and laugh.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I think you are.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
I am here.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It is clever. Crocodiles in Indonesia are faking drowning to
lure humans in to rescue them and then eat them.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I mean, it's a beautiful world. We live on a
beautiful planet. And let's get into a beautiful episode of
the Bananas Podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
World.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Understand, would your sillion pieces would.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Ba ba?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Bana Guys, goals, non binary pals, Welcome to Bananas.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I'm Kirk Brown Older, Hi, I'm Banana Boy number two.
Thank you for listening to the silliest little podcast server was.
We understand the world is very strange right now, but
we just keep it light, keep it easy, breezy. We're
the opposite of hot takes, guys, we're cold takes. This
is the.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Old takes, all right. We'd like a nice thing of
leftovers in the fridge. When you open that up your siight,
it's just that reheated if you want, We're not going
to heat it up. We are the cold take boys.
We do not speak truth to power.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
We just wiggle between the cracks because we know your
mental health relies on it. Anyways, anyway, stand up shows,
you want to announce, well, I do.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Want to say March twenty ninth will be a stand
up live in Phoenix, Arizona Live Bananas Podcast, and then
I will be March seventh Asbury Park, New Jersey, March
eighth in Chicago at the Den Theater, and March ninth
in Cincinnati. Actually it's Kentucky. It's Dayton, Kentucky. I'm gonna
be upfront with you at the Commonwealth's cool at the

Commonwealth Sanctuary. It's a cool little venue. All the dates

we're really both very interested in here, all right, our

comedy's been seen on the Tonight show This Is Not
Happening and her last stand up special on Hulu, The Hustler.

You can hear her on her podcast Pretend Problems, or
watch her on her brand news special Mark Your Territory
out today on Hulu and YouTube. Please welcome Kelsey Cook.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Hi, guys, thank you for having me.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
We're so glad to have you. We've wanted to have
you on for a while, but it's exciting when there
is a special coming out because that is a time
where people get revved up and you don't have to
talk about your past specials, which I know can be
a bummer sometimes too.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
This is true. This is true.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
There's an album from a long time where we're like,
I don't ever want to speak of that. Ever, No
one needs to listen to that. This one's more fun
to talk about for sure.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah, where did you record it?
Speaker 5 (02:56):
So?
Speaker 3 (02:56):
I recorded it at Comedy on State in noticin the
boest love it.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
There's actually my room.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Oh my god, best screen room. It was actually my
first time ever at that club, so it was like
a little bit of a gamble, but I had just
heard from everybody that it was their favorite club in
the country, and.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
So I was like, fuck it, let's just do it.
Rip the tits off it.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
And it just ripped the tits off.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, that's what they're say in Madison. That's a specifically
Madison expression because it's so cold there.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yes, well, I moved to Minnesota two years ago, so
now I would understand it completely. It was negative eighteen
here last week and I almost almost perished. It's it's
really insane what happens out here. I don't get why
it's even like a place that people live. I only
(03:45):
moved here because this is where my boyfriend is from.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
But other than that, it's.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Like I wish it was kind of like a spirit
Halloween where it's like, let's just be open for a
couple months, but in the summer and the rest of
the time, it's like we don't need this, we.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Switch over to a Christmas tree.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Yeah, so anyway, but yeah, but Madison was lovely, the
people there were great, and yeah, I'm really happy with
how the special turned out.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Oh that's that's a great feeling. Kurt mentioned the uh
the green room there, because you know, you're a touring comic,
you've been many places, and sometimes they put you in
basically a broom closet, Like sometimes you're really really and
sometimes the menu at those places is so bad you're like,
I'm just not going to eat for the next five hours.
(04:32):
But for some reason, they have like the greatest of
It's like a friend's TV show New York apartment with
a full table with great food with every toy.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Imagine there's a shot. It's like truly the soundstage of
the New Girl Show. It's like gorgeous and yeah, I
don't know, maybe you guys have worked there.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
I won't say the name of the club.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
There is a club, uh in California where the green
room truly is like the broom closet and it's slashed
the kitchen and I just remember seeing buckets of hot dogs,
like what you would keep gardening gloves in, but it
was the hot dogs in there. And I had family
comm and I was like, you will not eat when
you were here? Look at me, like you eat before
(05:18):
you come, do not eat? And so the comedy on
State green Room, it's like comics, see such dark shit
that you get a pop a shot machine.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
You feel like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
But whenever Scotty, So, Scotty's a you know, he's a screenwriter,
so like this is the first time that he's ever
been going and doing shows with me live on the road,
and every single time we go out and goes, I
have no fucking idea how you stand ups do it?
I have no idea. This is awful.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I mean, it's fun because it's Kurt and I and
I love Kurt and so and we're wearing our dumb
yellow outfits, and we're talking about other stuff, like we're
never worried about our live shows. It's not anxious beforehand.
We're having a good time as buddies. So I understand that.
But sometimes Kirk goes out there to run tech and
I'm just sitting on black crap leather sofas and or
a love seat, and I'm sitting there looking at all
(06:09):
the signed headshots and all the signed tour posters, and
I'm like, this is fucking terrible. I love and all
my friends are comics. Kelsey like yeah, and I empathize.
And I think that everybody that came from nowhere and
played those shows for two people. Yeah, play the bar
shows where nobody showed up, and then you get an
(06:31):
audience and then suddenly have a full club. It's incredible.
But what people don't know is the mental strain of
just sitting back there by yourself all night, I mean
twice in between shows.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
It sucks.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Yeah, yeah, you have to be broken in a really
specific way to want to do this for a living.
And I don't Kurt, if you do this, tell me.
But sometimes on the road, if it's like an especially
dark weekend, I will turn the thermost up in my
hotel room really high, so that when I come back,
I feel like I'm getting a hug from the room.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
That I love.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
That I'm just like, I need to be held by
this double tree right now because there's no bumper in
the green.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I get held by the massive amount of food I
eat afterwards, and they hugged me from the inside. Yes,
the pressure is the same. The pressure is the same.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
I completely here.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
What is the what's the new special about? What do
you what do you talk about in there? Do you
talk about moving?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
I do?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah, that's a that's a good chunk of the beginning
of the special is talking about moving to Minnesota, talking
about like, I mean, you have to really fucking love
somebody to move here, and I moved here in January,
which is just.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Like trial by fire.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
It's intense.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
It's so intense. So talking about that, talking about how.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
So my my boyfriend is Chad Daniels, who's also a comedian,
and he's older than me, and so I talk about
like our age gap. And he has adult children and
so that's he has a daughter who's about to turn
twenty one. And that's been an interesting dynamic because you know,
she'll like she followed me on Instagram when we started dating,
(08:15):
and then she saw some of my material.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
About her dad.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Like I had posted a joke from my previous special
about that Chad has a sect to me, and he's
the first guy I've ever been with the sect to me,
So I like didn't know what to expect, and like,
is this sort of like, you know, just just a
very graphic joke, and like terms of finding out what
(08:42):
what happens, like if it's just dust.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Or it's everyone.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Old pixie stick and I've quit jockeing.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Surprisingly, Surprisingly, it's more dust than it was anything else.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yeah, and for those listening at home, it's exactly the same,
nothing changes. It couldn't be more similar. You know something
a coward go get a secto.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
That is that's like the end of my joke is
saying like it's basically normal. I mean this is again
it's a little graphic, but I do say I feel
like it's like beyond Burger, where it's like it looks
the same, think it looks the same, but then once
it's in your mouth, you're like something's missing. This is
like me, this is like diet come. This is like wider.
(09:32):
This is it's different. Anyway, I had posted that joke
on Instagram, not thinking about that history now followed me,
and she let her dad know pretty swiftly that I
had been unfollowed. And uh so, anyway, I like all
that back in this special, talk about that a little bit,
(09:53):
and then uh my mom unfortunately has this like very
rare type of dementia. And and so the last oh
thank you, the last part of the special, I talk
about like going through that process with her and just trying.
It's like, it's such a heavy, hard thing to go
through and to talk about. But I wanted to find
(10:15):
a way to bring it on stage because it's been
so great now to I have people come up afterward
and be like, oh my god, my parent also has
dementia where my grandmyparent has it. Thank you for finding
it in a way to like bring some levity. So
so yeah, I talked about it there.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
That is so such a like my last special, I
talked about my mom dying of cancer, and that was
like the last story I don't know twenty minutes of it.
Thank you okay, And it is such a did you
Because I wrestled with the piece as a piece for
like I don't know, like a two years to find
the right thing to end it with, and it took
(10:54):
me until we were like getting ready to shoot oh,
to be actually find the exact actual words that got
the response that I wanted to so that it like
ended really high to how long did you have to
try and find that ending or was it already kind
of there?
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I you know, I guess I didn't find it because
I ended up closing on a different joke that wasn't
about her, but the dementia stuff kind of like led
into that. But I'm I'm now in that place with
this new hour that I'm working on on tour where
I'm talking about it a little bit again and I
maybe you.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Guys can help me.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
I'm trying to find the way to talk about how
she doesn't always recognize me anymore.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Now sure, Yeah, I've had that, and how.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
That like I know when she doesn't recognize me because
she talks to me like a guy with commitment issues,
Like I'll be like, Okay, I love you, and she's
like that's nice.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
But it's so funny.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
I oh thanks.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I Also I just feel like it shows you how
sweet of a human she is because like if you
think about what's really going on internally for her, so
few people would react like that if they actually thought
of strange like this, just strange girl came into your
bedroom and like hung out with you for eight hours
and then.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
The end was like I love you, you'd be like can
you get the fuck out of you? Like people would
freak out and call the cops, and my mom's just like, Okay,
that's nice. So I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Again, it's it's very dark and I'm trying. It's like
get in a lot, but it's not like a closing laugh,
you know.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Yeah, I've been dating her long enough. If you got
a date at least six months before you say I
love you. My grandmother had to mention also, And the
last time I saw her, she was she was like Michael,
and I was like, yes, I just rolled with it
so hard, and she was talking out a time when
I was a little kid and I had the blondest
hair and a great Dane was licking my hair and
(12:52):
it was so funny, and so I just was like
that was the best. Oh my god, I remember that
so much that I left and then I asked my dad.
I was like who's Michael. He's like, there's no Michaels.
