Speaker 1 (00:08):
Everything you are about to hear is true.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
None of the names have been changed because no one
is innocent from stupidity.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
It's a great bay stupid worlds. Hasn't well a stupid
gave stupid way stupid.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Welcome to insane Eric Lane's stupid world.

Speaker 4 (00:32):
And if you see something stupid, say something stupid.

Speaker 5 (00:37):
And now here's the man who has given a piece
of his mind to so many people. He barely has
a mind left, the host of this stupid world, Eric Lane.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
Welcome to my stupid world. I've got five stars stupidity
for you, so please rate the podcast with five stars.
My Insane Florida ne f you, Pacho Guero and I
will underwhelm you with some of the dumbest stupidity and
test your sanity with the insane game show. So relax
and let your mind go to mush as you enter
the realm of reality. And for the record, this is

(01:11):
the real me, not not the AI me. Okay, just
to make sure of anything, I am not fake. I
hate being fake, but yet I think now in this
particular day and age we are officially entering the Golden Age,
is stupidity and arrow in fake things are not just common.

(01:33):
They're actually comforting. Think about that for a minute.

Speaker 6 (01:39):
I ought to give you a piece of my mind.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
I mean, the line between real and artificial has vanished. Honestly,
nobody seems to really care. I mean we scrolled past
AI generated faces, synthetic voices, deep fakes. It's like they're
just part of breakfast. The real question isn't how we
fall for the stuff, it's why we want to. It's

(02:09):
not gullibility. Frankly, it's hunger. I mean, we don't want
the truth. We just want something that fits our favorite story.
I think, right, and when you're falling in love with chat,
GPT and people, there are people now that almost a
quarter of the population think that they can be romantic
with artificial intelligence. I don't know. The fake feels good

(02:34):
because it flatters us, it comforts us. It never asks
for patience or thought, which, let's face it, we're really
fresh out of I mean, once upon a time, authenticity
actually meant honesty and effort, but now it just means
good lighting and relatable captions. I mean, being real takes
patients context and doubt. Three things are social media diets

(02:54):
really have eliminated? Really, so we settle for what's close enough.
I guess we don't demand truth. We just settle for
something that, well, it looks like it could be. That's
how we vote nowadays. You know, believability has replaced truth.
I mean if it seems real, that's good enough. I
mean a lie that matches your worldview is now more
valuable than a fact that challenges it. Yeah, you know

(03:16):
the old saying seeing is believing, it's turned into believing
as seeing. Now, to take that viral video Bruce Lee,
remember he was playing ping pong with numbchucks. Millions thought
that video was real, even though it was made decades
after he died. But you see, it felt true, right,

(03:36):
That's all that mattered. It wasn't just a lie. It
was a tribute, a fake one that like fit the myth.
That's where we are right now. I mean, we've built
a world where fakery isn't the enemy. It's actually a
lifestyle choice. We actually edit our faces, we rewrite our
stories and our resumes. We call it self expression. Some
people even call it a job application. Reality has it

(04:01):
become something we customize, not something we check. It's the
scary part, isn't that we've you know, lost touch with
what's real. It's that we just don't seem to miss it.
We we use the fake to finish our stories, to
make life a little more flattering and a little less complicated.
So yeah, I guess, I guess the fake is the
new normal. Not because we've been tricked, you see, but

(04:23):
because it's actually just easier. Why bother with the truth
when a good illusion feels so much better? I mean,
after all, stupidity is what happens when we get fooled.
It's what happens when we like it. And if you
actually like this little editorial, this little piece of my mind,
let me just tell you one simple thing. The whole

(04:45):
thing was written by AI. You know, I'm open to
talking about anything but love talking about surviving in the
stupidity that's always around us. And if you're insane enough

Speaker 7 (06:07):
Eric Lane wonder.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Yes, Well, after a week off, having a little time
to spend it uh in a in a college uh environment,
we're back with my insane Florida nephew from Jacksonville, Florida,
where you have. She had a little extra week to
kind of, you know, see if there's any more stupidity
down there in Florida, right.

Speaker 6 (07:06):
Right, I think it was the perfect week to have
a day off. I think.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Well, let me tell you what happened with us now,
you know when we go down to Lynchburg, because you know,
my son's down at Liberty.

Speaker 6 (07:17):
So think I think Tennessee like Jack Daniels.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Oh yeah, you're right. True. Well, anyway, when you when
you we go down to central Virginia, down to Liberty,
we pass right past Harrisonburg, Virginia, which is the location
of one of the new BUCkies this year. Okay, so
we have to stop at BUCkies, you know, and because
first off, the gas is cheap, and I just want

(07:42):
to go in and get something.

Speaker 6 (07:43):
Us bathroom there, right, I want.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
To use the bathroom. Have the cleanest bathrooms in the world.
But Laura, my wife, wanted to basically get a gift
card to put in a stocking sufferer for my son
because he is a BUCkies nut. He makes the point
to stop at BUCkies when he comes back back home
from college. So anyway, we went down hung out with him.
I embarrassed him like crazy in front of all of

(08:06):
his dorm mates, you know. But then we were going
to go visit some friends who actually lived in the
Harrisonburg area and not far from the BUCkies, And of
course my son wanted to stop at BUCkies, and so
we stopped, and of course every time you go in there,
it's like a zoo. I mean the place is jam packed.

Speaker 6 (08:23):
Follow everybody, you know.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
So, but he decides on his own volition. He wanted
to not buy food this time. He passed on the
on the brisket. Instead, he spent twenty five dollars on
a full length BUCkies onesie. All right, he by, and
of course that was that alone put my wife over

(08:46):
the edge because he's spending twenty five dollars basically on
Halloween costume, you know. But but then he didn't stop there.
We were going to go visit these friends, and so
before we could get to his friend's house, he had
already decided to put on the onesie. And he's he's
walking up the sidewalk with the beaver tail flapping in

(09:08):
the breeze. As he's walking up in his beaver costume.
Six foot four beaver comes walking up to the house.
Good friend, that's a lot of beaver, it is. My
wife is like, I'll just sit in the car. So so, yes,
that was my weekend. We spent the weekend with a
six foot six foot beaver.

Speaker 6 (09:29):
All right, well that's that's I guess.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Well, I will tell you. I will say this, he
was a very fit beaver.

Speaker 6 (09:40):
That is the one I have at least at my place. Yeah,
that's great. I mean, I love the idea that you
could just say that you're you're back from college for
the for the first time in decades.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
We took Grandma to college too. She got to hang
out with all the college boys.

Speaker 6 (09:58):
That sounds like like a modern day like Brogan kind of.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Movie to me, exactly exactly. And I got to meet
coffee cream and sugar.

Speaker 6 (10:07):
The Joe's right.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
The Joe, the Joey's.

Speaker 6 (10:12):
They're they're like the cup of Joe's is what you'd
have to do.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
The cup of Joe that's right, the cup of Joe
that's right. So so it was good. It was it
was a good, good break. We had a lot of fun.
And uh, I mean come back and we're back in
the saddle again. So you know, oh yeah, oh yeah,
but you actually sound good. You know, it's not like
you have a cold or anything. So maybe everybody's healthy.
Either no one's got a sniffles, or no one's got.

Speaker 6 (10:35):
My youngest, my youngest was sick, but no one else
got sick. I'm just coming off of a three day fast.
I just broke a two hours ago.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
I think, yeah, yeah, that's one thing. I don't think
I'll ever. I don't think i'll ever probably try. It's
just I just don't like the idea of going hungry.
I don't know why.

Speaker 6 (10:55):
Yeah, nobody does. I was dreading it. Yeah, but you
know the reason. That's why you stick it out and
you get tough.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
Right, I I need to say, I don't know if
you're on the threads app that's that's that's basically Instagram's
attempt are trying to be Twitter. Well, I was on
threads I could you could probably see this whether you're
on threads or not, because it's kind of a public thing.
But about my piece of my mind about being fake, okay,

(11:26):
being fake. Look, this is perfectly, perfectly good timing because
you know, everyone's living in this era of artificial intelligence.
We don't know what's real, we don't know what's not. Well,
as you know, the big big news in my part
of the country was the coaching change at Penn State University.
Yeah we we we we kicked our coach to the

(11:49):
to the curb, which, frankly, I don't have any regrets
I actually heard that he was being considered coach. James
Franklin was being considered by Arkansas to be the razorback coach,
and I thought that, yeah, And I thought, well, that'd
be a perfect matchup because the Razorbacks, they think their
their crap don't stink, and I think he'd be a

(12:09):
perfect match, you know, because but nevertheless, it wasn't. Literally,
there wasn't many hours that had passed from the news
that he had been fired. Then I saw a like
an artificial intelligence creation of a James Franklin news conference
on threads okay, and it was the funniest thing I

(12:30):
have ever seen. He's he's like, he says, yeah, it
sucks to being fired. But he goes, oh, I'll be out.
I'll have a job soon. I'll go to work at
Kent State or somewhere like that. And he's making all
these things. It was so funny. He says, yeah, he says,
you know, I was fired. He goes, I was a
good coach. You know, I would be on the sidelines
after we would lose, just starting around down there, you know,

(12:55):
because you know, I'm a good coach and I'm good
at being a dumbass. You know, and it was all
these self defrecating comments about himself. It is hilarious. So
I may have to send this to you so you
can check it out so you can see because it
looked like a real James Franklin news conference, okay, and
it was all created by artificial intelligence.

Speaker 6 (13:15):
Wow, it was a video like I think it was
last week of how good. I think it's Sora too?
Is the AI program?

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Okay, yeah, I've heard of that, right.

