Duality (with Brian Huskey)

of This is Americans Live. I Guess and now your first random sentence. Kangarosages rabbits on steroids. That's what genealogists were claiming, Not that they had any background and rabbit genealogy, but they were taking a stab at it and this is the outcome that they came up with. A lot of people were critical of using a sort of like common phrase like on steroids, right that that that kind of approach loss system little credibility as far as like

getting the work published. But once we did establish that yes, kangaroos were indeed like rabbits on steroids, we went back and we worked with some different scientists who focus on laga morphs, which we all know our rabbits. Everyone. You had a harder time getting people on your side because in your first article you said, why a rabbits choosing? And it's not carrots. Yes, we were taking an attempt

at humor, right, which is not what our strong suit is. No. No, we spent the first three months just trying to come up with some humorous approach to the to the study. And we don't really have a vast knowledge of drugs in general. So that's why everything is steroids. I mean, I don't even know what else is out there for Well, someone else said that maybe it's on cocaine, or maybe it's one. I don't think you've pronounced that first one cocaine.

Oh yes, yes, right, cocaine, not not cocaine, which is the ingredient in coca cola. A lot of people don't know that. They keep going on and on about the pronunciation of cocaine, really focusing on the little rabbit in the room, the fact that they were trying to start a whole new science that didn't even exist. Well, I

think an honor is clearly a weasel on steroids. Yeah, and a and a giraffe is a horse on steroids, and a rat is a mouse, several mice actually on steroid wearing a rat suit, and a man is a fish. Over millions and millions years of using steroids, you think maybe the fact that both you guys lost your jobs at the big major dab. He's just trying to find a way to make money by creating studies or studying things that nobody really cares about, because he's trying to

make an income. That question was like a statement on steroids. It really did feel like an indictment of our dignity on steroids. Is this is American's life? I mean sorry?

Oh what why taste good? Hello? Agent special agent Berry? Hey Berry, you might have gotten a confusing okay, a note recently. I just want to kind of clear it up a little bit for you. Oh yeah, Actually I thought this was a message from a Mexican cartel saying that I was going to go

down like it's very concerned about it. If you get a bouquet for a King Sania and you're a male, especially the adult male like me, Oh, that's like your head on a tortoise. You know what I mean, your head out of the tortoise, which is a turtle on steroids by the way, something it's a breaking bad reference. Oh yeah, with the toga. Are you saying you sent this to me? I honestly, Berry, full disclosure, I really didn't know the key Sania flower boukay thing meant that

you're going to die. Hey, I didn't mean to do that. Frankly, I'm glad they were sent to you because if they would have been sent to the phone line started scrambling, Thomas gonna get his film message to Barry. Barry started piecing it together, realized Thomas must be the head of a cartail that Thomas immediately went to his buzzes and Pat Thomas is the top five wanted man. Come again you be Berry put him as the head of the top five. You said Thomas did it. You said that Thomas.

Let me just get this studies shade. I know what I'm doing. I'm I'm the fucking notes of the show. All right, I'm a big fan. Thank you. I don't even anything since the first episode to one about the guy made his own pants. We actually have that episode, the first episode of pants episode one. Yeah, I think guy made his down pants. Guys, yeah, Robin, coming on, even women has to have pants. While you're making a pair of pants, and you always have a pair of pants.

Are you're wearing that? You should say that because I have her to me on it. Trely every one of these non days, I can make my old pants. You've been watching me. At this point, the show had gone off the alse he tryed to degree it. Barry got behind the board and he started narrating it, and he was trying to establish that Okay, he knew that Thomas was head of the cartel because of the mistake, but the host are he said it wrong the first time, and it took a way too long to explain that situation.

A quick question. We're gonna get to hear me take the survey for the flower, I was kind of looking forward to anything else. I don't even know how you got to this predicament. Thank you so much for using one, Flowers. We'd love to have your feedback. If you're highly ecstatically appreciative of the attention that your representative gave you, press one,

two or three. If you're somewhere in the middle where you can't quite decide how you feel about it and maybe need a little more time, try four or five, six, or even seven. If you're vastly disappointed by the experience, any number combination might represent this. From eight two, let's say a thousand should have written that down at any point. If you'd like to leave your response after the tone, do so, right, Flowers. Oh yeah, this is Thomas Um,

I'm leaving a message, he said after the tone. I didn't need to tune, so he said to the sound of the sounder, and it was I heard it for Flowers. Well, I was leaving my review. Cool question, Ari. Will there be a survey at the end of the show and let you know the experience in general. It'll be letter. It comes in the mail bubble dot and then you get to put it back the scanchin is there going to be a survey about the difficulty of complaining that

I love that. Just do it a lot? All right? What are we doing? What we do? We don't even know why? The fun game me. You're thinking about how much time I wasted thinking that I was talking to a flower company and deciding flowers when I realized that I'm taking surveys. I'm talking to agents. I could have just agents agents. What the fund you're talking about? What the funk you're talking about? No? No, no agents that that work at customer service, not every agent. Oh oh

you mean, like like what we are? What do you think? I have some kind of a rat mice on steroid in a rat suit. They think I'm a rat. I repeat, they think I'm a rat Berry Berry. If you could hear that, I think I'm a rat Berry special Agent, Barry, Yeah, Berry Mary. I was saying it into my lapel, and I'm saying it in piece. I'm getting feedback. Can you turn one of them?

