Speaker 1 (00:06):
Everything you're about to hear is true. None of the
names have been changed, because no one is innocent from stupidity,
the great basit of the world. Turn around stupid. I'm

(00:28):
inst Eric Lane. Welcome to my stupid world. It's the
MIDWEK bonus episode with extra stupidity to get you through
the week. And if it's stupid enough, give it a
five star rating, because you're getting five star stupidity. Remember
the good old days, back when you had those Russian

(00:49):
or these African princes that were trying to scam you
in an email, and you kind of knew what to expect.
You know, the scammers are getting smarter and everybody else
is getting more stupid. I mean, it doesn't matter how
old or how smart you are. It's like any any more.

(01:10):
Anybody can fall for a scam. I mean, well, just
maybe not this scam. There was a woman in Japan,
She's in her eighties, just fell for one of the
more stupider romance scams I think I've ever seen. And
I think that's saying something considering I've seen plenty in

(01:31):
the line of business I'm doing with this podcast. This
past summer, she started talking to this guy on social media.
He claims he was an astronaut. Hmm, I don't know
about you, but maybe are you seeing a red flag? Well,
she kept talking to him, and of course you know
what happened. She developed feelings. Did I mention she was

(01:55):
in her eighties? He finally dropped the hammer one day.
I claimed he was in trouble. So here's the story
he went with. He said he was in space on
a spaceship and was under attack. Yeah, his ship was
under attack and he needed oxygen. Look, I don't have

(02:22):
to make this stuff up. So he asked if this
lady would float him enough cash to buy more O two,
and she agreed, of course she did. She sent him
around what sixty seven hundred dollars. It's about a million yen.
By the way, officials in Japan shared the story and said,

(02:45):
to be suspicious of someone you met online ever asks
for money, Yeah, especially if you know they're texting from
outer space. This isn't actually the first astronaut scam that
come around. Back in twenty two twenty two, there's a
sixty five year old woman, oddly enough, also from Japan,

(03:05):
got scammed out of thirty thousand dollars by someone claiming
to be a Russian cosmonaut. He said he needed the
money so he could fly back to Earth and marry her. Okay,
everybody repeat after me, I wouldn't buy you oxygen if
you were the last stranded astronaut on Earth. Looks like

(03:30):
Nigerian princes have definitely some big stiff competition out there.
A perfect example of star cross lovers. Right, he said,
Grandma san, you take my breath away, and she opened
her heart and her wallet. Look, I mean, it even
happens even now, already within a week okay of the

(03:56):
tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, I have had to fact
check two of my friends on social media because they're
sharing stuff that I'm looking at and I'm going what. Okay,
First one that who was it was gonna somebody was

(04:18):
going to cover all oh, Steven Tyler. Steven Tyler was
going to cover all of the education expenses of Charlie
Kirk's children. That's a scam. Then I had someone share
something saying that, uh, Mick Jagger was shocked. Couldn't believe

(04:40):
that somebody's rejoicing over the murder of somebody. No record
of him ever saying anything like that. But yet people
see the stuff on social media and their first response
is to hit share. I don't know anyway I want
to put an lol. It's some of this stuff because

(05:01):
it's so crazy, but it probably deserves more of a
sad face. Well, Millennials, you know, often tack the LOL
at the end of messages. It kind of as a
tone softener. So do boomers too. Okay, all right, look,
I'll admit it. It's an easy way to kind of keep
text friendly and casual, emotionally warm, even when the situation

(05:25):
doesn't warrant laughter. I mean, millennial creator anigadists explained that
LOL isn't about literal laughter. It's like a quiet chuckle,
you know, a kind of a sarcasm or a way
to keep things light. Now, many agree that without it,
messages can come off as a bit rude or maybe
too serious. Some millennials view the LOL as a conversational

(05:49):
safety net, a simple shorthand way to ease tension or
show friendliness, or signal that what they're saying isn't really
coming from a harsh place. See even millennials favor of
the expressive, emotionally clear messaging. I think the emoji filled
notes in cheerful texts, especially in contrast to gen Z's

(06:11):
more of the ironic or minimal style see well. Psychologists
suggest that this preference stems from millennials upbringing, which emphasize
face to face interaction and emotional expressiveness. Apparently, gen Z
feels like it's not necessary. Now here's anagatists defending millennials

(06:34):
using that lol acronym. People are saying to millennials to
stop putting lol behind the sentences.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
And the thing is, it's.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Not really like every time, it's more like or, And
that's just what it is. You know, Millennials, it seems
where they're hard on their texts. You know, gen Z
prefers there's the thick layer of irony and maybe a wink. Still,
Licensed mental health counselor Catherine Lee says millennials might be

(07:05):
onto something. She says, millennials would probably prefer more of
that face to face connection because that is what they
grew up with, you see, and when they finally get it,
they're sure to say thank you. Overall, though, maybe we
can call it the great digital divide. You see, Millennials
gush and gen Z shrudges. You know, well, just a

(07:30):
new way of looking at the generation gap from a
digital lens. I guess well. The question of the day
comes courtesy here of the New York Times, here that
asks why are everyone's braw straps showing these days? Have
you noticed this? I think I have from time to time,

(07:51):
even in church. If you haven't noticed, well, it's apparently
cool again to let your brow strap show. Experts says
it could be Jennifer Addison's fault, sort of. The idea
is that visible bra straps first became a pop culture
phenomenon back in the nineteen nineties, and well, now the

(08:11):
nineties are in an extended revival, so everything nineties is back,
including the re emergence of the bra strap. Thankfully, I
don't have to worry about that now. It may not
seem like that big of a deal now, but prior
to the nineties, it was pretty shocking to intentionally draw
attention to the brazier. I mean, whether that was Madonna's

(08:34):
bullet bras or Gwen Stefani's black bra under the white
tank top, or Jennifer Andison's bra straps on Friends. They
went away though over the past decade or so, but
now they're back on fashion runways among celebrities even in
everyday life. In addition to the nineties callback, the Time
says there is something both rebellious about their refusal to

(08:58):
hide the bra and feminine at the same time. And
some believe we need femininity in this difficult time to
lift us up, or maybe to lift and separate or something.
I don't know. Well, oh, maybe I'll just join in
and decided to let my brass traps show from time
to time. Well, ladies and gentlemen gather around for a

(09:24):
tale of modern travel meeting classic human brain farts. Yes,
the TikTok sensation. Brittany Desollo and her friend recently turned
a simple European get away into a geography lesson nobody
asked for, starring themselves as the unwinning comedians. Here's the setup,

(09:47):
you see, Brittany thought she was flying to Nisse, France,
but somehow thought through the magic of misreading the tiny
letters on the ticket, she ended up on a plane
to Tunis. It's right, Tunis North Africa, not exactly the
French riviera vibes she was hoping for. So let's see

(10:08):
Nis frances Nice. Tunis North Africa is t u Nis
hmm okay, well on board. The panic was delicious when
a fellow passenger casually mentioned that they were bound for Tunis.
Brittany and her friend laughed nervously, then googled where the
heck is Tunis and attempted the classic move of showing

(10:31):
a flight attendant their iPhone map, like, see this says
France right uh spoiler alert. The flight attendant did not
see it that way.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
That way.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
They even tried to escape mid flight, but the crew
lovingly guided them back to their seats. Because nothing screams
airport comedy show like two grown adults realizing they're hopelessly
lost in the skies. Here they are finding out they're
about to fly to the wrong continent.

