Ever wondered what goes through the mind of a toddler daring enough to scale the insides of a claw machine? That's exactly what we're chuckling over as we recount the tale of an adventurous tot in an Australian mall and the Queensland police's plush toy rescue mission. Childhood dreams clash with reality in this humorous look at the great claw machine escape. And if you've ever had to stop little hands from swiping expensive store items, you'll nod along as we share personal anecdotes, like my son's selective distaste for dirty hands—unless, of course, snacks like Cheetos are involved.
Hold onto your hats because we're not just reminiscing about arcade games and parenting tactics. We've got a story about a canine hero at Customs and Border Protection sniffing out something you won't believe. Speaking of unbelievable, we also investigate the curious case of mummified monkeys discovered in a traveler's luggage at Boston Logan Airport. From the quirky to the macabre, we bring to light the serious global health implications while still embracing the oddities of human behavior. And let's give it up for the customs dogs keeping our borders safe!
As we gear up for our next big step, launching into the world of YouTube, we invite you to join us on this vibrant new platform where we promise auditory and visual delights. While we're at it, we're opening the doors wide to our community—your stories, your comments, your concerns are all welcome. Be a part of the conversation as we grow together.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the WWE coming at you live reporting
from an Australian shopping mall.
Are we really?
(01:19):
We are live on scene with hellokitty wait.
Oh, hello kitty, what.
And?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
apparently the Queensland police and hello
kitty from our Australianshopping mall.
Welcome back to word rollvariety.
We are on the scene at anAustralian shopping mall.
We wanted to report on thislive.
We've got some weird news foryou today, jesse.
(01:52):
How weird is the news?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
it is super weird super weird how weird, because
from the last episode we wentfrom a kangaroo to an Australian
shopping mall.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Now we're going back to people and exactly you know
little people, so why don't youtopple this story for us?
Speaker 1 (02:14):
topple topple the story toddler gets stuck after
climbing into a claw machinelooking for a toy in Australian
shopping.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Now putting that aside, pause.
Have you ever had the intrusivethought as a kid?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
to climb into the machine.
I barely remember being a kid.
So no, I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I have always wanted to do this wanted to climb into
a yes claw machine because I'vealways wanted to like, figure
out, like, is there a way that Icould reach my arm in there and
get like the toy that I had,the thief mindset as a kid.
Well, claw machines were such arip off, I can get a free toy
claw machines were such a ripoff, you would put in like $10
(02:59):
and it would even grab the toygrip right no, they don't grip
at all and you can set thosethings to grip like one out of
81.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I think I would rather the points be sharp so
that punctures whatever.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I'm kind of trying to grab well, I know for sure I'm
getting it.
It's also on them to program it.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Program the claw to grip well, they must program it
on the weakest setting so thatnobody wins or very rarely wins.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I was just trying to tell you that they program it
one out of 50 times, one out of100 times, one out of 200 times.
That's how they program it.
So, as a kid, there's alwaysthought it would be fun to climb
into a claw machine now if youwere playing hide and seek.
And you've seen YouTube.
These days there are a lot ofhide and seek versions where
people climb into claw machines.
(03:45):
I've seen that.
What?
Yeah, so the claw machine?
They'll make it so thatsomebody can get in.
Well, you're famous, you canclimb into it and seek.
Then again, internet was barelyused, if at all, when you were
Henry now most of those videosare set up, so I don't suggest
(04:05):
anybody do this in real life.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I wouldn't they have already like prepared against
this by now?
Uh I mean the whole smaller orsomething, Clown machines are
pretty secure.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I don't know how this kid even got in here.
To be honest, he doesn't looklike he would fit.
I mean, maybe he doesn't looklike he, I don't know maybe
that's a pretty big toddlerright.
That's pretty big.
So how in the world did he getin there?
They have a video of it, heteleported I knew like look,
look, look at this guy.
He's stuck in there Likesecurity and police are like, uh
(04:37):
, what's going on?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
But if he crawled in there, couldn't he crawl back
out?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Uh, not if the trap door locks, because he probably
got through the trap door.
The trap door doesn't go theother way, or no?
Speaker 1 (04:49):
there's probably a key door to the back.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah, see the see the lock on the side here.
That's a key right there, sothey should be able to open that
up, no problem.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Is this section?
I'm opening it up.
No cause.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Then again, the people who own the claw machines
are not there, so they don'thave the key to get in.
So that's also an interestingoh man.
