(00:00):
Shall we begin. Let's do it. No hype, no hoop blaw.
We get right into business here,hard hitting news that well isn't really hard
hitting. Well, it's the stuffnot necessarily in the headlines. I'm Scottie,
by the way. That's Hannah,so you recognize our voices are different.
We'll start with the story about aguy who won a lottery and told
(00:22):
only his wife and one other relative. Wow, okay, he's kept it
from his kids. Dang, howdo you like? As much as I've
thought of this for someone who doesn'tplay the lottery, if I ever win,
what I tell anybody? And Iwould say no, maybe just by
significant other and a few handfuls ofpeople. But like, I have such
a big mouth, I'd have tobe like I won the lottery. Yeah,
(00:44):
and how do you not tell peopleby how you live? I mean,
there's bound to be some purchases thatyou started. This is true.
You couldn't resist buying that car orthat expensive pair of Christian Lubaton shoes.
Yeah, okay, well we allhave our things. Yes, but he
said this guy who's wanting to remainanonymous, by the way, said that
(01:06):
one of the reasons he did nottell his kids is he wants them to
figure out what they want to beand do in life before he lets them
know that he has money. Irespect that. That's actually rad Like,
here are kids, it's not goingto be handed to you. Yeah,
exactly. And I think there aresome celebrities who supposedly do that as well,
(01:27):
like Gordon Ramsay. Isn't he theone where him and his wife will
fly first class but his kids areback in like coach and he's like,
they didn't earn it, Like Iearned this for my wife and I not
for them. I remember. Andthere was another one. I think it
was Charles Barkley. It's said hiskid said something about being rich and he
goes, no, I'm rich.Yeah, you're not rich. Okay,
(01:49):
we move on. Amazon is testingdrone delivery for prescription medication. Customers in
College Station, Texas will soon beable to get prescriptions at home in less
than an hour using drone technology.Five hundred different meds will be available.
Amazon's rolling out drone delivery in othercities if this goes well. They're not
(02:12):
the first one to do drones,but this is Amazon's a big company.
If they make the change that itmatters. Do you remember the scene in
Parks and Rec where Ron Swanson shootsdown the drone that's still that is what
I picture just everyone in Texas doinglike that is exactly right. I think
you're gonna see drones fly, You'regoing to see an uptick in sales of
BB guns, Yes, for surein Texas. But yeah, how do
(02:35):
you feel? I mean, doyou feel? I like it? Because
right now the drug store that Iuse I have to drive up. It's
not that far away, but it'sjust annoying. And if I could just
step outside my front door and itdrops down, why not? So I've
mixed thoughts on this, right obviously, I see it as a need.
You need your medication. I wonderwhat medications are on that list though,
(02:55):
Like, obviously it must not beanything that's addictive. But can't I just
get it for like when you're youknow, when you have like a really
bad sinus infection or you have theflu or anything, and you're so achy
and shaky and weak that you physicallycannot get out of your bed. No,
no till it, get medicine atthe Walgreens or wherever, like,
come on, what you have todo Hannah, is you have to take
that sickness into the world, walkinto a store and infect other people.
(03:20):
It's like, can't you deliver thatto my house? Like the necessities I
need to get me through the nexttwo days or how long it takes from
your right Never mind the prescription stuff. Let's get some of the overcount niquils
and stuff like that flying around.Okay. A husband left his wife is
not a story, okay, Buta husband who left his wife after a
bathroom break and drove one hundred milesbefore he figured out she wasn't in the
(03:45):
car? What that is a story? Fifty five year old name Boontum Shamoon
said he pulled off the road onhis Thailand road trip and drove off the
thing. His wife was asleep inthe back seat. Unfortunately for him,
his wife had gotten out while hewas in the bathroom. She went into
(04:08):
the ladies' restroom. He gets inthe car, doesn't check if this story
is to be believed, and hejust drives away. Now he gets one
hundred miles, still doesn't know she'snot there until he receives a phone call.
She had walked twelve miles, gotto a police station and made the
phone call. I don't buy thestory one bit. I do not.
(04:30):
I do not genuinely think you couldleave your wife behind for one hundred miles
like this was intentional. Like also, also, this is an asia.
Historically they drive smaller, more compactvehicles, right, Okay, not a
giant Chevy suburban where your wife isin the far third row back seat.
I don't buy that. We needpictures of the vehicle. Yeah, And
(04:55):
you know, I always think thatwhen I watch a movie or TV show
where someone gets in their VA andsomeone comes up from the back seat and
grabs them, I'm like, howdid they not notice someone was in the
back seat? I did that one? Did you? Did you get away
with it? I climbed in theback of my old boss's SUV and then
she drove away. I popped upin my boo and the joke was on
(05:15):
me. We didn't go, Weweren't on a busy road. Yet it
went off. It was a verylike empty side street. When the airbags
went off, it was hilarious.She slammed on the brake, sild went
forward to hit my head. ButI had it coming. And my dad
has done that to my uncle before. Too, Okay, so that can
be done. So maybe that's whathappened. He just didn't look back there
and just believed she was there,all right, benefit of the doubt,
(05:39):
he gets sure. This one iscrazy. From the Atlanta Susan Hodgson was
on a vacation. She gets acall from a neighbor that says, did
you plan to have your home demolishedwhile you were gone? What? And
she says no, And he says, well, there's someone over here and
(06:00):
they just demolished your whole house,tore the whole house down. What.
So this lady calls a relative whogoes over and confronts the demolition crew,
and after much discussion, they finallyadmitted they had gone to the wrong address.
How do you accidentally demo down thewrong house? How like I imagine
(06:23):
you have to check addresses, titlesto things. I don't know. Is
there a housing equivalent of a bitnumber? I just picture, like make
sure the numbers match. Yeah,Well it's called an address, you know.
And here's the other thing on this. They say a local TV station
had to get involved, and thecompany said they're investigating and working to resolve
(06:47):
the mistake. There's no investigating,there's no like, how do you result?
Besides, she's suing you, She'sgoing to get a lovely, multimillion
dollar mansion. Bring all the piecesback, you start to glue them back
together. I don't know. Iwould be livid, livid, Like I
would probably die of a heart attackbecause I was so livid. Isn't that
unreal? And we'll finish with thisone because I think this is your favorite
(07:10):
story that we've talked about of late. There was a new study that showed
how female frogs go to great linksto avoid male frogs. And the research
was done on the European common frogmating ritual and in order to combat the
attention from the dudes, the femalefrogs will play dead so the males will
(07:31):
move on. I love this.Scientifically, the process is called tonic immobility.
I think this is hilarious. Ithink a human women will be doing
this now. Yeah, is thereanything you would like to confess? Okay,
not really, let's not going tothat today. But we're not going
to get into anybody's actual relationship onthis. But if you think that is
(07:57):
happening to you, now you knowthe word for it. Tonic immobility.
Tonic immobility, and that right thereis it. That is today's edition of
non headline News. I'm Scottie.That's Hannah. We'll see you next time.
