Episode 152: Throwing the First Pitch, The Wienermobile Returns, & Taylor and The Tight End

[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. Tarmites! Episode 152! Oh my, so many things. This was a crazy weekend. Crazy great weekend. So fun.

[00:00:38] Um, you may notice some of our queens are now dressed up like paper dolls. Stevie has been given my Wrigleyville jersey that I wore to throw out the first pitch at the Cobbs game. We'll talk about that. And Tay-Tay, maybe just a little louder.

[00:00:53] Tay-Tay has on my chief's jersey that I have in the closet when I go to chief's games. We have all kinds of queen news, but first we have a little clean up to do.

[00:01:04] Long overdue shout out to Roberta who made a giant quilt or purchased it, I couldn't tell. Oh no, she made it. Which is amazing. It's this big foot thing. Baby can't stirrify it. I laid it all out and she's like whoa, whoa, whoa.

[00:01:22] She made it out of the last special. She was supposed to see me in Charleston but had to get her tickets away. She think one of the children at the box office used them. And then she was at the Borgata. But this all got mixed up.

[00:01:31] A lot of the post office stuff and then things coming home and then they ship stuff back. And sometimes if you're late don't worry I'll get to it. I don't lose hardly anything. These termites made me laugh. I got a lot of birthday cards for you guys.

[00:01:47] I'm not opening them to my birthday. This one I didn't know was a birthday card. So they have a birthday community comedian which we can all agree on. They're coming to Richmond. Whitney, 51, Andrew, 49 and Claire, 14. They're friendly comments. That's nice.

[00:02:03] And they're all friendly and all the people are considered relatively clean slash normal. Right. Yep. Not too eccentric. There was so much. Let's start in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. I'll go through this pretty quickly. People you know what's crazy?

[00:02:19] Every state I go to, I Google what is the drunkest city in the state? And if you Google it, Eau Claire, Wisconsin is the drunkest city in Wisconsin. Which kind of surprised me. I would have thought Madison or Milwaukee or Green Bay. But Green Bay is awfully small.

[00:02:35] But my cousin Mike is there. And if they are the drunkest city, if that is true, that's what it says on the Google machine. I would like to think that our family contributed to Wednesday night being, oh my God, big blowout with the cousins.

[00:02:51] I got to see Mike's new baby. Yeah, go to the line in Kugel Brewery. If you ever want to go to that, that's in Eau Claire. Well, it could be other places. I don't know, but I've only been to the one in Eau Claire. That's the mothership?

[00:03:03] Is that it? Yeah. It was super duper fun. I got stuff. So I got a line in Kugel Pintglass from Amy, Erin and Kim. That is the And Forever Stamps. I don't know why I'm getting Forever Stamps now, but my friend maybe because of Hippie Mint.

[00:03:18] Well his real name is John Novus Edd. If you go look up this comedian, John Novus Edd, he has the funniest thing on Forever Stamps that I've ever heard. That that's where he put all his money in. He was way before crypto.

[00:03:30] He decided that Forever Stamps was going to be the thing that was going to make him rich. But hey, I'll take them. They are Forever Stamps. They said it's from your show. From my butt. Yeah, but no, I just do a joke about that.

[00:03:44] I don't have Forever Stamps. I just do jokes about the love of the post office. This little toy, little packer. Yeah, I love the packers. Very happy for Jordan Love and Company because I thought Erin was being a big baby and I know it's hard.

[00:03:59] Green Bay to let go of a classic, but you shouldn't let him bitch you around like that. I didn't like him bitch lepping that down around. They're good fans. They should not be fine. Let him go. You don't know if you like me anymore.

[00:04:11] Fuck you out the door and boom, Jordan Love is doing great. Yes, helping in my fantasy league as well. So Eau Claire and that was it's this place called the Pablo Performing Art Center. It was really funky, most performing art centers.

[00:04:24] I got to say are a little sterile. It's not like I mean the crowds are good, but the atmosphere. This place was super funky. I was very proud of Eau Claire. Yeah, moving on to Madison. Thank you to everybody who brought stuff.

[00:04:38] Sherry brought back a super cool podcast theme. Taylor. Oh, my Taylor Swift friendship bracelet. Yeah. And they said fire. I wore them on stage. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Baby cat. I think. Yeah. So I wore those.

[00:04:54] I like cowboy hat, which I then gave to the opener told Aaron to wear. Laurie Mary Pam and Karen, the McBride twins brought that there's so much good food because Madison I had a bratwurst downtown. Madison was content by the way, one of the greatest college towns.

[00:05:11] I don't know why people in Missouri. I feel like Midwest people aren't as exposed to options as the coastal kids like my friends that are grew up on the coast. They knew all kinds of about a Missouri.

[00:05:23] I was told you're going to Mizzou or if you're an asshole, go to Kansas. I'm like, why would I be an asshole if I went to Kansas? Well, because now you're in Kansas, and you're in Kansas, Kathleen. Well, okay, then why'd you bring it up?

[00:05:37] Am I an asshole if I go to Illinois? It's very stay where you're at. So I wish somebody would have told me about Madison, Wisconsin. The downtown is hopping. There's all kinds of cool old tiny houses downtown. It's just the theater was great.

[00:05:54] The food, I went to some broth house. I think it was called the state street. Is it on this one? Is that where I went? Yeah, state street brats. And they have their own, like you go, they bring you, they wait on servers, but then

[00:06:10] you go decorate, put all your own stuff on your. Decorate your condiment bar. Yeah, I drank a ton of Spotify. I got a ton backstage. Thank you. I got a mule.

[00:06:20] Um, I did mule one six back home for safety and nobody at Delta called me out as a drunk. I don't know if they look in my big bag that I check because sometimes the opener always give me shit. Why are you checking luggage?

[00:06:34] I'm like, you don't know what I bring home and you're not gonna, you're not gonna know what I bring home. That bag goes out empty. That bag comes home with local liquors and all kinds of shit. Nobody really needs to know about.

[00:06:46] So the McBride twins brought cheese curds, all this stuff and anything that I can't take home is either shared with the staff. The staff gets so excited. Yeah. Yeah, cause now they've heard about all this stuff.

[00:06:57] Uh, oh my big foot bumper sticker, Colin Andrew, Amy and Lou slippers. Very nice. And Wisconsin beer and cheese from Trisha and Tori and Jamie a shirt, which made me very happy. Um, and then I had a car from somebody else. We're almost onto Queen news here.

[00:07:17] Madison was just great. Where did these people from? Oh, the Haribu Bear people. Yes. Well, what am I drinking? I didn't even do that. I'm so Chicago's famous for this popcorn. If you don't know it and it's, it's super delicious, but they also make a beer.

[00:07:31] The Carmel Chris Carmel popcorn ale, which is just, it's Garrett. So if you're in that Chicago airport, Oh hair, which also looks like Poland circa 1972, just saying Oh hair needs an upgrade. They need new stuff. I don't know what's the problem. What is that? Like a mob thing?

[00:07:47] Is that what we're gonna? I don't know. It's popcorn. Is it revolution again? They make everything. Seven percent alcohol. Nice. Yeah, can't ask me to read these cans even with glasses on. That's fun. I don't know. Sorry. Chicago, it says Chicago, Illinois. Revolution. Yeah, I found it. Yeah.

[00:08:11] But if you do go through Oh hair, you're going to see an abnormal amount of popcorn. And that's what this thing is because it's a big deal in Chicago. I'm OK. I'm on popcorn isn't just something I think of. It would be my mom's thing.

[00:08:24] So and I even have some of this. This got brought backstage. It's Garrett's. It's it's the Carmel. Yeah. Oh, it's both. Cheese and caramel. Yeah. Wow. That's what they're known for. Maybe that's why I never got it. Is there no corn?

