Game of Crimes
A highlight from 122: Part 2: Jim Lawler Recruits Spies, Chases Nukes, and Tracks Bioweapons for CIA
"I got a question for you. So when you select a target, it sounds like you have to get pre -approval from Langley to recruit these people. Is that true? That's true. Yes. You get what we refer to as a provisional operational approval. In other words, you've developed this person, you've assessed that they have access. You don't recruit people who don't have access to something that we need. You've been approved. The boss, if you're working for a chief, he or she encourages you or discourages you. They may discourage you if they think it's a waste of time. But if it's somebody that we think has access, or at least potentially has access, then you're encouraged to do that. But you can't pitch somebody unless you've got this approval from headquarters to go ahead. Okay. So you've pointed out the vulnerabilities. Here is what you think you need to persuade this person. Maybe you need a certain amount of money for their retainer, and you get that. But you can't just willy -nilly go and pitch somebody without headquarters saying, yes, this is worthwhile. Do it. There was another spy, too, back in history, Adolf Tolkachev. He was recruited. He saved the same thing. His information saved billions of dollars in research for the Air Force on what were the actual capabilities versus what was being said. I don't think people realize sometimes the value of finding the right person. It's not just about, I mean, quite frankly, it is about national security. But part of national security is not spending money on things you don't have to and spending money then on things that are going to really make a difference, like Star Wars, the strategic defense initiative. But hey, let's circle back. Let's have a quick discussion about the polygraph before we leave this, because you're wondering our views and I'm wondering your view. So Murph, let's start with you. What did you think? We've all used polygraphs to one extent or another. You used them sometimes, too, to assess sources. But what's your feeling? Well, overall, I'm not a big fan of polygraphs. However, you learn to use them to fit the narrative that you want to put forth. So I'll give you an example. After Escobar was killed before I left Columbia, there was a walk -in came in and this fella had worked for Pablo. His story was he'd worked for Pablo. He had since found religion after Pablo's death and he wanted to atone for all his sins and his crimes included making payments to a third -world country president every few weeks to allow the Medellin Cartel aircraft to land on that country's military bases, unload, and then they were a transshipment point for cocaine coming into southern Florida. So that's something you want to believe, but you really have to vet the crap out of that. Well, this guy, because of the person that he was talking about, the president of this particular country, was so well known by our politicians in power at that time, not only did our polygraphers come in twice, but so did the agency's polygraphers come in twice. And some of the questions, you know, this guy was, this potential informant was able to describe the rooms that he met in at the military bases he went to where he would meet the president personally. He could tell you what color the floor was, what pictures were hanging on the wall, the shape of the table, how many chairs were at the table, all the things that would tell you that, hey, he's actually been in the room. And all four polygraph tests he passed. Now I don't put a lot of credit in a polygraph test, but when you're looking for an informant like that who could potentially lead to the indictment of a president of another country, you know, you tend to want to believe that. Now when we finally developed a case and were ready to indict that president, that's when we got a call from the White House saying, uh -uh, you're not like this guy, go find somebody else. So I don't put a lot of stock in polygraphs, just to be quite honest with you. I think they can be beat. I think people that have that particular sociopathic personality, like you said, it's not a lie detector. It's a stress detector. Well, if you practice, you could beat stress. Well, I'm a nightmare for polygraph, polygraphers, because I'm a long distance runner. I have a very low heart rate. I'm a non -reactor. If you said, is your name John Lewis? And I said, yes, it would still be Flatline. It's you know... Go back to the Seinfeld episode of when Jerry was going to get polygraphed by the sergeant at NYPD. He was dating and they're asking him if he ever watched Melrose Place. You know, he's trying, who can, who knows how to beat a polygraph? Who's the one person? George Costanza. So George says, it's not a lie if you believe it. You know? Well, that's true. I looked at the polygraph, I mean, three ways. One is teaching out there at NSA, but really there was a study done and actually it was with John Reed and Associates who I was instructing for at the time. They took 300 known cases from NSA and they went back and they looked at it and they said, look, if all you did was listen, you know, verbal only, they were accurate about 55 % of the time. If you watched body language, you were accurate 65 % of the time. If you combine verbal and nonverbal together, you were accurate about 83 % of the time. But they said a properly trained interviewer using both verbal and nonverbal communication armed with the case facts can correctly assess truth alert deceptive behavior 93 % of the time, which is more reliable than a polygraph. So I always looked at a polygraph like I looked at it as a tool. It is not the ultimate outcome. It went in the hiring process. If you could get an admission against interest, that saved you your time. Boom, you're done. You're gone, right? Yeah. If you get a confession. Yeah. Now, of course, people can give a false confession, but if you get a confession, that's pretty indicative. You can test, but you can test the confession then because you can test it like Merce said, hey, if you were in the room, then tell me what's the room like? Who did you hear? What's his nickname? But I always used, I looked at polygraph as a means to an end, not the actual end. We had a Kansas Bureau of Investigation. We had great polygraphers. They would come in and we would do it on criminal cases. And my whole thing was, it was, if you had a good pre -interview and to your point, structured the correctly, questions then it was the follow up to the interview. And a lot of times we would work with the KBI agents doing the polygraphs because we'd want them, we didn't want to break continuity. So we briefed them on the cases and they would come in and they could follow up on the cases. They knew where to go. And so we got several successful conclusions on that. Not because the polygraph said, oh, you're a liar. We didn't really care about that. What we cared about is did it provide cracks in the story, things that we could check out. And then the stress of being found out that, hey, now you're not being truthful. The only way to deal with that stress is to be truthful, to relieve that manifestation of that anxiety. So I'm with you. I think you can beat the polygraph. And I think the Russians spent a lot of time teaching some of their agents how to do that. You know, Alder James comes to mind. But other people? Yeah. Yeah. Like I said, it's a stress detector and the best polygraphers are basically good psychologists. They're observing the body language. They're observing the way what people say. They can they I mean, I can do that, too. I can tell. I mean, I don't need the machine. The machine is kind of adds to the technological little hocus pocus to this. It's like a tangible thing that they can see or something tangible. Americans love technology. They think they can tell you whether you're lying or not. And so it's part of the show. It's part of the thing, you know, to put people under stress. I refer to polygraphs as the colonoscopy of the soul.
The Hugh Hewitt Show: Highly Concentrated
Fresh update on "seinfeld" discussed on The Hugh Hewitt Show: Highly Concentrated
"So Larry David is the creator of Seinfeld, and he has his own spinoff show called Curb Your Enthusiasm. And Larry David is everyone's inner ego and inner id. It's a very cringe inducing show because he calls himself a social assassin. So when he's in a social context, he is that person who will call someone out for petty social infraction. Everything that we might otherwise roll our eyes at, be annoyed at. He takes it to the extreme. You know, someone cuts in line at a coffee shop or double park. So he's the person that will go into the coffee shop and say, who is double parked? You know, get out here like this is society. You don't get to do that. Like things that we don't we wouldn't you know, everyone of us wouldn't expend the emotional energy for. He's there for it. He like lives for those sort of like social. Yeah, that social friction. And so what's funny about Larry David? I argue that he is the foremost defender of civilization today, because if we don't want a nanny state or totalitarian regime micromanaging our everyday interactions and causing us through the force of law to think of others alongside of ourselves, we should be grateful that people like Larry David are harnessing the power of social shame to do it for us. And in the book, right before I get to the Larry David effect, I talk about modern examples in Paris and in New York City under Michael Bloomberg's mayoral ship, where politeness, basic courtesy to others was legislated. It's so you have the posters reproduced from France, which I've never seen before. And that was another illumination for me. Tell people about the French poster campaign. So the French campaign, French plaintiffs campaign was one of the more successful ones like Larry David. The French also harnessed social shame and apparently the French who are not known for being the most courteous and people kind of internationally known as being a little bit rude, but apparently the French had had enough of their fellow Frenchmen, especially in the Parisians. And so the French city council, they instituted this poster campaign that was on every subway and every subway station, analogizing common, discourteous actions to different animals saying, you know, don't act like this gross sloth who's just like lounging on a subway bench. You know, don't spit on the subway station. Don't do X, Y, Z. And it was saying, you know, let's be civil down the line. Let's think of others alongside of ourselves. And that actually worked. That poster campaign, it got people to think like, yeah, I don't want to be like the beasts. You know, I'm part of civilization and I'm going to do a little bit better. But so that was one of the more effective autocratic attempts to improve civility. Some of the least effective ones were Michael Bloomberg's politest campaign in New York City where, you know, he apparently decided that New Yorkers had become too impolite for him to tolerate. And so he instituted all these fines and laws that you could be fined $50 for yelling at your kid's softball game, for putting your feet on the subway bench, for, you know, doing these common, for tweeting or texting in Broadway or at the theater. And it was an utter failure because people don't like to be micromanaged. New Yorkers did not like to be civilized by their local government. And it was impossible to enforce. That was an utter failure. But the point is, we should be thankful that Larry Davids and the world exist to keep us in line, keep us in check, because if we don't, it gets bad enough that we are consistently and chronically discourteous enough that autocrats past and present will be tempted to control ourselves for us. Now, it's one of many brilliant insights. But I wonder, have you heard from Larry David yet? Because I don't know that anyone has ever recognized mind. What's it called? What's the name of the series? Curb Your Enthusiasm? Yeah, Curb Your Enthusiasm. I just call it The Larry David Show. I've never watched a full episode. I've seen like two minutes of it. And my kids want us to watch it. I'm just not a Larry David guy. I like Seinfeld. But now I'm going to have to. And I think it's an original insight. Was it original to you what the show's genius is? I think I think the show is. And actually, I think I think it is original to me. I actually have a running notepad on my phone of Larry David vignette. I hope he reads the book. I hope people give it to. I hope he brings me on as a consulting writer, because anytime in a social interaction, I see something happen. I'm like, you know, I'm going to let this go. But Larry David wouldn't. And here's how it would play out. I have this like running list of all these like little vignette. And that's how the show is done. They have it. They put you in a context. It's mostly improv. It's not scripted, right? They put you in a context. They say, OK, here's the premise of the skit. Now, let's see how it plays out. You know, here's your character. And so it would just be so much fun. He's he's absolutely delightful. It's hysterical. It is. It is. You know, it's a comedy of manners. It really is. And, you know, we only we don't appreciate the power and the importance of social norms until they're broken. And that's the power of Curb Your Enthusiasm. It's all a parody of what happens when when social norms are broken and how society and flourishing crumbles as a result.
The Mason Minute
Spilled Coffee (MM #4601)
"The Mason Minute with Kevin Mason. Back in 1993 -94, McDonald's was involved in a lawsuit over their coffee. That's why we have those little disclaimers on all coffee cups now that say caution, hot contents or some form of that. Yeah, the McDonald's coffee lawsuit is very fascinating reading and it's been parodied on most Seinfeld and a host of other TV shows and movies and things like that throughout the years. You would think by now places that served coffee would make sure it didn't happen again. But just recently in Georgia, $3 million awarded to a Dunkin Donuts patron who had scalding coffee spilled into their lap. It's been 30 years since the original McDonald's lawsuit. Come to find out back before that lawsuit, there would be hundreds of people a year who were scalded by coffee and never filed a lawsuit. At this point, places that serve coffee should know better. Even if you've got disclaimers on the cups, you've got to watch how hot it gets and more importantly, make sure you have a cup that has a lid that stays on. Lids fall off these cheap cups all the time now. Three million dollars later, a Dunkin Donuts franchisee is feeling the pain.

