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.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
It's a great based world stupid.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
I'm insant, 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.
You know, I love shrimp. That's not a whole lot
of seafood that I really don't like. Maybe scallops is

(00:49):
a little difficult sometimes, but I mean, and maybe raw oysters.
I don't mind fried oysters, but shrimp, man, I'll tell you.
I remember going to the Catfish Bar in Arkansas, the
all you can eat catfish. They had the catfish, the
hush puppies, the shrimp, the frog legs. Well, if you're
buying shrimp from Walmart, I don't recommend eating it quite yet.

(01:10):
You probably just, I mean, shouldn't really expect the highest
quality of food at Walmart. But with prices this summer,
I guess you gotta do what you gotta do. But
definitely you might want to pass on the shrimp for
a while. Because the Food and Drug Administration's warning Americans
not to eat, sell, or serve Walmart's Great Value raw
shrimp the frozen shrimp because the possible contamination with sesim

(01:31):
one thirty seven. Maybe you've never heard of that, Well,
it's a radioactive isotope unless you like bluing in the dark.
Radioactive maturity was detected in the shipping containers from Indonesia
at four US ports, and testing on the frozen shrimp
from the distributor also tested positive. The Indonesian company that

(01:52):
produces it as BMS Foods. Now, technically no frozen shrimp
within the US food supply has tested positive, but you know,
due to the likelihood of contamination, the FDA is just
recommending a recall on all the products from those containers. Now,
if you have any, just toss them. If you want
to know if your shrimp is potentially radioactive, well don't

(02:14):
pull out the Geiger counter or just get hold of
the FDA. They have information on a lot of codes.
The packages were on sale in thirteen states, including Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio, Kentucky,
and Pennsylvania. But really, what would happen though, if you
ate radioactive shrimp, I mean, would it be like eating
a radioactive spider. Maybe it would it turn you into

(02:37):
Spider Man. Like so with the superhero powers of a
mini crustacean I don't know, be old. We now have
the inception of shrimp Man.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
After eating radioactive shrimp, he was imbued with the powers
of a tiny crustacean. Now he's cleaning up the streets
like he cleans up the ocean.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
As shrip Man. Don't shrimp Man, those bank robbers are
getting away.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
Peernut, algieber any decomposing manner that thieves left behinved. Shrip
Man omnivorously eats anything.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
Oh no, I left a doggy bag in my car
and now the back seat is covered in dead maggots, head, milk.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Deer, chewant Man is here and no one suspects this.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
Bottom dweller fights crime dwelling bottoms disguised as a mild
mannered proctologist. It's the number one place criminals hide contravant.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Be prying organic matter.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Beware Shripman is there. Oh no, A see those gat
me readventures of shrip Man.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Don't eat me. I'm radio active? Would you like to eat,
maybe some alligator. Maybe you were fishing for some crappie
and gotten reptile. Yeah, and Pennsylvania gators in Pennsylvania. It happened, well,
maybe not at Magnolia Lake in Bucks County. It's known
for fishing and kayaking, but not gators that change from

(04:08):
the North Philadelphia. Angler hooked an unexpected catch. He says.
The hooked onto something and brought it closer, and I
was like, oh no, that's a gator. That's definitely a gator.
It cannot be here, says Ricky Sanchez. He was fishing
from his kayak whenever he spotted the reptile. Sanchez. His
video of the encounter was posted by Township police, quickly

(04:31):
gaining attention, showing a small gator thrashing in the water
before breaking Sanchez's fishing line. Excited, but pretty spooked because
I've never caught an alligator before, he says. Among those
who saw the video was Kyle Asplugg, who runs Jupiter
Alligator in Wildlife Sanctuary in Florida. He's a Bucks County

(04:51):
native here in PA, but he happened to be visiting
in the area and well thought he would pitch himTo help.
So here is the man that caught the gator on
the hook, Ricky along with Kyle.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
Excited, but pretty spooked because I never caught an alligator before.

Speaker 6 (05:05):
If it's only like a half hour away, so I
decided wait until dark when it's easier to catch these animals,
and come down and try for myself. I was able
to get close to it, and then I was able
to secure it and put in the car. Yes, the
animal is definitely not a pet. I have hundreds of
these animals, and I would never consider any of them
my pets.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
As blog said at night, their eyes shine is very
apparent whenever you shine a spotlight on them. With decades
of experience in handling gaiters located the four foot long
American alligator and secured it. County officials there said park
rangers kept the animal overnight before releasing it into as
plus custody. It will eventually be relocated to his sanctuary

(05:46):
in Florida now. Aspoth believes the gator was probably a
pet that became a little too difficult to manage and
was just turned loose into the wild. He said, this
animal is definitely not a pet. I've got hundreds of
these animals, and I would never consider any of them
my pets. Now. While the alligator may have survived the
summer in Pennsylvania, Aspoff noted that probably would not have
made it in the colder temperatures, and the park rangers

(06:10):
think ASPA for capturing the animal and ensuring its care.
The locals, meanwhile, hope future catches at Magnolia Lake are
more limited to fish. Yeah. Well, there was also a
vehicle that happened to have crashed into a police station
with the truck's owner still in the bed. That's according
to the police in Duncanville, Texas. The officers responded to

(06:33):
a vehicle theft in progress about six in the morning
at Southwestmoreland Road and West Ledbetter Drive. According to the
press release, the owner of the truck was in the
bed of the truck while the suspect was driving the
stolen vehicle. According to police, Duncanville officers attempted to stop
the vehicle, but the suspect debated the officers. The stolen
truck was later crashed and the suspect fled the scene

(06:56):
on the foot. Suspect was later stopped by the department's
k The victim in the bed of the drug was
actually ejected when the crash happened and taken to a
local hospital, according to the press release. Now, police didn't
give any more information on the victim's condition. There was
a second victim who was involved in the crash was
also taken to a held a hospital that the condition

(07:16):
of that person was unknown, But the suspect also was
transported to a hospital with injuries from the dog bite,
according to the release. So yeah, maybe he deserved that
dog bite. And I don't know about you, but I'm
pretty fired up about the US of A's two hundred
and fiftieth birthday. It's called the semi quinn Centennial. Can
you say that or can you even spell it? I mean,

(07:37):
I mean, I'm nowhere near as excited that it was. Well,
Long Island local leader though he was so fired up
about America blowing out two hundred and fifty candles. Well,
he's using terms that well definitely don't mean what he
thinks they mean to describe what his country has in
store for that big day. It's in Suffolk County, Long Island.

