Episode 140: Taylor Swift Amnesia, Bed Bath & Pickleball, & The Meaning of Life In Five Words

[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. Charmites! The pub is open! Episode 140! That's um... one hundred and twenty-eight more than

[00:00:37] Harry and Meghan did. Yeah, for no money! This is for free, except people bring me nice little presents and mail me stuff. I got these St. Louis golf balls backstage in Vegas.

[00:00:52] Yeah, I can't wait to go smack on around. The wall, hold on a minute, tell you who sent that first. It looks like it says Andrea, but I'm not really sure. First time seeing me in person.

[00:01:04] Um, comedy helps her on a bad day. He, she, I think it says Andrea. I can't really... it's hard and didn't say on the outside because it came backstage. They were very excited to see me,

[00:01:15] she, he, whomever it was. And Vegas, the show was great. People were fired up. The mirage is still going strong. Um, and may or may not have secretly got to go to Adele on Friday.

[00:01:28] Right. Tarmite's listened to me. Now they were expensive. Certainly not as much as Queen Tate, Tate. Uh, they were expensive, but not like that. Not like that. Every person I know that has a

[00:01:46] normal job is selling other children to take one child to Taylor Swift. Like we're gonna have to sacrifice three of you so princess could go see our prince or whomever. Um, so Vegas was

[00:01:59] a blast. And I think, I think up, we going back in January and then another date and so on. Do what? Volcano's still erupting. Yeah. Um, gamble played my video poker. Fun. Yep. Didn't

[00:02:12] really win on that. Got my ass handed to me there and Harris, but I met some very nice termites at Harris. I was just sitting there playing video poker. I think I ordered a beer

[00:02:21] is up when the guy goes, I think he heard my voice and he was like, Oh my God, are you counting? I go, yep. You found me right here where I said I would be at a video poker bar

[00:02:31] Yeah. Um, somewhere in Las Vegas and it was very, uh, the, it was beautiful one day and then it went to Vegas hot. Like I can't go out there hot like I sat by the pool. Well, who's kidding?

[00:02:42] Who? I don't sit by the pool. I sit at the bar that's hidden in the jungle of the pool at the Mirage pool. They have a bar this way in the back and it feels like you're in Hawaii.

[00:02:51] It's got all these jungle plants and it's shady. That's all I needed. And then I can sit out there and have one beer. So that was a blast. What? And Adele was worth it.

[00:03:02] So if you could get last minute tickets say anywhere from the five, I know this is a lot, 500, but look at Tate Taser like a thousand. It's all gone crazy. I don't know where

[00:03:12] all the money's coming from. I don't have any idea, but um, if you can get tickets, Adele's show is worth it. I mean, maybe Tate Topsis Adele's inside though at a 4500 cedar. So it's a little different and it's at the Coliseum and uh, Caesars. Um,

[00:03:32] just for the record too, I went down to the Tropicana because I want to take a video of the ceiling before they wreck it. Rich Little has a show five nights a week at the Tropicana. Rich little, I Googled it. He's 84. Yeah. His last impression was Nixon.

[00:03:49] That's the last guy he did. He nailed it too. He really nailed it. I mean, it's just unbelievable, but um, the TV screens, the LED screens at the Adele thing, I've never seen screens that big in my

[00:03:59] life. Maybe Tate Taser will be bigger because she's outside and some giant, you know, stadium deal, but I have, it was, it was worth. I don't think she should have canceled that first time.

[00:04:11] I think that was mean cause people were already in flight. You can't do that to people and Adele of all people. We don't need you to dance and shit. Your voice is so good. You

[00:04:20] could just stand there and sing. She should have done that. I think that was a mistake. I don't think it was nice to the fans, but I am a whore and got over that and went to her show

[00:04:28] anyway. It's just random. My phone said tickets available. I was going to go see Carrot Top just as my friend, but I always go see his show too because it's always funny

[00:04:42] and he always has new stuff. And uh, I was like, I was just about to text him. Scott, his real name is Scott. Scott, I'm coming down there blah, blah, blah, save me a seat.

[00:04:51] And then I'm like, nope, I just sold him down the river for Adele. Too bad, Scotty. I'll see you some other time. Yep. I know your phone number. I know. I don't know Adele's.

[00:05:00] I know how to get ahold of you if I want to come see you. Maybe I'll come to your little alligator lake in Florida, Scotty. You see he's got a T-shirt gun?

[00:05:10] Oh, Adele has a T-shirt gun and I'm going to get one. I just don't want to spend the money. They're expensive. The good ones are like five grand. I'm serious. I went on Amazon. I could get a weak one, but it won't reach upper balconies.

[00:05:27] Yeah. I'm going to hit somebody super hard in row three. Bam. No, I want one. They look so much fun. That's all I would end up doing though because I have an addictive personality and

[00:05:37] then that'd be like, so what if I shot the gun for 55 minutes? They liked it. That's the last thing I need, but I am going to look into it. There's got to be one cheaper than

[00:05:48] $5,000. Well, you're trying to get one that's like a stadium. No, hers, I need mine to go 2,500 seats. Hers was 4,500 seats. So my gun should be $2,500. Half of the price of hers.

[00:06:02] That's how I view that. It should be half as powerful because it only at the very most St. Louis is 3000, some of the places in Chicago theater, 3000 seats maybe. Yeah. Yeah. No, we don't need it. I am. I'll figure out where to get the money.

[00:06:23] My friend Brotson came with his friend Gibby and we had a couple day drinks. It was super fun. We went, I actually drank a Bud Light added drag show and so far nothing weird has happened to me.

[00:06:35] So far I'm okay. We went to senior frogs. They have the best drag brunch in Vegas. Yeah. It's 11 o'clock in the morning and you pay your ticket price. That just comes. There's a well

[00:06:46] in your table of ice with champagne and orange juice. Make your own mimosas. And then if you want shit for the bar, you paid like not much. Like there's an extra added fee

[00:06:55] for 20 bucks or something and then you can have anything you want. Like if you want beer or real drinks or whatever. Yeah. Well, there's food back there too. I don't know. I wasn't

[00:07:04] hungry or whatever, but yeah. It's so fun. It's like an hour and 15 minutes. It's a waker up there though. That'll wake your ass up at 11 o'clock because those everybody there is fired

[00:07:16] up. A lot of bachelorette parties. A lot of wee. At 11 a.m. I'm like, oh, maybe I should have went to the one. This one's a little early for me, but it was super fun. So there's

[00:07:28] a little Vegas tip for you. Where senior frogs? You would not think that where senior folks tried your island. So if you're looking for something fun to do in the daytime. Go see the pirates.

