[Assistant] You gotta have an antenna. You gotta get your TV remote and switch the input settings to, uh, well, I guess it depends on how your settings are, usually to TV antenna and then turn the channel 4.5 and then look up when it airs. Right. That's all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we all love weather. I think that's, that's true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's kinda like, uh, your jokes when you watch...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so you can do it as a hobby, if you want. Get in contact with the National Weather Service and they've got some programs. If you want to do it as a profession, they say it's important. No, most people don't make a lot of money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, average salary starting now, $18,000. Okay. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But many support chasers support themselves with a second job. Or do it seasonally. But uhm. $18,000


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Well, there's one that came through here March 3rd through downtown and, and yeah, it came right over us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's what I shot for my deck. I mean, you can't see a ton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I mean, obviously it just destroyed everything in its path and it kind of went right away. Our power went out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know the 2011 super breakout tour that was the worst in US history, the one that went through Alabama and Tuscaloosa and all that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we were, those are such crazy, uh, crazy tornadoes. We were in, doing shows at Stardome that weekend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was there with Angela and we went over to Tuscaloosa and she bought a bunch of supplies and we delivered it to people there, but we just got to go through the damage. It was just so great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's footage right there from Channel 5. Yeah. I remember seeing this on the news.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so, but yeaah, it was crazy. It knocked this, it knocked this off there. And then the building hit twice, the flood of 2010.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did a terrible gig in Oklahoma. The whole weekend was so terrible. The only thing I got excited about, we had an earthquake. Like I felt my first earthquake. Oh yeah. Yeah. It's crazy. My hotel room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So how many earthquakes do you guys think we had in Tennessee last year?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seven. Three hundred and one. Ow. Who's, what are they counting?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have a ton of small, there's a ton of small ones all the time in like East Tennessee. Like, you just barely feel them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. You film though? In East Tennessee, like, yeah. 300.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So California, they're, they keep preparing for the big one. So, uh, the last really big one they had was, uh, I guess 1994, depending on what you consider big, which costs 72 deaths. But the big one they think will hit will be 44 times stronger than that one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that World Series was 89. Oh. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they have a 48% chance of the big one hitting within the next 30 years from the San Andreas fault. And so that hits. What happens? A major death destruction. I joked that California would fall into the ocean. That was from Superman 1. That's what he said. Well, there was a missile that went to California, but they say it won't fall in the ocean, but there's going to be major, major destruction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They said, I mean, this is years from years from now, Los Angeles and San Francisco will be close to each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? Because they're gonna just... But they're talking like thousands and thousands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It kinda looks like a kid drawing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scientists have suggested permanently dimming the sun to save South Africa from deadly dry spells.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The plan involves pumping vast quantities of gas into the atmosphere above Cape Town to preserve local water supplies. Research sujecting particles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, a San Francisco geologist made a name for himself by accurately predicting the North California, Northern California's 1989 earthquake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He combed the classified ads for local newspapers and saw that a large number of household pets had run away from home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, made a conjecture that animals can sense earthquakes coming. And he was correct. In China in 1975, he wrote for a major earthquake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were hundreds of snakes abandoning their burrows, running through the city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three days later, earthquake yet, thousands of toads are running. There's all these examples of animals sensing it and getting out of town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The air located in a lightning bolt is 54,000 degrees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can, uh, you can tell the temperature outside by counting the crickets chirps. Count the number of chirps in 14 seconds and then add 40 to get the temperature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's amazing. That is amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the number of chirps in 14 seconds and then add 40 to that number.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, one place I read 15 seconds and then add 37.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Takes a snowflake 45 minutes to one hour to hit the ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, when Hurricane Andrew hit Florida in 1992, it was a category five hurricane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It destroyed a python breeding facility and 900 pythons escaped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have now, the pilots have destroyed the Florida Everglades.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, 99% of rabbits and foxes have basically disappeared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, raccoons and opossums are almost all gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was supposedly one in Knoxville recently, right? But I think that turned out to be true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if it got loose from a zoo, what does it matter where it got loose from? As long as it's, if it's missing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, water spouts near dry land can make sea creatures ring down from the sky. Fish have been known to get sucked into them in fall. Oh wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lightning strikes the Empire State Building around 25 times a year. That'd be more than that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm asking what you're saying that I could see it being much more than that. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, according to some, the amount, you can predict the weather, how bad it's going to be by the color of the woolly worm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The amount of black on the back of the woolly worm varies in proportion with the upcoming weather. Uhm, the longer the woolly worm's black band keep up a woolly worm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The longer the wooly worms black band, the longer, colder, snowier and more severe the weather will be. The wider the middle brown band, the less bad the winter will be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always thought a mirage from cartoons was like, you see water in the desert and you run and jump, but that's hallucination. But you can take pictures of mirages. Mirages are real things. Uh, it's atmospheric conditions that cause them, but, but they're not just like in your head. Oh, it's like the,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Conveniently in 1880, when all the continents were together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The last volcano in the US that erupted was Mount St. Helens in 1980. Yeah. 57 people were killed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. Washington. Editing some crowd noise, I'm guessing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was Chaz, and then it went to Chad, or was it Chad to Chaz? I think it was Chaz and Chop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeah, that was a big deal. I do remember when, uh, I saw it and I was like, typical, you know, that part of Seattle. Very, you know, hippie dippy-ish, but also down for the cause, looking to make a change. And then, um, and then I started hearing rumblings that it was getting kind of violent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then I'd see images, but then like Dave Matthews would go on Instagram and be like, guys, I'm down here to tell you that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, is he from there too? He lives there. His wife went to University of Washington. Uhm, and, uh, I think he's from Virginia originally. Yeah. But, uh, but they live there and, and, uh, and rep it pretty hard. Yeah. But, uh, so he went down there to kind of give the full scoop. Uhm, Virginia makes sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, every day with Judah. Yeah, that was a big deal. Judah was, that was talking about credits. Like that was a thing for a while where I think it was on his poster because that video was so big.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, enormously popular. Do you remember your first credit? I just had a conversation, uh, about this with a buddy about the thing that I would go on stage to, uh, when I first, you know, I think prior, it was the first real credit prior to that. I think it was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. And he's like, all right. Which is great because I would love to know what was the alt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was also locked and loaded that he was going to maybe say, but then he was like, just say him. Like did he have a version of the name? Did he in his head, you know, sometimes you, you're like, I think it's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like I, you know, thankfully remember Tristan, cause you said it right after again, but maybe, you know, if I walked out, I would've been like, I'll see ya, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that's always- The taster. The taster. You just reminded me of another, uh, hymn type moment. It was Irvine Improv.