Speaker 1:
[00:09] Hey everybody, it's me, Kathleen Madigan. Welcome to Madigan's Pubcast. You grab yourself a drink, pull up a bar stool, let's talk about what's been going on. Termites, welcome.

Speaker 2:
[00:25] Welcome to episode 270. It's Queen Stevie.

Speaker 1:
[00:29] We're gonna be talking about her. Talking about many, many, many, many things. What a fun weekend. And I can't wait for this weekend in Boston. We'll go back in time though. What am I drinking? Evil Czech, I love it. Look, it's a chipmunk with an ax. It's Evil Chipmunk Indian Pale Ale. From the Czech Berry, which is Indiana.

Speaker 3:
[00:53] Yep.

Speaker 1:
[00:55] Mishakawa. No, I don't know how to say that.

Speaker 3:
[00:57] You just made them Japanese.

Speaker 1:
[00:59] It is M-I-S-H-A-W-A-K-A. Mishakawa, Indiana. So where did I get that?

Speaker 3:
[01:06] From an Indiana.

Speaker 1:
[01:07] So Indiana term I brought it to the show.

Speaker 3:
[01:09] Probably.

Speaker 1:
[01:09] That's nice. Okay. And what are we eating? Well, since we were in Graham Rapids, they have their own cheese curls. Yes, these were brought by termite, Tom, termite Lauren, and her kitty Walter.

Speaker 3:
[01:21] Oh, nice.

Speaker 1:
[01:22] I've already tasted them. Truth be told, I'm starving. And they're great. They're as good as Cheetos, but maybe better.

Speaker 3:
[01:29] Nice.

Speaker 1:
[01:29] Picture a Cheeto, but an upgrade, if you will.

Speaker 3:
[01:32] Upgrading Cheetos.

Speaker 1:
[01:35] It's funny to have a cat named Walter. I should have thought more about my cat's names.

Speaker 3:
[01:40] I like them. They make sense.

Speaker 1:
[01:42] Cheeto is too close to Chapo. I'm not sure they understand the difference. Baby cat knows she's a baby cat, but these are great.

Speaker 3:
[01:49] You think Chapo comes on command?

Speaker 1:
[01:52] He does.

Speaker 3:
[01:52] No.

Speaker 1:
[01:53] Baby cat does. She's like a dog. She also knows that she wants inside, she better listen. And that's all she cares about.

Speaker 3:
[01:59] I know.

Speaker 1:
[02:00] And then if I leave for the weekend and my friend Aubrey helps, then she wants inside. If it's raining, if there's any disruptions, even if it's 75 and sunny, she's like, I'll go out for a while.

Speaker 3:
[02:10] Oh my God.

Speaker 1:
[02:11] No, she's the other Tuca Carla. They like being out. They like coming in for a while.

Speaker 3:
[02:15] So not feral.

Speaker 1:
[02:18] Cedric's feral. Cedric got some more medicine. It's just not working. Somebody emailed me and Curtis the vet agreed he's old. He has bad teeth. They're probably infected. And so when he eats initially, he has this exorcism of just, it's awful. Cause I think it hurts. So I'm going to try and catch him. After I do all these gigs, I have time off. And then I don't, he still has his claws, so he can still hunt and protect himself. But these infected teeth are going to kill him. So anyway, I know everybody has opinions and gets mad about whatever you do, but that's what the vet said. Okay. Here's Black Magic Brownies from Boston Turmite, whose name starts with an S. Oh, yeah, I couldn't read the card. I couldn't read it was S something, but it's also with Ann Arbort Turmite Margaret.

Speaker 3:
[03:07] So it had a spill on it. Not their fault.

Speaker 1:
[03:11] Oh, wow. Are they regular brownies? I don't know why.

Speaker 3:
[03:16] I hope so, or this podcast is going to get weird.

Speaker 1:
[03:18] Oh, yeah, I know. My brother's dog ate a prop already once.

Speaker 2:
[03:25] Everything about that is bad.

Speaker 1:
[03:26] You shouldn't eat chocolate. I don't know why my brother had one out. And Lukey was a long haired red dachshund. If Lukey got outside, and if he could be gone, he'd always be gone. He would run. But my brother said he came home, and Lukey was laying in the front yard, which would be unheard of. He would usually be four miles away by them. And just his eyes were closed, and he was just feeling the wind. That's how high he was from the brownie. And then Patrick took him inside, and he couldn't figure out how to do the steps, because he was too stoned. So Patrick had to like walk him up. And he said, I just gave up and let him lay down.

Speaker 3:
[04:01] But I don't know if that made me laugh. Stoned puppy.

Speaker 1:
[04:05] Better Made BBQ All Dressed Chips from Turmite Marissa came to Late Show and Royal Oak. Both shows were great. All shows were great in Michigan. Thank you, thank you, thank you Michigan Turmites. All sold out. This is a Canadian Upper North American ketchup.

Speaker 3:
[04:23] They love Better Made.

Speaker 1:
[04:25] They are good. They're just strong ketchup taste. If it says all dressed, this says up. Usually it just says dress. Maybe it's the American version.

Speaker 3:
[04:34] Better Made Snacks.

Speaker 1:
[04:35] Detroit.

Speaker 3:
[04:36] Oh, Detroit.

Speaker 1:
[04:36] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[04:37] That's why.

Speaker 1:
[04:38] It's good.

Speaker 3:
[04:38] Funny enough, you were there.

Speaker 1:
[04:39] I give them a B plus.

Speaker 3:
[04:40] Since 1930.

Speaker 2:
[04:42] Jesus.

Speaker 1:
[04:44] Good for them. Good for you.

Speaker 2:
[04:45] Good for you.

Speaker 3:
[04:46] Yeah, this depression.

Speaker 1:
[04:47] Upcoming shows. This Weekend, Boston. Two shows, Friday and Saturday. I think it's sold out, but who knows? They drop tickets in the end. May 2nd, Biluxi.

Speaker 3:
[04:57] I'm so excited.

Speaker 1:
[04:57] I can't see the weather yet. Tomorrow, I can see the weather will be then.

Speaker 3:
[05:01] Nice.

Speaker 1:
[05:01] Because I want to go golf. May 9th, The Venetian, Las Vegas. Very exciting. Sadly, I will miss Cindy Lauper because I was hoping to maybe go see that. I know, but she's done. May 16th, Ozark Amphitheater, Camden to Mizzert, Laughing on the Lake Comedy Festival with the headliner, not me, Burt Crusher. Fun. June 26th and 27th, Knoxville. Makeup show and additive show. July 18th, Selbyville, Delaware. And Kelly McFarlane will be with me this weekend. Should we also be in Selbyville?

Speaker 3:
[05:34] Fun.

Speaker 1:
[05:35] Yeah. So if you like Kelly, very, very funny. Never ever, ever has a shitty show. Funny, funny, funny.

Speaker 3:
[05:45] All right.

Speaker 1:
[05:45] Let's move on to... Well, Grand Rapids, if you... A lot of people were asking the opener's name. It was Andrew Stanley. If you're looking for him, that's who opened the shows. Detroit, I could not believe though, it was still so cold up there and it's going to be cold in Boston. And I'm like, I already put that shit away. I don't have my big, big coat. Sunday morning, it said frozen mix. I'm like, really?

Speaker 3:
[06:07] Frozen mix?

Speaker 1:
[06:08] Yeah. It was like slushy.

Speaker 3:
[06:10] That's crazy.

Speaker 1:
[06:11] Yeah. But the shows were great. Grand Rapids is always fun. There's a lot of flooding going on up there. So buckle down Michigan people. If somebody puts more sandbags out, I'm like, this river doesn't... It's questionable. We don't care. Or we just know we got a plan. I don't know. I left and went to Detroit. I love Detroit. Always, always fun. And a little work news. Well, it's not really my work, but... So the old radio show Bob & Tom, I did it for years and years and years, and Bob was always my favorite and Bob sadly has passed away. So if you ever listen to Bob & Tom shows, yeah, Bob... He passed away, so I heard that up in Detroit. That was too bad. I haven't done it in a long time. And I did a couple of their touring shows where they would take, I don't know, four or five of us out on the road. And it was fun. I probably did five of them. Yeah, markets I never did before, so it was fun. Nice. But I love Bob because he just wanted to retire and go fishing. And I'm like, I get it. He didn't need the radio part to make him be famous or whatever. He just wanted to go fishing and hang out with his wife and kids. So well done, Bob.

Speaker 2:
[07:25] It was a very good career.

Speaker 1:
[07:26] Now moving on. I did not have time to go to the Gerald Ford Museum. I wanted to, but I got tied up. So there you go.

Speaker 3:
[07:35] It was flooding.

Speaker 1:
[07:37] I don't really know how I would have gotten to it. Yeah, it was on the other side of the street. Let's see. I'm going to do Queen News, and then we're going to call HollyBobby.

Speaker 3:
[07:45] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[07:46] Okay. Queen. This is crazy. Cher's had a very busy, well.

Speaker 3:
[07:53] She has.

Speaker 1:
[07:53] Well, she filed a second conservator petition for son Elijah Blue after multiple arrests. I just don't, I don't know. He's 50.

Speaker 3:
[08:06] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[08:06] Right.

Speaker 1:
[08:07] 49 or 50.

Speaker 2:
[08:08] I mean, what do we, right.

Speaker 1:
[08:10] And then you think he's just going to, I mean, at least you could save his money if you get a conservative ship.

Speaker 3:
[08:16] And then I think it's about the wife's access to that money, too.

Speaker 1:
[08:20] It could be the girlfriend or the new wife or whatever. He was arrested in New Hampshire on two separate occasions earlier this year. Yeah, they like he caused a disturbance at a prep school, like a high school. He's acting belligerent. It's just bizarre behavior. Like kind of Charlie Sheenie, where you're just waking up in people's houses and you don't know who they are and you're just taking a nap. But like, what the fuck? What are you doing? What are you doing? Then she also found out she has a secret granddaughter. That man, Elijah, her son.

Speaker 3:
[08:53] What?

Speaker 1:
[08:54] Yes. She learned it a year ago, but it's just coming out now. Oh. Yeah, the girl's 15.

Speaker 3:
[09:00] Can you imagine just realizing she shares your grandma?

Speaker 1:
[09:05] And she looks more like the almond side. She doesn't really look like Cher. And the mother of her is the step-grandchild of Julie Andrews. What's going on, LA.?

Speaker 2:
[09:16] Wait.

Speaker 1:
[09:17] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[09:18] Yes.

Speaker 3:
[09:18] Do that again.

Speaker 1:
[09:19] Julie Andrews.

Speaker 2:
[09:20] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[09:21] So the 15-year-old has a mom.

Speaker 3:
[09:22] Yep.

Speaker 1:
[09:23] That's the one Elijah slept with. She is the step-granddaughter of Julie Andrews.

Speaker 3:
[09:29] Step-granddaughter.

Speaker 1:
[09:29] From the sound of music.

Speaker 3:
[09:31] Which means she's not related.

Speaker 1:
[09:33] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[09:33] Step.

Speaker 2:
[09:34] Well, yeah, but whatever.

Speaker 3:
[09:36] She gets to come to Chris.

Speaker 2:
[09:37] She has a lot of pictures of herself with Julie Andrews, and I don't, so let's put it that way.

Speaker 1:
[09:43] She was speechless. Cher was speechless when she found out, said, oh my God, I'm finally a grandma.

Speaker 2:
[09:49] It's a weird way to find out.

Speaker 1:
[09:50] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[09:51] Wanna come into my prom? Sing.

Speaker 1:
[09:55] Other queen news. Martha went to the masters. I did not know more. I could have seen Martha Stewart.

Speaker 3:
[10:00] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[10:00] What? Why wasn't I looking harder?

Speaker 3:
[10:02] I'd have lost my shit.

