Speaker 1 (00:30):
The following program contains coarse language and adult themes. Listener
discretion is advised and contains course language and adult things.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
And Welcome to another episode of The Cocktail Lounge. I
am your hostess with the mostes Aggie, and with me
it's always is the ever swav appable and cough of
ghost Brad Slager. How are you doing tonight?

Speaker 3 (01:28):
My god? Who am I talking to? There's broads everywhere?
What's this all about?

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Sorry?

Speaker 3 (01:36):
We're doing good. We're doing good. We're we're having a
good time over here. It's been a hectic weekend, but
a fun one at that, and the days leading up
to now and then I get to have my weekly
respite with the ever effervescent you. So how's everything going
your way?

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Hey? Before we get started, can you can you confirm
something for me? Since you use the word, I am
not familiar with the correct pronunciation. Is it respite or respite?

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Uh? Usually I hear respite?

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Okay, thank you? All right? So how am I? I'm okay?

Speaker 3 (02:17):
Now that you've learned our language correctly.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Listen, it's constantly evolving. I am constantly learning, I you know,
just because I've just because I've learned some of the
language I didn't learn at all.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Okay, come on, you're supposed to be comprehensive by now
or something like that.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Don't listen, jew.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Don't get antisemitic on me? Or is that your accent?

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Oh, I'm hardened to see Stephen is in our chat room,
and he did say that both are acceptable, So I
don't feel bad now.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Oh I see, Okay, yes, I've heard it both ways.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Well, it's just like it's normally that's a term that
I see while I'm reading a book or something, and
and in my head I hear respite, and so I
never I no one knew that the correct pronunciation. But
if they're both acceptable, then I don't I'm good.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Yeah, it tends to be one of those words you
mostly read, you don't usually hear. But of course I'm
the one that will uncork those words that nobody ever
actually hears. And the hell did he just say?

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yeah, like like ker footfall or improuglio or intaglio.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yes, yes, I'm good for that. Every now and then
I'll say something at the website, on our Slack channel
or something like, oh man, i've heard that word in years. Great,
make me feel I don't know. I guess I'm by
lame boy speak English and novel.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
There you go. That's hey, that's an achievement. So anyway,
moving on, asked, are you know linguistics exercises?

Speaker 3 (04:06):
Well, we tend to do that on this show, don't we.
We like to educate our listeners and broaden their horizons
and make ourselves sound smarter than we are, or at
least me as I try to play catch up with you.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
But oh no, no, no, I'm definitely not the smarter
of the two.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
Girl. Hush, you got a master's degree in people. I don't.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah, my master's degree in people. That's one thing that
I've been using a lot lately about, you know, dealing
with people. Had questions about archaeology a while back, and
I was like, oh my god, you know, like you
all have no idea all the steps that take place

(04:51):
before you start digging anything.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
I mean, I gotta have to watch these archaeology documentaries
on Netflix just to keep up with you. By the way,
it's Aliens.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
It's always Aliens. I've been trying to tell this to everybody,
but believe.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
That George I was watching some other series. What was
it was? It was ancient apocalypse or something like that,
and this one quasi British guy and he's drudging up
a lot of interesting stuff and I'm like, wow, that
is that's that's compelling. You got me thinking. And then

(05:34):
he's drawing these like mystical stories that are told with
the Mayan. And then they find out that there's identical
stories told at the same time in Egypt and in
Asia and in North America. Was like, wow, what the
hell it's Aliens. Oh, eight episodes in and I'm ready
to turn in a term paper. And then he just

(05:56):
like get to the last episode, veers into do they
all share the same history from the same individual that
visited them? Like, wait a second, I ain't turning this
one in.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
Okay, Yeah, well, well it has been aside the whole
archaeological you know, exercises and whatnot.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
It's been a pretty interesting week on the twitters. I
gotta say, I've been like, you know, they're there, the Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, whatever,
the creeps stuff is still going on. There's still some.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
I must be in the minority where I just don't
care about this story.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
I'm at them. I'm at that point too, because if
there had been anything to disclose, it would have been
disclosed well before now. But the problem is with the
handling of the whole situation that just doesn't sit well
with me. And now you have Maxwell saying I will
testify as long as I have you know, certain protections

(07:07):
and all that stuff, and I'm like, yeah, you know,
that's kind of weird that she's actually serving time and
there are no you know, witnesses to the crime that
she's serving time for. So I'm like, there's still a
lot of unanswered questions and there's still a lot of
holes in the story, and.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
All I can do is kicking around for a few days.
Now it's like, oh, there's all these times and they
won't release it because you just know they're inn it.
It's like, listen, before the guy kicked himself off allegedly
long before I said, we're not going to see this
list because there's people on both sides that are going
to be implicated.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Did you see who had the nerve to actually post
about this list today?

Speaker 3 (07:56):
I didn't, because, like I said, I usually just gloss
over if I see the name even come up anymore.
Who's that.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
I could not freaking believe he did this? Kevin's face.
I'm not even joking. I'm like, why are you even here?
Why this? This is no dude, take a seat, Take
all the fucking seats. Take every single fucking seat at
Kennedy Center.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
Okay, yeah, this is one. You just don't want to
go sit for two minutes over in this in on
this one, don't h don't join in, Kevin, That's probably
for the best.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
No, And it was oh oh, and he still managed
to make it about himself. I mean, this is this
is what he wrote. What release the Epstein files, all
of them for those of us with nothing to fear.
The truth can't come soon enough. I hate, I hate
to make this about me, but the media already he

(09:00):
has no. No, you have your own set of problems, buddy,
and you completely completely host yourself and there is nothing
that you can come back from what you did.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
Yeah, so let's maybe I don't know, self reflection. Is
that a possibility. I know you're from Hollywood and you're
used to looking at a damn mirror. How about contemplating
when you do for a little bit. But yeah, there's
a that's somebody that shouldn't shouldn't wait in on this
and actually I was laughing last week, absolutely laughing. I

(09:37):
wrote about this in Red State yesterday. But how the
hell is Gavin Newsome even considered a serious candidate for
the Democrats considering just how flaming stupid this guy is.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Well compare him to everybody else.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
I mean, this has got to be how shallow their
draft pool is for him to still be a contender,
because I'm sorry, Governor bru Cream is just not a
sharp tack.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
No, He's just the loudest, the loudest squeaky wheel right now.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
So there wasn't one, but there were three instances where
he started chirping about Donald Trump and others and totally
oblivious to the fact it reflects back onto him. Yeah,
so he was. I even forget what the first one was,
but he came out about, you know, Donald Trump is
not a soccer game when all these other problems are

(10:27):
going on. It's like, yeah, dumbass, you're in South Carolina,
which is not your state, it's not even your coast,
and there's about eighty plus thousand acres of forest going
up in flames right now in your state, and you're
over in South Carolina. But the kicker was he starts

(10:49):
barking about ice raids in California and they're doing this
with children present. These monsters. Donald Trump is an animal,
completely stupid to what was going on, Like he didn't
have one iota of self reflection to say, look, I
probably should see what's going on first before I react

