Episode 281: World Cup Corruption, a Homicidal Elephant & Yellowstone’s Animals Punch Back

[00:00:08] Hey everybody, it's me, Kathleen Madigan. Welcome to Madigan's Pubcast. You grab yourself a drink, pull up a bar stool, and let's talk about what's been going on. Termites! Welcome! Fire! Welcome! Welcome, as Stevie would say. It's Episode 281. Stevie's not getting up, if you're watching, because she's having a drink. I'm gonna explain that tiny drink later. But right now, she's relaxing and having a drink.

[00:00:39] Nice. What am I drinking? Sunset List Golden Ale from the Dogfish Brewing Company in where? Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, where I just was. Well, I was in Rehoboth Beach, but then the show was in Selbyville, and I was also in Philadelphia and Maryland. And as a Midwest person, I don't even know how I did all that. There's a lot going on. I know, but it's not. These states are so tiny, they're just boom, and you're in another state. It would take you days to do that in Texas. Days, time zones, days, many, many stops.

[00:01:09] What are we? That's what I'm drinking. And I had some wonderful beers there. In the non-show. In the non-show weekend. I didn't even do a show. I tried to do a show, but Mother Nature said no. No. I've never been getting ready for a show where the TV's saying to tie down objects that might fly and kill people. And I'm like, are we really doing this? Awesome. Okay. I don't know what county I'm in, so I don't know if this tornado warning applies to me.

[00:01:38] It's the worst above the road. I love it when the front desk doesn't know what county you're in. You call down and go, what county I'm in? I don't know. Okay. Do you work here? Do you live here? Just checking. What are we eating? We have so much to cover. World Cup, we have Holly Bobby, a lot of news, a lot of tour-ons. The tour-ons are loose. I'm sure many of you have heard about some of it. But first, we're going to try Eagle Wins, W-I-N-Z Wins, Chesapeake Bay Hot Sauce.

[00:02:07] They really do, because they're the home of Old Bay, too. They do wonderful hot sauces. This is Eagle Wings. Wings. Yeah, with a G. A little typo there. Got you. Who gave you that? You did, Paddles. No, it's from your friends at the... I thought you meant the sheet. No. Oh, this is from the Freeman Arts folks. Yeah. What are their names? That's where I was supposed to be to do a show. Yeah. But I didn't, but I went over and met everybody anyway and had a blast.

[00:02:36] I could have just stayed back there and acted like we did a show. Are we good? Well, sure, I want to drink this beer. Yeah, here. Kelly, you want a beer, too? Let's have a beer. They were so nice. And I can't wait to go back. I really just had to... I had a wonderful two days. And I got in early. I went early on purpose because I knew all this shit's going to happen. And people were so excited online about the show. I'm like, I'm not going to be that person who flies in day of show and then goes, oh, I couldn't make it because Philly was a shit show. The Northeast was a shit show. It's crazy.

[00:03:05] Smoke from the fires, but then massive flooding in New York. So I've never seen... Thank you for not saying the Canadian fires. The North. Like we started it. I know. This will be fun. Trump's very mad. I've heard. I did a Zoom with a morning show at Toronto and they said that. They're like, Trump's really mad at us. But they kind of laughed. Like, dude, it's not really anyone... No. I don't know what... Don't they just happen on their own? Wildfires in Canada. Many things can happen. Wow.

[00:03:35] Hey, Kat. Did you hear that? Did you hear that, guys? She's crazy. She's completely crazy. What's the matter with her today? I had to move her litter box because there was a tiny flood in the hallway. And I have big bricks on the wood hoping it'll go back down because it's buckled. And we were litter boxes. She's not happy about that. It's not cozy enough. Change. It's too out in the open. Yeah. That's my guess. Horrible. Well, she goes over to it and just screams at me. You moved my toilet.

[00:04:05] Red Hot Bagel Chips. Franks. Yeah. These are from Rehoboth Beach, Germite's. Gabe and Jonathan. Truth be told, I've already eaten one and I loved it. Now? Now I'm just eating another. I'm starving. Nice. Mm-hmm. Why don't you eat before we do these? I don't know. Okay. Because I know I'm going to have a beer. Baby Kat. Baby Kat. Get in here. Fall asleep like normal. You're a terrible audience member. You're heckling. I see heckling. Mm.

[00:04:35] These are great. Do you see these? Red Hot Bagel Chips. Yeah. Mm-hmm. I got it. I'm sure they're not cheap either. All this stuff's so expensive. Eight dollars. I know. Don't even talk to me about jerky. Oh, they're good till October. Way to go, Frank. Love it. Nice. And one more thing. Fisher's Popcorn. From where? Ocean City Termites. Mike and Jennifer. I saw this. What the fuck? Baby Kat. Meow, meow.

[00:05:04] Do you talk to her when you're alone? I talk to her all day long. Yeah. Yeah, I talk to Kato too. Chapo doesn't care. As a cat. You talk as a cat. I talk as a cat and I use words and I make her use her words. When I say, do you want a treat? Kathleen. She has to answer. Still weird. Out loud. If she doesn't answer out loud, she's not using her words. She doesn't get a treat. Oh, wow. We have new treats, don't we? Greeny delectable type things. I'm going to buy you a flare gun. Meow. I think she wants me downstairs.

[00:05:35] That's what I think. This is very good. It's like a carmeline. Fisher's Popcorn. Got it. No, I'm good. Okay. Moving on. Show's on the road. Niagara Falls. Can't wait. The TV lady who's super fun, she told me that this smoke is, I'll be able to see Niagara Falls. Great. Yeah. Cool. Well, by Saturday. By Saturday. I'm going up early to go fishing. Nice. Where are you going? I don't know. Okay. I don't know.

[00:06:03] I'm getting a rental car and it's two hours away. Great. It's the very famous Canadian country singer and American, known in America as well, Terry Clark has a fishing cabin. Oh, fun. Yeah. She's a very serious fisher person. Is she a friend of yours? I'm more like a good time Charlie. Friend? Yeah, well, she's a friend. You sound like you paid her money to fish. Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And then I had to explain that I reel with my right hand, but I'm really left-handed, so

[00:06:32] I cast with my left hand and it all looks like I don't know how to fish, but I really do know how to fish. I just don't want to, I don't want to be mocked for my weird. That's when my dad, I was 52 years old. He goes, why are you casting like that? I go, casting like what? He goes, I don't know. It just doesn't look right. I go, well, because it's a right-handed reel. And he goes, you're left-handed? Oh my God. I'm 52. How did you not? August 8th, Portland, Maine. Lots of kids. I know.

[00:07:03] August 21 and 22, Atlantic City, the Borgata. So excited. Fun. September 11th, San Antonio. Can't wait. Right back at the Alamo. September 12th, Austin, Texas. I will be at Matt's El Rancho if anyone needs me having a margatini. Nice. September 18th, Tarrytown. 19th, Hershey. Those tickets are selling great. Thank you. Special shout out to Hershey. I thought I'd have to do a lot more work. They just bought them. Good for you. Nice. September 25th to 26th, Madison, Wisconsin, and Prior Lake, Minnesota.

[00:07:32] Those are tricky to- Basically Minneapolis. Yeah. Yeah. It's a casino. I love it. That's where I saw four bald eagles in one day. What? Out my window. That's awesome. Mm-hmm. Cool. It was the dead of winter, though. I don't know if that happens in summertime. You'd have to ask that. Okay. October 10th, the Ryman, Nashville. Come on, Nashville. Come on, Nashville. Get on it. This lazy ticket buying at the last minute. I know, because we're spoiled, and we have so many different things we can do.

[00:08:01] And this weekend, I am forfeiting Barry Manilow at the Bridgestone. Oh, you are? Yes. Well, I have to go work. I'm going working. I have to work. It'll be fun to fish, too. Yeah. I'm very excited about all of it. I'm excited about the boat ride. The boat ride. Nashville, yeah. Barry's going to be here on Saturday. Awesome. I know. Bridgestone, final show. October 16th, Hampton Beach, New Hampshire. And then the 17th, Foxwoods, the casino. Fun. In Connecticut. In Ledyard.

[00:08:31] I don't know how to say it. Ledyard. Ledyard. Ledyard. Ledyard. All right. Well, first, we're going to talk about the weekend. Well, new items. I have an Andy Reid prayer candle. He's over here. He's over here. By Spirit Airlines. Yes. I lit them. Oh, yeah. That's what Charles said. Turn around. Katie. That's a great candle. Oh, the drinks. I'm going to explain these later. I have to do this later. Okay. Later. What is Stevie drinking?

[00:08:59] I gave her like a, it's like a beachy thing with a lemon in it. And it looks like a party beach drink. It's summertime. It's 96 degrees here. You need something refreshing. Completely. Beer's too much, except for inside. Saloma. I've already planned that drink. I've got to pull this by five o'clock drink. Okay. Moving into the show.

[00:09:28] So, I'm so glad you guys liked Holly Bobby, because I love Holly Bobby. And it's not normally my thing, celebrity gossip. And that's why we bring Bobby in, because I don't even know who these people are. Right. And then if you're like me, you will learn something from Holly Bobby, and you will be up to speed. And if you already know, you're getting super inside scoop. It's very cool. Because Bobby's the king of all things. He's a king booker. He was a manager. He knows everything. And he did the tiny show forever. It was so fun to have him here. We did all the usual suspect things. We had a wonderful time.