(07:58):
It involved Executive Ed Romayne. He was announcing what the
country has in store to ring in two hundred and
fifty years of the good old us of A. And well,
unless he misspoke, I'm going to say this celebration would
probably make the founding father's blush. Just check out what
the Suffolk County Executive Ed Romaine said. It's going to

(08:19):
be a gang bang like you have never seen. We've
been to send off the rockets. We're going to enjoy
our independence, thank you. Say what I mean. I'm excited
about America's two fifty, two hundred and fiftieth as well,
but I think it's on a whole different level. Yeah, boy,
oh boy, send off the rockets. Yeah. He goes on

(08:43):
to say, as all those were laughing behind him, one
guy behind him in a powdered wig and a tri
corner hat kind of wrinkled up his nose like he
was standing over and open sewer line. Yeah, we're gonna
enjoy our independence, thank you. All right, So either Ed
miss Spoker, well, let's just say he's been going around
using the term gang bang for anything that's going to

(09:04):
be a good time. Maybe a backyard cookout, Yeah, that's
a gang bang by edge standards, a birthday party at
a little rake, total gang bang. Hm. Hm, drinking beers
and watching football with the fellas. Yep, you better believe
that's a gang bang. Again by the standards put by
Romaine's apparent misunderstanding of the term, I mean, I'd advise

(09:24):
not using that term anymore. Don't google it to find
out why, at least not on a computer that belongs
to your job. Let's just say, if you're looking for
a good time, it sounds like Suffolk County is the
place to be for a semi quincentennial. Okay, well. United
Airlines flight was canceled after a female passenger suffered an

(09:48):
explosive bout of diarrhea and vomiting coming out both ends.
It destroyed the aircraft's tiny bathroom. Writer and actor Megan
Reinerston Reinerson Maybe Yes. She freely admitted she was the
blame for the mid air disaster, revealing she spent an
hour and a half locked in the lavatory during a

(10:11):
flight from Newark to Indianapolis. Reinerston said that the nightmare
started just moments before getting on board or connecting flight.
As she was traveling from Portugal back home. She suddenly
felt the first waves of what she later discovered was
severe food poisoning, something is brewing, something is happening, and

(10:32):
that I am not prepared to deal with, she recalled
in a TikTok video that's now racked up over twenty
million views. Despite her fears, she took her seat and
hoped for the best, but within thirty minutes she was
drenched in sweat, crying and doubled over in pain. Fearing
she'd end up like the infamous Delta passenger that soiled
themselves mid flight, Reinderson made it to the bathroom just

(10:56):
in time for the next twenty minutes. I had more
die area than any human should ever have in their life,
she says, adding that she soon started to vomit as well.
She panicked in the little, tiny, claustrophobic area before she
had the presence of mind to scream for help from
the flight attendants, who gave her bags. The flight crew

(11:17):
allowed her to stay in the bathroom for the entire flight. Yeah,
definitely talk about sequestering. They even got special clearance from
the pilot to allow her to remain there after they landed.
Ryderston said she couldn't make it back to her seat
in her condition anyway, which prompted the flight attendant to
tell her through the door to brace for impact. Once

(11:37):
they were on the ground, she was told the next
flight with that plane had been canceled. A flight attendant
comes over and says, everybody's off the plane. Now go
ahead and take your time and come out when you can.
The next flight has been canceled, says Ryderston. It goes
on to say in the moment, I'm not even thinking
that it's because of me. The flight attendant then told
her that a hazmat team would become to clean up

(12:00):
the mess. Got it, So you canceled that flight because
of me, she says, because you don't know if I
brought something back from Portugal. I am a biohazard. I'm
patient zero. She even had to be put in a
wheelchair when she was ready to disembark because she literally
couldn't walk. She said, they had to wheel me off

(12:20):
this plane. I can't walk. They got to get me
in a wheelchair. They wheeled her to a baggage claim,
where she had to endure the shock stairs of all
the fellow passengers, who undoubtedly knew she was the woman
in the bathroom for the whole flight. Ryderston said her
devastating illness, which persisted days after that horrific flight, came
as a result of eating an undercooked hamburger the night before.

(12:43):
United Airlines confirmed the incident to Metro, saying, our flight
crew is trained to assist customers in situations like this
and helped as much as they could during the flight
and upon arrival in Indianapolis. I'll bet she'll make sure
that hamburger is well done the next time.

Speaker 7 (13:01):
Well.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
A fifty year old man named has installed a train
horn on his roof and he blasts it up to
three times a day, aiming to catch the attention of
the lapd. Gary Boydsen, the so called neighbor from Hell
is his name. He mounted this deafening train horn admit

(13:24):
an ongoing neighbor dispute. Now. Neighbors on a street in
Van nys say they have been enduring these train horn
blasts with no end in sight. Boyds untils ABC seven.
I know it's not fair to my neighbors, absolutely. I mean,
if I were in their shoes, I would complain too.
It's loud, it's disturbing. Boydsen says. He sounds both his

(13:46):
home alarm and a set of three ear splitting train
horns near every nearly every day, sometimes for several minutes
at a time. He says, I need help. I don't
know how else to cry out for it. That's why
I'm setting off the sirens. I'm crying out for help.
And Boydson has not disclosed what the dispute is about,
but neighbors are pretty much fed up. There's signs posted

(14:07):
along across the neighborhood urging residents to call police when
they hear the blasts. One resident who didn't want her
name or used, told the news outlet that police rarely
arrive in time to catch Boydsen in the act. It
makes the windows rumble. She says, he does it, and
then he stops, and by the time the police get
out here forty minutes later, they can't do anything. They've
been out here three days in a row. Other residents

(14:31):
describe the sound as piercing and horrific. The Fox eleven
all of a sudden, you know this nut. First he
turns on his house alarm, then he has that going
on and on and on. Then periodically he has the horn.
Says Debbie. She's a neighbor talking to Fox eleven, and
it's so freaking loud. My brother he works at night,
he goes to bed, so he's trying to sleep and

(14:52):
this idiot's over here. And literally it goes on for
sometimes hours. You'll see him out in the yard at
midnight with a light on his head, working in the
we are cutting the tree in the dark. She adds,
I mean he's a real nut. So far, he's not
received a citation from police because they haven't never come
in time to catch him in the act. Now lap
officers did reportedly tell the neighbors they need to witness

(15:14):
the noise firsthand to issue a citation regarding the location.
We are in talks with the city attorney about options
as well as using other department resources to assist. Now
LAPD's Van Nised division also said that the local news
has got involved and they did talk to the homeowner
and well, here's Gary and his neighbors talking about what's
going on along with the blaring of the train.

Speaker 8 (15:38):
He does this periodically several times during the day. It
only shuts off when the air runs out because it's
blasted by air. Then he turns it back on. It
has a range of three and a half miles. It
is an actual train.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Hall I want justice to be served. I do sincerely
apologize to my neighbors.

Speaker 8 (15:53):
I honestly to God, I'm so sorry to discomfort you
guys in your own homes. I don't know what else
to do.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
I mean, what he's saying, he needs help, But what
kind of help does he? Three cup cars showed up
there or here for about a half hour, and they
all turn around and hopped in their cars and drove away.
Now he admitted he uses he's doing it intentionally. He's
got this personal beef with the police, claiming he's been
arrassed and threatened by a man for years and the
police won't help him. It's the father of an X

(16:20):
you see. He claims the guy once got him fired
from his job and he believes his life could be
in danger. Gary was charged and released, but the noise, well,
the noise should stop. The authorities has seized the train
horn and the burglar alarms from his house, but the
exact charge that he's facing has now not been released.
But no word whether or not he's gotten any resolution
on this guy that he believes is threatening him either,

(16:42):
unless he can find some other way to make noise. Now,
obviously he's definitely you know, uh, drawing attention to himself.
Now there's those others people that draw attention to themselves
because they bring their dog everywhere. Well, okay, if you're
one of those people, that's okay. I mean, just don't

(17:03):
be a butthole about it. There's a forty nine year
old guy in North Carolina who's facing charges for assaulting
a restaurant worker the reason why they wouldn't let him
feed his dog at the table in the restaurant. Gary
Schlower was eating at a Long Horn steakhouse in Wilmington,
and well, he brought his dog along. It's not clear

(17:26):
if he's a service dog or what, but an employee
told him me feeding his dog at the table is
a health code violation, and well he responded by chucking
a plate at their head. Okay, well that's good. He
allegedly started screaming obscenities and insulting him, so they told
him to leave. So he threw a porcelain plate, and
he must have thrown it pretty hard because they ended

(17:48):
up with a fractured skull and needed seven stitches to
close the wound. Now he's facing charges of assault that
inflicted serious injury. Just leave your dog again. Maybe just
leave yourself at home. Maybe cole uber eats or something,
you know. Raccoons have invaded the Klerner household in Merritt Island, Florida,

(18:12):
and they freaked out their cats, causing chaos. Later discovered
all through home surveillance footage. Richard Klerner tells w e
SHTV what they found.

