Episode 200: The World’s Largest Pickleball Park, Taylor Swift’s Super Bowl Record & Cracker Barrel Sweatshirts Go Viral

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

[00:00:29] Who's gonna be on Jimmy Kimmel live tonight? Yeah, I know, the night before the election. This is technically Monday, I'll say that. Well, you guys will hear it on now. But Stevie would like to wish the Madigan's Pubcast a happy 200th birthday! Yay, we did it! We made it this far. It's been four years.

[00:00:48] So look, I went to Kroger, bought a tiny cake. The Kroger, there's two Kroger's behind me. One Kroger is more for old people. And that's where you get shit like this. And the other one's a big one. And because he's a king, Snoop Dogg has his own sort of champagne. I also went to Party City. Let me tell you what happens at 10 o'clock in Party City. See those balloons? Yep. And the guy's like, oh, is there a kid's party?

[00:01:18] I'm like, what? Kind of. It's really just for me. Truth be told, I just like a good Norwalk balloon. And they're hard to find. And there it is. There's the Norwalk balloon.

[00:01:27] It's a unicorn ball. Yep. This could be dangerous. Thankfully, I have glasses on. I'm gonna open. This is called 19 Crimes. And it's a California sparkling wine.

[00:01:40] It's a snoop in North Martha's. Yeah. Oh, is Martha in on this? I think so. Holy shit. Yeah. Okay. Hold on. Hey, patience here. Turn my lights. I'm trying to get it.

[00:01:49] It's open, but there we go. It's just not coming off. No, that's just that. Now I'm gonna aim this at you, paddles.

[00:01:56] Oh, wonderful.

[00:01:57] Here it goes. Oh, I don't want to break a light. Oh, shit.

[00:02:01] Oh, no.

[00:02:02] Here we go.

[00:02:09] When I waited tables, I was the worst at this. It could fucking go anywhere.

[00:02:13] And I acted like I knew what I was doing, but I didn't know what I was doing.

[00:02:16] Nice.

[00:02:17] But it was fun. And then I got a champagne glass out of the cabinet, which I don't usually, I mean, I have mimosas, but I put them in a regular book.

[00:02:26] This says Tiffany and Company made in Slovenia. I'm like, why is there a sticker? Where did I get this?

[00:02:30] And then I remembered, oh, Delta sent it when I became a million miler.

[00:02:35] Oh, my God.

[00:02:36] Yeah, they sent a bottle of champagne, Vauve Cacot, the good stuff.

[00:02:39] Nice.

[00:02:40] Yeah, and this glass and this sticker apparently has been on here for quite some time.

[00:02:45] I think you're a two million mother now.

[00:02:46] I think I'm a two million mile. Not that I don't love the gift, Delta. I just don't usually use these glasses because they're fancy and it's kind of stupid.

[00:02:54] If you're by yourself sitting here, I'm like, Dorf's not going to put his Bud Light lime in one.

[00:02:59] Okay, here we go.

[00:03:00] Pinky will do it.

[00:03:01] Pinky Tito will do it.

[00:03:03] Yeah.

[00:03:03] Yeah.

[00:03:03] Nicole definitely will do it.

[00:03:05] Nicole for sure. Nicole is very Southern like that. She likes to fancy. It's nice.

[00:03:11] So let's see if I can. Sorry, I keep gagging.

[00:03:15] Should I? I'm going to blow out the candles.

[00:03:17] Do we need to sing something?

[00:03:19] Happy birthday to Matt against Bob.

[00:03:20] Yes, happy birthday. And then at the end, are you one? Are you two? The nieces and nephews do that.

[00:03:25] Happy birthday to you.

[00:03:25] Yeah, and when I turn like, I don't know, 51, I'm like, Jack, please don't go that high.

[00:03:30] Are you 48? Are you 48? Jack? Stop.

[00:03:33] Still going.

[00:03:33] Yeah, but I do like to do it to my parents. Are you 879? Are you 80? Are you 81? Are you 82? It must be from a movie or something. I don't know where the kids all got that.

[00:03:43] No, no.

[00:03:43] You got to go by the deck.

[00:03:44] I'll have to ask the children.

[00:03:45] Yeah.

[00:03:46] And the little children, I mean. Okay. We're going to blow it out. Ready?

[00:03:49] Do it.

[00:03:50] Yay!

[00:03:51] Yay! Here's to 200 more. Free for the tar mites, free for everybody. I'm not going to charge people. I know people say that, but free is part of the fun, right?

[00:04:00] Yep.

[00:04:00] The only way I would do it is if I retired from the road and then I'd go, okay, if you guys all chip in five bucks, then I have fish and, you know, beer money.

[00:04:10] Candles are expensive.

[00:04:11] Yeah, this shit isn't cheap. These cardboard people are like $79.

[00:04:17] You got a new one coming.

[00:04:19] A new one? I haven't approved a king or queen. Is this Bob Reed's choice?

[00:04:24] Bob and I got together.

[00:04:25] One of the children?

[00:04:26] Yep.

[00:04:27] Oh, I just added a child. Chapel's one of the children.

[00:04:31] He's tearing it up. It's Post.

[00:04:33] What?

[00:04:34] It's Post.

[00:04:34] Oh, it's Post Malone?

[00:04:35] Yeah.

[00:04:35] Okay. He's kind of one of the children, but not really.

[00:04:38] No.

[00:04:39] So let's taste it.

[00:04:40] He's a senior child.

[00:04:41] I've been watching the Martha Stewart thing, so Snoop and Martha, are they in on this together?

[00:04:46] No, this is just his liquor company.

[00:04:48] No.

[00:04:49] I'll look it up.

[00:04:50] Listen.

[00:04:51] Can you hear that term?

[00:04:52] It's like Pop Rocks.

[00:04:53] Jesus.

[00:04:53] What has he created?

[00:04:55] Normal champagne shouldn't be making that good.

[00:04:57] Holy shit.

[00:04:59] It's cocaine.

[00:05:00] Wow.

[00:05:01] Is this like a P-Ditty drink?

[00:05:02] Is this how I end up at a freak party?

[00:05:04] Is this how it starts?

[00:05:07] Hey, baby, have a glass of my champagne sparkling wine.

[00:05:16] It's too sweet for me.

[00:05:17] Okay.

[00:05:18] Yeah.

[00:05:19] But if you like sweet, Snoop's got it.

[00:05:24] Well, my backup plan is this beer from Jackalope Brewing in honor of my dad in Nashville, and

[00:05:30] it's for the Preds games.

[00:05:31] Nice.

[00:05:32] So it's a Pilsner.

[00:05:35] It's delicious.

[00:05:35] Everything at the Jackalope Brewing Company is delicious.

[00:05:38] I swear.

[00:05:38] If you ever come to Nashville, you should go over there and have fun.

[00:05:40] It's a fun place to hang out to.

[00:05:43] All right.

[00:05:45] So, and I went to the Preds game, and some kid, there were these three boys in front of

[00:05:49] me, and they're from New England because they came in to Nashville to see the New England

[00:05:54] Titans game, which ended up being a good game, but they got tickets to the Preds.

[00:05:57] They couldn't believe how cheap it was compared to, say, they want to go see, yeah, the Boston

[00:06:02] Brewers or something.

[00:06:03] And they were just adorable.

[00:06:05] And then, I don't know, his mom wrote on my stuff.

[00:06:11] Holy shit, I think you're sitting behind my sons.

[00:06:14] You took the picture of her mom.

[00:06:15] Oh, yeah, I took their picture.

[00:06:16] Yeah.

[00:06:17] And then, I don't know how she saw me, and she said to her son, you're hanging out with

[00:06:24] the person I have a ticket to see in Boston, and he didn't know.

[00:06:27] He was like 21.

[00:06:28] He doesn't know who I am, and I don't know who you are either, but they were so sweet.

[00:06:33] And they were very handsome.

[00:06:34] I thought they were twins.

[00:06:35] They were good-looking kids.

[00:06:36] And so, I made a video for her, and I said, yes, I was sitting behind your son, his cousin,

[00:06:44] and a third one.

[00:06:45] Just when they're out of town, they're on very good behavior, very mannerly, polite,

[00:06:50] and he was supposed to buy me a beer, and he texted.

[00:06:52] He was very sorry.

[00:06:52] He did not do that because he didn't catch all this in time.

[00:06:55] I'm like, that's because, old ladies, we are just faster than you dimwits sitting there

[00:06:58] not paying attention to what you're doing.

[00:07:02] And I'm happy they got to see a good game.

[00:07:05] But unfortunately, I picked the Titans in the pick-em pool, and I won!

[00:07:09] Because Mason Rudolph's actually okay.

[00:07:12] Is he a franchise quarterback?

[00:07:14] No.

[00:07:14] Is he better than Will Levis?

[00:07:16] Yes.

[00:07:16] Yes.

[00:07:17] Yes.

[00:07:18] Yes.

[00:07:19] So, anyway, that was cute.

[00:07:20] It made me laugh that somebody...

[00:07:23] I'm like, hi, it's me.

[00:07:25] Yes.

[00:07:26] Yes, you nailed it.

[00:07:27] I was sitting right behind them.

[00:07:28] Have fun.

[00:07:29] They were adorable.

[00:07:30] Here's what we're going to eat, then we're going to be moving on.

[00:07:32] We're going to try Cheetos from Bob and Clark's Korean place.

[00:07:36] These are steak.

[00:07:38] And look, it's all Korean writing.

[00:07:39] Uh-huh.

[00:07:41] I can smell it.

[00:07:42] I know.

[00:07:42] They're steak Cheetos.

[00:07:44] Now, here's the weird thing.

[00:07:45] They are a very unusual color.

[00:07:48] They're yellow-brown instead of orange.

[00:07:55] Super no.

[00:07:56] Oh, my God.

[00:07:58] I'm still with you on that one Lay's bag, Clark.

[00:08:01] You got to get the back there for that Italian salami one or Italian meat one.

[00:08:04] Italian beef.

[00:08:05] Oh, my God.

[00:08:06] It was terrible.

[00:08:08] God.

[00:08:09] I don't know what that was.

[00:08:10] These are Heartville potato chips.

[00:08:14] Heartville.

[00:08:14] Heartville.

[00:08:15] Yes.

[00:08:16] And they were, they're from Kimmore, Ohio, sent by Cleveland termites Jan and David.

[00:08:21] Wasn't there an old band called Jan and Dave?

[00:08:24] Not in Canada.

[00:08:27] Not in Canada.

[00:08:28] What did you guys get?

[00:08:30] Dave and Jan?

[00:08:32] Jan Arden.

[00:08:33] Jan Arden.

[00:08:33] There's your Jan.

[00:08:34] The best Jan.

[00:08:35] Who's your David?

[00:08:36] You don't got a David.

[00:08:37] No.

[00:08:39] Pretty good.

[00:08:40] Yeah.

[00:08:41] Yeah.

[00:08:41] Okay.

[00:08:42] If I had a bunch more beers, they'd be better.

[00:08:45] But they're good.

[00:08:46] You know, if you got home and these were there, you'd be happy.

[00:08:49] Put it that way.

[00:08:50] Yeah.

[00:08:50] And then these, I can't believe they have messy on the bag.

[00:08:54] Lay's.

[00:08:55] Come on.

[00:08:55] Hord yourselves out.

[00:08:56] I like it.

[00:08:57] You put messy on here.

[00:08:58] Limited edition crispy taco.

[00:09:00] That's your case, sir.

[00:09:01] Let's see if they've ruined my page up or not.

[00:09:07] Wow.

[00:09:07] Good.

[00:09:08] They're great.

[00:09:09] Nice.

[00:09:09] And you know, I don't say that about Lay's.

[00:09:12] No.

[00:09:12] No.

[00:09:13] No.

[00:09:13] I like regular Lay's.

[00:09:14] Yeah.

[00:09:15] Wow.

[00:09:16] Don't flavor them.

[00:09:17] They're really good.

[00:09:18] Holy shit.

[00:09:19] All right.

[00:09:21] Well, I won't eat on air the whole time and bother your sensory system.

[00:09:25] That's nice.

[00:09:26] Yeah.

[00:09:26] Yeah.

[00:09:27] They're great.

[00:09:28] Winner, winner.

[00:09:29] Cool.

[00:09:29] Are those only available in the United States?

[00:09:33] I don't know.

[00:09:34] There was some from San Antonio Termite Marguerite.

[00:09:36] I love that name Marguerite.

[00:09:38] I had a great aunt, Marguerite.

[00:09:39] Pretty.

[00:09:40] Very pretty.

[00:09:42] She sent them.

[00:09:44] San Antonio always comes through with the termites.

[00:09:46] She wants to.

[00:09:47] They have cool stuff.

[00:09:48] She wants to be your Spanish termite.

[00:09:49] She wants to be my Spanish termite?

[00:09:51] Yeah.

[00:09:51] Sure.

[00:09:51] I need as many as I can get.

[00:09:53] Great.

[00:09:53] I need to learn Spanish.

[00:09:54] I'm trying.

[00:09:54] On TikTok, they have a thing where you can learn 10 words a day.

[00:09:57] Great.

[00:09:58] Yeah.

[00:09:59] As it turns out, I only retain maybe two.

[00:10:01] Yeah.

[00:10:01] That's what happens at this age.

[00:10:03] But it's two more than I had the day before.

[00:10:05] Right?

[00:10:05] We should do one a week on the pub guest.

[00:10:06] Well, prima nueve.

[00:10:07] That means press nine.

[00:10:09] I only know that from being on hold at Walgreens.

[00:10:12] I looked it up.

[00:10:14] Oh, prima nueve.

[00:10:17] So if I got stuck, captured by the cartel,

[00:10:20] I just have to keep going.

[00:10:22] Oh, prima?

[00:10:23] No, we have it.

[00:10:23] No, we have it.

[00:10:23] Press nine.

[00:10:24] Okay.

[00:10:25] Shows, where are we going?

