[00:00:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Hey everybody, it's me, Kathleen Madigan. Welcome to Madigan's Pubcast. You grab yourself a drink, pull up a bar stool, let's talk about what's been going on.

[00:00:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Episode 197, we have many things to say about Stevie. We'll get to that. She had a very busy weekend.

[00:00:34] [SPEAKER_02]: What are we drinking? Well, how fun is this? Because I was in Vermont, these people flew all the way from Chicago to the show and then brought me the Von Trapp Brewing. The Von Trapp family.

[00:00:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I know the thing was only 40 minutes away, but...

[00:00:48] [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of shit going on.

[00:00:49] [SPEAKER_02]: There was a lot of stuff going on that day. It's a Pilsner Bohemian style lager and there's a 12 pack.

[00:00:57] Oh cool!

[00:00:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, and I love a Pilsner, so boom.

[00:01:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Nice.

[00:01:01] [SPEAKER_02]: And just that the Von Trapp has their own brink, good idea.

[00:01:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Well done.

[00:01:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I really want to go to the mansion someday, because I love the sound of music, but...

[00:01:08] [SPEAKER_00]: That's freaking on sight.

[00:01:09] [SPEAKER_02]: That's what I mean.

[00:01:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:01:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean in their own deal. But I didn't make it this time. I had too many other things going on.

[00:01:16] That's okay.

[00:01:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. It was fun. It was a drive from... We'll get to that.

[00:01:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:01:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, and what are we going to try and eat? Well, we're going to try. I was kind of surprised nobody brought syrup backstage.

[00:01:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe they're over it.

[00:01:31] [SPEAKER_02]: I think they're over it.

[00:01:32] [SPEAKER_02]: And I would be too.

[00:01:33] [SPEAKER_02]: The gas station was selling gallons. An actual gallon. A jug. A jug of syrup.

[00:01:37] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, whoever has said to their roommate or significant other, hey, while you're down at the gas station, get me a gallon of syrup.

[00:01:46] [SPEAKER_02]: A gallon? What the fuck are you going to do with a gallon of syrup?

[00:01:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I guess it let... Does it stay good forever?

[00:01:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Probably.

[00:01:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:01:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I don't know.

[00:01:55] [SPEAKER_02]: No, it's got sugar in it.

[00:01:56] [SPEAKER_02]: I like Aunt Jemima, but they've changed the name and I couldn't even find it in the grocery store when I went looking for it for frozen waffles.

[00:02:01] [SPEAKER_02]: It's good.

[00:02:02] [SPEAKER_02]: It's called something else now. Like first, they changed the whole deal.

[00:02:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:02:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Because they finally got around to, hey, that's a little racist.

[00:02:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:02:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Only took them like 80 years, but okay.

[00:02:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's approve that.

[00:02:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe we could approve it.

[00:02:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Or I don't know.

[00:02:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Ask people to vote.

[00:02:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:02:18] [SPEAKER_02]: It still tastes as good.

[00:02:20] [SPEAKER_02]: It's just, if you think you can't find it, it's because it now looks like the grocery store generic.

[00:02:25] It's called the Pearl Milling Company.

[00:02:27] [SPEAKER_02]: The Pearl Milling Company.

[00:02:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Is this too much information for the general public?

[00:02:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:02:30] [SPEAKER_02]: It's just for other people that like syrup.

[00:02:32] [SPEAKER_02]: So this is Cabot Farm Pepper Jack Seasoned Cheese Popcorn.

[00:02:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Nice.

[00:02:36] [SPEAKER_02]: This is from Vermont Termites, Tom and Annie.

[00:02:39] [SPEAKER_02]: I got a lot of stuff for Troy too.

[00:02:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I'll say thank you at the end.

[00:02:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Hmm.

[00:02:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I do.

[00:02:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Pretty good.

[00:02:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:02:53] [SPEAKER_02]: B plus.

[00:02:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Wow.

[00:02:55] [SPEAKER_00]: It's a long way for a B plus.

[00:02:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, it's kind of soft.

[00:02:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[00:03:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:03:00] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what's non-GMO kernels.

[00:03:04] [SPEAKER_02]: What's that mean?

[00:03:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:03:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't either.

[00:03:06] [SPEAKER_02]: They're healthy.

[00:03:06] [SPEAKER_02]: They've been making them.

[00:03:08] [SPEAKER_02]: It's from the Cooperative Farm family since 1919.

[00:03:11] Nice.

[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:03:12] [SPEAKER_02]: A little Vermont company.

[00:03:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Well done.

[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Good for you guys.

[00:03:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.

[00:03:15] [SPEAKER_02]: It's just a little...

[00:03:18] [SPEAKER_02]: It's still in my...

[00:03:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I can see that.

[00:03:20] [SPEAKER_02]: ...between my implant and my other crown and my other implant.

[00:03:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Nice.

[00:03:27] [SPEAKER_02]: I want to save those for that.

[00:03:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:03:30] [SPEAKER_02]: That Haribo football mix.

[00:03:32] [SPEAKER_02]: It's got footballs in here.

[00:03:34] [SPEAKER_00]: I hope so.

[00:03:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:03:37] [SPEAKER_02]: It's all the things in football, I think.

[00:03:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:03:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Let me see.

[00:03:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, no.

[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_02]: They're all this...

[00:03:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, no.

[00:03:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Here's a football.

[00:03:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Nice.

[00:03:45] [SPEAKER_02]: This looks like a fish.

[00:03:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it's a helmet.

[00:03:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I get it.

[00:03:49] [SPEAKER_02]: They did not nail it.

[00:03:51] [SPEAKER_02]: They did not nail it.

[00:03:52] [SPEAKER_02]: I can already tell you.

[00:03:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh-uh.

[00:03:55] [SPEAKER_02]: No?

[00:03:55] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:03:56] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:03:57] [SPEAKER_02]: They're not like real gummy bears.

[00:03:59] [SPEAKER_03]: No.

[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_02]: They're cute.

[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Kids will like them.

[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Give them to your kids.

[00:04:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Rot their teeth out.

[00:04:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Who brought those?

[00:04:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, I do appreciate it though.

[00:04:07] [SPEAKER_02]: That's from Heather and Shan.

[00:04:10] [SPEAKER_00]: That probably saved you $9.

[00:04:11] [SPEAKER_02]: It did.

[00:04:12] [SPEAKER_02]: And it said kids and grownups will love them too.

[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_02]: I think kids more, but let me see what other shapes there are.

[00:04:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I could turn this into a gambling game.

[00:04:19] [SPEAKER_02]: I bet you I get five helmets.

[00:04:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, I don't know what that's supposed...

[00:04:23] [SPEAKER_02]: That one's supposed to be.

[00:04:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Here's a shoe.

[00:04:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Football shoe.

[00:04:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh-huh.

[00:04:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Helmet.

[00:04:28] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:04:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Boom.

[00:04:32] [SPEAKER_02]: No?

[00:04:32] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:04:33] [SPEAKER_02]: No?

[00:04:34] [SPEAKER_02]: That's too hard.

[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Pedals, you can't have it off right.

[00:04:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Jesus.

[00:04:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, this is a...

[00:04:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, the finger that people bring, the stuffed finger that they put on.

[00:04:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Foam finger.

[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, foam finger.

[00:04:44] [SPEAKER_02]: All right.

[00:04:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, and a trophy.

[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Ha ha!

[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_02]: It's fun.

[00:04:47] [SPEAKER_02]: You could turn that into a great gambling game if you're bored with the thing.

[00:04:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Turn it into gambling.

[00:04:52] [SPEAKER_02]: That's what makes everything fun in life.

[00:04:54] [SPEAKER_02]: The last one, this is from...

[00:04:57] [SPEAKER_02]: These are Deep River sour cream and onion crinkle chips from a Zoomer termite, Catherine, that

[00:05:04] [SPEAKER_02]: thinks I should run for vice president.

[00:05:06] [SPEAKER_02]: So that's my old joke.

[00:05:07] [SPEAKER_02]: So I get the jet, but not the problems.

[00:05:09] Oh!

[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's the best.

[00:05:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, if Kamala wins or Trumpy wins, J.D. Vance or Tim Waltz have the best gig ever

[00:05:17] [SPEAKER_02]: in life, according to me.

[00:05:19] [SPEAKER_02]: But I'm not a type A go-getter.

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh-uh.

[00:05:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Mmm.

[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_00]: They're eating football gummies.

[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, these are very good.

[00:05:28] [SPEAKER_02]: That's nice.

[00:05:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Deep River snacks.

[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, gluten-free.

[00:05:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:05:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Thank God.

[00:05:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, where are these?

[00:05:34] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't understand where these are from.

[00:05:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Hold on.

[00:05:36] [SPEAKER_02]: They're from Vermont.

[00:05:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, they're from Vermont?

[00:05:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:05:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh.

[00:05:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it's distributed by Atlanta, but yeah.

[00:05:44] [SPEAKER_02]: All right.

[00:05:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Good.

[00:05:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Well done, Termites.

[00:05:48] [SPEAKER_02]: On the front it says.

[00:05:51] [SPEAKER_02]: It says because we give a chip.

[00:05:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh.

[00:05:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Instead of give a shit.

[00:05:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Nah, they thought it was funny.

[00:05:56] [SPEAKER_02]: See?

[00:05:56] [SPEAKER_02]: You laughed.

[00:05:57] [SPEAKER_02]: All right.

[00:05:58] [SPEAKER_02]: They're winning.

[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_02]: All right.

[00:06:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, where are we going?

[00:06:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh my gosh.

[00:06:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Salt Lake City this weekend.

[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Nice.

[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Very exciting.

[00:06:08] [SPEAKER_02]: To Kingsbury Hall, darling.

[00:06:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Kingsbury Hall.

[00:06:11] [SPEAKER_00]: That I didn't?

[00:06:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:06:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Are you excited?

[00:06:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm very excited to go to Salt Lake.

[00:06:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:06:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:06:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, it's far, but you know, on Delta, nothing's far.

[00:06:25] [SPEAKER_02]: It's so comfortable.

[00:06:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I'm so sorry.

[00:06:27] [SPEAKER_02]: No, I have, I really need a long flight to get shit done.

[00:06:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:06:31] [SPEAKER_02]: These tiny flights.

[00:06:32] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:06:32] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't get anything done.

[00:06:33] [SPEAKER_02]: And then the tinier, like from, uh, Burlington to Detroit, it was a tiny plane and I was so

[00:06:38] [SPEAKER_02]: fucking cold.

[00:06:40] [SPEAKER_02]: And so was the guy next to me.

[00:06:41] [SPEAKER_02]: So it made me feel good.

[00:06:42] [SPEAKER_02]: It wasn't just me.

[00:06:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh huh.

[00:06:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Those tiny planes, where it's one seat on one side, two on the other.

[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_02]: They're always cold.

[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like they don't have any insulation at all.

[00:06:51] [SPEAKER_02]: And then you have to ask the pilot.

[00:06:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Can somebody ask up front who's got the heat button?

[00:06:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Who's got the thermostat?

[00:06:56] [SPEAKER_02]: And the flight attendants are like, oh, do you think it's warm in here?

[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh my God, lady.

[00:06:59] [SPEAKER_02]: It's freezing.

[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, yes, it's freezing.

[00:07:01] [SPEAKER_02]: That man is 40 years old and has a giant blanket over him.

[00:07:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I can't fit on my screwdriver.

[00:07:06] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:07:06] [SPEAKER_02]: How am I supposed to enjoy a screwdriver with gummy bears at this hour in the morning?

[00:07:10] [SPEAKER_02]: I love though the Delta flight attendants never at.

[00:07:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Look at you weird.

[00:07:13] [SPEAKER_02]: You're like, look, I got a two hour nap.

[00:07:15] [SPEAKER_02]: I really haven't been to bed.

[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm still drinking.

[00:07:17] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not that I've started drinking.

[00:07:19] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm still drinking.

[00:07:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Come on now.

[00:07:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, yes, I'm excited about Salt Lake.

[00:07:23] [SPEAKER_02]: I have a place there.

[00:07:24] [SPEAKER_02]: I cannot think of the name of it that has the best sandwich I've ever eaten in my life.

[00:07:28] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm not a foodie.

[00:07:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I don't really care.

[00:07:31] [SPEAKER_02]: But I sent Lewis there the last time.

[00:07:33] [SPEAKER_02]: And, uh, he took the guys with him, the guys that go on the road with him and they had a wonderful lunch.

[00:07:39] [SPEAKER_02]: And I never have a food recommendation for Lewis.

[00:07:41] [SPEAKER_00]: We'll need a video.

[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I will do a video.

[00:07:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Great.

[00:07:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, then October 25th and 26th Spartanburg, South Carolina and Wilmington, North Carolina.

[00:07:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Fun.

[00:07:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if I've ever been to Spartanburg.

[00:07:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I have.

[00:07:52] [SPEAKER_00]: It's fun.

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Really?

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:07:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I, any of the Carolina stuff I'm in.

[00:07:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Go get barbecue.

[00:07:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Everything's fine.

[00:07:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Nashville, November 9th.

[00:08:00] [SPEAKER_02]: That's exciting at the Ryman historical venue.

[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:08:04] [SPEAKER_02]: November 15th and 16th.

[00:08:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Boston.

[00:08:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Boston.

[00:08:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Very excited.

[00:08:08] [SPEAKER_02]: That'll be with Kelly McFarlane.

[00:08:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Ryman will be with Aaron Weber.

[00:08:12] [SPEAKER_02]: These are the opening acts in case you know them or would like to go look them up.

[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Aaron is very funny.

[00:08:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Kelly is very funny.

[00:08:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Kelly is also Spartanburg and Wilmington and Salt Lake.

[00:08:20] [SPEAKER_02]: The very funny Michael Palaszczak.

[00:08:23] [SPEAKER_02]: That's why I never have the same person.

[00:08:25] Yeah.

[00:08:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Spread it out.

[00:08:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Give everybody a job.

[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_02]: November 23rd.

[00:08:35] [SPEAKER_02]: I keep getting confused.

[00:08:37] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, why did I book myself on Thanksgiving?

[00:08:39] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not.

[00:08:39] [SPEAKER_02]: It's the week if Thanksgiving is late this year.

[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, December 6th.

[00:08:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Shippensburg, PA.

[00:08:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I can honestly say I know I've never been there.

[00:08:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:08:49] [SPEAKER_02]: But the tickets are selling great.

[00:08:51] [SPEAKER_02]: So there's people there and they're excited.

[00:08:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, so yay.

[00:08:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, December 7th, Ben Salem.

[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, that's Parks Casino.

[00:08:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Love that place.

[00:09:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:09:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:09:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, they released more cause I thought it was selling.

[00:09:05] [SPEAKER_02]: So, oh, they did do the casino comp job.

[00:09:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Casino comp job.

[00:09:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:09:10] [SPEAKER_02]: That would be the very last call.

[00:09:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and this weekend was Troy, New York, which was so fun.

[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_02]: And the theater there, the Troy music hall is where they see filmed a bunch of scenes

[00:09:20] [SPEAKER_02]: from the gilded age.

[00:09:22] [SPEAKER_02]: And now I have to go back and watch season one and two so that I can see I, the, they were

[00:09:26] [SPEAKER_02]: filming in the theater in the boxes where if you didn't see it, they, it's on Instagram,

[00:09:31] [SPEAKER_02]: but in the show, it's all about the gilded age of the early 1900s in New York City.

[00:09:35] [SPEAKER_02]: And I did not know that before the Metropolitan Opera, the Met, there was an older one called

[00:09:40] [SPEAKER_02]: the Academy of Music.

[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_02]: And that's where those super blue blood, super rich people.

[00:09:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Then the new money came in and they couldn't get into that one.

[00:09:46] [SPEAKER_02]: So they said, fuck you.

[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like a country club situation.

[00:09:49] [SPEAKER_02]: We'll just open our own.

[00:09:50] [SPEAKER_02]: And so all the, the, uh, opera scenes are filmed in the boxes that were in Detroit music

[00:09:58] [SPEAKER_02]: hall.

[00:09:58] [SPEAKER_02]: It was, it was just a super fun, the whole thing.

[00:10:01] [SPEAKER_02]: And then I found this pub, um, McGeary's and how cool is this?

[00:10:05] [SPEAKER_02]: So this bartender, um, I went in to get lunch and I got a Guinness and a French dip and nothing

[00:10:13] [SPEAKER_02]: was happening in there.

[00:10:15] [SPEAKER_02]: And, um, then at the end, this is the bartender's name.

[00:10:19] [SPEAKER_02]: It was a woman named Alex.

[00:10:20] [SPEAKER_02]: She said, Oh, I'm a fan.

[00:10:22] [SPEAKER_02]: And I, she goes, no, I didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

[00:10:24] [SPEAKER_02]: I go, Oh, that's awesome.

[00:10:25] [SPEAKER_02]: I go, I'm a fan of your bar.

[00:10:27] [SPEAKER_02]: And I didn't think she owned it, which you might've, I don't know.

[00:10:29] [SPEAKER_02]: So, and then, um, I gave her two tickets.

[00:10:31] [SPEAKER_02]: She got to come to the show, made sure she got a free t-shirt.

