Episode 204: Christmas Tree Flocking, Pickleball Theaters, & Mexico’s Copycat Buc-ee’s

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

[00:00:24] Termites! Welcome. Welcome to the Christmas season. Hello. Yeah, Thanksgiving is over.

[00:00:30] My mom's birthday is December 1st. That officially kicks off the Christmas season. Welcome. Queen Stevie says welcome. Stevie's been quiet. There's nothing to say about Stevie, though.

[00:00:41] Maybe she finally went home wherever she lives. In a private jet somewhere.

[00:00:48] Introducing, I have to find out who sent this. Hang on. Termites Lori and Paula took Baby Cat's picture and made a prayer candle out of it.

[00:01:01] And I think Baby Cat is a shepherd. A holy shepherd. So we're gonna like that. It's so cute.

[00:01:09] I didn't know you could do all these things. Is that me? I use balls.

[00:01:12] It's called Etsy.

[00:01:14] Etsy? Is that who's doing all that? I don't really go on there very often.

[00:01:17] No.

[00:01:17] No. I don't think of it. I don't think of Pinterest either.

[00:01:21] No.

[00:01:21] Now I know. And my one sister-in-law, that's all. She loves it.

[00:01:26] What are we drinking? Well, seasonal. I told you guys last year, maybe you missed out on it.

[00:01:31] It's so good.

[00:01:32] It's so good.

[00:01:32] Go get yourself some Evan Williams eggnog. It's just the best. It's very fattening. And there's a lot of alcohol in it.

[00:01:39] A lot of alcohol.

[00:01:39] Yeah. But it's Christmas time. The holidays. For my Jewish friends too.

[00:01:45] Yeah.

[00:01:47] Do you know the Jewish people I can't know?

[00:01:49] Yeah. Lewis will drink anything. Well, Lewis will drink anything really. But this is...

[00:01:54] He'll say it's too sweet. But then I'll drink everything I pour.

[00:01:57] So let me just set this down here because it's giant.

[00:01:59] Yeah.

[00:02:00] And then you get yourself a little nutmeg and pour it on top. That's right.

[00:02:04] Nutmeg.

[00:02:04] This is the season for nutmeg.

[00:02:06] Nutmeg's hard to find after Thanksgiving.

[00:02:08] All the freaks went and bought it all. I couldn't find it.

[00:02:11] What food are we trying? We're going to try some Haribo sweet and sour reindeer.

[00:02:16] Let's see if I can... I already opened this so I don't bother you guys with that noise.

[00:02:20] This is terrible. I know.

[00:02:21] Oh!

[00:02:22] Oh, they're little tiny reindeers. But see, these don't look like...

[00:02:26] No.

[00:02:27] They're not.

[00:02:28] Whoa.

[00:02:29] Yeah, they're really hard to...

[00:02:32] Yeah.

[00:02:34] Hmm.

[00:02:35] They're okay.

[00:02:36] Yeah.

[00:02:37] But the roboats are better.

[00:02:38] Okay.

[00:02:39] Yeah.

[00:02:39] Did you know that Granada is the island of spice?

[00:02:43] No.

[00:02:43] And it's the nutmeg capital of the world.

[00:02:45] The nutmeg capital of the world is the island of Granada?

[00:02:47] Uh-huh.

[00:02:48] In Spain or the one in South America?

[00:02:50] South America.

[00:02:50] In the Caribbean Sea.

[00:02:51] In the Caribbean Sea, darling. Yes.

[00:02:54] I did not know where one would get nutmeg.

[00:02:57] I thought it was...

[00:02:58] I thought we identified that as like Connecticut or somewhere.

[00:03:00] Remember?

[00:03:01] Well, I said the world.

[00:03:05] The United States.

[00:03:06] Remember?

[00:03:07] Mm-hmm.

[00:03:07] Driving through it?

[00:03:10] Connecticut's the nutmeg state.

[00:03:11] It's Connecticut.

[00:03:12] Mm-hmm.

[00:03:12] Yeah.

[00:03:12] Look at me getting my game show question right.

[00:03:14] Boom!

[00:03:14] How about some Pringles Mingles White Cheddar Ranch from Termite Mike?

[00:03:19] All right.

[00:03:19] I'll try a Pringle Mingle.

[00:03:20] I like a Pringle.

[00:03:22] Nice.

[00:03:22] Oh, these are those little bow tie things.

[00:03:24] I don't know.

[00:03:27] Oh!

[00:03:28] A-plus.

[00:03:30] Nice!

[00:03:30] Yeah.

[00:03:31] A-plus.

[00:03:31] Sharp white cheddar and ranch.

[00:03:34] Cool.

[00:03:34] Really good.

[00:03:36] Nice!

[00:03:36] I've never even seen this bag.

[00:03:38] Ever.

[00:03:39] I've never seen this.

[00:03:40] I wonder where you got these.

[00:03:42] Really good.

[00:03:43] A-plus, Mike.

[00:03:45] I'm keeping those.

[00:03:46] They'll stay right here.

[00:03:48] Now, the last thing, lesser evil chocolate candy cane popcorn.

[00:03:53] This is driving this crazy.

[00:03:55] Montana termite.

[00:03:56] Oh, Caitlin.

[00:03:57] What's that?

[00:03:58] I bet those people in Montana are irritated by the show Yellowstone.

[00:04:02] Probably.

[00:04:02] They probably think everybody thinks everybody's just shooting each other and killing people

[00:04:05] every Friday.

[00:04:06] And that everybody tries to turn into bed.

[00:04:07] Oh, my God!

[00:04:09] It's good.

[00:04:10] You like something with temperament in it?

[00:04:12] Well, you can't taste it.

[00:04:14] Yeah.

[00:04:14] You mostly taste chocolate.

[00:04:15] Okay.

[00:04:15] Chocolate candy cane popcorn.

[00:04:18] Wow!

[00:04:19] I did not see this coming.

[00:04:21] Cool.

[00:04:21] Yeah.

[00:04:22] I'm wondering if it's made in Montana.

[00:04:24] No.

[00:04:25] It's vegan.

[00:04:26] It's gluten free.

[00:04:27] Oh, my God.

[00:04:28] My sister would die.

[00:04:29] Everybody loves it.

[00:04:30] My sister got gluten at Thanksgiving.

[00:04:33] She did?

[00:04:34] Yeah, she came out of the bathroom and I was like, what the fuck is wrong with you?

[00:04:38] Her face was fire red but swollen.

[00:04:41] Her eyes look crossed.

[00:04:42] She's like, I think I had something.

[00:04:44] Like there are people that I know it's the thing, you know, I'm allergic to gluten but

[00:04:47] the ones that are, it is immediate and terrifying to witness.

[00:04:53] I was like, oh my God, when does this stop?

[00:04:56] I've never seen an episode.

[00:04:57] She'll complain about her stomach or whatever but I've never seen it.

[00:05:00] Like that's what happens if I sleep on sheets or towels with any formaldehyde in it.

[00:05:07] Instant, your eyes are swollen shut.

[00:05:09] Like it just, hers happened so fast.

[00:05:11] I was like, God damn, what did you eat?

[00:05:15] All right.

[00:05:16] That was all.

[00:05:17] Those were two out of three.

[00:05:19] Nice.

[00:05:19] Yeah.

[00:05:20] Outcoming shows.

[00:05:21] This weekend.

[00:05:22] Last weekend for you.

[00:05:24] I know this is the last weekend of 2024.

[00:05:26] Shippensburg and Ben Salem, PA were rounding it out.

[00:05:29] Cool.

[00:05:30] And then I had to look and see where Shippensburg was to see if that's where all that snow is.

[00:05:35] No.

[00:05:35] Are you going there?

[00:05:36] No.

[00:05:37] No, I don't think so.

[00:05:38] I'm not really sure.

[00:05:40] January 17th, Omaha.

[00:05:42] I think that's all sold out.

[00:05:44] Cedar Falls.

[00:05:44] We could use some ticket buyers in Cedar Falls.

[00:05:47] Just saying.

[00:05:48] I don't know why you hate me.

[00:05:49] What's the population in Cedar Falls?

[00:05:51] You hate me.

[00:05:53] It's fine.

[00:05:54] No, it's doing good, but it could do better.

[00:05:56] What's the population?

[00:05:57] I don't know.

[00:05:59] January 23rd.

[00:06:00] That's somebody said, please come into Spokane.

[00:06:01] Well, I am.

[00:06:02] Come on guys.

[00:06:03] Keep up.

[00:06:05] Scottsdale, Arizona, January 25th, January 31st, two shows in Huntington, New York.

[00:06:10] I love that gig.

[00:06:11] It's so fun.

[00:06:12] Everybody that works there, they always have hockey on in the back.

[00:06:15] They have really nice TVs.

[00:06:16] They buy you all these stupid little presents that are just fun and delicious.

[00:06:21] So Huntington, that's the Paramount.

[00:06:23] February 1st, Red Bank, New Jersey.

[00:06:25] Been a while since I've been back.

[00:06:26] That's a great gig.

[00:06:27] Everybody knows it.

[00:06:28] All comics know that.

[00:06:29] February 7th and 8th, Durham, North Carolina.

[00:06:32] Come on.

[00:06:33] Come on, barbecue.

[00:06:34] And then 2025, there's a million dates.

[00:06:38] And I'm currently booking the fall, too.

[00:06:41] So I don't know when all that will be announced.

[00:06:43] What are you doing?

[00:06:44] Two years from there.

[00:06:45] I know.

[00:06:46] I know.

[00:06:46] I know.

[00:06:47] And then I'll say, okay, well, I'll do Des Moines then with Kansas City.

[00:06:50] And then I can't even explain how these things get booked.

[00:06:55] It's too hard to explain to an average human being because it makes my head goddamn blow up.

[00:07:01] And then you find yourself with this schedule and you're like, did I agree to that?

[00:07:05] And I know I did.

[00:07:06] I'm sure I did.

[00:07:08] My agent, Heidi, is too on it for that to be an error.

[00:07:11] That is an error on my part.

[00:07:13] Population in Cedar Falls is 40,000 people.

[00:07:15] 40,000 people?

[00:07:16] Okay.

[00:07:17] Well, I need 2,000.

[00:07:18] Okay.

[00:07:19] 38 of you can stay home.

[00:07:22] Get on it.

[00:07:26] Did you turn out to have a nice Thanksgiving?

[00:07:28] I did.

[00:07:29] Did you?

[00:07:30] All right.

[00:07:31] Even though it's Canadian Thanksgiving, it's not really the same.

[00:07:33] I get to.

[00:07:36] I celebrate too.

[00:07:37] All right.

[00:07:38] That's fine.

[00:07:38] More holidays, the better.

[00:07:40] Thank you.

[00:07:40] I never could believe when senators were so racist or mean or cranky or whatever the hell they were to vote against any holiday.

[00:07:47] Right.

[00:07:48] I'll take any holiday.

[00:07:48] Yeah.

[00:07:49] And if it's about, if it's, if we're, you know, if it's about someone bad, just don't tell me.

[00:07:54] Right.

[00:07:54] I'll vote for it.

[00:07:55] Right.

[00:07:55] No problem.

[00:07:55] Change the name.

[00:07:56] Um, uh, Thanksgiving.

[00:07:59] My mom's fine.

[00:08:00] Everybody always asks.

[00:08:01] She's actually doing very good.

[00:08:03] Good.

[00:08:03] Um, she got one sign from my dad.

[00:08:05] Um, yeah.

[00:08:08] Well, she's was really pissed.

[00:08:09] It was a birthday and she hasn't gotten, she says that there's this hawk that follows her and the Yorkie on their walks.

[00:08:15] And she thinks it might be my dad.

[00:08:16] I'm like, or it could be a hawk that's going to eat your goddamn dog.

[00:08:20] And mom, you're shrinking at a rate that is really high space.

[00:08:24] It could, it might be thinking you.

[00:08:26] It's remarkable.

[00:08:27] Yeah.

[00:08:27] Anything under five foot.

[00:08:28] I think that hawk thinks it can take, but you know, maybe it is.

[00:08:31] But she was very mad and, uh, cause it was her birthday and she felt like she hasn't gotten a, aside from the hawk deal.

[00:08:38] Um, uh, I, she touched her phone or plugged it in to go to bed.

[00:08:42] I don't know.

[00:08:42] And they played their wedding song.

[00:08:44] What?

[00:08:44] Yeah.

[00:08:45] Wow.

[00:08:46] Yeah.

[00:08:47] Who knows?

[00:08:49] I don't know.

[00:08:50] I don't know their wedding song.

[00:08:51] I don't even know when their anniversary is.

[00:08:52] It's sometime in May.

[00:08:53] Okay.

[00:08:54] Yeah.

[00:08:55] I don't know.

[00:08:56] We're not like one of those sweet families.

[00:08:57] No, you're not.

[00:08:58] No, there's not a Hallmark card available that suits what I would say to my siblings.

[00:09:03] Not one.

[00:09:03] So I'm going to start my own line.

[00:09:05] I'm going to start my own line of Hallmark cards.

[00:09:07] They're just going to be called Madigan cards or some shit.

[00:09:10] Cause greeting cards are expensive.

[00:09:12] I could probably make a lot of money.

[00:09:13] Yeah.

[00:09:14] I think Foxworthy did it back in the day.

[00:09:16] Um, I posted a picture of the twins.

[00:09:18] They're 16.

[00:09:19] Now they are now designated drivers.

[00:09:20] What?

[00:09:21] What?

[00:09:21] What?

[00:09:22] All the adults we can get as shit faces we want.

[00:09:25] Yay.

[00:09:26] Um, are they good drivers?

[00:09:28] Are they good drivers?

[00:09:31] Well, I guess that would depend on your definition of good.

[00:09:35] As far as I'm concerned, if you're driving, you're a good driver.

[00:09:38] As far as I'm concerned.

[00:09:40] But like, you don't want to ride with my mom in the passenger seat.

[00:09:44] Everything is just hysterical and sudden and you're like, wow, like what?

[00:09:49] What?

[00:09:50] Now you got me slamming on the brakes and there's nothing.

[00:09:52] You were so close to that car.

[00:09:55] Oh, fuck.

[00:09:55] I am mom.

[00:09:56] It's a half a mile up there.

[00:09:58] It's got hazards on cause it's another old person.

[00:10:00] They've been driving with their hazards for two miles.

[00:10:03] Stop it.

[00:10:04] Don't park here.

[00:10:05] Yeah.

[00:10:06] Go over there.

[00:10:07] Boom.

[00:10:08] You're the, no, there's, there's no cars over here.

[00:10:11] Well, there could be, there will be when we come out.

[00:10:13] Mm-hmm.

[00:10:14] That's the kind of shit.

[00:10:15] It's just regular, normal, old people things, but very much an alarmist.

[00:10:20] Good times.

[00:10:20] Yeah.

[00:10:21] Happy holidays.

[00:10:21] Um, and then, um, so, uh, this is inside track for only termite listeners.

[00:10:29] Like I never had a lot of my standup chopped up for Tik TOK and all this stuff.

[00:10:34] So I spent a lot of time this summer and then, um, gave it to the guys to chop it all

[00:10:39] up to post it on Tik TOK.

[00:10:41] Cause I was like, you know, none of my stuff has my actual standup on it.

[00:10:44] And that is what I kind of do for a living.

[00:10:46] I should probably do that.

[00:10:48] Yeah.

[00:10:48] I'm just making videos of here's the cat opening the advent calendar.

[00:10:52] But I think that's the stuff I like.

[00:10:53] Yeah.

[00:10:54] Look, here's me catching the smallest mass in the world.

[00:10:56] So I want to mix it up like that.

[00:10:58] Well, I have a special, it is now gone back to the top of the line on Netflix called bothering

[00:11:05] Jesus, which was released in 2016.

[00:11:08] Can't do the math on that.

