Game Introduction: Three Headlines and a Lie
00:00:26
Speaker
We're going to get started with three headlines and a lie. If you've been listening now, you'll know that we we love this game. We love the morning brew.
00:00:38
Speaker
ah The past few ones haven't been stellar. But i think I think some redemption's in order. it. coming.
00:00:48
Speaker
Remember, the rules are three of these headlines are lies and one is real. That's not right. three Three of them are true. I'm the one that says I know how to play. Oh, gosh.
00:01:05
Speaker
Three are true. One's a lie. figure out the lie. Correct. Yes, there's one lie. I would have sworn it was the other way around. Hidden amongst. Can you spot the odd one out?
Bill Murray and the Golf Book
00:01:18
Speaker
ah Three of these headlines are real and one is faker than an early Midwest spring.
00:01:24
Speaker
So we're going to, that's what the terrible joke.
00:01:30
Speaker
All right. Let's dive into it. Number one, Bill Murray says this golf book is helping him lower his handicap. That doesn't feel like it needs to be a headline.
00:01:42
Speaker
Is there not enough news going on? Bill Murray already knows everything there is to know about golf. He was in Caddyshack. What more does he need? Derek, why is Bill Murray trending right now? He's I don't know, but that's a good question.
00:01:57
Speaker
But I don't hate it. I love Bill Murray. He's hilarious. He is funny. I just wonder if he seems like he might get little bit like, dude, I can't hang around with you anymore.
00:02:09
Speaker
like He seems like he could be annoying eventually. i think I have a little bit of that in me. you see anyone But yeah, he's trending. He's everywhere. He was on Hot Wings. hot um He was on Joe Rogan's podcast.
00:02:23
Speaker
Okay. he must be There must be a movie or something we don't know about. feel like he's always kind of low-key around in obscure places, but I didn't realize he was full-on trending right
Discussing Celebrity Headlines: Bill Murray
00:02:34
Speaker
now.
00:02:34
Speaker
Big Bears fan, by the way. Always at the Bears home games. Anyway, that's number one. It doesn't even tell us the book. is Well, okay, they want to click and find out. mean, he is definitely huge golfer. But how are you writing an article that? What reporter is sitting at their desk like, all right, guys, we need some headlines.
00:02:55
Speaker
Bill Murray is talking about this new golf book. It's really lowering his handicap. What news outlet is this? I think when you hit the top 10 of trending celebrities, anything, that's your go-to of like,
00:03:09
Speaker
We got nothing today. Look at the top 10. Bill Murray yes talking about That's a good point. Right. And if he's trending, then we're hearing him say a lot of things. I mean, we've said his name like 10 times right now.
00:03:21
Speaker
We have. We have never said his name before this. Yeah. All right. Well, let's we'll move on. Number two.
Rob Refnider's TV Mention
00:03:32
Speaker
Yeah.
00:03:34
Speaker
Why was Red Sox outfielder Rob Refnider name dropped on TV's Reacher? he's in He's as confused as anyone.
00:03:47
Speaker
I'm going to repeat read that again. going to stumble through it. Why was Red Sox outfielder Rob Refnider name dropped on TV's Reacher?
00:03:59
Speaker
He's as confused as anyone. Does anyone know what Reacher is about? I don't know. That is a side quest. You should go on, Shauna.
00:04:10
Speaker
Or okay you too, Scott. The dude playing Reacher. I'm sorry. I just got to get it out. He is jarringly large.
00:04:23
Speaker
Like, not overweight large. like And not male genitalia large. I don't know. It could be. It's probably in proportion. Just structurally, he's... It is jarring. He's like a Hulk almost.
00:04:39
Speaker
It is...
The Tofu Eating Contest Lie
00:04:40
Speaker
it It's off-putting. Visually, you're like, whoa, I don't even know what this show's about right now and I can't concentrate on the scene. Because that guy is so big. He looks CGI. yeah I'm telling you.
00:04:53
Speaker
It's weird. Okay. Okay. I'm looking at him right now. Oh, he was I getting excited? Show me. She was calming me down. there's There's one scene where he's just in like... um I've just never seen this person before. Have you? Yeah.