[00:10:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Cool.

[00:10:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Just every once in a while you get just a, such a cool bartender.

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, because if you come out of the gate with that, then I may have to talk about comedy

[00:10:41] [SPEAKER_02]: for a long time.

[00:10:42] [SPEAKER_02]: And then that particular situation was irritated with something with work.

[00:10:45] [SPEAKER_02]: So I probably didn't want to, um, but it was just a great, if you're ever in Troy

[00:10:50] [SPEAKER_02]: and, uh, then took a three hour drive up to Vermont.

[00:10:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:10:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, I texted my new England friends.

[00:10:57] [SPEAKER_02]: What is everyone's opinion about Vermont?

[00:11:00] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, from you people that live up here, they all have such funny, I can't even say,

[00:11:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I won't say, but the fall colors are beautiful.

[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, there are quite a few hoarders on the way up.

[00:11:11] [SPEAKER_02]: I wasn't expecting that out of Vermont.

[00:11:14] [SPEAKER_02]: I was picturing more Martha Stewart.

[00:11:16] Queen.

[00:11:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Queen.

[00:11:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_02]: And this is a little more like, holy shit.

[00:11:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Look at that house.

[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_02]: I know that's Connecticut.

[00:11:23] [SPEAKER_02]: I know.

[00:11:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Mm hmm.

[00:11:25] God.

[00:11:26] [SPEAKER_02]: But it was absolutely beautiful.

[00:11:27] [SPEAKER_02]: And I can see, see, and Bernie Sanders is running again up there.

[00:11:31] [SPEAKER_02]: He's 82.

[00:11:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh my God.

[00:11:33] [SPEAKER_02]: I saw a bunch of signs.

[00:11:34] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, wait, you mean now?

[00:11:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Or is this an old sign?

[00:11:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:11:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Like that's when you're too old to vote when I don't know if the sign is old or you

[00:11:43] [SPEAKER_02]: are this old.

[00:11:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:11:45] [SPEAKER_02]: If he wins, he will be 88 when he's done.

[00:11:47] Holy shit.

[00:11:48] [SPEAKER_02]: They love him.

[00:11:49] Well, I love him.

[00:11:50] [SPEAKER_02]: They love, I love Bernie.

[00:11:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, but well, I do jokes in my head.

[00:11:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I always think Bernie's right.

[00:11:56] [SPEAKER_02]: It's just his solutions are a little too socialistic for the average person.

[00:12:01] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, there's 400 people that have all the wealth in this country.

[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_02]: And the simplest solution is simple.

[00:12:06] [SPEAKER_02]: We're going to kill those four.

[00:12:07] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:12:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Wow.

[00:12:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Grandpa.

[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think, can we do that?

[00:12:10] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I know they're in fortune magazine.

[00:12:12] [SPEAKER_02]: I can name like 10 of them just from this podcast.

[00:12:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Alice Walton.

[00:12:16] [SPEAKER_02]: That's the Walmart lady.

[00:12:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, the Betancourt lady's French.

[00:12:20] [SPEAKER_02]: We can't kill her.

[00:12:20] [SPEAKER_02]: She's got nothing to do with it.

[00:12:22] [SPEAKER_02]: The L'Oreal.

[00:12:24] [SPEAKER_02]: He just, I, you know, I, Lewis is all about Bernie cause he, Lewis basically would say

[00:12:31] [SPEAKER_02]: he's a socialist, but, um, it's not going to fly in America.

[00:12:35] [SPEAKER_02]: I, and then one time I bought a bobblehead of Bernie on his website to send to Lewis as

[00:12:40] [SPEAKER_02]: a joke.

[00:12:41] [SPEAKER_02]: And then I had to put my credit card shit in.

[00:12:43] [SPEAKER_02]: That was a terrible error.

[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause Oh my God.

[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's not Bernie anymore.

[00:12:47] [SPEAKER_02]: They sell the list.

[00:12:48] [SPEAKER_02]: They sell that shit.

[00:12:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm getting texts from people.

[00:12:50] [SPEAKER_02]: The texts were places where I can't vote.

[00:12:52] Right.

[00:12:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Pennsylvania sent me something to vote for hoopty who who's the, who's this person.

[00:12:56] [SPEAKER_02]: And then it says Pennsylvania block.

[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:12:59] [SPEAKER_02]: It's so annoying.

[00:13:00] [SPEAKER_02]: And when millionaires and billionaires are asking us for $5.

[00:13:06] What are we doing?

[00:13:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:13:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Really?

[00:13:09] [SPEAKER_02]: You need my $5.

[00:13:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, that's your fault.

[00:13:15] [SPEAKER_02]: One more piece of business before we go further.

[00:13:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause I'm super excited.

[00:13:19] [SPEAKER_00]: This is so cool.

[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_02]: And this was just a whim.

[00:13:21] [SPEAKER_02]: So, uh, the graphic artist that does the crazy things for me, Greg, I said, I want to

[00:13:28] [SPEAKER_02]: make a Halloween shirt for the pub cast and I want baby cat to be a princess vampire.

[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Now I know those are confusing.

[00:13:34] [SPEAKER_02]: They're they battle one another princess slash vampire.

[00:13:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I'm going to hold it up for you.

[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_02]: You two people.

[00:13:39] [SPEAKER_02]: He nailed it.

[00:13:41] [SPEAKER_02]: She has a green jewel, like a princess, her create, and they get, he gave her fangs.

[00:13:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I just love it.

[00:13:47] [SPEAKER_02]: And then it says Madigan's podcast.

[00:13:49] [SPEAKER_02]: So those are only online.

[00:13:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, unless I choose to bring merch, which am I taking merch to Salt Lake City?

[00:13:58] [SPEAKER_02]: You are.

[00:13:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I am.

[00:13:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:14:00] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm bringing, will these be going?

[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:14:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, so Salt Lake, if you guys want, that's just a little business area.

[00:14:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Now let's move on.

[00:14:07] [SPEAKER_02]: How much news?

[00:14:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's start with Stevie's.

[00:14:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:14:13] [SPEAKER_02]: We on Saturday night live.

[00:14:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Are we in the court right now?

[00:14:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, we're going, we're in the court.

[00:14:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Queen news.

[00:14:18] [SPEAKER_02]: We have Queen and King news.

[00:14:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:14:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, very exciting.

[00:14:22] [SPEAKER_02]: First of all, if you watched all of Saturday night live and I, I, I recorded it, but I

[00:14:28] [SPEAKER_02]: was back in the hotel in time to see the first half hour.

[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Of course you were.

[00:14:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, yeah.

[00:14:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, cause I had to take a two hour nap to get up for three o'clock for a flight.

[00:14:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, Ariana Grande.

[00:14:38] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't really, honestly, I mean, no termites will care, but I don't really know what she

[00:14:43] [SPEAKER_02]: sings.

[00:14:44] [SPEAKER_02]: And then I was like, I think I did the tonight show with her once.

[00:14:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm .

[00:14:47] [SPEAKER_02]: And then I had to look it up.

[00:14:49] [SPEAKER_02]: No, it was Demi Lovato.

[00:14:50] [SPEAKER_02]: So I, you know, that's probably just youthist on my part.

[00:14:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if it's some child out there singing, but I'm back at the, you know, you

[00:15:00] [SPEAKER_02]: could see it from sides and be like, Oh, who's this young person?

[00:15:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Whatever.

[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, so I have not done the tonight show with her, but she was so good and so funny in the,

[00:15:11] [SPEAKER_02]: the roles where they said, okay, you gotta be the straight man here and you're the serious

[00:15:14] [SPEAKER_02]: person.

[00:15:15] [SPEAKER_02]: She got it.

[00:15:15] [SPEAKER_02]: She nailed it.

[00:15:16] [SPEAKER_02]: And her impression, her impression of Celine Dion.

[00:15:18] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't really think there's anything better.

[00:15:20] [SPEAKER_02]: I've never seen anyone do a better impression.

[00:15:23] [SPEAKER_02]: It was so funny.

[00:15:24] [SPEAKER_02]: The whole thing, Gwen Stefani, she was so good.

[00:15:26] [SPEAKER_02]: And then Stevie came.

[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Yay.

[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Stevie.

[00:15:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, the lighthouse song termites.

[00:15:33] [SPEAKER_02]: I think we all know, I think we could have helped the beginning of that a little bit.

[00:15:38] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a little, so yeah.

[00:15:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, you know, it's a, she, it's a, you know, not to stir up controversy here.

[00:15:46] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a pro, uh, pro choice song about Roe v. Wade.

[00:15:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:15:50] [SPEAKER_02]: She's old enough.

[00:15:51] [SPEAKER_02]: She feels like she can spout that out.

[00:15:53] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, well, the great news is I don't think Stevie has an actual phone, so she won't

[00:15:58] [SPEAKER_02]: see social media and just tell her, don't look on the computer because, um, the, the right

[00:16:04] [SPEAKER_02]: is going to come, come, come looking for you and say mean bad things, mean bad things.

[00:16:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Stevie don't care.

[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:16:12] [SPEAKER_02]: So good for her.

[00:16:13] [SPEAKER_02]: You got your opinion?

[00:16:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Say it out loud.

[00:16:15] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't care if you're an athlete, a singer, a comedian.

[00:16:17] [SPEAKER_02]: If you want to do it, you should be able to do it.

[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_02]: And that doesn't mean you shouldn't like Stevie anymore.

[00:16:21] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, look, I don't agree with Harris, Harrison Butker, the kicker for Kansas City,

[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_02]: but fuck, I'd trade for him in a hot minute.

[00:16:27] [SPEAKER_02]: He's great.

[00:16:28] [SPEAKER_02]: He's great at kicking a ball.

[00:16:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't care what he thinks about what I should do with my life and whose kids I should

[00:16:35] [SPEAKER_02]: raise.

[00:16:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

[00:16:37] [SPEAKER_02]: If you agree with him, good for you.

[00:16:38] [SPEAKER_02]: If you don't, he's a great kicker.

[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Take him off fantasy.

[00:16:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:16:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, then she did Edge of 17 at the end and you just can't top that.

[00:16:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Even Jim Gaffigan put, um, he said that he'd never seen, and he's done Saturday Night

[00:16:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Live a billion times.

[00:16:52] [SPEAKER_02]: He'd never seen the whole cast and crew come side stage to watch somebody perform.

[00:16:57] [SPEAKER_02]: That's cool.

[00:16:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because usually maybe half will come or whatever.

[00:17:01] [SPEAKER_02]: It was always a big deal.

[00:17:03] [SPEAKER_02]: I remember one time I did the Tonight Show with Sade, but I still didn't know how to say

[00:17:09] [SPEAKER_02]: it right.

[00:17:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, Sadie?

[00:17:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Is her name Sadie?

[00:17:12] [SPEAKER_02]: What was the song?

[00:17:13] [SPEAKER_02]: A smooth up of radar.

[00:17:16] [SPEAKER_02]: But she had a whole closed set during the day, which means none of us could come till after

[00:17:20] [SPEAKER_02]: this crazy time.

[00:17:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:17:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:17:22] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, lady, lady, you're no Celine.

[00:17:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:17:27] [SPEAKER_02]: You're no Stevie.

[00:17:28] [SPEAKER_02]: And Stevie didn't even do that.

[00:17:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, I don't know.

[00:17:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe she had a crazy stalker.

[00:17:32] [SPEAKER_02]: You never know what those things, but, um, like I'd say half the people went to go over

[00:17:37] [SPEAKER_02]: to the side to watch Sade.

[00:17:39] True.

[00:17:40] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you're giving me the sweetest taboo.

[00:17:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Never heard that.

[00:17:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:17:46] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:17:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, in love, coast to coast, LA to Chicago.

[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Which every comedian went, they're one of those isn't a coast.

[00:17:55] [SPEAKER_02]: You meant coast to Midwest and Midwest to coast.

[00:18:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Chicago is not a coast.

[00:18:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe there were, maybe Michigan, like Michigan fooled her.

[00:18:04] Yes.

[00:18:05] I don't know.

[00:18:06] It's too hard.

[00:18:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, that's enough of my old work stories, but Stevie did great.

[00:18:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, there you, whoa, I didn't throw, oh, I threw it on the chords.

[00:18:15] [SPEAKER_02]: That's not a good.

[00:18:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Is everything still working?

[00:18:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Everything's up right now.

[00:18:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Great.

[00:18:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:18:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, Stevie did great.

[00:18:21] [SPEAKER_02]: And that's that.

[00:18:22] [SPEAKER_02]: So now, uh, we move on.

[00:18:24] [SPEAKER_02]: She was great.

[00:18:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:18:26] [SPEAKER_00]: I like the course of that song.

[00:18:27] [SPEAKER_02]: The chorus is good.

[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Once she gets going, it's that beginning part.

[00:18:33] It's hard.

[00:18:34] [SPEAKER_02]: And she's 76.

[00:18:35] [SPEAKER_02]: And she doesn't really sing that.

[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_02]: What do we want from people?

[00:18:38] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:18:38] [SPEAKER_02]: And then at one point she just goes, or, in the song says that, says like you can do A

[00:18:43] [SPEAKER_02]: or B, but she goes, or, I'm like, wow, wow, wow.

[00:18:46] [SPEAKER_02]: So somebody, you know, tell her she's talking now.

[00:18:49] [SPEAKER_02]: This is like Dolly Parton's allowed to stop in the middle of a song and talk.

[00:18:52] [SPEAKER_02]: I always call her talking breaks where she's, I wish you joy and happiness and all the things.

[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, wow, we're not, we're not, we're saying we're talk singing now.

[00:19:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, but most of all, I wish you all right.

[00:19:09] [SPEAKER_02]: You guys don't need to hear that.

[00:19:12] [SPEAKER_02]: My thing.

[00:19:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh my God.

[00:19:13] [SPEAKER_02]: At McGeary's I liked it so much in the day.

[00:19:16] [SPEAKER_02]: I went back and it had been taken over by the children.

[00:19:19] [SPEAKER_02]: And they had the jukebox going and they all agreed on every song.

[00:19:22] [SPEAKER_02]: I had never been in a bar like this where they were all singing every single song, but

[00:19:26] [SPEAKER_02]: the, the, the, the Celine Dion song coming back to me now.

[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_02]: No one can sing it.

[00:19:34] [SPEAKER_02]: It was just a train wreck of drunks that were so, but fun, fun, fun drunks in Troy.

[00:19:39] [SPEAKER_02]: But technically that bar's in Albany.

[00:19:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I should give Albany the shout out for McGeary's.

[00:19:43] [SPEAKER_02]: But, um, yeah, it was on Saturdays.

[00:19:47] [SPEAKER_02]: If you get down there about 11, 15, there, those kids with the jukebox are just, cause I was

[00:19:52] [SPEAKER_02]: like, is there someone singing?

[00:19:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:19:53] [SPEAKER_02]: They did a chapel wrong song, but when then the Celine came on, I was like, Oh my God,

[00:19:57] [SPEAKER_02]: this is going to be epic.

[00:19:58] [SPEAKER_02]: So I filmed a little bit of it from the moment you left and did a slamming off the door.

[00:20:07] [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah.

[00:20:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, they were, and they didn't even seem drunk, drunk yet.

[00:20:10] [SPEAKER_02]: They were like pleasantly drunk.

[00:20:12] [SPEAKER_02]: It was just fun.

[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, King news, jelly belly.

[00:20:16] [SPEAKER_02]: He's getting his own bar in Nashville and he's the first person that's actually from

[00:20:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Nashville to have a bar down there.

[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_02]: That's great.

[00:20:23] [SPEAKER_02]: I really hope Garth Brooks didn't do what they said.

[00:20:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause that's going to taint the chicken fingers and the Trisha makes.

[00:20:31] [SPEAKER_02]: And I hope Trisha doesn't lose focus here.

[00:20:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Look, I know your husband's being accused of some terrible things, but could you just,

[00:20:38] [SPEAKER_02]: don't you worry about him?

[00:20:40] [SPEAKER_02]: You keep herbs and spices, herbs and spices.

[00:20:42] [SPEAKER_02]: You keep your focus on the perfect light amount of batter and the perfect amount of

[00:20:45] [SPEAKER_02]: frying time.

[00:20:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you don't want to see those go away.

[00:20:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Jelly roll is set to mark.

[00:20:51] [SPEAKER_02]: It's set to make his mark on his hometown of Nashville by opening in a bar.

[00:20:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Several country superstars own bars, including Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, Alan Jackson.

[00:20:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, who's Alan?

[00:21:00] [SPEAKER_02]: What's Alan Jackson's bar?

[00:21:03] [SPEAKER_00]: It's next to Rippies.

[00:21:06] [SPEAKER_02]: It's next to Rippies.

[00:21:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Huh?

[00:21:07] [SPEAKER_02]: I never even noticed.

[00:21:08] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think we've been there.

[00:21:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to go in there.

[00:21:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:21:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Miranda Lambert, Kid Rock.

[00:21:13] [SPEAKER_02]: In the past year, Garth Brooks and Eric Church have opened bars.

[00:21:16] [SPEAKER_02]: I liked Eric's.

