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.
It's the great bast of the world and.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Turned around.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Stupid.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
I'm insane, 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.
I must say that this is seven seasons of stupidity

(00:49):
for the podcast. There's been some pretty stupid things that
I've talked about, Okay, but I think this is probably
the best illustration of stupidity that I can possibly come
up with. I mean, look, we've all been there who
have had to make returns or exchanges, and a lot

(01:10):
of companies make returns in exchanges, sometimes a little more cumbersome,
you know, And I think it's mostly because of people
like this. This is definitely This guy apparently has nothing
to do with his life. He's a man named John Stockwell.

(01:31):
He's on TikTok and he claims he has been repeatedly
ordering one hundred ten pound cast iron anvils on Amazon
for over six months, only to immediately return them. This
sounds like this really sounds like something from a Looney

(01:53):
Tunes cartoon. Now, the anivials cost more than two hundred
and twenty five dollars each, but you see with his
prime account, John has him shipped to him and shipped
back for free, so they cover the costs. And you're asking,
what is the purpose of this, Well, he shows his

(02:15):
Amazon order page and he scrolls down to show ten
anvil orders. Those only covered a couple of weeks. I'm
not really sure how many he's ordered in the six
month time frame, but he says, and I'm going to
keep doing this until somebody does something about it. Okay again,

(02:37):
apparently this guy has nothing to do with his life.
Some commenters have been criticizing him, calling him a bad person,
chastising him for wasting people's time and effort, including his
delivery man, even saying he's costing the business that sells
the anvil's money. Well John just laughs at them, of

(02:58):
course he does. In one video, he even welcomed haters
to come by his house to talk to him about it.
The problem is it wasn't his address, No, it was
he addressed for Barack Obama. John's also talked about how
the media reached out to him, but he just jokes

(03:19):
around with him. Like they ask him what the anvils
are for, and he said, quote, dropping on road runners.
They asked him what the goal was, he said, quote,
hadn't really thought about it. Like I said, he hasn't
really thought about life either. Guy definitely trying to be funny,
and he's definitely got to stand up clips of himself

(03:40):
on his feet. But it's unclear if Amazon pays for
that shipping or the anvil seller, or if anyone would
tell him to knock it off. But either way, it's
this kind of stupidity ultimately contributes to prices rising for
actual customers. I think maybe what we need to do
is have someone manufacture a maybe a million ton anvil

(04:04):
and drop it on his house. Okay, imagine you're accused
of a crime you did not commit. You're sitting in
court waiting for the judge to read the verdict, and
this happens. A twenty six year old named Alton Oliver
was on trial in Georgia facing murder charges. He was

(04:27):
accused of killing an off duty cop back in twenty
twenty two, but claimed it was in self defense. Now,
I'm sure you can google all the details, but the
trial lasted three days wrapped up after the jury quickly
came back with a verdict. They handed it to the
judge to read, and everybody was on the edge of
their seat. Well, if you haven't seen the court footage,

(04:53):
it's been all over social media because the judge flubbed
the verdict. He said guilty but meant to say not
guilty on all counts. Well, someone off camera, apparently juror,
corrected him. He finally said not guilty about twenty seconds later.

(05:16):
Here's the judge, his name is Henry Newkirk, messing up
the verdict.

Speaker 4 (05:20):
The verdict, We the jury find that Finnit guilty as
to all six counts of the abil of indictment. I'm
sure for you fully hand us to a council can
pass it over to m I say not sorry, We
the jury find that Finnan not guilty on all six counts.

(05:41):
I apologize for my mispronunciation.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah, the casual apology that he gave because of it
kind of irked a few people. He just kind of
chuckled and said, I apologize for my mispronunciation. Oh, boy. Well, well, yeah,
that's the one faux pauw that anybody sitting in the

(06:07):
bench in a black robe needs to stay the farthest
away from you know what I'm saying, Maybe just the
I have the jury write the verdict and big bold,
black magic marker on a big piece of paper and
hand it to him and he just flips the paper
up and shows it to everybody. Okay, guys, I well,

(06:31):
first off, I'm sure everybody was anxious in the courtroom.
But guys, and maybe you're anxious and your anxiety is spiking.
It could be a lot of things that's happening, you know.
Could be chaos at work, could be stressful home life,
could be the kids, could be anything. Or it could

(06:52):
be that haircut that you scheduled. See with me, I
don't have to worry about that because I haven't been
to a I've not had scissors cut my hair. I
can't remember the last time the scissors have cut my hair. Well, anyway,
there's a new survey out on men's hairstyles. Twenty one

(07:13):
percent of men say they feel nervous asking their barber
or hairstyle is for a new look, and twenty three
percent of men have been afraid to ask for specific
cuts even when they really wanted it. I feel your pain. See.
The study found the average guy gets their hair cut

(07:34):
ten times a year, about once every five weeks, and
has had the same hairstyle for seven years. Yeah, I
can attest to that. Eighty four percent of men say
they feel confident with their current hairdoo. Fifty five percent
have never considered changing it. Now, my dad was one
of them. He had the same hairstyle for most of

(07:57):
his seventy years, except that one time he kind of
had the midlife crisis and decided to start parting his
hair differently, and he really looked goofy frankly. Well, anyway,
the other forty five percent of men maybe have thought
about changing their hairstyle, but that doesn't mean that they're,

(08:18):
you know, up for anything. Now here's ten hairstyles ranked
by the number of those men who think they could
maybe make it work. Okay, let's see number one. Of course,
just let it grow out. And that's what I do.
I just let it grow out. And I've had ladies say,
but if you just clip the ends of the hair,

(08:39):
it will help it to grow a lot longer because
you cut off these split ends. Well, I've done that
doesn't work, okay, But twenty percent think they can pull
off letting their hair grow out. Of course, this is
popular too nowadays, something I have not yet considered fully
shaved or bold. Okay, twenty two percent think that, as
opposed to the twenty eight percent who think they can

(09:00):
pull off letting the hair grow. Thirteen percent say, well,
we'll do the middle part with long hair. That's okay,
if you've got hair that works that way. My hair
is like thin and fine, it just lays there, or
maybe getting a hard side part. Thirteen percent for that,
thirteen percent for the middle part. Kind of an even split.

(09:23):
Then there's about eleven percent think they could do the
spiked hair. I couldn't do that. I know I couldn't.
I've tried it because my hair is so thin and fine.
It doesn't really spike. It just sort of like lays
and waves. Then there's the highlights. Eleven percent think they
could do the highlights. Well, you know, with me being blonde,
I don't really think I need highlights. The greased back

(09:43):
hair look ten percent say they can do that. I'm
not doing that because that's what I started out with
as a kid, my dad would smear vitalis or VO
five in my hair. Then there is the eight percent
that would do the mullet I have. I've had the mullet,
and I don't think I have a problem with the mullet,
but now I don't really need I don't have enough

(10:05):
to work with for a mullet, so now I'm growing
a scullet. And then there's eight percent that could do
the mohawk. Well, I'm completely out of the running for
that because I don't even have enough to do a moe.
And then finally seven percent could do a bleach buzz cut.
Bleached buzz cut. It says a lot about bleach buzzcuts

(10:26):
when more men think they could pull off mullets or mohawks.
People make fun of mullets, but they're really not going
to attract near the attention to someone trying a mohawk
and a fresh new dew. Well, actually I am. I'm
a bit surprised that numbers aren't higher, especially if any
of them can even relate to my own list of
top ways to know you got a bad haircut. Okay,

(10:47):
top ways to know you've got a bad haircut. First off,
number one does the sign in the front say fantastic SAMs,
you got a bad haircut. Trekkies walk up and say
big fan, mister Spock, And I know people like that too.
Another way to know you got a bad haircut. After
he finishes, your barber sprints to the airport and catches

(11:09):
the next flight to a country that doesn't have an
extra tradition agreement with the US. Okay, Another way you
know that you got a bad haircut. You ask for
Justin Timberlake from twenty twenty five. You get the Justin
Timberlake from nineteen ninety eight. Another way you know you're
going to get a bad haircut, your hairstyle ist just straight.