00:05:06
Speaker
Wow, he is a big guy. Holy cow. it's It's weird. Good for him. Yeah, good for him. That feels like a very true story though. Like random people whose names get put into movies and shows.
00:05:20
Speaker
Yeah, that's in the Boston Times. Okay. Okay. Why they mention Red Sox outfielder? We'll let you know. They know. Those guys up in Boston read that.
00:05:33
Speaker
i'm I'm thinking the first two are true. a i don't like them, but they're I think they're true. Number three, the tofu industry is trying to get in on competitive eating.
00:05:44
Speaker
One man stands in its way.
00:05:50
Speaker
Who's standing in the way of this? You know what? No. You got it. No. Tofu. We're not doing it. I'm not having a tofu competition. Hot dog. No. Man, this is so weird. I'm not going off on tangential, everyone, but let me just tell you.
00:06:07
Speaker
yeah Oh, here we go. I am friends with a couple. Tofu
00:06:14
Speaker
enthusiasts? It's either vegan or vegetarian. Vegan, I believe. Vegan is no animal products whatsoever. Yeah, yeah. Okay, that one. And we had a conversation about tofu just very recently.
00:06:28
Speaker
And wow it is a big deal to be able to you know season it, and it can be really good. but It's a blank canvas. We were talking about a wing competition that we saw up on a chalkboard in a local facility where we were.
00:06:45
Speaker
But he's like, nah, I can't be the one to get on. And they had like the top three up there. Right. And he was like, yeah, but I can't be the one I could get on that top three board, but I can't do it eating cauliflower wings. Like that's what he would eat, like the vegan wings.
00:07:01
Speaker
So that tofu story made me think of that. What do y'all think? Does that count? Like if you get on the top three, For eating a number of chicken wings, but they weren't real chicken? Does count?
00:07:14
Speaker
I mean, you know, Michael Che from SNL, when he was on Hot Ones, he did – he ate fish sticks.
00:07:27
Speaker
Oh, Instead of chicken. Yeah, because he said the last thing y'all are going to do is catch a black man here eating chicken. Oh, Michael Che. Come on, man. ah Okay, so with the cauliflower, i would think that would be more disruptive to your stomach to eat a bunch of cauliflower than chicken wings. I would think that'd be harder.
00:07:47
Speaker
i think he was thinking of it just strictly from a
00:07:52
Speaker
um I don't want an asterisk by my name for anything I've ever done. and that would have an asterisk by my name just because I wasn't eating straight chicken. Natalie Portman did it as well. She had fake I shouldn't say fate.
00:08:06
Speaker
She had wow not real chicken. You just offended. Right. A lot of people. Substitute. On hot ones. Yeah. does that count? I mean, she's still eating the sauce. I don't think it does because I've seen several of them do Doesn't count. And not eat the straight chicken. And I appreciate that they want to do it, but I don't think it's the same at all because it feels like you can just...
00:08:27
Speaker
You know, when you eat a real chicken wing, you gotta... Yeah. You gotta... gotta Put your face in it. You gotta to get on it to pull the meat off when you're eating little blobs, like little chicken nuggets. And then you get the sauce burning you out here, too. Right. It's too easy to eat that little...
00:08:43
Speaker
And man, we're really dissecting this. I forgot what the headline was. that I want it to be real because I want to know who's standing in the way so adamantly. The tofu industry is trying to get in on competitive eating. One man stands in its way. Yeah. Who's this guy who's like, nah.
00:08:57
Speaker
and I think he's like one of those. That doesn't count. No, it doesn't count. But I believe that this could be a real headline for sure. Yeah. I'd click on it. I wouldn't.
00:09:09
Speaker
I would. Number four. or We're going click on it, aren't we? We are now. Number four.
Florida's Bizarre Jewelry Theft
00:09:16
Speaker
ah Florida. Florida jewelry thief swallows $770,000 Tiffany earrings just before arrest, police say.
00:09:28
Speaker
Wow. The fact that you tell me this happened in Florida, where all the weirdest stuff happens with weirdest crackhead people. I want to say it's fake, but then I can't, specifically for the fact that they name dropped Florida.
00:09:43
Speaker
Classic Florida, man. Right. Right. But that would be a good plant. Yeah, I was going to say somebody. That'd be a good plant. Also, if you're crackhead enough to swallow these earrings, how did you get a hold of them in the first place?
