• 2:41
  Nora: 'Merica.
• 2:42
  Nora: Yeah, we're celebrating the 250th birthday

• 2:47
  Nora: Hooray.
• 2:48
  Nora: Hooray.
• 2:48
  Nora: Hooray.
• 2:49
  Nora: Hooray.
• 2:50
  Nora: Hooray.
• 2:50
  Nora: We're enjoying the true privileges of being American,
• 2:54
  Nora: which was I went to the store and got as many
• 3:00
  Nora: 250th birthday themed items as I possibly could,
• 3:03
  Nora: and we're trying them tonight.
• 3:04
  Nora: So.
• 3:05
  Mandy: I mean, gluttony is part of, you know,
• 3:07
  Mandy: the American culture.
• 3:09
  Mandy: What's more American than Walmart?
• 3:11
  Mandy: Wait, what's more American?
• 3:13
  Mandy: I am wearing my 4th of July fit.
• 3:16
  Mandy: Oh, I love it.
• 3:18
  Mandy: And you may be wondering why 4th of July?
• 3:21
  Mandy: It's very pink.
• 3:23
  Mandy: Pink, glow in the dark.
• 3:25
  Mandy: It glows in the dark, all the little stars.
• 3:28
  Mandy: It's really reactive.
• 3:30
  Mandy: Glow in the dark.
• 3:31
  Mandy: So that is as close to patriotic as I'm comfortable getting.
• 3:36
  Chris: And if we had much more expensive cameras,
• 3:39
  Chris: like by tens of multitudes,
• 3:42
  Chris: we'd be able to show you how glow in the dark that is.
• 3:44
  Chris: But I guess you'll just have to take our word for it
• 3:46
  Chris: right now.
• 3:46
  Mandy: I mean, we tried.
• 3:48
  Mandy: We did try. - We did, we did try.
• 3:49
  Chris: But it's not just another one of the white man's lies.
• 3:51
  Mandy: Yeah. - Yeah, no, not this time.
• 3:53
  Mandy: This time it's for real.
• 3:56
  Mandy: But speaking of it, so you know,
• 3:58
  Mandy: It's very subtle, very subdued.
• 4:02
  Mandy: Have you ever felt personally attacked
• 4:05
  Mandy: by a content creator?
• 4:09
  Mandy: Occasionally, yeah, I have.
• 4:12
  Nora: And it is not fun to be called out.
• 4:14
  Mandy: So there's a content creator named Jessie.
• 4:18
  Mandy: And every time I watch her content, it hurts me.
• 4:22
  Chris: Ooh. - Why?
• 4:23
  Mandy: Yeah, let's watch one and then we'll see.
• 4:25
  Chris: Okay.
• 4:26
  Mandy: Okay. Oh God. Which guy? Girl, you look like three disco balls.
• 4:30
  Video: Thank you so much. And that's not a bag. That's a pot. Right.
• 4:34
  Video: But if I carry it like this, I kind of feel like it's so experimental.
• 4:38
  Video: I don't know.
• 4:41
  Video: I guess the Coke one.
• 4:43
  Chris: Okay. Keep it. I know why now.
• 4:45
  Video: Simple at all. I'm using a purse as a purse. You're blinding me.
• 4:52
  Mandy: It hurts. It hurts.
• 4:55
  Mandy: It hurts a lot, also.
• 4:58
  Chris: Right in your feels.
• 4:59
  Mandy: This is my purse for today.
• 5:04
  Chris: I was gonna say, that's one of them.
• 5:05
  Mandy: One of them, oh, I know, I know.
• 5:09
  Mandy: It works.
• 5:11
  Mandy: It's Bluetooth and it works,
• 5:13
  Mandy: and so I can take little phone calls on my purse.
• 5:17
  Mandy: Super subtle.
• 5:18
  Mandy: Do we wanna watch one more video from her?
• 5:20
  Mandy: Of course.
• 5:21
  Mandy: Sure.
• 5:22
  Mandy: So we can really hurt my feelings.
• 5:24
  Video: Okay, I'm ready. - Oh my God,
• 5:26
  Video: Jessie, we're going to the mall.
• 5:28
  Video: Mall, I thought you said ball.
• 5:29
  Video: (laughing)
• 5:30
  Video: I don't know about that.
• 5:31
  Video: Where's your purse?
• 5:33
  Video: That's a frog.
• 5:34
  Video: (laughing)
• 5:36
  Video: I can put my key in it.
• 5:37
  Video: Okay, where are you gonna-
• 5:38
  Video: I figured you could hold the purse.
• 5:39
  Video: There it is, no, no.
• 5:41
  Video: Come on, don't say no to the princess.
• 5:43
  Video: You are not a princess.
• 5:44
  Video: Don't say that to me.
• 5:45
  Video: Oh my God.
• 5:47
  Video: Oh God.
• 5:49
  Chris: Mandy, what are you gonna do
• 5:50
  Chris: to this person who stole your bit?
• 5:52
  Mandy: I know, and my thing is, it's not even a bit,
• 5:55
  Mandy: and that's why it hurts.
• 5:56
  Mandy: That's why it hurts.
• 5:57
  Mandy: Let me just, you don't see all the rest of this,
• 5:59
  Mandy: but it's floof.
• 6:02
  Chris: It's very floofy.
• 6:04
  Chris: And to be entirely transparent,
• 6:07
  Chris: Mandy doesn't wear these things just for the show.
• 6:11
  Chris: No, I wore this to the dentist.
• 6:14
  Mandy: (laughing)
• 6:14
  Chris: This is Mandy on the regular.
• 6:16
  Mandy: I've worn the skirt, not the top,
• 6:19
  Mandy: 'cause for teeth cleaning, it's a little much.
• 6:22
  Mandy: Yeah.
• 6:23
  Mandy: But I do-
• 6:24
  Chris: I don't know, how much do you like your hygienics?
• 6:26
  Mandy: (laughing)
• 6:26
  Mandy: A lot, they're really great.
• 6:29
  Nora: Do you have any petticoats on today?
• 6:30
  Nora: Not today.
• 6:31
  Nora: See, not even petticoats on this one
• 6:33
  Nora: and it's still a big puffy.
• 6:35
  Mandy: I know, and like I said, this is like dentist wear,
• 6:38
  Mandy: like this is 'cause it's a Wednesday.
• 6:40
  Mandy: That's okay, it's called dopamine dressing.
• 6:43
  Nora: Sure, that's it, exactly.
• 6:43
  Chris: Ooh, I like that.
• 6:45
  Nora: That's what the kids on the internet are calling it.
• 6:47
  Nora: Whimsy?
• 6:48
  Nora: Yeah, whimsy is very important.
• 6:51
  Nora: I was told no a lot as a child.
• 6:54
  Nora: (both laughing)
• 6:57
  Mandy: Women were not supposed to be seen.
• 7:00
  Mandy: That's definitely how I grew up.
• 7:01
  Mandy: So I-
• 7:02
  Mandy: You're healing young Mandy.
• 7:04
  Mandy: Yeah, yeah, I'm making sure I'm seen.
• 7:08
  Mandy: And some.
• 7:09
  Mandy: Yeah, but my feelings get hurt every time.
• 7:12
  Mandy: (both laughing)
• 7:13
  Mandy: Every time they come across the screen.
• 7:15
  Mandy: But are you also inspired by her outfits?
• 7:18
  Mandy: I mean, I think we could go toe to toe.
• 7:21
  Mandy: Like one for one, it hurts.
• 7:25
  Mandy: It hurts.
• 7:27
  Nora: Yeah.
• 7:27
  Nora: Yeah, I did try and invite Charles to go see Obsession this weekend.
• 7:31
  Nora: Oh yeah?
• 7:32
  Nora: How'd that go?
• 7:32
  Nora: I realized he was in California, so I did try this time.
• 7:37
  Nora: I just want that on the record that I did try to go to the movie on Sunday and I was
• 7:44
  Nora: told he wasn't in town.
• 7:45
  Nora: So I didn't go see it because movies should be seen together with other people.
• 7:49
  Nora: Is it payback?
• 7:49
  Mandy: payback 'cause you didn't go to the wrestling?
• 7:52
  Mandy: Probably, but I'm gonna go to the next one.
• 7:55
  Mandy: I mean, look, I was even like,
• 7:57
  Mandy: maybe I'll be healed enough to go to the next wrestling,
• 7:59
  Mandy: so until, especially when I heard it was like
• 8:02
  Mandy: Twilight themed, I'm all for,
• 8:03
  Mandy: I'm all for a theme, if you can't tell.
• 8:06
  Nora: You like a theme?
• 8:07
  Mandy: We like a theme!
• 8:09
  Mandy: But then the actor said that nobody
• 8:12
  Mandy: does anything with the theme.
• 8:14
  Mandy: And I'm like, "Womp womp."
• 8:15
  Chris: At least to the couple that I've been to,
• 8:17
  Chris: the theme is just kind of incidental.
• 8:20
  Chris: I'm sure there are, there have been events
• 8:22
  Chris: where the theme was more, you know,
• 8:26
  Chris: more intricate to, or integrated to the show.
• 8:31
  Mandy: Look, if you're gonna do it Twilight themed,
• 8:33
  Mandy: I need it to be Twilight themed.
• 8:36
  Mandy: So many good opportunities.
• 8:37
  Nora: So many!
• 8:38
  Nora: So many good opportunities.
• 8:40
  Nora: This is the leotard of a killer.
• 8:42
  Nora: Yeah, exactly.
• 8:43
  Chris: But even though Nora did not go see Obsession,
• 8:46
  Chris: lots and lots of other people have.
• 8:50
  Chris: Just a few days ago, it beat the record set by Sinners
• 8:54
  Chris: last year. - Holy wow!
• 8:55
  Chris: What?
• 8:56
  Chris: How is that possible?
• 8:57
  Chris: Highest grossing original live action film of the decade.
• 9:02
  Chris: Obsession has crossed over $372 million.
• 9:05
  Chris: And for those who don't know,
• 9:09
  Chris: this movie was made for $750,000.
• 9:11
  Chris: That's insane.
• 9:14
  Nora: That's crazy work.
• 9:15
  Nora: Imagine what he's gonna be able to do. Yeah with a real budget
• 9:19
  Mandy: I don't know is that the curse of like the second project you write second books like once you have
• 9:24
  Chris: Something that's so I mean, you'll definitely have a lot more eyes on him. That's for sure
• 9:28
  Chris: I mean this was better or worse
• 9:30
  Chris: Yeah, this was something that Universal picked up at the Toronto Film Festival for a million dollars
• 9:35
  Chris: So it's easily the most profitable movie
• 9:38
  Chris: They've ever been associated with but you know, nobody really knew who he was
• 9:42
  Chris: He had made one like short film on YouTube that did well prior to this
• 9:48
  Chris: But he was a youtuber like he didn't have a ton of eyes on him and now it's now it's a whole new ballgame
• 9:53
  Mandy: Look, I'm cheering for them. Like yes, like let's do this. Let's take it back like take back the movies for the people. Yeah
• 10:00
  Chris: Absolutely. I need to see more original stories being told we need to be we need to see more
• 10:06
  Chris: That's just not like superhero fatigue because I think
• 10:10
  Chris: Supergirl which came out recently that has only made 30 million dollars
• 10:16
  Chris: You know just is another indicator that people want to see new stories
• 10:21
  Chris: Yeah, yeah
• 10:22
  Mandy: And how many times can we get like the same origin stories of the same like two characters and and the whole you know?
• 10:29
  Nora: Remakes and you know, how many origin stories?
• 10:33
  Nora: How many Batman even the live-action of Moana just came out and like why do we need a live-action of Moana?
• 10:38
  Nora: when Moana came out 15 years ago.
• 10:40
  Nora: Like it's not even that long ago that Moana existed
• 10:43
  Nora: and we're already getting a live action remake.
• 10:45
  Nora: And I personally don't really go watch remakes.
• 10:50
  Nora: I will go see a movie if there's a big hype around it.
• 10:53
  Nora: And I know some people have said,
• 10:56
  Nora: like I wish I would have watched Obsession
• 10:58
  Nora: before all of the hype.
• 11:00
  Nora: But like I feel like it's a good movie
• 11:02
  Nora: and I'm gonna enjoy it regardless.
• 11:03
  Nora: And it's also cool that like horror
• 11:05
  Nora: is playing such a big role in the movie scene now.
• 11:10
  Nora: I think we talked about it last week,
• 11:12
  Nora: but I just love that it's that horror research.
• 11:14
  Mandy: I do love horror,
• 11:16
  Mandy: and I do love horror creeping into the summer.
• 11:19
  Mandy: I need all of the activities that happen in the autumn
• 11:24
  Mandy: to just take over summer,
• 11:26
  Mandy: and we'll pretend like summer isn't here.
• 11:27
  Mandy: Year round. - Yeah.
• 11:28
  Mandy: Spooky season is year round in my world.