Speaker 1:
[10:03] Queen Stevie did a show at Thackerville, Oklahoma. There's a million clips online. It just looked absolutely wonderful. She's wearing that's a Griffin's Jersey that I was given along with this Grit City Whiskey in Grand Rapids for the minor league team of who? The Red Wings. Nice.

Speaker 4:
[10:19] They're in the playoffs.

Speaker 1:
[10:20] They're in the playoffs. Everybody's in the playoffs. It's crazy. It's crazy. I might try to go to the Buffalo, the Sabres versus Boston tomorrow night, maybe.

Speaker 3:
[10:32] Nice.

Speaker 1:
[10:32] I don't know. I haven't looked into that, but I won't say who I'm rooting for. You'll have to guess. But I do love hockey and the Sabres haven't been in in like 754 years.

Speaker 3:
[10:44] A million years.

Speaker 2:
[10:45] A million.

Speaker 1:
[10:47] And no news on Dolly. It's been very, very quiet, uncomfortably quiet. I'll see how many updates I have.

Speaker 2:
[10:54] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[10:55] Well, let's do updates. And I'm going to call it Bobby. HollyBobby. So let's talk about the Harkles trip to Australia. Oh, update! Update! Meghan and Harry, H&M, went to Australia. And what a shit show. I cannot stress enough that you have to go watch the show about his great uncle and Wallace Simpson. They're repeating everything to even down to a photograph. Well, Meghan's Retreat that you had to pay $1,900 or even more, $2,500. They didn't... nobody showed up basically. It was an empty ballroom. I didn't even know this. Like I've never thought... I've never seen this happen like at a corporate gig or something. If you want to make your room look bigger, never thought about this. So if you have your round table, say it's an 8-top or 10-top, you only set half the table.

Speaker 3:
[11:50] Oh.

Speaker 1:
[11:50] But you set all the tables.

Speaker 3:
[11:52] Sneaky.

Speaker 1:
[11:52] Yeah, very sneaky-deaky, right? So they were giving them free tickets out left and right. And then she only stayed for two hours. And now people are demanding their money back. Because it was supposed to be a girls weekend. It was implied. This could be a very hairy court case. I don't know. But I think all those girls should get together, all those women, and say this is bullshit. This is how it was advertised. Blah, blah, blah. Apparently she got paid 150 grand. Now I know from looking at a speakers catalog once that I wasn't supposed to look at in a meeting when everybody went to go to the bathroom. I'm like, I'm gonna have a looky-loo and see what people are getting paid here. 150 for that level, it's not great. No. No, no, no, no. There's a lot of people for private gigs getting a lot more than that. So you're already, whether it's right or wrong, or indifferent, I don't know. I know what I was making. It wasn't anything near that. And I actually had to do a show. I had to do shit and I had to meet everybody, get a picture taken with it. Yeah, I had to do things. I had to do things. Harry, then they put up all, they were going to the Sydney Harbor, which I went to. I can't, I won't get it, but I did a bunch of stuff in Australia. It was super fun. And then one of my brothers moved there on an expat day. And then my parents were like, oh, we're coming. And my dad lit a cigarette in the lobby of the Four Seasons. And I'm like, dad, but here's the thing, you could still smoke inside in Australia. He goes, I know you're going to yell at me, but I've already cleared it with the front desk. I'm like, really? Like this was a long time ago, but you could still smoke. It was crazy where you could smoke compared to here. But anyway, they go to the Sydney Harbor. They set up all these barricades and there's no one behind them. There's no one there. So nobody gives a shit. Then they went to the beach. She's wearing clothes that she's also selling on her Shopify or whatever the fuck account it is. I don't know. So that's where the massacre was though. And she's down there basically merchandising the area of a massacre at the beach. But the most epic thing was there was one lady laying out on a beach towel and the security guards were clearly coming that way. And she just wouldn't get up. She could care less. They all had to walk around her. It's epic. She's getting all the attention online. The tickets, I'm sorry, were $3,200 for the elite ones. She left after under two hours and went to a rugby match. Of course she knows nothing. I guarantee you she doesn't even know how to play. I don't even know the rules. And I probably know more about sports. So everybody's pissed off. The whole weekend was shit, as one would have expected. But you got to be paying attention. And speaking of the royal family, we have found Sarah Ferguson, who's on the run.

Speaker 3:
[14:39] She in Dubai?

Speaker 2:
[14:39] No, no.

Speaker 1:
[14:41] She's at a luxurious resort in Austria.

Speaker 3:
[14:44] What?

Speaker 1:
[14:45] These rich people, it just keeps coming. But eventually it doesn't. Eventually the free shit runs out and you need a Plan B. And I don't think she has a Plan B, especially at age whatever, 68 or something like that. She's been found two months after her disgraced ex, Andrew Mountbottom's Windsor arrest. Prior to the shocking sighting, the former duchess had not been spotted publicly in roughly seven months. That's not true. We found her in Ireland. Right. At the day spa there. She's trying to fly under the radar. She wore a dark jacket matching, dark jacket matching pants and glasses in the Austrian ski village. So whose house is this? She's staying at.

Speaker 2:
[15:25] Right.

Speaker 1:
[15:26] Oh, my God, the resort is reported to run visitors 2,700 a night.

Speaker 2:
[15:33] Wow.

Speaker 1:
[15:33] So glad I don't ski. Jesus.

Speaker 3:
[15:36] There's so many reasons.

Speaker 1:
[15:38] Well, that would be the beginning of my hospital build after I fell down the mountain. The area is absolutely beautiful. It's very quiet. So it's a perfect place for a high profile figure such as her to lie low when the heat is on. Oh God. So that's where she's hiding out for now. Where are we going next? Are you paying for that?

Speaker 3:
[15:57] Right.

Speaker 1:
[15:58] Or is she somebody who's just foot in the tab?

Speaker 3:
[16:01] Probably.

Speaker 1:
[16:02] Yep. All right. That's all my updates. We're going to call HollyBobby. Stevie has two more shows, Queen Stevie. If you want to go see her, that's all that's online right now.

Speaker 3:
[16:13] Are you going?

Speaker 1:
[16:14] No, I can't. I got to work. Sadly.

Speaker 3:
[16:16] That's a joke. Oh, then you got to go to the.

Speaker 1:
[16:23] OK. Bob said OK. Bobby's Boots on the Ground for Coachella. Really? Yeah. Well, he didn't go, but he lives in Palm Street. Sometimes he'll help.

Speaker 2:
[16:35] Bobby.

Speaker 4:
[16:36] Oh, what?

Speaker 3:
[16:38] Two bars in Boston have converted their Bill's Bars. They're converting for Games 3 and 4.

Speaker 1:
[16:46] To Sabres?

Speaker 2:
[16:47] Uh-huh.

Speaker 3:
[16:48] Come one, come all. Western New York.

Speaker 1:
[16:51] Oh, that could be really fun, too.

Speaker 3:
[16:56] Wow. Here we go.

Speaker 1:
[17:00] So many options in Boston. So many bars I need to go and get one bowl of clam chowder. And I got to go to Fano Hall and eat my way through the bottom of there.

Speaker 3:
[17:09] Yeah.

Speaker 4:
[17:10] Hola, mias. Oh.

Speaker 3:
[17:13] Hi, mommy.

Speaker 1:
[17:14] Look at you not staying dumb, learning some Spanish. This week, as a matter of fact, we might as well do that. So here's what we've learned before. So you build on it like a stand up. Tienes alcohol. Do you have alcohol? Donde es la barra? Where's the bar? Does the bar have food? Is el barra serve comida? And then at what time does the kitchen close? A que hora cierra the kitchen. Today's sentence is, what time is check in? These are things we would know. Check in. I'm going to do check out next week. Oh, good. Check in is...

Speaker 4:
[17:55] What is it?

Speaker 1:
[17:55] Well, let's say we got there early and we want to check in. It's a que hora es el cheque. A que hora es el cheque.

Speaker 4:
[18:08] Love it.

Speaker 1:
[18:09] We're not staying dumb.

Speaker 3:
[18:10] Otherwise, we're going to the bar.

Speaker 4:
[18:12] No, we're not. But did you know how I addressed you in paddles when I greeted you?

Speaker 2:
[18:16] Hola.

Speaker 1:
[18:17] What did you say?

Speaker 4:
[18:19] Hola, mijas.

Speaker 3:
[18:20] Hola, mijas.

Speaker 1:
[18:21] What's mijas?

Speaker 4:
[18:22] My daughters.

Speaker 2:
[18:23] Oh.

Speaker 3:
[18:28] HollyBobby's a new call leader.

Speaker 1:
[18:29] I like it.

Speaker 4:
[18:31] I like it too because you two are so sweet to talk to.

Speaker 2:
[18:35] Shut up.

Speaker 1:
[18:37] All right, Bobby, you're our boots on the ground for Coachella.

Speaker 4:
[18:40] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[18:41] Weekend two.

Speaker 4:
[18:43] Let me tell you, the weather cooperated, so that was good for the kids, for the children. However, you beat me to it. You sent me that video from our local NBC affiliate on the freeway, Interstate 10. It was a parking lot. I was going to go out there and surprise you and do my own video, and I go, oh shoot, she beat me to it. But it was packed. There were 12, it took people 12 hours to get out of Coachella, which is at the south end of the valley, just to go 20 miles to head back to Los Angeles and Riverside in Orange County. I mean, it was packed, you guys.

Speaker 1:
[19:21] How do they not run out of gas?

Speaker 4:
[19:24] I don't know. And then you saw, I think maybe Clark sent it to you last week, all the Tesla charging stations. It was like a four hour wait.

Speaker 1:
[19:33] Oh, my God.

Speaker 4:
[19:36] I know. I know these children love their music.

Speaker 3:
[19:38] They love their music.

Speaker 1:
[19:41] Well, let's have a gas car. How much is gas for regular now in California?

Speaker 4:
[19:46] It's between $6 and $7 a gallon.

Speaker 1:
[19:48] Oh, my gosh. Well, that would make you want to have the electric car, but I don't want to sit in a four hour wait to charge my battery.

Speaker 4:
[19:56] No, especially when you can do a full charge at a supercharger in 15 to 20 minutes. I mean, and then that's all it takes for my Tesla. And then to wait four hours in a line, it's just like, you might as well just get a room and stay an extra night, right?

Speaker 1:
[20:10] Right. Go to Palm Springs and have fun.

Speaker 4:
[20:14] Yeah, right.

Speaker 1:
[20:16] That's where the children don't think it through. They need mentors. They need mentors to tell them how to part.

Speaker 4:
[20:23] That's what we're doing here, right?

Speaker 1:
[20:24] We're trying. We're trying. If you had enough money to go to Coachella, you have enough money for a Marriott Courtyard. Just saying. Spend one more night. Free breakfast.

Speaker 2:
[20:34] Right. Free breakfast.

Speaker 1:
[20:36] And then you can go down to the Mexican place I like on the main drag there in Palm Springs in the old timey bands out there and you can watch old people with dementia dance.

Speaker 2:
[20:45] It's great.

Speaker 4:
[20:47] You cannot make fun of the old people dancing with dementia there because I had to dance with my mom.

Speaker 2:
[20:53] I know.

Speaker 3:
[20:54] Wonderful.

Speaker 1:
[20:56] Why not take her dancing? Now we have to talk about the surprise guest of Sabrina Carpenter.

Speaker 4:
[21:03] Right. There is an update. It was Madonna, as we all know by now. I am not going to age-shame Madonna for getting out there in her...

Speaker 1:
[21:15] Spandex...

Speaker 4:
[21:16] .if that's what you want to call it. Negligee.

Speaker 1:
[21:18] Negligee. What are you, a thousand years old, grandpa? Who says that? Negligee. Negligee.

Speaker 3:
[21:25] You're jam-jams.

Speaker 4:
[21:26] I'm Gen X, okay?

Speaker 1:
[21:29] You and I are barely Gen X. We made it by like an hour.

