Well, AJ's Good Time Lager from RS Lippman Brewing Company in Nashville, followed by what?

[00:00:58] [SPEAKER_04] Salty Golfer Pineapple Blonde. You would not think a pineapple beer would be good? Refreshing in the summer. Very nice. It's not... Six of them, one. One, and that's from South Carolina termites Sarah and David who came to the Knoxville show, which we'll be talking about. Fun. We're gonna try a few treats here.

[00:01:16] Salt.

[00:01:16] [SPEAKER_04] Limited edition chili, uh, cheese dog Cheez-Its. What? Cheese dog. Oh, cheese... Chili cheese dog Cheez-Its. Wow, USA! USA! USA! It's the official snack of US soccer! God, I've loved every minute of it.

[00:01:34] [SPEAKER_03] That game last...

[00:01:35] [SPEAKER_04] Games are getting good. The Germany game was insane. And the goalie for Paraguay looks exactly like Daniel Tosh.

[00:01:44] [SPEAKER_06] Yeah, he does!

[00:01:45] [SPEAKER_04] If he had blonde hair, he has darker hair, but I'm like, holy shit. And Daniel's that tall too. Oh, wow.

[00:01:54] [SPEAKER_05] Surprisingly.

[00:01:55] [SPEAKER_04] These are really good.

[00:01:56] [SPEAKER_05] Mm-hmm.

[00:01:56] [SPEAKER_04] Go get them before USA!

[00:01:58] [SPEAKER_05] They're tiny. They're like mini bites.

[00:02:01] [SPEAKER_04] No, they're regular-sized Cheez-Its. Yes, they are. I know my Cheez-Its.

[00:02:08] [SPEAKER_05] I know you do.

[00:02:09] [SPEAKER_04] Wait, I tasted these last week. Oh, no.

[00:02:11] [SPEAKER_05] No, you do have the beer-brought ones.

[00:02:13] [SPEAKER_04] Oh.

[00:02:14] [SPEAKER_05] Hello.

[00:02:15] [SPEAKER_04] Thank you for the Cheez-Its. Savannah, uh, termites Jack and Lindy. I love Savannah. I need to go back there. The crowds are kind of wild though.

[00:02:24] [SPEAKER_05] Tame them.

[00:02:25] [SPEAKER_04] Well, it's the only place where Ron was on stage and the crowd started fighting each other. What? Yeah, some guy. I don't know. And Ron goes, I've never been able to stand on stage and watch a fight. Usually I'm involved. And he goes, I stayed out of it for once in my life. I think I'm maturing, Maddie. I said, I think you are too. It's very good that you at age 60, whatever he was, didn't jump off the stage to get involved. Try to get in.

[00:02:53] [SPEAKER_04] These are Miller Lite beef-braised steak Pringles from Green Bay, Wisconsin, termites. Oh, and two of the children, Meg and Tristan. And then, I realized if I call anybody under age 30, Chris or Taylor, I'm right. Chris? Because it's both.

[00:03:13] [SPEAKER_05] Oh.

[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_04] Chris and Taylor. Or Morgan. Could be a girl or a guy.

[00:03:17] [SPEAKER_05] Yeah.

[00:03:18] [SPEAKER_04] I'm right about 55% of the time.

[00:03:20] [SPEAKER_06] Somebody will answer. Yeah.

[00:03:22] [SPEAKER_04] At the golf course, all those young girls, I'm like, hi, Taylor. I got a 50-50 shot, I'm right. That's happy.

[00:03:28] [SPEAKER_05] And then they just think I'm a crazy old lady.

[00:03:30] [SPEAKER_04] And they don't care.

[00:03:32] [SPEAKER_05] Hmm. She calls everyone Taylor, but she takes well.

[00:03:34] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah, except Jocelyn. I know Jocelyn's not a Taylor.

[00:03:37] [SPEAKER_06] It really is.

[00:03:37] [SPEAKER_04] These are really good. Look at the Miller Lite. Is this another USA? USA! It's got stars on it. Limited edition.

[00:03:44] [SPEAKER_05] It's for 4th of July.

[00:03:45] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, 4th of July. The World Cup is overshattering the 4th of July in my book. So is Wimbledon. It's just getting started. Serena's gonna be on center court today.

[00:03:57] [SPEAKER_05] Awesome.

[00:03:57] [SPEAKER_04] I know you don't care for tennis.

[00:04:00] No.

[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_05] I prefer pickleball.

[00:04:03] [SPEAKER_04] Well, to play it, I prefer pickleball.

[00:04:06] [SPEAKER_05] I'd love to see you play tennis. Tennis?

[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, I don't even know how. I remember my parents one time in the 70s when John Macaron, Jimmy Conner, and Martina and Chrissy was a big thing. That was the thing. The whole country cared. Yep. And then it got away from us and it just became all smoking hot Russian people nobody really attached to here for a while. But they went to like whatever back in the day, Kmart, and bought tennis rackets and balls and went over to the public tennis courts

[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_04] and I think all of us thought we'd just be able to do it.

[00:04:39] [SPEAKER_05] Just to play tennis.

[00:04:40] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah, just like on TV. Yeah. Like I'm just gonna smoke you like Martina. Wow. It was so awful. I mean, we, I wish there would have been a movie. Like, and that lasted maybe three times and then tennis was over officially over in the Madigan household. Um, cause everybody sucked and then you'd have to go get lessons. It's too late. We're too old. Well, they were. Um, we also have 4th of July, um, firecracker pop Oreos from Fort Worth. Another city I love.

[00:05:06] [SPEAKER_05] They didn't melt either.

[00:05:08] [SPEAKER_04] Germites, Jared and Kyle. No. And look, they have very USA. The cream is red, white, and blue in the middle of the cooking.

[00:05:15] [SPEAKER_05] It's those firecracker pops on the ice cream truck.

[00:05:19] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, like I call that a bomb pop.

[00:05:22] [SPEAKER_05] Bomb pop.

[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_04] Bomb pop. Bomb pop.

[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_05] Bomb pop.

[00:05:27] [SPEAKER_04] B-O-M-B.

[00:05:28] [SPEAKER_05] I got it.

[00:05:29] [SPEAKER_04] That was red, white, and blue. Why bomb? I don't know. I didn't ask the ice cream man. What is the history of the name? No, I never got the bomb pops. Those are pretty good, but.

[00:05:40] [SPEAKER_05] I can smell it from here. There's a lot going on.

[00:05:43] [SPEAKER_04] It's a lot. Yeah, more for the children, I think. That's what I think of that. Upcoming shows. July 18th. Selbyville. July 25th. Niagara Falls. August 8th. Portland, Maine. 21 and 22 August. Atlantic City. Yeah. September 11th. San Antonio. And my friend Aaron's gonna go, and I don't know if he's ever been. He's the other comedian. I don't know if he's ever been on, in the Alamo. Oh, probably. He's a history freak. I can't wait to go with him. It's gonna be great.

[00:06:13] [SPEAKER_04] It's gonna be so great. I did not take enough in the Phil Collins thing with all of his memorabilia. It was too overwhelming. Mm-hmm. Austin. September 12th. September 18th. Terry Tom. 19th. Hershey PA. 25th. Madison, Wisconsin. I love anything in Wisconsin. September 26th. Prior Lake, Minnesota. That casino is so fun. And October 10th. Nashville. The Ryman.

[00:06:35] What? What?

[00:06:36] [SPEAKER_04] Come on. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Fun times. You hear that Nashville termites, go buy some tickets. October 10th. Make a plan. Or drive in. If you're from somewhere where you can drive to Nashville. The weather will be delightful. It will be delightful. And downtown drinking and rooftop bars will be delightful. Speaking of downtown drinking, before we get on the phone with Holly Bobby. So I went downtown. My friends, my friend and her husband who I had met came into town for the Alan Jackson.

[00:07:06] [SPEAKER_04] My friend Kitty. Her husband. They came in to see Alan Jackson on Saturday night. So. The final show. The final show. Oh, and it was so sad. But a great, great, great, great show. And I kept watching the weather. They delayed it for like four, five. But anyway, first we went Thursday night. I met him at Alan Jackson's bar. Now, if you're ever in Nashville, the kids want to go to the Morgan Wallens and the, what's her face? The bell bottom Lainey. Lainey Wilson. Lainey Wilson's.

[00:07:35] [SPEAKER_04] But the older people, they want the old people bars. Alan Jackson has a seat. It's not a secret, but I'd never even knew it was up there. A rooftop bar with lots of shade. That's an old person thing. I know it. It totally is. But it's going to be, it's an old person thing till that 24 year old has had eight beers and has been in a hundred degree heat with no shade and you're puking up blackberry seltzers. You're going to wish you'd listen to the old people.

[00:07:59] [SPEAKER_05] Is that your other beer?

[00:08:01] [SPEAKER_04] What?

[00:08:02] [SPEAKER_05] AJ's good time lager.

[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah, I already said that one. I know. The beers at Alan Jackson's, there's fans up there. Just another thing I'm into. It's just like, nobody knows it's there. So it wasn't even crowded. It was great. Perfect. Yeah. And then, uh, I was so scared that it was going to get rained out for all those people. Cause I'm like, what are you going to do with 20,000 people? Cause there was lightning coming, all kinds of crazy shit.

[00:08:30] [SPEAKER_04] They had to spend 45 minutes in the concourse, but then boom, uh, baby Jesus parted the skies and they got the concert in George straight came off the ranch. I'm going to tell you all about that. Um, and this is so crazy now going down the street. My one friend and her husband love Alan Jackson. They could not make it in town. So there was a merch pop up thing. Uh huh. And it was pretty, uh, crowded.

[00:09:00] [SPEAKER_04] I mean, it probably took me 15 minutes to get to the front of the line to get, um, and God love the kids that are working there, but I don't know who's in charge. Well, it doesn't matter. Alan's retiring, but those merch people put a number on the goddamn shirt. Right. I want a number eight in a medium. That's how we make this move. They didn't do that. And people are like, I want the Alan Jackson one where he's holding the, on the course with the, oh my God. Large. Fuck.

[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_04] Can I, can I see every size? I have a lot of friends. I have a lot of friends. And then the poor kids are having to root through all these boxes. It wasn't very well organized. However, I did tell my friend Katie, I said, Hey, grab shirts on the way out. You guys, if you want, you should, cause at the thing, the thing, my jig, it could be insane. The merch line. Well, then I saw, I was in Knoxville. I looked at my phone, Instagram video, the Alan Jackson merch line to the pop up thing.

[00:09:56] [SPEAKER_04] I went to went around the Bridgestone and I thought, oh my God, do people have any idea how long you're going to be in line forever? Yeah. Oh my God. Maybe wait till the show at that point. Cause Katie said, yeah, I saw it. I was so mad for not going the day before I said, well, who knew?

[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_06] Right.

[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_04] I mean, but also clearly they didn't know the Alan Jackson people didn't know very, very unprepared. It's frustrating. Elton John's was the same way at the Bridgestone. Come on, you're Elton John. Get it together, man. Like I didn't even buy a shirt. I just gave up. I gave up.

[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_05] It's nice though that they did it outside. Like, so that you don't have to like the Tay Tay did.

