0:01

Hey

0:09

everybody, it's me Kathleen Madigan. Welcome

0:11

to Madigan's Pubcast. You grab yourself

0:13

a drink, pull up a bar stool,

0:15

and let's talk about what's been going

0:17

on. High fives!

0:24

It is episode 150.

0:29

Never would have thought this would go on this long.

0:32

Me neither. And going through

0:34

various incarnations and it's really

0:36

been fun. And the interaction is super fun

0:38

on the road, I get to see termites. Where

0:40

did I see some termites this week? Oh

0:43

shit,

0:43

sorry I didn't turn off my phone properly.

0:45

Sorry, hold on. Was

0:50

it in Boise, Reno?

0:53

Oh, no. Bucky's at the gas station. That

0:55

was the week before. It's all running together. I

1:00

don't remember, it'll come to me, but anyway. So

1:02

episode 150, we're going to do a little something special.

1:05

Well, I am.

1:06

Paddle says after the show.

1:08

I say during the show. I

1:10

was going to open champagne, but

1:12

I don't really like champagne as much as

1:15

I like moonshine. Yeah, and

1:17

it's our show, so we get to decide.

1:19

I'm picking the moonshine that's been in the fridge, the

1:21

Eggo waffle.

1:22

Cheers to the termites. Oh my

1:24

god, it's so good. It's

1:26

like Bailey's with a waffle. Like

1:29

who would think you could do that? And

1:32

then it'll have the buzz of a moonshine shot, which

1:34

is, they sneak up on you. Be careful moonshiners.

1:37

If you've never had it, Bob and Clark. It's

1:40

a dumb one too. To

1:43

go slowly. So many things. Oh

1:45

my god, so many things. Well,

1:48

let's just start with the road. I

1:51

had to laugh because I got to Reno

1:53

and they were out

1:56

of rental cars because

1:58

they were stuck. in

2:00

the mud at Burning Man. And

2:05

then the poor kid working at National,

2:08

she was like, well, and then when they

2:10

do come back, they're separate gross.

2:13

So like the detailing is

2:16

taking triple the time. I mean, I

2:18

was lucky I got out there and there's no other people,

2:21

but had there been like 10 other people in front of me, I'd have had

2:23

to wait, I don't even know, probably, I waited

2:25

like 25 minutes for a car to come around, and then

2:28

you're just lucky to have any car, because

2:30

the Burning

2:32

Man hashtag failures

2:35

left their cars stuck in mud, they can't get them

2:37

out. But also, are you really

2:40

doing Burning Man if you flew

2:42

to Reno and rented an SUV and drove an

2:44

hour 20 minutes? Nah, that

2:47

doesn't seem. But I will say on a

2:49

good point about Burning Man, there's a statue

2:51

in downtown Reno at night

2:53

that lights up, that's from Burning Man, it was

2:55

gifted to Reno, and it is a whale,

2:59

and it's like a million colors. It's

3:01

gorgeous, the artwork is worth it. We

3:03

just get out of this apocalyptic

3:05

thing,

3:06

and then there was like girl fighting, and

3:08

they just saw women beating the shit out of each

3:10

other. The art is so great, and

3:12

then the rest of it, you're like,

3:15

yeah, it's like

3:17

Lord of the Flies, or what's the

3:19

Hunger Games, or there's some

3:21

big article my friend Drew sent me about somebody who went

3:24

to Burning Man with no food, and then I'm going

3:26

to read about, and it was all fine

3:28

and dandy until shit got weird, and then all of a sudden

3:31

nobody's handing out food.

3:32

But why would you do that to begin with? Because

3:36

she wanted to write

3:36

an article, I guess. I don't know.

3:40

And Reno, Boise's always

3:42

great. There's an Egyptian theater downtown,

3:45

it's in Old Town, there's super cool

3:47

buildings, super fun bars,

3:49

Boise's great. I went to the tallest bar. I

3:51

went to the tallest bar in Boise, and me and my

3:53

friend John, some

3:56

of you may know him as Hibbyman is the comic, but his real

3:58

name is John, and he uses that on stage out. on.

4:01

Yeah, we, I

4:03

don't know, we retired. And I'm like, let's

4:05

just go over there. And it, it said

4:08

Rams sports bar something I want to watch the

4:10

tennis and but it

4:13

said the world's tallest bar. But

4:15

I don't in Boise, but I don't, I

4:18

don't think it is

4:20

Boise's tallest bar, right? Well, tall

4:22

as more. It just seems like there'd be ones that

4:24

are taller. Yeah,

4:26

downtown in the old buildings, I guess. I

4:28

don't know. I mean, they're probably not

4:30

lying. It just seemed like

4:32

a weird thing.

4:34

But that was the theme of this weekend.

4:36

Seems like a weird thing. Reno,

4:38

I don't even want to discuss

4:40

the travel, what occurred.

4:43

But I will say I now know I can run eight

4:46

minutes without stopping. And I

4:48

did it through the Salt Lake Airport. And

4:52

john, the other comedian, who

4:54

was opening for me this weekend, john is quite

4:56

a bit older than me and only started going

4:58

to a gym one year ago. And I

5:01

said, john, do you think you got it in you? And

5:03

he's like, yeah, man, I don't know. We're gonna find

5:05

out right.

5:08

Well, we're gonna find out or we're not leaving. We're

5:11

not gonna get out of this airport. We're gonna stay in Salt

5:13

Lake until we're dead, because this is the last flight

5:15

to Reno and the other one sold out. We made

5:17

it. He ran like a it

5:20

was like chariots of fire. But we had also

5:22

had a beer. Well, no two beers

5:25

in the boysies

5:27

airport and and

5:29

craft beers. So I said to john,

5:31

not only did we do it at our age,

5:34

and after he smoked all the weed in the

5:36

world, I smoked all the things.

5:38

We did it and we did it

5:40

post drinking. Most

5:42

people go jogging and then drink

5:44

we do that

5:48

I had to go back because there was a luggage issue. I

5:50

went back to the airport at midnight came back to downtown

5:52

Reno.

5:53

You can't you've got to go once to experience

5:56

it. Here's what's weird inside the casino. Beautiful.

5:59

There's a restaurants that are great. My friend

6:01

Ken

6:02

who ran the casino in Missouri for years,

6:04

he's in charge, and his wife Dana's really nice. Everything

6:07

you could ever imagine.

6:08

Outside of Reno, and what's weird is City

6:11

Hall is right there.

6:12

There couldn't have been a more perfect

6:15

synopsis of

6:17

downtown Reno.

6:18

There was a furry that

6:20

I think was a bear, but

6:22

could have been a dog.

6:26

It could have been a dog or a bear. Well,

6:28

it wasn't a great costume, but it was very,

6:31

it was all encompassing. It was like on a

6:33

lime scooter at 12

6:35

30 at night just doing

6:37

circles and no one looked

6:40

at it. There's all these people standing

6:42

out there and I thought, wow, they think

6:45

that's totally normal. I don't know if it

6:47

was a lime or skateboard or,

6:50

yeah, just, but the crowds

6:52

were great. Everything was great. And

6:53

speaking of that, this is a lot of stuff backstage.

6:56

I'm going to go through it quickly in case people don't

6:58

like this part. You could fast forward, but I like to

7:01

thank people because people put a lot of work into this stuff.

7:04

Chris sent me what I'm drinking. It's a revision

7:06

beer. And there's, I guess, out

7:08

West there's

7:09

a whole, what

7:11

you call it, brewery of this.

7:14

Yeah, I never heard of it. It's one of the top breweries

7:16

in the United States. It's won many awards and

7:19

then the cans are awesome. And he knows I like

7:21

a cool cat. This is a star

7:23

star and there's a shark on the front. Delicious.

7:26

Thank you, Chris. What are we, I'm going to eat some.

7:29

This guy,

7:29

I'm not sure if it's a girl or a guy. Ken

7:32

sent me, yeah,

7:34

Ken's a guy. It's

7:37

barbecue sauce, made in Boise. He likes

7:39

it on French fries. Let's see.

7:42

It's called MFT, my

7:45

family tradition sauce. I thought it

7:47

was going to say motherfucking something. See,

7:50

I got to clean up my mind. It's

7:52

tough

7:56

to get out. There we go.

7:58

Oh yeah. Oh, I see. Oh, yeah.

7:59

Whoops, that came out super fast. It's

8:02

the barbecue sauce. Yeah, I don't think of barbecue

8:05

in the northwest.

8:07

Ew.

8:07

I'm not insulting them.

8:10

I'm just saying people think of Texas, Kansas

8:12

City, St. Louis, Memphis. What

8:14

do you think of Texas? Oh,

8:18

my, it's good.

8:20

Yeah, I could see this on french fries. Yeah,

8:24

MFT.

8:26

No

8:27

high fructose corn syrup. Usually

8:29

I don't like things without it. Yeah,

8:31

no, it's gluten free. I could share with my sister

8:34

and her gluten stomach. Yeah. Oh

8:36

really good. Thanks, Ken. I like it. I

8:40

don't know. I don't ever go get barbecue.

8:44

Like in Seattle, I think fish. Not.

8:47

I'm going to go get a barbecue brisket.

8:52

I'm saying the northwest. What do

8:54

you call Idaho? To me it's the northwest.

8:58

Not really. No. West.

9:02

It's under Canada. Oh,

9:04

this

9:05

person

9:07

watched all the way back. Pam and Jude all the way back

9:09

when I read that story time. Gifts

9:11

from Eastern Idaho. They brought all kinds of beer. This

9:14

spud thing. I'm going to taste it. But I'm going to warn you.

9:16

I'm not a coconut person. See,

9:18

it says Idaho's flood. Isn't that adorable? And

9:20

it looks it's a candy bar. I

9:23

don't know.