I was like, who had a Great Dane growing up?
And he's like, I can't remember ever having a great
Dane anybody extended family. But our interaction for thirty five minutes,
she's just tears and her eyes laughing about somebody that
(13:13):
looked like a miniature version of me in the eighties.
I guess, just getting licked on the head by a
great Dane and it drove her wild.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I like that your impulse was to like just yes,
and it because of apparently like that is a good
thing to do, because it doesn't upset them, you know,
like it allows them to just like and then sometimes
through the telling of it, they'll be able to be like, wait,
that wasn't you know, Like it comes in to focus
but correcting, and you can often upset them. I guess, yeah, totally.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Yeah, which if you put yourself in that position, like
it would be upsetting too to have somebody like that
didn't happen, and you're like, I for sure no, Like
of course in the moment, they feel like this is
absolutely true.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
So that is something I had to get used to. Also.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
In the beginning, it was just like, oh, it's actually
less harmful to just go with this then to keep
trying to correct and it's like it's a weird thing
to navigate for sure.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Yeah. You know.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
My first impulse, of course, on that joke is at
the end of the show, getting my impulses to go
to the audience with it and say, like, somehow led
it up to the fact that you ask them to
tell you as as a group that I love you,
and then after they say I love you, just go, oh,
well that's nice, and then.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Oh, my god, that would be great.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Do you want to hear about this crocodile?
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yes, oh yeah, we have that. Okay, So this is
from the Economic Times. A lot of people sent this
in when I settled alarm. Every morning, I say what
does the Economic Times have to say about this issue?
And turns out they say a lot. This is not
(15:02):
written by anyone, because the Economic Times, I'm not sure
is a real newspaper. No, here it is. A new
video making waves online suggest that crocodiles may be using
a clever trick to capture prey. The clip, narrated with
a British accent, picks a crocodile appearing to fake drownding
in order to attract unsuspecting humans into the water. While
(15:24):
at first glance, this idea may seem far fetch the
possibility of this behavior as captured attention. Could crocodiles be
smart enough to lure tourist into their jaws The crocodile
drowning trap in the video of the narrator humans really
just I mean, like this is just a fucking This
is a newspaper article about a viral video in sight
(15:46):
of what seems like a human like figure. So it's
essentially they just they put they go upside down, so
their little stumpy hand is just one's hand is sticking
out of the water and then they just wave it
back and forth like they're drowning, and then slowly get
like it looks exactly like they have five fingers, and
from afar it looks like like a child's hand or
(16:08):
something like that. You would if you like looked at
it and saw it like jump in. So basically this
is a very long article. Okay, So while this idea
of fake drowning is speculative, crocodiles are known to use
other clever tactics to capture prey. For instance, some crocodiles
have been observed placing sticks on their heads to attract birds,
(16:29):
birds which then become their meal. That's interesting. That's kind
of like trying to catch like quarters from your elbow,
you know, to try a bird who's on your head.
New research has also shown that allegais and crocodiles can
use small sticks to lure birds. Well, they just repeated themselves. Okay,
it happens times economic times. No, I mean, they have
(16:56):
been around since the time of dinosaurs, so they've figured
out how to eat a little bit. But yeah, but anyway,
that's what they're doing in Indonesia right now. That's what's
in with the crocodiles.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Now have we heard of this happening anywhere else they
have any other crocodiles?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
You know, the economic times, I'm gonna tell you they
shit on it a little bit. They're like, I don't
know if this is real. Yeah, I think a lot
of the other articles I could have chosen from where
they investigated it with a little more scientific rigor about
whether or not this could be true. Yea, I've never
been to Indonesia, but I went to I went to Cambodia,
(17:34):
when I was in my twenties, my early twenties, it
was it was real. It's like it's a fascinating like
the there's thousands, there's thousands, like those hundreds. There's so
many people there and none of them are American. It's
crazy walking around.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
That's fucking crazy, you guys.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
But the structures and all of the temples that are
in the jungle there that you can go and it's
all the National Park, you know, you can go to.
It's like mind breaking how many hundreds of them there are,
and they're gantic. But I was in my twenties. So
we did that one day, and then the next day
I was like, I'm gonna buy weed. I was like
(18:19):
twenty three. Of course, somebody like Cambodia. So I go
and I find a guy and i'd like read in
a book of how to buy weed in Cambodia, because
this was before the Internet, or I guess the internet
just started. And I find a guy and he's on
a moped and we go. I get on his moped
and he like drives me around a corner, very safe environment,
(18:42):
and then he like gets out and he gives me.
I give him money, he gives me like, I don't know,
it looks like a collection of tiny sticks, and I'm
like all right, and I like, go back. And then
I look at it and it doesn't smell like weed.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
It doesn't look like weed.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
It's just like something, you know. Yeah, but of course
I'm down to try.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
And I didn't throw that in the trash.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I did not throw that into the trash, and so
we're good. There's a big issue with and so I
tried smoking it that night and nothing happened. I was like,
this is probably bunk, but it didn't stop me from
doing it again the next day, being like, maybe it's
the second time. I'll try to if I just believe.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
Yeah, I believe in myself.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
And Cambodia has a huge problem in the fact that
the camer Rouge buried all of these mines that had
been detected, and Americans buried mines during the Vietnam War, right,
so both sides were burying mines and like, I don't know,
ten percent of them at that time had been discovered,
and they would take people's legs off and arms off
(19:49):
all the time. So they had a real problem with
blood supply. And Cambodia and we're like learning all about this,
and I'm like, I'm going to give blood, you know.
And so I go into a clinic to give blood.
And my girlfriend at the time we'd been dating since
college college girlfriend, and she like was doing something else
(20:09):
and then I was like, oh, I'm gonna go do this,
and then she was like what And then she sat
down and I went in and then I'm there and
I had smoked the weed before I went and was
sitting down and like they literally put the and this
is like a clinic. It's just like a room. There's
no there's like one plastic chair that I'm sitting in.
(20:32):
It's in the middle of the jungle, you know. Yeah,
and so I get it. But everything looked pretty like,
you know, from a twenty three year old's perspective, like, well,
it looks pretty gleed. And so they put the needle
in and I start giving blood, and you know, you
have to wait there for quite some time for all
the blood to come out, you know, and then my girlfriend,
who had been sitting in the waiting room just had
(20:54):
it like I don't know what happened, but she bursts
in and she's just like crying and she's like don't
do it. And I was just like, I'm already doing it.
And then and then I was like, it's okay, don't worry,
I'll beat you out. And then she was scrying. She left,
and then right then this the weed like took that
(21:16):
moment to come out in the weirdest way where I
just got incredibly paranoid. So that, oh, like the forty
five minutes that I had to give blood in this
like one room on a plastic chair, I was.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Just like, did I just kill my son?
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Oh my?
Speaker 2 (21:37):
And guess what, guys, I did it. And it was
totally fun. There you are and you should not be worried.
I was right in my brashness of a twenty three
year old. Just give blood when you're in Cambodia, give blood. Okay,
good for you, I know.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
And if you want to get blood, we've gamified it.
You can join the Bana Animals. We are currently ranked
two hundred and eighty seventh out of sixty nine eight
hundred teams ban Animals.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
We're now thirty seventh.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
We are to eighty seven.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
That's up from seven to thirty two thousand. We were
seven thirty two last episode.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Yeah, we're we're getting way better. We're pumping out units.
But we are currently between Drexel University, who can suck
our butts, and Starbucks, who could really suck our butts.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Starbucks above us, are below us.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
It is one above us. They're to eighty six, Drexels
to eighty eight. So ban animals feel free. You get
the app, you go to the American Red Cross Blood,
don't wrapp join the ban animals and start pumping out blood.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
All right, let's beat.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Let's beat star Verb.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Not on drugs and sitting on a plastic chair in
the woods or whatever. That would be so good.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Also, I don't know if you can even give blood
when you're high. I mean, like, is that even allowed?
Does it affect your blood? I have no idea. Did
I give them tainted blood? It's like, oh man, there's
a lot of sticks smoking here because it just sticks.
I was smoking.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Sticks were just a law around people's stress. I love it.

her to take partner ceremony as a prank for his
Instagram account. She only recently discovered the marriage was genuine
(24:15):
and when when he tried to use it to gain
permanent residency in Australia. What we had a motive. So
not only did he lie, he like really lied.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
How much?
Speaker 5 (24:29):
How many motherfucker.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
What how many actual followers does he have? Let's see
what's his what's his let me.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
See what his handle is, because I don't even know
if they mentioned You might have to just google it
on Google dot com, Kurt, I'll use Google dot cot.
It's a website just being Google, and then click on
Google link and then there's a search bar and then
you put in Instagram's stunt wedding turns out to be
real one. Okay, okay. The bizarre case began in September
(24:59):
twenty two three, when the woman met her partner on
an online dating platform. They began seeing each other regularly
in Melbourne, where they lived at the time, in December
that year. So I'm running the numbers over here.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Four months later, four months later, okay, and so they
were actually dating.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
They were dating, Okay, okay. In December that year, the
woman proposed to the woman. She accepted. It might be
a little quick, you know. Two days later, the woman
attended an event with the man in Sydney. She was
told it would be a white party where attendees would
wear white colored clothing and was told to pack a
white dress, but when she arrived, she was shocked and furious.
(25:38):
She was finally she was pranked to find no other
guest president except her partner, photographer, the photographer's friend, and
a celebrant. According to her deposition that's been quoted in
court documents. So when I got there, I didn't see
anybody in white. I asked him what's happening, and he
pulled me aside and he told me that he's organizing
(25:58):
a prank wedding for social media, to be precise, his Instagram,
because he wants to boost his content and wants to
start monetizing his Instagram page.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Okay, so he's not monetizing this is this is his
plan not only to make money, but also become an
Australian citizen. He really thought he had it all, he
had all wrapped up wild.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Yeah, this is a creepy dude, And like, you know,
we don't know these people. But that seems like the
point where that woman should have said, I think we
should break up. It's only been four months. Talking about
is insane. But what do I know? Maybe he's a
great genre who I don't know, she said. She had
(26:43):
accepted his explanation as he was a social media person
who had more than seventeen thousand followers on Instagram.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
Oh that's it.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Oh man, that's nothing.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yeah, that's impressive in two thousand and six maybe, but's
twenty five seventeen thousand. There's totstools online that have more
followers than that.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Okay, influencer is being used very loosely here, there's what
are we influencing?
