Episode 158: Bankrupting the Vegas Sphere, Swiftie Seances, & Pizza Hut’s New Snake Pizza

[00:00:08] Hey everybody, it's me Kathleen Madigan. Welcome to Madigan's Pubcast. You grab yourself a drink, pull up a bar stool, and let's talk about what's been going on. Hermites! I'm winding you with Episode 158! Oh, from my wand.

[00:00:35] If I was a queen, no, I would do annoying things to the court. Welcome to the meeting! I'd like to invade Spain! Oh, it's Hermites! Back from Denver! It's one of my favorite cities. All the comics are so strange.

[00:01:03] Some of them aren't allowed to leave the state due to crazy behavior. Yeah, there's a... well, I was looking backstage here. So Josh Blue, who I love, love, love, love, love, very, very funny. You should go see him.

[00:01:16] Josh has cerebral palsy. My friend Brad Williams is over at the comedy club. He sold out all his shows. He's a little person. John Novusad, aka Hippie Man, totes true, tried and true hippie from Boulder. Takes the bus everywhere, just loves weed.

[00:01:34] It's just a wonderful little circus of comics. And Stephanie McHugh, my friend Stephanie, she came down in two shows and so many things to talk about. In Denver, I'm just telling you, I should write a little travel book called Hangouts, where I like to hang out.

[00:01:49] And then the termites probably like in the same things because I'm not really into fancy. Sam's downtown, I know I've talked about... I had open-faced turkey with mashed potatoes. It's like Catholic grade school food or your grandma's food.

[00:02:02] But you can have breakfast, you can... anytime. They're open till 10 o'clock at night. Full bar in the back. I recommend the back bar seating. Unless you want the diner feel, then you got to stay up front. But I like that too.

[00:02:14] And the shows were great at the Paramount. The Paramounts such a wonderful theater. And they try to get people in fast but I apologize. Sometimes we start late. It's not because I'm not there. It's not because I'm not ready.

[00:02:25] It's because sometimes the bonding on security takes too long and people want to get a drink. And I think they should be able to get a drink. I would not want a show starting while I'm in line. And John, open, John Nova said, he's very, very funny.

[00:02:37] And I don't want to do that to him where people are all still filing him when he goes on the stage because he's funny. And if I paid for the whole show, I want to see John. So anybody complaining if we're starting 15 or 20 minutes late, that's why.

[00:02:49] It's for you guys. It's not for me. Right. I have my drinks. I have all kinds of drinks backstage. I have whatever I want. I'm perfectly ready to go. I'm always there at least an hour and a half before. So many things.

[00:03:02] Well, I gotta give a shout out to my friend Jessica too. And I met her mom and dad backstage because she works at a hotel. I like, and then she was like, oh my God, she realized who I was.

[00:03:13] And then I made a video for her mom and then they came to the show and they came backstage, which was super. Yes, it was super fun to meet because when people are like my mom, I forget how old I am. And I'm like, hold your mom.

[00:03:24] But they were totally fun, hip parents. So and Jessica is probably younger than I think. I don't even know. I don't know. But she she is a fan too. And then our mom gave away the tickets that Jessica was like, well, I was going to go too.

[00:03:38] I can find two more. No problem. The cheese board. She gave me a cheese board in my room. It was wonderful. There was a brie on there that I have yet to identify. It was delicious. It was a life saver Friday night.

[00:03:55] So what am I drinking out of this flyover brewing company glass? And that's from Lenny, Katie, Kristen and Kelly. Wait, no, the logger glasses from Jill Andrew Sally and Matt. Sometimes this stuff gets confusing and they brought these little hair boob hairs.

[00:04:12] Look at the other new kinds of hair bow. I'm supposed to say I can't change it now. It's too late. It's not like somebody's parent, but whatever. I haven't tasted them yet, but look, they're like, I've never seen these.

[00:04:23] If you're not watching and you're listening, they're like a life saver role of hair boot bears. It's called mega roulette. I'll taste those later because they're not going to go. This beer is the Volkswagen Vienna style logger that came from Lenny, Katie, Kristen and Kelly.

[00:04:40] I imagine her on the roller derby team because they brought me a roller derby hat. Now here's the thing. I can't go roller derby because the only time I've broken limbs as a child was roller skating.

[00:04:50] Like I am just clumsy. My nickname is Grace. I should not be allowed to do things like that. And I broke, I don't even know which arms a lot always of roller skating. Yep. Yep. This made me laugh my head. Well, let's just go down.

[00:05:06] Oh, well, they brought bears. Dean and Tom brought these gummy things, the hair boot gummy things. Okay, I got it. And an invitation to golf. Well, it's kind of, there's a lot of things going on.

[00:05:19] I'm shouting out everyone. Nicole and Jessica made this. They made me a hat and they made baby cat a hat. Stop it. And wait till you see the video. I already put it on her. Oh my God, that's awesome.

[00:05:32] Baby cat's the most compliant out of all the cats and she sat on the couch. You'll see the video. She was stunned. I think she was like, what the fuck? But she didn't take it off.

[00:05:42] And then I thought maybe she likes it. Maybe in the winter when she's out prowling around. Yeah, it's a baby cat hat. It's Nicole. Thanks for bringing joy of a book. Jessica. So you guys can see the video that was already done this morning. Wow, that's funny.

[00:06:00] She ran outside. I think she was like, I've had enough of you're playing around. Yeah. Is this, well that's something with her cat. Hold on. Wendy and Scott shout out to the Bigfoot ornament. The tree this year is going to have a lot of big boy.

[00:06:16] Yolanda, she works for United Airlines. She brought me some earplugs and stuff, but she also, she, because she travels a lot. This made me laugh so hard. Where is it? She wrote me a note.

[00:06:26] This is a card from the equivalent of a dollar store somewhere in Asia, but it's the 100 yen store. She said it's like the dollar store. She brought Dutch beers and then these, which I'm going to taste. These are from, it's Komadex Indonesia natural something. Oh, potato chips.

[00:06:49] I couldn't read that. I don't read it Indonesian. Oh, no, they're like smart pots. What are those things called? No, the pops. Pops. Yeah. I don't know. That's why you don't live in Indonesia. Yeah, I appreciate the effort. But those are pretty, I don't know.

[00:07:13] Well, she said they're usually served with some sauce. Maybe I need the sauce. Yeah. Yeah, I think the, um, some sort of peanut sauce. Yeah. Right. I think, thank you, Yolanda. This is the card they're selling for a dollar.

[00:07:28] Look at it. It opens up. It's just paper. I mean, that's funny. But it has Asian writing on it. She's like, I don't know what this says, but it's probably something very inappropriate. That's great.

[00:07:39] Um, Salt Lake Christmas ornaments I got from the real Great Salt Lake. Yes, from Lisa Carla. I got some National Geographic stickers from Becky, an elder millennial termite. Elder statesmen of the millennials. Frozen margarita pops.

[00:07:58] I will admit I had one, um, but I didn't realize it was supposed to be frozen, but it was still good. And then I gave them to Josh. Well, Josh really wanted them. Yeah.

[00:08:09] And I was like, I don't have a tough time getting them home, but I do. If I can't use the things or get them home, I do. They go, they don't go to waste. So yeah.

[00:08:17] Also, Selena and Amber Albuquerque termites. We're going to, um, I got to get to Albuquerque. And I don't know why they don't book it because it doesn't go with anything. Like somebody typed it was very funny on Instagram when I was doing Denver videos.

[00:08:34] You do realize you're only eight hours away from Albuquerque. Like, yes, I know that because I've Googled cities that connect with Albuquerque for, for, I don't like to fly the day of a show though. So, right?

[00:08:46] Cause I think it's too risky and it makes me too nervous cause I'm a responsible human being. Um, Albuquerque goes with nothing. Like there's nothing. You have to fly there. Well, no, I have to fly there, but I'm saying where would the next show be?

[00:08:59] Like on ones on Friday, ones on Saturday, Thursday, whatever. Well, very hard to connect. So what I want to do is if there's enough response for termites, I want to do two nights in Albuquerque. Yeah, I've never even been there.

[00:09:13] Maybe for a corporate gig, but it was in and out, but they're usually in Santa Fe because that's where it seems to me the richer people go. I don't know what that's all about. I'm not in charge of that.

[00:09:23] I'm just saying corporate gigs are these fancy ass places in Santa Fe. Tim and Erica brought me an Ouija board that was like kind of homemade, I think. Well, it was very funky, very cool. It's very funky.

