Episode 274: Memorial Day Snacks, FIFA's Inaugural Halftime Show, & Pizza Hut’s Big Red Cups Return

[00:00:09] [SPEAKER_00] Hey everybody, it's me, Kathleen Madigan. Welcome to Madigan's Pubcast. You grab yourself a drink, pull up a bar stool, let's talk about what's been going on.

[00:00:24] [SPEAKER_01] Termites! Episode 274, welcome. Welcome. I broke Stevie's throne. I shook the table and it fell off. I know, it has to go to the Gorilla Glue workshop. I'll fix it. I will fix it. But right now she has nowhere to sit. Maybe that's good. Maybe we get her ass out on the road again. Let's go, let's go, let's go. Right. She's got a big girl boots on. So many things. First of all, just because I don't want to forget it.

[00:00:55] [SPEAKER_01] Nashville's getting the Super Bowl in 2030. And you would think, I mean by the news, there's a party this weekend to celebrate the announcement. By the news coverage, you would think literally Jesus Christ is coming back. And I say that without any joking, no religious shade there. I'm saying that's how excited they are. Yeah. The whole 5 o'clock news. Crazy.

[00:01:22] [SPEAKER_01] And then, it's just going to be so nice to have people come to visit. Just visit and stay a while. But what are we going to do with all these people? Same thing we do every weekend. The CMA Fest. Yeah. And then somebody did the math. CMA Fest, there's more people. New Year's Eve, there's more people. Really? Yeah.

[00:01:39] [SPEAKER_02] And a Super Bowl?

[00:01:40] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah, we're going to have it. They have a half million for CMA Fest for the weekend. It'll be just like the Super Bowl. I just want to tell them, relax. Everybody's got it. Plenty of hotel rooms, plenty of Airbnbs. By then, Elon's tunnel that nobody approved will be ready to go if you're brave enough to get in it. I'm not. I'd rather walk.

[00:02:03] [SPEAKER_01] What am I drinking? Well, I have a Bloody Mary and a beer back. This is Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura's vodka. It's actually quite good. I just wonder sometimes when my friends make alcohol.

[00:02:15] [SPEAKER_03] I don't think they're actually making it.

[00:02:17] [SPEAKER_01] I know Ron's not going down to Mexico getting agave plants out of the ground, but I don't know. I wondered, do they even... But Tom Segura's Peruvian. He's very proud of that.

[00:02:28] [SPEAKER_03] Oh.

[00:02:28] [SPEAKER_01] So I think this was done right. It's actually very, very good. It means for the bears. Porosos? Mm-hmm. Well, there's some more Spanish we just learned. Yes. Porosos. If I'm saying that right. I have our Spanish, so we're not staying dumb. And I have a grammar rule, so we're not staying dumb.

[00:02:46] [SPEAKER_02] What else are you drinking?

[00:02:47] [SPEAKER_01] I'm also drinking bush life for all the farmers in the Midwest. And I hope your fertilizer arises from this... ...arrives from the Strait of Hormuz because I've read that it's not coming.

[00:02:58] [SPEAKER_02] Right.

[00:02:58] [SPEAKER_01] But that's not good.

[00:02:59] [SPEAKER_02] Nope. Bad corn crop, they said.

[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah.

[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_02] Yeah.

[00:03:03] [SPEAKER_01] Well, I don't know what they need it for, but... Corn. Oh, my favorite thing. Summer corn! Yep. Oh no. Terrible news. What are we eating? And before we go on and talk about everything that's going on, Lay's limited edition World Cup Brazilian-style garlic potato chips. They're really good. Jesus. How much money do they spend on packaging and new ideas? And who's their idea person? I want to be their idea person.

[00:03:27] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah.

[00:03:30] [SPEAKER_01] Oh, wow.

[00:03:31] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah.

[00:03:33] [SPEAKER_01] Well, it's a Lay's. They're all good. It's garlicky. It's so good. It is... Yeah. I'd probably pick something different. I'm not a big garlic.

[00:03:41] [SPEAKER_02] No?

[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_01] No.

[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_02] What team's that for?

[00:03:45] [SPEAKER_01] It's for no team, specifically.

[00:03:47] [SPEAKER_02] Well, it's the World Cup-inspired collection.

[00:03:50] [SPEAKER_01] Well, Brazilian then.

[00:03:52] [SPEAKER_02] Okay.

[00:03:52] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah.

[00:03:53] [SPEAKER_02] Who sent those?

[00:03:55] [SPEAKER_01] Which, by the way, Terrence, I saw Chipotle and I'd give these out. If you're a garlic person, A+. Oh, nice. If you're not, I'd say choose something else. Okay. It's overwhelming.

[00:04:07] [SPEAKER_02] Who sent them to you?

[00:04:09] [SPEAKER_01] Those came from Sunrise Beach Termites, which is where I am building my new lake cabin. Carla and Steven, they came to the show. Nice. At the amphitheater, which we'll talk about. Toasted Ritz sweet habanara chips. Ritz is branching into chips now.

[00:04:26] [SPEAKER_02] Ritz is getting weird.

[00:04:27] [SPEAKER_01] I don't know, Ritz.

[00:04:28] [SPEAKER_03] Hey, Nabisco. Oh. No. No. No. No.

[00:04:40] [SPEAKER_01] I just put the other half back in. No. It's... I always think these are for like Xavier and his friends.

[00:04:48] [SPEAKER_02] Okay.

[00:04:48] [SPEAKER_01] 20-something guys. Yeah. Because it's hot as shit.

[00:04:52] [SPEAKER_02] There's a giant pepper on the packaging.

[00:04:54] [SPEAKER_01] That's from Savannah, Georgia, Termites, Mike and Karen. It's very hot. It's habanero. Sweet habanero. I'm saving those for Xavier.

[00:05:05] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah.

[00:05:08] [SPEAKER_01] What do you say? But I also sometimes just think his friends will eat anything because they're 20-something guys. Their orders from Taco Bell are astonishing. How can you fucking one human spend $32 at Taco Bell? What? What did you buy? Right. What? You'd have to like buy shares in Taco Bell to... Yeah. It's amazing.

[00:05:25] [SPEAKER_02] And then they get it delivered.

[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_01] I know. They Uber Eats it. Add 15 bucks on that. You just get up and go. Get up and go. Kindling power to his pretzels, garlic, garlic. Everybody's into garlic these days.

[00:05:38] [SPEAKER_02] Those are from Nashville.

[00:05:39] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. Chad and Leroy. Can't wait to see me at the Ryman.

[00:05:43] [SPEAKER_03] Me neither. Right. Once again, you're a garlic person. Yeah.

[00:05:52] [SPEAKER_01] I'm not so much.

[00:05:54] [SPEAKER_03] Okay.

[00:05:54] [SPEAKER_01] But I appreciate you guys bringing them because then I don't have to spend the... Well, how much is a bag of chips anymore? $17,000.

[00:06:01] [SPEAKER_03] $17,000 is stupid.

[00:06:02] [SPEAKER_01] I know. Yeah. Here's my question for the termites.

[00:06:06] [SPEAKER_03] Okay.

[00:06:08] [SPEAKER_01] I don't like Chipotle usually because I don't like cilantro. Is there anything at Chipotle without cilantro? Or can you... Because I feel like you can't order it without it, but maybe you can. Because I'm always tempted to go there, but then I'm like, no, I hate cilantro. I love Chipotle. I love Chipotle. This Bloody Mary is really good. Such a wonderful tequila. Oh, vodka. Upcoming shows. June 26th and 27th, Knoxville.

[00:06:35] [SPEAKER_01] July 18th, Selbyville, Delaware. July 25th, Niagara Falls, which is the shirt... Oh no, I have on Burt Kreis' shirt.

[00:06:43] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah.

[00:06:44] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah, I thought I had on... I thought I... I changed. They actually made a women's small. I'm so proud of Burt. That's nice. I know. No one ever does. And they saved it for me because they usually order like four. Mm-hmm. August 8th, Portland, Maine. August 21st and 22nd, the Borgata, Atlantic City, September 11th, San Antonio. Nice. Can't wait. So, and to go in September, great. It'll be hot, but not hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot.

[00:07:10] [SPEAKER_03] No.

[00:07:10] [SPEAKER_01] Austin, Austin, September 12th. There you go. Fun. All right. We're gonna move into this one. This is just a little team email. Maybe helpful because I have no shows to watch. I only have sports to watch right now. Sarah recommends Legends on Netflix. It's about customs agents in the 1980s in London and Liverpool trying to take down the heroin trade. Oh. I like it. Big time. I like the whole concept of it. Cool.

[00:07:39] [SPEAKER_01] Um, uh, Queen News. I wish I could play something, but I can't afford to spend $20 million. It is Cher's 80th birthday. Phenomenal.

[00:07:54] [SPEAKER_02] You could see it wherever.

[00:07:55] [SPEAKER_01] It was already Cher's birthday in Australia yesterday and every gay bar on earth lost its goddamn mind in the greatest way possible. Nice. I wish tonight I was in West Hollywood and I never wish I was in anywhere near Los Angeles. But to go to the Abbey tonight, the greatest gay guy bar ever, to watch their Cher, I can't even imagine what they're gonna be doing.

[00:08:23] [SPEAKER_02] The birthday party?

[00:08:23] [SPEAKER_01] I'll have to call my friend Bronson. I'll send Bronson his boots on the ground.

[00:08:27] [SPEAKER_02] Yes.

[00:08:27] [SPEAKER_01] There has to be. You know they're gonna go crazy. And play every Cher song ever and not a one of them sucks. Just so.

[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_02] And then they'll all bounce.

[00:08:36] [SPEAKER_01] So great. See what year you are, you were born if you were born, if you're now 80. See Cher's birth year, please. Will you Google it?

[00:08:45] [SPEAKER_02] It's 2026.

[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_01] I know, I can't do that math that quick. It's easier to Google it. It's easier to Google it. Come on. Google it. Try. What year? 31. I just. 46. 46. Ooh. Wow.

[00:09:03] [SPEAKER_02] 40.

[00:09:04] [SPEAKER_01] The 40s.

[00:09:05] [SPEAKER_02] Plus 80.

[00:09:06] [SPEAKER_01] Well, here's the thing. She can still rent a car. Uh huh. Because I scrolled on Hertz or something and you can be born in 1904 and rent a car in their minds. Shut up. Wow. They don't update that part. That's great. It makes me laugh every time. Um. Nothing for Snoop. Dolly quiet. Too quiet. Too quiet. Doesn't make me happy. Stevie quiet. I'm sure she's still reeling for the Met Gala. Taylor Swift. I found something out you probably don't know. Hmm. Guess how the wedding invitations are being sent out? How?

[00:09:36] [SPEAKER_01] They're not. You're getting a phone call.

[00:09:39] [SPEAKER_03] Oh. Oh. How old school. I like it.

[00:09:43] [SPEAKER_01] Because they don't want somebody taking a picture of the invitation. It's very smart. Very, very, very smart. Um. That's what I read somewhere. I assume it's true. Because it sounds like something Tay Tay would come up with. And um. I've seen rumors they are not inviting her father. Oh no.

[00:10:03] [SPEAKER_03] What?

[00:10:04] [SPEAKER_01] No, no. Uh. His father.

[00:10:06] [SPEAKER_03] What?

[00:10:07] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. I guess they find him to be unpredictable. What's going on with Ed? I don't know. Ed's always been a little bit on the outs. If we do, we're going to be honest. It's all about Donna.

[00:10:17] [SPEAKER_02] Ed Kelsey.

[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_01] Ed Kelsey. Travis's. Daddy.

[00:10:21] [SPEAKER_02] We got to get into that. Uh.

[00:10:23] [SPEAKER_01] Donna's for sure going.

[00:10:25] [SPEAKER_02] If she can get off a cruise ship.

[00:10:26] [SPEAKER_01] If Disney cruises, docks, and she doesn't have the Hantavirus. If Disney docks, and she doesn't have norovirus. If Disney. Yeah. Right. She may never come back. She loves a cruise. Let her keep going. You know what? How many practices did she drive through? If it was my, yeah. If it was my mom, I'd go keep going. Yep. If you're having fun, you don't need to come back here for this shit.

[00:10:50] [SPEAKER_02] No. Have a good time. Or live stream it.

[00:10:54] [SPEAKER_01] Just to your phone, mom. Exactly. Just to your phone. Oh my gosh. Um. And that's it. I got, jelly belly has kind of been quietly dropped off some. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So I'm opening the door to new kings and queens ideas.

[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_03] Yep.

[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_01] We need some younger people. If we insist upon Sabrina Carpenter, I will do it. And this is when I don't feel old. So I'm 60. Patrick is 49.

[00:11:20] [SPEAKER_02] Okay.

[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_01] And.

[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_02] Your brother. Yes.

[00:11:23] [SPEAKER_01] We were talking this morning about the Knicks Cleveland NBA game last night. Mm-hmm. I go, well, sometimes I just get sick. I was more rooting for Cleveland because they're the underdog and their city isn't as prosperous as New York City. Yeah. And I said, sometimes I just get sick of seeing all the celebrities on the sidelines. And he goes, I still don't know who Timothee Chalet is.

[00:11:45] [SPEAKER_02] Chalamet.

[00:11:47] Chalamet.

[00:11:48] [SPEAKER_02] Chalamet.

[00:11:48] [SPEAKER_01] I said, you just sounded worse than I could sound. I said, he played Bob Dylan in the biopic. Even I know that. And he's like, yeah, no, never watching that. I go, you know what? I don't know. He's just in a bunch of movies and he's all the rage with the younger people. But that's. Cool. That's how I feel seeing some of the celebrities. I know the old ones, Ben Affleck, you know, that crowd. But I don't know the young ones.

[00:12:11] [SPEAKER_02] Why is he a Knicks fan?

[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_01] He's probably from New York. Oh, he's from Boston. Boston.

[00:12:15] [SPEAKER_02] Yeah. It's like a bad, bad.

[00:12:18] [SPEAKER_01] Oh, yeah. Wow. That's really crossing a traitor line. All right. We're going to call Holly Bobby. Yeah. And check in on Hollywood. It's slow out there these days. Oh, Holly Bobby.

[00:12:32] [SPEAKER_03] But wait. No. Okay. Wait.

[00:12:36] [SPEAKER_01] Oh, yeah. I didn't even talk about what I did this weekend. Then we'll call Holly Bobby.

[00:12:40] [SPEAKER_03] Okay.

[00:12:41] [SPEAKER_01] What, what a crazy.

[00:12:44] Fucking.

[00:12:45] [SPEAKER_01] That was the show. The show was so fun. The Ozarks Amphitheater blew my mind. It's better than. It looked cool. The Ascend in Nashville. It seats 7500 seated. And then if you get in the grass. That's 10,000.

[00:12:59] [SPEAKER_03] Nice.

[00:13:00] [SPEAKER_01] Bert sold on a weekend where no one's there. Yeah. Because Memorial Day weekends, I live there. I mean, trust, half my life.

