[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. Turn right! Episode 151, we have done it. I have returned. I have returned from the... what would you call? The East?

[00:00:35] Yes, Pennsylvania, Ohio. The Mid-East. I've returned from the Middle East. Yes, I have safely returned. What are we drinking? Well, we're gonna have a little of this beer. Right here from Pennsylvania. Rusty Nail. That's from Hershey. Hershey is where I went first.

[00:00:52] And just a little... we do little travel logs every now and then. Hershey's a wonderful little town. It's like a Hallmark Village. Now, if you have kids there, the park is great, the whole thing. But it's just a very pleasant. Everyone seems happy.

[00:01:07] And I don't know... Milton Hershey, you should Google him. Greatest gut man to ever live. We'll put in the show notes. Yeah, Milton... the chocolate guy, the chocolatier. Oh, and I'm having a little moonshine. Because I got some shitty texts and I don't like them.

[00:01:22] And I don't want to be in a bad mood for this. So you know what changes my mood immediately? Eggnog moonshine. Eggnog moonshine. No, ego. Ego waffle. Oh yeah, ego. Yeah. Wrong season. Hershey... I mean, if you have kids, it's really great because they can go.

[00:01:36] But anyway, maybe because it's just chocolate everywhere, everybody's happy. It seems very... it always seems very Hallmark-y, but not in a weird way. Right. I mean, there's still fun and plus it's fall so it was just pretty.

[00:01:50] And then I went to go see Milton's grave and I initially, when I pulled into the cemetery, I thought what I saw was either the entrance and or a veteran's thing. Nope. Milton got the hole. That was his hole. Oh, it is huge.

[00:02:04] But he showed. He opened an orphanage. Every school bus says Milton Hershey published schools. He just didn't... nobody does stuff like that with money. Like, nobody does stuff. Dolly. Dolly does it in your own hometown and just make the whole area better.

[00:02:20] Maybe there are other people. I'll start looking. Find good philanthropists that... Termite? You got any local heroes? Mattress Mack. He does a good job. I would love to meet Mattress Mack. I really like my picture with him.

[00:02:36] He's probably... he's getting up there. I don't think he cares about coming to some comedy show. Well, we'll go to him. I'll go to him? Yeah. Go to his Mattress story. I don't need a mattress, but I'd buy...

[00:02:48] No, I wouldn't. That's too much to get your picture taken with somebody. Anyway, this is a rusty reel from Hershey. I would always recommend stopping in Hershey. That's what I'll say to that. It's very cool. So many things came backstage. We'll go through them.

[00:03:02] Not fast, but there were so many. Thank God I had Bill Crawford with me. He is a beer monster. And you were starving. And I was starving. And the Pittsburgh pretzels came back right in time. So Hershey's shout out to Lou. Gave me some homemade...

[00:03:18] Not my friend Lou. A different Lou. Some golf, Indian cards and candles. Heather and Stan. A local Golden Lager, which I drank. Nice. So thank you. Thank you. Pretzels, chocolate. There's a lot of chocolate as you can imagine in Hershey.

[00:03:32] But most of it will be going straight to my mom. And she will be so happy. What's that bar I saw downstairs? The bar? Oh, the giant Hershey bar when you work at the theater. Well, at least when I work there.

[00:03:43] I don't know if everybody else does. It's a five pound... Shit, I'll show it next week. It's funny. But here's the thing. My dad, that's his favorite chocolate. It's my favorite chocolate at Hershey for real. I've had the fancy stuff.

[00:03:54] I hate it when there's a box and you got to identify that thing. Now! Yeah. Yeah, because then I'll... And I would really bite into one that has coconut. And I'm like, God damn it. It didn't say coconut. And then I opened the lid.

[00:04:05] I'm like, yes, I did, Kathleen. You didn't read carefully. It's the third one, third row coconut. But me and my dad like our Hershey bars in the freezer. Oh, fancy. That's the way you do it.

[00:04:16] But I'm going to have to see if I can clean out the deep freeze in my garage and put it in there. I don't know what I'm going to do. Well, I'm just going to tell my mom and dad they don't have a deep freeze

[00:04:26] so they can't touch it or leave it at my sister's. Here's a pizza. Breanna brought the rusty nail. Andrea. Oh yeah, the Friskies party makes a lot of cat things came backstage. The cats are very happy. Well, and I did... I was watching Dateline.

[00:04:45] I figured out how to get it now on the iPad. And I mean, it makes me laugh because on Dateline I love Keith Morrison, but everybody does. But every time somebody is about to get shot in a crime deal

[00:05:00] they always go, I looked at the shooter and I said, please don't shoot me. I have three kids. They always say they have kids. And I thought how funny would it be? Well, I probably wouldn't be funny.

[00:05:11] But if somebody was pointing a gun at my head and I go, don't shoot. I have four feral cats. Now I don't think that's the reason to not kill me. But I think it would make you stop for a second and go,

[00:05:22] what the fuck did that lady just say? I said I have four feral cats. Kathy brought me some Mary Kay makeup because I do the joke about Mary Kay that I can't believe and it's Jesus Consultant Laura. She brought me some too.

[00:21:55] An extremely rare brown spotless giraffe was photographed for the first time In the african wild just weeks after another one was born at the tennessee zoo The one we've already talked about that's two now on earth And I think that's all I

[00:22:14] Know this one's in africa the other ones here in tennessee Extremely rare brown Just weeks after they were born at the kazoo um At the kazoo It was photographed at um with its mom in a private game reserve in central nambia

[00:22:31] It's only the fourth photographic record of a brown spotless giraffe in the first ever in the wild Most recently we know who? kipiki Was born at the bright zoo in tennessee Before that a giraffe named toshiko was born without spots under tokyo zoo in 1972

[00:22:49] So we're living in a time with a lot of this is where you go. We're living in good times This is where He had toshiko also had an older sibling who was spotless Some of the rarest white spotless giraffes which have a condition called lucism

[00:23:04] I don't think I said there have been reporting in the wild But this is the first wild spotting of a spotless brown giraffe So how exciting is that now there's two get on over to nambia or come to tennessee you could see what