The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Jack Wagner
"Folks, welcome to the Eric Metaxas show, sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals. There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals. Visit legacypminvestments .com. That's legacypminvestments .com. Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready to listen to a man of grace, sophistication, integrity, and whimsy? Well, so are we. But until such a man shows up, please welcome Eric Metaxas. Hey there, folks, welcome to the program. Hey, Chris Himes, are you there? I am. I am. Where are you? Well, I'm at home, but my background green screen is a studio in the city, so I'm both clever, tricky and deceptive of you. I am in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Michigan. I used to come to Grand Rapids a lot, but I think the last few years have been so crazy. In any event, I'm here for an event tonight at Cornerstone University, which is a wonderful Christian university. I actually did not know of it, and I was shocked once I realized how big it is, how amazing it is, how they are holding the line the way a lot of Christian universities like Wheaton are not holding the line like it's it's really encouraging when you meet some good guys. So Cornerstone University here in Grand Rapids, there's a big event tonight. It's kind of a big deal of eleven hundred people. And we're talking about the future of the church from my perspective in America, the future of the church. And and I let's see tomorrow I fly to Dallas where I have an event Christ for the Nations, a big event on Saturday night. Then I fly to San Antonio, which Texas is so big that you could not walk or take a bus. You got to get on a plane to go from Dallas to San Antonio. And then so there's a wonderful pregnancy gala event, pregnancy center gala event in San Antonio. And then I'm flying back to Dallas for the Socrates in the city stuff that's going to be at the Fort Worth Club that is totally sold out. Amazing. So a lot of stuff ahead. We are doing a fun way to cut you off, but I can't to compare you to to Taylor Swift in so many ways. You're you're like in a different town every day. And, you know, it's it's you need a tour bus and a hair cross between Taylor Swift and Johnny Appleseed and a Methodist circuit writer. But but I but seriously, it's crazy. And I I was going to say right now we are doing a fundraiser for the Alliance Defending Freedom who fight in court for your religious liberties and free speech. These are American heroes. And we've been pushing this really hard and almost no one has donated anything. And I don't know if it's because you hate me. No, Eric, it's not that it's just because the war, the Taylor Swift concert tickets are really expensive. And or is it because of that? Yeah. But I want to say, listen, if you cannot afford to give to the Alliance Defending Freedom, I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to those of you who can afford to give something, which is most of you. And I want to say that there are very few places you can give that are, you know, how do I put it? There's there's no downside here that they are battling in the courts for religious liberty and freedom of speech. I mean, I don't know if you go to Metaxas talk dot com, which I believe you're biblically obliged to do that. I don't go to Metaxas talk to come. You'll see the banner at the top. It's right at the top. But you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to have on Jack Wagner. He is one of the senior counsel, one of the one of the, you know, principal figures who is fighting for our liberties at the Alliance Defending Freedom doing so. Like for next to nothing, you know, he could make a lot of money doing other stuff. But there are a lot of heroes at the Alliance Defending Freedom. I said, let's let's get one of these guys on. So we'll have him on in a couple of seconds. And he can he can get into the weeds of of some of the great stuff they're doing. It is phenomenal. Just phenomenal. Some Kristen Wagner is the head of Alliance Defending Freedom. She's amazing. She sent out an email this morning about the Jack Phillips case. He continues to have to fight in the courts. And guess what? It's the Alliance Defending Freedom that's fighting for him. So, Eric, I was just going to mention we have a Dutch pastor who, you know, was basically imprisoned. And we people don't realize what it's like in other countries live just to your faith publicly and privately and how good we have it here. But that can change. And as and people are trying to change it. You know what we are going to maybe an hour or two today will play the interview that we did yesterday with Pastor. It's actually the Danish, not Dutch Danish Pastor Torben. His story is just amazing. It's amazing what happened to him in Denmark and then in the United States, he came here looking for religious asylum because he was being persecuted. So maybe an hour or two, we can play that story. This is real, folks. This is real. We have an opportunity to do something about it. That's exciting. I want to be real clear. The fact that we still can fight is a huge thing. But then we must fight. We must, must, must do everything we can. There's a lot we can do. One of those things is giving to the Alliance Defending Freedom. That's just one thing. But I beg you folks to go to the website, our website, MetaxasTalk .com, click on the banner. There's all kinds of stuff there. I put it on Twitter today, but it's important. So before we get to Jack Wagner, everybody's talking about the fact that Kevin McCarthy was shown the door. He was the Speaker of the House, but he was shown the door and he is no longer the Speaker of the House. This is historic. And a lot of people I what I find interesting is a lot of the the right people are really angry about it. People that I kind of thought, you know, I, I I suspected that they were not exactly where I am and where a lot of us are in the country. And and so we have them fulminating. So on Twitter, I put out a tweet that it's a Seinfeld quote. Well, it's actually reference to a Seinfeld quote. And it says what I think I said on the program yesterday when we started. The swamp was very angry last night, my friends, like an old man ordering soup at a deli. And I and I had a gift or whatever they call it, a GIF of Newt Gingrich. You know, obviously very upset.
Mark Levin