[00:09:56] He got not too hot of weather. Not like this. Not 96. It was more like 86, which is great. Yeah. That's fun. Totally normal. Except for that thunderstorm. Well, yeah. I saw your video. Yeah. That was crazy. But they're popping up. There's supposed to be one tonight. Six o'clock. I have to be in the pool by 430. Nice. Yep. But he had a wonderful time. It was great. His segment. I'm going to try to have him back more frequently. But it's when he can get to Nashville. And now he's working again for Jennifer Hudson.

[00:10:26] And he has to be there some of the days of the week. I don't know. He's going to be very busy. But we learned how. We'll see if it works. To patch Bobby in through all the equipment rather than me holding the phone. I've been very busy. I know. It was kind of low rent. But it's all we could do. It also sounded on the head. And that's how this podcast keeps going. We just build on little things. Look at all this shit. Yeah. That I didn't have four years ago. I know. Not that I really.

[00:10:55] You're upstairs. This is how any guy who works on the house then realizes, oh, I know who you are. And I'm like, damn. If I didn't have that podcast thing, I just would have been this lady in this house. You got Taylor Swift that has an Alexa. I know. I have to put him away when the kids are here. Or any visitors. They scare the shit out of people at nighttime. Oh, I'm sure. Yeah. Yeah. And then, so he'll be every week on the phone. But we'll try to get him here more often in person.

[00:11:24] And then we'll just write it off as a show expense. Yeah. That's right. Selbyville. Loved it. Flew to Philly. Drove. I wanted to see Rehoboth Beach. I've always heard about it. I never saw it. Adorable. It's pretty, isn't it? And then went down to, yeah. It's all awesome. Then went down to Oceanside, Maryland. Ocean City. Ocean City. I know. I keep getting it. And I called the Delaware Shore. The Shore people went crazy. Listen, I'm not an East Coast. I would normally say beach.

[00:11:53] But then I go to the East Coast and I'm corrected into shore. I don't know. Whatever. That's Jersey. I know. I didn't know that. My brother got married. Speaking of brothers, too, I would like to congratulate my brother, Joe, for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. I've been corrected. It's not Kilimanjaro, as I used to think. And then when he got down from the mountain, he sent us all very nice texts that were over very nice. Like, not our normal way we speak to one another.

[00:12:23] Sappy texts? I couldn't breathe and I thought of you. Borderline. Right. I thought I was having a heart attack and thought of all of you. And he said he had a lot of thoughts on the mountain. I'm like, that's why you don't go up the mountain. You don't need to hear those thoughts, whatever they were. I can have less of those thoughts and remain on my couch. But he did it. I mean, it's amazeable. What would your thoughts be on the mountain? It would start with, why the fuck did I do this? What is the matter with me? What am I trying to prove?

[00:12:53] I mean, but mine would not be positive. No. No, because I would be not comfortable. Right. It's like a 50-mile walk to the mountain. Once you're in the- Before you climb it? Yeah. Oh, God. Yeah. Wow. So, Freeman Arts, I'm coming back. It's just a matter of when. We'll get it figured out. So sorry to disappoint everyone. I was also disappointed. And I had Kelly McFarland. That was another joy of the weekend. I got to spend time with a friend. Kelly's great. We went to this bar called Rope Port.

[00:13:23] It was the largest golf screen, well, largest TV screen I've ever seen. I think it's called Rope Side. Oh. I don't think so. I think so. Giggle it. Okay. I think it was called Rope Port. Rope Walk. Rope Walk. I don't know. Rope Walk. Rope something. Yeah. It was a wonderful bar. I'm looking at it. Yeah. I had an oyster shooter. I had some local beers. But it's the largest outdoor TV screen I've ever seen in my life. Ever, ever, ever.

[00:13:53] Aside from maybe Vegas. And it had the British Open on. I mean, it just couldn't. Oh, awesome. And it's on an inlet. So you get all the marsh. And it was just. And then I went to one called the Rusty Rudder. That was super fun, too. Fun. And all the people in their pontoon boats. It was just a wonderful. I could see why people head right down there when they're off. I would. Video of the lady with the inner tube. I mean, come on. Oh, going to the beach. And Kelly was like, that's an amateur.

[00:14:22] You fill those inner tubes up when you get there. You don't fill them up at home and then drive down the highway at 75 miles an hour. And these things are going. On the top of the roof. And it was a tiny. I thought there'd be like 100 kids in the car. She's bringing the party by herself. Yeah. She was alone. Fun. Yeah. That's hilarious. So we're going to move on before we call. Holly Bobby, I have some mail that always makes me laugh from you guys. This is Vamos versus Vamanos.

[00:14:52] Dear Kathleen, I enjoyed this. This is from Tim and Julie. I enjoyed this podcast with Holly Bobby. I was perplexed with the correct usage of Vamos and Vamanos until I suddenly recalled the great Dora Explorer, the song lyric. Come on, Vamanos. Everybody, let's go. Settled. I'm like, okay. Thank you, Julie, from West Michigan. This is hilarious. That's great. Could we just get somebody that speaks Spanish to weigh in on this? Because I don't believe anything on the internet. And there's too many different.

[00:15:22] Google? Julie, I'm sure you gave it a white person's try. I'm assuming. I don't know. Maybe you're not Spanish speaking, though, because you're getting your Spanish from Dora. Yep. So maybe somebody. Just the thought. Do Spanish people watch Dora? That's a question. I don't know. Like, is it a cartoon in Mexico, let's say? Yeah. But like, wouldn't it be irritating that she's teaching us all Spanish and you already know

[00:15:50] Spanish and it's like for non-speaking Spanish people? No, I think you'd be happy. No, I think it's in Spanish down there. So then they flip it. Oh. Subtitles on the cartoon. Come on, Pat. Let's make our children read before they can. This is very funny, too. This is from Chris. Chris, after her shit halftime show at the World Cup, my wife and I tried to determine if there was one song from Madonna that we considered a, quote, good song.

[00:16:18] So I pulled up her 50 greatest hits from Spotify. One of the 50, none came close to meeting that standard, but the algorithm did tell me that I also might like a playlist called Gay Music Video Night. Well, Chris, did you try it? It's probably great. How'd you feel about it? Speaking of the World Cup, it was the most boring game and the British Open was terribly boring.

[00:16:44] I'm very glad that guy Ryan Fox won, though, because he plays fast and he's 39 years old and he's just cool compared to a lot of the douchey douchebag golfers. But it was boring. I just, there's a lot of controversy saying something was done and something was said. And I'm going to talk about it later, but if you go watch the FIFA four hour documentary thing, it's four episodes. Netflix. Yep. They are so corrupt. And the way that, I'm not, I don't really, I love Messi and Argentina.

[00:17:14] The game I saw was the most fun thing I've ever done in my life, sporting-wise. But it just didn't seem right. I mean, no one was playing correct. No one was shooting at the goal. Zero shots. It's crazy. In a hundred minutes. Yeah. And then you see him beforehand. Now all these videos are leaking out. They're crying in the locker room beforehand. And Messi's saying, just get it out of your head. Stay calm. Let's just go play. Clearly something was done. Yeah.

[00:17:43] And then Messi at the end completely ignores the new head of FIFA, who is also just corrupt in front of your face. Right. They don't even hide it anymore. No. Doesn't give a shit. I thought in the movie they'd be like, oh, this guy turned it all around. And now we're an honest, kind of honest, kind of. No. No. It's a, and to them, this is all a private family matter. Nobody gives a shit. I just, you really, if you're any kind of sports fan, you don't have to be a soccer fan. Go watch the FIFA. If it was about tennis, I'd watch it.

[00:18:12] Like, and I'm not the biggest tennis person, but I mean, what kind of, pick a sport I don't know. NASCAR. I don't know anything about it. I don't, pro basketball, not really. NASCAR. What's that you love? Shut up. Mick Henley, my friend who passed away, had the greatest NASCAR joke ever. He goes, there is nothing crazier than listening to NASCAR on the radio when callers call in. Because they just call and go, eight, and hang up.

[00:18:42] That's Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s number. Eight. They just yell out car numbers. That's their sports talk on NASCAR. And then Jeff Foxworthy had a great joke. You know you're a redneck if you have a Dale Jr. in your family and there's no Dale Senior. Totally true. I know. It's called FIFA Uncovered. FIFA Uncovered. I mean, so there was rumors about Argentina money laundering through Miami banks. Maybe they brought the hammer down on that.

[00:19:11] Maybe they said there's FBI or there's ice coming in here. Something happened. Yeah. It wasn't just a locker room fight. The whole team went dead. Then they ignore everybody at the end. Nobody's playing. Like, it was weird. And everybody said that. Like, it wasn't like, oh, a game that you just lost three to two. Messi, in the practice beforehand, he's kicking penalty shots and he missed them all. Right. I mean, what?

[00:19:40] No, I don't know. It's going to come out. You think so? I do. I think it's going to take time. But I think it's slow. Today, the leaks are just incredible. Just in a day. Well, two days, technically, I suppose. But it's crazy. Here's another one that this is nice. I'm a 72-year-old female termite. I was a huge Vicky Carr fan, starting with seeing her in the Unsinkable Molly Brown. Yes, a musical. I've heard all of her albums. I attended many of her concerts.

[00:20:09] You put the biggest smile on my face when you talked about her. I didn't think I would ever hear anybody utter her name before I died. You know, another thing about Vicky Carr, too. She really liked performing and all that, and she quit to go take care of her husband with Alzheimer's. Oh, that's awesome. Awesome. Yeah. I think they live in San Antonio. She loved hearing the story. She's so great. She has a ticket to see me in November in Marietta. She said, I'm having a few health issues but hopes to be there. Well, I hope you're too there, Marty. That'd be great.

