I agree, and I've I've never once thought of it.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I have never thought of that.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
And it seems like such an obvious mental little experiment. Well,
join us on the wings of a little love story
that we call Bananas.

off our chest. And that might be that we have

Speaker 2 (01:28):
We may have a show on May eighth in Chicago.
It may be a banana show instead of Kurt stand
up show. We are coming to you live. I'm looking
at Scottie. I'm I'm sitting across a marble desk from Scottie.
Speaker 1 (01:44):

Speaker 2 (02:04):
What's going on? What did you do today? What did

Speaker 1 (02:07):
I joined? The big update is I joined a co
ed all skills baseball sandlot league called the La Trap.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
So many qualifiers for that description.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
We got guys, gals, we got non binary pals, okay,
all ages.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Well, it has to be in sand so sandlot.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Is like a type of baseball. It's like local, crappy baseball.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Do you play with a stick and just a stitch
together group of rubber bands?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
It felt that way. It was no, it was actually excellent.
My friend Nick Williams, who's a great writer he started
a couple of years ago, had invited me. I'm a
Maryland guy. I grew up playing lacrosse because I'm a
white guy from Maryland. And when you're born, they hand
you a stick and they go go out there, out there,
from cradle to cradle and break some teeth that's right
(02:57):
and so but this year I wanted to do it.
It was on Sunday. We had our first game. It
was the Rush Hour versus the road Ragers. Okay, my
team lost in the last inning, but boy, it was
so fun.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Was it awesome?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
It was great.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Do people drink during the game.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yes, I played. I got you kind of shuffle around
a couple managers. So I played center field. When I
had centerfield. After going through a few innings and seeing
the competition, I knew not too many balls were coming
out to centerfield, so I took a beer with me
in center field. So exciting. Yeah, and it was great
and it was it was just so fun. My I
don't know what my obliques are sore from swinging a
(03:35):
baseball bat just right under your breast, yeah, just under
my breasts are soreer than the normal tender to the touch.
And it was so great. We played six innings because
we had an allotted time before we had to give
up the rest. But yeah, I'm gonna play. It's a
monthly league and apparently the best game of the year
is the Halloween game where you come in costume.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Oh that sounds so much fun.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I'm in so yes, thank you to Nick and everybody
at the La Traffic Sandlote Baseball League.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Oh wow, I love it. It was Olive's birthday this
week and that's what I did.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
How old is young Olive? Wow?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
She is eight years old and it is my god,
it's a delightful ad.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
That's a good age for kids.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I think I spent five years, five to eight years
complaining about children, Yes you did, and how difficult they are,
and now we are in such a sweet spots.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Guy, that's nice.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
It is a delight I mean, like, look, did Gus
scream from five pm to eight thirty pm on Sunday? Yeah,
because it's not his day and he was very upset. Yeah,
of course we dealt with that. Is it a high
pitch screaming? Yet it's a high pitch screaming? Does it
hurt your ears?
Speaker 1 (04:49):
It hurts your ears, of course.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
But still it's just such a delightful time right now.
Her thing, so our thing is like, we don't do
big birthday parties for like ten, Yeah, ten will be
the next big birthday party. So her last big birthday
party was five. Yeah it's ten and then fifty yep,
And so we just did like three buddies and went
(05:11):
to a movie eleven am movie.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
WHOA, that's a great birthday.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
It was a really everybody was psyched about it. Easy
an easy lift, and everybody had a great time. Then
went to the Cheesecake Factory. Yeah fun, I mean, come on,
that place was made for birthdays.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Menu was a little small for my taste, but I
have extremely universal worldwide. I like to know what every
food in the galaxy tastes like. And I won it
within twenty minutes.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
And I want it on a plate the size of
an actual table.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yes, when they put they started putting calorie counts on
in New York and California, and that changed the game
at cheesecake Factory because I would go in overorder and
then you just see what those avocado egg roll appetizers
are and you're like, these alone are sixteen hundred calories a.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Full day of calories.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I'll take two.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
So we saw Disney's Snow White.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
How was it? Uh? Oh? I can already tell I would.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Like to apologize to every single human being involved in
that movie. Oh my gosh, it is maybe the worst
movie I've ever seen in my entire life.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I have at least in theaters.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Oh, definitely in theaters.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
It was holy crap.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I mean, there can't be It can't be true that
the only person who can write music that's bearable to
listen to his lin Manuel Miranda. That can't be true.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
He stretched a little thin these days.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
That can't be true that he's the only one who
could possibly write a song that sounds good in a
Disney movie. But since since Incanto, we've got nothing but
crap from Disney movies. Their songs are terrible. Yeah, this
was the most unlike forgettable music. It was unbearable to
watch the unsoarable for children's I was just like I
(07:02):
was making like loud noises doing It's just like, oh
there was at one point, so the you and you know,
the dwarves are like this seven yard this weird AI animation.
It looks like they took and this is from an
old joke I did, but this is what it looks like.
It looks like they took uh pringles, soaked them in
(07:25):
a bowl of water overnight, and then use that goop
to just mold roughly mold human face and then animate
it with an artificially intelligent life form. It is so creepy,
every single one of them. Looking at them, you feel
a deep unsettling in your soul looking at them. They
(07:47):
neither look real nor do they look fake. They occupy
some strange space that makes you comfortable with yourself and
sitting in the seat feels weird when you're looking at them.
Dopey character is so upsettingly like their eyes are so moist.
(08:07):
When I say that their eyes are moist.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
They got wet eyes.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
They have such wet eyes in every shot. Their eyes
are the wettest eyes you've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
The a. I just think humans cry all the time.
They're just so bummed about their height. They're like these
dowarves will be a little They're on the verge of
a nervous breakdown at all times because they are not
as tall as snow white is.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
How is Gal Gadott? Oh fine, Yes, she doesn't have much.
Look everybody everybody does a like. The actors are doing
good jobs.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I can sing that actress can really she can sing sing. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Then that's why I say I apologize to everyone involved
in it, oh man, because it's like everybody worked really
hard on that, and I'm sure and I think the
only people to blame are like the higher ups at Disney,
of course, who just all beat this to death so
that all life and creativity was sucked out of it.
And you have like, it's it's gonna be such a flop,
(09:02):
it's gonna be crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Did the kids like it? Did all of his friends
think it was fun? Like, kids don't really understand. Yeah,
if it's visually fun, they might like it. Right.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
You also have to realize, like, this is a generation
that was raised on Coco melon. Have you ever seen
Coco Melon?
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Oh? I don't.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
It looks like it was animated by like like if
you left a cell phone from twenty seventeen alone it
decided to start animating a children's show. Oh that's what
it looks like. It looks so upsetting and gross. Okay,
and kids like they they loved it. They loved looking
at a big, old headed, weirdokai kids. So I think
(09:38):
they're just used to bad stuff. Now.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
The future is so bright, it is so so bright.
Quality does not exist anymore. That's a rare movie review.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
That is a rare movie review. I rarely review movies,
but while I was watching it, I was like, I
have to talk about how much I.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Disclike, I can't. I'm so glad you did. I wasn't
going to go eat that one. That one is not.
I don't really like any of the remakes. I saw
Lion King and I saw Jungle Book, and I was like,
I get it. It's the exact same movie I paid
for again, only computer animated instead of hand drawn. Yeah,
by Huming beings. I went when I was a young
(10:18):
person that the three I can think of were for
birthdays movie birthdays. Yes. Ski Patrol still a great movie,
Still a great movie. Nobody talks about Ski Patrol. Very funny,
weird movie.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Ski Patrol an out Cold two of the best ski
movies ever.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Last Boy Scout, The Last Boy Scout Bruce Willis, I
think Damon Wayams.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Is that a somebody's gonna blow up the Super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Yeah, there's a guy that run The Open is a
football game, and a man pulls out a gun while
he's running with the football and he is shooting other
players in the kneecaps and then kills himself in the
end zone. So that is what you call a teaser. Folks,
You are wondering what happens and I know, and then
Ace Ventura the original Aceventur I went to for a birthday,
and I remember laughing harder than I've ever laughed with
(11:05):
my friends in my life. And when you look back
at it now, it's the craziest, over the top movie, imaginable.
But we just left quoting Aceventura.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Yeah, no, of course, awesome makes sense.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Three great, three six hours of my life. I don't
want back. I'm glad, it's glad they happened. I'm not
recouping anything.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Oh man, well that's it. I don't think I've I
went to any movie you have to have for somebody else.
I really don't think so. I don't know what's in
a Jersey thing. No, we would go to arcades for
best days, an Arcade Birthday, the.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Dream Machine and Cranberry Mall. You just get four tokens
at a time. That's how cheap things were. Four You
had a paper bracelet and you showed it. You got
four tokens, which would be four plays. Yeah not anymore,
maybe not anymore. Now it's you have to get a card.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
It's each one. But even with the card, they're still
like this costs thirteen credit, and it's like, why just
make it? It's all a card. All of it's imaginary.
Why does it have to cost them?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Choose your own pricing. Tell me about these humans with wings?
Speaker 2 (12:12):
These Kora, I'm just banging through. We're having a yard
sale episode. I got a lot of ones that are
like pretty good, and I just want to get through them.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Also, thank you to Sabrina, who is helping us our
first recording in studio. I can already tell she's doing
a wonderful job.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
I really thank you, Thank you, Sabrina. If humans could fly,
how big would our wings be? This is in Live Science.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
That's good. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
This by Elena Spivac.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I went to high school with some Spivaks.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
I'm not even going to read this. I'm just going
to tell you, Scotty, how what do you think how
big door wings need to be if humans fly?
Speaker 1 (12:47):
I would say pretty big because I often stare at
birds and compare my own physique to that.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
I do as well, and that's why it's weird that
we haven't ever thought of it.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Yeah, so I would say I would say thirteen feet
on each side, twenty six feet total.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Twenty feet. Okay, that's what a guy says.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Pretty good, That's what.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Some guy says it is just one person. I'll tell
you who it is. It's Tie Hendrick, a professor of
biology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
And he said, you know what, which I thought was
surprisingly small, And I do think twenty feet is kind
of small, a little small. I'd be embarrassed. And the
question is is that if you if they were like
(13:26):
wings like a bird, people imagine them coming out of
your back, right, first thought, yea, so then you would
have to have shoulders in your back. Yes, so that's
strange to have shoulders in your back. And also you
would have to have an enormous amount of upper body
like muscles around your chest, so your chest would be
(13:47):
like holding everything. Yeah, can you imagine, and so like
some birds have most of their muscles in their chest.
So anyway, what Tie says. What Tie says Tie Hendrick
is he proposes, in this imaginary situation that it's bat
like instead, so that they just drop from your arms. Yeah,
(14:10):
well you're saying, okay, grosser, And that's what Tye says.
Ty says, Oh, this is how it would be. But
that also means both arm is ten feet.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
With a droopy skin mess.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
A big Scroto hanging down.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Yeah, look at Scrota. It's just Scotty going to Trader Joe's.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
And also, have you seen the way of a batflies
compared to a bird.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
All over the place.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
It's all over the place. Imagine a human being flapping, flappy,
flapping with his skin, his little scrotum skin out. That's
what Tye is looking for in his future. No, thank you, sir.
