Episode 144: Explaining Ghostlighting, Combusting Cacti, & Crowning Buc-ee’s Brisket

[00:00:00] Hey everybody, it's me Kathleen Madigan. Welcome to Madigan's Pubcast. You grab yourself a drink, pull up a bar stool, let's talk about what's been going on. Termites! Fire in, Oppenheimer. Fire! Episode 144! Termites, how is everybody's summer? Mine is, well, there have been better ones. But it's fine.

[00:00:42] It's fine! It's fine! That's what we all just keep saying. It's fine! I'm sneaking fun in. What I'm drinking right now, in honor of my friend Little Dorf, is a Zanies beer, the comedy club in Nashville and Chicago. There's two at least in Chicago. Downtown,

[00:01:01] I don't know how many are still up on the suburbs. But Laughin' Guy Lager, Rosemont is open. There used to be one in the neighborhood. Oh no, was that a funny bone? There used to be two Zanies out in the suburbs in Chicago.

[00:01:15] Because I worked on both. But anyway, in honor of Little Dorf, in honor of being in Nashville, there's a Nashville beer from Tennessee Brewworks which is also my friend Erica who's the bartender at Party Fall, helped me procure this

[00:01:29] pint glass. I'm not gonna say how we did that but we worked it out and it's from Tailgate Brewery in Nashville so it's an all-Nashville celebration right here on this desk. Because you've been home for all week! See my own house for a day.

[00:01:42] Not that I don't like my mom's basement. No. No. Here's the creepiest thing. And I'm gonna post pictures. My when my sister's twins were little, they had these dolls that are bizarrely realistic. Like and it's Big Baby Paw Paw and Vicky, I think they named the other one

[00:02:08] Big Baby Paw Paw and Vicky. So when they were little, my parents would take these dolls wherever they went like to Florida or to a casino and then take pictures of the dolls at different locations and the girls were super little and thought it was hilarious that

[00:02:22] Big Baby Paw Paw and Vicky got to go on vacations. It got out of hand. It got to the point where I'm like if anybody saw this in a text thread, like the whole family would be incarcerated or somehow put away. Like this is creepy.

[00:02:37] And then it got to the point where they were taking them out and stuff. I'm like okay, so we've gotta put the brakes on this. It was funny. But anyway, Big Baby Paw Paw and Vicky live in my parents' basement now. And at night, if you...

[00:02:51] And there's more of them. They're the two leaders but there's more of those dolls. There's probably six. And sometimes they blink. If they just move a little bit, they blink weirdly. Gross. Anyway, they're in my mom's basement. Like she'll go do you want to just stay here

[00:03:12] instead of going over to your condo? No, no, no. Not going to nope. Not sleeping with Big Baby Paw Paw and Vicky. Nope. Not the rest of the dolls that I'm sure walk at night and do Christ knows what in the basement. Not happening. Anyway.

[00:03:26] That's what we're drinking. What are we gonna try in honor of National Sniders? One of my favorite pretzels has made pieces Nashville Hot as in hot chicken. If you've never had Nashville Hot Chicken, it's basically flash fried and then there's a hot sauce all over it

[00:03:42] and it's one of my favorite things. But you have to like hot sauce because you'll hate it otherwise. And they offer like mild medium. I get mild and I like hot. And there's one that has poltergeist. Yeah, I mean you can't even... Oh wow, these are really good.

[00:03:57] There's a pickle. There's a pickle back into it. Oh yeah. Wow. Good job. I don't usually think you should mess with a pretzel. They're hot though. Oh my god. But keep your skinny. You won't eat that many. Promise. We're also gonna find a little old school craft.

[00:04:15] Craft doesn't make a bad product. They really don't. And I don't know how they keep afloat with so many other things but good job, craft. This is Buffalo style dressing. They say you can dip, dunk and spread it. They have it on fries, sandwiches.

[00:04:31] Yeah, well we'll see about that. It's a brand new item at Target. Merica. Merica baby. We're about everything. Yeah. I could see it on fries. On fries. Yeah. It'd be good on a sandwich. If you like Buffalo. Yeah. Fair enough. Good job, craft. Good job, Sniders.

[00:04:55] Which one do you like better? I don't think the craft, I think the pretzels are still burning my tongue off. Yeah. I mean they're interesting and they're good for what they are but I don't want a pretzel to be that hot.

[00:05:09] Maybe a potato chip but not a pretzel. Anyway. So then we have a few termite things. Mike, my friend who sent Possum Way also sent me this Stuff Possum which I'm gonna go terrify baby cat with as soon as it... Oh. No, I'm gonna give it...

[00:05:27] I'm gonna let her...she likes to gather toys and I think it's adorable but he wrote... Check it out, it was funny. He said, thanks for all the laughs. Just some doodads of Possums for you. Yeah, remember a Possum is just a cat that's on a bender. Whoa.

[00:05:47] Yeah. And you know what? The Possums have never hurt the cats. You know what's hurt the cats? Another cat. There's a big orange thing that walks around that's meaner than shit and these cats who have lived outside inside... Most...well, raised outside. They don't react at all.

[00:06:04] They're total chicken shits. They jump up on the ledge and stare at it and it's down there going... But every injury they've come home with I know is from that cat and I don't know how to keep it off the property.

[00:06:16] I can't but they need to man up. The only one that fights back is Cato because she's mean. But also I really don't want her to fight back because that cat's twice the size. She hisses at me every time I come over.

[00:06:28] She hisses at you when you come over because nobody's supposed to be on the property except me. This is crazy. And the cat. It's crazy. Yeah, it is crazy. And the deer and the fox. Yeah. My little kid from Rover, one of the children

[00:06:43] that comes over and takes care of them when I'm not home. So we got that, the Possum. This person, look at this paddles. This is baby Duke's mayonnaise in travel packages. Stop it. I know how great is that. And some Duke stickers from my notebook

[00:07:01] which I have a new notebook. I start with a new joke book every fall. Yeah, it's like a little thing to make me feel like I have a new year on the road. It starts in September. My road starts in September. Back to school.

[00:07:14] These are termites Whitney, Andrea and Claire. One of my favorite names. They got me all this Duke stuff and it's just awesome. So shout out to those guys. And there was a little, what would Dolly do pin in there? Cool. Yeah, put that on my jeans jacket.

[00:07:29] All right, let's move this. I can't wait to, this is the stuff that makes me excited to go back on the road. Just when you think after 35 years I'm tired of the road. I'm tired of this because it travels so bad.

[00:07:39] But then I'm like, yeah, but I have my secret Duke's mayonnaise package. No, it really does. It's a game changer. I steal sometimes admittedly. It's usually from airplanes. They have the tiniest Tabasco bottles ever. And they won't reuse them. So it's not really stealing.

[00:07:59] I'm making better use of them. Hotels, yeah. And their game changer too. Donna, this is Donna from Sterling Heights, Michigan, which by the way, I'm booking 2024 of just staying Detroit's in the schedule. Yeah, I'm not sure which dates,

[00:08:17] but it's going to be two nights at the Royal Oak. Yeah, that's so great. Because then I can go out with my friends there and not have to think I have to get up at six in the morning, go do my little Detroit things I like to do.

[00:08:32] She's got Michigan ones, possum stickers. Very, very nice. So thank you. Love the stickers. The other stickers have to be chosen carefully for the new notebook because I think it all jinxes it. And I only can have one kind of notebook. I won't write in anything.