Speaker 1 (27:14):
That's right. Next time I have to give a speech
and I don't even have an Instagram outside the Banana's account,
I'm gonna be like, I'm Scotty Landis I'm a micro influencer. Yes,
I have less than fifteen thousand followers.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
That's what. Actually, my friend, our friends opened a bread
shop in La called Breadhead. It's in Venice.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Should go, it's so much great name.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Breadhead's a good name.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Shout out Michael.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
But he was saying. He was saying, he's like, the
thing is that's hard about starting is like you get
contact by all these micro influencers. And I was like,
what are micro influencers? He's like, there're people with no
followers who want free food.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Oh my, yeah, it's such an oxymoron micro influence.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
It's like the word influencer is.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Based on that you have a lot of followers, can
be small.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
I have a micro actually have a micro influence over
two small children that live in my house, and so
they will be really into it if I tell them too.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Yeah, they eat for free all the time. Okay. So
she also believed that a civil marriage would only be
valid if it had been held in a courthouse. Still,
she remained concerned. The woman rang a friend and voiced
her worries, but the friend laughed it off and said
it would be fine because if it were real, they
would have had to file a notice of intending marriage first.
(28:33):
Didn't know that educational podcast, which they had not done, reassured.
The woman went through the ceremony where she and her
partner exchange wedding vows and kissed in front of a camera.
She said she was happy to play a long and
make it seem real. Two months later, her partner asked
her to add him both as a dependent on her
application for permanent residency in Australia. Both of them are foreigners.
(28:56):
When she told him that she could not as they
were technically not married, he then revealed that their sitting
wedding Sydney wedding ceremony had been genuine according to the
woman's testimony.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
But I don't understand, like I know how it works
in America, maybe it's a little different in Australia. You
have to sign a paper, you have to sign a
paper to say you're you're married. Did she I mean,
like when she was signing that paper.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
She did not sign it? So great segue CURTI. Okay,
here's the next paragraph. The woman found their marriage certificate
and discovered a notice of intended marriage which had not
been filed the month before their Sydney trip, before they
even got engaged, which she said she did not sign.
According to the court documents, the signature on the notice
bears little resemblance to the woman.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
So no, he.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Ew, which makes me.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Think of that movie Catch Me if you Can, which
also I've found out recently even that story's fake. Like
that guy, yeah, no, whole thing.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
So his greatest scam is he actually convinced people to
believe that story of him being a scam fake check
writer is fake. So the movie is based on the
fake book of a fake story.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Which is actually pretty great.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Amazing.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, like he never worked for the FBI.
But also that movie is like a perfectly made movie.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
I watch that.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
I enjoy that movie.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Steve Spielberg, Leo Decapp, T Hanks, How are those three
going to f it up? But it is funny because
like that era of writing bad checks, just forging. All
you have to do is have a convincing signature. It's
just so crazy. I know everybody wasn't doing it. I
would have done. Everybody's just constantly writing fake checks. It
(30:41):
seems like a very easy crime to get away with.
And then you just leave town.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Yeah, and then they don't have any way of finding
you if you simply leave the town.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
What a time to be alive when this time God's
so good anonymous everything.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
The woman said, I am furious with the fact that
I didn't know that this was a real marriage, and
the fact that he also lied to me from the beginning,
and the fact he also wanted me to add him
to my application, she said. In his deposition, the man
claimed they had both agreed to these circumstances, and at
following the proposal, the woman had agreed to marry him
at an intimate ceremony in Sydney, four people. The judge
(31:24):
ruled that the woman was mistaken about the nature of
the ceremony performed, it did not provide real consent or
participation to the marriage, and he stated in the judgment
that the marriage could be annulled. And it was October
twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Yay.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Crazy though, So I'm so confused because they were engaged.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Correct, I think so? Yeah, they were engaged.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
So it's like, why all the smoke and mirror, Like,
why not just be like, how would you feel about
a quick wedding?
Speaker 5 (31:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
I feel like this lady if she was willing to
say yes to get in engaged within four months, she
probably would have put up too much of a fight
on like hobving a wedding shortly after. But when you're
fucking dupener, then everybody's like, well, what the hell is this?
Let me invite my family for Christ's sake, Like you
know what I mean, don't.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Do better prank if the whole family shows up too,
by the way, yeah, you're gonna get more likes if
the family's there and it's a fake wedding. Yeah, I
don't know, don't do.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
It is it's also just such a like, I don't know,
it's such a weird, such a dude way of doing it.
It's just like, I'm not going to just talk about it.
I'm going to create a ruse, and my ruse will
be successful because I'll control it.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I smell personality disorder. I mean, there's something obviously deeply
wrong with this. This is insane behavior. This is like
baby reindeer shit, you know what I mean, Like, something's
weird here.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Yeah, I've been watching that HBO Max show, An Update
on Our Family. I think it's called, Yeah, an Update
on Our Family. It's like a documentary about a family
that are life vloggers or whatever. And then they're going
to adopt a kid from China, and then they do,
and then things go sideways and it is peak hate love.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
They give back, they give their baby back spoilers. Oh yeah,
they adopt a baby and they're like, we're adopting an
autistic baby from China, and they make a whole big
deal about it. And then after one year they're like,
and we're and then all of a sudden, the baby
just is no longer in their social It's.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
So oh my god, and after a yeah, yeah, yeah,
every part of it.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
It's pretty fascinating. It's pretty. But then I'm somebody, so
I'm watching content about people who watch content, about people
who make content, and so I'm no better. I'm it's
just like two mirrors on. It's like a Mormon wedding.
I'm just going into infinity.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
I'm watching. I'm actually watching this documentary called Scotty watches
this documentary and it's just a camera that I've set up.
It's got he's living room. While he watches that.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Documentary, we're getting really close to KURTI b teas us
into some thumbs ups.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
I got that.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Let's see.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Oh, this is an update on the ladies Lounge. Do
you remember the Lady's Lounge?
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Scottie, tell me about that lady's lounge.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
This was a lady's lounge in Tasmania where it is
it was, Yeah, so women women's only club. It was
part of an art exhibit art exhibit, and then a
guy sued them because he's like, that's discrimination, and so
then they moved the exhibit into the ladies room. Uh,
(34:41):
and to like to fuck with him. But now they've
won their Supreme Court case in Australia. So now the
Lady's Lounge is back and it's an update on she
made it even better and better than ever.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Yeah, that is I can't wait some thumbs ups. So
here's some thumbs up from our bananimal. Sam's is thumbing
up her sister Lee or Leah. I think it's Leah
introduced Sam's to bananas. It's so fun. They chat about
the silliness that we bring into their lives. Sam's and
Leah thumbs up. And if it's Lee, I'm so sorry.
(35:14):
Tot's h dash G is thumbing up her husband, Griffin.
They got married on November fifteenth, and Griffin is planning
their entire honeymoon to Thailand. Any suggestions, Kelsey, have you
ever been to Thailand?
Speaker 3 (35:28):
I have not been to Thailand. I do just hope
that this wedding was consensual. After this last story, I'm
a little nervous for everybody now.
Speaker 5 (35:35):
But no, I've never been to Thailand.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
I do have a recommendation. I really liked the island
this and of course I went. I think in My
brother is a dupt diplomat, so I've been to Thailand
twice because he was in station in Bangkok.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Twice.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
But Colanta, which is a small island that at least
when I went again I was in my twenties, was
not as built up as all the other islands, and
you could like kind of stay on the beach for
like eight bucks, and it was a beautiful little house
and get and that includes your dinner, and your dinner
was like just fresh fish out of the ocean. So
(36:13):
I would go and look at Colanta. Not a lot
of people go to Colanta, or at least that was
the case back then, but things changed so quickly, So
don't judge me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
That's true. Uh, Leila faken it might be Lilah. I
think it's Leela fake In wants to thumb up her
wife Jenny. After forty years of living in the United States,
she has finally become a citizen and right on time,
right on time for the.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Decline of America.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Welcome, Welcome, They were so glad to have you.
Speaker 2 (36:47):

It's a super scary time out there for the lbgt
Q I A plus people United States. Oh thanks Banana
boys for keeping us laughing. In spite of it. You

upstate New York. Thumbs up to you, mikens A thing

Speaker 2 (37:29):
Wonderful to you. Of course, we're here with them, wonderful
and fantastic. Kelsey Cook Christana Special Mark Your Territory is
out to day on Hulu and on YouTube, and her
podcast Pretend Problems with Chad Daniels Her with her co
host Chad Daniels, is available everywhere. Tell us about the podcast, Kelsey.
Speaker 5 (37:50):
Yes, my cat's tails like, actually.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
It's a delightfully furry cat.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Oh yeah, I just bring an essence of white trash.
Every podcast was just like, oh, that's crawling on me.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Was that your cat that you brought into the house?
Speaker 5 (38:05):
Yees?
Speaker 3 (38:06):
So I brought I brought the two cats, and he
brought the Golden doodle and it was chaos for about
a year.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Was everybody pissing everywhere and.
Speaker 5 (38:17):
Everybody hated everybody.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
Yeah, we would just find a corner and look over
our shoulders. I mean, my cats are a little older.
They had never met a dog before, and this is
like a fifty pound golden doodle. So the first time
they met the dog, you could just tell that, like
they thought he was a dragon.
Speaker 5 (38:34):
They were like, what in the this is it? This
is how we die?
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
But they all get along now. So pretend problems. My
podcast with Chad, we we talk about typically like if
we got into an argument that week, we like to
decide whether our arguments are pretend problems or real problems.
Most of the time just pretend problems, you know. But
(39:01):
it's been like kind of a fun, weird version of
couple's therapy for us to take something that maybe in
the moment we were genuinely annoyed with each other about,
and then you talk about it on the podcast, and
because we're both comics, like you inherently want want to
add some level of humor to it, and then we
end up laughing about it. We end up having people
(39:23):
write in and be like, oh my god, my husband
and I we just went through this, and here's.
Speaker 5 (39:28):
How we dealt with it. So we like to talk
about stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
And then we read listener emails and give advice for
couples or just you know, anybody going through anything and
just try to like help them the best we can.
