[00:00:36] I really think they may be the nicest people in the United States I really think so and the whole state is underrated People just don't know even other Midwest people like Missouri people my cousin Mario has went up there to the Dells

[00:00:50] But a lot of Midwest people don't think of Minnesota and Wisconsin in the winter. We just stay where we're at in Missouri or wherever Ohio Stay where you're at if you have like so many great things the shows were great sold out everybody was so nice

[00:01:03] Milk Milwaukee was first But first what I'm drinking is a Hodag beer Now what is a Hodag? A Hodag is this dragon! It's the mythical animal of Wisconsin, but I'm gonna tell you all about it

[00:10:29] And two more elizabeth wassa brought tony bigfoot. Oh, yeah these beers. I remember seeing these by the station past well's chips Uh, they're political themed how crazy is that and then judy pat and sue brought more beer cranberry treats and um

[00:10:47] A garlic parmesan popcorn. It's the amish thing you put it on top of your popcorn. Yes Well done Well done wisconsin. Guess what else I did in milwaukee Yes You'll never guess Yes, I had many I had oh, yeah, I went to the milwaukee broth house twice

[00:11:06] And had bratwurst for lunch, but I went and toured the paps mansion A few people don't remember paps beer if they still make pbr paps I've been going to milwaukee since I would 20 since i've been 25 years old

[00:11:18] I did not never know. I don't know why I didn't know you can tour the paps family mansion 15 bucks. It's an hour long tour Fascinating and our tour guide. She was one of those ladies that was really into it Almost where you've crossed the line in the nerddom

[00:11:35] but But I was extremely grateful that I had This lady because she knew the answers every single question. She's worked there forever It's 20 a 20,000 square foot mansion built in 1892 and it is is very similar to down to nabby The american version it's not quite as

[00:11:56] It's not on 5,000 acres. Let's put it that way and it doesn't have as much But it has its servants quarters And then their kitchen and the bell that would ring for each room just like in downtown abbey

[00:12:06] It was I could have done it twice, but I didn't have time, but I could have I would have Highly recommend it Because some people who live in milwaukee said they'd never even been in them all the termites that I met when I was out and about um

[00:12:20] The chicago people didn't know you could do that and I'm like you should go it's an hour. It's five minutes from downtown And ample parking There is no peps brewery anymore though only miller like brewery you can tour up there

[00:12:36] It is cool because they have the old beer monk caves and all that stuff And my favorite part is at the end where I have to look at an adult seriously and go

[00:12:43] Could I try miller light like I've never tasted it just so I can get a free one Oh, I a line in cougar. Can I taste that? So the ho dag I never heard of this

[00:12:56] And again, I don't but maybe I just drink too much in wisconsin. I forget things. I don't know In american folklore the ho dag is a fearsome critter resembling a large bullhorn

[00:13:07] Carnivore with a thick row of curved spines on it back. So it kind of looks like a dragon It's said to be born from the ashen of a of cremated oxen as the incarnation

[00:13:17] Of the accumulation of the abuse the animals had suffered at the hands of their masters Very nice The history of the hodag is strongly tied to the city of rinelander where it was claimed to have been discovered The hodag has been figured prominently in early paul bunion stories

[00:13:34] well This is the origin in 1893 one year after the pap's family mansion was finished Um, they reported the discovery of a hodag in rinelander wisconsin The articles claim the hodag had the head of a frog The grinning face of a giant elephant

[00:13:54] thick short legs set off by huge claws the back of a dinosaur and a long tail with spears at the end The reports were instigated by well-known wisconsin land surveyor timber cruiser and prankster Eugene shepherd who rounded up the local people to capture the animal

[00:14:11] They the group reported they needed used dynamite to kill the beast A photograph for the remains of the charred beast was released to the media It was the fiercest strangest most frightening monster ever to set razor shark claws on the earth

[00:14:24] It became extinct after its main food stores all white bulldogs What This guy claimed to have captured another one in 1896, but then he had to he said it was alive too But then he had to admit it was a hoax because people were coming from the smithsonian

[00:14:42] I bet that's scary. That'll scare this shit out of you. I was kind of kidding man But uh anywhere um rinelanders still calls itself the home of the hodag and they have a music festival. It's fun

[00:14:54] Yeah, it's a really cool looking thing. Um, there's a giant statue in front of the chamber of commerce and So there you go now. I know

[00:15:03] That guy chickened out all the smithsonian had to do was announce they were coming he's like, I'm sorry. I made it up. I'm sorry. Sorry Um, all right, so moving on to update Ralphie the demon bulldog Ralphie the demon dog of niagara has finally been adopted What? Yep