Speaker 4:
[21:36] But we still made it.

Speaker 1:
[21:38] I thought...

Speaker 4:
[21:38] We're holding on to it.

Speaker 1:
[21:39] I saw a clip. My favorite Madonna song forever has been Like a Prayer. But I wondered when she came out, did like 2,000 bazillion gay guys' heads explode?

Speaker 4:
[21:52] Yes, they did.

Speaker 1:
[21:55] It's got to be like... It's the leader of our lives, Madonna. Yeah.

Speaker 4:
[22:00] It truly is. And it was her 20th anniversary of performing at Coachella. For the first time. And I think that like Sabrina Carpenter, I think... I really like her because she really knows, you know, her music history. She's a great performer.

Speaker 1:
[22:21] I can't tell you one thing she sings, but I'll go look it up. I know she's popular.

Speaker 4:
[22:25] Yeah, no, totally. She's totally popular. So every time you drink an espresso martini, just think of Sabrina Carpenter.

Speaker 3:
[22:32] Espresso, yes. It's a great song.

Speaker 4:
[22:34] Right, Cuddles?

Speaker 3:
[22:35] Yes, I love it.

Speaker 1:
[22:36] Okay. I'll go listen to it.

Speaker 3:
[22:37] It's a wonderful song.

Speaker 1:
[22:38] And Madonna has a new album coming out too called Confessions on a Dance Floor, part two.

Speaker 3:
[22:45] Confessions and a Negligee.

Speaker 1:
[22:47] Confessions and a Negligee. That'll be in July. Now, I don't have probably, I didn't like a lot of the dance ones she did because I'm not a dance music person, but I imagine the biggest gay bar in the world, the Abbey in West Hollywood, will completely implode that day.

Speaker 3:
[23:04] Yes.

Speaker 4:
[23:04] Oh, totally.

Speaker 3:
[23:05] Yeah.

Speaker 4:
[23:06] I mean, that's where I mean, they're going to have like probably a Madonna dress up, contest or something, the eras, let's borrow the eras were here. I liked Madonna. But yeah, I mean, that album, I really liked it because it had hung up and various good dance music. But wait, before we move off of Madonna, did you hear the news about what happened to her costume?

Speaker 1:
[23:33] Yes, it's missing.

Speaker 4:
[23:35] Yes, and she's really pissed because the other stuff was taken too from her dressing room.

Speaker 1:
[23:43] Here's what I don't understand. Like if I tape a special and I have like a jacket back there or something, I don't even ask for this, but usually there's a wardrobe person and they're supposed to like in case it, you know, your button wraps or, you know, they're there for me, it would only be a case of an emergency. But how come there was no wardrobe security?

Speaker 4:
[24:05] Right.

Speaker 1:
[24:05] Right. That would be like Stevie's Bella Donna cape going missing. I wouldn't stand for it. I would go find it myself. That is just it's ridiculous. Like, I don't understand who left all that shit unattended or did the wardrobe people take it?

Speaker 4:
[24:19] Who knows? It's gone. I don't think she's ever going to get it back. And I don't like people that steal. That's the one thing that I don't like. Like if I am at like 7-Eleven, well, when I used to smoke, I'd go to 7-Eleven. So that's a bad example, but.

Speaker 1:
[24:33] I love 7-Eleven.

Speaker 4:
[24:34] The cashier would give me my change and he accidentally gave me a 20 instead of a dollar back. I go, oh sir, here's your money. Because that's stealing to me.

Speaker 2:
[24:43] Well, right.

Speaker 1:
[24:44] And it's very bad Catholic Karma. You're going to get beaten down for that eventually. Cause you knew it and you didn't do it. You didn't give it back if you don't give it back.

Speaker 2:
[24:53] Totally.

Speaker 4:
[24:54] Talking about icons, have you guys done Queen News yet?

Speaker 1:
[24:59] Yes, I did. Why?

Speaker 4:
[25:02] What do you talk about Cher and the secret granddaughter?

Speaker 1:
[25:05] Yes, I did talk about that. Her name is Ever.

Speaker 3:
[25:09] What?

Speaker 1:
[25:09] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[25:10] Ever?

Speaker 4:
[25:11] And she's Julie Andrews' step-granddaughter.

Speaker 1:
[25:15] I know because her mother is Julie Andrews' step-daughter, not granddaughter, step-daughter. Did you see a picture of Ever?

Speaker 4:
[25:27] I didn't. Is she cute?

Speaker 1:
[25:28] She's very cute, but she looks like the almond side. She doesn't look like Cher. Well, I don't know. I'd have to go see a picture of Cher when she was 15, but I don't know what to think about it. I don't know at all what Cher looks like because there's been a lot done. In a good way, she still looks great, but probably very different. I'd have to go see a picture of Cher at 15.

Speaker 4:
[25:52] There are pictures of Cher, Sonny and Cher at 15, 16, 17.

Speaker 1:
[25:55] Yes, I know.

Speaker 4:
[25:56] Look them up on the internet. She was really pretty. Really, really pretty.

Speaker 1:
[26:00] Yes, and she had fang teeth, which I liked. I wish she wouldn't have got them fixed. I love fang teeth. Like David Bowie had the fang teeth. Loved it.

Speaker 4:
[26:08] I know. That's a weird obsession that you have. I always wonder what's wrong with you.

Speaker 1:
[26:12] Maybe I'll go get mine shaved. Do rich people, rich famous people do that? I'll get my teeth, instead of a grill, like a wrapper, I'll get my teeth shaved into fangs.

Speaker 4:
[26:21] I know just the Hollywood Gantt is to bring it to you.

Speaker 1:
[26:26] Do you have any other scoop for us that is, did you find out, is Cate Blanchett playing Martha Stewart in the biopic?

Speaker 4:
[26:34] She is, she is. I did find that out yesterday. I wanted to make sure I had that in mind. She is attached to the project. It's a script right now. And hopefully it'll be going forward very soon.

Speaker 1:
[26:47] So I'm going to utilize the budget. That's direct from the publicity office of these people?

Speaker 4:
[26:53] That's correct. I'm not going to name names until, you know what else I'll start doing, Kathleen? Paddles. I'll start naming names after June 19th, which is my last day of work here.

Speaker 3:
[27:06] Oh, the teaser.

Speaker 1:
[27:08] Oh, you can start naming names. Here's the thing. I just trust you anyway. But I'm very glad to hear that. When is this going to start being filmed?

Speaker 4:
[27:18] Oh, they don't have a start date. They have to finalize the budget. So once that's finalized, then they can start walking in locations.

Speaker 1:
[27:24] And you give Cate Blanchett all the money. I did The Tonight Show with her. Remember, Bob? And I yelled at you. And then we can move on. But a long time ago, termites, Bob was a segment producer. So he had to go talk to people and say, what stories would you like to tell when you get on the couch? And here's what Jay is going to say. And what do you want to say? And Cate Blanchett, I know she'll never hear this, so I could say it. She was extremely friendly. I've never seen anyone that tall. And she walked like a flamingo. Her legs are so long and skinny. They went first and then I saw legs go by my room and then I saw the torso. But she went out there and told, honestly, it was a very boring story about children's theater in Australia.

Speaker 2:
[28:09] And I go, Bob, this segment is a train wreck and Leno isn't even paying attention.

Speaker 1:
[28:15] And you were like, that's all she wanted to talk about. It's not my fault.

Speaker 2:
[28:21] It's not funny. It's not interesting.

Speaker 1:
[28:25] It is to her or maybe children's theater people. But I remember she got done with this very long story and Jay was like, Yeah, so, okay, we'll be right back.

Speaker 2:
[28:36] He didn't even have one thing to add or subtract.

Speaker 1:
[28:39] But she was very, very nice. Cool.

Speaker 4:
[28:42] She's great. And you know, it's funny because like people like Kate Blanchett, like who are very serious and accomplished actors, yes, he is funny. I've seen her tell funny stories and she's got such a sarcastic sense of humor. I'm like, Kate Blanchett is funny, you know?

Speaker 1:
[28:59] Yes.

Speaker 4:
[29:00] But the other thing too, Kathleen, that was our trick at the Tonight Show. If we knew somebody might have a boring story, we would get a second guest comic to be the funny one.

Speaker 3:
[29:11] We need you to watch.

Speaker 1:
[29:12] Well, sometimes I do think the actor people, they can be funny, but sometimes their stories are kind of disjointed compared to how a comedian would tell that story. You know what I mean? They add a lot of action. They don't edit themselves very well, but she's a great actor, so I'm very excited. I think Martha should be very flattered, very good Coachella rap. Now, are all the children gone? Are there still any in your Starbucks bothering you?

Speaker 4:
[29:40] No, I walked over this morning. They're all gone. Oh, my God. I sent you a text yesterday. I know before you guys move on with the podcast. I texted you Monday morning. I went to the coffee and bagel shop. I have never seen so many hungover people in my life. Usually, when I'm hungover, I can hide it. These people had red crystal eyes. Their hair was disheveled. The young women had their hair pulled back and their makeup was smeared.

Speaker 1:
[30:14] But they were probably doing things we've never done like Molly or whatever the children do these days. I don't know. Were they dirty? Yes.

Speaker 4:
[30:25] They hadn't showered. You could smell that like stale body odor and the cigarettes.

Speaker 1:
[30:30] Well, the line for the shower was ridiculous. I would have just said no and just been dirty. I mean, I know that's gross, but.

Speaker 3:
[30:38] It's gross.

Speaker 1:
[30:38] Well, I'm not standing in a line for three hours to take a shower I could be electrocuted in.

Speaker 3:
[30:44] Fair enough.

Speaker 4:
[30:44] No.

Speaker 1:
[30:45] Not doing it.

Speaker 3:
[30:46] No.

Speaker 4:
[30:47] No. Meanwhile, then you get in your 12-hour car ride back to LA and you smell like shit.

Speaker 3:
[30:52] The whole car.

Speaker 1:
[30:53] The whole car probably reeks. However many are in the car. All right, HollyBobby, next week, I'd like to speak to you about the Devil Wears Prada 2. So if you could do some research on that.

Speaker 4:
[31:04] The premiere was last night in New York and I was watching it on a live feed. It was at Lincoln Center. It was very glamorous.

Speaker 1:
[31:10] Oh, I'm going to have to go look at that. And do you have any upcoming guests on the Kelly Clarkson show that the termites know about that you're excited about?

Speaker 4:
[31:17] Um, let's see, well, I'm excited. I booked this big cash show for Jennifer Lopez's movie. Like, but I know that you don't care for Jennifer Lopez.

Speaker 1:
[31:28] Well, I don't, I just don't care either way. I don't, not against her. Right. I just don't. Jenny from the Black, whatever.

Speaker 4:
[31:34] I love her. Oh, wait, you know who we did take with? Who we all talked about? We taped with Ellen Burston on. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1:
[31:43] Fabulous.

Speaker 4:
[31:44] We talked about on the podcast, she was iconic. I was just like, I'm so glad I booked her.

Speaker 1:
[31:49] Okay. When is that coming on?

Speaker 4:
[31:52] That's going to air on May 5th.

Speaker 2:
[31:57] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[31:58] Send me a text so I don't forget.

Speaker 4:
[31:59] And she has stories about the movies that she made, like the Exorcist, we don't need to live here anymore.

Speaker 1:
[32:04] That's awesome.

Speaker 4:
[32:04] I just love those legends.

Speaker 2:
[32:05] Yeah.

Speaker 4:
[32:06] You know, just, I love them. So anyway, check it out.

Speaker 2:
[32:09] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[32:10] All right, HollyBobby, get on the Devil Wears Prada. I want to know all the scoop. Will there also be a premiere in LA or is it just New York?

Speaker 4:
[32:16] No, just New York.

Speaker 2:
[32:17] Oh, no.

Speaker 1:
[32:18] What about London?

