Speaker 1 (00:00):
I don't expect anybody to know who this guy is,
and I don't expect anybody to know of his show.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's from overseas. It's British.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
The guy's name is Bruce pa r r Y Pari
Perry Pari Pari, Bruce Pary.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
And he used to host a show on the BBC.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
It was a series called Tribe. Okay, now here's what
I like about it, and then I'll tell you why
it's in the why it's in the news. So Tribe
is he would embed himself with indigenous people.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
This is like your dream.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
I love this. I love this. So he would find
these indigenous tribes all around the world.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
And I don't.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Know what the I don't know what the how he
became welcomed, but he did.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
How he sort of infiltrated you mean.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah, no, no, But it wasn't like he just showed
up and was like, we're not with a camera crew. Yeah,
and and it's very small, very very small, and he said,
you know, we did our best to not change how
they live. So it wasn't like it wasn't like like
we know, for example, this is a horrible example, I understand,

(01:27):
but like when you watch Survivor.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
The can I can I finish my explanation?

Speaker 3 (01:35):
These tribes see no, no, dan no and they speak yes.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
And one woman is from Cleveland.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
No no, no, please may I so in Survivor. And
I don't mean because of the tribes they do get buffs,
but in the no no, but like you've seen them
living out like in the in the elements, elements, right,
but Jeff probes in everybody is in like luxury tents

(02:05):
and everything a mile away.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
So what I mean is the what's going on out
there outside the door? Yeah, what's going on? Are we
just handing out national promotions again?

Speaker 3 (02:17):
No?

Speaker 2 (02:18):
The the you get distracted? Yeah for a moment I
did so. But the it's not like he is set up.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
It's not like this this PARTI guy is set up
a mile away and a Jeff Probs.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
A tent assimilates. He assimilates with that. But he's not disguised,
is he?

Speaker 1 (02:37):
No?

Speaker 2 (02:37):
No, no, And they know he's disguised.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Here's I'm gonna show you a picture of him with
two indigenous tribesmen and they're teaching him how to throw
I can't even call it a spear, it's a it's
a whittled stick to try to help.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
Well, you're looking for the photo. I will point out
that you struggled with the pronunciation of the guy's name, right,
so it does. That doesn't tell me anything about Wait,
do we have to.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Pick which one is Bruce Parry? You tell me which
one's Bruce guy in the middle. Okay, thank you. I
don't know if it's safe to make that assumption. It's
one the guy in the middle.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
You have a caption anyway, No, no, But what I'm
saying is I don't know.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
I don't know how the approach was made.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
And it's not like other tribes were like, oh I
saw this, I saw the series.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
This is fantastic.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
But these aren't uncontacted tribes that he was first contact.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yeah, no, no, no, no, it's not like the ones
that we saw like within the last month or so.
But no, they live they live a very very simple,
very simple life.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
In terms of what they're around.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
And so anyway, he said, we we try to minimize
the footprint as much as possible, and so he after
a while, he did, he did, he did a number
of seasons of tribe.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
He had to walk away. It's like I couldn't I
can't do this anymore.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
It was too much, not that it was too much
of like what he saw and what he experienced, because
he also he wasn't just there as a voyeur. He
also wanted to live like them. So like he talks
about in what with one tribe he had to strangle
a goat for for like a sacrifice. Yeah, no, he said,

(04:25):
it got to it got to weigh on his mind
too much where it was like I would leave and
then go back and be like you know, driving, and
like he was like, I really because for a lot
of these tribes, it is they don't want to disturb
the earth.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
The earth is their home. And it started to weigh on.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Him and he was like I just I really needed
a break to get away from it. So anyway, he
was reapproached by the BBC and they said, hey, we
want to do this again and see how it's different.
And it's been years.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yes, how far back does this go? I'm trying to remember.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
It ran from two thousand and five till two thousand
and seven originally, so sometime and now what is that
eighteen years later he's been approached to do it again.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Less Oh uh uh? Did you use your teams. No,
I just really moved my face away.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
I totally forgot about him as it was coming on
because I'm focused on speaking.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Oh, just like when you noticed the kerfuffle outside.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Right, Oh, we're handing out national promotions again to worthless,
meaningless people. Anyway, the where was I got distracted agains
because Kristen will stop laughing. No, no, So anyway, so
he's come back and they wanted to see how have
these tribes changed in the last let's call fifteen years.

