Speaker 1 (00:00):
Bananimals. We record Bananas episodes a week or two weeks
in advance, so we recorded this week's episode before the election.
If we seem pleasantly unfazed, we were.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
And you know the goal of our podcast is, and
you know always will be to promote silliness at all costs,
and that is exactly what we're going to continue to do.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Everyone is welcome here, no matter who you love or
how you look, You're safe with us, and we will
try and make you laugh.

forever was. We look forward to recording literally every single
episode and to celebrating the absurd as best friends.

care of your hearts, take care of your people. We're
not giving up, and neither should you.

And no matter how weird this world gets, we're keeping
it bananas for you, for us, for anyone who needs it.
All right, Scott, you ready.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Oh I'm ready to laugh and love and go. La Dodgers,
congratulations on winning the World Series of Baseball a week
or two ago.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
And Love, I don't have this title. I'd want the
I want there to be a reveal for this, okay,
So I will just say and I did see one
headline as this, So here's the headline, Scottie.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Okay, hooters.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
And it'll make sense.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
That's okay. Well, there's two big reasons to stick around
and listen to this amazing episode of Bananas.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Your worlds. Would you mind? Resilient pieces?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Would you?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Guys, goals, non binary pals. Welcome to a very a
very special episode of Bananas. A very special solo episode
of Bananas. I'm staring at a man, yeah, who's known
as the greatest screenwriter in America. He is standing in
front of a floor to ceiling image of I don't
(02:28):
think it's pipeline.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
It's not. I think it's sunset beach.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Maybe, yeah, because the shape of the waves a little
more almond than pipeline would be. But just a beautiful
breaking wave, a huge barrel.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Scottie Landis KURTI b you. You're everybody's favorite, and you
know when the rapture comes, you're going first, because they're
going to need a stand up comedian to welcome people
through those pearly gates, and it's gonna be you. And
I also know, as a former Catholic schoolboy. You be
great doing just riftogging with Saint Pete to your left
(03:03):
and all the other fake religions to your right. Just
everybody hanging out and you're welcoming them in with a
good guffall because.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Once you get to heaven, yeah you can say fuck
and shit and curse or scent because you're in heaven.
You already made it. Like if the whole reason you're
not cursing is so that you can go to heaven
once you're there, I hope you are cutting a blue
rug if that is.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Yeah, it is. I know. It would be so funny
if it does exist. And if I somehow sneak in
the side window, I'll be like, man, I was wrong.
I was so wrong about this. I am going to
do the panic thing with two seconds to go before
they pull the plug. Oh yeah, I'm going to be
like I believe and then just hope for the best.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I know. So it is you just do last rights right,
and you know what, let's do last rights.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Fire them up, Padre. I want to get in there
just in case this whole forgiveness thing is real. But yeah,
how was a trick or treating? Was it so fun?
Did you guys get a lot of candy. Also, what
is your kids? What is what are your kid's favorite?
Two candies?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
The kids are well, uh, alf doesn't really like chocolate
and she doesn't like peanut butter, so she'll sometimes have chocolate,
but she prefers, you know, the big The big ticket
item this year was gummy cluster nerds.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Oh, I've heard that's nerd cluster.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah. And but also and then Gus's favorite chalcol is
probably like anything chocolate. He just loves it all pretty much.
I don't think he has a favorite yet. We we
try and get him to, we like, what's your favorite,
and he just likes kind of like goes. I don't know.
But I bought I bought the full sized candy bars
at Costco good for you, two boxes twenty bucks nineteen
(05:01):
ninety nine each. That's fine, forty bucks. Forty bucks is not.
I feel a ton to spend on to make dreams
come true candy. And that was from five thirty to eight,
and we still had some left and I put them
out because then we had the kids were going to bed,
so I closed the door so I would say successful
and to be the house with the big candy.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Bars Yeah, that's what you want to be.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I also feel like it's getting more common it used
to be. I mean it was a myth when I
was a child, it was a myth. I remember saying
like that that house has them. People would talk about it,
and then you would go up and they wouldn't answer
the doorbell.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, there was a person in our neighborhood and one
year they handed out pennies and everybody, I think some
of the other parents were like, you can't hand out
pennies to these kids. And then from there on out
they would hand out Gatorades. And when Gatorade switch from
glass bottles to plastic bottles, I think at probably sixteen ounces,
you would just go and get a full Gatorade or
a thirty two ounce Gatearaide. It was the big ones,
(06:01):
and it was just so funny to see everybody's so
dehydrated and so jacked up on sugar and then being
like I am thirsty and they're just chugging thirty two
ounces of sugar.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
It is interesting, Like we brought a water bottle and
the kids went to town on the water bottle like
the whole night, because you're they're walking for them, they're
walking an enormous amount. And then also like they're eating
candy along the way, you know that, and can sugar
makes you like thirsty, which I which I always forget
about because I don't burn it.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
It's like throwing logs on that little Chucchu train. There's
so many shoveling sugar cold just in there as fast
as they can. It's it's the greatest holiday, at least
in America because just getting dressed up always fun, walking
around with your friends, great time. And then kids like
number one favorite thing is candy, and so it's like
they're rewarding them for just doing two great things. It's
(06:52):
a whoever came up with it? The modern version extremely fun.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
There is a church down the street from my house,
and it's a it's one of those southern California churches
that are like, you know, I think they're probably pretty liberal,
you know what I mean, But there's just still like
we actually went once for Christmas, cause it's like we
just don't have a Christmas tradition anymore. You know, we
(07:18):
used to go to Catholic Mass, and it feels weird
to go to Catholic Mass now, and so we're like, okay, well,
we'll go to this one. And we went there for
for Christmas once.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
And it was just weird.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
It was weird. It was you know, it was like
they took the kids away and I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
where you taking my kids? I uh go Catholic here, Yeah,
I don't like it when you take the kids to
places I can't see. And they took them away for
like an hour and a half. The whole thing was
like two hours. It was bonkers town. And then the
(07:49):
whole homily was about like essentially like that like Jesus
is a man that you love, and it was like
that's it. It wasn't anything like helpful for your life.
It was just like bow down before the Man of Jesus.
And it just left a bad taste in my mouth. Anyway.
Point is during Halloween they have this like a full
(08:11):
frontal assault to like well to like get people in
the door to come to go to church. There they
had an entire Willy Wonka like setup where it was
like a store and everything and so but it's always
like a like they always have full sized candy bars.
They always have it's a big deal. And and so
(08:31):
Olive is just talking it up to every child she meets, like,
we gotta go to the church. And then by the
end we're like, the kids are tired. I'm trying to
get them back, and all the kids are like, we
gotta go to church, and all of these godless la parents,
We're just like, this is the first and last time
(08:52):
my child is gonna be screaming, what we gotta go
to church?
Speaker 1 (08:56):
But take out churches have a giant, king sized candy
bar for every kid that comes through your Hollywood doors,
and uh, it's not just going to go through the roof.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
But also like, that's what churches should be doing, right.
I I do applaud them for that. I do not
want to go to their place, but I do applaud
them for that. That's great. Provide stuff for the community.
That's wonderful. The kids loved it. I really enjoyed the
fact that Gus was and this was his idea. He
was just a all he wanted to be was a devil,
(09:25):
and we'd be like, what kind he'd be?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Like a bad devil?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Nice, my guy, And so he was just dressed as
a bad devil with a horrifying mask on in front
of the church, like picking out a candy bar.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
This is this is it? This is satan? That would
be so great. Did you see the new Willy Wonka
with old tim Shallomey?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Was it good? I didn't see it. Uh it was okay.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yeah, it's not bad. It's you know, it's it's like
it starts very dark.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
All kids movies now start with the darkest things that
can happen to you, deaths.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Yeah, it's galore. But also like Willy Wonka was a
little dark anyway, you know, total creep. Yeah, and so
that makes sense to me. But yeah, at the end,
by the end, I was like that it's a pretty
good movie. I don't want to heard that.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
But Timmy Shalls I just didn't seem that charismatic to me.
And then I don't know if you're going to do
this story today, But we got sent the story that
there was a Timothy shallow May lookalike contest and then
one went and now I'm like, maybe.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I like this, Maybe I like that guy. And also
he didn't win. That's fantastic he got the second place.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Then maybe I do like that guy. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I got well, So the fact that we opened with
you standing in front or sitting in front of a
giant wave. Where are you, Scotty.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I am at the north shore of Hawaii, So I was, uh, yeah, Straw,
And now we're going to go to Asheville, North Carolina
to hang out with Mamory Hart, who is staying down
there because I tricked her. True. Well, you know this.
We I hand out candy with Mamory. We have for
about eight or nine years now, and then the last
six years besides COVID year, we get a margarita machine
(11:15):
where we hand out frozen margaritas to all the parents
and candied all the kids. And it's a highlight of
my year. And then Mamory uh was there after the
hurricane and the flooding and had to make a great escape,
and so these plans got canceled and it was like,
let's go let's not h I don't know if this
(11:36):
would be lemonade, let's go make pina coladas.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
So, I mean that's a gorgeous idea. I'm so happy
you did that.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Yeah. Facts, And it's just a three nighter or yeah,
three nights, four days or whatever. But this is where
we shot a TV show that I worked on and
so everything's nicer now. They fixed everything up. But it's
just it's so relaxing as I eat bowls, pokey bowls, yeah,
you name it. But yeah, just a quickie. And it
was fun to celebrate, like I am a Dodgers fan
(12:04):
and went to the lots of bars and watched my friends,
and it was fun to come out here. And as
you can see, I'm wearing a Dodgers hat and everybody's
here like go blue. And you realize the only people
here in October are I live.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
In l Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Yeah, all the families are waiting for Christmas and winter
holidays and New Year's and so right now it's just
a nice sleepy time. Tomorrow morning I might take a
lay making class, learn how to make a lay.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I love that. That is fantastic, Thanks buddy.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
So and you're going away right I am.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I'm going away on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Where are you going?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Well, I will by the time this comes out, I
will have already come back. But I am going to
the Shenandoah Mountains, my friends. Oh that's pretty yeah, we get.
