[00:00:00] Hey everybody, it's me Kathleen Madigan, welcome to Madigan's Pubcast. You grab yourself a drink, pull up a bar stool, and let's talk about what's been going on. Alright! Episode 136 of FIRE! And so many things. First of all, it's raining outside right now.
[00:00:36] This is a Sunday, and I am back from where I've been, and there's a Tay-Tay concert downtown in Nashville here, and I'm very worried about the children. I'm very jealous. Well, don't be jealous tonight because there's going to be lightning, and then what? Then what?
[00:00:51] Some of these people drove from Wisconsin. Queen Tay-Tay, well we'll get to all that, but she has actually... She's always going to have to be back here because she's too tall. I wonder if she's felt like that her whole life. Stevie, you can come Dolly. You shorty...
[00:01:05] The shouties, shouties in the front, in the front. She has rerouted Nashville traffic patterns. The five o'clock news, I would say. Yeah, a little more on that. At least 15 minutes out of that was devoted to Tay-Tay. Yeah. It's caused...
[00:01:24] She has wreaked havoc in the greatest way possible because the news anchors are just kind of like, well I don't know y'all, but seems kind of crazy downtown y'all. Oopers are a lot more expensive than normal. Yes we know!
[00:01:38] But I feel so bad because on the news there are interview people, they come from everywhere, Wisconsin, Kentucky, blah, blah, blah. And I don't think you can... I was here in Nashville when the Garth Brooks thing went down and Lightning and my friends
[00:01:52] were down there and they were in a tornado deal and he wouldn't cancel it. And then if you leave did you mess up your own ticket? I don't know. We're going to talk a little bit more about Tay-Tay though. Because she...
[00:02:06] Okay, I try not to get political on this show but I really, really do not like Marsha Blackburn. And... Really? Well we'll get to that. Yeah, she... Yeah. Anyway, where was I coming from? What are we drinking? Drinking Duvall beer?
[00:02:24] Duvall County is in Jacksonville, Florida basically and I'm at a young comic who's doing very well. Her name is Jay Paul. If you want to go online and find Jay Paul, she's... She's young and starting out, she brought me some Duvall beer and then she brought me
[00:02:41] Crown Royal, okay? And... Nice! Jokingly I said you're the only Jaguars fan I've ever met in my life because I just don't know any. And her whole... All of her social media, she's a very big Jaguars fan and I personally cannot
[00:02:55] stand Trevor Lahren, Lawrence because I can't stand his hair. The rest of the Jaguars are fine. I just don't want my quarter back spending that much time getting highlights, okay? How about you study the playbook? But it's just... I don't like it.
[00:03:10] He just flicks it around and like grow up, get a haircut. Now I totally sound like my grandpa. Get a haircut. But she found this Crown Royal that came into Jacksonville thing but somebody in the store swapped it out and it was Kansas City.
[00:03:26] That was meant to be as a chief's person. Speaking of which, by the way, I still have the devil's sweatshirt on for Kate Madigan, assistant general manager of the New Jersey Devils and they have beaten the Carolina Hurricanes. Well, it's almost... It's 7 to 2. It's ongoing I think.
[00:03:39] It's 8 to 4. Oh! It's 8 to 4! Whoa! Why didn't I bet the over? Jesus! That's not a hockey score. The Cardinals haven't scored that many runs all year. That's why Fred Bird is hiding in shame. I can't even talk about it. I am so angry as a Cardinal fan.
[00:03:57] Somebody's got to do something immediately. It's ridiculous. And then it's not just somebody said, I'll get more organized in a few minutes, but as a Cardinal fan, it's not just about that we're starting out shitty.
[00:04:10] This has been going on for 10 years and I went to one of the World Series Games in 2011 when we played the Boston Red Sox. It was 49 degrees outside, way too cold to drink beer, my hands were frozen, so that's a buzz kill and we didn't get one hit.
[00:04:23] We lost two to nothing. It was just depressing and shitty. Like, OK, if you lose six to five, it was exciting for a while. Two nothing. We didn't get a hit. I mean, there's something very wrong. They just don't spend the money anymore.
[00:04:38] We need August Bush, the old man to come back from the dead. Probably not happening. Here comes a king. Yeah, yeah, I mean, he was just a wonderful human being. Wonderful little German. So many things.
[00:04:54] This lady came up to the merch table and left this hat for me. I don't know her name in Charleston and it says Masters 2023. These aren't cheap. They're totally awesome. And she said she had lost her brother and her husband in the same year,
[00:05:10] but she found the podcast and she just wanted to thank me. It was a wonderful thank you. I love this hat. Yeah, my sister will totally try to steal it. I'm going to have to hide that properly. I don't trust her seeing that.
[00:05:21] She'll see that pink writing and that'll be the end of that. Lots of beer came back. Rocket Man beer, Ard Wolf Brewing Company. I got that. The Rocket Man was delicious. Me and Aaron, the opening act. Opening act these past shows was Aaron Weber, if you're interested.
[00:05:39] Yeah, yeah. His wife, Lucy is also a friend of mine and she got to go to Tay-Tay on Saturday night. Nice. Yeah. It's like everyone is going. This is for Monica Roscoe, Mary Ann and Jim. I got your stuff. Thank you guys.
[00:05:55] And then my friend Allison who's a golf everything down there in Jacksonville. Well, Ponte Vierdera or Vierdera. I don't say it right. Vierdera. Vierdera. Vierdera. Make it a salsa. Make it a salsa. Allison brought me a super soft Callaway golf balls. Those are not cheap.
[00:06:14] I'm very appreciative of that. Then Angel and Wade, they made very nice little notebooks. One for you too, Paddles. A little notebook. You can keep all your little secret thoughts in there and everything you want. You don't want to be a goldfish.
[00:06:27] Brought me some goldfish and then I got golf gloves for a Ponte Vierdera from Caroline and Connie. You never can have enough golf gloves. That's what I say. And look at what I'm drinking out of too by the way. In Charleston. Oh yeah. Yeah, I don't know this.
