Episode 145: The Lucha Libre Serial Killer, Waving Chinese Sun Bears, & the Largest Search for the Loch Ness Monster

[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.

[00:00:17] Episode 145, who's excited about that? You know what's even more exciting is right now I'm under tornado warning. What does that mean to non-Midwest termites or southern termites?

[00:00:36] It means conditions are favorable to create a tornado warning. No, sorry I'm under watch. Warning means one has been seen or spotted near you. If in the event that happens, I will be getting Jameson and a pillow and leaving this podcast and hiding in a hallway because dipshit here forgot to build a basement.

[00:01:02] I've been looking into those shelters online though. I like the ones that are underground but I think my brother's right by the time a tornado hit and shit you're not gonna run outside. No, you'd have to get in there way beforehand or you could put one in your garage but it takes up a car slip.

[00:01:20] I don't need one that big. No. I'm gonna talk to my friend Duffy, he'll know what to do. I'm gonna buy you a hockey helmet. Well a hockey helmet would help maybe for flying objects as Ron would say it's not a matter of, what was his joke about tornado warning? That the wind is blowing.

[00:01:38] It's not a matter of that the wind is blowing. It's a matter of what the wind is blowing because when you get hit by a BMW.

[00:01:50] Anyway, moving on. What are we drinking? A little Golden State Cider. I'm not a huge cider person but every once in a while I'll get into one. This one is from Sonoma County, California. Yeah it is fancy and in Sonoma most of the people are doing wine so good for these people for being smart enough to go you know what?

[00:02:11] Fuck it let's don't do wine and go do wine season by the way. Yeah I didn't know that was in May, that's a thing. I didn't know that. That's when I tried to get home after the medical emergency and the family and then there are no flights out and they're like oh well it's wine season.

[00:02:30] What? It doesn't matter where I go there's some bullshit of it. Well, welcome to Omaha. It's the world this little league series like there's always a thing anyway no complaining.

[00:02:43] That's what we're drinking. What are we going to taste? Well this just looked interesting. This is from Tapathis in Texas. It's called Melinda's Pizza Hot Sauce. You're supposed to put it on the pizza while you can put it on after you've made your pizza.

[00:02:56] Delicious. Yeah I don't know or you could cook with it I suppose. Oh my god. Yeah well it's crushed red pepper. Yes it's very good but she's only got two flames out of five. No that's Texas talking right there. No Texas that's three flames out of five.

[00:03:20] Yeah I do like it though now that I've had a bite I want another bite. These, I eat these all the time and I've never done them on the podcast but they're really good for the road too. Crunchmaster, you guys like Crunchmaster?

[00:03:34] Yeah. The avocado toast one? I don't want to sound like one of those avocado toast people you know the people. No I eat white bread for Christ's sake. I'm so far away but these crackers are delicious and they're a wonderful little road thing because they can go right next to my Haribu bears in my giant carry on purse.

[00:04:01] And last but not least we're going to try some Pringles enchilada flavor. Enchilada adobada. I can't read it. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Enchilada adobada. I like Pringles but no.

[00:04:27] They don't really taste like anything they taste like light barbecue but why fuck with the regular Pringles or just do a eat a barbecue one. Dump it in the pizza sauce.

[00:04:35] I will not dump it in the pizza sauce. Uh-uh. Well that's fine but this is where before you make a can for it and get the art department involved and the marketing people, well wasn't this at a random taste test on Friday in the office? Eat that.

[00:04:52] Do you think we should make more because a resounding answer probably would have been nah. Figure out a different flavor. I don't know. I mean then I like Pringles but it's Mitch Hedberg's old joke. Do you think Pringles original intention was to make Dennis Bowles?

[00:05:12] Oh Mitch Hedberg. Another comic that is now longer with us. Sad times. Now here's something to turn my tent and all of it makes me laugh and there's just one this week. This is from Kansas City, Missouri. Monica.

[00:05:29] She said greetings. In May I retired from Hallmark Cards after 35 years. I tried to get a job with Hallmark Cards out of college. Yeah I sent them a resume and stuff. Nothing. I love nothing. I think it was St. Louis hate. It's Kansas City to shit and I'll say it was.

[00:05:46] Like your cardinals. But I mean, yeah that's right you and your cardinals. You and your fancy hockey team. This lady retired after 35 years. Good for her. We're called Hallmarkers which many people crack up what we are. They crack up it.

[00:06:06] Great job. Great company. Great products. That's great to hear that somebody liked where they worked for 35 years. Yeah. It changed a lot over the 35 years especially rapidly in the past decade. It's still a great company. That's a great endorsement. Yeah.

[00:06:22] A lot of people don't know Hallmark is based. She loves a pubcast. Number one thing from the pandemic. Work from home is number two. Oh no I think work from home should be above me. Absolutely. Work from home. Ask your pets.

[00:06:34] They're going to vote for work from home not for me. She likes it and then she sent. This is she said I may have two boxes came. I just have a few things but it's all so and I can I'm going to give it to my sister and stuff too but this so this is like a sweatshirt deal and it's got my Hallmark movie.

[00:06:57] Watching a hoodie. I've never seen the hoodie. How great is that? Yeah and then a whole set of pajamas that Hallmark movie. I know I don't want to show everything because I'm going to give some of it away for Christmas presents to my mom and my sister.

[00:07:12] They don't listen to this anyway. Then she said this is hilarious Hallmark Christmas bingo. So it's a it's a real bingo card where you're watching your Hallmark movies if that's what you're into. I do watch them.

[00:07:25] And then on your bingo card it's like ornament rip wrapping gift mistletoe scarf and hat kissing not on the not on the second Hallmark Hallmark mysteries and movies or whatever. Yeah you can do murders. Yeah that's it's a it's a Christmas murder.

[00:07:42] Come on. See why don't they have that category for me. They should have a whole Christmas Hallmark murders and we could do people who got murdered at Christmas time.

[00:07:53] It's so funny though and there's a lot of the cards. I'm very excited. It's quite a ways away. Then she sent me some free cards just random cards which by the way.

[00:08:03] Greeting cards are expensive and I always think they'll fade out. They're not fading out. No no I keep thinking with you know texting and email and all that. Well I mean you just text happy birthday.

[00:08:16] Do you actually still go get a card. I mean on our family thread if it's somebody's birthday 27 people send emojis of things blowing up happy birthday. I don't think you get cards for the kids but they're hanging tough and they're not cheap.

[00:08:30] A greeting card every time you pick up a card like a Walgreens or CVS and then I go to check out. I'm like what do you mean I owe you $74. Well ma'am you have this and this and your greeting cards. I'm like oh right I forgot.

[00:08:44] I forgot. Anyway thank you Monica that made me laugh. So many things this week. Update. Oh wait my Queen news. Shit I didn't print it out. Well I know it by heart. I thought I printed it out.

[00:09:02] Tete. She's the only one I have news about everybody else to be extremely quiet but she in at Levi's at Levi's stadium in Santa Clara which is by San Francisco. She dropped off a shit ton of money to the food bank they won't say how much but it was enough to feed like 500,000 people.

[00:09:26] It's just crazy great and her total in bonuses to truck drivers dancers everybody included was 55 million. I would love to see the look on my account in space if I was like hey guy tip 55 million.

[00:09:39] Can I do that? Like cause I'm gonna do it. So how are you gonna figure out how this is gonna work tax wise just watch Sherry's head blow up. Well Kathleen I don't know about all that. I mean that's a lot of money you thought through all this. Yep I have. I'm gonna make a billion so I'm gonna tip 55 million.

[00:09:58] Exactly. I haven't really done what numbers quite that large all have to actually sit down and concentrate paddles. The first tip out. Yes. Update. I have no other Queen news share very quiet. Stevie's out on the road doing a thing with Billy Joel. Stevie alone is better.

[00:10:23] Yes. I don't need him mad line and after her. I don't even think it's right with the universe. Just saying. Bad Bath and Beyond. Two of the super fans my friends Bob and Clark. I'm sure they're aware it's back. So over stock over stock bottom but now they're online.

[00:10:46] Over stock is visually relaunched. Bad Bath and Beyond domain to online Tuesday in the US after acquiring the bankrupt retails change intellectual property assets for 21 million. It's pretty cheap. Yeah.

[00:10:58] They said in late the online real retailer overstock said in late June that it was dumping its name online it will become bad Bath and Beyond which declared bankruptcy earlier this year as we all know if you listen to the name change.

[00:11:12] The name change was made in Canada on June 29th but at the time the mid Vale Utah company didn't specify a US relaunch.

