I love
a coat.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
But this goes back to, you know, like when when
the when Amazon and the and the big delivery companies
came in and took over, and then all these brick
and mortars, the Burlington coat factories of the world. I
don't I'm not a law man, Curt. I don't make law.
I don't make laws up.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
No, no, it does not. Guys, if you thought I did, yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Full you dumb full. I am not a law man.
I don't like a man. Everybody Burlington coat Factory.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
He is a landman.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Is that the Is that the Billy Bob Thornton Show?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yeah? It is land Man, right, I bet it's really good.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
It actually kind of good. I looked at the trailer
for season two and I was like, I probably would
watch this.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
It's just guys talking tough, and then they have extremely
attractive ex wives and daughters. That seems to be the
tail of shared in Model Burlington Coat Factory is a
prime example. Why wouldn't you, if you own Burlington Coat
Factory in the back of your business, like the backwall,
build a giant Arctic themed bar. It doesn't have to
(23:30):
be cold, just has to look like an Arctic winter wonderland.
Maybe you have a fake Saint Bernard that barks hello
when you walk up to it, and you can put
your coat on, and you can have a beer and
you can see how it feels, and then you can
go get another coat and try that on. Mm hm,
what is with these bone heads?
Speaker 3 (23:49):
I know it's probably expensive to run an arctic bar
in this summertime.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
I don't know, there's no there's no way of telling.
But I'm just saying if they ever file for Chapter
eleven bankruptcy, and I'm the law man, but I will,
but I will say I would.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Go still confused as to why being a lawman has
anything to do with your great business idea.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
I just I don't know. You would make it.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
You would make it that it would be illegal to
not have that. Is that what you're talking about?
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Bingo? And on Fridays they'd have free bingo. If you
bought a jacket you had to play bingo. No. But
if I was at a mall, a shitty giant outdoor mall,
you know, you got your Dick Sporting Goods, you got
your Marshals. But then you're like, you know what, they
have a pretty nice bar in the back of that
Burlington coat factory.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Vermont themed.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Yeah, exactly, so you got a little a little snow
on the on the pine trees in there.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Yeah, you say nestle In, say Lauren, you take the kids,
you go over to Discovery Zone. I'm gonna go just
chiy a couple of coats on, you drink a quick beer,
and a Vermont themeed bar in the back. You come
back out. The world is shining. I'm just saying.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
It is interesting. I bet you that's a lot of
money to have alcohol license. I bet you that is
the only reason that more stores don't have a bar
in the back of it.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
It would just do so great. Play it against sports?
Are you kidding me? All those broken dreams of being
a great athlete, and you're like, you got to sell
these ice skates? How about a Vodkatonic? How about a
Pina Colada.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Play it against sports is the last play, because that
is going to be a real dive in the back
of play it against sports. Yeah, it's past the bin
of Razor scooters, past the bin of Razor scooters and
the other bin of lacrosse sticks.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
I bet you get a little putt and green back there,
you take a little nibble and then that.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Is something you don't see. So now I see, I
see lacrosse sticks around. I see field hockey sticks around.
You just don't see those in la. You see wet suits,
you don't see lacrosse sticks.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Yeah, that's rights goals. Yes, yep, you got one for me, homeboy?
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Here?
Speaker 3 (26:11):
It is Kelly the Sassy Dolphin?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Is that it? That's good?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (26:22):
This is in Hakai magazine written by Rose evelyth Okay,
thank you evelyth uh. The Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas
and is an imposing place. It sits just north of
downtown Nasau, capital the Bahamas, on its own little stretch
of sand dubbed Paradise Island. The main building has two
high towers over twenty stories, each connected to this top
(26:44):
by a broad arched walkway that's dotted with giant Why
do we need to know this?
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Don't need to know it.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I'm going to read until yeah, just have a.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Nice read over there. I'll be in the back of
a Burlington cone factory drinking a mud slide.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
I mean, it's just all about Atlantis. What is going on?
All right?
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Here? It is after two full paragraphs describing the physical
structure of Atlantis. I'm in Atlantis on a warm Monday
in June to see one of the dolphins, a forty
four year old female named Kelly. When I arrive at
Dolphin K, the sun is finally banishing the last of
some storm clouds, and Kelly is across the far side
of the pool doing what's called a shallow water interaction
(27:23):
with guests. From ground level, Dolphin K looks like one
big space.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Beneath the water.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
There are gates and pens keeping the dolphins separated from
the guests and one another. When it's same time to shine,
a set of dolphins is released into the large area
that leads up to the beach. The guests, all in
matching Atlanta's wetsuits provided for the occasion. This is this
is an ad for Atlantis.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Jesus Christ is Atlantis. The Bahamas Club? Is that?
Speaker 3 (27:47):
What is the one?
Speaker 1 (27:48):
It's the one?
Speaker 6 (27:48):
Where it's just like a water park where horny, single,
middle aged people interact with endless families that are eating
all you can eat chicken fingers in a yeah lazy.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Yes, all right, well listen, this is the I'm not
even this is I'm sorry I picked the wrong article.
I here is what the deal is is. So, uh,
Kelly was trained to if she would pick up trash
around the area, she would get a treat for the trash.