[00:13:07] Mm-hmm.

[00:13:09] [SPEAKER_01] Before Memorial Day, it's a lot. I mean, there's people there, but not like people, people. Not summer people. It's a lot of fishermen still. Got it. Blah, blah, blah. He sold a shit ton of tickets.

[00:13:19] Mm-hmm.

[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_01] Word up to Ozark people that might go to the amphitheater. I don't know if I'd get those lawn seats. It's, I love the lawn. I sit it all the time in Nashville, but it's so hot.

[00:13:30] [SPEAKER_00] And a smoking.

[00:13:31] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah, they have a whole, half the lawn smoking, which does not bother me one bit, but that might bother some people. It's just the sun, the way the sun goes, that it's going to be hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, until about 830. Never thought of that. And then it'll be great. Yep. It'll be great. But you got to make it through. And this coming weekend, my friend Dax is there. He's the drummer for Cheap Trick, as I often say. Yep. And they are with Styx.

[00:13:58] [SPEAKER_03] Oh, fun!

[00:13:59] [SPEAKER_01] I know. That's cool. And I said to my nieces, do you guys want to go to Styx? And they were like, we don't know who that is. I'm like, I know, that's why I asked. I just wanted to see your reaction. So I hung out with my mom. I went and met with the builder. Everything's going great. I hung out with my, went to the Willows, my favorite bar in the woods. It's not on the lake. That's why it's more locals, which I appreciate. Mm-hmm. Met some termites there. Fun.

[00:14:28] [SPEAKER_01] Sometimes I can't believe when people actually do what I recommend. That's fun. I know, because I'm like, why are you guys here with Popcast shirts on? Right. And they were like, oh, well, because we listened to what you said. And I'm like, okay, but this bar is not really convenient. Oh, Baby Cat. What is Siri? Oh, she didn't like me pulling this piece of paper out.

[00:14:47] [SPEAKER_02] No, she's not like that.

[00:14:48] [SPEAKER_01] Um, that was, uh, I said I wouldn't say their names because one called in sick.

[00:14:53] [SPEAKER_02] You can say their names. You just can't say what they do.

[00:14:55] [SPEAKER_01] Oh, okay. Samantha and Tina. That could be anybody.

[00:14:58] [SPEAKER_02] Anybody.

[00:14:58] [SPEAKER_01] They, they got all the way out to the Ozarks. That's fun. Yeah. Yeah. And then, uh, Saturday was the big show. So great to see Bert. So, so great. And then the openers, I knew everybody except Roy Scoville, who I loved. Um, I can't really hear so well side stage, but I loved him backstage. Um, and then I already knew Shane Torres and Chris Porter and they're awesome. And those guys have so much fun on the bus.

[00:15:25] [SPEAKER_01] And then they were going to Wichita and, uh, Chris Porter's family came. My whole family came. Everybody came. My nephew got his pictures taken with Bert. Oh my God. You, I got street cred now for like a million, a million years. And they also got there. If they all took off their shirts, I did not. If you go on, um, and, uh, uh, Holly, Bobby was mentioning that I might, they, because they didn't have their shirts on that there's some sort of shaming that I let teenagers take

[00:15:54] [SPEAKER_01] their shirts off. They're 15. And I said, well, if Jack gets raped because of that picture, I'll have him sue Bert.

[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_02] Here we go.

[00:16:04] [SPEAKER_01] And trust me, Bob, um, a 15 year old without a shirt on is not the sexiest thing I've ever seen. They're all way too skinny. They're like somewhere between a boy and a man, obviously at 15, but nobody's like filled out yet. And I'm like, Oh my God, you guys should all have a $50 Taco Bell order and hope it works out. I hope you gain weight at some point. Um, but that was a lot of street cred. We took the boat out two days in a row.

[00:16:30] [SPEAKER_02] That's fun.

[00:16:31] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. My brother Joe drove it. My sister-in-law, Amy, super fabulous. She's in a bunch of the videos, the podcast video. We did the promo video from the boat.

[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_02] Fun.

[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_01] My sister, Kate, Claire is working. I can't remember. Bridge.

[00:16:45] [SPEAKER_03] You?

[00:16:46] [SPEAKER_01] Bridge. Ah, shit. I'll find out. So if you had the Ozarks, go get gas from my nieces. They're the twin boat gas girls.

[00:16:53] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah.

[00:16:54] [SPEAKER_01] They get, they work on tips. They have a wonderful hourly pay though. I was like, you make that much an hour plus tips?

[00:17:01] [SPEAKER_02] That's crazy.

[00:17:02] [SPEAKER_01] I sure didn't wait in tables. No. No, but boat gas, not cheap. If you're preparing for summer. It's bad. Anyway, it was a great, oh, and then my Patrick's graduation, little Pat, my God, he's my godson. Oh, fun. Yeah, I did not attend the ceremony. Apparently in a lot of places they're cutting those back to grandparents and parents only. Thank fucking God. Because I don't want to sit there. His didn't take as long as we all thought. No. But I just want to go to the party. I'm coming with money, cash in hand as a present.

[00:17:32] Yeah.

[00:17:34] [SPEAKER_01] And Patrick's the autistic one. So it was cool. Oh, that's great. It was much more difficult.

[00:17:39] [SPEAKER_00] What's he going to do?

[00:17:40] [SPEAKER_01] He's going to go to University of Missouri, St. Louis. They have a program for autistic and other special needs kids where they kind of, but then the more they were describing the program, I'm like, well, I should have been in that.

[00:17:52] [SPEAKER_02] What? What?

[00:17:53] [SPEAKER_01] I'm serious. Because they're like, okay, with the special, well, at least with him, they focus on like, what are your strong suits? What are your weak suits? Yeah. Why didn't someone do that? I would have freely told you, do not put me in math. Do not put me in science. It will go nowhere. It will end quickly and it'll be sloppy and horrible and everybody will be sad. I like history. I like art. I like, you know.

[00:18:16] [SPEAKER_02] Sloppy math. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

[00:18:18] [SPEAKER_01] Everything they're doing. So funny. You know, they have people check in on him to make sure he's doing stuff. Someone should have checked in on me. Make sure I'm not just sitting here. Being the boss of yourself. Yeah. I don't need to be the boss myself. So anyway. All right. It was a great weekend. It was just a lot. That's fun. Like, I don't think. And then Kansas City Airport. I just love it. I flew out of there on Southwest. I can't even talk about how fucked up. They have fucked up everything so badly on Southwest.

[00:18:47] [SPEAKER_01] Great news is no judgment at 520 from the Kansas City bartender when I said, can I get a McUltra? Oh, nice. Yeah. Sure. Because I'm like, I want one beer.

[00:18:58] [SPEAKER_02] Yeah.

[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_01] So I can fall asleep on this plane and pretend I'm not on this plane. Pretend I'm on Delta. Pretend I'm on Delta.

[00:19:05] [SPEAKER_02] That requires hard liquor.

[00:19:07] [SPEAKER_01] That beer is called the pretend I'm on Delta beer. Yeah. No judgment. It was hopping. The airport's hopping. It's a beautiful new airport. They're getting ready for World Cup games because they get to host some. Oh, right. They got signs. They welcome things. Great. Some of them look like a sorority did it. I do think we could go one grade higher. Could we get a little more? Sure. These decorations are very adorable because they appear homemade. Oh.

[00:19:37] [SPEAKER_01] Which is very sorority-y, but nevertheless, they've made it very FIFA friendly, if you will. Oh, that's great. Let's call Holly Bobby. Okay. And you know what? I'm going to ask him what Timothée Chalamet has also been in. I know that's not his name. It made me laugh though when my brother said it seriously. Chalet.

[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_03] Okay. Shakira, Shakira, Shakira. She's a great woman.

[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_01] I know there's so much breaking news on Shakira, Shakira, but hold on. I wanted to tell you this because it would make you laugh. You know how I always say I don't know who these famous people are and then your job is to tell me. Well, I was talking to my brother, Patrick, about the Knicks-Cavs game last night. And I said, I just don't care about when they show all the celebrities on the sidelines. Like it's just because they're the ones that drive up ticket prices too.

[00:20:42] [SPEAKER_01] So it makes it just makes me mad. And Patrick goes, yeah, I don't care about those seeing those people. And I still don't even know who Timothy Chalet is.

[00:20:53] [SPEAKER_04] Timothy Chalet. He got the name wrong too.

[00:20:56] [SPEAKER_01] I know he totally got the name wrong. And I go, all I know is he played Bob Dylan in the biopic of Bob Dylan. He goes, yeah, never going to see that. That's a hard no. What else? I go, I don't know. I'll have to ask Bob.

[00:21:09] [SPEAKER_04] He's done a lot of stuff. He's been nominated for an Oscar three times. Oh, my God. Yeah.

[00:21:15] [SPEAKER_03] Wow.

[00:21:16] [SPEAKER_01] Is there anything I would know? Or is it all esoteric and weird?

[00:21:19] [SPEAKER_04] No. He had that big hit, Willy Wonka. They rebooted it a couple years ago.

[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_01] Oh, yeah.

[00:21:25] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah.

[00:21:25] [SPEAKER_01] Okay. All right. That counts.

[00:21:28] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. And then he was just nominated this year for Marty Supreme, which was a big hit around the world. The people knew. And before he was dating Kylie Jenner, he was dating Madonna's daughter.

[00:21:40] [SPEAKER_01] Lourdes. Lourdes. Oh. Yes. You know what's weird is they call her Lourdes, but in Catholic version, that would be, it's Lord, not this. It's Lords, not Lord-is. Our Lady of Lords, not Lourdes.

[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_04] Weird. So interesting. Madonna who questions, you know, the Catholic Church when she was raised Catholic and Italian, right? Right. So, but she names your daughter Lord then?

[00:22:07] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah.

[00:22:07] [SPEAKER_04] Like, does she not the Catholic Church or does she?

[00:22:10] [SPEAKER_01] Right. I think she feels the way I do. It depends on the day. And it depends on what, it depends on what little dirty secrets are being unveiled or not being unveiled.

[00:22:21] [SPEAKER_03] Interesting. Yeah.

[00:22:22] [SPEAKER_01] All right. What do you got? So let's talk about Shakira for a moment because this is big breaking news. Because I said a long time ago on this podcast, Shakira, her hips don't lie, but maybe her tax returns do lie. And that turns out not to be true.

[00:22:37] [SPEAKER_04] I know. I really like her and I like her music. And I'm so glad that she was, you know, proven innocence. And now they have, the Spanish government has to pay her $64 million.

[00:22:49] [SPEAKER_03] Oh.

[00:22:50] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. Maybe she could hire some people that could build better sets for when she's on the road so she doesn't have to cancel things because they're collapsing.

[00:22:59] [SPEAKER_04] Now, maybe she shouldn't bust the money in a stage. That would be very good. Can you tell him a little sec, by the way? What? Can you tell him a little sec?

[00:23:09] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. I hear your cold in your voice. Okay.

[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_04] All right.

[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_01] You can't try to hide it anymore. And you had to get up very early. Why?

[00:23:18] [SPEAKER_04] We were taking with John Travolta today.

[00:23:20] [SPEAKER_01] Did he wear his little beret to prove he's a director, which Joy Behar called out and I appreciate it.

[00:23:28] [SPEAKER_04] He wore his beret and he looks good. I mean, he's somebody, right?

[00:23:32] [SPEAKER_01] I mean, come on. Wow. That's Scientology kicking in. Clean living.

[00:23:38] [SPEAKER_04] Mm-hmm. Okay. Change the subject.

[00:23:42] [SPEAKER_02] This podcast is going to get blocked.

[00:23:45] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. I'm terrified of them. I don't, I would never be Leah Remini. I would never do that. She's very, very ballsy. I would never, they'll be in your trash can by tomorrow. I don't want them on the property.

[00:23:56] [SPEAKER_04] Mm-hmm. Oh my God. We've started this podcast off or this segment off with two stories about religion. Let's move on. Okay.

[00:24:02] [SPEAKER_01] Let's move on. Well, you tell me what's going on then. Because I don't know any, I can't even find a show to watch. I'm all out doing, it's watching sports lately.

[00:24:11] [SPEAKER_04] Oh my God. We watched that movie last night on Netflix, The Crash, about that influencer and how she got convicted of killing her boyfriend. Yes. And her friend. Did you see it?

[00:24:24] [SPEAKER_01] No. No.

[00:24:25] [SPEAKER_04] Is it good? It's really good. It's like a quick 90 minutes, but like, I'm like, what are the children doing out there in high school?

[00:24:34] [SPEAKER_03] Right.

[00:24:34] [SPEAKER_04] In early college. My God. I'm like sheltered with, you know, what they're doing.

[00:24:42] [SPEAKER_02] They're doing bad things. They're doing mushrooms. They're doing microdosing.

[00:24:46] [SPEAKER_01] Oh, they're all into microdosing. I know.

[00:24:49] [SPEAKER_04] So, Bill. They're crashing their cars into buildings because they're mad at their boyfriend. And their boyfriend dies.

[00:24:57] [SPEAKER_02] It's not funny. It's kind of funny.

[00:25:01] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. Well, there's a lot of online bullying as we know. Right. Yeah. Everybody, I thought we'd move on from that by now, but nobody has, I guess. It's still happening. Tell me anything.

[00:25:13] [SPEAKER_04] Okay. Okay. So that leads me into the crash. That leads me into like what the children are doing. Okay. Have you watched the final season of Euphoria?

[00:25:22] [SPEAKER_01] Well, I probably wouldn't do that because I never saw a beginning series. I don't even know what that is. What's Euphoria?

[00:25:31] [SPEAKER_04] It's on HBO Max and it stars Zendaya, Jacob Elordi, Sweeney, Eric Gaines, and I have a friend Cindy Sweeney. Who's Zendaya? And Hunter Schaefer.

[00:25:42] [SPEAKER_01] Oh, are these all, I don't know a lot of those people you just named. Is everybody like under 30?

[00:25:49] [SPEAKER_04] Yes. Except for Eric Dane. You know, he passed away from ALS. Oh, please. So he's Zendaya's dad on the series.

[00:25:55] [SPEAKER_02] He's the greatest, he's the greatest anatomy guy.

[00:25:56] [SPEAKER_01] Who is Zendaya? Is that the lady from the Olivia Newton-John song?

[00:26:01] Oh, my God.

[00:26:03] [SPEAKER_03] Zanadu. I wasn't even born with it.

[00:26:05] [SPEAKER_02] Zanadu. Zanadu. Zanadu. Wow. This is all going downhill so fast. You're in charge of her, Holly Bobby.

[00:26:18] [SPEAKER_01] Zanadu. What does, so is Zanadu Zendeha a famous person?

[00:26:23] [SPEAKER_04] Zanadu. Zanadu. It's an Emmy Award with Best Actress for the Olivia. She's like in her 20s and she's like supposedly engaged to Tom Holland because they are in a Spider-Man movie series together.

[00:26:35] [SPEAKER_01] Is she pretty? Like what's her calling card?

