Starting point is 00:03:54 icon. So far we've done. Einstein, Urkel, Miss Piggy, with Jamie Loftus, Arnold Schwarzenegger with John Gabris. Look for episodes on Monday with Icon in the title. It is Wednesday, December 10th, 2025. My name's Jack O'Brien, aka Potato's O'Brien. And I'm thrilled to be joined in our second seat by today's special guest co-host, a hilarious and brilliant producer, TV writer. You know him from the Yoseless Racist podcast. It's Andrew T. Oh, shit. I forgot to come up with an A.K.A. I, listen, I'm just slowly poisoning Miles so that I get to be here and care for him. I don't remember the plot of Phantom Thread, but it's vaguely that. Oh, it was with mushrooms? Something like that. I don't know. Anyway, I'm poisoning his ass. Here I am. Yeah. Welcome. It's great to have you here. Yeah, Miles is a little under the weather after Andrew's, Andrew's prolonged poisoning strategy.
Starting point is 00:04:51 I know. Do I not, yeah, do I, do I not reveal information like this? Do we, is it, does Miles not like being seen as weak? Yeah, my Miles, I've never been sick one day in my life, okay? Yeah, Miles is out on assignment. He's reporting. He's doing some deep cover, undercover journalism for us. Andrew, we're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a hilarious TV writer and podcast superstar who hosts one of the great podcast. I said no gifts. It's Bridger Wininger! Oh, you too.
Starting point is 00:05:27 So nice to see you, too. Wow, it's great to be seen by you. Great to have you back. You switched on radio voice. That's so lovely. That's right. It got so resonant. Andrew, stand up a little bit.
Starting point is 00:05:40 I just saw your shirt. Oh, oh. Kirkland's signature. That's right. Gorgeous. That's right. This was not easy, not as easy to get as it should be.
Starting point is 00:05:52 This Kirkland signature shirt was sold out immediately from stores, and my coworker at the time found one at a Costco in the Valley. I want to say like Van Nuys, wherever that one is. And she texted me immediately, not even saying, do you want this, saying, I already got you one. That's a good friend. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:13 So when they sell these, do people line up and then? I think they, I think that not many of them make it to the stores. It's typically online only. Costco drop. A friend of ours, our mutual friend, Jessica Gao, is the queen of Costco. And so she put me on, not put me on. Is it weird to pretend like someone told me about Costco? No, but she is an advocate and she's kind of an ambassador.
Starting point is 00:06:42 She's an influencer. Yeah. So, yeah, she put me onto the idea that wearing all Kirkland gear is cool. Yeah. And she was right. And you come by it honestly. You are an actual shopper at Costco. You partaking the chicken bake and the food court and all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Oh, my God. I've only had one chicken bake in my life. Holy shit, that is the best food. Sorry, this is really Bridger's time. I've never had the chicken bake. I've, it's embarrassing. It's so good. I've never had it either.
Starting point is 00:07:13 I've had the pizza. I like the Supreme Pizza there. I like, it's just so cheesy. So, so much shit on there. In two seconds, the chicken bake is pizza dough filled with Caesar salad, hot Caesar salad dressing and, like, cubed the chicken, the leftover chicken. It's basically like, their Caesar salad, like, pre-made Caesar salad pack minus the lettuce plus pizza dough plus cubed chicken meat. My mouth is straight up watering right now. And cheese, like what's giving it the viscosity?
Starting point is 00:07:49 Because that sounds dry as hell. It's, no, it's, well, the dressing. Oh, the dressing. The Caesar dressing. It's like so much. Yeah, it's like a bucket of Caesar dressing. Okay. It's so much.
Starting point is 00:08:00 It's, it is easily the highest calorie menu, maybe in the whole building. In a building of incredibly calorie dense food. Yeah. Yeah. It's crazy pants. And then the viral thing that kids were doing, which I do agree with. It was pretty good when I tried it. It was taking the glizzy.
Starting point is 00:08:19 also getting a glizzy and just, like, biting the top off of the chicken bake and then just jamming the glizzy up in there. Oh, Jesus. It's kind, it's obviously insane, but it does work. I'm here for it. Why does it need more? I know. I mean, that, that, though, is if you start asking yourself that question, Costco's like
Starting point is 00:08:41 entire house of cards really crumbles. Falls to the ground. Bridger, we're thrilled to have you here. We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell the listeners, a couple of things we're talking about. We've got an update on Katie Miller, Stephen Miller's wife,
Starting point is 00:08:56 who is just an all-around piece of work to really come into her own since Teenage Mutant Ninja Gerbils got back into the White House, started a shitty podcast and accused people of launching terroristic threats against her family. We're going to look at what the police
Starting point is 00:09:17 think of those terroristic threats there. terroristic threats by way of colorful chalk writing on a pavement, the favorite method of terrorizing people of terrorists. We're going to check in with Las Vegas. The tourism numbers are down, and you'll never guess who's entered Las Vegas. It's private equity. Always good news. We'll check it with our favorite couple Liam Neeson and Pam Anderson, a couple more, But we did get some good details about what their brief time together was like. And then we will talk about a new trend in capitalist worker squeezing, which is that they don't want you to poop. And they're trying to make a no pooping on company time movement happen.
Starting point is 00:10:04 All of that, plenty more. But first, Bridger, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? The most recent thing I searched this morning was Jen Shaw Outwin. And Jenshaw out went. Are you going to meet her there at the prison? Like in Ocean's 11. Yeah, you'll be leaning against a car smoking a cigarette. It's very Ocean's 11.
Starting point is 00:10:29 We're going to pull a high school. No, I, yeah, I was wondering, and it's actually tomorrow, strangely enough. Wow. I mean, she's counting down the hours. Yeah, December 10th. Today is Jenshaw Day for all who celebrate. Yes, she's ready to go. Nice.