Speaker 6 (13:26):
They had like a bunch of well, they had a
lot of Michael Jackson, uh like, which is hilarious, like
Michael Jackson stealing chicken from someone on the KFD, Michael
Jackson as a porch pirate on a ring camera, like
it was really funny. But some of them as well
were concerningly good. So much my wife is like she's
watching it, not laughing, but like in deep deep like

(13:53):
despair basically like like like no hope for the future
at this point.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Yeah, yeah, that's great. Totally love it, totally love it. Yeah,
So anymore you don't know what you're getting with AI.

Speaker 6 (14:06):
You don't know. I think you know. Now you think like, oh,
we got to make sure Grandma doesn't think that you know,
the DMV is trying to text her, you know, about
her car or whatever or or what are the ones
like you know those those scam calls right like where yeah, like, yeah,
there's a virus on my Microsoft Grandma, you don't have

(14:27):
a computer.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
Oh yeah right, you know, Like but like for.

Speaker 6 (14:31):
Us, like is this going to be for us? Like
it's gonna be AI and you're gonna be like, dad,
come on, that's very clearly not. Actually, I don't know.
It's it's crazy to see it is.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
It really is. And and but this is I read
this today actually that the magazines and the stuff that
you eat, the articles on the web, they said about
fifty five of those articles any more that you read
are generated by.

Speaker 6 (15:00):
A I I believe it.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, so yeah, I mean it's it's really And did
you just hear this that chat GPT has just worked
out an agreement with Walmart. No, you can be in
chat GPT and you can use chat GPT to go
shopping at Walmart because they're going to integrate Walmart shopping

(15:24):
with chat GPT. Oh man, yeah, so you're you can
literally do this within chat GPT. So if you need
to make a Walmart run you can just what you're
I'm like, this is this is really crazy, man, you know,
that's uh. And they say they should be rolling this
out in the next you know, three or four months.
So you got that that, you got that to look

(15:45):
forward to that, you know. Yeah, it's insane. It's insane,
you know. So yeah, you never know what's going to
be fake or what's not. You know, it's uh. I'll
tell you what I've what I've loved seeing as far
as these a I are these some videos that Donald
Trump is putting out of all the Democrats, Democrats wearing sombreros,

(16:06):
and it is the funniest thing I've ever seen, it
really is. So that's something you've got to check out.
You've never seen more.

Speaker 6 (16:13):
Up on the trends than me these days.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
Oh yeah, well the fact that you're married to a
Mexican it's gonna be even.

Speaker 6 (16:20):
Funnier, right, I mean, yeah, She's what people don't realize
is like people have a lot of misconceptions about the
values of of a lot of like Hispanic kind of
cultures and families. Like they're really they've got strong families
right and believe things. But yeah, a lot of the

(16:41):
times on news. I noticed they try to make you
feel like you have to vote in some kind of
conglomerate block all over there.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
And right exactly exactly.

Speaker 6 (16:51):
Well, most of the friends I've got that are Hispanic
like all very like minded, I think, with a lot
of that.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
So right, well, I'm gonna I'm going to see if
I can send you this this video of the of
the Sombreros, because it is it is definitely worth checking out.
It's fantastic. So and and then you can you can
show it to missus Poncho and get a good laugh
out of it.

Speaker 6 (17:17):
I'm sure that she'll laugh at it, yeah, or she'll
be back in another existential dread of like AI getting
too good.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Yeah. Well, I'm sending all these things to uh in messengers,
so that way you can you can check messenger when
we're done.

Speaker 6 (17:32):
Okay, I'll do that because it is.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
It is definitely you'll you'll love it. You'll you'll thoroughly
enjoy it. All right now though, messing around?

Speaker 6 (17:42):
All right, Yeah, it's been a week off here, and
so I think people are itching for stupid stories.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Well did you go for a run lately? I have not.

Speaker 6 (17:57):
Well, you know, I'm waiting for my broken toe to
fully feel normal.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Oh that's right, you still got that broken tone.

Speaker 6 (18:05):
I don't think it's broken anymore, but it still feels
sore when I bend it certain ways, and I just
don't want to run and like hurd it. But now
cooling down here, I do want to get back to
getting out and running.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, exactly, because you know that you were the one.
You get to do all the running and like, I
don't know, I don't need.

Speaker 6 (18:23):
Yeah, I do enough exercise for the two of us,
so that.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
You got that way, you don't have Yeah, that's right.
I'm carrying all your weight.

Speaker 6 (18:30):
Yeah, you are right. I'm like, no, I'm carrying this
podcast where I'm just getting up.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
That was good, Thank you, that was good.

Speaker 6 (18:41):
That was good.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
You'll get I'll score point for you on that. That's good.

Speaker 6 (18:47):
We need a point for all this. We need a
party to be able to track points.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
That's what your mother does. Good. Your mother listens to
the podcast all the time. I know, right, yes, so,
but yes, you you've done very well picking out the
stories this week, and I've tried to be very very
appropriate in assigning them to you.

Speaker 6 (19:12):
You're like, it's been two weeks since we've really recorded.
So that's right, you're itching for it. Yeah, well, look,
I love I love the stories this week. Actually, I
just think they're so unique or just.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yea, and you picked basically picked the ones I thought
you would.

Speaker 6 (19:29):
Right, So so I'll tell you the one thing I
kind of mentioned earlier was I've not been consuming is food. Yeah,
and when you go three days without eating other than water,
I don't even put flavor or anything anything, because like,
to me, part of it is like like I don't
know if you could get through that with no flavor.

(19:50):
You come out of that and your taste buds change.
Like I broke the pasis with a little bit of
of like yogurt and and those blueberries and raspberry is
in it. And yogurt was like kind of sour like
because I like kind of Greek or sour like yeah,
you know, and uh, and I figured that would be,
you know, good to kind of ease in. I think

(20:12):
it's like this a two yogurt and supposedly it's supposed
to be easier on the stomach and the guts. I'm like,
that's perfect. Right after not using any of that for
the last two days and or three days. But yeah,
so so like that, the berries, the yogurt, like it
was probably one of the best tasting things I've ever
tasted in my life, just because.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
You hadn't been you haven't been tasting anything for three
days exactly.

Speaker 6 (20:35):
No, exactly about bursting with flavor and and what it
does for me as well as it changes so it
changed my taste buds, but also changes my cravings for sugar.
And when I sugar, I can I can go to
fruit and I get that that kick that I normally
want from Like.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
If you, if you, if you're if you want really
faster three days and then start off with a burst
of flavor, you know, and and and really kind of
ease back into you know, normal food. Try to start
breaking your fast with Hagis.

Speaker 6 (21:06):
I thought you're saying with taco Bell. Let's let's well,
you could do that, well, Taco Bell. But if I
broke my fast and Taco Bell, it would ruin me,
it would I might. I may not be recording it
right now if I did that.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
Well, if you, if you, if you did it with
hagas you you know, a little bit of a sheep
lung would probably be good for your probiotics.

Speaker 6 (21:27):
It might be, but if my taste buds are extra sensitive,
I don't know if that's what I want to be tasted.
I thought you're supposed to drink a whole lot before
you eat. That way you could kind of, you know,
get through minutes.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
But you know, look, most most Scottish food was developed
on a deer.

Speaker 6 (21:44):
Right. Oh man, So our first story of the week here,
here's a new challenge that involves consuming taco Bell. And
it's not consuming taco bell after a three day fast,
which I'm sure that some people will probably decided to
start doing eventually. It's it's a matter of when, not if.
But what about running thirty one miles while constantly consuming

(22:08):
Taco Bell.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
It sounds like a great time to me.

Speaker 6 (22:11):
This is very intriguing to me.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
I mean you could be Look, the thing is, you
could be doing the run, eating Taco Bell, having the
run exactly.

Speaker 6 (22:19):
Yes, No, it makes it. Yeah, I think the irony
is not lost in anybody. Is a very intentional. So
if Taco Bell gives you the runs athletically, that is
this needs to be on your bucket list. There's an
ultra runner event in Denver called the International Taco Bell
fifty k ultra marathon. Easy hear thinking like an ultra marathon.

(22:43):
You think, oh, well, that sounds very healthy and good. Well, yeah,
well this is actually a five. Like a five oh
so it's like fifty kilometers or thirty one miles. The
race is a loop through Denver, includes mandatory stops that
ten area taco bells. So instead of stopping for like water,

(23:04):
you know, on stations, they've got taco bell stations along
the way. Here's how it works. You have to order
something at nine of the ten taco bells, and you've
got to actually eat the food that includes one Chilupa
Supreme or one crunch Wrap Supreme by the fourth stop,
and one Burrito Supreme or one Nacho's Bell Grande by

(23:24):
the eighth stop. You need to finish the thirty one
miles within eleven hours. You need to keep all your
receipts and wrappers and drinks do not count as food.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
Oh man, you mean that maybe you can't you can't
have that baja blast to change.

Speaker 6 (23:39):
Well, you can still chase it down with a Baja blast,
but naturally, this is a very challenging race for your
digestive system. But you've got to keep it down. They
have a zero tolerance policy on vomiting, so if you do,
you're immediately disqualified. You know, that's bad, that's bad. We

(24:00):
are for Taco Bell. If you're throwing out back taco
they have a zero tolerance policy vomiting. If you do,
you're immediately disqualified and you're banned from encore stomach medicines
as well, including Pepto, PEP, PEP sid the A, c
Alka seltzer, and Atlanta. So oh man, you are able
to use the bathroom as much as you'd like, but

(24:22):
you can only use Taco Bell restrooms along with one
other approved public toilet. So so, I don't know how
many people are running in this, but I mean, like,
how many bathrooms do they have? I could see that,
you know, waiting for the bathroom.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
I would think Taco Bell bathrooms would be pretty durable.

Speaker 6 (24:45):
That is true, I guess, yeah, you got a point. Well,
the Taco Bell fifty K is in its eighth year. Wow,
this is the first of me hearing about though. Here
we have a couple of runners documenting their journey to
talk about Okay, and.

Speaker 7 (25:00):
We're going down.

