Welcome, Dennis Gubbins.

Papers.
And like, you know what? This is true to you. You're not the best at first impressions. And you agree with that, right?
Not always. Sometimes I can be really great with first impressions. Sometimes like the third or fourth is best. But I always tell people I'm better in person, not great photography like pictures better in person and um i don't know i think sometimes second impression could be worse than
my first sometimes i could come in nice and then they see me in a spot where i'm a little cranky
some we'll talk about our history a little bit some of my friends who are now uh one is easily
way closer to you but i knew him from new y York, Britt. And the first time you met him,
I brought him to play director of paint, writer and director of paint. Yeah, the movie.
And I brought him down to paddle tennis and you whacked him right in the balls with a ball. Do
you remember that first meeting ever? Yes. I think the first one was an accident part of the game. Second one was kind of like,
holy cow. And then the third one, I went at him. I hit him three times.
Yeah. Three times. And now I love the man and he puts up with me.
And then Rabih, I introduced you to.
Rabih's funny.
up with me and then ruby i introduced you to and i thought i thought that went okay and then the second time that we were playing tennis and the second time i showed up a little late
and when i got there both of you were so baked already so you were off and running in that
relationship together we brings people together faster than most things you know once we both
figured out like oh you like to smoke a little pot? So do I.
Let's meet before the game.
Okay, cool.
Why don't you pick me up?
I got a joint for us.
Boom.
Next thing you know, we're good friends.
Boom.
We met in 1999.
Fitzsimmons and I were doing a pilot for VH1
starring a very unfamous Zach Galifianakis.
And I don't think we met you till the wrap party.
Yeah, he took me as his plus one to the wrap party, which I think was like in Santa Monica, just on like Pico and some weird place.
Yeah, I mean, a plus one is a very formal way of saying it.
It was some meetup in a bar.
Yeah, it really was.
It really was.
So I met you.
We hit it off, met Fitzy.
Not so much, but over the years, we've come a little bit closer.
But it's hard to tell when you listen to this podcast.
Is that your high maintenance Arnold Palmer you're drinking?
You better believe it. Watered down from Trader Joe's. You got it.
It's never right. And sometimes I'll be like, all right, I'm getting Starbucks. You want anything?
You're like, I want it. And there's special requests. And I feel so high maintenance.
Yeah, I'm not a coffee drinker. So when I go to those places, I try to make it as difficult as possible.
Get a mocha, not so much coffee as they normally put in two squirts of chocolate instead of their standard and if anyone's if anyone's still
listening it's a miracle all right so uh welcome to the podcast man glad you're filling thank you
in europe yep and uh we started this podcast a lot faster than when Greg is here, which is the interesting part, like the tech check and all that stuff.
And also he wants to read through the document.
I don't know if he's professional or what's up with that, but we didn't do any of that.
We're just diving in.
We just had lunch.
Yep.
Go ahead.
I said I'm from the School of Improvisational Theater.
Oh, good Lord. That's what I was just going to say. go ahead i said i'm from the school of improvisational theater so oh good lord that's
what i was just gonna say less writing the better for me yeah i go we're having lunch
well we should get out of here i mean don't you want to like look at some of the stories and
you're like i'm an improver i wish it was a prover And there's still time.
All right.
First thing of business.
Holy crap.
This auction closed.
This auction to play golf with Greg Fitzsimmons,
Michael Fitzgibbon,
Michael Gibbons,
Dennis Gubbins,
which is a joke.
And when they yell out,
when they yell out our names
that we're teeing off
it's ridiculous and we love when they get frustrated it is a public rundown nine hole
golf course here in Venice California on Rose and you know I thought we'd have to pay someone to
play uh play with us but the winning bid closed all right i forget what it was last week wasn't it like 600
or 500 i couldn't believe it was that high i yeah i i would have been excited with 500 that would
have been amazing 400 close after we take after we take the cut for the greens fee and the lunch
and everything out of that. Right.
Is that what we're going to do? We're going to take money.
And this is a charity it's for charity. It's for a below the line workers. It's part of the, uh,
the actors and writers strike and a lot of people are being affected.
So anyway, here it is.
$4,275.
Amazing.
Insanity.
Crazy.
I mean, I'm kind of embarrassed in a way.
Yeah.
How is that justified?
If they're not extremely, extremely wealthy,
they're going to only be disappointed spending.
After today's round with Mikey and I getting
into it I mean they're going to be like I could have just thrown the money into a trash can and
lit it on fire it probably would be more enjoyable than watching us act like five-year-olds yeah
Denman is saying the check was signed by a Mrs. Fitzsimmons probably a different one I'm sure
so get this Greg sent me from Europe,
although I asked him all these questions,
didn't get any answers till midday today.
But he sent me Tim,
I don't know if I can say his last name,
but Tim and the subject,
it was an email, close but no cigar.
Greg, I was not able to make off with the top bid,
primarily because my wife was yelling at me,
quote, this is Sunday dinner with the kids. Will you get off your phone? I tried to swoop in at
the end, but got taken out. I would happily buy a round with you lugheads at the winning price
if you want to sell two. Otherwise, enjoy the round with the boring guy.
Holy cow, that gave me chills that's amazing
that's pretty great what a nice person yeah that's how like you were saying before it doesn't make
sense that there's only one winner and all those people were ready to spend or donate we could play
every week we could have someone be our fifth and then you know now i think we're pushing it yeah
every week for two weeks for two weeks and
then let's see what's left yeah exactly uh but yeah that guy wrote a letter it was very cool
um all right top of the show we usually catch up Greg and I on a little stuff uh brother-in-law
George did you talk to him that's what you were in touch with him right I texted I texted with
matini a bit very scary situation
all right we were playing it's so laughable pickleball he ran in and we talked about this before but he dove for a ball because he didn't want his daughters winning swear to god that's
the true context dove and he hit there was a metal box like attached to the fence or whatever that
did not move and george smashed it with his side went to the urgent care urgent cares x-ray technician not there so they're
like but get an x-ray he like had an awful night the first night he's on pain
but anyway didn't do anything week goes by and I think last week I read the
update which was he was went to get an x-ray at urgent care and they're like you have to
go to the emergency room right away they have to operate you have a collapsed lung and is it four
three four broken ribs i'm forgetting what it is anyway he went three nights in cedar sinai
and the to do the operation uh he texted me because I caught up with him this week,
that they told my sister, you're going to want to leave.
You're not, you should leave the room.
You're not going to want to be in here for this because they couldn't put him under.
What?
And so they had to put a tube into his lung to drain it of the liquid that had already built up and then i don't know
what you do do you inflate along i have no idea how this works but he was fully conscious and not
on pain meds while they did it what and he did he said the pain was a 12 out of 10. oh geez george
did he do any gummies before or anything like that?
I don't think you'd want to be on gummies for that experience.
How's your gummy intake today?
That was all right. Pretty good, all right.
And then later we're going to talk about Barbie. You saw Barbie?
I saw Barbie. But we'll save it for later. I saw it my fucking week. I saw it. I saw it.
I'm going to help anyone who hasn't seen it by lowering your expectations.
That's what needed to be done with me.
You didn't have high expectations?
No, not really.
I mean, I was hoping it would be really good because I like the actors.
I thought there was, I mean, are we talking about it now?
Let's just talk about it now.
I guess a little tease.
I was expecting Lego movie level quality.
Oh, see, I didn't think Lego movie was all that good.
I thought Lego movie was laughably bad.
And I watched it in the theater with a friend of mine
who has done animation as his career.
And all of us were kind of like,
woo, this was a brutal movie.
Yeah, Yeah.
With Will, right? Wasn't Will Arnett your buddy in it?
Yeah, he was in it, but no, he wasn't the one I watched it with. Yeah. But yeah, he
did the voice of he's Batman voice. But I liked Barbie. I enjoyed it. I went during
the day with Mikey, just a couple of middle-aged men with no kids going to see Barbie. I enjoyed it. I went during the day with Mikey, just a couple of middle
aged men with no kids going to see Barbie. I ate edibles, of course. And that helped.
That seemed to help a lot because I really liked it.
You really liked Barbie?
I did. It should be seen by all like, not like every person on earth. But like if you
have a daughter or child in that age bracket that's like
getting on inundated i think it was a pretty good story and a pretty good message oh no i yeah the
amount you probably really like the message because a lot of those feminist themes are probably very
new to you that's probably the difference i was eating them up i was like wait what you're like
wait barbie said feminism back a little i guess if you missed that chapter, which is impossible, then the movie was really fantastic.
Yeah.
And enlightening.
Yeah.
Right.
Okay.
The logo this week.
I don't know who made the logo.
It says Blaine Kendall.
I think Blaine Kendall maybe made the logo last week.
But look at us sitting there.
No, I got interactions with someone on Instagram who made the logo, and their handle is NestoDeLaBesto.
I like that handle.
Now, wait, wasn't that the logo with you and Chris Denman?
Yeah, but then he changed it up and he made it with uh you and i
okay if you read it it's got a funny little caption it says uh our pictures reading the
newspaper and then there's on one your newspaper is a picture of fitzy and it says podcast host
goes missing in my mind the big headline says good news for gubbins dennis gubbins stops killer whale attacks off the coast of spain
by singing whale songs to angry orcas it's all good stuff it's all good stuff it wouldn't be
that i should sing the song did i sing the songs to anger them or were they already angry and i
just sang songs to them you can't pull the thread. The whole thing falls apart.
