Latest / Questionable Detour / Lifting 900 hamsters, Highway fatalities by a dog driving a car, and pulling objects from your underwear
Transcript
- 0:00Excuse me, what is going on here?
- 0:04But first we're gonna make a little detour.
- 0:09So absurd, so questionable.
- 0:12Yeah, I guess we're just the weirdos.
- 0:15Expect the detour.
- 0:25What's too much underwear? Like before, like what's too little underwear?
- 0:28So not a, not a quantity of how many pairs of underwear are too much for you to wear.
- 0:33Quantities too, you can answer that question.
- 0:35But like, we have such specific types of underwear.
- 0:39And all of them are relatively sociable acceptable.
- 0:42Where does it stop?
- 0:43I think the, the fast food bag is probably where it stops.
- 0:47I don't, I think everybody can agree that that one's frowned upon.
- 0:52Don't use that.
- 0:53Do you have like the extra fries in there?
- 0:55Or keep them warm?
- 0:57Yeah.
- 0:59Imagine, imagine, just like, man, I am famished.
- 1:03And you go dig it, rooting around like a truffle pig.
- 1:07And you pull out a fry.
- 1:08Get you a tank fry.
- 1:10Pop that bad boy in.
- 1:12Oh man.
- 1:14Someone's like, I'm, I'm hungry.
- 1:16I haven't eaten.
- 1:17And then they just see you searching for gold and you give them a fry.
- 1:21Like what's their reaction to that?
- 1:23Nobody's like wants you to pull fries out of your, or any food really out of your underwear.
- 1:29It's not limited to fries.
- 1:30I think you, you see somebody digging and it goes straight to your mouth.
- 1:33Your immediate thought is disgust.
- 1:34You're probably not thinking, oh, that's a fry.
- 1:36That's a, that's a secondary thought.
- 1:39Once you realize what's going on.
- 1:41The thing is too, how are you ensuring that the fries aren't falling out?
- 1:45Cause you could just be leaving a handle and Gretel trail like back to your house.
- 1:50So I can just like picking up breadcrumbs and find you.
- 1:53That's the only thing preventing you from having fries in your underpants is a
- 1:57possibility that somebody could track you.
- 1:59Yeah.
- 1:59I like to keep a certain level of stealth about me.
- 2:03And the crunching of the bag as you move your legs and the frot, your taint fries
- 2:08falling out is too much.
- 2:10Isn't that stealthy enough?
- 2:11Evan's worried about a cartoon detective following him around.
- 2:15With a double-sided hat.
- 2:16And the, uh, the big magnifying glass.
- 2:19Like why does he need a magnifying glass of fries?
- 2:21Aren't microscopic, you know, like they're probably, you get to look at them.
- 2:25He's just a detective with bad eyesight at that point.
- 2:27What's the second weirdest thing if we're, we'll say, okay, fries, number one
- 2:33weirdest thing to pull out of your underpants, right?
- 2:35Just in public.
- 2:37What's the second weird?
- 2:37I mean, other than your genitals, that, that should be number one.
- 2:40I let me go back.
- 2:42There's an asterisk there.
- 2:43Let me go back.
- 2:43It's, it's just, yeah.
- 2:45Obviously that's number one.
- 2:46So fries are number two.
- 2:47What's number three?
- 2:48Like what's the third weirdest thing that you're like, ah, I just pulled this out of his pants.
- 2:53And I guess we're excluding prison rules, right?
- 2:56Cause prison's a different game and that storage, you know,
- 3:02So in prison, somebody pull out like, you know, a key fob to a Toyota Corolla.
- 3:06And you're like, yeah, obviously that would be in there.
- 3:10Yeah.
- 3:12That's where his cubby is.
- 3:13That's just where he stores his things.
- 3:15If you're in prison, it's like a kangaroo.
- 3:17It's much more normal, I think for somebody to probably carry things in their underwear in prison,
- 3:23then it would be out and about.
- 3:25Okay.
- 3:25Well then let's, let's exclude prison rules.
- 3:27Then I didn't realize those are had such an impact on this discussion.
- 3:31Astric to Astric now.
- 3:33Okay.
- 3:33So yeah, yeah.
- 3:34Number one, Astric next to general's number one thing.
- 3:36You can't pull that out in public and then prison rules.
- 3:38Yeah.
- 3:39Okay.
- 3:39Okay.
- 3:40I'm glad we said the prayer.
- 3:41The parameters to this discussion.
- 3:43Then what's the third thing?
- 3:44Like what's the next weirdest thing?
- 3:46I think a hedgehog.
- 3:47I think that honestly, that would be a very weird thing to kind of pull out of your pants to be like,
- 3:52Hey, I found this.
- 3:56Like you were confused.
- 3:56Like you didn't put it there.
- 3:58You just found it there.
- 3:59Like Alan, why are you walking like that?
- 4:02And you're like, hold on, let me investigate.
- 4:05But you get the guy, you get the cartoon investigator to come investigate for you.
- 4:09You know, root around there with a magnifying glass.
- 4:13And he's like, Oh, there's a hedgehog in here.
- 4:14That would be weird.
- 4:15You're looking at uncomfortable, but also very much alive.
- 4:20So a lot of movement.
- 4:22Weird on two levels there.
- 4:23I would think it would be something like a portable fan.
- 4:26You would get an amusement park because you pull it out.
- 4:28Yeah.
- 4:29What was it doing down there in the first place?
- 4:32Second of all, when you turn that on, you're just blowing your crotch fumes into your face.
- 4:36Let's see.
- 4:37It's a July day here in the South.
- 4:39I mean, if you've got a portable fan down there, you're probably thinking smart.
- 4:43Yeah.
- 4:43Yeah.
- 4:43But to immediately go to your face and be like, maybe you're blowing some loose hairs
- 4:48in your face.
- 4:49Oh, some sweat that got on it.
- 4:52You know, thanks.
- 4:54Is that what we're happy with?
- 4:55I mean, we're okay with it.