Speaker 6 (25:01):
We're ready to go for the second Houston's meeting.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
Simon Question Mountains, CZI roll Up Top sixty, Abrita.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
Grande Plas twenty.

Speaker 4 (25:11):
I'm at the next time of Belt JC Rollup that
has been in my belt for the past five.

Speaker 8 (25:16):
Miles, Man thirty a Ta bel Jer.

Speaker 6 (25:22):
They haven't announced a winner or any final numbers, but
they were expecting around six hundred participants. And yeah, it's
a self aware tongue in cheek event. For the record,
the Taco Bell is an affiliate with it in any way,
and they won't even comment on it. The organizers said
they believe that it's probably hung up by their legal

(25:44):
team because if they endorse it, they may open themselves
up to a liability issues and stuff. And they probably
don't mind the publicity.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
They don't mind six hundred people buying all their food.

Speaker 6 (25:57):
Oh yeah, for sure. What I like to think is
at the end of the thirty one miles, they just
put a toilet and that's like, that's the goal, that's
why you're.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
Basically they just dig a hole and have everyone squat
around the perimeter. I think that's probably be a better
thing for them to do.

Speaker 6 (26:12):
Right too.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
You know, wow, can you imagine let me ask you this.
I mean really, I mean you you probably can do
a lot of good food consumption, you know, can could
you see yourself actually doing thirty one miles and literally
getting this done in the timeframe that they have allotted

(26:34):
and eating all that taco.

Speaker 6 (26:35):
Belt thirty one miles?

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Man, could you actually see yourself doing it in eleven hours?

Speaker 6 (26:41):
Yeah? Eleven hours is the thing that gives me.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
Yeah, I mean you are running and burning up all
the energy, so I mean it's not like you're gonna
sit down and eat it all at one time.

Speaker 6 (26:53):
Right when I Man, when I go wrecking, I usually
do like a two or three mile and forty five minutes.
But that's what well, that's what like a seventy pounds
backpack on true, So if.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
You won't need the backpack, if you've got a full
stompaflore taco bell, you won't.

Speaker 6 (27:09):
Need those eleven hours thirty one miles. I don't know
there's a chance. But at the same time, I don't
know if I would really fully do it. I'm not
a runner, like I will run because it's good now.
I hate it though, Yeah, so yeah, I probably not.
The taco bell would be the thing that would stop
me any more.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
One thing I didn't really catch in the story is
do you have to pay for all of that food?

Speaker 6 (27:34):
I'm assuming you could do.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
That's the thing. I mean, that's a lot of money,
you know what I mean? Eating all that? I mean, really,
I would think that if they gave you the food
for the run, you know, that would be kind of
maybe worse. But I guess if they were to give
you the food, that would be the same thing as
Taco bell maybe endorsing the event. So maybe you do

(27:56):
have to buy it.

Speaker 6 (27:57):
If that was the case, I might just go on
a walk taco bells for free food along the way.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
Can you imagine, man, all that food you have to eat,
you know, eight of the nine? Is that what it was?
Something like that? You have to something nine out of
the ten Taco bells all right, that you have to eat?
I mean, I don't know. I've heard people getting punched drunk,
and I've heard people getting you know, people can get

(28:23):
drunk on water if you drink so much water too,
I've heard you kind of get water log But man,
imagine being you know, like stoned on hot sauce or
something like that, you know, I mean.

Speaker 6 (28:34):
I believe their fire sauce.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
Yeah, the fire sauce or something. You know, well that
I mean, I love Taco Bell. It's my favorite restaurant
to go to. I love Taco Bell. I mean, I
love but I'm not sure I would ever eat at
another Taco Bell if I had to eat all that
all that food in eleven hours straight.

Speaker 4 (28:57):
You know.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
But look, some people might find that a challenge. Some
people might be really stupid. But frankly, I mean sometimes
stupid just drives itself literally. Okay, we have a person
that was not stoned on Taco Bell, but just stoned
and well it being the classic stone right right. So

(29:19):
this was up on Highway seventeen in Ontario, a nice
quiet night. We have a resident from the quaint city
of Barry, Ontario who's cruising along and they suddenly become
convinced someone is following them. So the panic sets in.
All right, clearly this is top tier government surveyed once operation,

(29:43):
or you know, maybe just headlights on a two lane highway.
I mean, so what do they do? Well, if you're
really panicking and you think somebody has really following you,
you just call the cops, you know that way, you
say that, you know, you can just pick up your phone.
But there's only one problem them. They can't actually tell
the officers where they are. They just said that they're

(30:05):
going east, so that's I'm sure really helpful, but it's
kind of like calling nine to one one to say
I'm lost, but at least i'm moving, you know. But
eventually the police do track them down. They're they're now
near the town of Massey, and well, this is where
things really kind of get pretty impressive, all right. There
as the officers approach, well they're greeted but with this

(30:28):
unmistakable scent of freshly burnt cannabis. Okay, yep, it turns
out this paranoia might have been probably less about being
chased and more about being extremely high. All right, yep,
police know that the paranoid behavior, which in this case

(30:50):
translates to call the cops on imaginary followers while baked
out of their mind. Basically, the driver obviously was arrested
and taken for medical assessment and then was later charged
with impaired driving and their license got suspended for ninety
days and they had their car impounded for a week.
And I'm pretty sure their ego probably took an even
longer vacation. But the accused was a twenty six year

(31:12):
old Casa Haywood of Barry, Ontario, and I guess case
so we'll have their day in court. But look, honestly,
it's kind of hard to kind of top the embarrassment of,
you know, being your own worst suspect. You know. So
maybe if you ever think somebody's following you while you're
driving through Ontario, just roll the window down before calling
the police, just to make sure it's not the smell

(31:34):
of your own bad decisions catching up with you. Dude,
this is like a Bob and Doug McKenzie, you know,
a moment. You know, Bob and Doug McKenzie were.

Speaker 6 (31:45):
Like, well that too.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
But Bob and Doug were Canadians a you know, so
they're the ones that they would they would get out
to the Great White North. This was back in the
what nineties or something like this. So but but yeah,
this would be like I would love to see a
super high Canadian trying to convince a cop that somebody
was chasing. That would be that That's that's a perfect scenario.

Speaker 6 (32:10):
I'm thinking like Harold and Kumar or something as well,
like that's true, It's true.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
So but definitely there was quite an a roman that
the cops were met with as they rolled the window
down there. You know, I used to imagine the cops
surprise when they's got a whiff of that cannabis.

Speaker 6 (32:28):
I well imagine waking up to that smell.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
Some people wouldn't mind it, right, and in.

Speaker 6 (32:35):
Some hotels that might be an option for you now,
So yeah, yeah, all right, next, this is interesting. I'm
fast fascinated by it, okay, but quite like do I
want to wake up like? This is my question? So
if you're staying at a hotel, you probably wouldn't want
to be awoken by a smell. That might be a

(32:58):
bad sign, right, you know, there's a huge smells that
might have at the hotels, but that might change though.
Holiday inn Express is testing a new scent based alarm clock.
It works like a diffuser, releasing the scent of your
choice when it's time to wake up. You're trying out
different options in different countries. In Australia New Zealand, guests

(33:18):
can pick from options like coffee, bacon and blueberry muffin.
In Japan, you can also choose nashi pear and Singapore
and Thailand, mango is an option.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Oh wow.

Speaker 6 (33:29):
Unfortunately it's not available in the US yet. The breakfast
smells are not a tease. The hotels are also offering
free breakfasts. Here we actually have audio of influencer Lily
Turtan talking about it.

Speaker 8 (33:41):
What if your alarm clock didn't sound like this, but
it smelled like your favorite breakfast cent holding an express
just launch the world's first breakfast alarm clock. It literally
wakes you up to the smell of coffee, bacon, or
bluebery muffins.

Speaker 6 (33:53):
So it's just supposed to improve your experience by giving
you a nice, pleasant smell to wake up to. Basically,
and you're someone who could sleep through any smell, even
an entire dinner operating inside your room, then they still
offer wake up calls or knocks at the door. The
sense of alarm clocks are just a new in room option. Interesting, right,

(34:17):
And who doesn't just use your cell phone at this
point for like a thing?

Speaker 1 (34:20):
Yeah, well you could do that too.

Speaker 6 (34:22):
Right now. I didn'tink it's a nice touch to add
like regional sense of the mix, like you could add
hagis for your your Scottish base.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
And you're saying that'lleens.

Speaker 6 (34:33):
Right. You could also offer the smell of like vomit
and you know, too much beer alcohol.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
Yeah, yeah, that would be a great to wake up
of course.

Speaker 6 (34:44):
Yeah maybe if you had too much a drink, you
could wake up to the smell of like fruit loops
or something like that.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
Yeah, yeah, there you go, your taco bell. May you
have the smell of taco bell?

Speaker 6 (34:54):
Right? So that what has been saying, like what would
be the special special smell in my area or something
I don't And coconuts maybe further south, I guess, Yeah,
that'd be interesting. That would be in the US in general,
like coffee, I think bacon would be pretty popular. Oh yeah,

(35:16):
I could also see people going for like donuts, apple pie.
I think it would be gross, but like pizza or popcorn,
I don't want to wake up to that. But I
could totally see people doing that barbecue smoke, old leather
gasoline for the tough guys. And I'm sure it'll becoming
spice as well.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
Oh well you know that, you know that.

Speaker 6 (35:36):
But so anyway, like, sorry, Holiday and Express, but if
you really care about us, you'd offer anything from my
list of the top other things Holiday and Express can
offer to enhance state. Oh boy, yeah, so first of one,
here is a key card that works the first time
we finally make it to a room on the seventeenth floor.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
I've been there. I've been there and.

