Episode 153: Queen Stevie’s Barbie, The Vegas Sphere Opens, & Taylor Gets the Green Light

[00:00:00] Hey everybody, it's me Kathleen Madigan. Welcome to Madigan's Pubcast. You grab yourself a drink, pull up a bar stool, let's talk about what's been going on. Hi, mates! Baya! Episode 153! Look at us go!

[00:00:29] Well, post birthday, post birthday, um, podcast. So much fun. So many things to talk about. Like, everything. All of the queens have exploded. All of the queens have exploded.

[00:00:42] Except Tanya. Tanya might have to go on the bench for a while to find out. Not no offense, but she doesn't do a whole, whole lot other than just her shows. Which is fine and normal. That's what the 60s someone should be doing. Shows and be normal.

[00:00:55] Yes, that's what I strive for. Normal. Normal. Go do shows, go home. Have fun. Um, this lady Dana, uh, made me this giant bigfoot for my birthday. Wow! Oh my god!

[00:01:08] It's super fantastical. Look it's got a moon and stars in his head but his, the, the, I think the moon is supposed to be his smile and then it's got north, south, east, west. This lady's coming to the Kansas City show. Nice!

[00:01:22] So it's my dad's physical therapist, Matthew. Okay. But these are just some birthday items. This is baby cat on a mug with her mouth open and it says fire!

[00:01:31] This was made by Katie. Uh, yeah this glass is baby cat in mid-yawn. Fire! She's drinking a little spot of cow. She lives in the east Tennessee. Thank you, Katie. Thank you, Katie.

[00:01:44] This is perfect timing because I've been looking for a tiny notebook in this house to write down my house chores because I keep forgetting. Um, this is Bigfoot on Locknaz Monster. Perfect. Riding around.

[00:01:57] Yes, and the card is the same. And now I have a tiny notebook. Um, this is from Jen and Steve. Yes, they, I don't know where they're from. It was all the outside and they got through it. The outside part away. Oh, talking stick.

[00:02:12] This is Santa Fe. You know, somebody else said, I don't know why I don't work in Santa Fe. I have no idea. Yeah. I don't think I ever have except corporate gigs. Do you, is there a theater there you like? Yeah, there should be a theater there, right?

[00:02:26] Okay. Or I don't know. I don't know. That's a good question. I don't know why I don't go there because I'd be interested. Sorry. Well, I would fly to Santa Fe for sure for a show. Speaking of which, I added a bunch of shows.

[00:02:41] Um, this guy, this made me laugh because he sent me $5. But you know what? You never get too old or make enough money that you don't care about five free dollars. That's a beer at Sam's. That's what he said it's four too.

[00:02:56] And then he sent me some seasonings and Chipotle bacon seasoning and some horseradish. What's his name? Aiden. A-I-D-A-N. Yeah. And it's said from Belfast. I thought, do people send something from Ireland? No, it's, um, it's Belfast Maine. Maine's Emmy, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it counts. Well, it counts.

[00:03:20] This came and then I'll move on you guys. There's a tie. I got every card. I got tons of cards. It was so fun to open them all. I opened a bunch on the play going up to New York. Um, this is a Dame Edna coffee mug.

[00:03:30] Oh, nice! Yes. Poor Dame Edna. Hello, possums. Um, is no longer with us. Um, I did a door Dame Edna and I do love currently Miss Richfield still alive and fine performing.

[00:03:44] I just saw, I think, if you go to her website, no it, yeah, it was New York. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, it's from Mike. Thank you, Mike. That's awesome. Yeah, the cards were nice. Um, these pretzels which I'm going to be trying,

[00:03:58] these are called Pop Daddy Pretzels. I've seen these in the store. I've never bought them. My friend Bronson and Gibby, they, um, sent a giant thing. There's like 10 of these. Nice. But this is the flavor I wanted to try first. It's garlic parmesan pretzels. Nice. Very good.

[00:04:18] Yeah. Five stars? Five stars. Yeah! And I can put them in smaller bags and take them on the plane because when I have to, um, sometimes Delta doesn't go everywhere. I want to go, sadly. And I have to go on Southwest sometimes. Oh!

[00:04:33] Um, but their snacks are terrible. Southwest, you give me where I want to go. You don't lose bags. I'll give you that. But that stale bullshit snack mix that they throw around the plane, nobody wants it.

[00:04:48] But people eat it because they're bored or they're starving or it's like everything in their snack mix is just off enough. Like the shit my mom would just use it. And she's like, I'm not paying for a honey night Cheerios and she'd get like OEOs.

[00:05:03] You're like, Mom, these are not Cheerios. Everybody knows that. Um, but this is where I'm going to take instead of the Southwest snack mix, which is just appalling. No, it's terrible. Yeah. How much? It couldn't cost that much to fix it. Call Roll Gold and ask for pretzels.

[00:05:19] Right. Like everything in there, like there's Cheez-Its in there, but they're not real Cheez-Its. They're like Neez-Its. So fake thing. There's Neez-Its.

[00:05:29] Um, so, so much. And there's a lot more stuff, but I'll get to it one thing at a time because then I got swamped and, um, with stuff. How was your weekend? The weekend was great.

[00:05:39] I had to go to New York for some work stuff, which was fine and dandy, no problem there. And then, oh, I have stuff under here too. I didn't even get to that.

[00:05:46] Um, and then my little friend Dorf came in and we got to go to Queen Stevie on Sunday night. It matters to the square garden. It was, it's amazing. She's 75 years old. Um, every song, the set list was perfect. She sings, I sing for the thing money.

[00:06:06] Can't buy that song. And I'm really, it's fine, but everybody kind of sits down. Maybe it's a Run Get Your Beer song and she knows that. I don't know. Maybe she's given us a chance so we don't miss Landslide or Re-In and or something great.

[00:06:18] Um, it was packed, sold out on a Sunday. Yeah. And then she has a show every three days. So she gets two days off, but one day is not really off because it's a travel day. So one day off and then she'll be in Buffalo. Cool. Yeah.

[00:06:34] I mean, if you want to see, uh, I don't remember. Yeah. And then there was a kind of a snap of mega proportions. I've never seen Stevie B on stage like silly, goofy fun. Yeah, but not, you know, she's usually like, hello, welcome.

[00:06:54] And it's always kind of serious or whatever. Well, she's like, I'm so excited tonight because you're not going to believe this, but I brought a friend with me now we're in New York. So I'm thinking, oh, it could be Billy Joel.

[00:07:08] You know, like she's been with him lately or Harry Styles. She's in love with him. It seems like, um, uh, no, it was not a really good idea. No, it was not a real human. It was her own.