(11:11):
and tweet about this. And they're raiding a farm where
illegals are working, and he's bitching about children. Is like, Gavin,
why are their children there at a farm, at a
pot farm, Gavin. And it wasn't like they were with
their parents or pros. They were unaccompanied. They were on

(11:32):
location at a pot farm working illegals. Now you've got
child labor laws. Now you got children working with pot.
And then they found out one of the guys they arrested,
and I'm still trying to figure this out. This is
what kills me about the media because they always draw
up these sympathy stories. Oh, they raided the home of

(11:55):
a pregnant immigrant. Yeah, and then there are two guys
inside that were or rapists. That's kind of why they
rated the house. You want to finish your little story there,
Ktla or no, you're not worried about the rest of it.
And in this case, there's a guy working at this
farm who had not charges convicted of kidnapping, convicted of

(12:22):
child sexual assault, and he's not only free, but he's
working in California. And we see these instances all the time.
I was just picking these guys up routinely, and like,
they've got rap sheets longer than my leg seven charges
of this, eight charges of that, and they're just running free,

(12:45):
and the media is not concerned or thinking about that.
So we got this pod farm where kids are working
child labor at a pod farm, illegal immigrants with a
child rapist. I mean, this is five strikes. And then
on top of all, we find out the guy that
owns the pot farm is a major donor to the

(13:05):
Gavin Newso campaign and Gavin Newsom past legislation to help
further legalize marijuana and help this guy's business thrive. I mean,
it has about shutting up.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
They can't seem to do it. They he seems to think,
in my opinion, he seems to think that that he
that his audience, the people that he is targeting, actually
feel the same way he does. And you know, I
hate to disappoint him, but I know a lot of
liberals that do not condone child labor, They do not

(13:41):
condone child molestation, They do not condone trafficking of children,
and and and and I'm like, and these are liberals
that are very aware of the immigration situation and really
do think that we should welcome immigrants with open arms.
But there's a line. There's a huge line. And there

(14:04):
was that line was right there at that pot parm
and for him to actually say, you know, they're tearing
kids away from their parents, and I'm like, these kids
had no parents, that were literally unaccompanied. One of them
was what fourteen years old? Yeah, and they were right
there working with ens.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
I just took a photograph. He had like eight of
them right there, and they were all underage, none of
them had parental It's astounding to me them. I mean,
Gavin had shut up, it probably would not have generated
as much national news as it did. But because he
was the only one the Trump, he highlighted what was

(14:49):
going on. No, but it just underscored the shallowness that
he keeps.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
And he he, like you said, he targets Trump with
all of this, And I'm like, this is not the
this is not the gotcha that you think it is.
If anything, you're highlighting your complete incompetence by targeting Trump
with this stuff, because you're highlighting the mess that is California.
And you have people like one of the dumb Baldwins,

(15:17):
Billy Billy Baldwin was posting.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
They tried to dump on JD. Advance because he took
his family out to Disneyland.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yeah, and everybody was like booing him at Disney and
it's like they don't care.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
Yeah, but then Gavin said, oh, you know you're here,
but I hope you enjoy the labor that's here because
thirty five percent of California's immigrants or something. And it's like, wait,
what do you say. We're not against immigrants. If they're legal,
that's fine, but unless you're promoting the illegals that are
working at Disneyland, is that what you're doing, because I
don't know that you want to do that. So put

(15:58):
the phone down. Just put the phone down. Stop.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
This is just what really, Yeah, this is what I
don't understand. He expects to get sympathy and they they
don't understand that sympathy is running out for the left
as well. I mean, they're dealing with the issues right

(16:26):
up front. You know, right there, right in their faces,
because they all live in you know, areas that are
very very blue where they tend to have sanctuary policies,
and they're the ones dealing with it, and they're starting
to see, you know, this is pretty This is why
Eric Adams is now running as an independent over in
New York City because he did see the destruction of

(16:49):
his own policies. He was trying to do what he
felt that the people of New York wanted him to do,
and he did that and saw that it didn't work,
and wanted to work with the administration in trying to
get New York back on you know, back on track.
And now you have Mom Donnie over there, you know, saying, oh,

(17:14):
we need rent controls, and we need a government owned
grocery stores, and we need this, and we need to
do that, and sees the means of production, you know,
blah blah blah. And of course I get I get.
I get tired of seeing the people. It's like, that's
not what he said. I said, No, literally, that is
what he said. It's on video. Anybody can look at it.

(17:34):
And and this whole him smiling all the time and everything.
I was like, you can't for him to actually be
happy and smiling all the time. That's a big tell.
That is a big tell because I this is something
that I one of the things that you know, we

(17:55):
were taught to look for when we were studying people. Uh,
you know it. There are some visual tells that are
very easy. The one that always struck me as being
interesting was the fact that people would smile even when

(18:16):
they were talking about things that were detrimental to others,
and they would say, you know, we all have to
you know, come together and I know it's going to
be bad and everything, and they would smile, and that
was always a big tell. And this mom Danny person
always does that. And it's like it's almost like, you know,

(18:37):
people just they see the smile. They're not really listening
to what he's saying. He's not even hiding it. He
has yes, And it is a it's a very big
tale of that, it really is. But it's also a
tell of trying to sell something that normally you would

(18:58):
not buy, to tell you something that normally you would
not buy, and that is exactly what Mondani is doing.
Everybody's like, oh, you know, you know, you can't blame
him for what the for the stuff that his father? Yeah,
actually I can't because the guy is in his thirties
and he should know better. By this point. I know
that everything that my parents believed in I didn't buy it,

(19:21):
you know, line, hook and sinker. I just you know,
I had to forge my way into my political wilderness
just like everybody else. And for people to actually give
him a pass on this that's dangerous.

Speaker 3 (19:35):
Well, I think he just pretty much killed his chances
because when it comes to economic policy, he revealed it
where he said, you know, hey, I go out and
just you know, spend like I want to, and if
I go broke, it's quite okay because I have my
parents' money to fall back on.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yeah, that was that's like what.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
You know, York is already dead, So don't know that
this is who you want to turn the bank book
over to. But okay, people that they're resting out in California, though,
I think they've got a good future because they're gonna
come to Florida.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
Now, Oh yeah, it's a it's a nice place y'all
got there in Florida, Florida.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
Come to Alligator Alcatraz. Notice, Gator get MoU. I have
loved watching the media lose their mind about this. They
actually like all the complaints coming out of this place,
all the conditions, the inhuman attitudes and environment they got

(20:42):
to live with. You haven't been there. I'm looking at
the reporters. When were you inside? You weren't. Oh, how
did you learn about it?

Speaker 4 (20:49):
Then?

Speaker 3 (20:50):
From the telephone game? Literally, people inside called their family,
and then their family called a friend or somebody at
the newspaper, and then they gave it to the reporter.
So it's like fifth hand information about maggots in the
food that they're eating.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
But and that's just it. I'm not even sure that
the people that are in the camp actually told this
to their family members. I'm pretty sure the family members
just ran with it. I mean, there's you can't you
can't make that connect. You can't say that that's true.
You know, there's there's no way to verify it.