[00:11:09] I think that's eight years ago.

[00:11:11] And then the other ones on Amazon a couple of years ago.

[00:11:14] And I have a joke about Catholics being Christian or not.

[00:11:19] And especially in the South, especially in the South.

[00:11:22] Yeah.

[00:11:22] Well, at least they're, they're more vocal about it.

[00:11:24] Well, it's the way they say it where I go, Oh, they go, are you Christian?

[00:11:28] And I go, Oh, I'm Catholic.

[00:11:29] They're like, well, we're Christian.

[00:11:31] It's just a very subtle.

[00:11:33] You're not Christian.

[00:11:35] They don't just go, well, you're not.

[00:11:37] Right.

[00:11:37] Well, I started a holy war on.

[00:11:40] And I, and it's not even on Tik TOK because here's the thing.

[00:11:44] This would be interesting for non entertainer people.

[00:11:47] If you don't, if you don't own it, like I don't own the rights right now to bother Jesus.

[00:11:54] Netflix does for a period of time.

[00:11:56] Not everybody's deals are the same.

[00:11:58] I leased it for 10 years.

[00:11:59] It's like a car.

[00:12:00] It's their car for right now.

[00:12:01] Then it becomes my car again.

[00:12:02] Well, it won't let you post it on Tik TOK.

[00:12:05] That's up to the owner.

[00:12:06] Fair enough.

[00:12:07] It does let me post it on everything else.

[00:12:10] So I don't even know.

[00:12:12] Maybe I didn't want this.

[00:12:13] I have never seen anything.

[00:12:18] Even if I wanted to respond to the comments and Instagram, and, and it's just, and here's

[00:12:24] the thing.

[00:12:26] Oh, there was infighting.

[00:12:27] Then the Muslims jumped in and then the, a couple of Jewish people threw down the hammer.

[00:12:31] They're like, you're all wrong.

[00:12:32] And I'm like, that's right.

[00:12:34] Let's go.

[00:12:35] Let's go.

[00:12:35] Let's go old, old, old school, old Testament.

[00:12:37] Let's go Judaism.

[00:12:37] That's better than this Christian infighting.

[00:12:41] But here's the thing about the fighting.

[00:12:42] That's always amused me.

[00:12:43] And like, I'm not responding to any of this shit.

[00:12:45] Like, and then people are sending Bible quotes.

[00:12:47] Would you please go watch my special?

[00:12:49] I don't even know what that means.

[00:12:50] Don't know.

[00:12:51] Don't want to not enough time in this lifetime.

[00:12:54] The whole point was missed by so many people.

[00:12:57] They're like, well, you're technically not Christian.

[00:12:59] And here's why I know we needed to be saved by Jesus.

[00:13:04] Personally, I thought we covered that.

[00:13:05] Like, didn't I do that in confirmation?

[00:13:07] But all Catholics think that, but here's the thing.

[00:13:10] Most Catholics aren't serious.

[00:13:12] The serious Catholics become priests and nuns.

[00:13:15] They're the serious ones.

[00:13:16] Or you can go a level even crazier into Opus Dei Mel Gibson.

[00:13:21] That's cuckoo land.

[00:13:23] Cuckoo, cuckoo.

[00:13:24] It's like Orthodox Catholicism, if you could put a label on that.

[00:13:28] Ortholicism.

[00:13:29] Or, ortholicism.

[00:13:30] That's right.

[00:13:31] O, or, I can't say it.

[00:13:35] You gotta do Opus Dei.

[00:13:37] Ornog.

[00:13:38] Ornog.

[00:13:39] But the amount, and the irony is, the Christians were the meanest.

[00:13:44] Yeah.

[00:13:45] Right.

[00:13:45] There were a couple Muslims that were like, yeah, we're not really in this fight.

[00:13:48] This is like a family fight within a family.

[00:13:51] I'm like, right.

[00:13:52] Right.

[00:13:52] And then there were a few nice people that were like, oh, if you're following Christ,

[00:13:57] then somebody compared us to Mormonists and Satanists.

[00:13:59] I'm like, Satanists.

[00:14:01] I'm like, okay.

[00:14:02] I didn't see that.

[00:14:02] Listen.

[00:14:03] Listen.

[00:14:04] If I gotta choose, I might go with the Satanists, because at least they're probably drinking

[00:14:07] and smoking.

[00:14:08] And I don't think the Mormons, they won't even let me have caffeine.

[00:14:11] So yeah.

[00:14:13] The Mormons would say they're Christians, because they follow Christ.

[00:14:16] They just have extra stuff.

[00:14:18] Yeah.

[00:14:19] Right.

[00:14:19] So it's not the...

[00:14:21] Their own book.

[00:14:23] Right.

[00:14:24] I think the Book of Mormon should be called PS.

[00:14:27] Like, here's some stuff that came after the Bible.

[00:14:30] This covers our ass.

[00:14:33] Whatever.

[00:14:34] I direct all my Mormon questions to my friend, Ryan Hamilton, the very funny comedian, Ryan

[00:14:38] Hamilton.

[00:14:39] But yeah, it was the most psycho thing.

[00:14:43] I can't even look at the comment.

[00:14:45] Well, I did.

[00:14:45] I looked at some, and it was just...

[00:14:49] Here's the thing that the Catholics, we're not in the fight.

[00:14:53] No.

[00:14:54] The Christians are just, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

[00:14:57] I'm like, do you understand?

[00:14:58] We don't care.

[00:14:59] It's like punching a drunk in an alley.

[00:15:01] Go ahead.

[00:15:02] Don't care.

[00:15:03] Hit me again.

[00:15:04] Don't care.

[00:15:05] Like, we do not care that you are mad that we are not, quote, Christian.

[00:15:10] This is what I was given.

[00:15:12] The whole point of the joke, too, is how ridiculous the Catholic religion is.

[00:15:16] Yes.

[00:15:16] And you've missed the point.

[00:15:17] I'm making fun of my own religion.

[00:15:19] Now, as a Libra who likes...

[00:15:23] I like to know.

[00:15:24] Order.

[00:15:24] I like order.

[00:15:26] I like the Catholic religion because it's treated like a corporation and there's a CEO

[00:15:30] and then there's people under the CEO and it's basically you're given a human resource

[00:15:34] guide of who to contact if you have a problem and the joke goes on and on and about the saints.

[00:15:39] And, you know, you should never worship the saints more.

[00:15:42] I didn't say I worshiped them more than Jesus.

[00:15:44] I just said they're my go-to guy or my go-to lady for a specific thing takes the work off

[00:15:50] Jesus.

[00:15:51] It just...

[00:15:52] I've never seen anything like it.

[00:15:55] The Mormon temple joke got a million views on TikTok, but nobody got mad.

[00:16:00] No.

[00:16:01] This one...

[00:16:05] Because that's one of my nieces or nephews is like, good idea, Aunt Kat, start some religious

[00:16:11] holy war shit on Thanksgiving weekend.

[00:16:13] I'm like, well, it could have been worse.

[00:16:15] I could have done it on Christmas.

[00:16:16] Where did they see the rest of my joke?

[00:16:18] Also, this joke has been available for eight goddamn years.

[00:16:21] It's on Netflix.

[00:16:23] It's not like it was a hidden thing that, ooh, secretly, Kathleen...

[00:16:26] Was it secret that I was raised Catholic and I went to Catholic schools?

[00:16:30] No.

[00:16:30] No.

[00:16:31] It was the craziest shit.

[00:16:34] And I thought, this isn't even me having an opinion.

[00:16:37] This is me saying, this is what I was taught and here's why I liked it.

[00:16:41] And, you know, whatever.

[00:16:44] We are not serious people.

[00:16:46] No.

[00:16:47] We shouldn't be taken seriously.

[00:16:49] You Christians should hear that joke.

[00:16:50] One lady's like, you poor lost soul.

[00:16:53] That's a fine reaction.

[00:16:54] She really believes it and that's fine.

[00:16:57] And then I think, maybe I am.

[00:16:59] Maybe I should read the Bible.

[00:17:00] That's how you approach people.

[00:17:02] Do it with just, oh, I just so pity you.

[00:17:05] Yeah, that's right.

[00:17:06] You St. Louis thug people.

[00:17:13] I just was shocked at the backlash.

[00:17:18] Well, it wasn't even backlash.

[00:17:20] The in...

[00:17:21] I love it when it's sub-fighting amongst themselves.

[00:17:23] Mm-hmm.

[00:17:23] Like, I'm not even responding.

[00:17:25] No.

[00:17:25] And then it's back and forth between, you can only get to heaven this way, there's this

[00:17:30] way.

[00:17:31] And then the Muslims are like, yeah, we don't even have all that.

[00:17:33] And the Jews are like, we're not even into the afterlife.

[00:17:35] You should be a good person for right now because you're here.

[00:17:37] And I'm like, that's right.

[00:17:38] I agree with Louis.

[00:17:40] Right.

[00:17:40] Just be a good goddamn person because you're here.

[00:17:42] Makes it better for everybody.

[00:17:44] Anyway, you can go watch the whole special if you are irritated by that.

[00:17:48] Yep.

[00:17:48] You can go watch the entire special.

[00:17:50] Stay down for an hour.

[00:17:52] Wait till I'm able to put it on TikTok in 2026.

[00:17:55] It's gonna be crazy.

[00:17:58] We'll put it in the shows.

[00:18:00] What are we watching?

[00:18:01] It's one joke.

[00:18:02] Bothering Jesus.

[00:18:03] Oh my God.

[00:18:05] It's one joke out of an hour and 14 minutes.

[00:18:08] Mm-hmm.

[00:18:08] Holy shit.

[00:18:09] That's hilarious.

[00:18:09] And then I thought, oh my God, my Instagram followers just went ba-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na.

[00:18:13] And I'm like, are these people gonna come to my shows and hate me now?

[00:18:16] Yeah.

[00:18:16] Like, you wouldn't do that, right?

[00:18:18] You wouldn't show up.

[00:18:19] You wouldn't pay money to go to show somebody.

[00:18:21] Or maybe you pity me.

[00:18:22] That's fine.

[00:18:22] Pity?

[00:18:22] I'll take pity.

[00:18:23] Yeah.

[00:18:24] Or when people say, I'll pray for you.

[00:18:25] Well, yeah, it's great.

[00:18:26] Right.

[00:18:27] Those people are not gonna buy a thing to save you.

[00:18:31] Right.

[00:18:32] Come save me.

[00:18:33] Save me.

[00:18:34] Save me.

[00:18:34] for $32.

[00:18:35] For $32.

[00:18:37] Sometimes $55.

[00:18:38] Sometimes if there's dynamic pricing, it could be $150.

[00:18:41] You never know.

[00:18:44] Oh, that's an update.

[00:18:46] So...

[00:18:48] Swirl.

[00:18:49] Well, I'm gonna do this one.

[00:18:51] That's an update.

[00:18:52] These came in late.

[00:18:54] Yeah.

[00:18:54] I did it late.

[00:18:55] I do all these, by the way.

[00:18:57] And then I take ones that termites send.

[00:18:58] And I try to shout out, because the termites are wonderful research assistants, along with

[00:19:03] my actual, just regular dipshit friends.

[00:19:08] So, I went and got a tree.

[00:19:12] Now the question is, flock or don't flock?

[00:19:15] As a Libra, this is a horrible decision.

[00:19:18] You gotta explain flocking.

[00:19:19] Well, flocking's when they take the thing and make them white.

[00:19:22] But they have added now to their repertoire of painted trees.

[00:19:27] They're real trees, but they have like a foam on them.

[00:19:29] They have pink.

[00:19:30] Like, my sister would die.

[00:19:33] Happy or not happy?

[00:19:34] She would love it.

[00:19:35] Love it.

[00:19:37] She sent me a whole picture of a pink Christmas in someone's home.

[00:19:42] To me, it's not Christmas.

[00:19:44] No, it's gotta be red.

[00:19:45] Red and green.

[00:19:46] But the red tree, a little satanic.

[00:19:48] I don't know about that, you know.

[00:19:50] And as the Christians would tell me, I'm in the same boat as them anyway.

[00:19:53] I'm Satan all the way.

[00:19:55] How did I go from being a Catholic to a Satanist?

[00:19:57] I'm like, we didn't even get the fun in between.

[00:19:59] Like, no.

[00:20:00] No.

[00:20:00] Anyway.

[00:20:02] Um...

[00:20:04] I...

[00:20:05] He flocked one green.

[00:20:06] It did not look real.

[00:20:08] But it did look pretty with the lights.

[00:20:09] He was right.

[00:20:10] My guy's Norm.

[00:20:12] Norm's had some health problems.

[00:20:13] So every year I show up and he's still there, I'm very happy he pops out of his little Winnebago deal.

[00:20:18] And his kid, Chad, has bought it and is in charge of it, but Norm won't leave.

[00:20:23] He said he retired years ago.

[00:20:24] And I go, you just showing up, Norm, make sure this youngster gets his shit right.

[00:20:28] Because you know what?

[00:20:29] I can see six things the matter right here that he...

[00:20:31] Why is that chainsaw on the ground?

[00:20:33] That's not where we put that, is it?

[00:20:34] No, it's not.

[00:20:35] We put it up here on the blocks.

[00:20:37] I think it's like a dad who won't like...

[00:20:39] But he's real sweet.

[00:20:40] And he's still fine.

[00:20:41] He...

[00:20:42] But he was like, now the green one, I don't know, but you gotta see what the lights on.

[00:20:46] And then he told this guy, Julio, to do it.

[00:20:49] And then Julio lit it up and started like packaging up.

[00:20:52] I'm like, no, no, no, no, I'm not buying that.

[00:20:53] No, no, no.

[00:20:55] No.

[00:20:56] No.

[00:20:56] Nada for this lady.

[00:20:57] No.

[00:20:57] I just want a regular treat.

[00:20:59] Was it pretty?

[00:20:59] I love the flock white, but I'm also afraid with the cats.

[00:21:03] Cat people, I don't know.

[00:21:05] They also don't last very long.

[00:21:07] They don't last long?

[00:21:08] No.

[00:21:08] I'm just afraid that white shit would get everywhere.

[00:21:10] Because they're heavy.

[00:21:10] And I'm not anal.

[00:21:12] It looks heavy.

[00:21:13] Yeah.

[00:21:13] It's just, I don't want the...

[00:21:14] I feel like the cats would swat at it.

[00:21:16] Because it looks like a toy.

[00:21:18] The feral cats that don't...

[00:21:19] The feral cats that come inside and sleep in the bed.

[00:21:23] Yeah.

[00:21:23] And have an advent calendar.

[00:21:25] They have two.

[00:21:26] They have one that has toys in it and one that has food in it.

[00:21:28] It's getting ridiculous.

[00:21:31] Well, they're such knobs about their treats.

[00:21:34] They only like greenies.

[00:21:36] They will take their little fucking paws and move the non-greenies aside.

[00:21:42] And only eat the greenies and leave that for me to clean up.

[00:21:44] However, the advent calendar from Trader Joe's, they love the salmon treats.

[00:21:48] Who gave you that?

[00:21:50] I forgot.

[00:21:51] Oh, my friend Nicole.

[00:21:52] Yeah.

[00:21:52] I couldn't remember.

[00:21:53] I have one with toys.

[00:21:54] I bought the one with toys off Amazon.

[00:21:57] Pinky Tito might have had something with that.

[00:21:59] Do you think?

[00:22:00] Pinky Tito, no.

[00:22:02] He doesn't do any of the shopping in that household.

[00:22:03] I can tell you that.

[00:22:04] He doesn't even know.

[00:22:05] He probably can't even tell you where they bank.

[00:22:07] I think Nicole runs a tight ship and he just shows up cute as can be.

[00:22:13] And, you know, hey, do you have a good day at work?

[00:22:15] Watch this.