[00:23:19] You move try chat to keep you going um Okay This is crazy This is holy shit. They found because this could really change things with china with the relationship with china with what we have A lithium mine has been discovered within the mcdermot called caldera

[00:23:39] Located along the nevada oregon border This finding is significant and then it may hold between 20 and 40 million metric tons of this rare metal Which is nearly double the current Appro of approximately 23 million metric tons found this summer beneath the bolivian salt flat

[00:23:59] To put the magnitude of this finding further into perspective. It's approximately 28 miles long And 22 miles wide Wow lithium is a chemical That is a vital component of green technology including grid storage batteries and electric cars

[00:24:15] How did such a large deposit come to be located approximately 16 million years ago of volcanic eruption filled the Caldera with an alkaline magna magma containing sodium potassium and lithium It also formed a lake that deposited lithium into the clay bed soils

[00:24:33] Now see here's the thing because the chinese have shit tons of lithium and then they hold it over our head There's a lithium shortage in the united states right now that says it's exacerbated by the biden's administration recent call for electric vehicles to make up all

[00:24:50] Approximately 50 of all call cars sold by 2030 Which it always makes me laugh when I pull into any buckys and they have like 50 electric car charging stations which I Whatever you think I know people argue about it in gag Island

[00:25:06] I that's just so progressive for buckys and I guess how many cars I see using them none But there's nobody in electric cars at buckys look where buckys are at They're not in downtown Beverly Hills where people are rocking up in teslas

[00:25:24] Yeah, yeah, bob and clark my friend lorraine Um But anyway The well, so we're gonna need it because who who's ever I might my cars are hybrid, but it's not electric It's a old. Oh, it's a 2007 mercury mariner hybrid. Look that shit up termites

[00:25:46] I didn't even buy because I thought I was being I didn't really think about the environment I'm just so lazy and the guy's like, yeah, you know hardly ever have to stop and get gas Okay, sold the brown one sold

[00:25:58] That's what I got. It was called chocolate. It's a chocolate mercury Um, now here's the problem. There's gonna be a lot of opposition from a variety in groups including other conservation people

[00:26:10] Indigenous americans and even nasa which has previously argued these undisturbed minds are key to calibrating the measurements of hundreds of satellites orbiting the earth Wow There are also concerns from local farmers about how future lithium mining will affect the areas Ground water levels

[00:26:30] I don't know but that's a lot of lithium to find It could power electric vehicles for decades That's how big it is and then we don't have to try to get it from china when we run out So it it takes their little power down a notch

[00:26:46] Most current tesla batteries use a great many 18,650 Lithium cells which are the batteries used in vape pens. Oh alert alert all my vape friends God, I didn't know that

[00:27:02] I didn't know they were doing that for vape pens because that's a little is are those electric do you plug a vape pen in? You got it. Oh, I don't know. I don't vape

[00:27:11] No, I always just notice that the people who are vaping act like they're smoking weed because they always go like this Like what are you hiding? Yeah Not my one sister law if I ever wrote a holiday movie It would open with my one sister-in-law

[00:27:27] On a couch outside when it's super cold, but she's not cold Don't ask me why and all you see you see her, but it's behind a giant cloud of strawberry vape She's always in a cloud of vape and it makes me laugh every time

[00:27:43] Holy shit, they found it. We have a mist this is weird I so I also need to talk about the vegas hack before I go any further because I didn't Print anything up. But first I'll do this because the hack is just I don't even

[00:27:58] Anyway mysterious golden object unknown to science is recovered from the sea floor It's offers of self-instated that understanding of the moon surface surpasses our knowledge Of the of our own ocean, I would agree with that Nobody knows where the hell's down there. Not for real

[00:28:16] Jacques Cousteau got a good start for us. Yeah, and then his grandson. I think picked up the baton or his son Philippe Good job You heard a party with He was cute. Was he cute? Yeah. Wow. Yeah, we'll talk about that later Philippe Cousteau

[00:28:38] Huh put it in the schnoz. I'll put his picture up. Is he still cute without a long time ago This bizarre golden egg can now be led edit to the list of oceanic wonders that include the eerie yellow brick roads

[00:28:50] Yeah, that shit's real weird and the particular creatures of marina trench Peculiar creatures. Sorry. I don't know what I never I don't have to google that um The golden object I think it's the ball from harry potter

[00:29:06] And I don't know why no one's brought that up. Yeah. Well, I haven't we've thrown that out there as an option It was taken off the movie set someone stole it. They shouldn't have stolen it. They freaked out through in the ocean

[00:29:19] The golden object located two miles deep and firmly attached to a rocky base wasn't just a solid piece It was found with a gaping hole in the front prompting a researcher Um, just say something tried to get in or out of it Because there's a hole in it

[00:29:34] Maybe it's an egg A golden egg Task of closely expecting this orb fell upon a robotic arm I don't know Leading theories could be um, oh here we go an unusual reflective egg causing the remnants of an unknown species of sponge No sense no consensus has been reached

[00:30:05] It was an it was it was fortunate that the rov robotic something whatever managed to secure the specimen for further analysis One thing is certain this discovery of gen is genuinely odd when our connect collective knowledge can't idea Do it there's something weird a team member said Yeah

[00:30:25] Maybe it's a new species I don't know you should see it though. It's very pretty If there were then you make it the golden egg orb hunt Yeah Um, can we just talk about the vegas hack?

