  Speaker 1: Yes! Oh my God. That's exactly. I was, and, and

  Speaker 4: I can't remember what happened, but we had to bump
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: the recording up by two, by a night or two.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: And so I was so worried about ticket sales for
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: that first night.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: And I panic texted Scotty and was like, can I

  Speaker 1: come up bananas?

  Speaker 4: It was so fucking fun. And now that exact special
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: is finally coming out.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: It's funny. I've had people be like, I've had fans
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: email and DM and be like, didn't you record a
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: special in December? Where is that? And I'm like, I know.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I know. I know. Just give me one second.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: It takes so long. It drives me crazy.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: It's crazy.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Well, and I felt really guilty for a little while
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: because at the beginning of.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: The year, I was like, fuck, I'm dragging my feet.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: Because I found it so hard to watch the edit
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: that any time my.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Editors, my production company would be like, all right, we
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: have a pass. Can you review this? Can you give notes?
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I would be like, yeah, definitely. And then like... Three
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: weeks go.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: By and I'm like, yep, yeah, nope, I'm getting, I'm
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: going to give you notes really soon.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get in there and I'm going to
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: watch myself on camera.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: It's hard.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: The amount that you have to re-watch jokes that you're
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: so done with and you don't want to hear anymore.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: But to just make sure it's like, is this the
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: best take of this? Is the second show better? Maybe
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: we can switch that in. It is unbearable. You hate it.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: You end up hating it by the end of the process,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: having watched it so much.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: It's so crazy. It's so crazy. You know what's funny?
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: The nice... So.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: We finished the cut, like, you know, the first cut
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: that we were, like, sending out to people to check
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: out in May. And then we sent it out to
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: a bunch of folks. And I'm so excited to be

• 5:39
  Speaker 4: online presence.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Yes, they are.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: It's so funny that it has to be reignited. It's
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: like Comedy Central was a person who just got busy
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: and then forgot that they happened to run the comedy
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: scene in America.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Do you know what I mean?
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Like, oh, whoopsie doodles. Did we were we were we

  Speaker 4: special that they will have put out in five years
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: holy shit.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Love to hear it. Also on YouTube is the right place.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: It's the right platform. Every single person listening to this
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: has YouTube, everything else in life. You hunt, you go,
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: what is it on? Is it on to be, is
• 6:35

• 6:40
  Speaker 3: just sling? Do I have to have sling blue? And
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: so YouTube is such a great place to reach the
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: widest audience imaginable. Is it on sky dance?
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: I remember my, my first special was with comedy central and,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: And it aired once at midnight, and then the next
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: day it aired at four in the morning, and then
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: it never aired again, and then it was behind a
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: paywall for 10 years. Yeah.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: And so no one saw it. It was just like, oh, wow.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: The bananas were paying that paywall.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: The bananas were like, get me behind that paywall. I
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: got to see that special.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, we did house party for three years and
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: we had 84 new face comics on. And then the
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: way that they didn't pick up seasons four, five, six, seven,
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: like we, we wanted to just keep doing that forever.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: That show, if you knew the budget on that show,
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: it was so cheap to make very fun standup special.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: And I kind of feel like they just said, let's
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: just play friends. Let's just put friends and family guy
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: on instead. And you're like, but you have shows. You
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: don't need to play The Office. You have Workaholics. It
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: was a really weird bail. But I think all those
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: people are gone. I actually know all those people are
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: gone because some of them are like, will you help
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: me get the script together? I'm like, no. You didn't
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: buy my show in 2016. So I'm not helping with shit, man.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: And I think the people who are left at Comedy
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: Central are like, they're sitting there being like, A bunch of, well,
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: not a bunch. The ones who survived are people who
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: care about Comedy Central and care about comedy and care
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: about comedians. And they are like, look, we have big
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: dreams and hopes just like everybody else does. We miss
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: what the brand was just like everybody else does. We
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: want it to come back. We want there to be
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: that presence again just like everybody else.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: And there's, you know, there's a lot of... corporate pressures.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of dynamic. There's a lot of merger dynamics, but.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: The people who are there are like, how can we
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: make shit fun and present? And how can we come
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: back and how can we do fun shit? And I mean, it's, I, I,
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: I feel so lucky to be, uh.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Look. Yeah.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: You're on the front wave of it.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: I'm on, I'm, I'm honored to be the one that
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: they want to come out with that to be the,
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: to be the one that they.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Want to like re restart with.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: Um, and I basically just was like, I believe.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: In you guys. Do you guys believe in me? And
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: they were like, we believe in you. Do you believe
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: in us?