(11:31):
It's your first fear right there. The first thing your
kids say when you get home from the barber shop
is carrot top. Or when you ask your barber what
you owe him, he says forgiveness. And finally, one way
you know you got a bad haircut, it looks just
like the poster in the window. And the poster in
the window is Napoleon Dynamite. By the way, you also

(11:55):
know you've had a bad haircut when Doe Gates says,
you got a great haircut. Yeah, h No, there's a
Rhode Island prosecutor who tried to throw her weight around
with police when they were asked to get her out
of a restaurant. Multiple times, she told the officer she
couldn't be arrested because she was the a g and

(12:17):
that the officer would quote regret this.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
Ye.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Well, here's a special Assistant Attorney General Devon Hogan. Flanagan
and her friend being asked to leave the restaurant and
eventually getting arrested. You're trust mess.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
We gotta leave now.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Trust you're not going to arrest us number two.

Speaker 4 (12:42):
We gotta go.

Speaker 5 (12:43):
I'm a ag.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
I'm an aging. Good for you. Let's go. We're leaving
your hands off.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
I'm an aging, but you're going.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
At numerous points then the video, police till Flannagan and
her friend Veronica Hennon that the confrontation would be over
if they just left the Banister's Wharf restaurant. All they
had to do was leave, but they preferred instead to
get mouthy. She also told the cops twice that they

(13:20):
had to turn off their body cams upon request. It
wasn't clear in the video what sparked the women's conflict
with the restaurant or even why they were insisting on staying.
An officer can be heard on camera asking a restaurant
employee do you just want them out? Do you just
want them trespassed? Anything we can do trespass, yes, says
the employee. As Hogan Flannagan was loaded into the back

(13:43):
of a police car in handcuffs, she said one more time,
I'm an a and then the door slamm didn't cut
her off before she could get to the final g
The State Attorney's General's office identified Hogan Flannagan as a
special Assistant Attorney General who's been on the job for
seven years and is assigned to the Criminal Division's Appellet Unit.

(14:05):
State prosecutors are still reviewing the incident now. At this time,
we are unable to comment further on this matter as
it relates to personnel issues, says a spokesperson for the
State Attorney General there. Timothy Rodeau is who he is.
He issued that statement. Hogan Flannagan was charged with wilful
trespass and given the summons to appear in court. I

(14:27):
guess she's going to tell the judge she doesn't need
to come in appear before him. Becausehe'sy ag. Hannon was
charged with wilful trespass, disorderly conduct resisting arrest. Bodycam video
showed handed briefly slipping out of her handcuffs during the confrontation,
repeatedly kicking the door of the police vehicle as officers
try to arrest her. Real demeaning, A real nice demeanor

(14:52):
for the state ag Maybe they can use that in
their next campaign ad for reelection. Well, this man gave
us stripped teas that nobody asked for. An unidentified man
was dragged away from a Jet Blue terminal at Boston
Logan International after he stripped down buck nicked in front

(15:13):
of the passengers waiting to board their flight. Free entertainment
flyers at the airport's Terminal C were waiting to board
their flight when this man shockingly took off all of
his clothes to stretch in his red underwear, his red
Rider underwear. Maybe I don't know, but that's according to
Aviation A to Z. In the viral video the jaw

(15:36):
dropping scene, seemingly posted by Cammy Marie on Facebook, man
is seen lying on the floor his bright colored red
boxer briefs, raising his feet in the air and then
turning over onto his hands and knees with his butt
in the air, facing the waiting area. With his rear
end in the air, He then pulled his underwear down

(15:58):
to moon the creeped out crowd. At one point, the
man discarded his undies and spread his arms wide and
muttered something to himself while standing fully naked. He stood
there proudly, letting the stunned travelers get a good look
at him in his birthday suit. Can you imagine being
one of those lucky, well or unlucky flyers who witnessed

(16:21):
this startling scene. It's unclear when the scene took place.
Jet Blue did not immediately respond to a request for
a comment, but public indecency in Massachusetts can be punished
with a fine, jail time, or even both. But it's
uncertain what happened to the flasher. The scandalous act has
gone viral as unruly travelers all around the world continue
their ridiculous antics. Reportedly, Massachusetts state troopers showed up to

(16:45):
calm the chaos and carried the man, who had at
least put his underwear back on off and into the
paddy wagon. You I mentioned it would be a little
odd having four guys have it to carry a fully
naked man. I mean, you told this guy you could
take take out his frank in Beantown.

Speaker 4 (17:03):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Not exactly business class behavior. Definitely now boarding group six
kind of guy, right, Okay, yeah, you've heard this before, right, Okay,
you've heard about Grandpa lecturing up the old classic walking
five miles to school uphill both ways, barefoot, and the
rains sleet and snow.

Speaker 6 (17:27):
Well.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
School district in Indiana was actually forced to cancel school
just on the fifth day of school because there were
no school buses. The catalytic converters from twenty of those
buses were stolen overnight. Stolen catalytic converters. You know, it's
a huge business, so this thief or thieves really hit

(17:49):
the jackpot. The district didn't say if the police had
any leads, and there's no word of any arrest so far.
Here's the police chief, Marty Corley, to talking about what happened.
Categor converters. You know, you can scrap those for a
nice price. I hear anywhere from five hundred to maybe
nine hundred dollars. A piece. Most important thing is that

(18:11):
we get our kids back to school now. They also
didn't say anything about their security at the bus garage,
but it would probably be a good idea to ramp
that up a bit. They did virtual classes for a
couple of days, but the schools reopened a few days later.
One parent asked how a criminal could do that, knowing
how it would affect the children. Well, I hate to
say it, but they didn't care. You know, if it

(18:36):
wasn't for online learning, this would be the perfect crime
to get out of school. Idea for a math class
maybe Earl Steel's catalytic converters from twenty school buses. How
much can he make on the black market? Yeah? Can we?
Can we call catalytic convertersift a pandemic yet? Although this
does remind me of a true story that happened whenever

(18:56):
I was working at a radio station up in northwest
Pennsylvania where I did a feature on stupidity at least
once a day, the Bonehead of the Day award, and
we had our own bone head that happened right there. Now,
this was again probably in happened maybe after the spring break,

(19:21):
probably in April. And you know, at this point you're
not expecting snow, you shouldn't expect snow after spring break,
not enough to you know, delay school. So it was
a bit surprising to get a phone call from the
nearby school district saying the school would be delayed two hours.