(05:54):
And so he's going back in and he's looking forward
to it and he's already started filming.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Oh he said yes, oh, yeah, he's doing he's doing it.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
And he said that he's in a much better place
in his own life where he realizes he can't he
can't live like they did, but he can minimize maybe
how how much he does certain things. But he drives again,
but he's careful. But anyway, that's on him, right whatever,
that's fine. So they were interviewing him about what he's

(06:24):
done in the past and the upcoming show and all
of that, and he said there were two things that
he was never able to do when he assimilated and
lived with these tribes. And again he said he drank,
he drank some. He called it some vomit inducing blend
of a drink.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
He has no idea what it was. Is that like
some sort of like rite of passage. Now, no, it
was just that's what they drank. He said.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
I've watched I've watched kids get circumcised, and you can't like, you're, you're, you're.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
I don't think he did the circum but he was like,
you can't go.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
You know, at least at least the Jews are feeding
them a ton of wine, so there's none of that.
I say, he strangled a goat. Now, I guess in
the grand scheme of things I could, I could not
do that. I could not choke it down. I mean,
if it was attacking me, yes, but just just because no,

(07:26):
I'll go to the organic butcher.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Well you wondered if it was for a sustenance, but
in many cases it's just for good luck.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
This one, this one said, they sacrificed it. So I
don't know if that means and then ate it or whatever.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
But I couldn't do that.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
I couldn't squeeze the Again, if I'm being attacked or something,
fine or my kids are so anyway, there were two
instances where he said he couldn't go along with the tribe.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
One of them he said no, right off the bat.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
The other one he tried to do, but he had
to stop halfway through because he almost passed.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Out from it. Dear God.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
The one he said no to right off the bat
was and I don't he doesn't really explain other than
that the thing like it was, it was part of
the culture of this tribe. He would have to knock
out his front to top teeth and his front two
bottom teeth. I don't know why, and they don't say why,
but that was the tribe's thing. And I don't think
they went to dentist tribe dental man like they knock

(08:34):
him out and he's like, I can't do that.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
So that one he said no to, right off the bat,
what was the other one? I want to make sure
I have it right. I know what it is, but
I want to make sure rituals. God damn it, where

(08:58):
did I put it? I can tell you what it is.
It's not outside the door, right. I feel like there
was some sort of activity. We're just handing out national
promotions again. But that's Okay, they're not impact. I gotta
find it anyway. I can tell you what it was.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
The tribe and remember he was doing it, but he
had to stop because he was going to pass out.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
They pushed the penis back inside the body.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
Huh they pushed the penis, Harry, he said, back inside
the body. How I'm guessing with their hand Kristin, what
did you just do? It's not with a stick. I
don't want Kristin doing mine. You treated it like you

(09:50):
were trying to get the goat away that Elliot's thinking
about having to kill for self defense.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
So a couple of things. What like is that? I haven't?
I have a thought?

Speaker 3 (10:04):
Why, oh you understand the spirituality behind the practice.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
I have a guess I don't. They don't explain, don't.
But he said, also, I feel like, what are you doing?
I'm pushing on my penis? What hard does you get?
But why does that make you? Why does that?

Speaker 3 (10:26):
Well?

Speaker 2 (10:26):
I mean, I'm just pushing it up against my my fupa.
But what is? What is? Why is you're doing the
jame dumm?

Speaker 1 (10:35):
That's why does that make you pass out?

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Elliott? I don't think you've accomplished it yet? Now you
said you're pushing it up against your No, but I'm
like just pushing in. But I'm not like the Kristin
Kristen Kristen.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Kristen's arm movement is like she's starting a pull cord mower.
I don't know what you're doing. Well, you don't shove
it in like that. First of all, how freaking long
do you think it is?

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Thank you? I don't understand.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
But the only thing that I thought was, is it
so that like you're not walking around like to curb
sexual urges?

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Well, if you're in pain, I bet that would curb
your urge.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
No? No, well yes, but the but is it so
like you're naked and somebody else is naked, but you're
not walking around bonered up?

Speaker 2 (11:27):
That's a natural reaction.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Why even for a tribe, you don't think they see
bagoon and they're like, yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Let's get it. They have kids. No, that wouldn't be
my guess. Why what's your guess? Just so it is
an ending? But you still got two balls hanging there?

Speaker 3 (11:47):
Well, I was gonna first ask are we just talking shaft?
That's a good question, he said, penis right, Well, that's
not my penis because it does seem like you're dealing
with three lock box and it all could get in
the way of an activity.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
You refer to it as flopping. Is that the word
you used? What your testicles?

Speaker 1 (12:13):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah, no, well yeah, they're just flopping down there.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
So that I feel like would still pose the same
problems you would have if it was just the penis.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
There is no way I'm tucking my nuts in hey
and leaving my penis out.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
But did he stop halfway meaning I got you know
how ridiculous that would look like? Did he get all
screwed him? But he couldn't get the penis? That's his
halfway there?

Speaker 1 (12:42):
But he said that, why would it make you? Why
would it make you pass out? I am pushing on
this thing, like.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Why you're not completing the task.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
But it's not even making me feel like I'm going
to pass out, Like I'm not even feeling lightheaded or
getting tunnel vision or anything.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
That's because you love the joke about pushing and pulling
it fifty times. Oh you're thinking pleasure not pain.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
Hey, if you want to have sex tonight, pull on
it once. Great old joke. Why so am I wrong?

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Is it? If? If you've got to like, isn't it
a never mind? Elliott? I'm trying to see if there
were recaps.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
Did Entertainment Weekly do recaps of this like they do
Bachelor and Bachelorette?