[00:20:38] I'm glad you like my Vicky Carr story. I only tell it about once every 10 years because no one seems to care. Or know who she is. Well, nobody knows who she is. But the point of it is her throwout of the heckler. It doesn't matter if you know. It's just the confidence. I love you, baby. Throw him out. And if it's quite all right, I need you, baby. She did not miss a step or a beat. And they've got some super-ass security in Atlantic City, almost like giant goon guys.

[00:21:08] And I say that in a positive way. There were six goons on that man in five seconds, and he never is going to see. He's never going to be in that casino again. He doesn't know it yet. But wait until they take you in the room for a tiny meeting. She fucking heckled our headliner. Boom. There'll be no sister casinos either. Nope. Nope. Unfortunately, we're associated with a lot of properties you may have heard of. MGM.

[00:21:36] So this is informative. It's from Tina. Okay. Believe me when I say I'm not on Team Markle, but I did want to add to the security conversation. Harry is perfectly willing, so he says, to pay for his own security in Great Britain. The problem is due to strict gun laws in the UK, he would not be able to hire armed guards, which, based on People's Strong's feeling about him and his wife, is at least arguably necessary. In the UK, he must have a person of international importance status.

[00:22:06] This would be president's prime minister. Tay-Tay got it. Yes. Yep. The Pope. That's right. High-ranking members of the royal family from around the world. Harry was analyzed by the UK government. He no longer meets the standard of a person of international importance. People. Importance. Your people have spoken. If he did meet that standard, he wouldn't have to pay for his own security to be automatically provided. He sued to get an exception that would allow him to hire his own security. He lost. I hope that helps.

[00:22:34] Now, moving on to Kilimanjaro, because we are not staying dumb. It's one of the few places in the world where you can experience five different biomes in one place. A biome is an area, I didn't know this, where the local flora and fauna develop naturally in a specific area. See, I would look at that. I would look at the local flora and fauna and go, where am I? What have I done with my money? So as you climb, the biomes change. The first and lowest biome is cultivation level.

[00:23:04] There's a lava one. The last is arctic level, ice level. This is a glacial level, which is permanently frozen. Peace, love, and cocktails for all. Oh, signed, a wormite. A wordy termite. Oh, I like it. It was educational. We're not staying dumb. No. We're learning things. No. Biomes. This made me laugh, and then I'll stop. There were so many because Holly Bobby is great. Good evening. I like someone who starts in. It's from Terry. Good evening.

[00:23:34] Since Holly Bobby had to skedaddle, that also made me laugh. I love it. I thought I'd jump in to offer an assist. Zoe Kravitz is indeed the daughter of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet, Denise on The Cosby Show. Margaret Qualley is the daughter of Annie McDonald. McDowell. I love Annie. And widely considered snubbed for her lack of an Oscar nomination for The Substance. Never heard of it.

[00:24:01] Cara Delevingne is a model and an actress with Selena. Oh, she's in that show Only Murders with Selena Gomez, not Demi Lovato. I don't even know who I'm on a talk show with. I know. I'm like, who are these people? Who's making a salad? What's going on? You have coffee or beer? Yeah. Is that liquor cart coming back? I saw it go that way. The liquor cart. They used to have one at the Tonight Show. What? Oh, yeah.

[00:24:30] It was like an airplane liquor cart. Stop it. No, she'd stop at your dressing room and say it was a little old lady. Yeah. Can I get you a cocktail? Oh, my God. And then, yeah, sure. Gigi Hadid is also a famous model. Both she and Cara have famous sisters. Oh, bonus? Terry has bonus information, so we're not staying dumb. John Legend is also another EGOT winner. And we learned that EGOT means Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony. Hope this helped. Oh, she's a nurse. Cool.

[00:25:00] Yeah. Awesome. Anybody out there send me free Z-packs? It's hard to get a Z-pack on the road. This is funny. Before we go to Holly Bobby, this is called the Modern Dog Company on Instagram. Okay. They post things. They dog sit. Okay. And these are texts that they've received from the owners while they're dog sitting. So great.

[00:25:25] If he brings you the blue elephant, you have to act surprised every time. Every single time. You think I'm crazy because I talked to Baby Cat. Oh, she's looking at you right now. She's under the table now. She's finally settled down. Okay. Before we go to updates, we're going to. So the World Cup, the final game was the most disappointing.

[00:25:54] I almost want to tell World Cup people is watch all the games before the finals because I just think, I think they did it to Diego Maradona too. I think when they decide. Do you believe it's fixed? Yeah. Like those little Egyptian boys you were telling me about? Yeah. FIFA is corrupt. FIFA is corrupt. I'm like, I know we all saw the documentary. Simmer down my little pharaoh. Simmer down. Well, he flew from Cairo. We don't know. He could live here. We don't know. You sent me a picture. I don't think they live here.

[00:26:24] Well, I don't know where he lives, but he was very upset. And I understand it. I don't know. Yes. I think some of it is fixed. I think the winner is fixed. You think so? I think there were all these rumors started by who? Fucking Ronaldo that the Argentinians were this and that, all these bad things, and that it was fixed for them. So I think FIFA flipped it to look like it wasn't fixed for them.

[00:26:53] And then as a result, it now looks fixed. Clearly. Well, they should have let them at least play. Yeah. No shots on goal. I know. Come on. Messi's just walking. I mean, I know he walks a lot anyway, but he didn't. He never attacked for the ball. They knew. They knew. DraftKings was heckling me the whole time. I know. I know. I know. Horrible. Just saying. All right. But I do like that little Spanish guy and his brother. I like the little Spanish and his three-year-old brother.

[00:27:22] I'm not blaming any of the players. That kid's adorable. The players have nothing to do with any of this. No. No. I really don't think so. I think it's just that bald guy, whatever his name is, the new one. Rufus. He did it. He's called Rufus. There's a lot going on we don't know about. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. But you at least have to give us a good final. Imagine if you're one of those people, all the tickets were fucking $10,000 and shit. And if you paid all that. And you had to get out to MetLife Stadium.

[00:27:51] You could still get into the game I went to. I saw my friend Tony from Delta just on the street. And he was like, I'm like, Tony? Like, I only see him in the Delta lounge. And he was like, Kalei, what are you doing? I go, what are you doing here? He goes, oh, my niece goes to college here, and I might go by myself to the game. So I was hunting for a ticket for him. Like, to that game, you could have got, if you waited to the very end, so you'd have to kind of be in Atlanta. You could have. I found tickets for $450. I was shooting him texts saying, go here, go here, go here, go here.

[00:28:21] I don't think he went. One of the ladies in Delta lounge said he ended up not going. But I'm saying you could have gotten in for $450 if you had a single ticket. So two tickets together probably would have been $8,000 to $1,200. But these ones for the final, I mean. Insane. And then you just see a horrible game. And it gives soccer a bad name. That's what this FIFA guy doesn't get either. Right. There are all kinds of people that don't like soccer. They think it's boring and too slow. I know you were one of them.

[00:28:50] Well, the flopping. Well, the flopping is, they've curved that with penalties. But. I have a jersey now. Right. No more flopping. I know. The flopping's so out of hand. I mean, Chris Pronger, a St. Louis Blue, was hit in the chest with a puck and died and kept skating. His heart stopped. He was dead. Hockey's a mess. He was dead for five seconds. But his skates were still going, so he's still going. And then, pong. He falls on the ice. You know, everybody comes out there like doing the. He was dead.

[00:29:19] That guy still skated on. Yeah. The soccer people. Oh, you hurt my shin. There's a lot of that. There's a lot of Crybaby Ranch. They're really good acrobatically. Yeah. They know how to flop. They know how to flop. Like. All right. Let's call Holly Bobby because we have a lot to talk about. Little Holly Bobby. Holly Bobby.

[00:29:50] Good morning. Hi. How are you? I was going to say. Can you hear me okay? Yeah. Can you hear us okay? Oh, good. I can hear you loud and clear. Holly Bobby, you got rave reviews. Five stars. So try to be on your five-star behavior today so you don't ruin your reputation. Okay. Tell us what is going on. We didn't get to the Emmys last week because we got sidetracked with so many fun stories. Oh, right. Right. Well, okay.

[00:30:19] So there's two categories. Well, there's a bunch of different categories for Emmy Awards. There's Daytime, which I got nominated for last week. Thank you very much. Oh, Holly Bobby. Yay. Thank you. Thank you. And there's Primetime Emmy Awards. And those are like, you know, like things you see on the streamers, like television series, limited series, you know, movies that are on the streamers and the networks and the cable network. So that's all TV. Does it mean nighttime only? Yeah.

[00:30:48] It's called the Primetime Emmys. So that's like, you know, Law and Order, SVU, or Baby Reindeer, or, you know, all of our shows that we talk about. Okay. Netflix. Cool. Okay. But then, like, the cooking shows on Netflix and the lifestyle shows and stuff like that and the daytime talk shows like Jennifer Hudson and Drew Barrymore and Kelly Clarkson, they're all Daytime Emmy Awards. That's kind of bullshit, though, because, like, Kelly Clarkson's show gets better ratings than Jimmy Fallon.

[00:31:17] I didn't say that. I said it. So why shouldn't she be on a nighttime show? Well, she could qualify for The Voice on the Primetime Emmys, and The Voice got nominated. But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about her show. The one you were nominated for. You guys shouldn't get regulated. What time does this event actually happen in real life? What time do you have to be there? You have to be there? Well, because it's on. It's so funny you say that.