"Now going to be airing on Saturday at 9 p .m. Eastern Time following my show and I think that's a fantastic one -two punch Mr. producer don't you? So it's a great honor for me to have Brian with me on Saturday nights on our one -two team and he's the nicest guy in the world too. There were a handful of people who congratulated me when I expanded our program from once to twice on the weekends actually I didn't Suzanne Scott did and Brian Kilmeade was one of them. Of course brother Hannity. And the third one there may have been one or two other but the waters. There's another fantastic guy and really just has a lot of class So I just wanted to point that out. Most of the accolades came from people like you you folks out there and you know people from everyday life and I just want to thank all of you very very much. By the way Mr. Producer did Colby Hall Did Colby Hall aka Colin Hall? Did he even mention it? You know I'm desperate to be mentioned by mediocre right over there which is founded by Dan Abrams. You can't miss Dan Abrams. He is the Seinfeld of the courtroom.
ACG - The Best Gaming Podcast
A highlight from TBGP #407 Starfield - Reviews - 2023 - Blast OFF!
"We're live. What's up, everybody? This is Kerik with ACG and I'm here with Abzi and Silver. I mean, not Abzi and Silver, Abzi and Johnny. We just talked about Silver, Abzi and Johnny for the best gaming podcast. This is already going. This is already going really well. And then right before that, Abzi's like, I hate the chat. I hate you right now. Dude. Oh, my God. The conversations you're having. Oh, what is fighting over the console? Sorry, Phil. I don't know what the fuck is happening. Guess what? You can't fight over it because it's not on one of the consoles. So Merry Christmas. Close your eyes and imagine 60 FPS. That's what PlayStation owners can do. Regardless of that. Sup, everybody? Welcome to the best gaming podcast. We are going to be talking about Starfield. We're going to be talking about a couple of indie games as well. Two thousand twenty three. The rest of two thousand twenty three. Our thoughts on Starfield, what it does right, what it does wrong. Some of the review shenanigans that went on and and thought processes around that. Abzi's got some questions about game development or not a question, but a discussion he wants to have about game development, which is a good one, I think sort of pops up, especially when you look at titles like this versus versus like No Man's Sky. So we've got a bunch to talk about. It's going to be a busy one. I hope everybody in here is having a good time. If you get a chance, tweet out that we're doing this, please put it on Facebook. My Space Geocities, Alt Vista, Dave, Sega, Saturn page. First page I ever saw on the Internet when I was a child, I used my Sega Saturn with my broadband adapter, but it wasn't. It was a fifty six K plugged in the country and I remember Cadiz and I dialed into the Internet and we found a website that says Dave, Sega, Saturn page. And I remember just realizing I was talking to somebody from like across the distance on the Internet. It was that moment, that childhood moment where you're like, wow, that's awesome. What have we been playing besides Starfield? Nothing. What the fuck kind of question is that, man? I just figured I'd ask it, but Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate this morning. Baldur's Gate. There we go. Baldur's Gate. Yeah. So with Baldur's Gate, Johnny finished it. Done. How many stars in a one to eight scale would you give one to wait? You have to make it a weird one and it's stars, it's French and a grading system like you guys use for school where you have like different grades. No. What would you give it? Like, what would you say? I give it I give it like a seven out of eight stars in your in your rating system. They're seven out of eight just improvised with one going away because of the performance and bug issues in Act three. There were performance issues, mostly, to be honest, the narrative becomes a bit too loose in Act three for me. We were just talking about this. It's a little bit like a Pokemon game where you just run around the town talking to everybody, going everywhere. And that's how you progress, because there isn't that much structure compared to the other acts where it's pretty much like you understand, you know, what you're doing more or less, you know, the points you have to hit. So that was an issue. But I have to say Act three also has some of the best shit in the game. And I'm sorry for cursing, but just for emphasis, because we don't we're very clean. We're basically the Seinfeld of we really are the Seinfeld of podcasts, for sure. No, continue. Yeah. So some of the best moments in the game are in Act three. And it's a very content dense area where you just continuously find amazing stuff and throughout the game, start to come to completion. And, you know, each character has their thing going on. Right. So all of it is done super well. And it's a very interesting story to the very end. Really, you're engaged and you're feeling like your choices really mattered. So seventeen thousand Indians, which one did you get? No, I'm just joking.

