Episode 127: Celebrating Girl Scout Cookie Season, The Mexican President’s Elf, & Winding Down Party City

[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, let's talk about what's been going on. Termites! Episode 127, Fire Lights, Fire! Did we talk about the new lighting? Yeah. Yeah?

[00:00:33] How's it look? We're working on it. I know, I looked crazy on a zoom. I hate zooming. You were very white. Oh, I was too white. Now we have- We've talked all of Southern California. Now we have a soft glow. Soft glow? Yeah.

[00:00:46] Do I look like a softer glow? Totally. Termites! So many things! Happy premiere week! It's St. Patrick's Week. I think Premier Week. Premier Week, right, of the special.

[00:00:58] Which I saw a bunch of your guys' pictures, a ton of them, and they were all so great of you guys watching with- by yourself or together or with an animal. I really like the animal ones. I like to see which animals care.

[00:01:10] Baby Cat and the other two cats could give a shit that they only like it when I show them cat videos, but they love it. Cat videos? Yeah, my whole TikTok and Instagram is cat videos. And then if the- Oh, the cat has to be speaking, talking.

[00:01:26] It has to be meowing. And then Baby Cat looks behind the phone. She's very interested though. Somebody told me there's an animal channel. Is that true where it's animal videos while you're gone? I don't know.

[00:01:39] I thought of the idea years ago and then somebody goes, Kathleen, they already have that. I'm like, oh. Because it likes it for animals. If you're leaving your house for a couple hours, you want to leave the TV on.

[00:01:49] I don't think Baby Cat cares about the Murdoch Ryle. But I do think Baby Cat would care about some other cats. Uh-huh. Anyway, Premier Week. You guys have kept the special up there in the top thing.

[00:02:05] If you can go rate it for me, unless you hated me, do not rate me. But if you liked it and you give up five stars and then add it to your list, that helps as the children tell me the algorithms.

[00:02:16] And I do understand what one is, but not really. But they don't need to know that I don't really- I just go, uh-huh, sure, no problem. Totally agree with them. And we will get the t-shirts out.

[00:02:26] But I just enjoyed the pictures anyway, but I did promise t-shirts and that will happen. It's just been a little cuckoo lately. What am I drinking from Southern California? Because that's where I went. Captain Fatties! That's where I used to call Louis. Fatties, not fat anymore.

[00:02:41] We never was fat, but when he was super chubby and he caused his stomach baby Louie, when baby Louie got out of control, I called him Captain Fatties. And they actually have a beer. It's a beach beer made in- Somewhere out in LA, I got this.

[00:02:55] LA, but- oh, Galita! So that's up by Santa Barbara. The weather, and I was there for many years in California. Los Angeles, most of the beach. The rain, it hailed- I mean, it's like end of world shit.

[00:03:13] And then everybody's like, yeah, okay, we're still doing everything, okay, yeah. Yeah, it was crazy because I went out there. I do not enjoy flying into LAX. I do not enjoy renting a car there. But once you get it all settled, it's fine.

[00:03:31] To do the Kelly Clarkson show? And then access Daily with Mario Lopez and Kit? You know, I'm not gonna say, I prejudged him a little bit. Well, I thought, I don't know. He's cute. He's always been on TV, wasn't he on one of the kids' shows?

[00:03:51] Saved by the bell. Was he on that? Yeah, he was the hot guy. He's still the hot guy. He was slayer. But he's really, really, really good at what he does and super smart. Not that I thought he was stupid. I just thought he probably didn't care anymore.

[00:04:06] I think it was what I thought. He's probably over it. And he was actually having fun. And Kit was just partying a box, that lady. But first we'll start with Kelly. Because you get- okay, so this is just termite shit.

[00:04:20] And if you don't care about your business, I won't keep talking about it. But occasionally, because normally I don't. But back in the 90s, I'd say the late 90s or late 2000s, the talk shows, they became your backstage presence. It started getting out of control.

[00:04:35] I think they were trying to be better than the other person. Like if you were to come and stay at my house, everything in the guest bathroom says tonight show. All of it. My dad walks around in the robe, look at me, I was on the tonight show.

[00:04:49] I'm like, dad, it was free. That's a really good robe. You can make fun of it, but just remember that the reason that feels so good on your body. So they started giving away really great stuff when you got to the present for coming.

[00:05:00] I mean, it got crazy. Like coats and robes and towels and for- yeah, I have a lot of things to say that tonight show. A picnic basket. Yeah, just stuff where they were odd ideas. You're like, okay, we're out of ideas. Like what?

[00:05:16] I've never been on a picnic. No, I mean whatever. It was nice, but it's like something out of sound and music. Who's going to really do that? But then they all slacked off and then it got down to dog shit.

[00:05:27] And then it just got, welcome to the show. Here's your closet. If you need somebody to comb your hair or call us. Like it just got, it got really lame. So I figured that would be the thing forever, which is fine.

[00:05:39] I know how to, you know, make my hair look normal. But Kelly Clarkson, she's rolled back the clock. The backstage here was the prettiest thing I've ever seen in my life. The parking? Because on those lots, it's the reason I quit auditioning for shows.

[00:05:56] I didn't want to deal with the parking. You get to the gate and they're like, what's your name? You'll be at that gate for like 45 minutes. And then I go, you don't have anything to do here today lady. Like I'm busting into Warner Brothers or some shit.

[00:06:07] I could care less. I don't even watch these shows. Like if this was the ID channel lot, you'd be better watch out for me. Yeah. You watch Kelly Clarkson? No, I mean, I'm saying the Warner, when I was auditioning for shows that I didn't

[00:06:19] even know what they were on. Like I did, I didn't do that for a long. I just, I didn't even want to be an actor. I'm like, what am I doing? And now I'm getting yelled at at a gate. I was told to go to, just fuck off.

[00:06:29] Right. Kelly though, no, I like that show. She's a, she's a party in a box. She's a lot of fun. And it's very hard to be that fun, that early in the morning. I was struggling with that myself. She must wake up like a three.

[00:06:42] I don't know how you can be that alert and on it and everybody that works on the show. And then, well, my friend Bob works there. Bob came by to say hi. And then a water the cameraman. I heard, hey, Kathleen.

[00:06:55] And I knew the accent of like, that's somebody from where I'm from. And he goes, Springfield. No, shout out of like, that's right. Springfield voted one of the top five places live in the United States. By the way, yeah, I'll get to that next week.

[00:07:06] But so Kelly, now that had Miss Pac-Man in my green room, I'm like, oh, you shouldn't put this here. You should ask, does anybody coming in this room have addictive qualities? Because that's all I did for three years after work at a restaurant when I had

[00:07:21] to wait for rides. This, do you get a gift bag back there? Look, check this out. Sorry, Dolly. Well, here I'll just, anyway, the bag, it's, well, I can't, the Kelly Clarks, if you're on, not lit, if you're just listening.

[00:07:35] It's a very, oh, it's a wonderful like summertime, whatever beach. And then inside the bag, she picks an album for everybody. I got the best of Whitney Houston. And I happen to have a record player. Yeah. Yeah. So that's great.

[00:07:53] There's a bottle of wine and then these mugs, this is really adorable. Everything about this thing, look, it says sweet and this is, it's a wine deal. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah. And then there's a larger one, but um, um, no, that's nothing you get. Yeah.

[00:08:10] Because you get the swinger big one. Oh yeah. For what? Well, you put like a whole seltzer in there. Nice. Yeah. This is more like a very light Pino. Can I have the bag? Mm-hmm. Yeah. You can have the bag. Thank you. Yeah.

[00:08:26] Um, but anyway, the whole thing was, it was great. So if you, it won't be on for a while. I'll let you guys know when they're backed up and she tapes two shows a day. Oh my God.