  Nora: I get so many compliments on this bread.
• 12:46
  Nora: Like, it is my favorite recipe.
• 12:48

• 12:51
  Nora: And I can guarantee this will be delicious.
• 12:53
  Nora: Oh, I'm so excited.
• 12:55
  Chris: Came out of the oven about 10 minutes before we left.
• 12:57
  Chris: I haven't tried it, but it smells delicious.
• 13:01
  Mandy: I did take the time because I can't let go of the fact that I'm finally a winner.
• 13:05
  Mandy: I never win anything.
• 13:06
  Mandy: And so I'm like, I have that feeling and like, maybe now I understand sports ball people
• 13:10
  Mandy: a little.
• 13:11
  Nora: Yeah.
• 13:12
  Mandy: And so like, I found myself trying to explain it to someone at work.
• 13:18
  Chris: Trying to explain that you won or Marble League?
• 13:22
  Video: Both.
• 13:23
  Video: And like how stoked I was.

  Nora: Okay, so the baseball game that I went and saw,
• 13:31
  Nora: it was basically like that.
• 13:32
  Nora: There you go.
• 13:33
  Nora: Where the Astro Stars, they were,
• 13:36
  Nora: or they, what, is that the name?
• 13:38
  Nora: I wouldn't know.
• 13:40
  Nora: Indigo Stars, the Indigo Stars, they're leaders,
• 13:42
  Nora: you know, they've been winning for a while.

• 13:54
  Mandy: Thank you, the actor.
• 13:55
  Mandy: Thank you, Nora.
• 13:56
  Mandy: Thank you Charles for making me look like a lunatic.

  Chris: I am very glad that I introduced Marble League to y'all.
• 14:03
  Mandy: Look, I'm ready for next season
• 14:05
  Mandy: and I'm gonna go even harder.
• 14:07
  Mandy: Yeah, and I think, oh, the other one-
• 14:09
  Mandy: I should dye my hair pink.
• 14:11
  Nora: Ooh, yeah.
• 14:13
  Nora: I was gonna say the other kind of online racing
• 14:16
  Nora: that we've kind of followed is pig racing,
• 14:18
  Nora: but they do weird AI stuff now, and so like-
• 14:21
  Chris: They do weird AI stuff?
• 14:22
  Chris: For pig racing.
• 14:23
  Nora: How's that?
• 14:24
  Nora: They have a weird AI announcer
• 14:26
  Nora: The comments don't like it.
• 14:28
  Chris: Oh, that's a bummer.
• 14:29
  Nora: So, yeah.
• 14:30
  Chris: We would never use any sort of AI spoken word
• 14:35
  Chris: here on this show.
• 14:36
  Chris: We have standards.
• 14:38

  Nora: this is the fourth year that I have seen him.
• 28:54
  Chris: How many children have gone missing
• 28:56
  Chris: in the local area in the last five years?
• 28:58
  Chris: Because I think that explains the weight gain.
• 29:01
  Nora: I think we should actually look into that.
• 29:05
  Nora: I'm gonna have to make a-

  Nora: He's done this to businesses.
• 29:44
  Nora: Sometimes he'll like go in front of somebody's garage
• 29:46
  Nora: and they'll be like,
• 29:47
  Nora: "Hey, Neil, this deal is in front of my house.
• 29:49
  Chris: I can't go to work today."
• 29:51
  Chris: If I drove by that, I would be scared shitless.
• 29:54
  Chris: I know.

• 30:33
  Nora: spiral a couple of
• 30:35
  Nora: Miles down to the bottom of the ocean wake up and then go hunt
• 30:40
  Nora: It's crazy. That's how they literally put themselves into REM sleep
• 30:43
  Nora: So they dream and they're spiraling down to the bottom of the ocean and then they pop back up and go hunt
• 30:49
  Chris: Huh wait?
• 30:51
  Nora: any questions so like
• 30:54
  Nora: Is the spiraling what puts themselves to sleep? No, they they are spiraling and sleeping at the same time. Okay? Yeah
• 31:03
  Nora: It's like a whole eight minutes of them diving and spiraling of them in like REM sleep
• 31:08
  Nora: And then they like wake up and go do things and they just learned this this year
• 31:11
  Mandy: Wait, so they can only do it for like the amount of time it takes them to hit the bottom and then they go back
• 31:15
  Mandy: So they have like really really short sleep cycles. Yeah
• 31:20
  Nora: Interesting, right? Yeah, and they might also do have different sleep cycles on land, but that is their swimming sleep cycle
• 31:26
  Nora: It's a fascinating fascinating. Yep. All right. I have one more and
• 31:31

• 33:04
  Chris: Sure, why not?
• 33:06
  Chris: Folks, here at Loudspeaker, we do a show like this,
• 33:09

  Chris: kind of rise above that and learn to deal with those things.
• 33:47
  Chris: The show's hosted by Sarah Menares, who's a friend of ours,

  Chris: And this show, yeah, really is all about
• 34:02
  Chris: what's keeping us stuck in life,
• 34:04
  Chris: and especially in terms of our self-reflection,
• 34:08
  Chris: and how to go about dealing with those.
• 34:10
  Chris: And it's a video podcast,
• 34:12
  Chris: so you can watch it as well as listen to it.

• 34:24
  Chris: we do so many other things.
• 34:26
  Chris: Primarily we are a radio station,
• 34:29
  Chris: but not just one radio station at the moment,
• 34:31
  Chris: we have six different radio stations.
• 34:34
  Chris: So we have Loudspeaker One,
• 34:35
  Chris: which is our kind of flagship station,
• 34:37

• 34:40
  Chris: where we play indie music, new music,
• 34:42
  Chris: undiscovered artists, all sorts of fun stuff.
• 34:46
  Chris: And then we have a station called Call a Radio,
• 34:48
  Chris: which is a little play on words I came up with
• 34:50
  Chris: that I think is good and no one else does.
• 34:53
  Chris: Aw, bless. - But we focus on-
• 34:54
  Nora: I was gonna say I like it.
• 34:55
  Nora: Thank you.
• 34:56
  Chris: We focus on Colorado artists,
• 34:59
  Chris: artists that are based right here in our home state.
• 35:02

• 35:05
  Chris: devoted to Colorado artists.
• 35:07
  Chris: Radio Remix is kind of rebroadcasts
• 35:10
  Chris: of our talk shows like this.
• 35:12
  Chris: So it's a way to discover your next new favorite show.
• 35:15
  Chris: In addition to, you know,
• 35:16
  Chris: if you just want to pretend it's the 1960s
• 35:20
  Chris: and you put on AM radio when you're doing other stuff
• 35:22
  Chris: and just listen to people talk, Radio Remix does that.
• 35:25
  Chris: but for the digital age.
• 35:26
  Chris: We have the Riot, which is a station
• 35:29
  Chris: that focuses entirely on LGBTQIA artists.
• 35:33
  Chris: So you'll hear artists like Hailey Kiyoko,
• 35:38
  Chris: Sienna Lillians, Sarah Christine,
• 35:42
  Chris: lots of queer artists, some that you know, some you don't.
• 35:45
  Chris: That's a good time.
• 35:46
  Chris: We have a station devoted to the 80s,
• 35:48
  Chris: which is, I think, the best single decade of pop music.
• 35:53
  Chris: and then we have our newest station, Revolution 6,
• 35:56
  Chris: which focuses on the music of the 1960s.
• 35:59

