Episode 289: The Alamo’s Haunted Hotel Bar, Letters From Nuns & Toasting Dolly Parton International Airport

[00:00:12] [SPEAKER_03] Termites, welcome. Welcome. Welcome to Episode 289. That's crazy. Termites, I know I was testing the mic. Clearing my throat. Yes. Well, here we are. Baby Cat, are you settled? Meow. She's pacing. She'll settle. Yeah, she did not last night at four in the morning. No, it was playtime. Oh. Hi. Where is she? Right. [00:00:42] [SPEAKER_03] You're staring at me. Oh. Don't hit me. I can't do it. What are we drinking? Well, such a big weekend in Texas. I'm gonna tell you all about that, but no, they wore me out. Texas wore me out in a great way. It was so much fun. The Austin Lager. Pretty plain and simple coming at you. It's a very delicious. I had some backstage. It's a company in Dripping Springs, Texas. I've never heard of that. Sounds romantic. Yes. From New Braunfels, Texas. Termites Cameron and Krista. So, cheers to that. [00:01:10] [SPEAKER_03] But, um, Dripping Springs. I had a fun amount of alcohol in Texas. Well, between margatinis, which is a margarita martini. Oh, good. Uh, the beers. What do we taste it? How about a Cheez-It flavored, um, Chili Cheese Dog Cheez-Its? Ooh, I don't know about that. This is from, uh, Chicago to write Jennifer. Uh, I, I already ate one. Oh, you did? [00:01:40] [SPEAKER_03] I'm not a Chili Cheese Dog person, though. Okay. I'm either Chili or the hot dog. I don't like them mixed up. Baby cat. Shredding your couch. Shredding the couch. Jesus. Um. What'd you do to her? These are as advertised. If you like a Chili Cheese Dog, you will love these Cheez-Its. Okay. Not my thing. It's a texture thing for me. I like to keep them separate. I don't, yeah, I don't want to make, I don't. [00:02:04] [SPEAKER_03] Meaning on a hot dog. It's a texture thing. Yes. Okay. I don't want chili on my hot dog. I love chili, but it can't be on my hot dog. Uh-uh. Thanks for clarifying. There's a lot of cities that really go all in. Um, how about some jalapeno cheese curls? What could, hers, H-E-R-R-S. How much did this bag cost? Let's see. See, they don't want the prices on anymore. They're such bastards. These are good till December 21st. I'll be damned. No price on here. Just. [00:02:32] [SPEAKER_03] Probably in white. Little tiny white. No, I don't even think they have to by law. No? I don't think so. You should. Well, they don't. You just walk up in the gas station and roll the dice. Um, these are from San Antonio, Terminal, Ellen. As advertised. They sound fresh. They're great. Mm-hmm. They're super great. Um, it's right in with San Antonio. Cool. [00:02:57] [SPEAKER_03] Oh, I've been baked with real cheese. Five stars. Oh, and hers jalapeno poppers. It tastes like, um. A jalapeno puff. A cheese puff. But, well, I guess they would call it cheese curl. But jalapeno. Delicious. Nice. Five stars. Last one. Cheetos. What a. Oh, it's Cheez-It. That flavored smart food popcorn from Plano, Texas. Oh, Plano, Texas. That's where they're going to get the new arena. [00:03:26] [SPEAKER_03] I think that's where those are made, too. Oh, yeah. Well, here. I could check. Probably. If they're not going to lie about it. They won't say how much this costs, but it's from Termites Eric and Miguel. Let's see. Oh. Five stars. This probably cost them $12. $12. But it's 80 calories a cup. 80 calories a cup. It's delicious. Nice. I like that smart, uh, that smart food, their popcorn's great. [00:03:55] [SPEAKER_03] Mm-hmm. And I love that they went in with Cheetos. Good deal. Match made in heaven. Nice. Shows. I gotta find my pen. Hold on. I got a lot of shit up here today. This weekend, Tarrytown. Oh, that'll be fun. Hershey. Super fun. And then next weekend, September 25th, 26th is Madison, Wisconsin, and, um, Prior Lake, Minnesota, which is the casino. [00:04:21] [SPEAKER_03] Super fun. Um, October 10th, Nashville, the Ryman. Let's go, Nashville. There's some balcony seats left. Go get them. Mm-hmm. They just released some tickets on the bottom. There's something at the Ryman every night. Mm-hmm. Crazy. I don't know who books it, but that's gotta be a headache. Um, then October 16th, 17th, Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, and, uh, Foxwoods Casino. At the Hampton Beach Wellroom, my friend Dax is gonna be there with Cheap Trick. Oh, nice. [00:04:47] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah, he's also gonna be in Huntington. I'll be there much later on, but it's fun when we do the same venues, because then I can leave stuff behind as little notes for him and little, little evil things with a beer. Evil things. Uh, October 22nd, Mayetta, Kansas, Prairie Band, Band, Band, Casino. October 24th, Charlestown, West Virginia, Hollywood Casino. November 6th, Spartanburg. And November 7th, Charleston. There are two shows in Charleston. Yee-haw. [00:05:15] [SPEAKER_03] And, um, then the 2027 dates are all on sale. And we've added second shows in Fort Lauderdale, St. Pete, Huntington, and Napa. And then there's another new show being added. Oh, next week. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Mm-hmm. Another being bullied. I'm telling you. I don't mind the early show, but, I mean, I always have fun, and people, I think if everybody goes and has mimosas. Yeah, explain your 4 o'clock show idea. I like it. [00:05:44] [SPEAKER_03] Okay, so I resisted a 4 o'clock show, because I think, would I want to go to a 4 o'clock show? But I honestly have really never considered it, because usually it's not an option. Right. Here's how I think the day goes. Okay. This is how my day would go. [00:05:55] [SPEAKER_04] If you're seeing you at 4? [00:05:56] [SPEAKER_03] I'm seeing anybody at 4. Everybody. It's a show. Uh-huh. Whatever. It's going to be an hour, 45-minute show, maybe two hours. Okay. Okay. So, mimosas with brunch with friends around 1. 1. Well, it's a 2 o'clock, 2-hour brunch ordeal. Okay. So, you'd had a few drinks, so you pretend like it's nighttime, but it's daytime. [00:06:20] [SPEAKER_05] Mm-hmm. [00:06:20] [SPEAKER_03] Then you go to the venue, get over there about 3.30. Okay. You'll be done by 6. You go home. Mm-hmm. Go home by 6.30, probably. Take a half-hour nap. Okay. Boom, it's 7. Get back in your pajamas and start streaming your favorite shows. Nice. It's a whole—it's like three days in one. I like it. That might be a 45-minute nap, 7.15. [00:06:40] [SPEAKER_02] Yeah. [00:06:40] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah. I'm just saying it could work that way. Mm-hmm. So, these early shows sell faster than the late shows. And when I say late, I mean eight. We're all getting old. But it's not just me. It's not just old people. No, I checked with the youngsters in the clubs. They want it, too. They're trying to get the clubs to go to, like, 5 and 7. [00:06:56] [SPEAKER_05] Really? [00:06:57] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah. Wow. I don't think the young people, gen whatever they are, Z, they're not big drinkers. Mm-hmm. They seem to be more edible people. Weed people. Mm-hmm. And I think they're just chill, and they don't need to be out at night, like in a bar. True. Yeah. Yep. There's—alcohol sales are way down because of that group. It's your guys' fault. It's not my group. Four o'clock shows are your fault. That's right. You guys are so tired. [00:07:26] [SPEAKER_03] We gotta do it as an opportunity. Oh, my God. What a weekend in Texas. San Antonio, I cannot say enough about— [00:07:33] Mm-hmm. [00:07:33] [SPEAKER_03] Everybody always says go to Austin because Austin seems to be the hipster place. If you're a history person, San Antonio wins out by a million. The architecture, it's like you can go partially to Mexico, but you didn't even have to cross a border. Right. It's just the architecture's great. The Alamo, as everybody knows, I could spend hours there, me and Aaron. Aaron Weber was the opening act people were asking because they liked him a lot. Aaron, A-A-R-O-N, Weber. Mm-hmm. [00:08:01] [SPEAKER_03] And he's a history person, and he was like, I don't know, it just didn't seem as big as I thought it was going to be. I said, well, did you go into the chapel and then the corridors? Well, no, I didn't go in all that. [00:08:12] Well, you can't— [00:08:13] [SPEAKER_03] That's the Alamo. Yeah, that's the Alamo. Those old ladies, the daughters of the Republic of Texas, say like five city black. Yeah, that was cool. I might be exaggerating that, but I don't know. I can't tell. It's very big. You can walk around—they have people shooting cannons? Yeah. I mean, I don't—I don't know. Maybe Aaron was tired. Did they have the people that are dressed up? Aaron was tired because Southwest lost his luggage, and it never made it to Texas. What? Well, that's the problem when we go on the road because we go from city to city to city. It's hard for it to catch up to us. [00:08:42] [SPEAKER_03] It's just easier to send it back to my goddamn house and pretend like none of this shit happened. Send it home. Yeah. And then I said, you can wear what you have on stage. And he was like, well, I might go get some clothes. I said, well, do what you want, but I'm just letting you know, if you don't feel like spending the money, you look—I don't want to tell Aaron that you don't look that much different from what you will have on from what you do have on. [00:09:08] [SPEAKER_04] It's a new Carhartt shirt, can't you? [00:09:09] [SPEAKER_03] It's a different Carhartt shirt. Goddamn it, Kathleen. And there's so many things. But let's start with the Alamo. Every time I go, they have a new exhibit. It's wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Cool. And I never knew they had a cat. They have an official cat named Bella. Nice. And if you buy this medal, which I absolutely did and bought a couple more, this goes to the care and feeding of Bella. Cool. Bella is fantastic looking. Orange, black, white, multicolored long hair. [00:09:39] [SPEAKER_03] Yep. I saw her. She's pretty elusive, too. Really? She eats all the mice. She's a killer. Psychopath. Wait till you see the video. Snakes. I have. Yeah. Chopo got a snake. Yeah. [00:09:51] [SPEAKER_04] Wait, Chopo got a snake? [00:09:52] [SPEAKER_03] Yep. Brought it up. It's alive. Oh. But I caught him before he got it onto the porch because I heard him going, has muted meow, which means the psychopath is struck again and has something alive in his mouth. Gross. I even tried to help the snake get away. I think I was successful. And God knows snakes aren't my thing, but I could tell him. [00:10:13] [SPEAKER_03] God, ugh. Yeah. The official Alamo cat started in the 80s, 1980s. The first one was Miss Ruby. She protected the site from 1981 to 1986. Then there was Mistress Clara. I like it. Yes. Mistress Clara. [00:10:39] [SPEAKER_03] She was 96 to 2014. And then they found Bella here. And she keeps all the rodents out. And she greets visitors from across the globe. Nice. And it was about 175 degrees. So no one was at the Alamo. And let me tell you what, when you get to go in some of those buildings, it's awesome that there's nobody there. Right. Because I've been to the Alamo when it's been, weather's good. It's extremely crowded. Yeah. [00:11:06] [SPEAKER_03] The school kids that come, you know, it can be insane. [00:11:12] [SPEAKER_05] Yeah. [00:11:12] [SPEAKER_03] And yeah, I think I gave myself a tiny heat stroke, but that's what people... You made it to the show, though. People go, there's no difference between the dry heat and the wet. Yes, there is in the Midwest or the South. When I drink a beer, I sweat the beer away. Right. In the dry heat, like Texas, it's an internal microwave that's happening. And I don't know it until it's way too late. I'm walking around going, this is a little damn bad. Because I'm not sweating. Right. It's a dry heat. [00:11:40] [SPEAKER_03] It feels hot, like the sun is hotter, but I'm not sweating. And, you know, then you go in your hotel and the air condition's like an elephant gun. It just goes right in your head. Right. Then I sat down in the lobby and I mean a full-on fell asleep in the lobby, like a homeless person. Wow. I got a bag of souvenirs from the lobby. We're good. Like an asshole. It just... And then I got to go to this San Antonio Zoo. [00:12:08] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, I saw that. Yes. Fun. [00:12:10] [SPEAKER_03] And, well, one of the theater girls, Isabella. See, I wish I could find somebody young like Isabella. Her dad's actually in a mariachi band and his name is Pancho. It's so great. Pancho, I like it. I would like her to teach me Spanish once a week, but in person to make it fun. And then you can goof off. Yeah. [00:12:27] [SPEAKER_03] But the theater kids arranged it somehow with the zoo people that were so excited. And it is a great zoo. There's so much shade. Like, it was hot as shit. But there was still a lot of people there. But I also think Texans are a little more used to all that. Yeah. And they're like, ah, we'll go. It wasn't bad in the morning, but it cooks up later. But there's so much shade there. This little zoo... I shouldn't say little, but I said, well, I'm from St. Louis. [00:12:55] [SPEAKER_03] We have, like, one of the best zoos in the world. And one of the kids was like, yeah, we get St. Louis people here and you're all very annoying. I said, well, you have to remember, we don't have a whole lot to brag about. So you got to give us our... We got three things. We got the arch, the zoo, well, the brewery, and the cardinals. Sometimes. Not as of late. Not lately. Not lately. No. They were so nice. I got to meet Armadillos because that's what the theater kids thought of it. Isabella and those guys thought, oh, yeah. [00:13:25] [SPEAKER_03] Oh, we should tell the zoo because the marching Armadillo is on the tour poster. Yep. And I didn't think I would like them. And I really liked them. Really? There's one little guy, Winston, and he goes in a ball. It's a good name. They're super blind. Mm-hmm. But their sense of smell is good. Like, I fed them watermelon and stuff. Now if I see him on the side of the road, I'm going to be sad. Yeah. I used to just think, eh. You know. What's going on with the whole leprosy thing? You were worried about that last week. [00:13:54] [SPEAKER_03] Well, you only get leprosy if you eat them. And I would say to the guy who did my shingles, Dale, don't eat the roadkill, Dale. Stop it. Stop it. Like, you're going to get leprosy. But they have a bad rap. They eat all kinds of insects. They're helpful. Like, if you have. Problem is, they do dig so they can fuck up a yard, which apparently pisses people off. I fed hippos. That video is hilarious. I know hippos are huge, but Timothy, who would not get out of the pool. The girl. Would you? [00:14:23] [SPEAKER_03] No, it was so hot. And he weighs 6,100 pounds. For real. I mean, he finally got out. And watching him get out of the pool they had set up was just, I don't think I've ever seen an animal that massive in person. I'm sure the St. Louis Zoo has hippos, but I'm not sure I ever saw them. Or maybe they were laying low in the water. Because you can also see under the tank. And just for the record, I know a lot of people are, well, not a lot, but some people are anti-zoo. But when you see how much education they do, and these animals would not have survived in [00:14:53] [SPEAKER_03] the wild anyway, and their habitats keep getting bigger and better and more awesome, their gorilla habitat is just, it's, I don't, you can't even explain how big it is. And then there's cooling houses where they can go sit in there and hang out. Yeah. They looked, they looked hot. The gorillas didn't look like they were in a playful mood. They probably thought the same about you. Well, yeah. You look hot. Here's some more water. There's so much education. There's a butterfly exhibit. [00:15:23] [SPEAKER_03] They need to raise money, though. So I want to put a link for you Texas people. In the schnotes. In the schnotes. If you want to donate. Because it's, the city was going to give them some money. Yep. And they gave it to the Spurs. Oh. I know. They have to private fund. Because the NBA is broke. They have to private fundraise all this money. Right. Now, St. Louis, we didn't even have a problem fundraising because we had Marlon Perkins, the guy on Mutual Omaha's Wild Kingdom. And he was on the Tonight Show all the time. [00:15:53] [SPEAKER_03] He was a celebrity. We had a rock star. Mm-hmm. And then he would just say, give me some money, and people would do it. [00:15:58] [SPEAKER_02] Vomit money at him. [00:15:59] [SPEAKER_03] But yeah, this is, San Antonio's a smaller zoo, like in St. Louis's or San Diego's. And there's a preschool in there. In a zoo? In the zoo. And I thought, well, if you want to ensure that Kathleen's going to flunk everything, put me in a preschool in a zoo. Kathleen, did you solve your math problem? No, I didn't. But look at Timothy, that hippo. I think he weighs more than 6,100. What do you think? Giant teeth. I think he wants a watermelon. Is someone bringing him a cantaloupe? [00:16:29] [SPEAKER_03] What's going, I mean, I would be so distracted by all of it. But these kids were so cute, and they had them out for a little walk, and then they go back to their thing. [00:16:39] [SPEAKER_04] Maybe