Imagine being a third party.
You only go to that mall once amonth.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Well, the police could smash it right yeah if
they had to.
Yeah, there it is.
I knew it, they were going tosmash it.
I had a feeling they were goingto smash it.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Then they would just report to the third party what
happened.
So I mean, and then it wouldprobably fall on the third party
to pay for the damages, eventhough you know that was his
fault.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
And they charged parents.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I guess you can't really build a kid.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Yeah, but they could build a parent.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
They could.
I don't know if they did,though, but anyway, any old
house Brisbane, australia.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Australian police came to the aid of a three year
old after he became trappedinside a club.
I mean at a suburban shoppingmall.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Video of the unusual rescue Saturday was shared on
social media by Queenslandpolice on Thursday.
It showed the toddler sittinginside the glass wall box filled
with plush toys, blissfullyunaware of his predicament.
The boys father.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Timothy Hopper said his son had disappeared into the
claw machine's prize dispenserand inside it in a split second.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
So he found a way.
Don't know how he did it, buthe found a way.
I had zero chance to react toit.
It was unbelievable how fast heclimbed up there.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation
reported Hopper saying the videothen shows the officers and the
boys, parents, encouraging himinto a safe corner the back of
the machine and to cover hiseyes, while the police shatter a
glass panel to free himunharmed.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
The video ends with one of the officers joking with
the boy you want a prize.
Which one do you want?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Freedom or the plushie.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Well, no, they probably did give him one, but
that was just a really funnylike.
They probably did give him, Iwould imagine, like especially
if the toddler yeah, come on now, whatever you wanted.
It's just funny.
It's not going to do anythingharm.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
And the guy that owns the like smash it happens.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
The guy that owns these claw machines is not going
to lose money on one toy Likethey like they said.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
they said it.
He does have to replace themachine glass.
Yes, that's the only thing he'dprobably lose money on.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
But I don't think this glass is super expensive
only because it's such a smallpanel.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
You'd have to get it right from the manufacturer or
whatever it might be.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
And I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Maybe put it back on there Also it's another.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
No, I think it just sits in there, to be honest.
If you had to do that, thenyeah, it could potentially be
maybe I kind of compare it likeanything glass related to, like
when you're replacing car glass,because car glass is heavy duty
.
Right, so if you have smallerpanel glass and especially where
that's like partially plastic,it should be less expensive.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Have you ever replaced a window?
Yeah, a House window, carwindow what?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
yeah, car windows mostly, but house yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, it's not always that easy, depending on the
size, shape.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
But you're also talking about a lot thicker
glass that what he's?
That was that look, the clawmachine glass is not.
The claw machine glass isnothing.
This stuff, like the housewindows and the car, that's
expensive.
That's thick glass, this is so.
It shouldn't cost him too much,is all I'm saying.
I mean, but it was more funnythan anything that he got stuck
(08:48):
in there.
So moral the story.
Keep an eye on your toddleryeah, crazy parents, watch your
kids.
I can honestly relate.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Why is he'll be on the news like this?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
I can honestly relate how hard, it is to keep up with
a toddler, because You'll beshopping.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I'm so glad I ain't gonna be there.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
You'll be shopping at Walmart in one minute.
They're with you.
You turn around and they'rejust Wandering off.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I want to deal with that, at least not right now.
You're like hey, hey, hey, hey,hey, I would probably use that
kid leash honestly the childleaves.
Yeah, I think I would use that.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
That's a very controversial subject.
I don't care, I'm just sayingmy kid, I'm saying there's
there's pros to it, but I'msaying it's, it's funny because
it's controversial.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Oh well, if you don't like it.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I think it's fine, because most of those are safety
oriented, like they just have avest.
So it's not like that crazy.
It's not like you're putting alot of straps on your kid or
nothing.
It's just it's just a vest.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I think I'm out right now.
No, they have.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
They have complete freedom to wander wherever they
want, but the least.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Just make sure that you don't lose that Funny with
that knocking over shelves andstuff.
Like they say they run aroundright around the corner to the
next you have to watch out forthat.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
You do have to watch out for that, kids.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
You're clad or an, everywhere kids love to touch
stuff man.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I mean as a child.
They want to explore, they wantto know what the world is, so
they want to touch everything.
I remember my associates when Iback, when I used to sell like
shoes.
My associates would roll theireyes because any kind of kid
would come in and want to touchthe most expensive.