(19:42):
I'm like why, and they said, well, we can't get
the buses started. Turns out somebody had snuck into the
bus depot and removed the keys from the ignition. Somehow

(20:02):
that district all their bus drivers kept their keys in
the ignition and just closed up the doors. Okay, well,
apparently some kids found out about it. They snuck in
and took all the keys, so they had to make
brand new keys for all those buses. So there you

(20:26):
have it. Schools need to kind of get smart, or
if you're going to be stupid and get arrested, you
can at least have fun with it, right. The forty
one year old woman in Florida gets a DUI and
she recreated the little silly mugshot from her other DUI

(20:50):
that she got two years prior. It happened in Brevard County,
east of Orlando. Her name is Diane Gonzales. She got
busted for drunk driving back in twenty twenty three and
made one of those funny faces in the mugshot, you know,
head cocked, tongue sticking out, you know. Cut to the
recent arrest. She was sitting in a red light. The
cop pulls her over when the light turned green. She

(21:12):
didn't move. According to police, she was rambling about random things,
admitted she just smoked some weed, and agreed to a
sobriety test, and well, it turned out she had also
been drinking. What a surprise. A breathalyzer clocked her at
twice the legal limit. So when they booked her, she
struck the exact same pose again, headcock, tongue out there.

(21:36):
The only difference is this time she leaned her head
to the opposite side than she did the last time. Well,
they posted both photos on Facebook and pretty much shamed
her for it. They said she obviously had zero remorse
and hopefully a judge sees the photos and takes appropriate
action to keep her locked up behind bars for a
little while and off the streets. There. Video online shows

(22:00):
a woman appearing to well, let's say, have an angry
and at time violent meltdown in the middle of the
Southwest concourse at Orlando International Airport. Oh look, another stupid
story from an airport. Well The shared video appears to
show the woman yelling in the direction of Southwest employees,

(22:22):
following one of them, and repeatedly hitting computers at the
gate against at the gate agent's kiosks, one of which
was literally pushed to the ground. Passenger Peyton Turberville, who
was at the airport and recorded the now viral moment,
told story Full that the woman was upset obviously because

(22:43):
she did not make the standby list for three flights.
Well that's why they call it standby. Fox thirty five
has not been able to independently verify the claim. The
woman was later a dim is forty five year old
some silamet villez Rodriguez. She was arrested and booked into

(23:08):
jail charges about ay, criminal mischief resisting an office without violence.
According to Peyton Turboville, the person who recorded the video
and shared it with story Full, the two minute video
shows the woman shouting in the terminal, attempting at least
once to kick in the direction of an airport employee,
and punching at least two of the computers at the

(23:29):
Southwest Gate kiosk. She also appears to follow one of
the staff members around while engaging with other people off
camera in the terminal. Now, it appears that the woman
who has been murdered in the video mentioned in the
video she was traveling to bury a loved one, possibly
her brother. An emotional time for anyone right while, she

(23:50):
can be heard screaming about her inability to catch a
flight and urging other travelers to call the police.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
Are you kidding me? You're kidding me? I don't about
my brother?

Speaker 4 (24:15):
Damn.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
Oh that's a song we.

Speaker 5 (24:22):
Right light was boo tay wasted?

Speaker 4 (24:31):
Don't flight?

Speaker 3 (24:31):
Do fight three play? I'm like, what my minute? Did
you come for?

Speaker 7 (24:44):
Whom?

Speaker 6 (24:46):
Your a curious sense.

Speaker 4 (24:50):
I? Oh?

Speaker 3 (24:51):
My right, so that's what I want.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
Definitely. Trouble said that the woman was frustrated after not
making stand by on her number of flights. She tried
to get in through the gate after it closed and
they asked her to stop. Witnesses told please that the
woman Velez Rodriguez, attempted to disrupt a flight suboarding process,
struck an airline employee, and damaged computer equipment valued more

(25:16):
than one thousand dollars.

Speaker 8 (25:18):
Now.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
She was arrested and booked into jail in charges a battery,
criminal mischief, and resisting officers without violence. Police alleges a
woman tried to pull away from officers as she was
being taken into custody, and apparently she didn't make her
flight either, if she ever got one. Okay, well, it's
been said on this podcast before that Iowa io Wa

(25:43):
stands for idiots out walking around. Here's another piece of
evidence support to thank supporting that claim. You can also
add this one to the list of things you did
not realize you could not do. Not that any non
stupid person would ever have thought to do this, But
did you know you can be arrested for faking public intoxication? Well,

(26:09):
apparently you can in Iowa. That's right, folks. According to
a report from CACRG, deputies recently responded to a report
of people lying in a ditch in Elgin, Iowa. So
when they roll up, they find a thirty one year

(26:31):
old man from West Union allegedly pretending to be drunk,
not actually drunk, not even tipsy, just running his own
one man ditch dwelling show called Oops, I had too
Many And for that performance, mister Caleb Barker did not
get an applause. He got handcuffs. So here's the deal

(26:54):
an Iowa los specifically, the Iowa Code one two three
point four to six makes it illegal to not only
be intoxicated in a public place, but also to simulate intoxication.
Meaning if you think it's funny to just stumble around
and slur your words and mumble about pizza rolls in

(27:15):
the gas station parking lot, acting like the late Foster Brooks.
Look that man up, you know what I'm talking about.
Then the police are legally allowed to say, nice acting job, buddy,
but you're heading downtown. It's considered a simple misdemeanor, which
may sound harmless, like a slap on the wrist, but

(27:36):
that slap can mean fines of anywhere from one hundred
and five to eight hundred fifty five dollars, oh, plus
the extra search charges in court fees. Let's not forget
the possibility of up to thirty days in jail. Now,
imagine trying to explain to your celly that you're in
the slammer because you pretended to be slopped. It's not

(28:02):
tough guy material. That's actually sitcom material. It's also material
for a podcast on stupidity. After your stereotypical drunk guy
in a ditch routine. I will aw does allow those
convictions to be expunged after two years. As long as
you keep your record clean and act sober, the state

(28:23):
gives you a chance to basically wipe away your fate
drunk blunder, provided you don't do anything equally stupid in
the meantime. Basically keep your acting on stage, not in public.
Moral of the story, and I would don't drink and
stumble in public, but also do not not drink and
then stumble in public. So why would I be even

(28:47):
talking about this? Apparently the only safe place to practice
or pretend drunk routine is at home in front of
your dog or cat. While the dog man think it's hilarious,
the cat will just silently judge you as so well,
but nobody will call the cops. Well. In Milwaukee, Wisconsin,

(29:08):
a woman's facing a felony charged there after allegedly tracking
a door dash delivery driver to her home, then causing
ten thousand dollars in damage to her vehicle why because
of an undelivered food order. Prosecutors have charged Janaia Jones

(29:28):
with criminal damage to property and disorderly conduct after she
allegedly used the door Dash app to locate a driver
whose service was interrupted during a delivery. She did this
over a ten piece chicken wing order. She passed Friars
to come here, says Faith Morris talking to TMJ four.