[00:08:46] You put them on your Yeti too. I put them on the Yeti. I put them on the calendar book. I have one of those old school because I need to see the whole year at one time. Anyway, that's enough about me.

[00:08:57] Well, we'll get to what are we watching, but we're going to start with some Queen news. Guess who it's about? Tay-Tay! Tay-Tay, your favorite palace. Love her. This is why she's a queen. She gave her eras to her truckers a $100,000 raise. Stop it. Yeah.

[00:09:17] How lucky are those truckers? She's amazing. She's sorry for what she said about the stupid old pickup truck. He never let her drive. That was from his song. She's giving her truckers a massive $100,000 raise for moving her set pieces across the United States. The bonuses came after

[00:09:35] the Bad Blood Stingers show in Santa Clara, which is San Francisco for people just south of there. This week is Sophia, and then it's over. It's over. Yeah. What's the last one? Sophia. L.A. Oh, Los Angeles. Five nights. No. You want to go? Come on. Come on.

[00:09:55] No. I once was enough this summer. I have to wait for the next one. There are nearly 50 truckers involved in moving equipment for the tour. 50 truckers. I'd just like to point out at a discount price. I just show up with my own pillow and a notebook. Okay?

[00:10:14] So easy to book me. Do you have luggage? Nope, just this pillow because I'm allergic to hotel stuff. Just me and my pillow. Yep. No, I'll be wearing the jeans I have on now on stage. No problem. I have a shirt. Yep.

[00:10:28] You got a light beard in the back? And Taylor, I don't know how this stuff gets released, but she does it without the fanfare of handing over checks with a picture. Yeah. And then, yeah, it gets out, but of course it's going to get out. She's amazing.

[00:10:41] Swiffer's truckers weren't the only ones who were left enchanted by her generosity. The news out of the reviews feels that Swift also gave the end of tour bonuses to all her band members, dancers lighting and sound technicians and caterers. That's awesome. Yep. It's unclear how much they received,

[00:10:55] but it was a very generous amount. She's projected to make $1 billion in ticket sales, making it the highest grossing tour ever. Did you just say billion? Billion. No, she won't get all that, but, you know. Guess who's out there? It's amazing. Her agency. Her agency. I know.

[00:11:13] I got to find out whose agent. I'm going to call my agent and go, who's got Taylor? I'd like to book her for my birthday party. Ben? Oh, okay. Let's talk to Ben Mike. Who's got Tay-Tay? I don't ever know the music agents.

[00:11:25] I don't know anything about them, but I do know that there's quite a few hair bands at my agency available if anybody has like, um, um, poison or... I love Rat Michaels. Rat. I would love to go in that department for like a week

[00:11:42] just to hear the conversations. Okay, you'd like Rat to perform a 45-minute set? How about Warren? Hmm? That'll be sure they're fun though. I mean, I'd go see them. I'd go see all of it. Uh, here's some Queen news about... It's all about Tay-Tay.

[00:11:58] Now, we're going to take a break from that because she's going off into the interglance of the rest of the globe, so we probably won't hear as much, but... We will. So you people who don't like Tay-Tay just block your ears off. Um, uh, she caused an earthquake.

[00:12:12] Her...the fans caused an earthquake. Seismic activity during the Seattle shows. It registered at 2.3. I said that in Denver, I'm like, this whole thing's going to go down. It's awesome. Well, it did not, but I was completely wrong. That's just why I'm not a seismologist or anything.

[00:12:29] That's a little science involved. Little science involved. In my mind, I'm like, okay, we're done. Um, they caused a 2.3 magnitude earthquake according to seismologist Jackie Auerbach. It's been compared to the Seattle Seahawks when they erupted their fans after an oppressive touchdown by Marshawn Lynch.

[00:12:47] The ensuing celebration was detected on the same local's size-o-meter as the SWIFT thing. So great. Um, I mean, that's how crazy it goes in there. That's why I'm glad I saw it. I don't know that we'll ever see... You felt it in your chest.

[00:13:01] Yes, but I was a little concerned. Well... The Denver Stadium's not new. No. Just saying. Now here's one more Tay-Tay thing then. We're moving on to... Because I have no other Queen news. Um, although I have been Googling a lot of lyrics

[00:13:18] because I'm going to have a new segment on this thing that makes me laugh. Lyrics that we sang and we had no idea what they meant. Not the wrong words things. Because every time people get drunk, we do the, you know...

[00:13:30] What song did you sing with the wrong words? I will never forget my dad singing the song... Um, okay, the song went like this... Uh... He was singing 100% seriously. And I don't want to chase. I go, what did you just say? I love to see you tonight.

[00:13:58] I go, dad, who would write a song about fighting about linen? Well, I mean that's what I hear. I'm like, okay, well, do you keep singing what you want to sing? But I'm telling you it's moving in. Not the linen.

[00:14:15] Uh, these are the smartest of all the children. This is for the children. They couldn't get Taylor Swift tickets, so they got jobs at the venues. Smart. I've thought about that at sporting events, um, especially baseball games. I was thought about the beer people,

[00:14:32] mostly guys, but there's some beer women. They got to see all the World Series games, like every time the Cardinals were in the playoffs or World Series, they got to see it all. You just don't, you need to make sure that your job isn't inside.

[00:14:45] You gotta make sure you get an usher job, and you get a good supply just for that. Because I've seen all the ushers at these things going crazy dancing, which is fine. They should be. It's supposed to be fun. It's so great.

[00:14:58] Um, as the founder of an app that connects workers with hospitality goods, Davis Waddle knows there's always a surge in applications for high-profile events. Football fans clamored to work the Super Bowl baseball, baseball lawyers for all-star games, but it's never been anything like the volume

[00:15:12] of seekers who have flooded when, uh, Swift concerts came through. You're getting double or triple of me out the applicants for heart. Uh, there's 65 job, the app had 65 available jobs for each one. The average of 1,037 people applied per show. That's a pretty good odd, so

[00:15:30] you'll probably get it. You're gonna have to have way more staff. Yeah. So, good for the children. Smart. The kids that can't afford it don't have parents that are willing to pay 20-billion dollars. They're right. Yeah. I'm glad that my nieces wanted to go

[00:15:50] when it wasn't this popular. I know. And I'm glad that I got to go. And I just said, hey, can I sneak some tickets for Kansas City? I mean, I'll pay for them, but that was on Tay-Tay's last tour and it wasn't the explosive thing

[00:16:04] that it's become, so. And my nieces, because they live in, like, not a major city, I told them that I'd gotten them tickets and they were like, okay, what song is she gonna sing? They were so little. They thought it was like a YouTube video.

[00:16:22] They thought she was gonna come out and do one thing and then leave. And I said to my sister, you know what's crazy is they'd have been satisfied with that. Everybody, Taylor should learn from that and do an under-12 concert, under-13.

[00:16:34] And then just do two songs and go, bye! And then be like, okay, bye! Update! Update! The Klimt painting, the one I told you Termites about. It sold for 108 million. Because that's what I said. If you have 80, you have 100. Just throw down, like on an eBay auction,

[00:16:56] like my Sound of Music plates on eBay. Just throw down an amount. What's your max? Let them sweat it out. It was in London. 108.4 million, making it the most expensive artwork ever auctioned in Europe. Lady with a fan sold to a buyer in the room.