[00:30:42] Oh my god, I've worked at every casino in les vegas for the most part I would say and I I Have respect for all the conglomerates like there's good things I could say about all of them and there's bad things I could say about all of them

[00:30:59] But like when you sign up for players cards if you've never gambled you go into casino and you kind of need this player card Well, I need it if you're a real gambler You're gonna need it for tax purposes because if I win a jackpot

[00:31:10] I gotta be able to prove I gambled all this time So then the uh, united states government doesn't come looking for my ass and I got to say yeah But here's something that I proudly produced my losses go look at how much I lost Um

[00:31:24] But when you sign up for a players card, you're giving them all your a lot of information And then if you win a jackpot they have your social security number

[00:31:30] Could you you have to get the tax form done right there boom anything over 1200 dollars that you win at a slot machine in one fell swoop That's why some people play right under that amount and then you can win a bunch of jackpot and they don't necessarily write

[00:31:46] Never thought of that Oh, I've thought of it. It's just boring that way. I'd rather just pay the government It's much more exciting to go. Yay. I just won 2500 bucks. Um at my video poker machine Anyway, if you haven't been paying attention

[00:32:00] All of mgm properties were hacked and it's all over the country I texted my friends in atlantic city the borgoona because I work there. That's an mgm property boom

[00:32:09] My friends in beluxy boom everybody was reported but yet the news wasn't there. We're on day seven of the hack And half the shit still isn't working You if you can play the machine, but you can't

[00:32:23] Get a payout. You got to get hand paid out. Well, that could take forever Checking in the lines with aria the lines are three and four hours long My my thing is I don't understand why it wasn't the mainstream media and then they go Oh

[00:32:36] And i'm not a conspiracy person ever I hate the conspiracy world. It's just a ridiculous waste of time in my opinion, but This was weird And I don't people are flying out there to go check in and if you're not sitting here because i'm on instagram and twitter

[00:32:52] And my friends work at these places texting me. Holy shit something weird Then i'm thinking so after 9 11 My dad was always obsessed with This idea that the terrorists were gonna go for dams next because my dad's an old man and he

[00:33:12] He he thinks about that stuff like because if you did Somehow terrorize the Hoover Dam, then you've just cut off the water to all the states in the southwest of the country. It could be horribly You know catastrophic yeah, so but if you can hack

[00:33:31] A casino should in my mind have the same amount of security as um A bank. Yeah, and you hacked into that And why can't you hack into the system of the Hoover Dam? I mean i'm not telling anybody go do that I'm just saying that

[00:33:50] And it's going as caesars got hacked before them and they paid the ransom to this group They paid 15 million. That's what's being reported that is a drop in the bucket and they have insurance for that

[00:34:01] So who cares pay them pay the hackers deal with it later then call the fbi and go hey look um black cat or batman Bird whatever the hell they are they do here's the shit. Oh, I gotta turn my slots back on

[00:34:16] I'm sorry people. I got old ladies over there wheel fortune going ape shit on my ass I'll give you the info you go find them you deal with it later Pay the ransom I don't know why they're not paying right? I don't I think it's weird

[00:34:33] I think it's very weird And now they can't Well sit so today I've checked out every day Some things are starting to come back on but it also meant you can't get in your room because you can't use a key card

[00:34:48] Right. You got to have somebody manually open your door. Oh, have you ever in vegas tried to get somebody to come up? You can sit down just sit down in the hallway Yeah You drunk you forgot your key. You're too tired to walk back down there

[00:35:02] I can't go back down there. You know, you can't sleep at the hall. There's cameras in the hallway drunk He's gonna get pulled out of the video. Uh-oh we got one down floor seven this uh I'm just saying Keep an eye on that story I don't know why

[00:35:20] Lester holt finally got to it on the nightly news But it was like four days after it It they are you Caesar's pay. What are we do you guys pay attention? They've got giant casinos paying ransoms

[00:35:35] Well, if you're the payer ones are you just gonna go with it pay in it? Okay, just sit here and don't make any money then you you beat them didn't you good for you All right, I found it. I found a new spirit animal for my parents Kevin

[00:35:54] Cismid sz m yd Kevin spent $7,700 on a lifetime supply of incandescent light bulbs. He bought 3,500 He's officially outdone my parents um He's a cute guy. He's very young 25 They're banned in the united states, but kevin

[00:36:21] How have you said a 25 year old software developer from new hampshire isn't planning to switch To more energy efficient leds anytime soon He's kind of my spirit animal too. I don't like the leds. I like the old ones, but what are you gonna do? I mean do this

[00:36:36] Here's the thing I could say yes, I could go spend that money. Where am I storing 3,500 light bulbs You got some room up here No, yeah, then when the kids come over they're like, can you move the light bulbs when you can't

[00:36:51] We can't do the pull out cops ride Uh, come on Yeah Yeah, he got 30 as of august 1st the manufacturer and sale of incandescent light bulbs was officially banned in the united states The new guidelines originated during obama's presidency, but were rejected by the trump administration

[00:37:10] Now under the biden administration the near total ban has gone into effect Those who already have the bulbs will be able to keep them. Well, of course they will Do you think the government has time to form a panel? And go look guys

[00:37:27] I've heard I've heard this and uh, you're the ones I've heard there's some people out there And um, it's our job as the bulb force. We're the bulb to go get them I want you to go and knock on every door in st. Louis, missouri

[00:37:42] And see who's and see and then you're gonna make them give me I would have a shirt like the people that go try to take my gun mine would say try to take my light bulb Uh

[00:37:53] He's a member of a facebook group called antique incandescent light bulb collectors, which has been active Since the ban went into effect. I don't know why my parents didn't join this group Um, yeah, they're also focused on like vintage light bulbs at manufacturing before the 1940s

[00:38:12] Kevin said I don't think the government should be involved with making a customer decision like that I think it's a little silly for a government to go in and say we don't think you're going to make the best decision

[00:38:21] With buying light bulbs, so we're gonna prevent you from making the wrong decision Well, no, they're saying the more energy efficient. I mean, I still would rather have the other ones He Kevin would rather see a push towards nuclear power instead All right, covin

[00:38:38] Okay, well, we'll take that into consideration He saved two weeks of pay to fund his collection worth about 1700 bucks Um, he's contacted everyone who sells light bulbs within 250 miles of him. Oh my god

[00:38:50] Yep, he didn't call my parents and guess what he would have got hung up on Fuck you, Kevin. We're not selling our light bulbs. Did you try to trick us? Not having any of that So then it just goes into the yeah

[00:39:08] He considers it a lifetime supply he did a Spreadsheets on this he will have enough light bulbs for 75 years and he's 25 so that takes him to 100 What if he lived to a hundred like lose mom?