[00:26:37] [SPEAKER_04] She's stunning. She's beautiful. She's young. She's smart. She's really good. She's a really good actress. She starred in the Doom movies. Do you know?

[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_03] Oh, with Timothy Chalamet.

[00:26:48] [SPEAKER_01] Oh, wonderful. Well, me and Patrick should watch that together then.

[00:26:53] [SPEAKER_04] You should. She had a big year with Robert Pattinson in April and the movie is called Petrala. And you know what? Do you know who Robert Pattinson is? No.

[00:27:03] [SPEAKER_03] Oh my God. He's a vampire. He's a vampire man. He's the star of the Twilight. Yes.

[00:27:06] [SPEAKER_01] I didn't see those. I did read all the Anne Rice books though.

[00:27:11] [SPEAKER_03] It doesn't tell me. It's true.

[00:27:14] [SPEAKER_01] Well, if it wasn't for Anne Rice, vampires wouldn't be even minorly fucking popular. So let's give Anne where credit is due. Oh my God.

[00:27:23] [SPEAKER_04] All right. God bless Anne Rice and her vampire suit. Okay.

[00:27:30] [SPEAKER_01] So did Euphoria just release their final season? Is it very exciting for everyone?

[00:27:35] [SPEAKER_04] It's very exciting. It's very exciting. And I'm not going to do any spoiler alerts, but the finale is coming up in like two weeks. Oh, wow. So everybody's waiting for that. So it was the last episode. It's been on for three years.

[00:27:47] [SPEAKER_01] Oh, okay. I was going to say, well, is it like just all sex driven? Like, you know, like a soap opera? I think so.

[00:27:55] [SPEAKER_04] It's a really hard soap opera and a dark soap opera. Oh, wow. You know, they're all fucking, they're all doing OnlyFans. They're all doing drugs. Oh my God. They're doing the mushrooms. They're dealing drugs. Oh. They're taking drugs. They're going to rehab. And they go back to the drugs.

[00:28:08] [SPEAKER_01] Well, here's the problem, Bob, for me. That all sounds kind of interesting, but it's not really interesting until it becomes a dateline and one of them murders another one. Exactly. We, I did watch, I will tell you, I watched The Family Next Door. I'm into Acorn and BritBox now because they're, the actors are just better because they're

[00:28:35] [SPEAKER_01] Europeans and they actually have to go to theaters and perform and do real acting things and they have to go to real schools. You just can't bop into some casting director's office in LA and look cute. I know. That's a huge slam on America. It's a total slam, yeah. But it's deserved. Okay. And you know what? It was, it's a crazy, the family, just if you, Acorn can be part of Amazon, I think. Like, I don't know, my home screen looks like a fucking yard sale of apps and shit.

[00:29:00] [SPEAKER_00] Acorn is a plug-in to Amazon. It's a plug-in to Amazon.

[00:29:04] [SPEAKER_01] I don't even know what that means. I'd pay for all of it. Like, I'm the target lady where they're like, we can make mint off this dumb shit. Mm-hmm. And they do. But if you are looking, if you and Clark are looking for something that's kind of intriguing and weird, it's weird, it's Australian. Right. Usually those things on Acorn are Brit or Scottish or Irish, but this one's Australian, which makes it even weirder.

[00:29:28] [SPEAKER_04] Well, you know who has a new series premiering this Friday on Acorn? It's Brooke Shields. And she's American. Oh! And it's getting good reveals. Yeah, reviews.

[00:29:37] [SPEAKER_01] Wonderful. Okay, well, I think she can act pretty good. I'm not. I like her. I'm just saying, if you watch an entire Brit show on BritBox or Acorn, none of these people are even famous to us. Maybe they are in England or with Great Britain. I don't know. But they can all act. Yeah. Like, even if it's the guy at the butcher shop. Like, they're just, they take it more seriously than we do. They don't produce movie stars. They produce actors. Big difference.

[00:30:05] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah, true.

[00:30:05] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. But no, I would give Brooke Shields a chance. Is it a dark thing? Or is this, if it's some sloppy comedy, I can't do it.

[00:30:13] [SPEAKER_04] It's a dark comedy. It's called You're Killing Me.

[00:30:16] [SPEAKER_01] Okay.

[00:30:16] [SPEAKER_04] And it's in review. So, I'm gonna watch it. She was just on the show, taping with us. And her episode here is Friday. Her show premieres. Okay. I'm gonna check it out. Because I like Brooke Shields. I mean...

[00:30:28] [SPEAKER_01] I like her. Yeah, but I feel like because she was younger, that she should be older than me. And I think we're the same age.

[00:30:39] Oh, really?

[00:30:41] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. But she was famous when she was like 13. So, I think I thought she was probably 17 then. Yeah. Like Blue Lagoon and all that. I didn't understand. We're just throwing these children in these scenes back then. I guess nobody gave a shit. No.

[00:30:54] [SPEAKER_04] Oh my God, Kathy, you're right. She's 60.

[00:30:57] [SPEAKER_01] I know. Wow.

[00:30:58] [SPEAKER_04] Wow. Yeah, and you would think that she was older because you looked up to her.

[00:31:03] [SPEAKER_01] Right. Right. She's 60. That's it. Yeah. It's very weird when you find out somebody you looked up to is actually your age. I cannot... I will go to my own grave going, there's no way Tanya Tucker's only three years older than me.

[00:31:19] Oh.

[00:31:20] [SPEAKER_01] No. She should be 13 or 23 years old because she was... Delta Dawn was when she was 13.

[00:31:26] [SPEAKER_04] I know. We used to... Yep. Yeah. She's 67. Oh my God. We used to sing that song when my dad had his band in the 70s. We'd sing... Wait. It came on the radio. Delta Dawn.

[00:31:39] [SPEAKER_01] What's that? You got old. Could it be a faded rose from days gone by? Yeah. She's wonderful. She rode her horse down Broadway to open her bar and I was there for every goddamn second of it. With a vape pen in hand.

[00:31:59] [SPEAKER_04] Oh yeah. They vape a lot. Do they? Oh, wonderful.

[00:32:02] [SPEAKER_01] The children need to stop that. I mean, if you're going to smoke, smoke cigarettes over vaping is my personal opinion because of the popcorn lung. Yeah. If you're going to do one or the other, yeah. Or get a pipe. Go old, old, old school. Go throwback. Oh my God, Graham. Get a pipe.

[00:32:18] [SPEAKER_02] Shit.

[00:32:18] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. Or dip. If you don't mind if you... Wow. All right, Bobby. We're moving on. Is there anybody else great in the show this week?

[00:32:26] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. Well, there's always great guests. Right. Watch the John Travolta episode. He was great. And we have the cast from me and his daughters and it was really good. But the other thing too that I wanted to say, did you guys talk about Queen News and how it's Sherry's birthday today?

[00:32:42] [SPEAKER_01] Yes. Yes. That's what I said. Every gay bar in Australia went insane yesterday and I would give all the money in the world and you should try to attend. Go drive from Palm Springs to West Hollywood. I would love to be at the Abbey tonight.

[00:32:57] [SPEAKER_04] That would be fun. Maybe I'll just go to the Arenas District tonight. Maybe I can talk Clark into it. I'm sure they're celebrating.

[00:33:02] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. Yeah. Palm Springs is going to be celebrating. Yeah. I would go out. I would love to be in a bar here and I'll share music all night long tonight. That'd be so fun.

[00:33:12] [SPEAKER_04] But we're going to Arenas tonight to celebrate, share, okay?

[00:33:17] He's in.

[00:33:18] [SPEAKER_01] Great. He's in? Great. Send pictures. We'll talk about it next week.

[00:33:22] [SPEAKER_04] All right. I'll report back. Have a good one. Bye. Bye. Thank you.

[00:33:28] [SPEAKER_01] So informed. He's so informed. I know. He knows everything. Oh, I would love to be at the Abbey. Especially because I'm tired.

[00:33:39] [SPEAKER_03] You could probably get there.

[00:33:40] [SPEAKER_01] And the gay boys just lift you up. And the Cher music just lifts you up.

[00:33:45] [SPEAKER_02] Wonderful. And it won't really start rocking until like 10.

[00:33:49] [SPEAKER_01] 11. 11. They don't care if it's a school night. We'll get you on that five o'clock flight. I got you. We're moving into updates, people. Updates? Hold on. Oh, these are my data center updates. Hold on.

[00:34:06] [SPEAKER_02] So much feedback in the team box.

[00:34:09] [SPEAKER_01] This is a funny update. I don't know why this makes me laugh. Waymo!

[00:34:16] [SPEAKER_03] Waymo.

[00:34:18] [SPEAKER_01] There's a cul-de-sac in Atlanta somewhere in a subdivision. And there's like 100 Waymo's stuck in a circle. Nobody can get them out. No one can stop them. And I'm like, what if you have a kid and you're like, honey, don't take your skateboard out right now. There's 9,000 Waymo's stuck in our cul-de-sac circling. Right. And no one can stop it. Right. Because none of us know what to do. You know what I would recommend? Hmm. I mean, maybe this isn't legal. Shoot the tire. Oh, my God. You can't shoot anything in a cul-de-sac in Atlanta.

[00:34:47] [SPEAKER_01] If it's gonna kill you, you can. Yes, you can. Stand your ground. Defense. Oh, my God. Yes.

[00:34:53] [SPEAKER_02] We are not advocating shooting anything on the pub yet.

[00:34:56] [SPEAKER_01] I am. Yeah.

[00:34:58] [SPEAKER_02] Just the death penalty.

[00:35:02] [SPEAKER_01] Well, you're gonna be really happy with another update. Speaking on that note, Waymo's recalling... This is in addition to the ones stuck in the Atlanta cul-de-sac. Okay. Waymo's recalling more than 3,700 self-driving vehicles after officials said a software issue could allow the cars to continue through flooded roads. They're driving into floods. And if you're stuck in it, and they lock you in, if it just goes... And it's automatically locked.

[00:35:31] [SPEAKER_01] I mean, you better have one of those things they show on those late night infomercials that goes poop and pops the window. Because how else are you getting out?

[00:35:39] [SPEAKER_02] The tool.

[00:35:39] [SPEAKER_01] It's the tool. Whatever that... I know I've always wanted to buy one. What does this mean for Nashville? Of course, the Tennessean always has an article because we gotta always bring... There's just gonna be a lot fucking less Waymo's, which I define. Right. They are not working right yet. No. I don't wanna be stuck in a cul-de-sac. God love Atlanta. But... It alarmed many families with children.

[00:36:04] [SPEAKER_03] It alarmed.

[00:36:04] [SPEAKER_01] Very alarming. You should see them all. I mean, it's crazy. 50 cars. 50 cars. This lady was quoted... Came through between... 50. And they're just like a clown circus, like Shriners. They're just going around in a circus.

[00:36:22] Wow.

[00:36:23] [SPEAKER_01] We have small... We have families and small pets and small animals and pets. Getting kids on the bus in the morning, it doesn't feel safe to have this kind of traffic.

[00:36:31] [SPEAKER_03] Around the Waymo's. Traffic.

[00:36:36] [SPEAKER_01] You know what would be funny, but not funny. Not funny, just funny in theory, is to sit there and have coffee on your front porch and watch your kid try to dodge the Waymo's to get to the bus. See if your kid's any good at it. Okay, here's the thing, Bobby. You need to run as fast as you can. You're gonna like this update. I'm...

[00:36:56] Oh my God.

[00:36:57] [SPEAKER_01] And then I serendipitously taped a dateline that had this whole story in it. So, boom, I don't even need to read it to you. The Murda Murders. Oh my God. Yeah. In South Carolina. And my friend, Mandy Matney, was the youngster who did all the work on that and the podcast when nobody gave a shit and nobody knew anything about it. She's originally from Kansas City. I've met her and her husband. Great, great, great.

[00:37:26] [SPEAKER_01] I was so excited to meet somebody smart. I mean, I don't know. I mean, I meet fan people. I don't know if they're smart or not. Right. Most of you termites are very smart. The ones I met, I met people that do crazy smart shit. I always say that to... Well, I mentioned it to Bert. I'm like, my fan base is... A little smarter. Just a little smarter. He laughs. Like, he's like, oh, fuck, I know it, Kathleen. That's all I have to hear from my parents is why can't I be more like you? Kathleen Madigan. Why can't your act be a little cleaner and a little shorter?

[00:37:56] [SPEAKER_01] Like, see how short this joke is? And then they show him jokes of mine. Stop it. No, he filmed them one morning at breakfast. That's so funny. And I said, well, my mom's favorite comedian is Bobby Lee, and I'm the furthest thing you're ever going to get from Bobby Lee. And I like Bobby. True that. A lot. Yeah. And my dad's was Bobby Slayton, so there you go. Everybody is just sitting on it. Everybody's got a lot of Bobbies in their life. Yeah. Bobby Slayton, Bobby Lee. But anyway. Bobby Bobby. Bobby. Mandy Matney did the podcast.

[00:38:24] [SPEAKER_01] And then, of course, everyone stole all of her shit. It's so comedians get mad about other comedians stealing jokes. At least that's something we can kind of address one on one. Mano wa mano. We can kind of. But if you're Mandy Matney and Dateline. I mean, I love Dateline or or or or or 2020 or Frontline, which I actually think is medicine for the cats. It is. Um, for fleas and ticks. Whatever these shows are. The fucking today show. All of it.

[00:38:53] [SPEAKER_01] They just compile all of her work and present it as their own. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You could compile my stuff, but at least you need to say where you got it from. And they just don't anymore. They don't. Not everything. Nothing's proprietary. Nobody gives a shit. Sue me if you feel like it. Whatever.

[00:39:10] [SPEAKER_02] Sue me if you feel like it.

[00:39:11] [SPEAKER_01] So that podcast, the trial, all of it. Well, he's been given a new trial.

[00:39:16] [SPEAKER_02] Which I think is just shit.

[00:39:18] [SPEAKER_01] He's been given the right to a new trial.

[00:39:19] [SPEAKER_02] Okay.

[00:39:20] [SPEAKER_01] Now the prosecution needs to decide, are they going to spend the money on a new trial?

[00:39:25] [SPEAKER_02] Oh, I never thought of that.

[00:39:26] [SPEAKER_01] He's going to be in jail for the rest of his life anyway.

[00:39:29] [SPEAKER_02] Right.

[00:39:30] [SPEAKER_01] Say, I don't know. South Carolina is so, so, so, so, so old school. I think the right thing to do is to have another trial and get justice for the mom and this boy who were killed. Yeah. But I can also understand the cost, but I don't believe in government anymore. However much you saved won't go to a good place anyway. You're all just stealing shit and it's just, let's, let's spend it on something I can see and something that's tangible.

[00:40:00] [SPEAKER_01] Okay. Versus let's say when, let's say the new trial is going to cost $5 million. Okay. Let's say they keep the $5 million.

[00:40:06] [SPEAKER_02] Okay.