[00:09:34] And these beer, these coasters and then we're done with all that. Sally and Randy, these are Queen coasters. There's Dolly, there's Stevie. And they have beer goggles on. No, they're beer goggles. Well, maybe they're ski goggles because it's California. I prefer beer goggles.

[00:09:52] I mean, because it's Colorado. I prefer it's beer goggles, whatever. Dolly, I'll be seeing the movie tomorrow night of Rockstar. Very excited about that. My little friend, Dorf is going to go. I don't know how much he cares about all that, but he's going.

[00:10:06] Yeah, it's weird because I won't go to movies with him. But he, I don't like the movies he likes. Like, oh, he likes, no, like James Bond and he's a dude. Like, you know, like all the action things. I just Tom Cruise. I don't care.

[00:10:24] The last time Cruz movie I saw he was 16 and or whatever in the you know, that one a long time ago. Yeah, where he's dancing and singing and all that. Okay, so let's just get moving on then here. Wait, one other announcement Cincinnati. Are you listening? Hello, Ohio.

[00:10:48] Something went wrong with the seat map there. And if you went to go by tickets, it said it was sold out the whole time since the Monsail. It's not sold out. So if you thought that while there were like single seats left, I would have went, oh,

[00:11:03] shit. Oh well, you know, yeah. So not very happy with that error, but it's fixed. So Cincinnati expect you to get on that seat map. Buys the tickets. Shares hoodie is the paramount they gave me that hoodie. What? Yeah, now give it to me.

[00:11:25] It's Queen News. Stevie no news. Share no news. She got the free sweatshirt though. Sure got a free sweatshirt and her Christmas album is killing it. Um, Queen News. Um, Dolly, her imagination library has now spread to Missouri, my home state. Yes.

[00:11:42] Department of the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Office on partner with Dolly. I'm shocked because the Missouri can be so conservative. They'd be like, well, what books are you bringing over here? I mean, we're going to have a book burning like crazy shit.

[00:11:57] Children under the age of five can be registered to receive free age appropriate books delivered to their home in order to get the books apparent and guardian must register child books will be built directly to the homes of the registered child every month.

[00:12:09] Every registered children in 1995 she launched her major nation library that is gifted over 2 million books to kids across the world. The state is responsible for getting the money to buy the books. Good. Yeah. Um, so that's starting up now. Missouri is the first state to launch.

[00:12:25] Oh, 14 other states have the imagination library. Why not all the states? Come on. You got the money. Right. They got to get on board. They do have to get on board. Yeah. Let me move this. I can move this. Um, Tay Tay updates. Been a week.

[00:12:46] Oh my God. Oh my God. I'm not going to go crazy with the Taylor running off the stage kiss, but it was adorable. And I mean, I know everybody's over talked it and people are going to get sick of it.

[00:12:59] But thankfully for him football will be over and you know, whenever probably the suit they chiefs after they win the Super Bowl and Tay Tay shows up and then all of the two children this with these will go crazy. She melted ticked up Saturday night.

[00:13:15] She melted ticked up. Did it break? Probably. Well, listen to this. Taylor Taylor Swift tickets in Vancouver started today. They're already being re-listed for up to $20,000. Oh my God. I mean, who can afford that? Nobody is doing that. But this is even funny.

[00:13:35] Those who missed out on the presale code to Swiss van. Vancouver errors door concept next year watched into smithers sales finally opened up and tickets were gobbled up only for many to immediately reappear on resale sites like Seat

[00:13:48] Geek and stuff up for thousands of dollars as of 3pm Eastern. Just an hour after the ticket, they went live. They were listed for as much as $19,994 on seat and 10,359 on stuff up. They go on sale December 6th, 7th and 8th and are staggered

[00:14:06] to begin at one four and eight. I don't even know how that anybody handles this anymore. This is Vancouver's situation mirrors Toronto's when the Swift Errors tickets went up for sale. Some immediately were re-listed for $21,000. Meanwhile, I love this. Swifties are chanting and manifesting their way into tickets.

[00:14:28] What? Manifests. I love manifesting. I actually heard a lady on a plane go, nobody manifests like Charlotte. What? Like you have a friend that's a great manifestor. She meant it too. One British Columbia mom told the Canadian press that she found her two teenage daughters huddled around candles,

[00:14:52] lucky crystals and Taylor Swift friendship bracelets Tuesday night. They had a sign that says we will get Taylor Swift tickets and they were chanting we will get a Taylor Swift pre-code pre-sale code. We will get Taylor Swift tickets over and over and over. It was so cute.

[00:15:09] Are you doing your homework? Yes. You're supposed to be reading your history stuff. I know. I'm on it mom. I will get Taylor Swift tickets. I will get Taylor Swift tickets. The Tay-Tay people need to find a second place person where

[00:15:25] they're just as happy but I don't think they can. No. No. Go after Queen Stevie, her tickets can go super low or super high. This also made me laugh my ass off. Taylor Swift postponed Argentina show prompts airline to

[00:15:42] wave flight and change fees because she had to cancel because it was raining. Right. And it really was raining crazy hard and Travis happened to get there that day so good luck for both of them. That's wonderful timing but she didn't cancel just because he was there.

[00:15:57] I don't think she would ever do that. LATAM Airlines, the largest carrier in South America said it wouldn't charge customers date change or fees or differences in fare so they can stay in the city longer. That is the same thing they do for natural disasters. Yes.

[00:16:12] Taylor has now reached the level of a natural disaster. An earthquake, a hurricane. She was postponing a show due to heavy rain. The platform for she said due to rain and the rain was crazy there were pictures of it.

[00:16:30] I mean there were kids it was up to their shins. Yeah. They tweeted out attention Swifties. The airlines did. We know your planes changed. Your planes changed so starting tomorrow we are updating our flexibility possible policy for those flights from Buenos Aires.

[00:16:46] Airlines routinely had extra flights for events like Hype but this is way different. But a change fee waiver when a concert is canceled or postponed is very unusual in this trajectory. It was told CNBC. It's also a sign of how much her tour drives

[00:17:06] bookings while it might be a new error for airline waivers the errors tour has impacted other like hotels and everything like that but I just think wow you have the power of an earthquake. Like I'm not obsessed with Tay Tay but I am obsessed with

[00:17:21] I am sort of obsessed with the phenomenon of it. It's amazing because I've never seen anything like it in our lifetime and I'm not sure I will live long enough to see anything like it again. We were talking about how. Michael Jackson didn't. Globally.

[00:17:35] Globally yeah he was global. Michael was global. Maybe even better bigger in Asia stuff they seem to go a little crazier. She hasn't gone to Asia yet I know the tour goes all the way till December of next year.

[00:17:50] I look at those dates and I just I want to lay down. I just want to go to my couch with baby cat and lay down and go la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

[00:17:59] I'm not going I'm not going I'm not going I'm not knowing it's crazy but she's you know way younger and good for you. All right moving on. This is so there's so many updates update. The children the anti oil press or a protesters.

[00:18:20] Um they smashed a very valuable painting. I oh Tanya I forgot yeah because I can't see. There was something else with Dolly the movie. I know there's always the movies coming out this week. Yeah I have my ticket.

[00:18:41] Tanya on the CMA's just looked wonderful and came out at the end and saying Delta Dawn because she got put into the Hall of Fame so that'll come out and sing Delta Dawn and she looked the best she's looking a long long time

[00:18:54] so whatever you're doing I'm sure cutting back on fruits and vegetables. Oh my god I mean not cutting. That's what everybody who's taking those epics like I just switched up my diet. Oh stop just say it say it. I lost the equivalent of a nine year old.