What I went to my nieces key sing here.

They had a painting body body body painting everything. Everybody tattoos and I had that congratulations to your niece, by the way, thank you. I don't know your niece. Yeah right. I think you'd be very strange if you knew her niece. I know, I felt it very odd that you knew mine. And now of a sudden you're like, oh, do you hang out with my niece? Were you? I just thought maybe nieces hung out with other nieces. Maybe you guys would come into contact like a nice club. My eyes,

he's wearing a wire. I see how you could come to the conclusion that because I am wearing something that looks exactly like the wires at the FEDS issue to their informants, and that I was talking into my temporary tattoo, I can see how you would think that I was an informant. Give me that wire, Give it to me. Who am I talking to? Oh? Hey, wire, very tell about it? Can everybody hear me? Yeah? Barry on speaker? Did tattoo on speaker? I want to talk to Barry?

Who are you? I got that part stupid. I'm I'm a special agent for chocolate. They're trying to send you some chocolates because you've been such a good criminal criminals? Um, would you like to take a survey? Agent? Berry added, point to his boss in Quantico to tell him what happened to poor Thomas who disappeared. Barry, I'm going over all of us. It's quite a case. Can you break this down in like the simplest, easily consumable, easily listenable

for both of us in terms? Please? It seems that this guy Thomas was a little over his head and he was working with criminals, and he didn't work out what his story was going to be before he went into it. And then you just sort of make snapped his decisions and step away, and then he wouldn't think of what to say once he came back, and so it was almost like a football he's kicking down the field trying to pick it up. It's like a quality epilogue.

So your process is fascinated coming up back to the first the word from our esteemed sponsors stay with us act to the interview, especially guests contributed by Nusky. How are you today? Oh, I'm very good. Thanks for having me. I'm I've only been listening to the show. I you know, I came to it maybe about halfway through your run. You know, I had some people also recommend it to me.

I always trust sort of word of mouth and um, and these people were you know, really sort of tapped into a lot of zeitgeists podcasts and then so I really felt like that's, uh, that spoke to me. I'm doing it for a long time. Yeah, and and for me to go back and sort of go find all

these archives. It's also a time capsule, you know, like you're focusing on the first cell phone and you know, yeah, and then sort of you know when when small inspection stations closed down like these big moments in society that the shifts, we actually have that small inspections one. I've always been there yet, but we have that in the archives that when the small ye such as such as a family runs small inspection empire, when that goes down,

that I mean, it's heartbreaking, it's really heartbreaking. Any it's number inspection house, uh, any chain of different small inspections across the Houston Metroplex area shut down for really two days. People who needed to get their cars inspected and you know the status of the smack of their own cars. We're just sitting there with their pockets in their hands. Yea. We have had this our family for must have been three years now have three three years and nine months

this Tuesday. Yeah, we don't want to Yeah we want to say four years, but it's not four years yet. But we will be in two months in one week. Yeah, but we didn't want to say that it was four years because we know you're a journalist and we don't want to be any gotcha journalism. If we want, we want to be factual for you, and also we want to be factual about we're closing down, but not for

any kind of criminal reasons. We really want to emphasize that. Yeah, which are we're gonna divolte to people, Well, you just say any closed down, We'll divulge all the reasons why, all the reasons that are not reasons why we closed down. Like will say, like we did not close down because for criminal reason. Yeah, well, we did not close down because theft or future arson like if that, if that happens in the future. We did not burn it for insurance money purposes because it got to be too much

not having place open very long. We got mouse to feed. We did not try to cash in. I burned the place down. We do not have a gambling problem that is currently up ending our existence.

It takes a lot of energy, right, And I broke my toe because I kicked the wall after my car was broken into for the seventh time, and um, subways uh started to make me sad so uh And there was no more work there. All the work was out. Now what I was gonna say, there's no more work in New York? All right? What kind of work do you do? I've bet to get there? Really seem to take a while. Was that the kind of look, Oh, I'm an actor and a writer, mainline actor.

Have I seen you and stuff? I don't know what you watch. I watch all kinds of stuff. I watch a lot of old old movies in the nineteen eighties. Yeah, I mean I'm in most of those. Tell us about what you've been working on? Now these days I feel stop hearing record. Do we have let me step recluding? Okay, so when we're in this part, do I sort of talk about the reality, like the harsh reality we've all been through with a COVID and stuff, or do I

steer away from that? Well, I would say, like, well, the past year and a half, I haven't really been doing much I've had my own podcasts and stuff. But I got a podcast called bald Talk on. We'll talk about that. Yeah, and and then, um, I've been auditioning. I did some commercials. I do voices for Bob's Burgers. Do that. We'll talk about that.