Speaker 4 (11:01):
Is this going to me?

Speaker 1 (11:04):
I thought you said to Nice, which is an fro.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
That's why you confuse me.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
You're going to France, right?

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Yeah? Yeah we are. You're going to France? Where Tisia?
You mishurt us? Where's Tanisia?

Speaker 3 (11:22):
And North Africa?

Speaker 1 (11:23):
You know we're going to go. Eventually, they made it
to Nise, but not before providing everyone on the plane
with free entertainment, panic and secondhand embarrassment. The internet naturally
had opinions. Some noted that technically Tunas isn't that far
from nise. Others were less forgiving, scolding the duo for
apparently skipping geography one oh one, and some just straight

(11:46):
at basked did you not read anything on your ticket?
Brittany's misadventure joins the growing hall of fame of travel fails,
including friends flying to California instead of Costa Rica and
a six year old accidentally ending hundreds of miles from Florida.
The moral of the story, look, if you want to
travel safely, maybe glance at a map before strapping into

(12:08):
a flying metal tube. Or maybe, if you prefer, just
enjoy the show, as humanity occasionally reminds itself how wonderfully,
painfully stupid it can be. Then there's the one year
old boy in Australia who briefly went missing for two hours.
No it wasn't because he got on the wrong plane flight. No,

(12:30):
he was mistakenly handed to the wrong grandparent at the
daycare center. An investigation is underway at the Sydney, Australia
childcare center that s at the infant home from Banger's
First Steps Learning Academy with the unrelated grandparent. The child's

(12:50):
mother said, I can't explain the feeling. They couldn't tell
me his name, who he was. They couldn't tell me
who he was meant to pick up, what he looked
like apart from the he was wearing shorts and he
was an older gentleman. The center reviewed the video footage
and called the parents to try to locate the boy,
before eventually realizing he'd been handed over to the grandfather

(13:13):
of another child. The man subsequently returned the boy to
the center now. According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, the
center alerted parents the next day of the quote serious incident,
saying that a carer for a child in the nursery
room and our service mistakenly picked up the wrong child
from the center. We sincerely apologize that the family is

(13:35):
directly involved in this deeply unsettling and isolated incident, and
to the broader Steps community for the distress it has caused.
Of Anger's First Steps Learning Academies. Tricia Hasti said in
the statement to news dot com dot Au. The safety
and wellbeing of every child in our care is our

(13:57):
highest priority. While we have always maintained strict protocols for
drop off and pick up. In this case, those processes
were not followed correctly. The educator involved has been stood down.
We have acted immediately to strengthen our procedures and ensure
this never happens again, Hasty says, adding that the center
has made immediate and significant changes around the drop off

(14:20):
and pick up protocols to ensure this never happens again now.
The grandfather's wife said that when he didn't realize the
mistake at the time, as the children at the center
were all asleep and he arrived and the room was dark,
he was asleep. He had gotten out of the car,
she says. The Sydney Morning Herald reported he was struggling
with the car seat. He didn't really notice much difference

(14:41):
because he doesn't do the car seat that often, so
his biggest thing was just trying to work out the seat.
So when he gets home, he just snuggled him and
went to sleep, and he didn't even realize he has
the same hair, He had the same dummy in his
mouth or pacifier. She said. My husband said he's not well,
not himself, adding that the two of them had cared

(15:02):
for their actual grandson earlier in the week he was
teething and unwell. The boy's mom, who wishes to remain unidentified,
told The Morning Herald of the other grandparent, we don't
blame him. We're not angry with him. We blame the daycare.
The spokesperson for the New South Wales Police told the
ABC that they were there'll be no criminal investigation, but
the New South Wales Early Childhood Education and Care Regulatory Authority, though,

(15:25):
is investigating the incident. According to news dot Com dot AU.
A spokesperson for the authority told the ABC a thorough
investigation into the incident would take place, which would also
consider the services compliance history. Yes, well, it looks like
that baby got him a new grandpa.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
Well.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Target is actually going viral because they're selling pants that
are sold for kids, and let's just say they have
a very unfortunate pleat. Yeah, the pleat in question is
positioned right where someone's nether region is, if I might
say so. The women's health specialist took to social media

(16:11):
to highlight the very awkward design flaw in that pair
of Target pants. So here is doctor Marcy Crouch, which
is an appropriate name considering the situation. She has a
TikTok video calling out Target and the pants manufacturer Champion.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
I would like to know why Champion a Target a
center plead why when I'm talking to you this is
what you see?

Speaker 1 (16:38):
Hey, But it doesn't take any special qualifications to see
the glaring error which is visible in the nether regions
of the beige track pants. In the video caption, she writes, quote, wow,
just wow, Target and Champion. Someone decided to make this
and then multiple people in various meetings are proved it well.

(17:01):
The comments took a rather lighthearted approach, joking about the
purpose of the pleet, with one writing quote, I think
you're supposed to put your lip gloss in there. Many
people share the same question why did you buy them,
to which doctor Crouch replied, A friend of mine got
them for her daughter. I didn't try them on obviously,

(17:22):
and then immediately brought them to me and I was like, oh,
I must have them. She joked that the next step
is for her to wear them in public and film
people's reactions. Reviews on Target's website also point out the
same issue, many customers sharing photos of themselves wearing the
thirty dollars pants. You have to see it to believe it,

(17:44):
but I'm sure it leaves nothing to the imagination. All
residents of the newest resort in southern California are suing
their new management, accusing them of trying to drive tenants
out by forcing them to wear clothes. Did I mention
this is a newdist resort. The group, composed of current

(18:06):
and former residents of the Olive Del Ranch in Colton, California,
has accused the new owners of hostile behavior, including threatening
eviction and inflating utility bills. The resort, once known as
the friendliest newdist resort in Southern California, is home to elderly, disabled,
and veteran residents with limited housing options. Residents said they

(18:29):
received in notice requiring tenants to wear clothes at all times.