[00:21:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Garth, I only like the roof.

[00:21:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:21:22] [SPEAKER_02]: And I want to see Trisha's, but you can't.

[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_02]: It's private.

[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:21:25] [SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be really private now.

[00:21:26] Maybe you can rent it out.

[00:21:27] [SPEAKER_02]: I bet you can rent it out.

[00:21:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:21:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe I'll rent it after do the Ryman.

[00:21:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Morgan Wallace is opening one.

[00:21:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it's already open.

[00:21:35] [SPEAKER_02]: His is the best.

[00:21:36] [SPEAKER_02]: His is my favorite.

[00:21:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Whatever you think about him.

[00:21:38] [SPEAKER_02]: I know he misbehaves.

[00:21:40] [SPEAKER_02]: That's he's got his redneck side where he does bad things sometimes.

[00:21:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, debatable bad things, I suppose.

[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_02]: But he's given a lot of relief help to the hurricane.

[00:21:50] [SPEAKER_02]: So good boy.

[00:21:51] [SPEAKER_02]: You go make some shit up for some crazy things you've done.

[00:21:53] [SPEAKER_02]: You can't throw chairs off bar roofs.

[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_02]: At cops.

[00:21:57] [SPEAKER_02]: At cops.

[00:21:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Jesus.

[00:21:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Jesus.

[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Be good.

[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_02]: This is the kind of shit where if I had a 25 year old kid, I don't even know how to

[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_02]: talk to you anymore.

[00:22:07] [SPEAKER_02]: You threw a goddamn piece of furniture off a roof at a cop?

[00:22:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Where do we start?

[00:22:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:22:12] [SPEAKER_02]: How drunk were you, I guess?

[00:22:14] [SPEAKER_02]: And where were your friends?

[00:22:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Because I don't trust whoever you went out with.

[00:22:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't want you ever hanging out with them again.

[00:22:19] [SPEAKER_02]: But I can't talk to him like he's 15.

[00:22:20] [SPEAKER_02]: He's 25 years old.

[00:22:21] Exactly.

[00:22:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason DeFort, announced the new venture on a podcast.

[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_02]: And it will include a back bar named after his late dad, Buddy.

[00:22:35] Cool.

[00:22:36] [SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be called Goodnight Nashville.

[00:22:39] I like it.

[00:22:40] [SPEAKER_02]: He's not going to give any more details on that right now about when it's going to open

[00:22:44] [SPEAKER_02]: up and I don't think he wants to be held to a date.

[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, so there you go.

[00:22:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Jelly Roll fans.

[00:22:50] [SPEAKER_02]: I will be there.

[00:22:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I hope I get invited to his opening deal.

[00:22:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:22:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I might see him next week.

[00:22:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Just by accident.

[00:22:58] Taylor.

[00:22:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Tay Tay.

[00:23:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:23:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Has donated $5 million to Hurricane Helene and Milton.

[00:23:04] So great.

[00:23:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Relief efforts.

[00:23:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Good job.

[00:23:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Good job, youngster.

[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Yep.

[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_02]: And she, um, there's something else she did this week.

[00:23:11] [SPEAKER_02]: She's just...

[00:23:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, the other thing.

[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, no, here's what it was.

[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Stevie had on a Tay Tay bracelet on, uh, SNL.

[00:23:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Ah!

[00:23:18] [SPEAKER_02]: And all of the children noticed immediately.

[00:23:20] [SPEAKER_02]: It was the, uh, tortured poets department.

[00:23:23] [SPEAKER_02]: It's $40 on the website if you would like to acquire one.

[00:23:26] [SPEAKER_02]: I think it deserves a goat.

[00:23:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.

[00:23:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Stevie wearing Tay Tay stuff.

[00:23:30] Ah!

[00:23:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Ah!

[00:23:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Ah!

[00:23:34] Ah!

[00:23:35] [SPEAKER_02]: A big, big queen.

[00:23:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Lots of queen news.

[00:23:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Here you go!

[00:23:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Who's a fan of this court?

[00:23:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Who would like to meet Cher?

[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Me!

[00:23:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:23:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, you can do that.

[00:23:45] [SPEAKER_02]: She's going on her book tour.

[00:23:47] Oh!

[00:23:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know how these things work.

[00:23:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you buy tickets.

[00:23:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh!

[00:23:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I thought people just showed up.

[00:23:52] [SPEAKER_02]: She'll come to Nashville.

[00:23:53] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know how that shit works.

[00:23:55] [SPEAKER_02]: No, she's not coming to Nashville.

[00:23:56] [SPEAKER_02]: What?

[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_02]: That's what Cher would say to Nashville.

[00:24:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Cher is global.

[00:24:03] [SPEAKER_00]: I know.

[00:24:04] [SPEAKER_02]: She is not coming to Tennessee.

[00:24:07] [SPEAKER_02]: She's going to New York.

[00:24:09] Of course.

[00:24:10] [SPEAKER_02]: At the Temple Emanuel L.

[00:24:12] [SPEAKER_02]: At the Stryker Cultural Center.

[00:24:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Bookseller, Barnes & Noble.

[00:24:16] Hmm.

[00:24:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:24:18] Okay.

[00:24:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Inglewood, New Jersey.

[00:24:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Hmm.

[00:24:21] [SPEAKER_02]: The Bergen Performing Arts Center.

[00:24:23] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure I've worked there.

[00:24:24] [SPEAKER_02]: You have?

[00:24:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:24:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Bookseller, bookends, bookstore.

[00:24:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Purchase tickets.

[00:24:28] [SPEAKER_02]: London.

[00:24:29] [SPEAKER_02]: See how that said London instead of Nashville?

[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Ontario.

[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Yep.

[00:24:35] [SPEAKER_02]: London, Ontario, Canada.

[00:24:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Gonna be a huge Thursday.

[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:24:39] [SPEAKER_02]: It's London, England.

[00:24:40] [SPEAKER_02]: November 25th.

[00:24:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Ooh.

[00:24:42] [SPEAKER_02]: At the Fane at the Lyceum Theater.

[00:24:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Booksellers, booksellers, water stones.

[00:24:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Cool.

[00:24:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Why do we need to know that?

[00:24:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Because that's where you buy your tickets.

[00:24:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Is to get people into bookstores.

[00:24:51] [SPEAKER_02]: There's a purchase ticket thing link on there.

[00:24:53] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't need to know that.

[00:24:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Beverly Hills, California.

[00:24:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Of course.

[00:24:56] [SPEAKER_02]: So she'll just drive down from wherever.

[00:24:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe she could swing by the Chateau Marmont and yell at her son.

[00:25:02] [SPEAKER_02]: God damn it.

[00:25:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Quit smoking cigarettes and get out of that bush.

[00:25:05] [SPEAKER_02]: How drunk are you?

[00:25:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Why are you sleeping in a bush?

[00:25:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Beverly Hills, California, December 2nd.

[00:25:13] [SPEAKER_02]: And San Francisco.

[00:25:14] [SPEAKER_02]: See how that also doesn't say Nashville?

[00:25:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh huh.

[00:25:17] [SPEAKER_02]: December 4th at the Gold Gate Theater.

[00:25:19] Yeah.

[00:25:19] [SPEAKER_02]: So she's gonna be in a theater.

[00:25:22] [SPEAKER_02]: She's gonna, I guess, she's gonna...

[00:25:24] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a two part memoir.

[00:25:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh my God.

[00:25:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you know who else is writing one?

[00:25:29] Who?

[00:25:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Shirley MacLaine.

[00:25:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Shirley MacLaine.

[00:25:32] [SPEAKER_02]: She's 90.

[00:25:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Come on, man.

[00:25:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Who are these people's agents?

[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_02]: I see.

[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Here's what I'm gonna do.

[00:25:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Get all my clients that are 70 and go,

[00:25:38] [SPEAKER_02]: do you, are you ever thinking about writing a memoir?

[00:25:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause now's the time.

[00:25:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Not when you're 90.

[00:25:43] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:25:44] [SPEAKER_02]: She was on CBS Sunday morning as we all know that is permanently on my television because of

[00:25:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Lewis Black.

[00:25:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh huh.

[00:25:50] [SPEAKER_02]: And she's fine for 90.

[00:25:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:25:52] [SPEAKER_02]: But I mean, everybody she's talking about is dead.

[00:25:55] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I hate to say that.

[00:25:56] [SPEAKER_02]: It's sad.

[00:25:56] [SPEAKER_02]: But Aubrey Hepburn's dead.

[00:25:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Elizabeth Taylor's dead.

[00:25:59] [SPEAKER_02]: You, your fan base, I would be probably the youngest of the fan base.

[00:26:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:26:05] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm not gonna read a book about people I didn't, I don't know what Aubrey Hepburn,

[00:26:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I know she's an actor, but I don't.

[00:26:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Audrey.

[00:26:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Audrey.

[00:26:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, there you go.

[00:26:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Aubrey is the wonderful youngster who takes care of the cats when I'm gone.

[00:26:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Audrey.

[00:26:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Audrey.

[00:26:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Whatevs.

[00:26:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Wow.

[00:26:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh God.

[00:26:23] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I know she was in Breakfast with Tiffany's.

[00:26:25] [SPEAKER_02]: And then like, sure.

[00:26:26] [SPEAKER_01]: At Tiffany's.

[00:26:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Breakfast at Tiffany's.

[00:26:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Breakfast at Tiffany's.

[00:26:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Breakfast at, at or in?

[00:26:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Wow.

[00:26:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, we're going in if we're there.

[00:26:32] [SPEAKER_02]: So, breakfast at, that's how Midwest people say it.

[00:26:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Where'd you have breakfast at?

[00:26:36] [SPEAKER_00]: There's a song about it.

[00:26:38] [SPEAKER_02]: And I say, what about breakfast at Tiffany's.

[00:26:42] [SPEAKER_01]: With Tiffany's.

[00:26:43] [SPEAKER_02]: At Tiffany's.

[00:26:44] [SPEAKER_02]: You said, I remember.

[00:26:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Na na na na na.

[00:26:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I like that song.

[00:26:49] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a great song.

[00:26:50] [SPEAKER_02]: We'll learn it later.

[00:26:51] [SPEAKER_02]: This is a, yeah, I'll get back into that.

[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, I don't know.

[00:26:55] [SPEAKER_02]: I just, I feel like these people aren't being guided correctly.

[00:27:00] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:27:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, if we're going to do a memoir deal, 65 would be a good time.

[00:27:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.

[00:27:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Because guess what?

[00:27:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Nothing crazy is happening after that anyway.

[00:27:08] [SPEAKER_02]: And if so, we'll add a last chapter.

[00:27:11] [SPEAKER_02]: But let's chop, chop.

[00:27:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's get going, Shirley.

[00:27:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:27:14] [SPEAKER_02]: 90.

[00:27:14] Shirley.

[00:27:15] You can do it, Shirley.

[00:27:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Shirley, you can do it.

[00:27:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh.

[00:27:20] [SPEAKER_02]: I forgot to do this last week.

[00:27:22] [SPEAKER_02]: And he's not a king in this court because he was too old.

[00:27:25] [SPEAKER_02]: But a little shout out, because my dad really liked him.

[00:27:28] [SPEAKER_02]: I really liked him.

[00:27:29] [SPEAKER_02]: And I got to see him one time in Nashville.

[00:27:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Chris Christofferson died.

[00:27:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:27:33] [SPEAKER_02]: But he was an old turtle.

[00:27:34] [SPEAKER_02]: So that's fine.

[00:27:35] [SPEAKER_02]: So cool.

[00:27:36] [SPEAKER_02]: He had a nice life.

[00:27:37] [SPEAKER_02]: But he was way more, he was so crazy.

[00:27:39] [SPEAKER_02]: So it was at this bar in Nashville.

[00:27:43] [SPEAKER_02]: The basement.

[00:27:44] [SPEAKER_02]: The basement East.

[00:27:47] [SPEAKER_02]: And it just, these things pop up down here.

[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_02]: That's why it was such a fun city to live in.

[00:27:51] [SPEAKER_02]: And they were like, oh, Tuesday night Chris Christofferson is going to be the basement.

[00:27:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, what?

[00:27:55] [SPEAKER_02]: At a bar?

[00:27:56] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like 200 people if you're standing.

[00:27:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Which is usually what the deal is.

[00:27:59] [SPEAKER_02]: There's back bars and you just hang out.

[00:28:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:28:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, okay.

[00:28:03] [SPEAKER_02]: So I called Little Dorf.

[00:28:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, we're going.

[00:28:06] [SPEAKER_02]: And he just came out.

[00:28:07] [SPEAKER_02]: He's like, hi, I'm Chris.

[00:28:09] [SPEAKER_02]: There was no intro.

[00:28:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Wow.

[00:28:10] [SPEAKER_02]: And there was a band.

[00:28:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Cool.

[00:28:11] [SPEAKER_02]: He sang great.

[00:28:12] [SPEAKER_02]: This was probably five, six years ago.

[00:28:16] [SPEAKER_00]: It's on your Instagram.

[00:28:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Is it?

[00:28:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:28:18] [SPEAKER_02]: It's on my Instagram.

[00:28:18] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll put a link in the show.

[00:28:21] [SPEAKER_02]: This is how crazy, though.

[00:28:23] [SPEAKER_02]: He was a Rhodes Scholar.

[00:28:24] [SPEAKER_02]: He was a track and field star.

[00:28:26] [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't know that.

[00:28:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:28:27] [SPEAKER_02]: He graduated sumo cum laude.

[00:28:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh.

[00:28:30] [SPEAKER_02]: However you say it.

[00:28:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't even know how to say it.

[00:28:31] [SPEAKER_02]: That's probably.

[00:28:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Sumo couldn't, loudy.

[00:28:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Sumo wrestler.

[00:28:35] [SPEAKER_01]: He's a sumo wrestler.

[00:28:37] [SPEAKER_02]: He got a scholarship to Oxford.

[00:28:40] [SPEAKER_02]: While over there, he became a star boxer.

[00:28:42] [SPEAKER_02]: He played rugby and began writing songs.

[00:28:45] [SPEAKER_02]: And he graduated with a Bachelor of Philosophy in English Literature and degree.

[00:28:48] [SPEAKER_02]: He also began recording music while at Oxford, although he was unsuccessful.

[00:28:54] [SPEAKER_02]: He decided to follow his footsteps, father's footsteps and join the military.

[00:28:58] [SPEAKER_02]: He has.

[00:28:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:29:00] [SPEAKER_02]: His father had become a major general and served in World War II in Korea, making less,

[00:29:05] [SPEAKER_02]: more or less making service to the country of the family business.

[00:29:09] [SPEAKER_02]: He enlisted in the army, eventually became a helicopter pilot in ranger school.

[00:29:14] [SPEAKER_02]: This guy, I mean, this is like a crazy wizard smart person to be able to do all that.

[00:29:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:29:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, he offered down a teaching post at West Point.

[00:29:25] [SPEAKER_02]: He said, no, um, I'm busy.

[00:29:28] [SPEAKER_02]: And then problem is he didn't have any jobs.

[00:29:30] [SPEAKER_02]: So he went to Nashville and he became a janitor so he could write songs.

[00:29:34] [SPEAKER_02]: His family disowned him for this.

[00:29:36] What?

[00:29:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Yep.

[00:29:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh huh.

[00:29:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, he said to Rolling Stone that his mom said I was an embarrassment to the family.

[00:29:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I've given them moments of pride when I got my Rhodes Scholarship, but she said they'll

[00:29:47] [SPEAKER_02]: never measure up to the tremendous disappointment you have always been.

[00:29:52] Oh my God.

[00:29:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Why?

[00:29:53] [SPEAKER_02]: What an asshole.

[00:30:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and they also said don't visit any of the other relatives.

[00:30:05] [SPEAKER_02]: You're a disgrace to us.

[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, they're not in charge of him anymore.

[00:30:11] [SPEAKER_02]: His dad was a little less crazy about all that.

[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, I mean, what a multi-talented person.

[00:30:18] [SPEAKER_02]: And then to have your parents, geez, pretty harsh.

[00:30:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Very.

[00:30:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:30:24] Not very nice.

[00:30:24] [SPEAKER_02]: And he didn't seem like a bitter, angry guy.

[00:30:26] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:30:27] [SPEAKER_02]: You think he might be a little pissed off about all that.

[00:30:29] [SPEAKER_02]: He seemed very sweet.

[00:30:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he seemed very gentle.

[00:30:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:30:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and smoking hot.

[00:30:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Moving on to updates.

[00:30:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Is that everybody?

[00:30:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Tom, Tommy Salami did a pretty good job broadcasting the cowboy game, which, oh my God, that's what

[00:30:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I want to talk about.

[00:30:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause I live for Mondays.

[00:30:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I live to see Stephen A. Smith on first take cause he hates the Cowboys on an unnatural level.

[00:30:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I don't hate the Cowboys.

[00:30:55] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't hate the Cowboys fans.

[00:30:56] [SPEAKER_02]: I just cannot believe Jerry Jones.

[00:31:00] [SPEAKER_02]: And, uh, he's such an egomaniac.

[00:31:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Like he landed his helicopter at the Cowboys practice field while they're trying to practice.

