  Speaker 1: Life Audio.

  Speaker 2: Today, I'm talking about that John gets played by his
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: own dog and ponders a replacement for smartphones. Meanwhile, I
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: learned about pandas who fake pregnancy, and how a Blincoln
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: once got body shamed by an eleven year old girl.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Well us a conversation about forgiveness and grace as a
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: habitual act. Today's episode is not sponsored by moving walkways
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: at the airport to make you feel like you're in
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: a factory that makes lazy people. But first a word
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: from our actual sponsor.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Two Men, two Microphones, one podcast.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about that two men entered.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Does that's how.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Medical emergency? During the show.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Trying to make a normal things sound dramatic, I think
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: is one of the more fun things in life to do.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: I always think it's in her seeing when they do
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: those UFC fights, which is where that all two men enter,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: one man leaves or whatever. I guess that comes from
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: that old idea of a cage fight or something, but
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: or like Spartacus, maybe Gladiator. But I always think it's
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: funny when they do those the way ends and they
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: have to pretend like they're gonna I might not even
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: be able to contain myself we're not gonna make it
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: to the fight. Yeah, liked, there's millions of dollars on
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: the line, but.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: They know that that gets more people.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I know, but we still fall for it. Like that's
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: the part of it that it's almost like politics, like
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: we know the tricks, but they are tricks because they work.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: It's like I drove by today. We're not gonna get political,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: I promise guys, But I drove by today. There's an
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: open field, like it's one of the few stretches of
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: land in Mount Juliet that that's just an open field.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: It is full of political signs. You know, Owen's McGee, whoever.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: And you just go, who is taking an information from
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: this swath of signs that are from every candidate who
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: was going huh, I remember Owens was a name that
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: I saw on a sign. And yet I say that,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: and people do that because it worked. That total inundation
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: of those signs and just flyers in your mailbox and
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: phone calls and texts. We all hate them. And yet
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: when we get to the polls, they know that if
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Owens has been in your mind to eighty two times,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: you go something about Owens.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Seems I heard that Owens was good.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Well that's why you know, the early presidential contests, they
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: did not campaign.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: It was very very low class to campaign.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and so the very being the first person ever campaigned, right,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Aaron Burr, okay, for he was campaigning quote unquote for
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: vice president.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I should tell us a lot.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: But back then, the way that the count worked, whoever
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: came in second, you know, was vice president.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: And so when it became close to a tie with
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: him and jam He's supposed to be Jefferson's vice president,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: he was such a sort of sly little snake that
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: he was willing to let himself become president even though
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: that's not what he was running for, because he could
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: have had enough votes. But yeah, they well, no painting
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: now has become you, like I said, just a it's
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: like a numbers game.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: It's mark it's marketing. And what I'm saying is there's
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: so many things that we fall for even though we
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: know the rules. Like Facebook ads. You know, we know
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: what they're doing, and we roll our eyes. Gosh, every
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: fourth post is an ad now, but it doesn't make
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: us Now. There are people who've left Facebook. But I'm saying, like,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: for the most part, though, people just go. It's just
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: part of it. This is how they make money. If
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: you want this free app, we have to tolerate being
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: sold things every day by our phone, Like we know
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: the tricks, and yet their tricks because they work. It's
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I just I don't know. The old man shouting at
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: the clouds today, I.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Think I had that calls for us to just shut
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: it all down, but nobody wants to listen to me.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: You want to you want to just do a reset, dude,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I would go the analog movement. Where do you want
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: to go back to the what what level of That's
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: what it would be. Though you can't pretend that the
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I mean it's out of the jar. The toothpaste is
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: out of the tube, and the toothpaste is AI right,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: it's self aware toothpaste. John, you can't.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Put tooth did you say back into a jar?
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: There?
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: For a second, you can't put a toothpaste? I was
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I was mixing metaphors and I was hoping you wouldn't
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: catch it.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: You could put toothpaste back at a jar?