And then it's no longer killer waker. Let's know it's orcas. Yeah, it's orcas.
Orcas. And I think it's off the coast of Portugal, but we're not nitpicking. Those are great
headlines.
No, those are great headlines. I thought it was very funny.
You know, what's weird is the roles in this have changed. Usually Fitz kind of drives
this and I get to be more of the react guy. And it's very weird when roles change because you're clearly like, you know,
guesting and I have to do most of the sort of ring leading.
And it reminds me, and I've talked about this before.
I'm, I'm late to the airport guy. That's my identity. I'm not proud of it.
But that is truly like, I, that is a That's my identity. I'm not proud of it, but that is truly like, I, that is
a hundred percent of my identity. And then one time he and I were flying, I think it was to Vegas
together. And I showed up and I thought he'd be standing outside his house in full panic mode.
Like where the fuck, like, we're not going to make this. And I pull up and Aaron's watering
the lawn and Aaron just goes, yeah, he packing I'm like what and I'm like we're
not getting all of a sudden in that instant I started saying all the things he was supposed
to say which is we're not gonna I don't think we're gonna make it like in all this and then
he he goes and then he comes out with his bag with clothes hanging out of it and he goes
you better let me drive get in the passenger seat and then he goes i run two major lights on the way to lax
and now i am the felix unger in the equation from the odd couple who's tightly wound and i'm
neurotic and i don't like it at all i don't like how fitz flips that on me yeah and that's what
you've done to me today sorry which brings us since i'm driving this thing, to our song.
Now, you have a song?
Oh, I made a song like a little over a year ago, sent it to you guys, thought it would be used,
played it to a couple of fans I ran into at Penmar.
They seemed to really like it.
So I figure we could play it here and we could let everybody at home decide.
Okay.
Now, you're going to hold it up to both mics, maybe.
Hold your mic that's hanging.
Oh, yeah.
I'll do it right here.
Are we ready?
Yeah.
Should we hold for this plane?
No.
I have a plane also.
Oh, it's probably the same plane.
Well, yeah, I'm by the Santa Monica.
Okay, three, two, one, ready?
Party?
Yeah, party. You take Sunday papers and what do you got? You got a couple of dudes who don't know what's what.
They're gonna sit in their closets and wear maroon and then they're gonna say stuff that isn't true
about their friends, about the news, about actors and movies and such and such and they don't know
what news is because they're a couple of guys that don't really give a shit it's
there we go okay and Fitz is Greg and Fitzsimmons and oh boy had it for a minute had it for a minute
there we go okay I think that's perfect that uh it starts off hearing your voice the weird thing
is it played at the top and we didn't comment on it at all I would have definitely commented on that
was that that was that we didn't play that up top did we yes if it's the
song of the week that's what that's what that's what played us in okay I think
we're you Denman just asked if we're using your song I think we're using your
song okay I'll send you did your straightest voice I thought it sounded straight voice and like one
take wonder improv style give me a theme and I'll do it oh I have a job for you
do you have a piece of paper I do
we're gonna go to Corrections let's do it. Corrections. All right.
Corrections just for any new listeners and any new hosts like Dennis.
This is where Greg gets corrected every week.
I love you guys, but holy shit.
Manatees are not fish.
They're mammals.
Greg said, if I ever have to fuck a fish and then they're mammals greg said if i ever have to a fish and then
they're not gonna talk not like those dolphins which by the way are also mammals
and that was from manolo all right here you like new one you liken 700 volts to kill a death row
inmate to like a couple of light bulbs if If you notice my email address, I dabble in electricity.
I don't have his email address here.
Greg didn't give me that.
The common light bulb is 120 volts.
700 volts would probably make a light bulb explode
or at the very least burn out in a couple of seconds.
700 volts is something most humans
will never see in their lives.
Most factories run all their high powered equipment
with 480 volts.
So don't scoff at 700 volts, says JJ.
And we have the term going up the river
refers to that these literally,
Greg sent these and these are all corrections about him.
I believe the term going up the river refers to the Thames River in London
and being incarcerated in the Tower of London.
Sounds like it could apply to Sing Sing, though.
Holly in Atascadero, California.
Is that near where you are?
Atascadero.
Atascadero.
Oh, that's Atascadero?
Oh, I've never seen it in Britain.
Yeah.
You're from San Fran.
I'm from just north of San Francisco, yes.
Marin County, California.
I just said that to annoy you.
You get very bent out of shape.
Apparently, your whole overly sensitive city gets bent out of shape when someone says San Fran.
Yeah, you don't call it San Fran or even Frisco.
You just call it the city, San Francisco.
Shaky Town, Frisco?
City by the Bay?
The lowdown, like Boz Skaggs used to sing about it.
Oh, is that what he sang about?
Yeah.
The dirty lowdown!
Does Chicago, I bet New York has more than we realize,
but San Francisco seems to have the most nicknames.
Shaky Town.
Fog City is another one.
Fog City, I never even heard.
City by the Bay.
City by the Bay.
You guys call it The City, right?
We just call it The City, yeah.
Right, right, right.
Same with New York.
I wonder if Chicago calls it The City.
Probably, because there's big suburbs. That's where I was born, suburbs of Chicago.
Yeah, in Happy Valley, what's the name of it?
Blue Island Hospital.
Oh, that's Chicago. No, but where did you grow up outside of San Fran?
Oh, Mill Valley and another town that we don't name to keep the tourists away.
But those who know, know.
I think it's, I think the secret's already out.
Now isn't it already?
It's Bolinas, it's Bolinas, yes.
It's already been ruined by Airbnbs and dot commerce.
Yeah, it's like Republican now.
Hey wait, are we gonna go back to these things?
Cause the mammal comment, this is interesting, a little while ago, I ad libbed a line on stage for some
reason, I don't remember why. And then I did it again. But I just randomly said I wanted
to be a mentor to a manatee. Okay. And then all you got to do is just be like, you know
what, I think you should really go eat some of that sea lettuce, and just try to avoid
those propellers. And that's the mentoring program yeah that's mentoring and then you hustle and then we
make sweet love because you don't fuck you know mammals mammals make love you could fuck the fish
but we mammals we've had and and did you it was it was a news story like, oh man, maybe two years ago, but they found a manatee in Florida with a Trump logo on it?
For years, people have been engraving their initials in manatees.
And it's one of the things that I think is grounds for immediate execution.
If you see someone taking a Bowie knife and literally carving their initials into manatee skin.
Is that how they, oh God god i was hoping it wasn't
that is that really it yeah yeah i mean maybe those stick on like a stick on yeah no they uh
i love manatees they're amazing sea cows they look cutest things ever they are uh i saw some
i saw some in florida last night oh you did right off shore. Did you get, did you swim with them
or you just watched from the?
No, well, you're supposed to keep your distance,
but other guys, a bunch of people took their like kayaks
or paddle boards also out there
and kind of watched from a distance.
But then a word flew around that someone saw a whale shark
and this is off the panhandle.
And then, sure enough, in the paper the next day, Destin, Florida.
I think it's called Destin.
There was a spotting of a whale shark.
Wow.
Oh, that would be amazing.
Which is kind of rare up there.
Yeah.
I don't know how rare, but it's not.
All right.
I guess we have to read Fitzsimmons tour dates.
Do I really? Escondido. Do you want me to do it?, but it's not. All right, I guess we have to read Fitzsimmons tour dates. Do I really?
Escondido.
Do you want me to do it?
Yeah, let's see.
That would be lovely.
All right, here we go.
Fitzy is taking a break from touring.
Okay, moving on.
Oh, I love that.
All right.
I'm joking.
Here we go.
Let's read the first couple.
We don't have to go to the next one.
If you haven't seen them live, got to do it.
He's great.
He's a great comedian.
Here we go.
Escondido at Grand Comedy,ember 22nd and 23rd shirley massachusetts at the bull run october 5th manchester new hampshire at chunkies sound like a great place
october 6th then in nashua new hampshire they a Chunkies the next day, October 7th. So if you
can't get to one Chunkies, roll your fat ass over to the other Chunkies. Isn't that what I'm supposed
to do? And then Arlington at the Draft House, October 20th and 21st. Should we mention you
skipped Sacramento? Yeah. Sacramento is a place killed. It's, it's one of those places that they
think they're the Bay area. They think this you're the Capitol and it was a mistake. It should have
been San Francisco, but he'll be there at the punchline, which is a great club in San Francisco,
but in the one in Sacramento, never been October 12th through the 14th. So that must be there with
them last year. How fun was it was pretty fun the crowd I mean
it's a great club it's a great club so uh and we did the podcast from there actually our only live
podcast yeah there are nice fans up that way Chris Chris says nice fans up that way all right
we don't have to read much more I don't Baltimore Houstonimore houston then bakersfield and then san francisco punchline november 30th my birthday san fran yeah maybe you're a query you're an aquarius sagittarius
oh i don't know the difference oh you're oh you're petty and uh thin skinned and reactive
thin skinned and is that really it yeah those are two of my things on my birthday book,
which I have my computer on thin skin, which I am literally as
well, I bump into something and I got blood and reactive. So now
you might understand me a little bit better. It's not by choice
or anything. It's by birth.
