Brian (00:02):
A long time.

. All right.
So we got a couple storiesI think to tell here.
So Kendall, you got the

Kendle (00:32):
good today.
Yeah.
So I'm gonna go good.
And I realized when I foundthe story that I definitely
have three very strong themes.
I love a murder mystery scandal.
We know that I love ananimal with a punny name.
, and I love a girl Power story.
. Brian: I wasn't as positive about the last one, but I mean,

(00:52):
knowing you I do know that, but I
wasn't sure.
As soon as I found this one,I was like, yeah, do it.
So, have you ever heardof Brave Bessie Coleman?
Yes.
But why?
She was the first African American andNative American aviator, like pilot.
Okay.
Female.
So in 1929, obviously women couldn'tbecome pilots and she really wanted to

(01:17):
be, so she learned French and I don'tknow if you've ever heard French, but
that is not an easy language to pick up.
And sailed herself over to France cuzthey were letting women be pilots.
Went to flight school, gotall of her stuff, came.
Flew in the twenties.
Did like barnstorming.
She's known for like her tricks.
She would stand on the tipsof her airplanes and like do

(01:40):
tricks while it was flying.
So.
Brave.
Bessie Coleman is nowbeing honored by Mattel.
Barbie is coming out with a line of,oh, I had it inspirational women dolls.
Nice.
And so she is the first likeAfrican American doll that
they've picked for their line.

(02:00):
Nice.
Barbies.
I believe she's

Brandon (02:02):
in the aviation museum now that you say that.
And the whole she actually hadsome action in World War ii.
One, one of them.

Kendle (02:10):
One, I think

Brian (02:10):
one she died since the twenties was after

Brandon (02:12):
World War I.
Yeah.
So it's World War II since something

Kendle (02:15):
died in 1934.
Okay.
So I lied, like an airplanecrash, but she did.
. She helped.
Oh, it was somewhere in here.
She helped with like transporting.

Brandon (02:27):
Yeah, she did.
She had something and thenshe died in an airplane.

Kendle (02:30):
Yeah.
She helped transport like military planes?
Yes, around the country for a while.
Oh, cool.
Yeah.

, Brandon (02:35):
and, yeah, I I did read something about her in the aviation museum.

Kendle (02:38):
Yeah.
Yeah.
She, but like, the most impressivepart of it is like she taught herself
French , like above all of it else,is like, she couldn't get it done
here, so she found out she could doit in another, she got the Babel app.
Yeah.
And like, learned French in the twenties.
Went and became a pilot in anotherlanguage, came home and did

Brian (02:57):
it here.
I mean, I just know enough.
When I'm in France, I get jumpbony from Maj, like Mok . I

Kendle (03:04):
don't even know that.

Brandon (03:05):
I'll take one of them.
Chris Sand,
, . Brian: Brandon's like, can I have an e Claire, please?

Kendle (03:10):
Right.
Emily and Paris speak a little Italian.
Came Netflix and theyspeak French on it a lot.
And then it is like, mama.
Like I.

Brian (03:20):
The interesting thing like about the French thing and it's not, you're
right, French of all the romance languagesI think is the hardest because like
Italian is similar to Spanish and ifyour Spanish is your bases, yeah, you can
kind of pick, can also pick up Portuguesepretty quickly too, cuz they're very

Kendle (03:35):
close.
But French is truly just like grumbles.
Yeah.
Well, it is just a

Brian (03:39):
series because it's based off of Latin.
Like it's still supposed to be reasonablyclose, but it's also like not just, so if
you read it, French is easier to read thanto say, because saying it like, there's
different ways you've gotta contort your,the way you express things the emphasis is
on different syllables than you'd expect.
And so like, yeah.

(04:00):
But no, I mean, it's.
, that's a feat.
Yeah.
To be able to do that's a, notto take anything away from her,
that alone let alone fly a plane.
Two of two things of which I'venever been able to master . Right.
I can't do things whilewe're talking about it.

Brandon (04:13):
Flying's easy landing's a bitch.

Brian (04:17):
probably, well, apparently flying's easy.
She's like doing cartwheelson the wings while the plane's

Brandon (04:20):
flying.
It turns out the plane will fly itself.
It's the landing.
That's the tricky
part.
. Kendle: But also, this was in the twenties and like planes are.

Brian (04:28):
And crash a lot.
Those planes had multiple wings, right?

