[00:00:09] [SPEAKER_08] Hey everybody, it's me, Kathleen Madigan. Welcome to Madigan’s Pubcast. You grab yourself a drink, pull up a bar stool, and let's talk about what's been going on.
[00:00:23] [SPEAKER_09] Termites, welcome to Episode 275. It was Stevie's birthday the other day. 78 years old.
[00:00:33] [SPEAKER_10] So cool. I know. And I just read that Tom Jones is going on tour. What? He's 85. Oh my God. And I texted Dax, my drummer friend from Cheap Trick, and I go, these old people refuse to get off the stage. Yeah. They just, I mean, good for them. They're enjoying their life. And Dax said, yeah. I mean, he, yeah.
[00:00:59] [SPEAKER_10] That's just a lot. 78, Stevie goes strong though. Stevie, what else do you got to do? Share, get your ass back out there. Yeah, she's awesome. Barry Manilow's trying. He's trying. He's trying.
[00:01:09] [SPEAKER_11] Got to get new pants. He's lost a little weight.
[00:01:12] [SPEAKER_10] Tom Jones. I mean, even my mom would be like, well, where's, where's the show? Like she'd start picking apart. Like, do I get, do I get backstage parking? No, mom, it's not my show. Yeah. Let me just call Tom Jones and see if I can get backstage parking. Although I did see Tom Jones in our tiny restaurant in Las Vegas one time. My friend Todd, this comedian, loved him. And he said, he goes, I heard he goes to this pizza place.
[00:01:36] [SPEAKER_07] Mm-hmm.
[00:01:37] [SPEAKER_10] It's in like, by O'Shea's in Vegas by where all those little tiny casinos that are fun. Yeah. But it's above there. Cheap. It's not fancy. It's red and white checkered. So we went over there. I guess we're stalking Tom Jones. I could care less either which way, but I'm, I'm a good wingman. Yeah. So we went and sure enough, there he was. And then somebody, it's a very family style. And he had a table full of relatives from Wales. Oh God.
[00:02:03] [SPEAKER_10] And the one guy was so fun drunk. He was dancing around the dance floor, just going, I'm Welsh. I'm Welsh. I'm Welsh. And I thought, oh God, poor Tom's probably like, I shouldn't have brought, I shouldn't have brought Mikey. I should have brought everyone else, but I shouldn't have, but he was funny. He caused no problems. And he was just, and then they gave Tom Jones, he had a napkin in his shirt. He's spaghetti. And they handed him a microphone. And he started singing. It's not unusual to be loved by anyone.
[00:02:30] [SPEAKER_10] I'm like, this is the craziest shit I've ever, like this would be something you'd have in it after you took Percocet after a dental procedure. It's that kind of dream where he's just running around the restaurant with a napkin with spaghetti on it, singing. Happy. Very happy. Very, still sexy. Still good looking. Like you go Tom.
[00:02:50] [SPEAKER_11] I saw him at Heathrow bar at a bar at Heathrow airport one time. Just sitting there. Sitting there. And I was like, cool.
[00:02:58] [SPEAKER_10] Yeah. Yeah. I took his picture. Oh, good for you.
[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_11] I said it's my friend. Hey.
[00:03:05] [SPEAKER_10] I sat in some airport in Florida on the East Coast. So either Orlando, it wasn't Orlando. It was probably Fort Lauderdale. Next to Olympia Dukakis. She was reading the New York Times. All of it. She looks magical. She was, yeah. And I didn't say, I'm not saying anything. I just pretended like I didn't know who she was because I thought that'd be weird. And she's not going to want to eat next to some weird fan person. I loved you in Steel Magnolias. Oh, my God. I watched it at least once a year. And then you ordered dinner next door. Great.
[00:03:33] [SPEAKER_11] You're going to tell them about when you fell asleep through your whole life. Oh, my God. I mean, come on. It was right at the hut of Coven.
[00:03:41] [SPEAKER_10] I was. Coven was on. And I love Sarah Paulson. And there was someone. Julianne Moore. Julianne Moore.
[00:03:50] [SPEAKER_11] Mm-hmm. And who else?
[00:03:53] [SPEAKER_10] I've.
[00:03:53] [SPEAKER_11] Oh, no. It was Coven and Bette and. It wasn't Bette. No, remember that. And it wasn't Stevie. It wasn't Cher.
[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_03] No, the HBO show. We sound ridiculous.
[00:04:04] [SPEAKER_11] Bette and Joan. Oh, yeah.
[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_10] She played.
[00:04:09] [SPEAKER_11] Yeah, that was such a good series. And. Who sat next to you? I forget. Well, you snored. I forget. What was it? Lewis told the story.
[00:04:17] [SPEAKER_10] Bette and Joan. I don't remember.
[00:04:19] [SPEAKER_03] It was Feud.
[00:04:21] [SPEAKER_10] Feud. Jessica Lange. Mm-hmm. And. I don't know who played.
[00:04:27] [SPEAKER_03] Susan Sarandon.
[00:04:28] [SPEAKER_10] Susan Sarandon.
[00:04:29] [SPEAKER_03] Sat right next to you.
[00:04:30] [SPEAKER_10] So I was in the Delta Lounge. Waiting to meet Lou. Yep. And we were going to go to Ireland.
[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_05] Yep.
[00:04:36] [SPEAKER_10] And. I got there way earlier than him. And I just found this really comfortable chair. And I don't know. I just fell asleep. Like. I can sleep anywhere. Yeah. When you're from a big family. People are like. It's just too loud to sleep. Well, then you're never going to sleep in a big. A family with nine people. No. So I'm very good at sleeping wherever. Yep. And I woke up. And Louis was like. Wake up. And Julianne Moore is leaving. Mm-hmm. And the rest of them are leaving.
[00:05:00] [SPEAKER_06] Yeah.
[00:05:00] [SPEAKER_10] I'm like. What the fuck? Susan Sarandon. Susan Sarandon. But they all have three-way conversation. And I'm like. Oh. I. He goes. Yeah. And you were snoring. I said. You snore really loudly. And I was like. How do you. How do you know her? Right. But Lou's like. Got that theater side of him. That's funny. Not to be. Um. Well, I won't even call. Say what I call him sometimes. But his theater world. He knows all these people. Right. He went to Yale.
[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_10] Like he knows. Yeah. He knows. Of Meryl Streep. Like he would know her enough to say hello. Right. Like I don't know any actor people. Not good ones. No. And uh. Yeah. I slept through the whole thing. I saw them leaving. I mean. I know it happened. We should tell people to watch that. What are we watching? You gotta watch Feud. Feud. And let me tell you what though. It's on Hulu. Jessica Lange up against Susan Sarandon.
[00:05:53] [SPEAKER_11] Yep.
[00:05:54] [SPEAKER_10] You can tell who's the better actor. And I won't say who. You go watch it yourself. And you decide. But somebody is like. Jessica. Freshman level. And somebody is master's level. I love Jessica Lange. But the show was great. No matter what. And I do love Susan Sarandon. I love White Palace. The movie. That's the Coven tie in. Right.
[00:06:12] [SPEAKER_11] Because Coven was on at the same time.
[00:06:13] [SPEAKER_10] Yes. Right. White Palace. That movie is about White Castle. And it's about St. Louis. Well it's in St. Louis. So I like it even more. And she encapsulates. She totally encapsulates. I can never say that word right. Completely. Someone I would think of from South St. Louis. Really? Susan Sarandon. Yeah. Oh what? Nails it. What are we drinking?
[00:06:38] [SPEAKER_03] Feud.
[00:06:40] [SPEAKER_10] Feud. It was. I think it was a Ryan Murphy deal. Yes. I may have to rewatch it again. Because I'm out of shit to watch. We're going to talk about The Crash. We're going to talk about that. And my brother needs to stop drinking bourbon when he's watching these shows. Because his. Well I'm talking about The Crash. He's like. Did you tell me. You know. Me and Ellie just watched The Crash. I go. I told you. He goes. You should watch it. I go. I told you to watch it two weeks ago. And he goes. I don't know if I would have voted for murder.
[00:07:09] [SPEAKER_10] And I go. Listen drunky. And he. So he starts firing off questions. I go. He goes. Well I may have had a bourbon. I go. You don't get to drink when you are an alternate juror of the. Of the. The coven. Right. Of. Investigative people. Me and Kelly. And Nicole. Anyway. I'm drinking Tennessee State Brew Works. Because I've been in Tennessee. I was here last weekend.
[00:07:34] [SPEAKER_11] Nice.
[00:07:34] [SPEAKER_10] Yeah.
[00:07:35] [SPEAKER_11] How was your memorial day?
[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_10] It was fine. It was rainy. But I'm totally fine with that. Because all I've been doing is running, running, running. And going. So if it's sunny out. I'll be out there. And I'll be doing something. And I'll feel guilty if I don't. So I didn't mind the rain. I fished off the dock. Nice. Nothing big to report. Nice. What are we trying before we get to upcoming shows here? Oh. The snack club. The Hidden Valley Ranch. Dill pickle. Next. Thanks. From Blythwood. South Carolina termite. Blythwood.
[00:08:06] [SPEAKER_10] Blythwood. Sarah. Oh. Crunchy. So basically, they took a giant Chex Mix thing.
[00:08:14] [SPEAKER_03] Threw some ranch on it.
[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_10] Threw some ranch on it. Some dill. Well, it's not a bad idea. It's better than what Southwest throws at your face. It is, yeah. You want a snack? Catch. Bang. Bang.
[00:08:23] [SPEAKER_11] Right off your glasses. Pretty good.
[00:08:26] [SPEAKER_10] I like them. Okay. Blythwood's French Onion Soup. I love French Onion Soup. Whoa.
[00:08:31] Whoa.
[00:08:32] [SPEAKER_10] Almost snack. Is that Stevie? Is that Queen Stevie? 78. Holy shit.
[00:08:38] [SPEAKER_11] People keep sending you World Cup stuff.
[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_10] Is this a World Cup one? Yeah.
[00:08:43] [SPEAKER_11] Oh, it is. We're going to talk about the World Cup. It's for the French team.
[00:08:45] [SPEAKER_10] Oh, yeah. Oh, is it? That's so creative. I would have made a Gouda chip.
[00:08:52] [SPEAKER_11] Oh.
[00:08:53] [SPEAKER_10] Yeah. Is that French cheese?
[00:08:55] [SPEAKER_11] No.
[00:08:55] [SPEAKER_10] No.
[00:08:56] [SPEAKER_11] No. It's Amsterdam.
[00:08:57] [SPEAKER_10] Amsterdam.
[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_11] It's the Netherlands.
[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_10] Brie.
[00:08:59] [SPEAKER_11] Brie is French.
[00:09:01] [SPEAKER_10] Brie is French. Yeah. These are really good. Yeah. Lays never fucked up. No. And they have ridges. And they're wavy. They're wavy. Mm-hmm.
[00:09:07] [SPEAKER_11] Yeah.
[00:09:08] [SPEAKER_10] Five out of five.
[00:09:10] [SPEAKER_11] Really?
[00:09:10] [SPEAKER_10] And the Czechs mix.
[00:09:12] [SPEAKER_11] It's hard to get a five-star from you.
[00:09:13] [SPEAKER_10] It is, especially when you mess with Lays.
[00:09:15] [SPEAKER_11] Yeah.
[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_10] Five-stars. So is a stand.
[00:09:19] [SPEAKER_11] That can be when you finish taking classes at LSU. You can go work for Lays.
[00:09:24] [SPEAKER_10] Yeah. Maybe. No. I have a better job for myself. I'm going to be a white monkey. Chinese firms are hiring white people to pose as executives because somehow it makes, in their eyes, it makes their... Oh, the Pop-Tart's already open. And they're called white monkeys.
[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_07] Huh.
[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_10] I don't really think I look like a corporate executive, but I could work on that.
[00:09:42] [SPEAKER_07] Not the day you don't.
[00:09:44] [SPEAKER_10] I could work on it. Lake Hill's 13 bar. I probably have a serious suit that I wear for corporate gigs where I look very corporate. Mm-hmm. I mean, as corporate as I'm capable of looking. Mm-hmm. That was good. The Lays French. That was from Chicago Tour Rides. Carrie and John. Chicago, by the way, Sunday night, Cubs cards on Sunday night baseball. Nice. I know. I have to come up with a bet with my friend Dax because he's a Cubs person. It's a friendly rivalry. Yes. Friendly fire. There's never been nothing but fun going to Chicago for those games.
[00:10:13] [SPEAKER_10] And they are always welcome in St. Louis and hopefully nobody's a dick to them. That's always my prayer. I don't want some crazy drunk being mean to Chicago people.
[00:10:20] [SPEAKER_11] I find that more in football.
[00:10:22] [SPEAKER_10] Hockey.
[00:10:23] [SPEAKER_11] Well, yeah. The Blackhawk fans can be a lot. I know.
[00:10:27] [SPEAKER_10] Because they were so great for so many years and the Blues never were. I was raised one. So, yeah. Sorry. That's, you know. That would have been nice. Sometimes it's a little aggressive. I'm just saying. Superstuffed Strawberry Blast Pop-Tarts from Mobile. Alabama Termite Candace. I love a Pop-Tart. And you know what? If you have these in your purse. I love that somebody from Mobile mailed that. Superstuffed. Oh, my God.
[00:10:50] [SPEAKER_11] They're fat Pop-Tarts.
[00:10:51] [SPEAKER_10] They're so good.
[00:10:53] Yeah.
[00:10:54] [SPEAKER_10] It's just more of a Pop-Tart, but.
[00:10:55] [SPEAKER_11] Do you like them in the toaster?
[00:10:57] [SPEAKER_10] No, I prefer them cold.
[00:10:58] [SPEAKER_11] Really?
[00:10:59] [SPEAKER_10] Yeah. That's why you throw them in your bag when you're traveling. No matter what happens on that plane, you got food.
[00:11:05] [SPEAKER_11] That's not really food. Yeah, it is.
[00:11:07] [SPEAKER_10] When you're hungry, your stomach thinks it's food.
[00:11:10] [SPEAKER_11] That icing's got a five-year shelf life.
[00:11:12] [SPEAKER_10] Oh, I know. Don't put them in your golf bag, though. They don't do well with moisture or heat. It's only if you're going to be indoors. All right. Outcoming shows. Advice from Hank. June 26th and 27th, Knoxville. With Karen, my friend Karen. Selbyville. With my friend Kelly. That's the 18th. July 25th, Niagara Falls with Stephen Rogers. Fun. I think he's bringing his mom and dad. That would be fun. August 8th. Now my openers, their parents are my age.
[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_07] Hi. Hi.
[00:11:43] [SPEAKER_10] And then I'm like looking at Stephen going, I'm going to go out with your mom and dad. Did you want to come? Is that weird?
[00:11:49] [SPEAKER_07] Is that weird for you?
[00:11:52] [SPEAKER_10] The awesome girl who feeds the cats when I'm gone. Her dad's a weatherman in Alabama. And I was like, is it weird if I say your dad's like smoking hot? He totally is. I think he's younger than me. Really? Yeah, he's very cute. August 21 and 22, the Borgata. Wait, I tell you. September 11th, San Antonio. I can't wait. I don't think Taylor's new movie is at the Alamo, but I'm going to see it anyway. Regardless. September 12th, Austin, Texas. September 18th, Tarrytown, New York.
[00:12:22] [SPEAKER_10] September 19th, Hershey, Pennsylvania. I haven't been there. I love Hershey. Nice. I haven't been there in a long time, but it's just a fun little experience. Nice. Yeah, Pennsylvania's got so many places you can go and you're still working and people are still buying tickets and it's just huge. Pennsylvania's way bigger than people think. Fun. We're going to call Holly Bobby in a minute, but first let's do some queen news.
[00:12:47] [SPEAKER_11] Boom. Stevie's birthday. You're going to sing to her?
[00:12:50] [SPEAKER_10] No. I don't think she would appreciate that. Not if she heard this voice. No. Last lie. Tay Tay and Travi went to the Cleveland game right now. Basketball. For you non-sports fans, Cleveland got swept four games by the Knicks. Yeah. The Knicks are on fire. And they sat courtside in Cleveland and Travis slammed a beer.
[00:13:15] [SPEAKER_10] I'm sure she's looking thinking, okay, I'm marrying him in July. He's fun though. He's fun. I mean, it's some age.