(28:25):
And so she did it a couple of times and
uh bring back. And then she then she would find trash,
bring it, hide it underneath a rock, and then just
break off little pieces of trash and bring the little
pieces out of time so she'd get as many treats
as possible.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Right, Yeah, it's like my uncle Tippy. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Now, so do you have you ever read the the
the Madeleine Madeleine you a little girl book, school Girl?
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Yeah, so the for this one's about her getting her
tonsils out, and then the next one is about she
falls into the sein and a dog rescues her, right, yes,
and then the dog becomes like their best bud.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Right yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
So this was like a thing back in the twenties
in Paris because a baby fell in and this dog
rescued the baby and so then he was like harolded
and that's what inspired the book and all that sort
of stuff. So then and then the dog got like
a steak. Wait, I think we actually did this one.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
We did. We got a sausage. Sausage.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
We would know he would get a beef steak, that
was what it was called.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
And then he would just start pushing people back a
kids into the rescue.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
He would push children into the seid and then rescue
them to get a beef steak. And it was just
a rash of children almost droughteding of the said and
then this dog rescuing them and they didn't realize it
for like like a couple months where this kid, this
dog was just finding kids, pushing them in and then
(30:03):
pulling them out again for a treat.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Oh that is so good. I mean that's like also
we got sent this one a lot. I think Lisa
might have posted it on our Instagram, but that the
loves Us words just so good.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
The fact that it was just like a cherry picker
that they used, and like there's just footage of them
slowly being lowered in the in the cherry picker.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Yes, you would think sometimes. I mean maybe people just
if you're just a certain way, people assume you're somebody
that's doing what they're supposed to be.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
I put up a sign in La. It was underneath
the stop sign it says stop, and then underneath it
says no, you stop. And it was like the same
size as the stop sign. It was the stop sign size.
And I just put on a remember that reflective vest.
Nobody bothered me. I was there for like an hour,
like really attaching it.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
My buddy Russ bought a twelve inch disco ball back
in probably nineteen ninety eight, and he would just go
to any nightclub or any party or any event and
say I'm here with the DJ holding disco ball and
walk into the park. There'd go okay, no, yeah. He
did it for he just like did it endlessly because
I've tried to. I was like, what a do you
have a disco ball? And he goes, scooter, It's the
(31:22):
smartest idea I've ever had, and and he was like,
I got an that guy.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
The guy who calls you a scooter, oh man, and
he's got as he's uh, he's Southern.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Yeah, he's the best. He's a true cooky. He's like,
don't she hate paying taxes? I go, yeah, why we're
driving down the highway. He's driving his car. He uh,
he had left his the back of his suv open
enough where when he pushed something at automatically open going
down the highway. Then he rolled down all the windows
(31:56):
and blew all the trash out of his car. It
went out the back of the car on the highway.
I'm already paying the taxes. Let's get him something to
clean up. And he's just going sixty five miles an hour,
letting wind blow school papers hard, these bags, empty cups,
and I'm like, this is a different kind of guy. Yeah. Yes,
(32:16):
he carried He bought a disco ball and he would
show up and tell security I'm here with the DJ
and they would just instantly let him in and then
he would hide it under a coat and hang out
and then leave at the end of the night.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Oh my god, it's brilliant.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
It. Yeah, there's a there's a simp. There's a there's
a dumb kind of smart out there that really can
get away with anything. If you're confident exactly.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I think you pressed though I do think you cress
with that type of personality and then you start heading
down hill later in life.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Yeah, yes, he's still doing great. He's still doing very well.
And I ran into him and he's still still there.
I was on it when I went down to Naples
a few years ago. I was like, dude, I'm driving
through golf breeze.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
A black bear just came out of the ocean the
day I was there. And he goes, right now. Yeah,
he goes, wear are you right now? And I was like,
I'm heading to Naples. I'm wherever. I was probably making
the turn around Tallahassee and he goes, I live and
it was like whatever, beach And I went and met
his wife, daughter and his mom who I knew from
back in the day too, and had lunch and his
(33:25):
mom goes this wild time it pretty well. She goes,
are people in LA still drinking bud Lights? And I go,
h no, and she goes, really, I go. But they
weren't to begin with, like there was one guy that
was if anyone was protesting bud light, it was like
one guy that's like, all right, give me a Michelobaltra.
(33:48):
Nobody out here drinks bud.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Light, Miller Light.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Yeah, sure, I'm a silver bullet guy.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
That's so surprising to me.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Well, because I was.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
When I was always a kid, everyone was I can't
drink cores. Can't drink Cores. Why oh they donated to
the National Front in the eighties. In the eighties it
was a big, real, like neo Nazi thing going on
at cores.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Oh, then I'm out, I don't do that.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
I mean it was thirty fifty years ago.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
You tell me which beer most supports trans writes and
most supports non white people, and I will drink I
will drink a beer called non white beer. And if
every dollar goes to anything but white people, that would
be my number one favorite beer. Actually, that's a weird
not even a segue. So last week I went to
(34:40):
a thing called lectures on Tap. Have you ever heard
of this?