Speaker 4 (18:35):
Well.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Longtime resident Kenny Palmer City believes the changes are meant
to drive people out. Tenants also accused management of failing
to maintain the property, pointing out that the pool had
turned green, the laundry room and sauna were no longer usable. However,
property manager Darlene accused the tenants of vandalism and failing
to pay the bills, an accusition that accusation that has

(18:57):
really been disputed by the residents. Sunshine aka Form, former
front office employee, said she was actually fired after questioning
the management's practices. She said the new manager wanted her
to change or charge extra money on people's bills, and
she wouldn't do it. Ol of Del Ranch, nestled in
the foothills of the San Jacinto Mountains, has been a

(19:18):
destination for naturists since nineteen fifty two. By the way,
so what does even one pack when going to a
newist resort? You ever thought about that? Maybe lots of sunscreen,
I guess. I mean my toddler used to get mad too,
you know, whenever I made him get dressed, but he
never called a lawyer. Well maybe if you're a six

(19:42):
year old aspiring criminal, don't think that your barbiejee will
slip through town unnoticed. There's a man in Canada named
Casper Lincoln who got himself arrested after he was caught
driving through town in a child sized pink barbie g
He was also wearing aviator glasses, possibly for safety reasons.

(20:06):
Casper claimed he was just being lazy decided to take
the cheap out on a slurpy run while a friend
walked alongside him. Well, he said he drove on the
sidewalk mostly, but well he did drive on the side
of the road too, and that's what got him into
trouble because the cop pulled him over and noticed some
real violations. Casper, you see, has a suspended license and

(20:29):
he also had a blood alcohol level above the legal limit. Yeah, shocking, Yeah,
this is totally the brilliant plan of a sober man.
Casper was arrested for DUI because he was on the
road and was prohibited from driving for ninety days. In
addition to whatever is happening with the suspended license. He

(20:51):
was not speeding though the Barbie jeep tops out at
five miles an hour. Some onlookers got a good laugh
out of it, and we're surprised that the police got
involved with everything else they have on their plate. Here's
one of the onlookers, Andrew Kurjata, and the man who
was driving the pink Barbie.

Speaker 4 (21:09):
Gee, you're really arresting them for driving a kid's.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
Cheap I wanted to just want to get it a slurpee.
I got lazy, I didn't want to walk.

Speaker 3 (21:17):
I'm going to like three clicks. I did my hand
signals and everything, model number Barbie jeep color pink.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
But the police say this is not a laughing matter,
you see. Casper insisted he didn't know he was breaking
the law and said he had no problems with the police.
He even said the arresting officer was nice. When asked
what his takeaway was, he says, don't dreak and drive. Yeah, okay.
Well makes you kind of wonder though, if he was

(21:45):
sober and had a license, and would he have been
within the law. You see what I'm saying. I mean,
would Mattel suit the guy for tarnishing the brand? I
don't know well, from a pink Barbie jeep to a
puppy suit. A bike riding juvenile who was strangled by
a forty six year old Florida man wearing an inflatable

(22:06):
dog costume outside of a puppy store in clear Water, Rodney, Plathy.
He works at the Sunshine Puppies. He had an ongoing
dispute with the youth, was outside the business when multiple
juveniles rode by on bicycles and at the time pethe
who is by the way, a registered sex offender, was

(22:29):
wearing a puppy suit costume. The business is adjacent to
a busy roadway, and the costume worker a llah a
signs spinner serves to attract the attention of passing motorists.
Will Investigators alleged that Pethy, who had previously tangled with
the young riders, waved the juveniles over to him. Plathy

(22:50):
was joined outside by the puppy store proprietor. As the
owner was addressing the group, one of the juveniles sought
to ride away. As the owner grabbed the likes handlebars
to prevent a collision with himself, Plathy approached the victim
from behind and put him in a choke hold. The
male victim, whose age is not listed, told the police
he was unable to breathe for a brief period of

(23:12):
time until the defendant released him seconds later. Officers were
then contacted. Plethy was arrested for battery by strangulation, which
is a felony. By the way, the defendant, according to
the arrest Affidavid, showed an indication of alcohol influence and
refused to speak with cops. After two days in the
county jail, Plathy was freed upon posting a ten thousand

(23:34):
dollars bond. A judge has ordered him to have no
contact with a victim. Pathy has an extensive criminal record,
with multiple battery convictions as well as convictions for burglary
and drug possession. He spent six years in prison for
a twenty thirteen sexual battery case that resulted in his
designation as a sex offender. Pathy returned to the state

(23:57):
custody in twenty twenty two and spent about thirty mon
spine bars before getting released, And now he works at
a puppy store. Go figure, well, do we really need
more terms like this kind of feels like people can't
even agree on what the new one means. Have you

(24:19):
ever heard of this term called clock botching yet? Writer
in the UK coined it recently. It means one of
two things, or maybe both. Forbes describes it as when
you look busy but aren't actually producing meaningful results and
you're stretching small tasks into entire afternoons. Now that makes

(24:42):
it sound intentional, like you're just trying to run out
the clock each day and not get much done, so
then you know you don't get a sign more work.
But look, we're already we've already got terms for that,
you know, like task masking or phoductivity. The original definition
is different. You see. The writer who coined clockbotching says
it's up when workers end up doing more hours than

(25:05):
they're paid for, not out of ambition, but because they
can't get through their workload in time. She also says
clockbotchers are usually the first one in the office and
the last one to leave. Hmmm, I think I work
with someone like that, So that makes it sound not intentional.

