00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Live from the historic Little Market District of downtown Kansas City, Missouri,

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,000
from the banks of the beautiful Crystal Blue Waters of the Missouri River,

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,000
it is the Moosh Bags and Microphone Podcast.

4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,000
Help! Help! Help! Help!

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Oh Lord, that man just sawed a puppy in half!

6
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,000
Hey there, don't worry, I have a clown nose.

7
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Oh no! That drunk guy just hit my child!

8
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
It's okay, I have a clown nose.

9
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Clown nose! Just put one on and you can do anything!

10
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Wanna run for office? Murder people in public?

11
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Just grab a clown nose and BAM! Everyone laughs!

12
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Clown noses are sold at gag stores online and pedophile conventions.

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Grab one today and make magic happen!

14
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Two douchebags and a microphone, the number one show for people that lie about their favorite podcast.

15
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Our constant pursuit for a real knee-slapper.

16
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,000
It's strange insults from an alien. Real hilarity.

17
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,000
May, your five-year-old neighbor have all their violin lessons.

18
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Durn all of your hangovers.

19
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Be ready at 1044. Okay, whenever you're ready, I'm ready.

20
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Alrighty.

21
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:32,000
I just went ahead and cranked it up here. I'm gonna shorten out the scale a little bit.

22
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Alright, so it looks like we're ready to go.

23
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Okay, two douchebags and a microphone.

24
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000
We are at the Filthy Bean in Nashville, partner.

25
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Yes, and we made the trip down here. It's a lovely day in Nashville.

26
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,000
Our table seems to rock a little bit. Can you hear this?

27
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,000
It does, doesn't it?

28
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,000
Yeah, we're gonna have to stick something under one of the table legs.

29
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,000
This just means that we're just going to have to annoy people.

30
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Yeah.

31
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,000
We could put something under here.

32
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,000
If somebody's in our booth, we didn't want to kick them out.

33
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Yeah.

34
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000
We're nice that way.

35
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:11,000
It's like, you know what? If they weren't looking at a horrible plaque, we didn't even get on them.

36
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,000
No.

37
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Well, I guess it's not technically our booth.

38
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Technically, I guess it's not.

39
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Alright, well whatever.

40
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,000
You want to start with something funny?

41
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Yeah, yeah.

42
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Remember in a recent podcast, I told you how NPR was upset with Twitter because they were labeled as state-affiliated radio,

43
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000
which they are because they take money from the government.

44
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:44,000
And also, like you said, the reactions of them when you don't call them out, not like I'm a huge U.N. fan.

45
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Yeah.

46
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:52,000
When they called him out, their reaction would tell me like they have something to hide.

47
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Yeah, yeah.

48
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,000
And I mean, it's been their secret anyhow.

49
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:02,000
I mean, they're paid by the government to come up with these fucking shows and they're putting it in there.

50
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Yeah, but in the course of their argument with Elon Musk over their Twitter label, NPR let it slip that they only take less than 1%

51
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,000
of their overall funding is from the government.

52
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000
I'd like to see what they count as funding.

53
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:25,000
All their pledge drives and corporate donations and all that kind of stuff.

54
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,000
So they were telling Twitter, we're not state-affiliated.

55
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,000
We get less than 1% of our money from the government.

56
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:39,000
And then the reaction of the public was, then why do you complain so much when Congress talks about taking away your funding?

57
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,000
You say, oh, it would cripple us.

58
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,000
It would run us out of business.

59
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000
We couldn't serve. Really?

60
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Because you just told us it was less than 1%.

61
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:52,000
It's funny how it changes depending on how they want to use it.

62
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Oh, you're going to take our money away?

63
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Oh, it's so important.

64
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,000
It's vital.

65
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Oh, you're calling a state-affiliated?

66
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000
That money means nothing to us.

67
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,000
Yeah, 1%.

68
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:08,000
If I would say that it was 1%, I'd tell the government, no, we don't need money because we're not the ones who put up with those half-batches.

69
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Yeah, but NPR, they said, no, instead we're going to suspend all 52 of our NPR Twitter accounts, the ones that end with an at NPR.

70
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000
And again, stupid.

71
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Yeah, and Elon Musk's response was basically, OK.

72
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,000
So is there anything else now? OK, there's a door.

73
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Yep.

74
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Well, here's the recent funny development.

75
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:49,000
Elon Musk contacted NPR and said, so are you guys going to go back to using your Twitter account or can I go ahead and assign the at NPR to another business if they want to?

76
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:59,000
NPR's reaction was to basically fall down and hold their head and scream, ow, you hurt me, you hurt me.

77
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:05,000
They immediately lashed out and said Elon Musk was threatening them.

78
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,000
Threatening them?

79
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,000
I don't think I was threatening them.

80
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,000
I saw no threat in there.

81
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:16,000
And then they also complained that he was using unreasonable pressure.

82
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,000
What a bunch of fools.

83
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,000
I know.

84
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:24,000
All he said was, OK, if you're really done, then I can reuse this tag.

85
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:29,000
But NPR was like, oh, take me.

86
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,000
My take on that is this right here.

87
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Maybe you're glad to handle the fucking problem by the government so long that they can't take any of the criticism or point it out.

88
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Yeah, NPR must be run by a bunch of participation trophy morons.

89
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,000
It is.

90
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,000
It is.

91
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Let's see Tudor's show.

92
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,000
No, you can't really stand out.

93
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Let's be a pompous fucking political act.

94
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000
You're a righteous asshole.

95
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Yeah.

96
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:10,000
But also what I enjoy about this is NPR very publicly claimed that they were being harassed, threatened, manipulated, undue pressure from Elon Musk and Twitter.

97
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,000
But the public's reaction is, what a bunch of crybabies you are.

98
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,000
They are.

99
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:23,000
They have done nothing but severely damage their reputation in the minds of all but their most hardcore fanatics.

100
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Yeah.

101
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Yeah, no.

102
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:33,000
I mean, unless you're one of the sheep that blindly listen to that.

103
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Worship the altar of NPR.

104
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Yeah.

105
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:41,000
You can look at this on the surface and go, oh my god, these guys are crazy.

106
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,000
They are.

107
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,000
They're just, yeah.

108
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Yeah.

109
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,000
I mean, if I was affiliated with them right now, I wouldn't be anymore.

110
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,000
No.

111
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,000
I'm like, you know what, you guys are on your own because of...

112
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Yeah.

113
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:00,000
For a large degree, the businesses and corporations that donate to them do it because it's a tax write-off.

114
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Yes.

115
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:07,000
So they're going to continue to do it until they find a more attractive tax write-off.

116
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:13,000
Because if they make it embarrassing to be seen donating to NPR, they're going to quit.

117
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,000
And right now, NPR is doing nothing but embarrassing themselves.

118
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Yes, they are.

119
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,000
I'm loving every second of it.

120
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,000
Oh, yeah.

121
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Yeah, me too.

122
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:28,000
I remember, you remember their show, The Prairie Home Companion?

123
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,000
It was this comedy, variety, political satire show.

124
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,000
Yeah.

125
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,000
Garrison Keeler was the host.

126
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,000
Yeah.

127
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,000
I heard it a number of times.

128
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:42,000
It was one of the stations I could reliably get while I was at work.

129
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Yeah.

130
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:49,000
But the show was supposed to be sketch comedy, some musical performances, and some other

131
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,000
little things.

132
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:56,000
But it quickly became a completely liberal leftist platform for propaganda.

133
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,000
Yeah, sure.

134
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,000
And they started talking about stolen elections.

135
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,000
You know, this is back when Gore was defeated.

136
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,000
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

137
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,000
George W. won.

138
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,000
Yes.

139
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,000
And then the Democrats were the ones talking about stolen elections.

140
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
That was the exact term they used.

141
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Yeah, yeah, this whole thing did not start with fun.

142
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,000
No, no, the Democrats did it in 2000.

143
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,000
Yeah.

144
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,000
Anyway, so they had this show.

145
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,000
So I'm losing this one.

146
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Yeah, absolutely.

147
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,000
So they had this Prairie Home Companion show.

148
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Yeah, yeah.

149
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,000
And it was, you know, it was everyone's darling, and everyone talked about it as if it was

150
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,000
the greatest thing ever.

151
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:37,000
Come to find out the main head guy behind it, the host and writer Garrison Keeler, was

152
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,000
raping coworkers at work.

153
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Yes.

154
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,000
I remember that.

155
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:49,000
And you should have seen all the people at NPR twisting and bending and contorting themselves

156
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:54,000
in some kind of way to where they could still love on Garrison Keeler and the show.

157
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,000
I remember that.

158
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,000
They were sickening.

159
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,000
Yeah.

160
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,000
And they had to find some way to excuse it, explain it away.

161
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:06,000
The same thing when Al Franken pumped that woman on the airplane.

162
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,000
Oh, yeah, yeah.

163
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:14,000
And he was a liberal comic and comic writer, and then he became a member of Congress.

164
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,000
And then he was shown to be a sexual pervert, too.

165
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,000
And all the liberals just flocked to his defense.

166
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,000
And it was sickening to watch.

167
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,000
But when NPR started loving all over Garrison Keeler in the midst of all the revelations

168
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,000
of his behavior, that really, really turned me off.

169
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,000
That was it for me.

170
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Yeah.

171
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,000
That was it for me.

172
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,000
Yeah.

173
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Well, I never was on board with him.

174
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,000
I mean.

175
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,000
I was to a degree because they could, you know, every now and then they'd play stuff that

176
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,000
you couldn't hear anyone else.

177
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:51,000
There was like a little comedy series called The Adventures of Ruby who wrote a galactic

178
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,000
gum shoe.

179
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Yeah.

180
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,000
I couldn't hear it anywhere else but on NPR.

181
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,000
So it was useful for some things.

182
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,000
Believe it or not, I have the box set of Ruby, the galactic gum shoe, and home.

183
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,000
I do, too.

184
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Oh, that's funny.

185
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,000
I actually had a gay lead from Ned's girlfriend, actually.

186
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,000
She's one to turn me on to.

187
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,000
OK.

188
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Yeah.

189
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,000
So I was like, well, this shit's good.

190
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,000
And she's like, now it's on his show, Garrison.

191
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,000
Yeah.

192
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,000
And I was like, well, I'm going to go to the theater.

193
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,000
And I was like, I'm going to go to the theater.

194
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,000
And I was like, I'm going to go to the theater.

195
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,000
And I was like, I'm going to go to the theater.

196
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,000
And I was like, I'm going to go to the theater.

197
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:24,000
And I was like, I'm going to go to a theater.

198
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,000
It wasn't part of Inferi Home Companion.

199
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,000
It was just on the same radio station.

200
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Yeah.

201
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,000
So I think Garrison on South Park is named after him.

202
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,000
You're right.

203
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Mr. Garrison.

204
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:41,000
I remember reading something about that because they thought he was such a dickball.

205
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,000
You know, we're going to make a real douchey character in his name.

206
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,000
I love it.

207
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,000
I love it.

208
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,000
Yeah.

209
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,000
The one thing that really irritated me about Garrison Keeler is he leaned in really close

210
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,000
to the microphone so you could hear all of his breathing and wheezing.

211
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,000
Yeah.

212
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,000
It's like, don't go down there.

213
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,000
And you could hear the snot whistling in his nose.

214
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,000
And all the nose hairs flapping around.

215
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,000
It's like, you know, he's like, I'm going to go to the theater.

216
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,000
And he's like, I'm going to go to the theater.

217
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,000
And he's like, I'm going to go to the theater.

218
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,000
And he's like, I'm going to go to the theater.

219
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,000
And he's like, I'm going to go to the theater.

220
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:02,000
And you could hear the snot whistling in his nose and all the nose hairs flapping around.

221
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,000
It's like, get away from the microphone.

222
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,000
What Walter did before he passed away, he did a show on KCY.

223
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,000
Yes.

224
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:14,000
And you can hear his gum flap and all that stuff.

225
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000
You can hear his dentures slopping around.