Twitter begins removing blue checks from users who don't pay
"Twitter has started removing blue checks from users who don't pay. The blue check mark helps verify the user's identity to distinguish them from fakes since Elon Musk bought Twitter. He's talked about charging for the blue check after several false starts. Twitter has started removing it from those who aren't paying for it. The cost of keeping the marks range from $8 a month for individual web users to a starting price of a $1000 a month to verify an organization since Musk took over Twitter does not actually verify the individual accounts to ensure they are who they are. Some high profile users no longer have the blue check, including Beyoncé, Pope Francis, and former president Donald Trump. Seinfeld actor Jason Alexander pledged to leave the platform if Elon Musk takes away his blue check. I'm Ed Donahue.

A Warning About the Rapidly-Declining Global Power of the U.S. Dollar
"In most circumstances, I will say, you know what? Stupidity and ineptitude usually to blame. For when things go wrong, typically in life. There's a great, there's a great, there's a great scene. Ryan, get it, please. In Seinfeld. All roads lead to Seinfeld at some point. Where uncle Leo and Jerry are sitting in a diner. And uncle Leo gets a sandwich. And it's not the way he likes it, and he goes to Jerry and he says, that cook is probably an anti semite. And it's, of course, makes Seinfeld so brilliant. It's upper east side Jews making fun of upper east side Jewish culture. It's self deprecation. That's Larry David's words, not my own. So it's hilarious, right? The point is that, no, the chef is probably not an anti semite. He was probably just an apt or clumsy. In most circumstances, there is not an agenda or a nefarious campaign to undercook your meat. Or to try to have, that does happen at times. But I'll be very honest. That is my general rule for when things go wrong. It's a general rule when things are not the way they should be. There is no such explanation when it comes. To the obliteration of the dollar as the world reserve currency. This is not stupidity, this is not benefit of the doubt times. This is sabotage. This is obliteration. This is an attempt to usher in a new world order. A great reset. Something from Davos or Klaus Schwab, exactly what that is. We have little bits and pieces. Nobody knows the whole picture. If anybody tells you I got the whole picture, they're puffing out their chest.