[00:31:46] Now, this is all coming a realization for me. So the Daytime Emmy Awards, they're usually broadcast on CBS at 8 o'clock at night, live Eastern time. And we all have to be there at 4 o'clock. Oh, God. It's live tapey. And it's not live? It is live. It's live on the East Coast. Oh, because of the East Coast. Oh, 4 o'clock. So you got to get ready like at 2? Yes. Oh. Horrible.

[00:32:14] But, you know, for me, I just throw on a tux and I go, I don't put any makeup on or shit, you know? I throw on a tux. It's just right there. Well, wait a second. So can you, do they, do they let you drink? Beforehand. And here's the key. You ask for two glasses of wine right when you get there. Because they are going to shut that bar down. That's what they're going to need. And there's going to be no booze at the table.

[00:32:44] Horrible. And then, is there food? Limited. Oh. It's like, it's crudité and like hummus. It's just like nothing filling. So you need to pre-eat. You need to pre-eat. Like the Oscars. I mean, you went to the Oscars. No, I'll never. I wouldn't go again if I was nominated. I wouldn't go. Even if they told me I won. I'm like, I'm fucking never going. That was the most boring night of my life. Aside things that I had to do in college. Well, okay. All right. So boring.

[00:33:14] You know who did get nominated for a daytime Emmy? Who's that? This year. Your girlfriend, Miss Meghan Markle. Oh, shut up. I saw that. Oh, my God. It is so bought and paid for. How do the Emmys not even realize you just ruined your own reputation? The show that canceled. It got the worst reviews on earth. And you're saying it's, you can buy, you know, you can submit. Like, my publicist, Katie, submits my thing. Like, my specials or whatever. Your movie.

[00:33:43] My tiny movie that my friend, all my friends made. But anyway, like, anybody can submit if you meet, you know, is it shot in 4K? They ask you those things. And then I think she just sent over a million dollars or something. I send no money. And I refuse to participate in campaigns. So whatever. Whatever. What do I care if I get an Emmy? It's just another piece of shit up here in the top. Hey, Holly Bobby has a cutest house.

[00:34:12] No, I mean, it's just more stuff. I'm trying to purge my house of things. The only thing I'm keeping is my basketball trophy from age 12-year-old girls. And I won the hoop shoot contest of the Midwest. Kathleen, you were standing in front of a yard sale. I know. I just was saying. I have so much stuff. Just stuff. Anyway, no, I mean, it's good for your resume and, like, for your job, Bob. You want to be the Emmy nominee on those Emmy because it means you're doing a great job.

[00:34:41] But for me, it doesn't really hold the same weight at all. It's just, hey, Kathleen, your movie was hilarious. You know what I'd like to do today? What's that? You're talking about purging stuff from your house. I'd like to purge my house guests. You better watch your mouth there, Bobby. You better watch what you're saying. You don't know who's listening. Do you want to talk about that anymore? No, that's an offline conversation. Welcome to therapy.

[00:35:13] Okay, well. Termites don't care. Drink early. So do you think, Megan, okay, who is, what shows would be against Megan's, quote, lifestyle show? What else would be considered, let's say? Oh, shit, I have to pull that up on the computer. It's probably, like, Ina Garten. It's, like, a lifestyle show. So, like, Ina Garten. Martha Stewart. Yeah, like a Martha Stewart show. Well, I have an article. Another queen. I have an article, but I just wrote Holly Bob on it, so I figured you would know.

[00:35:42] But here, I'll tell you. Okay, here's, she's going to face off against these shows. A different breed. B-R-E-E-D. Like, is that a dog show? I hope so. Probably. There's one called George to the Rescue. Like the monkey, George? George, George, George of the Jungle. Yeah. He can be. The Motherhood. And then. What's that? I don't know. And then there's another one. I do like the idea of this. The Wizard of Paws.

[00:36:13] Oh, he's on the show. He's great. The Wizard of Paws. He's great. That host is so, he's adorable. What's the show about? He, like, helps dogs that, like, you know, like, that need a new foot or, like, you know, that have been, like, injured. All right. Well, I'm going to go watch that. Oh, he's really cute. So, you don't think they'll let her win, right? Well, here's the thing. It's like, I think that she got nominated because they want big-time celebrities to show up.

[00:36:41] So, I mean, and it's her first nomination, she said, on social media. So, I think she's totally into it. But, I mean, so, if she promises to show up, they promise to give it to her? It's like FIFA. No, the Emmys don't work that way. No, the Emmys don't work that way. Well. It's legit. It's legit. The American Comedy Awards acted that way. No one's stealing any elections at the Emmy Awards, okay?

[00:37:10] Well, I think contributions will probably help your... How much money does the Wizard of Paws have? Derek is his name. He has a company called Bionic Pets. Oh. Yeah. Oh, that's cool. You should watch it. Okay, no, I will. They make prosthetics for animals. I love prosthetics. You know, it sounds... Cool.

[00:37:35] It can sound ridiculous, but for years, I did free shows for Tony La Russa, who was the coach and manager of the Cardinals for a long time, and the A's and all that. Baseball guy. He has a foundation called ARF, Animal Rescue Foundation. I've never seen a guy so passionate about any one thing in my life. Like, he just... He has one in St. Louis and one out in Oakland. But he's like, wait... He's so excited. He's like, wait till you come up. He goes, you're coming to the facility before the show, right? I go, yeah, sure.

[00:38:05] I was going to come super early. I want to see the dogs. He had wheelchairs for back legs. They built... So if a dog somehow got hit by a car and its back legs were done forever, they put these little... It looks like chariot racing at the racetrack. And it was adorable. So... And then you look at that dog and you're like, oh, that dog's still happy. Yeah. Like... Yeah. Yeah. There was no reason to... Like, in my parents' age, you'd just, you know, kill it. But anyway. Well, they would.

[00:38:33] I mean, and then they'd lie and say it went to a farm. It was all a big lie. Where'd the dog go? Oh, my God. Remember the farm? Jesus Christ. The farm. I'm like, we don't even... Right. We don't even know anybody with a farm. What are you talking about it went to a farm? We found one. On the board. Yeah. Just because it bit the builder one day didn't mean... All right. So, now, will you be attending these Emmys? Yes. I will.

[00:39:03] You might see her. Until October. I guess. I might see her. And you know what I'll do? I'll ask her for a photo. And I'll send it to you. Okay. For the shows. Wow. Do you think she'll bring Harry? Yeah, probably. Right? What's he doing? I mean... Nothing. He said he's the Prince of England. He said he's the Prince of England. There is no Prince of England. He doesn't even know his own title. No. No.

[00:39:30] That guy, they always said he was a little dim. He's been watching a lot of Disney. He... And he's a brat on top of being kind of dumb. Yeah. Like, dude, if you're dumb, you gotta be nice. Yeah. Like, you can't do... I mean, look at William and Kate and how they were at Wimbledon and they were so classy and the kids were well-behaved. Yeah. They're totally into their job. They totally like it. They know what their... They know what their duty is. Right. And they do it well. They do it well.

[00:40:00] And they are the Disney prince and princess. Right. But they also know how to act. And they're not grifters and they're not influencers. Blah, blah. All right. Now, Bobby, you have one other subject we need to talk about because I'm so excited. You asked me about this about JonBenet Ramsey movie. And, you know, with Melissa McCarthy and Clive Owen. And remember, they are both Emmy... I mean, she's an Emmy Award winner. People forget that.

[00:40:26] But she's also a two-time Oscar nominee for comedy, for Bridesmaids, and for drama. And she can do it. I mean... I love her. This is probably... Yeah. This is probably one of those roles of a lifetime, I think, playing Patsy Ramsey. That's cool. And yeah, I think so. And so it's going to be on Netflix. And this is the 30th. I mean, this is... You know, this is what's so sad. I mean, you know, we're talking about a dead kid. You know what I mean? There's nothing funny about that. Right.

[00:40:53] You know, but I mean, this is like the 30th anniversary of that murder. And the movie's coming out. It's a limited series on Netflix. And I... Yeah, it's been 30 years, right? It's insane. When will this be out? I still can't. And well, she was murdered on Christmas. So it's coming out in the winter, fourth quarter. They don't have an exact date yet, but it'll be out in the fourth quarter of 2026. Wow. Okay. To coincide with the anniversary of the murder. Well, I love Clive Owen, and I love Melissa McCarthy. So it should be...

[00:41:22] And I've always thought the case... You know, I have a lot of Denver comedian friends, and they used to go up and do the father's Christmas party. Yeah. So, you know, he was... Before the murders? Yes. Before the murders? Yes. Okay. Yes. Get weird if it was after. And I'm not gonna... We're all past this. He had some corporation, and he'd have, you know, like a corporate Christmas party. All the comedians have to do those. Well, I won't do them anymore, but you used to. I used to.

[00:41:49] And they all did them for... Because they're in Denver, you just... He was in Aspen or Vail. I forget. Like, right up there. I think they're in Boulder. Boulder. Right. Yeah. And I'm not gonna say what the Denver comics think happened, but they have... Because it's hearsay? Well, I don't want to get sued or nothing, but... It's all... I'm just gonna say... It's all a rumor. Somebody in the family drank way too much a lot.

[00:42:19] And that could have been an accidental killing. Oh. That's just... I don't know. Always trust the comedians. We know what's going on. We got the secret scoop because we're the observers. We're not part of the party with a name tag on that says, Hi, I'm Kathleen from St. Louis, and I'm hammered. I love it when people do that at corporate events. They get so shit-faced that they have a giant badge on that says, Bob from Omaha. Bob, you're gonna regret that tomorrow. You should take that badge off right now.