I'd rather have a twenty six foot wingspan and have
beautiful feathers.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Oh. Absolutely, there's no competition. You could pluck one out
and sign big oversized checks with it. Hell at the banks,
are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
All you need to do is bring a little bit with.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Just a little enough for just your name, with those
big beautiful wings. I've read a movie script once that
has stuck with me to this day. I actually tried
to get a director attached and like help produce it.
It was called Chariot and it was a horse racing
movie like Sea Biscuit, but the horse was a man.
(15:21):
The neck to head was a man's torso, arms and
head a centaur. Yeah so a centaur, Yeah, I guess
so a centaur. And the idea was when the horse
galloped and was running races. He would pump his arms
so it looked like a guy running with four horse
legs and only the jockey, and.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Well there was a jockey for him.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yeah it was Yeah, it was like it was exactly
like Sea Biscuit, only the horse was a guy that
could talk, but only the jockey and the other horses
couldn't understand it, but the jockey and the owner could
or the trainer could, and it was so funny, like
he was just a Chariot was the name of the horse.
(16:06):
This is why Hollywood is making snow whites and not
actual good movies like Chariot, the racehorse movie with a
man's horse so pumping his arms as he passes horses
in the street.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Love that someone wrote that, Oh my god, I want
it to be made so bad.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
There's so many great movies like that out there, and
you know, we'll just never see him speaking of flying.
Keith sent this in. I did Keith. I didn't see
any other name, but thank you. You can always send

matters so much, Apple, Spotify, matter you name it will
(16:43):
take it. TSA, Oh, speaking of flying, TSA finds surprising
number of prohibited items in woman's bag, including eighty two
fireworks and three knives. That's so many fireworks.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
It is a lot of fireworks.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
And NBC News has had two writers it's just that good,
Lindsey Good and David k Lee, who when it comes
to TSA news stories, these two are the best in
the frickin' business. Really are Security at Los Angeles International Airport.
We've been there. I have stopped a traveler from taking
(17:20):
a surprising number of prohibited items on a Philadelphia bound flight,
including dozens of fireworks and multiple weapons. The incident unfolded
at ten pm on December fifteenth, when the Transportation Security
Administration officers flagged a woman who had put her carry
on bag through the X ray machine at Terminal four.
The TSA officer was shocked to find the bag contained
(17:44):
eighty two consumer grade fireworks, three knives, two replica firearms,
and one canister of pepper spray. She was about to
have the ride of her life.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
What is going on? And she put it through.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
The yeah wow, smart intelligent person, the TSA say and
a statement Friday, the sheer number of prohibited items discovered
in a single carry on bag is extremely concerning, said
Jason Pantags, the TSA Federal security director at the airport.
This traveler should have followed DSA's tried and true advice
(18:19):
unpack your bag before you pack it to ensure you
don't bring any prohibited items to security checkpoint. That's being
very generous.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yeah, no, that she just happened to be walking around
with what was a bear spray, eighteen knives and eighty
three It.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Might as well have been it was eighty two consumer
grade fireworks, three knives, two replica firearms, so two fake guns,
and one canister of pepper spray. She was going to
try to crash that plank. Oh, Mike, that's what Either yeah,
or she really hates holiday travel, thank you. Pantages urged
travelers to be particularly mindful as weak blah blah blah.
(18:55):
That's holiday traveler's clock. You get it. We're in the
midst of a holiday travel season. Your checkpoints will be
busy everywhere, he said. Let this incident serve as a
reminder to all travelers to double check the contents of
your bag before coming to the airport.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Did I ever tell you about the time I was,
Oh boy, I was going through. Swear to God, Swear
to I believe you already. People in front of me,
Russian couple just trying to travel with a shovel, And.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Why wouldn't it six foot tall shovel? Where are you
going to get one when you land? One of the
hardest items to find anywhere in the world.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
They put it on the thing and they had to
travel through it. I was just imagining the TSA agent
who's watching the little thing, and then all of a
sudden just seeing the beginning of a shovel, and then
the long part of the shovel and the end of
the shovel come through, and then them taking it and going,
you can't. And they were livid. They were livid that
they could not bring their shovel. It was post nine
(19:53):
to eleven. They could not bring their shovel on the plane.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Shovel is a great weapon, So are you kidding me?
You could take out anybody with thish sho anybody. There's
not an animal in history. You couldn't just throw that
shovel like a spear, take its head right off. You've
never seen a sperm whale anywhere near a shovel, and
that is not a coincidence. That's I do feel like
(20:17):
the TSA has existed now for twenty four years. And
if you go through the TSA line, and I think
if the metal detector beeps and you don't have metal
in your body, you don't have any replacement, you don't
have screws in your ankle, that you should have to
miss that flight. I think you should be sent home
(20:39):
for twenty four hours at this point. Twenty four years
a prep if you're from another country, I understand. If
you're an American and you still set off the metal
detector after twenty four years, you missed the flight for
twenty four hours. The number of times I've seen you
and I travel a lot, especially when we're doing like
banana shows. The number of times I've seen somebody be like,
(21:01):
send a bottle, a plastic bottle of water through that
thing and get called out for it, Kurt. Never once
in my life have I held a plastic bottle so
this should belong inside luggage and then zipped it up
and saved it. No, you have your metal container. If
they go, hey, you can't bring that on you dump
it out. It's the It's in the dozens of times
I've seen people have to empty plastic water bottles out
(21:24):
of their carry on bag. Bam.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
My favorite person is the person who goes through at
beeps that come out and they're like, they're just looking
around bewildered, and they just have like a gigantic watch
off and like it and they're like, yeah, to take
your watch off and they're like.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
All right, I didn't have to do it, all right.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
You know, and then they take it off. Then they
go through and it beeps again and they're like what
could have been? And then it's like do you have
a belt on? It's like, oh, it take off a
gigantic metal belt. So they just keep doing it.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Twenty four hour band, or they have to mop the cafeteria. Okay,
that would be fine. Yeah, hey, you're an idiot mop
the cafeteria. It's really odd how often that happens. And
yet don't carry water bottles in your suitcases. Just drink
the water, or don't pack it. You just don't need
to pack a plastic water bottle, I'm sorry, But also
(22:16):
pack a shovel. It's very funny, you know. I briefly
worked at a greenhouse, and on my first day of work,
I had to go set up some of those big tents,
like out in a sports field. And so my boss
was my uncle, and he had a friend there and
we get the tent set up and then we had
to drive big steaks into the ground of tyropes to
(22:38):
to secure it so win blow away. And so my
uncle and his friend are watching me first day of work.
They hand me a sledgehammer and I swing it at
the stake and I hit the wood and snap the
sledgehammer's head off. I hit just I missed it. I
hit the and it was a big metal steak head
that my uncle's like, oh oh, all right, and then
(23:02):
went and got a second one and I swung it
and hit the wood and cracked a person break yeah,
first swing, and then after that he was like, I'll
just do it. But on my first day of work,
at seven am, pitching the tent, I broke. I really
broke two sledg chambers, but one inoperable had snapped off,
and the other one embarrassingly bad in front of one
(23:22):
of his peers. So I would say that was my
that was my dwarf moment on snow white. Ah, yeah, yeah,
I would have been. I would have been dopey that day,
and I admit it.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
You would have just been wet eyed dope.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah, just crying in the rain, all right.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Florida man dressed in Dalmatian onesie, yes, runs troopers canines
and shakes off tasers before he's caught a girlfriend's home
the next day. Okay, there it is, Okay, I like it.
This was the New York Post.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Oh, don't go.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Look, we don't love the New York Post.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
We don't.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Some times we have to read from him by Caitlin McCormick.
Thank you, Caitlyn McCormick.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
It's not her fault. Caitlyn. Get out of there as
soon as you can.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
He was easy to spot.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
M good.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
I mean, this is why we do this is why
we do it.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
So why I wake up in the morning.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
A Florida man bizarrely dressed in a Dalmatian onesie bolted
during a traffic stop after being handcuffed on one wrist,
and he remained on the lamb for an entire day
for finally being caught at his girlfriend's home. Florida Highway
patrol were in hot pursuit of thirty six year old
Keith Devereaux for nearly a day full adult if they
attempted to pull him for reckless driving just after midnight
(24:36):
January twenty seventh. Devereux had allegedly been driving erradically, stopping
and pulling away at high speeds while dropping off a passenger.
So this is so the cops start chasing him. He
drops off a passenger, and they don't mess with the passenger.
That guy just goes somewhere chane uber. He ran, and
then he rammed his car into a tree. He got
(24:58):
out of the wreckage and then and tried to keep running.
He got tasered then they Despite being shocked, Devro picked
a fight with the trooper and began to push and
thrash against him. That's crazy, once again attempting to take
off somehow, he successfully fled. By this point, his truck
was wrecked, he'd been tased by the troopers, and he
was still one wrist handcuffed, and yet he went straight
(25:21):
to his girlfriend's home, one place authorities were almost guaranteed
to check first.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Yeah, that was his one mistake, right, Uh?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
They got to his girlfriend's home that night. His girlfriend's
home at the time, and told troopers that she didn't
want anyone to go inside, including Devreux, because they had
drugs inside. Oh, she didn't want to face jail time.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Yeah, it's been good to be upfront about that. You're right,
it does seem like a.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Weird Florida person's idea of that coming here. I can't
let you in. I got drugs in here, drugs galore.
There's so many drugs. I wouldn't let you wore anybody in.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
That's just smart chance giving them up.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Yeah, they give And I don't think she got arrested.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
She was honest.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Oh no, no, there it is okay. Possession of methamphetamine,
of course.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Well that's gonna happen. I mean, that does explain his
endless enthusiasm for escape.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
It doesn't explain the Dalmatian onesie. But I like the
idea that he just wears that that's just the way
he goes. Look at him. It's a nice Dalmatian onesie.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Oh hereah and he yeah, he looks like a formidable opponent.
With or without the onesie. I would not want to
have to wrestle that guy. To the ground. He looks
pretty tough. That jaw. You can crack a pumpkin over
that jaw.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Yeah, it is a pumpkin cracking jaw.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
That guy would have twenty four inch wings, no doubt
about it. I bet he wished he did have those
at some point, but.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
He was twenty four inch wigs. Wigs, just a little
two footter, little cupid wigs.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
But just get off me. Florida is so interesting. You
and I really like Saint Augustine. We do. We like
the keys. The keys are fun.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
I have never been and I want to got.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yeah, we gotta do a banana show on the keys.
That has to happen. I mean, I've had really nice
times all around and then you hear these things and
you go, oh, it's isolated, but it's really not. You
go to a gas station in Jacksonville, Florida. Just stand there.
If you have to fill up your full gas tank.
