Episode 116: A Christmas Bigfoot, Militant Turkeys, & New Benefits of Bacon

[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 to Episode 116. The pub is open. So many things. It's- there's a lot going on.

[00:00:31] A lot going on. Um, well with everything. I don't even know where to start. Well, what am I drinking? I'm drinking an IPA that was brought to me in Riverside, California backstage.

[00:00:42] Well, I lost the card. So whoever brought even par IPA like Quinta, it's made in Palm Springs. Thank you. Yeah, it's delicious. Um, so that's what we're drinking. Um, and where have we been? Spokane?

[00:00:57] Sp- and they even put that in the all over the casino. It's pronounced Spokane. Like, are people running around saying Spokane? I guess. Um, what worst travel weekend ever? Really? Yeah. Oh my god. It- 15 hours door to door, Nash.

[00:01:16] Yes! There was a freak snowstorm in the northwest. Like, it snows in the mountains, but they all say it doesn't snow down there. Well, Spokane was not prepared for ten inches of snow.

[00:01:25] Seattle, I landed and I'm like, are you kidding me? Did I- do we fly all the way to Calgary? Like, this is- the snow was crazy. Thankfully there was a bar across from the gate because they were like,

[00:01:37] oh, don't leave. We did the carrot thing all day. We're going to leave in 45 minutes. Don't go too far. We might leave in like seven minutes and that, but the World Cup was on.

[00:01:45] So at least I was able to pass it down. And that is why I leave and make the opening act leave a day early just in case of those things. But for the last weekend on the road, I was not prepared for that.

[00:01:56] But the casino was fabulous. Northern Quest, if you're up that way and the people there were super nice and the crowd was bananas great. And then El Cajon even- that crowd was even better. And then Riverside. So the Crescios were great.

[00:02:10] The travel was just but. In the back of the Northern Quest Casino, they have this whole, well, I don't know, it looks like an outdoor arena for summer concerts and super cool, but there was- it was like ten inches of snow.

[00:02:21] All I saw were giant- there's a giant Bigfoot. And all this stuff in the- it's like winter wonderland, there's a penguin on skis. It's on the Instagram video. But the Bigfoot, they weren't finished doing it because

[00:02:33] they weren't expecting to be snowed in. The Bigfoot will be popping out of a Christmas package, which is just- I love that they embrace it. They're all in. They don't think- I feel- I'm amongst my people there when it comes to the belief in Bigfoot.

[00:02:48] They're all in. Yeah, yeah. Even if they're using it to make money, who cares? It's there. They support it. They're spending an entire ton of money to build this giant thing in Bigfoot's honor. Love it. He could have been bigger though.

[00:03:02] I'm just shouting out to Northern Quest Casino next year. He could be bigger, right? It was huge, but it could be a lot- like could be bigger. And San Diego, which is alcohol, but me and Michael flew down there.

[00:03:21] I've never seen a line that long to rent a car. Just had- it looked like goddamn Disney World. And I'm like, I don't understand why everybody's renting a car. You flew to San Diego, you're here.

[00:03:30] Isn't this what you were doing? San Diego? But I mean you do need one to get to SeaWorld and Hoopti High and Lottie Law, I guess.

[00:03:37] I don't know. It did move fast, but I mean when you're that tired to walk out and see that, you're like, holy shit. And then Riverside. My agency, one of the best assistants in the whole world, Sage.

[00:03:53] And her friend Care- yeah, yeah, but that's how I know her through work and I never got to meet her.

[00:04:01] It's like the Wizard of Oz. Yeah, it was like the little Wizard of Oz. And let me tell you what. In any agency, it's the assistants that have the true power.

[00:04:10] It is because they're on top of everything. They know everything. Sage is more competent than probably 90% of the people working there. Okay, I'm kidding you, Tia. I don't mean 90%. At least 10 though, at least. And she had a friend Carey with her and that was fun.

[00:04:27] So fun weekend. Now, what are we tasting? Well, somebody brought this to me in Welsh, Minnesota and I forgot today's it. There's been a lot going on, but very busy. The original top of the Tater Sour Cream Chive Onion Dip, which I do love an onion dip.

[00:04:42] Who does it? Yeah. Let's see. Wow. Good? That's really good. Nice. I can't see where it's made though. I can't read it. St. Paul, Minnesota. Oh, nice. Yep. Mid America Farms. The original top of the Tater. Well done. And an honor World Cup.

[00:05:06] Which by the way, I watched the Korean game yesterday against Brazil. I mean, I felt bad for the Koreans. Like there should be a way where you get to resign or quit.

[00:05:21] I mean, finally Korea, it was one to nothing, two to nothing, three to nothing. It was like watching Brazil play a St. Louis high school team.

[00:05:31] But I'm like, well they must not be horrible. They made it this far. Maybe I don't know if Brazil is just that good or if Korea is that bad or somewhere in the middle.

[00:05:41] But I don't know. A Korean scored the goal in the second half so he can tell his grandkids I scored a goal against Brazil. So one guy's happy, but I mean, four nothing. These are World Cup potato chips in honor.

[00:05:57] Lay's jalapeno poppers. Now you know my feelings. Bacon wrapped. Oh, bacon wrapped. Yeah. You know my feelings on doing this. I don't think you should mess with greatness, but wow. I've never okayed a Lay's potato chip outside the original. I'm okay in these.

[00:06:17] No. Yes. They're really good. I give that an A plus. Whoa. Yeah. And then, huh? Well, these were brought backstage. I have notes on this stuff. Sasquatch surprise potato chips. See they don't give up. That's why I love them.

[00:06:38] Smokey hand is where I met Carlita and Lynn. The Gonzaga gang up there and Sandy made me goldfish and she seasoned herself. They were delicious. I ate all of them. They're gone.

[00:06:51] I can't even show you those. I'm seeing if I know who brought these Sasquatch things. I don't. But anyway, Tim's and here's Bigfoot extra thick and crunchy gluten free. All I can send them to my sister after I eat half the bag.

[00:07:06] Wow. Hashtag we are PNW Pacific Northwest. How funny would it be if I ate three, four of those bags and mailed the rest of my sister? Just mailed it. Or just an empty bag. Yeah. Hey look, here's your gluten free chips. All right. Enjoy four of them.

[00:07:27] So thank you to everybody who came. They were also sold out. Still fun. Made money. Have fun. Thank you. A little time off. Yes. A little time off with a lot of still work to be done, but not road work.

[00:07:40] At least it's home in my pajamas with baby cat. So that's great. They did not like me being gone that long. How's your tree? My Christmas tree is great. My brother's is pathetic.

[00:07:54] He went out of town to his wife's family on the east coast and it's now you got to buy him before Thanksgiving. Because if you wait and you get back for the big ones anyway, the big ones are gone.

[00:08:07] And he just moved to a bigger house and his trees keep getting smaller. It looks like he's doing a reverse miniature. It's so tiny they had to build a platform for the train. Yes. He waited too long. Lesson learned Patrick. He's Mr. Christmas.

[00:08:23] He is Mr. Christmas. I know. So it's going to be, he's Mr. Christmas from the outside, but then on the inside. Epic fail. Then he's miniature Christmas. He's tiny Christmas. He's tiny Christmas. You have to go if you want a real one and you want a big one.

[00:08:38] I'm telling you that is true everywhere I've been. And I don't know why. And then somebody told me at one of the tree lots, Norm's, that they don't have enough help to cut the trees down.

[00:08:50] That's part of the problem. I don't know if there's more to the problem, but that's the part of them where off. I got a purple flocked one. You got a purple flock. I saw one of those. Wow. I don't know if I could break the tradition.

[00:09:04] I've seen the red ones and then I think that's a little satanic. You know, I, but not it's a Christmas color. The purple is weird. I like the flocking. I flock a wreath. Yeah. That's a Libra sensible decision.