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: You could. That would be you know what, We're gonna
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: start getting our toothpaste from a jar. It'd be so
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: much easier. You have to squeeze anything.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: You always go back.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: You can just dip it. You dip your right in
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: the No, I would, I would.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Think the flip phone brigade. That's the way to live.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: But okay, so that takes time to send a text,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: So you only send text whenever you really want to.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Well, let me say this to you. You would you
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: would be okay with it, and then you would be like,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: this is a drag. I would you would miss it?
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: We need we need to drag again. We need to
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: go back and forget what we have now. And there's
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: no way to do that, I know.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: But here's the thing, like one of the I want
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: to start doing. Yeah, I realize I'm it's me, Johnny.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I'm the problem. It's me, and the deal is I'm
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: the one. Also, I'm an elevator in a bathroom if
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: I sit down at the house.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: But you know, I get home from work before we lead.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: It for volleyball a time.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Everyone agrees I take my phone out, right, So I
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: started thinking I don't want to do that anymore. So
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: why I just need to start carrying a book with
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: me everywhere I go in my hand like a phone.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: You can care if you carrying a phone, carry a book.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: So when you get out and you go into the
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: doctor's office, carry a book with you.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: If I see you carrying a book, I'm going to
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: knock it out of your hands and be like.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Nerd Nerdlert and you reach for your phone, reach for
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: a book. But I haven't done it yet. It's just
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: an idea. I have a lot of ideas.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Some people put books on their phone.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I do read books on my phone, but I find
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: that it's hard.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because you're getting notifications right.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: The whole time.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: It's like I'll open up eyebook and I'm like, oh, okay,
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: I'm reading this, and then I'm like yeah, but then
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: I scrolled on the news app.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: The news app is my new social media.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: I got away from social media thought I'm gonna I'm
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: going to inform myself more.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: And now right, it may be.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Worse because you're you have a lot of information.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: It's information, it's not I'm not just I think I
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: can feel superior in the sense of.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Well, at least I'm not getting this nonsense.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: From social media because these are real journalists and all
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: those things. And I understand that the cry against fake
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: news and all the things. So I try to read
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: a balanced approach Johnny see previous episodes.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: About all the science and verify their But at the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: same time, it's still just a lot of information.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: That is, my brain is just processing so much instead
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: of just like you know, reading I.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Like silly news or news about animals, like I follow
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: a ton of Instagram animal fact type accounts, and that's
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: for some reason that calms me because it's like, it's
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: not it's never political. Like here, I'll give you an example.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: My wife sends me these Okay, you're in a lot.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: So this is one from some Instagram account. It says
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: that expectant pandas receive special treatment, including extra food and
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: around the clock care, and one clever panda took advantage
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: of this perk at a panda research center in China.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Zoo keepers suggest the panda ihn Ai Hi n Ihin
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: may have faked her pregnancy for better treatment. The six
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: year old pandas showed signs of pregnancy, but it returned to
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: normal after just two months of observation. The officials explained
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: that phantom pregnancies caused by hormone changes are not rare
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: among pandas. And some clever pandas continue to fake pregnancies
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: for extended periods. Now see what I'm saying. That doesn't
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: that I do a film. This panda will looked around
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: and thought, hold on a second.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: If this came through TikTok, then the conspiracy theory is
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: that China intentionally put that in your feed to make
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: you dumber while someone else in China learned more maths.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Well, this is Instagram, but it definitely made me dumber.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: There's no way around that. You're reading a book somewhere
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: in a doctor's office while I see.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: What I need to do is read more fiction. That's
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: my wife's thing. Like I need to read things that aren't.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Bettering or fantastical.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I like, I don't know.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: There's always a sense of I want to Yeah, I
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: want to better myself or overcome something, And I don't know,
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: maybe just I just I.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Like the idea of something that doesn't matter, but it
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: can matter to you in the moment. Like here's another one.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: EMUs often walk around then forget where they're going, And
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: I don't even know how we know that. First of all,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: how do we know they don't know where they're going?