[00:08:36] And Jay Leno was going to be on the other one, the next one. And I wanted to stay, but I couldn't because I had to go over to access daily and Bob was like, Jay's asking where you at? I'm like, Jay's, well, I love Jay.

[00:08:49] I feel like he's one of my special needs friends. It's just come up. Hey, down face. How are you doing? I'm fine, Jay. Could you please stay off vehicles for a while? Could you please have your wife, Mavis, who's better than you drive you around

[00:09:04] and stop maiming yourself in your 70s? But I guess he, um, he then she does a lot of like personal story things. If you know it's daytime TV. Um, the whole thing was wonderful. I've never had a parking spot that good.

[00:09:20] I know that sounds stupid, but if you've ever been on these lots, it can be horrible. And it was pouring down rain and hailing. And I'm like, look, I did blow dry my hair for this. I got up early.

[00:09:30] I had to go get coffee in the hotel, wake myself up and that girl even, well, I won't go up even that girl. She's like, are you going to Universal Studios? I'm like, I am, but not to go to Harry Potter world. I have to go. They're obsessed.

[00:09:44] They're obsessed. It even the girl that worked there was like, I love Harry Potter, but the lines are too long. I'm going to wait till it fades out. I'm like, it's never fading out. No, it's not. Everybody loves it. Um, yeah, everybody is into it.

[00:09:57] So, and then I did Kelly and then I went over and access Hollywood and those guys were so fun. Um, that show, super duper fun. My friend Jen, she was there. Um, I'd never met Kit R Mori. Well, I did Mario's radio, which is a zoom.

[00:10:15] So I already kind of met him, but I didn't know him before that. Um, then I went over this is why there's a slow for bread here to do my good friend Tom Papa's podcast, breaking bread with Tom. No, breaking like breaking like Italians. He's Italian.

[00:10:33] He loves this thing is so I shouldn't be eating bread. Yeah, he makes bread. I think he always did, but then during COVID he started making videos and if you're a cook person and you're into it, I would never go. This is too hard to make.

[00:10:48] I'm not doing it, especially when I have a friend who already is doing it for fun. You do it. I'm not doing that. But if one with olive oil, that's a podcast. I think that's already out.

[00:10:58] I'm not sure I've lost track, but you can go listen to that. He's an old friend. His specials are on Netflix, I believe he's very, very funny. He has the funniest joke about mean girls and he said his daughters are mean girls and he's like,

[00:11:16] I'm responsible for mean girls. I'm feeding them. I'm housing them, giving them heat. If you're bored, I like Tom's comedy a lot and we do a lot of corporate gigs together because we're both reasonably clean. Yeah, but just in general, he's a great guy.

[00:11:32] So I already did what I'm drinking that this came and we don't have too many of these to do to the rhyme. Though this came in the mail from Indianapolis. Although you can't send your beer, you know, you like a nap in a hammock.

[00:11:46] This is from Metazoa Brewery and it has a sloth. Who doesn't like a sloth? So we got to the pint class and then they got me a funny sticker. It's from Munster, Indiana with a cat on it. Termites Jennifer and Brett. They put her, him.

[00:12:06] You can be whatever you want. I don't care. I don't even know why people are fighting about that. Who gives a shit? Oh, tiny stickers for the notebook. Yeah, so this is great. I'm going to have to go to this brewery the next time I'm in Indianapolis.

[00:12:20] But first you'll have to get me out of St. Elmo's and their shrimp sauce. That's right. First you have to give me out of there to get me to go to the brewery. And then the rhymen, the last thing from the rhymen. I forgot to show you.

[00:12:31] They gave you a nice little backpack. All of a sudden everybody's giving presents again. Yeah, it's wonderful. This wine came, it's got two horses on the front. And then it makes me want a horse. But I don't have enough room for a horse. You can't have a horse.

[00:12:45] No, I'd rather have goats. Goats are more fun. Well, horses are, I mean they're just so much work, but old black easy. It's a Tennessee wine says handcrafted table wine, Tennessee wine with a Tennessee attitude. Nice. From the Anne St. Patrick's Day socks, which? Coming up.

[00:13:01] Right around the corner. My birthday. Boom. I'll be in Memphis. It's, it's Paddle's birthday on the 16th. It's very excited. Would you like to reveal how old you'll be? No. No. All things remaining elusive. This is a congrats on the rhymen show. That does deserve one.

[00:13:23] That is an amazing place. Termite Judy. So I got that backstage. I think people always wonder, does this crap ever make it backstage? And it does. Oh, they, Kelly gave you his popcorn too, which I've already tasted. Well that's what we're tasting today.

[00:13:39] Well, I already tasted it, but I'll, it wasn't. What's it called? Two days ago. It's called Rob's Backstage Popcorn. Okay. And my father says guys name is Rob and I'm like, did you do this? Is this what you're doing instead of working on my career? Fucking making popcorn.

[00:13:57] What's the flavor on it? Barbecue. Nothing. Oh, Kelly's classic barbecue. Established 1989. Wow. Plant life is good and free. My sister will be only 50 calories a cup. It's delicious. It has a light hint of barbecue, which in a good way. Not too much. All right.

[00:14:22] So it was a big week and then there's going to be another big week of New York stuff. But in the meantime, I'll be in New Orleans. Yeah. What are you getting me there? Well, I signed up for some tours. Yeah. Cool.

[00:14:38] My friend Michael Somerville is coming down. He's a good New Orleans drinking guy. We'll have a lot of fun. I'm going to go to the cemeteries and I want to see Marie Laveau stuff and I go to the voodoo shop.

[00:14:52] And I get t-shirts that are so crazy awesome. That place is real creepy though. They're like, please don't take any pictures in here to disturb the spirits. Right. This is good. Yeah. I kind of believe it, you know? I believe it enough to not take a picture.

[00:15:09] Put it that way because my sister the one time goes, do you really believe this shit? Or they're just doing it to make you think there's ghosts in here? I said, I don't even care which is true. They've convinced me enough to not do it. So I'm not.

[00:15:23] I even feel weird in the cemetery there because they're so spooky and cool. I don't know. All right. Moving on. I don't have any Queen news except I did on the plane watch the Tanya Tucker documentary about I did like it.

[00:15:41] I like her because no matter what they say to her, she's like, uh-huh. She like she believes you but she's like, yeah. And then she just fires up another thing and she's like, I gotta quit smoking.

[00:15:53] Everything about her I can relate to where she kind of just wants to stay at home, smoking sticks in her bed with her dogs. Um, and she likes being home but she, I mean it's amazing. Since she's been 13, she's had Delta Dawn. It's something to see.

[00:16:09] And the clips of her as a kid and the, I mean, I don't even think she thinks about like, maybe there was an, I don't know, it's a lot.

[00:16:19] And you're like, wow, you know, people are so protective of their kids and then on the other end of that is her daddy going, we got a gig Friday at the bar. Come on, little girl, get out of the bathroom. Like, yeah, get in the truck is right.

[00:16:34] All right. Moving on update. Go watch a Tanya Tucker thing if you feel like her. It's good if you like her. If you don't know where you don't like her, watch it for a few minutes. See what you think.

[00:16:45] Um, well, wait before I go into update, what are we watching? Well, me and my friend Nicole are so into the Murdoch trial. And every morning we text each other, I'm during number four. She's number 12. And I'm like, during this morning I texted her number four, up seated.

[00:17:07] Whoa, whoa, very heated conversation. I haven't even had a whole cup of coffee. I was late. I was late to the jury box because I slept late. Oh really? I didn't sleep. I just laid there with baby cat. Almost sleeping. Kind of sleeping. Yeah, whatever.

[00:17:21] So the Murdoch trial is on YouTube. If you have court TV on your thing, it's there. Court TV is not on direct TV. If it is, I can't find it, whatever. It's on YouTube. That has been, John Grisham is there. At the court? Yes!

