Episode 115: Lake Michigan’s UFO’s, Winning Goldfish, & Chrisley Doesn’t Know Best

[00:00:00] Hey everybody it's me Kathleen Madigan, welcome to Madigan's Pubcast. You grab yourself a drink, pull up a bar stool, and let's talk about what's been going on. Termites! Welcome fire! Holiday World Cup fire! Do you like my World Cup hat? Yeah. Sorry paddles. Canada, you did good!

[00:00:38] It's the first time, come on, every year you just hope your team gets better and better and better. And I bet $25 on them to do with that game and they came out within the first minute scored number like, I want to win this $1 money! And then they didn't.

[00:00:52] But you know, Ireland didn't make it, all kinds of countries that you would think would make it, Italy didn't qualify, you qualified. You know, you did good. Your uniforms were good. I didn't like Germany's uniforms this year and usually they're my favorite.

[00:01:12] And then like that, I didn't like that black, it looked like a black wax stripe in the middle. Croatia always looks like Ralston-Parina, sorry, it's the red checkerboard, I can't get past because my aunt worked at Ralston-Parina.

[00:01:25] We had all kinds of Ralston-Parina for the, I love soccer but I know I'm in the minority when it comes to Americans but my brother's played in. It's a St. Louis thing. I guess not just St. Louis but like St. Louis really likes soccer.

[00:01:40] Nashville's getting on board, they got a team now, I went, it was fun. Yeah and two people from St. Louis are in the United States and they went to the same grade school as my cousin Maureen. Yep. That's a big deal considering how big the country is.

[00:01:58] And this will be over, you guys will hear this on Wednesday and I'm taping this on Monday so tomorrow, well it won't be tomorrow when you hear this but I'm going to watch. It won't be tomorrow till I say so in Paris, okay?

[00:02:13] It'll be tomorrow, god damn it, when I say it's tomorrow and it's not tomorrow. Tuesday the World Cup game will be played, we will see if the United States will advance. They're playing Iran, Iran's very mad at us because we changed their flag and we

[00:02:28] say Iran instead of Iran. Unless you're, I don't know a fancy person on the news, maybe you say Chile. I don't know, I grew up with Chile. It's called Chile. Well we don't use the accent in every single thing. We don't say China. We say China.

[00:02:48] No, China if you're in the South, that's it's got seven syllables. China, what am I drinking? This is from Andrea and Danielle. Danielle, a lot of stuff from Minnesota finally got back to the house. Yes, this is a cream ale. It's a castle cream ale from Minnesota.

[00:03:05] Yes, very nice and they said thanks for keeping these sisters laughing. Love the pubcast, all they could find was a holiday card. That's fine, it's the holidays. What else? That was fine. They put a bunch of beers backstage, delicious.

[00:03:18] I either drank them, shared with the staff or Kelly McFarlane, she likes a good beer every now and then too, the opening act. We had a lot of stuff backstage in Minnesota. I think I said that the last time but it finally made it back here.

[00:03:32] Got some for me, thank you. Yes, in paddles you got some too. This is from Leah and she left me these dots pretzels, never heard of dots. I know dot food, well they got the same thing. Original seasoned pretzel twist. Small town recipe, big time flavor. North Dakota.

[00:03:54] Wow. Wow, oh here's Dot, there's a picture of her. Yeah, I don't know, 40? Sorry if you're younger Dot. I don't know, she could be anywhere from 35. That's a terrible thing I shouldn't have guessed. Dot's pretzels dot com.

[00:04:16] I have a hard time meeting these backers eating with glasses on. This is from somewhere in North Dakota, Velvita, no that's not it's cheese. Well I can't read it but it's North Dakota. Dot looks like a normal happy American. Velve. Velve.

[00:04:37] Good job Dot, I like them a lot. I'll be taking those on the road tomorrow. No, it's not tomorrow yet because I haven't said so. I'll be taking them on the road to where? Spokane Washington, San Diego, really, I'll call home. Yeah, and Riverside.

[00:04:57] So thank you, Leah, Leah brought that. And then, boom, Wisconsin turned my mule shit over the border. Nice. Lotta you may not know Wisconsin, you can get there. It was only like, my friends it's like an hour so it's not really like she mules some curds. No.

[00:05:18] Yeah, Ellsworth, a cooperative creamery, cheese curd capital of the world. No way. Uh huh, Wisconsin, they're ranch ones. No. And they were delicious. This could probably put you in a hospital if you really went at it.

[00:05:37] Clawgog, I'm going to give it to my dad and see if I can claw some more of his arteries. Come on dad we just had those scraped out. Let's fill them back up. Come on. It took 80 years to get that full.

[00:05:48] Certainly we can, you can have a cheese curd. Those are delicious. She also brought some new Glarus bottocallover. Him and Aaron did that and they had a nice little curd. And they gave me a brochure in case I'd like to know more about the cheese curd capital

[00:06:04] of the world. Well, and I'm kind of nervous it would read all that shit and then show up. We should. Yeah, it will show up. Let's go. Yeah. I'm going to be rate them because they don't have t-shirts that I like. No, I wouldn't ever do that.

[00:06:18] Happy Thanksgiving. Amy Kim and Aaron. Wisconsin beer and cheese curd. Just wonderful. Mm-hmm. Moving on. Brooke, Brooke sent this hot sauce. It's called Cry Baby Craigs. It's from many, I know I love it. It's a heronero and it's from Minneapolis, Minnesota. I love a hot sauce.

[00:06:42] Every time my sister comes she makes fun of my refrigerator because she's like, is that all you fucking eat? It's hot sauce. That's all you need. That's all you need is hot sauce. That's all you need.

[00:06:51] If you have crackers or anything else hot sauce and then you change up your hot sauce it's like a whole different meal. Wow. Wow. Okay. Pepper? It's hot. Yeah. It's very good. But it's hot. Hotter the better. It's getting one to five.

[00:07:08] Well this can't go on like eggs or something. How does it go on? Like I don't know. French fries? Fries. Yeah. It's too much in the morning. Your brains would be blown out. It's an afternoon sauce. Yeah. That's from Brooke. Thank you, Brooke. That's an afternoon thing, yeah.

[00:07:29] Lauren and Mike brought me this little thing. It's a little Irish Goodluck charm they made. She made it. What? Yeah. It's a leprechaun. Wow. Yeah. She did it. She made it. She did it. She did it. I'm going to do my mom's. I was listed as a podcast.

[00:07:46] Your stories made me laugh and many thanks Minnesota termite. Lauren and Mike, I won't say last name because people may not want to know that. Yes, Leanne. That's enough. We're almost done with this and we'll keep moving on. Leanne, very nice termite. Brought me some beers.

[00:08:00] And she's pediatric home care night. Home care night nurse. Care for medically complex kids that would without nurses in the home most likely be living in a hospital. So that's nice. I sit in dark rooms with sleeping kids on ventilators that make a soothing,

[00:08:14] making a rhythmic white noise. As you can imagine, it can be a struggle to stay awake at some times. So she listens to the podcast sometimes. I'm in the rotation now. That's a lot better than one time my friend Anita Baker told me that she listened to

[00:08:27] bothering Jesus to put her to sleep. I'm like, that is not the attention of a comedy thing. She's like, no, there's just something about your voice. I'm like, don't ever tell people that story again. And I just told it again, but it's funny. She brought some local beer.

[00:08:48] That's Leanne. And last but not least, oh, some more termites mulled over some Nuclearis from Wisconsin. And look, there's a print store, by the way, this card. So if you're not watching this, it's a print's card because Minneapolis and there's a print store in the Minneapolis airport.