[00:08:43] Well, no, because of the caramel part would I be like, no, normally I would say no. It's sweet and savory. It's really good. Wow. We just lost you. I can tell. Wow. No, I got put that away. That's terrible. I'll give him 50 pounds.

[00:08:57] And then I got the butter from the the broth house. Stay tree brats. Oh my God. Those Wisconsin Germans. The horsefers and so. They're good at it. It's amazing Wisconsin is not in the top five fat estates and they're not. Really? They should be. The shit they eat.

[00:09:18] I don't know how anybody lives over 50. I'm glad they're there. I also like that. It seems to be that everybody in Wisconsin has agreed upon an extra 15 pounds is good for you. Yeah. Yeah, nobody's super concerned about being thin, which I appreciate. Good for you guys.

[00:09:36] Otherwise you're not fine. Right. Does that mean you're not going to eat your bratwurst? Does that mean we're not going to have popcorn? What does that mean? So the caramel popcorn ale and then this made me laugh so hard. So Haribou bears that I believe.

[00:09:58] I read on the thing originally from Turkey. Yes, they're the gummy bears. And they're your favorite non pot ones. They're my favorite thing on earth. I do not like the green ones. Every other color, I separate the green soldiers from the rest and I kill them first.

[00:10:14] I don't think about them having factories in America or offices in America or anything in America. And this lady wrote, first off, love everything you do include podcast, encouraging workers. So imagine our surprise while listening to episode 150 for my desk in Haribou, USA and

[00:10:30] Rosemont, Illinois, and you explain you now enjoy our gummy bears, especially while you fly. I don't leave home without them. No, I have forgotten my contacts. I have forgotten eyeglasses. I have forgotten my night guard and grinded my teeth down to fucking stumps.

[00:10:45] There are sometimes I've forgotten pants, but I've never forgotten gummy bears. And I won't eat any other kind. I don't know if it's Delta American, but somebody tries to hand you this bullshit bag of gummy bears and I'm like that. It's Haribou or nothing. Is it? Yeah, organic.

[00:11:03] Stop it. I'm eating a rubber piece of candy. Stop it. Um, so they sent some bears, but it's just and then there's stationary. It's Haribou bears. See Google it. See if it's Turkey.

[00:11:17] If I read that right on the bag, because I always think, wow, I can't think of one thing made in Turkey. I'm sure they make things, but I'm not aware of them. Turkish coffee. Yeah. A Turkish rug. How many Turkish? I have a big foot blanket.

[00:11:33] I have, I have one rug that my sister gave me from her basement. I do not have a Turkish rug. Yeah. Kesseneck, Bonne, Germany. Germany. Yeah. Why did I? Are you sure there's nothing about Turkey? Yep. The Haribou is German candy. Yeah. All right.

[00:11:53] Well, yay for the Germans. Shout out to Turkey. I'm shouting out Turkey for your rugs and your coffee. Hadn't even thought about that. Hilarious. Um, No, they sound like... 20 pounds of gummy stuff. That's awesome. The gummy stuff is great, and then I don't run out.

[00:12:07] And even my friend, um, Kathy, who's nicknamed Steven, but then we're all nicknamed Steven. It's a joke, but uh, for Christmas or my birthday, she sends me a giant thing of the tiny packs. And then I have one tiny pack with Avayka Kranberry on the plane.

[00:12:23] Because she knows you're an addict. She knows I won't eat anything else. And I don't like their snacks on planes. They try to come up with these organic things and it just doesn't work. Flying is just near, right? They're, let's not act like this can ever be healthy.

[00:12:40] We're all breathing the same air. Um, so shout out to that. And then, uh, oh my God, I got my Hallmark snack bowl. I'll have to bring that up for, I did make it home with that. That's from Wayne Christie, Ron Haley, Greg Leslie, Detroit,

[00:12:54] termites that came to Chicago, the Garities, 9-5 different versions of Tatoes, my favorite chips, Irish chips. Uh, Danielle and Paul, Irish snacks, and the robot toy for uh, baby cat. I saw that when I came in. Uh, it works.

[00:13:08] It just, it was already charged and she, what a craze, but she's also, I'm figuring, she's a little like me, old school, somebody gave her balls with bells in them and she liked that. Oh, they gave her that too? That was her all time favorite.

[00:13:21] The other one I think is a little confusing, because it makes a noise. The ball, she's a little stupid. I mean, I would play with the non-techie one too. I'd go old school, just give me that one. It's easy, it's easy.

[00:13:33] Um, oh my God, there's so much other stuff. Marie and Jennifer, Hot Sauce, Sanny and Ray, there was something to, something, oh, the, um, Marshall Fields Mint Chocolate from Matthew. I know, fancy, I will eat one and then they will

[00:13:49] go straight to my mom, but that doesn't mean they're not enjoyed. Not appreciated. No. Rabbit Brewed Local Beer, Theresa and Ginny, Irish snacks, Lori, I got all of it. So I appreciate everything that came backstage. Um, and the, the throwing out the first pitch

[00:14:03] in Chicago, peep, everyone could not have been nicer. Uh, there was a, one of the children was in charge of me, Jade, very, very nice, very organized, very on the ball. And when you go to throw the first pitch out, it's very nerve-wracking because it's very fast.

[00:14:18] How'd you feel? Nervous, because there's too many people around the play and then I threw it to the mascot, Clark. It was a beautiful day. And Aaron, my friend had played catch with me the night before backstage in Madison. Um, it's nerve-wracking because there's so many groups they,

[00:14:33] and I'm not the only one throwing out the first pitch. I was the closer, but there were two other people and they're like, here's the stand up to cancer people. Here's the people from the charity down the road and here's the people from 9-11 and then,

[00:14:44] and then they're like, and now go throw the ball and then you have to run out there and then they're like, don't forget to hug the bear. Boom. And so like through the ball, I totally forgot to hug the bear. And then I had to hug Clark.

[00:14:55] So I had to go back out. I'm like, sorry, sorry. The mascot's chasing me. Chase is chasing guys. Yeah, so Stevie, another one of the children that they call them, one of the youngsters. I'm her parents' favorite comedian,

[00:15:09] so they came to the show and then I met them backstage and yeah, there was a couple of termites that I talked to out getting a hot dog. Lots of termites everywhere out in the general public and everybody totally normal, totally nice.

[00:15:25] Like nobody was just, nobody was super weird and I thought it was awesome that Stevie's mom's name is Jolene. You don't really meet people named Jolene like it's the name Dolly made up for the, yeah. So it's so much thank you to Chicago Cubs.

[00:15:41] As a Cardinal fan, I did feel like I was teetering on being a traitor but not this year. The Cardinals are so bad and nobody called them as, I have thrown out the first b****** Cardinal game but nobody called this year

[00:15:54] and my second most fun city of baseball in my life has been Chicago. So I see no reason not to do that. They gave me a wonderful jersey. I gotta get it hammed a little bit. It's a little crazy, it's a little big, yeah.

[00:16:08] I don't think they probably, they probably were like, oh shoot, she looked a lot taller on TV instead of real. It says, oh my God, what is she like, 4'8"? Yeah, it's really cool though. It's got my name on the back. I might just frame it, yeah.

[00:16:19] It's really cool. Would you do it again? I would do it again. Yeah. But I would make myself just calm down a little bit just because she does run out there and do it right now. Maybe I walk a little slower.

[00:16:29] Maybe I gather my thoughts for two seconds. And then I got to lead the seventh inning stretch which was so fun but at the Cubs stadium the organ players like down four sound boosts away from you and they do tell you this. They're like, okay here's Josh.

