Host 3
Nope, I'm hanging around to the end. It's one more thing. Armstrong and Getty One more thing. Couple of Quick things from the most recent vacation and then one from a vac many, many years ago that I was reminded of. So went to Florida, South Beach, Miami, and then drove down to Key west and then went up to New York. Couple of interesting things I saw 1. Did you check out the video yet of the guy riding his bike around with the tire on his head?
- [03:09]
Host 2
I did. That is clearly as described.
- [03:13]
Host 3
It's a guy, a young guy riding a bicycle around with a giant truck tire. He's balancing on his head while he rides it around.
- [03:21]
Host 4
Yeah, that video made my neck hurt.
- [03:23]
Host 3
I can't imagine the skill it would take to be able to do that.
- [03:29]
Host 2
Weaving in and out myself, wondering how. How he decided on that particular stuff.
- [03:34]
Host 3
That was my joke with my kids all along. I kept saying to various people like that we saw, you know, I was going to go to law school, but I decided I'll ride around the park with a tire on my head. You know, that sort of thing.
- [03:45]
Host 4
It would be a real show to have that guy from the Davis Farmers Market that was doing the splits, eating canned eggs with this bike riding guys.
- [03:52]
Host 2
Did this guy decide, you know, what really interests me is balancing truck tires on my head. Perhaps I'll walk, no, jog, no skip, no. Ride a bicycle with a truck tire. Or was it the opposite? Was he like, you know what? I'm really into riding my bike with something on my head. Let's go with a potted plant.
- [04:15]
Host 3
No, no.
- [04:16]
Host 2
How about my pet schnauzer? No, that's not good. How about a truck tire? I mean, I can't even.
- [04:23]
Host 3
My. My kids and I talked about this longer than you would. You would expect. But first of all, he. Most people in the park. This is Washington Square Park, New York, where all the hippies hang out and there's all kinds of performance artists. It's very, very cool. And it's that way all day, every day for the past 60 years, as far as I know. Longer than that, because Kerouac was writing about it in the 40s. So, yeah, more like 80, 90 years. I mean, they're magicians and people with their various poems and writings and stuff, all kinds of stuff. And. But most people have. They're either selling something or they got a, you know, like a hat there you can throw money into because they're singing and playing the guitar. This guy never stopped, like, get money or anything like that. He had a big smile on his face. He seemed to be just doing it for his own amusement. But I was wondering, how do you get. How do you start even if you know how to do it? How do you get on your bike? Do you. I guess you get on your bike with the tire next to you and then you have the strength, because that's a big tire. You have the strength to fling that thing up and balance it on your head before you take off on your bike. I don't even know.
- [05:36]
Host 2
Well, right then you got to mount up on your bike, I think, and hold it with one hand till you get a little momentum going and then the physics kicks in and you can incline your head in such a way, blah, blah, blah. But yeah, what the trial and error had to be, you know, days, weeks long.
- [05:53]
Host 3
And how does this idea come to you? You know, I bet I can take.
- [05:56]
Jacob Goldstein
This wheel and stick it on my head and balance it.
- [05:58]
Host 3
No, you can't. Yes, I can. Next thing you know, you've got a bet.
- [06:01]
Host 4
This is like this guy's thing. I just looked him up and there's a video of him balancing a 45 inch TV on his head while riding a bicycle.
- [06:09]
Host 3
So this is his gotcha. Yeah, that's his. That's his jam. Balancing bigger objects than you would expect on your head while riding a bicycle.
- [06:20]
Host 2
Bicycling.
- [06:21]
Host 3
Yes, other things. So I had to tell this story in the podcast because it's one of those stories that if you don't use the bad word, it's not as good. So we're walking through Key West. We were there, went into the house. We were there for three days. And you ever been to Key West? Duvall's the main drag and that's where all the cool stuff is and very, very entertaining. And so walking back from the restaurant, it's getting a little later. And I didn't do this on purpose. I would have crossed the street had I known otherwise. Just because my 13 year old, he doesn't need to see this. But we walked by a bar where they had drag queen shows going on and there were two enormous drag queens standing out front. I mean, they were in heels, but I mean, without heels, they looked like they were seven feet tall. I mean they were like nine feet tall drag queens. And very attractive for their height if you're into a nine foot tall woman. But. And then handing out little.