Starting point is 00:10:49 Are you, so you're a fan, I'm assuming? Yes, I, um, you could say that. Come on. Come on, boys. No, I'm from Salt Lake City, and I've started for better or worse, recapping the show for my podcast. And so it's a, you know, I have to be on top of this sort of thing. But I've followed the whole journey. And I'm just so curious as to what this woman's life is going to be from here on out,
Starting point is 00:11:16 because she, like, ruined thousands of people's lives. And the idea of her actually not being a, I mean, she must be a psychopath. I can't imagine her behaviors really changed. But maybe, I mean, this could be a whole, a new thing that shows me hope and humanity. Who knows? Yeah, she comes back, completely reformed, part of the nation of Islam and just goes into helping people around Salt Lake City. Right. what what exactly did she get caught doing was it like a Ponzi scheme
Starting point is 00:11:47 it was a um no they were like contacting mostly senior citizens and like telling that they could like launch businesses and then emptying their bank accounts essentially nice oh wow yeah i'm on i'm on her wikipedia page which really charmingly just describes this as legal issues like she got pulled over for speed yeah and then and that goes into wire fraud and money laundering in connection with a telemarketing scheme which is pretty rough. So this happened
Starting point is 00:12:20 as she was joining Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, right? Like she became a star on that show and were people like kind of putting it together based on what she was doing on that show or like was the spotlight? Did that have anything to do with her getting caught? I think the spotlight must have had something to do with it, which is why I think she must be a true psychopath
Starting point is 00:12:40 because she had been doing this for a long time and obviously thought she was never going to get caught. She felt like she could be the star of a TV show and never, I mean, she was right, I mean, like the amount of money she seemed to have never made sense with what the job she was talking about. It was all just very unclear. But I can't imagine that like law enforcement
Starting point is 00:13:01 was watching the show and then put it together. Right. Although, I mean, that'd be incredible. I do have this little question. Sorry, I'm still on the Wikipedia. because the scam was like just this version of like business coaching like we're gonna we're gonna build like a business
Starting point is 00:13:15 website for you I guess it's the draining bank accounts part that's like not so good I'm just like all this stuff is a scam anyway so I'm just like yeah what is the line between this and every other capitalist enterprise that praise on the elderly like
Starting point is 00:13:30 I may be just poisoned in that regard I had a Richard do you has the recent uptick in like I guess Mormon shit in pop culture. Does that instill you with any, like, home town? Like, are these the SLC celebs that, like, you've been waiting for? These are the people I want representing me in my culture, for sure. No, it's been a very confusing thing for me, because especially with, like, the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, initially I found the show so boring because I was just like,
Starting point is 00:14:03 these are essentially women I went to high school with. I don't understand why this is so interesting people. But then, like, I got into the rhythm of it and then I realized, oh, yeah, this must be so exotic. It's often I'm like, I feel like I immigrated from another country where I'm like, the culture of Utah is so far removed from what the majority of Americans experience. Yeah. So I can see why it's like people are like, what are they doing? Why do they do any of this? And it's not just like gawk, like the Stanley Cups like came from the like those reality shows like that that whole trend like came from that so people aren't just like pointing and laughing people are like it's like aspirational for people to like look at these people's lives and i i think
Starting point is 00:14:47 dirty sprite also came from there i don't have the dirty sodas dirty sodas probably not the probably not the one that didn't come from there is dirty sprite actually did they get the idea from future what if instead of like having the permacency like the cough syrup in there, we put flavored coconut milk syrup. I mean, there is like a world where they're just like, we can safely co-op these trends, as, you know, until it gets
Starting point is 00:15:18 outside of Salt Lake City, basically. Because like, you know, people aren't supposed to know about this other shit. We can be our own culture and take, you know, if you borrow some words, whatever, who cares. Right. Just kind of integrate them in. So, yeah. Yeah. But I think Mormons,
Starting point is 00:15:34 I mean, at least since blogging began, And weirdly, Mormon women have been very influential on culture. Yeah. This bizarre. Oh, sure. Because, yeah, it's so aspirational because their lives, at least in photos or good recipes look wonderful. Yeah, yeah. Right.
Starting point is 00:15:52 The casserole culture. Right. Exactly. Is there anything that, so you grew up in Salt Lake City? Yes, yeah. Is there anything that stands out to you that, like, you thought was normal? And then you, like, got outside of Salt Lake City. and you're like, oh, that's very particular to where I grew up?
Starting point is 00:16:10 I was thinking about this recently. I was thinking about, like, all of the teachers through my public education in the morning would be drinking Diet Coke. And it occurred to me recently, like, people in other states or other cities, probably their teachers, like, they probably smelled coffee in the school or whatever. Oh, yeah. All my teachers smelled like coffee all the time. Right.
Starting point is 00:16:30 And that just was, I mean, that maybe one in 50 teachers might have had coffee. but I can't remember any of them. So you would see a can of Diet Coke at 7.30 in the morning. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I used to, my first job out of college after being a pool boy was at ABC News. And I worked on the same floor as Diane Sawyer. And she would house Diet Coke.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Like, she was up for Good Morning America at like four in the morning. She would go through like a six pack by the time like I was walking into the office. It was fucking crazy. Which is just peeing all the time. It just feels so inefficient. Doesn't that seem terrible? Doesn't that seem like a terrible way to get your caffeine? Bridger, what's something you think is underrated?
Starting point is 00:17:17 Do you know what I was thinking about was buying rocks? I don't know if you've ever had to buy rocks, but recently I had to buy some rocks, and the experience was incredible. It was so, every element of it was so not what I expected. I had to go to like a landscape supply center. and it felt so far removed from L.A. The two people just knew about landscape, like they knew about rocks and dirt. They didn't, uh, and then I bought a pound of, uh, or 75 pounds of rocks.