[00:07:37] Yeah. What is that? It's actually called it's not Rupals is over at Harris. This one just says drag brunch. I don't think it has it. It is a Rupal one. Well Rupal one there. I

[00:07:46] know that so don't expect Rupal to be there. I'm googling it. It's the Queens of Drag Race. The Queens of Drag Race. Rupal's Drag Race. Okay. Well, I know in some conservative circles

[00:07:58] people may think that something bad will happen to you if you do that. Nope. Totally fine. One other travel note. If you're going to Vegas, I left Sunday morning on the 6 a.m. flight.

[00:08:14] It's disgusting. I know, but I had to get back to go again. And I have all the fast passes. I have clear. I have TSA precheck anything you can do to make it faster. I've already signed up.

[00:08:25] I would say half the people in the airport were not going to make their flight. I have never seen such a mess. And then in my brain, I just get angry at Pete Buttigieg because you're the secretary

[00:08:36] of transportation and how come nobody is in here going what the hell is going on here? Who's in charge? You're going to get fined if you don't figure this shit out. I mean, I went with

[00:08:46] plenty of time. I always do. I'm not to my parents level where I ride five hours early, but I am there at least an hour 45 before my flight always. And I barely made it to the plane.

[00:09:00] Yeah. And I had precheck and the zoom passed through everything. I'm just saying if you're leaving Vegas, I thought, well, the 6 a.m. flight, the six o'clock flights won't be that full and then people get drunk and forget to go to the airport. No, there were

[00:09:16] million people. It was chaos. I just don't then if you don't make your flight, there's no room on the other flights because there's no inventory. Right? I'd be I don't understand why Pete's not

[00:09:27] yelling at the airlines. You guys got your PPP money. What? What? Where are the flights? Then I was got stuck in Atlanta because of thunderstorms and then all those flights were sold out to get to Nashville. So if my flight didn't go, my friend Dax is stuck in

[00:09:43] Orlando or Philly now because there's storms everywhere. They told him, sorry, your flights canceled the next ones tomorrow at four. What? That's not an acceptable answer. Remember in the old days they'd say, well, there's no more flights on airlines. But here we're going to put

[00:09:57] you on and then they would offer that you got to fight for that now. It's just become I may go back to the bus. I did that when I was a young comic.

[00:10:06] How much is a comedian Ron and he loves it in the East Coast. He said it's a dollar. Not a tour bus. No, the real bus. The Wi-Fi is free. You're not really talking. You'll be such a bad boy. Well, and I can't go on trains. Pete doesn't

[00:10:22] have a handle on those either. They're crashing and shit's falling it off bridges into rivers and contaminating things. I don't know. America, America, as George Bush would say, America, let's get our shit together. I'm drinking a Topo Chico because Dax and his wife

[00:10:43] loved hanging lemon line. So on their behalf, I'm having they do love all who's kidding who they like them all. I like them all except black cherry. I can't stand it. And don't I don't want those

[00:10:55] ones that taste like weeds. Like here's watermelon. It's like grass. There's a couple of them that taste like grass. Ruby grapefruit. Love it. Tastes like grapefruit. Lime. Fine. Tastes like lime. It's when they start to get off the path and then it's just mango. No, no, that tastes

[00:11:17] like rotten fruit. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. All right, moving on. Here I'm going to try these. Old El Paso Fiesta Twist with a ranch flavor. Zesty ranch. Seems like there's a lot. I've never been a twist person.

[00:11:38] They're too puffy. No, these don't taste like ranch. No, I'm sorry El Paso. I know you were established in 1938 as a brand and I like some of your stuff and I like the little cactuses on

[00:11:54] the thing but I'm going to vote these are a miss. These are a fire and a miss. Now, the Mirage has a California pizza kitchen in it and I love California pizza kitchen.

[00:12:06] I'm not a barbecue dressing person but they have barbecued ranch dressing. I didn't know that when I was there. I wouldn't have gotten it anyway. I like the house dressing but let's see. No. Oh

[00:12:21] my god. No, no, no, too sweet. Too sweet. What is that? Holy shit. It's supposed to have 7,000 calories in it. Oh my god. Damn. Oh no, my mistake and it's one of my favorite foods. Sodium. 310 milligrams

[00:12:41] of sodium. Fat grams nine. It's probably like a teaspoon. No, it's two teaspoons. Gross. Table spoons. I don't know. How many milliliters? I don't know milliliters. It's 30. It says it right there. Yeah. A few other things

[00:13:00] from termites. This lady sent me a Beagle sticker just for no reason. Yeah, Vicky. Spells it like Vicky Carr. If you don't know who that is, look her up. I follow her on Instagram. She's still

[00:13:12] alive in case you were wondering. You don't have to say you love me. Just be close in hand. Yeah, it's very weird. I opened for her once. It was the craziest thing I've ever seen.

[00:13:23] I did. I opened for Vicky Carr in Atlantic City. My mom and dad flew in because it was my mom's favorite singer and this total like Jersey something out of good fellas. This guy started heckling her

[00:13:39] and he goes sing something in English because she's only saying one song in Spanish and she is Mexican. I mean, she has the right to do that but she was in the middle of the other song.

[00:13:49] I love you baby and if it's quite all right and then he started yelling and she goes throw him out. I love you baby. She didn't stop walking. She didn't look at him. She just said throw

[00:14:01] him out and I mean I'm like 26 years old. I've never seen anything like any of this and all of a sudden these giant Vegas or Atlantic City East Coast bouncer guys came literally hoisted him up

[00:14:13] like he was in a throne and just threw him into the casino. Wow. Yeah, so thank you Vicky for my Beagle sticker. I like it a lot. Yes, I was invited to Morgan and Joshua's wedding.