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: And we were, we're both sort of like holding hands
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: and jumping into the void, you know?
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: And, and I'm, yeah, I'm, I'm really, really, really pumped. Nice.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Eyes are down here. I was in a, a writer's
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: room years ago. And the two show runners, one of
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: them came in and he looked a little like sleepy.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: He was like a dad stuff. So sometimes, sometimes the
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: dads have to get up because the kids are puking
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: all night or whatever. So we were like, are you okay, man?
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: He goes, yeah, I had to get up early. My
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: wife is getting breast reduction surgery today. And we were like, oh,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: that's crazy. So he's like, so I drove her. She
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: already got the surgery done. I drove her home. Now
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: i'm here and so you just you know have a
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: long morning along with her and finally somebody had one
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: of the women writers emily was like well how big
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: were her boobs And she goes, or he said, they
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: were eyes. They were size eye breasts. And so we
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: just made the joke all day, my eyes are down here.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: And he had never said that, and his wife had
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: never said that. I'm like, if you have size eye boobs,
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: and you're not saying my eyes are down here, you
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: are missing out on.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, look me in the eyes. Yeah, exactly.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: So.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Sadly, yeah. But that was a weird day. And that
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: joke went around that room all day. And then, of course,
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: at some point it becomes almost like, is this sexual harassment?
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: We need to stop talking about this woman's boobs in
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: this room.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: Are we sexually harassing this woman's husband?
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Have we found a way?
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: And it's legal. And it's legal.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: We're in a room. Anyways, could it be? Tell us.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: About the spooky stuff.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Here we go. Happy Halloween, everybody. It's Halloween week, and
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: this was in grunge.com. Hell yeah. Because we only sample
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: the highest quality publications here, bananas. This is top five
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: scariest Halloween urban legends in the United States. Lots of
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: intro explaining that the supernatural is tied to Halloween.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: We're looking at- That's crazy.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Is it?
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: What?

  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Uh-huh.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Andrew Amelenkix. There's an X at the end. It just
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: goes A-M-E-L-I-N-C-K-X. They really wanted to end that name. They
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: had a C, then they had a K, and then
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: they had an X.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: C-K-X.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Uh, do you think it's what, what could it be?
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Well, is this a given name or is this a,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: is this a chosen name?
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: I think it's, I think it's a given name. It's Andrew.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: I'm a link. I think.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: Best in the biz.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: I guess who would choose that? Who would be like, yeah,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: I write for grunge.com. I'm going to put an X
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: at the end. Yeah. You know what?
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: If it wasn't for the C, it could be just links,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: you know, like L I N K Z. Um, But
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: it's L-I-N-C-K-Z. So there's some silent stuff in there. I
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: don't know if you say the X. You think it's Polish?
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: No. I just wanted to add something to the conversation.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: Thanks.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Here we go.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Sometimes on podcasts, you just got to get in there.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: It's all about talking, man. Doesn't have to make sense.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: It's an audible original.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Have you ever found, because like, have you ever done
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: so many podcasts in a day and then you go
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: out to like a dinner with friends and then you're
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: still in that mode of just like, you got to
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: say something because you got to keep this going. And
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: people are like, why did you just say that?
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: Why are you responding with something that absolutely does not,
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: why are you just validating what I said.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Of, oh, yeah, that's really interesting.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: I used to, I used to teach swimming lessons to
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: ages two to nine. And I would find that after
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: days of teaching swimming lessons, I would then talk to
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: my friends like a child.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I would be like, good job. That's awesome. I'm proud
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: of you.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Honestly, that sounds delightful.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: I should go back to that. Yeah. My friends were
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: not complaining. They were like, stay in this mode. Never
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: go back to your true self.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: I recently read an article that certain people in conversations
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: at the beginning of, say, like a dinner or at
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: a party, there's always a person, and I think it's
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: called anchoring, and it's the person who sets the tone
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: for the entire hang. And if they come in, they go,
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: this is going to be awesome. Then everybody subconsciously is like,
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: this is going to be awesome. Or if someone's like,
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: it's kind of hot and gross out today, then everybody's
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: attitude comes down a little bit.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Interesting. And I realized.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: That's been me my entire life. And my friend Norris
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: the other day was like, that's what you do. When
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: you come in, you go, you know, here we go. Oh,
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: my God, it's so good to see you. And then
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: everybody's like cranks. Kurt's witnessed. If I go to like
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: an Oscars party, I'll just repeat the same phrase the
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: entire night, like big night for Hollywood. And I'll say
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: it 400 times. And at some point people are like,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: shut up.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Are you doing it as a bit?