- 4:57It's weird, but it is the weirdest.
- 4:59No, I think we were saying taint fries were definitely number one.
- 5:02Yeah.
- 5:02Where we go hedgehog versus pet.
- 5:05We go hedgehog versus portable fan.
- 5:07I do say it's weird to have any animal in your pants.
- 5:11I don't think it's specific to hedgehogs, but also weird to have machinery in your pants.
- 5:15Another layer with the hedgehog is when you're saying, I got that hog in my pants.
- 5:23There's going to be confusion as to which one you're talking about.
- 5:25Yeah.
- 5:26Yeah.
- 5:26Yeah.
- 5:26So, but what if you're like a famous pop star and you're like, I have fans in my pants all the time.
- 5:33Oh, yeah.
- 5:34Okay.
- 5:34Then you just look like a common street whore.
- 5:39You say that like an old Baptist pastor, like just any woman that wears leggings.
- 5:45What about some fireworks?
- 5:47Just like a roaming candle.
- 5:51Like a whole sleeve of firecrackers.
- 5:53Yeah.
- 5:54Those little balls that just pop when you throw them on the ground.
- 5:56You never know when it's going to go off.
- 5:59I mean, that would be kind of a crazy situation.
- 6:01You see somebody rooting around in their nether regions and they just pull out one of those
- 6:06little pop balls and throw it on the ground like a magician.
- 6:11You just get like a Roman candle out and just start spraying into people's chests, you know,
- 6:17as it whizzes by their face.
- 6:19They're like, oh, that's not the weirdest thing.
- 6:20This is violent.
- 6:21Yeah.
- 6:22That's that.
- 6:23That is the equivalent of being like, what if you took out a switchblade knife and just stab somebody?
- 6:28What's weirder in that situation?
- 6:30You think stabbing is the equivalent of light harassment?
- 6:34I think I'm just saying, I can just say the weirdest part is that the pants,
- 6:39the weirdest part is the violence.
- 6:41When they when they take a knife out, they've got one thing in mind.
- 6:44They're they're going to to inflict pain.
- 6:47They're not going to like cut an apple or something like there's nothing shocking
- 6:50about them stabbing somebody.
- 6:51What a twist though, is they pull out a knife.
- 6:54You think they're about to stab you.
- 6:56They go back in.
- 6:57They go back into the pants.
- 6:58Pull out an apple.
- 6:59Yikes.
- 6:59And they're eating off a taint blade.
- 7:03I think at that point, would you call that a circumcising the apple?
- 7:07If you pulled it from your pants?
- 7:08Yeah, I think so.
- 7:10That's fair.
- 7:11You know, I don't I don't think it's any.
- 7:12I don't think it's.
- 7:13Have we also have we hit our taint quota of how many times we can use the word taint?
- 7:18Yeah.
- 7:18In one episode or is this total?
- 7:20I think I want to say our contract says per episode.
- 7:24Okay, good.
- 7:25Is that like we had to say it this many times?
- 7:27Yeah.
- 7:28Yeah.
- 7:29We've been falling woefully behind.
- 7:30We're catching up now, though.
- 7:32For sure.
- 7:32We're putting it all in one episode.
- 7:34We're really bag weigh in this.
- 7:36It's kind of an annual thing.
- 7:39So this is the taint episode.
- 7:42Welcome to Questions Will Detour.
- 7:44Let's do a hypothetical.
- 7:45Dave, can I pose a somewhat abstract, purely hypothetical question?
- 7:50I guess I want to apologize for asking a hypothetical question.
- 7:54Well, that's a hypothetical question.
- 7:56So they say dogs are man's best friends and people love their dogs almost or more so than
- 8:03their children.
- 8:04So when you hire a dog walker, you are putting your trust in somebody to take care of your
- 8:11four legged companion.
- 8:12And as the three most trustworthy people in the world, we are constantly, I mean,
- 8:18constantly getting people asking us, can you walk our dog?
- 8:22So what do y'all do as a professional, experienced dog walker?
- 8:28For me personally.
- 8:29Well, I asked you the question, so it's always you personally, Evan.
- 8:33You don't have to preface your questions with this.
- 8:36Me personally.
- 8:39And I don't want to speak for you guys.
- 8:40OK.
- 8:41Thank you.
- 8:41Thank you.
- 8:42This is just a me thing, but I'm sure you guys will agree.
- 8:46And I'm going to go ahead and speak for you guys and say you agree with me.
- 8:49OK.
- 8:49One thing we always preach on this podcast is efficiency.
- 8:54So that's kind of the name of the game when I get into dog walking.
- 8:57It's about what can the dogs do for me?
- 9:00Right.
- 9:01Is this efficiency or selfishness?
- 9:04Well, I don't want to waste my time in the day walking some dogs when I could be what,
- 9:10you know, peddling some bikes, bikes or black market jackets that I get from the local stores.
- 9:17You're taking people jacket right off of them, aren't you?
- 9:21Like you're just coming up behind people just yanking on it and just.
- 9:24I have a reputable business and I will not be undermined here today,
- 9:29but I want to get paid for it, of course.
- 9:30Yeah, I mean, yeah.
- 9:31So what I like to do is take the dogs back to my house and I use them as sort of a hamster wheel.
- 9:39I don't like to pay for electricity, so I like to have a dog running on the hamster
- 9:44wheel in my basement at all times to kind of just keep energy pumping through my house.
- 9:48They're not good at it, but if they don't do it, who will?
- 9:51Let me ask you this.
- 9:52How long were you a hamster wheel person to create electricity before you switch the dogs?
- 9:58So I assume you started out with the hamster, right?
- 10:00Like you were like you put a thousand little hamster wheels in your basement.
- 10:04See, that's a different way than where I was going.
- 10:06I thought Evan was the person on the wheel.
- 10:08Yeah, I was the person on the wheel for God's sake.
- 10:11OK, you can look at my calves.
- 10:13But you were holding hamster.
- 10:15See that you're holding hamsters, though.
- 10:18Like you're like, the hamster wheel.