[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. Put it pre, put it up. I was there on Thursday and bought them. So they had already set up Thursday. The show's not till Saturday. Great. Right. But it just didn't.

[00:10:48] [SPEAKER_05] Um, is that why you're wearing your Rod Stewart long sleep?

[00:10:50] [SPEAKER_04] Well, Rod Stewart had to have, uh, oxygen brought out to him. Lionel Richie sat down and was dizzy and tried to stand up and fell over. I'm just saying, Hey, 80 year olds, you know, what are you all doing? Right. I wish them all. Well, I love Rod Stewart. I love Lionel Richie. I love earth, wind and fire, but maybe a full physical before we put you on the road. Can we put some parameters around this? Make sure you're okay. Okay. For real. Okay. Right.

[00:11:20] [SPEAKER_04] Or yes. Plus I really liked this shirt because it's very seventies and simple. Yeah. You don't see simple shirts anymore for a concert and it's long sleeve, which it's so hot out right now. But I have the air on because baby cat demanded that. And whoever said, by the way, I put a video of steady up. He's getting a lot better.

[00:11:41] [SPEAKER_05] It looks really good.

[00:11:41] [SPEAKER_04] And he, well, no, not really.

[00:11:44] [SPEAKER_05] Except for that tough.

[00:11:44] [SPEAKER_04] No, a friend of mine's daughter came over and she was like, Whoa, that's alive. I'm like, yeah, he's alive. But was saying, Oh, he's outside when it's so hot and you're inside the air conditioning. You know what? Just fuck off. Okay. Sadie's always allowed in the house. And occasionally he takes a walk through. He's very curious. I've seen him walk. One time he spent the night without my knowledge. I mean, but he usually wants back out extremely quickly and he will go completely crazy. Yeah. So he's always allowed in.

[00:12:14] [SPEAKER_04] Nobody's out there sweating their asses off unless they, unless they choose it. Those are chilling mats. They have heated homes. Jesus. It's a four season. There's another new one showing up. This is a little Greg. Yeah. He's a little tabby, a little tabby. I think it's a girl. She's pretty tiny. And, but boy, the night guards, they are guarding the perimeter. They don't like it. No, no, they've allowed Sadie in. Cause I think he's a senior and he's disabled. Yeah. They've, they went, you're fine. You can come.

[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_04] But this new one's got some spunk. And I don't think it's someone's pet. All right. That's enough of my cat talk. It's insane. It's getting, it's getting weird here. I know, but I do have a funny new thing for the show about shit. People text their pet, their pet sitters. When I write out the list of things about these cats for if somebody new is going to do it. And it's not my friend, Aubrey. I realize it sounds insane, but it's true.

[00:13:10] [SPEAKER_04] Chopo will jump on your lap and he loves attention, but only if you use the gray blanket. He won't come if it's the blue blanket. No. And he'll just yell at you until you go get it.

[00:13:22] [SPEAKER_05] You know what?

[00:13:23] [SPEAKER_04] He sounds like an old smoker.

[00:13:24] [SPEAKER_05] He's no longer feral then. No longer feral.

[00:13:27] [SPEAKER_04] He's semi-feral. He chooses outside a hundred percent more than he, he only comes inside when he's absolutely had it with the weather. And then he lays under a chair, takes a two hour nap and he wants right back out. He goes insane if I close that particular door. Anyway, moving on. Knoxville was so fun. Karen Mills. Um, if you were there, she's the opener sometimes opens for Leanne, but she's also a comedian.

[00:13:54] [SPEAKER_04] In, in and of her own right, she will be doing the Bijou theater that I just did Friday and Saturday. She'll be doing it August 30th. If you want to go see Karen. Oh, fun. Yeah. I don't know who she will have opening, but, um, both shows are sold out. I was in a Marriott with 20 million girls between the ages of like, well, probably nine and 13. And it's an elite basketball. Oh no.

[00:14:24] [SPEAKER_04] And I'm like, I just, I was in the elevator. It's summer. I was in the elevator with my coffee and some of the 12 year olds are taller than me and they have Uggs, their Ugg slippers on and Starbucks. And I'm like, I refuse to believe everyone in this elevator is elite. I don't, I think maybe, maybe one of you. And then I saw one and well out of the elevator, there's only seven of us. Right. Then I saw Jalen Rose, the NBA player, very handsome man, very friendly in the elevator to, and he's with the girls.

[00:14:52] [SPEAKER_04] He must have his own kids playing or whatever. And I thought, this is so great. It's summer. What? I, yeah.

[00:15:02] [SPEAKER_05] Yeah.

[00:15:03] [SPEAKER_04] I went, me and Karen went to go eat and the guy's like, yeah, you won't get food for like an hour and a, uh, uh, five hour and 50 minutes. What? Yep. Cause the children were on a break.

[00:15:14] [SPEAKER_05] Gotta eat around the children. Yeah. I know how tall they are.

[00:15:18] [SPEAKER_04] Um, there was a super cool, uh, river bar there called Calhoun's.

[00:15:23] [SPEAKER_05] Uh huh.

[00:15:23] [SPEAKER_04] They have this beer called H E L L A A S I think.

[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_05] Hellas.

[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_04] Hellas. So good. Watched a storm roll in my favorite thing to do on the planet. Fun. Um, it was hot, but not as hot as it is now. Now it's a hundred. Now the news is freaking out. Yeah. Um, so all in all wonderful time. Uh, Knoxville five stars, just fun, fun, fun, fun, fun. Got to drive, got to drive home and watch a storm. Um, roll in. Well then I was just like, Oh, the concert. Oh, the concert. Like, what are you going to do?

[00:15:58] [SPEAKER_04] It's Alan's last deal. And then he's saying, remember when, but it's a beautiful song, but it's going to make you cry a lot. Yep. Um, we're going to get the world cup, but we're going to do a few things before I call Holly. I just found occasionally I find, I don't know stuff that this is on Instagram. There's an account called the muff report. Okay. Okay. Well, all one word, the muff report. All right. And they posted it.

[00:16:27] [SPEAKER_04] So I'm going to do like one a week cause they make me laugh. This is people woke up and what they did drunk. Oh, where they didn't realize they did it.

[00:16:36] [SPEAKER_05] Oh, fantastic. Yeah.

[00:16:38] [SPEAKER_04] This, this one said, uh, I woke up to see my search history is just, can monkeys get sad? Type seven different ways.

[00:16:49] [SPEAKER_05] Oh my God.

[00:16:50] [SPEAKER_04] It's probably my friend Kathy. It's probably Kathy.

[00:16:54] [SPEAKER_05] That's great. Can monkeys get sad? Oh shit.

[00:16:58] [SPEAKER_04] There's a million of them. It's a funny little site. If you want to, um, we're going to do some queen news and then we're going to call Holly Bobby. Dolly Parton showed up at the travel stop. She's good enough to make it. She said she wasn't coming. Everybody said it's a no go and she showed up and she looked great. And now I may do it cause it's so hot. It's an, I Googled it. It's an hour and 11 minutes from here. I think it's going to kick Bucky's ass.

[00:17:26] [SPEAKER_05] I also think we should wait till after the fourth.

[00:17:29] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. After the fourth, I'm not getting involved. Um, she has a sit down restaurant with mashed potatoes and cornbread. It's like a live music. It's a destination. Fun. And then the gas station and all that's all intact showers, everything you could think of for truckers. Truckers are very welcome. Like Bucky says no to the truckers and Bucky. I am a fan of Bucky's cause of the bathrooms and the gas. There's a thousand million gas pumps and I like their diet Cokes, but did you go on the

[00:17:54] [SPEAKER_05] way home from Knoxville?

[00:17:55] [SPEAKER_04] Yes. I went to Bucky's. Yes. And nobody was there. Well, it was Saturday, like at midnight. Yeah. So it's like the bewitching hour and usually it's a very weird crowd, but there was no crowd.

[00:18:07] [SPEAKER_05] What does your mom like from there?

[00:18:08] [SPEAKER_04] She likes the Bucky nuggets. My mom like loves and yes, I secured many bags of Bucky nuggets and I may have bought two swimming suits for little children that I know babies and friends of mine and they need it. Well, America two 50. They need their Bucky swimming suit. It says it's got Bucky. It says America to fit. It says America, but it should say America would be should say America. Yes.

[00:18:33] [SPEAKER_04] I love their clothing and stuff, but Dolly's place looks like I want to go there just to eat the food. Dude, it's like meat and threes and then cornbread mashed potatoes corn on a cob. Awesome. It's it's live music. I can't wait, but I was so happy. She showed up. She did the river ribbon cutting and everything. So because when they said she's not coming, you know, she goes to everything she can. So she wasn't going. I was like, oh, she looks good. She looked fine.

[00:19:03] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah, absolutely fine. Um, so, so much queen news, Stevie. So, so do we believe this wedding is this weekend with Tay Tay? I don't. I think it's a party at Madison Square Garden. I think the weddings already occurred.

[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_05] Yeah, I think they're already married.

[00:19:19] [SPEAKER_04] I don't think Mama Kelsey and uh, Tay Tay's mama would be Andrea, whatever will be by the way, your little Taylor Swift. They put up all these thank yous on the screen at the Alan Jackson concert. I know she got booed. She got booed.

[00:19:35] [SPEAKER_05] I thought I think that's mean though. That's mean.

[00:19:37] [SPEAKER_04] I don't, I'm not as Swifty per se, but why, why are you booing her? Right. She's just saying something nice about Alan Jack because they think she's not country, I think is the, or people are just overloaded with Tay Tay.

[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_05] She's a billionaire and she does very nice things. She does. Exactly. Be nice.

[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_04] Her and Johnny Morris. You're going to boo Johnny Morris? Eight and a half billion dollars. Just give away 55,000 free fishing poles. Shut up. How many free fishing poles have you given away? Now you got to string them. Boo. Yeah. Yeah. Go on YouTube. If you want to learn how to string that reel, Stevie Nicks and Tim McGraw are set to perform at this thing that there've been permits. Madison square is blocked off. Yep.

You can park below and nobody knows the entrance and that, that, that, that, that, that. Um, here's, now here's the thing. This is how old I am.

[00:23:31] [SPEAKER_04] That's what people say. I look like her aunt. This is so stupid. Yeah. Well, it's going to be a big shindig. I can't wait to hear all about it. All I care about is Stevie. What are Stevie and Tim McGraw going to sing together?

[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_05] Probably something delightful.

[00:23:48] [SPEAKER_04] I hope it's don't not stop dragging my heart around. It's not one of my favorites. No, I'm trying to think of the girl guy one leather and lace girl guy songs. No, they're probably going to sing something that has nothing to do with Stevie. That's why it'll be super awesome. Oh, wow. It's given Stevie something to do. Speaking of Stevie, who's off all summer. And I need that eight 78 year old on the road. I know. City of Irvine announces Daisy chain fields festival.

[00:24:15] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, it's more queen news featuring Olivia Rodrigo. Right. I couldn't tell you one thing she sings, but I know she's popular. Here's who's on her show. It's called Daisy chain fields and it supports all kinds of like it. The whole thing is to raise money for all kinds of be home foundations. Here's who's performing.

[00:24:39] [SPEAKER_05] Okay.