Starting point is 00:17:47 It costs $20. Wow. I mean, I did. I would have assumed that's like $150. 25 pounds of anything for $20 is an amazing deal. So it just felt great to be like walking away with this thing I could barely carry. And it's, I had spent $20. on it. And they knew, you know, they knew about every type of rocks. It was just very
Starting point is 00:18:09 similar. What kind of rock, though? What are we talking? These were, well, of course I got the absolute just cheapest rocks, but I had to buy some, I was looking for white rocks because our dog has been eating all of the dirt in our houseplants. So I was like, I'm trying to cover it with rocks, but they didn't have entire. So they're kind of like a beige, sandy colored rock that are each about the size of a large potato. Okay, right, right. Because I couldn't, we didn't want rocks that she could swallow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or even take up in her mouth.
Starting point is 00:18:39 Now that you've bought just plain-ass rocks, do you ever like now walk around and just like, that's like the quarter right there? There's free money everywhere. I finally found my way out of the showbiz business. No, I really, I would recommend buying rocks. It's very nice. You find a nice local landscape store. and go buy yourself some rocks. There you go.
Starting point is 00:19:08 $75, or 75 pounds for $25. Can you imagine? I can't. That seems wrong to me. I know. I was like, well, this doesn't add up in any way.
Starting point is 00:19:18 They could have charged me whatever they wanted. Right. I feel like that at that point, you're almost like paying people to just like take them out of there. You're just like, that's so heavy.
Starting point is 00:19:28 Could you like just get this out of here? We'll give you half off. Just like, please get these rocks the fuck out of our, out of our rock store. more like a gym situation. Yeah. Did I ever tell you guys about my, when I lived in Brooklyn, like many, many, many years ago,
Starting point is 00:19:42 my idea for a gym, which was just a warehouse with a huge, huge, like, 40-foot-tall pile of sand in the middle of it. And for $50 a month, you could climb the pile, and for $50 or for $50 a month, you could punch the pile, and for $75, you could climb or punch it. And that's the only rules of the gym. Was there any, what about, like, moving the sand into a different hill of sand? Oh, you're talking about a different level of membership there. That's really, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:10 Oh, you want to go to the help build the second pile? Now you're talking about luxury membership. I just wanted to build a gym that was an enormous pile of sand in a Brooklyn warehouse, which I guess doesn't really exist. The most difficult thing to attain about that now would be the Brooklyn Warehouse that you can expand it. That's right. You got to move elsewhere, man. Harlem Warehouse.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Yeah. What's something, Bridger, you think, is overrated? Paper towels. Mm-hmm. Huge waste of time and money. My boyfriend insists on buying paper towels, and I refuse to use them. I use napkins I've collected from takeout or microfiber cloths. Okay. I've bought a bunch of those.
Starting point is 00:20:55 Why anyone buys a paper towel? It makes no sense to me whatsoever. Again, napkins, they're just fucking given away for free. Exactly. Exactly. They're kind of the rocks of food. You've got a nose for deals. We have so many free napkins. We have drawers just stuffed with free napkins and free.
Starting point is 00:21:17 I love hearing. Because I have a drawer that is just chaos. You open it. Unfortunately, I had to open it in front of company recently. And I was like, oh, this is actually interesting. It's interesting. When we said, like, people over for Thanksgiving and, like, we're putting out the dessert. And we're like, here's a domino's napkin from.
Starting point is 00:21:33 four years ago. Chipotle napkins just pouring out Jersey mics. Right. Not the best, but so much smarter. I've done the dumber thing, and I basically just use paper towels as napkins, which is
Starting point is 00:21:47 so much worse. Oh, the Queen of England over here. Yeah, exactly. Well, I do, I do get them at Costco, so they are a little cheaper. You ever get a bad roll of paper towels that doesn't tear right?
Starting point is 00:22:02 And like the things are just like coming apart. Oh, yeah. I've gotten some, yeah. Paper towels and plastic wrap. When I buy those, I buy the cheapest version, and then it's just even harder. It makes my life so much harder.
Starting point is 00:22:16 Yeah, and you tell yourself you hate them. But then if you spend too much, then you become addicted. Listen, there's two paths, and you're both pretty bad. You got to be in the middle ground. The golden handcuffs of bounty, you know? When you, like, get that bounty, you're like, oh, God. This thing's like a non-Newtonian stuff.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Like, this thing shouldn't exist in nature, whereas the other one's just, yeah. Like, it's got the serrated lines, but then, like, you tear it and it just, like, won't tear along those lines. It's like, what the fucking scum on here? Yeah. Yeah. It's just a lot of, like, triangular ripped half thing. Oh, do you see a square's paper towel without a clean rip?
Starting point is 00:22:54 It's just not a good sight. Humiliating. It's humiliating as well. I love, I love the institutional paper towel role that doesn't even. pretend to have perforations, just big, like, 500-foot-long roll. Yeah, the one that's like, yeah, it's meant to be in a, like, dispenser that has the ripping mechanism on it, but, yeah, yeah. And so it's just, yeah, it's just like a big sheet of, like, vertically on top of the thing that is broken. Yeah. And then you, like, unwind it slowly.
Starting point is 00:23:25 It's like an elementary school art teacher's role of paper that goes next to the big slicer thing. Yeah, that's what we use to dry our hands in my household. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll get into some news. We'll be right back. If a Lenovo gaming computer is on your holiday list, don't shop around.