9:28

Well,

9:30

I like the inside. It's

9:32

like a Milky Way. Then there's

9:34

chocolate around it. Well,

9:36

then they put coconut on the outside. I

9:39

wonder if there's one without the coconut. They

9:41

fucked up my Milky Way. Exactly

9:44

what they did. Idaho candy

9:46

company. The middle is great. I would sit here and

9:48

pick all that off if I was a child.

9:51

Yeah, I always hated it when

9:54

my brother was my brother's Joe's birthday because my

9:56

mom would cook any kind of cake you wanted. That was what you

9:58

got for your birthday.

9:59

present too but

10:01

10:03

chocolate cake and I'm like yeah

10:06

11:59

Texas, I guess.

12:01

And bears,

12:04

Hariboo bears, gummy bears. You

12:06

have no idea how many times that really saves a flight

12:09

when you're starving. And let me tell you what

12:11

goes good with Hariboo bears, Avodka cranberry.

12:16

All this, everything aligns.

12:18

And then I take all the green bears, and

12:20

I put them aside, and I smash them to death

12:23

and give them to the flight attendant is trash. And

12:26

then I line up all the other bears on my tray table.

12:30

And then one by one, I eat them, but I

12:32

eat them like an army that's going away.

12:35

And then I wait to

12:35

see if the person in the seat next to me thinks there's

12:37

anything wrong with me.

12:39

Because they're

12:41

sticky on the bottom, kind of. They're gummy.

12:43

So they'll stick

12:44

to your tray table. And then boom,

12:47

boom, boom. And then as soon as Avodka cranberry

12:49

comes, the war is on. And I eat

12:52

all the soldiers.

12:56

This is what happens when you don't read

12:58

on planes, people. I always

13:01

see somebody with a real book, and I'm like, really? Huh.

13:06

Haven't done that in a while. And I've been carrying around

13:08

a book for a year, and I haven't read one

13:10

page of it. I don't know what I'm

13:12

reading, but it's not books. I mean, I like books.

13:14

But you've got to be able to, I

13:17

don't know, too many can activate flights. Oh

13:20

my god, this lady.

13:23

I'm not sure who this

13:26

13:28

13:30

show at Bimbo's in San Francisco. I did.

13:33

13:35

13:40

us at a place called Bimbo's. I'm

13:43

13:51

on HBO. And it was me and Sandra

13:53

Bernhardt and Margaret Cho and whomever.

13:55

I don't even remember who else. And then they're like, yeah.

13:58

And it opens up. And it just says Bimbo.

13:59

And then it's us.

14:01

I mean I was so young I couldn't

14:03

argue it, but I mean what am I gonna do? I'm not gonna get a venue

14:06

16:17

So then when I hang out by Christmas tree, I can review

16:19

the year.

16:20

Yeah, I don't really have any

16:24

16:29

This guy left me, you get these medals. Like

16:31

I got a bunch of these in Iraq and Afghanistan. And

16:35

this lady brought one, which is

16:37

very sweet because I don't know how many they get to

16:57

nice. And

16:59

if I ever go to Montana, they'll take me fishing. Which

17:02

I would like to do. These are things I want to do in retirement

17:04

though. I don't want to do them while I'm

17:07

working because it's too crazy.

17:09

17:23

looks like it took forever. It's beautiful. I'll

19:04

even Tay Tay. She's

19:07

getting ready to go to Europe. Update! They

19:10

have named the giraffe the all-brown

19:12

one with no puzzle pieces on it and they've

19:15

named it in Swahili

19:18

this means unique

19:19

they've named it Kippakee. Yeah

19:22

too. Kip

19:25

for short. Yep so

19:28

there you go.

19:29

Um well wait a second too. I

19:31

didn't print this article out because I don't need to print the article

19:33

out but this is an update.

19:37

So I told you guys last week about

19:39

the Wisconsin bar

19:41

that said

19:42

if you come down here and watch the

19:44

Jets anytime the Jets are

19:46

playing they don't have

19:48

to be playing Green Bay they can be playing

19:50

anyone

19:51

and if Aaron Rodgers starts the game

19:54

and the Jets lose your bar tab

19:56

is free. So on

19:59

the game

20:01

Monday in head football, I keep thinking of it, Sunday or Monday,

20:04

against the bills. Aaron, if

20:06

you didn't see it, and I keep this sport

20:08

short because I know a lot of people don't give a

20:11

shit,

20:11

he did start the game

20:12

and he played for about three minutes, four

20:15

plays, snap, Achilles tendon,

20:17

torn. Now if you're sitting in that bar

20:20

in Wisconsin, you go,

20:22

he did start, so that counts,

20:25

and you just assume

20:27

you're going to win that, the bills will win now

20:29

because the bills are supposed to be good and they got Josh Allen

20:31

and all this stuff.

20:32

Well,

20:33

they were winning,

20:34

and then overtime game, and

20:36

the Jets won.

20:37

So those people

20:40

drank all the way up to overtime

20:42

thinking it's all free.

20:47

I hope everyone drank within

20:50

their economic limits because

20:53

that would be crazy if you were a bunch of

20:55

20-somethings and you're like, sha, cha, cha, cha,

20:58

cha, cha, cha, and then you're

20:59

going, at the end of the night, your

21:01

bar tab is 250 bucks and there's kids in there with

21:03

like 28 bucks.

21:04

Man, I thought it was free. I thought

21:07

it was

21:07

all going to be free. No.

21:09

So

21:10

they say they're still going to do the promotion at the bar.

21:12

I don't understand why though, because if Aaron Rodgers

21:14

isn't playing, just

21:16

because

21:17

he picked them, because I'm like,

21:19

isn't the idea to beat Aaron? Wasn't that

21:21

because you're mad that he left? And I would

21:23

have been glad if he left in Green Bay. I think he's a whining,

21:27

whining little narcissist, and every

21:29

year he keeps Green Bay on the hook. Well,

21:31

I don't know. I'm going to go into the darkness and then

21:34

I'll decide when I come out of the darkness.

21:37

And then I don't know. I got some hateful texts.

21:41

And like, dude, are you playing or you're

21:43

not? And you're getting old. He's 39. I

21:46

just said,

21:47

see ya, wouldn't want to be ya. Come on, Jordan.

21:49

The next guy who I said would be good. And

21:51

he was great on Sunday. I don't know if that'll hold

21:53

up. Don't hold me to that. Who's

21:56

on your fantasy quarterback? Does anyone?

21:58

Well, I have Aaron on the cover. fantasy things

22:00

because he was all that was left because I got a shitty

22:03

pic I had Jalen

22:05

hurts and then it's usually Aaron so I'm gonna have to dump

22:07

his ass and then I'm gonna have to take somebody

22:09

you've never even heard of yeah

22:12

well the Wisconsin Bar

22:14

is still gonna keep the thing going

22:16

yeah they're

22:18

betting against his mistress yeah

22:20

but um

22:23

and here's the thing now Aaron I

22:25

think you just bought a nine million dollar

22:27

home in New Jersey

22:28

great you can sit

22:31

in the winter in the when

22:33

it's cold it's snowing and icy and you

22:36

won't be on TV and you won't be playing sports

22:38

I like to call that snap karma

22:41

yeah I'm with Tay Tay on that one the

22:45

update we have a trader update oh and it

22:47

hits close to home the zip

22:50

tie guy and his mama from Nashville

22:53

24:24

years of supervised release Mm-hmm

24:28

Yeah, well now and you know now you're

24:30

24:33

This was a planned activity Everybody

24:35

in Nashville knows what it involved traveling from Nashville

24:38

to DC So you don't do that casually and

24:40

it was planned and coordinated coming from Superior

24:43

forces of various kinds and instructing

24:45

them what to do and what they did

24:47

And this is also important Has

24:50

tried to intervene in one of those ceremonial

24:52

method

24:53

of democracy. Yeah

24:54

Well, she is from Woodstock, Georgia,

24:56

which is a suburb of Atlanta

24:58

So she I think

25:01

they went together which means she drove here To

25:04

go there unless he picked

25:06

her up You'd have to go south

25:08

for that though

25:12

Maybe That's

25:15

it zip tie guy have fun zip

25:17

tie guy update update update update update

25:21

I'm

25:23

Pretty fascinated with the BTK

25:25

keep zero killer.

25:26

Okay, cuz the Midwest

25:30

We don't get a lot of attention So

25:33

sometimes any attention is better than

25:35

no attention and as far as

25:37

serial killers go the Midwest chimes

25:40

in with some Top ten. Yeah

25:42

some doozers some top tens Jeffrey Dahmer.

25:44

Where's Scott on

25:46

John Wayne Gacy? Illinois

25:48

Yeah,

25:51

well anyway

25:55

It's a cold winter and

25:57

the drinking gets crazy and the next thing you

25:59

know

25:59

murdered my neighbor and

26:05

I might murder another no one

26:08

father so

26:10

Dennis radar the BTK

26:12

killer

26:13

they searched his home recently as we have talked about

26:16

in this podcast

26:16

and they went they found this cubbyhole

26:19

where he had all these drawings and

26:21

bizarrely enough he's a pretty good artist

26:24

I gotta say I I think

26:27

I can draw but I couldn't draw

26:29

these are quite good um

26:32

but they found all

26:34

these photographs of women like in barns

26:36

on

26:37

but they're tied up they're horrifying pictures but

26:39

they're like sitting on bales of hay so they're in

26:41

a barn or near a silo

26:45

so then they think that he he says he has didn't killed

26:47

any more people than everybody knows about but they're like

26:49

yeah I think he might have well then they

26:51

found all this shit very recently well one

26:53

of the women depicted in the drawings done by self-proclaimed

26:55

BTK serial killer Dennis radar

26:57

has possibly been possibly been identified

27:00

so they're gonna go back to these drawings

27:03

and find out all these missing women

27:05

and try to match them up Osage

27:09

County Sheriff Eddie verden would

27:12

not to close disclose further details of the

27:14

possible ID of the woman who was depicted

27:16

as wearing and he's got like she has a green

27:18

dress on and pigtails

27:22

I know it's it's awful but it's really

27:24

glad that at least these people maybe if they can find

27:26

out that's what happened to their kid they

27:27

won't spend the rest of their life wondering

27:30

although I don't know maybe I don't know that with

27:32

you that it would happen to have to happen to you to

27:34

have any idea what any what would be

27:36

better or not um

27:39

his daughter's highly involved which

27:42

I really give

27:42

her credit for because you'd be um you'd

27:45

be really easy to go fuck this I'm not I'm

27:47

not I'm moving away I'm having nothing to

27:49

do with it I don't want any I want to live my

27:51

life

27:53

but she's she's been quite

27:55

helpful um

27:59

they think that this bar

27:59

that he keeps drawing was closely, it was

28:02

positioned next to a silo which was likely

28:05

a favorite haunt of radars. He

28:07

often sketched, he honed his skills in

28:10

college at drafting class. My

28:12

father did a lot of drafting at our house, he drew plans

28:14

for the garden,

28:15

that's what Carrie, the daughter

28:17

said, and my dad needed to be always

28:20

outside and to be in the air and winter was hard

28:22

for him so we had to find things for him to do because when

28:24

he got inside and cooped up he would get angry.