(25:26):
There's just too much on their plate, or they're not
very organized, or they like to visit and talk all
the time, or surf the social media's. A writer for
ink dot com can confuse things even more by saying
it's an aggressive form of clock watching when you're just
counting the minutes before you leave work. Maybe it's all

(25:48):
the above, but whatever it means, they're all agreeing that
it is a serious problem in twenty twenty five, caused
by burnout and people feeling less engaged overall. Or maybe
just all those writers are just flubbing facts while sprinting
to get clicks. In fact, look, I mean, are we
going to coin a new term there? Click botching? I
don't know, sound like somebody you know. Well, there's one

(26:11):
way to figure this out by my list of the
ways to know your co worker is clockbatching. It's been
weeks since he stole toilet paper. She stopped objectifying the
ups guy he used a paper jam as an excuse
to take medical leave the cat in her hang in
their poster. Let go his mug says, not before coffee,

(26:36):
or after coffee, or during coffee. She quit stopping by
your desk to play with your balls. We're talking about
those click clockballs. Okay, get your mind out of the gutter. Pig.
All he wrote on Sally's birthday card is quote happy Birthday.
The title of her latest power point is blah blah

(26:56):
blah and finally, ways to know your co worker's clockbotching.
He's just copying you. I don't know. Maybe I think
I have a whole office full of clockbotchers, come to
think of it. It is annoying, though, when somebody asks
to go ahead of you in the checkout line. I've
been there, I only got two three atoms. Can I

(27:17):
go ahead of you? I'm like, no, Well, i'd look
if they have just a few items, as if their
time is more important than yours. Well, this is a
whole other level a sixty five year old man named
Daniel Knell tried to cut line at a public's This

(27:38):
was in Florida. The couple ahead of them declined the offer. Well,
Daniel tried putting his stuff on the checkout belt anyway,
and there was a little argument. Daniel gets upset, leaves
his cart and storms out of the store. The couple
checks out and they leave the store. They start loading
their stuff into their car, and that's when Daniel ran

(28:00):
behind them and sprayed them both in the face with
bug spray, and then he ran off. Well, the cops
were called and they tracked Daniel down. He was arrested
in charge with two counts of aggravated battery with great
bodily harm. One of the victims had to be hospitalized,
but sounds like they won't be okay. I realized that

(28:20):
some people could be pests. I don't think it needed
to resort to getting actual pests spray. Well, these kids
who grew up getting participation in trophies, now they've entered
our workforce, and surprise, they really like to be celebrated

(28:41):
even if they mess up. There's a new survey out
Seventy six percent of managers say gen Z employees need
more praise than the older generations do, and nearly sixty
percent say that gen Z's performance improves with more praise.
Good boy. Seventy one percent sagen Z expects praise for

(29:02):
meeting basic expectations like maybe showing up for work on time.
Fifty eight percent say they want it even when they fail.
Oh that's okay, You're still doing a good job even
though you screwed up and lost the client. Thirty percent
of managers say that gen Z employees have cried after
getting negative feedback, and ten percent of the manager said

(29:25):
a gen Z employees parent has contacted them following critical feedback.
What did you say to my Joey? Thirty eight percent
have had a gen Z employee call in sick the
day after getting criticized. I guess his ego is feeling
really nauseous. Twenty seven percent have had one quit over criticism. Yeah,

(29:51):
older generations probably should be careful about mocking gen Z
too much. So, I mean, look, these are the young
adults that they spent decades coddling. Hmmm, keep that in mind. Okay,
maybe you're a non confrontational person and you're just tired
of being annoyed by loud neighbors. You know, it would

(30:14):
be really great if I could just hire some tough
guy on door dash to just go over and tell
them to knock it off. What Japan might have the answer.
They have a rent a person industry, which has all
kinds of options like grandmothers pretend to siblings, and things
like muscle for big moves. There's also some niche offerings

(30:37):
like kawhi Hito, which is scary people. They say that's
people with intimidating appearances, you know, like men with tattoos
or shaved heads or bulky physiques. The company says these
scary people are available for accompanying customers when resolving interpersonal

(30:58):
disputes such as dealing with people who bully you in
the workplace, neighbor issues, settling your financial disagreements, and trouble
with cheating or extramarital affairs, or maybe somebody trying to
cut line at the grocery store. On one hand, it
kind of seems that it could be useful as a
support system, although critics would say hiring guns like this

(31:21):
is up well, kind of makes you a gangster. It
is also rather unclear what happens if your target also
hires scary people. But before you get too excited about
this concept, it's unclear howlajet the service is or was.
After recent reports got out about it, people discovered that

(31:43):
the company wasn't legally registered and there wasn't any official
contact information. Then the company suddenly announced due to various circumstances,
this service has been ended. Kind of scary. A PlayStation
used to have the tagline play as no limits. Remember that,

(32:05):
but legally that's not quite the case. A twenty one
year old Florida woman named Alexandra Dominguez has just been
convicted of two counts of domestic battery won by strangulation
after a violent dispute that began over a missing PlayStation game.
The case must have been pretty convincing, the jury only

(32:28):
needed twenty minutes. The charges came from an incident a
few months back when Alexandra freaked out over a missing
PlayStation game and the victims her own family. She shoved
her mother to the ground, placed her hands around her neck,
trying to choke her. Then Alexandra's younger brother tried to

(32:49):
break it up, but she turned on him as well
and grabbed his groin and squeezed and struck him multiple times.
Both victims suffered visible injuries. But they're okay. Alexandria, on
the other hand, she's going to be spending five years
in prison. Who boy, oh boy. Nothing like having your

(33:10):
sister grab your groin and giving it a good clamp down. Well,
there's a family that turned awkward. A family visit turned
awkward when a curious sixty year old aunt wandered into
her niece's kitchen and accidentally took a taste of a
powdered dog food topper, thinking it was human food. I

(33:34):
love this story. The twenty five year old homeowner explained
on Reddit that the jars, while labeled, lack any obvious
dog imagery and stood alongside other pet items. She says,
my kitchen is structured in a way that there is
an area dedicated to my dog's things, dog food, storage bowls,

(33:55):
food toppers, basically everything that has to do with his nutrition.
The woman, as she wrote in I Read It post,
the user's dog food powders are made from a variety
of different meats and fish like beef, sirloin, mussels, lamb,
and chicken. She says, well, the whole trauma began when
the woman's aunt stopped by it help set up her phone.

(34:17):
I saw I needed something longish to be able to
open the compartment that would let me add the SIM
card in, says the redditor. I told her just to
wait and I'll go and look for one. Meanwhile, the ant,
the nosy ant, goes into the kitchen to glab a
grab glass of water. Next thing the niece knew, the

(34:40):
older woman was holding one of the dog food jars
in her hand. I hear her asking what I use
that powder for and that it tastes quite nice than
these rites. I immediately gasped and let her know that
I use it for my dog. It's dog food, thought
it was safe for human can assumption. The ant freaked

(35:02):
out after learning that it was intended for the dog,
but then blamed her knees for not labeling it more clearly.
Sharing the story with other relatives, Reddit users largely sided
with the knees, calling the ant nosey and emphasizing that
guests should not help themselves without asking now. Lisa Cash,

(35:23):
the CEO and founder of Beverly Hills Manors in California,
was talking to Fox News Digital with this concept of petticot,
which has been long established, but the redditor's situation is
a bit unusual. I have yet to see specific guidelines
that dictate labeling pet food items in one's own home,
says the expert. In this scenario, the food items were