[00:16:44] I think his name was Josh. Here's Josh and he's gonna, here's what's gonna happen but then when you walk out of his little area and then go boom, boom, boom, boom, down four cubicles away it's kind of hard to hear the start

[00:16:55] and then you're like what if I fuck? I can't even sing. What am I doing? I'm like why did I agree to any of this? Hopefully though, I've seen Bill Murray do it and he can't sing so I'm like well I'll just do it.

[00:17:06] That was less nerve wracking than throwing out the first pitch. Right. Well you got it. It was sold out because the Cubs are still in it and they won the game and I'm so sad because I had to go to work.

[00:17:19] I had to leave after seven things stretching. I could hear the cheers since I was walking in that car. Oh my God, yeah. But it had excellent parking too. Like to thank Jade for that. The children know what they're doing. I couldn't believe where I got to park.

[00:17:33] I'm like this is crap. Throw out the first pitch everywhere I buy a ticket to. I'm gonna call. I don't even care if I've never heard anybody in the team. Texas Rangers? Hello. Kathleen Madigan performing in Texas. Do you need anybody? Did anybody call in sick?

[00:17:46] I'm gonna get on the call in sick list. You better keep playing catch. Yeah, I know. It's further than you think. And I made it. At least I threw it straight because while practicing with Aaron, I had a couple of what I call flare outs.

[00:18:00] Well jokingly and me and Aaron can say this because we're comics and he's our friend, but Josh Blue is terrible palsy. Sometimes if Josh throws a ball, they can get a little nutty. Just... I threw like a few that I went,

[00:18:17] well, there's a Josh Blue right in and give it back. Sorry, sorry, sorry. I'm just glad I didn't do that. It went straight, but it bounced, but whatever. That was the Chicago theater. The Chicago theater is so beautiful. It's enormous though. Sometimes I shouldn't say this,

[00:18:35] but I wonder if it's too big for comedy. But then I don't know there's comedas running around doing arenas. I don't ever want it to be that big. I feel like it's not... I feel like the people in the audience are kind of my friends.

[00:18:46] Like, I don't want it to get too crazy. But when the lights are on and it's a shame because when people come in, I don't think they get to really see... Oh my God. And my friend Drew McCoy worked on it for years and years and years.

[00:18:58] He said it almost killed him. He's an electrician guy. Yeah, so they had to do a remake of it back in the day. I mean, it's absolutely gorgeous and you can't believe your name is on there when you started at clubs in Chicago.

[00:19:11] It's Aine's and the Funny Bones and the Improvs and the Funny Firm if your old unit would remember that one. And to get from there to there, you just would never think that was possible. Like I see the Chicago theater and I think that's for Anita Baker.

[00:19:24] Little Tiny Anita right here. Boom, boom. Yeah, she's like a Chicago theater act. Like big, you know, on a big band. Feel good? You like it? Well, it feels weird. Like Aaron said, it's kind of lonely. I go, I know it's like we need dancers.

[00:19:40] Especially and Aaron's way bigger than me and it's like you just kind of feel, I don't know, I don't really think about it, I suppose except during soundcheck I think about it because I look around and I'm like, holy shit, this place is big. And I love it.

[00:19:53] I mean, I'm happy everybody came and had a great time. It's an old school union house and they know exactly what they're doing and they do it boom, boom, boom. They never quit. I'm happy to see them all. They all remember. Nice. Fun.

[00:20:09] Yeah, it was a great time. Did you have a hot dog while you were there? I did have a hot dog at the game. Yes, I had a hot dog at the game. They gave you these fancy passes into the... There's one in Nashville

[00:20:20] at the Predators game called the... What's the club called? The Lexis Lounge. The Lexis Lounge, right? That's the fancy club. And they say they have the same food as what's out there but I don't believe it. Never have believed it.

[00:20:34] It's better in there but I don't want it to be better. I want it to taste like the food out there. Can I get a shittier hot dog? Yeah, so I went out and bought a shittier hot dog and said no to the free hot dog. The 1940s...

[00:20:44] Aaron Weber by the way was the opening act at the shows. A lot of people really liked him and wanted to know his name. A-A-R-O-N Weber. If you want to find him online. Put it in the show. He headlines his own stuff. He goes all around.

[00:20:56] He told me he was going to catch a can of Alaska this week. Wow. I know. I was like, whoa. That was fun. It's going to be weird after the Chicago theater. But not, but not. He goes with me a lot so... Okay. Moving on.

[00:21:15] There's the Queen News. I usually like to do stories on here that are not done everywhere else because I feel like they're overdone but it cannot be ignored. The Tay-Tay chief's Instagram. His Jersey sales went up by 400%. So even if this is all a publicity stunt. It worked.

[00:21:38] It worked. He has another 300,000 followers. He has another 300,000. Yeah, but they're going to be like, this guy's like weird. They're not going to like it after a while. They're going to follow him because she's with her now. Boom, boom, boom. Yeah. In the booth with the mom

[00:21:54] and her dancer guy and screaming let's fucking go and somebody caught that at the moment he scored and he did his little dance and I'm like, oh this is just working out on every, there's Tay-Tay fans heads exploding right now and the people as long as

[00:22:09] if I have Kelsey in my the league against the children and I'm like, I don't care what's motivating this man and I love that they're all still like teenage boys or is like, my girlfriend's here could you throw me the ball a lot?

[00:22:23] And Patrick's like, yeah, well I knew she was here so I figured I had to get him the ball and I'm like, this is fantastic. Points, points, points. Shut up, Tay-Tay, sit up there. But she also in smart queen news she encouraged your children

[00:22:37] to go register to vote and over 35,000 new registered people that said they did it because of her. That's how they're proving it. So and I thought she's a horse of nature. It's getting crazy. I've never seen anything like it. The Beatles?

[00:22:56] Yeah, they took her out in a popcorn cabinet and rolled her out. But then I think, what kind of life is this? But she doesn't seem to mind. They rented out a restaurant in Kansas City for the big after party. If anybody still had reservations

[00:23:08] she paid for all of their meals and then they waited. They kicked them out and sounds his mom went I'm sure his mom was like, who's coming in the box? Do what? Did he come see her? Yeah. Is this the one our granddaughters like? This made me laugh.

[00:23:32] So there's quite a few newspapers and media outlets that have a specific reporter for Taylor Swift. That's all they do. Yeah. This person's last name. I don't think I have their first. Johnny Olinsky. He recently left to become the Taylor Swift reporter for the Tennessee adduce paper

[00:23:55] which is owned by USA Today parent, Gannett. Here he describes his intense daily schedule on the high pressure Swift beat. I don't think I could do this for a living but good for the kids for doing it. He may not even be a kid. I don't know.

[00:24:13] He said, and you thought a White House being a White House correspondent was hard. I'm the Tennesseans news Taylor Swift reporter based in New York City. I exhaustively covered T-Swifts every step of the Black SUV waiting right outside of it. It's a super tough job. I certainly empathize

[00:24:29] with how Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein must have felt while working on their similarly vital coverage of Richard Nixon's. Richard Nixon, how many Grammys did he win again? Right. I taught in college to speak truth to power. Instead I speak truth to Taylor.

[00:24:45] A day in my $50 an hour life is an intellectually rigorous socially complex and jam-packed with important world altering activity. But they are desperate to hear about T-T's girls dying out with Blake Lively. Interest-interdating life has increased ever since her breakup with Joe Alwyn.

[00:25:03] She's recently been linked to, yeah we know Travis Kelzium. By the way if you don't watch football he's a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. He seems like a shit ton of fun. I don't know. His brother has a whole thing on Netflix.

[00:25:17] I haven't watched it yet. I haven't had time but I want to watch it. My friend Dory said it's good. But she's an Eagles person and they're a little psycho about anything that Eagles. You have to take everything they say with a grain of salt.