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: Of course.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: A hundred percent. It is very, very funny. And I
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: try it cause I knew that that was his thing.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: And then I had, I think the last time I
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: was at an Oscar party with you, I had taken
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: like just a very small amount of mushrooms beforehand. Cause
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: I wasn't drinking. And, um, And just, it didn't affect
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: me other than it made me incredibly cold the whole time.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: You mean physically cold or like emotionally cold?
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: No, physically cold.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: Physically cold.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: It was so cold.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: And Kristen has like these walls that are windows that like,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: so she can open up like half of her. Living
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: room to the outside. And she had opened it up
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: while we were watching. And to me, it was just
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: unbelievable that she would open up these doors on this cold,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: cold day.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: It was cold.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: And I had a big jacket on. I was wearing,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: I think, a big blanket I found over my head.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: And then I just kept walking over to Scotty and going... man,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: it's real, real cold in here today.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: You think it's cold?
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Does it seem.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: Cold to you?
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: And I did it maybe like 20 times.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: I loved it.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: And Scotty, did you keep going, big night for Hollywood?
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, or the stars come out on Oscar night. Just
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: something dumb to establish the tone.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Here's my repetitive mushroom. This is short.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: My repetitive mushroom phrase. The one time that I took
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: more mushrooms than I've ever.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Taken in my entire life.
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: The closest I've ever had to like a true bad trip.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I did not mean to take this many mushrooms.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: And I kept saying, and my boyfriend at the time
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: was also on mushrooms, but much less than me and
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: much more experienced than me. And I kept going, I
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: don't know what's happening. And he would go, I do.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: And then I would go, I would like calm down
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: for like 45 seconds. And then truly like less than
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: a minute later, I would, I would have the same
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: thought again.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: And I would go, I don't know what's happening. And
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: he would go, I do. And it was like a
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: very calming, it was nice. It was like, he's like
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: keeping me calm and grounded.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah. But then I learned that as a little, as
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: my anchor phrase. And so then for an hour, I
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: just kept going, I don't know what's happening.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I do. I don't know what's happening. I do. I
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: don't know what's happening. I do. Like imagine me in
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: the corner of a room. This is a crazy person.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: This is a person who should be in a padded room.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: This is, and it's just a, just drugs, man.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: It's the PSA that they need to be putting out there.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: They always do. Like, you're going to cut your hand
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: off if you're using a tractor on drugs. And you're like, no,
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: it's just you're going to be kind of annoying to
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: everybody else for six hours.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: Yep, yep.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's happening. I do. I don't know
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: what's happening.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Inseparable.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: So here's some of the scariest ones of the urban legends.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: I love urban legends, and specifically I love. specific uh
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: you know country specific ones so of course the bunny
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: man of fairfax county do you know about the bunny
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: man scotty do not okay is an urban legend dating
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: back this from virginia uh dating back 50 years in
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: some versions he'd escaped from a mental institution and left
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: skinned rabbits hanging from the fairfax station bridge perhaps as
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: a warning to stay away One Halloween night, some local
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: teens were hanging out under the bridge when the Bunny
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Man attacked and killed them, leaving them in the same
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: condition as the rabbits. In other tellings of the tale,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: the killer was an escaped prisoner who wore a bunny
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: suit while searching for his victims, usually young people, and
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: in still other versions, he was a killer ghost. Some
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: urban legends turn out to be true, and the Bunny
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Man is at least partially based on true events, including
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: an unsolved murder from 1918.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: That August, 14-year-old Eva Roy was found, well, okay, strangled.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Killer was never found, although an escaped convict falsely confessed
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: to the crime. Even stranger, in 1970, there was a
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: man dressed as a bunny suit who terrorized the town
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: of Burke. In the first incident, just after midnight on
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: October 18th, he threw a hatchet through the window of
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: a parked car in which a couple was sitting. That's
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: a classic horror movie trope. Neither victim was hurt in
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: the incident. A few weeks later, the Bunny Man vandalized
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: an unoccupied house with an axe and threatened a security guard.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: The police recovered the hatchet. We're never able to identify
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: the Bunny Man. Louisiana's Devil's Toy Box. Anybody know about
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: the Devil's Toy Box?
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: No, I don't. That just sounds like something you would
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: find in a cheap motel in the corner.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: That was their intimacy kit?