[00:14:28] Well, it's kind of cool because I like any reason to go to Kansas City for barbecue. Yeah, I don't know what the place is. They've mentioned it but I can't attend but I will send a gift. Yeah, why not? I think it's funny they have invited me.

[00:14:45] They've listed every single podcast. Yeah, I don't know. I got an address though. September 2nd. I probably have a show. It's probably on a weekend. Nobody ever accommodates my wishes. Can we have can we have all weddings on Mondays? I would love to be there really also

[00:15:06] baptisms. If you could do everything on Mondays then comedians could come. Otherwise we can't come. This is a Bigfoot fan last thing and then we're going to get to some Queen news that's unbelievable. This is a Bigfoot shirt. This is from Sandy and Dave in Pagosa Springs, Colorado.

[00:15:28] So it's Bigfoot with a fish. I don't know why it makes me laugh. Yeah, it's a shark. No, it's not a shark. It's just a fish like a trout. He lives up north. He lives up north. We all know that. No, we don't. Oklahoma has got sightings.

[00:15:47] Yeah, it's Oklahoma does have sightings. They have their own. Missouri has our own too. It's called Momo, Missouri monster. Yeah, it's not really a Bigfoot. It's more like an ape. I don't know. It's a combo. It's not as defined as the one up in the Northwest.

[00:16:01] Google it. Momo, Missouri monster. No, I didn't. No, I didn't. Well, maybe Missouri did. All right, moving on. Queen news. I don't know why this makes me laugh. God, I feel so sorry for every

[00:16:19] parent that's trying to somehow find money. My friend Dory though told her kid I am paying for that in Philly and the girl went down and all the girls were outside and they had a blast.

[00:16:30] They never even got to go in. Yeah, but in Nashville, they all went to the pedestrian bridge here and you can see inside the stadium so they could see the yeah and they still like being down there

[00:16:40] I guess or so the kids said they had fun. Yeah. Okay, these are Taylor Swift fans and they're reporting that they have amnesia following her show. So you've paid hundreds of dollars for a ticket and brave the pouring rain to watch your favorite

[00:17:01] artists perform in what should be an unforgettable evening but three hours and over 40 songs later you get home and realize you can't remember a thing. Now I can say that about a few concerts

[00:17:11] but I know exactly what to blame. And it was called overstimulation and a thousand beers or maybe I went and got a jug of wine. I'm a sick of beer. Even at the adult thing, I say can I have

[00:17:24] a glass of Pinot Noir? Eight or 16 ounces. I'm like wow 16 in a plastic cup. It sounds almost unbelievable but many Taylor Swift fans are claiming to have post-concert amnesia. Psychologists say emotions and time may be behind the phenomenon. This is a lot

[00:17:45] of kids are saying this but also 40 songs. 40 songs. Yeah. I can't. From out-of-body experiences to entering a dreamlike state, Swift fans are Swifties as they prefer to be known have taken to social media in recent days to reveal their guilt at not being able to remember key moments

[00:18:05] from the eras tour. I think that's a hard name to say eras. I still would name it I'm your economy. I am an economy. Let me change your economy for a weekend. Amnesia can be quite a serious system. Symptoms referring to the loss of memories, experiences and information.

[00:18:24] But Dr. Michelle Phillips, a senior lecturer in the music psychology from the Royal Northern College of Music says the idea of post-concert amnesia is not as scary as it sounds. It

[00:18:34] will really be the case that fans have no memory at all of being at the concert. In fact it's likely to be one of the things they remember for attending for the rest of their lives.

[00:18:43] However, it's simply that they encode some aspects of the event and memory and not others. Well I can tell you even from being at Adele there's too many things from my memory. You got to take pictures of all that shit in your brain. Your screen shooting everything with

[00:18:57] your eyeballs. Adele half the time I'm looking at these giant ass screens then I'm looking at her heart. That's why I don't like big screens. But I also am not in front of these amount

[00:19:05] of people. You have to have them. But if they want to do it in a 1200-seat room, no. You keep the focus where it's supposed to be. Right there on that five foot tall thing down

[00:19:15] there talking me. We don't need all that. In a big room yes. Or if seats are kind of sideways that's not fair. But anyway, 40 songs you won't... Yeah there's gonna be all kinds of

[00:19:27] shit I would think you wouldn't remember. The old saying time flies when you're having fun is an easy way to think about the post concert amnesia. According to Dr. Phillips, with fans are excited

[00:19:35] and so immersed in a moment they can feel as though time has suddenly passed and they haven't been able to properly process everything they've just seen hurt and felt. I also felt like that during every

[00:19:44] math class I ever attended. Because all I would do is think about other shit and then I'd be like are they done talking? Are they all done talking? Are we out of here? That's yeah. I will not

[00:19:54] remember a thing that was said in this place. Nope. Gone are the days when musicians perform on an empty stage with just their microphones and instrument. These days the fans are treated to mind blowing spectacles, strobe lights, massive props, more costume changes you can track of.

[00:20:08] So it's no surprise you're not going to remember everything you've experienced after having a process so much. She says most concerts she goes to have an element of surprise all the time as well as an intensive light movement and fireworks which she thinks kind

[00:20:24] of cause memory loss. Fireworks. Adele's stage on purpose catches on fire and the piano catches on fire and all I can think of is Michael Jackson in the Petsuit Concert and burnt half his head off

[00:20:41] and I just I don't like pyrotechnics and I love fire more than anything buddy. Outside burn piles. Love it. But inside I don't I just think something could go wrong too easily. Anyway this one girl said she could tell her friends she could remember one or two moments

[00:21:02] from the concert but she can't recollect the whole set because it's just hazy. Some people have more memories than others. Some are worried about having forgotten bits of the show listening to the set. Again just might make all those memories come flooding back.

[00:21:19] Well there you go go back to your house and see if you can play Tei Tei's all of her songs and see if you can remember the whole night. I know there's even when I haven't drank or anything

[00:21:29] there's all kinds of shit in concerts I don't remember. I think we should try to go. To go to Tei Tei? I think we should try to find a place to go. All right well I may I may already

[00:21:39] have a plan for that. What? I may. I feel like I'm a waste of a ticket though. Not if you're going with me. Am I involved in the plan? What if I was going with my friends Bob and Clark?