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Mark Saratel and I were, uh, on this Comedy Juice show, and Mark had this friend named Brett Palacano, who was like his eighth time doing stand-up, but he was a real sweet guy, like just so much energy and passion out of the gate for life and stand-up. Uh, was he good?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, and uh, but he was a sweet kid and from there, so he was like, I can bring like 80 people. Yeah. And you know, it's comedy, just Tuesday night, 10 PM show. Yeah. Mark's like, I'm going to give him a spot because he's going to bring a lot of people and he's so likable. He's like, and he'll host. He's like, and he's actually not terrible with like crowd interactions enough to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's an acquired skill set. Like, I don't know how much you did of it getting going. Like, I feel like you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crowdwork wasn't really a, uhm, by the way, should I be hugging the mic more or is this distance from me? Sounds great. I feel like you would have done some aggressive, like, you know, you don't seem above doing big gestures to get what you need. Yeah. We just let it happen. He and I are starting our own pockets. Well, look at that. Go ahead and plug your dates, man. What are you doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just gonna say LA, New York, I think cities where you're getting a lot of, uh, people from all over, right? Cities where there is a lot of, uh, coming and going from all places.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think if you're doing, yeah, a thousand percent, which is why, uh, you're so brilliant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but then it was at the store actually and, uh, and you had just so much new stuff and it was like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you're, you're so good and, and one of my faves to watch. So it's like, there's no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No real, uh, opportunity for like jealousy, cause I'm just like, nah, I'm never gonna think like that. And the stuff, but you did a couple things where I was like, how come my brain isn't better? You know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Yeah. That was fun. That was a fun time. We went to Hooters. We did went to Hooters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some people are probably thinking right now, pre-show? No, post-show, for sure. We didn't get our pre-show dinner, but there was truly nothing in the area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and, uh, and that sounds like a, an excuse to be like, oh, you just really, you probably took the gig because the Hooters was there. That's why I took it. It was the Hooters tour actually. Yeah. Not a bad idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not. It's uhm, and uh, we had a good time there because again, it was like the show was so fun and, and this is what's the best, uh, about being with, uh, hanging with comics you haven't kicked with on the road for the first time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're hopefully both willing to just make the best of what's around you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was like, all right, what's nearby that has TVs for sports, uh, and good enough food and, um.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you remember that there was a bodybuilding competition right next door to us? Cause it wasn't, it was you and I and I want to say Brooks Whelan or Thomas Dale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And those are two completely different comics, but I feel like it was one of, the energies are also different. I think it was Brooks. I think it was Brooks too. Cause I feel like there was definitely like a melancholy, stoned, uh, feeling in the green room before we got there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Smell like a bodybuilding competition, which I know you're like, well, what does that smell like? Well, think of a lot of tanning oil and no carbs around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were just all down. That's what threw me for a loop. Cause I've seen the men, but I don't think I've gone out of my way to really get to know the female bodybuilding competition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What, cause it scares me? Yeah, a little bit. And also it's like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seeing it live, it's just like anything. It's like when I first went to a hockey game live, I was like, oh, it's way better live. Not the case for bodybuilding. You know, you sing it up close. You're like, I'd rather just see this from afar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always wondered there was a girl from high school, uh, uh, Jennifer Stewart was her name. Probably changed now cause she, uh, got married, but she was a, the first girl that I


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember having a crush on that I went out of my way to get like a gift for, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm a real, real big kid. Uhm, you know, love to double fist pop-tarts, dip them in Cool Whip. Still do. Uhm, but, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did. Well, that just lets me know that I will definitely be going to the gym when I get back to the hotel. Yeaah. I mean, you're just like a big guy. I fluctuate, you know? I could probably be down another 10 right now, but uhm, we'll see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm on The Young Rock, uh, The Rock Show that's coming out in DC, and I'm playing a, uh, a guy that's, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't really say yet, but he's like, he's look, he's a very prominent guy in the wrestling world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in Duane's career, but uh, in future seasons, if we get more, I'm going to have to take your shirt off, but also probably like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether it's creatine or straight up roids, I'm going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People forget, like you look at Frank Thomas and you're like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and for the listeners who don't follow baseball, they're like, the Eugenics guy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, he was a superstar in the 90s. Uh, I had a shoe, the big hurt and uh, was just a beast. But yeah, like he didn't just do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was at a 24 hour fitness in LA, the one on Sunset once and they closed at 11 on Fridays and Saturdays. Yeah. Uh, I don't know why. And, uh, I remember 11 PM, 11 PM. It's 24 hour fitness. Yeah. And I, to this point I had always walked in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I was working on a night like that, you know, it's about 1030 or whatever I'm walking out and, uh, cause I just know the, uh, the rules and I see a guy walking in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the gal, as I'm, before I'm leaving, she goes, oh, so just a quick reminder, if you've got about 15 minutes for your workout and he's got, he just goes, I'm sorry, what? And she goes, 15 minutes. He goes, what are you talking about? She's like, we closed at 11. He goes, and he just looks up at the sign and goes,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she's like, I know it's just, and he goes, what are you doing? Yeah. And, and just made such a hassle. So I was like right at the door. So then I just kind of took my phone out and lingered and was like, Oh, I got a couple of emails just to listen to him, uh, berate this sweet gal. And he flipped like full on like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's false advertising. Sometimes. Sometimes fitness. Yeah. Planet fitness is kind of my favorite because they went for it. They're just like, look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're not going to tell you how long we're open. He's going to tell you that this is the place that's, you know, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that was already a mess. And look, did I eat a couple of the chocolate, chocolates when I got to school?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't remember, for sure I did. And so I'm giving her a half complete box of chocolates, but I'm like, maybe we can go to the store and buy the rest together as our first date, you know? And, uh, and so I walk into her classroom, people are putting all their bags and coats away. It's so funny how vividly I remember this and I walk in and I'm just like, and I didn't have a speech prepared. I'm sure I did in my head of like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she just looks at me and I think got a little thrown off by the, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The people that kind of looked and saw that it turned into a little bit of a presentation. So she was like, I don't want that. And I just quickly, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The point of that story, she, uh, years later became a bodybuilder. And, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but I remember, uh, commenting, uh, on her page in classic comic form. I was like, there's gotta be a fun way for me to give a throwback to that story and what she's doing now. And, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I wrote a little like, remember when I gave you this, like congrats, like it's looking great. Well, that I go, remember when I gave you all that stuff and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, and you said no, and she's like, yeah, I still feel bad about that. And then I made one more joke, like, yeah, well, you know, it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A couple. You're, you're so sweet. I remember when we first kicked it in Montreal, I think I'd only done like, uh, you know, two movies and you were just like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Heat. Yeaah. Classic, yeaah. A good, uh, a good just put on the background like enough jokes per, those are the types of comedies I like to because it's, you know, the story's good enough, the plot's not too crazy for you to follow. It's a fun movie. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, maybe two months. It was, uh, which was awesome. They put us up in, in Boston and it was, uh, stayed at like the Fairmont on the, in the wharf or the little Italy was right around the corner. The first day I shot only shot one thing that took like a half hour. And so Michael Rappaport and I, I never met him. So he was just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, I would love to. And, uh, and then, you know, a bunch of cursing and then, uh, and then, and we walked down a little Italy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got some food, chummed it up. Guys need like minimal info to really get to know each other, I feel like. For sports, comedy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, uh, we've seen Nickelback live and then it was just like a big.