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Second of all, ask them maybe these EMUs are faking
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: dementia to get special treatment they want.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: To be written about. Yeah, this is how they got
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: their claim the fame, the feed. If I see a
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: confused EMU, I'm giving him a sandwich. And that EMU knows.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Now he goes, I'm walking the information away. Hold on,
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: it's you go.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Where was I headed?
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Listen?
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: My dog has this is my dog? Yeah, okay, he's
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: like the EMU. He wrong, He's horrible. We love him
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: for it, right, He's just mischievous. He's like a little
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: I don't know, it's hard to explain. But he goes outside.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: He has a collar that beeps and vibrates and stuff. Yeah,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: and he'll go outside and just to start barking at
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: the fence. It's something over the other side, and.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: He knows are out there.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Come on, some of y'all.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Right, now you've been you've perceived a warning, you've received
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: a vibration warning and from on high, but you still
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: keep barking at the fence.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: He barks right on through it.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Outrage is addictive, Joe is.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: But see it's not for the outrage, it's that he
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: gets a treat for it. Because the way I get
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: him back inside to stop barking at the neighbors.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: All right, hey, a's.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Treat, treat, and he'll turn around and round. He has
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: trained me. He gets a treat for bad behavior. It's
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: not stopping it. He goes out times, He'll do it
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: on purpose.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: He's pappala the noise and.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: He comes in.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: I'm like, well, I'm glad you got rewarded for doing
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: the wrong thing again. And what this whole give it
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: to treat? The train him thing is ridiculous. It doesn't work.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: How do you get this? How do you fix it?
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: You don't fix it.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: There is no fixing. Age give him something bad.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, I give him bad things.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: One time I swatted him and it just scares him. Right,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: he made a noise I didn't like.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: He was like, I was like, oh no, I don't
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I'm not ever, I can't.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: I know, guys, I'm sorry, but that if it works
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: because he doesn't know what I'm doing right, So instead
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: I just give him a cheese ball.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Is this how you raise Sadie? No, just any bad
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: like treat. I do feel like that.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: The punishment is his cholesterol is probably through the roof.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: But he did this to himself barking. Yeah, that's what
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: you can send you a funny animal thing? Was it
• 10:50

  Speaker 2: Yes, we are being given a treat for doing something wrong.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Right This treat is your listenership, and we thank.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: You, Thank you very much. We're gonna keep barking at
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: the fence until you give us more.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: So that's something else just by that time, Oh is it? Yeah?
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: John's quote of the week. They talked about that.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: That was a pretty good one. Thanks.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I want to I went with you, admit that.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sweeping I.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Surprise people sometimes, Johnny people, you know, they they don't
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: expect a lot from me, and I like it that way,
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: but every once.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: In a while most people, I think people would be
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: surprised that you have a podcast and a wife. All right,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: let's go keep moving.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Peter Ustinov says love is an act of endless forgiveness,
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: a tender look which becomes a habit. Love is an
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: act of endless forgiveness, a tender look, which becomes a habit.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: I thought that was a really interesting sort of I
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: think people assume when they quote unquote fall in love
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: and you and I have both been married for a
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: long time, right, twenty four years from me this year
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: and you're at what twenty nine? Yeah, In like forgiveness
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: it does. It becomes less of a an act that
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: you just do, you know, whenever it's needed, and more
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: like a state of mind, like I'm going to assume
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: the best, right about this person. I want to assume
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: the best about this person. But I think how much
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: my wife is endlessly forgiving me. Yeah, you know, for
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: a faux pas, you still say sorry, right, you still
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: you know do.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: But it's a given that this person is gonna let
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: it go. Yeah, Like it's a Hey, I'm sorry, but
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: it's never like a this is it. There's no way, right,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: this is a bridge too far. I've annoyed her for
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: the last time.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Well, and I'm seeing maturity of my daughter. She'll she'll
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: have you know, she's sixteen, so hormones and yeah, you know,
