[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. Hi Mites! Episode 149! I'm gonna do something special for the 150th anniversary, right?
[00:00:34] I have one week to think of something to get my shit together. One week! Maybe nothing. Maybe a little 200. That's just pure laziness. So many things, alright this is a big episode because a lot has gone on. A lot has gone on and a lot is going on.
[00:00:49] How was your labor? Well right now I'm reveling in the Burning Man people. Fuck. Just, I mean I don't care who goes to these festivals, whatever. The art out there does look fantastic and the outfits look fantastic. None of it.
[00:01:07] I am not a visual person so none of that would occur to me. I can't even think of a Halloween costume, like I'm not visual. I can think of words but can't think of, I'm not a picture person.
[00:01:18] But just the idea, I mean we already talked about this last week because there was already problems in the beginning because the protest, there's only one wrote in and one wrote out. Don't go to the event! Period end of story.
[00:01:28] Now that does not hold true for Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City because as my sister found out two years ago taking the girls to Taylor Swift, if you're doing the, but here's the thing. Let's say I go to a Chiefscape and something terribly goes wrong.
[00:01:46] I still know I can walk to Kansas City. Even drunk I could do it. Now if it's super cold, like snowy icy, I don't know, I'd just lay down on the side of 70 and somebody would pick you up. A trucker would pick you up.
[00:01:58] Now you might get raped or murdered after that but at least you got a ride. You got a ride. There's no rides in the desert. There's no rides out here. There's no nothing. It's just a recipe for, I don't know if there's any termites that went.
[00:02:12] I'm not judging that. I'm just saying what this lady wouldn't do. I'm not going where there's one wrote in and one wrote out and then nothing surrounding that. Like I don't know how many other football stadiums I've been to but most of them
[00:02:26] seem to have more than what, Kansas City is just kind of out of Kansas City out on in the burbs like kind of in the middle of nowhere but that thing is a pain in the ass to get in and out of.
[00:02:37] However, you know, if things went terribly awry and turned into Lord of Flies I could walk to then Columbia. I mean if you were willing to walk. You like your clay district. Right. I could get down to the power of the power of light house district wherever.
[00:02:55] So I don't know. One of my quotes made it into the Daily Mail. My cousin said to me and was like, yeah, I was like, yeah, my tweet made it. It's just a sensible thing. I'm not judging you.
[00:03:04] I'm just saying be smart if there's one road unless you have a helicopter. But that won't matter either. Can't land in the mud. The airport's closed. Chris rocks in the back of somebody's truck. What are you doing, Chris? I know him.
[00:03:15] I mean, I have to find out why he did that. But we're too old for that. And I don't say I'm too old for much, but I wouldn't have done that when I was 25, more or less 55. No, no, no, no, no. Also, yeah, the bathroom situation.
[00:03:32] I don't like the desert. I get too hot and then overheat and just watch things grow on me from the sun. Like I can't. I'm like, what is that? What is that on my hand that wasn't there yesterday? Well, that's what happens when you're translucent
[00:03:48] and go out in the desert for two hours, just two hours. And I had a heat stroke once out there, Palm Springs. It's just not my thing. But I hope whoever, I've watched every Burnt. The TikTok videos are just, there's a guy on there too.
[00:04:03] I don't know his name. He's got a whole thing about their 70,000 white chicks with dreadlocks stuck in a mud pit. It's like he's acting like an emergency. Like he's telling the president or something. It's very, very funny. You can't even talk about the desert without having beer.
[00:04:17] I've never known anybody that went to Burning Man. And I have a lot of weird friends that might be on the cusp of that. If the Grateful Dead was out there, my little friend Dorf would be there in two hot minutes. Not even caring. I don't know.
[00:04:33] Custom Burning Man. Yeah, I don't, I don't even go any, well, I've said that before, I don't even go to a concert anymore unless I have good parking. I can't do it. Next time I go to Red Rocks and Denver too, I, well, it's outside Denver.
[00:04:49] I need to figure out how to get off that mountain. I figured how to get up it easily but with being dropped off. But then my guy was like, well, okay. I hired a driver guy that was a friend of a friend.
[00:05:00] He drove me and then he was like, so meet me at the Chick-fil-A at the bottom ring of the mountain. But there's like eight of them. Chick-fil-As stands little, yeah. So that was a nightmare. Anyway, big two days up in Gatlinburg.
[00:05:17] I just did a little charity auction for my friend and that went really well. That was the point of going up there. But then I thought, why not just stay an extra day in the wonderful Smoky Mountains? So if you're ever in Tennessee
[00:05:31] and you wanna go to one of our national parks, so the bottom city is Severeville. That's where Adali's from. Now that used to be a dry county as of like four years ago. So you might wanna check on that if you're a drinker.
[00:05:42] To just know that was a thing. Maybe not anymore. I haven't recently checked. Cause I just drive right through it. Then there's Pigeon Forge and then the next one is Gatlinburg and then right at the end of Gatlinburg is where the moonshine distilleries are and the fun stuff.
[00:05:57] And then right when that ends, it's the Smoky Mountain National Forest. Which I took a giant hike and I hiked two years ago. I'm not really a hiker. Let's put it that way. Okay. But I'm also not as American as a lot of Americans in this park.
[00:06:16] Where I have been to Canadian national parks. Every single person for the most part looks like they're prepared. They're ready to do shit. Their shoes are proper. They got stuff on their back. I don't even know what it is. They're carrying backpacks with enough supplies
[00:06:30] to last 80 days out in the woods. They have bear spray, everything. America, no not the case. Every person looked like well I'll do it but there better be a corn dog up there. How's this end? I mean when we get to this waterfall, is there beer?
[00:06:46] How's that work? No they have nothing. And I saw a bear. I put it on Instagram and Twitter. It was in but there's also no signs. Like hey Dumbo Americans, that this is not fucking Disney World. This is real shit.
[00:07:01] I don't know why I didn't have bear spray. I showed off. I don't know I'm just walking along with a rock in my hand. What's that gonna do? I'm gonna wing it at it. No I saw the bear he was down in the gully
[00:07:14] but it was a big bear. It's September they're getting hungry. Like not smart. But there's no signs. Like in the Canadian National Parks because they take it more seriously there are giant signs. Have your bear spray not allowed past here with an animal, blah blah blah.
[00:07:28] There's people this it was called Laurel Falls and it says it's one point like five miles but it doesn't say the whole that first 1.5 straight up a hill. Right? People have strollers. What the fuck are you doing? Like but that guy didn't know. He didn't know.
[00:07:44] He's like oh who's gonna do a waterfall? Boop dee dee dee. The kids are crying. The pavement goes away at some point. It looks like my uncles did it and then got drunk and left. That's what the pavement looks like.
[00:07:55] I mean and it's a beautiful forest but yeah they say paved walkway. Sometimes it should say sometimes paved because the asphalt has just crumbled in places and you're on these ledges and there's kids like this is, I would say that is not a hike
[00:08:14] for little kids because you're gonna end up carrying them. So if you're into that but then how are you gonna kill the bear that's coming at ya? Throw your child. Throw your child. Rattle snakes, there's all kinds of shit up there. No signs. Just makes me laugh though
[00:08:29] because Americans literally have nothing in our hands. Nothing. Canadians got poles, bear spray hooked to them bells are ringing. I mean they are a compact machine of I am coming bears. Watch out. I'm warning you. I'm a person. This, it made me laugh so hard though
[00:08:49] and then every single super chubby person that's coming down is like you're almost there and they look so deflated and disgusted that they just wanna sit down or roll down the hill. But Gallenburg I saw a bear there. I saw a bear in town.
[00:09:04] I went out of the bar deal which is very cute bar. It's got good wings and stuff up at the top of the hill. Well it's not in the forest. There's nothing in the forest except the forest. Gallenburg. Gallenburg, Brewhouse, I don't remember. And then I went out
[00:09:23] because I couldn't hear on my phone and this guy was yelling at me going lady and when you are from a big family your first reaction to being yelled at is always defensive. Like I never assumed someone wants to help me. I assume you're accusing me of something
[00:09:38] and I didn't do it. I did not do it so the guys go lady, lady and I'm like what? I'm just standing here on my phone. I'm not doing anything. And I'm looking and I'm looking and I turned around and like five feet away
[00:09:51] there's a giant ass black bear and he's like this thing comes to my store every three days and I'm sick of it, I'm sick of him. So I guess he knows it's him. I don't know. I said he comes in your store. Oh yeah he knocks things over.
[00:10:04] I have to chase him out but as he's chasing the, shooing the bear just going hey bear, hey bear and yelling at it. We are not even a half block off the main drag. And I'm like well you're shooing him to more people.
[00:10:19] Like it's gonna be in Baskin Robbins in about four and a half steps. It got the back of these worker guys, like construction guys. I think they had thrown their like McDonald's bags or their lunch in the back of the truck. Oh he climbed right up.
[00:10:34] He's looking in the truck and this young Mexican guy came running around the corner and hid with me behind the trash can. He's like is that real bear? I'm like oh yeah it's very real. It's very real and if it chose to,
[00:10:45] it could eat all of us as I filmed this but I'm behind the trash can and he can't see me because I'm too short. So anyway it's a wonderful trip and then they have this place called Anakista. So you can go,
[00:10:58] it's a very awesome way more modern place than I would expect for Gatlinburg cause like a lot of pigeon forge and all that is throwback stuff. Golf cards for the kids, mini golf. Yeah lots of mini golf but it's great for the kids. Bible stores it's kinda yeah.
[00:11:17] And then this Anakista thing, there's like this crazy modern art up there. There's a bar up there. There's these tree top walks which I would never do cause of fear of heights. I'm not getting on some bamboo thing. No it's not happening but people like that
[00:11:31] but you can sit up there they just put chairs out everywhere. There's little bars to go everywhere. You can have a drink and watch the whole world go by. And I met two Missouri termites up there. Yeah his shirt said Arnold, Missouri.