[00:22:16] Yeah, watch this.

[00:22:17] Watch this.

[00:22:21] Okay.

[00:22:22] So, you know, I was thinking, when did this flocking start?

[00:22:26] This is before.

[00:22:26] This is just Christmas talk or whatever.

[00:22:28] I don't remember it as a kid.

[00:22:30] Well, this is hilarious.

[00:22:31] I don't remember.

[00:22:32] I've never seen it as a kid.

[00:22:33] I don't think I saw it until I was like 40.

[00:22:37] I remember when artificial trees came in and we were like, whoa.

[00:22:40] Artificial trees.

[00:22:41] I know.

[00:22:41] My aunt and aunt had one.

[00:22:42] And I was just like, boo.

[00:22:45] Boo.

[00:22:46] But my dad was like Mr. Christmas.

[00:22:48] He was like, we're decorating ladders.

[00:22:50] He used to take a fishing rod.

[00:22:52] We had a giant A-frame.

[00:22:54] And I'm like, Dad, how do you think?

[00:22:55] This is before you could hire people to put up your Christmas lights.

[00:22:57] But you had to risk your own life.

[00:22:59] Like, you had to just get the, then he'd go by bigger ladders.

[00:23:02] And I'm like, this is getting weird.

[00:23:04] Like, I don't think this is safe.

[00:23:05] My mom refused to watch.

[00:23:07] He took a fishing pole and he hooked the lights up to the end like a lure.

[00:23:13] And he casted them up to the top of the A-frame and it fucking caught.

[00:23:18] I was like, that's amazing.

[00:23:20] But now what are we going to do?

[00:23:22] Because they're sagging.

[00:23:23] Well, then he got on the ladder and he yanked them tight.

[00:23:26] Yeah.

[00:23:26] Anyway.

[00:23:27] Jack Madigan was Mr. Christmas.

[00:23:29] He loved all of it.

[00:23:30] Our, our front yard looked like a mall.

[00:23:32] I mean, it looked like you just rocked up to a mall in 1992.

[00:23:36] That's awesome.

[00:23:37] Yeah.

[00:23:37] And they had decorated.

[00:23:38] But I never saw flock trees.

[00:23:40] No.

[00:23:41] Even in LA when a tree would cost like $800 and it was like four foot tall.

[00:23:46] I'm like, fuck, you know, this is not right.

[00:23:48] But anyway.

[00:23:49] But I'll do it.

[00:23:50] I'll do it.

[00:23:51] Because I'm not going to not have a tree.

[00:23:52] But so flocking, here's the thing.

[00:23:54] One of the many curious holiday traditions, one of the oldest one has to be spraying down small trees with a mixture of adhesive and cellulose fibers to satisfy our longing for a white Christmas.

[00:24:04] That's what happened when you adorn a tree with artificial snow, otherwise known as flocking.

[00:24:10] And yet, when decorated and lit up, there's something beautiful and warmly nostalgic about a well-flocked Christmas tree.

[00:24:16] Which I could see how that would happen.

[00:24:18] Okay.

[00:24:18] Here's how professionals manufacture this Christmas miracle.

[00:24:22] Um, flocking really caught on in the 50s and 60s.

[00:24:27] See?

[00:24:27] Really?

[00:24:28] Along with aluminum trees.

[00:24:30] Right.

[00:24:31] Aluminum trees?

[00:24:32] Yeah.

[00:24:32] Well, even if any fake tree would be aluminum.

[00:24:35] Oh.

[00:24:36] But they also went with the actual color because it's silver.

[00:24:38] That's bizarre.

[00:24:40] I know.

[00:24:40] I've never seen that.

[00:24:41] Um, other glitzy, if not natural looking decor of the post-war boom.

[00:24:45] Listen to this.

[00:24:47] This is in the 50s.

[00:24:49] General Mills marketed snow flock home kits to be applied using a gun that attached to a vacuum cleaner.

[00:25:01] That is fantastic.

[00:25:04] Like, I'm sure it has the hose part, right?

[00:25:07] Yeah.

[00:25:07] And then it was supposed to fill.

[00:25:08] But back then we didn't have that clear part of a vacuum.

[00:25:11] No.

[00:25:11] Is that where you are?

[00:25:13] I, I'm going to order one.

[00:25:14] See if it was bought a go.

[00:25:15] See if you snow flack home kits.

[00:25:17] See if we can still get one.

[00:25:18] On eBay?

[00:25:19] Let's see.

[00:25:20] If, if America could still buy this thing.

[00:25:24] Oh yeah.

[00:25:25] Nuh.

[00:25:25] eBay.

[00:25:27] Oh, how much?

[00:25:28] 60 bucks.

[00:25:29] We're bought.

[00:25:30] Bought.

[00:25:31] Buy as priced.

[00:25:32] You owe me 60 bucks.

[00:25:34] But will new vacuums work?

[00:25:36] I don't know.

[00:25:38] Oh my God, here it is.

[00:25:41] The snow jet.

[00:25:42] The snow jet.

[00:25:43] Oh wow.

[00:25:44] Yeah, we're totally.

[00:25:47] We should probably do it outside.

[00:25:50] Well, I'm definitely doing it outside.

[00:25:52] I don't know.

[00:25:53] I have hardwood floors.

[00:25:53] I don't really care.

[00:25:54] I mean, the, I don't want it on the one rug I have though.

[00:25:58] No.

[00:25:58] And the cats won't like it.

[00:26:00] Oh, you can get one at Home Depot if you want to do it yourself.

[00:26:01] Home Depot?

[00:26:02] Wow.

[00:26:05] Here's a used one for 16 bucks.

[00:26:10] A used one's fine, but does it come with the snow?

[00:26:13] Yeah, from 1960.

[00:26:14] From the six, it's from 1960?

[00:26:16] Yeah.

[00:26:16] Okay.

[00:26:18] Well.

[00:26:18] This lady looks real happy.

[00:26:21] Oh my God, it's in Nashville.

[00:26:23] We'll buy it.

[00:26:23] It's in Nashville?

[00:26:24] Uh huh.

[00:26:24] All right.

[00:26:25] Bought.

[00:26:25] Yep.

[00:26:26] So here's what, how it works.

[00:26:28] That's funny.

[00:26:30] There's like, well, these are the big ones though.

[00:26:33] The machine pumps the powder through a hose and a gun at the end mixes it with a mist

[00:26:37] of water.

[00:26:39] Now I don't know that the one I buy is going to work like that, but that's how the big ones

[00:26:44] work.

[00:26:47] There's pitfalls though.

[00:26:48] If you don't use enough water, the flocking falls off and makes a huge mess.

[00:26:51] A flock tree can't get wet a second time.

[00:26:56] I, well, yeah, it's going to do if I, um, oh my God, this guy said it won't dry again.

[00:27:03] It's disgusting actually.

[00:27:04] Jesus.

[00:27:05] The tree I bought was $350.

[00:27:07] It's 10 feet tall.

[00:27:08] I don't want to waste $350.

[00:27:10] I'm going to go get a tiny tree.

[00:27:12] Okay.

[00:27:13] Yeah.

[00:27:13] Just like a bullshit one.

[00:27:14] Maybe we'll do a reet.

[00:27:15] Or I'll just cut one down.

[00:27:16] There's one up on the way out of there.

[00:27:18] You're going to cut one of your trees in your yard?

[00:27:20] Well, it's a tiny thing.

[00:27:21] It never gets any bigger.

[00:27:22] It's there's something wrong with it.

[00:27:23] Okay.

[00:27:24] Yeah, it could die.

[00:27:25] All right.

[00:27:26] Cool.

[00:27:26] Um, so that's what, that's the flocking thing.

[00:27:29] If you've been wondering if you're tree shopping, it's a little bizarre.

[00:27:36] Queen and King news.

[00:27:37] Okay.

[00:27:38] Snoop Dogg, King Snoop turned up at Jelly Roll's last concert.

[00:27:44] That looked awesome.

[00:27:45] And he performed, which was great because you never see Snoop sing anymore.

[00:27:49] It's all.

[00:27:50] He did on the Olympics.

[00:27:52] Remember?

[00:27:52] Barely.

[00:27:53] Barely.

[00:27:54] You don't watch enough voice.

[00:27:55] I don't watch.

[00:27:56] I don't watch enough.

[00:27:57] Does he sing on the voice?

[00:27:58] Yeah, he helps.

[00:27:59] Uh huh.

[00:28:00] Reba hates it.

[00:28:01] Queen Stevie, quiet.

[00:28:03] Chapel, quiet.

[00:28:04] Cher, she's still out there rambling on about her book.

[00:28:08] Uh, Tommy.

[00:28:09] I think he's doing a great job.

[00:28:11] I know you do.

[00:28:12] I disagree.

[00:28:13] And I think there's 375 million dollar experiments gone wrong.

[00:28:17] And now that he's part owner of the Raiders, I just, I don't think it can continue.

[00:28:22] Yeah.

[00:28:23] I'm just saying.

[00:28:24] I love him.

[00:28:25] But I, you just go be the owner of the Raiders.

[00:28:27] Why do you want to do this anyway?

[00:28:28] Why do you want to get this?

[00:28:29] It's a job.

[00:28:30] Aaron Andrews is awesome.

[00:28:32] She can do it.

[00:28:33] I am.

[00:28:33] I know Greg Gumbel, the sports guy.

[00:28:35] And I hear, you know, over the years, I know what those guys have to do.

[00:28:39] It's not like, it's a big fucking job.

[00:28:42] Like you have to get in on Thursday, boom, interviews Friday, boom, interviews Saturday,

[00:28:46] whatever the case.

[00:28:47] Pre, all those pre tapes, they have to memorize all this stuff.

[00:28:51] Like if you're Tom, I don't know.

[00:28:53] I wouldn't do it.

[00:28:54] But I'm not.

[00:28:55] And Tay Tay, Vancouver last shows.

[00:28:58] Oh, they did the whole runway to welcome Tay Tay.

[00:29:02] So great.

[00:29:03] To Vancouver then, they hid friendship bracelets all around the city.

[00:29:07] The RMCP did.

[00:29:08] Yeah, the RMCP, and they were like valuable ones.

[00:29:12] They were super, that's fun.

[00:29:13] I'd participate in that.

[00:29:16] Dolly, quiet for a week, but you know that she's just designing another spaghetti pot or

[00:29:22] some bullshit.

[00:29:23] There's going to be, maybe cookies.

[00:29:25] Maybe she already has a cookie one.

[00:29:27] You got to think Christmas, ornament making.

[00:29:30] Yeah, let's do that.

[00:29:31] At the hobby lobby.

[00:29:32] Right.

[00:29:33] Going to the hobby lobby, even though they don't treat their employees very nice.

[00:29:38] Not at all.

[00:29:39] Not one licking bit.

[00:29:40] Not at all.

[00:29:41] All right.

[00:29:42] What are we watching?

[00:29:44] Well, Yellowstone.

[00:29:45] I mean, could it get...

[00:29:46] It's awful.

[00:29:47] I know, it's awful, but I love it.

[00:29:49] I love it.

[00:29:50] But also, way too many commercials.

[00:29:52] Way, way, way, way, way.

[00:29:53] Ridiculous.

[00:29:54] Like, the show is only like, probably 20 minutes long.

[00:29:57] It's so...

[00:29:57] And if somebody dies every week, come on, this doesn't happen in Montana.

[00:30:01] There's not a murder every Friday at two o'clock.

[00:30:04] Shut up.

[00:30:04] Right.

[00:30:05] It's ridiculous.

[00:30:06] But I love it.

[00:30:07] So, and I'm all in, and there's only two more episodes.

[00:30:10] We're going to wrap that whole thing up in two.

[00:30:12] Landman with Billy Bob Thornton.

[00:30:14] I don't know that I've ever seen a better show.

[00:30:16] It's awesome.

[00:30:16] He's so great.

[00:30:18] It's just great.

[00:30:19] For a fallback show, I'm going to call this your fallback.

[00:30:23] Okay.

[00:30:24] If you want to get into it, Pinky Tito told me about Lioness.

[00:30:28] Was it good?

[00:30:29] It's very good.

[00:30:30] I do find parts of it to be...

[00:30:32] It's also a Taylor Sheridan thing.

[00:30:34] And then I realized Taylor Sheridan is actually in all of these things.

[00:30:38] He's that guy, the one guy.

[00:30:40] He's an actor?

[00:30:41] Yes.

[00:30:41] He's like a 50-something, super bulked up.

[00:30:45] I gotta go with him.

[00:30:47] You'll recognize him.

[00:30:49] Taylor clearly was lacking a sense of community as a child.

[00:30:52] And he wants to either be a cowboy in a bunkhouse,

[00:30:55] or a CIA guy with a gang in a bunkhouse.

[00:30:58] He loves being in some sort of camp bunkhouse.

[00:31:01] Wow.

[00:31:02] Yellowstone, the cowboy camp.

[00:31:03] Who puts himself in it?

[00:31:05] I would put myself in it if I wrote it.

[00:31:08] Absolutely.

[00:31:09] You can only have a tiny part.

[00:31:12] It wouldn't be like a thing.

[00:31:13] No, they sent me something the other day and it said,

[00:31:16] do you want to...

[00:31:17] Lead something.

[00:31:18] Yeah, and there was some comedian in it that I know...

[00:31:22] Now I can't think of who.

[00:31:23] Matt Reif.

[00:31:24] Matt Reif, but that blonde-haired kid who has a brother.

[00:31:28] He's not a child.

[00:31:29] He's probably 48 years old or some shit.

[00:31:31] Oh, the Owen Wilson.

[00:31:34] Owen Wilson.

[00:31:35] And then he has a brother.

[00:31:36] Blonde-haired kid?

[00:31:38] Jesus.

[00:31:38] Yeah, he's like 50.

[00:31:39] I know.

[00:31:40] But I just think of him...

[00:31:42] But I mean, the part, they were like a lead thing.

[00:31:46] It was like 18 pages.

[00:31:47] I'm like, please tell these people I'm flattered that you think I can pass to be in my 30s.

[00:31:53] I don't know if you don't watch my videos.

[00:31:56] But also, no, I'm not a lead.

[00:32:00] That's insulting to people that can really do that.

[00:32:02] They went to school for that.

[00:32:03] Yeah, I'm a side bartender lady that just does something funny every now and then.

[00:32:07] So I just always send that back.

[00:32:09] This is a hard no, but it doesn't mean no for everything.

[00:32:11] It just means I know when I'm not qualified to do something.

[00:32:14] Let's not waste everyone's time.

[00:32:15] How about a Hallmark movie?

[00:32:17] I would love to be in a Hallmark movie.

[00:32:18] And speaking of that, Hallmark.

[00:32:23] I watched it full, admit it, two hours of the worst movie I've ever seen.

[00:32:31] Even that one about the sharks taking over the Champs-Élysées in Paris was less ridiculous.

[00:32:37] Oh, I don't know about that.

[00:32:37] It was good.

[00:32:39] It was ridiculous.

[00:32:40] You get to see Paris, a lot of B-roll.

[00:32:42] There were positives about that.

[00:32:44] This Hallmark movie about the Kansas City Chiefs and the whole thing,

[00:32:49] it's supposed to be Tay-Tay, but it really didn't come off as that.

[00:32:51] Holiday touchdown.

[00:32:53] Holiday touchdown.

[00:32:55] There was no, anytime there's no conflict, your story's going to fall flat.

[00:33:01] There's no conflict.

[00:33:02] Donna Kelsey did a wonderful little job for what she had to do.

[00:33:05] Her part was totally appropriate.

[00:33:08] The actors weren't bad.

[00:33:09] She owned the barbecue place.

[00:33:10] She owned the barbecue place and they called it Mama Norm's or some shit.

[00:33:16] I don't know what it was.