[00:13:28] [SPEAKER_11] You got to do something to get the crowd going. He tried.
[00:13:30] [SPEAKER_10] He tried to get the crowd fired up. And I just, yeah. No. It didn't work. But, and then Steve Kerr, I thought this was so funny. He secretly used Taylor Swift's lyrics for a whole season and left the superstar son in press conferences to amuse himself. I know.
[00:13:48] [SPEAKER_07] Didn't tell anybody.
[00:13:49] [SPEAKER_10] Sneaking in Taylor's lyrics. I think that's, he is a very funny guy. Yeah. And he was a great coach.
[00:13:57] [SPEAKER_11] He's cool.
[00:13:57] [SPEAKER_10] Yeah. He had a hidden tribute that remained unnoticed publicly. You know why? Because the Swifties aren't watching Steve Kerr's press conferences.
[00:14:06] [SPEAKER_11] Right.
[00:14:07] [SPEAKER_10] That's why. Easter eggs. Because had they been watching them, they'd have seen Easter eggs all over the yard. Kerr's son Matthew later edited the clips together for a family group chat, making it as pure as though his father had recited the full song.
[00:14:19] [SPEAKER_11] That's awesome. NBA Easter eggs.
[00:14:24] [SPEAKER_10] Because Tay-Tay thought it was creative and funny and asked whether she could share it publicly. But Kerr's team preferred not to approve that request. Oh. Oh. Pourquoi? Pourquoi? She's not doing it. That's our queen news. Nothing on Dolly. Dolly's quiet. Cher's quiet after her. She's probably still recovering from her birthday party.
[00:14:43] [SPEAKER_11] And Snoop. Uh-huh. He's being fabulous.
[00:14:45] [SPEAKER_10] Snoop's out there being fabulous.
[00:14:47] [SPEAKER_11] Uh-huh.
[00:14:47] [SPEAKER_10] So is Flavor Flav.
[00:14:48] [SPEAKER_11] I love him. Flavor Flav should be a king.
[00:14:52] [SPEAKER_10] Maybe.
[00:14:53] [SPEAKER_11] He's a great advocate for women.
[00:14:55] [SPEAKER_10] He's a very good advocate for women and women's sports and all that stuff. And you two share a birthday. I, a little bit classier, I'm Truman Capote's birthday. Stop it. Alcohol. What? The funniest thing ever. I think I've said it on this podcast before.
[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_11] Alcohol.
[00:15:11] [SPEAKER_10] And you can find this clip online somewhere. Truman Capote.
[00:15:14] [SPEAKER_11] We'll put it in the schnotes.
[00:15:15] [SPEAKER_10] He's a writer for the children. He's a writer and a society, everything. He's in feud. Dude. I believe. Yeah. His character. Because he was the king of socialite parties and the Met Gala and all that. Flamboyantly gay in a great way. And he had gone to Studio 54, which was the big disco party place in New York back in the day. And he drank for like 48 hours straight.
[00:15:42] [SPEAKER_10] And then I guess his publicist found him and said, dude, you're supposed to be on the Today Show like now. Right. And he was like, let's go. He's completely shit. And I think it was like, I can't even imagine doing that. I mean, I've been on a million Good Morning Americas, whatever. I can't imagine going shit face. Although now that you do it, you think, well, I might as well be because I'm not awake. No. This is ridiculous. I got up at 3.30.
[00:16:08] [SPEAKER_07] Right.
[00:16:08] [SPEAKER_10] What is wrong with those people? But I think it was Jane Pauley or someone of that era where they said, Truman, it's rumored that you have a problem with alcohol. And he goes, alcohol. And then he slapped his cheek. He goes, boy, that's the least of my problems. Oh, my God.
[00:16:30] [SPEAKER_09] Yeehaw.
[00:16:32] [SPEAKER_10] And I remember my dad going, I don't know what's wrong with that guy. And he walked out of it because we used to watch the Today Show in the morning while we ate breakfast. And I'm like, I don't either. All right. We're going to call Holly Bobby. Then we're going to do some mail. I got no other king and queen. There's so many news stories that are just bonkers. I can't believe I could be a white monkey. I'm going to apply for that. I'm really like a freckled pink monkey, though. I'm probably not white enough.
[00:16:57] [SPEAKER_07] No.
[00:16:58] [SPEAKER_10] Like, I got to look more like Meryl Streep. Let's call Holly Bobby and find out what's going on out there. Your favorite news. I hate these changes on my phone. I hate them.
[00:17:08] [SPEAKER_02] Your favorite news. Your contacts appear as cards. You can change the listings. No, stop it. I don't.
[00:17:13] Ugh.
[00:17:15] [SPEAKER_10] I hate change. Technology change. I don't care about other change. Okay. See what we missed at Hollywood.
[00:17:25] [SPEAKER_04] Hola, amigas.
[00:17:28] [SPEAKER_10] Bonjour, monsieur.
[00:17:31] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, good. We're keeping it smart.
[00:17:34] [SPEAKER_10] We're not staying dumb. Are you still sick?
[00:17:38] [SPEAKER_04] Yes. Can you hear it?
[00:17:39] [SPEAKER_10] Yes.
[00:17:41] [SPEAKER_04] Ugh. It's been 10 days.
[00:17:43] [SPEAKER_10] I had it for three weeks. Go get some antibiotics. Go lie to the people with urgent care and tell them you've had it for a month and a half.
[00:17:50] [SPEAKER_04] Well, I can't do that today because I have to struggle and prep for my colonoscopy tomorrow morning.
[00:17:57] [SPEAKER_10] Oh, that doesn't sound very glamorous, Hollywood.
[00:18:00] [SPEAKER_04] No. It's not very glamorous. Not at all. But you know what else? You know what is glamorous? What? I was just reading. Rosie O'Donnell admitted to getting a facelift.
[00:18:11] [SPEAKER_10] Really? I saw that, but here's the thing. Yeah. I don't really see the difference.
[00:18:17] No.
[00:18:18] [SPEAKER_10] Well, I mean, not in a bad way. I thought she looked okay before.
[00:18:24] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah, but maybe, I don't know if she's like, I don't know. She might be, she said she like lost 50 pounds. She needed to. Oh, would it?
[00:18:33] [SPEAKER_10] Oh. Yeah, she probably had. Yeah, you're going to have skin sagging more than normal. Well, good for her if that's what she wants to do.
[00:18:42] [SPEAKER_04] I agree. I would love to get my neck done, you know, at some point.
[00:18:46] [SPEAKER_10] Oh, I would too. We'll both go at the same time and see what happens.
[00:18:49] [SPEAKER_04] Where do we want to go? Do we want to go to Tijuana to do it? Yeah, of course.
[00:18:53] [SPEAKER_10] I have a 50% off neck lift.
[00:18:56] [SPEAKER_11] You get a BOGO. Do you want to come with us? No. I'll take care of you guys.
[00:19:01] [SPEAKER_10] My mom used to tell me all the time, you know, you can get that Lasix down in Tijuana for 50% off. I'm like, that's what I want to do, Mom. Have a coupon for my eyeballs.
[00:19:11] [SPEAKER_04] What happened? No way. No, thank you. New phone. Who it is? But I think she looks good. I'm looking at the picture right now.
[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_10] Okay.
[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_04] She looks a little fresher.
[00:19:19] [SPEAKER_10] Okay, good. That's what I said. Well, then money well spent. Good for her.
[00:19:24] [SPEAKER_04] You wait for me. Can I just say something? I hope you're not going to get upset with me, but I heard something on the podcast last week that bothered me.
[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_11] Okay.
[00:19:34] [SPEAKER_04] Charlize. Charlize. How do you say Oscar winner Charlize's last name?
[00:19:40] [SPEAKER_10] I would say Theron like Chevron. Theron? Theron.
[00:19:45] [SPEAKER_04] Charlize. Charlize Theron.
[00:19:50] [SPEAKER_01] Theron. No, Charlize Theron. Yeah, you got it right. Yeah. Wait, wait. You got it right now, but you said it wrong on the podcast last week.
[00:19:58] [SPEAKER_10] Yeah, it could go either way. I don't, I just hope, which is the proper way? I don't know.
[00:20:05] [SPEAKER_04] Charlize Theron. Okay. Because I worked with her before a number of times, and she says, Bobby, my name is Charlize Theron, like heron. Think of the bird heron and call me Charlize Theron.
[00:20:20] [SPEAKER_11] Heroin. Okay.
[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_10] All right. Well, was she nice other than that? Other than your massive correction?
[00:20:30] [SPEAKER_04] She was very nice. She was very lovely. We went to somebody's 50th birthday party, and she was dating Sean Penn at the time. And it was a chocolate and vanilla cake. And there was one last piece of chocolate, chocolate cake. And Clark and I walked up to the table at the same time as Charlize and Sean Penn. And she goes, oh, I wanted the last piece of chocolate cake. Oh, and Clark had it in his hand.
[00:20:59] [SPEAKER_04] And Clark goes, well, you can have it.
[00:21:02] [SPEAKER_11] Oh. Oh.
[00:21:03] [SPEAKER_04] She goes, no, thank you. You just keep it. Oh. Wow. Oh, no. This little interaction. And guess what? We didn't get a chance to say that Charlize and Clark shared the same birthday. Oh.
[00:21:19] [SPEAKER_10] Sad times. Wow. I had to do a video for a lady yesterday, a friend of Dorfman's, to say happy birthday, and it's the same birthday as Stevie's. Wonderful. Oh. I pointed.
[00:21:29] [SPEAKER_01] Stevie's birthday this week?
[00:21:31] [SPEAKER_10] Yeah, it was yesterday. The 20th, whatever that was. Kathleen celebrated. And my days are off because of Memorial Day. Mm-hmm. Yeah, she's 78. Yeah. Tom Jones just announced a road schedule. He's 85.
[00:21:48] [SPEAKER_07] He's still alive?
[00:21:49] [SPEAKER_10] Yeah. He's 85.
[00:21:51] [SPEAKER_07] Is Anglebert Humperdinck still alive?
[00:21:53] [SPEAKER_06] Yes. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
[00:21:55] [SPEAKER_07] What about Wayne Newton?
[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_06] Yes, absolutely. He's still doing shows.
[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_10] So is Rich Little.
[00:22:01] [SPEAKER_04] He's still helping it. Oh, Rich Little?
[00:22:04] [SPEAKER_10] Yeah, he was doing a show every, well, all kinds of nights at the old Laugh Factory at the Trop, and then they blew that up, and he's somewhere else now.
[00:22:13] [SPEAKER_07] Mm-hmm. I don't believe.
[00:22:14] [SPEAKER_10] Yes. His last famous joke was a Nixon impression, and I'm not even fucking kidding. Stop it.
[00:22:21] [SPEAKER_00] Oh, my God.
[00:22:22] [SPEAKER_10] Every driver I've ever had in Las Vegas said that he's mean.
[00:22:28] [SPEAKER_00] No. Really? Yeah. Really? Yeah. That's too bad.
[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_10] I'm just saying, if I get sued over that, I didn't say it. The drivers, I always ask the drivers.
[00:22:37] [SPEAKER_11] He's allegedly a prick.
[00:22:38] [SPEAKER_10] Bobby, is there anything going on in Hollywood that we need to know about?
[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_04] Well, I told you about Rosie O'Donnell's facelift. You didn't know that.
[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_10] Okay, I did not know that. No. Well, I saw a picture, but I thought it was bullshit because she looked the same to me, but just like she had a good nap.
[00:22:54] [SPEAKER_04] Well, yeah. Well, she's, yeah. Surgery helped her. Helped her have a good nap.
[00:22:58] [SPEAKER_00] Okay, well, that's good. That's good.
[00:23:00] [SPEAKER_04] But your boyfriend, your Irish boyfriend got fired from mob land. I'm hurting. I've heard he's... What happened?
[00:23:07] [SPEAKER_10] So, is he Irish or British?
[00:23:09] [SPEAKER_04] I thought he was Irish.
[00:23:11] [SPEAKER_10] I don't know about all that. Paddles... I will look it up. Google that. He really sounds very British in mob land. He's from Hammersmith, London. He's English. He's British. Yeah, don't put that on us. Not when he's a problematic person.
[00:23:27] [SPEAKER_11] He says he's of English and Irish descent.
[00:23:28] [SPEAKER_10] Well, we're all of English. Well, I'm not.
[00:23:31] [SPEAKER_11] As far as the Biffas. The Biffas. British Independent Film Awards. Oh, the British Independent Film Awards. The Biffas.
[00:23:39] [SPEAKER_10] There's a Hollywood one you're not in on. Yeah, come on. You've got to get in on that. Biffas.
[00:23:43] [SPEAKER_04] I've got to get invited to that award ceremony. That sounds like fun.
[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_10] Isn't the big one the BAFTAs, though?
[00:23:48] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. Yes. Yes. The BAFTA Film Awards. That's their Oscars.
[00:23:52] [SPEAKER_10] You need to go once and report back to the podcast about what goes on over there. Or is it the same as ours? Or is it better?
[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. I think it's more glamorous. That's what all my publicist friends say. Because it's held at like the Royal Halt musical. And like everyone from around the world flies in for it.
[00:24:10] [SPEAKER_07] Oh. Amazing.
[00:24:11] [SPEAKER_04] It's very glamorous. And people get dressed up even more.
[00:24:14] [SPEAKER_10] Well, let's focus on that. Because we can't afford tickets to World Cup or tennis or the Knicks. The Knicks. So let's focus on the BAFTAs. Let's go where the people aren't going. You get... The Knicks, that was crazy. I know. They're going to beat whoever. I don't care who wins San Antonio versus Oklahoma. Maybe Oklahoma could beat them. Maybe. I don't... San Antonio, not yet. Not yet. I love that 7'4 guy, but he's like a baby giraffe.
[00:24:44] [SPEAKER_10] He doesn't really have it all together yet. Yeah, he does. But that's sports. Okay, last question. Do you know why that Tom guy... Guess who really got him fired? Ellen Mirren.
[00:24:55] [SPEAKER_04] Why do you think that's...
[00:24:57] [SPEAKER_10] Oh. Well, that's...
[00:24:58] [SPEAKER_04] I haven't heard any inside story of like why it happened.
[00:25:00] [SPEAKER_10] Okay, because on Mobland, he was changing the script. He was showing up late. Everything was very disrespectful. And she had fucking had it. But apparently this is his M.O. Charlize, and now we'll never say her last name again. Theron.
[00:25:16] You got it.
[00:25:16] [SPEAKER_10] Theron. Theron. She didn't like him on another movie. This is his reputation. It's not a one-off. It's not like he threw one tantrum because he was mad. This is like a thing with this guy. And they've written him out. I liked Mobland. I thought it was good.
[00:25:30] [SPEAKER_06] That was great.
[00:25:30] [SPEAKER_10] They have written him out. I think once Helen Mirren says no, no.
[00:25:37] [SPEAKER_11] Nay, nay.
[00:25:38] [SPEAKER_10] I think it's your bye-bye. No matter who you are.
[00:25:41] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. Well, if he is showing up late, that's one of the things that I just don't understand about people that are late to work. I don't know. It's just like, you got everybody waiting for you. Even if you're like waiting tables. Right. Remember when we were servers? Yeah. We have to cover somebody's station because they were late until they got there. And we had to get out the waters. We had to get out the ice tea to the table. And then we had to turn it over when they showed up. Yeah. And they got the tip.
[00:26:08] [SPEAKER_10] Yeah. Isn't that nice for them? I know. Yeah. Well, Helen Mirren says so, there'll be somebody else. I don't know how they kill him off, but they'll kill him off and put somebody else in. Mobland's a bit of a stretch, but I like her. And I like the British, you know, thing.
[00:26:23] [SPEAKER_04] Pierce Brosnan. Do you like Pierce Brosnan?
[00:26:25] [SPEAKER_10] I love him. And he's so handsome in his Irish clothes. He's Irish.
[00:26:29] [SPEAKER_04] Is he? Yeah.
[00:26:29] [SPEAKER_10] Yes. Yes.
[00:26:31] [SPEAKER_04] We'll take him.
[00:26:31] [SPEAKER_10] He could be 100 and he'd still be smoking hot.
[00:26:35] [SPEAKER_04] And his wife just lost a lot of weight, too. Like, they were showing pictures of them, like, on a red carpet. And it's just like, they are so beautiful.