[00:31:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Dude, that's a distraction.

[00:31:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:31:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Get the fuck out of here.

[00:31:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Like what he, he, Jerry does never, never sees himself as part of the problem.

[00:31:14] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:31:15] Nope.

[00:31:15] [SPEAKER_02]: That game, the lions, and I love the lions and I love Jared Goff and I love, uh, Amon Ra.

[00:31:23] [SPEAKER_02]: St. Brown.

[00:31:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause he was on that show receiver.

[00:31:25] [SPEAKER_02]: He's super smart.

[00:31:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Like he speaks German.

[00:31:27] [SPEAKER_02]: He's crazy smart.

[00:31:28] [SPEAKER_02]: David Montgomery on my fantasy team.

[00:31:32] [SPEAKER_02]: So many points.

[00:31:33] [SPEAKER_02]: I just, it was just crushing people left and right.

[00:31:36] [SPEAKER_02]: And to watch Jerry Jones on his birthday in Cowboys stadium.

[00:31:41] [SPEAKER_02]: What was the final score?

[00:31:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Like 47 to, and they kind of let up at the end.

[00:31:46] [SPEAKER_02]: 49 to 49.

[00:31:47] [SPEAKER_02]: They let them have like one touchdown at the end.

[00:31:51] [SPEAKER_00]: 47 to nine.

[00:31:51] [SPEAKER_02]: 47 to nine.

[00:31:53] [SPEAKER_02]: There was no touchdown.

[00:31:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, there was no touchdown.

[00:31:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Three field goals.

[00:31:57] [SPEAKER_02]: And the, I mean, to, there's, to people, normal people, I think would go, this isn't a very interesting game.

[00:32:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Kathleen, why do you still have it on?

[00:32:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I love every minute of it.

[00:32:07] [SPEAKER_02]: And I feel terribly sorry for all my cowboy friends.

[00:32:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause it's, it's never going to be okay with Jerry in charge.

[00:32:14] [SPEAKER_02]: He forgot to get a running back.

[00:32:16] [SPEAKER_02]: How do you forget that?

[00:32:17] [SPEAKER_02]: You have no running game.

[00:32:19] [SPEAKER_02]: You gave away Tony Pollard and, and Derek said he wanted to come.

[00:32:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Thank God for Derek Henry.

[00:32:24] [SPEAKER_02]: He did not do that.

[00:32:25] [SPEAKER_02]: He's, he went somewhere else to Baltimore and they're doing great and he's doing great.

[00:32:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I just, I can't, I can't explain what joy.

[00:32:33] [SPEAKER_02]: And then they said, uh, he said there was a guy on first take, uh, but Stephen A. Smith always comes out with a cowboy hat on and smoking a cigar.

[00:32:43] [SPEAKER_02]: And, and it was Stephen A. Smith's birthday today and he wasn't supposed to come in cause it's a holiday.

[00:32:47] [SPEAKER_02]: And he's like, Oh, you didn't expect to see me.

[00:32:50] [SPEAKER_02]: He's so overjoyed.

[00:32:51] [SPEAKER_02]: He couldn't stop himself.

[00:32:52] [SPEAKER_02]: He got in a town car from wherever he got his car and he drove into Manhattan.

[00:32:57] [SPEAKER_02]: He's like, Oh, but I'm here.

[00:32:59] [SPEAKER_01]: I couldn't stay away.

[00:33:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Howdy.

[00:33:01] [SPEAKER_02]: He, I don't know.

[00:33:03] [SPEAKER_02]: I got to Google like what has happened that Stephen A. Smith has this thing, but I love every minute of it.

[00:33:13] [SPEAKER_02]: He said he was shocked and he goes, how, how could you be shocked?

[00:33:17] [SPEAKER_02]: You have no running game.

[00:33:18] [SPEAKER_02]: And you also, by the way, can't stop their running game.

[00:33:21] [SPEAKER_02]: What do you think the result is going to be?

[00:33:24] [SPEAKER_02]: All right.

[00:33:24] [SPEAKER_02]: That's enough football talk.

[00:33:25] [SPEAKER_02]: I know I get off sometimes on the football talking.

[00:33:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, well, thank you.

[00:33:31] [SPEAKER_02]: But here we go.

[00:33:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Update.

[00:33:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Moving on.

[00:33:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Moving on.

[00:33:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Bucky's first Virginia location will open July 4th.

[00:33:40] [SPEAKER_02]: They have set a date.

[00:33:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Construction on the new Bucky's travel center in Rockingham County located off exit 240 on interstate 81 is about 35% complete with plans to open on July 4th, 2025.

[00:33:52] [SPEAKER_02]: By the way, jobs in that place pay great.

[00:33:54] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm not even kidding.

[00:33:55] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:33:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Bucky's jobs pay crazy.

[00:33:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Interior work and finishing walls with his installation while exterior work focuses on siding and stone veneer.

[00:34:04] [SPEAKER_02]: The county is closely inspecting the site to ensure the project stays on track.

[00:34:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Two dedicated turn lanes will be constructed to ease the traffic flow.

[00:34:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Nice.

[00:34:12] [SPEAKER_02]: There you go, Virginia.

[00:34:15] [SPEAKER_02]: July 4th.

[00:34:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Nice.

[00:34:16] [SPEAKER_02]: God, imagine how many people will be there.

[00:34:18] [SPEAKER_02]: So great.

[00:34:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Holy shit, they found it.

[00:34:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, moving on.

[00:34:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_02]: We're moving on.

[00:34:23] [SPEAKER_00]: One update?

[00:34:24] [SPEAKER_02]: That's all I had.

[00:34:25] [SPEAKER_02]: It's okay.

[00:34:26] [SPEAKER_02]: The rest of it was king and queen news.

[00:34:27] [SPEAKER_02]: You don't have to apologize.

[00:34:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you.

[00:34:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:34:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I tried hard.

[00:34:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Yep.

[00:34:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Just making sure we didn't miss anything.

[00:34:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[00:34:32] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry.

[00:34:33] [SPEAKER_00]: I wrecked it.

[00:34:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Go ahead.

[00:34:34] [SPEAKER_00]: You have to do it again.

[00:34:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Holy shit.

[00:34:38] [SPEAKER_02]: They found it.

[00:34:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Did you guys even know this existed?

[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't.

[00:34:41] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, they always talk about the woolly mammoth, right?

[00:34:44] Yep.

[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_02]: There was a woolly rhino.

[00:34:46] What?

[00:34:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Yep.

[00:34:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, cool.

[00:34:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Found preserved in Russian permafrost after 32,000 years.

[00:34:55] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

[00:34:56] [SPEAKER_02]: We're one step closer to Jurassic Park and I am here for it.

[00:35:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's start making stuff up.

[00:35:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Make shit that died 32,000 years ago.

[00:35:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:35:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:35:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, they found one in Russia and its skin and fur are still intact because it was frozen.

[00:35:13] [SPEAKER_02]: It was four years old when it died.

[00:35:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Combined with its good state of preservation, it's allowed scientists to learn more about

[00:35:19] [SPEAKER_02]: the now extinct species.

[00:35:21] [SPEAKER_02]: The vast majority of remains from Ice Age animals or bones and teeth without any skin or flesh

[00:35:26] [SPEAKER_02]: or anything like that said so-and-so professor of evolutionary something at Stockholm University.

[00:35:34] [SPEAKER_02]: There's probably like one in 10,000 something like that when you run into something like this.

[00:35:38] [SPEAKER_02]: One in 10,000.

[00:35:39] [SPEAKER_02]: That's crazy.

[00:35:39] [SPEAKER_02]: With that said, there are lots of samples coming out of permafrost every year so it seems to happen on a yearly basis, but not to this extent.

[00:35:46] [SPEAKER_02]: That's the thing.

[00:35:48] [SPEAKER_02]: The woolly rhino, in case you were wondering, roamed eastern Siberia more than 30,000 years ago.

[00:35:52] [SPEAKER_02]: It would have been one of the largest herbivores in the Ice Age ecosystem, second only to the woolly mammoth.

[00:35:58] Wow.

[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_02]: That's very exciting.

[00:36:00] [SPEAKER_02]: That's super cool.

[00:36:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Why not make one again?

[00:36:02] [SPEAKER_02]: See what happens.

[00:36:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's get it going.

[00:36:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:36:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you know, the weather's so wacky with climate change, but it seems like we might be on our way out.

[00:36:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's create some crazy shit.

[00:36:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:36:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Call the children.

[00:36:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:36:15] [SPEAKER_02]: People say there's nothing wrong with the weather.

[00:36:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, look, I don't know why.

[00:36:18] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not a flunk science, but I can tell you.

[00:36:21] [SPEAKER_02]: There's some problems.

[00:36:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.

[00:36:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:36:25] [SPEAKER_02]: There's another holy shit they found.

[00:36:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Mehmet, that's his name.

[00:36:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Mehmet.

[00:36:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Eman Salop, a villager in Turkey's eastern province of something I can't pronounce, discovered an 84 square meter single piece mosaic floor depicting life, natural life.

[00:36:48] [SPEAKER_02]: He found it in August, and they've just told people because they don't want people going over there and doing shit.

[00:36:53] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:36:53] [SPEAKER_02]: He was digging up holes to plant saplings on a field.

[00:36:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Can you imagine?

[00:36:57] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:36:57] It's crazy.

[00:36:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Hey, I went up to Lowe's and I got some tiny saplings and we'll go, oh my God, look, it's a Roman floor.

[00:37:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Holy shit.

[00:37:06] Wow.

[00:37:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:37:08] It's crazy.

[00:37:08] [SPEAKER_02]: It's so beautiful.

[00:37:09] [SPEAKER_02]: We'll put a picture up.

[00:37:12] [SPEAKER_02]: To think that you could find, they're going to, but Mehmet, because he's a good person, he called the people in charge and they're going to come carefully dig the whole thing up and then carefully move the whole thing.

[00:37:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, fantastic.

[00:37:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:37:23] [SPEAKER_02]: And he won't get any money or nothing, but he'll get a little plaque, I'm sure.

[00:37:27] Yep.

[00:37:27] [SPEAKER_02]: And maybe they'll help him plant the saplings.

[00:37:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Wouldn't that be a nice thing?

[00:37:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Fair trade?

[00:37:31] [SPEAKER_02]: I like it.

[00:37:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Because Mehmet doesn't look too young and his back might hurt because mine would.

[00:37:36] [SPEAKER_02]: His back might hurt.

[00:37:38] It's tough.

[00:37:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Planting is hard.

[00:37:40] [SPEAKER_02]: I went out and cut a bunch of shit down at it and I was only, it was out there for like 40 minutes and I had to use that ice hot stuff.

[00:37:47] [SPEAKER_02]: That's how bad my back hurt.

[00:37:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:37:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, Jesus, I did an hour of work.

[00:37:53] [SPEAKER_02]: He bought the land for 3,500 bucks.

[00:37:56] [SPEAKER_02]: We purchased the land in 2020 for vineyard and garden purposes.

[00:37:59] [SPEAKER_02]: When I began planting saplings, I discovered the floor mosaic.

[00:38:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Aware of its significance, I contacted the museum.

[00:38:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Since that day, I've been on site working and doing my best.

[00:38:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Fantastic.

[00:38:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:38:09] [SPEAKER_02]: That's a wonderful little story.

[00:38:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Very cool.

[00:38:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Good for Mehmet.

[00:38:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Now, a lot of people don't know this, but today is Indigenous People Day.

[00:38:19] Yes.

[00:38:19] [SPEAKER_02]: And I did not know it was a holiday and somebody needs to explain to me why I had to do a podcast at 11 o'clock today.

[00:38:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Because it's not a quote work day.

[00:38:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Not this podcast.

[00:38:27] [SPEAKER_02]: No, I did a different one.

[00:38:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm also-

[00:38:29] [SPEAKER_02]: No, it was super fun.

[00:38:30] [SPEAKER_02]: It was called Cripescast.

[00:38:31] [SPEAKER_02]: It was all about, it's all about the Midwest.

[00:38:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, cool.

[00:38:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:38:35] [SPEAKER_02]: This guy, Charlie, he's super cool.

[00:38:37] When does it come out?

[00:38:38] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:38:39] [SPEAKER_02]: They always tell me later.

[00:38:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:38:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't know.

[00:38:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, that's the thing about podcasts.

[00:38:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I do a lot of them.

[00:38:45] [SPEAKER_02]: And I mean, if they don't tell me, I can't even tell you if it did come out.

[00:38:48] Oh, good.

[00:38:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:38:50] [SPEAKER_02]: They have to be in charge to tell me.

[00:38:52] [SPEAKER_02]: They'll call Katie.

[00:38:52] [SPEAKER_02]: So, Indigenous People Day used to be called Christopher Columbus Day.

[00:38:55] [SPEAKER_02]: And now there's all kinds of fighting about that.

[00:38:57] [SPEAKER_02]: But here's the thing.

[00:38:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's just start.

[00:39:00] It's also Canadian Thanksgiving.

[00:39:01] [SPEAKER_02]: It's also Canadian Thanksgiving.

[00:39:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you.

[00:39:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Congratulations, paddles.

[00:39:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you.

[00:39:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Yours is more of a festive harvest celebration.

[00:39:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:39:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Ours has more to do with some bad history.

[00:39:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Drama.

[00:39:09] Yeah.

[00:39:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Not that you guys didn't do bad things too.

[00:39:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh.

[00:39:12] [SPEAKER_02]: You want to talk about that?

[00:39:14] No.

[00:39:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Huh?

[00:39:15] [SPEAKER_02]: What the Canadians may or may not have done?

[00:39:18] It's horrible.

[00:39:19] [SPEAKER_02]: To the Indigenous people?

[00:39:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:39:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, nobody was very nice back then.

[00:39:22] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:39:23] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:39:23] [SPEAKER_02]: It was a...

[00:39:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, everybody...

[00:39:25] [SPEAKER_02]: That doesn't make it right just because everybody was doing it.

[00:39:28] [SPEAKER_02]: But here's the thing.

[00:39:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Columbus Day was always screwed up anyway because he didn't really find America.

[00:39:35] [SPEAKER_02]: The Vikings were here way, way before that.

[00:39:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.

[00:39:37] [SPEAKER_02]: It should have been called Viking Day.

[00:39:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.

[00:39:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:39:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Or who's before the Vikings?

[00:39:43] [SPEAKER_02]: The Indigenous people that were already here.

[00:39:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.

[00:39:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Who...

[00:39:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Where'd they come from?

[00:39:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, they walked across.

[00:39:48] [SPEAKER_02]: They walked across during the Ice Age with the woolly rhino.

[00:39:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Totally.

[00:39:52] [SPEAKER_02]: I think we all know these things.

[00:39:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Everyone knows that.

[00:39:54] [SPEAKER_02]: But we just gave it to Christopher.

[00:39:57] Right.

[00:39:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Then the Italians claimed Christopher.

[00:40:00] [SPEAKER_02]: And now they're saying he was Spanish and Jewish.

[00:40:04] What?

[00:40:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:40:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:40:05] [SPEAKER_02]: You wish.

[00:40:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Louis is so happy.

[00:40:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Louis is happy.

[00:40:11] [SPEAKER_02]: You know who else was...

[00:40:13] [SPEAKER_02]: They think Jewish.

[00:40:15] [SPEAKER_02]: And there's the Star of David on his tombstone.

[00:40:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I know this.

[00:40:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Elvis.

[00:40:19] [SPEAKER_02]: I know.

[00:40:20] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'll never forget it.

[00:40:21] [SPEAKER_02]: I've been to Memphis a thousand times.

[00:40:23] [SPEAKER_02]: I've been to Graceland probably in my life...

[00:40:28] Ten.

[00:40:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Ten times?

[00:40:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I have to.

[00:40:30] [SPEAKER_02]: You can never get enough of it.

[00:40:32] [SPEAKER_02]: And I don't even really care about it.

[00:40:34] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I...

[00:40:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I love it.

[00:40:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I mean...

[00:40:36] [SPEAKER_02]: No, I mean...

[00:40:36] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not like my mom.

[00:40:38] [SPEAKER_02]: I wasn't crying when I saw a video of Elvis.

[00:40:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh!

[00:40:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Like...

[00:40:41] [SPEAKER_02]: No, no.

[00:40:42] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I think he had a wonderful voice.

[00:40:44] [SPEAKER_02]: And I like...

[00:40:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, what's the...

[00:40:47] [SPEAKER_02]: The Kentucky song I like so much?

[00:40:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Kentucky Rain.

[00:40:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:40:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Kentucky Rain.

[00:40:53] [SPEAKER_02]: I like Suspicious Minds.

[00:40:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Suspicious Minds.

[00:40:55] [SPEAKER_02]: He's a lot of good ones.

[00:40:57] [SPEAKER_02]: And he...

[00:40:58] [SPEAKER_02]: His version of Willie Nelson's song.

[00:41:01] You were always on my mind.

[00:41:02] [SPEAKER_02]: You were always on my mind.

[00:41:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Wonderful voice.

[00:41:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Super smoking hot.