Speaker 3 (21:23):
So well, I saw one news report where they complained
that the people inside don't have access to phones, and
yet they're reporting on what's going on inside based on
what they've told their family members to the reporters, Like,
I'm sorry, can you maybe get your story straight before?
How is word getting out if they can't contact anybody,
according to you. And then supposedly one guy in there

(21:46):
is talking about the freezing conditions inside the place, inside
the swamp in Florida.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
So let me get this right, in jail air conditioning.
He's complaining.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
Yeah, and then there's maggots. And I'm pretty sure maggots
neat about five to six days before they form unexposed,
like day two, they have maggots already in the food,
sure they do. Mosquito's the size of elephants, shut up
to Florida.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
The actual mosquitoes the size of elephants are actually further south.
You can find them in Ecuador. You can find them
in Columbia.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
We do have one breed that's actually close to an
inch or two in size. These things can barely fly.
They're so unwieldy, and it's not like they're dive bombing
you at thirty miles an hour, and it's like, oh,
there's one of those stupid ass watch them, watch them,
he can't fly. Watch them. He's trying to go up.
It's so cute. Yeah, they're not in attack mode. It's
the little ones that land on you and bite instantly

(22:56):
that she got to freak out about or so if
you're like me, you just enough bourbon that it perme
is through your skin and they don't mess with you.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
You're completely pickled.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
Native Native listened to the new locals.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
So I'm guessing that the people who are at Gator
Gemo are in air conditioned areas. They do have some
sort of bedding lay on and facilities where they can. Yeah.
So you know, it's really funny because I was reading

(23:34):
about the diet that they're being given over in El
Salvador and it's it's a very it's very interesting, but
it's a The diet is not bad, but it is specific.
So I'm wondering, are they doing the same thing here?
Do you know?

Speaker 3 (23:53):
I have not seen the uh, I've not actually seen
the menu. I've only seen the Yelp reviews and of
cross the Board their one star. It's just coming out.
It's extremely hot, it's freezing the beds. There's flooding inside
the place. Or Mosquito's the size of relevance and yeah,

(24:14):
it's all, yeah, this place is going to get really
they're not going to get a Michelin star anytime soon
here until.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
They well, I did hear that there was one what's
his name, Alonso, I think his name is Alonso something
or there was decided to actually self the port rather
than go through the through the trib there we go. Yeah,
and I'm like, so, you know, but of course the

(24:40):
media is talking about how you know, this poor guy
is choosing to live to leave, you know, blah blah
blah because of the treatment. No, he's choosing to leave
because he realizes this is gonna say forever, and if
he's found guilty, which he will be, he won't be
able to come back. So he's choosing to self support
and avoid that whole thing and then take his chance

(25:02):
that he can come back. I mean, and this is
and this is all that the government has been asking.
If you choose to leave, you do have a chance
to come back legally. But if you say and we
catch you, yeah, that chance is gone.

Speaker 3 (25:17):
But this is the amusing part where you hear the
media say, there's like, oh, what, what's how is this
a bad thing? How's it? What's the downside? This is
an illegal guy choosing to leave the country. Why are
you crying about this? They make it sound like we've
lost the cure to cancer or something. Like that. It's like, Okay,
if he had that kind of skill set, he could

(25:39):
probably become a citizen.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
Ooked this is what I don't understand. You have what's
her name, President Shinbaum over and I think that's her
last name over in the idiot over in Mexico. She's
she's screaming about how we are mistreating the Mexicans that

(26:05):
have gone to our country for a chance at a
better life. And I'm going, do you hear yourself? You're
actually admitting that you are in a hellhole. Okay, you're
the leader of the hellhole. They're trying to leave. And
now there's talk about the remittance texts. And I don't

(26:28):
know if anybody is familiar, but the two countries that
have the highest amount of remittances, Mexico is second only
to China. And this would impact Mexico a lot, which
is why she's pissed. And now you have, you know,
people over in Mexico City that they're starting to actually

(26:50):
want the Americans to leave. And I'm alike, I don't
even know why they are Americans there, but you know whatever,
Apparently there are some patriots who decided to go to
Mexico so that their dollar can go a little farther,
they can work remote from there, they can enjoy better climate,

(27:12):
and by virtue of the fact that they are Americans,
they get you know, they get treated a little better
by the government, but because you know, their money is
in Mexico now. So apparently there was this huge protest
in Mexico City that turned pretty violent, and the media

(27:36):
didn't pick it up a lot over here. They talked
about it, yes and everything, but they did not The
violence was downplayed. So I actually I get the subscription
to one of the Puerto Rican newspapers, and so I
was looking at it and I said, yeah, I got
pretty violent. It really did. That. People were throwing bottles,

(27:58):
people were throwing brickseople were throwing you know. And I
was like, oh, so it's basically everything that's been going
on up here in reverse. They want to kick all
the Americans out. And I'm like, okay, so now you're
getting it there, and they were. Their complaints were hilarious
to me. They were complaining about how they're they take

(28:19):
advantage of the government largest. I'm like, what government largest?
This is Mexico. What are you talking about. But apparently,
because they do get you know, special treatment. They get
certain tax breaks and everything as long as they spend
the money in state. So there there was that going on.
There was they were they were talking about how because

(28:43):
they you know, they they take up all of their
their because they come down, the rent goes up, you know,
because they can you know, they can afford to pay more.
So the rent goes up because they will charge them more,
which means everybody else that has other places to rent,
we'll charge more. So they were complaining about that. They

(29:04):
were complaining about the restaurants were increasing their prices, the
you know, blah blah blah and all that stuff. And
I'm going, oh, okay, but it's okay if you guys
do it over here. Okay. You see, there's the difference.
The American expats that are down there are there legally.

(29:25):
They didn't have to sneak into the country. They actually
had to have permission to actually live there and work
from there.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
And know how nimbi translates in Spanish?

Speaker 2 (29:38):
What is nimby?

Speaker 3 (29:40):
Not in my backyard?

Speaker 2 (29:45):
No, I mean visit dadio. That's more like neighborhood. But yeah,
and it was, you know, and I'm looking at this
and I'm reading it going I blame cern because I
cannot believe that I'm actually reading this and thinking that
these people are so disconnected from the reality that they

(30:06):
think this isn't the same as what's going on over here.

Speaker 3 (30:09):
Actually they can say it, but if we say it
here in the United States, were being racist.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
Yeah, and that's and.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
That works is kind of interesting.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
Oh No, there was one guy that was saying that
the Americans that are there, you know, they they don't
understand that, you know, the minorities have rights. And I'm like,
it's Mexico. You're not the minority in Mexico. So I
was just like, man, these people are like completely well.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
The I guess when those riots break out, then Elegator
Alcatraz doesn't sound so bad, does it.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
No? And and this is this is the other thing,
because somebody was asking me about Alligator or Alcatraz. I
think one of my cousins, I think it was, And
I felt there it's just a you know, if they're
not actual tents, okay, you're you're picturing, you know, the
tents from our childhood. That's not what's going on here.