There's these little primitive cabins off the Appalachian Trail and
Shenandoa and Shenandoah.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
To our West Virginia listeners. Yes, yes, and so.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Yeah, we're in we're in Virginia technically at this section,
and so yeah, a little primitive cabin. Inside it's got
six bunk beds and a small table. It's one room
and it's got a wood burning stove. And then outside
and this is the critical part that makes it's so
so nice. It has an outside fireplace. And we've been
(13:17):
to these cabins before with this specific friend group. This
is the friend group from Crow. You know, this is
like the Crowbros. And and it's been much needed. Last
time we went was eight years ago at this place,
and I saw a ton of black bears when I
was there. And it's just gorgeous because you have an
outside fireplace and once you get the fire cooking in there,
(13:38):
after like two three hours, that whole wall heats up
and it just radiates heat and you are never cold.
It's so so nice. It'll be like a crisp fifty
degrees every day.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Is so nice. That's a beauty. I mean, that's basically
where I'm from, and it's so beautiful in the woods
around there in the mountains that are so you know,
the only I've only had like two near death experiences,
and one was at Seneca Rocks in West Virginia. Who
I was on I was I think it was between
my freshmen and sophomore year in college. A bunch of
(14:13):
high school friends were like, we're getting a place. We're
going skiing in Canane Valley and we went skiing, but
then it was hot. It was one of those times
where we're skiing t shirts and night snow pants and
you'd have your gloves on, your mits on, and that
was kind of it. So my friends were like, well,
do you want to take a hike? And we drove
out to Seneca Rocks, which is a very beautiful hike,
and I'm talking to my friends. It's sort of single
(14:33):
track path around the side of this mountain and there's
a rock over this area and I stepped over and
like stretched my leg out and went on and my
friend behind me was like, dude, and I looked down
and was straight down like I It was like an
optical illusion where the rock I was stepping over went
to almost nowhere. WHOA and I had to like it
was crazy. I basically my left hand was on the
(14:55):
rocks and I had to pull myself back and then like,
but that would have fallen. I don't know. I won't
overestimate it, but I'll say two hundred feet maybe three
hundred feet. Yeah, And it was the first. You know,
I've been in a couple of car accidents at that point,
so it was the first one that was My bad
decision almost cost me the whole enchilada. But I pulled
the enchilada back, and that's what it's all about.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Protecting enchilada back, folks. All right, I'm so excited to
share this story, Scott. Are you ready for it?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I couldn't be more ready.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Oh my god. I have to give all the credit
to the wonderful and delightful Hannah Walling for sending this in. Hannah,
you are awesome. Thank you so much. This was okay.
So I do believe that this article was first published
(15:43):
in the London Times, because this is a story from
nineteen ninety seven, and this is an article from nineteen
ninety seven. I've been looking and looking and looking for
the actual original article, and as far as I can tell,
this might be a reprint of it on the Independent,
(16:07):
and it's labeled just David Ironovich column from Friday, the
twenty fifth of July nineteen ninety seven, written by David Iranovich.
The best in the biz really good. And when you
read this see is the best in the biz. This
is like you realize that the quality of writing in
general and journalism in specific has gone downhill. This is
(16:31):
like excellent British writing in nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Here it is y take me back, Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Every evening for a year a computer programmer, Neil Simmons
would go down to the end of his garden in
stockin tigerhead Devin, I made that sound more German than
it was and call to the owls, and the owls
would call back. So intense and varied did these crepuscular
exchanges become that mister Simmons, an owl reader by hobby,
(17:01):
began to nurture hopes of finally discovering the hidden language
of owls. Wooo, hooted mister Simmons. Wooooo, replied the owl.
As it happens. At exactly the same time, Fred corn,
as a retired company director, was enjoying a very similar,
though slightly more passive twilight conversation with the owl at
the bottom of his garden. Woooooo when the owl mister
(17:25):
Corns would respond. For any two men to be spending
exactly the same evenings thus engaged may be considered mildly coincidental.
What lifts this tale beyond the normal, however, is that
mister Korns is also a resident of tiny stuck in Tiganhead. Indeed,
his garden in fact a butts onto that of mister Simmons,
(17:46):
and the obvious explanation of their shared experience would surely
be that they're one unaware of events next door, that
one unaware of events next door had been communicating with
the very same garrulous bird who had been so entertaining
the Unfortunately, this one owl, two men explanation was exploded
by a chance conversation between their wives, who met each
(18:09):
other in the driveway and began to chat. One recounted
how her lovable but eccentric spouse liked to hoot in
the garden before bed. The other reciprocated with tales of
how her own old feller liked nothing better than a
nice alfresco squawk before turning in. The two women looked
at each other. The men were called and the case
(18:29):
put to them, and each recorded an example of his
owl speak. In the end, they were left inescapably but
embarrassingly with the two men no owl theory. This will
have been particularly going for mister Simmons, who, as an expert,
will have known that some of his calls were what
shall we say, hoots of avian desire embarrassment. Aside, there
(18:53):
are I think, and then Aaron goes into a bunch
of different things.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
It's so funny these grown men owling to each other
is just so fun And I hope they're best friends now.
I mean, it's I really do thirty years later and
you're like, yeah, almost thirty years later and you're like,
I just hope you guys are best friends. That and
maybe when they're at the bar and one goes up
to order beers for the other one, he gives a
couple of hoots. The guy hoots right.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Be at for one year, going out every night and
just hooting at each other is so so funny to me.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Life before the internet, life before smartphones, you just had
to find entertainment on your own. Damn. That's so sweet. Though.
They both were enthusiastic. Yeah, and I wonder have said anything.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Oh, that's an interesting idea.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
That's just let wives have just known and just let them.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Well. The thing is is that one guy was an
owl breeder, and so it was kind of like part
of his thing. So he was recording all of the conversations.
That's another thing. He recorded every hoot. He has like
a journal for a year of just another man's hoots
back at him in the night time.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
I know, pre internet, pre smartphone. It was it awesome
or was it sad? It's up for you to decide.
My friend always made the joke because another when I
was waiting tables. Around the time you and I left
New York, they started to get phone access or Wi
Fi underground in the subways. But when you and I
lived there, yeah, no phones. It was like you lost
(20:28):
all reception and it was peace and trying lightly. It
was I read so many books on the f train,
It's unthinkable. And then when I got back, I was like, oh,
this is crazy, and another person's like, I hate it.
I hate that everybody's looking down on their phones and
out of each other. My friend Jessica was said, yeah,
but what was it before? Before when you read newspapers,
(20:49):
you would open a full newspaper. It was like building
a wall in front of your face. Yeah, she's so right. Yeah,
looking down on your phone, you can kind of have
I don't know, three hundred and fifty degrees a vision.
But when you open a newspaper like not today, rest
of this train, and then just build a little house
around your face. No, it is better.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I know that. I always there's a meme out there
about like, oh, the world was so much better before phones.
And then it's just a packed train with every man
with a newspaper in front of his face.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Yeah, just vibing, just everybody's vibe being on a deeper emotional,
spiritual level.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Don't worry, we'll be able to build that wall again soon.
Once the VR headsets happen. Guys, there, it's gonna be
a new chank. There's gonna be a new chink in
the dystopia future that we have in they have in
store for us, where everybody's just walking around with VR headsets.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
I know the introverts will rejoice. They'll just have their
own paradise. They'll just have their own living room on
their headsets, so no matter where they are, they're just
in their safe space, and God bless them, they need it.
Them take care. That's a great I mean god, But okay,
So if Lauren was going out every night and doing
bird calls and then you later found out that somebody
(22:05):
two streets over was responding, would you tell her? I
guess you would, right.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I guess, So it's a I do agree with you
that it is a question though.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yeah, right, they loved it.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
I think the It sounds like the wives like immediately
called their husbands over. So it was like immediately, I
think it was just like you fucking dumb son of
a bitch.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
If it was that that, I kind of like it.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Hey, idiots, get over your idiots.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
It would also be great if the tale was that
those two men hated each other for twenty years prior
to this, like that, yes, never find common ground. One
painted their door red, the other's mailbox was shaped like
a manatee. They couldn't stand each other, and then slowly
they fall in love from hooting at each other for
over a year. There is that nicer way to think
of it.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Yeah, it is an the way to think of it,
but it is very common, I especially in nineteen ninety six,
to just have a family. Wheers like, we don't get
divorced and so instead we live with a person we
revile every second we revile them.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Yeah, there's some of that. I mean, there's some of that. Okay,

Speaker 1 (25:21):
Jillian Berenson was sick that day. She had the sniffles.
She thought it could be cocos, so she stayed home.
Olivia Yatuma.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Oh yes, I met Olivia Yatuma. Thank you. Best in
the biz when it comes to jogabizt viscous.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Liquids, viscous high sodium, high calorie liquids in Western Michigan,
you call one woman, and you call her right away.