It's written in the stars. All right. And now we have a
sponsor. Let's talk about, I don't think we normally
announce you have a sponsor. Oh, what? Sponsor time. Normally it's not a segment, but okay.
We're breaking all the rules today. Listen, it's game time. We talk about it every week
and I go on game time. You actually, we, you asked us for a game time i had a friend looking for
tickets and i they got them your got them game time and they used the promo code papers and they
like i think with the savings they like the tickets cost them like only like five or ten bucks
because that you get 20 bucks off that's amazing uh no i have that app now application oh yeah i
didn't check with Taylor Swift.
I didn't see like how low they went with Taylor Swift.
But let's see about some sports.
Let's see if we can get LA Sparks tickets.
LA Sparks.
Okay.
Tomorrow.
Do you want to go?
We can wait.
Right now, they're $4.
But we can wait until they go down Rams $16 and that's
tomorrow Rams are preseason tomorrow yeah preseason first one oh well today's
Sunday we have to pretend it's Sunday so this Angeles Chargers on 820, two bucks.
Wow.
Come on now.
What else here?
Drake tomorrow, still hanging at 442,
but you can bet that's going to be the lowest price.
Anyway, game time's fast.
Here's a true story.
Here's a true story about tickets.
I got ripped off.
Like, I wish game time was there a few years ago when I
went to try to go last minute to the Rams game against the 49ers. Went on Craigslist,
got a person and they ripped me off four times. Four different times I tried to buy their
ticket so I ended up giving them like 260 bucks or something.
What?
Yeah, there was just a scam. uh they just if game time was there i
would never even cross my mind bam bam bam and now i got it so sounds like crook game on you times
three in that equation more like four i was you know i was on the train on edibles and i was new
to apple pay and they just found the right guy.
Wow. I got ripped off once because I went on Craigslist and I know you're not supposed to.
And then I said, how do I know I'm not being ripped off? And they go, well,
we could use Zelle, which was relatively new at the time. And I'm like, oh, and I'm like,
what's that? And they're like, well, that's just from my bank account to yours.
And it knows my bank account. And, you know, like, and I'm at Chase and I was like, well, that's just from my bank account to yours. And it knows my bank account.
And, you know, like, and I'm at Chase.
And I was like, well, that sounds fair.
That doesn't sound, you know, that sounds like something easy.
So did it.
And the real insult was that they actually emailed me the tickets, which were not real.
So I went down there, like, just let me know you ripped me off if I can't find you.
You know what I mean? Yeah.
And then when I was down there, I go, I call Wells Fargo, my bank immediately.
And they're like, I'm like, wait, do you see the account?
Right.
Because I used your service.
Like, sir, it's not our service.
I'm like, yes, it is.
You guys created it.
Chase, Wells Fargo, the banks created Zelle.
But they hide behind
it and say it's third party anyway long boring story ending is they're like nope we see what
chase accounted is you're right i'm like great so i'll give them one do i get my money back to like
no we're not we're not going to do anything that's literally what they said and they saw the chase account that my money was that it went wow still use game time will you snag the

Okay, the crinkles are a little long.
Okay.
It is that time of year again.
Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.
It's officially underway, flooding the western South Dakota town of 7,100
with roughly a half a million bikers
from across the country and even the world.
Over the course of the 10-day Sturgis motorcycle rally, the South Dakota Highway Patrol releases
daily information on crashes and crime in and around the city of Sturgis.
Known as the Rally Tally. The daily release includes information of investigations
conducted only by the South Dakota Highway Patrol, and it does not even include the statistics
compiled by other organizations like the police department and sheriff's offices around the area.
So anyway, I did not go on today, which I should have. Today, by the way, is Friday for us.
So it's really going to heat up these last few days.
But every year I do this.
And what's amazing to me is how many old guys are literally flying around without helmets on Harley Davidsons all around Sturgis and completely wipe out and worse.
So I'm not making light of any of these injuries
and there are deaths as well.
I am not making light of that at all,
but I do have a strong message,
which is don't drive wasted.
I think that's an easy one.
Throw a helmet on regardless
and maybe don't drive out of control
because all of these, there's a popular phrase
where they got separated from their bike.
Anyway, here are a couple.
Mile marker 54 of Interstate 90.
68-year-old Robert Balsey of Chesterfield, Virginia
was driving a 2007 Harley Davidson motorcycle
westbound on 90 when he failed to maintain
his lane of travel.
He entered the median and became separated from his bike.
Mile marker six.
What?
This is the best phrasing ever of someone crashing on a motorcycle.
It's amazing.
I'm not putting the ending because some of these are tragic.
Got separated.
Yeah.
Mile marker six of Wildlife Loop Road.
The 65-year-old male driver
who was not wearing a helmet
was traveling eastbound
and failed to negotiate.
I love that also.
He failed to negotiate
a right-hand turn
and became separated from his bike.
Both the driver and motorcycle
came to rest
on the north side of the road. Mile marker 163 of South Dakota Highway 34. and became separated from his bike. Both the driver and motorcycle came to rest
on the north side of the road.
Mile marker 163 of South Dakota Highway 34,
a 64-year-old male was driving a 2005 Harley Davidson West
when he lost control of the motorcycle,
entered the ditch, and became separated from his bike.
The driver who was not wearing a helmet
was transported to Pierre Hospital.
I mean, it goes on and on.
A patrol says 2004 Harley Davidson motorcycle was traveling eastbound.
Okay, he was traveling eastbound in the westbound lane of I-90, and he hit a 2008 GMC Yukon head on.
The 61-year-old male driver of the motorcycle was wearing a helmet. I'm not going to read that next line, but let me just tell you that all the passengers in the Yukon were not injured.
This is interesting though. All of these except one, they mentioned that the person was driving
a Harley Davidson. Yeah. yeah and this one they don't
mention it so we don't know yeah you only mentioned harley's when people are dying on him
i don't know i mean wait which one did mention the everyone was the marker 65 year old driver
who was wearing that wasn't was not wearing a helmet died no mention of harley and this first one harley harley we weren't going
to say who died dennis harley a couple of them died i can see it right here on the thing can
they know the thing here at home yeah a couple of these people died dennis a 20 no it's such a funny
podcast now a 2020 davidson a 2023 har scaring them straight. A 2023 Harley Davidson motorcycle
while traveling south on US 385
was attempting to make a left-hand turn.
I wonder how that negotiation went.
And was struck by a 2011 Yamaha motorcycle, Dennis.
And the 2013. There we go.
And a 2013 Yamaha motorcycle.
So now their motorcycles are hitting each other.
That's also a common thing that happens.
They're not only driving into Yukons.
Mile marker 30, a 2002 Harley-Davidson,
and a 2015 Harley-Davidson were both traveling southbound,
collided with each other, and hit the guardrail.
Anyway, it goes on and on.
So be careful. It's amazing. it's not just fentanyl and whatever else is killing people at sturgis i do know that uh wheeler walker jr went and played sturgis
early in the week one of the first concerts that's hilarious i wonder if they get it how many of them
there are watching him and get it and others just love his music because his music's fantastic.
The music is fantastic. I think when he does say he's singing the greatest country in the world, they take that at face value.
Yeah.
when they do, he usually then adds, um, the greatest country in the world that's never made a mistake. And they go crazy. They go absolutely, they go fucking bonkers. Um, so
there's, there's that. So there's a level, there's a level of maybe not getting it. Although
I don't want to ruin for any of our listeners who think our country's never made a mistake.
Right. Okay. Here we go. Next news story. You don't have to do for any of our listeners who think our country's never made a mistake. Right. Okay, here we go.
Next news story.
You don't have to do a paper crinkle.
We're still on the front page.
Like a Virgin launched for the very first time.
This was in truth or consequence New Mexico.
Virgin Galactic rocketed to the edge of space with its first tourist Thursday,
including former British Olympian who bought his ticket 18 years ago and a mother
daughter duo from the caribbean the first private customer the first private customer flight
have been delayed for years and success means richard branson's virgin galactic can now start
offering monthly rides joining jeff bezos's blue origin Is it Bezos? Bezos.
I think so too.
And Elon Musk's.
Musk?
I think it's Musk.
And Elon Musk's SpaceX in the space tourism business.
The cost of Branson's is $450,000 a seat.
Although I bet you can get a lot less on game time.
Like Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin aims for the fringes of space, quick ups and downs
from West Texas.
Blue Origin has launched 31 people so far, but flights are on hold following a rocket
crash last fall.
Apparently, the rocket crashed into a submarine that also had millionaires on it yeah
there's a lot of depth in this podcast dennis is he
yeah i was saying wait till we get to the documentary oh yeah we're gonna talk about uh
what's it called free fallen deep what's the deepest breath oh yeah we're gonna talk about uh what's it called free fallen deep what's the deepest breath oh yeah we're going to
talk about the deepest breath spacex is the only private company flying customers all the way to
orbit charging is a much heftier price too tens of millions of dollars per seat it's already flown
three private crews nasa nasa is its biggest customer relying on SpaceX to ferry astronauts to and from the International Space Station since 2020.
I mean, these crash also.
Is that part of it?
Is that part of the draw, like the submarine?
I think so.
Is the risk involved?
Like then you survive it and you're like an interesting person at cocktail parties and stuff.
I just have a question.
of an interesting person at cocktail parties and stuff.
I just have a question.
Is Elon Musk giving our government a discounted price for this?
Seeing how he used subsidies and loans to become a billionaire?