[00:15:30] They finally honed in on ralfie's perfect adopter a man named jason who trains dogs professionally for the department of energy in tennessee Ralphie will join jason's other packs of pack of dogs consisting of a french bulldog a doxen and a german shepherd

[00:15:45] Although the shelter originally specified ralfie should go to a family without other dogs They said through training that pup was able to get over his reactivity around other dogs He was said to a six-week boarding and training program After a third adoption attempt did not pan out

[00:16:00] They said jason is uniquely qualified to care for ralfie because his two dogs also had bite histories and just like ralfie Before joining joining his household. He will provide him with structure and give him an outlet for all that frenchy energy

[00:16:15] Ron's frenchy has energy for a maybe maybe one hour a day It's in 15 minutes spurts There's like four 15 minutes spurts and then he prefers to sleep I didn't I don't picture them They called they called jason a unicorn adopter. He's already dedicated to facebook and instagram

[00:16:34] Uh accounts so fans can follow ralfie's journey as he acclimates to his new family. I want I look to follow him. I can't find them The children need to go do that for us Help me out kids Yeah, there should be I want the instagram one

[00:16:49] I don't really go on facebook all of that Not as much as I go on instagram He's also posted several updates of his life including from a hike he took with The reformed whole jerk dog and pictures of the pup chowing down on a bagel

[00:17:05] There you go ralfie has made it out Oh, I forgot I forgot queen news I think jason will be successful Docsons can have Patrick my brother and ellie they've had

[00:17:19] Docsons and they can really have minds of their owns. They can be like we used to say about luke worst best dog ever Luke he was hilarious, but he did whatever the fuck he wanted There wasn't much training luke it was like having another

[00:17:33] Tiny person in the house. It was sometimes hilarious and sometimes just an asshole like So I think if he can train the german shepherd and the doxon And another french bulldog he can handle ralfie I need the children to go look

[00:17:49] So many termites still I'm at two backstage those kids are nice. I don't remember their names, but um youngsters should they could they introduce themselves as the children And I'm like you can come backstage and say hi, but there's 20 seconds left in this basketball game

[00:18:05] And I need to concentrate just stand just hang right here. I'll be right there. They were so nice um This is an update. Uh, this is queen news that is ridiculous Wisconsin i'm disappointed because I love wisconsin

[00:18:19] Wisconsin first graders were told they couldn't sing rainbow land by dolly parton and miley syris because it was too controversial The song is about set accepting others first of all in first grade. No one knows what they're singing So it doesn't matter if it's controversial

[00:18:35] It's like one time in the car when my sister's the twin girls they were probably nine or ten and they were singing despacito And none of us speak spanish. So I googled the lyrics what it all means

[00:18:49] I'm like, do you have any idea what they're saying back there? And but it's all filthy I was like, oh my god, you should be so glad this is not in english But the girls don't know they wouldn't have known if it wasn't english

[00:19:08] No, the beams probably doesn't Students in the first class guys in wisconsin were excited to sing a song about coming together and love each other by dolly parton and miley syris

[00:19:16] But school administrators said this song was too controversial preparing for their spring concert a class of students at higher elementary school In wisconsin about 20 miles west of uh, milwaukee They were planning to sing rainbow land

[00:19:29] Um sarah schindler a school parent told the times that her daughter was excited to sing the song Which she had never heard before we loved dolly parton schindler told the times however Administrators quashed the song We can't sing it anymore. The daughter said

[00:19:44] Um, the lady reached out to her daughter's teacher and the superintendent of school and was asked why the song was removed She was informed it was deemed to counter for by whom By whom Right Here's the lyrics

[00:20:00] I had to look them up because I'm like, okay. What does it say? You know Living in rainbow land the skies are blue and things are grand wouldn't be nice to live in paradise

[00:20:08] Where we're all free to be exactly who we are. Let's all dig deep down inside brush the judgment and fear aside Make wrong things right and end the fight because promise ain't nobody gonna win Ain't nobody tell me nothing wrong song paddles What is wrong with that

[00:20:29] In a statement the superintendent suggested the song Checked with the school principal to determine if the song would be acceptable When the principal reviewed the song along with the strict district policy about controversial issues and classrooms they determined You said the principal who's they

[00:20:49] That the song could be deemed to controversial in accordance with the policy Yeah representatives for partners sirens cannot be reached or did not immediately respond Uh, huh. My first graders were Decided to sit when will this end another tweet somebody else was oh parents sent

