made Oh okay, how funny isthat? So do you give the car
a ticket? I feel like maybeyou give a ticket to the guy that
answered the the the answering certain pointsto go against his license. I feel

(03:45):
like that's what you get for beingemployee of Weimo and being in charge of
this car when when I called Weimosays that inconsistent construction signage caused it.
But who gets the ticket in thatcase? Because is somebody listen right now,
did that? Or if you orI did that, we get a
ticket, right. I kind offeel like maybe you just write it to

(04:06):
Tuamo. Look them start accruing ticketsand at some point they can't have their
car on the road. I wonderwho gets the Uh yeah, my deal's
points man? Who gets points?Because that's not fair? Check up Weamo's
insurance. Right. So, drinkingone alcoholic beverage a day shortage of life

(04:28):
span for the average human two anda half months. Oh that's all.
I would have thought more. Iknow, five drinks today cut your lifespan
by anybody, anybody two years.Oh again, I would have thought more.

(04:48):
Again. I was like, solook, their study out today says
it might be worth it, allright. Look a group of teenagers in
Louisiana, they apparently called nine toone one because they were camping in the
middle of nowhere and apparently they reallytruly believed that they saw Bigfoot or Bigfoot

(05:14):
was after them. They called cops, and apparently these kids were all seventeen
eighteen years old. They called nineto one after reporting here a growl and
saw what appeared to be an animalthat had glowing eyes. That stood about
five feet tall. Oh well,Bigfoot's way bigger than five foot tall,

(05:34):
but glowing eyes. They were calledseeing a large animal that resembled Bigfoot shortly
after they set up camp. Now, look, Bigfoot is now going to
be five foot tall. Bigfoot's gonnabe fifteen foot tall. Right, five
foot tall Bigfoot. That's not evenBigfoot. That's small to medium foot at

(05:58):
best. If you're a seven oreighteen, seventeen or eighteen year old,
you gotta be able to whoop afive foot Bigfoot's ass. Think so huh
yeah, yeah, at least,you know, said for you and your
buddies following them. M hm,it's funny the teens were that serious about

(06:23):
calling nine one one. Deputies actuallycame out, said they they walked the
campsite. They were vigilant, prettyyou know the signs that the mytho logical
creature was round. Then it canfunny thing. Can you imagine being those
kids? I mean, like,you gotta be really scared to call nine

(06:44):
one one on a camping trip.I'm gonna go with some mushrooms were involved.
You have to call nine one one. I mean you gotta be ooh,
you gotta be scared, man,you gotta be scared anyway. Okay.
Third of Americans to turn off amovie after encountery a sex scene most

(07:09):
likely to turn it off. GenZers Railway gen Zers much more likely to
shy away from a sex scene thangenerations before them. Wonder what that is
for me to get me to turnoff a movie. It's probably got to
have killing a dog in it.That doesn't go over well with me.

(07:30):
John Wick, that was a toughone. That was a tough one to
push through. It's like, oh, this is one of those where they're
killing dogs, just the one dog, just the one. Yeah. Early
in the movie. Yeah, theyget it out of the way quick,
but you don't think about it muchafter that. It's on the killing the
people, right because it messed uphis mustang killed his dog. Oh hell
no, listen to this, youguys. A group of middle schoolers,

(07:57):
middle schoolers, so middle school,seventh and eighth grade. They got in
trouble for impersonating more than twenty teacherson TikTok and posting content as if they
were the teachers. Oh and contentnot good at all? How shady is

(08:18):
this? So they're making up pagesand basically stealing their photos and putting them
up and then posting content. Yeah, posting, racist, posting, homophobic
and sexual content. Oh. TheNew York Times called it the first known
group TikTok attack of its kind bymiddle schoolers in the United States. Isn't

(08:41):

somewhere in there? Yeah, likewhat that's insane? Middle school? That

(09:01):

after trying to car jag a womanwhile cop was driving by. Oh you
idiot. Study found even babies haveaccents. You know why babies? Yeah,
they pick up a language patterns whilestill in the womb. Oh yeah,
is it only the mothers? Likeif you went and vacation in Europe

(09:22):
and had a baby, and Ithink it would need more. I mean
it might need all nine months tookay, procure the accent. I don't
think a two week trip is gonnacome out with a British or UK accent.
Uh. But yeah, man,that's wild. They pick up language
patterns while still in the womb.Okay, pretty good. For a clump

(09:43):
of sales. Isn't it vending machines? This is insane. Vending machines are
now selling ammunition at grocery stores inAlabama. Okay, Wow, that's that's
different. Let's see here's a datinghacket. Woman in Wyoming has resorted to

(10:07):
write her contact info on golf ballsand just leaving them around a golf course.
Oh. I mean that seems alittle desperate, does it not?
I maybe if she has a niceappropriate message on there for a good time.
Paul Kennedy, you should see mystroke. Oh there you go,