[00:39:21] What if he lived like lose mom to 104 and then he got to 100 and he didn't have any more light bulbs? And then you're older and you can't see is good right All right, this is super weird And we're gonna um

[00:39:38] Yeah, yeah, this is just going to waste here Well, this is another science one. I don't understand this is why My old joke about home school and Well, it's a big shot

[00:39:58] It's my castle amigos tequila shot glass. I don't even know where I this had to be free I wouldn't have stolen it. It's not interesting enough I Couldn't home school my kids that I don't have

[00:40:13] Because I don't know understand anything about science and stuff if they go why is there lightning? I'm like god's mad That's why why is it raining because the angels are crying and disappointed in your report card I don't know

[00:40:27] I always think about that stevie song thunder only happens when it's raining and then every time I hear thunder And I don't see any rain. I'm like Jesus bad at science as I was that's bullshit Is it true? I don't know

[00:40:39] This is caught on a shit ton of cameras though. So the giant earthquake in Morocco Very sad because and the libyan floods horrific like over 11,000 people dead But there were these blue lights that lit up the sky before the earthquake and

[00:40:58] So we'll put the link in the thing It it's something more than lightning. It doesn't look like lightning bolts. It's like But it's like blue lights like it was fascinating looking but now I know if I ever see it again

[00:41:12] Get a helmet run outside because an earthquake is coming um They were captured on a cctv at uh a home approximately three minutes before the disaster so you have three minutes To get going

[00:41:27] I don't know where you're gonna just run out of a building. Yeah, I'd run to a field or something where there's nothing that can follow on you The short clip the short clip on x shows a single twitter I don't I can't get used to it

[00:41:40] Shows a single blue flash on the top left corner of the shot followed by a second burst of light second later A similar phenomena has been observed before the earthquake in turkey earlier this year

[00:41:51] Which claimed the lives of 45 000 people the first recorded instance of earthquake lights on cameras date back to 1965 during the japanese earthquake They've also been observed in china in 2008 idly 2009 and mexico 2017 the cause remains shrouded in mystery leaving

[00:42:10] Questions about whether it serves as some sort of ominous sign of impending disasters now not knowing shit about science I would say if the earth is starting to move And this is where i'm sure some of my science friends will be like kathleen just stop don't continue on

[00:42:27] Well if everything's connected if the earth is starting to move Wouldn't that cause like a burst of energy to go somewhere? um I think it's pretty generically simple If I throw this bottle over there and hit the pillow the pillow is gonna move It's a transfer of energy

[00:42:51] Yeah, right For every action there's a reaction Um, and then scientists suggest this may be the release of energy as a result of the movement of lithospheric plates analyzing 65 earthquake light incidents and patterns For a project that it gets hard um

[00:43:12] Yeah, there's over 2000 people but see if you saw that now you would know You got three minutes if you're in your house get out and get to the backyard If you happen to be awake

[00:43:22] Right. Yeah, you have to be awake. Well clearly your eyes have to be open Well Yeah And you're right the people sitting outside are already safer because you're outside No, but wait check out the video it's freakish It's in the schnox

[00:43:48] Um, if it's over a 5.0 earthquake researchers found that these lights occur 80 of the time A bad earthquake for those who don't know I'd say anything over a 5 5 I've been in everything less than a 5 5 And I was kind of near it in california a couple times near the

[00:44:10] I didn't know what it was because I'm a midwestern person and I really thought that I drank too much and that I Was like not I was just flopping around in bed. Like I was like uncomfortable. Yeah, we're still half drunk or whatever I don't I yeah

[00:44:28] Moving on This is a great story Painting the town red incredible moment a river of wine flows flows through portuguese village when distillery is 2.2 Million liter tanks burst The portuguese town of sal lorrico de barrio red wine um

[00:44:56] After two of its tanks filled and it went down a quiet street. You should see the street. We'll put the video in It is a flood. I would have been out there with buckets. I don't even care that it touched the ground

[00:45:07] It's free wine get out there. It would be so exciting to just jump in it Um, although it was a fast-flowing river Down a steep hill in a small town Um Baffles locals looked on as the wine nearly enough to fill an olympic swimming pool

[00:45:24] Swept through the streets of the town I know I know this bill was so massive that local officials triggered an environmental alert and were forced to divert the wine to stop it From contaminating the nearby Sertima river Just tell everybody get a bucket get up get hurry up

[00:45:45] I mean, it's it's as deep as your car tires Yeah, awesome. Yeah, that's just that would be a day um And then the serious people come in we're committed to resolving this situation as quickly as possible boo Let it go That would be a day off

[00:46:05] Though the river of wine could have caused an environmental mishap experts said that drinking a wide variety of red wine is good for your gut Thank you My advice for wine lovers is keep lending money. Yeah, they're gonna drink it

[00:46:15] You put this on sale you go catch re-catch all this capture it if you're that winery whose things burst And then say this is sale wine and it's historical. It's a souvenir. Come on. See I come a marketing add-on Okay smucker now. I always thought it was smuggers

[00:46:33] No, it's smucker the company is buying twinkies host maker the twinkie maker hostess for 5.6 billion worth it Worth it for a ding dong for a ding dong Ding dongs are better than twinkies. No Yes, they are Yes, they are

[00:46:54] Yes, you lie hostess the maker of twinkies in ho-ho's Is being purchased by jm smucker and a 5.6 million does hostess not make ding dongs I think they do What Did they not have king ding dongs in canada? Dongs ding dongs. They look like hockey pucks. Yeah hostess

[00:47:23] In canada they're made from vashong Oh, okay now that you whoa, sorry. Sorry I moved my ear Um now that you see it you've never eaten one They're called big wheels in canada Why did you guys have to change everything to make it your own big wheels?