Speaker 7 (18:25):
I think the raccoon did that two or three days ago,
and then they came back with all their buddies. They
were having a party. There was several of them on
the step right there. There were several of them in
the jacuzzi just splashing around. The three of them in
the jacuzzie splashing around, and then looking at the other
videos from the other camera on the side covered porch,

(18:47):
we saw them all coming in and out of the house.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
Raccoons entered and exited their screen porch and ate the
cat food and turned over all the water bowls. He said,
they ate all the cat food that was for our
kiddies and spilled the bowl all over the dining room.
Clerner says his wife counted eight coons. That's right, and
I'm like, that's a lot of coons, he says. Cleriner
was concerned the raccoons could have could have you know,

(19:13):
got rabies. I just thought wild raccoons, and they're in
my home and you don't know where they've been, where
they're from. You got the grandkids in the house. We
got grandkids there and as we call the authorities nine
to one one. The Florida Wildlife Commission tried to reach
out to the Breverck County Animal Services. Cliner mentioned that
his neighbors have also had trouble with coons. When asked
about the kidney doors, Clerner explains, well, that's how they

(19:34):
got in. I do have slides. As soon as I
knew that they were out, I put the slides on
the door and got the cats back in and slept
on the couch where we were sitting to make sure
there were no recurrences. Gotta be you gotta be smarter
than them coons, you know. And then we've got the
South Democratic Party that is calling for a fifty three
year old man by the name of Mullins McLeod to

(19:57):
drop out of the governor's race for twenty twenty SI
after some newly released dash cam video showing him rambling
and making vague threats toward law enforcement and political figures
following a little incident in downtown Charleston, South Carolina, that
ultimately led to his arrest. William Mullins macloud was arrested

(20:18):
after he was found yelling at the top of his
lungs while walking near the battery. He was wearing only
underwear and shoes at the time, according to the report
from the Charleston Police. The video shows McLeod refusing to
identify himself to authorities after being placed in a patrol car,
referring to himself as at separate times as Superman and God.

(20:39):
It doesn't matter, my friend, trust me, I'm the one
of the most just humans to ever walk this soil,
McLeod responds after being asked for his name. Superman sounds good,
he immediately adds. McLeod does eventually identify himself using his
full name, and makes apparent references to his then upcoming
gubernatorial campaign and as he continues to shout, at times incoherently.

(21:03):
As the nearly hour long footage progresses, McLeod appears visibly
agitated as he goes on a profanity ridden rant that
includes both vague and explicit threats toward current and former
South Carolina politicians. Now. Among these mentioned was Republican Attorney
General there Alan Wilson, who announced his bid for governor.
He says, I'm going to kick your f and T,

(21:25):
then seemingly referencing Wilson, and Wilson responded in a statement
saying he wanted to give MacLeod the benefit of the doubt,
while also turning the focus back on his own campaign.
He says, I'm going to give him the benefit of
the doubt and assume that he means it in a
general election, not a street fight. My plan for bull
conservative leadership is spreading in My record of defending President Trump,

(21:47):
parental rights and the rule of law has put a
target on my back. But we're not slowing down. I'm
not done fighting for South Carolina families now. McLeod is
also heard using a racial slur at one point. A
preliminary incident report obtained by WCBD News Too stated that
McLeod's eyes were extremely bloodshot and highly diolated, symptoms, the

(22:09):
officer wrote were typical of an individual under the influence
of a stimulant narcotic. It was not immediately clear whether
McLeod was tested for any substances now. The video shows
McLeod refusing to exit the patrol vehicle when it arrives
at the at the al Canon Detention Center, telling an
officer he would sleep in the back of the seat. No,

(22:29):
I'm not going to I'm not doing it. No, he shouts,
I'm not getting out of this car. It's time to
go to bed. Well, he's forcibly removed and booked into
the jail shortly before one in the morning. Charleston Police
Department declined further comment on the videos release. McLoud is
currently facing misdemeanor charges for disorderly conduct, and messages left
with McLeod's law office, campaign team, and on his cell

(22:51):
phone seeking comment were not returned for obvious reasons. I
guess the Charleston attorney characterized his arrest as unlawful. In
an interview with The Post and Current, you're telling the
outlet that voters would know exactly what happened before the
next year's election. McLeod, who ran unsuccessfully for governor as
a Democrat in twenty ten and served two terms as
Charleston County Democratic Party Chairman, is now trying again for

(23:13):
that office. He launched a campaign casting himself as a
servant leader that wants to root out the cancer of
corruption that he says has infiltrated state government over the
past two decades. Now, he is the first Democrat to
officially enter the race or replace Republican Governor Henry McMaster,
who cannot run because of term limits. Richard's Richard Lynn

(23:34):
state Representative Jermaine Johnson, who launched an exploratory committee, is
also considering jumping in, and Chris Stale Spain, the chairman
of the South Carolina Democratic Party, suggested in a statement
that McLeod just re evaluated his candidacy, saying, after reviewing
the transcript of the dashcam footage from his recent arrest,
it's clear mister McLeod is navigating profound challenges and should

(23:55):
probably focus on his mental and emotional well being instead
of a campaign for governor. We offer compassion and pray
he finds the support he needs. A lot of wild
campaigning going on down Yonder in South Carolina. Well, a
lot was going on also surrounding Pete Davidson for many reasons,

(24:15):
but have you heard about this one. Pete has been
getting a lot of attention. He says that it was
all surrounding his suspected big d energy think ding Dong,
which was made early on in his career and made
him sad and embarrassed now. Back in twenty eighteen, whenever

(24:37):
he was with Ariana Grande, the media speculated he must
have bde big ding Dong energy to be with someone
out of his league, and Ariana basically confirmed it. She
responded to a fan on social media saying that he's
blessed with ten inches. Here he is on a recent podcast, explaining.

Speaker 9 (25:03):
I brought a lot of pop culture into the show,
Like I made it sort of like a tabloidy like
trendy thing unintentionally, and also I was embarrassed by it,
like because I was no one. Now it started to
change a little bit, but no one talked about any

(25:23):
work I was doing. They were just like, oh, that's
the you know stick, and like that hurt so much,
so like and they they saw, I think after like
a year or two, everyone saw how sad I was
about it, embarrassed because like I was never on Instagram,
like you know, flexing that sort of lifestyle at all.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
Well, were you embarrassed by it?

Speaker 5 (25:44):
You was bring in a lot of hot chicken, You
had a tenage penis. Like you know, on paper, that
sounds great, but it's because you know, first of all,
it's Hollywood, everybody. Everyone, everybody's dating everybody. Why are they

(26:09):
focusing on me? It's because it's I'm not you know,
I'm not Gleam Powell handsome. You know, I'm just this
like dude that tells jokes that look that as a
drug addict. So it was like a it was it
was like what it was like what?

Speaker 4 (26:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (26:24):
And it had nothing to do with comedy and like
also like that stuff affects relationships.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Where did that start?