[00:19:11] I just started eating grapes and then I was like oh my god I'm so skinny. But whatever the hell I don't care. Um in Jelly Roll my friend opened the show and then Winona came out and that got all very weird

[00:19:28] um but Jelly Roll was extremely polite about whatever the hell um I don't even know what went on. I did forget to read this one too. Deanna sent a card backstage and I used to do gigs these are fellow St. Luenzi's but they've been in Denver forever

[00:19:49] and they want to invite me to golf which is very nice and they brought the salt and pepper pancettios but they saw me a hundred years ago every year I used to do this benefit for ALS in Chicago for this guy Bob and he died

[00:20:01] and I learned more about ALS and it's just if you ever have anyone who needs to donate to any disease that is just terrible. That's like one of the worst I've ever seen um but the Bob guy had a really good spirit

[00:20:13] and uh you know it's weird that people remember that yeah that they were there that long ago and they're like yeah we remember you from the Chicago whooped yeah anyway um the children have gotten into the London gallery

[00:20:28] with they're not hammers what they have I watched the video it looks like a dumbbell like a three pound dumbbell how in Christ's name did you get that through security listen the children shouldn't be doing this

[00:20:45] I think it's ridiculous it makes it all it does is make people mad it makes me mad you're ruining art that's for everyone for everyone and it's hundreds and thousands of years old we only have so many great things on earth

[00:20:58] and you're just fucking them up because you have something to say well okay we heard you but now I don't like you so I don't want to help you it's no it is not a way to make friends and acquaintances by destroying things

[00:21:10] they hit the gas on their latest display of environmental activism breaking through a glass ceiling of swords or a pricey glass covered painting is more like it the wild display of demonstrations and this goes on for a while you should see the video where's security I don't know

[00:21:26] they're behind the ropes too you know they rope off in a super fancy gallery the wild display of demonstration went down on Monday at London's National Gallery which was housing Diego Vela Squez painting here getting absolutely crushed by just a couple of just stop oil advocates

[00:21:46] who have a history of destroying art to make their point in this case they were caught red handed again well yeah then they gave a speech afterwards they bashed the glass I don't know if it messed up the painting

[00:21:59] only this time instead of making a mess by splashing some crap on a painting they decided to just hammer away watch this girl and guy who are proudly rocking their JSO just stop oil shirts

[00:22:11] go to work on go to town on the glass covered work of this guy the famous guy which is known as there's a word for the painting something roka bee venus it doesn't look like they were able to get the actual painting underneath but they crushed the exterior

[00:22:27] London's Metro police confirmed the two were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage the painting had already this is where it's it's whatever the penalty is it's not enough because these children don't fit they don't feel enough fear they're bad children they're not the good children

[00:22:49] there's plenty of good children people aren't it they need to go meet with Bernie go meet with Bernie they need to meet with Bernie this is crazy well it's terrible I mean I don't know I don't know what they what they think they're accomplishing aside from being heard

[00:23:03] there's other ways of being heard without wrecking stuff right go stand on a train track I mean that's not a good idea either I should probably have a meeting with myself before I start throwing out ideas yeah that's not it it's not it's not

[00:23:15] because then you'd stop the train and then that would stop products from going so that's not helpful either I don't know there's something funny do something funny that gets the message out and then people might want to join up with you just a thought update

[00:23:30] remember the blue diamond I told you about it sold for 43.8 million wow it's the flawless vivid blue diamond it's the most flawless it's ever been put up for auction in Geneva it was known as Blue Royale I told you it was set in a ring

[00:23:52] now this I get because you could wear it I mean you'd have to have bodyguards out the ass I guess though yeah yeah I mean somebody could roll me for that in two seconds at 17.6 carats the diamond had an estimated value of 50 million

[00:24:07] prior to the sale the stone made almost 44 million it's a huge amount of money given on what's going on in the world today not really no because there are super rich and then there's the rest of us and the super rich are spending 20 grand on tailored tickets

[00:24:23] no problem and 44 million on a diamond yeah they're not saying who bought it though they keep that shit a secret in a separate sale a Rolex wristwatch worn by Marlon Brando in the movie a apocalypse now sold for more than 5.5 4.5 Swiss million Swiss Franks

[00:24:47] the actor had his engraved signature on the back to avoid having it swapped accidentally during the shooting it sold for 2 million before yeah I could care less I don't even like Rolexes I don't like fancy watches and then my sister goes I bought a watch from

[00:25:05] Shinola in Detroit because I love them and she's like nobody wears watches anymore Kathleen I'm like really everybody gave up on time I know we're just not going to tell time anymore I mean I know it's on your phone but sometimes you have to have your phone off

[00:25:20] don't you want to know what time it is no I guess those are the free souls that I just can't I'm not that loosey-goosey about life I like to know what goddamn time it is nope the good for them though update this is hilarious our shaman

[00:25:56] don't go to prison that's what I would recommend because guess what you're getting bologna and mashed potatoes you're going to like it I would love it he has filed paperwork because he wants to run for congress stop it what? yep no

[00:26:16] the US constitution doesn't prohibit felons from holding federal office but Arizona law prohibits felons from voting until they have completed their sentence that have had their civil rights restored oh my god so does Texas how do I know that because my friend Ron White was a felon

[00:26:32] and he couldn't vote for a long time and then they made it Ron White Day in some small town in Texas and he's like well then you gotta say I'm not a felon anymore if it's my dad right and he got his rights back

[00:26:42] it was a long long time ago it was over a pot he didn't do anything very bad yeah he's gonna run for office yeah he's very handsome without his horns and fur on you can't say you're disavowed that you're all in he's very cute

[00:27:03] he's a good looking man did his wife leave him? I don't think he had a wife he had a wife I thought he lived with his mom in an apartment and somewhere in Arizona no of that I did not make that up

[00:27:20] 35 year old Chansley filed a candidate statement of interest Thursday and the candidate he wants to run is a libertarian in next year's election for Arizona's 8th congressional district seat are you sitting in Arizona like who knows what seat they're in I don't know what seat I'm sitting in

[00:27:37] and I read and I watched the news it's my old joke about Obama when he said I'm gonna need your help I'm gonna need you to email your congressman and senators I'm like well then I'm gonna need you to email me who they are

[00:27:49] I know the senators but I don't know all the congressmen he was sentenced to 41 prison months in prison in November of 2020 he served about 27 of those months before being transferred to a Phoenix halfway house he grew up in Phoenix he's one more of 700 people

[00:28:04] he's one of the first traitors who've been sentenced to the in relation to capital right he was one of the first ones that he acknowledged using a bullhorn to rouse the mob the thing is it's not that you were one of the first ones

[00:28:15] it's that you were so easily identifiable this is because you did not have a lawyer as a father and I'm sorry for you because if you had you'd have known if you're gonna do something this crazy put a hood over yourself and lay low

[00:28:30] don't paint your face red white and blue and then put on he's got horns and I think he had a spear and an American flag well there you go Arizona you wanna get the Q and on shaman he didn't like that term but

[00:28:43] it's not gonna stop me from using it the most google thing is does he have a real tip? no there's something there's something he's had mental problems I swear to God we read that and he admitted to it I mean he's saying he had

[00:28:58] it's not like I'm talking out of school here update we work founder you know I'm obsessed with Adam Newman I'm obsessed with Elizabeth Holmes I'm obsessed with con people truly obsessed he's still worth 1.7 billion because we just talked last week on this show about

[00:29:19] we work filing for bankruptcy this little bunker got away we work founder an ex-CEO Adam Newman has managed to maintain 1.7 billion fortune as his one start up faced a slew of troubles that ended with bankruptcy filing this week when the co-working giant initiated chapter 11 proceedings on Monday

[00:29:41] it had 19 billion in liabilities and 15 billion in assets I'm not good at math but there's a 4 billion dollar difference his ability to sustain a 10 figure net worth can be attributed to the juiced up stock award worth 245 million he received when he was ousted

[00:29:58] as chief in 2019 about reports of his outlandish behavior they had to pay him 245 million to leave and you're the one causing the problems this is what happens when you give money to people that have not been vetted properly everybody wants the next Steve Jobs

[00:30:15] everybody wants the next thing that they're going to be in on this soft bank soft bank whatever it's called they're the ones that really he was also handed 2 million in cash as part of a sweetheart deal exit package

[00:30:27] though he was left with a better reputation following reports of booze soaked up affairs and wads of marijuana found on his private jet trips it goes on and on he's also though he's still um soft bank yeah it's soft bank um those people gave him 432 million dollars

[00:31:30] I'm like how long does it take mom cause my ass is really cold I'd like it to be hot how long does it take to get the ringworm can I beat the clock um he said it's been challenging for me to watch from the sideline since 2019

[00:31:45] as we work has failed to take advantage of a product that is more relevant today than before ever no it's not Adam nobody wants to go to your bullshit offices the children go to Starbucks or a bar we've talked about it before

[00:31:59] there's rumblings at Newman and WeWork could have a type of reunion pshh what kind of idiot would hire this jacksraw back exactly um since he's left WeWork this is why it's an update he's stayed under the radar building a new start up flow

[00:32:16] a different narrative from WeWork's peak when it was valued at 47 billion and seemingly carefree Newman pounded champagne at events as early as 9 a.m. flow is a real estate tech venture that vows to solve inequities in the rental housing market received a $350 million investment

[00:32:35] from venture capitalist or the firm Andresin Horowitz at a one million valuation does he still have people who are still giving him money what does it matter with people he deserves this I hope this Horowitz firm I hope he goes and spends it all on weed