Speaker 6 (36:02):
From the last time, I don't know if this is
a holiday, and it might have been somewhere else, but
a tour that actually shuts all the way that.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
Was, Yes, well that's when we go hotels. Well, when
we go to hotels as my wife that usually does
a check in, and she's got both cards and she
sits her and fuses with the thing and could never
get the door open. So it's either me or my
son that's got to open the door for Oh yeah,
that is.

Speaker 6 (36:25):
How about barsop that doesn't disappear in your butt crack
by the second shower? Ah, yes, housekeepers who wait until oh,
I don't know, like maybe six o one in the
morning to bang on our door.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
Yes, I've had that happen once.

Speaker 6 (36:41):
Showers that don't scold or freeze us during the half
hour it takes to figure out the knobs.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
That's right, or or it's like kind of tippid warm
until you get to the last you know, half inch
on the nozzle and then it's scalding hot.

Speaker 6 (36:59):
Yep, all right, how about comforters that don't explode into
a CSI crime scene under a black light. That's a
big one for me. That's that's a make and break
it desk clerks who speak English.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
Yes, I want to talk in the morning.

Speaker 6 (37:18):
A continental breakfast that offered more than a mini box
or of special k and a spoiled banana.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
Oh, let me, let me. Let me just tell you
something about that. Okay. We stayed at a hotel when
we were in Virginia. And look, I mean, just if
anybody is listening to the podcast, who happens to be
in charge of the breakfasts at hotels? Okay? If if
you can't do it right, don't do it at all. Okay.

(37:45):
I would rather have a toasted bagel and cream cheese
than what is supposed to look like biscuits and gravy. Okay,
I don't know. It was. It was like maybe a
comfort in or something. It was worst biscuits and gravy
I have ever had in my They were gonna make
that gravy last all morning long. I'm gonna tell you

(38:07):
that way, okay, because it was like pouring water. It
was like pouring water. And the biscuits were the size
of a half dollar and hard at hockey pucks, you know,
And and so of course, you know, the watery sausage
gravy kind of made them soggy enough to cut. And
then you had like instant eggs that were like folded
over with a little piece of cheese inside to make

(38:28):
it look like an omelet. I'm thinking, honestly, this was
this was a mirage. This is what this was. This
wasn't breakfast. This was a mirage of what it should be.
Don't I would love to just yeah, if you're gonna
offer contonent of breakfast, just don't, don't. Don't go over.
And of course we had the turkey sausage. You don't

(38:49):
get the regular sausage, just this rubbery Oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 (38:58):
The next one on the list here the bathroom sinks
that are one free of nail clippings, yes, and last
on your two ply toilet paper or dare you to
dream three ply? No?

Speaker 1 (39:15):
Well, I've only had one ply when I've stayed, you know,
and you know what, there's no feeling like when your
finger punches through you know, just no, I just now there. Now, granted,
there are some hotels I've stayed in that were actually
surprisingly good. But yeah, the one we stayed in, it

(39:37):
was definitely a seventy five dollars a night hotel.

Speaker 6 (39:39):
It was.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
It was not good, not good. Well exactly, that's exactly it.
But you know, sometimes I mean, I mean, there are
some hotels that do make make the make the effort,
and uh and and it is affordable. So I know

(40:00):
there are some students that are making the effort to
get around these cell phone bands. Now, my home state
of Arkansas, they have they have instituted a it's called
a was it bell to Bell No Cell Phone Act
where all schools are required to take cell phones from
students because they're not allowed to have cell phones in class.

(40:21):
They're trying to get that pass in Pennsylvania. So but look,
I'm just telling you right now, these kids are smart. Okay,
if you take their phones away from them, they will
still find a way around it. I mean, honestly, the
kids really have officially reinvented the AOL chat room. All right,

(40:41):
They've done done this with Google docs. Uh, thanks to
this new these cell cell phone bands, teenagers are you know,
having to find ways to survive this unspeakable horror of
not being able to text during class. So true gen
z fashion here. Okay, they've hacked the system and they're
big move. They open up a blank Google Doc, then

(41:03):
they share it with all their friends, and then they
just start typing at each other and it just shows
off their little secret group chats, all hidden in playing
sight right there on the school laptops. Okay, right, that's it.
I mean, that's the rebellion Renan. Forget passing notes, We've
now got collaborative spreadsheets of gossip on Google Docs.

Speaker 6 (41:23):
They said, make a podcast doing.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
That, They really could. I mean, well, now teachers are
calling it resourceful, parents are calling it creative. I'm calling
it the nerdiest form of rebellion in the history of
high school. I mean, honestly, though, if you've got to
break the rules, at least have the decency to carve
messages into a desk like we used to when I
was a kid growing up. You know, of course, you know,

(41:46):
some of the adults are a bit worried because, you know,
God forbid that your kids discovered that Google docs can
be used for you know, bullying, cheating memes. You know,
a teacher even warned that it could become a distraction
in the classroom. Really, you know, it's almost like banning
phones didn't erase the urge to ignore algebra, you know.
But meanwhile, New York Governor Kathy Hokeel has rolled out

(42:08):
a sesame street style mascot named Frankie Focus to help
sell the band Okay, because nothing says we take you
seriously like a government cartoon telling the teens to put
down TikTok. Shockingly, though, this hasn't really stopped the Google
doc uprising. I mean, on TikTok, teens are bragging about
their doc threads like they just like cracked the Pentagon

(42:31):
or something. You can't silence us queens, one declared, Yes,
queens fight the power with a shared word document or something.
And while most kids are quietly rebelling, a surprise number
are actually into the ban on phones. I mean, one
middle schooler even said if everyone is on their phone,
then no one will learn anything. Yeah, a great kid,

(42:52):
I guess you just got yourself shoved into a locker
for siding with the teachers.

Speaker 6 (42:56):
You know.

Speaker 1 (42:58):
But yeah, I told this to my to my wife
and she was like her mouth dropped open, and she
was just appalled that these kids would do something like this.

Speaker 6 (43:08):
You know, I would never expect that from from my children.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
But can you imagine, you know, the teacher's thinking, you're
working on the on the paper and you're just chatting
with your friend on Google Docs.

Speaker 6 (43:21):
Oh, I know that. I mean it's pretty smart. That
really brilliant.

Speaker 1 (43:25):
Yeah, so give it, give them credit. I mean, these
kids are definitely smart, you know. I'll tell you.

Speaker 6 (43:32):
That's like one of most things that you come up
with laws or ways to prevent people from doing things,
and like, all it does is it creates more inventive
crime or whatever it is, you.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
Know, or whatever it's it, you know.

Speaker 6 (43:45):
But hey, good on them for being able to think
of a box like that.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
Yeah, outside the phone, I know, right, I mean.

Speaker 6 (43:54):
I suppose that. Oh man, I'm trying to out of
transition these stories here. Well, I guess these students were
forced to, uh, you know what, put their phones up,
and they had to come up with a resourceful way

(44:17):
around being able to chat one another. Yeah, I've got
a guy who's been forced off of a plane for
a completely different reason though. There I know it's a
weak transition Okay, you could. I get it. I'm not
happy about it either. Well, look buckle up, all right. Yeah,
this story proves that sometimes the biggest turbulence on a

(44:40):
flight isn't from the weather. Sun Sun Country Airlines flight
from Minneapolis to Newark had to make an emergency stop
in Chicago after one passenger decided to combine conspiracy theories,
performance art, and a bad Candy Christ strategy all at
cruising altitude. The man, apparently auditioning for the role of

(45:02):
unhinged Passenger of the Year, began yelling that gay people
were giving him cancer and cooking him with radiation. Oh
my gosh, I don't imagine where the radiation comes from.
Because when you're trapped in a metal tube hurling towards
the sky, through the sky, what better to start screaming
about imaginary microwave beams. If anything, you're more likely to

(45:23):
be getting more radiation that high up in the atmosphere,
that's right. Yeah, And to protect himself from the invisible radiation,
the guy reprobably wore fifteen face masks and yes, that's
fifteen fifteen. Wow, that's not COVID safe, that's DIY hasmat suit.
I think you've got to admire the commitment this man said.

(45:46):
This man said, if a paranoia or a sport, I'm
taking home the gold. But wait, it gets better. I
think the rants about being gang chased by gays. He
would sit down and quietly play candy crush, then stand
up yell about Trump being on board, and sit back
down again to crush a few more candies, because apparently

(46:07):
delusion is exhausting work and you've got to recharge between episode.
The flight clu finally hip prob to catch his breath
out under all those masks. Yeah, I can't breathe with
one of those things on.

Speaker 2 (46:20):
Now.

Speaker 6 (46:20):
The flight crew finally decided that maybe, just maybe this
was not someone they wanted to keep at thirty thousand feet,
so the plane diverted to Chicago, where police met it
on the ground, handcuffed the human tinfoil burrito and took
them off the flight. Meanwhile, other passengers were questioned by
US marshals before the plane continued on Newark, probably wondering

(46:42):
if a Greyhound bus would have been less traumatic.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (46:46):
I've heard some crazy stories from the greyhounds too. How
in some country airlines later released the world's calmest statement
saying the flight landed without incident, which is a very
professional way of saying. Aside from the screaming man and
fifteen face man yelling that the gaze returning them into
a hot pocket, everything was fine. So remember travel can

(47:08):
be stressful. But if you ever feel like you're being
radiated mid flight, maybe skip the candy crush and call
a therapist.