[00:10:26] Before we get into what we know.

[00:10:28] November 9th, that'll be this Saturday at the Ryman,

[00:10:31] the historical fantastico Ryman.

[00:10:35] There's a few tickets left.

[00:10:36] There's a few tickets left.

[00:10:37] Yeah.

[00:10:39] That place is just great.

[00:10:40] And I'm sure they'll also all this great.

[00:10:42] November 15th, 16th.

[00:10:43] Boston?

[00:10:44] Nice.

[00:10:44] The Wilbach.

[00:10:45] The Wilbeth.

[00:10:46] The Wilbeth.

[00:10:46] I love that venue.

[00:10:48] El Cajon, November 22nd, 23rd.

[00:10:50] Riverside.

[00:10:51] I'm not following all the way out there for bullshit.

[00:10:53] Nope.

[00:10:54] Riverside.

[00:10:55] Let's get it going.

[00:10:56] El Cajon, I think it's sold out.

[00:10:57] December 6th, Shippensburg, PA.

[00:11:01] 7th, Ben Salem.

[00:11:03] That's Parks Casino.

[00:11:05] January 19th, Omaha.

[00:11:07] Yeah.

[00:11:08] Already sold the shitload of tickets.

[00:11:10] Very good.

[00:11:11] December, or January 18th, Cedar Falls, Iowa.

[00:11:14] It has been a long time.

[00:11:16] Is it Cedar?

[00:11:18] No.

[00:11:19] I was.

[00:11:19] One of them, I know, I think it's Sierra Rapids, has a comedy club called Penguins.

[00:11:24] What?

[00:11:25] Yeah, I love the name.

[00:11:26] Okay.

[00:11:26] Yeah, it's better than, you know, a lot of other bonkers.

[00:11:30] It was cute, and they had a cute t-shirt, and it used to be my road sleep shirt for years,

[00:11:34] and then I fucking lost it on the road.

[00:11:36] January 23rd, Airway Heights, Washington.

[00:11:38] Casino gig.

[00:11:39] Spokane.

[00:11:40] Spokane.

[00:11:40] That's great.

[00:11:41] Yeah.

[00:11:41] January 25th, Scottsdale, Arizona.

[00:11:44] Arizona.

[00:11:45] How lucky is this girl?

[00:11:46] Nice.

[00:11:46] Get to get out of the cold, and then 2025 shows, the rest of them on the website.

[00:11:51] There's a million.

[00:11:54] So, this weekend.

[00:11:55] You've been adding shows.

[00:11:56] I've been adding shows.

[00:11:58] Huntington, we added another show.

[00:12:02] Mystic Lake.

[00:12:02] Minnesota, we added another show.

[00:12:04] Yeah.

[00:12:06] I know they keep saying all that, but I don't, I'm not like the workhorse that some other

[00:12:10] comedians can be.

[00:12:11] Durham, you did.

[00:12:12] Durham, added a second show.

[00:12:15] But, these are fun places, so I'm like, yeah.

[00:12:17] Great.

[00:12:18] Yeah, I'll do it.

[00:12:19] Cool.

[00:12:19] I might regret it the day I said it.

[00:12:21] Well, I'm like, what time do I have to get in the shower?

[00:12:23] God damn it.

[00:12:25] You want to do a three o'clock show?

[00:12:28] There are people out there doing three, four, five.

[00:12:31] No.

[00:12:32] We don't get ready for comedy in the light.

[00:12:34] No.

[00:12:34] No.

[00:12:35] It's a nighttime activity.

[00:12:36] Luckily, we fell back, so.

[00:12:38] Yeah, so you could get ready at five.

[00:12:40] I don't like to fall back either.

[00:12:41] It's too sudden.

[00:12:42] I don't think we should have to do it.

[00:12:43] But, anyway, moving on.

[00:12:45] This week, I went to do a show called Today in Nashville with Carol, the host.

[00:12:49] It's so fun.

[00:12:50] But every Tuesday, they give away a pet.

[00:12:53] They try to get one adopted.

[00:12:54] They don't just give it away.

[00:12:55] Whatever.

[00:12:55] Whatever.

[00:12:56] This dog backstage was Boo Berry.

[00:12:58] And it was a big, like, shepherd mix, but like a stuffed animal, but like giant Pyrenees feet and paws.

[00:13:06] And I thought, well, if I could, I would.

[00:13:07] I would take Boo Berry in a hot minute.

[00:13:10] He got adopted that day on the show.

[00:13:12] No way.

[00:13:12] It's so great.

[00:13:13] Yeah.

[00:13:14] I'm like, so great.

[00:13:16] So that was fun to do.

[00:13:17] And then got to see Cyndi Lauper Friday night at the Bridgestone.

[00:13:22] It was so great.

[00:13:23] And then this big, thuggy guy came and said to everybody, I was on the aisle.

[00:13:30] I always try to get an aisle seat because I'm short, and then I could just bop out of that aisle if I need to see.

[00:13:34] Because otherwise I can't see.

[00:13:37] Well, he's like, everybody in the aisle.

[00:13:39] And everybody was.

[00:13:39] It was nobody's stage rushing.

[00:13:41] It's Indie Lauper.

[00:13:42] But he wanted it clearer than it was.

[00:13:44] And then I was like, oh, maybe she's coming down the aisle.

[00:13:48] Sure enough.

[00:13:49] Yeah.

[00:13:49] And she high-fived me.

[00:13:50] I almost shit my pants.

[00:13:51] I saw your video.

[00:13:52] I was like, I can't believe that just happened.

[00:13:54] Like, this is somebody I watched every video on TV.

[00:13:57] It's just amazing.

[00:13:58] It's 71 years old.

[00:13:59] I mean, she did two hours.

[00:14:00] And it was all great.

[00:14:02] Lost my drink, go get a drink time, was the Kinky Boots thing because I never saw it.

[00:14:06] So I don't know.

[00:14:07] Well, I don't know.

[00:14:08] Whatever.

[00:14:08] I'm not really a musical person.

[00:14:10] I mean, like musicals.

[00:14:12] But what a great concert.

[00:14:13] If she's coming, she's only got a few shows left before she goes to Europe.

[00:14:17] Minnesota, I know she's going there because I thought maybe I could go to that.

[00:14:19] It's a Wednesday night.

[00:14:20] I would love to see it one more time.

[00:14:22] It was that good.

[00:14:23] It looks awesome.

[00:14:24] And Elle King was the opener.

[00:14:25] So we lucked out in Nashville because she's using a lot of openers.

[00:14:29] And Elle King's already got major hits.

[00:14:31] Like, one of my favorites is because I'm drunk and I don't want to go home.

[00:14:40] And football, reviewing the week.

[00:14:43] Just, I'm in the pick-em pool again.

[00:14:45] Yep.

[00:14:46] In the top three.

[00:14:47] You've got to explain that to people.

[00:14:48] What's the pick-em pool?

[00:14:49] Okay.

[00:14:49] I'm going to start doing, it's going to be called Aunt Kat's Tiny Ted Talks.

[00:14:53] It's wonderful.

[00:14:54] It's part of my enabler series.

[00:14:56] It's going to teach you things that people don't usually teach because they think it's bad.

[00:15:01] But gambling is not bad.

[00:15:02] It's not bad.

[00:15:04] A pick-em pool means you just pick the winners and you don't have to have, you don't have to say,

[00:15:11] well, Kansas City is going to win by 10 points.

[00:15:13] There's no point spread involved.

[00:15:15] It's just flat out pick a winner.

[00:15:17] In the family one, there are 37 people.

[00:15:22] Family and friends.

[00:15:22] Lewis is in that one too.

[00:15:24] But that's just a flat out pick-em.

[00:15:26] And then on Monday night, you have to pick the total score of the points if there's a tiebreaker

[00:15:29] and we are entering that zone.

[00:15:31] There are three of us.

[00:15:33] And I can't see what the other people have.

[00:15:35] The commissioner has to turn that on and the commissioner has not done that.

[00:15:38] But I did what the thing you can click on matchup analysis and they said it's going

[00:15:43] to be low scoring.

[00:15:44] And I have a million reasons why I agree with that.

[00:15:46] We shall see.

[00:15:47] Chiefs game.

[00:15:48] It's Chiefs against Tampa Bay, but Mike Evans is sick, got hurt on Tampa Bay.

[00:15:52] So now a little Baker Baker, bake me a cake Mayfield doesn't have anybody to throw the ball to that's as good as Mike.

[00:15:58] Mike was great.

[00:15:59] And Mike is now gone.

[00:16:01] And meanwhile, Travis just keeps getting more weapons.

[00:16:05] And Patrick does.

[00:16:09] Travis did good.

[00:16:11] George Kibbles and Bits.

[00:16:14] Tommy.

[00:16:15] Tommy keeps saying shit.

[00:16:17] He's getting better.

[00:16:19] He's getting better.

[00:16:20] I know, but like he used the word spaz and he got in trouble.

[00:16:23] He doesn't know that much.

[00:16:25] But this is a good chance to educate people and go, look, that's why that's not what we're probably using anymore.

[00:16:31] Yeah.

[00:16:32] Grandpa.

[00:16:34] I would never go on TV and go, that guy's a spaz.

[00:16:37] I mean, spastic?

[00:16:38] Really?

[00:16:39] What do we?

[00:16:39] Come on.

[00:16:41] But whatever.

[00:16:42] I still like him.

[00:16:44] I don't think he can own the Raiders, own part of the Raiders and be an announcer with all these rules they're putting on him.

[00:16:49] But I guess we will wait and see.

[00:16:53] Queen News.

[00:16:55] Chapel on SNL.

[00:16:56] Just slaughtered it.

[00:16:59] Just so fantastic.

[00:17:00] It makes me so proud.

[00:17:01] Some kid in Southern Missouri busted out and boom, busted out like a squirrel out of a soup can.

[00:17:07] It is just a shit show coming at you.

[00:17:09] A fantastic.

[00:17:10] Love it.

[00:17:11] It was so good.

[00:17:13] But and Tay Tay, a special announcement in Indianapolis, she sold more tickets than the Super Bowl did.

[00:17:22] And I'm sure there's so many older musicians out there going, what?

[00:17:28] God damn.

[00:17:29] Are you serious?

[00:17:31] Yeah.

[00:17:32] Who do I got?

[00:17:33] Stevie.

[00:17:34] Stevie.

[00:17:34] Oh, Stevie's going to be on Jimmy Camel.

[00:17:36] Stevie is out there.

[00:17:37] She was on Morning Joe.

[00:17:38] I can't remember how to talk about that.

[00:17:40] No.

[00:17:40] Oh, I don't usually watch Morning Joe.

[00:17:44] I quit watching all that stuff after politics got to be too much.

[00:17:48] And I said, no, I put a ban on it in my own on my own self.

[00:17:51] I'm allowed to watch sports, Sports Center or music.

[00:17:56] But I'm not watching.

[00:17:57] I can't take it anymore.

[00:17:58] All of them.

[00:17:59] CNN, Fox, whatever.

[00:18:00] I do like BBC News.

[00:18:01] I find that to be a very neutral ground.

[00:18:04] And usually they don't talk about our shit that much.

[00:18:06] I watch CBS.

[00:18:06] And you learn things.

[00:18:08] Mm-hmm.

[00:18:08] CBC.

[00:18:08] Yep.

[00:18:09] Little Canada-centric, but not for you.

[00:18:12] No.

[00:18:12] It's good for you.

[00:18:13] No.

[00:18:13] It's good.

[00:18:13] No.

[00:18:13] I used to read Huffington Post Canada, but then they canceled it.

[00:18:17] See?

[00:18:18] I know.

[00:18:18] And that's on you, Paddles.

[00:18:19] That's your fault.

[00:18:20] Well, we all got...

[00:18:20] You didn't click on it enough.

[00:18:21] We all got phones.

[00:18:23] Well, Huffington Post is on your phone.

[00:18:25] I know what shows the feed.

[00:18:26] Mm-hmm.

[00:18:27] Yeah.

[00:18:27] I don't need to go to the website.

[00:18:30] Well, that's where you're going to go get it, on the website.

[00:18:32] No, girl.

[00:18:34] They clicked it up.

[00:18:35] Well, it's gone off my things.

[00:18:37] Mm-hmm.

[00:18:39] But anyway, Stevie was going to be on Morning Joe, and I heard that, so I did tape it.

[00:18:44] Mm-hmm.

[00:18:45] And she goes, I didn't vote until I was 70, and I regret that, and I don't have many regrets

[00:18:51] in my life, so I'm just telling young people, I'm like, 70?

[00:18:55] Like, you missed all those years.

[00:18:57] Now, you have admittedly said, I don't know, I was on drugs for a lot of the...

[00:19:00] Okay, okay, that's fine.

[00:19:01] That's fine.

[00:19:02] I get it.

[00:19:02] And I'm sure at the Betty Ford Center, you can only vote for Gerald Ford.

[00:19:05] Whop!

[00:19:06] Thank you.

[00:19:07] I'll be here all week.

[00:19:10] But at least she's doing it now, and she's speaking her mind, whether you agree or disagree

[00:19:14] with her.

[00:19:14] Everybody's allowed to speak their mind.

[00:19:16] Hulk Hogan's out speaking his mind.

[00:19:17] He really wants Trump.

[00:19:19] You know, everybody's got a thing.

[00:19:21] But for Stevie, that's very early.

[00:19:23] I don't think I'd be getting up for Morning Joe unless I absolutely had to.

[00:19:26] I think she's still awake.

[00:19:27] She might still be, the vampire might still be awake.

[00:19:30] Maybe I'll try that.

[00:19:31] I don't know.

[00:19:32] I don't even do good on red eyes.

[00:19:33] I am not coming over here at 2 a.m.

[00:19:35] Yeah.

[00:19:36] No, New York.

[00:19:37] You got to go to New York to be on Morning Joe.

[00:19:39] Morning Joe Joe.