And it's been great. We really love doing it.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Oh that's awesome. Also, what I think find interesting when
you talk about because a couple problems a public leap,
and how many people have the exact same shoes. It's
like a fascinated My wife and I had a podcast
for a little while that I never talked about it. It
was on Audible and I think it's it still exists,
called wedlock right after we first got married about getting married,
(40:11):
and it's really cool. You should everybody should go listen to.
It was like very highly produced, there's only six episodes,
but we would talk about problems in our relationship and
then we would immediately get like all of this influx
of people being like this is my problem.
Speaker 6 (40:24):
You know.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
It's just like, yeah, we're all the same, we're all
dumb animals.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
We're all dumb animals. We just yeah, it's helpful to
talk about it though.
Speaker 5 (40:32):
So it's not.
Speaker 3 (40:34):
You don't get so zoomed in that you make it
a bigger thing.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Feel alone, I think when you don't talk about it.
Speaker 3 (40:39):
Yeah, it's just it's like brought a lot of oxygen
to our relationship that just kind of diffuses things a
lot more quickly rather than having things build up.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Yeah, well that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Both think that part of being a stand up comedian
is being more aware or even hyper aware compared to
the average Joe Mulch and Jane Casserole. Do you think
it's about being more self aware or more hyper aware
of the world or not at all?
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Kelsey, I'll let you go first.
Speaker 3 (41:12):
I think both, But I think it also depends on.
Speaker 5 (41:15):
The type of material.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
Sure, you do, but I suppose even people who are
like just one liner comics are making a lot of
observations and pulling from stuff that they're aware of. But
I think, especially if you are more like story based,
you do have to become more aware of your day
to day and how you're feeling and what's going on,
because that's the quickest, easiest way I think to come
(41:38):
up with new material is to just be like, oh fuck, yeah,
I just had this weird interaction like why don't I
write that down? That's it's so easy for if somebody's
not a comic to just go, oh, that was weird,
and then you never think about it again.
Speaker 5 (41:50):
But we have to kind of put a pin in
it and go, there's probably something here.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
And that's what I would I would even encourage because
I can honestly find when I go, like, if i
am working on a different type of project and I'm
not like writing a whole bunch of stand up or
from like in the middle of a movie or a
TV show, and I'm not working that part of my brain,
it starts to atrophy. And then the moment I'm like
all right, I'm back in like we got to start
writing some stand up and I just start to start
(42:14):
taking little notes throughout the day. The amount of stuff
that all of a sudden like jumps out of from
life that is available to you is like fascinating, and
I think it's actually a really cool thing if you
just for people who aren't performers, who aren't stand ups. Anytime,
like some little thing that you notice or you think
or you say, like that was weird or that was funny,
(42:36):
write it down, Because I do think it actually just
gives you not only more of appreciation for life, but
more of an understanding of like yourself and of other
people as well.
Speaker 3 (42:47):
Absolutely, I think the podcast with Chad has also been
helpful for that too, because we have to look back
on our week and be like, Okay, what happened this
week that we can talk about. Yeah, and we had Yeah,
we have had a fight about. He's like a very
huge Vikings fan and gets like into that weird sports
superstition stuff he bets. It's like feels very high stakes
(43:11):
and I don't really understand what's going on, and so
I like he feels like I JINXD one of these
games you did, which to me is.
Speaker 5 (43:20):
Like such psychosis.
Speaker 3 (43:23):
I think that like me preemptively being like looks good,
it actually impacts the outcome of the game, and so
we like sincerely in the moment, he was like pretty
annoyed at me, and I was like, you have to
be kidding me that you think that I have that
sort of power to change it. And then we talked
about on the podcast and I didn't even think about
(43:45):
it again for another like three months. I just now
started to talk about it on stage, and it's become
like the thing I'm most excited to do now, and
it's been like connected. You can see a lot of
couples who clearly have dealt with the same thing. But
it's exactly what you're saying. Unless I'm like, oh, what happened?
That is sharing That could have just gone into the
abyss and I would never thought about it.
Speaker 2 (44:06):
Again, and then it's just an like that's what I
kind of like about making stand up about it, because
it could have just been an annoying conversation that happened once,
but instead it makes money evil.
Speaker 1 (44:27):
It's true. I have a few sports obsess fans, and
what I like to do is I like to see
what the score of whatever team they're cheering for, and
if they're up, if they're up by fourteen points, you know, safe,
but not too safe. I always send them a text
that says like, so, if I was friends with your
boyfriend and Vikings were leading in the fourth quarter, I
would text him there's no way the Vikings and YEA
(44:51):
like block me. Like my friend Danny was like, I
fucking hate you just for texting there's no way this
team will lose the game, and he was like, are
you serious? Right now. And I'm like, if you think
this text message from somebody who's just trolling you the
lightest way possible, And he like, he blocked me. And
(45:11):
then he's like, I unblocked you recently because I want
to ask you something. I'm like, that's fine, I.
Speaker 5 (45:16):
Need something from you.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
Yeah, I need you to read a script for me.
Speaker 3 (45:19):
Okay, well, And I feel like typically the men who
are the most superstitious can also fall into the category
of men who are very anti woo woo thing. You know,
probably don't have like a vision board or like believe
in functuy, but like the second it involves sports and money,
they're the most like crystal bitches you've ever met, like
(45:42):
that happening right now?
Speaker 5 (45:44):
They just like.
Speaker 1 (45:47):
I like that a lot, true, pretty be? Did you
have a story on that one?
Speaker 5 (45:53):
Sure?

It was written by Brian Boucher. Hey, Brian, Brian Boucher.
Speaker 1 (46:22):
Ooh, best in the bees wax.
Speaker 2 (46:26):
Best in the boosh Brian Boucher. Viral women only artwork
returns to view after Supreme Court win, one of the
most viral artworks of twenty twenty four. Well, we'll return
to its Tasmanian home, maybe in Australia following a short
period of being bathballed after losing a discrimination court case.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (46:46):
Artist Kersha Ktchelli's Ladies Lounge, which captivated audiences made headlines
all over the globe, is going back on view at
the Museum of Old and New Art in Tasmania, just
in time for the holidays. The performance in installation work
consists of a luxe parlor where men exist only to
serve the needs of women as they lounge, snack on
(47:06):
cannabase and zip champagne, all as a playful commentary on
a long history of discrimination. In the other direction, precious
artworks hang on the walls, including supposedly priceless picassos from
the artist's grandmother's collection, later de Ville later revealed as
fakes created just for the installation even better, Yes, great.
(47:28):
It was on uncontroversial view since twenty twenty At the museum,
founded by Coccelli's husband, David Walsh, she refers to herself
as the institution's first Lady until March twenty twenty four,
when one Jason Lao of New South Wales took issue and.
Speaker 6 (47:44):
Finally discrimination complaint with the local Anti discrimination commissioner at
the Tasmanian. I know it's such a what a the
smallest man.
Speaker 2 (47:55):
In the mayl went to the museum judge like that
would be a good children's book, Like the tiniest man
goes into a museum.
Speaker 1 (48:06):
Campaign.
Speaker 2 (48:08):
A judge decided against the museum and the artist. In April,
so a judge decided against the museum, which is crazy,
ruling that the lounge must admit men or close. They
appealed to the Supreme Court of Tasmania. While awaiting the
High Court's decision, Cacelli slyly exploited a clause in the
lower court's judgment that said men could reasonably be excluded
(48:30):
from a ladies restroom, temporarily moving the picassos and other
artifacts into a women's bathroom, but ultimately the Supreme Court
decided in favor of the artist in September, writing in
his judgment that the work gave women a rare glimpse
of what it is like to be advantaged. According to
press materials, entry for ladies and exclusion for men is
(48:50):
included as part of the museum entry ticket Welcome Back
Ladies Silli in a press materials through the court case
of the Ladies Lounge of transcended the Art Museum come
to life. People from Oh this is great if you
can't make it to Tasmani, but one who experience the
scent of victory, this is smart. You're in luck. Chilly
(49:11):
is also releasing a commemorative limited edition Fragrance dubbed the
Verdict with the punting tagline for the Lady who appeals.
Many men who are just dying to experience the lounge
can apply via the museum's app the oh to be
one of the servants?
Speaker 5 (49:31):
Are you guys going to be a servant?
Speaker 2 (49:33):
I mean, if we ever, we want to tour Australia
so badly, and it would be so awesome to conclude
that Tasmani is wonderful.
Speaker 1 (49:44):
Yes, I don't want to work there. I just just
leave from everybody alone. Just leave the women alone, leave
dudes alone, everybody, just leave each other alone for fucking
an hour. I mean, it's crazy that this guy had
everybody just leave each other alone. It's so easy to
leave other people alone and just to let them have
a thing. It's oh god, I Ben, It's like the
(50:05):
guy that sued Hooters so he could wait tables there.
You're like, you're a fucking idiot.
Speaker 2 (50:08):
Yeah, that whole idea of it's so easy. I've been
trying to work on a new bit, which is having
children gives you the the ability to forgive your parents,
but the unwillingness to do so, because like as when
you become a parent, you then see how very hard
(50:31):
it is, right and you can kind of have empathy
for someone who's just like, I'm just gonna walk away
from it all into the ocean. But also every time
you do something that your parent didn't do for you,
you're like, was that so hard? Was that so hard?
(50:52):
Guess what, dad? Today I didn't fuck my secretary and
it wasn't hard at all.
Speaker 1 (50:59):
How hard that, dad?
Speaker 5 (51:02):
Oh, that's so funny.
Speaker 2 (51:03):
I love that what I've already done it once, I've
only done it once. I'm gonna try it out again tonight.
Speaker 5 (51:09):
No, that's so smart. I don't have kids, but I
love it.
Speaker 3 (51:14):
Would I would imagine that will resonate with every every parent.
Speaker 1 (51:17):
Yeah, and it's a good title for an upcoming special.
Was that so hard? Is a very easy, simple.
Speaker 3 (51:24):
Hard?
Speaker 5 (51:26):
Write it down. That's a really good one.
Speaker 1 (51:29):
Speaking of bananimals, you gotta watch Kelsey special mark your territory.
