It’s early autumn. You’re fishing in mountain lakes with your cousin. He takes you to a small saloon in the middle of nowhere.
It looked a lot like this.
You walk inside and as your eyes adjust to the interior, the first thing you see is this.
This was no ordinary tavern. The owner / bartender was no ordinary proprietor. He owned championship race horses and hunted big game all over the world. That takes money, and not the kind of money you eke out of a little bar in the Catskills selling Miller High Life and little bags of Rold Gold pretzels.
Back to the fanged deer. I thought it was a taxidermist’s joke, but in fact, that’s an actual Korean deer. Look it up.
McCoy – that was the bar owner, was a legendary character in those mountains. He’d reputedly spent a lot of time in India and while there had learned… things.
He did a few magic tricks — and he was adroit — but nothing I hadn’t seen many times before. Then he began a trick that he swore was no gimmick, but actual… magic.
It’s been a long time since I watched his illusion, although illusion is not an accurate word. I’ve described it to a number of professional magicians in Los Angeles – guys you’ve seen on TV or in Vegas. And every one of them was absolutely stumped. Some told me I must have “missed something.” But I didn’t. It happened exactly as I describe it in this episode. I’ve never seen anything like it since. Nothing even close. Utterly unique and mystifying.

America hates criminals but loves con men. The goofball with the bangs in the thumbnail is one of the best. Known as an “international swindler.” Which is a damn cooler job title than anything you’ll find on LinkedIn.
Allegedly, Anthony Gignac (pictured) is Colombian-born and Michigan-raised. He was impersonating the guy on the right – Sultan Bin Khalid Al-Saud, of the Saudi Royal Family. Anthony doesn’t look remotely Arabian, does he? Wonder if he laid on the makeup and fake accent as he worked his mark.
He wanted to buy 30% of it from the owner. Which adds up to $440 million. So he staged all this theater with a fancy Ferrari with fake diplomatic plates (that he bought on Ebay – here’s where you can but some, too).
He had fake social media accounts to show off his bling and cash and was always leaving meetings because he had to “report to the State Department.”
The scam fell apart when he sat down to a meal with the hotel guy and scarfed down a massive hunk of pork. Duh.
Now he’s awaiting sentencing. I hope he escapes or gets off lightly. Even though he’s a criminal, he’s entertaining, flamboyant and memorable. Unlike the thousands of boring, cookie-cutter criminals who work for us in Washington DC. Their crimes are many, from their lack of personality, putrid faces and outrageous compensation.
How does this relate to James Bond? Because one of JB’s first capers began at the Fontainbleu hotel in the fabulous town of Miami. A town they could well re-name “Pointy Chick Central” I’ve been to Miami a bunch of times. I always dig it.
Now that there are 25 James Bond movies in the archive, the arguments never cease among Bond freaks – of which I am one – sorta. ( My interest waned somewhere during the Pierce Brosnan period.) The scripts just became too moronic. But I still check them out now and then.
My all time favorite was Goldfinger. Probably because of her – Honor Blackman.
Not another Bond girl, she was a Bind woman. Besides her obvious physical attribures, she had two can’t miss aphrodisiacs – competence and confidence. (That’s right — Baby Dolls and Cheerleader types are a bore.)
So in this episode, we not only unspool a fatastic con job, we settle, once and for all, the controversy over the best 007 (Connery), the best 007 movie (Goldfinger), Bond Woman (Honor). You’ll have to listen to the episode to learn the best villains.)

How do you ignore a story that says “Man discovers time warp.” Oh, the anticipation! Why? Because if it’s real and legit and not a hoax, well, that means… what? Life do-overs? Everybody gets a ticket back to the future?
Cars and planes and boats are handy and fun, but really, we’re all just like fish in a tank. The only way we ever really leave the tank is feet first. But with a time warp, maybe there’s time travel and… who knows?
So, you follow the story and see a video. And first thing you see is a nice-looking news chick with a huge rack. Here she is.
So far, so good. Then, you see him. Then you hear him. And what you’re hearing, though spoken with conviction and authority, is as nutty as someone talking about the Easter Bunny with conviction and authority.
Like the famed Jerry McGuire line, you had me at hello, he lost me at “UFO” and “Black Hole.” Not that those things might not exist. They may. But odds are, he won’t be detecting them with the Differential Time Meter. Which is this thing. You can get one here, on Ebay for $219.
What does it look like to you? Reminds me of this digital pedometer – only $1.79 from AliExpress.
More important thanhow Joshua Warren found the time warp is where he found it. In the desert near Las Vegas. Since Vegas is a portal of hell, that does add a luster to the story. But it also foreshadows its dubious nature. Los Angeles is the city of big, silly dreams. But for some, those dreams do materialize along with great wealth. Vegas is the city of small, silly dreams. How many people ever get wealthy at a blackjack table or roulette wheel or slot machine?
Nonetheless, the Differential Time Meter is a lot of fun. And I would so like to be proven wrong in my appraisal of it.
Duh.