Starting point is 00:25:42 Listen to Crimless on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Dad had the strong belief that the devil was attacking us. Two brothers. One devout household. Two radically different paths. Gabe Ortiz became one of the highest-ranking law enforcement officers in Texas. 32 years, total law enforcement experience. But his brother Larry, he stayed behind and built an entirely different legacy.
Starting point is 00:26:10 He was the head of this gang, and nobody was going to tell him what to do. You're going to push that line for the calls. Took us under his wing and showed us the game, as they call it. When Larry is murdered, Gabe is forced to confront the past he tried to leave behind and uncover secrets he never saw coming. My dad had a whole other life that we never knew about. Like, my mom started screaming my dad's name, and I just heard one gunshot. The Brothers Ortiz is a gripping true story about faith, family,
Starting point is 00:26:41 and how two lives can drift so far apart and collide in the most devastating way. Listen to the Brothers Ortiz on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. and we're back and how much you guys up on katie miller what interestingly i uh was not aware that she was stepan miller's wife i didn't know he oh had ever had any relationship with another human being doesn't that seem strange doesn't it their children like yeah you can't imagine that man reproducing it's it's very Not sexually. I assume like a sort of a budding process or like some sort of
Starting point is 00:27:29 being like regurgitating another version of himself out of his mouth. Yeah. That is very vivid to me. But every other version of human reproduction, not. I can't see it. No, absolutely. There's a wild clip where like his wife went on the Jesse Waters show. And Jesse Waters is like, you know, doing a host of Waters world.
Starting point is 00:27:49 All comedy's world. He's doing like a poor man's version of Don Draper. Like he watched Mad Men. was like, this, this is it. This is what I'm doing for the rest of my life. And he has her on, and he's like, and you're, of course, married to the sexual Matador. And, oh, we don't know what that meant,
Starting point is 00:28:10 but they both started laughing so hard that it was like, wait, what? She thinks it's a joke. It's like a mega. Oh, well, or it's like a mega inside joke. I guess. But it also seemed like they were fucking. like was what was the impression that she and jesse were yeah that she and jesse were because like they
Starting point is 00:28:29 had like a very warm energy as they talked about her husband being a sexual matador which feels like feels like it could be an inside joke between people like yeah people who are cheating on their spouse being like yeah every time you try to have sex with him he's like whoop out of the And then they laughed way too hard about that. But yeah, so she has started a shitty podcast where she just, like, shows off complete lack of conversation skills. She's made some really memorable appearances on debate shows where she's so easily frazzled. It feels like she's engaging in self-harm by even, like, appearing on the panel.
Starting point is 00:29:13 There's one where, like, the person just, like, won an, argument with her. And rather than just like, you know, you don't, it's not like they were like, winner or anything like that. You just move on to the next thing. But instead, she just started screaming that she was going to have them deport it. She was like, you better get your papers in line. It was like, really, she just went full villain, movie villain, like right away. What's the content of her podcast? It's just that, hopefully. Yeah, it's just her talking to people about how they're going to deport them. Yeah. having people
Starting point is 00:29:48 they say something like nice but not quite nice enough and she's like you better get your fucking papers in order called you better get your fucking papers
Starting point is 00:29:57 in order with Katie Miller every guest is just dragged of ice screen but she's also done a really good job of pretending
Starting point is 00:30:06 that her family is a victim of I guess like anything so when people in their Arlington neighborhood were like
Starting point is 00:30:13 get this human trash the fuck out of here kind of Like, not really. They protested in the most gentle way that somebody could protest while, you know, saying the truth. They wrote, Miller is praying on families. Not, not like on their house.
Starting point is 00:30:29 They wrote it on the sidewalk of their street in really nice, like, light-colored chalk. Like, it was like a nice blue. And then, like, it's like very Easter egg colors. I mean, it is kids' chalk. It is the only sidewalk. chalk that really there is, right? Yes. I don't have kids, but it feels like it's always we got that exact test.
Starting point is 00:30:53 It's that or white chalk, you know? Yeah, they don't have like dark jewel tone. Right. And you know the millers really like white chalk. Oh, yeah, of the white chalk. I just, there's something about it. There's something about it that I just prefer. Yeah. But she, so she responded to that by saying people were making
Starting point is 00:31:11 terroristic threats to her and doxing her, and it got so bad. that they had to list their nearly $4 million mansion, which, like, when you think about that, that sucks, you guys. And, like, we're all for pushing back against fascism on this show. But, like, when you have to list your $4 million mansion. You can't be uncomfortable. That sounds so hard. I know.
Starting point is 00:31:34 But think about all the new rocks they have to buy now for their new mansion. Yeah, exactly. But we got the police report about the protests. And the analysis by the police, who again, Don't, they're not fully against overdoing it to protect people who live in $4 million at the homes. That's kind of the police thing, but this Arlington police report kind of undermines her characterization of the protests. They said the messages were non-threatening and alluded to political issues such as immigration, transgender rights, DEI, and white supremacy. Arlington County Police, welcome to the resistance.
Starting point is 00:32:14 That's right. acab for the next 20 minutes no longer includes you. Yeah, so that's just a quick check-in with them. We do like to... The saddest, weakest people. These people also are like white people are the supreme...
Starting point is 00:32:34 The master race is really struggling, I guess, is what I'm saying. Oh, really having a top time. It's hard, Andrew. We're having a hard time, okay? We have to find neighborhoods without sidewalks. It's very difficult. That's right.
Starting point is 00:32:47 Do you think, does the handwriting in this, I guess this is a podcast, but the handwriting in this still from the, from Katie Miller is like so neat that it has that kind of like she drew it herself. Right. Like the Black's rule. The Blacks rule from the Black Clause Matter protests
Starting point is 00:33:08 that was clearly written by a Trump supporter. Yeah. Or the woman who, I just think they would have gone more over the top if. they had done it themselves. Right. If they were writing it. There's that young woman from New Jersey who recently got caught claiming that she had been like zip tied and like had Trump whore carved into her back, I think. And then it was revealed, her case fell apart when it was revealed that her accomplice who had like found her and taken the pictures of her to share with police had recently Googled where to find zip ties.