It is on Hulu. That's real. It's on YouTube that's
also real. And like Lee comments, say that you heard
her on bananas and so she knows that we're not

lure humans in to rescue them and then eat them.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I mean, it's a beautiful world. We live on a
beautiful planet. And let's get into a beautiful episode of

Bana Guys, goals, non binary pals, Welcome to Bananas.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I'm Kirk Brown Older, Hi, I'm Banana Boy number two.
Thank you for listening to the silliest little podcast server was.
We understand the world is very strange right now, but
we just keep it light, keep it easy, breezy. We're
the opposite of hot takes, guys, we're cold takes. This
is the.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Old takes, all right. We'd like a nice thing of
leftovers in the fridge. When you open that up your siight,
it's just that reheated if you want, We're not going
to heat it up. We are the cold take boys.
We do not speak truth to power.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
We just wiggle between the cracks because we know your
mental health relies on it. Anyways, anyway, stand up shows,
you want to announce, well, I do.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Want to say March twenty ninth will be a stand
up live in Phoenix, Arizona Live Bananas Podcast, and then
I will be March seventh Asbury Park, New Jersey, March
eighth in Chicago at the Den Theater, and March ninth

Happening and her last stand up special on Hulu, The Hustler.
(02:15):
You can hear her on her podcast Pretend Problems, or
watch her on her brand news special Mark Your Territory
out today on Hulu and YouTube. Please welcome Kelsey Cook.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Hi, guys, thank you for having me.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
We're so glad to have you. We've wanted to have
you on for a while, but it's exciting when there
is a special coming out because that is a time
where people get revved up and you don't have to
talk about your past specials, which I know can be
a bummer sometimes too.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
This is true. This is true.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
There's an album from a long time where we're like,
I don't ever want to speak of that. Ever, No
one needs to listen to that. This one's more fun
to talk about for sure.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah, where did you record it?
Speaker 5 (02:56):
So?
Speaker 3 (02:56):
I recorded it at Comedy on State in noticin the
boest love it.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
There's actually my room.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Oh my god, best screen room. It was actually my
first time ever at that club, so it was like
a little bit of a gamble, but I had just
heard from everybody that it was their favorite club in
the country, and.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
So I was like, fuck it, let's just do it.
Rip the tits off it.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
And it just ripped the tits off.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, that's what they're say in Madison. That's a specifically
Madison expression because it's so cold there.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yes, well, I moved to Minnesota two years ago, so
now I would understand it completely. It was negative eighteen
here last week and I almost almost perished. It's it's
really insane what happens out here. I don't get why
it's even like a place that people live. I only
(03:45):
moved here because this is where my boyfriend is from.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
But other than that, it's.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Like I wish it was kind of like a spirit
Halloween where it's like, let's just be open for a
couple months, but in the summer and the rest of
the time, it's like we don't need this, we.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Switch over to a Christmas tree.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Yeah, so anyway, but yeah, but Madison was lovely, the
people there were great, and yeah, I'm really happy with
how the special turned out.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Oh that's that's a great feeling. Kurt mentioned the uh
the green room there, because you know, you're a touring comic,
you've been many places, and sometimes they put you in
basically a broom closet, Like sometimes you're really really and
sometimes the menu at those places is so bad you're like,
I'm just not going to eat for the next five hours.
(04:32):
But for some reason, they have like the greatest of
It's like a friend's TV show New York apartment with
a full table with great food with every toy.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Imagine there's a shot. It's like truly the soundstage of
the New Girl Show. It's like gorgeous and yeah, I
don't know, maybe you guys have worked there.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
I won't say the name of the club.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
There is a club, uh in California where the green
room truly is like the broom closet and it's slashed
the kitchen and I just remember seeing buckets of hot dogs,
like what you would keep gardening gloves in, but it
was the hot dogs in there. And I had family
comm and I was like, you will not eat when
you were here? Look at me, like you eat before
(05:18):
you come, do not eat? And so the comedy on
State green Room, it's like comics, see such dark shit
that you get a pop a shot machine.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
You feel like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
But whenever Scotty, So, Scotty's a you know, he's a screenwriter,
so like this is the first time that he's ever
been going and doing shows with me live on the road,
and every single time we go out and goes, I
have no fucking idea how you stand ups do it?
I have no idea. This is awful.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I mean, it's fun because it's Kurt and I and
I love Kurt and so and we're wearing our dumb
yellow outfits, and we're talking about other stuff, like we're
never worried about our live shows. It's not anxious beforehand.
We're having a good time as buddies. So I understand that.
But sometimes Kirk goes out there to run tech and
I'm just sitting on black crap leather sofas and or
a love seat, and I'm sitting there looking at all
(06:09):
the signed headshots and all the signed tour posters, and
I'm like, this is fucking terrible. I love and all
my friends are comics. Kelsey like yeah, and I empathize.
And I think that everybody that came from nowhere and
played those shows for two people. Yeah, play the bar
shows where nobody showed up, and then you get an
(06:31):
audience and then suddenly have a full club. It's incredible.
But what people don't know is the mental strain of
just sitting back there by yourself all night, I mean
twice in between shows.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
It sucks.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Yeah, yeah, you have to be broken in a really
specific way to want to do this for a living.
And I don't Kurt, if you do this, tell me.
But sometimes on the road, if it's like an especially
dark weekend, I will turn the thermost up in my
hotel room really high, so that when I come back,
I feel like I'm getting a hug from the room.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
That I love.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
That I'm just like, I need to be held by
this double tree right now because there's no bumper in
the green.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I get held by the massive amount of food I
eat afterwards, and they hugged me from the inside. Yes,
the pressure is the same. The pressure is the same.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
I completely here.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
What is the what's the new special about? What do
you what do you talk about in there? Do you
talk about moving?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
I do?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah, that's a that's a good chunk of the beginning
of the special is talking about moving to Minnesota, talking
about like, I mean, you have to really fucking love
somebody to move here, and I moved here in January,
which is just.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Like trial by fire.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
It's intense.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
It's so intense. So talking about that, talking about how.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
So my my boyfriend is Chad Daniels, who's also a comedian,
and he's older than me, and so I talk about
like our age gap. And he has adult children and
so that's he has a daughter who's about to turn
twenty one. And that's been an interesting dynamic because you know,
she'll like she followed me on Instagram when we started dating,
(08:15):
and then she saw some of my material.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
About her dad.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Like I had posted a joke from my previous special
about that Chad has a sect to me, and he's
the first guy I've ever been with the sect to me,
So I like didn't know what to expect, and like,
is this sort of like, you know, just just a
very graphic joke, and like terms of finding out what
(08:42):
what happens, like if it's just dust.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Or it's everyone.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Old pixie stick and I've quit jockeing.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Surprisingly, Surprisingly, it's more dust than it was anything else.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yeah, and for those listening at home, it's exactly the same,
nothing changes. It couldn't be more similar. You know something
a coward go get a secto.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
That is that's like the end of my joke is
saying like it's basically normal. I mean this is again
it's a little graphic, but I do say I feel
like it's like beyond Burger, where it's like it looks
the same, think it looks the same, but then once
it's in your mouth, you're like something's missing. This is
like me, this is like diet come. This is like wider.
(09:32):
This is it's different. Anyway, I had posted that joke
on Instagram, not thinking about that history now followed me,
and she let her dad know pretty swiftly that I
had been unfollowed. And uh so, anyway, I like all
that back in this special, talk about that a little bit,
(09:53):
and then uh my mom unfortunately has this like very
rare type of dementia. And and so the last oh
thank you, the last part of the special, I talk
about like going through that process with her and just trying.
It's like, it's such a heavy, hard thing to go
through and to talk about. But I wanted to find
(10:15):
a way to bring it on stage because it's been
so great now to I have people come up afterward
and be like, oh my god, my parent also has
dementia where my grandmyparent has it. Thank you for finding
it in a way to like bring some levity. So
so yeah, I talked about it there.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
That is so such a like my last special, I
talked about my mom dying of cancer, and that was
like the last story I don't know twenty minutes of it.
Thank you okay, And it is such a did you
Because I wrestled with the piece as a piece for
like I don't know, like a two years to find
the right thing to end it with, and it took
(10:54):
me until we were like getting ready to shoot oh,
to be actually find the exact actual words that got
the response that I wanted to so that it like
ended really high to how long did you have to
try and find that ending or was it already kind
of there?
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I you know, I guess I didn't find it because
I ended up closing on a different joke that wasn't
about her, but the dementia stuff kind of like led
into that. But I'm I'm now in that place with
this new hour that I'm working on on tour where
I'm talking about it a little bit again and I
maybe you.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Guys can help me.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
I'm trying to find the way to talk about how
she doesn't always recognize me anymore.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Now sure, Yeah, I've had that, and how.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
That like I know when she doesn't recognize me because
she talks to me like a guy with commitment issues,
Like I'll be like, Okay, I love you, and she's
like that's nice.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
But it's so funny.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
I oh thanks.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I Also I just feel like it shows you how
sweet of a human she is because like if you
think about what's really going on internally for her, so
few people would react like that if they actually thought
of strange like this, just strange girl came into your
bedroom and like hung out with you for eight hours
and then.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
The end was like I love you, you'd be like can
you get the fuck out of you? Like people would
freak out and call the cops, and my mom's just like, Okay,
that's nice. So I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Again, it's it's very dark and I'm trying. It's like
get in a lot, but it's not like a closing laugh,
you know.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Yeah, I've been dating her long enough. If you got
a date at least six months before you say I
love you. My grandmother had to mention also, And the
last time I saw her, she was she was like Michael,
and I was like, yes, I just rolled with it
so hard, and she was talking out a time when
I was a little kid and I had the blondest
hair and a great Dane was licking my hair and
(12:52):
it was so funny, and so I just was like
that was the best. Oh my god, I remember that
so much that I left and then I asked my dad.
I was like who's Michael. He's like, there's no Michaels.
I was like, who had a Great Dane growing up?
And he's like, I can't remember ever having a great
Dane anybody extended family. But our interaction for thirty five minutes,
she's just tears and her eyes laughing about somebody that
(13:13):
looked like a miniature version of me in the eighties.