28:26

Yeah,

28:26

yeah. My

28:29

father absolutely loves barns and silos,

28:31

every time we drove around going camping, fishing

28:33

to college he'd absolutely say this

28:36

one, like he'd say, I want to retire here

28:38

and then he would tease my mom about it and then after

28:40

he was arrested we found out later

28:41

that he had massive fantasies about those

28:43

specific locations so now we're

28:45

driving around trying to find those by memory

28:48

and noting them because we need to go

28:50

see is there anybody missing or buried there.

28:53

Oh

28:54

god. Yeah,

28:56

so they're gonna go through them all but

29:00

they uncovered what he had called a hidey

29:02

hole.

29:03

It contained new evidence not previously discovered

29:05

by law enforcement

29:06

on the lot that was once his family home. Bondage

29:08

materials were also blah blah blah.

29:10

So well, they may have identified one at the start,

29:13

you know, good for them. Good for

29:15

them putting the money into it because

29:16

a lot of people would say, look, I don't know what these drawings

29:19

are, he could have just made that shit up. It may not even be

29:21

real, you know.

29:22

Okay, moving on. Holy

29:25

shit,

29:26

they found it.

29:28

This is crazy.

29:31

While doing renovations on his property, a

29:33

Portuguese man stumbled upon a fossilized

29:36

sauropod,

29:37

the biggest found ever in Europe.

29:40

It's a dinosaur. He found a

29:42

whole one intact in his backyard.

29:45

It all started in 2017. Yeah, and it's 82 feet

29:49

long.

29:52

It's one of the biggest specimens ever discovered

29:54

in Europe, perhaps in the world. It's

29:56

not unusual to find all the ribs,

29:58

let alone at the

29:59

in this position,

30:01

but the fact that they found the whole thing, it's

30:04

completely unheard of. And then there's pictures

30:06

of people sitting by it and they look like tiny, tiny,

30:09

tiny flies.

30:11

It's so big. Wow. Yeah.

30:15

So good for you, Portuguese man. Also

30:17

we found, oh yeah, they found it.

30:19

This is really cool.

30:20

A ship that sank over 140 years

30:22

ago found in nearly pristine condition

30:25

with the crew's possessions. Whoa.

30:28

A ship that sunk in Lake Michigan 142 years

30:30

ago was found nearly

30:33

fully intact by Wisconsin historians. The

30:35

schooner Trinidad was discovered 270

30:38

feet deep in Lake Michigan off the coast of Algoma,

30:41

Algoma, I don't know how to say it, Wisconsin,

30:44

by historians Brendan and

30:46

Bob. Their last names are too hard to say.

30:48

The wreck is amongst the best. Brendan

30:51

and Bob. Yeah. Brendan and

30:53

Bob found it. So what? Buy

30:56

him a beer. Fast-preserved shipwrecks in the Wisconsin

30:58

waters with her deck house still intact

31:01

containing the crew's possessions and

31:03

her anchors and deck gear still present.

31:06

It sank in late 1881.

31:08

These guys found it in July using survivor

31:11

accounts and historical records, then

31:13

side scanner sonar to hone in

31:15

on the vessel's location. During

31:18

the passage of time, the vessel was nearly, despite

31:22

the passage of time, the vessel was in nearly

31:24

pristine condition. The ship's wheel

31:26

was found on the sea floor without a piece missing.

31:29

The main portion of the boat was intact with the

31:31

poles detached.

31:33

Yeah. I don't know. The

31:36

schooner,

31:37

similar to a sailboat with

31:38

extra sails,

31:39

was primarily used in the grain trade between

31:41

Milwaukee, Chicago and Oswego. Where?

31:44

Where my friends Mary and Tommy live. Yeah. And

31:47

then on its final voyage

31:49

it sank. So how crazy is that? Yeah.

31:53

Get it up. Bring it up.

31:54

Do it. Bring it up. All

31:57

right. This.

32:00

I don't even know. I'm

32:03

gonna start a section called what the fuck

32:04

Because there's stuff where

32:06

you read the thing and go

32:08

really did this really happen?

32:11

Yeah, the

32:13

Coast Guard arrest a man

32:16

trying hold on the Coast

32:18

Guard remember

32:21

Trying to run a giant hamster

32:22

wheel across the Atlantic

32:25

But

32:26

the picture of this thing will

32:28

put it in the show notes the schnoz also

32:31

notice His name is Risa

32:34

Baluchi

32:35

it it He

32:39

they've called it a hydropod

32:40

If you

32:42

picture a hamster wheel

32:44

But then if the hamster wheel on the outside

32:46

of it had flotation orange

32:49

devices Sort of like

32:51

bumpers or or what what

32:53

are the dates? You tie your

32:55

boat up to? No,

32:57

no, no out in the ocean in

33:00

the bay a mooring ball. Yeah,

33:02

it looks like plastic

33:04

mooring balls in a circle on each wheel

33:06

and then he's inside of it

33:09

both wait wait a year

33:11

before he got

33:13

Try as he might

33:14

Risa can't reach his destination without

33:16

running a fall of the Coast Guard

33:18

The key problem is his vessel a giant

33:20

floating hamster wheel made of

33:23

Made of buoys

33:26

and wires self-propelled by

33:28

him running inside

33:32

He lives in Florida

33:34

he was he's but granted asylum

33:37

for up from Iran

33:38

I'm sure Iran went you can have hamster man. Do

33:41

you want him? Sure. No problem. Here

33:43

he is Here's his wheel Here's

33:46

his hamster food and here's his little

33:48

hay sawdust puts out at the bottom

33:50

of his cage at night

33:54

He was taken in by the Coast Guard

33:57

last week

33:57

aboard his vessel following several days

34:00

of back and forth with the authorities. According

34:02

to a criminal complaint,

34:04

the Coast Guard gutter Valiant came across

34:07

Riza and his homemade vessel about 70

34:10

nautical miles east of Tybee Island,

34:12

Georgia. He made

34:15

it 70 miles. Well

34:19

what happens when you stop running? You

34:21

got to sleep, you're just gonna float to who knows

34:23

where.

34:27

The Coast Guard found him as they were

34:29

preparing for the hurricane.

34:31

Tybee Island is already off Georgia,

34:34

it's already far.

34:37

He told officers his

34:39

destination was London. More

34:41

than 4,000 miles away.

34:49

But they, Riza was asked for

34:51

the vehicle's registration.

34:54

What kind of Coast Guard going?

34:55

Can I see registration? Dude there's

34:57

no registration for this.

34:59

Look at the hamster wheel. Totally

35:03

he did. He said it was registered

35:05

in Florida but he couldn't find the reservation

35:08

at the moment. The Coast Guard assessed that

35:10

his vessel known as a hydropod

35:12

and determined that he was conducting

35:14

a manifestly

35:15

unsafe voyage.

35:19

It does not identify his starting

35:21

point but it had to be land. Or did

35:25

someone drive him in a boat and

35:26

let him roll off the boat? The

35:29

officers then approached him in a small boat

35:31

and instructed him to join them.

35:33

They were ending his voyage due to it being unsafe.

35:36

He replied that he had a 12-inch knife and

35:38

would attempt to kill himself

35:39

if the officers attempted to remove him

35:41

from his hamster wheel. The officers

35:44

returned to the cutter and stayed nearby. When

35:46

the officers tried again over the next day or two to

35:48

get him to join him on a small boat, he brought

35:50

out two knives and he threatened to hurt himself

35:53

if they boarded his vessel. He also threatened

35:55

to blow himself up along with the vessels. The

35:57

officers saw him holding wires

35:59

in his

35:59

hands and believed him.

36:04

The following day a second

36:06

Coast Guard cutter named Campbell arrived and sent a

36:08

small boat to deliver him food and water and

36:10

word that a hurricane was coming. He again

36:12

refused to leave the vessel and told

36:14

the officers the bomb wasn't real.

36:20

A third vessel was sent a smaller

36:22

boat and they got him out

36:24

that he agreed to go. I don't know why he changed

36:26

his mind. He was brought ashore while

36:29

his case is underway. He's barred from travel outside

36:32

of the Southern District of Florida and he may

36:34

not go he may not go to

36:36

the ocean or board a vessel on the ocean.

36:39

This is not his first try. He

36:41

tried it with similar homemade vessels in 2014, 16, and 21 all

36:43

which resulted in the US Coast

36:47

Guard intervention.

36:48

He's a man of big dreams. Not

36:51

after long after arriving in the US he was

36:53

profiled in the New York Times and began a quest to

36:56

run across the country Forrest Gump style.

36:58

He repeatedly finished the coast-to-coast

37:00

journey not once but twice.

37:02

He did it. This

37:05

kind of guy is good crazy if

37:07

somebody can help him. I mean

37:09

if he ran across

37:10

the country twice in a Forrest Gump thing like actually

37:13

anything if he did it for to raise

37:15

money or something people would donate. Let's

37:17

put this guy to work. I don't think he should be in his hamster

37:19

wheel going to London. I'm not gonna support that.