[00:11:47] I think it said Arnold and no not Arnold, Alton. Somewhere I never heard of. It's in the corner top corner by Iowa but they were very very nice and I took the picture for them. And on the way in and out of Gatlinburg, Buckeys, Severeville and Crossville.
[00:12:05] I went to both. Thank you for my t-shirt. You're welcome and I tried to get a new Buckeys pint glass but they were out and this guy's fading. If any of you termites, I met two termites from Ohio and the Buckeys too.
[00:12:16] They were like, are you Kathleen Madigan? And I'm like, present and accounted for. As I said, I'm always in a Buckeys if there's a Buckeys near me. We got a picture and all that. They were very cute. They were gonna go into their honeymoon
[00:12:28] to Merrill Beach and then the hurricane. So then they switched it. But it was perfect. It was like 75 degrees up there. I'm highly recommending the Smokies as a great park and a great vacation. I would just say, don't count on them to tell you to prepare.
[00:12:44] You're on your own. Call it Canadians. I'm just watching floods of chubby people heading up this thing to go to a waterfall. And I mean, there was a family, there was like this Indian family and they were all dressed up. I'm like, what would you think?
[00:12:59] It looked like they were going to a five o'clock happy hour in a country club. What are you doing? I looked at the dude's shoes. I'm like, oh no, no, no, no, no, no. But they made it. I mean, they were up there. They got a selfie.
[00:13:11] Yeah, they sure got a selfie. Oh, I took the whole family picture up there. Yeah, they want, that group, the older people like their picture to be taken. They don't like the selfie thing. Yeah, not at all. With the camera. With an old school movie camera
[00:13:27] if you happen to have one. So I stopped and like, what am I drinking? Well, I'm gonna taste this because I haven't tasted it. If you go to Gatlinburg, my favorite distillery is the Old Smoky Moonshine Distillery. And they always have a band out there with a banjo
[00:13:41] which is my favorite instrument because that's the true hillbilly. It's the only music I can dance to. Otherwise I'm a lane from Seinfeld. But when that banjo goes, I feel it. I don't know what that says about me. But anyway.
[00:13:54] I did the tasting at the old, yeah, that one. I went into the other one is called Sugar Lens and they were giving Old Smoky a rum for their money. I just prefer Old Smoky. I don't know. I don't know what probably
[00:14:06] because it's the first one I went to. But this is one of their newer Moonshines. Yeah, it's ego brunch in a jar. It's ego waffles brunch in a jar. Now I've seen this online. I didn't know where you could get it. And that's the only place you could.
[00:14:18] I got it at the other one, Sugar Land. Sugar Lens. Yeah, so they make it? Oh, I didn't realize. Oh yeah, I had a little, well, let me, there was a little ice in there to chill it. Let me do that. We'll taste it in a minute. Meanwhile,
[00:14:36] I can smell it. God, oh my God, it's very syrupy. Yeah, it smells delicious. Delicious. Yeah, and after this podcast, in my brain, I'm gonna go weed the weeds everywhere in my yard. But I don't know after this, I don't know if that plan's gonna be carried out.
[00:14:56] And I got Bucky Nuggets. Well, they call them Nuggies. They're basically white cheddar. Nuggies? Yeah, I don't even know why I applied to that job at Bucky's. I'm already doing it for free. I mean, you should see, this is another lesson from Bucky's.
[00:15:14] And then I'll shut up about Gatlinburg. I'm gonna move on. I love Gatlinburg. People say, I am so sick of being on the road, whether it's hotels or bars, wherever the hell, and people, they don't have enough employees and they go, well, nobody wants to work. Really?
[00:15:30] No, it's what you're paying. Because Bucky's, there are 50,000 people in there and it never takes you more than five minutes to check out. If you didn't know that though, you'd approach the check out and go, oh shit, I'm just leaving this.
[00:15:42] I do, no, no, number eight, number nine. Because when you look outside at the thing they pay, it's $20 and I wanted to work in the bathroom. That's awesome. Yeah, the pay is phenomenal. They're in, Severeville up there, it's not a huge population.
[00:15:58] They're three and a half hours away from Nashville or, and what, two from Knoxville. It's not like they're in a city. And somehow magically, they have enough employees. To run 129 gas pumps, there's food everywhere. There's people making food, there's a brisket station
[00:16:16] and then they yell out, brisk it on the board. And then all the people go brisk it on the board. Like it's amazing. These are wonderful Bucky Nuggets White Cheddar. Highly recommend. Bucky Nuggets. Bucky Nuggets. Say it fast three times. Bucky Nuggets, Bucky Nuggets, Bucky Nuggets.
[00:16:31] And I brought back the pork sandwich. Oh, nice. Yeah, and I heated it up. Truth be told, now I heard a lady complaining that it's 750 for the sandwich. That's a little much. But it's huge in the last days and there's so much meat on here.
[00:16:52] You sent me a picture of that three meat. I saw that. Oh, the three meat thing? That's pork, beef and turkey. It's way too much. And then they take the barbecue sauce and put it on both sides of the bun
[00:17:04] and then put the barbecue sauce on top of the thing and then squish the whole, but you could feed your whole mini pan. Spending mini pans, that's all a lot of Amish. It's wonderful. It's an A plus. You can't do any better. Yeah, it's so good.
[00:17:19] I'm gonna eat the rest later. Brisk it on the bar. This is pork though. I had the brisket on the way there. I just, I loved it, but I never love. Brisk it as much as I like a pork, barbecue pork sandwich. Yeah.
[00:17:32] That's the Missouri part coming out there. I guess we have more pigs than cows. Maybe pork was cheaper. Pork's cheaper? I don't know. The sandwiches are the same price. It depends on the day. Yeah, I don't keep up enough before I drink that shot.
[00:17:51] This person, Mindy sent me in the mail. It's the, thank you for saving the kitty cartel meaning the night guards that showed up. This is, these are toys for the cat. It's a vodka bottle and tequila bottle. Nice. Only... Kitty got it.
[00:18:12] Well, baby cat and chappo like to play. The other, not so much. There's a volunteer, she volunteers at a place called Kitty Brew in Mason, Ohio. It's a small gesture to her saying thanks for being a feral cat hero. Just had eye surgery.
[00:18:28] So I hope this type, this legibly. Otherwise, yeah. So it's a very cute t-shirt from Kitty Brew in Mason, Ohio. There's some reason I know Mason, Ohio. There's something, it might be my friend Vince, a comedian that is from there. That's adorable, right?
[00:18:51] More than, that's their slogan, more than I imagine. Well, that kind of makes you wanna go. I will say that. All right. And otherwise, this is just a regular beer. I'll do this t-shirt at the end. Them just have a regular beer with the moonshine.
[00:19:06] All right, here we go. We're gonna try it. I tasted a strawberry cream white chocolate. Moonshine up there, I would not think I would like that. It was the best out of the flight. The flight's only $5 or $7. Five, $5 and you get nine?
[00:19:22] They're mini shots, they're not like this. You'd be so hammering. Oh, wow. It kinda tastes like Baileys with syrup. Brunch in a jar. It is brunch in a jar. Yeah, believe me, two of these, you ain't eating breakfast, you're good. You don't want anything, this tastes like food.
[00:19:44] I'm also drinking out of my little shot glass that says Kathleen Brigantine Beach, New Jersey, not of my friend Dory or brother Davey. But the reason I really bought this is nobody writes Kathleen out anymore. No. Caitlin, Katie. Kay, nobody writes Kathleen.
[00:20:00] There's enough Irish people in New Jersey to keep this going on the kick. My name was finally on something. Yeah, well it should be on a shot glass. Okay, so that's all the business, I think to attend to, well we have Queen News, but before we do that,
[00:20:19] oh, because this is part of the Gatlinburg thing and then I'm sure, so by the way you take a ski lift up to the Anakisa thing and I'm a little afraid of heights. I just saw your video. Well, and then the music, their plan is,
[00:20:31] brannanak de-kernak, I'm like, oh maybe we don't have dueling banjos when I'm on a thing I don't trust anyway. How about something just, I don't know, no music or something that gives me a little more faith rather than hillbilly stuff, but anyway. So they're saying this has been
[00:20:50] a lifelong thing complaint of mine and I'm sure there's somebody that's gonna tell me why I need to shut up and that's fine. They're saying that leaning utility poles seen as a possible cause of the deadly Maui fires and there's pictures of all, and I'm not getting conspiracy-
[00:21:08] Right, no I've heard of conspiracy. There's conspiracy, Oprah did it, okay. I don't have to, here's what drives me crazy about conspiracy people. This does not count big foot, lock, nests, that I do, those things are mysteries. They're not conspiracy, like somebody put a giant eel and like,
[00:21:27] no, no, no it's just a mystery, is it exist or not? The conspiracy people, there's a couple comedians online that are going off the deep end with that shit and friends of mine, and I don't bring it up
[00:21:40] because I don't wanna get in a fight on a pleasant day, but even if you're right. Like these are just regular comedian people, not the famous ones, what are you gonna do about it? Even if you're right. So you put all this effort into
[00:22:00] and you've decided that Hillary's eating babies or whatever. In a pizza parlor in the basement or something, I who, whatever. I'm just saying what, if you're even correct, what the hell is the next step? There is no next step because of what you're saying is true,
[00:22:19] they're in control of everything. So you're just another cog in the wheel and then you're gonna get us all on board and then we're gonna what? You know, whatever. So I've heard all the conspiracies about the Maui fires. Maybe they're true, maybe they're not.
[00:22:31] The one that I would tend to believe is that the utility poles and then they had pictures of them all, but that is my complaint about driving around America. And then if you go to Anakista in Gatlinburg, they have a whole thing about the 2014 Gatlinburg fires.