(31:16):
They thought that that's what it was that somebody had
just pitched a bunch of tents.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
That's like, no, well, here's I loved this so much.
I cracked up. The press obviously hates Alligator Alcatraz, but
the Miami Herald has been especially focused on this ballpark.
Figure how many articles do you think the Miami Herald

(31:44):
has written about Alligator Alcatraz. Bear in mind, it's it's
been up and operational roughly about three weeks. They came
from the announcement to now being operational. I'll guess four, oh, honey,

(32:06):
that would be since three o'clock. Maybe. No. I I
was doing this for my my weekly round of you know,
the worst media outlet of the week, and so yeah,
Miami Herald was I'll just spoiler alert the winner of
this week. And I'm just doing some research and I'm
going through it. I did an Alligator Alcatraz search on
the site and I kept going and I kept like,

(32:27):
what the living hell is brong with you? People kept
coming over two hundred no, lie what I went back.
I was like, holy, they just announced this, son. It
was like the last week of June when they first
you know, like our Attorney General, oh Meyer Othmeyer, he

(32:47):
came out and you know, put a video out. He's like,
so this is going to be where it's at. Here's
the runway from the old, you know, abandoned airstrip. And
from that point forward it has been round the clock,
obsessive Alligator Alcatraz coverage at the Miami Herald. And of
course I think, like ninety nine point six percent of
it is negative.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
I just I just want to say real quick that
before my father passed away, he was aware of Geter
and he heartily approved. He thought that that was the
best idea ever.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
So and that like that harkens. There was a great
episode on CNN last night when Abby Philip had one
of her famous dysfunctional panels going and guess who was
on it but Anna Navarro, god of South Florida fame.

(33:43):
I'm familiar with the woman she was. She was speaking
with Brad Palumbo, probably a big mistake on Anna's part,
and she was talking about how, you know, the deportations
are so horrible and suction and he's like, no, they're
not bad. You know, you're you're making this into a
crisis that doesn't exist. And she's like, well, of course
you feel that way because you're a white man. Literally

(34:06):
her words, and then he says, wow, you know that
was quite racist of you. She's like, no, no, no,
it's not racist. I'm just saying that's the way it
is because Hispanics disagree.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
With it, and he's brown people disagree with it.

Speaker 3 (34:19):
Yeah, she's And he said, okay, you're being racist again
because you don't speak for all the Hispanics of the world.
And it's so true because down here, especially in South Florida,
I'd say roughly half of the Hispanic community are like,
hell no, we don't want to illegals here.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
Can we. It was Brad Palumbo, right, that was okay?
So I get so she was being homophobic.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
I won't go that far. She wasn't.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
No, no, I will, okay, I will.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
You know this is the way they operate. So yeah,
it's like, oh, I'm a gay man, you have can't
disagree with me.

Speaker 4 (34:56):
No.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
But he I mean, he was very calm and casual,
but he's like, do you realize you're being graciss when
you say that, you're just discounting me for being white.
And she's like, no, no, you don't understand it because
Hispanics feel differently. And he's like, you don't speak for
all his fans, and you could just see her trying
to backtrack and being incapable of doing so because she's
just so married to the narrative. And it just cracks

(35:20):
me up when simple facts just blow things up in
this fashion. But down here, I can tell you a
great many Hispanic residents that our citizens are against illegal immigration.
And that's the whole thing. Is legal is I have
to spell this out to people all the time. Oh,

(35:40):
you just hate immigrants. It's like, no, I don't. Some
of my best friends are immigrants. You know. I have
to pull that line out, but I hate to. It's like, no,
it's do it legally. Go ahead, great and make some business.
I want a taco stand right down the street, get
your card, do it up. Boom, let's go. But you're

(36:00):
not allowed to say that. Apparently you have to be
you have to be racist, you have to hate immigrants,
and that's just the way it works. Well, this hasn't
been the only hysteria going on. I think the speaking
of Hispanics, I think the Spanish term is autographiagraph.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
You mean the autograph.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
Yes, signatures, mm hmm. The the autopin scandal is starting
to heat up there.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
Yeah, oh yeah, that was. I'm just like, I'm agog
because I tech illiterate, as you and I have discussed before,
and everybody knows, I'm lucky to get my email. As
a matter of fact, thank you for reminding myself that
I do have an email that I need to check. Aside,

(36:55):
even I know the difference between DOCU sign and an
auto head and I cannot for for me, I understand
how it was.

Speaker 3 (37:10):
This is from NBC News. That's the part that just
I mean, I saw it this morning and I'm like,
you just did not go there. And at first, the
first one I saw, the first post I saw on
shitter was from an individual I didn't know by name,
and it turned out to be a producer over at
NBC News. But came out and boldly said nope, we

(37:30):
found out James Coomer has used electronic signatures that are
just like the autopin and he did it for documents
to investigate the autopin scandal.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
And I'm like, no, that's only one auto pen.

Speaker 3 (37:47):
I was like, only on my second or third coffee.
So I got that and I shot right up. I
was like, no, they are not doing this. He can't
be so I clicked through, and sure as hell, yes
they are.

Speaker 2 (37:59):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (38:00):
So they're trying to say that James Comer is I
don't know, I guess hypocritical because he's used electronic signatures
on an electronic document. I'm sure most people listening have
done this at some point in time. I have to
apply for a home loan exactly, rental agreement, car agreement, something.

(38:24):
You know, you've done some kind of documents digitally. It
is completely different than an autopen Okay. This is like
a documented sense to a specific address that you control,
that you only have access to when only you can
fill this out and sign it and return it. Auto
pen is an actual device, and people use it to

(38:47):
write down somebody else's signature on command. And as stupid
and as impacted as this article was, that cracks me
up even more is how blatant it is that they're
spending more time trying to go after Comer than to
actually look into and investigate the auto pen details, which

(39:11):
is the legitimate scandal. Joe Biden checked out mentally. Okay,
I'm going to timeline it so you can see just
how out of control this was after the election, Okay,
Joe Biden brought lame duck to a new level. Okay,

(39:32):
like this guy was playing with rubber ducks basically for
the last couple of months. That's where he was at.
It's like he'd answer a question and has to take
a nap. That's how bad things work. So it was
like early week of December, he had only at that
point in time signed something like a couple dozen pardons,

(39:54):
and it was like one of the lowest totals seen
from a president at that point. By the time he
left on January twenty, he blasted out of the water
the record for the amount of pardons by a president
four thousand, two hundred over Okay, first week of December,

(40:15):
like thirty four had been signed. By the time he
left in January twenty over forty two hundred one day alone,
fifteen hundred.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
I believe that was the day about the people that
were in prisons. I think it was. That was the
one that was fifteen hundred signatures that we're done.