Speaker 8 (29:53):
Now.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
The criminal complaint details how Maurice attempted to complete a
food delivery from Friar's restaurant, but experience phone service issues
that prevented her from completing the order. So when Morris
returned to her home to connect to a Wi Fi
and cancel the order, prosecutors say the customer began messaging her. Now,

(30:13):
Milwaukee police executed a search warrant through door Dash, which
identified the customer as Jones. According to the court documents,
Jones sent messages asking so which one is yours, referring
to Morris's address. Marris told police she feared the customer.
It was able to track her back to her home

(30:33):
using door Dash's GPS, as she never got the complete
she never had, you know, completed the order. There's no
way that she should have been able to call me
for an hour after this happened. An hour. It's absolutely insane,
Maris says. Well minutes after the messages, ring doorbell footage
captured a woman, allegedly Jones, approaching Marris's home. The criminal

(30:58):
complaint states that Jones was seen striking Marris's vehicle with
a tire iron, smashing her windows, and that a brick
was also thrown at Marris's car. Here's Faith just talking
about her experience.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
Within five minutes, t mobile cuts my phone off. We
pull up to the location, but the address will not load.
All of a sudden, I'm getting text messages from the
customer saying that I'm stealing their foods when I was
watching her just beat the window up like the glass
was just raining. And I don't know if they were

(31:33):
drunk or what it was, but they were definitely possessed.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
For the past month, Maris says she's been able to
work as a delivery driver while dealing with the aftermath
of the incident. She goes, this is a crazy situation
that's going crazy on the internet because a lot of
people have never heard of something like this, and a
lot of people never thought of something like this could
even happen, says Marris. Court record show Milwaukee police investigators

(31:58):
use technology to match the person's seen on the rings
surveillance video with bodycam footage of a previous crash involving
Jones earlier this year. DoorDash responded to the incident in
a statement to tmj FO, saying the customer's actions are
completely uncalled for, unacceptable and disturbing. Now I've convicted Jones
will face up for three and a half years in

(32:18):
prison on the felony criminal damage to property charge plus
the misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge. So yeah, oh, your honor,
my client would like to enter a plea of angry.
It's one thousand dollars of damage per chicken wing. Right,
Jones surely could have found a snack in the time
it took to find the address and grab a brick

(32:40):
and a tire iron. Okay, So yeah, we have a
door dash car getting beaten up over missing chicken wings.
We also have a drunk hot dog t peeing a
neighbors car. That's right. It's important to you know, ease

(33:00):
into the week on a Monday and not stress out
too much. Or you can just take a page out
of a Forida woman's book and just start drinking right
off the bat. A forty eight year old woman from
Saint Petersburg, Florida, it was arrested on a Monday after
she did some day drinking and got a rather weird

(33:21):
head start. On Halloween, Marcia Morgan was angry after one
of her neighbors parked too close to her yard, so
she decided to toilet paper their car. According to the
police report, she was drunk, but she was also dressed
in a hot dog costume. They say she was leaning

(33:46):
against the person's cart with a roll of toilet paper
in her hand, while pulling off strips and putting it
all over the vehicle. They described her as intoxicated and uncooperative.
You don't want an uncooperative hot dog best for sure.
It's not clear whether she had had run ins with
her neighbors before, and the cops didn't say why she
was dressed as a hot dog, but all this happened

(34:07):
around four o'clock in the afternoon. They charged her with
disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. She pleads no contests the
next day. She also has to pay for a five
hundred and fifty dollars fine or do about forty hours
of community service to work it off. She was wearing
the proper uniform. I guess I in her understand her

(34:29):
problem and intoxicated anyway, It's hardly seeming like a detail
worth mentioning. I mean, just good clean fun, right, I mean,
what Florida is? I think maybe it is Florida even
Florida anymore. If you can't tpee your neighbor's car and
a hot dog costume without getting hauled in, I mean,
this is just another day in the Sunshine State. Well,

(34:50):
there's a group of friends that were staying at a
vacation rental apartment in Palm Beach, Florida, that documented a
moment that they were harassed by a woman not in
a hot dog suit, but was claiming they were trespassing. Now,
sharing the incident in a three part TikTok series creator
named Paulina, who's also by the way, a model, explained

(35:12):
how the entire ordeal began. Now the woman sees them
taking photos in the hallway of this rental apartment building.
Polina noted in the video that one of her friends
had rented the unit in the building so they could
take pictures for his clothing brand his Instagram account. The
conversation is going on now in front of an employee

(35:33):
who told them they cannot shoot there. They have cameras.
The model isn't a very fashionable outfit, but this woman
believes that they're up to something quite different.

Speaker 3 (35:44):
Excuse me, they were outside of my home. I don't
know where they're from.

Speaker 5 (35:49):
They're going to the room and they're staying in the room,
and they're not going to whore and pimp her.

Speaker 3 (35:55):
They're not going to pimp the whore. They rent their room.

Speaker 5 (36:01):
Not my common elements, Pampo, you can be cordial though, No,
why not because you're trespassing?

Speaker 3 (36:09):
Just because where are you from? Exactly?

Speaker 1 (36:12):
St. Louis, Missouri.

Speaker 5 (36:13):
You're not from Florida, are you exactly?

Speaker 3 (36:17):
Maybe in Missouri you'd be.

Speaker 5 (36:18):
Carrying on as you do, but not in Florida.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
Pimp Iris Gray is one of the friends involved in
the incident and the person who recorded the videos that
Paulina shared. They're talking to people, while they were remaining
respectful the whole time, the woman just would not stop
berating them. Paulina explains that they eventually went downstairs to
speak to the front desk because the woman's behavior was unacceptable. So,

(36:45):
as the group tells the person seated at the front desk,
what happens, the woman can be heard repeatedly cutting into
the conversation, but the apartment lady wasn't done with the
visiting threesome. There's a second video that Polina shared. The
group attempt to make their way back to their room
as the woman follows them up into the elevator well.

(37:07):
One of their friends tries to block the entryway to
the elevator. The woman pushes past them to get inside.
She tried to block them from getting in the elevator,
but when they entered, she didn't let them go up.

Speaker 5 (37:22):
On my homestead property in Florida AIRBND. So what that
gets you back to your unit and only your unity
and you trespass on my private property homestead Missouri. Pimp, pimp, pimp.

Speaker 9 (37:41):
Poor Sorry you had a missed up date.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
To day marriage.

Speaker 3 (37:44):
I hope it gets better, Missouri.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
They finally exited the elevator and told the woman they're
going to go back to the room, which prompts her
to add, you get back to your room and I'll
let you know your rights while you sit in the
Florida hoores. Okay. Once the group finally reaches their unit,
she tells them to quote, stay in your effing room.

(38:10):
As they close the door. She continues to stand outside
with her phone pointed at them. Palna added in the caption,
she waited outside our room for another ten minutes. H Yeah,
you want busy by the neighbors like that, don't you. Well,

(38:32):
this is a return story that was covered a few
episodes back. The thirty eight year old California man who's
been dubbed the butt sniffing bandit online, has again been
arrested for smelling a woman's buttocks. Kali's Karen Crowder was
arrested for the very same crime within less than a month.