[00:09:08] Sometimes it's not open super early because I always take the first flight out. But boy, if you have time in between flights, it's in the main center. They just asked somebody by the wall. I bar. Well, that's what I call it.

[00:09:22] I don't know that it's called the wall. I bar. It's where I get my wall. This is from Mona. She, um, she thought said, I hope it makes it to you. By the way, all things make it to me for the most part.

[00:09:34] Um, the, oh, it's just next to a fancy golf course in Rome, Wisconsin. Yeah. Her sister got a place anyway. So good job midwest termites. Lots of fun treats. How was everybody's Thanksgiving? Fine. Good. Paddles don't care. It's not Canadian Thanksgiving is it? You celebrated doing what?

[00:09:58] Oh, friends. Oh God. I watch football again. Football and gambling is really what it's all about. And I'm so glad there's more games now. And now that I've got the kids in the fantasy league, the kids are on board too.

[00:10:14] Like, you know, my mom will go, why don't we all do. No, no, football is odd. No, no. We're playing fantasy. Yeah. Do you guys want to play a board game or a singing game? Nope. Nope. Singing involves the next odds for the next game, mom.

[00:10:30] What's the over under in the cowboy game? We did something I can't get into it. It was a Christmas thing and it was, I don't know, it was too early. Yeah, I didn't get into it. It's not December yet. No, no, it's a precursor. Yes. Okay.

[00:10:50] Moving on to the everything. Do I have any Queen news? So Thursday, you'll be hearing this on Wednesday most likely. Tomorrow is when I say it's tomorrow. It's not tomorrow. Tomorrow. Dolly has an NBC Christmas movie. Lots of guest stars. Thursday, whatever the date is.

[00:11:12] I don't know what date is today. I don't know. Today is the 28th. It'll be November 30. No, 31st. Is there 34? No, there's only 30 days. Do you know that, Brian? It'll be December 1st, my mom's birthday. And what did she get?

[00:11:27] A brand new television hung on a wall with a soundbar. The neighbors are going to hate me and they're going to hate the man who hung it and they're really going to hate my dad because I can hear the news.

[00:11:41] I can hear the news when I pull up in the car. Yeah. I try to time it. Right at 5.30 and I can hear Lester Holt go, welcome to NBC Nightly News. And I can hear it outside.

[00:12:00] So Dolly's going to have this Christmas movie and many guest stars, many heavy hitters. Willie Nelson, she called in a lot of the gang. Google the guest stars on Dolly's thing and we'll read them off because it's worth it. Guest stars on Dolly's thing.

[00:12:17] Guest stars on Dolly's thing. Yes, that's what we're going for. See who's in it. I just remember Willie. Her Mountain Magic Christmas. Oh, what a good one. Who's the guest stars? Willie. Billy. Billy. Jimmy. Chili? Who's Jimmy? Jimmy Allen. Jimmy Allen. Zach Williams. Zach Williams.

[00:12:44] I don't know who that is. Jimmy Fallon. Miley Cyrus. Miley. I thought I heard Billy are fighting or I heard daddy are fighting. Yeah, different filming, different hours, different days, different makeup trailers. Yeah. Anybody else? Nobody had no.

[00:13:00] Well, good for Dolly for doing NBC because that's probably a big paycheck. Now, if you're a Hallmark movie person, I am too. There's been a big hubbub going on in the Christmas movie lead because Cameron Creme Brulee, that's what I call her. Candice Creme Brulee.

[00:13:22] She's sister of Kirk Cameron who's a little out there. Is that a polite way to say it? Yeah, like End Times shit. But anyway, Candice Creme Brulee has abandoned the Hallmark Network because she's going to I think it's called the Great American Christian Country Station. What?

[00:13:54] Great American country. Great American women. No, great American family. No, come on, the network. Great American country. Great American family. That's one time they asked me to be on a cooking segment on their morning show

[00:14:13] when I Google it all and it just does a little too wholesome for this Catholic. You know what I'm saying? Wholesome people. Well, there you go. I'm not wholesome. There is nothing wholesome about what's going on in this desk right now. There's fire, hot sauce, cheese curds, alcohol.

[00:14:34] Tennessee's winning. Tennessee's winning. What? Oh, yeah. Tennessee Fred Bird. I mean, I know I'm not a wholesome person. Bucky. Why didn't they even know why they asked me? And why would you ask me on a cooking segment?

[00:14:52] I don't know how to cook and I don't have any interest in it. Unless I go into your yearwoods because I believe she'll let me eat the food. The rest of them, I don't think you get to eat it.

[00:15:01] I've done them on TV shows because I got roped into it. I don't like it. You're a good. I like. Nelter. I don't like anything about cooking. I would never cook in my whole life. I didn't have to. I'll make my mom's dressing because I like it.

[00:15:15] But that's about it. Anyway, Candace Creme Brulee is a big star of the Hallmark movies if you don't follow. There's a few Lacey. I always want to call her Peterson, but that's a lady who died. Shambler, Lacey Shambler.

[00:15:32] They use like the same seven actors over and over and over and over. Well, Candace Creme Brulee has abandoned the Hallmark movie. Now, she should have just said, well, I'm going over to the great American family because I feel like they represent my wholesome values.

[00:15:49] But she kind of went a little too far there and said it's the Hallmark channels getting too gay now. Meaning. Gay. Meaning. Not happy. Gay. Ha ha ha ha. Meaning gay people are in it. Yeah. And some of the episodes and she doesn't want that.

[00:16:09] So she's going to go on then that lady that was on the show. Full house. Danica, who went with her? McKellar, the one with the giant eyes. She left to. Oh, we got two that have abandoned ship. Jessica Lundez. Jessica Lundez.

[00:16:29] No, no, no, you got to be a star star. Jen Lilly. I don't know who these people are. Paddles. Nobody knows. We've got to stop talking about this. Oh, it. No. That lady's parents are found out in the heat deal. What do you talk?

[00:16:45] They didn't pay the heating bill. I'm serious. Totally serious. Jen Lilly. She wants wholesome values but she started on General Hospital. She started on General Hospital and wants wholesome values. Well, I don't think all that sex on those shows is wholesome. What's the definition of wholesome? Exactly. Definition.

[00:17:05] Ha ha ha. I am fine with Candace Crumb Brulee getting off the Hallmark Channel because that makes room for somebody else who's more interesting. In days of our lives, this lady's a hoe. This lady's a hoe. She's been a soap jumping.

[00:17:22] Well, you know, you got to get the work where you got to get the work. All right. Enough paddles. Just saying there's a lot of shit going down in Christmas land. She has four kids at what age? She was born in 84. Born in 84? She has.

[00:17:39] Well, my mom had four by 25. You know, it happens. It is different times. And hopefully Kirk Cameron Crumb Brulee's brother is not right because he posts a lot of end times shit. Yeah, I don't want to end times yet. Not yet. We're having fun. Yeah.

[00:18:00] Anyway, all right, moving on. That's all the Queen News I got. Dollar you got a Christmas party? I don't know, Tanya. Share trends every day. I can barely keep up with it. Stevie's got a Frito Frito badge on. Shock has been quiet again.

[00:18:15] People are divided on Tete being a Queen. People are divided on Tete being a Queen. We need Anita. We need we'll get Anita if I have to make one myself. I'll do it. I'll figure it out. Um, there was somebody else though that I thought about recently.

[00:18:33] Why not Elton John? He says he's a Queen. Right? Somebody said... We can do it on behalf of the All Hard Channel. On behalf of the All Hard Channel. Well, on behalf of his last show. Yeah. Yeah. I think his last one's in London. Anyway, update!