You're gonna see a guy in a Dalmatian suit run
by screaming. Somebody's going to try to sell you an
(27:22):
iPad that's just duct tape plywood with permanent marker drawn
on screen. It is.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
It is a wild place, and my theory is that
it's just so hot that people just go crazy.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Yeah, they must.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
It's so we were there.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I was there for something and it was just Miami.
Was the heat in Miami. I was just like it
boggled my mind. I just couldn't function. I would walk
outside and not be able to think.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Yeah, I get it, I get it. I also think
maybe the effects of constantly being bitten by sharks and
also mercury poisoning from constantly eating groupers. And which is
it's just a magic cocktail that we call Florida that honestly,
it could use a reset. It could use a reset,
(28:10):
but uh, here's one for you.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Give it to me.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Hmm, what's a fun one? Oh? This is Yeah, let's
keep going on with that that sort of general theme.
Chabron James sent this in Thank you, Chabron James. Great name.
It is good. Power outage caused by a Tennessee mayor
who crashed while reaching for a sausage biscuit. Oh all right,
the mayor told SBN he leaned over to pick up
(28:35):
a sausage biscuit. Before he knew it, the poll was
right in front of him. This was written by Caleb Wethington.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
I like that he has to lean all the way over,
Like I'm imagining his faces at the seat level. He
was picking it up with his mouth.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Yeah. And I imagine him getting in the car early
that morning, donut mouth, two cups of coffee, tossing the
sausage biscuit into the footwell of the passenger seat, and
then peeling out in his front yard in his Pontiac Firebird, Springfield, Tennessee.
This was on ws and the dot com. The downtown
area of Springfield experience a power outage took out the
(29:11):
alts out power outage on Wednesday due to a crash
on Seventh Avenue, according to w SMV four news partner
Smokey Barn News.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Smokey Barn that's what it says, that's what SMB stands for.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Smokey Barn News reported the crash damage utility pole which
caused the outage. Live wires were also exposed and fell
over the awning of a nearby funeral home. Oh man, man,
this is good. This is almost If it had hit
an open casket and that body came back to life
and walked out of there, then.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
That's the only way it gets about anyway. The story
is right up your outage.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Oh, I love when that happens. It was extinguished shortly
after boo. The downtown area of Springfield is currently experiencing
a power outage. Former Springfield Springfield Mayor Billy Cornell was
that the driver.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Every character in this story is.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Spring Mayor Billy Paul Cornell was the driver of the
crash vehicle. Cornell told SPN that he leaned over to
pick up his sausage biscuit, and before he knew it,
the poll was right in front of him. The former
mayor was not injured, thank goodness, and crash still hungry.
I would guess Springfield Electric was able to restore service
to some customers. All the portions of.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Some are living in darkness for the rest of the year.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
All the portions of downtown are still without power as
repairs continued to be made. He risked it all for
a sausage biscuit. I love it.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
It must have been in the wheelwell right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Got and he tossed it. He's probably yelling with his
ex wife.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
It was, yeah, and he tossed it and it bounced.
It bounced out of the seat right back, dam right
all right, I'll do it. Uh, you know, Scotty. I
sent this to Scotti. I sent this story to Scotty
and I said, did this happened again? It felt like
I was having you. Definitely did want Well, there might
(31:05):
be multiples. I was searching and I did find it.
It's just I think it only happened once. But does
anybody remember that story we did about the golden toilet
being stolen out of a out of a castle in England. Well,
guess what, folks, golden toilet was stolen from English palace again.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Yes, go back and get it. And this too.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
This golden toilet is called America. It's an art piece.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
No remember that?
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Yeah, and you can you can use it. It's actually
a functioning toilet that's made of solid gold, and it's
a three minute time limit and it's like part of
an art exhibition.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
And then I would love to be in that toilet.
I would love to.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Apparently, the gold itself is worth like almost four million dollars,
and that's why it keeps getting stolen. You think this
place would have more security, but it doesn't. These guys
literally just took two cars and just rammed one through
a door and then broke a it's in a normal bathroom.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Four million is a life changing amount of money. Yeah,
so I can understand the impulse. Times are tough out there.
People are dropping sausage, biscuits, nobody's grown wings.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Blenham Palace, I remember making fun of Blenham Palace. Yeah,
this is I mean, like Blenham Palace needs to put
this thing behind a glass door or something.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
What it makes a palace a palace?
Speaker 2 (32:30):
That's a great question.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
What's the difference between a castle and a palace, and
a palace and a mansion.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
I stayed in a castle quote unquote in Ireland and
it was awesome. It was so much fun. It was
like summer camp and it was just a house. Yeah,
it was just a big building.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
It was just a hotel where the floor's stone.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
No, okay, there was no thing about it that was
castley other than outside there was like, you know, kind
of like a thing. Ye yeah, okay, and that's it.
But it was built. I think maybe it used to be,
I don't. I mean, like I think it opened in
the fifties.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
So pretty new castle, pretty new castle. Yeah. Yeah. I
was riding horses in near Limerick. I think I was
in a place called Castle Fergus or Fergus, and there
was a beautiful castle that looked like something out of
Game of Thrones. Huh. And the farmer was walking the
(33:27):
horse Bluey, my horse, and I was like, does anybody
live there, and goes, oh, yeah, it's fully renovated inside.
It's really nice. I was like, that's cool. It's like, yeah,
some millionaire billionaire from Toronto lives there with his wife.
And I was like, coolest guy moved to Ireland, took
over an old castle, made it modern and now is
just surrounded by horse farms.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
And I'm like, all right, would you want to live
in a castle, Scottie.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Yeah, I think I would like to live in a castle,
but we don't really have them in the United States.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
I don't know if I would want to live in
a castle. Yeah, it seems to be drafty. Place, seems
to be too large for many for many families.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
I'll tell you what thing I do. You know, being
raised middle class, I've always had an aversion to rooms
and houses that don't get used, because when you would
visit rich people or even upper middle class, they always
had like a second living room that nobody used. They
would always have a room down off of a finished
(34:29):
basement that just like sometimes had some gym equipment in
it or something. But that to me is very useless
to heat and cool and light and all that stuff.
But also it's just tacky to me to have rooms
you don't use. So, you know what, I take it back,
I wouldn't want to live in a castle because castles
probably have empty rooms all over the place, all over
the place.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
And then it makes it to me when you have
too many rooms, it makes the rooms you do use
seem less important or less good. You know, it's like,
we got tons of.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
These, you know, we don't need it. Yeah, you don't
need it at all. I do want to build a
house one day that has a rotating plexiglass like parapit
called a thunderstorm room that has a really comfortable like
L shaped stuff in it, and the floor can rotate
so that you could sit in it and watch thunderstorms
(35:20):
roll in safely.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
I love this idea.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
I just sit up there with you. Guys, want to
come over, we can make some drinks and sit on
the sofa and watch a thunderstorm. Wouldn't that be great? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (35:31):
It would be Also, why don't rich people just have
a room that is just in their basement and it's
four walls of pure video screen top to bottom that
can show one like like you go to a thunderstorm
and it's like you just go sit in like comfortable
chairs in that room and a thunderstorm happens around you
(35:53):
with like really good speakers and everything like that, or
you like, and then you turn it and you're at
the beach. You turn it, you're at floating in space
anywhere you want, anywhere you want. You flip at your
ep s, your deep sea.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
My god, that would be the Redwoods just while you're
sitting in the Redwoods.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
And it just slowly moves around you.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
I would love that.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Come on, rich people, we have so many good ideas
for you.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Yeah, stop blowing it, stop buld you guys are idiots.
Here's some thumbs ups for us, all right. Jasmine wants
to give a giant thumb up for her dad, Philip.
He was the sweetest, most supportive father she could have
asked for. Jasmine lost her dad to multiple system atrophy
on Father's Day twenty twenty four. That's not easy, but

thankfully Jasmine's son was born late twenty twenty three and
was able to meet his grandfather before his passing. And Jasmine,
you have a great heart. That is a very wonderful
takeaway from a very heavy experience that your son got

Let's get back into it. Johnston Flood Museum is closed
because of flooding. Gretchen sent this in. Thank you, Gretchen.
This was in the Huffington Post. Really what that it
(39:28):
still exists? Well, it's called hoffpo now and nobody reads it.
This is written by David Moye. Really good job, David Moye.
Pennsylvania museum dedicated to remembering the effects of a nineteenth
century flood. That sounds fun. Okay, that's a fun place
to take that nineteenth kindergartener's elementary school, middle school, you
(39:49):
name it. Fun museum. What town this was in? Johnston? Johnstown, Johnston,
what state, Pennsylvania. Cambriaccount announced Monday. Oh, it was templar
temporarily closed because of flooding. The Johnstown Flood Museum in
Cambria County announced on Monday it is temporary clothes due
to an interior water league caused by recent extreme cold.
(40:13):
The leak caused water to pour through the museum walls,
damaging carpets, drywall, and ceiling towels in the process. According
to Johnstown NBC affiliate w Jack TV, I hope.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
That they build a small maybe like three foot by
three foot Johnstown flood flood Museum, Okay, flood museum flood.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
That idea is so good. It is breathtaking. And now
it's the one reason I would actually go to the
Johnstown flood Museum because I love a small museum. I
love yeah, but I'd like a smaller museum inside of
a museum. And the Johnstown flood Museum flood museum. I
think we got to get a letter writing campaign in animals.
If you want to email the Johnstown Flood Museum and
(40:57):
say I really like it. If you guys take the
recent flood you had inside of your museum and made
a small museum in honor of that flood, just give
us the newspaper articles, just give us a couple of photos.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
I think you have to get on your hands and
knees to enter it, but all the information is there.
If you want to learn about the flood at the
flood museum, have a turn.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
These lemons into lemonade. Nothing of historic significance was affected
by the flooding, which is shocking because when you think
of the Johnstown Flood or Johnston Flood Museum, you're just
thinking of all the historically significant pieces in there were
affected with flooding. In the museum's Facebook post credited museum
docent Nicky Bosley for discovering the league before there could
(41:42):
be serious damage. Good job, Nicky Boseley or Bosly.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
I mean, and now we know who is whose statue
stands in front of the Johnston Flood Museum flood Museum.
It's Nicky Boseley, absolutely, and she's earned it.
Speaker 1 (41:59):
She spotted a leek, which is not hard to do
in a.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
Empty museum.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
The museum is dedicated to memorializing the great Johnstown Flood
that we all won't shut up about, which occurred on
May thirty first, eighteen eighty nine. You're the lord. The
flood claimed the lives of twenty two one hundred people.
My god, they really couldn't swim back. They were not ready, No,
they were not good swimmers back then, and destroyed sixteen
(42:28):
hundred homes. That's the sad part. But you know what,
they've rebuilt, and I think we need to rebuild yet again.
The Johnstown Flood Museum flood Museum. We need to do it.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
Anybody who lives near Johnstown, Johnstown, Johnsontown too.
Speaker 1 (42:43):
Yeah, yeah, let us know.
Speaker 2 (42:45):
We would love to actually make that happen if you
if you're we will be happy to How much How
much money do does it require to make the Johnstown
Flodmuseum floo musum?