[00:21:54] What? What if I got you a ticket too? What if I got you a ticket not me a ticket? I'm a waste of a ticket. Here's all I know. Me, me, I'm the problem is me.

[00:22:10] For the amount of Tei Tei that money these costs I could go to Stevie Nicks five times and I would be happier. Yep well. Did you want to do that? I won't can't tell you right now.

[00:22:21] Well I can't focus though. Well you're just not gonna be able to focus for a while. Dove shit. Update! Wow. Yep. Wait I forgot my oh it's in my news. We have a trader update.

[00:22:36] Who cares? I care! These people should not get away with this. This is my Irish grudge bullshit. You are not getting away with it. I will hunt you down. I will follow you down to the sound of my

[00:22:45] voice haunts you. Thank you Stevie Nicks. That's what I would do with these trader people. Christ. Donald Trump supporter who drove a stun gun into the neck of a DC police officer who was abducted by the mob during the January 6th attack after being he uh

[00:23:03] he he shouted Trump won. He was well guess what you got for that 12 and a half years in prison. Oh my god. Yep. Wow. His name's Daniel DJ Rodriguez a California man who traveled to DC with fellow

[00:23:16] Trump supporters who belonged to a telegram group called the Patriot. What is a telegram group? Do they not know how to get on the facial book? I'm sure it's not on the internet. Patriot's 45 mega gang. That's what they were called his group pleaded guilty in February to felony

[00:23:33] conspiracy is a obstruction of official proceeding tampering with documents or proceedings and inflicting bodily injury on officers using a deadly or dangerous weapon. Oh wow he wrote There Will Be Blood. He wrote on a telegram chat. What the hell is it? It's a chat room.

[00:23:49] It's a chat room. Telegram? Never heard of it. Um before he went and then he said welcome to the revolution. Well I hope it was worth it Daniel. Um then he wrote on there. Oh my god who writes

[00:24:09] this? This is how dumb these people are. He wrote this online. Oh my god I did so much fucking shit right now and got away. Taze the F out of the blue meaning a cop. They're not the smartest.

[00:24:24] No a lot of them were not the smartest that is for sure. You don't tape yourself video tape. You don't write crap online. Update! Well the I'm just got distracted by the wind. I think there's

[00:24:38] a tornado coming. Okay bed, bed, bath and beyond. Yay! Guess what a lot of them are gonna be? Bed, bath and beyond because we're gonna have the empty space. Well I was saying um a bar

[00:24:55] pickleball. The old people are dominating. Oh my god you can't even get a time at my parents' place in Florida for pickleball. People are outraged. There's not enough courts. They're gonna have a giant assessment to every condo owner. I want a new pickleball court!

[00:25:13] Well I want to learn how to play too. It's not just totally old people. My brother plays, he's younger than me. Pickleball is coming to your local mall replacing shuttered bed, bath and beyond, old navy and sacks off fifth stores. That's great because especially in the

[00:25:27] winter in the colder states um like my mom and dad are always looking for something to do inside that'll be great. Um it seems like it may seem like a strange strategy but the match offers

[00:25:39] benefits to both mall owners and pickleball players and it'll be full every day. Then you put out other things that old people might want to buy when they're done playing their pickleball. Maybe

[00:25:50] my mom would like to shop for a pickleball outfit right? Yeah this is a this is a great idea. It's America's fastest growing sport but you know I see it on tv when ESPN and ESPN2 have nothing

[00:26:04] else to I just don't see it going pro. I know they have proteins and people are investing but Tom Brady drew breeze but yeah I don't think anybody's gonna get into it enough.

[00:26:18] Um it began in 1965. I'm as old as a sport. The number of people playing pickleball grew by 159 percent over three years to 8.9 million. Yeah and you know what all these um like parks and country clubs and shit that have tennis courts everyone immediately want and it's not that

[00:26:40] hard to transform them. You just draw different lines. I think the net might be a little shorter. I don't know. Oh a lot of tennis players the tennis players are pissed. I know that at my mom and

[00:26:55] dad's place anyway and neighbors are bothered by the pop pop pop noise of the pickleball and have blocked the development of courts. Oh my god. I can't imagine well I can't imagine if

[00:27:06] it started at like 6 a.m. and I flew home on a Monday or Sunday and I want to sleep because my day off is Monday. Huh what and I hear it like ping pong harder noisier. So that's our bed

[00:27:22] bath and beyond see it's not all a bad story. It's not a sad ending Bob and Clark you listening to me out there why don't you two learn how to play some pickleball huh when you go to Palm Springs on

[00:27:32] weekends. I'm sure there's lots of pickleball leaves in Palm Springs. Holy shit they found it. This is a crazy story and don't think I didn't go down this rabbit hole and work my ass off and I

[00:27:47] still can't find the answer. This is where I get mad at modern journalism as a person who graduated from journalism school. I don't like it when the story is not really complete. It's

[00:27:59] lazy but here's what I got. That's what these podcasts are for but then half the time I can't find it and then I just give up. But what am I supposed to do go go to someone's home? I mean I did everything

[00:28:10] so the painter Ruben also could be called Rubens but Ruben in the Midwest he'd be Rubens like two sandwiches Rubens Ruben painting lost to history and misidentified for almost 300 years has re-emerged with the help of an x-ray analysis and could now fetch up to 7.7 million at auction

[00:28:33] next month. Flemish painter Peter Paul Ruben completed the name of the painting as Saint Sebastian tended by two angels and boy it is Saint Sebastian's got arrows all sticking through him.