I don't need the question, I'll just say, okay, three to one. I have a podcast called Bald Talk. It's myself and Charlie Sanders. Uh, two bald comedians interview bald everybody. We've had actors, directors, musicians,

wig makers. We just interviewed them about being bald, and then it kind of goes from there into their creative work and their insecurities and sort of the idea of like vanity and perception and stuff. Are there any things that you discovered that you didn't know of other people's perspectives on being bald? The big takeaway is that, uh, it's always a bigger hang up for you than anybody else in the whole world, and especially if you have a hang up about dating. Women do not give a

f They really don't. So take that away. If you're if you're listening and you're bald, it's fine, it's totally fine. Well, thank you guys. Yeah, you're welcome. You use you want to leave.

by zero stars, guys, contributed by Husky. Thank you so much for this opportunity. Yeah, coming up at three, but first the word from our sponsors who make this high quality program possible. Stay with us at three. Well, all her friends were positive that Mary had a sixth sense. She knew that she had a seventh sense. It was a tingling sense kind of helped her see things in a different dimension. He was a new kind of psychic. You know what, I think you have what I like

to call a SA And since are you serious? I do? I am? I do in serious? You do in seriously? See I doing serious? All day long and then the rest of the day at the night time. I've had so many people say that there's something about me that I have an energy that they can really that radiates. And my new My mama, My mama had this special ability. She knew, she knew and the milk was about to go bad. She knew it before it happened. She wouldn't even look at the date. She's just say, milk gone bad,

and sure enough we wouldn't drink it. Wait a second, but your mama was the milking bad lady. Yeah, she was the milks here she was, She's the milks here. Oh my god, I didn't know that I was amongst the royalties. Stop yah, stop, you're making me blush. I wrote my college thesis on your mother. Are you serious? Just dead on the milks here? I didn't know that her reach is that fas was. Excuse me, it is all right, and milks here. I've been seeing the future

of milk since the early nineties. It was very popular N six number. She'd put on commercials that would air at late time at night. You feel like your milks mak go bad am, Well, let me hold the cart and now, sweetheart, you got another week of milk on that one. O't thank you so much that I had to leave you with this. What if this milk is left towards the front of the fridge, away from the ventilation that cools it, you're gonna have half a day left, and if you want a full week, you gotta put

it towards the back. If you do not hear my words, you'll have six and a half days of milk. She wasn't the only one who had a future knowing of dairy products. There was also the cheese here. Let's see the thing with the cheese. As you what if you got Tuesday. Just tell me Tuesday, Tuesday, what Tuesdays want. It's gonna go back, so we can't have Tuesday. Yeah, after Tuesday youet done with it. And I'm not understanding what's so confusing about this. We just bought this cheese,

just bought it. We just bought this cheese. Was like something that you might want to take up with the customer service at the grocery store where you bought it, because they should probably should not be selling cheese that is so close to his expiration date. So so so after Tuesday it's done. Yes, after Tuesday has done, is there any way to make it? Preserve it? The milk lady used to tell us where to put the milk in? Where do we put What you want for me? What

do you want from me? I don't know that cheese. That's the date. Eat the cheese, don't eat the cheese. What do you want? What do you want? You know what? You're expecting a little bit more out of me than I'm willing to give to you. He was an accidental medium, didn't really want to have his job. He would just bring Blacks the cheese to him and he would just begredge and eat tell him when it was going to go bad. He just always pissed about it. I don't

know the date on this. Gorgon Sella clearly says in two weeks. So what what? What else are you wanting me to do? I can read the date, okay. I want to know, much like the milk's here, what the essence of the cheese? When the essence will pass? I don't know. Open it up, smell it what? I don't understand how we drove twelve hours for this? He's right, smell it. I don't like Goregon till let's start with what are we doing? What are we doing with our lives?

I don't know. Even though you just tell people to fuck off, he would just keep coming. I'm not understanding what all of you people want. Look at the cheese, Smell it. If it smells bad, don't eat it. If it's past the date, don't eat it. What is with the line of cars turned around? Dude? I can't do anything more for you. I'm trying to point together on telling tree for my bat and I can't risk it and cheese that's going bad. Don't you fucking see? This is at about my life by the one with the

latest date on it blug. And that's why my mom is sort of faded from popularity because of the cheese guy. He undermined her whole craft and her vision and it was just gone. Is there anything? Is there any kind of food products that you feel like you have you can you can see the future of Is this the job interview? I'm so nervous before I was talking to a young lady who's doing a doctoral piece of my mama. Now,

how did I get in this office? I'm from the Paranormal Investigations Group, and um, I'm sorry I interrupted an interview. It was really rude of me. I apologize. How you chloroformed meat real fast? I didn't know how I ended up in here? Do you feel like you can see the future of other produced by chance? If it'll get me out of this creepy room? Yes, I mean, what do you want for me? I will go undercover for you guys. I do not care. It does not matter. I'll where why. I do not give a ship. I