[00:18:50] We're moving on. So I have to correct myself, Ter Rites. Well, I don't have to correct myself. Christie's of London has to correct itself. They are canceling the sale of the 15 to 20 million dollar T-Rex that we talked about last week. No! Over concerns about number of replica bones.

[00:19:13] What? People are building fake ones. Come on. Shit, you're not. Christie's has withdrawn the sale of a T-Rex skeleton plan for oxygen in Hong Kong over concerns of how many bones or replicas. Oh, they spelled a long road. They spelled a long wrong. They spelled it, uh, alnog.

[00:19:34] Along with copyright concerns from a notable fossil company. The auction for T-Rex named Shen, so this woman, which was scheduled for November 30th, was expected to fetch 15 to 20 million. However, the lot was withdrawn after questions were sent to Christie's from

[00:19:49] the Black Hills Institute of Geological Research Fossil Company about the slimmer areas between Shen's bones and another high profile T-Rex skeleton sold in 2020. They often, the last one they auctioned off was named Stan, that T-Rex. Come on. This guy, Shen, for a record 31 million.

[00:20:14] The legal company, the legal agreement allowed the company to continue to sell approximately 100 painted cask of the skeleton made by of polyurethane for $120,000, blah, blah, blah. So there's they're just it's not, there's not enough bones in it that are real to make it real. Yeah. Christie's of London.

[00:20:33] It's your shit together, right? I don't, I've never even, I don't even know where you go to two fine Christie's in London and I've been to London. I never thought about looking. I should have went in there just to see what's good.

[00:20:44] I wonder if you could just go in. Update! January 6th, writer who filmed Pelosi laptop theft jailed after jury convicts her on six cows. Oh, and it's one of the children. She's 23 years old. Riley June. I'm not kidding. Her name is Riley June.

[00:21:07] She's released from Madoffin County prison in Harrisburg. She was released in January 21st, 2021 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. A federal judge ordered Riley a 23 year old right wing extremist taken into federal custody after a jury convicted her on six of the eight counts she faced in the

[00:21:26] connection in connection with the January 6th attack. She's found guilty. The jury deadlocked on two others, including whether she aided and bended the theft of the laptop in the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. She is a follower of the grouper movement. I thought it was a fish.

[00:21:47] Maybe I'm saying it wrong. Groyper G-R-O-Y-P-E-R. Googling. Whatever she's. America first. Many hold racist and anti-Semitic views. Oh, they don't say white supremacists. They say pure Christians. Well, that's not very nice to real Christians. You know, you're giving them a bad name. All right.

[00:22:23] Well, the children know about it. She was part of the mob that ran up to Nancy's office. She also pushed up against cops and tried to organize other writers inside the Capitol grounds. She had faced a total of eight charges, civil disorder, destruction of official

[00:22:42] proceeding, resisting and impeding officers, aiding in a bedding theft of government property and four misdemeanors. Judge Amy Berman Jackson said she had no confidence whatsoever that Williams had respect for the rule of law and granted a government request for her to be detained until her sentencing.

[00:22:58] See, unlike Elizabeth Holmes. Oh, sorry. Elizabeth Holmes. Um, this girl doesn't get to walk free till her sentencing. Now, who's more of a flight risk? Hello? Elizabeth. She's got the money. This kid has zero dollars, zero dollars. I mean, I'm guessing by looking she's 23 to how many 20.

[00:23:22] She showed little emotion when the jury returned as verdict and was clearly obsessed by Jackson's decision to lock her up as she was taken into custody custody. She was wearing an outfit that resembled a school uniform.

[00:23:31] She removed her tie and gave her pink purse to her lawyer who handed it to a male companion in the court gallery. Fockem, she appeared to mouth to the man. I'm sorry. Who are you sorry to? Him, your boyfriend or who's this man? Who's this guy?

[00:23:50] Why doesn't anybody identify this story is lacking? You're saying my journalism school skills are better than this. Um, so we'll see. I don't know how long she's going for. They haven't sentenced her yet. Um, Williams, federal, federal public defenders argued that while Williams had

[00:24:15] distasteful belief, she'd come to DC with nothing but her cell phone and her fuzzy zebra bag. She bragged about her acts online, online, online. She did it. She did it. When will the children learn? Commit your crimes in silence. That's why half the reason why they do it.

[00:24:37] She bragged about her acts because she wanted to be somebody. Well, you are your prisoner 49497. I just made I just made up that number. Sounded official though, didn't it? Sounded like I know what I'm talking about. We'll keep you updated on Riley June.

[00:24:51] Riley, what'd you go get into in DC? She's gonna be in prison for a couple of years, I would imagine. Okay, this update makes me, I don't know why I find such joy in Zuckerberg's failures, but I do because I think he's an avatar.

[00:25:07] I don't think he's a real person and I think he's destroying things, especially in over in Hawaii. He bought all that shit on November 15th. Meta unveiled a new large language model called Galactica designed to assist

[00:25:24] scientists, but instead of landing with the Big Bang Meta hope for Galactica has died with a whimper after three days of intense criticism. Yesterday, the company took down the public demo that had it. It encouraged everyone to try out its missteps

[00:25:39] and its hubris show once again that the Big Tech has a blind spot about severe limitations on large language models. Now, I don't even know what a language model is. Well, whatever this one failed. There's a large body of research that highlights the flaws of this technology,

[00:25:56] including its tendencies to reproduce, prejudice and assert falsehoods as facts. However, Meta and other companies working on large language models, including Google have failed to take it seriously. Galactica is a large language model.

[00:26:11] They wait, I wanted to tell you though, you don't need to understand it's a language model, whatever the hell that is. See what it says. What did Giggle says about that? What's a language model? Galactica is a mindless bot that cannot tell facts for fictions within our

[00:26:30] scientists, which probability distribution. Once again, I've been told the definition of something and I don't understand the definition, but it's useful for a variety of problems in. All right. Within hours, scientists were sharing its bias and incorrect results on social media.

[00:26:59] They just started so that all the scientists were like, this is just garbage. That technology's been around. It's gone. I mean, three days. In all cases, it was wrong or biased or sounded right and authoritative. I think it's dangerous. Then this guy went through then the super nerds.

[00:27:24] The super nerds went well all in and really got pissed off. The rest of it gets too hard, especially when you don't understand the definition, the definition, but it lasted three days and he told everybody to go. Here's the thing.

[00:27:40] If you tell if you're going to tell all the science spokes to go try something, you better make sure it works. How do you put that up and tell them? Because it's not like if you told a bunch of beer drinkers to go do something.

[00:27:53] We might or we might not. And we probably if it just kind of half ass work, we'd be like, yeah, that's kind of cool, but you can't tell these people to take this shit. Seriously, no. Holy shit, they found it. This is awesome. Why does it these two?

[00:28:08] Why don't these things happen to me when I'm walking at the creek in our farm in Missouri, the creek's really low. Me and my mom went looking for arrowheads. Jeff Fox were these other favorite pastime and Missouri round rocks. I found a lot of cool stuff this weekend.

[00:28:25] But anyway, oh, like tools, ancient pottery tools. You found ancient pottery tools. Yes, ancient pottery tools. My mom knows the name of all them because she's a super nerd and researches it all and then she contacts some man

[00:28:38] who I'm certain is very excited to speak to Vicki Madigan at the University of Missouri in the such and such department. Um, you know, like the when they had the bowl and the thing that you a pestle, Pesto pasta tools. There I found out like a turtle.