00:10:00
Speaker
Are you smart enough? What do you mean? Oh. stupid Well, but it's kind like, you know, when they catch you in the bathroom with the cocaine and you're like, do I swallow it? Do swallow it? Right, but I understand how you probably got a hold of a bunch of cocaine. How did you get a hold of all these Tiffany earrings? Well, they're robbing the place.
00:10:16
Speaker
Well, could just be a pair. I mean, they might be 50 carat. Right. And it's black baggie. That feels like a cheat code. That feels like, ouch. you work at the morning brew and they're sitting there like, we need a fake headline for the week.
00:10:29
Speaker
Just pick the craziest thing and put Florida in front of it. And everyone will believe it. like, oh, well, that one might fly. i feel like it's a plant.
00:10:39
Speaker
You talk me into it. Yeah, I'd agree. Okay. I mean, I.
00:10:46
Speaker
They're all weird, but... Bill Murray. I just don't like the Bill Murray one because who is writing that? Who? What?
00:10:55
Speaker
I mean, we all the things going on in the world and that's the headline? That's... If I hadn't seen him as much as I've seen him in the last two or three weeks, I'd immediately say... i Yeah, that's good point. But I feel like that's but a thing. lot of people want to lower their handicap.
00:11:13
Speaker
If Bill Murray has inside. Trying to raise mine. It's gotten too low.
00:11:19
Speaker
You idiot. yeah
00:11:26
Speaker
And the tofu one confuses me because what one man would be like, no, we're not doing this. But I feel like there might be more to that than just someone saying, no, we're not doing this. I think I'm going to go with the tofu.
00:11:37
Speaker
Are Yeah. yeah I mean, there's probably a person, like a board, and then an executive VP who gets to decide on the professional eating competition. That's like crazy. Who is that? I mean, I could just host a competition in my backyard.
00:11:52
Speaker
But it wouldn't official. talking about professional type stuff. What that mean? What does professional mean, though? its But you have these official eating contests, right? Like, I could host a hot dog eating contest, but that's not the same as the official hot dog eating contest.
00:12:05
Speaker
Charlie. It's just odd that you picked a hot dog. I mean, what? You could pick anything. It's not. Why didn't you say tofu? Why didn't you say tofu? Because I'm not having it.
00:12:16
Speaker
No, I'm standing in the way of this. We're not having a tofu competition. And first of all, Scott, you're not having anything in your backyard. You don't have a backyard. All right. That cancels that. You know what?
00:12:27
Speaker
Shots fired. We'll have it in your backyard. Yes. Just go pick up them limbs. Hold up. got to go pick up. lit I got to chop some. We got to burn them. I'll start a fire. It'd be great. I'll start a fire.
00:12:41
Speaker
Yep. We'll cook the hot dogs and tofu on the fire. um i'm I'm going. ah I'm going Florida, man.
00:12:53
Speaker
I'm still Florida, man. Okay. Two for Florida. One for tofu. It's going to be Bill Murray. it's
00:13:01
Speaker
and da We made up the one about competitive tofu eating. Boom! All right. That sounds too good for me. Yeah, because who's the one guy that's like, no, uh-uh.
00:13:14
Speaker
I just thought it was going to be like some crazy- would be that guy I could. I don't think- What do you have against it? Oh, because you don't think it's real. Well, but like I said, they're all eating tofu, then it's fine. But not like this guy gets eat tofu, but everybody else is eating beef Have y'all tried tofu? Well, no.
00:13:33
Speaker
Scottathan? No. All right. Don't knock it till you try it. That's all I'm going to say. Well, yeah, I don't knock it. I just knock it in a... But Chuck, you come bring up a previous topic we talked about where Joey Chestnut, he didn't compete because they were like, you can't eat that brand.
00:13:53
Speaker
I'm trying... This is the hot eating contest, right? Yeah. Yeah. That at least had a little bit of a gray line. like Which is funny because he knows it so well, that brand is going to be a little bit different and throw him off his game.
00:14:06
Speaker
the Yeah, you thought it would make him easier to swallow or something. We had a whole discussion about this, I like. The link takes you to a Jeff of Joey Chestnut cramming a hot dog in his mouth.
