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. It's a great bay stupid world.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
And feeling that creasy as it's well great stupid, gray, stupid,
way stupid. Welcome to insane Eric Lane's stupid world.

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

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Up 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 3 (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 neph you Poncho 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. You know, as a kid, I remember

(01:12):
Friday nights football in the fall. Now, I never in
high school, never really paid a lot of attention to
the game itself, unless, of course, the whole stands broke
out in screaming cheers and carrying on. This sort of thing.
And my hometown it's like three thousand people. So when
the high school football team had their game at the

(01:33):
home game, you could probably loot the entire town because everybody,
all three thousand people were at that game. I was
under the bleachers, playing with my friends and eating tangy
taffy and running around and doing stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Every once in a while, I'll, you know, take a
look at the game. Sometimes i'll you know, sit in
the band section listen to the band play. But you know,
then of course, you know that Sunday we'd all go
to church and talk about the football game, or like
on Senior Sunday, the football senior football players would get
the front row seat and be honored in a place

(02:10):
in church. Or if we went into over, like we
went to games out of town or to the playoffs,
my church would have their what thirty five seat bus
loaded up. They would you know, put the word out,
you know, if you want a free ride to the
football game out of town or the playoffs, come to
the local Baptist church and get on the bus and

(02:32):
you can go. I mean, it was big, and now
I understand why.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
I ought to give you a piece of my mind.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
There's a study that found a notable link between religious
attendance and support for youth tackle football. I'm wondering who
decided to tie these two things together. Now. This research
finds that people who attend religious services more frequently are

(03:08):
more likely to tackle to view tackle football as an
appropriate activity for children. What are they trying to say here, Well,
the finding suggests religious beliefs might influence perceptions of youth
sports participation, including contact sports like football. Other researchers behind
this new study sought to explore how religiosity might influence

(03:32):
adult attitudes toward youth tackle football. Oh well, it definitely
had some attitude, all right. Oh yeah. The idea for
this inquiry stemmed from the observation that football and religious
belief often overlap in American life. Well, it certainly did
for me growing up. Not only do many athletes and
fans openly express the religious faith, which many of my

(03:55):
friends did, but churches frequently serve as community hubs that
promote traditional masculine ideals aligned with sports culture, which my
church did. As the authors note, for some believers, playing
football might even be seen as a way of glorifying God.
You know, when they you know, make that touchdown and

(04:16):
run circles in the end zone and lift that finger
up into the air pointing to the heavens. Right, yeah,
we'll given this backdrop. I guess the study aim to
assess whether religious involvement and well specific religious affiliations are
associated with greater support for children playing tackle football. I mean,
like my hometown Southern Baptist church. They would pack that

(04:37):
church bus take all those kids to the high school
football team, to the playoffs and out of town games. Remember,
even Protestants showed the highest level of support, of course,
with over half expressing agreement the tackle football is suitable
for children that'll toughen them up. Catholics and other Christians
also express more support than atheists, Agnostics, and well even

(04:59):
those of fel with Judaism or other religions. These patterns
actually lended some support to the idea that Christian traditions,
well particularly Protestantism, are closely tied to favorable views of football.
I dare you to do your own research on this
and see what you come up with. Okay. The researchers

(05:21):
are examined also examined how these relationships vary across social groups,
particularly by the race and education levels. So the study
highlights how cultural and religious factors can shape attitudes towards
children's involvement in physically demanding activities.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Well.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
These researchers suggest that frequent religious service attendance could foster
beliefs in God's providence, which might lead some people who
view that dangers of football is manageable or even necessary,
tests of faith their character. Because the Lord is with
our football team. I mean, you know, you've seen the
team get together and pray together. You've seen stories of

(05:58):
the coach, you know, go out to the middle of
the football field and pray and all this kind of thing.
It is an interesting thing. I've never really tied football
and Jesus together, you know. It is kind of fascinating,
and I'm not really sure how it ties together, you know,

(06:18):
but I know this that, you know, we certainly enjoy
coming together on Sunday morning in Sunday school and talking
about the parting of the Red Sea and how the
hometown team had a wide chasm between the winning score
and the losing score. You know, I'm open to talking

(06:49):
about anything but love, talking about surviving in the stupidity
that's always around us, and if you're insane enough to ask, well,
I'm insane enough to reply. Would love to hear from you.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
Eric Lane.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
For man for man, catch Magator in the test came
into it.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
No one can come on now for man, you do
different street into the.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
Swamp and let him man come on now for man,
oh man. Yes, indeed, it's been another great week and
we're back from Jacksonville, Florida. Pacha, weto mind st Florida.
And if you let me ask you, Pancho, do you
like football?

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Uh? Well, I was gonna jump in with something else here,
but I'm neither for nor against football.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
Okay, So you wouldn't mind if you wouldn't mind if
your kids decided they wanted to play tackle football.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
I played tackle football for okay.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
So so so then then based upon the latest research
saying you must go to church every Sunday.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Well I yes, I do go to church every Sunday.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
Well, there you go. Then you prove it my point.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
And if you go to my church, you're likely going
to hear my pastor heavily talk about the Georgia Bulldogs
and any given any given given week.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
So that's good. I have never ever put together, uh
going to church regularly and you know, playing tackle football,
but apparently somebody has, so.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
It makes sense to be I well, for pestilence has
trodden on my land again.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
Oh no, oh no, tell me if you didn't get
bit by the passa. I did you know?

Speaker 2 (09:45):
I did go? Uh? I squared off with this thing
earlier this week.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
Though No, I no picture.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
I did, didn't have my phone on me. I had
to bury yet another squirrel. Oh no, yesterday. No, it's
pretty yard, prett yard. I kind of close to the
first squirrel I had to bury, like four or five

(10:14):
years ago. I had to bury a squirrel. And I
don't feel I say had to. I don't feel good
about like just throwing it in the trash doesn't seem right,
and I'm not like I've got a big enough backyard.
I don't. I mean, what I should do is throw
it over to the neighbor's yard where all he feeds
off the stray cats. But like in my mind, I

(10:35):
was thinking, like I don't know, So I kind of like,
I get out the spade and I just kind of
go to an area that doesn't grow grass very well,
and I like, I dig a little hole and say
a few words for the squirrel. So I bury a squirrel.
That's my second squirrel I buried. I buried a raccoon,
and we're two squirrels out, and I just keep thinking

(10:58):
why couldn't it have been the awesome instead? Yeah, or
even even the cats. I would have been fine with
that too.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
Yeah, okay, yeah, but yeah, well, at least you get
the healthiest trees in the neighborhood.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
I'll bet I've got you have some pretty big oak trees.
I I don't know. Look, I get my catt a
hard time, but I don't know what cats are good
for other than the hiding in your underwear war and
in biting you when you go for a fresh pair
around underwear after mowing the lawn.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
I say, I say, okay, all right, I understand, you know.
And it's funny that you're saying that now, you know,
because obviously we had Chinese food tonight.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Well okay, well, what are you trying to say about
Chinese food, Eric.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
I'm just saying. I'm just it's maybe it's a correlation,
maybe it's not. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
So I have you had real Chinese food like dim sum?

Speaker 3 (11:54):
Well, I've had food prepared by Chinese that involves rice.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Okay, Well, dim sum is like that's like that's where
you can get actual like chicken feed and and uh
oh my gosh, century kanji and stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
Yeah, No, I'm not. I'm not into like, yeah, that's right.
I'm not into the Indonesian freak foods there, you know. No,
not not into that.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
And the sum is like actual traditional Chinese food, not
not the San Francisco American stuff that you kind of
get break out. Yeahesia, it's different, man, you know, it's
all Asia. But I guess Indian food is delicious.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
Well, I love Indian food now that much. I love
anything you can see it with curry. I'm there, I
love I like that. Yeah. I I had friends in
college that were uh from India. And what's the other one,
Kashmir is at the area around India. Yeah. But man,
I mean when spent when it's cooking, it smells so good. Yeah.

(13:01):
And I've been like in their apartments when they're cooking
it up, and I'm like, oh my gosh, this is
so wonderful.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Rumor. I don't know if this is Maybe someone can
leave a comment and and let me know if it's
if it's true. I've heard a rumor that the Indian
family is like like an Indian mom or something that
when they're looking for a house or an apartment or
something to live, they will basically like sprinkle some like
masala or curry or something like that on part of

(13:28):
the counter there and wipe it up just to steeve
is it clear or not? And if it leaves residue
or staying behind, and they're like nope, not for me really,
And then you're standing someone else's kitchen that you're not
gonna want to move into then, because you know, I've
heard this from a friend who's mom was Indian.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
Yeah, yeah, I've not. I've not heard. All I can
tell you about people from India and from the Arab
world is that they have no toilet paper in your bathroom.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Oh yeah, you're not supposed to shake hands with your
left fans.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
That's right. It's not smart. It's not not a good
not a good idea. It would be rude for them
and gross for you.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Oh yeah, oh man, Well like rude like how my
cat sits on my lap every night, purring away. She does,
I know it?

Speaker 3 (14:18):
I know, yeah, she she? I know what cats can
tell when you don't like them.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
They really can't, they really can.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
They said, they're always attached to the dad of the house.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
But I've always I've always believed if you can really,
if you can understand a cat, you can understand a woman.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
I've always I've always thought that not my woman.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
Well, but you know, cats can be finicky. They can
change their mind easily. One day they like you, one
day they don't.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
My dog woman Actually, well that would mean I could
call her, I could call her a choice word then
right right, Oh my gosh, I'm supposed to call her
that word.

Speaker 3 (15:05):
I'm not really sure that that that really is going
to that That comment landed about as good as the
cracker barrel rebrand.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
You know, I have made the joke with her before,
and uh now when the kids are around and uh
she she busted out laughing because she didn't see it coming.
And and uh she knows that I adore her son.
Yeah yeah, so yeah, you know I realized this week,

(15:36):
realized something about kids books. Okay, And I'm gonna send
you a picture. And I think that this should be
the podcast art of the.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
Mean I mean okay, instead of your new table.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Oh so, the table actually is done. The table, though,
is sitting in the garage waiting to fully cure. So
and Saturday morning I could bring it in. It's Thursday
night Saturday morning. We could bring it in. We'll clean it.
It looks beautiful.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
Well yeah, I've seen the preliminary pictures.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
Yeah, it doesn't do it justice. The garage is just
not right.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
Well right, all right.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
So so my youngest son, he loves Doctor Seuss books
different than older My older ones didn't care much for him.
But he loves Doctor Seuss books.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
And does he like green eggs and ham.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
We haven't done that one yet. We've got some of
the more basic ones all the time, twister ones.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
That's like the the the Ultimate Doctor it is.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
I should probably bring it out. We've got it in
a different bookshelf somewhere else. I see the bookshelf. We've
got a lot of these, like thicker cardboard books because
I don't want to like tear all the pages. He's
about to turn two, okay, but.

Speaker 3 (16:48):
Look then they cannot make books completely indestructible from children.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
He's torn up his own indestructible books before. His favorite
book right now for the last several months, or at least,
one of his favorites is hop on pop And I think.

Speaker 5 (17:03):
It's just because he could say and he goes he
goes hop on pop up on so you know, up
on pop and so I read a lot of hop
on Pop with him, and there's one particular page on
hop on Pomp.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
I'm sending it to you here. There's a particular page
here with with pets all right, so if you you
can look it up if it's a podcast or Pat
Pat they call him Pat. Got this guy standing there,
Pat Pat sat on the hat and you see him
sitting in a chair. There's a hat on a chair,

(17:39):
Pat Cat, Pat sat on cats. You know, now there's
a cat freaking out right right under about to be
sat on. And then Pat right, Pat sat on bats.
He's sitting on the on the baseball bat but the
long way right. You see the picture, so you know
you got like hamburger style and hot dog style like

(17:59):
this this bat is vertical, yes, And I cannot look
at this picture without just having this mental image of
the bat slowly sliding into his anus. And I wonder, like,
what what is doctor Sus thinking with this picture? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (18:17):
This this looks like, this looks like, uh, the outcome
of many of our.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Exactly is maybe this is maybe this is your fault,
not doctor Seus's fault. Well maybe maybe.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
Look, look, don't ever get the kid one of those
miniature bats at lack of ballpark or else he's going
to experiment with.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
Sure, I cannot. I can't look at this picture. So
hopefully you're looking at the picture of you whoever is listening,
because you imagine that slowly disappear in somewhere.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
Yeah, he's sliding down slowly. Yeah, right, I do see that.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
And so this got me kind of thinking, like, what
are the other books I'm reading to my son? Right?
So so if we go into another book that I
just I was reading with them just tonight. All right,
there's another doctor's book and uh, it's called the The
Shape of You, or maybe it's a Shape of Me

(19:14):
and other things. That's the shape of me and other stuff.
And at one page like the shape of Campbell's, the
shape of bees, the wonderful shape of back door keys.
Now why why is doctor why is he talking about
backdoor keys?