Speaker 3 (34:43):
No? Oh, I think, so where you drink beer and
you listen to like a smart person talk.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Like a ted talk. Yeah. Yes, So I went to one.
My buddy Cauled, young, great dude, aussy buddy of mine.
I think he listens to pod What's up all? He
was like, Hey, do you want to go this? They're
normally industry chats and stuff because it's ala, but this
one is on the dignity and economy of boxing. Okay,
classic boxing. And this professor from Loyola Marymount who's his
(35:12):
name is doctor Rudy Malm Dragon. He's a really cool
La Latino dude who loved boxing from an early age,
and he studies the levels the discipline, how they're not union,
how there's no national minimal payment. And he gave this
whole hour presentation while we drank really good beers at
Boomtown Brewery, great brewery, and it was fucking awesome. Oh wow,
(35:37):
I learned so much. It's a fair it's as tragic
as you think, but also it gives agency. It gives
an opportunity for different cultures to express themselves, like the
way he specializes in, like the walkins. So when you
leave the locker room and you go to the ring,
like the music you play, what you wear, he was
around you. It's a chance for these marginalized groups to
(36:00):
fully express themselves and to be celebrated. Yeah, awesome, it
was so good and was packed. It was a rainy night,
was packed. And afterwards Paul and I were chatting and
I said to them. Something you and I have talked
about on the pod before that if you and I
could go back to college, we would get straight a's.
We would read every single reading, we would listen to
(36:22):
every single lecture. It's crazy that when you're young, you
just kind of get by, and then you get older
and you're like, so I can learn about things I'm
interested in and from somebody who really knows what they're
talking about. So I'm going to just go to every
lectures on tap I can from here on out.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
That's awesome.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
I would love to go back to school me too,
just for fun, you know, like I don't need to
get like a thing. I would just like to go
take classes. To take a philosophy class again, would be
so amazing.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
I'm teaching a class on December sixth at the UCB
how to pitch movies, Class A one off. Our good
friend Rachel Olson is doing all the curating all the
shows there now, and she's like, would you ever want
to teach pitching movies? I said, hell, yeah, So if
you live in LA and you want to learn how
to pitch movies, I'm doing it. I think it's on
a Saturday It'll probably be only about eighty minutes. I'm
(37:15):
going to teach you exactly how I pitch movies.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
That's awesome, right on.

December right now.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Why don't they do rotisseri turkey.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Because they too much? Because it's too too much bird.
That's what I think. I've given up on turkey. We know,
like we no longer do turkey. Yeah, just too dry.
We do a big, a big, big chicken, a.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Capon chickens better chickens, better chickens meat, don't.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Get me wrong. A turkey club. That is a classic sandwich.
I love look at.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Me, look at me saying I eat turkey. Yeah, like
that's the way. But that's that's reconstituted Turkey.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I feel like, right, yeah, I think they I think
they that down disgusting. They're so good and damn it's
good with life, mayonnaise. How you doing, dude? You having
fun living the dream?
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I'm living the dream. I have off today, which is
rare delight and it's uh, yeah, you know, we're deep
in Oh, this is what I was not prepared for.
Scotty moved and I don't know if this is the
East coast or if it's something in my house, right,
but the static electricity in the in the wintertime is
(03:34):
so I'm getting shocked all the time, like all the time,
like to the point where it hurts, and I'm like, ah,
And it's not like I have carpet or then I'm
like shuffling on carpet or anything. We have hardwood.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Radiator heat. What kind of heat you got, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Radiator heat. So I would think that that would make
the air. I always thought like that happened when it
was the air was super dry, but like it makes
the air kind of nice.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yeah. I mean when I was in Brooklyn, I would
put a pan of water on my pie pan of
water on my radiator every night, just because it would
get so dry, and then the morning would be empty
and that would just be my own little humidifier.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Oh I love that. I should do that.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
That's city living. But that's so strange. I wonder if
there's like something you could wear, like a wristband or
something that would write one of those weird copper sleeves
that all the former athletes are like, I don't have
knee pain anymore because I'm wearing this dumb kneoprene sleeve
with two pennies on the knee.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
It was got so bad that like we because we
Olive has had this, you know, like stupid fleece blanket
since she was like a very little kid, and she'd
always us.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Stupid, this stupid fleece blanket. My daughter doors so dumb.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
It was just meaning it wasn't like a particularly good blanket, right,
It was just like it had spaceships on it or whatever.