[00:32:56] $350 million just to teach you a lesson he's buying um I do weed or gummy suckers something Josh Blue gave me some of it Josh Blue makes his own he has his own strange brands of pot and comes in packaging he gave me tea because

[00:33:17] you know I know you don't smoke pot a lot ever Josh I'm not against it I just fall asleep he gave me two weed suckers we'll see how that goes yeah maybe I can just monitor myself like that instead of taking well nobody's charging me but

[00:33:33] Josh is a super weed guy so his weed I'm sure is like not like you know junkie so what they're doing is they're buying properties he's on the platform he's repeatedly built up a portfolio of 3,000 units across major metro areas thanks to Newman's ability to acquire

[00:33:53] majority stakes in apartment buildings worth as much as one million dollars he's long invested in real estate including when he's scooted up stylish jigs in Manhattan's Gramercy Park neighborhood combining two units on the top floor to create a 7800 square foot pad he's trying been trying to sell it

[00:34:09] since 2020 he's had to take it off the market twice I think he's asking too much but no onward they go you know he gets to run around that Billy McFarland guy the fire festival guy out of you know he's already reselling stuff like selling tickets to some other

[00:34:29] bullshit fantasy imaginary meanwhile still in jail 6 more years they'll get her out early though you know somebody called somebody because she got money from Clinton and George Schultz all these important people somebody's going to make a call and my over under my Vegas Hodgeboards let's check

[00:34:54] Elizabeth is out in less than four years it'll all be based on fake good behavior okay that's what I guess holy shit they found a girl discovers 100,000 year old mammoth bones in Russian river while fishing with her dad oh wow

[00:35:17] 8 year old girl discovered the bones of a woolly mammoth and a prehistoric bison after a landslide along the banks of a river in western Russia that's really cool Miriam Mirsetova notices a series of strange objects that have been on earth by recent landslide

[00:35:33] by the way what about the Iceland volcano it's crazy do do do do do do do do tick tock tick tock do do do do do do anyone she found a woolly mammoth they were common in the frigid northern area regions of Europe

[00:35:53] in Asia beginning around 700,000 years ago and later in northern America around 100,000 years ago in the region where Miriam found the fossils mammoths likely persisted until about 10,000 years ago when the end of the ice age caused these cold adapted megafauna to lose their habitat and food sources

[00:36:11] human hunting may have accelerated their extinction wow that's pretty cool sad though poor little woolly mammoth I think they'll bring those things back to life just like Jurassic Park they'll get DNA out of some of this stuff and recreate them maybe holy shit they found

[00:36:38] for more than 60 years researchers have been unable to physically see a critically endangered animal known as the one of the most world's most unusual mammals one of Attenborough's that's a guy who was named after Sir David Attenborough okay his long beaked echinida it looks like a wolverine

[00:37:00] or maybe a porcupine or an armadillo kind of one of those types named for fame biologists and naturalists has been found and caught on camera nobody's seen it in 60 years yep they were considered critically endangered the animals haven't been recorded since 1961

[00:37:22] the last time there was evidence of the species' existence was more than a decade ago when they found traces of digging activity in burrows but they didn't see any while a number of animals in the species is unknown the red list states the population likely to be decreasing

[00:37:36] with limited scope for recovery but that's good news then if this little guys are all in a round um go look it up echinida no wait echinida yeah I can't read right everybody knows that moving on to news so many good stories this is like I just don't

[00:38:05] I don't have the house for it I just don't know why people buy these things a rare titanic first class menu is up for auction and it sheds light of life aboard abroad sorry no aboard I got it right a rare first class menu from the titanic

[00:38:25] is expected to fetch up to $86,000 when it goes on sale at an auction of memorabilia associated with the doomed ocean liner heavily water stained with some of the letter partly erased it is likely that this menu ended up in the north atlantic for a time

[00:38:39] when the titanic sank in the early hours of April 15, 1912 British oxen house Henry satata said in the description but where has it been the whole time yeah okay I get it it floated off the boat right the ultimately salvage menu details the dinner the first dinner

[00:38:59] on board the titanic that set sail from Queenstown Belfast and reveals the opulence that the first ships first class passengers would have experienced here's your dinner options this is the night of April 12 oysters great sirloin beef with horseradish cream great desserts including apricot a tart and victoria

[00:39:23] pudding there seems to be no other surviving examples of the first class menu for that specific night the auction house found after consulting museums with titanic collections and speaking to leading memorabilia collectors other items in the auction include a fleeting glimpse into the lives of the 2222

[00:39:41] 2223 passengers that grew only of 706 survived that's it we'll tell you how much that's crazy but what are you going to do with it you're going to frame it and then when people come over hey did you go see in my family room

[00:39:59] I have a menu for the titanic right who cares okay I just don't understand what I mean it should be in a thing speaking of things I don't understand the F1 race in Vegas this weekend tickets are dropping like rocks out of volcano they're plummeting the ticket prices

[00:40:25] are plummeting and it makes me happy because all of my friends that live in Vegas and have to work in Vegas this has been an enormous pain in their ass I don't think these people overstepped I don't think you should be charging $2,000 for tickets the whole thing was

[00:40:41] crazy to me and then I think maybe I'm wrong maybe there's all these Americans that really like I do not have one friend that knows a thing about it I was talking with it about Louis today about it and he was like is that Le Mans

[00:40:55] I go I don't know when I was a child the go kart track was called the Le Mans go kart at Lake of the Ozarks but I don't know I don't know I've seen it like you see it in the summer on TV in France you know okay

[00:41:11] here's the F1 I know it's a big deal in Europe but here no they wrecked the strip they wrecked the Mirage volcano they wrecked the Bellagio fountains they don't give a shit they're spending $500 million and it's going to be cold this weekend

[00:41:27] they didn't plan on that it's supposed to be like 80 degrees for those tires on the pavement I read that somewhere I don't know if that's true it's just what I read yeah so maybe the inaugural formula 1 race isn't going to be the boon that people

[00:41:41] thought it was according to the reports more than 10,000 tickets at their original price still remain unsold may I also add I have a friend I will not mention names who works at a casino in Vegas and they're trying to give away stuck with 120

[00:41:57] high roller tickets nobody wants them nobody cares I would be curious if it was free or I don't know 100 bucks to go but I'm so short I won't be able to see from anywhere all I'm going to hear is noise and I'll be in the bar

[00:42:15] I don't want you on TV 10,000 tickets at their original price remain unsold the race weekend runs between November 16th and 18th but some festivities around the city have already gone some people including ticket brokers are selling race do-cots I don't know what that is

[00:42:35] for far less than face value some reports say ticket have fallen 35 to 50% since they first won on sale last year tickets for the practice run to try to get used to the course for the qualifying races have fallen as much as 60%

[00:42:53] yeah just go watch that and it doesn't start till 10 o'clock at night a do-cott oh maybe I'm reading a foreign site I'm reading travel pulse it's slang well look at us termites learning things do-cots do you have any tell us with do-cots come again

[00:43:15] which I forgot to even talk the gilded age speaking when I did that accent I know I forgot what we're watching segment because I need to go back to that but the gilded age is boring I'm going to stop I will allow you two episodes of filler shit

[00:43:31] but snap snap we got to get some stuff going on in that show yeah I like all the actors but the writers let's go whether it is so called late arriving crowd no because if you're going to Vegas for F1 you made your arrangements nobody just bopping in

[00:43:55] it's not your cause they're trying to rethink if it causes Las Vegas officials to rethink its strategy about luring tourism with big time sports the city now has a football franchise hockey franchise is a process of getting baseball so they don't care the racing isn't a thing no

[00:44:15] there's 10,000 un-seats sold in the grandstands that's a huge amount for an F1 event because we're not in Europe ticket prices will continue to come down there's been a correlation to lodging prices according to a survey by casino.r room rates for this week

[00:44:29] some of the Las Vegas strip hotels are down as much as 58% it's also really difficult to get around because of all their bullshit I just don't I just think 500 million they thought they were going to make 1.3 billion that's what they thought and the culinary workers are thinking about

[00:44:47] going on strike too that'll be fun for everybody can I get a cheeseburger no they all quit what? quack? speaking of Vegas yeah and then I'm going to go back to watching and then I'll go back to news my brain's just a little scattered today

[00:45:09] but that's what makes it show pot after the sphere okay, that they get Vegas I was supposed to say this speaking of Vegas if you haven't seen it it looks like a big ball and then it changes colors and stuff and it has this emoji where it sleeps