"Michael's exit from the show? And number ten in WWE name three wrestlers portrayed by Charles Wright. Number ten in WWE name three wrestlers portrayed by Charles Wright. Those are all your questions for today on your special birthday episode Frank, Stephanie said to make the wrestling questions difficult. So hopefully those were tough for you, but maybe not too tough for a guy like you. We'll be right back with the answers right after this? We are back wheeling and dealing just like Frank the $1 million man at his day job with the answers to his birthday quiz. Let's see what you got right and wrong on these ten questions written just for you, Frank. Number one, what pay per view was the origin of NWO and WCW that was bash at the beach. Bash at the beach. Number two, who plays Robert California on the office, James Spader, right before he did The Blacklist, James Spader. Number three on The Sopranos where his sail murdered for being a rat on Tony's boat. Tony's boat, they get rid of Sal, who has a much more colorful nickname on the show. Number four, what book was overdue on Seinfeld, which led to Jerry being interrogated by a library cop named bookman, tropic of cancer was the book tropic of cancer. Number 5, what seldom shown character fills in for Pam while she's in New York. On the office, that's Ronnie. Ronnie. Number 6, who was the last member of the $1 million corporation and WWF under Ted dibiase. That was the ringmaster AKA Stone Cold Steve Austin. That was his last big gimmick before he turned into stone cold and that was under Ted dibiase, the ringmaster. Number 7, who did Hulk Hogan face at WrestleMania 19, Vince McMahon himself, the chairman of the board, so to speak, Vince McMahon. Number 8, what is Cramer's mom's name on Seinfeld Babs? And we find out Kramer's first name is Cosmo on the Babs episode. Number 9, what season of The Office features Michael's exit from the show, the 7th season, the two more without him, which are good on their own merits. And number ten in WWE name three wrestlers portrayed by Charles Wright, Charles Wright, most famous for portraying these three, I would think, and probably played maybe three or four more of lesser note, but we had papa shango, comma, and The Godfather. Now you could have said the good father when he was in the right to censor. You could have said the comma had a longer name. I forget what it was, general comma, maybe. Papa shango was like the voodoo, which man. And he's definitely had some more, but that's Charles Wright who I say probably most famously is The Godfather. That was probably the longest character he played. But there you go. Those are your questions for today, Frank. Hope you had a good time playing along with those buddy and I hope you had a great, great birthday weekend. We have a fact of the day for you, the fact of the day is American car horns beep in the tone of F if you didn't know that. Now you know. Thanks for listening. Thanks for telling a friend.

"What it be and welcome to another episode of the trivia with buds podcast, I'm your host Ryan buds. Thanks so much for checking out the show and thanks for being born Frank. It's my friend Frank's birthday and I just want to say happy, happy, happy birthday, Frank. Here's a message from Stephanie before we get to your very fun customized quiz with things you love, which are also things I love, which is going to be a fun episode. Frank is the most generous person in works incredibly hard to take care of everyone. We are all lucky to have him in our lives and love him dearly. Happy birthday, Frank. What a nice message from Stephanie. There you go, Frank. And today's episode all about you, the $1 million man is his nickname at work because he makes those big money deals and Stephanie actually sent me a picture of Frank with a $1 million belt over his shoulder and it doesn't look like the kids plastic one that I have. It looks like a real one that you buy off the WWE shop website. So awesome, Frank, I think we'd be very fast Friends. Let's jump into a quick warmup card here before we get into questions on things you love, Frank. How about this one? For movies, name 6 films in which aliens speak English. Wow, that's very specific. For television, for TV shows on which a character is from the Midwest, for literature, two titles in which a character owns more than two cats for music, four bands or performers that are known for their outlandish stage and makeup costumes. And for miscellaneous two celebrity pets. Speaking of crazy makeup and costumes, I was watching the calf and Kim reunion special. It's like a two hour special on Netflix. If you ever watched that show, definitely go watch the reunion. If you've never watched it, you should start Catherine Kim from the beginning. I think they're all on Netflix to this day. It's a really funny character driven sitcom that's kind of shot like The Office, like documentary style. But it came out 20 years ago, which is why they did the reunion special, but highly recommend it, fell asleep watching it last night, gotta finish the second half tonight, but it's good stuff. Just like Frank, good stuff. We're gonna jump into your quiz right now, Frank, here we go. All right, Frank first question for you and for everybody listening that loves the topics you pick for your birthday here. Number one, what pay per view was the origin of the NWO and WCW. Number one, what pay per view was the origin of the NWO in WCW number one.

NHL Player Under Attack for Refusing to Wear Pride Jersey
"If you're not following the story in hockey, there is a hockey player again. I don't watch hockey at all. It's become a completely irrelevant sport. I don't wish them well. I think some of the athletes are really great people, but they've been captured by the very same woke virus. I hope the NHL goes through some restructuring and I think that's going to require some misery and pain. If any of you are avid hockey fans, you're going to have to explain to me exactly what about hockey and the values or the lack thereof of the National Hockey League that speaks to you. I hope their stadiums remain empty and I hope they go bankrupt because what they are doing is so aggressive. It is so hostile. It is so insistent that if you do not subscribe to the chemical castration of children to the trans agenda, we are going to isolate you, we're going to punish you, again, these are the people that the best way to explain the kind of new alphabet mafia is the people that came out of the closet now want you to live in the closet. It's not about inclusivity. It's about revenge. Okay, so you have Ivan provorov. Okay, he refused in the warm ups to wear a rainbow flag Jersey because he said it goes up against his Russian Orthodox religion, which is exactly right. And he also refused to use their hockey stick, and immediately it's exactly like that Seinfeld episode. What do you mean you don't want to wear the ribbon? Do you not support gay people? And the pressure of the entire national news media found another person to hate. Oh wow, he's Russian too. I bet he's Friends with Putin. And immediately, all of the otherwise miserable. Actually, they're still miserable. Chattering class of the twitterati and the mainstream press goes and attacks Ivan provorov. Let's play cut 60 NHL flyers defenseman. On refusing to wear the rainbow Jersey for warm ups, God bless him. Seriously. Play cut 60. Everybody, I respect everybody's choices. My choice is to stay true to myself and my religion. That's all I'm going to say.