[00:07:18] It's my own Stevie Nicks Barbie doll and Mattel has made Stevie a doll. And I think, and she goes, I was kind of surprised because as a rock star, all the things that come along with that like addiction, like I'm like,

[00:07:33] I'm sure in the meeting they're like, um, she was selling a bunch of shows saying she had been coke problem. Are we cool making a Barbie who's got a coke problem? Well, not anymore. She doesn't have what she beat it. She went to Betty Ford.

[00:07:44] Go for you as Raki Laporte would say, go for you. But good for Mattel. Yeah, they, um, she's a pre-order thing and they're already sold out. Did you get one? No. Oh, no, I went online and then my friend Dory tried to get one.

[00:08:03] Um, I'm going to have to put Dorf on it because he secretly, he knows her manager. Well, he doesn't really know him. He's been in meetings with him, Irving A's office is his name. And he has the funniest nickname I've ever heard. Should I not say it? No.

[00:08:23] Why? I can't say it. They'll probably be banned from concerts or something. Probably. You can Google it. You guys can Google it if you want to. It's just like, it doesn't even matter. It's just funny. Um, I was like, you call him what? You could say it.

[00:08:38] No, he would probably be proud of it though. Probably. Maybe. I don't know. Men aren't proud of being extra short. And he's this short man. I guess I've never seen the man. I don't know. Um, so five stars for Stevie.

[00:08:53] I'm going to try to get the Barbie doll out of all the term I sent it to me along with all the birthday wishes on Twitter and all that stuff. Thanks for the animal pictures too by the way, because that's what I said I like

[00:09:02] to see on my Twitter feed when I wake up on my birthday. People's cats and people's dogs or whatever goats, whatever. Um, it was just a, it was just a, it was just a, it was just a Sunday night. She's unstoppable. Five years away from 80.

[00:09:15] What are we doing ladies? She's two years away from 80. I think shares have all kinds of problems with the sun. Um, and then I think, you know, these people, well, I'll tell you about shares thing. Um, and then Stevie did an interview with Vulture magazine and there will

[00:09:33] never be a fleet with Mack again because she said without Christine, but you did do fleet with Mack without Christine for 18 years. I thought that. But now you don't want Grandpa Lindsey coming out either because he's mean and he mocks you. I wouldn't want that either.

[00:09:50] So who does that leave then? You, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie who quit. He's in a pub somewhere drinking beer went, yeah, I'm out. Um, yeah, on a sailboat. They apparently likes to go on a sailboat. Um, so no more fleet with Matt. That's fine with me though.

[00:10:06] I don't, Stevie's still out there. I'm good. I don't need to hear go your own way. I'm good. I can see it to myself. Um, I'm also tasted this from New York. So my friend Vic Henley who passed away, comedian.

[00:10:21] Uh, he was, he was so funny and you should go online if you're bored, if you, if you like, uh, he does a joke about Paula Dean. It's a very long bit, but it is so worth it because he's Southern

[00:10:35] and it's when she got in trouble for the racial slurs and, uh, it's just, it's a, so if you just Google Vic, V I C Henley H N L E, well, put it in his notes and Paula Dean bit.

[00:10:47] But anyway, um, Vic used to take, uh, get this dinosaur barbecue sauce. So I picked up some on the way in honor of Vic. He would have loved to have gone to see me next. I felt so, but I talked to his brother and like, it's sad.

[00:10:58] Uh, died way too young for no reason. And it's tasting delicious. It's wonderful. It's kind of hot. Yeah. Little tang, little tang. Yeah. Well done, New York. Um, we miss Vic. Yeah. And then I wanted to, um, I watched that show, The Gilded Age.

[00:11:19] Did you have to watch that? It was on HBO. It's got Christina Bransky and all kinds of good people on it. And it's about the early 1900s when the super rich were building those giant, Mark Twain came up with a phrase Gilded Age, but I don't know.

[00:11:33] I don't think they called themselves that, but, um, I thought, I wonder if there's any left in New York. Cause I never have the whole day off in New York ever to act like a tourist. Well, I Googled it and there's not many.

[00:11:46] And then the rain came so it had foiled my whole plan. I couldn't even go when I was supposed to go cause the whole little Gordio is underwater. It's ridiculous. Like the shit that happens these days just did not happen 20 years ago.

[00:11:59] Hey, I'm going to go to the airport. Oh no, I'm sorry. All of terminal A is underwater. What? What? Yeah. Go look at the pictures from that. It was crazy. So anyway, I went, but if you go to the St.

[00:12:12] Regis Hotel, John Jacob Astor, who's one of the Gilded Age people, he died in the Titanic. He was going to build it as his home, personal home, but he built it as, um, it was the first like Gilded Age hotel for tourists. I went in there. Yep.

[00:12:28] Had a drink. It's gorgeous. There's all kinds of stuff. There's all kinds of, um, historical things in there. The bar is great. I don't know that I would, there's a famous painting in there too. It's the whole back of the bar.

[00:12:39] I don't know that I would stay there. I feel like the rooms, I'm more of a Marriott person. Let's just, can we get to the 1950s at least? Like, I don't know. It seems like it could be old people eat. I've never seen them rooms. Uh, they're nice.

[00:12:54] It's the King Cole Bar. The King Cole Bar? Well, I would say, I would say, I would recommend it. And I walked around everywhere. I walked over to Louis's house. Um, New York is not that crazy. The media would have you believe that

[00:13:09] there's like, you know, migrants sleeping in every doorway. There's homeless, crazy people everywhere. And Louis said that it's ticked up a little bit with the cray-cray. Even Louis knows and he's lived there his whole life. Well, since he was 21 years old, I thought it was fine.

[00:13:24] I didn't see anything extraordinarily weird. That's just my opinion though. And, um, yeah, it's a wonderful review. Everybody, stop raining. Everything was fine. All right, let's move on to some Queen news. Dolly released that song. I never loved it. It's fine with that lady.

[00:13:46] I can't think of Linda somebody. I said, Hey, hey, what's going on? Lynn Perry, that lady. Yeah, it's fine when I wake up in the morning. That is going to be on her album. That has been released. If you would like to go listen to Dolly sing

[00:14:03] that song, four non-blons, right? But Linda Perry is a lady's name, right? Like she's the person. Well, there you go. The lead singer. You can go listen to that. That's the main Dolly news share. Yeah, share. Listen to this shit. This is crazy.

[00:14:24] And this is bullshit that age seven seven shares got to deal with this shit. She hired four men to kidnap her son, Elijah blue Almond. She has a son who Greg Almond was his father. If you don't know the Almond brothers are go look

[00:14:38] it's Ron Way's favorite band ever. And that's his daddy, but his dad, he's passed away. Greg has. She hired kid. She hired kit for men to kidnap her troubled son from a New York City hotel where he was trying to reconcile with his wife.

[00:14:53] Documents revealed that she had to go to a bar in New York City. Documents revealed as new photos show strong out musician at the Chateau Marmont in days before taking to rehab. Hollywood. Share had her own son kidnapped from a hotel

[00:15:08] just as he was trying to reconcile with his wife on their wedding anniversary. That's when your mom's got some power. Just keep. Well, I mean, he's got to be 50. Like I take care of my parents. It shouldn't be the other way around.