[00:45:29] and that's what I wanted to be my leader and I want to do whatever it says and then last week it had a cat a giant cat following a laser beam and I'm like oh well the sphere ain't going so well no, it's lost 100 million dollars

[00:45:45] in the CFO quit in the first quarter of operation no he quit he quit, I'd quit too oh my god this sphere lost a heart million even with that the CEO James Dolan is optimistic that the new Las Vegas entertainment venue

[00:46:06] will be profitable as the venue presses ahead with more entertainers wanting to play there more films in production and more spheres to be built worldwide we're building them everywhere spheres are going everywhere he said he hinted the ticket price may go up

[00:46:24] but the Las Vegas was the ideal location to open the first sphere because it's constantly changing tourist market here's the problem though, this sphere is not on the strip it's behind the Venetian you have to make an extra concerted effort they should have bought the stratosphere

[00:46:40] what's that cost? a dollar? the trump tower that's not really on the strip that's pushed back though but the stratosphere buy circus circus what's that cost? $84? it's horrible buy circus, put the sphere on the strip well circus circus needs to get its shit together just saying

[00:47:04] put that in the schnotes it's generated 7.8 million it's lost 98.4 that was even with the debut performance by U2 they said every performance has been sold out and they've added 11 shows but the prices drop because my brother was going to go there and take his kids

[00:47:27] I'm like go online if you just want to get in there's tickets less than 200 bucks what does it matter where you sit? because all you're doing is looking around U2 looks like tiny little ants that's why I would never want to see somebody I really liked there

[00:47:41] because the rest of it is so distracting in a cool way I don't know I think you get sick get dizzy well I don't know they're putting them everywhere this is what I love to see additionally the company lost its chief financial officer as Gutam Orangy has resigned

[00:48:03] according to the securities and exchange commission filing ROM's exit was not the result of any disagreement with the company's independent auditors or any member of the management team or any matter of accounting principles or practices financial statements what was the result of? he quit

[00:48:21] after about yelling and screaming from CEO James Dolan well you're the CFO you're the money person the CEO Jimmy Dolan comes in and yells at you and you went fuck I quit he'd only had the job for 11 months of course the guy's yelling and screaming we lost $100 million

[00:48:43] and you're in charge of the money he's gonna be replaced by Greg Bruner you have fun with that Greg who do you think what bands are gonna go in there? who it's crazy I mean who do we... who the Rolling Stones when you're thinking about booking things

[00:49:01] Google how many seats the sphere has for me okay there are only so many performers that can sell that can sell shit tons of tickets 18,000 18,000 that's an arena so you have to go for the arena axe all seats have high speed internet access

[00:49:19] all seats have high speed internet access just in case you want to know bring your laptop and get some work done in case you too is boring you in case Bono's combing his hair and looking at himself in the mirror too much

[00:49:31] oh well let me just get on you get online and see if there's anything interesting for the podcast 18,000 I mean those are arena axe so think of who comes to your local arenas those artists but can they do it night after night after night no it's crazy

[00:49:51] too many seats everybody knows that these are facts these are facts yeah I mean there's guns and roses they can sell it in an arena but can they do it a bunch right, oh you know maybe who could maybe Metallica they sold out the arena in St. Louis

[00:50:15] well the Edward Jones dome even bigger I don't know I think it's too many seats alright what do I want to read to you next well we'll speak speaking of performers there's a quick one Michael Jackson's leather jacket from his first Pepsi commercial sold in an auction for $250,000

[00:50:39] what well at least that's something you could wear I mean your Titanic menu what are you going to take it to a bar and show people hey do you want to see the Titanic menu it's a black and white leather jacket sported for the ad in 1984

[00:50:53] it was among 200 pieces of music memorabilia that sold in London at the prop store auction last week that's cool would you spend $250,000 on it though no this story makes me laugh and once again it goes to my home state of Missouri being well they're being bad

[00:51:17] but I understand why they're being bad so there was a Missouri school teacher she's one of the children she's smoking hot and they found that she was on only fans doing porn but she's a great school teacher but you know what they don't pay these people any money

[00:51:37] you don't pay the teachers any money and then you expect them to live on $47,000 a year and guess what she's smoking hot she decided to do it and now they fired her which is totally because the story blew up now she's making like a million

[00:51:53] on the porn site an English teacher and varsity cheerleading coach of St. Clair High School but still they don't pay them shit so there's a lot of pornography on the website on the website only fans marketing the second teacher

[00:52:07] at the school to admit as much in the past month so they're in their teacher's lounge going just get on do some porn did we get a raise? who cares I have a half a million people paying I don't ever need any Melissa Gayther

[00:52:23] 31 said in an interview with the St. Louis Postage Badge and she was put on leave Friday by the school district Friday evening and she expects to be fired after going public she said she joined the directives subscribers website in May to supplement her teaching salary

[00:52:37] and help pay back more than $125,000 in student loans now see if people would have allowed Papa Joe Biden to give the children their loans erased maybe this lady wouldn't have had to turn to a life of porn teaching does not financially support a person Melissa said, Megan said

[00:52:54] it really was hard to stretch those paychecks during the summer that's why I did it her total pay last year including a stipend for coaching, cheerleading was $47,500 that's below poverty what are we doing? our teachers should be paying zillion dollars

[00:53:10] I know everybody says that but they really should I mean yeah just for me to deal with other people's kids as teenagers oh my god her former co-worker Brianna Copage was put on leave and eventually resigned early this month after district

[00:53:26] she was alerted to her only fans account since then her success on the site has skyrocketed her subscription rate has increased more than 5% and her story has been picked up by news outlets across the world same school two girls, yeah they're real cute this lady Melissa

[00:53:42] said she de- deactivated her own fans only account which had about 1500 subscribers after Copage's account was discovered by the district she said she was making 3 to 5 grand a month on the site but she never showed her face in effort to remain anonymous it's also like every porn fantasy

[00:54:00] the hot teacher is the porn lady well these two are wow they're not showing their faces no they're showing everything else she didn't think it would ruin her entire it shouldn't who cares well I don't know I'm not a parent the district district superintendent Kyle Cruz

[00:54:26] said that the district does not have a statement to issue at this time and he did not respond to a statement he had to delete his only fans account performers on only fans charge anywhere from 3 to 75 dollars a month for monthly subscription wow

[00:54:44] neither one of them knew the other one was on the site until Megan made an off-handed comment at teachers night at Bush Stadium hey come see the Cardinals that led to more of a discussion between the two of them they realized that

[00:55:02] Megan has a master's degree from Missouri Baptist University in Arizona State University fourth year of teaching American and British literature at St. Clair which has about 750, let her teach she's smart we want to go through every teacher's hobbies and figure out what they're doing on weekends

[00:55:18] I don't think we want to do that let them be she said she still loves teaching and she initially deleted her only fan account when Copage's account was discovered because she didn't want to risk the same thing happening to her wow

[00:55:32] she said her career at St. Clair is over regardless of what I do I legitimately have love in my heart for each one of my students of course well you can be both teachers are probably freaking out because two teachers

[00:55:46] from the same school in less than a month have been caught so how many others wow my friend Chris Walth he's a teacher, Chris are you on only fans Chris he teaches high school English yeah wow here's the sad story but it's kind of no it's not funny

[00:56:06] but it's one of those life stories a homeowner planned to throw away a painting hanging in their kitchen it turned out to be a 13th century masterpiece worth 25 million dollars what French lady the painting by Florentine master Sina Bu was found hanging in a kitchen in provincial France

[00:56:28] the artwork has been declared a French national treasure wow yeah hold on I'm going to read this version of it it's over 700 years old it was above her stove it was sold to the Louvre for 26 million she died two days later oh

[00:56:46] a rare Renaissance painting from the 13th century that was found hanging above a French woman's stove will find its new home at the Louvre in Paris just two days after the panel was auctioned off for 26.8 million in a major bidding war

[00:57:03] making the elderly woman a millionaire she died and her estate was split between her three heirs as reported by ArtNet News this painting was completed in 1280 wow yeah the three year old poplar wood panel has been one of the eight paintings has been one of eight paintings

[00:57:23] for an altarpiece that depicted the passion of Christ the Louvre announced that it had acquired it along with another national treasure blah blah blah I mean you met your whole life you've been looking at it it's crazy and then you wonder did she have a nice life

[00:57:39] you know was she happy or did she need the money and didn't know that she was looking right at it you know she was going to throw it out she was tired of looking at it they don't say how old she was nobody bothers to report that stuff