"That was a food one. I'm kind of interested in the food ones. And what is a babka just a pastry? Or is it a bread? Well, as a Jew, I know every single one of these things. It's like, it's like a hearty bread. You can get bobcat. My girlfriend and I made a bobcat that was like more savory and there was like pistachio and peppery things, but it can be very dessert based. Okay. But it says, it's different than challah, though, right? It's not. Yes, the holla is just like, it's just a bread. It's incredible, fluffy, it's light. Because it could be a nice soup. Maybe, or just as, you know, you're having a nice meal, you're gonna rip off and I enjoy a hollow. But that could be like, that's a special bread that's either sweet or savory. That someone is brought. And a chocolate babka is, of course, the gold standard of babka. God knows. Amazing. It's the best. It must be. So they just deal with Seinfeld dealt with customer service. And just the little frustrations. Right. In the world, that stand up comedians that was Seinfeld's voice of Larry David's voice and it just launched so many things. Every time I talk about every time I talk about complaining about try to find a new airplane bit or try to find a customer service but it's all like, well, how do I differentiate this from what has been done? They did it. Right, right. Well, and that is, it is hard when there's these sweeping topics that seem to have been nailed, right? Like someone has done that, my classic example is colorization. Ted Turner invented the colorization of movies, right? Old black and white movies are like, people don't like to watch black and white movies.

"And if I run the light, I've done a 7. Oh my God. I was once hosting at west side comedy club in New York. And Jerry Seinfeld right before tweeted, I'm going to go to west side comedy club, but tweeted the Twitter for the west side at yearend in LA a weird. And so west side in urine had to clarify Seinfeld is not coming here. Right. Then Seinfeld just tweeted in New York and I'm hosting and so people start realizing this mid show that Seinfeld's coming. And the number of yarmulkes that came into this club, it was because we were on the upper west side. So we were all there. And it was so funny to watch just this just crowd of Jews just come and mid show so excited. To see poor things. They didn't get to they didn't get to see them. So did you ever write a spec? Wait, you're probably not old enough to that that would have been a spec. I wrote a check. That's so cool. It's terrible. So it's not too bad. Well, neither one of us, I wrote a spin city spec and at a Seinfeld spec. And the Seinfeld spec, the only thing I liked out of it wasn't even mine. It was my buddy Jim, who watches it all the time. And I wrote on his idea. And the idea was that. George gets on the bus and the bus driver is a really big belt buckle, and George makes a crack about it, and the bus driver gets really mad at him. And so the rest of the show, George keeps buying bigger and bigger belt buckles. And gets and tries to find that bus driver again. I like that a lot. Right, because there's nothing there. That's all it is. It's just him humiliating himself with a giant belt buckle. Did you ever read the spec script by Billy? What's his name? He did a Seinfeld the day after 9 11. Oh no. Oh, you read this..

"It's just in complaining. System doing bits. But that cast is incredible. That cast is incredible. Yeah, he got Jason Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Michael Richards, to literally, and everybody else was and granted they were sketch or they were improv, but they weren't stand ups and trying to teach a stand up comic how to act is its own project. And the fact that it was successful created all of the 1990s where everybody got or many, many deals were cut with comics that were not who couldn't even act to the level of Jerry Seinfeld, right? Or they didn't do the casting right around them to hold them up. Of course, of course. And Jerry notoriously, he really talks, he doesn't respect acting very much. He doesn't respect the concept of acting. And I started as an actor. I'm one of these improv. Acting. I went to college for musical theater. I wanted to be Daniel Day-Lewis. I was an actor. I studied all the teachers. And Seinfeld notoriously just kind of goes like, hey, you memorize your lines. What are you going to trophy? You said someone else's lines. Wow, nice impression. Thank you. Thank you. I believe I have auditioned a couple of times. When you first started doing stand up, did you find yourself doing a little bit of his observational style? I think a little, I think I'm more like sounded too much like mulaney, but mulaney definitely feels like of the trajectory of Seinfeld. In terms of that kind of voice. And you have to find your own voice eventually anyway. So you're going to sound like somebody. Yeah. I think that's the thing about Seinfeld is just like, he was so, you know, part of it feels hacky now that idea of like, what's the deal with, but he really crystallized some version of that. Attack you because it's been hacked. I mean, there was him and a handful of guys were doing that super observational version. And it was set up punch set a punch. And he was in that era when it was you were supposed to get something like a laugh every second and a half, and there was this in 60 seconds at every minute. You were supposed to get something like 30 laughs. And you're like, well, you're out of your goddamn mind. And but it was because that was his thing. But I remember the first time I saw and I didn't even see it, I heard Richard Pryor. A Richard Pryor album, and we're talking 15 years ago. I never listened to stand up. So I'm listening to this thing, and I was like, oh, I see where everything else came from. Right? I mean, there's so many guys who came from that place. And then made it their obviously, right? Like Bernie Mac and all of the kings of comedy. They're all doing some version of Richard Pryor. And until they had their own voice. But Richard Pryor, like open the door..