Oh, yeah.
Not paying his fair share of taxes?
Yeah.
I wonder if he's kicking back or is he charging full price?
That's a great question.
Thank you. I don't know. Yeah. You should. Maybe it is baked charging full price? That's a great question. Thank you. I don't know.
Yeah.
Fitzy?
You should.
Maybe it is baked in, right?
Who knows?
I hope so.
Who else are they going to use, though?
Doesn't he have them by the short hairs?
Probably, yeah.
I don't know.
I don't know either.
Okay.
A plague on your Texas house.
You mentioned this story this week.
I love this story.
Peggy Jones said as she was on her riding mower on her property in Sillsby, Texas,
she was on it when a snake fell from the sky and wrapped itself around her right arm
and started lunging at her face.
and started lunging at her face.
Jones did not have time to react before a hawk,
which apparently dropped the snake as it was flying over her,
dove in and began trying to get the snake back. The hawk clawed at the snake as the snake struck back at the hawk
with Jones' arm as the battleground.
Quote, as I was trying to sling my arm and sling the snake off, the snake wrapped around my arm, she said. The
snake was striking at my face. It struck my glasses a couple of times. I was slinging
and slinging, but he was striking and striking and he just kept hanging on. Then Jones turned
to us yeah which was she was from texas
wasn't like yeah that sounds like then i was slinging and slinging and i was slinging my
arm like my daddy told me if a snake camel falls out of the sky you sling your arm
wrong. Who said slinging their arm? I was slinging and slinging. Did she make hash browns all morning?
Maybe that's her job. Yeah. And I read somewhere in the article, I don't think I put it in her,
her husband was on a mower. How big is their property? A mower on the front lawn. But imagine him like, first of all, you know, he has the headset on,
you know, the John Deere, like he probably puts on like it's only his only peaceful moment that
whole day. And then he hears this cattle walling from the backyard. Can't she handle anything?
What is it now? He sees that. Oh, help me, Jesus. Please help me, Jesus.
If I was the husband and I rounded the corner and I saw that and she didn't see me, I would back it up.
I would back my way to the front yard.
I mean, that's end of times.
It is.
You're on your own.
I mean, that's a sign of the apocalypse no isn't that like what do they call when the frogs fall from the heavens yeah and that movie
magnolia yeah in magnolia he did it um but holy crap so wait what else does she say here okay
well then she got a great idea she then turned turned to a higher power. I'm not her
husband. I'm screaming during this whole time. Help me, Jesus. Please help me, Jesus. So it's
slaying. Help me, Jesus. Slaying. Help me, Jesus. Slaying. Help me, Jesus.
Wait, look at what her husband said. Her husband said, they said they said they drove piggy to the hospital and she told him what happened and then this is his quote i'm thinking she's still in hysterics
you think wendell
wait i didn't know you're allowed to say that with your significant other like when they're
clearly in hysterics you're allowed to say, I think.
And my favorite thing is that both,
like the snake was like,
it fell out of the sky thinking its days were numbered and landed on this poor woman.
It was like, all right,
I'm getting some bites in before I go.
It just starts biting her.
And she's just there.
She just happens to be there.
And he's just like, yep, I'm going.
If I'm going out, you're going to take some of this.
And then the hawk was down there scratching at her to get it back oh God that is one of the
greatest things ever and then I want to I want a bear to come over and take try to get the
Hawk right oh wait yeah how about the bear how about the bear that was on the plane did you hear
about that no what happened that I didn't put in, but this is one of the news stories I found.
There was a bear on a plane flying from around,
and he broke free from his crate in the upper,
like where you put your overhead compartment stuff.
Bears on a plane.
Bears on a plane, and it broke out, and it started putting its face out,
and it said that passengers on the plane started making growling noises at the bear, and it started like putting its face out. And it said that passengers on the plane
started making growling noises at the bear
and it went back into its cage.
So the bear was like,
oh man, there's some bears on this plane.
I'm outta here.
Like it worked.
It worked.
Look at that lady down in Texas.
I'm gonna jump down there and take out the hawk.
Yeah.
Yeah, the snake realized it was on borrowed time.
It's like, I'm gonna get me some
eyeballs that's what it was striking at how terrifying all right so wait what does it say
here the hawk finally took the snake loose from jones's arm but not before it had clawed her
jones said she drove the mower back towards her home where her husband was mowing the front of
the property her husband wendell 66 said he meanwhile wendell
probably fucking skidded out and didn't negotiate a turn this week on his mower trying to get the
fuck away from her uh he said he heard his wife screaming hysterically as she zigzagged toward him
and failed and flailed her bloody arm he tried to get away but her motor was faster than his i wish it's not
uh oh her name's peggy oh peggy oh when he drove peggy to the hospital as she told him what
happened i'm thinking she's yeah i'm thinking she's still in hysterics wendell said i'm thinking
because she left me so i don't know for sure i'd be freaked out oh both the snake and the hawk had done damage
to her peggy said there were puncture wounds cuts abrasions scratches and severe bruising
the snake also dented her glasses as it tried to strike her face according to cbs news
oh and then this is the last part it wasn't Peggy's first run-in with a snake.
Two years ago, a venomous snake had bitten Peggy while she was cleaning another property
so they could build a house on it. Just keep her in the house. Keep her in the kitchen, Wendell.
How many snake-filled properties do these people want? Is that the deal? So wait,
how many snakes we got on
this property here because that one next door has no snakes and they want a million but we want we
want snakes so 850 yeah like is it a good deal or do they find them out and go oh yeah here come
peggy and wendell throw the snakes in the yard we were going to buy that other plot, but it was just snake adjacent. We wanted snakes on the grounds.
Oh, fuck.
Yeah, what are they doing?
No wonder.
Maybe they should question why the land they're buying is so cheap
with all these dens of snakes all over the place.
Good Lord.
All right, Crinkle, look what section we're in.
It's good news for gubbins, y'all.
What is the good news?
You were going to talk about how I'm charging you for missing your tea time,
when in reality, I'm not charging.
They charge. Well, you kind of are i mean do i so i oh i should i
just pay the course directly no no no i paid for it so you have to pay me back they charged me
it is legitimate all right i'll pay it's unbelievable it's unbelievable i called and
talked to the guy for 10 minutes seven out of of eight players came in. I love how Fitzy was getting mad at me because I was trying to tease him
and giving you half.
Yeah.
And just the fact that, like, oh, yeah, Gubbins, this guy, what an idiot.
Just trying to get eight guys together to play golf.
Like, oh, what a jerk.
What a jerk to try to get a bunch of people together and have fun.
Like, he's the worst so but we do this hey rustic Canyon seven out of eight players
showed up you shouldn't charge someone for a miss fuckin tea time that is lame
how many cards do they run out for Four? Yeah, four. Yeah.
Yeah.
So they made their money on their four cards.
They made all kinds of money.
It's all fucking lame.
It's lame as shit.
It was just a bummer it happened.
So when we read this section each, so no, no,
we're not leaving Good News for Good.
So when we read this section each week,
it must not feel great, right?
Not always.
uh it must not feel great right not always
not always to be honest on the course today i had a thought we played earlier today at penmar usual friday uh morning thing uh when we're not on picket lines in this shut
down town anyway um you know we all joke you're the mayor of Venice.
Have you ever thought about running for office?
No, people have asked me to, and I just, I don't know.
I don't have it in me.
I don't know.
Could be interesting though.
Small town government. It is tough.
Kind of fascinating.
And it's not that small a town.
Right.
It's a giant budget, obviously.
Well, there's no mayor of Venice, but there's representatives from the district.
Yeah, there's like a council or something.
And I'm just thinking, you know, your background is improv.
That's a perfect background to become a politician.
Right.
Got to roll with it.
Got to roll with it.
Bob and move.
Add.
But everyone would throw you fundraising parties. I actually think you could get elected. Right? Gotta roll with it. Gotta roll with it. Bob and move. Add.
But everyone would throw you fundraising parties. I actually think you could get elected.
Let's do it. I'll do it.
Dude, you'd get a government job. It's a dream. Great benefits.
Ugh, benefits. I'd like some benefits. Job security.
Yeah.
But it's one big audition. It's like one big audition.
And if you don't book that part, you're a real, that'd be a real buzzkill.
No, you make a career out of losing campaigns. But now you have name recognition.
And so the next one you do even better.
I'd like to be a senator.
Oh, yeah.
How about being a senator?
Schwarzenegger.
Excuse me, Senator Gobbins, please come join. I defer. be a senator oh yeah how about being a senator schwarzenegger excuse me senator gobbins please
i defer to the uh the gentleman from venice i do declare as a member of this fine
governing body i do represent the town of venice beach california and everyone asks you why
Venice Beach, California.
And everyone asks you why the representative has such a strong southern accent. Because I was given a suggestion before coming here today.
And I said, give me a regional location that my character is from.
And they said, the South Circa 1937.
Remember Brody when Zach was with him in New Orleans?
And he's like, can you do any accents?
And he said he could just do Southern and tough guy.
Oh God.
That's one of the great clips.
People,
please go back and find that show and watch it.
It's,
it's amazing.
God rest Brody.
And yeah,
there's going to be a softball fundraiser party for him on Sunday,
apparently.
Right.
Today.