226
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,000
Yeah.

227
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,000
His dentures slopping around and his marble mouth.

228
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,000
I mean, I love Walter Dean.

229
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,000
He was great.

230
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,000
But man, he shouldn't have been on the air.

231
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,000
Yeah.

232
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:33,000
The local NPR affiliate, KCY, kept him on air way longer than they should.

233
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,000
They were milking his name for ratings.

234
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,000
And the guy was just mentally gone.

235
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,000
Yeah.

236
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,000
And his gum flapping and his sparing the speech was horrible.

237
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,000
He made biting look like a fucking doctor.

238
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,000
Like an auctioneer.

239
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,000
Yeah.

240
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,000
They had a series of young women who would, you know,

241
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:57,000
host the show with him and kind of try to keep him on track.

242
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Yes.

243
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,000
But it wasn't fair.

244
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,000
It wasn't fair because it exposed him worse.

245
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,000
Yes.

246
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,000
Who do you expect?

247
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,000
And a microphone.

248
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,000
Mark?

249
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Topher.

250
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,000
All right.

251
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,000
You said something about Dwayne The Rock Johnson being a lawsuit?

252
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Yes.

253
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:21,000
There's a $3 billion lawsuit naming Dwayne The Rock Johnson, among others.

254
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:29,000
It's, let me find this woman's name again so I don't mispronounce it.

255
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:39,000
Former TNA and WWE wrestler Tranesha Biggers, who went by the ring name Raka Khan.

256
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:47,000
She recently filed the court documents necessary to move forward with this $3 billion lawsuit.

257
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:56,000
She claims Dwayne Johnson and his business partner, Danny Garcia,

258
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,000
made plans to kidnap her and her children in 2008.

259
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,000
Made plans?

260
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,000
Yes.

261
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,000
But didn't do it.

262
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,000
But didn't do it.

263
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:11,000
She alleges that Johnson and Garcia sent three men who forcibly removed her from her house in Tampa, Florida.

264
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:19,000
She claims she was taken to a hotel in Miami, Florida and abused both physically and mentally while being confined there.

265
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:26,000
She alleges both Johnson and Garcia threatened to harm her if she did not obey their demands.

266
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:31,000
And then she's listed a bunch of other people that are complicit in this lawsuit.

267
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Here's everyone else she's blaming.

268
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,000
The state of Texas.

269
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,000
The El Paso Child Protective Services.

270
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:45,000
The Las Cruces New Mexico Police Department.

271
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,000
The New York Police Department.

272
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,000
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

273
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,000
These are all people she says are the bad guys.

274
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,000
New York ACS.

275
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,000
I'm not sure what ACS stands for.

276
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Some New Mount Children Services.

277
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,000
Omega Psi Phi Fraternity.

278
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,000
For some reason.

279
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Shirley Police Department.

280
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,000
The Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity.

281
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Suffolk County, New York.

282
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,000
The Tower County.

283
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,000
The Bank of America.

284
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,000
Home Depot.

285
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,000
And the FBI.

286
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,000
And the FBI, okay.

287
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:30,000
I want everyone else, I want everyone to win except for Bank of America.

288
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,000
I want them to be down live.

289
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Yeah, there we go.

290
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:39,000
Okay, how quick do you think this gets thrown out of court?

291
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,000
I give it two weeks.

292
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,000
Pretty quick, yeah.

293
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:49,000
In a most recent statement, Johnson and Garcia's counsel released a statement saying this is just, none of it's true.

294
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,000
It's just completely crazy.

295
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,000
Wow.

296
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:58,000
However, Disney has severed ties with Dwayne The Rock Johnson.

297
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:03,000
You know, Johnson needs to counter-sit.

298
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,000
Not that he'll get anything, but he needs to counter-sit.

299
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,000
He was going to be in the Moana live-action movie coming out.

300
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,000
And they canceled him.

301
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,000
They canceled him.

302
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:22,000
Disney has, in my opinion, one of the worst, most crooked, most creepiest companies corporations around.

303
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,000
They're worried about his reputation.

304
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Yeah.

305
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,000
Oh, fuck them.

306
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,000
Isn't this nuts?

307
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Yeah.

308
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,000
This is a crazy culture. This can't survive long.

309
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,000
I mean, there's got to be a reset.

310
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,000
Someone needs to come and unplug in the United States and plug us back in again.

311
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,000
Absolutely.

312
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,000
I mean, this is just too much.

313
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:50,000
It's just like, you know, 40% of everything we're going our way down here, 40% of everything is medication.

314
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,000
Yeah.

315
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,000
So take your prices and inflation.

316
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,000
It's not worth anything by 40% if you didn't have all this medication going on.

317
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,000
It's bullshit.

318
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:05,000
Well, Disney is losing their status as a self-governing entity.

319
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,000
Yes, I know.

320
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:13,000
They basically had all the rights and autonomy of a county.

321
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,000
Yeah.

322
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,000
And I have to admit, I find this funny.

323
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,000
DeSantis said, well, we'll just take that away from you.

324
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:27,000
And Disney said, OK, but that puts you on the hook for everything we're about going to have to pay,

325
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:31,000
which is over a billion dollars just right up front.

326
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,000
So the Florida lawmakers were clever enough.

327
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:40,000
They went and rewrote the law on how they were going to strip them, which left Disney with all of their debt,

328
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,000
but took away a lot of their autonomy.

329
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:47,000
And now the governor says who sits on the board governing.

330
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,000
The governor is Rick Scott, right?

331
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,000
The governor is DeSantis.

332
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Oh, DeSantis.

333
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,000
Rick Scott used to be the governor.

334
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,000
Yeah.

335
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,000
OK, now DeSantis is.

336
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,000
I'm sorry.

337
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,000
I got you real good.

338
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,000
I thought you were talking about the state senators and stuff.

339
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,000
Oh, yeah.

340
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:10,000
But yeah, so DeSantis has got his guys on the board giving control.

341
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,000
Well, it doesn't surprise me.

342
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,000
They probably had the whole thing planned out, they said.

343
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:21,000
I wonder, is Disney seriously thinking about moving to another state?

344
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,000
Well, I don't know if they really can.

345
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,000
They could, but don't get me wrong.

346
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,000
But I think Orlando is just so famous for that whole area.

347
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000
The town is just right up the road.

348
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,000
The beaches aren't too far.

349
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:40,000
It's so iconically merged with Florida, but you know, stranger things have happened.

350
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,000
I mean, yeah, they could.

351
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,000
Will they? I don't think so.

352
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,000
I think it's something they've threatened, but I don't think they seriously could do it.

353
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,000
I think they'll find the middle ground somewhere.

354
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,000
I think they'll go back to DeSantis and say, look,

355
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,000
how about if we talk this over and we stay here?

356
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,000
If not, are you going to force us to spend all that money to leave?

357
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,000
It's a very good possibility.

358
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Let's talk about this and let's come up with a reasonable solution instead of fighting each other.

359
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,000
And the problem is that they're so busy throwing little barbs in each other.

360
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,000
Yeah, trying to make political gains.

361
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,000
Trying to make cheap headlines.

362
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Yeah.

363
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:20,000
You know, so they both need to lay off each other.

364
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,000
Yeah, I think so.

365
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,000
You know, like I said, it's not like I'm a huge fan of either.

366
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,000
No, no.

367
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,000
And I'm saying this, that they need to find a middle ground because they do not need to move business.

368
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Business is where it needs to be. That's where it's been there forever.

369
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,000
F-Cut Center, all that.

370
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,000
You're going to move every bit of that after all the money you put in.

371
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,000
No, they would just have to build new somewhere else.

372
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,000
Where would all those little fake business plans be?

373
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,000
Really?

374
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,000
Where would they go?

375
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:57,000
Yeah, I think I'd agree that Disney needs a lot more regulation and oversight to where they're just like any other business.

376
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,000
I would agree too.

377
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:06,000
Because I don't think Disney needs any more say in the state's business than the mom and pop market on the corner.

378
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:11,000
Neither one of them should have anything to say other than what a normal voter would have.

379
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,000
I agree. I agree.

380
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,000
So I'm all in favor of Disney losing some of its special privileges.

381
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,000
So am I. Yep.

382
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaking of Florida, I got a story that was pretty interesting.

383
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,000
Alright.

384
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,000
You know the Florida Keys, right?

385
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,000
Love them. Love the Florida Keys.

386
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,000
How they do beautiful land.

387
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,000
I love the fact that you can touch the Gulf of Mexico.

388
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,000
And the Atlantic Ocean.

389
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,000
The Atlantic Ocean. All in a matter of like five minutes.

390
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,000
Yep.

391
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,000
All you got to do is pass the highway. It depends on how busy your highway is.

392
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,000
Well, no, you can go under the bridge.

393
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,000
You can go under the bridge and you're right there where they meet.

394
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,000
Yeah, I'll use that.

395
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,000
You can eat. They can eat.

396
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,000
And then I'll go.

397
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,000
Did you pee in the water?

398
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,000
No, I didn't have swim trunks and we were headed to Key West.

399
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,000
And we were already late for a place there.

400
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,000
And it was like, you know, I would love to pee in the water.

401
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,000
But then guess which way. If you want to go.

402
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,000
My guess is it would end up in the Gulf.

403
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,000
Yeah.

404
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Anyway.

405
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,000
Well, I've peed in both Mexico and the Atlantic.

406
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,000
So have I.

407
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,000
Not the Pacific because that's quite a bit colder.

408
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,000
And you kind of lose your...

409
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,000
Oh, nice.

410
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,000
How many points I get for that?

411
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,000
Lots.

412
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:31,000
Yeah, you can't pee in the Pacific all that well because it's really cold and things tend to shrivel.

413
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,000
I've peed in the Pacific too.

414
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,000
Let's see. The Red Sea gets the most points.

415
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Because it was part of my most.

416
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,000
That's true.

417
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,000
If you don't pee in that, I think it's like a hundred points.

418
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,000
I would think so.

419
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,000
Of course, the regular 30. You get the 30 and then the 100 from your cell phone.

420
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,000
So right there, you go to the Red Sea and test it.

421
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,000
It's 130 points right there.

422
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,000
And you can win any match up really easy.

423
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,000
Yeah.

424
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,000
And I hear recently they've started...

425
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,000
Great Lakes, Great Lakes, New York, Canada.

426
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,000
No.

427
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,000
Because at Peas at Night Michigan, they said that.

428
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:09,000
No. And then I've heard that Utah is asking people to come and pee in the Great Salt Lake because it's dry.

429
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,000
It's dry enough.

430
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,000
So they're paying people $5 to come urinate in the lake.

431
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:19,000
You heard the expression, sand in your vagina?

432
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,000
Imagine salt in your vagina.

433
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,000
Oh, man.

434
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Here's what I hate about drinking in the lake.

435
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,000
Yeah.

436
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,000
Okay, I gotta make it in line. I'm gonna take a piss.

437
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,000
Once flat, you can never get rid of that salt passage guy.

438
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,000
No, it's ruined.

439
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,000
Yeah.

440
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,000
Oh, but anyway.

441
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,000
They found this is a...

442
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,000
Have you ever been to Dry Creek, dude?

443
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,000
No.

444
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,000
Really cool place. We've been there a couple years ago.

445
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,000
It is an old fort.

446
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,000
And it is the southernmost key.

447
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,000
And it's a national park.

448
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,000
It's beautiful. It's a very unique area.

449
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:04,000
And they have a beach there, but they also have an old fort there that you can walk in.

450
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,000
Yeah, neat.

451
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Anyway, we took a catamaran there.

452
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,000
I built that catamaran because it's a couple hours away.

453
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,000
It's a little ways away.

454
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,000
So you can actually see Cuba from there.

455
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000
That's how far down it is.

456
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,000
I went down to the Dry Creek National Park.

457
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,000
It also was an old army fort.

458
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,000
The hospital had been used to house patients with yellow feet.

459
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Oh, okay.