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they get a bad rap. Their sound is... I don't know how you are with tunes, but it's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the sound is good, like OMC, How Bizarre, still one of my favorite songs. Cause it's just like a fun upbeat. Do I know any of the words? No. Nate doesn't listen to lyrics. That's his thing. Me neither. And I'm so bad. Uh, Bone Thugs and Harmony Crossroads, another one of my favorite songs. See, that's most white dudes when they try to sing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. Oh okay. Oh yeaah. Great song. Both hugs should cover it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Third Eye Blind is a great song that I remember. That was my first concert too in Seattle with Semi Charmed Life at Memorial Stadium. You played Bumbershoot, right? Great festival. Back in the day when I went,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like any festival, I think it hadn't truly gotten commercialized yet. They had great talent, but it was, I mean, saw Sugar Ray at a smaller stage right when Fly popped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and it was a, it was packed because Fly was getting a lot of momentum, but I remember they were playing like other songs that weren't Fly, and everyone-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not about that. They're like, we came for what we came for and it's not what you're doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So figure it out, Mark McGrath. And, uh, and so everyone starts booing, like through the third or fourth song.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I joined in because I was just like, hey, I'm a man of the people and uh, peer pressure. And so, uh, and so he stops mid song and just goes,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have other songs, we're trying to play, we just got a few more, and then the booze just overwhelmed him, so then he just goes, F it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, uh, it was the Sasquatch festival. Sasquatch too. Also cool. Did you do that one? I did that one. That venue is unbelievable. I mean, Bumbershoot had more space so they could get more stuff from there. Yeah. And that's why when I saw Third Eye Blind at this, uh, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, soccer stadium. First concert packed. Made my way all the way to the front of my buddy. There was mosh pits and all that. It got real hot. Couldn't like breathe almost because it was so many people compact. And uh, got knocked to the ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, from mosh pits and whatever, which I just, I guess I just assume maybe mosh pits weren't happening during like, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I'm just saying the crowd. It seemed like the mosh pit was not lining up with the music. Oh, it's one of my favorite bands. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I'm all good now. I apologize. Yeah, it's all good. Do you, uhm, we just start fighting right now. Uh, the, uhm, uh, the music, they do have some tunes that are conducive to bumping bodies and taking people down. And one of those, I think was graduate or, uhm, right? There's, uh, there's other tunes that are aggressive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's me man, just a nice guy, you know, but, uh, uh, so, so I fall down and then people fall on top of me and I'm screaming. And, uh, and then I just hear faintly, there's a guy at the bottom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hear this whole conversation through the chaos because they're kind of just like close enough to where the music's above the ground so I can just hear voices. And somebody's like, what? He goes, there's a guy under the people. And he goes, yeaah. Clearly didn't hear what the guy said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, and he's like, there's a guy under the people, and he goes, under who? He goes, under that guy, it's another guy. And I'm literally under, there's like two or three people on top of me, and I'm at the bottom, and more people were just falling, so I'm like, oh, I'm gonna die, listening to Third Eye Blind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, and then thankfully they, uh, they picked me up and I lived, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Totally. So I'm 38. I think I was about, actually maybe 11 and 12 when it really got. So unless Pearl Jam was covering like Hakuna Matata, I was like, alright, like what do you guys do? But I was around it enough, but I didn't have any older siblings that were, I think I needed maybe to like bring it into my world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but I did have buddies with siblings that did that that got us into, uh, yeah, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden and Oasis and Nirvana.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was also just like the fact that it, uh, you know, originated there and kind of started this movement. And yeah, I mean, it was, um, it was really, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. And it was, and Seattle just has a, uh, uh, and Chas Washington too has this, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's how you adjust, it's why there is, uh, especially in the arts and the sports world where people...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So many, a couple buddies and I from high school, we just started doing the, the sketches and home movie thing, like in seventh grade, when it was like on weekends, when it was pouring rain and you, uh, yeah, it was just like finding ways. It was, you know, what, how long can you play games?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you grow up in it, I don't think you know any different. As soon as I got to LA, I was like, you can wear shorts every day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You hear a lot of people go, I missed the seasons. I missed the seasons. And I do, I mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So just to piggyback on Seattle in the 90s, like, I just interviewed Sean Kemp at his cannabis store in Seattle. Unbelievable. Not only just to talk to a childhood hero, but also we went deep into like, what was it like to be, uh, so glorified and a part of the best time in Seattle, arguably, with the tunes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. So he was like, I would go to ems games sometimes till like the fourth inning. Cause you want to think too, you're like, are all the greats in my city like buddies, you know, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like uhm, like is Derek Henry and uh, OJ Mayo and Darius Rucker, are they all just playing Uno at a cheesecake factory somewhere?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're playing the O.J. Mayo drinking game at home, I think it's just two things at Mayo. But so he was like, we'd go to Em's games and then Griffey would come to the Sonics games and watch the fourth quarter. He's like, we would go to Pearl Jam. He's like, they were all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just homies together, which is great. Uhm, but, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, was it that cool to be a part of as it felt? And in hindsight, you see footage of just that air and he's like, oh, it was the best man. He's like, the city was alive and, and basketball ruled for Seattle. And I think that's why there's such a big void. Like obviously soccer has gotten to be cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Mariners did their thing for a minute and, and you know, football is, uh, taking over. Strong as, you know, as you can be before you just blow it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm fired up for that. Again, hockey never had it. So it's, uh, and why I love hockey even more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We just got one. Oh really? I think it's this fall. Yeah. I didn't hear that. I mean they just started, yeah. Season tickets sold in like 20 minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, one of the cooler logos. So maybe it'll be the crack house, fans of crack heads, who knows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, is there in-game entertainment in the, uh, is it Thunderbirds? Who's yours? Uh, Predator. Predators.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's weird. Unless you, I do like the house band, the Mariners at Safeco Field about, I'd say 10 years ago, uh, had the Baja men, uh, for a, for a game, which was a bold move. Hey man, an inning is fine. But they were like, hey, you guys can be here from the second to the eighth. And I'm sure even they were like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it was another Sugar Ray type thing where they tried to play. I think they have one other hit that was in an animated film. Uhm, and, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gonna look it up? Oh yeah. Hell yeah. It'd be great if you had the page already pulled up and you're like, I'm actually a big bottom. Another band you can't mosh pit at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've been around that long. I don't believe that at all. Yeah. For real? Yeah. And they're, are they considered like, it's not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Re- is it a re- yeah, behem- behemian, right? What does it say? 1977. Bahamas, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like what, that's move like this. That's what it was. Remember? Yea. But who let the dogs out? They've definitely played it more than once. Yea. And nobody had a problem with it. And it was in the outfield in the beer garden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I remember I had a couple buddies that were out there that they were like, you gotta come to the garden, man. Everyone's going crazy. I'm like, I can see you from here. You know, I can still hear the band, but it was great. It was, and it was a cool addition because I'm always, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, fascinated by the, uhm, you know, stadiums, arenas, whatever, trying to come up with ev- I mean- It's a show. For baseball too, like what? What are you getting? A hundred home games maybe? Like, you can't just have multiple bat nights and jersey nights and bobblehead giveaways and fireworks spectaculars. You're like, yeah, maybe, like, somebody in the Mariners organization was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably get the Baja man for like six grand. They could play the second to the eighth and they're like, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's one of the coolest things ever. And I wore a Dave Niehaus jersey. At a Mariners game? Yea. Oh, that's awesome. Yea, yea. No, just outside Nate's house. 2006. I'm sorry dude. I think we got off to a rocky start. You didn't deserve that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, I don't like people though, like those words for me are fine enough, but I don't like when people do like use words that you're like, come on, like one and 50 million people say that word on it. Kindred spirits, man. I like that. Kindred spirits is a cool phrase.