[00:22:47] And they started with 80 mile an hour winds and the telephone pole snapping and boom. Psh. Yeah, the electrical lines, blah, blah, blah, blah. I don't understand why all that shit isn't underground. We say we don't have any money. Oh, well that's too expensive, we don't have any money.
[00:23:05] Well, we're giving all this money to Ukraine. You know, fine, whatever. We do have money. Just stop saying we don't have any money. Google fibers going under the ground. They were out in my yard and I didn't even okay that.
[00:23:20] I just came home and there was some jackass digging holes in the yard. I'm like, hey, hey, hey buddy. I mean, I haven't landscaped it yet. That's not that crazy. Like you're digging up something pretty. It's just grass and mud, but it's for the deer.
[00:23:32] I'm like, why, what are you doing? And it was Google fibers, so they're going under the ground. The telephone pole thing, so the Gatlinburg fire, they know was caused by that. The Maui fire maybe. And if you pay attention, because I'm obsessed with it now,
[00:23:50] the amount of telephone poles, electrical poles, whatever you want to call them, leaning, it would just take like one storm. And in Nashville, I can tell you where my house is, this does not hold true, Missouri's is better. Like growing up we'd lose power
[00:24:07] if there was an actual tornado. Nashville, it's every 10 seconds. I mean, oh shit, it's windy. Oh my God, get a flashlight. What? Yeah, power's going out, power's going out. Power goes out. I mean to the point where I called my guy,
[00:24:21] who's my favorite guy to help with stuff, and I said, hey, Avi, I need a generator. Like this is getting ridiculous. And it'll flip on when you're gone. By the way, Strymas, did you know you could get one for just one or two rooms?
[00:24:32] I thought you had to spend like 50 grand. I'm like, I ain't doing that. I'm not doing that. But no, no, no, you can get cheaper ones. I'm just way behind on this subject. A lot of people are like, well, Doug Catholic, they're right there at home,
[00:24:42] deep down, well I didn't go down that aisle. Okay? That's the no fun aisle of shit I don't understand. The grid, and then every time this happens, they just go out and refix that same pole. That's not a solution. It's a temporary band aid. Right.
[00:25:06] Anyway, just throwing that out there. Are there any termites that know the answer? Why can't we put this stuff underground so it's safe? Yep, smart termites. Follow the Google people. Just be a hack. Follow them. Wherever they dig, they already dug it.
[00:25:20] Just put your wires in behind them. Can you thread this for us? I think it would be so funny if like a Google fiber guy is laying all of his stuff and they're all doing their work and then all of a sudden you just see the natural electric
[00:25:32] going, hey buddy, you mind if we just drop some stuff in your hole that you already dug? Would that be okay? Yeah, we're good. All right, moving on, that was just a complaint, kind of a complaint if you would call it a complaint.
[00:25:47] More of an observation and a question from a non-science person. Thank you. Queen news! This is crazy. I don't really think there's anything Taylor Swift at this point cannot do. And I don't have any feelings about her father. I don't know that whole thing.
[00:26:11] I watched the documentary, seems fine to me. I don't know, maybe he's a bastard, whatever. But I don't know. She seems to favor the mom, but maybe he's more all, this is when she, in the documentary when she's gonna come out against Marsha Blackburn
[00:26:26] the senator of Tennessee and then her father and some other guy goes, what if Bob Hope had done this? And she's like, what? Like, does she ever gonna know who Bob Hope is? Hey, grandpa, why don't you get a better reference
[00:26:38] to try to speak to somebody who's 32 or whatever she is? Yeah, what if Fred Skelton had pulled this shit? Huh? What do you think would have happened to Laurel Hardy? Huh? Huh? This is what I'm talking about. Anyway, whatever the dad is, he's very, very smart.
[00:27:00] Taylor Swift and her team chose to finance and distribute the Eritor's concert film independently bypassing traditional Hollywood studios which allowed them to increase potential earnings to be the sole beneficiary of the film's profits. They just skipped the whole thing, no DreamWorks,
[00:27:17] no Lionsgate, nope, the movie will be seen in a hundred thousand theaters across the US with AMC receiving 43% of box office revenue and Taylor keeping the remainder 57. I think that could have been negotiated better. I don't like 43.57. Not when you're getting the money from your popcorn which cost $184.
[00:27:38] You need to remember what you're selling out there and how much you're gonna sell it. And it's young people, they don't care about calories, they're gonna eat all that shit. A giant Pepsi is $1849. Okay. It's by successfully negotiating their own deal and providing profitability of the concert film.
[00:27:57] The Swift has sent a clear message to studios that multiplexers can find programming without their help potentially changing the dynamics of cinema distribution. I mean this isn't even her for her realm and she's dominating it. The story about how it got there, I just find this crazy.
[00:28:17] It was led by her father Scott Swift. They directly bypassed all Hollywood studios in order to finance and distribute film themselves. The Swift's put down 10 and 20, it's between 10 and 20 million bucks to make the movie. That's a lot though.
[00:28:34] You could have done it on an iPhone, the children will go. No, I'm not kidding. The children won't care. They don't care. I guess it's gotta be in 4K. That's what I was told by Amazon. Well Kathleen, this special needs to be in 4K.
[00:28:49] I'm like, you got it man. I have no idea what you're talking about. You're all Casey. What about 1K? How much does that cost? How about no case? Hmm? Like a no case. They cut out the middleman, they negotiated their own deal
[00:29:09] and then they expanded the thing, expanded the tour. By engaging directly with AMC, they have significantly reduced their expenses while increasing their potential earnings in there. Now the sole beneficiaries, blah, blah. I mean, that's amazing. And it doesn't say, I gotta see when it comes out.
[00:29:26] Cause then my friend Bob was like, oh me and Clark are going. I'm like simmer down little chicken. I don't think it comes out till October 13th. Did Google it? Yeah, oh yeah. It's gonna hit theaters, but on October 13th. But tickets went on sale after this announcement.
[00:29:45] And wait a minute. The dad contacted the CEO of AMC with a crazy idea. It's a great idea. Why do you need it? All the studio is gonna do is distribute it. I'm over distributors. I'm totally over it. The exorcist swapped out their release date
[00:30:03] so they don't compete with it. That's what they should do. That's what these other women that are on tour. I would have said, tell me when that lady leaves the country and then I'll get off my couch. But as long as she's in this country,
[00:30:15] I'm not doing it if your music is like hers. If it's not... They're calling it exorcift. They're calling it exorcift. That's amazing. That's great. It's anticipated the movie will, it made 30 million on the first film It made 30 million on the first day of sales. Shit, that's crazy.
[00:30:36] This will anger major Hollywood studios because it has the potential to rewrite the rules of movie distribution with pundits already asking who might be the next to follow. I don't know, Rich. Anybody that's got enough money to make your own movie. You gotta be popular enough.
[00:30:51] Well then AMC, here's where the old school people don't really get what's happening with Tay-Tay. They said their apps were totally ready. The ticket buying will go off without a problem. Oh no. Yep. Call ticket master. No. She made the announcement in an Instagram post.
[00:31:13] It's had five million likes in under seven hours. It's sparked a mad dash for the tickets who previously caused ticket master app to crash. AMC claimed that it has bolstered its ticket server capacity to handle the traffic and more than five times the current
[00:31:33] for the most tickets ever sold an hour. However, customers experienced long line to even access the app what others were met with a message stating that online reservations were unavailable. So the app crashed. They thought they did it. No, whatever you think, you gotta do double.
[00:31:51] Yeah, think again. It overwhelmed the... It overwhelmed the app to such an extent that there's no way to simply load the app. Her power, someone tweeted. Yeah. I'm glad the Swifties are having fun, but please think of those you're hurting. I cannot access my bottoms ticket for tonight
[00:32:16] on the AMC app. So other people were just trying to get their regular tickets. Yeah. Yeah. Amazing. What's the power of the children? In other Queen news, before we move on to some updates. Dolly Parton refused to have tea with Kate Middleton. I said that. Oh, gosh.
[00:32:37] Not even the Princess of Wales could get an audience with the Queen of Country. Dolly Parton, she's 77 years old, told BBC Radio 2 that she received an invite while she was in London for work where revealed she was unable to make it. This time, Lordy, I even got invited
[00:32:53] to have tea with Kate but I couldn't go. I thought it was very sweet of her to invite me and one of these days I'm gonna get to go, that would be great. But she wasn't gonna promote my rock album so I had to say no. Good girl.
[00:33:06] If you're Kate, why not just do it? But I guess they're not allowed to. The Royals aren't. But you could do it subtly. You don't have to be like, buy her a rock album. You could have done like, oh, do you have any projects coming up?
[00:33:21] Are you busy? Do you have anything you'd like to talk about? Right. I have a rock album on the table. She would, I'm sure she's like, okay now we're gonna promote the shit out of my record, right? I'm afraid we can't do any of those things.
[00:33:35] We're actually royalty. Kind of. Kind of if you believe in that. Update! Oh my gosh, termites. I need some more mojito. So the Loch Ness Monster thing went out. The whole brigade, like I said last podcast, they were gonna send it all, and volunteer children, everybody was gone.
[00:34:01] We didn't really get much from that. We got sounds, noises, however. And I believe this woman, because of why she didn't release her photos initially. This is why I believe her now. A sighting of the Loch Ness Monster has resulted in photos being called
[00:34:17] the most exciting ever by those on the hunt for the fabled creature. Fabled. Fabled. Uh huh. Elusive is what I would say. The photo show is serpent-like animal with its body on the surface of the Loch. We're actually taking in 2018, but photographer Chee Kelly, 51 years old,
[00:34:36] kept them to herself in fear of public ridicule. Yeah. Yeah, because if you want to take that bullshit, I mean half the time I won't even send out a tweet because I don't want to deal with the bullshit.