[00:21:11] Oh in a later tweet somebody said it'd been um It'd been reinstated after a bunch of parents sent emails to the administration So we'll see Who's got the time for this shit? Those kids could be singing Filthy things and they wouldn't know the difference

[00:21:29] You're we're the ones that'll know the difference and if you could just check your brain and go they don't know who cares Schindler told the times that the school board had a conservative flip in recent years

[00:21:40] And has since instituted some policy changes that have been causing some controversy in our community Mm-hmm It's walkie. Shall it's 20 miles west of Milwaukee. Yeah Yeah Dolly should respond Or let Miley she's always mowed it off. She don't care let her Miley

[00:22:36] I had houston going all the way only because everybody said they were supposed to I don't know enough about it, but He he didn't win. Yeah, he did not win Uh

[00:24:55] He went on to urge readers put aside that I am gay and that I am in prison for now Um, well, I think the prison part is probably the most

[00:25:03] The biggest problem. Um, oh also that I forget that I use drugs in my past and that I had more than one boyfriend at once And that carol hates my guts This this all has not a thing to do with me being able to be your voice

[00:25:21] Well, the libertarians are pissed because they're like, you know, we don't need every weirdo jumping into our bucket just because just because uh Yeah The libertarian party angela mc artel Uh slammed his announcement. She told tmsz that anyone can run for office as a libertarian

[00:43:57] Terminal in midtown. Why need to go look at this? I was right there in midtown But the shaking was caused by elevator repairs and did not cause I don't care Here's the other thing. I don't want to know that the elevators already need repairing

[00:44:11] Workers didn't know that when they felt a tremor in the building and feared it was going to collapse Bridget divine tweeted that she was working at the building when it felt like the floor dropped five feet Working at one of the evacuated in Madison. They're reporting

[00:44:31] Multiple floors are reporting this 13 33 and 60 so far they say they're in Vesaday and there's no cause for concern It was very very scary It was completed in 2020 is breast and abs foam best known for its observation platform called summit one

[00:46:17] Who is fascinated with lori valo and chad? What's his face day belt? Remember the lady in idaho who her kids went missing and then they were turned out dead And he's a cult guy and she went with him Well, she's been in in

[00:46:32] Psychiatric institution. They're trying to prove she's crazy so she's not responsible for anything Right. You weren't crazy when you lied over and over and over you were Completely sane enough to know that you should lie to get it and you did lie. So I don't think she's crazy

[00:46:49] What do we think about this? Well, here's the sad news for you paddles You love the death penalty and this judge ruled that no death penalty will be allowed Prosecutors can't try but it's a good thing though because she

[00:47:03] Didn't as far as we know actually killed them herself. I think he did it the boyfriend And if you didn't actually do it yourself, I don't know that the death penalty is well Well Our trial is going to be in on april 3rd for you true crime people

[00:47:23] You want to go out there and take your sign and protest in front of the thing draw a little canadian flag on it See you could get your shout out Little maple leaf. We love the death penalty Just some you westerners

[00:47:43] That's right. God damn yee-haw is out there She she's not she's just gonna be tried for probably life imprisonment So but that's something to look forward to if you're a true crime person

[00:47:58] Can we talk about going to the paltry? Yeah, I'm a little obsessed with all that because I don't know what's wrong with her face Why does she keep making these weird facial movements like? And then to say out loud

[00:48:14] Well, did this accident ruin your trip? Well, I lost a half a day of skiing You're a billionaire go every fucking monday She and then to be so arrogant that you assume if someone Physically bumps into you they're automatically gonna rape you. Who said you're that hot?

[00:48:34] You have stuff you both have snow ski suits on nobody's gonna strip down and just rape because she's like I thought what was this something like Groping is someone attacking me. She I am starting to think though that she That he skied into her. I am believing but

[00:48:54] I think she got nothing else going on She wanted to sue him for one dollar so that all this would happen and she's in the newspaper You know, she's on every website all day long now Clear her name. She did admit she left the accident

[00:49:10] Because she had basically assistant She hired ski instructors for her kids and the only reason they said that she did that Is because you get to cut the line deal and then she this accident occurs She leaves and tells the instructors to deal with that

[00:49:26] It's against the court of the mountain, which that's what this midwest person would know nothing about that No in st. Louis. We created this place called Hidden valley ranch Well, let's stop him hidden valley. I know it was hidden valley snow mountain I mean

[00:49:47] I know my friends went we were like 18. They didn't have just opened None of us know how to ski at all like we don't even know how to put them on We don't know anything