Speaker 2 (13:28):
I don't think when it originally aired.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
I don't think so for the mere you know, like this,
oh bachelor party tried tucking his uh, his penis into
his body.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
Oh uh, this is not related to his tribe.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Here it is here, it is here.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
It is the first time I said no in my
whole TV career was when my dear friend in New
Guinea tried to push my penis back inside my body
and he got halfway. I nearly fainted and said no
more so someone else had to do it. Is that
like you can't crack a bottle over your own head.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
So this reads that the practice is done to help
with movement through the jungles.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
I don't get it. It's even like swinging from ropes
and stuff, well vines, Oh my god, it's not tarzan.
I run and my penis is out. Do they all
have loin like ELTs?

Speaker 4 (14:35):
No?

Speaker 2 (14:36):
But I'm being serious. Penile inversion. I gave you a
scientific name, and that's too much for you to handle it.
I'd rather have your transplant on my face.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
We had to watch you ug and shove you're groin
for five minutes and wonder why it didn't hurt because
you weren't actually a near accomplishing it.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
So that makes me faster.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
By the way, if I had a kid coming up
right now now, like in uh like cross country.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
It's funny one if his his issue wasn't just well
I guess, yeah, so pain was a part of it.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
Wait, so it's painful.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
Well, but also what he explains was a big surprise
to him, and he said, this is one of those
stereotypical things that you you don't like to subscribe to.
But he turned out to have the largest penis there.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Thank you?

Speaker 3 (15:37):
Did he put his hand up? Hey, the tribe is
spoken really okay?

Speaker 2 (15:46):
But is that.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
Well, I don't like, are you the best smelling turred
in the bowl or is it dramatically different?

Speaker 3 (15:56):
Or have they done structural damage with this practice?

Speaker 2 (16:00):
I mean that's Oh, so he was bigger than all
the innies. Well, god damn, I'm bigger than all them too.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
Well, I don't know, Bruce right in, Yeah, because they've
been doing it for years.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
Meantime, this guy's this guy's venus is touching his spine.
I'm out a quarter of an inch, but I look
like a goddamn monster.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
Whatever you're gonna say, they think and swing.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
I'd rather be slow and hung, it says. And then
you wrap what's left still appearing with a leaf, So
you're not you're not nude, but you are?

Speaker 2 (16:40):
You are, you're not nude? You're not? Then going through
and hunting or no, no, I understand that. What do
you mean? What do you mean you wrap it with
a leaf? There is still a covering to cover the
hole or anything that's left. Yeah, except if there's something
on the surface. Oh what is that?

Speaker 1 (17:02):
Look?

Speaker 3 (17:02):
I'm sorry you read this last night and just totally
thought it was an interesting fact and that it wasn't.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
A little I didn't get me all of that. You're
the biggest one.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Absolutely. I would walk around be like, oh god, damn,
who stole my pants? Oh well, some movies, Elliot the morning.

Speaker 5 (17:30):
Hey.

Speaker 4 (17:30):
I had to scrub my husband's tea one time when
he had a heart attack, and I scrubbed it so hard.
You've been over here. I had a bad.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
Because people don't hear it she's gonna start over now.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
Sorry, she's got to keep it medically.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Yeah, ma'am, it's a penis. Let's go with penis. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (17:54):
Well we were in the hospital, you know, so, yeah,
that's what the nurse called it.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
So so you after three days, you scrubbed his penis
and he said, and he jumped back and said, just
jumped in my stomach.

Speaker 4 (18:12):
He said, his d went up in his stomach. But
you know, the skin was still there, and I didn't
have a leaf to wrap it in. But you know,
I'm laughing. I thought it was hysterical.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
But could you still see could you still see his
wig and berries? Yeah? Yeah, okay, so.

Speaker 4 (18:33):
In his mind deep in three days too.

Did you want to see Yeah, you can see his
penis here clearly if you'd like, Yeah, I see it

No, it's enormous.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
Oh so he he just had to completely he stopped. Stop.
They weren't able to wrap the leaf with the progress
they had.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
Wimpy wimpy, But you're saying of all this stuff he
did over the course of however, many episodes.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
That and getting his teeth knocked out where the pasted
on the teeth he tried.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
This guy has all of his different tribe tribe, although
based on what I hear about Bruce, this guy's gonna
get his teeth knocked out.

Speaker 3 (23:12):
And based on all the impressions I heard, he did
dozens of different tribes.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
All I know is if I look down and that's
the face while you're pushing my penis in my body.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
Uh uh, well, they try to make you comfortable.

Speaker 3 (23:28):
Right when I got my scrotal ultrasound, she didn't have
resting bitch face.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
Okay, but was she smiling like that.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
God, no, I'm bummed out that we didn't get a
better like a better camera view.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
You saw a full wang. No, he wants to know
of the pushing. Oh yeah, yeah, actual, because I'll tell
you what.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
Like that guy didn't look like like I know you've
never gotten a physical, but the like for a guy. Okay,
but like when like when my doctor gives me a physical. Well,
first of all, he's not smiling like that, but like
or kneeling, but like it's gentle, right, like when they
when they got to touch your nuts.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
When you call it's gentle, this guy is. He just
gets right to it. Well, he's done a million outums.
He seemed more pain than my underwear.