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the intimacy kit, the devil's toy box.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it does sound like a store that you pull
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: off of like, you know, Highway 80 and there's like
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: a big billboard that's like, come to the Devil's Toy Box.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And you're like, God damn it, there's going to
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: be the ugliest truckers in this store.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah. You're like, and who is buying these French ticklers?
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Why are they still by the register? Is that an
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: impulse buy? Is that Trident for sex shop shoppers?
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Are French ticklers a condom with a feather at the
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: top of it? That's the only thing.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Or like a rubber thing at the top of it.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: It has like a little thing.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Okay. What everybody wants.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Wait, but it's at the end of the... Oh, which
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: end of the condom? At the tip?
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't make any sense. So it just gets smushed?
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah. That's right. Do you need more stuff up there?
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Is that what we're going for? We need a more
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: complicated thing going in there.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Have you ever wanted your cervix to be tickled? Because
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: that's what everybody loves.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Have you ever wanted to add something inside?
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: No.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: I'm fine.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Not at all. And it's weird and it tickles. I
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: bet it doesn't. Also, why is it French?
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Um.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is interesting how much the French were connected
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: to sex, like French kissing. And then there's that whole
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: thing about like the French call orgasms a tiny death.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: Like that whole thing. Ménage à trois.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Ménage à trois. That's another one. That's right.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: Like the only French most Americans can say is ménage
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: à trois.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: And omelette.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: And omelette.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: See?
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Louisiana is a state rife with scary urban legends. There's
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: the rogueroo, a werewolf-like creature said to roam the bayou
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: of southern... You know about that, Scotty?
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: No, I just assume all these are real, by the way.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Then there are the numerous legends of New Orleans,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: including the voodoo queen, Marie Laveau, who is supposedly gifted
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: with supernatural powers.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: French. Another French hornball.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: I haven't talked in three minutes, and what I just
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: said was French. I'm busy trying to brainstorm other French
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: sex terms, and I just hear Marie Laveau.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: That's a French word.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: Fiance, that's French.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, here it is.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. We were kind of close, guys.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: Listen.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: But there are also newer urban legends that have spread
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: via the Internet, and one is the story of the
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Devil's Toy Box. According to the tale, there's a now-closed
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Halloween attraction in an unnamed place in North Louisiana that
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: will drive anyone who enters insane. It's a shack lined
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: with mirrors where Satan appears, steals your soul, and may
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: even flay you alive. There is something actually called a
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: devil's toy box, a six-sided mirror box that some paranormal
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: researchers use to try and record or capture supernatural entities.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: But in the case of this particular urban legend, there
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: is a solid source of its origin.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: I love the term paranormal researcher as opposed to a
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: wacko with an old radio that's broken.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: That they walk around an empty house with. I know. Yeah.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: It's research.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: I'm doing research. Like, you can call anything research.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: I could be walking around one of those truck stop
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: porn shops and be like, well, it's research.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: I'm researching this.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, you got that right.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: I research forbidden liminal spaces, primarily porn shops. Okay, but
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: in the case of this particular urban legend, Solid Source...
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Likely starred in 2015 horror story by writer Joe Farrelly
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: that appeared on the website Thought Catalog. Even so, thanks
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: to the internet, this one is an urban legend that
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: just won't die. That's cool. There's three more. Do we
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: have time for all of these?
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: Why not? It's a Halloween episode.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: Can I just say, here's what stopped me for the
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: last three minutes was I was like, I want to
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: figure out a riff back about the bunny man. There's
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: so many of them that it's like they bred like rabbits.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: And I've been spending the last three minutes being like,
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: how do I write the joke?
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: How do I get that back in here?
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: How it's the bunny. It's the bunny babies. It's the bunny. Anyway,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: just want.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Everybody to know. As a cryptid thing, I like like
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: a local cryptid thing that just breeds so fast like bunnies.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: So then you see two of them and then you
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: go back outside and there's six of them. Then you
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: go back outside, there's 18 of them. You go, that
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: is a really cool, scary thing. I like that. I'm
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: sure there's a horror movie like that already, but if not,
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: there you go. I think that's a cool trait for
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: a scary thing.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Right now, folks, Scotty is completely frozen mid-sentence. And now
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: he's gone. He's completely gone. Do you want to hear
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: a little bit more?