[00:49:57] But then I looked around and I always think of my dad because he's a lawyer and I think of insurance claims and I think of What could happen? and as of Putting on the skis. I realized No one in this room knows how no one not just me

[00:50:14] No one knows how and we're all gonna do it And then we're all gonna go on that ice mountain because it hadn't been snowing enough So they were shooting the snow out of the thing and then that freezes and later it is at night

[00:50:26] Yeah, I went down once. I mean I hit probably 10 people when they're when they're asking gwenna Did you stop? I'm like, I wouldn't have time to stop at all the people I hit That was like, sorry, buddy

[00:50:37] Just keep moving and then I sat on my ass and went down the rest of the hill And I never did it again Oh, I did it one boy's eye to help and I fell there too and I lost both skis and one pole

[00:50:49] At the end of the accident all I had left was one pole and all I was worried about is do I have to pay for those rental things Or will somebody find them for me with a snowmobile? Can I pay somebody to do that? It's probably cheaper than

[00:51:01] I didn't have any money. I was working at the funny bone Like a middle act. I didn't have money for any of it. Um Anyway, I think she's gonna be found not guilty Gwyneth Yeah, the guy seems a little

[00:51:15] Well, he didn't report it till three years later. That's problematic and then I don't know. I haven't seen enough of it because I didn't know it was on youtube till just today I've just been watching clips Yeah, yeah Um, all right this California

[00:51:39] As my aunts would say it California You're getting your 128 billion dollar high speed train that can hit speeds up to 200 miles an hour that could soon take you from Los angeles to vegas in two hours. Wow

[00:51:53] That's phenomenal. That is exciting. I wish I that's a reason. I wish I still live there Yep, california is set to spend 128 or 218 billion on a new high speed train that will take passengers from l.a. to billion 218 billion It's a 218 month california

[00:52:19] Nobody's nobody's economics makes sense the whole country america. Here's our debt. Here's our deficit. Well, let's give these people some money We don't have any fucking money. You just said we don't have any money

[00:52:29] California every every four years. We're so broke. We're gonna have to do this and then yeah I don't I don't understand government enough. I don't Do you want a high speed gambling train or a high speed gambling train or education? I vote for the train

[00:52:44] I'm a train. Um, I need to get to vegas. Let's put the kids on the train and I'll teach them math at the craft table There's a way to make the train educational and then I'm gonna teach them harder math at um blackjack

[00:52:57] And then I'm gonna get them into some pie gal poker with my friend lorraine. She can teach them that there's gonna be a learning experience Across the board. We're gonna go to shows at night. You're gonna learn about the blue man group

[00:53:07] You're gonna learn about impersonators. We're gonna go see an Elvis and michael jackson And then maybe some kids want to do that for it's a wonderful educational tool Yeah What else can I teach them?

[00:53:20] Well, I have my friend connet the morage teach them about hospitality and how to manage acts and how to take care of performers There that's a job hotel management Yeah, so great I Yeah, I can introduce them to boys to men

[00:53:38] They're usually riding around the backstage on their little motorized scooters laughing their asses off. They're so nice And then I think I thought saw one go by and i'm like was that a

[00:53:47] Because i'm the late show there the early show. I'm like was that a boys two amends? Um Speaking of education or something fun. That's the next story and i'm obsessed with the next one But anyway

[00:54:04] 218 mile rail system constructed by bright line will use bullet trains that carry 1200 passengers and reach up to two Speeds up to 200 miles an hour. It starts to set construction this year meaning services could be operational by 2026 Some speculate that the train will not run between until between between

[00:54:23] 2030 and 2020 in 2033 so it could be 10 years. I say that So what? Hopefully yeah, I'll probably be retired I'll call my friend bob and clark Make them go with me. Um They claim that a reduced carbon dioxide emissions by 400 000 tons as bullet trains are powered with by electricity

[00:54:45] Trains are expected to leave every 45 minutes from downtown l.a For a station located on the vegas strip They need a power grid before they can do this. You know what nobody likes paddles a buzzkill Okay Well, maybe they're gonna put well hold on let me see

[00:55:09] Maybe they're gonna put It might be they're gonna have free wi-fi on board so they clearly plan on having something You're gonna have a wide selection of food and beverages check luggage and hotel check-in services

[00:55:22] Um, it was supposed to be finished by 2020 and now engineers have lost hope for that Yeah Everybody else does well. I don't know how they're gonna get the um power Some republicans have referred to the bullet train as a the hot mess express