[00:17:37] He's in like the third row. And all of this is because of my friend Mandy Matney who was not my friend. I didn't know her. I mean, but I started. So my comedian friend Kelly McFarlane, she loves true crime. I love true crime.

[00:17:51] We passed podcasts back and forth. I don't even remember which one of us found it. But this is what pisses me off on Mandy's behalf. So Mandy, two years ago or more, I guess we'd have to look it up.

[00:18:05] Because some of the podcasts quite frankly get very hard. You have to pay attention. Like you have to be in the right hard meaning very detailed. But I kept saying, everybody bitches about young people not working hard.

[00:18:16] She is doing the reporter shit, which is the exact reason I quit being a journalist. Because I didn't want to do it. I was like, I can't go down in that courthouse and sift through papers.

[00:18:25] And now, I mean, yeah, but you still have to do the, even though we have technology, you still have to go down to the courthouse, the papers are filed, blah, blah, blah. She did all the work. Then the podcast goes to starts climbing on Apple.

[00:18:38] And then it's like number one. Well, then all the jackals come and all the hyenas come. What is this? What is this? And now all of a sudden, because Louis was saying, how did this become a thing where they're breaking into New York news for hip?

[00:18:52] I said because the vultures came and I am so sick and tired of seeing and I watched them. I'll admit it because I want to see how much they've, I feel like they stole her work. They recap it.

[00:19:04] Cause then they're like, well, what's going on in South Carolina? Some rich guy, maybe or maybe did or didn't kill his wife and his kid. Oh, and he's a drug addict. Oh, when he stole all the money from his law firm.

[00:19:15] Oh, and he had cousin Eddie tried to shoot him in the head and they got dude half ass miss. Oh, and he may have killed the housekeeper. Oh, so it's the most crazy psychotic crime crime. I've ever even heard of. She does all the work.

[00:19:31] Now I think she's going to do the real documentary like Netflix just put out three or four episodes, but it's not over, but they're trying to get ahead of it.

[00:19:41] I know I saw the guy from Fitz News on there and I don't know maybe Mandy's fine with all this, but I feel like she did all the hard work. They come in for the after party.

[00:19:54] American greed has done it, but I don't count that because American greed just does the cliff. Yeah, it's just an abbreviated abbreviate, but there's also one I believe on HBO Max. I don't know. I read there's four, but anyway, if you're not watching on YouTube,

[00:20:10] if you're into true crime, you're running out of time though. It's going to be over soon. At least the arguments and then they take a field trip to the area where it happened. Yeah, and that all I can think it is.

[00:20:22] And this is so me being such a baby about animals. I'm like, why do those dogs have to sleep outside in those kennels? I understand they're hunting dogs, but they're still pets. Well, to him they're not pets. They're strictly hunting dogs.

[00:20:38] I know my friend, there's a friend of mine saying, Louis, her dad does it. South Carolina doesn't get that cold. So it's hot though. Anyway, here's something not to watch. Let me save you two hours of your life. The strays.

[00:20:56] And I'm not saying it because I happen to be on Amazon Prime right now because I'm also on Netflix, but I was looking forward to it. It's a movie. It's not a series. And it's one of those British weird... Well, I liked the concept. I like the premise.

[00:21:16] The ending? It's like they just ran out of money or like somebody went, I don't know, fuck it, that's good, right? We're good. And then everybody was tired. So they went, yeah, that's fine. That's good. No, it's not good. No, it's not fine.

[00:21:29] I thought, is there another movie after this to explain? It's almost so fucked up. You should watch it, but I'd really say watch something else. Go watch all what quiet on the Western front, the German angle of that. That's my inner Jack Madigan coming out. I loved it.

[00:21:51] I am sometimes a 70 year old dude in a recliner. I know that, but all quite on that. You never see the war movie from the German perspective. It's amazing. It's just amazing. And it's the last like week before the war ends.

[00:22:07] And well, I mean they show them signing up and all that and the German, yeah, yeah, rah, rah, we're going to rule the world. And then it just doesn't happen like that. Anywho, those are the watching tips or not. Update! Okay, this one, this one was...

[00:22:24] This is a trader update. Now there were a lot of traders on January 6th that made it into the capital that had outfits on, costumes. Everybody knows the Shaman guy. And I remember watching this from the morning.

[00:22:41] I happened to be off, I don't know what day February 6 was, but I wasn't on the road, so probably Monday to Tuesday. And I was watching it and as it was getting nuttier, I watched Trump give his whole speech and then I saw people moving towards the capital

[00:22:56] and I thought, oh wow. So I watch every single minute of it for hours. And I'm texting my friend Chuck because he's in California. I'm like, wake up, wake up, wakey, wakey. They're attacking the government like physically. They are going in.

[00:23:12] But if you watched it for that long, like I did that day for better or worse, there were a lot of people that chose strange costumes. I mean, the Shaman was extremely strange. But this one didn't get as much attention as I thought it should have

[00:23:30] because I couldn't stop laughing as I thought our government was actually being overthrown. January 6th, Ryder known as Sedition Panda. They caught him. So there was a guy or a woman who knew, I figured it was pretty tall

[00:23:50] but I also didn't know if that was the panda head making the person look taller. But I think if you put a panda head on me, I would look 3'5 instead of 5' tall. A January 6th Ryder named Sedition Panda because he wore a giant panda head

[00:24:04] while breaching the capital has been busted for his role in the cast. Now, I guess you thought, I mean, it's better to wear a panda head than to just go free face running and filming yourself. Like maybe you thought I'll get away with it

[00:24:21] but that I thought is this like a furry outfit and he's using it for two events? Like, hey, why not? You know, I have it. I go to my conventions. Why not be the panda that I truly am and go with, he's 37. Jesse, it's the first young person.

[00:24:40] Everybody else I read in these, it's over 50 because it's snap time and I am over 50 and I could tell you I've seen it, I have friends that snap. I could tell you a lot of reasons in your 50s to just snap.

[00:24:54] Jesse James Rumson 37 was one of the first 20 people to storm the government complex which was also the funny part even though it's not funny we're attacking the government. Initially in the rotunda there were only like 20 people and they looked, because I was saying to Chuck,

[00:25:12] uh oh, here's the problem with Rednecks. They got a plan, we're gonna do it. And then they get there and they're like, what are we gonna do now? They don't think through the plan. They just have an ideal, I got this ideal and I'm gonna do it.

[00:25:29] Well, there was only 20 people so they were like wandering around aimlessly and even the cops were like what the fuck are we supposed to do? Like, they're not attacking us, they're not violent yet but I noticed the panda and I'm like no one's approaching the panda.

[00:25:47] That would be the first one I would approach and go, well could you please remove your panda head if I'm a cop? Could you remove the head? And then if they won't, I don't know what the laws are. Anyway, he was one of the first 20.

[00:26:02] He was arrested in where? Florida! Oh Florida. La Canto, Florida. Wherever that is. On Friday according to court documents he faces a slew of charges for his alleged role in the rioting including assaulting, resisting or impending an officer and engaging in physical violence and restricted building or grounds.

[00:26:24] Rumson can be seen running through the Senate wing doors hopping over railing. That is hard to do with a giant head on. Oh, the head was still on? Yeah, he kept the head on the whole time.

[00:26:35] And he had a flag of some sort, I don't remember what it was. It wasn't the Confederate flag. It was, oh I see how they caught him. At one point I think he got hot and he lifted his head up and somebody took a picture.

[00:26:49] He lifted the panda head and you could see his face. He's got a beard, white guy beard. He had on his panda head at the time see the attached photos. The document adds certain unknown individuals were given a nickname for the logical characterization of their video and appearances

[00:27:10] before they were identified in the footage that day. The individual described above was given the hashtag name of the San Cedition Panda because at the time the individual was seen in both open source and other footage wearing large headpiece that appeared to be from a panda costume.