  Chris: Hey, you did set up the rundown this week.
• 38:08
  Mandy: I did, and you know what?
• 38:10
  Mandy: I asked for a pay raise because of that
• 38:13
  Mandy: in the form of a croissant.
• 38:15
  Chris: And that will definitely be coming.
• 38:17
  Mandy: Yeah, just not, we have too much other food today.
• 38:20
  Mandy: Oh, I know, oh my God, so much food.
• 38:22
  Mandy: We're excited, 'cause we're doing,
• 38:24
  Mandy: if you haven't figured it out, America themed,
• 38:26
  Mandy: which is on some days.
• 38:28
  Mandy: For better or worse.
• 38:29
  Mandy: Some days it's real, it's a struggle.
• 38:32
  Mandy: It's a struggle.
• 38:34
  Mandy: But we decided that we wanted to try
• 38:36
  Mandy: and bring some levity to America,
• 38:39
  Mandy: 'cause we know it's, I don't wanna say,
• 38:42
  Mandy: There's lots of stuff that we've done wrong or that's interesting or a lot of stuff has happened over the last 250 years
• 38:48
  Nora: I could I could say that with confidence a lot of stuff has happened. Yeah, so this wasn't my idea
• 38:55
  Nora: Thinking we could do this, uh, did you want to do it? Uh chronologically chronologically?
• 39:00
  Nora: Okay. Okay. So I think the first one that we have here is the pig war
• 39:06
  Chris: Yes, uh, and that got added to the rundown pretty late. So yeah the pig war
• 39:11
  Chris: The pig war is something where,
• 39:15
  Chris: where did my notes go on?
• 39:16
  Chris: Oh, they're at the very bottom.
• 39:17
  Chris: Yeah, this was a border standoff
• 39:19
  Chris: between the US and Britain on San Juan Island.
• 39:22
  Chris: This happened in 1859,
• 39:24
  Chris: began after an American farmer shot a trespassing pig
• 39:28
  Chris: who was owned by a British person.
• 39:31
  Chris: (laughing)
• 39:32
  Mandy: Okay, look, it sounds funny,
• 39:33
  Mandy: but have you ever seen like javelinas, like wild pigs?
• 39:36
  Mandy: They're scary.
• 39:37
  Mandy: Terrifying.
• 39:38
  Mandy: I mean, wild hogs are a problem in Arkansas.
• 39:41
  Mandy: There are problems everywhere.
• 39:43
  Mandy: Oh, there's this meme, you guys,
• 39:44
  Mandy: about the, it shows a map of America
• 39:47
  Mandy: and all the black dots represent wild hogs.
• 39:50
  Mandy: And somebody said, wow,
• 39:51
  Mandy: they're really protecting their borders.
• 39:53
  Mandy: (laughing)
• 39:55
  Chris: I mean, this might've been the first instance
• 39:57
  Chris: of American border enforcement
• 40:00
  Chris: because this ended up creating a several month long standup
• 40:05
  Chris: with armed troops at both sides of the border,
• 40:09
  Chris: essentially standing there with their guns pointed
• 40:12
  Chris: at each other saying, "We demand an apology."
• 40:16
  Chris: Not a shot was fired, there was no violence
• 40:18
  Chris: other than the pig itself was the only casualty
• 40:23
  Chris: of that war, and it took several years
• 40:27
  Chris: to actually resolve this.
• 40:28
  Chris: So that tells you that even from an early age
• 40:33
  Chris: when America was just a wee one,
• 40:35
  Chris: we knew how to hold a grudge.
• 40:37
  Mandy: Oh, that feels right.
• 40:39
  Mandy: That feels right.
• 40:39
  Mandy: That feels like deep down in my soul, right?
• 40:41
  Mandy: I'm like, yeah, America.
• 40:43
  Mandy: Yeah, right?
• 40:45
  Mandy: I struggled a lot with this.
• 40:47
  Mandy: I do have a degree in history,
• 40:50
  Mandy: one of my many worthless degrees,
• 40:54
  Mandy: but it does not involve US history until the LGBT.
• 40:57
  Chris: Wait, was the philosophy degree filled up already?
• 41:01
  Mandy: You know, I could only do so many.
• 41:04
  Mandy: I double majored.
• 41:05
  Mandy: So I chose English and history,
• 41:07
  Mandy: If I could have triple or quadruple majored,
• 41:09
  Mandy: I probably would have.
• 41:10
  Mandy: That was a political science,
• 41:11
  Mandy: environmental studies double major.
• 41:12
  Nora: I feel environmental studies is pretty useful now.
• 41:15
  Nora: Political science.
• 41:15
  Nora: (mimics explosion)
• 41:17
  Nora: Meanwhile.
• 41:18
  Nora: I'm not in this world,
• 41:19
  Nora: but maybe in the world that was pre-2016.
• 41:22
  Nora: Fair, sound, sound.
• 41:24
  Chris: Meanwhile, I dropped out.
• 41:27
  Video: (laughing)
• 41:29
  Mandy: It's okay, I will let you-
• 41:30
  Chris: Folks, don't ever let anyone tell you
• 41:32
  Chris: that dropouts can't do anything.
• 41:34
  Chris: Just look at this.
• 41:35
  Mandy: Exactly.
• 41:36
  Mandy: You know, I will let you use one of my degrees.
• 41:39
  Mandy: I very rarely use them.
• 41:40
  Chris: Oh, awesome.
• 41:41
  Chris: Do I get to pick?
• 41:42
  Mandy: Yeah, you want the law degree?
• 41:44
  Mandy: I kinda do want the law degree.
• 41:46
  Mandy: I will sell it to you real cheap.
• 41:47
  Chris: Awesome.
• 41:48
  Video: Barely used, barely used.
• 41:51
  Chris: When I was a kid, I really wanted to be a lawyer.
• 41:55
  Chris: And to this day, one of my favorite comfort shows
• 41:58
  Chris: to put on the background is Law & Order.
• 42:00
  Mandy: Okay, then you don't want to become an attorney
• 42:02
  Mandy: because once you are, you can never watch that show
• 42:05
  Mandy: ever again without losing your mind.
• 42:07
  Mandy: I mean, like this is just fiction.
• 42:09
  Chris: Yeah, I know there are large swaths of it
• 42:12
  Chris: that are very inaccurate and things are condensed
• 42:14
  Chris: and whatever, but it's still,
• 42:17
  Chris: I don't wanna say a guilty pleasure
• 42:18
  Chris: because I don't believe in that,
• 42:19
  Chris: it's still just a joy.
• 42:20
  Mandy: Yeah. - Fair.
• 42:21
  Mandy: I don't wanna name any names,
• 42:23
  Mandy: but one of my fellow students in law school
• 42:27
  Mandy: would argue with our evidence professor
• 42:30
  Mandy: because, "Hershey, we know it was right,
• 42:32
  Mandy: "it was on law and order.
• 42:33
  Mandy: Like it was right because they said so in law and order.
• 42:37
  Chris: Did they think it was a documentary?
• 42:39
  Mandy: Look, I don't want to say any, like not naming any names,
• 42:42
  Mandy: but this person went on to be number one ranked
• 42:45
  Mandy: in our school.
• 42:48
  Mandy: Best GPA.
• 42:50
  Chris: Fuck you, whoever you are.
• 42:53
  Mandy: (laughing)
• 42:54
  Chris: And he's too nice to say that, but I'm not.
• 42:57
  Chris: (laughing)
• 42:58
  Mandy: It's one of those bless your heart moments, right?
• 43:00
  Mandy: Where like they're really good at taking tests,
• 43:01
  Mandy: but not living in the world.
• 43:02
  Mandy: Yeah.
• 43:04
  Mandy: So my, one of my contributions is called
• 43:08
  Mandy: the Kentucky meat shower.
• 43:10
  Mandy: Ooh, tell us about this.
• 43:12
  Mandy: So in 1876, around lunchtime,
• 43:15
  Mandy: which I feel is a little fitting.
• 43:18
  Chris: (laughing)
• 43:19
  Chris: There's a time for it to rain meat.
• 43:21
  Mandy: Rained meat in Kentucky over the,
• 43:24
  Mandy: I think it was like a hundred yards.
• 43:28
  Mandy: And yeah, people were like, hey,
• 43:31
  Mandy: Manna from heaven, raw meat, it was red meat.
• 43:35
  Mandy: Let's watch the video.
• 43:36
  Mandy: I think they describe it pretty well.
• 43:39
  Video: 1876 Kentucky.
• 43:41
  Video: Yeah, that was meat falling from a clear blue sky.
• 43:45
  Video: For several minutes.
• 43:46
  Chris: Okay, this is really well done.
• 43:48
  Chris: I love whoever made this.
• 43:50
  Video: It's the Weather Channel, you guys.
• 43:51
  Chris: Amazing. - Oh my God, wow.
• 43:52
  Chris: Thank you, Weather Channel.
• 43:53
  Video: Chunks of raw flesh rained across a hundred yard stretch.
• 43:57
  Video: Well, holy (beep) that's not your typical weather.

  Chris: Is the weather channel dropping bleeps now?
• 44:04
  Mandy: Yes, I drop like mad props to their social media person.
• 44:08
  Video: That's good shit.
• 44:09
  Chris: Not your father's weather channel.
• 44:12
  Video: Locals swore it was a divine sign,
• 44:14
  Video: but the leading theory, vulture vomit.
• 44:17
  Video: When threatened, turkey vultures projectile vomit
• 44:20
  Video: to escape faster, lightening their load mid-flight.
• 44:23
  Video: And Tess proved it.
• 44:24
  Video: The chunks were partially digested tissue
• 44:26
  Video: from whatever dead animal they'd been eating.
• 44:28
  Video: Oh my God.
• 44:29
  Video: Yeah, some people actually tasted it.
• 44:31
  Video: Yup, yup.
• 44:32
  Video: Tastes like mutton?
• 44:34
  Video: Roasted.
• 44:35
  Video: That's the Kentucky Meat Shower.
• 44:36
  Video: Proof the sky's not broken, it's just on Demon Time.
• 44:39
  Video: (laughing)