[00:40:06] [SPEAKER_01] Where'd that go? We'll never know.

[00:40:09] [SPEAKER_03] Well.

[00:40:10] [SPEAKER_01] We're never going to see a result. It's not going to be a new, a new free clinic or, you know, for kids or nothing. It just won't. No. So, here's how he got a new trial.

[00:40:21] [SPEAKER_03] Mm-hmm.

[00:40:21] [SPEAKER_01] The clerk, I forgot, Becky?

[00:40:25] [SPEAKER_02] That's Becky, yep.

[00:40:26] [SPEAKER_01] Is it Becky?

[00:40:27] [SPEAKER_02] Yep. She's been talking a lot.

[00:40:28] [SPEAKER_01] I saw her in real life. There is a dateline about this. It's a two hour one. You can Google it.

[00:40:33] [SPEAKER_02] Put it in the schnotes.

[00:40:34] [SPEAKER_01] Okay, put it in the schnotes.

[00:40:35] [SPEAKER_00] Oh yeah, here it is. Oh.

[00:40:37] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. The county clerk, apparently she had said things to the jury members. Apparently, she didn't show them anything, but she said things. Most of the jurors said whatever she said had no effect on how we voted except one. Okay. But that's all they need. Oh. Okay. But here's what I don't think they're, maybe they haven't counted their chickens on.

[00:41:00] [SPEAKER_03] Mm-hmm.

[00:41:00] [SPEAKER_01] Uh, if there is a new trial, South Carolina does have the death penalty. The first time-

[00:41:06] [SPEAKER_03] Oh, fantastic. Oh, yeah.

[00:41:07] [SPEAKER_01] The prosecution chose not to go for the death penalty because a lot of juries don't feel comfortable doing that. They just want you life in prison. But maybe this time they'll be pissed. I'm going to be so sure. I wonder if Alex, except they call him Alec. Alec.

[00:41:22] Alec.

[00:41:22] [SPEAKER_01] And the way they say that kid, Paul, his name's Paul. Paul Paul. Paul Paul. It sounds like Paul Paul.

[00:41:28] [SPEAKER_02] Because he called him Paul Paul. Paul Paul. He's tugging on everybody's heartstrings.

[00:41:32] [SPEAKER_01] He called him Paul. It's Paul Paul. But it sounds Paul Paul when you have a deep Southern accent.

[00:41:36] [SPEAKER_02] Well, he should still die.

[00:41:41] [SPEAKER_01] I might kill him.

[00:41:43] [SPEAKER_02] Yeah, good. Thank you. Maybe.

[00:41:45] [SPEAKER_01] He's a full-blown sociopath. Yes. Oh, actually, maybe a psychopath. I don't know.

[00:41:50] [SPEAKER_02] How do you kill-

[00:41:51] [SPEAKER_01] Psychopath is worse than sociopath.

[00:41:53] [SPEAKER_02] Your child.

[00:41:53] [SPEAKER_01] Exactly.

[00:41:54] [SPEAKER_02] I mean, come on.

[00:41:55] [SPEAKER_01] And your wife, but your own kid?

[00:41:57] [SPEAKER_02] Yeah.

[00:41:58] [SPEAKER_01] Right. Well, that's your update. We will see. Okay. No matter what, though, he has so many financial crimes that he pleaded guilty to and stuff, he's going to be in prison the rest of his life. So are we going to do this whole trial and spend all this money? But I say, yeah, fucking spend it because whatever else you're spending it on, I never see it. It's got nothing to do with reality. Somebody's taking it. That's how, how, not negative I've gotten as I've gotten older, but realistic. No, just realistic.

[00:42:27] [SPEAKER_02] You're jaded.

[00:42:28] [SPEAKER_01] Jaded. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, I am.

[00:42:31] [SPEAKER_02] Well, here's the other thing. If they convict, if they say he's not guilty, now we've got to find out who did it.

[00:42:39] [SPEAKER_01] Well, there is no one who did it.

[00:42:41] [SPEAKER_02] Right.

[00:42:42] [SPEAKER_01] And he had that guy take the guns and throw them out.

[00:42:44] [SPEAKER_02] Exactly. The guns. Somebody. Hiring a hitman makes sure they're not dumb.

[00:42:49] [SPEAKER_01] Oof.

[00:42:50] [SPEAKER_02] That's a life lesson.

[00:42:51] [SPEAKER_01] His hitman was. Vet your hitman. The hitman wasn't dumb. It's druggie the clown here. Alex was dumb. He should have never gone back to the kennels. He should have never lied. Have the hitman do it. And you act surprised as the next motherfucker that comes along, but he didn't do any of that. No. He went down there and then he did a fake run to his mama's house and then back to the, yeah.

[00:43:20] [SPEAKER_02] Because also he is so arrogant, he didn't think anybody would do anything.

[00:43:23] [SPEAKER_01] Oh no, he's extremely arrogant. Extremely. And the living son is defending him. Wow. I don't know. If your own dad shoots your brother and your mother, maybe you just have to say he didn't do it in your head to not go insane. Maybe. Maybe. I don't know. But maybe not. I don't think, nobody in my family would feel that way. There'd be an Irish pissed offness that would just never, ever, ever end. I'd do everything I could to get in prison to kill you. Oh. Yeah, I would.

[00:43:53] [SPEAKER_01] I'd do everything. Here, I bring you some cupcakes.

[00:43:56] [SPEAKER_02] Specifically. Yep. I don't think you can take baked goods into prison. But who knows with South Carolina?

[00:44:04] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah, if it's for Alec. Alec. Alec. I brought some cupcakes.

[00:44:10] [SPEAKER_02] Then Alec does.

[00:44:11] [SPEAKER_01] Update! This is a throwback, termites.

[00:44:15] [SPEAKER_02] Okay.

[00:44:16] [SPEAKER_01] Remember that lady in America that pretended she was black but she wasn't Rachel Donzzy Donzzy and was some super weird. Well, Canada, you had your own version of that. Stop it. Buffy St. Marie. Oh yeah. She pretended she was a Native American or indigenous people or first nation. First nation. Is that, okay, Canada, there's something learned so we're not staying dumb. Yeah. So here it's Native American or indigenous people. Canada, first nation. Yep. First nations. First nations.

[00:44:46] [SPEAKER_01] Because there's a couple of them. A couple tribes. I would, there's a lot.

[00:44:50] [SPEAKER_02] Yeah.

[00:44:50] [SPEAKER_01] All the tribes that were here were there, a lot of them. Right.

[00:44:53] [SPEAKER_02] Yeah.

[00:44:53] [SPEAKER_01] Especially the western ones. Well, remember, she's been exposed but she's 85 I think. Yeah, she's an 85 year old. In 2019 she was awarded an honorary doctorate of law degree from the University of Toronto that has all been stripped away. It's all gone. But she didn't just say, this is the problem. She didn't just say, oh, I'm part first nations.

[00:45:22] [SPEAKER_01] She wore the full, you know, costume. This is also a bad. Oh, what do you call it? Not that's the wrong word but, you know. It's the traditional. The Indian traditional garb and from head to toe. Yep. Terco, you know, the whole, everything you can imagine. And she took a lot of benefits from that and it was all bullshit.

[00:45:44] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah.

[00:45:44] [SPEAKER_01] I know she's 85 but you don't get to keep all that. I agree. Nope. Um.

[00:45:51] [SPEAKER_03] It's horrible. This is great.

[00:45:53] [SPEAKER_01] Great update. Great, great, great, great, great. I so wish I was in Italy this summer. I told you guys the Colosseum's gonna start showing movies. I'm not sure how I feel about in, in Rome, the real Colosseum, the original one. I'm not sure I feel about that because I think, ah, are we gonna fuck up the Colosseum? But whatever, they've figured it out. And, ah, this summer, I loved the movie Gladiator. Okay.

[00:46:21] [SPEAKER_01] However you feel or do not feel about Russell Crowe, it's fine. Um, they're gonna show Gladiator.

[00:46:28] [SPEAKER_02] In the Colosseum?

[00:46:30] [SPEAKER_01] Yep. Ah. Oh. On, on, uh, July's third and fourth as a special screening of the city's on-air, open-air opera season this summer. That's so good.

[00:46:40] Gladiator.

[00:46:40] [SPEAKER_02] Ah. Wonderful.

[00:46:41] [SPEAKER_01] And, um, they're gonna have a live opera orchestra and chorus. Yes. Also performing Hans Zimmer and Lisa Giraldo's full score, the score of the movie, will be played by a live orchestra. Oh. Oh. Wonderful. Two shows, Friday the third and Saturday the fourth, both starting at local, 9 p.m. local. How fucking awesome would that be?

[00:47:08] [SPEAKER_02] That's awesome.

[00:47:09] [SPEAKER_01] And, it's a giant, giant, it's the biggest movie screen you've ever seen in your life. They can have 6,000 people a night.

[00:47:15] [SPEAKER_02] That's so cool.

[00:47:16] [SPEAKER_01] And, you know, it wouldn't matter where you sat.

[00:47:18] [SPEAKER_02] Well.

[00:47:19] [SPEAKER_01] Well, no, if you get a seat in the back, so what? I mean, you can still see it. The thing is huge. Okay. Um. So good. Just a, a, a, the, uh, update is Shakira was actually acquitted of tax, uh, fraud, and the court ordered Spain to hand her back $70 million. Uh, good for, good for her. They went through all the records.

[00:47:39] [SPEAKER_02] Do you get it in installments? Yeah.

[00:47:42] [SPEAKER_01] Ha ha. Update! You guys know it's climbing season in Everest. You know, I am fascinated. Never gonna do it. No desire to. But I am fascinated with the whole thing going way back to that John Krakauer's book into thin air.

[00:47:57] [SPEAKER_02] Cool.

[00:47:59] [SPEAKER_01] The lines going up to, it's cause May is the thing. And then there's the windows where you can get from base camp four up to Hillary. Step. I think it's called. And then boom, you're at the top. Or that could be base camp. I don't know. When you're close to the top. The line right now.

[00:48:17] Ah.

[00:48:18] [SPEAKER_01] No. Fuck you. No.

[00:48:21] [SPEAKER_02] I've seen them online. It's crazy.

[00:48:22] [SPEAKER_01] A record 492 permits to climb Everest have been issued in 2026. And that's just the climber permits. This does not include support staff, guides, porters, and the people are helping getting these people up there. Oh my God. So at any one time, there's gonna be a thousand people on the mountain.

[00:48:37] [SPEAKER_02] Oh God.

[00:48:38] [SPEAKER_01] Yep. The lines to the summit are likely to have been put up and a thousand people are gonna try to reach the summit. Oh.

[00:48:47] [SPEAKER_02] That's crazy.

[00:48:48] [SPEAKER_01] You don't know if you've only got one or two days to get to the summit and back before it all closes in with weather and you die.

[00:48:55] [SPEAKER_02] So. I think it feels claustrophobic on some level. Yes. With that many people around you. Yes. Yeah.

[00:49:00] [SPEAKER_01] And you are so stuck. You can't go backwards. You can't go forwards. And now you're freezing. And you're not moving. So you're getting colder and colder and colder and colder. I mean, literally not one thing about this appeals to me. Oh, horrible. Um, now in better news about Everest, can you Google, because people really should go watch this. Okay.

[00:49:27] [SPEAKER_01] The documentary about, I know I'm saying this wrong, La Hak Pa Sherpa. Oh, the lady that lived in Jersey or something. She's part time. Yeah. And she works like in a. Shopko. A shit weird food. Like she works at Costco, like something like that.

[00:49:44] [SPEAKER_00] It's a grocery store.

[00:49:45] [SPEAKER_01] A grocery store. Yeah.

[00:49:45] [SPEAKER_00] No, Whole Foods. Remember? Oh, right. It's a Whole Foods.

[00:49:48] [SPEAKER_01] Can you Google the name of that? You guys have to go watch this documentary about this woman. She's insane. I cannot believe Nike or Patagonia or. Well, maybe not like Patagonia or North Face or how does she have to still go work at Whole Foods is beyond me.

[00:50:05] [SPEAKER_02] I got it. What is it? Mountain Queen.

[00:50:08] [SPEAKER_01] Mountain Queen.

[00:50:09] [SPEAKER_02] The summits of La Hak Pa Sherpa. It's on Netflix.

[00:50:14] [SPEAKER_01] Okay. I may need to watch it again.

[00:50:16] [SPEAKER_02] I am.

[00:50:16] [SPEAKER_01] She broke her own record this year.

[00:50:18] [SPEAKER_02] I think we watched this when it came out in 20.

[00:50:21] [SPEAKER_01] I did watch it. Yeah. It was great. She had a record 10 summits.

[00:50:25] [SPEAKER_02] She takes her kids back. Remember?

[00:50:27] [SPEAKER_01] Right.

[00:50:28] [SPEAKER_02] Yeah.

[00:50:29] [SPEAKER_01] She had a record 10 summits. Yeah. Yeah. She's a woman. She's a woman.

[00:50:37] [SPEAKER_02] She's a woman. She looks about 20.

[00:50:39] [SPEAKER_01] Oh, no. Now she's 56. Still 20. She hit. I know. I know. Oh, no, no, no. Sorry. She's 52. There's a 56 year old. A man. The Pali Sherpa guide. Scaled Everest for the 32nd. 32nd time.

[00:50:54] God.

[00:50:55] [SPEAKER_01] On Sunday, smashing his own record set last year. Commie reader Sherpa, 56 years old, reached the peak, the highest in the world, while guiding clients from the 14 Peaks Expedition Company. He is as cute as the devil. The Nepal's Department of Tourism congratulated the Sherpa for achieving the historic milestone and for his contributions to promoting mountain tourism.

[00:51:21] [SPEAKER_01] And these, why don't they have, this guy should give millions of dollars a year. Millions. And so should she.

[00:51:31] [SPEAKER_03] Isn't it?

[00:51:31] [SPEAKER_01] It would cost them nothing. Nothing. For North Face or Patagonia to toss them 2 million bucks and go, you don't have to work at fucking Whole Foods. Right. It's awful. I mean, not that the job is awful. She seemed to like it. But still, what are we doing? We have talent here. You have a purpose. You were given a gift. That's what needs to be focused on. Even if you're not going to climb it again. Right. Teach the people at base camp. Right. Here's how you behave. Here's what you do. Here's all, she has so many valuable skills.

[00:52:00] [SPEAKER_01] She, there are people that do not have all that. No. And maybe their, Whole Foods is their thing. Maybe. But this is, ugh. It's like, I won't say who, when I see very talented singers trying to be actors or other things. Just, you have, you got a gift. Go do it. Yeah. Not that you shouldn't, can't do other things, but, you know what I'm saying. You're screwing with the gods. Ugh. Update!

[00:52:30] [SPEAKER_01] We have a royal family update.

[00:52:33] God.

[00:52:33] [SPEAKER_01] Sarah Ferguson is blaming the royal family for leaking the location of her luxury hideaway. Oh, Sarah, if you were only that important. If you think King Charles and Queen Camilla, however you say her name. Camilla.