[00:09:18] I like the flock tree, but I don't think I can commit to it, but I can commit to a flocked wreath that's white on the door with a red ribbon. But there's a unicorn in my living room. Well, a purple, my niece would like it. She loves purple.

[00:09:31] You can have it. A purple. I'll get another one. Well, you could get a small one and flock it. No, they only flock big ones. That's ridiculous if they'll do the wreath. Why not do this small one? I'm not in charge of that.

[00:09:48] All right, we're moving on to Queen news. Well, first on a sad note, Christine McVie died of Fleetwood Mac. That's when I was sitting in the Seattle airport and it was trending Christine McVie and I went, Oh no, because she never trends. No. Because she's quiet.

[00:10:05] Normal. She seems to be a normal person. Yeah, they don't say what a short illness, but this is where people, then of course she ties with short illness. Everybody's like, I'm actually died of the vaccine. Right? All the people that say she died of the vaccine.

[00:10:20] Could we all just remember she was 80? Yeah. 79 soon to be 80. Like you, like my mom says the flu can kill you at that age. Just the regular old flu could kill you. pneumonia could kill you when, when Lewis a long time ago got pneumonia.

[00:10:35] I Googled pneumonia and people over 65. Holy shit. You don't even want to Google that. So who knows what you died of, but it was very sad. Even though Stevie's my favorite now the chain is broken. Oh, that's right. I said it. The chain is broken.

[00:10:51] There can never be Fleetwood Mac again because we could exchange the bass player or the guitar, but we could exchange John McVie. We could exchange, you can't exchange Mick, Christine or Stevie. Those are the three to that really, I mean you could,

[00:11:05] but I don't think as many people will go. And it's not the same. We could switch our friend Dax for cheap trick. He could leave cheap trick and switch out for Mick Fleetwood. Yeah. Yeah. And he has a voice he can sing. Yeah. Mac doesn't sing at all.

[00:11:23] His drum solo would be better. His drum solo would be better and not so self involved. Yeah. Mick Fleetwood's at last like eight hours. And then he comes out from behind the drums and plays drums on his body. He's got those things inside his shirt.

[00:11:34] And just when you think, oh good, this is over, he gets up and says, wow, my God, he's still going. So that was sad for Stevie. I'm sure she posted a sad little thing about all that. But in more exciting Queen news, Cher has a 36 year old boyfriend.

[00:11:53] No. Yeah. He's very cute. Well, I mean I always think it's bizarre when people, how many, she's 76, I'd say. 40 year difference. What do they have in common? I'm going to tell you. I'm going to tell you. He's a music executive.

[00:12:11] His name is Alexander A.E. Edwards, which sounds way too much like A.G. Edwards. Yeah. But I guess that doesn't bother him. He's very cute. She confirmed the relationship on Twitter while defending his quote intentions.

[00:12:26] She recently shared a photo of Alexander sitting in his underwear with the caption, A.E. hanging out. I think it's ridiculous to date somebody 40 years younger than you. I mean, I can barely talk to people in their 20s without really just going, yeah, I gotta go.

[00:12:45] But dudes do this all the time. So to even out the playing field, I'm glad one lady is admitting it and doing it. And reply to a Twitter user asking for relationship advice. She said that A.E. came after me till we met in the middle

[00:13:02] and is the consistent partner in their relationship where she is the skittish partner. Ladies never give up. She wrote also saying he's different for me. Neither one wanted to make long trip and then she uses a lot of emojis which she tweets and then there's an airplane.

[00:13:20] Trip to Paris, then Paris was magic. Nebi, oh never. She meant never wanted to, I don't know, something must say he's different for me. He's kind, smart and hilarious. They kiss like teenagers on paper. This looks strange even to me. She wrote this separate tweet.

[00:13:44] Alexander believes love doesn't know math. Well, here's the other one they always say. Love doesn't know math and then they always go but he's an old soul. She's an old soul. Every guy that I know that's old that's dating someone super duper young

[00:13:59] goes, yeah but Kathleen she's a really old soul. If that's what you need to tell yourself why don't you just say the truth? You'd rather go out with somebody smoking hot than somebody that's 70. Even though there's pretty 70 year olds but they're harder to find.

[00:14:15] Hard to find and they don't give a shit anymore. I love him because he wasn't afraid. He's kind, hilarious, smart, talented. We laugh for perfectly matched. Do I wish I was younger? Yeah, but I'm not boo fucking who. These are her words. Not mine. Okay. Good for her.

[00:14:36] Let's even the score. You know how many of these old guys are running around doing this every single day? Every day. Other Queen news. I did watch Dolly's special magical mountain crispy. It's everything you would expect.

[00:14:56] But the moment where she's singing, she's in an all red outfit singing, singing Satan go straight to hell on NBC and then there's a guy playing Satan. It's so cheesy. It's wonderful. And then her great-grand-nephew Liam which is Stella's grandson I think. Yeah for sure. Adorable little kid.

[00:15:20] So she's got the family in it. Yeah it's not a deep plot line. I'm like, but this is where I'm like with NBC, you have Dolly, could we write just a little bit of a story? Anybody? We know she wants to sing her songs.

[00:15:37] I love too that she just plugs this shit out of her own stuff. Dollywood, Dollywood, I'm like good for you which I have bought tickets to Dollywood. I want to see the lights. There's over six million Christmas lights. Yeah I'm going to make Dorf go. Oh boy. Yep.

[00:15:55] You know what Dorf? I know you're Jewish even though he doesn't really practice it. You're going to practice being a Christian this week and I'm going to make him go down there and I'm going to go make him go to the old smoky moonshine distillery

[00:16:09] before Dollywood and after because I'm betting there's no alcohol in Dollywood so we're going to have to... There's ways to mule that in. I'm not getting kicked out of Dollywood. I'm just going to go have a couple shots of moonshine. That would be epic.

[00:16:29] So there's different news though with Dolly. Oh she's going to host New Year's Eve with Miley Cyrus. Fun. That's her goddaughter. And then Billy Ray was in the Dolly movie and I think Miley and Billy are fighting. So whose side does Dolly take here?

[00:16:52] He's dating a child too. We can't say child. I can get you for that. A very young lady. It's not a real child. Well not that Billy is listening to this but one never knows. What if he's got a Google alert on his name or something?

[00:17:13] No, I think because he's dating somebody way younger. I don't mind Miley doesn't like it. They shared identical posts saying New Year's Eve co-host Dolly Parton. Dolly wished a wrecking ball singer a happy birthday. She can't wait to celebrate with her or bring in the new year.

[00:17:29] For a woman who's 76 years old she certainly works a lot. So if you guys want to watch that, if you got nothing to do on New Year's Eve, I hate going out on New Year's Eve. I hate it. Amateur hour. Yeah and we don't work.

[00:17:48] It's too hard to sell theater tickets so I'm usually off unless it's a casino gig. Which is absolutely fine too. I can drink any night of the year with zero repercussions so I'll probably be home watching it. Yes. It'll be fun. Yeah.

[00:18:03] Something better than I can't watch Anderson Cooper. No. No and then the other, I don't know, the other ones, I'd rather just watch a Christmas movie or something. Speaking of what are we watching, I'd rather watch The End of Yellowstone. Yeah.

[00:18:20] But can we just talk about the amount of commercials in Yellowstone? It's ridiculous. It's beyond ridiculous. I mean the show itself is probably only 18 minutes long. There are so many commercials. I thought we were kind of done with that. Yeah. Why don't people do more product placement?

[00:18:34] Especially if you're paying for the service. Yes, you're paying for it and now I'm getting ads. It's like they hoodwinked us. I know. Yeah but I don't know how to un-pay. And then I want to watch George and Tammy about Tammy Winnett and George Jones.