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh really? Do you have a favorite word? Do you have a go-to word? I think everyone's got a word that they probably say too much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once you learn it, like I remember once I learned the word bewildered, I just was going out of my way to be confused. Just to be like, I am bewildered today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, I hear fulcrum and I think of Falcor from Never Ending Story or Velcro the shoe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I mean, there's the rich problem next to the Pike Place Market.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, a myriad of reasons got in the way as far as distance, not being around all the time, but also the weather was really, I'd be in sunny LA moving and shaking and she's on a day where she'd love to be doing that. It's inside pouring down rain and it was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was affecting her on that level. Yeah, for sure.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even the space needle is dope. Like to go up there, it's like such an amazing view, even on a cloudy day. And, uh, and there's like a restaurant at one level that rotates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was like speeding up like a Gravitron that they have at county fairs. You're like, okay, who sees that same kid running this, uh, the motion here, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Field trips would go like the aquarium, uh, which is where I met my first celebrity at the Seattle Aquarium, local celebrity. Uh, cause remember when you would see people on the news.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. And I think every- He worked in news for a long time. Oh did you really? Yeaah. Do like an anchor or sports or? Nah, just producer. Producer?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's celebrities dude, like they're gigantic celebrities. You see them every day. Yeah. And I, you know, I don't think people when they saw them would be like, what's it going to be tomorrow? But it was more just like seeing them on TV a lot and then seeing them out and about. And, uh, and I saw them at the aquarium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I fanned out at, uh, what, 10, and was just like, steeple!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he just kinda like slow motion turned like, hey kid, you know, and, and, you know, just lights around them and, and, uh, and then he had a headshot on them and signed it for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but, but people were, I remember other kids being like, no way you met Steve Poole. Like it was a big deal, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's the best. We would go to like cider farms or the zoo was a big thing. Uhm, parks, uh, you know what I got to see later in, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In, as I got older, when I started working at Universal Studios, right? I was a tour guy there for a little bit and was doing Wolverine and then I was doing the Cop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I was so geeked out when I saw that man. You probably, moments away where you could have seen me getting into a fight with the guy who was playing Shrek is where you filmed your next special.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I follow a boulevard where Spider-Man's got like, you know, asics on and peanut butter dripping from his pants. Yeah, that's not the real guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, there would be a, uh, uh, you know, chaperone security for all the characters, but we would initially pull out altogether was, uh, Captain America, Spider-Man, Storm, and Green Goblin, and myself, and, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is just already a weird sentence. If I had any sort of, you know, a post-work chat with like a, I live with the guys that were a chef and one worked at AT&T and we'd be going around and be like, so what? How was work today? Oh man, this person came in just so furious about the new phone and like couldn't get it to work and it was just such a pain in the ass and like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm probably gonna quit, like I'm just over this type of customer service other kid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, chef, he's like, yeah, it's just, you know, we had, we're just busy, more busy than normal. I thought it was going to be the slow season, but, uh, so I'm, I mean, I'm happy to be home and I was cooking up a storm, you know, but I love what I do. So what about you, Adam?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I was the, the last job I did was the New York cop. Which was like, not from anything, you're just a, uh, just a beat cop. And they had a chunk of the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next to the Bush Brothers stage that was like 1940s New York. They had a couple people up in the window that would scream down and be like, hey, welcome to New York Street. And everyone was like, I feel like we're in Brooklyn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they had like a cab there and then like a pizzeria and, uh, but, uh, but yeah, that whole, we'd come out together on these ATVs. And then we would, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And by the way, there was not people waiting for us. So we'd come out and people were just kind of like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we had, they had us come out together. We all zoom out together and then pose. So we come out and then stand up on your thing and go, yeah. And by the way, there's people just like on their maps, like, are we supposed to, do we watch this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we would parade around a little area and then stop at one section of the park and take pictures for a while. So first day working on the ATV, had to even take a little ATV practice thing. I'm out there in the full suit, just bare minimum facts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a kid runs up to me for an autograph and a picture. And I was like, yeah, hurry up, hurry up. Gotta catch up with the gang, you know? And, uh, and so he's standing real close to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, took the picture, and then thought he ran away. He kinda lingered, as you do, with a celeb. And uhm, cause we're just, the way they look at you was crazy. I mean, kids crying, being like, you're my favorite thing in the whole world. And so, I, you know, put it in a full throttle, and take off, and feel the wheel just go up and over something. And I was like, oh boy. And then, and then I turned back, and I hear,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or, uh, or do I like put it in reverse, go back over the other foot, just for good measure. So I couldn't, I couldn't think what to do. I literally just was like frozen. So I did nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I thought everything while I'm staring at him. So let's recap. Run over his foot, turn back, stare him down, and drive away. To which, that gets back, obviously, because whoever the chaperone was, was also an adult tattletale, and was like, you know, I had him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I'll go into my boss's office. So uhm, it's your first day and this is, everyone's, everyone's first of all getting a lot of compliments. Like just, the voice, the, your mannerisms, it's just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I should have probably, you know, it's assumed don't run over a kid's foot, but just be cautious because they're.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're going to run up to you and just be, you know, as close as they can to you because you're.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Rain, that's a big deal. That's a, yeah, I mean, it's, you know, it's pretty, I guess I just didn't, I didn't see the foot and also it's my first time on these things and I got a lot of power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They even, she gave me a hard time at one point for getting a little...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which I thought I was like probably in the best shape I've been in in a minute.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they give you the fake abs and like the fake chops and uhm. So you're wearing something. I'm wearing something, but still you can't be a complete. Yeah. Cause I've seen the Orlando Wolverine ones when I went down there for a friend's, uh, like bachelor party thing and we went there and, and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Wolverine was like Hollywood Boulevard adjacent. Like he was like Crenshaw Wolverine. And uhm, just very like, you know, he looked like he was 280. And like, and you're like, you gotta be in somewhat for the suit to fit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So she told me to lose weight. She was like, we're going to have you take, uh, five weeks off so you can hit the gym and go to 24 hour fitness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so it was, doing the tour guide was 8 bucks an hour and then you had to work a handful of hours to get a pay bump, uh, but it was just seasonal summer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and that was awesome because that was like an hour long show where I'm like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Running bits, you know, like, that I would do at the open mics that night, and it would have, uh, you know, and would do just stupid stunts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wasted reps, for sure. I feel like they, every day, even as Wolverine, cause I would get, uh, uh, uh, you know, harassed too for my boss about like being too funny. Cause, and that's where the cop thing was the best because it was truly not from anything. And, uh, so I could just do it and say whatever. And I would be riffing up a storm and go back to Dave Matthews. He came through the park.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With his family and I would always break character to talk to everybody. Greg Maddox had a 10 minute conversation with just about baseball and he was and Dave Matthews and his family. I would always go up and do bits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then make them laugh and Max was just slowly eating a cone, just judging me before I even broke character. He was just like, you know, just watch me like, you know, try to make his kids laugh and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it was like, Wolverine was like 23 an hour. Um, but yeah, it was just flexing that, I guess, performing muscle, but also.