[00:47:44] I'm shocked. They didn't call them hockey pucks Shocked that was low hanging fruit in the let's name it meeting that was so easy Everybody wants some hockey pucks everybody loves get come on Big wheels Right, but you call them candy hockey pucks or some candy pucks. Yeah

[00:48:07] The two companies announced the transaction on monday with the jelly maker saying That the purchase expands smuckers offerings beloved brand Beloved brands in growing categories and accelerates its focus on convenient customer occasions The shares of hostess sword in early trading stocks already up 20% Yeah

[00:49:06] The purchase is remarkable turnaround for hostess which is filed for bankruptcy twice during its existence Hostess was founded in 1919 and started making twinkies in the 30s. Wow. They're that old They should have sent them to world war two because they last forever

[00:49:21] No, you could keep that in your pocket. I mean it might get smashed, but you could still open the package You need it. Yeah Would never go bad. It doesn't need a refrigerator. No. No No

[00:49:31] So if you care just know that your next ding dong is really made by smuckers You're hockey puck You're hockey puck. You're candy puck Big wheels That is stupid They're so good McDonald's made a big announcement speaking of who's doing what that they're going to take out self-serving

[00:49:50] self-serve soda machines because people are stealing and then cleanliness and all that But I love that they made this announcement now And they're um, they're hoping to eliminate them all by 2032

[00:50:03] I mean just save the announcement till like say 2030 give people a two-year heads up. I don't need a 10-year heads up McDonald's future includes Restaurant designs with smaller are no dining rooms and high tech drive-thrus to reflect the new reality digital sales

[00:50:22] Now make up 40% of its sales. The chain also released another major chain called Cosmics a new small format location that includes reduced dining area I don't I don't really go in fast food. I old people like to sit there and think and have their coffee or whatever

[00:50:41] Well, if you live around there, it's probably a little gathering spot people don't want to deal with the people anymore If there's any way to keep you out of my business even though i'm trying to sell shit

[00:50:49] That's what they would prefer to do if you could just stay out there And i'm gonna send shit through a tube after you give me money. That would be just fine Um, okay, I'm gonna save that one for the last

[00:51:06] Have you ever wondered why you have to walk so far to your gates in the airports and the newer airports It's getting worse and worse and worse Well Some of you can probably obviously figure out why

[00:51:20] Shopping they want us to shop and the airports have no longer become just a hub of transportation. It's a goddamn mall And it is infuriating When I fly into somewhere like minneapolis Where I like the airport, but if you have to connect

[00:51:36] A you better have worn your tennis shoes Not even kidding and b you better hope that you can still run a mile In a decent amount or you're not gonna make it and they're not waiting

[00:51:47] It's so far and then half the time the people movers are broken if they even have them Well, they're yanking all those out And making all that stores And they don't want you to people move past their stores. Oh my god

[00:52:00] As travel comes roaring back people are walking longer distances from the curb to the gate pass Hudson news guilty Chanel and estate lauder duty-free lounge duty-free lounges anti anti ants and starbucks And that's just the first leg these days your concourse walk never seems to end

[00:52:18] So they just redid nashville And it's not too bad, but the minute you get through tsa Boom, it's all stores Now that's kind of fun if you have the time But if you're in a hurry I'd rather A lot of what?

[00:52:32] Well, the nash four airports fun. There's this thing on instagram called its scoop nashville And it's everybody that got arrested for mostly drunk and stuff There's bad crimes in there too, but it's mostly drunk

[00:52:44] The amount of people that are too drunk to fly out of the nashville airport is hilarious And it's always just some girl who was at a gate and then her her head shot her mug shot out. She's always like Me I'm fine

[00:53:02] And it's usually they're in the gate area after the plane has left and they're like so it's obvious like why is that lady sitting by herself Yeah, she's her blinking Bachelorette cowboy hat and none of her other bachelorette seem to be around here

[00:53:17] And I just saw her down at tutsi's drinking I have just traveled through the new leguardia airport and it confirms the theory of mine former treasury secretary larry summers recently was there the new returnable is less convenient because Uh, it's

[00:53:33] Less convenient it is to use because the walks are longer. I wonder why treks at the airport again getting worse ever since security changes were implemented in September 11th, 2001 attacks So I was talking my friend drew about this because he knows the guys who designed them after 9 11

[00:53:49] If you think back in the day, there was all kinds of shit before you went through security Right and you could take it through so if you bought water or soda or whatever

[00:53:59] You could still go through tsa. Well now that you couldn't do that. They've moved all the stores in You have to get through past security. Yes Well, that's already then Going to make it a lot longer You get to the gate and you're exhausted. You're dealing with increase

[00:54:16] You're dealing increasingly with airports that are designed around financial objectives and safety the traveler gets lost in the dust Yeah, I always think about old people too yes, like Where where did I go? I think Boise and

[00:54:30] Salt Lake no, and I didn't do Salt Lake. I went to Boise and Reno And then that flight me and john the opener we had a run like My parents would not have made it No, and we were sitting up close to up front

[00:54:44] So we got off the plane first if you were way way way in the back. You're not making it No one's holding a plane for you Yeah, it's just getting bad Many airports were built during the bill of the 20th centuries and have under and gone

[00:54:57] massive expansion plans in the 21st century the new gate extensions and recent renovations Made courses much much longer after 7 11 security checkpoints were added to existing terminals and essentially divided Terminals in two increasing the space travelers need to walk

[00:55:12] I yeah, I don't have to read it all somebody called it a fitness trail Well, I always know if i'm like 2000 steps away from my 10000 as soon as I get to an airport done

[00:55:22] Because i'm just going to keep hiking the longest track at an airport in the united states is what? DFW dollars for a worth where the walk from an entrance in terminal B to e is 2.6 miles My mom and dad would have to sit down twice. Yeah

[00:55:41] Um phoenix airport that one, uh, they have a fitness trail where travelers can view mountains and parks and city from Uh landmarks from the concourses Yeah It's the the new phoenix airport is beautiful But it's not if you have to connect

[00:55:59] It doesn't matter if you don't have to connect. You're never going to be in a hurry, but uh The monorails the dallas monorail And the dallas makes me laugh so hard because at six flags when I was a kid in ureca missouri

[00:56:16] They had a roller coaster called the mine train and it was um Super super old school a wooden roller coaster and I mean that thing we would get that we loved it as kids, but it was just like