- 10:20Yeah, they're like crawled over my back and on my shoulders and stuff.
- 10:22I just wanted the extra weight on there
- 10:25just to kind of keep the wheel pushing.
- 10:27You chose the weighty, the heaviest animal you could think of.
- 10:32I didn't want that much weight, just like that one or two pounds.
- 10:36It just really pushed me over the weight.
- 10:37One or two pound hamster.
- 10:39No, that's a big hamster.
- 10:41Yeah, multiple hamsters.
- 10:41Oh, OK, so like, OK, adding up.
- 10:43So it was about 16 hamsters on my back.
- 10:45I assume you just threw them in a trash bag and just kind of over your shoulder.
- 10:49It was a mesh bag and they kind of bounced around the whole time.
- 10:54They had fun.
- 10:54And you gauge this by how dead they were.
- 10:58How much they were squeaking the entire time.
- 11:00So anytime you hear a squeak, you think that that's something that thing is expressing joy?
- 11:06They wouldn't make the noise if they weren't happy.
- 11:08So if we open a door and the door squeaks,
- 11:11you think that door is enjoying being opened?
- 11:13Jubilant.
- 11:14It is doing what it's supposed to, you know.
- 11:15Fair enough.
- 11:16And according to Evan, hamsters are supposed to be thrown in a bag and then used as weights.
- 11:21Serving its purpose.
- 11:22Let me ask you this.
- 11:22In your basement, since you consider hamsters to be weights,
- 11:27do you have a whole home gym based around lifting hamsters?
- 11:30I do have a whole fitness routine that centralizes around hamster weight.
- 11:36And I've been trying to do squats lately.
- 11:38Sure. Yeah.
- 11:38I mean, really work on the tight.
- 11:41Yeah, just the gripping thighs that I have.
- 11:46The tight glutes.
- 11:51God, if you don't, they can't see right now.
- 11:52Evan's just standing up, squeezing his glutes.
- 11:56He's creating diamonds with the amount of pressure.
- 11:59He's got one leg on the ground, one on the table.
- 12:03It's absolute flexing.
- 12:05Oh, man, he's sweating too.
- 12:06I oiled up for this, boys.
- 12:09Yeah, we can tell.
- 12:12Don't disappoint.
- 12:14You didn't even open the door all the way.
- 12:15You just kind of squeeze through the crack.
- 12:19So you've been you've been working on your squats.
- 12:22Yeah. How do you do that with hamster weight?
- 12:24Well, you know, I've been squatting about close to three hundred these days.
- 12:29Three hundred hamsters or three hundred pounds?
- 12:31What's the difference?
- 12:32You know, what is the difference?
- 12:34Hey, the producer we have here that's total here.
- 12:37Look up how much a hamster weighs.
- 12:40Three point five to five point three ounces.
- 12:42Thank you.
- 12:43The producer that sounds exactly like Evan.
- 12:48So can you the producer that sounds exactly Evan,
- 12:51how many hamsters would it take to get three hundred pounds?
- 12:54Sixteen ounces and a pound.
- 12:55Sure. OK.
- 12:56You don't have to walk me through the math.
- 12:57You just.
- 12:57So that's three hamsters a pound.
- 12:59So that's and don't don't like try and correct us
- 13:03or try to prove us wrong on this math.
- 13:05It's 100 percent right.
- 13:06You don't have to go check it.
- 13:07This is an educational podcast.
- 13:09Professors want to talk board in here.
- 13:12A large hamster is five point three ounces.
- 13:16It's so solid.
- 13:17Sixteen ounces in a pound.
- 13:19So we're assuming three hamsters per pound.
- 13:24If we're talking three hundred pounds, that's nine hundred hamsters.
- 13:28It's like watching Goodwill Hunting.
- 13:30It's like the janitor that's just doing some crazy math.
- 13:33You and how many how many bushels is that?
- 13:38So right now, logistically for you to squat three hundred pounds with a hamster,
- 13:43so you would somehow have to contain nine hundred hamsters.
- 13:47Yes.
- 13:47How are you going about this logistically?
- 13:49You know, the rolling balls that hamsters have.
- 13:52Absolutely.
- 13:53Imagine that, but about five times the size.
- 13:56I put about four hundred and fifty hamsters in each one.
- 14:00I kind of let them roll through the house and just kind of get a feel for the ball.
- 14:03It's like the ball from Indiana Jones when he's running away from it.
- 14:07Yeah.
- 14:08Four hundred and fifty answers in a plastic ball.
- 14:11Yeah.
- 14:12I want them to get a feel for the ball so they can get comfortable.
- 14:14So when I start lifting, they don't get freaked out because they're not alive anymore.
- 14:19Listen, I don't want them to freak out.
- 14:21So eventually, you know, they roll themselves out
- 14:24and then I hook them on to the end of my bars and I start lifting.
- 14:28You just start squatting.
- 14:29Just start going to town.
- 14:32I say, hammies, look at these gluteus, you know?
- 14:37You're talking to your muscles with a hamster pun.
- 14:40Yeah.
- 14:40Now, you brought us a show and tell situation here.
- 14:43Go to put that dumbbell, the hamster dumbbell on the table.
- 14:46Go to do that for us.
- 14:48Wow. God, that's super heavy.
- 14:50Man, this right here in front of this is dumbbell is not a dumbbell attached
- 14:56to a couple of hamster balls and there's a piece of iron rod that has been sharpened
- 15:00on both ends and you've just just about about seven hamsters on each side.
- 15:05So explain.
- 15:08You got to get them on there somehow.
- 15:10They're quick, but you're quicker.
- 15:15Are you running around your house with just I assume loose hamsters?
- 15:19There's no way if you have as many hamsters as you do, they're not loose.
- 15:22You're just going around, just kind of like stabbing at the floor.
- 15:25It's about the ethics for the hamster.
- 15:27You're big on ethics as you as you skewer answers onto your barbell.
- 15:32I don't want these hamsters to be used for anything, you know,
- 15:38that they wouldn't want to be used for.