[00:06:44] This lady gave a card but I don't know what I did with it. Oh, it's in my butt. It says because of the Murdoch trial, the South Carolina people have jumped on the, don't trust just so to know, back with Southern Law. Uh-huh.
[00:07:01] Because a judge in the town got bloodstained on his hands. Nice. Yeah, I liked Vicki Lawrence's version but I also liked Rebus' version. Rebus is great. It's really good. Karen and Jeff brought, they brought coffee porter. Delicious. Yes, Erin and I tried it.
[00:07:22] Then we're almost really going to plow through this stuff you guys. Oh my night and night term, I had pajamas. This lady made me pajamas. Uh, Sonya, I took them out. Erin the opener was like, do people always do this? I'm like, kind of. Yes, Erin.
[00:07:37] And I'm sorry you missed the possum from last week. Just when you think, he said he wouldn't have touched it. I'm like, okay this thing, Sarah made this a faithful term. This is, well she didn't. The artist is Patricia McGarvey. It is a perfect painting of baby cat.
[00:07:52] What's her aunt? Oh it's her aunt? Yeah, her aunt made it. Oh, I didn't realize it was her aunt. From Illinois. Look at this, that is a perfect rendition of baby cat. It's perfect. She looks very luxurious. That's the way baby cat always looks. Yeah, yeah.
[00:08:07] So that was awesome. Our beer from the Holy City Brewing Company. I have to go there next time. I'm in Charleston because I didn't have time, no time in Charleston this time and the shows were great. They were all sold out.
[00:08:21] Everybody was great but I was so sad I didn't have any time in Charleston because I love it there. It was already getting crowded though. I just, I can't roll on normal days like Saturdays are just out of control.
[00:08:33] Speaking of which, I'm tasting this Charleston super hot whiskey sauce that was brought by Maria and Carol. And I haven't had a chance to, we're going to get to some crazy updates. Oh wow. Nice. I don't think there's anything in Charleston I don't like. It's wonderful.
[00:08:55] There's so many tours like historical things. It's just they have an old prison, cemeteries, you can do a lot of civil war stuff. Shrimp. I'm going to report something or if you want. Oh no this is, okay this is from Amanda and Vaughn, the Southern lawyer mug.
[00:09:13] And speaking of the Southern lawyer mug my friend Mandy Manny came to the show with her husband David. They have a dog named Luna you should follow on Twitter or Instagram. She is responsible for the Murdoff podcast that I started listening to probably three
[00:09:27] years ago if not more and she put it in all, I've talked about her a million times but anyway it's always fun to see another Kansas City person. Missouri person. Well she's Kansas City, Kansas I'll excuse it. I'll excuse it.
[00:09:42] Deborah and Joanne brought a couple cool t-shirts, a big foot thing don't stop believing. So everybody that said stuff I got it all. It was super great. The food is so good. I got gumbo from this place and ponte verdeur.
[00:10:00] If you ever get a chance people, if you like to golf and you can get a tea time it's expensive but it's a one-off. To play the TPC Sawgrass I didn't get to play this time I have played it though. I didn't have enough time.
[00:10:12] Very sad to be trapped in a golf resort and it can't play. I couldn't play clubs and stuff it was too hard. But that Marriott there is fantastic. I love it. I love it. Yep they have a great little sports bar down there in the bottom.
[00:10:29] Right now I'm going to taste Cheetos Minis. What? They'll get it. They come in the Pringles can. That's pretty cool. I've already had like 12. Really? They're so addictive. It's insane. They're tiny Cheetos though. Cheeto balls. Mini balls. Mini Cheeto balls. Nice.
[00:10:49] Mom, unless you do not have an addictive personality if you think you can sit with this and not eat the whole thing and then vomit, orange vomit. I put in with you because I can't. And then I got these in Charleston but they're called Low Country.
[00:11:06] That's what they call South Carolina when you get down into Charleston and stuff. It's called Low Country. Speaking of golf too my shout out to Rick and his wife and their friends who came to the show. He works out at one of the courses at Kiowa.
[00:11:22] He's a retired guy and that's his side gig. He's super sweet. Low Country Kettle Spicy Pimento Cheese Potato Chips. Nice. They're good. Dump it in the sauce. I don't taste Pimento Cheese or I don't know, they're good. I just don't taste Pimento Cheese.
[00:11:54] But that would be more of a Southern person to tell me that like a Low Country person to tell me that's I don't know maybe you can taste it. It was great to see Rick. It was great to see everybody. I met a very young termite.
[00:12:09] She came with her mom and I said, I'm sorry I'm not Taylor Swift. She's like no I would have rather seen you. I don't even know how old she was. Her name was Lillian and I was like that's a throwback name.
[00:12:21] The only person I can remember named Lillian was Jimmy Carter's mother, Miss Lillian. I love the name but you just don't hear it anymore. Yeah, it's like a throwback. No, she was very young. I don't know, 19. Fuck yeah, it's very young. My God, she can't.
[00:12:40] No, no, there's no nine year olds coming to my show. No, nor probably should they. Just because I cost too much sometimes, sometimes, not a lot of times, sometimes. She was so smart. A beautiful kid.
[00:12:56] I don't think she has any idea to just just a kid and her mom was with her. And I got him backstage, so that was funny to meet the youngsters. And that's about what happened. So let's move it on. Let's talk about Marsha Blackburn and Tay Tay.
[00:13:19] And in that sense, if you don't like politics, I'm sorry if you were in love with Marsha Blackburn, but I don't think she's very pro lady. Well, I don't know. There's people that might be listening to podcasts about Republican. That's fine.
[00:13:33] I have tons of Republican friends, but Marsha is a little right of right of right. She's not the Marjorie Taylor Green Q and on group. She used to be an image consultant in Nashville. She majored in home act. I didn't know you could.