[00:15:22] They shouldn't be get dragging my aunt. She's got to be 30s, but come on. How old are these people going to get when you're still behaving like a crazy person? It's ridiculous. She was worried about Elijah Blue's health according to the daughter-in-law Marie Angela King.

[00:15:39] She said in court papers, I mean, these are getting divorced. She's crazy. She has reason to be concerned judging by the pictures we have obtained showing him disheveled at a different hotel. LA's famed Chateau Marmont Hotel where he's been living for the last six months.

[00:15:55] How much does it cost to live? I have been in the Chateau Marmont maybe three times in my life for drinks. And I was, I love it because it's outside. The bar parts outside. You're in a jungle.

[00:16:08] I don't want to be there in the day, but at night, it's all lit up, but it's a douchebag crowd and a drink is going to be $27. So you're going to find me at Barney's most of the time. Barney's beenery.

[00:16:20] If I'm in LA, that's the bar I will be in where they have pictures of beer and breakfast burritos and the best wings ever. And my French onsy is the bartender. That's why I would prefer to hang out, but it's nice to go fancy every now and then

[00:16:32] and I would like to see if I saw somebody famous or something. Can you charge out to my trust fund? Six months. Are you a Gilded Age person when you just move into a hotel? The song Believe is paying for that. If I sent my parents a bill

[00:16:48] for even one night in a hotel, they'd be like, what the hell is this, Kathleen? Is this a mistake? No, Dad. Can you just pay that? No. If we pay for you, then there's six other people that are going to be put on the whole speech.

[00:17:00] No, no, no. He's been living there. I don't... At first, they found him out. He was passed out in front of the thing, like all on the street. At first, he looked like he was dead, but he in fact passed out a witness said.

[00:17:13] The staff picked him up and took him inside. He's 47 years old. He's the younger of Cherisuit children. He's the son of her second hand lady, Greg Alman, we know. He married this Marie Angela... Oh, she's 36, who goes by the name Queenie in the rock band King.

[00:17:29] In 2013, they have no children. He admitted he started taking drugs when he was 11. Wow! Wow! Who is your nanny? Oh yeah, nanny fired. Were you attending school like this? Who's the 11-year-old on heroin? Yeah. This lady that he's married to is born in Mumbai, India

[00:17:57] to a British grandfather and German mother. She's one of six. They spent time... He did admit he has a long heroin addiction. That's sad. It's very sad. Yeah. Those are fixable. Takes a lot of work, but people have done it. Um... Yeah, so I guess Cheris had it.

[00:18:18] Wow! Cher did not respond. I'm sure she didn't. Yep. He's now back at rehab after a tumultuous six months at the Chateau Marmont. Worried hotel staff regularly reached out to Cher due to his apparent drugged-out appearance. Virtually every morning and afternoon,

[00:18:35] he could be seen in front of the hotel on the sidewalk either leaning against the wall or sitting on the sidewalk smoking. He would come out with a full cigarette and he would be passed out. It always looked like it was dipped in something.

[00:18:48] He looked strung up and messy. Like he was a homeless person living on the streets. That's terrible. And at 77, she does not need to be worried. You know, somebody should be taking care of you. Yeah, that's sad. Checking in on you. But no.

[00:19:06] Elijah is running up a bill at the Chateau Marmont. She's dating that man again. Oh, she has a new album coming out. So they say I tried to do the research, but it came in very late, late breaking news. But she is with that guy.

[00:19:21] And a lot of people are saying he's not good for her. I don't know what's going on there. I don't have any insight in highways. I got no insight tracks. Munch. Munch. That was all my Queen news. Update! What? Oh, Tay-Tay. Sorry, I forgot. Tay-Tay, Kelsey.

[00:19:45] It's a lot of Queen news. Sorry if you hate this section. I apologize in advance because it was long. Tay-Tay's mama, no, Kelsey's mama, Donna. Kelsey's mama, Donna. Why isn't that her song? Has endorsed Tay-Tay. Wonderful. But let's say you didn't like her.

[00:20:04] It'd probably be best not to say that. Unless you want 20 million, 20 and 30 somethings and 40 somethings in your front yard saying you're an asshole. I would just say even if she was some, I'd go wonderful gal. Wonderful lady. Wonderful lady. Wonderful gal. Does Donna live in Wisconsin still? No.

[00:20:29] The mom? No. Where do they live? I don't know where she lives. Where does Donna Kelsey live? That's one of the most Google things. They're tracking her. Oh, they're tracking her. Oh no, the children are coming. The children are coming. Oh God.

[00:20:51] She has no idea what she's gotten herself into. Aren't they from Wisconsin? Orlando. Orlando. Yeah, she likes it there. Oh, God. Are they from Wisconsin originally? No, they're from Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Ohio? Okay. They went to the University of Cleveland? Cincinnati. Cincinnati. The boys did.

[00:21:15] Yeah, they're from Cleveland Heights. They're born and raised there. Okay. Well, Tay-Tay's from Pennsylvania. They should get along just fine. They're neighboring states. Exactly. Right. His brother plays for the Eagles. I know the guy plays for the Eagles. The other Kelsey.

[00:21:27] And then there's a man if you don't follow football on the Eagles, a running back, and his last name is Swift. So Kelsey was standing there after Swift and but Joe Stadyam said one time. Is this enough to make your head blow off?

[00:21:41] If you don't follow football, don't worry. Dwell on it. But they pan to her more than they do the announcers or the replays and I love every minute. You know who's jealous? Little crybaby, Weiney. Weiney little bitch, Aaron Rodgers. Yes. He's so whatever. Kelsey Travis.

[00:22:05] He did a commercial to go get your booster shot. For COVID. For COVID and Aaron's not playing because he's old and snapped his ACL and he thinks he's coming back. And so he's already going on podcast calling. He's so jealous of Travis. It's attention.

[00:22:21] That's all he wants is attention. I truly believe that. He's saying that he's calling him Mr. Pfizer because he did the commercial. Yeah, you're the one that set autonomy, Aaron. You're the one that said we should all be able to do what we want.

[00:22:36] Nobody should bitch about the other thing. Okay, you don't get vaccinated. No. Fine. Nobody's bitching at you. You take your Iver Mectin. You take your Iver Mectin and you listen to what Joe Rogan says. You do you.

[00:22:48] But if he chooses to do an ad because he wants to get the booster, but he wasn't saying it's never with Aaron like in a buddy, buddy, funny mum tease in my friend way. No. No, he's like, yeah, Mr. Pfizer didn't get too many yards because he was

[00:23:02] basically played like shit. Yeah. Which he did not. He played fine. He could have played better, but he's a little distracted. Hello. So I don't know though, Tay Tay's got to go on a world tour. Well, they're both very successful. They both have their own money.