[00:11:21] They said it went off in Canada without a hitch. Everything's fine and they've added 600,000 bed Bath and Beyond items since it's bid for the retailer became public last month. I'm going to have to go online and look at it because I think this is going to be very an overwhelming website.

[00:11:39] I don't know how many coffee pots I can go through. It's like when you go on Wayfair and you type in rug. Oh fuck. 20,000 and then people are yelling at me don't buy from them they're non union. I don't know anything about all that but I didn't buy a rug from Wayfair because I can't.

[00:11:54] Blue rug. Blue rug doesn't matter. Oh we have 7000 of those. Would you like to see 585 a page? It's too hard. Too hard. Too hard. Too hard.

[00:12:09] So good news for you Bed Bath and Beyond fans. A little bit of update. Oregon finally they did it. You can pump your own gas. There's a lot of people who are confused and they have to go get a how to guide.

[00:12:23] I'm serious. And station attendance union slams the change as a blatant cash grab. How long do you want to live in 1930s? Come on.

[00:12:35] No it's the you're the only one besides New Jersey left. And I think termites that live in other states besides New Jersey and Oregon wouldn't even believe that this still is happening in two states.

[00:12:46] The motorists in Oregon are expressing excitement and confusion after 72 year ban on surf surf gasoline pumps that was lifted on Friday across the Beaver state. Drivers I'm going to have to, I'm going to make Michael's and Tommy go to a gas station somewhere.

[00:13:04] Just sit there. Yeah just sit there and see what happens. He's got a video of the whole thing though for me. Drivers took to social media to boast of pumping their own gas while local news outlets published step by step instructions to help bewildered first divers.

[00:13:17] Wow. How did you don't you guys ever leave your states? I mean if you live in New Jersey and you have a car and you live in Oregon, have you never gone outside of your state?

[00:13:27] It's like my mom would always go, I never even left the state of Missouri until I was 21. Well, Illinois is a mile that way. That's on you mom. You could have walked across that goddamn bridge. Boom you would have been in Illinois.

[00:13:41] I think it's a lack of giving a shit so don't brag like I was so poor I never got to leave Missouri. How about lazy mom? That's just lazy.

[00:13:49] But really I don't understand how they didn't ever encounter this somewhere else and then learn how New Jersey is the only one left. Wow. Now for the mom. A few countries also ban it, pumping your own South Africa. Attendants offer to check fluid levels and check the windshield.

[00:14:09] And expect to be tipped. Well my dad used to tip the guy if he did the oil and all that. He tipped five bucks. I don't know, the 70s? The 70s? A whole decade.

[00:14:24] Yeah. One lady couldn't figure out which lane to pull in. She wanted to try to try to do her own but it was just fucking confusing. Where's the manual? God damn it, there's two aisles. Which one am I supposed to go in?

[00:14:42] That's like when my sister in Jeff City, Missouri they got a roundabout. It took three days of the newspaper putting it on the front. This is how a circle works. Oh my God, they would pull out and then stop. I should have gone up there.

[00:15:03] It's when the kids were little though, it was a while ago. Just to show, I mean cluster fuck, you're going to cause way more accidents. Will traffic speed up? In theory if people do it. But to pull out and then my mom would go, what's happening?

[00:15:20] And just throw on the brakes. Well we're going to get rear-ended. That's what's happening. Yeah so good for you Oregon. It just makes me laugh that people are like, yeah I don't know about all this me doing this myself.

[00:15:33] They're not asking you to change your carburetor. They're just saying, here you go if you want to pump your own gas. Update! This is my friend Mandy Matney's territory really. But I did do the poor man's version of the Alex Murdoch trial on here.

[00:15:55] Well I just kept up with the headlines but his accomplice is going to prison for seven years. He was the lawyer that helped him set up the accounts that were bullshit accounts for the insurance money and then Alex would rape the accounts.

[00:16:08] And they're saying this guy, he knew it. Then he'd say well I don't know what he was taking the money for. I didn't know, I just set up the things and bullshit. He's been in prison for seven years. Traitor update! This hits close to home.

[00:16:25] Cardinal Superfan, the Rally Runner is charged by the feds. The Rally Runner? Yes, I'm going to tell you. The Rally Runner dresses in all red. A Cardinal baseball hat and he runs around the stadium.

[00:16:43] He jogs around Bush Stadium particularly in 2013 during Game 5 of the National League Championship between the Cardinals and the Dodgers. I believe my running strengthens his spirits for the Cardinals to get energy for a win before the Redbirds dropped. We lost. It didn't work.

[00:17:00] He's our Rally Runner. We also have a Rally Squirrel, which I love. What's going on in Missouri with the bank rubber? We have a lot of weird people. There's no denying it. It's never boring though.

[00:17:14] He was charged, Federal Authority has charged a Cardinal Superfan known as Rally Runner this week for being on the front lines of the mob that stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2020.

[00:17:24] You know, and there's people out there. I won't mention any names saying that January 6 was all fake and Antifa and it was all not what we think it was. I just do not understand. Oh yeah, right. An inside jump. I don't even understand politics aside.

[00:17:43] I don't understand why people can't understand that every now and then a bunch of rednecks get together and do something terribly stupid. I rewind Civil War.

[00:17:58] Fuck them. Really? You guys are going to go up the industrial complex of the Northeast and you're sitting there in Alabama going we can do it. No, you can't and you won't and you didn't. It's not that hard for me to go, yeah okay, I could see that.

[00:18:14] No, do I need to think there's some go on the internet and find conspiracy theories? No, I think we're hoping that a conspiracy is other than what we have. Just rednecks that got flag poles and God knows what we're going in.

[00:18:31] Not everybody was a redneck but there's a lot in charge. Daniel Donnelly he's facing five federal charges including impeding or disrupting official government functions and obstructing the US Capitol.

[00:18:44] Court documents say he donned his red signature face paint and kept a Keep America Great hat as he held a riot shield and led thousands of, oh he led them towards the building. He painted his face red and jogged around Bush Stadium. That was his thing.

[00:19:02] Yeah I don't remember him and I'm a card knows everything. I know usually what's going on there. On January 6th when writers broke into the Capitol in attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election, Donnelly posted a video on Facebook. Now here's where you're getting your new billion.

[00:19:20] That's where you're getting your redneck dumbass side on. I'm up put it on the Facebook right now. I want to see how many likes I get by midnight. He said he was trying to that cause violence but he was trying to get as far as he could.

[00:19:33] I got further than anyone he said. I literally got further than anyone. I helped us get that far. Do you not think this is breaking an internet ring? I mean I don't care if it's someone's home or a federal building or an art museum.

[00:19:46] We never seen him on any video. I've never seen this guy on anything. He's a simmer down. Oh my god he legally changed his name to Rally Runner. In DMV records. He helped the crowd pass a letter to the entrance of the tunnel that led to the Capitol.

[00:20:03] That was my other thing too. This is why you knew you got some super dumbasses out there on January 6th. My favorite part of the whole day. And I remember being home I remember where I was standing behind the couch while it was on going holy shit.

[00:20:17] I called my friend Chuck. He was in California and I didn't know if he'd be awake yet. I'm like get up. Rednecks are going haywire and they're going in to get Nancy. And whomever else they can get. And they ain't kidding.

[00:20:30] But with a bunch of them we're scaling the walls and there were two perfectly good gigantic staircases empty. There's no reason for the drama. Come on Junior what you fucking doing? Why are you scaling a wall like Spider-Man when we could just walk up?

[00:20:47] If that was an inside job they got some of the dumbest fuckers ever to be quote inside. Sorry I'm cussing too much today. I don't even know why.

[00:21:00] He was holding up a riot shield as members of the crowd sprayed chemical irritants items and screamed at law enforcement officers. Yeah well it's like pepper spray and stuff. Yeah. He put his fist up in the arm when leaving a period to encourage their group blah blah blah.

[00:21:18] Well we're going to keep up and see how much trouble the rally runner gets in. We don't, I don't know. He is one of roughly half dozen people from the St. Louis region and more than a thousand nationwide. Oh so half dozen in St. Louis.

[00:21:30] Nashville's got a few more though. Let's just get down to it. Yeah. So there's a little update. I did not know we had a rally runner. He wasn't that good because everybody knows the rally squirrel. Right. And he never does. No he didn't do shit.

[00:21:48] Okay that's all our updates. What are we watching? Well this was a very strange thing. But I do think it's worth it if you like crime stuff. Yeah. I've also gone back and watched a lot of Boardwalk Empire because I started to watch it.