[00:42:49] Hey, Bob. Well, that's very exciting. All right. Is there any other Hollywood news that I should be... Well... Do you want to talk about Madonna and the halftime show? Your idol? In a minute. But here's the other thing too. I wanted to... I don't know if you saw this because I woke up to this like a People Magazine alert. Oh. But did you see that Aaron Rodgers reconciled with his family? I did, and I don't trust him. I think he wants something. Yep. What's he want from them? I don't know. Maybe a reality show? I don't know. I do not trust anything that man does.

[00:43:19] You heard it here first. It would make sense because his brother was The Bachelor. Mm-hmm. Oh, I forgot about that. Oh, yeah. That's why you get mad at him. Oh, great. Yeah. I don't know why he's mad at the parents. Ten years, and what about this wife? Did she come that no one's ever seen? I don't think so. I didn't see any pictures of the wife. I just saw the brother and the parents. Me too. Yeah. Separate photos. Me too. Yeah. I mean, it's adorable if there's actually... I just... There's nothing... I've never heard him speak a word of truth. Okay.

[00:43:49] Everything that comes out of Aaron Rodgers' mouth is bullshit. And if he's reconciling, does that include his new fake wife? Well, no. You said fake, Paddles. You're going to be in the lawsuit. I don't care. I'm not. I didn't say fake. It is a fake. It's a fake wife. I think he's made it up to get people off his back. Yeah. Yeah. Just be single. You're fine. He said she hates publicity. Yeah. Okay. She marries you. You're a sociopath. God. I did see your people alert as well, Bob. Go back to the darkness. Okay.

[00:44:19] But I don't trust that. And I think... Yeah. I feel bad for Pittsburgh fans because Aaron Rodgers doesn't have... It's... Stop. He's done. We need a 21-year-old, not a 42-year-old. Yeah. I agree. I agree. It's like... I mean, that's like... That's like... You know, how... He's 42 and that's like 82 in Rod Stewart and Barry Manilow years. Right. Right. And football. Yes. Your grandpa, grandpa. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Get... Sit down.

[00:44:49] Barry Manilow is here on Saturday night, Bob, and I have to go to my... I have to go to work in Canada. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. He's at the Bridgestone. It's his final road show in Nashville, Tennessee ever. I know. Well, we'll try to come see him in Palm Springs. We can hang out at the grocery store and we can watch for him and take a picture with him. Come on. Yes. Do it. Well, yeah. Well, I want to be in the picture. When is he coming to Palm Springs? He was here in December. Oh.

[00:45:17] Like, over the holidays and we didn't go because we were out of town. Oh, we were out of town because Clark's dad died. I forgot about that. Yeah. That's sad. Anyway. Anyway, but Madonna, speaking of performers, Madonna, I thought she did a great job. Oh, my God. I thought that Justin Bieber brought the energy down. Oh, my God. It was horrible. Oh, my God. And I was like, wait, why are you – I'm on our family thread. We're all like going, oh, my God. We were having like such a good time watching everybody. It's buzzkill.

[00:45:47] We're going to start fine. Bouncing around. Buzzkill. Yeah. Okay. I – well, these last performances I've seen in the last couple years of Justin Bieber, and I don't even understand why he was popular to begin with. I know he was. I'm not saying there's not a reason. He's wonderful. Oh, stop. Be careful, Kathleen. I know. Yes. Well, I just – it's truly because I haven't listened to it. I love that one song. Your mama don't like – my mama don't like you. And she likes everyone. That's a really good thing.

[00:46:16] Young people should listen to that. Yeah. Because it's true. It's a PSA. It's usually true. It's a – here's how I feel about Justin Bieber when he performs recently. I want to say, do you know you're not in your house? Yeah. Like, I – like, he's in his underwear at the Grammys, and this thing walking around the stadium playing this acoustic downer – it's a nice song, but not for the occasion. Right. It was such a buzzkill. Yeah. His voice is great.

[00:46:46] I get – He's a great – he's great. He's great. He's wonderful. But I feel like he's like – I feel like he's on edibles, and he had a guitar, and he just walked out, and there happened to be all these people here, and he's just going to sing his little song and leave. Like, what the fuck was that? Well – Especially when my preferred performer out of the entire thing brought it A-plus Shakira. A-plus. A-fucking-plus. Your little hero, Madonna, that was weird, Bob. Yeah.

[00:47:16] That was like an AI – what was that? And then – It's a weird start. Music makes a bourgeois thing come together. I like that song. Yeah. I do, too. But it's not – it's not like a prayer. No, but it's like music brings the people together. Yeah, I understand, because we're at the World Cup. You know what's 50,000 times better?

[00:47:42] You take your ass out to the center of the field, and you sing like a prayer, and you bring every single black choir in the Northeast with you, and make them sing it, and then you do your Catholic goth stuff that brings people together. And then you light a cross on fire. Yeah. And then – No. No, you can't light it anymore. That's what I'm saying. It's crazy. Especially after Justin, we can't light a cross. That's a Jesus song he was singing. They say, I don't know. Catholic people don't know those things.

[00:48:12] I don't understand. I thought hallelujah meant amen, or does it mean Jesus? Google it. Oh, God. Oh, I'm not going down that rabbit hole. All right. All right. We don't go down that rabbit hole. We'll let the termites tell us. I don't understand a K-pop band when there's only like two Asian teams in the entire World Cup. Because they have to be represented Kathleen. It's BTS. I mean, oh, how about this? How about this? None of them got paid. I know. What? Yeah. They took a stipend. They took a lot of publicity. FIFA is corrupt.

[00:48:42] See? FIFA is corrupt. They probably threatened all their families. Exactly. And then they handed him an envelope with $75 for gas and food. Here's your per diem. Here's your stipend. Well, actually, you get two envelopes because technically you had to come to rehearsal. So here's $150 cash. K-pop man gets a couple. This is the thing, too. And I better get back to work.

[00:49:05] But the other thing, too, is like I was wondering, how do they get all these superstars and the presidents of Canada and Mexico and the United States and Tom Cruise and Madonna and all those celebrities in the stands? How do they get out of the stadium? I mean, that's... Helicopters, Bobby? Jetpacks. Really? I don't know. I don't know. No, I think they wait. I think there's a tunnel. So they leave at halftime. So Madonna's done.

[00:49:35] She's out. No one else is leaving. It's perfect. Go in the tunnel. No. The Tom Cruise thing. I do not understand why anyone takes that man seriously. That was like a Scientology ad. I don't even... What the fuck was... I don't need a pep talk. No. I'm six years old. If you have something to say, say it. What was all that? It was just... It was gobbledygook. Like, cliches and... What was that? What was the point? Well, I can't comment on it. No, you can't. I didn't watch it. No.

[00:50:05] I didn't watch it. Oh. Oh. We'll send it to you. Jennifer Hudson, by the way, and we can end on this. She nailed the national anthem. No complaints. No shitty comments. No. A lot of people agreed with me on Tom Cruise. It was just cheesy for no reason. Here's the thing, Tom. I think you're a wonderful action guy. Like, all those action... I don't watch them, but I know people... My brother likes them. My brothers like them. Blah, blah, blah. Mission Impossible. Blah, blah, blah.

[00:50:33] But you're not Nicole Kidman, and I think you want to be Nicole. Yeah. Your wife is winning Oscars and Emmys like it's candy. And... It's not the wife. She is available again. That was two wives ago. That was like five wives ago. Well, it was a hundred wives ago. But I think he thinks he wants to be taken seriously as an actor. I get very frustrated with people in this lifetime. Do what you do. Be who you are. Stop trying to be something else. It's never going to work.

[00:51:01] Well, he's got a good shot at an Oscar this year because his upcoming new movie in October is supposed to be fantastic. Okay. Well, I'm always open to 15th chances. Sure. Sure. Sure. Let's see another one at a time. I know they did all the makeup. He looks like an old man. Well, yeah. Yeah. I saw the trailer too. But let's go. Okay. Let's go see it in October. And then I'll try to get out and see the Odyssey on IMAX. I'm going to go try to see it next week. I am not home this week. I'm going to go next week. Okay. All right.

[00:51:31] Next week. Let's try to go see it because everyone is raving about it. Okay. I'm not a moviegoer, but I do love an IMAX. Mm-hmm. Okay. All right. All right, Bobby. All right. Stay cool out there. Stay cool, Holly Bobby. Bye, Coddles. Bye, Kathy. Bye. We love you. Adios. Yeah, threw in some Spanish there. Yeah, it was good. Thank you. Good job. Okay. I thought the halftime show was a shit show.

[00:51:59] Parts were good, and then it went off the rails, and then what is that? None of it made sense. No. It just tried to fit as many superstars as they could in 30 minutes, and none of them are connected. There's nothing cohesive, and maybe it doesn't have to be. Maybe you're just like a comic who does one-liners, and there's no segues. There's no transitions. That's fine. Well, when they started with the Madonna thing, and it was all pre-taped, that part. Yeah, it was weird. I thought we were going to go into another Super Bowl thing. Yeah, I know. Remember where Bad Bunny's dancing around, and anybody who's in the stadium's like, what is going on?