Speaker 1 (19:29):
Right?

Speaker 2 (19:29):
This is kind of give me another another sense of like.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
A lot of subtle yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
Right, and then we get into vegetables or veggies and underpants. Okay,
vegetables and underpants. You got these these vegetables like broccoli, celery,
like they're all like wearing different under underwear, right, and
you're like, oh, und these briefs suits underwear for you know,
and then like, you know, underwear for babies, and imaginally

(19:58):
like wait, babies don't wear underwear. Baby babies were diapers. Sorry,
babies have just baby carrot, baby corn like it crying
in their diapers because they want to wear underwear. And
I get that. They're like, oh yeah, you're trying to
like encourage them to potty train and get how old
are these vegetables because.

Speaker 3 (20:14):
Well he's either training him to potty train or teaching
to put broccoli in their shorts.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Well, well that or or like I mean, because like,
am I staring at like an adult broccoli man's underwear
standing in his underwear for my kids?

Speaker 3 (20:29):
Yeah? I don't know. Maybe you're overthinking doctor SEUs a little.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
Too well, this last one's not doctor but this last one, okay,
is I fool proof? All right? I think that this
last one certainly. There's a book that unfortunately my kids
like to read, and a little bit less of my
oldest but every once in a while, but my youngest
has not discovered the book. It's called The Happy Man
in This Dump Truck. Okay, Okay. First off, I don't

(20:57):
trust any grown man who is as happy as this
guy is. Okay, if you're a grown man, you're not
supposed to be that happy, enjoyful, okay, all right. And
then I don't really want to see a grown man
talk about how he gives it gives people a ride
in his dumper as well, all right, he says. He

(21:23):
he waves his people and he's he's oh, you're my friend,
I wave and he tips the dumper back right, and
he picks up this pig and he's like, oh, there's
this pig on the side of the road. Now I
don't I'm wondering, like, is the pig an allegory for something?

Speaker 6 (21:36):
You know?

Speaker 3 (21:37):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (21:38):
And he gives the pig a ride in the back
of his dumper and the dumpy dump he waves to
someone as oh, there's my friend there, and he tips
the dumper back like he always does when he passes
a friend, and then the pig slides back like down
the dumper. He's oh, this is fun, and he says, hey, hey,

(21:58):
I've got some friends back at the farm. Can can
be in. So he's and now now dog and cats,
hen and rooster and you know, they like they're they're
all going for a riding the stumper. So this guy
has groomed this pig to now get him to get
other animals on the back of his dumper. And and

(22:18):
it says that he takes him for a long ride
before returning him to the farm. And this whole time,
this guy and the basis and they were very happy.
They were very and this.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
Whole very very happy because they're taking right on his dumper.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
That's that's what I'm saying, all right, I think, like
what am I reading here? I don't I certainly don't
trust the happy man in his dump truck.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
The guy. I'll come back, can.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
Show you a picture. He's a little bit of a
creepy dude. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (22:51):
I don't Yeah, yeah, okay, all right.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
So I have a picture of this guy to send
you as well. Oh so I'm trying to wonder what
kind of books, what.

Speaker 3 (23:04):
Of the library did you go to get this?

Speaker 2 (23:06):
That's what I don't even. I do not know they
in my house. I'm hoping that they're not old Messantian lore. Yeah,
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
I I yes, it sounds like sounds like that you
might be subtly infused, you know, based upon our first story. Today,
let's just hope you don't put brain implants in your
head and try to read those books, because the kids
are going to start hearing what you really think about them. Right,
Oh my goodness, you know that's that's that's hilarious.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
Oh I know. Here, I've got a I've got a
picture for you coming here of of this happy man, and.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
I'm getting I'm getting pictures, getting pictures of children's books. Now,
this is good, kind of beyond this. Now my kids
are in college and beyond.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
I wish, I wish I was beyond this.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
My mom refers to.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Certain books as living books. Right, my son was reading
about like an abmy and biology. My older one I
was reading it with.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
You know, it's even a gold interesting.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
It is one of those old ones. Yeah, I want
to read about anatomy and biology. It's more interesting, more fun.
And my wife puzzles living books so much more interesting
than the happy man and his dump trug that I
think he stopped going on.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
I think I think I've seen that little happy man
down by the river in a white van.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Oh yeah, he's uh, he looks he's too happy.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
To me, he definitely looks like he's a very happy man.
They certainly, you know, he's got the fun he's got
the five o'clock shadow to which is also kind of creepy.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
Oh, I know, here, here's the page. Actually, I just
found the page that really kind of agrees. He's just
got a weird shape to himself. He's got a weird
shaped body.

Speaker 3 (25:02):
I don't know, but yeah, yeah he does. He does
have a weird describe his body to me, Yeah, look,
look definitely looks like he's a little frumpy for sure,

(25:26):
I don't know. And the way and the way he's
kind of like holding his hips, yeah, like like like
he's really trying to hide something. I'm not really sure what,
but yeah, definitely you've got some some very interesting children's
books for your kids.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
Literature.

Speaker 3 (25:45):
Yeah, they're they're gonna they're probably gonna grow up now
and they're gonna have some subtle nuances in there. It
could have It could affect the marriage, I'm afraid, you know,
it can actually really affect the marriage, you know, with
the relationships now, you know, I don't know, as long
as they don't grow up to look like that, that
is true? Is that that is true.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
But yeah, yeah, we're all I'll be looking for some
living books to read here.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
Yeah, all right, all right, that's that's good. Well, it
definitely sounds like that. You I mean for my kids.
I think what we read my kids, what they really
liked was a good Night Moon. That was their favorite book.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Have you ever heard the Samuel L. Jackson version of
good Night Moon?

Speaker 3 (26:30):
No, just the idea of that would scare me.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
I'm afraid YouTube if you're not good with with copious
amounts of profanity.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
Oh well, if it's Samuel L. Jackson, we have had
a Samuel L. Jackson Alexa which was absolutely hysterial.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
Oh yeah, so that's probably gonna be pretty There are
a lot of f words, oh a lot. Yeah, funny.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
I've never heard alexas cust so much of my life
you get you.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
Get the good Night Oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
We put Samuel L. We put Samuel L. Jackson answering
our son, our Alexo. So that was a lot of fun. Yeah,
so I can only imagine what it's like for him
reading good Night Move definitely.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Well, if anyone listening here wants to put in wherever
or wherever, you could comment on Telegram. I guess on
what children's books are you finding in your house? That's
what I want to know.

Speaker 3 (27:24):
Yeah, the older they are, it seems the weirder they get,
you think, so you know, oh yeah, you get you
get something back published in the fifties and the sixties.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Yeah, okay, yeah, no, I get it. The older the book,
I think, like the older the kids are.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
You know, the older the book is, the weirder they are,
because there's some stuff that they some of the colloquialisms
and the things that they talked about back like in
the forties, fifties and sixties, and you put it, you
drop it intoday's culture. It's a little it's a little unsettled.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
Stranger danger wasn't a thing back in the forties.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
Yeah, that's right. Oh man. So well, hey, look I
am ready for Labor Day. We have got as oppressive
as the first two months of summer was here in Pennsylvania.
Just oppressively humid and hot and stifling. It's like Arkansas
crawled in bed with Pennsylvania, you know. And but but

(28:20):
it's going to end glorious. I mean, I'm probably gonnad
the entire Labor Day weekend in front of my fire pits.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Labor Day, in the metaphor that you described of Arkansas
crawling into bed with Pennsylvania, Labor Day is the big.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
Oh, that's right exactly. So it's giving it's going to
give birth to a wonderful weekend, all right. So oh yeah,
you can't wait. I'll be smelling. I'll be smelling like
smoke all weekend because I'm going to be out by
my fire pit.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
We have not had hardly a cloud in the sky.
It's been wonderful. We've had temperatures in the mid seventies
and night it's nice and cool, like about you know,
like a fifty three fifty four degrees at night. So
this is perfect weather for me right here. Of course,
if it was your mother, she'd be absolutely frozen stiff
because it's too cold for her.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
Yeah, it sounds about right. Yeah. I actually mowed the
lawn today and was well super hot in my cold
shower for five minutes as opposed to the whole so
it started to go I'm not gonna say cool down,
but it's started to not get as brutally hot as.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, which is nice. I'm definitely
looking forward to that. So, but for us, our week
was pretty you know, not not even for much at all. Actually,
we didn't really have much going on except my mother
in law is driving my wife up the wall. So
every time I come in, I asked her how is
your day, and she's like, I'm ready to kill my mother.

(29:53):
I'm ready to kill my mother. Yeah, it's the same
thing every day.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
You know, one of these days she's gonna eventually do snap.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
Yeah, yeah, just snap, I know. So the problem is
sy It'll probably be better next week because school has
started and so she'll be out of the house for
most of the day. See, the problem is what she's
been home all day. She's already said this is quoting
her words, the summer from hell, because her mother has

(30:23):
followed her around. Can I get you this? Do you
want to sit here?

Speaker 2 (30:26):
Do you need to do this?

Speaker 3 (30:27):
And it's like, mother, I can I can take care
of myself. I don't need you to look after me.
So that's what it's been like all summer.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
And she's like my five year old that follows us
around the house and pretty much pretty much always having
to be in the middle of it. Yeah, yep, I
broke down this week and bought my wife the first
pumpkin spice creamer of the season. Already you know what
I did too.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
I found it on sale for two dollars and thirty
nine cents, and I said, it's time, pupkin spice is here.
I was ready, my pumpkin.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
I was ready for you to make fun of me
for this. Instead, both of us can in tears we
admit how we how weak we are.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
That's right, that's right. And now what I have not
done yet is given in to the dirty soda creamer.
Have you seen that?

Speaker 2 (31:17):
But what even no, I've never heard of that.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
I guarantee, of course.

Speaker 6 (31:22):
You know.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
Now when you go to the grocery store, you've got
fifty seven varieties of everything used to. You go to
the store, you found what you want, You go home.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
Now you go to the store, I'm going to stop
you to give you a warning that you're starting to
sound really old at the moment. I know, I know.

Speaker 3 (31:37):
But you go in now and there's at least fifty
different varieties of the same product. All right, So I'm
looking for just cheap creamer. I use it at work.
I don't need anything super fancy. I just want something
that I can put in the coffee. I don't even
buy the best coffee. I get store brand coffee at work. Okay,
I say the Tim Horton's the good stuff when I
come home. So I'm at the store, I'm looking to

(31:59):
find that the cheapest creamer. And I look up and
I find this creamer in the coffee creamer section. Meant
to go into an orange crush soda. Pop. Oh, it's
like it's like an orange cream dirty soda creamer by
coffee mate, and you pour it in orange crush soda.

(32:19):
It says that right on the bottle. I'm like, you've
got to be kidding me. We're now putting coffee creamer
in soda. Yeah, and they call it a dirty They
call it a dirty soda.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
A dirty soda. Yeah, so this is how they call it,
like a dirty orange crush or dirty orange.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
But now, now, now, who's sounding like an old man? Okay,
come on, you gotta be hip, you gotta be drinking.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
No, I don't don't. I don't drink soda to begin with.
So yeah, let alone like, let's add more fat and
sugar to the stud.