460
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,000
And that's how come it's a quarantine hospital.

461
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,000
Yeah.

462
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,000
The cemetery was found right next to the hospital.

463
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,000
More than 100 years, it stuck in Joe Quartz Bar, the national park,

464
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,000
and it sealed the quarantine hospital and cemetery.

465
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,000
A student at the University of Miami made the discovery.

466
00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:00,000
One of the graves was identified as John Greer, a laborer, according to the headstone.

467
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:07,000
He passed away November 5, 1861 from presumably yellow feet.

468
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,000
Okay, 1861.

469
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,000
So probably a railroad worker at that point.

470
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,000
Yeah, he was.

471
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,000
Yeah, exactly.

472
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,000
Because they have the railroads going down to the cemetery.

473
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,000
Yeah.

474
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:21,000
I think one of the big things was to bring it up on the railroad and the bank.

475
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,000
And it was a way to, I mean, it was a quicker port.

476
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,000
I mean, they could offload on one of the keys and then run it up by rail.

477
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,000
They didn't have to sail all the way up to like Charleston.

478
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Oh yeah, that's right.

479
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,000
Yeah.

480
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,000
So.

481
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,000
When you said yellow fever, I thought you were going to say like early 1900s

482
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,000
during the digging of the Panama Canal.

483
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,000
Oh, that was back then.

484
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,000
Because that would be a convenient place because you go from Panama

485
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:49,000
right across the Gulf to the Keys and drop off all your patients with yellow fever.

486
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,000
I'm sure that was probably true there.

487
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,000
Yeah, and that would have been like 1903 or something.

488
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Yellow fever was just brought up because that's what this hospital was.

489
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,000
It was a quarantine hospital for people with yellow fever.

490
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,000
Yeah.

491
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,000
Interesting.

492
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,000
Yeah, it is.

493
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,000
And I couldn't get pictures of it.

494
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,000
I mean, they had some pictures.

495
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:13,000
It's really interesting because most of the headstones were going.

496
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,000
Oh yeah, he's underwater.

497
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Yeah, I think it's going to take a long time to figure out how many bodies were in there.

498
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,000
Yeah.

499
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,000
And I doubt they're going to do anything about it.

500
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,000
I mean, why would they?

501
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,000
They're still in their grave.

502
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,000
Yeah, I think at this point you just leave them where they are

503
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,000
and just consider them to be buried.

504
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,000
Yeah, and now the hospital, I don't know if they plan on doing anything with that.

505
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,000
I guess they leave it like it is.

506
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,000
And I'll tell you what's going to happen is you're going to have scuba.

507
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,000
Oh yeah.

508
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,000
And snorkels where there's safe.

509
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,000
See the old hospital, yellow fever, yay!

510
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,000
It's probably pretty safe.

511
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,000
I mean, all those years under all that salt water,

512
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,000
I don't think anything has survived to infect anything.

513
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,000
I got it, I got it.

514
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,000
So you know that's just going to be like,

515
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,000
anytime we discover a pirate ship, give it a happy ear.

516
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,000
All the destinations, sunken treasure, sunken pirate ship,

517
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,000
I mean, it doesn't matter what it does,

518
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:15,000
in fact, it wouldn't go to Orlando, the Orlando area, Miami, Fort Myers.

519
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,000
There's always a sunken pirate ship somewhere.

520
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,000
People love to dive on wrecks and many things.

521
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:26,000
Actually, the most famous one that I know about is Swing.

522
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,000
Oh yeah.

523
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,000
Van Kamen is a very famous ship there.

524
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,000
And it's kind of hard to get about that.

525
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,000
Some say it's a pirate ship, some say no, it's a sea pirate ship,

526
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,000
some say yeah, it's someone with a nice ship that it's sunken.

527
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:44,000
The main thing about it is it is right off the continental shelf.

528
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,000
Oh wow.

529
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:50,000
Those islands there, the continental shelf comes up like a mountain.

530
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,000
And that's the island.

531
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,000
When you get up there to that ship, it's right on the edge.

532
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,000
So one side of the ship is nothing.

533
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,000
Wow.

534
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:03,000
The other side is brown underwater.

535
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,000
Yeah.

536
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,000
Wow.

537
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,000
Just landed right there on the nice edge.

538
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,000
Yeah, look at this, it's pretty interesting.

539
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:15,000
Of course, because this is the last continental shelf for a while,

540
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,000
because of the location, it's probably all the way to Puerto Rico maybe.

541
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Well, there's probably little islands in between, but anyhow,

542
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:28,000
it's pretty interesting because that's it.

543
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:32,000
I mean, one side is nothing, thousands of people down.

544
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,000
The other side is under 15.

545
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,000
Yeah.

546
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,000
And if it sunk just a little bit farther one direction,

547
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,000
you would have never been able to see that.

548
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,000
Yeah, it would have been gone, gone, gone.

549
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,000
Crazy, actually.

550
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,000
So anyhow, yeah, that's pretty interesting.

551
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:52,000
And I'm monitoring this story on my favorites because I want to find out

552
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,000
if they actually do some exploring in this hospital

553
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,000
and find out a little bit more about it.

554
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,000
The thing it did not explain is how they found out

555
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,000
it was a hospital for Yellow Feet.

556
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:07,000
Maybe some sort of a record or something about the proximity of it.

557
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:12,000
And maybe at one point people knew about it and then it just got forgotten

558
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,000
and then someone rehashes it.

559
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,000
When the student saw it, he was probably like,

560
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:22,000
hey, there's a huge structure under there with a cemetery next to it.

561
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,000
And then they probably looked at the records and go,

562
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,000
oh yeah, that was the Yellow Feet hospital.

563
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,000
Yeah, yeah, they could find maps of the time and say,

564
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,000
oh, okay, this is what was here.

565
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,000
Yeah, yeah, put it on an island.

566
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,000
Yeah, so anyway.

567
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:47,000
Wow, that reminded me, during the early days of the AIDS outbreak,

568
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:53,000
there was serious talk about quarantining everybody with AIDS to an island.

569
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,000
Yeah, because they were afraid, like when COVID first hit,

570
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:02,000
they thought that 80% of the population was going to black out.

571
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,000
They had no idea what they were looking for, that's what it was.

572
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:11,000
And they didn't know exactly how it was transmitted or how infectious and contagious it was.

573
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:16,000
And yeah, I remember the island of Madagascar off the coast of Africa

574
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:21,000
being considered as a place to go quarantine everybody on the planet.

575
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,000
Yeah, I remember that too.

576
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,000
I remember a lot of people like, do it, before they kill us all.

577
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,000
I remember other people like, are you guys crazy?

578
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:36,000
There's never been a time in history where the good guys have been the ones warehousing people.

579
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:40,000
It's always the bad guys warehousing people.

580
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,000
Because it just doesn't work.

581
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:46,000
Whatever you're trying to get out of it, it's going to be bad news.

582
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,000
It's going to be bad news, yeah.

583
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,000
Thinking of warehousing, I think this is kind of our way, kind of not.

584
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,000
I'm stretching a little bit.

585
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,000
Yeah.

586
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,000
Okay.

587
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:02,000
Did you know that it did not get national distribution until 1986?

588
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:07,000
I remember there was a big deal about people driving to Colorado to get tours

589
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,000
and trying not to get caught by the Kansas Highway Patrol.

590
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,000
Yeah, because it was considered good later.

591
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,000
As a matter of fact, Smokey and the Bandit

592
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,000
Yep, the movie.

593
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,000
That was where their core story came from and the guy said so.

594
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,000
He said, yeah, it was the core story.

595
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,000
Some people called it the Gold Rush.

596
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,000
Yeah, I remember that.

597
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,000
And it turned out to be crappy beer.

598
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,000
It was normal beer, but it was the fact that you couldn't get it.

599
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,000
Just tell somebody that you can't have it, or they want it.

600
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,000
Yeah, if you like water, it was fucking, I don't know.

601
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,000
Bear pissing.

602
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,000
Bear pissing, there you go.

603
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:44,000
So Coors Banquet beer did not get national distribution until 1986,

604
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:50,000
which is why it was, in the 1970s, Coors was not actually licensed to sell in Missouri.

605
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,000
So you could go next door to Kansas,

606
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,000
and you couldn't get in here, and I remember people were pissed

607
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,000
because they would get 3-2 beer.

608
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,000
Yeah, it was 3-2 Coors and they wanted the 5-0 Coors.

609
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:07,000
The 5-0, if I remember correctly, you had to go, for whatever reason,

610
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,000
to Colorado to get the 5-0.

611
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,000
You could get the 3-2 in Kansas.

612
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,000
It was sold in Kansas, the conference area.

613
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,000
The reason was Coors was not characterized like other beers.

614
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:27,000
Because it wasn't characterized, the shipping life on it was not short.

615
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,000
You had to get in here within a certain amount of time,

616
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,000
the other thing to sell, the cutoff was the end of the universe.

617
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,000
They couldn't have Missouri, maybe they could have gotten it in Kansas City, Missouri,

618
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,000
but they didn't want to have another state and only go to the Eastern side.

619
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:46,000
So it was ice-free, so the product had a very short shelf life.

620
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:51,000
So when they did it here, it had to be sold quickly.

621
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,000
Which it usually was.

622
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,000
Yeah, it usually was.

623
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:59,000
And then the beer quickly became a holders' beer.

624
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,000
Famous holders included Gerald Ford,

625
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,000
it might be Eisenhower, Eisenhower makes sense,

626
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,000
because Eisenhower is from Kansas.

627
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:12,000
I put in a bunch of railing and stuff at his museum in Algol.

628
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:16,000
And he loved Kansas because one of his most famous quotes is,

629
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:20,000
the most proudest thing I can say is, I am from Albany, Kansas.

630
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,000
He loved it here.

631
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,000
And very good president too.

632
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,000
And very good general.

633
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:32,000
He's the one that warned us about the military industrial complex.

634
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,000
So he obviously knew what he was talking about.

635
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,000
Yeah.

636
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:42,000
Okay, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Paul Newman was a hoarder.

637
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:46,000
You see what got me was, this stuff had a limited shelf life.

638
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,000
Yeah, that's what doesn't make sense.

639
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,000
You hang on to it long enough and it just turns even worse.

640
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,000
I think what they meant was to grab as much as they could.

641
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,000
When they could, they didn't rank in an appropriate amount of time.

642
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,000
How big a make you kept them in the heavy?

643
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,000
No, they probably meant bought in full.

644
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:08,000
And that's when the term pissy beer came from.

645
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,000
It was coarse.

646
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:15,000
Because if you had it sit for too long, it would have that pissy, like, skunk.

647
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:21,000
Skunk beer is another, I've heard it called pissy beer, I've heard it called skunk beer.

648
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,000
That's where it came from.

649
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,000
At least as far as I know.

650
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,000
So we go, you got coarse, better smell it.

651
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,000
Yeah, take a whiff before you take a swig.

652
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:38,000
And here's my own thing, I remember a big instance locally when I was in New York Town.

653
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:44,000
KC Local Restaurants and Pez are going into Kansas and bringing over food to be secretly sold.

654
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,000
Wow.

655
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,000
This is true.

656
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,000
Because I remember this.

657
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,000
There was the beer you get from out back in the car.

658
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,000
And there's the beer you got there from the town.

659
00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:00,000
The beer you got out back from the town, like Jimmy's Dickens, it might have been one of mine up there.

660
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,000
That's one of the places I remember when I was young.

661
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:07,000
And I remember there being a couple of them because they were getting the booze out of it.

662
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,000
And they're like, we're not doing this.

663
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,000
That coarse out there is for us, it's not for anybody else.

664
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,000
We're not selling it to anybody.

665
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,000
It's not in the business, it's not in the building, it's out there.

666
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:23,000
So how are you going to prove that this beer that's in someone's schooner or whatever is coarse?

667
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,000
Yeah.

668
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:29,000
So if they didn't catch them red handed, they didn't have cameras back then.

669
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,000
They didn't catch them red handed.

