Episode Summary:

The "Dropping Things on Your Foot" TikTok Challenge
A new, incredibly dumb TikTok trend has people testing their pain tolerance by dropping heavy objects on their bare feet—yes, on purpose. One guy went viral after using a hammer, a space heater, and even a cordless drill. Others have taken it even further, dropping vacuums and televisions. TikTok has already started pulling down some of these videos, but not before the challenge gained serious traction. Doctors are warning that this could cause serious long-term injuries, but hey, what’s common sense compared to internet clout?

Fyre Festival 2 Is Actually Happening
If you thought Fyre Festival was just a one-time disaster, think again. Billy McFarland, the convicted fraudster behind the infamous 2017 festival flop, is back with Fyre Festival 2. Scheduled for May 30th to June 2nd on Isla Mujeres, Mexico, the event promises a much smoother experience, complete with music, yacht parties, MMA training, and skateboard demos. Tickets range from $1,400 to a jaw-dropping $1.1 million, with part of the proceeds helping McFarland pay off his $26 million restitution. Will this be a redemption story or just another scam? Only time will tell.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Time for ninas. What's trending?

Speaker 2 (00:01):
So there's a new trend on TikTok that may be
the dumbest one yet. It's called the drop challenge. And
this is what it sounds like, the drop check. Yeah,
just think about what that would be.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
One go with the here next and he dropped a speaker.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
So what he's doing is he's dropping these items on
his foot.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Why an eight out of ten.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
So you drop item on your foot to see how
painful it is, you scream in pain, and then you
rate it from one to ten. O good, how painful
it is. This guy right here has gone extremely viral.
He did it with a hammer, a space heater, a
cordless drill. Some people have even done it with vacuums
and televisions. Why TikTok has just started to pull some

(00:54):
of these videos down, but not before you know, people
can make copies of him or whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Are you who's ideas?

Speaker 2 (01:02):
I know, I'm gonna drop something heavy on my foot
there and what happens?

Speaker 3 (01:06):
You know?

Speaker 4 (01:06):
What's really scary though, that some people don't feel pain
like there are people who just like they don't have the.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Yeah, there is a condition where people cannot feel pain.
Can you imagine? Yeah, I saw it on a Great
Anatomy episode.

Speaker 5 (01:19):
It's like point yeah the world, But it's actually really
sad because those people don't have long life expectances.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
They can't feel pain. Yeah, oh makes it more sad.
Way to bring the mood down. You will sorry about
that anyway, back to the bro.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
The thing is like your hands in your feet have
like the tiniest most breakable bones.

Speaker 5 (01:38):
Yeah, your pinky toe. That should be a trend stubbing
your pinky toe on something it hurts.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
There is actually this one girl that went viral doing that.
She would stub her toe and then she would like
make an owl sound as if she was like Ariana
Grande or Sleep Beyond. I don't even think she was
really stubbing her toe off. She could sing like that
yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
End like you know. So we don't recommend that one.

Speaker 5 (02:04):
But if you wanted to know what the drop challenge is,
then there's not a lot of things I see or
hear on TikTok that I want to try when it
comes to the challenges.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
I don't know why with this one, I'm in I don't.

Speaker 5 (02:15):
Know O good thing about I'm like, why is this
interesting to me my first little.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Dance challenges And I'm like, that's not an actual challenges.
Is a dance right, like challenges? Drop a TV on
my foot?

Speaker 5 (02:25):
I bet I can do it better than anybody else.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
This is a challenge you can actually do maybe probably
like you can, you know.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Probably.

Speaker 5 (02:32):
The thing about jun rehearse a dance thing over and
over and over and try to get it right. Dances,
I know, but they do take a long time to
try to learn the moves. It's a lot easier to
grab a TV and drop it on your foot.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
The thing about Jebels. You have interesting things to drop
on your foot. You have like flame throwers and fire
extinguishers and interesting tools.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
But he thought he might be dope. I mean, I'd
rather you didn't do that.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
But time he'll be wheeling into work and other crazy news.
So we talked about this a while ago, that Fire
Festival two is actually happening, And if you remember the
guy Billy McFarlane, he went to jail because it was
a big fraud thing back in twenty seventeen. But now Firefighter,

(03:21):
Firefighter Fire Festival two is happening May thirtieth to June second.
We've got details. It's happening on Islam Muharis in Mexico.
There's going to be surprises like MMA training skateboard demos,
and it's all going to be handled by professionals. This time,
they hired like an actual production team to put it on.
But the wild thing is tickets are going from fourteen

(03:41):
hundred thousand dollars to one point one million dollars, and
a slice of the profits are all going towards McFarland's
twenty six million dollar restitution day.

Speaker 4 (03:51):
Imagine being the guy who literally goes to prison for
putting a fake one of these on and then immediately
gets out of prison and be like, you know what
new Part two.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
I have a couple of thoughts on this. Number One
is how going to be fire festival too? If the
first one never really happened? Okay? Number two, this production
company is going to slice off some of their profit
profits to this guy's restitution.

Speaker 5 (04:11):
They could just do it without him, right, because he
doesn't own festivals in general. Just make a new festival.
Well because he.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Did this though, it almost makes me feel like he's
not entirely guilty for the first one, like his heart
was in the right place he just didn't have resources.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
It wasn't he's a scam artist. I've met this guy
and he's a piece of junk.

Speaker 5 (04:30):
Before that first card credit card scheme, I met him
during the credit card scheme thing he was doing. Yeah, yeah,
A long time person for that too. No, I don't
know if I think he got like there was some
sort of got in trouble for it. He got in trouble,
but I don't think he went to prison. I think
his intention has been to make money.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Yeah, he is grif.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Yeah, well, I guess we'll see what happens with Fire
Festival too, Like, do you think anybody's gonna go?

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Why would you send your no although million dollars for
a ticket?

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (04:54):
No, why would you go going to go? So they
can get caught? Like I think content I like to
be like, oh my gosh, last it is how he
got him last time. He's going to do it again.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
So if you go to fire Festival too, which again
doesn't make sense, you deserve it.

Speaker 5 (05:09):
Yeah, that's kind of fair. I don't know why you
would go. There's a billion festivals now that.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
You could go to actual festival.

Speaker 5 (05:17):
Why would you go to the festival of the guy
who ripped everybody off on the festival that he didn't
actually put on.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
I feel like I would go.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Like I really, I feel like he can't scan this
going to be the experience of a lifetime.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
I really think so. Sounds pretty legit. An airbnb in Mexico.
There's gonna be yellow all around the island. You just yacht.
You can't go on the yacht the way you do
it again, three or four way? Yeah, I don't think so. Anyway,
that's what's turning to