Speaker 1 (47:15):
Oh, I know, and you know, I'm looking forward to
our plane flight to Shreetport at the end of the year.
We're gonna have my wife is going to be playing
for a wedding for friends in Shreetport, and we get
to fly. And I keep reading all these stories about
the nut jobs that are on these planes, and I'm thinking,
one of these days, I'm going to be in the
middle of one of those situations. Yeah, you will, you know,

(47:35):
and I'll whip out my phone and I'll record it
and I'll have on the spot audio for our next episode.
That's it, you know, unbelievable, you know. Yeah, but sometimes
you kind of wonder if these people that are on
these planes that seem to snap their wrapper at thirty
thousand feet, you kind of wonder, are they like possessed
I don't know, but you know, we're getting close to

(47:57):
Halloween and you're probably going to see a whole lot
more possessed incidences. And you got one situation here where
some witches would like to possess some cauldrons, and they're
suggesting that the folks that the Crockpot company can make
them some cauldrons for them, you see, Okay, I guess

(48:18):
you know, if you're a witch, you know it's pretty
hard to find a good cauldron. You don't find them
on sale at Walmart around here much. You know. The
witches of TikTok are planning a boycott though, of the
Crockpot because, according to what they have said, they said
that the company broke a promise that they would deliver

(48:40):
them a cauldron this year. Okay, Apparently they've been asking
for a cauldron for quite a while, and Crockpott previously
suggested that they would make a cooker in the shape
of a cauldron.

Speaker 6 (48:50):
Do you think that crock parts.

Speaker 1 (48:53):
I I don't know. I don't know, but I haven't
seen one yet. Okay. In fact, we had to go
shopping for a crockpot when we went down to see
my son at Liberty university because my wife forgot hers
at the house and she was making pull pork barbecue
for all of the college boys. And so her her
reasoning was, well, we'll buy a relatively inexpensive crockpot and

(49:15):
then we'll just give it to my son so he
can have it when he graduates. And he goes and
moves off on his own, you see. And so my
son's already googling recipes for you know, the the chicken dip,
you know, the whatever that spicy chicken dip that they
have I guess anyway, yeah, anyway, so look, I mean

(49:37):
they do have crockpots, have other shapes. They got like
a football shaped crockpot. Well, now I guess he's witches
a ripping crockpot online saying that this tease is a
big marketing flop. And we got one of the witches here,
her name is Claire, talking about it on one of
these TikTok videos.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
Which is we have an official update from Crockpot on
the crockpot cauled. They posted yesterday shortly after I made
a post about when is the cauldron coming? I'm going
to keep posting until it arrives. They said, we acknowledge
that everybody's been asking for the cauldron. They posted a
bunch of the comments and a bunch of the messages
from people asking where is this cauldron that we were
promised last year? And so they said that there will

(50:19):
not be a Crockpot cauldron this year. This is very unfortunate.
I think I speak for all witches and alternative people
when we say we would buy this year around any
time of year, so it would definitely be profitable if
it dropped in like October.

Speaker 1 (50:35):
Of course Crockpott really should be careful, you know, because
I assume these witches could probably you know, cast a
spell against the company, you know, unless that would require
maybe a cauldron, you know. But yeah, now, as far
as Crockpott is concerned, they did issue kind of a

(50:55):
statement saying, you never know what might me bubbling up
in the future, you know. Of course, yeah, I mean,
of course that's not good enough. I guess one of
the witch of Princesses was complaining about crock Pot not
delivering for this year. But I would say maybe she
seems a bit too knowledgeable about maybe the cauldron culture.
You know what, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (51:16):
There's a point where you cross the line where it
becomes concerning.

Speaker 1 (51:20):
Yeah, it does, although I haven't really seen anywhere where
you can purchase a good supply of Eye of newt.

Speaker 6 (51:27):
Right.

Speaker 1 (51:28):
You know, they don't really sell those in the Amish
bulk stores here, you know. So oh man.

Speaker 6 (51:38):
Oh man, I knew. Yeah, the idea of which is
one of crockpot cauldrons. I guess, I don't know. I
find it. I found it pretty funny. It is timely
for the season here as well. Of course, my wife
wants everything that is opposite of which is so es yes,
very much.

Speaker 1 (51:59):
But does your wife you as much of a crockpot?
Do you do crockpot?

Speaker 6 (52:02):
Not? Sometimes we do, but we don't use it significantly
a lot, but like you know, once or twice a
month maybe, yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
I mean, look, they're great for making rotail tip.

Speaker 6 (52:16):
Right, yeah, if I made if I if I got
a crockpot cauldron, that would get even less use. It
would get get pulled out for one month out of
the year.

Speaker 1 (52:25):
Right, right, for like some kind of green syrupy something
to dip something in.

Speaker 6 (52:30):
That's right, you know. But one thing though, if the
witches are having a hard time getting a cauldron, you know,
for their food, maybe they could just cook it and
then get a thermost to keep it warm instead.

Speaker 1 (52:45):
That's true.

Speaker 6 (52:45):
Yeah, and.

Speaker 1 (52:47):
It doesn't have the same impacts as a cauldron.

Speaker 6 (52:50):
Yeah, I know, you know it doesn't. But what about
if you want to keep you know, yeah, the thermo
selves keep your your food warm in there your rink,
But how do you keep the thermos itself warm? This
is what one guy figured out. We'll trying to break

(53:10):
into or sneak something into jail. So this is a classics.

Speaker 1 (53:19):
This is one that was guaranteed to be picked by you.

Speaker 6 (53:22):
Oh yes, absolutely. Oh, I just I looked at the
munk shot earlier. I didn't see the X ray photo.
I'm gonna be checking that out there.

Speaker 8 (53:28):
No.

Speaker 3 (53:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (53:30):
The following story is brought to you by three decades
of hard drugs. A fifty one year old guy in
winter Haven, Florida. He was arrested and when comps booked
him into jail, they found the largest item they've ever
seen hidden in someone's rear end or, as the Polk
County Sheriff Grady Judd put it, his exit rank. They

(53:53):
got the call about a naked man in a public bathroom,
but he was fully clothed by the time they got there,
so they let him go. Then he trespassed on instead
of train tracks right in front of them and threatened
to kill a cop. They put him through an X
ray and when they got him to jail, well that's
when they put him through him and got him to jail,
and that's when they realized that he was hiding a

(54:15):
full sized thermis up there. They didn't say exactly how
big it was or the brand, but they shared the
X ray and it looks big, like twenty ounces or
maybe more. They thought he was trying to smuggle drugs
or weapons in the jail, but apparently it was just
the thermis.

Speaker 1 (54:33):
Oh okay.

Speaker 6 (54:35):
They rushed him to a hospital where a specialist removed it.
You know that like the funked med school where when
that's your specialty fund. Yeah, you're like, all right, I'm
the butt guy. Now I'm the anus remover. His name
is Waltermere, and it turned out that he'd been storming

(54:55):
storing the thermost inside his body for a full day.
He told them that he put it up there twenty
four hours earlier. Officials say he would have died if
the thermist had stayed where it was much longer. He's
got a long rap sheet with at least twenty five
other arrests and five stints in prison. He also said
that he's been using math for twenty eight years. So

(55:16):
don't do drugs, kids, It might you might end up
with a giant thermist up your butt. Their audio here
of the Pot County Sheriff Grady Judd talking about it.

Speaker 9 (55:24):
So we put everybody through a body scanner to make
sure that they're not trying to bring guns and knives
and drugs into the jail. Well, you might have thought
Walter was bringing drugs into the jail. He brought a
thermost into the jail. He put it up the exit ramp.
He said, well, I put that inside my body twenty

(55:45):
four hours earlier.

Speaker 1 (55:46):
The deputy saved his life.

Speaker 6 (55:48):
He's facing multiple charges, but not for the thermos. They
also found a math pipe on him, but just in
one of his pockets. So would have had like chicken
little soup in the thermost? Would we feel differently about it?

Speaker 1 (56:03):
True? You know that's true.

Speaker 6 (56:04):
Apparently using that's for twenty years does something to your body.
Most of us can't imagine, though.

Speaker 1 (56:09):
Yeah, I mean that's quite the suppository, that's for sure.
I mean, yeah, we we've had plenty of great stories
of people either deliberately or inadvertently finding things up there
their exit ramp.

Speaker 6 (56:25):
Of course, I'm looking at gonna hate looking at this
X ray.

Speaker 1 (56:31):
Yes, the X ray is quite revealing that that just
might be the podcast artist. Yeah, but honestly, I love
how these kinds of stories show up in Polk County, Florida,
and we get share of Grady Judd talking about them.
Oh yeah, yeah, he's my favorite sheriff. I mean, because
he's got.

Speaker 6 (56:50):
Some he's your favorite the whole country.

Speaker 1 (56:53):
The whole country. I guarantee you the guy, he's fantastic.
But yeah, I love it, like put put a twenty
thermos up his exit ramp. It well, I mean nobody
said if there was anything inside. It was just an
empty thermos, you know.

Speaker 6 (57:13):
I just there have to be some Why would someone
do that for no reason?

Speaker 1 (57:17):
Yeah? I don't know, I just you know, yeah, yeah, yeah,
what I guess if it did have chicken soup in it,
it would at they serve a purpose, you know, So
how are you going.

Speaker 6 (57:30):
To get that chicken soup out?

Speaker 1 (57:31):
Though?

Speaker 6 (57:32):
Well, I don't know if I want to eat anything that.

Speaker 1 (57:34):
Came from you know, I'm just sitting you're kind of
looking at this X ray here, you know, And what
do you think the circumference is of that thermos?

Speaker 6 (57:44):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (57:48):
You know, yeah, and and compare that to the well yeah,
I mean, and you have to consider the average circumference
of the normal human anus. Yeah, you know. I mean
I realized that, you know, it might give a little bit,
you know, if it was a little bigger. But honestly, though,

(58:08):
it's uh, I don't know, that's that's that's crazy.

Speaker 6 (58:12):
Well, I don't know how that was possible.

Speaker 1 (58:15):
Well, he obviously could not have thrust it. I think
he had to have at least sat on it. That's
the only thing I can figure, you know. So, but
at least it wasn't anything explosive, you know, like like
a missile or you know, was one of the guys
had like a bomb or something inside of his.

Speaker 6 (58:35):
Oh yeah, yeah, I forgot.