Jordan, or like the mostexpensive thing, get their oily
hands all over and maybe theyjust ate or something in there.
(10:38):
It's like no.
Everyone around stores like ithe, he mostly, he mostly kept to
himself there that he did it,he did explore and he did touch
stuff, but it wasn't like itwasn't.
(11:00):
Because here's the differencebetween my son and a lot, of, a
lot of other kids he doesn'tlike his hands messy, so when
he's touching stuff, his handsare usually pretty clean, like
you, whenever he yeah, like soif his hands get messy, he
doesn't like it, he'll wash hishands.
So like, immediately flip out,you got lucky.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Sounds like so well.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
There's.
There's your own pros and conswith that.
You know what I mean.
But like he would like not wantto get his hands messy, so if
he touched stuff, it's usuallyhe wouldn't have anything on it.
Now, hmm, the that sounds kindof ideal to me the one outlier
of that is if he gets into a bagof Cheetos or Doritos and then
(11:42):
goes to touch stuff, because hewill get his hands messy for
those If he doesn't like it.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
You said he'll wash it.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Right, he would, but I'm saying once he eats cheetahs
and Doritos, he wouldn'tnecessarily go to wash his hands
right away.
That's what I was saying.
So but anything else, like ifit's mud or what he'll be like
yeah, I gotta wash my hands, yep.
Yeah, that's just him, that'shim.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
That's funny.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Well, speaking of surprise things when you don't
want them, this is aninteresting story that I thought
would be Weird to talk about aC Bp dog.
I believe it's the patrol dogor whatever.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Customs and border protection dog.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Okay, so a custom is in border protection dogs, so
basically kind of like airportsecurity dogs.
Same idea sniffs out somethingunusual in passengers luggage
mummified Monkeys, kind ofcreepy and they have a photo.
Look at this thing, bro.
What in the world is that?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
It's like two monkey heads on top of a rock.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Three one, two, three , yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
That is Now what the heck's up with it.
There's a hole in his head.
What's going on there?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
There's at least three there.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Oh, so the top of his head or back of his head?
Oh, here we go.
Boston AP all right, a UScustoms border patrol dog Same
thing, sniffed out somethingunusual in luggage from a
traveler returning from Africamummified monkeys the passenger
(13:44):
returning from a visit to theDemocratic Republic of Congo
reported that the luggagecontained dried fish, but an
inspection at Boston LoganAirport revealed dead and
dehydrated bodies of fourmonkeys.
Oh, so there's only three inthe picture, but there's four.
The traveler said he broughtthe monkeys into the US for his
own consumption.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
What Well Ryan visit, a CPB spokesperson, said Sunday
is what Raw or minimallyprocessed meat from wild animals
, sometimes referred to asbushmeat, is banned in the US
Because of a threat of disease.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
The potential dangers posed by bringing bushmeat into
the United States are real.
Bushmeat can carry germs.
It can cause illness, includingthe Ebola virus or Ebola Sorry,
said Julio Caravia, local portdirector for Customs and Border
Protection.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
The incident happened last month, but was made public
on Friday.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Seth said Sunday that no charges were filled, but all
are filed.
Sorry, but all the luggage wasseized and the nearly nine
pounds or four kilograms ofbushmeat were marked for
destruction by US Centers forDisease Control and Prevention
probably lit that stuff on fire.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
They're all like get rid of that.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
That's pretty awful.
I did not expect it to say hebrought it for his consumption.
I was expecting to be like I'ma archaeologist or something
that, or whatever a preservationof museum person, something
like that.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I've heard of wild game, but this is another level
it's bones in it.
Oh, maybe it's dried out.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
It's like dead skin.
Why would you want to eat?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
it's like beef jerky.
I just wanted to know it's nota little judgmental here.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
I like animals, but that's just great.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
And the haters will say at least it's not McDonald's
.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
The monkey monkey advocates are really like well.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Yeah, but do it.
It this way.
It's kind of like just weird.
Right, like that was prettyweird.
First of all, it's illegalnumber one.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
I mean, this is weird .
Speaker 2 (16:27):
You can't bring in raw meat because of the dangers
of disease.
Second, we just got over apandemic.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Yeah, we don't need a bowl over here now, we don't
need another one.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Third what the heck are you doing?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Think some people just have a screw loose that
that guy had Listen.
People even in the wild, like,say, tribal, they cook their
meat, eating it.
Are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (16:55):
That is definitely one of the reason for fire was
for them to cook through.