Speaker 1 (42:53):
Yeah, we're talking a small replica museum of the Johnstown
Flood Museum. That's maybe you know, it's like a all
birds wings across, maybe thirty six by thirty six, Max, I.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
Bet you we could do it for a thousand bucks easier.
Speaker 1 (43:05):
Yeah. I think we have friends that'll make this for
us and just a little recreation and maybe it just
drips a little water.
Speaker 2 (43:11):
How hard could that be?
Speaker 1 (43:14):
When I was a young banana, I was at a
birthday party at the Babe Ruth Museum in Baltimore, which
is fine. Yeah, Babe Ruth pretty cool guy.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
Yeah, there's a statue of him at Camden Yards.
Speaker 1 (43:27):
Probably he grew up in Baltimore, and you know, even
people that don't like baseball known the name Babe Ruth.
And it was a we would go to about one
a year, like the movies, and but we go to
this and there was a guy that was sort of
a bully. I would say, I've only had two people
actually try to bully me, like physically in my life. Yeah.
(43:48):
One of them was at this birthday party boys and girls,
probably eight, nine, ten years old.
Speaker 2 (43:53):
Oh got to Yeah, I'm familiar with all those times.
I'm familiar with those types of birds all age.
Speaker 1 (43:57):
So we get in one of the dad's cars drying
to the next stop. The next phase was splash down
indoor water park.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
Oh my god, that sounds fantastic.
Speaker 1 (44:06):
Indoor water slides. If somebody dropped the visa and you
got to take friends to the indoor splash down water park,
you were having a great day. But the bully was
just pissed at me. He was there staring me, staring
at me the whole time. Then we get in the
car and he pulls down the sun visor and there's
little mirror and in the visory's staring at me in
(44:27):
the backseat. We're like five across the backseat and this
guy's just being a jerk. So while we're driving, we
go to a red light and he rolls down the
window and he had had like we all got blowpops
and so he took the wrapper and threw it in
the bed of the truck park next to us, just
being tough, being a real nine year old rebel. Yea.
And the guy got out of the truck and got
(44:49):
the wrapper and pushed it back into his chest and go,
you dropped something, kid, and got back in the car,
and then he got the dad yelled at him. It
wasn't even his dad was like, the girl's birthday, girls
down driving and I just got to sit back and
watch the threat. The guy that was threatening to probably
drown me and splash down just get so humiliated and
(45:10):
honestly bullied around. And then the dad was like, that's
not right. You shouldn't throw and like he was like,
don't tell my mom. And I'm just sitting in the backseat,
just having the greatest birthday of my entire life. And
it wasn't even mine.
Speaker 2 (45:23):
Wow, I am like the guy driving the truck got out.
Speaker 1 (45:28):
That guy's a bully, got out, took the trash, gives
put it, I mean leaves.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
Everything is falling in the back of your pickup truck.
It is open to the world. You're gonna shove a
wrapper into a nine year old chest? What a bully and.
Speaker 1 (45:48):
You had to hear my MVP, my personal My Baby Ruth,
the Babe Ruth of Traffic Stops is so great.
Speaker 2 (45:55):
Why is the candy bar baby Ruth and not Babe?
Speaker 1 (46:01):
I don't know, but I think it is connected. I
think it's supposed to be a play on Babe Ruth.
Speaker 2 (46:06):
Yeah, I mean, I guess so it's in the way
that like Babe Ruth is a recognized sounds that we've
heard before, and baby Ruth is words that just sound
like it. But there's no other connection, right, It wasn't
like a baseball snack or it's supposed to be like
a bat or something like that that would be funny,
(46:28):
like little bat. If it's a little bat. If it's
a little baby Ruth, it's a little baby bat.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
What is in a baby Ruth? Nugat?
Speaker 2 (46:36):
Is that? I think nuts?
Speaker 1 (46:39):
Maybe is nugat? Is nugat? The Uncanny Valley Dwarf of
chocolate candy.
Speaker 2 (46:44):
Bar looks like the dwarf's faces look like they're made
of nugget. Boy, that's what it looks like if you
stripped chocolate off of a nugget candy bar. That's what
the dwarfs look.
Speaker 1 (46:55):
Like I in the workhous writer's room, we had a
and the writer's assistant and we said, do you like
Snickers bars? And she goes, no, Snickers bars are very millennial.
Gen Z doesn't like Snickers bars. And I was like,
there's no way that's Snickers are so delicious. And then
ice cream snickers.
Speaker 2 (47:15):
Oh my gosh, is that that's such a funny thing
to do.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
That's like an old person. But what we're saying is
like the greatest generation love those baby roofs. Yeah, they
couldn't get up.
Speaker 2 (47:25):
But also I think I've ever eaten yeah, payday or
a baby roof, I don't think I've ever eaten one.
Speaker 1 (47:30):
It was always astonishing, especially our New York and animals
will instantly be able to picture this. Every city sidewalk
in Manhattan, every corner, and most in Brooklyn, Queen's all
of the Burroughs have bodegas everywhere, and every bodega has
a wall of candy in front of the counter. Yeah,
and they're selling it. They wouldn't have it if it
wasn't making money.
Speaker 2 (47:50):
Oh no, it's it's making money.
Speaker 1 (47:51):
I mean, how many candy bars? I wish we had
Mary roach On, I want to find out how many
candy bars they sell every day in Manhattan, because you know,
somebody buys a baby Ruth every day at the same
videga every single day. That's like their little moment of joy.
Speaker 2 (48:06):
When I met Kristin. When I met Kristen, that was her.
She would eat really she ate like a like a
feral animal when I met her. I mean like we
I guess we were like in our early like mid twenties,
you know, like I was my late twenties, twenties. But yeah,
she would like she would have like like go to
McDonald's like once a day.
Speaker 1 (48:25):
It was one really close to her house, unfairly close.
It was maybe four stoops away from her house. And
also pretty good McDonald's. Pretty good McDonalds for is weird.
What was your ultimate cheap food in New York City,
like at your poorest but when you bought food out
in the city.
Speaker 2 (48:42):
Oh, just the dollar slice places.
Speaker 1 (48:44):
Yeah there were a lot of them too.
Speaker 2 (48:45):
Yeah, there was a lot of them.
Speaker 1 (48:46):
And there and for a long time, Grace Papia did
two dogs for a dollar and that was big. That
was big.
Speaker 2 (48:52):
That's what actually got me eating meat again because I
stopped eating red meat when I was twelve because I
read a book and it was like, good, global warming
is happening, and if you want to solve it, don't
eat red meat. And I was like, I'm gonna solve
global warming one man at a time. So I only
ate chicken for whatever the next six years. And then
(49:12):
I got to Baltimore and realized, oh, I can buy
two hot dogs for one dollar. Yes, I guess I'm
gonna eat red meating.
Speaker 1 (49:19):
Yes, that happens all the time. You know. I dated
a woman speaking saving the world. Who's comfort viewing? Like,
you know, I'm hungover, I'm bored. I want something on
in the background. Why cook? Was the documentary Blackfish? What
about killer Whales? What? And me can see what? That's
(49:40):
so nice getting her comfort thing. I would say, she's
watched Blackfish ninety to one hundred.
Speaker 2 (49:52):
That's amazing.
Speaker 1 (49:53):
It was not a deal breaker, but it was the Uh,
it was terrifying.
Speaker 2 (49:57):
It was terrifying.
Speaker 1 (49:58):
It was a It's something I watched one time, and
it was like, I agree across the board.
Speaker 2 (50:05):
I don't ever need to watch it. Once you have
the information.
Speaker 1 (50:09):
I have the information.
Speaker 2 (50:11):
What's your ultimate comfort? TV?
Speaker 1 (50:14):
Man? I really don't have one. I got caught off
guard on a pitch yesterday for a romantic comedy pitch.
I was pitching to the actress they wanted to star,
and I know she is going to pass. And at
the end, when you know, sometimes they ask questions about
character or whatever story she goes. I'm just curious, like
looking down it not, It's just curious, what is your
favorite movie? And you know it shifts depending on everything,
(50:36):
but I answered, honestly, I go right now. My favorite
movie is the Silence of the Lambs. And it is
a great movie. It's incredible great and I've been kind
of going back. It's my favorite scary movie for sure.
But story wise and character wise, it's so good. Like
Handbell Lecter's barely on screen, He's only on screen for
like twelve fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2 (50:54):
And he's everything, and it's.
Speaker 1 (50:56):
Iconic and you think of it forever. And I was
just thinking of those characters, and she only caught me
off guard, and I know I should have been like
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or something.
Speaker 2 (51:06):
Yeah, more rom comedy.
Speaker 1 (51:07):
Yeah, so I bet she passes. My comfort is oh man,
I really like dumb action movies, so like Deep Blue Sea,
the Shark movie. Hello cool Je, Tom's Jane. I've probably
seen that twenty times. Oh wow, oh wow, I'll just
put it on if it's on a streamer.
Speaker 2 (51:28):
I get that.
Speaker 1 (51:29):
I get that TV. No, I don't have any I
love new TV. I don't like watching old TV. I
like new TV.
Speaker 2 (51:35):
I think my comfort, my ultimate comfort. I don't think
it's on anymore, is how it's made. Oh, I mean,
what a delight. Oh I would watch that.
Speaker 1 (51:43):
I leave Forensic Files on too when I'm in a
like when you and I tore bananas. I put that
on when I'm showering and such, so, which is funny
because Forensic Files was all you know, You're like, could
you shoot any episode where anybody on the show looks
like a modern human being? Everybody, every detective is wearing
an oversized button down shirt that is a color of
(52:05):
like burnt orange, with like a tie that matches. They
all have horrible combovers goates, And I'm like, then, I
was watching a thing about murder in Newport Beach and
they showed like the da the detectives. They were all
like beach volleyball player, good looking, they all had sharp
Brooks brothers suits on and then dresses and the women
(52:26):
were styled their makeuples one point. Then you turn on
forensic files and it's like where did you drag these
what swamp? What primordial swamp did you pull them out of?
To find this murder in Wisconsin? And then you look
at it, you're like, this must be from nineteen eighty three,
and it's like two thousand and nine.
Speaker 2 (52:48):
Oh, good times here, I'll send us home with this.
Oh beautiful Chinese influencer spends one hundred and forty thousand
dollars to become an android. Oh this woman looks like
an android. Oh it's kind of way I was picturing
a guy right away.
Speaker 1 (53:02):
Oh yeah she does.
Speaker 2 (53:04):
Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 1 (53:06):
She kind of looks cool. I mean the money well spent,
I mean yeah, it's it's mission accomplished, Mission person accomplished.
Speaker 2 (53:16):
And she can like move like an android. Really well,
we're all for that, Yeah, it's uh. And then there's
a woman in Ja, I know it's also in China. Uh,
who's a different woman who owns and runs a restaurant,
and she like again, has had work done to make
herself look like an android. And then moves like a
(53:37):
robot and like serves people, but does it like poorly,
like as if a robot's doing it poorly, like handing
food and like only halfway making it to the table
at the smacking it down. It's really really funny, and
people come from all over to like have food from
an android dream.