Speaker 1 (58:38):
Yeah, I mean, so, oh my gosh. So yeah, well
all right, well we've got some some pretty interesting ask
Poncho questions, none of which have anything to do with
inserting foreign objects into your exit ramp. But yes, exactly,
But I mean, yeah, we do have a brutally honest

(59:00):
situation by someone here, And this comes from a person
saying they need help if they should be brutally honest
with their kids about the divorce. So this is an
interesting scenario. It says, dear Pancho, my husband and I
have decided to divorce. I have our young kids at

(59:21):
the moment, and they're starting to ask questions about why
we're living separately and about why we have broken up.
Now my husband and I are splitting up because well,
I caught him cheating. Now do I tell my young
kids the truth or create a white lie? Now? My
ex is a good father, but he's a terrible husband.
So I'm not sure what to do. So can you

(59:43):
help me? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (59:46):
Man, that sucks.

Speaker 1 (59:47):
That's yeah interesting conundrum.

Speaker 6 (59:51):
Yeah. So anytime someone says, like, you know some about like,
oh if I could be like brutally honest, my first
thought is you could be honest without having to be
brutal about it. I tend to think that honesty is
the best way to go for things because lies, the
more lies, and you're going to be anxiety tripped up.

(01:00:12):
Like it's no, you don't have to be brutally honest.
About it. And one question, how old are the kids?
You know? True, but even beyond that, you could be
honest with them without telling them everything. And and yeah,
so like.

Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
You know, she said that they're young kids, so I'm
going to say maybe pre teens are before they're even
a teenager.

Speaker 6 (01:00:34):
That's what I would think, too, yam. And like, I
don't know, I would I definitely wouldn't tell my you know,
dad sleeping with someone else, but especially they haven't even
had to talk to themselves. But there's gotta be a
way to be able to tell them, like, well, you know, dad,
dad did something that broke trust with mom, and mom

(01:00:55):
can't trust that anymore. Yeah, you know, well, yeah, really
hurt mama's feelings, Like yeah, at this.

Speaker 1 (01:01:02):
Point, I'm sure she's not really happy with her ex.
But you also, you can't take out your I don't know,
your your anger on your kids.

Speaker 6 (01:01:11):
Your kid's dad still and they they're going to have
a healthier, better childhood and adulthood having a good relationship
with with their right, yeah, like with their fathers.

Speaker 1 (01:01:24):
So yeah, you don't want to ruin that well, right,
And and really you're are you doing it for the
sake of the kids, or for the sake of getting
even with your ex, And.

Speaker 6 (01:01:35):
That's like the question there, but for your your kids benefit,
they're going to benefit more from having their dad around. Yeah,
and so there's there's a way you could be honest
and I have to lie while also not telling all details.

Speaker 1 (01:01:49):
Well that means she did actually admit the fact that
he's a good father but just a sucky husband.

Speaker 6 (01:01:56):
Right, Yeah, so that's I'm sure.

Speaker 1 (01:01:58):
My feeling is if he's in sucky husband, the kids
will find out soon enough.

Speaker 6 (01:02:03):
Yeah, I guess, yeah, you know, because then.

Speaker 1 (01:02:06):
They'll grow up to be teenagers and then they'll start
connecting all the dots.

Speaker 6 (01:02:12):
Yeah yeah, well, yeah, they'll they'll connected eventually, and when
they're older, maybe you could be more honest about things
that they really need to know, right, But yeah, I
don't know for now, like with their young protector innocence
where you can yeah, you know, they've already lost some
of it, I think because of this sad but you

(01:02:32):
want to protect whatever you can that's left. I've got more,
asked Pancho. They say, help, Should we let our son's
girlfriend sleep over?

Speaker 3 (01:02:40):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (01:02:41):
Boy, dear Pancho, Yeah, my son is a senior in
high school. He and his girlfriend have been dating for
two years. They recently came to me and asked if
she could start sleeping over. At first I thought they
were joking, but they're not. My husband and I are
discussing it and have no idea what to say or do.
My what would you do if you were? Is there

(01:03:01):
a good idea? My husband says it's a good idea
because we can watch over them. Yeah, will you be
able to watch over them all the time? Like you're
gonna fall asleep at some point and like yeah. He
also says it's a bad it's a bad idea because
it could lead to other problems. Wink wink. Yeah, well, yeah,
obviously high school sleepovers or not. I know others are

(01:03:25):
doing it. Well, that's a problem others are doing It
has nothing to do with what you should do and
what makes it right or wrong? Right? Yeah, so what
would I do? Answers Obviously, No, if you're gonna move out,
I can't tell you what to do.

Speaker 1 (01:03:38):
No, No, you need to have fun with this, because I'm.

Speaker 6 (01:03:43):
Thinking, well, I'm saying, why don't you go to the
girls mom and dad and ask them, Hey, your day?

Speaker 1 (01:03:50):
Would like to know.

Speaker 6 (01:03:51):
If she could sleep over at our place.

Speaker 1 (01:03:53):
Well, my dad would say, you know, there's the Texas
Motel you can sleep at.

Speaker 6 (01:03:58):
You know, do you want.

Speaker 1 (01:04:00):
He already told me right off the bat, if I
had a girl that's gonna come over, he said, he
just you're I'm not even gonna get to sleep there.
He said, you can go to the Texas Hotel and
do there. No what honestly, clock yeah, right exactly, I would.
I would say to the Sun, sure, bring your girlfriend

(01:04:22):
over and let her sleep over, but you both have
to sleep in our bedroom and see what he says.

Speaker 6 (01:04:29):
That would be uncomfortable.

Speaker 1 (01:04:32):
I know that's the problem they would, but but just
for the shock value, you know, and just say, yeah,
if you're to do, you've got to sleep in our
bedroom so we can be in there with you. Honestly,
even if we were asleep, do you really think that
he would risk doing anything hanky panky on the risk
of waking up Mom and Dad?

Speaker 6 (01:04:53):
Not at all, though.

Speaker 1 (01:04:54):
Yeah, honestly, I just think I'd be a that'd be
I would have fun with it.

Speaker 6 (01:04:59):
You could also replace their their mattress or like you know,
box spring or like the bed frame with something that
is really squeaking, so that way, like nothing will be
able to happen without it being broadcasting.

Speaker 1 (01:05:16):
Excellent, an old old rusty spring bed, you know, right,
that would be outstanding. But but no, no, no, I
mean honestly, I mean put a palette on the floor
so that you guys can sleep on the floor, and
that that would be That would be just that to me,
that'd be just to look at the look on their
faces would be precious, would be fantastic. Yeah, going a head,

(01:05:39):
if you want to do a little hanky panky, do
it right here in mom and Dad's bedroom, right here,
right next to us. You know that that would definitely
put the chill on the on the passion.

Speaker 6 (01:05:51):
Yeah, certainly. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:05:54):
See, look, you've got to learn to be creative, you know.
With the kids. You know, it's like you have to
call their bluff and then take it up a notch because.

Speaker 6 (01:06:06):
Yeah, I guess if you sit down the rules, they're
going to just find a way to get around it
in Google doc.

Speaker 1 (01:06:11):
Well yeah right, see that's it, and just say you know,
because honestly, most kids are expecting the parents to say no,
you see, but when you say yes, but then you
put a condition on it, that really puts a twist
to the whole thing, see because.

Speaker 6 (01:06:30):
Because they can't be like, uh, you know, well you said.

Speaker 1 (01:06:33):
No, like yeah, so so I mean really so, I mean,
you know you got two sons right now, say, and
you know they're going to be conniving to do some
things later on, right you know, they get into so
you've got to be one step ahead of them. See
so that's uh, oh yeah, I I I would pull
stuff like this was with my boys all the time,

(01:06:55):
you know, and and uh it would be instantaneously they
would say no, we're not, we're not, and they would
be the one to refuse the offer, you know. The Yeah,
that's what you gotta have to do. It's kind of
trying to get you to, you know, be excited about
playing insane games. You know, you just have to kind
of work it up and you know, work it in

(01:07:17):
there somehow, you know.

Speaker 6 (01:07:19):
Yeah, you know what, these new insane games at least
they haven't gotten the better be yet.

Speaker 1 (01:07:25):
Well exactly maybe one day they don't. They don't insult
your intelligence as much, do they.

Speaker 6 (01:07:31):
Man, I didn't have so much back and forth and
like I'm playing three D chests and I'm like no, no, checkers. No,
just regularly like I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:09:05):
It's time to play Eric Leane's insane game Trip, starring
his insane Florida nephew, punch A Wede. These definitely are
are interesting because you never know what way they're going
to go, but once in a while you actually can
can nail it. So, but all of this stuff we
have now, these are this is all true statistics, and

(01:09:29):
you have to figure out what we're talking about. Here.
We've got five mind menders. You get at least three clues.
It's the ideal thing is to get it without any clues.
But the object is to get it without with as
few clues as possible. All right, so we we we've
got our first mind bender here. So are you are you?

(01:09:50):
Has has the fast affected your cognitive abilities? Here?

Speaker 6 (01:09:54):
Oh? Well, I've got food to be now, so.

Speaker 1 (01:09:58):
So you've at least got an enough blood flow to
the brain that you can be able to work through
some of these.

Speaker 6 (01:10:03):
All right, So that's I think, So that's good.

Speaker 1 (01:10:05):
All right, all right, well here's our first mind bender.
All right, and remember you have to consider all the elements.
We have a percentage and we have you know, the situation,
and you have to consider that, okay, in the answer,
So your first mindbnder. Twenty nine percent of people say
this is the most annoying sound? What is it?

Speaker 6 (01:10:31):
This is the most annoying sound? Well, twenty dumber says
is the most annoying sound in the world, which is
what twenty six percent, say twenty or twenty nine percent? Okay, well,
I mean the dumb and dumber is something along the
lines of, hey, did they go on about like a

(01:10:52):
whole minute for it?

