Episode 162: Tailgating In Chiefs Kingdom, McDonald’s Launches CosMc’s, & The Art of the Irish Goodbye

[00:00:01] 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. Tarmitos! Episode 162, that's a lot.

[00:00:29] And in our tour of eggnogs, today, this is my Evan Williams backup, which needs to be stirred a little bit. I don't have anything to do that with, but that's... Oh, I have my marker, that's fine.

[00:00:39] Because I have one of those big giant... What? There's nutmeg on top, but it doesn't sink. I know, but I bang a lot of stuff with this wand, I don't want to do it with the wand.

[00:00:50] Today on our eggnog tour, Tarmites, we're going to try Screwball Peanut Butter Whiskey Eggnog. This is... A lot of people like the Screwball. My friend Lorene loves the Screwball Peanut Butter Whiskey. It's a little too sweet for me, but for an eggnog, maybe. Here we go.

[00:01:07] Wow, that's got a lot more kick. I like it a lot. But for basic eggnog, this is your normal amount of kick, I would stick with the Evan Williams. And your beer back. This is like a treat, maybe with an ice cube.

[00:01:32] There's a lot going on. The whiskey at the end, my God. Yeah, a shot of that. Wow. But it's really good. I would recommend buying it. And the Evan Williams is available everywhere, but people are saying it's hard to find.

[00:01:46] So good for the Tarmites that have found it. So many things! What a great... Well first of all, a Tarmite sent me this and it made me laugh. Maybe I'll go. He's hanging up his boots for the last time. After 23 years in the Missouri National Guard, Joey's retiring.

[00:02:03] Please join us Saturday, January 26th at 5pm at the American Legion Post 283. You know the beer will be good. We have rented the hall for 5-8. There'll be a ceremony.

[00:02:15] But the guy on the back wrote, I understand that your lifelong dream and goals don't likely include visiting the American Legion Post 283 in Imperial, Missouri. Well you never know! But if you're still in St. Louis after noon, you're welcome to attend.

[00:02:29] I went to his retirement party and he sent me one of his patches. Which I wore my patches, I put them on a jacket to wear on the special on Amazon. From all the Iraq, USO, and all Afghanistan stuff.

[00:02:40] Oh he noticed the patch on the special! Good job! So Joey, you never know. Maybe I'll send a present. Maybe I'll show up. It's something about... You can stay for... There's going to be karaoke afterwards and drinks.

[00:02:56] There's a bartender available. It doesn't say if I have to bring my own beer. It's not a problem. He's never heard you sing. I do prefer draft. I'll sing Landslide. Welcome! Maybe I'll do that to welcome everybody to Joey's retirement party.

[00:03:10] Good job being in the Missouri National Guard! Yes, I met a lot of them over there overseas. One time in Afghanistan, they were like, who here is from Missouri? And I was like, I am but you never know if that's going to be good or bad.

[00:03:23] And he's like, oh well we have the Missouri... And I used to do jokes about it in my head. But the Missouri National Guard had its own thing and they were teaching the Afghanis how to farm corn.

[00:03:32] And I'm like, well yeah that's good but if I'm a farmer over there, I'm going to guess my heroin is going to make more than corn. Yeah. My fields of heroin. We're reaching here. Yeah, but it was amazing to see how many of them were over there.

[00:03:49] And what are we trying since we're in Kansas City? We're going to try Guy's potato chips. Yes, sour cream and onion. This is from Overland Park, Kansas, which is technically Kansas City, which is half Missouri, half Kansas.

[00:04:04] It's hard to explain. I can't explain it all. Go look at it on a map. Mmm. Those are great. Mm-hmm. Nothing's better than Lay's. Nothing's better than Lay's. But this is a very close second if not a tie. Oh wow.

[00:04:23] Well, it's sour cream and onion and they did it right. This is salt and vinegar which is my favorite. So we shall, sorry that's loud. I know I usually do it beforehand. I forgot. Doorbell's ringing so Amazon person's out there. There's always an Amazon person out there.

[00:04:41] Sea salt and vinegar. Yep. They're kettle chips. I don't like kettle chips as much as I like regular ones. They're too thick. It's just me. It's not commenting on the product. It's me. I'm the problem, it's me.

[00:04:58] And then I don't even know how I lost this in my suitcase but D&V and Eugene sent a present for Baby Cat and El Chapo and it's a hot, deluxe hot cat four link catnip toy. Oh boy. It's going to be cocaine Wednesday tomorrow.

[00:05:17] I've already decided it's cocaine Wednesday. I like to see them get all coked up. They only run around for about 10 minutes and then they all just collapse. I'm coming over. Their cocaine doesn't last as long as human cocaine. No.

[00:05:31] No, which is why I really never got into cocaine because I saw the humans on cocaine and went no, you're worse than cats on catnip. Right. Totally annoying, won't shut up. It's not a good social, it's not a social thing.

[00:05:43] Anyway, so before we get to the Queen News, Kansas City went to the Chiefs game. Boom. Tailgating was super fun. I was walking down one aisle. I looked for termites so if you guys were there, I was there. Wandering all around the red lot. Nice.

[00:06:01] Yeah, over by Pole G37 in case anybody's wondering. That was a fucking, they're getting in and out of that place. It's a free-for-all. I didn't even see any cops helping directing traffic. I mean, we got in fine but you're there hours beforehand.

[00:06:15] Tried to save a spot for my sister and then another car for my brother and it just didn't, they couldn't even get up the aisle. But anyway, it was all fine. We found their car and then I went walking

[00:06:26] and these three young guys from Canada were so funny. They were like in their 20s, they were in hoodies and they had plastic bags like you'd get at a gas station full of Modelo. And I'm like...

[00:06:38] And the one guy I noticed is Jersey, well, because I saw his jersey and it's the Saskatchewan Rough Riders and I know that because I watched the Grey Cup. And they're Kelly green, they're bright green. Well, not Kelly but they're green like eagles, yeah, whatever, old eagles.

[00:06:55] And I was like, whoa, are you from, did you come here from Canada? Yeah, they drove 17 hours from Saskatchewan. And they were like, well, you can't really fly it. They would have had to fly from there to Calgary, to Minneapolis, to Kansas City.

[00:07:11] So they got in the car and then they Ubered. They got some Airbnb, they Ubered out with their bags of beer and they were just wandering around. Everybody fed them. The Kansas City tailgating people are very friendly. Probably as friendly as Green Bay,

[00:07:24] which is the other one that I remember being super friendly. I've been to some others that were not quite as welcoming to the other team. And they root for the Bills because, well, all the Canadians and then there were tons of Buffalo people.

[00:07:36] They were all very, very nice. And the Canadian guys root for, talk about hanging on to something. They root for the Bills because of Doug Flutie. I'm like, Doug Flutie's probably older than me. Doug Flutie's an icon. Flutie Flakes, remember Flutie Flakes? Yes, yeah.

[00:07:54] I mean, he's one, because he played up in Canada. So any CFL person that makes it in the NFL. He was a Calgary stampeder. He was a Calgary stampeder? He won the Grey Cup. Oh, he won the Grey Cup. Good for him.

[00:08:09] I bet it wasn't the years Shania Twain performed with a dog sled, was it? No. It was probably my friend Jan Arden. She appears in all those things. Jan always pops up. Just when you think she's not busy, boom, I wrote a novel. What?

[00:08:23] Hey, I made a Christmas movie. What? I don't have time for this. And then I was downtown. I was in with some friends and stuff. And I Googled Christmas bar near me. Boom, it was like 40 feet from me. It was called Tinseltown.

[00:08:39] Normally, it's like, I don't know, a space you rent out or something. I put a video up online. It was the most craziest, awesome. Kansas City's got fun stuff going on. If you ever have a chance, go to Kansas City. I like the Power and Light District.

[00:08:55] My sister-in-law Amy would tell you to go to the fancier part, which is the plaza, darling. There's a lot of Spanish architecture. It's fun shopping, but I don't know. The Power and Light is just more about drinking and running around.

[00:09:06] All the termites want to know, you saw Tay Tay. Okay, Tay Tay, here's the thing. Well, through a friend of a friend, I got field passes so I could take one of the nephews down. Nice. Yeah, but here's the thing. Guess what?

[00:09:22] At five foot tall, some Buffalo people let him come up to the front of the thing, the rope or whatever. Which was super nice to them. They were on the wrong end anyway. They got mixed up, I guess. I don't know. Their players were on the other end.

[00:09:36] When you're five foot one, here's what I saw. The backs of a lot of people's coats. And then there was one area where I could see through two people's shoulders. And if a Kansas City chief, I could see that person right there, but they had a specific...

[00:09:48] I didn't really, I don't really. I mean, it's fun, but it was really more for the kids. But the seats, I mean, I'm not going to lie. The seats that I bought in May, because I thought, well, that'd be fun to go to,

[00:09:59] happened to be right underneath Tay Tay's box. Stop it. No. And again, I can't see shit because everyone's standing up. I was on the aisle and then these people in front of me were very nice and they switched because his wife's only five foot one.

[00:10:16] So she said, yeah, that was very nice because I kept trying to switch down the aisle and then people just kept getting taller. So he's like, there's Tay Tay. I'm like, I don't, I didn't see nothing. I mean, he goes, well, here,

[00:10:27] I'll take a picture for you, the tall guy. And I was like, oh, she's right there in that box. Yeah, I did see Mama Kelsey walking around the corridor there where the hot dogs are and stuff. But Kansas City people are in love with Arrowhead.

[00:10:38] I think we could do better. I'm just saying, I'm... No, they don't. They're so afraid their parking is going to get mixed up. And I'm like, oh my God, you guys, this parking is already mixed up. This is already a cluster. Look at this.