[00:52:51] [SPEAKER_03] Oh, wow.

[00:52:52] [SPEAKER_01] She, Camilla's out there sneaking cigs down in margaritas. If you think you're even on their mind. Right. You are so delusional. Mm-hmm. They don't give a fuck where you are. No. What you're doing or who you're doing with, with, she's, she's truly, I bought the book entitled, my cousin Mary told me about, Mary and I love like royal stuff and stuff, just to be, because we can't believe people exist like that. Because you didn't grow up. We're not in love with them. Right. I did not grow up in Canada.

[00:53:18] [SPEAKER_02] Or shoved down your throat.

[00:53:20] [SPEAKER_01] Well, you were too nice. Or celebrate. You were too nice. Canada broke away from England, but you still gave them a seat in parliament, because you're, oh, we're sorry, you can have one guy. No! No, no, no, no, no! No. No!

[00:53:34] [SPEAKER_02] Yeah.

[00:53:34] [SPEAKER_01] You tell them, no, get the fuck out. Right. Go home. But you were like, sorry. Sorry. All of you go home, but sorry, you can stay. You seem like a nice guy. Well, that's it. You just left one fox in the hen house. And now look, you had to grow up, they're on your money.

[00:53:49] [SPEAKER_02] Yep.

[00:53:49] [SPEAKER_01] You had to watch their dumb movies.

[00:53:51] [SPEAKER_02] Lots of shit. Yep. Yep. Yep.

[00:53:53] [SPEAKER_01] Because you didn't finish a job. Lots of babies. You didn't finish a job. You don't have enough mobsters up there to learn how to. No! Finish a job, finish a job. No we don't. Mm-hmm.

[00:54:03] [SPEAKER_02] God.

[00:54:05] [SPEAKER_01] She's really mad. She thinks the royal family is doing that. I got news for you, Sarah.

[00:54:11] [SPEAKER_02] Nobody cares about you, Sarah.

[00:54:12] [SPEAKER_01] Bergy shmergy. We have a data center update. And I did get a team email that I'm going to read next week. It was too hard for me to understand right now, just because I'm tired because of the weekend with me.

[00:54:24] [SPEAKER_03] Because of your life.

[00:54:25] [SPEAKER_01] The weekend was really something. I'm so proud of my nephew though. I can't believe he graduated. It's been quite the journey. And I'm going to post a picture of my brother's two dogs. They're so funny. That whole, it's like a dachshund mutt. And then I don't even know what Eddie is. He's a doodle mutt of some sort.

[00:54:47] [SPEAKER_02] Is he the fluffy one?

[00:54:48] [SPEAKER_01] They're both. Well, the other one's usually fluffy, but he got attacked at daycare by a German pointer. Oh my God. So they had to shave him to fix the wounds and shit. Uh, he's like a weird, Scooter's like a weird dachshund mix. Um, anyway, I'm very tired. So I, I'm going to read, there's a youngster who wrote a thing about, uh, the data, the better side of data centers. And I think I, I'm open to hearing all sides, but it, uh, it was a lot to cover him at eight o'clock this morning.

[00:55:19] [SPEAKER_01] So the Missouri town that I'm very proud of Festus, they fired the whole city council that voted for this data center. Okay. But the problem is the data center is still going forward. Because it was all done in secret. They approved it all. Just like this fucking tunnel here. Yeah. Nobody voted on anything. Nobody got a notification. Nobody got shit. Right. In Georgia, they are doing eminent domain and taking those people's houses. And I love it when a teen.

[00:55:44] [SPEAKER_02] Is that the kid on TikTok you were showing me?

[00:55:46] [SPEAKER_01] She's, she's on Instagram and TikTok. She's like maybe 14. I love it when people that age get mad because they're like, are you serious? You can't do this. Like, they're just gonna come and take our house. Yeah. But then they fire off facts like they're never dumb. Like the 13, 14 year old girls, it's sometimes the cadence and the way they talk makes them sound like they could be, um, kind of a moron, but they're not. They actually know shit.

[00:56:15] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah.

[00:56:15] [SPEAKER_01] And this girl, whatever. But the Missouri one, I'm very proud. It's a $6 billion data center. But so far it's so, okay, the, the city council people that voted yes for it in secret, never told anybody, the whole town voted them out of a job. Fine. Great. I do like that. But guess what? They already got their payout, whatever that was. Right. They don't give a shit. Their council job, which paid probably $32,000 a year, they don't give a shit about that. It's, it's moving forward.

[00:56:43] [SPEAKER_01] How do you stop it?

[00:56:45] [SPEAKER_02] I don't know.

[00:56:46] [SPEAKER_01] I don't either. It's horrible. Here's the guy who stopped it. Mervyn.

[00:56:50] [SPEAKER_03] Mervyn?

[00:56:51] [SPEAKER_01] In love with Mervyn. I found my spirit animal. He's 86 years old. That's all right. Great. His name's Mervyn Rodabaugh. That's cool. Listen to him. Uh, he's 86. He's farmed the same land in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania for over six days. His mother died in his arms in a barn on that property. He has milked cows there for 51 years. Last year, data center developers offered him 60 grand per acre for his 261 acres.

[00:57:20] [SPEAKER_01] The total package, um, was worth more than whatever that math is. He said no. Instead, he sold the development rights to Lancaster Farmland Trust for just under $2 million, guaranteeing his land will never ever be used for any other purpose than farming forever. His reason was simple. He did not hesitate. I am not interested in destroying my farms. That's the way, uh, these two farms will be destroyed.

[00:57:50] [SPEAKER_01] He walked away from over $13 million because some things are not for sale.

[00:57:54] [SPEAKER_03] That's great.

[00:57:54] [SPEAKER_01] Now, I know a lot of people are going to say, Kathleen, and all of you, but not, not really because the children are on my side too. Everybody's saying this is going to be progress. We got to let it happen. Do we? Not data center. Is this like the industrial revolution where we have to let a factory come in? I don't think so. I don't think so either. I think this is bullshit. And I think we could stop it. And I, I've never attended a protest in my life.

[00:58:20] [SPEAKER_01] The only one, the only one I really want to go to ever is if they bring prohibition back. I'm totally going to that. Um, so that guy said no. Uh, one of the latest projects is Conway, Arkansas. It's a massive 336 acre, 300,000 square foot data center costing over a billion dollars. It's shrouded in secrecy. Residents aren't even allowed to know who's building it. Okay.

[00:58:44] [SPEAKER_01] The developer is ForgeLite Ventures acting on behalf of an unnamed Fortune 100 company. Uh, over a hundred residents showed up at a meeting demanding for transparency. It's, guys, it's already in motion. That's the problem. Right.

[00:59:01] [SPEAKER_02] You can't pull all that back once.

[00:59:02] [SPEAKER_01] So many shows, so many people showed up they couldn't even fit in the room. The room only held 80. Um, Americans are just expected to be quiet and take it. You don't get to know what's going on in your own town. How did we get here? We got here because of apathy. Yes. And I, and I can absolutely understand that. Cause I don't get up and I don't go to shit. I'm only home two, three days a week. I, I don't, I can't go to a city council.

[00:59:30] [SPEAKER_00] But you're doing it.

[00:59:31] [SPEAKER_01] I did all that in journalism school. I attended every single meeting in the city of St. Louis and Illinois, Southern Illinois, because I had to do it for college journalism, blah, blah, blah. But they're real boring.

[00:59:42] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah.

[00:59:43] [SPEAKER_01] Truth be told. Well, that's why I was like, I don't want to do this for a living. Mm-hmm. I'm bored. I'm falling asleep in some cable contract meeting. Ugh. Ugh. There's math involved. And the blues are on. Hello. And it's beer time. It's seven o'clock.

[00:59:58] [SPEAKER_02] Yeah. AM or PM. Exactly. Um. They're also so monstrous. Like, what if we were reading about the other day about, um, oh, Six Flags in Dallas. The power went out. Oh, there's a. And those kids had to walk down a roller coaster. A roller coaster. Because the data center.

[01:00:21] [SPEAKER_01] There's one girl in the video. Yeah. Because there's a power outage. Yeah. Because the data center. So your roller coaster stopped. Nobody would ever think of that. No. There's a line of the kids. It's all kids, right? Mm-hmm. Well, you know, teenage. And there's one that's me. She's holding on to the side of the thing. The other kids, like, you know, my nephews would just be kind of walking down. Yeah. There is a walkway. I don't care. No. I don't care if there's a walkway. No. I still think I'm going to die. Yeah. Um. It's worth mine. Yeah.

[01:00:51] [SPEAKER_01] Well, I don't know. Just saying. I think it needs a goat. Yeah. This is how I feel. If you. There is one. I googled Davidson County. Mm-hmm. And then I googled the Ozarks. Which is where you live. The great part about the Ozarks is so hilly, they're probably going to. I don't see it. And there wouldn't be enough employees. Well. We're going to talk about that next week because I have a different article, but I didn't have time for it this week about Kevin O'Leary lying. Kevin O'Leary lying. The shark tank guy. Yeah. He's totally lying about the amount of jobs it's going to provide.

[01:01:19] [SPEAKER_01] It will provide the amount he quotes for a specific time. Right. And then they will fucking leave. Like the fracking guys. Do not. Ugh. That's how I feel about all of it.

[01:01:31] [SPEAKER_02] Oh, baby cat woke up.

[01:01:34] [SPEAKER_01] Baby cat, that's a goat. She doesn't care.

[01:01:38] [SPEAKER_02] No.

[01:01:38] [SPEAKER_01] She is interested when I play animal noises out of my phone. Oh. Like a puma or a cheetah.

[01:01:44] [SPEAKER_02] Yeah.

[01:01:45] [SPEAKER_01] And then she comes to the phone and looks to see if it's in the phone. Mm-hmm. And then she gets confused and gives up. As I would. It takes three seconds. Yep. Confusion. Holy shit, they found it. I have so many tour on stories this week too. It has started, America. Already? It started and it is started before Memorial Day. That's what's even crazier. We are off to a very early jump start. This summer is going to be if we have to think about data centers and make our heads hurt,

[01:02:14] [SPEAKER_01] at least we can go to the tour ons. Yeah. This is crazy. The first wolf to enter the Sequoia National Park in more than a hundred years in California. And they've tagged him so they know it's her, him, her. She was the first wolf spotted in LA County, but she's gone into the park. Oh. It's so great. I mean, and then people are like, Kathleen, why do you want to bring back these dangerous animals? Because that's the ecosystem that was here. Right.

[01:02:42] [SPEAKER_01] And I think during COVID, when everything started coming out, I loved every minute of, but I am an animal person.

[01:02:47] [SPEAKER_03] Right.

[01:02:48] [SPEAKER_01] And my brother's backyard at Pat's graduation party, a coyote just went sauntering, and Patrick has a cat. It was free from a park. Whatever.

[01:02:57] [SPEAKER_02] Free cat.

[01:02:59] [SPEAKER_01] Bruce, after Bruce Wayne, because the boys named him when they were little. And Bruce is a killing machine. But that coyote, coyote wins. And. True. Patrick's like, well, I don't, I said, let it, just let it go. But just know Bruce is out there. Right. I mean, I've only seen one here in Nashville. Coyote? Yeah. It was about, I got up really early, like 4 a.m. to go get a 6 a.m. flight. And it sauntered at daylight. Right. Here at your house? Yeah.

[01:03:30] [SPEAKER_01] I don't, I thought, I'm just glad the cat's worn out. But I think at this age, they're big enough to, they know, if they were kittens, they're toast. They know what to do. But anyway, the wolf is there. Wow. She's gone into the park. Yay, yay, yay. Holy shit, they found it. Rare black cat spotted in Andes Mountains. It hasn't been seen in forever. And it looks like a big black house cat.

[01:03:59] [SPEAKER_01] It's, again, a trail cam. The dark coat is a result of melanism and genetic condition. So it basically looks like a black panther, but way bigger than a house cat, but not nearly as big as a panther.

[01:04:11] [SPEAKER_02] Oh.

[01:04:12] [SPEAKER_01] Uh-huh.

[01:04:14] [SPEAKER_03] Cool. This, uh, hold on.

[01:04:19] [SPEAKER_01] Well, it was kind of a dud on my part, but I liked the picture. I got suckered in by that. And they haven't seen one of these in a thousand years. All right, we're going to Turan's. Oh my God.

[01:04:32] [SPEAKER_02] I can't believe there's that many.

[01:04:33] [SPEAKER_01] Punch the monkey in Japan. We're all on board. Punch is doing real good. I keep up with his day to day. Mm-hmm. There's a camera on him if you want to go find it. There's also a camera on that snake den in Colorado that I can't, a live cam, I just can't even get over. Yeah, I don't even understand how you can watch that. No. Well, because I like watching snakes from afar. I'm fascinated by it, but I'm terrified of them. Two Americans were arrested after a 24-year-old climbed into the monkey enclosure in Ikakawa City.

[01:05:03] [SPEAKER_01] They tried to get, they dressed up as emojis and tried to get close to Punch. They wanted a picture with Punch.

[01:05:10] [SPEAKER_02] Stop it.

[01:05:11] [SPEAKER_01] No.

[01:05:11] [SPEAKER_02] Oh my God.

[01:05:12] [SPEAKER_01] No. A costume with an emoji face mask. I, they got in the thing. They've been arrested. I, I just can't even, what? That's ridiculous. What is, it scared the shit out of him.

[01:05:27] [SPEAKER_02] Yeah.

[01:05:28] [SPEAKER_01] He didn't know what was going on.

[01:05:29] [SPEAKER_03] I'm sure.

[01:05:30] [SPEAKER_01] Right.

[01:05:31] Yeah.

[01:05:31] [SPEAKER_01] Um, here's another tour on. People are dumb. This one. A New Zealand tourist. Okay. First of all, because my dad did personal injury law for a time. Okay. He did everything. Criminal law and personal injury, blah, blah, blah. So on, so on. Orton was got. He always told us never dive in to any body of water that's, we'll really just stop there.

[01:06:02] [SPEAKER_01] Period. Don't ever, don't ever dive into anything. No. A pool, a lake, a river, the ocean, because you don't know what lies beneath the surface. And in a pool, the problem is kids do it drunk and they don't understand one end is two feet, four feet. The other end is eight. Right. And you're going to become a paraplegic. Right. And then what I would say, I don't really believe all that. He'd bring pictures from files from work home and show us people in wheelchairs. That had done that.

[01:06:30] [SPEAKER_01] Just so you dive, cliff diving in lakes is a big thing and you dive and you don't know that there's a log floating just two feet. Right there. Right. And boom, your head hits it and boom, your net breaks. Well, this idiot, a New Zealand tourist dives head first into the Trivi Fountain in Rome.

[01:06:47] [SPEAKER_03] Oh my God.

[01:06:49] Oh my God.

[01:06:50] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah.

[01:06:52] Ooh.