[00:41:05] [SPEAKER_02]: He just wasn't of my generation.

[00:41:07] [SPEAKER_02]: He's of my mom's generation.

[00:41:08] [SPEAKER_02]: So I went one time with my mom and her sisters, all my aunts.

[00:41:11] [SPEAKER_02]: We had so much fun.

[00:41:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway...

[00:41:14] [SPEAKER_02]: The last time I was there, I was like, wait a minute.

[00:41:18] And...

[00:41:18] [SPEAKER_02]: What?

[00:41:19] Didi's the name you said.

[00:41:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Didi's my friend.

[00:41:21] [SPEAKER_02]: She took me on the...

[00:41:22] [SPEAKER_02]: I got to go earlier than the other people.

[00:41:24] Super cool.

[00:41:25] [SPEAKER_02]: I know, because she pulled the keys to the front door at Grayson out of her purse.

[00:41:29] [SPEAKER_02]: And I went, holy shit, you have the keys?

[00:41:31] [SPEAKER_02]: She goes, well, somebody's gotta open it.

[00:41:33] [SPEAKER_02]: And I thought, yeah, you're right about that.

[00:41:34] [SPEAKER_02]: That's fantastic.

[00:41:35] [SPEAKER_02]: I just never thought who could do that.

[00:41:39] [SPEAKER_02]: When you get to the backyard, there's Elvis' grave, and now Lisa Marie is there, and her

[00:41:44] [SPEAKER_02]: son.

[00:41:45] [SPEAKER_02]: That's sad.

[00:41:45] [SPEAKER_02]: It's all very sad.

[00:41:46] [SPEAKER_02]: But I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, why is there a star David?

[00:41:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:41:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Was he Jewish?

[00:41:51] [SPEAKER_02]: And they think his mother's side may have been Jewish.

[00:41:53] [SPEAKER_02]: They don't know any of this for sure, but they also lived underneath a Jewish family

[00:41:56] [SPEAKER_02]: who was extremely helpful to them when they didn't have any money.

[00:41:58] That's nice.

[00:41:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:42:00] [SPEAKER_02]: So...

[00:42:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, I don't even know why I got off on that tangent, but...

[00:42:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Christopher Columbus.

[00:42:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:42:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Centuries-old mystery of Columbus is true...

[00:42:08] [SPEAKER_02]: He's Jewish.

[00:42:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Right, because he's Jewish.

[00:42:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Now they're saying he's a Shepardic...

[00:42:12] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm probably saying that wrong.

[00:42:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Shepardic Jew.

[00:42:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Lou's an Akhenazi Jewish person.

[00:42:19] [SPEAKER_02]: There's two.

[00:42:20] I don't know the difference.

[00:42:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Lou has explained it to me in text, and I already forgot.

[00:42:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:42:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, no, no, no, no, no.

[00:42:29] [SPEAKER_02]: The second group, Shepardic, is from like Spain and Portugal, and then Lou's like the

[00:42:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Eastern, Lou's a Russian Jewish, and the Eastern European Jews, I believe...

[00:42:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Or no, Western, I don't know.

[00:42:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Do Akhenazi, see?

[00:42:41] [SPEAKER_02]: We are screwed.

[00:42:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I could turn on my phone, but...

[00:42:43] [SPEAKER_01]: How do I even spell Akhenazi?

[00:42:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:42:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Aka.

[00:42:47] [SPEAKER_02]: A-K-A.

[00:42:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Nazi, like little Naz.

[00:42:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Naz.

[00:42:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Totally wrong.

[00:42:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I know.

[00:42:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Ashkenazi.

[00:42:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Ashkenazi.

[00:42:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe.

[00:42:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Central or Eastern Europe.

[00:42:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Central or Eastern Europe.

[00:42:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Lou's Russian at the end of the day.

[00:43:01] [SPEAKER_02]: So anyway, you don't hear of Shepardic very much.

[00:43:04] [SPEAKER_02]: And then I said, were they Shepards?

[00:43:06] Wow.

[00:43:08] [SPEAKER_02]: I think so.

[00:43:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:43:10] [SPEAKER_02]: The 15th century explorer, Christopher Columbus, was a Shepardic, if I'm saying that right, if

[00:43:15] [SPEAKER_02]: not, I apologize to all those kind of Jewish people.

[00:43:19] [SPEAKER_02]: From Western Europe, Spanish scientists said on Saturday, after using DNA analysis to tackle

[00:43:25] [SPEAKER_02]: the 15th century's old mystery.

[00:43:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Several countries have argued over the origins and the final bearing place of the figure who

[00:43:32] [SPEAKER_02]: led the Spanish funded expeditions from the 1490s onward, opening the way for European

[00:43:38] [SPEAKER_02]: conquest of the Americas.

[00:43:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Many historians have questioned the traditional theory that he came from Genoa, Italy.

[00:43:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Other theories range from him being a Spanish Jew or a Greek or Bosque or Portuguese or British.

[00:43:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, geez, guys.

[00:43:52] For Canadians.

[00:43:53] [SPEAKER_02]: To solve the mystery.

[00:43:54] [SPEAKER_02]: This is what I like.

[00:43:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's get on it.

[00:43:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Researchers conducted a 22 year, 22 years they did this investigation led by so and so by

[00:44:04] [SPEAKER_02]: attesting tiny samples of remains buried in Seville Cathedral, long marked by authorities as the last resting

[00:44:10] [SPEAKER_02]: place of Columbus, though there have been rival claims.

[00:44:13] Okay.

[00:44:13] Right.

[00:44:14] [SPEAKER_02]: So we're not even sure, but I have an article after this that he definitely, they did find,

[00:44:22] [SPEAKER_02]: but wait till you hear where else he's been.

[00:44:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Jesus.

[00:44:24] [SPEAKER_02]: God.

[00:44:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Very busy.

[00:44:25] [SPEAKER_02]: They compared those with known relatives and descendants and their findings were announced

[00:44:30] [SPEAKER_02]: in a documentary titled Columbus DNA, the true origin on Spain's national broadcast TVE

[00:44:36] [SPEAKER_02]: on Saturday.

[00:44:37] [SPEAKER_02]: We have DNA from Christopher Columbus, very partial but sufficient.

[00:44:41] [SPEAKER_02]: We have DNA from Hernando Colon, his son.

[00:44:44] Okay.

[00:44:45] [SPEAKER_02]: And both wire chromosomes and the DNA transmitted by the mother are traits compatible with the

[00:44:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Jewish origin.

[00:44:51] Okay.

[00:44:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.

[00:44:53] [SPEAKER_02]: In Spain, about 300,000 Jews lived in Spain before the Catholic monarchs Isabella and Ferdinand

[00:44:58] [SPEAKER_02]: ordered Jews and Muslims to convert to the Catholic faith or leave the country.

[00:45:02] [SPEAKER_02]: That's a great name.

[00:45:03] Ferdinand.

[00:45:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Ferdinand?

[00:45:04] Yep.

[00:45:05] Love it.

[00:45:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Ferd.

[00:45:07] [SPEAKER_02]: What's that short for, what do we do for the short version?

[00:45:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Ferd.

[00:45:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Ferd.

[00:45:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Ferd.

[00:45:13] Ferd.

[00:45:14] [SPEAKER_02]: The Shepardic comes from something.

[00:45:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Forget that.

[00:45:18] [SPEAKER_02]: It's too hard.

[00:45:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Ferdinand.

[00:45:20] [SPEAKER_02]: They had 25 possible places.

[00:45:22] [SPEAKER_02]: They say it is only possible for him to have been born in Western Europe.

[00:45:28] [SPEAKER_02]: So he died in Spain in 1506, but he wished to be buried on the island of Hispaniola that

[00:45:36] [SPEAKER_02]: is shared by the Dominican Republic in Haiti.

[00:45:39] [SPEAKER_02]: His remains were taken there in 1542.

[00:45:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Then they moved to Cuba in 1795.

[00:45:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, my God.

[00:45:46] [SPEAKER_02]: And then, no shit.

[00:45:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Wow.

[00:45:49] [SPEAKER_02]: This is a lot of just dragging a dead body around or whatever is left.

[00:45:52] [SPEAKER_02]: And then he went back to Spain in 1898.

[00:45:56] Okay.

[00:45:58] [SPEAKER_02]: These are very long boat rides.

[00:46:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, wow.

[00:46:03] [SPEAKER_02]: And they're saying these are for sure his remains in the, his son made sure that they were in

[00:46:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Seville, Spain.

[00:46:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Nice.

[00:46:19] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:46:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Traditional theory posts that he was from Genoa, Italy.

[00:46:22] [SPEAKER_02]: However, other nations claim to be his birthplace, including Portugal, Ireland.

[00:46:28] Come on.

[00:46:28] [SPEAKER_02]: What a, guys, what are we doing?

[00:46:31] [SPEAKER_02]: We can't jump in on this one.

[00:46:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Have you seen the pictures of the paintings of him?

[00:46:34] [SPEAKER_02]: There's nothing Irish looking about this guy.

[00:46:36] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:46:37] No.

[00:46:37] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:46:38] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:46:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Croatia?

[00:46:42] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know enough about it.

[00:46:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, no.

[00:46:44] [SPEAKER_02]: That, that would be my vote on a game show.

[00:46:46] [SPEAKER_02]: If I'm your lifeline, just no.

[00:46:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:46:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't know.

[00:46:50] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:46:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Somebody saw him once.

[00:46:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:46:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Moving on.

[00:46:58] [SPEAKER_02]: More news.

[00:46:59] [SPEAKER_02]: More news.

[00:47:00] [SPEAKER_02]: More news.

[00:47:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Utah.

[00:47:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Speaking of Salt Lake City.

[00:47:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Here we go.

[00:47:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, this is crazy.

[00:47:06] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm so proud of Utah.

[00:47:08] [SPEAKER_02]: So they got a hockey team.

[00:47:10] [SPEAKER_02]: It used to be the Phoenix Coyotes.

[00:47:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.

[00:47:13] [SPEAKER_02]: And they kept the Phoenix Coyotes playing in this tiny little place.

[00:47:16] [SPEAKER_02]: And they kept promising them a new, a new big normal, a normal arena.

[00:47:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Just normal.

[00:47:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Nothing crazy.

[00:47:22] Nope.

[00:47:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, it never got built.

[00:47:24] [SPEAKER_02]: So guess what they did?

[00:47:26] [SPEAKER_02]: They moved.

[00:47:27] [SPEAKER_02]: And they, for now.

[00:47:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Immediately.

[00:47:30] Bye.

[00:47:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[00:47:31] [SPEAKER_02]: As soon as they could.

[00:47:32] Yep.

[00:47:32] [SPEAKER_02]: For now, they're naming themselves the Utah Hockey Club.

[00:47:36] [SPEAKER_02]: I think we could do better than that.

[00:47:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Um.

[00:47:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Are you gonna buy me a t-shirt while you're there?

[00:47:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you wanna, you wanna, uh, uh, a hockey Utah?

[00:47:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I'll get you one.

[00:47:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:47:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I haven't thought about it enough, but I'm gonna think about it this weekend, what I would

[00:47:53] [SPEAKER_02]: call them.

[00:47:54] Okay.

[00:47:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I like naming teams.

[00:47:56] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm just telling anybody out there, if you make a camo uniform, you're gonna sell

[00:48:01] [SPEAKER_02]: more merch than anybody on earth.

[00:48:03] Completely.

[00:48:03] [SPEAKER_02]: It's low hanging fruit.

[00:48:04] Completely.

[00:48:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I also thought good uniform colors would be gray and pink because Delta, the flight

[00:48:08] [SPEAKER_02]: attendance for October for breast cancer, everyone else.

[00:48:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Mostly gray.

[00:48:12] Very cool.

[00:48:12] [SPEAKER_02]: On the dudes.

[00:48:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause it's a sport, so you don't wanna see them all hot pink.

[00:48:16] [SPEAKER_02]: That would be weird.

[00:48:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Yep.

[00:48:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Mostly gray.

[00:48:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Accents of pink.

[00:48:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Wide open for the taken.

[00:48:21] It's great.

[00:48:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway.

[00:48:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Here's why I'm proud of.

[00:48:24] Okay.

[00:48:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, Utah.

[00:48:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Utah, the Delta center recorded $120,000 in beer sales during Utah's win over the Blackhawks

[00:48:33] [SPEAKER_02]: on Tuesday.

[00:48:34] [SPEAKER_02]: More than any previous NBA or NHL event in the venue since 1991.

[00:48:40] [SPEAKER_02]: A Mick ultra, which was, which was $13 at the jazz's preseason tilt the night before sold

[00:48:48] [SPEAKER_02]: for 15 bucks.

[00:48:50] [SPEAKER_02]: So it was 13.

[00:48:50] [SPEAKER_02]: If you went to a preseason game, 15 bucks for a beer.

[00:48:53] [SPEAKER_02]: I know everybody bitches, but that's right in the middle.

[00:48:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Yep.

[00:48:56] [SPEAKER_02]: That's not, I've seen it higher.

[00:48:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Yep.

[00:48:59] [SPEAKER_02]: No bitchin'.

[00:49:00] [SPEAKER_02]: $120,000 in beer sales.

[00:49:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Good for you.

[00:49:03] [SPEAKER_02]: You know who could have helped?

[00:49:04] [SPEAKER_00]: The Blackhawks fans come in.

[00:49:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, yeah, it could have been a lot of Chicago people.

[00:49:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I'd say Chicago people are definitely worth $80,000 of that.

[00:49:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes!

[00:49:12] [SPEAKER_02]: And then maybe we leave the rest to the Utahians if that's how we say it.

[00:49:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Yep.

[00:49:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:49:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, there's like a helicopter going over.

[00:49:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Jesus, what is up with all the...

[00:49:22] What's going on here?

[00:49:24] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:49:24] [SPEAKER_02]: It's flying very low.

[00:49:26] [SPEAKER_02]: What are you doing in your yard?

[00:49:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not doing anything.

[00:49:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Right now the cats have a bird trapped in the front porch.

[00:49:33] [SPEAKER_02]: The door's open.

[00:49:34] [SPEAKER_02]: It'll get out.

[00:49:34] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a screened in porch.

[00:49:36] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what happened.

[00:49:37] [SPEAKER_02]: They're way too short.

[00:49:38] [SPEAKER_02]: They can't get to it.

[00:49:40] [SPEAKER_02]: I tried to get out with a broom.

[00:49:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's just them being bad.

[00:49:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:49:44] [SPEAKER_02]: No problem.

[00:49:46] [SPEAKER_02]: One little piece of sporting news.

[00:49:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Would you like to buy a Major League Baseball team?

[00:49:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Sure.

[00:49:54] [SPEAKER_02]: No, I wouldn't.

[00:49:55] No, you won't?

[00:49:56] Okay.

[00:49:56] [SPEAKER_02]: This season's too long.

[00:49:57] [SPEAKER_02]: I would lose interest.

[00:49:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Minnesota Twins are up for sale.

[00:50:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh!

[00:50:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Aww!

[00:50:03] [SPEAKER_02]: The Minnesota can't lose them.

[00:50:05] [SPEAKER_03]: I loved Kirby Puckett.

[00:50:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh...

[00:50:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Gary Gaietti.

[00:50:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Kirby Puckett.

[00:50:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Hi for him.

[00:50:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Gary Gaietti.

[00:50:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Gary Gaietti.

[00:50:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I remember.

[00:50:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Everybody remembers Kirby.

[00:50:15] [SPEAKER_02]: He's a chubby little thing.

[00:50:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:50:16] [SPEAKER_02]: They just pounded the ball.

[00:50:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they died.

[00:50:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Like, no.

[00:50:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:50:20] Terrible.

[00:50:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:50:21] [SPEAKER_02]: The owners of the Minnesota Twins have hired investment bank, Allen & Company, to explore

[00:50:26] [SPEAKER_02]: the sale of Major League Baseball franchise.

[00:50:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I hope they sell it to someone that's going to keep it in Minnesota.

[00:50:31] Right.

[00:50:31] [SPEAKER_02]: You shouldn't...

[00:50:32] [SPEAKER_02]: People shouldn't have to lose.

[00:50:33] I know.

[00:50:35] [SPEAKER_02]: That would be.

[00:50:35] [SPEAKER_02]: The current ownership's been in place since 1984.

[00:50:37] [SPEAKER_02]: No timeline was given on the sale of the process.

[00:50:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Um...

[00:50:41] [SPEAKER_02]: This guy, the family that has them, Polad family, they bought the Twins for $44 million.

[00:50:46] That seems cheap.

[00:50:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I know.

[00:50:48] [SPEAKER_02]: With his family's four decades stint as owners, ranking as the fourth longest MLB behind the

[00:50:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Yankees, the White Sox, the Phillies, the Twins have been valued at $1.4 billion.

[00:51:01] Cool.

[00:51:01] [SPEAKER_02]: And $1.7 billion by Forbes.

[00:51:04] Hmm.

[00:51:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Hmm.

[00:51:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Um...

[00:51:05] [SPEAKER_02]: The last team to change hands was the Baltimore Orioles, who were acquired by...

[00:51:09] [SPEAKER_02]: So, but they stayed in Baltimore.