  Video: Oh my God.
• 44:46
  Video: You're welcome.
• 44:46
  Video: This is great.
• 44:48
  Video: That's so gross.
• 44:49
  Chris: I don't think anything's gonna top that.
• 44:51
  Mandy: Yeah, I know, I know, 'cause that's my good one.
• 44:54
  Mandy: That's gross.
• 44:55
  Mandy: I feel like I blew my lid a little early.
• 44:57
  Mandy: (laughing)
• 44:58
  Chris: Hate it when that happens.
• 44:59
  Mandy: Yeah, no, but so somebody ate it and said,
• 45:01
  Mandy: "Oh, I think it tastes like lamb."
• 45:04
  Mandy: And I'm like, "Ew."
• 45:05
  Mandy: Like, "Ew?"
• 45:06
  Chris: I think it tastes like (gags)
• 45:08
  Mandy: Okay, so what I find fascinating is that for,
• 45:11
  Mandy: people took it and saved it and put them in jars.
• 45:14
  Mandy: Yeah.
• 45:15
  Mandy: We still have them.
• 45:16
  Mandy: The jars survive.
• 45:17
  Mandy: People have been running tests on them for forever.
• 45:21
  Mandy: The vulture meat?
• 45:21
  Mandy: Oh! - There you go!
• 45:24
  Nora: Oh my God.
• 45:24
  Nora: Gross. - Yeah.
• 45:25
  Mandy: Meat grain.
• 45:27
  Mandy: They were trying to identify what it was,
• 45:30
  Mandy: but they weren't actually able to because, you know,
• 45:32
  Mandy: obviously it's like 150 years old.
• 45:34
  Mandy: So that's not actually happening.
• 45:36
  Chris: Wait, you're telling me,
• 45:38
  Chris: you're telling me that like we have the ability
• 45:41
  Chris: to do all of these technological advancements
• 45:44
  Chris: and we can't figure out what meat it came from 150 years ago?
• 45:48
  Mandy: My understanding is that it was so poorly preserved.
• 45:53
  Mandy: Right, I think they like just threw it in alcohol
• 45:55
  Mandy: and said, have a good time.
• 45:56
  Mandy: See you in 150 years.
• 45:58
  Mandy: You can go see some of it.
• 45:59
  Mandy: It's I think in a university,
• 46:03
  Mandy: Transylvania University in Kentucky.
• 46:05
  Mandy: Anyways, it exists.
• 46:07
  Mandy: It's there.
• 46:08
  Mandy: It was not a hoax.
• 46:09
  Mandy: Yeah.
• 46:09
  Mandy: For years people thought
• 46:11
  Mandy: people were making up the story.
• 46:12
  Mandy: It was a hoax.
• 46:13
  Mandy: Nope, nope, Israel and someone ate it.
• 46:15
  Mandy: Hey, you eating random meat from the sky?
• 46:18
  Mandy: No.
• 46:18
  Mandy: Yeah.
• 46:19
  Nora: No, thank you.
• 46:19
  Nora: But I mean,
• 46:21
  Nora: Claudia with a Chance of Meatballs is kind of a dream.
• 46:23
  Nora: (laughing)
• 46:25
  Nora: No, it's not.
• 46:27
  Nora: (laughing)
• 46:28
  Nora: It is a horror story.
• 46:29
  Nora: There's a reason why it was a sequel
• 46:30
  Nora: and it all became sentient, right?
• 46:33
  Video: No, that's true.
• 46:34
  Video: Yeah, it is a horror story.
• 46:37
  Chris: So Charles has entered the chat.
• 46:40
  Chris: He said, "It is too loud where I'm at right now,
• 46:44
  Chris: "so I need you to do an interpretive dance."
• 46:46
  Video: (laughing)
• 46:47
  Mandy: You know, I was trained as a ballerina, a Russian.
• 46:53
  Mandy: Yeah, so um, here we go.
• 46:59
  Video: Meat RACE!
• 47:17
  Video: You're welcome, Charles.
• 47:19
  Video: You better, you better, you better appreciate that.
• 47:24
  Nora: All right, so the next one that I wanted to, next American event is the Great American,
• 47:33
  Nora: not the Great American State Fair.
• 47:35
  Video: Sorry, I just saw it on playback.
• 47:41
  Video: I think it was maybe my new favorite.
• 47:43
  Video: We're going to have to cut that one for the intro.
• 47:48
  Nora: So not the Great American State Fair, which is happening right now in DC, which is really
• 47:52
  Nora: lame and boring. But this was probably the best World's Fair. The 1893 Chicago World's Fair.
• 47:59
  Nora: Love and Murder.
• 47:59
  Nora: This was to celebrate Columbus discovering America. So there wasn't a real reason for it,
• 48:06
  Nora: other than it being 400 years since that happened. But a bunch of people got together
• 48:12
  Nora: in the 1800s and came up with this giant white city and it was incredible. Chris,
• 48:18
  Nora: would you play a little bit of the video while I so these are some some snapshots of
• 48:24
  Nora: Of the Chicago World's Fair all of it burned down within a few years after the Chicago World Fair existed
• 48:31
  Nora: But this was like the most elaborate most American thing that you could ever think of
• 48:37
  Nora: There were so many American inventions that happened at the Chicago World's Fair
• 48:42
  Nora: We had the zipper. Oh, we're gonna pause it. We don't need to watch any more of this video
• 48:46
  Nora: I just wanted to show some of the pictures of it, but we have the zipper. We have Cracker Jacks
• 48:52
  Nora: We have the Ferris wheel. Okay, chewing gum
• 48:57
  Nora: dishwashers the first automatic dishwasher and
• 49:00
  Nora: Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. Oh, that's the most important one
• 49:03
  Nora: It was award-winning beer and ever since then it has been Pabst Blue Ribbon
• 49:08
  Nora: So this was a really cool time in American history
• 49:12
  Nora: You wouldn't want to go back there if you time-traveled because there was also a murderer named HH Holmes
• 49:17
  Nora: Who was taking advantage of all the travelers and killing people he was he was convicted of 27
• 49:23
  Nora: It was like hundreds more we know it was
• 49:25
  Video: But some people say it was only nine so who knows how many people he killed
• 49:30
  Mandy: No, cause he had like the murder house set up with like a maze and like he would play games of like
• 49:35
  Mandy: Yeah, like how can I kill this one? How will I do this one differently?
• 49:38
  Mandy: How like at least I can appreciate like a scientific curiosity and then he would sell their skeletons to science
• 49:46
  Chris: That's what he did as one does. Yeah, so well, you need some way to finance your murder spree. Oh, no
• 49:51
  Mandy: No, he murder he would marry and murder. Yeah
• 49:54
  Chris: He would also he was a black widow or whatever whatever the man
• 49:59
  Mandy: Wasn't just that it was also anybody who came to stay in his hotel was fair game
• 50:02
  Nora: And he was he was married at least twice at least one time
• 50:06
  Nora: At one time like he married multiple women and like yeah, he would
• 50:11
  Nora: Forge a bunch of documents and he was not a good guy, but very American
• 50:18
  Nora: Yeah, I just wanted to you know, there's it's called the murder castle if you want to read more about this
• 50:22
  Chris: You can read devil in the white city. It's a great book about it. Meanwhile at the Great American State Fair
• 50:30
  Chris: Check out the numbers. I
• 50:33
  Nora: Don't think that's true
• 50:35
  Chris: He really does love AI, doesn't he?
• 50:38
  Chris: Sorry, that's the wrong tab.
• 50:39
  Chris: Here's an actual photo from the Great American State Fair.
• 50:43
  Video: (laughing)
• 50:44
  Video: That's so sad.
• 50:48
  Nora: Yeah, and there's also an Arc de Triomphe,
• 50:51
  Nora: but it's like an Arc de Cardboard.
• 50:53
  Nora: No, I gotta stop doing a bit about it,
• 50:55
  Mandy: 'cause it's just so bad.
• 50:57
  Mandy: They have like, stapled, like they printed out
• 51:00
  Mandy: what looks like brick and like stone,
• 51:03
  Mandy: and then like stapled it on.
• 51:04
  Mandy: It's not good.
• 51:05
  Chris: Wow, my favorite anecdote about that is that
• 51:08
  Chris: Vanilla Ice, who was the one artist
• 51:12
  Chris: with any sort of notoriety who didn't drop out
• 51:16
  Chris: of the festival, his concert got rained out.
• 51:19
  Chris: (laughing)
• 51:22
  Mandy: How many more ways you have to say
• 51:23
  Mandy: the universe doesn't like you here?
• 51:25
  Chris: No kidding.
• 51:26
  Nora: They don't want you here.
• 51:28
  Nora: Yeah, so that was my first event here, I think.
• 51:32
  Chris: Why don't we have World's Fairs anymore?
• 51:34
  Nora: We do.
• 51:35
  Nora: Yeah.
• 51:36
  Nora: We do.
• 51:36
  Nora: My sister got to go to one sponsored
• 51:38
  Nora: by the State Department and she went to Dubai.
• 51:40
  Chris: Nice.
• 51:41
  Chris: For a second there, I thought you were gonna say
• 51:42
  Chris: like sponsored by Carl's Jr.
• 51:44
  Chris: Yeah.
• 51:45
  Nora: Yeah.
• 51:46
  Nora: I mean now.
• 51:46
  Nora: Coca-Cola is the main sponsor of it.
• 51:49
  Nora: And the next one is gonna be in either Seoul or Tokyo.
• 51:53
  Nora: And I think it's coming up soon.
• 51:55
  Mandy: I don't know.
• 51:55
  Mandy: I just remember the 1904 one was where
• 51:58
  Mandy: they invented ice cream cones.
• 52:00
  Mandy: 'Cause before you had penny licks that were like,
• 52:03
  Mandy: they would put them in a little cup
• 52:04
  Mandy: and everyone would lick it and hand it back
• 52:06
  Mandy: and then they'd just do it over again.
• 52:07
  Mandy: Ew. - Yeah.
• 52:09
  Mandy: Ew. - My OCD is not okay with this.
• 52:12
  Mandy: (laughing)
• 52:13
  Mandy: And so they invented ice cream cones at the 1904 one.
• 52:16
  Mandy: Cool. - Yeah.
• 52:18
  Chris: The only thing I know about the World's Fair
• 52:21
  Chris: is that it plays a rather significant plot point
• 52:25
  Chris: in a Simpsons episode where Bart gets a fake ID
• 52:30
  Chris: and decides that they're gonna drive
• 52:31
  Chris: to Knoxville, Tennessee for the World's Fair,
• 52:34
  Chris: not realizing that it had already been years ago
• 52:37
  Chris: when it passed.
• 52:38
  Chris: And all that remained there in the Sun Sphere
• 52:40
  Chris: was a box of soiled wigs that they purchased.
• 52:44
  Chris: 'Cause he's like, "Oh, that's the wig sphere."
• 52:46
  Nora: Yeah.
• 52:47
  Nora: So, okay, I was wrong.
• 52:48
  Nora: The last one was Expo 2025, and that was in Osaka.
• 52:52
  Nora: And then it was there for six months,
• 52:54
  Nora: and the next one will be 3030 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
• 52:58