[00:19:41] I only watch it because of Claire McCaskill, because she's from Missouri and my neighbor

[00:19:45] in the Ozarks.

[00:19:46] She's fantastic.

[00:19:47] I love Claire.

[00:19:48] Yeah.

[00:19:49] Whatever it's about.

[00:19:50] She knows her shit.

[00:19:51] Anyway, so Stevie's doing that.

[00:19:54] She's going to be on Jimmy Kimmel, which tapes in California.

[00:19:56] So she's already flown back to California, which is great.

[00:20:00] And I think that's all my king and queen news.

[00:20:02] That's what I'm saying.

[00:20:02] Snoop.

[00:20:03] Oh, Snoop.

[00:20:04] Well, you know, I've been watching the Martha thing I was going to talk about.

[00:20:08] I'm three-fourths of the way through.

[00:20:10] And I actually love it.

[00:20:11] And I kind of feel bad for her.

[00:20:13] Really?

[00:20:13] Yeah.

[00:20:14] I thought she came from money.

[00:20:16] I prejudged and thought she was just a rich person who had nothing else to do but bebop

[00:20:20] around and figure out how to put berries in a bowl or a heaven-old joke of my act.

[00:20:24] It's true.

[00:20:25] For one episode, I watched her make a hammock for a cat.

[00:20:28] And I thought, at what level are you so...

[00:20:30] I thought you made that up.

[00:20:30] No.

[00:20:31] Are you out of shit to do that you look at your cat who's already immensely comfortable

[00:20:36] laying on something it's probably not supposed to be laying on?

[00:20:39] Oh, there's Chopos sprawled out on the porch swing getting hair everywhere.

[00:20:43] I go, he doesn't look comfortable enough.

[00:20:45] I think he'd like to be swinging in a slow motion.

[00:20:49] So anyway, it's a great show.

[00:20:52] She is something else.

[00:20:54] I had a friend that worked for her for years and said, you know what?

[00:20:57] She is what she is.

[00:20:58] But when you know what she is, it doesn't change.

[00:21:00] And that's what people like in show business would prefer.

[00:21:03] Be who you are, but be it consistently.

[00:21:06] So if you do your job correctly and efficiently, Martha's never going to be a bitch.

[00:21:11] Martha's never going to...

[00:21:11] But she hates incompetence.

[00:21:13] And she says it in the thing.

[00:21:15] Flat out.

[00:21:16] She's in it, right?

[00:21:18] She's in it a lot.

[00:21:19] Yeah.

[00:21:20] And then she's so reserved where they're like, do you want to talk about your feelings

[00:21:25] about...

[00:21:25] Because her husband screwed around on her a lot.

[00:21:27] She goes, no.

[00:21:28] No.

[00:21:29] I gave you the letters.

[00:21:30] Go ahead and read them.

[00:21:32] What?

[00:21:32] Yeah.

[00:21:33] But the letters are like...

[00:21:35] Make her sound kind of not so great.

[00:21:38] Well, a little desperate.

[00:21:39] Like, I love you.

[00:21:40] I'm so sorry.

[00:21:43] Yeah.

[00:21:43] You say you wouldn't do that?

[00:21:43] I wouldn't let people read those letters.

[00:21:45] No.

[00:21:46] No.

[00:21:47] No.

[00:21:47] No, no, no.

[00:21:48] I would just tell you what I thought and felt.

[00:21:50] But I like it because she's like, I'm not really interested in people's feelings.

[00:21:55] She goes, I want to know what you're doing.

[00:21:57] I don't go, oh, how do you feel?

[00:22:00] I want to know what did you...

[00:22:01] I do.

[00:22:02] And that's part of my dad that's still with me.

[00:22:03] Like, I'm a doer.

[00:22:04] Like, what'd you do?

[00:22:06] I only want to talk about your feelings if something's wrong.

[00:22:09] And then you want to talk to somebody, I will do it.

[00:22:11] I'm better than my dad, but I'm not really, like, good at it.

[00:22:15] She's 83.

[00:22:15] She's 83.

[00:22:16] She looks phenomenal.

[00:22:17] Wow.

[00:22:19] But she had to, like, earn a living.

[00:22:20] Her father was an asshole.

[00:22:22] There was all this stuff I didn't know.

[00:22:26] It's really great.

[00:22:27] It's on Netflix.

[00:22:28] Anyway.

[00:22:29] And put it in the schnotes.

[00:22:30] Yeah, put it in the schnotes.

[00:22:31] The other thing I watch...

[00:22:32] She's a Leo.

[00:22:33] She's a Leo?

[00:22:34] She's a fire sign.

[00:22:35] Oh, my brother Patrick's a Leo.

[00:22:38] They tend to think a lot of themselves.

[00:22:43] Moving on.

[00:22:44] No, I mean, but I think if you walked up to Patrick and went,

[00:22:48] are you pretty cool?

[00:22:50] Fucking awesome.

[00:22:51] Like, yeah.

[00:22:52] Like, I would never say stuff like that.

[00:22:54] But, like, he owns it.

[00:22:55] He doesn't care.

[00:22:56] And then the Zodiac Killer, I watched.

[00:23:03] I don't know what I'd give it.

[00:23:05] It depends on if you knew.

[00:23:07] Like, do you know the story for the children?

[00:23:09] They might not know.

[00:23:10] Sounds hard.

[00:23:10] No, it's about a serial killer.

[00:23:13] And this family thinks that it was their dad slash the guy their mom married.

[00:23:18] And they have a ton of proof.

[00:23:20] And I think they're right.

[00:23:23] But he's long since dead.

[00:23:25] And I don't know.

[00:23:27] It was fine.

[00:23:28] It's good to have on in the background.

[00:23:29] I would recommend it for on in the background while you're doing chores.

[00:23:33] Folding laundry.

[00:23:34] Whatever.

[00:23:35] Cooking dinner.

[00:23:36] Interesting enough.

[00:23:37] But the Martha thing is great.

[00:23:39] Okay.

[00:23:39] All right.

[00:23:40] Moving on.

[00:23:44] This made me laugh.

[00:23:45] This is a great thing.

[00:23:46] Or as Martha would say, it's a good thing.

[00:23:50] I have to Google how her and Snoop met.

[00:23:53] This is from a termite, Lisa, that sent it to the team email.

[00:23:56] This is because termites know shit.

[00:23:58] You guys know.

[00:23:59] You guys have info.

[00:24:00] So I said, are the showers at Love's nice?

[00:24:04] And then that trucker guy answered me.

[00:24:06] And then Lisa said, this is crazy.

[00:24:09] This is a great flippant idea.

[00:24:11] She said, in 2011, we had horrible tornadoes in Alabama.

[00:24:15] And the whole North Alabama area was without power.

[00:24:18] Our sons were three and six.

[00:24:20] A week with no power or hot water or TV, the boys were filthy.

[00:24:23] We heard that a Love's on 65 South, where the highway, I guess, had showers.

[00:24:29] So my husband and I packed up the boys to go get showers.

[00:24:31] We arrived to buy our showers.

[00:24:33] And a trucker had come in early to pay for showers for the next three days for anybody that needed one.

[00:24:38] That's very nice.

[00:24:41] Trust our number, the three-year-olds started cheering and tearing off all his clothes as he ran through the store to the shower.

[00:24:49] That would be so epic to see a little kid be that excited about a shower that he just strips down in the gas station and starts running.

[00:24:56] She said, the best part, I was the only girl of the four of us, so I had my own shower.

[00:25:00] And my husband had to manage those two kids and their showers.

[00:25:03] I'll always remember it as one of my best, most peaceful showers of my life.

[00:25:07] And it was free.

[00:25:11] Ask her son if he has the urge to run around and tear off all of his clothes.

[00:25:15] She said they are definitely nice showers.

[00:25:17] Nice.

[00:25:17] So there you go.

[00:25:18] I guess you don't have to be a trucker.

[00:25:20] I don't understand.

[00:25:21] But that's Queen Tay Tay News.

[00:25:25] That was it.

[00:25:26] I already had that.

[00:25:26] Indianapolis.

[00:25:27] She's still, somebody wrote on Twitter, is the era's tour still going?

[00:25:32] There's a new era.

[00:25:33] There's a new era.

[00:25:37] She's got to be exhausted.

[00:25:38] Is it almost over?

[00:25:40] No.

[00:25:40] No?

[00:25:41] It ends in December.

[00:25:43] It ends in December?

[00:25:44] In Vancouver.

[00:25:45] In Vancouver.

[00:25:46] I'm going to go.

[00:25:47] You're going to go?

[00:25:48] Mm-hmm.

[00:25:48] All right.

[00:25:53] Well, maybe Aubrey will want to go.

[00:25:55] I'll be with my people.

[00:25:56] Dory will go.

[00:25:57] There's all kinds of people that are still wanting to go.

[00:26:00] Dory will go with me.

[00:26:02] Moving on.

[00:26:03] Hold on.

[00:26:03] You're not offering to go?

[00:26:05] No.

[00:26:07] I'm good.

[00:26:07] I saw her.

[00:26:09] It was an experience.

[00:26:11] Me and Grandpa Bob, our knees hurt.

[00:26:14] Part of the way.

[00:26:15] I just kept going, what era are we in?

[00:26:17] Like, is she going to sing the song about the lady from St. Louis or not?

[00:26:21] I need to know.

[00:26:23] Rebecca wrote up.

[00:26:26] Update.

[00:26:28] This is from Bob.

[00:26:29] He caught it before I did.

[00:26:31] TGI Friday is officially filed for bankruptcy.

[00:26:34] Oh.

[00:26:34] Oh, let's hear it for our, let's hear it for my, the, oh.

[00:26:40] Sad times.

[00:26:41] For, for, for all those years in my 20s.

[00:26:44] Oh.

[00:26:45] Oh, okay.

[00:26:46] You get the point.

[00:26:47] Um, they filed for, uh, chapter 11 bankruptcy.

[00:26:50] They said in a statement, the primary driver of our financial challenges was, uh, COVID-19.

[00:26:55] Also, also, also, you forgot to how to make good potato skins.

[00:27:00] Yeah.

[00:27:00] That's on you guys.

[00:27:01] Yeah.

[00:27:02] And I'm an easy, easy trick for that.

[00:27:05] Yeah.

[00:27:06] As long as they're pretty good, I'm good.

[00:27:08] Yeah.

[00:27:08] They were, they've been terrible.

[00:27:10] Last two times I've been in a Friday's.

[00:27:11] Two times.

[00:27:12] Yeah.

[00:27:13] Wow.

[00:27:14] Well, sometimes that's all that's left on the road.

[00:27:16] Gotcha.

[00:27:16] Yeah.

[00:27:17] Yeah.

[00:27:17] And then I have high hopes.

[00:27:18] And I go in and it's sad.

[00:27:22] Longhorns can be good.

[00:27:23] Mm-hmm.

[00:27:24] Yeah.

[00:27:25] Nah.

[00:27:25] Their salad is good.

[00:27:26] Their chicken sandwich is good.

[00:27:28] Mm-hmm.

[00:27:28] My mom had a piece of meat that went back and forth like eight times.

[00:27:31] And I'm like, just stop it, mom.

[00:27:33] She was right.

[00:27:34] My mom was right.

[00:27:36] Eventually, it was just a shoe.

[00:27:37] Start over.

[00:27:37] I'm like, don't eat that.

[00:27:39] Do not eat that.

[00:27:40] Let's start over.

[00:27:41] It's getting chewy.

[00:27:41] Yeah.

[00:27:42] Nah.

[00:27:43] I like the bar at Longhorns.

[00:27:45] It's cute.

[00:27:45] I always like to look at that long.

[00:27:47] I can't decide if those are real Longhorns on the thing or fake.

[00:27:49] PETA would have them.

[00:27:51] Asses.

[00:27:51] They can't be.

[00:27:52] PETA would get them?

[00:27:53] Yeah.

[00:27:54] PETA's busy this week.

[00:27:55] I'll tell you what they're up to.

[00:27:59] They're going to use the Chapter 11 process to explore strategic alternatives in order

[00:28:03] to ensure long-term viability of the brand.

[00:28:06] The next steps announced today are difficult but necessary actions, blah, blah, blah.

[00:28:09] That's corporate words out.

[00:28:11] They're going to have to close a bunch.

[00:28:13] I don't know.

[00:28:14] You know what?

[00:28:15] You got to – I think you got to keep the branding, but you got to do some commercials

[00:28:20] about everything's new.

[00:28:21] Maybe redecorate or something on the inside.

[00:28:23] Yeah.

[00:28:23] Maybe cook your food right again.

[00:28:25] Go back to that.

[00:28:28] Oh, yeah.

[00:28:29] They had little Tiffany-style lamps and big red booths.

[00:28:32] It was a blast for a while.

[00:28:34] I mean, it's sad.

[00:28:37] Hopefully, they can rearrange.

[00:28:40] Maybe get that guy from P.F. Chang's.

[00:28:41] He's awesome.

[00:28:43] The what?

[00:28:44] The young guy.

[00:28:45] The young CEO that's changing shit around and making money again.

[00:28:48] I'm like, what?

[00:28:49] Update!

[00:28:51] West Tennessee, you're getting a Buc-ee's.

[00:28:53] No, yeah.

[00:28:53] You want to know where?

[00:28:54] That's right.

[00:28:55] This is make my drives to Memphis better.

[00:28:57] Okay.

[00:28:57] It's going to be on Interstate 40 and Tennessee 196.

[00:29:02] 74,000-square-foot location.

[00:29:04] We'll have 120 fueling stations and 71 restrooms for guests to use.

[00:29:08] Nice.

[00:29:08] There you go.

[00:29:10] If you're in West Tennessee, start your party.

[00:29:13] Update!

[00:29:16] I'm torn about this.

[00:29:18] I'm still going to bet on Mike Tyson, though.

[00:29:21] Really?

