Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Are you ready, curty bo, I'm ready to just
laugh and laugh and laugh. Did the government invent stuffed
crust pizza?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Wow? That's a very concise and yet effective headline, because
I thought there was gonna be a comma scientist disagree
or wait and find out, But.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
No, I'm just I'm just over here asking questions. Scotti shah.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Well, all right, let's take a bite out of this
very provocative episode of the Bananas Podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Would youillient pieces?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Would you do?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Ba? Guys, goals, non binary pals, Welcome to Bananas.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
I'm Kerk Brown Older.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I'm Banana boy number two. Scotti Landis. Thank you for
listening to Bananas where the easy, breezy, feel good boys.
This is a bliss pit for you to escape all
of the many stresses that are bombarding you like asteroids
from the universe.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Every second of the day, it seems, every second of
the day.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I'm not bending, I'm not breaking. I'm just gonna get
more bananas. I'm getting more positive as crap gets bad.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Hell yeah, baby, And what else is what's your other option? Huh?
What is your other option?
Speaker 2 (01:40):
My whole thing is courage and bravery. So I'm just
standing up for what's right, and that's being silly and
celebrating the absurdity in this very absurd world.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
I cleaned out my entire garage yesterday, and my garage
is where I record from.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
And so for those who don't know, I have.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Been recording from behind a pile of junk that has
been slowly being built up in this garage for years,
for years, and now I have an absolutely like not empty.
There's stuff on the walls, but I can like a
clear view, I can see the floor. It's like amazing.
(02:25):
It broke me spiritually and physically to do it yesterday,
but my god, all these boxes are labeled now, Scottie,
it's really it's a real treat.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
I feel good.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
You were in the safe zone. There's a safe zone
with garage cleanliness, where if it's horder level, you're upset
for people and you are concerned about their mental health.
And if it's too clean and too orderly, and they
have two cars in there and all their tools are
hung a certain way, that's even crazier. So you were
in the sweet spot.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
If it looks like you parked your car just on
the floor of a supermarket, if it's that clean. That's strange,
like are you trying to sell us your car?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, and or your body? It's very odd. I feel
like those are the people that only look at themselves
when they work out. When I go to the gym,
I look at people looking at themselves working out. So
I'm actually the double creep. But I think the like
I don't curl, I don't do things, and just look
at myself in the mirror, like look at this stallion,
(03:30):
look at him put in the reds. If anything, I
wish I could wear eyepatches over both eyes when I
work out and just be like, I hope it's right.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Ah, man, I have to stand so close to people
at my gym because like the area where like the
barbells are, or rather the dumbbells. Yeah, the dumbells are
the little ones because they're dumb, right, because they're little?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Is that it?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I have no idea that that is them, but if.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
You had, and so it's like, so you're you're intimately
aware of what other people are doing. And what I've
been really wanting to do is get I don't know
where you would get them, but little tiny finger sized
dumbbells like that are you know, maybe like one inch
and then like come in and be wearing like full
(04:23):
like you know, cut off shirts so my arms are
exposed and everything, sweat band, walk up, like get psych
myself up, and then just curl one finger up like
and grunt like the whole time one who hey, and
then put it and then put it down like it's
(04:43):
really heavy, and like stand back and like stretch just
my finger like the way you'd stretch your arms across
your chest.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
This is a very accomplishable goal, I think this, but
you're just gonna have to do it for you because
cameras in the gym or for for nerds and dorks
and weirdos.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
So I know it's it'll just be for me.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I like my gym and I won't even name what
it is because it's so special and so empty all
the time. It's so empty all the time. And my
good friends Erica and Austin were the ones that told
me about it, and they listened to bananas and one
day I brought up the gym and they were like,
please don't say it, Please don't say which one it is.
So I'm totally gatekeeping, absolutely gatekeeping this gym because I'm
(05:25):
going to go after this recording, and I would say,
Kurt on the busiest I've ever seen the gym. Four
people in the entire like aerobic machines room, like the treadmill, ellipticals,
four people counting myself. In the weight room, it's usually
me and one other guy and he's looking at the
mirror and I'm looking at him, and then I don't know,
(05:46):
four or five high school kids playing basketball. That's the maximum. Ever,
So when I go, I feel like I'm just getting
a little alone time, which is nice for me as
an introvert.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Extrovert, No, that is interesting, and that is something I
actually do enjoy about, like exercising, is that it is
the only time where you're like, Okay, well for this hour,
I'm just doing this thing for myself, and it's not
and it's not like for anybody else other than me
to live a little bit longer.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I've brought this up on the pod years ago, but
when we both lived in Brooklyn, you and I both
lived off the F train, and there was a gentleman
and I don't know if he was unhoused, I don't
know if he was just an entrepreneur, but he would
usually get on.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
That maybe he had a house he was choosing not
to use it.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
You know, in New York there's certainly dozens and dozens
of people with an apartment who were choosing not to
use them. There's no doubt. So this guy, you may
remember this dude. But he would get on and he
had clearly stolen something from Carroll Gardens, the neighborhood. And
he'd get on, usually about Bergen, and it would go
(06:57):
above ground there, it would go above for fourth Street
and then ninth Street and then go back under at
seventh half or seventh Street excep for that. And he
would get on at a busy time of day, like
rush hour, and he would come on with whatever he stole.
And one time I had been a tempt so I'm
wearing a suit and he comes on and he's got
two dumbbells to your story, just like little two or
(07:21):
five pounds, and he goes, lady, and this is hey.
You would always intro it this way, ladies and gentlemen,
treat yourself, don't beat yourself. It's real and it's live,
it's happening right now. And then he clearly forgot the
word for dumbbells. So he goes, I got dumb bars.
I got dumb bars for sale, and he's curling them,
(07:42):
he's lifting them above his head. He's doing like in
place in a crowded subwa car. Dumb bars, dumb bars,
ten dollars, treat yourself, don't beat yourself. Is right here
and is right now, is live. And I'm like this guy,
And you know, I never.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Saw that Baltimore level. That's Baltimore level salesmanship.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah, he'd go four stops, he'd get off if he
hadn't sold it. I saw him do it with a
girl's bicycle, like a twelve inch tired bicycle once. But yeah,
dumb bars. It just made me. That's why it's stuck
with me. If he'd said dumbbells, I would never remembered it.
But the confidence to be like, I know dumb is
in the word, and I know their workout rates. I
don't remember the rest, but yeah, God bless that man.
(08:24):
I hope he sold it and is now running a
fortune five hundred company. It is doubtful.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
So do you want to hear about this government? This
government conspiracy?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
I would love to. Will this come out before our
Chicago show at the Den?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
You sure will.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Oh my gosh, we got it right.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Chicago, May eighth were at the Den. This was a
late ad, late ad. The podcast is going to be there,
tickets are going quickly, we should sell out, so I
would go, right now, do we just go to the
Den theater's website or go to our website Bananas podcast
(09:05):
dot com get tickets right there?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yes, I was bored. I was thinking about the Internet
for some reason, and I was like, you know, how
long have I had Gmail? Because I do have a
Gmail account, not to dos myself, but I do have
one of the Gmail accounts out there, and so I
looked it up. My first Gmail email ever sent was
(09:28):
on April fifth, two thousand and.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Five, and that seems early.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Thank you. I'm an innovator. All of my first like
fifteen or twenty are very interesting. You would actually get
a kick out of these, because you know, Kristin Shaw's
on there, Hello Lawless is on there, Andrew Rosen's on there,
like early where you're like, wow, welcome to Gmail. And
the second email I sent was to myself and it
(09:54):
just said college stuff and I opened it up. This
was this morning. By the way, this is not me,
like if dog in classically, and it was all these
college papers that I had written, and I had forgotten
about almost all of them. And I found a kid
story that I had to write to get into a
call like creative writing class, and I think I'm going
(10:15):
to read it at the Chicago show because it's pretty good,
and it is.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
It's a kid story.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
It's a three paid short story that's like a children's book.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
And that was a requirement to get into your writing.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
It was like a level. I was a freshman in
college and so to get into a level two hundred
English class that was like creative writing with Nora Jablonsky.