[00:25:31] He gets a lunch hour but it's not very long and then he follows her around there's a picture of him. Yeah he's young enough. He doesn't even miss his job as a post-movie critic because Taylor has a new film coming out. Right? We've already covered

[00:25:47] that. And I just think wow he said I didn't break a major story this time so I'm just going to shake, shake, shake it off and do it all over again tomorrow. Ka-ching! Good for him. Yeah, it made me laugh. So that's the Tay-Tay news.

[00:26:05] I don't see that romance lasting. Sorry to be a buzzkill Tay-Tay people. She's going all over the world. He's got to play football. The Chiefs are good. They'll be in it till January. I didn't even mention I was eating these potatoes chips from Rockfield to Illinois.

[00:26:21] Somebody brought them to the Chicago theater. They're called Old Salty's. Potato chips are really good. And who else is from Rockfield to Illinois? Cheap Trick! My favorite people, the drummer, Dad and his wife Heather and their Viking children that look like perfect Vikings.

[00:26:43] They should have had a hundred. I'm like, when you have kids that good looking, you don't stop it too. The world's full of ugly people. Let's get going. You quit your job on TV. We'll pay your stay-off. Queen news, Regal Yaville. Stevie

[00:27:01] is a... This is what I love about Stevie because basically she's a road comic. When people say how long is your tour? Well, 34 years so far, I'll let you know. Stevie never stops. I've seen a lot of these people like Red Hot Chili Peppers,

[00:27:17] oh we took three years off and now we have a new album. Now we're going on a tour. So when Stevie says a new headlining tour I'm like, who are we kidding? We knew that was happening. I mean unless she gets sick or something

[00:27:29] or she's never going to get bored. She takes those dogs on the road. What's left at home? Nothing! My friend Steve Cocker in Chicago he goes, I know you love Stevie Nicks. I know everything about her but I did walk her dog

[00:27:44] for about 20 minutes one night back here. I go, why what? She just handed me the leash and said do you want to take the dog for a walk? But I thought she was going with me. And I said no, yeah sure, I'll walk the dog.

[00:27:56] She goes great, walk me the other way. And here's the dog. For the second year of Rose Stevie Nicks will perform a limited run of North American shows. Thank God not with Billy Joel. I mean Billy Joel is fine. But I don't understand that combo.

[00:28:13] It's not for me. And it doesn't work for a lot of people. I'm not in just, he's fine. But if I want to pay to see Billy Joel I'll do that but don't mix it up. It's like Kentucky fried chicken and a taco bill in the same building.

[00:28:27] Doesn't make any sense to me. No. She's got an eight date headlining tour scheduled for early 2024. If you'd like to know the general sale will begin Friday, September 29th via Live Nation. Here's where she's going. Atlantic City, Belmont Park, New York Greenville, South Carolina, Hollywood

[00:28:47] Florida, New Orleans, Louisiana that's the one I want to go to. Do you know how many perfect witches will show up in the crowd? Dressed like and they already have the outfits. Omaha, Nebraska What? It's weird routing. And then North Rock Little North Little Rock. That's weird routing

[00:29:08] from Nebraska She does have a jet. Well she has a jet. I know but she's got to get her stuff there. It fits on the jet. She's got a big stage and then Arlington, Texas 18. So if you want to go to Stevie, there you go.

[00:29:26] Don't say you weren't told here. Don't say you weren't told here. Update! Speaking of women, singer people, well first of all before I go to update well because I keep forgetting to say this. So my friend Kelly McFarland comedian, very very funny she's really into podcasts

[00:29:48] cause she drives and goes up to Maine and she's from the Northeast she told me about and then my friend Lorraine told me about Scamanda the podcast and then I told Aaron cause we had a lot of driving this weekend and if you haven't listened to Scamanda

[00:30:02] Aaron who I never picture writing me anything texted he drove later and he goes this bitch is crazy I said she faked cancer but for eight years together money and then you can't even believe that people I mean people are nice you want to believe them

[00:30:22] but it went on and on then she'd say the cancer went away cause she got pregnant who believed that? Like if that was the case then everybody with cancer would get pregnant yeah and go oh it erases really pregnancy erases cancer what the fuck were people thinking

[00:30:36] they kept giving a money it's a people can say it's so healthy yeah just if you buckle in cause it's a wonderful podcast and it's produced really well cause sometimes I get super annoyed nothing against people well I won't even get into it but sometimes

[00:30:56] I don't like the actors we don't need all that for a podcast in my opinion just tell me what flipped and happened I like it on Dateline cause I know those voices I know who's especially well it's my boyfriend Keith Morrison

[00:31:10] that's the guy who just doesn't give a shit about Botox and I love it no no these wrinkles tell us story every line on my face is a different episode Kathleen Madigan hasn't watched anyway that is a wonderful podcast I highly recommend it it's another one

[00:31:32] that I got tricked into yep and I'm very against it I've never been against a podcast it's called people who knew me now I did not read carefully so it's really my fault and I understand that but it was also some trickery involved produced by Lionsgate well apparently

[00:31:52] it was a book I didn't know that it says about a lady who faked her own death after 9-11 and then ran off to California and then was pregnant and then had to deal with the fallout of all that so I thought I had heard that people

[00:32:06] faked their own death after 9-11 so I thought oh okay I listened to the whole flipping thing like six hours of my life it's all made up yeah it's all fake I was like what what do you fuck what well and I did I said to Aaron

[00:32:24] I said well I'm in this thing I go but doesn't really have a lot of details like if you're gonna fake your own death if she had not planned that how'd you get on a plane without an ID and your ID would have said you

[00:32:38] I had all these questions you left your mom your cousins did this and you nobody ever came look well the reason it doesn't make any sense is because it was made up it should say fake or real I mean dad do not like being tricked like that

[00:32:52] I'm just not recommending it strong anti-recommendation and I've never said that in a 152 episode negative negative stars fakeery trickery fraudstery God what a waste of my time you know how many date lines I could have listened to six whole date lines in there update

[00:33:15] female singers since we're on the path Katy Perry has sold the rights to her entire music catalog to the tune of 225 million worth it I think somebody may have overpaid a little tiny bit on that Katy Perry right I kissed a girl and I liked it fun song

[00:33:39] but you would know others teenage queen I don't know litmus music they own the rights to all five of her studio recordings have fun yep they own the Harleys in Hawaii the music maker series to her masters as well as publishing rights to all five albums 225 million

[00:34:02] Katy Perry the greatest hits yes see if I don't know the most google biggest does she have a greatest hit does she have a greatest hit that's a good place to start a greatest hit CD teenage dream I don't know I'm just saying there's another 225 million

[00:34:24] okay update update so you know I was obsessed with the hacking and they never paid it their stuff was destroyed they had to rebuild it to the tune of over 80 million dollars oh crazy things are still happening out there yeah a bunch of dealers got paid today

[00:34:41] and they shouldn't have been paid today and they don't know why they were paid and then other people that should have been paid were not paid yeah it's still it's all blinky-blinky like like no well turns out guess who was doing the hacking the children

[00:34:57] no this is why you have to respect young people I'm kidding anybody that I see under 25 I assume is a threat to my entire existence and can destroy me in a moment somehow through my phone on my computer they could fuck up my airline tickets I just know

[00:35:17] that they're super powerful then I don't even know what they're talking about I don't know what they're doing it's all on their phone you know hacks points to an alliance yeah and I'm the lady would you like protection no do you want an update maybe later

[00:35:31] I don't know when the phone's ever going to click into all this lady ever says is maybe later and that lady's never going to do it and then eventually they'll go your shit won't work unless you do it right now

[00:35:41] and I go maybe later and then they go okay how about two in the morning and then it just does it so it's like clearly you have a deadline android so I don't have to do it it's funny because my uncle agreed with me

[00:35:55] he's like yeah I just hit maybe later I'm like yeah I don't want your updates I don't ever want an update of on my technology just leave it the way it is it's fine MGM Caesar's casino hacks points to an alliance of teens and ransomware gangs