[00:29:21] The Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson suffers new setback as huge changes are made before the mega fight.

[00:29:28] It's coming up.

[00:29:29] What?

[00:29:30] Guess who doesn't care?

[00:29:31] You.

[00:29:32] The children.

[00:29:33] I care.

[00:29:34] Oh, you care?

[00:29:34] I'm a boxing person because I'm old.

[00:29:37] UFC is too violent for me.

[00:29:38] I don't know why boxing is not because you could die there, too.

[00:29:42] But UFC, I feel like they lay on the ground.

[00:29:44] They still kick them after they're bleeding.

[00:29:45] They're clearly down.

[00:29:46] Yeah.

[00:29:47] And I just feel like, I mean, I get why people like it.

[00:29:50] I've never, I just never have gone that far.

[00:29:53] I'm just an old boxing person.

[00:29:56] Well, anyway, the ticket prices are taking a nosedive.

[00:30:01] I don't think the children care about boxing.

[00:30:03] I think it's too outdated.

[00:30:05] Because UFC took over.

[00:30:08] Right.

[00:30:08] Right.

[00:30:08] I mean, Jake Paul is popular with the children.

[00:30:12] Yeah.

[00:30:13] YouTube guy, blah, blah, blah.

[00:30:15] But I feel like they probably think, oh, he's fighting grandpa.

[00:30:18] Like, it's not going to be worth.

[00:30:21] This marks another significant blow for the promoters who have already faced several challenges.

[00:30:25] This year, the rescheduled fight is said to take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

[00:30:30] Are you kidding?

[00:30:31] What are you guys thinking?

[00:30:32] On November 15th, having been postponed, as you would know if you listen to this podcast,

[00:30:37] from July because Iron Mike Tyson fell ill, tickets are being sold at an astonishing discount.

[00:30:48] Some are as little as $30.

[00:30:50] The stadium's capacity exceeds $80,000.

[00:30:53] What the fuck were you thinking?

[00:30:54] There are not 80,000 people that are going to a Tyson fight.

[00:30:57] Nope.

[00:30:59] We should go.

[00:30:59] We should go.

[00:31:00] It's amazing.

[00:31:01] Yeah.

[00:31:01] What night of the week is that?

[00:31:04] Probably a Saturday.

[00:31:05] Yeah.

[00:31:05] I'm probably working.

[00:31:06] On November 15th, I'm not working somewhere.

[00:31:09] Probably.

[00:31:09] Probably.

[00:31:10] I'll go.

[00:31:11] You could go.

[00:31:12] Yes.

[00:31:12] Yeah.

[00:31:14] Yeah.

[00:31:14] A sellout crowd was expected, but now with just two weeks left, SeatGeek has listed tickets

[00:31:18] for $37 with some on StubHub or available for $52, significantly less than anticipated.

[00:31:23] Ringside tickets, though, are still $50,000.

[00:31:26] Because here's what's going to happen.

[00:31:27] If you go with the shitty seats in a venue that large, you're going to end up watching TV.

[00:31:32] Yeah.

[00:31:32] A boxing ring cannot get any larger.

[00:31:35] No.

[00:31:35] It has to be the size that it's always been its entire career.

[00:31:38] It's going to be the same size.

[00:31:39] So, it can be little teeny tiny people if you're up in the shitty seats.

[00:31:43] And you're just going to watch the big screens.

[00:31:45] Mm-hmm.

[00:31:45] Like, unlike a football game, there's things everywhere.

[00:31:49] Right.

[00:31:49] But this is just a tiny, tiny square with tiny, tiny people in it.

[00:31:53] Mm-hmm.

[00:31:53] And it's just, I'd rather stay home.

[00:31:57] Yeah.

[00:31:57] Or go to a bar where it's fun.

[00:31:59] Yeah.

[00:31:59] Watch on TV.

[00:32:00] Um, update!

[00:32:03] Oh, Chimp Crazy.

[00:32:04] It's not over.

[00:32:05] It's not over.

[00:32:07] Did you watch Chimp Crazy, people?

[00:32:08] I loved it.

[00:32:09] A lot of you did, I know.

[00:32:10] I loved it.

[00:32:10] Uh, I forget.

[00:32:12] Was that on Netflix?

[00:32:13] I forget.

[00:32:13] I think so.

[00:32:14] HBO.

[00:32:14] HBO.

[00:32:15] Right, right, right, right, right.

[00:32:16] Yeah, your friend Evan directed it.

[00:32:17] My friend Evan.

[00:32:18] Yeah, who I got to meet.

[00:32:20] It was great.

[00:32:21] Uh, well, PETA, they're not resting.

[00:32:24] They're going after Tanya again.

[00:32:25] What?

[00:32:26] Yep.

[00:32:27] They're going after the woman who tried to fake a chimpanzee's death in 2021.

[00:32:31] In a new motion filed Wednesday, the Animal Rights Organization accused exotic animal

[00:32:36] broker Tanya Haddix of committing perjury and violating previous court orders, citing

[00:32:40] the recent HBO docuseries Chimp Crazy as evidence.

[00:32:43] She did do that.

[00:32:44] She did.

[00:32:45] And I think you should be in trouble.

[00:32:46] But I don't understand why you're not in trouble from the court.

[00:32:49] Lying under oath.

[00:32:50] Lying under oath.

[00:32:51] From the court.

[00:32:52] Right.

[00:32:52] From the state of Missouri, or I don't know where she gave her depositions.

[00:32:56] Well, Missouri.

[00:32:57] Yeah.

[00:32:57] Um, da-da-da.

[00:33:02] Hold on.

[00:33:02] You don't need to know all this if you saw it.

[00:33:04] She hid the chimp.

[00:33:05] She lied.

[00:33:05] She had a...

[00:33:07] Tonka was alive in the basement in some fucked up cage.

[00:33:11] And PETA's still mad.

[00:33:12] I guess they have to sue her for lying under oath?

[00:33:15] I thought that you would be in trouble by the court for that.

[00:33:18] Yeah.

[00:33:18] Um, my dad is not here for me to ask these questions, so I don't know.

[00:33:22] But I could Google it, I guess.

[00:33:24] Um, she defied the court orders on camera and made a mockery of the justice system in front

[00:33:28] of the international audience in order to deprive a chimpanzee of a real life.

[00:33:33] Oh.

[00:33:34] True.

[00:33:35] Yep.

[00:33:35] Yeah, she hid the chimp.

[00:33:36] She was too attached.

[00:33:38] I mean, these people...

[00:33:39] There's something weird going on there.

[00:33:41] She's in love with that chimp.

[00:33:43] You always tend to think that someone's having sex with the animal.

[00:33:46] But yeah, I think so.

[00:33:47] No.

[00:33:48] Yeah.

[00:33:48] I don't always think that.

[00:33:49] No.

[00:33:49] I don't always think that.

[00:33:51] I think in this case...

[00:33:51] Well, it's one of your go-tos.

[00:33:53] If they like it too much, you think...

[00:33:55] I don't know how many people have animal sex.

[00:34:00] I don't think because you love baby cat, you're in a relationship.

[00:34:03] Oh my God.

[00:34:03] She was ordered in 2023 to pay a total of nearly $225,000 to reimburse PETA for fees and cost

[00:34:10] incurred throughout this saga.

[00:34:11] Exactly.

[00:34:12] Where's she going to get...

[00:34:13] And then they call us mom.

[00:34:14] But I don't know.

[00:34:15] She sells those little monkeys for like 65 grand.

[00:34:17] Maybe she can make $225,000.

[00:34:19] That's fine.

[00:34:20] She's got all kinds of crazy pets.

[00:34:22] She's driving them all around up to Ohio.

[00:34:24] She drives her in the back seat in a car seat in a suit and everything.

[00:34:29] That's great.

[00:34:32] I don't know.

[00:34:33] I will keep you updated if they win.

[00:34:38] Yeah.

[00:34:39] Oh my God.

[00:34:40] That scene where she's sedated Tonka and then they dragged a chimp into...

[00:34:43] It was like a Holiday Inn Express or something like that.

[00:34:47] I don't know what's going to happen.

[00:34:48] I thought the courts got in trouble.

[00:34:50] I never understood when they say, I swear, I'm not going to lie.

[00:34:53] What if you do?

[00:34:54] Right.

[00:34:54] I don't know.

[00:34:55] We're going to see.

[00:34:57] This is crazy.

[00:34:59] Update!

[00:35:01] I don't think I've said that properly yet on this show.

[00:35:03] No, you haven't.

[00:35:04] This episode.

[00:35:05] Cracker Barrel.

[00:35:07] I told you they were in trouble.

[00:35:09] Yeah.

[00:35:09] It's part of our...

[00:35:10] It's called Your Business section.

[00:35:13] Your Business.

[00:35:13] It's Your Business.

[00:35:14] Watches.

[00:35:15] Watches.

[00:35:15] Yeah.

[00:35:15] Yeah, watches.

[00:35:16] Cracker Barrel is surging.

[00:35:20] Crazy amounts of surging.

[00:35:21] What?

[00:35:21] And it's got nothing to do with the food.

[00:35:24] They do, however, I'm going to tell you about this, have six new item menus.

[00:35:29] It's Gen Z.

[00:35:31] They're going to single-handedly save Cracker Barrel, and here's how.

[00:35:34] It's not because of the Sunrise Sampler.

[00:35:36] No.

[00:35:39] Here's what it is.

[00:35:42] The recent college graduates have brought all their hopes and dreams and aspirations to the finest establishment in the country,

[00:35:47] not for food, but for the clothes.

[00:35:51] Shut up.

[00:35:52] They have discovered the gift shop.

[00:35:54] There's nothing in there I'm wearing.

[00:35:56] Here's what they want.

[00:35:58] Old vintage sweaters and crew necks that your mom, who's probably a grandma now, wore back in the 80s and 90s are now all the rage for the youngins today.

[00:36:08] What?

[00:36:08] Yeah, you know that they're quilted, and they got like a quilt hunting or fishing scene.

[00:36:13] Yeah.

[00:36:13] Yeah.

[00:36:14] Those.

[00:36:15] What?

[00:36:15] The children love them.

[00:36:17] I gotta go now.

[00:36:17] Remember these bad boys?

[00:36:19] Of course you do.

[00:36:19] Well, they're brand new to the TikTokers out there nowadays, and they're gobbling them up like a slice of that wonderful meatloaf.

[00:36:25] Y'all, only 30 bucks, gasped TikTok, gasped TikToker Emily as she unleashed a video of her running to Cracker Barrel for the cutest vintage hunting and fishing crew necks ever.

[00:36:37] Ever.

[00:36:37] You're right.

[00:36:38] They're everywhere.

[00:36:39] Yeah.

[00:36:39] There's over two.

[00:36:40] She got two million views on that video.

[00:36:42] Yeah.

[00:36:42] That kid did.

[00:36:43] Wow.

[00:36:44] Yeah.

[00:36:45] Yeah.

[00:36:46] The Gen Zs like this stuff.

[00:36:48] Nostalgia is the name of the game right now.

[00:36:51] It's the quickest way to a quick buck, if you ask me.

[00:36:53] Back in my hometown of Vero Beach, a place called Quick Snap, blah, blah, blah, it doesn't matter.

[00:37:00] This is what the kids are doing.

[00:37:02] This is wonderful.

[00:37:03] They're 30 bucks.

[00:37:04] Their sales are up 700%.

[00:37:06] I mean, if this is what saves Cracker Barrel, God love y'all and love the children.

[00:37:12] I got, you know, I've never noticed, I go to Cracker Barrel quite often.

[00:37:16] Do you know who else goes quite often?

[00:37:18] Mr. Louis Black.

[00:37:20] On the road, he loves Cracker Barrel.

[00:37:23] I like more, I don't like their breakfast because once again, the toast is on a griddle and it just tastes like oil.

[00:37:30] But I do like their meatloaf, their grandma meals.

[00:37:33] They're very good.

[00:37:34] This is wonderful.

[00:37:35] We're going.

[00:37:36] I'll go.

[00:37:37] I'll make a video.

[00:37:38] Yeah, this is awesome.

[00:37:39] Here's their six new item menus.

[00:37:42] Oh, this one's got a cat on it.

[00:37:43] A cat?

[00:37:44] Oh.

[00:37:45] A deer?

[00:37:46] This one's a deer?

[00:37:47] It's a holiday menu.

[00:37:49] They have a do-it-yourself hot chocolate bar?

[00:37:52] Oh, come on.

[00:37:53] I don't know.

[00:37:53] I might do that.

[00:37:54] That's gross.

[00:37:55] Sparkling plum mimosa?

[00:37:57] Stop it, Cracker Barrel.

[00:37:58] Cracker Barrel, here's the thing.

[00:37:59] You just got liquor license.

[00:38:01] It's not that long ago.

[00:38:02] Start easy.

[00:38:03] Just how about champagne?

[00:38:05] Mix it with orange juice.

[00:38:06] Boom.

[00:38:06] It's a mimosa.

[00:38:07] There you go.

[00:38:07] Let's not go into plum.

[00:38:09] You don't know what you're doing.

[00:38:10] Plum.

[00:38:11] Oh.

[00:38:11] Oh.

[00:38:12] Sparkling wine plum favors and edible gold glitter for sparkly season treat.

[00:38:18] Gross.

[00:38:19] Vomit.

[00:38:20] Gross.

[00:38:21] Signature fried apple French toast bake.

[00:38:23] I'm into this.

[00:38:24] It just is a pile of crap in a pan.

[00:38:26] It's like French toast and then apples and then sugar and like an apple pie covering French

[00:38:33] toast.

[00:38:33] Gross.

[00:38:33] It's very stealth and sneaky.

[00:38:35] You think you're not going to be into it?

[00:38:37] You're going to be into it.

[00:38:38] I'm a fair judge.

[00:38:39] Let's get rid of the plum mimosa.

[00:38:42] Please, Cracker Barrel.