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's probably why I, uh, enjoy doing like crowd work in, in my shows. Uh, and just also it helped with, I don't know, even podcasting on a certain level. Just to, to get in that, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, get those reps in of just, I guess, improvising and just, and getting comfortable with talking with anybody. Uhm, but there, uh, there were these groups, when you're talking about field trips, they'd get these, uhm, uh, older,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kids, probably like high school, right? I don't know if you've heard of these, uh, these shows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that like in that? The teen tour was a thing where they'd get like 40 kids from a certain city. I think upstate New York was a lot of them that I would see. And they'd do this whole thing was I think like 50 grand. Yeaah. It's Jewish kids, isn't it? Totally, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you mosh pit with them, huh? Uh, no mosh pits at the bar mitzvahs I went to, uh, should have been, uh, but, uh, but they, they pay a lot of money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some, no, they were still nighttime shows, but they do Vegas, San Diego, San Fran, and LA, and they'd, on a big bus, they'd stay at all these dope hotels, and then they'd be like, Legoland, Disneyland, uh, The Improv, Universal, and really just Vegas for, you know, I don't know, the Hooters, you know, and uhm, and so they would come to Universal, and uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just always try to, and that was like the most fun because these kids were like, they were just spunky little.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Buy them $40 Mr. Pibbs at Universal. So I would like, that was fun cause then I would just like go toe to toe and just roast them in front of these girls and just, you know. And it was awesome cause they were just like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd be like, oh yeaah, let me know when you get that mustache in and hair on your back or whatever. Just, you know, clean stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they really, some of those, uh, yeah, princesses, they had Princess Fiona at Universal, and uh, yeah, I mean, there's different variations of commitment level, but like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, that was the cool thing was being everyday people coming in and being like, you're like, wow, you're part of this person's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why I would like to actually chat people up and get to know them a little bit. And cause I was always curious of like, man, you're getting people from all walks of life. Some people that were like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I get a guy pull me aside being like, yeah, I emptied my bank account for this vacay. And so I'm just, I'm like, oh, pressure. All right. Now I gotta, so then go out of my way to maybe go get some front of the line passes form or something like that, or.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or, uh, or, you know, pictures with all the Avenger, I'd rally everybody, you know, just things, you know, and then some people were, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, just had the season passes and were coming through and some people would divulge, like, info to me. This one guy was like giving me a whole...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They haven't been yet, so I'm just, we were, we were, oh April we were gonna do a Disneyland and then I was trying to, uh, find a way to, uh, get them to stay maybe a couple other days and crash with us to go to Universal, cause it's still very kid friendly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really, it meant a lot to me to walk around. You remember those feelings of, of hoping it was better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, would you write on the, did you have like, would you go to like the subway and like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it even fair to ask where it ranks or how it compares or is it almost like a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, when people go Michael LeBron and you're like different eras, different time, different material, but like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just hearing your, uh, sentiments and the attachment to it, I feel like it's gotta be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, dude, I used to do that all the time. Like, I mean, there was one kid, I think it started when


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My folks split when I was nine and a kid told me who knew my folks that they got back together. And I was at recess and I believed it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I went home being like, mom, awesome! And I was like, huh? And I was like, you and dad, figure it out! No? Oh!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then go back to school and, and, uh, and, and I think I started messing with people after that because I was like, Oh, that felt awful. But I was like, Oh, I'm very gullible. I wonder if people are, but I wouldn't do stuff. That's, that was pretty, you know, that was a deep cut.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The weather though, for most times in Seattle was like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you're like, alright. And whether in general, I think, when they're showing...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and if there's, when they put up like a picture of a son wearing sunglasses, I'm like, if you can't see that, and like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Decipher for yourself what type of wardrobe to put on. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's got a cool weather name. I feel like it's almost like with athletes like Steve Poole. Come on. Or maybe he made his name cool. I don't know. Let's talk about it more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Earthquakes had a couple of high school that were crazy. Uhm, one I remember watching a Sonic game when I was, uh, in the downstairs and, and you know, the Rain Man had a crazy downstairs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When my folks were together, yea, and then when we moved into another.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd say like, there was probably three that I remember living through. Yeah. Tornadoes, no. When I would go visit my grandparents in Oklahoma, uh, I mean, that's the tornado warnings every other 10 minutes. I felt like it was like, you know, go to like every 10 minutes there was the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The beep and then the, under the, the ticker of like, get to a shed or a bunker ASAP or a, you know, or a, or a Carl's, you know, a Hardee's, like go to the Hardee's drive-thru and you're like, is this advertised? Are they trying to advertise during a tornado? Swing through, run to any Hardee's bathroom. Hardee's bathroom, but before that bathroom, get the new steak and shake, you know? Get the new double decker cheeseburger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yeaah, so, uh, and the quakes were always like decent. There was one that was like a five something or a six point five that was like a pretty good, uh, rim shake. Like you, you felt it. And then one at school, when I remember getting under the tables.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I remember, again, like you just follow blindly those types of rules. I remember we all went out to a field after. It was a bomb scare the same day as an earthquake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where you're just like, I felt like your buddy on the edge being like, let me just jump into the ocean. Yeah. And, uh, cause this is, this day was not meant for any of us. And, uh, the bomb scare wasn't as crazy cause we were all out on the field and everyone's just like business as usual.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're like, I didn't know he didn't think about that. Yeah. Cause they just hear bomb and they go everybody get out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like maybe we should locate where it is. Yeaah. They don't tell you. Go to the field that's actually right where it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Bellevue is like the nicer part of town. Lake Forest Park where I grew up is like a, you know, decent quiet suburb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was supposed to do that in a couple weeks, but, uh, they're not at the proper phase yet to get stuff done, which stinks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That horror story crushed, I remember, when you, uh, were at the Paramount with, with Rock. You did it. I wanna say that was like, pretty fresh too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I remember, uh, you know, complimenting it and, and you being like, yeah, it's still working it out or whatever. I was like, oh cool. That must be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he had a helicopter too. By the way. Was it the octopus? Is that what it was called? The ultimate Irish goodbye. Getting on a helicopter and just bouncing from your own party.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, that's the, that's the this guy. Do you feel pressure to like, then go back and be like, dude, thank you. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like to really, oh, to really cause I, he would have more than me. I mean, I'm using it right now, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was it, were you nervous for that, an eclectic group of people? Were you like, dude, I might take this away from my phone if I bomb or like?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, one time me and Captain America, and uh, the inventions of the things you don't think about, there's a kid in my fraternity at USC that had a house party at his house, and we're driving up through the neighborhood, and uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's like, he's like, yeah, Shackle's over there, Denzel's over there. And this is like, I haven't been around any. I'm at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of met, accosted Larry King at the movie theater, like a month prior. Uh, where he was with his nephew. They were at the snack machine. And I was a little stony baloney.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was like, Hey Larry, big fan. And he was like, Oh, thanks. And I was like, you getting some snacks? Just lingering. Shouldn't have said anything, but in my head, I was like, I gotta say something. No, you don't. And so he was like, I'm with my nephew. Do you mind? I was like, I just got interviewed by Larry King. Not at all. My body pulled me away, but so that was my only encounter up until that point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, didn't know when to pull out of the story, or the moment. And so, uh, so we're driving up this hill and, and you're, it's been very, becoming very apparent that money is, uh, not an issue for people to live in this area. So his house is bonkers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, I mean, a couple screening rooms, uh, closets with multiple guitars, like probably 30, uh, in each closet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a big guest house, just bowls of cigarettes at every station.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, and finally I'm like, you know, miles, what does your dad do? He's like, Oh, you know, that, um, thing.