37:21

He'll die.

37:24

This guy makes me have

37:26

to drink moonshine. He said he has a video

37:29

where

37:31

he

37:33

explains his motivation

37:35

in using unusual means of travel.

37:38

If you drive by a boat if you drive by boat

37:40

nobody cares.

37:43

Okay the

37:46

Coast Guard guy said it was the most bizarre case

37:48

I've ever been involved with.

37:53

He redesigned his hamster wheel in 2021

37:56

when it came on tour.

37:59

He has not made it to New York. I

38:02

kind of hope he tries again, but I don't want to see the guy die.

38:04

He's going to die. I mean, you can't keep, you can't.

38:06

And he didn't even know a hurricane was coming.

38:08

He's too busy running in his hamster

38:10

wheel. Speaking

38:14

of hurricanes, hey, Ohio,

38:16

Tennessee, other states in the middle,

38:19

are you seeing flamingos?

38:21

You will be because they

38:23

got Adelia,

38:25

Hurricane Adelia blew

38:27

them all off course and they're out of range. There's

38:30

showing up in Tennessee and in usual parts of the

38:32

country after being displaced by Hurricane Adelia. Tennessee

38:35

Wildlife Resources Agency confirmed it's not uncommon

38:37

to find birds that have been

38:40

blown off course or out of their typical range. They've

38:43

been seen. Here's where you can see them.

38:45

Keep an eye out.

38:46

Virginia, Ohio, South Carolina,

38:49

North Carolina, Alabama, Texas, Kentucky,

38:52

and Pennsylvania in addition to Tennessee. Although

38:55

non-migratory, the American flamingo

38:58

is a strong flyer and capable of vast

39:00

flying distances. They're mostly found

39:02

in Cuba. Oh, there's a shit ton in Florida. Yeah. There's

39:05

like a million at Gatorland in Orlando.

39:08

And I can't believe the Gators don't eat them. They

39:10

land right next to them.

39:13

Yeah. They're rarely aggressive towards

39:15

humans, but they shouldn't be approached.

39:17

They're naturally afraid of people and may attack if they feel threatened.

39:21

So you know, just get your phone out. Take a nice

39:23

picture because you shouldn't go get

39:25

them. Wisconsin, guess what you're getting?

39:27

Ah, no,

39:30

you're getting a buck.

39:33

Now one place I haven't been in America

39:35

and I've always wanted to go. My cousin Mary

39:37

and her husband used to take their boys

39:39

up there all the time is the Wisconsin Dell's.

39:41

Have you ever been?

39:43

Yep. Did you? Did you?

39:46

Dax. He goes there. Yeah.

39:49

A lot of Chicago people, my Chicago

39:51

pals. Well anyway, I've never been,

39:53

but I'd like to go. Where should I go? Wisconsinites.

39:55

Where in the Dell should I go? I'll do it.

39:58

I'll go next summer.

40:00

They're gonna start construction

40:03

in May, 20 million dollar travel center, 40

40:06

miles from the Wisconsin Delta

40:07

hotspot known for tours for amusement water parks. Well,

40:09

I don't want a water park. Please no water parks.

40:12

No. I have age now. You're

40:14

good on that. I'm good. I just want a nice

40:16

little

40:17

on the lake type thing. Yeah.

40:20

I'm good. I'm good.

40:23

There is still, it's

40:25

a, and they're still in the final

40:27

approval, but they'll get it. So there

40:29

you go.

40:30

Wisconsin. Great. All right.

40:34

Let me see if I can find the other. Okay. They're

40:37

gas stations.

40:39

They're still pretty good though. Their

40:41

gas stations

40:42

are good because they're loaded with cheese. The Wisconsin

40:44

gas stations here. You're like, this doesn't look right

40:46

in a gas station. There's freezers full of

40:48

it.

40:48

It's amazing. This

40:53

one's for the Catholics.

40:56

Very, very

40:58

rare. We send things on tour

41:00

in the religion of Catholicism,

41:02

but we are, guess what we're

41:05

sending out on tour? Catholics.

41:08

Most of, I looked up most of the locations are in the Midwest.

41:12

Chicago's getting it a lot. A

41:15

lot of churches, a lot of churches. The

41:17

arm belonging to the cousin

41:20

of Jesus, AKA

41:23

St. Jude, will be on tour

41:25

in

41:25

the United States. His arm. His

41:28

arm? His arm is going on tour. Like

41:32

I have to battle enough for stages

41:35

and selling tickets and

41:37

now I got to compete against an arm. It'll

41:39

be the first time the relic, which the

41:42

church says is the arm of St. Jude

41:44

Thaddeus. I didn't know

41:46

St. Jude had another name. St.

41:49

Jude is a saint

41:50

of lost souls.

41:54

I never heard of St. Jude. It's left Italy. It's

41:57

on its way. Registered

41:59

as a patron. the lost causes and desperate

42:01

situations. A visit provides an opportunity for

42:03

individuals to

42:04

experience intimacy

42:06

with someone who dwells in heaven and beholds

42:08

God face to face. Father Carlos Martins,

42:11

director of treasures of the church

42:13

said, it

42:14

allows

42:17

people to receive his blessing and entrust

42:19

him with their petitions.

42:23

How are you going to get an arm through TSA?

42:25

I think you're going to have to

42:26

fly privately. I think you're going to have

42:28

to or you're going to take a boat and

42:31

a bus and an Uber. No

42:33

Uber driver is saying, can I see what's in your thing? I can't

42:35

think you have an arm. Jude

42:38

was one of Christ's apostles.

42:39

He was believed to

42:41

have, he

42:42

was believed to have martyred in Beirut several

42:45

decades

42:45

after Christ's crucifixion. His

42:48

body was transferred to a tomb in St. Peter's

42:50

Basilica and roamed several centuries

42:52

after he was martyred. According

42:54

to

42:55

St. Peter, Jude's arm was placed in a wooden

43:00

box shaped like a priest hand giving a blessing.

43:03

How did his arm fall off? I tried

43:06

to Google this too. I do my homework for

43:08

this show.

43:08

And I'm like, well, how, why do we only have an arm?

43:13

I'll email the Pope. All

43:15

right. This is this. I don't know why.

43:19

I'm going

43:20

to have

43:21

to. I don't know why this makes me laugh. So

43:24

I'm Brady. How

43:27

great would it be if he became a jet?

43:30

Yeah. The Jets

43:33

need a quarterback now. Why

43:35

not tell me so what

43:37

he's perfectly healthy. Get up. Come

43:41

on. I do.

43:43

But I've seen people were posting memes

43:45

of him and he looks good in green too. I

43:47

mean, he's so handsome. He looks good in everything. Tom

43:50

Brady joins Delta Airlines as strategic

43:52

advisor and first of its kind multi-year

43:54

partnership. Listen, listen,

43:57

Delta, I have over 2 million

43:59

miles.

43:59

Two million!

44:01

I know a shit ton more about your airline.

44:04

I was on it all this week. I

44:05

was gonna say I want to give him

44:07

the Tom rating. No, I'm not giving

44:10

Tom my miles. Tom's a multi-millionaire.

44:12

No, I'm gonna use him in retirement. But

44:16

I should be your strategic

44:19

advisor. Yeah. But Tom's

44:21

way cuter. And here's what I think. All

44:24

they would have to do. Tom doesn't even need to. What

44:26

does Tom know about fucking Delta? What was the list? I'm Tom

44:28

was on Delta. Stop it. Yeah,

44:32

yeah, come on. He's either he

44:34

was either on a team plane or flying privately.

44:37

Him and Giselle aren't standing in

44:40

the Delta lounge going

44:42

up to Cranberry. And are

44:44

they gonna bring the eggs out or is

44:47

that over? Are

44:49

we moving into lunch?

44:50

Because

44:51

my flight leaves in 20 minutes and

44:53

I'm starving. Oh, God.

44:59

I do think though if you just put pictures

45:02

of Tom right at the bottom of the um

45:04

so

45:05

when you're getting on the plane and just

45:07

put his picture on the side with him winking

45:09

going you're a winner.

45:11

Well,

45:14

it'd make me happy. You're blushing. I don't

45:16

know about other people. He's

45:18

just the spirit of greatness. You

45:21

just know, even if you're not a Patriot

45:23

fan, he gets over it. He was great. It's

45:25

like but he always seems fun and he's smiling

45:28

unlike some other quote, you know, goats

45:31

that don't seem so fun. Now,

45:33

I'm not gonna say who. I think we know.

45:38

I just don't understand. They're gonna have

45:40

him.

45:41

Um, he's gonna advise

45:44

on strategic training and teamwork tools for

45:46

more than 90,000 employees.

45:50

Well, if he's gonna go give their speeches like

45:52

the corporate gigs like I do corporate gigs at night because

45:54

you need Jokey the clown at night. The serious people

45:58

are the daytime speakers. I like to sneak.

45:59

down there and see who's speaking. But quite

46:02

frankly, it's usually boring as all

46:04

get-out. But the people have to sit

46:06

there.

46:07

He's going to work positively to impact communities

46:10

where employees live and work.

46:12

I don't believe Tom will be doing hardly any

46:14

of these things. But

46:17

good for him. They're

46:19

going to have a partnership to integrate his

46:21

spirit of winning and passion and inspiring people.

46:23

You know what would be more fun? Honestly,

46:26

have him got

46:28

a Delta hub

46:31

down any terminal thing

46:34

by the gates and have him throw footballs to people.

46:36

I love it. People would love it.

46:40

No, you'd have to have to say you have to arrive

46:43

an hour early at your gate

46:45

if you'd like to pass the ball with Tom.

46:49

There's so many more fun things. They're making him do

46:51

corporate things. Like, don't do that. No.