[00:28:47] It's one of when we have the fat chubby angels the kind I like the cherub like angels. Yeah they're happy they always have curly hair they're flying around pulling arrows out of people. He painted this painting more than 400 years ago his brushstrokes depict the story of Roman

[00:29:04] soldier Sebastian pierced by soldiers arrows and left to die after he converted to Christianity before angels miraculously intervene. This is the craziness of it likely commissioned by an Italian nobleman and military commander Ambrigo Spinola the painting was believed

[00:29:20] to have been completed in 1606 through 1608 they're not sure or six in Italy or around 1609 and 10 in Antwerp once he had returned to his hometown this guy was a fighter the guy who commissioned it he was a devout Catholic and that's why you have the choice of the saint

[00:29:41] the Spinola family were patrons and friends of Ruben so that's how he got him to do it. The painting disappeared now remember we think it was in either Antwerp or Italy. The painting disappeared from recorded history in the 1730s as it passed out of the family and

[00:29:58] through the female line of dissent until it reappeared in Missouri in 1963. I googled everything you can google what town in Missouri was housing the Ruben painting like this is lazy because they just say Missouri like I would say it was found in Canada.

[00:30:22] Well where? I mean this is unbelievable. Who had it? It said it was a layer it was later acquired by the current owner at an auction in 2008 where it was misidentified wasn't even identified

[00:30:34] leave it up to my state to go I don't know if it looks like it could yeah it was misidentified as a painting by Laurent de la Hire a French artist yeah but now how do you not sue for

[00:30:45] this X-ray and analysis carried out neighbor revealed that the painting was the work of Ruben and more importantly the original version of the composition previously the title had been held by a painting in the Corsini family collection now hanging somewhere in Rome

[00:30:59] but they auctioned it off. I bet a bush had something to do with that. You think what? Oh one of because of the the bush family connections yeah well it was her Barbara Bush's family from Missouri the walkers oh you're talking about the Anheuser bushes

[00:31:22] he wasn't an art guy he built Anheuser bush built if you ever go to St. Louis you have to go it's called Grant's Farm he married a German girl named Trudy and he was already a multimillionaire

[00:31:36] at this point almost probably even more than that by today's standards and she really missed Germany and started to cry she wanted to go home and he said nay nay as John Pennett would say

[00:31:47] well we are going home but I can't have you cry and sit around crying Monday through Friday so he recreated Germany in this area of St. Louis there's a giant like Bavarian mansion

[00:32:00] this is where hit this kind of art wouldn't have gone he wanted like hunting lodge field German there's a giant giant beer garden and if you go there to this day you get to taste all Anheuser

[00:32:13] bush products are free and I don't know why it makes me laugh every time I walk up and go could I taste Budweiser like look at my age do you think I've really never tasted a Budweiser

[00:32:22] and then I go back out and go how about Bud Light and you know what I've never had a Michelob ultra what is this area in Missouri called? Grant's farm and there's a it's a petting zoo for

[00:32:35] little kids well really it's a petting zoo for me because I love it there's to take the kids I get to drink for free there's goats everywhere there's like one camel they have like one of some

[00:32:47] things but it's mostly goats and there's a lot of camels in Germany so I've seen on nowhere yeah so I don't think that those bushes would have had the money for that it was passed down in some

[00:33:02] family line and the bushes aren't from Antwerp and they're not from Italy we need to think of an Italian family this is crazy an ancient Maya city discovered in Mexican jungle a previously unknown ancient Maya city has been discovered in the jungles of southern Mexico to countries

[00:33:28] anthropology institute said on Tuesday adding it's likely an important it was likely an important center more than a thousand years ago the city includes large pyramid like buildings stone columns three plazas and imposing buildings and other structures arranged in almost concentric circles

[00:33:44] they've named it a ockman ton meaning stone column I'm sure I said that wrong don't email me it's located at an ecological reserve in the country's Yucatan peninsula was discovered during a search of largely unexplored stretch of jungle larger than Luxembourg oh my god we still have

[00:34:10] jungles that big that are unexplored the search took place took place between March and June using aerial laser mapping cool yeah it's there's still stuff there the Maya the Maya civilization known for its advanced mathematical calendar span southeast Mexico and through parts of Central

[00:34:27] America widespread political collapse led to its decline centuries before the arrival of Spanish conquistadors whose military campaigns saw the last stronghold fall in the late 17th century now how long before people can then it's speaking of people going here

[00:34:41] like that probably is safe I get that um they're going to march a picture or something the could we just to backtrack for the the titan submersible submersible thing

[00:34:53] there turns out this guy uh the the captain of it or whatever you want to the CEO but he was in the thing he was texting he was purposely going after rich people to try to get him to go down

[00:35:08] in this because so many people had said no one guy sent a deposit and then heard all this crap yeah I think he saw the 60 minutes deal that the end went oh yeah I don't know about this

[00:35:18] he bailed I don't know if you get your deposit back um but he was texting people he lowered the price from 250 to 150 thousand dollars now what if you're one of the first

[00:35:28] chumps who paid the 250 grad I'd go it's like when you're on an airplane and some people bought their tickets on travel velocity some people went to the website you could be in the same row on the

[00:35:38] same flight and have paid way different amounts yeah what that's bullshit man what do you mean you got an 80 dollar ticket to Hawaii what uh I don't know I've seen more videos of him saying I

[00:35:52] broke all the rules I don't care I think uh any lawyer will tell you a rider and a signing a disclaimer and a permission slip basically it doesn't hold true if there's gross negligence and I do not

[00:36:08] think it will be any problem to prove that this was gross negligence on his point part and then I saw a super like crazy thing so this one guy who seems super duper smart he's

[00:36:19] super duper old uh but he said you he said the basis of his design was going to cause problems but because he mixed three materials together meeting the plexiglass for the portal and then the um

[00:36:33] titanium and then he used something else so whenever you're gonna connect those every seal is another potential problem which is why submarines have no windows that was a hard science yeah um I yeah it was well I saw a bunch of stuff but I just think that man

[00:36:56] and you know they say these people are explorers I are explorers and pioneers that was one of the things I read that is an insult to actual pioneers who got in a covered wagon and fought animals

[00:37:08] bears and god knows what and then now there's Indians out there a pioneer even an explorer a certain Edmund Hillary he walked to the top of Mount Everest because he wanted to

[00:37:20] period that's the only reason yeah I give it that guy's an explorer for sure these are rich people who paid to get in a boat and go down to the bottom and look at a thing that's not

[00:37:34] no I would call you a tourist you're not even the space people have to go through a bunch of training to do it I still don't know that you're just because you're willing to die doesn't mean