- 15:39Right, right, right.
- 15:41So I lift weight with their dead bodies and that's it.
- 15:46Big consent guy.
- 15:48Yeah.
- 15:48I asked each one of them.
- 15:51He lays on his floor on his belly with his legs kicked over, you know,
- 15:54like he's a girl talking on the phone.
- 15:56He's just got my finger to my chair.
- 15:58Yeah.
- 15:59And he just picks one up and was like, are you OK with this?
- 16:01And he goes, the next one, are you OK with this?
- 16:03We're having such a good time.
- 16:05It just goes from hamster on the right picks it up.
- 16:09Are you OK with this?
- 16:10The hamster obviously is not, but does not have the capabilities of speaking the language.
- 16:15It squeaks.
- 16:15It's happy.
- 16:16And then you just stick it on a skewer right to the left.
- 16:19Right.
- 16:19Is that how that works?
- 16:20Pretty much.
- 16:21Yeah.
- 16:21I don't know how I got here.
- 16:23I imagine your workouts are just like a montage, like an 80s montage.
- 16:27I assume it's like a Dolph Lundgren workout where he's just like, you're just shirt off.
- 16:33You don't look like Dolph Lundgren, so it's kind of gross.
- 16:36And like you're sweaty and you're just like lifting different things.
- 16:40And like you have a bunch of hamsters in a trash bag.
- 16:43Like if I pull you with those pulleys and it's just lifting the bag up over a bar
- 16:48over and over and you're just like listening to like 80s, like upbeat 80s music.
- 16:53What's Evan's workout song while he's doing this?
- 16:56I have the tiger, but every time the tiger, like that lyric comes up in the song,
- 17:02it's Evan that he has pre-recorded over that same hamsters.
- 17:05I record it.
- 17:06I distribute it.
- 17:09You wear many hats in the business industry.
- 17:12I've been saying it's economy has been tough.
- 17:14You got to find your footing somewhere from a dog walker.
- 17:17I thought to bring you back around to the dog walking was what was the original question.
- 17:25This is about dog walking for about three seconds.
- 17:27Yeah.
- 17:27I do want to say none of this is my fault.
- 17:31The amount of animal abuse that you've committed.
- 17:35Yeah.
- 17:35Starting to look a little dumber and I don't like it.
- 17:39Don't like the look of my past.
- 17:41Got to say doesn't reflect well in my dog walking business.
- 17:44Hey, here, we're not going to define you from your past.
- 17:47Only what you're becoming.
- 17:49Yeah.
- 17:49But my good work is a 10 to 15 lifer for animal abuse.
- 17:55Just doesn't look good for my dog walking business.
- 17:57I will say don't write the dog walking business.
- 18:00God, because I will be ruined in the dog walking space.
- 18:05Yeah.
- 18:05You're so well liked.
- 18:06All right, Alan, let's answer this question.
- 18:08I'd love to.
- 18:10How are you revolutionizing the dog walking industry?
- 18:14Yeah.
- 18:15So I'm in the dog walking industry, but to be honest with you, I'm pretty lazy.
- 18:19Sure.
- 18:20I'm looking for any way that I can do my job without actually doing it.
- 18:25So instead of dogs walking, I would rather put a dog behind the wheel of a car.
- 18:31And let it drive me.
- 18:35I think that's revolutionary.
- 18:36You're not underselling what dogs can do.
- 18:39Yeah, I think they've got the ability.
- 18:40I think they've just been pretending not to.
- 18:42Yeah.
- 18:43Yeah.
- 18:43Just so they don't have to.
- 18:44You take floofy, which we mentioned earlier, which is just a full blooded shih tzu.
- 18:50And then you take the Pontiac Sunfire.
- 18:53Yes.
- 18:54And you put that little dog in the front seat.
- 18:58I guess you just put the dog in the front seat.
- 19:00In the front seat, I guess you just want to put a brick on the gas pedal.
- 19:03I'm thinking that maybe you have one on the floorboard working the pedals.
- 19:07Oh, OK.
- 19:08Yeah.
- 19:08And then maybe another one or two, depending on sizes, working the wheel.
- 19:14That's it.
- 19:15So I know you've run a bunch of tests.
- 19:17You've done a bunch of clinical trials because you're a learned man.
- 19:22You don't do anything on a whim.
- 19:24So what have you seen in your research?
- 19:28You know, we've seen a lot of death.
- 19:29Um, and that's apart from the car accidents.
- 19:34Yeah.
- 19:35Yeah.
- 19:35We we have as we've been driving down the road, there's just the streets are littered
- 19:40with dead people.
- 19:42That's the death that we're seeing.
- 19:45Is it because we hit them?
- 19:46I don't I don't know.
- 19:47I'm in the back seat kind of doing my own thing.
- 19:51Well, I may be lazy, but I'm still responsible.
- 19:54And I've got a leash, you know, attached to these dogs as they're
- 20:00as they're driving the car.
- 20:01So I'm technically still walking the dog.
- 20:04It's just Alan in the back seat of a car.
- 20:06And that car is running side swiping a wall is just rough.
- 20:11He's just like bouncing around.
- 20:12It's like, man, this is so first socks.
- 20:17As he sees a lady go over the windshield and up the back.
- 20:21The last thing that lady sees while she's rolling on the ground behind the car is your
- 20:26I love my shit zoo sticker on the back.
- 20:30Yeah, she's going to think finally done it.
- 20:33The dogs are taking over.
- 20:34She's going to think this is a Planet of the Apes style thing, but just with dogs.
- 20:41She's probably ready to go.
- 20:42If that's what she thinks society's turned into, she didn't want to stick around.
- 20:45Yeah, she's like, God, I'm glad I'm about to hit my head.
- 20:47I hope one of these brittle bones punctures along.
- 20:55That has to be the most chaotic scene as you put somebody's boxer in the front seat
- 21:00of a PT Cruiser and they just back out right into somebody's house.
- 21:05Yeah, it doesn't always work.
