Stop signs.

Known for being read.

Famous for being signs.

Nobody thinks much about them, so let's have some fun.

Let's find out why stop signs are secretly incredibly fascinating. Hey, Hey there, folks.

Welcome to a whole new podcast episode. A podcast all about why being alive is more interesting than people think it is. My name is Alex Schmidt, and I'm not alone. My guests today are Isaac Cabe and Candice Martillero. Isaac Cabe is a former colleague of mine at the former workplace crack.com.

That place did some column interesting decisions in 2020 impacting both of us.

Isaac has moved on to become an independent comedy writer.

He is also an airplane pilot, a holder of a degree in Russian language and literature,

just all kinds of

different things that will be very interesting on this episode. And then Candice Martillero is a pal of

mine from sketch comedy in L.A. at venues like the Pack Theater. She's an amazing comedy writer

with credits such as the very funny TV show Stan Against Evil on IFC.

Also, I've gathered all of our zip codes and used internet resources like native-land.ca

to acknowledge that I recorded this on the traditional land of the Kataba, Ino, and Shikori peoples.

Acknowledge Isaac recorded this on the traditional land of the Gabrielina Wartongva and Keech peoples. Acknowledge Isaac recorded this on the traditional land of the Gabrielino

Or Tongva and Keech peoples. Acknowledge Candice recorded this on the traditional land of the

Gabrielino-Wortongva and Kich and Chumash and Fernandano Tadeviam peoples. And acknowledge that in all

of our locations, native people are very much still here. That feels worth

doing on each episode, and today's episode is about stop signs. Stop signs are ubiquitous in

many countries, including the United States. There's a few countries mainly in Europe where you do

not really see them, and so for you folks in Europe, this is more of a voyage of discovery this week.