Olivia Yatuma. Belding, Michigan. The Harmful Rooster in Building hosted
its first ever chugging competition, where you would win by
chugging a twenty four ounce glass of their ranch dressing.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
So twenty four ounces, so like one ounces like a
table a pound. One ounce is a tablespoon though.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Around sure a shot glass, yeah yeah, so small shot glass,
So that's.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Probably I'm just trying to figure out what ranch comes
in clocks in a like.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Pint glass is sixteen ounces. Yeah, so it's one and
a half pint glasses in ten seconds of ranch dressing.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
It's also all of your calories for the day. It's
probably like two thousand and four hundred right there.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
It's pretty crazy. It only took ten seconds for competitor
zach Orvis to chug all twenty four ounces of the
ranch and take home the win. When asked how he
consumes so much ramp so quickly, Orvis said, I've seen
people pour that amount that amount on their salads, So
what's the difference.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I mean, he's got a line, he's got a line
for it.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
He's so nonchalant about That's also not an answer. He
could have said like, oh, I took a deep breath
and I didn't eat this morning, or I ate lots
of iceberg lettuce. I mean a little salad in my belly.
But no. Also in western Michigan, if you're putting twenty
four ounces of ranch on your salad, sign me up.
Orviis did, however, have his fair share of competition. The
Harmful Rooster cap the competition at twelve people.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
It's called the Harmful Rooster. Yes, okay, fun.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Name, Yeah, fun name.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
That's what you want anytime you want to go to
something called the Harmful Black Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
I know there are four people left on the waiting list.
They'll get him in next year because we're reporting it.
So it's going to be a big deal. One of
the competitors actually next year, if you want to, if
you get in on this will send you Banana's merchandise
to compete as a team Bananamal and we hope you
at least finish the twenty four ounces.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Or go to the violence Fueled Rooster and have a
great time.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
That's right, it's just down the street at the Serial
Killer Chicken Shack. Have fun. One of them. One of
the competitors was a ten year old named Jordan Petterley.
All Petterley had to say was I'm a kid. I'm
the youngest person here. Good luck.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Also, he should have said, I'm a kid. I'm the
only one who should be doing this.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Yeah, I could actually digest this. I'll be hungry in
two hours. One owner, Randy Roost, that's what it's called
rus DN, I think, came prepared for the big day,
making sure there were buckets by every competitor justin case,
you know, you'd get it. Rust had his competitor's sign
(28:34):
a waiver. How much more Midwest can you get than
guzzling ranch dressing, Bruce said, Still, rus clearly underestimated orvis.
I don't feel sick at all. It's just ranch dressing,
Orbis said moments after winning. Moments after winning, I don't
feel sick at all. It's just.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Also, you know what, I I this might be weird,
but I don't think of Michigan as the Midwest. For
some reason, I think of Wisconsin as the Midwest. I
think of Minnesota's the with Midwest. I think of Ohio
as the Midwest. But for some reason, I simply do
not take Michigan. I feel like Michigan has a different
(29:14):
character than the rest of the Midwest. I feel like,
I really do feel that.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
I mean the geographically, I think there could not be
more smack dab in the middle the Midwest. But I
know what you're saying, there's something about Michigan.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Yeah, there's something about Michigan. Maybe it's because they're so
far north. The mid means the mid it's got to
be in the center, you know.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
But there we need a new region up there. That's
what we need. We have a new region. Just cut
the Dakotas out there. The Dakota's are just the Dakotas
they can They probably very naturally a beautiful place. Yeah, nobody.
When you meet somebody from one of the Dakota's, it
is like meeting somebody from the moon. It's so fascinating.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Because there's five there's five people who live there.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
I know.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
When I was at UMass, I used to go to
all the Hasakasa meetings all like the I was just
friends with the Black student Union. I would just go
those meetings that sit there. They all thought I was fun.
So they were like, we don't care. And there's this
one kid that was like, yo, Scottie, I got into
grad school. I'm going for free. I wasn't aware he's
like North Dakota State. I was like, congratulations. He goes, yeah,
(30:22):
they're just giving scholarships any brown kid, and I go, man,
good luck, but he did. He was like I wasn't
even a good student. I had like a two point seven,
but they just accepted me. And I'm like, this is
one strategy, just zero diversity. And they're like, send us
you're not white people, and they get a full ride
for grad school. I hope that guy turned out alive.
(30:44):
I don't feel sick at all. It's just ranch dressing
or visaid moments after winning the competition. The prize sought
after all twelve competitions was a one hundred dollars a
gift card and a free order of All you can
Eat wings every week until the spring of twenty twenty five,
pretty good. Oh, not bad, that's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Wow. It also as if heat this guy needs any.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Orvis orvis Or.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
I'm worried about Orvis' health, is what I'm saying, Zach Orvis.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
They might live to regret that weekly all you can
Eat wings zach Orbs rolls through.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
That's tough. That's tough because it's it's a tempting offer.
It is a tempting offer to just know Thursdays are covered.
I know you could go in start earlier and earlier
two pm. It's it's all you can eat until clothes.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
But Randy Roost, the Randy rust, the owner of the
harmful Rooster, this guy gets it. If you're first of all,
it took ten seconds. It's it is a disgusting amount
of ranch dressing. But that doesn't warrant one thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
No, No, this is the.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Correct gift card. And until spring, not even a date.
Could be till the spring, could be April, could be.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
May, and also not a full year. Because he's he's
kind of figured it out. He's like, how much does
this guy eat?
Speaker 1 (32:09):
So we're talking max sixteen weeks of All you can
Eat Wings max and one hundred bucks. Maybe maybe that
can't show up one week, so he loses that. This
is a perfectly what's the word. I'm trying to say,
it's the perfect pairing. It's just great. Randy Ruster runs
a tight ship. And it's safe to say that these
(32:32):
competitors were ready to take on the ranch Orvis just
slammed it better than the rest. That's good writing. Rus
tells me that he is hopeful that this year will
be the first of many for this ranch chugging competition
again Western Michigan Ban Animals. If you get on that
list next year, we will send you a shirt and
a hat, and we will cheer you on, we'll shout
you out. We want somebody to win the ranch chugging competition.
(32:56):
You know what, harmful rooster.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
I just realized that it. This is a competition where
if you're not first, and if you don't win, you
lose so hard because you've just chugged's say.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Twenty four hours a ranch.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
But slightly slower than another person. You still chug twenty
four hours. You still did it. You still drag that
much ranch.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Yeah, it's in there, it's it's in there, and it's
only coming out. One of two ways. So good luck
and good luck to the the partners of these people
who had to sleep next to the person just sweating
out a pound and a half of ranch for probably
forty eight hours. It's yeah, yeah, but I do love
the spirit and I love papping it at twelve people,
(33:44):
and I do love the exactly correct prize for this competition,
and I hope next year Bananama wins it.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Mm hmm, go for it, pen Animals. I'm gonna tease
us into some shout outs here, Scottie, Oh.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Yeah, I got some.

we'll take every five star you can get. If we
get to eight thousand. Let me tell you we're in
a whole different stratus field podcast that we can keep
on keeping on. Here.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
It is Japanese Woman's Subduced Convenience Store Thief. This was
in Oh, Japan Today, written by Casey Basil Oh.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Very herbaceous writing. We love her.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Actually it might be Casey Bazil. I don't know. This
was an October fourth. Someone sent this in an big
I really apologized, guys, that's okay. It was a long
time ago. I mean it was October fourth, and I've
been saving it and moving it and trying to keep
doing it, and I keep not doing it, but now
I'm doing it here. It is like countless other people.
(39:24):
In Japan, twenty three year old Karen Rio walked into
a convenience store to do some shopping on the night
of September sixteenth, but while it's unclear for Yo ever
obtained what she'd got in the store in search of
while she was there, she decided to dispense some justice.
The incident occurred shortly before eight pm in the shitty
neighborhood that is its Shi Tte. I don't know how
(39:47):
shity shitty, It sounds like shitty neighborhood of the city
of Yokohama's Surrumi ward, slightly south of Tokyo. While Rio
was at the store, a man attempted to shop lift
a six pack of beer, and when he attempted to flee,
a clerk confronted him, two becoming entangled near the store's exit.
Noticing the altercation, Rio stepped in and, after ensnaring the
(40:10):
man's legs, brought him to the ground and put him
in a headlock. Uh The man attempted to break free
by biting Rio on her left forearm. With enough force.
The two weeks later, there are still visible teethmarks on
her skin. Rio's grippelled fast, though, and she kept the
man subdued until the police were summoned and arrived on
the scene, where he was placed under arrest. As an
(40:31):
office worker who works in Serumi, Rio's daily job does
not involve subduing criminals, so following the incident, some wondered
if maybe she has experience in martial arts training. But
that's not part of her background either. I've never done
martial arts. I took tea ceremony lessons, she says, instead
crediting a love of anime for her headlock technique. I
(40:53):
like anime, so I just sort of imitated what I've
seen in it.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (40:59):
At the time time, I wasn't scared. It felt like
my body was just moving on its own, Rio recalls,
adding that it wasn't until after the incident that she
stopped to think about the possibility that the man could
have had a knife or been otherwise armed. It's lightly
for that reason that, even as a representative for the
to Surrey Police Precinct praised her courage, he advised others
(41:19):
who might witness crime to prioritarize, to prioritize, to avoid
putting themselves at undue risk and contact the Police's.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
That's right, don't don't do it.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
If you don't, I mean, but how many times it's like.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
A gunless society. It's so different over there, it's so different.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
But how many times have you seen in your mind
the thing you were gonna do and then gone and
did something radically different?
Speaker 1 (41:48):
I mean every single time. When you know, we at
Sacred Heart in Glendon, Maryland, when we had like monthly
churches or whatever we had to go to mass, I
would just sit there and think about if terrorists broke
into this, how would I hide? Where would I hide here?
Like instantly go under the pew and crawl over here,
and then like go behind the baptismal phone. Then I'd
(42:10):
climb up the back of the giant organ pipes and
get up it, and like I would have a whole
battle plan. What was I going to do? I was
like ten years old, Yeah, but I'd seen the movie
Toy Soldiers, which is an underrated nineties hit, and yeah,
in my head, I had a whole escape route that
I was going to call nine one one then go
back in and start rescuing people. Like what am I talking? Asked?