Shout out to the teacher, Nord Jablonsky. She was a
great professor. You had to like give a sample. And
so I don't remember writing it. I didn't remember the story,
but I've read it and I sent it to our
friend Kate Cosgrove, the illustrator, and she was like, I
(10:52):
love this, so I may read it live for the
first time at Chicago at the Den. May Oh.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Yeah, it's me. It's seventeen year old Scottie just letting
it rip and I'm like, damn, okay, not bad.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
What an interesting requirement for the creative writing class to
write a children's story.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
I think it was a short story was probably the requirement,
or like a short short, but I chose a kid's
book and went heywhere because back then I wanted to
be a children's book author.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
That was going to really.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Turns out it's harder than being a TV writer or
a movie writer.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
WHOA for real?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
My main goal even when I moved to New York
was I wanted to write kids books. But I'm not
an artist. And everybody I went was like, if you're
not drawing it, then we don't want the man.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
We don't want it. Get out, get.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Out buying them from the big dogs. Madonna, jay Leno,
all these people that kids are just dying to get
to know more.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
They're like, oh man, what does jay Leno have to
say about my childhood? I need to know?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
You know it was about cars with a chin. Oh
I'm sure, I have no idea, but he was one
of the ones that they were like, now we're going
with celebrities. Yeah, okay, that's it, like podcasting. Are you
a celebrity, get a podcast? Make money that you don't need?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
What is going on?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
And that's what I was just talking about this When
I see also when I see like wealthy actors in commercials, yeah,
I'm like.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
What is wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I agree?
Speaker 3 (12:32):
What is so empty in your life that you have
to fill your time doing a commercial for fucking snickers? Also,
every commercial that has one of those mega celebrities in
it is just taking money away from working actors and
making it more and more difficult to exist in a
a in an industry that is already dying.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yep, that's right. And we're not talking about the character actors.
We're talking about now A list celebrity's selling car insurance.
What are you going to do? What are you doing?
You shill you fucking shit. I don't know. I guess
we're only all on the planet for eighty years. So
it's like they're going and getting theres, but come on,
(13:14):
leave some for the rest of us.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
But there is a there's a at a certain point,
it's no longer you're getting yours, it's you're getting money
you'll never touch it'll it'll just sit somewhere in an
offshore account making like doing nothing. It's just simply taking
it away from another actor.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
All right, buffoons. Anyways, let's get into pizza.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Let's get into pizza, all right. So this was sent
in by Taylor Reese. Thank you Taylor.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Thanks Taylor to sends lots of good stories.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
And so this is a fascinating So the again the
headline that doesn't actually exist, but I'm saying is did
the government and invent.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Stuff crust pizza?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
I'm going to ye.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
I mean, the answer is very interesting. It is kind
of the answer is kind of yeah, pretty much. So
we covered long time ago.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
The cheese caves, right, we did. Okay, for those of
you primer who didn't know.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
In the seventies, Uh, there was a like dairy crisis.
There was just too much milk. Everybody stopped drinking milk
for some reason, and so the government, so Jimmy Carter
pumped a lot of money into the dairy industry. And
then dairy farmers responded by simply making way, way, way, way,
(14:38):
way more milk than we ever could consume. And there
was going to be this big collapse. So then the
government started buying cheese from dairy farmers and storing it
inside a mountain in Missouri or something right in Missouri. Yeah,
and then and then Reagan came in after that and
(14:58):
was like, now we got to all we got to
get rid of all this cheese. So government, that's that's
where the government cheese came from, right, Yeah, very affordable cheese.
And also the majority of cheese for pizza chain restaurants
comes from government cheese. So Domino's, Papa John's, those are
(15:21):
the big ones who buy most of their cheese from
the government.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
And so then Bill Clinton comes in and Bill Clinton
creates what is called the Dairy Council.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Nice.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Uh, And this is from an article in the farm
Link Project.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
I'm reading that two three times a day. I'm printing
it out, I'm stapling it to my face. So I
just opened my eyes and it's always there.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Additionally, to help move dairy products that are less and
less in demand, the Clinton administration started Dairy Management Incorporated.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
What a delightful name. Agreed, Uh, there should be a
movie about Dairy Management Incorporated. They created it in the
nineteen nineties with an annual budget of one hundred and
forty million dollars. This offshoot of the Department of Agriculture
works to get Americans to consume more dairy Even though
the Department of Health and Human Services has conducted subvi's
(16:18):
showing dairy is not very healthy to be consumed regularly,
and thirty percent thirty six percent of Americans are lactose
intolerant my syfe. This intolerance has been proven to be
significantly higher for minority groups, with seventy five percent of
African Americans experiencing lactose intelligence intolerance, fifty one percent of
Latinos and eighty percent Asian Americans.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yes, isn't that a lot of fotino? One is a
little because I buy a lot of Mexican food in
Los Angeles, and they do not skimp on the cheese.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
That's Mexican American food. If you go to Mexico, there
is not much cheese stuff. Okay, this and then that
is contrasted by twenty one percent of caucade Asians. Dairy
Management Incorporated nonetheless launches campaigns like the infamous gotten Milk
ads uh and so it was a where's the quote?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I have the quote here? Uh?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Gott milk also suggestively sexual like that was part of
that campaign too. It was certainly an element to the
oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Then this was an episode This wasn't in Chowhound written
by Tim Forrester.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Oh good, he's good.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Uh abyss.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Here's a question, who invented pizza huts three cheese stuffed
crust pizza. The answer probably seems obvious, pizza hut, But
in fact that's only half the story. It actually turns
out that a collaborative effort between the US government and
American dairy farmers helped birth this incredibly cheesy pizza. To
understand how this works, you'll need to know about something
called a checkof board. These are government affiliated agriculture boards
(17:55):
that encourage public to consume more of a specific product.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Blah blah blah blah. That's what I just talked about.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
That's where ferry management comes in. It's a checkof board
helps encourage sales and consumptions dairy products. Back in the
twenty ten's, American farmers were pumping out more dairy products
than they could sell here or overseas, and that oversupply
was pushing prices painfully low. So Dairy Management in Corporated
set about inventing new ways to offload all their extra cheese,
and pizza huts three cheese stuffed crust pizza was one
(18:22):
of their big ideas. Officially speaking, Dairy Management went into
partnership with Pizza Hut to create this pizza, and it
wasn't the only time the two entities worked together. After
the three cheese crust stuffed Crust pizza and twenty thirteen,
Dairy Management helped develop the new stuffed crust pizza in
twenty eighteen and again around twenty twenty one when it
(18:42):
created a Detroit style pizza with.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Fifty more cheese.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
That's so much previous rectangular pies. Pizza Hut isn't the
only chain that Dairy Management has worked with either, as
Taco Bells, Casa Lupa, and Domino's Pepper only stuffed cheesy
bread we're also products of similar partnerships with Dairy Management Incorporated.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Blah blah blah blah. So yeah, so they've been out
there make inventing cheese products for us to consume for years,
like since the nineties, which is crazy. Now here is
Scotty we got all that information.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
It went in one year and stayed in there.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Now here's the here's the here's the twist. Baby, Okay,
there's yet another twist.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Now.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
This was on Scott's Pizza Tours dot Com by Scott Weiner.