[00:36:15] recent hacks of inter-seizure entertainment and casinos owned by MGM were probably carried out by teens and young adults who have allied themselves with one of the world's most notorious ransomware gangs part of the trend that is alarm security experts and defenders of the corporate computer networks

[00:36:29] as my friend lorraine said if you're the United States government and she's not joking and I'm not joking you need I know you can't hire them at 14 or 15 but 16 year olds you're gonna have to that's where you gotta start you can't hire a 30 year old

[00:36:45] to combat no no Starbucks right known by a variety of names by security firms including scattered spider the group is tied to a telegram account that boasted last week of the hack and it was as of last Thursday still going on they're vague about the

[00:37:07] makeup of the group agreeing that mainly the members are English speaking so it's not the Russian children financially motivated been very active in the past two years targeting large companies via stolen employee credentials and tricks such as convincing high tech support employees that they have been

[00:37:23] accidentally locked out of their computers and need a new password they move from cryptocurrency thefts to targeting businesses that provide third party business functions such as help desk and call center staffing allowing them to infiltrate networks of many customers and they extorted and they extorted western digital

[00:37:43] and other technology firms after sealing internal data before heading for jackpots in Vegas now here's my question I'm going to have to research this let's say I'm one of the children and I'm super smart but I've chosen evil over good and I'm gonna let's say like

[00:38:01] Caesar's paid the ransom they claim there's rumors it was $15 million so let's say you're in charge of 15 of these I don't know how many children it will take let's even say 30 we're going to divide the money okay but I have to put it in a bank

[00:38:19] a checking account there's not bags of cash I'm sure it's in crypto parents don't know they're doing this I don't think they would do it in crypto because they've moved on from crypto so I'm saying how do you how does the government not find out

[00:38:35] they're gonna find out and you're gonna owe taxes on that that taxes talk to Al Capone talk to Al Capone and they're gonna send everybody down nobody's tracking they don't know where it went it's probably like in Switzerland or something you're saying they took it offshore

[00:38:55] and we can't find it if they can hack MGM they can open a check they can hide money in the Bahamas somebody's gonna be responsible for a check bill I'm telling you the IRS is relentless some yeah 4 million dollars yeah they're down with me at US Bank

[00:39:18] hey man you're not gonna believe the payout we got from Caesar's last week I'm gonna go through the drive-thru with 8 million make it rain head game stop here's another thing Vegas oh my god a couple more updates you too Vegas this is very sad

[00:39:38] it's been a bad week for Vegas really it has and I'm going back there I don't remember when but I'll be at the mirage again if you're looking for me so the Formula 1 racing as an American I don't really get it

[00:39:52] I don't think a lot of Americans do I well here's another thing okay you're saying they can set up these offshore accounts fine fine fine now let's go back just for a minute but if I live in America they're saying English speaking call it Canada North America somewhere

[00:40:08] up here United States of Canada I'm gonna spend that money here you're gonna spend it a lot of places it's a global economy right but if I go buy $100,000 Denali Yukon deal there's a record of that yes you take the bag of cash

[00:40:24] where are they gonna get the cash you gotta cash your cash in what are they gonna then go wash their money in a casino they got a money launder I have seen oceans 11 every time I see them and every time I see them

[00:40:40] and every time I see them and every time I'm in Vegas I like to pretend it's going on while I'm there it's just bags of money here's the other bad news for Vegas so Formula 1 racing I don't get it I get NASCAR

[00:40:54] it's not my thing but I understand it the F1 sporting world of the super rich the super elite I don't even have the first idea I don't understand when they race through Monte Carlo where are you going where did you come from I don't know it's sold out

[00:41:14] globally so Vegas bagged and bagged and they got this F1 race that's coming in November they have torn down the entire strip everything you can recognize not everything but they're wrecking the front of treasure island as we speak the Mirage volcano gone, Bellagio fountains

[00:41:30] gone, they cut down the trees in front of the Bellagio the trees the only place where I could walk and feel like I was actually outside they're old and they claim they're going to replace them but I don't believe them well I think the locals are not

[00:41:48] happy with any of this my friends at work in Vegas and my little texting pals no one's thrilled with the idea of it they were a quarter century old for the grandstand because the thing is cool that the race is going to go down this strip

[00:42:11] it's cool for the drivers it's cool for the fans that are right out front which will only be a certain amount of people because the rest of us would be saying I can't I don't have $3,500 not even counting my beers so this week when they were building it

[00:42:27] a guy died he got lacerated in the neck and he had to be pulled out of the water in the fountain it's bad luck I don't think this is a good idea but this is Vegas they tear shit down they don't care it's their personality 1130 after a worker

[00:42:51] suffered a major laceration to the neck after being transported to the local hospital he was pronounced dead further details have yet to be made public the grand prix is set to wind its way through downtown passing all major landmarks this will include Caesars Palace

[00:43:07] the Bellagio Venetian in the sphere per F1 it's a 3.8 mile track a feature 14 corners is set to cost around $560 million to construct the thing a multi-story paddock building is being constructed off the strip at a cost of $480 million well downtown is trying to get fixed up in Vegas

[00:43:27] one step at a time but I mean this money could have really helped them it would be the third time the city has hosted a grand prix with downtown also playing host between F1 in 1981 and 1982 I don't remember that it's crazy just saying I don't think it's

[00:43:47] the best of luck speaking to the children update speaking to the evil children Sam Bankman Freed our little crypto child who was asked to be released from prison he's got all kinds of dietary things and medication things the judge was just like whore shit you're not getting out

[00:44:16] shut up whore shit they have vegan meals his parents I thought they were in on it the whole time I'm not just saying that now I probably have already said that on the podcast because they're defending him way too much

[00:44:32] if my parents found out I did something like that they I would get thrown under a bus before anyone else could my parents would throw me under a bus and go that little shit we always knew she was sneaky she can lie they would just be like

[00:44:48] if you did it which they should his parents were given a $16 million house paid for entirely by FTX what? yup it's being alleged that Joseph Bankman and Barbara Freed exploited their access and influence within FTX it's a hard one enterprise to enrich themselves they siphon millions of dollars

[00:45:12] for their own personal benefits and they're chosen pet causes what are your pet causes what kind of pet causes do you have do you mean actual pets or do you mean your favorites it's a 30,000 square foot property referred to as blue water yup the total cash payment was 18,914,000

[00:45:34] wow neither Bankman nor Freed contributed their own money towards the purchase of blue water the lawsuit says it was paid for by funds with FTX writing well you're gonna have to sell it and give it back if you haven't already started they also received 10 million in gifts 6 million

[00:45:52] was transferred to the couples joint bank accounts wow the parents knew or ignored bright red flags now here's the thing if I started by my parents crazy houses I'm not sure they'd question that if it's for them if they thought I was stealing

[00:46:08] yeah they'd be like this is wonderful you're telling so many jokes um but I also anything I got them is within the realm of normal like oh okay yeah here's a bass boat it's you know $16,000 you can do payments of $250 not a problem mm-hmm

[00:46:32] the parents are in on it and I'm gonna tell you there's gonna be big trouble they're gonna either have to sell the kid down the river or the kids gonna have to sell them down the river true and then it's gonna be not a good Thanksgiving hahahah

[00:46:46] holy shit they found it holy shit they found it we're moving on world's oldest time capsule dating back to 1926 it's found in a Polish church containing 300 year old coins, Latin documents and a lead bullet ohhh it was uh it was discovered during renovation

[00:47:07] work at the church of St. St. Stanisław and the small town of Wysoła in western Poland yeah it's yet to be confirmed but if it's actually from 1726 it would make it finder than the old current record holder of the U.S. city of Boston