[00:13:50] I mean, I know I should make fun because she's older, much older. But that was her major in college. Anyway, there's these old pictures of Marsha Blackburn. It goes, everyone needs a boost in their image, not just celebrities. What the fuck were people hiring her for?
[00:14:10] Oh my God. But anyway, she always votes in line with the with the super, super right. Not just regular right, which many of my friends are. Anyway, she voted against the domestic violence against women act. So Taylor Swift on this thing, this would go around.
[00:14:31] She's sitting with her mom and her dad's crossing them and she's telling her dad that she's going to come out against Marjorie Blackburn publicly. And now her dad has a great point because I think about it too. Why would you purposely go alienate 50% of your fan base? Right.
[00:14:49] Why would you do that? And she goes because she voted against the domestic violence dad. And do you know what that includes? Stalking. She's pointing at herself. Stalking, stalking. Even I'm late to the Taylor game, but I am very up to speed that her
[00:15:09] stalkers make it into that New York apartment building all the time. I mean, I would not pay my HOA's dues. No, I'd be like, you know what, look guys, here's the thing. Whatever I owe for my condo fees, not happening.
[00:15:23] Because the only reason I picked this building was for safety and there's some freak. He makes it to her apartment. Right through up an elevator. Anyway, so she dedicated one of her songs that is so pleasantly dismissive. She didn't say Marcia's name, but it's all over TikTok.
[00:15:43] She says the Tennessee politician who I think you all know, I do not get along with. You need to calm down. Yeah, it's you need to calm down. It's so dismissive. Look at you on the internet 7am. All right. Moving on to more Queen news. That's it.
[00:16:03] I don't know what's going to happen with Tay Tay. I hope for the children's sake. The rain. I hope the lightning doesn't come. That's all I can say about that. Okay. Cher has broken up with her 37 year old boyfriend. No. Yeah, and they were engagement rumors. Yep.
[00:16:24] Alexander Edwards. She's 76. The rapper's 37. They've been going out for a long time. She was she even said she wish she could show her late mother Georgia Holt the ring her boyfriend gave her. I don't trust all that. I mean, yeah, I think they were never actually engaged.
[00:16:49] So it says they just played into the speculation. Of course you're good. The reps did not return a request for comments. She has not addressed it. They were only together for a few short months. They were romantically late in November 2022.
[00:17:02] And they received holding hands on a date in LA. They got a lot of backlash for their 40 year age different, but Cher staunchly defending it tweeted. Haven't you got anything else to do? Let me explain. I don't give a flying fuck what anyone thinks. Okay.
[00:17:19] Then she later gushed that much about her new boyfriend kisses. They kiss like teenagers. You know, here's the thing. There's a million dudes doing it. It's not from I wouldn't do it. Because I just I don't know what I would speak to someone to this 40 year.
[00:17:39] No, even sometimes with my nieces, I was I said something about Charles Manson and they were like, who's Charles not done? I'm like, okay, I don't I can't. I don't have time for this. No, I don't have time to go through all that.
[00:17:53] I'm gonna put those over there. I think that's it. Tanya's out on the road. Stevie better get back on the road in May. That's all I can say. I hope she is fine. I hope she is well. Dolly nothing. Tanya's doing her thing.
[00:18:07] New album coming out June update. This is sad, though. Well, it was meant to not be sad, but it turned out sad. Yeah. So remember Fria the walrus that was causing all the problems. And then they used an iser, which I thought was bullshit.
[00:18:30] Why don't you just put her on a boat and take her somewhere and be nice? Take her further north. Norway's capital Oslo unveiled the statue of a walrus who was popular attraction, but then put down how to public safety concerns.
[00:18:41] The life-sized brown stature depicts Fria lying on her side on a shore. But it looks like she's dead. The statue is not happy. No, no, no, they should have had her standing up like she did on the back of boats.
[00:18:54] When she's got her paddles out and she's yeah. I mean, I some dude, this is how humans treat wild nature. But it's also how humans treat humans. This is how we treated Fria. And so I will call for the statue for our sin.
[00:19:10] I will call it the statue for our sins. This person raised $25,000 to build this thing. Yeah, he's very, very, very mad, Eric. I've started this because I'm furious about the way the Norwegian fisheries handled the situation. I agree. It was bullshit. You've got a million boats going north.
[00:19:31] Get her on one. You don't just kill her. All she was doing was having fun. She didn't bother anybody. If anything, people bother her. Well, she did sink a few boats. She's pretty fat. To which I would have said to the people in the harbor,
[00:19:46] you're going to need a bigger boat because Fria is out there. She weighed 1,300 pounds. She was put down last August, triggering criticism across the Nordic nation. The mammal rose to fame after clamoring onto boats to sunbathe, sometimes thinking them.
[00:20:01] The local authorities said that people had ignored warnings not to get too close, putting her and themselves at risk. And not putting that her at risk. No. Say I walk up to a, what is it? 1,300 pound walrus. She'll win if she wants to. Yeah.
[00:20:20] It's just that the statue's not very happy. Yeah. They do not attack humans, but there have been rare incidents. Well, that's not enough to kill her. No. Had a wildlife park in China in 2016. A tourist and a zookeeper were killed by a walrus.
[00:20:41] The tourist had reportedly been taking selfies with the creatures when he was grabbed and pulled underwater. While the keeper went in to rescue him, he was also, he drowned him like your older brother would at a pool. He just went, ah, guess what?
[00:20:56] Not the mood for a selfie. No, thanks. Not interested. Update! Update, update, update, update. It's a Buckeys update. Great! Yes. The world's largest Buckeys is going to open where? Right here in Tennessee. Not right here in Nashville. It's going to be in Severeville. Dolly's home. Dolly's home.
[00:21:18] Buckeys, the roadside change with very loyal following, plans to open the world's largest Buckeys in Severeville, Tennessee according to tourism officials. And then somebody on Twitter told me, well, they donate a lot of money to right wing causes. You know what? That wouldn't be my choice.