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: I do. I do.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: So far, you know, I was worried that I was
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: going to be scared by these because I have a
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: very low fear threshold. I walked out of Spider-Man 1
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: because it was too scary when the Green Goblin, when
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: Willem Dafoe turned into the Green Goblin. I was 11
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: and I whispered to my mom and my.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Sixth grade friend, I'm going to wait outside.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: And I walked into the movie theater lobby and they
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: came out a couple minutes later and they were.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Like, we're not going to watch the movie without you.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: Um, but so I was worried that I was going
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: to be afraid. And so far I have not been afraid.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: So yeah, please hit me with more.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: I do remember also being, I'm trying to think like
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: my scary movie experience. Um, I think like, I think
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: my first scary movie, my mom took me to when
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: I was very young, I think like five, six, seven,
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: which was a Stephen King movie called Christine, which was
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: about a car that murders people. And I didn't really
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: understand most of it. Um, But I remember when I
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: was 12, I went and saw the movie Aliens. And
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Aliens is pretty, it's not as scary as Alien, but
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: like Aliens is still pretty scary, but it's also like
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: an action movie as well.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: But I spent the whole time like curled up like
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: gripping my uncle's girlfriend who was probably like, like a
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: new girlfriend. She had this like 12 year old, like
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: holding onto her.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's so funny and cute. That, and that's, that's
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: another fun litmus test. Did they stay together? Did the
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: uncle and the girlfriend stay together?
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Do you feel like that was, yeah. Do you
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: think that was your fault?
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: No, she was just like, I want to get a,
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: I want to get a man as emotionally available as
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: this young boy. one who's sensitive yeah yeah.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: One who needs me one who looks to me for comfort.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Because that's what every woman wants is just to be
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: the old the emotional comfort.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: For a man.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: All right you ready to get into idaho's killer.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Let's see yeah is it the college guy.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Uh no it is not surprising because this was i
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: think an older article Another more recent urban legend relates
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: to what's been dubbed the Halloween Massacre, which supposedly took
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: place in a small Idaho town in 1962. That night,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: a group of masked teenagers, unbeknownst to them, one of
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: the guests wearing a homemade creepy grinning black hooded mask
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: was a bloodthirsty killer. He looked around. I don't understand this.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: He locked everyone inside the house before murdering seven of
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: them and making his escape. while the FBI later found
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: the mask, they never caught him. Is this Scream?
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Is that the plot of Scream? That's really scary.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: But I mean, like, the mask and everything, and it's like,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Scream is, like, they're having, like, a party at the house, right?
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: And then there's somebody who keeps calling, and that's the
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: mask guy, right?
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, I've never seen Scream.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: You worked with two people who have died. I think
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: I saw....
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: I know, all I know is the call is coming
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: from inside the house.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know anything else.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: This is another urban legend disseminated through the internet. Apparently
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: began with an old photograph that was turned into a meme.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: This is interesting, too. How many horror things now are
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: originating on the internet, like Slenderman and the whole backroom's
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: liminal space idea, too. Scotty, you're back.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: I'm blaming the heat for everything. It's 99 degrees.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: My god.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: We should have done a podcast, Kurt, when we started Bananas.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: We should have started a cousin podcast that was us
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: just reading Nextdoor and WhatsApp group chats. Because I'm in
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: my neighborhood WhatsApp group chat. And the amount of times
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: the internet goes down in Los Angeles and these older
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: folks are like, AT & T' s out. Spectrum's out. This
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: is out. It's so constant that I'm like, are we
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: in a first world country? All of us can't keep
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: our internet going. All over this place. Anyways, we should
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: have done one because the complaints from these people are just,
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: it's fabulous. It's so good.
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: But I just contributed.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: It was a missed opportunity, wasn't it? It really was.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: Well, oh well. That's what we need. More podcasts. That's
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: what the world needs.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Welcome back. Welcome back. We're happy to have you.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: You want me to do a scary story?
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, why not?
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, spook us.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: I have some sweet ones, but also I have one
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: kind of like, well, I'll do. I'll do a very
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: dumb one. Okay. First, I'll do a dumb one. This
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: one was sent in by Rebecca Johnson. You can send

  Speaker 3: You gotta think big. You gotta aim high. Tell me
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: how big. Okay, British Gardener. A British Gardener has once
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: again set a new world record by growing the largest
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: pumpkin ever produced. Ian or Ian Payton, 65 years young,
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: we needed to know, Said he was delighted after claiming
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: the world title in his very first season competing without
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: his twin brother, Stuart.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Did he kill Stuart?
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: What happened to Stuart? He was crushed by a giant pumpkin.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: He fed Stuart to the pumpkin.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: To the pumpkin. Yeah, how do you think you get
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: the pumpkin so big?
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Stuart was moving a pumpkin and it rolled backwards on it.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: That's what happened.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: I hope that's not true. We'll get to that. I
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: really do, too.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Iron.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: Why do you keep saying Ian?