[00:22:09] And then I don't remember. I just got busy or I don't know maybe they took too long between seasons sometimes when they do that and lose track of what they do. So that's taken up a lot of time. But this is on I think it was on Netflix.

[00:22:24] Yeah. It's a documentary called The Lady of Silence. La Dama di Silenzio. But check this out. So in 1998 when a rash of killing seemed to be targeting Mexico's city's elderly women many of whom were grannies residents were up in arms.

[00:22:42] The mysterious murderer was a shadowy figure who had become known as the old lady killer. In the end the executioner executioner and I'm not blowing any.

[00:22:51] I'm not ruining the story for you if you want to go watch this because you're going to find out in the first five seconds what this is all about. This lady was a wrestling fanatic with broad shoulders and powerful hands was not who anyone imagined.

[00:23:03] So I'm not going to tell you everything in here because it's worth it. But when they were looking for who was the killer they just rounded up cross-dressing prostitutes and men. Because they thought it might be a guy.

[00:23:18] So a bunch of them one lady has been in prison. It's not funny but she's like you know look I did a lot of shit but I didn't do that and I don't know why I'm still in prison over after because they just decided she did it.

[00:23:35] Yeah and they made her go in front of the way to see like there's so many interviews with the Mexican police and then the Mexican media you think our media can be bad which it can be theirs.

[00:23:44] They made this lady stand in front of the cameras and take questions. They made her hold a wig for some bizarre reason. She's holding a female wig and then they just made her answer questions about how she killed all these people and she's like I didn't.

[00:24:00] I did not and she didn't but they you know people always say oh innocent. But the one who did it she was so upset with Lucha Libra which is the Mexican wrestling with the crazy outfits and the crazy mask which I love it.

[00:24:16] She had a whole outfit, she had a whole personality, she hung out with the other wrestlers like they didn't even think that was weird. I would have been like okay if she's not really a wrestler it's very weird but she's like the biggest female serial killer in ever.

[00:24:32] She had a wrestling outfit? She had a whole outfit yeah and it said the Dama de Silencio on the back, the lady of silence. She had key chains made up, she had merch.

[00:24:44] The whole thing is crazy and she's a strong lady I mean she's big and strong and wide shoulders and stuff and she just murdered all these old ladies and took their stuff. I think she probably she said she only killed one. Well there's like 17. Just one.

[00:25:02] There's a lot. I think she's probably the most prolific she should take the mantle on and then write a book or something because there's more than any other female serial killer I'm aware of. You know my thoughts on that. Death penalty?

[00:25:16] Mexico no they just put her in prison for life. Yeah one guy walked in on her that's how they caught her. Killing someone? She'd already done it but the windows and doors were open and it was his friend.

[00:25:28] Yeah and then but she was just standing there but then what do you do I'd be like fuck I would run. No she was not dressed in her costume she had a red like blazer on and just looked like a normal older lady.

[00:25:43] The whole thing it's something to watch just saying. Netflix. Holy shit they found it. This is awesome. An 1800 year old Medusa mosaic was discovered in the remains of a lavish Roman era house in western Spain. There's a picture of it we'll put it in the schnotes.

[00:26:05] The Medusa head in the middle of just the tile the mosaic is fantastic but the Medusa head in the middle is just the best. It's just amazing to me we're still finding these things. Drought.

[00:26:19] Yeah the mosaic found at the it's an archaeological site in western Spain depicts Medusa at the center of a pattern octagon meant to represent the aegeus of Athena or shield or skin that held Medusa's severed head after the Greek hero. Hero.

[00:26:38] Pursuces beheaded the group in the mosaic Medusa surrounded by mass geometric patterns and wildlife including fish and further cover a colorful peacocks that represent the four seasons. Yeah everybody thinks of Medusa with snakes in her hair.

[00:26:53] But there's other she doesn't have it in her head this year this time she's done always have snakes in her hair. Yeah. So go look at a picture of that online super cool. The archaeologists have also uncovered a spectacular Samson mosaic in Galilee.

[00:27:10] Where did the snakes go from her head when she doesn't have her snakes on? I guess she takes them off her head. Put some back in their terrarium aquarium a terrarium pot probably one of those big old pots like a cobra pot. I mean it was D knows.

[00:27:32] An archaeological dig led by the University of Northern California North North Carolina professor Jody Magnus has uncovered a spectacular mosaic in an ancient synagogue that predicts the legendary warrior Samson who's uncut hair and doubt him with Super strength. Yeah it's kind it's a very courting good.

[00:27:57] It's a crazy thing like I can't believe these things have been covered up forever. According to the well-known biblical story. Catholics never heard of this. This is news to breaking news in a story.

[00:28:10] The well-known biblical story in the book of judges as a Catholic I seriously have never heard of the book of judges. I believe it. I guess I mean I've heard of like. Well it doesn't matter what I've heard of. Really relevant.

[00:28:24] Samson's love Delilah tricks him into revealing the source of his strength on the third attempt as he sleeps she cuts his hair so he will lose his power. The Nazarite hero is soon captured enslaved and blinded by the Philistines I've heard of the Philistines.

[00:28:37] And they were always it was always according to the Philistines and I'm like who are these people that think they have so much knowledge. These are the thoughts and sit in a pew at a Catholic church I'm not supposed to be thinking them.

[00:28:48] No I can't into the Philistines. I guess they were led by a group guy named Phil. Phyllis. Phyllis right Phyllis deeds yeah it's Phyllis Dillers fans she should have called her fans Phyllis deeds that'd be so funny.

[00:29:03] In the end God Gramps Samson the return of his strength and he destroys the Philistine temple of the God. Daggon at Gaza judges and then it tells you where to find it. Yeah one more thing of holy shit they found it. Holy shit they found it.

[00:29:19] It's a big week. Yeah because well no I love the Medusa thing. That's kind of shit I could say if that was at auction. I could see buying that.

[00:29:31] I still think it should be in a museum but if I was a selfish little piglet that's something I would buy you know instead of Steve Jobs is gross Birkenstocks. Serbian coal miners uncover a Roman ship. How do you think that lunch break was that day?

[00:29:47] God archaeologists in Serbia painstakingly brushing sand and soil off the ancient woodwork of a Roman ship discovered by miners in a vast open cast coal quarry.

[00:29:58] After that a mine was uncovered some temp they after that I can't pronounce the name of the mine uncovered some timber experts from the site of a nearby former Roman settlement known as something very hard to say rushed to try and preserve the ship.

[00:30:13] The second discovery in the area since 2020. Those Romans boy they didn't stop Roman around I mean they're in Serbia their sandals in Norway. I just yeah it may date back as far as the third or fourth century when I'll try to sit.

[00:30:31] Venom Siem was the capital of the Roman province of Mozia superior and had a port near the tributary of the Danube River. It's the only thing I've heard of in that whole sense I just said.

[00:30:42] We may assume that this ship is Roman but we are unsure of its exact age. So there you go good for you guys now there's a couple this is so exciting.

[00:30:52] This is something I wish I had more notice I would go to this and I would spend the money I've already done it once on my own. I've hunted for Loch Ness. Oh no.

[00:31:06] Yeah I went with Lewis on a boat through the Highlands and when we when you get to Loch Ness there's three lakes that you go to on this thing that Lou organized.

[00:31:15] Loch Ness is the biggest and I've said this on the podcast but yeah I said Lewis is like are you really going to get up at dawn because we left it sick the boat leaves it so you don't have to get up but I'm like fuck yeah Lou.

[00:31:28] How many times in your life are you gonna cruise Loch Ness and what if I. And I brought my tiny binoculars from home for this reason Lewis for this reason.

[00:31:38] Well I'll see you up there with coffee maybe about eight of like that's when you'll miss her because she's probably coming out in the morning.

[00:31:45] Well I didn't see her truth be told I could also see how you could see things in that light because when the wind kicks up the waves it's very deceiving.

[00:31:56] It's deceiving there's a lot of trickery with the way the lake goes but anyway this is happening for reels August 26 August 27th.

[00:32:05] The Loch Ness Center in Scotland which I've been to it's in a little tiny town very it's set like a beautiful postcard and they have a whole exhibit it's just a wonderful place.

[00:32:16] It's calling for budding monster hunters and volunteers to join in on what dubs the largest search for Loch Ness monsters since the 70s.

[00:32:24] Boom because I watched this show in the 70s they did do a big thing but think of how much better our sonar radar and everything is since the 70s.