Speaker 4:
[32:21] It would be Paris.

Speaker 1:
[32:22] They are going to a couple of Europe.

Speaker 4:
[32:24] They're headed to a couple of European cities.

Speaker 1:
[32:26] Okay, well, I need to know all that for next week.

Speaker 2:
[32:30] We're going to talk about it.

Speaker 1:
[32:31] All right.

Speaker 2:
[32:32] Bye, Bobby.

Speaker 3:
[32:32] Bye, HollyBobby. He's so in the know.

Speaker 1:
[32:37] He is. He is in the know.

Speaker 3:
[32:40] June 15th, 11th, 16th, 16th, blowing the lid off it.

Speaker 1:
[32:45] I think. Yeah. But what he's saying is he's going to he's no one. None of us normal people care whose publicist you contacted.

Speaker 3:
[32:53] Some people might.

Speaker 1:
[32:56] They might like it.

Speaker 3:
[32:57] I don't know.

Speaker 1:
[32:58] So I have not seen anything except I started. What are we watching? I did start Friends & Neighbors with Jon Hamm. Season one was a little ridiculous, but I liked it. And that's it. I've been watching hockey playoffs or nothing because I've been busy on the road.

Speaker 3:
[33:16] Who do you like? Not who's your team, but who do you think is going to win the Stanley Cup? Top two teams.

Speaker 1:
[33:22] My top two teams would be the Avalanche.

Speaker 3:
[33:27] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[33:27] They're just almost like the Dodgers. It's almost unstoppable.

Speaker 3:
[33:33] Good fans too.

Speaker 1:
[33:34] From what I've seen so far, I have not seen any team as fast and furious as Edmonton, and this could be their year.

Speaker 3:
[33:44] I don't agree with that.

Speaker 1:
[33:45] All right. Well, who's your two picks?

Speaker 3:
[33:48] I like the Avalanche. I don't know. I haven't seen enough, but I'm into it.

Speaker 1:
[33:54] Well, you can't say I haven't seen enough. I haven't seen enough either. You got to pick somebody.

Speaker 3:
[33:57] Well, hang on.

Speaker 2:
[33:59] No cheating, no googling. You're going to look up who's favorite.

Speaker 1:
[34:02] That's bullshit. You can't just say a team.

Speaker 3:
[34:04] No, I just want to see who's in it because I can't pick two that would play each other. Like in the play.

Speaker 1:
[34:10] Well, we know Boston's in it. We know that Senator Ottawa's in it.

Speaker 3:
[34:14] No, they're out.

Speaker 1:
[34:14] Dallas. They're going to go out. OK. Dallas. The Wild.

Speaker 3:
[34:19] Dallas is good. I don't know about Minnesota. I don't know.

Speaker 1:
[34:21] Sabres. You know what?

Speaker 3:
[34:24] I think Buffalo is America's team this year.

Speaker 2:
[34:26] Kind of is. Because everybody's freaking out up there.

Speaker 1:
[34:31] Yeah, it's good for Buffalo.

Speaker 3:
[34:32] They're just kind of fun to watch.

Speaker 1:
[34:33] It's good for Boston, too. You know.

Speaker 3:
[34:36] Who else? That's all the Canadian teams. As a Calgarian, it's very difficult to cheer for Edmonton.

Speaker 1:
[34:44] Well, I'm just saying that's what I saw.

Speaker 3:
[34:47] Dallas.

Speaker 1:
[34:50] I really like the Wilds uniforms.

Speaker 3:
[34:52] They're very cool.

Speaker 1:
[34:53] Yeah, and I never think red and green. You think that would look too Christmassy, but they pull it off.

Speaker 3:
[34:58] The mammoth, too.

Speaker 1:
[34:59] The mammoth's great, but like the Minnesota airport, I thought maybe they have a cute girls t-shirt.

Speaker 3:
[35:04] They did not.

Speaker 1:
[35:04] They did not.

Speaker 3:
[35:05] The lightning. The lightning are up. No.

Speaker 1:
[35:07] The hurricanes.

Speaker 3:
[35:08] I don't know about the hurricanes.

Speaker 1:
[35:10] No. I love the hurricanes. No.

Speaker 3:
[35:13] No, not Vegas?

Speaker 1:
[35:14] I'll say no.

Speaker 3:
[35:15] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[35:15] All right. Moving on.

Speaker 2:
[35:18] Holy shit, they found it.

Speaker 1:
[35:20] This is crazy. And as of breaking news this morning, I already know what one of them went for. Two Monet paintings, unseen for a century. We've lost them for a century. I love how they just resurface. Like which one of you criminal jackasses are hiding Monets for a century? They're the most valuable Monet paintings to appear at auction in France since 2001. Shit. Yep. And one of them went for 12 million today. I'm going to do an update next week, but I just saw that headline before all this started. I do not, I usually, I do know a lot about the impressionist. I've never seen this one. Obviously, because some pig was hoarding it for a hundred years. It was previously, I don't need to go through all that. 12 million for a Monet though. They don't ever, the art world is so sneaky and there's so much behind the curtains we don't know about and I'll never know about, but like they'll just go, oh, it resurfaced. My ass, who stole it? Where was it? Like, I want to know, they'll never. Who's getting the money? They just breeze right over it.

Speaker 3:
[36:42] There's a wire going somewhere.

Speaker 1:
[36:43] Yeah. I'm going to try to find out for next week. Give me one second. This is all, the whole article is about Monet. Well, OK. After being sequestered in a private collection for the past 115 years. Who's private collection? I can't do that, man. 115 years ago would have been, I don't know. What? I was trying to do them. What year is that? What was it here? Let me get a pen.

Speaker 3:
[37:16] 115 years?

Speaker 1:
[37:18] Yeah. 2,026 minus 1,025.

Speaker 3:
[37:22] 1911. Right?

Speaker 1:
[37:26] OK. So it wasn't World War I or World War II. I'm thinking it was eluded during the wars. No. Some other sneaky bullshit. I'll find out. Some little pig. Some little pig. Or maybe they didn't even know.

Speaker 2:
[37:40] They know. All right.

Speaker 1:
[37:43] We're going to do some sports news. If you guys don't like sports, don't worry. This will be super fast. Well, there's a few things. There's quite a few things. First of all, Nashville, Tennessee, where we are currently sitting, we are getting the Super Bowl in 2030.

Speaker 3:
[38:01] Stop that.

Speaker 2:
[38:02] It's going to be epic.

Speaker 1:
[38:04] I'm not sure I will go to the game. I don't know if I want to pay those prices, but I'm definitely going to be downtown.

Speaker 3:
[38:09] You'll be telling me.

Speaker 1:
[38:09] I'm going to get a room right now and just assume that I'll be alive four years from now. And if I'm not, I'll pass that room on to my nephews and they can go. And nieces, here's the lineup. 2027 LA gets the Super Bowl. That's going to be weird.

Speaker 2:
[38:27] That'll be weird.

Speaker 1:
[38:28] There's no where to hang out down there. There's no where, you're not walking anywhere.

Speaker 2:
[38:34] Yuck.

Speaker 1:
[38:34] Atlanta, nah, better than LA, but no. Vegas, 2029, epic. But the influencers will ruin it. They'll ruin LA. They probably won't care about Atlanta and they'll ruin Vegas. And they will probably ruin Nashville as well. Semi-ruined, I'd say. We'll see. Nashville's a thing, nah. They're here. They are. Let's talk about World Cup for a minute. I love soccer. All my brothers played soccer. St. Louis is a big soccer city. I'm not calling it football. I will never call it football. I'm going to go to my death. If I can say one last thing from the coffin, I'm going to scream, it's soccer, not football. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. We're not euros. We have football and we know what that is. We have soccer.

Speaker 3:
[39:23] Yes.

Speaker 1:
[39:24] So I refuse to move forward. I wish to live in the past.

Speaker 3:
[39:28] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[39:28] There you go. That's my one old person's statement for the day. FIFA though, FIFA to me is as corrupt as the IOC, the Olympic Committee. You don't know who's getting the money, who's sneaking the money, the prices. So I was maybe going to meet Patrick and his youngest son in Atlanta. It's South Africa against and maybe Ireland, but Ireland didn't win. So it's another African nation I don't know anything about. I don't know anything about their teams, blah, blah, blah. But the tickets, they're so expensive. And Patrick's like, well, if you want to get somewhere down from the nosebleeds, it's twelve to thirteen hundred dollars. Well, I just I can't I can stay at home on the couch in pajamas with baby cat.

Speaker 2:
[40:14] Right.

Speaker 1:
[40:15] And, you know, the other FIFA said it's it's banning tailgating. I mean, come on. Yeah, it's ridiculous. Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[40:22] Right.

Speaker 1:
[40:23] Because we they want us to go to a fan experience that they're going to charge you to go in. So they're they're going to make money even in the tailgating area. It's so gross. And then the East, not Philly, Philly's making transportation to there's normal prices. These other guys. So Jersey Transit confirmed in a media briefing that World Cup match goes, we charge one hundred fifty bucks for return rail trip from New York to Penn Station to Pennsylvania, Penn Station to get to MetLife.

Speaker 3:
[40:50] Wow.

Speaker 1:
[40:51] It's normally twelve dollars and ninety cents.

Speaker 3:
[40:53] That's crazy.

Speaker 1:
[40:53] Because FIFA's they, but these, please don't blame the people in charge right now immediately for this because these contracted, these are contracted a long time ago. Before the last World Cup. Yes. And FIFA says this is what you're going to do for us. You want World Cup games, here's what you're going to do for us. Well, I can't even imagine. I don't know how you stop tailgating at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. That's one I've tailgated at a million times. I don't know how you stop that unless you have security guards going through each aisle, constantly saying shut your trunk. That's where our booth, that's where the beer is at. And we got put your barbecue grill away, blah, blah, blah. Every single thing they announce is worse than the last. It makes me not want to give them money. Yes. Like if this was really awesomely fun, I still wouldn't spend $1200, but I'd spend five for a once in a lifetime experience, a World Cup game. Right. But it's very disappointing. Good for Philly. They're saying no. And I don't know about the rest of the cities. Those haven't come out, but is anybody going? Do any of your termites have tickets?

Speaker 3:
[42:00] It's very anti-Philly too, generally.

Speaker 2:
[42:03] It is kind of anti-Philly.

Speaker 3:
[42:04] To be nice.

Speaker 1:
[42:04] Yeah, but that's where Philly's like, fuck you, FIFA. Then they get their grill up about that.

Speaker 3:
[42:09] They themselves.

Speaker 1:
[42:11] Listen, when we're done attacking all these robots carrying food around this city, we're going to give you a free ride. In Philly, I would even think you can uber just somewhere in that area and just get out and walk over there. I've been over there a million times. I don't know about getting home, but... So if you... Oh my God. So this guy, and then I'll move on. But Aaron Levinson paid more than $1,500 on category three tickets for him and his family and were disappointed to learn that his seats would be in the upper corner of the stands. He's in the nosebleeds.

Speaker 3:
[42:45] What?

Speaker 1:
[42:46] Yeah. He did not get to view the color coded mat to SoFi until after he purchased the tickets. You have to purchase the tickets, but you don't know where they're at.

Speaker 3:
[42:54] Oh my God.

Speaker 1:
[42:55] Fuck off.

Speaker 3:
[42:56] Yeah, no.

Speaker 1:
[42:57] He said, I don't know if disappointing is the right word. It's just bizarre. I like to sit in a certain spot. I like the silent. I don't want to be behind the goal. I feel like the price I paid, I knew, at least I would, could know where the seats are going to be. Category one tickets. This goes on. It's too hard.

Speaker 3:
[43:11] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[43:12] You can't. I don't even know. Patrick, my brother was trying to walk me through it because I was on the website going, I don't even understand what I'm doing. Where we're going. I buy concert tickets all the time, but this is like a special thing. It's also $250 to park.