[00:17:13] It saw some bees in London after a 10 minute bidding war. That's it, 10 minutes. For a hammer price, the higher final figure includes a charge on top of the sale. So it was really 94.35 million, but then you gotta put, I guess they have fees too. Who doesn't?

[00:17:30] The sale players well exceeded the estimate of 60, of 80 million they thought it would get. So there's your update. That's awesome. Yeah, it's a beautiful painting. This is one I understand why if you had the money, you might buy it for your house.

[00:17:44] But I still think it should be in a museum. And I would not be a little pig jackass who just hid it from the world. It's not fair. No. It's not right. Terrible. Well that's me being judgmental. Update! The Kansas City Chief Superfan Wolf Boy

[00:18:04] has become a fugitive after the bank robbery charge has been caught in California. Oh, the Kansas City Wolf. The Chief Wolf. He's been missing for quite a while. If you follow this podcast, you know. So I'll back you. Well, this article should probably say,

[00:18:21] Kansas City man who gained attention for dressing in a full wolf's costume at Kansas City Chief's games and who allegedly removed his ankle monitor while he was out on bail on bank robbery charges, he would also rob the bank in his wolf outfit.

[00:18:32] I mean, I don't stop it. Yeah, he's not that smart. No. You can't be the wolf. No. And then be the wolf unless you really believe you're a wolf, which is possible. Which maybe he does. Maybe he does. He's been arrested in California.

[00:18:47] His real name is Xavier Michael Babadar, a 28-year-old man known to the 2023 Super Bowl chaps by his Twitter handle, Chief Soholich. He was taken into custody Friday in Lincoln, California just 30 miles northeast of Sacramento after more than three months as a fugitive.

[00:19:04] The US attorney from Missouri's Western District said in a release, yeah, he kept robbing banks to go to Chief's games. Now if you're crazy, that makes sense. I don't have any money. I want to go to the Chief's game. I'm already in a disguise.

[00:19:20] I'm dressed as a wolf. I'm just going to go rob the bank and then we're going to go to Chief's game. It's not right, but... No, it's not right. It's creative. We do not in more circumstances. He's going to be in a lot of trouble.

[00:19:32] He was robbing banks and credit unions in the Midwest and then to launder the money. He was buying and redeeming casino chips in Kansas City, Missouri and Illinois and also funding bank accounts. So he walks into launder the money, say he's got a hundred grand.

[00:19:45] He gets chips to go play crafts. Then he just goes back and then trades in the chips and gets clean money. The money that doesn't have the paint on it and shit. But the casino... I'm shocked that casinos don't... When they run their money through the...

[00:20:00] I'm surprised it doesn't pick up on the paint or whatever this... Why are casinos still accepting? I don't know. I don't get it. He stole more than $845,000 from six banks including roughly $70,000 from the institution in Iowa. Some of the 163,000 was covered in red dye

[00:20:24] was immediately recovered after one of the robberies. Yeah, but not at the casino. He deposited $70,000 in a credit union between this date and that date. He also withdrew $68,000. He had deposited... What's he doing when the chiefs aren't playing?

[00:20:38] I guess he's got to rob a lot of banks for the whole season. And they're good so the chiefs keep going. They got to get the playoffs or maybe Super Bowl. He has no wages in Kansas since 2018 and in any other state since October 21.

[00:20:57] So he just always does his rob banks. Physical gloves in the suspects car appear to match the gloves worn in the thefts. I'm sure they probably... Where's his wolf outfit? Go find his wolf costume. There's DNA everywhere. Somebody should take his place at the games.

[00:21:15] We got to have a sub for the wolf. Who wants to be wolf too? Wolfie. We'll call you Wolfie. Baby. Baby Wolf. Baby Wolfie? What are you doing? I can't be... I would love to do it and I would do it.

[00:21:28] And I'm short enough that you could call me tiny wolf. Baby Wolf. Baby Wolf. But I do have Sundays off usually but I'm traveling. I can't get there. You can be a wolf pup. A wolf pup, that's right. Wolf pup. Wolf pup. That doesn't rob banks. No. No.

[00:21:44] Update! You do like barbecue. I like Kansas City. It's a fun town. High school student. This is a trader update. Who sat in Pence's chair during the capital ride of sentence to one year in prison. Was it worth it? No! To go sit in some stodgy leather chair.

[00:22:04] Probably smells like Old Man's Cologne. Bleh. Bleh. A high school student who stormed the US Capitol assaulted a police officer and sat in a senate floor chair reserved for vice president. Was sentenced to Wednesday to one year in prison. Georgia resident Bruno Joseph Kua was a team

[00:22:19] when he attacked the Capitol making one of the youngest people charged in the riot. He did apologize for his actions. He said he's ashamed of his role in the mob's attack on democracy. Well, what have we learned? First of all, don't trespass. Let's start with that.

[00:22:36] Another rioter update. Trader, trader, trader. A New York man who stole a police radio badge from Washington cop who was beaten by a mob. The cop was beaten by the mob during January 6th. He was sentenced over four years in prison.

[00:22:51] It's one of the longest sentences given out. Great. Was it worth it, Thomas? Sibic of Buffalo? I don't want to hear a buffaloonian did that. I love buffalo. I like the bills. I like the people. I like the food. Well, he's from Buffalo.

[00:23:11] He stole the badge of the radio and cop Michael Fanone who's been one of several officers attacked that day to test the 504 Congress. Sentenced at 50 months or four years in two months in prison. Ordered to pay $7,500. He pleaded guilty in March. There's a picture of him.

[00:23:29] The cop fought for his life against members of the violent mob. Prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memorandum that asked for 71 months. They called the Capitol attack. An attack on the rule of law. Four years. Oh, I'm sorry. Four years. For one day. In a frenzy. Update! Mark Zuckerberg

[00:23:57] has lost 40 billion on the metaverse. That's excellent news. How many times we have to say this on this nobody wants your goggles. I've said it for a year, at least once a month, nobody wants your expensive goggles. There are cheaper versions that are just as good.

[00:24:17] I will repeat, my nephew Kevin has a cheap version and the roller coaster was so real I almost vomited. So whatever you're selling, Mark, nobody wants it at that price anyway. This is why what's her name, Cheryl Sandberg? She was me in this.

[00:24:39] She's like, nope, we're not spending all that money on that. And he was like, the robot turns and goes, yes we are. I have decided we are spending the money. Well, there you go, Mark. 40 billion. Now what do we do? Do we quit Twitter

[00:24:55] with Elon and go to threads to Mark? The devil you know, the devil you also know. I don't know. I think a lot of people are quitting Twitter. But then people when I say that, they say stay. I'll go look at threads too, I guess.

[00:25:09] I keep saying I will but I've been busy. They're waiting. Threads, they're waiting? Are you waiting for my arrival? The unit has lost more than 40 billion since 2021. 13 billion last year. He told investors he understood why many of them would feel discomfort over such a long-term bet. Discomfort.

[00:25:31] Wow, maybe that's how you feel if you already have a billion dollars. This is mildly discomforting. If you put actual savings in there, you'd be like, yeah. The metaverse is not coming true, Mark. Let go. I know it's hard to walk out of a casino when you're losing.