And that's why they got it when they were kids. Yes,
so it wasn't like this will keep you warm, but
it would spark. It would spark. The lights would be
off and she would move so good and it would
just blue sparks would be shooting all over it. And
(05:14):
I was like, oh my god, so I got rid
of that god or like a regular duvet. But it's
like I was just like that's when I started noticing, like,
oh man, we're getting shocked all the time. When there
was a blue sparks shooting onto my daughter.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I guess you know. I think that they say a
spontaneous human combustion can happen, and sometimes it's some combination
and then a spark like that like static, and then
you we've done a couple of stories on here about
people who produce alcohol, like their bodies produce alcohol. Yeah,
so you combine those two things and you got the
human torch real quick.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
And then there was a thing too. Do you remember
this where you like you shouldn't use your cell phone
while you're filling.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Up your gas tank.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I do remember that.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
And then like people would just explode.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
But did that ever happen. That feels like an urban legend. No.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I think it did happen a couple of times because
there was like something there was some electrical spark that
would happen when they would like flip your phone open
or something.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, made a connection.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Some people just have that, like those people that have
been struck by lightning the most multiple times. It's been
struck by lightning the most. There we go. It was
the first thing I put who has been and I
fin is struck by lightning the most?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Smoking?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
No, I'm not joking. I'm not smoking. Roy C. Sullivan,
an American park ranger, has been struck by lightning more
times than any other known person. Seven confirmed strikes.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Oh, but does he work on top of a mountain?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
First strike Kurt nineteen forty two. Strike occurred on fire
lookout tower. There it is burning his leg and foot
nineteen sixty nine. So that's a really long gap forty
two to sixty nine. So he probably was like, that's
never going to happen again. I struck while driving his truck,
knocked him unconscious, singed his eyebrows.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
While driving his truck. Was it up on a mountain?
That's what I questioned. It's going to be the same
question each time.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Continue.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
One year later, nineteen seventy, it starts speeding up. Struck
on his left shoulder while standing in his front yard.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Two years after that, No, No.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Roy, see Sullivan, the sea stands for crap. Uh, Roy,
lightning struck his range station again. His hair caught fire.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Oh my god, struck his cookie.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
So that's up. Probably that hit the building. Yeah. One
year after that, nineteen seventy three, he was hit again
while driving, cinched his hair. What. Nineteen seventy six he
was struck for a sixth time, injuring his ankle and
burning his hair. Nineteen seventy seven his last time. Sullivan
(07:57):
was struck for the seventh time, resulting in a sea
and another fire. I mean Roy Sullivan.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Is Roy Sullivan still alive?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
No, he passed away. He died in nineteen eighty.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Three from a shark attack.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Yeah, exactly, a shark attack at this ranger station. Wow,
it's an educational podcast. Indeed.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Oh my god, I saw something.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Very funny today.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Okay, I'm excited.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
You know, you and I are sympathetic guys. We want
the best for all of mankind and humanity, and we
would never poke fun ever at the homeless or the unhoused.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
No.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Today, I was parked at a red light and I
noticed something I hadn't seen before, which was can you
kind of picture a spray tann booth, like a portable
spray tanning booth. It's probably not unlike something you've seen
some each change in a wetsuit in and out of
It's kind of like a tent. It's about six or
seven feet tall and it zips up.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
But why is it?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Why is it portable? Why does people need to be
applying spray tan outside of a structure.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Well, I'm not going to name names or shows, but
there's one very famous TV show creator who famously would
walk through his writer's rooms, get a spray tan right
next to the writer's room, and then come back into
the room fully spray tand and start listening to pitch jokes. Yeah.
(09:34):
So the reason I know what it looks like is
way back in the day, I did a On the
Street show for E and there's a comedian named Sarah Tiana.
She's very funny. We should probably have her all the bananas.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
And we went to a bodybuilding Sara Tiana on No,
we should.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
She's very funny.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
She was such a good sport as a field correspondent.
We went to a bodybuilding expo at the Convention Center
downtown and so you know, it's people, there's a competition,
but then it's also people saying way and protein. But
a big part of that is bronzing and tanning, and
so Sarah got spray tanned on TV in one of
these portable That's the only reason I know exactly what
these things are, right. So I'm sitting there in the
(10:15):
red light and I'm like, that's weird. And then just
forty something unhoused, man fully closed, ye hair, a little
wild okay on zips steps out, arms in the air,
just a big old stretch like a real vict and
then just walks down the sidewalk like nothing happened. I
(10:37):
looked inside. There was nobody else in there. So I
was just trying to figure out what great event did
that guy have going on inside that spray tanning vertical.
You can't lay down on it. It's like two feet TV.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
And it wasn't toilet in there, Nope, just hello worlds
back out here to I just like to think he
was just conquered a little victory in there.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I like Rocky Balboa, arms in the air, just walks
out of there, just heads right down the sidewalk, and
I'm like, all right, man, a little wine. We all
need a little is it just.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Is it a little drug taking enclosure?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I'm not passing judgment maybe he finally finished a book,
Finnigan's Wake. He was in there for fourteen years reading
Finnigan's Way. Oh man, it was so funny though. It
was just those surreal things you see sometimes you're like, man,
he's having a better time right now than I am.
(11:35):
It's been rainy out here.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
I tell you, Did I tell you?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I think I did tell you. No, I already told you.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I told you that we're going to go. We get
to watch the Macy's Day parade.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Yes, yeah, that's great. When is that this weekend? Or
is it on Thanksgiving?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
It's on Thanksgiving Thanksgiving morning.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, gobble gobble. Brittany sent this in Thank you, Brittany.