[00:18:48] But that guy doesn't look like George Jones at all. I'm going to really have to suspend all ideas because he just, I know that guy from some other show too and he's a fine actor but it just doesn't. He was in something. He was the dad in the-

[00:19:08] I'll find out. Okay. Moving on. Update! That's Anna Delvy. Oh! She's throwing an art basal pot featuring her art from House of Rest. Okay, I had to Google. I had to Google what is art basal? Do you know what it is? Well, it's an art something.

[00:19:35] They have shows in like Hong Kong. They're for profit. So it's a group that does these shows and they always have one in Miami. So she was doing hers virtually. From scam artist to actual artist. Fraudster. Stop saying fraudster. Say thief liar.

[00:19:55] Yeah, it just minimizes liar thief Anna Delvy. Sorokin is virtually hosting an exclusive art basal Miami party that will feature artwork she created while at House of Rest. So after serving four years in prison, she's teaming up with New York based gallery,

[00:20:13] the locker room to throw the House of Rest party for art collectors at a private residence in Miami according to a press release. The 31 year old swindler. That's another bullshit word. Thief! God!

[00:20:26] Who's currently serving off serving House of Rest and her East Village apartment will be doing a live Q&A with attendees via Zoom. This thing though marked my words. Anna, this is gonna fade. This whole thing is gonna fade because it was interesting for a minute.

[00:20:42] And then people are like, nah, like the her little drawings are fine. But no, I mean, I could fire up 10 people that could do better. But okay. Additionally, her masterpieces created after she served time will be displayed at the FET party and are available for purchase.

[00:21:04] An insider that could be a lie told page six at one of her pieces, prowling in Prada has already pre-sold for $15,000. There's a lot of excitement. When is immigration shipping her out? When? I gotta Google that. Write a letter. Contact your congressman. Contact my congressman about this?

[00:21:24] I don't know who my congressman is. I'll make you Google it. No, I guarantee you 99% of people in this country can't say who their congressman is. I could tell you who my bartender is. I could tell you who my dry cleaning lady is.

[00:21:37] I could tell you the ladies that work at the post office, but I can't tell you who my congressman is. Not in either state, not Missouri or Tennessee. Update! Trader update. It's a short one. I know these bore you, paddles. No, they don't bore me. I'm happy they're...

[00:21:57] All the oath keepers leader, Stuart Rhodes, found guilty of seditious conspiracy in the January 6th attack. The only reason this one's super important is he was the guy with the patch on his eye. He was the famous one. He was the big deal. He was the fire.

[00:22:11] Seducious conspiracy, though, hasn't been tried since in 10 years, and it's hardly ever, ever even charged. Is that what takes so long? I guess. Rhodes and Ford, four co-defendants. All these women. Jessica Watkins, Kelly Maggs, Thomas Caldwell and Ken Harrison were convicted.

[00:22:29] Maggs was the only other defendant found guilty of seditious conspiracy. The oath keepers' right-wing extremist militia group seeks to defend its interpretation of the U.S. Constitution against perceived enemies if necessary by force according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Yeah.

[00:22:50] The last time the government won a guilty verdict on this charge was during the 1995 prosecution of Islamic militants who plotted to bomb New York City landmarks. Mm-hmm. Until now, the Justice Department has not tried as the dishes conspiracy case defined

[00:23:05] as opposing the government of the United States by force in a decade. It's a big deal. He could go up for 20 years, I think, is what I read at the end, and I hope it's a while because he does not regret anything. He's sticking to his guns.

[00:23:18] So we'll see how far sticking to your guns takes you. Won't we? Won't we? Now, holy shit, we found it. I really only have one good one. A lot of people weren't thinking for stuff this week. No. Maybe it's the holidays. It's the holidays.

[00:23:33] Maybe, yeah, we're not really... I know where to look for these, too. I mean, they just come up on my phone because now the phone knows that I want them. Medieval coin discovered in Canada, Pettles! Yes! Could rewrite the history books. This is crazy.

[00:23:48] Can I just state for the record, too, that this guy had a metal detector and I bought my mom a metal detector one year. One of the first years they went to Florida for the winter, which was probably 10 or 15 years ago. And she was just so gung-ho.

[00:24:03] She had to have this stupid fucking metal detector. And they're not cheap. It was like a thousand bucks or something. It was a lot. A good one because if you're going to do it, might as well buy a good one.

[00:24:15] Otherwise, you're just going to be beeping for nothing out there the whole time. But anyway, this guy... And then I don't even know where it went. Nor does she. I'm like, how do you lose a metal detector, mom?

[00:24:25] Well, you know, when we did this and that and we moved in... No! I think she sold it. To a human in person, not on eBay. She wouldn't know how to do that. She probably, yeah. She probably cashed it in at the casino.

[00:24:42] How much would you give me for this? The casino should do that. Old people would be wandering in there with all kinds of stuff every day. The government of Newfoundland and Labrador has revealed the oldest known coin ever discovered in Canada

[00:24:54] has been unearthed on one of the provinces' beaches. Dating back to 1422 through 27, it puts into question historians understandings of when Europeans arrived in Canada with ancient origins declaring it could rewrite the history books. Yeah. Every year Columbus just could take further down a notch.

[00:25:14] Dude, there were so many people here before you. They just didn't run back to Spain and Queen Isabella. Look, I found it. She doesn't know those other guys in there. There's no Twitter. There is no texting. You're just taking this guy's word for it. Yeah, this is scroll.

[00:25:30] Yeah. The English coin. Yeah, what about Lee Farrickson? He doesn't get any credit. The English coin was discovered by metal detectorist. I did not know that was a word. Edward Hines during the summer of 2022 took him a bit to realize what he had. He told Saltwire Network.

[00:25:45] It was so bright, yellow and really thin, and I wasn't thinking it was a gold coin. I was thinking it was almost like a tag from something or a button or something like that. I knew it was something cool. It looked interesting to me, but of course,

[00:25:56] I know nothing about English medieval coins. Yeah, who would? Is that something that I would have looked into before and I knew nothing of hammered coins? First thing I noticed was the Fleur de Lee, which is also the symbol of St. Louis,

[00:26:08] St. Louis City, Missouri, so memory on. And then the shield, and I thought it was interesting. I just didn't know what the writing said because it was in Latin. Well, we could have given it to my brother Patrick. He's a Latin scholar, number one person

[00:26:21] in the state of Missouri when he was a teenager. How exciting! It was very exciting and shocking because there were other areas where Patrick was not excelling. So I'm like, wow, look at him hitting it out of the park on Latin.

[00:26:34] And then one time we went to my cousin's wedding and it's at a Catholic church and the whole roof was all Latin and murals of my sister goes, is it crazy Patrick can read all that? I'm like, yeah, it's crazy.

[00:26:48] He sent a picture of it to his wife and he put it in his bag. He said, he wound up contacting the provincial governor as mandated under the Historic Resources Act. Now see, that's a good Canadian. He did what your, rule follower.

[00:27:02] If you find weird shit, you call us. You don't go put it on eBay. You don't go put it on Craigslist, which is what an American would do in a hot minute. We would make a stamp with his name on it.

[00:27:11] Yeah, this guy should get his own stamp for doing that. The legislation gives province ownership of historical artifacts found within its borders and ensures the identification, protection and rehabilitation of archeological, paleontological and cultural heritage sites in the province. And a press released, they said

[00:27:28] they commend Mr. Harts for recognizing the importance of protecting Newfoundland and Labrador's heritage. Resources by reporting his discovery of the history of the city. Very rare artifact and I encourage others to follow his example. These types of artifacts help us understand and appreciate history, blah, blah, blah.