[00:21:32] What to do with money? But I'm still going to Buckeys. Yeah. I can't. Yeah. Well, yeah. I mean, I need something more specific if I'm gonna say, like I don't like to go into, I almost said, oh, I don't mean that.
[00:21:47] I mean, what's the one with all the picture frames and the wrapping paper? Hobby lobby. Well, I like to paint stuff and they have good paint stuff and they really do have great Christmas wrapping paper. They have a best selection ever.
[00:22:00] But after I read all the things they were, how they were treating their employees, I'm like, okay, I can't. Yeah. I can go to Aaron Brothers and get my, I don't need to even though I totally missed the wrapping paper. Every Christmas season I'm like, damn it.
[00:22:15] Anyway, I don't know. Mattress, Matt, you know, people do what they're going to do, but I love Buckeys. It's going to be phenomenal. 120 gas pumps, EV charging stations, more than a 200 foot long car wash and about 74,000 square feet of Buckeys goodness. The brisket, the pulled pork.
[00:22:33] Oh my God, if you've never had the pulled pork make it. It's good. It's a lifestyle. But Buckeys, I will do that for free for you. I'll make commercials for free. I'll do it in a Buckeys outfit. No one don't even have to know it's me.
[00:22:47] I mean, I'm too, I do have them jealous, but I'm too short, I think to be the Buckey Buckey. Like that when I met the mascot Buckey, whoever was in that costume was way taller than me. But I would do it. I'll show up at this.
[00:23:01] It's supposed to be opening in June. I have a lot of time off in June. Anyway, people are very excited about it. It's going to, it's suspected to bring even more visitors to the Severeville area. It's about two and a half hours from Greenville.
[00:23:15] It is the hometown of country music star Dolly Parton. If you're a Dolly fan and you've never been to Severeville, what are you waiting for? There's so much to do that's Dolly related. You can go see the bronze statue of Dolly, which has been there since 1987.
[00:23:28] They've also got a wonderful mural on the side of Pines downtown. And the pines for the people who don't was the original theater where Dolly started, got her first paying gig at age of 10. There's also, I mean you can go to Dollywood,
[00:23:41] you can go, there's tons of things to do. And then if you just keep going up the hill, which is what I like to do, you will be in where? Gatlinburg. Holy shit. Oh, you know what? I did have an update too.
[00:23:58] I didn't print this out because I haven't had time because I just got home and I gotta leave again. But the New York Times, I'm not the biggest fan of the New York Times because sometimes I've seen the pieces they do on comedians.
[00:24:10] Well, they'll do a day in the life and it's bullshit. It is fucking bullshit. And then I think you know what? So let's say I read, if I read in the New York Times about an opera singer person, is this as bullshitty as the comedian one?
[00:24:24] Because I won't mention names, but they followed a female comedian around New York and every single thing was so... It was just bullshit. So I don't necessarily trust them all the time. But they did a giant piece on Elizabeth Holmes. She is still not in prison.
[00:24:46] I thought that the court, according to what I read on this podcast and everything I've read, I thought that the court had to make a decision by like May such and such and that date has long since passed. So I don't know what the holdup is,
[00:24:57] but there... whatever the report... I haven't read the whole thing. I read some of it, but whoever the reporter is, is enamored with her. Like you don't see like one guy, she treated people so poorly a man killed himself, that guy in the movie.
[00:25:11] Like what the... it's wrong with you. I don't... anyway, that's the update. She's still not in the popo. She has not gone to the pokey, I mean. I know well she's waiting on this judge, but I don't understand why they're not snip snappy here. Okay, let's go. Lizzie.
[00:25:31] This is crazy. Ancient underwater temple found off coast of Naples. How crazy is that? The Nabatian temple was dedicated to the god Desharo and is believed to date back to a time when Nabatian people lived in this peninsula. Wow. Yeah, Naples, not Naples, Florida.
[00:25:57] Case people were thinking what am I talking about? No. No. Archaeologists from two universities in Naples, Italy found the remains of an ancient temple submerged in the western Mediterranean. For 2,000 years this thing has been submerged. Yeah, who says all droughts are bad? They're not all bad.
[00:26:15] Sometimes we find great stuff. Yeah. It has Roman marble altars. It suggests the temple was built during a time when the Nabatians, whoever they are, were living under the Roman Empire's control. The discovery represents evidence of the Nabatian presence in the era revealing the richness
[00:26:33] and vastness of commercial, cultural, and religious exchanges in the Mediterranean based in the ancient world. According to historians, during the imperial era of Rome, the Nabatian kingdom established a base of operations at the Italian ghost making it an attractive location for all of the trading people.
[00:26:50] Yeah, who are these people? The Nabatians? Well, they appeared on the historical stage with an advanced culture during the 4th and 2nd centuries BCE. Prior to this, they lived in desert regions of Arabia and southern Lebanon for centuries.
[00:27:09] They were a nomadic group in a harsh and arid environment. But you should see the pictures. We'll put it in the notes. It's crazy that they just found this and it's been there for 2000 years. Wow. Yeah, so there you go. That's a good holy shit they found.
[00:27:24] I forgot to talk about what I always forget. What are we watching before I go on to news? So I'm a total nerd when it comes to any documentaries. I'm all in Amazon Prime. By the way, go watch my special. Rate it. Oh, boom.
[00:27:40] We're still in the top 10. Yay. Yay. Yay. Hit the like button or whatever you do. I don't know what you do. Yeah, I don't know what you do on that. Star it. Give it stars. Give my special stars. You rate it somehow. They care about that.
[00:27:53] The children care. Yeah, I would just assume it's fine. You know, people like it or you don't. I can't help anything after it's done. There you go. Whatever. Anyway, on Amazon Prime, they have a whole section of PBS documentaries and everything from
[00:28:11] I watched one called Klansman about the KKK. I watched a couple World War II ones and then I watched this one called American Commune. I am fascinated with cults and communes. They are not the same. I understand that. Lewis's generation, my BFF Lewis, Lewis is 74. His generation.