[00:37:46] you're an explorer I don't think or a pioneer when I think of what the people the pioneer people had to do well I could I would have killed if I was a pioneer wife and my husband said we're

[00:37:58] leaving like Virginia or North Carolina by the time we got to I don't know Iowa or North Dakota I would have murdered him and would have said you know what god damn it there was nothing wrong

[00:38:10] with Virginia I told you that I wanted to stay then we got to Ohio and you're like let's keep going honey well here we are I mean how far I would that's why I think there's people in Nebraska

[00:38:20] and Missouri because those women just said nope I'm not going one mile further I can't believe we've lived this long if you're by the Mississippi at least you're by a river I love Des Moines

[00:38:32] Des Moines fine they have the uh the river there's what is that river up there I think called to pair like river to pair the fathers something about monks anyway uh holy

[00:38:44] shit they found it this is a good one too it was a very exciting finding week now I mentioned this before but I didn't really understand the whole full story Turkish man knocked down basement

[00:38:56] wall to find a 2,000 year old underground city and you know why yeah here's why he he chate he was chasing chickens through a hole his own chickens he was chasing them a hole in the wall a Turkish homeowner chasing chickens through a hole at his basement in

[00:39:15] his basement why are the chickens in your basement sir during renovations came across an abandoned underground Turkish city that wants to house 20,000 people what in an effort to recapture recapture his escaping poultry the edified man knocked down the wall in the in the 1960s to

[00:39:37] reveal a dark tunnel leading to the ancient city of Ellen Gubbo today known as Darren Kiyoo it this city was burrowed more in 280 feet beneath the central region of something it's the largest evacuated underground city in the world is bleed to connect more than 200 smaller

[00:39:56] separate underground cities that were discovered in recent decades this is turkeys open and all this up that's why it's a story now inside the subterranean city whose interest is connected more than 600 private homes who wants to live underground unless we're hiding from somebody

[00:40:11] I don't get what we're doing they found 18 levels of tunneling containing dwellings dry food storage cattle stable schools wineries even a chapel this city was also equipped with a ventilation system this applied as residents with fresh air and water Jesus how smart were these

[00:40:30] people life underground was probably difficult the residents believed relieve themselves in seal clay jars so there's no toilets lived by torchlight and disposed of dead bodies in designated areas the exact date the impressive city built remains contested but ancients writing back

[00:40:48] they write back to start 370 BC back then the city was likely used to store goods but then was used as a bunker to escape from foreign invaders the dimly lit hallways were intentionally built

[00:41:00] narrow so low so intruders would be forced to stoop and enter in single file that's pretty smart the doors connecting each level were blocked by half ton boulders only movable from the inside yeah but you've also locked then you've bouldered yourself in anytime you make a gate

[00:41:17] you're keeping somebody out but you're keeping you in I've always thought that anytime you make a gate or build a fence yes you might be keeping someone else but you're also

[00:41:29] keeping yourself in I'm only a big fan of offense if it's like in a western movie where it's like a stable fence for stables and I had to buy one for this house I guess my parents I don't know

[00:41:47] I thought fences were your dad built them and then I had to go pay for it and they were and it's not that big at all it just had to because I said I want a pool and then they're like insurance

[00:41:57] wise you gotta have a fence like 7500 dollars I'm like what my dad I'm calling my dad this is bullshit they think people in the bronze age built it but I mean it's just crazy you could

[00:42:13] go chase a chicken and then you find all this it was abandoned in 1923 all the way till then it lasted yeah uh one century after it was rediscovered and then the ancient city was open to visitors curious to experience life underground which was

[00:42:34] oh it was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985 I wonder if you can go wow yeah no kidding that of course where the chickens loved it there's just so much room to roam

[00:42:49] yeah yeah sorry we're going underground you're never gonna see me again bye bye um Gen Z where are my children really yeah they did a giant study gen zers are the worst tippers

[00:43:08] they're not tipping now I think some of the tippings got out of hand because every machine now says I went got my oil change would you like to leave a tip what when did I start doing that

[00:43:19] but then I have two Catholic guilty Midwest whatever I'm like okay fine 10% like I just do it but I do there's a lot of times where I'm like this is not appropriate here like there we used to

[00:43:30] have very distinct things that you tip for and now it's an additional tip yeah an additional tip to the thing you're not telling me I already left yeah how much was already added but I waited

[00:43:41] tables forever and worked in a bar forever so I'm all about tipping but um I guess the Gen Zers here's the scoop on this this is what they say tipping is going on a hot button issue and source of

[00:43:50] frustration for many Americans but like so many issues at the moment Gen Z has a slightly different take and responses situation a recent survey from bank rate whatever bank rate is found that Gen Zers

[00:44:01] or people 18 to 26 years old are the generation least likely to tip when Gen Z dines out they're likely to tip the general except a 20% of a bill the survey found more than half of babies

[00:44:13] boomers surveyed tip at least in 20% but only a quarter of the Gen Zers do I expect a lot of this has to do with Gen Zers being new to adulthood and tipping culture and not having out any as many

[00:44:26] memories of the way it used to be yeah but they're probably getting burnt out on getting asked for a tip for every single thing they do right I'm getting burnt out on it you know

[00:44:36] even it I don't know am I supposed to tip at Starbucks I guess I'll do it but when did that kind of coffee you know just strange places right just because your computer can do that doesn't mean

[00:44:48] you should um across all generations though so um the tendency to tip increases with age a survey of 2,500 adults surveys found but uh baby boomers that's if you're 59 to 77 millennials you are 27 to 42 Gen Xers 43 to 58 uh they all sit they all tip more than Gen Z

[00:45:17] they also have a lot more money they do it's the children they don't they don't have that much money yet but if you but I see a lot of them out in in places where I'm like they look awfully young

[00:45:28] to be afforded this I think that a lot now if I see anybody under 40 in first class I'm like what did you steal how did you get here I never got to this part of the plane until I was 40

[00:45:43] mama saved up I think the tipping out of control feeling is more common among older adults who were more accustomed to buying coffee or picking up a sandwich without a cashier flipping a payment

[00:45:52] term or don't be right right right I didn't even read this part I just thought it well Gen Zers what say you huh they say the rose less likely to tip because they have lower incomes but many