[00:27:43] He'll get the order of Canada. He will get the order of Canada and he should get the order of Canada. My friend, Jan Arden, got the order of Canada. Nice. Yeah. That's great. I don't think any of my comedian friends have got that. Not yet. No. Jeremy Hott's?

[00:27:57] No. Mike Wilmot? No. Lars. Who's the one? Lars, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well. I don't know. I don't know. He's a Canadian, more of an actor. Well, he's a comedic actor, standups. There's somebody I'm forgetting a big guy that I'm

[00:28:17] forgetting. Anyway. Oh, Tom Green. Yeah. Tom's great. I love Tom. He moved back to Canada. Lars should get it. Lars? Lars Carr has like a half a million miles on him. Yeah. He's driven all over Canada. Okay. According to Paul Berry, former curator with the Bank of

[00:28:38] Canada's Currency Museum in Ottawa, Ontario, the coin is a King Henry VI quarter noble minted sometime between 1422 and 27 at the time it was worth a fair sum of money. One shilling in eight pence. In an interview, the guy said it came out of the

[00:28:51] ground looking like it had been minted yesterday. While he refused to reveal the exact location, given its age and the fact that the site is not an active dig, he said he did say it was discovered in a beach. Oh, he went in because of the metal debt.

[00:29:04] Near a registered archaeological site that dates back to the 1700s. As mentioned, the coins discovery puts into question the current understanding when Europeans traveled across the Atlantic Ocean and settled in North America. The accepted history is at North, North's explorer

[00:29:19] Leif Erickson was the first one to visit over a thousand years ago in 1000 AD. This was proven after evidence of a North settlement that was discovered. We've talked about this on this podcast at Lons Omedos. Probably saying that wrong. Following Erickson, the next recorded European

[00:29:36] explorer to arrive in Newfoundland was John Cabot in 1497. Wow. Okay, so how did this coin from 1422 get there then? Exactly. Is somebody even 1497 carrying around a coin that old in his pocket? Nope. I doubt it. Nope. Just under 100 years later in 1583, the prophets came under English possession and

[00:29:54] fishing operations were established along its coast. The gold coin predates Cabot's expedition by 170 years, right? And is older than half the grot coin discovered at the beach of something-something. So they're saying it should however be noted that those who have zambian in the coin don't believe

[00:30:11] it was in circulation at the time it was lost meaning that while it predates Cabot's discovery of Newfoundland it doesn't mean it arrived in the province earlier than him. Well, why would somebody be dragging that shit around? Yeah, nobody would.

[00:30:23] It could have been in the same collection of someone who came to North America after. Not 70 years later. No. No, maybe 10. But even that's a stretch. I don't know. I don't ever look at the year on my coins. I don't have coins anymore. Nobody has coins.

[00:30:39] Somebody wanted cash on the road. I was like, they handed me the coins back and I just had them in my hand like they were foreign rocks. I'm like, okay, is there a thing for charity? We just put up-yeah. I don't-move it on to news.

[00:30:56] This is one of my favorite stories. A troop of terrifying turkeys has been terrorizing a Massachusetts town. The turkeys led by a ringleader named Kevin have been pecking, kicking and swarming. Yeah, there's only one boy in this group. They've nicknamed him Kevin, which is also my nephew's name.

[00:31:20] No, no, no. No, Kevin's just a shit-disturber. They're all shit-disturbers. They're kicking and swarming residents of Wolburn, Massachusetts. Now, let's just say I'll read a little bit, but I think the residents could step it up a bit. It's just a turkey. It's not a cobra.

[00:31:40] It's not a Kodiak brown bear. No. The city of Wolburn, Massachusetts has struggled against a tenacious foe recently, a gang of five turkeys, five, who've harassed residents to the extent some are afraid to leave their house. Get a golf club. Get an umbrella. Just jab it.

[00:32:00] I mean, although I've seen geese attack, it's not a joke. But if you, okay, if these guys are all over the neighborhood, then maybe you need a nine iron or a driver. I'm not saying kill it, but if it's coming at ya, whack it. Some days it's frustrating.

[00:32:18] Wolburn resident Megan Tolson, remarked to the Guardian, I'll be like, oh my God, there's an Amazon package and I can't get to it because the turkeys are here. These, these, as Tolson tells it, the turkey gang is made up of four females and an aggressive male.

[00:32:37] Tolson has dubbed him Kevin. She must have had a boyfriend or something that she didn't like named Kevin. Why? Why that's so random? And the females, here's their name, Monica, Esther, Patricia and Gladys and says that he is the ringleader.

[00:32:52] The women are more mellow and not so territorial. But I think he kind of amps it up to get him going to chase people, but they're never the instigators. When Kevin's not around they'll just actually mind their business and walk away from you. That's what I was

[00:33:05] saying, out at the farm, there's wild turkeys everywhere. I've never had one approach me. Never. There's just giant birds walking around doing their own thing. I don't even pay, I pay more attention to geese. As far as what, if it's going to get dirty? I don't know.

[00:33:21] As CBS reports, residents of Wilburne have had a number of harrowing encounters with the turkeys who packet everything from cars to children. Many times I've been trapped in my car and I can't get out. And I have to call family members. Oh look, they

[00:33:35] usually bring an umbrella. See, it takes a team. They don't let you out of your home. They packet cars. They go after walkers and joggers or anything like that. A lot of people will leave brooms so that they can get

[00:33:47] turkeys out of the way if they want to leave their house. Because they're only active during the day and generally nest up in trees or lamp posts at night. Tulsen is even waiting till nightfall to leave her home. Wow. That's crazy. That's crazy.

[00:34:01] Well, I'm kind of adjusted to it. I know their routine now so I can kind of work around them. When I don't see them for a couple days I think, oh no, someone has run them over. I mean yeah, they can be a pain sometimes but

[00:34:13] you know, they're just turkeys. They died out in 1851 because of habitat loss. More than a century later, biologists reintroduced the birds to the state by trapping 37 turkeys in New York and released them in Massachusetts. The turkeys have thrived and now they're numbers between 30 and 35,000. Careful

[00:34:31] what you wish for. According to MassLive there are some techniques human can use to deal with the aggressive birds. For example people should not feed while turkeys and they should keep bird feeders clean. Turkeys can be scared off by loud noises like a hose spraying water

[00:34:45] and shiny objects like car doors can make them the males aggressive so they should be covered up or disguised. You want me to cover up my car doors? This has a lot of hoopty ha over a turkey. If they become aggressive,

[00:35:01] if they can become if people feed them or they find food and bird feeders and they start to see humans as part of their flock and try to dominate them. Turkey behavior starts to kick in where they become so habituated with the people that they are not really

[00:35:15] seeing the distinction. It's all about how the people respond to the turkeys. If you turn and run away, you're now subdominant and the turkey won the battle. Massachusetts, I'm going to put this one on you and say you got a man up. Yeah, a broom, a golf club.

[00:35:35] I don't know but then see this is where Lewis would go, they have to be rabid because you tell me they don't do this normally. Anytime I say something like, that's weird, squirrels don't usually do that. He immediately goes to their rabid, we're going to be eating,

[00:35:51] we're going to die of rabies in a hospital and then he explains that rabies shots are super big and terribly painful. Right, well that's never happened in our lives. No. No, Lewis, all these years no. So just simmer down. Speaking of

[00:36:07] we're going to stay on animals for a minute. This is really weird. This is do the... on some of the mystery music. I don't remember it. I still haven't watched the one that I said I was going to watch. That's terrible, it doesn't sound anything like it.

