Extended Mix. What do we havetoday, Well, a's talk in depth
about a couple of these stories.We'll start with one that was a huge
part of you and your college years. Remember sneaking into Costco for those dollar

(00:24):
fifty hot dogs. Oh my gosh. Yes, when I was a broke,
like twenty something, I would walkin through the outdoor at Costco like
you just have to walk in likeyou owned the place. And I would
go get myself a slice and apop and that would be lunch because it
was two dollars. Oh, bythe way, I think the statute of
limitations are up, so don't turnHannah in for that confession right there.

(00:47):
They got plenty of money out ofme. The Costco Corporation. Well,
apparently they're shutting down people being ableto do that. No, your employees
at the food court are now beingasked to ask to see your card.
Those poor college those poor college kids. So keep that in mind in case
that is kind of your go tofor you know, when the paycheck runs

(01:07):
out, but the month hasn't.Okay. Speaking of money, some people
just have too much, like thisguy named Clive that Homer. I would
love to know that problem, LikeI have too much money? What am
I going to do with it?Oh? Yeah, yeah, well that's
kind of his situation. Clive Palmeris an Australian mining billionaire with a bee
okay, and he's the guy who'sgoing to bring the Titanic back to life,

(01:32):
not the original one. He's buildinganother one Titanic too, the sequel.
Okay, there are some things inlife you should not mess with.
Ouiji boards number one? Oh yeah, number two? Did we learn that
nothing this past year leave the Titanicalone? That's submersible? Like come on,
you just said it. Though aminute ago. You would like to
have the problem of too much money. You think you do, but then

(01:56):
you have such situations like this.Here's a guy who is going to build
a ship. It's Blue Star Line. It's a replica, but he believes
it's going to be something that isjust like the Titanic without the tragic ending.
And he says, we are pleasedto announce that, after unforeseen global
delays, we have re engaged withpartners to bring the dream of Titanic two

(02:21):
to life. Let the journey begin, and then he says the quote,
the quote of all quotes. It'sa lot more fun to do the Titanic
than to sit at home and countmy money. Okay, bro, Like,
listen, if you were going toget anybody on your side with this,
you just lost it. Right tothere. I'm picturing Scrooge McDuck diving

(02:45):
into into his safe of money.Oh my gosh. Okay, it's just
like those people that tell you youdon't want to win the lottery because it'll
do you in. You always thinkI'm the exception to that. True,
very true. But I have alot of lottery winners reaching out to me
on Instagram saying they'd love to giveme their money. I haven't figured out

(03:07):
if that's a scam yet. Itmight, it might not be legit.
Okay, fifty three year old Vietnamesedude, I didn't think too much about.
He had a sore throat. Hewas a little horse. Okay.
You know we've all had that.This has been the season of yeah,
especially where we are in North Carolina. The pollen is crazy. No compassion

(03:28):
for you I know, I know, it's okay. This is kind of
behind the scenes. Last year,at this time I was getting nailed by
the pollen. Yes, and youhad no sympathy. This year, you
actually faced it for the first time. And Scotti, this is the conclusion
I've come to. Yes, youcan feel sorry for me. I will
not feel sorry for you, andwe'll move on with our lives. She

(03:50):
has no compassion. Well, nonetheless, he decided finally to go to the
doctor to figure out what is goingon in his throat. And the doctor
figured it out. There's a littlebrown mass in the back of the throat.
It was a six centimeter leech.Oh. No, how did the
guy get the leech? Oh?Was he playing fear factor at home?

(04:14):
Worse, he believes he may haveswallowed the leech after picking medicinal plants,
chewing them up and applying them toa mouse bite wound. So wherever this
guy is living, if it's Vietnam, I do not want to go there.
Listen. I am all for alternativemedicines. I think there's something rooted
in using the things around us.Yeah, but wouldn't you like, hmmm,

(04:38):
that didn't taste right, or thatwas a bit slimy. You know,
there are things attached a little.I mean they always tell you to
wash your vegetables thoroughly and all thatsort of stuff, especially as I don't
know, as you get a littleolder, if you had twenty twenty vision,
you have to start wearing reading glassesto see the up close stuff.
And if you don't think to dothat all the time, you're probably not

(05:00):
thoroughly cleaning things. Oh so youshould have someone with younger, fresher eyes
or put on your reading glasses.Make sure you don't have any of those
nasties going in. I just pictureyou know that movie in Harry Potter,
the well, the movie Harry Potter, there's the scene where Ron tells Draco
to eat slugs and the curse comesback on him. I just pictured this
guy sitting over a bucket in likeleeches. Thank you for that, Okay,

(05:25):
and we move on. We gofrom mice to rats. They're infesting
the New Orleans Police Department's headquarters andwell there's particularly interested in the evidence room.
Okay, why and apparently they've beeneating up the evidence, which includes
marijuana. So there's a bunch ofhigh rats now running around the police department.

(05:48):
Think of all those people out there, who's green is in that locker
and they now need to know itwas not theirs. They maybe even facing
criminal charges for it. But thoserats are getting off skape free. They
are enjoying themselves. I think thefolks in the police department wisely have locked
the key to the snack machine awaybecause you know the munchies are coming and

(06:10):
these rats. You can be legallyhigh in a police department as long as
you're not human. Okay, wellthere we let's talk about the injustices of
the world. Now, shall wesorry to talk about animal rights? Well,
Peter should be happy right now.Yes, the rats are living high
on the hog literally literally. Well, on that happy note, let's go