46:55

Yeah, well, this

46:58

is what they say they're going

46:59

to do with him. Good for you, Tom. You're

47:01

getting another job because God knows

47:03

you need it. God.

47:08

Oh, he'll

47:08

be at their corporate shindigs. I

47:10

did one for them a very, very long time ago. They were

47:12

super fun, I will say. All of the Delta

47:15

people.

47:18

This is why I fly

47:19

Delta every week I can. Some weeks I can't.

47:22

Some weeks I have to cheat on them and fly

47:24

Southwest. And then maybe this week I have

47:26

to cheat on them and fly American. It

47:28

is sad times. What are you going to do?

47:33

We're going to talk about the children for a minute.

47:37

Actually, it's not even

47:39

really the chil... Well, yeah,

47:41

it's the children. Sorry to report. This

47:43

does not apply to all children. There's been

47:45

some very bad behavior going on lately.

47:48

Protesters glued their feet to the floor at

47:50

the US Open, which I was watching. The

47:55

Coco Golf

47:58

and Carolina Muchova was interrupted

48:00

by climate protesters early in the second set one

48:02

of the protesters gluing their feet to the floor of

48:04

the stands at Arthur Ash Stadium

48:07

She was getting the ready to serve took 40 minutes

48:09

to get these freaks out. Look,

48:11

I don't disagree that the climate

48:14

is bonkers I'm not science person.

48:16

I don't know what exactly is happening But

48:19

will we have hurricane fives in Omaha

48:22

shit's gone weird and I know that and

48:24

I understand they want to make a point But that

48:26

is bullshit There are two people

48:28

out there playing for something They've worked their whole fucking

48:31

life for and you're gonna be that

48:33

jackass and you're gonna cause it and and

48:35

you know what? Coco they I don't know what the other

48:37

lady said. She was really nice about it

48:40

I'm sorry a 40-minute break

48:42

when we're doing something physical

48:43

and then I got to go sit in the locker room and do what? because

48:46

you guys

48:48

Nobody's you don't win

48:50

friends and acquaintances as we know from the book a long

48:52

time ago By doing

48:55

shit that upsets the majority

48:57

This is not the way to go about it

49:00

It's the same with gluing themselves to art and

49:02

this is really bad because at least art whoever

49:05

did it's most likely dead These

49:07

two women are alive and they're playing their ass

49:09

off They've worked a whole lives for this moment and

49:11

you know, they have shirts on it's a

49:14

and fossil fuels Do you think that's gonna happen

49:16

because you glued your

49:17

feet? I Then

49:23

people started I guess they were heckling

49:25

and shit and then people that were streaming get them out

49:28

and I Can

49:30

we check people for glue? I mean I

49:32

can't even go into

49:35

Tay-Tay You

49:37

have to have a clear bag and

49:39

I mean, I guess you could

49:40

hide glue and lipstick or something

49:44

Or just say nothing coming in anymore

49:46

to a concert just your ID and

49:49

some form of

49:50

Payment

49:51

try to card something everything

49:53

else has to be left

50:00

Things that have to go with you in a concert

50:02

why you're not performing

50:07

Your earrings should already be in your ears

50:10

you should be ready lipstick Here's

50:15

another one If I was

50:17

the Italians, I would

50:19

have thrown this person in jail in me

50:22

for a while I mean a couple months

50:24

not like major while an

50:27

imbecile tourists damaged the

50:29

famous mountains

50:29

of

50:31

Neptune in Florence this

50:32

weekend

50:34

when he climbed to the top of it to take

50:36

a selfie and broke off a piece of marble from

50:38

the 16th century site

50:40

No Security

50:42

footage caught the 22 year old German trying to

50:44

scale the iconic monuments chariot

50:48

To pose for a picture and breaking the piece of the marble

50:51

There's no desiccated justification for against

50:53

vandalism of cultural

50:54

heritage the mayor said

50:56

He also damaged the horses hoof on

50:58

his way back then He

51:00

caused about fifty four hundred dollars in damage to the fountain

51:02

and faces a hefty fine. I find that enough Get

51:06

off the historical things

51:10

It would never occur to me even

51:12

drunk It's

51:14

the selfie. Yeah, it's the selfies driving

51:17

all this

51:19

The

51:20

fountain of Neptune which was restored in 2018 has

51:23

been standing in the Piazza del Signoria

51:25

since 1574 and you're gonna climb it

51:36

And then it talks about the other the

51:39

graffiti attack At

51:42

the at the Coliseum

51:44

those idiots put their name on it Yeah,

51:47

like Ivan loves somebody

51:49

one you're we have cameras I I

51:52

would

51:52

I would make it because this stuff is

51:54

just historical. I would make it like I don't

51:56

know

51:58

$25,000 fine

51:59

Something crazy. Yeah. So

52:02

that they would think

52:03

twice and there'd be signs all around

52:05

there saying that in multiple

52:07

languages. That's not what we do. That's

52:09

not what we do. Here's

52:12

the third one. I know.

52:13

I know. No. But

52:16

this has just gotten ridiculous. It's respect. It's

52:18

respect. It's respect. It's

52:21

respect.

52:21

Shocking moment, a tourist jumps

52:24

into Elvis Presley's swimming pool at Graceland

52:26

before being kicked out and his

52:27

wife hits back at horrified fans.

52:30

That's what the pool is meant for. You

52:33

know what, lady?

52:34

It is meant for

52:35

diving into it if you're

52:38

Elvis's family. Or Elvis.

52:41

Well, he's dead. But it's not your

52:43

pool to jump in.

52:46

He might not be dead. He could be that preacher in Tennessee.

52:48

People post videos on TikTok of Bob Jones or

52:50

something. It's his

52:51

name. But here's the thing that doesn't match up about

52:53

that guy.

52:54

He does look like he could be him. And

52:56

he sounds exactly like him. But he's not old

52:58

enough.

53:00

Elvis would be like 81 if he lived. Yes,

53:03

I do know. Yes, I know. Google

53:06

it. How old would Elvis be if

53:08

he was alive? This dude in this video is not 81. Maybe 71.

53:14

I think, I don't know why I keep thinking 81. Huh.

53:18

This is the most Google thing.

53:20

Is it the most Google thing? Yeah. I'm

53:22

posting a last and how old?

53:26

Yeah. Okay. Well, that guy

53:29

definitely is an 88. This is a shocking

53:31

moment when a British tourist jumped into the pool at Elvis

53:33

Presley. So I've been there a million times with Grace Lynn.

53:36

It's not expensive to go. It's a really fun afternoon.

53:38

You have a friend there now. And I have

53:40

my friend. Yeah. Yeah,

53:42

Dee Dee. Yeah, Dee Dee will... Dee Dee

53:45

is great.

53:46

But she guides some of the tours

53:48

and stuff. She has

53:50

the keys. Yeah, I won't say her last name.

53:53

But I go, oh my God, she stuck the key

53:55

in the door. I'm like,

53:56

are those the real fucking keys, dude? Elvis is out.

53:59

She's like, well, somebody's out. got to open up and

54:01

I'm like well that is true I never thought about that

54:03

somebody's going home and then

54:06

whatever was me in my job every night I just

54:08

go home and go shit shit shit shit

54:12

I don't think I locked it no I was gonna lock it

54:15

and then I saw the cat and then I got distracted

54:17

and whatever

54:21

so when you go through Graceland

54:23

you know you go through the house first and then you

54:26

go in the backyard and around the pool

54:29

is the graves of Elvis his

54:32

mom and dad which by the way

54:34

then Lewis noticed

54:34

the Jewish star

54:36

on his mom's and Lewis

54:38

became all of a sudden Lou

54:41

who would have called Elvis a total redneck

54:44

now he has a golden past because

54:46

he's partially Jewish yeah a lot

54:48

of people don't know that I did not know that so I saw that on the thing

54:52

anyway the the pool is

54:55

surrounded by what should be

54:58

you know reverence like it's it's

55:00

people's graves Lisa Marie's there now

55:02

her son it's

55:03

like an eternal flame type

55:05

garden of resting peace and the pool

55:08

is right there it's an old old type

55:10

pool it's got a old timey

55:12

diving board I

55:15

have thought going

55:17

through there I wonder if anybody's

55:19

jumped in I have thought about that

55:21

because

55:22

you could because you

55:25

just have to walk over something I

55:27

could walk over even a short person could it's

55:29

probably

55:30

two foot high like no big deal

55:32

because nobody has ever been an asshole no

55:35

one's ever done it not to not

55:37

that I googled it I can't find it

55:39

video revealed

55:41

how Tommy Purcell stepped over a low gate

55:43

with a sign reading

55:44

restricted area do not ever strode

55:46

over to the pool already shirtless

55:48

he then placed one foot shake Lee on

55:50

the diving board prompting

55:51

a female security guard to run towards him

55:53

before she could reach him he leapt into the pool with his

55:55

shorts and sneakers on he had no shirt

55:58

you can see her running in the background

57:31

while

58:00

she insisted it wasn't disrespectful. Elvis

58:02

caught someone jumping in his pool once and never stopped

58:05

them. He never got them arrested and told them to

58:07

stay in a pool.

58:08

It was one of the neighbor kids. They tell you

58:10

the story when you go. Yeah,

58:12

we did get escorted out because they don't want anyone

58:15

else to get the idea to jump into it and we weren't

58:17

banned. So yeah, how is this disrespectful?

58:20

By the way, we love Ellis. Oh, and

58:23

she ended the video by blaming the commenter

58:26

for just being jealous. It's

58:30

amazing.

58:31

What do you see her picture though? We'll put it in the show notes.

58:33

I mean, she looks like somebody who would do this.

58:38

Tickets for tours are just under 80 bucks

58:41

and they're awesome tours.

58:42

You can also get VIP tickets starting at 135.

58:45

They also went to the car museum.

58:50

They're from England,

58:53

but they tied the knot in May

58:56

and they live in New Jersey now.