I guess, just getting licked on the head by a
great Dane and it drove her wild.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I like that your impulse was to like just yes,
and it because of apparently like that is a good
thing to do, because it doesn't upset them, you know,
like it allows them to just like and then sometimes
through the telling of it, they'll be able to be like, wait,
that wasn't you know, Like it comes in to focus
but correcting, and you can often upset them. I guess, yeah, totally.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Yeah, which if you put yourself in that position, like
it would be upsetting too to have somebody like that
didn't happen, and you're like, I for sure no, Like
of course in the moment, they feel like this is
absolutely true.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
So that is something I had to get used to. Also.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
In the beginning, it was just like, oh, it's actually
less harmful to just go with this then to keep
trying to correct and it's like it's a weird thing
to navigate for sure.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Yeah. You know.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
My first impulse, of course, on that joke is at
the end of the show, getting my impulses to go
to the audience with it and say, like, somehow led
it up to the fact that you ask them to
tell you as as a group that I love you,
and then after they say I love you, just go, oh,
well that's nice, and then.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Oh, my god, that would be great.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Do you want to hear about this crocodile?
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yes, oh yeah, we have that. Okay, So this is
from the Economic Times. A lot of people sent this
in when I settled alarm. Every morning, I say what
does the Economic Times have to say about this issue?
And turns out they say a lot. This is not
(15:02):
written by anyone, because the Economic Times, I'm not sure
is a real newspaper. No, here it is. A new
video making waves online suggest that crocodiles may be using
a clever trick to capture prey. The clip, narrated with
a British accent, picks a crocodile appearing to fake drownding
in order to attract unsuspecting humans into the water. While
(15:24):
at first glance, this idea may seem far fetch the
possibility of this behavior as captured attention. Could crocodiles be
smart enough to lure tourist into their jaws The crocodile
drowning trap in the video of the narrator humans really
just I mean, like this is just a fucking This
is a newspaper article about a viral video in sight
(15:46):
of what seems like a human like figure. So it's
essentially they just they put they go upside down, so
their little stumpy hand is just one's hand is sticking
out of the water and then they just wave it
back and forth like they're drowning, and then slowly get
like it looks exactly like they have five fingers, and
from afar it looks like like a child's hand or
(16:08):
something like that. You would if you like looked at
it and saw it like jump in. So basically this
is a very long article. Okay, So while this idea
of fake drowning is speculative, crocodiles are known to use
other clever tactics to capture prey. For instance, some crocodiles
have been observed placing sticks on their heads to attract birds,
(16:29):
birds which then become their meal. That's interesting. That's kind
of like trying to catch like quarters from your elbow,
you know, to try a bird who's on your head.
New research has also shown that allegais and crocodiles can
use small sticks to lure birds. Well, they just repeated themselves. Okay,
it happens times economic times. No, I mean, they have
(16:56):
been around since the time of dinosaurs, so they've figured
out how to eat a little bit. But yeah, but anyway,
that's what they're doing in Indonesia right now. That's what's
in with the crocodiles.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Now have we heard of this happening anywhere else they
have any other crocodiles?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
You know, the economic times, I'm gonna tell you they
shit on it a little bit. They're like, I don't
know if this is real. Yeah, I think a lot
of the other articles I could have chosen from where
they investigated it with a little more scientific rigor about
whether or not this could be true. Yea, I've never
been to Indonesia, but I went to I went to Cambodia,
(17:34):
when I was in my twenties, my early twenties, it
was it was real. It's like it's a fascinating like
the there's thousands, there's thousands, like those hundreds. There's so
many people there and none of them are American. It's
crazy walking around.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
That's fucking crazy, you guys.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
But the structures and all of the temples that are
in the jungle there that you can go and it's
all the National Park, you know, you can go to.
It's like mind breaking how many hundreds of them there are,
and they're gantic. But I was in my twenties. So
we did that one day, and then the next day
I was like, I'm gonna buy weed. I was like
(18:19):
twenty three. Of course, somebody like Cambodia. So I go
and I find a guy and i'd like read in
a book of how to buy weed in Cambodia, because
this was before the Internet, or I guess the internet
just started. And I find a guy and he's on
a moped and we go. I get on his moped
and he like drives me around a corner, very safe environment,
(18:42):
and then he like gets out and he gives me.
I give him money, he gives me like, I don't know,
it looks like a collection of tiny sticks, and I'm
like all right, and I like, go back. And then
I look at it and it doesn't smell like weed.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
It doesn't look like weed.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
It's just like something, you know. Yeah, but of course
I'm down to try.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
And I didn't throw that in the trash.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I did not throw that into the trash, and so
we're good. There's a big issue with and so I
tried smoking it that night and nothing happened. I was like,
this is probably bunk, but it didn't stop me from
doing it again the next day, being like, maybe it's
the second time. I'll try to if I just believe.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
Yeah, I believe in myself.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
And Cambodia has a huge problem in the fact that
the camer Rouge buried all of these mines that had
been detected, and Americans buried mines during the Vietnam War, right,
so both sides were burying mines and like, I don't know,
ten percent of them at that time had been discovered,
and they would take people's legs off and arms off
(19:49):
all the time. So they had a real problem with
blood supply. And Cambodia and we're like learning all about this,
and I'm like, I'm going to give blood, you know.
And so I go into a clinic to give blood.
And my girlfriend at the time we'd been dating since
college college girlfriend, and she like was doing something else
(20:09):
and then I was like, oh, I'm gonna go do this,
and then she was like what And then she sat
down and I went in and then I'm there and
I had smoked the weed before I went and was
sitting down and like they literally put the and this
is like a clinic. It's just like a room. There's
no there's like one plastic chair that I'm sitting in.
(20:32):
It's in the middle of the jungle, you know. Yeah,
and so I get it. But everything looked pretty like,
you know, from a twenty three year old's perspective, like, well,
it looks pretty gleed. And so they put the needle
in and I start giving blood, and you know, you
have to wait there for quite some time for all
the blood to come out, you know, and then my girlfriend,
who had been sitting in the waiting room just had
(20:54):
it like I don't know what happened, but she bursts
in and she's just like crying and she's like don't
do it. And I was just like, I'm already doing it.
And then and then I was like, it's okay, don't worry,
I'll beat you out. And then she was scrying. She left,
and then right then this the weed like took that
(21:16):
moment to come out in the weirdest way where I
just got incredibly paranoid. So that, oh, like the forty
five minutes that I had to give blood in this
like one room on a plastic chair, I was.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Just like, did I just kill my son?
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Oh my?
Speaker 2 (21:37):
And guess what, guys, I did it. And it was
totally fun. There you are and you should not be worried.
I was right in my brashness of a twenty three
year old. Just give blood when you're in Cambodia, give blood. Okay,
good for you, I know.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
And if you want to get blood, we've gamified it.
You can join the Bana Animals. We are currently ranked
two hundred and eighty seventh out of sixty nine eight
hundred teams ban Animals.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
We're now thirty seventh.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
We are to eighty seven.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
That's up from seven to thirty two thousand. We were
seven thirty two last episode.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Yeah, we're we're getting way better. We're pumping out units.
But we are currently between Drexel University, who can suck
our butts, and Starbucks, who could really suck our butts.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Starbucks above us, are below us.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
It is one above us. They're to eighty six, Drexels
to eighty eight. So ban animals feel free. You get
the app, you go to the American Red Cross Blood,
don't wrapp join the ban animals and start pumping out blood.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
All right, let's beat.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Let's beat star Verb.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Not on drugs and sitting on a plastic chair in
the woods or whatever. That would be so good.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Also, I don't know if you can even give blood
when you're high. I mean, like, is that even allowed?
Does it affect your blood? I have no idea. Did
I give them tainted blood? It's like, oh man, there's
a lot of sticks smoking here because it just sticks.
I was smoking.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Sticks were just a law around people's stress. I love it.

This was on BBC dot Com, written by Tessa Wong.
Tessa Wong is good at this shit. She is the
best in the business. Bride's fury after Instagram's stunt wedding
(23:28):
turned out to be a real one that sounds fun.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
I don't even understand it.
Speaker 5 (23:33):
I mean please okay, and I hate it.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
A woman in Australia has annulled her marriage after realizing
that a fake wedding ceremony she took part in for
social media stunt was in fact a real wedding. What
the unknowing bride said Her partner was a social media influencer.
Always a great choice, always a.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
Good choice, absolutely good people.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
What did go wrong? What you want to do is
document your relationship and your private life as much as
possible and just put it out there so when that
breakup comes you look like an idiot. The unknowing bride
said that her partner was social media influencer who convinced
her to take partner ceremony as a prank for his
Instagram account. She only recently discovered the marriage was genuine
(24:15):
and when when he tried to use it to gain
permanent residency in Australia. What we had a motive. So
not only did he lie, he like really lied.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
How much?
Speaker 5 (24:29):
How many motherfucker.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
What how many actual followers does he have? Let's see
what's his what's his let me.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
See what his handle is, because I don't even know
if they mentioned You might have to just google it
on Google dot com, Kurt, I'll use Google dot cot.
It's a website just being Google, and then click on
Google link and then there's a search bar and then
you put in Instagram's stunt wedding turns out to be
real one. Okay, okay. The bizarre case began in September
(24:59):
twenty two three, when the woman met her partner on
an online dating platform. They began seeing each other regularly
in Melbourne, where they lived at the time, in December
that year. So I'm running the numbers over here.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Four months later, four months later, okay, and so they
were actually dating.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
They were dating, Okay, okay. In December that year, the
woman proposed to the woman. She accepted. It might be
a little quick, you know. Two days later, the woman
attended an event with the man in Sydney. She was
told it would be a white party where attendees would
wear white colored clothing and was told to pack a
white dress, but when she arrived, she was shocked and furious.
(25:38):
She was finally she was pranked to find no other
guest president except her partner, photographer, the photographer's friend, and
a celebrant. According to her deposition that's been quoted in
court documents. So when I got there, I didn't see
anybody in white. I asked him what's happening, and he
pulled me aside and he told me that he's organizing
(25:58):
a prank wedding for social media, to be precise, his Instagram,
because he wants to boost his content and wants to
start monetizing his Instagram page.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Okay, so he's not monetizing this is this is his
plan not only to make money, but also become an
Australian citizen. He really thought he had it all, he
had all wrapped up wild.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Yeah, this is a creepy dude, And like, you know,
we don't know these people. But that seems like the
point where that woman should have said, I think we
should break up. It's only been four months. Talking about
is insane. But what do I know? Maybe he's a
great genre who I don't know, she said. She had
(26:43):
accepted his explanation as he was a social media person
who had more than seventeen thousand followers on Instagram.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
Oh that's it.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Oh man, that's nothing.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yeah, that's impressive in two thousand and six maybe, but's
twenty five seventeen thousand. There's totstools online that have more
followers than that.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Okay, influencer is being used very loosely here, there's what
are we influencing?