  Chris: So-- - 3030 or 2030?
• 53:00
  Nora: 2030. - Okay.
• 53:01
  Nora: I was like, "Damn, they're really planning that out."
• 53:03
  Nora: I was like, "I don't know what year it is."
• 53:04
  Nora: I don't think we're gonna make that one.
• 53:07
  Nora: Yeah.
• 53:08
  Nora: Yeah.
• 53:09
  Nora: So I think, let's see, the next one is, what,
• 53:13
  Nora: the Great Molasses Flood?
• 53:14
  Nora: Oh, I love this one.
• 53:15
  Video: It's one of my favorites. - Yeah.
• 53:16
  Video: It's so scary.
• 53:17
  Mandy: I love it.
• 53:18
  Mandy: It's scary.
• 53:19
  Mandy: Oh.
• 53:21
  Mandy: But I also fall asleep watching those
• 53:23
  Mandy: What Went Wrong videos in warehouses and factories.
• 53:27
  Mandy: So I find that one fascinating.
• 53:29
  Mandy: Mm-hmm.
• 53:31
  Chris: Hilarious.
• 53:32
  Chris: This one?
• 53:33
  Chris: (laughing)
• 53:34
  Chris: So, yeah, this happened in 1919,
• 53:37
  Chris: and this happened in North Boston.
• 53:39
  Chris: There was apparently a poorly constructed
• 53:42
  Chris: molasses tank burst.
• 53:44
  Chris: Basically, the entire area flooded with molasses syrup
• 53:48
  Chris: that somehow killed 21 people.
• 53:50
  Mandy: It moved 26 miles an hour.
• 53:52
  Mandy: It was really fast, and really, it was boiling hot.
• 53:54
  Nora: It moved 26 miles an hour.
• 53:56
  Chris: That's nuts.
• 53:57
  Chris: and people apparently smelled molasses for decades.
• 54:01
  Nora: That's the part, you can still smell it.
• 54:03
  Nora: Legend has it you can still smell it today.
• 54:05
  Chris: Really? - Yeah.
• 54:06
  Nora: So what happened was the tank,
• 54:08
  Nora: there was a bunch of cold molasses at the bottom,
• 54:11
  Nora: and then there was a new shipment of molasses
• 54:13
  Nora: that went on top, and it wasn't cooled properly,
• 54:16
  Nora: and then everything was really-
• 54:17
  Nora: It would contract, it was a new one,
• 54:19
  Nora: so it was contracting and expanding incorrectly.
• 54:21
  Nora: And then it hadn't been fixed in a while,
• 54:24
  Nora: And then it was a really warm day in January in Boston,
• 54:28
  Nora: like a 50 degree day.
• 54:30
  Nora: And all of a sudden it started creaking and crumbling
• 54:33
  Nora: and it enveloped cars, it enveloped people,
• 54:36
  Nora: it enveloped horses.
• 54:37
  Nora: Literally like imagine just like all of a sudden
• 54:39
  Nora: being suffocated by like, I don't know, tar.
• 54:42
  Nora: Yeah. - Yeah.
• 54:43
  Nora: And it moved really fast, like 26 miles an hour.
• 54:46
  Nora: You can't outrun that.
• 54:47
  Nora: Yeah, 'cause it wasn't cold.
• 54:48
  Nora: No, you can't outrun that.
• 54:49
  Chris: So why do they say slow as molasses?
• 54:51
  Mandy: Have you ever tried to get molasses out of a jar?
• 54:54
  Mandy: It takes forever. - When it's cold.
• 54:56
  Mandy: Yeah, it's the surface tension.
• 54:58
  Chris: You know what could have solved that?
• 54:59
  Chris: Some meat rain.
• 55:01
  Mandy: Yeah, there you go.
• 55:03
  Mandy: All you needed was like a little,
• 55:04
  Mandy: oh, yeah, smoked me a little sweet, a little salty.
• 55:07
  Mandy: Yeah. - The cleanup must have been
• 55:09
  Mandy: just awful.
• 55:10
  Chris: Yeah, apparently it took like months and months
• 55:12
  Chris: and months to clean that stuff.
• 55:14
  Chris: I couldn't even imagine.
• 55:15
  Nora: Yeah, it was not good.
• 55:16
  Chris: No. - Not good.
• 55:18
  Nora: Okay, next one I think is the sewer Olympics.
• 55:23
  Chris: Yeah, this happened in New Jersey in the 1920s.
• 55:29
  Chris: The local city engineers in Camden, New Jersey
• 55:33
  Chris: were so proud of the new infrastructure
• 55:36
  Chris: that they had built that they actually staged
• 55:38
  Chris: a quote unquote sewer Olympics in their drainage system
• 55:43
  Chris: to crow about how clean the water was.
• 55:46
  Chris: They had competitive drain cleaning and sewage swimming.
• 55:51
  Mandy: We just watched Marble League. I think we could get behind the competitive. That was Paris.
• 55:59
  Chris: I could absolutely get behind this and the only sad thing about it to me
• 56:04
  Nora: is that there's no footage of it because it was the 1920s. It does sound like the Paris Olympics though.
• 56:12
  Nora: Okay I think we have... I love that you're keeping track of it and doing like the numbers.
• 56:16
  Nora: Yeah, we have the Goldsboro, North Carolina incident.
• 56:22
  Chris: Oh yeah, there were-
• 56:23
  Nora: Oh wait, no, no, no, wait.
• 56:25
  Mandy: Wait, no, we have Willie D is next.
• 56:26
  Mandy: Oh, Willie D is mine.
• 56:28
  Mandy: So in college-
• 56:30
  Mandy: Sorry, Chris.
• 56:31
  Mandy: (laughing)
• 56:31
  Mandy: So in college, I ended up in a military history class
• 56:35
  Mandy: not knowing anything.
• 56:37
  Mandy: So it was me and one other girl
• 56:40
  Mandy: in a whole thing full of ROTC.
• 56:42
  Mandy: Yeah.
• 56:43
  Mandy: And that was it.
• 56:44
  Mandy: And my teacher, 'cause I'm very adorable,
• 56:48
  Mandy: would come in and tell me how lovely I smelled.
• 56:50
  Chris: Yeah, lovely.
• 56:51
  Chris: Nice.
• 56:54
  Mandy: Anyways.
• 56:55
  Mandy: (laughing)
• 56:56
  Mandy: I stopped wearing that perfume.
• 56:59
  Mandy: That perfume attracted a certain age range.
• 57:03
  Mandy: (laughing)
• 57:05
  Mandy: I'm not even kidding.
• 57:06
  Mandy: Oh no.
• 57:07
  Mandy: It was Tiffany's Truest.
• 57:09
  Mandy: Okay.
• 57:10
  Mandy: Anyways.
• 57:10
  Mandy: It's for old ladies.
• 57:12
  Mandy: Apparently.
• 57:14
  Mandy: So Willie D. (laughing)
• 57:18
  Mandy: So Willie D. is, yeah, it was a military boat ship.
• 57:29
  Mandy: And it is the only one that had the entire crew arrested.
• 57:33
  Chris: Oh. - Oh my God,
• 57:34
  Chris: what did they do?
• 57:35
  Mandy: So first of all, it's cursed.
• 57:37
  Mandy: They were leaving and they forgot to pull up the anchor
• 57:40
  Mandy: and almost took out the ship next to them.
• 57:42
  Chris: Oh God. - Nice.
• 57:43
  Mandy: Then while they were going,
• 57:45
  Mandy: so the president was on another ship, right,
• 57:48
  Mandy: going out to sea, so this is World War II,
• 57:51
  Mandy: going out to sea, and so it had an escort,
• 57:54
  Mandy: like a police escort on the ocean,
• 57:57
  Mandy: and so they were escorting it,
• 57:59
  Mandy: and so Willie D. was part of this,
• 58:01
  Mandy: and a depth charge rolled off of the thing
• 58:05
  Mandy: and hit the water, exploded it,
• 58:08
  Mandy: and almost capsized another boat,
• 58:11
  Mandy: and somebody ended up drowning.
• 58:13
  Chris: Oh my God.
• 58:14
  Chris: That's not good.
• 58:15
  Mandy: Because they didn't tie it down properly.
• 58:18
  Chris: Wow.
• 58:19
  Mandy: What happened was the biggie
• 58:21
  Mandy: is they were going to put on a show for FDR, right?
• 58:25
  Mandy: And they were gonna show him like,
• 58:27
  Mandy: look how fast we are with our torpedoes, yeah America.
• 58:31
  Mandy: And so they shot out two like dummy torpedoes
• 58:35
  Mandy: and then accidentally shot out a live one
• 58:39
  Mandy: and aimed it right at the ship that the president was on.
• 58:44
  Mandy: So-- - Oh my.
• 58:45
  Mandy: Yeah. - We're stars and partners.
• 58:46
  Mandy: What happened?
• 58:47
  Mandy: Okay, so rumor has it,
• 58:49
  Mandy: it's secret service pulled out their guns
• 58:53
  Mandy: to try and shoot at the torpedo
• 58:56
  Mandy: as it was coming to the ship.
• 58:58
  Mandy: Well, what else are they gonna do?
• 59:00
  Mandy: (both laughing)
• 59:01
  Mandy: It's not like they're gonna helicopter him out.
• 59:03
  Video: Exactly.
• 59:05
  Mandy: But FDR was like, "Well, we'll need,"
• 59:08
  Mandy: He heard that it was like a live torpedo
• 59:09
  Mandy: and coming towards them.
• 59:10
  Mandy: And he goes, "Wheel me to the edge so that I can see it."
• 59:15
  Mandy: So I don't know if that was bravery,
• 59:17
  Mandy: Hopswa being like, "I want to see my demise if it's coming.
• 59:21
  Mandy: "I wanna look at his eyes," or just fascination.
• 59:24
  Mandy: Luckily, they missed.
• 59:27
  Nora: That is very, I mean, we would have known about it
• 59:29
  Mandy: if they had. (laughing)
• 59:32
  Mandy: He did all these things, like literally,
• 59:33
  Mandy: it was day one, the anchor, day two,
• 59:37
  Mandy: to the depth charge day three shooting at the president
• 59:40
  Video: of the United States with a torpedo.
• 59:43
  Mandy: How'd they all get arrested?
• 59:44
  Mandy: So they did, they just pulled everyone to shore.
• 59:46
  Mandy: It was like, cool, everyone's arrested.
• 59:48
  Mandy: Because that was not cool.
• 59:49
  Mandy: Yeah, 'cause everyone, they thought at the time-
• 59:50
  Mandy: You can't shoot a live round at the president.
• 59:52
  Mandy: Yeah, at the time they thought it might have been
• 59:54
  Mandy: like a Nazi spy thing.
• 59:56
  Mandy: Instead it was just good old American laziness.
• 1:00:00
  Mandy: So they ended up arresting and sentencing one man
• 1:00:05
  Mandy: who was the one who was responsible
• 1:00:06
  Mandy: for the mistake happening.
• 1:00:08
  Mandy: And they did put him in prison,
• 1:00:11
  Mandy: but of course the president pardoned him.
• 1:00:13
  Mandy: Of course, they went on to have
• 1:00:15
  Mandy: horrible other things happen.
• 1:00:17
  Mandy: It was used in World War II for Japan,
• 1:00:20
  Mandy: like in the fight against Japan in the Pacific.
• 1:00:24
  Mandy: And four, they were like, "Oh, they did so well.
• 1:00:28
  Mandy: "They shot down five Japanese whatevers."
• 1:00:33
  Mandy: Yeah, they also shot down three American.
• 1:00:35
  Mandy: (laughing)
• 1:00:36
  Mandy: Oh my god.
• 1:00:38
  Mandy: Planes too.
• 1:00:39
  Mandy: Oh no.
• 1:00:39
  Mandy: So they're like, their score is five and three.
• 1:00:41
  Mandy: Oh, that's not good.
• 1:00:42
  Mandy: And then they were celebrating New Year's
• 1:00:45