[00:52:28] Well, at home, I didn't know what was going on. I'm like, why is he in a cornfield? Is that corn? I know, but if you're in the stadium sitting in your seat watching it, it's like you're watching a movie set. Yeah. You have no idea. It's all the AI and all that's gotten too out of hand. Update! We're moving on. I'm so, so, so tired of the Nancy Guthrie story, but for Nancy's sake, I'm going to keep it going. Oh, good.

[00:52:56] The FBI agents now say that the ransom notes were all fake. All of them? I can't. I can't believe you can go capture an 84-year-old lady whose daughter is famous, kill her. She's clearly dead. Her and Mitch McConnell. Can we talk about that for just one second? I know what, this isn't politics. No. This is... Accountability. What the fuck? Andy Beshear, Kentucky.

[00:53:26] Hey, man. You're a governor. Governor. Go say, I want to see Mitch. And he needs to prove... Does he believe the AI photo where Mitch is in a pink polo shirt, like a button down? I think Andy's got advisors. I know. His main campaign focus is James Garville. Way too old. Oh, God. Way too outdated. Oh, no. You are with the Clinton era. You're done. You're done. The Bill Clinton era. As the Tourette's girl says on her show. You're done. You're done.

[00:53:55] Bill Clinton, not Hillary. Sold. Right. You're going back to Bill. Yeah. I don't understand. This is why I don't think about these things too hard, because there's a million things that we're not being told that I don't understand. Why is Andy Beshear not asking for proof of life? And I don't mean an AI photo you submitted that is clearly AI. I mean, her, Elaine Chao, the wife, her arms cut off. I mean, his fingers, I mean, whatever.

[00:54:25] His hand is the wrong size. But I do not understand how in Tucson, I can just go capture an 84-year-old, kill her on purpose or by accident, whatever. She's most likely dead. And nobody can figure it out. Nope. Nope. Sorry. And they keep finding other bodies in the desert. I mean, how many people have been killed in Tucson we never found? It's crazy. There's a lot going on in Tucson. I don't think we know about it. Well, I like Tucson because it's a little sketchy. Phoenix and Scottsdale, no longer sketchy.

[00:54:55] They're refined. They're perfect. They're, you know, well, not perfect, but they're fancy. Tucson still has that rugged element that I do like, but I don't like that there's a police department that's completely inept. No. Every Tuesday, they're like, well, we found another body. Four hours later, nah, it's not Nancy. Nope. Well, who's that? What is going on out here? No shit. Horrible. Update.

[00:55:24] It's almost the end of climbing season. I will not keep boring you guys with my Everest updates, but this is a big deal. For 30 years, there's been a guy, they figured it was a dude because of his size, called Green Boots, and his body's been up there, and they never could figure out who it was. Well, this year, because of everything with the weather, it got warm enough, they were able to reach where he was. He was an Indian climber. He died in 1996.

[00:55:56] He died in 1996. His name was T. He died in 1996. It was a lethal expedition of its own, so they just leave him, which I would, too. And you know what? This is what he wanted to do. Yeah. Just let him rest on Mount Everest, if that's your favorite place. Your family's got to be cool with that, though. The family was. Okay. They were fine. Whew.

[00:56:24] So, they finally, it's just, I've heard about this Green Boots guy forever, and they finally identified him. Cool. And his family's very happy for closure, so they say. Nice. Oh, that was a Holly Bobby story. That's all my updates. I don't, there's not many. That's okay. Yeah, there's not many. I do have a few, holy shits, they found it, though, that are very exciting. Great. Deep in the Congolese. Oh, you got to start it properly. Holy shit, they found it. Yeah, you got to.

[00:56:51] I love finding animals, because it gives me hope in Bigfoot and Loch Ness. There's a monkey. It's the craziest, and it's not a tiny monkey. He's a medium monkey, I'd say. Deep in the Congolese rainforest, scientists discovered a new species of monkey dubbed Likweli. Okay. L-I-K-W-E-L-I. The monkey is so elusive, even local communities knew little of its existence.

[00:57:16] The first sighting of the Likweli monkeys came in 2008 on a research expedition down the waterway, which, it's a very, very strange-looking monkey. You would know it's not a normal monkey. This thing, it's got spiked hair, like, it looks like it's been electrocuted. He has no nose, pretty eyes. Okay. And a sad face. Oh. Then, there was a spat of sightings in 2018 that gave researchers an inkling that they had

[00:57:46] something unusual, and they launched a dedicated project to find a species in the rainforest via foot patrols. Oh. Holy shit. The Congo is enormous, too. And they found him. So we'll put a picture in the notes if you want to see. That's great. It's a crazy-looking thing. Yeah. Good luck to Likweli. Thank God for scientists. I know. Thank God for the conservation people that are out there doing their thing. Here's another one. This is the saddest-looking monkey I've ever seen in my life.

[00:58:15] This is the Vanzolini's Saki, a rare Amazon monkey. It has gone unseen alive for 80 years. Okay. Boom. But with trail cams and everything else, they found it again in the rainforest. He looks sad. He looks like, oh gosh, there's some, not an elf. Well, go look at him. He's super furry. Okay. He doesn't even look like a monkey.

[00:58:41] He looks like a, I don't know, nothing that I've ever seen. His eyes look, his face kind of looks like a monkey, but he's really thick fur, which is weird. Mm-hmm. They found it again in the rainforest. 80 years. That's crazy. I know. Thank God for trail cams, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm going to save those. That's a good one. Let's save it. This is just kind of fun.

[00:59:09] I didn't know they existed. While in the hunt for a rare yellow king penguin, the photographer stumbled upon an even rarer sight, a melanastic black king penguin. He's all black. Cool. Yeah. Nice. I'm surprised they live, though, because usually if you stand out like that, you're the first one to get eaten. With its unique excess of melanin, this penguin flaunts an all-black coat with a stunning metallic green sheen instead of the usual yellow markings.

[00:59:37] Melanism in penguins is incredibly rare, making this a truly remarkable discovery. Witnessing the dark-feathered penguin emerge from the ocean and blend into the colony was a rare mode of nature's diversity. With the gold and black king penguin, it's now documented. The search for the new extraordinary variation continues. That's awesome. It's very exciting. He's really pretty. Yeah. He's awesome looking. Okay. Moving on to news. Summer news. Summer news. Oh. We have seasonal news now.

[01:00:06] Well, these things are particularly active in the zone. Okay. So, in Europe, the equivalent to Southwest is Ryanair. Uh-huh. It's almost worse. I would say worse. Than Southwest? Yeah. Like, at one point, they were thinking about charging for the bathroom. Like, 25 cents. Okay. To use the toilet on. I mean, even Southwest hasn't done that yet. Charging for toilets? Yeah. Okay.

[01:00:31] Ryanair was forced to make an emergency landing in Greece on Friday after a window on the Boeing 737 dislodge after takeoff. A man got sucked out of the window half of his body. Thank God it was a bigger dude. Because if it had been me or a child, I'm out. I can fit probably through that window. A kid certainly can. Yeah.

[01:01:00] He was almost sucked out of the plane after the glass shattered. Oh, God. Ugh. A passenger told State Radio that she heard a noise that sounded like a tire bursting and people started screaming because of the cabin decompression. The head and the shoulders of one of the... Not that a man's outside. Right. I can't breathe. That dude is getting wind burnt like you can't fucking believe. The head and shoulders of one of the passengers were outside of the window.

[01:01:29] You know... It's crazy. It's like... Oh, there was a flight not long ago where the door flew off. Like, what? You know what's weird is that doesn't happen in cars. No. Like, you never... It was like, yeah, I was driving to Wisconsin and my door flew off. What? No. No. Maintenance is going downhill. We have a tour on. I'm sure everyone's seen him. It's the old guy in Yellowstone and they're thinking about...

[01:01:58] You know what? You know what? This grandpa guy that got thrown eight feet in the air and it broke his femur and this and that. He said, oh, he didn't seem agitated. Yeah, he did. Yeah. The thing was rolling around in the dirt, kicking the dirt, like... Yeah. Like... And you kept filming. Right. I don't think they were abnormally close. No. But too close for that day with that animal. Mm-hmm. And then they're going to think about shooting the bison. Oh. I know. No.

[01:02:28] I say no. Can't do that. No. If I was a Yellowstone National Park person, I'd be in prison if I worked there. Yeah. Because of people doing... This kind of stuff. Yeah. Mm-hmm. It just doesn't end. It's ridiculous. I'm sure they can't wait for, like, fall. Yeah. If you work in the park. Mm-hmm. To just go, please tell me there's not 4,000 people at the gate today. Because then I got to keep track of these people. Mm-hmm. Oh, my God. Or the winter. How great is the winter there? Ugh. Here's a story.

[01:02:57] Here's a story. Here's a story. Infamous killer elephant stalks family and murders four members 14 years apart. What? A killer elephant. Wow. He's like Jaws in Jaws 3. He specifically is mad at one family. What happened? He's killed a lot of people, though. So here's the thing. He has a long memory, and that's the thing. Elephants are- Oh, yeah. True.

[01:03:27] A notorious rogue Nepalese elephant has stalked resident Shanachara Bote for years, killing four of his family members 14 years apart. That's insane. That's crazy. Including two, even after they moved miles away to try to escape the homicidal elephant. Homicidal. So this guy's nightmare began in 2012, when Durhebi, the- Herbie? Okay.

[01:03:56] An infamous killer elephant whose human death toll is now up to 25. He's killed 25 people. Fatally trampled the man's parents in the Nepalese town of Maddy near Chitwan National Park. God. The grief-stricken son packed up and moved himself and the rest of the family to safety, settling upon his new household nine miles away, across a river.