Speaker 3 (40:39):
Oh no, that was they did some kind of uh
sweeping pardon for people that were on house arrest. I
want to say, was it house arrest, Yeah, I think
there were. I think it was home confinement. Had something
that some extenuating circumstance with the pandemic. Maybe I think
there were might have been the people that pulled lot

(41:00):
of jail because of the pandemic something. There was some
kind of home home detention aspect of it. But fifteen
hundred and one day, there was no way that Joe
Biden breathed on his own fifteen hundred times in a
single day, let alone signed fifteen documents.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
No, No, it was It was bizarre the way the
the way the pardons were done. I mean like it
was an avalanche, and there were questions even then at
as to how quick they came through. And you're right,

(41:40):
I mean if he had been signing them, that was
problematic in and of itself because he wouldn't have had
time to sleep for like two or three days. We
all know different now.

Speaker 3 (41:53):
I mean, like the use of the autopane itself is
not the problem, because the president can do so a
lot of times he has to.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
Well, the problem with the autopen is that originally the
autopen was supposed to be used in cases where his
signature was needed, but he was out of the country
where he was in an area where he could not
sign the bill or whatever it was that needed his signature.
So it was supposed to be used on very rare occasions.

(42:22):
It was never intended, I don't think for pardoning purposes,
because those documents have to be above reproach, you know, so.

Speaker 3 (42:33):
When you use the autopen, like when you qualify for
the Presidential Fitness Seal in elementary school and he signs
the proclamation for you, or some nonsense like, oh.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
That's not even the autopen, that's actually a stamp. Yeah,
so it's not even worthy of the autopen.

Speaker 3 (42:51):
But I wrote about it today at Red State. ABC
News covered the He gave an interview with New York
Times over the weekend, I think with Peter Baker, and
they were covering it and they were trying to explain it. No, no, no,
no scandal because Biden right here says that he oversaw
each pardon and he was a part of it. And

(43:11):
then I actually read their article something they didn't want
me to do, apparently write in the article itself, it
said that, well, they had these sweeping categories that he
gave to the staff and make sure people qualified for
and they could get pardons. So he like gave them

(43:34):
like an outline or bluepriov or some sort like it
was a drug offensive more than ten years, they can
get pardoned and if some things of that nature. And
he even he and the staff admitted in the interview
or to ABC News and said, yeah, he set framework

(43:54):
of who could be qualified for and then we pardoned them.
He did not oversee a shit every single one like
he's claiming. He basically gave him criteria and go ahead.
If they meet the criteria, they get a part, and
go ahead and take care of it. That's what happened.
And a couple of people have already admitted that they

(44:16):
were the ones doing the auto pen staggering.

Speaker 2 (44:21):
Oh shocking. Absolutely no one. But that's okay.

Speaker 3 (44:24):
So yeah, I'm sorry. I don't think Joe Biden was
up until two o'clock in the morning signing fifteen hundred
pardons on a Friday. I'm going to go on a
Lemon's that just state that. Right now, this is just
watching the press fall over themselves again to protect this guy.
He's not in office anymore. What are you doing? Why

(44:47):
are you doing it? It's amazing.

Speaker 2 (44:54):
Yeah, the autopen thing, it's getting to be very problematic
for everybody that got a pardon and personally speaking, I
know everybody wants you know, Liz has Liz Cheney has
been very quiet of late. But the one that I
really want I hope this burns him in the ass

(45:17):
is Kid Singer. I really do that carpet bagging piece
of pig offl is such an asshole. I really want it.
I want it. I do, I do, I do, I
do I do. There's I mean, there's everybody. I really
do want this, especially the j sixth thing.

Speaker 3 (45:39):
I want a thing and the huh I want to
become account.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
Fauci and yeah, the people that need accountability for what
they did so but you know, God, and now you know,
we just heard that Adam Shipp might be in trouble
too because of Market's fraud. And I'm just like, this
is so delicious.

Speaker 3 (46:07):
But you know, this is the cynic in me coming
out there is that I'm I don't know in any
instance of people that have actually been held accountable for
this kind of stuff. Like I can all kinds of
people that have come out to Congress and you know,
gave false testimony which should be completely punishable, and yet

(46:31):
I've yet to see the punishments. It's like when where yeah,
an investigation. Okay, great, what's what's it gonna lead to? Yes,
Hunter Biden. They came up with all kinds of dirt
on Hunter Biden. What is Oh, he's broke. I have
to get some more daddy's money. That's it. His ashs
should be in the hoops now, I'm sorry. Uh, Peter

(46:55):
Struck lied to Congress from the FBI. Andrew McCabe gets
a gig at CNN after lying to Congress. I mean,
when is there ever that point like they give People
have been found guilty plenty and then what nothing. That's
That's where I'm completely cynical about.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
Stuff, you know. I mean there's there's a lot people
and there are some that weird, you know that they're
not in the big picture. They're not in the spotlight
right now. Like Norm Eisen, he's a big one. I
mean apparently he actually kind of blacked that he had

(47:39):
actually helped Judge mershant To. You know, when Bragg was
actually going after Trump up in New York, he was
writing stuff from Judge mershant To to say and try
and get Trump convicted of crimes that nobody can actually pinpoint.
So you know, there's a lot of mechanicians that are

(48:02):
going on. And but you're right, somebody has to be
held accountable. Somebody has to start and people have to
start going to jail for these things. You can't have
investigations going on forever.

Speaker 3 (48:16):
I mean, it's crossed. Like Letitia James, she's gotten in trouble,
that other dingbat down in Georgia, that prosecutor. She's got
a number of things hanging around her deck. And I
haven't heard much about it. And it's like everywhere you turn,
it's like there's another sign of some form of corruption.
Something wrong is going on. They've misbehaved in front of
Congress blatantly. So yeah, yeah, but where's the follow through?

(48:41):
That's my question. So I want to see Fauci actually
convicted and actually pay a penalty some form. But he's
he's saved America and he's so old. Yeah cool, all right,
send him to getor getmo how about that.

Speaker 2 (48:59):
I'd be okay with that.

Speaker 3 (49:02):
He can wear his mask there, maybe you'll protect him
from the gators. Well, we've got other problems to worry about.

Speaker 2 (49:10):
Actually, oh yeah, plenty.

Speaker 3 (49:13):
China they're about to unleash. Well, I don't know if
this is a honeypot necessarily, but there's not something we
really we got to be concerned about. What's going on
here scientists and China are stepping into a new form

(49:37):
of modern warfare.

Speaker 2 (49:42):
Amazing, So yeah.

Speaker 3 (49:46):
We have to worry about something that The researchers at
the Beijing Institute of Technology this b they managed to
develop the world's lightest brain controller. It only weighs seventy
four milligrams.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
That's pretty light.

Speaker 3 (50:08):
I'm gonna say tiny damn near even the testibal.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
Very wee.

Speaker 3 (50:14):
Trending towards the nanite territory. Dare we say?

Speaker 2 (50:18):
So?

Speaker 3 (50:18):
Just what in the living hell are the chy cooms
doing with such a small brain controller?

Speaker 2 (50:25):
I don't, I don't.

Speaker 3 (50:27):
They are looking to turn nectar sucking bees into modern
warfare cyborgs.

Speaker 2 (50:34):
They're turbinators. While wow, it wasn't my tweet.