[00:26:42] [SPEAKER_10] And he's been married to the same lady since they were, like, 25, I think.
[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_04] Well, his first wife died of cancer, and then he got remarried. Yeah, he had kids with the first wife.
[00:26:52] [SPEAKER_10] Oh, okay. All right. The last thing I want to talk about, did you watch The Crash?
[00:27:00] [SPEAKER_01] Yes, we talked about this. How crazy are those kids?
[00:27:03] [SPEAKER_10] Okay. Well, I hadn't seen... In prison, she has all the... Yeah, she has all the girlfriends in prison. What? Yeah.
[00:27:12] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah. The sociopath has girlfriends now?
[00:27:14] [SPEAKER_10] Psychopath, which is worse than a sociopath.
[00:27:17] [SPEAKER_03] Thank you.
[00:27:17] [SPEAKER_10] But I hadn't seen it when I talked to you. I just knew that you just told me that the children were crazy.
[00:27:23] [SPEAKER_04] Children are going crazy.
[00:27:24] [SPEAKER_10] Yeah. Well, she's just a pure psychopath. I mean... And then my brother was texting me, well, I don't know if I would have voted for murder. I mean, I think she did it, but I don't know if they proved it. He goes, how do they even know she was driving? I'm like, how much bourbon did you have when you watched this path? She was found in the driver's seat, and her Prada slipper was stuck to the accelerator.
[00:27:51] [SPEAKER_10] I'm like, Jesus, if you were in the jury room, I would kill you, Pat. You've got to go all the way back to the beginning? Like, you didn't even want... He goes, well, I may have had some bourbon when I watched it. But the parents... This is my thing. This is going to sound a little harsh, but I think if your kid under 18 murders someone, the parents should also be held responsible in some way, shape, or form.
[00:28:18] [SPEAKER_07] Agreed.
[00:28:18] [SPEAKER_10] Yeah. Agreed. Because those parents... Those parents... Right. Although I feel bad when it's completely mentally health-driven, and they're like, we did everything. And then he ran away and went crazy. You know, there's no mental health. There's no, like, places. There used to be in the 80s where you can... Yeah. Yeah, my mom worked at them. Those are all closed. So I just think those parents... I think she was probably a monster when she was like seven or eight, and then they just did anything they could to keep her happy.
[00:28:48] [SPEAKER_10] And then that just feeds the monster. And she's completely crazy. Because Patrick goes, well, why would she kill herself too? I go, I don't think she thought she would. I think she thought, I'm going to drive in this building and kill you. Not me. Because she turned the car. She turned the car enough so that it hit the passenger side more. Yep.
[00:29:07] [SPEAKER_04] Agreed. I saw that, and I agree with you because I watched both. You told me to watch the Hulu thing too.
[00:29:13] [SPEAKER_10] The Hulu one's good. And the Hulu version contains all these texts she sent to him. I'm going to kill you. I'm going to, I mean, I'm going to drive you, basically drive you. She said what she was going to do, and she did it. Yeah.
[00:29:25] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah, and it's all in text. Yeah. I just read all the text messages about...
[00:29:29] [SPEAKER_10] I did too.
[00:29:30] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah, he was trying to get away from her, and we need to take a break. And she's like, I'm going to fucking kill somebody. Pardon my language, turn my children. But I, you know, she was texting, and it was just like, it's clearly there.
[00:29:43] [SPEAKER_07] Yes.
[00:29:44] [SPEAKER_04] That's, that's not, it's not reasonable down. No.
[00:29:48] [SPEAKER_10] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I love how these kids are making money on OnlyFans and stuff. It's trying to shit their parents may or may not know about. I don't know. No. But like, you're doing weird things, like people have foot fetishes, you just do your show pictures. I can't, that's, they're making money. How is this girl an influencer? Like, who's giving, I think they give them free shit. I know one kid in Nashville who has an account, and it's a kid of a friend, husband and wife,
[00:30:18] [SPEAKER_10] and I don't know, it's harmless, it's lipstick and shit like that. But I think they'll send you. What? Yeah. As an influencer. Like, how do you become an influencer? Like, I, I don't know what I have on Instagram. Like, three, 300,000 people. Like, if I said, can you send me some lipstick and I'll talk about it? They probably would. But I just don't even know, who has time for that in a day? Oh, let me make a video of me and this lipstick I don't even know anything about.
[00:30:47] [SPEAKER_10] I mean, if I'm going to do anything, it's going to be for something that I really actually like. I love Barry Blast. But the kids, I don't think they get paid for that. I think they just get free shit in the mail. Some of them get paid. No, the big ones get paid. But this is a, this is low, low grade. Where are they? I, I know. Look at your closet. I know. Gross. I know. I'm like, look at your shitty hangers and your shitty closet. Horrible.
[00:31:17] [SPEAKER_10] I'm a, I am a Nazi about hangers. I can't. I am Joan Crawford.
[00:31:21] [SPEAKER_02] No, I'm on wire hangers.
[00:31:22] [SPEAKER_10] Like, I will go crazy. I don't care if I had to take out a home equity loan to get better hangers. I would fucking do it. I can't stand shitty hangers. Cause that's all we had as kids. My mom would bring home like 80,000 plastic hangers from Target. I'm like, oh, these are terrible. You can't line them up. Right. They don't slide on the bar. Right. It's my one little tiny thing. I'm an asshole about hangers. Well, I'm a snob. I'm a golf snob.
[00:31:52] [SPEAKER_04] I have an assignment. Okay. I, I, I have a question first before you hang up on me. Um, have you heard of the series off campus?
[00:32:02] [SPEAKER_10] No, no. Oh, wait. Is this a hockey thing again about two hockey players, but they're straight, but they're in love versus the gay version.
[00:32:12] [SPEAKER_04] It's the straight version.
[00:32:14] [SPEAKER_10] Yep. Okay.
[00:32:15] [SPEAKER_04] Off campus. And it's like, it's about hockey players and it's about this young woman who's in love with a singer. And then she becomes, uh, friends with a hockey player and they pretend to be a couple in order to make the singer jealous and want to date her. And it's based on four novels and each novel is a complete story, but it's about each player's line. All right.
[00:32:45] [SPEAKER_04] My sisters are in love with the story. Your sisters. Yeah. And we started watching it last night. I'm just like, well, wow, there's a lot of nudity in this.
[00:32:53] [SPEAKER_10] Can we watch this with mom?
[00:32:56] [SPEAKER_04] No.
[00:32:57] [SPEAKER_10] Okay.
[00:32:57] [SPEAKER_04] Bobby, can we talk about... Would you watch heated rivalry?
[00:33:01] [SPEAKER_10] No. No, but I'd tell my mom to watch it. I think secretly my mom likes dirty movies.
[00:33:06] [SPEAKER_11] My dad's like, you want to watch a hockey movie? No. God, not with you. Not a hockey... Wow.
[00:33:12] [SPEAKER_10] I think, see, I think secretly my mom likes dirty movies and she's watches all kinds of secret shit.
[00:33:17] [SPEAKER_11] Ask Bobby about that Sidney Sweeney show he made you watch.
[00:33:20] [SPEAKER_10] Oh my God. Bob, I watched one episode of Euphoria. First of all, no children. The children should not be watching that. Crazy. I mean, Jesus. I think they are. Yeah. Now I look at them all differently. Like, I look at my nephew's... That's what's happening. Xavier. He's 25. And he's wonderful. But then I think, are you doing like weird shit? I'm not around. Like, I just look at them differently now. I go, let me see your phone. I want to check your phone.
[00:33:48] [SPEAKER_11] Is that what's happening in the Inland Empire?
[00:33:51] [SPEAKER_09] That's what's happening in Kansas City. Late videos.
[00:33:56] [SPEAKER_04] Sidney Sweeney's character has an OnlyFans account too.
[00:34:00] [SPEAKER_10] Oh my God. I'm going to go on OnlyFans. Does anybody like... You know what? I have a lot of age spots on my hand. Is anybody into that as a fetish? I could do that. Well, you know what? I want to ask people if anybody's a doctor, if they can look at these and tell me if their skin cancer is because I don't have time to drive to the west side of Nashville right now. Well, I do have the time. I just don't feel like it. Right.
[00:34:21] [SPEAKER_04] Well, congratulations on checking out Euphoria. Richard Gere's son joined the house.
[00:34:26] [SPEAKER_10] I heard and I saw a picture of him. He's very cute and he's not ripped. I kind of like that he just looks like a normal guy.
[00:34:33] Yeah. Yeah.
[00:34:33] [SPEAKER_10] He's cute. Yeah.
[00:34:34] [SPEAKER_06] He's very cute. I didn't even know he had a kid. Richard Gere. Richard Gere's smoking hot. Yeah.
[00:34:41] [SPEAKER_04] He just popped up.
[00:34:42] [SPEAKER_10] All right, Bobby. New Star Alert. Now, is there anybody...
[00:34:45] [SPEAKER_04] Gere's left.
[00:34:46] [SPEAKER_10] Yeah, right. We're running out of Kelly Weeks. Is there anybody left on the docket you recommend?
[00:34:51] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, Dr. Jill Bygman's coming up. So, I'll have to hear her take on things.
[00:34:58] [SPEAKER_07] Okay.
[00:34:59] [SPEAKER_04] That's... Yeah. Such a loaded.
[00:35:01] [SPEAKER_10] I think they got a new puppy. I'd like her to bring that. Tell her to bring that puppy.
[00:35:05] [SPEAKER_04] Okay. All right. That's what I'll do. I'm going to send an email right now as we hang out. Yeah. Bring the new puppy.
[00:35:10] [SPEAKER_10] Bring the dog. Yep. Okay. It'll diffuse everything.
[00:35:13] [SPEAKER_04] Great. So, off campus. Let's talk off campus next week.
[00:35:16] [SPEAKER_10] All right. I'll go start it. If your sisters like it, maybe I will. I'll go give it. Yeah. I'll start it.
[00:35:21] [SPEAKER_04] They've been sitting. They've been sitting. Oh. Oh. All the children are loving it.
[00:35:25] [SPEAKER_10] Oh. Okay.
[00:35:26] [SPEAKER_04] We're on. All right.
[00:35:27] [SPEAKER_10] All right.
[00:35:27] [SPEAKER_04] Have a good one.
[00:35:28] [SPEAKER_10] Goodbye.
[00:35:28] [SPEAKER_04] Bye, Bobby.
[00:35:29] [SPEAKER_11] Get better. I've never heard of off campus.
[00:35:34] [SPEAKER_10] I read about it because they were saying it's basically a straight version of the gay version of what was the hockey one.
[00:35:41] [SPEAKER_11] Hated rivalry. Yeah.
[00:35:42] [SPEAKER_10] That.
[00:35:43] [SPEAKER_11] So, the hockey players are men or women?
[00:35:46] [SPEAKER_10] They're men.
[00:35:48] [SPEAKER_11] Okay.
[00:35:49] [SPEAKER_10] Yeah.
[00:35:49] [SPEAKER_11] I don't really understand it, but. I don't. Well, they're straight guys. Okay. I don't know. It's their lives. And they fall in love with women. Yeah. Because they're straight. That's how that will work. I do get that. Straight mean this plus this. Straight mean me man. Me like woman. Yes. There's your math.
[00:36:10] [SPEAKER_02] Okay. Let's put that for yourself.
[00:36:13] [SPEAKER_10] We're going to do a few males because I do like the team emails. I can't read them all, but I read a lot. But this is a very nice one from Termite Bonnie. She likes talking about the data center. She works as an AI governance executive. Now, there's a company I could be a white monkey for. Who? Whatever that company is. AI governance executive. And then. That's a position. That's a position. I know. But if it was an AI governance company in China.
[00:36:43] [SPEAKER_07] Yeah.
[00:36:44] Fine.
[00:36:44] [SPEAKER_10] Anyway. She's audited many data centers in her 30 plus career. I can't even believe they've been around for that long. And I know people say, well, this is how you do Zooms because they have all that stuff. First of all, fuck Zoom. I don't ever want to do another. I will. I have to. But I don't like it. I don't like it. And I don't find it necessary. Clearly. It's just, I'm going to go all the way back. This is how old school I am. I will remember when I was with APA, that was my agency, and they told me to go buy a
[00:37:14] [SPEAKER_10] fax machine. I was making $800 a week before taxes, before everything, before I paid commission. That's what I made. $800 a week. And they said, go buy a fax machine. And at the time, they were a lot, like $500. And I go, why? Why do I need one? Well, we want to fax you your contracts instead of mailing them. I go, well, I think mailing has been working fine this whole time.
[00:37:39] [SPEAKER_11] Let's support the economy.
[00:37:40] [SPEAKER_10] So if you want to save yourself money, then you buy my fax machine. Why do I have to buy it? Right. And I said, I don't even believe it's the future. I think it's a thing. And sure enough, it was a thing, and it's gone. And I spent...
[00:37:53] [SPEAKER_11] Remember the noise it made?
[00:37:55] [SPEAKER_10] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:37:59] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:38:02] [SPEAKER_06] Yeah. Yeah. You're like, oh, I'm getting a fax. Like, I thought it was bullshit.
[00:38:12] [SPEAKER_10] I thought, you know what? APA in Los Angeles, why don't you send all of us a free fax machine in the mail and say, good luck hunking this up, Kathleen, because we're going to fax all your shit to you now.
[00:38:25] [SPEAKER_11] With that rolling paper? Yeah. Oh, my God.
[00:38:28] [SPEAKER_10] The only thing before that was the green and white paper with the holes on the side.
[00:38:32] [SPEAKER_11] Yep. Yep. Yep.
[00:38:35] [SPEAKER_10] AOL.
[00:38:36] AOL.
[00:38:37] [SPEAKER_11] I miss the dial-up. Yeah, that'd be cool. Anyway, she has answers. Half of our audience have no idea what we're talking about.
[00:38:45] [SPEAKER_10] She says she does know the data centers in San Francisco Financial District. I've been there many times. Okay. And downtown Sacramento do not make any noise outside of the building. Okay, that's good. Right. But these ones they're showing online right now are making a humming noise that would drive me so batshit I'd be the lady on the porch with a shotgun in no time. Yes. In no time. So I don't know if it's gotten weird or they're just way, way bigger. Mm-hmm. She says the goal is to make data centers as physically inconspicuous as possible. That'd be good.
[00:39:15] [SPEAKER_10] Yeah. Yeah. They go through an audit every 12 months to ensure security. And most likely your bank has been leveraging a data center for data processing and storage for decades. I totally believe that. Absolutely. But again, I'm not for it. I'm not for online banking. No. I don't care. I'll just go the old way. I know this sounds like an old person, but what are the benefits versus the—I can't think of the word. The downside of what you're doing? I guess.
[00:39:45] [SPEAKER_10] Now, given the demands of societies and companies, the need for AI-powered functions is imperative. Yes, beyond the cat videos, which is cute. I mean, I like that she's saying here's the thing. Yeah. It's just I'm not a progressive person in general. No. I'm— Well— I'd go back to horses. I mean, I'm the wrong person.
[00:40:05] [SPEAKER_11] You and Dusty.
[00:40:06] [SPEAKER_10] Me and Dusty Slay should have married, and we need to live off the grid with horses and baby don't many donkeys, and we would have the time of our goddamn lives. Good for you. A bigger question. How much of the electricity grid do EVs take up, and what power—
[00:40:23] [SPEAKER_11] Electric vehicles.
[00:40:25] [SPEAKER_10] Right. Yeah, I don't know. Way above my pay grid. And what powers up electricity grids. Those are—I know that, too. There's an argument to be made for the batteries and the amount of electricity, but the cars clearly aren't taking as much as these data centers. No. I don't. I don't. I—so my cousin Mary, her boys are like—I'm the godmother of her oldest boy. He worked on some. So he's young, 25, 30.
[00:40:54] [SPEAKER_10] And he was saying, Mom—he's trying to explain to me and my cousin Mary because we're old. Mom, this is what they're doing. You couldn't do this without him. You couldn't do that without him. I agree. But everything you're saying, I want to say to that Patrick—there's a million Patricks in my family. Patrick, I don't care about any of that. Right. I don't—I'd actually rather we not. Right. Right. What was wrong with taking a check to the bank? The ATAM cards were fun. I'm about some progress.