zookeepers. Yeah. [00:16:41] [SPEAKER_03] Cool. I met all the, there's a lot of young people that give me hope. For the future? Yeah. Nice. And I think some of them are probably on the spectrum, kind of, maybe for sure. Yeah. In a great way, though. It's like, my nephew can tell you everything you ever wanted to know about a sloth. There you go. And he's right. It's just, they get sometimes hooked on a thing. And then it becomes their thing, where I would be easily distracted from whatever the thing was. I would have to do all the things. [00:17:10] [SPEAKER_04] I saw the sloth in the video. [00:17:12] [SPEAKER_03] It looked fun. Yeah. [00:17:13] [SPEAKER_04] But I didn't realize it had giant, like, giant talent thing. [00:17:17] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah, but like, the armadillo, he's got them, too. But he kept reaching for my finger, like, holding on. Oh. It was adorable. [00:17:23] [SPEAKER_04] You've got a boyfriend. Yeah, Winston. [00:17:25] [SPEAKER_03] How cute. He's the rock star. It was just, every single thing. Me, Tiara, everybody knows that in San Antonio. It's the fun. And then there's four women that have come to a bunch of show, older ladies that are retired special ed teachers. And they came. Fun. And they had gone to Me, Tiara, and the market. There's a giant market down there, like a Mexican fun market that's totally awesome. I go every time. [00:17:48] [SPEAKER_04] I love all the Day of the Dead stuff. In San Antonio. It's so cool. [00:17:52] [SPEAKER_03] The zoo. How great. This is so culturally awesome. So they're not doing Halloween, because everybody does that. They're doing Day of the Dead. Oh, cool. And they have, like, a giant hippo statue, but he's painted like Day of the Dead. I don't know what you call those masks. Isabella said it, and I forgot. I forget what they're called. I want to say the wrestling ones, and it's not the wrestling ones. I can't even think what those are called. I'm bummed. Ask. And I stayed right on the river walk. Sugar skulls. Sugar skulls, yeah. [00:18:21] [SPEAKER_03] It's just, the whole thing is so great. It's very white. And everybody that works at that zoo is so passionate. And you think they just need some help. Like... Calavera. Calavera. Yeah. Sugar skull, I think, is for us. For white people? Do you want flour or corn tortillas? Yeah. Look at me. I think we both know the answer to that. [00:18:50] [SPEAKER_03] White people, flour. Flour. Yeah. But it's sweet, they ask. That's what we know. Just in case I developed a palate that's actually decent, like a normal human being, which I have not. [00:19:00] [SPEAKER_04] Maybe you're married to a Hispanic guy. Oh. You know better. [00:19:03] [SPEAKER_03] That's what I told Isabella. We are raised in the Midwest on things that are not Mexican food. It is called Mexican food. It is not Mexican food. Then you go get real Mexican food. I'm like, what is this shit? This is terrible. Mole sauce. But once you're taught... Where's your Velveeta? You can't just serve me that with no warning. 50 years of eating, you know, Casagallardo. That's where we would go after work. Now, and I wouldn't say... [00:19:33] [SPEAKER_03] I don't know about staying at this hotel, but the Menger Hotel, which is right by the Alamo, also the Crockett Hotel, but these are historical, haunted. I asked the bar. The bar there is so old-timey-timey, like saloon-y. It's from... In the Menger. The Menger. Is that... What did I not say right? [00:19:53] [SPEAKER_04] Or Menger. I don't know. [00:19:56] [SPEAKER_03] Men... M-E-N-G-E-R. Menger. I think I heard Menger, but whatever. 1858. It opened in 1859. Teddy Roosevelt was there. The bar looks like trapped in the 1800s. It's so great. Like a saloon-saloon. Cool. And I asked the bar. I was like, no, if the staff thinks it's haunted. And he said, yeah. And he was just a normal 20-something guy. He goes, I know it sounds crazy, but if you stay late at night, you'll hear kids in the balcony playing. Playing. [00:20:26] [SPEAKER_03] They're playing. But you gotta go in the hotel just to see how the history... Every wall has got something. I could spend hours in there. Like, here's Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Rider shit. I'm like, it's just... Wow. That's cool. Here's the Texas stuff from way back when they were the Republic of Texas and then the Alamo. And I mean, I just don't go when I went. It was too hot. You have to get up, like, early, early. [00:20:53] [SPEAKER_03] Like, get out of the hotel by 7. [00:20:57] [SPEAKER_05] Oh. [00:20:57] [SPEAKER_03] But a lot of those things aren't open till 10. Bar's not open. [00:21:00] No. [00:21:01] [SPEAKER_04] No. [00:21:01] [SPEAKER_03] Alamo's not even open till 10. Mm-hmm. [00:21:04] [SPEAKER_04] Well. [00:21:05] [SPEAKER_03] They should open earlier when it's that hot. That's not a complaint. That's a suggestion. But you gotta go in. I mean... [00:21:14] [SPEAKER_04] Senator's email. Every single... [00:21:16] [SPEAKER_03] There's so much stuff in there. You could even borderline call them hoarders. There's so much shit in that hotel. But I love every bit of it. And it gives it its character. And it's just so great. And then on to Austin. Thank God we left at night because they've got this traffic to construction. But you don't see anyone do it. Construction. Just barrel after barrel. On Highway 35. Yeah. Yeah. And I feel like every time I try to leave a town in Texas, I get boned right there again. [00:21:45] [SPEAKER_03] It should take me 10 minutes to get out of town. No. 45. And you just look at the thing. It's just red everywhere on the phone. I'm like, God damn it. But at least I did it at night. Got into Austin. And then I know I've talked a lot about this weekend, but a lot went on. A lot went on. Yeah. Aaron. The video was crazy. Aaron's in the backseat constantly. Hello. It's Southwest again. No, Aaron. They don't know. They don't know where your bags are. They don't think it ever left Nashville. Is it perfect? [00:22:15] [SPEAKER_03] And if I were you, I would tell them to just keep it in Nashville. Oh, no. They sent it on to San Antonio. We're in Austin. Yep. Okay. Well, could you send it to? Well, we'll send it to Austin. No, no, no. I'll be gone by the time you do that. Send it back to Nashville. We'll send it to Austin. They lost one of mine two weeks ago. And I said to the lady, it is an orange duffel bag. An older lady. She's like, mm-hmm. I go, like, Tennessee orange. Yeah. Like the school. Yeah. Mm-hmm. [00:22:42] [SPEAKER_03] I look on my phone, the whole, the thing was put in. Bright yellow, canary yellow duffel bag. No. No. God. That's not what it is. Damn. I think I'm speaking English. It seemed that you understood me. You're speaking English. Mm-hmm. How did, you, you, you went, oh, yeah. Like, Tennessee orange. Mm-hmm. Whatever. Tennessee canary yellow. Wow. Austin. This was the greatest thing. [00:23:09] [SPEAKER_04] I like Austin. [00:23:10] [SPEAKER_03] It's, Austin's always fun. I was sad my little friend, Ron, and his, neither his girlfriend were around to hang out with, which sucks, but I can have plenty of fun with or without you, Ron. You sent pictures. I did. I'm at your house. I sent the picture. I sent a picture of me and Aaron on the San Antonio Riverwalk and then at the Alamo, and then he sent a picture back of him and Pat and his opening act, Mike, golfing. I'm like, mm, tie. Yeah. It's a tie. [00:23:36] [SPEAKER_03] I say mine's better, but I should have gone over to his house and gone in his house and taken a picture of me on the couch. But anyway, Texas, the Longhorns hook them. Matthew McConaughey's team was playing Ohio State and- Arch Manning, baby. I'm watching all the fans. I have no dog in this fight. I said to Aaron, Aaron knows everything about college football, and I said, why are people [00:24:05] [SPEAKER_03] anti-Ohio State? He goes, well, maybe because they make us call them the Ohio State. Oh, yeah. I go, oh. I didn't know. I saw shirts that were red that said the. I read it as, I was like, what does that mean? I don't even know. I don't even know what it means. But there's a shit Ohio State travels. Boy, their fans are diehard good fans. The Texas people were so excited. Go do the show. I get off stage. [00:24:33] [SPEAKER_03] It's the middle of the third quarter, and Texas is losing a lot, like 24 to 7 or some shit. Go back to the hotel. My goal was to beat the fans back to the hotel bar. So you get a barstool. So me and Aaron have two seats. Right. And he loves football. We did it. We made it back. And I'm like, bam! And the game's on. And even the vibe in, it's a giant Marriott, and there's like four bars. The vibe was like, oh, sad times. And then they scored a touchdown. [00:25:02] [SPEAKER_03] I said to Aaron, well, shit, there's plenty of time. They have a whole fourth quarter. They could. Well, they did it. It was a miracle. It's the largest come from behind since 2007. No. The bar went insane. It's so fun when you don't have a dog in that fight, and you're not all worried about it. Just to watch, and I love football anyway, and I was like, maybe this Arch Manning thing is overhyped, like, at the beginning of it. I'm like, oh, God. We had the iPad backstage. [00:25:30] [SPEAKER_04] I always cried watching him run around. He was so excited. [00:25:33] [SPEAKER_03] He was so excited. He's very cute. It's the Manning factory of quarterbacks. Just keep having sex, and there'll be quarterbacks forever, whoever you're mating with. It's like your nesting doll theory. Whoever you're mating with on. [00:25:44] [SPEAKER_04] I like. But I've never seen since. And they've been up since 3 a.m. for game day. [00:25:48] [SPEAKER_03] And it was 98 degrees at kickoff. Holly Rowe, the reporter, said the game temperature on the field was 160. I don't know how the fans. I saw fans going, well, we'll just walk. I'm like, more. [00:25:59] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, college game day was there, and they were all up at 3 a.m. [00:26:02] [SPEAKER_03] You would have to go do it at 6. I mean, it was so high. And I saw them all saying, oh, we'll just walk. It's like a mile and a half in that heat. Yeah. And you're old. I don't know. Well, all the Ohio State fans, I've never seen sad, sad, sad. Yeah, they came back deflated and defeated, and they weren't not in a better mood in the airport the next day. Oh. Yeah, I flew around with a lot of them. Yikes. Yeah. And I just want to say my condolences. I mean, it was weird. [00:26:32] [SPEAKER_03] It was too hot. Blame it on the heat. Blame it on the heat. Blame it on the heat. And I went to the Yeti flagship store. I know we're in trouble because Yeti's not doing, we want to go to those other people, but I couldn't kind of resist it. [00:26:45] [SPEAKER_04] They do a lot of conservation stuff, though. [00:26:47] [SPEAKER_03] Well, I don't really know. But I just wanted to see the new coolers. So it just comes down to being that. And if you're an LSU person, you better go snag those up because they will be gone. They will be so gone. Oh, and Mizzou beat Kansas. Oh, my God. Yes. Let's talk about that. Kansas. Even though Kansas did. So our hatred of Kansas goes back to the Civil War because they were a free state. [00:27:15] [SPEAKER_03] Missouri was some free, but we did have a lot of slavery going on, too. So we are in the wrong. But my God, my brother went. Patrick went. And it was in Kansas. And some of the signs those Kansas people put up against us were so mean, but they were funny. I got to give them credit. One sign said Missouri killed Dolly Parton. [00:27:40] [SPEAKER_05] What? [00:27:41] [SPEAKER_03] Mizzou killed Dolly Parton. Our coach's name is Drinkowitz or Drinkowitz. I don't know how you say it. I love his last name. But it said Drinkowitz is in the Epstein files. I mean, they're vicious. They're vicious. But we just trounced them. Yeah. Like, you know what? We may have been wrong in the Civil War, but we are not wrong now. That's right. I think we should do an official apology to the state of Kansas. [00:28:10] [SPEAKER_03] And then, because they had posters of this guy in the Civil War that's famous. I don't know. [00:28:15] [SPEAKER_04] I saw the hype video. [00:28:17] [SPEAKER_03] We kicked their ass. [00:28:17] [SPEAKER_04] It was all about racism and slavery. I know. It was a little too hard for some people, I think. [00:28:23] [SPEAKER_03] Oh, yeah. People didn't understand it. No. I wouldn't have understood it last year. I understand it now. But, you know. So, there was even more that went on. I was so overstimulated. I'm very tired. Because normally I don't come home this tired. But I was just overstimulated by everything. Mattel Rancho, where I got my margatinis. So good. Isabella and the theater kids. There's theaters in San Antonio that are so awesome. And they're not. They're run. [00:28:52] [SPEAKER_03] The youngsters are doing it. [00:28:54] [SPEAKER_04] Austin City Limits. [00:28:55] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah. Austin City Limits. That's fun. God. [00:28:58] [SPEAKER_04] What's that Willie's smoking porch you were telling me about? [00:29:01] [SPEAKER_03] Oh, they built Willie Nelson a smoking porch off. You go down a hallway and open it. And then there's a statue of Willie. Like a cardboard statue. But it's more substantial than cardboard. But you get your picture taken with it. And my friend Dory was like, no shit. It was Willie Nelson. No, Dory. I'm not with Willie Nelson. He's real short. No, I just came out here to get a picture of him. That's like a cardboard cutout. Smoking porch. It was just overstimulated football. Mexican food. Food. Everybody's in. A zoo. Oh, my God. [00:29:30] [SPEAKER_03] It was just a crazy fun weekend. Love you, Texas. Love you. All right. Let's move on to some Queen news. Before the Queen news, HollyBobby is in a closet. [00:29:42] [SPEAKER_04] He has 20 minutes. Oh, right now. Before his next meeting. [00:29:46] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah. Okay. All right. Call him. We need to talk a little bit about the Emmys. [00:29:49] [SPEAKER_04] Okay. Hold up, paddles. [00:29:54] [SPEAKER_03] Hey. [00:29:55] Hey. [00:29:57] [SPEAKER_04] Fighting again. [00:29:59] [SPEAKER_01] Hola, chicas. [00:30:01] [SPEAKER_03] Hola. Como esta? [00:30:03] [SPEAKER_01] You hear me too? [00:30:06] [SPEAKER_03] I don't know how to say, are you in a closet in Spanish? [00:30:10] [SPEAKER_01] Yo, I'm not in a closet. I'm in an office. Oh. I used to be in a closet 40 years ago. [00:30:19] [SPEAKER_03] That wasn't a very tight closet though, Bob. Let's not kid ourselves. [00:30:25] [SPEAKER_01] I think I was only kidding myself. Yeah. I think so. [00:30:29] [SPEAKER_06] Funny. [00:30:30] [SPEAKER_01] Oh my God. So much going on. Okay. First of all, I have a cold. Yes, I hear that. So I'm a little nasally. And I did come to work and I'm not wearing a mask. So who's the asshole? Me. Anyway. Did you watch the Emmys last night? [00:30:47] [SPEAKER_03] Did you see your Dolly tribute? I did. I fast forwarded. I don't really care about a lot of the other stuff, as you know. And I do like Reba McIntyre a lot. I just thought it was, I know it was one of Dolly's favorite songs, but it just, I don't know. I don't really know that one. Appalachian Mountain something. She sings great. I mean. [00:31:09] [SPEAKER_01] Well, Dolly also said, if you don't like it, she doesn't want to hear about it. [00:31:14] [SPEAKER_03] Okay. Well, yeah, I get it. I just thought maybe you could have added one that we all know, too. [00:31:21] [SPEAKER_01] Okay. [00:31:22] [SPEAKER_03] Maybe a medley. A medley, I think, would have been really great. And then you finish it off with Dolly's favorite one and give that one more time. Okay. Give that an extension. Were there any surprises? [00:31:35] [SPEAKER_01] Well, yeah, the big thing is, and you probably won't know who this guy is, he's married or in a relationship with Kerry Russell, you know, who's on The Diplomat. Oh, yeah. She used to be Felicity. [00:31:46] [SPEAKER_06] Felicity, yeah. Yeah. [00:31:47] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. Loves, Felicity. I like Kerry. I like Kerry Russell a lot. I think she's really good on The Diplomat. And I hope the termites like her, too. But she and her partner slash husband, Matthew Reese, is from Wales. But you'd think he was from America because he does a great American accent. He was in that series, The Americans with her. [00:32:09] [SPEAKER_06] Yes. Oh. [00:32:10] [SPEAKER_01] Where they were Russian spies. He won an Emmy for that years ago. And then he won two Emmys last night. And that's the first time that's happened for an actor that was nominated in two categories to win in their category on the same night. Both categories. Okay. Cool. Yeah. And now he's got three Emmys. It's a record. Best drama series, best comedy series, and best limited anthology series. So this guy broke a record last night. He's great. [00:32:38] [SPEAKER_03] Well, the people in Wales will go crazy. You should have seen what they did for Bonnie Tyler's funeral. It was insane. What'd they do? Well, they line the streets like the queen died. [00:32:48] [SPEAKER_02] Yeah. [00:32:48] [SPEAKER_03] I don't think Wales has a lot