[00:34:48] You're gonna put up pictures of what you say is a Loch. The whole world is gonna have something to say about this and maybe you don't want that headache. That's what makes me believe her because she was sensible enough to go, mm, mm, about all this.
[00:35:00] However, now that there's a large ongoing search for the famed water beast, Kelly, a translator, was convinced to put the photos out into the world. She and her husband Scott were having lunch at the doors in on the banks of the Loch
[00:35:12] in Inverness in 2018 when she started taking the photos. I was just taking pictures with my Canon camera of Scott and our daughter Alyssa, who was five then, went about 200 meters from the shore, moving right to left at a steady speed was a creature.
[00:35:26] It was spinning and rolling at the time. We never saw a head or a neck. After a couple minutes, it just disappeared and we never saw it again. And there's pictures of it and whatever this is, it's huge. Really? Yes. And there are definitely two humps.
[00:35:39] You do not see a head or a neck. Wow. While she couldn't get an image clearly showing the beast's length, she estimated that the two parts were visible less than two meters long combined. At first I wondered if it was an otter or a pair
[00:35:51] of otters or a seal, but we never saw a head, but we did not hear any sound. There were these strange shapes below the surface. I could not make any cut. The water is very dark. Yeah, you're very dark. And then when the clouds come in, even darker,
[00:36:05] even when it's sunny, it's dark. It's just dark water. She said the thing was moving at a steady speed. When she photographed the rare moment she shared the snaps with Steve Feldman who's dedicated over 30 years of his life ever since quitting his job
[00:36:19] and selling his Dors at home. Okay, I'm not gonna go that far. And it's just like, there's a few people in living and trailers on little Winnebago type deals on Loch Ness and they make little Loch Ness creatures they sell. And that's the only reason they went there
[00:36:35] and they're not leaving ever until they see it. Okay. Yep. So after that pair from again. Well you should go look at her pictures. We'll put them in the schnotes. Schnotes? Yeah. She held them back because I get it. You know, Nessie enthusiast continued to explore the lake
[00:36:53] despite not having much success in substantiating the lake. It's also like Google how deep it is. It's like what the deepest lake I've ever heard of. I mean, it's like not quite as deep as the ocean but. 745 feet. 745 feet. And you can access through the lock.
[00:37:11] I believe eventually you get to the ocean. If I'm right. Update! Thank you for any Canadian termites. That's 227 meters. No problem. Update! Buster Murdaugh, the Murdaugh murders in South Carolina. Best podcast ever my friend Mandy Matney. Well Buster went on some Fox documentary.
[00:37:43] He said his dad's a psychopath but not a murderer. Now tomorrow today's Labor Day full disclosure. And I'm working. See that's not right. Tomorrow, which will be Tuesday so by the time you hear this we will know what happened. There's supposed to be a big press conference
[00:38:03] by those two old don't trust just so to know back with Southern lawyer. Two lawyers, those Southern guys that are just so Southern. Just dripping with everything. That's not positive about that image. They say they have brand new evidence
[00:38:26] that the dad didn't kill the son and the wife and tomorrow a huge press conference. Go get a second trial, he's gonna be cleared. Well I would be very curious as to what that is cause I don't see how there's any other result than the one we got.
[00:38:40] He's not giving up on his father though even though he's calling him a sociopath. Yeah. And he said I don't think he could be affiliated with endangering my mother and brother. Well how about when he lied and he said he wasn't at the dog kennel.
[00:38:56] And then on the stand admitted he was and he totally lied. You were down at the dog kennels where they got murdered. Okay, well if somebody else did it who was there? Right. Oh he thinks there's still a killer out there. Oh my God. All right Buzz.
[00:39:13] Well I mean it's the kid. He's not a child. He looks to be in his 20s. I think it would be a hard time accepting that your parent murdered your brother. The week after his dad was arrested he was at the Georgia court.
[00:39:26] Yeah the week after his dad was arrested. Yeah he said it's a Tennessee game right? Apple, no. No, Georgia. Georgia? The apple don't fall far. Well, oh it's on Fox Nation. Yeah. Well I still have Fox Nation cause I paid for it
[00:39:44] cause I wanted to see Roseanne's special and I keep forgetting to cancel it so now I can go watch this. Yeah. I just, I don't know if you're a kid you might have a hard time. I'll tell you who doesn't have a hard time.
[00:39:58] The BTK killer's daughter, Carrie Rossin. That lady is on it and she's back on Twitter I don't know why she had to take that little break. Her dad drew pictures, I get to it but pictures of people in a barn. Well not people, a woman like tied up.
[00:40:12] They found these drawings but anyway Carrie the daughter is like yeah he did all this and then some and I'm gonna find out what else he did before he's dead. Blah blah blah, she's showing. Does that, they're trying to find the barn.
[00:40:24] They're like it's either in Missouri, Kansas or maybe Iowa I think. That was his stomping ground. So Buster had said his dad told everyone that he was not at the Kennels that night. Buster also said he had nothing to do with the murder of his classmate,
[00:40:42] Steven Smith, a 19 year old gay man whose body was found on a rural road miles from the Murdoch state. Smith's mother, that's the gay kid's mom said that for years she believes the Murdoch family is somehow involved in his death.
[00:40:58] I never had anything to do with his murder. I never had, cause they're saying he might have had a gay relationship with that boy. This Buster kid and he says no, I'm not gay at all. Blah blah blah, he's such a whiner though.
[00:41:09] I don't wanna be rude here but if you have been accused of murdering somebody, well let me tell you this is very, very, very, very, it's a very terrible place thing to place on somebody with absolutely no fact. I mean it has harmed my reputation.
[00:41:22] Still the elite, your reputation, I mean people perceive me as a murderer, well. There you go. Prove, you shouldn't have to prove you didn't do something. But you have been put in a position now that that might be who view Alex Murdoch's older brother said earlier
[00:41:43] that he thinks Alex is still lying about the brutal slaves. So his brother thinks he did it. He knows more than he's saying, he's not telling the truth. So there you go, tomorrow's a big announcement. Can't wait to hear what they got.
[00:42:02] But this is, he's a narcissist sociopath. So it's never gonna stop with this guy. It's just gonna keep, I didn't do it, I didn't do it, I didn't do it, yeah, yeah, yeah. We have three updates, stick with me. No, I'll, we'll do something more fun right now
[00:42:17] because these are trader updates and they're intense. Do I get some eggnog? Update! Eggnog, no. Mark Zuckerberg's new return to office mandate is a clear problem. It'll cause just huge amount of distrust. And then here's the, if he is not an animatron,
[00:42:32] I mean there's just, look at the picture of him. He's always like, don't, if you ever watched Star Trek, The Next Generation, he's data from Star Trek. He's not, you know, the latest one does not reflect well. He's trying to get everybody to come back.
[00:42:49] Nobody wants to, employees can still reapply for full time remote status. It noted but you're probably not gonna get it. The whiplash has caused so many, whiplash is caused by so many public policy changes. In a short period of time,
[00:43:03] it's likely to cause a huge amount of distrust in leadership and the institution and it's not surprising. Meta did not immediately respond to make its requests for comments, leaders must make sure that they're practicing transparency and their actions match their word, establishing trustworthiness is essential part
[00:43:21] of being a leader. Yeah, an empathy problem for CEOs everywhere. CEOs, I don't care what your problems are. You're making 50 bazillion times more than the average person. And now you're gonna whine about something? Not a good time to be doing that. So he's, I'll get to it too
[00:43:41] because the Amazon guy is screaming too. You gotta come back to work. Well, no, he's not the CEO anymore. Right, we'll get to it. Update! Former proud boy leader, Joe Biggs, sobs during his sentence as he's given 17 years in prison. Yep, and I think, wait one of them,
[00:44:09] let me make sure this, okay wait, this one is the one I like the best. This guy, a self-described sergeant and arms of the proud boys and member of a far right extremist group were sentenced to a combined, so this is all the guys,
[00:44:24] to a combined 28 years in federal prison for their role in the January 6th right at the Capitol in 2021. Ethan Norden, the leader of the Seattle chapter of the proud boys, was sentenced to 18 years in prison and released, and three years of supervised release. Prosecutors on Friday called him
[00:44:40] the undisputed leader on the ground. He got really, really crabby about all this and when he was sentenced, first he cried and said I am not a violent person, blah, blah, and then they have all this shit where he's just, you know, yeah, hitting cops and going crazy
[00:44:56] and then on his way out, he yelled Trump won. Well, all he did was remind me because I just watched How to Become a Cult Leader on Netflix and there was one of the episodes that was about Charles Vance and no matter what happened in the courtroom,
[00:45:10] the girls would just yell, free Charlie, free Charlie. And then eventually they got kicked out of the courtroom. They're like, okay, freaks, you're next, you're all going to jail too, but for right now, shut your weird cult mouths and they put them, so then outside the courtroom,
[00:45:27] they'd walk around, free Charlie, okay, Trump won, you screamed that on the way out. Good luck with that. That's not gonna help if you try to get your probation thing going that you're next hearing. Oh, did you yell Trump wrong after you were sentenced and crying? Maybe, maybe.
[00:45:44] There were three of them sentenced. Another guy got 10 years. Trump, he's a proud boy, Spaz. He's the one who screamed Trump won as he's jailed for 10 years. Right, he's the one who's, he lit up a cigar and a victory smoke
[00:46:01] after breaking into the Capitol with a riot shield. And after he got sentenced, he did that. Yeah, free Charlie, free Charlie. Well, it's all people Louis' age, my friend Louis, the comedian. And I'm like, Louis, what was wrong with your parents
[00:46:20] that you all just ran off and joined cults? Like these girls are totally attractive. You could have done anything with your life. And then they're like, oh, their parents were doctors and lawyers and nurses. Like successful people. And you're living in a dirt van with Charlie
[00:46:35] out in the desert of California, like hey, we're gonna start a race war. Like what the fuck happened from point A to point B and Louis like, oh, I don't know. You know, a lot of our parents were really conservative and we just didn't wanna do that anymore.