[00:36:31] Dozens of cattle slaughtered by mystery creature that left no tracks. And you know what, these ranchers don't fuck around like that. They don't lie about stuff. Dozens of cattle have been slaughtered by mystery creature in Colorado that left no tracks. In October 18 dead cows

[00:36:50] were found near the town of Meeker Steamboat pilot and today reported on Sunday. Some not all look like they could have been killed by wolves but officials from Colorado Parks and Wildlife have found no tracks or evidence of them in the air Now if you're watching Yellowstone

[00:37:06] you would know that wolves have big ass paws and leave tons of tracks but whatever is killing the cows appears to still be on the rampage since October. Oh my God as many as 40 dead cows have been found in the same area.

[00:37:22] That's now somebody told me a cow was worth $7,500. Google Google Google that how much is a cow worth? Because one of them somebody I used to work with her husband was a farmer back then it was $5,000. That was a long time ago so maybe they were $10,000.

[00:37:40] Lots of things in meat, in Montana and slaughtered slaughtered. I don't want to know how much a live cow is worth. We're raising it to slaughter it unless it's your pet. $7 a pound Well, okay what's the average poundage of a cow? $7 a pound They probably weigh 500

[00:38:06] of a cow average weight of a cow $1,000 $2,400 Okay what's $1,600 times 7? What do you mean $1,600? $1,600 times $7 a pound. Christ I've flunked math keep up why did you just make it $1,800? Because Because it's a small cow Small female What's $18 times 7? $1,600 $12,600 So we had 40 cows that were murdered It's $40,000

[00:38:53] Yeah you do that one I can't Whatever It's a half a million dollars No $504,000 $40 Okay $40,000 $1,800 No because it's only worth $12,000 $12,600 times 40 Right That's not right Whatever It's a shit ton of money That's not That can't be right $12,600 times 40 Alright Wildlife officials have done everything

[00:39:37] they can to try to find the animal They set up trail cameras and aerial flights and still found no trace of the culprit It's perplexing, it's confusing It's frustrating trying to figure out exactly what occurred in this incident We have no evidence of wolves in the area

[00:39:49] That doesn't mean they're not here But we have no evidence Further investigations of what mean Maybe killing the lives that are still underway Cows can develop a number of fatal diseases Wildlife officials believed it could be Clostridium bacteria which can cause gut distress and subsequent death in cows

[00:40:09] But veterinarians have ruled that out We're scratching our heads Although the wolves may be the cause of the death There's little evidence What we are lacking in my opinion is typical feeding behavior that we would see Typical wolves would come back and feed on a carcass

[00:40:23] The incident comes as gray wolves Slowly make a comeback to Colorado Gray wolves may be used to the state before they were completely eradicated in the 1940s So there were no wolves in the 40s until Aliens came Here's the other thing They reintroduced them to other states

[00:40:43] and then they act like the wolves No state boundaries We're only going to introduce the meerkat to Iowa Well, you know what the meerkat doesn't give a shit if he's in Missouri or Iowa or Kansas He's going to walk wherever he wants to walk

[00:40:57] Colorado is aiming to implement a wolf reintroduction program approved by voters in 2020 The plan which aims to reintroduce more wolves to the state by the end of 2023 is to be presented to the CPD This is so crazy if you've been watching Yellowstone Because it's all about the wolves

[00:41:11] Wolves sometimes migrate into Colorado from nearby states Right They are likely populations from the Northern Rockets across Montana, Idaho and Wyoming If the wolves are predators responsible for the killing it would mean they are passing through Colorado earlier than is seasonally expected The decision to reintroduce the

[00:41:31] species has not always been popular Some farmers are concerned about the wolves taking the livestock But biologists have said the reintroduction is vital for the state's ecosystem as it would restore predator prey balance in the area The presence of wolves can bring many benefits to the wild

[00:41:45] and ecosystems, their ability to thrive is directly dependent on how well they are tolerated by human populations Colorado is also home to a variety of other species such as mountain lion But officials have not confirmed whether the species is a potential suspect One mountain lion did all this?

[00:42:01] I don't think so It is not certain how many wolves are in Colorado but they've established there's as many as six In 2021 one of them gave birth to six pups In October three female wolves were found dead in Wyoming near the Colorado border Officials believe they belong to

[00:42:19] Colorado only wolf pack Unfortunately Wolves can't see boundaries and it's easy for them to cross borders into zones where they are less tolerated This has to be a federal thing You can't just go here's what we're going to do in our state and then they're all running around

[00:42:39] in different states and those people don't know they're coming If I'm a farmer and I come out and all my cows are dead I'm going to be pissed off because as we know it's a ton of money because I don't believe your math Exactly One more animal story

[00:42:55] Since we're on an animal train Don't roll your eyes paddles this is a good story The Guinness World Book Her record has named this 26 year old cat the oldest feline in the world but she still has a personality of a kitten Meow You know 26 years Wow

[00:43:15] The shit that you come up with It's her name is Flossie She lives in England, she's 26 years old which is about 120 in human years You read that You didn't do that math No I didn't do that math I would never take credit She's

[00:43:33] the oldest one alive right now over 15 years ago Cream Puff lived to be 38 years and 3 days old in 2005 Flossie's owner Vicky Green a nice young lady couldn't have been happier I knew from the start that Flossie was a special cat

[00:43:51] but I didn't imagine I'd share my home with a record world holder world record holder although Flossie is deaf and has declining eyesight No shit Well, so do my parents She looks incredibly youthful no gray hairs for her age She's still playful, curious and adaptive to her surroundings

[00:44:13] and to her early life, Flossie was formerly a stray That's really good that a stray can live this long too They have a rough go of it She's 26 Well they do A vet can look and tell you by their teeth usually She adopted Flossie

[00:44:33] in her more mature years hopes her story will inspire others to do the same by welcoming senior cats in their home I've always wanted to get a cat that's a heartwarming story I should have saved it to the end for our feel good story

[00:44:47] There's your feel good story, it's just early I'll read it again if I need to Here's another reason you're never going to see me on a cruise ship Well if you do, I've been kidnapped or Lewis Black made me do something for an extraordinary amount of money

[00:45:01] but I know It's not my thing I get why old people like it because you don't really have to do anything Just show up at the boat That's all you gotta do Get on the ship Listen to this ship My brother sent this right away too

[00:45:19] because he's fascinated by rogue waves I have a whole book on rogue waves because they're out there One person died dead Four others injured after a rogue wig hit the Viking Polaris cruise ship while it was sailing towards Argentina We confirmed that a guest passed away

[00:45:39] following the incident We're done Over a rogue wave We've notified the guest families and shared our deepest sympathies We will continue to offer full support to the family in the hours and days ahead The name of the passenger is not released but it's Argentine authorities identify her

[00:45:59] as a 62 year American who was hit by broken glass when the wave broke cabin windows Some of these waves can be 100 feet no alive but even a 60 foot wave a 30 foot wave Imagine some of the decks have little balconies like when I went with Lewis on those ones

[00:46:19] we each had a little balcony Let's say you were like oh I wonder how your view looks like and you opened that door and walked out and saw that There's a 60 foot wave Even if you go back in your room you know it's coming at ya She's only 62

[00:46:35] The other four guests had non-threatening injuries and received treatment from doctors and medical staff on board Rogue waves or extreme storm waves are uncommon unpredictable and greater than twice the size of surrounding waves They're described as a wall of water in um

[00:46:53] Susie Gooding was on the ship when the incident happened we called it she felt like they hit an iceberg That's how hard this thing Everything was fine until the rogue wave It was just sudden, shocking

[00:47:05] We didn't know if we should get our gear and get ready for a band-aiding ship The ship sustained limited damage during the incident and arrived back in port on Wednesday afternoon We are investigating the facts surrounding this incident and will offer support to relevant authorities

[00:47:19] Our focus remains a safety and well-being of our guests and we're working directly with them to arrange travel return Well one would hope Yeah Their next departure, the Antarctic Explorer cruise was scheduled for December 5th to 17th was canceled due to the incident Oh Well

[00:47:41] Yeah, maybe if they're using the same boat they gotta go fix the ship That's just enough Now you gotta think about that if you're on cruise ship I don't like cruising either But I want to get off the ship I don't like, I called the shower

[00:47:59] the Chilean minor shower I don't know how large people It's like when they pull those Chilean minors up and it's that circular thing and they were in there like a Tootsie Pop or something I don't know How do you reach your head?