  Mandy: and blew up the lawn of the Commodones.
• 1:00:49
  Mandy: (laughing)
• 1:00:51
  Nora: Finally got killed by Kamikaze.
• 1:00:54
  Chris: Yeah, fittingly it was destroyed by a Kamikaze attack
• 1:00:57
  Chris: right at the end of World War II.
• 1:00:58
  Nora: That seems about right.
• 1:00:59
  Nora: Yeah, right?
• 1:01:00
  Mandy: And I am like, yay, you know,
• 1:01:04
  Mandy: That was my little tidbit of history, military history.
• 1:01:10
  Mandy: I like it.
• 1:01:11
  Chris: Wow.
• 1:01:12
  Chris: Just showing the ineptitude of the US military.
• 1:01:16
  Mandy: What do you expect to happen?
• 1:01:17
  Chris: Has been in force for a long time.
• 1:01:20
  Mandy: Well, when you have most of the people,
• 1:01:21
  Mandy: once again, 18 year olds to like 25,
• 1:01:24
  Mandy: I'm like, what do you think is gonna happen?
• 1:01:25
  Nora: Kids gonna kill kids.
• 1:01:27
  Nora: That's why I don't like it.
• 1:01:28
  Nora: Okay, I think the next one is
• 1:01:31
  Nora: the Goldsboro, North Carolina event, Chris.
• 1:01:34
  Chris: Yeah, where did it go?
• 1:01:37
  Chris: Yeah, we probably should have put this in order.
• 1:01:40
  Chris: Yeah, this is another one from the military.
• 1:01:45
  Chris: Two hydrogen bombs were accidentally dropped
• 1:01:48
  Chris: over Goldsboro, North Carolina in 1961.
• 1:01:52
  Chris: A B-52 bomber was flying over the area
• 1:01:56
  Chris: and just started breaking apart in midair.
• 1:01:58
  Chris: Oh my God.
• 1:01:59
  Chris: The really scary part is that
• 1:02:02
  Chris: Three out of the four safety systems failed
• 1:02:05
  Chris: and a firing signal was sent to the core.
• 1:02:08
  Chris: The only reason that one of these bombs did not go off
• 1:02:11
  Chris: was a one, like a single low voltage switch.
• 1:02:15
  Chris: Basically like a light switch.
• 1:02:16
  Chris: Yeah, basically a light switch.
• 1:02:18
  Chris: And the scariest part, as had the bomb gone off,
• 1:02:22
  Chris: it would have been 260 times more powerful
• 1:02:25
  Chris: than the Hiroshima bomb.
• 1:02:26
  Mandy: Okay, but the part that you haven't said anything about
• 1:02:31
  Mandy: is the Air Force base that it came out of
• 1:02:33
  Mandy: has an amazing name.
• 1:02:34
  Mandy: I don't remember what it was.
• 1:02:35
  Mandy: Oh really?
• 1:02:35
  Mandy: I didn't know that.
• 1:02:36
  Mandy: Oh look it up.
• 1:02:36
  Mandy: It's something like,
• 1:02:37
  Mandy: it's like Hard Johnson or Dick Johnson.
• 1:02:39
  Video: It was real, it's real bad.
• 1:02:41
  Mandy: Okay, look it up real fast 'cause it's worth it.
• 1:02:43
  Mandy: Nice.
• 1:02:46
  Mandy: That's insane.
• 1:02:47
  Nora: Oh my gosh.
• 1:02:48
  Nora: I know.
• 1:02:49
  Nora: We could have been blowed up.
• 1:02:51
  Mandy: I mean, it did.
• 1:02:51
  Mandy: It exploded and it, I think, damaged like six houses nearby
• 1:02:55
  Mandy: that had people in it.
• 1:02:56
  Mandy: And it did, like, there were casualties.
• 1:02:59
  Mandy: Right.
• 1:03:01
  Mandy: Man, I should know this much.
• 1:03:02
  Mandy: I feel-
• 1:03:03
  Mandy: Yeah, come on, what the heck?
• 1:03:04
  Chris: Where's the bomb still intact?
• 1:03:05
  Mandy: Wait, wait, wait, does it tell you where it,
• 1:03:08
  Mandy: where you need to know the Air Force base that it was by?
• 1:03:11
  Chris: Let's see.
• 1:03:12
  Mandy: Seymour Johnson.
• 1:03:13
  Mandy: There you go, Seymour Johnson!
• 1:03:16
  Video: That is a good one.
• 1:03:17
  Mandy: (laughing)
• 1:03:17
  Mandy: 'Cause I'm, 'cause internally,
• 1:03:19
  Mandy: I have the same sense of humor as an eighth grade boy.
• 1:03:22
  Mandy: Seymour!
• 1:03:22
  Mandy: (laughing)
• 1:03:23
  Mandy: Some might say-
• 1:03:24
  Chris: Seymour Johnson!
• 1:03:25
  Chris: You could also call it Seymour Dick.
• 1:03:27
  Mandy: Yeah. - Yeah, exactly.
• 1:03:28
  Mandy: No, really?
• 1:03:29
  Mandy: All of the-
• 1:03:31
  Mandy: Ha, ha, I wish I'd gotten that joke.
• 1:03:34
  Mandy: Huh.
• 1:03:35
  Mandy: If I'd gotten that joke earlier,
• 1:03:37
  Mandy: I bet that would've been funny.
• 1:03:39
  Mandy: (laughing)
• 1:03:41
  Nora: All right, I have one more truly American event
• 1:03:44
  Nora: before we move on to our 250th celebration feast.
• 1:03:49
  Chris: Feast.
• 1:03:50
  Nora: The 2008 Balloon Boy Hoax.
• 1:03:53
  Chris: And this one hits close to home.
• 1:03:54
  Chris: This actually happened right where we are
• 1:03:56
  Chris: here in Fort Collins.
• 1:03:57
  Chris: Behind my house.
• 1:03:58
  Nora: I remember when it happened.
• 1:04:01
  Nora: This was also during the time of the swine flu.
• 1:04:04
  Nora: So I do have a picture from, this is like the 10-year memory, remembering it.
• 1:04:10
  Nora: But in October of 2009, there was a report of a six-year-old being trapped inside a giant
• 1:04:18
  Nora: helium balloon that was floating and it ended up going across state lines, or county lines,
• 1:04:23
  Nora: sorry.
• 1:04:25
  Nora: And it was like multiple mile chase where we thought that Falcon was in this balloon.
• 1:04:31
  Nora: And it turns out he was in the garage the whole time hiding because his parents wanted
• 1:04:37
  Nora: to do some kind of fancy thing.
• 1:04:39
  Nora: And I remember when the balloon came down, like, "He's not in the balloon.
• 1:04:41
  Nora: He's not in the balloon.
• 1:04:43
  Nora: Oh my God, what's going on?"
• 1:04:45
  Chris: Yeah, I mean, this event captured national attention.
• 1:04:48
  Nora: Yeah, it did.
• 1:04:48
  Nora: Yeah.
• 1:04:49
  Nora: They ended up moving to Florida because this is far more Florida man behavior.
• 1:04:54
  Nora: They ended up asking, like Fallon was on, one of the kids was on some talk show and
• 1:04:58
  Nora: they were asked about the event and the kid just like projectile vomited instead of answering
• 1:05:02
  Nora: the question about if it was a hoax or not.
• 1:05:04
  Mandy: Yeah, but no, but he said something first that was pretty like incriminating.
• 1:05:08
  Mandy: Like, "Oh, I did what my dad told me to," and then like, "Brrr."
• 1:05:11
  Mandy: Yeah, and then he yarked on TV.
• 1:05:14
  Nora: Basically they were required to pay like $36,000 back to, back for, to reimburse all of the
• 1:05:22
  Nora: emergency funds that they wasted their time.
• 1:05:25
  Nora: And Governor Jared Polis pardoned them in 2020.
• 1:05:29
  Nora: I think there's like a Netflix documentary on this.
• 1:05:31
  Nora: Called Trainwreck Balloon Boy.
• 1:05:32
  Chris: There is, and here's a shot of the rescue teams
• 1:05:37
  Chris: looking for the balloon.
• 1:05:39
  Chris: It was like, they had round the clock news coverage
• 1:05:42
  Chris: on this when it happened.
• 1:05:43
  Chris: And I was so, so embarrassed for this town.
• 1:05:47
  Video: Oh my God.
• 1:05:48
  Chris: Because long before we were really known
• 1:05:52
  Chris: Beer and for our high housing prices this it was this it was this they're like, oh you're from the balloon boy place
• 1:05:59
  Nora: I'm yeah, and also the when we threw red at
• 1:06:03
  Nora: Smash mouth. We're known for that. I do you like that one was a good one
• 1:06:08
  Nora: That's that only happened a few years ago though. It's 20. It was a while ago and
• 1:06:13
  Mandy: 2011 was it really? Yeah, it was before I was here. Mm-hmm. Yeah, it was a long time
• 1:06:17
  Mandy: It was pretty long ago, but the footage is excellent. If you haven't seen that yeah
• 1:06:21
  Nora: Yeah, go watch us throw bread at Steve from Smash Mouth.
• 1:06:26
  Nora: The band is like trying to play All Star
• 1:06:28
  Video: and he's like cursing at the crowd.
• 1:06:31
  Video: The bassist is like trying to take over the scene.
• 1:06:33
  Video: They're like trying to sing All Star
• 1:06:35
  Video: and he's like, "Fuck you guys!"
• 1:06:37
  Chris: "Oh, we've got the footage!"
• 1:06:38
  Chris: So this was 2015 when this happened.
• 1:06:41
  Chris: And yeah, so there's an annual event
• 1:06:43
  Chris: called Taste of Fort Collins.
• 1:06:45
  Chris: It's every summer, just down the street here.
• 1:06:47
  Chris: and they usually bring a couple of reasonably well-known
• 1:06:52
  Chris: headline acts to perform each of the days
• 1:06:55
  Chris: and Smash Mouth was the headliner on this day.
• 1:06:57
  Chris: And yeah, correct me if I'm wrong,
• 1:07:01
  Chris: but there was some booth that was handing out
• 1:07:03
  Chris: free bread samples to people.
• 1:07:04
  Chris: I think it was Panera.
• 1:07:05
  Chris: Might have been Panera, but anyway,
• 1:07:07
  Chris: yeah, they started throwing bread at the band.
• 1:07:11
  Chris: Steve.
• 1:07:12
  Chris: And Steve from Smash Mouth,
• 1:07:14
  Chris: who I believe passed away recently.
• 1:07:15
  Chris: He's dead, yeah.
• 1:07:18
  Chris: basically lost it and refused to perform
• 1:07:21
  Chris: and they basically stopped the set short
• 1:07:24
  Chris: because of people throwing bread at him.
• 1:07:26
  Nora: Yeah, and it was because he was slow
• 1:07:28
  Nora: to start the next song.
• 1:07:29
  Nora: Like they were trying to get him to start the next song.
• 1:07:32
  Nora: Well I mean, I don't wanna say like,
• 1:07:33
  Mandy: you're okay to throw things if things don't go your way.
• 1:07:36
  Mandy: It's just bread.
• 1:07:37
  Mandy: It is just bread.
• 1:07:38
  Mandy: It's not a tomato, it's not cabbages, it's just bread.
• 1:07:40
  Mandy: I mean, I would appreciate it more
• 1:07:42
  Mandy: if it was tomato or cabbages.
• 1:07:44
  Mandy: Like let's hold onto that bread, bread's amazing.
• 1:07:46
  Mandy: Let's not waste it.
• 1:07:47
  Mandy: I'd eat the bread before we kill it.
• 1:07:48
  Mandy: Here we go.
• 1:07:53
  Mandy: (laughing)
• 1:07:54
  Mandy: He's just like coming out of the ground.
• 1:07:56
  Mandy: No, he like yells like, "Come at me, whoever's story is."
• 1:07:59
  Mandy: Fuck you.
• 1:08:01
  Mandy: Security has to like hold him back.
• 1:08:05
  Mandy: (laughing)

