<v Speaker 2>I have always always, always had at the ready nearby

8
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:28.399
<v Speaker 2>a tube of chapstick or lip stuff always.

9
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:31.239
<v Speaker 1>Yep. I had to throw one out yesterday. I used

21
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Right, So I got this other one that kind of

22
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:00.679

00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:23.879
<v Speaker 2>i'd share that with you guys. Not anybody cares, but

32
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:25.760
<v Speaker 2>it's just a thing. It's a big thing for it.

33
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:26.760
<v Speaker 2>It's a big deal.

34
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:28.959
<v Speaker 3>When we when we just picked it up and threw

35
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:30.840
<v Speaker 3>it on the counter and then it was eleven dollars

36
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:33.040
<v Speaker 3>for a two pac I was like, sorry about you, Like,

37
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:34.239
<v Speaker 3>if you don't like it.

38
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, right, because it was eleven dollars.

39
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:39.040
<v Speaker 2>And your chapstick was a dollar ninety nine. Right, Oh well,

40
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:41.439
<v Speaker 2>I'll have it for ten years. Yeah, it's two tubes.

41
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.519
<v Speaker 2>I'll have it for ten years. Tricia, what's first thing?

42
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:45.159
<v Speaker 2>Made you laugh?

43
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:48.439
<v Speaker 3>I want attention from a very specific set of people

44
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:51.640
<v Speaker 3>at a very specific time, and other than that, I'd

45
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:53.719
<v Speaker 3>like to be one hundred percent left alone.

46
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:56.920
<v Speaker 1>So basically, only when you want THEE.

47
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.359
<v Speaker 3>When I give this signal, then I want some attention

48
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.799
<v Speaker 3>I gave, and then when I get the signal, I

49
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:03.640
<v Speaker 3>want to be left alone.

50
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:07.079
<v Speaker 2>There's nothing wrong with wanting to be left alone, right, really,

51
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and especially if you're married first, I've been

52
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:10.360
<v Speaker 2>married sixteen years.

53
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>Just give each other their space. You never know a

54
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Trish will barge in. I do. Yeah, you barge in

55
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:18.599
<v Speaker 1>in my eye.

56
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:20.240
<v Speaker 3>That's one of those times that I'm like and now

57
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:22.080
<v Speaker 3>I want attention, so I come barging in.

58
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.319
<v Speaker 2>We have separate bedrooms in our house, and Trisha will

59
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:27.599
<v Speaker 2>just literally barge into my room.

60
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:29.560
<v Speaker 1>When I go to her room. I keep pit a little.

61
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:35.120
<v Speaker 3>I know you don't. Doors never closed except if I'm sleeping.

<v Speaker 1>the tibo. Oh no, I'll lock the door if I'm

64
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:39.919
<v Speaker 1>doing a typo.

00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:45.680
<v Speaker 3>Nobody has ever seen me with their eyes doing the typo,

66
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:46.759
<v Speaker 3>and they never will.

67
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:49.199

<v Speaker 2>way that I see it.

96
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:09.759
<v Speaker 1>People. So you found that Instagram account called Glorious Broad. Yeah,

97
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:11.240
<v Speaker 1>it's called Glorious Brides.

98
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.120
<v Speaker 3>It interviews older women to get their take on steph h.

99
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:17.879
<v Speaker 3>They interviewed one woman, her name is Annie Corsen.

100
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:19.199
<v Speaker 1>She's an actress.

101
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:21.560
<v Speaker 3>She had bit parts and a lot of stuff, and

102
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:24.120
<v Speaker 3>she says she learned how to say no after someone

103
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:26.519
<v Speaker 3>once invited her to go camping. She didn't want to go,

104
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.399
<v Speaker 3>she said yes and ended up using poison ivy as

105
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.199
<v Speaker 3>toilet paper. Here's what she has to say.

106
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.680
<v Speaker 4>I'm I don't feel any different from when I was sixteen.

107
00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:38.680
<v Speaker 4>I still think about boys, and I still hate my hair.

108
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:41.199
<v Speaker 1>You know that has not changed.

109
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:44.920
<v Speaker 4>You know what the big difference is, tell us I

110
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:49.439
<v Speaker 4>can say no, and younger people are so anxious to please.