[00:32:34] Our fish finders just on a shitty bass boat my fish finders really good they don't come up as fish and I wish they did I wish it was a picture of fish not just I don't like that it's just a yellow blob.

[00:32:43] Why can't we where's the nerds help you can make the fish move I'm saying the picture on a fish finder doesn't actually show you fish it shows you things that are happening but I beings.

[00:32:59] Yeah I want it to be a picture of a fish and I want to see is it a crappie or a bass or a catfish.

[00:33:04] Yeah just think of how much better our technology is these days so and I think if we find a giant eel that counts because that's what I think this is a giant eel. It's a giant that may be many of them I'm not just saying one.

[00:33:25] Oh you're going to camp first. The Loch Ness Center is calling for budding monsters, sunnies and volunteers to be what it does the largest of the 70s.

[00:33:34] A visitor attraction said this modern technology such as drones that produce thermal images of the lake will search the water in ways that have never been done before. Excellent.

[00:33:42] The new surface water search for the fabled Nessie plan the week of August 26 and 27 is billed as the largest of its kind since the Loch Ness investigation bureau studied the Lochford signs of the mythical beast in 1972.

[00:33:57] And I do think in 72 I've seen the movie they did a good job they lined up all the boats right next to one another and then everybody hit forward and then they just put it along so technically you're covering the whole lake. But is your timing right?

[00:34:15] What if she got behind the line? The Loch Ness Monster is located at the Drumdraget Hotel where in 1933 manager Aldi McCabe reported spiting a water beast in the Loch. The largest body of freshwater volume in the United Kingdom and one of its deepest.

[00:34:34] Yeah does our radar go to the bottom? I think it did in the 70s so it sure will now. They will deploy drones equipped with infrared cameras so they can produce thermal images. Hydrophone will also be used to detect acoustic signals under the water volunteers.

[00:34:51] So if you're in Scotland are you having to be going on vacation if you want to give them a call because you're going to be asked to be looking for any breaks and water movements with the guidance from experts on what to look out for and how to record your findings.

[00:35:06] Yes. I'm here. I brought my own stuff. Don't you worry about me. Oklahoma. Sometimes Oklahoma reminds me of Missouri with the headlines that come out of there. This was my favorite one this week in the Kansas City Star report.

[00:35:34] Well this is where I saw it in the Kansas City Star. Man thrust American flag through another man's head at Sonic. Oklahoma cop say. What are you doing Oklahoma? Now I'm also going to call this lazy reporting. Very Mitchell Willett.

[00:36:00] You can't put this information out and not finish it. You can't. An Oklahoma man is accused of thrusting a flagpole through another man's head at Sonic according to Tulsa police. This is Tulsa.

[00:36:13] Officers responded to a call about a stabbing at the restaurant on the city's south side about 7 30 p.m. on August 2nd. But arrived to find a victim with a large American flag lodged in his skull. Witnesses told police the guy didn't die so that's why I'm laughing.

[00:36:31] The guy did not die don't think I'm being mean. Witnesses told the police they saw a man identified as Clinton Collins charge at the victim and stab him with the flagpole through his head. When asked Colin said that's what he gets. He deserved it. Who?

[00:36:50] No, no, he was taken immediately into police custody. It took longer to help the victim. Whose injuries put firefighters in a delicate predicament. The pole entered the victim's head beneath his jaw and accident on the other side of his head was his right temple.

[00:37:06] So it went here through there and is protruding and it's a flagpole. So due to the size of the pole, the American flag by the way was still attached to the pole at the time.

[00:37:19] Due to the size of the pole firefighters had cut part of it off to fit him into the ambulance. Miraculously we were told the victim will survive his injuries but will likely lose an eye. Yep probably this one.

[00:37:31] I must say this one where it went out his right temple. He refused to say what the guy did. But see we don't leave the Sonic until we get the story.

[00:37:42] I don't know but if I saw a man come into a Sonic with a flagpole with a flag on it, I'd go to McDonald's. I'd leave because it's not normal. There's something wrong with the person. You can't go inside. Some of the Sonics you can go in.

[00:38:04] You don't think so? It's called Sonic Drive-Thru. Right but they were inside. At a Sonic. The city's south side. I don't know. I didn't know they were all Drive-Thru's. No drive up. Drive up. Like A&W's back in the day. Right. You can't go in any of them?

[00:38:33] Well, well I don't know. This was a parking lot incident. Oh this is a parking lot incident. That's even great maybe it was road rage. Yeah wouldn't it have been something though if you were in the car watching all of it. This is the craziest day ever. Sonic.

[00:38:51] Why didn't you welcome nobody at their phone on then? Tall stuff? That's great. How'd you not notice a guy with American flagpole running at another guy and then? Oh it was on my phone. Oklahoma.

[00:39:05] Alright, Oklahoma this isn't bashing you because I usually do stories about my own state. Well I already did. This one, this man, he looks like a wolf. He has a lot of hair. This is an Oklahoma city.

[00:39:20] A man is facing a misdemeanor charge after police say he jumped off a bridge with a homemade parachute into the Oklahoma River. A caller had told police dispatch that they saw a man on the side of the bridge with what looked like a homemade parachute.

[00:39:38] While officers were on the way to the scene, the caller said the man jumped off the bridge. Officers drove through Wheeler Park and onto a by-the path to get to the river. When they got closer they found Zachary McGee's women in the river.

[00:39:47] Police talked with them, they talked with McGee, whom they recognized from previous calls. They said he'd been arrested several times for breaking into a burnt abandoned property on wherever somewhere in Oklahoma City. Officer told Maggie to swim to the river bank so they could help him out.

[00:40:04] Police say he argued with the officer for a short time. Then they went and got his parachute which was really just a large tarp. Oh, okay. I don't know nothing about science. That's a science thing. I would think it would work.

[00:40:19] They asked why he jumped off the bridge and police say he responded that he'd done it about 15 to 20 times before and he tries to do it every day because he gets too hot. I mean, I probably shouldn't be laughing at this guy's probably mentally ill but

[00:40:37] police arrested him for violating a city ordinance that forbids jumping, diving or throwing things off the bridge. Well, if you just did it once to test your parachute I wouldn't think you were necessarily mentally ill but if you do it all the time

[00:40:50] like because you're hot there's other ways to get not hot. Could we please talk about the fake bear at the Chinese zoo? The Chinese government first of all, if you guys haven't seen the videos they call it's like a Malaysian sunbear.

[00:41:07] They call them sunbears and this thing's like waving and like clapping and pointing at people I mean there's no way a bear would do this constantly and if you somebody who took videos from the back it's clearly a bear costume because it has wrinkles in the ass.

[00:41:25] No bear has a wrinkly ass. A zoo in eastern China has denied suggestions that some of its bears were people dressed in costumes after videos of a Malayan sunbear standing on its hind legs and looking uncannily human went viral, fueling rumors and conspiracy theories on Chinese social media.

[00:41:41] In a statement written from the perspective of the sunbear named Angela, officials from the Hangzoo Zoo said people didn't understand the species. Really there's these friendly bears just walking around where they're like hi Kathleen, yeah let's get a selfie.

[00:41:57] Even if it was a non-aggressive bear it's not gonna perform. No! I'm a sunbear, not a black bear, not a dog. A sunbear! In videos shared on the popular Chinese micro-bligging site Weibo a sunbear had been seen upright on a rock looking out of its enclosures.

[00:42:21] Many users noted the upright posture as well as folds of loose fur on its behind making the bear look somewhat odd. Fewly expected that it's a human imposter. It might sound like an impossible gambit but zoos in China have courted puttabook ridicule for the past.

[00:42:36] To pass their pets off like dogs as wild animals. Wow! They tried to pass off a Tibetan mast if dog is a lion. Oh the visitors who had approached the enclosure expressed shock when they heard the quote lion bark.

[00:42:57] Oh my god visitors at another Chinese zoo in the Sichuan province were shocked to discover a golden retriever sitting in a cage labeled as African lion enclosure. Maybe they put those heads on them like the headdresses like they do on Instagram to golden retrievers or something.

[00:43:15] But they still don't look like a lion. It's like for Halloween. And let's learn something out of this native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. Sun bears are the world's smallest bear species. Adult bear is standard heights of only 28 inches high. Yeah.

[00:43:34] Of up to 70 centimeters, 28 inches and way between 55 and 100. That can't be right 28 inches. That's pretty short. It's not 28 inches though. No. Sun bears are listed as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation and Nature and are protected species in native countries like Malaysia.