[00:29:03] They made art. All kinds of shit. Yeah. But listen to this. A dried up river exposes a rare fossil of the largest big cat on the continent, the American lion. The last thing Willie Pruitt of Exford, Mississippi.

[00:29:20] I've been to Mississippi quite a lot and I've never heard of exford. Expected to find on a walk was a fossil from an animal that roamed the region roughly 11,000 years ago. He stumbled upon what resembled a jaw bone with black teeth on October 26

[00:29:36] near Rosedale around 140 miles northwest of Jackson. OK, then I know where that's at. As he poked around a sandbar that had exposed itself due to the low water levels on the Mississippi River, I could tell from the teeth right away that it was a fragment of a carnivorous

[00:29:52] jaws, but I dared not hope it was from an American lion. It looks it certainly looked right, but I wouldn't let myself believe that. Was it the first of its kind? Surely it couldn't be the American lion.

[00:30:03] Questions were aplenty and there was only one right way to rightly confirm. Three days later, Pruitt visited Mississippi Fossil and Artifacts Imposium and Exhibition Event and asked for an expert opinion. Little did he know that his discovery made history.

[00:30:19] It is indeed a fossilized jaw bone of the largest cat on the continent, the American lion until they went extinct eight feet long. Oh, eight feet long. God, I think of baby cat. Baby cat's probably only one foot long.

[00:30:32] One and a half, eight feet long, weighed a thousand pounds, the American lion. And is reported to be heavier than the saber tooth tiger. The giant state back three hundred and forty thousand years and preyed on large animals across the continent from Alaska to southern Mexico.

[00:30:47] His was only the fourth fossil evidence of the lion. And the other three were found in Mississippi, too. That's crazy. Why are they all Mississippi? Surprisingly, this symposium happened to have an exhibit of these previously found fossils. What are the odds?

[00:31:05] Event organizers said that Pruitt made history by showing up with a definitive American lion fossil. I've had very important artifacts and fossils come into my outreach programs, but nothing as significant as a newly discovered American lion. Yeah, the extinct lion was first.

[00:31:19] The first one was discovered in Natchez, Mississippi in the 1830s. No one knew that giant lions roam North America until this famous Mississippi discovery. The only other two were discovered near the Mississippi River near Clarksdale, Mississippi and Rosdale, Mississippi. How great is that? You found a lion. Yeah.

[00:31:42] I'm picking up rocks in a creek going, does this look like a turtle that somebody made as a little piece of art for one of their children? Here's another holy shit. Massive ancient sea turtle discovered in Spain was nearly the size of a car. Sea turtle.

[00:32:05] Well, they don't say what kind of car, but I'm going to say if it's a Spanish Spain, it's a tiny sedan. Yeah, it's a tiny car, but it's still that paleontologist. Spain believed they unearthed the new prehistoric sea turtle species that may have been the largest ever.

[00:32:20] Researchers at the Autonomous University of Barcelona analyzed the pelvis bone and posterior part of the show recovered from the Pyrenees Mountain Range in Northeastern Spain in 2016 to 2021. And the determined the turtle was 12 feet long. Wow. Um,

[00:32:37] a hiker traversing the Pyrenees in 2016, stumbled apart a part of the fossil. There's a picture of what they think it looked like. If you happen to be in the water and saw this thing coming at you, that's it, you're done. You're done. Oh, I mean,

[00:32:53] I don't want to see things go extinct, but I'm glad I can walk out my front door and there's not a T-Rex. You know, our American lion for that matter. Um, the there's only one turtle bigger in the history of our world.

[00:33:08] The newly discovered turtle is slightly smaller than the extinct Archelon, the world's largest known prehistoric sea turtle. They could grow up to be 15 feet long as way as much as 3.5 tons. This is the largest one ever though found in Europe. Good for him.

[00:33:24] Now see, do you get anything? Do you get a free pass to the museum or something? Yeah, maybe not money, but a little plaque found by a trophy. A trophy would be great. Right. Moving on to news. I'm a ribbon. Where are my math nerds at?

[00:33:43] I got something for you. Does that even for me? Brace yourselves. Brace yourselves. Who wants it? Einstein's handwritten math notes expected to fetch 70 grand at an auction. A sheet of paper covered in the mathematic notes of renowned physicist Albert Einstein is tipped to sell.

[00:34:03] The genius mathematician wrote down a series of scientific equations in ink and pencil on the plain paper. He crossed out small sections of the draft manuscript showing even the finest minds make the odd mistake. You know, we're going to put a picture of these notes in the schnotes.

[00:34:22] It doesn't even look like a language I'm familiar with and its numbers. I don't. It is like a code. Yeah, it is a code. It's not like a code. And then there was a letter with it to he wrote in 1933 just months after he

[00:34:37] renounced his German citizenship and was forced to flee the Nazis. He left Germany. I mean, it's like bracket parentheses, R I X minus G slash. Whoa, that's an offside triangle. Ah, that looks like a little bird in a plane. GT parentheses closed minus

[00:35:02] parentheses K, K I K kick kick with a I look curse of I above that minus half dues, D O with a tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny four above that upside down triangle. I mean, I make your phone go that's yeah, I guess.

[00:35:32] Tragically, the exiles scientist signed off with the mournful message Albert Einstein from the graveyard of buried hopes. That was his letter. The documents are being sold at the International Autograph Auctions in Malaga, Spain. Richard Davies, specialist at the auction thing,

[00:35:52] well, Einstein clearly created many such pages of scientific formulas during his career. They remain highly sought after by collectors and are signed examples of exceptional rarity again. I think this should be in a museum. So like wherever, wherever he wanted it.

[00:36:09] Furthermore, the president example is greatly enhanced by both Einstein's handwritten observation, reflecting on the possibility of what he wished to have achieved with his calculations and the fine accompaniment letter of provenance from Elsa Einstein. That's his wife was his wife.

[00:36:25] Did you watch the thing with what's his face about Einstein, the Nat Geo thing with Jeffrey Jeffrey Rush plays? Oh my God, he plays Einstein. He is just a wonderful actor in the whole thing. Then you kind of don't like Einstein, though.

[00:36:40] But we don't have to give that away, do we? Well, make up your own mind. But, you know, he was weird. Yeah, you make up your own mind. I think he was a dick. What? Very nice to his wife or kids. I don't know. Maybe people that smart.

[00:37:00] See, I can't say that those are probably really smart people are nice. Yeah. And in March 1993, Albert Nelson returned to Europe from America and learned that Hitler seized power and that the Cascopo had raided their Berlin apartment confiscating several of their possessions, landing in Antwerp.

[00:37:15] Up, up, up, up, up. Well, you guys know the rest of his life. He died in 1955 at age 76. His notes will be sold on November 30th. I mean, I don't know. I think they should go to a museum. Is there art of the math and science museums?

[00:37:28] Well, like we have the Smithsonian, Sonia and space. Yeah, but he might not want his in America. Maybe he wants them back in Germany. Somebody should contact his people. His people. Yeah. Seinfeld used to have a good joke. Oh my God, I forgot to say that, too.

[00:37:44] Seinfeld used to have a good joke about in the Smithsonian there was a the science part that's aerospace. There was a toothbrush and it said on loan from Neil Armstrong. And Jerry was like, really, Neil? You couldn't just give him the toothbrush. You got it's on loan.

[00:38:04] Do you want to do you want it back? Speaking of Jerry, I forgot this came in the mail. I don't even know who sent it. Came to the house. It's the Simon and Schuster. And then I thought I saw the box.

[00:38:17] I'm like, did Carly Simon hear us talking about her on the podcast? She said I doubt it. Oh, yeah. No, it's the comedian and cars coffee table book. It's very well done. It's super heavy. Yeah, I'm in here some. Yeah, it's it's interesting.