111
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, I can do that. Oh sure I want that.

112
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:53.759
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, that's a good idea.

113
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:57.639
<v Speaker 4>I've learned to say I'm sorry. That doesn't really work

114
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:01.000
<v Speaker 4>for me. I've never been able to say ever.

115
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.560
<v Speaker 2>Tricia, you're an early bloomer on saying no because you

116
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:08.279
<v Speaker 2>have no problem and say no, Yeah it doesn't interest me, no, thanks.

117
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:08.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

118
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:10.279
<v Speaker 3>I think I might have gotten it a little bit

119
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:14.120
<v Speaker 3>for my grandmother. My grandmother was very much a absolutely

120
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:15.040
<v Speaker 3>not no ma'am.

121
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:18.199
<v Speaker 1>She's tough broad. Yeah. My grandma was the ultimate tough blood.

122
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:21.399
<v Speaker 3>Yes, so I feel like maybe I emulate her a

123
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:24.519
<v Speaker 3>little bit It comes with age though, Yeah, for sure,

124
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:27.920
<v Speaker 3>for sure learning how to be like mmm, yeah, no,

125
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:28.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to do that.

126
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:30.560
<v Speaker 2>You know, when you really look like a tough broad

127
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:32.560
<v Speaker 2>is when you roll your T shirt sleeves up and

128
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:35.279
<v Speaker 2>make tank tops out of it. That's what you look like.

129
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:37.959
<v Speaker 3>When I'm exercising and I get hot. Yeah, you hate

<v Speaker 3>very gentle giants.

153
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:53.399
<v Speaker 1>I would think that all the fish they eat. Don't

154
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:55.560
<v Speaker 1>think they're that nice. Yow those fish, you gotta get

155
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:55.959
<v Speaker 1>out of the way.

156
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:59.439
<v Speaker 2>There are whales alive today that have been alive since

157
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:05.360
<v Speaker 2>before the book Moby Dick was written in eighteen fifty one. Wow,

158
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:08.879
<v Speaker 2>they're bowhead whales off the coast of Alaska, and they're

159
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:10.120
<v Speaker 2>over two hundred years old.

160
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:12.199
<v Speaker 1>Two hundred years old.

161
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:16.439
<v Speaker 3>That's an old whale, right, and that is an old whale.

162
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:16.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

163
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:18.720
<v Speaker 2>I wonder if thinking you know, they got little scooters?

164
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:23.600
<v Speaker 2>Think no, Speaking of books, do you care? Don't care

165
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:26.839
<v Speaker 2>to want to know the most checked out book at

166
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:30.319
<v Speaker 2>the New York Public Library since it opened in eighteen

167
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:31.160
<v Speaker 2>ninety five.

168
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:33.600
<v Speaker 1>I definitely am interested. Yeah, I thought you would.

169
00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:38.399
<v Speaker 2>The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats. I've never heard

170
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:38.600
<v Speaker 2>of it.

171
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:40.560
<v Speaker 1>Never heard of it, Okay, I don't know what I

172
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:41.319
<v Speaker 1>was expecting.

173
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:43.920
<v Speaker 2>I was thinking one of the classics, Yeah, you know

174
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:47.240
<v Speaker 2>what I mean, like mdby Dick, like Moby Dick exactly.

175
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:49.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's a perfect example of it.

176
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:51.480
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats is

177
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:53.240
<v Speaker 2>the most checked out book at the New York Puppic

178
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Library since it opened in eighteen ninety five. Okay, all right,

179
00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:58.360
<v Speaker 2>and finally, you know my man had a busy night

180
00:07:58.480 --> 00:07:59.920
<v Speaker 2>last night, Anderson Cooper.

181
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh, yep, Gloria Vanderbilt's son. Yep, you're right, you're right.

182
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:07.399
<v Speaker 2>Uh did you know that he's the only one of

183
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:10.639
<v Speaker 2>that family, the Vanderbilt family, that has any money left.

184
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:12.600
<v Speaker 1>They're all all he and his mom. The other ones

185
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:13.399
<v Speaker 1>all went and broke.