Speaker 1 (53:55):
Get out there been animals. If you're in China, go
to that weird robot restaurant, Go to the John Down
Great Flood Museum in Cambria County, Pennsylvania, and keep being you.
Get out there, have some fun. The weather's getting better,
spring and summer coming. Let's all shake our tail feathers.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
So many qualifiers for that description.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
We got guys, gals, we got non binary pals, okay,
all ages.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Well, it has to be in sand so sandlot.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Is like a type of baseball. It's like local, crappy baseball.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Do you play with a stick and just a stitch
together group of rubber bands?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
It felt that way. It was no, it was actually excellent.
My friend Nick Williams, who's a great writer he started
a couple of years ago, had invited me. I'm a
Maryland guy. I grew up playing lacrosse because I'm a
white guy from Maryland. And when you're born, they hand
you a stick and they go go out there, out there,
from cradle to cradle and break some teeth that's right
(02:57):
and so but this year I wanted to do it.
It was on Sunday. We had our first game. It
was the Rush Hour versus the road Ragers. Okay, my
team lost in the last inning, but boy, it was
so fun.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Was it awesome?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
It was great.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Do people drink during the game.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yes, I played. I got you kind of shuffle around
a couple managers. So I played center field. When I
had centerfield. After going through a few innings and seeing
the competition, I knew not too many balls were coming
out to centerfield, so I took a beer with me
in center field. So exciting. Yeah, and it was great
and it was it was just so fun. My I
don't know what my obliques are sore from swinging a
(03:35):
baseball bat just right under your breast, yeah, just under
my breasts are soreer than the normal tender to the touch.
And it was so great. We played six innings because
we had an allotted time before we had to give
up the rest. But yeah, I'm gonna play. It's a
monthly league and apparently the best game of the year
is the Halloween game where you come in costume.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Oh that sounds so much fun.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I'm in so yes, thank you to Nick and everybody
at the La Traffic Sandlote Baseball League.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Oh wow, I love it. It was Olive's birthday this
week and that's what I did.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
How old is young Olive? Wow?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
She is eight years old and it is my god,
it's a delightful ad.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
That's a good age for kids.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I think I spent five years, five to eight years
complaining about children, Yes you did, and how difficult they are,
and now we are in such a sweet spots.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Guy, that's nice.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
It is a delight I mean, like, look, did Gus
scream from five pm to eight thirty pm on Sunday? Yeah,
because it's not his day and he was very upset. Yeah,
of course we dealt with that. Is it a high
pitch screaming? Yet it's a high pitch screaming? Does it
hurt your ears?
Speaker 1 (04:49):
It hurts your ears, of course.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
But still it's just such a delightful time right now.
Her thing, so our thing is like, we don't do
big birthday parties for like ten, Yeah, ten will be
the next big birthday party. So her last big birthday
party was five. Yeah it's ten and then fifty yep,
And so we just did like three buddies and went
(05:11):
to a movie eleven am movie.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
WHOA, that's a great birthday.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
It was a really everybody was psyched about it. Easy
an easy lift, and everybody had a great time. Then
went to the Cheesecake Factory. Yeah fun, I mean, come on,
that place was made for birthdays.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Menu was a little small for my taste, but I
have extremely universal worldwide. I like to know what every
food in the galaxy tastes like. And I won it
within twenty minutes.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
And I want it on a plate the size of
an actual table.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yes, when they put they started putting calorie counts on
in New York and California, and that changed the game
at cheesecake Factory because I would go in overorder and
then you just see what those avocado egg roll appetizers
are and you're like, these alone are sixteen hundred calories a.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Full day of calories.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I'll take two.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
So we saw Disney's Snow White.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
How was it? Uh? Oh? I can already tell I would.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Like to apologize to every single human being involved in
that movie. Oh my gosh, it is maybe the worst
movie I've ever seen in my entire life.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I have at least in theaters.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Oh, definitely in theaters.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
It was holy crap.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I mean, there can't be It can't be true that
the only person who can write music that's bearable to
listen to his lin Manuel Miranda. That can't be true.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
He stretched a little thin these days.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
That can't be true that he's the only one who
could possibly write a song that sounds good in a
Disney movie. But since since Incanto, we've got nothing but
crap from Disney movies. Their songs are terrible. Yeah, this
was the most unlike forgettable music. It was unbearable to
watch the unsoarable for children's I was just like I
(07:02):
was making like loud noises doing It's just like, oh
there was at one point, so the you and you know,
the dwarves are like this seven yard this weird AI animation.
It looks like they took and this is from an
old joke I did, but this is what it looks like.
It looks like they took uh pringles, soaked them in
(07:25):
a bowl of water overnight, and then use that goop
to just mold roughly mold human face and then animate
it with an artificially intelligent life form. It is so creepy,
every single one of them. Looking at them, you feel
a deep unsettling in your soul looking at them. They
(07:47):
neither look real nor do they look fake. They occupy
some strange space that makes you comfortable with yourself and
sitting in the seat feels weird when you're looking at them.
Dopey character is so upsettingly like their eyes are so moist.
(08:07):
When I say that their eyes are moist.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
They got wet eyes.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
They have such wet eyes in every shot. Their eyes
are the wettest eyes you've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
The a. I just think humans cry all the time.
They're just so bummed about their height. They're like these
dowarves will be a little They're on the verge of
a nervous breakdown at all times because they are not
as tall as snow white is.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
How is Gal Gadott? Oh fine, Yes, she doesn't have much.
Look everybody everybody does a like. The actors are doing
good jobs.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I can sing that actress can really she can sing sing. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Then that's why I say I apologize to everyone involved
in it, oh man, because it's like everybody worked really
hard on that, and I'm sure and I think the
only people to blame are like the higher ups at Disney,
of course, who just all beat this to death so
that all life and creativity was sucked out of it.
And you have like, it's it's gonna be such a flop,
(09:02):
it's gonna be crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Did the kids like it? Did all of his friends
think it was fun? Like, kids don't really understand. Yeah,
if it's visually fun, they might like it. Right.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
You also have to realize, like, this is a generation
that was raised on Coco melon. Have you ever seen
Coco Melon?
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Oh? I don't.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
It looks like it was animated by like like if
you left a cell phone from twenty seventeen alone it
decided to start animating a children's show. Oh that's what
it looks like. It looks so upsetting and gross. Okay,
and kids like they they loved it. They loved looking
at a big, old headed, weirdokai kids. So I think
(09:38):
they're just used to bad stuff. Now.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
The future is so bright, it is so so bright.
Quality does not exist anymore. That's a rare movie review.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
That is a rare movie review. I rarely review movies,
but while I was watching it, I was like, I
have to talk about how much I.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Disclike, I can't. I'm so glad you did. I wasn't
going to go eat that one. That one is not.
I don't really like any of the remakes. I saw
Lion King and I saw Jungle Book, and I was like,
I get it. It's the exact same movie I paid
for again, only computer animated instead of hand drawn. Yeah,
by Huming beings. I went when I was a young
(10:18):
person that the three I can think of were for
birthdays movie birthdays. Yes. Ski Patrol still a great movie,
Still a great movie. Nobody talks about Ski Patrol. Very funny,
weird movie.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Ski Patrol an out Cold two of the best ski
movies ever.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Last Boy Scout, The Last Boy Scout Bruce Willis, I
think Damon Wayams.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Is that a somebody's gonna blow up the Super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Yeah, there's a guy that run The Open is a
football game, and a man pulls out a gun while
he's running with the football and he is shooting other
players in the kneecaps and then kills himself in the
end zone. So that is what you call a teaser. Folks,
You are wondering what happens and I know, and then
Ace Ventura the original Aceventur I went to for a birthday,
and I remember laughing harder than I've ever laughed with
(11:05):
my friends in my life. And when you look back
at it now, it's the craziest, over the top movie, imaginable.
But we just left quoting Aceventura.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Yeah, no, of course, awesome makes sense.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Three great, three six hours of my life. I don't
want back. I'm glad, it's glad they happened. I'm not
recouping anything.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Oh man, well that's it. I don't think I've I
went to any movie you have to have for somebody else.
I really don't think so. I don't know what's in
a Jersey thing. No, we would go to arcades for
best days, an Arcade Birthday, the.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Dream Machine and Cranberry Mall. You just get four tokens
at a time. That's how cheap things were. Four You
had a paper bracelet and you showed it. You got
four tokens, which would be four plays. Yeah not anymore,
maybe not anymore. Now it's you have to get a card.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
It's each one. But even with the card, they're still
like this costs thirteen credit, and it's like, why just
make it? It's all a card. All of it's imaginary.
Why does it have to cost them?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Choose your own pricing. Tell me about these humans with wings?
Speaker 2 (12:12):
These Kora, I'm just banging through. We're having a yard
sale episode. I got a lot of ones that are
like pretty good, and I just want to get through them.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Also, thank you to Sabrina, who is helping us our
first recording in studio. I can already tell she's doing
a wonderful job.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
I really thank you, Thank you, Sabrina. If humans could fly,
how big would our wings be? This is in Live Science.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
That's good. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
This by Elena Spivac.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I went to high school with some Spivaks.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
I'm not even going to read this. I'm just going
to tell you, Scotty, how what do you think how
big door wings need to be if humans fly?
Speaker 1 (12:47):
I would say pretty big because I often stare at
birds and compare my own physique to that.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
I do as well, and that's why it's weird that
we haven't ever thought of it.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Yeah, so I would say I would say thirteen feet
on each side, twenty six feet total.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Twenty feet. Okay, that's what a guy says.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Pretty good, That's what.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Some guy says it is just one person. I'll tell
you who it is. It's Tie Hendrick, a professor of
biology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
And he said, you know what, which I thought was
surprisingly small, And I do think twenty feet is kind
of small, a little small. I'd be embarrassed. And the
question is is that if you if they were like
(13:26):
wings like a bird, people imagine them coming out of
your back, right, first thought, yea, so then you would
have to have shoulders in your back. Yes, so that's
strange to have shoulders in your back. And also you
would have to have an enormous amount of upper body
like muscles around your chest, so your chest would be
(13:47):
like holding everything. Yeah, can you imagine, and so like
some birds have most of their muscles in their chest.
So anyway, what Tie says. What Tie says Tie Hendrick
is he proposes, in this imaginary situation that it's bat
like instead, so that they just drop from your arms. Yeah,
(14:10):
well you're saying, okay, grosser, And that's what Tye says.
Ty says, Oh, this is how it would be. But
that also means both arm is ten feet.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
With a droopy skin mess.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
A big Scroto hanging down.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Yeah, look at Scrota. It's just Scotty going to Trader Joe's.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
And also, have you seen the way of a batflies
compared to a bird.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
All over the place.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
It's all over the place. Imagine a human being flapping, flappy,
flapping with his skin, his little scrotum skin out. That's
what Tye is looking for in his future. No, thank you, sir.