[00:27:25] The document added, he appeared to have been handcuffed at some point but removed the restraints with the help of fellow rioters. The panda didn't trouble, the panda didn't trouble. The panda's in a lot of trouble, bubbles. Oh my god, update! On some eat some, Brady. Oh wow!

[00:27:51] Oh my god. Is he working for Fox yet? This could be horrifying. At the very most it's going to be horrifying at the very best it will be minimally acceptable. Tom Brady, he's going to give stand up comedy a try. Stop, wait what?

[00:28:09] A lot of ex athletes do that. No! And a lot of ex DJs and a lot of ex whatever's. Oh my god. Shaq was pretty good I gotta say. He would turn up and stuff. You know who else is okay is the country singer

[00:28:24] who loves comedy so much. Brad Paisley. Brad Paisley, he's pretty good. I mean as far as what you can expect from someone who this isn't their main job. Gronk did it. Gronk could be funny, no problem.

[00:28:37] But I think sadly a lot of people would just be laughing at him. Not with him. According to recent reports NFL icon Tom Brady has developed a new plan. A plan for a new career in stand up but his inner circle

[00:28:50] has been attempting to persuade him out of it. Why not? If he's still in Tampa run on down to side splitters or the improv and say can I go on open mic night? Don't announce you're coming. And just go, that's how you're really going to tell.

[00:29:05] And grow a beard so you don't look like Tom. And then you'll get more of a real result. Yeah I don't think he cares either. According to Radar Online one of the sources is who heard the football star staff reported leave state.

[00:29:21] Tom was a terrific quarterback but he needs to toss this idea but before it's too late. As a comic he's just a water boy said the source. He really liked that movie about him 80 for Brady. Oh my God. Yeah.

[00:29:38] He does a great impression of former teammate Rob Grinkowski and his over the top Boston accent is hilarious. Well I would like to hear that but maybe instead of going to an open mic night why don't you just do it on TikTok. Right.

[00:29:55] The ground compression I'd like to hear too. I'm up for it. I don't think he doesn't need money though but don't go out on the road and be a failure. A lot of sitcom people tried it and it just ends in disaster

[00:30:09] but people pay to go once to the club because they want to see whomever from well the one guy I think was from saved from saved by the bell Dustin Diamond. He passed away. Screech. Screech. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway update. Update. Elizabeth Holmes had her baby.

[00:30:37] She had the baby. Yep because her court documents filing last week has revealed that she's now the mother of two and she's seeking delay to delay her looming incarceration as of today. She has two months of freedom left April 27th or whatever

[00:30:55] I don't know what the date is today. Does the baby have horns? The baby. Is it a horn baby? No. The baby I think it's a boy. I'm not sure. It doesn't say. April 27th is her got to report to jail date. They're trying to keep her out.

[00:31:14] Yeah but you know what no one else would get that privilege bullshit. Go watch those women prison shows all kinds of women they have babies in prison. The baby yeah they don't get to get out. They don't get to be delayed.

[00:31:25] It's already bullshit how much time they've given her. This is where I turn into old school mean person. Nope you're going to jail. Death penalty. Death penalty. You got to settle down on that. No. Canada. I don't. What happened to the Canadian nice thing? What happened to that?

[00:31:45] I like good people. You know that Idaho killer guy. If he's convicted he might face a firing squad because Idaho has that. That would be my preference. Fireing squad? Absolutely. But the thing is I picture my firing squad thing is like I'm picturing probably in a French prison

[00:32:05] early 1900s where they take me out to a courtyard and they blindfold me and 12, 13 people all shoot at once so nobody feels bad about actually killing me. But my thing is that's one more chance to go outside. It's one more chance to feel the sun if it's sunny.

[00:32:22] And it's dramatic. I like the theatrics of it. The electric chair bothers me because well obviously why. But I have been mildly electrocuted with a blow dryer once and it hurts like shit so I don't want to, I can't imagine a full blown.

[00:32:42] I mean, there was some water on it. I don't know what happened but it just went my hand and I went through it across the room. The other thing is lethal injection and nobody can ever find my veins anyway for blood tests

[00:32:58] and that would just go on for days and then they'd have to go get a phlebotomist who's super good at what they do and then she's gonna go, sorry you don't have any veins and I'm gonna be like yeah I know that.

[00:33:09] I would still go for a fire squad. All right, update! Well no, two more. This is the FXT guy, Sam Bakman Freed. This is a lesson if you go listen to one of my one of my records CDs whatever you want to call them, specials.

[00:33:31] Oh my dad called too. He goes, 6 o'clock in Los Angeles, 6 a.m. I happened to be up because I had these early things to do. Yeah, our neighbor Susan says your specials not available in Florida. Oh my god, I go but I was like dad

[00:33:51] and I have to scream and I'm in my hotel room because he's hard of hearing and I feel bad because it's 6 in the morning and I'm screaming in a Sheraton. I'm probably waking up two other rooms at least. I go dad!

[00:34:03] I'm not gonna keep screaming but I go, I've gotten texts from other people in Florida and they've seen it. They liked it. Well, huh, I go, I bet if Susan turns her TV on and back off and on, no, she's trying to do that.

[00:34:23] I go, well why don't you invite Susan over since you and mom saw it and she can watch you, you can have a view, watching party, well we've already seen it. Okay dad, I have to go. What are you doing today? I'm gonna be on television

[00:34:38] and then a podcast and then another television. Huh, aren't they raining out there? I have to blow dry my hair! Without electricity you're kidding myself. I'm like, he does, they don't know where I'm at. I don't even expect them to know where I'm at or whatever.

[00:34:57] I told them I was going to California, they don't remember, that's fine but I'm like dad it's 6 o'clock in the morning here, well aren't you well burly. Yes, for a reason. Anyway, I used to do a joke in my act about my dad telling us

[00:35:10] because he was a lawyer all those years and he was usually a defense attorney to never speak to the police, to never speak to anyone. If you've been arrested, your response is and will always be, I do not recall and I need an attorney.

[00:35:22] And my dad used to go home from work so angry and he'd go, I don't understand it. Why can't people just shut their goddamn mouth? And I am here to help but I can't help if you won't shut your goddamn mouth. I'm like 10, I'm like well clearly people,

[00:35:40] I'm going to shut up, I know that, I'm not saying anything after this display. So Sam Bangwin Friedman has a big problem. He won't shut up. Listen to what this fool's doing. Sam Bangwin Friedman, the disgraced founder of cryptocurrency exchange FTX isn't doing himself any favors

[00:35:59] and he is in a shit ton of trouble and he will probably go to prison for 20 years. I think it should be for more, forever. Because these people get out and do the same shit over. You know, reference Billy McFarlane from Fire Festival.

[00:36:15] He's out charging $1,800 to talk to him for an hour on the phone. Yeah, whatever. They're still, they're scammers, they're dangerous, they prey upon people, they're predators. No, I know there's stupid people out there but not everybody that did all this was stupid. Tom Brady, jizzle.

[00:36:34] Despite being charged with orchestrating one of the largest financial frauds in history and facing the prospect of spending his life in prison, he's been tweeting and giving interviews with media all in an attempt to defend himself in the court of public opinion. Narcissists always think they know best.

[00:36:49] They always think there's no way someone cannot believe me. So then they do this shit. They go on TV, they're not scared either. They're not, because I didn't do anything wrong. So it's why Murda took the stand. What are you doing?

[00:37:03] Shut up and sit down and we might get you out of this. But you want to get up here and... but they think they know better. Anyway, it's an unusual strategy for a high-profile criminal defendant who oversaw a company that lost billions of dollars of customer money,

[00:37:18] and it has left lawyers not involved in the case aghast. That's a word you don't see in type very often. Since each quotation and each tweet from Bankman Freed is effectively a gift to the prosecutors who can use the material to build their case against him.