[00:25:51] But sometimes you just gotta go well, I didn't do so good on that one and move on. Spend that money on something else. Think of what Dolly Parton would have done with that money, Mark. True that. Update! Take a tate on holiday. Yep. Adidas

[00:26:09] is the second batch of Yeezy sneakers after breakup with Yee. Stop it! Well, they finally figured out a good compromise, I think. Good. Here it is. Your nephew likes them, doesn't he? My nephew likes the slides. Yeah. Jack's into that. But that was before we knew

[00:26:29] he was gonna... ...go crazy. ...that Yee Kanya was gonna, you know, lose his mind again. It's releasing the second batch of high-end Yeezy sneakers after cutting ties with rapper Yee. Am I saying that right? Yee? Well, how else would you say why Yee? Yee? I don't know.

[00:26:53] It sounds like you're in a gang battle. Yee! Like a mobster. The Germans force where a brand seeks to unload the unsold shoes while donating to groups to fighting anti-Semitism. So there you go. Now, I need to see some paperwork on that.

[00:27:09] I don't like it when people say, I portion of these from these when we donated to... Well, how much? A German-based company. This is not a good look. Okay. Twice. You guys have gone a little off the rails. Too much beer.

[00:27:27] And the next thing you know, the whole world's at war. The online sale just start Wednesday. I'll count on to read it like it's an ad. The online sale to start Wednesday through Adidas smartphone apps and its website follows an earlier set of sales in May.

[00:27:41] Models that would be available include Yeezy Boost 350V2, 500 and 700 as well as Yeezy Slide and Foam NRN. I only know what one thing is out of that entire sentence I just read. Get good. So they cut ties after he made anti-Semitic and other offensive remarks online in interviews.

[00:27:59] That left Adidas holding 1.2 billion also of euros which is 1.3 billion worth of unsold Yeezy's in search for a responsible way to dispose of them. Wow. They said that selling the popular sneakers and donating to the profits was the best solution to deal with the unsold inventory

[00:28:13] and make a difference. He said that the company spoke with non-governmental organization and groups that were harmed by Yeezy's comments in action. Part of the proceeds, part of the profits from the sales will go to the anti-deformation and an institute for social change run by Phyllonee's

[00:28:29] Floyd, the brother of George Floyd. Oh, nice. So there you go. If you like those shoes, they're back on the market and the profits are so we're being told. I don't have any proof. It's going to good good places. That's a very smart

[00:28:51] reconciliation of a shitty situation for them. When an artist dies with me proclaimed Nero. Nero is one of my favorite emperors because he's completely batshit crazy. I wouldn't want him to be close to Nero because at any moment he could just kill you.

[00:29:17] But it's like being BFFs with Henry VIII. Unpredictable. Too many heads being chopped off. I don't want to be on the inner circle but to be on the outer circle to watch this guy in action. Whoa. So the emperor of Rome, AD 54 until AD 68

[00:29:35] I didn't realize he was that long. I thought it was shorter. Reportedly uttered these famous last words before his death in exile. Experts believe he may have left behind evidence his love of the arts in the form of a theater he built in what is now

[00:29:49] what is today the Vatican an archaeological excavation carried out in the courtyard of the frescoed Palazzo della Rivera has brought light to light and structures. They said it's an exceptional discovery it's a believe to be where Nero rehearsed poetry and musical performances a place mentioned in Roman

[00:30:09] writings but until now never located. They've been working on the site since 2020 and they say they found part of a hemice cycle shaped seating section along with elegant costumes in precious and valuable marbles refining decorations and gold leaf on stucco and storage rooms for costumes and scenery. Yeah!

[00:30:31] The dig which was carried out in the circumscribed area within the walls of the Grand Palazzo situated on Via della whatever just a few steps away from St. Peter's Square which also gifted other rich historical findings so they're right over there

[00:30:49] but see so if you're going to Italy this summer anybody? If you go to No I'm not either. You can't go in August it's too hot there's too many people Yeah and they're not big on AC over there but if you go to St. Peter's

[00:31:05] you could probably see where they're doing this I mean they might have a walled off so you don't have any Gawkers but maybe not Maybe not What are we watching? Yeah I only have one good holy shit they found it This week Yeah some weeks there's more

[00:31:25] So Oppenheimer I saw in the IMAX in Nashville it was so great but I love Killian Murphy because he's Peaky Blinders But he lost so much weight almost doesn't even look like he tried to look like Oppenheimer who was super skinny because he just changed smoked cigs

[00:31:43] and drank martinis which doesn't sound bad to me I know I haven't gone that route yet it's nice to know it's still available It was so good but the first tickets I bought I bought upside down because I can't explain it

[00:32:01] I did it wrong on my phone and I was supposed to be in the front row and I was like I can't I'm gonna vomit because I did that for Batman once I didn't even want to see Batman I could care less about Batman

[00:32:13] but my friends from work were going and we had the front row and it wasn't IMAX but it was a giant screen I was holding a martini on a tray with an olive in it and I was so close to the screen all I saw was an olive

[00:32:25] a giant olive so I re-bought the tickets and I would say if you can see it on IMAX do it, if not it's still great it's fine but wow super great and I don't think what bothered me about how they treated him

[00:32:43] and I won't go into all of it because a lot of people haven't seen it but I don't see movies in theaters and I just don't last one was probably March of the Penguins I go to IMAX stuff but I'm not a movie person just in general

[00:32:59] I saw Jaws in 1977 and you watch it every five months I watch it every time it's on tv, after TNT I don't know I just wait for him to come on tv I don't really, not like my friend Dorf, he's a big movie

[00:33:13] he likes to go to movies almost once every two weeks and I'm like, that's funny I haven't been to a movie since 94 I have not seen the Barbie movie and I will not be seeing the movie and I don't have any nieces or nephews

[00:33:27] that are that little anymore that would want to go so I'm off the hook yeah, my friend Bronson saw it he loved it I mean I'd watch it on a plane just to see what it is

[00:33:39] but there's always going to be something I want to watch more on the plane because then I'm next to that that's going to say the 100 foot wave in Nazarene, Nazarene Portugal, I'm not going to watch that but here's what's crazy

[00:33:51] because I don't want to blow up an Eimer why everybody knows what happened and I like the guy who played Einstein whoever that was he was great he just seemed like Einstein because I've seen other Einstein's and I'm like they kind of always overdo it

[00:34:07] this guy didn't overdo it he was just a perfect little Einstein you know he everybody knows he made the atom bomb and then he changed his mind about it later and all of these government well back then they were just the McCarthy people all that zealots we're hollering

[00:34:29] screaming at him well now you changed your mind people have a right to change their minds like maybe he saw what happened after it actually exploded okay that was a little much I'm too good at science should he have had the responsibility at the time

[00:34:45] because the Germans were going to do it the Russians are going to do it it's just weird that you're supposed to be this one track mind from the day you're born to the day you're dead those people I would have said something but I feel like

[00:34:57] he was in so much trouble you didn't know what to say but here's what's crazy during the Oppenheimer before the movie which again this is how old I am I'm going to be at 7 meet my friend and we're old so we get there at 10 to 7 well nothing happens

[00:35:19] there's no one in there nobody nobody nobody after that I'm like this is my conspiracy brain I wonder if the studios are buying up all the tickets like they did for that Scientology movie and then nobody's really coming

[00:35:35] and then this will be great because I can sit anywhere I want instead of the kind of shitty ear seats I had to get oh no it's 7.25 they all start pouring in all the young people know none of this shit really starts till 7.30 I saw every preview