- 21:07You just get the dog out and like, we got to find you another car.
- 21:09We just try again.
- 21:13And thankfully, what's cool about living in a neighborhood is that you're really never
- 21:16in any shortage of vehicles.
- 21:18That's true.
- 21:20Or families that you can ruin.
- 21:22Or families that you can ruin.
- 21:25One quick question for you.
- 21:27Are any of your dogs governmentally licensed drivers?
- 21:30Do you have their CDL?
- 21:32Oh, yeah.
- 21:33AT Wheeler.
- 21:34The long haulers.
- 21:35Yeah.
- 21:36Yeah.
- 21:36So we usually give big trucks to the big dogs.
- 21:41What is CDL?
- 21:41The same Bernards, you know.
- 21:43Portuguese water dog.
- 21:44What does CDL stand for in this context?
- 21:48Um, a cool dog license.
- 21:51There you go.
- 21:52Yeah.
- 21:52When you when you get your your cool dog license CDL, you get a collar that just says CDL on
- 21:58it and then a pair of sunglasses.
- 22:01Those are cool dogs is that 18 Wheeler hauling bricks tears through an intersection
- 22:08and just takes out about 27 cars.
- 22:13But it's like it's like anything that you do as long as you look cool doing it.
- 22:18Nobody's going to ask who's going to care.
- 22:20Think about that dog kind of arm hanging out the window of that truck.
- 22:25Marlboro, you know, red in between his paws.
- 22:29Cool as can be.
- 22:31As he T-bones a little old lady just trying to make it to goodwill.
- 22:40People are angry at him.
- 22:41He gets out and like he gets out of that car after he just destroys the old lady's car
- 22:46is a mangled mess.
- 22:48He gets out and people are like, you know what?
- 22:51Never mind.
- 22:52They kind of see the confidence that he walks with as he has that chain that goes from his
- 22:58his belt to his wallet.
- 23:00You know, like he's they see he's a cool guy.
- 23:02He's not wearing pants.
- 23:03He's dragging on the ground.
- 23:04He walks into the car and puts his cigarette out on the destroyed vehicle,
- 23:08but it lights up because gas is leaking.
- 23:11So now there's explosions.
- 23:14He has like a cool catchphrase when he walks off or when he views the accident, like a
- 23:19good boy's bad intentions.
- 23:25Oh, man.
- 23:26How about airplanes?
- 23:27Are you planning on putting canisters in the car?
- 23:32Are you planning on putting canines in control of airplanes and was your first test in 2001?
- 23:44We have not gotten dogs into the air yet.
- 23:47Those dogs back in one was not my responsibility.
- 23:52You can say they are dogs, though.
- 23:55They may have been.
- 23:55They probably were.
- 23:56I mean, it was a crash, you know, it wasn't successful or was it?
- 24:04It's all about relativity.
- 24:08Point is, that was not on me.
- 24:10I was in the second grade.
- 24:13So no no planes for you.
- 24:15No, not yet.
- 24:16Not yet.
- 24:16When you get air travel involved, it's a whole new ballgame.
- 24:20You got to kind of start hot air balloon.
- 24:22OK, yeah.
- 24:23You just you just send in dogs off into the atmosphere.
- 24:26Yeah, strap them to a weather balloon.
- 24:30I mean, NASA already kind of did that with just sending chimpanzees into space, right?
- 24:35Like they were they were ahead of the game there.
- 24:37Yeah, but they look kind of stupid doing it.
- 24:40We don't see any chimps driving cars.
- 24:43So apparently they failed.
- 24:44Whereas for you, you succeeded in dogs driving.
- 24:48I succeeded where the primates failed and I'm OK with that.
- 24:52Yeah, I think it's great.
- 24:53I think dog chauffeurs instead of dog walking is great.
- 24:57I think that's going to help out a lot of the elderly trying to get to their final resting place.
- 25:03Yeah, yeah, I mean, it'll send them on to old glory pretty quickly as that dog rolls the
- 25:11that Lincoln town car down Main Street and Mercury Marquis never saw it coming.
- 25:20That's good.
- 25:20Make them drive.
- 25:21Make them drive. Don't walk them.
- 25:23OK, well, here's here's me as the professional dog walker.
- 25:26I also don't want dogs to walk.
- 25:28I am also relatively lazy, not as lazy as you, but lazy.
- 25:33So I have hired my man Lewis, who is a Vietnam veteran, a Vietnam pilot.
- 25:44And me and me and Lewis are close because I let him I let him sleep.
- 25:47I let him sleep on an air mattress in my garage.
- 25:51The car's in there. He's really squished.
- 25:54He's really squished over to the left, but he doesn't have high standards because he has PTSD
- 25:59and he wakes up in a cold sweat most of the time.
- 26:02So what I have done is me and Lewis have devised a plan where I'll walk up to this
- 26:07upper middle class suburbian house and this old lady gives me this ugly little crusty white dog
- 26:15and I give her the pleasantries that you might think.
- 26:19I take the dog and I hook a very sturdy vest to it.
- 26:24She's like, excuse me, sir, why do you need this very sturdy vest?
- 26:29I say, ma'am, give me one second.
- 26:31And she starts hearing those Chinook helicopter blades coming above her house.
- 26:36And she looks off to the left and there's this hook just
- 26:41coming from the Chinook helicopter.
- 26:44He Lewis forgot to wheel it in.
- 26:47So it's just hanging and just banging off a light poles and off of people's cars
- 26:52going through people's roofs.
- 26:54But but I I eventually catch this Chinook hook and I hook it to this dog.
- 27:02And then Lewis takes off with this dog just hanging from this helicopter.
- 27:08Sometimes he gets high enough.
- 27:09Other times he kind of misjudges how low he is.
- 27:13And this dog, sometimes the dog becomes like a wrecking ball.
- 27:21As we send a boxer through somebody's front window, toppling trash cans.
- 27:29You had to topple trash cans and it was trash day.
- 27:32It's always trash day.