I'm assuming that's the Scott of Scott's Pizza Tours and
he writes the true origin of stuffed crust pizza. Uh,
we just heard the most incredible story on the Brooklyn
Magazine podcast thanks to a tip from SPT guide.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
That's Scott's Pizza Tour guide.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Amy, no other last name given, just apparently. Apparently there's
a guy in Brooklyn who claims to have invented stuffed
crust pizza and his story is incredible. And now what
you're thinking, didn't Pizza Hup come up with it in
the nineteen nineties. Theirs must be the most well known version,
but anthy Mangiello, the son of a cheese industry professional,
(20:17):
did it first. He even sued Pizza Hut for one
billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Interesting.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
You can learn Mangiello's whole story by watching the new
documentary Stolen Doe. It's an incredibly story about food, intellectual property,
and pride. He doesn't go much more into the he
just tells us to go watch the documentary and guess what.
Much like Scott's Pizza Tours.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
I also did not watch it, and I have not
can't get ring in about this, but I bet you
it was a a case. I don't know. Maybe they
did steal it. I wouldn't put it above him dairy
management Incorporated and stealing.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Maybe it also falls under. Eventually we were gonna get there.
I mean, you look at a pizza, You look at
the crust, it you think, could I put cheese inside
that crust?
Speaker 1 (21:06):
It's yeah, it's like it's probably her first thought when
getting stoned in eating pizza.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yeah. There was a TV pilot that Rob Anderson did
once called Ideas, and it was just that it was
the comedians getting high and just coming up with ideas,
and it's.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
A great idea.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
It probably would have been a great YouTube series turned something.
But that is damn good. I think I have reversed.
I used to be lactose sensitive. I was never intolerant,
but I had reversed it.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Oh you have yeah? I did you have to eat cheese?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Yeah? Yeah, I don't eat it. I die if I
don't eat cheese and drink milk. I have gyri and
I shit my pants constantly. So curses on me bad
Uno reverse guard there, No, but I did because back
in New York, I was like, you know, it's so
much dairy and stuff there, and I just hated. I
just felt bad all the time, felt like uncomfortable at
(21:55):
the time. Cut dairy, it all went away, did that
for a long time, and then I read that you
can like increment only start bringing Derek back in your
life and build up whatever it is lack tais and enzymes.
And I did it, and so now it's like I
enjoy it and have zero issues. And it just took
like ten years or eight years of slowly getting incremental
(22:15):
more and more and more. Now kidding me, yeah, if
I'm not eating fom do, I'm just blowing it out
both ends.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
That's what it is.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
I mean we learned that with Gus because Gus was
like he lacked those Like first we we were like,
he's lactose intolerant, but then also he might also have
this allergy of this of milk casein, and then we're like, oh,
we shouldn't be giving him cheese, but literally cheese in
every single thing that a child is offered at any
birthday party, any outing, anywhere you just go over somebody's house,
(22:46):
it's always pizza.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
And so we.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Always felt bad about like give it, like letting him
have somebody wanted it so bad because it's cheese and
it tastes good, and so we would like give in
and then and then the doctor was like, oh, yeah,
of course you have to let him do it, because
if he doesn't, then it'll really become an issue. Like
he just has to be slightly uncomfortable all the time
in order for this to like go away at something.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
You're going, yeah, well.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
You know, when he becomes a middle aged man, he'll
just be chiming down on it like me. So it's
gonna be worth it in every way. We were talking
about pizza while back, and we were trying to find
Ilio's pizza, which was such an eighties staple, and I
could not find it in Los Angeles. I went to Ralphs,
I went to Johnson, went to Bonds.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
I know it still exists though, because I definitely saw
it recently and I was like, oh, I'm gonna get
some Ilios and I didn't pick it up, though.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Damn well, in the future, that'll be a I bet
it's on the East Coast more. I bet it'll be
over there.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
A lot more so. In conclusion, folks, there's a giant
mountain that's filled with cheese that the government bought and
now the government is forcing you to eat stuff crust pizza.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
There you go. And I think it is that episode.
I think that was in the Bridget Everett episode because
I do her being like, oh, I'm from there. I
had never heard of this, and she's either from Missouri
or Kansas, or.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
She's from Kansas, yeah, or Manhattan, Kansas.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
There you go, so oh yeah, that's where her show
takes place.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
A great show, great show, What a vibe show, What
a vibe show. We were just like enjoy watching it
because of the vibes.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
But yeah, there's cheese buried in the middle of the country.
Go get you some government cheese. Pier's one sent from
Breaking Wind podcast. That's my Sam from England. We'll shout
out Sam. Hey hung out once at the Golden Gopher
in downtown LA. Had a beer.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Hell yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
And I don't think they do that podcast anymore else
if I might be incorrect, But what it was was
they watched Twilight every week for a year. The movie Twilight.
I think it was like Breaking Dawn or whatever, which
is great, just fun and dumb. And so it's called
the Breaking Wind podcast, and here it is oh, this
is a feeld good one. I thought we would start
(24:57):
with our start mind with a field good one. A
random text message ended up in happily Ever after this
was in the BBC, I think all my stories are
from that British broadcasting company or channel or whatever that
stands for Tanya Gupta and Charlotte Benton. Ooh, that duo
(25:17):
best in the damn business.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
That's what really hard.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
When Donovan Shears sent a text message to a random
number in nineteen ninety eight, it changed the course of
his life. This is why I looked back at my
Gmail to see what my first one was. Okay, he
had been given his first mobile phone for his eighteenth
birthday and had just discovered text messaging. What an innocent time.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Yeah right, remember that when you first discovered text messaging
and it was.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
So difficult because it was a abcccab DFF.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yeah, hated it didn't understand it would just think just
call me, And now the reverse is true. If you
call me without texting first, assume the worst.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
No, no, no, it's now become no.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
It's now reversed again for me because I don't text
without speaking my text.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Into my phone.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Oh so it's.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Like I'm calling you, but I'm sending you a text.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Also to the people who talk on speakerphone with their
iPhone that's held flat in front of your face, what's
going on in your life?
Speaker 1 (26:20):
What's going on happening? What? What?
Speaker 3 (26:23):
What part of you just thinks that you exist in
a vacuum of no other human beings. I saw somebody
do it face timing on the elevator and it was like,
we're in a fucking elephant, like right next to you.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
It is outrageous.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
At least FaceTime, I understand the camera, but when it's
speakerphone and then they hold it flat like they're about
to bite any Claire in front of their face, and
it's like you don't want to hold it up to
your ear for some reason. And it's it's funny because
it defies all stereotypes. It's not rich people, it's not
never people. It's not white people, it's not white people.
(27:00):
It's there's just a certain group of psychopaths that talk
speaker phone and hold it so specifically, and in my life,
they've never said anything interesting. They've never been like, okay,
now put the kidney on ice. I'm on my way
I'm going to walk you through this. It's always just
like uh huh, who did what? Hah? That's crazy, And
(27:22):
then you're like, man, this, I wish I could make
that phone explode right now. Okay. He had been given
his first mobile phone on his eighteenth birthday and it
just discovered text messaging. He made up random numbers and
sent off messages saying hello, to which one his future wife, Kirsty,
(27:44):
wrote back high. So he just sent to a random
number hello, and then a woman wrote back high.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
How old was Kirsty at the time.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
That's a great question. I hope she was eighteen. Also,
that single moment led to over twenty years of love,
laughter and partnership. They said. Out of several messages to
unknown numbers that he sent from the Coventry pub where
he was working that night, Kirsty in Cleithorps was the
only one to reply on now, come on now, cle
(28:15):
Thorps c l E E t h O r p
E sorps.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Just like it's spelled Kirsty, And what's that My name's Cleethorps.
Just said, just like it's spelled.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Yeah, you're walking kind of weird. Oh well, you know,
I went on vacation and came back with a nasty
case of Cleethorp's. Fast forward four years, the couple were
getting married in Scotland, where Kirsty's from. Now they have
two children, aged six and nine. Kirstie said they she
replied to Donovan's message thinking of someone she knew, but
just she hadn't saved their number in her phone.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Nice speaking to what is? Kids named you up?
Speaker 2 (28:57):
And yeah?
Speaker 1 (29:01):
What's another tech common text phrase?