[01:06:52] [SPEAKER_01] Now, Rome is calling for harsher penalties and tighter security to protect the iconic landmark. It's like one of the most famous fountains in Rome. And he dove into it. Oh my God. And the picture of him, he looks hammered. I don't know. He's 30 years old. Just saying. The footage starts off innocuously enough with two girls snapping selfies in front of the 18th century pool. Then all of a sudden, a 30 year old man strides up to the edge and jumps head first, wiped fully clothed in jeans, a long sleeve shirt, as well as shoes and socks.

[01:07:20] [SPEAKER_02] Well.

[01:07:22] [SPEAKER_01] I mean.

[01:07:24] [SPEAKER_02] People are stupid.

[01:07:25] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. The Italians are stupid. The long haired hellion. Who writes those words together anymore? The long haired hellion then swims and wades back and forth through the ancient basin's pristine waters, at one point even performing the backstroke. Fat app authorities told the human penny to get out, but to no avail, as he continues to frolic in the synthetic spring.

[01:07:51] [SPEAKER_01] He was fined $582 for the stunt and banned from returning to the attraction. Wow. Somebody said that amount is small change. If it was 5,000 euros, they would think about it for a while. Another fumed immediate arrest. If you don't pay, you shouldn't get out. Should have given the fuckwit a month in the slammer, vented one critic. I like fuckwit. Yeah, fuckwit. It's disrespectful. Dude, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. That's funny.

[01:08:23] [SPEAKER_01] Unfortunately, the scenic Trevor Fountain, made famous by Federico Fellini's classic film La Dulce Vita, has become a cesspool of often ill-behaved tourists over the years. Here's another tour on this guy in Hawaii. So many. This fucking guy. It was a monk seal, and he threw a giant rock at it.

[01:08:48] [SPEAKER_02] Oh, God. I know.

[01:08:49] [SPEAKER_01] He missed, I think. It seems like he missed.

[01:08:53] [SPEAKER_02] That's horrible.

[01:08:54] [SPEAKER_01] And everybody on the beach was like, you're a dick, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, fuck you, fuck you. And he goes, I'm rich. I don't care. Find me. Okay, that's the mark of a sociopath.

[01:09:01] [SPEAKER_02] Yes.

[01:09:02] [SPEAKER_01] You're herding animals on purpose for no reason. And I don't even know, I wouldn't know a monk seal if one walked in here and handed me a beer. But I'm not going to hurt any kind of seal. I'm not going to hurt anything if I don't have to. Um, this was just... That's awful. Igor Laetivnichuk. Exactly. 38 years old. It was Lahaina Beach. So he's in Lahaina. So he is rich.

[01:09:28] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah.

[01:09:28] [SPEAKER_01] You're probably not over there if you don't have some cash in hand. Um, he said he was trying to protect the turtles.

[01:09:35] [SPEAKER_05] Stop.

[01:09:36] [SPEAKER_01] Well, he had to come up with a defense. And that's what him and the lawyer came up with. Oh, okay. Um, he was going to scare the beloved seal away. I wanted to be resoundingly clear to the public that I didn't intend to injure the monk seal. I wanted to scare the seal away from the hanu he saw there. Apparently, there were two large turtles and one had been knocked off by the rock. Sea lions are very aggressive. No. He said, some woman called him an asshole. And he said, I don't care. Find me.

[01:10:05] [SPEAKER_01] I'm rich. Well, let's do. And let's throw him in jail.

[01:10:09] [SPEAKER_05] Yeah.

[01:10:10] [SPEAKER_01] Here's why I'm throwing him in jail. It's not even because of what you did. It's because of what you did tells me about you.

[01:10:16] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah.

[01:10:17] [SPEAKER_01] You're a dangerous person. If you will do that to an innocent monk seal, what will you do to an actual human? Right. Let's all go back to Jeffrey Dahmer and the frogs in the woods. You want to do that? Let's do that. Because that's how this shit starts. You just let us know you're, no, you're done. That's a fountain again. I don't even know if you'd call this a tour ride. Okay. And I, maybe it's not funny.

[01:10:48] [SPEAKER_03] Maybe it's not. Okay.

[01:10:52] [SPEAKER_01] But on the other hand, it is. A carnival cruise guest. Shut up. 88 years old.

[01:11:00] [SPEAKER_03] Oh! Okay.

[01:11:01] [SPEAKER_01] Some 88 year old, more than likely got on an airplane and flew to wherever carnival we're leaving out of. Sadly died after driving mobility scooter off a pier in the Bahamas.

[01:11:17] [SPEAKER_02] It's kind of funny. Wow. I mean, it's not if they died. They did because they died.

[01:11:22] [SPEAKER_01] Just to see somebody rev it up. Yeah. Maybe this person was critically ill and thought, fuck it, I'm going to do a Thelma and Louise.

[01:11:30] [SPEAKER_02] Yeah.

[01:11:31] [SPEAKER_01] All by myself.

[01:11:32] [SPEAKER_02] Did they have a margarita in their hand?

[01:11:33] [SPEAKER_01] They're not saying it was a woman. They were in port and it's just summer has started America. Summer has began. Here we go. Another carnival incident. A passenger dies after leaping overboard in the Caribbean. Second death to hit the cruise ship line in a week. I might jump off if I was on carnival.

[01:12:00] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah.

[01:12:01] [SPEAKER_01] Probably not jumping off if I'm on Royal Caribbean.

[01:12:04] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah.

[01:12:05] [SPEAKER_01] But I'm also 60, not 20.

[01:12:07] [SPEAKER_03] Right.

[01:12:07] [SPEAKER_01] Right. Right. He jumped overboard. It was a dude. He climbed over the railing of his stateroom and just went for it.

[01:12:18] [SPEAKER_03] It's crazy.

[01:12:19] [SPEAKER_01] People. Summer has been. And it's way too early. We're not. We're a month away from actual summer. I believe the date when it. Yeah. Sporting news. Let's move on to a little sports. Sporting news. And I'll make it easy on the people who don't know sports. Not that anyone gives a shit, but Tiger Woods is back in the United States after seeking treatment in Europe for his 9 million prescription addictions and everybody's like, he's back.

[01:12:49] [SPEAKER_01] He's back. Hey guys, with or without. It's ridiculous. With or without narcotics, Tiger Woods is 50. It's not happening. It isn't it. Whatever dreams you have, it's not happening. No. FIFA.

[01:13:03] [SPEAKER_03] FIFA. FIFA. FIFA.

[01:13:06] [SPEAKER_01] That's all me and my brother do is talk about his ticket prices because he's got to sell his two in Atlanta and then buy two more for Dallas. And it's kind of become a fun game. Do. Are they falling? I saw a big artist. I said to him this morning, ticket prices for World Cup falling, falling, falling. Do you wait them out? Do you wait them out? Or then are they going to be gone? They're trusting on me and I'm.

[01:13:31] [SPEAKER_02] How do you get to where you're comfortable? Get to what you're comfortable spending. And then just. Then just do it. And then just do it. Stop looking. Right.

[01:13:42] [SPEAKER_03] Well.

[01:13:42] [SPEAKER_02] Who does he want to see in Dallas?

[01:13:46] [SPEAKER_01] I believe it's Argentina. Shut up. Playing somebody.

[01:13:49] [SPEAKER_03] I don't know.

[01:13:50] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. Thomas or Kevin. His son, Kevin, really likes soccer a lot. FIFA. For the first time ever, they're going to have a halftime show. They're going to have a halftime show. So great. For the World Cup final. Okay. July 19th. It's going to be at MetLife Stadium. It's a major deviation from the norm. Because they never have one.

[01:14:14] [SPEAKER_03] Mm-hmm.

[01:14:14] [SPEAKER_01] So here's who's performing.

[01:14:16] [SPEAKER_03] Oh boy.

[01:14:17] [SPEAKER_01] Prepare for a lot of people to say no.

[01:14:21] [SPEAKER_03] Okay.

[01:14:23] [SPEAKER_01] Remember, though, before all of you people that want to stay dumb start shooting off at the mouth, soccer is much more of a global event, and I'm never going to call it football, so let's just start with that. It's soccer.

[01:14:38] [SPEAKER_03] Mm-hmm.

[01:14:39] [SPEAKER_01] Than any other sport. Well, maybe tennis. Maybe tennis. More Europeans and South Americans give a shit about soccer than America.

[01:14:48] [SPEAKER_02] Oh God, yeah.

[01:14:49] [SPEAKER_01] Than United States or even Canada. Come on.

[01:14:52] [SPEAKER_02] Canada made the World Cup.

[01:14:54] [SPEAKER_01] I don't even know. There must have been an indoor part.

[01:14:57] [SPEAKER_02] I don't know. There must have been.

[01:14:59] [SPEAKER_01] I played indoor soccer when I was like 14, and then everyone got taller and bigger, and I quit. Yeah. But indoor soccer is a thing in St. Louis. Maybe Canada has, maybe you've snuck into some indoor league. Anyway.

[01:15:09] [SPEAKER_02] The women's team should. The men's team. I don't know.

[01:15:12] [SPEAKER_01] Here's who's going to be the World Cup show. The halftime show. Shakira.

[01:15:17] [SPEAKER_02] Oh.

[01:15:18] [SPEAKER_01] Madonna.

[01:15:20] [SPEAKER_02] Madonna.

[01:15:20] [SPEAKER_01] And K-pop band BTS. That's right. And it's going to be curated by Coldplay's Chris Martin. Well, that'll be good. Shakira. People don't even know. I make fun of her because it's goofy, but I love this. I love her songs when she sings with Wyclef Jean, I'm all in. A lot of it I don't know because a lot of it's in Spanish and stuff, but I love, I do, and everybody, my sister and my sister-in-law were like, Shakira's old.

[01:15:48] [SPEAKER_01] I'm like, old by what standards? What standards, right? So we had to Google it. She's 49.

[01:15:54] [SPEAKER_02] Oh.

[01:15:55] [SPEAKER_01] That's fine.

[01:15:55] [SPEAKER_02] Yes.

[01:15:56] [SPEAKER_01] Who cares?

[01:15:57] [SPEAKER_02] Right. When they say halftime show.

[01:15:59] [SPEAKER_01] It's going to support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund.

[01:16:03] [SPEAKER_02] Well, that's why he's into it.

[01:16:04] [SPEAKER_01] But people are going to go, this is in America, you speak English. Yeah, well, it's being filmed and shown all around the world.

[01:16:13] [SPEAKER_02] When they say halftime, is this like opening ceremonies kind of thing?

[01:16:17] [SPEAKER_01] No, it's actually halftime. Soccer has halftime.

[01:16:21] [SPEAKER_02] No, I know, but there's a lot of games.

[01:16:23] [SPEAKER_01] It's for the final. Oh, the final. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So, I hope she sings Hips Don't Lie.

[01:16:33] [SPEAKER_02] Of course she has to.

[01:16:34] [SPEAKER_01] What's Madonna doing? I don't know these kids.

[01:16:37] [SPEAKER_02] Do like a virgin. Come on.

[01:16:38] [SPEAKER_01] I know, it's my favorite. Do it. No, my favorite is like a prayer. Because there's so much Catholicism in it.

[01:16:48] [SPEAKER_02] You like the burning cross.

[01:16:49] [SPEAKER_01] No, I just can't believe she did it. Like as a rule following Catholic, I'm like, Are you going to have life's plan to do at the gates?

[01:17:01] [SPEAKER_03] No.

[01:17:05] [SPEAKER_01] They're saying we don't want anybody to be outraged. Who could be outraged over entertainment? Like, I don't give a shit.

[01:17:13] [SPEAKER_02] No.

[01:17:13] [SPEAKER_01] There's all this controversy about, you know, should artists or comedians or entertainers or whatever speak their mind? Fine. Go ahead. I don't care. Right. It is not going to affect whether I like your music or not. No. Will it affect whether I go to buy a ticket? It depends on how far you go. If you just express your opinion, no. Right. But if you're attending marches and rallies and you're on TV spewing hate, then no, I'm not going to support you. But that's my own personal decision as a fan. You do you. But you're allowed to do it.

[01:17:44] [SPEAKER_01] You can go and do and say whatever the fuck you want. Right. But there might be ramifications. I've been canceled. No. You face ramifications for what you did. It's called consequence culture. Period.

[01:17:56] [SPEAKER_02] I like it.

[01:17:57] [SPEAKER_01] Yes.

[01:17:58] [SPEAKER_02] By the way, can next week we talk about the UFC match coming?

[01:18:03] [SPEAKER_01] We were going to talk about the UFC match next week. I saw that yesterday. And I'm going to talk about how much tickets are and what's exactly happening because I think people thought it was a joke.

[01:18:11] [SPEAKER_02] I did.

[01:18:12] [SPEAKER_01] It is not a joke.

[01:18:12] [SPEAKER_02] I thought it was a joke.

[01:18:14] [SPEAKER_01] No. No. No. Not a joke. Trump has arranged for the whole lawn to be turned into you. We'll get into it. This made me laugh very hard and I'm very proud of Shaquille O'Neal. He walked to the stage to receive his master's degree from LSU because he promised his mom he would do it. And he made them introduce him as Shaquille, Shaq, I hate Charles Barkley, Shaquille, I hate Charles Barkley, O'Neal.

[01:18:43] [SPEAKER_01] And then he went, he got real small and he was like, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, walking up like he was like sneaking in. It was so funny. That's great. He promised his mom he'd finish his education and he 26 years later.

[01:18:56] [SPEAKER_00] Good man. Finished it.

[01:18:57] [SPEAKER_01] Perfect. Yeah, great. Also, here's what Shaquille's also doing. Then we're moving on from sports. Sports Illustrated and travel and leisure company are investing 40 million to convert historic downtown Baton Rouge, Hilton Capital Center into a sports illustrated resort with backings from NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal. The renovation targets sports fans as families leveraging LSU's legendary football culture and broader SEC fan base. Construction begins early 2027.

[01:19:27] [SPEAKER_01] That's great. Good for them. Good for them. And they're getting ready for me to be a student. I feel it. Exactly. I feel LSU is waiting for me because I will be the only one in my dorm that can afford to go to this place every night and eat whatever the fuck I want.

[01:19:41] [SPEAKER_02] Totally. Who wants shrimp?

[01:19:44] [SPEAKER_01] I'll bring the children. Bring the 20 somethings. Come on. How much can you boys eat? It's OK. And Kat's got it. You want to spend three grand here eating shrimp?

[01:19:54] [SPEAKER_03] Right.

[01:19:55] [SPEAKER_01] I'm very that's you know, because I LSU when when there's home games and when it's on it's on. But Baton Rouge as I'll just say honestly has some very depressed parts of it and poor parts and it's a place to invest in that you think you better be sure. Yeah, that's all I'm saying. You better be sure. Um, one. Well, sorry, I do have one last sports news. Aaron Rodgers is back with the Steelers. Is Pittsburgh happy about this?