Speaker 3 (32:52):
Okay, so yeah, we give give that to missus poncho
and said this is the new trend. They're now putting
coffee creamer in.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
So soda drinkers here.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
Well, that that I'm sure that would certainly send all
the dietitian in her or the nutritionists in her off
the Richter scheme.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
Well, the nutritionists in her that says everything in moderation.
So you can have something like that, but probably don't
go and have a bunch of other stuff that day either,
and maybe with food on your stomach as opposed to right.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
Right, But but I I'm and they've got they've got
creamers that you you put in doctor pepper, and they
have this is to be used with doctor pepper. I'm like,
this is just I don't know what to make of this.
I really don't. I just I just find it utterly confusing.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
I'll I'll still take my black coffee and freshly grown
the beans, and I do a little pour over.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
Right if I If I do the black coffee, and
may as well just drink hot water from me. I mean,
it's the same thing, so I tried.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
It wouldn't be If you next time that you're down Florida,
I will I will make you a pour over with
the right kind of filter and black coffee. At least
try a sip, and I guarantee you will taste notes
of like cherry and other kind of things.

Speaker 3 (34:12):
I'm pretty sure I will, but it'll probably I'll probably
gagging over the bitterness over.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
To it cuts the right filter like a paper, like
a wood kind of paper filter, andover actually catches a
lot of the oils that caused the bitterness in there,
so you actually kind of get like a more of
the notes like fruity and nutty notes in the coffee.

Speaker 3 (34:34):
Then I'm gonna I'm gonna hold you to that. Okay.
You try to convince me with kale, so now you're
gonna conness black coffee.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
I think that I've earned the salts that I you
know I'm throwing there. I've heard I've earned your trust
in this.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
Yeah, I will at least give it a try and
give it, give you a running chance, Okay, But I'm
coming at it with a skeptical mind.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
I want you to know that.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
Yeah, kind of like kind of like whenever my when
my son offered me my first yingling, and I'm thinking
this is going to be bitter and nasty, but I
was pleasantly surprised.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
You know, I let my wife I try an ip
a the other week. Well more I let her. I'm
always trying to see, you know, if she will. And
and finally I kind of like had her smell when
she's like, she smells pretty good. It was like a
like a strong ip at that. So she actually was
like I was joking when I said that. She actually
I'll try to sip. She tried to sip and she

(35:31):
was like that's not bad. Actually, yeah, So okay, yeah,
all right, I've got right now that I'm enjoying.

Speaker 3 (35:39):
So still I've still got some of my my forty
eight percent proof of forty eight percent whiskey. I'm still
sipping on here making this stuff last.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
That was right, That's that's so well. Hey, look, welcome
to the podcast. That's a ton of small talk and
about how dumb cats are and possums and and squirrels
and kids pedophiles. Uh yeah, well we've got seven headlines

(36:09):
this week as as normal, and each.

Speaker 3 (36:13):
One of which you have you you have scooped the
cream off the top.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
Yes, that's what you've done, the cream off the top
of the orange, dirty orange.

Speaker 3 (36:24):
Rush and dirty soda, and.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
Its as good as it's gonna get okay. So and
these are all real stories. Best part about So I
don't know about this, right, uh? I I used to
have the problem. What was the way I worded this?
I I used to have the problem.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
Did not have good filters?

Speaker 2 (36:50):
I did not. So the problem I have now is
that sometimes my my my mind is like two steps
ahead of where my mouth is, and so it'll start
to But but if you were to rewind, I don't know,
ten or fifteen years probably yeah, that's about right. Then
it was the other way around. My mouth was two

(37:11):
steps ahead of where my mind was, and that was
a bad thing because it got me into a lot
of trouble. So I don't really know what benefit that
this will serve society. But tell me you think it's
cool or dystopian. Brain implants can speak your mind even

(37:31):
when you don't want to. It could be dangerous, it
could be But I'm sure a lot of wives would
love this for their husband, though, But I will I
will reward that. I think a lot of wives think
that they would love this for their husband. Scientists at
Stanford created a brain implant that can read a person's

(37:52):
inner voice. The Silent thoughts you normally keep in your
head is.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
What are you thinking?

Speaker 2 (37:58):
Yeah, this is where everybody starts panicking. I almost doing
surgically implanted devices that allow paralyzed people to speak can
also eavesdrop on their inner monologue. That's the conclusion, at
least of a study of brain computer interfaces. That's BCIs
is what we're going to call it for the sake
of the rest of the story, Brain computer interfaces. This

(38:21):
is in the journal Cell. The finding could lead to
bcies that allow paralyzed users to produce synthesize speech more
quickly and with less effort. But the idea that new
technology can decode a person's inner voice is unsettling. Does
need a Farahanny. She's the professor of law and philosophy

(38:42):
at Duke University and author of the book The Battle
for Your Brain. Now, I think, like, what happens if
there's like a slight difference in interpretation and it says
the wrong thing, and you know, and you're like, like
the panic that shows up on someone's face as their BCI,
what of brain computer interface keep saying the wrong thing?

(39:02):
And they start to kind of like, right, there's something
incredibly embarrassing or something. BC eyes are able to decode
speech using tiny electroid arrays that monitor activity in the
brain's motor cortex, which controls the muscles involved in speaking.
Until now, those devices have relied on signals produced when
a paralyzed person is actively trying to speak a word

(39:25):
or sentence. Relying on signals produced when a paralyzed person
attempts speech makes it easy for that person to mentally
zip their lip and avoid over sharing, but it also
means they have to make a concerted effort to convey
a word or sentence, which can be tiring and at
times time consuming. So Kunz and a team of scientists

(39:47):
set out to find a better way by studying the
brain signals from four people who were already using BCIs
to communicate. The team wanted to know whether they could
decode brain signals that are far more subtle than those
produced by attempted speech. The team wanted to decode imagined
speech attempted. Like during attempted speech, a paralyzed person is

(40:09):
doing their best to physically produce understandable spoken words even
though they no longer can imagined or inner speech kind
of you know, your internal monologue or dialogue. The individual
merely thinks about a word or sentence, perhaps by imagining
what it would sound like. The team found that imagined

(40:32):
speech produces signals in the motor cortex that are similar to,
but fainter than those of attempted speech, and with help
from artificial intelligence, they were able to translate those those
fainter signals into words, which is wild wild right. Decoding
a person's inner speech made communication faster and easier for

(40:53):
the participants, but Kun says the success raised an uncomfortable question.
If inner speech each is similar enough to attempted speech,
could it unintentionally leak out when someone is using a BCI.

Speaker 3 (41:07):
Yeah, you know what your speech to leak?

Speaker 2 (41:09):
Right? I got gotta replace the brain gas get there
to make sure you keep those thoughts and there. The
research suggested it it could in certain circumstances, like when
a person was silently recalling a sequence of directions. So
the team tried two strategies to produce BCI users privacy.

(41:29):
To protect BCA users privacy, I'm sorry. At first, they
programmed the device to ignore inner speech signals. That worked,
but took away the speed and ease associated with to
coding inner speech, So Kun says the team borrowed an
approach used by a virtual assistance like Alexa and Siri,
which wake up only when they hear specific phrase, which

(41:51):
makes me wonder, can you, like, can you put like
a Samuel Jackson BCI on your and your zone?

Speaker 3 (42:00):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (42:00):
Well, we picked Chitty Chitty Bang Bang because it doesn't
occur too frequently in conversations, and it's highly identifiable, and
says that allowed participants to control when their inner speech
could be decoded. Even so, experts warned it raises big
questions about how to keep private thoughts truly private. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:22):
So basically, if somebody were to say chitty Chitty bang
bang it near you, you could just spill the beans.

Speaker 2 (42:28):
Basically, could I say Chitty Chitty bang bang and finally
find out if my wife is in the mood or not.

Speaker 7 (42:37):
That's a good question, man, oh man, that's I mean,
while it does sound good to help people with the
say brain damage where they can't talk, which is good,
I mean this it opens up a Pandora's.

Speaker 3 (42:54):
Box to so many other things.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
You know.

Speaker 3 (42:57):
I just wonder what the BCI were with this Florida
woman who was using super glue to fix people's teeth.
That's what I this was. This is this is crazy.
And we've seen so many other stories of people pretending
to be licensed medical professionals of some kind. Such is

(43:19):
the case with a thirty five year old Florida woman.
She's been arrested because she was running an illegal dental
practice where she allegedly used super glued to attach veneers
to the teeth of her patients. I mean, I don't know,
first off, why why don't people vet the people they
go to. Just because you got MD after your name

(43:39):
does not necessarily mean anything. This woman is Emily Martinez.
She's accused of leaving victims with infections and damaged teeth
after installing phony veneers with this cion ciono akryllate glue,
otherwise known as crazy glue or superglue. According to investigators. Now,
Martinez is charged fraud and practicing dentistry without a license.

(44:01):
Of course, among a lot of other offenses, she offered
discounted full mouth veneer treatments at the tap In Beauty
Bar in Panella's Park. I don't know if you go
to a place called the tap End Beauty Bar, I'm
not sure I would trust somebody there. Yeah, you know so.
She advertises herself as a veneer technician. A Fox thirteen

(44:21):
Tampa Bay reports that the police have said that she
was unlicensed and had no schooling. She left multiple victims
with hefty bills from emergency dental work to try to
reverse the damage she did. They actually have to pay
thousands of dollars to get their teeth fixed, and some
of them had to wait for the infection to clear
up so they could get their teeth fixed. According to

(44:42):
the Panela's Park Police, it's bad. I mean, Sergeant Wendy
Vader was talking to Fox thirteen about this and have
a risk warrants. They say. The two people reported Martinez
after experiencing the pain and infections and complications following her procedures,
and now look, real veneers can running about one thousand
dollars per tooth. Okay. The report said that Martinez charged

(45:05):
about three thousand dollars for the whole set of teeth, okay,
prompting a lifespan of five to seven years. Okay. If
it's too good to be true, it probably is, okay.
Please told Fox thirteen she may have also pulled teeth
and performed dental work on children. That report show oh yeah,

(45:26):
oh yeah, so record show that Martinez was arrested in
Hillsborough County charged with performing unlicensed dental work authority since
she may have changed her name and even created additional
businesses to try to hide the fraud. Imagine it's better
if that you yourself are letting her put super clue
in your teeth. But it's even worse to think you
can let them do them to your kid. You know, unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
The only dental work I've ever done was as a kid,
tying a string around my tooth and slamming the door.

Speaker 3 (45:54):
Yep, slamming the door. That's right. Yeah, well, I mean
I had like a retainer. That's about all I ever had.
I never had to have braces or anything like that.
But I mean, you know, I don't know. It's it's
kind of going to the McDonald's version of a dentist.
I mean it's bad.

Speaker 2 (46:14):
I mean I think it's like it's like an Aldi dentist,
like you, right, well, you know you're gonna pay less
for sure, but you better eat the produce within the
next day or two.

Speaker 3 (46:26):
Yeah, exactly. I mean, honestly, when it comes to stuff
like your teeth. I mean, why you is that going
to you know, Bill's Discount dentistry or something. I mean,
would you would you actually go to that.

Speaker 2 (46:38):
I'm willing to pay full price for my dental work
if necessary. Yeah, But also I mean, I guess I
don't know if that doesn't take insurance. So I'm sure
these are people looking for work that did not have
dental insurance.

Speaker 3 (46:51):
I guess absolutely absolutely, you know, honestly. I mean, look,
if you had a choice of letting your teeth rot
out or having super glue in your tooth, I'm not sure.
I think the rotting out part would be a little
better for me, you know, I.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
Did they used to They used to put mercury fillings,
so too, right, But oh yeah, I don't want what
people they know that mercury is bad for us, right right, right,
So I don't know. I've always got a questions. Thankfully,
I've only ever had one cavity in my life. Unfortunately,
that one cavity was not sealed properly and got back
behind it yearly and it resulted in a root canal.

(47:28):
H but I've got one like half tooth and uh
and they made like a I guess what lay out
of it's porcelain or whatever it is, some material. They
basically took a mold of my tooth. Oh yeah, used
whatever kind of dental cement to put it back. It
literally looks and feels exactly like my old tooth. Incredible. Yeah.

(47:51):
So yeah, No, no super needed at all. I could
not imagine having having super glue.