[00:57:54] here's my nightmare this is why I don't go on cruises nope passengers left screaming and crying after cruise ship encounters 30 foot waves I'm 5 foot tall that's six of me I'm that's some wicked crazy math I just did there quack math bad weather can easily ruin

[00:58:24] an otherwise lovely vacation but severe weather can quickly turn them into a relaxing trip you've been dreaming about into a complete nightmare this is what I do not understand we have weather radar you had to have known it wasn't one road wave where you can go well

[00:58:42] couldn't be picked up couldn't be detected this is a storm because they did it on the cruise ship I was on I had the map and they believe me they turned that weather map off cause I was watching it cause it was getting a little weird

[00:58:58] yeah it was spaghettification of god knows what and I remember telling Lewis I said do look at the TV that's what we're sailing into this is ridiculous I don't know why they do it somebody who knows about cruise ships somebody told me they have to depart the port

[00:59:18] or the cruise doesn't count yeah and you gotta be gone for a certain amount of time but that's fine let's just go in circles where we're at if that's what this is all about don't drive me into the storm passengers on a cruise ship in the UK faced

[00:59:32] worse weather case scenario when their ship was battered around in the ocean by 30 foot waves after seeing the footage I can only imagine how terrifying this must have been to experience onboard the footage was shared to the Daily Mail's official tic-tac account and it showed the waves

[00:59:48] showing what the waves look like from someone who was on the ship at the time while many modern cruise ships are able to withstand pretty bad weather in intense ways in this quick case the situation became far too serious for the cruise to continue its journey

[01:00:00] well you went far enough right it was traveling back from a trip to the Canary Islands on a two-week cruise out of Portsmouth in the United Kingdom when it ran into the waves while in the Bay of Biscay after the captain found out that the Spanish ports

[01:00:16] he'd hoped to dock in would be closed because of bad weather he decided to turn back early to avoid it but it was already too late I'm firing him you're not my captain anymore you can't read the radar right oh my god

[01:00:36] the waves were so powerful that the ship's propulsion safety system activated jerking the ship to a stop in the ocean one passenger said the ship stayed in place for about 15 hours at that point the passengers were only nine days into their cruise but it became

[01:00:54] but it came to an end after the incident nine days in we still gotta keep going you can't get off oh it's an awful end to the passengers vacation I wouldn't blame them if they never wanted to on a cruise ship again yeah that's

[01:01:12] this is why I won't go that's crazy I mean if you ever see me on one again I'd been kidnapped call my parents I don't Pizza Hut how gross is this I like Pizza Hut I'm not making it up they're selling snake pizza in Hong Kong

[01:01:39] there's a picture of it and it looks like calamari it's like little rings but it's snake now full disclosure I've eaten rattlesnake that's where I did it in Texas because I had to go for ESPN2 to cover a rattlesnake roundup and they fried it

[01:01:59] I didn't want to eat it but I had to for the TV part I had to it was fine tasted like rubbery chicken more rubber than rubber chicken more rubbery than chicken now well that's how they fried it why not just make it a funnel cake

[01:02:17] and put powdered sugar on it I mean maybe people know how to cook it better but American company Pizza Hut is teamed up with Century Old Hong Kong a Century Old Hong Kong restaurant to put a modern spin on a traditional dish

[01:02:31] and more simply snake on a pizza the new offering combines shredded snake meat black mushrooms and Chinese dried ham all indispensable ingredients of an authentic snake stew and part of Hong Kong's franchise marketing plot to generate a buzz online

[01:02:51] we might generate a buzz but it doesn't mean I'm coming I'm talking about it but I don't want it is there still pizza sauce? yeah it looks like there's pizza sauce according to what I'm looking at but it also looks like they have Oreo cookies on the outside

[01:03:05] it's really strange I don't know what those are but they look like Oreos according to a saying in the local Cantonese dialect the best time to eat snake is when the autumn wind begins to blow when they've fattened up to prepare for hibernation

[01:03:23] many believe that snake meat has medicinal properties improving skin conditions and warming up the body a rich culinary culture based on snakes is common across other parts of Southeast Asia too such as Vietnam and Thailand where the snakes are usually farmed for consumption now I have watched Survivor

[01:03:41] back in the day when Survivor was a new show and when people get desperate they get a snake and they get really happy and they eat the snake because it's meat but I haven't been that desperate in my own house no the 9 inch pizza which comes

[01:03:59] with abalone sauce instead of conventional tomato base no it's not it's on sale until November 22 CNN has sampled the pizza and found the texture of the snake similar to dry chicken Rachel Wong a native of Hong Kong is very excited about the new menu item

[01:04:22] the texture is a bit like chicken and tastes like fish and other kinds of seafood I love having it as a high protein meal during the winter high protein gross but crust yeah ummm that's all on that one yeah

[01:04:44] do you love TJ Maxx and do you love Marshalls? I do you don't love Marshalls? I love both my mom loves them but I can't go in there with her it takes her too long just been an hour going through the underwear bin

[01:04:58] I'm like tiktok mom we gotta get out of here I don't want to watch you buy underwear do that on your own accord when you take a little trip up here by yourself I don't wanna... do you think these would work? I don't know mom you're 80 years old

[01:05:10] you should know what underwear you wear by now bad news for frugal bargain hunters TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores are closed and Marshalls are closing some stores uh-oh and then they unfortunately a lot of these stores aren't enough to save them they announced they're closing many locations

[01:05:28] is your city on the list? I'm hoping to get one right I'll switch out Hobby Lobby for TJ Maxx any day they're gonna be closing in New York and Chicago the parent company is shuttering stores in Brooklyn, the Bronx and Chicago while they reassess real estate strategy

[01:05:44] looks like no one is safe from insanely high real estate costs not even our favorite frugal focus stores why don't they go back into the defunct malls and pick a ball why not? here's the thing with TJ Maxx and Marshalls

[01:05:58] you can't just buy it online because you don't know what's there so it's not like saying Nordstrom I can just go online or Macy's go online I don't know what's going on at Macy's but the one by my house I had to cut through it

[01:06:10] to get to the Apple store and I mean it really looked looted like it looked like was there an incident and I'm like googling incident at the mall and there's people standing behind a counter not many not many workers but they do not look inspired

[01:06:26] to pick anything up no just leave that shit right there but I feel like that about home goods sometimes too home goods especially around Christmas time there's well the home goods part where you're just like wow somebody picked up every single pillow and went nope fuck it

[01:06:44] and just threw it on the ground and like nobody garbage yeah and they have good stuff at home goods I think they're trying to consolidate we don't know if these employees are going to be shifted on the occasions Chicago it's the downtown one I did not know

[01:07:02] that their parent company they own winners Canada it's a Canadian deal TK Max that's the UK home sense and home goods they own all that yeah so that's sad because I don't think I don't know it's just fun especially on the road if I'm bored

[01:07:26] that doesn't happen anymore because I don't work in clubs anymore but when I was in a club for a week if you're bored nothing like a little trip down to TK Max a bright new day you aint hey I got new socks and underwear

[01:07:40] I don't know why I find this to be so funny four men charged in the theft of satirical golden toilet titled America at Winston Churchill's birthplace it's an 18 carat gold toilet titled America four men have been charged over the theft and it's from the sprawling English mansion

[01:08:06] where British war time leader Winston Churchill was born it was the it was the work of Italian conceptual artist Morzio Catalan four men were charged at the theft from Blean Hem Palace the sprawling English country mansion of Winston Churchill where he was born the toilet valued at

[01:08:28] 4.8 million pounds which is 5.95 million dollars was an artwork titled America and was intended as pointed at political satire about the excessive wealth by Italian conceptual artist Morzio Catalan it was part of an art installation at the palace a few days before it vanished overnight in September of 2019

[01:08:50] the crown prosecution services said Monday it is authorized criminal charges for four men ages 35 to 39 over the theft they were accused of the burglary and conspired to they were accused of burglary and conspiracy to transfer criminal property seven people have been arrested over the highest but no charges

[01:09:08] have been brought till Monday four years later after the toilet was stolen and they still never have found the toilet well how do we know they stole it if they don't have it it was fully functioning prior to the theft you could sit and go on the

[01:09:22] golden toilet it was fully functioning I sat on an all china toilet in Saddam Hussein's palace when I went to Iraq because we got to stay in his palace but there was nothing palatial about it it was all like barracks for army people the higher ups like it

[01:09:36] and I was with the head of the joint chief of staff and all his people it was an empty palace minus bunk beds really in a table to eat at except Saddam's china toilet it was very weird and I would not recommend a china toilet it's very cold