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: all that stuff, and so sometimes there's a sharp reaction
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: and like she's quick right now in thirty seconds to
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: be like, hey, that probably didn't sound good.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: So like there's that there's that like we've already forgiven you.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: We're not holding you to just your your worst moments,
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: but that everybody's in on that process of that constant grace.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: So we talk about that at church a lot.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, we think of grace as like this thing
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: that happened, you know, you know it's Dallas Wheeler talks
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: about that a little bit like if the Gospel to
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: you is like a historical set of events that included
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: across to the empty tomb and all the things, and
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: not this ongoing yeah process that's still in motion, you know,
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: then it becomes to you theology rather than a way
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: of life, right than the way of living. I think
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: the way of living in relationship with God and with people.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: It is it's an active unless forgiveness, or it's a
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: pattern of, Hey, I make a habit out of trying
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: to find the gentle way or trying to find the
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: way that I assume this is going to work out.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: It's not because you did the right thing or I
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: did the right thing right. And that's that's where it
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: gets so messed up.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: It's it's uh.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: And I'm not saying there's not things that don't take
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: a relationship into the choppy waters. You know that you
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: can't just overlook. And certainly if you're ever if you're
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: listening and we talk about relationships and you're in a place.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Where you're in danger or you're you know, in an.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Abusive place like that, that's not what we're talking about.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Please seek help, get safe, all those things. But if
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: you know, if you're in if you're in what would
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: be considered more of a normal relationship experience or circumstance,
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: then yeah, there's a whole lot of stuff that you
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: could always find that's wrong. And real love in the
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: beginning feels like all these feelings, and I still have
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: those feelings twenty four years later, but they're deepened by
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: there's nothing I'm overlooking, like, I'm very aware of her
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: faults and she's very aware of mine. And now the
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: love being deeper in those things actually is I think
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: what makes it sweeter and better over time. So anyway, yeah,
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Peter Ustinov, Peterosenof's not used enough.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure of anything.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Johnny about us anyway, seems like a great guy. John.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Let's do my segments. Let's do Jonny's old jokes. We
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: call it joke about that never gets old. I love
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: that so much. I got a few this week, John
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Quick little Street jokes that I found a couple of
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: these I'd heard before. Two toothpicks love this already, This
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: premise is already, yeah, rich. Two toothpicks are making their
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: way up a mountain. While they take a break, a
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: hedgehog passes them. One toothpick turns to the other and goes,
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: why didn't you tell me there was a shuttle service?
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: I've never heard that one. That's pretty funny, right, that's good,
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: it's pretty good. I like that a guy's about to
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: undergo I like these that are about doctors because I
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: think doctors and death jokes are funny. Because they're about
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: things that either annoy or scare us, like your health,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: being uncertain about your health, not knowing what words the
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: doctors are throwing around. Everybody's had that same experience waiting
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: in a waiting room. All those things are so ripe
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: for comedy because they kind of are scary. Yeah, and
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: so the jokes about funerals, jokes about doctor's offices, and
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it is about them, but I've
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: always been drawn. So there's a ton of street jokes
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: about those. This one, a guy's about to undergo surgery.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Just as the anesthesia is about to be administered, he
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: hears the surgeon speaking, don't worry, Bill, this is just
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: a routine operation. There's absolutely nothing to worry about. The
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: gallix s ower and says thanks, but my name isn't Bill.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: The surgeon says, I know, I'm Bill, and then reminded me.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: One of my favorites of all time about the doctors
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: is guy goes to a doctor. The doctors I have
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: good news and bad news. He said, all right, give
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: me the good news. First, he said, you have twenty
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: four hours to leave. He goes, that's the good news.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: What's the bad news? He goes, I forgot I toll
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: you yesterday. Perfect, all right, we had a little This
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: has never happened on the show before.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: I think it may have once, I mean not the event.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Well no, but I'm saying, have we stopped and then
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: come back and finished an episode?