[00:43:56] And their numbers in the wild are threatened by poachers and deforestation, declining over 35% in the last three decades according to the conservation trip. The center cares for 43 rescued bears each with their own mannerisms and unique personality. Not enough or known about some bears, they're forgotten species.

[00:44:13] Well not anymore. Nope. Oh, they say that the bears loose saggy skin also performs an important function in the wild by acting as armor from predators protecting them from deeper bites and injuries.

[00:44:28] It's a, if this is not a person then we need to make as many of these sun bears as possible. I'm gonna ask if I can, if I can rent two of them to open for me on the road. I bet they could shoot the t-shirt gun. Yep.

[00:44:42] Can I just, yep. I'll bring them back. Every pubcast we use the metric. Oh and every pubcast we, tchh, metric comes up a lot. And I'm not interested. Yep. I did that with Jimmy Carter in the 70s and we didn't make it through. We quit.

[00:45:06] We quit when we got to a liter of Pepsi and went pfft. We're good. Too fucking hard. Yep. We still have a gallon of milk, a gallon of gas. A liter of Pepsi. Stupid. The rest of the world can do whatever it wants. But no, we ain't changing.

[00:45:26] We're fixing to stay ignorant. Ignorant. That is spelled I-G-N-E-R-A-N-T. Ignorant. Oh my God. Huge news. Who wants an old, who wants the old light bulbs? Hmm? Everybody wants the old light bulbs? Yeah. Well guess what, they're gone.

[00:45:50] Starting next week, Americans will only be able to purchase LED lights from retailers across the nation. As an official ban on incandescent light bulbs will go into effect now. Here's what a lot of people don't know. It's very rare that I'm your hookup. Right.

[00:46:06] But if you can plead your case and give me a good reason, my parents may or may not have hoarded all of the light bulbs one could ever imagine. They're in their basement and they accept cash or travelers checks. Probably accept not been moat.

[00:46:23] If you want yourself good off, I'm serious. My dad started wherever he could find him buying them. He's not going to live his life in LED lighting. I do a joke about it.

[00:46:33] One of my CDs, one of my specials that I remember which one this he went through this whole thing about the light bulbs when they it was Al Gore. Al was trying to do something, you know, green or whatever.

[00:46:46] And all he did is piss people off as always. Al could never read the room. No, I've got an idea about light bulbs. Al stop it. There's more important. I'll never forget in the debate one time.

[00:47:02] Al my dad was a old school Democrat, but I mean old school not new school at all. One of the debates Al Gore goes, well, what I'd like to talk about is daycare for every working parent in the country. My dad goes, why are we talking about babysitting?

[00:47:16] Do these people not have moms? Oh, dad. I mean we are a nation in an economic decline we need to be talking about. I can now what babysitting. I'm like, okay Al, you're losing Jack. You are losing Jack by the hot minute. Anyway, I do a big joke.

[00:47:37] I did a big just bit about it back in the day, but it's finally come to fruition. Coming Tuesday, well it won't be illegal to own the light bulbs. It will be illegal for stores to sell them in companies for manufacture them.

[00:47:48] The federal government's warnings started in January. It's beginning more progressively aggressive and they want to make sure Americans don't back go back in time. Well you are a jack and vickies. Yep, you're going to live. God damn it. Like it's 1972 and you're going to like it.

[00:48:04] It's going to be so bright. They govern and that's the ban. Now everyone will have to purchase LED or compact fluorescent light bulbs instead. However, some critics of the ban calling a government overreach and they should let Americans make their own decision.

[00:48:19] Department of Energy says LED lights provide more light using 75% less energy and about 25 times longer than incandescent light bulbs. They're estimated to save families $100 a year. Not the Madigan family. No. You could be firing those bright bitches up left and right.

[00:48:38] You could see my Bob and Dad's family room. And you can hear it from space too. Welcome to NBC Night. Turn it down. Turn it down. Why is that too loud? Little bit heard it when I pulled up in the driveway, Dad.

[00:48:53] I know what you're watching before I go in the house. Yep. So that's just a warning. If you're out there anywhere in your area, go to Ace Hardware, go somewhere. Lowe's is pretty progressive on lighting.

[00:49:14] You got to go somewhere where there might still be stuff on the shelf that nobody bought there. Just saying. It's doable. Sad times here. The world's oldest man, Jose Paulino Gomez dies at age 127. Wow. After putting down his long life to quote, have a little drink.

[00:49:37] He was allegedly, he's from Brazil. He was allegedly born August 4th, 1895. He leaves behind seven grandchildren, 25 great grand, 27 children, 25 grandchildren, 42 great-grandchildren, 11 great-great-grandchildren. He passed away on July 28th at his home in Minas, Jaris, Brazil. He reportedly put down his life, long life down to enjoying a little drink.

[00:50:05] He was born before the death of Queen Victoria, the Wright Brothers' first flight, and the discovery of X-rays local records claim. According to Cordova Silva, the sole registry office in the hometown in his hometown, said he married in 1917 at age 22. So then they did the math backwards.

[00:50:23] It's presumed he was indeed born before 1900. If true, he'd be the oldest person in the planet in the world. According to official record holders, Spain's Maria Branias, we've talked about her, she's 115. We've talked about her. Here in the countryside, people are usually registered when they're older.

[00:50:45] Jose's granddaughter told the local media there are several cases with incorrect documentation, but his documentation showed he was younger than he actually was. There's a lady nearby who's 98 years old and she said she knew him when he was just a boy.

[00:50:57] That's when we became curious to confirm his age, we looked up the registry to find out what was correct. He was definitely over 100, at least 110. Now we will know how it has to be recorded on the death certificate. He was a very simple humble man.

[00:51:10] His uniqueness that he didn't like anything industrialized, only things from the countryside. He raised chickens, pigs, his food was off from here, had to be grown or raised here. And he always liked to have a little drink. He was riding horses up until four years ago.

[00:51:26] He'll leave behind many stories and memories. There said his cause of death was multiple or, yeah, old age. The computer broke. At that point do we need a cause? Unless it was like somebody murdered him with a flag, American flagpole, then I need to know.

[00:51:43] But otherwise, no, I don't need to know. Another reason to drink. Another reason to drink. Yeah, this story, this story. Oh, here's my Tay-Tay thing. Yeah, it basically says what I already said, so I don't need to go into it. Good job. Good job. Go to organization.

[00:52:03] Everybody knows if he listens to his podcast, I really am a fan of Delta Airlines. For the most part, I love them. There are days when I don't. But I really love my friends at the Delta clubs because I know all of them.

[00:52:18] But it's just, I feel like, I don't know, it's a great airline all in all. So this is something I don't understand how this happens. Drunk Delta passenger who was served 11 drinks sexually assaulted a mom and a teen. Teen. During a nine hour nightmare flight.

[00:52:38] Even I don't think I could get through 11 drinks. No. I don't care how long the flight was. Nine hours, God. Yeah. They let him walk off the plane without calling the cops either. What? Listen to it.

[00:52:56] A man on Delta Airlines flight down, a man on the Delta Airlines flight down at least 10 vodka's and a glass of wine. Talk about vomiting on command. 10 vodka's and then you chase it with wine.

[00:53:06] Before groping a 16 year old girl and her mother according to the lawsuit, flight attendants on the nearly nine hour nightmare flight out of JFK blatantly ignore the pair's plea for help including a demand to stop giving the abuser booze according to federal papers filed in Brooklyn.

[00:53:22] Staffers then allegedly let the jail bait loving drunkard quietly off the plane when it landed in Greece. Are you in first class or is he in coach? Because I don't see getting 11 drinks in coach. No.

[00:53:35] They're not bringing those carts to he had it had to have been business or first. Staffers then allegedly let him walk off the plane without notifying local police of an alleged assault. What happened to them during the flight was not just a nightmare.

[00:53:49] It was completely prevent preventable flight staff allegedly served the man vodka, even though he was noticeably drunk. This is why we need bouncers on planes. I've probably said this before. I sound like my dad now where I just repeat things that I've already said 100 times but.

[00:54:05] I mean we have bouncers at comedy clubs because people are drinking sometimes a lot. Why? I know that they always say air marshals.

[00:54:17] Well if there are all these air marshals, how come all this shit's going down on planes and passengers and flight attendants are the ones that have to handle it. You are serving alcohol in the air and you don't have a bouncer.

[00:54:29] It's the craziest thing I've ever heard over an ocean. Over an ocean. Yeah or if he goes super psycho, you know could do anything.

