• 1:11
  Speaker 1: no agenda, folks, We've got no agenda on this one.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I talked to Eric and said, why don't we talk
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: about some things we might have learned, some bizarre, really
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: ridiculous like things that we learned throughout twenty twenty five.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: So we're kind of, I guess, kind of get into
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: some of those things a little bit. But we really
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: don't have an agenda. I don't know, man. Like I've
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: been thinking about twenty twenty five Eric, and like reflecting
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: on it. I've reposted the Eagles post game show this
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: past week that you and I did after the Eagles
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl win. That has to be the greatest moment
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: of twenty twenty five in the world of Philly sports.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, it has to be right, it's not even close. Yeah,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, like what else could it be? Go through
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: each go through all four teams. Yeah, like it's yeah,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: the Eagles are they won the NFC East and they're
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: going to the playoffs. But wow, uh yeah, not a
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: fun not a fun season. The Phillies let us down again.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: I think the Sixers drafted Edgecomb might be number two.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: It might act year. I mean it's just yeah.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: That's kind of It's kind of how it's been this year.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: It's been kind of like, yeah, but the Flyers getting
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Trevor Zgres Yes, yes, I love that. You Yeah, well
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: I try to get his jersey. My god, you can't.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: You couldn't get it for Christmas anywhere. It was principle,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: it was He's Forester Coturia. I'm all in, dude, And
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: like they actually have some good goalkeeping, yeah.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Which is shocking.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: And it's like a it's a tandem situation, which is
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: like when's the last time that happened in Philadelphia? Yeah, like, yeah,
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: it's it. I think the Flyers are a huge like
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: going into twenty twenty six. You know, if the Eagles
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: bomb out in the playoffs and the Sixers keep playing
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: five hundred ball, like the are right now. I mean
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: I'm watching over here. Uh it's high game forty three seconds.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: But yeah, the Flyers might be like the one of
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: the the top story going into the next season.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they might be each year.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I mean I've also been thinking too, you know, it
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: could be worse than being a Philadelphia sports fan. You know,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: you look at you look at teams like maybe down
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: in you know, Tennessee, you know, like you've got the Grizzlies,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: who aren't all that great of a team. Yeah, Tennessee
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Titans really not all that great of a team. Like
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: what there are certain markets out there where you're like,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: you know what, just I would it would be terrible
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: if I was, if I was in that fan base,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: you know. And I think we're pretty lucky here in
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the world of phillyp sports here into twenty twenty fives,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: we're heading into twenty twenty six.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Can be kind of touched upon.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: A couple of weeks ago, we talked about some other
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: fan bases where you're just like, oh my god, this
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: is brutal. Yeah, like like Vegas is one in New Orleans,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: just I mean, they have a decent quarterback possibly, but
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: like their their football team stinks or basketball team might leave.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: I mean that that is not a great situation down
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of there's a lot of city like
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Miami's not not very good at sports. Yea, yeah, yeah,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: it could be far far worse. That absolutely could. I'm
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: grateful to be a Philadelphia fan. Oh, let's do New
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Year's resolution. How many podcasts are doing that?
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I know, I know, I hate resolutions. I hate resolutions.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I do. I do things called intentions, all right, I
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: know that's what I do. The intentions. Someone's going to therapy.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Somebody knows what intentions are about, folks.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: We talked about our therapy before every show pretty much,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: yeah this one, but exactly, yeah, exactly.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Look, I don't know if there's anything else you want
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: to get into with Philly sports, you know, before we
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: just get into some random random stuff here. Again, we
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: have no agenda, folks on this particular podcast. But I
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: genuine I genuinely like where every Philly sports team is
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: at right now. I do heading into twenty twenties, I
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: like where they're at right now. Like there's no like
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: one real dominant team, but there is so much promise
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: and each team has some level of intrigue to it
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: that's going to keep us coming back in twenty twenty six.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Each team. Yeah, I mean the six Ers can be
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: awesome in like four or five game stretches.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: They can be awesome in the first, second quarter, by
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the way, and even the fourth every now and then.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you want to talk twenty twenty five
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: things I learned?
