Speaker 1 (00:00):
One O seven nine KBP I and your show.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Time for stupid stories.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Y'all all stop. Yeah you are stupid stories brought to you.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
By snow tires.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Wooz snow tires. You suckers that don't have them yet. Man,
you'll be in a world to hurt about this time tomorrow.
But just because you have them doesn't mean nah. You
know what it does, man, go for it.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
To have fun. Donuts on the highway are fun.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
I've done that before. I mean both on purpose by accident. Whoops,
it happens, all right, Ready for stupid stories. Animal story
number one, A reindeer escaped the Christmas event. Now, the
funny thing is you got a little live animals, live
Christmas events, right all right? Live animal whoosh, son of
(00:54):
a damn reindeer got loose and nobody could catch it. Eventually,
eventually it allowed a vet. It's funny how some animals
know which human is. Okay, it allowed a vet to
safely secure it.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Oh, if you will. Some people just have that, yeah, man,
that ability to vibe with animals.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
But for a couple hours it was like get out
of my way. So vacation rentals. This is the second
story i've seen. But here's a quick summary. Maybe we
kind of hit that, you know, that critical mass sort
of time in vacation reddals sixty two percent. Americans say
(01:41):
they now prefer hotels over short term rentals like Airbnb
and vrbo for for holiday travel, which is kind of interesting.
That's a that's a big shift about shift, Okay, in
just the last couple of years.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I totally see that, though. I think an airbnb is
only viable if you're staying for like a whole week.
But if you're just doing like a night or two,
the cleaning fee outweighs any benefit of cost.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Right right, unless you have a lot of people, I
think correct you know coming in, or you know that
you have to feed, or several nights of you know
that you have to cook and prep meals, I think
it loses a lot of that luster for sure. Sure
you know it's just in a hotel, because every hotel
has breakfast now, every hotel has a little bar.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Thing in it.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Now they've really kind of pivoted to make it a
little comfort for you know, adults and so forth. So
I don't know, maybe maybe that side houst drying up
a little bit, all right, so you gotta love effort, right,
Effort is everything. I'll tell my kids. Effort is everything,
you know, I'll tell a doug Side Effort really does.
(02:55):
It means everything. And that's why it hats off to
you know, everybody from twisting up a chuck lass have
to you know, all my friends God, Robert and Tommy
and Danny and Chris, who's probably headed to the shop
now working across the Christmas Effort means the world. And
you try to install that in your kids. But here's
a stat that really just crushes crushes effort. Nearly seventy
(03:17):
percent of straight millennial men say they have quote never
updated their dating profiles. Oh first creating.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Them never huh?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
I mean all right, all right, So look, look you
might want to change that up a little bit. I'm saying,
I mean, effort. It's really bad effort right right.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Wow, you're in your forties and your profile still talks
about you wanting to go out and hunt pokemon. Oh man,
update that?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Lose all right?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
So EGO Animal story numbers two. A cat gets loose
on the Southwest Airline flight. Oh no, oh man, you
know that sucked. Look I guess it took flight at
Tennis and some passengers to actually capture the cat and
return it to its owner. Oh cat is nothing you
(04:19):
want to have get loose on the airplane man. All right,
let's see animal story number three. A five hundred pound
black bear moved in the man's cross space under his
home in California, and a reporter decided to stick his
head inside doing the news report. And then you see
(04:41):
the reporter run away in fear of saying, I'm gonna
beat my pants because it's it's your Norway's better. Now
here's what's crazy. They're saying, I saw a news story
on this earlier this morning. So they're saying because a
lot of the bears lost their natural homes from the fire,
that they're seeking other homes to hibernate or to you know,
(05:05):
to settle down for a month or two.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
I see space being pretty appetizing for a.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Cross space is perfect. But here's the funny part. The
guy that lives in the house says the bear wakes
up and growls at him, and he had the best
I mean, it was the coolest sound clip on the
news report because his quote was it sounds like a
dragon is hissing at me. He said, it sound like
(05:30):
he had a dragon.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Under his under his house, like you know, he's standing
in his kitchen here. Yeah, yeah, you pit on settling.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Be pretty awesome.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
My kid would love it.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
All right. Here you go funn with nitress. Laughing gas
doesn't just sound fun, It's actually able to treat depression.
A new study nitrous oxide eased depressive symptoms within twenty
four hours in all these and every early trilley was
put against, and there's been several of them, so it
looks like it looks like that may be a good
(06:05):
way to treat depression. Also, man's beer belly may seem
like harmless laziness, but apparently it could be linked to
heart damage. So something to look at.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Uh, we're gonna give me good news about this thing.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Adam's story number four the best one, well, I mean
not for this Brazilian teenager. He was mauled to death, yeah,
by a lioness in full view of zoop visitors after
scaling a six meter wall.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
And then this moron shimmy down a tree into the
actual enclosure, so he deliberately invaded the lioness enclosure.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
What was this guy's name? Look it. It didn't end
well for him. The lioness uh basically saw him coming
down the tree and walked over to the tree as
he was clinging to it. Yeah, it's just modeled to death.