[00:56:26] Harky jerky every time I go to dallas and have to get on the train I'm like welcome to the mine train for those of you under four foot ten. Please remove yourself from the mine train Out more about this one, sir. I'm gonna

[00:56:45] I said we were going to talk about airbnb, but I want to read more about it talk about it next week Yeah, I do. Yeah, I do because I want to know more before I actually start talking about it

[00:56:58] Well the topic is how do we feel about airbnb's in touristy cities like in nashville Now I've done airbnb so I'm a customer as well But it's a problem like at the lake of the ozarks like the condo where my sister has

[00:57:12] Now they're all getting rented out as airbnb's and they're all party people and they're all it's a lake and boats and you know That's not what we bought like we bought a condo before all this happened and then

[00:57:26] There's no respect. Um, there were the last time I rented one Uh, there were drunk girls from Omaha and trust me nothing was more entertaining I watched one fall down a flight of wooden steps and get up and was fine

[00:57:40] And I was like you go Omaha. That was amazing 12 girls in a three-bedroom and they're just Like I feel like there's no control over it But I also feel like I've been the recipient of the good end of airbnb Yeah

[00:57:57] But it depends on what city and then like the house next to mine in nashville Some guy was gonna buy it and make it an airbnb rental But because then there was no hoa formed he could actually do that No, no, I don't want to live next to

[00:58:13] My other neighbor a dude. He's like that'd be smoking hot right? I'm like, that's not what we're going for here, Bob. We're not we're not going for that You know drunk girls everywhere on the weekend like no, I

[00:58:26] Yes, I did form an hoa. I've become that lady get off my lawn The only thing allowed in this lawn are animals foxes skunks Dear No, we had no I didn't do it for that purpose. I'm not that much of an asshole

[00:58:43] I did it because you have to get a community doc Yeah, get insurance. You gotta have an hoa um Anyway, we're gonna top up that in depth because it's kind of hard. I feel like I've did some hard stories today Here's a lighter story that'll make

[00:59:01] Way in do you think we should still new york's really cracking down on airbnb's and they're making them This is how sleazy this dude was it was going to buy the house. He called me Just this man from austin

[00:59:12] And he's like, yeah, and he talked like that and he's like, yeah, you know So we're doing this all over the country. You should be really happy about it. You know because it's gonna no no It's not going to increase the property value. Shut up and then

[00:59:23] Even when they're trying to put laws in so they'll say well, you can't do short-term rentals this guy Already told me how to undo that He's like, yeah, you know, there's some problems with facing with laws, but you know

[00:59:37] We just say it's a long-term rental and then we say they got sick and then we just give them their money back every week Yeah, so they're already figuring out ways I guess it depends on where you live. How does it affect you termites?

[00:59:49] If you're in a tourist town non termites in non tourist towns. What do you think about that? I don't know I want to see what the rules are in ashville. There's no rules in missouri i'm sure of that

[01:00:05] There's a thing I reposted on twitter. This is when i'm like, I can't believe these people live in my state They were burning books And they had flamethrowers Now my family may or may not own a flamethrower. I'm not gonna commit to that But I have shot one

[01:00:23] And they are for a pyro It's the most fun thing you're ever going to do in your life But they were flamethrowing they had a pile of books I don't know what books were in there, but they're screaming. Let's go brandon

[01:00:35] And uh my friend drew sent it to me He's like way to go maddie. Here's your state again. You fucking missouri people raising the bar every goddamn day I know Um, here's a little breaking news of royal news

[01:00:52] Oh, we don't have a current section of royal news, but I do love this. Did you watch don't nabby termites? I loved it. This is uh, the royal family has been banned From a 175 year old hunting tradition after being kicked off the estate Oh

[01:01:14] I'm so glad this happened after the queen's death. She would have just been so sad So, you know in downtown abbey and all these movies well even though documentaries and stuff You just see them wandering the countryside Yeah

[01:01:24] Like how much land do you people fucking own? You know it right all of it The royal family has been banned from hunting on the scottish estate near bel mora castle Um bringing a dramatic end to their 175 year old tradition

[01:01:37] Since 1852 the royals have spent time shooting deer stalking and fishing On an estate in uh abber dean shear scotland It's a pastime that has been in the families since since the balmora estate was purchased by queen bit Doreal and prince albert which subsequently granted them access to 11,500

[01:01:59] Acres 18 square miles of hunt. Do they can just wander around? Do whatever they want hunt shoot stuff picnics whatever But after the estate went up for sale in 2020 the new owner has ended the royal release royal lease

[01:02:13] Which means king charles and his family are no longer free to use it Here's the thing king charles never wanted to do any that shit anyway His mom liked it his dad liked it. He's an indoor cat Yeah

[01:02:27] She was kind of a little old dude, but I liked it. She went out with her dog She wanted to go walk her dog, but I mean you do you need 18 square miles? Do you need 11,000 acres? How about 10? The new owner

[01:03:23] How about Ireland do we own that someone check? This is crazy though before it changed ownership The estate was owned by the gordon family for over 500 years The gordon family a highland scottish clan was historically one of the most powerful scottish clans

[01:03:41] But ultimately sold the estate after the death of the 21st baron Uh john gordon They got the leasing agreement in 1852 queen victoria principalt Whoa The estate boost 34 homes cottages lodges and farmhouses, but it does not include the castle located two miles from belmora castle

[01:04:04] So that's it. You no longer see charles frolicking around the fox hunts Charles doesn't seem like an outside cat. He's an indoor cat Yeah, there's I watched that whatever. I think it was in actually the crown. Yeah You know, they make him go do like

[01:04:24] Where the they'd make the private school the boys go jogging and then you got to do the monkey bars And then you got to do the rope and just be him falling off ropes like and i'm sure his dad was like a he-man So a big disappointment um

[01:04:39] The villages Can I say yep, we've added a second show But I have a story about what's going on down there The the show goes on sale tomorrow the tickets because we already sold the first one out

[01:07:51] Yeah, okay, this is a great story Great story here I really want someone to do a movie about this man's life because I know this man Like I could call him I think I don't have his number, but I could get it

[01:08:06] And I think he'd answer the phone because I did his show so many times I nobody makes a big deal out of this and I think it's astonishing media mogul byron allen now

[01:08:17] He's he was a stand-up. He had a show the byron allen show if you're younger younger term I you won't remember that you can google it And then he right where you get to that then he had a show called comics unleashed where we would sit around

[01:08:30] I think I've talked about him before because he owns the weather Show me any comedian that's been more successful business wise after Not being a comedian anymore and you will not find one person No one no one he's

[01:08:44] He should have probably never been a comedian like she should have skipped right to this He's so good at it like what what are you doing sitting around with me on a couch when you're smart enough to go?