[00:41:24] [SPEAKER_10] I'm just saying. Thank you, Bonnie, for sending that, though. I do appreciate it. Smart termite. Here's another one. Mary—they're very smart. Everybody that is in on this podcast, I don't get hardly any idiots and not much negativity. And if there is negativity, sometimes it's criticism that I should hear. And sometimes I just delete you from my life and block you because you're just an asshole. Okay. This is from Mary. A hard no-one. I won't say that.
[00:41:57] [SPEAKER_10] Okay. Listened to last week's podcast. Left this comment. It's a week late. No big deal. My brother has a beautiful place in Lake Michigan in Port Washington, Wisconsin, and a ton of farmland where his property begins was sold off for data center last summer, which is in the process being developed now. The Great Lakes is the largest freshwater body on Earth. And so not surprising if alien spacemen or whatever discovered it. Scary.
[00:42:23] [SPEAKER_10] I'm not prone to conspiracy theories either, but I think you're right on the data centers. You might be interested in the Unsolved Mysteries episode. Netflix season three, Something in the Sky. Listen to this. In March 1994, over 300 Michigan residents called to report something very strange in the sky and ultimately over Lake Michigan sucking up the water. What? Like a spaceship sucking up the water. 300 people called.
[00:42:50] [SPEAKER_07] Wow.
[00:42:50] [SPEAKER_10] Are they all crazy? No.
[00:42:52] [SPEAKER_07] No.
[00:42:53] [SPEAKER_10] In another matter, I think you might enjoy the book, Grandma, like in grammar, Moses, the effect of data centers is going to affect everyone eventually. And she's very complimentary. Thank you, Mary. Cool. I got to look that up. 1994. So I got to go see this. Unsolved Mysteries, Netflix season three, episode two, Something in the Sky. Wow. That's crazy. I got a cruise update, boots on the ground from Jen.
[00:43:20] [SPEAKER_10] Man, alcohol is now heavily moderate because I'm like, what about me buying wine in that shop? Right. Conundrum, which I will never drink again in my life. Have you ever drank so much of an alcohol at one time that you banned it forever? Mine is conundrum. Took me a long time to get back to tequila. Yeah, me too. Tequila. It took a while.
[00:43:39] [SPEAKER_11] I had a bad college experience.
[00:43:41] [SPEAKER_10] Me too. Well, I was a beyond college, but I could on the cruise ship I went to, granted, it was a while ago, 10 years ago. John Bowman bought a thousand bottles of conundrum and me and him and John Panette and Lewis and all of us drank all of them. And I just wanted to vomit anyway. But anyway, I don't understand when we're saying the lady got too drunk on the ship and they're saying, oh, I monitor with the, here's what she, update, update.
[00:44:12] [SPEAKER_10] She said alcohol is heavily monitored, which is fine. We've slowed down a bit. She said, I don't really care if they, you know, she's not going to do the 15 drinks a day. But even on the last Alaska cruise, they would send bottles of wine to the room for any inconvenience. That's not happening and neither is buying bottles for the room. Overall, though, it was a great experience. She liked being at, so I guess they don't have the wine shop anymore. Oh. According to Jen.
[00:44:38] [SPEAKER_06] Oh, okay.
[00:44:39] [SPEAKER_10] I'm just repeating what everyone says.
[00:44:41] [SPEAKER_06] Gotcha. Update. We're moving into real shit. Okay. We're going to, well, since we're on it, well, let's do a happy one first, even though it's a little sad.
[00:44:54] [SPEAKER_10] A happy what? Update. Update. Can we do that again then? Update. Thank you. This is, okay, so they've, they've, I'm a Beagle fan. It's my favorite dog. Mm-hmm. If I could have a dog, that's my favorite breed. Um, and the Ridgeland Farms thing, I believe it's in Wisconsin. People have been sent to jail for rape. They're trying to get the Beagles out.
[00:45:17] [SPEAKER_05] Yeah.
[00:45:17] [SPEAKER_10] Because they're being subject to horrible experiments. And you know what? If somebody said, Kathleen, you have cancer and you could die right now or we could take this Beagle's eyes out, I'd say, fuck you. Don't do that. Right. Oh, well. So figure. They're so cruel. Figure it out some other way. Mm-hmm. Figure it out some other way. Just because Beagles are nice and small and all the things they chose them for, for experimenting on, is, I just am not a fan.
[00:45:43] [SPEAKER_10] Anyway, all these people, including Ricky Gervais, whatever you think of his comedy or not, ignore that for the moment. He's a big, they busted out a ton of them. That's so great. And I follow them all on Instagram. They're learning how to go in grass and be a dog.
[00:45:57] [SPEAKER_11] 1,800 Beagles, it says.
[00:45:59] [SPEAKER_10] Now, here's the thing. They freed a shitload.
[00:46:01] [SPEAKER_11] Yeah.
[00:46:02] [SPEAKER_10] But it's not over yet. There's still 650 remaining dogs.
[00:46:09] [SPEAKER_06] What?
[00:46:10] [SPEAKER_10] Yeah.
[00:46:11] God.
[00:46:12] [SPEAKER_10] This guy. Let's go. And I don't know if he's a Republican or Democrat, so don't yell at me. I just saw a post. He's a representative. Mark Pocan.
[00:46:22] [SPEAKER_11] How do you spell it?
[00:46:23] [SPEAKER_10] P-O-C-A-N. Just got off a productive call with the USDA where I learned that Ridgeland Farms has been told to surrender their federal breeding license by July 1st or the USDA would take official action. Great. They also gave us an official answer on how many dogs are left in the facility that they are fucking with. 650. Even though Ridgeland is losing their state and potentially federal licenses, it doesn't stop the on-search research they're conducting. Okay.
[00:46:52] [SPEAKER_10] So this guy's trying to do, I don't know. He's a Democrat. Is he? Okay.
[00:46:56] [SPEAKER_11] I didn't know. I didn't look it up. He's also the co-chair of the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus.
[00:47:03] [SPEAKER_10] Good. Fine. I don't, I didn't even care. I don't even care. He's coming for them. Just go do the right thing. Yeah. Right. Get those beagles out. He was born in Kenosha.
[00:47:13] [SPEAKER_11] I like to say it. I love Wisconsin. I am from Kenosha.
[00:47:17] [SPEAKER_10] I'm from Kenosha. With their accent.
[00:47:20] [SPEAKER_11] That's great. 650. I mean, come on.
[00:47:23] [SPEAKER_10] Update. This is our data center update because it's the story. Here's what I don't get either. How come, like that lady who was nice and wrote, she's been doing this for 30 years. Why is it all of a sudden we're hearing about massive ones everywhere? But it's, I don't keep up on this shit. I don't read hard articles like that because I don't even understand what I'm reading. But it's come into the general public's vernacular in the last year and a half. Why now?
[00:47:52] [SPEAKER_10] Why are entire towns going, what the fuck? And they're huge. Maybe because they're bigger? They're not hidden inside the bank? I don't know. Yeah.
[00:48:02] [SPEAKER_11] Here's what I was saying. It's bigger and it's tracking our personal data.
[00:48:06] [SPEAKER_10] A lot of people think they're surveillance centers and I don't even, okay. I mean, I know that's probably not good. But I also just assume I'm always being, you're always on camera somewhere. If you're in a parking lot, you're on the street. I don't know.
[00:48:20] [SPEAKER_03] Don't do bad things.
[00:48:20] [SPEAKER_10] Airport. Right. Don't do bad things.
[00:48:22] [SPEAKER_03] Don't do bad things. And if you do, do them in the bathroom.
[00:48:24] [SPEAKER_10] That's why in the crash, that show, they showed the girls in court. There's a giant screen and they showed her Instagram posts and her TikTok posts. And I thought, ooh, I never thought about like, but mine would just be funny. Right. Like there's nothing because Kathleen, is this you from a Snapchat video where you are a rabbit and you're- Dancing rabbit.
[00:48:54] [SPEAKER_10] Dancing rabbit. I've seen that one. Telling people if they don't like it to fuck off. Yes. That is totally me. Go to the next one. I become a giraffe. It's so funny. Snapchat, all those filters are really fun for a hot minute.
[00:49:07] [SPEAKER_11] Yep. And your uncle knew it.
[00:49:08] [SPEAKER_10] Yeah. My uncle Jimmy sends me one a day. He loves it.
[00:49:12] [SPEAKER_11] Great.
[00:49:12] [SPEAKER_10] He didn't quit either. He's done it for a long time. He's kept it. Yeah. A lot of people found it and then used it and then went, okay, I'm good. Kevin O'Leary. Mm-hmm. Shark tank. Jack Straw. Yep. I hate it when Irish people are bad people. He says his huge data center will create 10,000 construction jobs. This is what I've said. It will initially. Right. But then they will go. Well, they investigated the whole thing.
[00:49:41] [SPEAKER_10] Permanent jobs, 2,000.
[00:49:45] [SPEAKER_06] Out of 10. Okay. That's. So you build your. Yeah.
[00:49:50] [SPEAKER_10] Right. He's completely lying.
[00:49:53] [SPEAKER_06] Yes.
[00:49:54] [SPEAKER_10] And that's not even a guarantee. The numbers are fluid.
[00:49:58] Fuck off.
[00:49:59] [SPEAKER_10] Right.
[00:50:00] Yeah.
[00:50:00] [SPEAKER_10] So, no, because the people leave, guys. I mean, Pennsylvania. Township erupts over $5 billion data center plan. Rural Pennsylvania. Town packed hall meeting. They do not want their farmland. It's lower Mount Bethel Township in Pennsylvania. I don't know where that's at. Pennsylvania term match. You can tell us about that. Got it in the show. There come. But the towns are coming out against this.
[00:50:28] [SPEAKER_10] But like the one in Missouri, we threw everybody off the council. But the thing's still going through. It didn't. Great. We fired the people. We should. That's a good thing. But, you know, Google announces a $15 billion center in mid-Missouri. What happened with that? It's going through. But this is a new one located next to an already approved $33 million data center run by Amazon.
[00:50:59] [SPEAKER_10] Oh, my God. This is the one that's in Herman, Missouri. A guy emailed me about this. So Herman, Missouri is the most adorable. St. Louis was founded by the Germans and the French. Like all of our architectures, Frenchie. Yep. And then there's a lot of German influence. Herman, Missouri, they made it. They have all these wineries out there. And it's the cutest little German town. You feel like you just went to Germany. Right. It's adorable. Well, this is by Herman. Because my brother sent it, too. He goes, Herman, Missouri is getting it. They can't stop it.
[00:51:28] [SPEAKER_10] They're going to take up 2,000 acres. Bush Stadium and Ballpark Village, the party area around it, take up 28 acres. This is 2,000. Right. Making the combined data center for roughly the size, where the St. Louis Cardinals play, of 70 Bush Stadiums.
[00:51:45] [SPEAKER_02] Crazy.
[00:51:46] [SPEAKER_10] Well, this is farmland. Right. So we're just not going to eat anymore? No. No. I don't like this podcast to be serious. I just don't understand. We need. Who is allowing on us? Well, I think I know. Yeah, we know. I mean, but they're getting paid.
[00:52:03] [SPEAKER_11] That's what nobody discloses. Right. Go dig about the payoffs.
[00:52:07] [SPEAKER_10] Who's paying off who? And can we stop it?
[00:52:10] [SPEAKER_11] They're generally dumb about it, and they show up at a new sports car. Update!
[00:52:16] [SPEAKER_10] This is so great. Well, I'm obsessed with Mount Everest. As you know, it's climbing season. Yep. We are in the thick of it. Yep. Great news. At the age of 52, Cammy Rita Sherpa beat his own record, summited for the 26th time. Nice. Yeah, look at that. That little mouse just... Boom.
[00:52:40] [SPEAKER_11] Didn't you tell me sometimes that some of the Sherpas do it like once a day?
[00:52:45] [SPEAKER_10] During climbing season? Yeah. Yeah. Or they'll at least go help up at Camp 2 or 3 or 4, and then go get the idiots who don't know how to climb. Here's a little something if you're Indian, from India, the country, not Native American. Two Indian climbers successfully reach the summit, but tragically died during their descent.
[00:53:05] What?
[00:53:06] [SPEAKER_06] Well, they made it to the top.
[00:53:08] [SPEAKER_10] I got the picture. And they died on the way down.
[00:53:10] [SPEAKER_11] That sucks.
[00:53:11] [SPEAKER_06] But at least they made it. It sets a record. This lady, one of my heroes, she should be a king or queen, but she's not doing a plane.
[00:53:21] [SPEAKER_07] She's all... I know. Lopcapah. No. Huckpah.
[00:53:29] [SPEAKER_10] I'll just say Huckpah. Okay. Sure, but she's the woman they made the show about, the documentary, who had in off-season had to work at Whole Foods and shit. Well, her daughters got it together. They have formed a hiking company. She doesn't have to work at Whole Foods anymore. Well, first of all, where are the sponsors? Right. You know, come on. Go help them. Can you get Patagonia? That guy's dead, sadly. He was a wonderful person. I don't know. North Face? Who else? Somebody. Who makes boots? I don't climb. I don't know.
[00:53:57] [SPEAKER_10] Anyway, she broke her own record. Okay. And she made it 11 times. She's now done it 11 times. Shut up. And she's not young anymore. I don't know how old she is, but she's not in her 20s. She's getting old. She's got children in her 20s. Okay. And just so we know, this season, a Sherpa climber, sadly, died near Camp 3 on Mount Everest, taking this to the world death toll to 3 this climbing season. And I'm probably four days behind. Okay.
[00:54:25] [SPEAKER_10] So, that said, he was the grandson of legend Ang Rida Sherpa. Okay. He died in a fall.
[00:54:32] [SPEAKER_07] Oh.
[00:54:33] [SPEAKER_10] But here's some good news for the Sherpas.
[00:54:35] [SPEAKER_11] Okay.
[00:54:35] [SPEAKER_10] For decades, the Western companies ran Everest expeditions while Sherpa guides did the hard work for a fraction of the pay. That's changed. Nepali owner and operated companies have intensified competition in recent years with experienced Sherpa, many with 10 plus years, 10 plus Everett summits. Now, running a full expedition and cutting out the traditional Western guide entirely. Foreigners now spend 45 to 100 grand to climb.
[00:55:02] [SPEAKER_10] And while Nepal's permit revenue has also grown with 360, the lines go on Instagram. Just put in Everest. It's crazy. It's a three-hour wait.
[00:55:13] [SPEAKER_07] Yeah.
[00:55:13] [SPEAKER_10] The one guy said it was three to five hours. And you're supposed to just stand there. Right. Freezing. And he said, I kept trying to get my toes to move. He got frostbite on, I don't know. Everything. Everything.
[00:55:24] [SPEAKER_03] Horrible.
[00:55:25] [SPEAKER_10] At least the wealth is staying with them. That's the good news of this year's climbing season. Sports update.
[00:55:34] [SPEAKER_06] This is terrible.
[00:55:35] [SPEAKER_11] Oh, no.
[00:55:36] [SPEAKER_06] FIFA. Oh, my God.
[00:55:38] Oh, my God.
[00:55:39] [SPEAKER_10] Me and my brother keep checking tickets. Because I'm like, go to Kansas City, Pat. He wants to go to Dallas. Why? Well, because Kansas City has good teams, but they're not playing good teams. So they won't play the good players. So if you want to see Messi, right. Right. They might let him play for a while because they hate people paid. And then they yank him. Yep. You know. And he's got Kevin, his youngest, is really into soccer. So he won't stick. And they might be another 20 years before the World Cup's here. Ever. Oh, yeah. So you got to do it. This is not like the U.S. Open debacle in tennis that's happening. No.
[00:56:09] [SPEAKER_10] I send all tennis things to my friend, Lorene, and then she explains them in normal English. But I did because I always go, what is going on with your sport, Lorene? These people are crazy. The children are nuts. The children are crazy. Yeah. And then the one guy I felt so sorry for, this is in whatever they're playing now on clay. I don't. Is it the French Open yet? Is it? I don't. I don't know.
[00:56:32] [SPEAKER_11] I don't follow tennis.
[00:56:33] [SPEAKER_10] I like it at the end. I do like it. I like it. I just am not like a diehard. It was a French guy and he was saying he was going to shit in his pants. Literally. Shit. I ain't going to shit in my pants. It's the French Open. Okay. So we're in the beginning of the French Open. It seems like. It was shit. I saw Osaka come out in one of her crazy outfits.