[00:37:32] I think every white lawyer... every white collar lawyer... well, blue collar too. A criminal lawyer would say, shut up, keep your mouth shut and let us do the talking, says Rebecca Murlm-Esteen, a lawyer from the firm O Melveny. A trail of communication including eight tweets, a sub-stack newsletter,

[00:37:57] a handful of lengthy interviews with the media, Bankman Freed has left behind and is already coming back to haunt him. For example, a few weeks before he was arrested, Crypto vlogger Tiffany Fong interviewed him by phone and the conversation turned to his campaign contributions. He reportedly donated $440 million

[00:38:16] during the 2022 midterms. During the interview, he admitted to Fong that he had steered money to candidates in a way that's difficult to track. All my Republican donations were dark, he told Fong. And the reason was not for regular tour reasons is because reporters freak the fuck out

[00:38:30] if you donate to a Republican. They're all super liberal and I don't want to have that fight. So I made the Republican ones dark. Well, he was later charged with eight criminal counts including wire fraud and conspiracy to make unlawful political contributions.

[00:38:45] You can't not report your political contributions in this fool just... It's... Yeah, he's just... He also had an encrypted messaging system and he's trying to get everybody to talk to him. He's seeking out interviews. You know what? If I'm his defense attorneys, either I quit

[00:39:09] or I just go fuck it. I'll take his money. If you don't care, I don't care. If you won't listen, but I would get so frustrated because if you're at this level of defending him and you don't have money to pay your mortgage,

[00:39:21] you don't need this bullshit in your life. You want to get somebody that really wants help and he doesn't think he needs it. If you just... Well, that's the gist of it. We don't need to get in. Bankman Fried says he's nothing like Bernie made of.

[00:39:43] Oh, I think you are. Here's where you're not like Bernie. Bernie got up and put on real pants and a shirt every day. Have on a ripped up t-shirt and a hoodie that doesn't fit and you haven't combed your hair in seven days.

[00:39:55] Bernie got up like a normal adult, put on clothes, went to an office. Obviously he did very bad things too, but that's the only way you're not like Bernie is Bernie gave a shit about how he looked. This one, it's all part of the cool kid club.

[00:40:10] If anybody came in for a job interview or to get me to hire them for anything and looked like this, his get up, no, because I dig your sneaky and you don't give a shit. Anyway, he's just ratting himself out left and right

[00:40:26] and it just made me laugh because there's that old joke in my act. Update! Okay, so I have two Tiger King. Remember Tiger King? Everybody. First of all, there's this guy called Urban Explorer. He's on YouTube. I've watched some of his stuff. Yeah, it's pretty cool.

[00:40:50] He got down to Oklahoma into Joe Exotic's house. It's abandoned. The video is 12 minutes long. We'll put it in the schnotes. Carol Baskin got it from the lawsuits. You had to watch Tiger King. I can't explain it all. I'll make it fast in case you haven't seen it.

[00:41:12] There were over 189 Tigers on the ground. They were in Colorado. Then this guy, I guess you can just go on foot. He made it and he videos the whole inside and it is something to see because after Joe went to prison the employee people, some of them still

[00:41:28] and Carol's people just lived there but they didn't have any money so it turned into this like they let horses inside to sleep through the winter. Crazy shit! Yeah. They started being arrested. Then Jeff Lowe left the zoo and tried to start another zoo further down the road

[00:41:48] which was shut down before it could open. I went to the Tiger King Zoo when everything was abandoned and Carol Baskin was the owner of it. Yes, she won everything from land to houses and vehicles through a court proceeding and then it's the thing

[00:42:02] but if you have any interest this guy's name is Nick Summers. Yeah, I like them. Yeah, they even had the shirts hanging up. It was like time stopped. It's so, so, so creepy. Remember those people who used to wear those shirts in the show? Volunteer tour guide?

[00:42:18] Some of those are still hanging up on plastic hanger. Yeah, it's... He was exploring the house I found more than I thought from old photographs, clothes still hanging, furniture and so much more left behind. This was a surreal experience walking through it all.

[00:42:34] You could tell someone just up and left and already leaving everything behind and then he was left in Travis's room and bullet and casings. The house is located in the middle of the zoo grounds beyond here and creepy was the feeling

[00:42:46] you still got walking through this whole house. The windows are busted out. I mean, I don't... At one point and all I kept thinking because it's Oklahoma I was like dude, this place clearly nobody's been in and

[00:43:00] all I kept thinking is you're going to step on a snake. That's all I kept thinking and then about six minutes in he goes Right! Careful, careful, careful Um... So you can go look at that. So the update is everybody many many people

[00:43:18] many many people as Donald would say many people are saying that Carol killed her husband her husband Don Right? Carol says Don disappeared to customer aid. That he always said he was going to go. Well here's an update. Tiger King star Carol Baskin says husband Don Lewis

[00:43:43] disappeared in 1997 never to be seen by the public again but a property he owned in Costa Rica wasn't sold until years later leaving it suspiciously empty while things blew over. So that's weird. I still think Carol did it. I'm just saying I think so she can't sue me.

[00:44:03] I don't know that she did it. We won't put her in the show. No. A recently on earth report from the US Customs Agents claims agents had tracked Don to Costa Rica where he owned a 200 acre farm 200 acres farmland of various properties and found him alive

[00:44:21] and well. This is US Customs officials. Despite him disappearing from Florida leaving behind his van next to an airfield and no further trace. The post visited Lewis's last known address in Costa Rica. Two story triplex in the country's capital San Jose although he officially went missing in 1997

[00:44:39] a listing to sell the property didn't appear until 2000 three years later well she owned all of his stuff upon them declaring he's dead it takes a while to declare to declare missing person dead but they were husband and wife so she gets all of his stuff so maybe

[00:44:55] he's going to be in the city and he's going to be in the city and he's going to be in the city so she gets all of his stuff so maybe she sold it the home is in the something district one of the city's

[00:45:09] richest neighborhoods and now filled with gated entrances cameras and security guards a long time resident of the neighborhood was able to confirm they saw Lewis living in the home around the time of his disappearance when further pressed they when pressed further they declined to comment Lewis had signed

[00:45:23] over the property to Carol before he disappeared although she is not ever visited Costa Rica yeah and yeah the friend said he told me he was going to Costa Rica that weekend and he invited me to go with him I remember I never

[00:45:39] gave him a firm answer but he said he was going to move his cats and everything to Costa Rica according to legal documents Lewis was the sole owner of the house in San Jose but had created a last will and testament

[00:45:49] in Costa Rica just three months prior to his disappeared signing over his properties and assets to Baskin right why would he do that if he's just going to run away exactly the two experts deemed it a hundred percent forgery

[00:46:03] but we all knew that oh she did that I see before yeah the US will signed over 10 million in assets to Bassett leaving his family daughters Donna, Linda and Gail out completely in 2000 Lewis's San Jose was found to be listed on a real estate website

[00:46:19] owned by Alan Shryer a romantic partner of Baskin's following Lewis's disappearance he told the post yeah somebody either maybe they really like animals can I pet your tiger can I pet your tiger cubs please uh I don't know the current tenants of Lewis's last home

[00:46:45] only know him through the Netflix show which was brought his missing persons case into a national spotlight various lawyers who had done business refused to comment whether he is in fact alive somewhere on the island I don't think that man would do that to his three daughters

[00:46:59] yeah no way uh oh Lewis who has said to have had many affairs with women in Costa Rica is also rumored to have shady business interest in the Central American country yeah I would assume a lot of people are yes triggering speculation

[00:47:19] around him being alive that she said she said Baskin said they said my husband Don Lewis is alive and well in Costa Rica yet all the drama is made of me something to do with his disappearance well if you really think he's alive and well