[00:54:36] He frightened the team by putting his hands on her back making obscene gestures screaming and demanding she tell him her address and other personal information. He also told the mom he did not care that the girl was a minor.

[00:54:48] When the mom complained, a flight attendant blew her off telling her to be patient. The unidentified man who mumbled that he was from Connecticut gave the mother and daughter a brief reprieve by heading to the bathroom to loudly puke before returning with a glass of wine.

[00:55:04] He threw up. Okay but here's the other thing. Mom, daughter, where are you sitting? Well we can totally find out who that guy was. We don't have to. I don't know I heard him mumbling. Don't you, what's your fucking flight thing? Where's your manifest? Show me your seats.

[00:55:23] How do you give him a glass of wine when he was being hit?

[00:55:26] Unless one flight attendant didn't know, say it's me and you when we're busy and I don't realize you've given drunkie Six Fodkas or whatever and then he comes up and goes can I have a glass of wine? And then I go sure.

[00:55:41] Are they afraid if he's in first class, he's a rich person, he's going to yell at them. I think they tracked that. We need to ask the flight attendant. I have a lot of flight attendants friends. I'll ask if they're tracking.

[00:55:52] I kind of don't want to know the answer. After I had my two screwdriver to get to Los Angeles. Yeah, he came back with a glass of wine rather than move the man to a different seat.

[00:56:05] A flight attendant allegedly told him to stop talking to the victims, prompting an enraged profanity laced outburst from the drunk who called her mom and kid fucking bitches.

[00:56:15] The teen began to have a panic attack and put her head down on her mom's lap only to feel the intoxicated Delta's passengers clammy fingers underneath her shirt climbing up her back, figuring her bra strap and moving over her body.

[00:56:30] When the plan landed the flight attendants offered 5000 free miles as an apology. Not enough. No. Delta declined to comment on the lawsuit because it insisted it had zero talents for customers who engage in inappropriate. We need a jail. We need a jail chair.

[00:56:50] I'll call it a jail chair. Where we handcuff people. Well, American Airlines going old school. They're going duct tape. Surprise they don't have a lasso. Just wrap you up like a cartoon. We need a jail area on a plane and we need bouncers.

[00:57:09] And it's got to be two very strong people. I don't care if it's a man or a woman. The Mexican rest of the serial killer lady was super strong. It can be a woman. But we don't do this without bouncers. It's a crazy, every bar on earth.

[00:57:24] That's actually not just a little tiny pub. Has a bouncer. They're suing Delta for 2 million. Yes, a million a piece. When was the latest update? That was just filed. Delta's not coming. Oh, it was just filed? The flight attendant has been put on a permanent leave.

[00:57:47] The flight attendant. The one who gave him 11 drinks. Well, that's the other thing though. Like let's really throw this out there. I've never been told there was a limit. But I never crossed the line. But is there? Or is it personal discretion? Like a bartender.

[00:58:06] In the years that I bartended, there were people I cut off. And it's a giant problem. It's an issue. It's a fight. It's going to get ugly usually if you cut the drunk off because now they're mad.

[00:58:17] You fed the monster and now you tell the monster there's no more treats. And then the monster goes like, yeah, so what happens? So is there a drink maximum? If so, I've never heard about one. But I've also never pushed it beyond the further.

[00:58:31] I mean, the long, long, long. You're on a flight list. Yeah. I don't think I'm on a no flight list. Call your agent. No, blame me on the Kathleen Madigan. This isn't one that writes global economic news. I'm gonna blame that one.

[00:58:47] Nope, that was my other cousin Kathleen Madigan. This is a freaky story. Maybe end this one with a little mystery. Well, I also, this is, I know this is a controversial topic that I don't usually do controversy. But Light has now lost $400 million

[00:59:06] and they still won't say whether they fired that lady. Whose idea this was? Her and the dude, whatever the dude. This is where you need a new CEO and this is why they say they won't. 400 and all kinds of bottlers have been laid off.

[00:59:19] It's getting really, really bad. American Retail's fell 14% in April and all of this like my bars, the Ozarks that I went with my sister and she's like, look at those old redneck guys drinking Bud Light. I go they haven't even heard about any of this.

[00:59:37] No, no, no, no. They'll hear about it two years from now and go, well, I guess I'll stop. Everybody's already gonna be drinking Bud Light again. Well people that like the beer, I don't understand how you're that unloyal to your beer.

[00:59:49] I mean if that's your beer, it's your beer. But whatever. So there's normal people getting laid off and fired because of who this lady's, Alyssa Heiner Schneeld, Schneed, Alyssa Heiner Schnee'd who should have never been the vice president of marketing.

[01:00:10] You don't, I don't know, some people in comments have gotten mad thinking, I'm not against Dylan the trans person at all. I'm against you Alyssa Heiner Schneid for not being able to read the room. That's your job. Not your room.

[01:00:27] Do we need Bud Light cants to have things that are controversial? No. A dog a month. Oh my god. Everybody'd be like, when are they doing the pug? Oh my god, I hope they do a Yorkie. Oh my god, August is chocolate lab. Come on.

[01:00:45] Get all the cans. It's our dog on there or they could have had contest. Put your dog on a Bud Light cake, you can imagine. There's so many easy ideas that are fun Your just beer supposed to be fun, fun, fun.

[01:01:03] Months ago, Ann Hasabush decided to send some beer to Dylan Mulvaney and openly transinfluenced her on TikTok and da da da da da da da da. Now there's all the trouble. Whether you have a problem with corporations going woke or not though,

[01:01:13] there were many conservatives taking relationship with company and it was led to serious financial ramifications or Ann Hasabush had also included. But here's the thing. Where is Alyssa Heiner Schneid now? Understandably, given the fact that she's now in this

[01:01:28] wild life, it's fairly hard to know for a certain where Alyssa is. While some on the right have reported that she was fired by the company, Ann Hasabush denies those reports. Well, Ann Hasabush, that's part of the problem.

[01:01:40] I think you gotta come out and say we fired her. She read the room wrong. Sorry, you have a job for marketing, supposed to be fun and not controversial. That's our goal. We don't wanna be in controversy. We are beer.

[01:01:54] To my understanding, if we publicly announced the word fire, it opens up potential for them to sue us. Fine, let her sue you. Let Alyssa Heiner Schneid sue you because even if she wins $5 million, that's gonna be a lot less than you're losing.

[01:02:10] And it would show that you went, okay, she read the room wrong. Beer's supposed to be fun. Horsies, dogs, fun things. They also reported that Daniel Blake, her superior, was also fired. The source said Daniel was actually awesome, but got caught up in the crossfire over the controversy.

[01:02:29] Wholesalers were told that they, I just can't even imagine what this water, you're sitting there at a lunch break and go, hey, did you mail a six pack to somebody named Dylan? Something. Yeah. She declined to approach. But this is where they've hemorrhaged money since the incident.

[01:02:51] If you lose me money and you work for this corporation unless you have a really good explanation, bye-bye chicken pie. It's called work. Well, and also it doesn't matter what type of influencer you are, if you're an influencer, you're gonna post that shit.

[01:03:06] Of course they're gonna post it. That's why you need to control who's post and what. Right. I hope Bud Light can get it back. I love Bud Light. You better get back up to the mothership. Well, I just like, I gotta get to the mothership and say,

[01:03:19] I'm not saying Louis, but I don't think these decisions are being made in St. Louis. Uh-uh. They're being made. Fansier places. Fansier. New York, Los Angeles. Oh, look at you. Which by the way. You're going to have to shave on the coast. I'm just saying they're fansier.

[01:03:36] Is that not true? You know what I think? Martha Stewart's area in Connecticut is better than South St. Louis? No. Well, it's fancier. You can judge whether it's better or worse, but it's definitely fancier. By the way, I want to call my next tour special Midwest Something,

[01:03:54] and I need any suggestions from the termites. I would like to call it Midwest Queen of Love and Beauty after my mom's thing, because there was this really, it's called the VP for hair and say Louis. It was rich, rich white Protestants, and they had their own queen

[01:04:12] called the Queen of Love and Beauty at this big pageant. Yeah, did we? Oh, a long, long time ago, right. But my mom would always go, stop that. You're never going to be the Queen of Love and Beauty.

[01:04:21] I go, not only am I not going to be that because I didn't do the dishes the way you want me to, we're also not rich and Protestant. I think the not rich and Protestant part is going to crush whatever you're threatening me with.

[01:04:33] Anyway, this is kind of weird. I don't understand how you don't have to say who you are when you buy things like land and homes. I don't think that's right. I think people should have to say who you are. But you guess you don't everywhere.