[00:33:17] I think it's supposed to be Arthur Bryant's in St. Louis, in Kansas City, but also, oh,

[00:33:22] it's supposed to be Joe's.

[00:33:23] Yeah.

[00:33:24] Because if it was Arthur Bryant's there would have been more black people there and working

[00:33:27] there and eating there and they forgot to do that for this Hallmark movie.

[00:33:31] Absolutely.

[00:33:32] Very white Christmas.

[00:33:33] I mean white.

[00:33:35] Yes.

[00:33:36] Not even an Asian.

[00:33:37] No.

[00:33:37] Just to spice it up.

[00:33:39] Nothing.

[00:33:40] Just white people everywhere.

[00:33:41] Anyway.

[00:33:43] I hope I can hate me over saying that, but it's the truth.

[00:33:45] Yeah.

[00:33:46] Don't blame me.

[00:33:46] Blame Hallmark.

[00:33:47] Call Kansas City.

[00:33:48] Yell at them.

[00:33:49] The actors were fine.

[00:33:51] They lived in Independence, though.

[00:33:52] Well, Independence, Missouri, which a lot of people don't know has a shit ton of meth

[00:33:56] and they didn't include that in this Hallmark movie.

[00:33:59] Independence, Missouri, let's start another religious war.

[00:34:01] That's where the original Mormons, I'm not saying real ones, Joseph Smith left and then

[00:34:08] they kicked him out of Kansas City.

[00:34:09] We ran him out of Missouri and the choice is you're either going to go with Brigham Young

[00:34:13] to Utah or you staying with Joseph Smith Jr. in Missouri.

[00:34:17] They split off.

[00:34:18] Oh.

[00:34:19] So my Mormon friends are the Utah version.

[00:34:22] Mm-hmm.

[00:34:23] There is a Missouri sect and they believe that Jesus is coming back.

[00:34:27] Are they polygamists?

[00:34:28] No, they're not polygamists.

[00:34:30] Okay.

[00:34:30] No.

[00:34:31] They just believe that when Christ comes back, he's coming to Independence, Missouri.

[00:34:36] Where Mama Kelsey's barbecue is.

[00:34:37] I hope he's the Chiefs fan.

[00:34:39] I hope he enjoys a little meth action on the local news.

[00:34:43] It's fine.

[00:34:43] It's a suburb.

[00:34:44] I mean, every suburb's got meth.

[00:34:46] I'm not dogging Independence.

[00:34:47] I'm just saying that is where the Mormons, those Mormons.

[00:34:50] Mm-hmm.

[00:34:51] So don't hate me.

[00:34:52] Mm-hmm.

[00:34:52] I'm just telling you facts, people.

[00:34:54] Google it.

[00:34:55] Yeah.

[00:34:55] If you want to Google it.

[00:34:56] Joseph Smith Jr., Missouri.

[00:34:58] Mm-hmm.

[00:34:59] Meth.

[00:35:00] Meth.

[00:35:01] Here's your tag words.

[00:35:02] Ready?

[00:35:03] Hashtag.

[00:35:04] Hashtag crime.

[00:35:06] Hashtag meth.

[00:35:06] Hashtag.

[00:35:07] Anyway, it was disappointing because I was really hoping it'd be a good one and it

[00:35:12] was just terrible.

[00:35:13] Yep.

[00:35:13] Yep.

[00:35:13] Save yourself or record it so you can fast forward.

[00:35:17] I had to sit through every Hallmark commercial that's ever been made.

[00:35:20] You recorded it though and you still did that.

[00:35:22] I forgot I recorded it and I'm sitting there going, God damn these commercials.

[00:35:25] This is ridiculous.

[00:35:26] How much bullshit?

[00:35:28] Okay, I'll buy your, I'll buy your ornament.

[00:35:30] Just say buy the ornament and I'll do it and then stop this.

[00:35:33] Stop the torture.

[00:35:35] God, I'm very disappointed in myself for doing that.

[00:35:38] That was great.

[00:35:39] But I did.

[00:35:39] I fell for it.

[00:35:40] I'm super excited.

[00:35:41] Um, and that's really, I haven't had a chance to watch any other Christmas movies.

[00:35:45] If I see any that are good, I will let you know.

[00:35:47] Update!

[00:35:48] I got some good ones for you.

[00:35:49] You got good ones?

[00:35:50] Yeah.

[00:35:51] I'll get on it this week before I go to Shippensburg.

[00:35:55] Maybe I'll watch them in Shippensburg.

[00:35:57] In Shippensburg.

[00:35:57] No, no, no, no.

[00:35:58] Thursday Night Football Live!

[00:36:00] And my fantasy league, can we just talk about?

[00:36:03] Just for a minute.

[00:36:04] Everybody wants to know about your fantasy league.

[00:36:05] My fantasy league, the one I'm in first place, just dominating.

[00:36:09] The other one, I fell into the basement, but guess who fell further?

[00:36:12] Lewis.

[00:36:13] No way.

[00:36:14] Lewis is like in an underground bunker.

[00:36:16] He's not even in a basement.

[00:36:17] He's in the fruit cellar, the mud cellar.

[00:36:19] He's like below the house basement.

[00:36:22] Um, there was just so many, uh, watching Aaron Rodgers lose again and the Jets sticking

[00:36:29] with that choice.

[00:36:31] You know what?

[00:36:31] Maybe you gotta stick with it, but also let's just move on.

[00:36:35] Who else is on the sideline, please?

[00:36:37] Is anybody in New York?

[00:36:39] Can you just show up in a uniform and play?

[00:36:40] Fuck, fuck Aaron Rodgers.

[00:36:42] He's the most narcissistic.

[00:36:44] Oh, and then he threw his whole team under the bus.

[00:36:46] I saw that.

[00:36:47] Well, you know, sometimes it's me, but there's 11 guys out there.

[00:36:50] That's what he said.

[00:36:51] Like, dude, how about you're 41 and you suck?

[00:36:55] Right.

[00:36:55] How about you forgot to go to minicamp?

[00:36:57] Mm-hmm.

[00:36:57] You just didn't want to do it because you were in Italy.

[00:36:59] Mm-hmm.

[00:36:59] Well, you know, that's not going to earn the respect of the youngsters, especially the

[00:37:02] ones who were kind of probably use that period in June to get your autograph and your picture

[00:37:06] made.

[00:37:08] I had your locker poster.

[00:37:09] Yeah.

[00:37:10] Dude, I remember when I was like nine, you were so awesome.

[00:37:13] I had Packer sheets.

[00:37:15] It was great.

[00:37:16] Um, you like the color green.

[00:37:19] Yeah.

[00:37:19] Uh, the Kansas City game ended in a very peculiar way.

[00:37:23] Uh huh.

[00:37:23] And then everybody's going to say the refs are cheating for the chiefs.

[00:37:26] But like I said to my brother, but why they're already won their division, but I didn't

[00:37:29] understand because they had a better record.

[00:37:31] They do get a buy.

[00:37:32] So bills fans.

[00:37:34] They're irritated.

[00:37:35] Yeah, because they would have been even.

[00:37:37] Yeah.

[00:37:37] Oh, they would have been even.

[00:37:38] Yeah.

[00:37:38] And the bills are really, really good.

[00:37:40] And the bills beat the chiefs.

[00:37:41] They would have done it.

[00:37:42] Detroit's really, really good.

[00:37:43] Yeah.

[00:37:44] And I don't believe in Baltimore.

[00:37:46] I said it.

[00:37:48] I said it.

[00:37:49] You're kidding.

[00:37:49] I don't.

[00:37:50] I think Lamar's great.

[00:37:54] I get it.

[00:37:54] He's my quarterback.

[00:37:55] He scores me 35, 40 points every fantasy week.

[00:37:58] Just a wonderful choice.

[00:38:00] Mm hmm.

[00:38:01] But as far as like when they start a play, I feel like Lamar instantly acts like it's

[00:38:08] a broken play and he just starts running for the.

[00:38:10] So if you're a receiver and your pattern didn't work, you can't just stop because he's still

[00:38:14] running around back there.

[00:38:15] You just have to go get open somewhere.

[00:38:17] Right.

[00:38:17] Their play is never over, which is a good thing.

[00:38:19] But it's also a little sloppy and mismanaged.

[00:38:23] And I love Derrick Henry.

[00:38:24] I hope for his sake they keep going.

[00:38:26] But I don't know.

[00:38:27] I think the bills.

[00:38:28] I think it's going to be bills and the lions.

[00:38:32] Lions and bills.

[00:38:33] And I see.

[00:38:34] I see.

[00:38:34] I'm still not convinced you can be Patrick Mahomes though.

[00:38:38] Well, you're a Chiefs fan.

[00:38:39] Well, I'm a Chiefs fan, but I'm a bandwagon person.

[00:38:42] I was a St. Louis Rams fan.

[00:38:44] I went to the Chiefs by default.

[00:38:46] I'm not like those people in the movie.

[00:38:49] Right.

[00:38:50] Melissa Etheridge, she's always on the good morning football because she's from Kansas.

[00:38:54] They have to.

[00:38:56] What are you going to do?

[00:38:57] That's not bandwagon though.

[00:38:58] Bandwagon is you started when they started winning.

[00:39:01] They were not winning when I started.

[00:39:03] Right.

[00:39:03] So it's not a whole 100% bandwagon, but it was a team by default because St. Louis people

[00:39:09] view St. Louis as this and Kansas City people, they don't even like going to St. Louis.

[00:39:14] Like they don't do it.

[00:39:15] I've noticed that.

[00:39:16] We go to Kansas City and we're like, isn't this adorable?

[00:39:19] Isn't this cute?

[00:39:20] It's like a little farm hallmark place, but it's gotten bigger and now it's getting better

[00:39:26] and it's getting more stuff than St. Louis.

[00:39:28] And it makes me sad for St. Louis, but happy for Kansas City.

[00:39:31] They're getting all kinds of shit.

[00:39:32] Anyway, that's too much local bullshit.

[00:39:34] But anyway, the football is getting good.

[00:39:38] Update.

[00:39:38] Update.

[00:39:40] This is so.

[00:39:41] Okay.

[00:39:42] Megan and Harry.

[00:39:43] Oh no.

[00:39:44] I'm obsessed with it because my parents said, this is what's going to happen to these

[00:39:51] two.

[00:39:52] And it's exactly what's happening.

[00:39:54] So just when you think your parents don't know what the hell's going on yet, they have

[00:39:58] a lot of knowledge about life when it comes to things like this.

[00:40:01] He said he's going to end up like his dad was like, what is wrong with him?

[00:40:05] Does he not have a television?

[00:40:07] Go rent a movie about your uncle.

[00:40:09] He did the same bullshit.

[00:40:11] And then I said, you know, what happened to them?

[00:40:14] Willis Simpson.

[00:40:16] Wallace.

[00:40:16] Wallace Simpson and George the fifth or whatever.

[00:40:20] 85th.

[00:40:20] I don't know.

[00:40:21] Yeah.

[00:40:21] They just, they became losers and ran around the world and grifted.

[00:40:27] Yeah, they were already weird, but they just grifted off other rich people their entire

[00:40:32] life.

[00:40:32] And then she died alone in some French.

[00:40:36] Chateau.

[00:40:37] Chateau.

[00:40:37] That was not theirs.

[00:40:39] Or it was gifted or so it's the same.

[00:40:42] She was a grift.

[00:40:47] And Megan, if you want to be an actor again.

[00:40:50] Okay.

[00:40:50] Is suits, you know, porn.

[00:40:53] There's it's for the children.

[00:40:55] It's like soft porn for the children, but whatever.

[00:40:58] Your friend Amy's in it.

[00:41:00] Amy Aquino's in in suits.

[00:41:02] Yeah.

[00:41:03] Shut up.

[00:41:03] As what?

[00:41:04] I don't know.

[00:41:05] I'll look.

[00:41:06] What?

[00:41:06] Amy.

[00:41:07] My friend Amy Aquino is in the movie juror number two, the Clint Eastwood movie.

[00:41:11] She plays a judge.

[00:41:13] 2011.

[00:41:14] What was her role?

[00:41:18] It's on my MVB.

[00:41:20] Oh, I'll have to ask her about that.

[00:41:22] Yeah.

[00:41:22] She's a busy little busy little.

[00:41:24] What are you setting her for Christmas?

[00:41:25] Busy little termite.

[00:41:27] I didn't know she was doing all those things.

[00:41:28] I only hear about the.

[00:41:30] Anyway.

[00:41:30] She played Elaine.

[00:41:33] She played Elaine.

[00:41:34] Yeah, but they're all 20 somethings.

[00:41:37] Amy's not at all.

[00:41:38] What did she?

[00:41:40] I wonder what she played.

[00:41:40] When what was her?

[00:41:41] Was she the boss of the whole place or something?

[00:41:43] The CEO of the fake law firm?

[00:41:45] She was a judge.

[00:41:46] A judge.

[00:41:48] Amy has made a whole career out of judging.

[00:41:51] I love it.

[00:41:51] She was on all those like Providence, those shows.

[00:41:54] She's an honors graduate in biology from Harvard.

[00:41:57] She's an honors biology.

[00:41:58] She has a biology major from Harvard.

[00:42:01] I never can believe that.

[00:42:02] I'm like, I, first of all, I thought being from the Midwest, I thought Harvard was closed.

[00:42:06] I thought it closed after like Love Story.

[00:42:08] I didn't know it was still open.

[00:42:09] Her credit in suits is just judge.

[00:42:12] Judge?

[00:42:12] It's not a name.

[00:42:14] It's not.

[00:42:14] She don't get a name?

[00:42:15] Nope.

[00:42:15] Just judge?

[00:42:16] Judge.

[00:42:17] All right.

[00:42:18] Go watch Bosch.

[00:42:19] Amy Aquino, she's in Bosch a lot.

[00:42:21] Yeah.

[00:42:22] And all of her roles suit her.

[00:42:24] Mm-hmm.

[00:42:25] Amy's very direct.

[00:42:27] Direct.

[00:42:27] That'd be a really good word.

[00:42:30] And usually right.

[00:42:32] She's usually right.

[00:42:32] Usually right.

[00:42:33] And she usually is.

[00:42:34] Yeah.

[00:42:34] You might try to argue it.

[00:42:36] You'll lose.

[00:42:37] One time I argued about why a lithium battery.

[00:42:41] I should have never done this.

[00:42:42] I don't know what I'm talking about.

[00:42:43] I just heard something.

[00:42:44] Were you drinking?

[00:42:45] Nah, probably, but not a lot.

[00:42:47] Not a lot.

[00:42:48] I mean, I'm at their house.

[00:42:49] I'm usually drinking if I'm at their house.

[00:42:51] And then Drew's like, ah, this is not a fight you want to get into, Maddie.

[00:42:55] And I said, well, I heard those lithium batteries in the electric cars, this is years ago, are just as bad for the earth as if you just had a regular Yukon, a GMC Yukon.

[00:43:07] She came back with files out of the bedroom.

[00:43:10] She had files of what?

[00:43:12] This is gas.

[00:43:14] It's diesel.

[00:43:15] All this.

[00:43:15] I go, Amy, whoa.

[00:43:16] You, I just believe you.

[00:43:19] You don't have to go to your safe.

[00:43:21] God dang.

[00:43:23] It's fine.

[00:43:23] That's great.

[00:43:24] Fine.

[00:43:25] Why don't you tell me what to do?

[00:43:27] You want me to buy an electric car?

[00:43:28] I will.

[00:43:28] You don't?

[00:43:29] I won't.

[00:43:29] I don't even care what I drive.

[00:43:30] I have a 2007 Mercury Mariner.

[00:43:33] Yeah.

[00:43:35] Anyway, back to Harry and Megan.

[00:43:38] Sorry.

[00:43:39] Sorry.

[00:43:40] But now everybody can go look up my friend Amy Aquino.