[00:28:39] I said, how bad were things at your guys' house that you were like, I'm totally joining the men's and family. Well, this group, this show, if you're into anything like that, if you're not fast forward two minutes, that's all I've been on it.
[00:28:55] But these hippies out in Berkeley, California, true hippies in the 60s, there were 300 of them and they had buses. And they decided that they were going to go create the perfect world. But they had to go find the land and they combined all their money.
[00:29:13] One girl that went, this is where I was like, like, Dejot didn't go into it enough. I need to know more. Her father was the chief medical surgeon at Cedar, Sy and I in Beverly Hills, a very well educated Jewish family.
[00:29:26] And then this one hippie child comes in and says, I'm getting on a bus going where the vibes are right. Oh my God, my dad's ever been violent one day in his life. But I think that that would be,
[00:29:40] that's why we never saw the violence because all you got to do is think about what might happen. I don't know. But I think he would have thrown me into a wall. Here's the other thing. If I'm going to go follow somebody around the earth,
[00:29:55] they can't have a regular name. I can't just go with Steve. No. Hey, I'm going to give up all my worldly possessions, give you all of my stuff, my first communion money, my confirmation money for Steve. And that's the guy's name, Steve.
[00:30:12] And they said, how are you going to know when you find your promised land? And he, this is where I would have went. Okay, I'm not getting on the bus because he goes, it's all about the vibrations. Yeah, we're going to feel the vibes.
[00:30:27] Oh my God, I'm not getting on that bus. No. They don't even have phones or Google maps or real maps. But anyway, they did form a commune that lasted longer than any other commune. It's not religious. They were not religious like, and he wasn't sleeping
[00:30:44] with everybody's wives and having sex with children. And he wasn't doing any of that. They were true, true hippie socialist, I'd say maybe communist. Really? Well, as far as spread the wealth around, even Stephen. I'm calling this cult. Socialistic cult.
[00:31:07] But I think those cults always fail to recognize man is naturally greedy. And eventually all the do-gooders are going to get out weighed by the takers and then the takers are going to take to them and that's what happened. And it's in Tennessee.
[00:31:22] It's like if Memphis is on your left and National's on your right, halfway in the middle south. Boom. It's still there. He's still there. It's a crazy show. I also watched The Coronation. Well, as a person of Irish descent, I don't. I am not a monarchist.
[00:31:46] If it wasn't for the one mean king of England, I don't even remember which one. I wouldn't even be in the United States of America because of the rules he implemented in Kill Kenney Island. I don't need to go into all this, but I don't have a
[00:31:58] favorable outlook on the monarchy. But I do like to watch it like a Disney production. Like I feel like they're Disney characters and they are trapped in these roles. My thing would be instead of being hairy and whining and bitching about it, make the best of it.
[00:32:18] There's a lot lot shittier ways to be born into the universe with nothing. You know, maybe you don't like going to ribbon cuttings. Well, eat an edible and then go. It'll be way different. Have you tried edibles, Harry? Before you bail on your entire country, your family,
[00:32:37] your friends, your job. How about an edible? I think you acted a little rashly there and then, you know, but I did watch it. It was something to see because I've been to London and I've been to the Tower of London
[00:32:52] and that's where they keep the crown jewels and you pay extra for a ticket to see it. And me and my cousin Mary paid extra to go see it. And we did all of it. Westminster Abbey, it's fascinating if you like history.
[00:33:04] And when I see it, I think it can keep going because I think William is enough to keep it going. You think so? Yeah. Maybe not in the exact same capacity but then there's the big argument. They bring in tourism dollars.
[00:33:16] I go right, I understand that but like I went to Paris and I went to Versailles. Well, Louis XIV or XVI, whichever one that was. Yeah. All like the only thing I remember from that tour was they said he only took two baths in his life. What?
[00:33:32] Yep, two and he lived till like 75. And I think my dad's feet are gross. Imagine that guy's feet. Anyway, I mean they haven't had royalty in France in forever but that doesn't make me not want to see the Palace of Versailles.
[00:33:48] So let's say they took the monarchy away. You all got to go get jobs. I don't know what jobs they would do but yeah, like have you thought about dentistry? Yeah, I don't know what they would do but if they took it away people were like,
[00:34:04] yeah but people would still come and want to see Buckingham Palace. People would still get on the bus like me and my cousin did. We had no money. We're 18 years old backpacking around wherever we could fly to. Yes, I'm going to pay 20 bucks to get on the bus
[00:34:20] and go to Windsor Castle. You don't get to see them anyway. It's not like oh well we have Prince Charles and Camilla and you get to meet them. A living, breathing monarchy. All right, we're moving on to news people. We're moving on to news.
[00:34:43] I have to decide which one this is. This is crazy. I would not do this. I think it's terrible. You should be mad about Elizabeth Holmes. Everybody should be mad. Talk about white goddamn privilege. I mean money, money, money. Her parents are rich.
[00:35:03] This is all lawyers, good lawyers, well expensive lawyers. I shouldn't say they're good so far she ain't in prison. She's trying to, I'll read the whole thing next week. I'll just pick out the good part. It's very, very long.
[00:35:18] I thought I can't read all this and then be ready for that today but. Then you're not going to attend that podcast? Oh no. All right. Well, will you turn the equipment on and leave me by myself? I'll have baby cats sit there. Baby cat, I'll do it.
[00:35:38] So this SD investments is an investment firm run by Stephen Deckoff. That's, yeah, the founder of a private equity company. He purchased the Jeffrey Epstein Islands for $60 million. Wow. Mm-hmm. Yeah, the islands were originally listed at $125 million in 2021 before the price was lowered to $110 million in 2022.
[00:36:06] Epstein bought Little Saint James Island for 7.9 and then he bought in 1988 and Great Saint James for 20 million in 2016. Little Saint James houses five structures and was reportedly the location of Epstein's main residence. The larger Great St. Great St. James Island is less developed.