[00:51:11] [SPEAKER_02]: That's Lou is his team.

[00:51:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:51:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Him and Joan Jett are the only two people I know that are Orioles fans and say it out loud.

[00:51:16] [SPEAKER_00]: They're proud of it.

[00:51:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:51:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Um...

[00:51:20] [SPEAKER_02]: I told Lou, get down there and throw out a first pitch, and then they didn't even make

[00:51:23] [SPEAKER_02]: the playoffs.

[00:51:24] Oh my God.

[00:51:24] [SPEAKER_02]: I know.

[00:51:25] [SPEAKER_02]: It's such a terrible summer.

[00:51:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Terrible.

[00:51:28] Um...

[00:51:29] Hmm...

[00:51:29] [SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't say if they're gonna keep him there or not, but that may be an MLB thing,

[00:51:36] [SPEAKER_02]: too.

[00:51:36] [SPEAKER_02]: They may tell him stay or go.

[00:51:38] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:51:39] [SPEAKER_02]: You don't have to buy it?

[00:51:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I can't think of any super rich...

[00:51:43] [SPEAKER_02]: The Prince of State.

[00:51:43] [SPEAKER_02]: My friend Nick Schwartzen.

[00:51:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:51:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Think he could come up with $1.4 billion?

[00:51:48] [SPEAKER_02]: That's a lot more movies for Nick to make.

[00:51:51] [SPEAKER_02]: That's a lot of movies.

[00:51:51] The Prince of State.

[00:51:52] [SPEAKER_02]: The Prince of State.

[00:51:53] [SPEAKER_02]: The Prince wouldn't care about no baseball.

[00:51:56] [SPEAKER_02]: He liked basketball.

[00:51:57] [SPEAKER_02]: We don't know that.

[00:51:57] [SPEAKER_02]: He liked basketball.

[00:51:58] [SPEAKER_02]: I do know that.

[00:51:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh.

[00:52:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Speaking of indigenous people, because we were talking about that, this is kind of scary.

[00:52:08] Okay.

[00:52:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Inuit elders, and there's a picture of a woman who looks to be about 380.

[00:52:14] Okay.

[00:52:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Yep.

[00:52:15] [SPEAKER_02]: And she's in...

[00:52:16] [SPEAKER_02]: It's hard living up there.

[00:52:17] [SPEAKER_02]: It's very hard living.

[00:52:18] [SPEAKER_02]: And there's not a lot of lotion, I bet.

[00:52:20] [SPEAKER_02]: She needs some facial products.

[00:52:21] [SPEAKER_02]: There's no lotion.

[00:52:24] [SPEAKER_02]: They are saying, as a warning, and they've warned NASA, and they're warning the world,

[00:52:29] [SPEAKER_02]: that the Earth has shifted.

[00:52:32] [SPEAKER_02]: A new warning has come to NASA from the Inuits.

[00:52:34] [SPEAKER_02]: They are warning that the change in climate is not due to global warming, but rather because

[00:52:38] [SPEAKER_02]: of the Earth shifting a bit.

[00:52:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh!

[00:52:41] [SPEAKER_01]: New theory!

[00:52:42] [SPEAKER_01]: New theory!

[00:52:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh!

[00:52:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Earth shifting!

[00:52:46] [SPEAKER_01]: What does that even mean?

[00:52:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Are we on our side?

[00:52:49] [SPEAKER_01]: We don't know.

[00:52:50] [SPEAKER_02]: We don't know.

[00:52:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I'm going to tell you what they think.

[00:52:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Whew!

[00:52:53] [SPEAKER_02]: The Inuits are local people that live in the Arctic regions of Canada, the United States,

[00:52:57] [SPEAKER_02]: and Greenland.

[00:52:58] [SPEAKER_02]: They are excellent weather forecasters, and so were their ancestors.

[00:53:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Presently, they are warning NASA that the change of weather and earthquakes, blah, blah,

[00:53:04] [SPEAKER_02]: blah, are not due to global warming as the world thinks.

[00:53:06] [SPEAKER_02]: So there you go.

[00:53:07] [SPEAKER_02]: So all the anti-climate changes...

[00:53:09] [SPEAKER_02]: There you go.

[00:53:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Global warming...

[00:53:10] [SPEAKER_02]: People that don't believe in global warming, here you go.

[00:53:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Here's a little token for your pot.

[00:53:14] [SPEAKER_02]: The Earth...

[00:53:15] [SPEAKER_02]: They state the Earth has shifted or wobbled.

[00:53:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Their sky has changed.

[00:53:20] [SPEAKER_02]: The elders declare that the sun rises at a different position now, not where it used

[00:53:24] [SPEAKER_02]: to previously.

[00:53:25] [SPEAKER_02]: They also have longer daylight to hunt.

[00:53:28] [SPEAKER_02]: The sun is much higher than earlier, and it gets warmer much quickly.

[00:53:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Much more quickly.

[00:53:33] Huh!

[00:53:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Other elders across North also confirm the same thing about the sky changing when interviewed.

[00:53:38] [SPEAKER_02]: They also allege that the position of the sun, moon, and stars of all change causing changes

[00:53:43] [SPEAKER_02]: in temperature.

[00:53:44] [SPEAKER_02]: This has also affected the wind.

[00:53:46] [SPEAKER_02]: It is very difficult to predict the weather now, and according to them, predicting weather

[00:53:49] [SPEAKER_02]: is necessary when you're living up there.

[00:53:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Wow!

[00:53:54] [SPEAKER_02]: All the elders confirm that it has shifted, wobbled, or tilted towards the North.

[00:53:59] [SPEAKER_02]: This information provided by the Inuit elders has caused great concern in the NASA scientists.

[00:54:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, what are we supposed to do about it?

[00:54:10] [SPEAKER_02]: We need like a crane to...

[00:54:12] [SPEAKER_02]: A space crane to tilt us back?

[00:54:15] Uh...

[00:54:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:54:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe it's just what's supposed to happen.

[00:54:17] Maybe.

[00:54:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe that's why all those doomsday preppers are on the right track, going down to Costco

[00:54:22] [SPEAKER_02]: and buying space meals.

[00:54:24] [SPEAKER_00]: We need a scientific friend.

[00:54:26] [SPEAKER_00]: We're sitting here drinking beer going, huh!

[00:54:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm drinking beer eating some sort of crazy potato chip.

[00:54:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Speaking of Canada, this is not your fault, Paddles.

[00:54:38] [SPEAKER_02]: This is our fault.

[00:54:39] Okay.

[00:54:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Ugh, people are crazy.

[00:54:43] [SPEAKER_02]: This is the kind of shit you won't hear on real news, but it is news and you should

[00:54:46] [SPEAKER_02]: know about it.

[00:54:47] [SPEAKER_02]: A woman from China pleaded guilty to attempting to smuggle 29 eastern box turtles, a protected

[00:54:53] [SPEAKER_02]: species, across a Vermont lake into Canada by kayak.

[00:55:03] [SPEAKER_02]: It is a border, but they figure nobody's on the other side of this quiet little lake that

[00:55:08] [SPEAKER_02]: looks like from Golden Pond.

[00:55:11] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna get me some turtles and I'm just gonna row over there and then the next thing

[00:55:16] [SPEAKER_02]: you know, two Mounties come out dressed like those cartoon Mounties and you're like, oh shit!

[00:55:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Shit!

[00:55:21] [SPEAKER_01]: What have you got in your bag?

[00:55:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:55:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I'll tell you.

[00:55:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Wan Yee Ji, 41 years old, was arrested on the morning of June 28th at an Airbnb in Cannon.

[00:55:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Of course!

[00:55:34] [SPEAKER_02]: As she was about to get into an inflatable kayak with a duffel bag on Lake Wallace, according

[00:55:40] [SPEAKER_02]: to Border Patrol agents' affidavit filed in federal court.

[00:55:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Agents had been noted by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police that two other people, including

[00:55:47] [SPEAKER_02]: a man who was believed to be her husband, had started to paddle an inflatable watercraft

[00:55:52] [SPEAKER_02]: from the Canadian side of the lake towards the United States.

[00:55:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh!

[00:55:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh!

[00:55:56] [SPEAKER_02]: I read it wrong the first time.

[00:55:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh!

[00:55:59] [SPEAKER_02]: She's from...

[00:56:00] [SPEAKER_02]: She's Canadian!

[00:56:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, she's Chinese.

[00:56:02] [SPEAKER_02]: She's from China.

[00:56:03] [SPEAKER_02]: She snuck into Canada.

[00:56:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh!

[00:56:07] [SPEAKER_02]: But see, they caught her before she even got going.

[00:56:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Nice!

[00:56:10] [SPEAKER_02]: The agent searched her heavy duffel bag and found 29 live Eastern box turtles individually

[00:56:15] [SPEAKER_02]: wrapped in socks.

[00:56:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Socks?

[00:56:17] [SPEAKER_02]: They're known to be sold on the Chinese black market for $1,000 each.

[00:56:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Is this for their turtle soup?

[00:56:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Seriously.

[00:56:24] [SPEAKER_02]: What are they doing?

[00:56:25] [SPEAKER_00]: I think the French are into turtle soup.

[00:56:27] [SPEAKER_02]: The French are into turtle soup?

[00:56:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't think that's a Chinese thing.

[00:56:31] [SPEAKER_00]: We gotta take that as a side thing.

[00:56:32] [SPEAKER_02]: What are they doing?

[00:56:32] [SPEAKER_02]: It looks like a regular box turtle from Missouri.

[00:56:34] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't understand what the big deal is.

[00:56:36] [SPEAKER_02]: It's Chinese.

[00:56:37] [SPEAKER_02]: It looks exactly like the turtles I would catch as a kid.

[00:56:39] Turtle soup.

[00:56:42] [SPEAKER_02]: What do they want it for?

[00:56:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, God!

[00:56:44] [SPEAKER_00]: They put it in the soup.

[00:56:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Like a turtle.

[00:56:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Like a whole turtle in a soup.

[00:56:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, God!

[00:56:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Is it legal in the US?

[00:56:50] [SPEAKER_02]: No!

[00:56:50] [SPEAKER_02]: No, it's not legal.

[00:56:51] [SPEAKER_00]: No!

[00:56:52] [SPEAKER_00]: That was the first thing.

[00:56:52] It's Google.

[00:56:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Her cell phone was seized and searched by law enforcement found communications showing she

[00:56:58] [SPEAKER_02]: tried to smuggle the turtles into Canada so that they could eventually be sold for profit

[00:57:02] [SPEAKER_02]: in Hong Kong.

[00:57:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Soft shell turtle soup.

[00:57:04] It's a...

[00:57:04] Yeah.

[00:57:05] [SPEAKER_02]: She was living in Canada.

[00:57:06] [SPEAKER_02]: This is your fault, Paddles.

[00:57:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Whoa!

[00:57:08] [SPEAKER_02]: She pleaded guilty.

[00:57:10] [SPEAKER_02]: She should.

[00:57:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Wow!

[00:57:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:57:11] [SPEAKER_02]: She's scheduled to be sentenced in December and faces up to 10 years in prison.

[00:57:17] Oh, my.

[00:57:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Over...

[00:57:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Even if you did all this, and let's say you were successful, $29,000 is not enough to

[00:57:23] [SPEAKER_02]: go to prison for 10 years.

[00:57:25] And no.

[00:57:25] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:57:26] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:57:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Even if you're poor.

[00:57:28] [SPEAKER_02]: It's...

[00:57:28] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:57:29] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not enough.

[00:57:29] [SPEAKER_02]: And where'd you get the inflatable kayaks?

[00:57:31] [SPEAKER_02]: You had to spend money on that.

[00:57:32] Yeah.

[00:57:32] REI.

[00:57:33] [SPEAKER_02]: REI.

[00:57:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:57:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:57:34] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, if you...

[00:57:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe if you hit a Memorial Day sale.

[00:57:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Or in Canada, Mount Equipment Co-op.

[00:57:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Mount Equipment...

[00:57:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Mountain Equipment Co-op.

[00:57:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Mountain Equipment Co-op.

[00:57:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:57:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:57:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, all right.

[00:57:45] [SPEAKER_00]: You got to get a membership to that.

[00:57:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Um...

[00:57:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Turtle soup.

[00:57:48] [SPEAKER_00]: You get a membership.

[00:57:49] [SPEAKER_00]: You do.

[00:57:51] [SPEAKER_00]: You get one when you graduate from high school.

[00:57:52] [SPEAKER_00]: It's awesome.

[00:57:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Who gives you one when you get to graduate from high school?

[00:57:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Any good parents.

[00:57:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, a parent.

[00:57:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Not the company.

[00:57:58] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:57:58] [SPEAKER_02]: All right.

[00:57:59] [SPEAKER_02]: This was one of my favorite moments of the week, and you're going to have

[00:58:02] [SPEAKER_02]: to go and look online at this.

[00:58:06] [SPEAKER_02]: So, sorry I can't show you, but...

[00:58:08] Shut up.

[00:58:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Bath and Body Works candle removed from stores when some say...

[00:58:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Actually, everyone says.

[00:58:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Everyone should say.

[00:58:18] [SPEAKER_02]: It looks like a KKK hood.

[00:58:19] [SPEAKER_02]: It does.

[00:58:20] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know how many levels these things have to go through for approval.

[00:58:24] [SPEAKER_02]: How many of you missed that?

[00:58:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Here's our new candle.

[00:58:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Bob, does it look good?

[00:58:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, it's good.

[00:58:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:58:30] [SPEAKER_02]: And it keeps on going.

[00:58:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, my God.

[00:58:32] [SPEAKER_02]: The snowflake design resembled the KKK hoods.

[00:58:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Meant to be a nod to the folded snowflake cutout, you know, like you used to do when

[00:58:40] [SPEAKER_02]: you were a kid.

[00:58:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:58:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Make a snowflake where you cut it all out.

[00:58:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:58:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Huge swing and a miss.

[00:58:48] [SPEAKER_02]: The company issued an apology on Thursday about the snowed-in-three wick candle.

[00:58:53] [SPEAKER_02]: So, at Bath and Body Works, we are committed to listening to our teams and customers and

[00:58:57] [SPEAKER_02]: committed to fixing any mistakes we made, even those that are unintentional like this

[00:59:01] [SPEAKER_02]: one.

[00:59:01] [SPEAKER_02]: We apologize to anyone we've offended or swiftly working to have this item removed and

[00:59:06] [SPEAKER_02]: are evaluating our process for going forward.

[00:59:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Wow.

[00:59:09] [SPEAKER_03]: It's crazy.

[00:59:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:59:12] Wow.

[00:59:13] Wow.

[00:59:13] [SPEAKER_02]: People were tweeting about it.

[00:59:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Initially, I didn't see it, but now I can't unsee it.

[00:59:18] [SPEAKER_02]: And then said, nobody caught it.

[00:59:20] [SPEAKER_02]: People are looking for reasons to be outraged.

[00:59:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Nobody's outraged.

[00:59:24] [SPEAKER_02]: It just looked like that.

[00:59:25] [SPEAKER_02]: And I mean, I know it was a mistake.

[00:59:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Nobody's going to do that on purpose.

[00:59:29] [SPEAKER_02]: You'd only get outraged if you thought they did it on purpose.

[00:59:32] [SPEAKER_02]: It's funny because it was just a mistake and nobody caught it.

[00:59:36] No.

[00:59:37] No.

[00:59:38] [SPEAKER_02]: People claiming they can't see it or gaslighting.

[00:59:40] [SPEAKER_02]: It's staring you right in the face.

[00:59:41] [SPEAKER_02]: No, it's only staring at you with two eyes because it has a hood on.

[00:59:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Being offended is subjective.

[00:59:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Just because you aren't doesn't mean other people's feelings are invalid.

[00:59:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:59:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Fine.

[00:59:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Whatever.

[00:59:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Make your feelings known.

[00:59:55] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not in first.

[00:59:58] It's crazy.

[00:59:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:00:00] [SPEAKER_02]: So I thought Bed Bath & Body Works, I guess it's online.

[01:00:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Where are they selling these things?

[01:00:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Not anymore.

[01:00:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Not anymore.

[01:00:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[01:00:08] [SPEAKER_00]: I think they went to the stores.

[01:00:09] [SPEAKER_00]: That's why people were like, what the fuck?

[01:00:11] [SPEAKER_02]: I guess.

[01:00:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[01:00:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:00:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Here's a great, great story that maybe I should sit with on my own self.

[01:00:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Because now if I don't bring the cat food in, but they like it outside.

[01:00:23] [SPEAKER_02]: That's their thing.

[01:00:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I know what you're going to talk about.

[01:00:25] [SPEAKER_02]: If I don't bring it in by dark and it keeps getting darker earlier sooner and I'm not

[01:00:30] [SPEAKER_02]: clicking into that, the raccoon's gone.

[01:00:32] Because you're at Pickleball.

[01:00:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I'm at Pickleball.

[01:00:34] [SPEAKER_02]: And then I'll be like, shit, halfway through Pickleball.

[01:00:37] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, shit.

[01:00:38] [SPEAKER_02]: And then Pinky Tito thinks he did something wrong.