670
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,000
It's like, this is Miller in it, asshole.

671
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:38,000
Look, we got a Miller tap right there.

672
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,000
Yeah, so anyhow, the beer is to be secretly sold.

673
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:48,000
The dealer that mostly kept the vehicles and a runner would grab the frosted mug, fill it out back, and be given to the customer.

674
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,000
The customer would be down there.

675
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:58,000
So someone would walk in and give them a secret, whatever, a secret code or whatever and go, hey, 32 Eagle.

676
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,000
They'd be right back.

677
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:05,000
Then they have a runner go get a frosted mug for it out there, bring it in, and act like they just got it for back.

678
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:12,000
Smokey and the Bandit movie was of course written about forestry wagons around the Casey Metro area.

679
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:17,000
To me, this is fascinating because it's such a huge piece of history.

680
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:22,000
But really, people don't know that much about it.

681
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:27,000
And Smokey and the Bandit, of course, was pretty much written off of that forest story.

682
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:31,000
It was deviated a lot, of course, because you had a monkey tonight.

683
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,000
No, that was Any Which Way at least.

684
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,000
Oh, that's right.

685
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,000
Smokey and the Bandit.

686
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:40,000
That was Burt Reynolds, Sally Fields, Jackie Gleason, The Runaway Bride.

687
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,000
Jackie Gleason.

688
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,000
They had The Runaway Bride.

689
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,000
Oh, hey, there's Rick.

690
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:51,000
Does he know we stole his chocolates from the farmland?

691
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,000
I don't think he does.

692
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:59,000
You know, they leave us a box of chocolates because he's such a freak with a toy or whatever.

693
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,000
And we ate them all.

694
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:07,000
He loves those chocolates and he told us, he said, those fucking chocolates are mine.

695
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,000
And you know what we're going to do tomorrow morning?

696
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,000
We're going to eat them too.

697
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,000
And the next morning?

698
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,000
We're going to eat them too and then we're going to go back.

699
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,000
He's going to have to come over and physically stop us.

700
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:22,000
What we're going to tell him is, before we leave, and look, now this podcast probably will be dropped on him.

701
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:27,000
Until we leave, we'll just tell him, when we leave, we'll bring them back.

702
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,000
We'll bring all three boxes.

703
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,000
And then we'll take them up on the plate and tell him we forgot them.

704
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:36,000
Until he hears them.

705
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,000
Those chocolates are mine.

706
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,000
I was not even going to come in.

707
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,000
Only thing is, if you really see them, you can go to sleep.

708
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:46,000
You know, and let's say you roll around on that box now.

709
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,000
Yeah, you can really think that it's just a bag of chocolate.

710
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:53,000
You can feel pretty much, yeah.

711
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,000
Whip the job.

712
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,000
Come here now.

713
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,000
Two Shirley Temples and a bottle of scotch.

714
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,000
We'll be right back.

715
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,000
Oh shit.

716
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,000
What's that over there?

717
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,000
Oh no.

718
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,000
It's the island of horrible jokes.

719
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,000
Ugh.

720
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:16,000
I asked my date to meet me at the gym.

721
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,000
She didn't show up.

722
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,000
I guess we're not going to work out.

723
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,000
Hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah.

724
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:32,000
You're all aware of the Amber Alert, right?

725
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,640
Well, get rid of your disinfectants and rubber bedspreads, kids.

726
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,600
It's the all-new Amber Heard Alert system.

727
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:42,740
This fantastic early warning device helps one stay dry and rid of all those annoying

728
00:36:42,740 --> 00:36:44,640
mattress invoices.

729
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:49,840
Simply hook up to Child Under 6 or Psychopath and wait for the running water sound.

730
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:54,400
This clever machine has three distinct settings, babbling brook, ocean waves, and roaring river

731
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,400
for those close called.

732
00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:07,200
Order today and get a free Cinnabon Renuze It Cartridge.

733
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,200
If you love vomit, we have the podcast for you.

734
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:15,200
Hi, as I told you earlier at the house, we're getting ready to leave.

735
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:20,200
I got a phone call from a free vacation guy.

736
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:28,720
They're very pesky and they want money before you get off the phone, which is not an option.

737
00:37:28,720 --> 00:37:29,720
They're so tenacious.

738
00:37:29,720 --> 00:37:32,720
They're like trying to wipe slug slime off you.

739
00:37:32,720 --> 00:37:37,720
After they call, you have to shower for an hour and a half.

740
00:37:37,720 --> 00:37:42,720
Finally, we're scrubbing bubbles.

741
00:37:42,720 --> 00:37:47,720
This is just yesterday morning.

742
00:37:47,720 --> 00:37:58,720
I get a call about a vacation, especially priced at five different exotic locations.

743
00:37:58,720 --> 00:38:03,720
All we have to do is listen to a 40 minute cell on the condo's rent or sell.

744
00:38:03,720 --> 00:38:08,720
I know people who went, I've never done that because I don't want to sit there and listen

745
00:38:08,720 --> 00:38:09,720
to anyone.

746
00:38:09,720 --> 00:38:12,720
They're very tenacious.

747
00:38:12,720 --> 00:38:17,720
After you sell, sell, sell, they really won't let you go after 40 minutes.

748
00:38:17,720 --> 00:38:23,720
They say they do, but it's usually like two hours before they finally let you out of their

749
00:38:23,720 --> 00:38:24,720
hands and go to the toilet.

750
00:38:24,720 --> 00:38:25,720
It's just enough to where you could run.

751
00:38:25,720 --> 00:38:32,720
Anyhow, he said all we have to do is listen to a 40 minute cell on the condo.

752
00:38:32,720 --> 00:38:37,720
The guy keeps hammering out about meeting the smart closet and I keep the offer.

753
00:38:37,720 --> 00:38:40,720
I kept trying to get off the phone.

754
00:38:40,720 --> 00:38:45,720
I need to get a deposit from you right now so I can hold this offer for you.

755
00:38:45,720 --> 00:38:47,720
I said, no, you can just call back.

756
00:38:47,720 --> 00:38:51,720
No, no, no, I need to get, no, you can just call back.

757
00:38:51,720 --> 00:38:53,720
I told him, I said, well, where's your website?

758
00:38:53,720 --> 00:38:55,720
I'll pay it there.

759
00:38:55,720 --> 00:38:57,720
I said, I don't know, I need credit for this.

760
00:38:57,720 --> 00:38:59,720
You can't go to the website, I won't get credit.

761
00:38:59,720 --> 00:39:02,720
I said, what do I care?

762
00:39:02,720 --> 00:39:05,720
I'm really dicking with this guy at this time because I didn't dare.

763
00:39:05,720 --> 00:39:06,720
He was pissing me off so bad.

764
00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:10,720
I told him that I could not deposit the future offer.

765
00:39:10,720 --> 00:39:13,720
I told him that I could not make that kind of decision without my wife.

766
00:39:13,720 --> 00:39:18,720
So he kind of listened to that but he was still like, well, I'm sure she'd understand.

767
00:39:18,720 --> 00:39:23,720
And then he said something about, well, we could maybe bring your money back.

768
00:39:23,720 --> 00:39:25,720
I said, no, that's not possible.

769
00:39:25,720 --> 00:39:29,720
I said, I'm not going to go through all the hoops and mishaps and all that to get my money back.

770
00:39:29,720 --> 00:39:31,720
I said, look, I said, I wasn't born yesterday.

771
00:39:31,720 --> 00:39:35,720
Why don't you get this money from over in Roachley Hospital and get back?

772
00:39:35,720 --> 00:39:37,720
And I said, what if this is my wife's offer over here?

773
00:39:37,720 --> 00:39:40,720
They don't like them, they have to know.

774
00:39:40,720 --> 00:39:45,720
So I told my wife that she was in the hospital because the ad said, well, you can be asked now.

775
00:39:45,720 --> 00:39:47,720
That's the way it is in the hospital.

776
00:39:47,720 --> 00:39:51,720
She asked me, I was going to go to the hospital.

777
00:39:51,720 --> 00:39:56,720
This really pissed me off so bad, I quickly came up with 7PM.

778
00:39:56,720 --> 00:39:59,720
I knew I was going to do something.

779
00:39:59,720 --> 00:40:02,720
I know 7PM. 7PM I should be open.

780
00:40:02,720 --> 00:40:05,720
I'll ask her that.

781
00:40:05,720 --> 00:40:06,720
Okay.

782
00:40:06,720 --> 00:40:08,720
Many dicks wouldn't have seen me.

783
00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:10,720
I'm sure you can't put it in the closet.

784
00:40:10,720 --> 00:40:12,720
Yes, I'm sure.

785
00:40:12,720 --> 00:40:16,720
So I called you at the same number, yeah, asked for a fucking movie or something.

786
00:40:16,720 --> 00:40:18,720
Whatever.

787
00:40:18,720 --> 00:40:20,720
It's around 7PM that evening, sure enough.

788
00:40:20,720 --> 00:40:22,720
I get a call from the law, alright?

789
00:40:22,720 --> 00:40:25,720
So I actually got home what I was going to say.

790
00:40:25,720 --> 00:40:27,720
I was just like, oh shit, I forgot about this.

791
00:40:27,720 --> 00:40:29,720
Then I saw the number.

792
00:40:29,720 --> 00:40:31,720
I remember that number, like 819.

793
00:40:31,720 --> 00:40:33,720
I remember.

794
00:40:33,720 --> 00:40:39,720
So I answered, I quickly threw out of my ass, he says, Mark, he's not here right now.

795
00:40:39,720 --> 00:40:42,720
So my voice is very identified.

796
00:40:42,720 --> 00:40:46,720
Well, I could never do phone calls because people go, Mark, shut up.

797
00:40:46,720 --> 00:40:49,720
Mark, do you want me to call your mom?

798
00:40:49,720 --> 00:40:52,720
I got her on speed dial, you fucking movie.

799
00:40:52,720 --> 00:40:54,720
No, no, no, I'm sorry, I'll get off the phone.

800
00:40:54,720 --> 00:40:57,720
So he knew it was me, but he couldn't prove it.

801
00:40:57,720 --> 00:41:03,720
So the guy seems to be cautious, he's not sold on it, you know, of just not being me.

802
00:41:03,720 --> 00:41:08,720
I didn't say, hang on, I think he just pulled in the driveway because he started getting a little frigid.

803
00:41:08,720 --> 00:41:14,720
You know what, I was like, I got to do something with this motherfucker because he's bothering the piss out of me

804
00:41:14,720 --> 00:41:17,720
and wasting my time so bad and will not take no good answers.

805
00:41:17,720 --> 00:41:20,720
So I told him to please hold.

806
00:41:20,720 --> 00:41:24,720
I fumbled around and opened and closed the door after about five minutes.

807
00:41:24,720 --> 00:41:29,720
So then when I slammed the door shut, I go, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, something.

808
00:41:29,720 --> 00:41:34,720
And then I screamed, no, no way, I'm not buying from the ass whore.

809
00:41:34,720 --> 00:41:35,720
No fucking way.

810
00:41:35,720 --> 00:41:37,720
That guy's a douchebag and I fucking hate him.

811
00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:40,720
Hang up on the net.

812
00:41:40,720 --> 00:41:46,720
So then me, I go back to the phone and I tell him, Mark will call him back.

813
00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:49,720
I mean, Mark will maybe call back, he's a little busy right now.

814
00:41:49,720 --> 00:41:51,720
So he's like, ah, ah, ah, ah.

815
00:41:51,720 --> 00:41:57,720
And then I mentioned I'm his cousin in law and I'm interested in the vacation.

816
00:41:57,720 --> 00:42:00,720
And I thought he was going to hang up on me right then.

817
00:42:00,720 --> 00:42:01,720
But he didn't.

818
00:42:01,720 --> 00:42:03,720
He's like, oh yeah, so he just sees an opening.

819
00:42:03,720 --> 00:42:04,720
He's got such a predator.