Speaker 3 (50:51):
What the hell's going on here? Insect based robots and
here the super mobility, camouflage capabilities, and environmental adaptability of
their biological hosts, says one professor. Compared to synthetic alternatives,
they demonstrate enhanced stealth and extend operational endurance, making them

(51:16):
invaluable for covert reconnaissance missions in scenarios such as urban combat.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
What do they send them out there with like a
special stinger or I mean, what would they do?

Speaker 3 (51:31):
Like how many terrorists do you know have a bee
allergy and this is going to be convenient for you?

Speaker 2 (51:38):
Well, you know, the weird thing is that allergens have
actually spiked in the past twenty years, so the probability
is pretty high.

Speaker 3 (51:48):
Ghosting them and see if we can completely unravel their plot.

Speaker 2 (51:52):
But here's the thing. It has to run on some
kind of power and that would require either little solar
cells or little batteries or little something right, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (52:09):
I would imagine, And I would also think that the
bee itself would need, you know, certain things like energy
and food supply and stuff like that to continue on
its way. And like they make it seem like it's
a robot and they could just pull it out of
a box that whill It's like, No, this is an
actual living bee that you're controlling. I still don't know

(52:30):
what the hell you're doing with it.

Speaker 2 (52:32):
Well, I mean, people invent things just for the sake
of being able to invent, and hopefully that invention will
lead to other inventions. I mean, it's just that was
a speaking of terminator. In the second terminator, you're talking
to the guy who found the arm, and he said
it was it was broken. We couldn't do anything with it,

(52:53):
but we could go in so many different directions, you know.
And that always in my head, because yeah, you're right,
you don't need to actually have a good invention in
order to go in different directions from that particular invention.
It doesn't even have to work in order to facilitate
your next invention or you know. So, but you're right.

(53:17):
I mean, I have heard that other insects have been
used in this manner, and even you know, even though
we laughed about it in the fifth element with the
little cockroach and the that was you know, had the
microphone or whatever. But I just I think they could

(53:42):
have skipped this part and gone straight to the next invention,
because I.

Speaker 3 (53:49):
Just like I be clear on what they think of
be is going to.

Speaker 2 (53:54):
I don't know, Because they said that they could tell
her to go right, go left, or go forward, you know,
and nine times out of ten the bee actually obeyed
the commands. And like I said, all great and good
that you have done this for the bee. But the

(54:15):
bee not only has to carry its own body on
those very beautiful little wings. It also has to carry
all of the pollen, and bees do get tired. That
that's why they sleep in little flowers and stuff like that.
And I just I don't see why they would pick
the bee, but I see why they're trying. Now they

(54:37):
have something that weighs very, very, a very small amount,
and they can probably attach it to something a little
bigger and see if that would work. So I get
the use of the bee. I don't think that they're
going to actually launch the bee the turbinators.

Speaker 3 (54:58):
At a loss. I'm at a loss.

Speaker 2 (55:01):
I'm just saying it could possibly be because it opened
doors to other in other directions for this particular invention
that they came up with. However, I don't think using
an insect like a bee would be in the long run,
I don't. I don't see the use for the bee.

(55:23):
Be admittedly has a longer life stand than some other insects,
but the bee has a specific job, you know, and
you deviated from that job, it will affect the bee,
So that's right.

Speaker 3 (55:42):
Yeah, I don't know where they're going with this, but okay,
just good luck on it. Well, when I mentioned the Kardashians.
I'm sure most people have a similar reaction, and that
it is who gives a crap?

Speaker 2 (55:57):
I don't are these people still around?

Speaker 3 (56:02):
Apparently so, because actually I have found one Kardashian that
actually gives a crap.

Speaker 2 (56:12):
I see what you did there?

Speaker 3 (56:14):
Took it? Took you a little bit, didn't it. But yeah,
I think there's a Pulitzer prize on the horizon for
an individual by the name of Barrett Wurtz that writes
over at the New York Post. He is he's up
for a prize her because, as his headline tells us,

(56:35):
Courtney Kardashian helped me poop. He goes on to say
that he was skeptical, but following her worked like a charm.
Uh just his opening line. Here, my bowels and I

(57:03):
have been on a journey now. Honestly, I don't know
if anybody who is not a media analyst like myself
would read past this point, and yet apparently the New
York Post felt somebody would. So, as Barrett goes on

(57:25):
to explain he was taking some sort of medication, one
of the side effects could be constipatient if you don't
properly hydrate, and as he wonderfully admits, I'm dehydrated all
the time. So he apparently got backed up and got
a hold of Apparently Courtney has her own line of

(57:47):
bowel enhancement products.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
I guess.

Speaker 3 (57:53):
So this is called Lemmy number two her and this
is how he describes it in his article Gut Friendly,
Go po Gummies. I'm beyond fascinated that anybody typed this

(58:18):
out and put their name on it and his photograph
and helpfully included with his article a photo of Courtney's
smiling as she is squatting on a toilet.

Speaker 2 (58:34):
Why I don't understand. I know, I know. I will
preface this with saying, there's a kink for everything. Okay,
that said, why, as somebody that has notoriety, that has
a mother that has built an entire empire based on

(58:56):
your looks, would you even think about taking this photograph
sitting on a toilet.

Speaker 3 (59:06):
I'm well, when it comes to these people, meaning the Kardashians,
I'm not being racist. I'm just saying they're absolute whores
in pretty much any capacity when it comes to product
selling or anything of the sort. They don't care if
they can get paid, they'll put their name on it.

(59:28):
So there's Courtney Kardashian. Yeah, every time I take a crap,
I think of her.

Speaker 2 (59:38):
Well, I mean, the association is valid. I just I
would never have done this. I would never have if
I were working for a newspaper and my job was
consumer reports or anything to that effect. Testing of this

(01:00:01):
is something I would not do. I would actually I
would try it out and you know, stay in a column.
You know, these are some of the things that we
have we here have tried and have met with success.
And then just make the links. That's it.

Speaker 3 (01:00:23):
He provides all the all of that too. But also
you know there's a photo of him, and there's a
picture of him holding the jar of her gummies and
gives us details about his leavings.

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
I can we not.

Speaker 3 (01:00:47):
Even like it. Gives us a rundown of his applications
of sorts.

Speaker 2 (01:00:52):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:00:52):
I started with the recommended two gummies per day and
noticed relief after about three days. No mad dash to
the bathroom or sudden urges mid meeting. But my body
just started cooperating three days.

Speaker 2 (01:01:12):
I want my body to co operate a little faster
than that. Thank you, Holy how, I was gonna say craft.

Speaker 4 (01:01:19):
But.

Speaker 3 (01:01:22):
Yeah, this is just I'm I guess I'm happy for you. Bett.

Speaker 2 (01:01:28):
Listen, he finally got some relief. Let's just applaud the
man and just be grateful that he he took one
for the team.

Speaker 3 (01:01:40):
Were he actually left one?

Speaker 2 (01:01:46):
Yes, definitely that.