Real Housewife Bethany Frankel Has Proclaimed New York City 'Unsafe'
"There's still maybe some of you who are on the fence with a New York City will make it back or not. Well, wonder no more because real housewife Bethany frankel began her unfortunate truth rant on Instagram and told everybody that the city is unsafe. So if you're on the fence, well now you know. You know, what do you do now if you're planning on visiting the Big Apple in your future? On one hand, you got the ultimate New York and Jerry Seinfeld who wrote an essay back in the summer of 2020 when people said COVID room to city. It's over. Jerry Seinfeld said, you don't have to always come back. We'll always come back. Look at that. What do you worry about? What's with this COVID? He's one of those guys. You can't help but try to imitate once you hear his name. What? Anyhow, he was like, don't leave the city. It's gonna be fine. But Bethany frankel doubled down. Especially in light of that psycho Frank James shooting ten on the Brooklyn subway train, she said the subway situation is terrifying, as if she takes it. And New York is not what it used to be. New York is not safe. Bethany's got an 11 year old daughter and admitted she can not help but be the dorky parent who doesn't want her kid walking around the city. It's scary and I have no choice if we're dealing with Manhattan and to be a helicopter parent. And I chose to not be in New York City to be honest, I think it's scary and we have to talk about it, she continued.

Reruns (MM #3909)
"The NASA minute. With Kevin mason. Way back in the days when we only had three TV channels, we used to have to deal with reruns come the holiday season. They only make so many shows each year, so interspersed throughout the year they'd have repeat episodes, and we hated those because we didn't know what to watch then. Our favorite show wasn't on them. We'd already seen that episode so why watch again? Well, I don't know if you've paid attention to network TV these days, but we don't have as many reruns anymore. They basically cram two shows into a period. So a Thursday at 7 p.m. show or Thursday at 8 p.m. shut runs, a partial season, and then they have a new Thursday at 7 or 8 p.m. show. That means no reruns. But the problem, you used to one thing and then have to switch and change to something else. It changes your viewing habits, multiple times a year. I'll be honest, I don't watch as much TV, and what do I watch when I do? Well, I watch reruns. Yeah, I watched streamed shows of all the old favorites I used to watch and things like Seinfeld, things like Friends, things like The Big Bang Theory, all those comedies, and what are you watching? Reruns. I remember when we just hit three choices, it was much simpler, even though much more boring at times.

"And so my daughter. And i did this together. And she was the audio engineer percent. And i was the voice person and the best part about that was we would have moments where i would see a line of description and i and i think i don't know what that means. What is going on and My daughter kira. She cited so sh-. I would say you know what's really happening in this. What's going on. Is this really true. And so we were able to do some q on the fly And it would go the other way too aware. I would read something and she'd be you know the media is playing as as i'm reading and she can see that video so she would say. I have no idea what this we need to change this. How about we make it say you know such and such so So it was sort of a back and forth and it and then again cure. And i just work really well together. So part of what made this show so much fun was just being able to do it with her Together we had a blast and we we would make fun of the music and don't put on. Don't down when we feel like sing. Knew each other and little seinfeld band and it was just such a fun process and when you say the process. What i'm hearing is as your daughter was playing the role of the engineer that that collaboration must have affected your performance in other words head. You've been of in. You know the for the the way that you and she worked together. That collaboration her focusing on the engineering side you focusing on the voice in both of you contributing to each other's knowledge and making it better that it made it better am i. Am i getting that right. Yeah and i would say that there were things we learned as we went along the software was certainly new for both of us and In those beginning seasons He would put all of these credits at the end..

"So i that's how i saw it. I mean the the kinda a just to layer onto a. You're both saying but maybe especially when rebecca's was noting the good thing about this moment were in is if this is not the the american movie that really juices you up just like wait for the next one to come along. You know what i'm saying. We have like three or four. Additional ones in the pipeline. And i mean whether you're talking about like you know. Ms marvel or whether you're talking about In the end the marvels right. She's on the big screen. Hilly seinfeld seinfeld is going to be in in hawkeye. Although much of explicitly being defined as asian american You've got The turtles coming. You know you want if you want your agents to be like god like just crazy situations but yeah i mean you know it's it's really amazing That we're in this moment. And i i guess part of the reason why we don't have to sweat quite as much that feeling like these don't have to be the one and only anymore. That's that's a big thing. Yeah and i. I i kinda hated that feeling of like all we have to like. You know we have to like it no matter what you know because it was the only but now that you mentioned he's not have miss more will coming out we have you know attorney and and then we could even say randall. Park aquaman humorless superhero. He's in it you know. There's an the the fact that i do. But i do feel like sometimes it's just like all. Oh if if shanxi doesn't succeed and they're gonna shut us out and i. I just don't like having that feeling anymore. And i think it's still very much a feeling i have about like if x. doesn't succeed then we're not gonna get y and z rock. We're gonna be. We're no longer going to be able to see our stories anymore but there's a scarcity mentality right sort of like this idea of like we. We only get this one like maybe people think that. That's i feel like we need to get away from that and also we need to stop holding up like this being the one that's gonna carry everything like no one film should have to shoulder that i said that again. I said that with crazy rejection. So i feel like we're a couple movies down the line. Where maybe we can we. Maybe we've sort of trained ourselves to really think like. Oh yeah they're we have room to breathe and have different kinds of stories within our community..