(35:46):
stored in a designated dog area, and the assumption is
that they would not be mistaken as anything other than
dog related food. The etiquette expert praised the nies for
handling things with humor and suggested gently empathy gentle empathy
for to smooth things over. Maybe a clear dog food

(36:07):
label to prevent a repeat offense. The expert said the
ant bears responsibility and rummaging through someone else's cabinets is
ignoring basic guests etiquette. It doesn't matter if you're an
aunt or not. Keep your hands to yourself. It was
a twenty seven year old woman who's accused of sending

(36:29):
nearly two hundred threatening messages to the Sea Bring Police
Department in Florida in a span of just four hours.
Michelle Statton was arrested in the early morning hours after
issuing death threats and other threats of violence to officers
via Facebook messenger. According to police, the Sea Bring Police

(36:50):
Department shares the video on social media that allegedly Showston
making verbal threats while driving by the police department. She's
heard said, hey, fat piggies in this video while driving
past the police station located at the corner of North
Pine Street and North Ridgewood Drive. How lovely it would

(37:11):
be to throw a Molotov cocktail through that window, according
to what the video says. Police also detailed written messages
that say she received from Stanton, if you don't want
me to throw Bolotov cocktails of the downtown department, respond now,
Saton says, according to the police, come get a shot.
I'm making a threat against the Sea Bring Police Department.

(37:33):
With the law enforcement agency said Stanton wrote about two
hundred posts and messages, many of them threatening in nature.
Well as you might expect. Stratton is now facing various
charges intimidation, sending written threats to kill, threatening a law
enforcement officer with death or serious bodily harm. According to

(37:53):
the Highland County Sheriff's Office records, the bond was posted
at sixty three thousand dollars after Statton was booked in
to the county jail. Now in the press release, the
law enforcement agency stated that in this case, they want
to make something very clear. The Sea Bring Police Department
respects and protects the First Amendment rights of everyone. The
police Department encourages people to enjoy freedom of speech, the

(38:16):
agency adds, but when free speech crosses the line and
turns into threats of violence, we will act swiftly. Threats
to kill or harm will not be tolerated. That's what
they said in their Facebook post. Well, of course, you
know you can't go into a theater and yell fire,
and you can't get on an airplane and yell bomb.
Apparently this woman doesn't understand common sense. Well, you've heard

(38:42):
the phrase drunk is a skunk. This might need a
bit of a tweaking for this phrase. Maybe it should
read drunk is a coon. There's a story explaining that,
but leaving a lot to unpack. You see, a Kentucky
woman rescued a juvenile raccoon that she discovered passed out

(39:06):
in rain water at the bottom of a dumpster, and
then administered CPR to save the little guy's life. According
to the Lexington Herald Leader, Misty Combs, who works as
a nurse for the Elector County Health department. Says she
heard that there was a mother raccoon running around the
local parking lot, and so when she goes to investigate,

(39:28):
she says she saw the mama hanging out near a
trash receptacle. Combs notes that when she approached the dumpster,
she found two young coons inside, one standing up alert,
the other unconscious in soaking in water at the bottom
of the bin. With the Mountain Eagle reports that the
out of it coon was actually slopped after apparently consuming

(39:51):
fermented peaches in the dumpster that had been discarded by
the Whitesburg, Kentucky's Missed Moonshine Distillery. The facility you see
soaks the peaches in the distilled alcohol to make peach
tinged moonshine. I would say that he ate the fermented
peaches and fell over drunk in the water, Combs tells

(40:14):
the Herald Leader. She says that with the help of
a colleague, she was able to pull the coon out
of the dumpster bite's tail and onto the ground, where
she proceeded to give it CPR. Don't worry, compression only CPR,
not mouth to mouth. According to Combs, she did so
until water started spurting out of its little mouth. Lex

(40:35):
eighteen has video of Coons doing the life saving gesture,
in which she can be heard pleading come on, baby,
come on, as she did her chest compressions on the
little critter. This is a regular Elie May Clampett. Here,
she admits to Wymt she feared it. At one point
the coon might have gotten rabies and was going to

(40:56):
emerge from his drunken stupor and take a bite out
of her. Well, here's Missy talking about giving the coon CPR.

Speaker 4 (41:02):
So our health apartment is right beside of Kentucky. Miss Moonshine.
They had put some fermented peaches in their dumpster, and
I guess the two baby raccoons had got into the
dumpster and they were stuck. Everybody that was a ring
was like, it's dead. I mean, it's just not gonna
make it. Immediately, I just started doing CPR on it.

(41:24):
I was tinkled to death that he was able to
join its mom again, That poor little rat coon. I
hope it stays out of dumpster.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
The Kentucky Department of Ficial Wildlife soon came to transport
the little coon to anverybody that spent the night, drying
out in more ways than one, and recuperating. Combs was
able to help release the coon back into the wild
the next day. The distillery, meanwhile, is up getting some
extra attention from that incident, plugging the themed T shirts

(41:50):
depicting the coon nicknamed ODIs Campbell after the town drunk
on the Andy Griffith Show in a dumpster and squigging
down some booze with the captions. It's like getting trashed. Yeah,
just another slow news day in Kentucky. Well, from coons
to squirrels. Now, maybe you've seen the matrix, you know,

(42:12):
the choice between the red pill and the blue pill.
If you've been to Connecticut, you may also get to
see a red squirrel and a blue squirrel. Animal Control
in Connecticut is investigating how two squirrels ended up red
and one blue. They shared photos that it does certainly
seem like they've been deliberately painted. They say, squirrels appear

(42:34):
to be okay, but they are asking for help and
identifying the person or person's responsible for doing this and why.
Now some are joking that it was a gender reveal
gone bad, which sadly could be possible. Actually, interestingly, this
is happening before. You see, there was an incident prior
to this several years ago where a sixty two year

(42:54):
old man in New York was arrested for trapping his
spray painting some squirrels a bright red apple color. Unclear
why he did it or how he was caught, but
for what it's worth, that's what was happening in Putnam County,
New York, which does border Connecticut. But it's not the
area where the new squirrels are. No indication the cases

(43:16):
are related, but if you have to see a red
and blue squirrel, let the wildlife people know. A woman
participating in a YouTube outdoor survival contest ended up lost
in a Michigan forest for nearly eighteen hours. Let's just
say it's safe to say I think she failed the challenge.