[00:55:40] California's have lost faith in this project and the legislature has lost faith as well. It's very frustrating 35 000 new jobs vegas should chip in for sure. We're delivering you People yeah, and you know when I when I lived in l.a

[00:55:57] I was never really there. I shouldn't even say it live my stuff was there for 20 years, but Everybody would argue should we drive to vegas or should we fly to vegas every single time I'd go I'll tell you what i'm gonna go on southwest

[00:56:09] And i'll race you to the front door of the mirage and whoever wins is buying food all weekend You'll never win people always go it's not much faster in the car. No Even with one accident Other people Yeah, the bullet trains are coming

[00:56:26] Speaking of what are we spending our money on? If you've seen my act lately, you know, i'm kind of obsessed with the governor of alabama kave I disagree with probably 99.9 things that come out of k's mouth, but I really want to go drinking with her and

[00:56:41] And I do have it on a source that she does drink Yeah, she looks like an old bourbon type like lady old grandma that's going to get into some

[00:56:49] She'd like she just pour whiskey in a glass. No ice and just hot whiskey, which is something I just can't Alabama governor kavey sends education dollars to build a water park The tweets on this and the comments are so funny They are 47th

[00:57:13] Some people say 49th in education because I do jokes about that in my act Not not that my state's that much better. Missouri was 37th We've got a ways to go as well But we're not like Almost last kavey

[00:57:30] From afar montgomery whitewater it's whitewater rafting now if i'm at alabama and Yes, I want whitewater rafting over another school But i'm not the education person you shouldn't be talking to me. I don't know what the children know or what they don't know

[00:57:47] We don't need no book wearing it No, my niece is a nurse's niece is enough. You seem fine They're fine um From afar the montgomery whitewater rafting park under construction near max

[00:58:01] Air force base montgomery. I know you got to go all the way to the bottom of all the way to the bottom of alabama And they have more snakes than miss arian tennessee do Like hot mouths. They have way more snakes

[00:58:15] Yeah, I'd be thinking about that whitewater rafting except that water's too crazy if I don't picture Whitewater rafting in the bottom of alabama like mobile is more like a it gets swampy in a my fun way but anyway

[00:58:32] From afar my gun we whitewater rafting park under construction near max well air force base might look like a tourist attraction But the county commission president ensures me that it's more than that

[00:58:42] It's an educational opportunity. See this person's thinking like I'm thinking we're gonna teach these kids how to blow up rafts You're gonna learn how to drive a bus from point a to point b and go

[00:58:52] How to count the people on your bus to make sure you have the same amount returning as you did going Uh, there's gonna be engineering opportunities out there for the students Okay, true opportunity students not only have jobs but create

[00:59:04] But learn about careers and have opportunities that would never get to see in the last couple days I've read almost every written word in the local press about the development, but it's the first I've heard of its educational offerings He's right and it will create jobs but

[00:59:20] You're four. How about we don't get into whitewater rafting till we make it to 40th as dumbest Let's climb seven spots. Let's set goals tiny goals

[00:59:33] And you know who's battling all this huntsville alabama, which is a home of nasa and has the actual smartest people in united states Maybe they want a raft. Some of them Yeah, I would go whitewater rafting here even with the snakes. I would do it

[00:59:48] Um, wait till you hear the end of this. It's so confusing It's not just going to be an amusement on part type of place So far the project centered around one long rafting ride and finance was more than 50 million of public money

[01:00:03] Has run by behind schedule and ran over budget If k k i v has her way Um, you will support this too This week ivy gave lawmakers her proposed budget for two million They have two billion surplus in educational funds in alabama

[01:00:21] This is why you're 47 than education. You don't know how to use your two billion dollars At least 331 million of that would go to projects and expenses unrelated to schools and teachers and classrooms Among those is the 25 million for the montgomery county commission for economic development

[01:00:38] Um, but wait it gets complicated, but here's where it gets really crazy Where k ivy isn't really saying What she wants to do with that 331 million Okay, she says um Uh, the the the guy said there might be other things too besides the water park

[01:00:57] But when I asked him what those would be he was short on specific k ivy's office won't come out and say it But they want alabama lawmakers to approve using education dollars to build a water park or Perhaps a hotel or a restaurant next to it

[01:01:10] But here's the thing you can't tell any of that from what ivy gave lawmakers this week You can't tell what a lot of other things are on ivy's wish list either and lawmakers are scratching their heads

[01:01:20] You probably have some of the same questions we do the alabama senate education budget chairman was equally stumped There are mirror made of items in there, which i'm not familiar or aware of i have no knowledge