[01:04:50] A mystery buyer just purchased an entire California ghost town, Eagle Mountain for $22 million. A road diverges. Is it kind of a little, is it good little nine night story? It's good. A road diverges in the yellow flats along the outer rim of Joshua Tree National Park.

[01:05:08] The two lanes in the middle of the desert peel off into Interstate 10 about an hour and a half from Palm Springs. I don't know exactly where that's at. They break at the entrance of Eagle Mountain, a ghost town in California desert that has attracted continuous attention

[01:05:22] until its untimely end in 1983. Unlike any other ghost towns, Eagle Mountain never truly died. Now an unknown buyer has purchased the town to add a new chapter to its storied history. Formally, a company town for Kaiser Steel, Eagle Mountain provided a palm tree, studded oasis with 4,000 residents.

[01:05:42] Most were employed by the mine. Workers drilled, blasted and shoveled the nearby mountains in search of iron ore. At the mines peak they broke daily production level, records for daily production levels. It's only took a few years for poor outcomes for the mine to shutter evicting the population.

[01:05:57] Eagle Mountain rose from the airbrush at the end of the 40s to thrive a generation or two. Although it's mostly empty today, the town's destiny is not as barren as it appears. An employee of Eagle Mountain's now former owner spoke with the San Francisco Gate

[01:06:12] who was granted anonymity due to fear of professional repercussions in accordance with Hearst ethics policy. He mentioned how large red trucks have become a regular sighting. A fur sales sound at the town's entrance, promising rock products and minerals has been answered. The seller was an Ontario company

[01:06:33] called Eagle Mountain Acquisition, apparently the last of various Kaiser subsidies on the town over the past 40 years. The buyer, Ecology Mountain Holdings and LLC with even more limited public information besides a Cerritos California business address. See? I don't think you should be able to do this.

[01:06:54] This could be criminal money, this could be, I think you should have to, clearly. Not just foreign money, which we do allow but it needs to be tracked. And LLC, I don't like it. When I'm never president, I'm gonna do something about that.

[01:07:14] I don't think Dahlia would buy the desert. I don't think she'd buy another mountain, another smokey mountain or something but oh, well, speaking of which, while I talk about that next week, there will be a Queen update with Dahlia next week.

[01:07:30] A few foremen live on the president's premises and it's a full time to keep watch over Eagle Mountain. Palm trees poke out from the street they live on while the rest of the town remains preserved by dust. One night in the stillness,

[01:07:41] a foreman heard trespassers in the dark. The sound of a shotgun blast into the sky scared them off. Wow, they're just shooting shotguns at everybody. Within the mile long town, there are a few hundred abandoned structures that once were homes, businesses or community centers of a D-Lig village.

[01:07:59] Kids rode their bike along the landscape streets and we're playing with chickens under a vast blue sky. One man even found himself gliding above Eagle Mountain in a paramotor to the soundtrack of Pearl Jam. Oh, yeah. How poetic. It's really weird that this whole town is gone now

[01:08:22] because the thing is gone and no, who bought it and why? Exactly. You don't have to say why you're buying something legally but I think you have to identify yourself. This whole thing about everybody I buy in corporations is ridiculous.

[01:08:39] I wanna see if there's anything else on here that was worth any, it just goes through its history of being a strange, it may or may not. Carol King filmed the music video for her 1993 songs Lay Down My Life at the Cafe. Yeah, that's close now. Yeah.

[01:08:58] So, I don't know. Does anybody know who bought it? Anybody out there in California? Any California people know about Eagle Mountain? $22 million. What if it's Zuckerberg? I always think of him or Elon. It could be Elon, he wants to shoot shit in the space. Shoot shit there, yeah.

[01:09:19] Yeah. We also did find out, this is a term I sent this. So the big amusement park that's being built in Oklahoma, I mean it's beyond an amusement park, the American Heartland themed park because I was saying who owns that? It's gonna bring 5,000. Manson Mansion Entertainment Group

[01:09:42] based in Branson, Missouri. Mansions portfolio includes television production, short films as well as hosting concerts and theatrical performances at the Manson Theater for Performing Arts in their hometown. The venue has hosted ours like Kenny Loggins, Jeff Foxworthy, that's my friend. Jeff. Yeah. Kathleen, Jeff, there's not two ways.

[01:10:01] Bob Newhor, no, Dennis, they, so that's who, and it's the guy, the executive director for the creative team behind this park. Boy, if they said, you know what, if they came and said, will you give money to invest? Like I don't have a shit ton of money,

[01:10:16] but I would say some. Not a lot, I'll give you a little. I just don't know about the location of this. I don't know. The executive creative director is multimillionaire Gene Bicknell. He's a native of Pittsburgh, Kansas. He joined the Pizza Hut franchise in 1962,

[01:10:38] just four years after the first location opened in Wichita. I did not know Pizza Hut was from Wichita. Stop it, really? Right. Yeah, and I was just talking to Heidi, my awesome agent. I think Wichita is gonna be in the mix for 2024. Yay, Spangles. He, Spangles.

[01:10:56] That was a good little burger and it was a good breakfast vodka slushie. I mean, what are there quick in and out burger places got alcohol? A bar, not just a beer, wine. That liquor license is harder to get. Slurpy. Slurpy, yeah.

[01:11:10] I want a vodka slurpy with your breakfast burrito. Yes! Anyone? Under Bricknell, the company operated hundreds of Pizza Hut locations worldwide as well as taking over Tony Roma's and operating some Wendy's too. He sold the company in 2006 for $615 million, setting off a tax battle with his home state.

[01:11:35] So that's who's doing that. Great! All right, termites. All my lyrics. Yeah. Oh yeah. Um... What do we call this? My new segment is called lyrics, but I don't know what I, I totally printed them out. I don't know where they went. May have to start next week.

[01:11:57] Well, I did blighted by the light and maybe laugh so hard. I don't... Well, shit. Let me look one more time. Patience termites. Patience. I don't think I did. I printed it all out. I don't know what I would have done. I may have to start next week.

[01:12:13] So I did think I read a bunch of stuff for YouTube comments. A lot of termites were put in stuff that their parents or friends or whatever thought were... I will do the wrong lyrics too, because at first I just wanted to make it the point.

[01:12:24] Like I printed out Taylor's lyrics and then shit we listened to and sang along with, having no idea. Those kids know exactly, but I just wanted to show the differences. She has anthems for them. Oh, I know. I will never ever ever ever ever... Get back together!

[01:12:39] Jesus, okay, I got it. I gotcha. Gotcha. Message received. Simmer down. And by that... Crazy youngsters. I was really excited about the light bulb story. I'm just telling... That's where you learn things on this... Okay, oh here it is. You learn that now you know,

[01:12:58] go hunt for the old school light bulbs if you want brightness in your home. I mean, I get the LED ones, but I like the old ones better too. I side with my parents on that. They're not as efficient, I get it. And you know, the planet's boiling,

[01:13:15] so I guess we should do night scenes. You should tell people that that is recycled. What's recycled? That book you just turned over. This? Yeah, I put it on the other side on the following week. Yeah, I don't waste the paper, and they're the same paper clips. See?

[01:13:32] Also, I'm on the road 250 nights a year. I know I can't be held responsible for anything. I don't really have... I don't do anything. You know, my one friend went, why didn't you retake on that? Fuck it, I am here 50 nights a year. If I'm lucky.

[01:13:46] Don't you talk to me about what goes on in this house because I'll tell you what, it doesn't go on that often. So I had my Tay-Tay story. Okay, so... What do we call this segment? Lyrics. Cause people wrote it,

[01:14:01] I'm gonna start printin' out what people write in, they were so funny about their parents. I'm sure this is old radio bit too. It's not like I'm thinking of anything new. But my point of the new part, wrong lyrics is an old thing

[01:14:12] like radio stations used to do it, but it's fun. But my point is, Taylor's lyrics make perfect sentence. Here's perfect sentence. And the kids are like, yeah. I remember when we broke up, this is the first time saying, this is it, I've had enough

[01:14:30] cause we hadn't seen each other in a month. When you said you needed space, what? Then you come around again saying, baby I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change, trust me. Remember how that lasted for a day? I say, I hate you, we break up,

[01:14:44] you call me, you love me. We are never ever ever getting back together. We are never ever ever getting back together. You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me, but we are never ever ever ever getting back together, like ever.