[00:23:23] So you have to worry about does this person want my money? But Ohio, Pennsylvania, that's where she was born and then moved down to Tennessee till she was like 16. That's fine. I just think when she goes on a world tour, he's young enough

[00:23:36] and rich enough he can pop up in some of those cities, but take it from a lady who's been on the road. He didn't need somebody dragging it down somewhere else. You got to be free. Yeah. The only one who mastered that is Dolly.

[00:23:51] She told Carl you stay here all his ass at home and keep that asphalt company. You keep it nine to five. I don't want to hear from you. Carl is his asphalt company. It's hilarious. Up day. Update update. The real life Jetsons, you know, I've wanted flying cars

[00:24:14] since his podcast has began and I don't understand why we do not have them. I just don't. I also don't understand why we don't have a bullet train up and down the Las Vegas Strip, but that's a whole other matter. It floods.

[00:24:26] No, the bullet train goes, it's up here. It's up here. No. Experts say we're on the cusp of a flying taxi boom, taxi boom with futuristic vehicles set to make the skies at the Paris Olympics next year. Now, you can't get too over excited though. Okay.

[00:24:45] Well, because there have been times, Super Bowls in the Olympics and things like that where someone has come in on a jet pack and I got all excited thinking where those were going to be issued to the mainstream general public like myself. No, no, never happened.

[00:25:02] The days of the flying taxis are being consigned to fiction will be over in just a few years. The Paris Olympics are coming up. I don't know what 2024 under a year from now, the first commercial air taxi will ferry visitors trips around

[00:25:19] Paris at the 2024 summer Olympics, finally heralding the arrival of the technology. That's awesome. Yeah, it's a new revolution coming. I've waited since I was a child. You can't show me the Jetsons when I'm five and tell me that's going to happen.

[00:25:34] Well, act like you acted like it was going to happen. Nobody said, hey, this is all bullshit. This is never going to happen. I believed it. Right. I'm like, and what was his dog name? Me. I can't remember the dogs. I love the dogs. The Jetsons.

[00:25:47] His dog, Elroy. Yeah. Oh, that was his son. Well, I'd rather it been two dogs. Astro. Astro. That's right. This guy said if we go outside at the moment and look up into the air, it's mostly empty. And now we will have technologies to make much more

[00:26:05] use of that environment than we have in the past. Investors around the world are pumping millions of dollars into flying taxi products. We've covered all this. VTOL aircraft can take off straight up into the air rather than having to build up speed. That's what I don't know.

[00:26:20] Yeah, we can't have the ones that need to build up speed. No, we need to go like an Osprey. Up, up, up. Yes, then forward. We don't have enough area. No, no. We don't have enough area. We don't have enough area. We don't have enough area.

[00:26:36] We don't have enough area. We don't have enough area. No, no. Yeah. This people, this vertical aerospace, they have it so it goes up. So just know you'll get in, you'll lift, you'll levitate like Lou said. I will never forget this because it makes me laugh so hard.

[00:27:03] A few years ago, Lou decided he was going to try to exercise more. Louis Black. He won't even care if I tell you this story. Louis has never been in the inside of a gym in his life.

[00:27:15] No, but he does walk around New York City and he plays golf like he does stuff, but he's not a work outer guy. Like he doesn't even have the proper clothing. The one time I said to him, let's go to the gym.

[00:27:26] He came around the corner in these khaki shorts. I don't, I don't even know. The tennis shoes were not, no, not, no. Well, he went, there's kind of a fancy hotel in Los Angeles and he went down to the front desk and

[00:27:40] asked the lady if they had a gym. She said yes. And he's asked if it had a levitator. And I said, Lou, I don't know what that would mean. Does that mean like in the exorcist do you think you're just going to rise?

[00:27:57] And he goes, oh, you know the thing with the handles and the steps and the, I go, do you mean an elliptical? Well, yeah, that I said or a levitator. I cannot walk into a gym anywhere in the United States and see those machines and not start laughing

[00:28:14] because he thought that was called a levitator. And I said that he goes, she said no. So I went back to bed. I tried to do some 20 something at the desk. A levitator and then he'll get frustrated and he's loud anyway. He'll go, you know, a levitator.

[00:28:32] Like if he screams it, she's going to understand it more. She's like, yeah, we don't have any of that. So he went right back to bed. He used that as the excuse. Well, I had to go back to bed. No, we didn't.

[00:28:43] Update, update, update, update, update, update, update. Sam Bakman-Fried, little crypto man. He's in so, so, so much trouble. And then we talked about his parents are in on it now because they took a ton of the money and spent it on all this shit. He paid Tom Brady.

[00:29:02] Tom, my Tom. Well, I don't have his candle anymore. No, we'll bring it back out. $55 million for a week worth of work. What? Yeah. What do you do? Tom, he made those FTX commercials. Remember? Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah, well, this is when he was little did Tom know

[00:29:27] Sam knew things weren't good at this point. Yeah, so he was just spending the money like crazy. It didn't even matter. Michael Lewis who wrote Going Infinite, The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon told 60 Minutes at Sam Bakman-Fried whose federal trial on fraud

[00:29:45] is set to begin at the end today. As a matter of fact. Yeah. Yeah, this is last week's article. He splurged on endorsements from Tom Brady, Stephen Curry, and Larry David. Wow. He paid Tom Brady $55 million for 20 hours a year for three years. Wow.

[00:30:05] Lewis who shadowed Bakman-Fried for those fateful months during which his company went bankrupt and he was arrested and indicted, told CBS that Brady initially reacted with sadness after learning Bakman's free fall from grace. He really liked him and really hoped that he brought

[00:30:23] and really liked the hope that he brought. You know, how many of these, how many of these young guys in hoodies sleeping in beanbag chairs, eating cheez-its to become quote billionaires overnight with the crypto or the bullshit or whatever. How many are people going to keep believing?

[00:30:40] It's like we're in an era of it. And then another guy, I watched GameStop on Amazon or Netflix about how the kids did all that. Not saying was it smart. But you got away with it once. Is it going to, like, I don't know. It's a children.

[00:30:59] Well this guy, this guy, he could go to jail for 110 years for what he's done. Brady said now he tricked me. I'm angry. I don't have anything to do with it anymore. Now excuse me, why go spend $150 million on your... Yeah, yeah, I doubt you're giving it back.

[00:31:17] So that's that trial. I'll keep you updated though. It's starting. And the parents should be... I don't know if they understand how they're not on trial. You spent it too? You know where it came from? Unless you're going to play dumb and say,

[00:31:35] I just thought my magical child. God. If I even showed up with a portion of that kind of money my parents would be like, now where exactly did this come from? Like they would think I did something bad if all of a sudden I had $3 billion.