[01:01:32] The governor's office had better come clean ivy could come clean from the start if she thinks funding a struggling white water park Is more important than education

[01:01:39] She should make that clear instead of sneaking it into her budget rather than shoot straight k ivy tried to take us for a ride Now she's going to get an educational opportunity instead Whoa You know what if you have two billion You have enough for both

[01:01:58] Let k have her whitewater rafting fantasy Maybe it'll be a tourist attraction and get some money into the state What in Montgomery? Well, the problem is Montgomery's pretty far so but I don't know maybe people from Mississippi will go they need to put a bucky's down there Yeah

[01:02:23] Well, I have the perfect answer for graceland too Because graceland the Elvis's home is on one side and then the museum and all that and then the old gift store is abandoned And there's a 4 000 square foot spot right there cracker barrel Right

[01:02:38] Because right now your choices are to eat at the hotel, which is fine, but you're gonna You might want to just go get you know a cracker braille breakfast Chicken and dumplings by the way cracker braille Risk your own life with this they're now serving sangria

[01:05:37] Jersey mics is great. I'm gonna do on that buying wednesday that dany david is telling me to do because I do believe they do that Today is buying wednesday. Oh, well then today I'm gonna go do that I'm definitely gonna go get my turkey and whatever

[01:05:50] Swiss at its peak in 2007 the quiz nose franchise had close to 5 000 location was doing two billion in revenue fast to forward today They have less than 200 stores and can't stop the bleeding That's crazy to go from 5 000 to 200 It was started in 1978. I didn't know that by jimmy lamb

[01:06:11] Buttocks and Todd disner They started a fine dining restaurant in denver called footers which later became the first quiz nose Quiz nose location. I thought quiz nose was a little too hard to say to for fast food How about quizzes? That's better Right

[01:06:30] Or zenos but quiz nose. I don't know you can't I don't know Well, it doesn't say yet. I don't know Yeah, uh People loved initially people love the idea of the toasting the sandwiches. That's what I liked

[01:06:51] It was really good doing so not only melted the cheese on the sandwiches But also enhanced the flavors when they began franchising they became the first business to toast at this scale This is why they call it the home of the toasted sub

[01:07:04] And then we don't need to go through the distributors and all that the beginning of the collapse Um Franchisees were mandated Via national promotions to offer low prices But they had to pay above market prices for their goods and paper goods. Well, there you go

[01:07:20] You can't ask people to buy one and then overcharge them for all the shit and then tell them they can't charge anymore for the sandwich You're gonna bust out your franchisee people to make matters work subway entered the toasted sub game in 2004

[01:07:32] Says panels which destroyed pretty much the only moat quiz nose had despite this it was still able to grow Eventually hitting five five thousand stores 2007 Um, oh my god the franchisee's people banded together and sued quiz nos

[01:07:48] For the markups of their food supplies and mandated retail prices admitted impossible to turn a profit They should do that The store closures formed With the great recession in 2008. They already struggling stores began to shutter 2000 and closed by 2012

[01:08:02] With the art of the above then the franchisee people got all upset Oh my god, where is quiz nose now? um In 2018 was purchased by a private equity firm High bluff capital partners at the time the franchise had opened about 300 locations for today

[01:08:19] They have fewer than 200. Well, now i'm gonna go look for one. I'm gonna eat there one last time Wow the last supper the last quiz no supper. I'll film it for instagram Yeah

[01:08:30] All right, i'm gonna do one more story and then the crypto queen because that's a little bit intense I was gonna say vralphy is my feel good story, but he's more of an update

[01:08:40] Yeah, yeah, I count i'm counting on the children out there to go find his account for me and let me know on instagram This is this is a fantastic american story Wow Two inmates escaped through a hole using tools made from a toothbrush and a metal object

[01:08:57] They were then arrested at iHOP To Why would you iHOP's not that good? iHOP's always fine You're like well unless you're a pancake person like if you're my nieces and nephews the iHOP to them is the bomb I'm not gonna eat pancakes too fattening, but I prefer

[01:09:19] Waffle house or cracker barrel. Yeah, I like iHOP But is it worth going back to prison for no? If I was drunk enough waffle house might be worth going back to prison for maybe Yeah And it's fast To virginia

[01:09:35] John m garza 37 and arly nemo 43 were re arrested early Tuesday After they broke free from the newport news jail annex the newport news Sheriff's office said They discovered garza and nemo were missing from their cell during a routine head countered about 7 15 p.m

