Speaker 1 (00:00):
The time of that's incredible, incredible story from around the

(00:02):
world and beyond. A man in Georgia was arrested for
stealing more than ninety one manhole covers. It is unclear
why or what do you plan to do with them.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
That's incredible thing and that you need a lot of
story for those.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Is that a thing that like stealing the what is
it that people rip out of your houses because you
can sell it?

Speaker 4 (00:22):
Oh, like the coils, like the supper airsition CPI.

Speaker 5 (00:25):
Is there some resale value for manhole covers?

Speaker 4 (00:29):
Maybe? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Last year, this story, I love it. Last year, a
woman sued Hershey's for five million dollars, claiming that their
Halloween candies didn't look cool or spooky like they did
on the wrapper. Basically, she was upset because like the
Reese's peanut butter cups that were look look a Jackearner
or a bat. She said, when you open them, they

(00:53):
just didn't quite look like they did on the package.
She wanted five million dollars. Hershey's won, and the judge
tossed the lawsuit.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
Yeah, she's lucky that she didn't get saddled with their
legal fees, right been because who who promised you that
they would That's just the packaging, she said.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
The packaging shows the pumpkins have cool carved designs and faces,
but in reality there are no faces, and that bothered her.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
I'm trying, I'm trying to find a way if she
has a point here, like, Okay, I'm having a party
and I'm going to buy all these candies to put
on a.

Speaker 5 (01:24):
Tray and I'll look cool for my party goers.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Now, I wonder if you could, if she could have
a case if they weren't actual size, Like if she
thought that they were going to be bigger than they
were and they advertised that they were this big and
they weren't.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Here's the thing, It's really hard for one person to
go up against. I mean, this wasn't an outcry of
millions of people saying like the bat didn't look like
a bat and the peanut butter cut.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
Like it's this is so dumb.

Speaker 5 (01:49):
I'm surprised, that's right, right, she was hoping for a settlement,
how about this.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
A care home in the UK has introduced robotic dogs
and cats to tackle loneliness. The pets have realistic fur
and sensors that enable them to bark, per and sit
and can even roll over for scratches.

Speaker 4 (02:05):
No, credible.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Absolutely not because one of my inventions. Because, as it's
been clearly stated numerous times, I just need a wealthy
benefactor to get some of these ideas in progress. Sure,
but let's merge our care facilities and our animal shelters.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
Yeah boom, no, that is a good idea.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yeah, no more robotic pets when shelters are overflowing.

Speaker 5 (02:29):
Absolutely, and old people need a cat on their last.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
And I bet you with the money that they would
pay for these robotic animals, they probably could create a
salary as a like pet caretaker for the whole home exact,
and be the person to bring the pets around and
stuff like that.

Speaker 5 (02:43):
Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah, all right, what else do we have today? It's
hug a vegetarian day. That's incredible. If they're a stranger,
you should ask first. Police in Japan arrested a sixty
one year old man on suspicion of shoplifting and causing
injury after he sped away from a supermarket with a
male store employee clinging to.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
The hood of his car. But that's what you see
in movies.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
He shoplifted and like the guy like ran out, was like, hey,
you can't steal that, grabbed onto the car.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
The guy kept driving.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
I don't want a victim blame, but now I'm going
to you let people take your stuff, and I do
think there's a rule in stores and gas stations that
you don't attempt to stop.

Speaker 5 (03:26):
Yeah, you're not allowed to. Yeah, like you just.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Followed them to parking lot and your blood's gonna boil
because no one likes to see people getting away with stuff.

Speaker 5 (03:33):
But you just let people steal.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Your car, steal out of your store, and then you
let the law handle it.

Speaker 5 (03:39):
The true because you're lucky you're not paralyzed.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
Right, that's incredible.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Finally, a kindergarten in Australia is charging parents for their
kids art. They claim it's a fundraiser, but honestly, it's
probably the perfect excuse for parents who don't want to
be forced to keep any more of their kids art.
They're just like, your kids make art and then they
sell it.

Speaker 5 (03:59):
But wait, what is it an art fair? And other
people buy it?

Speaker 3 (04:03):
Like you don't buy your own kids, but you go
you buy somebody else's. Kay.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
It sounds like like after art class or like good job.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Kids hand them in and then it goes onto a
website and some like some Lady and some other countries,
like I'll take these.

Speaker 5 (04:15):
I mean it's kind of brilliant. Yeah, I mean it
is kind of brilliant to raise.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
The wizard monster.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Right, kids, I'll go to the I'll at least peruse
the website. I think about the popsicle penholder I gave
my mom. Oh yeah, she didn't have to pay for that.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
I just brought it home. Remember when we all brought
ashtrays parents. Was totally cool.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
And we were in school making ashtrays for our parents.

Speaker 5 (04:39):
So random.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
Now, kids, Jason, I know your dad's a smoker and
he'll love this ashtray. Don't forget to put the three
indents for each cigarette exactly, exactly