[00:38:43] I you know, and then I was like, yeah, I think I signed something a long time ago where they were like, hey, do you care if we whatever? And I'm like, no, that's fine to be in it. I guess. But I had forgotten about it.

[00:38:55] It was quite a while ago, but well done. But I forgot to say this came in the mail. It was shocking because I don't. Well, I mean, I should remember I did it, but I'd spent a long time.

[00:39:04] And then I forgot to show you guys this, the diamonds and rhinestone dolly album. I didn't want to open it. I just like the cover. The purple is fantastic. Or is it black? It's black and purple. There's purple on there to go at the butterfly.

[00:39:20] Anyway, I forgot about that. Germany has a Smithsonian. What? It's called the Deutsche Museum. Germany has a Smithsonian, the Deutsche Museum. Well, I don't know where he would have wanted his stuff. He probably wants him at Princeton. He taught at Princeton. I think yeah.

[00:39:35] All right. Let's let's move on to rhinestones. The Chrisleys don't know best. Like I said, rhinestones and glitter. Diamonds and rhinestones. It's not rhinestones and glitter. Well, it shouldn't be glitter. The name. No. The name of dollars album is diamonds and rhinestones. The greatest hits collection. Yeah. 95 Jolene.

[00:40:02] Here you come again. I was in the sun. Stream. Stream. Kenny Rogers. I didn't love that song. I loved it. Did you? Yes. I don't know. I will always love you. Code of many colors by Tessie Mountain Home, the Bargains door. Baby I'm burning. Better get to livin.

[00:40:20] I like that song. Love is a butterfly heart red shoes to see going goes on and on all the heads. What do you want? Yes, we're doing two doors down when life is good again. Silver threads and golden news with Loretta Linda Tammy Winnett. Come on.

[00:40:37] Yeah. Anyway, that book was under here. So I forgot that. Let's move on to Chrisley doesn't know best. So here's the thing in Nashville. A friend of mine, Nancy. She lives in a nice neighborhood and then told me one time that the Chrisleys were buying.

[00:40:59] I kept buying the house. Yeah, right down in the way in the street. Yonder down yonder. And I was like, what did they do? Like, I never watched that reality show. And I'm not saying I'm above it. I watch a lot of garbage TV.

[00:41:16] But you're also not saying that's garbage TV. Well, I'm saying it's my version of garbage TV. Things that don't make your head hurt. You know, just easy breezy, easy things like so.

[00:41:30] I know that it had been on at times when I was in the gym and it was just on channels, same thing with the Kardashian deal. But I didn't understand why am I supposed to know who these people are? Like what is their deal?

[00:41:43] So then I went and looked at a couple of them on YouTube. I can see where people would want to keep watching this guy. But to me, he's kind of like a poor man's Leslie Jordan. Well, Leslie Jordan's way, way, way, way, way better.

[00:42:00] Right. Like he's just fun. And and then I was like, is he really married to this lady? For reals? OK, whatever. But like I could tell from the reality, from doing reality TV and having friends

[00:42:13] at working manly TV, they just kept finding shit for these people to do. They're not really doing it. It's too pretty. It just seemed outdated. But whatever I could every we all have our guilty pleasures. I mean, mine's monarch. Hello. What's that telling you?

[00:42:27] Who about I can't judge when I'm sitting there watching monarch? So I'm not judging it. You're a Roman. But you're a Roman and that's how we're going to behave. Romans do what Romans do. I just was surprised it was a hit.

[00:42:44] I could see the Kardashians and all that more so because they're LA and it's Hollywood, but these guys. Well, right. And whatever. I tried to watch some. Maybe I need to go back to the first season. There were nine. Nine seasons of this shit. Yes, since 2014.

[00:43:04] And they bought homes in Nashville. Well, this is why sometimes I really like People magazine. Now, the only place I see People magazine anymore is usually at like the dentist office or somewhere easy knowing me where it's available to read for free while you're waiting.

[00:43:23] Sometimes people in the grocery store, you can't read a whole People magazine. Jesus, go to self checkout. Paddles doesn't matter with you, Grandma. You stay in there behind people. Well, the line super long today. I guess I'll read people. I'm finished. The inquirer. Let's move on. I.

[00:43:45] And then I read somebody that he had a gay lover guy who's who turned him in. I got to get into that story more for next week if that's who turned them in. This is what I do not understand about criminals. These kind of criminals.

[00:44:01] Well, this is what I love about People magazine. Let's get back to that. This is why they're just a wonderful thing. They start out their article. Who are Todd and Julie Chrisley? Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much.

[00:44:15] Because it's like this would be like I'm at this point like explaining something to my parents, you have to explain this to me like I'd explain shit to my mom and dad. Todd and Julie Christie are married stars of the reality series.

[00:44:27] Chrisley knows best that premiered in the USA Network in 2014 and is entering part two of its ninth season in June. Let me see when this was written. It's a summation. OK, this was 11 27 22. So this is the series center around Patriarch Tart, Patriarch, Patriarch,

[00:44:48] Todd and his brutally honest parenting style towards his five children. Lindsey, Kyle, Chase, Savannah and Grayson, the family drama spawned a docu series title growing up Chrisley that follows the lives of Chase and Savannah as they enter adulthood. One of them I believe I see sometimes golfing.

[00:45:10] I seems friendly. Chase, Chase. Yeah, I don't know. It seems very nice. My spy in the pro shops says very nice. I have a spy because whatever there's. But I didn't know that was some I didn't even know who that person was.

[00:45:28] But I don't know who Coles Wendell is when people every time, every time, single time Brian will go, he said hi to you again, Maddie. I'm like, who said hi? That guy, I go, he's like, I go, I don't know.

[00:45:42] I said hi back, but I don't know who he is. He's a famous country singer. He seems very nice. But I got to say in a golf outfit, hat on shorts, they all have the same Travis Matthews, they all look adorable, but they all look identical unless you're

[00:45:57] Jamie Johnson, then I go, oh, there's my friend, Jamie Johnson. And then the rest of them are just old guys that are not famous people. That's a beard coming at you. Yeah, that's a beard and a half. He's so funny, though.

[00:46:08] He will jump out of a moving golf cart to run over and hug me. He'll stop my golf cart. He's so nice. And I didn't know anything about his music either till after I'd already met him through Ron. As you know, I'm not really up on the country.

[00:46:21] I have to get on. I got to go listen to Coles Wendell now. I feel bad. I don't know. But anyway, this Chase person, sidetracked, sorry about all that. I know boring golf talk. Shut up. What were Todd and Julie Chrisley indicted for in 2019?

[00:46:39] This is I love this article because they just here's the facts. They were indicted on 12 counts of bank and wire fraud, tax evasion and conspiracy in 2019 after being accused of evading nearly two million dollars in state taxes between 2018 and 2016. Prosecutors also claim that their production,

[00:46:56] they use their production company, seven C productions to hide over a million dollars worth of their reality TV income from the IRS and alleged that Todd directed an employee to falsely falsify income and asset documents. They turned themselves in.

[00:47:10] This is in Georgia, and they pleaded not guilty to the charges at the time that October, the Georgia revenue Department of Revenue cleared them. So they were good to go in the state of Georgia. No problems. You're cleared.

[00:47:21] A greening that Chrisley knows best and they'd overpaid in those four years and they would nothing for the other four. OK, good job. In total, they had a net liability of less than seventy seven thousand dollars in overdue taxes for just one year of incorrect filing.