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Do you think that British people are not called Ian?
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: Some are called Ian.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: No.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: What?
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: Ian Ziering from 90210.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Aren't you naming an LA zip code?
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Ian Payton. Ian spent six hours every day tending
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: the 2,856.8 pound specimen of which weighs roughly the same
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: as a female hippopotamus.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: It's so big, guys. It's bigger than you're picturing.
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: Do you think a female hippopotamus is insulted to be
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: compared to the world's largest pumpkin?
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: Do you think she's like, are you calling me fat?
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: Hey, pumpkin.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Also, don't hippopotamus eat pumpkins? Isn't that like one of
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: the things they like to chomp on?
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Oh. They love them.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Also, isn't it pronounced pump-kine?
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: In England, it's pumpkin. I and pumpkin. So this guy, Mr. Payton,
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: now has grown the three heaviest pumpkins ever recorded. This
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: man has a passion.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: He has five of the top ten of all time.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: That's crazy.
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: Does that mean that no one else is really trying
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: to compete? Yes.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Everybody else is like, just let this guy have it.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: Let him have it.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: He's really good at it. I mean, yeah, if you're
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: this good at something, go get it. He's only 65.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: He could be doing this for another 35 years. No problem.
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: He could be breaking new frontiers in pumpkin size that
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: we have.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Not ever imagined.
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: It's like, why not? Go for it. I hope next
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: year he goes 2,600.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: This man could get to male hippopotamus at this rate.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: Thank you. Thank you.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: I bet you the female's bigger in the hippopotamus thing.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: This is a spider situation.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of different things. This could be a,
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: what is that big fish that we were just talking
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: about last time? The lanternfish. The lanternfish is the size
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: of my head, and then the male is this big.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: It's like the size of my pinky.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: They've got it right.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: Yes, male hippos are slightly heavier and larger than females,
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: but only 5% to 30% depending on the reference source.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: Males can weigh up to 35, between 3,500. This can't
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: be right. It says that male hippos can weigh up
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: to 9,920 pounds. How is that possible?
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: 9,000 pounds?
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: I don't even understand that as a weight. Five tons?
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: I didn't know that. Is that right?
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Wow, look at that.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to think.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Good conversion, Chloe.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: A math major.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: Oh, really?
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Like a big, yeah, really. And all they.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: Taught us was how to convert hippos to tons.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: To tons.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Tonnage.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Sometimes they would just flash a hippo and you had
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: to be like, four and a half tons.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: And then they'll flash other objects and we have to
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: measure it in hippos.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: 0.8, 0.28 hippos. Yeah.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: What was that little pygmy hippo that everybody loved? Moondang.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Moondang.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: Boy, that. had its 15 minutes of family.
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: Do you feel like Mudang is another victim of the
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: infantilization of women that we only like women when they
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: look like children?
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: No comment. I only like women when they don't look like.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: That's me too. Mudang became a woman and then we're like,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: fuck her. We don't give a shit about her.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: Now she's just a hippo. I go with that.
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: I think that's what happened.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: A hundred percent. You know what? This guy's growing drama
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: reminds me of my growing drama.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: Oh, what?
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: Here's my question to you. This has perplexed me. So
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: I have, in my front yard, I have a tree
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: of paradise growing out of kind of a section that
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: has a lot of ornamental plants in it. And do
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: you guys know what a tree of paradise is?
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: It's a sex stop on I-80.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: It's right next to the devil's toy box.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, sign me up.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: So it's an invasive species from Asia, and they grow everywhere.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: They have them in L.A., they have them in New Jersey,
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: and they're everywhere. They out-compete everything in America. And here's
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: the thing that happens with them, which is crazy, is
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: if you cut them down... They panic and then they
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: shoot like thousands of things underneath the ground so that
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: like thousands more trees will grow right there if you
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: just cut them down. So the way to kill them
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: is like really cuckoo crazy. It's like bamboo. You have
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: to like slit them in four separate places and then
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: apply herbicide so it like draws it into the roots
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: and then kills it. You have to pull it out.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: It's so crazy. So anyway, I didn't know any of this.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: I pointed it out to a tree guy. And I
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: was like, what's this? Is this a nice tree? Should
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: I just let this grow here? Because I wanted a
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: tree in my front yard. And he's like, no, it's
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: a tree of paradise.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: Get rid of it.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: I was like, okay. So I chopped it. My phone
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: was in my pocket, muffled. There's no way that my
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: phone heard this guy who was outside, probably 10 feet
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: away from me, say it was a tree of paradise.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: I haven't spoken to my wife about the tree of paradise.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: Why would you?