(42:34):
I would have stood up too fast and gotten nosebleed,
farted and passed out. Like that's at best.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
You do all. I at least always wonder about those situations,
like do you do? Do I instinctually just do the
thing that needs to be done? And I hope I do,
But honestly, you just don't know until you're in that situation, right,
I know, I mean you maybe maybe maybe it works
to prime yourself to like dood do the good right thing,
(43:02):
you know, to go in and do help the person
instead of run away.
Speaker 1 (43:06):
Yeah, definitely have that in mind. But yes, it's but
what are you really going to do? It's over there. Also,
let's be real, like if somebody's smaller than me, my
confidence goes way up. If somebody's my slides are bigger, boy,
do I wimp out in a real hurry? But everybody
will just run? I mean, I'm a runner, let's face it.
(43:28):
It's interesting. I had a college professor and I can't
even remember the class. It was a communication class, I
know that, but he was like, raise your hands if
you know what the inside of an emergency room looks
like and he's like, keep them up if you've ever
been in an emergency room, and like ninety five percent
of the college kids went down, and there's like, raise
your hand if you know what the inside of a
courtroom looks like, and leave your hands up if you've
(43:48):
ever inside of court room, and like two hands state up,
and he kept doing it. It's like if you and
then he was like, if you think you know how
to load and fire a gun, raise your hand. And
he was like everything you think you know is because
TV taught you what this looks like and how it
is or movies. And it blew my mind at eighteen
because I was like, yeah, everything I think I understand about, Yeah,
(44:12):
what the inside of the White House looks like? What
I hadn't been on an international flight, like even getting
food on an airplane, I've never seen that, but I'd
seen on so many movies. It is crazy how much
knowledge we all have because of TV and movies that
you would never admit, Oh, I don't know what the
fuck I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
Oh yeah, and also intimate knowledge, intimate knowledge.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
Of what it looks like.
Speaker 2 (44:34):
Right, it would be really funny if the like there
wasn't actually an oval office, like not a real one,
you know what I mean. It would be so funny
if if the President's office was just kind of another roub.
He's like, well, this is where I spend all my time.
Speaker 1 (44:51):
Yeah. I think sometimes when I go to zoos now,
like San Diego Zoo or whatever, and I see an
animal and I realize I've seen it on Planet or
Earth or Blue Planet or all the things I've watched
for the last forty years, It's like sometimes I'm like, oh, yeah,
I know exactly what this is, but it's the first
time you see the real McCoy, and that is it's
just weird our understanding. I've never been to Africa. I've
(45:12):
never been any countries in Africa, and I feel like
I could really tell you about so far As in
Kenya and what South Africa looks like from paragliding, and
just walk you through Egypt. I could just give you
a perfect tour of Egypt. And I've never been and
we're close to Africa. I know what the lemurs are
doing in Madagascar.
Speaker 2 (45:31):
They're standing up, they're looking around. They can't find the
thing they're looking for.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
If I have told this I'm so sorry. But my
friend Dell grew up in Manhattan, and Dell, he was
a great dude, is a great dude, but he is.
He's a black guy who went to school in Upper
or West Side Manhattan and as a school field trip,
they bust all the kids out to where in the
(45:57):
world is Carmen San Diego? The the hit game show
for kids and after school highlight show in the nineties,
and he advanced and they gave him the continent of
Africa and the way that the final round, if you won,
they would say, here's the United States, and they would
go Tennessee and you had to put like a flag
thing and had a light on it, and if you
(46:18):
got it right, you moved on. You got five of
them or whatever ten of them you won for the day.
And I know they they were prejudiced. I know they
gave del Africa because he was a black kid, really
and he did not get one right.
Speaker 2 (46:31):
Yeah, but he's confusing.
Speaker 1 (46:34):
Yeah, large air so hard because they didn't give him
South Africa start with a layout the southernmost country and
this poor kid is running around on TV just biffing it.
So but then you go, yeah, if they if I
had Asia and they go Japan, I go got it,
they go China, got it. And then when they start
to go Vietnam or Malaysia or Bangladesh, I'm oh, I might.
Speaker 2 (46:59):
But you know, my brother is in the State Department,
and so he would he would play this game with
me where he would just name he would name capitals
of countries and then I would have to name the country.
I could not name one if you put like if
I had a blank map of South America and of Africa,
(47:24):
and I would even Europe. I would get the majority wrong,
like I could pick out Italy because it's a boot shape.
Speaker 1 (47:31):
Because you know, ignorant.
Speaker 2 (47:34):
So like I just geography has never been a thing,
even the United States. I have a general idea, but
actually no, like Olive and Gus came across this like
little map.
Speaker 1 (47:45):
It was.
Speaker 2 (47:46):
It was a puzzle for kids, and it's all wooden pieces,
and all the wooden pieces are the States. Even that
we spent hours just being like this is what I know.
This one's main but that's pretty much and then it stops.
Speaker 1 (48:02):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I know. We I was doing
bar Trivia and silver Lake right before the Great Choir,
and I was with Blake and Mikey and my other friends.
And then the final round for our trivia team were
state capitals and you had to send one person from
your team up to the stairs, so it wasn't that
bar public house that's closed now. And then it was
first every time you got one wrong or you repeated one,
(48:24):
you were eliminated, and they sent me up and I
just held a few in the back of my in
the back pocket, like everybody knows, sort of the basic ones.
But I was sitting on Maryland, which everybody thinks is Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (48:35):
Oh wait, wait, let me think, I think Columbia, right, No, no, oh,
what is it?
Speaker 1 (48:41):
Annapolis?
Speaker 2 (48:41):
Annapolis?
Speaker 1 (48:43):
And so that's like a sneaky one. And then Florida.
Everybody thinks it's like Jacksonville or Miami or one, and
it's Tallahassee. And so I was just sitting on these
capitals and we ended up winning the round and winning
the game. But it was so funny just to watch
four adults no clue because once somebody named one, you
were like, oh, California, You're like Sacramento, Okay, that's easy, yeah,
(49:06):
And then you get to the middle and you're like,
is it Omaha or is it Lincoln And does it matter?
I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (49:15):
Also, it's interesting as cities that capitals are for the
most part, disappointment city, not the best city, they're disappointment
cities like Sacramento. Do you want to go to Sacramento?
Speaker 1 (49:29):
I think about Sacramento more than the average person you do.
I think you know people that hate California, they really
hate La and San Francisco. They don't hate the whole state.
You can't hate California because you're like, oh, you hate Yosemite,
Well then you're a monster. You hate the Redwoods, go
to hell. Yeah. But I'm like, and then Sacramento is
(49:50):
sitting right there, and I'm like, what they should just
inject so much money and culture into that city and
just make it so unique and so cool and just
build it to be something new. And instead it's.
Speaker 2 (50:03):
Like, nah, I will I hear that, just because San
Francisco is so insane, the Bay Areas so looney Tunes,
looks like in its own world with prices, that Sacramento
is starting to become cool. That is, I know one
person that lives there and they're just like, it's starting
to become cool now.
Speaker 1 (50:20):
So look at that. Hope that's true. I look at
the barbecue there once. I still did a boutique motel
there once. That was really cool. I think it needs
to be a great California city. So I'm pro Sacramento. Yep,
it's an educational podcast.
Speaker 2 (50:34):
Here's one of educational Send us home, Scottie, send us God.
Speaker 1 (50:40):
This was so funny, I might save it for our
next guest. Okay, yeah, let me just one that work.
Steph Schrader. Thank you, Steph Shrader. You always send great stories.
Thank you, Steph. This was in science alert dot com,
so you know it's got to be maybe real. Written

a fake name for Science alert dot com, but thank
you Michelle Starr for doing the lord's work. Rock used
(51:04):
as doorstep for decades turns out to be worth over
one million dollars. One man's trash is another man's treasure,
but a chunk of rock used to keep a door
open for decades is a treasure by pretty much any
metric you might use. Good writing. The three point five
kilogram ak seven point seven pound stone was found in
a stream bed in southeast Romania by an elderly woman
(51:26):
who brought it home and put it to use as
a doorstop. Her discovery turned out to be one of
the biggest intact chunks of amber in the world, its
value somewhere in the region of one point one US
million dollars.
Speaker 2 (51:40):
Oh my god, Oh my god. Did she get the money?
Did she get the money?
Speaker 1 (51:43):
The elderly woman who found this particular rumnite nugget ba
blah blah blah. No. The woman died in nineteen ninety one,
but a relative inherited her home suspected the doorstop might
be more than meets THEI. On learning what he had,
he sold the amber to a Romanians, to the Romanian state,
who had it a praise by experts at the Museum
(52:05):
of History in Krackow And, Poland. According to these experts,
amber is like this amber is likely between thirty eight
and seventy million years old. What a guest, am it?
What a nice range, A.
Speaker 2 (52:18):
Giant forty five million year range. It's just it's somewhere
in somewhere, essentially saying it's old. We don't know if
it's old or really old.
Speaker 1 (52:28):
So that guy scored a million dollars from the Romanian state,
and then it resembles a man in Michigan, which is,
according to us, not a Midwestern state. But you can
sound off in our DMS.
Speaker 2 (52:38):
Sound off in our DMS sound off.
Speaker 1 (52:41):
Who kept us a large Oh? He kept a large
piece of rock as a doorstop, only to be found
he was keeping a meteorite that was worth over one
hundred thousand dollars. So check your doorstops. Stops using a rock.
Speaker 2 (52:54):
Okay, well, I like I like a rock doorstop. There's
to have a manufactured doorstop. When rocks are everywhere we live,
pile of rocks, use one.