[00:24:40] [SPEAKER_04] Bikini kill.

Sarah McLaughlin is TV next. Those are the two I know. So I just got to go with the end because they won't come out till the I'm not going, but I wish I could. All right. That's enough queen news before we get to updates. Let's call Holly Bobby and see what's going on in Hollywood.

[00:25:16] [SPEAKER_04] I know Bob will know if it's all fake. Is this wedding a decoy? I don't know. I doubt you'd get all those permits and rent all that shit out.

[00:25:25] [SPEAKER_05] Ask him about the guest list.

[00:25:27] [SPEAKER_04] Well, we just did the guest list.

[00:25:28] [SPEAKER_05] I know, but we butchered it.

[00:25:31] [SPEAKER_04] Well, true.

[00:25:32] [SPEAKER_05] He'll hear this.

[00:25:33] [SPEAKER_04] I should have went over that with him. You're right.

[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_05] He'll be really upset.

[00:25:39] [SPEAKER_04] I know he can't believe. He has breaking news though.

[00:25:42] [SPEAKER_05] How do you not know Suki Waterhouse?

[00:25:44] [SPEAKER_04] Suki Waterhouse.

[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_00] Bienvenidos mujeres. Hi Bobby. I'm not staying dumb. I'm doing my Spanish.

[00:25:58] [SPEAKER_04] Bonjour senor.

[00:26:01] You mixed it up.

[00:26:02] [SPEAKER_00] You're creative.

[00:26:03] [SPEAKER_04] I know. I'm going French on you. I busted out. Who, who is Suki Waterhouse?

[00:26:09] [SPEAKER_00] Oh, she's super cool. She's a singer and actress. She is dating or in a relationship with Robert Pattinson. Oh, who's that?

[00:26:20] [SPEAKER_05] Who's that? Vampires.

[00:26:21] [SPEAKER_00] Oh my God. Kathleen, you're going to embarrass yourself with the termites. He's the star of the Twilight franchise and the Batman.

[00:26:28] [SPEAKER_04] And, and Batman.

[00:26:30] [SPEAKER_00] Yeah. The reboot of Batman. Huge movies.

[00:26:34] [SPEAKER_04] How many of those can you do? You know, I was on the tonight show once with a guy who played Superman, Dean somebody, but there were like a hundred Superman. I'm like, you're no big deal. You're no big deal.

[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_00] And you know what? You weren't on with Dean Cain. You were on with Brandon and Ralph because you and I have a picture with him. He's the Superman that bombed.

[00:26:55] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, oh, he's the Superman that bombed. Yes.

[00:27:01] [SPEAKER_05] We can say that now. I'll send you that picture of us.

[00:27:04] [SPEAKER_04] Okay. I took a picture with this person? Yes.

[00:27:08] [SPEAKER_06] I have it in my phone. I'll send it to you.

[00:27:10] [SPEAKER_04] Well, you know, I thought one time I did the tonight show. I thought it was Selena Gomez and I really don't even know who she is. And it turns out the whole thing I watched was Demi Lovato.

[00:27:26] [SPEAKER_01] I was like, bye, Selena.

[00:27:30] [SPEAKER_06] Wow. That's not good. No, it was never good. I don't know. Never good.

[00:27:34] [SPEAKER_04] I don't know the musical guests that are under the age of 40, Bobby. You know that. You don't either. You have to learn about it.

[00:27:41] [SPEAKER_00] I have to learn about it, but I listen to my nieces and my nephews and that's how I book my shows. Oh, by the way, I don't have much time to chat because I'm, I have to drive to LA. I have a meeting at 1130 this morning in LA and it's a little after 9am. I don't know if I'll be on time, but it's my first meeting at my new job.

[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, breaking news.

[00:28:02] [SPEAKER_00] Bobby news. I am joining the Emmy award winning the Jennifer Hudson show. Oh, yeah. And I'm going to be late for my first meeting.

[00:28:12] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, okay. Do you want to go and you can tell us next week?

[00:28:16] [SPEAKER_00] No, no, no, no. Cause we have to talk about Tay Tay before she gets married, but also too, I want to talk to give a shout out. I want to test your knowledge, your show business knowledge.

[00:28:25] [SPEAKER_02] Oh boy.

[00:28:26] [SPEAKER_00] Jennifer Hudson is one of only 28 people ever in the world to win an EGOT. Do you know what that is?

[00:28:36] [SPEAKER_04] No, it sounds like a bird. Sounds like goat mixed up.

[00:28:39] [SPEAKER_05] Sounds like a bird. It kind of is. Paddles, do you know what it is? I think it's a bird. It sounds like a bird. She says it's a bird. Yeah.

[00:28:47] [SPEAKER_00] No, no. It's a person that has won an Emmy, a Grammy and Oscar and a Tony. So I'm going to go work for an EGOT winner. Oh, EGOT.

[00:29:00] [SPEAKER_04] Who are some other people? Let me guess. Audrey Hepburn.

[00:29:03] [SPEAKER_00] Wait, let me guess.

[00:29:05] [SPEAKER_04] Wait, let me, let me guess. Would, would Barbara Streisand be on that list?

[00:29:08] [SPEAKER_06] Yes, she is.

[00:29:10] [SPEAKER_04] Okay. Let me guess again. Let me think of the people that share.

[00:29:16] [SPEAKER_00] Share is not on that list.

[00:29:18] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, what didn't she win? A Tony?

[00:29:20] [SPEAKER_00] She did not win a Tony. Yeah. Well, she could, she could go back to Broadway. I mean, she, she reinvented herself on Broadway before she started doing the movies. She did come back to the five and dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean on Broadway. She got great reviews and that's how she.

[00:29:35] [SPEAKER_04] You might as well have just spoken Chinese. I don't even, what is come back to the five and dime? What is that?

[00:29:41] [SPEAKER_06] Jimmy Dean.

[00:29:42] [SPEAKER_04] Jimmy Dean is sausage.

[00:29:44] [SPEAKER_06] It's really good.

[00:29:46] [SPEAKER_04] Um, wait, tell me some more people who have accomplished that. Cause that's crazy.

[00:29:51] [SPEAKER_00] Okay. He's a famous director that has, has, he directed one of your favorite movies 50 years ago.

[00:29:59] [SPEAKER_04] Steven Spielberg. Jaws.

[00:30:00] [SPEAKER_00] That's correct.

[00:30:02] [SPEAKER_04] Wait, how did he win a Tony?

[00:30:05] [SPEAKER_00] I think he produced a Tony. Oh, wow. That doesn't count. Yeah. Okay. So, I mean, I'm not going to take it away from him.

[00:30:14] [SPEAKER_04] Steven Spielberg does not sing. He does not dance. He should not have a Grammy. He should not have a Tony. That's bullshit.

[00:30:19] [SPEAKER_05] I would love to see him.

[00:30:20] [SPEAKER_04] And he's not even an actor. Go ahead. All right. Anybody, who else liked that's cool?

[00:30:25] [SPEAKER_00] Well, she, she used to be cool. How about Liza?

[00:30:29] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, I love Liza. I love Liza. She's still dancing in a wheelchair having gay guys push her all around. I love it. I love it.

[00:30:38] [SPEAKER_00] Speaking of gay guys, he got gay guy winner is Sir Elton John.

[00:30:43] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, okay. So many things. I'm not really sure he could dance, but he could sing and I'm, can he act? How'd he get an, oh, he does it through the music end of the Academy Awards.

[00:30:56] [SPEAKER_00] He does that music. Yeah. He won music like Lion King. All right.

[00:30:59] [SPEAKER_04] Well, that counts. That counts. Okay.

[00:31:01] [SPEAKER_00] You know, who's not an EGOT winner?

[00:31:04] [SPEAKER_04] No.

[00:31:04] [SPEAKER_00] Our, our queen Tay Tay, but she's got time. She's got plenty of time. She's got plenty of time. Yep.

[00:31:10] [SPEAKER_04] My queen Stevie's not. And if Cher's not this whole court's gone to shit.

[00:31:15] [SPEAKER_00] Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Before I go though, seriously, we have to talk about the wedding because Stevie's going to be there. I did some research. Like I heard that James Taylor is going to perform too. And so is NSYNC. But I just looked up on Lance Bass's Instagram because he's a member of NSYNC.

[00:31:32] [SPEAKER_05] Right.

[00:31:32] [SPEAKER_00] He's hosting a party at the Coliseum in Los Angeles for the 4th of July. Oh. So he's got to get his ass back to LA if they're really performing on July 3rd.

[00:31:41] [SPEAKER_04] Right. Well, what if they performed without him?

[00:31:44] [SPEAKER_00] Well, then it wouldn't be NSYNC. It wouldn't be NSYNC. They need all five members. Come on. You can't not show up at Tay Tay's wedding and disappoint her.

[00:31:51] [SPEAKER_04] You know what? I did his podcast and he was such a nice man, but I literally had no idea who he was. I mean, I looked it up before I went, but I was like, okay, he was in a boy band and you know, what, whatevs. That's cool. I hope you saved your money.

[00:32:06] [SPEAKER_00] Wow. Anyway.

[00:32:07] [SPEAKER_04] Go ahead.

[00:32:07] [SPEAKER_00] I think they didn't save his money. Remember, like I watched that Netflix documentary about his old manager who formed these boy bands. They stole all the kids money.

[00:32:17] [SPEAKER_04] Well, he had a nice house in Los Angeles. I went to it. I mean, I thought it was, it wasn't like extravagant. It wasn't what you would think, you know, a boy band guy could buy, but it was very nice.

[00:32:30] [SPEAKER_05] Lou Pearlman stole everything. Yeah. He has a big house here at Palm Springs. He lives a couple of blocks away.

[00:32:34] [SPEAKER_04] Well, then I think his mother would say he's done just fine.

[00:32:37] [SPEAKER_00] Just fine. He's done just fine. Okay. But wait, so do you think that Tay Tay is getting married this weekend then? Do you think Madison Square Garden is a ruse to get all the guests?

[00:32:47] [SPEAKER_05] I think Tay Tay's already married. And I think this is the party. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:32:52] [SPEAKER_04] I think this is the party. Yeah.

[00:32:53] [SPEAKER_05] I think her parents and now this is-

[00:32:57] [SPEAKER_04] They're too normal. They're not, you grow up if you're a Midwest person and you have this vision of your kids' weddings. Right. It doesn't include, you know, a thousand people in Batman and NSYNC. Like you picture 200 of your family members, you know what I mean? Yeah. And friends. I think it's just a big party. I think the wedding has already happened somewhere very, and it was very private.

[00:33:22] [SPEAKER_00] Yeah. I agree with you. And we're going to find out all this this weekend and then we can talk about it next week. I'm excited for the podcast next week. I'm so excited. Because we'll have all our answers.

[00:33:32] [SPEAKER_04] I'm excited that you're the new part of the new Jennifer Hudson team.

[00:33:36] [SPEAKER_00] Yes. Yeah. Yeah. She's been on the air for like four years, so I'm excited to go meet them. I have to go meet everybody right now.

[00:33:42] [SPEAKER_04] Okay. Oh my God. I've shaved.