• 1:08:28
  Chris: I don't know that this qualifies as a stupid moment
• 1:08:31
  Chris: in American history, but it's certainly
• 1:08:32
  Chris: a stupid moment in Fort Collins.
• 1:08:34
  Video: I think it does.
• 1:08:35
  Nora: I feel like it does.
• 1:08:37
  Nora: Yeah.

  Chris: I mean what else is there really?
• 1:09:48
  Nora: Yeah it's really the most American of it.
• 1:09:50
  Mandy: I mean you know what when you first said like hey I have the idea for this,
• 1:09:54
  Mandy: I went this is gonna be real hard because everything in American history is slavery.
• 1:09:57
  Mandy: Like why do we do this slavery? Why do we do this slavery? Like there's no...
• 1:10:00
  Mandy: That was my first thought too.
• 1:10:02
  Mandy: Right? And so I'm like how am I supposed to find...

  Mandy: Like oh how about we talk about the African slave trade? Cool.

  Chris: that we can laugh at.
• 1:10:20
  Chris: Congratulations, America.
• 1:10:22
  Chris: 250 years of silliness.

  Nora: Of crap.
• 1:11:37
  Nora: Like none of this is good for us.
• 1:11:38
  Nora: Good.
• 1:11:38
  Nora: We are gonna really-
• 1:11:39
  Nora: And I doubt any of it will be good.
• 1:11:41
  Nora: And then the last thing that we have
• 1:11:43
  Nora: is we are reprising the Dr. Pepper flavored sausage
• 1:11:48
  Nora: because I found the bratwurst and they were only $5.
• 1:11:52
  Nora: So-
• 1:11:52
  Chris: The bratwurst have gotta be better than the hot dogs.
• 1:11:54
  Mandy: No, I think they're gonna be worse
• 1:11:57
  Mandy: and hear me out because it's gonna be less processed.
• 1:12:00
  Mandy: So the flavor is gonna be-
• 1:12:03
  Mandy: More. - More.
• 1:12:04
  Nora: I'll tell you guys about the cooking process
• 1:12:06
  Nora: after we eat them. - Cool.
• 1:12:07
  Nora: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:12:07
  Nora: It was quite an interesting experience
• 1:12:09
  Nora: because I did have to cook raw Dr. Pepper flavored meat
• 1:12:12
  Nora: and that felt a little bit different.
• 1:12:14
  Nora: And also it was like on a stove top where our intern-
• 1:12:17
  Nora: Oh, no, no, no, spoiler!
• 1:12:17
  Nora: Oh, okay.
• 1:12:18
  Nora: No, but the intern last time cooked it in an air fryer.
• 1:12:21
  Nora: And so when it was in the air fryer, there just wasn't,
• 1:12:24
  Nora: I don't think we had the same level of issues
• 1:12:27
  Video: that I ended up with.
• 1:12:29
  Mandy: No, but it aerosolized the stench of the Dr. Pepper
• 1:12:32
  Mandy: and it was wretched when we got done.
• 1:12:34
  Chris: It was gnarly.
• 1:12:35
  Mandy: It was not good.
• 1:12:36
  Mandy: It was so bad.
• 1:12:37
  Mandy: I think that installed like a new rule
• 1:12:40
  Mandy: about like no stinky food in the studio.
• 1:12:41
  Mandy: Yeah.
• 1:12:42
  Nora: And I would like to do a tinned fish trial
• 1:12:45
  Nora: because I think all of us would hate it,
• 1:12:47
  Nora: but we can't do it in the studio
• 1:12:49
  Nora: because this is a windowless room.
• 1:12:51
  Nora: This is windowless.
• 1:12:52
  Nora: The room over there, windowless.
• 1:12:54
  Nora: We don't have a way to air it out.
• 1:12:56
  Nora: So like we have to be cautious, I should say.
• 1:12:59
  Nora: Yeah.
• 1:12:59
  Nora: So where are we starting?
• 1:13:00
  Nora: We have a shit ton of things to be quite frank.
• 1:13:04
  Nora: And I think we should start with what's been sitting
• 1:13:06
  Nora: on the table out.
• 1:13:07
  Nora: Because we have, so we have our AmeriCorn vanilla popcorn,
• 1:13:14
  Nora: but vanilla flavored caramel corn.
• 1:13:16
  Nora: So popcorn, popcornopolis, AmeriCorn.
• 1:13:20
  Mandy: I feel like most of the things we're gonna be eating
• 1:13:23
  Mandy: are questionable.
• 1:13:24
  Mandy: I think this is the only one that's gonna be really good.
• 1:13:25
  Chris: Yeah.
• 1:13:25
  Chris: And for anyone in other countries
• 1:13:28
  Chris: who doesn't have this level of buffoonery,
• 1:13:31
  Chris: the US government and the current administration
• 1:13:34
  Chris: has had a years long budget and plan
• 1:13:39
  Chris: to roll out things for America's 250th.
• 1:13:42
  Chris: So companies were incentivized to create patriotic versions
• 1:13:47
  Chris: of whatever it is that they make.
• 1:13:49
  Chris: And that's why we have the abominations you see before you.
• 1:13:53
  Mandy: Delicious abomination.
• 1:13:55
  Mandy: The caramel corn is amazing.
• 1:13:58
  Mandy: What do you think, Chris?
• 1:13:59
  Chris: Let's give it a shot.
• 1:14:00
  Chris: I'm gonna try the blue one first.
• 1:14:01
  Mandy: I'd like it too.
• 1:14:03
  Mandy: Ooh, did it stain my tongue?
• 1:14:05
  Mandy: No.
• 1:14:06
  Nora: If you ate like the whole bag.
• 1:14:09
  Chris: Okay, it doesn't, it tastes like caramel corn.
• 1:14:11
  Chris: It doesn't have a flavor really.
• 1:14:12
  Mandy: Like vanilla, yeah, vanilla caramel corn.
• 1:14:14
  Chris: Yeah, like the, it's just blue food coloring.
• 1:14:16
  Mandy: That's good.
• 1:14:17
  Mandy: That being said, the more I eat,
• 1:14:18
  Mandy: the more the fake vanilla isn't doing it for me.
• 1:14:21
  Mandy: Oh, okay.
• 1:14:22
  Nora: You prefer a regular caramel corn?
• 1:14:23
  Nora: I think so.
• 1:14:24
  Nora: Okay.
• 1:14:25
  Nora: Next we have the red, white and blue Christian Pulisic.
• 1:14:30
  Nora: Pulisic, probably.
• 1:14:31
  Nora: (paper crinkling)
• 1:14:34
  Nora: Holy shit.
• 1:14:34
  Nora: Holy shit.

  Mandy: So here they are, the little-
• 1:14:48
  Video: Red, white, and blue sour patch briefs.
• 1:14:49
  Mandy: I redid them so that I could make sure
• 1:14:50
  Mandy: I had red, white, and blue.
• 1:14:52
  Mandy: Yeah, yeah, so.
• 1:14:54
  Nora: (humming)
• 1:14:55
  Nora: I don't know, each of them are their normal flavors.
• 1:14:58
  Nora: Blue raspberry, lemon.
• 1:15:01
  Chris: Raspberry, okay, and red berry not great coming after the caramel corn. What the hell is red berry? It's red red

  Mandy: Here's my thing
• 1:15:27
  Chris: There's just a sour patch kid just colors died. Yeah, they're just they're just vaguely patriotic things. Yeah
• 1:15:35
  Nora: But you're gonna have to share this bag. That's where we leave. I
• 1:15:39
  Nora: Don't want to send you home with a full bag of our patch kids Chris
• 1:15:44
  Chris: Send me home with a full bag of sour patch kids, okay

  Chris: I agree. I'd say a four or five. I
• 1:16:11
  Chris: Kind of have a high bar for what I'd give a five Wow
• 1:16:15
  Nora: Nothing that is gonna work then I'd say the caramel corn is like a three and a half
• 1:16:18
  Chris: I referred if it was regular car. Yeah agreed. I'd say three maybe four
• 1:16:24
  Nora: Okay, so the neck so we're doing the we do our firecrackers. These are firecracker pop
• 1:16:30
  Nora: flavored cream
• 1:16:32
  Nora: So these are this is the only one I was actually excited to try
• 1:16:39
  Chris: Because Oreo is known for doing crazy flavors, so these are blue raspberry
• 1:16:47
  Nora: Lemon and cherry flavored cream so along the same flavors as our sour patch kids
• 1:16:52
  Chris: Wait, so they're all in one. It's not separated. Yeah, I don't like that cuz that's how America goes. I don't like that
• 1:17:00
  Mandy: You know, I don't like Oreos. I
• 1:17:03
  Mandy: don't