(43:36):
Thirty six year old California woman had left the contestants'
base camp in Pigeon River State Forest about five PM
to search for water, but did not return, according to
the Otesco County Sheriff's Office. You see, the contest hosts
conducted their own fruitless search, then they finally had to
call nine one one around five in the morning. According
to him Live, the woman was found nearly six hours

(44:00):
later after a search involved ground crews, canines, and the
Michigan State Police helicopter. The chopper located the woman in
a swampy area around ten forty in the morning. A
video shows her waving amid the trees and bushes that
could have easily concealed her. Luckily, she had those serious
injuries and was able to walk out of the area

(44:20):
on her own, guided by ground officers, according to Police Now.
The MSP Lieutenant Ashley Miller said the woman was among
eight contestants taking part in a five day survival challenge
in the heavily forested area that is very hard to
navigate at times and has absolutely no sale service. According
to w DIV, She said first responders were very relieved

(44:43):
by the rescue and very thankful that there were no
injuries as a result of this. Of course, maybe in
the future she should just stick to indoor survival. Needless
to say, she lost, but it's gonna make for a
great episode and wide papers. OWL survey of two thousand
Americans aged eighteen to thirty has revealed widespread anxiety about

(45:09):
adult essential adult responsibilities. Over eighty percent of respondents reported
feeling anxious due to lacking practical life skills, while only
twenty percent expressed confidence in everyday abilities. Financial literacy scored
the lowest, which is thirty one percent answering correctly on

(45:29):
basic money questions. Young adults struggled most with budgeting, understanding leases,
house maintenance, insurance, legal knowledge. Food and nutrition was the
only strong area. Eighty two percent correctly identified dairy products.
More than half felt stressed during the simple quiz. This

(45:49):
isn't about shaming gen Z, It's about revealing a real
problem backed by numbers. The head of communications at paper Owl,
Missus Schistoko, says a Google remains the top resource for
the life skills advice and this is where our future
is headed. Everyone well, nothing works up an appetite for

(46:12):
a baconator like larceny. A pair of women from Connecticut,
thirty eight year old Dominique Marion in twenty four year
old ty Najah Williams, were accused of stealing more than
two thousand dollars with the clothes from a TJ Max
in Massachusetts a few weeks back. The police didn't have

(46:32):
trouble tracking him down, you see, because they were spotted
a few minutes later at a Wendy's drive through located
right across the street. The local police department said the
officer who found them was no stranger to the Wendy's
drive through, and when they were caught, the women traded

(46:53):
in their combo meals for a pair of handcuffs. By
the way, the stolen clothes were in their car. The
cops also uncovered a large amount of additional items believed
to have been soldn from other areas stores. Both women
we're charged with larceny and conspiracy. No word on whether
they got to finish their Wendy's Combo meals B big

(47:18):
dumb no, no, no. You know, I'm open to talking

Speaker 1 (48:46):
President Trump says before he sends federal troops to certain cities,
he'd like to be asked. He added, if they did
it while on their knees, he could guarantee overnight delivery.
And people say Donald Trump doesn't care about consent. A
surgeon in the UK who amputated his own legs for
sexual gratification has been arrested over fraud. We had that

(49:11):
story in a recent podcast. Now talk about bringing your
work home. Clearly this guy has some sexual hang ups
simply just cannot walk away from. And a woman in
New Zealand set a world record by running one hundred
meters on top of loose lego pieces. That's par with

(49:32):
capital punishment. I'd say, Frank, I'd rather run over burning coles.
But if you want to see what one hundred meters
of bloody legos look like, check out the video. President
Trump affirmed that the US will keep a strong military
presidence in Poland after he had a warm meeting with
the country's new president. Now look, we've been making Polish

(49:53):
jokes for years. You know best to keep an eye
on him. I'm just happy he didn't try to buy Poland. Morrissey,
the former frontman of The Smiths, announced he's putting his
business interests in the band up for sale. He says
he wants one hundred million dollars and ads, please, please, please,
let me get what I want. A Blue movie has

(50:16):
been announced with an August twenty twenty seven release date,
So don't let your toddler hear this unless you want
to be asked, can we go see the Blue movie?
Can we go see the Blue Movie? For the next
two years. I mean, look, I'm still holding out for
the Blues Clues reboot when we find out that Steve
was hallucinating the whole time. And Denzel Washington revealed in
an interview, people have been pronouncing his name wrong for decades.

(50:40):
It's not Denzel Washington. I think it's Denzel Washington, not
Denzel Washington. Well, look, it's the Denzel part, you know,
not the Washington. In case you're wondering, I think we
can all pronounce Washington. But what's more is that this
is the first time he's telling us I didn't know
that Denny was such a pushover. The NBA star Angel

(51:01):
Reese suspended for a game I picked up her eighth
technical foul of the season. Maybe she should just think
about picking up hockey or maybe boxing. I mean, for
a woman named Angel, she sure seems to side often
with the devil on her shoulder. And recently, two powerball
players in Missouri and Texas one the estimated one point
eight billion dollar jackpot, which pretty much ended the game's

(51:24):
three month drought without a big winner. Dang, I was
banking on that money to cover my car insurance. You know,
I wouldn't even want to win if I had to
split it, I mean, what am I going to do
with nine hundred million dollars. Any research suggests LSD could
alleviate symptoms of anxiety, or if you don't have anxiety,
it well and just want to try it out. I

(51:46):
guess LSD can do that too. I can see the
commercial now melt away Anxiety with Johnson and Johnson brand
acid now in a flavored gummy an unreal snacks. That's
a Boston candy maker offers employees a pretty sweet perk
by allowing them to well expense as much chocolate as

(52:07):
they would like. Even Willie Wonka couldn't provide that kind
of cocoa. I like a company that takes care of
the employees, like, you know, let the chocolate chips fall
where they may. Right. And a California Boy Scout troup
is drawing praise after they found and rescued a seventy
eight year old hiker who had injured himself and gotten lost.

(52:28):
I mean everyone was officially rewarded there. I've fallen and
I can't get up, badge. If I ever get lost
on a hike, I hope I get rescued by girl
Scouts and that they're maybe packing some thin mints. A
woman in California has been charged with illegally registering her
dog to vote. What do you mean my dog can't vote? Man,

(52:50):
These politicians keep us on a short leash. Look, if
the legal immigrants are eating cats and dogs, maybe they
should get a vote or The church has named its
first millennial saint. That's a boy Middally, named God's Influencer
who used the Internet to spread faith before passing away
in twenty oh six. It's kind of sad that he's
no longer with us. I mean, this guy could have

(53:12):
done huge numbers on TikTok. I mean, look for young
folks who don't know. Becoming a saint is kind of
like being retweeted by God. Josh Brolin has said the
chemistry on the set of the new Knives Out movie
was so intense it felt like an orgy. Luckily the

(53:33):

felt the same way. Ryan Reynolds has finally admitted he
personally leaked the dead Pool test footage online back in

but look whoever pushed through Green Lantern back into twenty eleven.