820
00:42:04,720 --> 00:42:06,720
He's got to salvage something out of this.

821
00:42:06,720 --> 00:42:07,720
Yeah.

822
00:42:07,720 --> 00:42:08,720
I was like, OK.

823
00:42:08,720 --> 00:42:16,720
Then I told him that I can't make the call without my wife's blessing and she's in the hospital.

824
00:42:16,720 --> 00:42:20,720
He yelled at me in a foreign language and hung up.

825
00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:21,720
I was like, ah, ah, ah, ah.

826
00:42:21,720 --> 00:42:26,720
He slammed as much as he could slam himself.

827
00:42:26,720 --> 00:42:28,720
Oh my gosh.

828
00:42:28,720 --> 00:42:34,720
I remember having a similar to your thing about wanting a deposit.

829
00:42:34,720 --> 00:42:38,720
It's like, well, you know, you really need to jump on this now to, you know, because these might be all gone.

830
00:42:38,720 --> 00:42:39,720
You might miss out.

831
00:42:39,720 --> 00:42:42,720
And I remember telling the guy, that's OK.

832
00:42:42,720 --> 00:42:44,720
If I miss out, I don't care that much.

833
00:42:44,720 --> 00:42:48,720
And it just messed with his mind.

834
00:42:48,720 --> 00:42:50,720
That's it.

835
00:42:50,720 --> 00:42:54,720
What I tell him is I'm not really thrilled about making the call.

836
00:42:54,720 --> 00:42:57,720
It's like before, you know, people told me about these big things.

837
00:42:57,720 --> 00:43:00,720
I'm like, dude, I just got back from being out of town and I'm not getting out.

838
00:43:00,720 --> 00:43:02,720
The last thing I want to do is think about going out of town.

839
00:43:02,720 --> 00:43:04,720
I really don't care what you offer.

840
00:43:04,720 --> 00:43:08,720
Yeah.

841
00:43:08,720 --> 00:43:09,720
But this is in Aruba.

842
00:43:09,720 --> 00:43:10,720
I've been there.

843
00:43:10,720 --> 00:43:11,720
Loving it.

844
00:43:11,720 --> 00:43:13,720
And you're where I want to be right now where I'm at now.

845
00:43:13,720 --> 00:43:14,720
But you're fucking bothering me.

846
00:43:14,720 --> 00:43:15,720
Yeah.

847
00:43:15,720 --> 00:43:22,720
I had a customer on one of my mail routes trying to sell me her time share.

848
00:43:22,720 --> 00:43:24,720
And it was down.

849
00:43:24,720 --> 00:43:25,720
Yeah.

850
00:43:25,720 --> 00:43:27,720
It was down on the Ozarks.

851
00:43:27,720 --> 00:43:34,720
And she approached it as first she asked, are you married?

852
00:43:34,720 --> 00:43:35,720
And I said, yeah.

853
00:43:35,720 --> 00:43:37,720
She said, well, you want to see my dick?

854
00:43:37,720 --> 00:43:41,720
She said, you need to buy this time share.

855
00:43:41,720 --> 00:43:44,720
Your wife would love this vacation.

856
00:43:44,720 --> 00:43:47,720
Oh, there's all these places to shop down there.

857
00:43:47,720 --> 00:43:49,720
There's just all the time to shopping.

858
00:43:49,720 --> 00:43:50,720
Yeah.

859
00:43:50,720 --> 00:43:53,720
And I said, yeah, my wife doesn't like to shop.

860
00:43:53,720 --> 00:43:56,720
Every woman likes to shop.

861
00:43:56,720 --> 00:43:59,720
I said, she doesn't.

862
00:43:59,720 --> 00:44:02,720
She kept going on and on about it.

863
00:44:02,720 --> 00:44:05,720
No, this is my first wife.

864
00:44:05,720 --> 00:44:06,720
Oh, the devil?

865
00:44:06,720 --> 00:44:07,720
Yeah.

866
00:44:07,720 --> 00:44:14,720
But the little backstory on this woman, she was...

867
00:44:14,720 --> 00:44:16,720
That was me saying it, not Christopher.

868
00:44:16,720 --> 00:44:17,720
That was me.

869
00:44:17,720 --> 00:44:24,720
At the time, I'd say she was probably mid-60s, but doing everything possible to look like

870
00:44:24,720 --> 00:44:26,720
she was still in her 20s.

871
00:44:26,720 --> 00:44:28,720
Oh, one of those.

872
00:44:28,720 --> 00:44:33,720
Former flight attendant, married a wealthy guy.

873
00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:38,720
And then he divorced her and moved out.

874
00:44:38,720 --> 00:44:43,720
And she was left with this very expensive, very large house.

875
00:44:43,720 --> 00:44:46,720
There's, I forget the name of it.

876
00:44:46,720 --> 00:44:49,720
How did you choose for the time share to her?

877
00:44:49,720 --> 00:44:53,720
She probably got it and divorced.

878
00:44:53,720 --> 00:44:54,720
I think she would have liked it.

879
00:44:54,720 --> 00:44:56,720
Her husband said, I don't want that, but...

880
00:44:56,720 --> 00:44:57,720
Who knows?

881
00:44:57,720 --> 00:44:58,720
Oh, well, okay.

882
00:44:58,720 --> 00:45:03,720
So she or she was in this big house all by herself.

883
00:45:03,720 --> 00:45:10,720
She acted like the kind of person who got through life on her looks all of her life.

884
00:45:10,720 --> 00:45:18,720
And now they were gone and she was alone and she was slowly going stir crazy in this big

885
00:45:18,720 --> 00:45:19,720
house.

886
00:45:19,720 --> 00:45:25,720
And she couldn't figure out why she didn't have some rich man there to take care of her

887
00:45:25,720 --> 00:45:26,720
in.

888
00:45:26,720 --> 00:45:30,720
And she got progressively more odd.

889
00:45:30,720 --> 00:45:35,720
I don't think she was really crazy, but she was starting to kind of lose touch a little

890
00:45:35,720 --> 00:45:36,720
bit.

891
00:45:36,720 --> 00:45:41,720
And she kept coming out and hammering me about this time share.

892
00:45:41,720 --> 00:45:46,720
And then she started getting flirty at one point.

893
00:45:46,720 --> 00:45:49,720
It's like, oh my God, is this how you've done everything in your life?

894
00:45:49,720 --> 00:45:53,720
You just imply that you'll have sex with the guy.

895
00:45:53,720 --> 00:45:54,720
That's what she reverted to.

896
00:45:54,720 --> 00:45:56,720
Just like a guy that's got an androgyl.

897
00:45:56,720 --> 00:46:01,720
He might yell at you a little bit, but he's eventually been a result of violence because

898
00:46:01,720 --> 00:46:03,720
that's what his only thing that's known to him.

899
00:46:03,720 --> 00:46:04,720
This is no different.

900
00:46:04,720 --> 00:46:05,720
I mean, only the court is.

901
00:46:05,720 --> 00:46:06,720
I can give him a laugh.

902
00:46:06,720 --> 00:46:07,720
All I gotta do is just turn on the court and get started.

903
00:46:07,720 --> 00:46:08,720
I didn't want to do it, but he's making me do it.

904
00:46:08,720 --> 00:46:09,720
Yeah.

905
00:46:09,720 --> 00:46:10,720
It just kind of horrified me.

906
00:46:10,720 --> 00:46:11,720
It's like, she knows I'm married.

907
00:46:11,720 --> 00:46:12,720
She's got a pregosa spring style around her.

908
00:46:12,720 --> 00:46:13,720
Sure.

909
00:46:13,720 --> 00:46:14,720
I got the same one.

910
00:46:14,720 --> 00:46:15,720
No, I can't believe it.

911
00:46:15,720 --> 00:46:16,720
She knows I was married.

912
00:46:16,720 --> 00:46:17,720
She knew I was married.

913
00:46:17,720 --> 00:46:18,720
She knew I was married.

914
00:46:18,720 --> 00:46:19,720
She knew I was married.

915
00:46:19,720 --> 00:46:20,720
She knew I was married.

916
00:46:20,720 --> 00:46:21,720
She knew I was married.

917
00:46:21,720 --> 00:46:24,720
She knew I was married.

918
00:46:24,720 --> 00:46:29,720
There was at least a 30-year age gap.

919
00:46:29,720 --> 00:46:37,720
She had every opportunity to blackmail and extort me after the fact.

920
00:46:37,720 --> 00:46:41,720
Call my boss and say I broke in and forced myself on her.

921
00:46:41,720 --> 00:46:45,720
Call my wife and say your husband's cheating with me.

922
00:46:45,720 --> 00:46:46,720
She was a crazy person.

923
00:46:46,720 --> 00:46:49,720
I bet you were worried about her doing that to her too.

924
00:46:49,720 --> 00:46:54,720
Yeah, I was thinking I got to distance myself somehow or she's just going to start making

925
00:46:54,720 --> 00:46:55,720
accusations anyway.

926
00:46:55,720 --> 00:46:59,720
Yeah, that's where she's going to reserve me because that's the only thing she's had

927
00:46:59,720 --> 00:47:00,720
in her life.

928
00:47:00,720 --> 00:47:08,720
I kind of lucked out in a way because another thing she kept complaining about was the fact

929
00:47:08,720 --> 00:47:14,720
that she got her mail at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

930
00:47:14,720 --> 00:47:17,720
My friend gets her mail at 10 in the morning.

931
00:47:17,720 --> 00:47:20,720
I said, well, you're at the end of my route.

932
00:47:20,720 --> 00:47:25,720
I have to start at this spot and by the time I get here it's the end of the day.

933
00:47:25,720 --> 00:47:28,720
Well, you should just come over and deliver our mail early.

934
00:47:28,720 --> 00:47:30,720
I said, that's up to my boss.

935
00:47:30,720 --> 00:47:33,720
I have to do it in order.

936
00:47:33,720 --> 00:47:34,720
I did.

937
00:47:34,720 --> 00:47:35,720
I gave.

938
00:47:35,720 --> 00:47:37,720
I said, here's his name, here's his number.

939
00:47:37,720 --> 00:47:45,720
If he tells me it's okay to start doing it differently, then well, part of it was I

940
00:47:45,720 --> 00:47:48,720
was going to let the boss tell her, uh-uh, it ain't happening.

941
00:47:48,720 --> 00:47:51,720
Then also I wanted the boss to get a sense of how nuts she was.

942
00:47:51,720 --> 00:47:52,720
Oh, that's a great idea.

943
00:47:52,720 --> 00:47:53,720
Yes.

944
00:47:53,720 --> 00:47:56,720
Already established that she's going to have to do that whenever something's set.

945
00:47:56,720 --> 00:48:00,720
Oh yeah, yeah, that's that crazy picture.

946
00:48:00,720 --> 00:48:01,720
Yeah.

947
00:48:01,720 --> 00:48:05,720
When I went back to the office, he said, this woman on your route called up and complained

948
00:48:05,720 --> 00:48:07,720
that you're always there too late.

949
00:48:07,720 --> 00:48:10,720
I said, too late?

950
00:48:10,720 --> 00:48:12,720
Here I am done with my route on time.

951
00:48:12,720 --> 00:48:13,720
I'm not late for anything.

952
00:48:13,720 --> 00:48:16,720
And he said, well, I mean, you're late in the day and she doesn't like it.

953
00:48:16,720 --> 00:48:21,720
It was like, you know, you authorized me to switch the route around, but then the people

954
00:48:21,720 --> 00:48:24,720
who used to be first are going to be pissed and they're going to be calling you.

955
00:48:24,720 --> 00:48:25,720
He was like, yeah.

956
00:48:25,720 --> 00:48:29,720
And then, no, we never changed it around for her.

957
00:48:29,720 --> 00:48:33,720
But he mentioned a couple of times, man, what's wrong with that woman?

958
00:48:33,720 --> 00:48:34,720
She's weird.

959
00:48:34,720 --> 00:48:40,720
So it's like, yes, she's on record as being weird and strange and bizarre.