  Chris: Look at the but you get the red white and blue in in the cream though, which is kind of fun
• 1:17:09
  Mandy: Okay, I like this better than normal Oreos
• 1:17:12
  Mandy: It's like cake frosting. I know I love cake frosting. That's the only thing I like about. Oh my god, you know what?
• 1:17:17
  Mandy: You're gonna be a found an Oreo. I like

• 1:17:27
  Chris: that are only around for a couple of weeks.
• 1:17:29
  Nora: Oh yeah, of course.
• 1:17:31
  Nora: Feel like it would be good if there was
• 1:17:32
  Nora: like a raspberry lemon without the cherry.
• 1:17:35
  Nora: Like I don't think it needs a cherry.
• 1:17:37
  Nora: I'm a raspberry lemon kind of girl.
• 1:17:38
  Nora: Love a raspberry lemon flavor.
• 1:17:40

  Nora: It's like a two and a half for me.
• 1:17:59
  Nora: I really enjoy it.
• 1:18:00
  Chris: I prefer any other flavor of Oreo.
• 1:18:01
  Chris: It's very enjoyable.
• 1:18:01
  Chris: I don't really go for the Oreo gimmick flavors.
• 1:18:06
  Chris: I like the chocolate cream and that's about it.
• 1:18:08
  Chris: But all the, like the lemon stuff and all the other ones,
• 1:18:11
  Chris: not for me.
• 1:18:12
  Chris: This is really good.
• 1:18:14
  Mandy: I would give it a four.
• 1:18:16
  Mandy: I'm enjoying it, which is surprising for me
• 1:18:18
  Mandy: 'cause I'm not a sweets girl.
• 1:18:19
  Mandy: But Sour Patch Kids.
• 1:18:21
  Mandy: If I can eat plastic, I'm happy.

  Nora: I do like the feeling of eating plastic as well.
• 1:18:27
  Nora: Okay.
• 1:18:28
  Chris: Kids don't eat plastic.
• 1:18:29
  Nora: What are we thinking?
• 1:18:30
  Nora: Should we try our sweets next
• 1:18:32
  Nora: or should we switch to savor?
• 1:18:33
  Nora: We have two more sweets.
• 1:18:34
  Nora: Let's do sweets.
• 1:18:35
  Chris: Okay.
• 1:18:35
  Chris: Let's get the sweets out of the way.

  Chris: Oh my God, she has more.

  Nora: Do you want to smell them?
• 1:19:08
  Nora: No, it'll just make it hurt more.
• 1:19:11
  Nora: It smells like...
• 1:19:12
  Chris: All right, which one are we trying first?
• 1:19:14
  Nora: The Oreos, no, sorry, Cheerios.
• 1:19:17
  Chris: Okay.
• 1:19:18
  Nora: They smell kind of cakey.
• 1:19:21
  Mandy: Well you know what, I am ranking the Cheerios zero
• 1:19:23
  Mandy: because I can't eat them.
• 1:19:25
  Chris: That's fair.
• 1:19:27
  Mandy: Well.
• 1:19:27
  Nora: They're like a sweet Cheerio.
• 1:19:31
  Nora: Well.
• 1:19:34
  Chris: I don't get birthday cake off of it.
• 1:19:37
  Chris: I get, I just get fake sugar off of it.
• 1:19:41
  Nora: Yeah, they're like sweet Cheerios.
• 1:19:43
  Nora: I mean.
• 1:19:43
  Nora: They smelled more cakey when I like opened the bag.
• 1:19:46
  Chris: Honestly, if you put these and Honey Nut Cheerios
• 1:19:51
  Chris: in a blind taste test, I couldn't tell one way or the other
• 1:19:54
  Chris: which one was which.
• 1:19:55
  Nora: Really?
• 1:19:55
  Nora: I mean, the only thing that's different
• 1:19:56
  Nora: is just they have flecks on them to celebrate.
• 1:19:59
  Nora: They have like these guys on them.
• 1:20:00
  Chris: Yeah, they're Honey Nut Cheerios with flecks on them.
• 1:20:02
  Nora: But they're not honey.
• 1:20:04
  Nora: They're just sugar, so they're not as good for you.
• 1:20:06
  Chris: Yeah, but they taste like the Honey Nut one.
• 1:20:07
  Nora: They do.
• 1:20:08
  Nora: I think I probably will eat them.
• 1:20:10
  Nora: Oh crap, I just swallowed one.
• 1:20:10
  Chris: Okay, so I would give them a two or a three,
• 1:20:15
  Chris: Only because it's false advertising.
• 1:20:17
  Nora: Yeah.
• 1:20:18
  Video: I like cinnamon twist crunch.
• 1:20:21
  Nora: They do smell like cake, but they don''t taste like cake.
• 1:20:24
  Nora: All right.
• 1:20:25
  Nora: Root beer floats. - Oh my God.

  Video: It's both, it's Cinnamon Toast Crunch
• 1:20:49
  Video: and it's a root beer barrel.
• 1:20:51
  Chris: Oh my God, that's so wrong.
• 1:20:53
  Chris: That is disgusting.
• 1:20:54
  Chris: Okay, maybe milk would cut it somewhat.
• 1:20:58
  Chris: That's kind of what I was thinking.
• 1:20:59
  Video: I feel like this might,
• 1:21:01
  Mandy: but I don't like root beer floats.
• 1:21:03
  Mandy: Okay.
• 1:21:03
  Mandy: They're too sweet.
• 1:21:04
  Mandy: I don't do dairy even fake dairy. So my cereal is always eaten dry
• 1:21:12
  Chris: I'm not taking another bite. Nope. That's um, I'm willing to try it with milk, but dry no bueno
• 1:21:20
  Mandy: Can I make the husband come in and taste this and off-camera? That's up to you. That's that's between you and your husband
• 1:21:27
  Mandy: Might need to try. Oh my god. I want to see him try this just cuz I want him to be grossed out
• 1:21:31
  Mandy: That was, I don't want to go down a load.
• 1:21:35
  Mandy: Why is it root beer flavored cereal?
• 1:21:36
  Mandy: It's so wrong, 'cause America, root beer, America.
• 1:21:39
  Chris: I don't understand how root beer is like supposed to be
• 1:21:41
  Mandy: inherently American. - Wait, but it is.
• 1:21:43
  Mandy: But it is, but it is, because like Sassafras,
• 1:21:45
  Mandy: the history, oh my God, wait, wait, my husband's in.

  Mandy: We have Sassafras. - Please try it.

  Mandy: Oh, you guys just saw his hand.
• 1:21:54
  Mandy: He's no longer a stranger to you.
• 1:21:56
  Chris: Yeah, we can identify him by his hand.
• 1:21:59
  Mandy: The intern shrugs.
• 1:22:00
  Mandy: Oh, there's the hand.
• 1:22:03
  Mandy: He exists.
• 1:22:04
  Mandy: I didn't make him up.
• 1:22:05
  Mandy: And?
• 1:22:06
  Mandy: No, yes, okay.
• 1:22:07
  Mandy: Goodbye.
• 1:22:08
  Mandy: (laughing)

  Mandy: It gets worse.
• 1:22:14
  Video: (laughing)
• 1:22:15
  Mandy: He said it gets worse.
• 1:22:17
  Mandy: It does, it does.
• 1:22:19
  Chris: I'm not sure what's worse, the taste or the aftertaste?
• 1:22:22
  Mandy: Y'all, I'm going in for Oreo number two.
• 1:22:25
  Chris: It tastes very root beer-y,
• 1:22:27
  Nora: which is not good for a cereal.
• 1:22:29
  Chris: No, it's really not.
• 1:22:30
  Nora: Like I don't, it tastes like cinnamon toast crunch,
• 1:22:32
  Nora: but then it also tastes like root beer.
• 1:22:33
  Chris: Yeah, and it's like kind of,
• 1:22:35
  Chris: it's kind of like a one, two punch.
• 1:22:37
  Chris: You like eat it and you're like,
• 1:22:38
  Chris: oh, cinnamon toast crunch.
• 1:22:39
  Chris: And then, oh God, what is that?
• 1:22:41
  Nora: Exactly, which is why Mandy's reaction was like that.
• 1:22:44
  Nora: That's why it was like,
• 1:22:45
  Nora: and that's why my reaction was that way too,
• 1:22:46
  Nora: because it is a one, two punch.
• 1:22:48
  Nora: First you taste the cinnamon toast crunch,
• 1:22:49
  Nora: and then again. - You're like,

  Nora: and then get back to me.
• 1:22:57
  Chris: I'll try it with milk.

  Nora: Yeah. - Okay.

  Nora: Yeah, so-- - It's still America.

  Chris: Yeah, so it's weird.
• 1:23:24
  Chris: There's, you know, not only is it America 250,
• 1:23:28
  Chris: which the rest of the world doesn't care about,
• 1:23:29
  Chris: but it's, yeah, the World Cup's going on right now,
• 1:23:31
  Chris: so that's why some of this stuff exists.
• 1:23:33

  Nora: Oh, these were not fun to cook
• 1:28:09
  Nora: They splatter everywhere like regular bratwurst, but they're sticky and so they splatter stickiness all over
• 1:28:17
  Nora: Everything and then so the way you're supposed to cook them is you're supposed to like get them caramelly on both sides
• 1:28:22
  Nora: You're supposed to put a half a cup of water in yeah
• 1:28:24
  Nora: I let him boil a little bit, and then you take the lid off boiling and it's just dr. Pepper
• 1:28:39
  Mandy: here for the first round, right?

• 1:29:08
  Mandy: it's all the same.
• 1:29:09
  Mandy: Which is what I agreed, but-
• 1:29:11
  Nora: I didn't make it that far to do that.
• 1:29:13
  Chris: I didn't, it was terrible.

  Nora: I was excited about the bratwurst,
• 1:29:21
  Mandy: I thought maybe these would be better.
• 1:29:23
  Mandy: I looked at the package and I was really
• 1:29:24
  Mandy: crossing my fingers hoping I was allergic

  Chris: the Dr. Pepper flavor is not,
• 1:30:23
  Chris: it's just, it's faint.
• 1:30:25
  Chris: It's not overpowering.