Yeah. 818. 818. August 18th is 818 oh it's next Sunday oh when you said next Sunday I
thought it was the one ahead of us silly me I thought next Sunday meant the next
Sunday I think it's I don't know when let's get to entertainment.
Well, those are good crinkles, man.
Okay, so we talked about Barbie.
Here's my dumb take on Barbie.
It's not even a take.
Okay.
My reaction.
So I went with two high hopes.
I thought it was going to be really clever. i thought it was going to be really clever
i thought it was going to be funny it wasn't i don't think it was funny at all i thought all and the theater wasn't just me pouting the theater uh no one was laughing and then obviously it's
got so many positive reviews but like noah baumbach is the co-writer and that whole speech like oh you
know as a woman and i'm using this fucking fatigued voice because it's the most tired thing and it's
been said a bazillion times where it's like uh you can be sexy but not too sexy uh you have to be
powerful but not too powerful that you're threatening and you have to be um you know
independent but not too independent that your husband gets threatened.
And it's like, and Noah Baumbach wrote that exact speech
in a marriage story, I think it was,
you know, when the lawyer, the high-powered lawyer,
Dern, Laura Dern, like gives that speech.
Didn't see it.
Didn't see it, never been married, not interested.
Not my, not in my realm.
Oh, you'd be so very life affirming for you never been married, not interested, not in my realm.
Oh, it'd be so very life affirming for you because marriage looks absolutely miserable in that movie.
But anyway, it was like, I guess,
and write in if you disagree, but it's PG-13.
So I'm thinking it's written for 13 year olds. I don't care if
it's a boy or a girl or anything in between or wherever on the spectrum, but it's like,
these ideas have to be new to you, I guess. And I was like, what, why is it getting so much credit
for being subversive? What was subversive about it? Mattel is the producer.
Yeah, that's what was interesting. And there was like a big car commercial in the middle of it,
which bummed me out. Remember when they all get in the cars and they're driving around these big
logos? I see your point. And sometimes I got to step myself back on that too and realize, yeah,
there are people that don't know that. There are little children that are going to see that movie that don't really know everything that we know is you're 58 six how old how old are you
me just turned just turned 56 how dare you yeah so we're in our i'm in my early 50s you're in
your late 50s so like for us for people like us it's different so yes i think there is part of it where there was stuff
like okay it's a little heavy-handed and a little like rote or you know redundant from other things
or derivative whatever word you want to use but i thought it was good i enjoyed it like i said i i
laughed i thought i thought um what's his name was really funny several times ryan goss ryan goss
he's just such a great actor and she's an incredible actor too
and like they had a great little joke in there about her that was really funny
but I also I could when they said something about when she was crying and the narrator said oh yeah
yeah yeah she was really that's funny so I don't know my one friend who's a woman in her 40s um was kind of
disappointed with the ending but I kind of liked it so I could see how people didn't like a lot
of stuff but again my expectations were not super high I wanted it to be good I wanted it to be
smart and kind of uh you know what's the word like you know serial mom remember that movie serial mom
yeah dark comedy I thought it would be a little darker comedy, not so heavy handed.
But again, for their target audience, which is maybe kids nine to 15, I think it was good.
Yeah, I guess.
Could be the animals.
I think maybe because and then I agreed with the best is reading the negative reviews and how many women were insulted by it and so i i guess too many people had told me oh it's subversive and really funny
and i thought it was oh for two uh on that front and listen you know well done it's shiny it's
happy there's a lot of dance numbers and uh but. And she's just stunning to look at.
Like, it was literally, like, galore.
One of the most attractive he is on Earth.
She is a Barbie doll.
Yeah.
And a great actor.
Great actor.
Oh, she's incredible.
Okay, The Deepest Breath.
So you saw it last night?
I watched it last night, and within the first like scene, no spoilers.
Like I literally said out loud, fuck these people.
I don't know.
I have a real strong visceral action.
I used to do whitewater rafting guiding and I used to like, you know, rock climb and mountain
bikes and pretty extreme stuff.
And so I'm not saying I would never do extreme sports, but they were always under the realm
of like not idiotic. Like, I'm not going to try to
jump a mountain bike over a ravine that's 100 feet wide,
because no one's done it yet. You know, because I know it's
not going to work. And you like, right, it's not worth dying for.
And you know, I have a friend whose little brother is one of
those squirrel suit flyers. Yeah, you know, one of the
groundbreaking guys, he's been
doing it forever and i watch his videos and it's insane but it's like that thing they're always
trying to push it oh he's going to try to fly and grab a flag off a piece of off a rock going over
this cliff into a canyon in a suit and it's like oh cool this should be fun i get to watch someone
die it's just disgusting.
Okay. Then what did you think about a free solo then? The solo, you know, the climber?
Okay. I was going to wonder if you were consistent with that.
Yeah. Same, same thing. Yeah. And he's also a self-centered narcissistic guy and you,
that comes across very clearly. Oh, he's on the spectrum. They even talked about that.
Yeah. Yeah. And then he had a, you know, and it's like cool dude that's fine but you're falling in love with
a person and now that person is going to be left like the kid who did it uh he was another amazing
climber there's a documentary about him and i forget what it's called like highest peaks i
don't know same thing he's a rock the ice climber yeah yeah no the ice climber yeah that
yeah that one well anyway so the deepest breath is a documentary on netflix sorry if we didn't
establish this but this is the free divers it's called who go down as far as they think they can
go down um and one breath yeah one breath and usually oh yeah on are they
unweighted or do they choose a weight i forget one one of the dives they chose a weight but yeah i
think they're different things and that's the other thing too they have all these rules that
they all made up like how many people are in that community in the world a thousand right 500 that
do it and they're like wow she
didn't grab this and she did one breath and some of them they use those giant fins sometimes they're
using a rope that's actually pulling them sometimes they're swimming next to it so it's hard to tell
what was legal what wasn't but yeah well the rope the rope doesn't pull them i think they pull
themselves up on it yeah but uh how about when they get to the surface
they don't they come to the surface and they're like i'm good and they're like no you're not
not yet yeah that was intense what is it like 15 sec 10 seconds or something and they have to wait
they have to like keep them upright because if they lean backwards they can
drown on their own you know their own lack of breath or whatever so they have to stay awake and
give like two different okay i'm okay i'm okay i'm alive and then not i guess not pass yeah if
you pass out you don't you don't it doesn't count anyway it's a it's trending like maybe number one
on netflix uh so i decided to watch it there There's an old movie, I think it's called like,
Big Blue, not Big Blue, Blue, I forget what it is.
It's not a great movie, but I remember I saw it
in the theater. Deep Blue?
I think it might be Deep Blue or something.
Chris, can you pick up the name,
maybe put it next to Deepest Breath?
It's Luke Benson. Luke Benson?
I forget his name.
Yeah, he did the one about the sniper with the little girl.
That was his next movie, and he used the same actor.
Welcome to the Sunday Papers where we don't remember a single reference.
Yeah. All right, another entertainment story.
Another entertainment story.
This week, a post on her verified Instagram account
stated that teenage influencer Lil Tay
had sadly, unexpectedly passed away alongside her brother
and that the circumstances surrounding
she and her brother's passing are still under investigation.
News quickly spread across the internet
with many fans and followers
sharing tributes to Lil Tay. But Lil Tay has confirmed she is not dead. The rumors were
greatly exaggerated and she has been a victim of a cruel social media hack. She said, quote,
I want to make it clear that my brother and I are safe and alive, but I'm completely heartbroken
and struggling to even find the right words to say it.
It's been a very traumatizing 24 hours.
All day yesterday, I was bombarded with endless, heartbreaking, and tearful phone calls from loved ones, all while trying to sort out this mess.
It sounds like they were upset she was still alive if the phone calls were tearful.
still alive if the phone calls were tearful um according to tmz lil tay thanked meta for helping to her sorry for helping to get her instagram account back um they removed the post it's still
unclear why it took tay 24 hours to get word out that she's alive via other means um anyway uh
what's this chris write this she's now no i wrote that google search well yeah because
yeah i think two things clearly she's a fan of the tv show dave and they didn't know what was
going on right they did the fake death thing and speaking of i saw uh gata the other day in venice
that was cool but yeah so here's my first thought without much of a joke is that she like i i went
to search her because i didn't know who she was and and she's now number one if you just put lil
in it goes lil tay bouncing out little bow wow and then before that i think it was little real
lowry lil kim and then little tons of littles yeah lil lin manuel you know lil lin manuel
Yeah, Lil Lin-Manuel. You know Lil Lin-Manuel? Is that Lil Lin-Manuel?
Yeah, he's the guy who wrote that musical about the guy Hamilton. Yeah, that guy.
And then also then the next one on the list was Lil Bit of Monica by my side.
Is that what Lilith Fair Chris is saying?
Lilith Fair. But yeah, so it worked because i went and looked her up and now i'm a fan
and i'm following her and i'm really hoping to see her live asap rocky little lace up rocky
oh yeah it was the big blue in 1988 luke basson uh yeah so here i'm not trying to be mean
not trying to be mean i couldn't tell the difference between my reactions when i found out that little taya died and when i found out she was still alive same reaction which was uh nothing
yeah who is she she's really young i didn't even look i typed it in that's as far as i went i haven't watched
anything of hers yeah she's a little young little young uh is she doing dances on tiktok and stuff
i have no idea uh she's gigantic i guess i mean it was a big story this week it's so stupid so
it's that the nickname is is ironic So she's actually a big Tay?