I'd rather have a twenty six foot wingspan and have
beautiful feathers.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Oh. Absolutely, there's no competition. You could pluck one out
and sign big oversized checks with it. Hell at the banks,
are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
All you need to do is bring a little bit with.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Just a little enough for just your name, with those
big beautiful wings. I've read a movie script once that
has stuck with me to this day. I actually tried
to get a director attached and like help produce it.
It was called Chariot and it was a horse racing
movie like Sea Biscuit, but the horse was a man.
(15:21):
The neck to head was a man's torso, arms and
head a centaur. Yeah so a centaur, Yeah, I guess
so a centaur. And the idea was when the horse
galloped and was running races. He would pump his arms
so it looked like a guy running with four horse
legs and only the jockey, and.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Well there was a jockey for him.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yeah it was Yeah, it was like it was exactly
like Sea Biscuit, only the horse was a guy that
could talk, but only the jockey and the other horses
couldn't understand it, but the jockey and the owner could
or the trainer could, and it was so funny, like
he was just a Chariot was the name of the horse.
(16:06):
This is why Hollywood is making snow whites and not
actual good movies like Chariot, the racehorse movie with a
man's horse so pumping his arms as he passes horses
in the street.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Love that someone wrote that, Oh my god, I want
it to be made so bad.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
There's so many great movies like that out there, and
you know, we'll just never see him speaking of flying.
Keith sent this in. I did Keith. I didn't see
any other name, but thank you. You can always send

take it. TSA, Oh, speaking of flying, TSA finds surprising
number of prohibited items in woman's bag, including eighty two
fireworks and three knives. That's so many fireworks.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
It is a lot of fireworks.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
And NBC News has had two writers it's just that good,
Lindsey Good and David k Lee, who when it comes
to TSA news stories, these two are the best in
the frickin' business. Really are Security at Los Angeles International Airport.
We've been there. I have stopped a traveler from taking
(17:20):
a surprising number of prohibited items on a Philadelphia bound flight,
including dozens of fireworks and multiple weapons. The incident unfolded
at ten pm on December fifteenth, when the Transportation Security
Administration officers flagged a woman who had put her carry
on bag through the X ray machine at Terminal four.
The TSA officer was shocked to find the bag contained
(17:44):
eighty two consumer grade fireworks, three knives, two replica firearms,
and one canister of pepper spray. She was about to
have the ride of her life.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
What is going on? And she put it through.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
The yeah wow, smart intelligent person, the TSA say and
a statement Friday, the sheer number of prohibited items discovered
in a single carry on bag is extremely concerning, said
Jason Pantags, the TSA Federal security director at the airport.
This traveler should have followed DSA's tried and true advice
(18:19):
unpack your bag before you pack it to ensure you
don't bring any prohibited items to security checkpoint. That's being
very generous.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yeah, no, that she just happened to be walking around
with what was a bear spray, eighteen knives and eighty
three It.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Might as well have been it was eighty two consumer
grade fireworks, three knives, two replica firearms, so two fake guns,
and one canister of pepper spray. She was going to
try to crash that plank. Oh, Mike, that's what Either yeah,
or she really hates holiday travel, thank you. Pantages urged
travelers to be particularly mindful as weak blah blah blah.
(18:55):
That's holiday traveler's clock. You get it. We're in the
midst of a holiday travel season. Your checkpoints will be
busy everywhere, he said. Let this incident serve as a
reminder to all travelers to double check the contents of
your bag before coming to the airport.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Did I ever tell you about the time I was,
Oh boy, I was going through. Swear to God, Swear
to I believe you already. People in front of me,
Russian couple just trying to travel with a shovel, And.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Why wouldn't it six foot tall shovel? Where are you
going to get one when you land? One of the
hardest items to find anywhere in the world.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
They put it on the thing and they had to
travel through it. I was just imagining the TSA agent
who's watching the little thing, and then all of a
sudden just seeing the beginning of a shovel, and then
the long part of the shovel and the end of
the shovel come through, and then them taking it and going,
you can't. And they were livid. They were livid that
they could not bring their shovel. It was post nine
(19:53):
to eleven. They could not bring their shovel on the plane.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Shovel is a great weapon, So are you kidding me?
You could take out anybody with thish sho anybody. There's
not an animal in history. You couldn't just throw that
shovel like a spear, take its head right off. You've
never seen a sperm whale anywhere near a shovel, and
that is not a coincidence. That's I do feel like
(20:17):
the TSA has existed now for twenty four years. And
if you go through the TSA line, and I think
if the metal detector beeps and you don't have metal
in your body, you don't have any replacement, you don't
have screws in your ankle, that you should have to
miss that flight. I think you should be sent home
(20:39):
for twenty four hours at this point. Twenty four years
a prep if you're from another country, I understand. If
you're an American and you still set off the metal
detector after twenty four years, you missed the flight for
twenty four hours. The number of times I've seen you
and I travel a lot, especially when we're doing like
banana shows. The number of times I've seen somebody be like,
(21:01):
send a bottle, a plastic bottle of water through that
thing and get called out for it, Kurt. Never once
in my life have I held a plastic bottle so
this should belong inside luggage and then zipped it up
and saved it. No, you have your metal container. If
they go, hey, you can't bring that on you dump
it out. It's the It's in the dozens of times
I've seen people have to empty plastic water bottles out
(21:24):
of their carry on bag. Bam.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
My favorite person is the person who goes through at
beeps that come out and they're like, they're just looking
around bewildered, and they just have like a gigantic watch
off and like it and they're like, yeah, to take
your watch off and they're like.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
All right, I didn't have to do it, all right.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
You know, and then they take it off. Then they
go through and it beeps again and they're like what
could have been? And then it's like do you have
a belt on? It's like, oh, it take off a
gigantic metal belt. So they just keep doing it.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Twenty four hour band, or they have to mop the cafeteria. Okay,
that would be fine. Yeah, hey, you're an idiot mop
the cafeteria. It's really odd how often that happens. And
yet don't carry water bottles in your suitcases. Just drink
the water, or don't pack it. You just don't need
to pack a plastic water bottle, I'm sorry, But also
(22:16):
pack a shovel. It's very funny, you know. I briefly
worked at a greenhouse, and on my first day of work,
I had to go set up some of those big tents,
like out in a sports field. And so my boss
was my uncle, and he had a friend there and
we get the tent set up and then we had
to drive big steaks into the ground of tyropes to
(22:38):
to secure it so win blow away. And so my
uncle and his friend are watching me first day of work.
They hand me a sledgehammer and I swing it at
the stake and I hit the wood and snap the
sledgehammer's head off. I hit just I missed it. I
hit the and it was a big metal steak head
that my uncle's like, oh oh, all right, and then
(23:02):
went and got a second one and I swung it
and hit the wood and cracked a person break yeah,
first swing, and then after that he was like, I'll
just do it. But on my first day of work,
at seven am, pitching the tent, I broke. I really
broke two sledg chambers, but one inoperable had snapped off,
and the other one embarrassingly bad in front of one
(23:22):
of his peers. So I would say that was my
that was my dwarf moment on snow white. Ah, yeah, yeah,
I would have been. I would have been dopey that day,
and I admit it.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
You would have just been wet eyed dope.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah, just crying in the rain, all right.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Florida man dressed in Dalmatian onesie, yes, runs troopers canines
and shakes off tasers before he's caught a girlfriend's home
the next day. Okay, there it is, Okay, I like it.
This was the New York Post.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Oh, don't go.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Look, we don't love the New York Post.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
We don't.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Some times we have to read from him by Caitlin McCormick.
Thank you, Caitlyn McCormick.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
It's not her fault. Caitlyn. Get out of there as
soon as you can.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
He was easy to spot.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
M good.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
I mean, this is why we do this is why
we do it.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
So why I wake up in the morning.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
A Florida man bizarrely dressed in a Dalmatian onesie bolted
during a traffic stop after being handcuffed on one wrist,
and he remained on the lamb for an entire day
for finally being caught at his girlfriend's home. Florida Highway
patrol were in hot pursuit of thirty six year old
Keith Devereaux for nearly a day full adult if they
attempted to pull him for reckless driving just after midnight
(24:36):
January twenty seventh. Devereux had allegedly been driving erradically, stopping
and pulling away at high speeds while dropping off a passenger.
So this is so the cops start chasing him. He
drops off a passenger, and they don't mess with the passenger.
That guy just goes somewhere chane uber. He ran, and
then he rammed his car into a tree. He got
(24:58):
out of the wreckage and then and tried to keep running.
He got tasered then they Despite being shocked, Devro picked
a fight with the trooper and began to push and
thrash against him. That's crazy, once again attempting to take
off somehow, he successfully fled. By this point, his truck
was wrecked, he'd been tased by the troopers, and he
was still one wrist handcuffed, and yet he went straight
(25:21):
to his girlfriend's home, one place authorities were almost guaranteed
to check first.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Yeah, that was his one mistake, right, Uh?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
They got to his girlfriend's home that night. His girlfriend's
home at the time, and told troopers that she didn't
want anyone to go inside, including Devreux, because they had
drugs inside. Oh, she didn't want to face jail time.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Yeah, it's been good to be upfront about that. You're right,
it does seem like a.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Weird Florida person's idea of that coming here. I can't
let you in. I got drugs in here, drugs galore.
There's so many drugs. I wouldn't let you wore anybody in.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
That's just smart chance giving them up.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Yeah, they give And I don't think she got arrested.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
She was honest.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Oh no, no, there it is okay. Possession of methamphetamine,
of course.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Well that's gonna happen. I mean, that does explain his
endless enthusiasm for escape.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
It doesn't explain the Dalmatian onesie. But I like the
idea that he just wears that that's just the way
he goes. Look at him. It's a nice Dalmatian onesie.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Oh hereah and he yeah, he looks like a formidable opponent.
With or without the onesie. I would not want to
have to wrestle that guy. To the ground. He looks
pretty tough. That jaw. You can crack a pumpkin over
that jaw.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Yeah, it is a pumpkin cracking jaw.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
That guy would have twenty four inch wings, no doubt
about it. I bet he wished he did have those
at some point, but.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
He was twenty four inch wigs. Wigs, just a little
two footter, little cupid wigs.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
But just get off me. Florida is so interesting. You
and I really like Saint Augustine. We do. We like
the keys. The keys are fun.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
I have never been and I want to got.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yeah, we gotta do a banana show on the keys.
That has to happen. I mean, I've had really nice
times all around and then you hear these things and
you go, oh, it's isolated, but it's really not. You
go to a gas station in Jacksonville, Florida. Just stand there.
If you have to fill up your full gas tank.
You're gonna see a guy in a Dalmatian suit run
by screaming. Somebody's going to try to sell you an
(27:22):
iPad that's just duct tape plywood with permanent marker drawn
on screen. It is.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
It is a wild place, and my theory is that
it's just so hot that people just go crazy.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Yeah, they must.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
It's so we were there.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I was there for something and it was just Miami.