[00:38:43] Plumosa.

[00:38:43] The plum, the plum missile.

[00:38:46] The plumosa.

[00:38:47] Cinnamon swirl French toast breakfast.

[00:38:50] Yeah.

[00:38:51] They hand dip cinnamon streusel bread until it's golden brown, then top with cinnamon

[00:38:55] and cream cheese icings.

[00:38:58] Good.

[00:38:58] Good.

[00:38:59] Yeah.

[00:38:59] Pot roast?

[00:39:00] Can't go wrong.

[00:39:01] Hash brown casserole shepherd's pie?

[00:39:03] No.

[00:39:04] People in this country don't know how to do shepherd's pie correctly.

[00:39:08] It's never like it is in England or Scotland.

[00:39:12] Yeah.

[00:39:13] They also have a broccoli cheese casserole.

[00:39:17] I'm in.

[00:39:18] I like their casserole.

[00:39:19] Yeah.

[00:39:20] So if you're one of the old people like me and you just want to go for the food, but

[00:39:24] you kind of want to see what the youngsters are into, I'm dying to see what, and then I'll

[00:39:29] bet you, well, the one I know where to go, where the children won't go.

[00:39:33] It's mostly old people, is there?

[00:39:35] Unless they're raiding them exit by exit by exit.

[00:39:39] Because there's three within 15 minutes right of this property right now.

[00:39:42] You live a half an hour from headquarters.

[00:39:44] I'm a half hour from headquarters, so if shit goes down, I know where to start going.

[00:39:48] Okay.

[00:39:49] Listen.

[00:39:49] Listen, bitches.

[00:39:50] I'm on it.

[00:39:51] We got some problems.

[00:39:54] Holy shit.

[00:39:58] This is crazy.

[00:39:59] How do these things keep happening?

[00:40:01] What?

[00:40:02] A new Chopin unearthed nearly 200 years after its composition.

[00:40:09] What?

[00:40:09] Yep.

[00:40:10] It's happened again.

[00:40:11] A work by a long-dead composer has been discovered centuries after their passing.

[00:40:15] This time, the composer is Frederick Chopin.

[00:40:19] I never knew his first name was Fred.

[00:40:21] Freddy.

[00:40:21] Yeah, Freddy.

[00:40:22] Freddy Chopin.

[00:40:23] It's happening.

[00:40:25] Chopin.

[00:40:25] Chopin.

[00:40:26] I should have said Chopin.

[00:40:28] Chopin.

[00:40:31] On October 27th, 2024, the New York Times reported the discovery of a short Chopin waltz.

[00:40:38] The piece, scribbled on the paper the size of an index card, was uncovered by Robinson McClellan,

[00:40:45] music curator of the Morgan Library and Museum in Manhattan.

[00:40:48] It was part of an uncatalogued collection donated to the museum in 2019.

[00:40:54] Why wasn't that catalog, Chad?

[00:40:55] It is 2024.

[00:40:57] 2019, 2020, 2021, and all that was COVID.

[00:41:00] You had plenty of time to go through those boxes.

[00:41:02] A lot going on.

[00:41:03] That's bullshit.

[00:41:03] Mm-hmm.

[00:41:04] That's too slow.

[00:41:05] I'd jump somebody's ass for that.

[00:41:07] What do you mean five years?

[00:41:08] You've spent sitting here for five years in a box?

[00:41:10] Right.

[00:41:10] Come on.

[00:41:11] Maybe they have a lot of stuff.

[00:41:12] I don't know.

[00:41:13] He found a small manuscript at the bottom of the vault.

[00:41:16] The paper was signed, Chopin, and handwritten music sprawled across a tiny space.

[00:41:21] McClellan was initially skeptical.

[00:41:23] After all, new works by him are a rare find.

[00:41:25] They also launched an analysis of the piece, even seeking assistance from Jeffrey Kalberg,

[00:41:31] Chopin Scholar and Associate Dean for Arts and Letters at the University of Pennsylvania.

[00:41:37] Wow.

[00:41:38] Yeah.

[00:41:38] It's very, very short, though.

[00:41:39] I saw somewhere in this article.

[00:41:40] I think it's only like a minute.

[00:41:44] Where did it go?

[00:41:46] It's very short.

[00:41:47] It's like under a minute.

[00:41:48] Oh, wow.

[00:41:49] Yeah, but somebody learned short in length.

[00:41:53] Oh, they don't say it.

[00:41:55] But they said, I thought I read under a minute.

[00:41:58] Anyway, it's kind of cool.

[00:41:59] Yeah.

[00:42:00] Yeah.

[00:42:00] What else is in your boxes, guys?

[00:42:02] Jesus.

[00:42:03] 2019?

[00:42:04] Come on now.

[00:42:07] All right, I'm going to save it.

[00:42:09] I'm going to save this.

[00:42:09] Holy shit, they found it for next week.

[00:42:11] We're moving on.

[00:42:13] News.

[00:42:14] Yeah.

[00:42:14] Oh, my God.

[00:42:16] This is crazy.

[00:42:19] You got a lot going on.

[00:42:20] You have a yay balloon.

[00:42:22] I have a yay balloon.

[00:42:23] That's right.

[00:42:24] Yay.

[00:42:27] Starbucks.

[00:42:30] I don't know about them anymore.

[00:42:32] Okay.

[00:42:33] Yeah.

[00:42:34] Like in New York, an Americano is seven bucks.

[00:42:37] That's crazy.

[00:42:38] Now, can I afford that?

[00:42:40] Yeah.

[00:42:41] I don't have kids and all that shit.

[00:42:43] But, like, that's a lot.

[00:42:46] It's a lot of money.

[00:42:46] Right.

[00:42:47] And then if you do it seven days a week, don't want to brag, but I did the math.

[00:42:50] 49 bucks.

[00:42:51] So that's 200 bucks to the children a month.

[00:42:55] Yep.

[00:42:55] So two times 12 is four.

[00:42:59] It's $2,400 a year.

[00:43:02] You spent on coffee.

[00:43:04] Yeah.

[00:43:05] I'm not one for budgets.

[00:43:07] Right.

[00:43:07] My entire life, I've never lived on a budget.

[00:43:09] I don't even like to see math.

[00:43:10] I don't want to know.

[00:43:12] I'm a Jack Madigan.

[00:43:13] Spend it when you feel like it.

[00:43:14] Move on.

[00:43:15] But I don't know.

[00:43:17] This new, here's the guys.

[00:43:18] Here's the new, this new CEO I don't really think has it going on.

[00:43:22] Okay.

[00:43:22] Yeah, he's not.

[00:43:25] Okay.

[00:43:25] So here's one of his ideas.

[00:43:27] You want to fire him already?

[00:43:28] Yeah.

[00:43:30] Yeah.

[00:43:31] Okay.

[00:43:31] Starbucks is bringing back handwritten names in Sharpie on cups and self-serve stations

[00:43:36] with sugar and cream to try to win customers back.

[00:43:39] They cut out the stations, a lot of them, in big cities after COVID.

[00:43:43] Yeah.

[00:43:44] Because they don't want the cream out.

[00:43:45] But once again, I say, what about the Tylenol scare?

[00:43:48] And then you say, what's that?

[00:43:49] And then the Tarbites are like, I got to Google that shit.

[00:43:52] Uh-huh.

[00:43:52] Yeah.

[00:43:52] Yeah.

[00:43:53] That cream probably should have never been out.

[00:43:56] The sugar is different if you have the packets.

[00:44:00] It slows everything down, too.

[00:44:02] Well, and then they have a giant Starbucks and they have a coffee and cream station that

[00:44:07] holds two people.

[00:44:08] Uh-huh.

[00:44:08] And then everybody gathers around and then you feel pressure if you're the one there.

[00:44:11] Well, if you have a conscience, you feel pressure because you're like, shit, I'm taking too

[00:44:16] long.

[00:44:16] And then there's all these people waiting.

[00:44:17] If you're an asshole, you just take your sweet ass time.

[00:44:21] And, uh...

[00:44:22] Keep tasting it.

[00:44:23] Yeah.

[00:44:23] I don't care who puts my sugar in.

[00:44:26] Whatever.

[00:44:27] Uh-huh.

[00:44:27] But this, you know, writing my name in Sharpie, I don't care.

[00:44:31] Who cares?

[00:44:33] It says it in type now.

[00:44:34] If I mobile order, it says cat because everybody can spell cat.

[00:44:39] I used to...

[00:44:40] I stole my sister's name.

[00:44:41] I'd say Kate.

[00:44:42] Yeah.

[00:44:42] Cat's even better.

[00:44:43] Yeah.

[00:44:43] Yeah.

[00:44:44] No, because they don't repeat it.

[00:44:47] I just go cat.

[00:44:48] They go cat.

[00:44:49] Yep.

[00:44:49] We don't have to spell it.

[00:44:50] Nope.

[00:44:51] Yep.

[00:44:51] Anyway.

[00:44:53] Baristas handwriting customers' names and messages on their drink in marker will make

[00:44:58] a comeback, said CEO Brian Nicol, Nicol, Nicol, whatever, in a quarterly, he said Wednesday,

[00:45:05] on a quarterly earnings call.

[00:45:07] It's part of his strategy to recreate a coffeehouse vibe at Starbucks and add a, quote, human touch.

[00:45:12] Oh, good.

[00:45:14] You know what would be funnier?

[00:45:15] If they blew you a kiss.

[00:45:20] And then you could wink.

[00:45:23] It's not sexual harassment.

[00:45:24] It's love.

[00:45:25] It's love.

[00:45:27] If you wink, if you overdo your wink, you know it's a joke.

[00:45:30] Yeah, they could do the Tay-Tay heart.

[00:45:32] I love you.

[00:45:33] I love you.

[00:45:33] I love you.

[00:45:34] I love you.

[00:45:36] He said, the number I heard was something like 200,000 Sharpies we've got to track down.

[00:45:41] Unfortunately, it's not as simple as going to Staples and picking up some Sharpies.

[00:45:45] Yeah, it is.

[00:45:46] That's his business plan?

[00:45:47] Yeah.

[00:45:48] He's going to go buy 200,000 Sharpies.

[00:45:50] He has a department for that.

[00:45:51] Go to Office Depot.

[00:45:52] No one's working in there.

[00:45:53] It's completely empty.

[00:45:55] Some lady unlocks the door and then goes wherever she goes, and then you could just walk right

[00:45:59] out with 200,000.

[00:46:00] You can take it.

[00:46:01] I don't steal because I believe in karma, but if you were going to steal, just saying, Office

[00:46:08] Depot is abandoned.

[00:46:10] Yeah.

[00:46:10] But they're open.

[00:46:12] He's going to bring back self-serve condiment station suit.

[00:46:15] The company removed them during the pandemic.

[00:46:17] Our customers are asking for it.

[00:46:18] Our baristas are saying it would help them speed up orders.

[00:46:20] It would if they don't have to put all your bullshit in there.

[00:46:23] Here's your thing.

[00:46:24] Do what you want.

[00:46:25] But they need to make them way bigger then.

[00:46:27] Way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way bigger.

[00:46:30] I won't stand in the line.

[00:46:31] That's sometimes why I get mad at Starbuck.

[00:46:33] I'm like, shit, I should have went to 7-Eleven.

[00:46:36] Right.

[00:46:36] Plenty of room.

[00:46:39] It's part of the changes who took over.

[00:46:41] He took over in September.

[00:46:42] We'll see about this.

[00:46:43] Right.

[00:46:44] Yeah.

[00:46:44] Our financial reward, they dropped 7%.

[00:46:47] Because your coffee's too expensive.

[00:46:49] Right.

[00:46:50] I mean, I hope the children are being paid well.

[00:46:52] I haven't looked into all that.

[00:46:53] I think they get good pay.

[00:46:55] I don't know.

[00:46:56] Oh, he's not going to charge you for oat milk.

[00:46:59] Thank bejesus.

[00:47:01] Have you ever had oat milk?

[00:47:02] I have had oat milk.

[00:47:04] It's fine.

[00:47:05] But why do that when I have milk?

[00:47:08] Until all the cows in the world die,

[00:47:10] I don't need to go to soy milk, oat milk, none of that.

[00:47:13] Unless you're a lactose person, my sister,

[00:47:15] then you guys do what you need to do.

[00:47:16] I'm glad it's available.

[00:47:18] I'm not.

[00:47:19] In Nashville.

[00:47:20] They used to have a...

[00:47:21] 1325.

[00:47:22] 1325?

[00:47:23] And do they get benefits?

[00:47:24] Don't they pay for school or something?

[00:47:30] Oh.

[00:47:31] Oh.

[00:47:32] You got to work as a certain amount.

[00:47:33] Oh.

[00:47:35] They used to be a 10% upcharge if you ordered soy, oat, almond, or coconut milk.

[00:47:41] I think my friend Jan Arden is very excited that they're not going to do that anymore.

[00:47:44] So, okay.

[00:47:45] For the people who like all that, it's a good thing.

[00:47:47] I like all that.

[00:47:47] But that's not...

[00:47:49] It's good.

[00:47:50] It's good.

[00:47:50] Maybe it's half the people.

[00:47:52] Right.

[00:47:53] But this is not another idea where I go, dude, great idea.

[00:47:56] Right.

[00:47:56] I'm like, oh, okay.

[00:47:58] We're not going to charge 10% for what milks?

[00:48:01] Right.

[00:48:01] What of the milks that aren't milk?

[00:48:03] Mm-hmm.

[00:48:03] That are made up things.

[00:48:05] Okay.

[00:48:06] If you order a glass of milk there.

[00:48:09] Yeah, because I go in and order milk.

[00:48:11] Yeah.

[00:48:11] And then they're like, what?

[00:48:13] I'm like, I know you have it.

[00:48:15] Don't lie to me.

[00:48:16] I want a glass of whole milk.

[00:48:18] How much is it?

[00:48:18] $4.50.