No, she's a little Tay.
Oh, okay.
I don't know about her brother.
They've involved him in this whole mess.
I have no idea.
And both of them had died.
It sounds like if you're going to hack someone, I mean, what publicity for her?
We're talking about her now.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's why it took her so long.
It was probably a moment of like, hey, is this really so bad?
Like Dave.
Yeah, like you're saying.
It's crazy.
I know.
You know, that whole art imitating life and whatnot.
And the whatnots.
Let's go to a new section make america florida
okay florida man gets 10-day jail sentence after incident with woman at red lobster i love i love any headline on april 28, Sumter County deputies responded to the Red Lobster located on Wedgwood for a possible sexual offense.
They spoke with the victim, a 20-year-old woman, who told them she was sitting at a table with friends
when James Stevens approached the table and said a phrase similar to nice or good lord. Okay. So I did read this story. I'm going
to continue reading it. I want to hear your reaction on this. Think if the crime, the
punishment fits the crime on this. So Stevens is the guy, right? Stevens then went to the restroom,
but later returned to the table. He asked for food and began, quote, rubbing the woman on her shoulder, the report stated.
He allegedly spoke to them about being, quote, crazy.
If someone ever calls you crazy, you say, I'm crazy for friends, crazy for love, crazy for success, crazy for sex.
love, crazy for success, crazy for sex, Stevens allegedly said before leaning to the woman and giving her an unsolicited hug around her shoulders, the report stated.
She said he then rubbed her back and began to walk away, but not without telling her,
have a nice night, baby girl.
One of our friends calls us baby girl all the time.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
I'm trying to think.
Bobby.
Oh, of course, yeah.
He's like, how you doing, baby girl?
Baby girl.
Hey, baby girl.
The woman told law enforcement the encounter made her feel uncomfortable
and she wished to press charges.
Stevens became defensive and refused to provide clear answers when asked about the incident.
He was then arrested and booked into jail.
Last week, he was sentenced to 10 days in jail after entering an adjudicated guilty plea to the battery, touch, or strike charge of Baby Girl.
So, what do you think about this?
It's a bummer. The whole thing is a bummer, man.
What are you, that's not a response. Are you just trying to play it safe?
This guy shouldn't go to jail for that no he shouldn't
at all he shouldn't go to jail for 10 days maybe one day ladies am i right okay this is i took out
the guy's age because it was much better story when i assumed he was 80 you know what I mean like when he's 80 and he says
baby girl and giving advice like you should be positive he's pretty nice right he's 49 there we
go he's a young man that I didn't like reading I didn't like reading that he was 49 he's a young
man um I don't know yeah it's an interesting thing it brings up like if something makes you
uncomfortable is it's against the law but the you know the touching is what crosses the line
i guess so but that means anyone who gets well i mean it's a slippery slope what about a handshake
yeah yeah i know it is a slippery slope that is the, I don't like, I didn't like the way that person shook my hand. Could be one. Is it because it's the shoulders?
It also says battery, but battery is probably so loosely defined as like unwanted, but it goes battery, touch, or strike charge.
Yeah, so it's touch. Unwanted touch.
That's what they used to call me in high school they used to call me
unwanted touch that was your nickname
because i was the one who wanted to be touched and i was unwanted
oh god all the girls that say i got a uti from ut who's ut oh want to touch dennis
yeah this is an interesting one um next story what you don't want to tell whatever this guy i mean
this is the thing what was weird to me also is it detailed that it was a hug around the shoulder, which was in quotes.
From the back or the side?
Did I tell you when Olivia and Sophie entered U.S.?
What's it called?
What's the official soccer for kids?
Not U.S.
ASAL?
I forget what it is.
Anyway, it's the national one.
It's a giant league for kids.
So, what? ASO?
A-S-Y-U-O.
A-Y-S-O? A-Y-S-O.
That's it. That's it.
So it was A-Y-S-O, right? And, uh, so to be a ref, I had to take a training on all this stuff. And
like a lot of rules that made sense, like you can't go to the,
you can't take them to the restroom alone,
all that stuff.
But there was one where the guy called on me,
maybe he saw I was spacing out and he goes,
so what do you think?
And I hadn't listened.
And he goes, and I guess that's what he could tell.
And he goes, so can you review the policy
and your thoughts on the hugging? And I was that's what he could tell. And he goes, so can you review the policy and your thoughts on the hugging?
And I was like, hugging?
Meanwhile, they had just talked about it.
And so it goes, yeah.
You know, it goes, it's the paragraph there that begins, there should be no, and I swear to God this happened, there should be no hugging from the front.
And I was like, wait, hugging from the back is better?
from the front and I was like wait hugging from the back is better he goes no because it's all side side hugs were permissible if you want a coach a coach
or a or a ref something like that but I I think that has even been phased out
but I guess you like it reminds me of this shoulder hug thing
like maybe he did the old thing your arm around their shoulders yeah like shake it off kid get
it next week yeah i don't know so that's shake it off shake it off wait just it'd be crazy for sex
baby girl yeah crazy for friendship crazy sex. Crazy for awkwardly touching you.
I don't know. What I do want to say officially is this is the tamest Florida story we've ever read.
Yet this guy went to jail for 10 days.
Meanwhile, people in Florida are biting their girlfriends, snakes heads off and cornering them and roughing them up and nothing.
Nothing.
All right. Let's make a play of Florida. This is exhausting. An Australian woman backpacking through Europe says
her experience in hostels are making her ageist towards older females. In a lengthy TikTok video, Lucy Holtz claims older women
are the worst to be around when it comes to sleeping
in a shared space.
Tell me about it, Lucy.
The young traveler booked female-only hostels, so do I,
both for safety reasons, but also because women
are less likely than men to snore at night.
However, she's learned, learned that
this isn't the case. Isn't it learned? What is the difference there? Proper English versus
non-proper. Get your learn taught. How about this? How about this? I heard it on television.
We have now started using the word agreeance instead of agreement. We're in agreeance on
that, aren't we? No, you're not. You're in agreement. There's no such word as agreeance instead of agreement we're in agreeance on that aren't we no you're
not you're in agreement there's no such thing as a grants that's like commentated don't get
isn't it commented isn't it commented yeah i don't know okay um where was i uh however lucy holds
she's no learnt obviously that's where we left off that this isn't the case for older women Where was I? Lucy Holt. No, Lernt.
Obviously, that's where we left off.
That this isn't the case for older women who have kept her awake through the night by snoring, making noises, and even blow-drying their hair at midnight.
Yes, I could have told you all this.
It's got to the point where I see an older woman walking into my dorm room, and I'm like, oh, my God, why are you here?
Stay.
Stay. my dorm room and i'm like oh my god why are you here stay within 24 hours the video exceeded more than 176 000 views and others agreed older women tend to be inconsiderate in hostels quote i had an
older lady in a hostel wake up at 6 a.m turn on the light and do a full workout routine another one and no phone etiquette they're
always watching videos and tick tocks at full volume we could have told you this literally
i just left a hostel in switzerland and an older lady was yelling on phone calls late at night and
early in the morning every day another Another joined the conversation and said,
an older woman straight up took someone's bed at 10 p.m.
when they were out because she wanted that bed more.
She moved all the person's stuff and everything.
One person said a middle-aged woman
kept turning the air conditioner off overnight
while staying in the humid Australian rainforest.
I've had the opposite
experience yeah i was gonna say fucking freezing she's my hot flashes how old is older like we
don't get an age because it's old 35 60 another said i stayed at a hostel in madrid and an older
lady turned on the lights at midnight then blasted tikt at 1 a.m. and also snored like crazy.
I like the young woman is blasting these older women for being on TikTok.
I know.
That's the third one.
They're like, I'd like to know how old is old in this woman's mind.
I know.
I mean, it's Holtz. is old in this woman's mind i know because what this little this when lucy holtz is doing is she
is pulling a karen on all the karens and it's not going to end can out karen a karen karen
she stayed in the karen hostel in madrid that's what it was that's what they should call those
hostels karen then at least you know what's going on in there even the young girls like Karen like Ed to bevics or whatever everyone has just
a lady screaming at him at a worker in the lobby yeah check in yeah she should go to dude only
hostiles and wake up with a dick and balls on her forehead I mean drawing drawn I'm not
talking about I guess that's assault also but
i wasn't talking about real physical assault touch touch by art oh yeah yeah touch shoulder hug maybe
a little shoulder hug i don't know i gotta figure out this shoulder hug the back rub was always my
move oh i don't think you should say that out loud. I've been kind of inappropriate in this podcast just to cover for you.
Let's do sports.
Okay.
I haven't started watching it yet, but you brought it up at breakfast.
Jets hard knocks.'t started watching it yet, but you brought it up at breakfast. Jets hard knocks?
I started watching it.
Yeah, I didn't watch the whole thing.
I'm not a fan of the Jets per se.
Who is, except me?
Yeah.
And I'm not a huge fan of Aaron Rodgers, but he comes across very likable.
And also, just another reminder, as a 49er fan, how we should have drafted him number one overall
instead of Alex Smith when we had the chance.
And, yeah, kid's got a cannon.
He had one.
There was one good moment, though.
He comes out onto the practice field,
and the quarterback they had before is Zach Wilson,
who's this little kid from BYU, little blonde, Mormon-looking,
California kid.