00:14:17
Speaker
So disgusting. um but's Let's figure out what book is lowering Bill Murray's handicap.
Revealing the Lie and Golf Book Details
00:14:25
Speaker
It's golf.com. is is where the headline comes from.
00:14:29
Speaker
i guess that makes sense. Every shot must have a purpose. Yes. Don't just get over the ball and just be like, ah, whatever. Take your time.
00:14:40
Speaker
Well, don't take too much time. We need to work on this slow-pay issue. Depends on how busy it is. Yeah. um That's true in life, though, right? You could apply anything. was about say, that feels like a life principles kind of book.
00:14:52
Speaker
Jathan Gilder, 32, is accused of posing as a representative of an Orlando Magic player before he swiped two pairs of earrings worth $770,000 from a Tiffany Company in Orlando.
00:15:07
Speaker
I'm going to need you to go all the way back to the beginning on that. His name was Jathan. Jathan Gilder. It sounds like his name is Jason. and it was only two pairs. Four total earrings. But it's spelled like Jonathan, but J-A-Y-T-A-J-N. Like somebody had a speech impediment and called him. This is my Tyson son. Oh, I'm sorry. Let's name him Jathan. Jathan. Oh, you didn't have to do that.
00:15:36
Speaker
Wow. It's so wrong. I'm so sorry. He's probably vegan too. ah and the doctor is like, are you sure? That's what you... say Yeah, Jathan. Jathan. that That's what we want to name him.
00:15:47
Speaker
Doesn't it sound like a mispronunciation of Jathan?
00:15:53
Speaker
Don't say it. I know what you're asking. I'm sorry. I'm sorry to Jathan. I just have never seen that name before. It's not Jathan's fault. I mean, it's... Right. Jathan's like, damn it.
00:16:05
Speaker
I've just never seen that name, but yeah, and you make a good point. close That could easily have been mispronunciation in the doctor's life. I mean, if that's what you want, I'll i'll write it down.
00:16:19
Speaker
was a TH? You want to spell that for me? Yeah, they should have asked for a spell But that that reminds me, actually. i won't i won a i won't say who it but there was a ah A friend of ours.
00:16:38
Speaker
I won't mention his name. You'll know exactly who I'm talking about when I say it, though. His mom passed away a while ago, like years ago. he's He's a much older gentleman.
00:16:49
Speaker
But he he said, you know, later in life, she was really struggling. And they went to the doctor. They had her on this medication that was helping keep her stable. And went to the doctor one day and the doctor's like, yeah, it's not it's not looking good.
00:17:06
Speaker
And so the doctor asked her, hey, do you just want to be done? as in, like, we'll take you off the medication and just, you know. Let nature run its course.
00:17:19
Speaker
And they predicted in a month or so that she would just slowly pass away. But I'm thinking, wait a minute, though. What if, you know, she's sitting there and the doctor's like, hey, do you want to be just done with this?
00:17:33
Speaker
And she'd understand. And she's like, yeah, i'd I'd love to get back home. And I had a program. I was supposed to watch at three. So, yeah, if we could wrap this up, that'd be great. He's like, no, I meant... And he's like, okay, she's good. but Yeah, she wants to die. We can... We'll take her off the medication.
00:17:51
Speaker
and just feels like it. Okay. I feel like we need to clarify what you meant there. You do need very clear and strong communication in a hospital.
00:18:03
Speaker
Hospitals and military, you need to. That's why the. Those two places? You know, heard, understood, acknowledged. It's not hoo-ah. That's something different.
00:18:13
Speaker
But not to be misconstrued with your hoo-ha. That's something completely different. Whoa. Hard left. What? Hoo-ah.
00:18:25
Speaker
Heard, understood, acknowledged. Like that's. It's important that that dude that's holding the machine gun understood that you said, go over there and shoot. Don't shoot over here.
00:18:37
Speaker
Did you mean it was a mutual friend of mine and yours? No, I was. No, of ours. I do know who you're talking about. Oh, okay. I was like, man, I got to find out that Because you know who was. You're like, I never heard this story in my life. Yeah, don't know who that was.
00:18:52
Speaker
Yeah, no. Okay.