960
00:48:40,720 --> 00:48:44,720
So that would automatically cast a shade on her right off the bat.

961
00:48:44,720 --> 00:48:47,720
Good for you, that was a smart move.

962
00:48:47,720 --> 00:48:53,720
Yeah, you know, I knew guys that I delivered mail with that would have just jumped right

963
00:48:53,720 --> 00:48:54,720
at the chance.

964
00:48:54,720 --> 00:48:57,720
They would have walked right into her house and slept with her.

965
00:48:57,720 --> 00:48:58,720
And then it was true.

966
00:48:58,720 --> 00:49:04,720
I knew a lot of divorced letter carriers that got divorced while on the job because they

967
00:49:04,720 --> 00:49:06,720
were sleeping with people on their route.

968
00:49:06,720 --> 00:49:34,720
I was in a band with a guy who lived across the street from a cop and he said she'd come

969
00:49:34,720 --> 00:49:42,720
home in the middle of the day and then like five minutes later another car would pull

970
00:49:42,720 --> 00:49:47,720
up and the guy would get out and go in and have sex and she'd get back in her car and

971
00:49:47,720 --> 00:49:49,720
go back to duty.

972
00:49:49,720 --> 00:49:50,720
No.

973
00:49:50,720 --> 00:49:52,720
I saw her once.

974
00:49:52,720 --> 00:49:59,720
She was, I'd say easily 400 pounds.

975
00:49:59,720 --> 00:50:05,720
I have no idea how she managed to pass the physical requirements of being a police officer.

976
00:50:05,720 --> 00:50:09,720
You know, blonde white girl but she was enormous.

977
00:50:09,720 --> 00:50:23,720
Maybe she was less weight because she was really short but she was a big, big girl.

978
00:50:23,720 --> 00:50:26,720
Plus being overweight is considered a disability.

979
00:50:26,720 --> 00:50:30,720
So you can't fire somebody for having a disability.

980
00:50:30,720 --> 00:50:35,720
Yeah, not so much like their gender or anything else.

981
00:50:35,720 --> 00:50:38,720
I think more like their rights.

982
00:50:38,720 --> 00:50:46,720
Plus the stress of being a cop makes people overeat so it's part of an on the job hazard.

983
00:50:46,720 --> 00:50:48,720
It's like an on the job hazard, you know.

984
00:50:48,720 --> 00:50:52,720
So how can they keep firing them for that?

985
00:50:52,720 --> 00:50:57,720
They do have to watch the certain criteria because it is considered like a government

986
00:50:57,720 --> 00:51:01,720
life job where they have to do certain things.

987
00:51:01,720 --> 00:51:03,720
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it.

988
00:51:03,720 --> 00:51:06,720
What I'm saying is this is probably why it's a huge problem.

989
00:51:06,720 --> 00:51:12,720
Yeah, the fact that we have to have so many laws maybe sitting people in about hiring

990
00:51:12,720 --> 00:51:15,720
so they don't do it wrong is sad.

991
00:51:15,720 --> 00:51:16,720
It is.

992
00:51:16,720 --> 00:51:20,720
It's sad that people don't just do the right thing and you know, we're going to have all

993
00:51:20,720 --> 00:51:24,720
people of this color and no people of that color working here.

994
00:51:24,720 --> 00:51:26,720
Because people want to do that and that's sad.

995
00:51:26,720 --> 00:51:28,720
So that's why we have to have all these regulations.

996
00:51:28,720 --> 00:51:30,720
You want a fair, balanced campus society.

997
00:51:30,720 --> 00:51:32,720
Don't pit people against each other.

998
00:51:32,720 --> 00:51:33,720
Yes.

999
00:51:33,720 --> 00:51:35,720
Which your government is famous for doing.

1000
00:51:35,720 --> 00:51:37,720
Uh huh.

1001
00:51:37,720 --> 00:51:38,720
Divide and conquer.

1002
00:51:38,720 --> 00:51:39,720
Yep, yep, that's it.

1003
00:51:39,720 --> 00:51:40,720
Yep.

1004
00:51:40,720 --> 00:51:52,720
Alright, if you heard some flipping, don't break at this bathroom, but while you were

1005
00:51:52,720 --> 00:51:54,720
gone, Rick came up to me.

1006
00:51:54,720 --> 00:51:55,720
Oh yeah?

1007
00:51:55,720 --> 00:51:56,720
Someone knocked us out.

1008
00:51:56,720 --> 00:51:57,720
They had the chocolates.

1009
00:51:57,720 --> 00:51:58,720
Uh oh.

1010
00:51:58,720 --> 00:51:59,720
Yeah.

1011
00:51:59,720 --> 00:52:00,720
Sorry Rick.

1012
00:52:00,720 --> 00:52:06,720
He told us to tell them that they didn't deliver the chocolates on the bed last night like

1013
00:52:06,720 --> 00:52:07,720
they were supposed to.

1014
00:52:07,720 --> 00:52:08,720
Uh huh.

1015
00:52:08,720 --> 00:52:10,720
And they want those and the ones for tonight too.

1016
00:52:10,720 --> 00:52:11,720
That'll work.

1017
00:52:11,720 --> 00:52:12,720
Yeah.

1018
00:52:12,720 --> 00:52:13,720
Well I guess tomorrow morning at this point.

1019
00:52:13,720 --> 00:52:14,720
Yeah.

1020
00:52:14,720 --> 00:52:15,720
There better be three of them before we leave here.

1021
00:52:15,720 --> 00:52:16,720
So I guess we're getting three of them.

1022
00:52:16,720 --> 00:52:17,720
It's not like you can buy these chocolates because they have the emblem on them.

1023
00:52:17,720 --> 00:52:18,720
Right, these are like custom made.

1024
00:52:18,720 --> 00:52:19,720
Yeah, they're like, yeah, it's pretty interesting.

1025
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:20,720
I love the name.

1026
00:52:20,720 --> 00:52:21,720
Hey thank you.

1027
00:52:21,720 --> 00:52:22,720
Thank you.

1028
00:52:22,720 --> 00:52:23,720
Check us out on the new phones.

1029
00:52:23,720 --> 00:52:38,720
What are you guys talking about?

1030
00:52:38,720 --> 00:52:54,720
Anything and everything.

1031
00:52:54,720 --> 00:53:19,400
I mean, how is it that you'reán

1032
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:20,440
Man?

1033
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:21,440
Yeah, that's true.

1034
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:26,440
I know, yeah, it's just sometimes you're packing the car, packing for the plane, you don't

1035
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:27,440
remember.

1036
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:28,440
Well, and also another thing is, a lot of times, you know, he has his concourse here,

1037
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:29,440
where he's walking by to the market over there.

1038
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:30,440
Yeah.

1039
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:31,440
That's another thing, if you're having cotton in the national, that is, both cotton houses

1040
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:32,440
and the national are the same thing.

1041
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:33,440
Yeah.

1042
00:53:33,440 --> 00:54:01,600
So, we don't always do outside, but it's such a beautiful day today, we don't do outside.

1043
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:02,600
So, in the banner, inside there's kind of hard to put a banner up because of the corner

1044
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:03,600
that we're in.

1045
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:04,600
Right, yeah, it would be just like everyone would have to detour around to go around three

1046
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:05,600
different tables.

1047
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:06,600
There's so many pretty down in front of us out there.

1048
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:07,600
There's a whole way to hang it from the ceiling so there's no stand on the, yeah, we'll figure

1049
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:08,600
something.

1050
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:09,600
Because now that we have a banner up here, we're actually going to be able to put a person

1051
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:10,600
on it.

1052
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:11,600
Yeah.

1053
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:12,600
Which is what we're going for.

1054
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:13,600
So, I'm a big fan of some icon kind of red cloth here.

1055
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:14,600
This is the one that I've been looking for.

1056
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:15,600
Yeah.

1057
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:16,600
So, I'm a big fan of some icon kind of red cloth here.

1058
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:17,600
This is the one that I've been looking for.

1059
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:32,600
Yeah.

1060
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,600
This was in 2007.

1061
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:36,600
Yeah.

1062
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:37,600
This was in Minneapolis.

1063
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:38,600
This was Minneapolis, Minnesota, yeah.

1064
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:39,600
It was the I-35 bridge collapse.

1065
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:40,600
I remember that because I was coming around to see it.

1066
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:41,600
I remember that.

1067
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:48,600
I was getting ready to watch the world's going.

1068
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:53,600
And there was nothing on it.

1069
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:56,600
I'm like, what the hell?

1070
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:57,600
What happened?

1071
00:54:57,600 --> 00:54:58,600
It reminds me when I was going to watch World Series.

1072
00:54:58,600 --> 00:54:59,600
And I was the only one that was watching it.

1073
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:00,600
Yeah.

1074
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:01,600
And that's because there was a hard earthquake.

1075
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:02,600
Yeah.

1076
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:03,600
So, this is another guy.

1077
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:04,600
The folks in Minneapolis say this is kind of like their 9-11.

1078
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:05,600
Yeah.

1079
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:12,600
Because it was such a horrible catastrophe.

1080
00:55:10,260 --> 00:55:36,520
everybody drove across it.

1081
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:13,600
Yeah.

1082
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:14,600
Yeah.

1083
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:40,680
It was like everyone.

1084
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:41,680
Yeah.

1085
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:42,680
Yeah.

1086
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:43,680
Yeah.

1087
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:44,680
It's like, you're actually there.

1088
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:45,680
Yeah.

1089
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:46,680
It's like, oh wait, I'm there.

1090
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:47,680
I mean, wait a minute, I'm not physically there.

1091
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:48,680
Yeah.

1092
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:49,680
So, yeah, it happened on August 1, 2007.

1093
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:50,680
13 people died as a result of the bridge collapse.

1094
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:51,680
I thought it was more than that.

1095
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:52,680
Yeah.

1096
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:53,680
A lot more injured, but that's...

1097
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:54,680
Well, the higher agency had 176 people.

1098
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:55,680
Yeah.

1099
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:56,680
So, it was a horrible thing.

1100
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:57,680
Yeah.

1101
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:58,680
It was a horrible thing.

1102
00:55:58,680 --> 00:55:59,680
Yeah.

1103
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:00,680
It was a horrible thing.

1104
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:01,680
Yeah.

1105
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:02,680
It was a horrible thing.

1106
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:03,680
Yeah.

1107
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:04,680
It was a horrible thing.

1108
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:05,680
It was a horrible thing.

1109
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:06,680
Yeah.

1110
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:07,680
It was a horrible thing.

1111
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:08,680
Yeah.

1112
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:09,680
It still sucks in New Orleans.

1113
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:10,680
Really?

1114
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:11,680
Yeah.

1115
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:18,680
So, going back to the beginning, in 1964, the bridge was designed.

1116
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:21,680
And it was designed with a flaw.

1117
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:24,680
And the flaw is it only had two trusses.

1118
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:26,680
Now, the trusses are the things...

1119
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:29,680
The bridge is a bit over that bridge.

1120
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:30,680
Yeah.

1121
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:31,680
Before it collapsed.

1122
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:34,680
The trusses are the things that run along each side of the bridge.

1123
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:37,680
You know, and go from one end to the other.

1124
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:42,680
And it's usually, you know, you see all the triangles and all the beams and girders forming

1125
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:44,680
all these triangles.

1126
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:47,680
And so, that's the truss.

1127
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:53,680
If you only have one truss, you've got a pretty unstable structure.

1128
00:56:53,680 --> 00:57:00,680
They tried to do a one-truss pedestrian bridge in Florida, so students could get across this

1129
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:03,680
major road to the university.

1130
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:08,680
And when they put the bridge in place, within hours, major cracks were forming.

1131
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:09,680
I remember that.

1132
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:11,680
And then they tried to get up there and fix it.

1133
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:15,680
And while they were trying to fix it, it collapsed on top of a bunch of cars.

1134
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:18,680
It killed one worker and I think six people in it either.

1135
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:19,680
I remember that.