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I can't remember when, but yeah, it's a two parter.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: It's like a cliffhanger. But the audience didn't know.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my phone started blowing up right then.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, until we pushed pause and I could tell as
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: my wife was like, oh no, And so our little
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: dog Ace, he's dude.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: He's a scoundrel.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: He's a rascal.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: She was breaking in stuff from Costco and uh, you know,
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: she'd come out of the door three or four times,
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: and he decided that's what he does sometimes.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: He made a play for the door, Johnny.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and prison break.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was bad. I chased him. I probably chased
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: him two miles. So you run home and get him
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: for he got in the street or something. So he
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: went to the woods at one point and it disappeared
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: like it was.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: It was a whole thing.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: So did you make posters or anything? Were you at
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: that level?
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: No?
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: Once he came back out then I'm just walking like
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: she had some pizza.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: It sounds like you should just keep posters on you
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: of this dog.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: He gets out a lot, right, It's really well that
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: once I'd say every sixth that na I want every
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: two months.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's too much, John.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Why can't he just be a normal dog?
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Why does.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: Is it?
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, dogs don't want to be where they're Is.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: It normal to have a piece, to have a piece
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: of pepperoni in your hand and him not come to
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: it because he's so stubborn he wants He kind of
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: looks at it, throw it on the ground.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: He knows what it means. Yes, the cuffs are going
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: back on.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: He cuffs that he lives in enchanted existence. Yeah, the
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: dog has a better life than any of us.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Is that what you think? It's like the Truman Show.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: To him though, he's just like, look at all this
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: world out there that I didn't know what was out here.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: It is true.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: He is a pandemic dog. He doesn't know what's out.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: There like he was, and he wouldn't be okay, Like Brute.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Is roding the car with me everywhere and did stuff.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Brute has had a life
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: outside the house.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, he had a job, friends, little briefcase, and
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: he's just like, yeah, he really is.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: He's yeah, he doesn't lived on an island his whole life.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: But I get it. I just but yeah, I think.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not saying that your household's abusive and
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: then he's trying to escape something. I just want to safe,
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: start to start. That's not what I mean by this.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: But I'm glad you didn't say that.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Have you tried looking at how you're treating your dog
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: that he would want to escape? Have you thought about
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: those things?
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: I had not thought about that. Yeah, that's a good
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: thing I should probably think about.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: When I do shows in Oklahoma or like some you know,
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: one of those states like Tornado Alley states always say,
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: like the weather out here is insane. Y'all have ice storms, earthquakes, tornadoes.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Have y'all tried repenting because these are plagues? God is
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: upset and he has sent me to tell you clean
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: it up. Have you read Exodus exactly?
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: But no, Ace, he's fine. He's back, though he's in custody.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I had to dive, you, dove.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: I have to.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: That's the only way you get closed you kind of
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: act he'll stop to sniff or whatever, and you kind
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: of like he'll get lazy.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: I mean again, after I chased him almost to the lake.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Lake and you don't live near the lake.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: Now, it was about a mile from the lake, so
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: and so you just kind of me and just meander closer.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, look at you, buddy.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean on a boat or anything.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Come on, man, lake lakefront A mile's not lake. I know,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: I'm just being just.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Like running by the lake.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: But yeah, well so you know who else does?
