Episode: Thursday Afternoon Monday Morning Podcast 4-23-20

The podcast host described the book as being about five Chinese brothers, each with a supernatural power. One brother could swallow the ocean, and the host explained a scene where the brother swallowed the ocean to help a fisherman catch fish, but then the fisherman was too greedy and didn't return when the brother started waving his arms to signal he couldn't hold the ocean anymore and spat it back out, drowning the fisherman.

"

Do you know what book I want to buy my daughter that I keep telling my wife that it's a real book and she refuses to believe me is The Five Chinese Brothers and

If I remember correctly, it was it was about this kid. I know I've talked about this before but what the fuck do you want? for me they had Those these five five Chinese brothers, right and each one of them had this they were like the X-Men

They all had this supernatural fucking gift. So one of them could swallow the ocean So he fucking so one of the fishermen goes hey, can you do me a favor?

Can you can you drink up all the ocean so I can walk out and pick up all the fish and the kid goes? Yeah, no problem. All right, but here's the thing. I can only hold it for so long

So when I start waving my arms, that means to come back in so I don't spit it out and you drown The guy's like yeah, no problem. So he fucking drinks the whole fucking thing up.

Those cheeks are all puffed out

I mean, you know as far as physics goes it makes no fucking sense His cheeks should be three-quarters the size of the globe as far as I'm concerned, right but they weren't he just had him all puffed

Out like it took a big drink of water. So the fucking guy goes out there He starts picking up the fish and blah blah blah blah blah So the kid starts waving his arms and the guy gets greedy.

He doesn't turn back

He's still looking at the fish and finally kid can't hold it. He fucking spits the ocean back out and the guy drowns This is a kid's book by the way

He fucking drowns so now they're like, oh you drowned that guy and the kids like why yeah, I fucking told them Yeah, oh you fucking if I wave my own day.

That's not an excuse kid. We're putting you to death

So I think they were all they were like twins the five of them whatever the word is sycophants what's what's for five Quintuplets as triplets quintuplets Hey Nia What do you call it when you have five babies at the same time what are they called quintuplets, thank you

Forever if I'm ever on who wants to be a millionaire, you're gonna be one of my lifelines quintuplets Quintuplets, right so they can't tell them apart So the first thing they're gonna do is they're gonna like burn the kid to death something crazy like that

So one of the kids the X-Men kids his brothers is he's like, hey, man Listen, I'd swallowed the ocean and drowned this guy and they want to burn me to death fire doesn't hurt you Can you fucking show up for my execution tomorrow?

And like alright

So he goes down there and they try to burn him to death and it doesn't fucking work And then they try to do something else I can't remember what stab him to death and the other kid can't get fucking stabbed

So he shows up long story short. They try to kill this kid fucking four or five times They can't do it and then the end of the book they're like, well, I guess we can't kill him

And that's how it ends as far as I remember. So I'm ordering that book today. I got I gotta remember how that goes alright

I'm still reading that Steeler's book, you know, I've been watching TV with my wife at night because, uh, you know, what kind of dealing with the kiddo here all day long except when she takes the nap and then I go out and practice drums and I work out and then she's up and then and then that's it. That's our day. But I've been working my way through this, uh, this book on the Pittsburgh Steelers called Their Life's Work and it's come to their first playoff game of their first Super Bowl season and they're playing the Oakland Raiders.

And the entire game is up on YouTube and Curt Gowdy is the announcer and Dandy Don Meredith, I believe is the guy doing the color and I have to tell you it is such a fucking man's game.
