Welcome to Stuff You Should Know from Howstuffworks.com.
Josh Clark
Hey, and welcome to the podcast. I’m Josh Clark. With me is Charles Precious Bryant. How are you doing, Precious?
Chuck Bryant
This is the podcast based on the novel Push by Sapphire.
Josh Clark
Yeah, that is absolutely right; word for word, right?
Chuck Bryant
Jerri just got mad because you did a spoiler for Precious.
Josh Clark
I’m known for spoilers, aren’t I, at least two.
Chuck Bryant
E.T. phone home.
Josh Clark
No, there was Six Feet Under, and there was another one I spoiled too, wasn’t there?
Chuck Bryant
Yeah, there was one you spoiled that was a really old movie, and I was like, come on, that movie’s 15 years old; there’s a statute of limitations.
Josh Clark
Yeah, what was it, Buckaroo Bonsai?
Chuck Bryant
Yeah, I think that was it.
Josh Clark
Yeah, me too. Chuck?
Chuck Bryant
Yes?
Josh Clark
Have you ever been in traffic? That’s the best I got. How do you set this up? Chuck, do you like Steve Winwood?
Chuck Bryant
Yeah, I was gonna make a Traffic, the band, comment.
Josh Clark
Have you ever seen The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys?
Chuck Bryant
Yeah.
Josh Clark
Yeah? That’s it? Seriously, I’m trying to fix this opening.
Chuck Bryant
Traffic, you know he was like 16 or 15 when he first joined Traffic?
Josh Clark
Is that right?
Chuck Bryant
Steve Winwood, yeah.
Josh Clark
That guy is a Lothario, and by that, I mean a prodigy.
Chuck Bryant
Yeah, traffic, I’ve been in traffic, buddy. You?
Josh Clark
Yes, I have actually been in traffic. It happens a lot because I don’t ride MARTA. You ride our fine, fine crippled public transit system here in Atlanta, don’t you?
Chuck Bryant
I’m never in traffic anymore. It’s really been a huge difference in my life.
Josh Clark
I don’t ride MARTA because I usually tend to avoid the smell of urine, and reading while moving makes me sick, so I’m, you know, plus I value -
I used to value being able to smoke.
Chuck Bryant
Yeah, dude, I was just about to say, that’s why you used to drive.
Josh Clark
Yeah, and now I do it just out of habit. I get caught in traffic a lot and it stinks.
Chuck Bryant
I don’t see you on a public transport. You’re not that kind of social.
Josh Clark
No. That’s the other thing, too. It’s like, oh, hey, we work together, let’s talk the whole time.
Chuck Bryant
No, I wear my sunglasses. It could be dark and raining, and I’ve told everyone here that if I have my shades on, that means the office is closed.