[00:36:23] According to the report, Deckoff has been living in the Virgin Islands since 2011. 11, he's a billionaire, this guy that bought it and contributed to the region's economic development, including providing support after consecutive hurricanes in 2017. He lives in a waterfront estate purchased for 12 million located in St. John's Peter Bay.
[00:36:42] He also owns properties in Beverly Hills in New York. He plans to turn the islands into resort destinations according to a press release. No, I can't. Would you go? That's creepy. I can't go there if those girls were like stolen and they're being abused and raped, whatever,
[00:37:02] all that creepy shit that happened. He's going to develop a state-of-the-art five-star world-class luxury 25-room resort that will help boaster tourism create jobs and spur economic development in the region while respecting and preserving the important environment of the islands.
[00:37:17] He has a history, they say, of turning distressed situations into successful enterprises. Yeah, I, no, I wouldn't have bought it and I wouldn't go. And that's not like saying, oh, I'm morally superior. I just think it's creepy as shit. You know, it's going to be haunted.
[00:37:36] You know your room weird things are going to happen. Bad things will happen. Bad things. Bad things. All right, this one, this made me laugh so hard. I don't know why I'm kind of obsessed with Warren Buffett. I'm just pretty cool.
[00:37:50] It's not because he's, well, the rich part is what makes you notice him. I think he's, he's, and I have a nephew who's autistic, so I'm not saying this in a negative way. I definitely think he's a spectrum guy.
[00:38:03] Well, I'm going to tell you what this guy drinks in East every day and he's 92. Yes. And I've been to the house in Omaha. His house is in a regular flip and subdivision on a corner. You can pull right up to it. It's amazing.
[00:38:18] Like I, I'm sure he has other houses, but he doesn't really leave Omaha that much. I mean, he has his jet. He goes for meetings, but he's so like spectrum II. He likes his routine and his stuff. The house looks like it could use a facelift quite frankly.
[00:38:34] Yeah. There's how their houses that are cuter around it. So that's a lot. It's a very fancy neighborhood where he's at, but not fancy out of reach. Like normal people could live there. Like, yeah, you could buy a house there. I will buy a house there.
[00:38:52] I love them all. Warren Buffett may be a billionaire businessman in his 90s, but he eats like a child. The investor in Berkshire Hathaway CEO. He loves McDonald's, Coca-Cola and Dairy Queen. I'm totally with him on Dairy Queen. I don't go there often because I would eat.
[00:39:09] It's like having this thing full of Cheetos. I mean, what do I do? I just want to race to 400 pounds. Um, yeah, but he doesn't ever get fat. He has a chee- He counts hamburgers, hot dogs and ice cream among his favorite foods.
[00:39:27] I could ditch the ice cream, but I'll take the hamburgers and hot dogs. He munches on McDonald's for breakfast. He has five cans of Coke every day. What? Five. My dad used to have like eight.
[00:39:40] My dad used to smoke, drink like eight full Cokes and smoke two packs of Kents. Sometimes three. And then if he smoked more cigs, he had to have more Cokes. Full Cokes. And he never got fat. Like I don't, it's weird.
[00:39:57] Here's are his best quotes on his diet. This is what made me laugh. I've gotten to age 92 with the habits of a six-year-old. So far it's working. Charlie's 99 and he doesn't eat any better than I do.
[00:40:08] I found everything I like to eat by the time I was six. That's what my dad says about his haircut. Because I found this picture of my dad when he was like six and he's standing, and though he's probably younger, five.
[00:40:25] And he has the cutest little hat on. There's one he has a hat, one he doesn't have a hat. And he's standing next to a Budweiser bottle, like an old bottle of beer. And it came up to like his waist.
[00:40:35] So he was probably, but I go, oh my God, you have the exact same haircut. And my dad goes, well, when you find a good one, you stick with it. Right. Don't you ever want to change? No, he didn't.
[00:40:47] Anyway, why should I fool around with all these other foods? If somebody told me I would live an extra year if I ate nothing but broccoli and a few other things in my life, I would say take that year off the end of my life
[00:40:58] and let me eat what I want to eat. Then these are just different quotes. Number two, I think happiness makes an enormous amount of difference in terms of long jubby and I'm happier when I'm drinking coke or eating hot fudge sundaes or hot dogs. Okay.
[00:41:13] Number three, I have one quarter Coca-Cola. If I eat 2,700 calories a day, a quarter of that is Coke. I drink at least five 12 ounce servings. I do it every day. I have three Cokes during the day and two at night.
[00:41:30] Four, I check the actuary tables and the lowest death rate is among six year olds. So I decided to eat like a six year old. Smart. Oh my God, listen to this. This is when you know he's old.
[00:41:45] Broccoli, asparagus and Brussels sprouts look to me like Chinese food crawling around a plate. Okay, Bob, there was no reason to do that. Cauliflower makes me sick. I eat carrots reluctantly. I don't like sweet potatoes. I don't either warn, I'm with you. Disgusting.
[00:42:03] I could probably be starving to death if somebody gave me a yam. I'd be like, I'll just kill myself with the rock. Give me a rock and I'll bash my own head in. My idea of a vegetable is green beans, I agree. Corn. Yeah. Carn. Carn. And peas.
[00:42:20] Peas are all carbs. You gotta do it. You gotta do carn. Carn. Carn. Carn. Carn. I like spaghetti and grilled cheese sandwiches. Me too. I'll eat meatloaf but I wouldn't order it in a restaurant. Me neither because you don't know how they're gonna make the meatloaf.
[00:42:34] It could have weird shit in it. You have to have your mom's meatloaf or if you made it. Well. God, I totally agree with him. When I compare drinking Coca-Cola to something that somebody would sell me at Whole Foods,
[00:42:49] I don't see smiles on the faces of people at Whole Foods. No. Everybody at Dairy Queen smiley. He is not hot. He goes, I like eating the same thing over and over and over again.