You can send your stories to Banana Boys on Instagram

most likely get pooped on by birds.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
This is I mean sometimes when scientists are out there,
they're doing the work.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (12:16):
This is I don't even know how you would imagine
and create a study to figure this out, and I'm
so excited to hear about it.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
This was in Gizmoto, written by Gay Young Lee Best
in the Biz. Good for you, Gay Youngly. Birds poop
for very scientific and evolutionary reasons. That said, the beauty
of science, Well, I can think we.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
All poop for very scientific and evolutionary reasons.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I agree. It's a big part of how I get
rid of the waste in my body. It's one of
the two.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
It's an evolutionary reason.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Once a year, I really go for it inside.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
You remember that idea where it was like a world
where everyone farts on at the same moment on the
same day. That'd be great, Like for for the year,
all of their farts for a year just come out
at the same moment. So it's like, probably I don't know,
it's probably like a couple days long and everyone's doing
it at the same time.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I would what a great festival that would be. The
world needs it. Yeah, it's like hands across the world
or America whatever Coca Cola tried to do. It's like
every just holds hands and just farts one day a year.
It's like the Perche. It's the original Perche. That said,
the beauty of science is difficult to appreciate what it
(13:37):
materializes as unwanted poops blotches on the hood of your car,
Gay Young Lee bringing.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
It bringing it poops blotches. That's what Gay Young Lee
decided to say.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Poop splotches. But there may be particular colors or driving
habits that might make your car more attractive to birds
looking for a great place to poop.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
It's interesting because I mean they have to control for
where it's parked.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
That's a big part of that.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
That's a big thing, right, because it's like, if you're
parked underneath a place where a lot of birds are
hanging out, let's go.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
You know that whole thing that old saying, like, well,
if everybody else was jumping off a bridge, would you
do that? This one lacrosse coach I had back like
he was, he's the best. He would say. His version was, hey,
landis you know that white stuff and bird poop? You
know what that is? And I said what, he goes,
that's bird shit too, And then that was his version.
(14:35):
So if I was goofing off and somebody else got
caught and he knew I was a part of it,
you know what that white stuff and bird poop is,
that's bird shit too. Nice guy, great leader of your
so fuddy. It's a great saying.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Though, Yeah, great saying.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Uh. He also would say, hey, you're tuned into WPOS radio,
You're worthless piece of shit. Yes, I sort of go.
I swear to God save guy w POS radio. Hey
you tuned into WPS radio. You were those Oh man,
it was a better time before phones had cameras or cameras,
(15:14):
headphones or whatever they do now. Earlier this month, Virginia
based company Allen's Factory Outlet published the Bird Dropping Report.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Wait Alan's Factory Outlet, I know yeah, wait wait wait
they published it. Wait, this is in science Allen's Factory Report.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
It is what.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Yeah, what's Allen's Factory Report.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
They build garages and car ports and eved roofs. It's
a gizmoto.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I don't trust this, trust it.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Yeah, they're just car ports. Yeah. They surveyed one thousand drivers,
uh with their experience dealing with bird poop on the cars.
The report combined survey responses with ornithology research, and its
conclusions reveal mix of expected and surprising insights into their
relationship between avion, avian bowel activity and vehicle appearance. Overall, yes, brown, red,
(16:11):
and black cars are the most likely to get pooped on.
Lighter colors white or silver or yellow tended to be
spared from bird poop.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I mean, this is not science.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
If you just don't see it as much on a
white and a silver and a yellow car, that's all
that is. It just shows up more so people are
just aware of it.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
More bullshit.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Around thirty percent said that birds had personally targeted their cars,
particular owners Lexus owners forty seven percent that birds had
personally targeted them because.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
They have a very expensive car and they're like so
mad when it gets pooped on, Like you don't give
a shit. If you have a Toyota Turtell and it
gets pooped on, you're like, yeah, of.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Course you don't see Turtell's anym. That's weird because Toyota's
last forever. What happened to the old Terceell I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
I think it was replaced by the Yarus.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
The what the Toyota Yaris?
Speaker 3 (17:10):
I think now there's a Toyota that's like the ubiquitous Toyota.
What's the every uber X It's a Toyota pre c Nope,
Corolla Corolla.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
That's where I drove the Corolla.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
I think replaced the Tursell.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I started with a Corolla and I'm going to end
with a Corolla. Those are great cars, let's see. Another
intriguing takeaway from the survey was that bird mess often
interfered with drivers daily routines. For example, six percent what
a huge number of participants canceled or delayed plans to
address splattershoes on their car? What those are lunatics? Those
(17:45):
people that just shows you been animals. Six percent of
the world are just have lost their marbles.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
The ape shit? Who cares if you have birches on
your car?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Where is?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Fourteen percent reported that they had been pooped on while
getting in or out of their car. Dealing with bird
poop can be a financial burden too. Fifty seven percent
admitted to paying for a car wash specifically to deal
with bird poop. Where's Thirty nine percent cited bird shit
as the reason for going to a car wash multiple
times a month.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Multiple times a month.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
You have a car wash membership, don't you gotti?
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Oh yeah I do, And it's been it's broken. So
what do you mean it's broken? I've been getting free
car washes for I don't know eight years, maybe what.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Like it just thinks that you still are paying yep,
and you just keep driving through. Is it like just
registers your place.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
The magnet strip. The one issue that happened is the cost.