[01:04:20] Earlier this month, the elephant tracked down the family and burst into their home, killing- He killed the guy's daughter-in-law. Oh, my God. And his four-year-old grandson, Bharat Bote. We believe that moving across major rivers would keep us safe, but after all these years, the exact same elephant found us again, raided our home, and took my daughter-in-law and little grandson. He left us nowhere to run. The elephant has a long history of fatal misdeeds and has reportedly killed two dozen people since 2010.

[01:04:50] Prior to this incident, he's claimed 23 lives. With the latest two casualties, it's now risen to 25. We've been utilizing a tracking collar to monitor his movements. Wow. They set out to kill him in 2012, but he got away. That's crazy. He resurfaced in 2016, was fitted with a new tracking collar in 2020 after the original one stopped working. But a third was put on place.

[01:05:16] His ping thing goes off every hour, but it has not succeeded in him. That's insane. I've never heard that. Can you imagine? You move nine miles across rivers and all this crap, and then one day you just hear, brrrr! And he's... You look out at your kitchen and like... And he's coming. And he's coming in, and nobody can stop it. No. Jesus. Wow. Here's something you'll like, Paddles. It's crazy. You're going to love this. Uh-huh.

[01:05:45] Idaho is searching for volunteer police officers to carry out state executions by a firing squad so eight death row inmates can be put to death. Yeah. Yeah. They've already been sentenced. You have to be an ex-cop. Mm-hmm. Why? Um... Why? I don't know. Mm... I don't know. They're a good shot. Well, so are a lot of people. True.

[01:06:14] So, there you go. If you're an ex-cop, I don't know about retired, doesn't say, I don't know. If you need a gig and you think you can do it, I don't think I could do it. Well, I could... Depends on who it was. Yeah. That's always a question. People that say they want the death penalty, but okay, but would you be able to pull the lever? Well, you gotta... Depends on who it is? Give me all the evidence. And you don't know the guy or girl.

[01:06:44] I'm too Catholic. Well, I'm Catholic too. I know, but you're meaner. Meaner? Oh my God. I would just think, the Ten Commandments told me not to kill. I can't do it. I know it's gonna cost money to feed him and he might get some pleasure, but I've always... My solution is, and always has been and always will be, it's up to the families. It shouldn't be up to a judge or a jury or any bullshit.

[01:07:11] Once he or she is found guilty, ask the family. Okay. What would you like to do with this convicted person that killed your loved one? Why? I should have no say so in this. Some random judge shouldn't get to decide. It's bullshit. And you might luck out and get a super duper Christian family that says, we don't believe in the death penalty. Just let him be in jail. You might get you. I don't care. He's gotta go. Boom. You might get somebody on the fence like me. I'm always like Libra in the middle.

[01:07:40] Well, nobody wants to listen to my bullshit. Okay. I just don't... I know... I don't know, and then I think if it's John Wayne Gacy or somebody like super horrible Ted Bundy, could I do it? I just don't think it's... Well... This is too hard of a conversation for a fun podcast. Yeah. Well, people have strong feelings either which way. Mine or me. Yeah. Mine always count on Libra to go, the actual problem we're talking about is the judges. The judges.

[01:08:10] Because they're deciding the sentence. Or a jury. The jury doesn't decide. They just decide guilt or innocent. Oh, right, right, right, right, right. That's how America works. I don't know what goes on in Canada. Well... Same thing? Do you... I don't know. Do you even have the death penalty? Hang on. I don't know if we do anymore. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I don't know. Oh, my God. Oh, nope. Abolished in 98. Well, there you go.

[01:08:40] There's no decisions to be made. That makes it easy. All remaining references to the death penalty have been removed from the National Defense Act. Luca Magnata? That little psycho who killed that poor boy? I mean, seriously. That's what I'm talking about. There are people like that... It's up to the guy, the Thai guy family. He's a Thai... He's from Thailand. The Thai guy's family should get to decide what happens to Luca Magnata. That's fair. Mexico doesn't have it either. If you care about that.

[01:09:09] Kind of. See, also. It's called the cartel. It's called the cartel. Just taking matters into their own hands. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, any retired cops looking for a gig? Don't say... This is a place to find jobs, too, this whole podcast. Here's two people I could do without. God. This is summer bullshit. And really, it goes to the heart of the problem. Security. A pair of kissing daredevils scaled the Empire State Building.

[01:09:39] 1,455-foot antenna for a cringe Instagram stunt. She's 33. He's 32. There are a couple. Apparently, there's a show about them on Netflix. Skywalkers. I'm not watching it. I watched that other one with that idiot climbing the building. I mean, that idiot. It's just, I don't get it. I feel like we're all just waiting for them to fall. I don't want to watch somebody die. Right. But my thing is, when you see all the equipment these two had, how did you get through security? How did you get access?

[01:10:09] What is going on with the Louvre, these national, international, famous things? And, you know, people are just walking, hey, let's fucking climb it today. Okay. Right? Right. Let's go. And then they hung a sign about love. Right. But then people were really funny with the memes. I was going to say, I was kind of fun. Hey, I took over. Oh, he proposed to her up there too. And then she flaunted the ring. I mean, they're Russian. What?

[01:10:39] How did, I just don't understand security at like giant tourist things. Right. Whether it's an art museum or a monument. What if you fall off? You're going to kill somebody on the ground. Probably. They don't even care. And then yourself. Right. That's what I'm saying. They don't care. They're selfish. Very selfish. Let's do a little sports news. Okay. These are brief. Wait, hold on. FIFA is corrupt. FIFA is corrupt.

[01:11:07] Seattle Seahawks owner, and he died, and they all had agreed to sell it. If you want to buy a team right now, apparently the going rate is 9.6 billion. Wow. Yep. Yep. Paul Allen, he died. And then I think his sister sold it. But it's the highest price ever yet. The Denver Broncos were sold in 2022 for 4.6 billion. So, yeah. That's a lot of money. Tis.

[01:11:36] It won't stop, though. I mean, you'll still make money. Yeah. There's another one. Hold on. I can't wait to go. Well, I don't even need the. Here it is. Here's the story. But LeBron. I'm not the biggest NBA person. Like, I like the finals, and I like the. I like it when we've narrowed it down a little bit. I'm not a season watcher. And I didn't grow up with a team in St. Louis. So, I feel like we got. I don't know.

[01:12:03] I just never got attached to it because I never watched it because we didn't have a team. Okay. Well, we used to have a team. They are now what the St. Louis had, the St. Louis Hawks, and they became the Atlanta Hawks. I didn't know you had a team. I don't. St. Louis does not have a good track record keeping teams. No. No. We don't. No. No. LeBron is leaving the Lakers. And then there was rumors he was going to go to Cleveland. But Cleveland had saved a spot for his kid. And I think we all know the narrative on Bronny.

[01:12:33] It's, yeah. But now they're talking about, Google the latest on where's LeBron. Oh, oh, oh, Sacramento. Yeah. He's going to play with Stephen Curry. Yeah. You know what I say? Steve Curry, the coach, kind of insinuated that. No, he's going to play with Steph Curry. Right. Yeah. You're 41. How old is LeBron? Can you Google that?

[01:13:03] Golden State. 41. It'll be 42 in December. Not interested. No. Sorry. And you're real bossy. And you make a lot of, you're super bossy. You're not like taking Shaq. No. Shaq is a get along, easy breezy. Happy dude. Happy man. He's a Capricorn. Just LeBron. I don't know what Shaq is. Oh, but he's happy. Maybe he's a Pisces. Pisces are happy. Maybe. Maybe.

[01:13:34] Here's another one that would freak you the fuck out in summertime. Torrential rains bring devastating floods to a Chinese city in a snake invasion. Oh, God. And like half of them are cobras. Oh, my God. Yep. And then they're showing the people in the river catching them by hand. Or they have like a bluegill net, like a fishing net. And they're like scooping them out. And then the things going ape shit in the net. What are they going to do with them? It sounds like the script of a low-budget horror movie, a community besieged by hundreds of snakes.

[01:14:04] But in Hangzhou, the southern city, Chinese city of one million residents, floodwaters have brought terrifying, the terrifying reality to their doorsteps. 900 snakes, many of them venomous, are loose after typhoon Masak swept through the region causing flooding that has so far killed 39 people, according to state media. One woman died after being bitten by a cobra, suspected to have escaped one of the flood reptile farms. Why are we growing cobras? What are we doing?

[01:14:34] You need them for something? I don't know enough about this. In China? Nightmarish videos posted by concerned residents have shown serpents paddling through the streets, raising their heads comfortably above floodwaters like venomous periscopes. Oh, the description. Well written, whoever wrote this. I'll tell you who wrote this. Sylvia Zhang. Sure, I said that wrong.

[01:14:58] Chinese authorities initially played down the threat, but they're now issuing warnings for villagers to stay clear of their slithery new rivals as they mobilize snake catchers, boost anti-venom stocks, and prepare hospital workers for potential influx of snake bites. God. They're not the only animals that were on the loose. Two zebras, one humpback ox, three miniature horses, and two donkeys. They also escaped. They got floated out too. Oh my God. Jesus. I can't even imagine.

[01:15:27] No, the people are picking them up with their hands. Oh, no. All right. I would like to say to CNBC, you people suck. They have the 10 worst states to live in, and I own something in both two out of the 10. I pay taxes. And I am happy as a clam.