Speaker 1 (53:09):
To put your door open. That's right. Well, thank you everybody,
exactly right.

congratulations on winning the World Series of Baseball a week
or two ago.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
And Love, I don't have this title. I'd want the
I want there to be a reveal for this, okay,
So I will just say and I did see one
headline as this, So here's the headline, Scottie.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Okay, hooters.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
And it'll make sense.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
That's okay. Well, there's two big reasons to stick around
and listen to this amazing episode of Bananas.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Your worlds. Would you mind? Resilient pieces?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Would you?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Guys, goals, non binary pals. Welcome to a very a
very special episode of Bananas. A very special solo episode
of Bananas. I'm staring at a man, yeah, who's known
as the greatest screenwriter in America. He is standing in
front of a floor to ceiling image of I don't
(02:28):
think it's pipeline.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
It's not. I think it's sunset beach.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Maybe, yeah, because the shape of the waves a little
more almond than pipeline would be. But just a beautiful
breaking wave, a huge barrel.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Scottie Landis KURTI b you. You're everybody's favorite, and you
know when the rapture comes, you're going first, because they're
going to need a stand up comedian to welcome people
through those pearly gates, and it's gonna be you. And
I also know, as a former Catholic schoolboy. You be
great doing just riftogging with Saint Pete to your left
(03:03):
and all the other fake religions to your right. Just
everybody hanging out and you're welcoming them in with a
good guffall because.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Once you get to heaven, yeah you can say fuck
and shit and curse or scent because you're in heaven.
You already made it. Like if the whole reason you're
not cursing is so that you can go to heaven
once you're there, I hope you are cutting a blue
rug if that is.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Yeah, it is. I know. It would be so funny
if it does exist. And if I somehow sneak in
the side window, I'll be like, man, I was wrong.
I was so wrong about this. I am going to
do the panic thing with two seconds to go before
they pull the plug. Oh yeah, I'm going to be
like I believe and then just hope for the best.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I know. So it is you just do last rights right,
and you know what, let's do last rights.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Fire them up, Padre. I want to get in there
just in case this whole forgiveness thing is real. But yeah,
how was a trick or treating? Was it so fun?
Did you guys get a lot of candy. Also, what
is your kids? What is what are your kid's favorite?
Two candies?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
The kids are well, uh, alf doesn't really like chocolate
and she doesn't like peanut butter, so she'll sometimes have chocolate,
but she prefers, you know, the big The big ticket
item this year was gummy cluster nerds.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Oh, I've heard that's nerd cluster.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah. And but also and then Gus's favorite chalcol is
probably like anything chocolate. He just loves it all pretty much.
I don't think he has a favorite yet. We we
try and get him to, we like, what's your favorite,
and he just likes kind of like goes. I don't know.
But I bought I bought the full sized candy bars
at Costco good for you, two boxes twenty bucks nineteen
(05:01):
ninety nine each. That's fine, forty bucks. Forty bucks is not.
I feel a ton to spend on to make dreams
come true candy. And that was from five thirty to eight,
and we still had some left and I put them
out because then we had the kids were going to bed,
so I closed the door so I would say successful
and to be the house with the big candy.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Bars Yeah, that's what you want to be.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I also feel like it's getting more common it used
to be. I mean it was a myth when I
was a child, it was a myth. I remember saying
like that that house has them. People would talk about it,
and then you would go up and they wouldn't answer
the doorbell.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, there was a person in our neighborhood and one
year they handed out pennies and everybody, I think some
of the other parents were like, you can't hand out
pennies to these kids. And then from there on out
they would hand out Gatorades. And when Gatorade switch from
glass bottles to plastic bottles, I think at probably sixteen ounces,
you would just go and get a full Gatorade or
a thirty two ounce Gatearaide. It was the big ones,
(06:01):
and it was just so funny to see everybody's so
dehydrated and so jacked up on sugar and then being
like I am thirsty and they're just chugging thirty two
ounces of sugar.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
It is interesting, Like we brought a water bottle and
the kids went to town on the water bottle like
the whole night, because you're they're walking for them, they're
walking an enormous amount. And then also like they're eating
candy along the way, you know that, and can sugar
makes you like thirsty, which I which I always forget
about because I don't burn it.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
It's like throwing logs on that little Chucchu train. There's
so many shoveling sugar cold just in there as fast
as they can. It's it's the greatest holiday, at least
in America because just getting dressed up always fun, walking
around with your friends, great time. And then kids like
number one favorite thing is candy, and so it's like
they're rewarding them for just doing two great things. It's
(06:52):
a whoever came up with it? The modern version extremely fun.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
There is a church down the street from my house,
and it's a it's one of those southern California churches
that are like, you know, I think they're probably pretty liberal,
you know what I mean, But there's just still like
we actually went once for Christmas, cause it's like we
just don't have a Christmas tradition anymore. You know, we
(07:18):
used to go to Catholic Mass, and it feels weird
to go to Catholic Mass now, and so we're like, okay, well,
we'll go to this one. And we went there for
for Christmas once.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
And it was just weird.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
It was weird. It was you know, it was like
they took the kids away and I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
where you taking my kids? I uh go Catholic here, Yeah,
I don't like it when you take the kids to
places I can't see. And they took them away for
like an hour and a half. The whole thing was
like two hours. It was bonkers town. And then the
(07:49):
whole homily was about like essentially like that like Jesus
is a man that you love, and it was like
that's it. It wasn't anything like helpful for your life.
It was just like bow down before the Man of Jesus.
And it just left a bad taste in my mouth. Anyway.
Point is during Halloween they have this like a full
(08:11):
frontal assault to like well to like get people in
the door to come to go to church. There they
had an entire Willy Wonka like setup where it was
like a store and everything and so but it's always
like a like they always have full sized candy bars.
They always have it's a big deal. And and so
(08:31):
Olive is just talking it up to every child she meets, like,
we gotta go to the church. And then by the
end we're like, the kids are tired. I'm trying to
get them back, and all the kids are like, we
gotta go to church, and all of these godless la parents,
We're just like, this is the first and last time
(08:52):
my child is gonna be screaming, what we gotta go
to church?
Speaker 1 (08:56):
But take out churches have a giant, king sized candy
bar for every kid that comes through your Hollywood doors,
and uh, it's not just going to go through the roof.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
But also like, that's what churches should be doing, right.
I I do applaud them for that. I do not
want to go to their place, but I do applaud
them for that. That's great. Provide stuff for the community.
That's wonderful. The kids loved it. I really enjoyed the
fact that Gus was and this was his idea. He
was just a all he wanted to be was a devil,
(09:25):
and we'd be like, what kind he'd be?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Like a bad devil?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Nice, my guy, And so he was just dressed as
a bad devil with a horrifying mask on in front
of the church, like picking out a candy bar.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
This is this is it? This is satan? That would
be so great. Did you see the new Willy Wonka
with old tim Shallomey?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Was it good? I didn't see it. Uh it was okay.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yeah, it's not bad. It's you know, it's it's like
it starts very dark.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
All kids movies now start with the darkest things that
can happen to you, deaths.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Yeah, it's galore. But also like Willy Wonka was a
little dark anyway, you know, total creep. Yeah, and so
that makes sense to me. But yeah, at the end,
by the end, I was like that it's a pretty
good movie. I don't want to heard that.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
But Timmy Shalls I just didn't seem that charismatic to me.
And then I don't know if you're going to do
this story today, But we got sent the story that
there was a Timothy shallow May lookalike contest and then
one went and now I'm like, maybe.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I like this, Maybe I like that guy. And also
he didn't win. That's fantastic he got the second place.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Then maybe I do like that guy. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I got well, So the fact that we opened with
you standing in front or sitting in front of a
giant wave. Where are you, Scotty.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I am at the north shore of Hawaii, So I was, uh, yeah, Straw,
And now we're going to go to Asheville, North Carolina
to hang out with Mamory Hart, who is staying down
there because I tricked her. True. Well, you know this.
We I hand out candy with Mamory. We have for
about eight or nine years now, and then the last
six years besides COVID year, we get a margarita machine
(11:15):
where we hand out frozen margaritas to all the parents
and candied all the kids. And it's a highlight of
my year. And then Mamory uh was there after the
hurricane and the flooding and had to make a great escape,
and so these plans got canceled and it was like,
let's go let's not h I don't know if this
(11:36):
would be lemonade, let's go make pina coladas.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
So, I mean that's a gorgeous idea. I'm so happy
you did that.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Yeah. Facts, And it's just a three nighter or yeah,
three nights, four days or whatever. But this is where
we shot a TV show that I worked on and
so everything's nicer now. They fixed everything up. But it's
just it's so relaxing as I eat bowls, pokey bowls, yeah,
you name it. But yeah, just a quickie. And it
was fun to celebrate, like I am a Dodgers fan
(12:04):
and went to the lots of bars and watched my friends,
and it was fun to come out here. And as
you can see, I'm wearing a Dodgers hat and everybody's
here like go blue. And you realize the only people
here in October are I live.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
In l Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Yeah, all the families are waiting for Christmas and winter
holidays and New Year's and so right now it's just
a nice sleepy time. Tomorrow morning I might take a
lay making class, learn how to make a lay.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I love that. That is fantastic, Thanks buddy.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
So and you're going away right I am.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I'm going away on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Where are you going?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Well, I will by the time this comes out, I
will have already come back. But I am going to
the Shenandoah Mountains, my friends. Oh that's pretty yeah, we get.