Speaker 3:
[43:29] What?

Speaker 1:
[43:29] By SoFi.

Speaker 3:
[43:30] Wow.

Speaker 1:
[43:31] Yep.

Speaker 3:
[43:31] That's insane.

Speaker 1:
[43:32] I mean, you're just, especially, let's say it's, and I'm not being racist or anything here, but let's say it's the Mexican team, blah, blah, blah. These are not the people that want to support them. A lot of them, not all, but a lot are not going to have that kind of money. No, it's insane. No, it's completely crazy when you pay to get up here. I know. I mean, sadly, I'm the the the horror person that I love. I will love to watch it. But why am I supporting these people? Because I love the game. Why am I supporting the Olympic Committee? Because I like the Olympics. I don't know.

Speaker 3:
[44:08] I get it. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[44:10] And then last, my last sports news. LIV Golf. We're about to, it's about to go to its night night.

Speaker 3:
[44:18] Night night.

Speaker 1:
[44:18] And I said it from the beginning, not to say I'm right, but this was just a terrible idea. Nothing about it worked. If you don't follow golf, there's the PGA. That's a traditional one. There's a couple in Europe that you don't need to know about for the sake of this conversation. They created LIV because Greg Norman's an angry man. And he created that to combat the PGA because he didn't like what they were doing. And some of it was pretty shitty what the PGA was doing, but most of it was pretty on track. And it's the history, it's everything. And LIV Golf plays like in Singapore and then Mexico City. The time zones don't line up. Nobody watched. They couldn't get a TV market. This is probably 100% most likely it's last year, if it even makes it through the year.

Speaker 3:
[45:03] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[45:03] So.

Speaker 3:
[45:04] Yeah, it's only April.

Speaker 1:
[45:05] Go to your night out, LIV. Go to your night out. Bye bye. Bye bye.

Speaker 3:
[45:08] All of you complete back to the PGA.

Speaker 1:
[45:10] Moving on to news. In case I do, now that I have watched The Wizard of Oz.

Speaker 3:
[45:16] Thank God.

Speaker 1:
[45:17] Twice. The old one and the new one. Valerie Lee, one of the young Munchkins in The Wizard of Oz dies at age 94.

Speaker 3:
[45:24] Oh.

Speaker 1:
[45:25] She played a Munchkin, but she was actually seven years old. Yeah, because when I watched it, I'm like, these aren't all little people. Some of these people are children. Right. And some of them are just short people.

Speaker 3:
[45:39] Yes.

Speaker 1:
[45:40] Not necessarily a little person.

Speaker 3:
[45:42] Like your height.

Speaker 1:
[45:43] Like my height.

Speaker 3:
[45:44] You could be the mayor of Munchkinland.

Speaker 1:
[45:45] I could have been the tallest of the Munchkins. Well, she's one of the last ones. Valerie died. She was a adorable little child. And she's kind of, in the one clip I saw, kind of front and center. She had a star moment.

Speaker 3:
[45:57] Nice.

Speaker 1:
[45:57] Yeah. I don't know what happened to the rest of her life, but let's hope it was fine. How old is she? 94.

Speaker 3:
[46:03] Wow. Pretty good.

Speaker 1:
[46:06] She was seven.

Speaker 3:
[46:08] I can't do that. It'd be funny if she was like six foot three now. And she had to tell people that she was a Munchkin.

Speaker 1:
[46:17] Yeah. I couldn't tell. There's a picture of her as an older woman, but she's sitting down. All right. Get a load of this. This is the craziest. Thank you. A termite said this. I did not see this initially. This happened on April 9th.

Speaker 3:
[46:32] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[46:32] Well, the story came out. A man stole a handbag outside a London pub. So the dude just thinks he's stealing a purse.

Speaker 3:
[46:41] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[46:41] Okay. Inside was what? A Faberge egg worth three million dollars. Now, my next question was, who the fuck is sitting at a bar drunk and left their purse unattended with a Faberge egg in it? He was jailed on Thursday for more than two years. Enzo Conticello, 29, of no fixed address.

Speaker 2:
[47:09] Who writes that?

Speaker 1:
[47:11] Pleaded guilty to one count of theft and three counts of fraud. He was sentenced at the Southwood Crown Court to a total of 27 months in prison. That's crazy. The handbag, it was a Givenchy. The purse itself was worth 1,600 bucks. That was stolen from the smoking area outside of the dog and duck pub in Soho in November of 2024. Okay, this, even I, even I, who I love to drink at a pub and when I smoked, I love to be in the smoking area. I would not, I would still be cognizant of the fact I have a Faberge egg in my purse. True. The bag contained a green and gold, emerald crusted Faberge egg and watch owned by the Craft Irish Whiskey Company where the victim worked as well as a, this is what else was in her purse, a laptop, wallet, air pods and her bank cards. You know, can you Google, Google Craft Irish Whiskey Company and why do they have a Faberge egg? Please. Oh my God. This is an unusual case acknowledged Judge Kate Livesey describing the victim shocked and panic when she discovered her handbag had gone missing.

Speaker 3:
[48:28] This is an update next year or next week.

Speaker 1:
[48:31] Okay. Why they have one? Yeah. Save it. Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[48:36] They have one. They made it for him.

Speaker 1:
[48:39] When?

Speaker 3:
[48:40] Can't even tell you when to talk about this next week. There's a lot of little tiny words.

Speaker 1:
[48:43] Anticella, who's also known as Hakeen Buzhinwan, stole the bank cards and attempted to purchase stuff in nearby supermarkets shortly after the theft. Oh my God. The stolen items were part of a limited series of seven bespoke Emerald Isle sets produced by the Craft Irish Whiskey Company, each comprising of Faberge egg, a Faberge watch, a handcrafted bottle and cigar humidor, the court heard. Three of the sets have been sold to private collections for $3 million.

Speaker 3:
[49:19] You want to know what's inside the egg?

Speaker 1:
[49:20] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[49:21] A rough uncut Zambian emerald.

Speaker 1:
[49:25] Oh my God. Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[49:26] It looks like chewed up gum.

Speaker 1:
[49:29] His lawyer said he was homeless and a coke addict. Well, that's who's in your smoking area in Soho at the, what did I say? The Duck and something, Dog and Duck Pub. If you're in the smoking area in London at the Dog and Duck thing, don't leave your fancy handbag. Wow. Can you imagine? You know that guy didn't think that.

Speaker 3:
[49:51] No.

Speaker 1:
[49:52] Fuck no. He just thought I'm going to steal that purse and get some bank cards.

Speaker 3:
[49:55] Oh, wow.

Speaker 1:
[49:57] Save it. More news. This is crazy. Another reason I love Milwaukee.

Speaker 3:
[50:03] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[50:06] They're going to open the first Bloody Mary Museum in the third ward. Unbelievably well. I hope they let us. I hope there's a wonderful Bloody Mary bar when you enter and then you can walk around the museum with your Bloody Mary.

Speaker 3:
[50:21] Great idea.

Speaker 1:
[50:22] Right? Yeah. It's going to be a celebration of the city's love for brunch cocktails and perhaps more importantly, the art of garnishing them.

Speaker 3:
[50:28] That's amazing.

Speaker 1:
[50:29] Yep. It's going to be in an abandoned warehouse. 300 North Jefferson in the historic third ward. Way to go, Milwaukee. Here's something creepy. I sure wouldn't spend $900,000 on it. A life jacket worn by a titanic survivor was auctioned off for over $900,000. The flotation device was worn by Laura Mabel Franta Kelly. I would not want that. I mean, she survived, but I don't want this in my house. No. It was a star item among the items in a sale of Titanic memorabilia. It's crazy. It basically looks like a seat cushion. It doesn't even look like the geeky orange life jackets we had to wear in a boat as children. It's not even... It's just sad looking. It just looks... She, the survivor, was traveling with her employer, fashion designer Lucy Duff-Gordon and Lucy's husband Cosmo Duff-Gordon. All three survived. They went in lifeboat number one, which was launched carrying 12 people despite having capacity for 40. Its failure to pick up survivors from the refrigerated water became a source of controversy. A former piece of Titanic memorabilia, $2 million was paid in 2024 for a gold pocket watch given to the captain of the Carpathia, the other ship, the one that rescued them. Awesome. Yeah. Okay. As if there's not enough reasons that I love the Alamo in San Antonio, like I could just live in there. I love the history. I love the vibe. I'm so glad those old ladies saved it because it was going to get wrecked.

Speaker 3:
[52:23] So great.

Speaker 1:
[52:24] It's such an awesome piece of history. Now I'm never going to leave because Taylor Sheridan has agreed to direct Alamo movie for the new museum.

Speaker 3:
[52:32] Gotcha.

Speaker 1:
[52:33] I'm so excited.

Speaker 3:
[52:34] It's so great.

Speaker 1:
[52:35] I mean, the movies are already great. The ones they have in there and they're all short, like a half hour. It's not like you're committing to. So you can bebop around and go, okay, I'm going to watch this little movie and then go in this section of the Alamo and then boom over here and boom, boom, boom.

Speaker 3:
[52:49] Fun.

Speaker 1:
[52:49] Yeah. Cool. So boom, he got the gig. I wonder if he's doing it for free. I don't know. This, oh, we got to do, speaking of, well, the Alamo, they have a brand new building. I think I've talked about it on this podcast. And there's a giant mural of Phil Collins. Yes, the drummer from Genesis. When you walk in and I'm like, what is going on? Why is there? And then there's Phil Collins' pictures. Well, it turns out little Phil Collins, an English boy, has been hoarding Alamo things his entire life, like a psycho. Like his wife, apparently one of his wives or his wife, whatever, somebody he lived with was like, dude, this shit is out of hand. Like you can't even get through the basement anymore. Like the second level of our house. But then he donated it all to the Alamo and he paid for shipping. He paid for all of that and security and insurance and then he showed up one day and clearly he didn't bring a second shirt. I'm like, did nobody tell Papa Phil, like you're gonna get your picture taken a lot. Let's have a couple of shirts. You'll be good. Let's mix it up. No, but that's why I kind of like him too. He's like, this is my shirt and I wore it. So if you go to the new Alamo building with inside the Alamo, I don't like the outside of the building because it doesn't fit the motif, but that's just my own personal... It should have been Spanish. It doesn't look... No, it looks like a modern... It doesn't fit, but whatever. Inside is awesome. And speaking of Phil, we have our new Hall of Fame inductees for 2026. Oh, boy. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Phil Collins is one of them. His solo career, not Genesis. Genesis may already be in there. Probably. I don't know. Billy Idol. OK. Iron Maiden. I can honestly say, I do not think I know one Iron Maiden song. I know they were very popular. I'm seeing.

Speaker 3:
[55:07] Phantom of the Opera.

Speaker 1:
[55:10] What?

Speaker 3:
[55:11] Power Slave. Stranger in a strange land. The Wicker Man.

Speaker 1:
[55:18] Enough. I don't know any. Oasis.

Speaker 3:
[55:21] Number of the Beast.

Speaker 1:
[55:22] Those are those brothers that fight and hate each other, Liam and Noel Gallagher. Well, they've already said the Hall of Fame is a bunch of shit. We'll see if they show up.

Speaker 3:
[55:31] Do you want your trophy?

Speaker 1:
[55:34] Joy Division slash New Order.

Speaker 3:
[55:38] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[55:39] Joy Division's mostly punk sound. I don't know. Sade. Am I saying that right?

Speaker 3:
[55:46] Sade.

Speaker 1:
[55:47] Sade.

Speaker 3:
[55:48] Sade.