58:59

They visited across the Midwest and South, visiting

59:01

landmarks like the Home Alone House and

59:04

posing with cowboy hats in Nashville.

59:06

So they're also morons.

59:09

Anyway, I

59:11

think security needs to step it up in all these

59:13

places. A big, the selfies

59:16

and the TikTok, we gotta

59:19

beef up security.

59:22

I don't know what you would do at the pool. There already

59:24

was a security guard. Stand by the diving board?

59:27

Now it's stuck in the summer. You'd be so hot though.

59:30

Electric fence.

59:32

Around the pool? Yes.

59:35

An electric fence? No, I'm into it, but it's

59:38

ugly.

59:39

It's so pretty back there. And you're supposed to be quiet.

59:42

It's a graveyard for God's

59:44

sake. Like.

59:47

I believe in the death penalty.

59:50

I know you believe in the death penalty.

59:51

Janet Airlines.

59:54

Let's talk about Janet Airlines. Here's

59:57

an airline you'll never likely fly on no matter how much money you get.

59:59

You have

1:00:01

Janet airlines Boeing 737 planes

1:00:04

travel to one of the most mysterious and talked about

1:00:06

places on the face of the earth Area 51

1:00:09

deep in the Nevada desert.

1:00:11

Yeah. Yep there

1:00:13

the United States government develops its most secretive

1:00:16

Military technology now, here's

1:00:18

what's weird. I've never even seen as much

1:00:21

as I fly. I'm it's a white plane with

1:00:23

a red stripe down it I

1:00:26

Think so Yeah,

1:00:29

they fly in and out of Harry Reid Airport It's

1:00:33

only 87 miles away It's

1:00:36

very red stripe the ultra secret base

1:00:38

is also rumored to host the crash extraterrestrial

1:00:41

spacecraft and even aliens themselves

1:00:45

But the Janet jets that take

1:00:46

workers and government officials there are altogether

1:00:48

more nondescript by the passenger airliners Not

1:00:51

believed to contain any particularly exciting

1:00:53

features And Janet

1:00:56

whose letters are rumored to stand

1:00:58

for joint air network

1:01:00

for employee transportation or

1:01:04

Just another

1:01:05

non-existent terminal Wow

1:01:08

its pilots also fly seven

1:01:10

smaller beachcraft prop planes

1:01:13

to area 51 So

1:01:15

if you ever see one You'll

1:01:18

know it's it's white with one red

1:01:20

stripe. It has no writing on

1:01:22

it

1:01:25

I Reports indicate that the airline may not

1:01:27

actually be officially named at all Janet is

1:01:29

just the call sign in the Jets when they are in civilian

1:01:32

airspace Area 51

1:01:35

has six runways

1:01:37

Six including

1:01:39

a monster 12,000 foot long strip that

1:01:42

is among the world's longest

1:01:45

Maybe it's for them. Yeah, maybe

1:01:48

it's not for us So now you

1:01:50

know Janet Airlines, maybe they'll

1:01:52

have a sale for normal people They

1:01:55

feel like a Christmas sale. They're hiring

1:01:57

Yeah, who's who's working

1:01:59

for him?

1:01:59

Here's my nightmare. Three

1:02:02

year cruise that never ends. Ah,

1:02:05

ah. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Like,

1:02:10

I mean, the minute you put me on it, I would

1:02:12

start crying. And then I would cry for

1:02:14

three years. I am not a cruiser.

1:02:18

Those of you who know me, or have listened to my act, or

1:02:21

just listen to this podcast, you, we've already

1:02:23

established that.

1:02:25

If the idea of spending three years on a cruise ship makes

1:02:27

you claustrophobic, it's time to look away now.

1:02:29

Life at sea cruises, which is due to

1:02:31

depart November for a three year round

1:02:33

the world cruise, records of people are

1:02:36

so enthused by the idea of sailing around the world

1:02:38

now that they're going to continue the journey

1:02:40

indefinitely, making it the cruise that never

1:02:42

ends. Oh. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,

1:02:45

ah.

1:02:45

The idea came about after the firm

1:02:48

fielded inquiries from potential customers

1:02:51

who were thrilled by the idea of the cruise,

1:02:53

but couldn't make the start date.

1:02:55

Individuals will have to sign up for three

1:02:57

years, but now they can start at any

1:03:00

point in the itinerary making it a rolling

1:03:02

three

1:03:02

year cruise rather than a set one.

1:03:05

I get it. So when you jump

1:03:07

on

1:03:07

it to start a year or three years. Right. That's

1:03:11

horrible. I can't. I

1:03:14

can't even do three days.

1:03:16

I don't even like three hours.

1:03:17

Because once I'm, as long as that gangplank's still

1:03:19

out, I'm OK. Because I know I can run away. Once

1:03:23

they pull that up,

1:03:27

to appeal to customers who want to stay on the

1:03:29

itinerary will continue to new destinations

1:03:31

rather than returning to previous ones. The cruise

1:03:33

will then continue indefinitely,

1:03:35

says home. It becomes the cruise that

1:03:37

never ends. That sounds like

1:03:39

a horror movie. They'll have seven

1:03:41

potential start locations in the first year of the cruise,

1:03:44

which departs Istanbul November 1. Lewis

1:03:47

would love this. Wait till I tell him about it.

1:03:50

Hey.

1:03:52

Hey, Lou. You said you were looking for something

1:03:54

to do if you don't want to do the road so much.

1:03:57

Why don't you be a comic on the cruise that never

1:03:59

ends?

1:03:59

Ahhhhhh! That'd be even

1:04:02

worse! Um... Oh

1:04:05

my God.

1:04:08

People who can't make the Istanbul departure have

1:04:10

the chance to join in Barcelona on

1:04:12

November 6th, the Bahamas a week later, and Rio

1:04:14

de Janeiro on December 20th. Just for

1:04:16

time for Christmas on board! Oh

1:04:19

my God. You can't leave the ship, ever?

1:04:22

You can get on and on. Yeah, but you gotta

1:04:24

pay for what you signed up for, it seems like. Yeah. So like what if you want

1:04:27

to take a bus off? It's a 1400 seater. We

1:04:31

want ourselves to full capacity, we don't want

1:04:33

residents to have an experience. Trying to keep it

1:04:35

at 85%. Occupancy is

1:04:37

currently over 50% for November morning. That's

1:04:39

ridiculous. Oh my God.

1:04:43

How much is it? It doesn't say. I'll look it up. Okay.

1:04:46

You look it up. This

1:04:47

is where we need an assistant. I'm

1:04:50

right

1:04:50

here!

1:04:51

Well no, Paddles, you do a wonderful job, but you're doing

1:04:53

other things too. We need one of

1:04:55

the children! I'm checking my fantasy list. Yeah,

1:04:58

I

1:04:58

know, I can tell when you're doing other things, bad

1:05:00

things. Um.

1:05:02

Okay.

1:05:06

So there's a warlord, a cocaine...

1:05:09

The end is at 30,000 a year. 30,000 a

1:05:11

year? Yep.

1:05:13

Really? Yep.

1:05:15

Well that's cheap. Yep. 2,500 a

1:05:17

month.

1:05:19

20... That can't be right. Yep.

1:05:24

Is that a room below deck with no view? That's what

1:05:26

it begins at. So probably...

1:05:29

30 grand for the year? Yep. Hmm. Yep.

1:05:33

That's awfully cheap. I could see why people might go. Payment

1:05:35

options at 24,000 a month. Huh.

1:05:38

This is

1:05:40

what I proposed. I

1:05:43

would not like to think that

1:05:45

there's a cocaine warlord listening to Madigan's Puffcast. But there

1:05:47

might be. Yep.

1:05:48

Is the Amazon

1:05:51

rainforest set to be saved by a cocaine warlord? What

1:05:54

did I say? Hold the rainforest hostage. Yep. Tell

1:05:57

the world. You want to keep it? Somebody

1:05:59

send me a billion... dollars right now no matter fact

1:06:01

I want 20 billion and if you don't I'm

1:06:03

gonna take this can of gas and these little matches

1:06:06

I got from a restaurant and I'm gonna set the whole

1:06:08

goddamn thing on fire there

1:06:10

you go same way to save all the African animals

1:06:13

we don't need those hunter some dentist

1:06:16

over there killing a weird giraffe no

1:06:19

well

1:06:20

a cocaine warlord is helping saving the Amazon rainforest

1:06:22

in Colombia after his threats to farmers saw a

1:06:25

deforestation rates fall by 76% a

1:06:27

year he cut

1:06:30

deforestation 76% Ivan

1:06:35

Mordisco the leader of the estado

1:06:38

narrow

1:06:39

central

1:06:40

has implemented strict sanctions to stop

1:06:42

land grabbing farmers from slashing trees

1:06:45

as the country's third largest illegally

1:06:47

armed group the EMC is known for drug

1:06:49

trafficking illegal gold mining

1:06:51

and extortion yeah

1:06:54

then they have a picture and go here's my new if you're a

1:06:56

rainforest

1:06:56

lover you're like here's my new hero he's

1:06:58

known for track drug trafficking

1:06:59

illegal what and it's urgent

1:07:02

the sanction occupies the country's most environmentally

1:07:04

sensitive territory with significant military

1:07:07

power with a support network more than 3,000 including 2,200

1:07:10

armed fighters said to be struck said to strong

1:07:13

arm anyone who should attempt to evade

1:07:15

the rules of the armed factions

1:07:18

this is great and even the president

1:07:20

can't do

1:07:20

nothing about it he's kind of got to support him yes

1:07:23

I mean all you're gonna die

1:07:27

in regions where he holds the power

1:07:30

illegal logging has declined

1:07:33

at the most substantially rates of 50% 34 and 37

1:07:37

respectively

1:07:43

it took a cocaine warlord

1:07:45

yeah his motivation

1:07:48

I

1:07:48

don't care what it is it

1:07:51

could be linked to an interesting

1:07:52

to an interest in maintaining a thick jungle canopy

1:07:55

for his troops to move more freely about

1:07:57

well who cares as long as his

1:07:59

beak not, the trees protect us and

1:08:01

we need water for our military operations. Exactly.