- [07:15]
Host 2
Who's a dude?
- [07:17]
Host 3
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Handing out pieces of paper to, you know, coming into the show. Anyway, we walk by, Henry's wide eyed. We get a little further away. He saddles up next to me. He said three questions. What the.
- [07:36]
Host 2
Gender bending madness.
- [07:39]
Host 3
And then finally this story which didn't happen on this trip. It happened on a previous trip to Key West, Mallory Square and Key west on the very far side where you get to see the sunset every night. And they have a sunset festival and this has been going on since Hemingway was writing about it when you had to get there by boat. So this has been like at least 100 years. And they got all kinds of performance artists there too. And it's very entertaining and jugglers and music and frisbees and just all kinds of stuff and food and it's very cool. And it's every night, 365 days a year unless a hurricane blows everybody away.

Host 3
But the last time Joe's heard this story numerous times, but you haven't heard it straight. Katie so I'll tell it again. My kids love this story. I saw a, an escape artist there 30 years ago and Gladys, if he could play the harp. So he, so it's crowded. It's like probably like 8 o'. Clock. The sun hasn't set yet, but people are already gathered and he's gonna, he, he has people around, chain him up. So he's where everybody's gathered around him and you know, you, you young man, here is a chain, wrap it around me however you want, use this lock to lock me up. And he does that with like 15 different people who chain him all up in all these different chains. And people are wrapping it around his legs, in between his legs and around his arms and wrists, you know, trying to come up with a difficult way for him to get out. And, and they do a pretty good job of it. So then they get him all locked up. I will now escape from this, you know, from my chains. And he starts it and it is very slow moving, very slow moving over time. I mean he just, he's like wriggling his shoulders and like trying to move his legs and adjust his head and he's got these chains all around his neck in between his. And, and then he lays down and he's trying to, I mean, and this, the total time on this that I was there two and a half hours. Oh my God. Oh, I stayed there for two and a half hours long after everybody else had left because people were like, there's no entertainment here and there's a guy juggling flaming axes over there. So I think I'll go watch it. And the sun sets, you know, so the sun is set. The other performance artists are starting to go away. And he's laying in his chains on the ground all sweaty. And I just. I mean, this is back when I still drank too, and I got a couple of beers, so I thought, I'm just. I want to see how this plays out. I mean, does he just. Because most people would throw a few bucks in the basket. And I was kind of wondering, does he just, like, not get out and a friend has to come let him out, but he makes his money? Is that the trick or. No, He. He was getting some of the chains off of him. He had this way of wriggling and everything like that. His body. And like, he'd get a chain to Dr. And then another chain. He. Toward the end at some point, and he's just covered in sweat, and he's making all these horrible noises as he lays there trying to get the chains to fall off of him. And he would stand for a while, then he would sit and he'd get in a different position. He dislocated his shoulder. Somehow he got his shoulder out of the joint. You could see the ball slide down. And then he was able to let. Then he was able to let the chains slide off of his shoulder. And then he kind of ducked his head underneath one chain. Anyway, at one point, he starts vomiting. He's laying there on the.
- [14:01]
Host 2
This is a great act, honey. Trust me. Let's stick with it.
- [14:05]
Host 3
He's laying there on the hot asphalt in his shorts and tank top, covered in chains and sweat, his shoulder out of whack. And he's vomiting. He's just laying there. I am not kidding at all. I'm the only person left at this point. It's just me and some, like, street people. And he's vomiting. And then he gets the other chain off his head. And then at some point, he gets them all to drop off. And then he just sits there on the ground, like, breathing hard. He's got vomit in his beard, and he's not looking at anybody. He doesn't look pleased. He doesn't say, ta da. He doesn't. There's none of that. He just. He looks miserable. And I put a $10 bill in his basket, and I saw that was really, really amazing, dude. And I walk off, and that's. Wow.
- [14:58]
Host 2
I mean, it was as if he was actually abducted and chained up and his abductors had gone off to do something else nefarious. And while they Were gone. He. Over the course of hours, blah, blah, blah. But indeed, he did all that voluntarily.
- [15:12]
Host 3
I don't know if that was the first time he'd ever tried it and he thought, that took longer than I expected, or, wow, that was really hard. Or if people just did a better job of chaining him up than usual. Surely every night, dude, you don't lay there, dislocate body parts and vomit so that you can make a couple hundred, I don't know, maybe go back and get a degree in something.