[00:31:51] They would question that. They would just take it. I know they wouldn't. They would want to. I'm very aware of that. Update! Shakira, Shakira, Shakira. Her hips don't lie. But her tax returns may have. Boom, I've been waiting to say that all week.

[00:32:12] Shakira charged with $7 billion tax evasion by Spanish prosecutors. I knew if you listen to this podcast we talked about this a long time ago and she officially charged her. But there was rumors. She's in the trouble box. Wow. Shakira, Shakira. Shakira. Barcelona, Barcelona. Spanish prosecutors have charged.

[00:32:38] Popstar Shakira failing to pay $7.1 million in tax on her 2018 income. Wow. Yep, she's Colombian. She's alleged to have used an offshore company based in an tax haven to avoid paying the tax. Barcelona prosecutor said she's been notified of the charges

[00:32:57] in Miami where she lives according to the statement. She is already due to be tried in Barcelona in a separate case that hinges on where she lived between 2012 and 2014. In that case prosecutors alleged she failed to pay $15 million in tax. Oh, boy.

[00:33:12] There's going to be a lot of rose shows. I feel a lot of rose shows coming up. A lot of dancing. Your hips better be good. They better be working. Prosecutors in Barcelona alleged the Grammy winner spent more than half of the 2012 and 2014 period in Spain

[00:33:28] and therefore should have paid taxes in that country even though her official residence is the Bahamas. You live in Miami, your official residence is the Bahamas. You're in Spain half the year. Right. It's the exact same. She doesn't... She's made no comment and her people won't.

[00:33:50] They said she's always been in accordance with the law. It doesn't sound like it. It doesn't sound like it. Nope. Shakira, whose full name is Shakira Isabel Mibarak Rippol, has been linked to Spain where she started dating the now retired soccer player Gerard BQ.

[00:34:09] I'm sure I said that wrong. Sorry, Gerard. They have two children. They lived in Barcelona until last year when they ended their relationship. Shakira's single... Spain tax authorities have passed their year of crackdown on soccer stars like Lionel Messi,

[00:34:27] Cristiano Ronaldo for not paying their full due in taxes. Those players were found guilty of tax evasion, but avoided prison time thanks to a provision that allows the judge to waive the sentence for under two years in life for first-time offenders. But here's the problem.

[00:34:40] Shakira's been a second-time offender if the 2012 thing happens. But I say you don't put her in prison. What a waste. You get her ass out on tour and make her pay it back. Exactly. Up they... Moving on. Shakira. Speaking of crazies, let's just talk about...

[00:35:00] not that Shakira's crazy, but we've had a lot of crazy on this podcast so far, with Elijah Blue living at the Chateau Marmont being looked like he's been dipped in something. I don't even know what that means. She freed Britney, and now I'm not a hundred percent sure

[00:35:18] we should have. It's not going well. Freedom is not going... However, I will always say it by my statement that I know people personally that are crazy than Britney and they are out. Yep. You know, where's the line? They can't have knives, but...

[00:35:36] Well, Britney got ahold of some knives. That's the problem. Britney got some knives, and she was doing a crazy dance on Instagram with the knives, and when you'd hear them click, you're like, they seem real. Big kitchen knives. Like, Michelle... Not Michelle, but like, big giant cooking

[00:35:52] kitchen knife. Then she said don't worry the knives aren't real. Then there's a video over on the next day on Instagram and she has band-aids all over her because she got herself. Ahhhh. Freedom... She should have a chef. Freedom is not going well. No.

[00:36:08] I feel bad for her. I just don't think this lady can get it together. No. And if it's mental illness, it's hard. And who's going to help her? You can't trust your mother. You can't trust your father. Her little sister is on the dancing show or some shit.

[00:36:20] She's taking advantage of the whole ride. She needs a whole different family. She needs to go to Minnesota and find a nice Lutheran family. That's what I've decided. She needs to take care of her. Somewhere cold where you'll behave more. Yeah. If you're in the sun a lot,

[00:36:34] you're going to go do crazy things. Yeah. I think a nice... I say that because I know the Lutheran church took a lot of immigrants when they didn't have a place to go and then they hooked them all up. Lots of Somalians. This is Brittany. Yeah. Can you...

[00:36:51] I know you're going to take all those Somalians during that period when Somalia was having a problem. Is there... Does anybody want Brittany? Yeah. Family? 41-year-old blonde thing? She'd make a fine living. She loves her dogs. Update! She has a lot of dogs.

[00:37:09] And they're in the background of the video, by the way, the dogs. I was really hyper-focused on the dogs. Little of those fluffy things. They're little fluffy things. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know what they are. But they were looking at her

[00:37:18] with the same amount of shock and awe. I was like, What are you doing? Even the dogs were like... Nobody was even barking. Yeah. They were just like staring with their... Oh my God. This is Madison. Madison was... Madison was... The Wienermobile is backed

[00:37:35] after the short-lived name change. We talked about this. Some reporter, whoever wrote the story, it doesn't say, waited their whole life to write this line. Some names are just the worst W-U-R-S-T, as in... Brought worst. Just four months after I last said that the hot dog-shaped Wienermobile

[00:37:55] was changing its name to the Frankmobile, the distinctive Wiener on wheels is reverting to the original. Yeah, it's the Wienermobile. Nobody orders a Frank. Is that an old-timey term? Who's... I've never... I know they're called ballpark Franks, but you don't go up and go,

[00:38:11] can I have a Frank? You say, can I have a hot dog? Yeah. A hot dog. A hot dog. What was that? A hot dog. A hot dog. Can I have a hot dog? Dog. Dog. Oscar Meyer. Announced Wednesday on Instagram that Frankmobile is toast.

[00:38:30] The Wienermobile rides again. Good. That should have stayed that way. Yeah. Nobody said that. Nobody knows what Frankmobile is. It's headed... Oscar Meyer was headquartered in Wisconsin Capital, Madison for a hundred years before he moved to Chicago in 2015. First Wienermobile was created in 1936 and has gone through several

[00:38:50] incarnations since. The most famous person who ever drove one? They're called hot doggers if you drive one. Oh, fun. US House Speaker Paul Ryan. He drove one first of summer in college. And then what happened? He's from Wisconsin. Yeah, well... Well, he had a summer job.

[00:39:05] Yeah, you would have to be nice and kind to do that. Well, maybe he was super friendly as a hot dog person. Sense of levity. Mm-hmm. Holy shit, they found it. Holy shit. This is amazing. God, I couldn't control myself. Castle Worker finds

[00:39:27] World's oldest Scotch once enjoyed by Queen Victoria in the cellar of historic Scotch Castle. It was already a century old when it was hidden away for more than 90 years. Oh my God. Now, 40 bottles of the world's oldest Scotch

[00:39:44] have been found during a clear out of a castle cellar. The whiskey once enjoyed by Queen Victoria. She was a little short, chubby one. Yep, she was. Look at her throwing back some. She likes Scotch. Yeah, it was found in a hidden room in Blair Castle Perthshire.