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: All I did was I chopped it down.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: My Instagram feed is full of Tree of Paradise content
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: of just people cutting down Tree of Paradise, which is
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: a whole world of Instagram that I didn't know existed.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: How the fuck is my phone spying on me at
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: that level? Is it using Google Maps to see my
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: property and see that I have a tree of paradise? Like,
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: how is it getting it? There's no, I didn't make
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: any purchases. I didn't, no one's around me purchased it.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: No one said it. I haven't spoken about it. It
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: was mentioned to me once and it was outside of
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: my phone. It was in my pocket. I can't imagine
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: how it did that.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Don't you think it's the tree itself?
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: Yes, I do.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: It's at A Thousand Roots. A Thousand Roots, right over
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: to the AT & T store, got a new iPhone.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah. But you didn't use a credit card to buy
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: a herbicide?
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Nope, I have not bought herbicide because I was like, herbicide?
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: That seems fucking intense. Also, I don't want to kill
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: all the other stuff that's in that spot.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: Didn't your phones know that you were going to have
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: Olive before you told anybody?
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Straight up, but I figured out how that happened.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: Because... We went to a CVS, and I stayed inside,
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: so I never went inside the CVS, but my wife
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: went inside the CVS, and she brought a pregnancy test
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: kit with a credit card. And because our phones are
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: near each other, it knows that she bought the pregnancy test,
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: so then it started sending me, like, dad content pretty
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: quickly after I found out I was going to be
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: a dad.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: So scary.
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: But there was no purchases here. Anyway, if any Bananimals
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: have any idea, if you're in tech and know how
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: my phone knows this, please, please DM me. I would
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: like to know.
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: You don't think it's just that it probably, the phone
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: microphone probably did hear him say Tree of Paradise?
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: He said it once outside, 10 feet away. It was
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: in my pocket. I just don't, I don't buy it.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: It was said once. You know what I mean? I
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: I looked them up. Those are very familiar on the
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: East Coast. Those things are everywhere. And they're not that great.
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: They're not like, sometimes I don't understand weeds. You know,
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: like here we have invasive mustard grass and it's yellow
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: and it's like beautiful and everybody always is like, that's
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: an invasive species. I'm like, I kind of like it.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: I think it looks nice.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: I heard the story of how it all got here.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: Do you know this story?
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: No.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: It was fucking missionaries and they would, they're on their
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: walk between like churches in missions. They would throw mustard
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: seed plants mustard seeds along the path so that the
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: next time they came back, like in 10 years.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: They could follow the path?
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: And it would just be a golden path going.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: From one to another. The original internet. That's the internet.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: They invented the World Wide Web. Missionaries were the original internet.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, that idea sort of rocks.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: I know. It's a pretty cute idea.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, it's actually really kind of very cool.
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: That's how you should advertise your special. You should do
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: mustard seed to YouTube on people's– it's just– you've got
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: to think outside the box.
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: I just am going to try and– I'm going to
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: go up and down every single person's driveway, spread mustard seed,
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: and then in 20 years– They're going to be like, now,
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: where does this lead?
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: This leads to.
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: Comedy Central's stand-up YouTube, not Comedy Central's YouTube.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: Comedy Central's stand-up YouTube.
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: Tree of Paradise, what a deceptive name, too, because when
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: it's an invasive animal, it always has the craziest, most
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: demonic name. It's always Snakehead Fish or, you know, this.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: Fishhead Snake.
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. The only other interesting thing I'll say about
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: this guy, our homeboy. It was growing 40 centimeters a
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: day in every direction.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: That's fucking crazy.
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: It's 2.2 centimeters per inch.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Sorry, not the tree of paradise here.
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: Conversion queen, how much is 40 centimeters in inches?
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: 40 centimeters. It's the size of a hippo's dick. I
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: know that.
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: Thank you. Educational podcast.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: In all directions.
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: A hippo's dick is just a perfect sphere.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: That would make sense. Honestly, that would make perfect sense.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: Could it be you want to tease us into some thumbs-ups?
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? It's Bananas After Dark? I sure do.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: And since it's Bananas After Dark, we're going to get
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: into this.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: Here it is.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: It is porn's most popular Halloween-related search terms for 2026.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: Oh, I like that. That sounds good. Okay, Kurt and
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: I are thumbing up our good friend, Jake Brown, who's
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: running for Denver City Council.