Speaker 3 (01:01:53):
Maybe maybe a little for the team. We get a
limit that part of it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
Okay, our friend Bit actually says that taco bell does
work faster, and I that that is not a lie.
It's very cheaper too.

Speaker 3 (01:02:13):
Hey, you enjoy cat food. Knock yourself out.

Speaker 2 (01:02:18):
Well, speaking about furry little friends, I know that you
have a cute little story about some I do.

Speaker 3 (01:02:25):
It is cute. It's over in the Grand Tetons, And
that's not a phrasing on my part. I'm actually referring
to the Great Outdoors. The National Park rangers there started
to issue warnings to the residents that apparently they want

(01:02:48):
the foxes in the park to go barefoot, if I'm
reading this correctly, So they're putting signs up throughout the
park asking folks to stop putting their shoes out for
the foxes.

Speaker 2 (01:03:09):
So okay.

Speaker 3 (01:03:12):
I became curious at this point, as a normal individual would.

Speaker 2 (01:03:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:03:18):
Currently, it began with people that were maybe putting out
dirty or wet shoes outside of their tents or whether
they're stayed, and finding out that foxes were starting to
show up and making off with the shoes, and so
the rangers issued a warning and said, yeah, folks, don't

(01:03:38):
put your shoes outside because that's attracting foxes. And then
human nature stepped in. People are like, cool, we get
to see foxes. So they started putting more of their
shoes out to attract.

Speaker 2 (01:03:51):
More of the foces, which is explicitly what the park
raater so do not to do. But human nature being
what it is, you know, you can't tell me what
to do. Put out all the shoes. Now, the weird
thing is is that nobody knows what the foxes are

(01:04:12):
doing with the shoes. But there is a danger because
foxes are wild animals, and it's a too full danger.
You don't want them to become very used to having
humans around because that could be dangerous for the fox
These are wild animals and they do need to stay wild.

(01:04:35):
And that's said because they are wild animals, you don't
want to interact them, you know, like remember when they
said don't pet the fluffy cows. It's the same thing here,
admittedly on a smaller scale, but you cannot predict what
a fox is gonna do. I have foxes on my property.
I have great foxes, and I admire them from Afart,

(01:04:59):
just like I admire bobcats that come from Afar. I
let I leave them be, and I try not to
interact that. I try not to like put out food
or do anything like that because I don't want to
have them domesticate it, because they are wild animals and
they should stay wild. And that's the point of the
park rangers and the posts that they made.

Speaker 3 (01:05:22):
You know, well, I was, yeah, I was curious, and
then of course they were no help because everybody pretty
much said the same thing. We have no idea why
they're doing this.

Speaker 2 (01:05:35):
Well, they're well shot.

Speaker 1 (01:05:36):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:05:42):
I think it's the scent. I think it's the scent
that it attracts the foxes.

Speaker 3 (01:05:49):
I mean, you're tramping through the wild, so it's pretty
likely that you've stepped in something that would attract them.

Speaker 2 (01:05:57):
Well, as I understand that foxes have burrows, you know
they have, and they want to keep other animals from them,
So maybe that's what they're using the shoes for. So
that the scent just you know, detracts animals from going
into their burrows. But I mean, I could be wrong.
I don't know. That's speculating on my part.

Speaker 3 (01:06:20):
Well, I found this out similar notes, like right here
on our beaches and Fort Lauderdale and such, we've got
seoats that grow wild, and there's actually a breed of
mouse that lives in the se burrows in the ground,
and their main predator are snakes in the area as well.

(01:06:44):
And you never see any of these crab I mean,
most of the coeots that are on the beach, they
got them roped off. Leave them alone. They're kind of rare.
They want to keep them growing. And so you know,
these figure snakes are around. The mice are just fair game.
They're dead. Snake will just go in the burrow, get
them done on. These are actually smart ass mice because
what they do is root around and when they find

(01:07:08):
the skin that the snakes have shed, they take them
in the burrow and that's what the snake smells and
doesn't smell the mouse.

Speaker 2 (01:07:18):
I guess it would be the same concept then that
the shoes and the foxes. That makes sense.

Speaker 3 (01:07:24):
How the stupid ass beach rat got that kind of
brain power.

Speaker 2 (01:07:28):
It's like, well, it's survival. You know that, you know,
a cornered animal will they will figure things out. Animals
can you know, figure things out on their own?

Speaker 3 (01:07:44):
Well, uh, the foxes are getting shoes for free, but
one thing they're not going to get for free is
a purse.

Speaker 2 (01:07:52):
No, they're not.

Speaker 3 (01:07:56):
This is a ham fisted segue, but I had to
throw it to you.

Speaker 2 (01:08:04):
I'm sure that everybody, Okay, most women that are listening
in are familiar with the burken Bag. The Burken bag.

Speaker 3 (01:08:14):
Someday fingers crossed over here.

Speaker 2 (01:08:19):
The burken bag was actually made by Ermis, by their
head collaborator. He was flying with actress Jane Burkin. And
I'm not sure if anybody's familiar with her, but if
you've seen some of the movies like Death on the Nile,

(01:08:43):
she played the maid Luis Bourge, and she's she was
very famous in Great Britain and in France, specifically in France.
She actually became a French citizen and was very well
known for her film work there. But she had complained that,
you know, she could never find a handbag to hold

(01:09:05):
a lush stuff. And there was a cooperation and thus
the Birken bag was born. She helped to design that
bag and everything, and she was gifted that bag. She
had the first one. That bag was her bag for
a long time, and then she donated it for an
auction to raise money for AIDS research. And so that

(01:09:31):
bag sold for a lot of money back then. And
this was back in nineteen eighty nine. The bag was
actually developed in eighty four and she put it up
for auction in ninety four. It has now come up
for auction. This is the original Burken bag. Now, for
those not familiar with how pricey these things are, Burke

(01:09:53):
and bags can you go in? And it used to
be that you actually had to get on a wait
list to purchase this bag. And the prices in the
five figures. It's like, you know, between twelve and twenty
thousand dollars depending on the size of the Burken bag.