[00:40:02] I don't know where that's at. I think somewhere in Scotland. Trustee Birdie Trout unearthed the treasure trove when he moved an old door wedged against an opening to reveal the forgotten cellar. How great would that be? That would be awesome.

[00:40:16] He discovered the bottles covered in dust and cobwebs with a plaque on his shelf stating that they were cast in 1833, bottled in 1841 and re-bottled it in 1932 making it the world's oldest whiskey in the world. That's awesome. Mm-hmm. It's hard to put a value on this sort of vintage.

[00:40:35] It's literally history in a bottle. It's unlikely we'll see anything like this again. The remaining bottles will form part of a display for visitors at the castle. They look so magical with all the dust and history pouring out of them. I'd be tempted to open one. This one.

[00:40:51] This one. This one. This one. After dinner. Come on, come on, just one. Holy shit they found it. This... I gotta go to Norway. That's... I gotta get to Norway. Just days after it was revealed that a man

[00:41:12] with a metal detector made the gold find of the century. Where'd you hear about that? Oh, and there's podcasts. We talked about this man in Norway. A family in the country has made another... unprecedented discovery using the same kind of device.

[00:41:26] The family was looking for a lost gold earring in their garden with a metal detector when instead they discovered artifacts dating back more than a thousand years. I know! This is crazy! My dad used to tell me if I dug a hole in the yard

[00:41:40] deep enough I would get to China. Right. Did you have it in Canada? Well, I dug a lot. And I didn't find shit. These people wander out looking for an earring and find Thor God of Thunder's wallet. A word? Look, it's Thor's wallet!

[00:41:59] No, it's got his idea and everything in it. The Assevic family was searching for a lost jewelry in their home in Jobfrudland. Jobfrudland. But as soon as they turned the metal detector on they stumbled upon a bowl shape, buckle in another item

[00:42:13] to be part of a Viking area burial. Wow. Pfft! Image of the count... Image posted the council show the family with a a clasp and a buckle and intricate engravings on the side of their discovery. The discoveries made in the middle of the garden under a big tree.

[00:42:29] Experts believe the two metal artifacts were used in the woman's burial from the 9th century. Wow. They're believed to be first Viking-era discovery in Jobfrudland, an island off Norway's southern coast. Experts knew there had been a settlement dating back many years but the available evidence

[00:42:45] previously only existed to the early Middle Ages. Wow. Pfft! They did everything correctly in contact with us first, officials said. Yeah. This guy, the dad, he's 51, he just bought the metal detector. Um... Oh, this is a different dad. He found three nine pendants, three gold,

[00:43:03] and this guy we talked about last week. So good for you Norwegians. That's cool. Finding all kinds of crazy stuff. Oh my god, moving on to news! I never thought my life like a foot, feels sorry for an alligator. Really feel sorry for it.

[00:43:18] Let's get out of it. Like, sad. Like, I love to go, everybody you know if you've seen my act, I go to Gatorland every time I'm in Orlando. I'm fascinated with alligators because on one hand it looks like they're smiling, on the other hand

[00:43:30] I know they could devour me and instead... Well, there's an alligator that was found and half of the top of his snout is gone. Really? It's like his eyes and then it's somebody ate, probably another alligator. They eat, they do eat one another. He survived.

[00:43:49] But they didn't know how he was even alive. How's he catching it? I don't know, I don't think he catches things, I think some lands on his open jaw by accident. That's quite another bite. Yeah, it's a huge other bite. But guess who adopted this alligator? Gatorland.

[00:44:08] No way! Yep, so now I could go visit it! I'm going to see him. It was wandering around Central Florida with the top of its jaw missing. Now it has a name too. They named her Jolleen. Get it? She continues to receive treatment

[00:44:25] in isolation from the other Gatorland animals. She has gained about... Oh, she hasn't gained much weight. According to Crocodilian Enrichment Coordinator, Savannah Bone. Gatorland which took... I'm so proud of Gatorland. And they have a lot of individual areas where this one can kind of heal on its own.

[00:44:41] They don't put it in the pond immediately with a 1500, that would be terrible. They chose Jolleen from a list of names submitted by park goers and fans of the viral reptile. The park has been in conversation with the animal and human prosthetic makers about

[00:44:59] how a potential prosthetic upper jaw for Jolleen but has decided to hold off where the Gator gets comfortable and her new environment puts on more weight. That's awesome! Yeah, go for Gatorland. We're gonna give you a home and a new mouth.

[00:45:11] Yep, you're gonna get a whole new jaw. Isn't that gonna be exciting for you? You can act like an alligator again. That'll just be so great. That's a build up of your teeth. My teeth don't meet so maybe I should go down there

[00:45:25] and tell them my parents forgot to take me to the dentist for 20 years. And yeah. Yeah, while your teeth weren't broken, were they? Yeah. Oh my gosh, this is a little souvenir. Would you pay this about $262,000? I would not pay this. It's kind of cool though.

[00:45:50] They're making an honest buck from Honest Abe. Two front row balcony tickets from the night Abraham Lincolnate was assassinated inside Ford's Deer have been sold at auction for a cool $262,500. That's crazy. There's a little travel tip for you. If you ever go to D.C.

[00:46:08] and you have an hour or so, go to the Ford Theater. I will be performing there. Just a few weeks? Yeah, but you should go to the Ford Theater. I've been a million times. I love it, I love it, I love it.

[00:46:22] And there's 100 tours you can take, whatever. And then in the basement there's a museum and then across the street is the house where Abraham Lincoln died. They moved him across the street. The beds were so tiny. I would have really rocked it out back then.

[00:46:36] Everybody was so short. I'm like that was my time. Because he was over six foot tall in the beds, like my size, it's like five foot. Yeah, and then you got to take that top hat off. The Trepeze, Trepeze, Trebsilie, shaped tickets

[00:46:53] with a corner believed to have been clipped on admission are from the D.C. Playhouse's performance of our American cousin dated April 14th, 1865. There's seats 41 and 42 with the section D penciled in for dress circle. The tickets offered an unobstructed view of the murdered president who was shot.

[00:47:10] Oh, these people. So it wasn't his seats. It's just two that were in the theater and they had an unobstructed view of him dying. But that would only be if you paid attention. You're probably watching the play. And then it's like a heckler.

[00:47:24] All of a sudden you start hearing rumblings and you're like what's going on over there and then you see Kaboom. The presidential box occupied by the Lincoln's was also located on the dress circle more or less directly across the street

[00:47:37] from the front row seats represented by these two. The tickets are in perfect condition. I mean, except the clip part. Yeah. These type of Ford ticket theater tickets exceedingly rare auction records revealed no other examples offered since their original sales part of the Forbes collection in 2002.