Speaker 3 (48:00):
And I'm like, oh, I mean I've smelled super glue.
I don't need to taste it.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
That's right, yes, man. Well, in my next story here,
this Florida man must have been super glued to the
hood of his girlfriend's car to have been able to
be clinging on to this while she sped away. There's
a Florida man. He was seen clinging to the hood

(48:27):
of a car as it drove down State Road five
point twenty in Coco, Yeah, near Cocoa Beach. Now, the
woman driving the car has been arrested and is facing
multiple charges, including attempted second degree murder. Several traffic lanes
were closed down near Fiske Boulevard while the Coco Police
Department investigated the incident. A small wet vehicle had a

(48:50):
busted out windshield and other damage. After police say a
man got on the hood and held on while the
female driver drove away. The reckless driving is that it
was reported by several drivers who called on one one.
There were two other vehicles that were involved in the
original dispute that were hit when the female drove recklessly
down the road, and the car eventually crashed into a

(49:13):
sign when the man was thrown off and run over.
According to Coco Police, the man was airlifted to the
hospital in critical condition because of head trauma, and the
female driver was also taken by ambulance to the hospital,
according hopefully hopefully to different hospitals at this point. According
to an official arrest affidavit, the incident began as a

(49:36):
domestic dispute in the wah Wall parking lot and quickly escalated.
I can't imagine this happening at a wah Wall maybe
like a maybe like a circle k or something. But
can you imagine if you have like a like a

(49:57):
restraining order. Oh yeah, just a restraining order apply if
you both are sent to the same hospital or true
or someone have to.

Speaker 3 (50:05):
Go do it.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
I don't know, well, witnesses, So the driver of the
car douglass roles him and is is not facing facing
multiple charges including second degree attempted murder, aggravated battery with
a deadly weapon, domestic violence, reckless driving, and leaving the
scene of a crash. I wonder if they left the

(50:26):
scene of the crash because they like flew out of
the car, though, does that count? I don't know, is
currently being held on no poond.

Speaker 3 (50:35):
That's got to be quite the domestic when I don't know.
I mean, was she trying to drive away with his
car that he was holding on to it or something.
I don't know, but that's got to be quite the
scene to see.

Speaker 2 (50:48):
You know, I'd like to think that, like holding onto
the hood of your girlfriend's car is the Florida man
equivalent of standing outside her house with a boombox. Yeah?

Speaker 3 (50:59):
Really, Oh my gosh. I mean that's that's uh well,
I don't know. I don't know what to say with that.
That's that's that's amazing. And I guess she was what
fish tailing through town to get him off the hood
or something. I don't know, but clinging for dear life,
that's he'd be better off, you know, catfishing some other
girl than than and sticking around something like that. We've

(51:22):
got a story here of a fella catfishing other guys.
But he's doing it on dating apps, so he can
they can steal their fishing spots. Okay, fishermen beware, all right.
I mean, we got the Illuminati, the Skull and Bones,
the Freemasons. None of these secret societies have anything on
fishermen trying to keep their favorite fishing spot secret. Okay,

(51:47):
I'm telling now. Of course, there's this fellow that gets
an interest on a dating app, and maybe he's apparently
willing to spill the beans to a complete stranger. I mean,
there's a TikToker known as sin Oregon Fishing. He's been
orchestrating a real clever scheme here. He catfishes guys on

(52:08):
dating apps like Hinge by pretending to be an interested woman. Okay,
this is a completely new paradigm that I have seen
us on the dating apps. Okay. Now, once this guy
connects these unsuspecting users, especially those that like to showcase
their fish in their profile pictures, okay, often share their price,

(52:32):
fishing spot location. Sometimes they even send their GPS coordinates.
All right, Remember they think they're talking to a woman. Okay,
So this approach has gained some I mean pretty serious
traction here. Okay, this guy has now ten TikTok videos
with over a million views, once called Day thirty four

(52:54):
of catfishing guys on Hinge to get their fishing spots. Okay,
that one alone's got over one point eight million views. Okay. Now,
the most popular clip takes viewers to a S tier
fishing location where he lands twenty brook trout in an
hour dawn. Right, yeah, he turns him into burgers. I mean,

(53:16):
he is making out like a bandit on this now,
and not every spot, you know, comes up productive. Sometimes
people send him to frozen lakes, which is kind of fun.
Other times he secures the GPS coordinates for lakes full
of rainbow trout. Yeah, well that's true, but I mean this,
this is diabolical. If you're like a fisherman, this is diabolical.

Speaker 2 (53:39):
Right, So this guy's not cat fishing. He's cat fishing.

Speaker 3 (53:43):
Yeah he is, he is, indeed. So I mean, I
guess what the lesson to be learned here is keep
the fish photos off of social media, all right, because
you're just basically hanging out, you're in notation to be catfished,
you know.

Speaker 2 (54:02):
Can you imagine like what what kind of you know,
I guess flirting does this guy do to try to
get the spot?

Speaker 6 (54:09):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (54:10):
God, I'm not much a fisherman. I prefer fly fishing
something Okay, I got the center of the location or
something here?

Speaker 3 (54:22):
God, or maybe I would love to go and see
your cast.

Speaker 2 (54:29):
Man. That's right.

Speaker 3 (54:31):
Oh wow, that's insane. That's insane again. I mean it's
it's stupid, but it's cleverly stupid, you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (54:42):
Right? I guess getting a lot of views and be
very to watch. Actually, well, look, we go from catfish
to cat food. Michelgan started chef. He cooked up a
made of stuff that you would usually only serve to

(55:03):
a cat, and people seem to like it. Okay, who
would have ever thought that cat food is actually tasty.
Chef and animal lover Alice Austen worked with cat food
brand Catkin to create a cat food burger. And yes,
you've heard that correctly. The unexpected concoction might have you

(55:26):
scratching your head, but based on how it's made, it
does sound appetizing. She took cat food mix, which consists
of meats usually served the cats. She shaped it into
patty forms. I guess liked what like patin.

Speaker 3 (55:43):
Maybe not.

Speaker 2 (55:43):
It's cooked and maybe it's better than Anna. But she
then coated it in panco breadcrumbs before throwing on a
cat food topper. I'm assuming maybe like dried catnip or
something for flavor. I don't know. From there, the chef
smothered the burger and creamy ricotta, parmesan cheese, a lemon spread,

(56:05):
and cat can smoky bacon jam. According to what's the
jam to look like the real carnivore deal, the chef
served the kitty cat burger on the chibata bun with lettuce,
sun dried tomatoes, cucumber, and a Jerusalem hot honey.

Speaker 3 (56:25):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (56:25):
Unlucky folks they got a chance to try this cat
inspired patty and they couldn't stop raving about it. Honestly,
it does sound pretty good. I like fish. I'm a
fish guys. I'm assuming that's what it's made with. I
hope here are people on the street of London giving
the cat food burger a try. This is the cat

(56:46):
can clockburger.

Speaker 3 (56:47):
Dad's try. I've never eaten cat food before.

Speaker 2 (56:51):
I think he likes it.

Speaker 3 (56:53):
It's tasty, it's good.

Speaker 2 (56:54):
I wouldn't expect this to beat cat food. It's a
little musha, but saber wise, actually not too bad.

Speaker 3 (56:59):
Exit on, it's not too bad.

Speaker 2 (57:01):
It doesn't taste that cat food. It tast It's unknown
at this time if this cat burger will ever make
it into a restaurant menu for the masses. However, there
are several restaurants around Manhattan where customers can snag a
delicious off menu meat burger, an Love Scale West Chelsea
restaurant and Members Club. The Crane Club offers twelve burgers

(57:23):
each night that are only served for half an hour
from five point thirty to six pm, no substitutions allowed.
Society Cafe, a restaurant inside the Walker Hotel in Greenwich Village,
is another spot with exclusive burgers. The joint only makes
four to six to stand up burgers each night.

Speaker 3 (57:41):
That's us, That's that's crazy. I mean what it is
you you create a demand by making it offered, offer
it for a limited time, right, okay?

Speaker 2 (57:51):
I mean whatever? What else is flawed graw other than
like lowfied cat food as well?

Speaker 3 (57:56):
In my opinion, yeah, I mean, look, I mean you've
heard stories of women that they are these cat ladies
that have got all these cats and they spend all
their social security money on cat food, and they don't
have any money for themselves to eat, so they just
eat the cat food with the cats. I mean, there's
a but. But here you've got, you know, five star

(58:16):
chefs serving luscious gourmet cat burgers to people in London,
which kind of tells you the caliber of people that
live in England if they're eating cat food burgers.

Speaker 2 (58:26):
But for their cooking anyways, Well, that's.

Speaker 3 (58:32):
True, I mean, but then again, you know, you go
a little further north to Scotland and they're basically grinding
up lungs and livers and cooking.

Speaker 2 (58:41):
In Scotland is based on a there.

Speaker 3 (58:45):
That's right, man. So but I mean, honestly, would if
you know you you always pride yourself on eating risky foods. Okay,
if you if you had a burger prepared like that,
would you actually, knowing what you're gonna eat, take a
bite out of it?

Speaker 2 (59:02):
I'd give it a try.

Speaker 3 (59:04):
You would give it a try. And then of course,
you know, uh, missus Poncho will demand that your teeth
brush before you kiss it. Probably I'm sure she would
not going to be kissing you after eating catt What
was in it.

Speaker 2 (59:20):
She probably kind of raised an eyebrow to thinking like
maybe maybe.

Speaker 3 (59:24):
I look at being the would he be considered nutritious.
I mean, if it's good for cats, it's good for you, right.
So I don't know, but I guess I'm gonna stick
with beef. I that beef is what's for dinner, all right.
That's I went to my friend's house here two or
three weeks ago, and he to on some delicious tender

(59:47):
filet mignon steaks on his grill, and that's where it's at,
all right. But I mean I I don't have a
problem eating beef. I mean, that's that's that's that's fine.
Some people like beef more than some people like it
in their pants. We've got a beef bandit here for you.
This is I love this story. He's a fifty seven

(01:00:09):
year old beef bandit who was arrested because he was
sealing hundreds of dollars worth of meat from a Louisiana
Walmart and he was stuffing it all down his pants. Okay,
this is literally a David Letterman joke waiting to happen. Okay.
The Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office said dispatcher's got this call

(01:00:29):
about this guy that left the walmart there without paying
for the concealed items, and he came back and tried
it again. Now, the sheriff, Jason Hard said, witnesses reported
that this suspect drove off in a black Honda no
license plate. The Denim Springs Police Department then spotted and
stopped the vehicle on Range Avenue near I twelve. So
the deputies when they got this guy cornered, they found

(01:00:53):
multiple packs of Hamburger meat ribbies in the car. Then
the investigators determined some of the meat was also stolen
from a Sam's Club. So in total, you're looking at
three hundred dollars with a meat was recovered won't be
resold obviously because it was put down his pants. The
suspect was identified as Michael R. Dawn. He was arrested

(01:01:14):
and booked into the Livingston Parish Detention Center. He's facing
felony theft charges due to the lengthy criminal record, seventy
four prior rists, twenty six stept for risks, and nine
theft convictions. Now the picture that I saw, you've got
like I've never seen so much meat and sausages in
all my life, he said, they got it all lined
out on display. I mean, look the way the grocery

(01:01:35):
costs are nowadays. I guess I don't blame him, frankly,
I mean, maybe maybe we'd just buy the return meat
at the right price. I just look and just knock
a few dollars off. I'll buy it, whether there's been
down the guy's pants or not. I mean, as much
as you know the grocery prices are maybe going back
for seconds, he's thinking I could do this all day.
You know, maybe he saw the study about red meat
preventing cancer or something.

Speaker 2 (01:01:56):
You know, I don't know. I bet you be willing
to pay premium if you knew it was down this
guy's pants.

Speaker 3 (01:02:01):
If yeah, okay, you know what kind of depends if
it was down down the pants. That's right, it's been
it's been been pre cooked.

Speaker 2 (01:02:09):
It depends on which side of the pants maybe it
was on.

Speaker 3 (01:02:13):
Well, at this point, he could be a gamble if
he didn't met a which side you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:02:17):
That's right, Uh, the correct number of sausages they should
have counted in there was one.

Speaker 3 (01:02:27):
Now, well there was a lot of sausages.

Speaker 2 (01:02:30):
Yeah, I don't know. Look, hiding meat with your meat,
I guess it makes sense. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:02:35):
Uh, well, that's some meat meat storage.