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Yel d L Yeah, well just down low you know
you up? And yeah asl H sex location the old
chat room stand by. So hard to lie to that,
So hard to deceive to that one, Kirsty said, you replied,
blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Speaking to BBC, they remembered how they first met at
the Coventry Railroad station and went on their first date
at the well known city nightclub, the Coliseum, which is
now called the Kasba.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
All right, seems like it would go the other way, honestly,
it really does. Seems like Kasba is more popular.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Twenty years ago and Colums are more popular now, but
who you know, things are always changings.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Are different in old England town. Donovan said, I started
sending messages, random text messages and showing them off to
my friends. I just picked the first four digits as
mine and the last three digits randomly. It was probably
about five or six different numbers, and then I didn't
think of anything of it. Kirsty said we would text
throughout the day, and then obviously it became more and
more frequent, to the point where we decided we should
(30:09):
phone each other. Wow, we were texting each other so much.
My phone bill was over two hundred and fifty pounds
a month. That's not cheap. Also, it used to be
only free texting nights and weekend, so you would wait
for six o'clock to click over and then you're like
text text X. But texting used to be so expensive?
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Oh yeah, it was like ten cents. Was it like
ten cents a text?
Speaker 2 (30:32):
I think so. I think I can remember them advertising
that it was just like seven cents a text message,
and like, I gotta get on that deal. But also,
were they just ripping us off so bad?
Speaker 1 (30:43):
It doesn't cost anything to send text.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
There's not a crew of men holding oars in the
bottom of a shit rowing every time a text message.
Just said.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
What pieces as shit?
Speaker 3 (30:56):
That they were just like that's a new thing. Yeah,
charged by the text. That's how we do it because
we're getting our nut.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
We're singular wireless kiss r butts uh So I think
that's when I decided we should call. Feelings started to
develop and she's got the most beautiful Scottish accent, which
attracted me to her as well. That's cute.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Look at that. You gotta be a specific person. You
got to shoot your shot to find a Scottish accent.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Sexy, it's it's different.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
No, I understand different. It can be. Don't know. I've
met many. Yes, no, it can be sexy.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
It can be. It can be you certainly can be.
The pair eventually met up six months after the first
text message was sent. I said to my stepsister, I've
got to go meet this guy. And she was like,
he could be anyone and I was like, yes, I know,
but I was eighteen and didn't really think about consequences.
(31:56):
Kirsty said, So two eighteen year olds there it is.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
So it's amazing. And they could and send a photo
now you know. They just sent like an all ASKI
kind of.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Like interpretation of what they look like, just kind of
like a square box with eyes and smiles.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yeah, I'm six' five swimmers build hung like a. RHINOCEROS
i said to, oh, Yeah i've got A so this
Is kirsty, SAYS i just got on a train and
came To. Coventry donovan said he was scared to make
the first, move But kirsty was much more assured and
the rest is. History he. SAID i remember coming back
(32:32):
from our first night out and we just cut it.
Up it was kind of magical in a.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
WAY i love.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
That, also the fact that you can just hop on
a train in THE uk and pretty much go anywhere
is so.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
AWESOME i watched to relax after a long. Day my
wife AND i gathered the children around THE tv and
we Watch escape to The, country which is Just british
people buying country. Homes so it's Like BRITISH. Hgtv and
it's so like everything's a little different and weird and
(33:06):
you get to like look at their weird houses and
and the craziest part about all of it is that
at the end they show three, houses just like ANY hgtv,
show and then at the end you just don't find
out if they bought AN.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
WHY i don't know.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
WHY i don't know if it's like about privacy laws
in THE uk or. Something there must be a very
good reason that they do not give exactly what every
single viewer wants is to find out which one they brought.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
They, Bought but you don't ever find. Out they're just
like that.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
The odds are stacked against. Them maybe they just don't
sell that, many and it's more about the adventure and
the hope of. Looking here's a big.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Deal if someone goes, to, quote look at it, again
if that's, so you might you might have a second,
Viewing and they're, like we might have a we might
have a second View but they won't commit to even
telling you if they're going to go look at it.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Again it's so weird.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Anyway point being is they're looking at these like Little
british villages that are, like you, know they look like
they're like they're still in the fifteenth, century and they're,
like and of course the train is right.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Here it's forty five minutes To london to Downtown.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
London it's, like it's, crazy my, goodness so trains damn.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
It why it seems like the thing that we should
all be able to agree on it's so. Peaceful, Yes
and it doesn't matter if you're a red state or blue.
State you get to sit, Still you get to, eat,
drink look at your, phone talk on your speakerphone like
in A claire in front of your, face or like
you're about to blow off an old chalk board, eraser
(34:47):
and watch the country roll by at a fast paced
with no. Traffic how can't we agree ON?
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Tv we agree on? This my. God the amount of
people get mad of having high speed rail is.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
We already have it. Cleared this country was built on.
Railroads there are tracks going. Everywhere they just need to
be refurbished or, rebuilt but they're already. Laid it's crazy
to me that we can't because if there was high speed,
TRAIN i would just go to places Like, Denver, Chicago.
SEATTLE i would just go places, Like, hey it's a
ten hour train, ride but we'll be In chicago by tomorrow.
(35:25):

wahlberg's municipal clothing store vandalized again In Sandy Diego municipal clothing.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
Store that makes it sound like he makes clothes for police. Officers,

that A Matt David judge.

Robe, yeah there's A. Wallburgers you could just like A
judge or just eat A wallburgers and.
Speaker 1 (47:28):
That.
Speaker 4 (47:28):
MAN i Get Matt damon And Mark wahlberg confused all the.
TIME i had a joke off my first album which,
says which was do you think do you Think Mark
wahlberg is an alternate Universe Matt damon where everyone's born
with fetal alcohol syndroke, man that's so?
Speaker 2 (47:46):
Crazy, yes the answer is, Yes, damn that's so. Funny,
Yeah Mark, WAHLBERG i THINK I i Think i'd rather
chill With Matt, damon to be, HONEST i think he's
probably a tough. Decision. MORE i think he's a little more,
fun And i'd rather Take Jesse plemons over both of.
Speaker 1 (48:04):
Them so they, oh Definitely Jesse plemons one thousand.
Speaker 3 (48:07):
PERCENT i think it's a tough decision Between Matt damon
And Mark wahlberg BECAUSE i Think Matt damon is also cuckoo,
balls so it seems.
Speaker 1 (48:15):
Like they're two cuckoo.
Speaker 2 (48:16):
Kids He i've had two experiences With Mark, wahlberg one,
direct one. Indirect the indirect one WAS i was dating
woman in twenty, ten and she was doing press, junkets
like when they interview people before, movies and part of
being AN a list celebrities in your, contract you have
to do a certain amount of press to promote the.
Movie and some are great at. It Will ferrell's apparently,
(48:37):
great and some are. Terrible and Apparently Mark wahlberg is
famously one of the, worst horrible interview like he's final
chat shows Like conan And kimmel and all. That but
so this girl was, dating was doing The. Fighter it
was A Mark Wahlberg Christian bale boxing, movie and so
the junk press junket producer gives her the cards and
(48:58):
she has to, say, like you up In, boston was
it easy to do the? Accent you know all those.
Things he's giving one word answers the whole. Time he's
just literally doing the bare minimum contractual. Interview so then
she asks, him have you ever been in a? Fistfight
how many? Times and he, goes, yeah a billion. Times
(49:20):
it just says that's the only time he said more
than one. Word have you ever been in a? Fight?

Speaker 1 (00:26):
No, I'm just I'm just over here asking questions. Scotti shah.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Well, all right, let's take a bite out of this
very provocative episode of the Bananas Podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Would youillient pieces?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Would you do?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Ba? Guys, goals, non binary pals, Welcome to Bananas.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
I'm Kerk Brown Older.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I'm Banana boy number two. Scotti Landis. Thank you for
listening to Bananas where the easy, breezy, feel good boys.