"He did again until he was eight years old. We're talking to book. Bought a house in the early sixties and lived there the rest of his life so at least able to do that. And i guess that's that's a a measure of success there that's really actually bought a house in burbank. California with a two bedroom house. Nineteen sixty two and at some point when he was able to to to sell the house and he could have sold it and bought a bigger house. You said you know what unhappy in this house. I love the neighborhood. Actually ron howard was was a neighbor. His parents and He enjoyed watching ronnie grew up and he he just. He's he loved the neighborhood. He got involved in in the public schools volunteering. They said i. I don't wanna leave. And and he was there again until until his passing. You talk in the book when he went to audition for the uncle leo Part on seinfeld. And i guess us a little bit intimidated doing any sort of that whole hello jerry. Kind of thing that that's kind of what got him. I got in the part anyway but that kind of gave them the character didn't it when he just added that line right i did. He did thought that was. That was pretty funny. Nineteen again low. So yeah i teach he just did it on the spot again. He gets on some comedy work as you mentioned In the sixties and the seventies and the eighties he was doing a lot of these heavy roles And so he just he decided okay. I'll give this a shot. And he came up with this. Hello and he was. He was sort of surprising. I think he thought again. That's what kind of dog him. The gig but really jerry. Seinfeld say to me know i had. I had lennon mind. The entire time for roy became position But it was funny because one side is okay but if you did it. So that's that's terrific and we're gonna use that those adalah holkar has an uncle or some kind of a little bit like unbelie- don't they gotta take. Obviously he's he. He wasn't but was a different guy. Uncle leo character very kind of introspective. And giving like you said he worked with children so that character wasn't like him in real life. I guess many way right at all not at all dollars. It's very funny because language very understated guy. just a real In in quiet in speaking with him and doing the interviews For for the book was very soft spoken And then have guides being voice and gesture kind of person so so that was really put on and jason alexander said to me to you know. Let me touch. Keep hit contemporary guy on like uncle leo. So let's say it was funny but he was. He was a good actor really was playing all those parts of the area to do so many different types of roles bigger small and movies and Went on to play a part in. Everybody loves to talk about it in the book about. He had one of the leads but they put him in as kind of knuckle leo carrico. He's a friend of the fathers right but We'll similar the way he kinda to raymond. I guess that's kind of the offshoot of the jerry. Hello right exactly. I carving that was exactly the off shoot it it. It sort of became his paying and And so he figured okay. It's working people like it and another show. Everybody loves raymond people come. It's garbage for just waiting to the book. A guy that you know you met him on. The street spent a couple of minutes talking to you said a little news that guy absolutely he wise he really wise is i mentioned hughes's soft spoken guy he was willing to do that alo- or the hey you're or whatever end and really just past the time of day with with with whoever came up and i had a lot of meals potanin asner we go out together because that has a close friend of lens they were about forty years and i wrote the ford for the book and the two of them together of course.

"I'm so happy and everything else and he was so nice to me so that was the story that seinfeld was asking for jerry was asking for last night. That summers had no idea right but that was it now. He also went on and said he wished knew that interaction what it was because because he said that's where comedy comes from moments like that like misunderstandings and things and that's why i wanted to know about it. The comedic genius i am. I understand bottle. And by the way the reason i said that i feel like deja vu is because jerry seinfeld once said craig's name. Yeah on steve somers. You know who i think. Is that the guy in the morning. credit card and now here i am reort years later and i feel like the same things happening all over again. He's not saying anything about you. Know we we. He and i talked. Oh you did. Yeah we talked and he goes look straight guy always got sixty percent of the gate. I totally agree with him on that. So cool. I'm sure it was a cool moment for craig. It's a cool moment for me. Jerry seinfeld says you name. He says you listening. So i don't know if at some point greg geneidi. Yes there you go now. So what do i do from here. Because he was legitimately interested in knowing that story out so he was asking and then he didn't get the right answer and he asked again. He said i'd love to know because this comedy comes from. This is what he said. Where do i go from here. Do we just leave it alone to. We hope that. here's me. Tell the story again. Do you have a contact for him. So i can tell them the story. Where do we go from here. I have a guy that i that you could have an email to a guy to the key to the guy. The guy who's got a double guy guided guided guy. Guy may get the second guy and then eventually it will get on the first guy. I them provide the guy the second guy. There's a guy that he has. Its has mango. Yeah now is this a worthy reach out moment because he feels like he was actually interested. They at least to me. It sounded like if you played the second half of that. But steve just goes on and on greg if you played the second half of it where he says i'd love to know those. I'd love to know what that interaction was. Yeah he have just been saying that on the air and he was like jail here it who go enlist do it and he did you he could have just been saying say inst- totally pooh poohing this on you. I mean he brought up his go to the go to the second part of that. After steve's done with own anything. And then was larry and two. I said Invention team and then steve awkwardly brings up at the very end to after he hangs up. We'll rear not your thing. He brings us the whole thing about the email again. Like why is he bringing this up again. You can ruin it..

Please give me a break the rest of them and hand over that way. We'll be right back right there H way right back. Right. Then he goes quickly to commercial. We'll be right back. Larry King. And we'll be back. But he was is a really cool guy. I'm there's a ton of people knew him. You know, he knew everybody in show business, everybody. There's nobody that didn't do his show. Presidents on both sides. Athletes. Everybody. Everybody news. All right, let's get into the this restaurant. John and Kim had this lady on from the restaurant in Long Beach. And it's called restaurant restoration. And she was I defying all the all the rules and regulations. I guess the laws right? Saying that she wants to keep the restaurant open. And she did, and she was getting fined and she wouldn't close and people getting pissed, especially the city of Long Beach. And so what they decided to do is to make her life even more miserable than it is now, right? I mean, she's trying to pay her employees, she said. One over the other employees kill themselves right suicide. And the city of Long Beach. Decided the best thing they could do is to put a little more pressure on her. I'm sorry. Ah lot more pressure on her. And how they do that they cut out for gas. The coldest day of the year. Basically, I've had visits from code enforcement every day, including today.