[00:35:51] but I like the previews I like to see what's coming and this is what's coming a new exorcist with Ellen Burston she's 90 years old and she looks beautiful she looks she's very pretty shout out I googled it yeah she's Michigan person after the first exorcist

[00:36:19] my parents told us we couldn't watch it and then they left and went out drinking somewhere I don't know where we were left on our own and I watched it and I started to shit out of myself so bad and I thought

[00:36:35] I was almost like bashing my head in the pillow going this is why I shouldn't disobey my parents this is why I shouldn't disobey my parents god damn it can't be god damn it can't be and I had an Ouija board

[00:36:47] which I wasn't sure my parents knew I had gotten from a friend for slumber parties and yeah we had an A frame house and I went to the balcony on top and I threw it and I watched it slide all the way down

[00:37:03] cause I couldn't put it in the trash so I was just hoping it would go in the woods well about a month later my dad goes you know I was down trying to move the boat and I found an Ouija board I'm like how that is strange wow

[00:37:19] I guess somebody got scared by the exorcist and tried to throw it on our property to this day they don't know that I did it but I wasn't asked I didn't lie I wasn't asked did you do that he just thought it was odd

[00:37:33] and I went yep sure is but that's how much the exorcist scared me and then I have rewatched it later in life and it still scares the shit out of me I can't so I'm not gonna see the next exorcist or the next one

[00:37:47] it's a series there's another one coming out in 2025 and she's in that one as well yeah it's amazing good for her the original came out in 1973 it's the first time in 50 for the first time since its debut 50 years ago the franchise next installment the exorcist believer

[00:38:09] yeah it's gonna come out in October and then my dad went to St. Louis U and one of the priests there was involved in the one that you see in the movie which by the way was a boy not a girl, the true story was from DC

[00:38:25] it was put on a train to go to St. Louis it all happened in St. Louis then my mom worked at the hospital where they kept the boy and the entire wing was closed off permanently wow so there's a lot of priests and nuns involved

[00:38:39] in all this and if they believe it I believe it you know it was so scary and then my dad said well didn't any of you guys that in college was the guy and he said yes what you saw happened

[00:38:57] he said some of it's exaggerated for dramatic purposes but for the most point yes and I yeah I just don't know if that many people involved would lie so anyway if you want to scare yourself children because one time a friend of mine told me

[00:39:13] he was a movie he was a distributor in LA and he said do you know the number one genre of money making I said I have no idea he said horror I said yes because guess who goes to the movie

[00:39:25] the children and they will pay to be scared I will not and I have jokes about that by act if you'd like to be scared come over here when I have a letter from the IRS that says immediate attention needed

[00:39:35] now do you want to open that before lunch and throw up or do you want to throw up after lunch um moving on to news this is so strange and I think somebody is going to pay way more than 50 grand quote ultra rare apple like the computer

[00:39:57] sneakers on sale for $50,000 now we're going to put it in the schnote so you can see the shoes they're white leather and then it says apple not very big writing on the side but it has the apple drawing of the apple and then it says

[00:40:13] apple so here's how these things came to be when you think of apple it's likely that first things in mind is a revolutionary tech belt but a pair of ultra rare is sold by 50 grand fetching a higher price tag than any other current apple product

[00:40:31] so they haven't been optioned off yet I don't think complete with rainbow apple logo on the tongue and the side white trainers were custom made for the companies employees at a one time giveaway at a national sales conference that's kind of cool in the mid 90s

[00:40:49] never reached the general public the particular pair of sneakers is one of the most obscure in existence saw the bees says and it's kept although the product although producing the sneakers is unusual for apple in 1986 a tech brand released a range of clothing and accessories

[00:41:03] dubbed the apple collection featuring mugs umbrellas keys bags and even a sale board emblazoned with the rainbow apple according to a catalog published this year the previous year 22,000 people bought apple shirts from the company they were known as white label products manufactured by third party companies such as

[00:41:25] lambie honda or brawn but sold by apple using its brand and logo these particular shoes are size 10 and a half they're new in their box and they come with a pair of red laces saw the bees said but they show sunsigns some signs of aging including

[00:41:41] yellowing around the mid-soles and glue as well as light marks on the toe boxes yeah the pair of sneakers is not the first vintage apple thing to be sold a first edition 2007 iPhone sold for more than $190,000 at auction last month far exceeding

[00:41:59] the estimate while a pair of old Birkenstock stand oh yeah we talked about Steve Jobs' Birkenstocks gross gross somebody paid $200,000 gross even if they found Jesus's sandals I don't want a man's stinky sandals in my house no no no no put them in a museum

[00:42:21] especially if they're Jesus's which way they may I don't know if you notice on the desk I have my shake of Jesus he dances while the desk move and Bucky is larger than Jesus and I feel tiny bit bad about that but right now Jesus is not making

[00:42:35] me brisket and Bucky is Bucky's I got a little matter of fact speaking of that Bucky I'm so proud of Bucky's because food and wine the fancy magazine yeah a termite sent this to me the brisket at this cat this is our headline

[00:42:57] the brisket at this gas station in Texas is probably better than the barbecue where you live they finally get a look at little recognition I told my friend Drew to go in there he was in Tennessee he didn't do it

[00:43:11] now while he had already driven by for some reason and then he didn't want to backtrack and I'm like it's worth backtracking if you're within 10 miles and you want a sandwich turn around yeah if you're a meat eater and then they have this giant article

[00:43:25] about them cooking it the barbecue bonafides of central Texas are well known and things have only gotten better here in recent years and the wave of new pitmasters seek to drive the time on our tradition forward it is noted by the people who chronically chronicle these things religiously

[00:43:39] it's a ridiculous time for Texas barbecue it always is every time I go to Texas it's a Mexican and barbecue are my two gotta get it while you're there but they did the whole it's too flowery language

[00:43:53] I don't care about food this much as far as describing at all we're so good if you find yourself on the open road in Texas look for a Buckeys the billboards will alert you they're everywhere go inside see for yourself

[00:44:05] brisket and sausage are just two reasons to make a Buckeys pilgrimage in fact the first time visitors might not even get as far as Barb I wonder if you can cater I wonder if you call ahead can you get like a family reunion or something yep

[00:44:19] as Wawa is and I like a Wawa to many fans on the east goes Buckeys is the destination a happy place a port in a storm for the traveler a place you stop to eat first open in 1982 we know all the history of this

[00:44:33] but shout out for them getting a shout out because they should cause people act like oh it's a gas station have you tried it that's all I want to say to people there are a million people in there nobody I don't have a lot of patience for lines

[00:44:49] nothing moves faster than that place there could be 50,000 people in there buying shit and you're only gonna wait for 5 minutes promise and the bathroom well I'm gonna talk about this thing too many on this broadcast the women's has green and red lights on top it's the most ingenious

[00:45:03] thing I've ever seen now we don't have to crawl around on a filthy floor looking for feet underneath stall doors it's so dumb it's 2023 America what are we doing let me go say something Buckeys is not just a gas station it's a lifestyle should be a bumper sticker

[00:45:24] Buckeys it's a lifestyle I'll give it to them for free if in one condition no I don't need free biscuit I'll pay for it but I want to have a beer with Buckey and I want to be in one commercial oh a commercial it could be local

