Easter Island is a territory controlled by Chile.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
I don't realize that.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
I mean it's west of there. I don't think it's
quite big enough, at least population wise, to be its
own country. But then again, Vatican City. Yeah, but anyways.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah, besides the famous landmark on Easter Island, I don't
really know much about its history or culture or anything,
so I should study.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
Up thor Heyerdahl was the one who built the raft
called the Kantiki. It was like a Polynesian style raft
that he sailed to Easter Island because people said it
couldn't be done and that people couldn't have sailed there
and populated the island and blah blah blah, and he

(17:32):
did it to basically prove everybody wrong. And he did.
That's great, and then he wrote books about it and stuff.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
I want to be an adventurer, Actually I don't.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
Yeah, I don't know about that.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
I like the idea of it, but then I wouldn't
be very good at it.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
I think there's a reason that all adventurers throughout history
were rich kids.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yeah, I mean, if you can fund your own because
I was just like, I don't want to raise the money.

Speaker 3 (18:02):
Well, you're probably well off to begin with, but then
you get a sponsor from an even richer kid, and
then yeah, just kind of go from there.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
If you want to sponsor our adventure that we don't
want to go on. Just kidding.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
I don't even know what's left to adventure.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
Yeah, I guess the ocean and stuff, but I wouldn't
want to do that.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
I'm not gonna not gonna go looking for the El Dorado, No,
because screw that heat. I don't want to go looking
for a yetti because uh, screw that cold. Yeah, what's
a nice temperate adventure we could.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
We want to go somewhere that's comfortable near a hotel.

Speaker 3 (18:53):
What hasn't been discovered in like southern Minnesota. That's kind
of a good.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
We'll go adventuring there.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
Maybe there's some golden Oregon or something that. Or you
can just shoot me into space.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
I guess, go check out Mars.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
It's been done. I'll go fly into a black hole.