(38:56):
He was allegedly caught sniffing a woman at a Walgreens
in according to ABC seven News. CBS News in Fox
eleven also reported store employees called the police, and Crowder
was arrested several hours later. Per ABC seven, he was
in booked into jail a few hours later. Public records
from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department show this and

(39:18):
the serial butt sniffer was previously arrested for the exact
same crime just a few weeks prior, and we had
that story on one of our episodes. Of course, at
that time, police responded to our report of a suspicious
individual loitering in the women's department at Nordsombrack in Burbank.
When officers arrived, Crowder had left the department store. Officers

(39:42):
later spotted him at a nearby Walmart. Using the store's
surveillance system, Officers monitored the suspect as he moved through
various departments, according to the Burbank Police in a press release,
and while in the women's section, the suspect was observed
following a female custom her, crouching near her and engaging

(40:02):
in lude behavior by inappropriately sniffing her buttocks. Crowder was
charged with one camp of loitering with intent to commit
a crime for the incident. They said, his bail at
one hundred thousand dollars. Authorities said Crowder is a registered
sex offender with a documented history of similar arrests for
lude conduct in both Glendale and Burbank dating back to

(40:24):
twenty twenty one. Yeah, okay, so authorities say Crowder is
a registered sex offender with that documented history of similar
arrest for lude conduct in both Glendale and Burbank dating
back to twenty twenty one. What would Freud say about
this man's childhood? Imagine all the things you have to
look out for in retail, you know. Adding now you've

(40:47):
got to put butt sniffers to the list. Can he
just pick up pick a ball or something. I mean,
these courts must have the essence that he's seeking, you know. Well,
there's a fisherman in Florida who caught a six foot
lemon shark while fishing and was bitten by said shark

(41:11):
while posing for a photo with it. It all happened
when he was with his friends on Kyo Costa and
Island near Bocca Grande. He had to be airlifted to
the hospital, but he's gonna be all right. There's a
real that was shared on his Facebook page, Sean Muse.
He's seen holding the top of the shark's mouth when

(41:31):
it jerks out of his hold and bites him before
swimming off into the surf. Here's some of the nine
to one one call and Sean talking about the surprise attack.

Speaker 7 (41:41):
We're out shark fishing on the beach here and one
of the guys I got fitting the wake needs a wake.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
We have a tourniquet on his leg.

Speaker 10 (41:48):
He's got a cow on it trying to prop the bleeding.

Speaker 9 (41:50):
We were taking the hook, and we just finished taking
the hook out of his mouth. We're gonna go release him,
and the shark just turned and bit me. I'd go
back today if I could leave us. It happened sometimes
luckily he only took a little bit on me. I'm
one of the fortunate ones and I'm a shark bike victim.
A lot of good stories now and for the shark
that bit him, he has a message, see you next time.

Speaker 1 (42:12):
The Book of Grind. They Fire department responded to the
call about a shark bike at about ten fifty five
that evening and found the group of men at the
south end of the island. According to Chief C. W.
Blosser in a public service announcement that was shared by
Island TV for Boca Grande, Muse and the group that
he was with had been shark fishing and they were
holding the shark on land when the incident occurred. It

(42:34):
jumped away from mews as they took the pic and
then it turned quickly in the shallow water and bit
his leg. Bousser says the injuries were severe enough that
it required air medical transport, so following the attack, Muse
was scheduled to have surgery on his injured leg told
WBBHTV from his hospital bed, I'm lucky, I'm unlucky or

(42:56):
unlucky at the same time, because you know it was
a few inches away one way. You know it may
not be here now. While Muse told WBBH he doesn't
have a permit for shark fishing, he said that he
wasn't the one who caught the lemon shark a permit
or not. Naturalist Rob Howell was not impressed with what
he saw play out in the video. That shark wanted

(43:17):
to get back into the water as quickly as possible.
Howell told The Island it was in pain and scared.
Not a lot of people give these animals a respect
that they deserve, and I didn't see any respect in
that video. Apparently not no respect, no respect at all.
Was the fifty one year old Florida man who was
arrested after he allegedly fired shots at a department complex

(43:40):
over dog poop. An officer with the Orlando Police Department
responded to shots fired around ten thirty at night to
the Deborah Metro West department complex in Orange County. The
caller told officials that he was in an argument with
the man when he pulled out a gun and pointed

(44:00):
it up toward his heads and fired off a single round.
The caller said the confrontation stemmed from an incident where
he was walking his dog when the man Christiano la
manana I said la maana I guess Lamna? Yeah? Anyway,
Christiano yelled at it from his balcony on the second
floor to pick up his dog poop. The caller told

(44:21):
the mana he would not pick up the dog poop
because it was liquid. I guess he hadn't thought about that. Well,
that's when Lamna became rude and vulgar with his language.
Lamna then told the caller he was going to come
down and make him pick up the poop.

Speaker 7 (44:42):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
This is when official said Lamana shot the gun. The
collar and the dog were not injured. Lamna was arrested
on charges related to aggravated assault. The firearm end is
charging a firearm on residential property. Yeah, how do you
deal with that? You know, if you're carrying around your
little plastic bag. I mean, it's one thing to pick
up the solid stuff, but if your dog's got the

(45:04):
backdoor trots, what do you need to do? Get A
I don't know I'm not even gonna try to even
go there. Well, gambling is growing in popularity, and what
sports betters are betting on is well getting downright stupid. Frankly.
They're now placing odds on games at the Little League

(45:25):
World Series. Yes, it's been offered by at least a
couple of offshore bookmakers. According to the Associated Press, team
managers and Little League itself are not pleased. I'm not
a fan, says the SE manager Dave Bogan, noting egos
to Las Vegas twice a year. It's just not appropriate.

(45:48):
It feels dirty, quite honestly, going in the news. Conferences
throughout the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, US
team managers have voiced their displeasure with gambling on their games,
in which players pp out at twelve years old. Little
League International also released a statement denouncing sports betting on

(46:09):
youth competition. Quote. Little League is a trusted place where
children are learning the fundamentals of the games and all
of the important life lessons that come with having fun,
celebrating teamwork, and playing with integrity. No one should be
exploiting the success and failures of children playing the game
that they love for their own personal game. Now. John Sullivan,
the Community Impact Director of Project Play Initiative of the

(46:33):
Aspen Institute Sports and Society Program, said there are negative
effects on young players whose games are the subject of betting.
Per the AP, Hawaii Little League manager Gerald Ode is
adamant that gambling on these games takes away from the
beauty of Little League. This is the only tournament where
you're representing your local community. It's that innocence, that pureness

(46:57):
that these kids show on the field. Online betting sites
like fan Duel and DraftKings or ESPN bet are not
only are not offering lines on the tournament, but here's
an example of what.

Speaker 11 (47:09):
American gambling sites cannot take bets on the Little League
World Series, but there's an offshore site that does, introducing
draft kids. Sure you can bet on who will win,
but there's so much more wager on the actual age
of the six foot tall pitcher from the Dominican Republic

(47:30):
with the full beard. When a coach screams at his
own son for striking out, put up parlay on whether
his breath smells like Budweiser or Miller Lite, or bet
on which inning the kid who washed down four hot
dogs with free orange gatorades will puke it all up
in the dugout. But it's not just the on field action.

(47:52):
With draft kids, you can gamble on how many racist
comments your uncle will make when.

Speaker 1 (47:57):
China plays Guatemala. Draft Kids.

Speaker 11 (48:01):
This league might be little, but the money you lose
could be big.