[00:46:50] Okay, get that. Wear your tie dye T-shirt and smoke your weed on Saturdays. But that doesn't mean you go live with Charlie. That's crazy, crazy. And I said to Louis, and he actually listened to me and he was serious. I go, this is a serious question, Louis.
[00:47:08] How many people do you know? Louis is in his mid 70s. I said, how many people do you know that joined a cult? And he goes, well, let me think. Yeah, think about it. Deposit, he was very serious. He goes, four or five?
[00:47:26] He said, I'm not sure if my friend Carol kept following that fat Indian child. What did you just say? So I Googled fat Indian child guru and the guy's picture came up. Put in fat Indian, that's what his words, not mine. I'm not being racist.
[00:47:47] I'm just saying what Lou told me that was the best of his recollection. Fat Indian child guru. What's his name? He was a chubster. Guru Mahari G Akama Prem Rawat. Gui Mahar G Rakhma Hani. Prem Rawat. Prem Rawat? Well, how long was he famous?
[00:48:10] He did not endorse yoga. Oh, he did not endorse yoga. I mean, not think an Indian guru would be against that. You guys kind of brought that over. Slowly gonna put this in the show. Yeah, so he had a friend who followed that guy around.
[00:48:25] Yeah, go watch it. If you haven't seen that. That's fantastic. How to be a cult. And Peter Dinklage narrates it. Oh, cool. I always forget he's American because in Game of Thrones, he had the perfect British accent. I bought it hook, line and see her.
[00:48:39] I thought he was really British. No, he's American. So the proud boys are going down in flames. That's what you get for beating up cops and trespassing. That's what you get. And what's weird is there are always the ones that say go blue, like pro police.
[00:48:56] But not that day. Nope. No, it can change on a dime. How long was he famous? He did not make the Netflix series. There are like four cult leaders in there I never heard of. There's the all run of the mill guys. Jim Jones, Charlie Manson.
[00:49:16] I am so gonna watch this. Is there a show about him? No, no, no. I mean, I'm gonna show, I would pull that here, show. Oh, how to be a cult leader. It's a great show. And the editing, there's children. It's always the youngsters where they're picking clips
[00:49:31] to put in like to be a good cult leader when it's Peter Dinklage. You're going to have to make sure that everyone conforms to the same idea. And then they'll just be this clip, not just of sheep, that sounds hacky, but like of something where everyone's conformed,
[00:49:45] like a football game and everybody's in the same uniform. It's just, the editing was great. And I don't ever notice stuff like that. I only noticed when it's bad, but this was great. You gotta be something about this guy. We'll find out. The fat Indian child? Maharashi. Maharashi?
[00:50:00] Well, I thought Maharashi is like a common... It is, it means king. It means king. Okay, look at me knowing some Indian. Yeah, great. Yeah, I don't know what was going on. Lou was born in, I don't know, 48, 51. Like what the hell happened
[00:50:21] so you would have been a 20 years old, say call it 1970. So they're child children of the 60s. And then the 70s is when it went bonkers with the cults. Everybody, yeah, it's crazy. Yeah, I said to Louis, did you ever think about it? He goes, no, no, no.
[00:50:37] I mean, I'd go to a meeting if I heard they had good food. That's what I love about Louis. It doesn't matter what the group is. I heard they have a wonderful beef sandwich and I gotta get down there before the good stuff is gone.
[00:50:53] Holy shit, they found it. That's all my updates. Student helps uncover rare 30 million year old whale fossil while at her family's farm in Alabama. What? A high school student and her biology teacher recently discovered a 30 million year old fossil
[00:51:10] while whale skeleton on a farm owned by the student's family in Monroe County. The Alabama School of Math and Science reported an oppressed release. The whale which could be 20 feet long will take at least three to four years to excavate. Oh my God.
[00:51:24] And it could be the first of its kind found in Alabama. Lindsay Stallworth has been collecting fossils on her family land for as long as she can remember when we'd go out and pick up sharks, teeth and fossil shells, but we never knew anyone
[00:51:36] that could tell us anything about them. We just thought they were cool. Fortunately, one of the biology faculty members at school is now a paleontologist who studied Alabama fossils as a childhood. He is part of the distinguished three-methe department and last year
[00:51:50] the legendary made headlines for leading the research team into a previously unknown species of giant freshwater turtle that inhabited the state at the time of dinosaurs. Wow. Yeah, that's amazing. Good for her. Yeah. Yeah, she's a very, very young person. Look at the youngsters doing good stuff. Yeah.
[00:52:10] Yeah. She followed a trail of bone fragments up a hill and it let right to several large bones eroding out of the soil. It's a complete skeleton of a whole whale. That's amazing. Yeah, I would not think of that in Alabama
[00:52:24] or in Tennessee or any, I don't know. I wouldn't think of it at all, really. Holy shit, they found it. It's the science part. It's the science part, I know. I prefer primitive thinking. Yeah. It's much easier. It's fine. A 15 million year old skull
[00:52:39] of a prehistoric sea creature was just found on a Maryland beach. Well, not God damn it. I walked Ocean City, Maryland beach and I didn't find anything. Nope. Nope. When you go to the beach, you often find tons of seashells,
[00:52:52] a whole lot of sea glass and perhaps some seaweed. But it's not every day that you stumble upon a prehistoric skull. Well, that's what happened earlier this month when Emily Bizadek and her friend discovered a 15 million year old skull at a Maryland beach.
[00:53:07] The 50 pound 2.5 long skull is believed to belong to a long extinct dolphin-like animal that swam in a shallow sea that once covered most of Maryland. And it could have come from a species that is still undiscovered. Wow. Wow. How do you know it's a skull? Exactly.
[00:53:28] They were out at low tide hunting for seashells and stuff. She took a photo and sent it to one of her friends. He helped confirm the finding. Fewer than 100 similar skulls have been found making her discovery a rare one. Plus, they aren't usually uncovered in such complete condition.
[00:53:46] It's a much more noteworthy souvenir than most of us are used for bringing home for the beach. Wow. Yeah. Amazing. Let's go. Moving on because I got a lot. I got so many things. I'm going to have to move something next week.
[00:53:58] This makes me laugh because the NFL season has started and I have my Kansas City Chief Friendship bracelet. I also got one at Buckeys. I was going to get one for Bob and Clark, but the Buckeys ones are kind of super feminine. They might feel weird wearing that.
[00:54:14] Not true believers. Yeah. Well, they're not true believers in Buckeys either, but they haven't got the chance to experience it. These are chiefs that say Chief's Kingdom. I love the Casey Wolf. I can't support the Casey Wolf. He's a criminal. He's a criminal.
[00:54:29] I'm going to change these letters around and spell something else. This is the guy. The Casey Wolf. It's the mascot. Is it also their mascot? The chiefs? I am, but I never noticed. Well, when I was a kid it used to be probably something else.
[00:54:45] And then it says I love the chiefs. Speaking of NFL. Also ripped off from Taylor's wedding. This is all ripped off from Taylor. Yeah, I know. And don't think that at my age I don't feel a little dumb running around in these.
[00:54:57] But I'll do it because it's fun. Oh my god. This is crazy. Casey Wolf? Well, I'm thinking of the criminal guy that dressed like the Casey Wolf and then robbed all these bags. This makes me laugh so hard. You go, Wisconsin.
[00:55:13] If you know the NFL, if you don't, I know a lot of people don't care about sports. So I never make these long. Just from headlines though, you probably have heard. Aaron Rodgers left Green Bay and he will not be playing for the New York Jets.
[00:55:25] And the Green Bay, Wisconsin people are very sad little chickens. And they should be sad. Although I believe in their but the next guy, Jordan Love. I do. I have faith in him. And Aaron's getting old. And he's a pain in the ass.
[00:55:38] How much am I willing to put up with as a fan? You would just have to only watch the games and not watch anything else that comes out of his mouth because, oh, he can really, really. Yes. And sufferable can be the word.
[00:55:51] On nights when Aaron Rodgers loses, this Milwaukee bar will pay your bar tab. Yes, there are some caveats. Jackson Merrick and Paul Bunn, Milwaukee's Lowry's side has posted a heck of an offer for the upcoming NFL season. It does require you to cheer against former Packers
[00:56:11] quarterback Aaron Rodgers. But we suspect this won't be too difficult for anyone. The Jets lose, you win promotion is pretty simple. If the Jets lose with Aaron Rodgers under center, the bar picks up your tab, entire tab seriously. There are some caveats.
[00:56:28] First, you have to open your bar tab 15 minutes before the Jets game and stay in the bar to watch the whole game. Fair enough. Aaron Rodgers must be starting for the promotion to kick in. Absolutely fair. And the Jets must lose for patrons to get their tab paid.
[00:56:43] Also, patrons must, well, they already said that. This deal does not include food. It excludes top shelf liquor and doesn't work on Sundays where the Packers and Jets play at the same time. OK. Because they don't want all the people just saying, they want Packers fans.
[00:57:00] Yeah, the bar, understandably, is going to show the Packers games on those dates. I'm so great. That's awesome. Oh, my God. Good. Get on down there, Wisconsinites. Get on down to Jax American Pub with a lower east side. I'm going. Jax American Pub. I love it.
[00:57:19] Because where am I going? I'm going Madison. Eau Claire. No, I was already in Milwaukee. So recently. Do you want to see the pandas in DC at the zoo? Have you seen them? I never have. Do you want to? I have. You've seen them?