[Assistant] Okay, based on Nate saying yeaah, nervously three times, that's not really gonna push me through to the prototype stage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's got a great sense of humor, you know, and, uh, and, and I didn't feel as, because I remember, you know, obviously I still felt very embarrassed and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do remember hearing about it in, maybe it was just a day of school where it was like Seattle history and seeing footage of it. Pretty crazy. Definitely made me never want to go. 57 people were killed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, I mean, it definitely made me go, oh, I never want to, I don't know, climb a mountain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Volcano blasts. 47 to me is enough. Like even when uhm, you know, people...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 57? Still, uh, a significant number. Like when people got, I think there was like three people that got E. coli from, was it Jack in the Box back in the day?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was enough for me to be like, cool, I guess I'm a Wendy's guy now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's pretty, uh, Eastern Washington, yeah. I mean, I don't know, I feel like it, uh, you feel that way? Yeah, I don't, I guess I don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. Yeah. I mean, look, you know, we were the first to legalize pod. What do you guys say about that? We, uh, um, I, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I usually find out about, uh, or learn of a, uh, how conservative someone is as if they try to pitch me a joke after a show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he goes, uh, he goes, what's a, what's a Jewish dilemma? And I was like, all right. First of all, he asked, he's like, he's like, you want to, I got a joke for if you want to use that. I was like, I'm good, man. He goes, what's a Jewish dilemma? So I was like, I don't know. Yeah. And I go, what? He goes, a free ham sandwich.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess you do need a big. Ever Washington, home to the first nightclub I went to. I don't think it's there anymore. Also home to my brother-in-law.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Tim, rapper name Durte, look him up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were like, Oh, the Beatles stayed at the first hotel in downtown Seattle. Everett's got a hotel where you're like, Oh, I think like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the bare naked lady stayed there. And it's like that type of, which no knock on the bare naked. There's probably a better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tank top, no, purple, uh, turtleneck and black sweatpants. I would never wear that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and so not only do I have to come back from recess and lunch in that, I gotta wear it the rest of the day and wear it at home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and the only team now, I think, in baseball or professional sports to not make it to, well, the only baseball team to not make it to the World Series after the Nationals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We ran at his, uh, Bronco, uh, at spring training in 1995. Oh, you ran into it. Ran up to his, he pulled out all the players post practice would pull up. And it was kind of a note thing. Yeah. You run up there, but kids, there was about probably 50 of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was not the first kid that month he yelled at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the beast quake, right? On Marshawn Lynch's epic run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have it be loud. Are you like pumping crowd noise in there? And I was like, I mean, it's just a lot of people get fired about the team. The seats are like built to like absorb noise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great 8 or the Sweet 16. But the farthest Gonzaga, it put Gonzaga on the map. It was Matt Santangelo, Richie Fromm, Casey Calvary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's what paved the way for Adam Morrison and Dan Dickow and just all those greats.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I went to senior night, uh, at Gonzaga. It was crazy cause it was their last game. It was before that run, which put them on the map. It was a big deal in Washington state all over really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Boy, that, what a, what a, look at this guy, man. I mean, how do you be, this is why sports, uh, there is just no guarantee in any of these businesses, because what a college career. And couldn't even, there's guys you could probably think of that go, oh man, they had a, they made a splash for a couple seasons and either injuries got in the way or.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm actually surprised I turned out halfway decent after getting just scolded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just had this flash of you as a motivational speaker, but you only speak to groups of 50 kids.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now what would be your follow up if you were in a, let's say you were at a barbecue and somebody brought that up, right? The way that we just, uh, were on the receiving end of and you felt the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, inadequacy of like, oh boy, that what a weird fact, but I don't want to make this guy feel bad. Let me piggyback on it. Like act super interested. What would you ask? Like, I wonder if it's tough for them to see, like, you know, what would you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is where I just go, alright, like let's tone down some of the progressiveness and the weed smoking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, I, I don't, I like the idea of believing in it, for sure. Do I think Harry and the Hendersons was based on a true story?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do I want to? Yeaah. Do I want to think that somewhere there's John Lithgow met the real guy that was like, I had to tell him to go home! And he's like, it's crazy you sound like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, but I've seen Finding Bigfoot in which they don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, he's into it. Yeah, Jeff is a great dude, great comic and a smooth talker, good looking dude. Uhm, yeah, I don't know if all the, if everything's clicking up there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's why I love him. But that's why I love him. And, uh, and he's more street smart than book smart, but he even announces that, which is why I love him. That being said, I, I think I need to be, like, that's why being here for that, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next podcast you guys do and getting some more first hand accounts. Meeting somebody if I could see it in their eyes and not have to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, also, these aren't the guys I'm accustomed to that say that Bigfoot is, uhm, is out there. You know, again, the guys on the show usually are, look like they themselves, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I'm saying. I think we're cast, we cast the wrong guys to try to find them. Yeah. And about the show, Finding Bigfoot, I think those guys are more of like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they were making the show, like these are the guys that would be fun, uh, that you would think would go, but it's like, I don't think they're.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Literally I saw one episode, I think it was like season finale, the end of the series, uh, or season, and spoiler alert, they didn't find it. And the guy went to the edge of the cliff and just went like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somebody told him as a joke, like, ah, here's how you find them. You just do like a, like a bird, like a bird choking on some mac and cheese. And he does that. And I was like, what was he hoping that Bigfoot would just be like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello? From down below? So that he does that, and then steps back and then just looks at his buddies and goes, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but also I think, to your point, and again, I don't not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe in the, I want to believe it. So, so I, again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I think there is something to be said, uh, to piggyback on what you said about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's like a, I don't want to meet my hero type thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, there was, I just remember this thing too about one night I was doing an open mic at the comedy store after a shift as Wolverine and there was a family there just at the potluck show, like who was staying, came early and was staying for like the regular show after and recognized me and the guy came up to me and was like, hey, you were in our family photo today and showed me. I was like, dude, you gotta let me have this, please. Can you separate?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I bet Randy Johnson knows where Bigfoot is. When you're that big, you gotta access.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a, uh, I've, uh, watched a lot of these and I was very pumped to be here. No joke. It's great. Like you guys have a great crew. I'm a big fan of the like crew like this. It's a good size. You guys are all like the flow is good. This area is incredible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm about to get a Helix mattress for the About Last Night podcast. Is it great? It's great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just like the way people unwrap like their creams and their, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like human names for dogs always make me laugh though. I had a dog named Franklin and it always cracked me up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you named the dog Jim? Jim might be too human, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sid. Sid, okay, yes. Is Jim close to something that you're telling your dog to do? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you can turn it off after an hour. If you're, if Meg's on a tight schedule.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. My fiance is Jewish. That's how I knew about their calendar. I don't, she doesn't celebrate two birthdays, so I don't know. I don't know what that's all about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sound quality on a normal phone is amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will say if you sent me a message or a DM or an email about the fact that I might have gal, I'm sorry I haven't responded. I got dozens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dozens of messages. People say I need to get my uric acid level checked. When I get a doctor, I'll be sure to do that, but I need to get a doctor first. Yeah, you'll be alright. Yeah, I'll be alright. But thank you everybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, I'm not even 30 yet and I might have gout. So can you take a look at that please?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that put kind of a stigma on it for me personally. Yeah, you don't want it. So I hope I don't have it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no, but somebody commented that I could do that with a letter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's nice. Which is... I'm not sure if that's easier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I totaled it up last night. I've been to 42 states. Wow. 50. Rhode Island is one that I have not been to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It almost would make more sense. Yeah, well Providence is right on the edge too. You see, so, I mean. So most people don't even. You're probably five minutes from, uh, whatever this state is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think people from Rhode Island are against DC statehood? Because then they'd no longer be the smallest state.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's probably not easy to just get an audience with the king whenever you want. Once you get back over there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we don't need the longest name. We don't need, uh, the smallest name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They just thought they could choose with like chickens and pigeons and like, I guess we'll do chicken. I guess chicken.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know the American bird was supposed to be a turkey for a long time, and then thank God they chose the eagle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many people are in Rhode Island? Over a million. So more than Wyoming, more than Montana?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember, uh, watching this thing on TV.