like makes a fake Christmas card and sends that to
people like with a fake like like Getty images, just
a fake family, not even damn and like the whole thing,
and then they don't tell anyone that it was from
them until later it's like they think this is funny,
Like they send this whole narrative into the whole family
doesn't exist and the whole thing, send it to people's
(00:48):
houses and then they open it, they're like, am I
supposed to know who this is? And then like later
on after the holidays, they're like, hey, did you get
my funny Christmas card that didn't you know, didn't have
to make any sense to you.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
That wouldn't be funny. Your cousin and it's kids from
Saint Louis.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
That would kind of bother me.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Like if I got a card in the mail addressed
to me right and I didn't know who the people were,
I'd be like, what is this? You know what I mean?
We might bug me. I'd try and like find it.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Do you ever do that? Do you ever like reverse?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Like I'll get a phone number, I'll get a call
and I'll be like, what is this? I don't answer it,
and then I'm like and then I'll try and figure
out who it is. Or I'll get a text. And
this is before like the scam where people would text
you and say, hey, you know, did you get my note?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
You know whatever?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
You know that you're getting out there trying to like
see if you'll respond. Before that, I would get text
from people and then I'd go like, first I look
up the area code.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeuse.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
If I didn't have the number in my phone, I'd
be like, Okay, who do I know from Topeka?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Nobody? You know?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
And then it's like I'd keep searching something. Sometimes Oh
I know who that is I forgot to say, Okay,
how you doing? And the other times I would be
like who is this? Or then you get like a
little teens of excitement. You're like, oh, it's that person
that I used to date and they they want some
more there.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I always come back.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
I always think it's Oprah. I'm like, she's coming to
get me, like it's my time.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
It's never her, but because Oprah will text you directly, Yeah, she.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Would text me.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
But my thing is now I take the number and
I put it in cash app and then cash app
will tell you exactly what really smart?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
That's smart? Wait did they have to have cash App? Yes,
and most people do so. Yeah. I didn't know you
could do that. Well that is good. It happened to
me the other day. But it was the State Police.
I thought it was.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Why I got this number and I was like, oh,
like like I don't know this number. This is exciting
and it was this thin I picked up and I
was like hello, and they were like, this is the
so and so from the State Police. I was like,
They're like, you're not in trouble, but were you driving
on this road at this time at this date, And
(02:50):
I was like, yes, like, did you happen to hear anything?
I'm like no, They're like, you didn't hear anything out
of the ordinary.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I was like no.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
They're like, okay, well we can't really tell you anything else,
but yeah, thank you for.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
They're investigating a crime.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Wow, been the witness? And here you could have been
a witness. You could have been on dateline or something.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Right here, I am thinking it's Oprah my big break,
and it's the state Police.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
But Oprah from a from a Springfield phone number. Yeah,
because she hangs out there in there all the time.
Ray or Chris Jenner.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
I had to double the number just to make sure
I wasn't getting scammed, because you know there's scams out
there too. Oh yeah, but it was the real estate Police.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Wow. I'll say which a treasure troph of information and
we've discussed this before is Venmo.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
If you go in there.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I rarely go in there, but boys at Hours of Entertainment,
if you go in there, you can see and granted,
people aren't really necessarily saying what they what they actually
gave the money for, but it's very interesting to see
who's sending whom money because that usually either means they're
like hanging out or like are dating.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Or do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Because you can go in there, like I'll see my
exes and I'll be like, I think I told the
story before, but like there was this one girl I dated,
and apparently, like she pays for half of all the
dates she goes on with her new boyfriend because it'll
be like dinner, like a little emoji of a dinner
and then like twenty dollars or something, and I'm like, wait,
since when are we splitting dates?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
You never split any dates. I'd pay for everything.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
It would be like half of rent, you know, like
oh they live together now, apparently it'll be like a
little house, you know, and it'll be like because I
don't you can decipher like what you know what they're
paying the money for. I always put something in the
little notes, like you know, crack cocaine or something, so
that would you have you would have no real idea
what it was I was paying someone for it.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I believe people actually use that as an app Like
I would never use that veno where you can see
what I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
And why like why would you? That's crazy? Way, Well,