So I used to get the like Supreme fire wax,
yeah whatever, lava, the lava. I used to get the
lava tier, which used to be twelve or fourteen dollars.
Now that's like the second that's like the Supreme, so
it's like tier two of four. So but yeah, I
(19:06):
drive up to one over near my old place and
it says thank you have a nice day, please pull exactly.
It's the one I used to It's a pretty good one.
Ye yeah, yeah. You can always tell when people have
used that one because they have the blue tape on
the rear window.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
On the yeah, the windshield wiper.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah. When I the first car I bought when I
moved out here was a used Jetta station Wagon. I
had a diesel ted Jetta station Wagon and I took
it through that car wash and it knocked the clip
off the back of the rear window, a winche wiper.
So what I didn't know was that was the sprayer
for the and so my car if I hit the
(19:46):
rear sprayer would spray a stream of windshield washing fluid
about twenty five feet backwards, so the car behind me safe.
The car behind that car would get hit with this
steady stream long as I had any in there. So
did I get it fixed? Of course I didn't get
it fixed. If somebody honked, I would just do that
(20:07):
spray there, which.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
It was really like you were the James Bond.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
It would be the funniest part is it had just
enough arc, like just enough to art over the car
behind me and hit the one behind that unless it
was like a ups truck or something. And so yeah,
somebody gave me a little toot when the lake turned green,
I would give them a little squirt and just pull away.
And I only fixed it. I ended up taking that
to CarMax, and I just wanted to get the most money.
(20:35):
And I don't know if you know this about car Max.
They just walk around the exterior car and then look
at the interier in the odometer. They don't even turn
it on.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Carvon came and the Carbana was the exact same. Carvana
like offered me more than my car was worth. And
then they came I had dents. It was filthy inside.
It was all kinds of fucked up. And then the
check was already written and it was already signed. They
just looked at the car and then handed me a check.
I was like, this is a amazing.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Yeah, they'll be out of business in two or three years.
Birds see colors differently than humans do, an extra cone
in their eyes that allows them to detect ultraviolet light.
So it might be that brown, red, and black appear
more attractor to birds, a tendency that has been explored
by ornithologists before. If you've ever felt like your car
(21:23):
is a magnet for bird droppings, you might not be wrong.
The report stated, science suggests there may be more behind
the mess than just bad luck.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
So whether this is real or not, yeah, the takeaway
is brown, red, and black cars get hit more, and.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Thank you scientists. A Burlington code fact. Last time you
were in a Burlington co fact?
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I was just trying to think that there's.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
One near my house now and that was probably pretty nice.
And I haven't gone in because I can't. I don't
think I've ever been in out of Burlington coat factory
because I know they don't just have coats, right, or
they do, they only have coats.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
They I think I have some other stuff, but they
mostly have coats. I've definitely been in them.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
You know me, like, coats are my main thing. I
don't buy almost anything, but I will.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Buy lots of coats. I love a jacket. I love
a coat.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
But this goes back to, you know, like when when
the when Amazon and the and the big delivery companies
came in and took over, and then all these brick
and mortars, the Burlington coat factories of the world. I
don't I'm not a law man, Curt. I don't make law.
I don't make laws up.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
No, no, it does not. Guys, if you thought I did, yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Full you dumb full. I am not a law man.
I don't like a man. Everybody Burlington coat Factory.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
He is a landman.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Is that the Is that the Billy Bob Thornton Show?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yeah? It is land Man, right, I bet it's really good.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
It actually kind of good. I looked at the trailer
for season two and I was like, I probably would
watch this.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
It's just guys talking tough, and then they have extremely
attractive ex wives and daughters. That seems to be the
tail of shared in Model Burlington Coat Factory is a
prime example. Why wouldn't you, if you own Burlington Coat
Factory in the back of your business, like the backwall,
build a giant Arctic themed bar. It doesn't have to
(23:30):
be cold, just has to look like an Arctic winter wonderland.
Maybe you have a fake Saint Bernard that barks hello
when you walk up to it, and you can put
your coat on, and you can have a beer and
you can see how it feels, and then you can
go get another coat and try that on. Mm hm,
what is with these bone heads?
Speaker 3 (23:49):
I know it's probably expensive to run an arctic bar
in this summertime.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
I don't know, there's no there's no way of telling.
But I'm just saying if they ever file for Chapter
eleven bankruptcy, and I'm the law man, but I will,
but I will say I would.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Go still confused as to why being a lawman has
anything to do with your great business idea.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
I just I don't know. You would make it.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
You would make it that it would be illegal to
not have that. Is that what you're talking about?
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Bingo? And on Fridays they'd have free bingo. If you
bought a jacket you had to play bingo. No. But
if I was at a mall, a shitty giant outdoor mall,
you know, you got your Dick Sporting Goods, you got
your Marshals. But then you're like, you know what, they
have a pretty nice bar in the back of that
Burlington coat factory.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Vermont themed.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Yeah, exactly, so you got a little a little snow
on the on the pine trees in there.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Yeah, you say nestle In, say Lauren, you take the kids,
you go over to Discovery Zone. I'm gonna go just
chiy a couple of coats on, you drink a quick beer,
and a Vermont themeed bar in the back. You come
back out. The world is shining. I'm just saying.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
It is interesting. I bet you that's a lot of
money to have alcohol license. I bet you that is
the only reason that more stores don't have a bar
in the back of it.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
It would just do so great. Play it against sports?