Speaker 9 (26:33):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (26:33):
It was I think it was like the New York
Times or something when I started dating someone that I
guess they considered out of my league, which I think
everyone is out of my league, but you know, uh,
they were like this guy must.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
Have big energy.

Speaker 5 (26:48):
And then and then someone confirmed it, and then it
was just like, I don't remember, they'll figure it out
that Pete.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
Goes on to say, seeing that in trying to move
around and go on dates and just be a young
dude who's trying to figure out who he is, I
don't want to victimize myself in any way because I'm
cool but sexualization of me. If that was a girl,
people would be like, well, there would be a march
for it. I mean, seriously, you're talking about You're talking
about my ding dong all day, and they don't talk

(27:23):
about girls like that professionally. He says it was traumatic
to live through that and have his personal life be
the topic of conversation rather than his career. Okay, well,
all right, should we start maybe making a big stink
about talking about a guy's ding dong? We do it
all the time on this podcast. Well, there's a thirty

(27:45):
five year old Florida woman who was accused of firing
a gun during a fight at a waffle house in
southwest Florida. Call Your Caddy. Sheriff's office was called to
the waffle house on Dudley Drive just before three in
the morning, according to a report from NBC affiliate WBBH.
Monicia Fletcher of Fort Myers was accused of pulling a

(28:08):
gun out during a fight and pointing at at multiple people.
While trying to hand it off to another woman, she
dropped the gun and accidentally pulled the trigger while picking
it up off the floor, according to the Sheriff's office.
While the responding deputy was speaking to another person, he
said he heard a gunshot go off. The deputy looked
in the direction of the gunfire and said he saw
Fletcher with a gun in her hand while a man
was wrestling the firearm away from her. Fletcher then dropped

(28:31):
the gun and it was kicked toward the deputy. Nobody
was hit or injured by the gun shot, but according
to the CCSO report, the incident was witnessed by multiple
people and captured on surveillance. The Fletcher was placed under
arrest and then, after being cleared by EMS, was taken
to the Naples Jail Center. And she's facing charges of
improper exhibit of a firearm and obviously disorderly conduct. And

(28:52):
while we're on that topic, a thirty four year old
North Carolina mother allegedly opened fire when her son got
into a fight at a back door school event, sending
the terrified kids running for their lives outside and into traffic.
According to the reports, Sharez Davis pulled out her Taris
six handgun and fired multiple shots in the air after

(29:13):
an altercation between her son and another boy escalated when
another adult stepped in. According to court record seen by WBTV, now.
The mom then calmly to put her gun back into
her backpack and walked away. According to documents, the shooting
sparked a panic at the back to School fair at
a medical facility in West Charlotte, where students were getting

(29:35):
vaccinations and physicals and free school supplies. Some of the
over one hundred attendees, including children, ran out into oncoming
traffic on the busy main road adjacent to the farewell.
Responding police officers were mistaken for Ice agents on a raid.
Debra Weeks, the CEO of the medical facility, was talking
to the Charlotte Observer. The members of the Charlotte Metropolitan

(29:56):
Police had been on hand for that event, but had
left just before the shooting started. I think if the
presence had still been there, I don't think she would
have been as free to respond that way, says we Swapped,
praising police for their quick response. Davis allegedly admitted to
firing the gun and apologized to the attendees before she
was led away by the cops. Week said they gave

(30:19):
her the mic she had to say, she's no longer
welcome on the property, and all she could say was
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Witnesses described the alleged shooter as
the woman matching Davis's appearance with braids, black shirt, jeans,
and crocs and well Police quickly found the mom and
detained her. Fortunately, there were no injuries. Davis's firearm was
retrieved and collected as evidence. She's charged with carrying a

(30:42):
concealed weapon and going armed to the terror, and going
arm to the terror of the people. Being held in
the Mecklenburg Jail on fifty thousand dollars bond. Oh and
there's a third woman, a fifty three year old Utah
woman who was arrested after police said she tried to
shoot herself phone. The woman was booked into the Utah

(31:02):
County Jail on suspicion of illegal discharge of a firearm.
The investigation began about nine at night when an Aurum
resident called police there to report a bullet hole in
his fence. The resident had originally called police after hearing
what sounded like a gunshot and a man and a
woman arguing in a neighboring backyard. According to the police
booking affidavit, police were called but were initially unable to

(31:26):
determine the source of the noise. The owner of the
property located the bullet hole on his fence and determined
that the neighbors had discharged a firearm, which resulted in
a bullet coming through the fence, says the affidavit. When
officers questioned the neighbor, he said his girlfriend on that
night was drunk and was angry about her phone. She
and the mail got into an argument and she grabbed

(31:48):
the mail's revolver from under his bed went upstairs, yelling
that she was going to shoot her phone, so the affidavid.
Moments later, the man said he heard a gunshot from
his backyard. He went outside and the girl friend gave
him the revolver and told him that she was going
She was trying to shoot her phone and it did not.
She didn't explain anything further. Now. When officers questioned the girlfriend,

(32:09):
she claimed the shooting was an accident, but would not
elaborate on the circumstances that led to the shooting and
said that she didn't want to talk with me anymore.
The woman was then booked into jail, and no word
whether or not her phone behaved any different. I don't know,
but yeah, well, there was a screaming woman that exploded

(32:31):
at a dog walker for having pure bread pets instead
of adopting pets. Video of this woman's unhinged rant at
the Mount Tabor dog Park in Portland, Oregon swept social media.
The confrontation appeared to begin with a woman approaching a
man and branding him as an unethical piece of doodoo,

(32:53):
before branding him a Trump supporter. He kills dogs because
he has to have his bread dogs, she says, which
the confused dog walker responded me, yes, you you bought
those dogs, didn't you. You didn't save their lives. You
don't care. You don't care about anyone except yourself. So

(33:14):
the man's trying to explain his dogs were a mother
and a puppy. The woman escalated her tirade and began
screaming about how the dog walker she approached won't leave
me alone, now speaking to the empty forest, Then she yells,
help me, help me. This guy won't leave me alone,
Please help me. I didn't say anything. Well. The stunned

(33:34):
dog walker questioned if the woman was having a mental breakdown,
repeatedly asking her who are you talking to. The bizarre
confrontation continued as the dog walker told a woman she
needs medication while she raised her voice and then branded
him a racist. It's unclear what he had said that
she determined to be racist, but later in the clip

(33:56):
even accused her of being the one who said something discriminatory.
So as he tries to move down the hiking trail
away from her, the woman follows him, repeatedly telling him
to go that way down the path. When she ran
up to him, he warned her if you touch me,
I will knock you out. The woman then pulled out
her phone and carried on with her deranged rant. Look

(34:19):
at this guy, Look at his bread dogs. Look at
what an unethical piece of them do do this guy
is he has to have bread dogs because he has
a small penis Well, he responds, thank you. I always
see these Karen videos and I never thought i'd get
a good one myself. Later in the clip, the woman
accuses the dog walker of being a Trump supporter, before

(34:41):
bizarrely threatening to call Ice on him. Well. The tirade
ended with a man walking down the path to warn
other walkers of the woman's antics, as she could be
heard screaming through the forest above his dogs. Well. The
clip quickly went viral on circular social media, leading viewers
probably just as stunned as the dog walker at the
woman's craze behavior, but only where else but in Portland, Oregon.