Kendle (04:31):
Like they invented flying in like what?
19 0 8, 19 0 3.
So like Flying's only 20years old at this point.
Yes.

Brandon (04:38):
That was a good time when planes parts would just fall off

Kendle (04:41):
of it.
, right.
And yet she's out there just liketap dancing and on the wings.
Yeah.
It's crazy, but yeah, she'sgonna have a Barbie after her.
And I was a Barbie kid,so very excited for that.
Yeah,

Brian (04:54):
I, no, I that's a good setting too, because a lot of.
Little girls as they play with Barbies.
. I mean, they're not just playingwith them because they look good,
they, and they can accessories.
Right.
No,

Kendle (05:05):
Barbie can't do anything.
Yeah.
She's a doctor.
She's a vet.
Yeah.
. She does all

Brian (05:08):
that.
She's got a Corvette.
She's, I'd like to see a certification.

Kendle (05:10):
She lives in the Malibu beach house.
Yeah.
Like you can be anyone if

Brian (05:14):
a Barbie, her car was shared by a gremlin.
. Right.
I mean,
that's bringing it all back together.
That's what I'm here for.
That's my only

Kendle (05:24):
job.
They got rid of kin.
They brought back kin, butBarbie has always stayed the

Brian (05:27):
same.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now Barbie's got some historicallysignificant friends to add, so that's

Kendle (05:33):
good.
Yeah.
Now she's got a whole lineof inspiring friends to be

Brian (05:35):
that's.
Okay.
Well, can I put a downer on things?
Sure.
Always.
All right.
I got the bad.
Yeah, always . Even when you got thegood, Brian, you still bring it down.
. All right, so I've gotthe bad story today.
So I saw this and I couldn't pass overit that apparently at a British medical
clinic, thousands of patients receiveda horrific text message right at
Christmas time and that, and these areall patients that had come in that it

(06:00):
had been discovered that they had lung.
That's what the text said.
Oh no.
And it said, but the message thatwent out turned out to be a mistake.
They retracted it, saying, pleaseaccept our sincere apologies
for a previous text message.
This has been sent in air.
Our message to you should have read.
We wish you a very MerryChristmas and a happy new.
No.

(06:20):
Oops.
It's, it
have a happy year.
So, so they interviewed one of thepeople that received the text and
like I had to laugh cuz like, Ididn't know is this a British thing
or what, but she's, it's okay.
So it's text messages.
Oh,

Kendle (06:34):
you're gonna die , right?
Like, that doesn't feel likea text message conversation.

Brian (06:38):
So what what had happened was they sent out the wrong text and then they
realized it, but there was a delay insome of the text messages getting out.
So some people went like fouror five hours with the bad.
Oh, before they got the, it's a mistake.
It's a Christmas Miracle.
. I'm cured.
This is also a Hallmark episode.
, but okay, so then this patient, Sarah HarHargraves told the broadcaster she had

(07:01):
been waiting for biopsy results, right?
As the time she received themessage and she said, this is
the part I don't understand.
Is this a British thing or not?
She felt sick to my teeth and broke.
You suck Jackass.
I've just never

Kendle (07:15):
heard that I stick to my teeth.
Never heard that phrase.

Brian (07:18):
I mean,
. Brandon: I've been
hungry where my teeth hurt . Well, and to be quite honest, like
with that kinda news, maybe I would besick to my teeth and I don't know it.
Right.
You know?
I mean I've

Kendle (07:27):
never had that kinda news.
That is the worst news you can get.
So maybe it does make your teeth hurt.

Brandon (07:31):
Yeah, I'm sure it make everything

Kendle (07:33):
hurt.
, I know all of it.
So

Brian (07:35):
feeling my kidneys, one person is stating the obvious, but I'm sure
it's what we've all just thought islike they went from you've got lung
cancer to Merry Christmas in an hour.
It was unbelievable.
, Kendle: I.
Is that auto correct?
Like did somebody spellsomething just about like
why would that even

Brandon (07:53):
be ? , I gotta ask, would you ever text?
Like, I can't imaginethat would be a prognosis.
A doctor would tell you over day.
Okay.
Now you, do you

Kendle (08:01):
remember, I, if that is an in-person

Brian (08:03):
conversation.
I, I think we've talked about this on anepisode way, way back at the beginning,
but like to me that's probably somelike intern that's going like send.
Yeah.
You know, like, remember the thisis my last day, the plane in San
Francisco that went off the track,the Korean Airlines where it's
like, , we too low like , well, wasn't.
In Hawaii.