Speaker 2 (01:02:39):
Unit, right I. I guess he refers to his uh,
his underwear as the meat locker or something, the locker.
I hid it in my dumper. He was a very

(01:03:02):
very happy man with all.

Speaker 3 (01:03:03):
That Meat's right, they had a load in his dumper.

Speaker 2 (01:03:07):
Maybe that's what the dump truck guy was trying to gather.
All those animals, a lot of uh, chicken and apparently
Chinese food as well, from what you were suggesting.

Speaker 3 (01:03:19):
That's right, that's right.

Speaker 2 (01:03:20):
Well, I guess you've got someone, you know, I guess
shoving meat, uh, you know, in his meat. But we've
got another I don't know how to transition to this
hamstering hamster meats. I don't, I don't know. I was

(01:03:44):
I was hoping that you would be reading this one
when I first saw this.

Speaker 3 (01:03:48):
Really, this is this is one that you have to read, Eric, if.

Speaker 2 (01:03:54):
You listened last year. Last week, I'm sorry, Eric mentioned
something about.

Speaker 3 (01:04:00):
Amstring, but you you said something about Gerbiling.

Speaker 2 (01:04:05):
I assumed it must be similar to Gerbiling. It's not
the Richard gear story. I think it's this is a myth,
all right, I'm not going to allegedly it's a myth.
It's probably a joke where you know, Gerbils like to
I guess, uh, this is we're gonna say that the

(01:04:26):
very happy uh man. You know, maybe it would have
put a gerbil in the dumper as well with the
other animals.

Speaker 3 (01:04:33):
Yeah, I'm gonna say if if if you were Hamstring,
you're gonna be as happy as that dump truck driver.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:04:43):
The headline here says that maybe one of the more
dangerous sex positions.

Speaker 3 (01:04:47):
So what I it's amazing you're going to make it happy.

Speaker 2 (01:04:49):
It's dangerous but still living dangerously. Yeah. So I got
a little curious and I decided to do a little
a little googling.

Speaker 3 (01:04:59):
My phone is now you did a little homework.

Speaker 2 (01:05:02):
I'm probably on some kind of list at this point.
And uh and and when I read what it was,
I thought, I sure hope that Eric reads this one.
So might as well just jump right in, right, I said,
last story for the day. We usually build up to
the you know this kind of story. Yeah, the the

(01:05:24):
Big Oh of Arkansas and uh, Pennsylvania. I don't know,
I'm trying to bring things full circle. Okayy be happy,
I got it close enough, that's right. In the world
of bizarre sextrins and new positions, I think people are
just getting bored. They have to come up with new things.

(01:05:45):
Like all of us instinctively know that there's three maybe
four respectable positions and that's it.

Speaker 3 (01:05:51):
But but but maybe maybe maybe this, this might inspire
you to get missus Panchu a cart with the sun roof.

Speaker 2 (01:05:58):
Well, we do have a under if now and there
you go.

Speaker 3 (01:06:02):
Yeah, keep keep on talking, right, Yeah, so lucky me.

Speaker 2 (01:06:07):
Hamsterring might well be one of the weirdest yet and
apparently could be possibly in my future, because the means
to make this happen I suppose is sitting in my
driveway right now. Yeah, it's almost possible to spend any
time on the Internet these days without like finding out
far too much about random couples in their bedroom business,

(01:06:29):
especially if you go to Reddit, like there's like weird
and wonderful trends. Apparently you know all the rage and
I say wonderful and could like someone else's wonder if
someone else is weird. That's that's always the case, right, Yes, Well,
in case you haven't heard, hot whiffing is so hot wiping.

(01:06:50):
I'm sorry, whiffing. Hot whipping sounds like something that you do,
like involves like nitro socks side and cool whip being
in hale or something. No, hot wiping. It is the
way to save your relationship, all right, Clearly, I don't
know my relationships and in uh, I guess.

Speaker 3 (01:07:11):
Your relationships hot already?

Speaker 9 (01:07:13):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (01:07:14):
I thought that, like, you know, the how do you
what do they call it? Again? When when you have
the like the the US government, they put this like
risk for uh, like you know what green yellow, orange
red for, like the risk of like an attack or something?

Speaker 3 (01:07:29):
What is that the radioactive?

Speaker 2 (01:07:32):
No, Like it's like a I can't remember what it's called. There.
I I'm having a bump, mine up a degree of
like you know, in terms of the risk of my
marriage on the rocks, considering I don't know what hot
wifing is kind of anyways, I was gonna move on.
While some folks are even turning prospective partners into Bob

(01:07:55):
the Builder as a way of getting things fixed before
even agreeing to a second date. All right, uh so,
some folks are heading to swingers resorts or festivals the
way of satisfying their sexual needs. Others are now using
their cars for an unusual new position, which TikTok is

(01:08:17):
describing as hamstering. Although people have been having text in
cars for generations, probably since the car was first invented, uh,
it's never really been done like this before. It requires

(01:08:37):
some some serious balls on the man's part. If you'll
pardon the punt, you'll you'll only need three things to
take part in hamstering. A car with a center roof,
a penis, and a willing partner.

Speaker 1 (01:08:53):
And uh, you know what what what is it? A?

Speaker 2 (01:08:56):
What is google? This all?

Speaker 6 (01:09:00):
What is.

Speaker 2 (01:09:03):
Hands hanstering? I'm when I Google this?

Speaker 1 (01:09:06):
This is a.

Speaker 2 (01:09:08):
Well, uh let me let me.

Speaker 3 (01:09:12):
No, No, it was a there was a weird.

Speaker 2 (01:09:19):
A weird way.

Speaker 3 (01:09:20):
Uh, oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (01:09:28):
It was basically when when I Google I did not
click on the link. I was like, nope, I will
read the little bio on the link.

Speaker 3 (01:09:34):
That was enough.

Speaker 2 (01:09:35):
But basically it described it did not say a man.
It said okay, a a penist owner or something like
that was the way that they described it. A penis owner.
I want I want to be specific, right Anyways, I'm
dumb right if you if you haven't figured it out already.

(01:09:57):
The man has to lie on top of the car
and places crown jewels through the sun roof so that
the partner below can reach up and perform moral you know,
fillatio in the same way a hamster drinks from its tubs.

Speaker 3 (01:10:13):
So, so you've seen how a hamster drinks from the
water bottle.

Speaker 2 (01:10:16):
Yeah, right, you have the little bobber there and so.

Speaker 3 (01:10:20):
Yeah, so now you're getting the mental description.

Speaker 2 (01:10:24):
That was exactly the mental image I got. I thought,
I don't want to read. I personally am truly sorry
for putting that image in your head. I realized, well,
I guess I read this before I chose the story.
I should have known it. Look, I have to warn

(01:10:49):
you that the car will have to be completely stopped
in a safe and hopefully private location before you tip this,
or you could be arrested for a number of different reasons.
I can only imagine, like, like someone's gonna see, like,
see what hamstering is here? Assume that you could do
it while driving the car, Like I can only assume
that's what the guy on the why the girlfriend's car

(01:11:13):
hood was trying to do.

Speaker 3 (01:11:14):
Right there you go there you go. He was trying,
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (01:11:19):
Man, yeah, so you know, if you if you don't
want to get arrested or whatnot. There there's an influence.
Isn't the threat of arrest part of the excitement and thrill?
Though this is true, man, we have an audio of
an influencer at jen Iffer. She's trying to figure out
the logistics of this move on her TikTok.

Speaker 9 (01:11:40):
The hamster thing piqued my curiosity and my initial reaction
was like, I want in.

Speaker 3 (01:11:45):
I want to drink.

Speaker 4 (01:11:46):
As though I am a thirsty hamster.

Speaker 9 (01:11:48):
I was like when I got this car, I even
said for myself, I wanted a sound in my head.
It makes sense and it's a great idea, but in practicality,
first of all, I don't want my car scrip. There's
belt buckles, there's buttons.

Speaker 2 (01:12:02):
Maybe he does.

Speaker 3 (01:12:03):
One of these that way you can conceal yourself in
your car.

Speaker 9 (01:12:07):
I love it in theory, I just don't want to
look like this when I execute it.

Speaker 2 (01:12:13):
It's also not advisable in the middle of summer, as
lying naked on top of the hot roof is likely
to lead to some burning in your your Genitalia area,
which is ever a good thing? I think for most
I'm sure for someone it's weird or wonderful. Oh man,

(01:12:35):
As one TikTok user showed off in a thankfully PG way,
the position is likely to require some serious acrobatic ability
from the thirsty hamster, as car surprisingly worked designed for
this purpose.

Speaker 3 (01:12:53):
All I can think of is that little metal tube
coming out of the water bottle into the hamster's mouth,
and then people trying to mimic this particular position on
the sunroof of their car.

Speaker 2 (01:13:05):
What what woman would agree to this? Like, I understand
that the depravity of most men knows no bound and
they can get a little bit of something. They're gonna
be like anything old woman would actually go through with this?
This sounds so degrading.

Speaker 3 (01:13:21):
Well, I guess it will kind of be in a
what direction you're facing on top of the sun roof.

Speaker 2 (01:13:26):
Oh man? Maybe how tall or short the woman is?
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:13:35):
Oh gosh, Okay, Well, I'm I'm waiting.

Speaker 2 (01:13:38):
I'm waiting for the first story of hamstring where someone
accidentally bumps the the automatic clothes like you know thing
and uh, and then they get stuff stuck in the
in the window of the sun roof. There the big pinch,
the big pinch.

Speaker 10 (01:13:58):
Oh man, I'm just sitting there thinking, I mean, this
is the next uh, this will be the next podcast
story for us to read next week or two of
some guy getting his junk pinched in the sun roof
and getting caught, you know, while he's hamstring in.

Speaker 3 (01:14:20):
The car with his girlfriend. Oh, I'm waiting for him,
you know, I'm just either that, either that or the
girl is gonna knock the gearshift out in neutral and
they're gonna go down the road and he's on top
of the car, or something like this. I mean, this
is this will set us up for so many news stories.

(01:14:40):
I'm telling you so Oh my gosh. I mean, look,
I gotta give him credit. It's a very appropriate name
for the position. I think that's a but then again,
you have to have a willing partner that's willing to
be the hamster.

Speaker 2 (01:14:55):
It gives a really bad mental image.

Speaker 3 (01:14:58):
That's exactly right, my word. Well, all right, so we've
got the start of school. We've got some interesting ask
poncho questions here having to do with this, and since well,
I don't know, do you guys have to take care
of school supplies, you know, with the with the co op.

Speaker 2 (01:15:17):
Now, yeah, we love a little bit though. Yeah, Florida
does have this fancy like homeschool scholarship where oh nice,
Yeah you could like so we could basically get reimbursed
for a lot of this stuff. Oh wow, that's cool scholarship.

Speaker 3 (01:15:32):
Well, well, maybe you need to maybe pass this along
to this person who's writing for some advice because they
feel like they're being treated unfairly. Here they write, Uh,
dear Poncho, I have a kid in junior high in
one elementary school. I received emails from their teachers this
week asking me for money to buy supplies for the classroom.

(01:15:55):
And I cannot believe they sent these letters. I barely
make enough to serve and now my kids' schools are
asking me for money. I shouldn't have to pay for supplies.
They should. I mentioned this to my neighbor, and she
said she's going to give them some money and pitch in.
I told her, it's not my responsibility, it's theirs. It's
a shame that the schools are letting our teachers and

(01:16:17):
kids down. So am I wrong for not paying? Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:16:20):
Man, well, if you're trying to make ends meet. I
don't know. I I would uh not feel too bad,
I think, but oh, I don't know the ins and
outs of teachers in the public schools system, right, But well,
I certainly think you know some of those. Probably, I

(01:16:44):
know how unions work, and I know how unions oftentimes
care more about seniority over marriage. True though, right, I'm
sure that there's better ways things can be done. Also,
So the one thing that doesn't make sense to me,
I don't think it's fairs. I feel like more money
is being sent like from the government to schools than
ever before, oh, even though the grades are not getting

(01:17:06):
better because of it. And so it doesn't make sense
why there's a lot I kind of don't see that's
good about a lot of that, right, But that's why
that's kind of part of why we're homeschooling. And so
maybe just join the homeschool club and if you're in Florida,
then you get you could apply for an eight thousand
dollars scholarship and you could get reimbursed for these counts

(01:17:28):
depones instead.