(35:07):
Well Police say that a thirty seven year old Vinton,
Louisiana man is facing multiple charges after allegedly hijacking a
construction crane and triggering several crashes on I ten. Troopers
said Matthew Vincent unlawfully entered the crane about five thirty
in the morning while it was parked in a work
zone near Route one oh eight. Detective said that he
manipulated the boom over the westbound lanes, causing multiple vehicles

(35:31):
to strike crane cables. Officials said at least four crashes occurred,
leaving two people injured, damaging the crane, enforcing a lengthy
interstate closure. The investigator said Vincent had earlier abandoned his
truck in a nearby field before climbing into the crane.
He was arrested and booked into the Kalisaw Correctional Center

(35:52):
on one count each of simple burgulary, aggravated obstruction of
a highway, criminal mischief, and a pedestrian on the end
two counts of negligent injuring five counts of hit and
run driving, with troopers say the investigation being active. They're
looking into whether an accomplice might have been involved, so obviously,
if you know anything about it, you should contact the

(36:14):
Louisiana State Police. Well, it was supposed to be a
simple first daid in Manhattan's West Village, but a twenty
five year old TikToker named Caitlin immediately felt a little
off the moment she walked in. Instead of a one
on one at Checky's, she found her date flank by

(36:36):
six of his guy friends and two of his interns.
Even after moving them away, the night only worsened. He
seemed determined to flaunt his age, so when Caitlin mentioned
she was twenty five, he said he felt relieved twenty
one and twenty two year olds couldn't keep up intellectually,
while thirty year olds were too desperate. He bragged about

(36:59):
his company celebrity photos, turning the evening into a rather
awkward flex. Ready to leave, Caitlyn declined his invitation to
an art gallery bar next door. Well, he took it
personally and said he'd only order her an uber if
she wanted. Reluctantly, she followed and rejoined his circle of
older friends. Well, the day abruptly ended when the talk

(37:22):
turned to exclusive celebrity event at the Chez Margo. As
he arrived. As he arranged a car, Caitlyn overheard a
friend asked, did you get rid of that girl? Let's
go to Chez Margo all While she stood awkwardly outside,
she caught his gaze and thought of that spider man
me moment and got into her ride. Done and out. Yeah,

(37:46):
definitely a bizarre night for her. HM. Well, here's something
you can put in your to do list. A twenty
three year old California woman tried to smuggle more than
a million dollars worth a c cocaine in a gigantic
wheel of parmesan cheese into the UK. Oh Wheelie Jamie

(38:09):
Troy aroused the suspicions of the UK Border Force agents
when she arrived at Heathrow Airport on a flight from
Brazil with a seventeen pound wheel of Peruvian parmesan. The
crack stashed inside the cheese wheel was ninety four percent
pure according to the forensic analysis. They say that we've

(38:31):
seen people try to smuggle cocaine into the UK hidden
inside of all manner of innoculous looking items, but Border
Force and the National Crime Agency are well practiced in
finding drugs, whatever the disguise. According to an NCAA senior
officer named Barry Venali, who talks to the news outlet.
In the days before she arrived at he throw, Choi

(38:51):
traveled from La to Lima or Lima, Peru, then to
as Sunsion, Paraguay, then South Hollow, Brazil. A notebook found
in Choi's bag contained a single handwritten note quote, I
dropped out of the University of California, Santa Barbara. Currently
I'm in Paraguay and South America solo, traveling for the

(39:13):
first time. It's been amazing so far. Choi guilty to
charges of important Class A drugs and was sentenced to
five years three months in prison. So much for that vacation.
Chinese scientists are working on something straight out of science fiction,
robots that could one day carry and give birth to

(39:35):
human babies. Their plan is to build humanoid robots equipped
with artificial wombs, as these were machines that could nourish
a baby for nine to ten months, just like a
normal pregnancy. Nutrients would be delivered through a special tube.
When the time comes, the robot would even be able
to give birth. The technology for artificial wombs already exist,

(39:59):
but putting it in inside a robot brings some big challenges,
from fertilization and implementation to figuring out exactly how a
mechanical body would deliver a baby. Even so, a working
prototype could be ready within a year with an estimated
price tag of fourteen thousand dollars, which is actually far

(40:21):
cheaper than human surrogacy. The idea obviously has sparked a
huge debate. Supporters see it as a breakthrough that could
help couples struggling with infertility. Critics worry about the ethical
and legal questions. Meanwhile, the World Humanoid Robot Games were
held in Beijing. Base showcased AI powered robots for various countries,

(40:42):
competing in sports like kickboxing, track, soccer, and dance. The
opening ceremony, where a robot experienced a mishap while attempting
to light the game's torch, also happened. About five hundred
robots from sixteen nations like Japan, the US, Germany participated
in about twenty six events, and during the fifteen hundred
meters race, one robot was disqualified when its head detached

(41:07):
mid stride. That could be a problem. Another incident occurred
during a human soccer match when a robot tripped and
caused multiple mechanical players to fall over, necessitating some human assistance.
I think we're still a ways away from robots being
fully human. We'll see.

Speaker 10 (41:27):
Well.

Speaker 1 (41:27):
Heading back to school now is a stressful time, I'm
sure for kids and for teachers. Middle school teacher in
spring Hill, Florida, is facing some challenges. He apparently got
drunk between classes crashed his car into a fence in
the school's parking a lot. By the way, spring Hill
is about forty miles roll with of Tampa. A campus
police officer found the thirty two year old English teacher

(41:48):
passed out drunk behind the wheel with his car still
in gear. Happened about eleven forty five in the morning
day drinking already on the second day of school. They
thought it was some kind of a medical issue, but
then they saw a whole bunch of single serving alcohol
bottles in his car in the car next to him well.
He refused to have his blood tested at the hospital,
but a cop noted he's smelled like alcohol. The cops

(42:11):
posted about it on Facebook and several people have comments
saying that, well, they were kind of shocked because he's
really an excellent teacher. They charged him with duy and well,
by the way, he had a duy several years ago
as well. And you may have heard of these labuoboo
dolls that are suddenly the craze. I know, we've talked
about it before with my insane Florida nephew, Pachaquero. But

(42:33):
now a Christian group has launched a fundraising campaign to
purchase and destroy the Labooboo doll. They have labeled it
the Alpha Demon Satan. The group's social media post features
a flyer advertising a website called le Booboo is Satan.
It compares the dolls to the Mesopotamian demon Pazuzu, the

(42:57):
king of the demons of the wind. The site urges
supporters to burn the doll cast out the spirit. The
group aims to raise one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
so they can buy and destroy the four foot tall
mint green Laboo Boo doll that's sold for that amount
of the Beijing auction. It's unclear how much the group
is raised up to this point or if they even

(43:19):
are going to be able to buy the doll, but
they include links for those looking to make a donation
and cash or crypto. The Labooo dolls, you know, seen
a big surgeon popularity, leading to theft and resell for profit.
That's even led to a rise of the fake laboo
boo dolls that are flooding the market. Of course, I
guess it's the last thing that you want your kid
to be seen with at school, too. Write a fake

(43:40):
la boo boo.

Speaker 4 (43:42):
I thought I thought that la boo boom, But I
made a boo boo and gotta la foo boo.

Speaker 8 (43:49):
It's a counter.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
If it can't be.

Speaker 4 (43:52):
I use it as a key chain. It looks like
the real thing, but it you get close, you can tell.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
It's not man fake la.

Speaker 4 (44:01):
Boo cheap blah booboo hi war.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
Thinking that it was cool got people left icabad hicabad.