[00:48:19] Yeah, it's crazy.

[00:48:20] Yeah.

[00:48:20] More than a gallon.

[00:48:21] Yep.

[00:48:23] But sometimes on the road, I'm just desperate.

[00:48:26] I'm not seeing any ideas here.

[00:48:29] Are you saying you'd rather people bring your milk?

[00:48:31] I do love milk.

[00:48:32] I mean, I love milk.

[00:48:33] I told you, I would give a beer for milk.

[00:48:35] And that's saying a lot.

[00:48:36] That's the craziest thing I've ever heard.

[00:48:38] Yeah.

[00:48:38] Okay, here's one of my favorite things about the United States of America.

[00:48:42] Okay.

[00:48:43] When you think America's going to hell, just remember, in this country, we allow completely

[00:48:49] crazy people to be their own attorneys.

[00:48:51] Anyways, it's one of my tiniest pleasures in life to see a crazy person represent themselves

[00:48:57] in a court of law.

[00:48:58] And we allow it.

[00:49:00] Yeah.

[00:49:00] Nobody puts the brakes on.

[00:49:01] Let's do a psychiatric evaluation of this person.

[00:49:04] If they're deemed not stable, we're not going to let them be their own.

[00:49:07] Nope.

[00:49:08] Nope.

[00:49:09] Lori Vallow Daybell.

[00:49:10] She's the one, the doomsday mother out in Idaho, that her and the guy killed her two

[00:49:16] kids, JJ and Tylee.

[00:49:18] Tylee.

[00:49:20] It took place in, she next, she already took, the trial took place in Idaho.

[00:49:25] She was found guilty.

[00:49:26] The next one she faces in Arizona for a conspiracy to murder her fourth husband, Charles Vallow,

[00:49:31] which if you watch that whole thing, I watched the whole thing on something, Dateline maybe.

[00:49:35] Dateline had one.

[00:49:36] Yeah, she definitely did all this.

[00:49:42] Everything Lori does is a lie.

[00:49:44] Now the lie is she's saying it wasn't her that killed that man.

[00:49:49] It was her daughter.

[00:49:51] What?

[00:49:51] Who's dead.

[00:49:52] But she did it before she died.

[00:49:56] Charles was the brother of the da-da-da.

[00:49:58] But wait, I want to read the part about where she's chosen to be her.

[00:50:02] There was a subway shooter or something where he decided to represent himself.

[00:50:07] And then there's a witness on the stand and he goes, so who shot you?

[00:50:10] And the lady was flabbergasted.

[00:50:11] She goes, you!

[00:50:13] You, dude!

[00:50:14] You shot me!

[00:50:15] Well, I don't know about that.

[00:50:18] I'm going to need to reconvene.

[00:50:22] She's asked for a hearing to see if she's competent to stand trial,

[00:50:25] which means she can be her own attorney in her own defense.

[00:50:30] She's also asking to represent herself in Arizona.

[00:50:34] You're kidding.

[00:50:35] Mm-hmm.

[00:50:35] Do they have the death penalty?

[00:50:37] Arizona?

[00:50:37] Yep.

[00:50:38] I don't know if they have the death penalty.

[00:50:39] Standby.

[00:50:40] Standby.

[00:50:40] Are those my people?

[00:50:47] That'll be a cliffhanger for Dateline.

[00:50:49] Dateline, I think, is done with this story, though.

[00:50:51] It's so crazy.

[00:50:53] It even got too crazy for them.

[00:50:55] They have it.

[00:50:55] They have the death penalty?

[00:50:57] Uh-huh.

[00:50:57] Yeah.

[00:50:58] Oh, oh, oh, oh.

[00:50:59] Yep.

[00:51:01] They've executed 95 people.

[00:51:03] They've executed 95 people total?

[00:51:06] Mm-hmm.

[00:51:06] Since 1914.

[00:51:07] Since, oh.

[00:51:08] Yeah.

[00:51:09] Since 1914?

[00:51:10] That's not that many.

[00:51:11] Here's a little something.

[00:51:13] My dad predicted this long before.

[00:51:16] Probably not enough.

[00:51:17] Not enough people, according to you.

[00:51:19] I know.

[00:51:21] This is how Libra feels about the death penalty.

[00:51:23] I think it should be up to the victims of the crime.

[00:51:27] The victim's family.

[00:51:28] The victim's family.

[00:51:29] The victims are gone.

[00:51:30] Well, right.

[00:51:30] The victims are dead.

[00:51:31] So, if somebody kills my brother and his wife would get the first choice, and let's say

[00:51:40] he wasn't married, then the immediate family, we get to decide what happens to the man

[00:51:45] who's found guilty.

[00:51:46] To that idea.

[00:51:47] I mean, maybe you're a super-duper Christian family, and you say, let him go.

[00:51:51] We forgive him.

[00:51:52] Okay.

[00:51:52] And then you lucked out.

[00:51:54] You killed the right person.

[00:51:55] Yeah, we can't.

[00:51:55] Well, unless...

[00:51:56] Let him go, go.

[00:51:56] No, you let him...

[00:51:57] Well, you say you don't have to be killed.

[00:51:59] Right.

[00:52:00] Maybe there's people...

[00:52:01] I just don't understand why random people get to decide for the people that are left behind

[00:52:07] after the crime.

[00:52:07] I think they should be able to.

[00:52:08] But that's the Libra in me talking.

[00:52:10] It's a jury of our peers.

[00:52:11] But the jury of the peers, they recommend to the judge.

[00:52:14] The judge decides.

[00:52:16] Yeah.

[00:52:17] That's why I'm not a judge.

[00:52:18] This is what my dad was...

[00:52:20] Okay, for years, my dad...

[00:52:22] They'd have the commercial for 2023 and me on.

[00:52:25] Remember the DNA?

[00:52:27] And he...

[00:52:28] Now, this doesn't mean people who did it are stupid or nothing.

[00:52:31] This is just a lawyer's perspective, and I just happen to be around him a lot.

[00:52:34] Who, in Christ's name, would randomly and voluntarily send your DNA anywhere?

[00:52:43] Jesus Christ.

[00:52:44] He would go absolutely apeshit on...

[00:52:48] And I'm like, well, Dad, maybe people are just interested in, you know, what their heritage...

[00:52:52] Well, then ask your goddamn...

[00:52:54] Do not send your DNA to...

[00:52:57] You know this is going to the police station.

[00:52:59] You know this is going to the government.

[00:53:01] You know...

[00:53:02] And I'm like, oh, Dad, you're getting too wound up.

[00:53:04] My thing was, I don't think this company's a very good idea to buy stock in, because eventually,

[00:53:09] all the people that want to do it will have done it.

[00:53:11] Right.

[00:53:12] It's a finite amount of sales.

[00:53:15] And then they went to the pet thing.

[00:53:17] That's funny.

[00:53:18] I have friends who've done it.

[00:53:20] They've sent their dog's DNA, because they want to...

[00:53:22] And then it comes back, oh, he's 8% beagle, 4%.

[00:53:25] And I'm like, he says...

[00:53:26] 1%.

[00:53:27] Because guess what?

[00:53:28] That dog can't go, oh, that's all bullshit.

[00:53:30] I'm actually part German Shepherd.

[00:53:32] I've asked my parents.

[00:53:33] Like, they could send back anything.

[00:53:35] Totally.

[00:53:36] Because you have to send a picture of your dog.

[00:53:37] So you could just guess.

[00:53:39] I mean, I could go, oh, blue tick.

[00:53:41] Yeah.

[00:53:41] Hound.

[00:53:42] Pit.

[00:53:44] Three years ago, the DNA testing firm 23 was a massive success with a share price higher

[00:53:50] than apples.

[00:53:51] Are you kidding?

[00:53:52] But from those heady days of millions of people rushing to send it saliva samples, my dad couldn't

[00:53:58] believe you would give up your identity freely and voluntarily and pay for it.

[00:54:02] Wow.

[00:54:03] Yeah.

[00:54:03] He really thought the government or somebody was buying cops or someone was buying.

[00:54:07] Um, uh, for detailed reports about their answers to family connections and genetic backup.

[00:54:13] Now it's fighting for survival.

[00:54:14] The same company.

[00:54:15] Its share price has plummeted this week.

[00:54:17] It's narrowly avoided being delisted from the stock market.

[00:54:20] You're kidding.

[00:54:21] What?

[00:54:21] Bro.

[00:54:22] Wow.

[00:54:23] Bro.

[00:54:23] And of course, this is a company that holds the most sensitive data imaginable about its

[00:54:27] customers, raising trouble questions, troubling questions about what happens to its huge

[00:54:31] and extremely valuable database.

[00:54:33] Right?

[00:54:34] Yeah.

[00:54:35] What if the company goes out of business?

[00:54:36] Do they have a yard sale of DNA?

[00:54:39] God, I never thought of that.

[00:54:40] Yep.

[00:54:41] He did.

[00:54:42] Wow.

[00:54:42] My dad would be very happy to be alive right now to go, I told you and everybody told me

[00:54:48] I was blah, blah, blah.

[00:54:50] Um, yeah.

[00:54:53] That's crazy.

[00:54:56] It's famous customers included Snoop Dogg, Oprah Winfrey, Eva Longoria, Warren Buffett,

[00:55:01] and millions of users that were getting unexpected and life changing results.

[00:55:05] Well, I was not even allowed.

[00:55:06] So in a Catholic grade school, I remember one time I had a permission slip that I had

[00:55:11] to get signed.

[00:55:11] The cops were going to come to school.

[00:55:13] I was probably like in fourth or fifth grade and fingerprint us and teach us about cop things.

[00:55:21] And I said to my dad, I go, you have to sign this because tomorrow there's an hour where

[00:55:26] the cops are coming and we get fingerprinted.

[00:55:29] He goes, oh, absolutely goddamn not.

[00:55:33] You're being fingerprinted.

[00:55:34] And I'm like, why?

[00:55:35] I mean, I was only like 10 and this is your identity.

[00:55:40] This is how people get accused of fake crimes.

[00:55:42] I thought, wow, does he already think I'm a criminal?

[00:55:44] Like I haven't felt the desire to do any crimes yet.

[00:55:48] I'm not saying I'm not capable.

[00:55:50] I'm all good.

[00:55:51] Maybe.

[00:55:51] But he's seeing something in the back of my eyes going, no, no.

[00:55:56] So I said, well, shit.

[00:55:58] It's embarrassing then.

[00:55:59] I'm like, dad, I'll go up there and set those nuns.

[00:56:02] Those nuns should know better.

[00:56:04] You don't ask children.

[00:56:06] You don't ask children.

[00:56:07] I go, well, they're not asking me.

[00:56:08] They're asking you.

[00:56:09] That's why I have the piece of paper, ding dong.

[00:56:11] So he went up and gave him a lecture about our rights.

[00:56:14] And oh, my God.

[00:56:16] Now, I did think it was kind of cool because he's basically back talking a nun, which I

[00:56:21] was like, yeah, you got to root for that a little bit, right?

[00:56:25] But I had to sit out in the hallway.

[00:56:27] Yeah.

[00:56:28] Anybody else?

[00:56:28] All by myself.

[00:56:29] Nope.

[00:56:30] Nope.

[00:56:31] Nobody else had a lawyer, defense lawyer as a dad, I guess.

[00:56:34] I don't know.

[00:56:35] And I'm like, nope, not giving up the fingerprints yet.

[00:56:38] You don't know what I'm capable of.

[00:56:40] Look at me, for God's sakes.

[00:56:41] That's a hard note.

[00:56:43] So, I mean, a long time ago.

[00:56:45] I had a tough time giving my eye prints to clear at the airport.

[00:56:49] I didn't like it.

[00:56:50] My dad would die twice if he knew I did it.

[00:56:52] Mm-hmm.

[00:56:53] But at this age and beyond, probably not going to commit a crime.

[00:56:58] I don't think I'll be accused of one.

[00:57:00] And then, you know, they plant the DNA that, yeah, all that.

[00:57:03] No.

[00:57:03] I'm not going to be a Dateline episode as far as I can tell.

[00:57:06] No.

[00:57:06] But anyway, what's going to happen?

[00:57:10] They found out, you know, this has your genetic makeup for medical reasons.

[00:57:15] If you have a predisposition, they could sell that shit.

[00:57:18] True.

[00:57:18] I don't like any of it.

[00:57:20] No.

[00:57:20] Its share price at one time was $321.

[00:57:23] Oh, my God.

[00:57:23] Now it's under five.

[00:57:25] Oh, my God.

[00:57:30] They said there was a limited amount of people, which was a second problem.

[00:57:35] Their plans to use an anonymized version of the gathered DNA database for drug research

[00:57:45] took too long to become profitable because the drug development process takes so many years.

[00:57:51] That is corporate word selling.

[00:57:53] Yeah.

[00:57:53] Well.

[00:57:54] Yep.

[00:57:55] They were going to use it for drug research, people's DNA, but it takes so long they're not

[00:58:00] going to buy any more.

[00:58:01] They haven't even used what they got because they're behind.

[00:58:04] True.

[00:58:05] True.

[00:58:08] Isn't there another one besides 23andMe?

[00:58:10] Isn't there another one of these?

[00:58:12] Ancestry.

[00:58:13] Ancestry.

[00:58:14] Yeah.

[00:58:16] Well, I'll keep you updated, termites, but I think this might bite.

[00:58:21] Yeah, this could bite the dust.

[00:58:22] And I don't know what happens to all this information.

[00:58:26] Well, you don't want it out there.

[00:58:28] I mean, what if you have some genetic condition you would prefer to not have your doctor know

[00:58:34] about?

[00:58:35] Like, it's a one in a million thing.

[00:58:37] You don't want your insurance company to know because then they're going to charge you

[00:58:40] out the ass.

[00:58:40] Like, and it's really probably not going to happen.

[00:58:43] So you don't really feel like you're lying.

[00:58:45] Kind of.