of stars. You know, it's small. Tom Jones. Tom Jones. Well, I know. His drunk cousin. His drunk cousin was in a... I went to... Tom... There was a comedian, Todd, who was obsessed with Tom Jones. And he said, Oh, I heard he goes to this little Italian restaurant in Casino Royale, which is this tiny casino in the middle of this strip that you would not even notice. So we go up there, and there was Tom Jones. [00:33:13] [SPEAKER_03] Sure enough, it's like a, you know, a mom and pop Italian place with the red and white checkered tablecloths. But his cousin got drunk, and they were playing music, and there was like a mini dance floor, and he was so drunk, he hopped. He literally was hopping going, I'm Welsh. I'm Welsh. I'm Welsh. I kept looking at Tom Jones, and I said to Todd, Oh, my God. Everybody's got that cousin. But he flew this man over here, and he's drunk. You have a few of them. [00:33:44] [SPEAKER_01] I know. Well, I can't say that I have drunk Irish cousins anymore because I have drunk German cousins. [00:33:50] [SPEAKER_03] Well, right. And for a minute, you thought they were Polish. [00:33:54] [SPEAKER_01] Yes. All over the place. For the termites that don't know, my DNA test came back, you know, not what I thought I was. So. Welcome, Bobby. Welcome. Welcome. Oh. Well, Paddle, wait, wait. Paddles, Paddles. What did you think of Tay-Tay's sketch? I loved it. Oh, yeah. I loved it. [00:34:11] [SPEAKER_04] I love Mariska Hargitay. I love her. Okay. So, I thought it was a little too long. Yeah. But I did like the cameo with the cat. It's fun. [00:34:21] [SPEAKER_01] But I wanted to watch it back again this morning, but I didn't have time because I had to commute. Now I'm commuting in Los Angeles. Gross. It's work. Oh, my God. Gross. Horrible. Oh, termites, if you don't know the commute in L.A., I'm like driving up Castle Heights. I'm just like going, am I going to make the light? Am I going to make the light? And then, nope, the person stops because they're going to turn left and you can't get around them. There's no left-hand turning lanes in L.A. [00:34:46] [SPEAKER_03] Well, if I was Mariska, I know how hard it is to emcee stuff, and I would have said no to that gig by a million, like a million times over. Even if they offered me the world, I would have said no. So I say she's a very good sport. Yeah. She did a lot with it. And she probably won't do it again because you realize how much work it is and a little payback. And usually people will say mean things. I think this one was good. I don't think anybody will say mean things. But it's not worth. It's not the payoff. [00:35:12] [SPEAKER_03] Well, the old comedian joke is you don't ever want to be a good emcee because then you're going to get more emceeing jobs. You don't want to be a great host because they're never going to leave you alone, a.k.a. Billy Crystal. You know? They just won't stop. Now, Bobby, aside from the Emmys, I asked you, I don't know if you had time. We have breaking news here that I always have my Sphere in Las Vegas updates. [00:35:38] [SPEAKER_03] But Oprah is headlining the Sphere April 2nd, 3rd, and 4th with her show called Aha. [00:35:48] [SPEAKER_01] Yes. Did you? Why don't you tell the show likes what it is? Okay, great. And then we can talk about the artist. Okay. The artist. Hello? [00:35:57] [SPEAKER_04] Tell him what it is. [00:35:58] [SPEAKER_03] Oh, I thought you were going to say it, Bob. [00:35:59] [SPEAKER_04] No, you were going to tell him. [00:36:00] [SPEAKER_01] Oh. Oh. No, you were talking about it. It's like, okay. [00:36:03] [SPEAKER_03] Okay, I'll tell you what it is and then you tell, I'm going to tell him what it is and then you're going to explain what these people do. For a living, because I've never heard of any of them. It's titled Aha. It's a two-hour show taking place four times across one weekend, April 2 through 4, 2027. Winfrey will appear live on stage and introduce performances from, and then you can explain who these people are, [00:36:24] [SPEAKER_03] a Grammy winner Jacob Collier, a poet Ocean Vuong, I don't know, musician Ajit, gospel singer Wintley Phillips, the ticket event is described, everything about this description, my response is, I'm not going to that. The press release says, it's a journey of light, sound, music, storytelling, nature, and shared humanity. [00:36:55] [SPEAKER_02] Yeah. [00:36:55] [SPEAKER_03] Nope. Doesn't sound fine. I would say, no, Bob, you know what we're going to do? We're going to go downtown to that giant pool and see how long we can sit out there and drink until we have a heat stroke. [00:37:05] [SPEAKER_01] Well, Kathleen, you are going to miss out on the opportunity to hear Jacob Collier, an English singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and educator. He has seven Grammy Awards. [00:37:20] [SPEAKER_03] For what kind of music? What kind of music is it? Jazz? Jazz? Oh, no. No. No. Okay. You need to be cultured. You need to go to Las Vegas and be cultured. I have, nothing about that sounds Vegas. No, I don't, I don't understand poets. Every time they have one at the inauguration, I'm like, whatevs. I don't know what any of that meant. [00:37:44] [SPEAKER_01] Who's Ocean Vuong? Who's? How about Oscar? Oh, no, Ocean Vuong. I met Whitley Phibbs is a songwriter, record producer, and a minister. And he has featured a booming bass baritone voice. Okay. Come on, Kathleen. [00:38:02] [SPEAKER_03] Well, I'm not against, gospel can be fine. I'm much more pro-gospel and anti-jazz. But who's this poet person, Ocean Vuong? [00:38:13] [SPEAKER_01] Ocean Vuong is an American poet, essayist, novelist, and photographer. It's too many jobs. [00:38:19] [SPEAKER_03] I don't trust you when you put that many jobs in your description. It is a lot of jobs. I have one job. Comedian. That's it. Battles. Battles. I have too many jobs. She's a little hot under the collar. She is. Oh, come on. We all know it. You see it in some comedians that say, entertainer, actor, comedian. Philanthropist. Stop. Okay. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Who's a G? [00:38:45] [SPEAKER_01] AJ. I do know a G. I do know a G. Okay. But here's the thing. Last night, going back to the jobs and stuff like that on the Immemorium and the Emmy Awards, they didn't call the celebrities actors or actresses. They said performer. And I just was going, what's a performer? I don't know. Hmm. Are you a performer? [00:39:09] [SPEAKER_03] Well, I don't agree that I'm an artist. Every time I sign a contract, it says artist. And I got a big fight with Lewis about it one time. He's like, yes, you are. I go, no, Lou. Here's what you're never going to hear at the pearly gates when they're doing roll call of people that get into heaven. Beethoven, Cezanne, Monet. Oh, and bringing up the rear is Madigan and white. It's never. We're not. I'm not an artist to me, but to me it means like painting or singing. I don't know. [00:39:37] [SPEAKER_03] Comedy is more storytelling to me, which would be performing, I guess. I don't like to think of it that hard, but it's too hard. And then I lose my battles. Oh. Okay. [00:39:49] [SPEAKER_01] But what are they going to do with the sphere? Like, how are they going to decorate it? What kind of graphics are they? [00:39:56] [SPEAKER_03] She's got a lot of nature graphics. She said she was in awe. Oh, I don't know if I heard that. Yeah, I heard that too. The opening night she went to U2 at the stage. She was mesmerized by how the space could be used as a tool for creating greater awareness and understanding of ourselves and our connection to each other. I don't even understand that. I don't even know what that sentence just meant. It said tickets are starting at $145. You could go see Carrot Top for $62. And let me tell you what, you're going to have a much better time because he's fucking funny. [00:40:25] [SPEAKER_03] Well, let me see. Oh, my God. Okay. No, let's try to get tickets and go. Let me go. Let me go. [00:40:31] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, God. That's brave, buddy. I can't go. That is brave. [00:40:35] [SPEAKER_01] We might be enlightened. Come on. [00:40:38] [SPEAKER_03] I'll meet you guys at the bar after. I'm too old to be enlightened. Do you know what an aha moment is? It's a moment of sudden realization, inspiration, insight, recognition, or comprehension. [00:40:50] No. [00:40:51] [SPEAKER_04] You don't want to comprehend this? No. No. [00:40:53] [SPEAKER_03] I don't want... No. No. It sounds like you just had your aha moment. I think so. Yeah. Yeah, that's the thing is, I'm content. I don't want to have any more realizations in this lifetime. I don't want to have... No. [00:41:06] [SPEAKER_01] Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I'm getting nervous talking to you about this. [00:41:10] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah, you're going to get in trouble. Let's not talk about this anymore. You're going to get in trouble because, you know, I'm sure a lot of people will like it. It's like a self-help thing. You know, like, let's learn more about ourselves and whatever and our fellow man, which there's nothing wrong with that. It's just not, well, I'm going to spend time in Vegas. [00:41:29] [SPEAKER_01] No. I had an aha moment here at work the other day when I turned 60 and I was working and I went, you know what I want to do? And starting in March when my contract's up, I want to get up, make a Bloody Mary, go in the pool in Palm Springs and maybe read a book. And then maybe go to the movies after lunch. That's my aha moment for the rest of my 20 years. I like it. Yeah. On Earth. [00:41:51] [SPEAKER_03] Oh. [00:41:52] [SPEAKER_01] Does that sound good? [00:41:53] [SPEAKER_03] That sounds great. I had an aha moment, if we're going to use Oprah's language. When I received a wedding to, I won't say what comedian, the comedian's invitation to the fourth wedding. And I thought, you know, at age 60, I'm no longer attending fourth weddings. As a matter of fact, if I do attend, I'm going to stand up when they say, does anybody have any, does anybody feel strongly against this? [00:42:20] [SPEAKER_03] I'm going to start doing that because we all should have done that years ago and we didn't do it. Absolutely. [00:42:24] [SPEAKER_01] That's my aha moment. You don't get it. While you were talking, while you were talking, my boss just came in and said, do you have a moment? Oh shit. You better go. [00:42:32] [SPEAKER_03] Go Bobby. Go Bobby. [00:42:33] [SPEAKER_01] Wait, wait, wait, wait. Before I go, before I go. Okay. Google the spirit tunnel with Tyler Perry. And you'll see me at the end. And then Katie was here yesterday, your publicist. She got the spirit tunnel with me with Joe Coy. So you'll have to look for Joe Coy's spirit tunnel. And you see me. What the fuck is a spirit tunnel? Go Google. Go Google. [00:42:54] [SPEAKER_03] All right. Go to work. Don't get in trouble. You're not even getting paid for this reporting. [00:43:00] [SPEAKER_04] Don't, don't lose a real job over a fake job. Bobby, we got to call you later and find out when you're coming in October. [00:43:05] [SPEAKER_01] Oh, there you are. Oh, there you are. Oh, there's my boss. You guys. Okay. Bye. Bye. [00:43:09] [SPEAKER_04] Bye. [00:43:10] [SPEAKER_05] Bye. Bye. Bye. [00:43:12] [SPEAKER_04] Bye. I gotta go. My boss is here. Do you have a moment? [00:43:15] [SPEAKER_05] He thinks I'm talking. It's your boss. No, I don't. [00:43:16] [SPEAKER_03] I'm doing a podcast for no money right now. I'm talking to the termites. Talking to the termites and they're important. Oh, fun. Queen news. Well, yeah. I wanted to do that Oprah thing because I knew he's probably booked some of these people and I know that I'm not cultured enough to know who these people are nor do I care. And if I had two hours in Vegas, I'm not sitting in a sphere doing self-help shit. No. No. [00:43:39] [SPEAKER_02] That's nothing Vegas about that. [00:43:40] [SPEAKER_03] I'm going gambling. I'm going to every, now that I understand. Carrot Top. Yes. I'm going to lunch with his real name Scott. Carrot Top's real name Scott, but I call him Scotty. I'm going to lunch with Scotty. I'm going, I'll find other comedians in town. We'll go hang out. I'm not. Vegas is the last place on earth. What I want is self-help when I leave Vegas and go, I need a spa date now, but not in Vegas. Right. [00:44:08] [SPEAKER_03] I'm too overstimulated with the gambling, the sports, the new hotels I want to go look at. Yeah. Whatever. Queen news. We're moving on. Queen news. So Nashville has done it. Step one. It's great. The Dolly Parton airport will be a reality. It's going to take a hot minute, maybe a year or two. They'll expedite that. She said a long time ago when they asked her, do you think it would be, you know, would you want that? And she said, well, it seems like a joke. [00:44:37] [SPEAKER_03] I don't really think anyone's serious. She goes, but I do think it would be funny to say you're departing out of D8. Get it? Departing. Yeah. You're at Departing Airport and you're departing out of D gates. D gates. So they've done it, which is great. 6-0, unanimous vote. I would have dared any one of them to vote against it. The final name is not, yeah, but it's got to be Dolly Parton International. [00:45:07] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah. Don't shorten it to DP or none of that shit because people won't know. I wonder if we have an update, by the way, on the guy in Mississippi that voted against the Imagination Library. I don't know. We'll have to keep up. Do we have any Mississippi termites? Anybody call? Call on Biloxi. Somebody get on it. I don't know. He's not the only one in the country. [00:45:28] [SPEAKER_04] Speaking of people voting against. [00:45:29] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah. Yeah. It's going to cost between $8 million and $10 million to rename it, but it's because they're saying that statue outside and then branding and all this bullshit. [00:45:39] [SPEAKER_02] They will have a GoFundMe in a second. [00:45:41] [SPEAKER_03] Well, I don't even believe that. I think they're saying it's high because they want to act like they're—that's ridiculous. I'd say maybe a couple million. We got to get a new sign. I mean, you got to relabel all the stuff. But whatever. Here's the other update. Update, update, update. Update. So, Dolly Parton's song teller hotel—and there's a museum in there, and she narrated all the stuff. Like, she got to see it all before she left. So, that's good. [00:46:08] [SPEAKER_03] Soft opening was last night, actually. Okay. I read in some local national stuff. I have a reservation for six people—no, four people. Four people. [00:46:20] [SPEAKER_05] Mm-hmm. [00:46:21] [SPEAKER_03] At Jolene's on September 29th. [00:46:23] [SPEAKER_05] Nice! [00:46:23] [SPEAKER_03] Which is the bar upstairs with small bites. Cool. It's not like—I don't want to be sitting in a— Oh, sure. It's your pre-birthday. It's my pre-birthday. Nice. It's my pre-birthday. It's my pre-birthday. Pre-birthday. Fun. So, you guys can get—but then, boy, I must have gotten in right at the time, because then I was thinking about switching it, and everything was, like, taken. Mm-hmm. So, very exciting, though, that that's going to open, and it looks—there's a lot of videos from the soft opening. It looks gorgeous. Cool. [00:46:51] [SPEAKER_03] Not like in a—it looks fun gorgeous. Not like in a reverent way. It's fun. It's a million colors. Butterflies everywhere. Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun. [00:47:00] [SPEAKER_04] Have you been to the—yeah, we have. You told me about it. I've been to the outside. No, the hotel in—is it Sevierville? [00:47:07] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah, the Dream—whatever. [00:47:08] [SPEAKER_04] Dreamland one? Dreamland. Yeah. Mm-hmm. That looks pretty—I mean, I thought it was really tasteful and fun and cool. [00:47:13] [SPEAKER_03] It was very fun. [00:47:14] [SPEAKER_02] This looks more fun. [00:47:15] [SPEAKER_03] That's where the song that can't be released of She's 100 is in the chest. [00:47:19] [SPEAKER_02] Yep. [00:47:21] [SPEAKER_03] This one, I gotta say, is a lot—there's a lot more going on at this one than the one in Sevierville. Yep. The one in Sevierville absolutely should stay, and if you can afford to sleep on the tour bus, I would totally do it. Um, I'd have to check out the air conditioning, though. I'm not gonna go in there to sweat my ass off. Um, uh, also, here's a little something. This is just a little fun fact. I'm not gonna stop with the Dolly stuff till we've gone over everything. [00:47:50] [SPEAKER_03] Um, Anna Wintour, the editor of Vogue, the one that Meryl Streep is based off of in the Double Wears Prada, who wears her sunglasses at night and constantly, and hasn't changed her hair in a hundred years. Mm-hmm. Which I don't really think—I haven't either, but you're supposed to be a fashionista. Four times she said no to Dolly to be on the cover of Vogue. Four. Wow. She said, uh, she was too country, too camp, and too tacky for Vogue. You missed it. [00:48:19] [SPEAKER_05] Wow. Yeah. [00:48:20] [SPEAKER_03] You missed it. Camp. Being camp, that would be like the drag queens and stuff. Mm-hmm. That, that, that is a fashion of its, in and of itself. Yes. So if you think she's too camp, then she's the queen of camp. She should be the queen of camp. Yeah. One, one issue. Right. A year. Yep. Could be devoted to the hat. [00:48:37] [SPEAKER_05] Mm-hmm. [00:48:38] [SPEAKER_03] And it could have been all drag queens. Oh my God, the, uh, the, yep. Every drag queen in the country and fans of drag queens would have bought— She missed out. Four times. Terrible. Um. [00:48:51] [SPEAKER_04] She doesn't get it. Like with the normal people. [00:48:55] [SPEAKER_03] No. [00:48:55] [SPEAKER_04] No. [00:48:56] [SPEAKER_03] No. [00:48:57] [SPEAKER_04] She's a little too inside baseball. [00:48:58] [SPEAKER_03] My sister loves Vogue because she, she actually loves the ads. [00:49:02] [SPEAKER_04] Really? [00:49:02] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah, like I skip over them. [00:49:04] [SPEAKER_04] I used to think it was fascinating with the smelly perfume things. [00:49:07] [SPEAKER_03] Well, right, when you can just smell, yeah. [00:49:09] [SPEAKER_04] Mm-hmm. [00:49:09] [SPEAKER_03] Um. Because I'm a hundred. That's all of our Dolly updates for now. Update! Update! We'll get to Amy in a little while. Um, I told her she has to make the things more affordable. We didn't talk about Tay-Tay at the game. Oh, I didn't do—well, I forgot. That was my only queen news was Dolly because Stevie, nothing. Cher, nothing. Snoop, nothing. Oh, Tay-Tay was at the Kansas City game. That's enough. Oh my God. I know. Well, fantasy football. I won in my two leaves. I won my first game and I won the family pick-em-pool. [00:49:38] [SPEAKER_03] You kicked my ass. I kicked your ass. And then I kicked my brother Joseph's ass. And I said, you're Rashi Rice. Uh, I hope he has super fast shoes because you need him to score 67 points against me tonight. Which is, like, ridiculous. Yep. If you don't play fantasy, that's, like, saying you have to run. I've already dropped my quarterback. And I won the family pick-em-pool out of 27 people. That's awesome. And won it straight out. Didn't even come down to points. Oh, nice. [00:50:06] [SPEAKER_03] Because I took Kansas City, everybody else took Denver on that Monday night game. Boom. Mm-hmm. All I want to do is win once a year. It covers my entry fee. [00:50:14] [SPEAKER_04] There's Papa, um, your Papa coach. What? Right here. The candle. [00:50:19] [SPEAKER_03] Oh, yeah. So the Chiefs looked dynamite. Mm-hmm. The Cowboy game, and I know I'm slowing some of this down. Don't worry. I'll get to it. [00:50:29] [SPEAKER_04] That's okay. [00:50:30] [SPEAKER_03] Okay. I live for Stephen A. Smith on first take when the Cowboys lose. He and I feel the same way. The Cowboys love you, Texas fans. My buddy Ron White. He's going down with the ship. You're never going to win if it's with Jerry, the owner. I've said it a hundred times. We don't need to go into all that again. But the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football in New York, and they rarely showed Jerry. And I was like, wow, did he put out an edict? Don't put me on camera. [00:51:00] [SPEAKER_03] Patrick didn't see him. No. Joseph didn't see him. Nobody. I didn't until I got on social media. Scott's on Twitter that somebody was like, here's Jerry leaving the venue. The Giants steamrolled him. And Dak threw an interception right before halftime. Talk about deflating. Now you go in the locker room like, shit. I just, I did not. I took the Giants. That's another reason I won the pool. Everybody else took the Cowboys. [00:51:28] [SPEAKER_03] People believe the hype year after year after year. How many years does it take for you to believe they're not what Jerry tells you they are? Jerry's a wonderful salesman on the level of Trump. Like as far as a marketing guy, he's going to sell his stuff. He's done wonderful things for the game of football, being a hype man. But the hype doesn't match the team and it doesn't match the players. Right. Nobody even talked about Kansas City this year. [00:51:57] [SPEAKER_03] Everybody's like, oh, because Patrick had torn his ACL. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, Mahomes. They came back. There was a penalty that didn't get called. I'm with you guys on that. But. [00:52:05] [SPEAKER_04] There was a Broncos one too. [00:52:06] [SPEAKER_03] But there was, and the Broncos lost anyway. And I'm so sick of people whining about the Chiefs that, well, the refs are for them. If you truly believe that, then quit bitching and go bet all your money every week for the Chiefs to win. If you're so certain that the refs are cheating. My brother would be one of these people. Go bet then. [00:52:25] [SPEAKER_04] Have you, speaking of betting, have you seen the line on the Titans-Eagles game? They think. What's the line? [00:52:35] [SPEAKER_03] Oh, well, they said only seven. It's seven. Yes, I bet $500. So explain that to what people who don't bet. So it's the biggest bet I've ever made online. $500? Yep. [00:52:45] [SPEAKER_05] Whoa. [00:52:45] [SPEAKER_03] Because I cannot think of anything easier to do for the Eagles to beat the Titans by more than seven points. Unless, unless they think they're not going to use a lot of good players because, fuck it, it's the Titans. They're so bad. Even the local news people here who always try to be happy-shmappy and positive and, hey, we'll get them next week. Even though they're like, this is way worse than we thought. This is, this is horrible. [00:53:14] [SPEAKER_03] I got, I'm getting emails that tickets are $9. $9.25. $0.25. 42% of the stadium was Jets fans. And boy, did they have a blast in Nashville. It was fun to watch. I've seen them last time they were here. I thought maybe the New York people would be kind of aggressive. No, they were the fun, the Jets fans, fucking blast. And they haven't been in a Super Bowl since the Nixon administration. And they still care. They, they came down here. They were here for days. [00:53:43] [SPEAKER_03] Like they came up like on Thursday and they're all over Nashville. Everything I follow locally, the Jets have taken over. They took over Barstool Sports. [00:53:51] [SPEAKER_04] They did not move out of Barstool Sports for three days. [00:53:53] [SPEAKER_03] Three days. J-E-T. The guys teaching them chance and all that. It's so fun. Yeah. But it was also 95 degrees. My little friend Dorf went. And he doesn't even like football. He's hockey, hockey, hockey. Yeah. But he had a friend in town. And I said, were you in a suite or did you have seats? Seats. I go, how high? Oh, wow. He goes, we left after the first quarter. [00:54:16] [SPEAKER_04] You'd have to. You'd have to. [00:54:18] [SPEAKER_03] The Jets fans didn't leave though. No. No. They loved it. Stay drunk. That's what I say. Stay drunk. Giant beers. Because you won't, maybe you won't notice, but your beer gets so hot so fast. It's gross. The beer is more than the tickets. It was just a crazy fantasy weekend. [00:54:35] [SPEAKER_02] Oh, fun. [00:54:36] [SPEAKER_03] Congratulations. That's awesome. I got Kenneth Walker, the third. He is now the running back for the Chiefs. He got more points alone than the entire Bronco team. Mm-hmm. So, just a spectacular week. Did you stick with Lamar? Oh, yes. [00:54:53] [SPEAKER_04] Lamar destroys. He dominates. That's where I had a problem. I had Sam Darnold. He got hurt on the fourth play. He got hurt on the fourth play. [00:55:01] [SPEAKER_03] Out. And he's out for a hot minute. And then Tua. [00:55:04] [SPEAKER_04] And then your nephews were. [00:55:05] [SPEAKER_03] Tua Tagadalala. I can't ever say his name. Little Tua. He had a horrible neck injury. He might be out for the whole season. So then Minnesota brought in Carson Wentz. That was. That was. Or Kyler Murray. Yeah, Kyler Murray. Who got hurt? Kyler. Kyler. That's right. On Minnesota. And then they brought in Carson Wentz. He was wonderful. That's another game. I picked Minnesota. Everybody else took Green Bay. And I love Green Bay. I took Green Bay. But I just thought Minnesota. That's the other thing. [00:55:33] [SPEAKER_03] The Cowboys do not play well outside. Or when they're not at home. In their perfectly mall. Their perfect mall that Jerry's created. They play better. Put them out on the road. Dak. Just looks bewildered the entire game. What the fuck's going on? I don't know. I don't know what's going on. This all started by Taylor was at the game. Well, Taylor was at the Chiefs game. Yeah, that's right. And I'll go back to that. And here's the thing. [00:56:01] [SPEAKER_03] Travis, we all joke that Travis is like a tree. You can throw the ball to him. Me tree. Me get ball. He does. Yeah. And then he turns. And he's supposed to run really fast. And he just can't anymore. But he had a play last night. It was exciting. It was. The tree caught it. And thankfully, there's nobody around. And he just took off like he was. [00:56:23] [SPEAKER_04] Forest had been cleared. [00:56:24] [SPEAKER_03] 16 years old. And he didn't get all the way in. But he got far enough. Like down to the four yard line. Taylor went crazy. His mama went crazy. Her mama. For a while. Tom Cruise was sitting next to Tay Tay. I'm like, don't take the brochure. No. Whatever meeting he asks you to come to, say no. Say you have a religion. You're very happy with it. You don't want any improvements on your life. Your religion is Chief's Kingdom. That's right. Your religion is Arrowhead Stadium. [00:56:53] [SPEAKER_03] That's right. And you're welcome to come tailgate with any of us. I can't believe you won everything. [00:56:58] [SPEAKER_04] I didn't know that. [00:56:59] [SPEAKER_03] All three. It's going to only be downhill from here. But at least I got my money. [00:57:02] [SPEAKER_04] You should get a trophy for that. [00:57:04] [SPEAKER_03] I should. Week one winner. Trifecta. That's something special. Good for you. I still haven't received the congratulations. I still haven't received the mandatory email that's supposed to go out from my brother's office as if he does no job. And then I went in to do some changes on my other team and it said, oops, we're sorry. You're a little early. And I thought, that's because that's what addicts see. We see, hey, fuckface. We haven't even put up. I was going to do next week's games. I'm so excited. Closed out your wire. They haven't closed out anything. And I'm like, come on. What's next week's games? [00:57:34] [SPEAKER_03] Let's go. Let's go. It was 830 in the morning. You got to report back to Adam Rank. I will. He'll be really happy. I want to DM him. Update. [00:57:43] [SPEAKER_04] Good for you. [00:57:44] [SPEAKER_03] Update. Barry Manilow is back, ladies and gentlemen. Oh, my God. He's coming back to the Westgate. Oh, my God. I forgot to tell Bob this. [00:57:53] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, wow. Westgate? That's awesome. [00:57:56] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah. Fun. He's got new dates. February 18th through 20th, February 25th through 27th, March 27th through 25th through 27th, and April 1 through 3th. These old people. Wait, when does it start? What's the first one? February. February. February. So, if you're a BMIFC member, Barry Manilow something fan club. International. Yeah. Go get them. I mean, these old people. Lung cancer. Everything. Pneumonia. He doesn't care. He's back. Fatigue. [00:58:27] [SPEAKER_03] He weighs 74 pounds. Everybody says fatigue. He's back. And let me tell you, one of the greatest shows I've ever seen. Top five. Gladys Knight has said she's going to slow it down. Problem is, Gladys was wandering off a little bit on stage. Uh-huh. Backup singers kind of. I love Gladys. And the problem is, especially with some of the older black women, they can still sing their ass off. Oh, yeah. She sounds good. And so I think, she sounds great. Yeah. And then you think, well, why would I quit? I sound great. Right. Well, there's other things. [00:58:56] [SPEAKER_03] You don't know where you are. Yeah, but we don't. We're not going to. I'm just saying, there's a lot of. [00:59:02] [SPEAKER_04] It's sad. She doesn't look. Like, she looks confused sometimes. Sometimes. [00:59:06] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah. And some people are blaming it on the husband. I don't know. I haven't gone down that rabbit hole. But I think she'll be back at the Ryman and I'm fucking going. Nice. I'm going one more time. Cool. I want to see that one more time. Update. This is so great. This is when people go, would you really retire? Yes. Because there's so many things to do in life. You threaten every day. Well, I like telling jokes. And you add shows. And you know, it comes easy to me, so I'm very grateful for that. But I've done it long enough. [00:59:35] [SPEAKER_03] I'm not retiring soon. But when people say, what would you do? Here's something I'd do. Norway just reinvented the Northern Lights chase. The country has unveiled the world's first panoramic night train built specifically for aurora viewing, turning one of nature's most elusive spectacles into a front row experience. Nice. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls and ceilings let passengers watch the sky come alive in real time. All from a warm, climate-controlled carriage is designed for long winter nights. [01:00:05] [SPEAKER_03] Running through the Arctic routes during peak aurora season from autumn to spring, the train is timed and routed to maximize viewing conditions. Instead of standing in sub-zero temperatures hoping for a glimpse, you can relax, drink your ass off. It's in your... Yes! Well done, Vikings. I know. You know, I talked to... So great. We had... There's a little surprise video coming for my friend Ron White. And I had to call Bill Engvall to... I needed his help. And he's so sweet. [01:00:34] [SPEAKER_03] And I said, you've kind of un-retired. Did you run out of polar bears to see? He's like, well, something like that. He goes, I don't know. I just like doing it every now and then, which I could see that. I'm just not good at only doing one show a month. I can't get my shit together. I'm too rusty. I would have to do more than that. But yes, things... People go, what would you do if you're retired? Oh my God, where do you start? I have to get to... Where is it? Whitehorse to see the polar bears in the town? There's a million places I... No, it's in Manitoba. [01:01:04] [SPEAKER_03] It's in Churchill. Churchill. I know I call it Whitehorse. [01:01:07] [SPEAKER_04] Because that's in the Yukon and I don't know why. It's got nothing to do with Churchill. [01:01:11] [SPEAKER_03] It's okay. I need to go fishing again in Canada. At least you nailed a Canadian town. Update! This is crazy. This is crazy. Elon Musk Boring Company, that's what it's called, the Boring Company, just raised $3 billion. And Nashville's underground transportation experiment is one of the projects expected to benefit. The Music City Loop has gotten a lot bigger than the original idea of connecting the airport to downtown. [01:01:37] [SPEAKER_03] Two tunnels are being built, and a third is expected to join them within 30 days. Nearly 25 miles of tunneling have been authorized. By whom? [01:01:46] [SPEAKER_04] By nobody. [01:01:47] [SPEAKER_03] This is where I feel like this AI shit, we'll get into that. Mm-hmm. This... None of us voted on anything. Mm-hmm. We never heard about a meeting. No. No? No? No. Who's... I don't even think... Like, I look at Mark Carney, the leader of Canada, and he's very sensible. He was a banker. He's still kind of cool. Mm-hmm. He's trying to run a country. Yep. I take him seriously. Mm-hmm. I don't know that world leaders are the world leaders anymore. I don't know. [01:02:16] [SPEAKER_03] I think it's these guys. Mm-hmm. I think it's the tech guys. Yep. He's doing this... 25 miles of tunneling have been authorized, and 40-plus stations. There are going to be 40 little stops in Nashville. True. Now, maybe it'll be wonderful. I don't know. I just don't know how we're going to disrupt all this land, people's homes. [01:02:39] [SPEAKER_04] Has anyone been on the one in Vegas? [01:02:42] [SPEAKER_03] I have not. [01:02:43] [SPEAKER_04] No, I know. [01:02:44] [SPEAKER_03] Is there a term I think it's been? The problem is, it's never where I'm... As far as I know, it's never where I'm at. Like, it doesn't, like, go to the middle of the strip, as far as I know. So, like, I work... I used to work at the Mirage, now I work at the Venetian. We will look that up. My friend Carla Ray. Carla, do you ever listen to this? Maybe she has. BNA has approved its connection. Music City Center has moved forward its tunnel easement. They have another $3 billion behind its broader expansion, [01:03:14] [SPEAKER_03] bringing the reported valuation to $23 billion. Wow. The funding will also support projects in the Vegas Loop, Dubai Loop, and company's expansion elsewhere. But the Nashville part is getting harder to dismiss as just another rendering, ambitious rendering. A year ago, the big question was whether it would get built. Now they're digging. If the full vision comes together, we're talking about an underground transportation network stretching 25 miles with dozens of potential stations around Nashville. [01:03:44] [SPEAKER_03] Shoot, buddy. I just don't understand how we can do these things without anyone. Is