Welcome to Non Headline News, theExtended Edition. The Extended Version. I'm
Scottie. That is Hannah right there. Thank you for the special effects.
Yes, we'll run through some ofthe stories we talked about on our radio
show in the Triad of North Carolinaand maybe expound a little bit upon them.
What is going on in the worldof non headline news this week?
Well, unshockingly, eighty one percentof gen z ers believe they could author
(00:25):
a book on life advice. Okay, now, for reference, gen zers
are like twenty six year olds.Yeah, eighty one percent believe this.
Now it gets the percentage just getsmaller as people get older. Millennials only
forty eight percent. Boomer is onlytwenty eight percent. So the older you
get, the more you realize youdon't know stuff. Apparently that's exactly how
(00:45):
it works. I was thinking aboutthis and like, all of my life
experience is right and I could probablywrite a book on it. I'm not
going to because I know, atthe end of the day, I have
no life experience right with all dueto twenty six year olds, neither do
you. Thank you very much,And goes for teenagers who think they know
everything as well. That's probably onehundred percent from that. Speaking of teenagers,
(01:07):
a sixteen year old boy flying fromFlorida, Ohio to went to I
was supposed to go to Ohio,ended up in the Caribbean Logan. His
name is spelled Losee. Okay,it's a lot like loss which is what
he was or Lose. But hewas traveling alone and he ended up in
(01:30):
Puerto Rico. I don't understand howthat happens in twenty twenty three, Like
there's airport security, there are computerizedsystems, like how do you just end
up on the wrong flight, Andthere's the second time during the holidays that
had happened, by the way,and a younger kid also ended up in
the wrong place. Now you hadsomeone in your family this happened to So
(01:51):
it was my brother's friend who hewent to school with. He was flying
from Minneapolis, Minnesota to somewhere inTexas, right probably Dallas, got diverted
to Chicago. Why did the flightget diverted? And by the way,
he wasn't flying with his parents.He was a miner who was just being
accompanied by lovely flight attendant. Theflight got diverted because it was September eleventh,
(02:12):
two thousand and one, and theylanded all of the planes and nobody's
going anywhere exactly. So I tookhis parents days to get to him,
because at that point you couldn't evenjust like get in your car and drive.
You didn't know what was going on, right, Yeah, and rental
cars I'm sure were gone from theairport as well. So yeah, rough
situation there. This guy apparently didget home. They didn't just leave him
(02:35):
in the Caribbean. By the way, I would have been like just leaving
here, mom and dad. It'sfine, I'll find a way home later,
all right. Yeah, j Lowants to hang out with me.
I'm just going to stay in.She has new music out by the way,
it's fire. Oh is that right? Yes, but that's neither here.
Now that's a parenthesis. She threwright into that story. Speaking of
young boys. Okay, thirteen yearold out of Oklahoma is the first person
(02:58):
to actually beat ten how Like,that's crazy to me. AI had done
it, but no human had doneit, and they said it was I
think it was thirty seven years,trillions of tries and finally this guy Willis
Gibson, who goes by what you'retalking about Willison Blue Scuddy is his name
online and he happened to be livestreaming, so they're wrong. Yeah,
(03:20):
cameras, there is evidence of this, and they have to verify this to
make sure there was nothing wrong withwhat happened. But it looks like he's
going to be the first guy toever do it. Made it to level
one point fifty seven before hitting thekill screen, and then he just starts
going, Oh my gosh, Ohmy gosh, Oh my gosh. So
you said thirty seven years is howlong tetris is. Believe that, Well
(03:40):
that was for that version, thatversion of it. Okay to me,
that's just crazy though, that it'staken that long, yeah, to get
here. Apparently there's a new techniquethat people are using us. I want
to say, scrub technique. I'mprobably wrong, okay, forgive me ye,
just to confirm in my head thisis right. Tetris is where they
give you the little squares and it'slike it's basically a puzzle you've got to
put together. It is, andit's the most useful one in real life
(04:02):
because if you ever packed out avehicle for a family trip, it's playing
Tetris similar to that basically what you'redoing. And you know, I think
we talked about this on the air. His parents have no idea what he
just did, Like, they don'tunderstand it at the level that people in
the gaming community do. So heprobably came in and said I did it.
I beat Tetris and they said that'scute, sweetie. Yeah, that's
(04:26):
nice. That's good. Do yourhomework. Yeah, dinner'll be ready at
six. I'm paying how much foryou to go to private school? And
this is what you did today.That's right, sounds familiar. I hope
it turns into money for the kid. A man claims negligence against Dunkin Donuts.
What apparently Duncan had an exploding toilet? What the suit? The suit
(04:53):
claims this guy went to the bathroomand then somehow the toilet exploded. He
dropped a bomb. Yeah, he'sseeking one hundred thousand dollars in damages for
bodily injury. Oh my god,and to cover the cost of counseling.
Well, yeah, I would thinkso. Oh my gosh, I dropped
a bomb at a taco bell before. But side note, it wasn't the
(05:15):
toilet. Yeah, my uncle legitimatelyblew a toilet. They lived in a
house. This is team. Iprobably went to use the facilities, went
to wash in the toilet, andthere was really bad pumming in the house,
and the toilet literally exploded. Ohso it it built up pressures.
Yes, I'm just like poof andthen boom. It could not have happened
to a better person. Love it. Okay, and we'll end with this
(05:39):
happy note. Okay, a coupleand their dog. Okay, lovable Cecil
steps the seven, the seven yearold golden doodle decided something looked nummy.
He decided to eat. It endedup being an envelope of four thousand dollars
in cast Cecil. No, theydid what you have to do in that
(06:00):
situation. They followed Cecil around fora couple of days, oh, picking
up the pieces, Oh, tapingthem No, no, dry heaving,
taping them together, before eventually takingthem to the bank, which, by
the way, you're allowed to do. Do you know who I feel bad
for in this situation is that notCecil? Yeah? The bank. Like
(06:23):
that poor teller who's making close tominimum wage maybe a few dollars more,
had to take that money in andbe like here we go. It is
the world's most disgusting puzzle night createdby Cecil the Dog. And on that
happy note, can I just aska question? Yes I need and I'm
sure you don't know this, butwhere is this money at that the dog
gets? Like? Who is leavingtheir four thousand dollars cash laid around in
(06:46):
a spot that your dog could getto? Fair question? Cecil is precocious,
okay say at this point and probablyadded on a counter or something,
and money hungry pig, I know, I know, I mean to doggate
your homework and all that. Thisis a whole different level. Yes,