[00:10:53] I don't know how we got in here. I don't know how we're getting out. You don't want to be first one in either. You're never getting out. No, no. Tay Tay stayed for the whole game. The game was quite cold, about 40 degrees, but no wind. That was good.

[00:11:11] And the Chiefs just didn't look right. No. And that call at the end, I'm sorry, but it was fair. He was off. You're not going to be first. That's good. I'm so sick of the refs, though. I won't go into sports because not a lot of people

[00:11:29] don't give a shit, which is fine. I will just drop mention that I'm in the playoffs. Are you? Really? Yes. A fantasy? A fantasy, yeah. Well, there's two semifinals and I'm in one. Nice. Yeah, I'd like to get it to where it's me and Lou in the finals.

[00:11:51] I think the refs, you know, if you were a European or somebody who doesn't know anything about American football and you watched a game, you'd be like, this sucks. I heard a guy at the Tinsel Bar, a British guy saying, you know, there's no timeout in soccer.

[00:12:05] Like we just don't do all, like so many calls. And if they don't have anything to, if we're at the end and they don't really have anything to do with the, I don't know, then my cousin Mike was like, well, like Kathleen, then you got to go

[00:12:17] and do the same thing. And I'm like, no, I don't want to do that. I got to do that for the whole game. I'm like, then fine, quit calling shit. It's ridiculous how much it's so slow. Let them kill each other. I don't care. You're making good money.

[00:12:33] Get out there and take a smack to the head. I say take the helmets off of them and then people will get less hurt. See how that floats out online. Wow. Well, I think when you have a helmet on, you're cockier and you think you can do anything.

[00:12:46] Everybody's hurt. I don't understand this. I mean, how does a quarterback look like what is now a fan? Just some chubby guy who could throw good. I mean, he wasn't like, we had Jim Hart. He was a pudgy little thing and he'd come out. He never got hurt.

[00:13:01] He was a quarterback for like 100 years. And I'm like, how did he not get hurt? He looks like my neighbor. He doesn't even look like a football player for God's sake. I don't know what's going on, but the amount of injuries, the amount of this,

[00:13:15] my friend Kathy could have done really well in the pool to beat somebody I needed beaten. I mean, I love football. And I was not here for the tornado too. People were asking. It was not national. I am going to Titans game this Sunday

[00:13:30] to watch them play Houston. Only because it's going to be 60 degrees. Like if it was 30, I'm like, you have fun down there. I'm not doing that. But it's going to be 60, so I'll go get some tickets at Stuff Up or something.

[00:13:42] But I did not, I was not here for a tornado. It was terrible. And my rover.com person, who's, well, her name's Aubrey. She's very nice. Comes over, came over and checked. The cats were fine. They knew what to do. But boy, yeah, they either go underground

[00:14:02] or on their bazillion dollar porch with eight beds that I have acquired over time. Here, would you want one with hay? Would you like this? How about an igloo? Is it this cozy? And then I have one I call the spaceship.

[00:14:16] They like that because it has a bubble on top and then they can lift their heads and then they can go back to sleep. And I had a lot of people that were, it really messed up. And I left Saturday morning

[00:14:28] and I don't feel like the news was really... There's a tornado. I don't feel like the weather was saying... I walked outside to bring the trash can in and went, uh-oh, because it was like 70 and it had been 40 the day before. I'm like, this is tornado shit.

[00:14:44] But I got out of here early and then all hell broke loose and I don't know. It was even later in the day, apparently, than whether people were on it. But earlier in the day, no, I did not feel that way. Because I watched too.

[00:15:00] Because I thought, well, should I bring, let them all in? I'm only gone for 36 hours and I thought, nah, it's fine. 70 degrees out, they'll like it. Anyway, speaking of the tornado and we go on to some queen news, Taylor Smith has given a million dollars

[00:15:16] to the Tennessee Ravage communities. So Clarksville, Hendersonville, which is right across the lake. If you sat on my porch and looked right across the lake, you would see Hendersonville. So it came that close. But it was still... She's extending her generosity. She made a $1 million donation

[00:15:37] to the Tennessee Emergency Response Fund at the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. So that's great. Good job, Tay-Tay. I'm not going to get into the football game. Cheering on Travis, who made, by the way, the greatest play I've ever seen,

[00:15:56] a tight end play and then it got called back. Yeah, it's too bad, but that guy, his foot was behind the line. But he should have got a warning. You get a warning, that's part of the deal. And then you don't, it's the very end of the game.

[00:16:10] And then my cousin Mike's like, well, yeah, but if it's the beginning of the game, you didn't call it, you know, she had to go home. And I think Travis probably goes back and goes, you know what it's like to just mess up a lot, right?

[00:16:24] And she's like, no, I don't. I'm perfect. A little bit embarrassing. Did you cook? What did you grill? Oh, my brother-in-law Matt grilled a lot of hamburgers and hot dogs. And then we got into an argument about how many preservatives are in hot dogs. I'll have four.

[00:16:48] Yeah, and you know what? Put some salt on it. Thank you. So all was fun was had by all. More Queen news. I thought I had another Tay-Tay thing, but I don't. Oh, she gave Stevie Nicks, Stevie Nicks gave her a Stevie Nicks Barbie

[00:17:06] and it's in her kitchen. No. Yeah, welcome. That's what they should have had her doll say. Welcome. Funny that Dolly Queen Dolly purchases a downtown office building in Nashville. Yeah, I don't know what exactly she when she ever sleeps or apparently her husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

[00:17:33] She's staying around town a lot to take care of him. But I guess she gets bored at three in the morning. So she decided to buy a building. Yeah. It's an 11 story downtown office tower. It's right off Broadway. I looked it up.

[00:17:47] So this is primo for a bar. Yeah. A big bar to 11. Seventy five million. That's what was paid. Dolly partnered with Herschend Enterprises since the pandemic. Commercial real estate is becoming an opportunity. Dolly said in a written statement, I strongly believe the future of

[00:18:06] Nashville in the future of Nashville and feel this is a great investment. Future plans will be shared as they materialize. I'm going to be selling a guy, Pete Owens. It was last sold in 2020 for 50 million dollars. Wow. Yeah. And what are you going to do?

[00:18:23] They'll keep it an office building. Boring. No, we're going to make it a Dolly hotel. I'll bet you a million dollars. Moving on to some king news. Jelly roll. Yeah. Graduates of a program at the Genesee County Jail. This is in Flint, Michigan. Depressed area.

[00:18:45] Economically, got a special visitor to applaud their accomplishments. She's a rap rapper turned country singer. Jelly Roll is expected to be part of a graduation ceremony in a video posted. He's coming to Flint. He did go. He handed out diplomas. He did a little concert for you.

[00:19:01] Twenty three inmates have completed their GEDs, diplomas, barber school certificates and welding certificates. The sheriff said he delivered the commencement speech and performed so songs before and afterwards. It was a private event. He tells them stories about him being a past drug addict and convicted felon.

[00:19:18] And now he's the most wickedly popular artist in the country. He didn't say that. They say that. And here's my bio. Yeah. Oh, he was also in town to perform at Little Caesars Arena Tuesday night as part of the Jingle Bell concert, which was also included Usher,

[00:19:34] Lil Durk. No idea. Big Time Rush. No idea. Florida. Florida. Florida. Florida. Yeah. And Kali and Idol. There was some girl on the Today Show, Tate somebody. One of yours paddles a Canadian girl. Yeah. She looks to be 12. I don't know. And I'm like, I have no

[00:19:59] this person is performing at Madison Square Garden and I have no earthly idea. If I would. Here's how I guess. I don't know. She must have been on America's Got Talent or something. No. She was on So You Think You Can Dance. She did real good

[00:20:12] on there. She's a dancer. But then she sings, Oh, I'm so sad. You made me mad. I'm so glad. Like it. But it's like a rap and then dancers come out. They're all like 19. I don't know. And I thought there's a whole sea of people, probably my nieces,

[00:20:28] who know who this person is. Right. And, you know, I'm like, how many tickets have I sold in Wichita? You know, Tate, Tate, the little singing dance machine. It's funny. No, Tate. Well, Tate better have somebody managing that money. God, that. Oh, that's got kick.

[00:20:54] Yeah, I'm going to go back to Evans for now. That's like for nighttime. Oh, yeah, that's night night nog. I still have to go to Lowe's after this. I had to get my paint can shaken by the shake machine. I can't be grown and drunk. I don't know.

[00:21:09] So drunk lady came in here with a gallon of paint that's like eight years old and asked us to shake it. That's exactly what's going to happen. Snoop Dogg, little news on him that we're moving on to updates. Snoop Dogg claims he received a

[00:21:22] payout of less than forty five thousand dollars after earning one billion streams on Spotify. Yeah, I don't I believe him. Yeah. I don't feel like I really get paid for this. I don't feel like I'm getting paid for this. I don't feel like I really get

[00:21:38] paid from that. I mean, I'm glad it's there. And a lot of people sent me your rap things. I'm very happy that I made a lot of people's top 10. Yeah. It's very exciting to see on Twitter and they always have good taste.

[00:21:50] I look at who else they listen to a lot and then I judge them. Yeah. Some guy had Dana Gould up there and a lot of you may not know who he is. He's a comedian stand up. Very, very, very, very funny.

[00:21:59] I put my I forget about him because he doesn't really work. He went on to produce things and do things that have nothing to do with stand up. So, so this is my so. Hold on. Snoop Dogg became the owner of Death Row Records in twenty

[00:22:20] twenty two profited forty million by removing the labels music from streaming platforms and make it only available in the metaverse. My son he the one who spoon me and groomed either this no Snoop Dogg told business on that. In the beginning it was just a

[00:22:36] bunch of motherfuckers using my name my face and doing all kinds of shit. He called me and said Pops it's what you can't do. You can't be mad because if they use any facing like this they love you. They just don't know how to get in

[00:22:45] touch with you. What you do is reach out to them and say thanks or good looking out or do you want to collaborate. So it was like my son who made me do adjust to the attitude on this ain't a money grab this relationship.