[00:47:33] then why are you cashing in on all these things right they've been declared dead I don't know I don't think we'll ever find out because I think he went through a um a feeder thing got chopped up and was given his food a wood chopper no meat grinder

[00:47:53] yeah the big cats update then I'm done with updates twig this is about Elon Twitter layoffs continue Elon Musk companies fires 50 more employees amid relentless cost he also fired the guy who rolled out the whole blue check program that none of us understood

[00:48:17] that person should have been fired that's one out of 50 I agree with I'm not sure about the other 49 Twitter undertook another round of job cuts this week with around 50 people being laid off on Saturday with this the company staff is shrunk by at least 70% send Musk takeover 70%

[00:48:37] what is he doing I don't know me and Lucer talk about like is there a master plan that he has or is he just impulsive I think impulsive yeah he's a super in November last year the social media giant laid off half its work force

[00:48:53] as four advertisers pulled spending well they're gonna pull spending let's say I'm Kellogg's and I want to tell people about my new Pop-Tart flavor how's that good for making something up I just made that up on the fly right I love a good Pop-Tart Jameson Pop-Tarts Heated

[00:49:15] but they're not gonna advertise on Twitter if the next seven tweets are about so and so's a Nazi you know crazy I've noticed the turn in my feed I don't follow a Marjorie Taylor green or green whatever her name is

[00:49:31] but I why do I get 20 tweets a day from that are retweeted about her saying shit well good or bad I'm just it's like up there's a push going on it's subtle whatever I'll stay on but I mean I've noticed I'm just saying wholesome

[00:49:49] things are not gonna want to advertise when this is a verbal shit show Twitter I'm pointing at the phone according to report by the information the jobs cuts impacted multiple engineering teams including those supporting advertising technology the main Twitter app as well as technical infrastructure

[00:50:09] to keep Twitter systems up and running well I haven't noticed any problems with that seems fine well exact numbers are not available reports suggest that Twitter now has only 2,000 employees are there any termites that work for Twitter yeah there's three I always think

[00:50:25] how come I never meet anybody that works for like Twitter or Instagram or Facebook I know the I get there the same I know but you should meet them out of the bar don't they ever go out but it's only 2,000 people out of

[00:50:39] the bar and never meet one it's like a leprechaun that's good math the company has implemented since October slew of what no one will tweet you back from Twitter these people never answer anything get on the chat room I was in a chat room with a man

[00:50:59] named Jeremy that if I ever met in real life I would kill if I found out I had a week left to live I'd go find Jeremy from the help chat room and then I'm like this isn't a person named Jeremy it's just some computer

[00:51:13] regurgitating bullshit ask us any questions so I asked a question sorry we don't have anything on that well then stop saying any question within India Twitter is now closed two of its three offices and fired more than 90% of just over 200 of its staff members

[00:51:33] must noted that the service was experiencing a massive drop in revenue as advertisers pulled spending here's the weird thing too I have a blue check I don't really see ads I don't know where they are occasionally scroll through to cares people act like it's their personal diary

[00:51:53] what is this who's writing in my diary I don't care what's on there I like tiktok I'm moving I like Instagram I know that that is Mark Zuckerberg some somebody who reviewed the special who's going to tell her that Instagram is owned by

[00:52:13] I know but that doesn't mean I can't like one of his products I don't particularly like him and I don't really love Facebook but I like Instagram there's all kinds of people well you know Nike make some good sports stuff and their golf stuff sucks well you know

[00:52:33] can't do it all I guess it was just a shitty little comment I don't remember who wrote it it was like a review person it was just to be snarky at the end who's going to tell her I never said they weren't owned by the same people

[00:52:49] who's going to tell you that I already know that let's do that that's why I don't write following the layoff dozens of former Twitter employees accused the company of making various legal violations stemming from muskas takeover that's hard to say muskas the allegations including targeted women

[00:53:10] for layoffs and failing to pay promised severance yeah he hasn't paid any of that it's facing at least three complaints filed with the US Labor Board claiming workers were fired for criticizing the company attempting to organize a strike and other conduct prohibited by federal

[00:53:24] protected by federal labor laws we'll see here's the problem the wheels of justice turn so slowly that you know you need to go get a different job if he fired you even if it wasn't right you can't count on the legal system to get your rent back

[00:53:40] by next month holy shit they found it this is crazy the president of Mexico president andre manuel lopez obrador that's a great name it's amazing that's right Mexico's president posted a photo on his social media account Saturday showing this is real what he

[00:54:16] because I googled the shit out of this to make sure I wasn't reading something you termites it's just some bullshit made up of what he said to appeared to be a mythological woodland spirit similar to an elf and when you go to the show notes you'll see it

[00:54:39] president andre manuel lopez obrador did not seem to be joking when he posted the photo of an a looks I get I even went to youtube how do you say this word because I don't speak Spanish ALUX a looks a mischievous woodland spirit in Mayan folklore he wrote

[00:55:01] that the photo was taken three days ago by an engineer and it appears to be in a looks adding everything is mystical I like a president who believes in this shit the nighttime photo shows a tree with a branch forming what looks to be

[00:55:17] a halo of hair and what may be stars forming the eyes figures okay well no here's why they're not stars because there's no other stars in the picture and there just happens to be two right where eyeballs would be I would more likely tell you

[00:55:31] it's a tree frog I mean it's eyes I don't know that it's an elf but but it's not two stars placed midway down a tree just and there's no other stars in the photo no the president has long expressed reverence for indigenous cultures and beliefs engineers and work

[00:55:51] workers are in the yucatan peninsula building they're constructing a tourist train the train that is his pet project good for him according to traditional Mayan belief the luxes are small mischievous creatures that inhabit forests and fields and are prone to play tricks on people like hiding things

[00:56:07] some people leave small offerings to appease them I would why not what's the worst could happen you don't get it back whatever you left who cares the ancient Maya civilization reached its height from 300 AD to 900 AD on the yucatan peninsula in adjacent parts of Central America

[00:56:25] but the Maya's descendants continue to live in the peninsula many continue to speak the Mayan language and wear traditional clothing while also conserving traditional foods crops religion and medicine practices despite the conquest of the region by the Spanish between 1527 and 1546 so go look at it

[00:56:47] you be the judge I like that the president put it out there though and it doesn't look photoshop but I don't know anything could be photoshopped I don't know holy shit this is crazy I can't believe people

[00:57:06] I would devote my life to these things if I was born like a bazillionaire like Prince Harry has always whined in that he can't go do something do this a famed treasure ship carrying near a 5 million in current value that was lost to the pacific ocean

[00:57:22] in the 1800s has been found by a pair of nautical sleuths go be a nautical sleuth Harry that would be fun or go look for something give you something to do the SS Pacific an iconic vessel captain by Jefferson Davis Hall brother-in-law to Confederate president Jefferson Davis

[00:57:42] sunk off the coast of Cape Flattery in Washington state in 1875 on a voyage from British Columbia San Francisco she collided with another ship known as the Orpheus after a second maid on board the latter mistook the pacific's lights for that of a nearby lighthouse wow

[00:58:06] the tragedy in the water the deadliest at the time took 325 lives as the ship sunk to the ocean's bottom with $180,000 at the time in gold and then the Orpheus reached the shore before sinking later that its night in its crew did it disembark safely

[00:58:26] well did anybody not try to go back and get these people for more than a century the pacific's whereabouts was a mystery until two men, Matthew McCauley and Jeff Hummel from the north west shipwreck alliance finally spotted the sunken treasure steamboat they had seen two circular depressions

[00:58:44] thought to be the steers wheel paddles in the seabed not far off from the side of the wreck it is something that the alliance anticipated in their elaborate search the site required close and repeated examination sure enough we were able to image both paddle wheels

[00:58:58] with sonar in the view although its precise location is yet to be publicly announced, why? because we don't want little little pigsters coming out there trying to steal stuff you got money they've been granted rights to exclusivity good for them yes rather than plunder the lost gold

[00:59:20] the alliance instead wants to open a museum putting artifacts of this is what thank you finally somebody's doing the right thing I mean you should be able to keep a few gold bars or something you did a lot of work

[00:59:30] you did a lot of work but could we put the rest of it on display in a museum for everybody instead of auctioning it off who wants a shoe from a sunken ship starting the bidding at $30,000 the original give us yeah

[00:59:46] they want to open a museum first there will be a legal window for descendants of those associated with the pacific to claim ownership of parts recovered fair enough we believe the wreck is an incredible state of preservation so we expect that the artifacts we will cover will have

[01:00:00] considerable historical significance we're also very much connected to the stories of all those who perished on that fateful day in 1875 which tempers our celebration of this discovery it's okay those people have been dead forever right only two people survived what?