[00:33:44] [SPEAKER_00] I picked out a new outfit. Nice. I have my hipster Nike tennis shoes on with my slacks. So I'm-

[00:33:51] [SPEAKER_04] Are you going to wear glasses so you look smarter than you are?

[00:33:54] [SPEAKER_00] Yes. I am going to wear my glasses.

[00:33:58] [SPEAKER_05] Tell them about the team email. Everybody can't wait for him.

[00:34:00] [SPEAKER_04] Everybody can't wait to see you. I asked permission from the termites if they wanted you or not because they didn't really love Ron as a guest that long time ago. No. They love you. Because they just don't want me. They don't want other people. And they're all- It's all- They want to see you. So pack us up the nice when you come here.

[00:34:17] [SPEAKER_00] I will. I'm going to pick one of my Madigan Pubcast t-shirts.

[00:34:20] [SPEAKER_04] Okay. And then you have to pick what drink you're going to have for- You're going to have at least two cocktails. Tito Bloody Mary. All right. I'll have it ready. We'll make it- Well, good luck with your first meet. It's like your first day of school. First day of school. It's okay.

[00:34:37] [SPEAKER_06] It really is.

[00:34:38] [SPEAKER_00] And I'm going to be late. So-

[00:34:39] [SPEAKER_04] You go. You go. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. That's so great. It's my first day and I'm going to be late. I love Bob. There's so few people you've known your whole life since I've been 25. I know. We're 100. He's great. He's booked everything. He booked The Tonight Show for years and years, Last Comic Standing, he was the judge guy, Chelsea Lately, or something like Chelsea on Netflix.

[00:35:08] [SPEAKER_04] Neil Patrick Harris. Bob's- Update! Oh. Have we had enough of Harry and Meghan's bullshit? Oh my God.

[00:35:20] [SPEAKER_05] Christ all right. It's ridiculous.

[00:35:22] [SPEAKER_04] Now, here's the update. Harry's reconsidering bringing Meghan and the children because he's not getting the security he wants. Dude, nobody-

[00:35:33] [SPEAKER_05] Nobody wants to take your wife-

[00:35:34] [SPEAKER_04] Nobody wants her. Nope. Nobody even knows what your kids look like or if they're real. But I think they floated it out. Now, I said this last week that they're getting the security to force Charles's hand. And how bad do you have to be for me to defend the royal family? How bad? Right. As an Irish American. That's not usually my ballywick. Yeah. I'm not interested. I like to watch the royal thing like a Disney movie. They're like Disney characters.

[00:36:04] [SPEAKER_04] But I, you know, for me to defend Charles. Right. And Camilla. But he's a spoiled little brat. It's horrible. And she is a crazy narcissist and the two of them together. Holy Jesus. I don't trust them. No. They got mics on everywhere they're going. I would have them fully patted down. I know Charles is probably not going to live a whole lot longer. Sad. You know, his kids are. And he probably wants to see those grandkids more than anything on earth.

[00:36:34] [SPEAKER_05] Probably.

[00:36:35] [SPEAKER_04] You know? So then you're playing on his heart strings. Fucking with the old man. Now he's coming. Harry's coming for the Invictus game. So now the latest is they're probably not going. It's just drama. These two can never just be happy. They've been offered royal accommodations every single time. Yep. It's the security that they claim they need. Then you pay for it. Right. Why does the taxpayer sitting in England somewhere have to pay? No.

[00:37:03] [SPEAKER_05] No.

[00:37:03] [SPEAKER_04] And it's going to look like shit. And William's never going to do it. Nope. So that's my update. They might go.

[00:37:10] [SPEAKER_05] Horrible.

[00:37:11] [SPEAKER_04] July is now. So you said July.

[00:37:15] July is now.

[00:37:17] [SPEAKER_04] Update. Nancy Guthrie.

[00:37:22] [SPEAKER_05] Oh.

[00:37:22] [SPEAKER_04] I know we're all tired of this situation. And. But. Sad. I mean. The whole thing is very sad for Nancy.

[00:37:30] [SPEAKER_05] Right.

[00:37:31] [SPEAKER_04] And the kids and the family and all that. But it's been so mishandled.

[00:37:36] [SPEAKER_05] Horrible.

[00:37:37] [SPEAKER_04] And. It's horrible. It's beyond. A person who claimed to be in possession of a video of Nancy Guthrie with her kidnap in a new bombshell ransom letter. This is what are these people doing? I don't know. You're still contacting the cops. I think. Maybe they think they might get caught. And avoid the death penalty. If you cooperate. That's all I can think of. I. I don't know. Maybe. I don't even know if Arizona has a death penalty. I think they do. Oh yeah. They do.

[00:38:05] [SPEAKER_05] I could totally move there then.

[00:38:06] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. You would love it. You kill somebody every month. It'd be so much fun. Um.

[00:38:11] [SPEAKER_05] I don't have income tax. Who cares?

[00:38:12] [SPEAKER_04] The message was emailed to TMZ on Friday and read in part. I have a phone.

[00:38:17] [SPEAKER_05] Only lethal injection.

[00:38:18] [SPEAKER_04] Lethal injection. Yeah. No firing squads. Nope. Hanging. Okay. Um. The message was emailed to TMZ on Friday. It read. I have a phone stashed in a secure location guaranteeing both the information it stores in the safety of the phone. What it contains is my definition of delivering the kidnappers on a silver platter. A short video of the main guy with Nancy the day that was probably her last pictures of both involved names, addresses, and ages.

[00:38:46] [SPEAKER_04] So this is what the message gets sent to Harvey. Right. At TMZ. Um. The man. The individual alleged, uh, there are two kidnappers involved. Okay. Um, they went on to say where the, well, uh, that the phone is in an easy location. If you know where it is, it's easy to access adding. They will give TMZ the password of the phone in exchange for a deposit into a new Bitcoin wallet. Somebody just pay the people. Pay the goddamn money. $4 million.

[00:39:17] [SPEAKER_04] Savannah, A, you and your husband probably have it.

[00:39:20] [SPEAKER_01] Probably.

[00:39:21] [SPEAKER_04] I don't know. Where's the FBI? Did they leave? Are they're not even involved? The outlet claimed to have authenticated that the new email is from the same person who sent the previous ransom notes since the individual used the same alias and referred, uh, reference an old Bitcoin address. Okay. Well, it's them. It's the same people. Pay this and be done.

[00:39:40] [SPEAKER_05] Pay the money.

[00:39:40] [SPEAKER_04] And if it ain't, if it's not, none of it's true and it's all bullshit. Well, so what? Right. You lost some money, but this could put an end to it. Oh, the guy got really mad. Apparently the real guy, he got very mad. It said, I am not the idiot who recently called in a tip about her burial site in Mexico. And he's also very mad that somebody speculated it could be a woman. It is not. God forbid. Okay.

[00:40:08] [SPEAKER_04] He was very, very upset about that.

[00:40:12] [SPEAKER_05] Ridiculous.

[00:40:13] [SPEAKER_04] Fire, fire the Pima County Sheriff. Oh, Chris. Let the FBI take it over. But shit, it's the desert. It's, it's, it's a thousand degrees. A thousand. Yep. Are we going to, we're just, we're not going to find a body. No. Just going to find bones.

[00:40:32] [SPEAKER_05] If that.

[00:40:33] [SPEAKER_04] Is that enough for Savannah? I don't know. I mean, obviously I've never had a parent's parent be a doctor. Closure would be hard.

[00:40:42] [SPEAKER_05] I mean, but you know, nobody can identify her now. It's horrible.

[00:40:46] [SPEAKER_04] Well, well, yeah, you can through DNA. If we found bones, if we dug, if there's a grave and we dig it up and there's bones, come on, you've watched CSI. Um, update. Right.

[00:40:57] [SPEAKER_05] As confident as Suki Waterhouse.

[00:41:00] [SPEAKER_04] And Zishi Hadid.

[00:41:03] [SPEAKER_05] Headed.

[00:41:05] Okay.

[00:41:07] [SPEAKER_04] To go to the wedding, if I, I'm basically Donna Kelsey, basically at this point, I would have to be on YouTube for like three days in advance. Totally. Watching videos of like Suki, please play video of Suki Waterhouse. Oh my God.

[00:41:24] [SPEAKER_05] She knows Patrick Mahomes. That's all she cares about. Right.

[00:41:26] [SPEAKER_04] I would just go hang out with Andy Reid. I love Andy. Come on, Andy. Let's talk about what we're going to do with the offense this year. As a fantasy football coach and manager and owner of two fantasy teams. Update. Hey. Hey. Our missing scientist, the lady. Uh-huh. Uh, the nuclear lab employee. Yep. There's new details about the suicide theory. She's 50, 53 years old. Okay. She, um, she looked 1000% healthy.

[00:41:56] [SPEAKER_04] She's the one who disappeared from her Rancho de Taua's New Mexico home on June 26th, 2025. We've talked about this. Her skeletal remains along with a reported gunshot wound to the head were discovered in New Mexicans Carson National Force on May 28th lying next to her, a handgun that her family insisted not belong to her. Okay. So where'd that coming from? Right. But here's the crazy new details about her final moments as we're doing an update here. Uh-huh.

[00:42:22] [SPEAKER_04] She took her toothbrush and thyroid medication before walking out the door of her Rancho de Taos home for the last time.

[00:42:31] [SPEAKER_05] What?

[00:42:32] [SPEAKER_04] If you took your medication and your toothbrush with you, you're not planning to commit suicide.

[00:42:38] [SPEAKER_05] No. No, not at all.

[00:42:40] [SPEAKER_04] No. You're thinking I need my, shit, I need my medication.

[00:42:44] [SPEAKER_05] Right.

[00:42:44] [SPEAKER_04] Um, they said these are-

[00:42:47] [SPEAKER_05] I want to make sure my thyroid's okay before I kill myself.

[00:42:49] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah, let me make sure I'm balanced on my thyroid. And let me make sure I have really good breath when I blow my head off. This is stupid. Come on. They're also saying, um, the discovery of her remains do not add up. You don't get slumped on a tree. Most of the time, this is a, um, uh, uh, uh, detective person saying, most of the time in every crime scene I've worked on there are skeletonized remains, there's no connective tissue, everything is left. There's no connective tissue left.

[00:43:18] [SPEAKER_04] Everything's on the ground in pieces. Hers was not. Hers was the opposite. They found the bones like leaned up against a tree. Okay. That's bizarre. Yeah. It's completely bizarre. Um, earlier this month, authorities told the Daily Mail that an initial CT scan of the remains did not reveal any projectiles in the skull, meaning no bullet was recovered alongside the skull fragments found in the wounds. Okay. They said she had a gunshot wound to the head.

[00:43:47] [SPEAKER_04] Well, no, she doesn't. Uh, I, I, I'm not smart enough to, I can't rabbit hole this one. There's gotta be somebody smarter than me as a termite. They can rabbit hole this whole missing scientist, nuclear people, propulsion people. They're the, they're all tons of them missing dead. And none of them had that on their radar.

[00:44:09] [SPEAKER_01] Wow.

[00:44:10] [SPEAKER_04] Yep. Update.

[00:44:12] [SPEAKER_01] Update.