Speaker 4 (44:14):
Well.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has reviewed plans to convert the
inactive Baker Correctional Institution near Jacksonville, the home of my
insane Florida nephew Panchaguero, into a new immigration detention facility.
We've talked about this before they're going to call it
Deportation Depot. It'll hold thirteen hundred people initially, with possible

(44:34):
expansion of up to two thousand beds. The move follows
the controversial opening of Alligator Alcatraz, the detention camp in
the Evergrades following environmental lawsuits and courtroom delays. With construction
paused there. The Bakers site offers faster set up using
existing infrastructure. Estimated cost six million bucks. The new facility

(44:56):
is far less expensive and quicker to deploy than the
Everglades Center. It's a proximity to Lake City Airport makes
deportation logistics easier. Governor Desanta's promises it will offer similar
services meals and medical care, legal and clergy access as
the other site. This expansion underscores Florida's deepening role in
immigration enforcement, echoing Trump era policy priorities. Environmentalists and civil

(45:20):
rights active advocates continue challenging the Alligator Alcatraz over its
ecological impact and conditions for detainees. So we'll see if
Deportation Depot has any better luck. Maybe we'll have some
visitors show up at Poncho's house sometime, get up close

executive order to eliminate mail in voting before the twenty
twenty six nd terms, of course, we should get rid
of mail in voting. I mean, it's twenty twenty five,
we should be voting by email. MSNBC is rebranding as

(47:18):
MS now, part of their move as they part ways
with NBC Universal potential slogan, I guess it's my MSNBC
and I want MS now Now, even fewer people will
watch it. According to a new research from Brazil, adults
who say they remember memories from a past life report

(47:39):
usually on unusually higher levels of mental health disorders. I
don't think they needed to do research for this, frankly,
but at least they're being thorough. I guess. I mean,
I can barely remember what happened to me yesterday. I
would forget what happened to me in my past life.
An Italian Olympic swimmer took to social media to criticize
a pizzeria in her home town after they charged her

(48:01):
for removing toppings. You know, with everything going on in
the world today, it's nice to see an athlete taking
a stand against something so important. I mean, I know
Italians don't think much of American pizza, but this sort
of thing ain't happening at Domino's. Ben Stiller announced he's
leaving Severance, saying, with his sixtieth birthday approaching, time is valuable.

(48:24):
Fingers crossed, we get a sequel to Dodgeball before his
knees give out. I mean, with this little fucker's all
grown up, he's got to pick and choose his projects.

Speaker 4 (48:33):
You know.

Speaker 1 (48:34):
Actress Catherine Zada Jones doesn't think owning four homes in
three different countries is excessive. Just comfortable. Okay. If that's
the scale, consider me very very very uncomfortable. Her husband,
Michael Douglas may have a different opinion. ESPN and Spike
Lee have canceled the much anticipated docu series about Colin Kapernic.

(48:58):
Let's be honest, but if they didn't cancel it, Trump
would have probably pulled the plug on it. It's being
replaced by an investigative documentary on Michelle Obama's biceps. Another
new painting of President Trump has him looking particularly orange,
and it will soon be hung in the White House
with more to come. This guy's got more paintings of
himself than Liberaci. Trump is the same color as the

(49:21):
Statue of Liberty before the copper oxidized. I mean, I
believe the exact shade is called spray Tan Bronze. New
college graduates entering the workforce or facing the most hostile
job market since the nineteen eighties. So Mom, Dad, get
the basement ready because someone's coming home. Well, here's a

(49:42):
tip for the young bucks when it comes to job interviews.
Try not to look like David Byrne in his giant suit.
A new study suggests that French fries may raise your
risk of developing type two diabetes. I'm guessing dipping them
in a when these frosty isn't helping either. An army

(50:03):
veteran an oyster farmer has entered Mains Democratic Party and
hopes to unseat the current Republican senator. I wonder what's similar, slimeyer,
a farmer farming oysters or politics, Well, politics oyster farming.
I mean, it all shucks. A new study from the
Census Bureau shows fewer young people are reaching adulthood milestones

(50:26):
like you know, getting married and having kids. You know,
years ago there was a TV show on Fox called
Married with Children. Wasn't exactly a glowing endorsement. I mean
the new adult milestones are different though, I mean, like
finally getting down to one room made or having a
bedtime bed frame. Even President Trump joked he hopes his
peace talks between Russian and Ukraine would get him into heaven.

(50:48):
I don't know if Trump is going to heaven or not.
I mean, all I know is that some people think
that every time he talks it, you know, says anything
to them, it kind of feels like more like purgatory.
I thought the Nobel probably seemed unlikely, but Trump is
always raising the bar. The three part document series fit
for TV, The Reality of the Biggest Loser is the

(51:09):
top show streaming on Netflix. Of course, I don't think
I could handle watching this subject. Matters is too heavy.
And the bbceriously pulled a documentary about the len Ozzie Osborne.
It can be rescheduled as per the family's wishes. Geez,
I mean a documentary already. I mean, the guy's barely
checked into the gates of hell. Give it a minute.

(51:29):
Legendary Who guitarist Pete Townsend says that at eighty years old,
he still has years of work left. Of course, at
that age it's mostly blood work, but he's not wrong.
And the blooming romance between Canada's former Prime minister Justin
Trudeau and pop star Katie Perry has a fizzled. Trudeau
probably saw the concert footage of Perry swinging a lightsaber

(51:52):
around and said, I'm good. Yeah, not right before cuffing season. Yeah.
UK Ambassador Pete Andelson is lobbying for the Super Bowl
to be played in Britain. Of course, I wonder what
a British football team might be called. You know, maybe
the Coventry Crumpets. Texas would basically invade England before allowing
this to happen. An industry insider say McDonald's will be

(52:15):
cutting the price of eight combo mules at least by
fifteen percent. McDonald's really is the Rocky Balboa of fast
food franchises, just refuses to stay down, you know. Industry
insiders huh, sounds like top nuts journalism. Of course, I
wonder where their source is. Maybe the Hamburglar. And according

(52:35):
to a recent survey, seventy four thousand dollars a year
is the perfect salary for Americans. And for most Americans
it's like they always say, you know, perfection is unattainable.
It really makes no sense to me. I mean, why
would just seventy five thousand dollars be a little more
than perfect. Maybe you know, instead of making seventy four thousand,
I'll make seventy five thousand and be a little more

(52:57):
than perfect. I don't know, never gonna happen for me.
A former world champion boxer Julio says our Chavez Junior
has been deported from the US and that place on
a Mexican prison due to involvement with that cartel. You've
been hearing a lot about him, and of course, you
know how they say on your first day of prison,
you know you should fight someone. I don't think this
guy has to talking. Its front man, David Byrne, has

(53:20):
revealed that he's engaged at the age of seventy three.
This is another engagement for the man. This time it's
to a fifty five year old business woman. They've been
dating for about ten years, so hopefully that's long enough
to know she's not a psycho killer. A Texas company
is building drones meant to be stored in schools and
deployed to stop shootings in under a minute. Look, can

(53:42):
we just cut to the chase and get a RoboCop
in every school? I mean, it's only a matter of time.
Before drones are chasing down students demanding in a robot voice,
do you have a hall pass? A new class action
lawsuit against United and Delta Airlines claims the airlines sold
windows seats without windows, so people just love to have

(54:03):
the window seat, you know. I mean, I've never heard
anyone yet so excited over a wall seat. Frankly, I mean,
I don't care if the window was there or not,
as long as all the windows and doors stay closed
during the flight. Judge Frank Caprio, who rose to fame
on social media for his compassion and folksy humor in
the courtroom, has passed away at the age of eighty eight.
So rest in peace to the mister rogers of the