[00:47:33] That's not abnormal. What are they on trial for now? Well, although the Georgia Department of Revenue signed a settlement agreement that ended a two year investigation of the couple's alleged state tax liabilities per oppressor, these shared with people,

[00:47:46] they continue to face federal charges for allegedly evading federal taxes during those same years. Both face one kind of conspiracy to commit bank fraud. They lied to banks to get loans. Now, here's what I don't get. Eventually, if you're lying to the bank

[00:48:04] to get money, you clearly need the money. And you're not going to have the money to pay the bank back. Like I'd rather take my chances with two meth heads robbing a seven eleven because if we do it and we get away with it, we're good.

[00:48:23] Well, we're not good people. Maybe they thought season nine would be better. Oh, you think maybe they thought there'd be more magical income that they could then pay 30 million dollars back to a bank that they lied to get? This is why I don't get you.

[00:48:36] How do you not see the train coming? Rod stones and glitter is the answer to everything. The accountant was charged to they lied on all these things to get the money. But eventually the bank is going to come looking for the money.

[00:48:55] I don't understand how they it's the Casey Anthony thing. You take the cops to Universal Studio, you say you work there, you know, you don't work there. Where do you think the train ends? There's a sociopathic element here that I just go, I understand robbing the bank.

[00:49:11] I mean, I wouldn't do it, but I get I get the idea of Rob and run. I don't get the idea. I don't get the lie to the bank. This will go down in flames. And I don't know what the payment is. They don't just give you money.

[00:49:29] Um, they've been convicted on all counts. He's going to Popo for 12 years. She's going for seven. Yeah. I mean, I just I don't see in the whole concept is terrible because if you're saying I need 30 million dollars from the bank to keep up my lifestyle,

[00:49:51] you clearly don't have it. You're going to have to pay it back. What is the thinking? Some magical things going to happen and you're going to have 50 million. Be able to pay them their 30 back. Just live for the moment. Well, that is really psychopathic

[00:50:13] because you're not it's impulsive. You're not thinking of anything. You got to go to Nancy. Well, they have to put up their national man. They bought two national mansions. Yes. Yes. They're going to have to put those up for sale. Isn't hers auction? Isn't hers.

[00:50:31] I don't really know the details on what they bought. They compared their legal woes to the lessons God gave the prophets and they said they were using Bible verses to get them through. Come on. Come on. Not kidding. I can't make these things up.

[00:50:47] Jesus is going to fix it. Just give him a minute. OK, god damn it, paddles. Just give him a minute. Give him a minute. Oh, my God. Jesus. All right. You guys have to go see the picture of this thing. Whoops. Sorry. A fisherman in England.

[00:51:08] I would have. This is probably where I would have had a heart attack there. Fishing is fun till something freakish happens. A UK fisherman became the envy of anglers everywhere after reeling in a nearly 70 pound monster gold fish. Wait till you see the picture of it.

[00:51:25] I if I would have seen it even coming near the boat, I'd have been like, cut the line, cut the line. Throw the pollen, throw the pollen. He threw it back. This thing's called the carrot. It's famous. I wonder if carrot top knows the carrot.

[00:51:39] Yeah, he always knew the carrot was in there, he said, but I never thought I would catch it. He's a Worcester. Oh, like what? I wonder if that's where Worcestershire sauce comes from. Worcestershire England. Did we just learn something? Termites. A Worcester based, he's a company director.

[00:52:03] Is that where they made up Worcestershire sauce? Invented in England. Yay, I never knew that. It's really it's not a goldfish per se, but it looks exactly like if a goldfish in your little thing when you were a kid.

[00:52:22] Went crazy and decided to become Godzilla and take over the world. That's how big it looks. It's really an actual it's actually a hybrid species of leather, carp and koi carp, though, like the ones in the koi pods.

[00:52:36] But it looks more like the one you had as a kid from the fair or whatever. Yeah, this particular specimen. A fair, the state fair. I always got a goldfish at the state fair. That's where my mom long, my mom just recently learned that donkeys can jump.

[00:52:56] What are you talking about? The state fair. Don't well, Canada, did you have a province fair? The Calgary Stampede. OK, that's too big for my kind of what I'm talking about. We don't get fish.

[00:53:12] Like at the state fair, like you throw the baseball and hit shit and then they give you goldfish. Well, it's one of the choices. You don't have to take the goldfish. What else can you get? You know, a stuffed animal. I always took all living animals.

[00:53:30] Any pet, any pet I could sneak home. I'm in hamsters, gerbils, goldfish, whatever. Yeah, they'd have it in the bag and then you'd have to spend like a buck for the little glass deal.

[00:53:43] But then I'd say to my dad, do you really want me to carry this bag around all day? No, you don't, dad. So by the thing and then he'd buy the little aquarium deal. There's so many things to learn. Worcestershire sauce is from England.

[00:53:59] This one is really that this was 20 years old and was apparently introduced to the lake 15 years ago. It was something different for anglers to try to catch. It's so great he threw it back to it, took his picture. So now somebody else can catch him. Hmm.

[00:54:14] He's loved the carrot has largely alluded to capture until earlier this month when it was hooked by hatchet. I knew it was a big fish when it took my bait and went off to the side, went off side to side up and down with it.

[00:54:26] Then it came to the surface 34 yards out and I saw that was orange. That's when I would panic. It was brilliant to catch, but also sheer luck. He spent a whopping 25 minutes reeling the monster in. The it's 30 pounds heavier than what was previously considered to be the world's

[00:54:45] biggest goldfish, which was caught in Minnesota by Minnesota resident John Fugate in 2019. He celebrated his colorful catch in apt fashion by drinking a cup of tea. Oh, well, well, he's British, you know, whatever. Well, in Kentucky in 2019, a fisherman nabbed a 20 pound koi fish while using

[00:55:12] only his morning biscuit as bait. Yep, man, probably ate half his biscuit through it back in. OK. We should really get some fish. Well, most of them will die. That's why you don't want to do that. You don't want to just throw shit randomly and they still die.

[00:55:32] You're not going to pass that you're wonderful. I'm yeah, I know what will live and die for the most part. All right. Um, can we talk about the person? Now, I would never wish this on my brother.

[00:55:48] But I could see it happening not any more, not any more when we were young. In our 20s, rescuers saved a carnival cruise ship passenger who fell overboard and was lost at sea for 15 hours. I don't want to say that carnival is usually the one where people are

[00:56:10] drinking a little too much, but let's just say it's carnival. But it's for the children. It's not, you know, the region royal Caribbean. It's it's usually what do we call it? What's a polite way to say discounted, not discounted. That makes it sound like it's in the sail.

[00:56:29] It's a bargain, if you will. Discounted is nicer than bargain. I don't think so. No, no. I'd say no. Anyway, it's usually not super expensive. So the 20 somethings to children, they want to go. And it's not because some of the other ones are getting ridiculously expensive.

[00:56:53] This guy, he's 28 years old. He's drinking his bar with his sister at the bar. That's why I was thinking of Patrick. She's like she's drinking too. Right. And she's like, yeah, I don't know. He just kept getting in trouble for vaping and figured he went out to vape.

[00:57:13] And then she went to bed. Nobody reported a missing till the next day. It's OK because he lived. OK, they were the Gulf of Mexico. Yeah, he fell over Wednesday night and then they started to search for it until 30 Thursday morning.

[00:57:30] It took a team effort from Coastal Guard Watch Standards response crews and our professional maritime partners operating the Gulf to locate the missing individual. How do you stay afloat for 15 hours? If it was not for the alert crew aboard the motor vessel,

[00:57:44] Crinus, this case would have a much more difficult ending. The man had been aboard in the carnival valor ship with his sister when he did not return from a trip to the bathroom Wednesday night, rescuers spotted the man on Thursday, roughly 20 miles from the coast of Louisiana.