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have it right here.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: I play.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Let's get into it.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: I'm in a six Ers thread with some buddies and
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: we're we just marvel at every third quarter. We of
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: course people happen. It's usually tied or they're up like
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: five or six points. Halftime happens, and around halftime is
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: when me and my buddies start texting, Okay, how shitty
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: are they going to look this this third quarter? Because
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: they are by far. I have it in front of me.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: They're five negative five point six in the third quarter
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: point differential on average per per game. So if you
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: added up tonight, they actually want tonight. If you add
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: it up, there at minus one seventy two point my god,
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: total differential point differential every team and they've only played
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: with thirty games, I think, so that is that is dreadful,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: and the teams that are above them Indiana, New Orleans, Utah, Charley,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: the kind of teams you would think. Yeah, but that's
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: something I learned in twenty twenty five is that Nick
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Nurse must take like a sleeping pill at halftime because
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: he just he's done in the third quarter, and then
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: the fourth quarter they pick it back up. Same thing
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: happened tonight. They're tied right now, and but they but
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: they I think they lost the third quarter by seven points.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: It's every fucking game.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: And this isn't just this season.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: This has been happening for the past couple of years,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: like years, this has happened.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: What the fuck is going on here?
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I'm serious. This is the most bizarre thing. Look, they're
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: putting a lot of the bench pieces in during the
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: third quarter.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: We all know that.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: We understand that, like that, that's what happens in professional basketball.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: That's that's what happens. Yeah, majority of third quarter are
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: bench players. But to but to the extent at which
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: they suck so bad during that particular point in time
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: in the game is so bizarre that I can't I
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: can't wrap my head around it.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Well, it's it's like if it's happening and you and
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: you you see the pattern, Like that's when you kind
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: of put in your energy.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Guys.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like Adam Bona should play most third quarters and
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: just sit and be because he brings energy to the
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Cordy block shots. He can score that down by the rim.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: He's the kind of guy you want to get at
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: your team jump started. But I swear to God, I
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: would love to look up his minutes in the third quarter.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Nick Nurse sits that guy and that brings him in
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: the fourth quarter, and it's like, hey, genius. You know
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: he's like a couple of years ago he was a genius.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Now I don't know what the hell he is now, but.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what are you doing right?
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: You got young, young, experience guys with a lot of energy,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: and we're we're putting that corpse out there at the
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: top of the key running the offense and Maxi's you know,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: running around. It's just doesn't work. Points off turnovers are horrible.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Fast break points are horrible because we have we're landlocked
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: at center and we're kind of landlocked at powerful or
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: small forward. Paul George, it's it's it's it's it's is
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: it is.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: It the players really not executing during this time, or
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: is it really Nick Nurse or is it just a
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: combination of both, because I mean, I mean, the the
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: frustrating part is they have been so good putting the
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: ball into the basket in all of the other quarters
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: this season.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't remember this with Doc Rivers, not
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: that Doc was a great coach here in Philly, but
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: like it, it started to become really obvious when Nick
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Nurse came into town. And this year, Yeah, this is
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: the first year I've had like random people that I
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: know are sick fans text me.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: They're af on the third quarter.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Huh.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, just like people who don't follow the
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: stats or do a sports podcast or even notice, like
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: what the fuck are they doing this quarter? They were
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: up six, now they're down ten, and they got us
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: claw their way back in the fourth and Maxi winds
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: up playing forty two minutes and you know, edgecum place
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: thirty eight as a rookie, which he shouldn't be doing, right,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: And that's that's the problem, is you put those miles
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: on the guys in the fourth to come back from
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: the third quarter because you suck so bad, right, yeah.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Well, if there's one thing we're learning here in twenty
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: twenty five heading into twenty twenty six, this shit isn't
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: going to change anytime soon.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, if there was, if.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: There was some magical wand or mechanism to make this change,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I'm sure Nick Nurse and the six Ers organization would
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: be getting this done.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: I just don't think it's going to change anytime soon.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: So no, it's frustrating. It's frustrating. Look, I, as.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I mentioned to you, we're talking about what we wanted
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: to do with this particular show, the last one of
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: the year. I told you that I came across something,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: and I'd love to know if other folks who are
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: listening to this podcast have heard of this. I am
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: absolutely enamored by this growing community of people. So wait, actually,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: let me, let me let me go back. So for
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: years and years, there have been individuals who are getting
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: ready to pass away, and they are getting all their
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: things taken care of, getting their their estate in order,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: they are getting their grave plots, they're getting their gravestones,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: and on their gravestones they actually have recipes like on
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: the back of their gravestones, like family recipes, recipes that
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: are special to them or like kind of family heirloom
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: type of recipes.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: This is becoming more and more of a phenomenon. This