[00:22:56] And I think that's why we won. Yeah. Good job Snoop Snoop is busy. Other than that he's just busy being cool. Yeah. Yeah. Update. Remember the Rembrandt I told you about. That was originally valued at fifteen thousand dollars because they didn't know it was a Rembrandt.

[00:23:15] Then they found out it was a Rembrandt. It's sold for 14 million. Yeah. Wow. I don't think it's that well it certainly wouldn't fit my house. The adoration of King just two years ago as it was valued fifteen thousand dollars and it got 13 million at Sotheby's on an

[00:23:35] auction on Wednesday. Mm hmm. It's been on scene since the 50s when it first came to light it was acquired by collector J.C.H. Heldring in Amsterdam in 1955 his widow sold it to a German family in 1985. Well it remained until it was sold

[00:23:50] by Christie's in Amsterdam two years ago at the time Christie attributed the biblical scene to the circle of Rembrandt suggested it could have been carried out by a student or an artist out close to the. You're right. So they were saying it wasn't him.

[00:24:02] But I mean that original family should sue these people. Yes. I don't know if that's happening but they should because you can't tell me it's not and then say it is and then somebody makes all the money moving on. Holy shit. They found it.

[00:24:19] I didn't have any updates. This one came from your busy. My friend. Yeah. I got a lot of updates on this week. We're just not big on updates. It just doesn't happen. You just got to let the podcast got to do what it does.

[00:24:35] I can only be the collector of items. This was sent by my research assistant also the drummer for Chief Trick Dax. Amazing. Oh he they're going out on tour this summer. They're going to be with. Oh shit. And Busch Stadium Def Leppard and some.

[00:24:51] Yeah I think for me I'm going to be with the guy who's going to be on but yeah I think for maybe. Yeah but I don't think I go to that one but I'm going to go find them somewhere on the road because

[00:25:04] there's a lot of the bands of that era going out together and it's super fun. I went when they were with heart and joint jet. It was a blast. Yeah. Amazing fossil preserves teenage T-Rex's last meal a teenage T-Rex. Oh they found the contents of his stomach.

[00:25:27] A juvenile Gorgasaurus revealed it had feasted on small bird species 75 million years ago. How crazy is that. Yeah I know. What did it have for lunch. What did it have for dinner. Whatever I wanted. The groaner of the dad this groaner of a dad joke is very

[00:25:44] funny. It's also not accurate. Unlike their enormous adult relatives at the top of the food chain it seems juvenile T-Rex has had to rely on prey more suitable for their smaller nimble or physique. Sometimes it meant small birds bird like dinosaurs and leaving the rest for

[00:26:01] scavengers research announced that the entree was on Lake Crecious in a study they published on Friday. Yeah. It was in Alberta Canada. There you go. There you go paddles. You're sending us people on today's show I don't know of and fossils. Well done. The Tyrell Museum is in

[00:26:26] Alberta Canada. The dinosaur deal. Yeah. Holy shit they found it. Archaeologists discovered ancient prison bakery at Pompeii. Yeah they're really financed I really want to go there. Officials say the cramped room with barred windows is a shocking example of the precarious living conditions

[00:26:45] of the enslaved people in a Roman city destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius a prison bakery where enslaved workers and donkeys were confined and exploited to grind the grain to make the bread needed was discovered during evacuations in the ruins of Pompeii Italy.

[00:27:00] The cramped room with no view of the outside world small windows high in the wall barred with iron was part of a home that emerged during the evacuations of the ancient city which were buried in 79 A.D. This place tells us everything about the living conditions of

[00:27:16] these people and the animals exploited for this grueling work. That doesn't sound very nice. Oh my God. Markings used to guide enslaved workers and blindfolded animals in a circle to keep the millstone moving were found on the bakery's floor. Jesus. Right. Just what I don't think.

[00:27:35] I don't know. In a space which we would have imagined the presence of people of status it's the most shocking side of ancient slavery. They discovered a small bedroom and also in a Roman villa near Pompeii was almost certainly used by slaves throwing their

[00:27:50] condition in the ancient world. Wow. There's the so the EU funded this whole project to Pompeii. Yeah they gave him 115 million dollars. This is also. Oh shit. This is crazy. A huge sea monster emerges from the Dorset cliffs and it's a pleasure discovery and it's the

[00:28:15] head of a pleasure. And the thing is huge. It belongs. It's the perception of the skull is so intact it's amazing it belongs to a pleasure or ferocious marine marine reptile that terrorize the oceans about 150 million years ago. The six foot five inch long

[00:28:31] fossil is one of the most complete specimens of a type ever discovered and is giving new insights to this ancient predator. The skull will be featured in the David Attenborough program on the BBC one on New Year's Day. So if you want to see this giant

[00:28:44] skull it's amazingly large. You're not into football right if you're not watching football it's beautifully preserved. There isn't a specimen anywhere else to match it in the world. It's one of the best fossils I've ever worked on. What makes it unique is that it's

[00:28:58] complete the lower and the upper jaw are mashed together as they would be in life. Worldly there's hardly any specimens found to that level of detail and if they are there are a lot of bits and pieces missing. Whereas this although it's slightly distorted it has every

[00:29:10] bone present. The skull is longer than most humans are tall which gives you a sense of depth and depth The skull is longer than most humans are tall which gives you a sense of how big the creature was. You can't help focus on its hundred and thirty teeth

[00:29:24] especially those at the front. I mean they're they're massive long and sharp they could kill with a single bite but look a little closer. Each of the tooth is marked with fine ridges that would have helped the bees pierce the flesh and then extract its dagger like

[00:29:37] fangs ready for a rapid second attack. It was the ultimate killing machine with four powerful flipper like limbs to propel itself at a high speed it was the apex predator in the ocean. The animal would have been so massive I think would be able

[00:29:52] to prey effectively on anything that was unfortunate enough to be in its space. Yeah it makes an alligator look like a sissy which we're going to get to that too. Yeah we're going to get to that. Speaking of alligators one of the rarest ones in the whole world

[00:30:07] was born at Caterlot. More than 35 years after a rare nest of white alligators was discovered in Louisiana swamp. A star is born. A lew-kistic or cystic. I never know how to say it. Lew-cistic. Text Brandon. Yeah I'll have to text Brandon or I could do the Google machine

[00:30:32] when they say how to pronounce something but it's always a British person. How to pronounce alligator. No it's alligator. Alligator. Gatorland. No it's alligator. It's Gatorland. It was born this summer and it's the cutest little thing. It's like only like six inches long.

[00:30:53] It's the cutest little thing and it's healthy. They are the rarest genetic variation of the alligator with white coloration patches of normal pigmentation and blue eyes. She's adorable. They differ from albino alligators which have a complete loss of pigmentation and pink eyes.

[00:31:10] The all white female was born in August along with a brother gator with normal coloring. Gatorland's veterinary staff said they really received clean bills of health for both. Although the all white female will be sensitive to sun. Well let's get her some sunblock. You can help name her.

[00:31:27] Yeah. The new girl was born to a normal colored mom and carry the recessive gene and a leucistic dad. The least that it's the first one born in human care ever. This is beyond rare. It's actually absolutely extraordinary. These are incredibly special animals in the reptile world.

[00:31:46] We are being very careful with their safety. We plan to have them display early next year so guests can see them learn about them and it would probably get eaten in the wild anyway because it's white. Well this is here's some creative

[00:31:58] ideas because you got to name her and her brother but I didn't know that I thought we were just looking for the girls and because she's all white I think we should name her Betty after Betty White. Right. And Betty White loved all animals and reptiles.

[00:32:11] They said Barbie and Candy were the best. They said Barbie and Ken Elsa and Olaf grits and gumbo. I don't know. The public did help pick Jolene from the alligator at the top of its jaws missing but I'm going with Betty White.

[00:32:33] Yeah or I had another one ghost because she's all white and had another one lizard blizzard. News. Moving on to some more news New York. How are you doing. Guess what's going to be happening. Giant spiders are going to be parachuting in. That'll be fun for everybody.

[00:32:53] Giant spiders about the size of a human hand are set to become the latest creatures to roam around New York City streets along side the subway rats and the supposed sewer alligators. Yep. Experts are warning that the city may soon be invaded by a

[00:33:07] swarm of giant Joro spiders which ballooned through the air on giant webs and attached themselves to vehicles headed to the Big Apple. Have fun Lewis. Hey Lou want to go for a walk in Central Park. Giant spiders parachuting down should be fun to watch.

[00:33:26] Come on I need a video for Instagram. We're not going out there Kathleen. The hell is the matter with you. We're not going. No. Oh Lou put on a hat. These spiders are far from typical critters you often see crawling out of your bathtub drain.

[00:33:40] Jose Ramirez an ecologist from Rutgers explained that the spiders huge size will make them hard to admit just hard to miss. They get pretty large larger than any real than really any other spiders we have in our area. Google a picture of one. It is terrifying looking.

[00:33:58] They're from East Asian countries like Japan Korea Taiwan and China. Yep. But they've been making their way across the United States since 2014 when they were first discovered in Georgia. The critters are believed to have most likely made their way to the US through traveling aboard cargo ships since

[00:34:12] touching down on US soil. The spiders have started to meander through other southern states with sightings in Tennessee. I have seen none. The Carolinas Maryland and further west Oklahoma due to their traveling partners it's only a matter of time before they hit the Big Apple.