[01:09:54] thanks if you got your eye on one at Lowe's don't buy it because your ass is going to be freezing will we ever see the toilet again personally I wonder if it's in the shape of a toilet to be perfectly honest

[01:10:10] if you have a large amount of gold I think it seems likely someone has already managed to dispose of it one way or another the four suspects will appear at the Oxford magistrates court on November 28 I don't know how they've decided these people did it

[01:10:20] the article didn't explain it I'll do a deep dive as soon as their trial starts thank you it's probably already melted down but how do we know that they stole it um I don't know this makes me laugh so one time I was checking in

[01:10:40] a weekend golf benefit for cystic fibrosis with Lewis and it was somewhere in Arizona and I got in late and they have little cabanas you stay you have to go outside to get to your little tiny house and uh the guy goes uh and I'm not desert savvy

[01:11:00] I don't know anything about it it's not my thing I get a headache the minute I get there it's that my thing and sunburn I don't need more skin cancers I'm good I'm full up on all that anyway the foot guy

[01:11:14] goes what are you going to room alone I'm like I looked around I'm like well I was gonna go to the bar first you never know I don't know um yeah I'm going to room alone he goes be careful of the avalinas

[01:11:26] and I said why would I be afraid of my own flip-flops hahahahahaha I thought he was and he was like the avalinas I go what's a avalina every time I go to the desert I find they warn me about something else fucked up that's out there they're tiny

[01:11:44] but they're pig-like creatures and they run in gangs and they'll attack the shit out of your ankles I mean and they have like little tusker I don't know fangs or whatever you want to call them um pig-like avalina also known as also known as musk hogs

[01:12:02] have been they've been destroying a golf course in Arizona they've been ratchets they ravaging the turf of seven canyons golf club in search of food but and that this was also when I was told when I was going to golf

[01:12:14] don't go by certain plants because the plants attack you they're like they have things that they shoot out into your leg like only in the desert where you go hey if you walk by that plant FYI you could hit it might shoot you with a dart the plant

[01:12:26] um the destruction is revealed when the golf course when the sun comes up in the morning sprawling mounds of ravaged turf turf blot the 7000 yard course like open wound soil and grass sown in all directions across otherwise pristine fairways the perpetrators avalina a pig-like creature

[01:12:46] with raking canine teeth whose capacity for chaos in the town of Sedona has seen them become a viral sensation wow I love it they're kind of cute like you kind of would want one yeah but I mean I know when you come upon them

[01:13:04] and see them it's like the Tasmanian devil seven canyons general manager said there's turf flying all over the place there's grunting, there's fighting for rather small creatures they could do a lot of damage they can they can till the turf with their teeth disturbing when you see it

[01:13:22] and a golf course green for the record cost a million dollars usually about a million bucks so if it's all ruined pig-like but not pigs avalina also known as mussels are members of the peccary family a mammal species that had originated in South America

[01:13:38] before venturing north into Arizona and other southwestern states of the United States with a white collar ring there's a picture of what he's kind of cute I shouldn't say that probably because people are not cute they're destructive with a white collar ringing gray black fur avalina typically grow

[01:13:58] to three to four feet long and 19 inches tall they're only this tall that's tiny they're like mini pigs that's what I thought thankfully when I went to my room at night because they're super active at night that's why the guy was warning me

[01:14:12] and I'm like you know I don't like the desert to begin with and now you're telling me there's tiny attack pigs and all the other old men and women they'll be eating my ankles they will eat garbage too they'll eat just about anything they look

[01:14:26] at the golf courses it presents an irresistible all you can drink in buffet for a species looking to fatten up for the winter because there's earthworms wriggling out of the grass so they want the earthworms wow there's 25 to 35 in a herd of them oh my god

[01:14:46] They can churn up expanses of turf in search of a midnight snack. You gotta go Google the picture. If you're not from the Southwestern part of the United States, you gotta go see. The club is gonna spend between $150,000 and $300,000 in labor costs by the time the

[01:15:03] Avalinas back away with a further 50 to 75 grads spent on additional seed, turf growth and blankets. There's gotta be a way to keep them out. There has been a consolation, viral fame. Yeah, he's posted a bunch of videos.

[01:15:21] We'll put it in the schnotes where you can go look at him. Oh my God. One of the videos he posted had 1.4 million views. Three weeks later, it's at 32 million views. It's a mere 30 second clip of the Avalinas dose of destruction.

[01:15:37] Did you have a research assistant help you with this story? No. Oh well, I did. I didn't find this on my own. That was my research assistant, Dax, who when he's not researching things for me for the pubcast,

[01:15:50] he's the drummer in Cheap Trick which is a job that actually matters versus being my research assistant but I like that there's important people out there sending me articles. So before we go, what are we watching? The Gilded Age, blah blah.

[01:16:06] But I watched Twin Flame or Twin Flames Flames. I don't remember what. It's a three-parter on Netflix. I think it was on Netflix. It's an online dating thing. It's supposed to teach you how to find the love of your life.

[01:16:20] The guy and the girl are so clearly full of shit. I don't understand how people would give them a lot of money. Some of the classes in general, if you do them all, it's like eight grand. It's not free. He's some moron up in Michigan.

[01:16:37] Go read his resume. He's just a con man. And then some of them were having sex changes because he said so. But here's the weird thing. In journalism, I was taught a good story has to have a beginning, middle and an end. This has no end.

[01:16:52] He didn't get busted. She's not been busted. The wife or girlfriend who's in on it, I don't know what her... Twin Flame, hello. Twin... God, you're Twin Flame. Jesus Christ. People, it's just not that hard. Find somebody in your neighborhood and marry him. I mean, I...

[01:17:08] I was around people go, oh, you know, you're the love of my life. There's a billion Chinese people you haven't met. How do you know that for sure? You don't. You're just good enough. You're fine. You're here. That's important. You don't live in Beijing. That would be hard.

[01:17:22] I mean, you know, and all these people aren't stupid. They're not the people that got suckered in. They were just hopeful and all that. But here's why I wanted to happen. At one point he turns from an online thing to a church. But he says it.

[01:17:38] Let's be a church because you don't get taxed. Can we get the IRS? That's how we bust these people. Let's get the IRS, show them this movie, this three-parter on Netflix. I didn't think it was worthy of Netflix because there's no...

[01:17:53] You're just showing me a cult, what I would call a cult. You want to call it online classes that the things completely... You have to stop contact with your family. That's why it's kind of a cult. You're not allowed to speak to anyone.

[01:18:05] You're passed, blah, blah, blah, blah, all the same shit. A lot of young people are falling... Well, not just young. I mean, there's old people in there too. I don't know. I was like mad that I watched it. I'm like, okay, this was stupid.

[01:18:19] It could have been an hour instead of three parts. It's way too long and there's no ending. He's still doing it in Michigan. People are still signing up. And my little sleeper movie I told you about. Niaad picking up a lot of steam.

[01:18:42] Everybody loves it and that bending is so good at playing that lady. And that bending really... I don't know if I'd be willing to do that when I'm 60, like getting a swim and suit because she looks great, but she looks 60. She's a very good actor.

[01:18:59] I wouldn't be asked to do anything like that. Thank God. Speaking of actors, speaking of actors before we do our quotes. This is a little plug from my good friend, Lewis Black. Did you guys see the movie Inside Out? The Pixar animation movie? I watched it on plane.

[01:19:15] Okay, here's the thing. I don't like to go... I've only been invited to maybe, I don't know, probably like five movie premieres. I have the doubt in my life and I don't want to go. I don't like red carpets. I don't like the whole thing.

[01:19:34] I don't like anything to do with it. But Lewis was like, please go with me to this premiere. I don't want to go. I don't have anybody to go with. A Pixar premiere. A Pixar premiere of the first Inside Out because a lot of people may not know

[01:19:45] that my little friend Lewis Black is the voice of anger. The red little character in the movie if you've seen it. So we went to the premiere and I'm like, okay, I'll go. Well, they had a purple carpet instead of red. And it was mostly for kids,

[01:20:03] except at the very end of the purple carpet, I saw a bar. And it was like 100 degrees out and there was this little child. He was this fat little Hispanic kid and he saw Lewis coming. I've never seen a child lose it like that.

[01:20:21] Like his head was, he's like, anger, anger. And he knew Lewis' name. He's like, Mr. Black, Mr. Black. Even Lewis was like, holy shit, what am I supposed to do with that? You're supposed to go over there, Lou. That's your biggest fan ever, Lewis, get on over there.

[01:20:36] So I went with him for a while on the purple carpet because it's good if you have somebody to help you because then if it gets too crazy, you can go, hey, you gotta come with me. And he had a publicist or whatever, but it was so hot.