This is a bliss pit for you to escape all
of the many stresses that are bombarding you like asteroids
from the universe.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Every second of the day, it seems, every second of
the day.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I'm not bending, I'm not breaking. I'm just gonna get
more bananas. I'm getting more positive as crap gets bad.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Hell yeah, baby, And what else is what's your other option? Huh?
What is your other option?
Speaker 2 (01:40):
My whole thing is courage and bravery. So I'm just
standing up for what's right, and that's being silly and
celebrating the absurdity in this very absurd world.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
I cleaned out my entire garage yesterday, and my garage
is where I record from.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
And so for those who don't know, I have.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Been recording from behind a pile of junk that has
been slowly being built up in this garage for years,
for years, and now I have an absolutely like not empty.
There's stuff on the walls, but I can like a
clear view, I can see the floor. It's like amazing.
(02:25):
It broke me spiritually and physically to do it yesterday,
but my god, all these boxes are labeled now, Scottie,
it's really it's a real treat.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
I feel good.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
You were in the safe zone. There's a safe zone
with garage cleanliness, where if it's horder level, you're upset
for people and you are concerned about their mental health.
And if it's too clean and too orderly, and they
have two cars in there and all their tools are
hung a certain way, that's even crazier. So you were
in the sweet spot.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
If it looks like you parked your car just on
the floor of a supermarket, if it's that clean. That's strange,
like are you trying to sell us your car?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, and or your body? It's very odd. I feel
like those are the people that only look at themselves
when they work out. When I go to the gym,
I look at people looking at themselves working out. So
I'm actually the double creep. But I think the like
I don't curl, I don't do things, and just look
at myself in the mirror, like look at this stallion,
(03:30):
look at him put in the reds. If anything, I
wish I could wear eyepatches over both eyes when I
work out and just be like, I hope it's right.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Ah, man, I have to stand so close to people
at my gym because like the area where like the
barbells are, or rather the dumbbells. Yeah, the dumbells are
the little ones because they're dumb, right, because they're little?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Is that it?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I have no idea that that is them, but if.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
You had, and so it's like, so you're you're intimately
aware of what other people are doing. And what I've
been really wanting to do is get I don't know
where you would get them, but little tiny finger sized
dumbbells like that are you know, maybe like one inch
and then like come in and be wearing like full
(04:23):
like you know, cut off shirts so my arms are
exposed and everything, sweat band, walk up, like get psych
myself up, and then just curl one finger up like
and grunt like the whole time one who hey, and
then put it and then put it down like it's
(04:43):
really heavy, and like stand back and like stretch just
my finger like the way you'd stretch your arms across
your chest.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
This is a very accomplishable goal, I think this, but
you're just gonna have to do it for you because
cameras in the gym or for for nerds and dorks
and weirdos.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
So I know it's it'll just be for me.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I like my gym and I won't even name what
it is because it's so special and so empty all
the time. It's so empty all the time. And my
good friends Erica and Austin were the ones that told
me about it, and they listened to bananas and one
day I brought up the gym and they were like,
please don't say it, Please don't say which one it is.
So I'm totally gatekeeping, absolutely gatekeeping this gym because I'm
(05:25):
going to go after this recording, and I would say,
Kurt on the busiest I've ever seen the gym. Four
people in the entire like aerobic machines room, like the treadmill, ellipticals,
four people counting myself. In the weight room, it's usually
me and one other guy and he's looking at the
mirror and I'm looking at him, and then I don't know,
(05:46):
four or five high school kids playing basketball. That's the maximum. Ever,
So when I go, I feel like I'm just getting
a little alone time, which is nice for me as
an introvert.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Extrovert, No, that is interesting, and that is something I
actually do enjoy about, like exercising, is that it is
the only time where you're like, Okay, well for this hour,
I'm just doing this thing for myself, and it's not
and it's not like for anybody else other than me
to live a little bit longer.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I've brought this up on the pod years ago, but
when we both lived in Brooklyn, you and I both
lived off the F train, and there was a gentleman
and I don't know if he was unhoused, I don't
know if he was just an entrepreneur, but he would
usually get on.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
That maybe he had a house he was choosing not
to use it.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
You know, in New York there's certainly dozens and dozens
of people with an apartment who were choosing not to
use them. There's no doubt. So this guy, you may
remember this dude. But he would get on and he
had clearly stolen something from Carroll Gardens, the neighborhood. And
he'd get on, usually about Bergen, and it would go
(06:57):
above ground there, it would go above for fourth Street
and then ninth Street and then go back under at
seventh half or seventh Street excep for that. And he
would get on at a busy time of day, like
rush hour, and he would come on with whatever he stole.
And one time I had been a tempt so I'm
wearing a suit and he comes on and he's got
two dumbbells to your story, just like little two or
(07:21):
five pounds, and he goes, lady, and this is hey.
You would always intro it this way, ladies and gentlemen,
treat yourself, don't beat yourself. It's real and it's live,
it's happening right now. And then he clearly forgot the
word for dumbbells. So he goes, I got dumb bars.
I got dumb bars for sale, and he's curling them,
(07:42):
he's lifting them above his head. He's doing like in
place in a crowded subwa car. Dumb bars, dumb bars,
ten dollars, treat yourself, don't beat yourself. Is right here
and is right now, is live. And I'm like this guy,
And you know, I never.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Saw that Baltimore level. That's Baltimore level salesmanship.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah, he'd go four stops, he'd get off if he
hadn't sold it. I saw him do it with a
girl's bicycle, like a twelve inch tired bicycle once. But yeah,
dumb bars. It just made me. That's why it's stuck
with me. If he'd said dumbbells, I would never remembered it.
But the confidence to be like, I know dumb is
in the word, and I know their workout rates. I
don't remember the rest, but yeah, God bless that man.
(08:24):
I hope he sold it and is now running a
fortune five hundred company. It is doubtful.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
So do you want to hear about this government? This
government conspiracy?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
I would love to. Will this come out before our
Chicago show at the Den?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
You sure will.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Oh my gosh, we got it right.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Chicago, May eighth were at the Den. This was a
late ad, late ad. The podcast is going to be there,
tickets are going quickly, we should sell out, so I
would go, right now, do we just go to the
Den theater's website or go to our website Bananas podcast
(09:05):
dot com get tickets right there?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yes, I was bored. I was thinking about the Internet
for some reason, and I was like, you know, how
long have I had Gmail? Because I do have a
Gmail account, not to dos myself, but I do have
one of the Gmail accounts out there, and so I
looked it up. My first Gmail email ever sent was
(09:28):
on April fifth, two thousand and.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Five, and that seems early.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Thank you. I'm an innovator. All of my first like
fifteen or twenty are very interesting. You would actually get
a kick out of these, because you know, Kristin Shaw's
on there, Hello Lawless is on there, Andrew Rosen's on there,
like early where you're like, wow, welcome to Gmail. And
the second email I sent was to myself and it
(09:54):
just said college stuff and I opened it up. This
was this morning. By the way, this is not me,
like if dog in classically, and it was all these
college papers that I had written, and I had forgotten
about almost all of them. And I found a kid
story that I had to write to get into a
call like creative writing class, and I think I'm going
(10:15):
to read it at the Chicago show because it's pretty good,
and it is.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
It's a kid story.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
It's a three paid short story that's like a children's book.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
And that was a requirement to get into your writing.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
It was like a level. I was a freshman in
college and so to get into a level two hundred
English class that was like creative writing with Nora Jablonsky.