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Yes, I do know. He's just following my footsteps. Yeah.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: I dove and got him.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I didn't I didn't even punish him, was
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: the point, right, No, Actually, we put him in his crpe.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: He doesn't know like you're done. So wait a minute,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: he gets out of the enchanted existence.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he goes into a dark hole and now.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: He's in solitary.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the only thing I think it will speak
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: to him. I'm sure by the time we drove all
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: the way back home he understand what was happening.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Did you give him the pepperoni? Be honest with me
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: right now, No.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: No, as can't sniff. Yeah, correctly like I've thrown the
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: pepperoni in front of him a few times and he'll
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: sniff around it. It's like right in front of him.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Happens all the time.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: He's just not a Look, he's a nice dog. He's
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: not a good dog.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: He's just nice and not a smart dog. No, we
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: like him a lot. Well, he's smart enough to run
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: away and not be caught. He's crafty. If this was
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: like Lassie, he doesn't help anybody, you know what I'm saying.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: There's no if there's a problem.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: He fell in the well, Yeah, he's not telling you
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: where Timmy is. He pushed another dog in the way
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: and stole their pepperoni. Yeah, if he could find it,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: if he could find them. Yeah, Well I'm glad he's
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: back and that everything seems to be bad. But anyway,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: that's why we took a little so the listener didn't know.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: We didn't have to tell.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Just in case we didn't. I thought it was worth
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: telling though, because you know, it's weird that we just
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: we were in the middle of the story and then
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: we or whatever.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Well, and.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: I have changed clothes if you're watching online, Oh you did,
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: because I had to take a shower.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Like a dove in the grass.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: And you know, you've been through some stuff.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I've seen some bad stuff.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Chasing wild dogs.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: It's hard out here.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, let's we were talking earlier about how adorable
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: animal videos are, and now you've had your own. Yeah,
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: that's a counterpoint, is what we call.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: I do want to say back to him, not to
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: pushing people in the wells.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: I will say this, like when when Brutus passed away,
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: he did come around and cry when he knew I
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: was upset, and then hast did And then when Mom
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: had her stroke, he did sit there and seemed very concerned.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: So perhaps his soul in there.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, he's an impath.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: I don't mean in the sense of a we're going
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: to get into theology of animals, theology of dogs. I
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: just mean that there's something good in there. It's just
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: not in there when he's running away. And yeah, a
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: better person would just train him.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: All right, that's true.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: I don't have time. I don't have time for that.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, do you have time to leave in the middle
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: of the podcast and go dive on the ground?
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Was it every two months?
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: It seems like it seems like that's what you've made
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: time for this is just our life now, Thank you,
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: dear listener. Anyway, but let's wrap up the show with
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: this week in history. We call it talk about then
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: John this week. By the way, this week I didn't
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: choose this for this week in history, but this week
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: was the anniversary of baby Jessica falling down the well.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Really we tipped the bit there. Anyway. This week eighteen
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: sixty John honest Abe grew a beard. And I've seen
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: photos without the beard, but they're rare, right they there's
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: a certain segment of his life pre presidents. If you're
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: gonna do Abe Lincoln for Halloween, let's say, which is
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: coming up, you're going to have that beard, at least beard.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a that and that hat are signatures like Lincoln.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Douglas debates. She'll notics he doesn't have a beard and
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: looks a lot younger. Right, Oddly enough, to me, he
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: looks a lot like Jefferson Davis. They have a similar
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: facial thing going on. Yeah, you know, yes, but there
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: was a beard that came.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: And but I had no idea when he grew the
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: beard that it was because of an eleven.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Year old girl who wrote a letter.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Right, she wrote a letter suggesting he should grow a beard.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: He wrote back, this is come on, man, what can
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: you ask for the president? Was he the president then.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: In eighteen sixty Yeah, it depends on it.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Says future US president? So she wrote he would have been.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: The election was the November of eighteen sixty year.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: So she just thought, hey, I know what's missing. It
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: was pal He writes her back, which is that's above
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: and beyond to me, saying it would be silly to
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: start growing a beard. But then he did it anyway.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because he was a silly guy.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: He was silly. He's like, you're right, I think, or
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: maybe she got to him. You know, girls, it's like megging.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: You know what negging is when you use negative comment
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: like guys do it mostly though they're like, yeah, sweaters, whatever,
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: is that what you're gonna wear? And then like you
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: make the person secure so they cling to you. It's
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: like a codependency trick. This girl nagged the future president
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: in the Union and she was like, yeah, she grow
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: a beard. You look stupid, and he was like, you're stupid,
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: And then he went and looked in the mirror and
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: was like he'd asked Mary Todd and He's like, do
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: I look stupid? An eleven year old girl? God? I
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: mean she got under his skin.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: Dude, it is yeah, body shaming she did. Yeah, she
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: has never thought of the story.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: You call that a chin? Good luck? You want to
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: be the leader of the free world? Weirdo? Nice jug
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: handle ears too? By the way, got luck with your war? Yeah? Anyway,
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: yeah she was. By the way, some of the most
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: vicious people in my life have been eleven year old
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: girls too, So I can totally I can totally relate
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: it does happen. I'm still terrified eleven year old girls. Okay, John,
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: this week eighteen seventy. This person was born in eighteen.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm already screwing up. You don't even this
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: person talk about him? This week in I don't know
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: when that happened. Nineteen twelve, a Japanese man was condemned
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: for not going down with the Titanic. Did you know
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: this story?