[00:34:27] Right now we are seeing them dispersed into Maryland. So soon enough probably by next year they should be in New York and New Jersey. And it's multicolored and it's a thin spider but terrifying looking. They use their thick web like parachutes to travel in the breeze.

[00:34:42] So they're just flying along in the air. They also hitch rides on vehicles making them easy to spread throughout the country. They have branded them as an invasive species but they're not fuzzy about what they're not fussy about what they eat. They don't care to see what

[00:35:01] gets caught in their web they're just as likely to eat brown marmorated stink bugs as they already eat a monarch butterfly. I don't know what a marmorated stink bug is. They're pushing out native species and catching and killing whatever comes into their webs. Are they good or bad?

[00:35:16] It's very nuanced depending on your perspective. They're not harmful to humans or large animals. In fact they're shy. I don't think you're that shy if you're parachuting into my yard. Yeah I don't think so. And you know I'm not going to be OK if it's in the house.

[00:35:30] I'm not going to be OK if it's in the house. Their huge body gangly legs of bright colors may give the impression they are dangerous but they actually try to avoid entering people's homes as they prefer the outdoors and will freeze in

[00:35:43] a spot for over an hour rather than scuttle around when they feel scared. They will probably not bite you even if they try their fangs are too small to pierce the skin. They're gentle giants and they're here to stay. They're so good at living with

[00:35:57] humans they're probably not going to go away anytime soon. Well Google I don't want to see one. That's just. Yeah. No I don't. Not at all. Yeah put a picture in the snow. Oh I forgot to do two. I always forget this part. What am I watching.

[00:36:19] Yeah I know I'm a little backtracking there. The Gilded Age picked it up. Yeah because I said it was getting a little boring. It was getting a little boring and they've totally picked it up. There there are people dying. There are fortunes being lost.

[00:36:34] We have almost come to the end of the fight about the opera for going to go to the new opera or the old opera. The drama has kicked in full and there were a couple slow episodes as I complained about. But someone heard you.

[00:36:49] Somebody must have heard me a year ago when they wrote this pick it up. Somebody in the writers room was asleep while we were writing that one episode. It's really picked it up and I don't have any Christmas movies for you because I really haven't been home.

[00:37:02] But I did watch the first half of Bye Bye Barry about Banner Sanders and it's great. I just haven't had time to watch the second half. Right. Barry Sanders being a football player of the Detroit Lions if you recall the running back. Anyway so yes on Gilded Age

[00:37:15] I'm voting yes. And I have watched some Christmas movies but I haven't seen anything great. I don't know the names of the ones I saw so they're not worth repeating because they were just kind of. Are you going to come do a little commentary this year?

[00:37:27] There's a Hanukkah one I want to watch this year. There's a Hanukkah one I want to watch too. But I don't like the idea that it's Groundhog's Day the girl never wakes up and then I just get irritated it's Groundhog's Day. But I'll try.

[00:37:39] Yeah I'm going to do some commentary. I just have to find the right movie. All right. There's like a hundred on my thing right now. Oh my God. Yeah. Christmas in Connecticut. Christmas in Missouri. Every state. They got every state. Are you going to be drinking screwball?

[00:37:54] I hope she can buy Evan Williams. This is crazy. The Holy Grail. Harry Potter first edition found in a bargain bin sells for sixty nine thousand dollars. What? Speaking of which Nashville at the train station has a Harry Potter Christmas bar if you're into that. Fun.

[00:38:08] Yeah I wouldn't know what anything is. You might. I mean. You like Harry Potter. Well I don't care about Harry Potter. You have a wand in your hand. Well I like the wand and I like that ball. I mean I took like I said I

[00:38:19] took my nephew's little wand and I put it on his hand and I put it on his hand and I put it on his hand and I put it on his hand and I put it on his hand and I put it on

[00:38:25] his hand and I put it on his hand. I mean like I said I took my nephews a hundred years ago to go see the first one. I never saw any more. I haven't read the book. The snitch ball whatever. I think I mean it's fine but

[00:38:35] would I go to the bar? Would I know? No. Because I had to go in that thing in New York or somewhere it was all Harry Potter stuff and I just didn't even know what I was looking at. You got to be into it.

[00:38:46] It's just not my thing. Yeah. But if you're in Nashville you want to go to a Christmas bar. That's one I read about. A rare first edition copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone found in a discount bin in a Scottish bookstore in the late 1900s

[00:39:07] has fetched $69,000 at an auction. Now doesn't that make you want to go root around a bookstore? Yeah. Except I wouldn't know what I was looking at. Exactly. Yeah. No. No. The hardback is just one of the 200 early editions of the best-selling children's books

[00:39:23] sent out to bookstores ahead of its 1997 mass publication according to Hanson's auctioneers who sold the prize literary relic at its Stafford Shire sale room December 11th. An early edition. Did it call Charles a racist? Exactly! The lucky seller was an unidentified 58-year-old Scottish woman who purchased the book

[00:39:50] while touring the Scottish highlands with her family that same year. I bought the Harry Potter book before anyone knew much about it or the author. Although her fortuitous find predated the Harry Potter mention that swept the globe soon after the publication, she recognized the cover and the

[00:40:06] title after reading one of the then-unknown author J.K. Rowling's first ever published interview in the Scotsman newspaper. Oh, here's a picture of it. Oh. Cool. It doesn't look real. No? No. It's a cartoon drawing. Because it has no dust jacket, I got a couple pounds knocked

[00:40:25] off the price. Our two children enjoyed the wizard tale as a bedtime story all through the holiday of 1997. Years later, the book's owner's children did some research online that they believed they possessed a first edition and she assumed her copy was worthless because of the misguiding dust jacket.

[00:40:43] Little did she know she had the Holy Grail for all collectors! Yes, the book was in storage for a year, virtually forgotten, and left, of all places, in a cupboard under the stairs of the family house, much like young Harry Potter's meager accommodations at

[00:40:59] the dursley home in the novel. Oh, I don't remember any of that, but I'm sure it's true. Spencer said that the specimen is particularly rarefied because of its relatively pristine condition. They've often, most examples are quite badly worn, especially library copies. They've often been shared among

[00:41:18] friends and carried around in school rucksacks, which in some way is lovely, capturing the buzz of Harry Potter when it first gained popularity. However, more traditional collectors are incredibly fussy about the condition and this could hardly be better. The novel, which was retitled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's

[00:41:36] Stone for U.S. audiences, went on sale, went on to sell more than 120 million copies. It remains one of the best-selling books of all time! You read the book? All of them? Oh, my gosh. Yeah, I mean, once. I read them once.

[00:41:53] Isn't there a Harry Potter deal in Disneyland world? Yeah. Yeah, my friend Aaron went. He likes it. Yeah. Or is it his wife, Lucy? Who like? It's Aaron? I remember we were on the road in Florida and he said, what are you doing tomorrow?

[00:42:12] I said, probably going to Gatorland if I'm off. That's where I'm at. And he's like, well, you know, if you've already been there on this trip, if you want to come to me to the Harry Potter village or something. I love you. We have a lot in common.

[00:42:26] This is not one of those things. No judgment. It's just I'm going to go look at a real live alligator. And now I have friends at Gatorland and one of the one of the one of the children sent me a picture

[00:42:39] of an alligator with his arm over the other alligator because it's cold. I was the most adorable thing I've ever seen. It should be their Christmas card saying you love and hugs from Gatorland. Yeah, they were cuddling each other. It was adorable.

[00:42:53] Here's here's a total waste of money ready ready for this. Jeff Bezos. Not only is Jeff wasting a lot of money by the boxes he is sending to this house when I order a dozen golf balls for my dad, they don't

[00:43:06] have to be in a box the size of a couch. There's no reason for that. I don't understand. Like a lot of people wouldn't know this, like George Wallace, the comedian. My friend, he actually majored in college and like transportation and delivery and all this stuff.

[00:43:22] Like there are people that do these times some things for a living. I don't understand why Amazon can't get a box person in there to go when I hit click on golf balls and that the box is what 12 by 12 at the most

[00:43:39] that a box is not assigned to that. It's the same size. Why? Why am I? I have a giant box and I'm shaking it. I'm like, oh, golf balls. Yeah. It's a here's another way he's decided to waste some money. I guess if you got it wasted

[00:43:55] all you want. He spent forty two million dollars building a clock that will outlast human civilization. Oh my God. OK, I. Yeah, it's going to run for 10 millennial. I don't even know how long that is a long time. It's empowered by Earth's thermal cycles.

[00:44:17] I also don't know what that means. He's bankrolling at forty two million dollar clock. He's proving his supervillain credentials by building a clock that will last all human. You won't see it either, Jeff. Why are you doing this? Who cares? He's one of the richest people on the

[00:44:36] planet. Cash means nothing to him. He has a seventy nine million dollar home, one billionaire bunker. I don't know what that is. He has a seventy five million dollar super yacht and a five hundred million dollar mega yacht and a seventy eight million dollar private jet.

[00:44:56] Well, can't you just get away and go wherever you want? Why would you do this? Ten thousand years. He announced this. Ten thousand years. Ten thousand years it will run. Well, if you're going to go that far, why not go longer?

[00:45:11] Do what did Baba Vanga say the world's going to end in 10,000 years? I'd go longer than that. I mean, if we're going to be nuts, let's go full on wackadoodle. And there's a picture of this thing and it doesn't look like a clock to

[00:45:22] me. And if I did arrive here 10,000 years from now, I would look at that and go, I don't know. That was somebody's freaky science experiment in eighth grade. It didn't work. It looks like a planetary mess of circles. I don't know. He announced the project in 2018.