Speaker 1:
[55:49] I did the Tonight Show once with her and it was a closed set. Like it would be like, that's what they do for a president or something. And I'm like, what? How come I can't go over there and go to the bathroom? It's a closed set. I'm like, who's here that's so famous? Because y'all have to go in the day to understand what's going to happen. And I'm like, who is here that is such a pain in the ass? Now, I don't know if she's a pain in the ass. Maybe she had a stalker. Could have been anything, but whatever. Luther Vandross. Yes. Oh, he was a background vocalist for David Bowie, Roberta Flack and Stevie Wonder. I didn't know that. I did not either. He should definitely be in. Wu-Tang Clan, one of my favorite albums of all time. Their early influence award goes to Celia Cruz, a Cuban singer who is known as the Queen of Salsa and becomes the first primary Spanish-language artist to be inducted. Great. Queen Latifah. She was only 19. These are influencer people. They're not. Yeah, so I don't need to go through these. Musical Excellence Award, Linda Creed, Arif Mardin. We don't know these people.

Speaker 3:
[56:53] No.

Speaker 1:
[56:56] And then the Ahmet Erdogan Award goes to Ed Sullivan. I mean, okay. He's only been dead for like, you know, whatever, a hundred years.

Speaker 3:
[57:05] A little bit.

Speaker 1:
[57:08] Here's a little something. What do we think, termites? I have so many thoughts on this. Oh boy. I have thoughts because I was a bartender and I have thoughts because I have ordered a lot of shots sometimes at bars back in the day. A cruise ship passenger was awarded $300,000 after being served 14 shots of tequila. Wow.

Speaker 3:
[57:34] Here's Blackout.

Speaker 1:
[57:35] Oh, I'm surprised she didn't die. Diana Sanders.

Speaker 3:
[57:39] A woman.

Speaker 1:
[57:40] She sued Carnival Corporation.

Speaker 3:
[57:42] Uh-huh.

Speaker 1:
[57:44] It was within eight hours. So let's see. Eight times two would be 16. It's basically two shots an hour.

Speaker 3:
[57:49] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[57:53] I've seen people do that.

Speaker 3:
[57:55] Yeah. It doesn't end well.

Speaker 1:
[57:57] Especially, and I'm not judging, I'm just saying people from Texas. Every Texas comedian I know. Well, for the most part, when they order a beer, they order a shot of tequila. It's their back. It's like Milwaukee. You get a Bloody Mary. You get a beer back. It's just what they do. And they never seem to be affected.

Speaker 3:
[58:14] No. No.

Speaker 1:
[58:15] I've seen a million of them do it. And I'm like, are you junk yet?

Speaker 2:
[58:19] Like you should be.

Speaker 1:
[58:20] Like I'm just ordering a Bud Light or whatever I was ordering. And they're like, whatever. I think they just grow up on it or something. They have a higher tolerance. But she said she was over served alcohol despite being visibly intoxicated while on the board, the Carnival Radiance. This is in January of 2024. She felt this isn't funny, but she fell down a flight of stairs. It suffered injuries, severe injuries as a result of the incident. After a week long trial in federal jury in Miami, returned the verdict on April 13th. They said the cruise line was 60% responsible for the woman's injuries, 60% specifically. They served her 14 drinks over eight and a half hours.

Speaker 3:
[59:02] Who did the math on that?

Speaker 1:
[59:04] I don't know. The jury, what do they got? The head of the jury? Oh man.

Speaker 3:
[59:12] The spokesperson.

Speaker 1:
[59:13] I don't think you should get rewarded for getting so hammered.

Speaker 3:
[59:20] Yep.

Speaker 1:
[59:21] But I do because a cruise ship is not out in the wild. Like you have security cameras and all this shit. There's only so many bars on the cruise ship, maybe five. So it's not like let's say I'm bartended at my lake bar. I don't know where you've been all day and you come in and order a beer and a shot.

Speaker 2:
[59:41] I kind of have to do that.

Speaker 1:
[59:42] Now, if I'm was she at the same bar? This would be my question. If you're at the same bar, they should not have done that. But let's say she bebopped around the bars or let's say a friend got it. I don't know enough about she had back injuries and extreme mental anguish. I'm sure. I'm sure she did. Carnival argued that Sander's Diana was negligent for her injuries and failed to recognize the risk of consuming the alcohol. Was it the same bartender? There's too much information that's not given and everybody has an opinion, you know, we'll take personal responsibility. Yes, I agree.

Speaker 3:
[60:25] Also, when you look at somebody who's had, say, ten shots, you know.

Speaker 1:
[60:31] But maybe she didn't come up and get it. Maybe her friend went and got it.

Speaker 3:
[60:36] And she needs to sue her friend. Come on.

Speaker 1:
[60:39] I feel the death penalty coming, Paddles.

Speaker 3:
[60:40] No, you'll get a death penalty.

Speaker 1:
[60:43] I feel you're going all out.

Speaker 3:
[60:44] Not for this, but you should be flogged.

Speaker 1:
[60:47] I don't know if I give her $300,000. Maybe I give her enough to cover her back injury problem because we shouldn't have done that.

Speaker 3:
[60:54] Let's refund your cruise and ban you because you're a moron. How about that?

Speaker 1:
[61:01] Diana, here's the thing. You're banned from Carnival.

Speaker 3:
[61:06] You know what it takes to get banned from Carnival? They have $89 specials for a week. Come on.

Speaker 1:
[61:19] You know, I remember my friend Ron once, he's like, well, I booked myself on a Ritz-Carlton cruise with his girlfriend at the time. This is right when he quote, retired two years ago. And he goes, I don't know, Maddie, I'm sitting in the lobby and none of these people look fun. He goes, they're very uptight and serious people, and I'm probably going to get booted for smoking a cigar or some weed. I said, you didn't check before you booked this to see if there's a smoking area? He's like, no, I figured, Maddie, it's a boat. There's going to be an outside. I said, all right, fine. I said, here's the thing, Ron, if you want exciting and fun and activity, you need to be on a Carnival Cruise, not a Ritz-Carlton. If you want to see a pool fight where women go, you know, swinging and swaying at other women and just knock down, drag out UFC shit, you're on a fancy cruise line. It's not going to happen. You got to go on Carnival.

Speaker 3:
[62:15] You can bet on them.

Speaker 1:
[62:20] Here's some sad little news. If you're a cultural vulture, RIP Moya Brennan. Who is Moya Brennan? She was a lead singer of Clan-ed, which is an Irish group, but known also because she's Enya's sister.

Speaker 3:
[62:37] Yes.

Speaker 1:
[62:37] Looks just like her too. And she's her older sister.

Speaker 3:
[62:41] I didn't know that.

Speaker 1:
[62:42] There's like six of them. Yeah, they're all very pretty.

Speaker 3:
[62:44] A lot of kids, isn't there, in that family?

Speaker 1:
[62:46] Yeah. And there was more than six, I think, maybe nine.

Speaker 3:
[62:50] Gotcha.

Speaker 1:
[62:51] And they're from Ireland, the Northern part, but the part that's Catholic. And like they speak Irish and everything. But it's very sad. She was 73. But Enya, this just always amazes me, and nobody would ever think this. Enya has made over $65 million and never gone on tour. What? She doesn't like it. Wow. She's 64 or five years old. She bought a castle, like an hour south of Dublin.

Speaker 3:
[63:17] She's never toured.

Speaker 1:
[63:19] No. And she has 12 cats, and that's it.

Speaker 3:
[63:24] She's your cult leader.

Speaker 1:
[63:25] I'm like, you know, I'm not seeing anything wrong with this picture. I like people more than her, so I'd have to have a lot of friends or something, or somebody, you know, Mary Ron or something. But 12 cats in a castle. She is the leading Irish singer, solo singer of all time, Enya, of all time. She is the second leading after U2 as an Irish performer that has sold, you know, whatever. She bought her castle in 1997 for an eye-watering $4.3 million, and today's money works out to $7.5 million. It's a stone's throw away from Kilini Hill Park at the foot of Hill's viewpoint, as well as being very near Kilini Beach. She has all kinds of security because I guess she's had some crazy stalkers, which is weird to me. Like, Enya? Her music is so, like, ethereal and peaceful.

Speaker 3:
[64:22] I know, but people think it speaks to them.

Speaker 1:
[64:24] I guess. She's been described as a recluse and has numerous, and I feel like cameras. She isn't alone. She has 12 cats.

Speaker 3:
[64:32] What?

Speaker 1:
[64:36] So that was, yeah, but Moya Brennan, there's a bunch of clips on TikTok if you want to hear a thing. It's a crazy, it's just like Enya. Like, I can't even believe you have this many talented people in one family. You all sound like tiny angels. Yeah, it's wonderful.

Speaker 3:
[64:52] What are the notes?

Speaker 1:
[64:53] I think this is wonderful. The Bank of England.

Speaker 3:
[64:57] Yep.

Speaker 1:
[64:58] It's going to remove public figures from banknotes, meaning money, cash, and replacing them with owls, foxes and other native wildlife.

Speaker 3:
[65:06] Great idea. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[65:07] Yeah, put animals on there. I don't need to see the picture of a dead president from a thousand years ago that I don't even care about.

Speaker 3:
[65:13] No, you don't.

Speaker 1:
[65:13] Right, and then we get in fights about were they racist or not. Take it off the table. Here's a fox, shut up.

Speaker 3:
[65:20] Here's a fox.

Speaker 1:
[65:22] They're taking off Winston Churchill, Jane Austen. Well, she wasn't political. Alan Turing, I don't even know who that is. They're going to have all those foxes. They will keep King Charles' portrait on the front.

Speaker 3:
[65:36] Hard to kick him off when he's still sitting there staring at you.

Speaker 1:
[65:39] Yeah, and you know, I don't know what kind of cancer he has. But I know from some friends what pancreatic cancer can do. And I'm not seeing that doing it to him right now. So maybe that's not what he has. Maybe that's just a bad rumor. Here's a bad thing that's not a rumor. Mark Zuckerberg, one of my least favorite people besides Elon, that's running around pretending they're human beings. He's going to create an AI version of himself to attend meetings.

Speaker 3:
[66:09] Oh, God.

Speaker 2:
[66:10] As if it's not bad enough.

Speaker 1:
[66:12] You got to sit there and listen to this robot alien.

Speaker 3:
[66:15] Right.

Speaker 1:
[66:16] Now, it's not even the real robot.

Speaker 2:
[66:17] No.

Speaker 1:
[66:18] No?

Speaker 3:
[66:18] No. It's a robot of the robot.

Speaker 1:
[66:22] Yeah, a robot clone.

Speaker 3:
[66:27] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[66:28] Here's what he's going to do. He's going to come to your meeting and tell you learning company strategy and how to give advice to employees. Ug, this feels really dystopian already. And is as if everything else didn't already.

Speaker 3:
[66:41] Wow.

Speaker 1:
[66:42] Yeah. Oh my God.

Speaker 3:
[66:45] Stop it.

Speaker 1:
[66:46] Right now, it's in development. And it's already helping by retrieving answers for him that he would typically have to go through layers of people to get to. The project reflects Zuckerberg's priorities to accelerate the pace of work.

Speaker 3:
[67:01] Stop.

Speaker 1:
[67:03] Albert Einstein slept 10 hours a day. Yeah. Loved it. And said, you know what? You got to slow down for your brain to work, right? And this jackass is making us go faster. Well, that's not how he wants to eliminate layers from its organizational structure and change the day to day jobs of its employees to remain competitive with the AI native startups such as smaller staffs. Oh, it's all bad. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. I liked bartending. I would always go back to that rather than sit through this robot AI hologram. Yeah. No.

Speaker 3:
[67:40] Does the robot know that you've showed up?

Speaker 1:
[67:42] I don't know. I'm sure you have to scan in and scan out. That would be my guess.

Speaker 3:
[67:47] Dystopian. That word is thrown around a lot.

Speaker 2:
[67:51] This is so dystopian.

Speaker 1:
[67:52] I know it is. And I don't know.

Speaker 3:
[67:54] The children like it.

Speaker 1:
[67:55] The children do like it. The five states where Americans are flocking to and where they're leaving in droves.