[01:20:25] [SPEAKER_01] Yes. Pittsburgh like my friend Bill Crawford, by the way, my friend Bill Crawford, if you love Pittsburgh or the Midwest or Billy Gardel or anything like that, he has a podcast. It's called our Pittsburgh podcast. It is very Pittsburgh centric. But if it's your thing. Yep. It's great. Bill is great. Bill is funny. Bill is smart. Um, and I like to tune in when they get a thing like I probably wouldn't sit there and want honestly and I would tell Bill wouldn't care if I'd say this.

[01:20:55] [SPEAKER_01] I probably wouldn't watch it every week. But when a thing happens to Pittsburgh, like Aaron just they've sealed the deal. He gets 23 million for one year. I want to watch Bill's podcast. You got to tune in. I got to see because it's a thing. But norm people that are more Pennsylvania centric. It's something to see. But anyway, Aaron Rodgers. I'll put it in the schnotes. He's, he's 41 right now. He's no, he's 42. Oh my God. Google his birthday. Let's see when he turns 63. Let's see.

[01:21:24] [SPEAKER_01] He emerged from the darkness. I can't stand him.

[01:21:28] [SPEAKER_02] Oh, right. He's got a wife now. Remember? No matter. Okay. December 2nd, 1983.

[01:21:37] [SPEAKER_01] Okay. So he won't be 43 till December. Oh, during the regular season, he will turn 43. Mm-hmm. As he's preparing for the playoffs. Pittsburgh. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I feel like they're with, I feel like they're one of my girlfriends in our 30s where you're like, I know you like him, but he's the wrong boyfriend for you. You need to get, start fresh and get a better boyfriend.

[01:22:00] [SPEAKER_02] You know why he's not going to? Because Phillip Rivers has the record of doing three starts at age 44. Remember when he came back last year for the goals? Christ almighty.

[01:22:11] [SPEAKER_01] Moving on to news. Pittsburgh, you sit with yourselves and you think, why did you do that? Why? You know what? I know it's hard to say no to a living legend that can win some games and shit, but I think we all saw last year how slow he can be. No, it's time. I know. It's mean. Well, it's like saying, let's redo the upstairs in the house. It's going to be total dog shit for a while. It's going to suck. But you know what? It's going to be way better in the end.

[01:22:37] [SPEAKER_01] So let's get rid of Aaron and start, find our, find our young guy. Young, young, young enough to be his son.

[01:22:47] [SPEAKER_02] Last year on his birthday, he had his receivers, tight ends and running backs to his house to watch film on his birthday. He had a cake. Oh my God. He made them sing.

[01:23:02] [SPEAKER_01] I can't stand his, his, he's so flippant in interviews. Just his human interest. And trust me, every comedian on the planet that has succeeded in some way, shape or form, all we do is radio and TV and radio and TV interviews and newspaper. And I am never not kind to anyone. If, if I have been apologies upfront, but I don't think I have no matter how many times I've been asked the same damn fucking question. I answer it like it's the first time I heard it.

[01:23:27] [SPEAKER_03] Mm hmm.

[01:23:28] [SPEAKER_01] Be nice. That's all you have to do is be nice for 10 minutes. His, his post games press conference. He is such a dick. Hey Kathleen, how'd you get into comedy? Yeah, I, I know. And I just think, I can always tell if they're old or they're young. Are you always funny? Because the young people are like, yeah, so I AI'd you and I know everything about your life. So my one question is, and I'm like, that's awesome. They did that. The old people are like, tell us how you get to be a comedian. Oh my God.

[01:23:58] [SPEAKER_01] Oh my God. You met David Letterman. What was he like? Oh, stop. Um, doot, doot, doot. Clown car coming around. Um, moving on to news.

[01:24:10] [SPEAKER_03] Mm hmm.

[01:24:11] [SPEAKER_01] This is, this is crazy. Mm hmm. If there's, there's two things, well I can't say the one because it'll seem mean, but me and my friend Billy have an ongoing joke about. Yep. Um, an ad on TV. I'm not going to do that. But there's, I will turn it off if I have to turn off the goddamn car to not listen to 1-800-7-Cars-for-kids. Yeah.

[01:24:39] [SPEAKER_01] It's the most annoying goddamn thing. Cars for kids spelled wrong. It is. Okay. Let's not teach the children to spell incorrectly out of the gate. Nope. Well, um, a California judge is pulling the plug on the jingle. 1-800-7-Cars-for-kids. After the judge ruled the Claire, the charities add misled donors who actually benefits, who benefits from their money. Mm hmm. Now I will say as a normal walking around human.

[01:25:09] [SPEAKER_01] Mm hmm. I thought. Walking around. I thought that was just for underprivileged children. Now, did I read the small type on the screen? I absolutely fucking did not because I will not watch the commercial. I hate it. I hate.

[01:25:22] [SPEAKER_03] It's horrible.

[01:25:23] [SPEAKER_01] And it's an earworm. I will break a leg falling over furniture to get to the remote to hit mute to not listen to that commercial.

[01:25:31] [SPEAKER_03] Mm hmm.

[01:25:32] [SPEAKER_01] Well, uh, here's the thing.

[01:25:34] [SPEAKER_02] What happened?

[01:25:35] [SPEAKER_01] They were, and I agree, to Joe General Public, me, saying if you don't, and then I'm like, who has an extra car? It's also like there's ads. Yeah. If you live somewhere like where there's lakes, sometimes there's ads, donate your boat. Who's got a? Well, I guess a lot of people, if the boat breaks and it's just in your front yard and you think, I don't want it. If you donate it, they might come and get it. And this saves you the dump fee. If it's broken, broken. Wow.

[01:26:03] [SPEAKER_03] A dump fee. Broken, broken. That's what we're talking about.

[01:26:05] [SPEAKER_01] Well, okay. Anyway.

[01:26:07] [SPEAKER_03] Mm hmm.

[01:26:07] [SPEAKER_01] I digress. Got it. I digress. Um, the charity ads misled donors. Um, Orange County Superior. Did you hear that, Bobby? Holly Bobby, you still listening? Orange County. Gwen Stefani, Michelle Pfeiffer. We know so many people now. Uh, Superior Court judge, I can't pronounce this person's name, found that the organization violated California advertising and unfair competition laws by failing to disclose that

[01:26:34] [SPEAKER_01] the donations primarily fund Orthodox Jewish programs tied to OORAH, O-O-R-A, Inc., a New Jersey and New York outreach program. Well, I Googled them. Okay. O-O-R-A-H. It's like Orthodox Jewish dancing and... What?

[01:26:54] [SPEAKER_02] Yeah.

[01:26:55] [SPEAKER_01] They're like... Oh. I can't...

[01:26:58] Um...

[01:26:58] [SPEAKER_02] Okay, I'm getting into this.

[01:27:00] [SPEAKER_01] It's Jewish heritage camps and religious outreach.

[01:27:03] [SPEAKER_03] Oh!

[01:27:05] [SPEAKER_01] Um... Oh my God. Yeah. It's very... It's not just like saying a Jewish fund.

[01:27:12] [SPEAKER_03] Right.

[01:27:12] [SPEAKER_01] Like for Lewis. Right. Right. Like it's... A Jewish friend. This is extremely Orthodox, if that's even a thing. I don't know.

[01:27:23] Um... Wow.

[01:27:25] [SPEAKER_02] That's crazy.

[01:27:26] [SPEAKER_01] So there's no meaningful programs benefiting children in the state beyond a backpack drive for the kids that aren't Jewish. Uh-huh.

[01:27:56] [SPEAKER_01] Um...

[01:27:57] [SPEAKER_02] That's crazy.

[01:27:58] [SPEAKER_01] You know what? That's fine. If you want to do a fundraiser for Orthodox Jewish stuff, do it. Right. And... But... But the ads have nothing to do with it. You gotta say it. Right. You can't... You can't... Yep. Um... There's no transparency.

[01:28:14] Um...

[01:28:14] [SPEAKER_01] It creates an unpleasant... Yeah, yeah, yeah. So... At least in California, you can praise baby Jesus and thank your lucky charms. You're not gonna have to hear that anymore.

[01:28:26] [SPEAKER_02] Thank God.

[01:28:26] [SPEAKER_01] Mm-hmm. It'll give me a new reason to enjoy being in California. Missed a bullet. Oh, you know what? I'm gonna save this one for next week because people have no idea. I did not. So robo-taxis are on the road to London and cabbies are not gonna give up.

[01:28:48] [SPEAKER_01] What you have to do to be a London cab driver is fucking insane in a great way. It's so hard. But we're gonna save that one because it's... That needs to be a little deeper dive. Okay. I feel as a testament to those who have done it. Yep. Especially compared to the United States. Jesus Christ. Here's a sad day for the United States, but it's something to celebrate. Schlitz! Love it.

[01:29:18] [SPEAKER_01] The historic beer that made Milwaukee famous is ending this month.

[01:29:21] [SPEAKER_02] You're kidding!

[01:29:22] [SPEAKER_01] Before it was America's largest brewery, it began as a popular Milwaukee Tavern Brewing.

[01:29:27] [SPEAKER_02] Didn't we drink that after your special?

[01:29:29] [SPEAKER_01] It's gross. It's really... Here's what people forget. It's Schlitz malt liquor. Everybody forgets the malt liquor part. And I was so hung over. I think it's after I taped a special in Milwaukee.

[01:29:40] [SPEAKER_02] Yeah.

[01:29:41] [SPEAKER_01] And there was just so much stress and everything else. And then afterwards I had like a thousand beers. And I wandered into one of those taverns by the Eusinger Brat House.

[01:29:52] [SPEAKER_02] The Milwaukee Brat House.

[01:29:53] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. I wandered into one of those and the guy just looked at me and goes, yeah, we're gonna get you a few beers. I'm like... I go, oh, don't get me three at once. I go, they'll just get hot. He goes, they're free, lady. Just drink them. And I said, oh, okay. That's awesome. I go, but can I also... I thought I was gonna take... Like my grandparents on my mom's side drank Falstaff. That's an old-timey beer. And I thought Schlitz was like that. I go, can I get a Schlitz draft?

[01:30:20] [SPEAKER_01] And he kind of looked at me weird like, okay. But he was very pleasant. He said, there you go. If I were you, I'd try that one first to have those to backwash it. And I go, oh, I'm gonna hate it. He goes, I don't think you really remember. It's thick. Yeah. It's sweet. And not... Anyway, their final barrel. It's sad. I did love the logo.

[01:30:47] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah.

[01:30:48] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. I'm gonna have to go buy one girl's t-shirt that says Schlitz. Schlitz. In honor of the Germans. Their final 80 barrel batch will be brewed on Saturday, May 23rd. Oh. Oh my gosh.

[01:31:02] [SPEAKER_02] Three days.

[01:31:03] [SPEAKER_01] This is the greatest news possible. So, America... Moving on. This is a feel good story. Okay. It's so great. Pizza Hut. And this is a guy who worked there in high school. He's been the leader of it. He works with... His name's Tim Sparks. He works with the Dayland Corporation. Okay. They're converting 80 Pizza Hut locations to the original 1980s format. Oh, awesome. How fun is it?

[01:31:29] [SPEAKER_01] Red cups, salad bars, stained glass lamps, Pac-Man machine, vinyl booths. His first job at Pizza Hut was a dishwasher.

[01:31:37] [SPEAKER_02] That's awesome.

[01:31:38] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. And people are so excited. That's cool. They're... They're... I would totally go. I found the one in Truman Lake in Missouri that's an old school one. It's not been brought back. It just never got touched.

[01:31:51] [SPEAKER_03] Wow.

[01:31:52] [SPEAKER_01] I know. I'm like, oh my God, you're a landmark and you don't even know it. And they have no goddamn idea. Yeah. Um... I... I hope it works. And I hope they're very, very successful. But everybody... There's lines. The ones they've done it to, everyone wants to go.

[01:32:07] [SPEAKER_02] That's awesome.

[01:32:08] [SPEAKER_01] Because they're... I love a salad bar. Yeah. I know that is my...

[01:32:13] [SPEAKER_02] That's Midwest.

[01:32:14] [SPEAKER_01] Unheart healthy Midwest person talking there, but if you have pasta salad on that and then...

[01:32:20] [SPEAKER_02] Pasta salad specifically.

[01:32:22] [SPEAKER_01] Well, yeah. If it doesn't have that, then the Snook Inn in Marco Island. Oh. Marco Island. Yeah. Great. The pasta... The old school stuff. The stuff that the Italian moms used to make at our Catholic grade school because we didn't have a cafeteria, so we had to rely on them.

[01:32:38] Um...

[01:32:39] [SPEAKER_01] Everybody's going back. That's awesome. Hold on.

[01:32:43] [SPEAKER_02] I wonder if we're getting one.

[01:32:46] [SPEAKER_01] They have a red roof. Check. Red tablecloths. Vinyl boost. Check. Check. Oh, beloved pass. The salad bar? Check. Even the Pac-Man. Uh-uh. Machines will return. People are losing their minds. They're so excited. That's awesome. Um... Yeah. Because I liked it because I don't... Like, I like pizza, but sometimes I'd really just rather get at it at a salad bar. Salad. Yeah. Yeah. Because it just... I don't know.

[01:33:16] Uh...

[01:33:18] [SPEAKER_01] But yeah. That's fine. Let's go backwards a little bit. Yeah. Shall we? A little bit more news and then we gotta get out of here. Ella Langley, who I love.

[01:33:29] [SPEAKER_03] Mm-hmm.

[01:33:30] [SPEAKER_01] And I'm not just part of the hack bandwagon thing. I always say when I am. I've been calling this one for a while. She set more ACM awards than anybody. Uh... They gave... They gave... I'm glad. She should have won all the awards. She's wonderful. Mm-hmm. Uh... But they gave Cody Johnson Entertainer of the Year.

[01:33:52] [SPEAKER_03] Really?

[01:33:53] I know.

[01:33:54] [SPEAKER_03] Okay.

[01:33:55] [SPEAKER_01] Guess how many awards they gave Morgan Wallen?

[01:33:58] [SPEAKER_02] Probably none.

[01:34:00] [SPEAKER_01] That is correct. None. Hmm. Now, I know Morgan had his incident and I do think he did a lot of reparations and a lot of apologies. Yeah. And they weren't just words. Like, he actually went and did stuff with the NAACP. Yeah. Because he used the N-word. Speaking to his white friend... Uh-huh. I'm not saying you should say it, but it wasn't like in a mean-spirited way...

[01:34:24] [SPEAKER_02] He's from East Tennessee and I don't think he understood.

[01:34:27] [SPEAKER_01] I don't think he understood that like... And somebody caught it on film.

[01:34:30] [SPEAKER_02] Yep.

[01:34:31] [SPEAKER_01] And they created this thing. Mm-hmm. And it's one thing if you just say, fuck it, I said it, I don't care. He did not do that. Right. He said, look, I didn't even think about it, so I should think about it. So I should learn about it. So he went and did a million things.

[01:34:47] [SPEAKER_02] Mm-hmm.

[01:34:47] [SPEAKER_01] And it's just not enough.