There's these little primitive cabins off the Appalachian Trail and
Shenandoa and Shenandoah.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
To our West Virginia listeners. Yes, yes, and so.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Yeah, we're in we're in Virginia technically at this section,
and so yeah, a little primitive cabin. Inside it's got
six bunk beds and a small table. It's one room
and it's got a wood burning stove. And then outside
and this is the critical part that makes it's so
so nice. It has an outside fireplace. And we've been
(13:17):
to these cabins before with this specific friend group. This
is the friend group from Crow. You know, this is
like the Crowbros. And and it's been much needed. Last
time we went was eight years ago at this place,
and I saw a ton of black bears when I
was there. And it's just gorgeous because you have an
outside fireplace and once you get the fire cooking in there,
(13:38):
after like two three hours, that whole wall heats up
and it just radiates heat and you are never cold.
It's so so nice. It'll be like a crisp fifty
degrees every day.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Is so nice. That's a beauty. I mean, that's basically
where I'm from, and it's so beautiful in the woods
around there in the mountains that are so you know,
the only I've only had like two near death experiences,
and one was at Seneca Rocks in West Virginia. Who
I was on I was I think it was between
my freshmen and sophomore year in college. A bunch of
(14:13):
high school friends were like, we're getting a place. We're
going skiing in Canane Valley and we went skiing, but
then it was hot. It was one of those times
where we're skiing t shirts and night snow pants and
you'd have your gloves on, your mits on, and that
was kind of it. So my friends were like, well,
do you want to take a hike? And we drove
out to Seneca Rocks, which is a very beautiful hike,
and I'm talking to my friends. It's sort of single
(14:33):
track path around the side of this mountain and there's
a rock over this area and I stepped over and
like stretched my leg out and went on and my
friend behind me was like, dude, and I looked down
and was straight down like I It was like an
optical illusion where the rock I was stepping over went
to almost nowhere. WHOA and I had to like it
was crazy. I basically my left hand was on the
(14:55):
rocks and I had to pull myself back and then like,
but that would have fallen. I don't know. I won't
overestimate it, but I'll say two hundred feet maybe three
hundred feet. Yeah, And it was the first. You know,
I've been in a couple of car accidents at that point,
so it was the first one that was My bad
decision almost cost me the whole enchilada. But I pulled
the enchilada back, and that's what it's all about.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Protecting enchilada back, folks. All right, I'm so excited to
share this story, Scott. Are you ready for it?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I couldn't be more ready.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Oh my god. I have to give all the credit
to the wonderful and delightful Hannah Walling for sending this in. Hannah,
you are awesome. Thank you so much. This was okay.
So I do believe that this article was first published
(15:43):
in the London Times, because this is a story from
nineteen ninety seven, and this is an article from nineteen
ninety seven. I've been looking and looking and looking for
the actual original article, and as far as I can tell,
this might be a reprint of it on the Independent,
(16:07):
and it's labeled just David Ironovich column from Friday, the
twenty fifth of July nineteen ninety seven, written by David Iranovich.
The best in the biz really good. And when you
read this see is the best in the biz. This
is like you realize that the quality of writing in
general and journalism in specific has gone downhill. This is
(16:31):
like excellent British writing in nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Here it is y take me back, Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Every evening for a year a computer programmer, Neil Simmons
would go down to the end of his garden in
stockin tigerhead Devin, I made that sound more German than
it was and call to the owls, and the owls
would call back. So intense and varied did these crepuscular
exchanges become that mister Simmons, an owl reader by hobby,
(17:01):
began to nurture hopes of finally discovering the hidden language
of owls. Wooo, hooted mister Simmons. Wooooo, replied the owl.
As it happens. At exactly the same time, Fred corn,
as a retired company director, was enjoying a very similar,
though slightly more passive twilight conversation with the owl at
the bottom of his garden. Woooooo when the owl mister
(17:25):
Corns would respond. For any two men to be spending
exactly the same evenings thus engaged may be considered mildly coincidental.
What lifts this tale beyond the normal, however, is that
mister Korns is also a resident of tiny stuck in Tiganhead. Indeed,
his garden in fact a butts onto that of mister Simmons,
(17:46):
and the obvious explanation of their shared experience would surely
be that they're one unaware of events next door, that
one unaware of events next door had been communicating with
the very same garrulous bird who had been so entertaining
the Unfortunately, this one owl, two men explanation was exploded
by a chance conversation between their wives, who met each
(18:09):
other in the driveway and began to chat. One recounted
how her lovable but eccentric spouse liked to hoot in
the garden before bed. The other reciprocated with tales of
how her own old feller liked nothing better than a
nice alfresco squawk before turning in. The two women looked
at each other. The men were called and the case
(18:29):
put to them, and each recorded an example of his
owl speak. In the end, they were left inescapably but
embarrassingly with the two men no owl theory. This will
have been particularly going for mister Simmons, who, as an expert,
will have known that some of his calls were what
shall we say, hoots of avian desire embarrassment. Aside, there
(18:53):
are I think, and then Aaron goes into a bunch
of different things.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
It's so funny these grown men owling to each other
is just so fun And I hope they're best friends now.
I mean, it's I really do thirty years later and
you're like, yeah, almost thirty years later and you're like,
I just hope you guys are best friends. That and
maybe when they're at the bar and one goes up
to order beers for the other one, he gives a
couple of hoots. The guy hoots right.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Be at for one year, going out every night and
just hooting at each other is so so funny to me.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Life before the internet, life before smartphones, you just had
to find entertainment on your own. Damn. That's so sweet. Though.
They both were enthusiastic. Yeah, and I wonder have said anything.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Oh, that's an interesting idea.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
That's just let wives have just known and just let them.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Well. The thing is is that one guy was an
owl breeder, and so it was kind of like part
of his thing. So he was recording all of the conversations.
That's another thing. He recorded every hoot. He has like
a journal for a year of just another man's hoots
back at him in the night time.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
I know, pre internet, pre smartphone. It was it awesome
or was it sad? It's up for you to decide.
My friend always made the joke because another when I
was waiting tables. Around the time you and I left
New York, they started to get phone access or Wi
Fi underground in the subways. But when you and I
lived there, yeah, no phones. It was like you lost
(20:28):
all reception and it was peace and trying lightly. It
was I read so many books on the f train,
It's unthinkable. And then when I got back, I was like, oh,
this is crazy, and another person's like, I hate it.
I hate that everybody's looking down on their phones and
out of each other. My friend Jessica was said, yeah,
but what was it before? Before when you read newspapers,
(20:49):
you would open a full newspaper. It was like building
a wall in front of your face. Yeah, she's so right. Yeah,
looking down on your phone, you can kind of have
I don't know, three hundred and fifty degrees a vision.
But when you open a newspaper like not today, rest
of this train, and then just build a little house
around your face. No, it is better.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I know that. I always there's a meme out there
about like, oh, the world was so much better before phones.
And then it's just a packed train with every man
with a newspaper in front of his face.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Yeah, just vibing, just everybody's vibe being on a deeper emotional,
spiritual level.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Don't worry, we'll be able to build that wall again soon.
Once the VR headsets happen. Guys, there, it's gonna be
a new chank. There's gonna be a new chink in
the dystopia future that we have in they have in
store for us, where everybody's just walking around with VR headsets.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
I know the introverts will rejoice. They'll just have their
own paradise. They'll just have their own living room on
their headsets, so no matter where they are, they're just
in their safe space, and God bless them, they need it.
Them take care. That's a great I mean god, But okay,
So if Lauren was going out every night and doing
bird calls and then you later found out that somebody
(22:05):
two streets over was responding, would you tell her? I
guess you would, right.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I guess, So it's a I do agree with you
that it is a question though.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yeah, right, they loved it.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
I think the It sounds like the wives like immediately
called their husbands over. So it was like immediately, I
think it was just like you fucking dumb son of
a bitch.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
If it was that that, I kind of like it.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Hey, idiots, get over your idiots.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
It would also be great if the tale was that
those two men hated each other for twenty years prior
to this, like that, yes, never find common ground. One
painted their door red, the other's mailbox was shaped like
a manatee. They couldn't stand each other, and then slowly
they fall in love from hooting at each other for
over a year. There is that nicer way to think
of it.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Yeah, it is an the way to think of it,
but it is very common, I especially in nineteen ninety six,
to just have a family. Wheers like, we don't get
divorced and so instead we live with a person we
revile every second we revile them.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Yeah, there's some of that. I mean, there's some of that. Okay,

This is a big story, Kurt. This might change your

ounces of ranch dressing in ten seconds at Belding competition.
Huh oh my ten seconds twenty four mis of ranch dressing.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
It's not in the bottle. It can't be in the bottle.
There's no way it's in the model. It's not on
the bottle. Okay, great.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
This was on Fox seventeen West, Michigan. That's a real
website dot com written by When you're talking about chugging dressing, Yeah,
there's only one woman you want on the scene and
posting to your block.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Jillian Berenson.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Jillian Berenson was sick that day. She had the sniffles.
She thought it could be cocos, so she stayed home.
Olivia Yatuma.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Oh yes, I met Olivia Yatuma. Thank you. Best in
the biz when it comes to jogabizt viscous.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Liquids, viscous high sodium, high calorie liquids in Western Michigan,
you call one woman, and you call her right away.
Olivia Yatuma. Belding, Michigan. The Harmful Rooster in Building hosted
its first ever chugging competition, where you would win by
chugging a twenty four ounce glass of their ranch dressing.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
So twenty four ounces, so like one ounces like a
table a pound. One ounce is a tablespoon though.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Around sure a shot glass, yeah yeah, so small shot glass,
So that's.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Probably I'm just trying to figure out what ranch comes
in clocks in a like.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Pint glass is sixteen ounces. Yeah, so it's one and
a half pint glasses in ten seconds of ranch dressing.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
It's also all of your calories for the day. It's
probably like two thousand and four hundred right there.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
It's pretty crazy. It only took ten seconds for competitor
zach Orvis to chug all twenty four ounces of the
ranch and take home the win. When asked how he
consumes so much ramp so quickly, Orvis said, I've seen
people pour that amount that amount on their salads, So
what's the difference.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I mean, he's got a line, he's got a line
for it.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
He's so nonchalant about That's also not an answer. He
could have said like, oh, I took a deep breath
and I didn't eat this morning, or I ate lots
of iceberg lettuce. I mean a little salad in my belly.