[00:57:36] Yeah, a long time ago. Long time ago? Well? Probably another set of pandas. Probably. Probably two sets ago. Probably like the Chinese Zoo. It's probably a small person, a little person in a panda suit. Totally waving at you. Yeah. They were on loan as it turns out,
[00:57:55] and the Chinese are recalling them back to China. Stop it. You better get there by December 7th. All three pandas at the National Zoo are scheduled to leave by December 7th. In accordance with an agreement with the China Wildlife Conservatives Association,
[00:58:11] a zoo official confirms the agreement has already been extended several times, including most recently in 2020. When it announced the pandas would have three more years to call the district home. They first arrived in 1972, setting off pandemonium. Get it? In the DC. The animals have been celebrities.
[00:58:27] Well then I'm going because I'm doing DC October 21st. I'm doing a Warner Theater. It's very fancy. I'm very proud of myself when I get that. Yeah, I'm going to go see them. I didn't know that we were on a timeline here.
[00:58:40] They are working on with our Chinese partners to develop a giant new panda program. Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba. They're trying to work on a deal to keep the pandas here forever. Well, I don't know. Things don't seem so kosher right now.
[00:58:54] I don't know that we're going to. No. Yeah. Try it. Try out of that one. Speaking of animals, well, let me find the other one because this is tied into the zoo thing. Komodo dragons take center stage at Nashville Zoo. Feeding Komodo dragons takes the awareness, planning,
[00:59:14] and apprehension that an explosives experts brings to dissembling a ticking time bomb. This is just to feed them. Wow. What's happening? That's crazy. The giant lizards are the new featured attraction at the Nashville Zoo. They can grow up to 10 feet and 300 pounds
[00:59:32] and are so smart that they can learn their names and respond to vocal commands. Wow. Uh-huh. They're typically friendly, even allowing zookeepers to stroke their backs like you would to pet a dog, but they could be temperamental. Lethal predators with shark-like teeth structures
[00:59:47] and poisonous saliva accompanying their bites. Oh my god. Sharon Stones, now ex-husband, famously found himself on the wrong end of a Komodo dragon attack in 2001. What? Oh my god. Where was he? The Galapagloss Islands or whatever it's called? They're turtles. Yeah. No, they have Komodo dragons there.
[01:00:08] I think. Well, because they're giant dragons. I mean, this is how it works to feed them. A team of two zoo staffers uses large plastic riot gear shields and giant sticks for protection when they inch into the Komodo dragon exhibit to feed them meals of frozen rats.
[01:00:33] Oh, god. It's the latest addition in the National Zoo. It costs $4.5 million dollars, and it's touted as the largest exhibit of any kind of its space in the Americas. So if you want to, do you want to? It's two adult males, and they're going to add more. Wow.
[01:00:53] This guy who's in charge said he raves about the dragon's intelligence. I can be in a crowd of people. Well, didn't you watch Game of Thrones? Her dragons did whatever she said. Exactly. He goes, I could be in a crowd of people and whistle and say,
[01:01:05] hey, little Sebastian. And he'll pick his head up and look at me. Little Sebastian, the largest dragon, the dragon on display is nine feet long and is named in honor of the miniature horse from the TV show Parks and Rec. Wow.
[01:01:19] When food comes around though, they become primordial. In the wild, dragons have a sense of smell, showing the ability to find a carcass five miles away. Oh. Mm-hmm. Oh my god. The plan is to eventually add a carcass feeding at the zoo.
[01:01:34] With a goat, hind and a hung, so spectators can understand how the dragons feed in the wild. Oh my god. Mm-hmm. There are between 3,000 and 5,000 of the endangered lizards living in the wild. They're relatively easy to breed in a zoo. Well, where do they live?
[01:01:54] Google where do the real ones live? Yeah. Well, I thought so. I thought they were in there. Could we? You do that. Indonesian islands. Indonesian islands. Or the Galapagos. The island of Komodo. Komodo. There's an island called Komodo. Huh. They live in Indonesia. OK.
[01:02:20] Do they live in the USA? Only in zoos. Only in zoos. Do they live in USA? They're in Gatlinburg. Ha ha ha ha. Mississippi Alligators Hunt is Bag, a 14-foot long and this thing is a monster. Wow. This is a great story because it's legal.
[01:02:40] They have gator seasons and all that stuff. He dictated everything we did. It was exhausting. But your adrenaline is going so you don't notice. Now, these guys' boat, it's a John boat. I mean, a tiny boat. Like what there was a show about gator hunting,
[01:02:55] I forget what it was called. Swamp? Swamp creatures. Swamp people? Swamp people? Yeah. Swamp people. Yeah. When a Mississippi alligator hunter set out on the opening day of the season of August 25th, he had no idea he'd meet up with the largest alligator ever
[01:03:15] officially recorded in the state. He also did not know it would take him and three other men in his party seven hours to get this thing in the boat. We got on the right water right at dark. We were seeing a lot of alligators.
[01:03:30] It was a calm night. We saw a lot of eight footers, 10 footers. But that's not what we were after. Woods, he's the guy who had the license, the tag, was hunting on the Yazoo River with Joey so and so and so and so.
[01:03:42] He said they've harvested plenty of big alligators so they weren't going to settle for something smaller on the first night. We went hunting these things a long time. We've killed a lot of 12 footers. However, it wasn't long before they saw one that got their attention.
[01:03:55] I knew he was wide. His back was humongous. It was like we were following a John boat. John meaning J.O.N. Tiny little boat for people, little aluminum thing. At 9 p.m., they got the alligator on the hook and next seven hours resulted in broken lines,
[01:04:10] broken tackle and a broken state record. We held onto him until a while until 10 or so. He broke my rod at that point. We hooked him eight or nine, 10 times and he kept breaking off. He would go down, sit, he kept going under logs.
[01:04:23] He knew what he was doing. The crazy thing is he stayed in the same spot. There was no moving him. We couldn't do anything. He dictated everything. The fight went through and night until the next morning. He said the alligator started tiring by then
[01:04:37] and it couldn't have happened at a better time because all their rods and reels were unusable. Oh my God. We're pretty much down to those two rods and reels. At 3.30 a.m., they were able to get the alligator in the boat, secure it and dispatch it.
[01:04:52] They had him in the boat at 4 a.m. And again, they were getting a better understanding of its size but not fully. We knew we had a big one but we didn't realize how big, until we saw how big its head was. It was surreal.
[01:05:03] Once they landed, they measured it. It was in the 14 foot range. That's crazy. And then the great thing is they're donating all the meat and everything about the gator which they do have a hunting season because you don't want too many of them.
[01:05:21] Believe me, they can get out of hand real quickly to the local food bank and stuff. Oh, that's great. Yeah, so it can feed all kinds of people. I had that article but I don't know what I did with it. That's cool.
[01:05:33] Yeah, they did a good thing with it. So good for them. And you should just go look to see the size of this zig-tad. I mean, the fact that they still fought it. Now in swamp people, when they would get her hunt, they would shoot it like a 22
[01:05:47] before they pulled it in the boat. They didn't mention any of that. So there's a chance they pulled it in the boat and then duct tape its mouth shut but it's still gonna flop around. 800 pounds is crazy. Yeah. Amazon CEO reportedly told employees, remote employees,
[01:06:09] it's probably not gonna work out for you. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has a message to employees who don't wanna return to the office. It's not going to work out for you. While Amazon ordered its employees to return to the office for three days
[01:06:24] starting in May, many Amazon employees weren't happy about decision. Thousands of workers signed a petition against the mandate and staged a walkout in response. This clearly has not changed Amazon's position on the matter. In a recording of the meeting obtained by the insider Jassy told its worker,
[01:06:40] it's past the time to disagree and commit. And if you can't disagree and commit, it's probably not gonna work out for you at Amazon because we are going back to the office at least three days a week. Oh wow. Mm-hmm. Yeah. That's not awful.
[01:06:59] But it's also coming from a person who's not used to be able to dictate my terms. Okay, I'm gonna come in Mondays from 11 to four and I'm bringing my dog and my neighbor's dog and two of my cats. Okay? I love that they do that.
[01:07:15] Cause most of the time they're like fine, bring the cats, just keep, you know, they will acquiesce if you become staunch enough in your standings. He says a lady who works for herself. Right, I don't know. I'm rooting the kids off of that. Paytake bought this store for,
[01:07:30] their store for $4 is estimated to sell for up to 250,000. Wow. I know. I don't go to thrift stores though. I'm not against them. They just creep me out. They do, they creep me out. There's a weird smell in there and I can't smell anything in general.
[01:07:47] I don't know. I just feel like something bad happened. Sometimes. Sometimes. And like, I don't know. If I go in a store where it's new stuff, nothing's happened yet. No. Nope, there's no history. No. No. I bought a mirror one time at a thrift shop
[01:08:01] in Hermosa Beach and I don't know. I didn't like the vibe. I took it back. Thankfully the guy was a stoner, Eddie. He was like, no problem. Mirrors can be fucked up. He's totally fine. I'm like, I don't even need my money back. Just can you take it?
[01:08:19] He's like just pick on something else. You want it? I got like a 1920 stand up ashtray. It was the coolest thing I've ever seen. Awesome. Yeah. You need that in a one bedroom apartment when you're 25 years old. Would you like to use my ashtray?
[01:08:37] A rare painting found in purchase for $4 at the thrift store will go up for auction in September for $250,000. The painting is an original Nuell Converse Wyeth that a woman found while shopping at a Savers thrift store in Manchester, New Hampshire back in 2017.