And he was, like, all the rage coming out of college kid and he was like all the
rage coming out of college and he's been awful and so they're walking on to the
practice fields and you can hear the crowd seeing him and hearing him they
start clapping and they start chanting Aaron Rodgers done you know and doing
that whole thing yeah as he walks up he's with Zach Wilson and you hear the
mic pick up he goes you've never heard anything like this have you
did he really
he's such a dick he can't help himself
he's such a jerk
wow I hate that guy
yeah Dickie said
that he was coming across
as kind of likable and he hated that
yeah me too
I guess I'll have to watch it
like the Knicks I have no shame Yeah, me too. I guess I'll have to watch it.
Like the Knicks, I have no shame saying I'm a bandwagon fan.
Last time the Jets made the playoffs, which was, I don't know, 15 years ago, 14, 13 years ago?
What, 2000?
I don't know.
But I rent a big screen for my house.
Oh, right. So I'll get into it if they start doing well but it's just a waste of a life i mean 69 right wasn't that the last super bowl
yeah what were you like eight
no it's interesting this is sports oh yeah in yeah, 2010. Okay. There's no mention. I know you guys are misogynists and all,
but the USA women's national soccer team lost in a brutal way over the weekend.
Did you know this?
I did see it.
I saw that it was a matter of millimeters.
Yeah, not only that,
the other team's goalie made two incredible saves during the regular time.
As someone who's played soccer all my life up until college go ducks university of oregon uh ending in penalty
kicks is one of the worst things in sports it's just not not right it shouldn't happen and our
three of our best players missed two of them missed the goal completely and one hit the bar that if it was two inches
over would have gone in we would have won and advanced but we lost and there was a lot of
hubris involved apparently these uh this young team was talking a lot of trash and so a lot of
people are happy to see us go yeah assuming that we're gonna make it to the finals and stuff
now did trump really badmouth the team?
Oh, yeah.
No, a lot of people are taking delight in it.
It's like the people that claim to be patriots and love their country
are delighting in the fact that their national team lost
because the women might be gay or they maybe didn't sing.
This is it.
Not only were they standing for the national anthem,
which is still the dumbest thing in sports
is to play a national anthem before a game it makes no sense um look up google why that happened
and why it became a thing um and then not only that people are mad because they didn't sing
the national anthem the camera panned across them and they just happen to be sitting there
like you have to sing now at the top of they just happened to be sitting there. Like you have to
sing now at the top of your fucking throat to be considered a real American. Like it's amazing,
but no, there's no snowflakes involved in that assessment of people.
MAGA Chris just put this quote in here. Many of our players were openly hostile to America.
No other country behaved in such a manner or even close, Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Woke equals failure.
Nice shot, Megan.
The U.S. is going to hell.
MAGA.
Going to hell.
Oh, man.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, it's amazing. He save that to his true social favorites yeah we're we'd want to sprinkle denman in here i thought uh yeah denman pop pop in do you know
anything more about this soccer story uh the only good news is uh we save a lot of money on the
female players right don't we pay them less?
Not anymore, my friend.
Equal pay.
It's the best thing Megan Rapinoe has ever done.
Yeah, they pay them more.
They do?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, right?
Equal pay at this point.
And thanks for bringing me in on the Trump story as a certified maggot.
I can speak to your thoughts. on the Trump story as a certified maggot.
I can speak to his thoughts.
I added in a way to protect you that you should look it up,
but I knew you didn't have to look it up at all.
You'd already saved it. Thanks. I appreciate it.
You guys are really chugging along.
Way to pull me in, hour 20 in. Thank you.
Oh, my God. Are we at an hour 20?
Let's move this shit along we gotta go
hey great seeing you guys okay okay no story section new section
international uh this was greg's story he put in last week.
Barely was his title.
Okay.
A zoo in eastern China has denied suggestions that its bears are in fact people dressed in costumes.
After a video of one standing like a human went viral on social media,
of one standing like a human went viral on social media. Footage of the Malayan sun bear standing on its hind legs sparked speculation on the Chinese internet over the weekend, but the zoo in the
eastern province of Zhejiang insisted it really is a bear, just a little smaller and different
to the ones we're used to. Quote, some people think I stand like a human, and it seems that you don't understand me that much.
Hangoo Zoo wrote on its official social media account
on Sunday from the perspective of the bear in the video,
named Angela.
Is a Chinese bear really named Angela?
Previously, some tourists thought
that I was too tiny to be a bear.
I have to emphasize again, I am a Malayan sun bear, not a black bear, not a dog, a sun bear.
Huh?
And Dennis, everyone knows that it wouldn't be a bear, Asians or foxes, because they're all sneaky?
That's not my joke. i think that is that's
terrible and i told you i just i go with the punches i have nothing written down all i was
going to say is as an actor on strike who has a little bit of body hair um i might have a job
opportunities over at the uh hangzoo zoo in the aranatang how do you say that
zoo zoo in the aranatang how do you say that aranatang aranatang aranatang
what's your aranatang joke oh i would say i was playing paddle tennis with my friend rabbi
uh who's tan because he's middle eastern and he takes his shirt off and he gets a tan and so i figured i'd try it because I got these freckles that don't ever want to seem to come together.
And so I take my shirt off and I'm playing and there's a little kid in a playground with his mom.
And he says, Mama, why does that pregnant orangutan serve in volley so much?
That's what the child would want to know is the is the servant volley game, the net game.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's about specifics.
And then I scream, it's part of the game.
All right, should we wrap it up, Sunday Cartoons?
Let's see.
We'll skip this last one.
Oh, yeah.
Chris said that Fitz would have known right away by the feet that it was not an Asian person,
that it was a bear.
Science, this day in history.
Oh, let's do this day in history, paper crinkle.
Okay, follow the Aztec Empire, blah, blah, blah.
I didn't know they nailed that down to a day, but I guess that's one.
But in 1963, do you know the name Dave DeBuscher?
Yes.
So I grew up, we talked about me liking the Knicks.
So I grew up, and they won in, I think, 71 and 73, maybe, or 70 and 73.
And Dave DeBuscher was on that team, and he won two titles.
And he's this amazing basketball player.
And I looked up this day in history, which Greg normally does,
and I found in 1963, Dave DeBuscher pitches a shutout against the Cleveland Indians.
Amazing.
How about that?
He played both professional baseball and professional basketball
and excelled incredibly in both.
In fact, one list has him in the top 50 basketball players of all time.
Yeah, he was down.
He was early on.
I don't know if he would be nowadays with all the new guys, but apparently he was great. I never got to see him play. He was
ahead of my time. But wasn't Bill Bradley also on that team with Phil Bradley? Future Senator
Bill Bradley, of course. Bill Bradley, Phil Jackson, Clyde Walt Frazier, Earl the Pearl,
David Buescher. It was amazing.
And what's his name who came in injured?
Of course, the famous one, the center.
Willis Reed.
Willis Reed.
Now –
Bradley from Princeton, Crystal City.
I'm trying to see.
I had it open where they list the third.
I think there's 13 guys.
I was wondering how many you can name that have played both professional baseball.
Here it is.
13 athletes have played in both the NBA and MLB.
Can you name some of them?
No, no.
I could do NFL and MLB.
But baseball, no.
I'd go Dave DeBuscher, Chuck Conner.
Yeah.
The Rifleman.
Did he really?
Yeah, he was an actor.
Danny Ainge.
Thanks.
That's one I knew, Chris.
Just chime in.
Let's get some more.
Sprinkle more Chris in here unless he's Googling.
Yeah, I don't know. That's a tough one mlb and nba i would say like did winfield know he was a great athlete
who do we got no so so this is nba and mlb yeah yeah oh i have the list right here it's probably
all back whatever ever they were all like plumbers in the offseason too, right? Like this can't be modern times.
Danny Ainge was one for sure.
He's probably the most recent, right?
Oh, yeah.
NFL, Patrick – no, not Patrick.
Elway.
Elway had an offer from the New York Yankees, but he turned it down.
Yeah.
And then, of course, there's –
But that's football baseball.
Yeah, football baseball.
We've got Deion Sanders, Bo Jackson.
What's his name?
Jordan, who played both football and baseball.
Brian Jordan played right field for the Cardinals.
Yeah.
He also had –
Yeah.
Charlie, the Heisman Trophy winner.
Yep.
Charlie Ward,
point guard for the Knicks.
Charlie Ward.
Yep.
Yeah, Drew,
a guy named Drew Henson
played, I think,
for Michigan
and then,
what, he'd go to the Cowboys
and played for Yankees?
Cowboys, yeah.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Hmm.
All right.
Interesting.
Sports talk.
Let's hear the list.
Oh, there's a lot of no-names.
The list of NFL.
The list of NFL and baseball.
Killer list, Govans.
Sorry.
Like all people no one's ever heard of.
Frank Baumholz, Hank Biasotti, Gene Conley, Chuck Connors,
Dick Grote, Steve Hamilton, Mark Hendrickson, Cotton Nash, Ron Reed, Don Ricketts, and Howie Schultz.
Edit that out.
You asked for it.
Again, thank you for pulling me in.
Letters to the editor.
Mike, you want me to read these?
Yeah.
Sure.
Let me spot you on this one, buddy.
I'm dying over here.
He's fading fast.
The closet's losing air.
I'm sweating.
Look at me.
Letters to the editor.