(54:26):
judicial system. A new study shows while getting ghosted and
being rejected both hurt, the negative effects of ghosting were
often longer lasting. Now I'll say this from experience. If
you think that you're getting ghosted, do not text them
six hundred times. It will not help. I wish people
would just get comfortable with rejection. I mean, I don't

(54:47):
know why we have to bring the occult into this.
President Trump says he's not only deploying federal troops in DC,
but he was going to patrol the streets himself with
police in the military. And I cannot wait to see
a picture of President Trump and riot gear one day
at Alligator Alcatraz. Some kids gonna be like, no, I
swear I got picked up by Donald Trump himself, and

(55:09):
no one's gonna believe him. Offshore bookmakers are accommodating bets
for the Little League World Series. Of course, if you
have any insight info, like maybe you know Timmy at
second Base has a tummy ache, it might be a
good time to put some money down. Of course, I'm
already in for six bags. It's ower patch kids in
a case of you who if I can't cover, they'll

(55:29):
pull my sugar tooth. Netflix is launching an astrology hub,
where movies and shows will be suggested based on your
zodiac sign. Now, I guess when you boot up Netflix,
it just hits you. What's your name? What's your sign?
Log in? Often finally, a streaming service for the annoying
white woman in your life. Kevin Bacon gifted his wife

(55:54):
too many cows named Tater and Todd for her birthday.
I know the first thing that my lady would say,
Oh okay, but who's gonna wake up at six and
every morning in milk? Them seems like more of a
dowry than a birthday gift. Maybybe I'm just out of touch.
And Lil Nassas was hospitalized possible o D. He was

(56:16):
found walking the streets of La on Sunset Boulevard in
his whitey tidies and white cowboy boots. You do that
in New York City, people just think that you're the
naked cowboy. Apparently he lost his horse and couldn't find
his way back to Old Town Road. San Francisco Giants
outfielder Jung Huli made an incredible catch against the Tampa

(56:36):
Bay Rays that saw the ball roll out of his
glove before he caught it between his knees. Of course,
if that doesn't make you gung ho for Jung who,
I don't know what will. Officials discovered and dismantled a sprawling,
hidden marijuana growing operation inside of Sequoia National Park. The
park is going to be renamed Sativa National Park. Yeah,

(56:58):
officials haven't made any arrest yet, but if I were
a smoky bear, I'd be on the run. The Washington
Post reports President Trump's plan to deploy troops to Chicago
has already been in the works for weeks. Of course,
it won't end until the teachers and students and crossing
guards are all armed and President Trump plans to quell
gun violence by bringing in hundreds of men with guns.

(57:18):
Of course, I foresee no problems there. Recent studies show
that the microplastics had come off of tires wind up
in waterways and ultimately poison the fish. So the next
time you go to peel out and burn rubber, think
of that fish. Many funeral homes of the US are
now offering water cremation. It's a new eco friendly burial option.

(57:42):
Of course, if I'm dead, I don't care about eco friendly.
In fact, if somebody brings up my carbon footprint to
my funeral, kick them out. Regular cremation has you, you know,
sifting through the sands of time. Water cremation has you
slashing through eternity. Say a Milwaukee woman fury is over
a failed door dash delivery, followed the driver home and

(58:04):
attacked her car with a tire iron. This is the
definition of hangary. I mean, he'll have no fury like
a woman denied or chicken wings. The use of plastic
bags in Britain is on the rise for the first
time in a decade due to online shopping. Well then
what have they been picking up their dog poop with anyway? Huh?

(58:25):
I mean Britain is so cute. I mean we're over
here worried about gun violence and racism. They're worried about
using too many plastic bags. While speaking at the Edinburgh
TV Festival in the UK, Tina Fey assured comedians at
Artificial Intelligence isn't funny yet. Of course, I don't know
if you've seen European comedy, but it's also isn't funny
yet either. Be careful though, that's how you get on

(58:47):
the AI hit list. Tina seth Rogen says fans often
ask him to smoke weed with him, and sometimes he'll
even take a couple of hits. Of course, if he's
a real gentleman, he'll throw five on it first, as
opposed to the people who ask Joe Rogan to smoke wheed.
Those guys usually wind up in a headlock from security.
When I ask about the possibility of playing seven Atri,

(59:09):
Glen powellquips, so Texan should not play James Bond. It's
like they won't let anybody portray something they're not nowadays. Nowadays,
you know that might require acting. Yeah, amen, come on,
you just admit you just can't do a British accent.
And finally, California girls high school volleyball team has had
two more games forfeited to them as controversy continues over

(59:33):
the transgender athlete on its roster. Look, transgender are not.
This team's going to get forfeited all the way to
a championship. And now the girls basketball coach has been
hanging around trying to recruit her great's You know, I'm

Lane, I'm uneath this genius.

Speaker 1 (01:01:11):
I'm simply a humans.

Speaker 6 (01:01:13):
Think at kevenan Thing said.

Speaker 1 (01:01:15):
Now this week's Genius Awarded and this week's Genius Awards.
A drunk British couple was arrested and hauled away by
police in Alacande, Spain, after boasting to a packed easy
Jet plane they were joining the Mile High club. Minutes later,
loud noises were heard from the toilets belonging to the

(01:01:35):
intoxicated Brits. According to the local reports, a cabin crew
member tried to frantically coax the couple, in their thirties
out of the cubicle while horrified passengers, which included families
with children, looked on in disbelief. All passengers on board
the flight board bound for Alacande from Lunton Airport, said
that it was clear from the sounds coming from the

(01:01:57):
toilets that the couple were for filling their crude announcement.
Onboard travelers reported that the couple had been hitting the
drink heavy before taking off. The couple demanded more alcohol
from a female member of the cabin crew, who insisted
they suggest coffee, to which the woman screamed, I'm not
having coffee. The female passenger then said she was going

(01:02:21):
to be sick and rushed to the toilet, shouting for
her male partner to join her, which he did, and
then the shocking incident began. She continued, I was right nearby,
but most passengers could hear it, and it was awful
in front of so many kids. Steward has reported their
X rated behavior to the captain, who radioed authorities at

(01:02:43):
the Alecante Elshi Airport organize a Guardia Sibyl to meet
them upon arrival. An easy Jet spokesperson said, we can
confirm that flight Easy why two three one seven from
Luton to Alecante was met by police upon landing in
Alicante due to some passengers behaving disruptively on board. Yes,

(01:03:04):
it's not the worst sound you can hear coming out
of an airplane bathroom, but it's up there. I mean,
this is corny. I mean, what rent a helicopter? People
are trying to parent on planes. You gotta love the
fight attendant suggesting coffee though to the drunk pair, although
that also won't keep them out of the restroom. And
then there's this. Police in Pennsylvania have arrested two kids,

(01:03:28):
ages twelve and fourteen, on charges of breaking into a
business in Westmoreland County and stealing over seventeen hundred dollars
worth of vapes, according to the Westmoreland County DA's Office.
Pennsylvania State Police troopers responded to the Choice Tobacco Island
and Food Mart at the Snoco gas station on Rout
two seventeen in Dairy Township, please send two juveniles to
a rock through the front door, shattering the glass and

(01:03:49):
once inside, police said, the twelve and fourteen year oi
moved ras vapes and fled the store. Troopers estimate that
they stole about seventeen hundred and fifty dollars with the merchandise.
Both juveniles, who's now as were not released by authorities,
are facing burglary and theft related charges. It's the latest
time that burglars have targeted a business selling vapes in