But no. Also in western Michigan, if you're putting twenty
four ounces of ranch on your salad, sign me up.
Orviis did, however, have his fair share of competition. The
Harmful Rooster cap the competition at twelve people.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
It's called the Harmful Rooster. Yes, okay, fun.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Name, Yeah, fun name.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
That's what you want anytime you want to go to
something called the Harmful Black Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
I know there are four people left on the waiting list.
They'll get him in next year because we're reporting it.
So it's going to be a big deal. One of
the competitors actually next year, if you want to, if
you get in on this will send you Banana's merchandise
to compete as a team Bananamal and we hope you
at least finish the twenty four ounces.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Or go to the violence Fueled Rooster and have a
great time.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
That's right, it's just down the street at the Serial
Killer Chicken Shack. Have fun. One of them. One of
the competitors was a ten year old named Jordan Petterley.
All Petterley had to say was I'm a kid. I'm
the youngest person here. Good luck.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Also, he should have said, I'm a kid. I'm the
only one who should be doing this.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Yeah, I could actually digest this. I'll be hungry in
two hours. One owner, Randy Roost, that's what it's called
rus DN, I think, came prepared for the big day,
making sure there were buckets by every competitor justin case,
you know, you'd get it. Rust had his competitor's sign
(28:34):
a waiver. How much more Midwest can you get than
guzzling ranch dressing, Bruce said, Still, rus clearly underestimated orvis.
I don't feel sick at all. It's just ranch dressing,
Orbis said moments after winning. Moments after winning, I don't
feel sick at all. It's just.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Also, you know what, I I this might be weird,
but I don't think of Michigan as the Midwest. For
some reason, I think of Wisconsin as the Midwest. I
think of Minnesota's the with Midwest. I think of Ohio
as the Midwest. But for some reason, I simply do
not take Michigan. I feel like Michigan has a different
(29:14):
character than the rest of the Midwest. I feel like,
I really do feel that.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
I mean the geographically, I think there could not be
more smack dab in the middle the Midwest. But I
know what you're saying, there's something about Michigan.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Yeah, there's something about Michigan. Maybe it's because they're so
far north. The mid means the mid it's got to
be in the center, you know.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
But there we need a new region up there. That's
what we need. We have a new region. Just cut
the Dakotas out there. The Dakota's are just the Dakotas
they can They probably very naturally a beautiful place. Yeah, nobody.
When you meet somebody from one of the Dakota's, it
is like meeting somebody from the moon. It's so fascinating.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Because there's five there's five people who live there.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
I know.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
When I was at UMass, I used to go to
all the Hasakasa meetings all like the I was just
friends with the Black student Union. I would just go
those meetings that sit there. They all thought I was fun.
So they were like, we don't care. And there's this
one kid that was like, yo, Scottie, I got into
grad school. I'm going for free. I wasn't aware he's
like North Dakota State. I was like, congratulations. He goes, yeah,
(30:22):
they're just giving scholarships any brown kid, and I go, man,
good luck, but he did. He was like I wasn't
even a good student. I had like a two point seven,
but they just accepted me. And I'm like, this is
one strategy, just zero diversity. And they're like, send us
you're not white people, and they get a full ride
for grad school. I hope that guy turned out alive.
(30:44):
I don't feel sick at all. It's just ranch dressing
or visaid moments after winning the competition. The prize sought
after all twelve competitions was a one hundred dollars a
gift card and a free order of All you can
Eat wings every week until the spring of twenty twenty five,
pretty good. Oh, not bad, that's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Wow. It also as if heat this guy needs any.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Orvis orvis Or.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
I'm worried about Orvis' health, is what I'm saying, Zach Orvis.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
They might live to regret that weekly all you can
Eat wings zach Orbs rolls through.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
That's tough. That's tough because it's it's a tempting offer.
It is a tempting offer to just know Thursdays are covered.
I know you could go in start earlier and earlier
two pm. It's it's all you can eat until clothes.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
But Randy Roost, the Randy rust, the owner of the
harmful Rooster, this guy gets it. If you're first of all,
it took ten seconds. It's it is a disgusting amount
of ranch dressing. But that doesn't warrant one thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
No, No, this is the.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Correct gift card. And until spring, not even a date.
Could be till the spring, could be April, could be.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
May, and also not a full year. Because he's he's
kind of figured it out. He's like, how much does
this guy eat?
Speaker 1 (32:09):
So we're talking max sixteen weeks of All you can
Eat Wings max and one hundred bucks. Maybe maybe that
can't show up one week, so he loses that. This
is a perfectly what's the word. I'm trying to say,
it's the perfect pairing. It's just great. Randy Ruster runs
a tight ship. And it's safe to say that these
(32:32):
competitors were ready to take on the ranch Orvis just
slammed it better than the rest. That's good writing. Rus
tells me that he is hopeful that this year will
be the first of many for this ranch chugging competition
again Western Michigan Ban Animals. If you get on that
list next year, we will send you a shirt and
a hat, and we will cheer you on, we'll shout
you out. We want somebody to win the ranch chugging competition.
(32:56):
You know what, harmful rooster.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
I just realized that it. This is a competition where
if you're not first, and if you don't win, you
lose so hard because you've just chugged's say.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Twenty four hours a ranch.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
But slightly slower than another person. You still chug twenty
four hours. You still did it. You still drag that
much ranch.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Yeah, it's in there, it's it's in there, and it's
only coming out. One of two ways. So good luck
and good luck to the the partners of these people
who had to sleep next to the person just sweating
out a pound and a half of ranch for probably
forty eight hours. It's yeah, yeah, but I do love
the spirit and I love papping it at twelve people,
(33:44):
and I do love the exactly correct prize for this competition,
and I hope next year Bananama wins it.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Mm hmm, go for it, pen Animals. I'm gonna tease
us into some shout outs here, Scottie, Oh.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Yeah, I got some.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
It unfollowed us a lot, and so many of you
have been like, oh my god, it actually did. But
we'll take every five star you can get. If we
get to eight thousand. Let me tell you we're in
a whole different stratus field podcast that we can keep
on keeping on. Here.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
It is Japanese Woman's Subduced Convenience Store Thief. This was
in Oh, Japan Today, written by Casey Basil Oh.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Very herbaceous writing. We love her.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Actually it might be Casey Bazil. I don't know. This
was an October fourth. Someone sent this in an big
I really apologized, guys, that's okay. It was a long
time ago. I mean it was October fourth, and I've
been saving it and moving it and trying to keep
doing it, and I keep not doing it, but now
I'm doing it here. It is like countless other people.
(39:24):
In Japan, twenty three year old Karen Rio walked into
a convenience store to do some shopping on the night
of September sixteenth, but while it's unclear for Yo ever
obtained what she'd got in the store in search of
while she was there, she decided to dispense some justice.
The incident occurred shortly before eight pm in the shitty
neighborhood that is its Shi Tte. I don't know how
(39:47):
shity shitty, It sounds like shitty neighborhood of the city
of Yokohama's Surrumi ward, slightly south of Tokyo. While Rio
was at the store, a man attempted to shop lift
a six pack of beer, and when he attempted to flee,
a clerk confronted him, two becoming entangled near the store's exit.
Noticing the altercation, Rio stepped in and, after ensnaring the
(40:10):
man's legs, brought him to the ground and put him
in a headlock. Uh The man attempted to break free
by biting Rio on her left forearm. With enough force.
The two weeks later, there are still visible teethmarks on
her skin. Rio's grippelled fast, though, and she kept the
man subdued until the police were summoned and arrived on
the scene, where he was placed under arrest. As an
(40:31):
office worker who works in Serumi, Rio's daily job does
not involve subduing criminals, so following the incident, some wondered
if maybe she has experience in martial arts training. But
that's not part of her background either. I've never done
martial arts. I took tea ceremony lessons, she says, instead
crediting a love of anime for her headlock technique. I
(40:53):
like anime, so I just sort of imitated what I've
seen in it.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (40:59):
At the time time, I wasn't scared. It felt like
my body was just moving on its own, Rio recalls,
adding that it wasn't until after the incident that she
stopped to think about the possibility that the man could
have had a knife or been otherwise armed. It's lightly
for that reason that, even as a representative for the
to Surrey Police Precinct praised her courage, he advised others
(41:19):
who might witness crime to prioritarize, to prioritize, to avoid
putting themselves at undue risk and contact the Police's.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
That's right, don't don't do it.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
If you don't, I mean, but how many times it's like.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
A gunless society. It's so different over there, it's so different.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
But how many times have you seen in your mind
the thing you were gonna do and then gone and
did something radically different?
Speaker 1 (41:48):
I mean every single time. When you know, we at
Sacred Heart in Glendon, Maryland, when we had like monthly
churches or whatever we had to go to mass, I
would just sit there and think about if terrorists broke
into this, how would I hide? Where would I hide here?
Like instantly go under the pew and crawl over here,
and then like go behind the baptismal phone. Then I'd
(42:10):
climb up the back of the giant organ pipes and
get up it, and like I would have a whole
battle plan. What was I going to do? I was
like ten years old, Yeah, but I'd seen the movie
Toy Soldiers, which is an underrated nineties hit, and yeah,
in my head, I had a whole escape route that
I was going to call nine one one then go
back in and start rescuing people. Like what am I talking? Asked?