[00:58:47] Kind of.

[00:58:48] Moving on.

[00:58:49] Here's one.

[00:58:50] It's not really lying.

[00:58:53] Here's one for Gen Z.

[00:58:55] Burnt out Gen Z employees miss one day of work each week due to mental health.

[00:59:04] That is a loose definition.

[00:59:05] Now, this does not include all of the children.

[00:59:09] Some of the children in my life work harder than I would have ever expected anyone to work.

[00:59:13] My publicist, Katie, I thought was like 55 years old.

[00:59:15] She's 31.

[00:59:18] She works.

[00:59:19] Nobody's as thorough.

[00:59:20] Nobody's as detailed.

[00:59:22] There are kids out there working their ass off.

[00:59:25] But there's a lot that have been taught.

[00:59:28] Clearly, all of the people my age at my agency are afraid of the assistance because guess what?

[00:59:38] The children know they'll go straight to human resources and you can't say anything to them

[00:59:42] or they'll just go, I'm just going to go down to HR and report that.

[00:59:45] Like I don't even think I ever went into a human.

[00:59:48] I was terrified of that place.

[00:59:49] I'm like, I'm not going to.

[00:59:50] Why would I go to human resources?

[00:59:52] Like that was something we were terrified of.

[00:59:55] That's hilarious.

[00:59:57] Yeah.

[00:59:57] Anyway, Gen Z is missing the equivalent of one workday every week due to their mental health.

[01:00:02] The health and life insurance company Vitality found that Gen Z employees in the UK

[01:00:07] reportedly lose an average of 54 productive days here.

[01:00:11] 54.

[01:00:12] Holy shit.

[01:00:13] That's a month and a half.

[01:00:15] They're clocking into work, but they don't operate at peak efficiency.

[01:00:18] Well, I never did either.

[01:00:20] I don't operate at peak efficiency at anything until at least 10 a.m.

[01:00:24] I can be awake and doing things.

[01:00:26] I can fly.

[01:00:27] I can travel.

[01:00:29] I can golf because I don't think about golf.

[01:00:32] I just go hit ball.

[01:00:33] Like it's a remote muscle memory.

[01:00:35] The cause, the company was found mental health struggles.

[01:00:38] This is a picture of a girl.

[01:00:40] She's so sad.

[01:00:40] She's laying her head on a computer.

[01:00:44] I'm not making fun of mental health.

[01:00:46] It's just, it's funny to me that we never.

[01:00:48] It's definitions.

[01:00:49] And we would have never had the opportunity.

[01:00:52] If I would have walked into human resources at my day job out of college and said, I don't

[01:00:57] feel good and I'm sad and tired.

[01:00:59] They'd be like, right.

[01:01:00] Everybody fucking in this place feels that way, Kathleen.

[01:01:03] Is there anything else you have?

[01:01:05] No.

[01:01:06] No.

[01:01:06] Just thought I'd let somebody know.

[01:01:08] Across the board, non-productive or missed days of work have cost the UK more than $178 billion.

[01:01:14] In the U.S., dissatisfied and detached workers cost the world an estimated $8.8 trillion.

[01:01:21] Oh, my God.

[01:01:22] Only a quarter of the workers surveyed said they took advantage of the company's wellness resources.

[01:01:27] Another thing that did not exist when we were this age.

[01:01:30] What's a wellness resource?

[01:01:33] I mean, I know what they are now.

[01:01:34] Right.

[01:01:34] But we would have never.

[01:01:36] No.

[01:01:36] If health at work is properly managed, business in the wider economy can understand significantly.

[01:01:42] In the U.S., Gen Z employees who have been previously found to be more likely to ditch work for a mental health day,

[01:01:48] and the young workers also take more sick days in past generations.

[01:01:51] This generation is more tuned into their mental health needs,

[01:01:54] and they're also facing more stressors than any previous generation.

[01:01:59] Really?

[01:02:00] How about the people working in factories in World War II?

[01:02:03] Yeah.

[01:02:03] Meh.

[01:02:04] How about the people working in coal mines?

[01:02:06] Yeah.

[01:02:07] I think there's some people that...

[01:02:09] Black lung.

[01:02:10] Yeah.

[01:02:10] Yeah.

[01:02:10] They're likely to miss more work because they've been conditioned to recognize and prioritize mental well-being,

[01:02:15] even if it means taking time off, something older generations were less inclined or able to do.

[01:02:21] Okay.

[01:02:21] Yeah.

[01:02:23] I don't...

[01:02:23] I mean, I think it's good...

[01:02:26] I think if everyone...

[01:02:27] It's good that they're aware.

[01:02:28] It's good that they're aware, and it's good that they have resources,

[01:02:30] and I do agree with them, with the children, and the Gen...

[01:02:36] Is it Z or X is Z?

[01:02:38] I'm X.

[01:02:39] There's Z.

[01:02:40] Right?

[01:02:41] I think.

[01:02:41] I think you're actually A.

[01:02:44] I think you're the first generation.

[01:02:45] Generation, no letter.

[01:02:47] I don't think...

[01:02:49] I've always thought it was stupid.

[01:02:50] I did have a real job doing a magazine out of college for about a year, maybe a year and a half.

[01:02:56] Maybe we probably didn't make it a year and a half.

[01:02:58] I do not do...

[01:03:01] My brain doesn't really work from...

[01:03:04] If I get there at 8, at 10, the day really starts.

[01:03:07] But I would have been willing to stay 10 to 7.

[01:03:10] Right.

[01:03:11] Why...

[01:03:11] If people know themselves and go, you know what?

[01:03:15] I am super on fire between like 10, 3, then a tiny nap if there's just a nap room.

[01:03:21] Like a 30-minute nap.

[01:03:23] I come out roaring.

[01:03:24] Roaring.

[01:03:25] That's a comedy nap.

[01:03:26] I wouldn't need that if I had a day job.

[01:03:28] If they would listen, it would also help traffic and go, okay, who are the 10 o'clock people?

[01:03:34] We're all at Kathleen's group over there.

[01:03:36] You guys don't have to be at work till 10.

[01:03:38] There are people...

[01:03:39] My one sister is up at 5 every fucking day.

[01:03:42] Yep.

[01:03:42] Beyond me.

[01:03:43] Likes to get up early.

[01:03:45] Dolly, you could go in Dolly's group.

[01:03:46] Right.

[01:03:46] The 3 a.m. to 5 a.m.ers.

[01:03:48] You guys, boom, it would help traffic.

[01:03:50] Yes.

[01:03:51] The world wouldn't fall apart from two-hour increments.

[01:03:54] Parking.

[01:03:54] We always have good parking.

[01:03:55] Yes.

[01:03:56] Listen to the children.

[01:03:57] Yes.

[01:03:59] Moving on.

[01:04:00] Let them run for office.

[01:04:04] This is great news.

[01:04:06] Two great newses.

[01:04:07] And then I got...

[01:04:08] Well, here's something.

[01:04:09] This is where someone has listened to the children.

[01:04:12] It connects to the other one.

[01:04:15] Iceland.

[01:04:15] They embraced a shorter work week.

[01:04:17] Here's how it turned out.

[01:04:19] Iceland's economy is outperforming most European peers after the nationwide introduction of a shorter work week with no less in pay.

[01:04:26] Boom!

[01:04:26] That's what we're looking for.

[01:04:27] Perfect.

[01:04:28] Make everybody so much happier.

[01:04:30] Every day is a three-day weekend.

[01:04:32] Yep.

[01:04:32] I don't care about 100% level of productivity.

[01:04:36] We're good.

[01:04:38] Everybody relax.

[01:04:39] Mm-hmm.

[01:04:39] Like, we don't have to be...

[01:04:40] This is why I can never run for president, though.

[01:04:42] No.

[01:04:43] We don't need to be number one.

[01:04:45] Let's be number six.

[01:04:45] This is how my TED Talks are going to go.

[01:04:47] Let's shoot for six and lay in the middle like a comfortable dog in the grass watching the world go by.

[01:04:52] We don't need to be that...

[01:04:54] You don't need to be that hound chasing that rabbit.

[01:04:56] Let that rabbit come to you and let him lay right by you and then, boom, snap his head off.

[01:05:00] Oh, God.

[01:05:01] Between 2020 and 2022, 51% of workers in the country had accepted the offer of shorter working hours, including a four-day week two think tanks found, saying the figures like to be even higher today.

[01:05:13] Last year, Iceland logged in the fastest economic growth more than most European countries, and its unemployment rate is one of the lowest in Europe.

[01:05:21] Noted, the Autonomy Institute in the United Kingdoms, and blah, blah, blah, blah.

[01:05:25] The study shows a real success story.

[01:05:27] Shorter working hours have become widespread in Iceland, and the economy is a strong number of indicators.

[01:05:34] Also, if you let people choose what day, you're really going to help traffic.

[01:05:39] Yeah.

[01:05:40] You're off Wednesday.

[01:05:41] Don't make it Friday for everybody.

[01:05:42] Friday, 7th.

[01:05:43] Right.

[01:05:43] Yeah.

[01:05:44] Let the office be open Monday through Friday, and whoever shows up, shows up, but you get your extra off day.

[01:05:48] That's great.

[01:05:49] I'm just...

[01:05:50] Really?

[01:05:50] I'll vote for you.

[01:05:52] Trimming this plan down.

[01:05:53] No problem.

[01:05:54] The trial involved 2,500 people, more than 1% of Iceland's working population at the time,

[01:05:58] and was aimed at maintaining or increasing productivity while improving work-life balance.

[01:06:02] Researchers said that productivity stayed the same or improved while workers' well-being increased dramatically

[01:06:08] on the range of measures from perceived stress to burnout to health to work-life balance.

[01:06:13] Cool.

[01:06:13] It's been wonderful.

[01:06:15] I love it.

[01:06:15] So there you go.

[01:06:16] Listen to the children.

[01:06:17] I like it.

[01:06:17] If they're at their desk and their head is on their computer keyboard and they look sad,

[01:06:21] go over and speak to them and say, listen, Holly, would you like Thursdays off?

[01:06:27] Huh?

[01:06:28] Will that make you feel good?

[01:06:29] How about Tuesdays?

[01:06:30] Yes.

[01:06:30] How about Mondays?

[01:06:32] Here's some other good news.

[01:06:34] Oh, oh, Wisconsin.

[01:06:37] One of my favorite beers in the whole world is Spotted Cow.

[01:06:39] Wow.

[01:06:39] Yes.

[01:06:40] I think I've talked about it probably a lot on here.

[01:06:42] It's great.

[01:06:43] The new Glarus Brewery, which is totally fun to go to, I've been, is breaking ground on a $55 million edition.

[01:06:50] Yeah!

[01:06:50] Yeah!

[01:06:51] So if you want to get on out there, 65,000 square foot, $55 million edition as its main office.

[01:06:59] I just think the whole campus is great.

[01:07:02] They're going to have more parking.

[01:07:05] It's just wonderful breaking news.

[01:07:07] Everybody's happy.

[01:07:08] So if, yeah, you cannot be not happy at the Spotted Cow Brewery.

[01:07:12] It's new Glarus.

[01:07:12] They make other beers too, but.

[01:07:14] You can't be unhappy in Wisconsin.

[01:07:17] No.

[01:07:18] No.

[01:07:18] Not with that cheese.

[01:07:19] You can't be unhappy.

[01:07:20] That's very exciting.

[01:07:22] World's largest pickleball facility to open in where?

[01:07:27] Detroit.

[01:07:28] No.

[01:07:29] It's got to be Florida.

[01:07:30] No.

[01:07:31] No?

[01:07:32] Scottsdale, Arizona.

[01:07:34] Nice.

[01:07:35] Mm-hmm.

[01:07:35] Nice.

[01:07:36] You're going to play a show?

[01:07:38] I am.

[01:07:39] I'm going to tell my friend Peter Casas to get going on this.

[01:07:41] Mm-hmm.

[01:07:42] Peter, Sandy, let's get you out there.

[01:07:46] It's going to open in 2026 for ever changing the Scottsdale pickleball landscape.

[01:07:51] Pure pickleball and paddle.

[01:07:52] It's called Pure Pickleball and Paddle.

[01:07:53] It will be part of the larger Riverwalk development.

[01:07:56] It will span more than a lake at a lot of acres and include more than 50 indoor and outdoor

[01:08:00] champion courts.

[01:08:01] 50.

[01:08:02] That's amazing.

[01:08:03] It's a championship court, a pro shop, and entertainment facilities.

[01:08:06] Cool.

[01:08:07] Yeah.

[01:08:07] It looks crazy fantastic.

[01:08:10] You love it, don't you?

[01:08:11] I do love it.

[01:08:12] I'm playing tonight at 5 o'clock.

[01:08:14] We adjusted our time.

[01:08:14] It doesn't really matter.

[01:08:15] There's lights up there.

[01:08:16] It could be any time, but 5 o'clock because I want to be able to watch 1-8 football.

[01:08:21] See you when you're best.

[01:08:22] So that starts at 7.

[01:08:23] Mm-hmm.

[01:08:26] Okay, I got two feel-good stories.

[01:08:28] Okay.

[01:08:29] Let's save these.

[01:08:30] Whoops.

[01:08:34] This is great.

[01:08:36] So there's an NHL owner of the Tampa Bay Lightning.

[01:08:39] Okay.

[01:08:40] His name is Jeff Vinnick.

[01:08:42] Wonderful team.

[01:08:43] He's giving his employees $20 million in bonuses.

[01:08:48] What?

[01:08:48] Yep.

[01:08:49] Oh, fantastic.

[01:08:49] He's giving $50,000 to each of his 300 employees.

[01:08:53] That's awesome.

[01:08:54] Because he sold the majority stake in his NHL team, which valued at $1.8 billion.

[01:08:59] Wow.

[01:08:59] Did I say NHL?

[01:09:01] Not NFL.

[01:09:01] NHL.