Starting point is 00:33:45 And they were like, oh, okay. And then that she had recently Googled scarification expert. So scarification expert. Yeah. I mean, she reached out to somebody to do the cuts for. To actually doing it. I mean, the girl that did the, had the backwards B on her face for Barack and like a fake black eye. I'm just saying, at least, at least this person.
Starting point is 00:34:12 Yeah. They're making progress. Yeah. All right. Are you guys Vegas people at all? You ever go to Vegas? Absolutely not. I mean, there is literally, there is literally the, like, the, like, highway, like, exit, I guess,
Starting point is 00:34:32 or the split on the way going to Vegas. I just literally like Vegas or Salt Lake City. Like, you could make your choice right. Who are you? Who are you? In America. I'll just say yes. and everyone who's listened to this podcast with me on before probably already knows that.
Starting point is 00:34:48 Yeah. So I was there recently. There's a new Slade article about the somewhat of a vibe shift happening in Vegas where a lot of the stuff, like they interview a lot of people in Las Vegas who were like, you used to get a steak this thick for $6. And now, like, those days are all gone. And the numbers are not promising. The hotel occupancy is cratered.
Starting point is 00:35:13 flights to Vegas have cratered nobody from Canada. Like, Canada used to be a large portion of the tourism in Vegas. It's so surprising to me that Canada needed to come down. Canadians don't seem like Vegas people. Yeah. Oh, there's plenty of garbage people in Canada. I was at a poker table with someone from Montreal, and it reminded me that some of them really are Vegas people. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:43 You just find that it's just because you haven't been to Vegas. So you haven't met the Canadian Vegas people. Too much. You're just not. Okay. That's where the no. Yeah. Absolutely not.
Starting point is 00:35:56 There's even an air carrier that like used to fly low cost flights from Edmonton and like other Canadian locations. They've had a 60% drop off in people flying to Las Vegas. So there's like some very straightforward explanations for this, tourism's down nationwide. It's just not as much down as Vegas is. But there's also something that's been happening over the past couple decades that is endemic to America, which is that they were taken over by private equity.
Starting point is 00:36:30 They've been taken over by private equity companies. And the private equity companies are just finding any way that they can to, like, bleed people dry. So, like, all of those, like, free giveaways and things like, that where the idea was like, get people here and then, you know, the gamblers will pay for it. And amazingly, like, as tourism has cratered, gambling profits have gone way up. Like, which it's the exact story of the pandemic. Like, so what they did is they, during the pandemic, not as many people were coming. So they changed the rules of a bunch of the games,
Starting point is 00:37:07 like Blackjack no longer pays out at like 1.5. Now it pays out at like 6.000. to five. Six to five. Yeah. And you're having your notes here. I have a bit on the, not a bit. I have something to say about roulette. Sorry, can you go ahead.
Starting point is 00:37:23 Well, roulette is used to be like one of the better deals that you could get. Like essentially, if you hit, they would pay you out for like as, you know, about the right odds. The only thing that like keeps it from being completely even odds are the green zeros that they have the zero and the double zero. First, it was just one zero, and then they were like, guys, I got a fucking crazy idea, a second zero. And during the pandemic, they had another brainstorm. They were like, triple zero's.
Starting point is 00:37:54 I'm just saying. And so they just keep adding these spots. For the record, triple zeros are like illegal in Europe. Like, if you're a casino operator, you double zero is frowned upon, triple zero is like fully illegal. Yeah. Like, it is such a juicing of the odds towards the house that is like truly disgusting. But yeah. So they do all these things to make gambling more like worse for people, more expensive. And then they do it during the pandemic to be like, we got it. We got to stay afloat. And then they just never take it away. And it's like all of the inflation. Yeah, that's everything. Exactly. That's everything. And even during the pandemic, like all these companies that were supposedly like struggling to stay afloat are reporting record profits. It's just like, what? How are they getting away with this?
Starting point is 00:38:44 Part of it is that gambling is a thing that you can become physically addicted to. Oh, right. Mentally addicted to. Disagree. But like changing the odds, like you might lose some people, but you hit the floor of the whales and the addicts
Starting point is 00:39:01 and they will just pay at whatever odds forever. It's really, really, really sad and gross. It's what we call inelastic. demand, which is what private equity goes around looking for, and they just find anything they can. It really, it feels like, like, we talked about this when they first started doing it during the pandemic, that everything started feeling like airport prices. You know, like, before you would, like, go to an airport, you'd be like, why is this bottle of water $7? Like, that's crazy, but, like, you know, it's because they have you captive. And, like, you can't go anywhere else
Starting point is 00:39:38 to get a bottle of water, and now it's just like the whole capitalist, like, ecosystem is just like, yeah, you can't go anywhere. We're doing this just everywhere. It's just airport prices all the way down, you know? The thing I've noticed is charging for sauce. Have you noticed now if there's a sauce, you have to pay for the sauce? Oh, yeah. It's ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:40:04 Sauce should always be free. Yeah, free sauce. It's helping you sell more food. Yes, I'll buy more of your food if I can dip it in something. Right. Oh, God. Yeah, the vaguest thing is like, I mean, the thing is, it's like, as someone who isn't even particularly a believer in capitalism,
Starting point is 00:40:28 I don't, I truly don't understand why no casino owner has just been like, hey, we're just going to zag what everyone else is zigging and just charge less. for this shit that we already will definitely still be making a profit on. It's really weird to not just be like, hey, this is the casino that you can afford to bring your family.