[01:09:55] Monday they believed the two men found a constructive construction design weakness in the wall And created primitive made tools construction from a toothbrush and a metal object to escape the tools facilitated their access to

[01:10:07] Untied rebars between the walls one and gained gained access to the rebar the other used to make it um Further the escape once outside but still within the containment wall They proceeded to scale the wall and departed the area

[01:10:21] Tips from the police helped track them down to a 24 hour iHOP on mercury boulevard in hampton seven miles from the jail The police department were called to the restaurant around 3 30 a.m Well, that means they left at 7 30 At least maybe earlier

[01:10:40] They got away with it till 3 30 wonder where they had money for iHOP probably weren't gonna pay probably dine and dash Yeah They'd been in charge they'd been in custody on several charges including contempt of court probation Probation violations and a failure to appear in court

[01:10:58] numerous charges including credit card theft credit card larceny forgery possession of burglary tools grand larceny contempt of court and probation violation The charges related to their escape are pending a criminal and international internal investigation are also be conducted

[01:11:14] As the sheriff's office works to prevent an escape from happening again. I mean That's funny. I know you gotta eat And you don't have a car so it'd be weird to walk through a drive-through that would raise to my brows. I would think Aren't they wearing jumpsuits?

[01:11:29] I don't know if they're wearing jumpsuits. Maybe they Bopped into a good will if they they had cat they must had some cash they saved up Maybe they were dumb enough to be wearing jumpsuits. I don't think you can use their cafeteria credits

[01:11:45] I don't think you can use your prison credits. No, okay, so Which are minds now I've been listening to this podcast But I knew about all this before and then I found the podcast because I had a long drive in um, uh, wisconsin, um There's a lady

[01:12:04] Ruzia Ignatova and she's only on one of the only few women on the fbi's 10 most wanted list. I think she is the only woman at this point Hark she was a crypto queen She's been missing for quite sometimes since like 2018 Oh, she has a daughter I didn't understand

[01:12:26] What how she stole the crypto like there's different ways to steal it Like the canadian kid the one canadian guy The one that supposedly died in india. He just created a fake exchange

[01:12:40] So you thought you were buying bitcoin or ethereum or litecoin, but he had made all that up That's one way to go about it This lady Wow, when you listen to this She basically said I am going to create this thing called one coin

[01:12:58] And I want all of you to know it's going to be the next bitcoin Now at the time It's not available for purchase in the general public on any exchange like if you go to Uh, if you go to coinbase or any crypto exchange

[01:13:13] You see all the coins that are available for purchase Herds never appeared there one coin It was very cult like And it was like you're getting in on a secret that nobody else knows and you if you invest in one coin right now

[01:13:27] When it does go public, you're gonna be bananas rich Crazy rich And then once they got you in you were only able to buy Like a little bit more at a time they'd make it seem like it was very elusive

[01:13:41] And there's only going to be this opportunity at midnight Well people fell for it And it's sad because like there's a scottish lady In the one episode of the one podcast and she She talked to friends and family into doing it. But

[01:13:56] Here's the thing. It was never a real coin. It was completely made up. It had no blockchain That's why the smart people started going well, it doesn't have a blockchain which basically is a ledger

[01:14:05] I know this sounds weird if you don't know anything about all this but just trust me It's like saying I have a ledger jody put in 20 dollars Um, uh, mickey took out 50 susan took this that's the ledger the blockchain. There's no ledger

[01:14:19] So nobody knows there's no blockchain. So nobody knows how much money ruse has been receiving How much is ruse spending how much did um, you know Mary from scotland put in it's a mess. Uh, so I don't

[01:14:38] I'll read the first couple pages if you want to hang out for this Um, she's a german citizen born in bogaria. She's 42 years old her father was an engineer and her mother was a teacher

[01:14:50] Yeah, she's she's got a young kid. That's why I kept googling and googling and going down rabbit holes. Where is the daughter? She has one kid Well, there's an addition to this

[01:15:01] We think we may have found her which is astonishing because I thought she was dead for sure Because there's a shit ton of people that want to kill her Yeah um In june 2016 when cryptocurrency was emerging an emerging buzzword and investors were scrambling to cash in

[01:15:19] Ignat over called herself the crypto queen and touted her company one coin is lucrative rival to bitcoin in the growing cryptocurrency market In two years nobody will speak about bitcoin anymore. She said his investors imploded and whistled

[01:15:32] I'm not even sure these events were real the more you listen to this podcast. I'm like we could all fake an event You can have a picture of me Well, not me because i'm on stage for real but somebody a picture of you on stage somewhere