[00:58:00] He's now in stable condition. They posted that there's a video and you can see him bobbing in the water. It's dark out. Yeah, but you can see he's floating. I mean, how do I don't think I could know way?

[00:58:13] He was paddling with his arms and waving at helicopters and they hoisted him with a rope. He told the man, Gross told CNN that the man realistically could have been in the water for 15 hours plus, but we were able to successfully rescue him

[00:58:28] before we were able to process it. He was able to identify himself to rescuers, but was showing signs of hypothermia, shock, dehydration. I mean, can you imagine? First, you fall first, you're probably drunk. You just went out to vape. Then you fall off God knows which deck

[00:58:50] and basically it's like hitting concrete. And then, Boeing, you're awake. Being drunk might have helped a lot. Yeah, he's probably relaxed when he hit the wall. I shouldn't even say he was drunk. He was drinking. I know that.

[00:59:03] I don't want to get sued by somebody saying, well, he really wants to have him fall. No, he had the monkey ass rum punch, the joke I do in my act. They encourage it. It's their fault. That's what I would say. You encouraged it.

[00:59:22] Um, Carvana, we're moving on. We're moving on. Shares plummeted after the company announced worse than expected financial results for the third quarter. I believe we've already talked about Carvana on this podcast and my thoughts. Well, I think it's wonderful. The children want to do it.

[00:59:40] I just can't buy a car out of a gum machine. I can't do it. I don't feel like it's too expensive of a purchase for me to be comfortable. I wish I was. And I'm it's wonderful to me that the children are comfortable doing that.

[00:59:53] Great, you save yourself that whole bullshit that we all people put up with. There might fall to a dollar stock. I mean, and then here's the reason to a $1. They reported revenue of three point three billion down 22.7 percent and about three million dollars lower than analysts estimates.

[01:00:18] They lost the company had lost two two dollars and sixty seven cents per share compared to a loss of 38 from the same period a year ago. Retail units sold were they've only sold 102,000 cars. The total gross profit per unit was 3,500 bucks. That's all they're profiting after what?

[01:00:39] The gum ball machine total gross profit was three hundred fifty nine million dollars down from thirty one point four percent a year ago. The rising cost of borrowing money and overall uncertainty about the economy are hurting auto retailers right now since they can't offer cheap loans to customers.

[01:00:57] Well, that's part of it. But I also think like I went online the last time we talked about this story and I read a bunch of reviews and a lot of them are not good. And that's the thing about the children. Once you're out, you're out.

[01:01:14] You don't get back in there. Good graces. If you want to get back in there, good graces, you have to like give them a car and then they'll go, OK, well, I'll say if I like this one, which good for them.

[01:01:23] But CEO and co-founder of Carvana Ernie Garcia, it's him and his dad. Remember the Garcia brothers? Stated that the used car tailors is prepping for lower demand and higher deprecation. No, I'm not saying that right. Depreciation. They had an earnings call.

[01:01:39] We are planning to be we're planning our bill. We are building our plans around the assumption that next year is a difficult one in our industry and the economy as a whole. This Carvana stock immediately crashed after the earners report when the company

[01:01:52] had its worst trading day ever by falling 39 percent. They've lost billions. The 52 week range of the stock, six fifty to three hundred four dollars. Right. It's uncommon to see a stock trading in the 300s to go to single digit. See what it is now.

[01:02:13] As the as the big deal of a chance. It is. What's our stock today? Today, seven. Well, now here's the thing. I'm no Jim Kramer. I'm a comedian who likes hot sauce. I'm not going to tell you we're going to talk about the FTX guy,

[01:02:41] that little guy too, next week. And there's a lot of crypto people that could be in a lot of trouble for doing those ads. Tom Giselle, keep going. Um, all right, we're going to do a couple of things before we get out of here.

[01:02:57] I don't know how you feel about this. Coors light. Nope, you come out with a strong no. Me too. I don't love it. I want to like it. I just don't make ultra Bud Light, Miller Light. And then I don't care.

[01:03:21] Well, then I'll move on to something real. Not Coors Light? No, no, it's not my thing, but it was my brother-in-law's mat forever. Then he switched. I don't know what Coors Light, new nail polish changes color if your beer is cold enough to drink.

[01:03:40] No, I will totally drink it. Now you'll do it. Yes. Well, I wonder if it works on all beer. Fact, no one likes warm beer. With the holiday parties season already in full swing, Coors Light has invented a new

[01:03:52] way for beer drinkers to temperature check their glass of beer to avoid an unpleasant surprise. Well, OK, who at Christmas parties handing out warm beer? Option one, touch the glass of beer with your finger. But where's the fun in that?

[01:04:08] If nail polish isn't your thing, Coors Light already has a famous color. Oh yeah, they're color changing beer cans that feature the San Juan mountains that switch from white to blue when the beer reaches optimal drinking temperature, which the brand says is 42 degrees Fahrenheit.

[01:04:22] Coors Light should always be served as cold as the Rockies that the company they co-develop its seven dollar chill polish. I'm going to get it. I don't it's not only a pitch to women because guys wear nail polish now too.

[01:04:37] Coors Light is targeting any beer drinkers who prefer. What do I do? I take it and I touch the glass or the can. Non-returnable. Blue is a smart gender neutral color. I don't understand how it works. So I put the finger nail polish on my fingers,

[01:05:04] then I hold the beer and then it changes colors. Seems like a lot of work when I could just taste the beer and go, God, that's hot beer. Who's serving hot beer at a Christmas party? Bad. This is crazy.

[01:05:28] First of all, did you guys know on self mysteries is on as a new show again? On Netflix, I didn't. I loved it. I did too. I did do it in the old ones again. Well, that guy's dead, I think. The host, the original host.

[01:05:41] He was freaky. That's why it was awesome. Yeah, he was as freaky as the show. The enduring mystery of the 1994 Lake Michigan UFO incident. They're going to do a whole thing. I never heard of it. So get a load of this.

[01:05:56] On March 8, 1994, residents living along the shore of Lake Michigan witnessed one of the most widespread UFO sightings in history. Bright multicolor orbs appeared over water, appeared over the water and could be seen as far south as the Indiana state line dancing erratically across the night sky. Hold on.

[01:06:18] Local police were overwhelmed with people calling to try to report the flying objects in total dispatchers received over 300 calls from concerned citizens, citizens, the National Weather Service later confirmed the president presence of large objects in the sky over the lake. Objects that they were certain were not planes.

[01:06:36] Then they were gone, vanished without a trace. However, despite dozens of witness interviews, no explanation has ever been given regarding the lights, which are now the subject of an episode of Netflix on self mysteries. Yep. I've got you. These are some of the calls.

[01:06:53] I've got UFOs in my backyard, Cindy Pravda of Grand Haven, Michigan told a friend over the phone and this is the same day. According to the free press, she was one of the hundreds of people that saw

[01:07:04] the collection of five or six glowing orbs above orbs above Lake Michigan. More than two decades after the event, she still remembered it clearly. I watched them for a half an hour. Wow, they stayed. Wow. Where I'm facing them, the one on the far left moved off.

[01:07:19] It moved to the highway and then came back in the same position. The one to the right was gone in the blink of an eye and then eventually everything disappeared quickly. It wasn't it wasn't only the residents of Grand Haven who saw the lights either.

[01:07:31] Similar accounts were given by people in Holland. I know we're Holland, Michigan is 22 miles away. Among the Holland witnesses were Darryl and Holly Graves and their son, Joey. I saw six lights out the window above the barn across the street.