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: is becoming more and more of a thing. I heard
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: about this and I kind of started diving into it
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: one because I because I don't know if it's because
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: of the bizarre nature of it or because I'm intrigued by
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: it as well. I think it might be a little
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: bit of both.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: But as a result of people putting family recipes and
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: their own recipes on the back of their gravestones, there's
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: this community of people who are going like cemetery hopping
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: and cemetery exploring. They're also food enthusiasts as well who
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: are seeking out these recipes on engraved gravestones here. And
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: what they're doing is they're trying to honor that person,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: trying to preserve that person's family history. They do a
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: little deep dive into them, They get online, see who
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: they are, what they meant to their community, and they
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: create these tangible connections to these individuals through the taste
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: of food and through their memory, and there's like an
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: online community that gets together. Somebody actually wrote a book
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: about this believe it or not. It's called to Die
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: for a cookbook of gravestone recipes, and people are like
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: cemetery hopping, like getting into this Eric and I just
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: thought this was one of the most bizarre things that
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: I actually learned in twenty twenty five. I don't know
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: if you have, if you've heard about this at all.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: No, I mean it almost sounds like the beginning of
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: like a Twilight Zone empiasode.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: It kind of does.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: From back in the sixties. No, the first time I
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: heard about it was when we all hung out a
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: couple of days ago.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned I mentioned it real quick. Yeah, yeah,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: And I had a lot of questions.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: It was just like yeah, and a lot of thoughts,
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: like like, first of all, anyone who's an enthusiasts bout
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: anything foodies in particular, Yeah, it can tend to be
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: weird people eccentric eccentric. Yeah, it's a good term for it.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: And like how like one one thought I had was like, well,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: how do they know who has a recipe on the tombstone? Yeah?
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Like like do.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: They go out and like do they go out and
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: scout graveyards right and look for recipes or like.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: There are apparently. So there are some social media hubs
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: out there, for instance, like groups on Facebook. There is
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: a group called the the Graveyard Recipe Club, and they
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: use a lot of hashtags like for TikTok followers and
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. Grave talk is a hashtag that folks
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: can use to find these I know, dude, this is
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: so bizarre to me. And through that book that I
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: just mentioned to die for a cookbook of gravestone recipes.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: It's by a woman named Rosie Grant. By the way,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: if anybody's interested in looking at that, she has a
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: bunch of different not only recipes within the cookbook, but
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: where those grave sites are located throughout the United States.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: So I think there's TikTok, an Instagram account called ghostly
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Archive where people can could check this out as well.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: So there's an online community that's really dedicated to this.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: If people want to dive into it.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Do they get do they make the food and like
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: get together with other.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: People sometimes sometimes yeah, or it or it just might
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: be an individual or maybe they bring their family into
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: it and say we're going to you know, Jane Smith,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: We're going to cook this corn bread recipe. Hold on, yes,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Jane Smith yes, rest in peace, all right, show your
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: respect exactly exactly.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Shame on me for same.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Do some of these recipes on the backs of the
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: tombstone are on the they're on the front, right, they'd
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: be crazy.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: I think they're on the back, mostly on the back.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Because like your name's on the back of the recipes
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: in the front.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: They stir fry, you know, like are.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: They like online recipes where they put like where they
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: went on vacation last summer, and then at the very
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: bottom is the is the recipe?
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Like I would love that, if ever the case, I
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: don't know, I don't think that.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: I think it's just the recipe and I think it's
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: the it's just.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: You know, it's probably old school ones like and deep
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: in the family kind of thing.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, okay, yeah, And.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: It's a way for the folks who were involved in
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: this community looking this stuff up, Like they'll dive into
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: a person's history, who they were to their community, or
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: what they did with their life, their life, where they worked,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: you know, if they had any sort of influence within
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: their you know, their city that they lived in or
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: or whatever their community, and it's it's about really kind
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: of just bringing that all together learning about somebody's history,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: and it's it's for history buffs too. And look, I'm
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: somebody who loves history. I'm not diving into this stuff
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: really too. And I love food too, obviously, but but
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: but I'm not really going to dive into this. I
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: just thought it was so bizarre.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: It is bizarre, and like, I don't know about you.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: I've been to grave sites graveyards to go see family
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: and stuff dead, obviously out from a goth family. We
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: just hang out, bring a cauldron with you. We're just
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: listening to type on egg It is great now, Butler, Yeah, yeah,
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: but like I just I'm always weird about like trying
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: to go like my like my Nana and Pop Popper
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: buried in Redding right next to one another, and it's
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: a massive It's huge, and and there's kind of like
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: a guide in the front trying to figure out where
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: they are. And I just feel weird walking to it
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: because it's not in the middle that I'm walking on
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: other people I know like that that wears me out.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: And then to go in there and be like, oh,
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: where's Jane Smith. I need a chicken souper recipe?