- 27:37And and we just go to each client that we have.
- 27:41And I go to the next house on down the road.
- 27:44Here comes Lewis and that 1960s Chinook with an already dog just hanging off and freaked out.
- 27:49Dogs freaked out. Lewis is freaked out.
- 27:51He didn't know what he was getting into.
- 27:52I then hooked the next dog a little bit bigger lab to the helicopter.
- 27:57Lewis takes off a few few dogs down.
- 28:02You know, we've got five or six dogs on that hook.
- 28:05The final house, I put the final dog on and I stand on the edge of the hook
- 28:09and I just get lifted off like Mary Poppins often to the sunset over the horizon with these dogs.
- 28:18You and a bunch of dead dogs.
- 28:20A bunch of battered dogs.
- 28:27They're not all dead.
- 28:28No, no.
- 28:29The first couple are.
- 28:30He had to gauge the distance.
- 28:32But by the third one, he had figured it out.
- 28:35Right.
- 28:35Like he had gotten higher and he got higher than the roofs.
- 28:38Now, Lewis was was he a Chinook.
- 28:42Lieutenant Lewis, the people that don't know him.
- 28:44Was was Lieutenant Lewis actually a Chinook pilot in Vietnam?
- 28:49Or was he just a soldier in Vietnam?
- 28:52He was a cook that got burnt and got a VA pass on going to war.
- 28:58We just found the Chinook.
- 29:03So in the end, it's you and these battered dogs on this chain just looking like an ASPCA commercial
- 29:11because they're just beating them bruised and some of them are dead.
- 29:14They all look so sad.
- 29:16It's just in the arms of the angel and it's just like you with the hook on your back and your head just like hunched over.
- 29:23But I have angel wings on.
- 29:26I'm the angel whose arms are around the dog.
- 29:29Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 29:31Yeah, it's like a whole like Nativity scene situation.
- 29:34Like we we we find shepherds.
- 29:37So when Lewis pulls up in his Chinook helicopter, you hook the dog on the chain.
- 29:41You do your little hand signal.
- 29:43Lieutenant Lewis, by the way.
- 29:44Lieutenant Lewis pulls up.
- 29:46You do your little circular hand signal, tell him good to go.
- 29:49All good.
- 29:50Does Lewis ever get any PTSD flashbacks?
- 29:54Does he have any PTSD episodes while he's piloting this helicopter?
- 29:58They ever start firing into houses?
- 30:01So yeah, he'll get some PTSD flashbacks.
- 30:05Really, the ones where he's thinking a missile has locked on to him.
- 30:11So he'll yank that you.
- 30:13Yank that yoke really hard back.
- 30:17He'll incoming, incoming, incoming.
- 30:20Those dogs from ground level just.
- 30:24Blink up in the air.
- 30:28And around and like he'll stop.
- 30:29He'll come out of it.
- 30:30Those dogs are still just kind of swinging.
- 30:34Pulling some serious G's up there on that line.
- 30:37Cord you're getting chopped by the blades of the helicopter as it goes around.
- 30:41I am.
- 30:42Yeah, the cord gets chopped and those dogs just fly.
- 30:46They're just gone.
- 30:46He turns on a turns on flight of the Valkyries like it's like he's Duval in Apocalypse now.
- 30:55Oh, yeah.
- 30:56Oh, yeah.
- 30:57Yeah, the dogs go fly and we don't go look for him.
- 30:59So like at the end of our shift, we call it a shift.
- 31:02I get to the landing pad about the same time as Lieutenant Lewis does.
- 31:06And we just kind of he gets out of the helicopter.
- 31:08We just kind of look at each other or like, oh, well, no dogs have made it out.
- 31:15So like a good soldier, we pack it up and do it the next day
- 31:19because I mean, it's a game of numbers.
- 31:21Eventually, eventually, we get it right.
- 31:23Do you work for Lewis or does Lewis work for you?
- 31:25We both work for God.
- 31:30I think part of a higher calling.
- 31:31I mean, yeah, Lewis has like the old like Catholic Presbyterian priest collar on,
- 31:38you know, the little light square.
- 31:41But it's just the collar.
- 31:42Everything else is whatever he wears in his normal day to day.
- 31:45And you know, it's just the white collar.
- 31:47He'll wear like his normal like camo, but just he'll just have the white collar on.
- 31:52And you know, Lewis has really taken to the Lord.
- 31:55Oh, but of the dogs that we did walk successfully,
- 32:00we'll do like the old school like landing that you see in Vietnam back at the owner's house,
- 32:06you know, where Lieutenant Lewis will land that 20, 30 foot Chinook helicopter
- 32:12right in the front yard.
- 32:13And we'll I'll be in the back of the yellow go, go, go, go.
- 32:17And just tossing the dog out.
- 32:18Yeah.
- 32:19Ducking as you exit the.
- 32:20Yeah, you know.
- 32:21Yeah, you know, jumping on the ground with my 1960s M16,
- 32:25but just firing around to the house, just providing cover for the dogs.
- 32:30You know, of course you want them to get to the house safely.
- 32:35Just press the fire is obviously necessary.
- 32:38Necessary dog walking.
- 32:42There you go.
- 32:42Dog walking.
- 32:43If you want us to walk your dog, let him get some exercise.
- 32:47Come to us.
- 32:48We'll let your dog drive a motor vehicle, operate heavy machinery,
- 32:53or we'll attach your dog to an old Vietnam helicopter.
- 32:57And just I think just fly him around town.
- 33:01I think or maybe Evan will take them.
- 33:05It'll be questionable what happens to him because he'll take him into a house of horrors.
- 33:09Horrors.
- 33:10I need to make sure that is clear.
- 33:11It's horrors, horrors, horrors.
- 33:12Not just horrors.
- 33:14I mean, I don't know.
- 33:15I don't know the prostitute situation in your house.
- 33:18There's both.
- 33:19Okay.
- 33:21So you don't have to specify.
- 33:22Send us a picture of your dog.
- 33:24We'll get them hooked up too much in a helicopter.