Shout out to the teacher, Nord Jablonsky. She was a
great professor. You had to like give a sample. And
so I don't remember writing it. I didn't remember the story,
but I've read it and I sent it to our
friend Kate Cosgrove, the illustrator, and she was like, I
(10:52):
love this, so I may read it live for the
first time at Chicago at the Den. May Oh.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Yeah, it's me. It's seventeen year old Scottie just letting
it rip and I'm like, damn, okay, not bad.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
What an interesting requirement for the creative writing class to
write a children's story.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
I think it was a short story was probably the requirement,
or like a short short, but I chose a kid's
book and went heywhere because back then I wanted to
be a children's book author.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
That was going to really.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Turns out it's harder than being a TV writer or
a movie writer.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
WHOA for real?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
My main goal even when I moved to New York
was I wanted to write kids books. But I'm not
an artist. And everybody I went was like, if you're
not drawing it, then we don't want the man.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
We don't want it. Get out, get.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Out buying them from the big dogs. Madonna, jay Leno,
all these people that kids are just dying to get
to know more.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
They're like, oh man, what does jay Leno have to
say about my childhood? I need to know?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
You know it was about cars with a chin. Oh
I'm sure, I have no idea, but he was one
of the ones that they were like, now we're going
with celebrities. Yeah, okay, that's it, like podcasting. Are you
a celebrity, get a podcast? Make money that you don't need?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
What is going on?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
And that's what I was just talking about this When
I see also when I see like wealthy actors in commercials, yeah,
I'm like.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
What is wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I agree?
Speaker 3 (12:32):
What is so empty in your life that you have
to fill your time doing a commercial for fucking snickers? Also,
every commercial that has one of those mega celebrities in
it is just taking money away from working actors and
making it more and more difficult to exist in a
a in an industry that is already dying.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yep, that's right. And we're not talking about the character actors.
We're talking about now A list celebrity's selling car insurance.
What are you going to do? What are you doing?
You shill you fucking shit. I don't know. I guess
we're only all on the planet for eighty years. So
it's like they're going and getting theres, but come on,
(13:14):
leave some for the rest of us.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
But there is a there's a at a certain point,
it's no longer you're getting yours, it's you're getting money
you'll never touch it'll it'll just sit somewhere in an
offshore account making like doing nothing. It's just simply taking
it away from another actor.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
All right, buffoons. Anyways, let's get into pizza.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Let's get into pizza, all right. So this was sent
in by Taylor Reese. Thank you Taylor.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Thanks Taylor to sends lots of good stories.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
And so this is a fascinating So the again the
headline that doesn't actually exist, but I'm saying is did
the government and invent.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Stuff crust pizza?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
I'm going to ye.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
I mean, the answer is very interesting. It is kind
of the answer is kind of yeah, pretty much. So
we covered long time ago.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
The cheese caves, right, we did. Okay, for those of
you primer who didn't know.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
In the seventies, Uh, there was a like dairy crisis.
There was just too much milk. Everybody stopped drinking milk
for some reason, and so the government, so Jimmy Carter
pumped a lot of money into the dairy industry. And
then dairy farmers responded by simply making way, way, way, way,
(14:38):
way more milk than we ever could consume. And there
was going to be this big collapse. So then the
government started buying cheese from dairy farmers and storing it
inside a mountain in Missouri or something right in Missouri. Yeah,
and then and then Reagan came in after that and
(14:58):
was like, now we got to all we got to
get rid of all this cheese. So government, that's that's
where the government cheese came from, right, Yeah, very affordable cheese.
And also the majority of cheese for pizza chain restaurants
comes from government cheese. So Domino's, Papa John's, those are
(15:21):
the big ones who buy most of their cheese from
the government.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
And so then Bill Clinton comes in and Bill Clinton
creates what is called the Dairy Council.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Nice.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Uh, And this is from an article in the farm
Link Project.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
I'm reading that two three times a day. I'm printing
it out, I'm stapling it to my face. So I
just opened my eyes and it's always there.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Additionally, to help move dairy products that are less and
less in demand, the Clinton administration started Dairy Management Incorporated.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
What a delightful name. Agreed, Uh, there should be a
movie about Dairy Management Incorporated. They created it in the
nineteen nineties with an annual budget of one hundred and
forty million dollars. This offshoot of the Department of Agriculture
works to get Americans to consume more dairy Even though
the Department of Health and Human Services has conducted subvi's
(16:18):
showing dairy is not very healthy to be consumed regularly,
and thirty percent thirty six percent of Americans are lactose
intolerant my syfe. This intolerance has been proven to be
significantly higher for minority groups, with seventy five percent of
African Americans experiencing lactose intelligence intolerance, fifty one percent of
Latinos and eighty percent Asian Americans.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yes, isn't that a lot of fotino? One is a
little because I buy a lot of Mexican food in
Los Angeles, and they do not skimp on the cheese.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
That's Mexican American food. If you go to Mexico, there
is not much cheese stuff. Okay, this and then that
is contrasted by twenty one percent of caucade Asians. Dairy
Management Incorporated nonetheless launches campaigns like the infamous gotten Milk
ads uh and so it was a where's the quote?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I have the quote here? Uh?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Gott milk also suggestively sexual like that was part of
that campaign too. It was certainly an element to the
oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Then this was an episode This wasn't in Chowhound written
by Tim Forrester.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Oh good, he's good.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Uh abyss.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Here's a question, who invented pizza huts three cheese stuffed
crust pizza. The answer probably seems obvious, pizza hut, But
in fact that's only half the story. It actually turns
out that a collaborative effort between the US government and
American dairy farmers helped birth this incredibly cheesy pizza. To
understand how this works, you'll need to know about something
called a checkof board. These are government affiliated agriculture boards
(17:55):
that encourage public to consume more of a specific product.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Blah blah blah blah. That's what I just talked about.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
That's where ferry management comes in. It's a checkof board
helps encourage sales and consumptions dairy products. Back in the
twenty ten's, American farmers were pumping out more dairy products
than they could sell here or overseas, and that oversupply
was pushing prices painfully low. So Dairy Management in Corporated
set about inventing new ways to offload all their extra cheese,
and pizza huts three cheese stuffed crust pizza was one
(18:22):
of their big ideas. Officially speaking, Dairy Management went into
partnership with Pizza Hut to create this pizza, and it
wasn't the only time the two entities worked together. After
the three cheese crust stuffed Crust pizza and twenty thirteen,
Dairy Management helped develop the new stuffed crust pizza in
twenty eighteen and again around twenty twenty one when it
(18:42):
created a Detroit style pizza with.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Fifty more cheese.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
That's so much previous rectangular pies. Pizza Hut isn't the
only chain that Dairy Management has worked with either, as
Taco Bells, Casa Lupa, and Domino's Pepper only stuffed cheesy
bread we're also products of similar partnerships with Dairy Management Incorporated.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Blah blah blah blah. So yeah, so they've been out
there make inventing cheese products for us to consume for years,
like since the nineties, which is crazy. Now here is
Scotty we got all that information.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
It went in one year and stayed in there.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Now here's the here's the here's the twist. Baby, Okay,
there's yet another twist.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Now.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
This was on Scott's Pizza Tours dot Com by Scott Weiner.
I'm assuming that's the Scott of Scott's Pizza Tours and
he writes the true origin of stuffed crust pizza. Uh,
we just heard the most incredible story on the Brooklyn
Magazine podcast thanks to a tip from SPT guide.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
That's Scott's Pizza Tour guide.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Amy, no other last name given, just apparently. Apparently there's
a guy in Brooklyn who claims to have invented stuffed
crust pizza and his story is incredible. And now what
you're thinking, didn't Pizza Hup come up with it in
the nineteen nineties. Theirs must be the most well known version,
but anthy Mangiello, the son of a cheese industry professional,
(20:17):
did it first. He even sued Pizza Hut for one
billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Interesting.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
You can learn Mangiello's whole story by watching the new
documentary Stolen Doe. It's an incredibly story about food, intellectual property,
and pride. He doesn't go much more into the he
just tells us to go watch the documentary and guess what.
Much like Scott's Pizza Tours.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
I also did not watch it, and I have not
can't get ring in about this, but I bet you
it was a a case. I don't know. Maybe they
did steal it. I wouldn't put it above him dairy
management Incorporated and stealing.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Maybe it also falls under. Eventually we were gonna get there.