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Just walking over walking over grapese like.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: That.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: That's that's the part is the most is like, that's weird. Yeah,
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: that part is weird.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Some of the cemetery curators actually know where these recipes
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: are within and they can actually help somebody get to it,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Like these cemetery explorers and these cemetery hoppers, they can
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: actually these curators can actually tell them where to go
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: in the cemetery to get the recipe on the gravestone.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Man, it's just it's tell you what, it's really intriguing.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Airing people's fucking expensive.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so like how much actually you got to pay
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: for the recipe on the back of the tombstone.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: It's gotta be like an extra grand.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: It's got to be, seriously, it has to be. Yeah.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Can I just say my one thing I'm grateful for
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: in twenty twenty five is my parents came to me
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: earlier this year and said, hey, we got you a president.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, okay, go ahead, and they're like, we
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: bought our own grave sites.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Yes, like last.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: Week they bought them any town gap because my dad
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: was in a military Yeah, and yeah, they bought their
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: own their own things. And so when they when they
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: go my brother and I just have to like get
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: the urn sticking in the thing.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: It's still gonna cost money to burn him. Yeah, you know,
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: whatever you do. But like, but that was one of
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: my favorite, one of my best gift I got this year.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: It's a great that they paid for them.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: It's like, isn't it like fifteen twenty thousand dollars to
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: like have a memorial service bury somebody? You know, It's
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: it's really expensive. You can go into debt just burying
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: your your loved ones.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't hold on.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: I think VJ just hit a game winning three?
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Did he? Really?
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: Did he?
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: That's why we stand Jeff, Oh there's one second left
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: in overtime or point one?
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: I can't.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's what happens, guys.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Yeah that's yes. Boy, we just went
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: from graveyards to v to VJ hitting the three.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But no, that was an awesome gift.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like, oh, that just got to a drawer
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: or something and then I'm done. Yeah, So leave.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Us a comment if you're watching on YouTube about this.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: I want to hear different folks.

  Speaker 1: hopping recipes on the back of gravestones and this entire
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: online community. I'd love to hear from you. Leave us
• 19:25

  Speaker 1: touch with us, shoot us off an email. Philadelphia Sports
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Table at gmail dot com. Love to love to hear
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: from you. I mean, what are some things you learned
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: here twenty twenty five, anything like this?