[01:00:40] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no.

[01:00:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I forgot to bring the cat food in.

[01:00:43] [SPEAKER_02]: And there's three small raccoons.

[01:00:45] [SPEAKER_02]: They're kids.

[01:00:46] [SPEAKER_02]: They're not the adults because the adults can get very large.

[01:00:48] [SPEAKER_02]: And they come up and they just grab handfuls.

[01:00:51] [SPEAKER_02]: And they're not afraid of me.

[01:00:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Really?

[01:00:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Handfuls.

[01:00:53] [SPEAKER_02]: They take both hands and just scoop it up.

[01:00:55] [SPEAKER_02]: And then if I yell at them, they go, bah!

[01:00:57] [SPEAKER_02]: And they throw the food everywhere and then they come back.

[01:00:59] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a thing.

[01:01:00] Uh-huh.

[01:01:01] [SPEAKER_02]: But I do think they're cute, but I'm not feeding them on purpose.

[01:01:04] Okay.

[01:01:04] [SPEAKER_02]: At all.

[01:01:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Thanks for getting ahead of that.

[01:01:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, this woman did.

[01:01:07] Okay.

[01:01:08] [SPEAKER_02]: In Washington, the state of.

[01:01:10] [SPEAKER_02]: And she had a call.

[01:01:11] I saw this.

[01:01:12] [SPEAKER_02]: She had a call 911 because she was being hounded by a hundred raccoons.

[01:01:17] [SPEAKER_02]: That's the thing.

[01:01:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Once they find out where the party is.

[01:01:20] [SPEAKER_02]: But I could say the same with the cats as Cedric woke me up this morning sitting right

[01:01:24] [SPEAKER_02]: outside waiting for breakfast.

[01:01:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Hello, lady.

[01:01:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, my God.

[01:01:28] [SPEAKER_02]: I see your home.

[01:01:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I think, yeah.

[01:01:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Your friend Aubrey was great, but I'd like a little more time.

[01:01:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Wow.

[01:01:36] [SPEAKER_02]: The woman having, the woman reported having to flee her property after 50 to 100 raccoons

[01:01:42] [SPEAKER_02]: descended upon it and were acting aggressively.

[01:01:45] [SPEAKER_02]: She told the deputies she started feeding a family of raccoons decades ago and it was

[01:01:50] [SPEAKER_02]: fine until about six weeks earlier when the number went up from five to 100.

[01:01:55] Oh, my God.

[01:01:57] [SPEAKER_02]: A decade.

[01:01:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, wow.

[01:01:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Free food.

[01:02:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Somebody, and I'm sure the original five were like, fuck, who told everybody?

[01:02:04] [SPEAKER_02]: We had a good thing going here.

[01:02:05] [SPEAKER_02]: For years and years and years this lady would feed us.

[01:02:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Totally.

[01:02:08] [SPEAKER_02]: And now all these jackasses from the next city.

[01:02:11] Wow.

[01:02:12] [SPEAKER_02]: She said the raccoons were becoming increasingly more aggressive, demanding food, and they would

[01:02:16] [SPEAKER_02]: hound her day and night scratching outside of her home at the door.

[01:02:19] [SPEAKER_02]: If she pulled up in her car, they would surround the car, scratch it, surround her if

[01:02:23] [SPEAKER_02]: she went from her front door to the car and went outside.

[01:02:25] [SPEAKER_02]: They saw this as a food store, so they kept going back to it and they kept expecting food.

[01:02:29] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not clear what caused their numbers to balloon suddenly.

[01:02:33] [SPEAKER_02]: No laws were broken.

[01:02:35] [SPEAKER_02]: We're moving.

[01:02:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Can you imagine you go out and there's a hundred?

[01:02:39] [SPEAKER_02]: That's crazy.

[01:02:41] [SPEAKER_02]: What's wrong with you?

[01:02:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, while it's illegal to feed large carnivores such as bears or cougars, it's not illegal

[01:02:47] [SPEAKER_02]: to do this.

[01:02:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, some municipalities have laws against it.

[01:02:51] [SPEAKER_02]: It is currently not against the state law that there is to do it.

[01:02:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Regardless, the agency discourages people from feeding wild raccoons, for example, can

[01:02:58] [SPEAKER_02]: carry diseases and food can attract other predators such as coyotes and bears.

[01:03:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe there.

[01:03:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Coyote here.

[01:03:06] [SPEAKER_02]: I've seen one, two in my life on, in the yard.

[01:03:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Those raccoons.

[01:03:10] [SPEAKER_02]: About five in the morning just gallivanting down by the lake.

[01:03:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Here?

[01:03:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Yep.

[01:03:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that's good.

[01:03:15] [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't know that.

[01:03:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Yep.

[01:03:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.

[01:03:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Your raccoons look like monkeys.

[01:03:21] [SPEAKER_02]: They kind of do look like monkeys.

[01:03:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Skinny and weird.

[01:03:24] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a 90 minute car ride where she lives and a ferry ride northwest of Seattle.

[01:03:30] [SPEAKER_02]: So, that would be freakish if you're used to five and you go out and there's a hundred.

[01:03:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh-huh.

[01:03:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, holy shit show.

[01:03:38] Uh-huh.

[01:03:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Here's a little something interesting from a termite.

[01:03:40] [SPEAKER_02]: This is from a termite research assistant, Claudia.

[01:03:42] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know how I missed this.

[01:03:44] [SPEAKER_02]: So, quick trip, gas stations, very proud to say, are from Kansas City.

[01:03:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Really?

[01:03:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[01:03:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[01:03:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Was ranked second in the nation in best convenience stores.

[01:03:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh.

[01:03:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Yep.

[01:03:57] [SPEAKER_02]: And, um, it was based, this survey was conducted based on 5,710 randomly selected customers.

[01:04:06] [SPEAKER_02]: It was between March and September of this year.

[01:04:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Do you want to guess what number two was nationally?

[01:04:14] Buccoons?

[01:04:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Nope.

[01:04:16] Okay.

[01:04:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Pennsylvania-based Wawa.

[01:04:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I like a Wawa.

[01:04:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Wawa's are great.

[01:04:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:04:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Store of 82.

[01:04:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Quick Trip came in in second.

[01:04:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Buc-ee's came in third.

[01:04:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Wow.

[01:04:26] [SPEAKER_02]: At 80%.

[01:04:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Here's the thing, Wawa's a lot.

[01:04:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Wawa's run in, run out.

[01:04:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Buc-ee's is an experience.

[01:04:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:04:32] [SPEAKER_02]: I can't even compare them.

[01:04:34] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[01:04:34] [SPEAKER_02]: I would compare Quick Trip and Wawa.

[01:04:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh-huh.

[01:04:37] [SPEAKER_02]: And I just, I think because where they're located.

[01:04:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Yep.

[01:04:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Quick trips are never as crowded.

[01:04:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Agreed.

[01:04:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Wawa's can get kind of packed and it's discouraging sometimes, especially late at night.

[01:04:50] [SPEAKER_02]: And then I always think if I lived, if I was a kid and I was 16, my parents wouldn't have allowed it.

[01:04:54] [SPEAKER_02]: But I would be like, I want to work the midnight shift at Wawa to see crazy ass people.

[01:05:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Everybody's drunk.

[01:05:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Everybody's drunk and shit face or crazy.

[01:05:04] [SPEAKER_02]: But I also think I might get hurt.

[01:05:06] [SPEAKER_02]: But, um, I don't think you can count Buc-ee's with that.

[01:05:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Buc-ee's is an experience.

[01:05:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, but congratulations to Quick Trip in Kansas City.

[01:05:15] [SPEAKER_02]: So there you go.

[01:05:15] [SPEAKER_02]: If you ever see one and you think, oh, I've never been in, have at it.

[01:05:19] [SPEAKER_02]: I think, I don't know why loves didn't make it either.

[01:05:21] QT, right?

[01:05:21] [SPEAKER_02]: QT.

[01:05:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:05:23] [SPEAKER_02]: But it's, some of them actually spell out Quick Trip.

[01:05:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Loves is so trucker.

[01:05:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Like the truckers love it.

[01:05:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Loves because they cater to the truckers.

[01:05:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:05:31] [SPEAKER_02]: This is all you hear when you're in Loves.

[01:05:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Shower number 37, your shower is ready.

[01:05:36] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, I wonder, I've always wondered, are there any truckers listening?

[01:05:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Are there showers good?

[01:05:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, I do wonder.

[01:05:44] [SPEAKER_02]: It, I mean, it's a, again, I said, are there any truckers?

[01:05:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Truckers, look at them work.

[01:05:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:05:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, I've got two McDonald's announcements.

[01:05:54] Two?

[01:05:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Two.

[01:05:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[01:05:56] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a big week at McDonald's.

[01:05:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[01:05:59] [SPEAKER_02]: McDonald's quietly confirms the return of a fan favorite sandwich, but it will only be

[01:06:03] [SPEAKER_02]: around for four weeks.

[01:06:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Guess what it is.

[01:06:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Wow.

[01:06:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Guess what season it is.

[01:06:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Thanksgiving.

[01:06:13] [SPEAKER_02]: It is.

[01:06:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Today is Thanksgiving.

[01:06:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Today is your Thanksgiving, Pettles.

[01:06:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, okay.

[01:06:17] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[01:06:18] [SPEAKER_02]: This has, what, what, when did McDonald's have a Thanksgiving season?

[01:06:22] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[01:06:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Never.

[01:06:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, maybe it's a Thanksgiving sandwich.

[01:06:25] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[01:06:26] [SPEAKER_02]: This is, the thing is, this sandwich does not match the season.

[01:06:29] [SPEAKER_02]: It's fall now and they're bringing back the McRib.

[01:06:33] What?

[01:06:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Yep.

[01:06:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Gross.

[01:06:35] [SPEAKER_02]: I can't think of anything more gross than a McRib from McDonald's.

[01:06:40] [SPEAKER_02]: And I don't, I like their cheeseburgers.

[01:06:42] [SPEAKER_02]: I like their ice cream and I used to like their fries till they made them healthy.

[01:06:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Now I don't want their fries.

[01:06:45] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[01:06:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:06:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Four weeks you can get the McRib.

[01:06:48] [SPEAKER_02]: It's got chopped onions, it's pork and it has pickles on it.

[01:06:51] [SPEAKER_02]: It's returning to America from November 27th.

[01:06:56] Wow.

[01:06:57] [SPEAKER_02]: That's gross.

[01:06:59] [SPEAKER_02]: They're trying to win customers back.

[01:07:01] [SPEAKER_02]: I've never even been with somebody in a car who ordered a McRib.

[01:07:04] [SPEAKER_02]: There are so many places to get good barbecue in America.

[01:07:08] Or a better sandwich at McDonald's.

[01:07:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Or a better sandwich at McDonald's.

[01:07:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[01:07:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Why would you, out of all the things to order at McDonald's, like, yeah man.

[01:07:17] [SPEAKER_02]: And their sauce looks so sweet it makes me want to vomit.

[01:07:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Like, I don't mind red sauce.

[01:07:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:07:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Theirs is too, it's like purple.

[01:07:24] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like Chinese food.

[01:07:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:07:26] [SPEAKER_02]: It's too saucy.

[01:07:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:07:27] [SPEAKER_02]: It looks like Kung Pao.

[01:07:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:07:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Kung Pao.

[01:07:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:07:31] [SPEAKER_02]: You're a little late on this.

[01:07:33] [SPEAKER_02]: You got, this was made up in 1982, the McRib, by the way.

[01:07:37] [SPEAKER_02]: They have a new president, Joel Erlinger.

[01:07:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Joel, this is a terrible idea.

[01:07:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Terrible.

[01:07:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Nobody gives a shit about the McRib.

[01:07:44] [SPEAKER_02]: And then you gotta have all that separate stuff just for that.

[01:07:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:07:47] [SPEAKER_02]: It was discontinued in 1985 after low sales, but returned in 1989.

[01:07:51] [SPEAKER_02]: It was broadly available until 2005.

[01:07:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, you've had to cancel it twice, Joe.

[01:07:55] Uh-huh.

[01:07:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's not do that again.

[01:07:59] [SPEAKER_02]: They should ask normal people to come to these meetings.

[01:08:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Just 10 normal people.

[01:08:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[01:08:02] [SPEAKER_02]: How many of you guys would, okay, today you can have anything from, you want from McDonald's.

[01:08:06] Right.

[01:08:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Out of 10, how many things say McRib?

[01:08:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Zero.

[01:08:09] Zero.

[01:08:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[01:08:10] Yeah.

[01:08:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, bringing, here's his, their theory.

[01:08:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Wow.

[01:08:14] [SPEAKER_02]: They're bringing it back for a limited time will spur some interest in foot traffic from

[01:08:17] [SPEAKER_02]: McDonald's while its performance is flagging, at a time when its performance is flagging.

[01:08:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Because you have a McRib and a chicken Big Mac.

[01:08:26] Come on.

[01:08:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Germany's had it on the menu for, okay, but in Germany there is no other barbecue.

[01:08:30] [SPEAKER_02]: There's a barbecue.

[01:08:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[01:08:31] [SPEAKER_02]: It returned to Canada in January.

[01:08:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Sorry, I know.

[01:08:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Yep.

[01:08:35] [SPEAKER_02]: You're starting this shit up there.

[01:08:37] [SPEAKER_00]: I know.

[01:08:37] [SPEAKER_00]: We love Jack Daniels sauce.

[01:08:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh.

[01:08:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Now, I'm gonna tell you what else they've decided to do.

[01:08:43] [SPEAKER_02]: What?

[01:08:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Just because these are things you need to know if you're on the road.

[01:08:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Yep.

[01:08:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, their highly anticipated chicken Big Mac drops at US restaurants this month.

[01:08:55] [SPEAKER_02]: It looks like that.

[01:08:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Here's what I'm seeing.

[01:08:57] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm seeing an enormous sandwich, which is ridiculous.

[01:09:00] [SPEAKER_02]: It has two chicken patties.

[01:09:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Two?

[01:09:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh huh.

[01:09:03] [SPEAKER_02]: One, two, three pieces of bread, a bun, a layer, and then the bottom.

[01:09:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Fans have been clamoring for McDonald's big chicken Big Mac with a twist on the original

[01:09:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Big Mac.

[01:09:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, the original Big Mac was meat.

[01:09:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[01:09:17] [SPEAKER_02]: That's hardly a twist.

[01:09:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[01:09:19] [SPEAKER_00]: It's got like three buns or something.

[01:09:21] [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of buns.

[01:09:22] [SPEAKER_02]: It starts on October 10th.

[01:09:24] [SPEAKER_02]: So it started with participating locations while supplies last.

[01:09:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, stop that.

[01:09:28] [SPEAKER_02]: You don't need to put while supplies last anymore.

[01:09:31] [SPEAKER_02]: That's so 1970s.

[01:09:32] [SPEAKER_02]: There's a bird flu.

[01:09:33] [SPEAKER_02]: While supplies last.

[01:09:35] [SPEAKER_02]: There is a bird flu.

[01:09:36] [SPEAKER_02]: The birds are all sick.

[01:09:37] [SPEAKER_02]: That's why eggs are costing more.

[01:09:39] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not because of Joe Biden.

[01:09:40] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm so sick of hearing that.

[01:09:42] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, there's a bird flu epidemic.

[01:09:45] [SPEAKER_02]: There's an actual goddamn reason for it.

[01:09:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Joe Biden hates the flu.

[01:09:47] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, Joe Biden's got issues.

[01:09:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I get it.

[01:09:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not getting political.

[01:09:50] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm just saying, don't blame gas prices.

[01:09:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Anytime people gain gas prices or eggs on who's ever president.

[01:09:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[01:09:57] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't care.

[01:09:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Nobody should get the credit and nobody should get the blame.

[01:09:59] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[01:09:59] [SPEAKER_02]: It's just things happen in life.

[01:10:01] [SPEAKER_02]: One bird got the flu.

[01:10:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Then he made out with a bird and another bird and they're all making out.

[01:10:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Is that how it's contracted?

[01:10:08] [SPEAKER_02]: That's what I decided.

[01:10:11] [SPEAKER_00]: No, we don't know.

[01:10:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh my God.

[01:10:16] [SPEAKER_02]: They're serving up more than just a sandwich.

[01:10:18] [SPEAKER_02]: This is truly for everyone to enjoy the campaign and bringing experiences.

[01:10:21] [SPEAKER_02]: See, but this is going to hurt the regular chicken sandwich.

[01:10:25] [SPEAKER_02]: What are we doing here?

[01:10:29] [SPEAKER_02]: They should come up with like a subsurface sandwich.

[01:10:34] [SPEAKER_00]: A Thanksgiving one.

[01:10:35] [SPEAKER_02]: A Thanksgiving sub.

[01:10:36] [SPEAKER_02]: It's got dressing.

[01:10:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[01:10:38] [SPEAKER_02]: And turkey.

[01:10:38] [SPEAKER_02]: People would love it.

[01:10:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Probably.

[01:10:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Wawa has it.

[01:10:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, they spotted a similar sandwich at McDonald's inspired by all the buzz, blah, blah, blah.