it... And then the mayor... Our mayor, Freddie, goes, well, I don't really know much about this. It's your city. Right. Is it the governor? Who's just approving all this? In any city? Bill Lee. [01:04:02] [SPEAKER_04] I don't know this. Does the governor have more say-so in a municipality? I don't know. [01:04:07] [SPEAKER_03] I don't know about a city project. I don't know enough about government. I'm not even sure I was taught, and if I was, I didn't pay attention. We didn't get that on the citizenship test. A senator? [01:04:17] [SPEAKER_04] Don't know. I don't know. If it is a senator, I know which one it is. [01:04:24] [SPEAKER_03] And her name begins with an M. An N with... And her last name begins with a B. Yes. And she was not a fan of Tay-Tay's. She's the only person Tay-Tay has come out against. The funniest thing I ever... The funniest thing I ever saw in a documentary. Ever. Because the look on Taylor's face, and it was called... What's her documentary? Miss America or something, whatever it's called. [01:04:46] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah, Miss Americana or something like that. [01:04:47] [SPEAKER_03] She says she's going to come out and speak out to her fans to not vote for Marsha Blackburn, who's a Republican who was running for the Senate at the time. I don't even remember who the Democrat was. It did not matter that she's Republican. It matters about what she stands for. Her voting record, I know, but I'm just saying the facts. This is what was happening. Right. And her dad, Tay-Tay's dad, was very against becoming political. Right. All you're going to do is off-put people. Mm-hmm. You could look at the McLemore thing. [01:05:17] [SPEAKER_03] The Ed Sheeran thing. It has gone ape, ape, ape shit. It's blowing up. But then I wonder, wait. Like, Robert Kraft owns Gillette Stadium? Do I have to worry about, does the owner of the building like me? Never even occurred to me. But anyway. Anyway. Taylor's dad was very anti this idea. Okay? And he goes, he looks at her. At the time, she's like 28. Right. He goes, do you think Bob Hope would have ever done anything like this? Oh, God. [01:05:48] [SPEAKER_03] It's a full conversation stopper because she doesn't even know what he's talking about. She's like, she goes, um, um, what? He goes, Bob Hope. He entertained the troops and he never took a political side. She's like, yeah, okay. Anyway, what I was saying is, I love it when old people, people my age whip out some old reference and the kids are like, yeah, okay. Anyway, what I was saying. [01:06:18] [SPEAKER_03] One more update. Then we'll call Amy and keep going. It's great. It's the Harkles. They never stop. They're exhausting. I would not know what to do if I was William and Kate except ignore them, which is really hard. It's hold the hounds, hold the hounds, hold the hounds. Do not release the hounds. Don't engage. Don't participate. They are gaslighting narcissistic assholes. So now they've moved back. [01:06:48] [SPEAKER_03] They're living in some rich guy's house and they need these two kids who we've never seen to attend a fancy school. They pick one. Okay. Their security team is literally so bad. First of all, they don't need a convoy. You could just take your kid in the car to school. Maybe you need a bodyguard. I don't know. Right. But if anything, you're irritating people enough to they will want to hurt you because you're so irritating. [01:07:17] [SPEAKER_03] But if you would just shut up. But they put out videos of them traipsing through the English countryside. The video is fake. The kids are in summer clothes. They have like Irish wax jackets on. Well, wait. Why are you freezing? We don't want you to know where we are, but we're posting. And here's a bridge that's clearly identifiable. Whatever. It's we want privacy. But they're posting video after video. Well, they signed the kids up. They went to school two days. [01:07:41] [SPEAKER_03] They took them out because the convoy to take the kids to school had only done that in summertime. And the traffic's not the same. Duh. You should see pick up and drop off by my house at the Andrew Jackson Elementary School. It is a fucking thing from 3 to 430. Right. It's a mess at that corner. Everyone should know that. I don't even have kids and I know that. I'm like, I need to go to CVS before the children attack everything. [01:08:10] [SPEAKER_03] So they're going to switch schools because the security team didn't realize that it's like a single lane road to get to this fancy ass school. And it's reported she got on a private jet and has left the United Kingdom. She's not even there. I don't know. It's security concerns. She's in suffering. Nobody cares about you. Right. Just, yeah, should you have your son of Charles? Should you have, do people want to kidnap the, nobody wants to kidnap you two. No. [01:08:40] [SPEAKER_03] I don't know about the kids, but you're such pains in the asses. I think the royal family should kidnap their kids. Let's help you. We've got Archie and Lilibet. And then have a big photo shoot with them. Do the Christmas pictures. Like make the whole family dress up. Put a crown on him. You are literally. [01:09:04] [SPEAKER_04] New phone, who dis? [01:09:05] [SPEAKER_03] I mean, people say this in real life, but we don't really mean it. These two are literally a royal pain in the ass. You're a royal pain in the ass. What about the kids? They went to school for two days. They met other people. If that's even true. Right. And now it's just tough shit. Nobody wants to steal your kids. Because mom and dad were too stupid to have the convoy team go during a school day and see how the traffic actually is. They're shocked. Yeah. What are all these cars doing here? Jesus. [01:09:35] [SPEAKER_03] We've been at this light for five and a half minutes. Somebody's going to come take Lilibet. What? How would they take her? Nobody knows what they look like. You'd probably steal the wrong kid. Why don't you drive your own kid to school? Well, there's that. Yeah. Put your bodyguard in the back. Exactly. Yeah. Get two of them. A bodyguard. You don't need a bodyguard. They are so self-righteous. And so self-important. He showed up at some gig. I saw clips of it alone without the whole team because he doesn't have a team anymore. And nobody cared. [01:10:05] [SPEAKER_03] He's in a mess of people and everybody's just, you know, hey, how you doing? Walking around. No one cares. This is his grandiose. The grandiosity is just. It's unbelievable. Both of them. You know, people would say, oh, it's her. Oh, he's. He is just as big a teammate in this. Yep. Yep. And he is going to wear down Charles till Charles with their security concerns are being reviewed again. Well, for the first time since they quit. Right. [01:10:34] [SPEAKER_03] To see if they should get tax funded. Taxpayer funded security. Right. No. No. You quit. Right. Are you still Charles's son? Yeah. It was brilliant to put out the statement. You don't get that. Eugene and Beatrice don't have it. Right. You don't automatically get that six million dollars worth of security just because you're born into the royal family. Right. You have to be a working royal. That's the fucking paperwork. Right. Amen. [01:11:03] [SPEAKER_03] Amen. I care a little too much as an American. I'm just fascinated because it's the exact movie of his great uncle and Wallace Simpson. And it's like he's never seen the movie. He's not seen the movie. Well, he should. The two of them should get a thing of popcorn and sit down. All right. Let's call Amy because she's going to tell us about a capsule. And she went to Old Navy. I told her because I read you guys' term. We need to make it affordable. I do like to hear the names of the higher end ones though. [01:11:33] [SPEAKER_03] I do too. Well, I like to hear the names of them. But I know I can't afford them. Well, I just don't want to ever pay more than anything more than $300 for a lifetime sweater. It just seems crazy. When J.Crew and I set mine on fire, it's fine. Wonderful. It was $135. I walked into your house. And it's Irish green. I love it. I love it. Just to have like on a green cashmere for fall for no reason. [01:12:01] [SPEAKER_03] I should have worn it down to the Jets game and I could have looked like a Jets fan. But it's too hot. Yeah, it's too hot. It's hot today. It's 101 today. I'm so sick of it. It's, yeah. Little Dorf. Hey, Maddie, want to golf after you're done with the podcast? No, free. No, you freak. You're going to die out there. And that little freak. You're insane. He's an old hockey player person. He will show up not in shorts and have dry fit shit. Whatever. Let's call Amy. Bought and paid for. [01:12:32] [SPEAKER_03] Here's my best friend. He's fidgety. He's dressed like it's four below zero and it's 101. You hot, darling? Hello, Amy. Hello. Hi, Amy. Sorry, we're a little late. There's been a lot going on in a good way. A lot of breaking news. A lot of everything. Wow. [01:12:52] [SPEAKER_00] And it's National Cat Month, too. I don't know if you're aware of that. [01:12:56] [SPEAKER_03] I heard that on the news this morning. Oh, boy. [01:12:58] [SPEAKER_00] I did not know that. I'm going to have to stop. Baby cat. I'm surprised baby cat didn't tell you. [01:13:03] [SPEAKER_03] She's sitting right here. She only speaks Spanish. [01:13:07] [SPEAKER_00] She's like, yeah, where's my present? [01:13:09] [SPEAKER_03] Oh, my God. I did not know that it's a cat. I got to do something special for him. Chapo brought me a snake yesterday. Oh, wow. So he's giving you a cat. He's bringing me presents. That's nice. [01:13:23] [SPEAKER_00] Yeah. Cool. Happy cat national Monday. You should get a cat. Oh, my gosh. Rosie would freak out. Yeah. She would love it, actually. I think she would really like it. [01:13:34] [SPEAKER_03] She probably would like it. Rosie's a dog. Yes. Yeah. [01:13:38] [SPEAKER_00] Rosie's a dog. Well, she doesn't know she's a dog. She's a human. She's a child. [01:13:42] [SPEAKER_03] Sort of a chocolate lab, sort of a mutt that Xavier picked out of a box at the grocery store. [01:13:48] [SPEAKER_00] Yeah. That's romantic. And then suddenly became my dog. Exactly. [01:13:54] [SPEAKER_04] I'll feed it. I'll want it. Mom, can you watch this for a year? Yeah. Or five? I'm going to. [01:14:00] [SPEAKER_03] I'm moving. Can you watch this till I move back? [01:14:03] [SPEAKER_00] Did I say I would take her when I went away? Yeah. No, that's not happening. [01:14:08] [SPEAKER_04] Too funny. [01:14:10] [SPEAKER_03] All right. So tell us about your capsule, Amy. I'm very excited because it's doable. [01:14:16] [SPEAKER_00] Yes. It's completely doable. I'm fascinated. Last week, we talked about what it is. Yes. Because it's, you know, everyone's talking about it, you know, all over the internet, blah, blah. And then we talked about why we want it. And so today we're going to talk about how we build it. So first, you know, three, three ways to do this. You have to work. Number one, within that four core essential concept of the tops, the bottoms, the layers and the footwear. [01:14:43] [SPEAKER_00] You select three to four neutral colors, gray, white, navy, beige, black. And they just, you know, because then everything matches. Right. [01:14:50] [SPEAKER_05] Cool. [01:14:51] [SPEAKER_00] You want to streamline that count. And I'm suggesting that you do 15 pieces because then you're going to get dozens of options. And then, of course, you want to make sure that you, you know, select various textures because that's going to make the versatility, you know, and make the outfits different. Yeah, exactly. So you're not, you don't look like you're in uniform. So what I did for you, Kathleen, is I went to Old Navy over the weekend. And I thought, you know what? [01:15:20] [SPEAKER_00] I'm going to give myself a challenge, 35 minutes or less, to pick out 15 pieces for my fall wardrobe capsule. And I did this for two reasons. One, I want to stress, and this is really, really important, your capsule doesn't have to be expensive. Old Navy is super accessible. It's all over the place, and you usually can get a pretty good quality at a decent price. So I picked out 15 pieces for $423. Holy shit. [01:15:50] [SPEAKER_00] In 35 minutes? In 35 minutes. I'm fast, man. Wow. Give me a credit card. You can see what I would do. That's great. So, I mean, look, if I can get a dozen combinations, then that, to me, is money well spent. And then I also wanted to visibly piece together the 15 items so that I can walk you through how this works. Because it's really crazy how, and I actually threw this into chat GPT because I was so excited and I flunked statistics. [01:16:20] [SPEAKER_00] But I wanted to figure out how many pieces, you know, how many outfits can you get? How did you do in statistics? [01:16:26] [SPEAKER_03] Totally flunked. Totally flunked. It's terrible. I never even thought of signing up for that. No. [01:16:33] [SPEAKER_00] I think I had to take it twice, and I think I flunked both times. So, never really made it. [01:16:37] [SPEAKER_04] Then I got into sports gambling, and now I'm really good at it. [01:16:40] [SPEAKER_00] Yeah. That's what I'm saying. You should be really good at it. [01:16:43] [SPEAKER_04] So, both of you. [01:16:44] [SPEAKER_00] Anyway, so, I threw it into chat GPT, and I said, look, I've got these 15 pieces. How many outfits can I get out of them? And I described them. And chat GPT said I could get 95. Holy crap. Last night, I was up till 1 o'clock in the morning videotaping all 95 pieces. And I did it. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I know, right? So, I made 15 pieces. I know, crazy. That's awesome. [01:17:11] [SPEAKER_03] So, can people go on your Instagram and see what you got from Old Navy? [01:17:15] [SPEAKER_00] Yes. Yes. So, that's what I was going to tell you. So, at the end of this, I'm going to walk you through kind of a little bit how you throw this all together. But I am going to put all of this up on Instagram in a reel or probably, I have no idea how many I'll help you. But I'll figure it out between now and Friday. And you can go to my Instagram account and you can see all 15 pieces and how I put them together 95 different ways. That's awesome. So, I picked out four pairs of pants. Okay. [01:17:43] [SPEAKER_00] I picked out a pair of denim jeans, black jeans, a pair of brown slacks. [01:17:47] [SPEAKER_03] I can never find black jeans. [01:17:49] [SPEAKER_00] Oh, yeah. You know what's interesting about Old Navy is they always have a whole wall of options. So, more than likely, whatever your body type is, you're going to be able to find a pair that you like. I also selected a pair of winter white textured ankle length pants. They're kind of like, they reminded me of capris when I pulled them off the rack, but they're long. So, they go all the way down to my ankle, which I like. And then I got a ribbed black dress. [01:18:19] [SPEAKER_00] It's short sleeve with a crew neck because I want to be able to layer that. I picked up a denim jacket. That's always super versatile. Oh, yeah. You have to have that. And then at the end of this, I'll give you a list. I wish somebody would have told me. The same things you need. [01:18:33] [SPEAKER_03] When I was like 21, but my mom would have never thought of these things. Like, get a good denim jacket because it can go over a dress, a shirt, a sweater, anything. [01:18:43] [SPEAKER_00] Yeah, and don't give it away because they go in and out of style. Funny enough, I have a denim jacket that I got from the Limited when I was a senior in high school. And I still wear it. I've just always kind of kept it in my closet. And denim kind of goes in and out and it's back in. So it's something that you should hang on to and don't give it away. Okay. Nice. I also picked up this really cool faux suede, like bartender length jacket. [01:19:13] [SPEAKER_00] And it's really, it looks to me like it's pretty, I mean, it's... Was that the brown one I saw in the picture? Yes. Yes. Okay. Yes. That's the brown one. And it's super cute. I love the color. And then I picked up six tops, one of which is a t-shirt because I felt like I probably wasn't being very nice about your t-shirt blushing last week. So I wanted to show you that. That's slightly hurt. I know, I know. I was very, very upset that I was not going to go. [01:19:40] [SPEAKER_00] So I included a t-shirt and now I'm going to show you how you can actually use it and layer it and use it all fall. Nice. And then I picked up two button downs, a white and a denim one. I got three very lightweight, long sleeve rib sweaters. So they're really, really thin. So I can wear them by themselves if it's a little warm and I can layer them when it gets cooler. I picked up a poncho. I feel like I picked up all these clothes. I can't believe the price I paid. [01:20:07] [SPEAKER_03] Question. And then I got a turtleneck. Hold on. Oh, a turtleneck always works for everything. I have a turtleneck that's like 20 years old. Believe it or not, it was Tari, but I got it at TJ Maxx. Yeah. And I know Tahari's fancy pantsy. So when you put that into chat GPT, do they show you? If you installed your pictures of your capsule into chat, would it then show you 95 outfits? Yes, he would. He would. Yeah, he