[00:44:14] [SPEAKER_04] Uh, it's going to be one of my last ever Everest reports cause climbing season is coming to the end, but the Sherpas are demanding calls for change. Um, uh, yeah. Our big guy, Kami Rita, uh, the guy who broke the record 32 Everest summits. Um, which by the way, my brother, uh, Joe is climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, which I thought,

[00:44:37] [SPEAKER_05] Oh my God.

[00:44:38] [SPEAKER_04] Was in Washington.

[00:44:39] Yeah. What?

[00:44:41] [SPEAKER_04] I thought it was like up in the Northwest.

[00:44:43] [SPEAKER_05] Oh my God.

[00:44:44] [SPEAKER_04] It's in Tanzania.

[00:44:46] [SPEAKER_05] Yeah. That's not here.

[00:44:49] [SPEAKER_04] And then this is how, like how much I would never do something like that. I go, do you know how many world cup games you're going to miss? And he's like, yeah, but I should be home by the finals. I'm like, what do you mean? Should be. Do you have a plane ticket or not? When are you coming back?

[00:45:06] [SPEAKER_05] Oh my God.

[00:45:07] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. This is, he's a climber. Um, go for him. Yeah. Go for you. Go for you. Um, uh, Kami, he said it's very com proud. It's very crowded compared to last year. There's a need for authorities to control the numbers. Um, traffic at the Hillary step. That's way, way, way, way up the mountain was extremely heavy on May 21st with long lines forming as climbers, um, from multiple expedition teams, waiting for their turn to pass through the narrow section.

[00:45:35] [SPEAKER_04] Our team spent three hours crossing this area due to congestion and difficult movement conditions. Now, see, I thought we have read on this podcast, they are making new rules. Maybe they're just not instituted yet. Um, cause there's a lot of things that are going to be. There's people are getting hurt. And, um, this is the new, the real rules that are needed. This is what the Sherpards got. The Sherpas got together and said, this is what we want.

[00:46:00] [SPEAKER_04] At least a 6,500 meter summit before Everest, including mountains outside of Nepal, such as,

[00:46:09] [SPEAKER_03] uh, Akankagua. Akankagua.

[00:46:12] [SPEAKER_04] That sounds good.

[00:46:13] [SPEAKER_05] Well done.

[00:46:14] Akankagua.

[00:46:15] [SPEAKER_05] Akankagua. Akankagua.

[00:46:17] [SPEAKER_04] I don't know where that's at. Every Sherpa must have real guiding qualification and high altitude experience before guiding a client, especially one, one. I don't know what that means. Um, every, so see, I think the Sherpas are like the, some of these expedition companies are just going in hiring guys cause they're, they're a lot of them are poor and they're like, fuck, I'll do it. I'll carry that shit up there. But they're not really a Sherpa. Right. They're not really just because you're local. Right.

[00:46:45] [SPEAKER_04] But this is what people are going to do. Right. Every client in Sherpa must go through medical checks at base camp and camp two before being allowed to climb further. And the, uh, medical checks must come from the permit money. The, yep. I agree. Yeah. There must be a ranger or rescue team at base two to carry out rescues, control numbers and control garbage. This team should not be associated with any expedition company.

[00:47:08] [SPEAKER_05] Right. These are great. Agree. Yep.

[00:47:10] [SPEAKER_04] Wow. These people should be a city council or something. An HOA. Yeah. Um, yeah. So it goes on. They've got a lot. We'll see. We'll update you to our minds to see if it happens. Um, update as a gambler, me and my friend, Ron Thomas. Yay. Prim Valley is going to be safe.

[00:47:37] [SPEAKER_04] Now, prim, uh, won't make sense to a lot of you guys, but it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's before you get to Vegas, if you're coming from the West, but it's also was the home of the prim Valley outlet. So a lot of people didn't know you could leave the Vegas strip. If you want to go to this awesome at the time, I don't know what it would be like now, or even if it's open, I don't know anymore, but it was famous for that. Um, it was good. I was all supposed to close 4th of July, the whole town and become a ghost town, but the ghost town casinos near Las Vegas get a stunning rescue after family finds a last minute buyer.

[00:48:06] [SPEAKER_04] That's awesome. July 4th closure would have been mortifying, says the founder's grandson at the 11th hour on the brink of an impending closure on July 4th, which I talked about here is that is so sad. Um, the prim Valley, uh, the prim family in Nevada found a white night partner to help save its once packed resource from becoming a dilapidated ghost town members of the print. They've signed an agreement with Las Vegas based terribles another private company to operate the hotel and casino. Cool. So great. Let's get that.

[00:48:36] [SPEAKER_04] It's like a landmark. You can't know. Come on.

[00:48:40] [SPEAKER_05] That's awesome. Holy shit. They found it.

[00:48:45] [SPEAKER_04] This could be the cutest. Rodent.

[00:48:48] [SPEAKER_05] Oh no. Yeah. On a trail cam.

[00:48:51] [SPEAKER_04] Well, my, uh, current tour is called, um, flying cats and marching armadillos. And I talk about the fact that I growing up, Missouri knew nothing about armadillos and they're there now.

[00:49:03] [SPEAKER_05] Right.

[00:49:03] [SPEAKER_04] And they're in Tennessee and they're not, I do think they're cute when they go into a ball. They're very cute cause they get scared and they just go and they're an armor ball. Yeah. Like a bowling ball. Well, this thing, I can't, you guys have to go look at a picture of this. Go to the schnotes. It's a pink fairy. They call it the pink fairy armadillo.

[00:49:25] [SPEAKER_05] Oh, it's pink.

[00:49:27] [SPEAKER_04] His shell is pink. His, her shell. The shell is actually pink.

[00:49:32] [SPEAKER_05] The pink fairy armadillo. Yeah. Awesome.

[00:49:33] [SPEAKER_04] It's, um, three to four inches long. It's very tiny and it only weighs 4.2 ounces.

[00:49:41] [SPEAKER_02] Wow.

[00:49:42] [SPEAKER_04] Um, it's a desert adapted animal is endemic to the deserts and scrubs lands of central Argentina. The pink fairy armadillo is closely related to the only other fairy armadillo, the greater fairy armadillo.

[00:49:55] [SPEAKER_05] Oh, fairy armadillo.

[00:49:56] [SPEAKER_04] Wait till you see a picture of this thing. I mean, I'm six years old. I've never seen a picture. No one's ever told me, Hey, there's pink fairy ones that are adorable.

[00:50:06] [SPEAKER_05] Come on over.

[00:50:06] [SPEAKER_04] God, that's awesome. Now it's going to be my mission. I don't think they're going to be here. We're going to talk about world cup.

[00:50:13] [SPEAKER_05] Okay. Moving on to news.

[00:50:16] [SPEAKER_04] We're moving on to news. That's it. That was my holy shit.

[00:50:18] [SPEAKER_05] Uh, fairy armadillo is a good one.

[00:50:21] [SPEAKER_04] There have been so many. Great. Even if you don't like sports, just follow me for the human stories on this one. Um, don't fast forward. And then Wimbledon, I'm going to get into next week because that has begun and the ticket. No, the ticket situation at Wimbledon. It's something to talk about.

[00:50:34] [SPEAKER_05] Okay.

[00:50:35] [SPEAKER_04] Cause you can buy a pass for the whole week, like the masters, but it's like $500,000.

[00:50:39] [SPEAKER_05] What?

[00:50:40] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. I got to do a lot more research. I didn't have the time. Um, uh, somebody is blowing up my phone. What the problem is. Um, what the matter is, what the matter is, um, so my brother, uh, got to go went with his son to world cup. Yeah. To Dallas. Uh, it was, uh, Argentina playing Austria.

[00:51:02] [SPEAKER_05] Oh, good.

[00:51:03] [SPEAKER_04] And I don't know how he missed it.

[00:51:04] [SPEAKER_05] That's fine.

[00:51:04] [SPEAKER_04] But the art, the Argentinian people made friends with an Austrian little person. Did I say this last week? And captured it. Captured it. Yeah. So.

[00:51:15] [SPEAKER_05] But now it's kind of blown up. So it's a big talk about it.

[00:51:18] [SPEAKER_04] Well, they can't, they, they made friends with a little person, a dwarf, Brad Williams. Yeah. We talked about it. Brad is my friend. I could say dwarf and they carried around like their King. It was so fun. And they changed his shirt and he put on the Argentinian Jersey.

[00:51:33] [SPEAKER_05] Oh, he was so excited. Yeah. Um, move out of Texas. There's not going home.

[00:51:36] [SPEAKER_04] There's a witch doctor from Ghana now involved. And he did predict that the Germans would fail.

[00:51:44] [SPEAKER_05] I know.

[00:51:45] [SPEAKER_04] Japan and Germany lost on the same day. Oh, what does that remind us of? Oh, we're not allowed to talk about that anymore. 1945. Um, I was shocked. The Germany game against Portugal was crazy and I can't even believe it. Uh, very happy for Portugal, but Germany needs to get their shit together because the last time they were good, I remember it was Thomas Mueller, the golden boy with the golden boot. Cause you win a golden boot if you are the best person in the world cup or whatever.

[00:52:14] [SPEAKER_05] Didn't your dad like him a lot?

[00:52:15] [SPEAKER_04] My dad couldn't wait. Turn on, turn on the Germans. Thomas Mueller, the golden boy with the golden boot. He's so, and he was so handsome and he was great. But Germany hasn't been good. That had it been 14, 15 years ago. I don't know. A long time ago. And they're just, there's no, doesn't seem to be a standout on that team. Whatever. We're narrowing it down. I might, might go Tuesday, July 7th.

[00:52:40] [SPEAKER_06] Where?

[00:52:42] [SPEAKER_04] Atlanta. Cool. It will most likely be Argentina playing either Egypt or Australia.

[00:52:51] [SPEAKER_05] Oh my God. You get to see messy.

[00:52:53] [SPEAKER_04] I know. I have a couple of pals at Delta that might be able to get me. I still have, you know, I would have to pay and everything, but. Cool. It might. It's inside. How exciting. It's inside. So it's not a hundred degrees.

[00:53:06] Uh huh.

[00:53:08] [SPEAKER_04] Go to, fly to Atlanta, get a cab downtown, boom, go to the hotel, boom. You can now walk to everything. Right. I don't need to, I'm not driving. I'm not parking. These old people things. Yeah, downtown Atlanta is easy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, I'm, I might, I don't know. I think that would be manageable though. It's these ones where they're too far away and the parking's crazy and I don't care.

[00:53:30] [SPEAKER_05] You don't want to fly to LA and attempt so-fi?

[00:53:32] [SPEAKER_04] Uh, no, no, I don't want to attempt so-fi. Which is not near the airport? It, ugh. Everybody says it is. No, you couldn't pay, well, you could pay me, but it would be a lot to go.

[00:53:44] [SPEAKER_05] How about Philly?

[00:53:46] [SPEAKER_04] Philly's manageable.

[00:53:47] [SPEAKER_05] Yep.

[00:53:48] [SPEAKER_04] Except it's outside. Right. Oh, we want a dome. I want a dome. This is what old people demand. Roofs? I need a roof. What if it fucking rains? I'm not going to sit out there in a poncho. How much is a beer? No. I don't care about that.