[01:00:20] the ship was carrying members of the region's elite in addition to miners returning home for the winter as well as 41 people designated as quote, Chinamen yeah no human remains besides is likely no there's gonna be no human remains some shark came by there and went oh breakfast yeah

[01:00:40] that's awesome though and good for these two guys let's get a museum going I would go yeah I would pay $30 $30 I'll pay $30 to get in I think if you go over $30 it gets a little nutty for just a museum that only kind of dorky

[01:00:58] people like me are gonna wanna alright we're moving on well let's do this news right here it's Girl Scout Cookie Time I found the kids at the grocery store you still have two weeks I don't know from the moment I'm saying this but the tiktok time's running down

[01:02:14] Girl Scouts S'mores Lemon Ups Tree Foils Trafoils Dosey Doze Tagalongs Taufi Tastic Raspberry Rally it's a new online exclusive if you like raspberry don't say you didn't learn it here don't say this podcast doesn't have information that's valuable to your daily existence

[01:02:40] I bought a lot of these and then I freeze them and then you have them all year long I'm a thin men person and then my sister I go that's because you think you're like a thousand year old person who likes mint this made me laugh so hard

[01:02:56] I'm moving on Girl Scouts of Southern Appalachians Girls Scouts are great but I would like brownies better that's the group before in Canada what do they call Girl Guides Brownies? so it's the same I felt like brownies we were doing more stuff outside and I'm an outdoor cat

[01:03:22] I don't like crafts my cat is not an outdoor cat cause well she's found luxury I mean you want to lay under a bush or you want to come in on this couch and watch a murder trial I give her a tiny piece of cheese

[01:03:42] they're not supposed to have cheese but she seems to be fine with it but I bring her treats to her on her blanket on the couch so she's not fat I asked you for a sandwich last time I was here and you said no

[01:03:56] you asked for a sandwich I said make one they're in the refrigerator if you want one but baby cat doesn't have hands you do this baby laps one of my favorite actors in the whole world and I don't even know enough actors to really have favorites or not

[01:04:12] I love Brian Cox the guy from succession if you don't know who I'm talking about he's an old Scottish guy and I love everything he's in he's been in Nazi stuff he's been in crazy British my mom loves acorn he's got some big Brit box stuff

[01:04:30] the murder shows and all that he's been in everything so succession is an awesome show it's basically a combination of the Trump family the Murdoff family just any rich family in charge of a media empire and the man who plays his oldest son there's three kids

[01:04:50] it's just like the trumps and they're vying for their father's affection and to take over the business that's the whole thing the daughter who's smarter or the son Jeremy Strong is the guy who plays the son and whatever he is doing bothers the shit out of me

[01:05:06] because he's the other ones are all fine but I can't stand it but I like the show so much I just try to ignore it but he's always like I don't know his way of talking do you think we should go but it's good enough

[01:05:26] that I hate him the character so that means he's doing something right I guess well succession star Brian Cox doubles down on criticism of Jeremy Strong's acting style it's fucking annoying because I'll throw this whole show whenever he gets mad because he's Scottish and most of the time

[01:05:48] you don't hear the Scottish accent but when he goes fuck off it's just an old school guy guy I do not know the man I'm just saying as a fan Brian Cox is now backing down on his thoughts about Jeremy Strong's acting style he's a very good actor

[01:06:06] he's set in a town and country interview and the rest of the ensemble is okay with this but knowing a character and what the character does is only part of the skill set of Strong being always so the guy's always in character those people

[01:06:22] I'm never going to be hanging out with that crowd I'm going to be with the people that are oh we're on break let's go have a sig like normal he said him always being a character it's fucking annoying don't get me going on it in the same interview

[01:06:42] Cox brought up a YouTube video from 2009 where he teaches a toddler to be or not to be I can't say it soliloquy he goes there is something in the little boy that is able to convey the character it's just there and it's accessible

[01:07:00] it's not a big fucking religious experience I agree then they asked him Jeremy what he thinks about Brian saying all this he goes everyone's entitled to their feelings I also think Brian Cox for ample for example has earned the right to say whatever the fuck he wants

[01:07:18] so there was no need to address or do that damage control but it makes me happy that he finds it annoying too and he has to work with the guy I find it annoying as a viewer but to Jeremy's credit

[01:07:36] I don't like the character and I think that's what he's going for but I don't know what the the stammer if that's on purpose or if that's really the way he talks I don't know Yoko Odo is leaving New York first of all for all you younger termites

[01:07:56] Yoko Ono is a woman who was married to John Lennon who was a Beatle who was assassinated he was the Beatle I don't know that's a fight I think the Beatles are fine I've never been like into it but I remember in college there was a lot

[01:08:14] people my age and the Beatles are not of our deal that's my parents deal I don't know anything about who's better Paul McCartney or John Lennon but serious ass arguments I'm like you don't hear these arguments about Fleetwood Mack because we all know it's Stevie

[01:08:30] Christine Mitve wonderful for pop hits but I don't know anyway they lived John Lennon was assassinated outside of the Dakota building and it's a famous building in New York and Yoko honestly I did not know was still alive she's lived there for 50 years she's she's purchased a farm

[01:08:54] somewhere in upstate New York and she's out in the Catskills full time no plans of returning to the Upper West Side I'm wondering how much that'll sell well maybe the kids will take it he's got Julian and Sean hey do you want the Dakota building yeah

[01:09:14] hey man so do you want mom and dad's apartment it's like the whole building yeah Ono and the Beatles legend John had purchased the farm initially as a retreat and to raise Holstein dairy cows come on Ono now leaves a peaceful life

[01:09:32] out of the public spotlight sources say adding that this small town population has just 340 people well they're all gonna know her but she doesn't sound like she gets out very much the main house on the sprawling estate has 4 bedrooms 2 bathrooms and outside Ono grows our own vegetables nearby

[01:09:48] nearby our farmers market and a pizza restaurant Philip Norman in his book John Lennon writes the English he bought a herd of 122 cows and 10 bowls for the farm at one point back in 2013 the farm became a subject of contention when Ono and her son Sean protested fracking

[01:10:06] in the state of New York there was also a rising threat to the farm that sits atop the Marcellus shale a rock formation geologist estimate holds trillions of cubic feet of natural gas despite being wheelchair bound with her health declining in recent years she recently

[01:10:22] revealed that she goes for 4 miles walk a walk a day to beat depression 4 miles in 2017 the now 45 year old Sean pushed her in a wheelchair to receive the National Music Publishers Association Centennial Song Award she says she says the illness has taught her

[01:10:42] so much it remains unclear what her illness is um a bit of source close to staff said the avant garde artist requires round the clock care before we're moving to the farm she really left the sprawling apartment in the Dakota

[01:10:58] I mean if you're gonna be in a wheelchair I wanna be outside somebody just push me out there come get me later it's fine I don't wanna be in an apartment Tokyo in 1933 she was born into a banking family who suffered from starvation during World War II