186
00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:15.120
<v Speaker 5>Believe.

187
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:16.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's crazy.

188
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:21.079
<v Speaker 2>Vanderbilt, of course, was the train guy back in the day. Anyway,

189
00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:24.199
<v Speaker 2>as I said, Anderson Cooper busied night last night covering

190
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:26.879
<v Speaker 2>the election stuff. One of your reporter brethren. Mm hmmm,

191
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:33.200
<v Speaker 2>uh has zero formal journalism training none. What had no

192
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:34.960
<v Speaker 2>journalism training at all?

193
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:37.080
<v Speaker 1>What is it? What did he go to school for?

194
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:41.480
<v Speaker 1>He got his degree in political science from Yale. Okay,

195
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:43.080
<v Speaker 1>well that's nothing to sneeze at.

196
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:48.120
<v Speaker 2>And did his summer internships at the CIA.

197
00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:52.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh he's instantly more interesting to me now, Not that

198
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:55.080
<v Speaker 3>I didn't think he was interesting before, but the CIA.

199
00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:59.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I love that he's clearly recruited by the CIA.

200
00:08:59.240 --> 00:08:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Could have been a spoon.

201
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Do you want to work for the CIA?

202
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:04.960
<v Speaker 2>To my dad, call all the spies spook books, boy,

203
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:07.679
<v Speaker 2>Bogie's bad guys, and they're good guys.

204
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:08.240
<v Speaker 1>I guess too.

205
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:10.639
<v Speaker 2>But Anderson Cooper, I like him, but he always looks

206
00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:12.320
<v Speaker 2>like he has to have a bowel movement.

207
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Look on his face, like he's really gonna go potty.

208
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:16.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that at all.

209
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:19.720
<v Speaker 3>Is beautiful, blue eyes is always perfectly combed hair.

210
00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:22.399
<v Speaker 1>He's a smart dude. Yeah, he's very smart. He went to.

211
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Yale and don't let dummies in there, don't. Well, they

221
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:55.159
<v Speaker 2>here yesterday, here is a little bit of the JB

222
00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:58.559
<v Speaker 2>and Sandy hour from yesterday. So before the show, we

223
00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:01.840
<v Speaker 2>were just kind of chatting and stuff, and somehow obituaries

224
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:02.679
<v Speaker 2>came up.

225
00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:03.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

226
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:05.240
<v Speaker 2>I think what JB was talking about his time when

227
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:07.679
<v Speaker 2>you were working at the Statesman and people would call

228
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:09.159
<v Speaker 2>in their obituaries or something.

229
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:13.120
<v Speaker 5>There's somebody there on the weekend. Take an obituary call.

230
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:15.399
<v Speaker 2>Right, And then we talked about how Tricia's mom, my

231
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:19.039
<v Speaker 2>mother in law, is a professional writer, and she's oftentimes

232
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:22.480
<v Speaker 2>asked my friends and family stuff to write obituaries, you know.

233
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:25.000
<v Speaker 2>And then we got to thinking, who would you want

234
00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:29.360
<v Speaker 2>if you could pick to write your obituary? Is that

235
00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:31.879
<v Speaker 2>something you can do? Even do like if when I

236
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:34.320
<v Speaker 2>put that my will, like JB's got all my passwords

237
00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:37.639
<v Speaker 2>and stuff to my computer and my phone and everything

238
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:39.919
<v Speaker 2>to clean that out before my kid gets to it.

239
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:42.000
<v Speaker 2>A bunch of stuff in there she didn't need to

240
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:44.600
<v Speaker 2>know about. Or yeah, I don't need you to know

241
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:47.720
<v Speaker 2>about either. But sometimes you find people and find things

242
00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:49.759
<v Speaker 2>when people die. We had a friend she had something

243
00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:53.480
<v Speaker 2>in her nightstand we were shocked, and she.

244
00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:56.360
<v Speaker 3>Had given she had given clear instructions to our other

245
00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:00.519
<v Speaker 3>friend to go in and get it out. What age

246
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:02.360
<v Speaker 3>you are, that's a worry.

247
00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:04.440
<v Speaker 1>So who would you? I'll go first.