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: I mean that one's that one's kind of macab. Yeah,
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: we're going to cover a couple like categories here the
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: macab but historical kind of thing. Yeah.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: That's that's kind of become very big in this country.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Is that. You know, there's a lot of like bars
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: into like dark like death kind of stuff, but like
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: not not like not like horror film, but like like
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: the Coffin Bar in Lancaster. We went there, yes, yeah,
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: and it great. Yeah, it was cool. But I have
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: I have one here that's more scientific. And this one
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: jumped out to me. I read about this earlier the year,
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: kind of forgot about it and then you know, we
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: talked about doing the show and I was like, let
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: mean go me go find that one. And it's it's
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: something you're going to start watching people closer when you're talking. Okay,
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: because it's stuck for some reason, this study that was
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: done earlier this year at Concording University, it really stuck
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: with me. And it's they they did a they had
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: fifty adults and they tested the how much how much
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: people like, how much blinking people do when they're trying
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: to listen to somebody really listen and understand, And they
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: found that it's that that blinking is based is based
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: more on cognitive I'm having in front of me, because
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: I don't want to get wrong cognitive demands rather than
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: how light changes or our need to blink, like get
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: dry or something like that. We have to like, you know,
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: do that. But people who are truly really trying to
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: listen to somebody understand, they blink far less. And in
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: the rooms like they had bright light here, they had
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: other rooms where there was pitch black, and they found
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: that people blinked at the same rate pretty much regardless
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: of light, regardless of like if someone had drier eyes
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: than someone else. And it basically like I never thought
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: about this, but if someone is really listening to you,
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: you're talking like and they're kind of like this like
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: watching you, you'll not like they don't blink as much
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: if they're really listening and trying to understand what you're saying.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Even with like even especially if there's like sound, if
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: it was like dissonant sounds, like crowd sounds or something,
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: they'll they'll be more prone to keep their eyes open.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: But it it it jumped out to me that like
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: has nothing to do with light.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, of course, if you.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: Have a light right here, you're gonna blink right right right,
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: But natural light in a room or no light at all,
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: or even like if you're if your eyes are like
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: kind of itchy, you still your body's still more prone
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: if you're you.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Know, if you have cognitive like there's some people.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: In the countries they don't have that going right, really
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: trying to understand like the people, people won't blink as much.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: So if you're talking to somebody and you're trying to
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: really get into something and they're like this, like then
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: you know, like either stupid or not listening.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Right, Eric was blinking a lot there before you listen
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: into the audio, I should just start like blinking my
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: ass off when you're talking on this show.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Just oh really, really. Oh, Jeff, that's interesting. Yeah, it's great. Yeah,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: more sixers.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what's like when you go on by the Eagles, Like,
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: I'm just like, right, no, no clazing out forty eight
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: minutes into the postgame show, Oh my god, I'm going
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: over third quarter status, yes, minutes.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: It's it's interesting you mentioned this because in the field
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: of communications that I've worked in and for so many years,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: it's it's kind of like an unspoken part of of
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: just communications in general. I think when you're when you're
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: like I because like, I've actually read a bunch of
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: articles not necessarily on blinking, but making sure that you
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: are connecting with somebody who's telling a story to you
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: in any way, whatever the story is, whether it's something
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: work related, whether it's something that you know, a family
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: members talking to you about. Just the the insistence on
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: looking somebody in the eye. Actually like but but you
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: can get too creepy with it. You can like, oh
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: my gosh, that's really boy, that's great news. That's my
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: eyes are bugging out here.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: I think if they bug out it's a tally difference.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely, But it's it's it's a really interesting study
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: that you just like mentioned there because like there's something
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: to it. And I think things have changed a little
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: bit too since COVID, since so many of us just
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: don't get together with folks as much anymore. We don't
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: get together with people as much. We don't really have
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: one to one conversations or even like group of times
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: conversations with people as much as we used to. We
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: just don't, you know, We're just more of an online
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: world anymore. And I think because of that, it's it's
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: it's easy for people to get uncomfortable, and if you're
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: seeing somebody blinking their ass off, they're just like, it's
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: it's a really interesting it's a really interesting phenomenon that
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: you just mentioned.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: Well, I watched a lot of murder mystery things. Yeah,
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: and whenever there's an interrogation.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like the true crime stuff.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: You mean, yeah, if the guy's not a complete narcissistic sociopath, right,
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: who can just do this the whole time? Ye, if
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: they're guilty and they're like normal people, like, they'll tend
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: to be like like.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: That kind of thing.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: But I think it also it was interesting to me
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: because I was like, I know, okay, one of our
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: best friends, Dave, I'd say, is an introvert a little bit?
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: They cant hit the nail on the.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: Head there, buddy, I'm kind of in the middle. You're
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: way up here, they way down here.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: I think jay Len and I are in.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: The middle somewhere in there. But like, even an introvert
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: is a hard time looking at somebody all the time.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: I think if you didn't further study, you notice like
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: if they were looking down a bunch because they have
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: a hard time with eye contact. Yeah, they're not blinking,
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: but they're not looking at you. They're trying to listen.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: They're trying. Like that study kind of proves that even
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: an introvert is totally listening to you, yeah, and trying
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: to understand what you're saying, and they're probably not blinking as.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Much if you're talking about something interesting and that like.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: The quarter success stats. So yeah, interesting. I like this.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: It's a great topic. It's a great topic.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Leave us a comment, watching on Facebook or if you're watching, yeah,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: let us know what you think about this too. We'd
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: love to get some more comments on our Facebook or
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Facebook on our YouTube channel here.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Huh those old people on the Facebook. I'm off the Facebook,
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: you are. I got rid of it this year. Yeah,
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: if I didn't have my job, I'd be off of
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: it in the second. I really would. It was like
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: one too many.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: The boss of Facebook Zuckerberg. Yeah, it's like stealing your
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: data and ship and I'm like, oh, I'm out.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: This is ridiculous, stealing, stealing our data, stealing who we are,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: and and make it just making what hundreds of millions
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: of dollars and bunkers throughout the world bunk Yeah, okay, Zuck,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: why do you think you need a bunker?