[00:47:25] the town's museum called it a unique find the oldest time capsule found in the world it's a box made of copper sheet and the date is stamped on the lid 1726 I don't know why anyone would lie about that right whoever's gonna find it's not gonna

[00:47:41] know if they lied or not anyway um it has four packages from 1726 1786, 1884, 1914 um that were extracted from the spirit at the top of the church at the top of the tower of the parish church the oldest one was found in Boston at the Massachusetts State House

[00:48:01] hidden behind a painting of George Washington crossing the Delaware River inside one of the newly they found parchment written in Latin which translated chronicle to devastating fire this is the one in Poland they found a lead bullet that had been shot into the casket

[00:48:21] and damaged some of the documents they found coins from the 18th and 19th century wrapped in newspapers kinda cool, I don't know what those are worth probably probably a lot yeah, kinda cool I got a couple, one more holy shit they found it, yeah termite sent this

[00:48:39] I didn't see this um our norwegian man barely unwrapped his new metal detector when he discovered what experts describe as the quote gold find of the century this is what my mom pictured happening to her on Siesta Key Beach in Florida and it did not my mom found

[00:49:01] Bud Light tops um a shitty old watch that was, yeah like not even it it's not even a rip off of a good watch it was just a shitty watch she didn't keep it up she was hoping for one epic day and it never came

[00:49:17] this guy's name is Erlen Boer, he's 51 he told the news the NBC News by telephone that he took up the hobby after his doctor advised him to get some exercise but he stumbled across the unique treasure trove which is more than 1500 years old

[00:49:33] when he was using his new gadget on a picturesque island to the north of the Norwegian city of Stavanger he lives in solo a small town resort town near Stavanger and said that the hours of detective only yielded trash like aluminum foil and a very small femor

[00:49:53] I don't know what or some sort of or it's a modern coin that is no longer in use cool that's all he found but then on the verge of going home he tried to nearby hill and it took seconds for him to get a hit

[00:50:05] first he thought he'd found toy gold coins or chocolate money chocolate money sir that would have melted by now chocolate money not Willy Wonka but expert at the university later determined he'd come across 9 gold pendants, 3 gold rings and 10 gold pearls that someone might have worn a showy jewelry

[00:50:35] centuries ago all lying barely 5 inches below the ground wow yeah holy shit the necklace looks like brand new not seen since before the Viking age the pendants were braced terites thin flat gold single sided gold disc that once formed an amulet that's very cool

[00:51:01] now he's never going to quit now he's an addict he's never stopping everybody's going to be going is anybody seeing Erland? no Erland is never coming back again with his metal detector this is crazy

[00:51:19] now how many of you termites have seen the thing about Bob Ross on Netflix I haven't because I heard it's sad oh I haven't seen it it could be on Amazon no it's a movie about his life

[00:51:29] I think people tried to take money from him at the end I don't know I do want to watch it sometimes you're just not in the mood for something sad like that I'd rather go to straight crime where people are being murdered somehow that's less sad to me

[00:51:39] if Keith Morrison tells me about it then it's just a mystery well Bob Ross I did love that show and I paint and I loved to watch him paint and it was sad that it ended but a signed piece by famed 20th century

[00:51:57] artist Bob Ross for the first episode of his popular TV show The Joy of Painting he's not a children who might be listening go on YouTube and put in the Joy of Painting especially if you've ever wanted to paint a picture he can make anybody paint a picture

[00:52:11] just follow what he says it's amazing the oil canvas painted this was the first one he ever featured on the show it was called a walk in the woods it was created in 1983 also when his show started it's like when cable started to rev up

[00:52:25] like it was all brand new to us so every channel it didn't matter what the hell they put on we were like what's that oh that's so different but his was mesmerite it was addictive I couldn't stop watching it it was on public television public television career

[00:52:47] and it sold for $9.8 million the first one happy accidents that's what he used to say when he would paint he'd go hey everybody it was always like super stoned I don't know if he was or he wasn't but he'd be like you know what you're painting

[00:53:07] there's no mistakes there's only happy accidents and then he'd keep painting but he'd say super weird shit like that throughout the show you're like yeah dude only happy accidents it's on Netflix what's the name of it again happy accidents, betrayal, and greed yeah see then I'm like

[00:53:27] I didn't want the guy that I like he died at age 52 from cancer sad times, he died in 1995 so I guess I have to go watch the greed thing to find out who's got his money but somebody just made $9.8 million he painted about 30,000 paintings in his lifetime

[00:53:45] he died at lymphoma well he's a busy man somebody got $9. million here's a little business news I like to call this segment in your business and then I forget to do that but I'm doing it because I remember it

[00:54:03] in your business how many of you people out there love Joanne fabrics that's the way it would be said in the Midwest Joanne fabrics yeah I think I've been in there twice and it was by mistake with my mom

[00:54:17] because she decided something was in there that wasn't in there right I'd always always like craft stuff and that gives me instant anxiety yeah I can't do any of that and yarn and things that involve math, sewing

[00:54:33] but I'm gonna go with there's one not far from my house do you know what Joanne fabrics does have ladies well guys too pay attention which that was my card I gotta find to it made me laugh so hard these guys wrote that they were gay millennial termites

[00:54:49] and their germites I can't I'll find it so cute adorable anybody guess what Joanne fabrics has super cool buttons buttons so let's say you see a jacket online or something but I'm not a gold I don't wear gold so if it has gold buttons I'm like nah

[00:55:17] if I switch them out to silver I'm like I'm gonna wear these fancy buttons like for a jean jacket or whatever that's the only thing I've ever known somebody to tell me and then I went and got the buttons I don't think you can exist

[00:55:33] on just selling buttons so but I'm gonna go I'm gonna do a video I'm gonna report for the termites what's going on in there I may have to have a shot of my moonshine or a beer to go because I get anxiety about the crafts

[00:55:51] I don't this whole build it yourself shit I'm like no no no this is for sale somewhere else what the fuck would I do that build a box no it's a box it should come as a box I don't it's not for me

[00:56:07] do you want a wood burning kit no no I'll just burn myself no well Joanne fabrics they're in trouble the company is issued a warning and laid off staff but that may not stop it from running out of cash even though it insist it won't

[00:56:23] this isn't helping either no for many people these just weren't another store these retailers that stocked the items they were most passionate about losing these change was devastating for hundreds of thousands maybe millions of people because these retailers were places to browse hang out and even dream

[00:56:41] and dream even when you were shopping dreamt about anything in any store that I've liked well now another big box store that serves a passionate audience is running into some major financial concerns the chain has not used the word bankruptcy but it is most recent quarterly SEC

[00:56:57] SEC filing it's running low on cash they've made significant layoffs that's the last thing that place needs because when I did go over there from my button run I couldn't find anybody to help there's a lady in the back that cuts fabric

[00:57:13] but if there's more than two people there leave because her I yeah I was on a mission yeah they're trying to make they're racing to make cuts and pricing concessions from its vendors because the chain understands the government is operating it Christmas tree shops and bed baths

[00:57:33] and beyonds both had loyal customers but went bankrupt because they could not find any cash they think they'll survive one billion in debt you ain't gonna make that back on yarns and buttons no buttons and yarns yarns and buttons yarn and buttons and they've saw its interest

[00:57:53] expense double over the past six months from 27 million to 52 million okay this can't this can't go on and I'm thinking not that I care I do know how to crochet amazed by that I know you wouldn't think I would in fifth grade we had 67 snow days

[00:58:13] yeah we really did when I was in fifth grade 67 snow days because Catholic schools don't have buses and then our parents would just say you're not going so therefore it was a snow day if they didn't feel like driving us but my grandma knew how to crochet

[00:58:27] so I had 57 days off in Missouri in 80 feet of snow and I knew how to crochet and guess who has yarn not that I should be bragging like I don't want to pump up Walmart but they have yarn I'm just saying Joanne Fabrics the stuff they sell