[00:45:44] in Texas or Tennessee they have a new one in Missouri and a new one in Tennessee they should let me be the grand marshal I made that up I don't know I made the springfield Missouri one let's call Katie these are the kind of things

[00:46:00] normal people I have a publicist Katie and Rob and I think a lot of people call and say I'd like to be on Jimmy Fallon or whatever and I would like to be the grand party person at the gas station opening in springfield Missouri

[00:46:16] my only condition is I do not need pay or travel or anything but I do what I would like to have but when I ask for stupid shit like that I like that they take me seriously okay springfield Missouri now is Buckey the manager

[00:46:34] oh no no no no Buckey is the Jesus of Buckey Buckey's giant beaver I have his bobblehead right here I have his tea I have his onesie for Christmas I did get to meet him once but only once and I've been to many many many Buckeys

[00:46:54] that's so funny this is crazy you know I read headlines like this and I'm like yeah that sucks and then I open a seltzer and jump in a pool because what am I supposed to do about it it's been so hot for so many days in a row

[00:47:12] in Phoenix cactuses are dying somebody said at the United Nations we're not in global warming we're in global boiling then there's always cacti are so cool my old man bar friends are go- yeah I know Kathleen but what about when it gets super cold

[00:47:30] and I'm like okay the conversation is over because I don't understand science and I know more than that now do I know a lot more than that to make it clear to you about the the the the tarts temperature is rising and then I caught a crack

[00:47:46] and then it moves on yeah and then Phoenix some cactuses can't take the heat record high temperatures in Arizona combined with lack of seasonal monsoons I've seen a monsoon in Arizona and it is something to see yeah I've never seen anything like that in the Midwest ever

[00:48:06] it's something they've caused sagaro cactuses at the botanical gardens to become highly stressed there's pictures of it the whole middle part where it should be green and then it'll fall over they've been super concerned since 2020 when record temperatures cause stress in many of the sagaro

[00:48:28] I don't know if I'm saying that right saguaro she and her team have seen more cactuses die and these things are millions these are thousands of years old that's why you go to jail if you steal one in the desert

[00:48:39] yeah because one time my parents got a wild ass hair and they were driving around God knows where and they were like what if we just picked up a few of these cactuses and brought them back to Missouri

[00:48:49] A. they will die in Missouri unless you're going to bring them in the house and B. you're going to go to prison and your story in prison is going to sound real stupid when you're next to somebody who wore a wolf outfit

[00:49:00] and robbed banks to go to chief games and then you're going to have to say you were trying to steal a plant you're going to immediately not do well in prison but there are thousands of years old so you do you will go to jail for stealing them

[00:49:15] present day heat records are sending some of those previously affected cactuses over the edge causing them to lose limbs and even collapse I mean when it's too hot for cactuses it's bad right and then you know I have friends that will say

[00:49:30] well you know that's why you really should you know should make sure you recycle and it's too late for that I mean that should be done too I suppose but what I think the people do we need plastic water bottles some places may but does the average American

[00:49:46] no we didn't have them the entire time I grew up somehow I managed to get water in my mouth probably called a glass that's or a water fountain yeah God knows what we were drinking at Catholic school out of the war I'm fine I mean who knows

[00:50:04] cactuses carry a Wednesday night ended a record streak of 16 days above 90 in Phoenix oh now it's been over a hundred and ten for 30 days I already read that cactuses carry out essential functions at night that's when they open their stomata or pores

[00:50:20] and carry out a gas exchange in which they take carbon dioxide to use the photosynthesis during the day but because nights in Phoenix have recorded record high heat this suffocate and stresses suffocates and stresses out the cactuses which dehydrates them and makes them more susceptible to infection

[00:50:36] and insects I mean you know I'm just saying I don't know how you stop it but somebody way smarter than me probably should get on that I mean I'll be dead by the time it gets super weird but you know these is a nephew's

[00:50:58] well individually I think we've gone too far it needs to be a giant thing like people need if I don't know what the problem is but let's say it's plastic or emissions or whatever the hell it is it's not within the average man's control hey Fiji

[00:51:14] and I love Fiji no more with the plastic I don't know but I don't even want to get in these conversations because unless you're at a bar with friends they just get way out of hand and I don't know shit about science I'm just saying

[00:51:30] if cactuses are falling over we have trouble some sort of trouble I guess or maybe it doesn't matter maybe it doesn't matter at all if everything just dies like that well I think it would matter alright this is it this one

[00:51:48] I was very glad to read this story the aviation this is a heads up to everybody the aviation industry is short 32,000 pilots mechanics and air traffic controllers as Pete Buttigieg says his office is actively investigating airlines for quote unrealistic scheduling now I think um Pete

[00:52:15] this should have started two years ago right after COVID and just this is a heads up for everybody traveling and like even my friend lorraine was thinking about going to Las Vegas for fun from LA but she's like I don't know all I keep reading

[00:52:33] is all these planes are sitting on the tarmac because now there's Canadian smoke in Vegas it's also 105,000 degrees so planes in that kind of heat it's problematic to fly blah blah blah like we're actually having to think about that America's may face another decade of persistent flight cancellation

[00:52:51] and delays amid a desperate staffing crisis the industry is short about 32,000 pilots mechanics and air traffic controllers airlines have struggled to keep up with the post COVID travel search alright full stop before COVID we had basically enough now I understand some of the 60 something said we're retiring

[00:53:13] and maybe they took the early out and maybe they didn't have enough 20 somethings to cover the 60 somethings that's one reason I will buy but other than that I'm gonna go back to Henry Ford okay yeah well I feel this way I feel this way about everything

[00:53:31] home health care my fucking bar not enough employees not enough employees Henry Ford he was about going and was selling a thousand cards a day the Model T paying people like $2.60 a day well people kept quitting because the job is monotonous and boring

[00:53:53] and he wasn't fun to work for like no he wouldn't let people talk and yeah he's kind of mean but anyway he realized that somebody he was a numbers guy and somebody said this is how many people are quitting every day

[00:54:07] and then here's what we have to do to hire people here's the money you're losing because of the time you're losing because we don't have people on the line well Henry didn't like any of that so Henry goes fine $5 a day announce it we're gonna pay $5 a day

[00:54:21] 10,000 men showed up to take the gig pay people it's just not that difficult now I know the airlines you gotta train people like this is not just you could hire them tomorrow like to work on assembly line but still experts say the trend is likely to continue

[00:54:39] as it takes years to train airline professionals because pilots must retire by law at age 65 and air traffic controllers at 56 okay right but before covid we knew that then the US transportation nothing has changed except you got a shit ton of ppp money

[00:54:57] and you're not really telling me where it went now I sound like Snoop Dogg going where streaming money fuck us come on this is business bitches I don't know where the money's at but I ain't getting it

[00:55:09] he had a whole press conference the whole thing was so funny and he's right about everything he's saying I just like the way he says it because it's not corporate and there are all these corporate people sitting there he's like where the money at bitches

[00:55:21] I don't really know I guess I'll have to circle back on my email and ask my boss get a cloud of smoke Pete Boudajig says his office is now investigating airlines for unrealistic scheduling or listing more flights than carriers can safely accommodate yes

[00:55:37] you are and then the problem is if my flight gets canceled there are no more seats for days sometimes days on that airline you might luck out but it's also depending on money and understanding the system my parents are never going to understand that