Starting point is 00:40:51 Bring the kids. Well, I mean, yeah. Or whatever. Or you, the person who might not be in the 1%, there's a market for you. Come to this casino. The only really fun night I've had in Vegas was
Starting point is 00:41:06 that there was a casino that had like a burger king in it and that I think that was it it wasn't like there were no I think you were in a burger king yeah in a burger king was slot machines no it had a Irish theme there were people like little people walking around with like leprechaun costume like it was like the lowest limit like you could play craps and like not lose all your money within 30 minutes and like that's where I like learned to play craps like you could play the whole night. And it was just, I think it was in the basement of like a real casino.
Starting point is 00:41:42 And they're just like, I don't know, let's read it out to them. And they just everything has gone the other direction. Now like all the blackjack tables are $50 minimums. And yeah. I mean, it is the story of like maybe this is just a starker example of how private equity works, but like they literally have no regard for the future. Like even. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:42:03 This is a predatory industry, but let's imagine it sort of wasn't. Like, the way you keep this industry alive is by introducing young people to the fun of gambling. Right. And again, I don't realize as I'm saying this, this is insane, and maybe this is just better in general. But yeah, they're like pruning their next market away forever. You just drive it off a cliff and then find another thing to drive off a cliff. Yeah. That's exactly.
Starting point is 00:42:30 Yeah. So anyway, I mean, there are worse things to be driven off a cliff, I guess. There's plenty, many, many. I know. It's interesting. It's this thing that by nature is like to bleed people dry and they're like, this is not bleeding people dry enough. How do we keep? Right. It's just leave it alone. It's, it was so profitable. We remove the friction of the blood leaving their body. It's a little slow for my taste. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, this is what they've done to like veterinary care. Like the veterinary care industry over the past two decades has been taken over by private equity. And they were like, man, these fucking people will pay anything to keep their pets. And so now they... I just had this happen.
Starting point is 00:43:15 Yeah, everybody is having this happen now. Got the same procedure, basically a year apart, and it was six times more expensive the second time. It was fucking crazy pants. My friend was just banned from her vet because they were charging so much that she got in a fight with them. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Like, they need bouncers at...
Starting point is 00:43:37 you know, vet clinics now. But yeah, so, like, things, like we had a super producer, Anna Hosnia, on yesterday talking about this, she was just there for, like, an F, she was there during an F1 event. So, like, that's, they're still, like, chasing the high end of things, you know?
Starting point is 00:43:54 Yeah. But then things like the Thunder Down Under dance review, the Australian-centric, like Chippendales is going away. You know, that's really struggling. For the record, Magic Mike is a superior. That's exactly what she said. She was like, it's not the worst thing in the world. But everything that is like kind of shitty and like feels like you're in Vegas is going
Starting point is 00:44:18 away. Like the free drinks, like you can get, you can maybe flag down a waitress for a free drink over the course of a night, like at the hotel. They're at the casino. It's really like, yeah, I guess like so clearly like we just want your money right now. in a way that it already was like that, but it's somehow more. This is kind of the ultimate version
Starting point is 00:44:45 of private equity taking something over because it is like the whole formula was already set up. Yeah. Yeah. Tough. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:56 So gambling revenue is up. Everything else is way down. And that's it. There's also this paragraph in there where like you see how this is being described with the people in Vegas, like who make the decisions and have money. Oliver Levat, this is a Slate article, I'll link off to, via the wayback machine.
Starting point is 00:45:14 Oliver Levat, a real estate consultant at the Denston Group, Denstone Group, by the way, Black Rock is one of the private equity companies that is like fully taken over, who serves as an advisor to several Vegas casino properties said I needed to understand that cheaper games are no longer economically prudent in the city. Between inflation, what's causing that? upkeep. And the real villain here, labor costs, including a Nevada minimum wage that jumped to $12 last year, LeVat argued the salad days of low minimum blackjack have been legislated out of the fray. After all, it is telling that no matter how much Vegas tourism declines, the city's gambling
Starting point is 00:45:55 revenue continues to take up. That's not an after all. That's a counter to everything that guy just said everything is like they're still making more and more money and you're complaining about like having to pay people a living wage but also to these fucking business geniuses it's like you need low-cost blackjack players so that they become high like limit blackjack players how do you not know this start that way right yeah yeah it's really really really i mean like like all places that private equity, like they literally have just like goldfish level, these alleged
Starting point is 00:46:35 business geniuses cannot see beyond like a one year horizon. It's right. And this is why. Yeah, like it's the explanation for like why we don't have toy stores in America anymore. It's like they took over toys are us and they have no future, they have no like
Starting point is 00:46:51 sense of the future. All they're doing is extracting as much wealth from the thing as possible and then like discarding it. And they still do great and it doesn't like the system setups where there's like no disincentive for them to do that and so everything's just getting worse except for the yacht sales for people who work in private equity um let's take a quick break we'll come back we'll talk about Liam Neeson and Pam Anderson and pooping at work we'll be right back if a Lenovo gaming

From Smartless Media, Campside Media, and Big Money Players comes Crimeless. Join me, Josh Dean, investigative journalists.

Starting point is 00:48:57 We'll look into some of the silliest ways folks have broken the laws. Honestly, it feels more like a high-level prank than a crime. Who catfishes a city? And meets some memorable anti-heroes. There are thousands of angry, horny monkeys. Clap if you think, she's a witch. And it freaks you out. He has X-ray vision.
Starting point is 00:49:17 How could I not follow him? Honestly, I got to follow him. He can see right through me. Listen to Crimless on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get Your podcasts. Dad had the strong belief that the devil was attacking us. Two brothers, one devout household, two radically different paths. Gabe Ortiz became one of the highest-ranking law enforcement officers in Texas.