absolutely would. [01:20:34] [SPEAKER_00] Is that Claude? Oh, Claude. Yeah, Claude. Claude. Claude, yeah. He's a great guy. I have done so much with the chat GPT. It's super helpful. But yes, if you took each one of your 15 pieces, you have to take a photo of them, put them into Claude or chat GPT, whatever you've got. And then tell them, I would like you to coordinate as many outfits as you can. And I'm certain that he or she would do that for you. Cool. Yeah. A turtleneck. What color is a turtleneck? [01:21:03] [SPEAKER_00] Black? So I found this, no, this was my pattern. I selected two patterns. The turtleneck is a black and white check turtleneck. And then I also picked up a poncho that has maybe beige, you know what a poncho is, kind of goes over your head or it wraps around you. [01:21:22] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah, but you, this is why you're fabulous and we are not. You will pop out of a room wearing a poncho and it looks totally normal and appropriate for the day. [01:21:33] [SPEAKER_00] Okay. [01:21:33] [SPEAKER_03] I look like I just got back from a Mexican vacation and forgot my blanket. [01:21:39] [SPEAKER_00] Well, not if you go to Old Navy and pick out the frill poncho. [01:21:43] [SPEAKER_03] What's it called? The frill poncho. [01:21:45] [SPEAKER_00] It's called the frill poncho. Okay. It's actually quite fabulous. It's got the beiges, the grays, the winter whites. Okay. It's really, it's kind of, it's really thin. So it's not bulky and heavy. So you can layer it and then you can even put one of those cool jackets over it and then put that on top if you were really, really cold. But, so yeah, so these 95 combinations, it's cool how this works. I'm going to walk you through like, just like one scenario, just so you can figure out how you can get to these 95 combinations. [01:22:14] [SPEAKER_00] I'm going to start with that white, white button down shirt, which is essential for a fall wardrobe. And I'm going to get into the top five pieces that you need. You really, you really need one. And the only reason why is because it's a great, it's something you can travel with. It's, it layers. You can unbutton it if you get hot. You can throw a t-shirt on your t-shirts underneath it. It's great. [01:22:38] [SPEAKER_00] So I took this one white shirt and I, I paired it with all four of the pants, the winter white, the black, the denim and the brown slacks. Then I pair the shirt underneath two jackets and the poncho. And that's seven outfits. [01:22:52] [SPEAKER_03] Oh God. So then. So, so people, even if they didn't want to spend the $436, whatever you spent, you could spend half and get half those amount of outfits. [01:23:03] [SPEAKER_00] Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nice. Yeah. I'm starting with 15 because I think, look, I'm, I'm the one and done. Go in, get out, do it. But I also know what I'm doing. Right. I, I feel like you, you can't really rush the process. Like if you're, you know, you're kind of, oh gosh, I don't even know where to start. Go and pick out two pieces that, you know, okay, I can use this. This is a nice white shirt. I love it. I'm taking it home. This is a nice pair of black jeans. I'm taking that home. [01:23:30] [SPEAKER_00] But, but you can do all this with the, you know, with the remaining pieces. So then I took that white shirt and I layered it underneath the gray, navy and beige sweater. Then again, under the two jackets, then under the poncho. And that's 13 outfits with one little dumb old shirt. [01:23:50] [SPEAKER_04] That's crazy. That's awesome. [01:23:52] [SPEAKER_00] Right. So then I can do the same thing with that denim button down that I got. That gives me another 13 options. Now I'm at 26 and then I can replicate that with the black and white turtleneck. That's amazing. And Kathleen, your t-shirt, that gives me 26 more options. And now I'm up to 52. Wow. That's crazy. [01:24:11] [SPEAKER_03] This is why my brother Joe, who's married to Amy, goes, yeah, I'm not really sure what she was talking about. And then he, he goes and hikes a mountain and pretends like none of that happened. No, that's what that happened. [01:24:24] [SPEAKER_00] If you're 20 to 1.30 in the morning, I'm going to climb down to Kilimanjaro. Yeah. [01:24:28] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah. And have deep thoughts about the family and our relationships. [01:24:33] [SPEAKER_00] Exactly. So then you take these sweaters, you compare them by yourself, you compare them with the jackets. And now I'm at 21 plus 52 calculator. I have 73 outfits now and I haven't, haven't even mentioned the dress. So, I mean, as you start building this, it's insane. Like I got up to 89 outfits within the first hour. And then I was thinking, okay, well, how come I can't, where's this 95th one? And then I remembered your t-shirt. Oh, my savings. [01:25:01] [SPEAKER_00] So I, yeah, I put the t-shirt under it. [01:25:04] [SPEAKER_03] And it now, hold on, hold on. I saw on your table, the photo, it does have writing on it. It says, what is it? Paris. [01:25:12] [SPEAKER_00] Paris. I got it for you. I figured, well, you know. Because you love Paris. I do love Paris. [01:25:15] [SPEAKER_03] But it says Paris like 1988 or something, right? Like those, just two. [01:25:19] [SPEAKER_00] Paris 1982. [01:25:21] [SPEAKER_03] That's fine. But so I think a lot of people like me who don't know what we're doing, we think that you need a t-shirt with no writing. Like, so like if I went up to eat dinner at the golf course, I would probably up it to a black solid t-shirt. It just looks a little fancier. Then I've been to Paris shirt. [01:25:46] [SPEAKER_00] Then you're, I feel Paris and all I got was just. I heart Paris. [01:25:50] [SPEAKER_03] I heart the Eiffel Tower. [01:25:52] [SPEAKER_00] You know what? You know what you could do with it is I took that t-shirt and I put it underneath. Underneath. Then I'm button down. [01:25:59] [SPEAKER_04] Yeah. [01:25:59] [SPEAKER_00] And then I put that underneath the suede jacket. [01:26:02] [SPEAKER_04] True that. [01:26:03] [SPEAKER_00] And I put it with the winter white capri pants. And it looks really cool. Nice. Like, so you can take your old t-shirts maybe as long as they don't have a hole in them. Yeah. You know, pair them with something really cute like a suede jacket and you're off. Okay. So we're off to the races. I can't wait to see your videos. Yeah. Five pieces. I know it's crazy. Well, this is wonderful. [01:26:22] [SPEAKER_03] And I hope everyone understands that this is easy. And you know what? Just before we wrap this up, I haven't been in Old Navy for a long time because I feel like I liked Old Navy in the beginning. Matter of fact, my favorite sleep shirt on the road that I lost after five years, it was a horrible day. It was the saddest day ever. I lost it because it was so soft. But then I feel like Old Navy kind of went junky for a while. [01:26:45] [SPEAKER_00] Yeah. They struggled. So I actually did a little bit of research trying to figure out what happened to them because... But now they're back. Now I feel like they're back. Well, they're trying. They're trying. They're trying. Okay. So unfortunately, they still produce all of their products overseas, India, Indonesia, Nicaragua, Cambodia. However, I think in their effort to get the children to come back in and shop almost... [01:27:12] [SPEAKER_03] Meaning your daughter. Meaning your daughter. Right. [01:27:14] [SPEAKER_00] Right. Right. Anywhere from 20 to 60% of all of their synthetic fabrics are recycled now. And so as I'm looking at all these tags, because I was like, I wonder what this is, you know, to look at the materials. 80% of them are synthetic. And the reason why they're so cheap is because they are mass produced. But every single one of these have a big fat label saying this is 30% recycled material. [01:27:40] [SPEAKER_00] So I think they're trying to say, okay, kids, look, in order for you to... To afford this sweater and make it so that everyone can afford this sweater. We have to go, you know, to Indonesia to make it. And it's going to be synthetic. However, it's from recycled material. Oh, okay. I gotcha. Which is what these children love. I mean, they're all thrifting. And I mean, the stuff that my kids are finding in the thrift stores is insane. [01:28:03] [SPEAKER_03] It's really great stuff. They're mad at the old ways. I get it. I feel like the gap went bad for a while. And I don't know if it's good again. But the Old Navy and the gap are kind of hand in hand, right? [01:28:16] [SPEAKER_00] Well, they're owned by the same, you know, it's the same conglomerate. So it's Banana Republic, the gap. [01:28:21] [SPEAKER_03] Oh, okay. [01:28:22] [SPEAKER_00] But Old Navy was... So the gap was first. And then came, I believe, Banana Republic second. And then Old Navy third. So Old Navy didn't come out until... [01:28:30] [SPEAKER_03] No, they were last. Yeah, for sure. [01:28:32] [SPEAKER_00] Yeah, they were last. And so most of their material is synthetic. And that's why they're able to keep the prices low. [01:28:38] [SPEAKER_03] Well, this is going to be so awesome. We're going to put the link to your Instagram because I want to see them. I saw all the clothes laid out on your kitchen table in the picture you sent me. But I want to see how it goes. [01:28:49] [SPEAKER_00] I'm trying to clean all this up before your brother gets home. What did you buy? What's going on? [01:28:55] [SPEAKER_03] I just saw a wardrobe and stuff earlier. Just tell them it's for cats. Yeah. It's research. Hello. It's research. It's for the termites. Tell them we have a budget of negative dollars. [01:29:06] [SPEAKER_02] Yes. God, Joseph. [01:29:07] [SPEAKER_03] You could actually just send me everything in that capsule if it's a size 4 or 6 and I'll just buy it off you. [01:29:12] [SPEAKER_00] I actually did get everything mostly in your sizes. Great. [01:29:16] [SPEAKER_03] Nice. Send it to me. [01:29:18] [SPEAKER_00] Awesome. Yep, I will. [01:29:19] [SPEAKER_03] You're definitely getting the pair. I can return them at Downey National if it doesn't work. [01:29:23] [SPEAKER_00] It's fine. I'll send you the receipt. All right. Cool beans. Hey. All right. Thanks, Fabulous Amy. Yeah, you did. [01:29:29] [SPEAKER_05] I can't wait to see you. [01:29:30] [SPEAKER_04] Have a wonderful afternoon. Bye. [01:29:32] [SPEAKER_05] Bye. [01:29:33] [SPEAKER_04] Bye. Bye. [01:29:36] Bye. [01:29:39] [SPEAKER_04] So, I had 94 t-shirts. I put it in the calculator. Then I did this. [01:29:42] [SPEAKER_03] Then I did 55 times a million. And I have 7,852 outfits that are going to stun your brother. It's so great. Hacking, though. I know. You know? But if you ask Joseph, has she had the same outfit on at all in the last month? No. He'd just be like, I don't know. Maybe. Maybe. Am I going to be in trouble if I say yes or no? Who's asking? Yeah. Why would someone want to know that? He's so analytical. No. I would be with him. [01:30:11] [SPEAKER_03] She can overwhelm you with information, but it's all valid. It's all good, though. Yeah. It's all. Yeah. I can't wait to see that video. Now I want to go to Old Navy. I don't even know if there is one out here. I'm kind of in the sticks. Yeah. I'm shutting your phone off. Oh, okay. I need another beer. You know what? Jesus. This is what I do. Oh, my God. This is what I do when I'm out of beer. It's called Baby in a High Chair. When babies get mad. Do it for Terry. [01:30:41] [SPEAKER_03] Baby in a High Chair. [01:30:46] [SPEAKER_04] That's Chapo's noise when he's pissed. All right. You move into the next segment. I'll go down the stairs and get you a beer. [01:30:52] [SPEAKER_03] Holy shit, they found it. This is so great. You can't say it like that. [01:30:56] Holy shit, they found it. Thank you. [01:30:58] [SPEAKER_03] I know. For the first time in 200 years, I'm going to slaughter this name, but the name is a Przewalski horse. It's in Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan. I know. I always say it wrong. I flip all the letters. Whatever. Over there. [01:31:15] [SPEAKER_02] It's in Kazakhstan. [01:31:16] [SPEAKER_03] But their horse mane is like a Billy Idol mohawk. They don't have the traditional, maybe more like a zebra. It's been born out in the wild. It's a little boy. He arrived August 22nd. He was soon standing, found his mom nursing, and while conservationists say they were doing well under the reintroduction program. Um, so it's great. It's adorable. [01:31:46] [SPEAKER_03] You gotta just Google. Well, I'll put it in the schnotes. I don't know how to pronounce it. P-R-Z-E-W-A-L-S-K-I. Uh, it's a tiny, well, it's a foal. So, it's a tiny horse. I don't know. They don't look like they get very big. Um, oh, wait a second. I'm doing, I had a holy shit. Um, this is crazy. You guys just need to see a picture of this cat. Um, no, it's not a cat. It's a langer. It's a monkey. [01:32:17] [SPEAKER_03] It's called the Cat Ba Langer. [01:32:20] Right. [01:32:21] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah. Great. The Cat Ba Langer, known as the golden-headed langer, is one of the rarest primates on Earth. It lives only on Cat Ba Island in northern Vietnam and nowhere else. There are only said to be 70 or 80 left in existence. And this thing is the freakiest, prettiest little monkey I've ever seen. It's very sad. There's only 70 or 80. How do we get more? Um, oh, it looks like a Teletubby. What? Google, Google. [01:32:50] [SPEAKER_03] You gotta see this. Sorry, I was giving you a beer. I know. What are we talking about? His face is white. Google Cat. [01:32:57] Cat. [01:32:57] [SPEAKER_03] B-A. It's two words. Second word, Ba. Yeah, Ba. B-A. Island. It does. Yeah. If I saw one of those, there's no way I wouldn't try to make it a pet, which is terrible. I know I shouldn't do that. Where can I see one? [01:33:16] [SPEAKER_04] Oh. Wow. News! There's a GoFundMe. I don't know if I'd trust that. They lived 30 years. That's not that long. 30 years? I'm gonna get you a monkey and see me. [01:33:28] [SPEAKER_03] Monkeys freak me out. Year three, you'd be like, whoa. I want someone else to have a monkey. Calling your friends at the zoo. I want someone that I know to have a monkey, but I don't want to have a monkey because I saw that movie Monkey Shines and they can turn. They can turn bad. I can't imagine door for the monkey. I can't imagine door for the pet. The place is never here. No. News! Here's something you're gonna hate, paddles. [01:33:50] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, boy. [01:33:51] [SPEAKER_03] Celine Dion returns to the stage after amid her stiff person syndrome battle. Jesus. She's been spectacular in Paris, according to her. No, the reviews are wonderful. I know you don't like her because of your reasons, your Canadian reasons. [01:34:12] [SPEAKER_04] She's a narcissist, that's why. [01:34:14] [SPEAKER_03] And I feel bad for her that she was sick. Yeah, but sometimes narcissists serve useful purposes. She's a wonderful entertainer. Very dramatic. The drama makes me laugh. [01:34:24] Oh, my God. [01:34:25] [SPEAKER_03] When she just... Every move. [01:34:29] [SPEAKER_04] Celine really likes... [01:34:30] [SPEAKER_03] And in a moment that you left... [01:34:34] [SPEAKER_04] She doesn't want people to sing along with her. No, she does not. Because she wants them to hear her voice. [01:34:39] [SPEAKER_03] Near and far, wherever you are. She sang them all, too. You gotta give her credit. She sang every hit. I think she's very talented. If you paid that money... I'm proud that she's Canadian. [01:34:51] [SPEAKER_04] That's all I can say. [01:34:52] [SPEAKER_03] Oh, okay. It's a start. Yeah. In the healing relationship. Not healing with Celine Dion. Paddles, tell me how you feel. Okay. It's her over... It's very Frenchie. The flair. The over-the-top... Pay attention to me. I don't... [01:35:13] [SPEAKER_04] Not in a normal entertainer way. Well... You know? Stevie doesn't have to do that. True that. Neither does Tay-Tay. She gets those dancers out there. It's fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Little Terry Clark. [01:35:24] [SPEAKER_03] Boom. Great. Okay, moving on. You won Anne-Murray. I get it. I don't know. Beneath the snowy... And they take that snow back with you... By the very firm on that day... [01:35:41] [SPEAKER_04] When I was young, my heart was... [01:35:44] [SPEAKER_03] There was a picture of her and Celine Dion. Why? I don't know. They were at some function. Okay. And Anne has on... Some sort of blue jeans and a flannel shirt. Of course she does. She's sitting next to Celine, who's like a thousand percent decked out with just jewels dripping off her and shit. I thought, I bet Anne didn't think this photo shoot was going to happen today. Nope. But she also may have. That's the weird thing. [01:36:13] [SPEAKER_04] Well, she would have let it go, yeah. [01:36:15] [SPEAKER_03] Which Anne would have just said, that's fine. Take my picture. Yeah. I don't care. I'm going golfing. Okay. This is a shout out because I got to meet some of the world's giant... Some of the giant tortoises at the San Antonio Zoo. This is called the Seychelles giant tortoise? Seychelles. Seychelles. Seychelles. Seychelles. Seychelles. Seychelles by the seashore. Seychelles by the seashore. Seychelles by the seashore. [01:36:36] [SPEAKER_04] Why did we have to learn that as kids? [01:36:38] [SPEAKER_03] I don't know. Seychelles. Probably to see if we had a lisp or some shit they'd beat out of us. [01:36:43] [SPEAKER_02] I'm like, I think it was... We were being graded, but I don't know why. I don't know. [01:36:50] [SPEAKER_03] We'll straighten that out. You're going to stay here today and you're not leaving with a lisp. Why can't you see that? Yeah. Well, so I met some of those at the San Antonio Zoo this weekend. They're adorable. Because they're super slow, but they're intentional. Like, the one just kept walking towards the guy. He just wanted to push his leg. Like, pet me, pet me. And when you pet them, it's like leather. Like... Really? Yeah, but they like it. They can even feel when you pet their shell. He said it'd be like on your fingernails. You can feel it. Not as good as you'd feel it on your... [01:37:18] [SPEAKER_03] But if you pet it at his neck. Oh, cool. Oh, and then he'd go up for more. Like, his chin would go up. Like, do more, do more. Well, the oldest one in the world is 193. Jesus. He's the world's oldest living land animal. His name is Jonathan. Jonathan. He was... He lives on some island in the British Isles somewhere. I think I've never heard of, but this island. He was born 30 years before the Civil War. God, can you imagine? All right, speaking of Canadians... Oh, no. [01:37:46] [SPEAKER_03] This is where... This is why we're not staying dumb on this podcast. Okay. We're not staying dumb. For the first time, I just don't understand the anti... Anti-learning. I don't understand that. For the first time in Highmark Stadium history, that's the new Buffalo Bills stadium, we will celebrate the American and Canadian anthems during pregame. We can't wait to have... I like it. [01:38:14] [SPEAKER_03] A Bills fan, Oli Corvallo, is going to sing. And Barenaked Ladies are singing. Oh, love them. But they're so... First of all, for those of you who do not know... [01:38:28] [SPEAKER_04] People are mad. [01:38:29] [SPEAKER_03] Buffalo, half of their fan base are Canadian. [01:38:33] [SPEAKER_04] Yes, they're from Southern Ontario. [01:38:35] [SPEAKER_03] And they come over and they deal with the border bullshit, which is sometimes a huge pain in the ass. Horrible. And they deal with it, and they're loyal, and they've been rooting for these teams forever and ever and ever. But let's even say there were just some. Right. But it's a lot. Yep. Hey, we're going to play their national anthem. Nope. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to learn. I want to stay fucking dumb. I don't ever want to hear anyone else's song. Why wouldn't you want to hear it? I love hearing the other anthems in World Cup. [01:39:04] [SPEAKER_03] Because I judge their anthems, like, secretly. I do a lot of judging. But it's interesting. Yeah. Like, and the Canadians... Also, if we're going to talk about the athletes, like, at a Sabres game, they're probably 70% Canadians. [01:39:20] [SPEAKER_05] Yeah. [01:39:20] [SPEAKER_03] The hockey players. Yes. And then, I don't... I just... The Bills fans... I don't know how many Canadian football players there are, but Doug Flutie. Not many. That's why some of Alberta... But just, why would you be offended at hearing someone else's anthem? [01:39:37] [SPEAKER_04] There's an anti-Canadian rhetoric now with a lot of Americans. Really? Yeah, because our fearless leader is mad at Canada. At Canadia? Yep. You know what we're going to do? We're going to tax everything. Okay. New phone who it is. [01:39:55] [SPEAKER_03] Here's some good news, as far as I'm concerned. Maybe people will disagree. Texas Roadhouse... That's a transition. Wait. No, wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait. Oh. Oh, it's... So, Texas Roadhouse. I've eaten at two in my life. [01:40:13] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, God. [01:40:14] [SPEAKER_03] And you're alive. Well, Lewis ordered barbecue ribs. Oh, what a... Oh, look. This is just going to be a sugar dump of red sauce. Terrible. Terrible. Well, their main competitor, though, is O'Charlie's. And it's closing. The one by my house. Two miles from here. [01:40:29] [SPEAKER_04] Are they all closing? [01:40:30] [SPEAKER_03] Yep. [01:40:31] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, wow. [01:40:31] [SPEAKER_03] I didn't know that. I thought they were downsizing. It's Tennessee-based. O'Charlie's. Mm-hmm. I can honestly say I've never been in there. I worked there for a day and a half. What? Yeah. When I moved to America. My friend told me to go... You just sounded like Amerigo Vespucci. [01:40:50] [SPEAKER_04] No, my friend said that you'd make good tips if you were bartending. So I went over there and I'm like... When I sailed to America in the 14th... I lasted one and a half shifts. Why? And I'm like, I can't do this. I don't care how many free rolls you get. Oh, I didn't even know they had rolls. Oh, yeah. They're known for their rolls. [01:41:07] [SPEAKER_03] But they give a lot away, which is probably why they're closing. Here's a good... This is for you techie geeks. My friend Lorene. She'd be first in line. Mm-hmm. Apple unveils... The iPhone Duo, it's called. It's $2,000. For the phone? Yes. [01:41:25] Wow. [01:41:26] [SPEAKER_03] I mean, what the fuck? It's its first foldable iPhone. [01:41:29] [SPEAKER_05] Well... [01:41:30] [SPEAKER_03] And a new head honcho to pitch the company's latest pricey gadget. The tech giant's newly minted chief executive, John Ternus, unveiled the iPhone Duo in his first keynote since replacing Tim Cook as CEO on September 1st. It will start at $1,998. An eye-watering markup was nevertheless slightly lower. This is going to cause a lot more crime, too. The iPhone is? They're going to steal... Everybody's going to try and steal them off, people. If it's worth two grand? Guess how much my Galaxy's worth? [01:42:01] [SPEAKER_03] $1,499. Yeah. I noticed you got a new sticker on it. It's pretty cool. Yeah. [01:42:08] [SPEAKER_04] Not a new case, but a new sticker. [01:42:09] [SPEAKER_03] The priciest version... There's a more expensive one. ...of the Duo with two terabytes of memory. Starts at $3,199. Who's doing this? I want to see. Does any termite have one? I'm not judging. I don't know if they're out yet. Spend your money on what you want to... They're not out yet. I don't... It doesn't really say. What's it called? When is the release? They revealed it. [01:42:33] [SPEAKER_05] Of iPhone. [01:42:34] [SPEAKER_03] First ever foldable... Are we... Why do people want to go back to that? What's it called? Duo. Duo. You can pre-order it on October 16th. Oh, availability begins October 23rd. [01:42:48] [SPEAKER_05] Mm-hmm. [01:42:48] [SPEAKER_03] So, the crime won't happen until Christmas. Right. Mm-hmm. Apple shares went down 2% immediately after the event. When he presented it. It's foldable, poseable, and standable. You won't even... Why does everybody want to go back to flip phones? Why? My brother said it's because some of his friends... I don't... I will not... I don't even know whom he hangs out with. that if you're doing sneaky text to sneaky people, you want the phone to close. [01:43:17] [SPEAKER_03] If you're having an affair. Yeah. Exactly. Mm-hmm. Um... It's... It looks interesting. Well, it's pretty. [01:43:25] [SPEAKER_05] Yeah. [01:43:27] [SPEAKER_03] The iPhone 18 Pro is priced at $1,200. So, you can get that instead. I have a Pro. I love it. It's actually a good camera. I don't have the 18. I don't care enough. Is that out yet, though? It didn't say in there. Standby. I don't know. Yep. It is. Oh. Mm-hmm. Well, you should go get that. [01:43:48] [SPEAKER_04] I'm gonna get you one for Christmas. [01:43:50] [SPEAKER_03] No. [01:43:51] [SPEAKER_04] Can you, as an aside, please tell them about calling Dax on an airplane? [01:43:55] [SPEAKER_03] Oh! Here's the power of a galaxy. I've never heard of this. T-Mobile. Boom! So, I... Um... I needed to ask Dax a question, and I thought, well, he's usually off in the day. I... He's the fantastic drummer of Cheap Trick. He has an iPhone. We text mostly, but I actually wanted to speak to him about this. And he answered, and he goes, hello. But he was kind of whispering. And it was kind of like that. I go, oh shit, where are you? [01:44:24] [SPEAKER_03] He goes, I've never had... I've never been able to take a call in the air. He was flying to New York, and he was just shocked his phone did it. I was shocked. I didn't know I was calling him in the sky. I just... I thought... And then I was like, huh. And I was like, pfft. He broke up a lot, and then he... It fell off. It's pretty impressive that your galaxy can connect. Secret pot. Especially on American. That's right. This is a... We'll save that one for next week. Funny. [01:44:54] [SPEAKER_03] I'm gonna save that one. Okay, this is a big deal. Okay. The Anthropic guy, all these people at Anthropic, which is one of the AI companies, and then the other ones, and all three of the major, Elon, Sam, whomever, and that other guy, the heads of it all. [01:45:11] [SPEAKER_05] Mm-hmm. [01:45:12] [SPEAKER_03] They all say AI could kill us within 10 years. Clearly something has happened, and it has scared the shit out of them. Or, as my brother said, maybe, because they all took giant loans for this, they don't want to pay back any of the money, and now they're threatening the government, saying, this shit can kill us. We need more money. You need to give us money so we can fix this because this computer will kill you. But I've seen videos of where [01:45:41] [SPEAKER_03] what we don't want is the AI to start thinking on its own and making decisions, and it is currently doing that. So then you think, well, how does the world end? Well, how does it gonna... Oh, how's that look in 10 years? Well, go back to old Jack Madigan's thing with terrorism. Let's say you reprogram the Hoover Dam, and boom, the dam explodes. Well, Southern California has no water, Arizona has no water, New Mexico. [01:46:10] [SPEAKER_03] And there's flooding. That's what I mean. There's flooding, but you also don't have drinking water. Or the nuclear codes, if those are actually written down somewhere, and someone has put them in a computer, if it decides, fuck it, do it, I don't know. I mean, I could see, though, I know this is a poor man's version of this, but my dad used to always scream, because I have Sonos speakers in here, [01:46:36] [SPEAKER_03] and then the system goes through Amazon, I think. But sometimes, sometimes she talks without being spoken to. It's creepy. She does. I'm not sure where the latter is. What? Whoa! What? Why is yours a Brit? I don't know. I don't know how to change it. She sounds smart, though, so I like it. Okay. With the accent. It's a little, you know, flair. [01:47:05] [SPEAKER_03] They're saying that AI could kill us in 10 years. They're racing, they're gambling with our lives, so what they are calling for, the three heads of it, Elon, Sam, and the other one, is to slow it all down. Clearly, something has happened, or it's a ploy to get more money. One of the two. And, there, and Trumpy is saying, nope, full speed ahead, we gotta beat China to the punch. I don't know, [01:47:31] but, [01:47:32] [SPEAKER_03] but if it's all AI, I do, could it, I could see it going fast enough. Yeah. It's, look how far it's come in six months. Right. But it's also wrong. There's wrong shit on there. Like, chat, GBT, keeps online trying to get you to do your family tree. I get all these prompts. Check your family tree, check your family tree, check your family tree. Got it. So I just put in my name. Mm-hmm. [01:48:01] [SPEAKER_03] I would be a little different than normal people because there's a lot about me online. Mm-hmm. You know, Wikipedia, a million, 35 years of press stories and all that. There's a lot to gather from. Right. I'm not, wouldn't be your normal person in that respect. But, it came back with a family tree that's wrong. It's gathering because Wikipedia had shit on there that was wrong. Gotcha. At one point, it said I was married to Carrot Top and I just left it up there. [01:48:31] [SPEAKER_03] I don't control Wikipedia. He's fun. I don't know. He's totally fun. Yeah. Yeah. We could have little redheaded children. I just never corrected that. [01:48:42] [SPEAKER_04] So it's like a data scrubber in that sense. [01:48:44] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah. Yeah. So now I don't know for normal people if you want to try that. [01:48:49] [SPEAKER_05] Mm-hmm. [01:48:50] [SPEAKER_03] See if it's right. That's crazy. I don't think it, there's a lot it doesn't understand. And it's just all, I feel like all AI is doing is already gathering on the information we all have put in a computer and then making a conclusion or a summary. A summary would be a better. But all these kids that are using it for homework papers and shit, I'm like, do you understand it's wrong a lot. [01:49:13] [SPEAKER_04] You're not burning. [01:49:14] [SPEAKER_03] No, they picked up shitty facts and kept going with them. Wow. Yeah. Here we go. Burning man. This headline, okay, you will never see me at Coachella, you will never see, I won't ever be in anything in the desert. [01:49:33] [SPEAKER_02] No. No. [01:49:34] [SPEAKER_03] I will go to Bonnaroo when it comes back. I'll go to Bonnaroo when it comes back because it's only an hour and a half from my front door and I have secret sneaky passes, I can do what I want. Nice. And I'm old so I should be able to, I've earned those. Fun. And it's just, I understand the Tennessee weather. I don't, the burning man will die. Here's a headline. Burning man has become a wrinkled sausage fest of aging millennial men. [01:50:00] [SPEAKER_04] Sausage fest. [01:50:01] [SPEAKER_03] I know. But he's also getting on in years. Burning man, the nine day celebration of art, music, and anarchist hijinks in the Nevada desert has been steadily shrinking since the 2019 peak. That's pre-COVID. But the share of their people in their 40s and 50s is on the rise. The number of free, free loving revelers to flocking to the playa where each year cities built on bare sand and raised after a week of drug fueled clothing optional party. Okay, [01:50:31] [SPEAKER_03] none of that appeals to me. I don't want drugs and I want to keep my clothes on. Dipped to about 70,000 last year after peaking close to 8,000. Mmm, they're 10,000 short. The oldies are proving they have more stamina than the kids, however. In 2014, burners made up 30%. [01:50:50] [SPEAKER_02] The oldies. [01:50:51] [SPEAKER_03] That number pledged more than 15% than half by 2025. This lady said she's 41. She attended in 2023 when a rainstorm flooded the camps and turned the exotic route into an impassable muddy mess. She called one young influencer saying, this is not like Coachella at all. It's really out of one's comfort zone. Even if you have a comfy camp, [01:51:21] [SPEAKER_03] maybe millennials and Gen Xers have a higher tolerance for discomfort? Yeah. We do. Yes, we do. Men, historically, outnumber the women. Yeah. Yeah. The lines, the traffic getting in and out. No, no, no, no, no. It's when you get old, you've been there, done that. I've done that for a million things. You know what? The other one that's getting really old is bikers. Like Sturgis. Just in general? [01:51:51] [SPEAKER_03] No, like actual Harley riders, blah, blah, blah. Like my brother said, there's the douchebag 40, 50 something, the doctors are their stockbrokers and they want to think they're cool and so they get a Harley that they don't know how to drive and try to learn it. But like I had, I was always impressed that Jay Leno always, he loves motorcycles and he loves cars. He was the leader of the Sturgis biker, the biggest biker thing. That's fun. But I had to drive [01:52:20] [SPEAKER_03] to Deadwood so I went through Sturgis because I wanted to see the famous stuff and I just wanted to see the biker guy. I love my biker bar here and I love my biker guys. I just wanted to see a massive amount of it. [01:52:33] Yeah, [01:52:34] [SPEAKER_03] there's nobody under 50. Oh! That whole, you know, freedom thing. What was that movie with Jack Nicholson and that guy? I was too little. [01:52:46] [SPEAKER_04] Something Rider, Easy Rider. [01:52:47] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah, Easy Rider, those guys are all 75 now. And their hemorrhoids hurt from being on a motorcycle all day. Yeah, there's a lot of limping, there's a lot of, it is not, it is not a young person's game anymore. [01:53:04] [SPEAKER_04] Gotcha. [01:53:06] [SPEAKER_03] By the way, at Burning Man 2, this is the other thing, when your festival starts to become old people, I mean, this isn't funny, but a third person died, but how do we know that person didn't just die that day? [01:53:22] Wow. [01:53:23] [SPEAKER_03] I mean. And if you're old and it's too hot and you have heart problems, I mean, this is the problem with doing it in extreme environments when everyone's getting old. Mm-hmm. Yeah. [01:53:34] [SPEAKER_05] You're right. [01:53:34] [SPEAKER_03] Third one that died, they don't even know why he was rushed to Reno. It's not immediately clear. I don't know what happened. It was 60. Okay. 60 degrees? He was 60. Oh. I mean, this is what I'm saying, by 60 you can have heart issues and this and that and you're in a desert doing drugs or maybe not or drinking, I don't know what everyone's doing. And there's no doctors. Another, the other guy died, he was in his mid-50s, that's what I'm saying, it's not for the children anymore. Gotcha. It's the old people. [01:54:05] [SPEAKER_03] Sausage fest makes me laugh. I know. It's so dumb. Um, this is crazy. Dear all French people, Oh boy. especially those in the art world, get your security straight. No, no. Okay? Renoir paintings. Renoir. Renoir. Um, they were stolen in a French Riviera museum. Four of them. They dropped one on the way out. Four? Yep. [01:54:35] [SPEAKER_03] They just walked in and took them off the walls. I mean, what are we doing, people? Come on. We can't have these things disappearing from the landscape of America, of the world, I mean. [01:54:46] [SPEAKER_02] No. [01:54:46] [SPEAKER_03] Um, they broke into a small museum in southern France and stole artwork worth millions made by the legendary painter Pierre-Auguste Noir. Local authorities said that less than a year after the High-Priole Louvre museum heist, which they stole more than $100 million worth of French crown jewels. How, how do we, surveillance cameras captured the two thieves fleeing and they abandoned, they abandoned at two of the [01:55:16] [SPEAKER_03] paintings in the museum's garden as they ran. So they dropped two. Wow. Um, the value is around $10 million. 