1136
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:22,680
One truss bridge is just incredibly unstable.

1137
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:25,680
This was a little bit after that.

1138
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:27,680
Oh yeah, it was.

1139
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:30,680
But the Minneapolis Bridge was a two-truss bridge.

1140
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:37,680
Now, two is kind of the minimum because if one fails, the whole bridge is going to fail

1141
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:41,680
because you need both trusses.

1142
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:43,680
So that was the flaw.

1143
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:47,680
There are a lot of bridges that will have a third truss right down the middle.

1144
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:51,680
So if one truss fails, you still have the two to support the bridge and keeps it from

1145
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:53,680
the sideways motion, et cetera, et cetera.

1146
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:55,680
There's some bridges that have four trusses.

1147
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:57,680
But this one, they decided to build just two.

1148
00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:02,680
So everything had to work perfectly all the time or the bridge was going to fail completely.

1149
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:05,680
That was kind of the situation they had.

1150
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:07,680
And they were like, yep, that's fine.

1151
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:08,680
Let's do it.

1152
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:09,680
Wow.

1153
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:13,680
So in 1967, they're made there in construction.

1154
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:20,680
And there are places where three or four beams come together along with the main load-carrying beam.

1155
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:23,680
And they use these large plates.

1156
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:28,680
There's gusset plates where they overlap all the different beams and then they're screwed

1157
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:36,680
and riveted down into place with like 30 or 40 different attachments.

1158
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:42,680
Now, these gusset plates, and there were 112 of them on this bridge, these gusset plates

1159
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:43,680
were too thin.

1160
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:45,680
They were supposed to be one-inch plates.

1161
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:47,680
They were half-inch.

1162
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:49,680
So from the beginning...

1163
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:50,680
That's quite different.

1164
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:51,680
Yeah.

1165
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:58,680
From the beginning, the bridge was too weak and the gussets were too strong.

1166
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:05,680
But engineers are taught to think, taught to believe that the beam will fail before the gusset plate does.

1167
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:08,680
Because gusset plates are indestructible, basically.

1168
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:09,680
Yeah.

1169
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:16,680
So when they would inspect the bridge, they would look at the beams and not the gusset plates.

1170
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:18,680
So, okay, fast forward 10 more years.

1171
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:22,680
1977, the bridge has been open for 10 years.

1172
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:26,680
They decided to resurface it because the bridge is getting a little rough.

1173
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:29,680
And also add the de-icing system.

1174
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:38,680
That added 4.2 million pounds of weight to the bridge that was not in the original design.

1175
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:41,680
10 years on and they're adding 4.2 million.

1176
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:43,680
Why would no one ever check on this when they get on it?

1177
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:46,680
They did the bridge inspections, but they only inspected the beams.

1178
00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:48,680
And the beams seemed to be okay.

1179
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:49,680
Wow.

1180
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:55,680
Now the bridge was getting double the traffic load that it was originally expected to hold.

1181
00:59:55,680 --> 01:00:01,680
And the weather had been the worst it had been in decades.

1182
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:07,680
So the winters were really bad and all this was combining the rarest bridge excessively.

1183
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:15,680
And they said at that point in 1977, it was already so badly damaged that every car that drove over it

1184
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:19,680
caused more damage, measurable damage.

1185
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:24,680
And a semi, just for the fact that it was so much heavier in traveling speed,

1186
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:29,680
did 9,000 times the damage of a car.

1187
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:32,680
Now normally semis don't do that much more damage.

1188
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:35,680
Yeah, it's just because the bridge is that bad off.

1189
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:40,680
Every semi was like 9,000 cars in the crowd.

1190
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:41,680
Yikes.

1191
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:46,680
All right, 2003, they do a bridge inspection.

1192
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:48,680
This is four years before the collapse.

1193
01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:54,680
They find vent gusset plates at a certain intersection, U-10 East and U-10 West.

1194
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:57,680
So at the exact same point on either side of the bridge,

1195
01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:05,680
these gusset plates were bowed to the east on both of those intersections.

1196
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:07,680
I think that would be a clue.

1197
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:08,680
You would think.

1198
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:09,680
They even took pictures of them.

1199
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:13,680
And you can see they're bowed, there's like a shallow dinner plate.

1200
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:19,680
And the conclusion of the inspectors was, well, there's no way this could have happened in place.

1201
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:21,680
These must have been bent during construction.

1202
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:23,680
And then they've always been this way.

1203
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:27,680
And they've lasted this long, so no harm, no foul, no problem.

1204
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:30,680
They ignored it.

1205
01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:33,680
Yeah, all right.

1206
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:37,680
2007, three hours before the collapse.

1207
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:42,680
It was at like 6 o'clock, 6.30 in the evening.

1208
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:49,680
Three hours beforehand, construction equipment starts loading onto the bridge to do some more resurfacing.

1209
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:54,680
They start stockpiling gravel, rebar, trucks.

1210
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:56,680
All on the bridge.

1211
01:01:56,680 --> 01:02:01,680
And they park it directly over where the vent gusset plates are.

1212
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:03,680
They have no clue that that's what they're doing.

1213
01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:14,680
That's just where they chose to park everything and load in a few extra thousand tons of equipment and stuff directly on top of that vent gusset plate.

1214
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:21,680
And they said at 6.05 p.m., car number 112 pulls onto the bridge.

1215
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:24,680
There were 111 cars on the bridge.

1216
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:28,680
When car number 112 pulls onto the bridge, it collapses.

1217
01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:29,680
Pow! Pow! Pow!

1218
01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:33,680
Just instantly. You see on the video that at U-10...

1219
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:36,680
You can see the straw, the rope, the cameras.

1220
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:37,680
One extra car.

1221
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:38,680
One extra car.

1222
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:39,680
Yeah.

1223
01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:41,680
In the grand scheme of things, right?

1224
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:42,680
Yes.

1225
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:43,680
Wow.

1226
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:52,680
And the fail happened at U-10, the joint with the broken vent gusset plates.

1227
01:02:52,680 --> 01:03:02,680
And it snapped and fell instantly and about half a second later, the northern end of the bridge collapsed too because it couldn't handle this drain of weight.

1228
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:06,680
So that whole section just plummeted down into the Mississippi.

1229
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:07,680
Wow.

1230
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:12,680
Which, oddly enough, in Minneapolis is kind of fast moving and mostly clear.

1231
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:16,680
You can actually see, you know, water. It's not a big, round muddy mess.

1232
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:18,680
And it's not nearly as wide.

1233
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:19,680
Yeah.

1234
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:25,680
So it took a total of seven seconds to fully collapse from the start to the beginning.

1235
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:27,680
But most of it happened within the first second.

1236
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:28,680
Yeah.

1237
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:39,680
Um, between 1980 and 2012, over a thousand bridges in the U.S. have failed and collapsed.

1238
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:41,680
A thousand?

1239
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:46,680
We haven't heard of about a thousand, have we? No, they aren't telling us.

1240
01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:50,680
But preserving for a long time, I don't know if it still is, was one of our most…

1241
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:51,680
Yes, absolutely.

1242
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:58,680
Our bridges were horrible. And I don't know if they've done anything to crack that or not, but we were like maybe number one or two.

1243
01:03:58,680 --> 01:03:59,680
Yeah.

1244
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:00,680
Way up there.

1245
01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:03,680
I am seeing some bridge and overpass work.

1246
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:07,680
Around here I've been seeing water faxing, so I don't know, maybe they're doing something.

1247
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:17,680
But within the last 15 years, U.S. inspectors have been inspecting in the country the bridges.

1248
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:24,680
They found 60,000 deficient bridges, highway bridges in the U.S.

1249
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:25,680
And here's…

1250
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:26,680
They take for granted those stuff.

1251
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:31,680
Yeah, here's the kicker. 200 million people drive across those bridges every day.

1252
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:38,680
Those 60,000 bridges, that's 200 million people every day risking their lives and most of them have no idea.

1253
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:41,680
Well, here's one for you.

1254
01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:42,680
Yeah.

1255
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:49,680
Down in the Rink of Springs Arkansas, just north of there, Beaver Arkansas is the name for Beaver Lake.

1256
01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:54,680
And all they know, in Beaver Arkansas, is Tableau Lake.

1257
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:55,680
Yeah.

1258
01:04:55,680 --> 01:05:01,680
Okay. They have this thing there, and you can look this up online if you want to, the Little Gold Bingo Bridge.

1259
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:02,680
Oh, cool.

1260
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:03,680
It's all wood.

1261
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:04,680
Oh, wow.

1262
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:07,680
And I wonder about the durability of that though.

1263
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:11,680
Yeah. Yeah, I know what you mean. Down in Warsaw there was…

1264
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:12,680
Oh, yeah, yeah.

1265
01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:13,680
…what they call the swinging bridge.

1266
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:14,680
Yeah.

1267
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:17,680
Yeah, they closed it down and refurbished it. Then they opened it back up again.

1268
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:18,680
Yeah.

1269
01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:20,680
Because a restaurant opened right there next to it.

1270
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:22,680
They opened it back up so you could walk across it.

1271
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:23,680
Yeah. No, no.

1272
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:25,680
But it used to be a car bridge, but now you drive.

1273
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:26,680
It used to be a car bridge.

1274
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:30,680
And also, it was hit by a tornado in like 1860 when the original bridge was torn down.

1275
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:31,680
Wow.

1276
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:35,680
And then they rebuilt it again, and they built the exact same structure, the swinging bridge.

1277
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:36,680
Neat.

1278
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:40,680
And this is over the First States River, which is pretty wide back there because Jackson's

1279
01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:42,680
base had played the role of it.

1280
01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:45,680
Yeah, yeah. They don't let you fish from a bridge.

1281
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:46,680
No, no, no.

1282
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:52,680
But you can walk around the end of the bridge, you can go down and fish off the edge of the

1283
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:53,680
bridge.

1284
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:57,680
Yeah, that place is famous for snag and spoonbill.

1285
01:05:57,680 --> 01:05:58,680
Oh, yeah.

1286
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:04,680
Spoonbill are huge. A lot of them register five, six, seven foot tall.

1287
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:07,680
And you have to snag them because they don't really bite on the down.

1288
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:10,680
Yeah, you just kind of got to troll and try to snag them.

1289
01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:13,680
They have huge trolling hooks and trouble hooks and trolling hooks.

1290
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:14,680
Yeah.

1291
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:16,680
And you either snag one or you don't.

1292
01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:17,680
Yep.

1293
01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:19,680
And I find it very tedious and would never do that.

1294
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:24,680
No, no, you just basically drag these hooks around for hours on end and hope to just...

1295
01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:29,680
When I just grabbed a fucking bowling ball, I thought it was swimming hooks for 10 hours.

1296
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:30,680
Yeah.

1297
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:33,680
Really, the change about is pointless.

1298
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:35,680
Your chance at catching one is about the same too.

1299
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:36,680
Yeah.

1300
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:39,680
I know people that are really good at snag and spoonbill.

1301
01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:41,680
They learn where they lurk.

1302
01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:42,680
Yeah.

1303
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:43,680
Where they sit.

1304
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:44,680
Where they breathe.

1305
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:45,680
Where they fish.

1306
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:48,680
And people who know that know the river can catch them.

1307
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:49,680
Yeah.

1308
01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:55,680
And the thing about spoonbill is it's really almost just a novelty.

1309
01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:56,680
Yeah, they're really...

1310
01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:58,680
Which really is a good meat beaver.

1311
01:06:58,680 --> 01:06:59,680
Yeah.

1312
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:02,680
But there is a designated snagging season.

1313
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:06,680
The conservation department regulates them and knows how many you can take and pay for

1314
01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:07,680
the licenses.

1315
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:09,680
There's plenty of these spoonbill.

1316
01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:10,680
Yeah.

1317
01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:12,680
They're very primitive looking fish, aren't they?

1318
01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:16,680
They look like they could have been around at the time of the cavemen.

1319
01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:18,680
Very easy to find.