[00:54:03] [SPEAKER_05] I know you don't. That's why I like you.

[00:54:05] [SPEAKER_04] I don't care. You can charge me $20 for me, that's right. Um, I just care about the parking and the chaos and the, you know, whatever. So we'll see. I don't know. USA plays this week. We'll see. I think they're very good. They're better than they've ever been.

[00:54:24] [SPEAKER_05] Canada's going to get crushed by Morocco.

[00:54:26] I know.

[00:54:27] [SPEAKER_04] I, you guys, you've had a great run. You've had a great showing.

[00:54:31] [SPEAKER_05] Yeah.

[00:54:32] [SPEAKER_04] But I do believe it is now time to meet your maker and go to your night night. It's yeah.

[00:54:37] [SPEAKER_05] It's yeah. It's yeah. Seeing them yesterday. I was like, um, this is going to be horrible.

[00:54:43] [SPEAKER_04] Speaking of, um, let's play Morocco in hockey.

[00:54:45] [SPEAKER_05] Well, let's even this out. Right.

[00:54:47] [SPEAKER_04] I thought this was for the world cup, but it's actually for the 4th of July. Okay. Dunkin Donuts. It's compete with, uh, compete with Starbucks is bear thing. Cup. Oh yeah.

[00:55:01] [SPEAKER_05] The teddy bear.

[00:55:02] [SPEAKER_04] They're releasing in America 4th of July special edition Eagle cup. God, it is ridiculous looking, but it's kind of fun. I got to say if I was there, I would buy it. Okay. It's going to be available June 29th and it's 10 99. You get a free medium beverage with purchase and features a unique promotional code inside unlocking $3 medium refresher or Dunkin zero beverages for 30 days. How exciting is that? I'm in. Yeah. I'm not even a Dunkin. That's an East coast thing.

[00:55:30] [SPEAKER_04] I'm not really a Dunkin person, but I don't mind it. It's fine. How about a refresher? Um, uh, this is a funny speaking of ticket prices and all that stuff just since we're in sports, Buffalo bills, fans outrage are, uh, enraged by outrageous ticket price cost at the new stadium. This is sad because those Buffalo fans more than anyone. Well, no, maybe green Bay.

[00:55:53] [SPEAKER_05] Yeah.

[00:55:53] [SPEAKER_04] Um, yeah, they go down and shovel fucking snow. They do everything in the world to be a participating fan. Yes. Shovel snow in a blizzard when it's, it's 10 degrees out. Right. Um, so you can have Sunday night football. They want there. It was always part of them. Well, the new stadium, this is why my friends in Kansas city are like, do not change, do not change because it's all out of our control then. And it's going to be terrible.

[00:56:18] [SPEAKER_06] Right.

[00:56:18] [SPEAKER_04] Well, um, the cheapest seats in the new stadium to see a bills game are going to be $700, 700. Yep. I mean, the cheapest, some guy first home game, September 17th, $702 on tick ticket master.

[00:56:38] [SPEAKER_05] I mean, you can't, that's the many opening game, many bills, the opening game of the stadium.

[00:56:44] [SPEAKER_04] Well, that's true. Many bills, bills, devotees where they might never see a game in the new stadium for which taxpayers paid $850 million. We're now building shit that half the people will never go to never see. Nope. It will be the home of the end for the next 30 years.

[00:57:02] [SPEAKER_05] They say that, but you know, well, right.

[00:57:06] [SPEAKER_04] They won't last 30. They'll come up with some different. Yeah. Um, let me see if there's any other sports news before I go on. I think that was it.

[00:57:13] [SPEAKER_05] A lot of world cup. It's fun. I'm so excited. You might get to see messy.

[00:57:18] I know.

[00:57:18] [SPEAKER_05] So great.

[00:57:20] [SPEAKER_04] What are you going to wear? Um, well, if they're playing Egypt or Australia, I would still root for Argentina. Uh huh. So for that game, I'll wear, uh, their Jersey.

[00:57:32] [SPEAKER_05] Okay.

[00:57:33] Yeah.

[00:57:34] [SPEAKER_04] When, you know, support the team that's out there. Right. I don't know.

[00:57:37] Okay.

[00:57:38] [SPEAKER_04] Would that be bad if I did that? No. And then posted it. And then people are going to be like, you're not a USA person. Well, I'm not at a USA game.

[00:57:44] [SPEAKER_05] Correct.

[00:57:45] [SPEAKER_04] Right. Maybe I'll wear Canada's Jersey. That'd fuck people up.

[00:57:49] [SPEAKER_05] RIP.

[00:57:49] Oh my God.

[00:57:53] [SPEAKER_05] And it's always one Canadian with a Canadian flag. Oh, I know. Any place. You can be that person.

[00:57:58] [SPEAKER_04] Golf tournament. All of a sudden somebody whips a flag. I'm like, where are you all getting these flags?

[00:58:02] [SPEAKER_05] They're free.

[00:58:03] [SPEAKER_04] I know. That's crazy.

[00:58:04] [SPEAKER_05] You got it right to parliament.

[00:58:05] [SPEAKER_04] And you get, they'll send mail you a free, what size?

[00:58:08] [SPEAKER_05] What size flag? Like big little. I haven't done it since I was a child.

[00:58:12] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, I wonder if you can email the American government and get a free flag. I doubt it.

[00:58:16] [SPEAKER_05] I don't know.

[00:58:16] [SPEAKER_04] Huh?

[00:58:17] [SPEAKER_05] Buy one on.

[00:58:18] [SPEAKER_04] It is crazy. It could be the weird, like a, it could be in the Olympics, a ping pong tournament. And there's a fucking, somebody whips out a goddamn Canadian flag.

[00:58:26] [SPEAKER_05] I'm like, where are you getting all these flags? We're silent.

[00:58:31] [SPEAKER_04] I have a new hero.

[00:58:34] [SPEAKER_05] Who's that?

[00:58:35] [SPEAKER_04] I don't know his name. Okay. He's Mexican. And it's a Mexican Batman.

[00:58:42] [SPEAKER_05] What?

[00:58:42] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. He's a, he, he's a vigilante. He's chasing down suspects who steal motor, the motorbicle thieves. And then he's taping them to lamppost.

[00:58:52] [SPEAKER_05] What's a motorbicle?

[00:58:53] [SPEAKER_04] A motorbike thief. Ah. And then he's writing thief on their forehead. Oh. And he's taping them with massive, massive duct tape. I saw a picture of two, two boys. Well, young people, 20 somethings. Uh, he, yeah, he's doing it at night. That's awesome. Just like Batman. He's wanted by the police. What? For chasing down suspected motorbike thieves in town. For doing their job. And taping them to lampposts. Right. What would you, let him keep going. Yeah, he's helping you. Maybe they'll, he's not hurting them. No. Maybe they'll learn their goddamn lesson.

[00:59:23] [SPEAKER_04] Right. Quit stealing other people's motorcycles. At least five men were discovered helplessly duct taped to street poles over the last 10 days beginning on June 13th in the area of Lagos de Moreno y Lisco.

[00:59:36] [SPEAKER_05] Awesome.

[00:59:37] [SPEAKER_04] I said that pretty good.

[00:59:38] Thank you.

[00:59:39] [SPEAKER_05] Yeah, he's, you're starting to sound actually.

[00:59:40] [SPEAKER_04] Many of the alleged thieves also had mustaches and cat whiskers and the Spanish word for thief scrawled on their faces. Oh, he put cat whiskers on them. I love it. He's drawing on them.

[00:59:52] [SPEAKER_06] Zing, zing.

[00:59:54] [SPEAKER_04] The vigilante, which Cardenas referred to as the Batman of Lagos de Moreno left the allegedly stolen bikes near the men to show off their crimes. Oh. One photo captured two men duct tape back to back with a pole with a pink sign above their heads and a bike left in front of them. Police are treating the tied up men as victims. Bullshit. Oh, come on. Bullshit. This guy. I believe this guy. I do too. They didn't.

[01:00:23] [SPEAKER_04] They got on tape. They don't have any injuries. I'm rooting for Batman. Totally rooting for Batman. Oh, man. This is not necessarily a tour on event. Wait, wait. I have to say that for the end. Let's talk about the European heat wave. There's a termite. I think Richard. Somebody on Twitter. I've been going back and forth with. He's over there. He was in the Louvre when they closed it. It got so hot.

[01:00:49] [SPEAKER_06] Oh, I know. That's so sad.

[01:00:51] [SPEAKER_04] I know. And he was, well, he was telling me people have sodas and sandwiches. Like no, no, no, no one's gotten control of the, of what we're doing with security yet at the Louvre. No. Probably other ones too. The Eiffel Tower's closed.

[01:01:04] [SPEAKER_05] I love that he's just tweeting you pictures from lines. I know. I loved it. I was like, oh, I have boots on the ground. I have to turn my boots on the ground.

[01:01:12] [SPEAKER_04] That's great. This heat wave. I mean here, say the South or the Midwest. Is it weird that it's a hundred in July? No, but Europe, a hundred and eight in Germany. These are real temperatures. A hundred and twelve in France and their air conditioning sucks.

[01:01:34] [SPEAKER_05] Horrible.

[01:01:34] [SPEAKER_04] Sorry. I'm a big fan of Europe, but that part because they never needed it before. But with climate change and you know, I get not wanting to bust into the structure of a building that's from the year 1000. It's just going to be a pickup sticks pile. That's going to go bullshit. But like when I had a little house in LA, there was a one car garage deal that I made into an office and I got this thing that I don't know, they stick it on the wall. It's not an indoor. It's not an window unit.

[01:02:03] [SPEAKER_04] You just stick it on the wall and it does heat and air. Let's upgrade.

[01:02:07] [SPEAKER_05] All of it.

[01:02:08] [SPEAKER_04] All of it. I know. But they think 80, 20 rule. It's not that hot that often, but it keeps getting longer and longer and longer. Right. We're closing the Eiffel Tower. Yeah. They're letting people swim in those.

[01:02:20] [SPEAKER_05] Yeah. They open up the parks. Yeah. 24 hours.

[01:02:22] [SPEAKER_04] You can swim in the ponds. But this stuff is, this is the new normal. I'm so sick of people going, this hasn't happened in a hundred years. Well, it's happening now every year. So, yeah, somebody's got to do something. Um, this, this story makes me laugh and it applies to my friend, little dwarf.

[01:02:44] [SPEAKER_03] Oh boy.

[01:02:45] [SPEAKER_04] Well, I am not. Um, I have never done mushrooms. I will never do mushrooms. I don't do stuff that makes me feel I can't control what's going to happen to my, yeah, completely. Yeah. But other people, you know, really like that feeling. Well, there's, so if you're a shroomer. You're saying you're not? No, I'm not. No, no, no, no, no. But if you're a shroomer, there's a new magic mushroom that makes users see tiny gnome

[01:03:12] [SPEAKER_04] people and scientists have no idea how it's doing that.

[01:03:18] [SPEAKER_06] What?

[01:03:18] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. And then they, they, there's a tiniest. There's a picture of what all the people that do this mushroom have all agree. This is what you see. And they look like tiny, tiny, but they look like someone sculpted a real person. They don't look cartoonish. They look like miniature, miniature, miniature people, the smallest of all people.