[00:45:39] He invested the idea of putting a giant. Yeah. Ten thousand inside a mountain in West Texas. Construction of the clock, part of the Long Now Foundation is now underway. My Lord, can you imagine you go to work for a normal salary every day and you're like this

[00:45:56] jackass is spending 42 million. Once it's finished, it will stand 500 feet high. Oh, my God. The clock is hundreds of feet tall. Engineering engineered to required minimal maintenance. OK. Minimal is a key there. Because if we don't exist, who's maintaining the minimal? The the clock itself. No.

[00:46:21] The people that survive in the bunkers I'm about to tell you about in South Dakota. Yes. It's powered by mechanical energy harvested from sunlight as well as the people that visit it. What? I don't know. The Clark, the clock will mark time with astronomic and calendric displays.

[00:46:44] And it's time generator designed with the help of Brian Eno that can produce over three point five million unique bell chime sequences, one for every day the clock is visited for the next. What if nobody goes? Right. Is that someone's job? I'd do it for a good salary.

[00:47:03] Kathleen, have you visited the clock today? Yes, I got up at eight and went back to bed at eight or five. I visited the clock. Please send my payment under the name Kathleen with a K thank you. Madigan, it's a D not T.T. Thank you.

[00:47:22] Jeff Bezos is footing the bill, but the idea came from a man named Danny Hill Hillis, who co-founded the foundation. I don't know. You know, anytime somebody does something like this, you can we can all sit here and go, why don't you

[00:47:35] spend the money on this and that? But this is a case where, yes, but who the hell cares if aliens arrive here 10,000 years from now and want to know what fucking time it is? That's on you, little alien gray person. Why don't you have a why

[00:47:48] don't you have an iWatch? Where's your where's your how about you could go to Walgreens and got an old timey timex that glows in the dark. You don't this is this 42 million. Think of what it could do right now for all the tornado people.

[00:48:01] Just I mean, yeah, you know, it's supposed to help people invest in long term future of humanity and the planet. It's hope to encourage people to conjure the notions of generations and millennial. What if you have a clock ticking for 10,000 years? What kinds of generational scale

[00:48:20] questions and projects will it suggest if a clock can keep going for 10 million millennials? Shouldn't we make sure our civilization does as well? Well, if it does, we don't need the clock. The other guy is still involved in the design when it's completed.

[00:48:40] It will only take once a year and its chime will only be heard once per millennia. Now, if that doesn't make you feel insignificant, I don't know what will. Well, you know what? We don't need things to make us feel more. We have plenty of things like

[00:48:52] that. That's why I like to go to big giant churches like Notre Dame or St. Patrick's in New York, because you immediately feel like a small insignificant piece of shit. And sometimes you need to be reminded because that makes you know nothing's that serious.

[00:49:03] Yeah, we're here for a half a second. We're gone. Calm down. Everybody. McDonald's. You need to calm down. I know that one because she put it against Marshall Blackburn. The senator from Tennessee, who she doesn't like. My still favorite line in the Taylor

[00:49:21] Swift thing is when she wanted to come out against Marshall Blackburn and say, I want the other person running to win. And her dad's like, you don't need to be political. You're gonna lose half of your fan base. Do you think Bob Hope would have done yet?

[00:49:32] She said on the couch, she's like, yeah, whatever. So what I'm going to do, she just totally ignored the fact that I'm sure she's too young to even know who Bob Hope is. More or less care. And then if you did know who Bob

[00:49:43] Hope is, I do not agree with Bob. No, I don't. No, no, no, no, no, no. What about his wife? What about Bob Hope's wife? Do you think Dolores Hope would have gone along with this jet? Keep your mouth shut. What would Bob Hope do?

[00:49:59] That should be a bracelet. Tate should make that bracelet. The children. Yeah. What would Bob Hope to do the opposite? McDonald's is losing its mind. Yep. They're going to launch Cosmix, an alien inspired restaurant serving slushies to go. What? You heard it here first night.

[00:50:19] This is why as a termite, you are in the know when you see this sign. Yeah. But beverage focused multiple drive through concept aims to compete with Starbucks other takeaway drink chains, iced coffee, all day egg McMuffins and a space alien. McDonald's is counting on this

[00:50:34] combination plus multiple drive through lanes as the company as the company this month launches Cosmix, its first new restaurant concept in the United States in more than 60 years. Jesus. Yeah. The plan chain is part of the Golden Arches expanded bet on to go eating and aims to grab

[00:50:52] a slice of the ice beverage sales that have helped powered record sales for Starbucks recently. Well, I know. Well, the to go app on Starbucks is great and it usually works. Yeah. And then you don't have to bother with all the although I've

[00:51:08] noticed every Starbucks I go on the road, they're taking more seating away and more seating away and eventually it's all going to be gone. They think they finally caught on. There's a lot of slackers in here using this as a home office. And I do agree.

[00:51:19] That's bullshit. I shouldn't have to provide that for people. And they only get one cup of coffee all day. You know, buzz off like we can't buzz off. Just get out. And then wherever. Because I was when I was in Portland, I noticed it

[00:51:35] Cosmix is named for an orange alien mascot featured in past McDonald's advertisements. I do not remember an orange alien mascot executive at the Chicago. Oh, it's based in Chicago. I didn't know that McDonald's was. They outlined plans for the brand new for the new brand

[00:51:51] during an investor presentation on Wednesday where it announced to build thousands of new restaurants and expand its chicken chicken offerings around the world. Visitors to the first location opening this month in Chicago. You have to get down there and take videos for us.

[00:52:11] I won't be in Chicago for a while because I was just this summer. We'll send Dax. Yeah, I'll send my friend Dax. This is what it's going to feature. A four drive through lanes, no dining room and a smaller format than its traditional McDonald's.

[00:52:29] It's designed to wear on what McDonald's and other restaurant chains have said its consumers growing preference for takeout orders. But I don't want to get my coffee through the drive through because they never put enough sugar in. And then I got to pull over and

[00:52:40] then I got to do all that bullshit. And then I spill it in the car and then I'm like, God damn it. And then it's on my jeans and I'd rather do. Well, maybe they're going to do that too. Let me park and I'll come in

[00:52:51] through the app and I've already ordered it. Yeah. And I'll settle it in there and then go back to my car. I won't stay. I do like a lot of white sugar. I know. I know it's not good for you. I've tried the raw. It's all right.

[00:53:05] I like white bread. It's one of the reasons I left California. I couldn't find white bread. I wanted wonder white bread. And the lady looked at me like I just asked if they had cow shit for sale. That's how she looked at me.

[00:53:19] It was at a grocery store called Gelson's. And she's like, well, honey, I don't really think a lot of stores are going to have it. Then I'm like, well, then I need to leave. And by leave, I mean the state. I have fucking had it

[00:53:31] every once while most of the time I eat the good, the better bread. But sometimes you just want a salami and pepper cheese on white bread. Nobody ever wants that. Yes, they do. Yes, they do. People in the Midwest do. Well, well, here's what you won't find.

[00:53:49] Signature fries and burgers. Cosmix will offer its own menu that leans heavily on customized iced drinks. I don't get all that stuff. I don't. The children love it. The children love it. I know I see him walking out of a Starbucks sometimes.

[00:54:03] I saw a couple I was in Seattle. She was one of the children, like a 20 something. And they look so proud that they have acquired their crazy drink that probably cost twenty two dollars. And I'm like, man, no, no. I had Folgers when I was 18 and

[00:54:21] started on that. Yeah. Yeah. And it was instant. The instant. No, I drew the line. I drew the line. Unless for some reason I'm camping, which I wouldn't be voluntarily. It means I'm a prisoner. Then I'll drink your cowboy coffee Folgers instant bullshit out of a tin

[00:54:38] cup and act like I'm more you know, whatever. So the they will including flavored lemonades, turmeric spice lattes, pear slushies. Gross. Churro frappes. Frappes. Frappe. Yeah. It's spelled with an accent. A good accent. They grow. I can't remember from French class. The one that leans to the right

[00:55:09] and there's a small food menu with an avocado to tomato sandwich, tomato sandwich. Oh, they still have egg McMuffins. You mean Italian? Well, how do you say it? Toma. There's L's in their tomato. You took Spanish. I never took I should have taken Spanish. I enjoy it.

[00:55:32] Yeah. Tomatoes. It's just more fun. Every time I watch Narcos and they're going crazy yelling in Spanish, like that's a fun language. Like it sounds fun. Ha ha. Tequila. Like it just sounds fun. Everything about it. Nap time. Love it. Here's what else they're going to have.

[00:55:51] You egg McMuffins are on it. Ice cream and snacks like hash brown bites. You'd like those. I don't really eat them. We need to know. I don't know. I don't. I'm not one of the children, so maybe the children can carry this. But your friends will tell us.

[00:56:10] More clues have appeared, including a website saying Cosmix coming soon, bearing the McDonald's logo in recent days. Local news reports in Chicago have zeroed in on a restaurant. Here it is in nearby suburb in the nearby suburb, Boiling Brook, Illinois, with Cosmix signage in multiple drive through lanes.

[00:56:26] It's on. It's on like Donkey Kong. It's coming. It's still at headquarters. And keep an eye on it. McDonald's updated the website with Cosmix menu stating that the new brand had served millions and millions of aliens. What are we doing? What are we doing? It's not for us.

[00:56:45] I know it's not for me. I know it's not for old people. It's for the children. But I don't really think this is going to resonate. We'll see how well I know the children and I meet a shit ton of them on the road.

[00:56:58] But the ones who like me are fun. Like they're normal. But they behave a little bit older than some of the children. Taco Bell is also evaluating a new design that features four drive through lanes double its typical two. Chick-fil-A already has like a

[00:57:19] million and there's children out there directing them like a police force. Chick-fil-A. And I know people don't like them because of politics and stuff. My friend George had the funniest Chick-fil-A joke ever, though. He said, you know, Chick-fil-A say they're not open on Sundays.