Speaker 3:
[68:06] Hold on.

Speaker 1:
[68:09] The number one state that people are moving to? Yes.

Speaker 3:
[68:16] I would say Illinois.

Speaker 1:
[68:20] What?

Speaker 3:
[68:21] I don't know. Nope. Georgia.

Speaker 1:
[68:25] Illinois's taxes are way too high. Georgia. You're close. You're very close. You're so close.

Speaker 3:
[68:30] Tennessee.

Speaker 1:
[68:32] Other way. Other way. Other way.

Speaker 3:
[68:33] Alabama.

Speaker 1:
[68:34] Other way. There's only one other way. You went west and you went south.

Speaker 3:
[68:38] South Carolina.

Speaker 1:
[68:39] Yep. Yep. Yep. South Carolina. So I love to go. They have taxes. I'm not saying they don't, but they're not like the property taxes in Illinois. I have a lot of friends in Illinois. All I hear is bitching. Nobody's bitching in South Carolina. They gain 79 residents for every 10,000 already living there. Wow. Here's what's crazy. So I got on a golf shuttle bus.

Speaker 3:
[69:06] Six percent.

Speaker 2:
[69:07] And state tax.

Speaker 1:
[69:09] Look at property tax is what's killing Illinois people.

Speaker 3:
[69:13] No state tax in South Carolina is six percent. Oh, keep going about your shuttle story.

Speaker 1:
[69:18] Oh, my shuttle story.

Speaker 3:
[69:19] Property tax.

Speaker 1:
[69:20] So the driver guy, they're all retired guys that drive these buses and women, but mostly mostly men. And he was a nut. He was like the 10th person I'd met from Ohio. And I'm like, what is going on? He's like, well, Ohioans, we get sick of the cold. So we come retire in South Carolina. He said, even I agree, there's too many of us. They have a website in South Carolina. Go home, Ohioans. And it's all it's all devoted to hating people from Ohio. And then they go through everything they hate about Ohio. And I'm like, oh my God, I've never seen this kind of uprising. That's funny. Here's the second one. Idaho.

Speaker 3:
[69:59] Oh, close to my homeland.

Speaker 1:
[70:04] I can't. Too cold.

Speaker 3:
[70:06] It's pretty.

Speaker 1:
[70:07] Pretty. But there's a weird vibe in Idaho.

Speaker 3:
[70:11] It's a little Mormony deliverance. Yeah. Unabomber-ish.

Speaker 1:
[70:14] I just never, I always feel like there's something going on and I don't know what it is. Like I went to Idaho Falls and I don't know. I didn't get it. Whatever. I mean, it's beautiful. I understand. It looks like everything looks like a Hallmark movie. I get it. Boise, I worked the club there for years and all that. I had fun, but I never felt like I clicked in. Like there's something going on and I don't know what it is.

Speaker 3:
[70:39] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[70:40] Could be good, could be bad. I don't even know. Idaho, I think the Californians are going to Idaho.

Speaker 3:
[70:47] Yes, because Montana is full.

Speaker 1:
[70:50] Yes. Well, as full as they're going to let it be. Right.

Speaker 3:
[70:58] Hold on.

Speaker 1:
[70:59] Delaware ranked third. That surprised me.

Speaker 3:
[71:02] Delaware's got lenient tax laws.

Speaker 1:
[71:06] Yes. Relatively low tax set up that includes no sales tax.

Speaker 3:
[71:09] Right.

Speaker 1:
[71:10] I know people go over there and buy stuff from like Philly because you can jump over and get your TV with no tax or whatever. Right. And Delaware, although we always joke, I'm like, how when they divvied this up, did they go? Delaware is only getting eight miles of beach.

Speaker 3:
[71:29] That's it.

Speaker 1:
[71:30] Period. But it's close to DC., Philly, New York. Is that five? Oh, no, wait, I'm missing the last one. Oh, I must have missed a page. It's Tennessee. The whole state. 43.6 newcomers for every 10,000 people. Nashville in particular. Job growth, cultural pull and rising investor interest. Elvis Flan fans flock to Graceland in Memphis to see history. While the Dollywood in Pigeon Forge's name, one of the best theme parks in the United States and Alabama rounded out to top five with Huntsville. And I totally would. That feels great. The states with the most people leaving. Kansas, California, Maryland, Kansas, poor Kansas. What are you all doing? There's nobody there anyway. Who's leaving? There's the chiefs are coming, right? The chiefs are coming. The chiefs are coming.

Speaker 2:
[72:28] Buckling Kansas.

Speaker 1:
[72:30] They're moving out of Kansas. They've just had it. California, too expensive. Maryland, I don't know why. And New York. Crab's expensive. I know property taxes in like New York, not the city, but like upstate New York and stuff. They're expensive. The states with the most residents leaving is Massachusetts. Wow. Yep. They're going to states with no states like Florida or South Carolina.

Speaker 3:
[72:55] Well, when you're up there this weekend, you can interview and ask them what the problem is. Wow.

Speaker 1:
[73:01] The top three cities for the third year in a row, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Wilmington. I love Wilmington, North Carolina.

Speaker 3:
[73:08] So fun.

Speaker 1:
[73:09] Those are the top move-in cities. Those two, not three. Sorry.

Speaker 3:
[73:13] So Kansas or Massachusetts, which is the worst? Who's leaving?

Speaker 1:
[73:19] They don't say why. They don't even give a reason.

Speaker 3:
[73:21] It's just in there.

Speaker 1:
[73:22] People in Kansas probably didn't say anything. They just left.

Speaker 3:
[73:25] It's a mass exodus.

Speaker 2:
[73:26] They just left.

Speaker 3:
[73:30] Get it?

Speaker 1:
[73:30] All right.

Speaker 3:
[73:31] Nope.

Speaker 1:
[73:32] Yes. All right. Next week. I don't have enough on it this week. But next week, we're going to talk about all these missing scientists. And trust me, I'm not going to get Joe Roganee on this and go too deep where your head explodes of theories and shit. But it's getting crazy and it's extremely strange. And I don't really understand why it's not a bigger deal than it is.

Speaker 3:
[73:58] It's 11 now. Congress is looking into it. As of last night.

Speaker 1:
[74:03] What will that do? Exactly. What will that do? By the way, just as a...

Speaker 3:
[74:09] After they resolved...

Speaker 1:
[74:09] Oh no, I lost my feel good story. In case you're wondering, if you're a Barry Manilow fan alone, he is rescheduling his dates. He's still going to do it. Just...

Speaker 3:
[74:20] Are you going to go?

Speaker 1:
[74:21] If I can.

Speaker 3:
[74:23] Yeah. Anywhere.

Speaker 1:
[74:26] Well, I printed it out, but I lost it. But I can just tell you.

Speaker 3:
[74:30] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[74:31] Italy... They passed the strictest animal protection laws in history. Anyone who tortures an animal faces up to four years in prison and fines of $65,000, double the previous penalties.

Speaker 3:
[74:47] Great.

Speaker 1:
[74:47] Excellent.

Speaker 3:
[74:48] Good.

Speaker 1:
[74:48] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[74:49] Should be the death penalty.

Speaker 1:
[74:50] The law took effect July 1st, 2025, and permanently bans chaining dogs outdoors across the country.

Speaker 3:
[74:56] Good.

Speaker 1:
[74:56] Can't chain them up. For the first time, they are... Animals are recognized as legal subjects, not property. Organizing animal fights will bring you two to four years in prison. Puppy trafficking can mean 18 months. Filming animal cruelty online is now a crime with harsher penalties if minors are involved. Banding an animal can cost up to 11 grand.

Speaker 3:
[75:18] Good.

Speaker 1:
[75:18] Good for them.

Speaker 3:
[75:19] Good for Italy.

Speaker 1:
[75:20] And I think it was Italy or Spain. I'll find out for sure. But they're also granting... Italy. Italy. You get sick days if your pet's sick.

Speaker 3:
[75:28] So great.

Speaker 1:
[75:29] I love it.

Speaker 3:
[75:29] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[75:30] I don't want to leave it. Baby cat didn't feel good yesterday and I want to leave.

Speaker 3:
[75:33] No?

Speaker 1:
[75:33] No. Yeah, she was... I don't know. She puked up a few things. I don't know. Well, sometimes... I know.

Speaker 3:
[75:39] Cats puke a lot.

Speaker 1:
[75:40] My sisters puke 24-7. The whole house, there's cat vomit everywhere. No, these guys, they go outside enough that I think if they do eat something weird, they throw it up out there. No, they don't ever do anything bad in the house. Minus... They just cat vomit. Yeah. My nephew's like, I don't get mom. You know, what is... Yeah, Coco and Chacha are cute, but... And I'm like, no, you're never going to tell a cat person. No. I mean, and they have a dog. I love dogs way more, but I really love cats too. They're interesting. They're weird. Mine, I don't know. They don't... Because I got all upset. She was vomiting a lot one day. And my sister's like, that is a 15 minute occurrence in this household. That's all I do is clean up cat vomit.

Speaker 2:
[76:24] And I'm like, what are you feeding them?

Speaker 1:
[76:28] Are you giving them weird treats? I don't know.

Speaker 2:
[76:32] All right.

Speaker 1:
[76:33] Cat vomit. Let's do...

Speaker 3:
[76:35] Who's our saint?

Speaker 1:
[76:36] I got our saint and I got to do thank yous. Yeah. I forgot to read this one, by the way, a woman named... Before I get to all that, just because I keep moving this around. Chrissy from somewhere in New Jersey. I won't say the last name in case they don't want me to. She sent me greenies for the cat's birthday. Nobody realizes. I just don't know what their birthday is. So I made up that it's Master Sunday. Every year their birthday is on Master Sunday. And then they'll be so excited. And they got the thing is they don't really care about anything except delectables and greenies. So like cool. And then when we're done with that, they just stare at me. I don't know what else to do for your birthday. No, I got baby cat, a light up cowboy hat on TikTok hasn't arrived yet.

Speaker 3:
[77:20] A light up cowboy hat. I can't wait to see that.

Speaker 1:
[77:23] Yeah, it's going to be great. So this Saint, that's great. Let me make sure. See, I have too many pages. So we used to play in sports, Saint Martin de Porres, but I didn't know what that meant. He lived from 1579 to 1639. He is in charge of mixed races, public health workers and hairdressers.

Speaker 3:
[77:52] Interesting.

Speaker 1:
[77:53] That's a lot to put on Martin. You want me to be in charge of bi-racial, mixed races? And I'm supposed to stop by the salon and be in charge of hairdressers?

Speaker 3:
[78:03] Well, maybe he can help figure out their hair problems.

Speaker 1:
[78:06] Maybe. He was born in Lima, Peru, the illegitimate son of a Spanish conquistador and a freed slave woman. His father abandoned the family, leaving them in poverty. In his youth, he appreciated, he apprenticed, sorry, a barber surgeon.

Speaker 3:
[78:21] What?

Speaker 1:
[78:22] I guess back then you could just be one if you hung out with one. So I felt like Ben Franklin and those people. You didn't really go to college for four years to be that. No. You did it for a while and went, I'm an engineer.

Speaker 3:
[78:33] We made up four years.

Speaker 1:
[78:34] Right.

Speaker 3:
[78:35] Our people.

Speaker 1:
[78:36] At 15, he wanted to become a monk, but the law prohibited people of African and Indian descent from becoming monks. So he became a servant in the Dominican order. After eight years prior to the order allowed him to become a lay brother. He was put in charge of the hospital where he tenderly took care of his patients. He was reprimanded more than once for taking in the forbidden, contagious, and the unwashed. That's his gig.

Speaker 3:
[79:03] That's a weird gig.

Speaker 1:
[79:04] I just know we used to play them in sports and I never bothered to look up. I was like, oh, it's Saint Martin de Porres, but I said it like I knew what I was talking about, and I absolutely did not know what I was talking about.