[01:03:43] [SPEAKER_05] Wow.

[01:03:44] [SPEAKER_04] I did. This is, yeah, this was, article was written by a girl named Hannah. She wrote, it's a real scientific article. Magic mushrooms? You have gnome idea.

[01:03:56] [SPEAKER_05] Oh! Get it? Funny.

[01:03:58] [SPEAKER_04] Move over, physocybin. There's a new psychoactive agent on the scene. It's so exciting. A study he published last month in my, I don't know, has on our new details on how one freaky fungus makes those who ingest it hallucinate teeny tiny people all around them. And no other mushroom does this.

[01:04:21] [SPEAKER_05] Wow.

[01:04:21] [SPEAKER_04] Um.

[01:04:22] [SPEAKER_05] The most magic mushrooms.

[01:04:24] [SPEAKER_04] The traditional ones take about an hour to kick in. They produce psychedelic effects like heightened color perception, pulsating objects, or moving geometric patterns in scenery, which is the only way I would be interested in the Grateful Dead. Users experience, um, dilated pupils, elevated heart rate, nausea, and impaired coordination. No, thanks. Most who eat it, um, oh. But this new mushroom, most who eat it report none of that.

[01:04:52] [SPEAKER_04] They can seem functionally sober and their surroundings remains largely unchanged except for the miniature people.

[01:05:00] [SPEAKER_05] Wow. That would, wow.

[01:05:02] [SPEAKER_04] That might be something I would try if you guaranteed me.

[01:05:06] [SPEAKER_05] Where do you get them?

[01:05:07] [SPEAKER_04] I don't know. Where do people get mushrooms? Um, so far it's the only fungus, let alone food on the planet known to produce a hallucination and scientists have no idea how it's doing this. Even to this day science doesn't understand what's going on in the braids or how to treat it. And this mushroom is the only thing we currently know of to reliably produce this effect. Just this one magic mushroom. I gotta tell Brian. Yeah. He could go to the sphere with a million teeny tiny people.

[01:05:33] [SPEAKER_05] That'd be fun. And then he'd be the leader.

[01:05:37] [SPEAKER_04] This mushroom is native to the pine forest in southwestern China and northern Philippines where it's wild, harvested, and sold in local markets for typical culinary use.

[01:05:49] [SPEAKER_05] Oh.

[01:05:50] [SPEAKER_04] Oh. Oh. This is how they figured it out. The teeny tiny people started showing up as a result of undercooking the mushroom. This is so stupid. The species became known only about 10 years ago. The little people... Unless you cook it out? The little... Well, yeah, because they were selling the mushroom as a... Mushroom. Right. Yeah. And you put it in food, but you gotta cook it. Right. If it's undercooked, the teeny tiny people invade. Here, the little people are said to typically...

[01:06:21] [SPEAKER_04] It's a gamble. No, they like teasing or playing with or harassing the person they see. I mean... So you're gonna have this army of teeny tiny people.

[01:06:30] Wow.

[01:06:31] [SPEAKER_04] Everyone knows this mushroom has this property that can make you see little people, but they'll continue to eat it in any way because they're just not afraid of that effect.

[01:06:39] [SPEAKER_06] Okay.

[01:06:39] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, I would be highly distracted.

[01:06:41] [SPEAKER_05] I know.

[01:06:43] [SPEAKER_04] It's kind of fun. Wow. I get it to a dwarf.

[01:06:47] [SPEAKER_05] Yeah.

[01:06:49] [SPEAKER_04] This is such breaking news for all my shroomer friends. Come on.

[01:06:54] [SPEAKER_05] Wanna come over and have an uncooked mushroom?

[01:06:57] [SPEAKER_04] It makes me want to try it. This is great. The children... It's not just the children, I don't think. I think it's adults. The older people do. Uh-huh. People are flipping off social media. They're sick of it. Nostalgic 80s tech firm Commodore is hoping to combat tech addiction by releasing a retro flip phone that banishes social media apps.

[01:07:21] [SPEAKER_05] Oh.

[01:07:22] [SPEAKER_04] My brother's also aware of this because there's one kid, there's phone issues. And there's a thing called the Wise Phone. Okay. And it comes with apps that are preloaded, but you can't get on the internet. Well, the apps are preloaded like maps, things you need. Okay. No social media is allowed. Google Maps, but not Google. Right. Gotcha. Right.

[01:07:47] [SPEAKER_05] Okay.

[01:07:48] [SPEAKER_04] This phone called the Commodore Callback 820. This vintage phone reboot is being billed as a retreat from black mirror technology designed to help you spend less time staring at a screen.

[01:08:00] [SPEAKER_01] Cool.

[01:08:01] [SPEAKER_04] Would you do it?

[01:08:02] No.

[01:08:03] [SPEAKER_04] I wouldn't either. Sometimes I like playing on my phone. Yeah. But the callback, which will be available later this year, facilitates digital detox by patent-pending technology to block web browsers and social media at the system level. The catch is that the mobile methadone does offer internet connectivity, ostensibly offering full functionality of a modern phone without the risk of screen addiction.

[01:08:31] [SPEAKER_05] Cool.

[01:08:32] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. I mean, if you-

[01:08:32] [SPEAKER_05] Give it to the younger kids. Yeah. They'll be a dork when they get to high school.

[01:08:36] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. Well, I don't know what children think.

[01:08:40] [SPEAKER_05] I don't know what children think. I don't know.

[01:08:43] [SPEAKER_04] We're going to talk about next week. Okay. We're going to talk about Dirty Phil Mickelson and Topgolf, but not this week. Oh, boy. I think everybody needs to know this. There's a fish in the United States that breathes air, walks on land, and refuses to die. What? It's called the Northern Snakehead. It's an invasive predator native to Russia, China, and Korea. It has now been spotted in at least 15 states, including New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland,

[01:09:12] [SPEAKER_04] Missouri, Georgia, and Arkansas. Oh. The fish can survive several days out of water as long as its skin stays moist. It uses its fins and body to, quote, walk across land in search of new ponds, some even crossing roads. The females can lay up to 50,000 eggs at a time.

[01:09:29] [SPEAKER_05] Oh, my God.

[01:09:30] [SPEAKER_04] They have no natural predators in the United States and devour native fish, amphibians, crustaceans, destroying ecosystems in months. In months, your whole thing's going to be fucked up. U.S. wildlife have an unusual instruction for anyone who catches one. Kill it on sight. Officials recommend severing the head, gutting it, or sealing it. Oh, God.

[01:09:53] [SPEAKER_05] No.

[01:09:54] [SPEAKER_04] Well, you want the death penalty. Come on now.

[01:09:57] [SPEAKER_05] No, not to the poor fish.

[01:09:59] [SPEAKER_04] No. You get a look at this guy, it ain't a poor fish.

[01:10:02] [SPEAKER_05] No.

[01:10:02] [SPEAKER_04] It's freakish and its teeth are insane. It looks like a piranha, but way bigger. All right. Sealing it in a plastic bag before reporting it.

[01:10:12] [SPEAKER_05] Okay.

[01:10:13] [SPEAKER_04] They even suggest cooking and eating it. Oh. They say it tastes great fried or in fish tacos. Who are they? Gross. Right.

[01:10:20] [SPEAKER_05] No.

[01:10:21] [SPEAKER_04] No, I'm not eating the snake head thing. No.

[01:10:22] [SPEAKER_05] Gross.

[01:10:23] [SPEAKER_04] No. Hold on.

[01:10:26] [SPEAKER_05] I only believe in the death penalty if you did something to deserve it.

[01:10:31] [SPEAKER_04] I understand. I was joking about the snake. I know. Come on. I don't like it a lot.

[01:10:35] [SPEAKER_05] I have to defend myself sometimes in email.

[01:10:40] [SPEAKER_04] No. I haven't been to the email box in a hot minute because I was distracted.

[01:10:44] [SPEAKER_05] I was distracted this month. I was golfing and playing with my cats. I was distracted. I was distracted.

[01:10:50] [SPEAKER_04] Um.

[01:10:50] [SPEAKER_05] Flying the ultimate chill pillow for my feral cats.

[01:10:53] [SPEAKER_04] Okay. This is no. Right. I agree. This is not a tour on thing. Okay. But this is why we're. So in our continuing effort to not stay dumb, what we're going to learn this week to say in Spanish is there's a crocodile in the water and you're going to yell that and here's why.

[01:11:16] [SPEAKER_04] A crocodile that killed a Puerto Vallarta man, as a Southern California family watched, has been spotted at the beach. There were two people relaxing by the pool of Marriott, Puerto Vallarta, when they heard screams coming from the beach. They ran over it, but someone had gotten caught in a riptide and jumped into a kayak to help. Upon further investigation, they saw a man, only identified as a 28-year-old man, being mauled by a crocodile.

[01:11:42] [SPEAKER_05] Oh, God.

[01:11:43] [SPEAKER_04] There was nothing at the beach we could do to help. There were no oars. We were just strambling, trying to do what we could do. So that's not a Torrance. That's a sad, but we're going to learn. This is, so I Googled it. Is there a crocodile in the water? No, it's saying, you have to yell that. There is a crocodile in the water. Like, if we'd have seen it, we need to know these things.

[01:12:13] [SPEAKER_04] If you're going to go to the beach in Mexico, which a lot of people want to do, ayuna, ayuna, cuacadilla, and agua. I like it. I didn't say that very good, I know. That's okay. I didn't listen this morning. I usually refresh in the morning, and Bobby got me distracted. There's a lot going on.

[01:12:29] Yeah. Yeah.

[01:12:31] [SPEAKER_04] Grown cup. We're not staying dumb. No, we're not. Let's do a grammar rule so we don't stay dumb. Thank you. Okay? This is an easy one.

[01:12:43] [SPEAKER_05] Okay.

[01:12:44] [SPEAKER_04] Although, I don't know. A lot of people probably use these the same way. May, meaning I may go to the world club, versus might. Do you know the difference?

[01:12:56] [SPEAKER_02] No.

[01:13:00] [SPEAKER_04] May is more possible. Might is less certain.

[01:13:05] [SPEAKER_05] Okay.

[01:13:06] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. I never knew that.

[01:13:08] [SPEAKER_05] We should use those in a sentence, like spelling bee.

[01:13:11] [SPEAKER_04] Right.

[01:13:13] [SPEAKER_05] Go ahead.

[01:13:14] [SPEAKER_04] All right. Oh, we're not good.

[01:13:15] [SPEAKER_05] We're not staying dumb. We're not doing spelling bee.

[01:13:18] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, I might. No, wait. I may go to a world cup game. It's possible. I might not go golf when it's 100 with Dorf. Maddie! He's a crazy person. He is a crazy person. I know.

[01:13:36] Yeah, I love him.

[01:13:37] [SPEAKER_04] We're not staying dumb. Black history is being removed from school. Let's put black history back in school. Great. I never knew any of this shit. Nobody ever taught any of this to me. Guess who invented elevator doors that open, rather than having to have some elevator attendant who had to do the thing. I remember those old, old-timey elevators where there's a fence and a gate, and some elevator operator. A human being had to work all day in a goddamn elevator. Never saw the sun. Never saw the way.