(53:54):
They still need to pay. And in the end of

enforcer as she continues to grow in popularity. It was
either that or Clark was going to have to start
exercising her second Amendment right on the court. I mean,
Cunningham could open her own business. At this point, Soviet's
security we go hard in the paint. FBI is attempt

(54:18):
to burn seized meth at a Montana animal shelter backfired somehow,
sending smoke billowing into the building and several workers to
the hospital. Now that's an episode of Breaking Bad. I
would watch. The shelter obviously needed a thorough cleaning, but
with all that meth in the air, I bet they
finished in two hours. Now that's the FBI for you,

(54:39):
you know, always mething around and new data says pharmaceutical
companies have already spent about four dollars on four billion
dollars on TV ads. Tell me about it. I don't
think I have any more room in my medicine cabinet.
And every commercial ends with talk to your doctor to
see if our drugs are right for you. Charlie Kirk's

(55:02):
alleged assassin not cooperating with authorities. What a surprise. I'm
starting to see why his dad turned him in. But
what's worse is he'll lonely communicate by writing on bullet

A family in the Bay Area got a bill from

Woody Allen said recently Jeffrey Epstein was charming and personable

(55:38):
at dinners they both attended, adding he couldn't have been nicer.
He later confirmed these dinners for held at a McDonald's

After allegedly driving around in a phony police fan, a
sixty seven year old Maryland man was arrested by actual
officers and charged with impersonating a police officer. The Montgomery
County Department of Police posted pictures of the Montgomery Village

(57:38):
Residence ford transit fan topped with red and blue sirens
and the word police written in English and Spanish. When
pulled over, the man apparently continued the act, telling actual
MCPD officers that he too was a cop. According to
the MCPD, the man who then claimed without giving any proof,
that he was a former police officer. When arresting the manned,

(58:01):
police found a fake Baltimore City police badge and a
holster with a replica black pistol, and a list of
ten items reportedly recovered from inside the man's mock van
included an expandable baton, a baseball cap, a taser, and
a roll of yellow caution tape. In the words hap
CoA police were written on the van's hood and side

(58:23):
door in apparent reference to the Hispanic American Police Command
Officers Association. That's a police affinity group that is not
authorized to drive its own separately marked cars. The officer
determined that the four did not belong to MCPD and
did not match the typical configuration used by other law
enforcement agencies in the area. They wrote. The van was

(58:46):
also charged with driving a vehicle marked and equipped to
resemble a police cruiser for his custom job. Arrested by
the MCPD, the Montgomery Village man was released from the
Montgomery County Central Processing Unit on a two thousand dollar bond. Look,
it takes some cajones to tell the real cops you're
a cop when you're pulled over by the real cops. Yeah. Sure,

(59:09):
there's a lot of people I'm sure impersonating law enforcement lately,
you know, and some are paid by the government. And
then there's this. A thirty eight year old New York
man stands accused of a myriad of crimes in Florida,
including one count each of burgunary, burgulary with a salt, battery,
resisting an officer with violence, breach of the peace, criminal

(59:30):
mischief in the amount of over one thousand dollars, eight
counts of battery on an officer, and that's all, according
to the Flagler County Jail Records Authority say Jeffrey Kimmel
hales from the small upstate village of Rappinger's Falls in
the Empire State, but that the incident occurred at the
Sharps Discount liquors in Palm Coast, a small city about

(59:53):
sixty miles southeast of Jacksonville, Florida, about two pm, deputies
responded to a verbal disturbance, but found the words were
just the start. According to the press release issued by
the Flagler County Sheriff's Office is they went in route,
Dispatchers informed deputies and a customer with a large knife
in his waistband was standing on top of the counter,

(01:00:16):
spitting and throwing glass bottles all over the floor. According
to the press release, Kimmel was allegedly still on top
of the counter and in an erratic state because the
clerk refused to sell him more alcohol. Deputies then went
on to remove the man from the store. I went
outside the store. Kimmel, whose hands were still bleeding from

(01:00:39):
his earlier outbursts, began resisting deputies by violently kicking, screaming,
and spitting. According to the press release, due to Kimmel's
active spitting blood deputies who were restraining him, deputies placed
a spit mask over his head to protect themselves from
his bodily fluids. The store clerk said the interaction again

(01:01:00):
innocently enough. First, the defendant came in to make a
purchase of four shots of liquor and left, according to
the clerk. Then Kimmel returned to get more booze. This time, however,
the store turned him down. That denial allegedly sent the
man off. Kimmel, said to have screamed at the clerk,
jumped on the front counter started kicking items onto the floor.

(01:01:22):
According to the Sheriff's office, during this alleged outburst, the
clerk and several other customers locked themselves in the back
room to wait for help to arrive. In body worn
camera footage of the ensuing arrest, the defendant initially appears calm.
We're is trying to figure out why you were up
on the counter, says one deputy, to which the man

(01:01:43):
identified as Kimmel says, that's your job to figure out,
all right, bro. The deputy replies, as long as you're
cool with us, we'll be cool with you, bro. One
moments later, the arrested man replies, as he visibly begins
to struggle, bog boogie boogine, beat my ass, pepper, spray me,
taste me. Woo wee haw wee haw if you sir,

(01:02:06):
no a deputy responds. The man then says, do it again,
do it again. I like the rough stuff. I'm gonna
bite your hands unspit on you, and then the man
starts spitting well. Next, the man is placed on the pavement,
continuing to spit at multiple deputies while continuing to verbally
address and cuss Adam. A spit hood was placed on
the defendant before he's then lifted and put in the

(01:02:27):
back of the patrol car. Well Kimba is currently being
detained in the Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility on two
hundred and thirty six thousand dollars in bond. This guy
must have really wanted another drink, but he found out
he's not in New York and we won't tolerate behavior
like this in Florida, says the Flagler County Sheriff Rick Stally.