[00:47:55] Another rare ticket from the performance which is kept at Hartons, Harvard's Houghton library was used to verify the authenticity of the two dress circle stubs through consistencies. They were not the most expensive for that evening. They rang a total of 75 cents. Whereas orchestra seating was priced at $1.

[00:48:14] Did they have ticket master fees? Everybody's complaining. They should be. I'm sorry for the ticket fees on my day. That's why I keep my ticket prices low. I saw the fees of what went on with some of these Stevie tickets. Yeah.

[00:48:33] Anyway, you know the rest of the story of Abraham Lincoln. It was a bad night at the theater. He didn't make it. But as a tourist, it's a little side people don't really think about it. They go to the Smithsonian and all the big good things.

[00:48:44] But it's a great tour. And the thing in the basement is off the museum in the basement if it's still there. I don't know how I've been at least in probably five years. Okay. Do you have $1.8 million? Well, did you enjoy the movie Halloween with Jamie Lee Curtis?

[00:49:02] I never saw it. Yeah. The last scary movie I saw was the Exorcist. I'm like, oh, I'm done with that now. That whole genre can go fuck itself because I'm going to be up for days thinking I'm shaking in the bed. I'm possessed.

[00:49:18] I did something. I've let the devil in. I can't... No. So honestly, I've never seen it. But the house, it's in Pasadena, is for sale. The house that they filmed at, you can go buy it. Four bedrooms and avocado tree and pack with charm. Don't worry.

[00:49:35] There's not been a slasher killer here in years. A frightening new real estate venture has just hit the market for the upcoming time, upcoming spooky season. Yes, the house from the beloved horror film Halloween is for sale. It could be yours for $1.8 million

[00:49:49] if the price tag doesn't scare you away. It's in South Pasadena and we know why it was made famous. So go ahead. I wonder how many people though. You'd have to really get that straightened out so that you could do it.

[00:50:03] Because you don't want every lookie-loo coming in there that's not really going to buy it. You have a pre-qualifier or something. Is it called movie? They're all under it. Yes, I understand. It's not like a cult of people. I get it. This is really strange. So

[00:50:23] in Los Angeles, if you drive up La Cienega right before sunset, there's all these they're not art museums. They're art where you would go buy very expensive things. I always just see rugs and Buddha's statue. I never went in one because I just figured I can't afford it

[00:50:45] and be, I don't really want it. But there's one I used to drive by all the time. A thief slipped into a Ritzi LA art gallery to steal an ancient statue worth $1.5 million with the daring high scot on a security camera. The bronze sculptor depicted across Legged Buddha

[00:51:03] was swiped from the Barricade Gallery in Beverly Grove around 3.45 a.m. on September 18th. The 250-pound artifact goes back to Japan's Edo period, spanning 1603 to 1867 and was believed to have been commissioned as the centerpiece of a temple. Art Museum? Hello people. I don't

[00:51:27] I really think my house is safer with a ring doorbell. I move your shit here. And five queens. Nobody's, yeah nobody, the cats. No. Chapel will not let you succeed. I mean, they he pulled a truck up to the back. Where's your alarms? A moving truck,

[00:51:45] a budget moving truck pulled to the driveway of the gate. A hoodie-wearing driver stepped out, busted open the gate, scurried past the cameras into the gallery and said, how did he pick up 250 pounds? That's a lot. Then he moved the statue into the truck. Process took around 25 minutes.

[00:52:03] 25 minutes, no one came. Wow. The gallery owner was very sad. He said I prized it so much I had it in the backyard of my home. When I moved to this gallery I put it in the backyard of the gallery for everybody to admire and enjoy.

[00:52:13] Well, this guy really liked it. He really admired it. This place is features the largest ancient art collection in the world for sale with other local art. I should have went in there. I didn't really understand what it was. It just looked like a rich person thing.

[00:52:29] I'm like, yeah, that would just kick me out. I had opened in 2017 and said, wow, yeah. Well, hold on though. Here's the crazy part. I do all this work. He suspected the ancient artifact would be virtually impossible to sell without getting caught. Right.

[00:52:47] Or the guy waits it out. You just go in the market. You can't take it to a pawn shop and shell it for a few thousand dollars. It's just not possible. It's like a museum heist thing where what are you going to do this object right now?

[00:52:59] We're all very curious and puzzled, to be honest. Considering all the possible outcomes, he expressed that the thief might melt the centuries for bronze. No, he's not going to do that. Maybe he wanted it. Maybe he admired it that much and thought I want that for my yard.

[00:53:13] Yeah. It goes next to my plastic club. Hold on though. Because it gets better. This is the history of the thing. We don't need all that. But, yeah, hold on. Buddha's back! The $1.5 million statue is recovered. What? Yeah, this all happened by the time I did this podcast.

[00:53:35] Oh my God. One point mystery surrounds the theft. LA police recovered the stolen 250-pound Japanese Buddha statue valued over 1.5 million. But the suspect does not believe to be the original thief. And the mystery she'll shrouds the heist of the centuries-old artifact. Paul Henderson, director of the gallery

[00:53:51] in Beverly Hills, said the bronze statue was found Saturday night stowed in the bed of a truck with no license plate. Oh my God. We're ecstatic, we're shocked. He said an anonymous tip was what clued investigators onto its location. The registered owner of the vehicle

[00:54:07] identified as Justin Livick, 44 years old, was arrested on suspicion of receiving stolen property. He was cited and released. Well, why'd you do that? They said the arrest was in connection and the discovery, but he's not believed to be the thief. The theft was reported, we all know that.

[00:54:25] So they got it back. Somebody ratted somebody out. Somebody got nervous, I think, and said what the hell are we going to do with this? We can't sell it. Are you going to go on the show, pawn stores, stars? Hey, look what I found.

[00:54:39] Will you guys give me any money for this? No? Okay. Okay. No? No? Okay. Let's talk about... Well, this is just a little... This is a tiny announcement. Two book break book sales Record at Christie's Auction Here are the most expensive books ever sold. A pair of books

[00:58:55] circle I saw it being constructed a while back but I didn't really understand what it was I had to go work but a couple weeks ago it was an emoji and it was a smiling face and it was blinking really slowly and then it fell asleep

[00:59:13] and that's when I decided it's my leader I want to live by it I would get out in the morning and I would do whatever it said because it's so big like if it came out he was on fire and he had like little

[00:59:27] devil horns and pitchforks going like this I would be like yes we're angry today okay what should I do what should I do I wait for a command but when it fell asleep and then it winked at you at the end it went it was wonderful

[00:59:43] now they would say it was open and you too is the band they chose I mean I'll go see you too they're fine Bono's a little in love with Bono for my taste I know I read a review of somebody a reviewer

[01:00:08] he said it was boring and depressing and that they looked like tiny little dots and everybody's so obsessed with looking at the rest of the place because there's just shit everywhere above you, beyond you, on the side of you so that's still happening