This is definitely one of theweirdest stories yet, but having
mummified Mummified monkeys,rotten and spoiled meat that's
like.
Dude, it's nasty.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
That's savage.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Savage is probably much better than yeah oh dude,
that's disturbing, I don't know.
Thanks so much for the nextmental scar.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Thank you, lord, for our dogs that.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
That sniffed this stuff out bro, it probably hurt
that.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
It probably hurt that beagles nose.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
That dog was probably His.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Nostrils were filing like boss, I need therapy for
three days after this.
I just sniffed out some 10.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I need a.
I need at least a month off nowboss, this is smelling kind of
weird boss.
Can you imagine if they weretalking oh, it smells all nasty,
it's over here.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
What's in your backpack.
Remember when they said what'sin here?
Speaker 1 (18:07):
What's in your backpack is you'd be the next
thing, yeah what's in yourbackpack, like run wild what's
in your traveling case?
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Dude, that's like going back in time, like we have
all these abilities to cook meand preserve it and all the
options and this guy's bringingback mummified.
Oh my gosh.
And it's not expensive either,like a ziploc baggies how much.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I guess he could have not known that it was illegal
or whatever, but he had to have.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I didn't think that.
Isn't that a?
Bush meat Well yeah, well no,isn't that kind of thing like a
worldwide rule for?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
a lot of countries.
I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I thought so just because off of Common sense it
just would make well that itshould be common sense, yes, but
but they don't really talkabout it.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
So I get, I don't know until today.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yeah, they don't really talk about it.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Did you Are you?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
do you already did?
I did know that well I think.
Well, here's the thing for metraveling a lot, I look up a lot
of rules before going into acountry.
You have and if you look up, ifyou just look up common sense,
traveling was that's one of themany illegal things that you're
Not a cared enough to look it upor something or ask any.
(19:20):
The other illegal thing is not.
The other illegal thing isgoing into an airport and saying
the word bomb.
That's the other illegal thing.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
What my question is how do you get on the plane in
the first place?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I don't know and make it over here.
Was it a plane?
Oh, Actually.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I don't know if it told us it said Border patrol.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
I guess that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
But I said border protection Returning from Africa
, so it had to have been onplane right.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
It says airport yeah, Washington Logan Airport.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Yeah, so it had to been playing.
How did he get past?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
How do you get it on the first plane and?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
because in Africa they don't stand for this mess.
They shouldn't know they don't.
They have a tight securitysystem.
Did I almost tell you that Ialmost got kicked out of Africa
once?
Oh, you have to you have tohave all your affairs in order
when you go over to Africa andthey have to know where you're
going.
Like it's strict.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Oh, so you have to like, I have a plan, a schedule
or something, yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yeah, and you have to have contacts, like you have to
know where you're going.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
So you have to provide them names and
everything.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Oh, so how did this mess I had to have?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
but there's not much other explanation for that.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Where are you hiding your dead monkeys?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Yeah, you can't hide that smell either.
I wouldn't think you imaginestanding in the custom line.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
I'm pretty sure people would still smell that
too.
I just forgot the utterance,sir.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
That's all, unless they assumed it was him.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
He just stunk yeah they just assumed it was him,
he's just like bad be.
Oh, that's what.
I'm sorry, you smell like deadmonkeys.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
I have always wanted to do this wanted to climb into
a yes claw machine because I'vealways wanted to like, figure
out, like, is there a way that Icould reach my arm in there and
get like the toy that I had,the thief mindset as a kid.
Well, claw machines were such arip off, I can get a free toy
claw machines were such a ripoff, you would put in like $10
(02:59):
and it would even grab the toygrip right no, they don't grip
at all and you can set thosethings to grip like one out of
81.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I think I would rather the points be sharp so
that punctures whatever.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I'm kind of trying to grab well, I know for sure I'm
getting it.
It's also on them to program it.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Program the claw to grip well, they must program it
on the weakest setting so thatnobody wins or very rarely wins.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I was just trying to tell you that they program it
one out of 50 times, one out of100 times, one out of 200 times.
That's how they program it.
So, as a kid, there's alwaysthought it would be fun to climb
into a claw machine now if youwere playing hide and seek.
And you've seen YouTube.
These days there are a lot ofhide and seek versions where
people climb into claw machines.
(03:45):
I've seen that.
What?
Yeah, so the claw machine?
They'll make it so thatsomebody can get in.
Well, you're famous, you canclimb into it and seek.
