From a world-record kidney stone the size of a grapefruit to a man attacking restaurant patrons with Skittles, this episode of News with Bill proves that truth really is stranger—and dumber—than fiction.
A Florida 7-Eleven clerk gets arrested after a Big Gulp battery, while a Las Vegas man lives with his dead roommate for weeks. I cover the Buffalo Wild Wings employee who texted mass shooting threats just to get out of work, and Burger King’s “All Cheese Cheeseburger” that’s literally nothing but 20 slices of cheese. A woman in Florida rips her ex-husband’s CPAP machine off his face mid-sleep, a Maryland woman breaks the world record for loudest burp, and a Minnesota man lands in jail for pelting strangers with Skittles. Then there’s the Burger King “Barbie Meal” featuring pink sauce that looks like chewed gum, the Sri Lankan soldier who had the world’s heaviest kidney stone removed, and a “foot fondler” arrested after sneaking into women’s rooms at night. I finish with the ten weirdest celebrity items ever sold, including William Shatner’s kidney stone, Britney’s pregnancy test, and Elvis’s hair.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