[01:07:45] I went to get up on the sofa and look, they were red and white and moving. Sightings reported on Lake all from Leadington, Michigan, all the way down to Indiana State 200 miles away. Calls were coming in not only to the police, but to the Michigan chapter of what?

[01:08:01] Mufon. I've joined Mufon when I was in high school. The mutual UFO network, a volunteer nonprofit founded in 1969. I felt good because I was like a volunteer. If anything UFO happens, I'm available. To help you do get a pin.

[01:08:17] Yeah, you make a small donation, you know, whatever you can afford. It's the world's oldest and largest civil is a civilian UFO research investigation. You get a newsletter back in the day. Now I'm sure it's all online.

[01:08:29] Well, it's certainly strange for such a large number of people to report the same phenomenon, perhaps the most compelling evidence regarding the incident came from the observations of a radar operator for the National Weather Service. One Holland police officer heard statements from numerous witnesses, all of

[01:08:47] who described exactly what Pravda and the Graves family saw, bright, flashing, moving orbs, seemingly random directions. And then the guy called a meteorologist. Their conversation was published a year after the event. It's been made public throughout the call. They discussed the mundane explanations for the unheard, including

[01:09:07] was it a nearby radio or tar with newly installed lights and that and that? At one point he said he saw three, sometimes four blips and they weren't planes. Plains so this guy's saying no, it's not a plane. He revealed that when he found out his phone

[01:09:24] call with had been recorded, he was terrified. People might think he was a freak. Just people think might you're a kook or lying or not credible. I'm supposed to be a scientist. This is a weather service guy. There was no simple explanation for what he'd seen.

[01:09:36] He went down the line of technical glitches and weather phenomenon. Yet nothing lined up with came up on a screen screen. So I want to watch that episode. Yes, I wonder why they always go over water. I've never saw one at the Lake of the Ozarks.

[01:09:53] Maybe we have too many docks and too many lights. Right? The blue lights are the best. All right, termites, we are going to close out. I feel good story. Ready? This makes me super proud because it's the zoo I grew up going to. St. Louis Zoo.

[01:10:17] Well, it's so great. We had Marlon Perkins as our Marlon Perkins, Rachel Vomitha, he was our zookeeper till he forever like for years. We had the bet we have the bet and it's free. St. Louis Zoo is free.

[01:10:32] Like when I went on the road, I go to other people's zoos and I'm like, what you want 25 hours? And then some of them were terrible. Kansas City. I'm just saying back in the day, I haven't been there in a while.

[01:10:45] You know who's got a really good one? Omaha, San Diego, Seattle. I do judge by your zoo. Rocky LePort used to do a funny thing about that. I think it was the Kansas City. He's like, I'm not sure it was a zoo.

[01:10:59] I think it was just like animals that were like there. And then they put, you know, a fence up and they were like, yeah, that's how raccoon. The St. Louis Zoo. Home of Marlon Perkins. It's great. It's a great zoo.

[01:11:20] This is one of my first over Mike jokes. I don't want to sue her. I don't want to say the St. Louis Zoo is awesome, but I'd put it up against Africa. I think all those people.

[01:11:33] The St. Louis Zoo announces the birth of a adorable endangered leaf monkey. Leaf monkey? I'd never seen one. And now I want one. Oh, they have pumpkin colored hair. Yeah, the pumpkin haired for a baby was born right in time for Halloween. Oh, he was born.

[01:11:53] He was born on my birthday. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know why they're just telling us about it now, but the St. Louis Zoo announced the birth of its first ever François Langer and endangered species also known as a leaf monkey.

[01:12:07] So now one month old rhubarb was born September 30th. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In its primate canopy trails area, the Missouri zoo posted on Facebook. Zookeepers cared for the little one till her mother, Dolly, 16 years old, was healthy enough to take over the world.

[01:12:23] Wait till you see this thing. It's like a monkey. If a monkey had the eyes of a cat. Oh, cool. Well, the roundness of a cat. It's the cutest thing ever. Now, I don't know if it's like the other ones we talk about in this

[01:12:38] podcast where, you know, you get them in gangs and then they start attacking people and shit. I don't know. I don't really trust monkeys, but this thing. Rhubarb's birth is part of an Association of Zoos and Aquarium Species Survival Plan, which works to maintain a healthy population of

[01:12:53] François Langers in North American Zoo. Dolly's been a phenomenal mother and throughout the birth and through the benefit of her having a great relationship with the keeper staff has been incredibly accommodating to the support of care that she and rhubarb need to get back on track.

[01:13:11] It's the cutest thing. Somebody said it looked like Prince Harry. Now, that would be a toy stuffed animal with sails through the roof. So you know what the same zoo will do? Because we're smart like that. We're good with merch.

[01:13:24] They will make a stuffed rhubarb and they will sell. They will sell rhubarb in the gift shop. Take the train. There's a wonderful little train for kids. Yeah. Where do you see a picture of one, though? We'll put it in the show notes.

[01:13:37] A leaf monkey had never heard of it. It's the cutest thing ever. Yeah, that's the good news. That's a feel good story. Yes, feel good. Move on to our minds. All right, I have to go to Spokane, Washington. El Cajon. Yeah. And then

[01:13:57] let's just look before I sign out and say good night. I'm going to read where else I'm going. Well, here's the thing. I'm off till I am tired. I mean, I'm excited to do the last show.

[01:14:14] So and El Cajon and Riverside for whatever reason, I would not think I would you know, sell those shows out and you're going to Charleston, West Virginia. I'm going to. This is all after January in January. In January. Charleston, West Virginia. And then here we come, Florida.

[01:14:36] Fort Pierce, Florida. Coral Springs, Florida. Fort Myers, Florida. Oh, that's my mom and dad. Oh, I got to check and see if that venue is open. That was a private thought. The hurricane. Well, my mom and dad are just north. They'll drive down.

[01:14:57] Trust me, them and their friends will figure that out. Then St. Petersburg or Lando. Look at me getting to go to Florida in January. Nice. Lewis, where are you going? I think it's Montana, North Dakota. Did you say Fargo?

[01:15:17] Lewis, Duluth, you if you want to have fun as a termite. And you know, I say this with love. Go to Lewis Black schedule and look at January, February and March. He thinks he may die in a snowdrift and I don't disagree.

[01:15:33] I think their bus could break down and they're going to turn into the Donner Party and I don't know who's going to get eaten first, but I guarantee you, Lou's going to do the eating. He is not going to be left out there

[01:15:44] starved because food is his main concern in life. And then Ben Salem to Parks Casino. I love that gig. And then Las Vegas and that's Scottsdale and Nashville and New Orleans. It just keeps going and going and going. So anyway, Torbets,

[01:16:02] I've got to go pack because here's my packing challenge. There's going to be heavy snow in Spokane, heavy, heavy. And then I'll go to San Diego and it's going to be 80. And then the then they'll look at me when I get off the plane in San Diego,

[01:16:18] like, hey, Frick is a way to not read a weather app. What's with all the clues? And then a Riverside and then, you know, wherever. All right, Termites, you are now officially winter termites. Your Christmas termites we've moved on. Thanksgiving is done. We're moving on to Christmas termites.

[01:16:37] Holiday termites for my Jewish friends too. Not just Christmas. I just forget about that. Yeah, you can buy tickets for Christmas presents. How easy is that? Boom. And we will see you termites down the road and we'll see you next week. And enjoy the Dollymovie. Enjoy the Dollymovie.

[01:16:57] And we'll do it all right. That's it.