[01:11:12] they were often forced to barter household items for food while they sought refuge from Allied bombing raids raids um yeah she's 90 so there you go just thought that was a very unnecessary news story but now you know cause you're gonna go what happened to that lady

[01:11:33] well now you know people um any of you termites listen carefully cause you might do you have the first iPhone like in a box I don't I have it but not in a box you have it but not in a box that could still be worth something

[01:11:49] first generation iPhone auctioned off $60,000 $63 sorry 63 that's what it sold for I have the first blackberry and I'm still using it no I'm kidding I'm not but I have it first generation 2007 iPhone so more than $63,000 in auction online Sunday more than a hundred times its original cost

[01:12:15] dubbed the first edition the box had never been opened uh yeah bidding on the phone began at $2,500 all told there were 27 bids that's not that many no uh another unopened first generation iPhone sold for over $39 and a listing by LGC auctions that closed in November just saying

[01:12:43] go through your stuff man maybe you have one maybe you bought it and forgot about it probably probably not I think my friend laurene she always always the first one to get the new iPhone she should always get two it is a lot of money

[01:13:01] but it could be worth all that just saying so this is sort of an update tiny sports segment here um well I did read that the cowboys are going to extend Dak Prescott I'm glad I'm not a cowboy fan just saw him say it live golf

[01:13:21] I've taught you guys a little bit about this it's the other one Greg Normans in charge Saudi Arabian money Saudi Arabian funded you know you decide are you going to take the money from the people who dexterate somebody I'm not just because I would feel

[01:13:41] it's not that I'm morally superior it's the Catholic part of me that would think something bad will happen to me and I feel bad for that man that got dextered and his wife who is alive I don't wouldn't take knowingly I'm not saying maybe I have

[01:13:53] taken Saudi Arabian money but I didn't know it if I did it and you make so much you can make enough money on the PGA tour you don't need especially the ones that left the PGA tour for this horseshit Dustin Johnson you've already got millions like Brooks Kepke

[01:14:07] you've got millions anyway take the judgment out of it which is hard for me to do um so live golf Greg Norman is better than Donald Trump with the talking and the hype he's a good hype man but he said they had all these major

[01:14:25] networks interested in airing live golf well the only one they got I think we talked about it was the CW right one tree house one tree hill house by the river anyway it was on last weekend live golf TV debut was a ratings disaster it was in

[01:14:47] my Copa Mexico I've actually golfed that course very nice um I turned it on because you can I had to go it's not on direct oh yeah it was I found the CW um I didn't even know it was still a network seriously

[01:15:05] even if I didn't judge these people um there was hardly anyone there physically at the tournament like people were hitting balls on the greens and there was no one around the green and one guy the guy yelled for you don't have to do that

[01:15:21] there's no customers you can hit that ball you want and you're not going to hurt anybody the ratings came in at a 0.2 for contacts another CW program world's funniest animals beat them more people watched the world's funniest animals it's um it so so far it's just not no

[01:15:52] um and then people will go how many people were watching the Honda Classic I was I mean I had it on and then it went into a playoff it was good I like to hear Jack Nicholas talk but you know I'm old maybe it's just that

[01:16:04] um and the Honda Classic is always known to be for like middle acts because of where it's positioned in the schedule not a lot of headliners show up there they're going to change that for next year but it's always been a great tournament

[01:16:20] they're going to show up in comers and you know do they have the stars? No no it's probably going to be but I like the course and I like to watch course so anyway there's a little live golf update I'm going to do your crypto queen

[01:16:34] I'm going to this is fascinating then I have a feel good story oh but wait I forgot to talk about um party city I have to so here's the thing I'm talking about bad bath oh my god so my friend Bob I got a turn Bob and Clark

[01:16:56] they went to bed bath and beyond to get two king size pillows and I have the techs for him cause he knows I'm obsessed with it and um they said they were out and it's going to take 2-3 weeks to get them in what a pillow

[01:17:12] there I'm sure I'm like but did you climb the ladder Bob did you get in trouble so I keep talking about bed bath and beyond but it's not the only ones going down in flames closing a lot of stores Walmart, the gap the gap went so far downhill

[01:17:30] wait Walmart closed? Walmart strategically closes they close and then they open whatever but the last one is party city now when my sister kids were super little they loved party city and I'm like fine especially in the winter in the Midwest

[01:17:50] there's nothing to do let's go to party city let's buy some hats like so you it makes sense but they're like can I be this for Halloween it's like June let me just yeah you can be that far anyway every time I would check out

[01:18:04] and I let the kids buy whatever they want literally whatever I mean within reason but my bill would only be like 28 bucks I have like I have 7,000 balloons I have 3 masks for Mardi Gras they don't even know what that is they're 7

[01:18:22] and I always thought how do they make money it doesn't seem like they're selling enough well they're not doing well America's bracing for another mass accidents of retail stores across the nation this year with more than 800 big box locations set to close from California to New York

[01:18:43] and the iconic names to announce are downsizing includes bad bad and beyond Walmart party gap in party city at least 803 stores set to be shuttered over the rest of 2023 and with many forced into desperate costs cutting measures and rampant inflation and declining bottom lines that now the

[01:19:01] party city by my house looks closed they guessed I really thought holy shit this one already closed because I went in it for this video I got this podcast I went to party city and it's just dark on the outside like there's nothing in the window

[01:19:19] and I opened the door and I went in it was very nice it was clean and bright but none of that is conveyed through the outside bed, bath and beyond the retailer once owned more than 1500 stores with a recent purge has got it down to 480

[01:19:38] because you know why I missed the internet and that's why he doesn't have Bob and Clark's billows um oh yeah the company is suffering but we don't need to know more about that and beyond everybody knows I'm obsessed with that oh second on the list is Tuesday morning

[01:20:01] if you guys have ever been in one there's one at the lake it's at the bottom level of an outlet mall I thought it looked like if my mom hosted a garage sale it was a shit show now there was fun stuff in there

[01:20:17] but it was like going at your own risk dig on your own picture frames just house like a mini home goods is if you've never been in one they're shutting down more than half of their locations I know but how about clean your shit up guys huh

[01:20:33] I can't even walk down some of the aisles you look at all this stuff I'm like I ain't picking all that up nice go to a different aisle I'm not even gonna work here um the home goods company is closing 265 stores this is struggle this is Tuesday morning

[01:20:47] they're gonna have a second wave of closure in three years massive reorganization file for chapter 11 11 bankruptcy uh Virginia's getting a bunch wax Georgia Colorado the gaps closing 74 stores the gap went downhill I used to love the equality like you buy a t-shirt and the sleeves

[01:21:11] aren't cut the same length like I don't know what happened to the gap maybe I'll try to find out um meanwhile party cities expected to downsize 12 locations currently up for auction across the nation oh they're up for auction maybe I'll buy one maybe we could do the pubcast

[01:21:29] yeah I can put on different hats and stuff um um the store is another big brand of face bankruptcy with a further 10 stores closing throughout February the state that will lose the most party city locations is New York with five followed by Michigan with four

[01:21:45] so if there's anything you want get on down there termites and you know what also on the list is West Virginia Missouri Georgia Illinois Iowa Louisiana New Jersey Oklahoma Oregon and Texas are all losing one yeah it's so sad macy's is closing his shit done too

[01:22:07] but that's another one macy's always got shit on the floor there's stuff on the floor a lot and maybe it's because they don't have enough workers maybe the workers that are there don't care I don't know um I'm gonna do the crypto queen don't okay

[01:22:26] alright here's my feel good story we're gonna close this up this was really awesome and um strangers befriend man with Down syndrome after mom offers to pay someone to spend time with him this is in st. Louis in st. Charles where a lot of my cousins live