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: Jake's a great guy. We love Jake Brown.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: Do we know Jake Brown?
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a good friend. And he even dressed up
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: as a clam named Chowdy Doody at Bananas Fest. So
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: we obviously endorsed him.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: And we forced him to do it. He did not
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: want to be Chowdy Doody that day, and we made
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: him do it.
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: It was awesome.
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: But now, soon, those pictures will come out and will
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: undermine his city council campaign.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: No, it's cool. We all have big elections coming up,
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: and sometimes when it's your district election, sometimes you don't
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: know these names. So what we're saying is if you
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: live in Denver and you're a voter, which obviously open
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: animals are, and you go, I don't know all these
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: people's names. If you see Jake Brown, that's our guy.
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: He's a great human being. You could help the city.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: Lisa is thumbing herself up for finally getting tenured after
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: 10 years of teaching. She bounced around a lot from
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: school to school. She was finally able to work in
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: one place long enough She's celebrated by buying a Andy
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: Warhol screen print. Fantastic.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: That's cool.
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: Congratulations. Thumbs up, Lisa.
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: I think for a long time, I did think that
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: getting tenured meant you spent ten years somewhere.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: I got tenured.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: It's funny that it sounds exactly like that. And I'm
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: sure it usually took ten years.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: I love the tradition of buying art.
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: That's my, whenever I finish a project, I buy art
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: for myself or like something like I bought like a
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: crazy kettle, like a tea kettle. That's like super designed
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: and weird where it's like, this is a thing that
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: I can have forever. Yeah.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: And it reminds you of that, of that accomplishment.
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: That is nice. Years and years ago, 2015-ish, I'd sold something.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: And it was a pretty good sale. It was either
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: a TV pilot or a movie script. And I was
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: dating a woman who was an actress. I think the
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: last actress I ever dated, actually. And she was like,
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: what are you going to do to celebrate? I was like,
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: literally nothing. She's like, you have to do something. I
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: was like, I've never done anything. Because the level of
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: rejection is so constant that Even when you sell something,
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: like a pilot, so exciting. We get to write it.
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: We get to shoot it. It's not going to go
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: to series grade. All those dreams get dashed. That money
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: goes away quickly. She's like, Scotty, you have to learn
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: to celebrate any victory. So what I used to do is,
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: I've changed it slightly in the last few years, but
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: if I got the news, the deal is closed. They're
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: moving ahead. It's going to be a thing. I used
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: to smoke one cigarette, something Kurt will tell you, I
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: never I don't smoke cigarettes. Never does. I mean, truly
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: never do. And I would do a shot of tequila
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: and that would be it. And the only reason I
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: did the cigarette is because I don't do it, but
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: it lasts a little bit longer than a shot. So
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: I would sit on my balcony and be like, congratulations,
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: you did something good. This is your moment. Now I
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: just don't do the cigarette. Now I just do a shot.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: It's so funny to use a cigarette as a reward.
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: I thought it was going to be like you used
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: to smoke and you never smoke anymore.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: And this is your all out. Nope. You're just like.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: Don't even enjoy them.

  Speaker 3: Yeah, and my hand.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: As a congrats to me.

  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yes.
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: It just was like I'm going to do something to
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: market that is like out of my normal life. And
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: so that was my thing for, I don't know, eight years.
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: And the other thing is it's like I would make
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: one sale a year, two sales a year. So it's
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: not like I was going through a pack. A pack
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: of cigarettes would last me five years. Anyways, shout out

  Speaker 4: This is a very self-serving thumbs up. I mentioned this

  Speaker 4: to you guys before we were recording. So in honor
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: of my special eyes down here, Yes.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: Comedy Central.
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: So I figured out where my high school and college
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: crushes live and work.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: Now back in the Twin Cities.
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: That's amazing.
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: And Comedy Central put up billboards at the intersections.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: Where they live and work.
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: No way.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: To make them feel bad for not having crushes back
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: on me in high school and college. Dude, rep.
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: I went back to Minnesota and filmed in front of
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: those billboards and those videos are up on my page now.
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: So that's, I guess the thumbs up, I guess I'm
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: thumbs upping myself now. for, I should be thumbs upping
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: myself for, for, you know, being out of their league now,
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: except I think the reality is I'm still doing these
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: desperate cries for attention for the attention of my high
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: school and college crushes. So actually I think I'm thumbs
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: upping them for being so like cool and hot and
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: compelling still that I'm still obsessed with them.
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: There you go. Thumbs up to those guys keeping out
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: for those billboards. Look at her go.