[00:43:43] I'll put it in the show.

[00:43:44] She was famous for her Girl Scout cookie episode on Everybody Loves Raymond.

[00:43:48] People actually recognize her from that.

[00:43:50] And they're like, you're the cookie lady.

[00:43:53] And I'm like, I sadly can't say that I saw it.

[00:43:56] I did not.

[00:43:56] I should go back and watch it.

[00:43:58] I think she was like a militant cookie lady.

[00:44:00] I think.

[00:44:01] She was the head of a Girl Scout troop.

[00:44:03] The Girl Scout troop on the cookie drive.

[00:44:05] And she was like the militant one.

[00:44:06] And Ray Romano didn't know what he's doing.

[00:44:08] Right.

[00:44:10] So, Megan Markle has had to ask the US Patent Office for more time to correct the American Riviera Orchard trademark application.

[00:44:18] More time.

[00:44:19] Now there's rumors she's going to fire the lawyer.

[00:44:21] You should.

[00:44:22] Oh yeah.

[00:44:22] So I'm on board with Megan on that.

[00:44:24] That lawyer should have known.

[00:44:26] First of all, you didn't even Google the goddamn name.

[00:44:29] Google it.

[00:44:31] Right.

[00:44:31] Anybody can do that for free.

[00:44:32] You don't have to be a lawyer.

[00:44:34] Google it.

[00:44:34] You would have seen the problems.

[00:44:36] So now they have three months.

[00:44:38] So she has no, they want an extension.

[00:44:42] And if you don't complete this one correctly on this time frame, you have to start over completely.

[00:44:50] But she needs to.

[00:44:51] This name isn't going to get approved.

[00:44:53] No.

[00:44:53] No.

[00:44:54] So should you fire the people?

[00:44:55] Yes.

[00:44:56] So this is the company.

[00:44:58] She's going to try to be like Gwyneth Paltrow or, um, I don't know.

[00:45:02] Does Oprah?

[00:45:03] Yeah.

[00:45:04] I can't believe the Oprah magazine is still in the airport.

[00:45:06] I'm like, really?

[00:45:08] Yes.

[00:45:09] Oh, wow.

[00:45:10] I didn't know that.

[00:45:10] It was her favorite thing issue last week when I flew.

[00:45:14] So this is a further update.

[00:45:17] After an exhaustive search, much like Dick Cheney did for the vice presidential position,

[00:45:25] Meghan Markle has appointed herself the CEO.

[00:45:33] Shocking.

[00:45:35] This either means that the word has gotten out in L.A.

[00:45:38] You don't want to go work for these two.

[00:45:40] I'm an asshole.

[00:45:41] Not to, well, asshole or not, you're going to have to trek up to Montecito every now and

[00:45:46] again and it's going to be, it's going to be a pain in your ass.

[00:45:49] Um, she's named herself the CEO of her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard

[00:45:54] after struggling to find a suitable candidate.

[00:45:57] I'm thinking maybe nobody applied, but there's always some bottom feeders that'll go for any

[00:46:03] job in L.A.

[00:46:04] And, but eventually you run out of those.

[00:46:06] It depends on the money.

[00:46:08] I mean, there's always going to be a devil in the, in, in the tall grass to take the money.

[00:46:13] A devil in the tall grass.

[00:46:15] Okay.

[00:46:16] And I just made that up, but they're hiding.

[00:46:17] They're in the tall grass.

[00:46:18] I feel that.

[00:46:19] They're not in the short grass, so you'd see them.

[00:46:24] She intends to launch the brand and really, it's like puppy snacks, jelly.

[00:46:28] What the fuck?

[00:46:29] I mean, are people really still, it's true.

[00:46:33] It's true.

[00:46:33] It's puppy snacks.

[00:46:35] And jelly.

[00:46:36] And that's, oh, there's only 50 of these jellies and you get a number on yours.

[00:46:41] I'm 42.

[00:46:43] How exciting.

[00:46:44] I mean, what is the matter with people?

[00:46:47] You've got all the money right now.

[00:46:50] People are not creative.

[00:46:51] They're not creative.

[00:46:52] We don't do, or if you're going to do jelly, do it all.

[00:46:56] Jelly roll.

[00:46:58] Be jelly roll.

[00:46:59] Be that man.

[00:47:00] He's, by the way, he's lost a hundred pounds.

[00:47:02] I'm very happy for him.

[00:47:02] Good man.

[00:47:03] Yeah.

[00:47:04] She's the CEO.

[00:47:08] Well, are you going to fire the lawyer then?

[00:47:10] If you're the CEO, you can.

[00:47:11] Can you get a badge with that?

[00:47:12] I don't know.

[00:47:13] It's a life, it's going to focus on home, garden, food, lifestyle wares.

[00:47:17] And there's no official, see like Martha Stewart, whether you enjoy Martha Stewart or

[00:47:21] not, once you watch the whole biography of her, she really did that.

[00:47:28] Like you can't just jump in.

[00:47:30] It'd be like me saying right now, I'm going to have a lifestyle brand and I'm going to

[00:47:33] do, well, the things I would like might be real, but like jam and that's not my world.

[00:47:40] You know, I know cat treats now, but it became my world.

[00:47:45] I'm just saying, this is just a thing to become a thing.

[00:47:49] Yes.

[00:47:49] It's like getting a designer dog.

[00:47:51] You did it because on purpose like that.

[00:47:54] Yes.

[00:47:55] Not that there's some not really nice designer dog out there.

[00:47:58] No, they're beautiful.

[00:47:59] Yeah.

[00:48:00] Totally.

[00:48:01] So she's supposed to have a show on Netflix.

[00:48:04] His, his premieres.

[00:48:06] Oh my God.

[00:48:07] What's today?

[00:48:07] December 3rd.

[00:48:09] It's giving Tuesday.

[00:48:11] I don't know.

[00:48:11] Giving Tuesday.

[00:48:12] December 3rd, December 3rd, the 10th in one week, Harry's show polo.

[00:48:17] I, if they, I mean, if they don't go and just pull that off the air, there's, they're

[00:48:21] just, you are asking to get punched in the face repeatedly and then it will keep going

[00:48:27] and going and going and going.

[00:48:29] It's got just rich people being jackasses talking about problems that nobody gives a shit about.

[00:48:34] Not to mention questionable animal abuse.

[00:48:37] You know, I'm not going to get in that fight, but I don't think it's, well, I wouldn't do

[00:48:42] it.

[00:48:43] Yeah.

[00:48:43] I'll let my friend Jan Arden.

[00:48:45] She's trying to get Canada to stop sending horses to China.

[00:48:49] And she actually came up with a good slogan called it's horse shit.

[00:48:53] Maybe Jan's very funny too, though.

[00:48:55] That's her thing.

[00:48:58] Um, so here we go.

[00:49:00] You know, they have a horrible staff history.

[00:49:02] Everyone quits.

[00:49:03] And what does that tell you?

[00:49:04] I mean, I'm just saying this is not going to work.

[00:49:08] My prediction from a cat and cats predictions.

[00:49:12] He is going to, they will get divorced.

[00:49:15] He will live in New York.

[00:49:17] Then he's close to England.

[00:49:19] Those kids will be, we've never even seen a picture of the kids.

[00:49:22] I mean, I don't even know.

[00:49:23] Yeah, I don't think so.

[00:49:24] How old are they now?

[00:49:25] 28.

[00:49:25] 28.

[00:49:28] That would make her, her.

[00:49:29] That picture is going to be so valuable.

[00:49:31] Every year we hold out, it gains more value.

[00:49:33] It's going to be fun.

[00:49:35] Update.

[00:49:36] That's enough beating up on them.

[00:49:38] I did it.

[00:49:39] There's never enough.

[00:49:40] Pickleball revolution.

[00:49:42] This is pickleball.

[00:49:43] It's just, it's dominated.

[00:49:44] This is wonderful.

[00:49:46] Theaters in the USA to invest 2.2 billion for attracting moviegoers

[00:49:51] through pickleball games.

[00:49:53] Yes.

[00:49:54] Are you?

[00:49:56] I can't believe pickleball, it was snowing.

[00:49:59] I don't have an indoor place just yet.

[00:50:01] Oh, you mean at these places are you?

[00:50:02] No, they're going to take movie theaters like an AMC movie theater,

[00:50:05] expand all around the area to make it like an entertainment complex.

[00:50:09] No.

[00:50:09] Here, I'm going to tell you what they're going to do.

[00:50:11] Eight largest theater chains in the US and Canada, you two,

[00:50:14] are preparing to send 2.2 billion to attract more audiences.

[00:50:17] Billions?

[00:50:18] They're going to add zipline facilities.

[00:50:20] Stop it.

[00:50:20] Billions.

[00:50:21] It's a whole entertainment complex.

[00:50:23] I know, I don't think it's a good idea.

[00:50:25] No.

[00:50:25] I think you should take each one of your theaters and make them IMAXs,

[00:50:28] and then I would go.

[00:50:29] Yeah.

[00:50:29] Once I've been to an IMAX, going to the regular movie just seems stupid.

[00:50:33] Do you zipline over the pickleball?

[00:50:35] Maybe you zipline over the IMAX.

[00:50:37] I don't know.

[00:50:40] It's a revolutionary new idea to help make profits go crazy.

[00:50:45] That's funny.

[00:50:45] The existed facilities will be beefed up and the movie theaters will be renovated with new

[00:50:50] and more comfortable seats, better quality projection technology sound systems, as well

[00:50:54] as better food and snacks.

[00:50:55] The movie theaters plan to invest in providing audiences with more entertainment options

[00:51:00] like bowling and arcades, pickleball courts, and even zipline.

[00:51:03] Michael O'Leary, CEO of the Movie Theaters Association, told Variety that pickleball courts

[00:51:08] and zipline will hopefully attract younger audiences while give them multiple options to explore.

[00:51:14] Okay.

[00:51:15] Yeah.

[00:51:16] So it includes AMC, Regal, Cinemark, Cineplex, B&B, Harkins, Santicos, that might be Canadian.

[00:51:24] So all of them.

[00:51:26] Basically.

[00:51:27] 1,600 theater locations.

[00:51:29] Wow.

[00:51:29] We'll see.

[00:51:30] It's pretty cool.

[00:51:31] I mean, it's nice they're not giving up on them, but I still say make them all on IMAX,

[00:51:35] and you got me.

[00:51:36] But they may not care about old people.

[00:51:38] They care about young people.

[00:51:40] Maybe.

[00:51:41] Yeah.

[00:51:41] Mm-hmm.

[00:51:43] I don't think the children care about bowling.

[00:51:45] Every bowling alley by my house is closing.

[00:51:47] But as of last week, the young children care about pickleball.

[00:51:52] They do care about pickleball now.

[00:51:53] Yeah.

[00:51:54] Yeah.

[00:51:55] I'm saving this one for next week.

[00:51:56] Excuse me.

[00:51:57] Yeah.

[00:51:59] Why?

[00:51:59] Yeah.

[00:52:00] Because I feel like, holy shit, they found it.

[00:52:06] Thank you.

[00:52:06] They may.

[00:52:08] This is one of the greatest mysteries of all time.

[00:52:11] The lost colony of Roanoke.

[00:52:13] What?

[00:52:14] Mm-hmm.

[00:52:15] Oh, cool.

[00:52:16] It might be solved.

[00:52:19] I think they died.

[00:52:21] Okay.

[00:52:22] I think a disease hit them and they died.

[00:52:24] Um, so I'll read through this, but it won't bore you.

[00:52:28] I promise.

[00:52:29] When it gets boring, I'll skip paragraphs.

[00:52:30] How many sentences?

[00:52:30] That's what I've done my whole life.

[00:52:32] One of the-

[00:52:32] Oh, it's a termite.

[00:52:33] Yeah, a termite sentence.

[00:52:34] It's from Nancy.

[00:52:36] Termite Nancy?

[00:52:37] Termite Nancy.

[00:52:37] Cool.

[00:52:37] I'm obsessed with Roanoke.

[00:52:39] I know.

[00:52:40] Yeah.

[00:52:40] Because it's very, very, very strange.

[00:52:42] It's not strange though, if it was just a weird, you know, tuberculosis ran through the whole

[00:52:48] colony or something.

[00:52:49] I don't, you know, any kind of scurvy.

[00:52:51] I don't, whatever, what are old timey diseases?

[00:52:54] Slowback diseases.

[00:52:55] Scurvy was usually on a ship, I think, because you didn't have oranges or something like that.

[00:53:00] Wow.

[00:53:00] My doctor friend, Nancy will know.

[00:53:02] Orange?

[00:53:02] Scurvy if you run out oranges.

[00:53:04] Yeah.

[00:53:04] What if you run out of oranges?

[00:53:06] Huh?

[00:53:06] I think it's a lack of vitamin C.

[00:53:10] Scurvy.

[00:53:10] But like, would my orange caribou bears count?

[00:53:12] Probably not.

[00:53:13] No.

[00:53:14] All it took was some shards of ceramic to crack one of America's enduring myths.

[00:53:17] In 2007, archaeologist Nicholas Lachetti of the James River Institute for Archaeology was

[00:53:25] called in to assess part of the 1,000 acre Balgras plantation along the Salmon Creek in

[00:53:30] a coastal North Carolina community which was slated for development.

[00:53:35] Over the course of the thing, this was once occupied by the Algonquin Indians, an indigenous

[00:53:40] small group.

[00:53:44] They, here's what they found.

[00:53:45] They discovered ceramic pieces that were border ware, a specific type of English pottery

[00:53:51] that had been, according to Lachetti, limited to the earliest settlement sites in Virginia,

[00:53:57] potentially dating back to the 16th century.

[00:53:59] I think my first reaction was, are you sure?

[00:54:01] Are you sure it's a border ware from down there?

[00:54:03] In fact, it was.

[00:54:05] Had his team stumbled upon some heretofore unknown English settlement, could the border ware

[00:54:10] have actually come from the lost colony of Roanoke, which was no more than 100 miles

[00:54:14] or so away.

[00:54:16] It's possible that the residents actually come from the lost colony of Roanoke, which

[00:54:21] was no more, I just read that part.

[00:54:23] It reprinted it.

[00:54:24] It was possible the residents of that doomed colony could have owned border ware and theories

[00:54:29] persisted that members of the lost colony could have migrated inland in search of food.

[00:54:35] Okay.

[00:54:35] But why'd they run out of food if they lived, if they were there for quite a bit, not a long

[00:54:40] time, but, hmm.

[00:54:42] I don't know.

[00:54:42] That makes no sense.

[00:54:43] I don't know.

[00:54:43] And the Indians were teaching them.

[00:54:46] Right.

[00:54:46] Yet the maps that survived from the lost colony didn't include Salmon Creek, which seemed

[00:54:51] that scenario to be unlikely.

[00:54:53] Those maps, it turned out, might have been holding a secret all along, one that could

[00:54:57] explain not only how the border ware ended up in the fields of the Balgral plantation,

[00:55:02] but also what happened to the lost colony, one of America's greatest mysteries.

[00:55:08] It vanished 450 years ago.

[00:55:11] It was England's second attempt to establish a colony in the part of North Carolina, now

[00:55:14] known as Fort Raleigh National Historic Site on Roanoke Island.

[00:55:20] The man decided his name for is Sir Walter Raleigh.

[00:55:23] Whoa.

[00:55:24] An English explorer, even though he never set foot on the land.

[00:55:28] A favorite in the court of Queen Elizabeth, Raleigh was given a charter by the Queen in

[00:55:33] 1584, which gave him seven years to establish a colony in the New World on the condition

[00:55:37] that one fifth of any gold or silver mine that would be given to England.

[00:55:43] They had 600 guys.

[00:55:44] This was a great show.

[00:55:45] I don't remember what it was, Jamestown I think it was called.