Speaker 1 (01:10:53):
That's right, Well, that might be a good clue.

Speaker 6 (01:10:59):
But well, I'm gonna say whining.

Speaker 1 (01:11:03):
Whining, that's an interesting sound, but that that would not
be that would not be the most annoying sound. But
the clue is not their partner, not their part So
I guess that would kind of like eliminate the whining
if your partners a lot.

Speaker 6 (01:11:23):
Yeah, I said, that's sometimes thinking like along the lines
of like what a parent, because that's the way, like, yeah,
the most annoying sounds we get are the wines.

Speaker 1 (01:11:30):
Yes, yes, no reason. Well, and so what you do
is when the kids are whining, you just say, sorry, yeah,
I don't speak Whineese.

Speaker 6 (01:11:38):
That's what you say.

Speaker 1 (01:11:39):
Yeah, that's right, that's right, don't I don't speak Whinese.

Speaker 6 (01:11:43):
I'm gonna say, then, if it's not whining, I'm going
to say the most annoying noise. It's not like like
the sound of nails on a chalkboard. Is it?

Speaker 1 (01:11:52):
H Is that what you think it is?

Speaker 6 (01:11:56):
Let's go for it.

Speaker 1 (01:11:57):
Yeah, well that's not all right. Your next clue, dogs
may be scared of it.

Speaker 6 (01:12:06):
Dogs may be scared of it. Oh is it the
the beep on like a fire alarm.

Speaker 1 (01:12:13):
Oh well, that's high pitch. That was kind of drive
the dog's nuts. But that's not it. Your final clue, liquid.

Speaker 6 (01:12:23):
Liquid and dogs might be.

Speaker 1 (01:12:26):
Twenty of the people say this is the most annoying sound,
not their partner. Dogs may be scared of it, and.

Speaker 6 (01:12:33):
Liquid liquid the most annoying sound. What would dogs be?
It sound like a high pitched thing.

Speaker 1 (01:12:39):
Right, well, I mean you know you actually kind of
were there with the dumb and dumber thing.

Speaker 6 (01:12:48):
Yeah, well is it a tea kettle?

Speaker 1 (01:12:51):
Oh wow, that's a whistle. But yeah, Now the actual
answer is blender.

Speaker 6 (01:12:58):
Oh blender, Yeah that okay, Well, definitely, my dog likes
the bark at the blenders. I didn't never thought about
the blender as being annoying. It most annoying noise?

Speaker 1 (01:13:10):
It does?

Speaker 6 (01:13:11):
It really is.

Speaker 1 (01:13:12):
It is kind of annoying for me. I can promise
you that. All right. All right, well that was that
was a good, good way to warm up. All right,
you're next, mind bender. Okay, this one has twenty percent.
Twenty percent of people keep this for sentimental reasons. What
is it? Okay, twenty percent of people do this.

Speaker 6 (01:13:35):
They keep this for sentimental reasons. Is it their kid's
baby teeth?

Speaker 1 (01:13:40):
Oh my gosh, you're kidding keeping the baby teeth?

Speaker 6 (01:13:43):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (01:13:44):
I don't think we have our kids baby teeth. No,
now is that baby teeth?

Speaker 6 (01:13:48):
But it's it have to be a low percentage, but yeah,
a real thing.

Speaker 1 (01:13:52):
Yeah, yeah, so your your first clue. Everyone has them,
and I'm sure we all have teeth, but it's not
it's not deep. Everyone has everyone has them. Twenty percent
of people keep this for sentimental reasons.

Speaker 6 (01:14:11):
And everyone has them. That this is tough.

Speaker 1 (01:14:17):
Here, maybe not so much if you know what you're
what you're thinking about.

Speaker 6 (01:14:24):
Yeah, sentimental reasons.

Speaker 1 (01:14:29):
Everyone has them.

Speaker 6 (01:14:32):
Oh man, what do you keep that? Everyone has?

Speaker 1 (01:14:39):
I've got a few myself.

Speaker 6 (01:14:41):
Actually, yeah, I'm thinking. I mean people will collect things.
It's how twenty percent? It's pretty low. Do they collect
like bottles or bottle caps?

Speaker 1 (01:14:54):
Oh, that's interesting, that's true. Not necessarily a collector kind
of thing. Out we're not talking about picks or selfies.
That's your next clue, not picks or selfies. But everyone
has them, and twenty percent of people keep these for
keep this for sentimental reasons.

Speaker 6 (01:15:14):
All right, Oh man, I'm not doing too hot on
this turn around. All right? No pictures, no pictures, selfie
collect right.

Speaker 1 (01:15:29):
Right, everyone has them.

Speaker 6 (01:15:31):
Everyone has them.

Speaker 1 (01:15:32):
And of people keep this for sentimental reasons.

Speaker 6 (01:15:37):
Keep it for sentimental reasons.

Speaker 1 (01:15:43):
I would be going to bet you might even have one.

Speaker 6 (01:15:47):
I want to say, their childlike sense of wonder, but
I'm kidding. Oh man, is it like their old license plate?

Speaker 1 (01:16:02):
Oh I never thought about that. That's good, but it's
not that your final clue. Appearance appearance. Yes, twenty percent
of people keep this for sentimental reasons. Everyone has them,
not picture selfies and appearance.

Speaker 6 (01:16:21):
Hmmm, so appearance related. That's helpful.

Speaker 1 (01:16:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:16:32):
What do you keep for sentimental reasons?

Speaker 1 (01:16:35):
Maybe you don't have something?

Speaker 6 (01:16:37):
Do you keep, like like clothes that you know kids
closed or close that when you were a baby, like
like when you're born or something.

Speaker 1 (01:16:48):
Right, is exactly correct, It is close, It is close? Okay,
So and so yes, I've got T shirts I've kept
for a long time.

Speaker 6 (01:16:58):
So there you go I could believe that. Yeah, yeah,
I mean I remember, like there's a couple like a
little hat. I think that they gave us at the
hospital when our.

Speaker 1 (01:17:06):
Born, right, right, exactly? Do you have any of your
own clothes that you've kept for sentimental reasons?

Speaker 6 (01:17:12):
No? No, really, Yeah, there's nothing I have that's sentimental
back clothes.

Speaker 1 (01:17:17):
Interesting, Okay, I kind of thought you made you have
these one all right, all right, two pretty tough mind menders.
Here your third mind bender, this one. The percentages are
slightly higher. Thirty one percent of people say they have
to have this with their breakfast every day day. How

(01:17:39):
much percentage thirty one percent, so still have to have
still fairly still, fairly low.

Speaker 6 (01:17:46):
Yeah, I'm going to say it's not coffee, because that
would be a much higher.

Speaker 1 (01:17:49):
Yeah, well that would that would actually be your first clue.

Speaker 6 (01:17:54):
Yeah, I'm already not saying coffee.

Speaker 1 (01:17:56):
Orange juice, Yeah, orange juice. People have to have orange juice. Huh,
not quite No, So it's not coffee. So we'll give
you a second clue.

Speaker 6 (01:18:08):
Sweet sweet, Hm. They have to have this.

Speaker 1 (01:18:17):
They have to have it. It's like there is no
other option. Some people. Yeah, and I'm sure some people
might have it, but some people, they say thirty one percent,
say they have to have it. It's a it's a priority,
not coffee and sweat.

Speaker 6 (01:18:34):
And it's not orange juice. I mean, I would say
orange juice is sweet too, hmmm.

Speaker 1 (01:18:44):
I mean, we'll think about what most people have for breakfast,
you know, in general. I mean.

Speaker 6 (01:18:54):
I'm saying like jam or I mean, you can say donut,
but I can't imagine having a donut with every breakfast. Yeah,
that's too much. So I'm gonna say, I guess jam jam, like,
we'll give it to you.

Speaker 1 (01:19:15):
It's not a liquid, that's your last one. But the
answer is fruit. Okay, so jam is usually made from fruit.
So we'll we'll, we'll give it to you.

Speaker 6 (01:19:25):
This makes a lot of sense.

Speaker 1 (01:19:26):
Actually, yeah, it does, because my mother used to have
a grapefruit every single morning. She had she that was
her part of her She'd have cereal and she'd have
a grapefruit. Some people have oranges, some people have strawberries
or something like that. Yeah. So yeah, all right. Interesting.
Now here's one our fourth mind bender. This is a
very low percentage seven percent. Interesting that this is coming

(01:19:52):
up considering what we've talked about. Seven percent of people
have stolen this from a hotel room.

Speaker 6 (01:20:01):
What is Oh man, I've stolen this, I've stolen I
mean I'm gonna say towels.

Speaker 1 (01:20:07):
Oh man. Do you think that seven percent of people
would do that?

Speaker 6 (01:20:12):
That's a low percentage.

Speaker 1 (01:20:13):
Yeah, I think more people have stolen towels. I tell you, no,
you're so your first clue.

Speaker 6 (01:20:22):
Bathroom, bathroom. Okay, it can't be sent to alarm clocks.

Speaker 1 (01:20:30):
That's No one's stealing Gideon Bibles either.

Speaker 6 (01:20:33):
I'd always I was like, I don't think that's gonna
be what people are stealing. Yeah, in the bathroom.

Speaker 1 (01:20:42):
Toilet paper, yeah, yes, toilet paper rolls. People have stolen that.
So your other clues were not a robe, not soaper,
shampoo of course, now the hotels have got the soap
and shampoo like strapped into like a little area. They
have a little pump pump bottles. You've seen those now,

(01:21:04):
So you can't you can't take the shampoo because it's
all locked in like a pump bottle thing. All right,
So that was good. So you're you're sort of like tied. Okay,
you've kind of got to you didn't get into you
did get so here's your fifth one. See if you
can do best? You know, three out of five out
of here? All right? Fourteen percent of people say that

(01:21:28):
this is their least favorite thing to clean in their home.
What is it?