[00:57:32] Right. Because of whatever reasons they're not open on Sunday. So what I've decided to do is Saturday, I'm going to go buy everything Chick-fil-A has, all of it. And then I'm going to sit in the drive through on Sunday and say, yeah, we open.

[00:57:44] And cash only Venmo me. What you want? You want the breakfast little tiny chicken ones? I got it. What do you want? And then he's gonna sit there with all the food. That would be funny if he just opened their drive through. Because there's nobody in the

[00:57:57] parking lot. Taco Bell is evaluating it. Chick-fil-A. I mean, how many does Chick-fil-A already has four lanes? God, they serve 720 cars an hour. That's amazing. And it's fast. Starbucks and Rival Chain Dutch Brothers. Those are popping up all over Missouri. Dutch Brothers. Yeah. There's one in Tennessee.

[00:58:20] They're they're doing the drive through thing. They're going to have test locations. Here's going to go get them. Here's where they're going to be. So Termites. Let's get some videos going when they pop up. Dallas, Fort Worth and San Antonio by the end of next year.

[00:58:36] I will be down there at some point next year, so I will go look for them. I don't know. I also just don't trust the children sometimes to put everything I asked for in there and then I got to go back in.

[00:58:47] Just let me go in the first time. Right. Yeah. Exactly. This this is a crazy ass story. I don't know why this makes me laugh so hard. I think because when super rich families lose their fucking minds. It's like the DuPont family when

[00:59:05] that one kid, the one son Foxwoods at Foxcatcher, the movie. Yeah. Foxwoods is a casino. Kathleen, let's get your head straight. OK. So, you know, Ermey is how H-E-R-M-E-S. Hermes, Ermey. The heir of the fortune and it is a shit ton of money. He plans to adopt

[00:59:32] the 51 year old gardener to transfer his 11 billion dollar fortune. What? I can firmly say right now to my friend Mark, who sends people over here sometimes in the spring to turn everything on and then in the winter to turn all the sprinklers off. They're not getting the money.

[00:59:54] I really love two of the guys. Angel. He's one. I give them tons of beer. But if you think you're getting the fortune. They're gardeners, but you know, we're not that palsy. You get free beer. You see me, you know there's beer and you're happy.

[01:00:11] And a surprising twist to similar movie plots. 80 year old Nicholas Pwitch, the billionaire grandson of Ermey founder Terry Ermey. It's French. How would they say that in French? T-H-I-E-R-R-Y. Terry. Three. Terry. Terry. Terry. Terry Ermey is making headlines with his plan to adopt his former 50,

[01:00:36] his 51 year old former gardener and potentially leave him 11 billion dollars. This unexpected move is part of a broader effort by Pwitch to reshape the beneficiaries of his state. Estimated. I know estimated around 5 percent or 6 percent ownership of the 220 billion dollar valued luxury luxury fashion house. Pwitch.

[01:01:02] And then I thought, well, is he gay and this is his partner? Or is he just saying, screw the family. Watch me do this. He's unmarried and childless. He's enlisted a legal team to navigate the complex process of adopting his former gardener and handyman.

[01:01:19] There's another person that does a lot of awesome work for me on this house when I need something new built. His name is Avi. And Avi or Avi's wife, if you're listening, I'm not giving you any more money than you've already received. Avi's wonderful, but who just gives

[01:01:36] their their, you know, this is crazy. Generous people. He's a list to the former gardener and handyman is from a modest Moroccan family. The unnamed gardener married to a Spanish woman with two children now stands to inherit a significant amount of the wealth, including properties in Marrakech,

[01:01:57] Morocco, Montreux, Switzerland, valued at five point nine million. The decision to adopt an adult, especially in Switzerland, where Pouche resides is rare and subject to intricate requirements. Wow. Right. You I don't I there was a case a long time ago where I'm

[01:02:14] like, I didn't know you could adopt other adults. I used to do a joke about it. My act, I think, because as I would just like to let Oprah know I'm available. You know, if she's looking for somebody fun to have around the house, I can make drinks.

[01:02:26] I can make drinks. I can paint walls pretty good. Feed the animals. I have talents. Yeah. According to the law, adult adoptions are only permissible if the adoptee lived with the adopter for at least a year when they were still a minor. This legal hurdle adds complexity

[01:02:47] to an unconventional plan. Yeah, somebody's going to just put him the beneficiary. Why do you have to adopt him? I don't know how the law works over there, but I'm sure the family could contest it. But whatever. You know, make a video. Say I'm doing it.

[01:03:06] Fuck all you guys. Puig's history with the Hermes reveals underlying tensions, particularly his departure from the company's supervising board in 2014 after a hostile takeover attempt by fashion rival LVMH Louis Vuitton. The feud with family members who resisted the takeover by forming a holding company appears to his

[01:03:27] influence as Puig's choice of an unconventional heir. This is like succession. Yes. With my boyfriend, Brian Cox. It's the third largest publicly listed company in France. I bet you L'Oreal's higher. The L'Oreal family. I think they're the bomb. The bomb. Well, we'll see.

[01:03:47] We'll have an update on that. Can an 80 year old adopt a 51 year old? If so, I'm available. Is there anybody out there? Well, Cher's almost 80. She could adopt me. Stevie. Jelly is not old enough. Snoop's younger than me and I thought he was way older than me

[01:04:08] just because he's been around so long and he's cool. OK, this is this is creepy to me, but maybe not to all adults. Disney announces plans to develop residential community in North Carolina. Disney's latest venture isn't a theme park or a movie, but a residential community.

[01:04:31] It's called Asteria. The announcement of Asteria has left locals with skepticism and curiosity, likening the idea to something out of a dystopian novel. I'm feeling too many rules already and I haven't even read this whole article. Settled in Pittsburgh, Chatham County, Chatham County,

[01:04:53] just outside of the triangle area of Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill, Lou's favorite place on Earth, Chapel Hill. I like Durham barbecue and Raleigh barbecue is my favorite in the whole world. Although I did go to Joe's barbecue in Kansas City because even though Arthur

[01:05:07] Bryant's is my favorite, Joe's ribs are my favorite. The gas station one, you have to go to the gas station one. That's the original. It's very fun and they run it really well. If you pull up and there's a giant line, don't be freaked out.

[01:05:20] It moves like lightning. Donna Kelsey can stand in that line. So can you just say in terms of she stands in it and they told her you can just come inside and cut the line. She goes, no, standing in lines part of the fun.

[01:05:32] Anyway, so that's where this place is going to be. Asteria is the brainchild of story living by Disney, a Walt Disney Company initiative. It's the second Disney themed community in the works. The United States following the Cotino community in Rancho Mirage, California.

[01:05:49] Well, I can see it in Rancho Mirage, California, because everything's super organized out there. That's like it's very organized. Asteria aims to materialize with the collaboration of Disney's legendary Imagineers. The project intends to create a community inspired by Walt Disney's innate curiosity and passion for learning spanning fifteen

[01:06:10] hundred acres. The Envisioned Community will feature neighborhood walking paths, parks, walking trails and bike paths. It will pay homage to the wonder of the night. Homeowners will gain an access to an exclusive club named after the state's Esther Flower and Greek goddess Asteria.

[01:06:31] The community plans to house more than 4000 residential units ranging from single family to multifamily homes. Oh, some will accommodate just adults 55 and older. It's slated for completion by 2027. They're going up against the villages. They are going up against the villages. You are not going to defeat the villages.

[01:06:53] No, you're not. A lot of people have mixed feelings about it. I don't know. I mean, I just don't want to live in something that's organized because it's too there's if you if you advertise we're a super anal organized place, you're going to attract those people.

[01:07:09] And then there's always going to be that weirdo that drives around in the golf cart. I've seen it with my mom and dad shit that points out other people's flaws. And like your grass is too high. You can't have that Easter sign out. Whatever. It sounds very dystopian.

[01:07:24] Others echoed similar opinions and concerns about what of an influx of Disney adults, millennials, oftentimes childless childless ones. Who's got to say that? You don't know that infatuated with Disney culture. Some compared the idea to a plotline from the show Succession referencing a failed luxury assisted living

[01:07:44] community in the areas. I forgot they had that in the show. Yeah. Yeah, I don't. The homes are they'll range from the upper one million to lower two million dollar bracket. And that's that's not good either because now you've got people that

[01:08:00] have spent a lot and then there's going to be a lot of homeowners meetings and bullshit. Wow. I would just keep receiving notifications that I hadn't voted or yeah. Mail will be this high. You weren't at any meetings. Asshole. Um. So I don't know.

[01:08:20] North Carolina termites get out there, take some videos. Is it what's happening? I want to know. This story made me want to. I just I don't I do. Sometimes I go, OK, I don't ever do like a pop gossip except for Queen and King News. But Felicity Huffman,

[01:08:40] the one who had the admitted the child or child is like a moron. Right. She's dumb. Well, you know what? I couldn't have scored good enough on an SAT to get into Yale or Harvard either. So put me in the moron group.

[01:08:57] But this one would brag about how she didn't go to class and put it online. Yeah. On Tick-Tock. Yeah. So I'm at UCLA and I don't really do anything. I don't even know where the buildings are like a who. I may have not been keeping up

[01:09:10] right, but I was smart enough to not tell people. My God. She said this is the college admission scandal. This is out of touch. You can be. I had to give my daughter a chance at a future. So you think if your kid doesn't go

[01:09:24] to one of the top five schools in the country, the child has no future. I don't know if you notice University of Missouri slash Southern Illinois sitting right here in a Bucky's outfit and a blinking chief's hat with catnip toys and eggnog. Life is fine.

[01:09:39] This house is paid for. The cats are well fed. You have staff? You can. I am. I'm a CEO, for Christ's sake. That's how I sign my taxes. Oh, my God. She believes this. This is just she talk about still not getting it.