- 33:27But a lot of people come to the Quest for Detour podcast for a lot of things,
- 33:31whether it be advice, facts, you know, just overall wisdom and health.
- 33:37But one thing that people come to is our vast knowledge about movies
- 33:44and movies that maybe a lot of people don't know.
- 33:47So we're about to we're about to tell you about some movies.
- 33:50So sit back, get some corn and let's have movie time.
- 34:00All right.
- 34:00The next segment is movie time.
- 34:02For those of you who do not remember, we're going to run through some old movies
- 34:06and we're just going to guess what we think these movies are about
- 34:09based solely on their strange titles.
- 34:12So these movies are going to be from the 60s.
- 34:16First one we got here, A Man for All Seasons,
- 34:20which is something that we've been called many times.
- 34:23It sounds like a movie about a a winch, just a whore.
- 34:32Someone that has a man every different season of the year,
- 34:36four men throughout the year, one for winter, one for summer, one for spring.
- 34:41He just trades she trades them out like their shifts.
- 34:43Like, I can think I got the next shift.
- 34:46Summer Solstice comes and she's like, get out of here.
- 34:50You bring me the next.
- 34:52I think this movie is about men that just are carrying seasonings in their pockets.
- 35:01And, you know, just it's about a chef that is just is struggling to make his restaurant
- 35:06productive and profitable, so he's just he's found these men that just carry around some oregano
- 35:14in their in their pockets, just loose.
- 35:17Oh, there's a man for Rosemary, too.
- 35:19There he is. He has him in his cargo shorts.
- 35:22Lots of Rosemary.
- 35:25And they just carry seasons around.
- 35:28I think this movie is about a weatherman looking for love.
- 35:32He he's there during every season.
- 35:35And he knows all about the seasons.
- 35:37He knows when those cold fronts are coming in.
- 35:41He knows when it's hot outside.
- 35:43You know, I mean, he knows what is hot inside.
- 35:46He knows when it's hot inside.
- 35:48He's got those seasons down pat.
- 35:50Only four of them.
- 35:51Not not a lot to memorize, but he knows them is the point.
- 35:56He just knows the seasons.
- 35:58It's summer.
- 35:58It's winter.
- 35:59It's summer. It's winter.
- 36:03Next one we have is the spy who came in from the cold.
- 36:08I think this is about a spy, obviously.
- 36:11He's also a hypochondriac.
- 36:14Any little thing ends him up in the hospital.
- 36:16So he falls in love with this nurse on one of his routine hospital visits
- 36:21when he was in there for just the common cold.
- 36:25Very lightweight when it comes to pushing through pain.
- 36:28Strong, strong in love, weak in immune system.
- 36:31Right. Exactly.
- 36:34She was pumping morphine through his veins for this common cold.
- 36:37Getting him addicted.
- 36:39And yeah, he kind of fell in love in the midst of the morphine.
- 36:43Yeah, let's say did he fall in love with a girl or the morphine?
- 36:46Yes.
- 36:46Yes.
- 36:49I think this movie is about a very bad spy.
- 36:53Like he's not good at it.
- 36:54And he couldn't stand how cold it was when he was
- 36:57like watching somebody's house gaining intel and it got so cold.
- 37:01He just kind of walked in their house.
- 37:03He was like, I can't be out there anymore.
- 37:06It's too cold.
- 37:07He just kind of blew up his position.
- 37:09He didn't bring in big enough jacket.
- 37:10Yeah, didn't prepare.
- 37:12He came in with binoculars and radar dish.
- 37:16What a spy's ass.
- 37:18I think that this is about a spy who, similar to a man for all seasons,
- 37:25he's only active during the summer.
- 37:28He will not.
- 37:29He came in from the cold and he will not go back.
- 37:32You will only use this spy if you have a mission in the Bahamas.
- 37:38A little South American trip.
- 37:41He's okay with the humidity.
- 37:42He just, he won't work in the cold.
- 37:44Between June and September.
- 37:45Yeah.
- 37:47If the temperature dips below 44, he's.
- 37:50He's like, you pack enough, I'm going home.
- 37:52He's pretty iffy.
- 37:53All right.
- 37:55The next one is they shoot horses, don't they?
- 37:58I think this movie is about a farmer who's being plagued with demon horses.
- 38:05And, you know, it's, it starts out as a horror film, very scary.
- 38:09And he, he starts shooting these horses.
- 38:12He's, he's conquering his demons, so to speak.
- 38:15And the twist at the end is just kids playing in horse costumes, one at the butt, one at the head.
- 38:22And they're running around in his yard.
- 38:25It turns out he's just been kind of sniping them from the crow's nest the whole time.
- 38:30Comedy.
- 38:31Depends on you ask.
- 38:34I think this is an adventure film.
- 38:35Uh, I think it's about kind of like an evil, can evil-esque type guy who gets shot out of cannons.
- 38:42Does some flips, you know, just does death defying stuff, but a lot of it
- 38:47involves getting shot out of bigger and bigger cannons.
- 38:49So eventually he goes to another larger circus and sees a gigantic cannon.
- 38:56And he's like, what in the world is that for?
- 39:00So, you know, he kind of, the day goes on and eventually he gets to the night show
- 39:04and he just sees just a bunch of horses next to the cannon.
- 39:07And it finally dawns on them.
- 39:10They shoot horses, don't they?
- 39:13Very good.
- 39:13I think this one is about a farmer whose horses recently passed away.
- 39:18Um, died of pneumonia and he's interested.
- 39:20This one did.
- 39:24It might be a horse costume.
- 39:28And, uh, he's getting this horse stuffed by local taxidermists, but that's not enough.
- 39:34He wants pictures of this horse.
- 39:35So he's, it's about him going around town to local photography joints and saying,
- 39:41Hey, do you guys shoot horses?
- 39:43The next one is wait until dark.
- 39:46This is about some rednecks that just don't want to play by the rules.
- 39:55They think normal deer hunting is just too boring.