[00:46:05] young adults also seem to have to have a social justice take on tipping as in it's not fair and we should be doing it oh my god however I'd note that tipping is a little lent now see if you go

[00:46:18] France for instance if you want to be a waiter and stuff you have to go to school for that yes and then tipping is just a bonus it's not expected because they make very good salaries

[00:46:32] all those little cafe guys that look to be 60 years old buzzing around they're making good cash so if you want to tip them go for it but it's not expected because they make a good you did with

[00:46:42] servers and bartenders I'm not talking about the guy who changed my oil but um right here's one speaking of the children this was for you Taco Bell to soon erupt with its volcano menu this summer

[00:46:59] yeah who didn't fire fire fire volcano burrito volcano taco and and the added an option to add lava sauce on any item what's the lava sauce I don't know I never ordered lava sauce I have no idea

[00:47:14] the product will be available first with early access for taco bell rewards members on June 27th and general availability will begin on June 29th for a limited time get out there children your food

[00:47:26] is back yeah I liked it um all right this guy this is crazy what's mad at your face because I can't believe someone will go through this with this dead man shows up at his funeral in a helicopter

[00:47:47] to teach the family important the importance of staying of touch in touch well I can tell you what all the young people are going to say at the funeral oh who knew uncle boo boo was fucking

[00:47:59] crazy whatever I'll tell you his name is I'm telling David I think yeah note to self don't invite David to shit weird weird cry baby ranch it's no secret that even in the modern day any easy

[00:48:12] age of easy communication with advanced technology at last thing we do is communicate with our loved one days go by without us contacting our family or friends over a period of time we lose touch one man decided to give his family a wake-up call albeit an extreme one

[00:48:26] to make everyone realize just how important communication relationships are according to the independent a Belgian man faked his own death they never say how he did that though I am interested

[00:48:37] how what it how well yeah I mean it's harder anyway and showed up at his own funeral in a helicopter giving his grieving relatives the biggest shock of their lives David Burton claimed that he staged the elaborate elaborate prank to teach his family the members

[00:48:54] family members the value of staying in touch with one another cry baby ranch David send everybody attacks go hey where are you little pigs at how come nobody's answering me and then just keep bothering them they'll answer eventually this is a stage funeral was held near Leige

[00:49:15] after one of Burton's daughters he allegedly wrote a tribute to her father which said rest in peace said I will never stop thinking about you why is life on so unfair why you you're going you

[00:49:25] were going to be a grandfather and you still had your whole life out of you I love you we love you we will never forget you however Burton's prank did not go down well with viewers and many

[00:49:32] people accused him of being cruel yeah this guy's from Belgium if you're wondering where all this is happening yeah um I don't hear there's more um yeah he expressed um hurt because his family members didn't invite him to anything well perhaps it's for reasons like this David

[00:49:54] right right maybe you could take a different approach rather than scaring the shit out of everyone just saying nobody sees me well grow apart I felt under appreciated that's why I wanted to

[00:50:08] give them a life lesson and show them you shouldn't wait until someone is dead to meet up with them he was fortunate that his stunt worked uh he also stated that despite the fact that only

[00:50:17] half of his family members attended his fake funeral other relatives have contacted him since I would have and here would have been my message what the actual fuck is wrong with you

[00:50:30] you need a therapist David how much money did that set you back this proves who really cares about me those who didn't come those who didn't come contact me to meet meet up so in a way I did win

[00:50:45] but he also realized how much heart he had caused to the ones who cared about him with his immature prank during his appearance on tpm p barton express regret for carrying out the stunt

[00:50:54] he revealed that his wife was aware of his plan from the start and attempted to derail it um that's right the prankster let his children believe he had died for a couple of days oh my

[00:51:05] god before telling them the truth about his action he told the chat show that it was his film crew insisted who insisted on only documenting the stunt if he told his children

[00:51:14] and sister he wasn't really dead he has however insisted that they half knew it was a prank from the they have knows a prank from the start he said after seeing his loved ones after I started

[00:51:23] receiving messages from people and videos of them crying I wish I could have canceled the whole thing but it was too late okay here's the main thing everybody knows uncle david's crazy that's

[00:51:39] what came out of that is that what you were shooting for um then he asked himself why have you done this it was a human need to have a sense of belongingness and togetherness many people

[00:51:50] feel lonely if you're one of them we suggest you pick up that phone and call not tax your love one to check on them if possible go meet with them for a special occasion yeah yeah I think

[00:52:05] david's got more problems than just a fake funeral that he created yeah um yes here's just a little shout out okay do you guys listen to serious radio he spent a lot on this yeah yeah

[00:52:23] to get a priest or some religious person to go along with the fake funeral and chick this is just for country music fans um special announcement because stormy warren has been the dj on serious radio uh the morning the whole morning the highway that channel the highway

[00:52:42] do you guys listen to that I'm not the I'm half in and half out on country but for you diehards stormy announced that he was leaving and I used to go on a show because he's in Nashville and

[00:52:50] I used to go down there just for fun and he's a friend of mine and I think he liked that I don't really know that much about country music and and I don't have a song to push and something

[00:53:00] I would go down there with nothing to plug I don't he I was just his friend that popped in and was funny so and then I gave me truly love you stormy but the second reason which

[00:53:10] is almost a tie to the first reason of seeing seeing stormy is he gave me a reason to day drink and then be home before the children get downtown yeah um I was always back in an Uber by three o'clock

[01:01:38] yet um Inish Morris but the night out there that's where the Madigans have a hotel it's the only hotel it's called Madigan's um Inish man that's tiny and then Inish shearing okay so they're

[01:01:55] gonna pay you they have a scheme to revitalize more than 20 of the idyllic islands that lie off its western seaboard um whose breathtaking landscapes you might recognize from the Hollywood hit the banshees of Inish here as well as 10 Irish speaking Geltic islands increased grants of up to

[01:02:13] 92,000 will be offered to people willing to refurbish refurbish vacant or derelict homes and then live in them but you don't own it but who cares why would you don't want to live there