[01:10:03] Make your kid go work at Starbucks. Every one of the children that work at Starbucks, I feel sorry for because I couldn't do that job. I would kill people. It would just come down to coffee. That's all you can have. I'm not making any bullshit drinks.

[01:10:15] They seem to enjoy it, but they all work hard. And for the most part, they're all in a very good mood. Now, some of them have gone a little too far with that. I went in one. I actually believe it was in North Carolina.

[01:10:28] The music was so loud and like I didn't really care because I don't have any serious work to do. But some guy was sitting there on his computer and he went up and asked the kids, hey, is there any way you can

[01:10:39] turn on the music? And they were like, no. I was like, wow, they don't even care about the customer asking. There is like we're having a great time. And this is what we do to stay motivated. I was like, wow, that was amazing. And the guy was like 50, 45,

[01:10:55] 50. He just went, OK, what are you going to say? They told you no. Felicity Huffman has opened up about her role in the college admissions scandal that landed her in federal prison saying, I've it felt like I had to give my daughter a chance at

[01:11:10] the future, which meant I had to break the law. She was among 33 wealthy parents arrested in Operation Varsity Blues and accused of conspiring to get their kids into college. Well, yes, they were. She was accused of paying 15000 dollars to the scams mastermind to raise her daughter's SAT scores.

[01:11:26] She pleaded guilty. First of all, if my SAT scores sucked, which they did. Well, I never took it. I took the ACT because in the Midwest you can take that. I heard I heard that the SAT had more math and science. So I was like, I'm out.

[01:11:41] Where's the one where I can bullshit on an essay thing? Is there a creative writing one? I'm on that one. Yeah. What about history? That doesn't count for nothing. Come on. I know every World War Two battle. Come on, ask me. She pleaded she pleaded guilty to

[01:11:56] committing mail fraud and on an honest services mail fraud. I know in hindsight is 2020, but I feel like I would have been a bad mother if I didn't do it. This is how much control these kids have over the parents. You're a bad mother because I didn't

[01:12:11] pay attention or I'm just a moron. I don't know if I'm just can't do it. Oh, she said she's ashamed. And she did apologize. Susan's a family. The sacrifice really hard to get where they're going. So that's why she did it. She would. Her husband, who's actor

[01:12:30] William Macy, was not charged. I just don't know where these parents start thinking that their kids are whole life is going to be a train wreck if they don't go to Harvard. There's a million kids at University of Michigan, University of Arizona, Missouri, Kansas.

[01:12:45] I mean, we think we all are just going to fail. No, all of us. This is what happens when you hang out with the same like crowd too much and you don't realize that there's nothing normal about what you just said, lady. Nothing.

[01:13:01] She kept saying to me, can we get ice cream afterwards? I'm scared about the test. What can we do that's fun? And I just kept thinking, turn around, just turn around. And she she responded to that. Like, I would ask my parents, what can we do for fun?

[01:13:17] I feel scared. She did perform her community service. That's good. It's just such a twisted view of reality. Yes, reality. There's a million people attending normal schools that are going to lap your child. She's trying to bring some good blah, blah, blah. Wow. Your kids going to she's

[01:13:48] going to just die if you don't get to go to this school. It's amazing. Just amazing. She wants to go to football games. She doesn't want to go to school. Right. Right. A couple more things that will wrap this up. But this one has

[01:14:03] me interested because I really like art. Minnesota is getting a new state flag. Minnesota termites. Where you at? There's one that is by far and away my favorite. It does not say who did it. It's got waves and simplicity is my favorite.

[01:14:17] So I like South Carolina's the best. Just a palm tree and the moon. Wonderful. This one's got a loon, the moon, waves and a star. Yeah. Well, they've got more than twenty five hundred designs and submissions. They're switching the flag. Their old flag. Well, there's some

[01:14:34] problems with you. They're trying to capture the true essence of the North Star State with its endless lakes and vaguely menacing waterfall. What a strange way to call a loon, a vaguely menacing waterfall. They've sent in over twenty five hundred submissions for redesigns

[01:14:54] of the state flag and the state sealant fall goes well. Spring of twenty twenty four. State flags are a matter of pride and endless controversy. Minnesota's situation is no different. The current flag is unremarkable at first glance. When you see it at first glance,

[01:15:07] there's like a thing in the middle and it's got a lot of things in the thing. But it's called the medallion. The medallion. Well, you can't really see what's in there anyway. So tiny. It's ineffective. I didn't like the first choice. It's the seal of Minnesota.

[01:15:21] And we don't mean a seal that barks like on a duck. No, there wouldn't be any. However, critics have long taken issue with the depiction of an indigenous American on horseback at the center of the seal, which is read as a reference to the displacement

[01:15:38] of Native people throughout Minnesota's history. Calls for a simple change came back. Go back as far as 1968 when the Minnesota Human Rights Commissioners asked the Secretary of State change the flag. And then it never happened. In 2023, Minnesota legislature passed a bill. Legislature has a bill to redesign

[01:15:57] the flag and the seal with the help of blah, blah, blah. So if you're a Minnesotan, what do you do? Oh, here's the seal. L'Etoile du Nord. The Star of the North. See, I remember my L'Etoile. L'Etoile du Nord. I remember my French. The North Star. Mm hmm.

[01:16:17] Mm hmm. Go look at the one I like, the one I'll put in this notes, the one I like the best. Here's here's some crazy shit. This should be part of the Disney thing. Anal people. If you're worried about things. Doomsday breaker community. Doomsday community wants people to

[01:16:36] live in five hundred seventy five bunkers for when, quote, all hell breaks loose. Yep. This exists. I will never, ever, ever understand why anyone wants to survive something that was so horrific or is horrific that's happening. I need to crawl underground and live in a bunker with strangers.

[01:16:54] Right. It's my thing. My mom's thing. If there's something bad, we're all going to meet at the farm. And then what, mom? I'm going to spend the rest of my life with you and dad in a cabin with no heat and mice. There's mice everywhere.

[01:17:08] This hunting cabin is filled with mice. There's also I don't know if you've noticed, mom. Twenty thousand ladybugs in the cabin that have either died or sleeping. I don't know if they're asleep. I can't tell if they're frozen. I don't know what that I'm not.

[01:17:22] We're not spending the rest of our lives. We're going to end our lives. We're just going to jump off the cliff. Anyway, a doomsday community is in search of residents to live in its five hundred seventy five bunkers, which reportedly can fit up to ten thousand people

[01:17:36] in the Black Hills Mountain Range in South Dakota, a former army base which stored munitions has been repurposed into bunkers the base has been transformed into livable bunkers aimed at providing an epic humanitarian survival project, not for just the top one percent. This guy, Danny Dante

[01:17:55] Vicino, he runs the doomsday bunkers. Can you imagine? No. You can reserve your spot right now. You think all hell's breaking loose? He said members of the doomsday group are not preppers or the elite, but well-educated average people who want to protect their family during uncertain times.

[01:18:16] If something is that apocalyptic when you here's my other thing. Let's say you buy your bunker and somebody goes, hey, man, I think the shit shows over. Well, I got to get back out and fix it. All right. I'd rather just go when the party's over. Party's over.

[01:18:32] Their economic profile is so diverse from a little. You hold on. They have TVs and couches. When everyone else will be scrambling for a solution, our members will journey to their designated shelters joined by hundreds of like minded people all prepared to lock

[01:18:48] the blast door and ride out whatever threats may be going on above. Last door, a blast door like a. Yeah. The shelters are reportedly outfitted for a minimum of one year of autonomous operation without people needing to return to the surface. I don't live underground for. No.

[01:19:07] No, no. With other crazy people. We're living in very dangerous times. Making the need to have a life insurance shelter solution is a must have for those who want to survive these extinction level events. Extinction level events. Can you bring my cats? Nobody's saying anything about that. Yeah.

[01:19:30] They have necessities furnished. I mean, what do I mean? Like canned tuna. This is not life. Is there a bar? Nobody's mentioned that. But there's not. Here's what's in it. The living area comes with a sofa, a rug and a coffee table. Oh, that's fun, right?

[01:19:50] And guess what your TV is going to have on it? Nothing. There's no sports. I can't gamble. There's probably not good Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi will be destroyed by whatever apocalyptic event. Right. We're gonna be back on wonky talkies. You're given four options. Plan A comes with four twin rooms,

[01:20:09] one double room, one bedroom and one bathroom. B comes with four twin rooms, one double, one bathroom, one wet room. Is that a bar? What's a wet room? Plan C, two twin rooms, one double room and a master bedroom with an en suite and one bathroom.

[01:20:23] Lastly, plan D provides eight single bedrooms and three bathrooms. That one? He said applications are up over 200,000 percent year after year. I don't believe that. Now, it's not merely concrete steel blasters, but having a backup plan for mankind to survive and for families to have the opportunity to

[01:20:46] potentially be part of a like minded community as these events unfold. This sounds a lot like Doomsday Preppers to me. And what's amazing to me about that show Doomsday Preppers is that like I have normal friends that can't they can't find a spouse.

[01:21:03] Right. They go on weird dates on Bumble and Tim Tinder or whatever. And yet a Doomsday Prepper, they all have a spouse. I'm like, how did you meet online? Hey, do you think the world's going to end soon? Are you stockpiling canned goods? So am I.

[01:21:17] Oh, my God. That's so exciting. We're going to do two more things to write. Here's some great news for nappers. I love napping. Daytime napping may benefit brain health, according to a research. Yes. By the University College of London, the Suttish study published

[01:21:38] found that napping is linked to larger brain volume, reducing the risk of dementia. Now, I'm not going to keep going because they always go, you should limit your nap to 27 minutes. No, the nap lasts as long as it lasts. And then we're also going to tell you

[01:21:55] people how to do an Irish goodbye at your Christmas parties. Because apparently on The Today Show, I don't know if it's the children. I don't think it's the children because I think the children leave whenever they goddamn well want to leave, which is good for them.