[01:34:50] [SPEAKER_02] No.

[01:34:51] [SPEAKER_01] But also...

[01:34:52] [SPEAKER_02] I think he still won.

[01:34:54] [SPEAKER_01] What I like about the kids is... And because I also think it's bullshit because I've been... I'm involved in it sometimes. Mm-hmm. Emmys and Grammys and all this horse shit. It's all horse shit. And I like that some of the younger people... Now, Morgan is probably... But I think Morgan would have done it anyway because he is quite... He's quite defiant.

[01:35:15] [SPEAKER_05] Yeah.

[01:35:16] [SPEAKER_01] And you have the right to be defiant in your 20s.

[01:35:18] Um...

[01:35:19] [SPEAKER_01] It's all just made up. And it's political. Yeah. And, I mean, sometimes somebody just kicks everybody's ass. Like, Ella Langley just clearly kicked everyone's ass. You can't deny that. Right. But if it's a close one, say it's five people that people kind of know, then it just becomes a spending money campaign from your publicist. And yes, it all costs money. And no, will I spend a dime? No. I will never be nominated for a Grammy or an Emmy for a special because I will not fucking participate. And why?

[01:35:46] [SPEAKER_01] So, I do get it if you're a writer on a show because that's your credit for the next show. But like comedy and music, what does your trophy do for me?

[01:35:57] [SPEAKER_03] Right.

[01:35:57] [SPEAKER_01] I don't know about music. I'm not involved. But I know comedy, nothing. Right. Doesn't mean shit. And I'm glad the kids are waking up to that going, this is all kind of made up. You guys just made up this award show. It's all... Um...

[01:36:14] [SPEAKER_02] Part of... I think the new generation has moved on. Yes. It's very old school. Yeah, I don't think it's made up. I just think they don't see the value in it as much as five billion streams.

[01:36:27] [SPEAKER_01] It was made up from the beginning to make people money by filming the fucking show. The one show I was told it doesn't exist anymore, so it doesn't matter. But the American Comedy Awards, they said, well, if you win, you have to be there. If you can't be there, we'll give it to someone else. So I didn't really win anything.

[01:36:47] [SPEAKER_02] Right.

[01:36:48] [SPEAKER_01] It was ridiculous.

[01:36:49] [SPEAKER_02] We want you on television.

[01:36:51] [SPEAKER_01] Right, right, right, right, right. It's another word. We're trying to... My production company, He-Ha, you know, He-He, Ha-Ha Productions, I want to film a show that's great and make money to get paid for that. So I need stars in attendance. Right. And how do I get them to do that? Yep. Tell them they won the goddamn award. Right. It's just ridiculous. It's ridiculous. Yeah. I don't... I'm not saying Ella Langley won these because of that, because I don't think she needed to spend money or anything. She just kicked everyone's ass solidly.

[01:37:19] [SPEAKER_01] But Morgan, you know what? You did everything you could to say you were sorry.

[01:37:25] [SPEAKER_02] Yeah.

[01:37:26] [SPEAKER_01] Ignore him.

[01:37:27] [SPEAKER_02] Right.

[01:37:28] [SPEAKER_01] He clearly doesn't need it. That's what I'm saying. What do the trophies do for you? I don't know. In music, maybe it gets you a better writer, songwriter to help, maybe better musicians. No idea. Not my baby, not my bathwater. Not my bathwater. Right. But I know Morgan is selling out every stadium. Yeah. And honestly, and I do follow country music, I never even heard of Cody Johnson.

[01:37:51] [SPEAKER_03] Oh!

[01:37:53] [SPEAKER_01] What does he sing? He's up at the golf course? Should I... Does he say hi to me and I don't know it? Oh. Well. Sorry, Cody.

[01:38:03] [SPEAKER_02] Well, you say hi back. I just don't know how he knows you.

[01:38:08] Sorry.

[01:38:10] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. We'll edit that out. Feel good, and then we're going to go on to not staying dumb and a saint because I forgot my quotes. So not staying dumb is taking the place of quotes today. Here's a feel good story. Okay. And the most adorable picture of a cat laying on her back in a bed with a thermometer and a blanket and a hat.

[01:38:31] Okay.

[01:38:32] [SPEAKER_01] Sick pets are now officially considered a valid reason for paid emergency leave in Italy.

[01:38:37] [SPEAKER_02] So great.

[01:38:38] [SPEAKER_01] Yep. This means if your pet becomes ill, you can take time off without losing income, giving you the chance to properly care for them during a stressful time. This decision marks an important shift in how pets are viewed in everyday life, acknowledging the strong emotional bond they share with people and animals and responsibility. What are your thoughts? I think it's wonderful.

[01:38:56] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah. Great. Great.

[01:38:57] [SPEAKER_01] Everybody needs to calm down. Stop worrying so much. If your pets stick, stay home. Take care of your pet. If baby cat was sick, well, she's only been sick like twice. And I know when she's sick. And it's sad. But I can honestly say with baby cat, it doesn't matter if I'm here or not. She doesn't really care. She just sleeps. Yeah. She hasn't moved in four hours. But she sleeps better when I'm here. Okay. I think. I might have made that up. Let's do a grammar rule.

[01:39:26] [SPEAKER_01] My God, I actually, I actually heard somebody say this. Okay. Hmm. What is the difference between since versus because?

[01:39:43] [SPEAKER_02] I only use it in a sentence.

[01:39:44] [SPEAKER_01] Well, I went to the store since you told me that I could only go to the store between five and seven. No, I think that would be because. That sounds weird. That would be since?

[01:39:57] [SPEAKER_03] Mm-hmm.

[01:39:58] [SPEAKER_01] Okay. Well, I fucked that. That's a bad example. Okay. That was twisted. Trickery. I went and bought cat food since you said there was no cat food.

[01:40:11] Since.

[01:40:13] [SPEAKER_01] I still think it should be because. Yeah, right. Right. Since. But I don't know why. Here's why. This is, we're getting so much smarter. I know. Since means time.

[01:40:24] Right.

[01:40:25] [SPEAKER_01] Because means reason.

[01:40:28] [SPEAKER_03] Oh.

[01:40:28] [SPEAKER_01] Ah. So, if I should say, I went to get cat food because you said there was no cat food.

[01:40:37] [SPEAKER_03] Right.

[01:40:38] [SPEAKER_01] Since would have been, I went to go get cat food since I haven't in three months. Time. Time. Time.

[01:40:46] [SPEAKER_02] I am here with you on the podcast because you said you would take me for a margarita after.

[01:40:52] [SPEAKER_01] That is correct. Not since, but a lot of the youngsters go, since you said you were. Yeah.

[01:40:58] [SPEAKER_02] They all look fat all of a sudden.

[01:40:59] [SPEAKER_01] I know. I'm sorry to generalize all of you young people, but I do. I'm sorry to get you. Oh, good. Today, we're going to learn, let's go over what we've learned. Okay. This is how we become a comedian. I like it. Tienes alcohol? Meaning, do you have alcohol? I know I'm butchering some of this just to go along. Donde esta la barra? Where is the bar? Does the bar serve food? El barra sirve comida? Si, we're building.

[01:41:27] [SPEAKER_02] I like it.

[01:41:27] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. What time does the kitchen close? A que hora sirve la kitchen ora? What time is checkin'? Que hora? A check. A check. How late is breakfast serve? Hasta que hora si serve el diseño? I fucked that up and I know it. Yeah, but it sounded good. Yeah. Sounded good. What time does the band start? A que hora? Empisia. How far is the airport?

[01:41:55] [SPEAKER_01] A que distancia este aeropuerto? Nice. Where's the bathroom?

[01:42:02] [SPEAKER_03] Puerto.

[01:42:03] [SPEAKER_01] Donde esta el baño? Today, where can I get coffee? Donde puedo tomar un café?

[01:42:11] [SPEAKER_02] I like it.

[01:42:13] Okay.

[01:42:14] [SPEAKER_02] I like it.

[01:42:15] [SPEAKER_01] We're not staying dumb.

[01:42:15] [SPEAKER_02] No.

[01:42:16] [SPEAKER_01] We're getting smarter every goddamn minute.

[01:42:18] [SPEAKER_02] Well done.

[01:42:20] [SPEAKER_03] Funny. Alright. We're gonna do a saint.

[01:42:24] [SPEAKER_01] Cause I didn't, I forgot codes.

[01:42:26] [SPEAKER_02] It's okay. We've had a lot going on.

[01:42:28] [SPEAKER_01] There's a lot. The bird show was overwhelming. I had to get there so early. And it, outdoor comedy is so weird. Really? Yeah. And it was Shane, then Chris, then Rory, then me, then Bert. So I was so glad it wasn't my show. But the advantage of going last, even though it's a little more pressure, is it gets dark by then. Oh. It's weird for comedians to stand outside and do comedy in the daylight. Okay. I don't mind.

[01:42:58] [SPEAKER_01] But, it's just different. And when you're in an open air thing, the laughs just go into the universe versus a roof inside. Laughter is contagious. That is not just a saying. It's an actual thing. And the sound isn't captured. Like, outdoors is more Florence and the machine-y.

[01:43:18] [SPEAKER_03] Okay.

[01:43:19] [SPEAKER_01] Like, crazy music. You know, Cheap Trick can go as loud as they want and just fucking send it into the ethos. Like, comedy kind of needs to be captured.

[01:43:29] [SPEAKER_02] They're doing it this weekend, aren't they?

[01:43:31] [SPEAKER_01] Cheap Trick's doing it this weekend, yeah. Cool. I'm very proud. I met one of the owners of the amphitheater. He was adorable. His name's Michael. Nice. Older man. Yeah. I have a new Saint book, because we're not giving up. Because there's a million. And if I had to live through my grade school hearing about one of these a day, so do you, termites.

[01:43:48] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah.

[01:43:49] [SPEAKER_01] Mainly because they made me laugh. Um. This is the Feast of Saint Hellier. I can actually say I've never heard of that person. And usually I've heard of most of them. This is a martyr who kept his head. Sixth century. Oh. Sixth century? He is the patron saint of the Isle of Jersey. Where are my Jersey Mites at?

[01:44:13] [SPEAKER_02] And have you heard of this?

[01:44:15] [SPEAKER_01] Have you heard of this? The capital city of Jersey. Oh no. Of the Channel Islands. He, that's not New Jersey. He's that Channel Islands. Sorry. Sorry to get you excited, Jersey Mites.

[01:44:29] [SPEAKER_00] I didn't think it was New Jersey.

[01:44:31] [SPEAKER_01] No. The Channel Islands are in California.

[01:44:34] [SPEAKER_00] Wow.

[01:44:34] [SPEAKER_01] There's probably, there's probably some in England too or whatever. Yeah, this has to be in Europe. It can't be the Channel Islands in California. Yeah. Well, anyway, here's this guy's deal.

[01:44:44] Wow.

[01:44:45] [SPEAKER_01] The capital city of Jersey, the largest of the Channel Islands, is named for this Belgian hermit who took up his abode on a sea bound rock there. When Hellier was beheaded by a band of Vikings, get ready for this. Ready? Yep. He calmly picked up his head and walked away.

[01:45:06] [SPEAKER_03] Oh!

[01:45:07] [SPEAKER_01] Which caused the Vikings to flee in terror and they spared the island. Oh my God.

[01:45:14] [SPEAKER_02] Yeah. Test.

[01:45:16] [SPEAKER_01] Some crazy shit was going on in the sixth century. This is great. Hey, did you see that Hellier picked up his own head?

[01:45:24] Yes.

[01:45:24] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah, he did. He was like, I'm sorry. He was like, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's like a big one thing to think about.

[01:45:42] [SPEAKER_03] Hey, you're off for a little while.

[01:45:43] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. I gotta catch up on a lot. I gotta get my bug guy over here. The bug guy? Yeah, the carpenter bees are coming eating through the screen. There's a lot of shit I haven't done lately that I need to do. Okay. Just to maintain some sense of control. A little golf? Over this house. Yes, golf. My guy's coming over because a raccoon ate my boat seat. And I'm- Jesus. Yeah.

[01:46:13] [SPEAKER_01] What are you doing? I have a boat guy, Jason. I love him. Justin, sorry. Well, a raccoon- Jason's the bug guy, I think. It could have been an otter. An otter? No, Steve's a bug guy. Steve's my killer. Okay. Steve from Bango's. I gotta get the bug guy. Uh- Yeah. So I had to go buy a new boat seat. That's not as easy as it sounds. No way. For my fishing boat. Okay. Yeah. And he's coming over because a raccoon ate that all winter long.

[01:46:43] [SPEAKER_01] Or an otter. I don't know. You never know. Something got in there and went absolutely bad shit. I'm like, are you kidding me? You ate the seat. What? Hey. Why, why, why, why, why? It doesn't even taste like anything. All right. Ready?

[01:47:01] [SPEAKER_02] Oh, we're done. What are you doing for Memorial Day besides nothing?

[01:47:04] [SPEAKER_01] Nothing. Nothing. It's supposed to rain all weekend, honestly. Yeah. But that's okay. I'm excited.

[01:47:10] [SPEAKER_02] We're putting up some-

[01:47:11] [SPEAKER_01] As Donna, my friend at the golf course says, you need to just be steel for a minute. You never steel. She's the only person in my life who's ever called me precious. And that's why I love Donna. Because Donna, I'm like, I'm generous and I'm nice and I'm fun, but I don't know about precious. She's like, no, you're precious.

[01:47:30] [SPEAKER_02] No, that's nice. I know.

[01:47:31] [SPEAKER_01] And she's like, you do. I said, Donna, I want to cancel my tea time because it's going to get rained out. She goes, you should. Just be still on that porch with them cats and just enjoy it. Just be steel.

[01:47:43] [SPEAKER_02] I like it. I know. That's a good merch idea. Be steel. Be steel.

[01:47:48] [SPEAKER_01] Just be steel.

[01:47:49] [SPEAKER_03] That's what we're going to do at home.

[01:47:50] [SPEAKER_01] But she encourages my, if I, I am the last one to feel like, okay, just not doing shit for, you know, two days in a row. I feel like I should do, I always feel like I, you know, do something, do something, do something. But she made me feel like I don't need to. Jesus loves me and I need to be steel.

[01:48:08] [SPEAKER_02] You do.

[01:48:08] [SPEAKER_01] Have a blessed day.

[01:48:10] [SPEAKER_02] You know, wait, we're going to do two videos, right?

[01:48:15] [SPEAKER_03] For your cooking.

[01:48:18] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah, I'm going to have two Memorial Day items. Like, I'm probably going to go over to the neighbor's house so I need to bring something.

[01:48:26] [SPEAKER_03] Okay.

[01:48:26] [SPEAKER_01] I'm going to do my summer salad for sure. And then I have a dynamite dip.

[01:48:30] [SPEAKER_03] Oh! Yeah.

[01:48:31] [SPEAKER_01] I'm going to do two of those. Dynamite dip. Rock on.

[01:48:35] [SPEAKER_05] All right, bye. Bye.