Are you kidding me? All those broken dreams of being
a great athlete, and you're like, you got to sell
these ice skates? How about a Vodkatonic? How about a
Pina Colada.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Play it against sports is the last play, because that
is going to be a real dive in the back
of play it against sports. Yeah, it's past the bin
of Razor scooters, past the bin of Razor scooters and
the other bin of lacrosse sticks.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
I bet you get a little putt and green back there,
you take a little nibble and then that.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Is something you don't see. So now I see, I
see lacrosse sticks around. I see field hockey sticks around.
You just don't see those in la. You see wet suits,
you don't see lacrosse sticks.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Yeah, that's rights goals. Yes, yep, you got one for me, homeboy?
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Here?
Speaker 3 (26:11):
It is Kelly the Sassy Dolphin?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Is that it? That's good?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (26:22):
This is in Hakai magazine written by Rose evelyth Okay,
thank you evelyth uh. The Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas
and is an imposing place. It sits just north of
downtown Nasau, capital the Bahamas, on its own little stretch
of sand dubbed Paradise Island. The main building has two
high towers over twenty stories, each connected to this top
(26:44):
by a broad arched walkway that's dotted with giant Why
do we need to know this?
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Don't need to know it.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I'm going to read until yeah, just have a.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Nice read over there. I'll be in the back of
a Burlington cone factory drinking a mud slide.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
I mean, it's just all about Atlantis. What is going on?
All right?
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Here? It is after two full paragraphs describing the physical
structure of Atlantis. I'm in Atlantis on a warm Monday
in June to see one of the dolphins, a forty
four year old female named Kelly. When I arrive at
Dolphin K, the sun is finally banishing the last of
some storm clouds, and Kelly is across the far side
of the pool doing what's called a shallow water interaction
(27:23):
with guests. From ground level, Dolphin K looks like one
big space.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Beneath the water.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
There are gates and pens keeping the dolphins separated from
the guests and one another. When it's same time to shine,
a set of dolphins is released into the large area
that leads up to the beach. The guests, all in
matching Atlanta's wetsuits provided for the occasion. This is this
is an ad for Atlantis.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Jesus Christ is Atlantis. The Bahamas Club? Is that?
Speaker 3 (27:47):
What is the one?
Speaker 1 (27:48):
It's the one?
Speaker 6 (27:48):
Where it's just like a water park where horny, single,
middle aged people interact with endless families that are eating
all you can eat chicken fingers in a yeah lazy.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Yes, all right, well listen, this is the I'm not
even this is I'm sorry I picked the wrong article.
I here is what the deal is is. So, uh,
Kelly was trained to if she would pick up trash
around the area, she would get a treat for the trash.
(28:25):
And so she did it a couple of times and
uh bring back. And then she then she would find trash,
bring it, hide it underneath a rock, and then just
break off little pieces of trash and bring the little
pieces out of time so she'd get as many treats
as possible.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Right, Yeah, it's like my uncle Tippy. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Now, so do you have you ever read the the
the Madeleine Madeleine you a little girl book, school Girl?
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Yeah, so the for this one's about her getting her
tonsils out, and then the next one is about she
falls into the sein and a dog rescues her, right, yes,
and then the dog becomes like their best bud.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Right yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
So this was like a thing back in the twenties
in Paris because a baby fell in and this dog
rescued the baby and so then he was like harolded
and that's what inspired the book and all that sort
of stuff. So then and then the dog got like
a steak. Wait, I think we actually did this one.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
We did. We got a sausage. Sausage.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
We would know he would get a beef steak, that
was what it was called.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
And then he would just start pushing people back a
kids into the rescue.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
He would push children into the seid and then rescue
them to get a beef steak. And it was just
a rash of children almost droughteding of the said and
then this dog rescuing them and they didn't realize it
for like like a couple months where this kid, this
dog was just finding kids, pushing them in and then
(30:03):
pulling them out again for a treat.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Oh that is so good. I mean that's like also
we got sent this one a lot. I think Lisa
might have posted it on our Instagram, but that the
loves Us words just so good.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
The fact that it was just like a cherry picker
that they used, and like there's just footage of them
slowly being lowered in the in the cherry picker.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Yes, you would think sometimes. I mean maybe people just
if you're just a certain way, people assume you're somebody
that's doing what they're supposed to be.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
I put up a sign in La. It was underneath
the stop sign it says stop, and then underneath it
says no, you stop. And it was like the same
size as the stop sign. It was the stop sign size.
And I just put on a remember that reflective vest.