1320
01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:19,680
Yeah.

1321
01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:21,680
They have a huge bill on them.

1322
01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:22,680
It's the name spoonbill.

1323
01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:24,680
And those big giant scales.

1324
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:27,680
Yeah, look up spoonbill too while you're looking at the fucking bridge.

1325
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:28,680
Yeah.

1326
01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:29,680
What was that bridge?

1327
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:30,680
Swinging bridge.

1328
01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:31,680
Swinging bridge.

1329
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:32,680
Yeah.

1330
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:33,680
So, anyway.

1331
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:38,680
One last bridge fact I have for you.

1332
01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:43,680
I remember there was a bridge connecting some of the Florida Keys and I...

1333
01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:45,680
Yeah, that one's going too.

1334
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:46,680
Yeah.

1335
01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:49,680
My grandmother said, this bridge is over a mile long.

1336
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:51,680
And I was like, wow, that's insane.

1337
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:53,680
How can a bridge be so long?

1338
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:58,680
Do you know how long the longest bridge in the world is today?

1339
01:07:58,680 --> 01:07:59,680
Ten miles.

1340
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:00,680
Oh, no, no, no.

1341
01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:04,680
There's an 18-mile bridge that's north of New Orleans.

1342
01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:06,680
It goes for 18 miles over a punch line.

1343
01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:07,680
Yeah.

1344
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:11,680
And I know that because I made that trek many times.

1345
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:13,680
That one is the longest bridge.

1346
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:14,680
Okay, this is in China.

1347
01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:17,680
It's the Danyang Funchon Grand Bridge.

1348
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:20,680
102.4 miles.

1349
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:21,680
Wow.

1350
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:22,680
Over open water.

1351
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:23,680
Okay.

1352
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:24,680
Isn't that insane?

1353
01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:25,680
It is.

1354
01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:26,680
102 miles.

1355
01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:29,680
That would take you like almost two hours to drive across.

1356
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:31,680
That would be insane.

1357
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:32,680
Wow.

1358
01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:33,680
Yeah.

1359
01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:38,680
And we'd like our 18-mile bridge or something.

1360
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:39,680
Yeah.

1361
01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:42,680
Actually, the 18-mile bridge is the most boring bridge in the world.

1362
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:43,680
Yeah.

1363
01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:44,680
It's really...

1364
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:45,680
There's not a whole lot left to see.

1365
01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:46,680
Yeah.

1366
01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:47,680
You hear about those 18-mile bridges.

1367
01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:48,680
It just seems like one of those short bridges.

1368
01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:49,680
It just goes on forever.

1369
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:50,680
And then there are a lot of places that are still left over Katrina.

1370
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:51,680
Yeah.

1371
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:52,680
There's like boats just mangled, the slime on the beach, the modern equipment, all that

1372
01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:53,680
stuff.

1373
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:54,680
If you've ever driven around the northern plains, you'll see signs for wall drug.

1374
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:55,680
Come visit wall drug, the famous wall drug in South Dakota.

1375
01:08:55,680 --> 01:09:11,560
I've never gone on a

1376
01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:14,560
wall drug before.

1377
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:15,560
I don't know.

1378
01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:16,560
I've never been on one.

1379
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:17,560
I've been on one.

1380
01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:18,560
About 10, 15 years ago, they were still there.

1381
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:19,560
Oh, really?

1382
01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:20,560
And there's just tons of signs, some of them kind of clever.

1383
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:21,560
They've been there forever.

1384
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:22,560
But if you go there, it's really disappointing.

1385
01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:23,560
There's just this tiny little hole in the wall with cheap merchandise, junkie merchandise.

1386
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:24,560
And I think one of their claim to fame was they were one of the original places you could

1387
01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:25,560
get a Jackalode.

1388
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:26,560
Yeah.

1389
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:27,560
Which is really cool.

1390
01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:28,560
Yeah.

1391
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:29,560
And I think that's the only place that's still there.

1392
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:30,560
Yeah.

1393
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:31,560
And I think that's the only place that's still there.

1394
01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:32,560
Yeah.

1395
01:09:32,560 --> 01:09:33,560
And I think that's the only place that's still there.

1396
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:34,560
Yeah.

1397
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:41,560
And I think one of their claim to fame was they were one of the original places you could

1398
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:42,560
get a Jackalode.

1399
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:43,560
Yes.

1400
01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:44,560
Which is a Jackrabbit with deer antlers stuck on it.

1401
01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:45,560
Yes.

1402
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:46,560
So.

1403
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:47,560
Yeah.

1404
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:48,560
So that's one of those things that, you know.

1405
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:49,560
Oh, wall drug, let's go to wall drug.

1406
01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:50,560
And then you go there and you're like, yeah.

1407
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:51,560
I think the biggest story was Billy Carter was attacked by a Jackalode, but there's no

1408
01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:52,560
such thing as a Jackalode.

1409
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:53,560
Yes.

1410
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:54,560
Do you remember that?

1411
01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:55,560
Mm-hmm.

1412
01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:56,560
They sent him his own honey and a Jackalode attacked him.

1413
01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:57,560
And the story is completely bogus, because there's no Jackalode.

1414
01:09:57,560 --> 01:09:58,560
Yeah.

1415
01:09:58,560 --> 01:09:59,560
And the story is completely bogus, because there's no Jackalode.

1416
01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:00,560
Yeah.

1417
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:05,560
Jack the Mike the Pact and the story is completely bogus because there's no such thing as a good

1418
01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:06,560
thing.

1419
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:07,560
He must have had a little bit too much billy beer that day.

1420
01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:08,560
He did and I knew that a long time ago and it was horrible.

1421
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:09,560
Yeah.

1422
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:10,560
It tastes like if you took Mugger Banger and mixed it in with any other breast cancer

1423
01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:11,560
like with a little bit of pepper and lime and shit.

1424
01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:16,560
I saw a show recently that's kind of a car enthusiast show and his three hosts went over

1425
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:19,560
to China to be part of the show.

1426
01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:34,760
It's amazing.

1427
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:39,760
What do you think of, what do you picture when you think of a Chinese city?

1428
01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:42,760
Oh, quite huge.

1429
01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:47,760
Sky's favorite, sky next to each other, small.

1430
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:48,760
Yeah.

1431
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:51,760
It's just the city, it's the city I hadn't even heard of and it's just enormous.

1432
01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:56,760
I mean it looks like a much more newer New York.

1433
01:10:56,760 --> 01:10:57,760
It looks like Dubai.

1434
01:10:57,760 --> 01:11:00,760
I mean it's just the wealth is insane in it.

1435
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:09,760
Just this enormous city and as they drove out they started heading down the highway

1436
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:16,760
so they said the Chinese are putting in just thousands and thousands of new miles of highway

1437
01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:25,760
here and it's just this massive nationwide road construction.

1438
01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:33,760
Every say 30 seconds or so you drive under an overhang over the road that takes pictures

1439
01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:34,760
of you.

1440
01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:40,760
Multiple, multiple flash pictures, about seven or eight for each car driving under.

1441
01:11:40,760 --> 01:11:44,760
And about 30 seconds later you're driving under another one so you're driving, you're

1442
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:47,760
constantly having your photograph taken.

1443
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:51,760
And somewhere somebody analyzes all those photographs to see if you've got your seatbelt

1444
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:57,760
on, do you have those hands on the wheel, are you talking on your cell phone.

1445
01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:03,760
They said one of the more common citations they have to issue is people pleasuring themselves

1446
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:07,760
or others while driving.

1447
01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:14,760
Well that reminds me, you know if a man jumps turnstiles and you know where he's going to?

1448
01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:15,760
Then he's hot.

1449
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:20,760
But imagine that in this country if you're driving down the road and more frequently

1450
01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:24,760
than every aisle you were getting your picture taken a couple dozen times.

1451
01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:27,760
Do you think people in this country would put up with that?

1452
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:28,760
No.

1453
01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:30,760
But in China you have no choice.

1454
01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:49,760
One of the troubles that the car hosts got into was they were running out of gas.

1455
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:55,760
So you know these exit signs would say, all the signs are in Mandarin.

1456
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:56,760
So they don't read Mandarin.

1457
01:12:56,760 --> 01:12:57,760
They had no idea.

1458
01:12:57,760 --> 01:13:00,760
So they looked for the little gas pump logo.

1459
01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:02,760
It's like okay this exit, gas pump logo.

1460
01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:08,760
They pull off and the gas station is there but it's under construction.

1461
01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:12,760
So they get back on and they go to the next one and says okay gas station here.

1462
01:13:12,760 --> 01:13:13,760
They pull off again.

1463
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:16,760
The gas station's there but they haven't gotten their fuel delivered yet.

1464
01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:18,760
So they have nothing to sell.

1465
01:13:18,760 --> 01:13:20,760
They go on to the next one.

1466
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:21,760
It's like one after another.

1467
01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:25,760
They put up all the signs saying here's the gas station but they haven't built the gas

1468
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:26,760
stations yet.

1469
01:13:26,760 --> 01:13:31,760
And they finally, they found one and managed to fill up.

1470
01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:35,760
And while they were standing there they said okay we're on this side and we have like three

1471
01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:38,760
lanes going our direction and three lanes going the other direction.

1472
01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:43,760
On the other side of this river is a highway just as big.

1473
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:47,760
A second highway just on the other side of that river.

1474
01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:51,760
That's how many cars they're expecting to have.

1475
01:13:51,760 --> 01:13:56,760
They're expecting their population to just buy millions and millions of cars.

1476
01:13:56,760 --> 01:13:57,760
Wow.

1477
01:13:57,760 --> 01:13:58,760
Yeah.

1478
01:13:58,760 --> 01:14:03,760
Now China currently is the number one producer of cars in the world.

1479
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:07,760
And China is also the number one consumer of cars in the world.

1480
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:12,760
You know they can't even make enough cars to satisfy their own people.

1481
01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:14,760
They have to import cars from other countries.

1482
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:18,760
Because Chinese people are buying cars like crazy.

1483
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:19,760
Yeah.

1484
01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:22,760
Insane.

1485
01:14:22,760 --> 01:14:27,760
Who knew that in 2023 China is becoming the car culture.

1486
01:14:27,760 --> 01:14:33,760
Oh I believe that they've been hid towards, not by their government, but they've been

1487
01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:36,760
hidden towards Western influence for a long time.

1488
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:37,760
Yeah.

1489
01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:39,760
I mean I think it's natural.

1490
01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:42,760
They're trying to find a thing in life because they were a government.

1491
01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:43,760
Yeah, yeah.

1492
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:49,760
They've had a large peasant culture for a lot of their history.

1493
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:54,760
And now I think a lot of the Chinese people are like let's get some of these Western

1494
01:14:54,760 --> 01:15:02,760
conveniences and influences but keep the communist control so no one makes a profit anywhere.

1495
01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:04,760
And that's where the trouble is.

1496
01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:05,760
Yeah.

1497
01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:09,760
See in the US we have trouble that everyone's trying to make more and more profit.

1498
01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:14,760
In China they have trouble that everyone wants more and more bribes and payoffs.

1499
01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:18,760
So you have the same amount of money leakage.

1500
01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:19,760
Yeah.

1501
01:15:19,760 --> 01:15:22,760
Come on let's do it.

1502
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:23,760
Yep.

1503
01:15:23,760 --> 01:15:25,760
All right.

1504
01:15:25,760 --> 01:15:29,760
Two douche bags and a microphone.

1505
01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:34,760
More fun than a taser to the jugular bag.

1506
01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:35,760
Hey.

1507
01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:39,760
Where do they go?

1508
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:42,760
Where are the douche bags?

1509
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:43,760
Oh my God.

1510
01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:46,760
Someone took a dump in the corner.

1511
01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:47,760
Oh geez.

1512
01:15:47,760 --> 01:15:48,760
Glad they're gone.

1513
01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:51,760
Let's just hope they don't come back.

1514
01:15:51,760 --> 01:16:05,760
Man that smells.