248
00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:06.879
<v Speaker 2>If you could pick the person to write your obituary,

249
00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:08.120
<v Speaker 2>you know who I would want it to be.

250
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:10.879
<v Speaker 1>You might not find this as a surprise. I want

251
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:14.480
<v Speaker 1>JB to write it. Oh lord, it would be funny

252
00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:15.759
<v Speaker 1>because it would be clever.

253
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.639
<v Speaker 5>It wouldn't be the normal obituary room he walked into.

254
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I would. I could do that, but I would

255
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:27.879
<v Speaker 1>agonize over it. Yeah you know what I mean? Yeah,

256
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:31.279
<v Speaker 1>because I I mean, but you're a great writer, JB.

257
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:33.840
<v Speaker 5>You could do it, but I've I've I've worked in

258
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:38.399
<v Speaker 5>every medium out there, much like you. But writing is

259
00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:43.519
<v Speaker 5>the hardest one because it's so concrete. With with radio,

260
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:48.120
<v Speaker 5>you can go. I didn't say that. It's so easy

261
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:52.200
<v Speaker 5>to deny if you have a flub, but something written

262
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:53.279
<v Speaker 5>is so permanent.

263
00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:56.639
<v Speaker 1>It's just dan if it's an obituary and obituates the

264
00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:58.879
<v Speaker 1>final say about this person.

265
00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:03.919
<v Speaker 5>I was asked to eulogize my grandmother and it was

266
00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:06.080
<v Speaker 5>just so painful.

267
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:08.720
<v Speaker 1>I it was wonderful to do and honorable to do,

268
00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:13.759
<v Speaker 1>but you're done with it. You're just not satisfied. You're like,

269
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:15.559
<v Speaker 1>that could have been better, that could have been better.

270
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:18.799
<v Speaker 2>And I remember I've done a couple of eulogies as well,

271
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:21.000
<v Speaker 2>and I don't remember what I said.

272
00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:24.559
<v Speaker 1>I honestly do not. It just like went away.

273
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:26.600
<v Speaker 2>But I know people came up to me afterwards and

274
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:29.519
<v Speaker 2>said that was great, But I honestly, I just don't remember.

275
00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, you're very good in public speaking. I'm better.

276
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:35.960
<v Speaker 5>I'd be more comfortable doing something written and handing it

277
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:40.799
<v Speaker 5>over than presenting it. God me too, You're better at presenting.

278
00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:45.000
<v Speaker 5>And right you write it, I'll say it. Yeah, Tricia,

279
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:46.720
<v Speaker 5>Who's gonna who would write euro obituary?

280
00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:50.279
<v Speaker 1>It'd be my best friend Sean. She did the toast.

281
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:52.480
<v Speaker 3>She was my maid of honor at our wedding and

282
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:55.600
<v Speaker 3>she did the toast, and I just remember, again, I

283
00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:59.200
<v Speaker 3>want it because she knows me better than anybody. She's funny,

284
00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:02.639
<v Speaker 3>she's a great writer. People would laugh and not cry.

285
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:05.960
<v Speaker 3>And I just remember the whole our whole wedding party,

286
00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:09.600
<v Speaker 3>the whole wedding, all the guests just rolling with laughter

287
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:12.000
<v Speaker 3>when she did her toast. Because I can't remember what

288
00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:15.679
<v Speaker 3>it was, but it was classic Sean funny and I

289
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:16.159
<v Speaker 3>loved it.

290
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:20.080
<v Speaker 1>So she's it would be seanb how about you, Well,

291
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:20.639
<v Speaker 1>it's funny.

292
00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:22.840
<v Speaker 5>I have two things in mind if I'm on my

293
00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:25.799
<v Speaker 5>deathbed and someone's going to do one to me while

294
00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:30.679
<v Speaker 5>I'm still alive. My friend Larry from high school, because

295
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:35.840
<v Speaker 5>he remembers and all these stories from high school and

296
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:37.360
<v Speaker 5>I have zero recollection of her.

297
00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:41.000
<v Speaker 1>He's your historian of your of your friends group. I

298
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:43.559
<v Speaker 1>don't remember. I bust it. I just I did not

299
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:46.120
<v Speaker 1>enjoy high school. I just kind of blocked it all out.