I mean, you look at a pizza, You look at
the crust, it you think, could I put cheese inside
that crust?
Speaker 1 (21:06):
It's yeah, it's like it's probably her first thought when
getting stoned in eating pizza.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yeah. There was a TV pilot that Rob Anderson did
once called Ideas, and it was just that it was
the comedians getting high and just coming up with ideas,
and it's.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
A great idea.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
It probably would have been a great YouTube series turned something.
But that is damn good. I think I have reversed.
I used to be lactose sensitive. I was never intolerant,
but I had reversed it.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Oh you have yeah? I did you have to eat cheese?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Yeah? Yeah, I don't eat it. I die if I
don't eat cheese and drink milk. I have gyri and
I shit my pants constantly. So curses on me bad
Uno reverse guard there, No, but I did because back
in New York, I was like, you know, it's so
much dairy and stuff there, and I just hated. I
just felt bad all the time, felt like uncomfortable at
(21:55):
the time. Cut dairy, it all went away, did that
for a long time, and then I read that you
can like increment only start bringing Derek back in your
life and build up whatever it is lack tais and enzymes.
And I did it, and so now it's like I
enjoy it and have zero issues. And it just took
like ten years or eight years of slowly getting incremental
(22:15):
more and more and more. Now kidding me, yeah, if
I'm not eating fom do, I'm just blowing it out
both ends.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
That's what it is.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
I mean we learned that with Gus because Gus was
like he lacked those Like first we we were like,
he's lactose intolerant, but then also he might also have
this allergy of this of milk casein, and then we're like, oh,
we shouldn't be giving him cheese, but literally cheese in
every single thing that a child is offered at any
birthday party, any outing, anywhere you just go over somebody's house,
(22:46):
it's always pizza.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
And so we.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Always felt bad about like give it, like letting him
have somebody wanted it so bad because it's cheese and
it tastes good, and so we would like give in
and then and then the doctor was like, oh, yeah,
of course you have to let him do it, because
if he doesn't, then it'll really become an issue. Like
he just has to be slightly uncomfortable all the time
in order for this to like go away at something.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
You're going, yeah, well.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
You know, when he becomes a middle aged man, he'll
just be chiming down on it like me. So it's
gonna be worth it in every way. We were talking
about pizza while back, and we were trying to find
Ilio's pizza, which was such an eighties staple, and I
could not find it in Los Angeles. I went to Ralphs,
I went to Johnson, went to Bonds.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
I know it still exists though, because I definitely saw
it recently and I was like, oh, I'm gonna get
some Ilios and I didn't pick it up, though.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Damn well, in the future, that'll be a I bet
it's on the East Coast more. I bet it'll be
over there.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
A lot more so. In conclusion, folks, there's a giant
mountain that's filled with cheese that the government bought and
now the government is forcing you to eat stuff crust pizza.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
There you go. And I think it is that episode.
I think that was in the Bridget Everett episode because
I do her being like, oh, I'm from there. I
had never heard of this, and she's either from Missouri
or Kansas, or.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
She's from Kansas, yeah, or Manhattan, Kansas.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
There you go, so oh yeah, that's where her show
takes place.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
A great show, great show, What a vibe show, What
a vibe show. We were just like enjoy watching it
because of the vibes.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
But yeah, there's cheese buried in the middle of the country.
Go get you some government cheese. Pier's one sent from
Breaking Wind podcast. That's my Sam from England. We'll shout
out Sam. Hey hung out once at the Golden Gopher
in downtown LA. Had a beer.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Hell yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
And I don't think they do that podcast anymore else
if I might be incorrect, But what it was was
they watched Twilight every week for a year. The movie Twilight.
I think it was like Breaking Dawn or whatever, which
is great, just fun and dumb. And so it's called
the Breaking Wind podcast, and here it is oh, this
is a feeld good one. I thought we would start
(24:57):
with our start mind with a field good one. A
random text message ended up in happily Ever after this
was in the BBC, I think all my stories are
from that British broadcasting company or channel or whatever that
stands for Tanya Gupta and Charlotte Benton. Ooh, that duo
(25:17):
best in the damn business.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
That's what really hard.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
When Donovan Shears sent a text message to a random
number in nineteen ninety eight, it changed the course of
his life. This is why I looked back at my
Gmail to see what my first one was. Okay, he
had been given his first mobile phone for his eighteenth
birthday and had just discovered text messaging. What an innocent time.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Yeah right, remember that when you first discovered text messaging
and it was.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
So difficult because it was a abcccab DFF.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yeah, hated it didn't understand it would just think just
call me, And now the reverse is true. If you
call me without texting first, assume the worst.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
No, no, no, it's now become no.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
It's now reversed again for me because I don't text
without speaking my text.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Into my phone.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Oh so it's.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Like I'm calling you, but I'm sending you a text.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Also to the people who talk on speakerphone with their
iPhone that's held flat in front of your face, what's
going on in your life?
Speaker 1 (26:20):
What's going on happening? What? What?
Speaker 3 (26:23):
What part of you just thinks that you exist in
a vacuum of no other human beings. I saw somebody
do it face timing on the elevator and it was like,
we're in a fucking elephant, like right next to you.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
It is outrageous.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
At least FaceTime, I understand the camera, but when it's
speakerphone and then they hold it flat like they're about
to bite any Claire in front of their face, and
it's like you don't want to hold it up to
your ear for some reason. And it's it's funny because
it defies all stereotypes. It's not rich people, it's not
never people. It's not white people, it's not white people.
(27:00):
It's there's just a certain group of psychopaths that talk
speaker phone and hold it so specifically, and in my life,
they've never said anything interesting. They've never been like, okay,
now put the kidney on ice. I'm on my way
I'm going to walk you through this. It's always just
like uh huh, who did what? Hah? That's crazy, And
(27:22):
then you're like, man, this, I wish I could make
that phone explode right now. Okay. He had been given
his first mobile phone on his eighteenth birthday and it
just discovered text messaging. He made up random numbers and
sent off messages saying hello, to which one his future wife, Kirsty,
(27:44):
wrote back high. So he just sent to a random
number hello, and then a woman wrote back high.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
How old was Kirsty at the time.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
That's a great question. I hope she was eighteen. Also,
that single moment led to over twenty years of love,
laughter and partnership. They said. Out of several messages to
unknown numbers that he sent from the Coventry pub where
he was working that night, Kirsty in Cleithorps was the
only one to reply on now, come on now, cle
(28:15):
Thorps c l E E t h O r p
E sorps.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Just like it's spelled Kirsty, And what's that My name's Cleethorps.
Just said, just like it's spelled.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Yeah, you're walking kind of weird. Oh well, you know,
I went on vacation and came back with a nasty
case of Cleethorp's. Fast forward four years, the couple were
getting married in Scotland, where Kirsty's from. Now they have
two children, aged six and nine. Kirstie said they she
replied to Donovan's message thinking of someone she knew, but
just she hadn't saved their number in her phone.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Nice speaking to what is? Kids named you up?
Speaker 2 (28:57):
And yeah?
Speaker 1 (29:01):
What's another tech common text phrase?
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Yel d L Yeah, well just down low you know
you up? And yeah asl H sex location the old
chat room stand by. So hard to lie to that,
So hard to deceive to that one, Kirsty said, you replied,
blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Speaking to BBC, they remembered how they first met at
the Coventry Railroad station and went on their first date
at the well known city nightclub, the Coliseum, which is
now called the Kasba.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
All right, seems like it would go the other way, honestly,
it really does. Seems like Kasba is more popular.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Twenty years ago and Colums are more popular now, but
who you know, things are always changings.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Are different in old England town. Donovan said, I started
sending messages, random text messages and showing them off to
my friends. I just picked the first four digits as
mine and the last three digits randomly. It was probably
about five or six different numbers, and then I didn't
think of anything of it. Kirsty said we would text
throughout the day, and then obviously it became more and
more frequent, to the point where we decided we should
(30:09):
phone each other. Wow, we were texting each other so much.