[00:48:13] Well I don't know how bigger people Do that. Here's another Speaking of water, let's go on a water theme here This is unbelievable Three people found sitting on ships rudder survived an 11 day voyage from Nigeria Okay Picture one of those giant container shipping ships

[00:48:37] where all they're doing is shipping shipping containers and the rudder which is probably the size of a building Um Three dudes The Spanish Coast Guard has rescued three people who were stowed on top of the rudder of a ship that arrived in the Canary Islands from Nigeria

[00:48:55] How do you How do you not fall off of it? Like I don't need, you can have 11 days you gotta sleep and then and it's moving the rudder is moving so you just sleep, you hold on and lay down D-hydration That's when anybody complains about where you're living

[00:49:15] Is it bad enough that you would get on the rudder of a ship for 11 days? I don't think so Be happy about that In a photograph distributed by the Coast Guard on Monday, the migrants are shown perched on the rudder of the oil and chemical tanker Athena

[00:49:31] The second It arrived in Las Palmas in Gran Canaria on Monday after an 11 day voyage from Lagos It says C-A-N-A He's the print in the Hallmark movie He's the Prince of Gran Canaria Here's my complaint about Hallmark movies, Lifetime movies and Netflix Christmas movies

[00:49:53] Everybody from the props department should be fired All of them Because anytime somebody has someone a cup of coffee which is at least 20 times in these shows It's clearly empty or hot chocolate It's empty Nobody flings coffee cups around like that because the lids never work

[00:50:13] That's always empty and luggage They just fling it into the back of cars I don't know how nobody in the props department doesn't go Oh, that looked pretty fake We should put real coffee if something hot Anyway The Spanish-owned Canary Islands are popular

[00:50:33] to get away from African migrants attempting to reach Europe Spanish data shows that migration was by sea jumped 51% in the first 5 months of the year compared to a year earlier Last year more than 20,000 migrants crossed from the West African coastline

[00:50:49] to the Canary Islands according to the Red Cross More than 1,100 of those people died at sea In 2020, 4 Nigerians still ways survived 10 days at sea before they were found hidden in a compartment above the rudder of a Norwegian oil tiger that had traveled from Lagos to Las Palmas

[00:51:05] In the same year a 14-year-old Nigerian told the Spanish paper that he hid for 15 days in a room atop the rudder of a cargo ship carrying fuel and the journey They don't even have any food or water They said they got them They're okay

[00:51:25] They took them to a hospital but I mean, I don't even understand I need these guys to write a book I need to know how you did that 11 days That's crazy This is um This is crazy to me I don't want to do tons of it on here

[00:51:48] because there's enough true rhyme podcasts out there I love these chips There was a guy and I remember this because it was so random A young guy in Florida who randomly attacked his neighbors They were like in their 50s or 60s and then he ate them

[00:52:12] and when the cops arrived, he was spitting out human flesh What? Yeah, he cannibalized them Uh-huh This is not a feel good story It's not Christmas yet It's the season Cannibalism cannibalism I'm trying to rally for the family here It's my Christmas gift to them Spread the word

[00:52:39] College student Austin Herroff 25 years old Randomly attacked John Stevens and Michelle Mishkan Stevens age 53 in their garage in Tequesta, Florida I usually know In 2016, it was found chewing on the face of one of the victims Okay, wait till you hear the rest of this

[00:53:01] I remember that because I was like boy, you think you know your neighbors and the next thing you know he's a cannibal That's crazy He also seriously injured a neighbor who came to the couple's aid He is pleaded not guilty

[00:53:15] to two counts of first degree murder and other charges Stun family members hit out at a plea deal was made that he's going to go to a psychiatric ward instead of jail But they did the plea deal without consulting the family

[00:53:29] of the victims, which I don't even know how that's legal I don't know, I'd have to call my dad Stun family's member hit out at the plea deal an emotional victim because he has to stay there for a minimum of six months but if somebody says

[00:53:45] he's fine now, it's like John Hinckley Jr It's up to the people at the place they don't think he's crazy anymore The family had attempted to cast this guy attempted to cast himself as a victim when really he was a cold-blooded murderer

[00:54:03] Here we are opening the prison doors for a double murderer The attorney said four words come to mind white, rich, boy justice Jody Bruce another sister of Mitch I really didn't know you could brutally murder two people and attempt to kill another and not even have a trial

[00:54:23] that was news to me Forensic psychologist Phillip So-and-So concluded in mental health report that Hanoff believed he was half dog half man during the incident He did not know the victims and he reportedly believed that he was being chased by a demon

[00:54:39] Hariff who was attending Florida State University faced up to a lifetime of imprisonment if convicted He was found to have bought hallucinogenic mushrooms the day before the attack Now I can say freely and he would not care My friend, Warren White loves a hallucinogenic mushroom

[00:54:57] but he's never tried to eat my face off You know that'd be weird Probably wrecked a friendship It would probably wreck the friendship for at least a month or so There's all kinds of people who do mushrooms who don't do this He bought them before the attack

[00:55:14] but no traces were found in his blood His parents told investigators their son had been acting oddly for weeks and that they had set up a mental health evaluation but the killing took place before he could be seen The court heard that two mental health health experts

[00:55:28] one for the defense and one for the prosecutors both found that he suffered a psychotic episode during the attack and could not tell the difference between right or wrong You will remain in the Martin County Jail to be transferred to a secure facility

[00:55:38] that is monitored by the state You will not be allowed to leave without a court order The family of the victims were angry at the plea deal and gave the victim impact statements to the court Wow I mean I don't think That's crazy

[00:55:56] It's mental health so I can't How do you ever say this guy's okay? So if he's in the mental health place and he's in the psych ward and some doctor goes I think he's okay now That was a super weird thing that he did

[00:56:14] But then he gets out and we're like is that funny? Is that a joke now? Because that's just done Oh my god remember when you were a cannibal that one time Remember when you thought you were a dog that was so crazy No, I mean no

[00:56:30] Or you put him in here and you say we're not letting you out and you're like I mean I don't know A couple of people I know are that mentally They've done really off the hook things but it didn't harm other people Yeah Like found naked

[00:56:54] Outdoors doing weird things But alone So okay You're a danger to other people I can't go along with that Alright you want to feel good story? This is what's going to make you feel good about the holidays You want to feel good about the holidays?