we go.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
In and go in there and check it out like, Oh,
I didn't know these two.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Oh these two had lunch together.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Really, that's very interesting that these two were hanging out.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I could never I'm just jealous, but no, there's a lot.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Of information in there if you look carefully enough, illegally,
you can't use that.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
You're in a different Yeah, you actually are banned from Venmo. Yeah,
that's a true story. Like jo, that's not information. That
is your get access to it now.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
So I'm a little jealous, but I would never put
my business out there like that.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Pauline was doing a little money laundering using venmo and
now Venmo actually she's not allowed to use it.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
I've tried to get back on so many times and
they verify me and they literally say no, stop.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Well, the state police are calling you for a different
reason and it has to do with them. So Hollywood,
of course, is reeling after The Princess Bride. Director and
actor Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle Singer Renner were
found stabbed to death in their La home on Sunday
and what authorities are treating as a double homicide. Both
victims were found in their Brentwood residence on December fourteenth,
(05:40):
their daughter found them called for help.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Their thirty two year old.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Son, Nick, was taken into police custody and is charged
in connection with the death. Law enforcement says that he
was found near the University of Southern California and is
being held without bail as the investigation continues. Family members
are also speaking out. Rob and Michelle's daughter said that
she had seen her father and a family get gathering
just one day before the murders and described the loss
as devastating for the entire family. The investigation is ongoing
(06:07):
as LA authorities piece together the circumstances. Also another I
mean this is a frightening story. Federal authorities said Monday
that they prevented a coordinated bomb attack planned for New
Year's Eve in the LA area, arresting four people linked
to an extremist group before any explosive devices could be used.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
They identified the suspects.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
They were taken into custody after law enforced been found
then preparing improvised explosive devices during a rehearsal at a
remote site east of the City Authority City. The arrest
came just days before New Year's Eve, when the group
allegedly planned to set off backpacks filled with pipe bombs
at five or more locations across southern California, including major
business sites described as Amazon type logistics centers.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
So that is really scary.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
The next Powerball drawing schedule for tomorrow night, December seventeenth,
and it's one point one billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Yes, I.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Mean that really got your attention. It's saddy you go ahead,
and my ticket is going to contribute to my winnings.
But I'll give you, I'll give you whatever you invested back.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
It's fine.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Really, yeah, no, it's good. One point one billion dollars,
one of the largest and powerball history. If no player
matches all six numbers again on Wednesday, the jackpot will
continue to grow. The Postal Service holiday deadlines are this week.
So if you're trying to mail something to somebody for
the holidays use the US Postal Service, then well here
(07:36):
are the deadlines. Tomorrow is the last day to send
your items off in time to get them by Christmas.
If you're using ground or first class mail service within
the lower forty eight states, the deadline is Thursday for
Priority Mail Service delivery and this Saturday for Priority Mail
Express and the last US pennies ever made.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
We did the story a few weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
They're not gonna make pennies anymore because, like pennies are
worth more than a penny, it was too expensive to
make them and nobody uses them. Sixteen point seven million dollars.
These where the last pennies ever minted were sold for,
so it was an auction. On Thursday, they sold two
hundred and thirty two sets of three coins, each with
(08:16):
prices averaging seventy two thousand dollars per set. The final set,
which included the very last pennies from the Philadelphia and
Denver mints, plus a twenty four carried gold penny, went
for eight hundred thousand dollars. Each coin was marked with
a Greek omega symbol to show it was from the
final run. The US stopped making pennies in November because
they cost more than two cents each to produce. So
(08:38):
someone has three pennies worth eight hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Wow, the last one.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I think they're gonna make money on that. I guess
it'll be on pawn Stars in like five years. Yes,
I'll give you twenty four dollars for it. Yeah, I
don't know these are hard to sell.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Man.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
You ever watched that show Pontat, It's like, oh man,
every low ball everything. Oh man, Yeah, I got an
expert down the street who knows everything about gold pennies.
Let me get him down here, let me see down here.
Steve just happens to be hanging around here. Steve comes
in with a little little magnifying glass. Oh yeah, these
are these are authentic. Yeah, all right, how much they worth?
Probably eight hundred thousand. I'll give you seventy four dollars, right,
(09:12):
what what do you mean, centyway? He's eight hundred thousand.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
They're gonna sit here for a while though. These are
hard to sell, the difficult to sell. I give you
one hundred and four, one hundred and four dollars. It's