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: I did not know that.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Okay. So this is a wild story, and I guess
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: it's got a little bit of a racial overtone to it,
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: because it's odd that he would be singled out. Japanese
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Titanic survivor Matsobumi Hosono. Hossono, the only Japanese passenger, survived
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: the nineteen twelve sinking of the RMS Titanic. However, upon
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: returning to Japan, he was condemned and ostracized as dishonorable
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: and a coward, I guess by his own people for
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: not going down with the ship. So I guess culturally,
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: So it's not racial, So it was culturally why didn't you,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Why didn't you go down with the ship? You know?
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: And then that goes on to say, as the Titanic
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: was sinking, an officer shouted from lifeboat ten room for
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: two more. So he and another man jumped aboard in
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: the dark and confusion. No one noticed that they were
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: not women, and later they were even falsely accused of
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: pretending to be women to get aboard. After he returned
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: to Japan, Wosno's actions were seen as cowardly and dishonorable,
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: and he lost his job with the Ministry of Transport.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: He was eventually rehired, but remained ostracized for the rest
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: of his life. So this idea that he pretended, even
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: though he says he didn't, it's just kind of the
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: lore of it. All and this thing of like the
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: ship's going down and say they say room for two more?
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: Do you jump on or do you go try to
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: find two more right right in the freezing water?
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of Yeah. What do you think, John,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: which if you heard room for two more, m won't it?
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Well, it depends if my wife and daughter, I mean,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: i'd go find this.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Maybe they're already on boat was he alone? Maybe they
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: left you on they were on boat eight.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: If I knew they were on another boat, then yeah,
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: probably because I would think that I'm doing this for them.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: But says that what you tell yourself?
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I've got to stay a lot.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: The truth is, how are these women going to get
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: along without me? Wow, you're unbelievable. Unbelievable.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: No, what I meant was.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: I can see why East ran away. Honestly, this is
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: an abusive.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: There is a like the I am more motivated to
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: stay alive, sure for the good of my kid that
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: I am for the good of myself.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: That's just true.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's okay, I'll give you that.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think that's I don't think I'm telling
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: you lie there.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: No, I don't either, John. I just thought i'd pose
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: the question. I just want to see what I want,
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: a little character test and pearls. John. This week, eighteen fourteen,
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: a killer beer flood, h drowning and your beer took
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: on a whole new meaning when a beer vat at
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: the mew And Company Brewery ruptured, causing other vats to
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: rupture in Allellon, four hundred and seventy thousand leaders or
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: three hundred eighty eight thousand US gallons of beer spilled
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: into the streets, destroy homes and killing eight people.