[00:58:47] Walmart also has a lot of that you're not the only you're not the only yarn whore in town we got other people here's another one now I don't necessarily disagree with this one right aid I gotta say I love a drugstore on the road so many comedians

[00:59:09] when we had no money and we were bored well let's go to Walgreens it was like an outing but you'd always find crazy shit something to do for an hour make up the make up is always fun but I always found ride aids no personal offense ride aids

[00:59:29] but to be the kind of skankiest they weren't fun they had what you needed so fine good enough but I always thought they were just like one step below Walgreens or CVS two steps maybe I was real sad because the ride aid up by me

[00:59:53] there were like 20 cats in the back kittens yeah but some lady at the ride aid fed them every day so they got fed okay well I can't be responsible for these animals either but that kind of shit where there's just homeless kittens out front hey did you know

[01:00:11] well they're closing hundreds of stores as part of a bankruptcy plan CVS is closing a bunch of stores but it's not a bankruptcy thing they're gonna go online because more business online because of theft the theft things got in out of hand

[01:00:27] at these drugstores but I noticed that every time I go another thing is locked up and my neighborhood's not bad razors are locked up go to New York City you can't have anything anymore like you have to go get somebody and then that becomes

[01:00:39] not cost effective when you've got how many employees do we need now Jody needs a razor Michael needs this Paul needs that like you can't do that it's just easier to go online and go how many razors will I need they're negotiating their negotiating creditors over a bankruptcy

[01:00:59] plan that would include liquidation of several hundred stores citing people are familiar with the talks while street Journal said the companies proposed to close roughly four to five hundred stores the one by me did close the one with the cats yep it's just signs gone

[01:01:13] it's an empty building right now no I always felt like right yeah and the hair color they had was odd and then I judged the clientele I'm like well it's a lot a lot of people are like I'm gonna get a great blue for you

[01:01:31] the leader seller let creditors take over what's left of the 2100 drugstore spread over 17 states no final decisions have been made and plans could change in the Philadelphia oh my god in all the Philadelphia base right at oh it's out of filling faces more than 3.3 billion in debt

[01:01:51] that's more than join and more than a thousand federal lawsuits over its alleged role in the opioid ademic charge so I'm just saying if there's a ride by your house and you feel it's on the brink switch your prescriptions before it becomes ridiculously hard yes

[01:02:09] my insurance company made me switch from CVS to Walgreens I gotta say I like Walgreens better really yeah I'm not here to promote any certain drugs or clearly I'm not getting paid by a big foot miss richfield or bucky I just like they text and they say

[01:02:28] I like that you get Walgreens box instead of I like the Walgreens box instead of these coupons that fly out of CVS and the things like 18 miles long you want me to read it right there right now because I've only got 11 and a half minutes to use

[01:02:42] these coupons so by the time I get to my car these won't be I mean obviously it's like a three-day window or some shit but I'm like that that ticket that just get money and the Walgreens lady she's like 100 that works there always like

[01:02:54] oh sweetheart you got like 7 million 850 dollars here do you want me in it yes get a nail polish I want all the blue nail polish for the St. Louis blues because hockey is coming up and then I'll get a yellow for the Predators and then

[01:03:10] red for the New Jersey double house alright this is what I said I was going to talk about last week and this is a tiny bit hard but we'll get through it moonshine because I have a place in the Ozarks in Missouri

[01:03:34] a condo and I have a house outside of Nashville both our tourist areas so the Airbnb thing comes up a lot now if you're not in a tourist area let's just say you live in a regular city Omaha Cleveland whatever I don't know how it's affecting

[01:03:52] regular cities but tourist spots is becoming an issue because like my brother's sister have condos in the same complex that we bought years and years ago you know your neighbors you can let the kids go to the pool on their

[01:04:08] own I don't feel like but now with the Airbnb every week it's new people I think I talked about the drunk girls from Omaha the last time I've never seen anything like it and props up Omaha you're raising some farm girls that can drink like maniacs and fall

[01:04:24] fall down a crazy amount of stairs and just boom get right back up and then I watched them leaving to see if any of them hurt the next day nope but I mean the partying that goes on the bullshit that goes on and then

[01:04:38] even if you were just doing that I'd say alright I get it because I also rent Airbnb I got one in Gatlinburg it was great yeah all over the place but normally I'm in a hotel but for vacation and stuff I would go do it

[01:04:54] but on the other hand is it getting out of hand where people are buying houses specifically to Airbnb them which I think is different than I'm finding this to be true at Lake of the Ozarks which bothers me a lot people are investing in

[01:05:14] condos and homes and driving the prices way up because they want to rent them out as Airbnb they have no intention of ever living there yes apparently they still have the right to do that but then normal people so you could do that

[01:05:28] COVID brought a lot of that on I saw it in Hilton Head I went to Hilton Head for fun because I'd never been there I wanted to see it it was crazy town crazy town and people from all over the country are buying condos in these vacation places

[01:05:40] just to Airbnb when they got a pay form so I don't know if that was the original intention but New York's getting the hammers coming down this article it's from Wired.com this is a true scale of the New York Airbnb's apocalypse

[01:06:01] a law meant to crack down on short-term rentals in New York City took effect Tuesday thousands have dropped off the map but there are still host offering bookings and a new law yeah the number of short-term Airbnb's in the city has dropped 70%

[01:06:15] after the city began enforcing a new law requiring short-term rental operators to register their homes short term meaning less than 30 days but the asshole who wanted by the house by my house I said yeah well they're not even you can't even he's like oh well we don't even

[01:06:31] we just go around that we just say everything is a long-term rental and then they canceled what are the government thinks they're doing these little squirrels are 15 nuts ahead of them the drop recorded between August and September the day that New York City began enforcing

[01:06:47] law represents the disappearance of some 15,000 short-term listings from Airbnb the figures are based blah blah it doesn't matter in August there were 22,000 short-term listings on Airbnb as of September 5th there was 6,800 it would have never occurred to me to Airbnb something in New York City

[01:07:07] because I think it would be so complicated to like get in the building and out of the building and it could be gross but I'm also old and I just think of a hotel unless it's in a super vacation area like on a beach

[01:07:23] then I think of it on a lake but in a city I think no no I don't ever trust them not to have cameras and then I sound like my parents my dad's like I don't want that Alexa

[01:07:33] on what was so they can hear if you're going to bingo one Friday nobody gives a shit dad but I also think what do I care if there's a camera and I'm just walking around here I mean I don't whatever there shouldn't be though obviously 400 4,000 rentals have disappeared

[01:07:49] from Airbnb since the law took effect so long-term rentals are they're being granted in but that's for more than 30 days or more well who would rent that right that's also called what the comics would call I sub-leased it we already have that

[01:08:07] unless you're a new person but then we sub-leased it from another comic there's a million comedians doing that maybe I shouldn't say that maybe we're not supposed to be doing that never applied to me because I never lived in New York City all those New York comics

[01:08:23] be like hey man you need to play the hey it was like a drug deal I'm like no I'm good I don't live here thank you I just come in to do my jokes and leave yeah I'll be staying at the Marriott Courtyard

[01:08:33] right outside of Times Square have you heard of it no it's lovely um so I don't know do we crack down do you make it long-term I don't think that will matter uh no I don't either how is the government no you gotta get a permit

[01:08:53] and then does Airbnb give a shit? I don't think so people are LLCs and they pick cash it's all messed up from the start that's how I would end the meeting it's all messed up move it on move it on Florida you're getting some bullet trains

[01:09:12] I said that in the video this is but I have a question about this termites especially Florida termites we're not going to talk about the alligator that was walking down the street with a human body in its mouth we're going to let that one go kind of sad