300
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:49.039
<v Speaker 5>I just just trudged through it, couldn't wait to get

301
00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:51.600
<v Speaker 5>out of there. And so he'll tell me stories and

302
00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:54.039
<v Speaker 5>I don't have any reason to believe he's making it up.

303
00:13:54.960 --> 00:14:00.559
<v Speaker 5>And I really like that's outrageous. How old is it possible?

304
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:06.440
<v Speaker 5>I don't remember that, Like, he told me a story.

305
00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:08.639
<v Speaker 5>I'll be quick with this. He told me a story.

306
00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:13.159
<v Speaker 5>But we were in like heart ease or something, and

307
00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:15.519
<v Speaker 5>we were always dressed like idiots. We were always working

308
00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:18.960
<v Speaker 5>on cars, hot rides, or we were probably wearing cross

309
00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:22.600
<v Speaker 5>country running gear, which is back then was really short

310
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:28.679
<v Speaker 5>shorts and singlet tank tops and these. There was a

311
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.039
<v Speaker 5>whole group of thugs that were just you could tell

312
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:33.840
<v Speaker 5>they were just laughing and poking front of us at us.

313
00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:38.120
<v Speaker 5>And then I noticed they went and sat down with

314
00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:43.440
<v Speaker 5>their food, and the person driving left their whole wat

315
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:47.039
<v Speaker 5>of keys on the counter by the register. So I

316
00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:53.519
<v Speaker 5>just was like, Larry, come with me. I didn't remember

317
00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:55.279
<v Speaker 5>the story, but this is how he told it to me.

318
00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:59.440
<v Speaker 5>And so we went outside and waited in his mustang

319
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:02.799
<v Speaker 5>for these people to start coming around looking for their.

320
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:07.120
<v Speaker 2>Keys, and Larry's bustay, yeah, okay, okay.

321
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:09.360
<v Speaker 5>And so these people who had been laughing at us

322
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:13.159
<v Speaker 5>all evening when we see him outside just stuck and

323
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:16.639
<v Speaker 5>looking around and the grass and everything, we roll up

324
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:17.840
<v Speaker 5>and we were like looking.

325
00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:18.279
<v Speaker 1>For these.

326
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:25.600
<v Speaker 5>And then floored it and threw them into a field somewhere.

327
00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:33.240
<v Speaker 5>But okay, more of an honest answer is I would

328
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:37.600
<v Speaker 5>be honored if Michael Barnes from The Statesman.

329
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:40.440
<v Speaker 1>And he doesn't do that.

330
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:44.799
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and he but you know, he's he's written most

331
00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:47.799
<v Speaker 5>of the Austin history stuff over the last forty years.

332
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:50.720
<v Speaker 5>And we did a podcast together for a few years

333
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:53.240
<v Speaker 5>called Austin Found Telling Short Histories.

334
00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:54.559
<v Speaker 1>I enjoyed it.

335
00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:59.679
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and he he quite often does eulogies, especially of

336
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:02.759
<v Speaker 5>that I'm a prominent Austin Kite, but prominent Austinites. And

337
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:04.279
<v Speaker 5>I asked him about it once. I said, do you

338
00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:07.600
<v Speaker 5>enjoy doing those? He's like, I love it, you know.

339
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:10.799
<v Speaker 5>I get together with the family and friends and family

340
00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:14.120
<v Speaker 5>and collect their stories and just you know, he's just

341
00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:17.000
<v Speaker 5>a true true journalist in a world where we don't

342
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:19.360
<v Speaker 5>have many of those left. Yeah, And he's like, I

343
00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:21.600
<v Speaker 5>just want to leave them, you know, something special for

344
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:22.039
<v Speaker 5>their family.

345
00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:26.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm paraphraser, but it's just like he's a professional.

346
00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:28.759
<v Speaker 2>Right, and he gets to the media, he gets the

347
00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:31.320
<v Speaker 2>story from the family and then he puts it into

348
00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:33.320
<v Speaker 2>something that they're going to have forever.

349
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:33.919
<v Speaker 1>Right.