[01:08:54] Now six years later, Bonham Skinner has listed the painting will go up for auction on September 19th. She remains anonymous. She said she found the bargain in a deal stacked of damaged posters and prints at a thrift store and joked that it could be real
[01:09:07] to what she told the Boston Globe. The painting served as art hanging in her bedroom before it spent time collecting dust into her closet till last May when she posted a picture on a Facebook group. Someone in the group recognized it
[01:09:20] and after experts familiar with the Wyeth looked over it, it was revealed that the $4 was actually real. Wow. Yeah, that's a reason to go I guess. Yeah. Right, why not? We're gonna do that. A diamond on auction. Very excited about this.
[01:09:37] Is this the blue one you're talking about? It's the blue diamond. Well, it's one of them but the infinite blue diamond could fetch it. Do you have $37 million to our minds? No. No. I don't either. Hong Kong, it's called Hong, this story is coming out of Hong Kong.
[01:09:52] It's 11.28 carats. It's a ring, it's gorgeous. Pink and red stones have dominated auction headlines in 2023 but a blue diamond is set to have its moment. It's blue but it has pink all around it. Sotheby's Hong Kong will offer the 11 carat infinite blue diamond in a single lot sale
[01:10:12] on October 5th. It's expected to sell between 26 and 30, set $7 million. And I like to use some sort of creepy accent when I say these things because well that's how the auctioneers sound to me. We've got the infinite blue. Start the bidding at $7.
[01:10:31] It was purposely cut to include the number eight in the carat weight which is considered to be auspicious and auspicious number in Asia. The number which turned on its side is the symbol of infinity. It's also responsible for the diamond's name too.
[01:10:49] So we will keep up termites and we will see how much this sells for. The infinite blue joins a small group of blue diamonds, weighing more than 10 carats from the mine that have appeared at auction. There was one the blue moon of Josephine.
[01:11:05] It sold for 48 million and the D-bears blue sold for 57 million. Wow. We shall see. I will keep you updated. Thank you. I like to see if the owners say who did it or if they choose to remain anonymous. You mean who bought it?
[01:11:22] Yeah, yeah, like who, the new owners, I mean I wanna know who bought it. Who minded it? Right, Mattel. Are you guys into Mattel? Things, movies? The highest grossing movie. Barbie, I know I haven't seen it. I just can't even imagine why I would go.
[01:11:40] Why would I do that? I don't know, maybe it's not what I think. Have more moonshine. No, I'm not having more moonshine. No, I'm gonna have more moonshine, you'll go. No, then I would, yeah. Mattel's first ever theme park is opening in Arizona
[01:11:54] in 2024, complete with a life-size Barbie beach house and pulse-pounding Hot Wheels roller coaster. Yeah, it's called the Mattel Adventure Park. It'll be home to an array of attractions, constructions underway on a nine-acre attraction and which will open at the VAI Resort Hotel Complex near Phoenix.
[01:12:17] The Barbie beach house is gonna be one of the biggest attraction. The plastic fashion doll clearly has a lot of fans with the movie making, oh my God, it's raked in more than a billion? Yeah. Holy shit. People like Barbie. I thought it was for kids. No!
[01:12:32] I know it's not for kids now but I still don't understand why I would go. It's for you. It's for you. Oh, the Barbie beach house attraction features a rooftop bar and restaurant where the visitors can sip on a signature pink beverage
[01:12:46] and take an expansive view of the surroundings. The first of the Hot Wheels roller coasters, there's gonna be two, meanwhile, and then they go through, oh God, it goes 84 feet in the air, oh no, no, no. Then there's another roller coaster.
[01:13:02] If you're into Mattel, I guess this is another attraction inspired by Masters in the Universe action figures. Yeah, finally there's a mini golf experience of nine holes inspired by Magic, eight ball toy, I remember that, and the Pictionary board game. I never played Pictionary. Maybe once or twice.
[01:13:24] I don't know, are you guys into it? It's pretty cool. Well. Better than six plays. I don't know. No, six plays is great if you're into rides. That's what, the one by my house, it was one in Eureka, Missouri, and we would get a pass in the summer.
[01:13:40] And then my mom would drop us off at like seven in the morning, it's probably 100 degrees. We had to, you could bring your own lunch and I'd probably have $5 and she'd say, meet me back here at five. I'm coming to get all you assholes. Okay, great.
[01:13:54] And we would go in the park all day. So lovely. Yeah, just a delicate flower, my mom. Just a sweet, sweet as a hallmark movie. But I mean we didn't have phones or nothing. We're just okay. We would ask somebody what time it is,
[01:14:08] make sure you're back by five. No problem. Okay. But this is one that'll make you just wanna vomit. So if you watch the show, Painkiller, or Painkillers, I never know what it's called. Painkiller. I think it was on Netflix. Matthew Broderick plays the head of the Sackler family
[01:14:28] and they're the ones with the OxyContin who made the whole plan to get it out there and then they had to pay billions of dollars. But it doesn't matter because they're billionaires anyway. They got in a lot of trouble. It's a great, I loved it.
[01:14:40] It's just a three hour deal. Yeah. Well they're trying to get back into society now in New York. Now they're trying to make a comeback into high society despite being years of kryptonite thanks to Purdue Pharma being sued for billions of over systematic over prescription of OxyContin pills.
[01:14:59] One of the Sacklers was seen at two Hamptons fundraisers this weekend. That's how they try to sneak back in. Somebody whispered to me, oh there's a Sackler here at an attendee at one of the events told the post. I asked where, which one,
[01:15:13] but I never got an immediate answer. It's no wonder the main message is that the Sacklers are a persona non grata in society. It's to the point that nobody wants to see them or be photographed with them, much less identified with them.
[01:15:25] Oh yeah, I don't want my picture taken with them. No. Here's a bunch of people that pushed this drug. Merse. They're associated with negative publicity. Talking about them in public is negative and people are being associated with them as a negative thing.
[01:15:41] The negative publicity stepped up this month when the new fictionalized Netflix film Painless starring Matthew Baderick as Richard Sackler. I wouldn't say it's fiction. No I don't. I mean they put stories in there that I don't know that that actually happened
[01:15:54] to one guy but we all know people that it happened to that got addicted to it and just normal people that didn't, they weren't drugies or nothing like that. A blow was dealt by the Supreme Court ruling temporarily blocking Purdue's Pharma bankruptcy deal which shields Pharma, Purdue Pharma
[01:16:10] from future opioid claims. They should not be shielded. The court and Netflix have brought up negative feelings all over again. But point is they're trying to, you know even Rush Limbaugh, the OxyCut in crisis is like cancer or heart disease. Everyone knows someone who's been affected.
[01:16:27] The conservative talk personality lived in Palm Beach and he was addicted to OxyCut in the early 2000s. They stepped over the lawn, yeah. So they're sneaking around. Word up to people in the Hamptons. I don't know anyone in the Hamptons. Word up. They're sneaking around.
[01:16:42] Look for them at your parties. They're trying to get in the back door. Check the sliding glass door round back. There's a Sackler coming in. Here's a feel good story that we're gonna do some lyrics and then I'm gonna save these for next one.
[01:16:58] This is just so great. And I don't ever try to ever do politics on here because I know everybody's tired of it, myself included, I'm tired of it. But as a child, we had a fake vote in grade school
[01:17:14] and you had to put on, well, no this was the next one. So just erase that story. But I loved Jimmy Carter. Do I think he was a great president? President, no. Do I think he's the most wonderful human being? Who actually lives like a Christian?
[01:17:32] Which is also weird because he's a super Baptist and he's pro-life. Find another Baptist today that's in a leadership position that would say they're pro-choice. Pro-choice, I mean. Yeah, I mean that, I don't even know how you get away with that. But go on you Jimmy,
[01:17:46] you keep plowing on with whatever you wanna do. But he's dying and she's dying. Well, come on, they're very old. There's trees in Yosemite that are younger. She, it's sad, but they had a great life and they're in the same house, they never move.
[01:18:06] Like he's a very good example of an ex-president. Let's put it that way. I did read a story once that when he became president, Ted Kennedy, Jimmy Carter called all these senators and told them, all right, congressmen, everybody come on over to the White House,
[01:18:22] do a little hangout. And then they got there and there was no alcohol. And of course that's not gonna sit well with Uncle Ted. Not on the kennel either. Wouldn't sit well with Aunt Kathleen either. I'm like, oh no, he's gonna give a lecture about Israel?
[01:18:37] Ah, and there's nothing to drink? Thank God I brought my egg, egg of moonshine in a jar. Who wants to be my friend now? This is great though. Jimmy Carter built a solar farm in his hometown and it now powers half of the entire city. It's amazing.
[01:18:58] Jimmy Carter was way ahead of his time, the rest of America when he put solar panels on the White House. I didn't even know he did that. On June 20th, 1979, he made a proud proclamation. In the year 2000, this solar water heater behind me, which is being dedicated today,
[01:19:16] will be here still supplying cheap efficient energy. A generation from now, this solar heater can either be a curiosity, a museum piece, an example of a road, or an example of a road not taken, or it could just be a small part
[01:19:28] of one of the greatest and most exciting adventures ever undertaken by the American people. The 32 panel system was designed to heat water through the presidential residence. President Carter saw solar as a valid energy resource and he understood it. I mean, it's a domestic resource and it's huge.
[01:19:47] So then he did one in his town. That's cool. Towers half the town. Wow. I remember him with the gas lines. I mean, I wasn't that old, but I remember him being on the news telling us we all had to conserve gas and all this stuff.
[01:20:01] We were like boo. Oh, gas for your car. Yeah, no, no, no. Gas line. No, not a gas line. Conserve gas. In 2017, he leased 10 acres of land near his home in Plains, Georgia to be used as a solar farm with 3,852 panels. He still lives in his hometown.
[01:20:23] Three years after going live, it now provides 50% of the small town's electricity needs generating 1.3 megawatts of power for the year. That's the equivalent of burning about 3,600 tons of coal. It's a state of the art panels that turn towards the sun throughout the day while they move like that.