[00:57:16] Eating potatoes could help you lose weight Oh yes See now we're on a roll Okay With little effort Clare Blovers rejoice This delectable starch law Long a guilty pleasure just might be a secret weapon when trying to lose weight with little effort Researchers discovered the surprising

[00:57:39] health benefits of potatoes As it turns out these spuds are incredibly nutrient dense and could be a crucial part of a healthy diet That's how the Irish survived That's why I love them so much It's in my DNA Potatoes are the best The root vegetable

[00:57:57] has long been snubbed is too starchy for people with insulin resistance and was once thought of to be a contributor to type 2 diabetes But the tater's bad rep might now be rectified now that scientists claim it can be part of the ideal diet

[00:58:11] This is great news for those who loaded up on Grandma's famous mashed potatoes over Thanksgiving or who overindulging carbs at holidays seasons feast come December and New Year's but because the starch is low calorie but very filling researchers found that a filling full of potatoes

[00:58:29] contribute to a shrinking waistline It's true because once you eat the potatoes I don't eat anything else People tend to eat the same way to food regardless of the calorie content in order to feel full by eating foods with a heavier weight that are low in calories

[00:58:45] You may easily reduce the number of calories you consume The study included 36 people between the ages 18-16 who were overweight, obese or in insulin resistance Participants were given two different diets both high in fruits and veggies and swapped 40% of the typical American meat consumption with beans or peas

[00:59:03] or potatoes Beans have been touted as a diabetes superfood as doctors once crown beans the best at keeping blood sugars stable But these researchers were putting that theory to the test The key aspect of the study is that we did not reduce the portion size

[00:59:19] or their caloric content by including potatoes Each participant's meal was tailored to their personalized calorie needs By replacing some meat with potatoes Participants found themselves fuller quicker and often did not even finish their meal In effect you can lose weight with little effort That's it

[00:59:39] that I'm only going to eat potatoes The potatoes contain vitamin C B6, potassium, magnesium fololate and fiber all which promote health and have been found to have antioxidants I don't think they know how much salt I put on them The potatoes were boiled with the skins

[00:59:57] on them and they were placed in the fridge for 12-24 hours to maximize their fiber They were then included in lunch and dinner for the participants in the form of mashed potatoes, shepherd pie, wedges and salad and scalloped See There you go

[01:00:13] That's a happy and I got one more for your eating Around Christmas time Scientists share that bacon has health benefits Take that Sanjay Gupta Oh, yay Nobody ever says a kind word about bacon It's always bad Bacon has been a beloved part of breakfast

[01:00:33] lunch and dinner for centuries From bacon-wrapped hot dogs to the classic PLT sandwiches, no surprise that bacon is one of the most popular ingredients in many dishes But did you know there are many health benefits? I'm going to tell you Bacon is an excellent source of protein

[01:00:47] with approximately 12 grams per serving depending on how it's cooked In addition to protein, bacon also contains several other vitamins and minerals that help make up a balanced diet including zinc, selenium B3 and B12 Eating bacon also provides us with healthy fats such as mono-saturated mononone Mono-unsaturated fat

[01:01:07] That's a long ass mu- Wow Yeah, that's a great word for Scrabble Mono-unsaturated fat which could help reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke Nitrates It's full of nitrates And it's a high fat and low in carbs which makes it an ideal choice

[01:01:25] for someone looking to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight When eating as part of a balanced diet with plenty of vegetables and lean proteins it can help reduce hunger cravings throughout the day by providing sustained energy and keeping you full longer than other foods void So see

[01:01:41] it's a win-win for the bacon and the potatoes Nice! Now, speaking of bad foods would you like to win a free McGold card? Do you know what a McGold card is? McGold McGold Well Sounds McDonald's related Tis Mcdonald's related

[01:02:03] If you have one of these you get free McDonald's for life Egg McMuffins every day for you paddles I like the cheeseburger The kids Just a regular cheeseburger This makes me think of this story though and I don't think he would care that I tell it

[01:02:19] Jay Leno loves Burger King This is from a way back so I don't know if he still loves it but he did for a long time and there used to be the Burger King card It was like a then you got it stamped

[01:02:33] but he had eaten so much of it that he got like a gold card I don't know what that is and then he went down He went down somewhere fancy in Los Angeles to buy Mavis, his wife, a anniversary present like a piece of jewelry or something

[01:02:51] but he was one of those fancy stories He said, you know, the telling the thing the fishing thing and such thing Like none of the Jay walks in it He has one shirt, his denim shirt denim jeans, Canadian tuxedo every day

[01:03:05] and he never ever wears anything different when he's offstage That's his thing but anyway so he picks something out and the guy was like, oh you know how you want to pay for it and he said, you know I handed him my credit card

[01:03:17] and the guy came up the guy goes, excuse me and he walked through the back and then the boss guy came out because it's Jay and he's like, Mr. Leno we're really, I'm really I'm embarrassed to say this but he gave them his Burger King card

[01:03:37] He went to hand him like an am ex or something and he goes what do you mean, you guys haven't taken Burger King cards he says the story maybe we remember that story from the McRibs so called farewell tour to the happy meal for grownups

[01:03:59] McDonald has lately relied on limited edition promotions to entice customers The latest promotion maybe it's biggest yet The fast food giant has announced a contest during its quote season of sharing but they didn't write out season

[01:04:15] they put SZN, it took me a hot minute to figure that out while I pre-read this article um, yeah it's a promotional event where the grand prize is a lifetime supply of McDonald's the winner of the contest will receive the iconic McGold card which entitles them

[01:04:33] to two McDonald's meals per week for 50 years a grand total of 5200 meals the McGold card was once reserved for high profile celebrities with reported owners including Billionaires Warren Buffett and Bill Gates as well as actor Rob Lowe how random and you don't have to give it to Warren

[01:04:57] he's going every day he's he's a routine guy I think he's a spectrum guy he's routine in Omaha I drove right up to his house and then I drove his route to his McDonald's and I know where he works it's all public information

[01:05:15] I just wanted to see what his day was like every single day I wouldn't have given Warren a thing because A, he doesn't need it and B, he's coming anyway every day I don't know about Bill Gates he doesn't look like a McDonald's guy

[01:05:31] I don't know about Rob Lowe anyway, the winner will be able to select three friends who will each receive a McGold card as well so if you win our fans have been fascinated by the lure of the McGold card and if it really exists McDonald's chief of marketing

[01:05:49] officer Terry Hassan said in his statement now we'll make this McDonald's legend a reality for our fans by giving them a Christmas holiday gift a chance to win a card and then share access with it to three or four to three of their family or friends

[01:06:07] there are two main ways to enter the lifetime supply of McDonald's customers who have the McDonald's app see this always leads back to their apps all things lead back to download our app customers who have the app on their phone

[01:06:19] and are enrolled in the My McDonald's Rewards program will receive an entry on the sweepstakes each time they make a purchase during the duration of the contest it goes from December 5th to the 25th up to once a day to enter the contest without making a purchase

[01:06:33] entrance can visit the link they put a link in here starting on December 5th provide their email address, phone number, date of birth this can be done once a day for the duration of the contest we'll put it in the schnotes go ahead, termites try

[01:06:49] let's see if anybody can get it done I don't think I'll be able to get it done because it's too technical I can't do all that well, I don't like McDonald's enough if it was Taco Bell I would try maybe Arby's Wendy's I just, McDonald's I don't

[01:07:09] I eat McDonald's when there's nothing else when it's there but I know I like Chick-fil-A but the line is too long and then I don't know people get mad at Chick-fil-A the funniest joke ever though George Wallace's joke about Chick-fil-A Chick-fil-A not gonna be open on Sundays

[01:07:31] never gonna be open on a Sunday which is nice for the employees but he goes I got a great idea on Saturday I'm gonna go up to the Chick-fil-A buy my house and buy everything they have and then I'm gonna sit in there

[01:07:45] drive through on Sunday and resell it for double don't tell me is this Sunday it's gonna have a sign out front that said we're open now it's gonna be me at a card table it's so funny this story I love because, well wait

[01:08:03] I gotta do it but the NFL Pokemon guy I did know there were Pokemon cards I don't even understand what Pokemon is is it a cartoon? the Asians like that as a cartoon the Asians in Asia they started in Asia right? yeah so there's this guy NFL player

[01:08:31] his name is Blake Martinez he found himself for a second act for former Pro Bowl players go as a second act it's hard to beat collecting in flippy Pokemon cards worth six figure-cells it's certainly better than getting jerked around by lousy teams which is where Blake Martinez