1:08:05

Yeah. It's great. Yeah.

1:08:08

Let them save it. That's awesome.

1:08:10

Yeah. Um,

1:08:12

well, we're gonna, I've got two more, then

1:08:14

we're gonna do lyrics.

1:08:17

We're gonna save these for next week. Excuse

1:08:20

me, Bigfoot. Um,

1:08:23

this is gonna be in my section, my new section

1:08:25

that I'm calling What the Fuck.

1:08:27

Cause there's, there's

1:08:31

some things,

1:08:32

and I've looked this up on, it's on a lot

1:08:34

of sites. It's not bullshit.

1:08:36

A family that walks on all fours

1:08:39

baffles scientists.

1:08:41

Quote, they shouldn't exist. You

1:08:43

probably won't be able to walk a mile in this family's

1:08:45

shoes.

1:08:46

I can't believe they opened with

1:08:48

a joke. A bad joke. Bad joke. Like,

1:08:51

come on. Some members of

1:08:53

the family in Turkey walking

1:08:55

away that has baffled scientists and challenges the

1:08:58

world's understanding of human evolution. They

1:09:00

walk on all fours using the

1:09:02

palms of their hands in a bear crawl.

1:09:05

The Ulyss family was first

1:09:07

brought into the public sphere through a scientific paper,

1:09:10

which was followed by a 2006 documentary.

1:09:13

Oh, I gotta watch this

1:09:15

on the BBC called the family that walks

1:09:17

on all fours. Professor

1:09:19

Nicholas hump. What?

1:09:23

Yeah, nobody got creative with the title. No. Save

1:09:26

me

1:09:26

a donut.

1:09:29

I'm on the way.

1:09:31

I mean,

1:09:35

you could have been more creative.

1:09:38

This show is called the family that walks on

1:09:40

all fours.

1:09:42

Professor Nicholas

1:09:45

Humphrey, an evolutionary psychologist from

1:09:47

the London School of Economics, found that

1:09:49

out of the 18 kids in this family, six

1:09:52

of them were born with this trait,

1:09:53

never seen before in modern human adults.

1:09:56

Unfortunately,

1:09:57

one of the six has died.

1:09:59

First of all, all

1:10:03

I see when I see these people,

1:10:05

I see a bottle of Advil, because my back

1:10:07

would hurt so bad. I

1:10:09

don't know how you can... And they're not young.

1:10:12

I mean, they're old. I

1:10:14

never expected that even under the most extraordinary

1:10:17

scientific fantasy, that modern human

1:10:19

beings could return to animal state,

1:10:22

he said on the 60 Minutes Australia.

1:10:24

The thing which marks us off from the rest of the animal

1:10:27

world is the fact that we're the species which

1:10:29

walks on two legs and holds

1:10:31

our head high in the air. Well,

1:10:33

you know what else separates us? Accessories.

1:10:37

You don't see chimps making earrings. Nobody's

1:10:39

got necklaces on. None of the cats

1:10:41

care to have a cape. Of

1:10:46

course, it's language and all other sorts of things too, but

1:10:48

it's terribly important to sense ourselves, to

1:10:50

our sense of self, as being different from other animals.

1:10:53

I don't really care about that.

1:10:55

These people cross that boundary.

1:10:58

They were described in the documentary as the missing

1:11:00

link between man and ape, and a Turkish

1:11:02

study suggested that de-evolution

1:11:06

might have occurred, reversing three

1:11:09

million years of evolution.

1:11:13

The documentary also

1:11:16

maintains that the family's

1:11:18

untold significance

1:11:21

for every one of us and claim they shouldn't exist.

1:11:25

Researchers at Liverpool University found that the children at the

1:11:27

center of the study had skeletons that more resemble

1:11:30

apes than humans,

1:11:31

and had a shrunken cerebellum, a condition that

1:11:33

doesn't usually affect

1:11:35

other humans' ability to walk

1:11:37

on their two legs.

1:11:38

However, white apes use their knuckles to get around. These

1:11:40

humans use the palm of their hands, marking a significant

1:11:42

difference. I think it's possible

1:11:45

that we are seeing in this family as something that does

1:11:47

correspond to a time when we didn't walk like chimps.

1:11:50

I think that's a very important step

1:11:52

between coming down from the trees and

1:11:54

being fully bipedal. He

1:11:56

also noted that

1:11:58

the children were not necessarily inculcated. to

1:12:00

stand

1:12:01

after nine months old. Their

1:12:04

development could have therefore been affected.

1:12:07

Well, yeah, I mean, if you see your mom and dad walking like

1:12:09

that, I

1:12:10

gotta go watch this documentary. How

1:12:13

do their backs not hurt?

1:12:16

Here's one, they're frolicking by the ocean.

1:12:20

Yeah, they're having a great time. Do

1:12:22

they swim? I don't know if they swim.

1:12:26

Here's something interesting. Here's

1:12:28

something. This is interesting.

1:12:32

So, because all of my younger

1:12:34

siblings that have younger kids, meaning, you know,

1:12:38

eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve,

1:12:39

thirteen, fourteen, we'll call it that

1:12:41

range. When should you get

1:12:43

them a phone?

1:12:45

That's the big, and then

1:12:47

it's getting younger, and then it depends

1:12:49

on how much one begs, how

1:12:51

much is one a pain in my ass versus

1:12:54

one... You're gonna

1:12:57

make me become a

1:12:58

school shooter if

1:13:00

you don't get me

1:13:01

a phone.

1:13:05

Well, well,

1:13:08

a town in Ireland, the

1:13:11

parents all got together and

1:13:13

agreed we're not getting them phones.

1:13:15

Really? All the parents. So

1:13:18

therefore the kids can't go, well, Cindy has

1:13:20

one and Mark has one, and how am I supposed to get

1:13:22

invited to anything that I never found? It'd

1:13:24

be more than a

1:13:26

million.

1:13:27

Starting recent figures

1:13:29

from Communications Regular of

1:13:31

Com shows that 20% of kids have a

1:13:33

smart phone by age three? What?

1:13:36

No, I'm talking about, I don't know, at least

1:13:38

in our family, it's like ten,

1:13:41

twelve. When? Is it ten? No,

1:13:43

but I think most people have said twelve

1:13:45

around us, but by the age

1:13:49

of three, and that rises to 55% between

1:13:50

the ages of eight and eleven.

1:13:55

You're gonna be a horrible parent if I go missing someday and I

1:13:57

didn't have a phone to contact the police and tell them where

1:13:59

I am. I was.

1:14:02

My mom and dad will go, none of you had a goddamn

1:14:05

phone. We didn't have any idea where you were for 21 years. Everybody's

1:14:08

fine. Nobody went missing. Exactly, dad. I

1:14:11

hope for that. But

1:14:13

the residents of one seaside town in Ireland have

1:14:15

decided they do not want their

1:14:16

little ones to send their most formative years peering

1:14:18

into a tiny LCD screen.

1:14:20

The entire parent population of Greystones

1:14:23

and County Wicklow got together to agree to buy,

1:14:26

not to buy smartphones for their kids until they were

1:14:28

in secondary school. All eight primary

1:14:30

schools in the town, 15 miles south of

1:14:32

Dublin, had already stopped pupils from bringing the electronic

1:14:34

devices into the learning environment. Yeah

1:14:38

I don't know what the rules are at the Catholic school. I think you

1:14:40

can have your phone but I don't think you're allowed to have it in class.

1:14:43

I don't

1:14:43

know. I don't know. I gotta ask. I'll

1:14:45

ask the kids. We'll

1:14:47

report that. Yeah. But the school

1:14:49

parent associations went further by initiating a voluntary

1:14:51

ban among themselves.

1:14:52

It was a revolutionary approach that would likely become

1:14:55

welcomed by parents in Britain as well. By

1:14:58

Vodafone, that's their phone company over there.

1:15:01

This week revealed that when choosing to give a child

1:15:03

their first mobile phone was tough for some parents

1:15:05

as selecting the right school to send their children

1:15:07

to. I

1:15:10

don't know what your choices of schools were

1:15:12

but...

1:15:17

The locals were grateful for a chance to free

1:15:19

youngsters

1:15:20

from the pressure to permanently

1:15:21

connect to social media.

1:15:24

It gives me another three years for my daughter not to have a smartphone.

1:15:27

I suppose the majority of people would feel the

1:15:29

pressure to buy a cell phone because their peers

1:15:31

have it.

1:15:32

Yes, exactly. More than 70% of

1:15:35

the parents

1:15:36

in one daughter's class agreed not to buy

1:15:38

the smartphones. Once

1:15:40

the children reach secondary school, only 5% say

1:15:42

they're willing to hold out against the tide.

1:15:45

So

1:15:47

sixth grade over there is 11 to 12, basically

1:15:50

the same here. So they're holding out until then. That's

1:15:52

great. Yeah, that's great.

1:15:54

Yeah. And

1:15:55

especially the TikTok and

1:15:58

I think sometimes there's... It's too much for my brain.

1:16:01

And I'm an adult. I can't imagine.

1:16:04

And then the ones that get bullied on there, I can't

1:16:06

even imagine. Yeah. They

1:16:09

had two recent... Oh, they had the town had two recent...

1:16:12

The area had two recent suicides as a result

1:16:14

of bullies.

1:16:16

Two girls committed suicide over bullying. It's

1:16:19

terrifying because if something happens between the social ward

1:16:21

and your kids, something you really have no part of because you didn't see

1:16:23

it.

1:16:24

It's something that really scares you. So

1:16:26

it's

1:16:26

going great for them. They love it. France

1:16:29

banned phones in the classrooms in 2018.

1:16:32

Italy did so last year. Why Holland and Finland

1:16:35

brought in restrictions this year. Yeah.

1:16:39

It can be good. It can be...