[00:55:48] So it's not about Roanoke, but same thing.

[00:55:50] We'll find out more of the show.

[00:55:51] It was great.

[00:55:52] I think it was on AMC.

[00:55:53] Yeah, there was a few years on the name.

[00:55:55] I'm going to go with pass all the boring stuff, blah, blah, blah.

[00:55:58] A bunch of them went back to England, the 600, and then they tried to stay, the colonists,

[00:56:06] and then they just disappeared.

[00:56:09] And then they said, oh, they blended in with the indigenous people.

[00:56:12] I don't know about that.

[00:56:14] I don't know about that.

[00:56:15] Well, did we see any newborn indigenous people that looked half English, half indigenous?

[00:56:21] I think you would have noticed.

[00:56:23] Yeah.

[00:56:24] Yeah.

[00:56:24] You don't blend in when you're two.

[00:56:26] You don't blend in.

[00:56:27] Colors and religions and cultures.

[00:56:29] Hey, you have green eyes and freckles.

[00:56:33] How strange.

[00:56:34] Right.

[00:56:35] What tribe are you from?

[00:56:37] See, it was taken for granted that the English who survived were absorbed by the indigenous tribes.

[00:56:41] Nah, I don't know.

[00:56:43] Nah, I don't know about that.

[00:56:44] Yeah.

[00:56:45] But anyway, now that they've got this map and they're saying it's very possible they could have walked 100 miles looking for food.

[00:56:53] But I also don't know, can you walk 100 miles if you're that hungry?

[00:56:58] Depends.

[00:57:03] This map's going to help.

[00:57:05] It's possible.

[00:57:06] That's all I'm saying.

[00:57:07] It's possible.

[00:57:09] Here's another one.

[00:57:10] This is crazy.

[00:57:11] This is crazy because this was one of my biggest childhood mysteries.

[00:57:16] Uh huh.

[00:57:17] But for you children, in the 70s, a dude who looks so cool.

[00:57:23] I mean the drawings of him.

[00:57:25] Yeah.

[00:57:27] He had on a suit and a tie.

[00:57:29] He was very dapper and he had on awesome sunglasses.

[00:57:32] Yeah.

[00:57:32] And he hijacked a plane with passengers and flight attendants.

[00:57:36] And then I'm going to read you the story.

[00:57:38] And it's always been a mystery of who was D.B. Cooper.

[00:57:40] That's what they named him.

[00:57:41] Never found the guy.

[00:57:42] Yeah.

[00:57:43] In my lifetime, he got away with it.

[00:57:46] Okay.

[00:57:47] Which I also thought, I know $200,000 back then was a million, but is that enough to do

[00:57:52] that?

[00:57:54] I think there'd be easier ways to get a million bucks.

[00:57:56] I'd rather rob an art museum or something less dangerous.

[00:57:59] We've talked about it on the list, but we've got to give it an answer.

[00:58:01] In one of the biggest mysteries in U.S. criminal history, just what happened to D.B.

[00:58:04] Cougar, the man who hijacked an airplane before leaping out in midair with 200 grand

[00:58:08] in cash.

[00:58:09] Now, more than 50 years later, the infamous crime may have been solved after a pair of

[00:58:13] siblings came forward to claim that they found the parachute used in the hijacking in their

[00:58:19] mother's shed and that Cooper was their father.

[00:58:22] They're only doing this now because the mother has passed away.

[00:58:25] Oh.

[00:58:26] Because they thought she was kind of in on it.

[00:58:28] Oh.

[00:58:28] So, can't have mama going to jail.

[00:58:31] No.

[00:58:31] No.

[00:58:32] Wow.

[00:58:33] Shantae and Rick McCoy III said their father, Richard McCoy Jr., was the man who identified

[00:58:38] himself as Dan Cooper when he boarded...

[00:58:40] Okay, here's where you know you're old.

[00:58:42] I actually remember.

[00:58:44] Northwest Orient Airliner.

[00:58:46] That's what he got on, a Northwest Orient.

[00:58:49] Never heard of that.

[00:58:50] Yeah.

[00:58:50] Ever.

[00:58:51] Nope.

[00:58:52] Well, it became Northwest.

[00:58:53] They just dropped Orient.

[00:58:56] I'm not going to ask why.

[00:58:57] I know why.

[00:58:58] Well, all right.

[00:58:59] That's why if you fly to Detroit, you will hear all announcements also in Chinese, which

[00:59:04] is very weird Detroit.

[00:59:05] Detroit, when you've got the Detroit Hardy accent and then a ting-ong-fung-chung.

[00:59:09] I'm like, whoa, but I never understood that Northwest was the first one that had nonstop

[00:59:13] routes to Asia, and they were super proud of that.

[00:59:16] Made a lot of shit ton of money off of it.

[00:59:18] Anyway.

[00:59:19] He got a...

[00:59:20] Fung-ho-lions.

[00:59:21] All right.

[00:59:21] You don't need to do your Chinese impression.

[00:59:24] We're going to get hate mail for that.

[00:59:25] No, we're not.

[00:59:26] They're all Lions fans.

[00:59:27] We know why now.

[00:59:29] He boarded a Northwest Orient Airlines jetliner.

[00:59:33] Jetliner, who still says that?

[00:59:35] From Portland to Seattle, November 1971.

[00:59:38] Okay.

[00:59:38] Cooper, or perhaps McCoy, proceeded to order a bourbon and soda before handing a note to

[00:59:43] the flight attendant that said he had a bomb in his briefcase.

[00:59:45] I love that he drank too.

[00:59:47] And he smoked.

[00:59:48] And you could smoke on the plane.

[00:59:49] While he was doing it.

[00:59:50] Yep.

[00:59:51] There's an ashtray right here in your arm deal.

[00:59:53] Right here.

[00:59:54] There's an ashtray.

[00:59:55] We're good.

[00:59:56] Miss, I have a bomb, and I would like you to sit by me, the note said.

[01:00:00] When the plane arrived in Seattle, Cooper collected 200,

[01:00:03] $200,000 in ransom money along with four parachutes.

[01:00:07] And he released all the passengers.

[01:00:09] This is why I was kind of respected to him.

[01:00:11] He never hurt anybody.

[01:00:12] He just wanted the money.

[01:00:13] I'm sure he scared the shit out of some people, but they have a story for life.

[01:00:17] Now you're the hit of Thanksgiving.

[01:00:19] I was on the plane.

[01:00:21] The gun hijack.

[01:00:22] He then ordered the flight crew to head for Mexico City via Reno, Nevada.

[01:00:26] But after 30 minutes of taking off, Cooper jumped out of the airplane somewhere over

[01:00:31] Southwest Washington.

[01:00:33] The hijack baffled the FBI who spent 45 years investigating before officially closing the

[01:00:38] case in 2016.

[01:00:39] We talked about that on this podcast that they were closing.

[01:00:42] It's also caught the attention of amateur sleuths, particularly after the $5,800 of the

[01:00:47] ransom money was found near Vancouver, Washington in 1980.

[01:00:51] They found the cash in the woods.

[01:00:53] Some of it.

[01:00:55] In November, Dan Greiter, a retired pilot who spent 20 years investigating the case, told

[01:01:00] the Cowboys State Daily that the FBI was reinvestigating the Cooper case after the discovery

[01:01:04] of the parachute in McCoy's mother's shed.

[01:01:07] The rig is literally one in a billion, Greiter said of the parachute.

[01:01:10] Wow.

[01:01:11] But he said FBI agents had visited the property of McCoy's mother, Karen, who died in 2020

[01:01:17] last year.

[01:01:18] Agents searched over every nook and cranny.

[01:01:22] Greiter, the guy who's doing his own investigating, released two videos on his YouTube channel called

[01:01:28] Probable Cause, Documenting McCoy's Claims.

[01:01:31] In his latest video, he claims the FBI effectively reopened the case after contacting him in late

[01:01:37] 2023.

[01:01:38] The FBI now has a parachute, and they're searching for a positive DNA connection between McCoy's

[01:01:43] DNA and Cooper's DNA on board the aircraft.

[01:01:49] The FBI has not responded.

[01:01:51] He was this McCoy guy.

[01:01:52] He was a former military helicopter pilot who served in Vietnam.

[01:01:56] He was among the suspects investigated by the FBI after he, he already did this.

[01:02:00] He hijacked a plane on April 7th, 1972, leaping onto the aircraft with 500 grand in cash over

[01:02:06] Provo, Utah.

[01:02:08] What?

[01:02:08] Yeah.

[01:02:09] He was arrested two days later and sentenced to 45 years in prison, but he escaped in

[01:02:15] 1974 after three months on the run.

[01:02:17] He was killed by an FBI agent.

[01:02:21] Perhaps McCoy did hiding the secret of the DB with him.

[01:02:25] What do you mean he was killed?

[01:02:27] Yeah, I don't understand that.

[01:02:28] McCoy.

[01:02:30] Oh, they're saying he was arrested and sentenced to 40, but he escaped.

[01:02:35] After three months on the run, he was killed by an app.

[01:02:38] Perhaps McCoy died hiding the secret.

[01:02:43] Oh, so he did it.

[01:02:45] He did the first one, then hid the parachute, did the second one and then died, but the mother

[01:02:49] was still alive.

[01:02:50] I get it.

[01:02:51] Oh, okay.

[01:02:52] I get it.

[01:02:53] Okay.

[01:02:53] Ooh, that took me a minute.

[01:02:54] I can't do podcast before 11 a.m.

[01:02:58] Yeah.

[01:02:59] Well, you got eggnog.

[01:03:00] Well, yeah, but I haven't even really gotten into that.

[01:03:03] Okay.

[01:03:03] Um, so I think we're going to find out if it was him.

[01:03:08] Let's go through the shed a little bit more too.

[01:03:10] Yeah.

[01:03:11] And what did dad, so dad died cause he, he tried to get five, he jumped with $500,000.

[01:03:18] Hmm.

[01:03:19] Hmm.

[01:03:20] I'd say if the guy did it twice, it's him.

[01:03:23] Yes.

[01:03:23] Mm hmm.

[01:03:25] Absolutely.

[01:03:27] Do you drive a Nissan?

[01:03:29] Turmines?

[01:03:29] I do not.

[01:03:31] I do not.

[01:03:31] Me neither.

[01:03:32] But I've rented the infinity many times and I love it.

[01:03:35] My sister says it's the cool mom pickup car for meaning in the pickup line at grade school.

[01:03:42] Oh.

[01:03:43] Yeah.

[01:03:44] You're the cool moms have the Nissan infinity.

[01:03:46] Okay.

[01:03:46] Now it is a little wide.

[01:03:48] It's like driving a giant family room, but I do love it.

[01:03:52] Um, the seats are super duper comfortable.

[01:03:56] Um, I can't really park it that good.

[01:03:58] It's too fat.

[01:04:00] But as far as a comfortable ride for a couple hours, I like random.

[01:04:04] Okay.

[01:04:04] Like if that's my choice, I'd rather have a GMC, but I'll take a Nissan.

[01:04:08] No problem.

[01:04:09] Okay.

[01:04:10] Well, the whole car manufacturing giant Nissan could be on the brinks of collapse within

[01:04:15] 12 months, 12 months.

[01:04:17] The Japanese auto firm, which employs 7,000 people in the UK and 17,000 in the U S has embarked

[01:04:23] on a huge cost cutting program after suffering heavy losses, which is weird to me because

[01:04:28] these infinities are everywhere.

[01:04:29] Well, so are Nissan's.

[01:04:31] But I, what else?

[01:04:32] Sentra's?

[01:04:32] I don't even know what else they make.

[01:04:34] Well, it's infinity is the upscale.

[01:04:35] Yeah.

[01:04:36] Infinity is the fancy one.

[01:04:37] Nissan Armada.

[01:04:38] Oh, the Armada.

[01:04:39] Yeah.

[01:04:40] That's fine.

[01:04:40] I like that car too.

[01:04:41] Yeah.

[01:04:41] Does nobody buy them?

[01:04:42] Oh, infinity is the upgrade.

[01:04:47] Yeah.

[01:04:48] Uh, they're going to have to ax 9,000 jobs and 20% of its global manufacturing capacity

[01:04:53] as it's scrambled to reduce costs by 2 billion in the current fiscal year amid a sales slump

[01:04:58] in China and the U S well, chief executive Makoto Yoshida.

[01:05:07] Yeah.

[01:05:08] Yoshida.

[01:05:09] I did that one, right?

[01:05:09] Makoto, Makoto Yoshida.

[01:05:12] I think I do better with, um, sometimes the Asian words cause they actually sound the

[01:05:16] way they felt is taking a 50% pay cut.

[01:05:19] And it's now better reported that the chief financial offer, Steven Ma is stepping down.

[01:05:22] That's great.

[01:05:23] But insiders fear it may not be enough as Nissan struggles to stay competitive with rivals

[01:05:28] who have pushed ahead more successfully with popular hybrid cars.

[01:05:31] Mm-hmm.

[01:05:32] I don't know.

[01:05:33] If you want your Nissans to stay, go get one.

[01:05:36] Go upgrade.

[01:05:36] Go get a new one.

[01:05:37] Upgrade.

[01:05:38] If you want to, um, this took balls.

[01:05:43] Give this girl credit.

[01:05:44] We're moving on.

[01:05:46] Yeah.

[01:05:46] Well, I'm just, that's just a warning for Nissan fans.

[01:05:49] Yeah.

[01:05:50] I've never owned one, but I do like rent them.

[01:05:53] Go buy every one.

[01:05:53] Maybe if they go out of business, they'll sell the whole fleet to rental cars and then

[01:05:56] everybody can rent them.

[01:05:57] And then you'll be sorry you didn't buy one.

[01:05:59] Yeah.

[01:06:00] You'll be at the Payless line.

[01:06:03] Grand chess master.

[01:06:05] Oh.

[01:06:06] It's a woman.

[01:06:07] Young woman.

[01:06:08] Refuses to play in Saudi Arabia and will lose two world titles.

[01:06:12] Now, here's the thing.

[01:06:15] I don't stand for much.

[01:06:17] Yes, you do.

[01:06:19] No, I don't.

[01:06:20] I don't really, I don't wouldn't, I've never been to a protest.

[01:06:23] I don't have a sign.

[01:06:25] Nothing gets me that riled up.

[01:06:26] Stop it.

[01:06:27] This does though.

[01:06:28] Okay.

[01:06:28] I agree with this girl.

[01:06:29] All right.

[01:06:30] A chess player has been ranked as high as number two, made a bold stance by choosing

[01:06:34] not to compete in a significant event due to where it was being held.

[01:06:39] She's a grand chess master.

[01:06:41] She looks, I don't know, 30s.

[01:06:43] I'm guessing.

[01:06:44] Anna Muzichuk refused to compete in Saudi Arabia back in 2017.

[01:06:50] Okay.

[01:06:51] But she's also going to, she's refusing to play now.

[01:06:55] Okay.

[01:06:55] Because she gave a very honest answer.

[01:06:57] In a few days, oh, she's 31.

[01:06:59] Look at me guessing right.

[01:07:00] Nice.

[01:07:01] She's not going back to the Middle East.

[01:07:03] In a few days I'll lose two world titles back to back.

[01:07:06] I refuse to play because I decided not to go to Saudi Arabia.

[01:07:10] I refuse to play by special rules to where a baya, is that how it's, what it's called?

[01:07:16] I don't know.

[01:07:16] A baya?

[01:07:17] A b a y a.

[01:07:19] A b a y a.

[01:07:19] Maybe.

[01:07:20] I thought they were all burqas, but I don't know.

[01:07:21] Oh, that's not a burqa.

[01:07:23] I know that.

[01:07:24] The burqa is the whole deal.

[01:07:25] I learned that in Afghanistan.

[01:07:27] And they're very, very, very heavy.