[01:10:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Some, I don't know.

[01:10:51] [SPEAKER_02]: The secret is out.

[01:10:53] [SPEAKER_02]: It's got two chicken patties in the place of two all beef patties.

[01:10:56] [SPEAKER_02]: It's this unique taste gives family that they crave, blah, blah, blah.

[01:10:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm seeing all kinds of other crap on there too.

[01:11:02] [SPEAKER_02]: So be careful when you order it.

[01:11:04] [SPEAKER_02]: If you don't want pickles and all that nonsense, you're going to have to say it.

[01:11:09] [SPEAKER_01]: We got to go get one.

[01:11:10] [SPEAKER_02]: You know what?

[01:11:11] [SPEAKER_02]: I will go get one.

[01:11:12] [SPEAKER_02]: I'll try one for fun.

[01:11:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Just see how big it is.

[01:11:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.

[01:11:19] [SPEAKER_02]: All right.

[01:11:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Southwest reveals when and how it will get rid of open seating.

[01:11:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Southwest fans?

[01:11:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Southwest airlines.

[01:11:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.

[01:11:31] [SPEAKER_02]: I thought you said, what do you mean?

[01:11:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Finally.

[01:11:36] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not going to go away for more than a year.

[01:11:38] [SPEAKER_02]: You have one year left.

[01:11:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Hello, my comedian friend, Aaron Weber.

[01:11:42] [SPEAKER_02]: You love Southwest.

[01:11:43] [SPEAKER_00]: This is happening in a year from now?

[01:11:45] [SPEAKER_02]: It's going to take that long.

[01:11:46] [SPEAKER_02]: They got to reconfigure the whole plane.

[01:11:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Stop it.

[01:11:48] [SPEAKER_00]: No, you don't.

[01:11:49] [SPEAKER_02]: And then I read they're going to Europe.

[01:11:50] [SPEAKER_02]: You couldn't pay me a bazillion dollars.

[01:11:54] [SPEAKER_02]: What are Southwest?

[01:11:54] [SPEAKER_02]: They're all the same.

[01:11:55] [SPEAKER_02]: 737.

[01:11:56] [SPEAKER_02]: That's just not big enough to go to Europe.

[01:11:58] [SPEAKER_02]: They got so excited because they introduced a flight from Nashville to Iceland, which I would love.

[01:12:03] [SPEAKER_02]: A direct flight.

[01:12:04] [SPEAKER_02]: But it's on a 737.

[01:12:05] [SPEAKER_02]: No, I'm not going over the ocean.

[01:12:07] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[01:12:08] [SPEAKER_02]: I'll go over the Mississippi.

[01:12:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Because I know I can swim it.

[01:12:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I might drown.

[01:12:13] [SPEAKER_02]: But I know I can see land.

[01:12:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[01:12:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it's going to take a year.

[01:12:18] [SPEAKER_02]: You'll be able to book a reserve seat in late 2025 and those seats will start to become available on flights in early 2026.

[01:12:25] [SPEAKER_02]: 2026.

[01:12:26] Wow.

[01:12:27] Okay.

[01:12:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.

[01:12:28] [SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be a hot minute.

[01:12:30] [SPEAKER_02]: This cattle call is going to go on and on and on.

[01:12:33] That's ridiculous.

[01:12:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:12:36] [SPEAKER_02]: It's their investors are like, look, we're missing out on all this extra money.

[01:12:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, they confirmed that they will continue to allow passengers to check up to two bags for no fee.

[01:12:45] [SPEAKER_02]: That's great.

[01:12:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that is great.

[01:12:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Because these other ones, they do it and then they keep raising it and raising it and, you know, spirit.

[01:12:53] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what it is now to check a bag.

[01:12:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Eight hundred forty dollars.

[01:12:55] [SPEAKER_02]: That's how they get you right there at the airport.

[01:12:57] [SPEAKER_02]: And it can't weigh more than two pounds.

[01:13:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, the U.S. airline industry collected 3.7 billion in baggage fees in just the first half of this year, according to the Bureau of Transportation statistics, which is 1% of that coming from Southwest who checked more than two bags.

[01:13:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[01:13:11] [SPEAKER_02]: So Southwest is doing a very, very nice thing by not jacking you around on that.

[01:13:15] [SPEAKER_02]: They could say you could check one and then pay for the other, but they're not.

[01:13:19] [SPEAKER_02]: It's expensive to check a bag.

[01:13:20] [SPEAKER_02]: But I also don't know how long will that actually go on.

[01:13:26] [SPEAKER_02]: One twenty five on who?

[01:13:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Southwest.

[01:13:28] [SPEAKER_02]: South.

[01:13:28] [SPEAKER_00]: To check after your second.

[01:13:31] [SPEAKER_02]: After your second.

[01:13:32] [SPEAKER_02]: And that's with business.

[01:13:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah, I had to do that for golf clubs.

[01:13:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, there you go.

[01:13:38] [SPEAKER_02]: I have two feel good stories.

[01:13:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, nice.

[01:13:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:13:41] [SPEAKER_02]: This is great.

[01:13:42] [SPEAKER_02]: In Nashville, this story came out of Nashville.

[01:13:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Cities are using sheep to graze in urban landscapes and people love it.

[01:13:49] [SPEAKER_02]: But just along the Cumberland River, north of downtown Nashville, Tennessee tourists on party pontoon floats.

[01:13:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Everything is a party vehicle with drunk people just going, I love it.

[01:14:02] [SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't matter if they see a bar or if they see a bunch of sheep.

[01:14:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Hundreds of sheep are along the Cumberland River, nibbling along the grass on the riverbank.

[01:14:14] [SPEAKER_02]: The urban sheep herder who manages his flock, Zach, said sometimes the tourist boats will go out of their way to let passengers get a closer glimpse of the Nashville chew crew.

[01:14:25] [SPEAKER_02]: They should have merch.

[01:14:26] [SPEAKER_02]: See if they have t-shirts.

[01:14:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Grazing a few hundred yards from the densely populated residential and commercial.

[01:14:30] [SPEAKER_02]: The joy people get is partially why they are becoming trendy workers in some urban areas that they should have always been used.

[01:14:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:14:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I was seeing if there was any other cities that I can tell you that are using them.

[01:14:47] [SPEAKER_02]: But if you see them out there.

[01:14:48] That'd be cool.

[01:14:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:14:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, they're a wonderful thing to keep your grass down.

[01:14:53] Yes.

[01:14:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Just as good as a...

[01:14:55] [SPEAKER_02]: And they don't go to the bathroom as much as goats.

[01:14:57] [SPEAKER_01]: They go a lot though.

[01:14:58] [SPEAKER_02]: They do go a lot.

[01:14:59] [SPEAKER_02]: A lot of times.

[01:14:59] [SPEAKER_02]: So you're going to have a whole yard full of sheep shit.

[01:15:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:15:02] [SPEAKER_02]: But your yard will be well manicured.

[01:15:04] Exactly.

[01:15:04] [SPEAKER_02]: And these aren't people's yards.

[01:15:06] [SPEAKER_02]: It's just along the Cumberland River.

[01:15:08] [SPEAKER_02]: True.

[01:15:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.

[01:15:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Just watch where you walk.

[01:15:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:15:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Here's our last feel good story.

[01:15:14] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to do some thank yous and quotes.

[01:15:16] [SPEAKER_02]: I have a new Frida book.

[01:15:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Hers are pretty dark though.

[01:15:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Her quotes are very dark.

[01:15:21] Yeah.

[01:15:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Her art was very dark.

[01:15:23] [SPEAKER_02]: They're cute.

[01:15:24] [SPEAKER_02]: They're cuddly.

[01:15:25] [SPEAKER_02]: And they're coming to America.

[01:15:27] [SPEAKER_02]: China's newest panda diplomats are headed for Washington.

[01:15:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Yay!

[01:15:31] [SPEAKER_02]: They're on their way, Washington, D.C.

[01:15:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Fantastic.

[01:15:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Coming to the Washington National Zoo.

[01:15:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Bao Li and King Bao, both three years old, left the giant panda research base in such and such, a city near the bear's native habitat in the mountains of southwest China on Monday night local time.

[01:15:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Cool.

[01:15:51] [SPEAKER_02]: They will board a specifically chartered FedEx Boeing 777 cargo jet dubbed the Panda Express.

[01:15:58] [SPEAKER_02]: It will take off for Washington in a few hours.

[01:16:00] [SPEAKER_02]: We have prepared corn buns, bamboo shoots, carrots, water, and medicine to ensure the pandas are met with the right, their needs are met during the flight.

[01:16:10] [SPEAKER_02]: What about television?

[01:16:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Do they have live TV?

[01:16:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Do you have movies for them to watch?

[01:16:15] [SPEAKER_02]: What are they supposed to do this whole time?

[01:16:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Animal planet.

[01:16:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[01:16:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, the, and then we get, we know if you listen to podcasts, they took them back and then they're giving them back, but they're on their way.

[01:16:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Nice.

[01:16:25] [SPEAKER_02]: That's a wonderful story.

[01:16:27] [SPEAKER_02]: That's great.

[01:16:27] [SPEAKER_02]: I think we still have the two.

[01:16:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, uh, uh, the male, Ba Li, appeared very calm and composed as he slowly paced around his crate.

[01:16:36] [SPEAKER_02]: King Bao, the, the petite female was more restless.

[01:16:41] [SPEAKER_02]: She stood up and stuck out her snout and paws through the bars, uh, of her crate as she was forklifted into the truck.

[01:16:47] [SPEAKER_02]: So they're on their way.

[01:16:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Forklifted.

[01:16:48] [SPEAKER_02]: A sendoff ceremony was held earlier on Monday at a hotel near the base, joined by a delegation from the Washington Zoo and some representatives of the Chinese providence, uh, Sichuan to help.

[01:16:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Sichuan.

[01:17:00] [SPEAKER_02]: No, it's something different, uh, to help with the transition.

[01:17:03] Great.

[01:17:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, oh, um, Bao Li has deep, uh, family roots in Washington.

[01:17:13] [SPEAKER_02]: His mother, Bao Bao, was born a celebrity at the National Zoo in 2013.

[01:17:19] [SPEAKER_02]: She later returned to China.

[01:17:21] [SPEAKER_02]: His grandparents, Mi Xing and Tin Tin, lived at the zoo for 23 years after their lease ended last year.

[01:17:30] [SPEAKER_02]: He reminds me a lot of his grandpa, Tin Tin, a panda zookeeper said.

[01:17:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Bao Li looks almost identical to him.

[01:17:37] [SPEAKER_02]: That's true.

[01:17:37] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's almost like having Tin Tin Jr.

[01:17:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Very comfortable ride.

[01:17:42] [SPEAKER_02]: They gotta go a long, long way.

[01:17:44] [SPEAKER_02]: They've spent the last two days getting to know the two pandas and working with them and seeing what they liked and what they didn't like.

[01:17:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:17:51] [SPEAKER_02]: They will not be on public display.

[01:17:52] [SPEAKER_02]: They will be placed in quarantine.

[01:17:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, and then they'll be let out.

[01:17:58] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know how long they're gonna have to stay.

[01:17:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Call ahead.

[01:18:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Call in advance while supplies last.

[01:18:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.

[01:18:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, Bao Bao, Bao Li loves bamboo shoots and can eat twice as much as King Bao, who counts on carrots and apples as her favorite food.

[01:18:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Nice.

[01:18:11] [SPEAKER_02]: It's gonna be very hard to say goodbye.

[01:18:12] [SPEAKER_02]: People were very, very sad.

[01:18:14] [SPEAKER_02]: When they were interviewed.

[01:18:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Mm-hmm.

[01:18:16] [SPEAKER_02]: They will have a comfortable ride though it's gonna be a very long ride.

[01:18:19] [SPEAKER_02]: And the Washington Zoo is totally prepared and very excited.

[01:18:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Nice.

[01:18:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:18:24] [SPEAKER_02]: So that's our good, that's our feel good story.

[01:18:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Wait, wait, wait, wait a question.

[01:18:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[01:18:27] [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of termites wanna know how your mom's doing.

[01:18:29] [SPEAKER_02]: How my mom is doing?

[01:18:30] [SPEAKER_02]: She's doing very good.

[01:18:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Good.

[01:18:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Very good, um, on all fronts and, um, yeah.

[01:18:38] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, she's doing her thing.

[01:18:40] Okay.

[01:18:40] [SPEAKER_02]: I gotta get her gambling.

[01:18:42] [SPEAKER_02]: That's what I gotta do.

[01:18:43] Gambling?

[01:18:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I wanna take her to, uh, there's a casino in Booneville, Missouri, named after who?

[01:18:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Daniel Boone.

[01:18:51] Nice.

[01:18:52] [SPEAKER_02]: The whole city named after Daniel Boone.

[01:18:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there's a casino there.

[01:18:56] [SPEAKER_02]: She likes to go to that one.

[01:18:57] Cool.

[01:18:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause it's not so far from her house.

[01:18:59] [SPEAKER_02]: So, uh, that's gonna be the Thanksgiving outing at some point.

[01:19:04] [SPEAKER_03]: I like it.

[01:19:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, we're going.

[01:19:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Cool.

[01:19:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, she keeps finding money my dad put in envelopes, just stash, cash, they're cash stashes.

[01:19:12] [SPEAKER_02]: It's, he called it his cash stash.

[01:19:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Just everywhere?

[01:19:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah.

[01:19:14] [SPEAKER_02]: They're in books.

[01:19:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh.

[01:19:16] [SPEAKER_02]: She found two grand somewhere.

[01:19:18] [SPEAKER_02]: What?

[01:19:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:19:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh my God.

[01:19:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, might've been in his underwear drawer.

[01:19:21] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[01:19:21] [SPEAKER_02]: That's significant money.

[01:19:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:19:24] [SPEAKER_02]: It's tempting when I'm there, I think.

[01:19:26] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna have to go look through some shit in here and find those.

[01:19:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I wouldn't take it, but yeah.

[01:19:31] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, every book you gotta go.

[01:19:33] [SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, if you find a white envelope, you're in luck so far.

[01:19:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Nothing bad's been in there.

[01:19:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Nothing but cash.

[01:19:39] [SPEAKER_02]: The best Easter ever.

[01:19:40] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what he thought was gonna happen, why they would need, I think it was gambling

[01:19:44] [SPEAKER_02]: money.

[01:19:45] He hid it from himself.

[01:19:46] [SPEAKER_02]: He, well, he hid it from himself, but maybe her too, because he gambles more than her.

[01:19:50] [SPEAKER_02]: And then he says, Oh, I've only lost 300, but really it was eight.

[01:19:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:19:54] [SPEAKER_02]: A little rambling now.

[01:19:55] [SPEAKER_02]: A little rambling now.

[01:19:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Because she actually tells the truth and sticks to her number.

[01:19:59] [SPEAKER_02]: So if she says, I'm taking $150 at the casino, when she's done, she's like, let's leave.

[01:20:03] [SPEAKER_02]: But the rest of us are like, go to the ATM freak.

[01:20:06] [SPEAKER_02]: We're not leaving.

[01:20:07] [SPEAKER_02]: We just got here a half hour ago.

[01:20:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I've spent all my money.

[01:20:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, be lenient with yourself.

[01:20:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Go get some more money.

[01:20:13] [SPEAKER_02]: And then, but if I give her a hundred, she'll take it, but she won't go get it.

[01:20:16] [SPEAKER_02]: But then I found out sometimes she's been hiding that to go to TJ Maxx.

[01:20:20] [SPEAKER_02]: She goes into the buffet and hangs around and talks to people.

[01:20:24] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, so the gambling money I gave you in the casino to go gamble, you secretly shoved in your bra or your purse and are saving it for TJ Maxx.

[01:20:32] [SPEAKER_02]: I will also take you to TJ Maxx, mom.

[01:20:35] [SPEAKER_02]: You don't have to have these secret things.

[01:20:37] [SPEAKER_02]: These are money games she plays with herself.

[01:20:39] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[01:20:40] [SPEAKER_02]: She always acts like there may not be any more income.

[01:20:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Meanwhile, there's seven kids.

[01:20:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Everybody makes a fine living.

[01:20:45] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a, it's a game.

[01:20:47] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[01:20:47] [SPEAKER_02]: It's self flagging.

[01:20:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't get it.

[01:20:50] [SPEAKER_00]: It's the opposite of you.

[01:20:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:20:52] [SPEAKER_02]: It's the complete opposite of me or my dad.

[01:20:54] [SPEAKER_02]: My dad would have been throwing an ATM over trying to get another 200.

[01:20:57] [SPEAKER_02]: I just got to get going here.

[01:21:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Troy, New York.

[01:21:02] [SPEAKER_02]: These are my thank yous.

[01:21:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh my God.

[01:21:04] [SPEAKER_02]: This lady made a flower design and baby cat was part of the design.

[01:21:09] Oh, wow.

[01:21:10] [SPEAKER_02]: It was the craziest thing I've ever seen.

[01:21:12] [SPEAKER_02]: She made baby cat out of flowers.

[01:21:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:21:13] [SPEAKER_02]: She made baby cat out of flowers.

[01:21:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Cool.