[00:43:02] I could eat a ham sandwich every day for 50 days in a row for breakfast. I could too. That's crazy. I could. I wouldn't tire of it. Ham sandwich? I can eat anything I can eat every day. He doesn't like Chinese food at all. He's very attentive.
[00:43:16] It just made me laugh. Like that, this guy's 92. And they've been told, they told us when I turned like 40 or some bullshit that dark sodas, any dark soda meaning whether it's root beer or Coke or Diet Coke, it didn't mean limeade or whatever. Candidate, goose, dry.
[00:43:41] I love ginger ale. And that's a light soda. So if it doesn't have the coloration of the darkness, supposedly those ones with the coloration are horrible for you and are going to kill everybody. And I think Warren just proved that is not necessarily the case for everyone.
[00:43:59] You like your sodas? You keep drinking them. Remember this podcast is not licensed. We're sanctions. I am not a doctor. How would you like to own a mummy? You know why? Here's the thing. When you see a picture of this thing, I really don't want your mummy.
[00:44:22] If somebody said, would you like to own a mummy? No, pretty much. I think I don't want to. But then when I saw the photo of it, I really don't want to. It's terrifying looking. A rare 2800 year old mummified Egyptian head
[00:44:36] brought back to the UK by a British soldier during the First World War has gone on sale. The artifact which is stuffed away in a cupboard for decades is not everyone's cup of tea, has had an eye-watering price tag of 20,000 pounds.
[00:44:50] So I don't know how many dollars that is, but that's about the same. It's been carbon dated to 800 BC or 750 BC. The head remained in the unnamed soldier's family for a century. He put it under a glass dome to preserve it.
[00:45:07] But some visitors did not like looking at it. The skull ended up being tucked away in a cupboard. Can you imagine when you're like, hey can anybody find the butter serving thing for Thanksgiving? You open up your cupboard and you're like, whoa, whoa, whoa!
[00:45:23] It's now being sold by one of the soldier's descendants who's chosen to remain anonymous. It just looks like a bad skull. I don't... I would you pay 20,000 dollars? I'm gonna update you, termites. I'm gonna find out if somebody didn't... Somebody will.
[00:45:38] But once again, should this be in a museum? I don't know. Do we have other mummies that are fine? Yeah. God, I... No, I don't even want it in the house. I think it's bad luck. I don't like it. It's somebody's head! This...
[00:46:01] This piece of news, this makes me nothing but laugh because I only think of Louis Anderson now. Olive Garden owner Darden Restaurants. So that's who owns the Olive Garden. They're buying Ruth's Chris steakhouse for $715 million.
[00:46:24] I love the Olive Garden bread and I do like the unending salad or whatever they call it. But their pasta... Yeah. No. I can't... That's a yeah, no. I'm with the termites on that one. Yeah. Ruth's... I don't like the name Ruth's Chris. I've never understood it.
[00:46:44] It's too hard to pronounce. I guess she bought Chris steakhouse. But for my 50th birthday, I had my comedian friends that I liked the best. I was in Vegas anyway working and you just all went to Ruth's Chris at Harrah's. At Louis Anderson. Louis Anderson.
[00:47:03] No matter who came over to the table, Louis would go, I am Ruth. Nobody understood it. But they weren't offended or not. They... It was just a double question but it made me laugh so hard. I don't want them...
[00:47:20] Ruth's will join Darden's fine dining portfolio which already includes the Capitol Grill. Well I do love that. And Eddie V's. I super love that because they have Dover Soul and nobody has that on a menu. Outside of Ireland is extremely hard to find in the United States.
[00:47:37] But I don't know if they change the way the steaks are cooked then I won't go anymore. It's the butter. It's the butter. The deal values Ruth at 2150 per share and all cash transaction. Is that really...
[00:47:52] I'm gonna have to look at Darden restaurants and see what their stock costs. Maybe I'll invest but I don't like... I don't know. Doesn't sound like... I don't know. The Olive Garden... No. But that's Italian, I don't trust it if my mom doesn't.
[00:48:12] Or I'll make it but not... Yeah. There... It's basic. Let's put it that way. Basic. Moving on to the business section. What what? Snoop Dogg is part of a group that might buy the Ottawa Senate? Yeah. That's hockey for the people who won't keep up with that.
[00:48:32] Snoop has entered the bidding. The famous rapper confirmed on Instagram that he had joined the bidding group led by Los Angeles based entrepreneur Nico Sparks in hope of becoming a part owner of the Canadian NHL franchise. He's passionately involved, he's coming up with ideas, he's legitimately excited,
[00:48:49] he wants this team. I don't picture Snoop and hockey. But great. I mean that would be so fantastic if he was your owner. He's awesome. Yeah. Yeah, he's 51 years old. He's particularly interested in marketing hockey to families from diverse backgrounds
[00:49:08] in the Ottawa area and beyond who haven't necessarily been targeted by the sport in the past. It's hard to target people for hockey because it's expensive in the States. In Canada everybody's out on ponds, everybody figures it out. Somebody who gets skates from somebody but...
[00:49:21] You never get it. No my one cousin played. He was just weird. Nobody else ever played hockey and he was good. But I mean ice time and all that shit, the skates, everything's expensive. Compared to say soccer. Lift as in Uber and lift.
[00:49:43] Lift tells the CEO, tells employee they must return to the office. I would say well are you gonna pay for an Uber? Nope. Are you gonna make me lift myself in my lift? And who, I mean who's going to work there? Aren't you all out on the road?
[00:50:04] The new CEO David, I'll never forget Detroit either one time a much older woman picked me up in an Uber but her car said Uber slash lift like both stickers. And I said have you driven for both and she said oh yeah over the years yeah
[00:50:24] I go which one do you think is better? She goes well I'd say lift is a little more rapey. What? Yeah I don't know don't sue me lift I'm just saying what a driver said. Rape E. Who was raped? I don't know who was raped.