[00:56:57] [SPEAKER_11] Did she end up playing or did she have sad times?
[00:57:01] [SPEAKER_10] Did she have sad times and have to go and redeem her mental health? No. I believe she played in this Statue of Liberty outfit. I can't.
[00:57:08] [SPEAKER_11] But I don't think. I mean sometimes I think she's just like yeah.
[00:57:11] [SPEAKER_10] Well here's the thing. If you're delicate and fragile.
[00:57:14] [SPEAKER_11] Don't be a public figure. Yeah.
[00:57:16] [SPEAKER_10] It's not the time of day to be a public figure. You have to have thick skin and just not care. And that is hard because I do care. So I don't like it when there's evil things. That's why I stay out of things. You know people. What do you think about Chelsea Handler fighting with Tony Hatch? I don't think anything. No. I play golf.
[00:57:34] [SPEAKER_11] Don't even know.
[00:57:35] [SPEAKER_10] My comedy is golf. I stay on stage by myself. I'm not getting involved in any of this. Or shit. Mucho, mucho fun. Mucho. You guys fight. I'll be over here. Me and Ron will be at the bar. Notice Ron never says anything either. No. So the World Cup. Well wait. I want to go back to the French guy. Okay. He's screaming at the chair rump. Mm-hmm. I have diarrhea. I'm going to sheet in my pants. Nobody says that if they're lying.
[00:58:03] [SPEAKER_10] No one says that if they're lying. You don't even want to tell your best friend. You have diarrhea. No. You just want to go to the bathroom. And he was like, no, you must continue to play. He made him play. So he played another point because the match was almost over. I am tired. That dude ran off a court like there was a rhino chasing him. I've never. That is so embarrassing. I've always wondered what happened if you had to go to the bathroom. Do they let you? That's gross.
[00:58:32] [SPEAKER_10] Well, clearly not. No. You can finish the match. You will finish the point and you will go to sheet in the bathroom. This is the problem. And he's like, I'm going to sheet on the court. I'm going to sheet my pants.
[00:58:44] I'm going to sheet.
[00:58:45] [SPEAKER_10] Okay.
[00:58:46] [SPEAKER_03] That's funny.
[00:58:47] [SPEAKER_10] There is a mural in Dallas of a whale. I've seen it a million times. I love it. I read about that. FIFA comes in near town and they cover all labels, all everything. Like in Atlanta, the Mercedes Benz dome, they've covered up the Mercedes logo. It's all about them. Branding. While they covered up the mural.
[00:59:09] [SPEAKER_11] No, didn't they paint it over? They painted it over. Is that what I mean? Yeah. They didn't like drape it.
[00:59:12] [SPEAKER_10] Yeah. They paint over on the mural that graced two entire walls of the parking garage for nearly 30 years to make way for art related to the upcoming World Cup matches. Weiland, the artist who created the mural, said in a statement of destruction that it left him deeply disheartened. This is not the way to win friends and acquaintances. Go read that book from 100 years ago. Napoleon somebody, how to win friends and acquaintances. Jesus. I mean, at least maybe it'll give this guy another gig. Maybe he can paint it back. Right.
[00:59:42] [SPEAKER_10] Weiland, are you bored? You got any gigs? It's been there since 1999.
[00:59:49] Crazy.
[00:59:50] [SPEAKER_10] This is just not.
[00:59:52] [SPEAKER_11] I don't know. No, it's crazy.
[00:59:54] [SPEAKER_10] A little bit of more sports news. This is, I don't, I don't even know what you, there's going to be a UFC fight on the lawn at the White House. They are erecting a temporary coliseum that seats 5,000 people. Yeah. So, this is very Nero-like. Here's your circus. UFC, I understand the attraction. It's not for me. I think it's too violent. Am I a hypocrite? Absolutely.
[01:00:23] [SPEAKER_10] Because I love boxing. Why is one different than the other? I'm not sure to me. I just think UFC takes it to a level that alarms me. Like, I watched that girl die. Well, I... In that UFC fight. Well, I don't watch them, but I saw the clip. It's the women. She died. Well, it's the men, too. I don't feel like they call them soon enough. They just let them keep pounding till brain damage occurs. Like, I don't know. I understand that people like it. This is what we're going to have.
[01:00:50] [SPEAKER_11] We don't know the rules.
[01:00:51] [SPEAKER_10] June 14th.
[01:00:51] [SPEAKER_11] We don't know the rules.
[01:00:53] [SPEAKER_10] I do not know the rules. We don't get emails about the rules. No, I don't really care. Don't even email me. It's just, this is how grandma feels about this. Boxing, absolutely. UFC, and it's not right. It doesn't make any sense. I know that. June 14th. UFC freedom. It's Muhammad versus Bonfim, and then the cape versus Horiguchi. So it's a real fight. Yeah.
[01:01:21] [SPEAKER_11] Wow.
[01:01:22] [SPEAKER_10] Yeah.
[01:01:23] [SPEAKER_11] Huh.
[01:01:24] [SPEAKER_10] Yeah. Well, there you go. It's going to cost $100 million. It's not going to be in the ballroom. They say Dana White. It's not in the ballroom, because that's really a bunker. But it will be a ballroom on top. They say Dana White's paying for it. $100 million.
[01:01:39] [SPEAKER_11] I doubt that. No. I mean, if he is, good for him. Not getting into politics.
[01:01:44] [SPEAKER_10] No. I'm just saying, this is what we're, we have a circus now, literally. Yeah. A sporting event. Yeah. It's very Nero-like on the front lawn. But if you're a UFC fan, I wonder if it's a pay-per-view. I didn't look at that. Let's see. I don't know about that. Do you got to pay? Or do we all get to see it for free? Logistics and planning.
[01:02:10] [SPEAKER_07] Great.
[01:02:11] [SPEAKER_10] It's also Trump's birthday. He'll be 80 that day.
[01:02:14] [SPEAKER_11] What?
[01:02:14] [SPEAKER_10] Oh my God. Mm-hmm.
[01:02:15] [SPEAKER_11] 4,300 people will watch the event on the South Lawn, most of whom will be members of the military.
[01:02:21] [SPEAKER_06] Oh.
[01:02:22] [SPEAKER_11] 85,000 tickets will be made for free.
[01:02:25] [SPEAKER_06] Okay. Well, that's nice.
[01:02:25] [SPEAKER_11] Members of the public to watch the event at a nearby park.
[01:02:30] [SPEAKER_10] Well, it's not going to be televised?
[01:02:33] No.
[01:02:33] [SPEAKER_10] Well, that's nice for military people.
[01:02:36] Yep.
[01:02:36] [SPEAKER_10] Zach Brown is going to perform the U.S. National Anthem. I went to Iraq with him.
[01:02:41] [SPEAKER_06] What a crazy...
[01:02:43] [SPEAKER_10] I didn't even know what he did. I mean, I know he's a good singer, but I do like that song, Chicken Fried. Cold beer on a Friday night. Brr, brr. Brr, brr. Brr, brr. I turn the radio on. I went out every night to hear him sing that, and then Kelly Pickler sang it, with him was even better.
[01:03:00] [SPEAKER_11] Ah! Live and on demand, Paramount Plus.
[01:03:02] [SPEAKER_10] How much?
[01:03:03] [SPEAKER_11] You have to subscribe to Paramount Plus.
[01:03:05] [SPEAKER_10] Oh, that's it? Okay. Yep. All right. Fair enough.
[01:03:07] [SPEAKER_11] It's called UFC Freedom 250.
[01:03:09] [SPEAKER_10] UFC Freedom 250 for UFC people? There you go.
[01:03:12] [SPEAKER_11] I like the name Ilya. I hope he survives.
[01:03:18] [SPEAKER_10] Holy shit, they found it. Moving on.
[01:03:22] [SPEAKER_11] This is ridiculous.
[01:03:23] [SPEAKER_10] Well, did I have... I didn't have any other... Oh, the other sports news. Very, very sad. Kyle Busch died. That was horrible. I... I cry every day when I see his son. I have acquaintances with his brother, Kurt Busch, through Ron. I don't... There's no reason I wouldn't know. I don't... I was invited by Carl... I can't think of his name. He was so nice. A NASCAR person. I would like to go once. I just never seem to have the time. Carl Edwards, I think. Carl Edwards. Yeah.
[01:03:52] [SPEAKER_10] Well, he's from Missouri. I don't know. I did... You're all the race man. I did their award show in Miami for Sirius Radio, and they already knew who won, so it was a very bizarre award show. Mm-hmm. But some of them were so nice, and they came out, and they were like, how come you're not doing the jokes that I hear on Sirius? I'm like, I... They're pretty strict about... I can't. I can't. I got 20 pages of things I'm not allowed to talk about, and the only thing I could think
[01:04:21] [SPEAKER_10] of but left to talk about was food, and I said, you should hire John Panette, and they said, we already did. I'm like, okay. There you go. Anyway, it was very sad for Kyle, the Bush family, because in NASCAR, if you do not watch, I do know this, Carl was the bad boy. Kurt was the non-bad boy. They have little... Not characters, but they get reputations, and then they feed on that, and, you know...
[01:04:44] [SPEAKER_11] He likes to bump cars into the wall. Right.
[01:04:47] [SPEAKER_09] He's out there causing chaos. That's all that motherfucker's doing. He's just causing chaos.
[01:04:51] Eight!
[01:04:53] [SPEAKER_09] Again, Vic Henley, he passed away in one of my best friends. He had the greatest joke. He goes, there is just nothing dumber than listening to NASCAR talk radio.
[01:05:03] [SPEAKER_10] Let's go to caller number two, and they just yell out, eight! That's Taylor and Hart's number. And Jeff Fox were these greatest, you might be a redneck joke. If you have a Dale Jr. in your family, and there's no Dale Sr.
[01:05:21] [SPEAKER_11] You might be a redneck.
[01:05:22] [SPEAKER_10] Yeah, and you only understand that if you know that in racing, Dale Earnhardt... Dale... I can't even explain it. Dale Earnhardt was the father, and then he died in the crash, and then Dale Earnhardt Jr., but they call him Jr., so Dale Jr. Mm-hmm. Anyway, very sad for the Bush family and for racing people, and it was a pneumonia thing that led to sepsis, and he's only 41, and he has a son.
[01:05:46] [SPEAKER_11] It's heartbreaking. Yeah. I can't see it. I cry every day.
[01:05:49] [SPEAKER_10] Mm-hmm.
[01:05:51] [SPEAKER_11] They're keeping his number. Good. They put a freeze on his number, so his son... What was his number?
[01:05:56] [SPEAKER_06] Was he eight also?
[01:05:58] [SPEAKER_10] I don't think so.
[01:05:59] I don't know.
[01:06:00] [SPEAKER_11] Look up his number for Kyle. What was Kyle's number? Kyle.
[01:06:05] [SPEAKER_06] Eight. Eight. It is. Yeah.
[01:06:09] [SPEAKER_07] I think it was eight. Eight.
[01:06:11] [SPEAKER_10] How do you get eight? How do you get that away from Earnhardt? Doesn't matter, Kathleen. Focus.
[01:06:17] [SPEAKER_11] Holy shit, they found it.
[01:06:18] [SPEAKER_10] Number eight. Eight. This is great. This is why I love trail cams. When people want to talk about advances, don't send me a goddamn fax machine. No. Send me a trail cam. Exactly. That's how I like progress. A rare family of Andean mountain cats has been filmed for the first time using wild, using hidden trail cameras. These cats are so shy and hard to find that scientists often call them the ghost of the Andes. Oh, I like it. They kind of look like the size of a bigger than a house cat, no bigger than a bobcat,
[01:06:48] [SPEAKER_10] and they're really cute. The footage was captured by conservation group Big Cat Rescue working with local partners, blah, blah, blah. The video shows a mother and her single kitten moving quietly through the rocky slopes, giving scientists a rare public look into their secret lives. That's really cool. There's fewer than 2,200 in the world. Oh, my God. I know. They're threatened by a loss of habitat from mining, farming, and climate change. So we'll put a link if you want to see that. Cool. It's so, it's adorable.
[01:07:16] [SPEAKER_10] Here's another thing I'm going to send to my brother. So there's this diamond park in Arkansas that I've talked about many times. Patrick went, took his kids. They found absolutely nothing. They give you like a shovel and stuff. You go to this main building, and they tell you what to do, and they tell you the areas you're allowed to look. Well, a Pennsylvania woman found a 3.09 carat white diamond.
[01:07:41] [SPEAKER_11] Hey, Pat.
[01:07:42] [SPEAKER_10] How'd you miss that, Pat?
[01:07:43] [SPEAKER_11] He had bourbon.
[01:07:44] [SPEAKER_10] Keisha Smith found the diamond in a visit to the crater of the Diamonds Park in Arkansas. It brought an unexpected moment of light for Smith, who's revealing, she's healing from the loss of her son and her father. The discovery was meant to be. Smith named the jewel Zanovia Liberty Diamond in honor of her grandchildren and the significance of America's 250th birthday. I like it. 250th birthday. There. See, Pat, get back down there.
[01:08:12] [SPEAKER_11] The winner of UFC Freedom gets it. Focus.
[01:08:16] [SPEAKER_10] Maybe you don't drink bourbon in the gift shop while the kids are out looking. Why don't you get yourself out there off your bourbon trail? It's just a nip. Just a nip. Out there with your shovel upside down. This is weird. This is the last holy shit they found it. An 800-year-old skull. It's funny. Who's doing this? Is this a Turan? Because I have another one after this.
[01:08:39] [SPEAKER_10] An 800-year-old skull, a skull, was snatched this past week from a Czech church. Yes, it's a Turan. Was found encased in concrete. An expert's work to extract the relic. Revered as the skull of St. Dislava. The Czech police detained a 35-year-old man on Thursday who admitted to the theft from
[01:09:04] [SPEAKER_10] the St. Lawrence and St. Zivadila Basilica in the northern version of wherever. Who's the saint? The saint is Z-D-I-S-L-A-V-A. Dislava.
[01:09:21] [SPEAKER_07] That's a lot.
[01:09:22] [SPEAKER_10] Yeah. He's going to go to, he faces up to eight years in prison for stealing a skull. St. Dislava lived from 1220 to 1252 and was known for her generosity and work for the poor. She was canonized by Pope John Paul II in 1995.
[01:09:40] [SPEAKER_07] Oh. Why would you do that?
[01:09:42] [SPEAKER_11] Um, he said he was opposed to the Catholic veneration of relics. He came out on Facebook. Who has the time?
[01:09:53] Right, yeah.
[01:09:54] [SPEAKER_10] I mean, yeah. You need to get a hobby. Right. Look, we have the relics. It's part of our bling. Right. It's part of our show. Yeah. I mean, the Catholic Church has a lot of, we have a lot of strikes against us at times. We need, we gotta up the game. You need a good tickle trunk.
[01:10:09] That's good.
[01:10:10] [SPEAKER_10] Turan. I don't even know if you call this a Turan. Okay. A Texas man arrested after intentionally driving his cyber truck into a lake to test Wade mode. Wade mode? Wow. This was at Katie Woods Park boat ramp in Grapevine. That's 25 miles north of the Dallas Fort Worth. I'm gonna have to ask Katie, my friend Katie, is this where your lake is?
[01:10:40] [SPEAKER_10] They arrived at the scene. They discovered a Tesla cyber truck in the water near the shoreline.
[01:10:46] [SPEAKER_03] Did they come with a paddle?
[01:10:47] God.
[01:10:48] [SPEAKER_10] The driver said he intentionally did it to test Wade mode. Wow. Yeah.
[01:10:53] [SPEAKER_11] Yeah. That's so stupid.
[01:10:54] [SPEAKER_10] And then he just said, well, it didn't work. The vehicle became disabled and took on water. The driver and passengers abandoned the vehicle, and the Grapevine Fire Department water rescue team assisted in removing it from the lake. He was charged and arrested and charged with operating a vehicle in a closed section of a park and not having a valid boat registration. Shut up.
[01:11:15] [SPEAKER_11] $25.
[01:11:16] [SPEAKER_10] He also didn't have life jackets in there, I bet you. Get your sticker. Those old school orange ones with the white ties. As well as numerous water safety equipment violations. Yeah, because it's not a boat, motherfucker. No. That's funny. News!
[01:11:30] [SPEAKER_11] I had no idea how long they were.
[01:11:33] [SPEAKER_10] You know, I pulled up to one.