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Isn't chicago right in chicago there are bars where they had specially built booths for him or he could sit and see the whole room. Yeah, pretty crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, right. I do that by the way when I sit down at a restaurant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like to be able to see the whole, I don't know what I think is going to happen, but. But if it does happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I won't be able to do anything to help, but I'll see it happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think it's paranoia. I think it's like a, I don't know. For me, it's paranoia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. And that's one generation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't think it comes back around? You don't think it goes in?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The world is cyclical, man, yeaah. Hopefully not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Rhode Island? Yeah, I looked that up. Most Gregory's by state.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could, I'd have to dig deep. It's not an easy, that's not an easy Google.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 736,000 people in the United States named Gregory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 99.77% of people at the Dave Gregory are male. So it can be a female name too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the, this is the, you found the breakdown of all the States and how many people are named Gregory. Can you guess the state with the highest number of Gregory's?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll give you a hint. It's the most densely populated state in the United States. Rhode Island? No, Rhode Island is number four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of it's all, uh, the Northeast, that whole New England area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Well, once again, I don't, I thought that this right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this teacher salary, but then they're weighing it against.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not even in order. God, man, I hate graphs. We really do have a graph.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When did Pac-Man come out? Early 80's? It's an early 80's game, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see when the pie chart was made. Earliest known pie chart, 1801. So maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there's some correlation probably. I mean, it was 180 years before Pac-Man, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first ever pie chart that we know of depicted the proportions of the Turkish Empire located in Asia, Europe, and Africa before 1789.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the first graph, so, sounds like pretty important stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well, this is the, yeah, this dude. Yeah, that's, that's the first ever, that's the first ever pie chart that we know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Am I making you uncomfortable? I don't really know what that means, but kinda.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't have any too many things. You think that's a common, common, uh, adjustment?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somebody from Rhode Island came in, tried to get some hot wieners.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd be like listen, it's gonna be a little bit different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just a bunch of stuff on it, yeaah. There's a little more structure to that one. Yeaah. Yeaah. Some of these look like, I mean, that does not look appealing really whatsoever. It doesn't look appealing, but it's good. I'm sure it's great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, so it's like, uh, like you make chocolate milk, but it's a, it's a different kind of syrup that you put it in. It's like a, it's like a jamoca shake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I'm guessing. Yeah, I guess. It's a tough dream. I'd never heard of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love that all their signature food is just a slightly smaller version of a normal food. We got slightly smaller hot dogs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think so. I think that's part of it. They could be. Let's see if the flip side of that when we get to Texas, we'll see if everything's bigger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, for religious reasons, I don't watch our candy movies. No, I would. I just missed them, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes you buy it with the intent. Oh, I'd like to be able to see like a story, but I haven't got around to it yet. No, not like a store. I don't go buy just boxes. I buy them one by one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then sometimes the internet's out and I'm like, well, that doesn't faze me at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, animation, that kind of stuff. You can learn technical skills, I'm guessing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My favorite episode. Yea, I would love you to go see. We would teach a class at Vol State or somewhere. Yea. Be an adjunct professor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, listen, you gotta kinda prove yourself first, maybe start out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you're right. Maybe what, what are you looking for? Belmont? That's about as high as I see you going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what Matt Davis, one of my favorite lines. He opens up the jacket and it says Providence. He goes, the principles of detection tell me this guy's from Providence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have to fly jet blue to Florida.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're, uh. Oh, it gets graffitied sometimes? Oh, what's wrong with people? That's disheartening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think you're doing it for other graffiti artists to go. Oh man, he really threw the gauntlet down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Yeah. Yeah, one of those guys. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you name another current painter? Oh, current painter. I mean, I can name Rembrandt and stuff, but I'm talking about right now in the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's hard to call what he does graffiti. No, he's not doing graffiti. Obviously. I just wanna make that clear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You heard that Brian Regan bit about him having to judge art Picasso. He said, Hey Pablo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's an investment too. It's like buying a real estate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He died in like the 60's, didn't he? Really? He was pretty recently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to say maybe even the 90s. Nooo. 70s, died in 1973. What? Yea, he was around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was Van Gogh, he didn't, yea, until after he died.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, he just, I don't think he, nobody cared about his paintings till after he died. So he just, his whole life was just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you would be... I think I would think seriously about leaving when I saw the players in the dugouts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Burn their bats for warmth. That would make me go, I should probably get home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I should probably get his knees replaced too after that too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just make do. I mean, is this the worst logo you've ever seen for a sports team? Oh, maybe. Is that a human or is it a dog?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You ever been to a steamroller game? We'll take a look around some of my work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is what the logo should have been. They used an actual steam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, for like 15, 20 minutes. Yeah. Staying there. Oh really? Yeah. That's uh, they couldn't hold a smile that long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One common explanation for the lack of smiles in old photos is long exposure times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, well that's okay. So there are a bunch of different reasons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that is a post mortem picture. Oh jeez, sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Victorian. Okay. There's a lot of reasons. I recommend you do research on your own folks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They go to James Woods High School. Really? In the show, yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, if you didn't know what an elephant was, I would shoot one too. If you saw that thing coming at you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if you, I don't know if you suggesting Nick was talking too much or.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you tell me that, uh, supposedly Craig Robinson is the one that said, hey man, you gotta chill?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is meaner and funnier. That's what makes it great. It's definitely meaner. Three English words begin with DW. Dwarf, dwell, and dwindle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I'd fly about once a year before we went on the road. It's not much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jay Larson commented you would survive for five days and then you'd be gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So basically, uh, she had cancer and, uh, or at least that's what she told him, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, Taylor and his parents on December 26th, day after Christmas, it's nice they waited, uh, found out that he'd been a victim of what appeared to be a hoax. Someone using a fictitious name, apparently,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the early morning, December 26th, Matt Tye called his coaches to inform them while he was in attendance in the ESPN awards show in Orlando. He received a phone call from a number he recognized with Lenny Kakua.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he answered it, it was a person whose voice sounded like the same person he talked to who told him that she was in fact not dead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My time was very unnerved by that as you might imagine. So at first he thought she was still his girlfriend, still real, but actually alive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So basically the Cardiff giant is one of the most famous hoaxes in American history and it happened in Cardiff, New York. So this guy got in this argument with this


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Preacher, this preacher was saying in the Bible, it said there were giants that roamed the earth at one time and he was thought, I'm just going to mess with him. So he created this petrified 10 foot tall man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had some help. He buried it in the back of the yard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Waited some time and then got some well diggers to come and like, Oh, look what we found. A petrified man. It's 10 feet tall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it became this big thing and they started charging money for it. People came all over around the world to see this, what they thought was a real petrified giant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then PT Barnum was so into it, he asked to. That's Nick's favorite.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, uh, PT Barnum offered $50,000 for the giant and when they refused, he hired someone to create a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Plaster replica. He just started displaying that saying, this is the real giant, theirs is fake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it worked because people are like, Oh, okay. So then, uh, that's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I don't know, I think he just was making so much money himself, people coming around to see it, that he's like, no way. And then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so then, uhm, the phrase, there's a sucker born here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sucker born every minute is a reference to spectators paying to see Barnum's giant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh wow. It's crazy. They were both fake. Yeaah. I think they, the first guy sued P.D. Bartle saying you can't show this is fake. But they were both fake. They were both fake. How did they eventually find out? Did they? Uh, they went to court and then the judge, the guy finally had to confess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You want me to share some more? Yea. Alright. War of the Worlds. That's the one that maybe most people think about. That's a movie. Well, it was a movie, but it's a real life thing. Orson Welles did a radio play back in the 19, uh, 1930s. And, um, he did one about Martians attacking earth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they say at the beginning of the episode that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is just a play, it's not real, it's whatever, blah blah blah. But everyone was tuned to another station at the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so no one heard the disclaimer that this isn't real. Then what's the ventriloquist? Not everyone flips over to this and freaking out because they're like, they're attacking Chicago, St. Louis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The National Guard's been wiped out, people are fleeing the big cities, and then people really did start fleeing and freaking out, and, uh, started calling, begging police for gas masks, requesting their power be shut off so the aliens wouldn't see them, and some people were treated for shock at the hospital.