Starting point is 00:49:43 32 years, total law enforcement experience. But his brother Larry, he stayed behind and built an entirely different legacy. He was the head of this gang, and nobody was going to tell him what to do. He going to push that line for the cause. Took us under his wing. and showed us the game, as they call it. When Larry is murdered, Gabe is forced to confront the past he tried to leave behind and uncover secrets he never saw coming.
Starting point is 00:50:07 My dad had a whole other life that we never knew about. Like, my mom started screaming my dad's name, and I just heard one gunshot. The Brothers Ortiz is a gripping true story about faith, family, and how two lives can drift so far apart and collide in the most devastating way. Listen to the Brothers Ortiz and the IHeart Radio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts
Starting point is 00:50:31 And we're back. And we're back And I don't know Did you guys have a lot riding on the Liam Nees and Pam Anderson relationship? I knew right from the start that we were put,
Starting point is 00:50:49 the entire country was putting too much weight on this. Oh, the moment fell apart. They should not be responsible for the country's emotional stability. It's like, I mean, it's wild that that Vegas article didn't mention them breaking up as anything as having connection to Las Vegas feeling so depressing lately. I mean, she was just in that last showgirl movie.
Starting point is 00:51:11 True. Very good point. But, yeah, so we hadn't really had confirmation from them. It was just outside rumors. And right as we get the goods, we're also told they're no longer together. Pam Anderson's. said, she spent an intimate week with Liam Neeson at his home
Starting point is 00:51:29 in upstate New York. She referred to this time as their romantic lost week. I had my own room, she revealed. Our assistants both came. Even family stopped by. That's such a weird detail. It seems like a assistant's like rehearsal.
Starting point is 00:51:46 Right. Seems like this might have just been. Also, is she talking about shooting that scene in a cabin? Right. It really feels like a scene from naked gun. She's that exact, the snowman. Yeah. We just found out that...
Starting point is 00:51:59 We found out that Gwendoz Paltrow, like, thought that Tom Holland's name was Peter Parker, and she was like, no, that's... That's that true? Yeah, she was like, that's Peter to Robert Downey Jr. and he was like, no, he's Tom Holland. He plays a character named Peter. You've been in four movies with him. Good for her. And then she also, and this is more a testament to Marty Supreme's makeup work, but she was like to Timothy's chalemite. She was like, you know, I actually have like a skincare thing.
Starting point is 00:52:30 Like I could help you out with all those like pot marks on your face. He was like, I'm, I'm wearing makeup. What are you talking? This almost feels like Pam Anderson like is for a half remembering the scene from the movie. I love this. Yeah. Just be credulous. That's why you're such a good actors. You just believe it forever. She said the two went to a tiny French restaurant where Neeson introduced Anderson as the future Mrs. Neeson. Love it. Okay. At one point,
Starting point is 00:52:58 at one point, she said, Neeson chased off a bear in his bathrobe. There is really no way. It's in that scene. Yeah. There's no way these are not outtakes from that movie. This is just setting up that video that's coming out next week.
Starting point is 00:53:13 She's describing bloopers. Yeah. I always was laughing when people thought, oh, that's a publicity stunt. I'm like, a publicity. stunt. This is real. We have real feelings. And then they were like, so you're still together. It sounds very serious.
Starting point is 00:53:28 The future, Mrs. Neeson, she said, I adore Liam, but we were better friends in all honesty, in full honesty. So she said the last time that they connected was Neeson surprised her by attending her performance in Casino Real at the Williamston Theater Festival. So it sounds
Starting point is 00:53:44 like he's a little bit more smitten than maybe she is. I think this is probably the best way for this to end and just kind of a confusing Petering out where it's just like no one knows what was happening.
Starting point is 00:53:55 Weird lost weekend that she doesn't even really remember. This is great. But we're not as invested at this point. It's like if it had been real then they had broken up,
Starting point is 00:54:06 the world would have been over. We would have all killed ourselves. So this is the best possible situation. That's right. Well, you know, they'll always have that weekend and we'll always have that brief period
Starting point is 00:54:19 of time. That movie of that weekend. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. That amazingly edited footage of their weekend, that home movie. All right. And finally, the New York Post has sparked an online debate after posting an article all about how to make yourself poop in the morning so you don't have to take a shit at work, helpfully posting some of the most unfortunate stock photo models of all time. there's like there's like one
Starting point is 00:54:51 girl just looking dreamily off in the distance with like a toilet in the background and then there's a woman in a leather skirt who's like standing up in a way
Starting point is 00:55:04 that I feel like in her mind she was like this will be used in a Motrin ad and instead they have recontextualized it so it's like
Starting point is 00:55:13 she's holding the shit into her butt as she stands up her work Yeah, and her skirt is like dark brown and kind of a weird color. Yeah, she's like a five-year-old. She's like physically plugging the levy. Right.
