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.