Then again, internet was barelyused, if at all, when you were
Henry now most of those videosare set up, so I don't suggest
(04:05):
anybody do this in real life.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I wouldn't they have already like prepared against
this by now?
Uh I mean the whole smaller orsomething, Clown machines are
pretty secure.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I don't know how this kid even got in here.
To be honest, he doesn't looklike he would fit.
I mean, maybe he doesn't looklike he, I don't know maybe
that's a pretty big toddlerright.
That's pretty big.
So how in the world did he getin there?
They have a video of it, heteleported I knew like look,
look, look at this guy.
He's stuck in there Likesecurity and police are like, uh
(04:37):
, what's going on?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
But if he crawled in there, couldn't he crawl back
out?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Uh, not if the trap door locks, because he probably
got through the trap door.
The trap door doesn't go theother way, or no?
Speaker 1 (04:49):
there's probably a key door to the back.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah, see the see the lock on the side here.
That's a key right there, sothey should be able to open that
up, no problem.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Is this section?
I'm opening it up.
No cause.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Then again, the people who own the claw machines
are not there, so they don'thave the key to get in.
So that's also an interestingoh man.
Imagine being a third party.
You only go to that mall once amonth.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Well, the police could smash it right yeah if
they had to.
Yeah, there it is.
I knew it, they were going tosmash it.
I had a feeling they were goingto smash it.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Then they would just report to the third party what
happened.
So I mean, and then it wouldprobably fall on the third party
to pay for the damages, eventhough you know that was his
fault.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
And they charged parents.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I guess you can't really build a kid.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Yeah, but they could build a parent.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
They could.
I don't know if they did,though, but anyway, any old
house Brisbane, australia.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Australian police came to the aid of a three year
old after he became trappedinside a club.
I mean at a suburban shoppingmall.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Video of the unusual rescue Saturday was shared on
social media by Queenslandpolice on Thursday.
It showed the toddler sittinginside the glass wall box filled
with plush toys, blissfullyunaware of his predicament.
The boys father.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Timothy Hopper said his son had disappeared into the
claw machine's prize dispenserand inside it in a split second.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
So he found a way.
Don't know how he did it, buthe found a way.
I had zero chance to react toit.
It was unbelievable how fast heclimbed up there.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation
reported Hopper saying the videothen shows the officers and the
boys, parents, encouraging himinto a safe corner the back of
the machine and to cover hiseyes, while the police shatter a
glass panel to free himunharmed.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
The video ends with one of the officers joking with
the boy you want a prize.
Which one do you want?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Freedom or the plushie.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Well, no, they probably did give him one, but
that was just a really funnylike.
They probably did give him, Iwould imagine, like especially
if the toddler yeah, come on now, whatever you wanted.
It's just funny.
It's not going to do anythingharm.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
And the guy that owns the like smash it happens.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
The guy that owns these claw machines is not going
to lose money on one toy Likethey like they said.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
they said it.
He does have to replace themachine glass.
Yes, that's the only thing he'dprobably lose money on.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
But I don't think this glass is super expensive
only because it's such a smallpanel.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
You'd have to get it right from the manufacturer or
whatever it might be.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
And I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Maybe put it back on there Also it's another.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
No, I think it just sits in there, to be honest.
If you had to do that, thenyeah, it could potentially be
maybe I kind of compare it likeanything glass related to, like
when you're replacing car glass,because car glass is heavy duty
.
Right, so if you have smallerpanel glass and especially where
that's like partially plastic,it should be less expensive.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Have you ever replaced a window?
Yeah, a House window, carwindow what?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
yeah, car windows mostly, but house yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, it's not always that easy, depending on the
size, shape.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
But you're also talking about a lot thicker
glass that what he's?
That was that look, the clawmachine glass is not.
The claw machine glass isnothing.
This stuff, like the housewindows and the car, that's
expensive.
That's thick glass, this is so.
It shouldn't cost him too much,is all I'm saying.
I mean, but it was more funnythan anything that he got stuck
(08:48):
in there.
So moral the story.
Keep an eye on your toddleryeah, crazy parents, watch your
kids.
I can honestly relate.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Why is he'll be on the news like this?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
I can honestly relate how hard, it is to keep up with
a toddler, because You'll beshopping.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I'm so glad I ain't gonna be there.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
You'll be shopping at Walmart in one minute.
They're with you.
You turn around and they'rejust Wandering off.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I want to deal with that, at least not right now.