[01:07:29] I've never been to Afghanistan.

[01:07:31] Well, I wouldn't know why anybody would be there.

[01:07:33] I was just telling jokes to troops.

[01:07:35] But the burqas are very, very heavy.

[01:07:37] Yeah, a baya.

[01:07:38] Okay.

[01:07:39] She refused to wear that.

[01:07:41] She refused to be accompanied by a man so I can leave the hotel.

[01:07:44] I don't want to feel like a second class person.

[01:07:47] I'll follow my principles and not compete in the world fast, chest and blitz championship

[01:07:51] where in five days I could have won more money than dozens of other tournaments combined.

[01:07:55] This is all very nasty, but sad no one seems to care.

[01:07:59] Bitter feelings can't go back.

[01:08:00] This is my thing.

[01:08:01] This is why it's my only thing thing.

[01:08:03] And I still might have went, well, how much can I win?

[01:08:07] Who all's playing?

[01:08:08] Fuck, I could kick their ass and make two million.

[01:08:10] What do I got to wear?

[01:08:12] Who's supposed to take me out?

[01:08:13] Like I could have fallen for it.

[01:08:15] I am not saying that I know that I would have the resolve.

[01:08:18] But if you treated any other group of people on earth like this,

[01:08:23] it would be considered, you know, let's say you did it to all black people

[01:08:30] or all Irish people or all whatever.

[01:08:34] Yeah.

[01:08:35] A group of people.

[01:08:36] Oh my God, there would be protests all over the world.

[01:08:38] But the Saudi Arabians just go, well, it's our religion.

[01:08:40] Right.

[01:08:41] And then everybody goes, okay.

[01:08:42] Yeah.

[01:08:43] Oh, okay.

[01:08:44] I can't leave the house without a man.

[01:08:46] I mean, you talk about getting my Irish up.

[01:08:48] Like, oh, I got to call Patrick and see if he's available.

[01:08:51] Take me over there.

[01:08:52] I don't know.

[01:08:53] Maybe my brother Joe's at, Joe, are you off work?

[01:08:55] I need to go to break time and get a lottery ticket.

[01:08:58] Can you hurry up?

[01:08:59] I need a six pack.

[01:09:00] I'm so thirsty.

[01:09:03] So good for this youngster.

[01:09:05] You know.

[01:09:06] That's great.

[01:09:07] That's bullshit.

[01:09:08] It is bullshit.

[01:09:09] There was some reason that I was supposed to do.

[01:09:11] There's something.

[01:09:12] Oh, do you want to perform in Dubai?

[01:09:15] No.

[01:09:15] No.

[01:09:16] No.

[01:09:17] Not until I'm equal.

[01:09:19] You want to hear my jokes?

[01:09:20] Well, you're just going to have to come to Cedar Falls.

[01:09:28] And you know what?

[01:09:29] Your little thing.

[01:09:31] Somebody will win their money.

[01:09:34] And she's ranked.

[01:09:36] Number two.

[01:09:36] Somebody's going to win their money.

[01:09:37] But your tournament won't mean as much.

[01:09:40] Because the number two player is not there.

[01:09:41] So it's a win with an asterisk.

[01:09:43] Like, okay, I got second.

[01:09:45] But.

[01:09:46] But you kind of rigged the system.

[01:09:47] Good for her.

[01:09:48] Yeah.

[01:09:49] I like it.

[01:09:52] This is hilarious.

[01:09:55] There's a gas station called Lucky's in Mexico that looks awfully similar to Bucky's.

[01:10:04] Stop it.

[01:10:07] They've totally gripped in it.

[01:10:08] Oh my god.

[01:10:09] And instead of the beaver, they have a raccoon.

[01:10:11] Stop.

[01:10:11] Oh, and it's a circle.

[01:10:13] It's the same.

[01:10:14] There's something special about stopping at Bucky's during a road trip.

[01:10:17] The iconic beaver logo is shining a shining light to travelers near and far.

[01:10:20] So it's no surprise that a copycat starts popping up to gain some of that mojo.

[01:10:24] The newest challenger to Bucky's brand isn't the United States, but south of the border in Mexico.

[01:10:29] A new convenience store called Lucky's has popped up over 500 miles south of San Antonio in Estion Manuel something Mexico.

[01:10:38] Before, the store appears to have the same font as Bucky's and with a woodland critter looking off into the distance.

[01:10:46] However, Bucky the beaver has been replaced by Lucky the raccoon.

[01:10:49] That's ridiculous.

[01:10:50] That's ridiculous.

[01:10:51] It's so funny though.

[01:10:52] You took so much effort.

[01:10:53] However, photos show a large green facility with a massive Lucky's logo.

[01:11:00] But they didn't spell it L-U-C-E-E-E.

[01:11:04] They did spell it L-U-C-K-Y.

[01:11:06] They didn't completely remember.

[01:11:07] They should have.

[01:11:08] If you're going to do it, do it.

[01:11:10] And just mock troll them.

[01:11:11] Hey, we're in Mexico, man.

[01:11:13] I've never seen your stupid Bucky's.

[01:11:15] I live in Mexico.

[01:11:16] Chase us.

[01:11:16] The truck stopped next to the hotel.

[01:11:19] Lucky has a black fur around his eye drawn like a mask.

[01:11:22] And he dons a cowboy hat and a red bandana.

[01:11:25] Now I got to get to one of these.

[01:11:26] A horse statue with a covered wagon sits outside for visitors to commemorate their stop with a photo, a store photo.

[01:11:34] There are also statues of sheriff and a Native American at the entrance of the shop.

[01:11:38] Bucky's general counsel and spokesperson Jeff Nidaldo stated that the company has no comment about Lucky's.

[01:11:44] This isn't the first time somebody's tried to replicate the Bucky's brand.

[01:11:47] In April 2022, a tiny Bucky's was erected 20 miles east of Marathon, but it only stood in place for a few days.

[01:11:55] In 2023, a supermercado called Bucky's in somewhere Mexico hit social media update.

[01:12:04] They compared the Mexican store to Bucky's.

[01:12:06] They disapproved.

[01:12:08] And before the owner, they changed it before it opened.

[01:12:12] I think it's hilarious.

[01:12:13] They went, okay, let's just do it, man.

[01:12:15] Make them stop us.

[01:12:17] It's going to be an international lawsuit.

[01:12:18] Do you know how hard it is to sue?

[01:12:20] Right.

[01:12:20] Yeah.

[01:12:21] Out of country?

[01:12:22] Out of country.

[01:12:22] Make them do it.

[01:12:24] Yeah.

[01:12:25] Lucky's.

[01:12:28] I have the full Coachella lineup.

[01:12:31] Are you excited about it?

[01:12:32] This will be the 59th year I will not be in attendance.

[01:12:37] And I'd say probably 50 of those years I couldn't afford it.

[01:12:40] And nine, I absolutely could afford it.

[01:12:42] And I have zero.

[01:12:43] I'm not going to anything in the desert.

[01:12:45] Ever?

[01:12:46] No.

[01:12:46] Except Vegas.

[01:12:47] I'll go golf.

[01:12:48] But I only make it one round.

[01:12:49] And then, I don't know.

[01:12:50] My head hurts.

[01:12:51] I just am not a desert rat.

[01:12:53] I'm not meant for it.

[01:12:54] Here's some people.

[01:12:55] If you want to go, if you can handle the desert, drink water.

[01:12:59] Drink lots of water.

[01:13:04] I made that mistake.

[01:13:05] I slept for 48 hours.

[01:13:06] I had a heat stroke.

[01:13:07] What?

[01:13:08] Yeah.

[01:13:08] Light beer.

[01:13:09] It was light beer.

[01:13:11] I went to Palm Springs.

[01:13:12] It was about 106 out, but it didn't feel 106.

[01:13:15] No.

[01:13:16] But there was no one on the course.

[01:13:17] I should have taken that as a sign.

[01:13:19] Mm-hmm.

[01:13:19] Coachella, 2020 full lineup announced.

[01:13:22] Lady Gaga?

[01:13:24] Hmm.

[01:13:24] Hmm.

[01:13:26] Green Day?

[01:13:27] Hmm.

[01:13:28] I liked him in high school.

[01:13:29] Post Malone, your favorite.

[01:13:30] Yes!

[01:13:32] Travis Scott?

[01:13:33] No.

[01:13:33] No.

[01:13:35] Charlie XCX?

[01:13:36] That's the lady from the...

[01:13:38] SML, you liked her?

[01:13:39] Yeah, I liked her.

[01:13:39] But her music?

[01:13:41] No.

[01:13:41] I just thought she was funny.

[01:13:42] She's really funny.

[01:13:43] Yeah.

[01:13:44] Missy Elliott?

[01:13:45] Always good.

[01:13:46] FKA Twigs?

[01:13:47] Never heard of them.

[01:13:48] Kraftwerk?

[01:13:50] Kraftwerk?

[01:13:50] It's spelled Kraft like Kraft Cheese.

[01:13:52] Maybe it's cheese.

[01:13:53] Maybe they're cheese.

[01:13:54] Never know.

[01:13:55] That's funny.

[01:13:56] Megan Thee Stallion?

[01:13:57] I just...

[01:13:57] I don't like having to say Thee Stallion.

[01:13:59] It's like Thee Hotel.

[01:14:01] It's for the children.

[01:14:01] It's for the children.

[01:14:02] Yeah, for the children.

[01:14:03] Japanese Breakfast?

[01:14:05] That's a band.

[01:14:06] Japanese Breakfast?

[01:14:07] Mm-hmm.

[01:14:07] I kinda like it.

[01:14:08] Mm-hmm.

[01:14:09] Mm-hmm.

[01:14:10] That's great.

[01:14:14] That's about it.

[01:14:15] I mean, there's a million more that I've never heard.

[01:14:17] I dress high-tech in our herding.

[01:14:19] I'm just saying the headliners that we all kinda would know.

[01:14:21] Mm-hmm.

[01:14:22] Yeah.

[01:14:23] I don't know.

[01:14:24] There you go.

[01:14:25] Termites, if you wanna head out to Coachella, you probably gotta get your campsite now,

[01:14:30] I would say.

[01:14:30] Last week.

[01:14:31] Last week.

[01:14:32] You're too late.

[01:14:33] Am I already too late?

[01:14:34] Yeah.

[01:14:35] I'm gonna do that one at the end.

[01:14:37] Yeah.

[01:14:37] Okay.

[01:14:37] This is just to give you termites.

[01:14:39] This might be too much inside baseball probably in one week, but I'm gonna do it anyway.

[01:14:43] Good.

[01:14:44] The fact that this was an article and a headline, Oasis, the band, the brothers that fight,

[01:14:49] and they tear each other apart on Twitter, nothing makes me laugh harder.

[01:14:52] I think they truly, I've seen the documentary on a plane by an accident.

[01:14:55] I couldn't even tell you.

[01:14:57] You're my wonder wall.

[01:14:59] So nice.

[01:15:00] I know that song.

[01:15:01] That's about all.

[01:15:02] Okay.

[01:15:03] Um, they reminded me of Green Day.

[01:15:06] They were kind of like all in that era.

[01:15:07] They're fine.

[01:15:09] But over there, to me, they're fine.

[01:15:11] Um, but over there, they're like monstrous in Europe and stuff.

[01:15:15] They're yours, Stevie.

[01:15:16] Oh yeah.

[01:15:17] They, they can't get enough of these two.

[01:15:19] The Gallagher brothers.

[01:15:20] Um, they have an article that Nat Oasis has selected WMX as tour merchandise partner.

[01:15:26] That the fact that you've chosen a merch partner made a headline.

[01:15:31] Did you read that Taylor did that song?

[01:15:33] Taylor did that song.

[01:15:34] She made it all.

[01:15:35] She bought her own company.

[01:15:36] Yeah.

[01:15:36] That's what you should do.

[01:15:37] Yes.

[01:15:38] Um, they've sold out 38 dates.

[01:15:42] So, but that's just so you turn around to understand.

[01:15:45] Merch is its own monster.

[01:15:47] And unless you're going to go all in, you got to design the shirt.

[01:15:50] You got to pay a graphic artist to do that.

[01:15:52] Then you get your shirt.

[01:15:53] Here's a shirt right now.

[01:15:54] I love this shirt.

[01:15:55] You got to buy a high quality shirt.

[01:15:56] The venues take anywhere from 20 to 30%.

[01:16:00] Then you got to pay somebody to ship the shit, ship the shit back.

[01:16:03] If it doesn't sell, move it to the next venue.

[01:16:05] Yeah.

[01:16:05] Then you're going to be left with a bunch of shit people didn't buy.

[01:16:08] Probably.

[01:16:09] Yep.

[01:16:09] And then people yell at you.

[01:16:11] I remember I used to sell my own t-shirts and I just got yelled at so much for not having

[01:16:15] the right amount of sizes.

[01:16:16] Look, I am not Nordstrom.

[01:16:19] Okay?

[01:16:19] I got what I got.

[01:16:21] Sorry.

[01:16:22] You know, um, nobody wants smalls.

[01:16:24] Like, it's just a thing.

[01:16:26] Right.

[01:16:26] But it's become so, so when you go to a concert, that's my, this is how to get this over at

[01:16:30] regular tournaments that aren't in all these things.

[01:16:33] When you go to a concert and see a hoodie, the Elton John hoodie was 75 bucks.

[01:16:38] You're like, what?

[01:16:39] Right.

[01:16:39] That's a lot.

[01:16:41] Well, 30% of it goes most likely to whatever venue you're in, which I've always thought

[01:16:47] was bullshit.

[01:16:48] They just learned that like 10 years ago.

[01:16:50] We can just charge them for selling it, but they don't really anyway.

[01:16:54] And then probably 30% graphic artist.

[01:16:58] And then at least 10% shipping.

[01:17:01] I'm up to 70%.

[01:17:03] What the fuck?

[01:17:04] You're breaking even basically.

[01:17:06] Yeah.

[01:17:06] It's a break even thing.

[01:17:07] I just, I don't know.

[01:17:10] I wouldn't.

[01:17:12] Well, I'll just do this merge and put it online.

[01:17:14] Sometimes I drag it to a town if I feel like, well, this town, we're not going to

[01:17:18] general buy stuff.

[01:17:18] And I usually guess right.

[01:17:20] Um, but I don't know.

[01:17:24] It's just, it's a thing.

[01:17:26] And then I get to a concert and I want merch, you know?

[01:17:29] So how much did you pay for your Stevie hoodie?

[01:17:32] My Stevie hoodie, my zip up Stevie hoodie.

[01:17:35] It was probably 65, 70 bucks, but I've had it for five years.

[01:17:40] Um, you know, um, okay.

[01:17:44] I don't usually talk about famous people that I know because I just don't think that's

[01:17:48] right.

[01:17:48] But I'm here to defend my friend Jay Leno.

[01:17:54] I feel so bad for him.

[01:17:56] He had a tough time.

[01:17:57] He had a gig, but people don't know about Jay and I don't think he would mind me saying

[01:18:02] these things or I wouldn't say him.

[01:18:03] Jay is still just a regular road comic.

[01:18:07] Does he, does he, he's never spent any of his tonight show money?

[01:18:10] Not a nickel.

[01:18:12] He brags about that.

[01:18:13] He's very proud of that.

[01:18:14] He does his corporate gigs and his shows in Vegas.

[01:18:16] And he spends that money.

[01:18:18] I've seen his house.

[01:18:19] It is not extravagant at all.

[01:18:21] I told him he had a nice pool.

[01:18:23] He's like, yeah, you should just come over and use it.

[01:18:24] Maybe it's won't care.

[01:18:25] I'm like, oh my God, can you imagine if he got home from work and me and Jim McDonald

[01:18:29] are just on rafts with Bud Lights.

[01:18:31] How was work, man?

[01:18:32] Yeah, no, we're not successful.