[01:09:02] Following the move, they said that he was giving these bonuses out to everybody at work.

[01:09:08] Now, how great would that be if somebody just dropped $50,000 in your paycheck?

[01:09:12] That's fantastic.

[01:09:13] Here's another feel-good.

[01:09:14] Why?

[01:09:15] Why?

[01:09:16] Yeah.

[01:09:17] Well, because he sold his part and it was a thank you.

[01:09:19] Nice.

[01:09:19] Yeah.

[01:09:20] He gets a billion.

[01:09:21] Yeah.

[01:09:22] So.

[01:09:22] True.

[01:09:23] You know.

[01:09:23] He's a good human.

[01:09:24] He's a good person because a lot of people wouldn't do it even if they could do it.

[01:09:27] Right.

[01:09:27] But people don't understand the joy in being.

[01:09:29] I love over-tipping.

[01:09:31] It makes me so happy because I knew it would change my night when I waited tables if somebody

[01:09:35] over-tipped.

[01:09:36] And it made up for all the shitty people that don't tip.

[01:09:39] That made me a 20%.

[01:09:41] Shut up.

[01:09:43] This is a feel-good story.

[01:09:44] Eric Church, the country singer.

[01:09:46] He has announced that he's going to build 100 houses.

[01:09:51] He's from eastern...

[01:09:53] Tennessee.

[01:09:54] North Carolina.

[01:09:56] North Carolina.

[01:09:56] Well, western North Carolina, eastern Tennessee.

[01:09:59] He's going to build 100 homes in Avery County and the surrounding area through an initiative

[01:10:03] called Blueprint for the Blue Ridge, North Carolina.

[01:10:06] We want to be here for a long haul.

[01:10:08] Long haul.

[01:10:09] They're going to build 100 homes.

[01:10:12] They're also going to...

[01:10:13] Hopefully, this will create jobs to rebuild everything.

[01:10:15] He's been there like every day.

[01:10:17] That's awesome.

[01:10:17] I know because people always go, oh, these celebrities float in, float out.

[01:10:20] No.

[01:10:20] He's a good dude.

[01:10:21] He's a good man.

[01:10:27] That's just pretty much...

[01:10:28] Luke Combs is there with him.

[01:10:29] The other country singer who I love.

[01:10:31] Oh, super human.

[01:10:32] Yeah, he's a good...

[01:10:33] He's a...

[01:10:33] Well, they had a giant concert.

[01:10:35] Everybody was there.

[01:10:36] They got James Taylor to come and sing.

[01:10:37] So great.

[01:10:38] Yeah.

[01:10:38] Yeah.

[01:10:41] Oh, it was...

[01:10:42] They had a giant concert.

[01:10:43] It was like a six and a half hour long concert.

[01:10:45] Cool.

[01:10:46] Yeah, it didn't stop.

[01:10:47] And all the proceeds went to the people.

[01:10:49] To the pupils.

[01:10:50] To the pupils.

[01:10:51] Okay.

[01:10:51] This week I've chosen we're going to do Dolly and Snoop.

[01:10:54] Great.

[01:10:55] All right.

[01:10:55] For 200.

[01:10:57] Dolly for 200.

[01:11:03] Chappels.

[01:11:03] Chappels had a lot of activity.

[01:11:05] Yeah.

[01:11:08] We got to get a better cut out of her.

[01:11:09] We need to get her a candle.

[01:11:11] Oh, so many things.

[01:11:14] I'm trying to find a good one.

[01:11:19] Hmm.

[01:11:20] No?

[01:11:21] Yeah.

[01:11:21] I don't know.

[01:11:22] Hold it.

[01:11:22] Give me a second.

[01:11:23] Bear with me, termites.

[01:11:24] See, I have earmarked them, but I should have put X's through, meaning I already read it.

[01:11:32] Okay.

[01:11:33] Well, this one's kind of good.

[01:11:34] This will get you motivated.

[01:11:35] All right.

[01:11:35] This is discussing her looks in an interview with Southern Living.

[01:11:39] To me, when I talk about not being a natural beauty, I'm not.

[01:11:43] Trust me when I say, in the mornings, I got to get up and paint on stuff.

[01:11:47] Those people who wake up and they're just beautiful, they're just born that way.

[01:11:51] Well, that ain't me.

[01:11:52] I got to work for everything I got.

[01:11:55] Okay.

[01:11:56] That'll get you motivated.

[01:11:57] Yeah.

[01:11:58] Martha Stewart said the same thing.

[01:11:59] Took her, takes her five minutes to put on her makeup.

[01:12:02] Everybody should do it.

[01:12:03] But I'm like, oh, here she goes.

[01:12:04] She's already needling me again.

[01:12:06] She started making me feel like I'm less than.

[01:12:08] I'm just going to Kroger to get party balloons.

[01:12:11] Do I really got to put on some sort of lipglow?

[01:12:21] Snoop on the Crips, his former LA gang, interview 2016.

[01:12:26] They thought Crippin was bad.

[01:12:28] I taught them that Crippin was fashionable.

[01:12:30] Whoa.

[01:12:31] Whoa.

[01:12:32] Well done.

[01:12:34] All right, Terwites.

[01:12:36] Everybody wants a fantasy update?

[01:12:38] A fantasy update.

[01:12:39] There's a lot of injured people.

[01:12:41] It's just going to be whoever got lucky and drafted people.

[01:12:44] Who's the quarterback?

[01:12:46] Well, I have Patrick Mahomes because I always get him.

[01:12:51] And CJ Stroud, who's going to suck now because Stefan Diggs is out.

[01:12:55] And then in a different league, I have Jeff Goff for the Lions, and he's great.

[01:13:00] Jared.

[01:13:00] Jared.

[01:13:01] I'm sorry.

[01:13:01] I keep confusing with the other one.

[01:13:03] You're close to him.

[01:13:03] You're 12.

[01:13:04] Yeah.

[01:13:05] Jeff's his nickname.

[01:13:06] At least in my league, he's named Jeff.

[01:13:10] The Lions are great.

[01:13:11] I'm really kind of rooting for the Lions to go all the way and get the whole thing.

[01:13:15] The Cowboys, Stephen A. Smith.

[01:13:17] I mean, I love Stephen A. Smith's hatred of the Cowboys organization.

[01:13:21] It's not the fans.

[01:13:23] But Jerry Jones just doesn't get it.

[01:13:26] And Stephen just turns around in his chair with his cowboy hat on and goes, howdy?

[01:13:31] And then he just starts going into it.

[01:13:34] And the Cowboys lost again.

[01:13:35] It was terrible.

[01:13:36] I mean, just terrible.

[01:13:38] And now Dak is hurt.

[01:13:39] His leg.

[01:13:40] And maybe CeeDee Lamb, who I believe you said you have.

[01:13:45] I do.

[01:13:45] Well, getting an MRI on his shoulder.

[01:13:47] There goes one of your receivers.

[01:13:49] Boom.

[01:13:49] Yep.

[01:13:50] Yep.

[01:13:52] I'm going to teach you guys.

[01:13:53] I'm going to make tiny little TED Talks.

[01:13:55] We're going to do one about parley bets.

[01:13:57] I'm going to start there.

[01:13:58] It's very easy.

[01:13:59] Your friend Laura didn't know.

[01:14:00] My friend Laura did not know and kind of wanted to know, although I don't know.

[01:14:04] Then we got into horse betting, and I'm like, that's a whole different TED Talk.

[01:14:07] I can't do all this in one day.

[01:14:09] I could teach you tiny little things, but it'll set you on your way on DraftKings, and that's

[01:14:13] what I'm about.

[01:14:14] Let's get gambling.

[01:14:15] Let's get drinking.

[01:14:16] You know, I'll have guests to talk about edibles.

[01:14:19] I don't know anything about all that, and I find it very confusing.

[01:14:22] And then I drift out, and it's boring, and I'm like, I don't really care.

[01:14:25] You can't use Ron these two seasons.

[01:14:27] Ron's, no, you can't.

[01:14:28] It's like listening to Snoop.

[01:14:30] What a good weed.

[01:14:30] Oh, stop.

[01:14:31] Christ, I'll die.

[01:14:32] I'll be in an emergency room going, I'm too hyper.

[01:14:35] My heart rate's going crazy.

[01:14:36] Am I dying?

[01:14:37] What's happening?

[01:14:38] Lorene could do it.

[01:14:39] Yeah, maybe Lorene.

[01:14:40] She's a normal level-headed person, or my friend Kelly.

[01:14:45] Yeah.

[01:14:46] I don't know.

[01:14:47] So I'm going to do a TED Talk at some point when I have time to teach you how to gamble.

[01:14:51] Nice.

[01:14:52] Yeah.

[01:14:52] We'll start with a parlay.

[01:14:54] But you have to be in a state that has DraftKings or one of the other ones.

[01:14:59] Or you have to get to a cell tower.

[01:15:00] Or you're going to have to drive to your state boundary like people in Missouri have to do.

[01:15:04] They have to drive over to the Illinois cell towers and then lie and act like they're there

[01:15:09] because the app will know, FanDuel will know if you're still, I know.

[01:15:14] Mattress Mac has to drive in Houston to go to the Louisiana line.

[01:15:18] It's so, like Missouri.

[01:15:20] Weed?

[01:15:20] Legal.

[01:15:21] Gambling on your phone?

[01:15:22] No.

[01:15:23] So you can be as high as you want, but we don't want you gambling.

[01:15:25] Right.

[01:15:26] Tennessee?

[01:15:27] Weed?

[01:15:27] No.

[01:15:29] Gambling?

[01:15:30] Yes.

[01:15:30] Yes.

[01:15:30] So you can gamble, but we don't want you high while you're doing it.

[01:15:33] Right.

[01:15:34] Stupid.

[01:15:34] But they never would put the two and two together, the people making these laws.

[01:15:38] One's got nothing to do with the other.

[01:15:40] Zero.

[01:15:41] And I cannot believe DraftKings, who has a sports bar in downtown Nashville, and so does Barstool

[01:15:45] Sports, so do all these, how they have not gotten the laws passed.

[01:15:50] I mean, like in Missouri, like, why, what is the matter with gambling on the phone?

[01:15:56] It's in states surrounding you, so if there's a money deal to be made, you're just losing

[01:16:01] the money.

[01:16:01] It's the same way with the casinos.

[01:16:04] Ah, boy.

[01:16:05] I don't know.

[01:16:07] At some point, I'm just going to have to run for it.

[01:16:08] Good luck at the election for whoever you want to win.

[01:16:11] But I go on election day.

[01:16:13] I like to see the hoopla.

[01:16:14] I like to see what's going on.

[01:16:17] And so I did not early vote.

[01:16:20] Okay.

[01:16:20] And they changed my place again.

[01:16:22] I put a joke on TikTok.

[01:16:24] Now it's a middle school.

[01:16:26] It's so crazy.

[01:16:26] Before that, it was the library.

[01:16:28] And before that, it was a Baptist church right up the road.

[01:16:33] But they're all different elections.

[01:16:35] But again, I just don't understand if we can do banking on our phone and we trust that I pay

[01:16:43] my mortgage on my phone.

[01:16:45] All of my money is attached online.

[01:16:49] How come we can't secure voting?

[01:16:51] Not burner phones.

[01:16:53] It has to be a real phone.

[01:16:54] You know, I just think it's archaic.

[01:16:58] I wonder if other countries have better ways.

[01:17:00] Maybe I'll look that up.

[01:17:02] Sitting here.

[01:17:04] All right.

[01:17:05] That's it.

[01:17:05] Are you guys ready?

[01:17:06] Oh, I didn't taste the cake.

[01:17:08] Let's see.

[01:17:09] Grocery cakes.

[01:17:10] Grocery store cake.

[01:17:11] The best.

[01:17:12] Every single time.

[01:17:14] Can't beat it.

[01:17:18] It's great.

[01:17:19] It's $5.

[01:17:20] It's like Sara Lee icing.

[01:17:21] The whole thing's $5.

[01:17:22] If you serve that at some rich ass party.

[01:17:24] Yeah.

[01:17:24] But just put like a little straw, like a tiny berry on it.

[01:17:28] Nobody would know.

[01:17:29] No, I don't.

[01:17:30] And they'd all eat it and like it.

[01:17:31] You'd have to get rid of the confetti.

[01:17:33] No, I think that's what makes it really something special is the confetti.

[01:17:38] It's actually really good.

[01:17:39] Grocery store cake, winner every time.

[01:17:41] Mm-hmm.

[01:17:42] Fantastic.

[01:17:43] Chocolate on chocolate, hard to find too.

[01:17:45] They usually go white.

[01:17:47] Mm-hmm.

[01:17:47] Which is great.

[01:17:49] A lot of eating in the sauce.

[01:17:56] I'm going to make my holiday videos of delicious Midwest appetizers.

[01:18:01] They're not just the Midwest, but that's where I tend to find them the most versus, let's say, a healthy state like California.

[01:18:09] I don't find as much of the good Midwest.

[01:18:12] All carbs, all the time.

[01:18:13] All the time.

[01:18:14] Gluten-free?

[01:18:15] We'll try to make a version of it.

[01:18:16] But my sister's in charge of that, and usually you take a bite and go, yeah.

[01:18:21] Mm-hmm.

[01:18:22] Nobody wants it.

[01:18:23] Just you.

[01:18:24] Yeah.

[01:18:25] But she can't.

[01:18:26] She gets very sick if she eats it.

[01:18:27] For real.

[01:18:28] Like, I'm like, are you really one of these people that are going to say that?

[01:18:31] For real.

[01:18:32] She's like, no.

[01:18:34] She really does have an allergy to it.

[01:18:36] All right, termites.

[01:18:37] That's it.

[01:18:38] You behave yourselves.

[01:18:39] Night-night termites.

[01:18:40] We will see you next week for sure.

[01:18:44] Happy election.

[01:18:46] I hope the country doesn't burn down by the next time we speak.