- 39:58So one day they're out and I mean, they've gotten normal deer hunting all their lives,
- 40:03but, you know, it just, it's starting to get boring for them.
- 40:06So one day they were out hunting and guy sees a deer.
- 40:09He's about to shoot him.
- 40:10The field and his buddy leans over, he says, wait, hold on.
- 40:17Wait until dark.
- 40:19We can see too much.
- 40:21We can see too much.
- 40:22We can see the deer.
- 40:23This is too legal.
- 40:26Let's wait till it's dark when I don't know, maybe the game warden might come up.
- 40:31Here's a gunshot.
- 40:33I think this is about a few astronomers that probably aren't the sharpest tools in the
- 40:40shed and they're trying to look for the moon.
- 40:42They keep going out, out during the day.
- 40:45They're like, that moon's really bright.
- 40:48And slowly they're becoming blind until like one person's like, oh, you want to see the moon?
- 40:56You should wait until dark.
- 41:01Up next, we have the brain that wouldn't die.
- 41:03I think this is about a guy named Brian who's wearing a bulletproof vest and assassins keep
- 41:15trying to kill him, but keep on hitting the bulletproof vest and he's just not dying.
- 41:20And one of the assassins, who's a poor speller, writes back to the boss.
- 41:25He goes, the brain that won't die.
- 41:29It was a short story.
- 41:33The brain that won't die by assassin one.
- 41:38Yeah, but he misspelt Brian.
- 41:39You know, I think this is about a seventh grade biology class that they started learning
- 41:48about human anatomy and they're on the topic of the brain.
- 41:51Well, they were making model figurines in class of the brain, kind of sculpting what
- 41:56it would look like.
- 41:57And you don't want it to be this white clay.
- 42:00Your brains aren't white.
- 42:01So they were trying to dye in pink and all but one of them would die.
- 42:06And that just that one brain wouldn't die.
- 42:12It sounds like a riveting movie of just confused school children.
- 42:15Yeah, it's quite literally watching paint dry.
- 42:22Next, we have two thousand maniacs.
- 42:25Maniacs. This is a movie all about the voices inside of Zach said it's just constant
- 42:32screaming, just two thousand of just constant screaming.
- 42:36Who's in Maniac?
- 42:38They don't even speak English until it's literally just high pitch screaming.
- 42:43It's mostly just French.
- 42:49Long cigarettes.
- 42:52I'm glad I got to star in a movie.
- 42:54Yes, I love you.
- 42:55All right.
- 42:56And the last one is Panic in Year Zero.
- 43:00I think this movie is about a family of cavemen.
- 43:04Well, there's women there, too.
- 43:08Not just men.
- 43:09It's a family of early humans.
- 43:13And, you know, it's a mirror image of what goes on in the modern world.
- 43:18They were just like us.
- 43:19They were thousands of dollars or rocks and debt, whatever they used for currency.
- 43:27The husband is stressed out and the wife is mad at the husband for not paying her any attention.
- 43:36And she goes out and has an affair with a brontosaurus and the family just can't recover.
- 43:43There's no orphanage in year one.
- 43:46They just kind of toss the kids off a cliff in a bag.
- 43:50You know, it's a panic in year zero.
- 43:53I think this movie is about just some prehistoric cooking.
- 43:57They're trying to cook, but there's just a little bit of it on the pan.
- 44:01They just can't quite get it off.
- 44:04So it's just dirty all the time and they can't deal with it.
- 44:09How are they supposed to cook their food if their pan has it on it all the time?
- 44:13It's year zero.
- 44:14They haven't been a dished on soap yet.
- 44:16Don dish soap yet.
- 44:18What are they supposed to do about this?
- 44:19All the panic.
- 44:21Just so much.
- 44:23They don't have don dish soap.
- 44:24They have pans.
- 44:25Yeah.
- 44:26I think this movie is a war film that takes place in the Flintstones universe
- 44:34where Fred Flintstone is the equivalent of a B-52 bomber pilot.
- 44:41But he's just piloting a pterodactyl.
- 44:46And it's about him infiltrating a base, his enemy cavemen, and rescuing his family.
- 44:53I don't know why the family was involved in the war.
- 44:56Why was the family involved?
- 44:59I think if I'm, and I'm flipping through the script now,
- 45:02I'm seeing that Fred Flintstone is actually a, he's a pillar of the community.
- 45:10He's the leader of a terrorist group.
- 45:12The enemies.
- 45:15He's running a bombing raid.
- 45:18They said that if we steal his family, boy will that get to him.
- 45:23It'll turn their organization upside down.
- 45:26His family was at the equivalent of Guantanamo Bay.
- 45:30Very good movies.
- 45:32Again, Hollywood hire us.
- 45:35But as we end it, if you have a hypothetical you want us to answer advice you need from
- 45:40the three wisest people you know, or just facts about anything on this planet, write
- 45:46us in question with detour podcast at gmail.com.
- 45:49But as we end it, guys, you'll want to give the Saturday workers a one-liner wisdom.
- 45:54Sure.
- 45:55Thank you for your concern.
- 45:56You can cook and eat pork shoulder, but it's more important to give pork a shoulder to
- 46:02lean on.
- 46:02Like have a pig cry on you.
- 46:06Yeah.
- 46:07They go through tough times.
- 46:09Yeah, they do.
- 46:09If your pipes are clogged up, don't call a plumber.
- 46:13Just mix gasoline and vinegar and pour it down the drain and see what happens.
- 46:18Does that have to be gasoline and vinegar?
- 46:26Could it just be like anything you have on your sink?
- 46:30Scientifically, that's the mix.
- 46:31I didn't, I didn't make this up.
- 46:33This is just a piece of wisdom passed down from generation to generation in my family.
- 46:38I thought you were going to say don't call a plum hurt, call plum him.
- 46:42Well, I would never trust a plum hurt.
- 46:46Oh man.
- 46:47But very good.
- 46:49You ought to be done.
- 46:51Yes.
- 46:51Expect the detour.