Nobody bothered me. I was there for like an hour,
like really attaching it.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
My buddy Russ bought a twelve inch disco ball back
in probably nineteen ninety eight, and he would just go
to any nightclub or any party or any event and
say I'm here with the DJ holding disco ball and
walk into the park. There'd go okay, no, yeah. He
did it for he just like did it endlessly because
I've tried to. I was like, what a do you
have a disco ball? And he goes, scooter, It's the
(31:22):
smartest idea I've ever had, and and he was like,
I got an that guy.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
The guy who calls you a scooter, oh man, and
he's got as he's uh, he's Southern.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Yeah, he's the best. He's a true cooky. He's like,
don't she hate paying taxes? I go, yeah, why we're
driving down the highway. He's driving his car. He uh,
he had left his the back of his suv open
enough where when he pushed something at automatically open going
down the highway. Then he rolled down all the windows
(31:56):
and blew all the trash out of his car. It
went out the back of the car on the highway.
I'm already paying the taxes. Let's get him something to
clean up. And he's just going sixty five miles an hour,
letting wind blow school papers hard, these bags, empty cups,
and I'm like, this is a different kind of guy. Yeah. Yes,
(32:16):
he carried He bought a disco ball and he would
show up and tell security I'm here with the DJ
and they would just instantly let him in and then
he would hide it under a coat and hang out
and then leave at the end of the night.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Oh my god, it's brilliant.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
It. Yeah, there's a there's a simp. There's a there's
a dumb kind of smart out there that really can
get away with anything. If you're confident exactly.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I think you pressed though I do think you cress
with that type of personality and then you start heading
down hill later in life.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Yeah, yes, he's still doing great. He's still doing very well.
And I ran into him and he's still still there.
I was on it when I went down to Naples
a few years ago. I was like, dude, I'm driving
through golf breeze.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
A black bear just came out of the ocean the
day I was there. And he goes, right now. Yeah,
he goes, wear are you right now? And I was like,
I'm heading to Naples. I'm wherever. I was probably making
the turn around Tallahassee and he goes, I live and
it was like whatever, beach And I went and met
his wife, daughter and his mom who I knew from
back in the day too, and had lunch and his
(33:25):
mom goes this wild time it pretty well. She goes,
are people in LA still drinking bud Lights? And I go,
h no, and she goes, really, I go. But they
weren't to begin with, like there was one guy that
was if anyone was protesting bud light, it was like
one guy that's like, all right, give me a Michelobaltra.
(33:48):
Nobody out here drinks bud.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Light, Miller Light.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Yeah, sure, I'm a silver bullet guy.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
That's so surprising to me.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Well, because I was.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
When I was always a kid, everyone was I can't
drink cores. Can't drink Cores. Why oh they donated to
the National Front in the eighties. In the eighties it
was a big, real, like neo Nazi thing going on
at cores.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Oh, then I'm out, I don't do that.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
I mean it was thirty fifty years ago.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
You tell me which beer most supports trans writes and
most supports non white people, and I will drink I
will drink a beer called non white beer. And if
every dollar goes to anything but white people, that would
be my number one favorite beer. Actually, that's a weird
not even a segue. So last week I went to
(34:40):
a thing called lectures on Tap. Have you ever heard
of this?
Speaker 3 (34:43):
No? Oh, I think, so where you drink beer and
you listen to like a smart person talk.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Like a ted talk. Yeah. Yes, So I went to one.
My buddy Cauled, young, great dude, aussy buddy of mine.
I think he listens to pod What's up all? He
was like, Hey, do you want to go this? They're
normally industry chats and stuff because it's ala, but this
one is on the dignity and economy of boxing. Okay,
classic boxing. And this professor from Loyola Marymount who's his
(35:12):
name is doctor Rudy Malm Dragon. He's a really cool
La Latino dude who loved boxing from an early age,
and he studies the levels the discipline, how they're not union,
how there's no national minimal payment. And he gave this
whole hour presentation while we drank really good beers at
Boomtown Brewery, great brewery, and it was fucking awesome. Oh wow,
(35:37):
I learned so much. It's a fair it's as tragic
as you think, but also it gives agency. It gives
an opportunity for different cultures to express themselves, like the
way he specializes in, like the walkins. So when you
leave the locker room and you go to the ring,
like the music you play, what you wear, he was
around you. It's a chance for these marginalized groups to
(36:00):
fully express themselves and to be celebrated. Yeah, awesome, it
was so good and was packed. It was a rainy night,
was packed. And afterwards Paul and I were chatting and
I said to them. Something you and I have talked
about on the pod before that if you and I
could go back to college, we would get straight a's.
We would read every single reading, we would listen to
(36:22):
every single lecture. It's crazy that when you're young, you
just kind of get by, and then you get older
and you're like, so I can learn about things I'm
interested in and from somebody who really knows what they're
talking about. So I'm going to just go to every
lectures on tap I can from here on out.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
That's awesome.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
I would love to go back to school me too,
just for fun, you know, like I don't need to
get like a thing. I would just like to go
take classes. To take a philosophy class again, would be
so amazing.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
I'm teaching a class on December sixth at the UCB
how to pitch movies, Class A one off. Our good
friend Rachel Olson is doing all the curating all the
shows there now, and she's like, would you ever want
to teach pitching movies? I said, hell, yeah, So if
you live in LA and you want to learn how
to pitch movies, I'm doing it. I think it's on
a Saturday It'll probably be only about eighty minutes. I'm
(37:15):
going to teach you exactly how I pitch movies.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
That's awesome, right on.