My phone bill was over two hundred and fifty pounds
a month. That's not cheap. Also, it used to be
only free texting nights and weekend, so you would wait
for six o'clock to click over and then you're like
text text X. But texting used to be so expensive?
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Oh yeah, it was like ten cents. Was it like
ten cents a text?
Speaker 2 (30:32):
I think so. I think I can remember them advertising
that it was just like seven cents a text message,
and like, I gotta get on that deal. But also,
were they just ripping us off so bad?
Speaker 1 (30:43):
It doesn't cost anything to send text.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
There's not a crew of men holding oars in the
bottom of a shit rowing every time a text message.
Just said.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
What pieces as shit?
Speaker 3 (30:56):
That they were just like that's a new thing. Yeah,
charged by the text. That's how we do it because
we're getting our nut.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
We're singular wireless kiss r butts uh So I think
that's when I decided we should call. Feelings started to
develop and she's got the most beautiful Scottish accent, which
attracted me to her as well. That's cute.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Look at that. You gotta be a specific person. You
got to shoot your shot to find a Scottish accent.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Sexy, it's it's different.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
No, I understand different. It can be. Don't know. I've
met many. Yes, no, it can be sexy.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
It can be. It can be you certainly can be.
The pair eventually met up six months after the first
text message was sent. I said to my stepsister, I've
got to go meet this guy. And she was like,
he could be anyone and I was like, yes, I know,
but I was eighteen and didn't really think about consequences.
(31:56):
Kirsty said, So two eighteen year olds there it is.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
So it's amazing. And they could and send a photo
now you know. They just sent like an all ASKI
kind of.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Like interpretation of what they look like, just kind of
like a square box with eyes and smiles.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yeah, I'm six' five swimmers build hung like a. RHINOCEROS
i said to, oh, Yeah i've got A so this
Is kirsty, SAYS i just got on a train and
came To. Coventry donovan said he was scared to make
the first, move But kirsty was much more assured and
the rest is. History he. SAID i remember coming back
(32:32):
from our first night out and we just cut it.
Up it was kind of magical in a.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
WAY i love.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
That, also the fact that you can just hop on
a train in THE uk and pretty much go anywhere
is so.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
AWESOME i watched to relax after a long. Day my
wife AND i gathered the children around THE tv and
we Watch escape to The, country which is Just british
people buying country. Homes so it's Like BRITISH. Hgtv and
it's so like everything's a little different and weird and
(33:06):
you get to like look at their weird houses and
and the craziest part about all of it is that
at the end they show three, houses just like ANY hgtv,
show and then at the end you just don't find
out if they bought AN.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
WHY i don't know.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
WHY i don't know if it's like about privacy laws
in THE uk or. Something there must be a very
good reason that they do not give exactly what every
single viewer wants is to find out which one they brought.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
They, Bought but you don't ever find. Out they're just
like that.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
The odds are stacked against. Them maybe they just don't
sell that, many and it's more about the adventure and
the hope of. Looking here's a big.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Deal if someone goes, to, quote look at it, again
if that's, so you might you might have a second,
Viewing and they're, like we might have a we might
have a second View but they won't commit to even
telling you if they're going to go look at it.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Again it's so weird.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Anyway point being is they're looking at these like Little
british villages that are, like you, know they look like
they're like they're still in the fifteenth, century and they're,
like and of course the train is right.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Here it's forty five minutes To london to Downtown.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
London it's, like it's, crazy my, goodness so trains damn.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
It why it seems like the thing that we should
all be able to agree on it's so. Peaceful, Yes
and it doesn't matter if you're a red state or blue.
State you get to sit, Still you get to, eat,
drink look at your, phone talk on your speakerphone like
in A claire in front of your, face or like
you're about to blow off an old chalk board, eraser
(34:47):
and watch the country roll by at a fast paced
with no. Traffic how can't we agree ON?
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Tv we agree on? This my. God the amount of
people get mad of having high speed rail is.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
We already have it. Cleared this country was built on.
Railroads there are tracks going. Everywhere they just need to
be refurbished or, rebuilt but they're already. Laid it's crazy
to me that we can't because if there was high speed,
TRAIN i would just go to places Like, Denver, Chicago.
SEATTLE i would just go places, Like, hey it's a
ten hour train, ride but we'll be In chicago by tomorrow.
(35:25):

Speaker 4 (47:28):
MAN i Get Matt damon And Mark wahlberg confused all the.
TIME i had a joke off my first album which,
says which was do you think do you Think Mark
wahlberg is an alternate Universe Matt damon where everyone's born
with fetal alcohol syndroke, man that's so?
Speaker 2 (47:46):
Crazy, yes the answer is, Yes, damn that's so. Funny,
Yeah Mark, WAHLBERG i THINK I i Think i'd rather
chill With Matt, damon to be, HONEST i think he's
probably a tough. Decision. MORE i think he's a little more,
fun And i'd rather Take Jesse plemons over both of.
Speaker 1 (48:04):
Them so they, oh Definitely Jesse plemons one thousand.
Speaker 3 (48:07):
PERCENT i think it's a tough decision Between Matt damon
And Mark wahlberg BECAUSE i Think Matt damon is also cuckoo,
balls so it seems.
Speaker 1 (48:15):
Like they're two cuckoo.
Speaker 2 (48:16):
Kids He i've had two experiences With Mark, wahlberg one,
direct one. Indirect the indirect one WAS i was dating
woman in twenty, ten and she was doing press, junkets
like when they interview people before, movies and part of
being AN a list celebrities in your, contract you have
to do a certain amount of press to promote the.
Movie and some are great at. It Will ferrell's apparently,
(48:37):
great and some are. Terrible and Apparently Mark wahlberg is
famously one of the, worst horrible interview like he's final
chat shows Like conan And kimmel and all. That but
so this girl was, dating was doing The. Fighter it
was A Mark Wahlberg Christian bale boxing, movie and so
the junk press junket producer gives her the cards and
(48:58):
she has to, say, like you up In, boston was
it easy to do the? Accent you know all those.
Things he's giving one word answers the whole. Time he's
just literally doing the bare minimum contractual. Interview so then
she asks, him have you ever been in a? Fistfight
how many? Times and he, goes, yeah a billion. Times
(49:20):
it just says that's the only time he said more
than one. Word have you ever been in a? Fight?
Yeah a billion? Times so THEN i was, Like, okay
maybe this guy's. Funny and then in twenty. SEVENTEEN i
was the host head writer When Adam devin hosted THE
MTV Tv Movie. Awards, yeah and it was great and
we had a great experience and we met a lot
(49:41):
of nice people and wrote funny bits for, celebrities and
we wrote a whole chunk For Mark wahlberg to read
because he was presenting an award It transformers something or
other was coming, out and he came, out skipped the
entire joke speech, anything walked on stage five minutes before
our got, stage five minutes before you're supposed to go,
(50:01):
on walks on just goes movies or blah blah. Blah
this next one is up for Best acting in. Whatever
Transformers The Fallen soldiers come Out july, sixteenth and then
walked off. Stage just said it, monotone no, jokes didn't say,
anything just said when the movie came, out and said
the name of the award and walked off. Stage didn't,
(50:21):
smile didn't, wave didn't, laughed and bowed just it.
Speaker 1 (50:25):
Was he had to get back to his seven foot,
crucifix in his glowing crucifix in his living. Room have
you seen that? Thing have you seen the videos of?
Him he's like every, Day i'd kneel in front of
my seven foot diamond glowing crucifies and that's what the,
gaudiest craziest. Thing it was, Like, okay cool, buddy.
Speaker 2 (50:46):
And that's what the son Of jod. Deserves it is
something that looks like it should be on the front
of a pimps car from a movie made in nineteen seventy.