(08:23):
Holy , shit.

Brandon (08:26):
something wrong.

Brian (08:28):
crash.
Boom bang, . I didn't likethe people read it on me.
. Straight-faced
. Kendle: Well, wasn't there that text message in Hawaii that was
like, oh, false alarm on me'scoming and we're all gonna die?
And it was like six hourslater it was like, sorry.
That button shouldn't have got
pushed.
Yes.
Yes.
But the fact that thereis a button, right?

(08:49):
? Brandon: Yes.
It's the emergency.
Technically, I guess it'dbe the emergency broadcast.
. I set my coffee on the button.
. Brian: Just go sit on the beach and enjoy what you get to see.
. You guys, it's over with, right?
We're all doomed.

Brandon (08:58):
Have you guys seen Rogue One?
You should do that.

Brian (09:00):
Yeah.

Kendle (09:02):
I just, yeah.
Why is that Like a pre-programmed,

Brian (09:05):
but what option I don't get, like with this whole text
thing is like, I don't know.
I mean, I know how technology works and Iknow there's a way to send mass texts, but
there's also gotta be a function where younotice this is going to an individual or a
mass text and who sends to an individual,you've got lung cancer by text.
That's what I, that's what I was saying.
Sitting there.
That's the whole time.

(09:25):
Who's expecting to get this by text?

Brandon (09:27):
Yes, that's, I said that is a in Yeah, that is a face-to-face conversation.
Right.
Hundred percent.
I have questions and that's like

Brian (09:33):
immediately I need you to come down to my office.
Bring your five closest friends.
Yes.
Or family members.

Kendle (09:37):
Right.
Cuz like you're probably not gonnahear the rest of what I'm gonna

Brian (09:40):
say.

Brandon (09:40):
Yeah.
Yes.
I'm sure it'll be that.
T H x.

Kendle (09:44):
Whoa.
And everything goes

Brian (09:46):
blank.
And then I have a lot ofrespect for the British.
They tend to do things very likeorderly and mannerly, but that just
seems like really outta character.
No, that is not a great,

Kendle (09:54):
I do that.
Totally.
And they're not normal for their likewarmth, , however, , you got a point.
It feels like.
That's a bit cold.
Right.
I mean, they

Brian (10:04):
would've, instead of saying lung cancer, they would've
called a cancer of the lung.
You know, like a littlebit more sophisticated
. Kendle: And to get your diagnosis in that way just feels rough.
Yeah.
. Well, we'll

Kendle (10:16):
just, well, you know, and also, this was clearly at Christmas time.
Yeah.
What a way to like ruin someone's holiday.

Brandon (10:22):
Yeah.
At least, you know, the newergeneration likes to send things by
text Plus, that'd imagine All theguilt is taken off my, and I could.
I don't

Brian (10:29):
do it if I look at 'em, but I don't Yeah.
Don't make plans

Brandon (10:31):
for

Brian (10:31):
February . Yeah.
Yeah.
I would shut things down around March.
Yeah.
Worst.
So there was my bad story for today.

Kendle (10:40):
All right.
Yep.
Teed it up perfectly.
That was a downer.
. Brian: All right.
So, for the win
, Brandon: all right, so I got the whatever, right?
You do.
. All right.
Go to my peeps.
So this is a Florida surf.
Ah,
yes.
. There she is.

Brandon (10:56):
It says the, whatever a Florida man challenges everyone to a bar
fight after the police are called, so
. Kendle: Oh yeah.
You wanna
bet?
Yeah.
He apparently was GatorLin's illegal . Yeah.
Apparently he was celebratingsomething and he walked in and said,
I'm running on two hours of sleep

Brian (11:16):
for cup of coffee and a.

Brandon (11:21):
So he goes in, gets apparently hammered.
He's down to his no shirt, pants,pulled down past his waist where his
boxers or So you're still wearing 'em

Brian (11:30):
though?

Brandon (11:31):
Still wearing them?

Brian (11:31):
Yep.

Kendle (11:32):
Pants on.
Still cut.
Still down.
Look, cause you gotta, youstand with your feet far apart.
, no,

Brandon (11:36):
no shoes, no socks.
Ugh.
Of course.
In a bar.
Imagine what the floor would feel like.

Kendle (11:43):
just so gritty.
. Yeah.
No sticky.