[01:22:08] But a lot of people get stuck at parties and they don't know how to leave. And then you have to do something. You have to do what's called an Irish goodbye. And I did not. I did not know people didn't know how to do this.

[01:22:19] Should I tell the story about Dr. Phil? No. No? Why not? Now, it don't matter. Well, no, you're right. I probably should. But he was a nice guy. But I had to teach Dr. Phil what an Irish goodbye was. And he completely fucked it up.

[01:22:38] I'm like, oh, my God, was I not specific enough how we're getting out of here? I was just at an event. No, I'm not going to tell the whole story. No, I'm just going to say I was at a public event and Dr. Phil, who

[01:22:50] I'd done the show a couple times. I did man on the streets things about tattoos people regretted, whatever. I did my comedian part. He was very nice. So was the wife, Robin. And he likes comedy. He's a big serious XM guy. And so we

[01:23:06] got to talk and stuff and sat by one another at this event and we hated the food. They brought out like an Amuse bouche and then some other bullshit. And I'm like, God damn it. I'm really hungry. And I plan on drinking tonight and I can't drink a

[01:23:18] lot if this is what we're eating. And he agreed he wanted a steak. I go me too. And Robin will go along with whatever. So he's like, but I don't think we can leave now. We have to do an Irish goodbye. And for what all you people don't

[01:23:33] know that what that is is usually at an Irish event. There's a there's a bewitching hour where everyone's hammered. You just leave. Don't say goodbye to anyone. Just leave because the other drunk people in the morning will not realize when you left because they won't remember.

[01:23:53] But that's why the Irish part in there is because there's usually a lot of drinking involved. Just be the first one out. And go. But the key is exit subtly and don't say goodbye. No. All right. Nobody will know when you left. Right.

[01:24:09] Well, Dr. Phil didn't get it, but he wasn't drinking and I had hardly anything to drink at the time. But we really needed to get out right then because if you stayed any longer, I saw the appetizers and that's enough for me.

[01:24:22] I don't need to keep going with this meal because so far I've eaten none of it. I don't even know what it is and I don't want to know. One looked like an octopus, something. I don't know. And I'm like, this is not, um, OK,

[01:24:34] going to be drinking tonight kind of food. So this is like I'm at a weird taste testing of weird food. So I told him, here's how we're getting out. And instead of a subtle exit, meaning there's 18 doors he has place. He walked right up that center.

[01:24:55] Like, oh, my God. Then he brought his car around and starts calling my phone. Where are you at? Where am I at? I'm walking around the side of the building, which is low key. And I'm going to come out there. And if you could please back the car

[01:25:09] up from the front. I have never laughed at. People have so many things that people are like, just say you're affected with a benign you know, illness, a stomach ache. You don't need to go into all that or just do what my brother says.

[01:25:33] Just tell people you have diarrhea. Nothing else is said. They go, oh, OK. They're not going to comment. No. Here's how it works. This is their article, but I already told you how it works. Do not wave. Do not make excuses. Do not say goodbye.

[01:25:50] Like make like Criss Angel and simply disappear. If you pull it off successfully, no one will ever have any idea how long you stayed or what time you left. Yep. It's first. Why is it called an Irish exit? For as long as anyone can remember,

[01:26:03] there have been conflicts between the Catholics and the Protestants in Ireland. But some say the turn originated during the 19th century potato famine where there was a mass exodus of Irish people headed for the US. Others claim that it has more with

[01:26:15] the disappearing act has to do with more with Irish Americans propensity for the drink and a need to make a quick exit in order to avoid confrontation or embarrassment about how they've gotten. Yes, exactly. Yeah. In the famine, somebody some historian really wants to put like

[01:26:31] just a drunken night up to some momentous thing in history. Well, remember the fact nobody in the famine was like, hey, how do we do the Irish? Leaving Ireland is not an Irish goodbye. I'm sure they all said goodbye to their relatives. It's very sad.

[01:26:45] Nobody wants to leave. Nobody went, hey, where's Bob? I heard he went to Cincinnati. What? What? No. You mean from the party last night? And there were no parties during the famine. Come on. Yeah, that's where the term, though, don't drink the soup when people

[01:27:03] went, oh, he drank the soup. It's because if you took the soup from the Protestants, if you're a Catholic, they'd feed you. But you had to say you'd be a Protestant. And a lot of us said, no, we're not doing that. Even though, you know,

[01:27:16] it wasn't the religion. Now you just got my Irish up. Fuck you. You know, then it just becomes some stupid Irish standoff. I will sit here. Will you watch me starve myself to death? Asshole. I will stand here and not eat your soup.

[01:27:27] I don't even really wouldn't even have cared about the religion part. Now it's just become a matter of you're telling me to do something and you didn't ask politely. So guess what? Go fuck yourself. Is it rude? No, it's not rude.

[01:27:44] No, because no one will know you did it. That's right. Your mental health is worth it. Children. All right. We're going to finish with two quotes. My Bucky's outfit's getting a little hot. Let's Tay-Tay. We'll go with Tay-Tay first. Tomorrow's her birthday. She'll be in Kansas City.

[01:28:04] Today's her birthday. Oh, right. Today. If I were her, I would just like to recommend if she's listening to go to the Tinseltown pop up bar. Absolutely wonderful. And they served alcohol in this giant leg with a high heel, like one of those things from the movie.

[01:28:19] And in the airport, I saw Lady Carrying One. Well done, ma'am. And she's taking it home. Taylor said in 2014 to the New York Daily News, I've learned that just because someone is cute and wants to date you, that's not a reason to sacrifice your independence. Oh, girl.

[01:28:36] All right. But I also don't think going on a date sacrificing independence. Well, she means if you're in a relationship. When she was young, just go out and let somebody pay for your pizza. Why not? She doesn't need it. Dolly. Let's see what Dolly's got.

[01:29:01] Well, I'll read to reflecting on her prolific approach to songwriting to Dan Rather. Dan Rather said one of I love watching Dan. I like Dan Rather. I do. But he is getting very old. And sometimes he the interviews are still good on that thing.

[01:29:19] I tape them, whatever, because he gets all the old people I like to see. Like, but he had Anne Wilson from Hard On It. I'm like, I'm not going to watch that. He had Anne Wilson from Hard On It. And she said she quit drinking wine.

[01:29:31] And he goes, so how long have you been off the grape? It's something old people used to say. Oh, he's on the grape, meaning he's a drunk and wine is a drunk of choice. Just on the grape. I mean, dear God. Dolly said, reflecting on her

[01:29:48] prolific approach to songwriting, I got songs stuck everywhere. I pull out a drawer to get some panties. I'll find a song in there. Reflecting on what she'd like written on her tombstone. She wants it to say, you think she's here, but she ain't. OK. That's some East Tennessee

[01:30:07] advice. That's what she's going to put. All right, termites. Go have yourself a fun Christmas week. Nowhere. Oh, next year? Yeah, I'm going to the Titans game on Sunday. That's what I know. I'll reiterate the dates. Let me find my cheat sheet. Wichita, Tulsa, Santa Rosa, Wheatland,

[01:30:33] San Luis Obispo, Monterey, Birmingham, Alabama, Scottsdale, Chattanooga, Huntsville, Royal Oak, Royal Oak. Two in Royal Oak. Saturdays, I don't know. Well, I think it's sold out, but it's time they drop marketing comps, which means there'll be good seats. The ones they hold.

[01:30:49] But I want to get them sold before Christmas. Indianapolis, Dayton, San Antonio. Yeah. So I am going to Texas. Maybe I maybe that maybe it'll be there by then. Yeah. Well, I think does it end of 2024? I'm going to San Antonio on March 22nd, March 23rd.

[01:31:03] Austin, Marietta, Ohio, Cincinnati, Ohio, Tarrytown, New York, Wilmington, Delaware, Thousand Oaks, California. Yeah, that's just what we got now. There's lots of things being added. There's some Canadian treats. I'm not going to say where they're coming up in the fall. So Canada, hang on. I'm making it happen.

[01:31:25] And it's already becoming a pain in my ass, but I do it because I do the work of the Lord. People want it. I would show up and then I'll get a tax bill that says you need to pay for eight Canadian families health

[01:31:35] insurance for the next 20 years. Because you performed here and I don't think you read the rules properly. But when we said we would offer you a shit ton of money, what we meant was are but we're going to take it back.

[01:31:50] But as long as somebody has a blue light for me. And some Montreal meat pizza, smoked meat pizza. It is hard to find except in Montreal. Poutine, you know, I just a lot of Canadians are going to probably hate me for this.

[01:32:10] But me and Lou split some poutine at an A&W. It was fantastic. Right there in the parking lot. I'm like, look, Lou, there's an A&W. Yeah. Right from the hotel. I'm like, that's where we're going to lunch right there. And who knew they were serving

[01:32:26] poutine in there? It was delicious. All right. That's it. Go be Christmas termites and Hanukkah termites. My Christmas shopping is terrible. I haven't done shit yet, but I have a lot of things for the cats. It's gonna be a great Christmas for them. It's gonna be great.

[01:32:43] I have things for the kids, but I don't really have anything. It's very hard when your parents are 407 years old to think what else can I get them. I'm out of ideas. I'm going to Missouri. Yes, I'll be trudging on up the road soon enough.

[01:32:59] Yeah. So that'll be fun. And then just really want to hang out with baby cat. Yeah. She's not happy with this road schedule. God. Surprise, she's not up here right now. All right.