[01:11:35] [SPEAKER_11] They're so big.
[01:11:36] [SPEAKER_10] Sorry, I banged it. Something hurts on my head right now. It's like glasses are on. Here's my glasses.
[01:11:43] [SPEAKER_11] There's a big snarl at the top.
[01:11:45] [SPEAKER_10] My hair's crazy right now. It's okay. I'm going to Lake Bar after this. I don't care. As you should. Right. It's raining again. All things will be better at Sam's. All things are better at Sam's.
[01:11:59] [SPEAKER_11] What were we saying? I forgot. I said I had no idea how long they were.
[01:12:04] [SPEAKER_10] Oh, yeah. I pulled up to one at a barbecue place in Charlotte. Yeah, and I had rented a regular SUV because I had the opener and all of her shit. It's like four feet longer. Like you can't even park in a normal. Than like a navigator?
[01:12:21] [SPEAKER_11] They're longer than that?
[01:12:22] [SPEAKER_10] Yes. Oh. Yes. At least three feet, I'd say. You guys can correct me, Tesla. Cybertruck owners. I just don't know how you would park that. Right. You'd have to live in somewhere where there's like lots of empty parking. Like go to a Target in Nebraska.
[01:12:38] [SPEAKER_11] Oh, my God. They're 223.7 inches.
[01:12:45] [SPEAKER_03] Why would you just not put that in feet?
[01:12:46] [SPEAKER_10] Well, they're also very, very basic inside. I snooped inside that guy's. I wanted to see what the inside looked like.
[01:12:53] [SPEAKER_11] Nothing snazzy. 5,682 millimeters.
[01:12:57] [SPEAKER_10] Okay. I don't even know what that means.
[01:13:00] [SPEAKER_11] 224 inches. It's crazy.
[01:13:02] [SPEAKER_10] News? Uh-oh. What are all my Italian friends going to do? They've done the DNA work and says Christopher Columbus was from Spanish nobility. What? He's a Spaniard.
[01:13:16] Woo!
[01:13:17] [SPEAKER_10] What does that do to the parade? The parade. Ah. The official story is that Columbus was born in Genoa. The seafarer of humble origins who convinced the Catholic monarchs to finance what no one thought was possible. The origin of their story has been questioned for decades by historians, linguists, and more recently, geneticists. Ah. Very hard word to say. Geneticist. Yeah. Well, they've done DNA through relatives that are still around.
[01:13:47] [SPEAKER_11] Wow.
[01:13:47] [SPEAKER_10] Yeah. And who was he? Well, the hypothesis, this is who they think he was. Okay. It's pretty cool. He could be. Pedro Alvarez? Pedro Alvarez de Sotomayor.
[01:14:02] [SPEAKER_07] I like that.
[01:14:03] [SPEAKER_10] Or his son. This is not new news in the hypothesis world. It was first formulated by historian Celso Garcia from Ponte Virdra at the beginning of the 20th century. What made it persist is not so much the conviction of its advocates, but the accumulation of coincidences that nobody's been able to explain. He was one of the most powerful feudal lords of the 15th century. He controlled extensive territory from the castle of Sotomayor to the banks of the river.
[01:14:31] [SPEAKER_10] I don't even know where we're talking about Spain somewhere. He fought in the Castilian Wars, made pax with Portugal, and clashed with the Catholic monarchs. In 1486, he disappeared from historical documents without a trace. That same year, Christopher Columbus appeared for the first time before the court of Isabella and Ferdinand.
[01:14:50] [SPEAKER_06] Wow. Tim. Sorry. Sorry, Italian friends.
[01:14:56] [SPEAKER_07] Yep.
[01:14:59] [SPEAKER_10] Since we're talking about old-timey shit, sometimes I love petty. I'm not a petty person in general, but sometimes I like it when people take shit to the next level where you just go, wow, you're so mad. You're so mad. And if anything the Irish can do, we are very good at holding a grudge.
[01:15:18] [SPEAKER_11] Oh, yeah.
[01:15:18] [SPEAKER_10] And it does not bother me. No. No. When I'm done.
[01:15:22] [SPEAKER_11] Kind of fun, actually.
[01:15:23] [SPEAKER_10] When I'm done, I'm done. There's just whatever the last straw was. That was my last straw. Done, done. Bye. No.
[01:15:29] [SPEAKER_02] Forgiveness makes your heart feel better.
[01:15:32] [SPEAKER_10] Whatever. It doesn't bother me not to.
[01:15:33] [SPEAKER_07] No.
[01:15:34] [SPEAKER_10] Not one bit. No. Just when I think I can be petty, this is great. In Cork, in Ireland, the city of Cork, a counselor has called.
[01:15:46] [SPEAKER_07] Oh, no. Oh, no.
[01:15:49] [SPEAKER_10] For a statue of the mosquito that caused Oliver Cromwell's death. Now, if you don't follow history, or for the children, Oliver Cromwell was an Englishman who raped and pillaged and burned down all the Catholic churches in Ireland. Nobody in Ireland is a fan. But nobody's as mad as Oliver Moran.
[01:16:19] [SPEAKER_10] That's true. He's urged. He wants a statue dedicated. And he wants... Where's it going to be? The mosquito, it's going to be in Cork. Oh, yeah, but like... Yeah, the violence...
[01:16:33] [SPEAKER_11] The town square?
[01:16:34] [SPEAKER_10] Probably, yeah. Fantastic. He was known for the violent siege of Ireland in the 1600s. He died in 1658 after allegedly being bitten by a mosquito in the rebel country. Meaning Ireland somewhere.
[01:16:47] [SPEAKER_11] They should, um...
[01:16:48] [SPEAKER_10] And then the comments are crazy. Cromwell was awesome. I wish he was alive today. I mean, it gets very political over a mosquito statue. I'm like, this is why we can't have nice things. This is why we can't bring ideas to the table. Irish grudges are awesome. I mean, that is... That level of petty... Come on. You can just tell. He's been sitting in a bar somewhere. He's been sitting in an Irish pub for years thinking about this. That's probably why I ran for office.
[01:17:16] [SPEAKER_10] See if you can Google Councilman... I want to see how old he is. Got it. Councilman Oliver Moran. M-O-R-A-N. Cork. How old he is?
[01:17:29] [SPEAKER_11] I just want to... Yeah. He goes by Ollie.
[01:17:31] [SPEAKER_07] How old's Ollie?
[01:17:33] [SPEAKER_06] Let's see.
[01:17:35] [SPEAKER_07] Oh, hang on. Cork City Council.
[01:17:39] [SPEAKER_11] Oh, I've got his address here. Oh, shit. Wow. He's not very old. He lives on St. Anne's Drive in Montanay. I got his phone number, too. Let's call him. How old are you? I want to call him. We're going to call him.
[01:17:55] [SPEAKER_03] He doesn't look very old.
[01:17:57] [SPEAKER_10] I'd say 40s. Okay, so then this must have been his father's talk in all these years. I just love that he's sitting there going...
[01:18:04] [SPEAKER_11] He probably ran on that platform.
[01:18:05] [SPEAKER_10] You know?
[01:18:07] [SPEAKER_02] Let me tell you. The biggest bastard to ever create the most problems in the entire country of Ireland. With Oliver Carmel. Do you know what killed him? I could just see six Irish whiskeys there. We need a statue of the mosquito. No. Just be great fun. Put it in a city circle. Just to remind people. The smallest of the bugs can bring us down to biggest of the men.
[01:18:40] [SPEAKER_11] He's 48. He's great. I thought he'd be 70. Nope.
[01:18:45] [SPEAKER_06] Oh, my God.
[01:18:46] [SPEAKER_11] Nope. He's got a nice little shirt on. Is he cute? Yeah, we're putting him in the chanots.
[01:18:51] Okay.
[01:18:52] [SPEAKER_11] All right. Come on, Ollie. Way to go. That is the best Irish grudge I've ever known about.
[01:18:56] [SPEAKER_10] It's the most petty. Hey, motherfucker. I'm going to build a statue of the shit that killed you, and it just so happens to be a bug, which would be a great statue.
[01:19:06] [SPEAKER_02] Did you see the statue of the mosquito down in the square? What are your tickets for? A ticket for one bit grandma. Why'd you be kidding me? Fantastic. Fantastic.
[01:19:18] [SPEAKER_11] Tell the children to watch The Tudors. That'll explain all of it.
[01:19:22] [SPEAKER_10] You can watch The Tudors, which was great. And it's really the story of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, but Cromwell's in there, St. Thomas Aquinas is in there. It's great. I may rewatch that too. So many things. Moving on to more modern things. This is fantastic, but I would be too terrified. The link in the bio. We'll put it. The link.
[01:19:47] [SPEAKER_10] If you happen to be on Martha's Vineyard this summer, I would not be. It's a lot of rich people, let's just say that. Well, they're going to show Jaws on a floating screen in the same bay where in the movie Jaws, the shark came to attack extra people. So great. To get in. Well, I do not get in any water at nighttime.
[01:20:14] [SPEAKER_10] Even as a kid, I was like, because in the Ozarks, there's snakes. And yeah, I just don't. It's not my thing. Okay. But these people, they show a bunch of people on rafts and inner tubes. You can watch Jaws on a raft or an inner tube in the water this summer.
[01:20:35] Wow.
[01:20:36] [SPEAKER_07] Oh my God.
[01:20:38] [SPEAKER_10] I just don't. I just think that is an awesome idea.
[01:20:41] [SPEAKER_11] I think it sounds awesome.
[01:20:42] [SPEAKER_10] And I think like Xavier and his friends would do it. My nieces and nephews would do it. But I.
[01:20:48] [SPEAKER_11] I couldn't do it.
[01:20:48] [SPEAKER_10] No.
[01:20:49] No.
[01:20:49] [SPEAKER_10] Not at all. Moving on. Oh, here's my white monkey story. In China, some foreigners are hired just for being white, a practice locals call white monkey. They're paid to pose as executives or attend events to make businesses look more global or prestigious, even without real roles or skills. That is right up my alley. I like it. Speaking of mosquitoes. Look. Speaking of mosquitoes.
[01:21:17] [SPEAKER_10] I flunk science every year. Turns out it's something you need to build on. And I didn't because I don't care. Okay. Yeah, I don't have the brain for it. Just know what you're good at. I'm not good at it. Mosquitoes. Mosquitoes. For the first time ever.
[01:21:32] [SPEAKER_11] Did you just say mosquitoes?
[01:21:34] [SPEAKER_10] Yeah. That's how I would have said it as a kid. I tried to correct it over time, but.
[01:21:37] That's okay.
[01:21:38] [SPEAKER_10] There's mosquitoes. It's very real. Yeah. Mosquitoes. Thousands for thousands of years. Thousands. For history. For all eternity. Iceland had one distinction that most people never thought to appreciate. No mosquitoes. Not one. Well, that has just ended. What? Yep. It actually ended in October of 2025 when a local insect enthusiast named Bjorn Haljustan
[01:22:05] [SPEAKER_10] spotted something unusual on a dust farm in just north of Reykjavik. He trapped three of them using ribbon soaked in red wine. Two females, one male. Yeah. Yeah. That's the first. Ah! Okay, so what do we do with that information? Mosquitoes can now survive. It's warm enough. Yeah. That they can survive in Iceland. I. Noble warming.
[01:22:26] I don't know.
[01:22:28] [SPEAKER_10] In better news. Two giant pandas are coming. Where? Where, America? Atlanta Zoo. Yes.
[01:22:37] [SPEAKER_06] Atlanta's getting them?
[01:22:38] [SPEAKER_10] Yep. Cool. I can drive right down there if I want. So exciting. China's sending them.
[01:22:44] [SPEAKER_06] See if they have names.
[01:22:47] [SPEAKER_11] I can't wait for this. I know. Your pronunciation.
[01:22:51] [SPEAKER_07] Well, let's see. Oh. It's Ping Ping and Fushang.
[01:23:00] [SPEAKER_06] Great. I like it. Ping Ping. Ping Ping and Fushang.
[01:23:06] Yep.
[01:23:07] [SPEAKER_10] They're not sure when they're going to arrive. Okay. Since the news is so fresh, but we're going to let you know. It's so fresh. I want to go to the Nashville Zoo. They have baby cloud leopards. It's just got to stop raining for a hot minute.
[01:23:18] [SPEAKER_11] It's been raining a lot.
[01:23:19] [SPEAKER_10] I am the weird lady that will go to the zoo alone. I don't care. I don't care.
[01:23:22] [SPEAKER_11] I think we're actually getting April weather now.
[01:23:24] [SPEAKER_10] It is. It's all of April dumping now, which is very strange. Speaking of giant pandas, the discovery of a completely albino giant panda in China has shocked wildlife experts and animal numbers around the world. The rare panda was spotted in a forest reserve in Sichuan province. Sichuan. Yeah. Yeah. But isn't there? That's on Chinese menu sometimes. Sichuan. Because it comes from that area. Oh. Okay.
[01:23:50] [SPEAKER_07] Oh, there you go.
[01:23:51] [SPEAKER_10] It's like Nashville hot chicken. Yeah. Comes from Nashville. Where does it come from? St. Louis ribs. St. Louis. Crazy. Sichuan. Sichuan.
[01:23:57] [SPEAKER_03] So many things to learn.
[01:23:58] [SPEAKER_10] It's a region famous for being home to the world's giant pandas. What makes the sighting historic is that the panda beard have full albinism, meaning its fur was entirely white with pale pink eyes. Ooh. Yeah, I knew a comedian that was an albino. And I also know, well, I don't know him, but twice I've done shows with Edgar Winters. Yeah. Really? Edgar Winters. Winters. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. That guy. Yep. Um, researchers say albino animals are extremely rare in the wild because their lack of pigmentation
[01:24:28] [SPEAKER_10] can make their survival more difficult. Without normal coloring, they can struggle with camouflage, sun, sunlight sensitivity, and even weaker eyesight. Despite this, this panda appeared healthy and strong in the footage. And they have him on, what? A trail cam. Is that a fax machine? APA? In Los Angeles? Nobody has fax machines anymore. I know, but they made me buy one.
[01:24:49] [SPEAKER_11] Even fax machines are online now. If somebody can fax you.
[01:24:53] [SPEAKER_10] Yeah, but.
[01:24:54] Yeah. Yeah.
[01:24:55] [SPEAKER_11] There's no noise, though.
[01:24:56] [SPEAKER_10] Here's some news that I'm not going to participate in. There will be one man. We'll be so excited. So Jay Leno, um, one of his friends and many times, many jokes, he's written many jokes for Jay, and he used to choose the comedians for the Tonight Show.
[01:25:13] [SPEAKER_07] Mm-hmm.
[01:25:13] [SPEAKER_10] And he's one of the most lovely people on earth. His name is Jimmy Brogan.
[01:25:16] [SPEAKER_07] Cool.
[01:25:17] [SPEAKER_10] Jimmy, uh, he's older now. He's, uh, he went to Notre Dame, I know that. Um, he's very Catholic. Like, he could have been a priest. He's that close. That's why every time he'd be in green rooms, I was always like, are you sure you want to hang out with us, Jimmy? Jimmy, uh, just, he made good money for a long time. Uh-huh. Not a big spender, but he loved, we made so much fun of him because his favorite restaurant on earth was Sizzler. What?
[01:25:46] Yeah.
[01:25:49] [SPEAKER_10] He couldn't, and if you started in, there you go. We'd all start in, and I'm in the green room and go, Jimmy, you make a fine living. Like, you could go to Houston's, you know, you could upgrade. No. No. Well, guess what? Sizzler's making a comeback.
[01:26:02] [SPEAKER_11] Shut up.
[01:26:03] [SPEAKER_10] Nope.
[01:26:03] [SPEAKER_11] That's great.
[01:26:04] [SPEAKER_10] There was a time in America when a big night out for a good steak meant hitting up Sizzler. No, even my, no, but I don't know. My mom and dad would take us, like, to Pizza Hut. Yeah. The ones that are now coming back, which is great.
[01:26:16] [SPEAKER_11] We had a Sizzler.
[01:26:17] [SPEAKER_10] Did you go?
[01:26:18] Yeah.
[01:26:18] [SPEAKER_10] Oh, I never, we never went to buffet anything.
[01:26:21] [SPEAKER_11] Well, we didn't have as many kids as you.
[01:26:24] [SPEAKER_10] Oh.