[01:14:07] [SPEAKER_04] I always thought, what a horrible job.

[01:14:08] [SPEAKER_05] Now they look more like freight elevators.

[01:14:10] [SPEAKER_04] Well, right. Well, the guy who invented those doors, African-American Alexander Miles. He was born in 1838, and he died in 1918.

[01:14:21] Wow.

[01:14:22] [SPEAKER_04] He's from Ohio. Cool. Well, he was raised in Chillicothe, Ohio. Then he moved to Wisconsin. He worked as a barber. Then he moved to Minnesota, and he got married. And then she had two kids. She was a widow. And then they moved to New York. Their daughter, Grace. Grace, he got the idea of the elevator door mechanism after Grace accidentally fell down a shaft, almost ending her life. Shortly after her birth, the family relocated to Duluth, Minnesota. Nice.

[01:14:51] [SPEAKER_04] Here, he became the first black member of the Duluth Chamber of Commerce and opened a barbershop out of the St. Louis Hotel. And then they have, he was inducted into the Inventors Hall of Fame in 2007 because nobody else had figured out how to have automatic doors. When the elevator gets to a floor and the doors just open, it's because of Alexander. Fantastic. Yep. So there you go. And then there's, then his drawings. Jesus. He submitted these drawings.

[01:15:16] [SPEAKER_04] They are very hard for a patent in 1887.

[01:15:22] [SPEAKER_05] Okay.

[01:15:25] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. So he's the first guy. Some guy came along after that and improved on that, but yeah. Feel good. Then some quotes. And then I got to do some thank yous. Let me organize this for one second. This will go here.

[01:15:39] [SPEAKER_05] What are we watching this week? Oh, well, I was World Cup. Although. What else were you watching? You called me.

[01:15:46] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader. They have a new season and it's just as addictive. And it's, oh my God. I'm going to talk about it next week. Okay. Go watch it. I'm going to talk about it next week because I love.

[01:15:59] [SPEAKER_05] A thousand degrees. What are you watching?

[01:16:01] [SPEAKER_04] I love every, yeah. If it's too hot where you're at to go do shit outside, I got a great binge because it's just so, I don't even want to talk about it. It's so exciting that it's back on. And believe me, the last thing I give a shit about is cheerleaders or dance or any of that stuff. But it is, it's just really well done. Yeah. And I am invested in some of these girls. Like. There's one from Missouri. Anna Kate from Missouri. She's dynamite.

[01:16:29] [SPEAKER_04] Some of them, they're just Reese.

[01:16:31] [SPEAKER_02] Is Brooke going to move back to Alabama? No.

[01:16:35] [SPEAKER_01] I don't know. Alabama's calling. Oh my God. That's funny.

[01:16:40] [SPEAKER_04] Uh, we're going to talk about that in depth. Okay. Um, my feel good story. This is great. This is so funny. It's a funny good. A dog named storm looks to be some sort of shepherdy mutt. Okay. Um, escape from home and somehow ended up inside a Metallica concert. Like he had tickets the whole time. Concert goers eventually notice a dog calmly sitting among the crowd during the show.

[01:17:08] [SPEAKER_04] And the story immediately exploded online because honestly, this feels exactly like something a dog with excellent music taste would do. People started joking that storm simply refused to miss Metallica live. The funniest part is the dog wasn't even panicking. He was just sitting there chilling there while security attendees tried to figure out where he came from. Uh, even Metallica later reacted to the story online.

[01:17:33] [SPEAKER_04] The internet has basically adopted him as the official dog, official mascot of dogs that have secret personalities. What song do you think he showed up for? And then it said, but he's adorable and he's sitting there like a person. That's funny. He just plopped in a seat. They did say whose dog is he though. I want to know who's like, who, who lost their little shepherd mutt person. Who lost their pup? We'll do some thank yous and then a saint and some quotes. Uh, UPS. Got some stuff in the mail.

[01:18:03] [SPEAKER_04] Bigfoot t-shirt, uh, Bree and Jay termites, postcards with this Spanish quotes on it. Great. East LA Hispanic termite, Bernie. Bernie. That doesn't sound very Hispanic. Most Bernies I know are Jewish. Honestly. Yeah. Huh. Interesting. Bernie. Pickleball book, uh, from Kitty. Uh, it's a bookmarker and a Bigfoot t-shirt, uh, and my American history cards, which I love Dearborn, Michigan termite, Maryland.

[01:18:30] [SPEAKER_04] And then Knoxville, oh my God, so much great stuff in Knoxville. The crew was very surprised. They're like, what is all this for? I'm like, I don't know. Because I do the podcast and they're appreciative. And it, uh, it's the work of the Lord. Blackberry jelly delectables for the night guards. They love the delectables. The delectables. Oh, then they get, then the cats get on, oh, I don't like chicken poulet today. Fuck off, baby cat. You always like the green ones. And now, no, do you have another flavor? I know.

[01:18:59] [SPEAKER_04] Um, uh, oh my God, the peanut butter and jelly beer. The children love it. I tried. It's from Knoxville. I saw it downstairs.

[01:19:08] [SPEAKER_05] I'm going to try it.

[01:19:09] [SPEAKER_04] Ash and Laura. I tried. It's very interesting. The kids love it though. Okay. The 20 somethings. They loved it. Um, and Bloody Mary ingredients that were great. And LSU gear. Oh, so much stuff from South Carolina. Sarah and David. Uh, the Dolly songbook. Uh, it, it was just a great, um. Fun weekend. It was a fun weekend. It's so great to be able to drive and not have to go to the airport. And the crowd. Well, and the Bijou is a good sized theater. It's not humongous.

[01:19:39] [SPEAKER_04] And the energy stays in the room. And it's old. And it's historic. And it's just great.

[01:19:43] [SPEAKER_05] That's awesome.

[01:19:44] [SPEAKER_04] Um, we're going to do.

[01:19:47] [SPEAKER_05] Glad you had fun.

[01:19:48] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah, I had a great time. Uh, hold on, hold on. I had this picked up.

[01:19:53] Okay.

[01:19:54] [SPEAKER_04] Uh, okay. This is St. Simeon. Uh, he's in charge of, uh, shepherds.

[01:20:03] [SPEAKER_05] Shepherds?

[01:20:03] [SPEAKER_04] Okay. I thought St. Patrick was, but I guess not. The most famous of desert hermits, known as Anchorites, was the son of a Syrian shepherd. He entered a local monastery at the age of 13, but was expelled because he, because of the extreme mortifications he performed.

[01:20:20] [SPEAKER_04] Such as winding his body with chains until his flesh was raw and delicately replacing maggots when they emerged from his wounds for a breath of air. This is the shit I'm being told in fifth grade. Gross. I'm 10. Man. So wait. This guy dug holes in his skin with chains and then maggots went in and then they would try to escape for air and he would delicately put them back in. Gross. He became a solitary hermit.

[01:20:50] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah, I bet nobody wants to hang out with this guy. No. On a mountaintop, but his flamboyant holiness, he dressed in the wild bee skins and performed prodigious feats of fasting, inspired crowds to seek him out for their edification or perhaps entertainment. To escape their unwanted attention, he took up residence on top of a 10-foot high pillar. Curiously enough, this attracted even greater crowds.

[01:21:14] [SPEAKER_04] And for remaining 35 years of his life, Simeon lived on a series of even higher pillars. His final earthly home was a six-foot square platform on a pillar 60 feet high. Huh. He had some whack jobs before cable TV was available. Gross. Hey, Simeon. You coming down? No. No. Playing with some maggots.

[01:21:44] [SPEAKER_04] Putting the maggots back in my wounds. Shut your mouth.

[01:21:48] [SPEAKER_05] That's that weird guy.

[01:21:50] [SPEAKER_04] Prince. This is a quote from Prince. Great. This is on keeping out of the tabloids.

[01:21:56] [SPEAKER_05] Oh.

[01:21:57] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. I'm not entangled in a bunch of lawsuits and a web that I can't get out of. I can hold my head up. A happily married man who has his head in order. There isn't a bunch of scandal in my life.

[01:22:08] [SPEAKER_05] Good for you. Nice. Good for you, Prince.

[01:22:09] [SPEAKER_04] You stay in Minnesota and be weird. Perfect.

[01:22:12] [SPEAKER_05] Stay weird, Minnesota.

[01:22:13] [SPEAKER_04] Stay weird, Minnesota. Stay weird, Prince.

[01:22:15] Whew.

[01:22:16] [SPEAKER_04] I still want to go to his house there and I haven't.

[01:22:18] [SPEAKER_05] No?

[01:22:19] [SPEAKER_04] Mm-mm. You can go.

[01:22:21] [SPEAKER_05] Paisley Park?

[01:22:22] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah.

[01:22:23] [SPEAKER_05] Fun.

[01:22:24] [SPEAKER_04] Um, cool. David Bowie. I love David Bowie. I'm trying to understand his songs. I don't think I ever resolve anything on my work. There are inevitably a series of questions in as much as anything else. And then they try to capture an atmosphere that I'm living through to a certain extent. See, I don't even know what that meant.

[01:22:44] [SPEAKER_05] I don't either.

[01:22:45] [SPEAKER_04] That's why I like David Bowie. Yeah. He's weird.

[01:22:48] [SPEAKER_05] David's weird.

[01:22:49] [SPEAKER_04] Somebody's got to be weird. I'm too normal, for better or worse. Sometimes I wish I was weirder. I'm just not.

[01:22:55] [SPEAKER_05] You're a grounding force.

[01:22:56] [SPEAKER_04] I am Joe and Sally Lunchbox, as my brother insults me, calls me when he's insulting me. Listen, Sally Lunchbox, because he says I'm like, I know.

[01:23:06] [SPEAKER_03] Mm-hmm.

[01:23:07] [SPEAKER_04] All right, termites. Enjoy summer. I hope you're not in the heat dome. It goes pretty far up, too. It's crazy. Like, all the way up to Wisconsin. And, yeah.

[01:23:17] [SPEAKER_05] Be careful of fireworks and pets.

[01:23:18] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. Don't do anything crazy on the floor. It's going to be so hot.

[01:23:22] I don't know.

[01:23:24] [SPEAKER_04] I don't really care so much about fire. I mean, not like I did when you were young. Well, I like it. I don't know. I like it when they're. If there's a bunch of World Cup games, I'm just going to watch it. Okay. Yeah. The heat's got to stop. Happy Canada. Happy Canada Day. Happy Canada Day. Happy Fourth of July. We're partying. Canada, don't give up on your team. And you know what? If they get beaten by Morocco, so be it. You had a great showing. First time ever. Yeah. They made it into the Sweet 16.

[01:23:54] [SPEAKER_06] Yep.

[01:23:54] [SPEAKER_04] Or whatever. Yeah. That was fun. It's great. It means you're progressing as a club of your country to have better players and better players and better players.

[01:24:06] [SPEAKER_05] And we got a broken leg, guys. Yeah.

[01:24:07] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. And your guy that broke his leg, he was extremely good. Yeah. And it's sad times for him. So.

[01:24:13] All right.

[01:24:13] [SPEAKER_04] That's it. Are we ready? Fire. Fire. Fire in the heat. Fire. Fire. Fire. Fire.