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a lot of beer.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: It's like a flash flood of beer.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: And it reminded me of another story which was also
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: I had to look it up. It was January of
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: nineteen nineteen, the Great Molass Flood, because I had heard
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: that before.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: You have a lot of time to get away from that, otherwise.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: That's what you think. But I get maybe it was
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know, although also knows the Boston Molasses disaster,
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: which is that's a tongue twister laster. Boston molasses disaster. Gosh,
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: it's not snow laughing matter, John, because sorry, it was
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: a disaster of the card. On Wednesday, January fifteen, ninety nineteen,
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: the North End neighborhood of Boston mess ues. It's a
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: large storage tank filled with two point three million gallons
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: of molasses weighing approximately thirteen million tons. Wow burst and
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: the resultant wave of molasses rushed to the streets at
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: an estimated thirty five miles per hour. So you're wrong
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: about it being slow. Thirty five miles per hour. It
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: killed twenty one people and entered one hundred and fifty.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: The event entered local folklore, and residents reported for decades
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: afterwards that the area still smelled of molasses on hot
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: summer days.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: I don't imagine it. What, yeah, I mean, because that's that's.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: A lot of molasses. That's John. Finally, I don't even
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: know what to do with that great Boston molasses disaster.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: That should be like a yeah, when you're trying to
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: teach people English second language, Oh yeah, that would be
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: that one. Yeah, because we have to say crazy things
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: when we go to like France, like you know, go ahead,
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: I would like to buy some butter and some cheese,
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Like we had to say the sentences they give us
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: French though they should no, no, I don't know they should
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: have to say where is the bathroom? Like they should
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: have to say Boston molasses disaster. And it's a big joke.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: We don't nobody else with them, right, we just make
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: them say it. John Finally, and I thought this was
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: a propoe because I just returned from the Great White North.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Alaska Day is this week. It celebrates the formal transfer
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: of Alaska from Russia to the US, which happened this
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: week eighteen sixty seven, and I looked it up because
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: we were in Anchorage. I was there to do a
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: fundraiser event. And evidently it happened at a time in
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: our history where these countries were just like you had
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: a Bizar over Russia that just needed money for the coffers,
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: and so he sold Alaska for just and then it
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: was considered foolish that we bought it because it's this
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: unsettled tundra. They called it Seward's folly, right yep. And now,
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: of course you can't believe the deal we got because
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: you could overlay Alaska. It covers most of the continental US.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: It's so huge. Yeah, uh, it's bigger than tons of
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: European countries, Like you could lay almost every European country
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: in it. It's uh, it's wild. So anyway, whip. Then
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: we explored a little of our arm John. We did
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: not see a moose, okay, which upset Curry greatly. Yeah,
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: because we were told there were just going to be
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: moose everywhere, and she could not wait to see a moose.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: And we went home without having seen a moose other
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: than there was a stuffed one in the airport like
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: a No, that was a taxidermity.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: That makes you feel bad someone, Yeah, but uh, but.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: It was a great trip and we celebrate along with
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: the people of Alaska. Alaska Day Alaska. It is eighteen
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: sixty seven, so it's been a while. Yeah, the forty
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: nine state, John.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it didn't become a state until nineteen fifty seven, is.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: It fifty seven?
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I believe so. I think there was a restaurant
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: that we ate at that was kind of one of
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: those diners, drive ins, and dives kind of places they
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: were in the USA today when it's like fifty great
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: sandwiches and every you know, a great sandwich in every state,
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: and we ate at the place that has like this
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: halibut sandwich that's like in the USA, did they have
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: the thing on the wall and it said they were
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: founded in nineteen whatever. I said, I think that's when
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Alaska became a state, And sure enough it was. I
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: think it was fifty seven.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: See, because you know why, because we talked about in
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: the show before, like the show doesn't help, but it does.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: We are educational, like it or not. I think we
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: learned it that EMUs get a little disoriented. Yeah, and
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: they wander off, not unlike certain dogs. Certain people's dogs
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: get a little bit they forget. Why was I going
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: over here? Why does it smell like pepperoni? Over here?
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Who's that guy lunging at me? That sort of thing? Right?
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: We learned, We learned things on that show, yelling. We
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: don't mean to teach you, but we can't help it.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: We're educators that good at it. Yeah, it was naturally
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: accidentally providing value. Yeah, and that's that's our creed.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: That's gonna be my tombstone. Yeah, Eli's John Driver. He
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: accidentally added a little value.