[01:26:25] [SPEAKER_11] I mean, the salad bar was pretty spectacular. And that all-you-can-serve ice cream when you're nine. Oh.
[01:26:31] [SPEAKER_10] Oh, they had.
[01:26:31] [SPEAKER_11] The soft serve.
[01:26:32] [SPEAKER_10] No, I've never even been in one. I'm not going. Oh. It's the Golden Corral. I'm not going. Jeff Foxworthy, who I adore, can make a million commercials for Golden Corral. I'm not going.
[01:26:41] [SPEAKER_03] I was nine.
[01:26:42] [SPEAKER_10] My mom was a nurse and told me too many gross things about buffets.
[01:26:45] [SPEAKER_03] Oh, I don't need to know any of that.
[01:26:46] [SPEAKER_10] And then when I worked at the Tropicana in Las Vegas in the employee cafeteria, all the employees would tell me why I shouldn't eat at the buffet. And then here's what, so they take the buffet food that gets neglect, that gets made, nobody wants it. They bring it to the employee cafeteria. No. Yes. Gross. Oh, I had all kinds of rules. Don't eat anything with a sauce. I mean, and these girls were dressed in their showgirl outfits, speaking to me seriously in this outfit with giant feathers coming off their head and sequins, and they're like, don't eat any of the sauces.
[01:27:15] [SPEAKER_10] You'll have diarrhea. Oh, God. Oh, yeah. So I'm not a buffet person. Never have been. Wow. My mom and everybody else put us off on that. In 1958, it was founded. 58. Wow. A sizzler. Yeah. Crazy. They once had more than 700 locations. Now, it's down to 74. And Jimmy Brogan is probably solely supporting all 74 of those. He probably is. He's a proprietor. They've had two bankruptcies.
[01:27:43] [SPEAKER_10] The current leadership is focused on, hey, let's take the best of sizzler and make it even better. They're going to try it. The best of sizzler. Well, you're saying it's the ice cream.
[01:27:53] [SPEAKER_11] Maybe it is. I mean, that's been a long time since I did that.
[01:27:56] [SPEAKER_10] Well, I'm not saying you did, but, you know, maybe it's... It was pretty cool, though. Yeah. Um.
[01:28:03] [SPEAKER_11] You'd eat, like, a piece of lettuce, and then you're like, dessert.
[01:28:06] [SPEAKER_10] Speaking of China, because we're on China, you can thank them for this bit of information. Okay. Ah, it's so great. So, what's your hangover cure? Now, I know from bartending, bitters and soda, I know all the things it's supposed to be. Mine is milk. Really? I know, and it makes a lot of people want to throw up in their own mouth. I get it. Mine is one light beer. Yeah, a beer, a beer, hair of the dog that bit you. I'm in for that. No matter what you drink. But let's say I can't have the beer.
[01:28:35] [SPEAKER_10] Let's say I got to function and go to work and I can't have beer. Mine, one glass of cold milk, it just shocks your head. Me and Ron. A McDonald's Diet Coke. That's a good one. Specifically McDonald's. McDonald's Diet Coke. Okay. Well, the actual one that will help your body.
[01:28:53] [SPEAKER_07] Okay.
[01:28:54] [SPEAKER_10] A study of China may have just crowned an unexpected hangover helper. Sprite. What? I don't ever really have Sprite in the house unless the kids are coming. I have Sprite zero. Does that count? I don't know. Probably not. Researchers at Sun Yat Sen University tested 57 beverages from herbal teas to energy drinks to see how they influenced the body's breakdown of alcohol.
[01:29:19] [SPEAKER_10] They focused on two key enzymes, ADH and ALDH, which convert ethanol first into something, a toxic culprit behind hangovers, acetahyde. I don't know. What are the schnouts? It's science. And then into harmless acetate. The results showed that Sprite significantly sped up the ALDH process, helping the body clear the bad stuff faster.
[01:29:45] [SPEAKER_10] In simple terms, Sprite doesn't prevent a hangover, but it may help shorten the suffering by accelerating the detox at the cellular level. You may not even feel it happening. Right. But let's try it, termites. Grab a Sprite. I haven't been hungover in a long, long time. No. No. But, you know, when it happens, that's for the children. Like, I don't really get that hammered anymore.
[01:30:07] [SPEAKER_11] The children don't drink anymore.
[01:30:09] [SPEAKER_10] No. The children microdose and then they drive cars at 7,000 miles an hour and kill people they don't like.
[01:30:14] [SPEAKER_03] They microdose.
[01:30:16] [SPEAKER_10] Not all the children. The kids of, so, I think his name was Damien, the black kid who died, which was super sad because he was just, like, collateral damage in this fucked up relationship of these two kids. He's just in the back seat thinking he's getting a ride home or some shit. But his siblings are very normal teenagers, very well-spoken, very well-behaved, very, they restored my faith in a lot of, because the way the others were talking, I'm like, oh
[01:30:45] [SPEAKER_10] my God. And then I, I don't know, I have all these nieces and nephews from age 12 to 30. And I don't see them. I think these people are anomaly. That's what I'm hoping, they're anomalies. But me and Bob just joke. We're terrified of the children. They'll get you. Okay. Here's one. You couldn't pay me. And I have to fly every week of my life, basically. Thank God I didn't have to fly anywhere last weekend.
[01:31:15] [SPEAKER_10] It's so nice to not. Even my Delta people that were texting me, where are you? It's from the Delta Lounge at Nashville. Are you okay? Are you cheating on us with Southwest? Where you be? Well, because I haven't been, because I did cheat on them with Southwest to go to Kansas City. I had to. I had to. Wow. It's a direct flight. I know. I know. Believe me. There's nothing I would rather do than be in the Delta Lounge versus Southwest. I get it. Listen to people going, why can't I bring my monkey on? Oh my God. Stop it.
[01:31:44] [SPEAKER_10] Stop it. Anyway, here's a new idea the government's come up with regarding TSA. Travelers will be able to check in for their flights and drop off bags at a remote area and go through. This is happening in Boston. Kelly McFarland. You're going to. I'm going to ask Kelly if she boots on the ground, my comedian friend. This is going to launch on June 1st.
[01:32:14] [SPEAKER_10] This is if you're flying out of Boston, Logan.
[01:32:16] [SPEAKER_07] Oh God.
[01:32:17] [SPEAKER_10] Now hold on though. Boston's airport functions pretty good to me for a very big city. You're only 15 minutes from downtown.
[01:32:25] [SPEAKER_11] That is water locked. Yeah. Yeah. They've done a wonderful job. There's a hotel.
[01:32:30] [SPEAKER_10] I think it's a Hilton. You can push all your cart stuff through. It's attached. So there's a hotel that's attached. Renting a car is a pain in the ass in Boston. Giant pain in the ass. It's far. It's far.
[01:32:43] [SPEAKER_06] And it's crowded.
[01:32:44] [SPEAKER_10] But anyway, for the most part, I never think when I'm flying in and out of Boston, oh, their securities could be like Denver's, could be just bad shit. I know. I got to go on the road with Josh Blue and John Novosad because they both have the American Disabilities Act because Josh has cerebral palsy and John's got a crazy eye. And they have a special D-hole and they don't ever wait security, which they should not have to. And I agree with that.
[01:33:13] [SPEAKER_10] But I told Josh, he goes, yeah, sometimes they don't believe my palsy. So I got to like jack it up and I got to like make my arm fly around more. I'm like, who would doubt it? The first day, first time I ever met you, I'm like, that dude's got cerebral palsy. I mean, who's doubting? He goes, oh, I can pass for like not cerebral palsy if I want. But with who? I'm like, for how long, Josh? Right. But anyway. So I don't ever think of Boston's TSA as being a problem.
[01:33:42] [SPEAKER_10] Orlando's is a problem. Denver's is a problem. I can tell you the ones that are problematic. This is to me not. But anyway, they've come up with this idea.
[01:33:49] [SPEAKER_07] Okay.
[01:33:50] [SPEAKER_10] It's called Straight to the Gate. It will allow travelers to check in, drop bags and go through TSA screening at an offsite terminal. This will launch on June 1st. These passengers will be screened in Framingham, Massachusetts. Oh, my God. Before boarding a shuttle that is 25 miles away from the airport. This will be in Connecticut. 25 miles in a van? This is going to take an hour.
[01:34:21] [SPEAKER_10] Once they arrive at Logan, that's the airport, you will be dropped off past the security point. So I saved myself, what, 10 minutes and I've been in a van for an hour? Right. Which I don't trust your shuttle. No. No. I never trust a shuttle. That'll also be in traffic. I trust Marriott's shuttles. I'm going to write a travel book, who you should trust and who not. Hilton's shuttles? Shaky at best.
[01:34:44] [SPEAKER_11] The trustful traveler. Everybody wants it.
[01:34:47] [SPEAKER_10] You put a note to that Uber guy. I'll give you triple. Get over here right now. Shit's going down at the Hilton. This means you can go straight to the gate without joining the TSA line. The pilot will initially be available only for Delta and JetBlue. Why did Delta approve this? The remote terminal will be housed inside a newly built temporary building near the Logan Express bus station. Guess what I don't want to do?
[01:35:16] [SPEAKER_10] Leave my car by the bus station. No.
[01:35:19] [SPEAKER_11] No.
[01:35:21] [SPEAKER_06] Who? Who is Dominoff, sorry, to sign up for this?
[01:35:29] [SPEAKER_11] Well, who's the current Secretary of Transportation?
[01:35:32] [SPEAKER_10] I have no idea.
[01:35:34] [SPEAKER_11] Have they been fired? I don't know.
[01:35:36] [SPEAKER_10] Everyone's fired on Fridays and then we get new people and I don't even care. Sean Duffy. This pilot has been years. Hey. Sean Duffy. Yeah. Sean Duffy. Is he the guy who was the Easter rep? Yes. That guy?
[01:35:46] Yes.
[01:35:46] [SPEAKER_10] Jesus, he's still around?
[01:35:48] [SPEAKER_02] The White House Easter Bunny.
[01:35:50] [SPEAKER_10] Oh my God. He's still around?
[01:35:53] [SPEAKER_02] He came back.
[01:35:55] [SPEAKER_10] Oh my God. Is he over his shame of being a mascot? Trump made him a mascot. I like that, Sean. I'd actually like it, but I don't think Sean liked it.
[01:36:04] [SPEAKER_11] He graduated from St. Mary's College in Minnesota.
[01:36:10] [SPEAKER_10] Oh my God. This is a pilot. This pilot program has been years in the making. Eight locations have been approved for similar, including private luxury terminals for flights out of L.A. and Atlanta. That's crazy. TSA officials have also floated the idea of off-site screening at cruise terminals or major destinations such as Walt Disney World. Okay. I do like this. Last summer, TSA introduced family lanes.
[01:36:40] [SPEAKER_10] Acting deputy administrator Adam Stahl told the Wall Street Journal that off-site screening was expected coming in months. There should be family lanes. Yeah. Because those people, I feel terrible. You see like a mom with three little kids and she's traveling alone with these three kids. And she's got all this fucking kids. Kids require a lot. I know. I have a lot for these cats, but that's voluntary. They don't need them. I just buy it on TikTok when I've been drinking.
[01:37:04] [SPEAKER_11] Can we talk about that? Can we talk about your Instagram post? Well, what happened?
[01:37:10] [SPEAKER_10] I drank a bunch of Pinot Noir while watching some sporting event. I don't know. Okay. And then I saw this thing on TikTok. Oh, my God. I forgot. Two of my biggest stories. I'm going way too long.
[01:37:24] [SPEAKER_07] You're fine.
[01:37:27] [SPEAKER_10] We'll talk about my TikTok purchase next week. This needs to be talked about now because it's sad.
[01:37:32] Okay.
[01:37:32] [SPEAKER_10] But it's historic.
[01:37:34] [SPEAKER_11] We're taking sadness over...
[01:37:36] [SPEAKER_10] Prim Valley. Oh, yeah. So if you ever drove from L.A. or anywhere in California into Las Vegas, the first thing you'd come upon was Prim Valley. And it had Buffalo Bills. It had Whiskey Peets. It had like three or four big casinos. But it had outlet malls, too, that people really liked back in the day. Okay. A Nevada location once thrived with multiple casinos, hotels, and restaurants and plenty of outlet mall shopping.
[01:38:03] [SPEAKER_10] Today, the town of Prim will have at least have its last casino hotel closed on July 4th, putting 344 people out of work. These are the 344 that are left. They've already closed the other casino. The whole thing's going to be a ghost town. I've never seen a modern-day ghost town. And me and my friend Ron Thomas, he still lives in L.A. He's a wonderful person. And he loves gambling and he loves all that. And he's like, he loves the history of it, too. And it's just so sad.
[01:38:31] [SPEAKER_10] In December of 2024, the first of the three casino, the big ones, in Prim Valley Complex goes. A shuttering of Whiskey Peets was followed by Buffalo Bills Resorts, limiting its operation to special events in July 2025. When it shuts down, it will terminate access to the 624 hotel rooms, 46,000 square feet of entertainment, and more than 300 slot machines. And in the interview of this lady, she's like, I can't believe that, like, they're all still going to work and they're crying because they're sad. Their jobs are going to be gone.
[01:39:01] [SPEAKER_10] What if you live out there? That's horrible. See how far. I'd say it's 35 minutes. Prim Valley to Las Vegas. Google that. I'm going to guess half hour, maybe.
[01:39:12] [SPEAKER_11] Prim Valley.
[01:39:12] [SPEAKER_10] Maybe an hour. I haven't done it in a long time, but COVID really took a hit on them. 40 minutes. 40. Okay. I'm all right. It's 44 miles. Yeah. So those people are going to have to. You're going to have to get a job on the strip at one of the new places and then drive all that way. If you lived out there in Prim, you'd probably been very happy.
[01:39:34] [SPEAKER_07] That sucks.
[01:39:35] [SPEAKER_10] It's been a slow decline. The success of Native American casinos in Southern California led to the decline in visitation to the Prim. A lot of people used to just stop here because they were so excited to gamble once they got to the border. I'm that lady. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. We can spend three hours at Whiskey Pete's and get a cheeseburger and gamble, and then we move on to Vegas. Fun. It was so fun. It's very sad, and nobody's really making a big deal out of it, and it's thousands of people out of work. That's horrible.
[01:40:03] [SPEAKER_10] Last thing before I go to a feel-good story. Okay. This is crazy. So the London cab people, this is talking about Waymo, except they call them robo-taxis. Well, robo-taxis are hitting the wall. What it takes to become, and I learned this 100 years ago, me and my cousin Mary went backpacking through, I don't know, we went everywhere. Ireland, England, France. And we did it when we were like 20. We had like a budget. We had like $500 cash.
[01:40:33] [SPEAKER_10] I don't even know how we lived. You lived on chips. So to be a cab driver in London, you have to memorize 25,000 streets.
[01:40:44] What?
[01:40:44] [SPEAKER_10] Yep. Wow. And thousands of landmarks and businesses, and you have to not only memorize them, you have to know the shortest distance between all of them from where you are at. Oh, my God. And I know that's not proper English. It's a 161-year-old test called the knowledge.
[01:41:03] [SPEAKER_07] Oh.
[01:41:04] [SPEAKER_10] Right? Cool. I love it. Yeah. I would like to study it just to see if I could pass. I don't want to drive. I'm not. I can't. I'm not. Let's see if we can get it online. Maybe. Well, we have to get the map first.
[01:41:18] [SPEAKER_06] We won't know shit.
[01:41:21] [SPEAKER_11] This guy has a YouTube video on how the best is. Oh.
[01:41:26] [SPEAKER_10] We're watching this in the late class. This test was introduced in 1865 to London's horse-drawn cabmen. The horse guys had to know it.
[01:41:36] [SPEAKER_06] That's amazing.
[01:41:37] [SPEAKER_10] That's amazing. And there's this cab guy. He looks to be in his 60s, Tom. And he's passed the knowledge, obviously. And he's a black cab driver. And he said, you're never going to beat us. I like it. He's like, it's like comparing a hot dog vendor to Gordon Ramsay. Yeah. He's Gordon Ramsay, in case you're wondering which one he is. Yeah. You come on. They appear to take their test in their Sunday best.
[01:42:06] [SPEAKER_10] And they also have oral exams. Not just what I've already described. Mm-hmm. Candidates are quizzed on how to get between two random points. Mm-hmm.