(01:02:48):
This individual's violent outburst placed innocent people in danger and
caused significant damage to a local business, and thanks to
the actions of our deputies, he was taken into custody
before anyone was seriously hurt. So found out that Florida
is not a catch and release state and if you
attack your deputy, Sarah Sheriff, we will subdue you and
take you to the green roof in now. Booginy moogieymoginy

(01:03:10):
moogady beat mis pepper, spray me, taste me. Woo we
haw wee haw. If you sir, that could be a
real hit, you know. Huh yeah, let's see. I would
say New York Man out Florida, mands Florida, or how
about this. A couple is facing felony charges after authorities

(01:03:30):
uncovered a half million dollar counterfeit luxury goods operation inside
there Miami Gardens home. You're ave. Alaskaez Garcia and Mayrelis
Marquez Plans were arrested on felony counterfeiting charges tied to
more than twenty thousand dollars in goods, according to CBS
Root News. Authorities say over five hundred counterfeit items were

(01:03:54):
found at their home, which had been transformed into a
mini luxury boutie. You were arrested for selling counterfeit goods
or services over one thousand dollars, Miami Dad County Judge
Mendy Glazer said during their hearing. The investigation began when
an investigator found an Instagram post advertising a home as

(01:04:16):
a Louis Button storefront with handbags and clothing and shoes
displayed for sale. Authorities traced the address to northwest one
eighty fifth Street, confirming it was owned by the thirty
three year old last Quez Garcia. Well sovey Let's later
revealed activity consistent with counterfeit sales, along with the social

(01:04:38):
media accounts linking Valasquez Garcia and the thirty two year
old Marquees Plans to the nationwide shipping of fake goods.
An undercover agent conducted controlled buys at the home where
Marquees Plans escorted them into the counterfeit boutique before Vlasquez
Garcia offered items for sale. According to the report now

(01:04:59):
in one and since, the agent purchased a handbag valued
at seventy five hundred and fifty dollars and a one
thousand and seventy dollars shirt for the lolo price of
just one hundred eighty dollars cash. Well, during the second visit,
the agent bought a bathing suit, a belt, cap, and
shirt with combined MSRP of thirty four hundred and thirty

(01:05:20):
five dollars for the lolo price of just two hundred
and fifty dollars cash. A Louis Vutten manager later verified
all of the items were counterfeit. Now with the search warrant,
authority sees more than five hundred counterfeit items from the home,
merchandise that would have been worth well over a half
million dollars if authentic. If the items were real, they

(01:05:43):
would have been over a half million dollars, says a
state attorney. Las Quez Garcia and Marquez Plans were booked
on felony counterfeiting charges involving goods valued to twenty thousand
dollars or more. Each was held on a five thousand
dollars bond, which they later posted. Yeah, the Instagram had
showing their home as a Louis Wooten storefront. Is the
ballsy part? Yeah, Flea markets in Chinatown figure it out well.

(01:06:07):
I mention what the items would have been worth, I
mean if they were real, I mean they were Louis lafufu.
What about this? A thirty four year old Texas woman
was taken into custody following an incident where she allegedly
resisted arrest and spent on a deputy. According to the
Jasper County Sheriff's Office, Deputy Noel was dispatched around nine

(01:06:32):
twenty two pm to the intersection of County Road for
eighty two in US Highway ninety six after reports of
a woman screaming and acting erratically. The deputy located Tory
Kleines of Kirbyville, who was reportedly under the influence of
an arcotic. Authorities say that Kleines refused commands to stop

(01:06:53):
and attempted to walk away. She resisted when informed she
was being detained, but Deputy Noel managed to secure her
in handcuffs. As clients was being placed in the patrol vehicle,
she allegedly spit on Deputy Noel. Kleins was then booked
into the Jasper County Jail in charges of harassment of
a public servant resisting arrest in public intoxication. Sheriff Chuck

(01:07:16):
Hayward reminded of the public that all individuals are presumed
innocent until proven guilty in a court of law and
emphasized the department's commitment to combating criminal activity in Jasper County.
Of course, if anybody spits on me, you commit it's
going to escalate some things. Yeah, Innocent until proven guilty,
or until you spit on a cop and you got

(01:07:36):
to check this one out. A fifty five year old
Florida man accused of posing as a nurse was arrested
after authority said he used fraudulent identification to apply for
a job. Investors said Joseph Kenney of Lake Mary does
not have a nursing license in Florida, but tried to
obtain a nursing position. The Volucia Sheriff's Office was content

(01:08:00):
after a nursing hiring manager became a little suspicious of
Kenney's application. According to the news release, detectives posing as
hiring staff contacted Kenny to set up an interview. He
was subsequently arrested outside of Advent Health. Video shared by
the Sheriff's office showed what did I do? Kenny asked
as the deputies put him in handcuffs. Authority said Kenny

(01:08:22):
did not apply for a position at Advent Health and
the location was used by deputies for the arrest. The
Sheriff's office said that the state law bans people from
even attempting or offering to practice a healthcare profession without
a license, and Kenny was charged with two counts of
practicing healthcare without a license. His attorney did not immediately

(01:08:43):
respond to a request for a comment now. An investigation
found that Kenny's license was revoked in twenty twenty two
and that he had been using another person's identity to
look for work in central Florida. The Sheriff's office said
he used the same fraudulent ID and license to apply
for ten ten to fifteen jobs. He was hired for
two positions in Orange and Seminole Counties and worked at

(01:09:06):
each location for less than a week, according to the authorities. Previously,
Kenny had had held nursing licenses in Alabama, California, and Florida,
and had been disciplined for doverning drugs from his employer,
driving under the influence of drugs, providing false information, and
unprofessional conduct. Man, you know the job market is that bad? Now?

(01:09:30):
What did I do? That's a valid question in Florida
man speak, you might say, and you'll never believe this.
Police in California are searching for two suspects accused of
stealing canisters of nitrous oxide from a local smoke shop.
A man attempted to purchase the canisters from Illusioned Smoke
Shop in Santa Barbara, but his card was declined. The

(01:09:54):
business that a woman took the canisters. Sometime later in
the day. The two left in a car, possibly a Toyota.
Police believe the credit cards were fraudulent. Anybody with tips
for information should contact the Santa Barbara Police Department. Yeah,
they'll be the ones laughing uncontrollably now we hear Nitris
is fine if you're California sober Okay. One more, A

(01:10:18):
forty year old Oregon man was arrested for allegedly residing
in a crawl space beneath a Clacamus apartment building without permission.
Deputies responded around eleven o'clock at night after a witness
saw the man park and enter the back of the
complex with light visible from the crawl space before the

(01:10:38):
door closed. Officers discovered the damaged door was locked with
an extension court running through a vent. The property owner
confirmed no one should be there and reported hearing strange
noises previously. After forcing entry, deputies found Benjamin Baker had
taken significant steps to improve the conditions of the crawl

(01:10:59):
space and was obviously living inside, but they discovered a
bed and lights, chargers, TVs, and electronic equipment connected to
the building's power supply. A pipe tested positive for methamphetamine.
Baker faces burglary and drug possession charges and bill was
set at seventy five thousand dollars. Yeah, the same crawl

(01:11:19):
space would probably cost five thousand a month in Manhattan.
The myth is kind of a false flag. I mean,
this is just one solution in the current housing market. Well,