(01:10:15):
And most people that actually buy the Birken bag, they
don't buy it for themselves. They actually buy it to
sell on the secondary market for even more money. This
bag in returns does better than the stock market. Okay,
it's insane how some women will actually pay money for
this bag. But the original Burking bag actually went up

(01:10:37):
for auction in Paris and it fetched over ten million
dollars for that for that bag. And you know, some
people didn't know this, but Jane Berkin actually passed away
in twenty twenty three, I think it was, and there

(01:10:57):
was no cause of death disclosed or anything. She was cremated.
She's buried with her daughter in the same grave as
her daughter, Kate Barry and and y'all are like, how
does Aggie know all this stuff? Well, I was a
fan of Jane Berkhen, so I've actually seen a lot
of her movies and stuff like that. But this was

(01:11:21):
extraordinary because again it's a handbag that was so designed
so that you could lock it with the lock. And
that's how you close the bag. You close it from
the outside. There's you know, you don't use zippers or
anything like that. You close it with the strap and

(01:11:42):
then you lock it and then you have the key,
and I'm like, you know, and people are like, and
then you can put that over on your overhead compartment
and blah blah blah and nothing comes out, and it's
very divided on the inside and there you know, there
was another bag that was fashioned after it. It was
called Kelly bag or something. And the difference is that

(01:12:03):
the Birken bag actually has two handles that Kelly has one.
And then they added the blah blah blah, you know whatever.
It one of the biggest things that they used. One
of the biggest hides they used was crocodile. And so
there was a time where actually Jane Burkin got in

(01:12:24):
touch with hermis and said, I need you to remove
my name from this bag because I don't like the
use of crocodile. You know that I haven't. She was
a big animal supporter. She was very much into that
and in constant you know, uh, trying to save all
the gators and whatever. I'm like, I'm surprised you didn't
move to Florida, but you know she was. But they

(01:12:49):
Hermais actually had to go through and change. It's you know,
the way they they got the harvested material in order
to please her so that they could keep the name.
That's how important this name became. And most people are like,
never even heard of Jane Berkin. I think I maybe

(01:13:10):
saw her in a movie back in the seventies, you know,
that kind of thing. But you know, she had a
very big career back in Europe.

Speaker 3 (01:13:18):
And so.

Speaker 2 (01:13:20):
And she had been the inspiration for this bag. And
I just found it kind of extremely ridiculous that this
bag went for over ten million dollars in a Paris
Southerby's auction and that's that's not including the you know,
the premium. So it's just.

Speaker 3 (01:13:42):
It's kind of ridiculous too because it's such an old bag.
Now it only plays Betamax, so it's not even good.

Speaker 2 (01:13:49):
The rumor was that Lauren Santez was actually one of
the undisclosed bidders for the bag, but her I guess
publicist or her assistant or whoever it is, you know,
her right hand actually came out and said no, she
did not bet on the back. And I was like,

(01:14:09):
I'm I'm not surprised. She probably has like five what
does she need with the original one?

Speaker 3 (01:14:15):
And that's exactly what an anonymous bidder would say, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:14:20):
But you know, when you think about the there are
certain pieces of iconic I guess accessories, iconic investments, iconic
dresses that you know, some people would actually go out
of their way to put a lot of money on

(01:14:41):
action and try and get Like I remember when everybody
was upset that one of the Kardashians. Kim Kardashian had
Marilyn Monroe's dress that Marilyn wore to sing Happy Birthday,
mister President. And but the reason that people were mad
was not because because she was able to purchase the dress,

(01:15:02):
but because she wore the dress. And after a while,
you know, dresses start to deteriorate and everything. So and
let's face it, this what's her name is a lot Curvier,
the Marinn Monroe, and there was there were issues with
the dress after she wore it, So that's why people

(01:15:22):
were kind of upset about that. But you know, there
are other investments that have been that that are very
famous and are being conserved, and some don't even see
daylight anymore because it is so detrimental to the fabric.
One of the best examples I can think of is
Queen Lily Ua Kalani's dress that had I think it

(01:15:47):
was Queen Lily Ulo Kalani. I'm not quite sure, but
I think it was hers. It had peacock feathers on it.
And so that dress is in a museum and no,
you cannot see it because it cannot be shown in daylight.
So you actually have there are special times that you
can go see the dress that will be on display,

(01:16:08):
but it's in a special room and there is absolutely
no UV light. You're not allowed to take any pictures,
you're not allowed to take your cameras in with you, nothing.
So I imagine that whoever bought this bag will want
it for a collection and not to use. But weirdly,

(01:16:29):
this bag has been in use through most people that
have owned it, they've actually used the bag. So it's
a very well made bag. I will say that because
it takes eighteen hours for one person to make one bag.

Speaker 3 (01:16:46):
Well there you go. So pure hand stitching there's what
I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 (01:16:52):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it. And these people, the artisans
that make the bags have to train for five years
before they can even attempt to make a burken bag.

Speaker 3 (01:17:04):
So just imagine if you've got one of those alligator
burkins that's going to be there.

Speaker 2 (01:17:09):
There was one that actually sold at auction, I want
to say, a couple of years ago. That was red
crocodile with diamonds and gold and the gold lock, and
it's sold for I think it was four hundred and
fifty and that one had diamonds.

Speaker 3 (01:17:33):
Young people got too much damn money.

Speaker 2 (01:17:36):
I do think so. But anyway, yeah, so, yes, I
will never own a Burken bag. As much as I
love my handbags and as much as I love my shoes,
I seriously doubt I will ever own one of these
because I cannot, in good conscience plunk down five figures

(01:17:56):
for something I'm going to throw makeup in and spilled
ink all over. I just can't do that.

Speaker 3 (01:18:04):
Well, you're gonna need a secondary interior bag that will
contain those things and keep your disaster from taking place.
You see, I can't have too much storage. Take it
the dude, I I guess.

Speaker 2 (01:18:22):
I mean, I'm quite content with the bag, the handbags
that I own and so. But but it's funny because you.

Speaker 3 (01:18:30):
Know, when you go as a coach, fendy, what's what's.

Speaker 2 (01:18:34):
Your Actually, hobo is my favorite friend. Yeah, hobo hobo bags? There?

Speaker 3 (01:18:44):
What do you got? A fandana on a stick?

Speaker 2 (01:18:49):
No, but they should come with that. They should. They
should have something like that that I took. I you
didn't notice. You have, absolutely, you do not notice anything
but the one that I took the seatback the last
time I was a hobo bag.

Speaker 3 (01:19:10):
You're right, I did miss that.

Speaker 2 (01:19:12):
You Oh my gosh. When I got my hair cut
and I took a picture, I put it in the group.
You said you have curly hair. I'm like, dude, we've
known each other. How long you've literally seen me live
and in person?

Speaker 3 (01:19:28):
Yeah? I know, but how many times did you have
to tell me my eyes are up here? That's where
your hair is at? You know? It doesn't like I
would notice your bag. I mean, come on, what color
was it? What made you think I know this?

Speaker 2 (01:19:52):
And with that, I think we should wind up the show.

Speaker 3 (01:19:58):
Every woman has it bag. It's not like did you
notice my computer bag? For instance?

Speaker 2 (01:20:05):
Yes? I did you have a dark black, black colored
computer bag?

Speaker 3 (01:20:10):
No, I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:20:12):
I'm totally kidding. See no idea.

Speaker 3 (01:20:15):
Think you there? We go?

Speaker 2 (01:20:19):
All right, fine, we're even.

Speaker 3 (01:20:21):
So you missed it. It's my all leather, pure satchel.

Speaker 2 (01:20:28):
I was actually paying attention to your hair, your beautifully
coafed hair. Brad with a good hair anyway, So take
a deep breath. That tell us where we can find you.

Speaker 3 (01:20:42):
I should see the main I got going now. I'm
like months over a cut. They have to go to
a garden center instead of a hair cuttery.

Speaker 2 (01:20:52):
But I got hedge Clippers.

Speaker 3 (01:20:55):
Yeah, exactly, round up, I might need some of that too. Well.