[01:15:46] And there's you know 200 thousand people in some ballroom in vegas the whole thing could be photoshopped Right and we could put video to it. I'm not even sure these things ever happened, but They don't have enough people 16 16 months later

[01:16:02] From 2016 when she was having these big giant hooped yaws She boarded a plane in sofia bulgaria and vanished She hasn't been seen since So in 2018 she's been missing then some

[01:16:16] Authorities say one coin was a pyramid scam defrauded and defrauded people out of more more than four billion as ignitovic convinced us Investors in the u.s. Around the globe to throw fistfuls of cash at her company federal prosecutors describe one

[01:16:28] One coin is one of the largest international fraud schemes ever perpetrated She's now one of the 10 most fugitives on the fbi list alongside with gang leaders and murder and is the only woman currently on the list

[01:16:40] Of wow of the 529 fugitives on the fbi's list since it launched in 1950. She's just one of 11 women Yeah, bad bad bad girls bad girls Ignit over her partners con unsuspecting victims out of billions of dollars claiming that one coin would be the bitcoin killer

[01:17:00] In fact one coins were entirely worthless Their lives were designed with one goal to get everyday people all over the world to part with their hard-earned money

[01:17:10] Since she disappeared. Oh, she disappeared in october of 2017 her face has been plastered on the fbi website and across major news outlets worldwide She's also one of the most wanted fugitives in europe at the bottom of her fbi wanted poster is a note

[01:17:22] Ignitova is believed to travel with armed guards and or associates She may have had plastic surgeries or other surgery or otherwise altered her appearance Okay How are you gonna do that if she did that facial recognition? Is that gonna be correct anymore?

[01:17:37] Let's say i went and got a crazy nose job eyes Yeah, but she probably never submitted herself to a retinal scan. I have because I have clear at all international airports I know it doesn't really work that good Um

[01:18:00] We know all that from a young age she wanted to be rich you can go read about her life. You don't I won't bore you with all that um Things came crashing down

[01:18:12] The facade started cracking in 2016 when investors had a hard time selling their one coins to regroup their envision So if you wanted to sell your one coin, let's say I put 10 grand in because that's Scottish lady did And then I decided I want to sell five

[01:18:27] There's no one to sell it to except back to one coin So they can resell them Because they don't exist on any exchanges. So you can't sell them to other people

[01:18:37] They were trying to get their money back word spread across online that the business was a scam media startless It's already asking questions And is this is this soon? No, it's the same thing with every pyramid as soon as people want their shit back then

[01:18:48] It's like oh, um, it's not clear what she was married. It's not clear what happened to her marriage Um After she bugged an apartment belonging to her marriage or whatever. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no She boarded the commercial flight

[01:19:06] She disappeared leaving her business partners to take the fall one of them being her brother. I believe our brother-in-law The fbi said she may have traveled to german on a german passport from athens pop

[01:19:17] Pops possibly to the uae the arab emirates germany russia eastern europe or even back to bulgaria Okay, well, dude Look, can we work on narrowing that down? If somebody walked into me and i'm the boss lady at the fbi goes smoke Kathleen

[01:19:30] Here's the thing. She's probably about here. Okay. Good. We get out of here come back and give me two Her partners have already been caught and uh her brother was arrested in 2019 at los angeles international airport

[01:19:47] He traveled to the uaes on business as a prayer to board his return fight to bulgaria When five large men in suits handcuffed him and took him to an interrogation room I never see stuff like that at airports. I wish I would though Yeah, like cool stuff

[01:20:01] Web sewing one coin is shut down. His website is no longer active um More than five years later after the quip crypto queen got off a plane in greece Her whereabouts remain a mystery now Um because I do the work of the lord

[01:20:17] I've googled all kinds of stuff and a lot of people think she's either on A boat in the Mediterranean Just happy shmappy sailing around or that's some drug dealer from bulgaria killed her because he had all kinds of one coin Yeah That I find possible, but

[01:20:38] He was never gonna get back anyway. She spent it But guess what? In within this episode we have an update I thought for sure she was dead This is why I shouldn't be on a jury

[01:20:56] Because the first situation I presented with I go well there you go. We're done and then I'm like, oh wait Maybe she's not dead Maybe she isn't in the Mediterranean floating around on a fancy fancy yacht because you can do that

[01:21:07] But port to port to port here's the problem with that people get tired of living on yachts And they get off those yachts eventually. Yes. Nobody can be on a boat forever Missing crypto queen ruzia ignitova Found alive after vanishing five years ago Yeah, but here's the thing