[01:08:53] Do by the weather channel to buy the weather channel. Yeah, Jesus He is offering 10 billion with a b billion For disney's abc network and cable channels After staffers freak out over boss bob igers cold-blooded and unsentimental plants

[01:09:10] So disney stock is doing like shit, but he's not afraid to sell stuff off and they're all afraid um That he's gonna sell ab specifically abc um You know who's gonna bid for it against him who's gonna bid against him? Who's opie?

[01:09:28] Oh opra she don't want to buy no tv network. She's got her own set of problems everybody's yelling at her about her. Yeah Well, you get to a point at what age are you gonna stop this nonsense? He's not that old he's 62. I think

[01:09:43] He's so cute too. I always wondered when I'd do the show. I'm like Do you really want to do this like? I don't know. He seemed kind of interested. Yeah, very pleasant very nice. Um I don't know. He just seemed distracted

[01:09:59] Maybe he was thinking about all the other money he was making in other places I would have been why am I talking to these four dumb comics? It was four comics in a circle You could find it on youtube

[01:10:07] I was honored a million times and then he would set us up with stuff and then you could do a joke. Jesus. I thought something was on fire Well, dolly when I Dolly candle

[01:10:18] Well, I had to move a couple candles because I was moving somebody brought me this really cool thing It says pubs open pubs closed, but I couldn't get it all organized, but I will um Byron allen

[01:10:29] I mean, it's just amazing and see he tried to buy the Denver Broncos and he quote got a bid so It well, this is what I want to read you. Um

[01:10:39] In 2022 he tried to buy the Broncos a move that would have made him the first black majority owner of an nfl franchise But ultimately he was outbid. Oh Byron come on now Could have done better

[01:10:52] He built a media empire worth a billion through a series of acquisitions like the weather channel, but there's a million other um Just because there's a little tribute to Byron he is

[01:11:06] He was born in 61. How old is he that do the math come on battles by the time he was 18 he was already on What Yeah 60. Are you me? I give this to you because you're good at math He's 62

[01:11:26] That the moonshine working on you your brain ain't working. I've had two shots. You've had two Well, I'm trying to do something here Can't be hammered for the people He was on a tonight show when he was 18

[01:11:41] I did not know this. He was an opening act for dolly parton gladus knight lino richie and the pointer sisters That's back when musicians would have comedians as openers. They don't do that really anymore, but it's also a weird

[01:11:52] Thing I wouldn't really want the gigs. He established a production company in 1993 Um, and then that one didn't do so good He had to redo the whole thing at a multiple foreclosures at one point losing telephone service requiring him to Conduct business via a payphone

[01:12:08] But he didn't give up Byron not a quitter He already had all those nice suit jackets. You can't quit now You've got good wardrobe. Then he went into scripted, uh sitcoms. I don't know these the first family mr. Boxer um, then he started

[01:12:25] These are the things here they uh, they acquired Including film distributor freestyle releasing the griot the weather channel equity stake in sinclair broadcasting acquisition of the fox sports network It's amazing The in october of 2022 his company was valued at 4.5 billion dollars

[01:12:47] He was outbid by a group led by sam walton Well, that shouldn't even be fair no This company was founded in Yeah, I got that Uh, he's been married to the same lady since 2007 Jennifer they have three kids

[01:13:07] He's also on the bottom. It's just amazing. He has residences and he's got houses in aspen Maui Los angeles in new york city then he bought something in Beverly Hills uh and malibu I mean And you never hear about him

[01:13:22] And I'll bet you if you saw if people saw his headshot, they'd be like just regular people not comedians. They'd be like Yeah, I know that guy But they wouldn't know where they know him from right and here he is out buying my favorite channel the weather channel

[01:13:35] and then now he's trying to Do this by abc. That's awesome. I hope he gets it. I hope bob auger gives it to him Because so far he hasn't produced any crap

[01:13:45] Nothing no dog shit. Um, all right. We're gonna talk about this before I get to the lyrics thing Um, this is horrible Well, I officially hate this guy and I don't even really know who he is That's how easily I mean, I never heard of him until this

[01:14:03] Jan winner Apologizes for saying black and female musicians aren't articulate enough for his new book The apology come and he apologizes after what he did but first let's get to what he did And who he is Rolling Stones co-founder

[01:14:25] Rolling stone not stones and I quit reading rolling stone years ago when they wrote a giant article on comedy and it was awful And it wasn't even close to the truth

[01:14:34] And it wasn't even close to what anybody in the business thought and I think they get away with this because nobody's gonna Who's gonna say something right? It's not even the facts that were wrong. It's the opinions that are wrong It's like reading a vantie fair article

[01:14:49] We're like, you know some 80 year old person wrote this article and why comedy is terrible today because we all cost too much or something Like that where you're like, can we go back to bob hope? How fucking old are you? No, I'm not going back to bob hope

[01:15:02] He's the co-founder of rolling stone magazine. He is your apology Um for when he said black and female musicians are not articulate enough to be included in his new book The apology came Saturday night a few hours after rock and roll hall fame foundation was announced

[01:15:15] He was being removed from his position on the board of directors. Well good I hope and I have a list of people he should have spoken to I hope um

[01:15:26] Maybe an wilson called and said you remove that person or i'm coming to get all my shit out of your rock and roll all fame Museum and i'm gonna do this and i'm gonna do that um