That's that's about it. Yeah, play stupid game game, win
stuper prize scenario. It's like, yep, yep, you're an idiot.
(07:12):
He thought he was a lame a lion tamer and uh,
yeah he wasn't. That's one like a one chance shot.
It's like, I'm going to approve y'all. But there's no
like redos or do overs or mulligans or anything like that.
Like oh oh, it's different than being like, you know,
the horse whisper.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
You know, this is nothing like those doped up circus lions.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Right all right, So here is a crazy story if
you have home cameras. Four people have been arrested in
South Korea for hacking more than one hundred and twenty
thousand video cameras in homes and businesses, including ones in
you know, our country. They did this all over the globe,
(07:56):
but it's it's crazy. So they basically exploited the Internet
Protocol IP cameras vulnerabilities, which include things like simple passwords.
These home cameras connect to people's home internet networks, and
they often are installed for you know, for safety reasons,
(08:19):
to monitor kids or living rooms or high traffic areas
or baby rooms and so forth, right even pets. A
lot of people put them in for pets. Well, locations
of these cameras were basically these cameras were hacked into
by these people in South Korea. They revealed that four
(08:41):
suspects operate listening to this independently of one another, and
they did not conspire together. One of the suspects accused
of hacking more than sixty three thousand cameras and he
produced five hundred and forty five sexually explicit videos. So
they're hacking into these home security cameras, they're videoing people
(09:05):
and whatever it is. They're doing it whatever they can find,
and they're making sex tapes out of them and they
sell them online. Another guy was accused of hacking seventy
thousand cameras. He sold six hundred and forty eight different videos,
and he had more than eighteen million dollars that he
(09:27):
received selling these videos. Oh wow, Yeah, the first guy
had thirty five million that he received. These two suspects
were responsible for about sixty two percent of the videos
posted to a website that illegally distributes IP camera hacking footage.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
So, oh, so there's like a hub for it.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
There's a hub for it. People go, they subscribe to it,
and they they can watch watch all these videos of
you know, people completely on a where Yeah that that
they're on these videos. That's a wild that's a wild scenario.
Rights watch off of those home security yeah security cameras. Uh.
(10:13):
And lastly, Days the Wild story about a sixty seve
year old man. He started experiencing abdomino pain and bloating
about a month ago. So he goes to the hospital.
He need's safe to say, you know, after Thanksgiving dinner,
well thanks even dinner might a little fire in his stomach.
(10:35):
He uh, He goes to the hospital. They did some scans.
They noticed a foreign object in his stomach, but they
had trouble trying to figure out what it was. So
they performed the emergency procedure on him, and they had
a lot of trouble getting it out because it was
smooth and it was really slippery.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
The guy was showing the images of the object's shape.
He knew exactly what it was. This dumb ass, he said,
he was out drinking thirty years ago with some buddies
and they dared him to swallow a lighter. Oh wow,
(11:15):
young minnes so stupid nineteen I know, man, I know,
but still swallow a lighter. Oh yeah, I'll swallow that lighter.
I'm scared. This dumb ass swallowed lighter.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
After drinking some aftershock.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
He swallowed a lighter on a Dare this dummy? He
says he assumed it passed through his system. Will you
how you assume that? Like that whole assume makes an
ass out of it. It really hits the mark here.
Doctors were eventually able to remove it. They had to
(11:58):
wrap something around at first, like a you know, like
a condo like technique, because it was so slippery. Once removed,
doctor saying that it had been corroded by all of
his stomach acid, but it still had gas inside of
it and it still worked.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Was it a yes? Okay, yeah, those bics they worked
through a lot.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Dude in a man's gut for thirty years. And there's
a picture of it if you can stomach it. Ah uh, yeah,
there's there's a photo of it in the like you
see it. It's nasty, but yeah, the damn thing still
worked after thirty years of being in his gut. Wow,
it is that's crazy. His advice, Oh yeah, he goes says,
(12:52):
it sounds like the man will be okay.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
He did advice to avoid eating any lighters. Yeah, that's dumbasses.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
That is one dumb dude.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Dare you scoop? Dare you eat just lighter? Imagine?
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (13:14):
And he was able to do it. That's you know,
it's all right, that's pretty impressive. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Probably a lot of zemas went into went into that one.
Speaker 3 (13:23):

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