Speaker 1 (48:05):
Next thing, you know, they're going to be giving the
Little leaguers the opportunity to you know, be bought and
sold on. Who can enter the new Little League drafts? Geez,
it's getting out of hand. A twenty six year old
I hop waitress sexually harassed by a female customer and

(48:26):
rubbed the fifty one year old woman's breast back an
arm after sitting next her in a restaurant booth, according
to police that arrested the worker for battery. This actually
happened at a Florida I hoop. Yes, a waitress groping
another female customer. Investigators alleged that Ali May Wright, she's

(48:47):
a server at the Florida I Hop, was waiting on
the patron. She began to quote, call the victim a
sense sexy sword rhymes with hunt, and gave her a milkshake.
There was ordered well talk about hitting up on the customers. Right,
cops charge would return to the table and continue to

(49:08):
call her that sexy c word. Right then sat next
to the victim and began to rub the victim on
the back, arms and on the outside of her right breast,
and was seen resting her head on the victim's shoulder.
According to the arrest Affidavid, yes, put your head on
my shoulder. Huh. The victim did not know the defendant

(49:31):
and did not give her permission to touch her, says
the cops, who added that the eight pm incident was
recorded by IHOP security cameras. Wright was arrested for battery
and booked into the county jail on the misdemeanor charge.
Apparently she was wanting more than flapjacks. She was released
on two hundred and fifty dollars bond after spending a

(49:53):
night in custody. In a judge's order, the Saint Petersburg
residents have no contact with a victim. The arrest affidavid
indicate that cops detected an indication of adult of alcohol influence.
Of course, with regard to Right, it's unclear what her
current employment status is at the Saint Pete beach pancake
purveyor hmm, while a thirty seven year old reality star

(50:19):
left viewers horrified when she let a dog lick the
inside of her mouth. I don't really like dogs licking
the outside of my mouth. Vicki Pattison shared a joint
Instagram post with Butternut Box, a pet food company. In
the video part of the brand's new YouTube series Walkies,

(50:42):
Pattison could be seen letting a dog get a little
too close for comfort. She's sitting outdoors, and Pattison was
then joined by her dog's Max Milo, and another woman.
When one of the canines approached the star and started
licking the inside of her mouth, I'm so sorry. Patterson,
who is best known for her appearance in Jeordie Shore

(51:07):
X on the Beach and Judge Jordie, She says yeah,
as the other woman admits the thing is I do
that too. Patterson cheered with excitement and adds, you know,
it makes them happy. She then leaned in for another
kiss from the puppet, and in the comments, many viewers
are shocked by Patterson's actions. What did I just see?

(51:32):
One watcher writes. Another Instagram user comments, can I unsee this?
I love my dogs like my kids, but knew I
couldn't added another viewer, while another couldn't help but make
light of the moment. They write the dogs get better
kisses than me. Others couldn't help but look at the

(51:52):
situation from a health perspective. One said in the comments,
I love dogs, but they can carry dangerous back tery
in their mouths adds my dogs eat each other's poop.
It's a no from me. Well, after seeing the backlash
as she was getting Pattison, who is also a radio
presenter and an author, she reacts, this did not go
down well, she teased in the comment section of the post,

(52:15):
between more critiques being sent her way. Of course, it
didn't go down well unless you're talking about the tongue. Well,
he got caught trying to catch them all, a thirty
four year old Iowa man spending the next four months
in federal prison on a wire fraud conviction, racking up

(52:38):
over one hundred and forty thousand dollars on his company's
credit card for Pokemon cards, gaming items, and other illicit charges.
Mitch William Gross was using the plastic that was issued
by his employer, the Ruined Transportation Corporation, to fund the
personal spending spree that also in included prepaid gift card purchases.

(53:02):
According to the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District
of Iowa, Gross attempted to obscure his crimes by submitting
falsified receipts and mischaracterizing fraudulent charges on his expense report
so they appeared to be legitimate business expenses. Well after prison,
Gross is going to be placed on supervised release for

(53:22):
three years and on the hook for one hundred forty six,
five hundred and ninety dollars and fifteen cents in restitution.
He's got to pay it all. Tell me you have
not learned your lesson without telling me you haven't learned
your lesson. There's a twenty one year old woman in

(53:42):
Washington State named Jasmine Hernandez who was arrested after being
caught speeding clocked at seventy four in a thirty five.
When police asked where she was going in such a hurry,
she had a perfectly good reason. Jasmine said she was
on her way to the courthouse to pay for a
speeding ticket. She wasn't making a joke off the cuff either,

(54:07):
She was actually on her way to pay for a
previous infraction from seventeen days before. Also, Jasmine was hit
with reckless driving because, in addition to speeding, she illegally
drove into the oncoming lane to pass a vehicle. She
also was cited for driving without insurance, oh and operating
a vehicle without a valid license. So that means she's

(54:30):
hopefully going to be off the road for a while.
And police in Montana have arrested a twenty four year
old Bozeman man in Belgrade, Montana, after a witness reported
a blue Toyota being driven approximately one hundred and twenty
miles an hour with two tires missing, traveling along Aye ninety,

(54:52):
just off of the North nineteenth Avenue exit. Gallatin County
Sheriff's deputies responded to the call and found the man
in park off of Airport Road. He was reportedly on
the ground and told the deputies he had about ten
drinks and had taken a xanax.

Speaker 4 (55:08):
Will.

Speaker 1 (55:08):
A preliminary breath test read zero point ninety two, and
authority said he performed poorly on Field's sobriety tests well.
He agreed to a blood draw and was booked into
the Gallatin County detention center without bond. An eyewitness stated
that he was observed He observed the man exiting the
vehicles stumble and then places a black bag in a
nearby trash can. So officers on the scene found that

(55:31):
black bag, which by the way, reportedly contained a mix
of drugs suspected to be MDMA, silo cybin, mushrooms, LSD
and methamphetamine, which explains how he had no idea he
was driving a car with two tires missing. So when
charging documents, the deputy states that a large number of

(55:53):
mushrooms and MDMA pills was consistent with the intention of distribution,
and the Mantilly facing charge us a criminal possession of
dangerous drugs with intent to distribute in driving under the influence,
not to mention just being stupid. Get up close and

the Department of Defense should go back to its old name,
the Department of War. He also pitched a new name
for the White House that he insists he totally came
up with, the death Star Carrig. Doctor Pepper is shaking

(57:51):
up the beverage landscape with an eighteen billion dollar deal
to acquire Amsterdam based Pete's Coffee. Like eight years in
soda school is finally paying off. Of course, I didn't
even realize that Carrig and Doctor Pepper teamed up Where's
My Soda Pads? For the Carrig, Michael Jordan and Bryant

(58:12):
based basketball card was just auctioned off. That's a Kobe
Bryant basketball card for like twelve point nine million dollars,
making it the most expensive sports card ever sold. A
little expensive to go putting on your bike to make
it sal like a Harley. Still not as cool though
as a Larry Bird rookie card, but maybe I'm biased.

(58:36):
A recent study shows roughly sixty percent of parents with
children ages eighteen to thirty four had helped them out
financially in the previous year. Personally, I didn't borrow money
off my parents. The interest rate was really too high.
But what they didn't tell you is the kids who
weren't helped out financially were still doing laundry and mom

(58:56):
and dads. A cargo ship captain was arrested in Seattle
after piloting the ship with a blood alcohol level six
times the legal limit. It's got to be hard to
get a duyat c There's not even any rumble strips.
The ship wasn't the only thing fully loaded on the

(59:18):
high seas Irish rap group Kneecap has canceled their sold
out US tour amidst a terrorism charge in the UK
an Irish rap group. Finally, someone's picking up the torch
from House of Pain. Will Smith is getting blasted for
allegedly using AI to generate footage of a packed stadium

(59:42):
audience to promote his world tour. You know, back in
the day he had a big hit with Willennium. I'm
pretty sure now though he belongs in the Smithsonian, it's
a little suspicious that his opening act is MCGPT. I'd
have to get I'd have to get blasted to listen

(01:00:02):
to his music. Frankly, Snoop Dogg says he's scared to
take his grandkids to the movies after seeing a lesbian
couple portrayed in the Disney movie Light Year. Snoop's idea
of a horror movie, though, is fried Green Tomatoes. Of course,
Snoop has some old man opinions. He's over three hundred