10 million? Yep. The ones they kept. [01:55:26] [SPEAKER_04] Do you think they're in Russia already? [01:55:29] [SPEAKER_03] Saudi Arabia? Yeah. It was early Tuesday morning, the police responded five minutes after the alarms were triggered. Five minutes? [01:55:41] [SPEAKER_04] What? This all sounds like an inside job. Probably. You know? Probably. I think. [01:55:46] [SPEAKER_03] A tiny museum? Yeah. This is kind of weird. Nike has spent nearly 18 years in the S&P 100. Now one of the world's most recognizable brands is being removed from the index. After reaching an all-time high in 2021, Nike's stock has fallen dramatically as the company navigates weaker sales, growing competition, brand pressure, and a challenging turnaround. But, yeah. [01:56:21] [SPEAKER_03] I never know how to say that. My friend Mark. On? On? There's like a million. [01:56:27] [SPEAKER_02] Yeah. [01:56:28] [SPEAKER_03] Like leisure shoes that have overtaken it, that look better, they're more subtle, they don't have a giant shooge. When I go to New York and see the flagship store, I'm like, I've gone in. Yeah. Okay, great. It's huge. You have a running bra, great, sports bra, and pants. They have a lot of running bras. Here's the thing, I already own all that. So what am I buying here? Nothing new? Well, I think shoe, what do they call them? People who love shoes. [01:56:59] [SPEAKER_03] I don't know, Imelda Marcos? That's what they call them. We sound old. What do they call people who love shoes? [01:57:07] [SPEAKER_04] People who are shoe whores. No, the people that collect shoes. They're into it. [01:57:12] [SPEAKER_03] I've never heard that that's a thing. Okay. All right. Well, I just think Nike needs to think of something different completely because it's all the same shit. Everybody already bought whatever they were going to buy. It's all at TJ Maxx. It's all at Marshall's to get your suit. There's nothing to it. Their golf attire is horrible. They are dressing the golfers out there. Scotty Scheffler could not look more boring. I'm not saying Scotty is kind of boring, so he probably likes it. Yeah. [01:57:41] [SPEAKER_03] But Rory, all the ones that are sponsored by Nike, boring, horrible. Strangely cut. Very weird. Yeah, the cuts are bad. Go look at Adidas. Their shit is awesome for the guys and the girls, really. I don't know. There's so many Lululemon, Athleta that are surpassing them as what people think of sportswear, sporting clothing. Yeah. Not Nike. [01:58:05] [SPEAKER_02] As Amy would call it, athletic wear. [01:58:08] [SPEAKER_03] That's right. See, this is why I'm not fabulous. I'm always seven words off the pace. Gym clothes. Yeah, that's what I would call them. Gym clothes. Need some gym clothes. Yeah. Love it. This is, yayo, yayoy, I know what I'm not saying right, but I am saying her last name right. Kusuma, the polka dot artist, died at 97 in Tokyo a couple weeks ago. And if you don't know who she is, she voluntarily would check herself into psychiatric wards. [01:58:37] [SPEAKER_03] She was crazy and she knew it. And the only thing she could do to get the craziness out of her head was paint polka dots. And she has created the most spectacular, they freaked me out. She says polka dots are the only thing that represent infinity because they never stop. [01:58:56] [SPEAKER_04] I never thought about that. And they're repetitive. That's cool. [01:58:58] [SPEAKER_03] Cindy Lauper, when I went to go see that show here in Nashville, she dedicated a whole song, song and set and clothing. We should post that. For the polka dot thing. [01:59:09] [SPEAKER_04] You mean when Cindy Lauper held your hand and sang with you for a minute? She slayed. It was crazy. [01:59:14] [SPEAKER_03] And yeah, I was just standing there. Fabulous. She said, here's the other thing. She was 97. She just died. she's about the same time as Andy Warhol and those guys. And a lot of people said he ripped some shit off from her. And what he did rip off, for sure, is her idea of repetition. Like, she would just paint a polka dot and then a million of them, but a million. Like, each tiny photograph. But repetition [01:59:44] [SPEAKER_03] was her thing. A big, big part of her thing. And then all of a sudden, Andy Warhol, who I do love and I love the museum in Pittsburgh, all of a sudden, he did the repetition. Four in a row of the silkscreen thing. Boom, boom, boom. I'm just saying, I do think that was her thing and it kind of got, in the spirit of we're all sharing, got a little lifted. Hard to prove though. It's like stand up being lifted, hard to prove. She was in and out of psychiatric institutions for decades, [02:00:13] [SPEAKER_03] although her sickness had not hold her back as she was one of the first women to go to New York to pursue her art in 1957. She enjoyed fame. She lived in [02:00:24] [SPEAKER_04] New York, I didn't know that. I thought she was international, I don't know why. [02:00:28] [SPEAKER_03] She signed on with famous brands like Louis Vuitton as well as other licensed products like teacups, t-shirts. Once you see it, you'll know it. I didn't even know her name though. And I do know more than average duck about the art world. Oh my guard. They auctioned her work in 2008 for 5.8 million. Yep. She did have some racist things. There are not a positive addition to her resume. But I also go, well, she's checking herself into psych wards like [02:00:58] [SPEAKER_03] every five months. So maybe she was just trying to get a handle on stuff. Saying stuff she should not have been saying. Or maybe she really felt that way. I don't know. When she arrived in New York the fad was action painting characterized by dribbles swooshes and smears not dots. She suffered years of poverty and obscurity but she kept painting dots. Here's what's crazy too. She wrote a letter to Georgia O'Keeffe. She has zero money and only ate like a pretzel a day or some shit because she had no money. She wrote [02:01:28] [SPEAKER_03] a letter to Georgia O'Keeffe and she got it and called her and said let me fly you out here. She went out to Georgia O'Keeffe's ranch. No way. Yeah. That's cool. Yeah. She befriended you know what's his face and then he's like oh maybe she's crazy maybe I'll just steal that idea. We're not putting that out there. I don't know. No. But go look at her stuff even if you don't care about art. It's just fascinating. [02:01:57] [SPEAKER_04] It's real pretty. I love everything. [02:01:59] [SPEAKER_03] Her clothes have polka dots. Everything. Like to think people who have a lot of anxiety and all these problems the one thing that's going to fix it as long as she can paint dots. Just strange. [02:02:11] [SPEAKER_04] Imagine that. No. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, Over and [02:02:14] [SPEAKER_03] over and over and over and over. Rooms of them. I mean whole building. She'd cover the whole building if you're given enough time and paint. All right. Here's what we're learning. They take black history out. We're putting it back in. Love this lady. I wish I could have met her. Anybody who has GPS, you know what you can thank for that? Gladys West, little tiny black lady. Nice. Yeah, she's super tiny. She died [02:02:44] [SPEAKER_03] in January at the age of 95. She'd grown up in Virginia walking three miles a day to a segregated one room school with a leak roofing and one underpaid teacher. She finished the top of her class, took the scholarship that came with it, and in 1956 joined the Naval Service Warfare Center as the second black woman ever hired there, one of four black employees on the base. She stayed 42 years. Her work with the shape of the Earth, models of the planet's gravitational field and surface redefined with data from the CSAT [02:03:14] [SPEAKER_03] and geostat radar satellites accurate enough to say where a satellite actually was rather than roughly where it ought to be. Wow. She got married, she met her husband, another mathematician, they had three children and seven grandchildren. So anytime you use your GPS, you say thank you to Gladys. Nice. Yep, little tiny lady, little cute suit, adorable, just adorable. Fun. [02:03:43] [SPEAKER_03] Almost nobody knew her name. She grew up to measure the planet and every time your phone finds you, that is her. Her name was Gladys West, the mathematician that made GPS possible. [02:03:53] [SPEAKER_04] I like that she had the throwback name. [02:03:55] [SPEAKER_03] Gladys. I know, yeah, Gladys. [02:03:58] [SPEAKER_04] Hey, Gladys. [02:03:59] [SPEAKER_03] All right. Let's do some Spanish. What are we learning today? Because if I want to get to know somebody, what sports do you like? That's important to me. [02:04:09] [SPEAKER_04] Oh, yeah. Especially this time of year. [02:04:11] [SPEAKER_03] Que deportes ti gustan? There it is. Que deportes ti gustan? Gustan. Gustan. Gustan? I listen to it and then I forget it. That's okay. I do. I don't know. Let's go over a couple more we used to know. I was clarifying. Donde esta la barra? I love it. Donde esta la playa? Did you use it in Texas? No. No. Okay. Me encanta este hotel? I love this hotel. Just repeating these things. Mm-hmm. Tienes seguro medico? Do you have [02:04:40] [SPEAKER_03] health insurance? Very important to know if you're going to date someone, people. Yes. Especially young people. Quanto dinero gana? How much money do you make? There we go. We're not staying dumb here. No. Where's my grammar lady? Sarah? That's a good one. Sarah and Gladys. Ah. I don't know that many people would confuse those. So hold on. No, that one's too hard. [02:05:11] [SPEAKER_03] Okay. This is good. Bad language. Okay. When I say bad, I'm not talking about a moral failing. I just mean that when you use these words, you will make some people cringe, shudder, or judgely harsh, or judge you harshly. And I'm sure you would prefer to avoid all that. A lot. I did have to learn a lot in journalism school. Yeah. So first, she writes it as one word. Okay. A lot of people write this word, but they shouldn't. It's two words. It's two words. I have a lot of cats, and they shed a lot of fur, and I do a lot [02:05:41] [SPEAKER_03] of sneezing. Espresso. Oh, my God. This is one of mine. There is no X in espresso. Yes, Merriam-Webster different is now calling the common mistake a variant, but you're better than that. Take your espresso with the three S's and hold the X. Espresso. Irregardless, made famous by George Bush Jr. Even though this malpropia made its way into the Merriam-Webster Dictionary [02:06:11] [SPEAKER_03] in 1934, you're better off avoiding it. Instead, just use regardless. Don't say irregardless. I hate that. Irregardless. Yeah, I didn't even think the dictionary is now allowing for it. It wasn't allowed when I was young. Right. I don't know. They would say no. That's not a word. Let's get our saint. Get this one going. Fun. Um, oh, hold on. Sometimes I fold too many papers. [02:06:42] [SPEAKER_03] No. We should, [02:06:44] [SPEAKER_05] um, pull them out. I know. And paper pull them. [02:06:52] [SPEAKER_03] Oh. Oh, no, I think I already did that one. Hold on. Stay with me, Thomas. This is it. I folded the paper. Yeah. Now I can't get it back out. Irregardless of what I want to do, here's what I'm going to do. [02:07:07] [SPEAKER_05] Um, no. God dang it. Shit. Give me one more second. [02:07:19] [SPEAKER_03] Um. You have the mic. Oh, here we go. Mm-hmm. The feast of Saint Januarius. Ooh. Blood boiling martyr to year 305. Patron state of blood banks, nail makers, Naples, invoked against the evil eye and volcanic eruptions. [02:07:37] Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Mm-hmm. [02:07:40] [SPEAKER_03] Bishop Januarius was beheaded. He was beheaded after wild lions refused to touch him and he had emerged from a burning furnace unharmed. Uh. a curious aside, Saint Augustine probated his will. In the 5th century, Naples inherited his, in the 5th century, Naples inherited his relics, including two vials of blood, which had been collected by followers. In 1389, over a thousand years after his death, a priest holding [02:08:09] [SPEAKER_03] the flask of his coagulated blood noticed the contents beginning to bubble and liquefy. Oh. Oh. Since the blood boils whenever it is close to proximity to the bus containing the part of his skull, the standing miracle repeats itself on various feast days 18 times a year, except during times of strife, famine, oppression, or election of a communist. Specifically? The liquefaction is inconsistent, [02:08:38] [SPEAKER_03] sometimes bubbling furiously, sometimes sluggishly, and the colors vary from dull rust to vivid crimson. If the blood does nothing during the ceremony, spectators, particularly a group of excited women known as the Ants of San Gennaro have been known to shout, boil, boil, boil, damn you. Oh my God. They want that thing, huh? Wow. There you go. That's say January-ist. I never heard about that guy. Phew. All right. We do a Dolly quote and then termites, [02:09:08] [SPEAKER_03] it's time to go. I have to go downtown, [02:09:10] which I hate. [02:09:12] [SPEAKER_04] Are you doing something fun though? [02:09:13] [SPEAKER_03] No, I have to go run errands and shit. Yeah. Boom. Okay. This is Dolly reflecting on her femininity in an interview with Elle magazine. I've been fortunate in my life that my being a girl kind of helped me along the way and being from a strong family of men and women, I'm never afraid to stand on my own or just say, go to hell if that's where you needed to go. There you go. Wow. I like it. [02:09:43] [SPEAKER_03] All right, termites, we'll see you out on the road. What's our feel-good story? Oh, I didn't really get one this week. That's okay. Yeah. You know what your feel-good story is? Your trifecta. My feel-good story is my fantasy football tape. And then I've got I've got Kate Walker. And then I took the Gigantes to beat the Cowboys. That's crazy. Stephen A. Smith [02:10:13] [SPEAKER_03] came out. He was so excited. He sneaks in and he goes, how about them Cowboys? I literally wait for it like a child waiting for a birthday. Christmas. Yeah. [02:10:25] How about them Cowboys? Yes. [02:10:29] [SPEAKER_03] And then they all, everybody on the show, because before, this is the last thing I'll say, before the Sunday night game, there's like five guys that all know what they're talking about. You know, ex-coaches and all this shit. And they all, you have to make your pick. And only one took the Giants. And I thought, maybe I'm wrong, but I think the Cowboys are always overhyped. Yep. Here we go. And you won. [02:10:54] [SPEAKER_05] And I won. [02:10:56] [SPEAKER_03] I lost. Sorry to hear that. All right. All right, tournaments. I gotta keep going. Love you guys. See you down the road. [02:11:04] [SPEAKER_04] Bye-ya! Hey, hey, hey, hey. Night, night. This weekend. Tarrytown. [02:11:08] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah. We already talked about it. [02:11:09] [SPEAKER_04] Tarrytown. At Hershey. Hershey, yeah. They're sold out. All right. [02:11:12] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah. They may drop tickets at the very end, but right now, as far as I know, they're sold out. So thank you in advance to Tarrytown tournaments. Thank you in advance. Best regards. Thank you in advance. Best regards. I remain. No, here's two ways. The nun signed off all letters, yours in Christ, comma, sister whomever. And my dad's lawyer sign off was, I remain very truly yours, John P. Madigan Jr., attorney at law. [02:11:34] [SPEAKER_04] Nice. [02:11:35] [SPEAKER_03] So I send my emails to Patrick like that. I either put yours in Christ. If it's gambling, it's usually yours in Christ. If it's something that hurts my head, I write Iron Man very truly yours, your sister. All right. [02:11:48] Night, night, termite. [02:11:50] [SPEAKER_03] Or, night, night, termite.