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was like a newsman, folks. Here's the latest. St. Louis has been destroyed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When CBS got wind of the hysteria Orson Welles went on the airs himself to remind listeners that this was fiction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only thing I can think of when Twitter first became a thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a standard, I guess, if you're going to do a fake account for someone, you're supposed to make it obvious. Like it's a fake account. I didn't know those rules. So I thought it'd be fun to create an account for Marvin Harrison.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The football player? Who never says a word. I thought that'd be so funny if Marvin Harrison, you know, was saying funny things. I wanted it to be fake, but I made it way too real and I got so many followers so quick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this at all, it already happened when I created this account, which made me think this will be so much funnier, but I made it way too real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. I just realized that wasn't Nate that finally followed me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, Sid Finch. So this was an April Fool's Day hoax that Sports Illustrated did. They realized the issue was coming out April 1st, 1985.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this writer wrote this article about Sid Fitch, a fictional baseball player, uhm, he was raised


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, English orphanage, learned yoga in Tibet and could throw a fastball as fast as 168 miles per hour. Real guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, so they found this, this, uh, they put Sid's pitcher on the cover and say he was a Ricky baseball pitcher training with New York Mets. Got hurt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, Mets fans were very excited, overjoyed at their luck in finding such a player, and Flooded Sports Illustrated requested for more information.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It says many people fell for the prank. The magazine printed a much smaller article in the following April 8th issue announcing Finch's retirement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, so on October 15th, 2009, a homemade helium fill gas balloon, uh, came untethered in Fort Collins, Colorado. And, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The family called the police. Their six-year-old son was trapped inside it. Did you remember that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Authorities confirmed the balloon reached 7,000 feet during its 90 minute flight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Up there's so long news crews like had helicopters. I remember watching. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. People watch you on the news. The event attracted worldwide attention.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and the boy, his name was Falcon, was nicknamed Balloon Boy by the media.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] National Guard helicopters, local police pursued the balloon after flying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 16 now. 16 years old. Just, well he turned 17 in two days. Just turned 17. 17.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't believe it. Again, Aaron is like the reason. Yeah. I don't even know how to read this because I don't know. Um, all right. Let's see. So the news story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the balloon landed on its own. Alright, I'm gonna check. When, uh, it finally came to landing on its own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, when Falcon was not inside, it was reported that an object had been seen falling from the balloon. So a search was begun. Later that day, the boy was found hiding in the attic of his home where he had apparently been the entire time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suspicions of a hoax soon arose, particularly after an interview with Wolf Flitzer and Larry King Live that same evening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Asked why he was hiding, Falcon said to his father, you guys said that, uhm, we did this for the show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The dad finally pled guilty to attempting to influence a public servant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His wife was sent us to 20 days of weekend jail. What was the balloon boy in the office you said? Oh, sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many of the press releases claims were unrealistic from suggesting that Catholics would soon be able to take Holy Communion through their computer to claiming that conversion to Catholicism was an upgrade. Despite these warning signs, several readers of the fake


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Press release, contact Microsoft, confirm the claim of the hoax.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, there was a woman who claimed to be a survivor of World Trade Center attacks and she, she went by the name Tanya Head. She joined the World Trade Center Survivor Network Support Group, later became its president, but in 2007 it was revealed that her story was a hoax. She wasn't even in New York City on September 11th.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nate, you'll like this one. Go ahead, Aaron. Nah, I wasn't gonna. I don't even know why. My bad. Yeah, he's trying to talk too much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Edward Owens hoax was a historical hoax created by students at George Mason University in 2008 as a class project to see if they could create a false story that would be spread across the internet. The students created a website and a fictitious entry


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On Wikipedia about Edward Owens, supposedly a Virginia oyster fisherman born in 1853, who became a pirate!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no like, hey, could this be true? He tried to make us believe the way Boggs went in the Hall of Fame as a Tampa Bay Devil Ray.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh really? Yeah. It was just the lady in her car basically. Yeah. We said the vaccine, she had a wet towel down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not soaking wet, but damp for some reason. You gonna sit on the towel?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's the new intro. We've been waiting all week for that. Hello!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna call it shirts and skins, I think. Oh, you're still deciding? Nah, I think I've kind of, shirts and skins as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no, no, no, no, no. That was something else. That was the Aaron Weber special if you want to order something. It would be a Diet Coke in him and him. At a concession stand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What club is this? That's Third Coast Comedy Club here in Nashville.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well if that's how little it looks like a D, then it looks more like a backwards G.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then a D and I gotta say the outpouring of support about the Disney gate has been overwhelming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. That's hilarious. Yeah. It's that common. They just laugh it off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You said it so confidently that I left thinking, okay, there's tostina, Totino's pizza rolls, and then there must be a pizza called Totino's because you said it so confidently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This guy work for Big Red? Yeaah. Or something? I got really offended by that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man. When I was younger and I learned all the tricks, you know, and there was a lot of fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are metal cups and the balls were like felt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that a common thing for people to do that? Kind of get caught up in that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I'll be honest, I saw, I saw the one that was more and I was like, well that I don't, you know, I, maybe I thought more about it than I should have. I like that one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. All right. So pull it back again. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it was my car. That's a three of spades. Uh, that is unbelievable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you do any tricks now or have done something that would be considered dangerous?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. What was that kid saying? I would love to hear that. I don't know. You know, those aren't arenas that they're doing that in. This is pretty small.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, those lanes are narrow. Yeaah. And just what are you doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You probably can't hear anything when you're swimming like that, right? So you just have no idea. Just to come up to? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I like it, you know. I didn't know that about Luca's last name because I've heard it pronounced incorrectly so many times. Donchich.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I was going to say, I was going to ask a dumb question. Has your internal clock?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you prefer that than just deleting the original comment? I like seeing his growth as a listener, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yea, they ask like a thousand people, then extrapolate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No balance in a lot of ways. With social media, there's a direct line from that homeless person to the president. To the president. Which is insane. Crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've done focus groups for money, but I've never done surveys like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I signed up for the servers where they, like, we want to talk to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Males 18 to 24 who use chewing tobacco and then you just go in a room and sit and they just ask you about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, your habits and stuff. Just to learn what I did when I was 18 to 24.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How long do they take? The forums usually, just a few minutes, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're saying if MIT botches a study, no one's going to think MIT's a bad school now. It's like they've got enough name recognition. But if Vol State got a call from, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Science and said, you gotta do this study. They'd be like, well, we got, I mean, this is everything. This is everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do you know when you've got to the point where it's just, okay, I now I'm, this is where I want to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whenever I hear numbers like $3,000 a month for rent, in my head I'm like, oh, well, but they get paid more up there. That's how I rationalize it in my head, but not, not that much more, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You think that would be more of an incentive for professional athletes to play in states like Tennessee and Texas?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know, whatever state the game is played, but you know, if you're in the Dodgers, then half your games are for sure in California.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do, I moved here when I was a junior in high school and I've been here ever since, that was, you know, 12 years ago, which is longer than most people have been here now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And not many people claim Montgomery, Alabama, where I'm from, so.