Was the heat in Miami. I was just like it
boggled my mind. I just couldn't function. I would walk
outside and not be able to think.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Yeah, I get it, I get it. I also think
maybe the effects of constantly being bitten by sharks and
also mercury poisoning from constantly eating groupers. And which is
it's just a magic cocktail that we call Florida that honestly,
it could use a reset. It could use a reset,
(28:10):
but uh, here's one for you.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Give it to me.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Hmm, what's a fun one? Oh? This is Yeah, let's
keep going on with that that sort of general theme.
Chabron James sent this in Thank you, Chabron James. Great name.
It is good. Power outage caused by a Tennessee mayor
who crashed while reaching for a sausage biscuit. Oh all right,
the mayor told SBN he leaned over to pick up
(28:35):
a sausage biscuit. Before he knew it, the poll was
right in front of him. This was written by Caleb Wethington.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
I like that he has to lean all the way over,
Like I'm imagining his faces at the seat level. He
was picking it up with his mouth.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Yeah. And I imagine him getting in the car early
that morning, donut mouth, two cups of coffee, tossing the
sausage biscuit into the footwell of the passenger seat, and
then peeling out in his front yard in his Pontiac Firebird, Springfield, Tennessee.
This was on ws and the dot com. The downtown
area of Springfield experience a power outage took out the
(29:11):
alts out power outage on Wednesday due to a crash
on Seventh Avenue, according to w SMV four news partner
Smokey Barn News.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Smokey Barn that's what it says, that's what SMB stands for.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Smokey Barn News reported the crash damage utility pole which
caused the outage. Live wires were also exposed and fell
over the awning of a nearby funeral home. Oh man, man,
this is good. This is almost If it had hit
an open casket and that body came back to life
and walked out of there, then.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
That's the only way it gets about anyway. The story
is right up your outage.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Oh, I love when that happens. It was extinguished shortly
after boo. The downtown area of Springfield is currently experiencing
a power outage. Former Springfield Springfield Mayor Billy Cornell was
that the driver.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Every character in this story is.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Spring Mayor Billy Paul Cornell was the driver of the
crash vehicle. Cornell told SPN that he leaned over to
pick up his sausage biscuit, and before he knew it,
the poll was right in front of him. The former
mayor was not injured, thank goodness, and crash still hungry.
I would guess Springfield Electric was able to restore service
to some customers. All the portions of.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Some are living in darkness for the rest of the year.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
All the portions of downtown are still without power as
repairs continued to be made. He risked it all for
a sausage biscuit. I love it.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
It must have been in the wheelwell right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Got and he tossed it. He's probably yelling with his
ex wife.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
It was, yeah, and he tossed it and it bounced.
It bounced out of the seat right back, dam right
all right, I'll do it. Uh, you know, Scotty. I
sent this to Scotti. I sent this story to Scotty
and I said, did this happened again? It felt like
I was having you. Definitely did want Well, there might
(31:05):
be multiples. I was searching and I did find it.
It's just I think it only happened once. But does
anybody remember that story we did about the golden toilet
being stolen out of a out of a castle in England. Well,
guess what, folks, golden toilet was stolen from English palace again.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Yes, go back and get it. And this too.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
This golden toilet is called America. It's an art piece.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
No remember that?
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Yeah, and you can you can use it. It's actually
a functioning toilet that's made of solid gold, and it's
a three minute time limit and it's like part of
an art exhibition.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
And then I would love to be in that toilet.
I would love to.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Apparently, the gold itself is worth like almost four million dollars,
and that's why it keeps getting stolen. You think this
place would have more security, but it doesn't. These guys
literally just took two cars and just rammed one through
a door and then broke a it's in a normal bathroom.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Four million is a life changing amount of money. Yeah,
so I can understand the impulse. Times are tough out there.
People are dropping sausage, biscuits, nobody's grown wings.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Blenham Palace, I remember making fun of Blenham Palace. Yeah,
this is I mean, like Blenham Palace needs to put
this thing behind a glass door or something.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
What it makes a palace a palace?
Speaker 2 (32:30):
That's a great question.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
What's the difference between a castle and a palace, and
a palace and a mansion.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
I stayed in a castle quote unquote in Ireland and
it was awesome. It was so much fun. It was
like summer camp and it was just a house. Yeah,
it was just a big building.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
It was just a hotel where the floor's stone.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
No, okay, there was no thing about it that was
castley other than outside there was like, you know, kind
of like a thing. Ye yeah, okay, and that's it.
But it was built. I think maybe it used to be,
I don't. I mean, like I think it opened in
the fifties.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
So pretty new castle, pretty new castle. Yeah. Yeah. I
was riding horses in near Limerick. I think I was
in a place called Castle Fergus or Fergus, and there
was a beautiful castle that looked like something out of
Game of Thrones. Huh. And the farmer was walking the
(33:27):
horse Bluey, my horse, and I was like, does anybody
live there, and goes, oh, yeah, it's fully renovated inside.
It's really nice. I was like, that's cool. It's like, yeah,
some millionaire billionaire from Toronto lives there with his wife.
And I was like, coolest guy moved to Ireland, took
over an old castle, made it modern and now is
just surrounded by horse farms.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
And I'm like, all right, would you want to live
in a castle, Scottie.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Yeah, I think I would like to live in a castle,
but we don't really have them in the United States.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
I don't know if I would want to live in
a castle. Yeah, it seems to be drafty. Place, seems
to be too large for many for many families.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
I'll tell you what thing I do. You know, being
raised middle class, I've always had an aversion to rooms
and houses that don't get used, because when you would
visit rich people or even upper middle class, they always
had like a second living room that nobody used. They
would always have a room down off of a finished
(34:29):
basement that just like sometimes had some gym equipment in
it or something. But that to me is very useless
to heat and cool and light and all that stuff.
But also it's just tacky to me to have rooms
you don't use. So, you know what, I take it back,
I wouldn't want to live in a castle because castles
probably have empty rooms all over the place, all over
the place.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
And then it makes it to me when you have
too many rooms, it makes the rooms you do use
seem less important or less good. You know, it's like,
we got tons of.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
These, you know, we don't need it. Yeah, you don't
need it at all. I do want to build a
house one day that has a rotating plexiglass like parapit
called a thunderstorm room that has a really comfortable like
L shaped stuff in it, and the floor can rotate
so that you could sit in it and watch thunderstorms
(35:20):
roll in safely.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
I love this idea.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
I just sit up there with you. Guys, want to
come over, we can make some drinks and sit on
the sofa and watch a thunderstorm. Wouldn't that be great? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (35:31):
It would be Also, why don't rich people just have
a room that is just in their basement and it's
four walls of pure video screen top to bottom that
can show one like like you go to a thunderstorm
and it's like you just go sit in like comfortable
chairs in that room and a thunderstorm happens around you
(35:53):
with like really good speakers and everything like that, or
you like, and then you turn it and you're at
the beach. You turn it, you're at floating in space
anywhere you want, anywhere you want. You flip at your
ep s, your deep sea.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
My god, that would be the Redwoods just while you're
sitting in the Redwoods.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
And it just slowly moves around you.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
I would love that.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Come on, rich people, we have so many good ideas
for you.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Yeah, stop blowing it, stop buld you guys are idiots.
Here's some thumbs ups for us, all right. Jasmine wants
to give a giant thumb up for her dad, Philip.
He was the sweetest, most supportive father she could have
asked for. Jasmine lost her dad to multiple system atrophy
on Father's Day twenty twenty four. That's not easy, but
(36:37):
thankfully Jasmine's son was born late twenty twenty three and
was able to meet his grandfather before his passing. And Jasmine,
you have a great heart. That is a very wonderful
takeaway from a very heavy experience that your son got
to meet his granddad. That's very lovely. Thumbs up. Philip

Let's get back into it. Johnston Flood Museum is closed
because of flooding. Gretchen sent this in. Thank you, Gretchen.
This was in the Huffington Post. Really what that it
(39:28):
still exists? Well, it's called hoffpo now and nobody reads it.
This is written by David Moye. Really good job, David Moye.
Pennsylvania museum dedicated to remembering the effects of a nineteenth
century flood. That sounds fun. Okay, that's a fun place
to take that nineteenth kindergartener's elementary school, middle school, you
(39:49):
name it. Fun museum. What town this was in? Johnston? Johnstown, Johnston,
what state, Pennsylvania. Cambriaccount announced Monday. Oh, it was templar
temporarily closed because of flooding. The Johnstown Flood Museum in
Cambria County announced on Monday it is temporary clothes due
to an interior water league caused by recent extreme cold.
(40:13):
The leak caused water to pour through the museum walls,
damaging carpets, drywall, and ceiling towels in the process. According
to Johnstown NBC affiliate w Jack TV, I hope.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
That they build a small maybe like three foot by
three foot Johnstown flood flood Museum, Okay, flood museum flood.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
That idea is so good. It is breathtaking. And now
it's the one reason I would actually go to the
Johnstown flood Museum because I love a small museum. I
love yeah, but I'd like a smaller museum inside of
a museum. And the Johnstown flood Museum flood museum. I
think we got to get a letter writing campaign in animals.
If you want to email the Johnstown Flood Museum and
(40:57):
say I really like it. If you guys take the
recent flood you had inside of your museum and made
a small museum in honor of that flood, just give
us the newspaper articles, just give us a couple of photos.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
I think you have to get on your hands and
knees to enter it, but all the information is there.
If you want to learn about the flood at the
flood museum, have a turn.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
These lemons into lemonade. Nothing of historic significance was affected
by the flooding, which is shocking because when you think
of the Johnstown Flood or Johnston Flood Museum, you're just
thinking of all the historically significant pieces in there were
affected with flooding. In the museum's Facebook post credited museum
docent Nicky Bosley for discovering the league before there could
(41:42):
be serious damage. Good job, Nicky Boseley or Bosly.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
I mean, and now we know who is whose statue
stands in front of the Johnston Flood Museum flood Museum.
It's Nicky Boseley, absolutely, and she's earned it.
Speaker 1 (41:59):
She spotted a leek, which is not hard to do
in a.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
Empty museum.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
The museum is dedicated to memorializing the great Johnstown Flood
that we all won't shut up about, which occurred on
May thirty first, eighteen eighty nine. You're the lord. The
flood claimed the lives of twenty two one hundred people.
My god, they really couldn't swim back. They were not ready, No,
they were not good swimmers back then, and destroyed sixteen
(42:28):
hundred homes. That's the sad part. But you know what,
they've rebuilt, and I think we need to rebuild yet again.
The Johnstown Flood Museum flood Museum. We need to do it.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
Anybody who lives near Johnstown, Johnstown, Johnsontown too.
Speaker 1 (42:43):
Yeah, yeah, let us know.
Speaker 2 (42:45):
We would love to actually make that happen if you
if you're we will be happy to How much How
much money do does it require to make the Johnstown
Flodmuseum floo musum?
Speaker 1 (42:53):
Yeah, we're talking a small replica museum of the Johnstown
Flood Museum. That's maybe you know, it's like a all
birds wings across, maybe thirty six by thirty six, Max, I.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
Bet you we could do it for a thousand bucks easier.