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Like, what do you think is going to happen here?
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Why people want to kill him?
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, not me, not Jeff. I'm just saying there's people,
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: the public. That's why all these idiots are trying to
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: get the Mars.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: I know, I'm spending money on great stuff like bunkers
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: when they have so much to help help the world.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: If you wanted to. But no, hundreds of millions of
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: dollars in a bunker.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: They studied, they study the French Revolution at some point. Yeah, no,
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: the guillotine things. Yes, maybe one day, let's build a bunker.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Let's go to fucking Mars. There you go, Let's uh yeah,
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: let's go to SpaceX whatever. That fucking idiot wants to
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: do exactly.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: That's what they The percent of us probably gonna get
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: really upset with the one percent at some point, you know,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: like really upset.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: Finally we're we're getting to the leftist socialist thing.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: I want this podcast to be.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Oh that's that's for the folks who are monitoring me,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: by the way, because of the care that that's for you.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: That's for you folks who are monitoring this, because yes,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: that's right. I know you're out there, folks, you're monitoring

  Speaker 3: I'll take it. I don't care.
• 28:08

• 31:14
  Speaker 2: There are some random ones. I learned that a.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: Like a group of flamingos is called a flamboyance. What
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: I saw that on Twitter like in the summer, and
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: it just stuck with me. I'm like, is that real?
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: I looked it up.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, it's but.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: Is that like the is that the like term for
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: flamboyance because because they like, I don't know, like is
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: that like, was that term exists first and applied to
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: the flamingos or was it like the chicken and the
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: egg thing? I don't know.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: Question, good question.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: I wasn't interested enough to keep going. I just because
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: it was, as far as I went, you just.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Just enough, just enough to keep you, keep you one,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: enough to bore my friends and family, and then I
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: moved on.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, iNeST right, here's a good one. This one I
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: saw everywhere all year. You know, twenty twenty five is
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: a mathematically is a really weird number, and I thought
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: I'd see more. This is the problem with conspiracy theorists.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: It's gone completely deranged and fucking and bat shit right, yeah,
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: like you know, I got you got Q and on.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: It used to be just like used to be bigfoot
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: yetti jfk jfk lockness, monster, Aliens is like the Big Five.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: Like when we in college, I hung out with a
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: lot of a lot of hothead dudes smoking out of
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: five foot bongs with multiple things, and eventually within two
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: hours it'd be like Aliens dude like that, But.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: That was okay. I could I can understand.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: I don't think JFK. I THINKFK Like, okay, I can,
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: I can, I can dig that. But now now it's
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: out of fucking control. Yes, but I thought I thought
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: more people would take this and mathematically turn it into ship,
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: but I didn't see it anywhere.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: So twenty twenty five is a perfect square forty five squared.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the last time this happened was nineteen thirty six
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: I think it was, and the next one is twenty one,
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: like twenty one sixteen, I think.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Okay, so it's like every HAVERIM many years.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: Okay. So it is also a sum of cubes. So
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: if you take one cube plus two cube plus three cube,
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: you add them up to nine nine cube and equals
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty five.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Hid trouble in geometry. So one cube just three? Yes, yes,
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: two cubed is.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: Four. No, that's too, that's two squared two squared two cubed.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: Eight. Yes, there you go. Okay.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: So if you keep adding them up and as it
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: goes to twenty twenty five, okay, oh my god, I
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: about that. And if you take twenty plus twenty five,
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: it's forty five forty five squared even that is like
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: unique to the year.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: All right, okay, yeah, how about that anyway, folks.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Let us know what you think in the comments with
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: the nerd here, he's a nerd.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: And come up with the craziest fucking conspiracy theory. Give
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: me some like Room two thirty seven Shining stuff here?