(01:00:23):
in dog years. Pop singer Britney Spears said in an
Instagram post that her third marriage felt like quote a
fake distraction after having no contact with her two sons.
Britney's over forty. Now you know the perfect age to
start over sharing on social media. The first three marriages

(01:00:44):
were just practice. Anyway, I'm sure she'll say oops and
do it again. US Opened descended into chaos when a
photographer absent mindedly walked out onto the court, causing an
interruption and play whoever, mister bean, a press pass needs
to be fired. Tennis players are so whiny, you know,

(01:01:05):
I'm surprised that they didn't shut down the whole arena.
Giant dust storms battered several Southwestern states, leaving people without
power and grounding flights. I guess time to call them
the big guns. Get the CEO of Swifter on the line.
It's got to be so bad that burning man looks
like a scene from Mad Max. But instead of cannibals

(01:01:26):
and cars, it's finance bros and porta potties. And for
the first time ever, scientists in China have transplanted a
pig's lung into a human. Of course, I don't know
that I'd want to pigs lungs in me. How can
I ever enjoy bacon again? Potential side effects include snorting

(01:01:46):
when you sneeze. A recent study shows that young workers
have taken a major hit as many entry level jobs
become automated or replaced by AI. See, yeah, you grew
up with that iPad glued to your hand, and now
it's turned on you. So I guess if you want
to get a job out of college, you're competing with
your peers, illegal immigrants, and now robots. Best of luck.

(01:02:12):
Police arrested fourteen people in California in what officials are
calling the largest organized home depot theft ring in history. Apparently,
if you wear one of those orange aprins you can
basically walk out with whatever you want. Of course, people
are stealing massive amounts from home depot, but nobody works
there that I know, has any idea what planet they're on.

(01:02:35):
A transportation minister in Turkey been given a speeding ticket
after he posted a video of himself done one hundred
and forty miles an hour. Video kind of looks like
when the Millennium Falcon makes the jump to light speed.
This sort of thing might fly on the Autoba, but
not in Turkey, and speeding isn't one of the perks
of the job. I mean, what's the point of being
a transportation minister? A lost painting stolen from a Jewish

(01:03:00):
art dealer by the Nazis has been discovered some eighty
years later in the background of a real estate ad
in Argentina. I guess the price of the property just
went up. I mean, Indiana Jones would probably lead you
to believe all the lost artifacts are hard to find,
but you know, sometimes you just find one just flipping
through a magazine. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry condemned Woody Allen

(01:03:25):
for speaking virtually at a Russian film festival. He's going
to have to cast Zelensky in his next picture if
he wants back on their good side, of course, one
of the many questionable things Woody Allen has done. I
guess this barely makes the top ten. I mean, just
like Woody, his speech was short, shrewd and kind of annoying.
And after two years of dating, Taylor Swift and Travis

(01:03:47):
Kelcey announcing their engagement on social media. So save the postage, guys,
I can't make it. Sorry, I mean getting I've been
getting killed. I guess with weddings this year anyway, I mean,
it's going to be making the Bezos wedding look like
a night at the Chuck E Cheese. You know, WNBA
star Caitlin Clark is Nike's newest signature athlete and will
be getting her own shoe. It's going to have removable

(01:04:10):
high heels too, so you can conduct business on and
off the court. Somewhere, Angel Reese is punching a hole
in the wall. Some people might laugh, but look, I'd
rock some air clarks. You know, scientists have documented a
first of its kind shark with striking orange skin and
ghostly white eyes. I think they're going to call it

(01:04:31):
the Trump Shark, not litterally for Halloween, but maybe sharks
don't keep the Gregorian calendar. A Southwest passenger is suing
the airline, claiming it's free for all seating policy led
to her being attacked by a fellow flyer. It's this
crazy policy, Frankly, I mean, I don't want to have
to fist fight somebody over a window seat. It seems

(01:04:52):
like their policy is fists come, fists served. You know.
A recent study shows young adults are talking very openly
about their finances well dating. That's a shift from the
older generations who you know, found it taboo. These young
folks have to discuss the money on dates. I guess
I mean how else will they know if they can
afford an appetizer, you know, And here's a tip for you, fellas. Yes,

(01:05:14):
you can talk openly about your finances with the potential
romantic partner, just don't bring up crypto. National Guard members
activated as part of President Trump's federal takeover of Washington,
d C Have been spotted picking up trash in the
nation's capital. Trump told the National Guard that if the
garbage resists in any way, they have permission to use

(01:05:34):
deadly force. And a woman in France was fined one
hundred and thirty bucks after her pet cat was deemed
too noisy while on a high speed train. Someone's not
getting any wet food for a while. You'd make a
lot of noise too, I mean, if you were on
your way to get neutered. Frankly, I mean, somebody needs
to explain to this verball that money doesn't grow on

(01:05:56):
cat trees. A newly discovered dinosaur was found in Morocco
is being described as scientists as punk rock due to
its bizarre spikes protruding from its neck. I mean, this
guy makes a triceratops look like a poser. I mean,
I know that they'll give it some nerd name, but
to me that dinosaur is Spikey Ramon Frankly. I mean,

(01:06:17):
I'll bet the dinosaur is probably a bad influence too.
France has formally returned the skull of King Tora, the
ruler that was beheaded by the French troops in eighteen
ninety seven back to Madagascar. You always hear heavy is
the head that wears the crown, but I guess to
hold it as a whole other story. And knowing France,

(01:06:40):
so they'll wait another one hundred years before offering to
return the body. And Jude Law set to play Vadimir
Putin and an upcoming biopic. I guess to help get
into character, he's beigun wrestling bears, going shirtless and rigging elections.
I hope Putin's a fan. Otherwise Jude Law just might
wind up, you know, falling out of a window on
a freak as Martha Stewart has also offered to be

(01:07:03):
Taylor Swift's wedding planner. Well, I guess that takes care
of something old. She still needs something new, borrowed and blue, though,
I mean why not. I mean, someone's gonna have to
have to shoot down Travis when he asks for a
football themed wedding cake, and finally, Philadelphia Phillies Pitcherjesu's Lizardo
was ejected from a recent game against the Mets when

(01:07:24):
he fired off an exptive at the home based umpire
big no, no, Yeah, you know the ump had missed
some calls, but look he definitely caught the F bomb
over home plate. Mm hmm, yeah. I think Maybejesus needs Jesus.

(01:07:51):

talking about surviving in the stupidity that's always around us.