(42:34):
I would have stood up too fast and gotten nosebleed,
farted and passed out. Like that's at best.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
You do all. I at least always wonder about those situations,
like do you do? Do I instinctually just do the
thing that needs to be done? And I hope I do,
But honestly, you just don't know until you're in that situation, right,
I know, I mean you maybe maybe maybe it works
to prime yourself to like dood do the good right thing,
(43:02):
you know, to go in and do help the person
instead of run away.
Speaker 1 (43:06):
Yeah, definitely have that in mind. But yes, it's but
what are you really going to do? It's over there. Also,
let's be real, like if somebody's smaller than me, my
confidence goes way up. If somebody's my slides are bigger, boy,
do I wimp out in a real hurry? But everybody
will just run? I mean, I'm a runner, let's face it.
(43:28):
It's interesting. I had a college professor and I can't
even remember the class. It was a communication class, I
know that, but he was like, raise your hands if
you know what the inside of an emergency room looks
like and he's like, keep them up if you've ever
been in an emergency room, and like ninety five percent
of the college kids went down, and there's like, raise
your hand if you know what the inside of a
courtroom looks like, and leave your hands up if you've
(43:48):
ever inside of court room, and like two hands state up,
and he kept doing it. It's like if you and
then he was like, if you think you know how
to load and fire a gun, raise your hand. And
he was like everything you think you know is because
TV taught you what this looks like and how it
is or movies. And it blew my mind at eighteen
because I was like, yeah, everything I think I understand about, Yeah,
(44:12):
what the inside of the White House looks like? What
I hadn't been on an international flight, like even getting
food on an airplane, I've never seen that, but I'd
seen on so many movies. It is crazy how much
knowledge we all have because of TV and movies that
you would never admit, Oh, I don't know what the
fuck I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
Oh yeah, and also intimate knowledge, intimate knowledge.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
Of what it looks like.
Speaker 2 (44:34):
Right, it would be really funny if the like there
wasn't actually an oval office, like not a real one,
you know what I mean. It would be so funny
if if the President's office was just kind of another roub.
He's like, well, this is where I spend all my time.
Speaker 1 (44:51):
Yeah. I think sometimes when I go to zoos now,
like San Diego Zoo or whatever, and I see an
animal and I realize I've seen it on Planet or
Earth or Blue Planet or all the things I've watched
for the last forty years, It's like sometimes I'm like, oh, yeah,
I know exactly what this is, but it's the first
time you see the real McCoy, and that is it's
just weird our understanding. I've never been to Africa. I've
(45:12):
never been any countries in Africa, and I feel like
I could really tell you about so far As in
Kenya and what South Africa looks like from paragliding, and
just walk you through Egypt. I could just give you
a perfect tour of Egypt. And I've never been and
we're close to Africa. I know what the lemurs are
doing in Madagascar.
Speaker 2 (45:31):
They're standing up, they're looking around. They can't find the
thing they're looking for.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
If I have told this I'm so sorry. But my
friend Dell grew up in Manhattan, and Dell, he was
a great dude, is a great dude, but he is.
He's a black guy who went to school in Upper
or West Side Manhattan and as a school field trip,
they bust all the kids out to where in the
(45:57):
world is Carmen San Diego? The the hit game show
for kids and after school highlight show in the nineties,
and he advanced and they gave him the continent of
Africa and the way that the final round, if you won,
they would say, here's the United States, and they would
go Tennessee and you had to put like a flag
thing and had a light on it, and if you
(46:18):
got it right, you moved on. You got five of
them or whatever ten of them you won for the day.
And I know they they were prejudiced. I know they
gave del Africa because he was a black kid, really
and he did not get one right.
Speaker 2 (46:31):
Yeah, but he's confusing.
Speaker 1 (46:34):
Yeah, large air so hard because they didn't give him
South Africa start with a layout the southernmost country and
this poor kid is running around on TV just biffing it.
So but then you go, yeah, if they if I
had Asia and they go Japan, I go got it,
they go China, got it. And then when they start
to go Vietnam or Malaysia or Bangladesh, I'm oh, I might.
Speaker 2 (46:59):
But you know, my brother is in the State Department,
and so he would he would play this game with
me where he would just name he would name capitals
of countries and then I would have to name the country.
I could not name one if you put like if
I had a blank map of South America and of Africa,
(47:24):
and I would even Europe. I would get the majority wrong,
like I could pick out Italy because it's a boot shape.
Speaker 1 (47:31):
Because you know, ignorant.
Speaker 2 (47:34):
So like I just geography has never been a thing,
even the United States. I have a general idea, but
actually no, like Olive and Gus came across this like
little map.
Speaker 1 (47:45):
It was.
Speaker 2 (47:46):
It was a puzzle for kids, and it's all wooden pieces,
and all the wooden pieces are the States. Even that
we spent hours just being like this is what I know.
This one's main but that's pretty much and then it stops.
Speaker 1 (48:02):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I know. We I was doing
bar Trivia and silver Lake right before the Great Choir,
and I was with Blake and Mikey and my other friends.
And then the final round for our trivia team were
state capitals and you had to send one person from
your team up to the stairs, so it wasn't that
bar public house that's closed now. And then it was
first every time you got one wrong or you repeated one,
(48:24):
you were eliminated, and they sent me up and I
just held a few in the back of my in
the back pocket, like everybody knows, sort of the basic ones.
But I was sitting on Maryland, which everybody thinks is Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (48:35):
Oh wait, wait, let me think, I think Columbia, right, No, no, oh,
what is it?
Speaker 1 (48:41):
Annapolis?
Speaker 2 (48:41):
Annapolis?
Speaker 1 (48:43):
And so that's like a sneaky one. And then Florida.
Everybody thinks it's like Jacksonville or Miami or one, and
it's Tallahassee. And so I was just sitting on these
capitals and we ended up winning the round and winning
the game. But it was so funny just to watch
four adults no clue because once somebody named one, you
were like, oh, California, You're like Sacramento, Okay, that's easy, yeah,
(49:06):
And then you get to the middle and you're like,
is it Omaha or is it Lincoln And does it matter?
I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (49:15):
Also, it's interesting as cities that capitals are for the
most part, disappointment city, not the best city, they're disappointment
cities like Sacramento. Do you want to go to Sacramento?
Speaker 1 (49:29):
I think about Sacramento more than the average person you do.
I think you know people that hate California, they really
hate La and San Francisco. They don't hate the whole state.
You can't hate California because you're like, oh, you hate Yosemite,
Well then you're a monster. You hate the Redwoods, go
to hell. Yeah. But I'm like, and then Sacramento is
(49:50):
sitting right there, and I'm like, what they should just
inject so much money and culture into that city and
just make it so unique and so cool and just
build it to be something new. And instead it's.
Speaker 2 (50:03):
Like, nah, I will I hear that, just because San
Francisco is so insane, the Bay Areas so looney Tunes,
looks like in its own world with prices, that Sacramento
is starting to become cool. That is, I know one
person that lives there and they're just like, it's starting
to become cool now.
Speaker 1 (50:20):
So look at that. Hope that's true. I look at
the barbecue there once. I still did a boutique motel
there once. That was really cool. I think it needs
to be a great California city. So I'm pro Sacramento. Yep,
it's an educational podcast.
Speaker 2 (50:34):
Here's one of educational Send us home, Scottie, send us God.
Speaker 1 (50:40):
This was so funny, I might save it for our
next guest. Okay, yeah, let me just one that work.
Steph Schrader. Thank you, Steph Shrader. You always send great stories.
Thank you, Steph. This was in science alert dot com,
so you know it's got to be maybe real. Written
by Michelle Starr Best in the Biz. Also sounds like
a fake name for Science alert dot com, but thank
you Michelle Starr for doing the lord's work. Rock used
(51:04):
as doorstep for decades turns out to be worth over
one million dollars. One man's trash is another man's treasure,
but a chunk of rock used to keep a door
open for decades is a treasure by pretty much any
metric you might use. Good writing. The three point five
kilogram ak seven point seven pound stone was found in
a stream bed in southeast Romania by an elderly woman
(51:26):
who brought it home and put it to use as
a doorstop. Her discovery turned out to be one of
the biggest intact chunks of amber in the world, its
value somewhere in the region of one point one US
million dollars.
Speaker 2 (51:40):
Oh my god, Oh my god. Did she get the money?
Did she get the money?
Speaker 1 (51:43):
The elderly woman who found this particular rumnite nugget ba
blah blah blah. No. The woman died in nineteen ninety one,
but a relative inherited her home suspected the doorstop might
be more than meets THEI. On learning what he had,
he sold the amber to a Romanians, to the Romanian state,
who had it a praise by experts at the Museum
(52:05):
of History in Krackow And, Poland. According to these experts,
amber is like this amber is likely between thirty eight
and seventy million years old. What a guest, am it?
What a nice range, A.
Speaker 2 (52:18):
Giant forty five million year range. It's just it's somewhere
in somewhere, essentially saying it's old. We don't know if
it's old or really old.
Speaker 1 (52:28):
So that guy scored a million dollars from the Romanian state,
and then it resembles a man in Michigan, which is,
according to us, not a Midwestern state. But you can
sound off in our DMS.
Speaker 2 (52:38):
Sound off in our DMS sound off.
Speaker 1 (52:41):
Who kept us a large Oh? He kept a large
piece of rock as a doorstop, only to be found
he was keeping a meteorite that was worth over one
hundred thousand dollars. So check your doorstops. Stops using a rock.
Speaker 2 (52:54):
Okay, well, I like I like a rock doorstop. There's
to have a manufactured doorstop. When rocks are everywhere we live,
pile of rocks, use one.
Speaker 1 (53:09):
To put your door open. That's right. Well, thank you everybody,
exactly right.