- [15:35]
Host 2
Were you flying solo on that vacation? Yeah, you had to be, because, I mean, there's not a woman I've ever known who would have stuck it out.
- [15:44]
Host 3
No, no, no. Hell, no, no. That's funny. I flew in a girlfriend at the time, and she was coming in the next night, and I remember thinking the same thing. I would have missed that if I'd have been with her. She said, let's leave. I wouldn't have been able to stand there for two and a half hours. And this is pre. Way. Pre cell phones and stuff. Or there would be, you know, tons of videos of this. God dang it. That was entertaining. You know, I've always wondered whatever became of that guy? Like, did he die one night doing that, or did he keep doing it? Or did he just change up somewhere? He decided to become a realtor. He's changed.
- [16:12]
Host 2
Assistant manager at the local Herz. Rent a card.
- [16:14]
Host 3
Yeah, right. Oh, my God.
- [16:16]
Host 2
There's just some bones surrounded by chains, you know, under a palm tree in the.
- [16:22]
Host 3
Oh, that was the most entertaining thing. Very slowly unfolding slowly that I ever saw in my life. I'm picturing you standing up at the.
- [16:27]
Jacob Goldstein
Very end and just giving him a.
- [16:28]
Host 3
Slow clap, like, good job, dude. He looked so despondent, like, what have I decided to do with my life?
- [16:36]
Host 2
You know, I hate to take this in a different direction because it's been charming, but I've often reassured myself or told other people that, you know, up to a certain point, obviously, the worst the experience, the better the story.
- [16:50]
Host 3
Yeah.
- [16:51]
Host 2
I mean, all right, if you lose a leg, then maybe not so much, but you know what I mean? So if that guy had quickly eluded his chains, or after an hour so or 45 minutes and there are five, six people clapping, it would be a very mundane story. It was the very misery of it that made it good for you, too. I mean, because you had to, at some point be thinking, I really ought to go.
- [17:21]
Host 3
Right, Right. I did have the. Is there going to be a payoff that's even close to worth how long I've been standing here.
- [17:28]
Host 2
I think opposite of the concept of some sunk costs. Yeah, you thought, no, no, I have sunk those costs. I am going to sink more. I'm going to sink as much as it takes.
- [17:39]
Host 3
Inebriation helped because I was able to keep drinking because there's places selling beer. So I just hung around and watched. I mean, they're, they're like some of the street performers. This is a popular thing now. I talked about this when I saw these in Vegas. The guys who jump over people, they're like acrobats practically. And they get three people in the middle and then this guy comes running really fast and he jumps and does a flip over the top of him. And I've now seen it three different places. I wouldn't have known there were that many people in the country that could even do that. Does every town have a guy who can run and jump over people and do a flip and land on his feet on the pavement? Maybe. I don't know.
- [18:17]
Host 2
It's. It's like American Idol showed us that there's like five incredible singers in every town in America, apparently.
- [18:24]
Host 3
Yeah, so.
- [18:24]
Host 2
Right, exactly. So same thing. Thing with leaping over people, as it turns out. And you got just as much of a prospect of making a living at it as does the local singer.
- [18:34]
Host 3
Right.
- [18:35]
Host 4
You're looking for some entertainment. The video videos of them missing the jump over people. Quite entertaining.
- [18:41]
Host 3
I was gonna say that.
- [18:42]
Host 2
Isn't that part of the act, Jack? I remember.
- [18:46]
Host 3
See anybody, miss? No, but it's, it's extraordinary. I mean, it's, it was impressive. I've seen it a couple times now. They run so fast. And the degree of difficulty because you're landing on pavement at that speed.
- [18:59]
Host 2
Yeah.
- [18:59]
Host 3
Oh, my God. If you don't time that right, I suppose you decide you can't do that anymore. The first time you crash and think, well, I guess I'm done with this line of work for now.
- [19:09]
Host 2
Wow, I could no more flap my wings and fly and do that at any point in my life.
- [19:15]
Host 3
I have not seen another person escape from chains while vomiting and dislocating bones before, though that I've not seen anywhere else. Yes, right.
- [19:23]
Host 2
An innovator, a visionary.
- [19:28]
Host 3
Well, I guess that's it.