[01:42:20] Oh.
[01:42:24] [SPEAKER_10] I'm putting this in the schnouts. This memorization has proven to be so challenging, it can change the structure of their brains. A study from University College London. No. It's a study from University College London found that cab drivers' posterior hippocampi, the part of the brain linked to the memory, got bigger throughout their careers. No way. Yeah.
[01:42:47] Wow.
[01:42:48] [SPEAKER_10] We need to put all old people into this test. Yes. And then expand their brains from memory.
[01:42:53] [SPEAKER_11] That's getting crazy.
[01:42:56] [SPEAKER_10] So, you know, are the robo-taxis, am I getting in a robo-taxi or I'm getting in a cab with a man or woman who passed the knowledge? Yeah. I'm getting in with them. We're totally putting this in the schnouts. Oh, and then the Waymo people are fighting it. Of course.
[01:43:16] [SPEAKER_11] Of course they are. You're going to go right into the lock.
[01:43:18] [SPEAKER_10] I am not anti-progress. I'm anti-progress. There's just, there's no reason for it. Right. Why can't we just have a driver of a car? Why do we need driver-less cars?
[01:43:31] [SPEAKER_03] We don't.
[01:43:32] [SPEAKER_10] That's not like saying we're going from a horse to a car and I'm the old lady going, now, now. Right. I'm with the car. I got you. A car to a plane. I got you. Big change. Necessary. Well, it's awesome if we can do it. Driver, no driver? Right. No. I mean, I guess your driver could be a killer. I don't know. Next week we're going to go over which states have banned child marriage. You'd be shocked at the ones that haven't. Okay. Yeah.
[01:44:01] [SPEAKER_10] So in our not staying dumb efforts. Okay. Oh, no. I didn't get into this. I will next week. Go next week. Yeah. It's the Knicks tickets are so expensive. And the U.S. Open tennis. I mean, again, not my thing. Well, we'll be able to see what happens to the next tickets once we find out who they are playing. Well, right. Well, I don't think it'll matter. Yeah. Neither city's a hard hitter.
[01:44:28] [SPEAKER_10] It's not like saying LA or Chicago or, I mean, it's Oklahoma City or San Antonio. They're both smaller secondary markets. And I love San Antonio. Oklahoma City, I haven't spent enough time. Who do you think they will be playing? The Thunder. You do? Yeah.
[01:44:44] [SPEAKER_03] So does Stephen A. Smith.
[01:44:45] [SPEAKER_10] Does he? I haven't seen him in a few days. I haven't seen my boyfriend in a few days. Yeah. But I know he was really mad at Cleveland for not putting enough effort forth. But I agree with Cleveland. I mean, if I'm James Harden, it's game four. We're losing by 40. Right. You still want me to run? Fuck off. I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. Irish grudge. Yeah. But you can't. Yeah. Run. Run. We're going to do a grammar rule and then some Spanish.
[01:45:12] [SPEAKER_11] Okay.
[01:45:16] [SPEAKER_06] Did I do since versus because? Yes.
[01:45:19] [SPEAKER_10] Okay. I need to mark that off then.
[01:45:23] [SPEAKER_11] Which I didn't really understand.
[01:45:25] [SPEAKER_10] One sounded better. Since means time. Right. Okay. Now I know. Because is a reason. Since you didn't do that.
[01:45:33] Yeah.
[01:45:34] [SPEAKER_10] Wrong. It should be because you didn't do that.
[01:45:37] Right.
[01:45:37] [SPEAKER_10] But you're never going to teach the children that at this point. It's way. That horse has left the barn. I don't like you since you didn't. Son. Son. Yeah. Yeah. Everybody sounds like that. This is a good one.
[01:45:51] [SPEAKER_11] Okay.
[01:45:53] [SPEAKER_10] Farther versus further. Okay.
[01:45:57] [SPEAKER_11] Farther I would think is.
[01:45:58] [SPEAKER_10] If I say the fence is farther than the barn, for instance, do you think that's correct?
[01:46:04] [SPEAKER_11] No. You mean am I walking to a fence?
[01:46:08] [SPEAKER_10] No.
[01:46:08] [SPEAKER_06] If I say to you, the fence is farther than the barn, or should it be the fence is further than the barn?
[01:46:20] [SPEAKER_07] Further. Wrong. If I'm walking to the fence.
[01:46:24] [SPEAKER_06] No.
[01:46:24] [SPEAKER_07] No?
[01:46:26] [SPEAKER_06] Farther means physical distance.
[01:46:28] [SPEAKER_11] That's what I mean.
[01:46:30] [SPEAKER_06] But you said further.
[01:46:32] [SPEAKER_10] Right. Further is figurative.
[01:46:35] Oh.
[01:46:37] [SPEAKER_07] Yeah.
[01:46:37] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[01:46:43] [SPEAKER_10] I could have gone further in life.
[01:46:46] [SPEAKER_11] Yeah. You wouldn't have gone farther in life.
[01:46:49] [SPEAKER_10] No. Right. Well, farther is just remember. Farther means can you run to it? Right. Distance. Yeah. Well, there you go. Okay. We're learning. We're learning. I can't say I knew that. It's a dumb example. It's not dumb. Here's how to learn how to speak. Yes, it was. No, it's a good one. Further, farther. Here's what goes on in the South. Further. Further. Further. Further. Further. Further. F-U-U-T-H-E.
[01:47:15] [SPEAKER_03] F-U-T-T-H-E-R.
[01:47:17] [SPEAKER_10] I don't know. That's.
[01:47:18] [SPEAKER_03] That's father.
[01:47:19] [SPEAKER_10] Further down there. Further. Further.
[01:47:21] Further.
[01:47:22] [SPEAKER_10] It's an experience every day. We're going to learn how to speak like a CEO instead of a drunk at Sam's.
[01:47:30] Okay?
[01:47:31] [SPEAKER_10] Ready? This is what they say. Futter. And you know what? Rich me butter. My brother Joe, who basically has been, is whatever. He's been very high up in the CEO lands. He does say these things. He's on the seafloor. I never noticed him. Instead of saying, okay, like I would just go, okay, got it. Say, noted. Yes. Noted. Instead of saying, yeah, that's fine. That works.
[01:48:02] [SPEAKER_10] Oh.
[01:48:02] Wow.
[01:48:03] [SPEAKER_10] Instead of saying, yeah, which is what I would say.
[01:48:06] [SPEAKER_06] Certainly. Wonderful. Instead of saying, yeah, thanks. Appreciate it.
[01:48:12] [SPEAKER_11] Yeah, thanks. Well, I'm saying how I would say.
[01:48:15] [SPEAKER_10] If you said to me, blah, blah, blah, I'd go, got it. Right. You should not say that. You should say, acknowledged. Oh. No? I like it. Sure. Yep. I say that a lot as a blow off. Sure. You're supposed to say, agreed.
[01:48:31] [SPEAKER_06] Okay. Looks good. Yep. Looks good to me. I'm supposed to say, looks appropriate.
[01:48:41] [SPEAKER_10] Hey, Kathleen, do you want to blah, blah, blah? Maybe. That would be my answer. I should say, potentially. Oh. Oh, cliffhanger. Last one. Cliffhanger. Instead of saying, yeah, I think, blah, blah, blah. It should be, I believe. Right. A little more certainty. A little more certainty. A little more certainty. Okay. We're not staying dumb. Next week, I'm going to have a story about the possible serial killer in Puerto Vallarta,
[01:49:09] [SPEAKER_10] which worries me because I have a lot of friends that go down there a lot.
[01:49:12] [SPEAKER_09] Yeah.
[01:49:12] [SPEAKER_10] And we're going to learn how to say, is there a serial killer in the area in Spanish? But right now, that's too difficult for me. So I went to, where is the beach? Donde esta la playa? Okay. We have already learned, this is how we learn comedy week by week, build on what you've learned. Mm-hmm. Tienes alcohol. Do you have alcohol? Donde esta la barra? Where is the bar? Does the bar serve food? El barra sirve comida?
[01:49:38] [SPEAKER_11] I like that you question that at the end. Isn't it very nice?
[01:49:41] [SPEAKER_10] Well, yeah. What time is the kitchen close? ¿Qué hora será la quiche? ¿Ora? What time is check-in? ¿Qué hora es el check? How late is breakfast served? Hasta qué hora se serve el desnue? I'm fucking that one up. Yeah, that last week. Yeah, I know. Yep. I know. My Spanish friends will help me clean that one up.
[01:50:04] [SPEAKER_09] Spanish clean up on aisle three.
[01:50:06] [SPEAKER_10] Yeah, Spanish, totally. All right. My feel-good story was at least the Beagles are getting out.
[01:50:14] [SPEAKER_06] Yeah.
[01:50:15] [SPEAKER_11] They need to get out.
[01:50:17] [SPEAKER_06] Hold on. We need a saint.
[01:50:19] [SPEAKER_10] I got saints. Okay. So that was my feel-good. We count that as my feel-good story. I like it. And the fact that the female Sherpa kicked everybody's ass. It's great. It's so great. Oh, well, this one. I got one. Okay. I like this story a lot because this could be me at any given moment in my life. An 89-year-old grandma walked into an Atlantic City casino with just $100 and left behind one of the craziest gambling stories ever told.
[01:50:48] [SPEAKER_10] Patricia DeMauro rolled the dice on craps for four hours and 18 minutes straight without sevening out. She did not throw a seven. So it doesn't even matter if you understand. I love craps. But if you don't understand it, if you throw the dice and a seven comes up, you're out. You're crapped out. She didn't do it for four hours and 18 minutes. She broke a world record with 154 rolls at a crapshoot. It was at the Borgata where I work. Oh, awesome.
[01:51:15] [SPEAKER_10] She had entire crowds surrounding the tables watching in disbelief. That is just... That's awesome. Great. How old is she? 89.
[01:51:25] [SPEAKER_11] Awesome.
[01:51:25] [SPEAKER_10] I've gambled next to those women at the Borgata. There's a lot of them out there and they're fun. They're fun as shit. Yeah. And the Borgata crowd, because it's Atlantic City, so it's a lot of East Coasters, Philly people, they're hardcore as far as they're gambling and they know what they're fucking talking about.
[01:51:42] [SPEAKER_07] Mm-hmm.
[01:51:42] [SPEAKER_10] It's not some wingnut person like, how do I plan if I'm hanging out? I mean, they know everything. Also, I posted a Cat's Kitchen video on YouTube if you want to see how to make my summer salad that I love. Good. That was good. We're going to do this saint. Then we got quotes.
[01:52:05] [SPEAKER_06] Oh, I have thank yous. Shit.
[01:52:07] [SPEAKER_11] We'll do thank yous next week.
[01:52:08] [SPEAKER_06] Do thank yous next week. Yeah, because I don't have a... This is a feast of St. Bartholomew. Okay.
[01:52:17] [SPEAKER_10] And when I read these things, remember, this is fifth grade on a Monday. Mm-hmm. This is what we had to learn about. He was an apostle who was skinned alive. He's from the 18th century. He's the patron of Armenia, bookbinders, butchers, cheese merchants, plasterers, tanners. He's probably so glad, like, we don't really have that many tanners anymore, right? Can I knock that one off my list of shit I got to do every day?
[01:52:47] [SPEAKER_10] He's invoked against nervous ticks.
[01:52:50] Hmm.
[01:52:51] [SPEAKER_10] So if you have a weird nervous tick, get a hold of St. Bartholomew. Talk to Bart. Bartholomew was one of the 12 original apostles known in John's Gospel for some reason as Nathaniel. See, this is the kind of shit. What? Like, but you were just not allowed, like... To question it. I mean, I had a couple nice notes. Sister Barb was really nice. That if I would have said, hold up, hold up. That's the wrong name. What? That's not even close. Bart to Nathaniel?
[01:53:19] [SPEAKER_06] Like, how the fuck?
[01:53:20] [SPEAKER_10] Why don't we know that? And then they'd go, Kathleen, some things are just left without... You don't question them.
[01:53:29] [SPEAKER_07] No.
[01:53:30] [SPEAKER_10] Okay. Well, I don't think it's a weird question. Right. Why did we go from Bart to Nathaniel? Right. This is... And then this says... This is another example. Why, it's even harder to name the 12 apostles than it is to name the seven dwarves. It is believed that Bartholomew slash Nathaniel... Right. ...traveled as far as India and Turkey before becoming martyred in Armenia, where he was skinned alive by heathens.
[01:53:56] [SPEAKER_10] Thus, he is usually pictured holding a tanner's knife with his own hide draped over his arm.
[01:54:03] [SPEAKER_11] That's horrifying. It's horrifying.
[01:54:06] [SPEAKER_10] The arm had been veterated at England's Canterbury Cathedral since the 11th century. The curved knife accounts for his patronage of medieval cheese merchants who apparently took it for a cheese cutter.
[01:54:20] [SPEAKER_11] Stop it.
[01:54:21] [SPEAKER_10] I mean, come on.
[01:54:23] [SPEAKER_11] Talking about...
[01:54:24] [SPEAKER_06] Crazy.
[01:54:24] [SPEAKER_11] Crazy.
[01:54:26] [SPEAKER_06] We'd eat dinner, and my dad would say, did you guys learn anything?
[01:54:30] [SPEAKER_10] And I'm like, yeah, there's this guy Bart. And then they named him Nathaniel. He made some shoes. And then they skinned him alive, and then he threw his own skin over his arm, and then cheese cutters thought it was a cheese deal, and then he's a tanner. Super confusing. And then my dad would go, well, did you have any history taught? He would just move on. And I'm like, that is bullshit, Jack. You know that what I'm being taught is complete insanity, and I'm only 11, or whatever you are in fifth grade. Well, it actually started way before that, truth be told.
[01:55:00] [SPEAKER_10] Let's have a Prince quote.
[01:55:01] [SPEAKER_07] Okay.
[01:55:03] [SPEAKER_10] Love Prince. I do, too, and his quotes are fantastic. Michael Jackson and I came along at a time when there was nothing. MTV didn't have anyone who was visual. David Bowie, maybe. A lot of people made great records, but they dressed as if they were going to the supermarket.
[01:55:24] [SPEAKER_06] Yeah. Yep. True. He's right. Yep.
[01:55:27] [SPEAKER_10] Right. Taylor, we're going to do a Tay-Tay thing since she's getting married soon. Nobody knows when. No. Well, somebody was saying that if you're a single person, you don't get to bring a plus one. I think we talked about that. It's weird.
[01:55:48] [SPEAKER_11] It's unconfirmed, though.
[01:55:49] [SPEAKER_10] It's unconfirmed. Unconfirmed rumors.
[01:55:51] [SPEAKER_11] Mm-hmm.
[01:55:52] [SPEAKER_10] This is her quote from Elle Magazine 2019. Banish the drama. You only have so much room in your life and so much energy to give to those in it. Be discerning. If someone in your life is hurting you, draining you, or causing you pain in any way that feels unresolvable, blocking their number isn't cruel. It's just a simple setting on your phone that will eliminate drama if you choose to use it.
[01:56:15] [SPEAKER_06] Hmm. I like it. I like it. Very like it.
[01:56:19] [SPEAKER_10] I don't really have that many people I care about blocking. Everybody's pretty nice. But sometimes when I do, I think, oh, no. Then I have to Google, can they see it if I did it? Blah, blah, blah.
[01:56:31] [SPEAKER_06] Right.
[01:56:31] [SPEAKER_10] All right. Termites. I got to go.
[01:56:35] [SPEAKER_07] I have a standing Sam's date with my cat friend, Aubrey.
[01:56:42] [SPEAKER_06] Cat friend. She takes care of the cats when I'm gone. Nice.
[01:56:45] [SPEAKER_10] And then if I'm home for maybe more than two days ever, I like to have a beer. She's young. She tells me what's going on with the young people. And I like to know where they're be bobbing around and what they're doing. That's nice. Yeah. It's fun. Cool. And she likes chicken wings and beer. So good for her. Right up your alley. Yeah.
[01:57:01] Mm-hmm.
[01:57:01] [SPEAKER_10] And I can look like total dog shit and go down there and not care. Everybody looks like dog shit. Pretty much. Okay. In a good, fun way.
[01:57:10] [SPEAKER_02] All right. That's it. Are we ready? My, my, dear wife. Bye. Bye.
[01:57:18] Bye. Bye.