[01:09:26] Amtrak is about to lose its monopoly in some parts of the country and you know what I'm sorry but it should it goes way too slow uh it goes way too slowly they go off the tracks all the time it's completely outdated

[01:09:44] either the government needs to fix it up the assailant is good some of the east coast trains are good and I really like them way better than flying I love a train I know I'm like a crazy person on the trains but that's when

[01:09:58] I'm like saying they'll all work on the east coast but should I go to St. Louis no just get in the car get you're not it's ridiculous bright line the nation's only privately trained owned company will introduce high speed service from Miami to Orlando in the coming

[01:10:14] weeks that will cut the commute nearly in half to three hours and 30 minutes now that's cool but here's my question the question this is the constant question with all of America one time somebody told me take the train from downtown LA to San Diego so I did

[01:10:32] but then I get out in San Diego how am I fucking supposed to get anywhere Uber? but then I Uber Uber Uber I could have just rented a car but the rental car is not at the train station the rental car is at the airport oh

[01:10:48] no one's doing it so let's say I take the high speed from Miami to Orlando especially Orlando being where I stop well I need a car there's no even Miami Miami you could Uber and go to a fun hotel on the beach that's doable

[01:11:08] from your high speed train they never think of the next part I mean it's a start it'll cost $6 billion to link to two cities it'll reach speeds of more than 125 miles an hour the fastest train outside of a cell of service northeast quarter stretching from DC and Boston

[01:11:28] they'll have 16 trips between downtown Miami and Orlando international airport oh so you get dropped off at the airport oh have you ever tried to rent a car in Orlando? just shoot me in the fucking face I've done it a million times and I hate it every time

[01:11:50] it's awful and it's not really their fault there's too many people there's too many buses it's too far away the workers are doing what they're supposed to do all the cruise ship people are enjoying pods and going crazy because they can't find their lady with the sign

[01:12:10] how are you one brown Caribbean oh my god and then you have all the Disney people and they have their own buses and they're sad and they're tired of being in the in the bug ticket started $7,800 and go up to $149 for first class seats now would I pay

[01:12:28] $150 you get from Miami to Orlando? yes I think it would be great I think if I went from Orlando to Miami I understand what I could do when I got to Miami without a car Orlando no I do not she's right over

[01:12:42] they think everybody wants to go to Disneyland the trip now currently takes 6 hours and 19 minutes they're going to cut it in half this is all great I'm just saying we're not thinking right now it's a start but I've fallen for this shit I've already I've already been

[01:13:03] fraudstered in trickery so I don't know you tell me Florida termites what are we going to do? floor mites floor mites this is kind of crazy we got two more I forgot the lyrics part this week just give me until next week there's a lot of tete

[01:13:25] so many gifts that came I got everything it's my birthday it's my birthday well most not till I don't know when is it it's Saturday my birthday is on Saturday it's on Saturday um go for you well most of our dollar bills today

[01:13:49] feature a portrait of a president this bill has a portrait of president Lincoln secretary of the treasury salmon P. Chase the auction house noted that this particular item was certified by paper money guarantee and was on exceptional paper quality grade the bill it's a $10,000 bill wow

[01:14:09] made during the depression screwing everybody's gut the Boston bill for a record breaking figure but it was not a huge surprise somebody paid $480 million for this bill it's real it's real yeah large denomination notes have already drawn interest of collectors of high levels

[01:14:29] said Dustin so and so vice president of currency at heritage um heritage auctions the $10,000 trail and only the $100,000 trail certificate used in 1934 and the $10,000 the $10,000 bill was the highest denomination currency to ever publicly circulate in the U.S. since 1969 the highest denomination

[01:14:55] currency in the U.S. has been a $100 bill I didn't know that I always wondered like in Vegas when I'd see people whip out hundreds like at the craft's table to get chips I wondered isn't there a $500 bill like it wouldn't have entered

[01:15:11] my world as a young comic but I would watch the old comics and like super old ones and they were just had money and I was like that's a lot of $100 bills if you just had two $500 bills right right but I guess since 1969 they haven't existed

[01:15:29] you still want to break them down? yeah the museum also noted there was once a hundred thousand dollar bill with a portrait of Woodrow Wilson but it was used solely for transferring funds between Federal Reserve banks not for everyday retail transactions well who I

[01:15:45] don't know though if somebody gave you a hundred thousand dollar bill you'd probably I mean a ten thousand ten thousand dollar bill you'd I'd feel unsafe because somebody knows that you gave it to me and then I just tell two guys to go follow you and kill you

[01:16:01] oh we're at murder fuck yeah we're at murder yeah well yeah I sell it to you no well even now it's worth a half million lost the paper clip there alright this is the last story and it's a feel good story I like a feel good story

[01:16:19] it's wonderful is it about Tay-Tay? no it's about Jimmy Carter oh wait I like it too I like Jimmy a little bit more than Tay-Tay well she hasn't she hasn't had the time she's doing a lot politics aside forget about his presidency

[01:16:37] it was a little weird I agree we've already talked about other podcasts but first of all Jimmy Carter is also a Libra so I meet his day is a birthday after his day after mine so him and Roslyn if you've been following they're doing hospice in their

[01:16:55] own home she has dementia he has old age I don't know what they don't say exactly what's wrong with him he's old he's dying he's shutting down like a computer muah but I keep seeing his son gave an update like urrr I'd say two months ago saying

[01:17:17] it won't be long yeah I know it was very sad but I mean also they've had a wonderful life he still teaches Sunday school well he did up until six months ago same church every Sunday Jimmy Carter is your Sunday school teacher if you're in second grade

[01:17:33] and he's an ex president yep in addition to the houses he's building and he still made a thing out last year to what they call it on habitat for you habitat for you man yeah well this weekend former president Jimmy Carter celebrated his 99th birthday early

[01:17:56] by make his first public appearance since he entered hospice care seven months ago him and her busted out of hospice to go to a peanut parade they rode in a convertible and waved at everybody who cares if they know where they're at

[01:18:12] they know they're outside you can feel it on your face the longest living president in US history born October 1st and entered hospice care in February announcing he decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care as he ceased medical intervention

[01:18:28] three months later it was revealed that Roslyn 96 had to mention one money feared for the former peanut farmer and philanthropist as he entered the last chapter of his life his last his sighting at the festival last Saturday was warmly received he's laughing in the back of a convertible

[01:18:44] I like busting out of hospice footage of Carter being driven through the festival is posted on twitter which quickly garnered warm responses for the aging president and he decided to go to a hospital after he had weird hospital stays he's been married to her 76 years

[01:19:04] it's the longest between any president and first lady last month Carter's grandson told people he's in peace in hospice care saying that the once entertainers now live a quiet and calm life he said there's always somebody at the house to keep his grandparents company

[01:19:22] more often than not one of their kids because as active as they are they're still fully understand the well wishes they've received he said my grandma's still able to form new memories so I guess her dementia is like from old timey stuff that's awesome

[01:19:38] he said we did think when he went into hospice he was very close to the end now I'm just going to tell you he's going to be 99 in October he's just got to make it to Sunday and it'll be 99 and then one more year yeah he likes

[01:19:56] peanut butter ice cream it's his favorite flavor anything peanuts so there you go he was a navy veteran a Nobel Peace Prize winner good for him they have four kids great grandkids grandchildren and great-grandchildren that's so great oh he had a bad melanoma yeah

[01:20:22] I had one on my head they got it you don't know what can happen it was detected in his liver and spread to his brain and he's still like here that was in 2015 oh my god that's crazy he was hospitalized two years later for dehydration

[01:20:42] while building homes with Habitat for Humanity in Canada paddles he went to Canada to help he got a lot of personal news yeah so that should feel good story just know if you do enter hospice you can still bust out and go to a parade