[01:18:33] We just thought we'd, uh, we haven't done any work really.

[01:18:35] We're only 27.

[01:18:36] We just thought we'd use your pool.

[01:18:37] Good.

[01:18:37] You said we go.

[01:18:38] I would never do that, but I'm not one of the children.

[01:18:41] No.

[01:18:42] Mm-mm.

[01:18:43] But he fell down a hill.

[01:18:46] He was going to get something to eat.

[01:18:48] This is how, and all of us say, he's crazy.

[01:18:51] Right.

[01:18:52] Like, not in a bad way.

[01:18:54] There's just, Jay is old school, tough as nails.

[01:18:58] Yeah, just get on with it.

[01:18:59] He fell down the hill.

[01:19:01] He looks crazy.

[01:19:03] And the bruising, he, he then went, um, to CVS and got an eye patch, did his act.

[01:19:13] Mm-hmm.

[01:19:13] And then he ate some Italian food.

[01:19:15] I don't know.

[01:19:16] He went to the restaurant that he was trying to get to when he fell down the hill and had

[01:19:19] chicken parm and like the entire left side of his body.

[01:19:23] But people online, you know, they were saying, oh, this looks like a mob hit.

[01:19:28] I bet he owes people money.

[01:19:29] Mm-hmm.

[01:19:29] Really?

[01:19:30] No.

[01:19:31] Why would Jay be at a Hampton Inn?

[01:19:32] Because Jay's just a normal guy.

[01:19:34] And I guarantee you, he said, what hotel is closest to the venue?

[01:19:37] Absolutely.

[01:19:38] That's where I'm going.

[01:19:39] Because he, he's not spending the night.

[01:19:41] No.

[01:19:41] He probably went in, took a shower, took a nap.

[01:19:44] Mm-hmm.

[01:19:44] I've done it a million times.

[01:19:45] I don't have a private jet to get into.

[01:19:47] I have a Nissan Infinity beautiful floating family room that I'm going to go.

[01:19:52] Totally.

[01:19:52] Uh, but somebody, this, he broke his wrist, he broke his finger.

[01:19:57] Um, he's out driving around again.

[01:19:59] Oh, good.

[01:19:59] Jay is normal.

[01:20:01] I think.

[01:20:02] Good.

[01:20:02] Sometimes I think he's on a spectrum.

[01:20:05] Like, he only has three shirts and three pairs of pants.

[01:20:08] When he's off work and it's the Canadian tuxedo.

[01:20:11] Mm-hmm.

[01:20:11] It's a denim shirt.

[01:20:12] Yep.

[01:20:12] And then we, you know, time after time I go, do you have any other shirts, Jay?

[01:20:18] You find a good one and you stick with it.

[01:20:20] And I was like, okay.

[01:20:22] All right.

[01:20:23] And my friend Chuck would roll his eyes like, and I'm like, yeah, he's got like, he's

[01:20:28] got $450 million.

[01:20:30] But he started like we did.

[01:20:31] Every gig I talk about, he knows it and he did the one before I ever knew about it.

[01:20:37] Right.

[01:20:37] Like, his stories are great.

[01:20:39] Um, so people online were like, oh really?

[01:20:41] He's staying at a Hampton Inn and he's worth billion dollars and he fell down a hill.

[01:20:46] Yes.

[01:20:46] Yes.

[01:20:48] Jay loves chicken wings.

[01:20:49] I bet he saw that place down in that strip mall and went, yeah, I'm gonna go get some

[01:20:52] wings.

[01:20:53] And then I'm gonna take a shortcut.

[01:20:54] And then he just boom, fell down the hill instead of going the long way around on the

[01:20:58] actual road where he could have just walked, but it was longer.

[01:21:01] Yeah.

[01:21:01] Somebody said he has a massive gambling debt.

[01:21:04] First of all, no.

[01:21:05] No.

[01:21:05] Jay doesn't gamble.

[01:21:06] No.

[01:21:07] And I think he looks at me like when I'm like, oh yeah, well, you know, I lost 500 bucks

[01:21:11] on football.

[01:21:12] Yeah.

[01:21:13] Why did you, why did you do that?

[01:21:15] Like, he doesn't understand anything I did.

[01:21:16] Right.

[01:21:16] Like, I'm just like this troll that comes around with, yeah.

[01:21:20] Yeah.

[01:21:21] Like, he's not really a drinker, not a smoker.

[01:21:23] Jay, Jay likes cars.

[01:21:24] He likes cars.

[01:21:25] He likes Mavis.

[01:21:26] That's lovely.

[01:21:28] He likes Mavis.

[01:21:30] Somebody wrote, are you speculating that Jay Lino took a beating from mob connected entities?

[01:21:35] You people have no idea how this quote thing works.

[01:21:39] They don't give, the mob doesn't give beatings to major celebrities over gambling debts, especially

[01:21:44] those, those with a thousand priceless classic cars in storage, but keep having fun with the

[01:21:51] injuries of a 74 year old man.

[01:21:54] Exactly.

[01:21:55] I mean, people online.

[01:21:56] We're going to get him in Pittsburgh.

[01:21:58] What?

[01:21:58] He went to a place called the Boulevard.

[01:22:00] That's the restaurant and he had chicken parm and he sat in a booth and ate it.

[01:22:04] That's hilarious.

[01:22:05] Yeah.

[01:22:06] He, he does his own thing.

[01:22:08] I completely, I feel terrible for him though.

[01:22:10] He says it looks like it hurts like hell, but he went and did his show and then he flew

[01:22:14] home and he didn't go to a doctor until he got back to Los Angeles.

[01:22:16] I would have immediately said, hey man, super sorry.

[01:22:19] But if it was like a corporate gig, I don't know if it was a corporate gig cause then they

[01:22:22] don't have anybody else.

[01:22:24] If it's a regular show, you can just move it.

[01:22:25] Right.

[01:22:26] But a corporate gig, nay, nay, nay.

[01:22:27] Can't move it.

[01:22:28] That's awesome.

[01:22:29] We're going to do two more things.

[01:22:32] Okay.

[01:22:33] I have a feel good from a termite.

[01:22:35] It made me very happy.

[01:22:37] Um, I think everybody should know this cause you're going to hear it for the next month.

[01:22:41] Here's how much money Mariah Carey and Brenda Lee earned per year from their holiday classics.

[01:22:48] Brenda Lee came out at the Tanya Tucker concert and I didn't understand why the lady from Poltergeist

[01:22:53] was there.

[01:22:54] And then she started singing that song and I'm like, I'm like, is this the lady who really

[01:22:58] sang it?

[01:22:59] Fuck yeah, it is.

[01:23:00] I'm like, that is amazing.

[01:23:02] Amazing.

[01:23:03] Rocking around.

[01:23:04] And she even kind of hands a voice like that.

[01:23:07] And it was like June.

[01:23:08] Yeah.

[01:23:09] It was not the right month.

[01:23:10] Right.

[01:23:10] Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas Is You alone annually brings the singer millions

[01:23:15] of dollars and the biggest holiday songs are becoming more profitable every year as

[01:23:19] streaming has increasingly dominated the music except the fact that streaming doesn't

[01:23:23] pay.

[01:23:23] There's that.

[01:23:25] Unless you have billions.

[01:23:26] For instance, she has made about $6.1 million in master recording and publishing revenue.

[01:23:34] Wow.

[01:23:34] Well, she probably doesn't get the publishing revenue though.

[01:23:37] But it's had 823 million streams.

[01:23:43] Right.

[01:23:44] So that'll add up.

[01:23:46] Right.

[01:23:46] She pocketed about 1.5 from the master recording.

[01:23:50] She gets paid as a performer.

[01:23:52] She didn't write it.

[01:23:52] She probably doesn't own it.

[01:23:54] No.

[01:23:55] She just sings it.

[01:23:56] So you get your part for being a singer.

[01:24:02] Hershey.

[01:24:02] Oh, well.

[01:24:03] I don't know.

[01:24:03] I don't know.

[01:24:04] Brenda Lee, which topped the top hot 100 for the first time this year.

[01:24:09] It generates about 4 million.

[01:24:12] That's a lot.

[01:24:13] Mm-hmm.

[01:24:13] But I don't know how much she gets of that.

[01:24:15] Especially for the public ice lady.

[01:24:17] Right.

[01:24:18] I mean, you have to have billions and billions.

[01:24:25] She's 79.

[01:24:27] Oh, my God.

[01:24:28] Mm-hmm.

[01:24:28] What?

[01:24:29] 65 years ago she released that song.

[01:24:30] 65?

[01:24:31] Yeah.

[01:24:32] Wow.

[01:24:33] Good for her.

[01:24:33] DJ, play me a Christmas.

[01:24:36] Your favorite.

[01:24:36] My Cher is my favorite.

[01:24:38] I don't even like the Mariah Carey song, but it...

[01:24:40] Oh, I love it!

[01:24:42] Oh!

[01:24:43] And then I was singing it the other day and I couldn't stop singing it because it just

[01:24:46] got in my head.

[01:24:48] It's you and Bronson.

[01:24:50] I don't want to play Christmas.

[01:24:52] I don't like the song and I couldn't stop.

[01:24:55] It's catchy, I'll give her that.

[01:24:56] And she sings it well.

[01:24:57] Here's my feel-good story.

[01:24:59] Okay.

[01:25:00] This is from...

[01:25:00] This came to the team email and...

[01:25:03] Oh, it's very tiny.

[01:25:04] This is from Caroline.

[01:25:07] I won't say listen.

[01:25:09] I'm just getting caught up on a few weeks' worth of podcasts.

[01:25:12] I was delighted but not surprised about the feel-good story about Jeff Vinnick.

[01:25:16] That's the guy in Tampa.

[01:25:18] Yeah, yeah.

[01:25:18] He was the owner of the Tampa Bay Lightning who gave the money back to his employees after

[01:25:22] selling his owner's shares.

[01:25:23] I teach at the Meadowbrook School of Weston in Weston, Mass.

[01:25:27] I've been there about 23 years and taught all four of his kids, her kids, Jeff and Penny.

[01:25:32] When they bought the Lightning and decided to move to Florida, the school hosted a big going-away

[01:25:35] party for them.

[01:25:36] At the party, it was announced that the family's parting gift to the school would be an endowment,

[01:25:40] earmarked especially for the teachers.

[01:25:42] Boom!

[01:25:42] Boom!

[01:25:43] Every year, right before the holidays, each faculty and staff member receives a 4% bonus

[01:25:47] in their paycheck.

[01:25:48] That's awesome.

[01:25:49] They're incredibly generous, yet humble people.

[01:25:53] It was only after they left Florida that we discovered the extent of their altruism.

[01:25:57] There were countless projects over the years that they quietly funded, including putting

[01:26:01] in a sidewalk and lighting the path on the teachers have to take to the upper parking lot each day.

[01:26:05] Not surprised to hear their generosity, and so glad you said it was.

[01:26:08] Oh.

[01:26:09] P.S.

[01:26:10] I'm the one that made you the crazy drinking termite shirt.

[01:26:13] Thank you.

[01:26:14] All right.

[01:26:15] So we're going to do a couple thank yous, a couple quotes, and then I have to go to my

[01:26:18] biker bar for some lunch with my neighbors.

[01:26:22] Nice!

[01:26:23] Yep.

[01:26:24] Did you introduce the goat?

[01:26:25] Oh, I forgot the Christmas screaming goat!

[01:26:27] And the holiday goat.

[01:26:28] Holiday goat!

[01:26:29] Yes!

[01:26:30] He doesn't sound much different than a regular goat.

[01:26:33] But he has a Christmas sweater on, and a hat, and he's on a pile of snow.

[01:26:37] That's so great.

[01:26:39] Oh my God, this is the Taylor Swift Barbie.

[01:26:42] Somebody bought this for me.

[01:26:43] This is probably worth a million dollars.

[01:26:45] That's awesome.

[01:26:46] It is awesome.

[01:26:47] This is from Lakeland, Florida, Termite Amanda.

[01:26:50] That's so cool.

[01:26:51] Yeah, I open it up, I'm like, is this supposed to be Tay Tay?

[01:26:55] Yeah.

[01:26:56] I don't think they can make her blonde for that reason.

[01:26:58] Is that why they didn't make her blonde?

[01:26:59] Yeah.

[01:27:00] She's just a lady.

[01:27:01] Yeah.

[01:27:02] Right, but we all know who it is.

[01:27:04] It's like Lucky's.

[01:27:05] We all know what's going on.

[01:27:07] Pickleball Queen Coffee Bug.

[01:27:09] That's from Cindy and Todd.

[01:27:10] It's very cool.

[01:27:11] My cat, drinking coaster from Karen.

[01:27:15] Vintage Harris.

[01:27:16] People are fighting all kinds of gambling shit now that Bob started it with this Tropicana thing.

[01:27:22] That's from a florist and termite where I grew up, Kelly.

[01:27:25] And my little cat pin from Termite Susan.

[01:27:27] But this was really nice.

[01:27:29] I'm going to try to not cry.

[01:27:32] This guy wrote me a letter.

[01:27:34] And his name is John Patrick also.

[01:27:36] Cool.

[01:27:37] And he's a junior.

[01:27:38] That's awesome.

[01:27:38] So my dad was John Patrick Jr.

[01:27:40] And he's a lawyer too.

[01:27:44] And he went to school at St. Louis University where my dad went.

[01:27:49] Yeah.

[01:27:50] And he even has a friend named Kathleen who's from Florissant.

[01:27:53] So look at that.

[01:27:54] And it's not me.

[01:27:55] I guess there's another one.

[01:27:56] Right.

[01:27:57] He gets the alumni magazine and then they had the in memoriam in the back of my dad's name there.

[01:28:01] That's awesome.

[01:28:02] Yeah.

[01:28:02] It took a lot of work for him to do all this.

[01:28:04] And then I looked at it.

[01:28:05] I'm like, oh, class of 1965.

[01:28:07] He became a lawyer the year I was born.

[01:28:09] Wasn't that lucky for him?

[01:28:11] Yes.

[01:28:11] You get to be a lawyer and not a pipe fitter.

[01:28:13] You don't have to break your back pipe fitting anymore.

[01:28:15] And you have a defiant baby at home that's not going to listen to a goddamn word you say.

[01:28:20] A defiant Christmas baby.

[01:28:21] Refuses to take instructions and says she'll do it on her own.

[01:28:24] Thank you very much.

[01:28:27] It was his biggest gripe with me.

[01:28:28] You just will not listen.

[01:28:30] Well, I listen to some stuff.

[01:28:31] Right now, what you're saying, I find to be insignificant for my future.

[01:28:34] You're happy.

[01:28:36] All right, termites.

[01:28:37] You have fun.

[01:28:38] I have to get to the biker bar.

[01:28:39] I'm late.

[01:28:40] And I think I might get the fried bologna sandwich.

[01:28:43] Oh, delicious.

[01:28:44] It's so good.

[01:28:45] It's not very Christmasy, but whatever.

[01:28:48] It's so good.

[01:28:49] Oh, baby cat hates it.

[01:28:50] Yeah.

[01:28:51] She's not a goat fan.

[01:28:52] All right.

[01:28:52] Ready?

[01:28:53] Where's my lighter?

[01:28:54] Happy Christmas time.

[01:28:56] It's holiday season.

[01:28:58] You have to include the Jewish friends too.

[01:29:00] Louis will get mad if I don't.

[01:29:01] Okay.

[01:29:01] He's going to go like you say forgot, you forgot, but he don't really care.

[01:29:04] He likes Christmas.

[01:29:05] I think he likes Christmas Day better because the food's better.

[01:29:08] Yeah.

[01:29:09] That's Louis' loyalty's only goal as far as your appetizers.

[01:29:13] Yeah, food.

[01:29:13] If you have better food, he'll convert.