[01:20:44] I didn't know they could do that. So they generate the maximum amount of power. Just a nice little feel good story. Good to the carters. Good to the carters. Good on, good for you guys. Okay, before we do the lyrics.
[01:20:59] Oh, can we just talk about Mitch McConnell for one sec? I know I don't like to talk about politics. This is not politics, this is health. If you go watch my special, I think big photo on Amazon, please rate it and like it.
[01:21:09] If you hate it, move on. Go watch Nate Bargazzi. Go watch Jim Gaffigan. Plenty of other people on there. If you hate me, no problem. Not everybody's for everybody. But if you liked it, rate me. The children like it. The children know.
[01:21:22] Yeah, and I got you haven't been right at that. I mean, everybody hates it. I have. But anyway, in my special, Honey Big Foot, I talk about aging politicians and how I think it's out of hand and it's ridiculous and it's not ageism. What I'm saying,
[01:21:39] it's just you can't be in charge of 360 million people. Mitch McConnell, twice now. They're politely calling it freezing. I'd call it a power down. It's now when it happened to my dad, we called it a stroke. So I don't know how many freezings my dad has had,
[01:21:57] but quite a few. Let's put it that way. He's frozen up a few times on us where you're like, oh, hey, hey, hey, little chicken. Answer me. And he can't. Now, you know, your recovery time on it. They're saying Mitch McConnell, he fell and suffered a concussion
[01:22:16] and these could be the results from that. I am not a doctor. I do not know. I just know when that happened to my dad, the first two times at the hospital, they didn't call it a freeze up. They called it a mini stroke.
[01:22:29] Now we are sitting here watching this live twice. And then the girl comes out and has a little chat with them, the lady. And she's like, will there be any more questions? No! Call my, my question would be, is anyone called 911?
[01:22:49] Cause he's powering down and he needs a reboot. The computer just crashed right in front of our flipping faces. And then one guy goes, are you gonna be running again in 2024? What? Stop it. We'll be lucky to get him to a doctor and then some doctor cleared him.
[01:23:06] I'm like, for what? Just, I just had to say that. But I, cause I do a big thing in my special about the ages of these people. Diane Fine saying didn't even remember she wasn't in the Senate for a month. Okay. If you can't remember
[01:23:27] you haven't been here in a month, then you can't have the get back. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Maybe you can pick a representative to do your job, but you can't. I don't know how that works, but. Before I do my lyrics thing,
[01:23:42] here's where I'm going. Boise, Reno, Hershey, I'm gonna say it real quick cause I've said it a hundred times. Boise, Reno, Hershey. Hershey's like sold out. I have no idea where those people came from. It's amazing. Yeah. Pittsburgh same. Cleveland same. Eau Claire, Madison, Chicago,
[01:23:59] Richmond, Charlotte, Des Moines, Kansas City, Virginia Beach. Oh, I hope Kansas City. Maybe the Chiefs are playing that Sunday. Wonder if I can stay. Now that you know what the mascot is. Well, I never pay attention to that. I only focused on the fan, the wolf.
[01:24:14] And I don't understand why he's a wolf. I've been to Kansas City a thousand times in my life. I've never seen a wolf. We're not famous for Missouri wolves. Since 1989. Well see, what was it before that? I'm gonna bet you it was an Indian. No, the Chiefs. Yeah.
[01:24:36] And then they were like, okay, maybe we can move on beyond these things. We'll do that on the next one again. No, I'm not getting into that subject. I'm not. There's way worse than things that, the worst one I've ever heard.
[01:24:50] And this is not me saying this, this is truth. You can Google it. My friend Chuck grew up in Pecan, Illinois. And until I think 1979 or 80, the mascot was the Chinks. The Pecan Chinks. What? Google it. I'm not even kidding. Because their sister city was Pecan, China.
[01:25:12] Come on. So, and they even drew the character like a cartoon of bad old, yeah. Like a bad Chinese restaurant. Yeah, and they called it, oh, they had a big ice skating rink and they called it the Chink rink. I'm not kidding.
[01:25:30] But that, you're not supposed to laugh at that, Paddles. These are just facts. I am not saying these things on my own. I can't believe that. Google it, Google it. I am. Google it. Yeah. See what year it ended. What year, put in what year did Pecan,
[01:25:48] Illinois stop saying Pecan Chinks? The Chink rink, yeah, it's on there. 1981. 81. The Chink rink. I'm not kidding. It's in the Chinese American Museum of Chicago. They donated it all. They donated it all, that's nice to the Chinese American Museum in Chicago. Yeah. Okay. Wow, that's crazy. Yep.
[01:26:19] Anyway, Kansas City, Virginia Beach, Washington, DC, Fort Worth, I haven't been to Fort Worth in a very long time and I'm super excited. People would have no idea how progressive Fort Worth is. They got the horn frogs. Well, the horn frogs, right. You're taking us a little backwards.
[01:26:34] I was gonna talk about their awesome art museums. But, right, the TCU horn frogs. I like purple. I would have all the merch though if I went to a college where I was a horn frog because it makes me laugh. Houston, I love Houston.
[01:26:49] St. Louis home, that'll be quite the weekend. Denver, the villages. Sold out. I still sold out. Cutler Bay, Eugene, Portland, Seattle where I will be seeing my cousin Tommy who's the only person that can drink 50 times more than me and seem totally unaffected. Yep.
[01:27:12] All my last outing with my cousin, Tom, all I remember is it ended with coffee on that was flaming. And Thanksgiving dinner. Yeah, and then Thanksgiving dinner. I mean, Tommy's like, here and I ain't gonna believe this place. It's open really late.
[01:27:27] He's like going out with the devil at the funnest devil ever, but it's the devil. Just when I'm like, yeah, you know, I'm gonna go out and have a couple drinks and get home early because I got all the stuff to do tomorrow in two in the morning.
[01:27:38] Set my coffee on fire! Oh my God, what do you mean they have Thanksgiving right now? Was it even that time? Yeah. All right, well, we're gonna close this out, Dermot. I've been rambling way too much today. Here's some lyrics that I sang as a teenager.
[01:27:57] Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping into the future. Right, that's how time works. Steve Miller Band, whoever wrote this. Steve? I guess. Feed the babies who don't have enough to eat. Shoe the children with no shoes on their feet. How's the people? Oh, there's a solution.
[01:28:18] I like to fly like an eagle to the sea. That my spirit carry me. Time keeps on, and then an actual four line lyric is do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. I wanna fly like an eagle to the sea, let my spirit carry me.
[01:28:33] I wanna fly like an eagle till I'm free, right through the revolution. What revolution? You're the Steve Miller Band. You're not causing a revolution. No. You're a joker, you're a smoker, you're a midnight toker. Yeah. Now that's the shit I'm driving around singing. In your Camaro.
[01:28:50] In my green Camaro with the black vinyl top. Here's another Taylor Swift. This is Bad Blood, the song by Kendrick Lamar and Taylor Swift. I like how her lyrics read like a mean email that rhymes. This would be like if I just wrote this,
[01:29:08] dear Lou, because baby now we got bad blood. You know what used to be mad love. So now I'll take a look at what you've done because baby we got bad blood. Now we got problems and I don't think we can solve them.
[01:29:21] You made a really deep cut and baby we got bad blood. Did you have to do this? I was thinking you could be trusted. Did you have to ruin what was shining? Now it's all rusted. Did you have to hit me where I'm weak?
[01:29:34] Baby, I couldn't breathe and rub it in so deep. Salt in the wound like you're laughing right at me. Oh, it's sad to think about the good times you and I had. Bad blood. And then you pick up. Well, I'm just saying I think this is why
[01:29:51] the children who are upset with people love her songs. I'm going to start reading them all like emails though. Dear Louis. Yeah. Dear Louis, did you think we'd be fine? Still got scars on my back from your knife and don't think it's in the past.
[01:30:05] Those kinds of wounds they last and they last. Do you think we'd get through this all? All these things will catch up to you and time can heal anything but this won't. I'm just saying, I'm just saying, I'm just saying, I'm just saying,
[01:30:18] I'm just saying, I'm just saying, I'm just saying, I'm just saying, I can heal anything but this won't. So if you come my way, just don't. Whoa! Okay, termites, I have to go weed. A bunch of weeds that are on the side of my house
[01:30:37] and they're getting burrs in them because the cats have burrs on their tails. I don't know where they're going. Anyway, none of that really matters and it's not even interesting. So that's it termites. I'm going to say night night we will see you Boise, Reno, you're up first.
[01:30:53] We'll have one about fantasy. Fantasy football, yeah, I have three drafts tonight. What? Two. Two drafts tonight. I already did the children's one. There's so many children that souls are going to be hurt and crying. It's going to be a horrible fall.
[01:31:07] They're going to be in school wanting to check their phones. I'm going to get text at 7am what do I got to do to trade you for so and so and then I won't answer until 8.05 when I know they can't turn their phone. Boom! Sorry you're in school.
[01:31:19] I haven't done that in 50 years. No, this is the like comedian league and then adult league and my dad is playing uh-oh. He's never played before and I don't think he understands the app and it's going to be a thousand questions and It'll be fun if he wins.
[01:31:41] I just put him on auto draft because but then he's going to go why do I have all these people? I don't even like that man. He's a giant. Why do I have anybody? It's going to be like no, no you get who you get
[01:31:55] because you're not going to be quick enough on the iPad well it's all the iPad will be facing himself and all I'll see this is nose and then I'm like you need a haircut. I thought we were talking about football yeah so yeah
[01:32:13] I'll let you guys know who I end up with I wanted Patrick Mahomes in the children's league but I wasn't first. I was like eighth who did you get? Jalen Hertz he's great. He's awesome I'm fine with that choice
[01:32:25] I would have rather had Patrick because I think he'll score more points but don't worry I'll see you