Speaker 1 (27:14):
That's right. Next time I have to give a speech
and I don't even have an Instagram outside the Banana's account,
I'm gonna be like, I'm Scotty Landis I'm a micro influencer. Yes,
I have less than fifteen thousand followers.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
That's what. Actually, my friend, our friends opened a bread
shop in La called Breadhead. It's in Venice.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Should go, it's so much great name.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Breadhead's a good name.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Shout out Michael.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
But he was saying. He was saying, he's like, the
thing is that's hard about starting is like you get
contact by all these micro influencers. And I was like,
what are micro influencers? He's like, there're people with no
followers who want free food.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Oh my, yeah, it's such an oxymoron micro influence.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
It's like the word influencer is.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Based on that you have a lot of followers, can
be small.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
I have a micro actually have a micro influence over
two small children that live in my house, and so
they will be really into it if I tell them too.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Yeah, they eat for free all the time. Okay. So
she also believed that a civil marriage would only be
valid if it had been held in a courthouse. Still,
she remained concerned. The woman rang a friend and voiced
her worries, but the friend laughed it off and said
it would be fine because if it were real, they
would have had to file a notice of intending marriage first.
(28:33):
Didn't know that educational podcast, which they had not done, reassured.
The woman went through the ceremony where she and her
partner exchange wedding vows and kissed in front of a camera.
She said she was happy to play a long and
make it seem real. Two months later, her partner asked
her to add him both as a dependent on her
application for permanent residency in Australia. Both of them are foreigners.
(28:56):
When she told him that she could not as they
were technically not married, he then revealed that their sitting
wedding Sydney wedding ceremony had been genuine according to the
woman's testimony.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
But I don't understand, like I know how it works
in America, maybe it's a little different in Australia. You
have to sign a paper, you have to sign a
paper to say you're you're married. Did she I mean,
like when she was signing that paper.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
She did not sign it? So great segue CURTI. Okay,
here's the next paragraph. The woman found their marriage certificate
and discovered a notice of intended marriage which had not
been filed the month before their Sydney trip, before they
even got engaged, which she said she did not sign.
According to the court documents, the signature on the notice
bears little resemblance to the woman.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
So no, he.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Ew, which makes me.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Think of that movie Catch Me if you Can, which
also I've found out recently even that story's fake. Like
that guy, yeah, no, whole thing.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
So his greatest scam is he actually convinced people to
believe that story of him being a scam fake check
writer is fake. So the movie is based on the
fake book of a fake story.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Which is actually pretty great.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Amazing.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, like he never worked for the FBI.
But also that movie is like a perfectly made movie.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
I watch that.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
I enjoy that movie.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Steve Spielberg, Leo Decapp, T Hanks, How are those three
going to f it up? But it is funny because
like that era of writing bad checks, just forging. All
you have to do is have a convincing signature. It's
just so crazy. I know everybody wasn't doing it. I
would have done. Everybody's just constantly writing fake checks. It
(30:41):
seems like a very easy crime to get away with.
And then you just leave town.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Yeah, and then they don't have any way of finding
you if you simply leave the town.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
What a time to be alive when this time God's
so good anonymous everything.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
The woman said, I am furious with the fact that
I didn't know that this was a real marriage, and
the fact that he also lied to me from the beginning,
and the fact he also wanted me to add him
to my application, she said. In his deposition, the man
claimed they had both agreed to these circumstances, and at
following the proposal, the woman had agreed to marry him
at an intimate ceremony in Sydney, four people. The judge
(31:24):
ruled that the woman was mistaken about the nature of
the ceremony performed, it did not provide real consent or
participation to the marriage, and he stated in the judgment
that the marriage could be annulled. And it was October
twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Yay.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Crazy though, So I'm so confused because they were engaged.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Correct, I think so? Yeah, they were engaged.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
So it's like, why all the smoke and mirror, Like,
why not just be like, how would you feel about
a quick wedding?
Speaker 5 (31:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
I feel like this lady if she was willing to
say yes to get in engaged within four months, she
probably would have put up too much of a fight
on like hobving a wedding shortly after. But when you're
fucking dupener, then everybody's like, well, what the hell is this?
Let me invite my family for Christ's sake, Like you
know what I mean, don't.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Do better prank if the whole family shows up too,
by the way, yeah, you're gonna get more likes if
the family's there and it's a fake wedding. Yeah, I
don't know, don't do.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
It is it's also just such a like, I don't know,
it's such a weird, such a dude way of doing it.
It's just like, I'm not going to just talk about it.
I'm going to create a ruse, and my ruse will
be successful because I'll control it.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I smell personality disorder. I mean, there's something obviously deeply
wrong with this. This is insane behavior. This is like
baby reindeer shit, you know what I mean, Like, something's
weird here.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Yeah, I've been watching that HBO Max show, An Update
on Our Family. I think it's called, Yeah, an Update
on Our Family. It's like a documentary about a family
that are life vloggers or whatever. And then they're going
to adopt a kid from China, and then they do,
and then things go sideways and it is peak hate love.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
They give back, they give their baby back spoilers. Oh yeah,
they adopt a baby and they're like, we're adopting an
autistic baby from China, and they make a whole big
deal about it. And then after one year they're like,
and we're and then all of a sudden, the baby
just is no longer in their social It's.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
So oh my god, and after a yeah, yeah, yeah,
every part of it.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
It's pretty fascinating. It's pretty. But then I'm somebody, so
I'm watching content about people who watch content, about people
who make content, and so I'm no better. I'm it's
just like two mirrors on. It's like a Mormon wedding.
I'm just going into infinity.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
I'm watching. I'm actually watching this documentary called Scotty watches
this documentary and it's just a camera that I've set up.
It's got he's living room. While he watches that.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Documentary, we're getting really close to KURTI b teas us
into some thumbs ups.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
I got that.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Let's see.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Oh, this is an update on the ladies Lounge. Do
you remember the Lady's Lounge?
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Scottie, tell me about that lady's lounge.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
This was a lady's lounge in Tasmania where it is
it was, Yeah, so women women's only club. It was
part of an art exhibit art exhibit, and then a
guy sued them because he's like, that's discrimination, and so
then they moved the exhibit into the ladies room. Uh,
(34:41):
and to like to fuck with him. But now they've
won their Supreme Court case in Australia. So now the
Lady's Lounge is back and it's an update on she
made it even better and better than ever.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Yeah, that is I can't wait some thumbs ups. So
here's some thumbs up from our bananimal. Sam's is thumbing
up her sister Lee or Leah. I think it's Leah
introduced Sam's to bananas. It's so fun. They chat about
the silliness that we bring into their lives. Sam's and
Leah thumbs up. And if it's Lee, I'm so sorry.
(35:14):
Tot's h dash G is thumbing up her husband, Griffin.
They got married on November fifteenth, and Griffin is planning
their entire honeymoon to Thailand. Any suggestions, Kelsey, have you
ever been to Thailand?
Speaker 3 (35:28):
I have not been to Thailand. I do just hope
that this wedding was consensual. After this last story, I'm
a little nervous for everybody now.
Speaker 5 (35:35):
But no, I've never been to Thailand.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
I do have a recommendation. I really liked the island
this and of course I went. I think in My
brother is a dupt diplomat, so I've been to Thailand
twice because he was in station in Bangkok.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Twice.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
But Colanta, which is a small island that at least
when I went again I was in my twenties, was
not as built up as all the other islands, and
you could like kind of stay on the beach for
like eight bucks, and it was a beautiful little house
and get and that includes your dinner, and your dinner
was like just fresh fish out of the ocean. So
(36:13):
I would go and look at Colanta. Not a lot
of people go to Colanta, or at least that was
the case back then, but things changed so quickly, So
don't judge me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
That's true. Uh, Leila faken it might be Lilah. I
think it's Leela fake In wants to thumb up her
wife Jenny. After forty years of living in the United States,
she has finally become a citizen and right on time,
right on time for the.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Decline of America.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
Wonderful to you. Of course, we're here with them, wonderful
and fantastic. Kelsey Cook Christana Special Mark Your Territory is
out to day on Hulu and on YouTube, and her
podcast Pretend Problems with Chad Daniels Her with her co
host Chad Daniels, is available everywhere. Tell us about the podcast, Kelsey.
Speaker 5 (37:50):
Yes, my cat's tails like, actually.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
It's a delightfully furry cat.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Oh yeah, I just bring an essence of white trash.
Every podcast was just like, oh, that's crawling on me.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Was that your cat that you brought into the house?
Speaker 5 (38:05):
Yees?
Speaker 3 (38:06):
So I brought I brought the two cats, and he
brought the Golden doodle and it was chaos for about
a year.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Was everybody pissing everywhere and.
Speaker 5 (38:17):
Everybody hated everybody.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
Yeah, we would just find a corner and look over
our shoulders. I mean, my cats are a little older.
They had never met a dog before, and this is
like a fifty pound golden doodle. So the first time
they met the dog, you could just tell that, like
they thought he was a dragon.
Speaker 5 (38:34):
They were like, what in the this is it? This
is how we die?
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
But they all get along now. So pretend problems. My
podcast with Chad, we we talk about typically like if
we got into an argument that week, we like to
decide whether our arguments are pretend problems or real problems.
Most of the time just pretend problems, you know. But
(39:01):
it's been like kind of a fun, weird version of
couple's therapy for us to take something that maybe in
the moment we were genuinely annoyed with each other about,
and then you talk about it on the podcast, and
because we're both comics, like you inherently want want to
add some level of humor to it, and then we
end up laughing about it. We end up having people
(39:23):
write in and be like, oh my god, my husband
and I we just went through this, and here's.
Speaker 5 (39:28):
How we dealt with it. So we like to talk
about stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
And then we read listener emails and give advice for
couples or just you know, anybody going through anything and
just try to like help them the best we can.