Speaker 1 (43:05):
Yeah. I think we have friends that'll make this for
us and just a little recreation and maybe it just
drips a little water.
Speaker 2 (43:11):
How hard could that be?
Speaker 1 (43:14):
When I was a young banana, I was at a
birthday party at the Babe Ruth Museum in Baltimore, which
is fine. Yeah, Babe Ruth pretty cool guy.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
Yeah, there's a statue of him at Camden Yards.
Speaker 1 (43:27):
Probably he grew up in Baltimore, and you know, even
people that don't like baseball known the name Babe Ruth.
And it was a we would go to about one
a year, like the movies, and but we go to
this and there was a guy that was sort of
a bully. I would say, I've only had two people
actually try to bully me, like physically in my life. Yeah.
(43:48):
One of them was at this birthday party boys and girls,
probably eight, nine, ten years old.
Speaker 2 (43:53):
Oh got to Yeah, I'm familiar with all those times.
I'm familiar with those types of birds all age.
Speaker 1 (43:57):
So we get in one of the dad's cars drying
to the next stop. The next phase was splash down
indoor water park.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
Oh my god, that sounds fantastic.
Speaker 1 (44:06):
Indoor water slides. If somebody dropped the visa and you
got to take friends to the indoor splash down water park,
you were having a great day. But the bully was
just pissed at me. He was there staring me, staring
at me the whole time. Then we get in the
car and he pulls down the sun visor and there's
little mirror and in the visory's staring at me in
(44:27):
the backseat. We're like five across the backseat and this
guy's just being a jerk. So while we're driving, we
go to a red light and he rolls down the
window and he had had like we all got blowpops
and so he took the wrapper and threw it in
the bed of the truck park next to us, just
being tough, being a real nine year old rebel. Yea.
And the guy got out of the truck and got
(44:49):
the wrapper and pushed it back into his chest and go,
you dropped something, kid, and got back in the car,
and then he got the dad yelled at him. It
wasn't even his dad was like, the girl's birthday, girls
down driving and I just got to sit back and
watch the threat. The guy that was threatening to probably
drown me and splash down just get so humiliated and
(45:10):
honestly bullied around. And then the dad was like, that's
not right. You shouldn't throw and like he was like,
don't tell my mom. And I'm just sitting in the backseat,
just having the greatest birthday of my entire life. And
it wasn't even mine.
Speaker 2 (45:23):
Wow, I am like the guy driving the truck got out.
Speaker 1 (45:28):
That guy's a bully, got out, took the trash, gives
put it, I mean leaves.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
Everything is falling in the back of your pickup truck.
It is open to the world. You're gonna shove a
wrapper into a nine year old chest? What a bully and.
Speaker 1 (45:48):
You had to hear my MVP, my personal My Baby Ruth,
the Babe Ruth of Traffic Stops is so great.
Speaker 2 (45:55):
Why is the candy bar baby Ruth and not Babe?
Speaker 1 (46:01):
I don't know, but I think it is connected. I
think it's supposed to be a play on Babe Ruth.
Speaker 2 (46:06):
Yeah, I mean, I guess so it's in the way
that like Babe Ruth is a recognized sounds that we've
heard before, and baby Ruth is words that just sound
like it. But there's no other connection, right, It wasn't
like a baseball snack or it's supposed to be like
a bat or something like that that would be funny,
(46:28):
like little bat. If it's a little bat. If it's
a little baby Ruth, it's a little baby bat.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
What is in a baby Ruth? Nugat?
Speaker 2 (46:36):
Is that? I think nuts?
Speaker 1 (46:39):
Maybe is nugat? Is nugat? The Uncanny Valley Dwarf of
chocolate candy.
Speaker 2 (46:44):
Bar looks like the dwarf's faces look like they're made
of nugget. Boy, that's what it looks like if you
stripped chocolate off of a nugget candy bar. That's what
the dwarfs look.
Speaker 1 (46:55):
Like I in the workhous writer's room, we had a
and the writer's assistant and we said, do you like
Snickers bars? And she goes, no, Snickers bars are very millennial.
Gen Z doesn't like Snickers bars. And I was like,
there's no way that's Snickers are so delicious. And then
ice cream snickers.
Speaker 2 (47:15):
Oh my gosh, is that that's such a funny thing
to do.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
That's like an old person. But what we're saying is
like the greatest generation love those baby roofs. Yeah, they
couldn't get up.
Speaker 2 (47:25):
But also I think I've ever eaten yeah, payday or
a baby roof, I don't think I've ever eaten one.
Speaker 1 (47:30):
It was always astonishing, especially our New York and animals
will instantly be able to picture this. Every city sidewalk
in Manhattan, every corner, and most in Brooklyn, Queen's all
of the Burroughs have bodegas everywhere, and every bodega has
a wall of candy in front of the counter. Yeah,
and they're selling it. They wouldn't have it if it
wasn't making money.
Speaker 2 (47:50):
Oh no, it's it's making money.
Speaker 1 (47:51):
I mean, how many candy bars? I wish we had
Mary roach On, I want to find out how many
candy bars they sell every day in Manhattan, because you know,
somebody buys a baby Ruth every day at the same
videga every single day. That's like their little moment of joy.
Speaker 2 (48:06):
When I met Kristin. When I met Kristen, that was her.
She would eat really she ate like a like a
feral animal when I met her. I mean like we
I guess we were like in our early like mid twenties,
you know, like I was my late twenties, twenties. But yeah,
she would like she would have like like go to
McDonald's like once a day.
Speaker 1 (48:25):
It was one really close to her house, unfairly close.
It was maybe four stoops away from her house. And
also pretty good McDonald's. Pretty good McDonalds for is weird.
What was your ultimate cheap food in New York City,
like at your poorest but when you bought food out
in the city.
Speaker 2 (48:42):
Oh, just the dollar slice places.
Speaker 1 (48:44):
Yeah there were a lot of them too.
Speaker 2 (48:45):
Yeah, there was a lot of them.
Speaker 1 (48:46):
And there and for a long time, Grace Papia did
two dogs for a dollar and that was big. That
was big.
Speaker 2 (48:52):
That's what actually got me eating meat again because I
stopped eating red meat when I was twelve because I
read a book and it was like, good, global warming
is happening, and if you want to solve it, don't
eat red meat. And I was like, I'm gonna solve
global warming one man at a time. So I only
ate chicken for whatever the next six years. And then
(49:12):
I got to Baltimore and realized, oh, I can buy
two hot dogs for one dollar. Yes, I guess I'm
gonna eat red meating.
Speaker 1 (49:19):
Yes, that happens all the time. You know. I dated
a woman speaking saving the world. Who's comfort viewing? Like,
you know, I'm hungover, I'm bored. I want something on
in the background. Why cook? Was the documentary Blackfish? What
about killer Whales? What? And me can see what? That's
(49:40):
so nice getting her comfort thing. I would say, she's
watched Blackfish ninety to one hundred.
Speaker 2 (49:52):
That's amazing.
Speaker 1 (49:53):
It was not a deal breaker, but it was the Uh,
it was terrifying.
Speaker 2 (49:57):
It was terrifying.
Speaker 1 (49:58):
It was a It's something I watched one time, and
it was like, I agree across the board.
Speaker 2 (50:05):
I don't ever need to watch it. Once you have
the information.
Speaker 1 (50:09):
I have the information.
Speaker 2 (50:11):
What's your ultimate comfort? TV?
Speaker 1 (50:14):
Man? I really don't have one. I got caught off
guard on a pitch yesterday for a romantic comedy pitch.
I was pitching to the actress they wanted to star,
and I know she is going to pass. And at
the end, when you know, sometimes they ask questions about
character or whatever story she goes. I'm just curious, like
looking down it not, It's just curious, what is your
favorite movie? And you know it shifts depending on everything,
(50:36):
but I answered, honestly, I go right now. My favorite
movie is the Silence of the Lambs. And it is
a great movie. It's incredible great and I've been kind
of going back. It's my favorite scary movie for sure.
But story wise and character wise, it's so good. Like
Handbell Lecter's barely on screen, He's only on screen for
like twelve fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2 (50:54):
And he's everything, and it's.
Speaker 1 (50:56):
Iconic and you think of it forever. And I was
just thinking of those characters, and she only caught me
off guard, and I know I should have been like
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or something.
Speaker 2 (51:06):
Yeah, more rom comedy.
Speaker 1 (51:07):
Yeah, so I bet she passes. My comfort is oh man,
I really like dumb action movies, so like Deep Blue Sea,
the Shark movie. Hello cool Je, Tom's Jane. I've probably
seen that twenty times. Oh wow, oh wow, I'll just
put it on if it's on a streamer.
Speaker 2 (51:28):
I get that.
Speaker 1 (51:29):
I get that TV. No, I don't have any I
love new TV. I don't like watching old TV. I
like new TV.
Speaker 2 (51:35):
I think my comfort, my ultimate comfort. I don't think
it's on anymore, is how it's made. Oh, I mean,
what a delight. Oh I would watch that.
Speaker 1 (51:43):
I leave Forensic Files on too when I'm in a
like when you and I tore bananas. I put that
on when I'm showering and such, so, which is funny
because Forensic Files was all you know, You're like, could
you shoot any episode where anybody on the show looks
like a modern human being? Everybody, every detective is wearing
an oversized button down shirt that is a color of
(52:05):
like burnt orange, with like a tie that matches. They
all have horrible combovers goates, And I'm like, then, I
was watching a thing about murder in Newport Beach and
they showed like the da the detectives. They were all
like beach volleyball player, good looking, they all had sharp
Brooks brothers suits on and then dresses and the women
(52:26):
were styled their makeuples one point. Then you turn on
forensic files and it's like where did you drag these
what swamp? What primordial swamp did you pull them out of?
To find this murder in Wisconsin? And then you look
at it, you're like, this must be from nineteen eighty three,
and it's like two thousand and nine.
Speaker 2 (52:48):
Oh, good times here, I'll send us home with this.
Oh beautiful Chinese influencer spends one hundred and forty thousand
dollars to become an android. Oh this woman looks like
an android. Oh it's kind of way I was picturing
a guy right away.
Speaker 1 (53:02):
Oh yeah she does.
Speaker 2 (53:04):
Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 1 (53:06):
She kind of looks cool. I mean the money well spent,
I mean yeah, it's it's mission accomplished, Mission person accomplished.
Speaker 2 (53:16):
And she can like move like an android. Really well,
we're all for that, Yeah, it's uh. And then there's
a woman in Ja, I know it's also in China. Uh,
who's a different woman who owns and runs a restaurant,
and she like again, has had work done to make
herself look like an android. And then moves like a
(53:37):
robot and like serves people, but does it like poorly,
like as if a robot's doing it poorly, like handing
food and like only halfway making it to the table
at the smacking it down. It's really really funny, and
people come from all over to like have food from
an android dream.
Speaker 1 (53:55):
Get out there been animals. If you're in China, go
to that weird robot restaurant, Go to the John Down
Great Flood Museum in Cambria County, Pennsylvania, and keep being you.
Get out there, have some fun. The weather's getting better,