(10:33):
I have these dimples on my butt. Study found that hippos get airborne when
running at full speed like a horse. Oh okay, all four feet come
off run gotcha? Yeah, butyou wouldn't guess that from a hippo.
Nope. A town of Glacier foryou, Alaska celebrated twenty year anniversary of
their signature car launch. It's prettydamn awesome. We got to share the

(10:56):
video. It's one of those videoswhere it's that town that hooks the cars
off that big rock Cory Cliff,and it is dude is badass man.
They hook so many cars and theyjust dude, it is a drop.
It's awesome. We ain't do thatafter twenty years. How many cars do
you think they've done, because itlooked like they had a good thirty or

(11:18):
forty of them though went this weekend. Yeah, I don't know. I
feel like they alunchould get thirty orforty every every year they do it and
for twenty years. Yeah, lookon a few hundred cars. It is.
Why are we so fascinated with carsjust getting hooked off a cliff?
It's so cool to watch it.Whoa and just get mangled. It is

(11:41):
awesome. Uh all right? Howabout this? As the Internet likes to
say, this is this is veryown brand, if you will. Police
in Wisconsin put out APB after somebodythrew cheese on somebody else's car. Oh
man, wait, somebody was comeand through cheese. Say it and so
that's like getting assalted by potato andIdaho. It happened a nine forty five

(12:07):
last Monday. The victim said itfelt like somebody was trying to chase them
down and then that person threw cheeseat their vehicle or would they just like
through some like American slices. That'swhat I'm thinking, just weaponized slice geese.
The uh. It's probably the mostwisconstant complaint ever seved their Facebook post

(12:33):
what to say not gouda, it'sunbreelievable that somebody would do that. Throwing
cheeses not your best look pretty funny. They don't have any suspects yet,
which is kind of funny. Soif a wishing well switches to a contactless

(12:54):
payment, what do you think thedonations do for said wishing well? Gotta
go down? Oh, they ain'tgonna go up. There's a wish well
in England switched to contactless payments sothey can't toss coins in it anymore,
and part of the pun here,but it's not going well. It's an

(13:16):
old Roman bathhouse in England's two thousandyears old and it's I guess a cold
water pool that people could jump inafter a hot bath. But for years
to us have a tossing coins init for good luck, and it's brought
in a lot of money for charity. It's kind of crazy, but this
thing brought in over one hundred andthirty five thousand dollars a year. Wow,

(13:39):
that's pretty significant for a I couldimagine having that much money on for
charity. God like eleven grand amonth going down that thing. Yeah,
well, people throw coins in it, and apparently they stopped during the pandemic.
They switched to contact list payments intwenty twenty two. So you still
make a wish or a donation forgood luck, but you have to you

(14:01):
have to drop your coin in abox or use a credit card to donate
or an app. So you wantto know how much they were making before
they switched in what they're making now? Sure, they're making an average of
about one hundred and thirty five thousanddollars a year. Okay, before they

(14:22):
switched to contactless payments. Now theyhaven't made well, last year they didn't
make fourteen thousand dollars from one hundredand thirty three to less than fourteen.
Wow, dude, that's crazy,says they says they did make the change

(14:45):
to be jerks. Let's see,the process of retrieving and clean the coins
wasn't cheap, so that's why theyinitially went to it. But they said
a child making a wish for thecontactless card does not have the same magical
appeal as it does just you know, make it a wish and toss a

(15:07):
coin in the word right right,that's not how wishes work. Now,
It's like, what's going what' wasn'tit two fairy going? You know,
cashless can't put a wish on credit? Hey you right? It seems weird
all right? And lastly, Ithought this was kind of funny in Hoa
in California. Thank god they tablethis, But residents of this one hundred

(15:33):
and sixty five townhome community received theletter earlier this month from the Proper Property
Management company saying that they're gonna,uh, they're gonna upgrade and repair things
like russ grodgesd drainages, et ceteraat the cost of man sixty d's.

(15:56):
Oh, sixty thousand dollars per townhome is what they're asking now. They
said they could pay sixty thousand dollars, but July first, twenty twenty five,
they can do it in four quarterlyinstallments of fifteen thousand dollars or pay
sixty thousand dollars in thirty two quarterlyinstallments of eighteen hundred and seventy five bucks

(16:18):
over eight years, sayes sixty thousanddollars for an HOA upgrade fee. Can
you imagine if your Hoa just tappedin the doors today. We're raising your
HOA fees by sixty thousand dollars thisyear. Like wow, yeah, they

(16:41):
put it on the shelf for now. Residents try to figure out what their
next movie. Ooh, that's alot though. Like if we have a
hailstorm, our people come to usand be like, all right, we
have to come up with six grandeach. But there is an insurance line
for that as well. Right,I don't know if my insurance would cover
that sixty thousand dollars per person perunit. Yeah, unit in one hundred

(17:04):
and sixty five units. Wow,whoa impressing everybody at their homes y'all.
It's crazy.