350
00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's interesting, Michael Barnes. Better put him on notice.

351
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:38.639
<v Speaker 2>Let him know now.

352
00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:42.600
<v Speaker 1>He still walk everywhere, Yeah, which is why you'll probably

353
00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:43.080
<v Speaker 1>outlive me.

354
00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:46.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's true. He walks down Congress. You'll see him

355
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:49.159
<v Speaker 5>every day, and he picks up trash every day.

356
00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:53.879
<v Speaker 1>Really, Yeah, I see a guy Austin treasure, this guy.

357
00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:56.440
<v Speaker 1>And it's funny.

358
00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:59.000
<v Speaker 5>I told him once, I said, it's it's interesting Michael,

359
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:00.720
<v Speaker 5>that you walk every day with you know, with the

360
00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:03.559
<v Speaker 5>little claw to pick up trash. Yeah, I said. Two

361
00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:06.839
<v Speaker 5>of my other favorite writers do the same thing. They

362
00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:11.640
<v Speaker 5>do long walks and pick up trash. Michael Barry, No,

363
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:16.200
<v Speaker 5>you're thinking of Berry, Dave Berry. But David Sedaris does

364
00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:19.319
<v Speaker 5>that to France. He lives in France and walks and

365
00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:24.240
<v Speaker 5>picks up trash. And Stephen King does that. Really he

366
00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:26.480
<v Speaker 5>got hit. He had a bad car. He got hit

367
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:28.279
<v Speaker 5>doing it once because he would walk on the side

368
00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:29.359
<v Speaker 5>of the highway.

369
00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:32.799
<v Speaker 1>Accident once. But anyhow, that's.

370
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Precily a guy all the time at one eighty three

371
00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:38.880
<v Speaker 2>and Nick Neil that's walking and picking up trash. But

372
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:40.839
<v Speaker 2>he looks like he's a homeless guy. I don't know

373
00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:43.039
<v Speaker 2>if he is or not, or if you know. I

374
00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:44.759
<v Speaker 2>thought when I first saw him, he was like, you know,

375
00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:47.759
<v Speaker 2>doing community service hours. You know that the judge gave

376
00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:49.759
<v Speaker 2>us what they do. That's just what he does. He

377
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:52.039
<v Speaker 2>keeps that whole side of one eighty three clean. God

378
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:55.440
<v Speaker 2>knows there's enough people out there making it dirty. I oh,

379
00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:56.799
<v Speaker 2>I hate seeing people litter.

380
00:17:57.119 --> 00:17:59.680
<v Speaker 1>You don't see it very I know, you really don't

381
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:00.079
<v Speaker 1>see it.

382
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:03.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, very often, but when you do, it's just even

383
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:05.799
<v Speaker 2>it's just a cigarette.

384
00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:07.960
<v Speaker 1>That makes me mad. It's like the world is not

385
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:08.759
<v Speaker 1>your ashtray.

386
00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:09.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

387
00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:11.480
<v Speaker 1>I was behind a service van.

388
00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:13.480
<v Speaker 3>This was years ago when we lived out on the

389
00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:17.960
<v Speaker 3>lake and I was following behind them and they threw

390
00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:20.400
<v Speaker 3>two what a burger bags out the window on the

391
00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:23.599
<v Speaker 3>side of the road. I was outraged, but the phone

392
00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:27.000
<v Speaker 3>number to their company was painted on their van, so

393
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:29.920
<v Speaker 3>while I was behind them, I called and I was like, so,

394
00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:32.920
<v Speaker 3>two guys in one of your vans. I gave them

395
00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:34.759
<v Speaker 3>like the number of the van and I told them

396
00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:35.839
<v Speaker 3>what I just saw them do.

397
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:38.200
<v Speaker 1>And we followed them and I pulled up next to

398
00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:38.799
<v Speaker 1>him at the light.

399
00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:41.160
<v Speaker 3>The lady must have said, there's a lady behind you

400
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:43.119
<v Speaker 3>that's reporting you, and they looked at me and I

401
00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:46.440
<v Speaker 3>just made at him and I was just like, not cool.

402
00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:49.000
<v Speaker 1>And you can say good night to this one.