[01:15:51] I like my little lake house in Nashville, and I like my little lake place in the Ozarks in Missouri. So after they collected data from all 50 states. Okay. Tennessee is the worst. Wow. According to them. Yeah. They base it on, oh my gosh, that's crazy. It's based on quality of life.

[01:16:17] The study put Tennessee's quality of life at 64 out of 100, scoring a grade F. It said the volunteer strength was air quality and weakness were crime. The weaknesses were crime, inclusiveness, and worker protection. They're mad because we don't have more transgender bathrooms. What? Well, I mean, I'll go in any bathroom, all bathrooms. We can all go. You can go. I can go. I don't care. Tennessee, have you not been to Dollywood? Have you guys not been to Graceland? Broadway. Have you not been to Broadway?

[01:16:47] Have you not been to all the historical places in Memphis? Right. Does Memphis have some crime? Yeah. It does. Be careful. Keep an eye out. Don't walk around with your damn headphones on. No. Pay attention. Go Vols. Beale Street. I like the music on Beale Street better than I like it on Broadway. Oh, no. I like funk and pop better. Sorry. Yeah. Nashville. What's not fun about Nashville? Let's keep moving down the road. Knoxville. What's wrong with Knoxville? Right. It's a wonderful college town.

[01:17:16] Chattanooga is where I would choose to live, except Nashville has a better airport because Chattanooga is not quite so found out. It's a wonderful state. It's wonderful. Well, I wouldn't know anything about this. Availability of child care is poor. I don't know. I don't have any. Inclusiveness of state laws. I guess. They're upset about that. Okay. Oh, there's a new bathroom law. I had no idea.

[01:17:46] I'm not even going to get into that. It's too controversial. Here's the worst states. Tennessee, Texas, Indiana's third, Louisiana four, five and six didn't print out. I love Louisiana. I love it, too. Missouri is seventh worst than Alabama. Have you been to Huntsville? Have you played golf at the ledges? No, you haven't. Oklahoma, Arkansas.

[01:18:12] That's according to CNBC, who clearly they don't ever leave New York and understand. The joy of Arkansas, which is lost on me because I don't really care, is the mountain biking, mountain climbing, the Ozark Mountains down there. They keep getting bigger and bigger. As you go down south of Missouri, the Ozark Mountains get bigger and bigger. Arkansas is beautiful. And they should advertise themselves as get outdoors, come here, and make it a giant camping for all the people that are into all that.

[01:18:40] They got a lot of space, and they need more tourists, and that's how you get it. The Augusta Chronicle is real mad that Georgia's on it. Real mad. Hang on, I'll tell you. Tennessee, Texas, Indiana, Georgia, and Louisiana are tied. Utah, Missouri, Alabama, Oklahoma, Arkansas. What's wrong with Utah? I don't know. They hate it. CNBC, get out of New York right now and then go around somewhere. Get outside.

[01:19:11] Here's something I've never done. A lucky traveler wins 3.3 million jackpot on Wheel of Fortune slot machine at the Harry Reid in the Vegas airport. Oh my God. You know, I always play at the airport because I'm usually early because I'm a weirdo like that. I'm an early person. I don't want to ever cut it to the wire. And then I gamble. And then I think, well, what if I hit it like a jackpot because I'm playing quarters? If it's like over $1,200, you'd have to wait for the cash payout, and then I'll miss my flight.

[01:19:39] I never thought about what if I win 3.3 million. I've never in a thousand years seen anybody hit Wheel of Fortune, Wheel of Fortune, Wheel of Fortune. That's what you need for the big jackpot. Can you imagine that? Not even on a spin. At the Seagates, in case you're a traveler and you want to know, he was at the Seagate gambling area. Is that the good one? Well, it was for this guy. He placed a $10 bet.

[01:20:07] So he had 10 bucks in a Wheel of Fortune machine. I love Wheel of Fortune. It's so fun. While the airport slot machines are known for having tighter payouts in the mega resorts on the strip, it does. That's another reason because I always think you're not going to win because they know you're trapped and they're not going to loosen the machines. True. But this is my gambling addict. Didn't you say, though, that they have to prove that the machines pay out a certain amount? Yes, they do. The Nevada Gambling Commission will come and make sure that you are doing that.

[01:20:33] But it doesn't mean you don't make it as tight to the other casinos will say, hey, loosen them up to this amount and pay out more. OK. Everyone has to meet the minimum. But but let's just say you're you're a tight tight wide and you just say, well, we're only going to do that then the minimum. Right. Period. It's not versus Harris will say, loosen them, loosen them. You know, somebody on the strip who wants to compete. I'm going to. There's one another thing about Missouri.

[01:21:02] One little thing to brag about where I am from. Old Town Donuts won Best Donuts in America title for the second year in a row. And trust me, it's worth it. And it's in North County. Ferguson, Florissant. Oh, if you want to go. That's right. OK. You got to go. I got to go. No, we got to go. I know. I want to go. I love it. My dad used to get up early just to go get the good stuff because they'd all be gone. OK.

[01:21:33] Lead singer of the village people died. Sad times. Yeah. What character was he? Victor Willis. He had a short, aggressive. He was the lead singer. I don't know. Oh, he was a cop or he was a cop or the naval officer. You know, I was like 40 and then somebody told me they were gay. I'm like, really? Oh, my God. Never even thought about it. I just thought, I don't know. I liked them. And they're spirited. They're very spirited with their costumes. Yeah. Good for you. I liked it. Good for you.

[01:22:03] I did not get my Spanish sentence in this week because I was gone way longer than I thought because of whatever. But we will get into that. And my grammar rules. We're not staying dumb. But this week, we're going to stay a little dumb. FIFA is corrupt. La FIFA. FIFA is corrupt. It corrupta. That's what it is. I'm going to do my feel good story and then we're going to do saints and a couple quotes. And then I'll pick up on the rest next week. This is a great story. La FIFA is corrupta. Corrupa. What?

[01:22:32] La FIFA is corrupta. Okay, there we learned some Spanish. Yeah. La FIFA is corrupta. Es corrupta. Es corrupta. La FIFA is corrupta. Corrupa. Corrupta. Corrupta. Yeah. Oh, I got an email. Way to go. Okay, this lady, Anne, because I always bitch about Mark Zuckerberg and Oprah and these people that are buying all of Hawaii, Larry Ellison, billionaires.

[01:23:02] This is a wonderful story. I had no idea. Is this a feel good story? It's a feel good story. Wonderful. So I'm going to sound a little like Paul Harvey here, the old guy that used to be on the radio, so bear with it. But it's worth it. Nice. This story's worth the reveal. Nice. She was born in Hawaii and grew up feeling like a stranger in it. Her name was Beth. Her sisters were Judy and Susan. A seamstress named Ruth, raising three girls in a Navy housing track in Aiea, I guess, had

[01:23:30] named all of them after Hollywood stars she would never meet. Judy Garland, Susan Hayward, and Betty Davis. So that's who she named her daughters after. The dream Ruth carried was all the way from New Jersey to the block near Pearl Harbor where her husband, Fred, painted walls for the military. The dream did not fit the neighborhood and neither did the girl. It's really hard to explain how alienated I felt. Nobody looked like me. Nobody's parents talk like mine. She was the only white kid in her class. She was marked absent for Jewish holidays.

[01:24:02] She grew up, in her own words, as an alien. And I'm going to skip some of this. But she goes on to win a Grammy, a Tony, and an Oscar. She played for sold-out arenas all over the world. And then in 2000, with no cameras and no announcement, she bought 1,400 acres of Kauai, old sugar land

[01:24:28] above Kapa, I don't know, a plantation. She paid $4 million. Then she did what nobody does. She gave it all back. Oh, my God. Cool. She went further in 2025 and bought another 87 acres around there, carved out plots, and let the locals buy a plot of their own. Oh, that's awesome. Hold on.

[01:24:59] She's 80 years old today. Do you want to guess who it was? Well. Well, I said Judy, Suzanne, or Susan. Judy, Susan, or Bette? Bette. Midler. Midler. Cool. There's your feel-good story. That's awesome. Good for her. That's great. Yeah, because all the other billionaires, she's not a billionaire, I wouldn't imagine, but all the other multimillionaires are buying everything.

[01:25:26] And then I got some thank yous. Then we're going to do our saints and our quote. Well, everything, the Freeman Arts Pavilion, they made me a wonderful gift basket.

But I'm like, well, I would have let her. Yeah. But I don't know the rules. I don't know. She gave me, look, I didn't even know what this was. I opened up this box, and I'm like, it's the punch-out tool for your window.

How about a little something from Cher? Jesus.

[01:30:52] This is great, especially how old they are now. Cher said, this is from 2018, she wrote it on Twitter. I loved it when she was more active on Twitter, but Twitter, ugh. Yeah. It's just become kind of whatever. I don't know. Become ex. Boo. I know. And it's just kind of, everybody's kind of angry on there. Okay, that hurt. Yeah. It hurt. This is 2018. Some guy said to me, don't you think you're too old to sing rock and roll? I said, well, you better check with Mick Jagger.

And then the room they give me has the greatest view of any room ever on the road I've ever been in. Really? Yeah. It's like floor to ceiling windows. And you can see all of Niagara Falls, even at night when it turns, when they light it up in different colors. That's great. Yeah. I don't really need to leave the room. I could just sit there.

I don't know. I try to ignore it and just read in the back of the car or something and just go, okay. Or sometimes I just sit in the front and annoy the driver. Okay. Yeah, that's fun for me. It's probably not that fun for him. No. It's all right. When this weird lady's like, can I sit up front with you? Yeah. You care? Yeah. You care?