[00:55:51] if you I mean my dad would know enough to go well can I go on a different airline they'll just go no we don't do that and then he'd walk away he would believe them which is bullshit but he's not going to get on an app

[00:56:01] on a phone like it's just it's cruel to the old people airlines had already been struggling to retain employees for years before covid pandemic hit but the problem became significantly worse in the aftermath it was fine before covid I flew every week I mean there were times

[00:56:17] weather sometimes I thought it was a little bullshitty but for the most part it's fine but when that pandemic hit the problem became significantly worse in the aftermath when the airlines drastically cut back their routes and laid off thousands of workers many of those who remain

[00:56:35] decided to seize the opportunity to take early retirement that's fine then there's going to be those people anyway then when worldwide travel resumed in 2022 and 2020 the airlines found themselves with out enough employees to meet the pent up demand the industry is now short ready for this 17,000 pilots

[00:56:53] and airlines can only train 1500 to 1800 pilots a year why why open another pilot school exactly is that what it's called pilot school fly fly time me fly high that would be my university me fly high training a pilot can take

[00:57:22] two years or longer with the cost of more than $100,000 well what were you going to do if COVID hadn't hit just go oh shit we forgot to send the people to the me fly high because of the man at the same time some current pilots will be

[00:57:38] forced to retire when they at the age of 65 because of the mandatory requirement aviation consultant Oliver so and so predicts the industry will be short 24,000 pilots by the year 2026 before the gap slowly closes well it's like in a time of war we push up production of planes

[00:58:00] and bombers like we need to push up production here get the children in school who wants to fly high who wants to go to me fly high our merch is great you're gonna love the sweatshirt me fly high I'm ready down right now or I fly high

[00:58:14] that's got a good double entendre right the big this they will also need 178,000 mechanics to meet the demand and more than 600,000 worldwide this is the big unsung shortage that nobody talks about said Kathleen bangs a spokeswoman for the flight track or flight aware most people don't

[00:58:36] understand about half of all airline maintenance is done overseas we outsource a lot of that maintenance I think it's gonna be challenging we have to figure out a way how to attract young people to become mechanics maa-ney why is this so hard for corporate America to understand

[00:58:55] do you know what's attractive? maa-ney if you tell a kid you can make 150 grand a year starting plus benefits fuck I might go back and do it you can't be a pilot no a mechanic you don't know that well well I don't see that good either

[00:59:21] that probably wouldn't be helpful I'm not great Kathleen has that whole thing been tightened up I don't know I can't find my reading glasses it's fine just take it for a spin proper training and certification for airline mechanics can take 18 months or two

[00:59:41] years to complete there will be a shortage of 18,000 mechanic in coming years they're also facing a shortage of 3000 fully certified air traffic controllers that are legally required to retire at the age of 56 I mean but this was going to happen anyway yes

[01:00:01] the staffing shortages have already caused my major oh my god the other day at LaGuardia they had 61 airplanes on the tarmac and so they waited some guy wrote a whole thing is all true he was on southwest it took two hours

[01:00:13] to back out to get in the line of 61 yeah I would have to eat like somebody's whole bag of pot I don't have I would lose my shit I get too wildly like 61 yeah they did southwest was nice though and said this is what's coming up

[01:00:33] so if you want to get off this plane get off of it however there are no more flights tonight you will have to figure out where to spend the night in New York I would have immediately been like

[01:00:43] I'm out I don't even care if I have to sleep in the airport on the floor I'm not sitting out there and then the guy was in line and the pilot's timed out I know uh it just goes on

[01:01:03] they're basically saying it's all going to be dog shit but this is where the government needs to say to the CEOs who are making obscene amounts of money I know the stock has to stay valuable but you're going to need to spend some money

[01:01:19] and you're going to need to spend it quickly and you're going to need to pay the children to be pilots and aircraft control and um mechanics pay a decent wage people will come not me because I can't do any of that with reading glasses

[01:01:33] and I have contacts on top of that so none of it's a good thing not really not for that kind of work um can we talk about as the Midwest people will say it too pack too pack too pack shaker I know it's too pack but too pack

[01:01:53] there was a great show ever on Netflix I don't remember what was it on who about who killed oh Wu Tang was good yeah um this is going to catch up because it's amazing to me this happened in 1996 and we're now well after you watch

[01:02:13] the show you'll be amazed but this is just an aside a golden diamond and ruby ring designed and worn by rap legend just sold days before he was shot for a record one million dollars at auction they think Drake bought it yeah I don't know

[01:02:33] not sure on that the New York Brown rapper wore the ring during his final public appearance at the MTV music video awards September 4th 1996 nine days before he was shot dead by an unidentified assailant in a drive by shooting in Las Vegas I was there that week really?

[01:02:51] working at um I think it was catcherizing star one of the clubs I don't know um yeah but it was it made I mean I don't want to see anybody shot or killed but you talk about commotion excitement I don't know I've never seen it

[01:03:09] pandemonium would be a great word I've never seen anything like it and the auction comes as cops say in the U.S. where they are trying to kill us and say we're going to do something we're going to do something and they say they will now conduct

[01:03:27] forensic tests on several 40 caliber bullets found at the home found at former Cripps gang member Keefy Dee's home during a raid last week Keefy Dee now when I watched the show about who killed him I thought it was Keefy Dee

[01:03:43] by Dwayne Davis, also known as KeefeD. That's his real name. Wife Paula Clemens was rated on Monday last week as a part of an investigation into Shakur's murder. So they're still on it. But after you saw the movie, I saw the movie and I'm just a lady

[01:04:00] who tells jokes and I was like, well how come you aren't looking more into... Why'd we stop? I don't get it. In 2018 while filming the 10-part Netflix docuseries, that's what I watched, unsolved the two-pack and biggie murders.

[01:04:16] KeefeD claimed it was his own nephew, Orlando Baby Lane Anderson who pulled the trigger and said he was in the car with him at the time. And then it's all about the ring being sold. So they're going after KeefeD. If you've never seen the show, it's fascinating.

[01:04:37] A lot of stuff I didn't know because I didn't keep up with rap. I know that's shocking. Well, some... I liked Biggie's small. I liked his. I'm coming out when he took the Diana Ross song.

[01:04:49] Yeah, that was good. I like that. And then it goes into there's a thousand theories but we're reopening it. It's not been closed. I shouldn't say reopening. That is incorrect. We are opening it. We are now searching KeefeD's house why that man would have bullets left over

[01:05:12] from the shooting is beyond me. I mean rule number one, give her the evidence. We'll see though and you termites will be updated as to what was the result of the testing of those bullets. Yeah. Here's a little bullshit. Yeah, and then we'll end with ghost lighting.

[01:05:37] Listen to this. But this is what I always say I want and then when somebody offers it to me, I'm like oh that's a big bullshit. Cleopatra's law gloss tomb has never been found. The new

[01:05:48] Lux edition expedition wants you to help find it in Egypt. What? I would like to do this but I don't trust now that you're charging me. I don't trust you. Hang on panels. Let them have a chance to

[01:06:05] try to I'm gonna try to pitch it like I'm a travel agent. Okay, the lumineer is giving history buffs a chance to search for the final resting place of Egypt's most famous ruler and

[01:06:16] her in truly luxurious fashion. The travel company which launched last year has unveiled a new experience that will give travelers an opportunity to help dig for the law gloss tomb of Cleopatra. This is almost like we talk about billionaires doing stupid shit, you know, and going into submersive

[01:06:35] being shot into space because you're so bored and you want to be cool at your cocktail party. You know what? If you want to be cool, bring a cobra. That'll freak people out. You don't

[01:06:44] need to go into space. Get a cobra and a cage and go look I own a cobra. I'm not saying to really do that but this also was probably the funniest meeting ever. Okay, how do we trick rich people?