(01:04:09):
the Pittsburgh area this summer. Just some kids throwing rocks
in the summer, right, I mean, what happened to the
days of nice summer job like running the concession stand
at the pool. You know, you all shake your heads,
I know, but someday they're going to own a gas
station and you'll see their entrepreneurial spirit was well intended.
Or how about this one? Charges of unauthorised use of

(01:04:31):
a vehicle was filed against three Texas teens after allegedly
taking a Pleasant Grove Independent School District bus for a
joyer drive. The suspects were identified as eighteen year old
Matthew Lacey, seventeen year old Trip Wilson, and seventeen year
old Brooks Willets. According to the Texar Canada Police Department,
Willett and Wilson were arrested earlier. Lacey was picked up

(01:04:51):
shortly afterwards. All are free after posting bail. Willets bail
was set at twenty five thousand, bail for Wilson and
Lacey at twenty thousand, according to jail records. A charge
of an authorized use of a vehicle was filed against
Wilson and Bowie County the two hundred and second District Court.
According to court documents, he's represented by the Bowie County
Public Defender's Office, and charges against Lacy and Will have

(01:05:11):
not yet been filed as of this recording. About four
point thirty in the morning, the TTPDS received a nine
to one one call about a Pleasant Grove school bus
driving down Richmond Road. Officer Derrick Bowers met the bus
himself just a couple of minutes after the call. Bowers
turned around to stop the bus, but found that it
had already rolled into a tree, while the suspects bailed

(01:05:32):
out into the dark. According to the police, after the bus,
which was returned to school, police and administrator's reviewed bus
camera footage identifying the three teens inside. The footage shows
the teens entering the bus about two or four to
twenty five in the morning with their shirts wrapped around
their heads. According to the call, probable cause Affidavid, the
cameras do have audio, and the teens used each other's names.

(01:05:54):
According to the AFFI David, all three took turns driving
the bus and bailed out when they saw Bowers pass them.
The bus was left to roll down the road. According
to the Affadavid, Yeah, caught on camera with audio, using
each other's names, you know, with this kind of smart
so I'm surprised they knew what a school bus was.
Checking out the mugshots, seems like they took the bus

(01:06:16):
for more than a joyless ride. I mean, I'd like
to hear the nine one one call. I think dumb
and dumber and dumbest just drove by me in a
school bus and what about this? Police arrested a thirty
five year old Florida woman after an investigation reveal she
had been performing dental procedures without a license. Detectives began

(01:06:36):
investigating after several victims reported medical complications from dental work
performed by Emily Martinez. Victims also stated she refused to
repair the work or provide refunds now. The investigation determined
Martinez had been advertising and operating a business at ninety
one fifty to forty ninth Street northn Panella's Park Authority

(01:06:57):
said she claimed to provide licensed industry service is focusing
on veneer implants. Records confirmed she does not wholly valid
dental license in Florida, which she also does not recognize
vinear texts in the dental profession. Martinez was taken into
custody without incident. The Florida Department of Health was notified
of her arrest, and she faces charges of scheme to

(01:07:19):
defraud less than twenty thousand dollars, practicing dentistry without an
active license, misdemeanor warrant for failure to appear, misdemeanor warrant
for violations or probation, unlawful possession of personal identification of
another end cited as habitual traffic offender. The case is
still under investigation.

Speaker 7 (01:07:36):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:07:36):
The worst offense is habitual traffic offender. Wow, she does
look like a dental assistant or at the very least,
so get that license, Emily. You know it's it's the
no repairs or refunds that got her into trouble. See,
otherwise her patients would have never rated her out. And
you got to check this one out. A Wendy's customer

(01:07:57):
has been arrested after trying to pay for his drive
through meal with cocaine. Cops in Colorado say, here's a
pro tip, the drive through is for burglars and fries,
not narcotics. The Douglas County Sheriff's Office rights in a
Facebook post when announcing the arrest, Police said the man
offered to sell drugs to the Castle Pines fast food

(01:08:17):
worker at the drive through window in exchange for his meal.
It Sacramento B identified the restaurant at the local Windy's
the man, and it shows the worker foil with a
white pottery substance resembling cocaine. According to the Sheriff's office,
When the worker declined the offer, police said, the man
told the Wendy's employee that he'd wait for them if

(01:08:39):
they changed their mind. Then he entered the restaurant well.
The police recalled, and when the deputies got there, they
found the man's car in plane view and saw a
line of white pottery substance on a cell phone, according
to the sheriffs. The photo was shared by the police
showed the white dusted phone on the car seat, along
with a pair of eyeglasses disposed of a water bottle
and other items. Police said that they also found baggies

(01:09:01):
for distribution, a scale, and several alcohol shooters in his car,
which is in violation of his active probation order. Body
camera footage shows police handcuffing the man, who had not
been named by the police. Fast food deals are supposed
to come with fries, not felonies. The Sheriff's office playfully
worn as it announces the charges against the man unlawful distribution, manufacturing, dispensing,

(01:09:25):
sale or possession, violation of protection order, and unlawful possession
of controlled substances. The Independent has reached out to the
Sheriff's office for further information and to Wendy's for a comment. Now.
To be fair, most of his other business partners accept
this currency right, and to quote Rick James on The
Chappelle Show, cocaine is a hell of a drug. Imagine

(01:09:46):
being so hungry you offer the drive through cashier ten
times the food's value in drugs you know, and you'll
never believe this one. A Florida couple were arrested for
engaging in a sexual act call in public view at
a Marathon gas station in Florida, Keys. According to authorities,
jail records show that sixty year old Vincent Edward Cruise
of Marathon is facing account each with unnatural and lascivious

(01:10:10):
acts and disorderly conduct, and also cited forty five year
old Sharon Helen Zaplinsky of clear Water. She's facing charges
of indecent exposure, unnatural ascivious acts, and disorderly conduct. Authorities
said the pair were engaging in sexual activity around eight
pm at the Tom Thumb gas station on the fifty

(01:10:32):
five hundred block of Overseas Highway, near the station's car
wash area. They said both individuals appear to be intoxicated
and were taken into custody without incident. Record show Cruise
is being held on twelve five hundred dollars bond and
Zapinsky is held on fifty five hundred dollars bond. Both
are at the Monroe County Jail. Now imagine these legends
in jail, not bonded out, but bragging about their crimes. Right,

(01:10:55):
kind of brings new meaning to at the car wash,
yet also better than digging. Why does unnatural and lascivious
acts sound so romantic? I don't know, Okay, One more,
a new Absterreman's decades long hobby of canning and freely
distributing his homemade foods has now landed him in legal
trouble with Manchester City officials. Daniel Mowry, who grew up

(01:11:20):
canning produce from his family's garden, has been given giving
away all of his homemade jellies and tomatoes and pickles,
but the Manchester Health Department now has ordered him to
cease this practice, saying he needs a permit and commercially
licensed kitchen to can and distribute food. Wow, that would

(01:11:42):
they'd have a full time job in the South. While
state law allows the sale of homemade foods with certain requirements,
the city has its own Food Safety Ordnance Alderman Joseph
Kelly Lavassur argues this as a common sense issue the
community should support, noting Mallory could finds some violations if
the law isn't changed. Mallory, who sees canning is hard

(01:12:05):
work and tradition, is vowed to continue his hobby. We'll
see what the Alderman's meeting. He tells the city when
giving away food is outlawed, the food givers will be outlaws.

on their hands. Obviously, it sounds like a certain health
department is jell us. Yes, well, help spread the stupidity