Speaker 6 (01:21:36):
The least favorite thing? Is it their bathroom?

Speaker 1 (01:21:40):
That is a good end. Your first clue is not
their toilet?

Speaker 6 (01:21:46):
All right?

Speaker 1 (01:21:48):
Fourteen yeah? Fourteen percent say this is their least favorite
thing to clean in their house.

Speaker 6 (01:21:56):
Least favorite thing to clean in their house.

Speaker 1 (01:21:59):
And it's not their toilet.

Speaker 6 (01:22:02):
Is it their kitchen?

Speaker 1 (01:22:03):
Oh? Nice? Scan that No. Next clue is hanging hanging, hanging, Yes,
so it's not their toilet, and the next is hanging.
Fourteen people They say that's their least favorite thing to
have to clean. I would probably agree with this because

(01:22:25):
I don't like I don't like doing it.

Speaker 6 (01:22:30):
Let's see cleaning. Is it like cleaning their light fixtures
or something?

Speaker 4 (01:22:36):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (01:22:37):
That is bugs get stuck in there.

Speaker 1 (01:22:40):
Yeah, it's not light fixtures. You Your final clue is streaks, streaks?

Speaker 6 (01:22:47):
Oh? Is it cleaning the like the well? Picture frames?

Speaker 1 (01:22:54):
Oh, picture frames? Oh? Not picking. They don't like cleaning mirrors.

Speaker 6 (01:23:01):
Mirrors, that's the worst thing for them. Just mirrors.

Speaker 1 (01:23:04):
Fourteen percent of people say that it's the least favorite
thing to clean because.

Speaker 6 (01:23:08):
It's like our way worse things.

Speaker 1 (01:23:11):
Well, but no, no, no, when you when you spray,
the wind decks on there and you have to keep
wiping and you got all those streaks and you can't
have to keep wiping and wiping and wiping all the time,
you know, and finally you get it all clean. It
just takes something.

Speaker 11 (01:23:26):
Yeah, I've always just I never like cleaning the mirrors
because it just seems like you have to I kind
of just do one wipe and it's clean, but it doesn't.

Speaker 1 (01:23:36):
It just streaks it. You know. You got to keep
wiping it and keep it all, you know, so to
get it to crystal clear so there's no no streaks
on it, you know. Ye So yeah, yeah, so I've
had to and see in our bathroom, behind our tub,
we have like one of those mirrors that's like the

(01:23:57):
entire back wall. It's not like just like a regular
like a regular mirror you're gonna have like for your
medicine cabinet or something like this. This this is one
that covers like mounted on the wall and you got
to reach up and you got to go like up
and down I'm like doing calisthenics to clean the mirror,
and I I just don't like it because it just

(01:24:17):
seems like I'm never going to get all these streaks
wiped up, you know, I've got to keep these when I.

Speaker 6 (01:24:23):
Think about the size of like the mirror that you
have in your Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:24:27):
But still, I mean, you still have to keep wiping it,
you know, but to keep the streaks. And you want
everything to disappear, you know, you want to like totally
you know, you know, anything obstructing the mirror. You know,
you want to be a nice clean mirror, you know.
So yeah, I I totally am am on board with that.
I I am not a big mirror cleaner, you know.

(01:24:50):
So apparently you don't do much cleaning in the house.

Speaker 6 (01:24:52):
Do you. My wife does a lot of the cleaning. Yeah,
clean more and the and they're like, I will vacuum
the stairs.

Speaker 1 (01:25:01):
Oh yeah, vacuum.

Speaker 6 (01:25:02):
That's good.

Speaker 1 (01:25:03):
I don't mind vacuuming. Yeah, you know, but ask missus
Poncho if she really enjoys cleaning mirrors and see what
she says. I'd be interested. I would really be interested
to hear her answer on that. Yeah. All right, So
well we do have some pretty cool stories that are
starting to matriculate as I'm getting back into coming back

(01:25:27):
from our little week off or so. This is a
wild story, all right, and it's it's wild enough to
be stupid, but it comes from a family in Pennsylvania
and it's about a little cat named ray Ray and
Ray Ray decided to go on vacation with his family,

(01:25:50):
but the family didn't know it. Instead, they drove one
hundred miles with the cat hanging on to the luggage
rack on top of the car.

Speaker 6 (01:25:58):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (01:26:01):
So yeah, ray Ray was on top of the family van,
clinging for dear life as they drove one hundred miles
down the road and they stopped for gas and there
was ray Ray on top of the car, you know,
when they got out. So yeah, it's a great story.
And here's another one that's kind of crazy now you
know anymore more craziness and insanity from airlines between the

(01:26:22):
people that, like I said, snap the wrapper in the
middle of the flight. But have you heard about this?
There is an airline now that is now up charging
their customers if they want a seat that reclines.

Speaker 6 (01:26:36):
Really yeah, I mean the seats barely reclined.

Speaker 1 (01:26:39):
To begin with, right, exactly. So if you want a
seat that reclines, you got to pay more, all right,
And really, have you tried sitting in a seat that
does not recline? I mean I feel like, oh, it's
like I feel like I'm going to be humped over
like my grandmother when I get off the plane because
I just don't feel completely. It's just my back hurts everything,

(01:27:01):
all right. So but yeah, well that's coming out next week. Also,
here's one where we have a school therapist who actually
needs a therapist herself because she was arrested for stalking
and trying to poison her ex husband. So yeah, and
then I love this. We have a narcissist mom who

(01:27:21):
ruins her daughter's gender revealed to make it all about her.

Speaker 6 (01:27:27):
Oh man, yeah, I just what an awful mom.

Speaker 1 (01:27:30):
I know. I love it when you've got And of course,
you know, the couple was completely clueless because you know,
they didn't know themselves what the gender was going to be,
so it was pretty funny, all right. And then I
love this. This is another stupid criminal story. We got
a Florida man who stole seven thousand dollars in lottery tickets.
Then came back to the store to redeem them. So

(01:27:55):
you know, the same store, same store. So yeah, one
thousand dollars a lottery tickets and did all that scratching
and tried to redeem the tickets at the store that
he sold them from. All right, all right, and here's
something I'm sure you probably will not be getting missus
poncho for Christmas. But it's a new line of clothing
from Kim Kardashian. Okay, yeah, she has released a new

(01:28:21):
line of clothing. It's underwear with faux pubic hair.

Speaker 6 (01:28:26):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 (01:28:29):
That and and of course they call it the Ultimate Bush.

Speaker 6 (01:28:34):
The Ultimate Bush.

Speaker 1 (01:28:35):
That's that's what they call it. All right, all right?
And then I love this. This is another crazy, crazy story.
And of course it had to happen out of New Jersey.
But you've been to those those checkout lines that they
just go slow and slower yet all right, Well, it
was a slow checkout line that caused a woman to
buy a knife and then stab another customer.

Speaker 6 (01:28:59):
With the knife you just bought, just bought.

Speaker 1 (01:29:02):
Yeah, so it's like wow, all right, and uh, then
we have another great story where we have a bloody
seven person brawl inside a water Burger in Texas that
got started over an order mix up. Dang, yeah, they
someone got the wrong order or or I guess one

(01:29:25):
person got another person's order. But the way it happened,
you almost want to say that it was due to
the way that the folks at the water Burger, the
way they did it, the way they told the people
about it, So yeah, it was it was crazy. Then
we have a new trend at your Starbucks. Okay. People

(01:29:45):
are now coming to Starbucks and asking their baristas to
put their drinks into carved pumpkins.

Speaker 6 (01:29:54):
Into carved pumpkin.

Speaker 1 (01:29:55):
Yes, they're going to the store and they're buying the
little small pumpk that you can get, you know, like,
and then they they carve them out and take them
to Starbucks and ask them to put their drinks in
the car pumpkin. So they had have their pumpkin spice
and a carved pumpkin. Okay, so not all Starbucks are
our game to do that, but some of them, some

(01:30:18):
of them are, And this is kind of crazy. We
have a fast food customer who's complaining about going to
a Panda Express and they noticed they got charged a
five percent Employee benefits surcharge on the receipt. That's right.

Speaker 6 (01:30:35):
I got panned on the way back from Legoland a
few weeks ago. I never checked the receipt.

Speaker 1 (01:30:40):
You might want to check that receipt now, that's right.
And this is another stupid story, for sure. We have
a parents. They're they're not Florida parents, but they were
in Florida. They're from Texas. They were vacationing in Florida
and they ended up getting arrested because they left their
baby alone on a bee each for almost an hour.

(01:31:01):
They say they just lost track of time.

Speaker 6 (01:31:03):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 (01:31:05):
Okay, all right, so and I love this story. I
love it whenever you have like turn about being fair play.
We've got police in Wisconsin. The officers there have turned
a toilet paper homecoming prank back onto the students, which
is pretty clever, all right. I got to give the

(01:31:26):
cops a for this, all right. So that's a good story.
And then we have a story where a driver was
fined for having a hand drawn license plate because they
lost their other way.

Speaker 6 (01:31:39):
I've got and frankly, as far as artistic was concerned,
it was actually pretty pretty good.

Speaker 1 (01:31:45):
It looked pretty good. Frankly, all right. And then here's
what I'm sure you're gonna love. Okay, and this is
from Indiana. I didn't it wasn't even a Florida story,
but we have an Indiana man who blamed flipping his truck.
He blamed that on a shop of copra that ran
out in the forest from.

Speaker 6 (01:32:04):
In front of him.

Speaker 1 (01:32:06):
Yeah. So he he had a dodge of shop of
capra flip this truck because of it. So so yeah,
that's just a few of the interesting stories that has
headed your way for you to pick for next week.
So it should be fun.

Speaker 6 (01:32:21):
I'm looking forward.