Hey, Greg.
Number one, on last week's Sunday Papers, you mentioned Paul Anka's large body of work,
including I Love You Baby, and then you started to sing.
But the song you warbled was Can't Take My Eyes Off You by Bob Gaudio of the Four Seasons,
who wrote basically all of their songs.
Quick piece of trivia, Paul Anka's son-in-law is?
Jason Bateman.
I knew that.
Yeah, smartless.
I did not know that.
Everybody knows it now.
I bet it was interesting previously, but great
letter. Number two, a
liger is an actual creature
across between a male lion and a
female tiger. The other way around would
be a tyan. Like all
interspecies offspring, you paying
attention? These
animals are sterile.
Okay.
Ooh.
Remember that.
The same is true for mule.
They're down to party.
A cross between a male donkey
and a female horse.
This reverse pairing
is called a henny.
Just thought you'd like to know.
Your pal, Rick Schwartz.
Rick Schwartz coming through.
Thanks, Rick.
So interspecies are...
Interspecies are sterile?
Yeah, that's a thing.
And I guess it is a different species.
They're all big cats, though.
If you've seen those, the Napoleon Dynamite thing is what kind of made them popular.
But if you look them up, those ligers are freaky looking, and they don't look healthy.
I would not have guessed they were. I guess it's like a donkey.
I would not have guessed they're sterile.
And now I'm going to get a correction.
Maybe it's a mule.
I don't know which one I'm talking about.
Oh, brother.
The Midwest is going to be a big ride in.
But I'm surprised that they're like, are different species.
So those are big cats, right?
But they're different cats.
It's almost like if two different dogs, those are all virile and whatever.
They're not sterile.
If Fitz was here, he would give us a fake reason why it could happen, right?
Yeah.
I don't know the actual term, but yeah, it's like they work this way, but they're not going to come back the other happen, right? Yeah. I don't know the actual term,
but yeah, it's like they work this way,
but they're not going to come back the other way, right?
Like they're in their own lanes.
Right, but a labradoodle is not shooting blanks.
That's my point. Correct.
So he can still get you pregnant, Mike.
Yeah.
Here's a question.
This is in the letters from earlier.
I'm curious if you'll actually do this.
Are you guys going to take the guy up on his offer
for matching the winning
prize did you say that for sure
I don't know and I don't think we can
say because oh thank god
my computer's only 9%
I don't
think we can say because it might
completely screw the guy
who won it you know what i mean now there's two
but if they're paying the same price maybe it works out i don't know it's kind of what if he
pays 100 bucks out yet maybe he could pay us just to play with us i was going to say it's pretty
easy to find penmar and chances are you could probably just tag along if you show up in finnish
are you could probably just tag along if you show up in Venice.
Lots of times we have that fifth spot.
Don't tell them that would be $16 versus $4,000 whatever.
And make sure you play the ball up.
All right.
Here's one more. This seems like you could actually help somebody out here, Mike.
And I know you're big on that.
Could you please, please in your next podcast uh
number one spell the name of the offer author that bike repeatedly lauded your book club book author
speaking to oh yeah number two provide the name of her book looking up and kind which it sounded
like to me is yielding nothing in my library system and Google listen multiple times thinking they could not reference and withhold,
but could and did.
This is not petty correction stuff.
This was flagrant.
That's from Margaret.
Shout out to Margaret.
So it's not an kind it's ant kind,
A N T K I N D.
And it's the famous Oscar winning. Charlie Kaufman is the author. And it's the famous Oscar winning Charlie Kaufman is the author.
And it's all one word. Antkind is one word.
Antkind is one word. Charlie Kaufman, two words. And it's very much like Ignatius Riley
from Confederacy of Dunces. It's great. It's great.
All right.
Thank you, Margaret.
Sorry about the confusion.
I'm surprised you couldn't have figured it out, though.
You were so close with and kind.
If you Google book right now,
I'm going to Google and kind novel.
I bet it doesn't come up.
She's right. Let's see. Nope. It doesn't come up. She's right. Let's see. Nope, doesn't come up.
I hate to rub it in her face, but I just typed an and kind book and a ant kind on Amazon.
It's the first thing that comes up.
There you go, Margaret. Maybe not as flagrant as you thought.
We've lost a Denman fan, Gubbins.
Maybe not as flagrant as you thought.
We've lost a Denman fan, Gubbins.
Okay, someone talked about merch, but I'm running out of steam here.
Beer koozies.
Oh, that's from last week.
We like beer koozies.
Okay, good.
Okay, obituary, Dennis.
Take it away.
You've met the man in person.
I have not.
And that's all, folks.
All right.
This is a sad one.
I've met this man once.
Been a fan for, geez, 30-something years probably.
An all-time great musician, songwriter.
Robbie Robertson, 80, dies. Canadian songwriter, captured American spirit. As the chief songwriter and guitar robertson 80 dies canadian songwriter captured american spirit
as the chief songwriter and guitarist for the band that's the name of the band the band he offered a
rustic vision of his adopted country that helped inspire the genre that came to be known as
americana quote i wanted to write music that felt like it could have been written 50 years ago, tomorrow, yesterday,
that had this lost-in-time quality, Mr. Robertson said in a 1995 interview for the public television series Shakespeare's in the Alley.
The lofty stature of the band was further burnished by their participation in several seminal events in the history of Bob Dylan.
seminal events in the history of Bob Dylan. They served as his backing group during the historic 1965-66 tour that found him going electric to the horror of folk music fundamentalists who booed
his move away from his original acoustic style. When people boo, oh this is a quote,
when people boo you night after night it can affect your confidence, Mr. Robertson told The Guardian.
But he added, we didn't budge.
The more they booed, the louder we got.
In Once We're Brothers, which is a fantastic documentary about the band, Dylan called the group gallant knights for sticking with him.
And then I just abbreviated.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And he lived here in Los Angeles.
And, yeah, really sad because I know someone extremely close to him
who was very affected by his passing.
And also, if you have not –
Go ahead.
If you haven't seen the documentary Martin Scorsese made,
well, you've talked about it before, Mike.
Wasn't it kind of like at a point in Scorsese's career
when he didn't have a hit, he didn't have movies going
or something like a lull in his career?
I didn't know that.
I do know Scorsese, a little known
or a lesser known fact about him is
he worked on Woodstock, the movie.
But anyway, The Last Waltz is easily
one of the best music documentaries.
And I put this in, I thought this was interesting. So he was born Jamie Royal Robertson on July 5th,
1943 in Toronto. His mother, Rosemary Dolly Chrysler, was a Mohawk who had been raised on
the Six Nations Reserve near Toronto. His father, James Robertson, was a factory worker.
Rock and roll suddenly hit me when I was 13 years old, he told Classic Rock Magazine in 2019.
That was it for me. Within a few weeks, I was in my first band. Around that same time,
his parents separated, and his mother told him that his biological father was
a Jewish professional gambler named Alexander David Cleggerman who had been
killed in a hit-and-run accident before she met James Robertson in his memoir
testimony mr. Robertson Riley commented on his Indian and Jewish heritage you
could say I'm an expert when it comes to persecution, he wrote.
I never knew that about him.
Wow, me neither.
No, my friend told me that Testimony is one of the best biographies he's ever written or ever read.
And he reads a lot of rock and roll people's biographies and such.
So I definitely want to read that.
Yeah, he was a fascinating guy.
And like the soundtrack stuff with Scorsese was amazing and yeah yeah and this americana thing it's amazing that americana
was one of the founding sort of fathers of it uh is canadian and the whole band von helm is from
canada and they write songs from the perspective of like people fighting in the civil war. Yeah.
Pretty incredible.
Also, there's another person that we lost who I think you know of,
but maybe a lot of people don't know. And his name is Rodriguez.
And he died a couple days ago at the age of 80.
And here's another documentary.
Write these down.
The Last Waltz, of course.
But this one is called Searching for Sugarman,
which is a fascinating
documentary about this guy, Rodriguez, who made a couple albums in the similar genre as Bob Dylan
and the band back in the 60s and 70s. Made a couple albums, fell on hard times, never had the success,
became homeless. Anyway, long story short, in South Africa, somebody found one of his albums, played
it. And no joke, gives me chills, quote unquote, his music was the soundtrack to these kids' youth.
Like they grew up listening to albums of this guy, thinking he was dead. And then this documentary,
they search for him, they find him, and it's incredible. So watch that one too.
It's a great documentary. I can't remember
if it won or not, but I remember him being at the Oscars, I think. Yeah. Yeah. It was up there. It
was so amazing. And his music is haunting. And I was just playing it last week for my family when
I was in Wisconsin. I have it on a playlist of mine on spotify you might want to
follow me there d gubs uh if you'll remember some time ago i came up with an idea for first
tracks first uh and you guys discussed it on the podcast without me and chastised me
for leaving things off of it when it was a work in progress fitzy that was the worst list you didn't even follow your own rules some of the rules had to be broken oh jesus
okay all right do we even want to do funnies greg no it's only good with you and fitzy
i'll get mad about blondie but not as much and i and i don't even think these are new blondies but
i left them in because i don't think you read this one last week.
But anyway, all right, gubbins, look at us.
Oh, that's it.

God damn that death toll keeps rising, keeps doubling.
Yeah, yeah, I read. Yeah, yeah, it's awful. I also haven't read why, how it could happen,