[01:15:01] Now I like that song, but like, that's why she's one of the many reasons she's so popular. Cause these kids want to say that to somebody in their life. I don't know who it was. We hate our two of those kids. We, I never ever ever.

[01:15:17] Now, here's what people my age were singing along to. Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night, mad man drummer bummers, Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat, in the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into hat,

[01:15:37] with a boulder on his shoulder, kind of feeling older, I tip the merry go round. With this very pleasing sneezing and wheezing, this calopy crash to the ground. I just remembered I liked the opening, blinded by the light. But a lot of people didn't know.

[01:15:55] I didn't know it was revved up. I thought it was revved up like a deuce. It's a deuce. No, I thought why? Well at the time when I was probably 12, I didn't even know what a deuce was. And then I didn't know why you'd rev it up.

[01:16:09] But it didn't matter. We just kept singing. Some silicone sister with a manager mist that told me I got what it takes. She said I'll turn you on, send us something strong, play the song with a funky break. And a go-kart Mozart was checking out the weather

[01:16:30] to see if it was safe outside. And the little early pearly came by and it's curly woolly and asked me if I needed a ride. I sang this whole song. I've never seen these lyrics in my life until now. That's just versus Tay-Tay.

[01:16:49] I think Taylor is giving you a clear message. You're gonna say this to your ex-boyfriend or girlfriend or whatever it is that children, whoever you got that you're mad at, we are ever, ever, ever, ever. And then I love at the end, like, ever.

[01:17:03] If the first four didn't get through your thick skull. All right. Okay termites. In our business wrap up, we got Cape Cod. I'm coming your way. I can't be stopped. I'm so excited. My brother and his wife and the kids are gonna be there.

[01:17:28] Kate Madigan from the New Jersey Devils and her dad. Yeah, my friend Kelly McFarland will be opening. She will be, yeah. And my friend John and his wife, Kathy, are coming. And my neighbors, Jebby, Jeff and Debbie. I've named them Jebby. My neighbors here, not there.

[01:17:49] They're gonna be there. I thought I was gonna be able to sneak out and do a show and just hang out and goof off, but there's a lot of people coming. So I guess I gotta figure out something to wear. Yeah, something you gotta go to cleaners.

[01:18:00] I am. You drive the whole Cape. I'm gonna drive the whole Cape. Never done it before. Merchandise, new t-shirts re-stocking this week because it's sold out so fast? No problem. And a new trucker hat. Now, I haven't gone further enough in this schedule.

[01:18:15] So I'm gonna go further to remind everybody, this is the wrap up. September 7th, Boise, Idaho. September 9th, Reno. September 14th, Hershey, Pennsylvania. 15th, Pittsburgh. 16th, Cleveland. 21st, Eau Claire. September 22nd, Madison. September 23rd, Chicago. What are you doing in Chicago, Kathleen?

[01:18:36] Well, I'm gonna save it for next week. You said that last week. I know. I know. You're afraid, aren't you? I'm a little afraid, yeah. I am a little afraid. You're afraid. I'm a little terrified. I have to run away to St. Louis people first. Okay.

[01:18:50] October 6th, Richmond, Virginia. October 7th, Charlotte, North Carolina. 13th, Des Moines. 14th, Kansas City. Kansas City. 20th, Virginia Beach. 21st, Washington, DC. 27th, Fort Worth. I'm very excited about that because I haven't been to Fort Worth since the old days of the comedy club

[01:19:15] because they usually just do Dallas and then they won't put yet because they're not, they stay in their own area. I don't know why, you know, but whatever. Stay in your own rodeo. Yeah, stay in your own rodeo. You don't need to be going into the big town

[01:19:28] and you don't need to be going in small town. Although Fort Worth is huge now and it's so fun. October 28th, Houston, Texas where I'll be going to where? Neen Foss! Neen Foss! Probably the best Mexican in the country. I agree. November 4th, St. Louis, hometown gig.

[01:19:47] Where are we drinking afterwards? That's all of my texts, that's all the texts. And I'm like, well, we didn't really get tickets. There you have to, you don't even have to come to the show. Just come to the party. November 11th, two shows in Denver. Denver, Colorado.

[01:20:03] Yeah, same. All right, termites. Be your good summer termites. People were asking about your kayak. People were asking about my kayak. The kayak that I usually take out, well it's the only one I have. I was doing a gig in Petovsky, Michigan

[01:20:19] which is way, way, way up at the top. And I walked down because I had nothing better to do. They were having a boat show right in the harbor in the bay. It was beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. But there was this company just out front.

[01:20:34] Like there were all these tents with boating and kayaking stuff called Paddle North based out of Minnesota. And that kayak is a blow-up thing but it's made out of bamboo. It's inflatable, I said blow-up thing. You want me to be technical?

[01:20:51] This is an inflatable kayak made in Minnesota which is a Midwest state in the Northern Midwest in the middle of the country just south of Canada. It's a blow-up deal. You just get one of them. But it's made out of bamboo so the top's really hard.

[01:21:09] But here's the greatest thing, especially for traveling when I drive to gigs, if I want. You can roll that thing up and it fits in a gym bag. It's astonishing. It was not cheap. No, like I could just go up to Dick's Sporting Goods

[01:21:25] and get the $300 one that's sitting out there but I can't roll that fucking thing up and I sure as should I'm not trying to put it on the roof of my car and you know, I'm coming down to Chattanooga

[01:21:37] and then that flies off and then I kill someone. I'm not doing that. You want lime green or pink? Yeah, well that's a Libra problem. Every time I see those things outside of Dick's Sporting Goods I'm like, I could stand here all year

[01:21:48] and not make a color choice. I love the blue. It's happy. The green is more like, I'm the can't. This is a Libra issue. Other Libras will understand. Stickers on it. Stickers on it, nope, too complicated. But anyway, if you guys are, if you see that

[01:22:05] and you liked it, just go, they have a website. They have sales every now and then. It's not cheap but it's gonna last forever and it goes in a gym bag. I can take it anywhere I want, throw it in the back of the car.

[01:22:16] I can paddle all around Tennessee and Missouri all I want. I can paddle. You guys do kayak? I love it, yeah. Yeah, I've taken it everywhere. I'm not, I don't have a good sense of balance. I mean my nickname as a child was Grace

[01:22:29] because all I did was fall down. Nobody ever thought about, hey I wonder if that kid's super-duper nearsighted. Pfft. Yeah, I was 13 before I got glasses. No need, stop, don't worry about it. Haven't seen shit since the day I've been born.

[01:22:41] I remember when I saw a leaf and I was like, whoa, look at the detail. I knew I couldn't see when we played the license game in the car and everybody was guessing shit left and right and I didn't know until we were actually on the cars bumper.

[01:22:54] I'm like, oh I got two zeros. What? It's over. Anyway, I am not very graceful. So the paddle boarding, I'd rather kayak. I have their paddle board too. But I just find it, I don't know, plus I'm getting older, it hurts my back.

[01:23:19] And you need a dog so you look like a foskeye. What? Baby cat would hate it. Baby cat doesn't want me injured. How's baby cat gonna live like the queen that she's meant to be? If her main servant, her main butler is down for the count.

[01:23:32] She can't have that queen. I think we need a lot of beauty. Midwest something, come on termites, let's think of a name. Midwest etiquette because we don't really have any. Midwest polite, there's a difference. Midwest drunk drunk, that's a big difference

[01:23:46] because if you say drunk drunk to Wisconsin people it's a very different tradition than California. I don't know, I'll think of something but I wanna shout out and respect the Midwest. Not that I don't respect everywhere else but that's where I'm from. Great. Yeah, that's it termites.

[01:24:08] It's not so hot here. Still summer. Still summer, enjoy your time off although the kids are going back to school. It's crazy. It's crazy. I'm not gonna get into it but I think, I don't know working parents might like that.

[01:24:21] And then some of my friends who have kids and jobs and all that they're like they'd rather go all year round with just vacation breaks which I think is kind of probably the answer. This whole old school shit

[01:24:30] if I have three and a half months off in summer and my mom's locked us out since June 11th even we got bored of summer. We're like, whoa, this is still hot. How long are we gonna keep doing this? I would get excited to go back to school

[01:24:46] but I think that would make a lot more sense for people who have to work and then your kids get, you have these vacation times and maybe you can plan them rather than here they're off all summer sign them up for 100 camps

[01:24:57] that's gonna cost you a bazillion dollars and they may or may not wanna go to and then you're gonna end up drinking more because you're gonna feel bad about that. Run for office. Not running for office. No, no. Okay, that's it. It feels like we're done here. Bye.