Speaker 3:
[79:15] Right.

Speaker 1:
[79:15] Well, there's a lot of them. We just didn't think about it. Who's St. Sabina? I don't know, but they're really good in soccer. Should I say, do my quotes for the end or this?

Speaker 2:
[79:25] Maybe I'll.

Speaker 3:
[79:26] Do your thank yous.

Speaker 1:
[79:27] Thank yous, and then we'll do two quotes. Grand Rapids. Oh, the milkman came.

Speaker 2:
[79:32] My milkman, Tim and Stacey.

Speaker 1:
[79:34] Some guy brought me milk. He's a milkman. I didn't know we still had milkman.

Speaker 3:
[79:37] I didn't know anybody made strawberry milk anymore.

Speaker 1:
[79:39] Yeah, it was great. And I carried that little jug around all weekend. Oh yeah, somebody gave me American Dunes Golf Certificate. You guys don't have to buy me golf. But I'm not going to say I don't like it when I get it. But really, I can afford my own golf.

Speaker 3:
[79:53] They thanked you for your USO tours.

Speaker 2:
[79:56] Oh, yeah, but I shouldn't be paid for that.

Speaker 1:
[79:58] But I do appreciate it. But don't spend your hard-earned money. Somebody will let me go out there.

Speaker 3:
[80:02] Say thank you.

Speaker 1:
[80:03] I am saying thank you. I'm saying thank you.

Speaker 3:
[80:05] They feel good about that.

Speaker 1:
[80:06] I didn't know it was great. And that was from Jeff and Lori and the yardage book. I like to look at the yardage book. Two guys, local beer, thank you. Kitchen towels, that's Termite's, Carrie and Neil. Jalapeno wine, still haven't tasted that.

Speaker 3:
[80:20] It's downstairs, I saw it.

Speaker 1:
[80:21] I know. Termite Leslie. And then a T-shirt from the local brewery, always fun. Termite's, Jeff and Susan. Amish bread, haven't tasted it yet. That's from Brenda and her daughter, Sarah. Oh, and then I got a Jaws anniversary cup. I love them. I love Jaws, in case you don't know. It's from Jackie and her sister, Brianna. Brianna? Brianna? I don't know. And her husband, Derek, he stole the Jaws cup because Jackie told him to. Thank you. There you go. I will encourage thievery if we feel it's worth it. In the name of Jaws. Some more local beer from Petofsky Sisters, Kate and Renee, and then the Dolly Parton Word Search. Super fun. And the Jaws t-shirt. Love it. I love wearing it in the summer. And that was from Unknown Termites, who stayed at the aloft. So I'm just saying.

Speaker 3:
[81:13] There was a note on aloft stationary, but they didn't sign it.

Speaker 1:
[81:17] Oh, well, I love the t-shirt.

Speaker 3:
[81:19] Looks cool.

Speaker 1:
[81:21] It's fun in the summer.

Speaker 3:
[81:23] Great beer.

Speaker 1:
[81:24] And Royal Oak popcorn wagon, local Frankenmuth popcorn from Nancy and KB and Jeannie. Jeanne or Jeannie. Hell no beer. We drank all of it after the show. That was from Sarah and Tom. Last two, Detroit. Oh, the six pack of Detroit Hustles Harder beer. I love Detroit. When they, they're like, it's Detroit against everybody. Blah, blah, blah. Of course it is. That's from Valpo in Les Mites, Alicia and Tanya. And then a Day Drinking Coaster from Lint. So thank you guys for all that stuff. Super fun. Super fun. We've got two quotes. I'm trying to make Elvis interesting.

Speaker 3:
[82:05] It's hard.

Speaker 1:
[82:06] He's a simple man. He was a simple country boy.

Speaker 3:
[82:09] He's so cute.

Speaker 1:
[82:11] I know.

Speaker 3:
[82:13] I tried to watch your movie.

Speaker 1:
[82:16] Well, I need to talk to Bob about that. The Elvis movie. I need him to, we're not talking about it right now.

Speaker 3:
[82:21] I paused it. I upgraded to hard liquor.

Speaker 1:
[82:25] And still couldn't do it.

Speaker 3:
[82:27] About 20 minutes left. Yeah, take it in pieces.

Speaker 1:
[82:40] I can't, I can't make sense of that one. Here's what I'm talking about. Elvis, when he asked if he would ever get married, why buy a cow when you can get milk through the fence?

Speaker 3:
[82:52] What?

Speaker 1:
[82:53] He's saying.

Speaker 3:
[82:54] I know.

Speaker 1:
[82:54] You don't have to commit.

Speaker 3:
[82:55] No, I know that.

Speaker 1:
[83:00] It's true. I do have four Cadillacs. I haven't got any use for four. Maybe someday I'll go broke and I'll sell a couple of them. This is very, you know. Now let's go to David Bowie who's just a little more bizarre.

Speaker 2:
[83:13] Bizarre quotes of David.

Speaker 1:
[83:22] This is how I always did feel about David Bowie, though, which doesn't make it bad. He said, I think it all comes back to me being very selfish as an artist. I mean, I really do just write and record what interests me, and I do approach the stage shows the same way. And I always thought his stuff was so weird. Like, I'd get on board with something, and I'd be like, oh, this is what he's doing. And then it would completely change. And then I'd be like, I didn't understand anything that just happened there. But I did like a lot of it. And then he said this. This is on Adolf Hitler. David Bowie, somebody must have asked him about Hitler in Anthony O'Grady and NME, I guess it's a magazine, in 1975. He said, Hitler was one of the first rock stars. He was no politician. He was a media artist himself. He used politics and theatrics and created this thing that governing controlled the show for over those 12 years. The world will never see his like. He staged a country. He's not wrong. He sure, well, with the help of Lenny Riefenstahl, and if you're a history freak like I am, please go watch that documentary and tell me that lady didn't know exactly what she was doing.

Speaker 2:
[84:36] I was only hired to do the movie.

Speaker 1:
[84:39] Oh, really? Well, here's 50 pictures of you at parties with them. I think it was a little deeper than that, Lenny.

Speaker 3:
[84:45] I think she was in love with him.

Speaker 1:
[84:46] Well, I do too. And then she also said, everyone in Germany was excited at the time. No?

Speaker 3:
[84:52] Nope.

Speaker 1:
[84:52] No, Lenny. No, no. There were quite a few people, many who were murdered, politicians who tried to stop him, and he killed them, that weren't quite as excited as you and his secretary Trudy. There's a whole documentary about Hitler's secretary. She lived till she was like 100. Her name is Trudy. And what's crazy, I think those people were all in favor of all of it. And they're just sad it didn't work out. But this lady is in such denial at the time. She's dead now. But it's a great documentary. Trudy. Trudy. Just put in Hitler's secretary. Because she won a typing contest like in Berlin in 1930 something. And then she got picked and blah, blah, blah. But they kept saying to Trudy, this is just denial on a level that's unreal. Trudy, you were typing all this shit out. Did you not see the final solution? Did you not see?

Speaker 2:
[85:48] And she'd be like, oh, this is the details.

Speaker 1:
[85:52] I don't know, but he had wonderful German Shepherd puppies. He was so good visit dogs.

Speaker 2:
[85:58] Here, look.

Speaker 1:
[85:59] And then she's got a photo album of Hitler playing with German Shepherds. And she just kept going back to that. And I'm like, you know what? Who's ever making this movie? Just give up.

Speaker 3:
[86:08] Trudy.

Speaker 1:
[86:09] Trudy ain't buying. Trudy's not taking the bait.

Speaker 3:
[86:11] PhD in denial. Yes.

Speaker 1:
[86:14] But he's so much the dogs could sit and bark. And I was like, how many fucking things can you think of to talk about a dog? Uh-huh.

Speaker 3:
[86:22] Those are her talking points.

Speaker 1:
[86:23] A lot.

Speaker 3:
[86:24] When she's deposed.

Speaker 1:
[86:26] Oh, my God. But he loved the German Shepherds.

Speaker 3:
[86:29] You had the kind soul.

Speaker 1:
[86:30] This one was Rufus. This one was their name.

Speaker 3:
[86:34] This one is it, though?

Speaker 1:
[86:35] She knew their names. I know. All right, Tatar Nights.

Speaker 3:
[86:39] What do you... So, okay. What's the plan for Boston?

Speaker 1:
[86:41] I'm off to Boston. Well, I have my bars. My favorite chowder places.

Speaker 3:
[86:46] Your favorite chowder places?

Speaker 1:
[86:48] Absolutely, I do. And I love it. And I know it's touristy, but I don't care. I can't get a good clam chowder in Nashville or Omaha or wherever the hell I've been. Cleveland, Pittsburgh? No, no, no. Yes, Boston. I don't know, I might.

Speaker 3:
[87:07] I might go to the game.

Speaker 1:
[87:07] I might go to the game. Depends on the flights and stuff. And then hanging out. I have a cousin that lives there, her husband and kids.

Speaker 3:
[87:15] Fun.

Speaker 1:
[87:16] Yep, and Kelly McFarland. I like to hang out with Kelly.

Speaker 3:
[87:19] Wonderful.

Speaker 1:
[87:20] Yeah, I've already done all the other like touristy things, and it's gonna be cold. Well, for me, cold. I'm not, I put all my 49 degree clothes away. I have to go up in the attic and get a proper sweater, because I'm not gonna freeze my ass off. And yes, if you come to the show, I will have a long underwear underneath my clothes. Because those theaters, to me, at least backstage, I don't know what goes on out in front, but they're always cold. And then they get a space heater that looks like we're all gonna die. And they can't help it. These buildings are very old. There's nothing they can do about it. I get it. But my solution is take matters into your own hands, smalls. Show up with long underwear.

Speaker 3:
[87:57] Do it.

Speaker 1:
[87:58] Yep. I can't be freezing.

Speaker 3:
[87:59] Just got a note back. Tickets will be released no later than Thursday. Anything they're holding on to.

Speaker 1:
[88:05] Oh, for Boston? They'll be released by Thursday? Well, there you go.

Speaker 3:
[88:10] Tomorrow. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[88:11] Great. Well, there you go. If you guys want some. The Wilbur's an awesome place to see a show. It's like a club, theater, bar, nightclub, almost like a old supper club. Everything about it's great.

Speaker 3:
[88:22] Duckie the dog will be there.

Speaker 1:
[88:23] My favorite venue, person in charge of all time, Taylor is there and I can't wait to see Taylor. Yes.

Speaker 2:
[88:31] She's great.

Speaker 1:
[88:32] Like just a normal human being.

Speaker 2:
[88:34] And oh, that's it. Really?

Speaker 1:
[88:38] I only got away in the Yellowstone Rides. I'm gonna go play with my cats and then go meet my friend for dinner. And then I was invited to the John Daly Golf Tournament with the club today, but I already had things to do. So for the Arkansas Boys and Girls Club.

Speaker 3:
[88:57] Fun.

Speaker 1:
[88:58] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[89:00] Donate a little money.

Speaker 1:
[89:01] And John's nice, very nice to me. He knows me through Ron and blah, blah, blah. But no, and I'm kind of glad I'm not in it because it looks like there's 25 mile an hour winds right now.

Speaker 3:
[89:12] Tree out there is getting a little weird.

Speaker 1:
[89:13] Yeah. And it'll be a drunken fun shit show, which I'm in favor of.

Speaker 3:
[89:19] Maybe go for cocktails.

Speaker 1:
[89:21] Yeah. Maybe I'll cruise by after I go out to eat and see what's going on. He's got some country boys out there, some singers and stuff that are popular. I'm not going to mention names, but.

Speaker 3:
[89:32] Fun.

Speaker 1:
[89:33] Yes. I was alerted at an email. There'll be very strict security, which probably means my friend Donna's being like, y'all, unless you have a bracelet, you can't come in.

Speaker 2:
[89:48] All right, that's it. Ready?