[01:15:39] He said he didn't include interviews with black and female musicians because they're He we already read that part. Well, they printed it twice and then he said his apologies almost worse Almost in my interview with the new york times. I made some comments that diminished the contributions

[01:15:54] Genius and impact of black people and when first of all how all the rock and roll stolen From the black people chuck berry fets domino little richard, you know, they're just not live but um He apologizes

[01:16:09] Wholeheartedly the masters is a collection of interviews. I've done over the years that seemed to me to best represent an idea of rock and rolls Impact on my world They were not meant to represent a whole music and it's diverse And it's diverse and important originators

[01:16:25] But to reflect the high points of my career in interviews that I felt illustrated the breath and experience in that career Yeah, it's all about him. They don't They don't reflect my appreciation and admiration um

[01:16:40] For world changing artists whose music and ideas I review and will celebrate and promote as long as I live I totally understand the inflammatory nature of badly chosen words. How about the deed? Your words are just saying what you did

[01:16:54] Deeply apologize and accept the consequences. He interviewed bono bob dillon Jerry Garcia It does not include any interviews with black or female musicians He said, um When I was referring to the ziggeist I was referring to black performers not the female performers

[01:17:13] Okay, just to get that accurate. This is part of his apologies now. He's pissed in your own apology The selection was not a deliberate selection. It was just a kind of intuitive over the years

[01:17:23] It just fell that way the people had to meet a couple of my criteria my criteria But it was just my kind of personal interest in love of them insofar as women Just none of them were as articulate enough on the intellectual level. Oh my god

[01:17:35] It's not that they're not creative geniuses. It's not that they're In articulate although to go have a deep conversation with gray slick or janice joplin. Please be my guest Oh my god

[01:17:47] Well, janice joplin's dead. We can't do that. No, she didn't in my mind meet the test not by her work Not by the other interviews she did the people I interviewed were kind of philosophers of rock of black artists, you know

[01:18:00] Stevie wonder genius, right? I suppose when you use a word as broad as masters That the fault is using that word. So now he's blaming the word you wrote you pick the word Maybe marvin gay or curtis mayfield. I mean they just didn't articulate at that level

[01:18:15] He just keeps digging the whole foot. That's why I read this. I couldn't believe it. Um And then he said um the last part of it because it goes on and on and on Uh the ones that really could articulate it and he goes through his list

[01:18:30] Maybe I should have gone listen to this shit. This is where you're like, oh dude How good google how old this man is jan winner W e n n er jan with two ends He's an american magnet 77 He he wrote he said this in his apology

[01:18:51] Maybe I should have gone and found one black and one one black just not he didn't say person One black and one woman artist to include here that didn't didn't measure up to that same historical standard Just to avert this kind of criticism Wow

[01:19:07] Which I get I had a chance to do that. Maybe I'm on fashion or I don't give a fuck or whatever I wish in retrospect. I could have interviewed marvin gay. Maybe he'd have been the guy Well, they've kept so I'm gonna go through some women jan

[01:19:24] so jan Do you think pat benetars in articulate? I've seen a lot of interviews with pat benetar and usually her husband neil is sitting there And she's very funny and very smart and wilson could probably Word salad your brain in the schmush Jan

[01:19:42] She was crazy smart crazy smart steve. You don't think steve's smart. She's in articulate jone jet Inarticulate I love that ad Where it's that don't be a rock stone act like a rock star in the office and then jone comes in It don't do that

[01:20:00] So maybe jones isn't the hemar star articulate, but she's smart. But how about Yeah, I've seen her when I went to go see my friend dax with cheap trick. She was on the same show and it was it was perfect She was awesome. Yeah

[01:20:15] How about debbie harry? She would kick you in the ass jan You don't even want to get in a room with debbie harry way too smart christie hind Good luck there. It's one of the smartest people ever. Oh, yeah wow

[01:20:26] Gray slick. Oh, he already mentioned her. He didn't like her patty smith Yes, these people are all alive jan could have went and did it at the last minute And then my favorite I say this for PJ harvey

[01:20:40] A lot of people a lot of people probably don't know who that is some of you may Google PJ harvey because once when I did the tonight show when I was very young And I think her and I at the same age

[01:20:51] They were like, oh the musical guest is PJ harvey and I was like, huh, and I was pretty up on music I never heard of her. I think she's she's British. I think she's She american She's ready Well, maybe that's why I didn't know but she came out

[01:21:12] I wish I could find this clip but it was like probably 93 or 94 In this crazy ass outfit and the tonight show audience to give you an idea Is very usually Middle america type people Like one time I did it

[01:21:28] And you could see the audience which I don't like because you usually never do that in a comedy club or wherever You can't it's dark, but a man had a fishing hat on with lures on it What?

[01:21:39] Yeah, it was his hat. You know, he's very proud of it. I guess. I don't know. He's also ready to go fishing um good for you grandpa, but PJ harvey came out and all I kept thinking is the guy in the fishing hat because her music was so

[01:21:55] Weird Even I was like super. Whoa. What was that? That was weird and the audience she got done and they were like Then they'll hold up signs on the side if no one's clap

[01:22:07] And it's like blanking off the audience is like, oh sorry. Tell them what we're supposed to do. Sorry. Sorry. That's all me. Um Anyway, all of these women Why don't you just say it jan?

[01:22:20] You don't think they're as good as the men if you're not going to apologize properly and you're not going to mean your apology Then just go all out like the the no apology people do that whole crowd of never apologize

[01:22:31] Just keep digging the hole deeper because you don't quote give a fuck. I just that is so terrible that you would forget all those women Melissa athridge like and you couldn't what how about Lenny Kravitz? You want a black rock and roll guy?

[01:22:45] Yeah, oh, he's fine enough to get up to the rock of old and hand out awards He's always up there handing out something the thing but quest love. Yeah Yeah Come on All right, that's enough for the rock. It's enough when you get mad

[01:23:00] Um, it's it's lyric time. You know, you know that means we're coming to an end Yeah, um First we're gonna Read and I'm gonna try to sing this Well, I can't sing but at least to give you the melody um