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh my gosh, like those Cyco They ever see
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: that documentary? Those Cyco no actually watching it? Oh, it's
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: so good, it's like two and a half hours. These people,
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: these losers, have dedicated their entire lives to the movie
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: The Shining and they think, like the moon landing is
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: fake because of this movie. They think the whole movie's
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: about Indian burial grounds, like it's it's it's it's amazing again,
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: conspiracy theory has gone too far. Yes, here's a totally
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: minor one. I read this earlier this year. There's only
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: one upside down traffic light in the United States of America,
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: and it's in Syracuse, New York. And it's in a
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: very strong traditional Irish neighborhood. I forget what it's called
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: the neighborhood, but it's flipped upside down because they wanted
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: the green above the red meaning Ireland vert over.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Oh really okay, and.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: It's been that way. Wow, it's like the twenties or thirties.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: It's been there forever. It's still there. Wow, you can
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: actually put it upside down. Spotlight right or stoplight? It's
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: New York's Tipperary Hill in Syracuse, Okay, and it's it's
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: the only one in America. It's still there.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: I think that's an it all right, because this is
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: the government nerd in me right now. There are federal laws,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: believe it or not, with regard to roadways and traffic
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: highways and just how signage needs to be traffic lights
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: fall within the federal government's Department of Transportation, like purview.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: And you can't just do this stuff willy nilly if
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: you want to. They probably had to get some special
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: exemption from the federal government to actually do.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: This, or they were afraid of Irish hooligans or yes,
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: jacked up on guinnis. Exactly, come into our neighborhood, try
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: to flip the over fuck off.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Take a look at this baseball bat.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: I've been to New York City for Saint Pat's twice,
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: the raid and everything. It's the first few hours amazing.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: I stood on the I stood on the steps of
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: the Saint Patrick Cathedral the one year.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was right after.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: It was really emotional, and the first couple, the first
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: couple of hours are so celebratory and like the cops
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: were crying, firefighters were crying. By six o'clock in the evening.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: It's the scariest event I've ever been to.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: My just completely transformed.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: People are so fucking blitzed and packed into these Irish pubs. Yeah,
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: and it's like the tenth hour of the Pogues and
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: you're just like, I can't do this anymore. And that
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: guy just got punched. That cop just punched a guy.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: Jesus.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: I'm just pointing it out because maybe that's why they
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: didn't change they.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's why they didn't change the stoplight.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: I like that.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that. I'm gonna have to check that
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: out in Syracuse.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: Now, if you want to kick off our final.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Let's do the final bit of twenty twenty five here,
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: let's let's do it.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: It's a little something we both.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Learned about just this past week when we got When
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: we got together, I am absolutely enthralled.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: By this okay, okay, our buddy Dave, yes, who who

• 37:40
  Speaker 1: diving in their history.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: Yes, he likes it. Very smart guy. Yes, And I
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: can guarantee you I was staring at him, not blinking
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: when he was talking about this. I was like, yes,
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: this is fucking crazy. Yes, because I know the writer involved.
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: I never read any of his books. I'm not that
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: fucking smart, Like.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: We know this writer.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: A lot of people know this writer because this right,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: this is a writer, folks who was very popular.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: If you're a non blinker, you know who this guy is.
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: And I did not know what a.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: Dirty, dirty bird.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: But this is funny. This is really funny. When Dave
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: told me this thing, I told us this thing, and
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: I was just like, oh my god, holy crap. I
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: was I was just I thought about immediately, like on Twitter,
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: you know, since since Trump.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: Won and everything.
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: I'm not making this political, but like Trump one, we
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: got these right wing lunatics who were like, this is
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: what they stole from you, and they'll show you this
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: straight white family, picket fence kind of thing. And it's
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: like things weren't perfect then, especially if you're black or
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: a woman, right right, Japanese way, whatever. But they also
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: think like married couples were they just they had missionaries
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: and had some children and that was that was you know,
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: Dad went off to work and.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: They have relations every now and then, and it was
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: a it was a happy household, the you know, lunch
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: pail to work.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: And all that sexual depravity and weirdoness. And just now
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying this is weird. I'm just people might
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: be in it. But I was just like it's been,
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: it's been in existence forever, curricula, like the Greek mythology.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: It's it's fucking crazy. And then this story is just
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: but just it's him and what he looks like. Yes,