Starting point is 00:55:27 Yeah, exactly. We've all been in work meetings where people like, oh, boy, stand up, actually grasping their ass, pushing it together. But they also reported that one in three Gen Z workers are too scared to use the office bathroom. And this is just an overall issue, like an Australian. health department had to launch a social media campaign in 2024, being like, it's okay to poop at work, guys, like with dolphins and rainbows in the background. But in America, I feel like everyone's like, I'm doing something bad. I'm wasting the company's money. They're going to be mad at me. Yeah. Yeah. I will say, I had a, I guess he was a VP at a job I used to work at,
Starting point is 00:56:13 that one time I was like exiting or washing my hands or something in the bathroom he came in he did have a bit of business to talk to me about started talking about the business
Starting point is 00:56:25 went into a stall and continued we continued our meeting while he took a shit and it was a little I guess as I'm saying it out loud legally actionable yeah
Starting point is 00:56:36 he may have been enjoying that yeah this is actually my thing I wait for Andrew to go wash his hands and then bingo I get to talk to him while taking a shit
Starting point is 00:56:48 so do you have the files or did you finish the report like it was awful you could like hear him groaning yeah truly he was I mean he was fully just taking a middle-aged man shit
Starting point is 00:57:02 and continuing to talk to me about work and I couldn't leave that's like a thing that was like a power pit play the LBJ used to do he would like pull people into his
Starting point is 00:57:15 White House bathroom and make a, like, have a meeting with them while making unblinking eye contact while taking a shit. Right. In retrospect, like, looking at his notes, he was like, yeah, that's kind of what I do to make him know who's boss. I guess that
Starting point is 00:57:31 has to be in some fucking business book somewhere. I'm guessing even more than that was horrible was the fact that there's no way that was original. Yeah. And then he got that idea from someone else. That business book so wormed its way into
Starting point is 00:57:46 the executive class way that they think about the workplace that now they're like, and you know what? You can't shit in the office. Actually, one business publication was sued for docking their employees pay if they spent more than 90 seconds in the bathroom.
Starting point is 00:58:03 A Swiss court backed a company that was forcing workers to clock out when taking a shit. And a Michigan man was recently fired after posting an Elmo meme that said, boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that's why I poop on company time.
Starting point is 00:58:20 And it was a little like potty training Elmo. I mean, I don't think you should at work. I think you go into the bathroom stall to just hide and just do whatever you want for as long as you want. Yeah, do whatever you want in there, to be honest. Yes, that's your little area. That's right. Save the shitting for home and then the bathroom stall is your playtime. Freedom.
Starting point is 00:58:41 That's right. There was even a British company that unveiled a new standard toilet, which was designed at a downward angle of 13 degrees in order to cause leg strain after five minutes of sitting to just try and get people back. But I mean, this ties into like Amazon workers not having time to clock out to or not having time to use the bathroom and like their efficiency numbers go down if they take a bathroom break. So you just got to start shitting on your boss's desk, folks. I'm fine with it if they buy my diapers. That's right. Supply me with diapers and I'll stay out of the bathroom. Except your boss is like into it.
Starting point is 00:59:26 Yeah. The thing that's so crazy to me is like this can't, I mean, I guess it's just psychological dominance, as we've said in different ways already. But like, there's no way this actually affects like, fucking productivity. Yeah. Like, there's no way someone who, like, has to take a shit for most of the afternoon is doing good work.
Starting point is 00:59:49 Right. Like, what the fuck is happening here? And so somebody gets promoted for coming up with the idea of, like, monitoring people's bathroom use, you know? Right, right,
Starting point is 00:59:58 right. If we just make them wear this, like, ankle monitor, so we know whenever they're going into the bathroom, actually, let's put it around their neck, actually.
Starting point is 01:00:06 So it looks like one of those things that explodes heads and the running man. Or Battle Royale. Yeah, plenty of those. Can we talk Battle Royale? Does everyone want to do a little cocaine and we can be Clinton Tarantino on a podcast? Well, Bridger,
Starting point is 01:00:22 such a pleasure having you, as always, on the podcast. Thank you for having me. Where can people find you and follow you and all that good stuff? I have a podcast called, I said, no gifts, and we're on Patreon now, doing all sorts of things. I'm recapping all sorts of reality.
Starting point is 01:00:38 television, et cetera. The damnedest thing is they keep bringing you gifts. The amount of objects that I've collected over the past five years is a huge problem in my life. But yeah, I've got that other than, you know, Instagram or whatever. Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying? Oh, that's a good question. Let's see.
Starting point is 01:01:06 Well, as far as professional media, I continue to recommend the television show Ripley, which I just think was so good and so underrated. And then as far as social media, the comedian Pete Zias is kind of the only reason I get on Instagram anymore. It's essentially just him recapping Inside Edition, and he has a perfect voice. He's so funny, and kind of the only person who's not actively embarrassing themselves on Instagram. There you go. Amazing. Andrew, where can people find you? Is there working media you've been enjoying? Yeah, I'm on, I don't know, social media, Andrew T.
Starting point is 01:01:45 We have a premium show for Yosus Racist now called Star Trek, where my co-host, Tony Newsom, who is Star Trek royalty, and I am the opposite. She's making me, not making me, she's allowing me, helping me watch Star Trek episodes, and I don't know jack shit about Star Trek. so you have interesting philosophical questions that you like to pose and it's been pretty fun yeah yeah just like it's just star trek is crazy pants i'm trying to find the exact one but um i have
Starting point is 01:02:17 somehow been shunted into the part of um instagram that's old white people speaking perfect chinese and shit i am not going to be able to find it but just know that i've been enjoying that That's a concept. Yeah. I like watching like old people who can actually like dance really well, you know? Like that's a fun genre of where it's like, what? Okay. There's old people crushing it.
Starting point is 01:02:44 Although I, some of those I'm like increasingly, they're going to be AIs, but. Oh, yes. Probably half of them already. Yeah. That's true. Oh, fuck. I've been fooled again. This is like the time I was like, hey, guys, you know what's underrated?
Starting point is 01:02:59 Watching all these raccoons who can jump on. Trampolines. You were there for that humiliation, Andrew. Oh, no, I'm so sorry to hear this. It's coming for all of us. Well, I've always been a fan of bears on hammocks, which is a pre-AI thing. So I thought that this was just an extension of that. They'd discovered trampolines. Turns out not so much.
Starting point is 01:03:23 I know. I know. I'm sorry. I'm not over it yet. Yeah, you'll train one to do it. Yeah, you could get it to happen. That's right. You just got to put in the work.