[01:08:49] found himself for a second straight year at the end of October the seventh year linebacker out of Stanford sold a rare Pokemon card at auction for $672,000 now again what do you do with it? well it's better than an NFT it's actually physically an item

[01:09:10] but do you carry it in your purse and show people at a bar? hey look what I got I can tell you no one at my bar would know what the fuck that is and I'm sure racist things would be said while I pulled that out

[01:09:22] by the old guys ten days later Martinez, 28 a starter who had just signed with the Vegas Raiders he retired from the NFL ten days after selling it did pocketing 600 grand for a Pokemon card really sway the football player into retirement we've reached out to ask him directly

[01:09:40] but frankly it seems very plausible considering his specific circumstances anyway the timeline he started collecting these a long time ago when he was a kid it's oh my god he said look what I found in my basement he said on instagram brandishing swore lustrator an extremely rare

[01:10:04] Japan only holographic card starring Pikachu professional grade sayers fewer than 40 are known to exist it was in his basement yeah he collected them we began collecting them as a kid and then during COVID he got more back into it because he had more time

[01:10:26] when he revealed the card we've asked how he actually acquired it for how much he was still a member of the Giants football Giants he had torn ligaments in three games into the 21 season and headed into training camp in the third year

[01:10:40] of a 30 million dollar contract with the Giants however only 19 was guaranteed and with that already paid it meant the Giants could cut him as if he was rookie trying to make the team so they did he said he began collecting when he was 6 years old

[01:10:54] got away from the hobby, got back into it during COVID he's just a smart person though yeah if you got $672,000 and you're still getting your brains bashed in on these football teams that aren't paying you shit quit you can't retire on $672,000

[01:11:12] not as a young man, no he's so young but you could go do something else take that money and then go buy a house and now you can be a football coach at a high school or something yeah he first went to his childhood

[01:11:26] collection but discovered that his mom in his story so common it's almost cliche, had given her throwing them away he got serious enough about collecting Pokemon cards that he started a breaks business a breaks business is a dealer a dealer solicits buyers for a box of unopened cards

[01:11:44] then opens them and then the buyers are awarded the contents the opening is usually done in an online event through this he met the dealer of rare items, he printed me a bunch he presented me a bunch of different trophy cards and the swore illustrator

[01:11:58] was one of them, he didn't say how much he paid for it so he got to deal with the raiders but it's for $1.1 million, I mean his Pokemon cards almost that well half, more than half none of that was guaranteed that money

[01:12:14] he came back with the thing and then he quit I just think that's a great take the money and run while you still have your brain you know when you're not hurt God knows what could happen out there for shitty money I'm not playing football

[01:12:28] for great money I'm thinking about it alright but not enough, there's plenty of other jobs out there he can come on the road and sell merch for me alright this is kind of a fun we'll call it I'll call it a feel good story

[01:12:46] this is what we're going to sign off on and then we're going to have a wonderful Christmas deck now that I'm off work I can go ahead and Christmas lights for real as soon as it stops raining snowing all that shit yeah but this is more

[01:13:04] rain than snow yeah so World Cup still on, that's great I'm still going, there's a game this afternoon this is I love the idea of this and it seems to be true and I think it's because I'm nearly, if I was amongst

[01:13:22] these people it would be the only time I would be a living giant the mysterious people of diminutive stature who inhabited Sacarabrae 5000 years ago I have no idea what you just said I know, Sacarabrae is an island stories about a dwarf species of human being

[01:13:42] have been circulated for a long time however they've often been dismissed as ancient fiction, the discovery of a hobbit like human species approximately the size of a 3 year old whoa wouldn't that be fantastic the discovery of a hobbit like human species apparently the size of a 3 year old

[01:14:02] in 2004 has had researchers and naysayers alike rethink the fact that little people did actually exist and thrive in various parts of the world like Scotland, Hawaii and Indonesia we've talked about the ones in Indonesia on this podcast because they found the skeleton

[01:14:18] I also think Ireland because if you go to Ireland they have these things called beehives has nothing to do with bees but it looks like a beehive it's a grey round structure that points up to a top they're very tiny

[01:14:32] and that's where the ancient people would live in but the running joke is hey, wow this is built for me like my brother in law Matt can't even get in it just the doorway itself and then if he stood up he's 6'2", forget it

[01:14:48] I'm like 5 foot tall must have been we're just going to build it in case a giant comes but this is not the norm these people had to be super duper tiny, I don't know about this but tiny but this is Sikara Bray located

[01:15:04] I might be saying that wrong located in the Scottish Orkney Archipelago the islands Archipelago the settlement consists of a cluster of 8 prehistoric dwellings that have had people scratching their heads on an account of its dimensions as this excerpt explains these 8 little dwellings came complete with stone beds

[01:15:28] a central hearth insulation and indoor toilets draining outwards from the structure but most interesting of all are the dimension of the doors and the beds the doorways and the beds barely reach 4 feet and so the only logical conclusion to make from these dimensions is that the inhabitants

[01:15:46] were indeed diminutive in stature that's why I never understood why is nobody talking about the beehives if you go to the southwest of Ireland you go out of the peninsula they're just in people's backyards they're just there and like one guy has a sign beehives here

[01:16:02] see for 5 pounds and you walk up and knock on his door and you give him 5 bucks and he goes, DARRR up DARRR be careful now careful on the rocks and then you just go up and look at them they don't like go super overboard

[01:16:16] and protect it at least they didn't back in the day but I don't know where they went but you're like if people lived in there's clearly a middle like for a fireplace what's even stranger is that these Neolithic homes were located underground what why are they going underground

[01:16:34] wow per reports they were hidden under a moan until a great storm annihilated it in 1850 how smart is that though like a bear they went in a cave it was not until 1927 the D's dwellings were officially investigated and even then the mystery deepens as this excerpt explains

[01:16:56] then the site was allegedly looted of many artifacts in 1913 and it was not officially studied until 1927 by the University of Edinburgh Professor Gordon somebody came to the feeble conclusion that the site dated to 500 BC but it was obviously incorrect and in the 70's material

[01:17:14] from the site was carbon dated to 3,180 BC yep and then the site yep the manuscript written by the bishop of Orkney in 1493 suggests that when the king of Norway Harold Hafega Hafega conquered Orkney in the 19th century in the 9th century sorry it was inhabited by short

[01:17:40] statured papayae people and the pics who were exterminated by persons of unknown it is book titled from eternal influences on English from its beginnings of the Renaissance the pre-scandinavian inhabitants of Orkney were papayae which means clerics and pateae which means pics

[01:18:06] so ancient robin called the tribes of today's Scotland who were a race of small statured people yep isn't that crazy the size of a three year old full grown people I know little people Brad Williams my friend he's taller than that than a three year old yeah

[01:18:30] and he's a little person I think it would be phenomenal maybe it's because I'm only 5 foot tall just having him around to talk to and stuff I want to go in their underground cave where do you guys party at night you could almost fit

[01:18:47] I can fit in the beehives and I would be totally comfortable in a beehive I mean I'd be freezing my ass off but as far as height goes fine but I could only have people in there that were my size no big people my brother-in-law not invited

[01:19:05] even my sister's kids with my brother-in-law they're all going to be tall nope you are not of the Madigan plan the prehistoric diminutive people that we are it's a shawty potty alright termites um you know have fun at the holidays for my Jewish friends you do your thing

[01:19:27] Lewis is Jewish but he loves um he acts like he doesn't but he loves Christmas parties because he's a food monster yeah he's a food and wine monster he'll go to anything like on Christmas he's such a whore he'll make the rounds to like 5 places

[01:19:45] he doesn't stay long he gets too excited knowing that there's food somewhere else I'm like we're here eat this yeah I know but I heard though Willy's doing a whole pig he's got menus from everybody's house of what they're doing anyway that's it termites