Speaker 3 (01:17:29):
Yeah, you know, I mean if I mean, because we
send our kids to private Christian schools, now they have
a parent association.

Speaker 2 (01:17:37):
That that's expensive. I'm sure though, right.

Speaker 3 (01:17:39):
It is, it is, But they also have a parent
association that basically take care of this kind of stuff.
They raise money through fundraisers to help Dubai for the supplies.
They don't ask the parents to do it because the
parents are paying the tuition to get their kids to
go there.

Speaker 2 (01:17:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:17:56):
So, but I mean so, I mean yeah, I mean
if that were the case, I.

Speaker 2 (01:18:00):
Mean, if I understand, like, oh, get some notebooks for
your child and folders the things that he's using, and
you know, markers or crans, like I get some of that,
but it depends on how much are they asking to buy.

Speaker 3 (01:18:11):
Well, right, And the thing is, and I think with
this is they're wanting the parents to pony up to
pay for the classroom stuff that all the kids are using. No, no, no,
And as I mean, it's bad enough you're buying stuff
for your own kid to use. I mean, the school
supplies are not cheap, and they're getting less cheap each year,
and so, but if it's a public school and they

(01:18:33):
want the parents to help buy the equipment, the stuff
that they're not crayons and all that kind of construction
paper and whatever, the kids are going to be no
scissors and whatever. I'm thinking, wait a minute, no, I'm
paying taxes. Why should I pay taxes?

Speaker 2 (01:18:47):
And my libertarian ish stelf is like, this is the
perfect lesson on why you don't want socialism and communism.

Speaker 3 (01:18:57):
You think you do?

Speaker 2 (01:18:58):
You think you do when you think it's your neighbor
that's paying it for you, but your neighbor thinks that
you're the one paying for their socialism, that's right.

Speaker 3 (01:19:08):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I for one thing, I
don't know what kind of school we're talking about. Like
I said, if it's a public school, I have problems.
If it was a private school, well I have questions
because it depends on how the private school is funded. Okay,
but yeah, if it's a public school, I wouldn't pay
a dime. I'd say, forget you. You don't go go

(01:19:28):
get the school board to rate, you know, give you
some money to to you know, buy your own supplies
for your classroom.

Speaker 2 (01:19:34):
Yeah you know so. But yeah, maybe they could save
money on the school lunches by serving cat food instead.

Speaker 3 (01:19:45):
Bring in a nice New York chef, you know, go
mat cat Burgers or something like that.

Speaker 2 (01:19:52):
Kids get real.

Speaker 3 (01:19:53):
Meat, bread and bread and fried cat burgers.

Speaker 2 (01:19:59):
I'm going here's what they say.

Speaker 3 (01:20:00):
Help.

Speaker 2 (01:20:01):
My husband thinks our children should pay rent. How old
are these kids is?

Speaker 3 (01:20:06):
The question?

Speaker 2 (01:20:08):
Highly depends on the age. My husband spends way too
much time on TikTok and thus gets crazy ideas. Look,
as we all know, the craziest ideas come from TikTok.
So this could be he wants to charge our seven
to nine and twelve year old kids rent you case,
he believes that will teach them responsibility about money. Either

(01:20:31):
that or he's gonna teach him to hate their dad. Hey,
what person likes their their landlord? You know? Man, o man,
what happens if they don't pay rent? Are you a victim?

Speaker 3 (01:20:44):
You victim?

Speaker 2 (01:20:45):
That's right to take an empty threat almost unless you're
willing to evict in press charges. Right.

Speaker 3 (01:20:51):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (01:20:53):
He says that he started with He says starting the
new school year, they will each receive a weekly allowance
for their chores. They will then pay back a portion
of it to us as rent.

Speaker 3 (01:21:05):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:21:05):
I told him, Oh, you can tell them it's taxes
as well, right, at least get them get them used
to you.

Speaker 3 (01:21:11):
Know, being like, oh, man, this.

Speaker 2 (01:21:16):
As I told him he's crazy. He told me any
smart any any smart parent would do the same thing
he's doing.

Speaker 3 (01:21:24):
Do you hear them?

Speaker 2 (01:21:25):
Should kids pay rent? No, you can talk to your
kids about how the question, oh my gosh, you responsibility
without making them pay rent. I will say if if
you need, you can talk to them about how, like, hey,

(01:21:46):
we have to pay a mortgage or rents depending where
you live. Like, but like they're going to learn that
as an adult, and they should hopefully be aware that
like generally as they get older. Oh yeah, living somewhere
isn't free. If you want them to learn how to
budget and like be responsible with money, then like give
them an allowance and make them buy their own needs,

(01:22:08):
right like if they need jews or clothes or things
like or if there's like treats to things that they
want like dessert or whatever like, make that give them
an allowance, but then make them have to buy their
own needs as well, toothpaste even like if there are
things like that, you know that some of that's going
to go to stuff that you'd be buying anyways. But
then it also allows them to budget for things and

(01:22:31):
choose what to buy and how much to spend on
these things. So like that was something that I had
to do for a little bit. I didn't say had to,
I was given the opportunity to do for a little
bit where our allowance went up, our monthly allowance went
up a little bit. But while it went up, we
ended up having to buy some of our things like that,

(01:22:55):
and it allows us a budget. And honestly, like at
the time, we're like, man, we were pocketing all lot
more than we were before that happened because I didn't
spend a lot of money, you know, But then you
also got it felt like you got to choose your
own stuff and clothes and things, and it was nice.
And so eventually, like we ended up just giving our

(01:23:15):
allowance back after a certain point, just after like job
changes and stuff, like we moved around, you know how
radio is, right, and my dad was the radio. So
they're like, no, if we don't have to move, we
will gladly stay here, and like, you know, but like
there was a time where we did that, So there's
ways you could do this without like, you know, seven

(01:23:37):
years old is so young? Are you kidding me? Like
they don't they probably just learning how to empathize at
that point. Let alone, Hey, rent, let them be kids, man,
let them feel safe. That's a little crazy, little well.

Speaker 3 (01:23:52):
I mean I look if I was, if I was
the dad. Yeah, the money is is that that's maybe
a little too close to home. Okay, So if you
really want, if you really want to drive the point
home as far as paying rent, See, you got to
be creative with kids. So you sit down, you have dinner.
You give them their meal, and then you take a

(01:24:12):
spoonful of their mashed potatoes and you have that. You
take a cut of their meat, you have that. When
you give them a piece of cake, you take a
piece of the cake and eat it.

Speaker 2 (01:24:20):
What are you doing?

Speaker 3 (01:24:20):
I'm saying, I'm taking my share of the rent.

Speaker 2 (01:24:23):
Oh my son would love that, other than the cake part.
He's constantly trying to get out of eating food.

Speaker 3 (01:24:28):
Well that's it. That's the thing. You know, when you
give them the dessert, you take a big spoonful out
of the ice cream and say this is this is
the thing for living here, you know?

Speaker 2 (01:24:36):
And then yeah, yeah, I think this also might highly
depend on do you have sons or daughters. Imagine this
is all daughters. It would be horrible. I feel like
they've got all boys just from the reading this, because
I couldn't imagine doing that to your daughter. Yeah, I'm
not on the s out side. I think that's a

(01:24:57):
little bit over. Don't take u advice from TikTok maybe.

Speaker 3 (01:25:03):
Right, that's that's interesting. I mean, I don't know where
they come up with some of these parenting advice, but
definitely some of these guys need to go back and
get a new license to be a parent.

Speaker 2 (01:25:17):
I don't know if you need a license for that.
Oh boy, I think I think.

Speaker 3 (01:25:22):
I think everybody should actually maybe take a test and
then if you pass the test, you could become parents,
and then if you do something stupid, then they can
revoke your parent license.

Speaker 2 (01:25:33):
I have a feeling if this was a thing that
you could actually do, we would we would have a
sharply declining population.

Speaker 3 (01:25:41):
Oh I'm afraid we would. I'm afraid we would.

Speaker 1 (01:25:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:25:44):
So well, I mean, I mean, it's uh, it's it's
hard enough being a parent besides having to take a
parent test. I don't know, but we've got we've got
some quizzes for you to see how well you can
do on our insane games and see how how smart
you are or with our new improved Insane games, we'll

(01:26:05):
see if if you have should have your your your
man license renewed if you can.

Speaker 2 (01:26:12):
I'd like to have mine renewed. After the pumpkin spice
cream or I bought earlier this that's right. Well, for
the record, I haven't really used it other than like
a couple of times just to taste the pumpkin. I
have a black coffee. Guys, so this is it was
because I love my wife, Okay, but I was trying
to hot wife.

Speaker 11 (01:26:30):
Is that what you call it?

Speaker 3 (01:26:31):
It's right, your your hot wife, that's right. Yeah, You're
not like you're not hot wifing. You're just you just
have a hot wife.

Speaker 2 (01:26:40):
Is true? Yeah, smoking.

Speaker 3 (01:26:45):
My my wife. My wife says that she will froinally
get her hot, smoking body when she gets cremated.

Speaker 2 (01:26:51):
That right.

Speaker 3 (01:28:15):
It's time to play Eric Lane's Insane game show, starring
his insane Florida nephew Punchaguero. So, so, hey, well, yeah,
we've got uh the all new Insane games and uh,
so far, I think you're picking up on them pretty well.
I mean, we we've got five different mind benders, each

(01:28:39):
of them have got, you know, some statistical information, and
so far, we'll see you get like three clues before
we finally give you the answer. And if you can
get the answer before you get through the clues, then
you get your your win. All right, So are you
are you have you been mentally preparing for this that.

Speaker 2 (01:29:01):
I feel like I got to be so specific with
my answers. It's like you don't be very, very very specific.

Speaker 3 (01:29:07):
There are there are specific answers for these. Okay, all right,
So we'll begin with our first mind bender, and it
is this right here, About forty one of people have
surprised a dinner date by doing this, not once, but twice.

Speaker 2 (01:29:28):
What is it?

Speaker 3 (01:29:30):
Think about this now? Really you can consider all the details.
We're looking at forty one So forty one percent of
the people have surprised a dinner date by doing this,
not once but twice. So what is it?

Speaker 2 (01:29:46):
I'm going to say, farting? They past gassed. I didn't
say it was a good surprise, right.

Speaker 3 (01:29:54):
No, it didn't. It did not. Actually, you're correct, it
was not necessarily It was just a surprise. But that's
not necessarily farting. So your first clue may even surprise
your server.

Speaker 2 (01:30:09):
Oh boy, okay, might surprise then. I mean, you don't
propose twice at a dinner so.

Speaker 3 (01:30:15):
True, not not Not every dinner date is going to
have a proposal.

Speaker 2 (01:30:19):
Well, yes, exactly, that might surprise then they'll do it.

Speaker 3 (01:30:27):
Yeah, about about people. I have surprised at dinner date
by doing this, not once but twice.

Speaker 2 (01:30:36):
Hmmm, ordering for the other person.

Speaker 3 (01:30:45):
M that's an interesting twist, but not necessarily that So
your extra your next clue, nothing to do with burping
or bodily functions.

Speaker 2 (01:30:57):
Okay, well that could have been.

Speaker 3 (01:30:59):
That's yeah. So forty one percent of people have surprised
inn date by doing this, not once but twice. It
may even surprise your server. Nothing to do with burping
or bodily functions.

Speaker 2 (01:31:17):
Sending their food back.

Speaker 3 (01:31:19):
Oh, my wife does that a lot. Yeah. If anybody's
going to have their food sent back, it's my wife.
But that is what it is, all right. Your final clue, end.

Speaker 2 (01:31:31):
Of meal, end of meal, offering to pay.

Speaker 3 (01:31:39):
Oh that's a good answer. That's a good but that
is not the correct answer. Forty one percent the people
have surprised at inner date by ordering two desserts for themselves.

Speaker 2 (01:31:51):
Oh, my gosh, for them two for themselves?

Speaker 3 (01:31:54):
Yes, people have done. Wow, that's right. How do there?

Speaker 2 (01:32:01):
How does their metabolic economy not collapse?