[00:50:45] I didn't ask any more questions I just said okay thank you for your information. Wow. I mean because I don't usually go on lift with lift I usually go with Uber but I don't know they might be nice. He wants their workers to return to the office.
[00:51:01] He said it's the first steps in a plan for a flexible model with more regular in-office work. Personnel connections matters and lift is about bringing people together. Lift did not comment on the specifics of the plan but the New York Times reported that he
[00:51:14] informed employees they'd be required to return to the office at least three times a week. Mondays Wednesdays and Thursdays beginning after Labor Day that's not so bad. No in an interview he suggested remote work had isolated employees from each other there's a real
[00:51:29] feeling of satisfaction that comes from working together at a white board on a problem no grandpa nobody under a certain age gives a flying shit about going it's like one what's her face of
[00:51:42] Yahoo that lady who ran for office in California she wanted to be the president uh Meg Whitman she said I mean you have to go into the office because water cooler ideas are what
[00:51:54] what grows the companies lady you're so out of touch you don't want people are talking about the water cooler they're fantasy football league what their kids did that weekend they're not
[00:52:03] talking about work ideas mom maybe you are that's why no one wants to talk to you Meg that's why because you're like oh shit here comes that serious lady with work ideas uh lift last year decided to sublease portions of its corporate offices in San Francisco New York
[00:52:24] Nashville and Seattle hmm they're trying to streamline the company as it struggles to turn a profit I don't think they're as well known as uber I don't know what the deal is um
[00:52:37] but he's telling everybody get back to work I don't see lift I don't know I'd have to do a lot more research but I don't see him making it long term unless they do something very different
[00:52:47] San Francisco what is going on out there no idea Nordstrom is the latest retailer to leave San Francisco I know it's Portland and San Francisco they have so many problems the Nordstrom is
[00:53:01] downtown and in it's I've gone there a million times and it was so nice then they had great sale racks and it just I was a happy very bright place um it's closing both of its stores in downtown
[00:53:16] Sanford this is part of your none of your business section closing both stores in downtown San Francisco citing the changing dynamics of the area that hasn't recovered since the pandemic and has been a spot
[00:53:26] in the spotlight for crime it was always kind of daint I felt at night night like after midnight well there's areas around there that tended to be I don't know like I would have walked to a bar
[00:53:40] but I don't know if I'd have walked home um the two locations are a 312,000 square foot five floor Nordstrom department store at the Westfield mall and a rack it's discount on located across the
[00:53:54] street on mark across the street on market street I mean now who's going to take that building right and then it just keeps folding and it just it starts trickling down into bad bad bad bad
[00:54:06] they will close the summer with an upscale chain department explaining in a memo to employees that it's letting the stores lease expire well I don't want to own that building who do you think
[00:54:16] you're going to trick in here maybe bed bath and beyond decisions are never easy a growing number of retailers of business are leaving due to unsafe conditions for customers yeah people
[00:54:29] don't want to go to that area anymore um yeah they also closed a few weeks ago a whole foods location closed it was just open a year ago it's temporarily closing for work worker safety
[00:54:44] guys we got to get these downtowns back in fighting shape Minneapolis come on now get it together these are places that were fun we can do it feel it um okay I've got a couple more and then I'm going to do my feel good story great yeah this
[00:55:05] do you have 18 million dollars no would you like to buy the friars club no I don't need me either I know I didn't want to go when I had to go so old people eat like
[00:55:19] it wasn't that the people old like Phyllis Dilley was in there I was very excited me but it's like the furniture and the food it's all nothing has changed in probably 60 years at least the I when
[00:55:33] I went I don't know well there's one in LA and there's one in New York we had to go during last comic standing for some shit I don't remember legendary show business haunt the fires club
[00:55:44] is up for sale amid debt crisis yep the 125 year old private members club which is counted Frank Sinatra Joan Rivers and Jimmy Fallon among its members alongside an endless parade of show business stars and operas has had its home in a stunning 55th street mansion since 1957
[00:56:04] but the club has suffered from an aging membership and dwindling dues and we're told that the COVID-19 crisis forced it to borrow 13 million to stay afloat wow we're told that Kate keep it up the monthly payments and the loan the lender's coming
[00:56:18] after the club and the lender is coming after the club for cash uh oh uh oh yeah so the board decided to sell the building in an attempt to keep the club up and running we're told there's
[00:56:30] a likely buyer who's prepared to cough up 18 million to buy the building and lease it back to the club who's gonna do that lawyer arthur somebody who's running the fire sells that there's
[00:56:42] several offers some from buyers who simply want to act as a landlord and collect rent from the club and others who want to hand it you gotta revamp it yes whoever's gonna do it you gotta
[00:56:53] I don't know the whole the whole thing um it's a well-known individual he said they'd be happy to entertain offers from companies behind fashionable private clubs such as soho house or casa cabrini we're not looking to throw a tradition out the window but at the same
[00:57:08] time it has to appeal to everyone not just a certain age group exactly exactly it's just it feels like like an old folks home yeah yeah it needs a lot of work you know and there's been I don't care
[00:57:26] about cigar smoke I don't care about smoke I don't care about it I mean a lot of people do what I understand why that would be what I would expect but it's not just that kind of stuff
[00:57:35] it's like the furniture I don't know I uh yeah it's not it's not it's not my thing um all right this guy wait okay this is for the children and I love it I love it I do I totally love that

[01:00:55] field code story termites okay because I forgot to tell this story um when I did the rhyming a few weeks ago for the zany's 40th birthday um I had there were a million agents and managers
[01:01:15] because it's a comedy festival too and all these people backstage that were taking up a shit ton of room so I went up because I've worked the rhyming and I know my way around I went
[01:01:23] up to the second floor and there's a million dressing rooms and nobody cares if you go up there so I put all my stuff up there and uh that was lightning I just saw lightning out
[01:01:32] the window I feel so sorry for the tata children it what's the update did they cancel it oh they didn't cancel it they're sheltering in place like the guard thing oh my god I wish I knew one person