[01:00:20] well I mean I guess you can choose if you want but if you're doing one love one that song which I never even like Sunday Bloody Sunday and then let's start marching and shooting and I'm so sick of that that's a good Irish rebel song this guy wrote

[01:00:40] for several years a mysterious spherical structure has been rising in this guideline of the desert playground teasing visitors in recent months with its wrap around LED screen transforming the giant orb into a planet a basketball or most distractingly a blinking eyeball I didn't love the eyeball

[01:01:00] I liked the tennis ball they did that for the 2.3 billion dollar venture that's how much it cost made its public debut with two concerts by you too, does it live up to the hype this guy says yes yes with a few caveats describing this for your concert

[01:01:18] experience is a challenge because there's nothing quite like it the effect is a little like being in a giant planetarium or a juiced up IMAX theater inside a giant spaceship built by medicine square garden entertainment is being built as the world's largest spherical structure say that a lot

[01:01:34] that's hard 366 feet tall 515 516 feet wide yeah that's crazy I wouldn't pick you too as the blast off band I think a lot of people are fine they're like yeah I'll go and then they have their fanatics imagine dragons are fun the drums in there would be great but

[01:02:06] they're doing 25 shows there and then I don't know what next week brings the premiere of postcards from earth a film by Darren Aaron Foskey that promises take full advantage that'd be cool it's a massive tour of the planet wow more concerts in 2024 yeah

[01:02:28] the U2 tickets are where some as low is 150-200 bucks so if you wanted to go to just get in the sphere then you're going to get your beer that's $27 $27 that means a tall one yeah do you have $65 million who?

[01:02:48] I just love that there's this many rich people out there just pissing money away oh, a neighbor Hamlin can theater ticket yes so much, quarter of a million no problem 65 million Christie's is going to sell a Monet oh yo yo yo young water lily painting in November

[01:03:12] 2 meters wide by 1 meter tall it was in his estate when he died in 1926 it's been in the same private collection since 1972 as far as we can tell it has never been seen publicly which also means it's in great condition

[01:03:30] we don't know what if the people in that house smoked tons of cigs you don't know I think that's crazy now see that I could understand buying because it's an investment and you could have it in your house

[01:03:42] but then think of all the security you'd have to have for your house it would be crazy because people would know you have it the bad people would know that speaking of art museums and then I'm going to I've got two more stories a German museum employee

[01:03:58] has been caught shamelessly swapping out original paintings for fakes to fund his life what? I do not understand what is going on at art museums like could we have a meeting I'm not even in your world people are walking out with 250 pound buddhas

[01:04:18] people are throwing paint and spaghetti and shit nobody's stopping them soup I mean this guy is amazing he spent the money on a new apartment a German museum employee has confessed to an audacious audacious scheme after he was caught swapping out paintings with forgeries

[01:04:40] selling the originals to fund a luxurious lifestyle he's received a suspended prison sentence of one year and nine months and must pay back the $63,500 to the German museum he's a 30 year old he stole three paintings while working at the museum in Munich as a technician

[01:04:56] he replaced the paintings with fake while they were in storage consigning the originals to a Munich auction house he sold them is there not one fucking camera hey what's that guy doing looks to me like he's taking our painting down and putting one up that looks

[01:05:12] very much like it is that cool oh my god I mean the things that are going on wow after two more paintings were switched out as fake they kind of caught on after attempting to sell a fourth one at another Munich auction he was unsuccessful

[01:05:36] we regret that the works were stolen we cooperated closely I mean they sold the three they're gone now you have to beg for it to general public to return them the defendants shamelessly exploited the opportunity to access the storage room in the employers

[01:05:56] buildings and sold valuable cultural assets okay you let you don't have cameras in your storage rooms where you store paintings what is his job he was a technician I don't know what that means in an art museum I don't know he had a gig there though

[01:06:14] it's just amazing to me I would think there would just be well I assume there's cameras everywhere everywhere you go but especially in an art museum now this lady then we're going to do lyrics this lady gets apple I don't have it I have a mac error pro

[01:06:43] and I like it but I don't I have an android I don't have an eye watch I have the oldest fit bit ever made and I got the rest of them because I know their children will hoard them from me and they'll jack up the price

[01:06:59] because they know there's old people like me that are going to say I have to have that pit I can't learn a new fit bit can't do it it's very old I'm about 26 miles look at me 12,400 stuffs anyway I do understand though that apple people are in love

[01:07:41] the news breaking news I'm sitting here with my fit bit I'm like I'm a lot younger than you and I'm not doing any of that maybe I'll go get the android watch really turned some heads for my android 4 I've gone into the apple store

[01:08:01] though because of my mac air book the one in Nashville it's on Broadway it's crazy it's so busy and the guy was telling me it's a lot of drunk girls on Broadway the batch of red parties they drop their phones and the screen breaks

[01:08:19] and they can't not have that for a whole batch or a part of that so they'll pay crazy fees to have it expedited to fix that I won't be kidding what am I going to do I've got a jello shot

[01:08:35] because they put it in the middle of all the honky-tonks and bars and I'm like really really apple are people going to go oh I think in the middle of doing moonshine shots and getting hammered I'm going to go buy a new computer really? but it's working

[01:08:49] I mean the place is packed but I think this lady that I'm going to tell you about should be featured in their new ad campaign woman rescued from out house toilet climbing in to retrieve apple watch first of all she should get a new watch immediately

[01:09:06] if apple cares this is not that far it's only 240 miles north of Detroit oh boy that's Canada Bagley township Michigan I don't understand I've been to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and they had toilets I don't understand why there's an out house involved she might have been camping

[01:09:31] a woman was rescued Tuesday from an out house toilet in northern Michigan after she climbed and retrieved her apple watch and became trapped the woman whose name was that released lowered herself inside the toilet after dropping the watch at the department of natural resources boat launch

[01:09:45] at Dixon Lake in Astigo County's Bagley town so she was launching a boat that's their bathroom first responders were called when they heard the woman yelling for help and was removed and a strap was used to haul her out if you lose an item in an out house

[01:10:07] toilet do not attempt to venture inside the containment area serious injury may occur you like a heart attack cause I'm in a pile of shit how about that the police did not say Wednesday if the one was injured or if the watch was recovered

[01:10:21] Bagley township is about 240 miles north west of Detroit apple needs to call this lady right now first she gets a free watch and then we do an ad campaign with her how much do you love your you don't want to encourage the children to do things

[01:10:35] but she should get rewarded for that I can't stand this smell and obviously she doesn't have a ton of money to just go ah fuck it I'll buy another one she wanted that watch it meant a lot yeah it could be hard to get

[01:10:50] every time I go down there I see all those sad children they're always like yeah we're sold out of that every watch brand those kids want that computers and put my website on and it won't leave till someone else changes it so I make the whole place