Speaker 3 (01:32:04):
Yeah, so there you go. So that again that even
surprises the server sometimes. So if you ever ordered two
desserts for yourself, no, for myself.

Speaker 2 (01:32:15):
No, dessert is already like I should share this, probably
because this is right, a lot of calories.

Speaker 3 (01:32:22):
Yeah, well yeah, and usually we end up sharing the
dessert because at the time, but you know, we can't
afford to having also.

Speaker 2 (01:32:29):
The dessert, like nowadays, you get to desert, it's like
twelve bucks. I know the crap.

Speaker 3 (01:32:35):
Yeah, it's right, you're exactly, so all right, here we go.
Mind bender number two A mere thirty seven percent, a
little over one third of people do this to pass
the time when they're sick.

Speaker 2 (01:32:51):
What is it they do?

Speaker 6 (01:32:54):
So?

Speaker 2 (01:32:54):
Thirty percent of people do this to pass the time
with this, Yes.

Speaker 3 (01:32:57):
Thirty seven percent of people to do this. Yeah, they
do this to pass the time when they're sick.

Speaker 2 (01:33:04):
What is it.

Speaker 3 (01:33:07):
If you've been sick? What do you do to pass
the time? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:33:10):
Well, I mean for me, I throw on like the
History channel. What did as a kid? Man? I there's
something comforting about it even as an adult?

Speaker 3 (01:33:20):
Okay, all right?

Speaker 2 (01:33:22):
Is that?

Speaker 3 (01:33:23):
Would that be your answer?

Speaker 2 (01:33:24):
Yeah, I'm gonna go for it. Maybe I'm.

Speaker 3 (01:33:28):
No, you're getting really warm. I will give you the
first clue. Some people do it in bed, some do
it on the couch.

Speaker 2 (01:33:35):
So it couldn't be hamstering.

Speaker 3 (01:33:41):
That's right, you would need a sun root for that.

Speaker 2 (01:33:45):
Fall asleep watching TV?

Speaker 3 (01:33:47):
I mean, man, you're you're like dancing all around it,
all right? Your next clue? Nothing to do with a nap?

Speaker 2 (01:33:57):
Okay? Well? Yeah, am I like adding too much detail?
Like by saying History channel?

Speaker 3 (01:34:02):
And oh well no, no, you're not adding too much detail.

Speaker 2 (01:34:05):
I've learned, like I would be very specific with these.
It's watching to general.

Speaker 3 (01:34:11):
Yeah it is too general, Yes it is, okay. I
thirty seven percent of people do this to pass the
time when they're sick. Some people do it in bed,
some do it on the couch. Nothing to do with
a nap? What is your next guess? M? Do they

(01:34:31):
You're getting really really close. I know you're not specific enough.

Speaker 2 (01:34:36):
Oh my gosh, more specific than watching the History Channel.
Let's see why. Oh gosh, I know.

Speaker 3 (01:34:48):
Yeah, you're you're really you're you're like within breathing distance.

Speaker 2 (01:34:53):
The correct answer is it, is it like watching like
true crime dramas or something, or true crime be a
little more specific, more specific? Oh my gosh, is it?

Speaker 3 (01:35:03):
What does it have to be true crime? True crime dramas?

Speaker 2 (01:35:09):
So more specific or like more, what what what else.

Speaker 3 (01:35:12):
Would people be doing if they're watching something? I mean,
if there I mean, is it just the true crime dramas?

Speaker 1 (01:35:19):
And what what.

Speaker 3 (01:35:22):
I mean the next the final clue is entertaining.

Speaker 2 (01:35:25):
Of course, it's entertaining. Why are you going to do
something it's not entertaining?

Speaker 3 (01:35:31):
But it's not necessarily true crime dramas or the History channel.
I mean, you're that you're that close you can not
step over and and and hit it is.

Speaker 2 (01:35:43):
It's just like daytime television, like you know, okay, because
that feels too general for me, right it is.

Speaker 3 (01:35:53):
I mean, you're not necessarily just channel surfing. I mean
you're you're obviously you're watching something.

Speaker 2 (01:36:04):
I mean like, well it's court TV things like Judge
GB all.

Speaker 3 (01:36:10):
Think of like you're watching movies.

Speaker 2 (01:36:13):
Movies, Oh my gosh, okay, like Netflix.

Speaker 3 (01:36:16):
You're on Netflix watching movies. Yeah, all right, I.

Speaker 2 (01:36:20):
Said TV shows though watching movies. Yes, in a little
bit too close.

Speaker 3 (01:36:26):
Yes exactly? All right, all right, so all right, it's
a learning experience, all right, your next mindbender? All right,
A new phone is the top gift people want to
forgive a cheating partner. A new phone is the top
gift people want to forgive a cheating partner, What is

(01:36:47):
the second most wanted gift?

Speaker 2 (01:36:51):
Okay, I was gonna say a new partner, but I
don't think that fits the No, I don't think so
I'm gonna say a new car.

Speaker 3 (01:37:01):
Oh, a new car. Well, it's not necessarily that. But
your clue is it can be expensive.

Speaker 2 (01:37:09):
Oh okay, well I assume it's gotta be expensive.

Speaker 3 (01:37:12):
Yeah, a new phone is the top gift people want
to forgive a cheating partner. What is the second most
wanted gift? And it can be expensive.

Speaker 2 (01:37:21):
I'm gonna say like jewelry, diamonds or something like some
kind of jewelry.

Speaker 3 (01:37:28):
Your next clue has nothing to do with jewelry, so.

Speaker 2 (01:37:32):
I always get the clue that matters right after it
no longer matters, that's right.

Speaker 3 (01:37:39):
So so a new phone is the top gift people
want to forgive a cheating partner. What's the second? It
can be expensive and nothing to do with jewelry.

Speaker 2 (01:37:47):
Okay, nothing to do with jewelry can be expensive to
forgive a cheating partner. I can't really think of a
lot like you're trying to buy someone's love back. That's
that's gonna take it. A lot. Oh, man, let's see,
I'm running out. Those are the only two things I

(01:38:09):
could think. Uh, okay, it can be expensive.

Speaker 3 (01:38:14):
Remember you're trying to forgive a cheating partner.

Speaker 2 (01:38:17):
Yeah, let's see. I should have been more specific into
the car with the sun roof earlier. Man, forgive? What
do you do to forgive a cheating partner? Oh? I

(01:38:43):
mean do they do? They want like a new kitchen
like I want to. I want to like to do
a new renovation, a larger makeover. Yeah not.

Speaker 3 (01:38:55):
Now, here's your last clue.

Speaker 11 (01:38:57):
A week, a week something a week, just a week,
a week of vacation, like a cruise.

Speaker 3 (01:39:10):
That's exactly correct. The answer is a vacation. The second
most wanted gift is a vacation. They really want a
new phone to forgive a cheating partner. See you nail
that one, yail that one.

Speaker 2 (01:39:23):
So now you know exactly what it costs to you.

Speaker 3 (01:39:28):
That's right. So if you get caught hamstring and somebody
that you shouldn't be hamstring with, you know what that means?

Speaker 2 (01:39:33):
You could start.

Speaker 3 (01:39:37):
That's that.

Speaker 2 (01:39:37):
Yeah, you set a little money aside so that you
get caught.

Speaker 3 (01:39:42):
So you've got one out of three. So far. Okay,
so here's your fourth mind bender.

Speaker 2 (01:39:47):
I feel good. That was the first one. I feel
like I solidly really you.

Speaker 3 (01:39:51):
Really nailed that one on your own. That's good. I
didn't have to give you any extra clues. Okay, uh,
here's the next one. Only twenty percent, twenty percent of
people will get a new one before the holidays start.

Speaker 2 (01:40:06):
Only we'll get a new one the holidays. What is it?

Speaker 3 (01:40:11):
Only twenty percent of people will get a new one
before the holidays start. What is it?

Speaker 2 (01:40:18):
Well, I am thinking, generally speaking, like cars and phones
to come out right before the holidays.

Speaker 3 (01:40:26):
True, but again the twenty percent, Well, what we're talking
about is the key element here is the holidays. This
is specifically, they get this before the holidays start. So
this is this is the key thing. Here is specifically
to the holidays.

Speaker 2 (01:40:42):
All of their Christmas shopping done.

Speaker 3 (01:40:45):
And now you sound like my wife, but no, she's
got her she's got her Christmas shopping done the year.
She's on December the twenty seventh, she's shopping for the
next Christmas. Okay, so no, all right, here's your first clue.
Not an outfit, not an outfit. Only only twenty percent
of people will get a new one before the holidays start.

(01:41:07):
Not an outfit?

Speaker 2 (01:41:09):
What is it?

Speaker 4 (01:41:13):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (01:41:13):
Like I'm assuming the holiday is gonna be Christmas? That's
like that's like the biggest a new Christmas tree.

Speaker 3 (01:41:20):
Wow? So not that usually? I mean, well, in twenty
people get Christmas trees, and I think more people get
Christmas trees in that.

Speaker 2 (01:41:30):
But well, yeah, I guess I'm about like the fake
ones if you buy real.

Speaker 3 (01:41:36):
Right, So here's your next your next.

Speaker 2 (01:41:38):
Clue virtual, virtual, Okay, twenty.

Speaker 3 (01:41:43):
People will get a new one before the holidays start.
Not an outfit, virtual, virtual, we'll.

Speaker 2 (01:41:49):
Get a new one. I mean, is it a phone?
Because I didn't think so.

Speaker 3 (01:41:58):
No, man, So you're last clue plastic.

Speaker 2 (01:42:02):
Plastic, virtual and plastic. Well that's interesting.

Speaker 3 (01:42:07):
Not an outfit, and people will get a new one
before the holidays start. Virtual, not an outfit. Virtual and plastic.

Speaker 2 (01:42:19):
The virtuals throw me off here, all right.

Speaker 3 (01:42:23):
Focus on the word plastic.

Speaker 2 (01:42:25):
Yeah hmm.

Speaker 3 (01:42:30):
Think about how you use the word plastic.

Speaker 2 (01:42:35):
How do you use it?

Speaker 3 (01:42:38):
If you're going to get something before the holidays. We'll
get a new one before the holidays.

Speaker 2 (01:42:45):
My final clue is plastic plastic. Yeah, the clues do
tend to get more better. Awful, that's awful with it though.

Speaker 3 (01:42:58):
Yeah, oh, I could use the word plastic in a sentence,
but it would be a little it would it would
tip you off.

Speaker 2 (01:43:09):
I bet mm hmmm, virtual and plastic.

Speaker 3 (01:43:19):
It's not an outfit.

Speaker 2 (01:43:22):
You keep focusing on not an outfit, so it makes
you feel like it's.

Speaker 3 (01:43:25):
No plastic is probably the best description.

Speaker 2 (01:43:32):
Plastic. Oh man, these these are tough. Sometimes you're to.

Speaker 3 (01:43:37):
Get it and they get a new one before the holidays,
specifically the holidays. I would think being in the business
you're in, this would make sense.

Speaker 2 (01:43:52):
Oh my gosh, okay, wait wait, will you give me
extra hints? Credit card?

Speaker 3 (01:44:02):
A new credit card to help pay for the purchases
they're going to have? Twenty percent of people will do this.
I had to do something to push you over the edge, man,
because they're going to use their plastic to buy things.

Speaker 6 (01:44:15):
I know.

Speaker 2 (01:44:18):
I feel like I feel like you gave you an
extra hint on that one.

Speaker 3 (01:44:21):
Bull well you know, yeah, all right, your final mindbender.
All right, just twenty nine percent, twenty nine percent of
people recycle this?

Speaker 6 (01:44:34):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (01:44:35):
Twenty nine percent of people recycle this?

Speaker 3 (01:44:39):
I know you guys, are big recyclers.

Speaker 2 (01:44:41):
Oh man, let's see twenty percent of people recycle.

Speaker 3 (01:44:45):
Twenty twenty nine percent of people recycle this.

Speaker 2 (01:44:48):
Okay, what is it?

Speaker 3 (01:44:57):
That means that thirty one or seven?

Speaker 2 (01:45:00):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (01:45:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:45:02):
Multiple does, so it's not going to be like bottles
and cans exactly. Feel like i'd be higher, it would
be much higher.