You're like hey, hey, hey, hey,hey, I would probably use that
kid leash honestly the childleaves.
Yeah, I think I would use that.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
That's a very controversial subject.
I don't care, I'm just sayingmy kid, I'm saying there's
there's pros to it, but I'msaying it's, it's funny because
it's controversial.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Oh well, if you don't like it.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I think it's fine, because most of those are safety
oriented, like they just have avest.
So it's not like that crazy.
It's not like you're putting alot of straps on your kid or
nothing.
It's just it's just a vest.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I think I'm out right now.
No, they have.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
They have complete freedom to wander wherever they
want, but the least.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Just make sure that you don't lose that Funny with
that knocking over shelves andstuff.
Like they say they run aroundright around the corner to the
next you have to watch out forthat.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
You do have to watch out for that, kids.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
You're clad or an, everywhere kids love to touch
stuff man.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I mean as a child.
They want to explore, they wantto know what the world is, so
they want to touch everything.
I remember my associates when Iback, when I used to sell like
shoes.
My associates would roll theireyes because any kind of kid
would come in and want to touchthe most expensive.
Jordan, or like the mostexpensive thing, get their oily
hands all over and maybe theyjust ate or something in there.
(10:38):
It's like no.
Everyone around stores like ithe, he mostly, he mostly kept to
himself there that he did it,he did explore and he did touch
stuff, but it wasn't like itwasn't.
(11:00):
Because here's the differencebetween my son and a lot, of, a
lot of other kids he doesn'tlike his hands messy, so when
he's touching stuff, his handsare usually pretty clean, like
you, whenever he yeah, like soif his hands get messy, he
doesn't like it, he'll wash hishands.
So like, immediately flip out,you got lucky.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Sounds like so well.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
There's.
There's your own pros and conswith that.
You know what I mean.
But like he would like not wantto get his hands messy, so if
he touched stuff, it's usuallyhe wouldn't have anything on it.
Now, hmm, the that sounds kindof ideal to me the one outlier
of that is if he gets into a bagof Cheetos or Doritos and then
(11:42):
goes to touch stuff, because hewill get his hands messy for
those If he doesn't like it.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
You said he'll wash it.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Right, he would, but I'm saying once he eats cheetahs
and Doritos, he wouldn'tnecessarily go to wash his hands
right away.
That's what I was saying.
So but anything else, like ifit's mud or what he'll be like
yeah, I gotta wash my hands, yep.
Yeah, that's just him, that'shim.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
That's funny.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Well, speaking of surprise things when you don't
want them, this is aninteresting story that I thought
would be Weird to talk about aC Bp dog.
I believe it's the patrol dogor whatever.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Customs and border protection dog.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Okay, so a custom is in border protection dogs, so
basically kind of like airportsecurity dogs.
Same idea sniffs out somethingunusual in passengers luggage
mummified Monkeys, kind ofcreepy and they have a photo.
Look at this thing, bro.
What in the world is that?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
It's like two monkey heads on top of a rock.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Three one, two, three , yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
That is Now what the heck's up with it.
There's a hole in his head.
What's going on there?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
There's at least three there.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Oh, so the top of his head or back of his head?
Oh, here we go.
Boston AP all right, a UScustoms border patrol dog Same
thing, sniffed out somethingunusual in luggage from a
traveler returning from Africamummified monkeys the passenger
(13:44):
returning from a visit to theDemocratic Republic of Congo
reported that the luggagecontained dried fish, but an
inspection at Boston LoganAirport revealed dead and
dehydrated bodies of fourmonkeys.
Oh, so there's only three inthe picture, but there's four.
The traveler said he broughtthe monkeys into the US for his
own consumption.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
What Well Ryan visit, a CPB spokesperson, said Sunday
is what Raw or minimallyprocessed meat from wild animals
, sometimes referred to asbushmeat, is banned in the US
Because of a threat of disease.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
The potential dangers posed by bringing bushmeat into
the United States are real.
Bushmeat can carry germs.
It can cause illness, includingthe Ebola virus or Ebola Sorry,
said Julio Caravia, local portdirector for Customs and Border
Protection.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
The incident happened last month, but was made public
on Friday.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Seth said Sunday that no charges were filled, but all
are filed.
Sorry, but all the luggage wasseized and the nearly nine
pounds or four kilograms ofbushmeat were marked for
destruction by US Centers forDisease Control and Prevention
probably lit that stuff on fire.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
They're all like get rid of that.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
That's pretty awful.