Brandon (11:46):
Yeah.
So the cops show up and they , theytell him to sit on a bench, he falls
off and each crap off the bench.
. Kendle: And so he's already.
Hammered.
Okay.
There he is.
Smashed.
By the time he gets,the cops even get there.
I hope so.
So he's sitting on the bench, halfdressed, falls off, hits his head,

(12:10):
they get him back up, and now thebystanders around are egging him on.
. So

Kendle (12:14):
as you do.
Yeah.
. Brandon: I mean, I'm sure they've been drinking, so they're starting
to egg him on and he proceeds tochallenge the whole bar to a fight.
Just says, Steph, one up.
And I will f all you.
Together.
So I could just imaginehow this is all going down
. Brian: I can imagine Line forming.
Oh yeah.

(12:34):
. Yes, please.
In
the, I grew up with a boy that I am picturing doing this right now.
, like I can put a face to a body.

Brandon (12:42):
Yeah.
It says, see in the excerpt it said noshoes, no shirt and all all the problems.

Brian (12:47):
Full service
. Brandon: Yeah.
Was clear evidence.
He was overserved the strong smell of.
Can
was coming from in

Brandon (12:55):
shame.
, Kyle.
Yeah.
Kyle's person.
, you know, if you can smell somebody froma foot away, a hundred percent of alcohol.
They've been doing somehard drinking Yeah.
For a while.

Kendle (13:05):
Yeah.
This has been a couple days

Brian (13:07):
coming.
Yeah.
Right now the, their kidneys area different color and their liver
just stopped functioning altogether.

Brandon (13:13):
Yes.
Now, absorbing

Kendle (13:15):
alcohol.
. They are a human sponge.
Yeah.

Brandon (13:18):
Ugh.
Yeah.
So, Mr.
Kyle is probably still nursing a hangover.
, you know, you get your one dayhangovers two day, and then there's
the about four or five day hangover.
I will never recover.
Yeah.
I don't feel right for a week.
. Brian: Yeah.
They have to like, use the defibrillatorto get your organs to start working again.
Yeah.
A lot of, have you everseen that on two kidneys?

(13:38):
It's weird.
. Brandon: Yeah.
I.
I definitely need

Brian (13:41):
fluids.
. Yeah.
Like the like, I mean, Vegas is probablythe place that is most notorious
for it, but like where you go to getthose IVs with the B12 IVs, you sit
there like could have the worst night.
I've never done it.
I've just, I know.
Allegedly.
Yeah.
Allegedly . But this is what I've heard.
Well, I have a real problem with IVs.
That's why you'd neveractually get me to do I have a

Brandon (14:02):
problem with hangovers.
, Kendle: yeah.
I'd.
Have an IV, then a hangover.

Brian (14:06):
But you get those in like an hour and a half later,
like you're back on the horse.
, I'm back, baby Frank.
Oh, that's pretty good.
So,

Brandon (14:16):
yeah.
Yeah.
So don't don't get stupid drunkand then challenge the bardo
fight or the whole bardo fight.
Cuz if you can't sit on abench I doubt seriously.
You're gonna, I

Kendle (14:25):
doubt you'll take down the whole bar
. Brian: Yeah.
One twirl and you'll be on the floor.
Yeah.
They'll just

Brandon (14:28):
back up and you'll be on your ass,
. Brian: Oh.
Still be good to see though.
Yes.
Oh, well, I mean, I wouldn't turn away that.
Me either, , I might bein the background yelling.
That

Brian (14:40):
might be a liar, but you can't do it.

Kendle (14:42):
I'm little.
I would definitely warm myway to the front of that.
Yeah.
. Brian: Oh, please, . Hey, can you get a video of me like
laying this guy out real quick?
I need to watch

Brandon (14:50):
this.
Yeah, that's like my best friendover at the the local bar here.
barely standing up,challenged me to a fight.
I'm like, oh, okay.
Which partner?
Oh, sure.
You remember the night thatshe'll not speak it's name?

Brian (15:01):
Oh yeah.
That was funny.
. Yeah,

Brandon (15:05):
dude was barely able to stand up ch oof challenging me to fight.
I'm like, maybe not.
If I wasn't 48 years old,I might go out and show

Brian (15:14):
you . Well, and it's cuz he was like 62 or something.
Yeah, he was

Brandon (15:19):
definitely older than me, but I was like, Not today,
. Kendle: I don't have time

Brian (15:25):
for this today.
You're gonna live.
Yeah.

Brandon (15:27):
And it's funny cuz the bartender just leaned over and goes,