Speaker 3 (01:45:10):
So just twenty percent of people recycle this, what is it?

Speaker 2 (01:45:14):
I feel like cardboard boxes would be much higher.

Speaker 3 (01:45:18):
Probably would that be? Would that be your answer?

Speaker 2 (01:45:20):
No? No, I'm gonna say, oh gosh, manmm, what's a
weird thing to recycle that not everyone would recycling? I
don't know. Ziplock bags, I don't know. People throw that away.

Speaker 3 (01:45:45):
Some people wash their ziplock?

Speaker 2 (01:45:47):
Is that considered recycling if you're washing it?

Speaker 3 (01:45:50):
No, Now here's your here's your first clue. Some give
it to their kids.

Speaker 2 (01:45:57):
Some give it to their kids. Okay, just twenty.

Speaker 3 (01:46:01):
Percent of people that'll recycle this, some give it to
their kids.

Speaker 2 (01:46:04):
Okay, a frying pan. There's literally a frying there's a
frying pan in my backyard, right, No, kids.

Speaker 6 (01:46:14):
Like?

Speaker 3 (01:46:17):
Okay, I and their next clue? Not clothing. I didn't
say clothing, all right? Not clothing. It's probably not kitchen
utensils either. Twenty nine percent of.

Speaker 2 (01:46:25):
People recycle this.

Speaker 3 (01:46:27):
Some give it to their kids.

Speaker 2 (01:46:29):
Not clothing, goodness, not clothing. By recycled, I mean like
reuse again or can it actually go on a recycling bin?

Speaker 3 (01:46:39):
Actually there are bins that do collect these. I think
the good A good clue is giving it to your kids,
because you hear.

Speaker 2 (01:46:49):
This all the time, right, I mean, is it toys?

Speaker 3 (01:46:54):
Hmm, well, I mean there's a good answer, but no.
Your next clue, uh, use it every day.

Speaker 2 (01:47:04):
Use it every day, and some people give it to
their kids.

Speaker 3 (01:47:08):
But just twenty nine percent of the people recycle this.
Some give it to their kids, not clothing. Use it
every day?

Speaker 2 (01:47:19):
Is it? Is it your toothbrush?

Speaker 3 (01:47:20):
To people recycle, you gotta recycle a toothbrush.

Speaker 2 (01:47:23):
No, yeah, I don't recycle it, but I've probably in
the seventy percent of people who don't.

Speaker 3 (01:47:29):
Oh, the the correct answer. Twenty nine percent of people
recycle their old smartphone.

Speaker 2 (01:47:36):
Oh I would have gotten that.

Speaker 3 (01:47:38):
But yeah, well they do give it to they do.

Speaker 2 (01:47:41):
That makes sense.

Speaker 3 (01:47:42):
Yeah, take out the same card. Give it to the
kids so they can play little games on it or something.

Speaker 2 (01:47:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:47:47):
Yeah, so I mean, I mean, have you done that?

Speaker 6 (01:47:51):
Have you?

Speaker 3 (01:47:51):
Have you got the point? You can give your old
smartphone to the kids?

Speaker 2 (01:47:54):
Oh heck no, I want to. I want to kick
that game down the road as far as I can.

Speaker 3 (01:48:00):
Oh, I see. Well all right, so well, look, you're
still progressing. At least got one without any effort whatsoever.
But you're kind of getting into the groove here. All right,
this is good.

Speaker 2 (01:48:12):
If I get one a week, I'm happy with that
right now exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:48:16):
I predict that you you'll get the hang of this
and you'll be able to kind of get what we're
looking for each week. But you kind of learned something
in the process, which is kind of fun.

Speaker 2 (01:48:24):
So well, I learned how unhinged.

Speaker 3 (01:48:29):
Yes, you also learn what not to do with your
sun roof.

Speaker 2 (01:48:37):
Some people seem to be really into it.

Speaker 3 (01:48:39):
I can't wait for you to share with missus Pancho
what hamstring is.

Speaker 2 (01:48:43):
Oh I let her earlier this. Yeah, I could judge
from the look.

Speaker 3 (01:48:49):
That she gave me that she would not not be interested.

Speaker 2 (01:48:53):
Yeah, no, she's not a thirsty hamster.

Speaker 3 (01:48:56):
Yeah. All right, Well we've got I got some interesting stories.
We've been we've been mining on the internet. For next
time for you to pick. Here's some of the things
you can look forward to with fall coming here within
a month or so. It's almost butter candle season.

Speaker 2 (01:49:13):
Well, butter candle. What in the world, It's.

Speaker 3 (01:49:16):
Exactly what it sounds. Candle's made out of butter.

Speaker 2 (01:49:21):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:49:22):
Yes, I'm thinking about getting one from my wife because
she loves butter and she loves candles. Okay, so all right, yes, exactly,
all right. Another one pe as in pork a dermatology's
office is silly voicemail is going viral. So this is
a great voicemail, clever voicemail from a dermatology's office, which

(01:49:45):
is really pretty funny.

Speaker 2 (01:49:47):
And I like this.

Speaker 3 (01:49:48):
We have a man's dog poops on a neighbor's lawn
and so the neighbor pulls a gun on him. So
you definitely don't want that to happen.

Speaker 2 (01:50:00):
It's a biological warfare though, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:50:03):
That's true. And here's something that's kind of weird involving celebrities.
Why is Jay Lenno three D printing a toilet seat
for Harrison Ford? So, I mean, you you've got a
friend that has a three D printer, so obviously you
can print toilet seats now, But the question is why

(01:50:23):
is Jay Leno doing it for Harrison Ford? All right?
And I love this. This is actually from Pennsylvania where
a man is at a township meeting and he makes
dirt bike sounds and pretends to ride away. At this
township meeting want well, they want to close a dirt

(01:50:44):
bike park, and so the guy is making a point
and so he's making dirt bike sounds. It's pretty funny
because we have audio from that also, which is kind
of funny. And of course we have you know, it's
been been the rage all over, but we have the
whole cracker barrels story that's.

Speaker 2 (01:51:01):
Been going on for a while. I feel like, oh
that one at this point.

Speaker 3 (01:51:06):
Oh no, no, no, it's just it's still evolving. I
mean it is, Oh it really is it really really is?
I mean so so, I mean, you know, they have
a failed rebrand. They vowed to include Uncle Herschel on
the menu but not the logo, but then they didn't.
Now they're going to rescind it. And did you see
the thing just a little extra on this whole thing?

(01:51:28):
Did you hear how steak and shake? You know, they
they kind of threw some shade on Cracker Barrel. Yeah, okay,
And I heard this because Steak and Shake was was
posting stuff saying, you know, we're not going to be
like Cracker Barrel. We've always been the same, We're always
loyal to our customers. And I'm thinking, why is Steak
and Shake throwing shade on Cracker Barrel. Well, I found

(01:51:49):
out today because the man who owns the Steak and
Shake franchise is one of the major investors in Cracker Barrel. Really, yes,
and he tried to convince the board not to go
through with the rebranding in twenty twenty four. Yes, oh yeah,

(01:52:09):
oh yeah, this is just getting more INSI.

Speaker 2 (01:52:12):
So he's just trying to like, you know, Hedges best.

Speaker 3 (01:52:15):
Oh, he's like rubbing their nose in it is what
he's doing. That think that's great.

Speaker 2 (01:52:20):
So the idiot I feel like marketing companies like they
have they have to make big moves just to justify
their jobs and exist, even when the big moves suck.

Speaker 3 (01:52:32):
Like absolutely absolutely so Anyway, the whole story is is that. Okay,
So then we have a customer sets fire to a
cafe because they ran out of mayo. Oh man, all right,
and this this is kind of weird.

Speaker 6 (01:52:49):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:52:50):
We have a former jail commander who's being sued for
allegedly watching the videos of the inmates strip search eight
thousand times.

Speaker 2 (01:53:02):
Oh man, is that so? Oh? No?

Speaker 3 (01:53:09):
I guess yeah, exactly three, not once, but three thousand
times he's watched these videos. All right. Then you're familiar
with the Thames River in the UK, okay, Well, they
have in the middle of the Thames River wet Wipe Island.
They're finally going to remove wet Wipe Island and you'll
find out.

Speaker 2 (01:53:28):
What that is. I can. I have a small idea
of what it might be.

Speaker 3 (01:53:32):
Yeah, and it's just as disgusting as as you find
any that's for sure. All right. So first day of
school we have a bunch of Massachusetts students attacked by
a swarm of bees on the first day of school.
And by the way, if you ever had the desire
to want to break a world record, there are seventy

(01:53:54):
that have not been attempted yet so well, according to
the Guinness Book of World Records. They just, by the way,
they just turned seventy years old, so they have.

Speaker 2 (01:54:09):
They're just trying to come up with like a market exactly,
trying to encourage it to keep themselves irrelevant.

Speaker 3 (01:54:14):
I guess yes. So they've got a list of seventy
records that have not yet been broken. We've got twenty
five of them, and some of them are pretty clever.
I mean, it's possible you could possibly be a world
record holder here, you know. So, and here's something I mean,
I'm going to try this on my wife and see
if this works. But apparently she loves chocolate. Okay, and
apparently chocolate tastes better if you eat it while listening

(01:54:39):
to this particular song which I have will play, all right, so,
which would be kind of fun. All right, then we
all love this. We have a dad who faked his death,
abandoned his family just to go to be with his
mistress in Uzbekistan.

Speaker 2 (01:54:55):
That's a classic dad move right there.

Speaker 3 (01:54:58):
Okay, yeah, and he got caught, so all right. Then
we have a Florida man who hits a deer, feels
bad about it, and lies down next to its dead carcass.
Oh well, you know at least all right?

Speaker 1 (01:55:15):
Yeah, so.

Speaker 3 (01:55:17):
Yeah, this is true. Then if you've ever been to
the Texas Roadhouse, we have a former Texas Roadhouse server
who shares how she used a little free bread rolls
to trick the customers. A little inside deal here, all right, Yeah,
that's right. And finally, the last thing we've found is

(01:55:42):
the new confidence boost you need in naked yoga. So
you know, maybe this is that that we should try.
You know, maybe we should try a little naked yoga
to help boost our confidence.

Speaker 2 (01:55:55):
I feel like naked yoga would it would maybe like
enhance the figure of one of the genders, and would
and would deconstructor make worse the figure of the other gender.
I understand, And I'll let you all assume which one

(01:56:19):
of those are. But you already know the correct answer
to that.

Speaker 3 (01:56:21):
If you do naked yoga, it makes it much easier
to do hamstring.

Speaker 2 (01:56:26):
Man. I guess, dude, I just looked up what hot
wife it is because I was thinking, like, I don't
even know what this is. Well, I don't know why
they're calling it hot wifing. For for decades it's been
called cut holding. Why It's like they're trying to rebrand
truck holding to hot wife. Sounds good. You're like, I
want a hot.

Speaker 3 (01:56:46):
Wife, Yeah right, You're like, oh, man, so so I
don't know who did.

Speaker 2 (01:56:52):
Like, clearly the marketing company that did cracker barrels marketing
did not do the marketing for reband branding. What cut
holding is now being called? Goodness? Whatever joke I made
earlier about hotway, no' you're correct that I have a
hot wife.

Speaker 3 (01:57:13):
Yes you have now now not.

Speaker 2 (01:57:18):
Verb.

Speaker 3 (01:57:22):
That's beautiful. I like the fact you had to actually
look it up that your age.

Speaker 5 (01:57:28):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:57:28):
I don't like this crap anymore. I'm a married man
with young kids. What what? What? What? How? I understand
what that hamstering is.

Speaker 3 (01:57:36):
It's just great. I guess I must still be and
must be culturally relevant. I'm more culturally relevant than you are.

Speaker 2 (01:57:50):
It's creepier that you are more relevant because your age,
Like you're at the you're at the age where it's uncomfortable.
You don't you don't want to know if I didn't
know you as well as to do, I think, oh, man, guy,
you're talking all this stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:58:05):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:58:05):
I'm so comfortable with my kids around here.

Speaker 3 (01:58:08):
So in other words, you're you're you're saying I would
be that guy in the dump truck.

Speaker 2 (01:58:13):
No, no, grown man should be that happy.