[01:20:49] It was like 102 degrees in LA and I'm like, hey dude, you're on your own, I'm going with a bar. And there's no lying at the bar because it's mostly parents with their kids. Right, it was great. So it was an outdoor bar all set up.

[01:21:02] Then we went in and watched the movie and then we went to some party afterwards, I don't know. But it was because it was a, this is, yeah, I can catch it. I bought this. He sent that to you. Did he send it to me? Yeah. Well, okay.

[01:21:15] It's for ages three and up. It was perfect. It's Lewis' little anger person. It's from the first one. I think I have another one too because I was gonna sell one of these bags. Yeah. Hey, Lewis signs for my office. Yeah, Lewis, let's see, try me,

[01:21:31] let's see if it still works. It's been here so long, I don't know. It may need a battery. I think it needs a battery, let me see. Yeah, he doesn't talk. But you can have Lewis' voice forever. Anyway, inside out two.

[01:21:46] He couldn't say it because of the strike. It's premiering this summer. Nice. June, the first one was in 2015. God, it was that long ago. And sadness, Phyllis Smith, the lady who does sadness, she's from St. Louis. So I'm very, very, Mindy Kaling does discuss.

[01:22:02] Fear is Bill Hader and anger, Lewis Black. That's gonna be fun. Yeah, he's excited. I don't know if he's going this time to the premiere of the second one. The sequel was announced in February 2022 at Disney's Expo. It's gonna be in theaters on June 14th, 2024,

[01:22:22] almost nine years after the first film. Wow. Yeah, he records stuff over time. Like he'll go in and record stuff and then there'll be a big gap and then he'll do it again. Animation takes forever. So if you like animation and you go see one,

[01:22:36] just know that a lot of people were really, I would not have the patience for any of that. So my recommendations is go watch Niaid. I would skip Twin Flame or Flames. Lou made it through 10 minutes, but he passed it on to me.

[01:22:51] He goes, you'll probably like this. I can't because it's a con man cult thing. And I'm like, yeah, but I don't like it. If you just tell me, oh, they switched to a church and there's, where's all the fucking money?

[01:23:03] Let's get the IRS going here and bust these people because you know he's just spending it. He's not reporting half of it, I bet. That's my guesses. I'm not saying I know that to be true. I'm saying I'm figuring it's true. That's right.

[01:23:18] Before we get out of here, termites, the new holiday long sleeve shirt. They're- They're white, they're gray. They're gray. They're not white. They're light gray, but it's a speckled gray if you will. Athletic gray. We sold a ton. I think they're out of larges, but I don't know.

[01:23:39] Maybe there's two larges and then there's smalls, mediums and axels left. No, I'm two X and three X. Oh, I'm two X and three X, I forget about that. I don't have any to show you because they're all went straight to the thing.

[01:23:50] I am gonna get one though. I'll show it to you. They're real fun. They're fun, yeah. And then DVDs and CDs will be on Thanksgiving weekend. Right, CDs and DVDs. They're all gonna be on the website. They are getting out of this house. I can't. There's a lot.

[01:24:04] And then they keep coming as my siblings move. They're like, hey, why was I holding this? I'm like, cause I didn't have a house. That's why you were holding those. Well, I'm sending them back. Okay. We're gonna get two kings, two new kings.

[01:24:18] I will be telling you who those are next week and we're not retiring anybody, but some people are gonna take a back seat when they don't have anything going on. They're not retired. Bob was concerned, my friend Bob was concerned that I was retiring. No, never.

[01:24:32] No, she's not retired. And then here's where I'll be going. This week, two shows at the villages. And I may or may not have a secret hookup at Gatorland. I'm so excited. Then the last shows of this year, Eugene, Portland, Seattle.

[01:24:55] Yeah, I like going out West and I like it in the winter cause it's all very spooky, spooky. Then January 12th and 13th, Wichita, Tulsa, then Santa Rosa, Wheatland, Santa Rosa I think is sold out and Wheatland probably those are the make updates

[01:25:12] from when I had to go home for my dad. Then San Luis Obispo, Monterey, Birmingham, Alabama. Delicious. Atlanta, love it. Scottsdale, fun talking stick casino. So fun. This place is so great. Just great. They need one like that in Nashville. Chattanooga, always fun. Chattanooga's on the rise.

[01:25:37] Nashville's already risen. Though when all my old friends complain about the traffic in Nashville, I'm like, move to Chattanooga. That's what Nashville used to be. It's starting out strong. It's adorable. Lots of children are there. The children are making it fun. You're in the mountains. It's beautiful.

[01:25:51] It's prettier than Nashville. It's really nice. Nashville's exploding. Yeah. Huntsville on the upswing, great downtown. Two shows in Detroit, Royal Oak, March 1st and 2nd, Dayton, Ohio. Indian, Dayton's where my friend is. Yeah. Is it Indy? Butler, yeah. Butler? Yeah, that's where my little friend is.

[01:26:18] The president of the university. I'm gonna write him a letter and see if I can attend when I retire. I'm gonna go back to college. I'll be a student. Well, I see these kids like, you know, and they just seem to be having so much fun

[01:26:30] and they just walk around and their parents are paying for it. My parents didn't pay for college so I don't know what it's like to live that life. James Denko. James Denko? Yeah, he's the president. I couldn't believe that a president

[01:26:40] wanted to meet me at a president of university. I'm like, you wouldn't even have let me in here if I applied. There's no way you would've, Eddie should not have. I'm not blaming him for that. Anyway, moving on. San Antonio, I love San Antonio. Austin, so fun.

[01:26:53] I'll go get to see my friend Ron if he's not back out on the road in his un-retirement. Yeah, I don't know. Cincinnati, I know where my favorite bar is there. Tarrytown, Wilmington, Thousand Oaks. Fun. And there's not a Thousand Oaks there, I've counted. Nope. Nope, there's about 408.

[01:27:15] Matra stores too. A lot of mattress stores. I don't know what's going on out there but there's a lot of sleepy, sexy people out in Thousand Oaks. It's all you guys are doing is laying around taking naps or getting at it. You're gonna make your dressing,

[01:27:29] people wanna know if you're doing a video. If I'm gonna make the dressing, it's not gonna be for Thanksgiving because no, I'm driving and no, I don't have time cause I have to go do the villages and then I have to turn around and go to

[01:27:42] wherever I'm going to. Oh, well that's Thanksgiving. I don't have time. I won't be home enough. Thanksgiving is next week. Thanksgiving is next week. I know, I don't have it all sorted out in my head. I said on the family thread, I'm bringing sale bin liquor.

[01:27:58] You know how you go in the liquor store? There's always that one thing at the top and it's just random mini bottles. That's what I'm gonna bring. I'm gonna bring a bucket of random mini bottles of whiskey you've never heard of. That's what I'm bringing. Yeah, happy Thanksgiving.

[01:28:13] No, I'm gonna make it definitely though at some point and I have to make cookies for my dad. I promised I would and I haven't done that yet either cause I haven't been home. I've been on the road. Yes, ridiculous amounts of time on the road.

[01:28:27] All fun, all good. Baby cat's disgusted with me and she should be. But this time I'm home for at least three days, four days. And then my friend who feeds her and stuff, she likes Aubrey a lot. Yeah, she's a good second place. Yeah, so.

[01:28:46] We'll have fun at Rockstar. I will report back about the Dolly movie, the Rockstar Stevie's in it. Welcome, Stevie. I saw a clip with Stevie's in it. Welcome. That's what I like to say to the cats when they all walk in the house. Welcome.

[01:29:02] Let's get this party started. Yeah. I need more human friends. Yeah, I probably need more human friends. I'm not home long enough. My friends are all over 75 years old and they're at the golf course. And they start drinking at four.

[01:29:18] If I go up to the bar at four, all my friends are there. They're all gone by six. So if I want, yeah, I'm fine with that schedule. Oh, I forgot to read the quotes and we're out of here. Dead by seven. Yep. Dolly Parton.

[01:29:30] I'm comfortable in my own skin no matter how far it's stretched. Reflecting on her own distinctive look in the New York times. Add a quote from Tay-Tay. These are, I'm just opening into random pages. I'm intimidated by the fear of being average. Well, you're now a natural disaster.

[01:29:56] You've gone to the level of an earthquake or a hurricane or tsunami. Congratulations, you've done it. Now your job is to maintain that. But you can never be average again after what you've accomplished and you're set to go. Now you should quit. Go do something else, have fun.