Speaker 1 (01:09:10):
Now this week's Genius wor and in this week's Genius Awards.
A man has been charged with grand larceny for allegedly
stealing railroad track valued at twenty two thousand dollars from
Aberdeen and Rockfish Railroad property in Bennettsville, South Carolina. According
to the Marlborough County Sheriff's Office and a social media post,

(01:09:32):
Walter Tyndale was also charged with trespassing on a railroad track.
Following his arrest, he's being held in the Marlborough County
Detention Center. Bond is going to be set later, but
no information was provided on Tendall's age or place of residence. Now,
the incident actually occurred on the Peedee River Railway. It's
a subsidiary of North Carolina's Aberdeen and Rockfish. The fifteen

(01:09:52):
mile ped operates between Bennetsville and McCall, South Carolina. You know,
I've got so many questions, like, how on on earth
do you actually steal it? I mean, is it heavy?
Do you drag it away? It's Walter Tendellar ghosts. I mean,
does he have a beef with the railroad? How do
you appraise the value of ripped out railroad tracks? I mean,

(01:10:13):
then the second thing is who buys it? I didn't
know there was a dark web for railroad tracks. And
then there's this a sixty nine year old Greenville, Tennessee
man named George Hermann Ruth by the way, which is
the same name as the baseball legend Babe Ruth, has
also been charged with stealing the identities of hundreds of

(01:10:33):
former baseball players and a five hundred and fifty thousand
dollars fraud scheme. Prosecutors alleged Ruth use the names and
social security numbers have retired and deceased players to pose
as a legitimate claimant in class action lawsuits. His operation
began back in twenty twenty three and involved opening multiple

(01:10:53):
post office boxes under his own name and Class Action
Solutions LLC now Ruth Face. This is ninety one federal charges,
including mail fraud, identity theft, and money laundry, and if
he's convicted, he could serve twenty years or more in
prison and pay a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars fine.
He was previously convicted of a social security fraud and

(01:11:14):
was on probation when he allegedly launched this latest scheme.
The identities of the specific player's impact it hasn't been released,
but prosecutors have said that some are retired First Basement
others were deceased catchers who played for the Yankees and
the Browns. Look I got handed to him. I mean,
it's usually a cursed to have a famous name, but look,
he turned it into a criminal business. Now, I just

(01:11:35):
need to know why he's obsessed with First Basement and catchers.
How about this? A sixty five year old Georgia man
thought it was a good idea to order himself door dash.
Didn't greet the delivery drivers completely naked, when they arrived
at his door so much he's accused of doing it
more than once on the same night. It's not that

(01:11:58):
sort of evening most of us would plan for ourselves,
and I seriously doubt that he thought there'd be a
trip to jail involved. But look, we all know even
the best plans can go off the rails, and well
that's what happened here. The third knock on his door
came from police, who'd been called after two female delivery
drivers said they were given a rather unwelcome surprise delivering

(01:12:19):
Frederick Riley's orders. Both delivery drivers claim he answered the
door without any clothes on. One of the women said
that he invited her in, and well she declined the invitation.
Those claims of answering the door nicked seemed to be
validated when a female officer knocked on his door and
yelled door dash. Took a minute for the man to

(01:12:40):
answer the door, but when he did, he was nicked again.
This third alleged greeting in the buff was actually caught
on the officer's body cam, but the bodycam footage wasn't
all the evidence that the police had. Sergeant Chris Ricketson
of the Koetakati Sheriff's Office said one of the drivers
was able to snap a picture of him at the
front door. He was fully naked. Riley eventually evidently believed

(01:13:05):
that you could answer the door however you pleased, and
was rather shocked to find out he was being placed
under arrest. He was charged with indecent exposure for the
two separate door dash delivery greetings. He's now free on
a twelve hundred dollars bond from the Kohetta County Jail.
How bid thordash drivers could tell some really freaky stories. Yeah,

(01:13:25):
you know, gone to the days of the pizza man,
adult movies. You know, time to grow up, sir. Yea
New Georgia man put body back in BODYCM, what about this?
A thirty three year old wanted traveling thief was taken
into custody on Florida's Treasure Coast after deputies found thousands
of dollars worth of stolen jewelry and luxury watches in

(01:13:47):
his car, along with stacks of cash. According to the authorities,
deputies pulled over Marcu Roustus after a theft of a jewelry
store in Stuart, florid According to the Martin County Sheriff's
Office Stuart's about forty five miles north of West Palm Beach.
During the search of the car, the deputies reportedly made
a rather unexpected fine. The Sheriff's office posted on their

(01:14:10):
Facebook page they found more than four hundred thousand dollars
in stolen jewelry, including high end watches of forty thousand dollars,
diamond ring, gold chains, and gold coins at thirty thousand
dollars in cash as well. According to the post, Rosta's
ten year old son was wearing one of the stolen
rolexes valued at more than forty thousand dollars, and his
young daughter was wearing a stolen high end necklace. The

(01:14:32):
stolen jewelry was allegedly found inside the child's stuffed animal. Yeah,
a wonted man driving around with stacks of cash and
stuffed animals full of four hundred thousand dollars worth of
stolen jewelry. That's confidence. Wait, is it really called the
Treasure Coast? You got to check this one out. A
twenty eight year old Lincoln, Nebraska woman was arrested after

(01:14:53):
stealing tires from the store where she worked. According to police,
the owner of Walker Tire near North fifty six the
Street and Arbor Road, reported that well he discovered a
discrepancy in the inventory. Police said the camera footage from
the business showed an employee named Brooklyn Propolik stealing tires
and selling them. She was seen taking thirteen bridgetone tires

(01:15:15):
worth nearly seventy seven hundred dollars over the course of
four days, according to the LPD. When the officers got
to the store, Propelik got into her car drove off.
She was eventually found near Vandorn Park, where she was
arrested on suspicion of felony theft. And so thirteen is
kind of a weird number. Maybe this is another Taylor
Swift Easter egg. I don't know. I guess they didn't

(01:15:36):
tell her where the cameras were yet. And you'll never
believe this. Police and Idaho Springs, Colorado, were conducting a
follow up in investigation into an alleged credit card fraud
case when the thirty three year old suspect they were
speaking with ran from them after getting out of a
mud bath at the Indian Hot Springs. According to the
Idaho Springs Police, an officer was conducting the investigation alongside

(01:16:00):
Claire Creek County deputy when over the contact of the suspect,
Alec Bogus of Aurora, he was getting out of his
mud bath. Police said. Mister Bogus also had a felony
warrant out of Douglas County for assault. Police said Bogus
became uncooperative and was able to run from officers and
he was in his swimsuit and covered in mud and
was heading up the side of a mountain to the

(01:16:20):
east of the hot springs. The ISP said law enforcement
searched the area using a drone looking for Bogus, eventually
finding him in the area of Montane Drive and Divide
View Drive, still covered in mud, trying to hide in
the shed. Mogus was eventually taken into custody. Now faces
churches of assault on the peace officer, burglary, obstruction, and

(01:16:41):
resisting arrest. Bogus was still in custody according to online
jail records. Police said the original credit card fraud case
is now still under investigation. Of course, I love the
headline Bogus wanted for fraud. That does it for me
right there? I mean after that headline, I also left
out quote, followed by drone hiding in a shed still
covered in mud? Okay, one more. A new trend has

(01:17:04):
emerged where parents are spending uppers of twenty grand to
transform their children's college dorms into lavish, instagram worthy spaces.
Consultants and interior designers are cashing out on this viral
dorm goals phenomenon, replacing standard university furniture with plush, color

(01:17:25):
coordinated de cours. Yeah, the average family spends five hundred
and ninety eight dollars on dorm items. According to a
Retail may Not polls, a subset of parents are investing
heavily to create dazzling social media backcrops. As one expert notes,
this is not decorating, this is dorm culture.

Speaker 7 (01:17:44):
Well.

Speaker 1 (01:17:45):
The elaborate makeovers reflect the growing importance of social media presence,
with students seeking to impress their peers. However, some question
whether these curated dorms distract from the core academic purpose
of college. As one comment or marked, if the desks
are gone, where are these kids studying? Yeah? Yeah, nothing
says higher education like twenty thousand dollars. What's throw pillows

(01:18:08):
and zero textbooks? You know? Yeah, forget student loans. The
debt starts with mom hiring a chandelier consultant for your
dorm room. Well, you can spread the stupidity and share