[01:06:57] I know they're bored with regular vacations. Let's tell them that they can hunt for Cleopatra's The trip also includes informative side. I mean, how would you let's just say like I'd

[01:07:11] say I had the money for this. Just because you have the money doesn't mean you should be allowed to do something like just because I come up with 60 grand doesn't mean I should be allowed to climb

[01:07:20] on Everest. No, I'm going to endanger other people. A sharp is going to have to drag my ass up or down dead on one side alive on the other but not for long because I have her

[01:07:29] nod syndrome on my limbs will go numb. I can't feel nothing. It'd be a disaster. But also just because you have the money, should they allow us idiots to just be randomly digging around in Egypt or did they pick a site where they know there's nothing there?

[01:07:45] And they give me a pick, a hat because it's 120 degrees and just go have at it Kathleen. Right. The trip includes informative side expeditions and stays in two five star hotels. The adventure begins in Cairo. You'll first head to Egypt's largest archaeological site,

[01:08:08] Sakara to get a behind the scenes look at a slew of new discoveries. Then beeline it, they actually wrote that then beeline it to the hotly anticipated grand Egyptian museum to preview before it opens. Wow. There will also be an Egyptologist on hand throughout the museum

[01:08:24] tour and the rest of the journey to answer any of your questions. Oh, well that doesn't that doesn't cost that much on their part so far these people are getting away with a lot.

[01:08:34] You'll get to go out through a labyrinth of ancient passageways at the great temple of Magna something I don't know. Exactly. But also contribute to the search by partaking in live excavation and restoration work with Martinez and her crew. Wow. It's understood Cleopatra

[01:08:52] died by suicide on either August 10th or 12 BC possibly by means of a poisonous Egyptian serpent right the ass but the final ass after potentially making a miraculous discovery in the tunnels travels travelers will take an exclusive tour of the library of Alexandria with an activist

[01:09:09] as for accommodations jet centers will be treated to two nights at the four seasons. Oh, I do love a four season. Okay, maybe I want to go now. The four seasons in Cairo at Nile Plaza

[01:09:21] and three nights at the four oh another four season. Okay, I'm changing my mind. I'm in where's my hat in my pick axe pick. I got both you get to stay at four seasons in Cairo and the

[01:09:36] four seasons in Alexandria and San Stefano both swanky resorts are situated by the water well and will have pools that would be particularly soothing after a day of digging. Do you know how long I would last with my little pick probably 10 15 minutes and I'd go you know

[01:09:55] I'm sure somebody's better at this than me. I'm just gonna go back to the four seasons. Thank you for showing me where it might be. If anybody finds it my numbers three two three

[01:10:05] text me every five seconds a day of digging. Wow all up the six day trip will set you back $21,700 per person. The fee includes all local transfers and meals. The best time to

[01:10:22] travel is between September and May. You may also customize your itinerary with visits to the great pyramid of Gaza of Giza, the great Sphinx or the Oracle Temple of Amun for instance. This is the first extravagant experience the luminaries offer back in January the industry newcomer

[01:10:37] announced plans for the first luxury dinosaur expeditions expedition. Can we hunt for the lost city of Atlantis next? I'm gonna do a follow-up on this and see if anybody goes. I'm gonna keep googling the luminaire travel thing. Are you really

[01:11:09] you know if you're going to a four seasons at night? I think they probably just found an area of the desert that looked fine you know like and you just put them over there and tell them

[01:11:19] there's a temple. How long? I'm mining for gold I know it's all fake shit but also what if I how I mean to pick out a hole just as deep would take me a day so unless it's already started I'm not gonna find it no

[01:11:40] you'll have lots of facebook pictures right the facebook pictures that's exactly what I need maybe I'll take baby cat with me this is really for the children it's a little story though that if you're older you'd be

[01:11:59] glad you're not dating in this world anymore yes um have you ever heard of the term ghost lighting no me neither it's a it's a sadistic new dating trend so for you old people out there

[01:12:17] listing ghosting means someone just actually disappears and never texts you back and never calls you back and you don't know why it didn't go well right um ghost lighting however makes the

[01:12:28] victim feel as if it was their fault but but well ghost lighting so that's what wait what's the bad one what's the first one I'm thinking ghost right this is ghost lighting instead of gas lighting

[01:12:43] gas lighting means I just tell you everything you say isn't true and then you feel crazy which you know there's plenty of people that are good at that um ghost lighting also makes

[01:12:54] the victim feel as if there was fault ghost ghost lighting is not to be confused with getting zombied which is like ghosting but the match circles back for another taste after a few months

[01:13:06] so getting zombied right in colder months the shady practice is also known as winter coating as in when a former flame returns just in time for cuffing season only to shed you like a bad habit

[01:13:21] once spring hits oh my god oh god now it's seasonal abuse yes the dating trends trends however bear a major difference from the new more dreaded ghost slider it's all about the manipulation tactics people unlucky enough to snag a ghost slider often experience what they did believe

[01:13:38] a great relationship at first the gas lighters you don't think it's great at first you know it's fucked up but there's something about him you like so you keep going right um but this

[01:13:47] one you think they're awesome it's also called narcissism i know i know the children like to rename things oh my god you think that's right instead of just going oh wow you were you you you fell

[01:13:59] in love with a narcissist well it happens they're very charming in the beginning um they begin to love bomb emotional manipulation and defined by excessive affection or gift giving followed by ghosting and reappearing as if nothing happened stop it the ghost letter won't take responsibility

[01:14:17] for the initial ghosting which ultimately can leave people feeling anxious depressed or insecure they might even develop trust issues or self-doubt this makes the recipient feel inadequate less than or not enough adding that being ghost lit the person on the receiving end is left questioning

[01:14:32] everything they did worst case scenario it could impact the person's future relationship staring fear of being ghost lit once again and again becoming emotionally guarded people who ghost light lack of emotional intelligence especially empathy hello narcissism exactly right they're

[01:14:49] more concerned with preserving their emotional energy than being responsible for any angst they've caused while ghost letters are like uh conflict adverse and do not want to address their behavior sociologist and intimacy code intimacy coach gen i know there's a coach for everything now

[01:15:10] labeling someone's behaviors ghosting might make them feel defensive but i think if you liked the person and felt like they ghosted you and then they resurface it's okay to say hey what happened

[01:15:20] well duh this didn't work out i was enjoying high interactions and you disappeared for a while you might actually get a more honest response if you did it like that they say ghost lighting is

[01:15:35] merely the latest trend dating trend to hit the market as singletons devise more more ways to fumble potential love interest fizzling which emerged earlier this year totally missed it on this podcast never heard of fizzling is the cruel or crueler cousin of age old ghosting

[01:15:55] that allows the flame to slowly well fizzle rather than simply cut off cold turkey oh the children they're gonna do what they do so it's so for the younger people i would say if somebody seems

[01:16:12] too good to be true out of the gate they are don't do it what's better is you meet somebody and you're like yeah they're pretty fine yeah go with that one go with that one um i'm gonna have a good