1:16:41

No, it worked great. So congratulations to that

1:16:43

little town. Yeah.

1:16:45

Yeah. Can you see America doing that?

1:16:46

I can't see Americans at

1:16:49

a town meeting agreeing to anything.

1:16:52

Oh. Any topic. It

1:16:54

could be something that seems so, so bland.

1:16:56

Yeah. But

1:16:59

now, and there'd still be some guy going, I don't really

1:17:01

think that...

1:17:02

That's

1:17:04

my right. No, it's going to

1:17:05

tell me what to do. Okay. Okay.

1:17:09

It's time for our lyrics send off. Oh,

1:17:11

no. These are the lyrics that the children

1:17:13

these days are loving and listening

1:17:16

to. By children you mean me?

1:17:18

By children I mean you, battle. Yeah.

1:17:23

This is Taylor, the

1:17:25

lyrics to Anti-Hero. Love it.

1:17:28

Oh my God.

1:17:30

So good. I have this thing where I get older but never

1:17:32

wiser. Midnights become my afternoons.

1:17:34

When my depression works at graveyard shift, all

1:17:36

of the people I ghosted standing there in the room,

1:17:39

I should not be left my own devices.

1:17:41

They come with prices and vices. I

1:17:44

end up in crisis at Taylor's oldest time. I

1:17:46

wake up screaming from dreaming. One day I'll

1:17:48

watch you as you're leaving because you got tired of my

1:17:50

scheming. Hi, it's me.

1:17:53

I am the problem. It's me. At

1:17:55

tea time everybody agrees. I'll stare

1:17:57

directly at the sun but never in the mirror.

1:17:59

It must be exhausting, always rooting

1:18:02

for the anti-hero. Then

1:18:04

this, well this next one really,

1:18:07

sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy

1:18:09

baby and I'm a monster on the hill. Too

1:18:12

big to hang out slowly lurching

1:18:14

towards your favorite city,

1:18:16

pierced through the heart but never killed.

1:18:18

You

1:18:18

can't kill the baby.

1:18:20

Now here's the lyrics I was listening to. I'm

1:18:22

sorry you didn't sing that. Oh I know

1:18:24

how the chorus goes, Hi, it's

1:18:27

me, hi,

1:18:28

I'm the problem, it's me, it's me.

1:18:32

Here's the lyrics I sang along to. You're

1:18:34

living in your own private Idaho.

1:18:38

Be 52, like

1:18:40

an underground, underground like a

1:18:42

wild potato. Don't go on the

1:18:44

patio, beware of the pool.

1:18:46

Blue bottomless pool, it leads

1:18:48

you straight through the gate

1:18:49

that opens the pool.

1:18:51

What does any of

1:18:53

that mean? Keep off

1:18:55

the pair, beware of the gate. Watch for

1:18:58

the signs that say hidden driveways, your

1:19:00

own private Idaho. And then it's, oh,

1:19:02

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

1:19:04

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. You

1:19:06

fell into the water and went down to Idaho.

1:19:09

Get out of the state, get out of the state you're

1:19:11

in. You better beware.

1:19:15

Taylor's

1:19:17

make a lot more sense. Yeah,

1:19:20

my own private Idaho driving around

1:19:22

in my car. Like I don't even know what I'm saying. Nobody

1:19:26

cared, nobody cared. But

1:19:28

I can see why the people feel more connection

1:19:31

to Tete than I do to the B-52s because

1:19:33

I didn't even know why the hell I was thinking about Idaho. I'd

1:19:36

never even been to Idaho. Didn't know

1:19:38

a damn thing about Idaho.

1:19:40

And he tells me I'm living in my own private

1:19:42

Idaho. Well how can that be when I know nothing

1:19:44

about it? All

1:19:47

right, termites. So

1:19:49

we will see you soon out on the road. Big thanks to John

1:19:51

Novosad. You should look him up. He's so

1:19:53

funny. He's a Denver

1:19:55

comic and he came with me for Boise

1:19:57

and Reno. And then this week.

1:20:00

I have my friend Bill Crawford from Pittsburgh. He's

1:20:02

very fun. Super fun. He's also on the

1:20:04

radio in Pittsburgh

1:20:05

If you're a radio person in

1:20:07

the morning, he's a part of our morning show

1:20:10

Here's where I'm going

1:20:28

excited about Pittsburgh because

1:20:30

of the Andy Warhol Museum.

1:20:32

Pittsburgh's got some of the greatest museums. No,

1:20:34

Pittsburgh needs Bill

1:20:36

Crawford to do an ad

1:20:38

for them to come to Pittsburgh. Like they're

1:20:41

Pittsburgh is great for a weekend

1:20:43

Pick us if you like football go to a Steelers

1:20:45

game or baseball the park is awesome

1:20:48

1:20:50

they have all these awesome I'm not usually

1:20:53

a

1:20:53

museum hunter on the road, but I like

1:20:55

art. So Andy Warhol I was like, oh, yeah,

1:20:58

and it's been there forever and they had a big fight

1:21:00

over that as brother and

1:21:02

the foundation Where should it go? Well,

1:21:03

he's from Pittsburgh, you know Let

1:21:06

Pittsburgh have it and then put other let's send

1:21:08

1:21:11

they change it up all the time too. So it's never boring.

1:21:13

There's Pittsburgh. It's just the downtown is great

1:21:16

1:21:21

It's just you never get bored in Pittsburgh

1:21:24

Anyway,

1:21:25

I don't know why I felt the need to say that but Fort

1:21:27

Worth. I'm excited about Houston. I love I love I love st.

1:21:29

Louis Denver

1:21:31

the villages Eugene

1:21:33

Portland and

1:21:39

Yeah,

1:21:39

cuz you know, it's kind of rainy cold up

1:21:41

there up there around there then and

1:21:44

I like it cuz it's spooky

1:21:48

Well, I'm gonna throw out

1:21:50

the first pitch at the Cubs game so

1:21:52

I've been practicing in the backyard I'm

1:21:55

super I think amusing

1:21:57

my ten-year-old neighbors where they

1:21:59

like Oh wow, the lady who's never home

1:22:02

is outside playing

1:22:04

catch.

1:22:04

Like, why is that old lady doing?

1:22:08

Do you feel comfortable making it over the mound?

1:22:12

Can I make it over the mound? Yes. Yes. Are

1:22:15

you being over the plate? Over the plate.

1:22:17

Yes, but I cannot guarantee

1:22:20

that it won't hit somebody on the left or the right. You're

1:22:23

going to the mound by the way.

1:22:25

Well, I'm going to go to the mound, but I'm going to

1:22:27

ask the catcher to walk a little bit towards me like George Bush did. Well,

1:22:30

if he could do it, I can do it. That's a long

1:22:32

way. 60 feet is a long way

1:22:34

to throw a ball accurately. I

1:22:37

don't know. In St.

1:22:39

Louis, I did it,

1:22:41

and it

1:22:42

was terrifying. As

1:22:45

soon as they put my name up to the thing, I thought,

1:22:47

what the fuck did I agree to? This

1:22:50

is the dumbest thing I've ever done, because

1:22:52

it's not my thing. I

1:22:54

played softball as a little kid, but

1:22:57

then you age out of that or whatever. I

1:22:59

played hot box with my brothers, but

1:23:02

when you get out to the mound, it looks so

1:23:04

much further. And then it's before the game, so there's

1:23:06

all these press people, and St. Louis Fredbird

1:23:08

was down there. And I was like, you might want

1:23:10

to tell some of those people to move.

1:23:13

I'm not being fake humble.

1:23:15

I really don't know where this is going. And

1:23:18

I don't want to injure somebody who's out here to have a good

1:23:20

time, and then you're like, a bar. There's

1:23:23

a ball in your temple. I mean, I wasn't planning

1:23:25

on

1:23:25

throwing it hard,

1:23:27

but under any circumstances, you don't

1:23:29

want to get hit with a baseball on the face.

1:23:31

And then they were like, oh, yeah, sure, we'll move. And

1:23:34

no one moved. I'm like, I'm not fake

1:23:36

kidding. Oh, anyway,

1:23:39

I got it. I got it there. I'll give the

1:23:41

term ice and up-bait, Mickey. And it made

1:23:43

it over the plate because

1:23:46

my friend Scott at the time

1:23:48

was, I don't really think that was a strike, Kathleen. I go,

1:23:50

it was if the batter had been a little person.

1:23:53

If it was my friend Brad Williams, you

1:23:56

bet your ass it was a strike. And dirt

1:23:58

did not fly up till it went over that plate. plate.

1:24:00

Yeah, no, I'm actually quite nervous

1:24:02

about it. I mean,

1:24:04

it's fun. But yeah, I

1:24:06

need

1:24:08

to go play some more catch and I

1:24:10

got a week to do it.

1:24:14

I'm going to take my

1:24:16

baseball glove

1:24:17

and make Bill play the game.

1:24:22

Yeah, I mean, I didn't even know if my arm would still

1:24:24

work. Like you've reached the age where you're like, what was the

1:24:26

last time I threw something? For

1:24:29

real. That's why

1:24:31

I had to ask John, my friend, the comedian.

1:24:33

I'm like, John, weird question.

1:24:35

But I'm looking at the app and the time we're landing,

1:24:37

we're going to miss the flight and I go,

1:24:39

can you still run? But these are the questions

1:24:41

I have to ask people my age now. Have you done

1:24:43

that in a decade? Like actually physically

1:24:46

ran anywhere. I don't mean walk

1:24:48

on the treadmill. I don't mean elliptical.

1:24:52

I mean, run over there.

1:24:54

Yeah, he's so

1:24:56

casual. I don't

1:24:58

know, man, but yeah, let's give it a try.

1:25:00

Yeah, I'm

1:25:02

hacking up lungs. His

1:25:05

pants were falling down. He has kept stuff.

1:25:08

Yeah, he did really good running, but his pants were

1:25:11

not

1:25:11

secure enough for that kind of run anyway.