[01:02:24] forever no in my mind I said to Lewis because he went with me I go you know I think if I'd have lived somewhere this quiet I would have been a better student he laughed so hard he almost

[01:02:38] fell out of the carriage the horse carriage thing he goes you're gonna blame it on noise I was like well I don't know if I if I don't have anybody to talk to I'll pay more attention

[01:02:51] I'm social I like people most of them there's still bar you can't tell me there's a bar where people are talking about stuff and then want me to stay home and read Shakespeare it's never gonna

[01:03:01] happen I'm going to the bar nobody cares about that no so would be islanders should be aware there are no restrictions on who can buy property in Ireland owning a piece doesn't although there are no restrictions it doesn't guarantee you the right to live there the

[01:03:16] government website has the latest details on our living islands policy and the existent refurbishment scheme I'm gonna go read it I want to know but they always say they want young people

[01:03:26] which I get I mean you don't want to deal with and like the Blasket Islands they told them in 19 it was like 1952 they gave them a warning and said you can't live here anymore it's not safe

[01:03:38] just because the Atlantic Ocean in the winter is crazy and a bunch of them said for tough shit we're not leaving they go well we're actually coming to get you then and you can go look in these

[01:03:49] old little like island stone cottages and it's as if time stopped one day in 1952 there's like a high chair with little baby food on it like and no one has disturbed it it's extremely strange

[01:04:06] yeah I I think you could go a little crazy out there I've read books about people who lived out there yeah well and like my little horse guy that took us around he was one of 11 and he's the

[01:04:21] only one who stayed and he's on Enishmore which is hopping compared to the other two so I mean that just tells you you know but I think it could be fun for a couple years

[01:04:36] and if the government will pay you why not if I was young I would go do it now we're all gonna learn how to be happy yep I'm always happy um except um at the airport

[01:04:53] I'm probably not the happiest person I could be I'm not my best self no no who is it's too much like I think of my friend acts right now then so they rebook their flight it was supposed to go

[01:05:05] to Orlando cancel you can go tomorrow at four he's at band he's got shit to do and then um they got a gig right and then not that that's more important than other people but he's going for work not for

[01:05:16] pleasure so then they rebooked to Fort Lauderdale which would give you a three-hour drive to wherever they needed to go after Orlando then they um that's delayed for four hours what yeah I it's

[01:05:26] just shit like that I gotta stop it about the normal people don't care um because you don't have to do it every week and I wouldn't care either um it takes a lot for you to show up

[01:05:37] um Finland is the number one happiest country in the world and here's what they number one last year they were number one we talked about it but here's the meaning of life in five words it's what they say a Finnish philosopher and psychology researchers people often as one

[01:05:55] people often ask me what is the meaning of life the bigger question is what isn't about some cosmic meaning of life it's about how to find meaning in life what makes

[01:06:04] what makes life feel worthy and valuable to you for six years in a row Finland has ranked number one as the happiest country in the world having lived there my entire life I learned that finding meaning

[01:06:13] and life boils down to five words make yourself meaningful to others well the Catholics always tell you that if you're depressed go out and do something for somebody else because even socially it will make you feel better right you're useful yeah you know nobody likes a sad clown

[01:06:33] not that you can't be a sad clown sometimes but you got it like my dad would say you dad would put like a thing on the refrigerator this was terrible you're allowed to cry for one hour

[01:06:43] and then he put up a calendar of how long somebody was allowed to cry if you broke up with somebody or he had different times for different things because otherwise you're gonna get stuck in

[01:06:51] it and you're gonna wallow and you won't be able to get out like what are you talking about like yes he controls our feeling time here's what you're supposed to do number one live for yourself

[01:07:10] not for someone else's expectations there tends to be less stat status anxiety in Finland because people aren't so concerned about adhering to a rigid societal definition of success that's what i like about Ireland too nobody ever asked has ever asked me what i did for a living

[01:07:26] they asked me what you do for fun ever right no one's ever hey how'd you make enough money to buy 12 Guinness don't you worry about that fun lady the queeta fun uh it can be hard to live with

[01:07:41] purpose if you're going through the motions burned out or filled with resentments because you're on a path that someone else picked for you even a meaningful job like being a doctor

[01:07:48] can be feel empty if your heart isn't in it but before you can give it to someone else you have to understand what makes you happy number two become an expert and share your knowledge

[01:07:58] that's where i might feel a little bit i know a lot about like bigfoot beagles bass fishing yeah it's things that aren't really one of the best ways to serve others is find something that meets three requirements you're good at it it excites you gambling

[01:08:15] hello i can take teach gambling classes yes craps i know all of it and it has a positive impact on others well that depends on if they win and that's on you i'm not the one who bet

[01:08:28] red on relayed am i no once you find a job or hobby that makes you feel fulfilled but all your focus into becoming an expert in it then share it with your community number three practice

[01:08:38] rack and a marac uh and random acts of kindness yep number four be a good neighbor yeah uh talk is an old finished word that translates to working together to do something that one would not be able to do alone in agricultural times when someone had a big

[01:08:57] project at their farms which is building a barn roof they'd hold a talk neighbors would gather voluntarily and put in today's work to help and then celebrate with food and drinks the tradition comes carries on to this day less sober white neighborhood spent an afternoon

[01:09:09] planting trees that evening we set up tables and then had a jolly jolly jolly evening with snacks and beverages the kind of culture extends to why finish people often feel positively about civic

[01:09:19] duties like paying taxes they see this as an essential hole for the good number five oh this won't be hard for me well embrace quiet time together i don't like quiet time i like to talk

[01:09:33] people don't need to be make grand gestures or be a part of an important part of your life being together in silence is enough to make us feel connected and loved that would be like torture

[01:09:42] for me to sit there with somebody i like yeah and just go how much longer till we feel something you're not really can i talk yet you're not really a meditator no no um this guy likes to go

[01:09:59] on the sauna well yeah i get so hot and i want to get out the minute the finish saying goes speech is silver but silence is gold that's what the fins recommend that you feel good stories

[01:10:14] feel good story there for your last one yeah barn raising the amish do it the canadian settlers did it i don't know if the american ones did it i think you'd have to know some amish people that's how my dad got the roof on the hunting cabin