And it's been great. We really love doing it.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Oh that's awesome. Also, what I think find interesting when
you talk about because a couple problems a public leap,
and how many people have the exact same shoes. It's
like a fascinated My wife and I had a podcast
for a little while that I never talked about it. It
was on Audible and I think it's it still exists,
called wedlock right after we first got married about getting married,
(40:11):
and it's really cool. You should everybody should go listen to.
It was like very highly produced, there's only six episodes,
but we would talk about problems in our relationship and
then we would immediately get like all of this influx
of people being like this is my problem.
Speaker 6 (40:24):
You know.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
It's just like, yeah, we're all the same, we're all
dumb animals.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
We're all dumb animals. We just yeah, it's helpful to
talk about it though.
Speaker 5 (40:32):
So it's not.
Speaker 3 (40:34):
You don't get so zoomed in that you make it
a bigger thing.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Feel alone, I think when you don't talk about it.
Speaker 3 (40:39):
Yeah, it's just it's like brought a lot of oxygen
to our relationship that just kind of diffuses things a
lot more quickly rather than having things build up.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Yeah, well that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Both think that part of being a stand up comedian
is being more aware or even hyper aware compared to
the average Joe Mulch and Jane Casserole. Do you think
it's about being more self aware or more hyper aware
of the world or not at all?
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Kelsey, I'll let you go first.
Speaker 3 (41:12):
I think both, But I think it also depends on.
Speaker 5 (41:15):
The type of material.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
Sure, you do, but I suppose even people who are
like just one liner comics are making a lot of
observations and pulling from stuff that they're aware of. But
I think, especially if you are more like story based,
you do have to become more aware of your day
to day and how you're feeling and what's going on,
because that's the quickest, easiest way I think to come
(41:38):
up with new material is to just be like, oh fuck, yeah,
I just had this weird interaction like why don't I
write that down? That's it's so easy for if somebody's
not a comic to just go, oh, that was weird,
and then you never think about it again.
Speaker 5 (41:50):
But we have to kind of put a pin in
it and go, there's probably something here.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
And that's what I would I would even encourage because
I can honestly find when I go, like, if i
am working on a different type of project and I'm
not like writing a whole bunch of stand up or
from like in the middle of a movie or a
TV show, and I'm not working that part of my brain,
it starts to atrophy. And then the moment I'm like
all right, I'm back in like we got to start
writing some stand up and I just start to start
(42:14):
taking little notes throughout the day. The amount of stuff
that all of a sudden like jumps out of from
life that is available to you is like fascinating, and
I think it's actually a really cool thing if you
just for people who aren't performers, who aren't stand ups. Anytime,
like some little thing that you notice or you think
or you say, like that was weird or that was funny,
(42:36):
write it down, Because I do think it actually just
gives you not only more of appreciation for life, but
more of an understanding of like yourself and of other
people as well.
Speaker 3 (42:47):
Absolutely, I think the podcast with Chad has also been
helpful for that too, because we have to look back
on our week and be like, Okay, what happened this
week that we can talk about. Yeah, and we had Yeah,
we have had a fight about. He's like a very
huge Vikings fan and gets like into that weird sports
superstition stuff he bets. It's like feels very high stakes
(43:11):
and I don't really understand what's going on, and so
I like he feels like I JINXD one of these
games you did, which to me is.
Speaker 5 (43:20):
Like such psychosis.
Speaker 3 (43:23):
I think that like me preemptively being like looks good,
it actually impacts the outcome of the game, and so
we like sincerely in the moment, he was like pretty
annoyed at me, and I was like, you have to
be kidding me that you think that I have that
sort of power to change it. And then we talked
about on the podcast and I didn't even think about
(43:45):
it again for another like three months. I just now
started to talk about it on stage, and it's become
like the thing I'm most excited to do now, and
it's been like connected. You can see a lot of
couples who clearly have dealt with the same thing. But
it's exactly what you're saying. Unless I'm like, oh, what happened?
That is sharing That could have just gone into the
abyss and I would never thought about it.
Speaker 2 (44:06):
Again, and then it's just an like that's what I
kind of like about making stand up about it, because
it could have just been an annoying conversation that happened once,
but instead it makes money evil.
Speaker 1 (44:27):
It's true. I have a few sports obsess fans, and
what I like to do is I like to see
what the score of whatever team they're cheering for, and
if they're up, if they're up by fourteen points, you know, safe,
but not too safe. I always send them a text
that says like, so, if I was friends with your
boyfriend and Vikings were leading in the fourth quarter, I
would text him there's no way the Vikings and YEA
(44:51):
like block me. Like my friend Danny was like, I
fucking hate you just for texting there's no way this
team will lose the game, and he was like, are
you serious? Right now. And I'm like, if you think
this text message from somebody who's just trolling you the
lightest way possible, And he like, he blocked me. And
(45:11):
then he's like, I unblocked you recently because I want
to ask you something. I'm like, that's fine, I.
Speaker 5 (45:16):
Need something from you.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
Yeah, I need you to read a script for me.
Speaker 3 (45:19):
Okay, well, And I feel like typically the men who
are the most superstitious can also fall into the category
of men who are very anti woo woo thing. You know,
probably don't have like a vision board or like believe
in functuy, but like the second it involves sports and money,
they're the most like crystal bitches you've ever met, like
(45:42):
that happening right now?
Speaker 5 (45:44):
They just like.
Speaker 1 (45:47):
I like that a lot, true, pretty be? Did you
have a story on that one?
Speaker 5 (45:53):

Speaker 2 (46:12):
This was on artnet.
Speaker 1 (46:14):
You this before I think so that's a real website.
Speaker 2 (46:17):
It was written by Brian Boucher. Hey, Brian, Brian Boucher.
Speaker 1 (46:22):
Ooh, best in the bees wax.
Speaker 2 (46:26):
Best in the boosh Brian Boucher. Viral women only artwork
returns to view after Supreme Court win, one of the
most viral artworks of twenty twenty four. Well, we'll return
to its Tasmanian home, maybe in Australia following a short
period of being bathballed after losing a discrimination court case.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (46:46):
Artist Kersha Ktchelli's Ladies Lounge, which captivated audiences made headlines
all over the globe, is going back on view at
the Museum of Old and New Art in Tasmania, just
in time for the holidays. The performance in installation work
consists of a luxe parlor where men exist only to
serve the needs of women as they lounge, snack on
(47:06):
cannabase and zip champagne, all as a playful commentary on
a long history of discrimination. In the other direction, precious
artworks hang on the walls, including supposedly priceless picassos from
the artist's grandmother's collection, later de Ville later revealed as
fakes created just for the installation even better, Yes, great.
(47:28):
It was on uncontroversial view since twenty twenty At the museum,
founded by Coccelli's husband, David Walsh, she refers to herself
as the institution's first Lady until March twenty twenty four,
when one Jason Lao of New South Wales took issue and.
Speaker 6 (47:44):
Finally discrimination complaint with the local Anti discrimination commissioner at
the Tasmanian. I know it's such a what a the
smallest man.
Speaker 2 (47:55):
In the mayl went to the museum judge like that
would be a good children's book, Like the tiniest man
goes into a museum.
Speaker 1 (48:06):
Campaign.
Speaker 2 (48:08):
A judge decided against the museum and the artist. In April,
so a judge decided against the museum, which is crazy,
ruling that the lounge must admit men or close. They
appealed to the Supreme Court of Tasmania. While awaiting the
High Court's decision, Cacelli slyly exploited a clause in the
lower court's judgment that said men could reasonably be excluded
(48:30):
from a ladies restroom, temporarily moving the picassos and other
artifacts into a women's bathroom, but ultimately the Supreme Court
decided in favor of the artist in September, writing in
his judgment that the work gave women a rare glimpse
of what it is like to be advantaged. According to
press materials, entry for ladies and exclusion for men is
(48:50):
included as part of the museum entry ticket Welcome Back
Ladies Silli in a press materials through the court case
of the Ladies Lounge of transcended the Art Museum come
to life. People from Oh this is great if you
can't make it to Tasmani, but one who experience the
scent of victory, this is smart. You're in luck. Chilly
(49:11):
is also releasing a commemorative limited edition Fragrance dubbed the
Verdict with the punting tagline for the Lady who appeals.
Many men who are just dying to experience the lounge
can apply via the museum's app the oh to be
one of the servants?
Speaker 5 (49:31):
Are you guys going to be a servant?
Speaker 2 (49:33):
I mean, if we ever, we want to tour Australia
so badly, and it would be so awesome to conclude
that Tasmani is wonderful.
Speaker 1 (49:44):
Yes, I don't want to work there. I just just
leave from everybody alone. Just leave the women alone, leave
dudes alone, everybody, just leave each other alone for fucking
an hour. I mean, it's crazy that this guy had
everybody just leave each other alone. It's so easy to
leave other people alone and just to let them have
a thing. It's oh god, I Ben, It's like the
(50:05):
guy that sued Hooters so he could wait tables there.
You're like, you're a fucking idiot.
Speaker 2 (50:08):
Yeah, that whole idea of it's so easy. I've been
trying to work on a new bit, which is having
children gives you the the ability to forgive your parents,
but the unwillingness to do so, because like as when
you become a parent, you then see how very hard
(50:31):
it is, right and you can kind of have empathy
for someone who's just like, I'm just gonna walk away
from it all into the ocean. But also every time
you do something that your parent didn't do for you,
you're like, was that so hard? Was that so hard?
(50:52):
Guess what, dad? Today I didn't fuck my secretary and
it wasn't hard at all.
Speaker 1 (50:59):
How hard that, dad?
Speaker 5 (51:02):
Oh, that's so funny.
Speaker 2 (51:03):
I love that what I've already done it once, I've
only done it once. I'm gonna try it out again tonight.
Speaker 5 (51:09):
No, that's so smart. I don't have kids, but I
love it.
Speaker 3 (51:14):
Would I would imagine that will resonate with every every parent.
Speaker 1 (51:17):
Yeah, and it's a good title for an upcoming special.
Was that so hard? Is a very easy, simple.
Speaker 3 (51:24):
Hard?
Speaker 5 (51:26):
Write it down. That's a really good one.
Speaker 1 (51:29):