I did not expect it to say hebrought it for his consumption.
I was expecting to be like I'ma archaeologist or something
that, or whatever a preservationof museum person, something
like that.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I've heard of wild game, but this is another level
it's bones in it.
Oh, maybe it's dried out.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
It's like dead skin.
Why would you want to eat?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
it's like beef jerky.
I just wanted to know it's nota little judgmental here.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
I like animals, but that's just great.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
And the haters will say at least it's not McDonald's
.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
The monkey monkey advocates are really like well.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Yeah, but do it.
It this way.
It's kind of like just weird.
Right, like that was prettyweird.
First of all, it's illegalnumber one.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
I mean, this is weird .
Speaker 2 (16:27):
You can't bring in raw meat because of the dangers
of disease.
Second, we just got over apandemic.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Yeah, we don't need a bowl over here now, we don't
need another one.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Third what the heck are you doing?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Think some people just have a screw loose that
that guy had Listen.
People even in the wild, like,say, tribal, they cook their
meat, eating it.
Are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (16:55):
That is definitely one of the reason for fire was
for them to cook through.
This is definitely one of theweirdest stories yet, but having
mummified Mummified monkeys,rotten and spoiled meat that's
like.
Dude, it's nasty.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
That's savage.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Savage is probably much better than yeah oh dude,
that's disturbing, I don't know.
Thanks so much for the nextmental scar.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Thank you, lord, for our dogs that.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
That sniffed this stuff out bro, it probably hurt
that.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
It probably hurt that beagles nose.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
That dog was probably His.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Nostrils were filing like boss, I need therapy for
three days after this.
I just sniffed out some 10.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I need a.
I need at least a month off nowboss, this is smelling kind of
weird boss.
Can you imagine if they weretalking oh, it smells all nasty,
it's over here.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
What's in your backpack.
Remember when they said what'sin here?
Speaker 1 (18:07):
What's in your backpack is you'd be the next
thing, yeah what's in yourbackpack, like run wild what's
in your traveling case?
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Dude, that's like going back in time, like we have
all these abilities to cook meand preserve it and all the
options and this guy's bringingback mummified.
Oh my gosh.
And it's not expensive either,like a ziploc baggies how much.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I guess he could have not known that it was illegal
or whatever, but he had to have.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I didn't think that.
Isn't that a?
Bush meat Well yeah, well no,isn't that kind of thing like a
worldwide rule for?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
a lot of countries.
I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I thought so just because off of Common sense it
just would make well that itshould be common sense, yes, but
but they don't really talkabout it.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
So I get, I don't know until today.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yeah, they don't really talk about it.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Did you Are you?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
do you already did?
I did know that well I think.
Well, here's the thing for metraveling a lot, I look up a lot
of rules before going into acountry.
You have and if you look up, ifyou just look up common sense,
traveling was that's one of themany illegal things that you're
Not a cared enough to look it upor something or ask any.
(19:20):
The other illegal thing is not.
The other illegal thing isgoing into an airport and saying
the word bomb.
That's the other illegal thing.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
What my question is how do you get on the plane in
the first place?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I don't know and make it over here.
Was it a plane?
Oh, Actually.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I don't know if it told us it said Border patrol.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
I guess that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
But I said border protection Returning from Africa
, so it had to have been onplane right.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
It says airport yeah, Washington Logan Airport.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Yeah, so it had to been playing.
How did he get past?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
How do you get it on the first plane and?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
because in Africa they don't stand for this mess.
They shouldn't know they don't.
They have a tight securitysystem.
Did I almost tell you that Ialmost got kicked out of Africa
once?
Oh, you have to you have tohave all your affairs in order
when you go over to Africa andthey have to know where you're
going.
Like it's strict.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Oh, so you have to like, I have a plan, a schedule
or something, yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yeah, and you have to have contacts, like you have to
know where you're going.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
So you have to provide them names and
everything.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Oh, so how did this mess I had to have?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
but there's not much other explanation for that.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Where are you hiding your dead monkeys?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Yeah, you can't hide that smell either.
I wouldn't think you imaginestanding in the custom line.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
I'm pretty sure people would still smell that
too.
I just forgot the utterance,sir.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
That's all, unless they assumed it was him.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
He just stunk yeah they just assumed it was him,
he's just like bad be.
Oh, that's what.
I'm sorry, you smell like deadmonkeys.
